What?
Since when has this become

The resistance wasn't wiped out
after Wicker Park.
They went to ground.
I figured it out.
They're communicating
through the classifieds.
Their network regrouped
here in Pilsen,
right under our noses.
You got nothing

The... th-these are memorials.

You're searching

If we don't act now, we're

Regroup. Fight back.
And he dead now.
- Watch your mouth.
- Let the roaches come and take
what they want
if they want it so bad.
And we can start
all over, Rafe.
We can get back to the way
that things used to be.
Don't-don't you get it?

it's all bullshit.
It's a lie, Gabe.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
REPORTER: Commissioner Igoe,
is the insurgency reorganizing?
IGOE:
"Insurgency."
No one's mentioned that word
since Wicker Park.
REPORTER 2:
There are rumors
that hunters
are being brought in.
- (CAMERAS CLICKING)
- Measures are being taken,
but to preserve
their effectiveness,
I'm not gonna discuss them.
And we will keep you updated

Commissioner Igoe
is ready for you.
They're bringing in hunters
this time
- from off planet.
- They can't do that.
The one I.D. we have...
the ex-priest
from Saint Anthony's...
points to Pilsen.
You know what that means.
We can clean this up ourselves.
Yeah, nobody's talking
about a cleanup.
Pilsen isn't Wicker Park,
Commissioner.
- Yeah, not yet.
- They torch this neighborhood,
the network will go to ground
just like they did last time.
You know,
you're too sentimental, Bill.
Pilsen's a goddamn armpit.
Only good for whoring.
Their leadership is in Pilsen.
- You know that for a fact?
- I'm working on it.
Not fast enough.
If we do our job, we can locate
the end of the thread,
their Number One,
and unravel the whole network.
Look, let me stop you
right there.
Hey, that ship has sailed.
And I have to explain why
to them in there.
I got a positive I.D.
at Soldier Field,
the man I've been tracking
for two years.
I need time
to bring him in alive.
You're not listening.
Right now,
we have resources behind us.
Now, you might not see them,
but they're there.
They're protecting you.
And the more irrational
you become,
the more unnecessary noise
you make,
the harder it's gonna be to
invite you into the lifeboat.
Do you understand me?
If there's any chance
of getting off this dying rock,
I'm not gonna waste it.
Pilsen is already dead.
They just don't know it yet.
(BEEPING)
(ELECTRICAL HUM)
(SPRAY HISSING)

The commissioner's

You know it.
(BEEP)
(DISTORTED): And don't get
hung up on this, Bill.
Play ball.
And keep your hands clean.
Let the hunters do
the dirty work.
And I'll tell our friends

they got our full

Now, go home, relax,

Dance with me.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)
REPORTER: Commissioner Igoe,
is the insurgency reorganizing?
IGOE:
"Insurgency."
No one's mentioned that word
since Wicker Park.
REPORTER 2:
There are rumors
that hunters
are being brought in.
- (CAMERAS CLICKING)
- Measures are being taken,
but to preserve
their effectiveness,
I'm not gonna discuss them.
And we will keep you updated

Commissioner Igoe
is ready for you.
They're bringing in hunters
this time
- from off planet.
- They can't do that.
The one I.D. we have...
the ex-priest
from Saint Anthony's...
points to Pilsen.
You know what that means.
We can clean this up ourselves.
Yeah, nobody's talking
about a cleanup.
Pilsen isn't Wicker Park,
Commissioner.
- Yeah, not yet.
- They torch this neighborhood,
the network will go to ground
just like they did last time.
You know,
you're too sentimental, Bill.
Pilsen's a goddamn armpit.
Only good for whoring.
Their leadership is in Pilsen.
- You know that for a fact?
- I'm working on it.
Not fast enough.
If we do our job, we can locate
the end of the thread,
their Number One,
and unravel the whole network.
Look, let me stop you
right there.
Hey, that ship has sailed.
And I have to explain why
to them in there.
I got a positive I.D.
at Soldier Field,
the man I've been tracking
for two years.
I need time
to bring him in alive.
You're not listening.
Right now,
we have resources behind us.
Now, you might not see them,
but they're there.
They're protecting you.
And the more irrational
you become,
the more unnecessary noise
you make,
the harder it's gonna be to
invite you into the lifeboat.
Do you understand me?
If there's any chance
of getting off this dying rock,
I'm not gonna waste it.
Pilsen is already dead.
They just don't know it yet.
(BEEPING)
(ELECTRICAL HUM)
(SPRAY HISSING)

The commissioner's

You know it.
(BEEP)
(DISTORTED): And don't get
hung up on this, Bill.
Play ball.
And keep your hands clean.
Let the hunters do
the dirty work.
And I'll tell our friends

they got our full

Now, go home, relax,

Dance with me.
