Previously on APB
That call I made
it was to a cell phone
attached to a bomb.
DISTORTED VOICE: Gideon Reeves,
an unelected fascist technocrat
accountable to no one.
- (Gideon laughs)
- He's a guy with a lot of secrets.
And today those secrets come out.
Did you even consult a lawyer
before you shot a man with a drone?
GIDEON: We both know that
this is as much about the fact
that your ex-wife works here.
This is a crowbar. Just plug
it in to the district servers.
It'll pry open an encrypted
back door for me to do my thing.
- I'm not doing that!
- Yes, you are.
(siren chirps, man grunts)
(tires screech)
Where'd that car come from?
BRANDT: I don't know,
Squad. Out of nowhere.
I'd say they got somebody on a
computer looking out for them, too.
(beeping)
- What is that?
- Secret lab.
1309, Squad, we have
three armed assailants
approaching Gideon's house.
The stuff that I work on down
here is highly experimental.
And completely illegal!
The guy in the mask might be crazy,
but he's not wrong.
On the ground! Get on the ground now!
GIDEON: They're about to get it.
(shouts)
Mask off, gloves off.
Game on. Come and get me.
ANNOUNCER (on TV): Drives down the lane.
Beautiful pass!
Come on! Come on! Come on! Damn it.
Fakes left and goes
right along the baseline.
Either pass the damn
ball or shoot the three.
(static)
What the hell is?
Yeah, this is base, yeah?
We got a problem with
the video surveillance.
(static)
Oh, great. The radio's down, too?
- (footsteps approaching)
- Can I help you?
No.

Fear gripped the city as reports came in
to police districts across Chicago
of possible terror attacks.
Turns out those attacks
were well-orchestrated hoaxes
targeting the controversial
13th district of the city,
headed by maverick
billionaire Gideon Reeves.
Many are pointing to this video,
posted online before the attacks,
criticizing Reeves.
DISTORTED VOICE: An
unelected, fascist technocrat
accountable to no one
has trampled rights
and declared war on this city.
Authorities are still searching
for suspects, and sources say
the 13th district has
received credible threats
of further attacks.
Meanwhile, Mayor Salgado is pointing
the finger in another direction,
singling out Reeves personally.
Gideon Reeves has turned
our city into a target,
and once and for all, he
should be held accountable.
He's serious.
I've already had two
calls from City Hall.
He's going after us? That
He knows that we were the
ones that got attacked, right?
Did you mention that?
All he sees is a chance
to send you packing.
The assistant state's
attorney is already here,
waiting to help with your luggage.
Well, we have a
terrorist to catch, right?
- He tried to kill me.
- And me.
We need to talk about Ada.
- That's a complicated situation.
- Is it?
She confessed to working with a hacker.
The same hacker who tried to kill us.
- I know, but
- But what?
She should be in interrogation,
not sitting in the ops center.
- She's a criminal.
- That's debatable.
This isn't. She's not a cop.
I mean, am I wrong here?
I'll admit the kid's grown on me, but,
Gideon, we're sworn to uphold
the law here, and she broke it.
No question Ada did some
things that she should not have.
She was trying to help.
- She saved lives.
- But she took one to do it.
Gideon, you and I have
had this conversation.
Nobody gets to change the rules,
not even if it's for a good reason.
Not you, not me,
- and especially not Ada.
- Okay!
Okay, yes, yes, yes,
but reality check here.
We are going up against a hacker.
Not just any hacker.
A hacker that Ada personally knows.
So unless you're planning
on getting a graduate degree
in computer science
in the next half hour,
I mean, pretty sure we need her.
CONRAD: For now I'm inclined to agree.
Murph, Gideon's got
to talk to the A.S.A.
We got a bad guy to catch.
I think it's best we get on it.
Murphy, hey, I really am
so sorry about all of the
You're sorry? It's a little late
for that now, don't you think?
Yeah. Um
When you and Gideon got here,
I defended you.
I trusted you.
Then you turn around and
stab us in the back like this?
You put everything that
we worked for at risk.
So what the hell good
is your sorry gonna do
when this district is shut down?
Yeah, I thought so.
Now I have a suspect to interrogate.
