Chicago Justice

Who would store their stuff here?

This dump couldn't cover my taxes.

Oi! My beetles!

Sir, sir, when we're done here, you can get your car.

No car. Beetles.

Fighter beetle!

Ugh.

John, Paul, George and disgusting.

You can claim your possessions tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

The building has been seized under civil asset forfeiture.

Sir, over here!

- Watch this guy. - Okay.

Yeah?

Oh.

The unit was leased to a Nicky Neele.

- Sure, that sounds real. - Yeah, as real as the address.

There is no 721 Broad Street.

And paid cash up front for five years.

Looks like Nicky didn't want any company.

Cause of death could have been blunt force trauma

or the slicing and dicing.

Blunt force trauma from something like this?

I'd say that's a possible murder weapon.

Whatever did the cutting was short but sharp.

I'm thinking that box cutter.

- How long was she in there? - Given the weather,

size of the maggots,

eh, four or five days.

I'll know more after the autopsy.

I'll send my report to PD.

We started it, we're keeping it.

Yeah.

Hey, where's the baby?

What baby?

This lady was very pregnant.

Baby could've survived that?

Wouldn't be the first time.

If the baby was dead,

the killer would have left it here.

CPD's checking every hospital, urgent care,

- and adoption agency. - What about suspected

- baby traffickers? - It's a full court press.

- Afternoon. - Hi.

Why do we always get the gruesome ones?

Has the ME determined a date of death yet?

Report just came back.

She confirmed it as five days ago.

Apparently, maggots are nature's stopwatch.

The woman who rented the locker...

Wait, we don't know it's a woman.

Well, call me heteronormal,

statistically, this is a woman's crime.

There were no useable prints from the bat...

Too much overlap... But they're running DNA

from the crime scene.

Did you ID the victim?

Prints weren't in the system.

The killer went through her purse, took her wallet,

but missed a side pocket.

That's her public transit card.

It was probably there for easy access.

She used it constantly.

Where was she going?

North Clybourn, Pulaski, Hyde Park, Midway.

- Back and forth. No pattern. - Who bought the card?

Company called Travel Trainers.

Get on it.

We restore some autonomy for people disabilities.

Navigating the city's transportation

is daunting for me.

Imagine what it's like for somebody

with developmental challenges.

This is Julia's card.

I like Julia.

- Who's Julia? - Keys.

She was one of our best aides.

- Was? - She started maternity leave

last week but, um, she was upset when she left.

We only offer the state minimum, four weeks.

I get that she wanted more, but I can't afford it.

Did you call to see if it was a girl or a boy?

- I tried. No answer. - Husband?

Julia wasn't married. She mentioned something about

moving to Canada where she had family,

but she never came back to pick up her things.

Mm.

Will you let us know if she's okay?

Is it okay to look around her desk?

Of course. That's it.

Due date's today.

During my whole pregnancy, it never really registered

that in the end I would have a baby.

Yeah, well, me and the nightmare always thought

we'd have more time to get ready.

Every morning before work,

I would go to Norma's and order breakfast,

read the paper.

You know, eventually, I'm out to here,

but I still sit at a table for one.

8 1/2 months in, it finally registers.

Thing that was never gonna happen was happening.

- Life was about to be... - Crazy?

Yeah. I was gonna need a bigger table.

She was killed here.

She went to yoga that morning.

Looks like her routine every Tuesday and Thursday.

There's gotta be, like, ten yoga studios around here.

Well, not many of them are named Lotus Focus.

Are you expecting? I sense your root chakra

is out of balance.

Uh, my root chakra's fine.

We're here about Julia Keys.

A lovely soul. Is she okay?

When was the last time you saw her?

Last week. Last Thursday. Why?

He kicked the entire class.

Oh, did I tell you?

She friends with any of them?

All of them.

It's our Oh, Baby! class.

- Oh. -

I'd lose my balance, and she was, like,

right there to steady me.

I mean, like, literally.

She was the most helpful person I've ever met.

Did she mention anything unusually stressful in her life?

You mean besides being nine months pregnant

and about to be a single mom?

- Thanks to her jerk boyfriend. - Ex boyfriend.

He's who you should be talking to.

Large Marge, you guys were close.

What was Julia's boyfriend's name?

Gosh, I have no idea.

- Marge, do you know... -

We just call her that 'cause she's so big.

She's Dawn. I'm Little Lentil.

Baker, Bun in the Oven, Double Bubble, Pumpkin.

Brian. No, Ryan.

Ryan Mathis, like Johnny.

Thank you.

- Yeah? - We're from

the State's Attorney's Office, looking for Ryan Mathis.

Ryan?

- Ryan? - Yeah? What's up?

They're from the State's Attorney's Office.

What happened to your leg?

I fell off a roof. Hazards of being a roofer.

- What's going on? - What was your relationship

- to Julia Keys? - Mm, that's his bitch ex.

Amber!

Uh, we use to go out. Why?

When's the last time you saw her?

Six, seven months ago.

- She... - Dumped him.

- Yeah? Why? - Out of the blue,

she stopped returning my phone calls.

I go to her place, she'd only talk to me through the door.

Said it wasn't gonna work out.

No phone calls? What about emails? Texts?

Nothing. I mean, we had our arguments, you know,

but nothing serious.

And overnight, she...

I just figured she found somebody else.

- Whore. - Will you shut up?

Is she in trouble?

- - Yeah?

DNA from the Julia Keys murder.

Tell Antonio and Nagel.

J.P. in the lab said you'd wanna know.

- Why? - There were two samples.

The first was Julia Keys, obviously.

The second was from someone named David Zachariah.

That's impossible.

David Zachariah is a serial killer.

He was my first high-profile case.

Eight years ago, I put him away for life.

The victims of David Zachariah.

For ten years, young women were going missing.

He posed as Wi-Fi repair.

Once inside, he drugged them and drive them

to the middle of nowhere, kill them,

have sex with the corpse and bury it.

Oh.

Ten women in all.

We couldn't find any of the bodies until a hiker and his dog

found a hand sticking out of the ground.

We matched DNA from a crease in her ear to Zachariah.

Alice White.

Her dad sat in our lobby for months

while we tried to work out a deal.

You let Zachariah plead down?

I was thinking of the other families.

Not knowing if their missing daughters were dead or alive,

it ground them down.

Some of the parents held mock funerals to help them cope.

- Did it help? - Losing a child,

I doubt even a real funeral works.

Zachariah plead to murdering Alice White.

And I traded the death penalty

for the location of his other victims.
