Van
Ruzek: You think there's a kid in Kenny's crew that's over the age of 17?
Atwater: More like 15. Yo, we got eyes on our boys on the block, if y'all are ready.
Halstead’s car / street
Upton: Copy. Shutting down now.
Malik: This one mine.
Upton: What's up, Malik?
Malik: What's up, girl? Looking fine, as usual.
Halstead: You know she's with me, right?
Malik: Yeah, for now, son. For now.
Upton: All right, all right.
Malik: All right, so what you all need? The usual?
Upton: Actually, we need a little extra today. We have friends up in Lakeview that had a taste of the good stuff, want a little more.
Malik: How much extra weight we talking?
Halstead: 100 grams.
Malik: I don't usually carry that much product on me, so I'm a need to do a little wheelin' and dealin'. We talking straight packed or powder?
Halstead: Oh, packed up for sure.
Malik: Okay, I can make that happen. Meet me at Division Street, One Stop parking lot, at 4:00 p.m.
Halstead: All right.
Upton: We can make that happen.
Malik: And look, feel free to come solo, baby.
Halstead: Hey, I heard that.
Malik: Yeah, it was meant for you to hear.
Halstead: Watch yourself. We'll see you later.
Van
Ruzek: All right, kid took the bait.
Atwater: Downside to using child labor: inexperienced.
Halstead’s car
Halstead: It's 5:00.
Upton: For a dealer, being an hour late is actually considered early.
Halstead: You guys got anything?
Ruzek’s car
Atwater: Nothing so far.
Ruzek: Should've had Upton do the deal alone. Kid's got eyes for her.
Halstead’s car
Dispatch: Units in 21, we're getting multiple calls of shots fired at 3852 South on Wells.
Ruzek’s car
Atwater: Jay, did you hear that? We just got a call over the zone. Shots fired two blocks away. We're gonna take it.
3852 South on Wells
Ruzek: This is the site here.
Atwater: How we look, Ruz?
Ruzek: We're good. We're good.
Atwater: Body… Hold on. Call it in!
Ruzek: 5021 Ida. Roll an ambulance.
Atwater: Hang on, bro. Okay? Hang on. Help is coming. Malik. Malik! Malik! Ain't got a pulse. He's gone… Just a dumb kid, man.
Later
Ruzek: Kid took two to the chest. Found two nine-millimeter rounds right next to the body.
Voight: Signs of a struggle?
Atwater: No, just took two and dropped right where he stood.
Voight: Weapon?
Ruzek: Nothing recovered so far.
Atwater: Been doing surveillance on this block for weeks. This is a known re-up spot for Kenny's corner boys.
Ruzek: DOA was actually a kid we were supposed to meet up with tonight.
Voight: All right, so the kid asks for more weight. Kenny gets spooked that he might be snitching, so he shoots him.
Upton: We have two witnesses that saw a boy running away from the construction site moments after the shots were fired.
Halstead: And the physical description matches Nathan, Malik's sidekick.
Ruzek: Well, maybe he's the shooter.
Atwater: Or he's a friend that saw the shooter and he ran like hell.
Voight: Well, either way, he's our only lead, so let's find him fast.
Intelligence office
Burgess: Nathan Hawkins, 15 years old. Dropped out of school a year ago to start slinging dope for Kenny Armstrong.
Dawson: Yeah, he has one arrest on his record. It's for a delivery charge three months ago.
Voight: Any idea where he might be hanging out?
Halstead: His last known address was his mom's apartment in Austin but she OD'd a year ago around the time he started dealing.
Voight: Okay, father?
Upton: Uh, been behind bars for the last decade.
Ruzek: Who bailed him out when he got busted?
Dawson: That would be Sarah Washington, Nathan's aunt.
Voight: All right, so find an address. Check it out.
Dawson: Hey, Dr. Appelbaum, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Look, uh, I was hoping you could call me in a refill. I ran out, and my shoulder's still killing me… What? Eight days? No, no, no, no, no. That's not gonna work. I need more tonight.
Sarah Washington’s front door
Atwater: How you doing, ma'am? I'm Officer Atwater. This is Officer Ruzek. Are you Sarah Washington?
Sarah Washington: What y'all boys need?
Atwater: We're looking for your nephew, Nathan Hawkins. Does he live here?
Sarah Washington: He does, but he's not home.
