The first 200 lines.
- Good? - Yeah, I think so.
Mm. You still coming tonight?
- Yeah, I gotta see this spare room.
So listen, I think I'm gonna go for, like,
a real glacial move-in.
- Sure. You know, if some of your stuff doesn't make it
over to my place, like, say your collection
of stolen beer steins, totally fine.
Oh, I see what's up.
- Totally fine. - Message received.
See, look at us communicating.
Working things out. Modern roommate parenting
at its finest. They said it couldn't be done.
Is "they" your dad?
- Yes. - I think it'll be good.
You'll be there when the baby comes, it's good.
Yeah, okay.
I'll see you later. - Okay.
- Good-bye, little rice grain baby.
- It's the size of a navel orange now.
- Yeah, well, I'm not gonna say that.
- Get outta here. - Have a good day, you two.
Bye.
- 911, what's your emergency? - Hi, yes, um...
I was in a car accident. Everyone's okay,
but the car's blocking traffic.
911, what's your emergency?
911, what's your emergency? Okay, ma'am.
We're still gonna get the fire department out
to check on that alarm, all right?
So just sit tight.
911, what's your emergency?
- Hello? 911, can you hear me?
- 911, what's your emergency? - Help me.
Okay, ma'am, where are you?
Can you tell me what's going on?
- Please help. - Yes, I'm here to help you.
Can you tell me what's happening?
- Ma'am, is someone there with you?
Are you unable to speak?
Okay, it's okay, I'm gonna track your address
right now and send you some help, all right?
Don't talk if you're not able to.
I am here with you, I'm not going anywhere.
I've got officers coming your way.
Just hang on, help is coming.
Just hang on, I'm here with you.
Hello?
Hello?
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come on.
911, what's your emergency?
Okay, ma'am, what's your location?
"19-Paul, no police service."
- Back already? All your old buddies are gone.
No action to siphon. - Okay.
I'm actually here to see two of your officers.
Um, O'Malley and Jeffries.
Jeffries, O'Malley, this is Officer Burgess.
- Hey. - With Intelligence?
- Yeah, I'm on light duty at the moment.
Call-taker at OEMC.
I actually saw that you guys responded to a 911 call
I answered, 322 South Aberdeen, West Loop.
- Yeah, sure. - Yeah?
Okay, I was just wondering, why 19-Paul?
- We talked to the husband and wife who live there.
Wife said it was an accidental 911 call.
Nothing to report. - She said it was accidental?
Okay, um, did you suspect domestic violence, or--
No, ma'am, no signs of abuse.
- Did you interview them separately, or--
- Hey, what is this? - I'm sorry.
I'm not checking up on you, I just--
- Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
Implying we just blew off our job?
- I apologize, it's really not my intention.
- Yeah. Look, I get it.
You're pulling light duty 'cause you're pregnant, right?
Mothering hormones plus boredom.
I'd start seeing victims everywhere too.
There was nothing there.
Husband and wife seemed happy,
uh, no signs of anything wrong.
We did our jobs, then we left.
That's it.
- Oh, no. Uh-uh. Wouldn't do that.
You're light duty. You can't be doing follow-ups.
- Then I take it you're coming with me?
- Okay, the condo the 911 call came from is 3B,
owned by George Weller and Ann Weller.
Are you coming?
He's got no priors on either, and no kids.
George Weller? Chicago PD.
George Weller, Chicago PD.
Okay.
That works too.
Blood.
Crossing.
More blood. Chicago PD!
- I'm all clear here. - Yeah, me too.
Got signs of sex and violence in the master.
There's blood, there's urine.
- Well, something happened here.
2102 Squad. - Go, 2102.
- Roll a couple units and the mobile lab
to 322 South Aberdeen.
Hold me down securing a crime scene.
- Hello? - 10-4.
Is everything okay?
That couple fights all the time.
- Okay, have you seen them this morning?
- No, I haven't. I've been inside.
What is up with this elevator?
- Do you hear? - Yeah.
Uh-uh.
- So what do we got? - What we got is no idea.
I got the call at dispatch.
Woman calling from inside the condo,
asking for help.
Patrol responded,
interviewed the husband and wife.
We followed up,
We found the husband dead downstairs.
- And all this happened between the hours of your initial
and the follow-up? - Yeah, patrol saw no signs
of disturbance. - Door was unlocked
when we got here, signs of a struggle inside.
Lots of blood trail. - Oh, yeah.
Someone took a heavy beating in that master bathroom.
Husband?
- I don't know. I think the wife.
The landline was in the bathroom.
I'm thinking she took a beating, called me,
then killed the husband, but it's miles away
from confirmation. - There's no cameras
in the building, and no witnesses so far.
- All right, let's start with trying to locate the wife, huh?
You got it.
There are our guys.
- Come on. Hey.
- Sarge, this makes no sense. - Okay.
We were here a few hours ago.
If something had felt wrong, we wouldn't have left.
- Listen, you can't always see these things coming.
What I wanna know is, did you guys go inside the apartment?
- No, we spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Weller at the door.
- Huh. - They were happy, laughing.
I mean, there were zero reasons to go inside.
- Did you see anyone around when you entered the building?
- Is that-- can I see that file?
Yeah.
- This isn't-- - What's going on?
- This isn't the woman we spoke to.
- That's Ann Weller's current DMV photo.
- The woman we spoke to was younger.
She was a brunette.
She said her name was Ann Weller,
that she was his wife.
I mean, we had no reason to question that.
Should we get our FOP lawyers here?
- Give me a break. - If that's your first question
right now, yeah, I'd probably give them a call.
So what made you do the initial follow-up?
- I don't know, just a feeling, I guess.
I heard it in her voice.
Good.
- So if they didn't talk to Ann Weller,
who did they talk to?
Hey.
Well, you caught a weird one.
George Weller here died where he lies.
Looks like a fight happened in the elevator.
Got blood splatter, signs of a struggle,
self-defense wounds,
multiple lacerations in the stomach.
Killer rode down with him, I'm thinking.
- So can anyone access this garage?
No, you need a remote.
George didn't have his,
we checked his car and his crib.
Pockets are empty, no cell, no wallet.
- We think the killer robbed him.
Jay has Ann Weller right now.
He's taking her to the district.
She's been at work all day.
Good, keep working the scene.
Pull any forensics you can.
- Sarge? - Yeah?
- It okay if I work the case with you?
I'll ride the desk the whole time.
- Ah, your instincts caught it, you should work it.
I don't understand.
My husband, he was supposed to be at work.
I know this is hard,
but it's important that we ask you
these questions right away.
A woman called 911 from your condo.
When patrol showed up, the woman was with George,
