Chicago P.D.

Crime stats are much higher than we would like,

but we are very proud of the progress we've made

in the past ten months.

Newly hired officers now reflect the faces

of the districts they patrol.

Community policing is in place,

and the neighborhoods are responding in a positive way.

Look, we know change isn't easy,

but we are dedicated to transparency

and rule of law, and we will persevere.

Thank you.

Deputy Miller, Deputy Miller! Deputy Miller.

Five officers have recently been suspended or fired

due to police misconduct. How is that progress?

You just said it.

They've been suspended or fired.

It means we're paying attention,

and we're holding people accountable.

They are part of a culture that will no longer be tolerated.

As a result of this misconduct,

several violent offenders have recently been exonerated.

I'm talking about murderers, rapists.

What do you say to the victims and their families?

I say justice will prevail in the end...

And that we must solve crimes the right way.

The legal way.

Change isn't always easy or pretty,

but that doesn't mean it's not necessary.

Units in the 13th District,

we're getting calls of a man shot.

4100 block of South Wallace.

CFD has been notified and is en route.

5021, hold me down responding to the Wallace call.

- I'm three blocks out. - Copy that.

Hey, step back.

Why don't you guys wait over there?

I'm Sergeant Voight, and I can help you.

Help's on the way. All right.

I'm gonna put pressure on the wound.

Can you tell me what happened?

- He shot me. - The bastard shot me.

Okay, who shot you?

- Quick Route driver. - All right.

Picked us up, then started driving.

- Okay. - He told me to get out.

He's got my wife. You gotta help her.

He's driving a black Ford Fusion.

Where'd you get picked up?

- 31st. - 31st.

31st...

Hey, hey, stay with me.

What's your name?

- Ben. - Ben, all right.

Hang in there, Ben. The ambulance is here.

Can you tell me what the driver looked like?

Black Ford Fusion.

Okay. Let me see.

It'll be okay.

5021, emergency.

Suspect in recent shooting

is fleeing westbound in a black Ford Fusion.

Advise responding units to exercise extreme caution.

Gunshot victim's wife is in the vehicle,

appears to have been abducted.

Copy that.

So the woman abducted is his wife, Jessica Larson.

I want an ASA on board now. This could move fast.

- I'm on it, Sarge. - We're pulling video.

Hopefully, we'll get enough for facial rec.

Got it. All right.

So where we at on phones?

Ben's is locked, the wife's is off,

but we're working with Quick Route

to help us locate the vehicle.

I got a list of all the pickups

in the last 30 minutes in the immediate area.

Just focus on a black Ford Fusion,

about 7:15 on or about 31st and Dearborn.

Fusion, copy that. Running that account.

All right, run that plate by me.

Paul Victor Boy 27 David William.

Stand by. Stand by.

We're looking for a Jonathan Eakin.

DOB 14 January 1989.

All right, yeah, I got him. I got him.

Jonathan Eakin. One prior for drug possession.

- Yeah. - Let's find this guy.

Any updates?

Quick Route's tech's still saying he's on this block.

There he is.

Sarge, we got a positive on the vehicle.

He's heading south on Dempsey. Ruz, you copy?

Copy that. We're coming around.

Copy. On my way.

Chicago PD! Let me see your hands.

Nice and slow.

Reach for the door and step out of the car.

Step out of the vehicle.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Step back. On your knees, on your knees!

What did I do?

Car's clear!

Trunk's empty!

We wanna know about your pickup, 7:15.

Jessica Larson. Where is she?

Larson? Who?

Wait, wait. Larson?

She was a no-show. I one-starred her ass.

- Check my phone. - Let me see.

- It's right there, see? - "Customers not at pickup."

I've never seen her before in my life, I swear to God.

- Bring him in. - I didn't do anything.

Then you got nothing to worry about.

Keep digging. She's still out there.

Morning.

Sarge, the Quick Route driver's story checked out.

He was 20 blocks away when the abduction happened,

so we kicked him. Any word on the gunshot victim?

Except him to make a full recovery.

Med's gonna notify us as soon as he's stable.

POD video from 31st and Dearborn just came in.

That's where Ben and his wife were picked up.

All right, 7:12,

Larsons exit the restaurant.

Now they're waiting for their Quick Route.

Hold on.

They're expecting a black Fusion.

That is a black Honda. They look almost identical...

- Freeze it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Run the plate. - All right.

Illinois plates. John X-ray 72 Paul nine.

It's registered to a Luna Witt.

She's 55, reported it stolen yesterday.

Here we go. LEADS posted

that Patrol recovered the vehicle

in Haywood Park.

Come on. Jay, Hailey, you're with me.

Hey, car was empty.

Surprise, surprise, the fire was intentional.

They doused the inside with lighter fluid.

Right, thanks, Bos.

All right, notify the others.

We're gonna conduct a grid search.

- PODs, cameras, do the drill. - Upton.

Sarge, it's CPIC. Hold on a sec.

I'm gonna put you on speaker. Go ahead.

The provider just sent over the dump

on Jess Larson's phone. You guys should be looking

at the 2500 block of West Howard.

That's close. Let's go.

All right. We're headed there now, thanks.

This is the only building in the 2500 block.

- We got a way in. - Let's go.

Sarge.

Jay, we got her. It's a recovery, not a rescue.

Excellent.

- Sarge. - Anything?

So far, nothing actionable from the body.

The rape kit's being rushed.

There's no fingerprints on the scene.

They think he used a condom.

Cause of death is strangulation.

But she fought back.

There's plenty of defensive wounds.

Her fingernails are ripped off, broken.

They're conducting the scrapings now.

Hopefully, we'll get DNA.

Okay, so what do we know about this place?

All right, well, the company that owns the building

says it's used for heavy equipment storage,

and it's empty most of the time.

We got tire tracks that are consistent

with the size of our burnt down Honda.

Found pretty good blind spot,

parked away from all the damn cameras.

It worked. I got into the security area.

I got nothing on surveillance inside or out.

So this prick knows this place.

Yeah, he most certainly does.

He worked there for six months in 2015.

What are you talking about?

I pulled CTA footage from where the Honda was stolen.

There's no footage of the steal,

but I noticed a guy walking out of a minimart a block away.

That right there is Caleb Hoff.

- He looks familiar. - He should.

He just sued the city for 25 mil.

Yeah, I know this guy. Wrongful arrest.

He was serving 20 to life for rape and murder.

The Conviction Integrity Unit looked into his case.

Next thing you know, the arresting detective

gets charged with unlawful use of force,

and Hoff walked free three weeks ago

- with an apology from the mayor. - Okay.

We're gonna do this one right. By the book.

Who knows? Maybe Hoff has bad luck,

lives in the area, was just buying milk.

Come on, Sarge. You really believe that?

No, but it doesn't change the game plan.

- That's him. - And you're sure?
