The first 200 lines.
Hey, boss.
How's things?
- Well, if it isn't the invisible man.
Yeah.
Well, my undercover assignment, it's wrapped.
How was it?
It was great.
Yeah, I learned a lot.
Glad to hear it.
So now I'm back.
- All right, well, dig out your blues.
Talk to platt in the morning.
Welcome back.
- You're knocking me back down to patrol?
You know, actually, adam,
you were never assigned up here.
You had the privilege to be detailed.
All right.
I mean, I feel like I did good work up here.
- I had to find out from the commander in seven
that you'd been detailed to detached services.
You left me one man short
with a bunch of people asking me questions I couldn't answer.
- Fair enough. I apologize for that.
I do. It's just here's the thing.
My ex-fiancé was coming upstairs,
so I freaked out a little bit.
I needed to clear my head,
which I did.
So, boss, I mean,
intelligence, this is where I want to be.
- I'll keep that in mind if something opens up.
- All right, appreciate it, sarge.
- Oh, hey. I'm rixton.
Oh, ruzek.
- Listen, I... I didn't mean for... - Hey, no sweat, man.
Just keep doing the job.
What's up, scrap?
Another day in paradise.
I told him you got my tab.
- Eh, if it's worth me coming all the way down here.
Thank you.
What's going on?
There's a guy in town,
looking to hire a hit man.
- How did you go from boosting cases of liquor
to being a triggerman?
- It was a friend of a friend who was approached,
and they reached out to me to see if I know anyone.
- There are a lot of things that I can do,
but pretending to be a hit man is not one of them.
So if I call another detective down here,
you better not be jerking me off.
I'm telling you, erin,
it's for real.
al, this is scrap.
We've known each other since we were kids.
- Am I hearing right, you got a solicitation for murder?
Yeah.
But I need a promise from the pd first.
My kid brother, frankie, he owes some guys money
who you don't want to owe money to.
He went south to pick up a car for them.
He got popped, with 100 pounds of weed in the trunk.
100 pounds?
You said it was a little bit of weed.
- I'm offering you murder-for-hire.
That's gotta trump any amount of weed.
I'll give you this guy who wants a hit man,
but you got to get frankie out of jail.
look who it is. It's him, the guy.
Do we got a deal?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Hey, that thing we talked about, I got a guy.
I'm with him right now.
- First thing, no names. - Okay.
- Heard you need something done. - Yeah. Yes.
Um, when can you... - not over the phone.
I'll come to you.
You guys got eyes?
Flash 'em.
Good.
You, uh,
you said be holding two... Two cups, right?
Yeah.
I... I...
I didn't know if you like cream or sugar, so.
so how does this work?
- We go to your room, talk details.
- Um, yeah, I'm not looking for that.
I'm looking for a wire.
- Well, cops don't tape microphones
to people's chests anymore.
Fyi.
What do I call you?
Pulaski.
You have a daughter, pulaski?
No.
I did.
two months ago, this piece of garbage, omar fry,
murdered her,
and walked.
She was only 22.
Her life was just beginning.
I'll pay you 50 grand to kill him.
.
Rebecca clark.
- That's the girl that moved here
and was gunned down in bronzeville
a couple months back, right?
- That's right, she'd only been in chicago
six months before she got killed.
Happened when she pulled over
to buy a bottle of water at a corner store.
Shot with a .45 semi-auto.
Father is donald clark.
He is a poetry professor at west michigan college.
Mother's in a mental institution.
Checked herself in after rebecca's death.
She couldn't handle it.
So who's he want dead?
Uh, omar fry.
He's a documented south ave hustler,
prime suspect in rebecca's murder.
Gang intelligence and area central homicide
both cleared him, so he was released a few weeks ago.
Since then, open murder investigation,
no other suspects.
Now, clark is convinced
that omar fry's the guy who killed his daughter.
- All right, jay, you and atwater hit homan square.
See if you can dig up the original gang file.
Kenny, you and burgess go pay omar fry a visit.
- What's the next step with clark?
- Let's see if we can get some perspective
on the original homicide first,
shed some light on who actually killed his daughter.
For now, just... Just string clark along.
- Yo, sarge, uh, I heard ruzek's back.
Yeah, he's back at 21, yeah,
but he's not back up here.
Copy that.
Good morning, sergeant.
Hey, erin.
So I have a ci,
put us onto a major felony.
In exchange, I need to get his brother out of cook county.
- Well, you know, I'd love to help
but there's more steps than this.
Especially since it's a snitch's relative
and not the actually snitch.
- Come on, sergeant, I made a promise.
- I made a promise too, detective.
I promised to truly serve our sovereign county and state
as a police officer without favor, affection,
malice, or ill will!
Uh-huh.
- hey. - Hey.
What's up?
So I, uh, had a pi friend look into rebecca's case.
Omar fry, he was cleared on all charges.
You... you do know that, right?
- Yeah, that's what the detective said.
You know, with the murder rate here, what the hell
do chicago cops know, right?
All right.
But now if it turns out that
this fry isn't the guy,
you know, you don't get a refund?
I know in my heart he did it.
- All right, I'm gonna need, uh, 10% up front
for a new barrel and a set of wheels.
- You know, you already have a gun.
Why can't you just get this over with?
- Listen, you want this not be traced back to us?
I'm gonna need an untraceable gun,
and I'm not gonna pull up in my own personal vehicle
to do this, all right?
- Look, it's your job, it's fine.
That's 5,000. I think I've got it.
Yeah.
- All right, so, just so we understand each other,
once you start this,
there's no turning back.
- Just bring my little girl some justice.
- You guys got your work cut out for you,
dealing with all these cliques, huh?
so what do you got for us?
- Uh, rebecca's murder wasn't a typical
"mutual combatant" killing.
It was an innocent girl new to the city.
So the mayor's office gave us a directive
to saturate the area.
- And you guys like omar fry for it?
Ah, well, we did at first.
He's a banger with a ton of priors.
He was recorded on a security camera
at a corner store buying a tallboy,
where rebecca had purchased a bottle of water
