Chicago P.D.

- With the waters of baptism, God makes an end of sin

and a new beginning of goodness.

Give him the new life of baptism

and welcome him into your holy church.

- From church straight to work, cop?

Hey, Mia, Mia.

I just...

I just wanted to say thanks for coming.

I...

my... you know, my cousin, he...

he really loves your ma.

That's my church.

Those are my friends. Of course I was there.

Okay, yeah. I just... I...

Hold up, are you talking to me now or...

'cause I'd really love to be...

- My brother, Quico, was baptized here.

"How's Quico?"

Thanks for asking.

Menard prison is great.

If you're a service dog.

The dogs get heated cells.

Now so much for Quico.

I can see what I can do.

- I'm not asking you for a favor,

I'm just telling you.

You shouldn't be surprised to see me in my neighborhood.

Did you see someone in my car?

No?

Listen, I have to go.

But I...

Juan?

Juan! Do you hear me?

Uh, Juan?

Hey, hey! Can you hear me?

Juan!

J-Juan!

Yes, yes, this is Officer Torres.

My badge number is 58324.

I need an ambulance right now, 1121 North Ravine.

I have a victim that's been shot!

I'm 50 yards off the road! I need an ambulance right now!

Hey, Juan, Juan, hey, hey! No, no, no, stay with me!

Who did this?

- Dante. - Yeah?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No!

We got an ID?

Juan Ariza. He was 45.

He used to be a major dealer in Pilsen.

Huh.

- Did a year in 2016 for distribution of drugs.

Lost some power but still maintained control.

You know him?

- Yeah, I know him. - Huh.

- He used to run the neighborhood when I was kid.

Ruled by fear.

I used to see him at the diner on Cermak.

Tried to be every kid's uncle, you know?

But I maintained my distance.

- Did he say anything when you found him?

He was mumbling.

Sorry, but I couldn't make it out.

Huh.

- Patrol and techs are searching for evidence.

Nothing so far, and there's no cameras in the area.

No shells, either.

And the only blood we got is in the trunk.

This was just a drop site.

- Okay, the Camry belonged to a Regina Foltz,

a retired engineer from Pilsen.

She was carjacked last night around 6:00 p.m.

Offender wore a mask, dragged her out of the car,

and beat her. - All right, that's something.

I'm on it.

- All right, we know Ariza was dumped here.

Question is, where was he shot?

You got a home address?

His last known was on Demont.

Moved away three years ago,

no record of anything else since.

- He's always around the neighborhood,

so he must have a property under another name.

All right, so find it

and get forensics on that

Look, whoever wrote it knew there was a body here.

They gotta know more.

Let's go. - I got it.

Wait, Dante. Hold up.

Why do you think they left youthat note?

'Cause I'm a cop.

Lot of cops in Pilsen.

- Yeah, well, some people still appreciate that I'm police.

They... they come to me.

Simple as that?

Yes, sir. Think so.

All right. Let's get to work.

Techs processed the

No touch DNA, no prints.

- All right. Any luck on your end?

- No, church doesn't have security cameras.

No one's admitting they saw it placed there.

No one's coming forward to me. - Huh.

- This is Juan Ariza. Divorced, no kids.

Ex-wife lives in Cleveland.

Local police checked her alibi. She's clean.

All she wanted is to know if he had suffered.

- All right. Must've made her day.

- This is Ariza's crew, or what's left of it.

They took over Pilsen in the mid-2000s.

They used young enforcers to collect street taxes,

do the dirty work... Tortures to beatdowns.

They were organized and ruthless,

but they started making enemies and losing power.

Kev.

- So the main threat to Ariza's domain

is this young crew called the Serpiente Letal.

Means "fatal snakes."

We got a lot of documented territory conflicts, shootings.

Led by Sergio Navarro

and his right-hand man, Thomas Vega.

Vega's got a long sheet.

Got a couple violent pinches for agg assault

anda carjacking.

Dragged the driver out, beat him, nearly killed him.

- Sounds like our jacking. - Exactly.

Same MO, no evidential proof.

These two have known each other since little league.

In sixth grade,

they robbed the team concession stand together.

You can't make this stuff up.

Where one goes, the other follows.

You know, on paper,

they both look good for it, Sarge,

but like Burgess said,

right now, we got no evidential proof.

- Hmm. - Hey, Boss?

What are you doing here?

I told you to get some sleep. - Yeah, I know.

I'll try. Just came to download my COH.

Platt handed me that on the way up.

Hmm.

- CPIC got a hit on your guy, Ariza.

He's got a house in his niece's name.

- Huh. Place is on Damen and Cullerton.

- That's 20 minutes from where the body was dropped.

Might be where he was shot.

Secure a warrant. Let's search the place.

Chicago PD!

Anybody home?

Go ahead, Kev.

Chicago PD!

Chicago PD! Anyone home?

All right, Kim... - I'll take the basement.

Okay. Let's clear the rest.

Got anything?

No.

Looks clean.

- Guess Ariza had a lot of friends.

Mm-hmm.

You okay?

Yeah. I'm all right.

I'll check the back.

Only thing I found

was this unregistered 9-millimter in a drawer.

No sign of forced entry or a struggle.

Didn't toss the place, nothing seems to be missing.

- No blood, bleach, shell casings.

Ariza wasn't killed here.

- Garage is empty, but I found an extra fob for a Lexus.

Serial number matches Ariza's ex-wife's vehicle.

- Hmm. Could've been what they were driving last night.

- So get into the GPS. Let's find that car.

Hank.

Ariza used to run Torres' neighborhood.

He tell you if he ever knew him?

- He says he barely knew him. Why?

- No reason. - Yeah.

- Car parked here at 9:56 last night.

- All right, we run the addresses on the block?

- Yeah, but the only house that really matters

is that one around the corner.

Loud music complaints, multiple in-service calls.

It's a party house.

A stash house?

- Could be, but I don't understand

why Ariza would visit a rival stash house.

- All right, Upton and I will take the car.

You three, do a walk-by. Check it out.

Gun!

50-21 David, 10-1, 10-1!

Shots fired at the police at 1021 South Homan!

- Copy that. Shots fired. Backup en route.

- Burgess! - Kev!

I got you, Burg!

Go.

Police. I got you, I got you.
