[Chuckles]
- You know who lives here? - Mmmm.
Jake McCoy.
- Baseball player. - Still no.
[Dogs barking]
Me and my old partner broke up a party here once.
It was nuts. It was like "Boogie Nights."
I walked off with an autographed ball, though, so,
that was pretty cool.
- Oh, here we go. - Do you hear that?
- [Barking continues] - Stay where you are, sir.
How is anyone supposed to sleep with that racket?
Try going back home and closing your windows.
Try that.
[Doorbell rings]
[Barking continues]
Burgess. Blood.
2113 Squad, we're on scene.
Roll another car this way. We'll advise in a minute.
Go.
Chicago PD!
On three... One, two, three, move.
- See that? - Yeah.
Split.
Body.
Got it.
She was the only one in the house.
We found a purse; All it had was
$64 in cash, make-up, two condoms,
and dime bag of heroin.
So we have no idea who she is.
Well, she's somebody's daughter.
No alarm.
No sign of forced entry and no sign of Jake McCoy.
Just some smashed up and missing memorabilia.
Hey, boss?
Hey, McCoy's cell keeps going to voice-mail.
Found his lawyer's business card.
She said he's on his way back from a hunting trip.
Why would you tell your lawyer you were going on vacation
for the weekend?
Let's get a pinging order, find out where he's at.
- All right. - Yo.
We got a lot of press showing up outside, Sarge.
All right, comb the neighborhood.
Check for security cameras.
I want you to find witnesses before the press does,
you understand?
Copy that.
Hey, Sarge.
You know Jake McCoy?
Yeah, why?
How well?
Pretty well. He's a good guy.
Hmm.
This gonna be a conflict for you?
I don't see stripes on your shoulders, Antonio.
OK, so I'll ask. Is it gonna be a conflict?
No.
How did you know?
Know what?
Daisies.
They're my favorite.
I didn't send those.
Come on.
"Erin."
And the card's blank.
You're messing with me right now.
I swear to God, I didn't send these.
Damn sure gonna find out who did, though.
All right, Maya Collins. Age 16.
I ran her prints; She's got one prior for possession.
She's originally from Hailey, Idaho.
No known address.
Her case agent said that she fell through the cracks
in the juvie system.
Cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head.
There was blood on the edge of the coffee table.
Looks like she went into it backwards.
M.E. put the death somewhere between 12:00 and 2:00 A.M.
The neighbor that called and made the complaint
said he heard a girl scream at 12:30.
Said that wasn't out of the ordinary at Jake's house.
What are we looking at here?
I mean, does Jake McCoy have a history of violence?
Well, I met Jake about 10 years or so ago.
You know, before I came to Intelligence, I mean.
Since then, my contact was pretty sporadic.
Now, do I think he's a killer?
Not the Jake that I know.
Well, there is the robbery angle.
I mean, the trophy case was cleared out,
the house was tossed,
and the girl, whatever she was doing there,
she might've just been collateral damage.
Looks live vice was looking at McCoy for serving alcohol
to underage girls in his house.
Was McCoy into underage girls?
You'd have to ask him, Antonio.
You know, Jake's got a gofer, a guy named Freddy Mays.
He'd run a guest list.
All right, let's see if the robbery matches the M.O.
of any current crews.
Alert local pawn shops, anybody moving McCoy memorabilia.
Crack off an investigative alert.
Contact CPD at Midway, O'Hare, train stations.
Tell our guys to keep an eye out for McCoy.
- I'll talk to Freddy. - I'll go with.
Good.
Figured I'd be seeing you, Al.
This thing about the girl, man.
- That's crazy. - So what happened, Freddy?
What, you're not living in the guest house?
Oh, I guess you didn't hear.
No, man, Jake fired me.
Yeah, after he drove his Ferrari into that lamppost
six months ago, Jake said he saw God.
And Jake would know what he'd look like.
What Ferrari? What lamppost?
