Chicago P.D.

Welcome home.

- How you doing, Bench? - Your bourbon neat?

Yeah, you know it.

Having a slow night in here, huh, Bench?

Slow month.

Really? Sorry to hear that.

- The table's ready. - Yeah?

Guys already back there?

- Yep. - Thanks, brother.

Evening, fellas.

- Hey. - Hi, buddy.

- How we doing tonight? - How we doing?

Where the hell is Falcone?

- Canceled. - Same with Kato.

Again?

- Come on. - I ain't worried.

Only means I get to take your money.

- Ha. - Now...

Ay, uh, would you mind sitting down already?

- I just got here. Take it easy, jeez.

Come on, let's play.

I got a 9:00 with my wife.

Oh, no, I don't even wanna know what that means.

When you've been married as long as I have,

you learn that this is the way things are done.

- You plan these things-- - No way.

What's the buy-in?

- Two? - Two bucks.

- All right, let's go. - All right.

Three tags in one day.

Double up.

All three corner kings.

I'm driving around with a big ass crown

across my hood.

See, how the hell does that even happen?

- I understand one, but three? - Yeah.

- Three? - They did the jewels

in Sharpie.

You know how hard that is to buff out?

Yeah, I wish I coulda seen you driving that thing.

Still can, ain't come out.

Supervisor says it's not worth the trouble

to find the guys.

- Come on. - Guess they own my squad now.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me, not tonight.

Oh, don't tell me you got called in.

No, it's Kim.

Makayla's having a meltdown.

The neighbor dog ate her platypus stuffed animal.

She can't sleep without it.

Burgess or Makayla?

Ha, you're a funny man, Banks.

No, they'll be all right. Come on, you're not leaving.

What do you want me to do? Kim's stuck at home.

I gotta go get a new one. The kid needs it.

We've got 20 minutes still.

20 minutes till when?

Till your 9:00?

When you sleep with your wife?

I gotta go. I'm sorry, boys.

I love you. I'll see you later.

- All right. - Ta-ta.

She's gonna love it.

How old's your daughter?

Uh, she's actually not my, uh...

Uh, she's seven. - Oh.

Thank you.

Shut up, shut up!

This is Officer Adam Ruzek.

Badge number 59054.

I'm at the Michigan and Balboa mall.

Armed robbery in progress,

shots fired by the offender,

civilian down-- I need an ambo right now.

Ladies, come towards me.

Come towards me right now, come on.

Shut up!

Keep moving, keep moving.

Guy's got a gun. Shoot him!

- Shoot him! - No!

Chicago PD, you let her go!

Let her go right now!

Let her go!

Stop! Stop right there!

Drop the gun!

Ma'am, stay right there. Stay down.

2320 squad, this is Sergeant Hill.

Sergeant, I'm Ruzek, Intelligence.

2320 squad on the scene of the armed robbery.

Got two masked offenders fleeing eastbound on foot.

Hey, hold up! Too many civilians.

That's an order! Terminate the pursuit!

Orders coming through!

There's too many civilians out here.

2320, I need an ambo

at State and Monroe.

I got a civilian struck by a vehicle.

The offenders from the robbery fled in a black sedan.

I got a partial plate--

861 Charlie.

- Copy that, ambo en route. - Help is on the way.

Guys, back up so she can breathe.

There will be no pursuit of that vehicle.

We don't need anyone else getting hurt tonight.

- Help is on the way. - Ma'am...

Hey, you go shut that street down.

Now!

I'm right here.

Don't move, okay?

One of the skull masks shoots at me three times.

They come out that exit right there,

run down this way, I gave chase.

That's when the woman got hit by the car?

Yeah, she's on her way to Med right now.

No major injuries, but possible concussion.

Patrol sergeant said he ordered you

to terminate the chase.

You disobeyed.

Boss, these guys had just...

shot an innocent man, terrorized a store.

It was brazen as hell.

I wasn't gonna stop.

The man did nothing wrong.

- It's his call. - No, I know.

So it's a good thing you didn't hear him.

All right, you get a look at the offenders?

Both white, tall.

I didn't get a look at the driver.

- Hey, man, you okay? - Yeah, yeah.

You guys get anything on the car?

Stolen, no sign of it yet.

I talked to a few witnesses.

No good description of the offenders.

All right, check PODs and cameras.

- Maybe get lucky on facial rec. - All right, yeah.

- Okay. - Evening, boys.

Oh, Detective Ortiz.

Something tells me you're not down here shopping.

Not tonight, Hank, no.

Ruz.

It's good to see you, buddy.

What, you're not eating? Why you so thin?

Sorry, gotta watch my girlish figure, you know?

- How's Mary doing? - Better.

Chemo and prayers seem to be helping.

I'm not sure in which order, but...

- You give her my best. - Yeah.

You working this crew?

Yeah, it's their fourth smash-and-grab in a month.

All Gold Coast.

- Hmm. - I heard the word "skulls"

on the radio.

Two inside, one with a hammer,

one with a bag?

That's exactly right.

So you got any suspects?

Yeah, we think at least one of them is a meth head.

Techs found residue on a cash register

in a jewelry store on State.

In other words, you've got nothing.

Ouch, man.

Why don't we work this one together, Sal?

I'd like that.

So we got three offenders.

The shells from the jewelry store hit

matched the weapon in all three prior robberies.

Was anyone killed in those?

No, no, no, security guard's our first victim.

These guys like high-end, especially watches.

Think expensive Rolexes and Pateks.

Copy high-end. You got a line on the fences?

No, no, but they're definitely dumping them.

We found one of the Pateks on eBay.

They always wear the rubber skull masks.

Lead skull carries a semiauto.

Skull number two does

the smash-and-grab with a mini sledgehammer.

Skull number three, that's the driver.

- They always stolen vehicles? - Every one of 'em, Hank.

They must be getting them through a chop shop quick.

Getting lucky on PODs, I don't know.

Well, their luck just ran out--must've felt the heat.

Patrol found their getaway vehicle

- abandoned in Pilsen. - Okay, good.

Kim, you and Adam check it out.

Sal.

Why do I know that guy's name?

Sal Ortiz, I feel like it's very familiar.

He's a legend.

Once he got a life-saving award

for performing CPR on a baby while he was being fired at

by two G-Parks.

Wow, I mean, that's amazing.

- I know, right? - Yeah.

I know you've heard me talk about him before.

I've known him since I'm a kid.

He's the complete opposite of my dad.

I mean, this guy is like the real deal.

- Nice. - Hey, Burgess?

- Yeah? - Can you give me a second