Ruzek: When was the last time you saw him?
Sarah Washington: This morning.
Atwater: Okay, would you mind if we took a look around his room?
Sarah Washington: Y'all got five minutes.
Ruzek: Yes, ma'am.
Sarah Washington: Down the hall… In the back.
Nathan Hawkins’s bedroom
Ruzek: Man, dude. Look at this place. No wonder kids like Nathan end up working for guys like Kenny.
Atwater: Mom's dead, dad locked up… Working those corners is probably the most stable thing in that boy's life.
Ruzek: Ah, there's a POD camera across the street… Maybe something from that, yeah?
21 District: back office
Atwater: Okay, there's Nathan.
Ruzek: All right, so that's time-stamped 5:45, 45 minutes after Malik was killed. Let's keep going.
Atwater: Okay.
Ruzek: Freeze right there. There's Nathan right there. Passenger side window.
Atwater: Yeah. Who's she?
Ruzek: Where's she going? Okay, bro, let's see if we can get facial rec on the driver.
Front door
Ruzek: Check around back?
Atwater: Yeah.
Alley
Laila Davis: Back the hell up now!
Ruzek: Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Atwater: Hey, hey! What are you doing?
Ruzek: Yo, we're CPD. We're CPD.
Atwater: Put that gun down.
Laila Davis: Let me see your badge.
Atwater: Okay, I'll show you the badge, but I need you to put that gun down.
Laila Davis: I will when you show me your badge.
Atwater: There it is right there. You see that? We are cops, okay? Put the gun down.
Ruzek: Now, you leave that gun inside. You meet us out front. All right? Right now.
Laila Davis: Yeah.
Street
Ruzek: Get your hands out of your pockets and come here. Come right here. Keep 'em up. What the hell is wrong with you? Pull a gun on the cops?
Laila Davis: Well, how the hell was I supposed to know? It's not like you sent a résumé ahead of time. All I saw was two dudes walking up on my house. Is this necessary?
Ruzek: Yeah, you just pulled a gun on us. All right? Is it registered?
Laila Davis: It sure is, and I can show you the permit.
Atwater: Okay. Do you know anybody by the name of Nathan Hawkins?
Laila Davis: Yeah.
Atwater: When was the last time you saw him?
Laila Davis: I don't know. Two, three weeks ago.
Atwater: Wrong answer.
Ruzek: Next wrong answer, we're gonna bring you in, and we're gonna start writing up paper.
Atwater: Last chance, Laila.
Laila Davis: Why the hell do you know my name?
Ruzek: Because you are a suspect in a murder investigation. That's why we know your name.
Laila Davis: What the hell are you talking about?
Atwater: We're talking about how we have a video of you and Nathan Hawkins riding in your car... This car... This afternoon.
Laila Davis: No, I think you got the wrong person.
Atwater: I think we should bring her in.
Laila Davis: Why? What'd I do?
Ruzek: What'd you do? You helped your friend Kenny Armstrong kill Nathan Hawkins.
Laila Davis: You think I'd kill Nathan?
Atwater: Then prove us wrong, Laila. Where is he?
Nathan Hawkins: He's right here.
Atwater: Nathan.
Nathan Hawkins: You guys got it all wrong, all right? Laila's not trying to kill me, all right? She's trying to help me.
Interview room
Nathan Hawkins: Man, I ain't saying nothing to y'all.
Ruzek: Not gonna say anything? Ling. Come on, man, what happened? You and Malik, you get into an argument? He steal from you? He screw your girlfriend?
Nathan Hawkins: What? Man, not even close. Okay? Malik was my boy. All right? We were tight. I'd never hurt him, man. Never.
Atwater: Okay, you didn't do it. Who did, Nathan?
Nathan Hawkins: Don't know.
Atwater: Look, we all know what's going on here, okay? We know that Malik asked Kenny for some more weight. So Kenny thought that Malik was snitching, so he killed him.
Ruzek: He thinks you are too. Right? Thinks you're snitching?
Nathan Hawkins: But I'm not. Malik wouldn't either.
Ruzek: Doesn't matter, if Kenny thinks you are.
Atwater: Kenny thinks you are, he's gonna kill you too.