And if it wasn't for
Gideon, it would be you.
Mayor Salgado wants the 13th district
to stand down, effective immediately.
Ah, so, what? We're just
supposed to walk away?
The mayor realizes we're
actually doing a job, right?
Is he gonna order all the criminals
to stand down as well?
He's getting approval from the
city council for an injunction,
giving the 12th district
control of the 13th.
The leadership you, the
captain will be suspended.
You have been after the
13th since I got here.
No, no, no. This isn't about me.
This is about your arrogance.
Yes, yes, yes, that
is true. You are right.
I was. I was arrogant. Danny Reghabi,
DV8, whatever he's called
he's coming after the 13th 'cause of me,
but you know what else is true?
We are dealing with a
very dangerous person.
And we are the only district
that could even begin to handle him.
So, if you have to
I don't know arrest me, shoot me,
whatever, knock yourself out.
As long as I'm here, I have a job to do.
According to your
prints, you're Jack Nagle.
Priors for armed robbery, assault and
being a dumbass crook in general, so,
you want to tell me how you ended up
working for Danny Reghabi?
- I'm sorry. DV8.
- Nope.
Here's the deal.
We got you on attempted murder,
home invasion and weapons
charges, all on video.
So unless you want to die
in prison, start talking.
(indistinct radio transmission)
GIDEON: Ah, I see
Murphy's working her magic.
How'd it go with the A.S.A.?
Huh? Oh, just a misunderstanding.
He's buying me a lobster at Shaw's,
hanging my portrait at City Hall.
How's the interrogation going?
I've seen better.
Ada, bring up the biometric chair feed.
How do you know Danny Reghabi?
I'm not telling you a damn thing.
He's got to be protecting someone.
Probably himself.
Danny is frighteningly good
at getting to anyone, any time,
anywhere.
Ooh, hear that, Murph?
Sounds like this guy's more
scared of our psycho hacker
than he is of going to jail.
That might be something
you can use, huh?
Do you really think
keeping your mouth shut's
gonna keep you safe?
Do you have any idea
what Danny can do to you
if we don't catch him?
We can't protect you in jail.
GIDEON: Yeah.
Spiking him there,
Murph. Let him have it.
All it takes is one digital
favor to the Aryan Nation,
and you're bleeding out in the showers
with a swastika carved into your back.
- You can't do that.
- It won't be us doing anything.
Your only hope is if we catch this guy.
Maybe he'll forgive
you, let you walk away.
I mean, I don't know. You
know him more than I do.
I don't know much, okay?
(sighs)
I'm listening.
We were supposed to meet him
at a train yard at 52nd and Western.
The job paid 50 grand
a piece. That's it.
That's all I know.
I'm gonna give you a little pro tip.
Next time you take a
job from a psychopath,
I'd ask more questions.
We got to check out that train yard.
I'm taking every available
unit and heading out there now.
Wait. You are?
That son of a bitch came after
you, he came after Murphy.
Hell, he came after all of us.
It's time I got out on the
streets, made my feelings known.
(sirens blaring)
You know, you're the captain.
You could've taken one of the Caddies.
Hey, I let you put a
camera in it, didn't I?
Call me old-fashioned, but
I like my ride just fine.
1309, Squad.
Listen, you have to be careful.
I've seen what this guy can
do, and he's not messing around.
Copy that, 1309. Neither are we.
BRANDT: Easy there, crusher.
Me and Goss are the only two
cops who have ever come close
to busting this guy.
We're getting first crack at him.
CONRAD: I don't care who nails DV8.
We got to work together,
keep our eyes open.
God only knows how
he's gonna come at us.
(tires screeching)
Captain!
1309, Squad, we need an ambulance!
Conrad! Conrad, you okay?
Brandt, help me out with this!
You two, go check the other cars!
Dude just ran right through a red light.
(grunts)
No, he didn't. Brandt, look.
They're all green.
Squad, do you see this?
What the hell is going on?!
I'm trying to get into
the transportation system,
but something's wrong.
That's putting it mildly.
Someone has hacked the
entire transportation grid.
Someone?
Murphy
it's him.
Oh, I think his ribs are broken.
