The first 200 lines.
- So, it's your birthday tomorrow.
You remembered.
How could I forget?
It pops up on my Google calendar.
- Yeah, supposedly the guys are throwing me, like, a surprise party at Molly's.
You should come.
So, I read this article, okay,
about this married couple
that bought houses across
the street from each other,
and the guy would go over
for dinner every night,
they'd eat, they'd have sex,
and then he'd go back,
he'd work on his hotrod,
and they made it work like that
for, like, 42 years
without getting divorced.
Okay.
If that's your ideal situation.
I never said ideal.
Units on the City Wide.
We have a hold-up alarm
at 680 North Michigan,
North Schiller Credit Union.
We're getting multiple calls
of shots fired.
Bank robbery in progress.
That's five blocks away.
- 5021 George, plain clothes. - Officers responding.
What happened?
They just went down Grand!
On bikes!
What do you mean?
Like ten-speeds?
No. Motorcycles.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Lincoln, 5021 emergency.
Witnesses say
that the suspects fled
westbound on Grand Avenue
on motorcycles.
Are you all right?
They shot him multiple times.
Hey, Erin. He's gone.
Are there any other offenders
in the building?
No, but they shot the guard
and they shot Jackie.
Come this way.
5021 George,
we're inside the bank,
Roll multiple ambos.
Copy that, 5021 George.
Okay, give me some room.
I've got a female, white.
50 years of age,
gunshot wound to the leg.
She's bleeding pretty bad.
Let go. I got you.
Look at me. Breathe.
Just breathe.
You're gonna be okay.
An officer will meet you
at the hospital,
and he'll take your statement
when you're ready.
You are gonna be okay.
Thank you.
Hey, follow this rig to Med.
Copy that.
So, one wounded, one dead?
Yeah. Security guard
didn't make it.
Whoever did this came in
heavy. They hit the tellers.
They hit the vault. Vanished on
motorcycles with over 150 grand,
according to the manager.
He say whether they handed
out dye packs, GPS trackers?
Haven't gotten that far yet.
Sergeant, a witness saw
one of the offenders drop this
when they were fleeing.
I got no idea what it is.
Oh, it's a cell jammer.
Bag it as evidence.
And make sure you got a copy
of everyone's ID
that you interviewed so far.
Yes, sir.
I need you outside to move
the yellow tape back 50 yards,
and roll in the crime lab.
- All right, but... - Now.
Detective Upton.
Robbery-Homicide.
Hank Voight.
Intelligence.
Well, I appreciate the help,
Sergeant,
but as of now, this is my scene.
My team recovered evidence,
saved a woman's life.
We're running point.
Make sure those shell casings
are photo'd,
bagged, and tagged.
I've been after this crew
for the last three weeks.
Huh. Then why did my team
respond first?
I'm from Robbery-Homicide.
There's been a robbery
and a homicide here.
So, I'd appreciate it
if you vacated my crime scene.
Huh.
All right,
what we know so far:
- We got a four-man takeover crew. - Armed with Sig MPXs,
Dressed to the nines in Kevlar
and motorcycle helmets
with blacked out visors
to conceal their identity.
As soon as this crew
enters a bank,
they shoot out
the security cameras,
which is why there's
so little footage of them.
In this latest robbery,
they killed a security guard,
and they shot a female teller
who was going for an alarm.
We know they also use
cell jammers
so that nobody in the banks can
call 911.
And this crew comes in heavy,
demanding all the money
in the drawers and the vault.
They use dirt bikes
as getaway vehicles,
easily cutting through traffic,
which is how they've eluded
responding patrol cars.
All right, I talked to an
ex-burglar C.I. buddy of mine.
He said the cell jammer came
from Bucktown.
This is Jimmy Rickert.
Old-school tech guy.
He illegally imports
cell jammers
from China into the US
and sells them
through his electronics business
to burglars.
I was able to track
the serial number
from the supplier in Beijing.
It was delivered,
along with other jammers,
to his storefront a month ago.
Is there any sort of pattern
to the types of banks
that they're hitting?
Credit unions.
They're targeting them downtown.
Lots of daily on-hand cash,
but less security
than the corporate branches.
In the last few weeks,
this crew's hit five banks
and done over half a million
in cash.
Sorry for the interruption,
Sergeant.
You get lost on your way back
to Area Central?
You got balls,
trying to steal my case.
Oh...
Detective, that's enough.
Your office.
Chief.
What's your pitch?
I've heard hers.
This crew is hot.
They're getting more brazen.
They're not just shooting
cameras.
They're killing people now.
They need to be put down ASAP.
And where are you at with this
again?
I've been with
this crew since day one.
