Chicago P.D.

Thanks for meeting me, Kevin.

Yeah, sure thing.

Please, have a seat.

So I have been reviewing the evidence

in the Doyle homicide case,

and I just wanted to

touch base with you

one more time.

- I'm not sure what you're asking.

- I'm asking if there's anything

you would like to add

or modify.

No.

I stand by my original statement.

Yo, what's in the bag?

Nothing.

Hey, I'm police.

I asked you a question.

- Officer Doyle had no probable cause

hopping out of the car and stopping Shawn Paige.

Doyle was the aggressor, not Paige.

That man was walking down the street

minding his own business.

- So the two men inside of the recording studio

who shot and killed Doyle...

Doyle!

- You believe they were acting in self-defense?

Yes, ma'am.

I need you to fight, Doyle. I need you to fight.

Okay.

Then I guess I need to file a motion to dismiss.

That's your call.

No, it's actually your call.

You were the only witness.

So if you think Doyle is to blame, there is no case.

Like I said,

I stand by my original statement.

- It takes a lot of guts for a young Black cop

to take on the Chicago Police Department.

- I'm right here! I'm right here!

- I know what's been going on with Atwater past few weeks.

- I got no idea what you're talking about.

Kenny.

Please don't make a jerk of me, okay?

We both know what you've been doing has gotta stop now

before someone gets hurt.

- Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about,

but even if I did,

there's no way I could agree to that.

That kid Atwater broke the most sacred rule there is:

he snitched on the police

on a cop who died on the line of duty

with a wife and two little kids.

If that's not bad enough,

state's attorney's office just dropped the case.

The two punks that killed Doyle,

a Chicago police officer,

are gonna walk free.

- Atwater did what he thought was right.

- No. He crossed the line.

Blue wall is there to keep us together.

It keeps us safe.

It's a bible, our Ten Commandments.

You of all people know that, Hank.

If someone chooses to violate that code,

he's gotta pay the price.

Way it's always been.

Way it always will be.

- You know, Lisa, I signed a statement

with the state's attorney.

Your husband will be exonerated.

I can't believe it.

I really can't.

It's the best damn thing I've heard in a long time.

It's good news for you too.

That means that lawsuit against the city just got a lot better.

Proves that cop Doyle was in the wrong;

your husband Shawn was in the right.

Thank you.

Glad I could help.

- You know, brother, this city needs more people like you.

People who actually care.

Know how to treat people like people.

Ay.

I got you, little homie.

Feel real sorry about your father.

He was a good man. He did nothing wrong.

Then why'd you kill him?

I'm telling you, I'm starting to get paranoid.

Like, for real.

Every time I see a cop, I get nervous.

I start thinking, my mind starts racing.

I told you I was literally on my knees

looking under the damn car. For what?

I don't know, but I was looking.

- How many officers were in the car?

- What do you mean? - I'm just asking.

- One. Why?

- Well, if someone was gonna plant something,

I'm guessing, you know,

they would do it alone and leave their partner out of it.

You're saying that--

- I'm saying that, you know, Doyle's crew, they play dirty.

Sorry for dragging you into all into this, Ruz.

This nonsense is starting to get to me.

Am I going crazy,

or is this actually happening?

- Hey? - Hm?

- Hand me that rag. - What?

It's heroin.

What the hell?

Well,

at least we know you're not crazy.

Damn.

Well, what's the plan?

You gonna inventory and write paper?

- I don't know. I'm still thinking about it.

- Did you get a good look at the patrol car?

You see V-tags, plates?

All right, we can pull POD footage,

scroll through the video. Who knows?

Maybe we catch this dirty prick actually planting the dope.

It's possible,

but these dudes are all over the place.

Doyle's probably got two cousins and an uncle

working for IED,

which means no matter what we find,

the case still won't go anywhere, and you know that.

All right.

Well, you do what you gotta do,

but you remember that I'm here to help you, all right?

Any way you want.

Appreciate that.

- Police officers will spend more time in the streets

and in the neighborhoods.

- Hey, Deputy Supe's giving a speech.

You mean apology.

She's pretty much telling us

we're a bunch of unenlightened idiots.

I wouldn't go that far.

She's just telling us what we already know.

Police have to do a better job at deescalating.

- Sure, but she doesn't have to be so disrespectful.

We're all trying our best.

Not good enough, Hailey.

It isn't.

CPD did not kill George Floyd, I get that,

but we sure as hell killed Shawn Paige.

So maybe we should just reserve our judgement,

listen to what the sister has to say.

Yeah, I'm not...

- We will once and for all tear down the blue wall.

Nice to meet you, Sergeant.

- Nice to meet you. - I know you're busy.

I really appreciate you coming in here

to meet me in person.

Deputy Supe calls, you come.

Please, call me Sam.

You want anything to drink? Coffee, water?

No thanks.

- You know, I've been here just two weeks,

and all I keep hearing is your name.

Hank Voight this, Hank Voight that.

By all accounts, you are one hell of a cop.

- Well, that is very kind of you,

but I'm guessing you didn't call me down here

to blow smoke.

- No. I didn't.

I wanted to give you a heads up, cop to cop.

If you keep running your unit the way you've been doing

for the past seven years,

you're gonna be out of a job by Christmas.

Anything else I should know?

Yeah.

I'm on your side.

I want you to succeed, Sergeant.

If Hank Voight can change the way he polices,

if he can learn how to play by the rules,

the rest of the department will follow.

- Look, thanks for the heads up,

but I gotta go if that's all right.

5-year-old girl just got shot.

Stay safe, Sergeant.

Ma'am.

- Hang in there. You're gonna be okay.

We were walking back

from the market, and then I heard two loud pops,

and I saw Laura on the ground bleeding.

- Okay, did you see the shooter?

No.

- Did you see anything suspicious?

- No, no, no, no, no. I just--

We were just walking, and then she got hit.

Listen, I need to be with my little girl right now.

- Okay, go. - Okay, what do we know?

Not much.

Jay and I heard the "shots fired" call

come over the radio, so we rushed to the scene.

The little girl was bleeding out when we got here.

She got shot in the stomach.