Ruzek: Look, Nathan… Look at me for a second. That's why you went to Laila's, right? That's why you went to Laila's. You were looking for a place to hide out. Look, bro, we just need your help. Okay, we don't care that you sell drugs. We don't care, bro. Not at all. We just need to know if you saw who did the murder. That's all.
Nathan Hawkins: I didn't.
Ruzek: Don't lie to me.
Nathan Hawkins: Man, I'm not.
Interview room
Halstead: Did Nathan see who shot Malik?
Laila Davis: No, but he knows it was Kenny. Hell, my five-year-old niece knows it's Kenny.
Upton: Okay, so let me get this straight. You run with Kenny Armstrong, but at the same time, you protect kids from getting shot by him?
Laila Davis: I don't run with Kenny or anybody else. Now, we used to be a thing, but I've been out the game for nine years. I haven't gotten as much as a parking ticket. So don't lump me up with Kenny or any other punk-ass gangbanger I grew up with.
Upton: Why the change?
Laila: I grew up. That's why… We all make mistakes when we're young… Even you, Detective.
Observation room
Ruzek: She's a tough chick.
Atwater: Yeah. Smart too. Nathan's lucky to have her in his life.
Voight: Yeah, we'll see about that. Come on, Kev. You and me.
Atwater: You and me what?
Voight: Come on.
Interview room
Voight: All right, Ms. Davis. You're free to go.
Laila Davis: Okay, good. Now, what about Nathan? Can I take him home too?
Voight: We're charging him with heroin distribution.
Laila Davis: What? Heroin distribution for slinging dime bags on the corner?
Voight: Well, if he agrees to cooperate in the murder case, we might be able to cut him a break.
Laila Davis: But he didn't see anything.
Voight: Well, that doesn't mean he can't wear a wire.
Laila Davis: That boy has a target on his back the size of Soldier Field and you want him to wear a wire? Kenny will kill his ass in ten seconds flat.
Voight: Well, God doesn't give with both hands.
Laila Davis: Nathan is a good boy. He is a scared-ass little kid with no place to go, and it is your job to help him.
Voight: Listen, it's my job to arrest Malik's killer, Kenny Armstrong, your ex-boyfriend. Right now, Nathan is my best shot at doing that.
Atwater: Introduce me to Kenny… Right? We know his crew meets at his crib. Find a way to get me in there… So I can plant the wire.
Laila Davis: Okay, then you gotta promise me that you're gonna get Nathan out of Chicago fast.
Voight: Deal.
Motel room
Officer: I got you, man. All right.
Atwater: You ain't gonna be here too long. Long as it takes for us to find somebody to take you in. You got anybody we can reach out to outside the state? Anywhere you wanna go?
Nathan Hawkins: No, I'm not interested in leaving.
Atwater: Hey, come on, man. I dig it… Listen, man, I get it. Moving is rough, but you might actually like a new city… My little brother had to relocate to Texas. He wasn't feeling it at first. Digs it now.
Nathan Hawkins: My cousin… He's older. He lives in Atlanta. I ain't seen him in a while, but he's always been nice to me.
Atwater: Okay. Track cuz down. All right.
Nathan Hawkins: Thanks. Yo, you leavin'?
Atwater: Yeah, man, I gotta get to a birthday party… But you're all set. We got a police officer at the door. They got you… You're good.
Street
Atwater: How you feel?
Laila Davis: I'm cool.
Atwater: Cool? Good. So what's this, a first date?
Laila Davis: First date? To a 60-year-old's birthday party? No, I don't think so.
Atwater: Okay, a few months, then.
Laila Davis: Make it look real, right?
Yard
Mother: Laila, good to see you, baby. So glad you're here to help me celebrate.
Kenny Armstrong: Look at you, girl. Damn, just as beautiful as ever.
Laila Davis: Hey, Kenny.
Kenny Armstrong: Thanks for coming.
Laila Davis: Yeah.
Kenny Armstrong: You know Mama always liked you more than me.
Laila Davis: Yeah. Hey, y'all. This is my friend Keith.
Kenny Armstrong: Hey, what's good, man?
Atwater: Nothing much.
Kenny Armstrong: Make sure y'all go and get some of that pork, you know? I brought it in from St. Louis.
Atwater: I actually like how that cobbler looks.
Mother: Best peach cobbler in the city.
Atwater: You kidding.
Mother: Better get inside before it's all gone.
Atwater: Okay, I can do that. You need anything?