All right, all right. We
got you, Captain, right here.
What the hell is that?
I don't know. I found it
in the back of the cruiser.
It's space bandages or something.
FEMALE VOICE: Please
indicate your emergency.
Place the dressing labeled
A-15 on the wound
- and apply
- (horn honks, cars crash)
Check the patient for
internal bleeding
Hey, hey, hey, you
stay there! You back up!
Come on! Back up!
- Cobb, this is crazy.
- (tires screech, cars crash)
Oh, man.
- You okay? Okay.
- I'm good. I'm good.
1309, Squad, we got
multiple car accidents.
We need medical assistance now!
I see you, you bastard.
Paramedics are on the way, 1309,
but they're gonna be a while.
We have crashes across 30 blocks.
Ada, there has to be
a way into that system.
Yes, normally there would be,
but this hack isn't at
the central computer.
He must have hardwired his way
into one of the field offices.
How would he do that?
Because he has a small piece
of hardware called a "crowbar,"
and it punches a back door through
any system that it's wired into.
Like the thing he used
to hack Gideon's servers.
Yes, and that's how he
learned all of his secrets.
That's it. I am gonna
rip this guy a new
(yelling)
Hey, hey, hey.
- Captain, Captain.
- (groans)
Computer thing says you got to lay down.
Look, I don't take orders from
some talking first aid kit.
Besides, a lot of people got
bigger problems than me right now.
- Cap, we need to get you help.
- I got you. I got you.
(grunts) No.
A lot more people gonna get hurt
if we don't figure this out quick.
1309, Squad, how can we figure out
something to do with
this traffic situation?
Somebody has to get over to
the district transit authority,
find whatever they have
wired into the system,
- and
- Smash the hell out of it?
Once again, you read my mind.
All right. I need you two to get
to the district transit office
and do whatever it
takes to get back online.
- I'm not leaving the captain.
- Hey.
I made my first bust when
you two were in diapers.
Don't make the mistake
of disobeying orders.
Now go. Come on.
Yes, sir.
Cap, are you sure you're all right?
As long as you get out
there and shut this guy down,
I'll be just fine.
- Take care of him.
- All right?
(grunts)
Damn.
Mr. Reeves
Oh, good, you're still here.
I was hoping that you would stick around
to kick us while we're down.
You want to tell me what's going on?
Be a lot easier to tell
you what's not going on.
Um, we're trying to
keep the entire district
from falling apart.
Your ex is leading the charge.
(siren wailing)
So, what am I supposed
to tell the mayor?
That he's ugly.
That he's bald. Oh, how
about this? How about this?
Tell him we have a
district-wide cyber attack
on our infrastructure.
And if he knows anything about
massively parallel information
processing systems
we could use his help.
Otherwise, he should probably
just stick to pounding his desk
and blaming me for everything.
(siren wails)
(tires screeching)
GOSS: Man, I've seen a
lot of Chicago traffic,
but never like this.
You good?
No.
Captain was hurt back there,
and we just walked off.
- Just left him.
- Because he ordered us to.
Yeah, well, I don't
care. I don't like it.
- Don't like any of it.
- I can see that.
I screwed up. I saw that
car, I saw it coming.
Just going too fast. He was
going straight for the captain.
Oh, come on. You couldn't
have known that that car
You don't know that.
You don't know that. I ju I froze.
It was a car going 45 miles an hour.
It-It was chaos all around.
There was no way
Which is exactly why I
should have been on my game.
I've seen this before. I've seen
I've seen this overseas. Some guy,
he gets distracted, can't
do his job, people get hurt.
Brandt, listen to me.
You're not "some guy," all right?
You're my partner,
and right now we got a job to do.
So I'm gonna need you
to pull it together.
Yeah roger that.
(sniffles)
Squad, we're en route to the
transportation department now.
Copy, 1305. Keep us posted.
All right. I checked
all the police servers.
I didn't find any crowbars, router taps,
- or any other hardware hacks.
- All right, all right, good.
Maybe we've at least cleaned up
DV8's digital rat droppings
here at the station.
Hey, Murph, how's it going out there?
We're approaching the area, Squad,
but there's gonna be a hell
of a lot of ground to cover.
