Chicago P.D.

Maybe the three of us, we could live together

kind of permanently.

Do you think my new friend Teddy

can come over to the new place?

- Teddy a teacher from school? - No.

He's the man who waits by the fence for me.

I wanna see the footage.

His name is Theo Morris.

What the hell is going on, Alana?

He's Makayla's uncle.

Oh, Jesus.

He's filed a petition for full custody.

Carolina, we do not understand

how it got this far.

I mean, the only time this man has spoken

to Makayla is when he's creeping around

outside of her school. I mean, this is...

This is insane.

When Mr. Morris showed up at Makayla's school,

it wasn't illegal.

He and his wife, they have a lot of money,

big house, big yard, all that.

And Theo Morris is a blood relation.

We're talking about his brother's daughter.

A brother who's serving life for murder.

- Adam. - No.

This is the qualifier?

- I mean... - I understand.

Tariq Morris killed Makayla's family.

I understand, but in the eyes of the system

there's only one client here. It's not you.

Yeah, I know.

The judge's decision will rest

only on what's best for Makayla,

where she's safe, the stability of the home,

the mental and physical health of the caretakers.

And being a blood relative carries a lot of weight.

The truth?

You could lose.

You could lose Makayla.

To avoid that, you need to keep it together.

Do what I say. We fight,

but we do it calmly, methodically.

Okay?

We got this.

We do.

Got some time before Theo's testimony.

You wanna grab a bit to eat, think about anything else

for a little while?

I've got some errands to run,

but why don't we just meet back here after?

All right.

You sure you don't want company?

I'm good, thanks.

All right.

Gang going at it.

Caller reports snow shovel stolen from his shed,

58th and 10th.

Units in the 9th,

manager of the drugstore at Pulaski and Bruce

says a couple walked out

with a bag of stolen toiletries.

They need a report taken.

Come on.

Units in the 24th and citywide,

call of a home invasion, possible homicide.

3021 Longwood.

5021 Eddie, hold me down responding.

Police! You guys hurt?

Mr. Page, está muerto.

Upstairs?

Anyone else in the house?

¿Hay alguien más en la casa?

No lo sé.

Okay.

Go, go, go, go, go!

5021 Eddie, I got two witnesses sequestered behind my vehicle

for their safety.

Keep the cars rolling, I'm going in,

and I'm going dark.

All right, go ahead and bag it.

Scrub the house, print the place floor to ceiling.

Yes, sir.

Body was cold, no blood splatter,

no signs of a struggle, no defensive wounds.

I think they cut off his hand after he was dead.

But look at this.

Look, there's...

little bits of flesh mixed in with the blood.

I think they used his hand as a paintbrush.

Guy's name was David Page, 45.

He did okay, middle-manager-of-a-bank type,

decent living, little bit of a loner, divorced, no kids.

Neighbor said he lived by himself,

- but was a nice enough guy. - Who called it in?

The housecleaners called it in.

They have a key. They let themselves in.

It's a weekly thing.

Victim's usually at work when they get here,

- but this time... - Uh, the ME's prelim

says that Page was strangled sometime last night.

Weapon was a rope.

Yo, Sarge, we got the victim's wallet.

We got his cell phone.

The money's still in the wallet.

He's got a few decent watches upstairs

that we can inventory, but there's no signs

of forced entry, so it obviously wasn't a robbery.

Someone sure wanted this guy dead

and to send a message while they're at it.

All right, we got some idea of what it isn't.

Let's figure out what it is.

Hey.

You took this job?

Yeah, sorry.

No, it's not about sorries.

I'm just trying to...

- You know? - I know, I know.

Well, listen, it's time.

We gotta go to court.

Okay.

So you were a bit of a miracle, Mr. Morris.

A miracle suggests divine intervention.

With respect to the man upstairs,

I worked for mine.

Um...

The men in my family...

I had six months, tops... behind bars or in the ground.

- Except... - I got out.

Got a scholarship after high school.

Engineering program at Hamburg.

- Germany? - Yes.

Yes, built bridges and canals all around Europe

for the past 20 years. Um, met my wife there.

No children of your own?

We were not able.

You moved back to Chicago?

About six months ago, a headhunter found me.

Brought me back home.

And that's when you learned about Makayla?

First I heard the name, yeah.

Uh...

Look, I-I'm sure

that Ms. Burgess is a good person.

And Linda and I are grateful for you

for taking Makayla in.

What this girl's been through...

I just... I believe in my heart that she should be with family.

Real... real family.

One last question, Mr. Morris.

When you first learned about Makayla's story...

Where she's living now...

Did you ever think about it in racial terms?

You mean, did I ever wonder whether it was best

for a Black girl to be raised by a white cop

in the city of Chicago?

Yes.

That.

No.

So how'd it go in there?

Uncle Theo knows how to work a room.

So where are we?

Toxicology report says there was a high dose

of phenobarbital in the scotch David Page was drinking.

Page would've been lethargic by the time he was killed.

- Comatose? - Yeah, we broke into the DMS

on Page's WhatsApp.

He's been a pill-popper for a long time.

He's talking about "rims and tires."

We're guessing that's Oxy and Percocet.

Guy was alone in the world looking to numb out?

But then, Page changed his tune about a week ago.

No more chill pills.

Page was looking to go up.

He starts referencing the "Big C"

in those DMs.

Coke. Bigger money.

Then on Sunday, three days before.

Page was killed, he's haggling about money with a dealer.

Dealer was not having it.

Dealer's burner triangulates

to a block claimed by the SL Boyz.

In the DMs, Page refers to the dealer as "Sin."

The name popped in the alias database.

"Sin" is short for "Sinister."

His real name is Cesar Altuve.

This guy is a documented shot-caller.

He deals pills. He deals coke.

He's got a violent sheet.

- Bring him in. - Let me talk to him.

I said, "Call me a lawyer."

He's gonna tell you the same thing I'm telling you.

We found an entire pharmacy on you when we picked you up.

That's more than enough to send you downstate.

That's even if we don't connect you to David Page's murder.

Take a look at these.

Friend of mine from the DEA loaned them to me.

It's El Salvador.

Soldados Locos, your ancestral gang.

Turns out that's what they do to guys who don't pay.