Laila Davis: Mm-mm.
Atwater: All right. Happy birthday, Mama.
Mother: Thank you, baby.
Basement / Van
Dawson: How's it going in there?
Atwater: Pretty good. Found Kenny's man cave. Seems like a good place to do some talking. Okay.
Yard
Kenny Armstrong: Wait. I'll be right back.
Woman: Cool. All right.
Kenny Armstrong: Hey. It's been a while, Laila. Thought you were trying to avoid me.
Laila Davis: Just been busy, you know, down at the center.
Kenny Armstrong: Yeah, I heard about that. Yeah, you working with the kids, right?
Laila Davis: Mm-hmm.
Kenny Armstrong: You know, I got a lot of respect for that. How 'bout I make a donation to the cause, you know?
Laila Davis: No. No, I'm cool… No offense. I just wanna keep this thing legit.
Kenny Armstrong: Yeah, the choice is yours.
Laila Davis: But thanks for offering.
Kenny Armstrong: Hey, yo, Marlo.
Marlo: Yo.
Kenny Armstrong: Yo, keep these fools out of my basement.
Marlo: Yeah, all right.
Laila Davis: Mama, I'm gonna grab a drink. Can I get you something?
Mother: I'm good, sweetie.
Laila Davis: Okay.
Basement / Van
Atwater: Okay, let me know when you got a visual.
Dawson: We've got eyes.
Marlo: Who the hell are you?
Atwater: Hey, uh... Let's not get worked up, okay?
Marlo: What you doing down here?
Basement
Atwater: I got lost.
Marlo: You got lost?
Atwater: Let me get back to the party.
Kenny Armstrong: All right. Come on, fellas. There's no need to play Two, three, fwith guns, okay?
Marlo: I said, what you doing down here?
Atwater: I told you, I was looking around and I got lost, okay?
Kenny Armstrong: Nah, bro. You see, I just met you… And the way I see things, man, that just don't feel right.
Van
Burgess: We gotta get in there now.
Dawson: Okay, wait. Give him a sec. He still hasn't used the safe word.
Basement
Atwater: I understand that, Kenny. Okay? I should have asked your permission first. I didn't mean no disrespect, man.
Kenny Armstrong: Yeah, you should've. So I'm ask you one more time. Why you down here, Keith?
Atwater: Laila told me about your '96 ball, man. '96 Bulls, come on, that's my favorite team of all time. I had...
Laila Davis: Baby, that you?
Atwater: Yeah.
Laila Davis: Where the hell you been?
Atwater: Down here talking to Kenny. That's all.
Laila Davis: What's going on? Why's he got a gun in his hand?
Kenny Armstrong: We're here chatting with your new man.
Laila Davis: Put the gun away before you hurt someone.
Atwater: Hey, listen. It's okay, baby. Hey. It was just a misunderstanding, that's all. I should have asked for permission first.
Laila Davis: Permission to do what?
Atwater: Check out his '96 ball.
Laila Davis: You left a party to come look at that crap? You crazy? I knew I shouldn't have told you about this ball. Come on, let's go get...
Kenny Armstrong: No, no, no, no, not yet.
Laila Davis: What you mean, "not yet"?
Kenny Armstrong: You ain't never been down here before. And I just got that ball last week. Which means the two of y'all are lying about something. How you know about this, Laila?
Laila Davis: How you think? Your mama… She always joking about how stupid you are spending all your money on this nonsense… Go ask her… Come on, let's go ask her. Let's go ruin her party...
Kenny Armstrong: No, no…
Laila Davis: About this crap.
Kenny Armstrong: Not yet. Not yet. Yeah… I'm sorry. It's just a big misunderstanding, you know? Hey, go on. Get out of here. Go enjoy the party.
Intelligence: lounge room
Atwater: Hey… You're good to go. Thank you, and appreciate you for helping me out back there. It means a lot.
Laila Davis: Sure thing.
Atwater: No, seriously. If that charity thing doesn't work out for you, you should think about a future here.
Laila Davis: Let's not get carried away.
Atwater: Okay, I understand. But real quick. We were rapping with Nathan's cousin down in Atlanta, and he's got two kids. He's a little worried that Nathan's problems are gonna follow him down there. So do you know of any other family that Nathan has outside of Chicago we can send that boy to?
Laila Davis: Um... He's got a grandma down in New Orleans.