Jake got into a car wreck.
Yeah, crawled out alive; He decided he wanted to turn the page.
I thought the page we were on was pretty damn good, but...
Whatever, man, I'm over it.
You know her?
Just from the news.
Aw, come on, Freddy.
You used to bring all the girls around.
Definitely not her.
You still have access to McCoy's house?
Now I'm starting to feel like your partner here
thinks that I had something to do with this.
Did you?
No.
Hey, can I, uh, talk to you real quick?
Hey, you're, uh...
You're gonna look after him, right?
You leaving anything out, Freddy?
No. No, I'm just saying.
I mean, we can count on you, right?
Keep your phone on.
Kim Burgess and Mike Sorensen, you two met?
Great.
I need you to get over to Manny's Deli.
Call just came in, woman tried to swipe a brisket sandwich.
We caught a high-profile murder last night
and now you have us chasing stolen sandwiches?
Uh, you didn't "catch" anything.
You answered a call.
And if, after a proper investigation of this crime,
you were to bring back a pastrami on rye
with honey mustard, I'd leave that to your discretion.
So this is a sandwich run?
After the offender grabbed the brisket,
she pushed a waitress over a table.
It's an actual thing, so get on it.
Honey mustard. Roger that.
That car accident McCoy was in six months ago.
According to the patrolman's report,
alcohol appeared to be present,
but didn't play a part in the accident.
No DUI was ever administered.
All right, so what're you fishing for here?
The truth.
Same as you, or am I wrong on that?
I got a call from a beat officer out of the 28th district.
Told me he didn't want to talk on the phone,
but a friend was involved in an accident.
When I got there, the officer hands me
one of my business cards.
The one that I had given to Jake.
Look, Al, I know you like to play things
close to the vest, but...
What? I mean, it's just a friend helping a friend.
What, you never looked the other way at your social club?
Olinsky.
Where are you, Jake?
[Radio beeps] We're in position.
I'm good, Jake.
- I'm buying. - I'm good, I'm good.
I'm OK.
This is where it all started for me.
Canary Ville Kings.
Everything was so simple.
It was still a game.
Jake, you said you needed my help.
You know, I'm here.
Talk to me.
Everybody thinks I killed that girl.
Did you?
No.
All right.
Then what happened?
- Gun. - Move in.
It doesn't matter what happened.
- They're gonna crucify me. - Just take it easy.
I'm gonna help you through this thing, all right?
That's what I said to Maya.
- Look what happened. - Hey, hey, hey.
Drop it!
I didn't do it, Al.
I didn't do it.
- Get him in, uh, interview one. - I'll talk to Al.
If it's not Al, I want my lawyer here.
Let's go.
OK, who is doing the interview?
Me and Hank.
Wait, what?
Do you have a problem?
Not with you.
You're right here, brother.
I do have a problem, though,
with you running point on this, given...
The givens.
I don't have a personal conflict on this case.
OK, then drop back.
Let one of us handle it.
Look, Al has a relationship.
Relationships count for something in an interview.
Until they don't,
which is something I'll determine.
Tell us about Maya.
I met her, like, two months ago
at the Boys and Girls Club.
I do a lot of volunteer work there; Al knows.
And she said she was trapped.
Scared.
Yeah, what was she scared of?
Her pimp.
How long had she been a prostitute?
Since 15.
And she wanted to get out of that life.
And you were gonna help her?
Yeah.
By letting her trust an adult for once in her life.
And, look, I...
I have proof all of this is legit.
I recorded my interviews with Maya
and... and some other girls I was trying to help.
It's all on my laptop.
No laptop found at the house.
Well, then it was stolen.
By whoever did this.
After that accident...
My life changed, Al.
That tunnel they talk about?
I was in it.
And I got pulled back out.
Got pulled out to do some good in this world.
I got to be honest.
I'm having a lot of trouble buying all this.
It wasn't me.