Okay. We got more units on the way.
We're gonna use the
drones as a perimeter.
Copy. The train yard our
suspect identified is up here.
(siren stops, engine shuts off)
Gideon.
Gideon, the car just went dead on me.
GIDEON: What? It what?
I repeat, the car is dead.
What? Get get all the body cams up.
1312, Squad, we're S.O.L., too.
Oh how the hell is he doing this?!
Some kind of remote hack
into our electrical systems.
He did the same thing
to me a few weeks ago.
I thought we were protected
against those kind of hacks.
Once again, under normal
circumstances, we would be.
But I wrote the software.
Danny and I had the same teacher,
and he knows all of my
tricks and then some.
So is anyone still rolling out there?
No, Gideon. He shut them all down.
Murphy, I don't know what to tell you.
Looks like we've had a
security breach of our own.
If he's coming at us this
hard, we have to be close.
We'll move by foot. Use the
drones to monitor the area.
Let's just get them out.
Okay, we're posting them
at major streets now.
Uh, what the hell?
Gideon, what's going on?
Pete, Pete, Pete.
Uh
I don't know. I don't know.
Some kind of malfunction.
Oh, I don't like the look of this.
Yeah. For once, Rookie, I'm with you.
Gideon, is that you?
That is definitely not me!
Get down now!
Gideon, we're under fire.
GIDEON: All right, all
right. Can you take cover
in one of the cruisers?
No, we're locked out.
There must be some kind
of stronger control signal
in the area overriding ours.
He's running the whole thing
through an AES algorithm.
He's broken the signal encryption?
How is DV8 doing any of this?
Gideon, he's the only
person I've ever met
who might be smarter than you.
I need you to do everything you can
to pinpoint DV8's location.
Pete, let go of that stick.
Earth to Pete!
I need you to get every bit
of jamming equipment we have
into the van right now.
MURPHY: Reyes, Cobb,
switch your guns to Taser.
Aim for the propellers!
Oh, sure, Detective.
Aim for the little toy helicopter props
a hundred feet away?
(grunts)
They're moving targets.
That's very observant, Rookie.
That also makes us sitting ducks.
All right, enough of this crap.
I'm gonna try something different.
- (screams)
- Cobb!
(yelling)
(grunts)
Go, Reyes. I'll cover you.
(grunts)
(grunts, pants)
- Cobb.
- What?
Come on, buddy, wake up. Wake up.
If you try and give me mouth-to-mouth,
I'm gonna shoot you myself.
(phones ringing)
Hold, please.
Hold, please.
District 13. Sergeant Charles.
How can I help you?
Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Mayor.
Hold one second, please.
Anybody seen Gideon?
Hello. I got the mayor on the line.
Somebody get me Gideon Reeves right now.
I'll take it. I'll take it.
Mr. Mayor, it's A.S.A. Murphy.
I called for Gideon Reeves.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. He's occupied.
Not for long. I just got off
the phone with Judge Barnett,
and I've got a court order
authorizing you to shut him down.
MURPHY: Squad, we're still under attack.
I'm afraid I can't do that, sir.
What the hell does that mean?
Sir, with all due respect,
it sounds like you want
to stop Gideon Reeves
more than the hacker going after him.
Now, that hacker may
be pulling the trigger,
but it's Reeves who put a
target on this city's back.
Now, I want them both gone,
and I want it done now.
Can you make that happen, Mr. Murphy?
No, sir, I can't.
My son's mother is out
there, and she is in danger.
And right now
Gideon Reeves is the only
one that can help her.
So if you want to shut down the 13th,
you're gonna have to do it yourself.
That's the sexiest
thing I've seen all day.
MAN: I clearly had the right of way.
That light was green.
How much farther to transit authority?
About a half hour on foot.
How about we don't do
it on foot? Right here.
(knocking on window) Chicago Police.
What? Did I do something wrong?
No, sir, but you can do something right.
Police emergency. We need
to borrow your vehicle.
(engine revs)
(tires screech)
(tires screech)
Oh.
Trying to assemble delicate
electronics back here.
I know, I know. But because
of all the traffic jams,
I'm trying to stick to the back streets.