Atwater: Grandma in New Orleans. We will track her down. We're gonna do everything in our power to make sure that Nathan gets out of here, okay? You got my word on that.
Laila Davis: If you say so.
Atwater: What? You don't... You don't trust me?
Laila Davis: I don't trust anybody, let alone a smooth-talking cop.
Atwater: Well, you obviously don't know me too well.
Laila Davis: You're right. I don't… So why don't you buy me a drink and let me know who you really are?
Pub
Atwater: Okay, here we go. Glass of water. Shot of Hennessy… I see you into that hard stuff, huh?
Laila Davis: I'm not wasting calories on that fruity crap… Or a Heineken.
Atwater: What?
Laila Davis: Straight up, you've been around them white boys too long.
Atwater: Uh-uh, don't do that, Ms. West Side.
Laila Davis: That is just like a cop.
Atwater: Always gotta put a label on somebody.
Laila Davis: Well, obviously sometimes those labels fit.
Atwater: Sometimes they don't…
Laila Davis: So tell me, Kevin.
Atwater: Mm-hmm?
Laila Davis: How does a good-looking brother like you raise his hand and say, "I wanna be a cop"... And in Chicago, no less?
Atwater: My pops got locked up early… And I didn't wanna go out like that. So in order to make a difference, I decided to do some good in my community.
Laila Davis: I like that.
Atwater: Yeah, that's not too corny for you?
Laila Davis: No, that's corny as hell… But it's honest.
21 District: back office
Burgess: What's that?
Dawson: It's, uh, aspirin… Mm. These all-nighters are tough.
Burgess: Yeah.
Dawson: I'm getting a headache staring at this monitor. Guess I'm not as young as I used to be.
Burgess: Well, this isn't gonna help. Decaf. All they had left.
Dawson: Decaf at 3:00 a.m.? What's the point?
Burgess: I know, right?
Dawson: Ugh.
Burgess: Finally.
Video
Kenny Armstrong: Hey, anybody put eyes on Nathan?
Marlo: No, not yet.
Kenny Armstrong: Well, y'all put a tap on the wire, get it out to his peeps. If anybody knows something or anything, you bring his ass down to the EP, all right?
Burgess: You get that? What'd he say, "EP"?
Dawson: That's what I heard too.
Burgess: Yeah.
Dawson: Let's get a warrant.
Laila Davis’s bedroom
Atwater: Hey.
Laila Davis: Hey there.
Atwater: Yeah, I can dig waking up to this face.
Laila Davis: Well, look, Kevin. I had fun and all, but...
Atwater: But what?
Laila Davis: I'm just playing.
Atwater: You play too damn rough for me.
Laila Davis: Mm. Well, so do you.
Atwater: I gotta go.
Laila Davis: Mm!
Atwater: Mm, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
Laila Davis: It's okay… Sort of.
Atwater: Listen, let's rain check round two.
Laila Davis: See? Yeah, you have been with those white boys too long.
Atwater: Well, I could come to your place a little bit later, finish what we started.
Laila Davis: That's better. And the answer is yes.
EP
Dawson: Chicago PD! Listen up, we have a warrant to search this establishment. Hey, hands in the air. Get 'em where I can see you. Get 'em up.
Kenny Armstrong: Warrant? Based on what?
Dawson: Based on we have a warrant. Now, everyone get up. Move with your hands up against that wall.
Ruzek: Come on, now.
Burgess: Let's go, let's go, let's go. Come on.
EP: office
Ruzek: Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Oh.
Interview room
Halstead: 27 firearms, Kenny? We had to put a rush order in to ballistics to go through 'em.
Kenny Armstrong: Oh, if it's too much trouble... Your boys can give them back to the streets.
Voight: Yeah, I'm guessing there's a good chance one of them nines is gonna come back with a body on it... Maybe even Malik's.
Kenny Armstrong: Don't know anybody named Malik.
Halstead: Yeah, you do. That's the kid you shot for snitching.
Kenny Armstrong: Doesn't ring a bell. I'm sorry. And like I said... Those guns are not mine.
Halstead: Then how did they wind up in your bar?
Kenny Armstrong: Not my bar, neither… You know... If you guys are gonna trump up some fake-ass charges, go ahead. Or can I go now?
Voight: You're free to go. Just don't go too far.