Then who was it, Jake?
It had to be her pimp.
So you saying her pimp came to your house to kill her?
That's the only thing that makes sense.
He's... he's the one she was afraid of.
- Did she give you a name? - No.
And I never saw him.
But I'm telling you,
she was terrified of him.
Jake, where were you last night?
Came back from a hunting trip.
Late.
Then I crashed at Marley's place.
That's his daughter.
Pimp with no name, huh?
Call Vice, see what they know about her.
And talk to this daughter.
All that stuff on social media is a total lie.
My father, he couldn't have hurt that girl.
He was with me.
The whole night?
Yeah.
He was on his way back from a hunting trip
and he didn't want to drive all the way home,
so he crashed on my couch.
OK.
And what time, exactly, did he get here?
I don't know.
Sometime after 10:00, I guess.
My daughter's not the one that committed a crime here.
She's traumatized by what happened.
I-I think it best we have a lawyer here
if you want to ask any more questions.
OK, all right. Marley, how old are you?
- 18. - All right.
Which means it's your choice if you talk to us,
not your mom's.
And not her attorney's.
My dad didn't do this.
That's not the question.
Look...
We know that this is a really hard time
and that you believe your dad.
But if we're gonna solve this thing,
and figure out what did happen,
we just need to know what time he got here.
1:15.
He got here at 1:15.
It's not the first time.
She comes in here when we're busy
and she just grabs bags from the takeout counter.
- OK, can you describe her? - I don't know.
She's a black lady. She looks homeless.
Uh, she was wearing a plaid shirt.
Plaid shirt. OK.
Thank you.
We're gonna need a pastrami on rye...
Hey! Hey, I see her!
She's right there in the alley.
Yep, that's her.
Yup.
Excuse me.
Where'd you get that sandwich?
Stop!
Hey!
Don't move! Don't move; You're under arrest.
Oh!
Taser, taser, taser, taser!
[Electricity crackling]
You OK, slugger?
OK, so I just ran her ID.
You're not gonna believe this.
She is a cop.
Jake McCoy's daughter said he didn't arrive until 1:15.
So if the murder happened at 12:30, then he's got no alibi.
Uh, anything from Vice on Maya's pimp?
Nothing.
OK, what about this laptop of McCoy's?
Been recovered?
Checking pawn shops.
Hello?
Who was that?
Don't know. They hung up.
Says the call came from...
Easton, Kansas.
Seriously?
What?
I tracked the florist down. They're in Easton, Kansas.
They said the flowers were paid for in cash.
There's no way of knowing who bought 'em.
What?
I know it's probably nothing, but I'm gonna run the number.
You know I'm not trying to protect McCoy.
- I know you're not, Al. - All right.
I think you're trying to protect yourself
from believing McCoy was just working you this whole time.
Commander.
Detective.
I've been told you had a previous relationship with Jake McCoy.
Is that true?
Yeah.
But it's not gonna be a problem.
It's a problem for me.
This case has been getting enough attention already.
I'm taking you off.
No one wants to find out what happened to the girl more than I.
No one's gonna work harder to...
I appreciate that, Al.
But you're off the case.
- Was I not clear? - Oh, you were, Commander.
And I'm, you know, I'm just gonna stay
right here at my desk.
What, you want my badge? Here.
Come and get it.
I don't need an invitation, Detective.
You interfere with this case,
that badge is gone.
All right.
We got a tip from the pawn shop sweep.
Somebody just tried to pawn a bunch of stuff from Jake McCoy.
Guy named John Dolan.
He's got one prior for burglary.
All right, have Ruzek and Atwater hit it.
[Knocks]
John Dolan, this is Chicago PD.
[Thud, glass breaking]
Just a minute.
That's my door!
This is a search warrant. Sit down.
Search warrant? What for?
Really? Right here on the table, huh?
Wha... I'm a garbage picker.
I-I swear, I found all this stuff in the trash.