I thought I told you
to organize this van.
Why would you put radio transmitters
next to solenoids?
(laughing): Because they're
in alphabetical order.
Who puts electronic parts
in alphabetical order?
Seriously? The same guy
who's gonna smash a chair
over his boss' head
if he doesn't quit yelling at him.
All right, fair enough.
(car horn honks)
(tires screech)
Oh, God.
Okay, okay.
Ah.
What are you doing?
Jamming the control signal
so I can finally land these bad boys.
- Really?
- You're damn right.
All right,
but you owe me 250,000 bucks.
(sighs)
DV8's got to be pretty close
to be able to break the
encryption on one of these.
Unfortunately, "close" isn't gonna do us
a whole lot of good right now.
We need an exact location.
I might be able to help you with that.
If you send me the drone's
radio signal log, I can use it
to find out where it was
being controlled from.
I like it.
He used our tech against us.
It's about damn time
we used his against him.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, Ada.
Now should be able to
download the information
from the signal that was used
to take down those drones.
Yeah. I'm hooking into our own
network of radio towers now.
Should be able to
find something shortly.
Are you sure you want to
depend on her for this?
Murphy, she can hear you right now.
I know.
GIDEON: Okay, okay.
She made mistakes.
I get it.
So have I, Murph.
Big juicy,
terrible mistakes
ever since I took over the 13th.
- That's not
- Look.
I have been disrupting
things all of my life
in the name of success.
Aerospace, robotics
I forced my kindergarten teacher
into an early retirement.
But you know what every last one
of those successes was built on?
My failures.
I got where I am
because I screwed up, Murph.
A whole lot.
I have a successful rocket company
because I blew up a
butt-load of rockets first.
And 'cause people
like Ada stuck with me,
even through those mistakes, all right?
We're still a team.
All right.
- I'm with you.
- All right, good.
'Cause it's really
freaking cold out here
and I'm running out of big
speech-y things to say, so
ADA: Gideon, I think I found something.
Now that's what I want to hear.
Where is he?
I that's the problem.
I don't know what kind of
security protocol he's using.
And his transmission
signal seems to be moving.
30 seconds ago, it was
coming from Ashland,
and now it's coming
from 35th and Archer?
What's he using, some
kind of proxy setup?
I mean, if he is,
it's incredibly advanced.
- He's on a train.
- What?
He's not using fancy software, Gideon.
He's on the 'L' train.
Ada, was he going southwest on Wabash?
Yeah. Yeah, he's on a train.
Now, see? Team. Right?
Ada, where can we find this guy?
Okay. If you guys head south,
you can probably intercept
him at the Dearborn train yard.
But I'm not gonna be
able to pinpoint him
closer than a few hundred feet.
GIDEON: Okay, one problem at a time.
Everyone, back to your posts now.
We got work to do.
- Ada.
- Hey.
What's the situation?
Um, we might have a
location for Danny Reghabi.
Good.
What about Brandt and Goss?
Any progress getting the
district moving again?
It's hell out there.
Yes. Th-they're approaching
the transit building now.
CONRAD: 1305.
What's your status?
BRANDT: 1305, Squad.
We had a, uh, transportation issue,
but, uh, we worked it out.
Yeah, but it looks like the D-21 cops
already beat us to the punch.
Hey. What's going on?
Security guard got killed.
Bullet to the back of the head.
Squad, District 21 is on-site
investigating a homicide.
We're definitely in the right place,
but we got no idea
what we're looking for.
Okay. What you're looking for
is a telecom center.
It's gonna be away from the computers.
It's a place where sensitive electronics
are wired up for transmission.
It's probably where DV8 was able to hack
with a small piece of hardware.
You sure he hasn't tapped
into their computer?
No. The system is fine.
It's just that the, uh, signal
keeps getting hijacked
before it can make its way
to the transportation grid.
Honey, I understand about a
third of what you just said.
Just tell me where
we're supposed to look.
I'm thinking if he
killed a security guard,
he must've needed to
get inside the building,
which means he's not doing
anything on the ground floor.
There's a hell of a
lot of crap up there.
Yep, which means a hell of a
lot of ways to mess stuff up.
Let's go.