Lab
Atwater: Yo, Maury.
Maury: What?
Atwater: Tell me you got something good.
Maury: Oh, I do.
Atwater: On the nines, right?
Maury: No, those are clean, all of them, but I found a print on a Beretta 32 that was used in a cold-case homicide ten years ago. The handle was wiped clean, but the magazine wasn't. I got two partial matches and then one solid 12-point match.
Atwater: 12 points, nice. You get a hit?
Maury: Yeah.
Atwater: She's pretty for a killer, huh?
Laila Davis’s apartment
Laila Davis: You're late. It's almost 10:00. Didn't think you were coming… Did something happen? Is it Nathan? Is he okay?
Atwater: Uh, Nathan's fine. Uh, we're still trying to track down his grandma in New Orleans.
Laila Davis: All right, then what's up? You seem preoccupied.
Atwater: We found a bag of guns in Kenny's bar. One of those guns was used to kill a convenience store clerk ten years ago. Your prints are on it.
Laila Davis: I... I can explain.
Atwater: Listen... I'm a cop. You talk to me, that's evidence.
Laila Davis: Well, I didn't shoot nobody. Okay? I swear to God. Cop or not cop, I'm gonna tell you what happened, and you can do what you want… I was in the car with Kenny. We were just hanging out, chilling… And then he just pulls over in front of a convenience store and says that a guy who works inside owes him some money. So he hops out and then he runs into the store. Two minutes later, I hear "pop, pop," and then he hops back in the car, and we drive off. I was in the car the whole time. I never even stepped foot in that store.
Atwater: How did your prints get on the magazine?
Laila Davis: 'Cause Kenny told me to load the damn thing, so I did it. I didn't even think about it. Look, it sounds stupid, okay? I know. But I was 17. I had no idea he was gonna shoot that guy.
Atwater: Doesn't matter what you think… You were there. You were a part of a crime that resulted in a man's death. Thinking or not, naive or not, that's felony murder.
Laila Davis: I've had a smile on my face all day 'cause I knew you were coming here tonight, and we're sitting here talking about murder and fingerprints and Kenny. It's just like...
Atwater: Laila...
Laila Davis: I'm in a bad dream or something.
Atwater: Laila, this is the last thing that I want to be talking about, okay? Trust me… But I don't have a choice.
Laila Davis: So now what? Are you going to arrest me?
Atwater: Come on.
Laila Davis: So it's like that, huh?
Atwater: Like what?
Laila Davis: Like as soon as things get tough, you hide behind your badge?
Atwater: Don't do that. Don't put this on me. I didn't ask for this.
Laila Davis: But it came your way, nonetheless. So the question is, what are you gonna do about it? I'm not perfect. I'm not. Okay? I made mistakes… I know that… But for the past nine years, I have been a good person… A very good person. I've been at the community center every day, helping our young people make good decisions… The way that I see it... Okay, me being out here is a good thing… I'm keeping young brothers from selling drugs and joining gangs and robbing people. I'm saving lives… So why arrest me for something that I did stupid when I was a kid?
Pub
Atwater: She was dating Kenny. Doing what he told her to do. She stayed right there in the car. Said she had no clue he was gonna pop that dude.
Voight: We got nothing linking Kenny to Malik's murder. We gotta use the print. Force Laila to wear a wire, get Kenny talking about how he killed that clerk.
Atwater: Felony murder? She'd have to do some time.
Voight: I know, but... We gotta get Kenny off the street.
Atwater: Sarge...
Voight: Let me say something. The clerk who took two in the chest, did he get a free pass?
Atwater: That was ten years ago.
Voight: Yeah… Ten years of hell for the victim's family… Waking up every day thinking about what happened to their father. Their husband. Their son… Is there something else I need to know about you and Laila?
Atwater: Yeah… We got together the other night.
Voight: Then you gotta walk away from this, Kev… Now… Understand? No more communication of any kind.
Atwater: Okay.
Interview room
Voight: Help us get Kenny to confess to murdering that clerk, agree to testify to that effect in court, and you may not do any time.
Laila Davis: Are y'all crazy? Kenny's not stupid. I can't just walk up to the man and say, "Hey, remember the night you murdered that clerk?"
Voight: Laila, I'm trying to help you, okay? But to do that, you gotta help us… Come on, help us get Kenny off the street once and for all.