I swear to God.
Huh.
So you know Jake McCoy?
I know he's famous.
I didn't know what happened.
Not until I tried to pawn this stuff.
You found thousands of dollars worth of sports memorabilia
next to kitty litter?
Well, you wouldn't believe what rich people throw away.
Was this laptop out there in the trash
with the rest of McCoy's stuff?
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
So McCoy had a file called "Lost girls."
I found Maya Collins.
So you're, like, famous or something, right?
My friend said you were.
Uh, I want to know about you.
Where are you from?
I am from the moon.
Come on, just tell me.
Hailey, Idaho.
Yeah.
Might as well be the moon.
And how old are you?
I am 16.
Your parents know that you're here?
Do you think they'd care?
So how do you feel?
I mean, doing what you're doing?
[Chuckles]
Wait, you seriously just want to talk?
Yes.
I want to help you.
He has three more files just like that.
No sex, just talking.
Maybe McCoy was telling the truth.
That right there proves I was trying to help these girls.
All that proves is
you had a preexisting relationship with Maya.
You still can't account for where you were
at the time of her death.
I was at my daughter's.
After. You were there after.
I can't win with you guys.
If you were concerned for Maya,
why not go to the police?
Why? So you could arrest her?
That's not gonna change anything.
Is Detective Olinsky here?
He'd like to speak with Detective Olinsky.
Not here.
So what were you gonna do with these videos?
I was gonna contact their families.
Use this as an intervention.
Try to bring them together.
These girls were runaways.
They're addicts.
I was an addict.
I wasn't having sex with these girls.
I was trying to...
Show them the light.
Then tell us who killed Maya.
I told you, her pimp, OK?
- Where's... where's Al? - OK.
I think we're done here for now and I would like to request my client's release.
I still don't have to charge him for 12 hours.
He stays in lock-up.
OK, Vicky.
Let's start over.
I'm Kim.
Can you just tell me what's going on?
Look, I know you're police.
You were on the force in St. Louis.
Keep this up, sister, you're gonna make detective.
I am on your side, OK?
I'm trying to help you.
- Why are you living like this? - I know the drill.
If you're gonna pinch me, pinch me.
If not, I'm walking out that door.
McCoy made videos with three other prostitutes besides Maya.
All of them the same thing... No sex, just asking questions.
So McCoy really was trying to help those girls.
Maybe, but whether or not he killed Maya
is still to be determined.
Vice was able to ID one of the girls from the videos.
Her name is Alicia Meyers.
She's got two priors for solicitation
and she got popped in the same sweep as Maya a year ago.
They got any information on her pimp?
No, but they know which motel she turns tricks at.
Check it out.
Hey.
We're looking for her.
How long you want?
This long.
Look, my friend called me and said there was a party here,
so I'm not doing anything illegal.
We're not here to arrest you, Alicia.
- Great, see ya. - We need your help.
Look, I'm gonna scream.
I'm gonna scream here in two seconds if you don't...
This is your friend, Maya.
She was murdered.
And we think that whoever she works for,
her pimp, did this to her.
What's his name?
Alicia, who is he?
Saint.
Saint's your pimp, too?
Yeah. He killed Maya.
How do you know that?
He has a saying.
"You fly, you die."
- So Maya was trying to get out? - Yeah, that...
That baseball player said he was gonna take care of her.
Is that him? You talking about this guy?
Yeah, that's the guy.
To me, he seemed like a regular john.
Alicia.
When's the next time you see him?
No, no, Saint has eyes everywhere.
We're gonna get this guy off the street, I promise you that.
- Well, you better be damn sure. - I am sure.
Saint comes around at five to midnight to get his money.
How do you feel about what you do, Maya?
How do you think I feel?
I'm asking you.
It's like, uh...
It's like you're not even
a human being sometimes.
You know, it's like...
It's like you're just a piece of tissue or something.
Um, yeah, I don't really want to talk about it anymore.