1309, what's your 20?
GIDEON: We're getting close, Squad.
All right, my access to the
district transpo system is limited,
but my best guess is
that you're looking for
the train that came in on Track 7.
That train is scheduled to make
a stop for a track change
now.
Is-is there any way that
you guys can make it?
MURPHY: Already did.
There, there.
- It's got to be that one, right?
- (air hissing)
All right, listen up,
we need to be careful.
This guy's been working on
killing us since yesterday.
We give him another shot,
he's not gonna hesitate.
ADA: Okay, guys,
according to the system,
this track change
doesn't take very long,
- so you don't have much time.
- You have to get a move on.
Right, 'cause we've been
standing around all day?
(train horn blows)
Go!
MURPHY: This car's empty.
Head for the side door.
Go, go, go! Come on.
(grunts)
All aboard.
BRANDT: She was right,
there's a hell of a lot of gak up here.
GOSS: "High voltage, keep out"?
You got to be kidding me.
Ada didn't say anything
about getting fried to death.
Now, what are we looking for, exactly?
Something that looks like
it doesn't belong in there.
Hey.
Hey.
You with me?
Yeah.
Those are a lot of wires.
I don't even know where to start.
Wait, what's that?
Right there, come here.
You see that?
Is that it?
This is not good, we
got to call somebody,
the power company, or
We don't have that kind of time,
people are getting hurt out there.
Ugh. Okay.
All right, all right, I'm on it.
Now, it looks like the only
way through is-is right here,
but I don't, I don't have
eyes on the damn thing.
No, no, no, no, I can see it from here.
But you're gonna have to make the reach,
my arms aren't long enough.
- Are you serious?
- I can guide you.
Look, we can do this, Brandt.
This is what the
captain ordered us to do.
Look, come on, man, the longer we wait,
the worse it's gonna
get out there. Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
(clears throat)
(breathing heavily)
Okay, uh
lower your hand about half an inch.
A little higher.
Oh, stay-stay to the
right, stay to the right.
Whoa, whoa, watch the wires.
- Watch the wi
- (crackling, Brandt grunts)
Damn it!
Ah!
Brandt, you okay?
(shudders)
Hey, hey.
(sighs heavily)
You can do this.
You can do this.
(softly): Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
(breathing heavily)
You got me?
I got you.
Whoa, stay to the right.
There.
Uh, little higher.
There.
That's good, you're touching it.
You got it.
(grunting)
Yes!
Ah!
(groans)
Ah!
(laughs)
1305, Squad.
Be advised, the
transmitter's been located
and neutralized.
- ADA: Yes!
-
(train horn blows)
We have any idea where this guy is?
He has to be in one of these cars.
How are we covering each other
going through these doors?
I didn't say it was gonna be easy.
You wait back here, Gideon.
I'm pretty much all-in
on this one, Murph.
Hey, uh, Ada?
I need you to get the cruisers to us
soon as they're back online.
Oh, tell Pete to get me the jammer.
We're gonna need everything we got.
Yeah, without access to his system,
that's not gonna do us much good.
Huh.
I think maybe I can help with that.
- Gideon, wait.
- No, no, no, no time to wait.
Okay, got his computers, yes.
So, looks like a wireless
transmission system.
(lights buzzing)
Well, look who's here.
Uh-uh.
That's enough.
Screw you.
(Taser crackles)
Screw you.
(grunts)
You like it? It's called a hot suit.
A lot of power company guys wear them
when they're working on the lines.
The metal threading helps protect you
from high voltage shock.
Oh, also cops who think they can trust
a fascist billionaire's tech.
- Danny?
- I prefer DV8, thanks.
And whatever you're
about to tell me about
putting my gun down or not
making this worse for myself,
you can save your breath.
Drop your guns.
Or the genius mind of Gideon Reeves
gets splattered all over this train.
GIDEON: Okay, so
just tell us what you want.
Oh, my friend, that list is long.
Well, you don't have much time.
What do you think, you're just gonna
just ride in this train forever?
You think we're actually
gonna let you shoot him
and just walk away?
We're not gonna let you do that.
The thing is, you're not
really in a great position
to bargain, Officer Murphy.