Laila Davis: Y'all, this is wrong. And Mr. Undercover too. He knows this is wrong. He's just too afraid to do anything about it… Where is he anyway? Is he hiding in the bathroom like a little punk-ass bitch?
Voight: Officer Atwater's been assigned to another case.
Laila Davis: Of course he has. 'Cause there's nothing left to do, right? He got me to help. Got me into his bed… And then he buries me for something I didn't even do… I saved this punk's life, and he does this… For real? I should have let Kenny know he was a cop... And let him kill his ass.
21 District: back office
Upton: Got it?
Atwater: Hey, can I get a minute?
Upton: Yeah, we got some equipment to load.
Atwater: There's really nothing I can say, other than I'm sorry. I didn't want for this to happen.
Laila Davis: But you didn't do anything to stop it, either.
Atwater: It's not that easy, Laila.
Laila Davis: You're right. It required you to have some courage.
Atwater: You don't understand...
Laila Davis: No, sure, I do… You one of those brothers that like to straddle the line. You pick and choose when to be black and when to be blue.
Atwater: Mm-mm.
Laila Davis: What about Nathan? Hmm? You gonna screw him over too? Is that your thing? Is that what you do? You screw over your own kind?
Motel room
Atwater: Yo, Nathan. Come on, man. Found your grandma. She can't wait to see you. Let's get up out of here. Come on.
Nathan Hawkins: No, man. I ain't leaving.
Atwater: We already talked about this.
Nathan Hawkins: Can't go. I need to stay here. Help my aunt.
Atwater: What are you talking about?
Nathan Hawkins: Kenny's people broke into my aunt's house last night… Tore it apart, wrote all kinds of nasty things on the walls.
Atwater: Okay, well, I'll send somebody over there to check on her, but you gotta get your ass up out of here, man.
Nathan Hawkins: Man, wherever I go, Kenny's gonna track me down. Okay, so I might as well just stay here.
Atwater: You're a boy. All right? That means that you can go to another city and start all over.
Nathan Hawkins: I can take care of myself. Look, dude, I'm not going nowhere. All right? So you might as well just... just lock me up or just let me go.
Atwater: If that's what you want.

Dawson: Hey, all right, look at me. The distress word is "Voight."
Laila Davis: Mm-hmm.
Dawson: If anything goes bad, just say the word, and we'll bust in.
Laila Davis: I got it.
Ruzek: All you gotta do is get Kenny to incriminate himself, okay? Just get him talking about the robberies...
Laila Davis: I said I got it.
Ruzek: Okay, you good? All right. Go, go, go, go, go.
Laila Davis: Hey, you. Where Kenny?
Marlo: Hey, girl. Don't know. Check the back office.
Ruzek: Just play it cool.
Laila Davis: Kenny, you in there? Oh, God. Voight! Voight! Voight!

Halstead: Laila. Police. Put your hands on the bar. Don't move. Put your hands on the bar.
EP: back office
Ruzek: Laila. It's all right. What happened?
Laila Davis: I don't know what happened. He was like that when I walked in.
Ruzek: All right. It's okay. It's okay.
Dawson: He's cold.
Ruzek: Come on.
Street
Atwater: Yo, Laila okay?
Ruzek: Yeah, she's all right. Tech said Kenny's been dead for three hours.
Dawson: Bartender claims he didn't see anything.
Atwater: We know who did it?
Ruzek: No, but I'm guessing there's a lot of contenders.
Atwater: Any evidence?
Ruzek: Just two nine-millimeter shell casings on the floor. That's about it.
Voight: That's not our problem. Homicide's taking the case, so pack up any loose ends. Let's get out of here.
Ruzek: Copy that.
Voight: Wait, Kev. Hang on a sec… What's up? Excuse me? You gotta be kidding me.What? No. Listen, there is always something you can do about it… Let me tell you something, next time you need a favor, don't bother asking me. Yeah. I gotta go… Kevin... It's the ASA...
Parking
Voight: Look, with Kenny dead, there is no trial. The ASA is not willing to be as... As lenient.
Laila Davis: What does that mean?
Voight: It's gonna be three years… Said that's the best they can do. I'm sorry… Jenna.

Atwater: Kenny's dead.

Atwater: Give me the gun.
Nathan Hawkins: So what, you gonna arrest me now?