This is Saint.
Hey, hey, who got something for me?
Come on.
All right, ladies, who got something for me?
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, talk to me.
Y'all take your time.
All right, all right.
Move in.
Chicago PD!
Don't move; Keep your hands where we can see them.
- Hey, hey, hey, what is this? - Get on your knees!
Did you really think you could just kill Maya?
Bitch, you talking crazy.
- She was my friend! - That's enough.
She was my friend and you killed her!
Hey, I don't know what she talking about.
Hey, Sarge.
Looks like we got an All Star ring in the glove box.
Hey, that's not what it looks like.
It never is.
Hey, Maya told me she was 18. I took her word for it.
Maya was trying to get away from you, bro.
No, man, Maya was confused.
McCoy got into her head,
big hitter with all his money, promising her the world?
And she just fell for it.
So you knew McCoy?
I knew he liked girls I knew.
You know a guy named Freddy?
Worked for McCoy.
I know a couple guys named Freddy.
You ever been to McCoy's house?
- Nope. - Then how'd you get his ring?
It was a gift. From Maya.
Oh, she was an All Star third baseman?
No, man.
Look, McCoy gave it to Maya, Maya gave it to me.
People give me stuff all the time.
I didn't want to take it, but I didn't want to offend her, so,
you know, it's yours, if you want it.
All right, listen to me.
Guys like you, who run underage girls...
You have a special place for me.
So...
You're gonna get honest.
Now listen.
What did you do to Maya?
Like I told you before, nothing.
[Gun cocks]
Yo, hey! All right, all right, all right!
All right, all right, look!
Look, I ran Maya, OK?
I admit that!
But she was alive the last time I saw her, OK?
Sarge. Sarge.
I was wondering if we could maybe
make this Manny's thing go away?
Why would we do that?
She threw a citizen across the restaurant
and she elbowed a police officer in the face.
You want her to go away?
She's gonna go away for aggravated battery.
OK, the lady's name is Vicky Metzler.
Oh, OK, oh, my God, she's a lady now.
Is that... Are you hearing this?
She is a cop, she's a former cop, she's from St. Louis.
OK, OK, so what happened?
She wouldn't tell me, but I got a friend there.
Story is, her and her partner were chasing
a robbery suspect high speed.
Suspect plows into another car and kills a mother and two kids.
Vicky was never the same.
I mean, she's one of us, Sarge.
Yeah, I get it, but...
Here's the problem: Manny already signed a complaint.
She's gonna have to do a night in the lockup.
But there's got to be something that we can do.
We did do something, Kim.
Our job.
Hi, how you doing?
How you holding up?
I'm really worried about my dad.
- Yeah. - How's he doing?
Well, you know, he's in a tough spot, Marley.
You don't think he did it, right?
No.
You know, a lot of my dad's so-called friends
were always after something.
His money, his fame.
Except you.
You never wanted anything from him.
So your father was here last night?
Yes.
What did you guys do?
Nothing. Um...
It was late, so I set him up on the couch
and went back to bed.
Oh, so you guys didn't talk?
Not really.
How did he seem?
Like normal.
He was a little worked up after he talked to Freddy,
but you know Freddy, he always gets on my dad's nerves.
He called Freddy?
Is that bad?
Well, it's just that we ran his phone records
and, you know, that...
That call didn't come up.
That's because he used my phone.
Did I just screw up?
[Knocking]
Freddy, you got a minute?
Actually, I'm in kind of a hurry, but what's up?
When was, uh...
When was the last time you talked to Jake?
I told you, he fired me, remember?
You didn't talk to him at all last night?
You here as a cop or a friend?
Did you talk to him last night?
[Chuckles]
No.
I really wish you would've said yes.
'Cause I know he called you from his daughter's phone.
It was 11:38.
Call lasted six minutes.
But what I don't know...
Is the content of that conversation.
Man, Al, what're we gonna do?
- Just tell me what happened! - Whoa.
Hey, whoa.
Easy now, Al.
We've all got skin in the game.
What do you mean by that?
Plenty of parties.
Yeah? Plenty of pictures.
You're in a lot of 'em.
A lot of stuff getting passed around.
Hmm?
Pictures that'd get your job lost real quick.
Are you threatening me?
Hate to bring it up like this, but, hey, man,
if you're gonna come in here and flex on me,
I'm gonna do the same, so...
How about we both just figure out a way
to make this thing go away?
You know, we were all playing a role
at Jake's house, weren't we, Freddy?
I was the dumb cop you guys had in your back pocket.
Till you needed a favor.
No, that ain't true, Al...
No, no, no, no, I...
I think it is.
[Chuckles] Come on, man.
Unless you tell me what happened to that girl.
What happened to that girl?
What happened?
See if he wants to talk.
Stand right here.
Where's Jake?
Come on.
Detective, I was very specific.
Do you want to know what happened to that girl or not?
'Cause I could get McCoy to talk.
So you're not gonna feed him information?
Help him get out of this charge, too?
No, I'm not.
I'm gonna go get a sandwich.
Maybe an iced tea, as well.
Probably take me about 45 minutes.
When I return,
it'll be for your badge.
And a to-from.
And I'm recommending a ten-day suspension
and mandatory enrollment in the behavior intervention system.
Welcome to the new and improved Chicago Police Department, Al.
[Knocking]
Hey, Al.
Thank God.
Where you been?
Listen.
You remember how I made that DUI go away?
Yeah.
I can help you with this, too.
But I'm gonna need to know what happened.
It's just you and me.
But when I tell you that there's no more time for dicking around...
Just got to believe me.
It was an accident.
I let Maya stay at my place to get back on her feet.
And I did go away on that hunting trip,
but I came back a day early, and I found her...
She had all my watches.
All my money.
She'd been stealing from me.
After all I'd done for her, I mean, how... how would you feel?
Betrayed.
Yeah.
Then I-I pushed her.
And she fell backwards and hit her head.
And the...
[Cries]
Blood started coming out.
I...
All I ever wanted to do was help her.
Yeah.
Why didn't you call an ambulance?
Because she was dead.
And I knew how that would look, so I...
I bolted.
I went to Marley's.
And I called Freddy.
He said he'd go back and make it look like a robbery.
It was an accident, Al.
It was an accident.
[Cries]
It's all right.
So...
What's the plan?
What do we do? What should I say?
Based on Jake McCoy's confession,
we're gonna file a complaint for voluntary manslaughter.
He'll be in bond court tomorrow.
Some friend.
Um...
You know, I had a chance to take him off the street.
You know, I could've let him take the ride on that DUI.
Maybe he'd be in a program now, or...
Or locked up.
She'd still be alive.
OK, so the phone number is a hard line
that's connected to a local diner in Easton,
which is right outside of Leavenworth.
Outside the penitentiary.
Yep, I spoke to the local sheriff
and he says it sounds a lot like this whack job they have in town
who does stuff like this all the time.
He's a Peeping Tom type; They picked him up.
He's locked up. He's in county, so we're good.
It's weird.
You know, my mom told me once my father did a stretch in Leavenworth.
What're you doing here?
I'm staying here until you get out tomorrow.
Why?
Vicky, I know what happened.
And it could've happened to any one of us, so...
I'm not gonna leave you alone.
I was the cop you never wanted to mess with.
I got my teeth in you, I was a dog on a bone.
I never let go.
So when that guy drove off and tried to get away,
I was gonna chase him to the ends of the earth.
I can't get past it.
I'm here.
So what would you change?
If you could?
Just one thing.
What difference would it make?
Got to be something.
Something you'd change or...
Maybe just something you could have right now.
OK, so if I had a magic wand or something.
Yeah.
OK, um...
I wish...
Um...