And I've got myself a few billion
dollars' worth of hostage here.
Captain, you're needed
at the front desk.
- Not now.
- It's urgent, sir, the FBI is here.
(sighs)
Ada, I'll be back soon as I can.
Okay, yeah.
Murphy, is there any way
you can buy some time?
I think I can stop the train.
Okay.
Let's just let's just calm down.
You have all the power here,
so why don't you just
tell us how this goes?
Yeah.
Let's talk like rational
okay, maybe not rational, all right?
Intelligent, yes?
Let's talk like
intelligent human beings.
- Unbelievable.
- What?
Even with a gun to your head,
you can't keep your smart mouth shut?
This whole 13th district
experiment, it ends today.
In fact, it's already started.
So, Ada, if you're watching,
tell the feds I say hi.
CONRAD: What the hell do
you think you're doing?
We have a warrant for her arrest.
Look, she is in the middle of dealing
with a hostage situation.
And we're in the middle
of an investigation.
We have information she was involved
in multiple federal crimes.
I'm telling you,
we have an authorization and a warrant.
CONRAD: Look, this is my personnel here.
This is my district!
(sighs)
What did you do?
I held her accountable, that's all.
Now, you're angry with me.
Why punish Ada?
'Cause she's just as guilty as you are.
Maybe even more so.
She was one of us
before she started
helping you turn this city
into your own little police state.
MURPHY (whispering): Please, Ada.
I'm trying to get into the
transportation computers.
I'm working as fast as I can.
You're interfering in a case.
You're putting lives in danger.
She is in direct violation
of a federal plea agreement.
Are you sure you want to
thump your badge at us?
Look, we're far from perfect.
But we're trying to protect people.
Is that right?
Well, today they're gonna find out
just how well-protected they are.
- They're all gonna know.
- How, exactly?
Let's just say there's gonna
be a little demonstration
of just how powerless the mighty
13th district really is, Detective.
Look, you don't need to do this.
One more step and he dies.
CONRAD: Okay, wait, hold on, hold on.
- I need to talk
- Adelaide Hamilton.
- You're under arrest.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
God, come on.
(beeping)
(brakes screech)
Drop it! You're under arrest.
And I'm not in Taser mode, smart-ass.
You got him?
Yeah. But now we have to stop him.
MURPHY: Just sit your ass right
there. We're not through with you yet.
What are all these for?
Okay, without Ada here to help
me sort it out, I'm not sure.
But this one was disabling the cruisers
and I got those back online.
A lot of this stuff here
looks like it was for
hacking the drones.
And the rest?
Well, that's what I'm worried about.
This one.
There's mapping software
and some sort of
servo control mechanism?
- I-I
- Meaning?
It's for
remotely controlling devices.
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
It's targeting software
for an automated weapon.
What? Where is it?
Uh hard to be 100% sure.
The mapping overlay is for downtown.
That's between Wacker and Michigan.
Gideon, that's where City Hall is.
- Can we stop it?
- No. No, it's
it's an automated program.
It would take too long
to break the encryption.
Then we'll break him.
We found your little
surprise. Turn it off now.
Why on earth would I do that?
Don't dig yourself a deeper hole.
Oh, the hole isn't mine.
It's a grave for the 13th district.
I've thought a lot
about this, Mr. Reeves,
how to end your experiment for good.
Nobody seems to mind the
cops killing innocent people.
But I think a bloody
corpse or two at City Hall
might shake everybody's faith
in the Gideon Reeves
revolution, don't you?
Please. You've made your point.
No, I haven't.
Not until I bring
your brave new world
to an end.
MURPHY: He's stalling.
We need to get to downtown
before it's too late.
- Enjoy the show.
- Shut the hell up.

And we'll be sorting

for some time to come.
But right now one thing
is painfully clear:
the technological experiment
launched in our 13th district
by billionaire Gideon Reeves has failed.
(engine revs, tires screech)
(siren wailing)
What are you doing? The drones
GIDEON: No, no, no,
it's not for the drones.
Then what?
Reeves has talked about

his own ego,

That call I made
it was to a cell phone
attached to a bomb.
DISTORTED VOICE: Gideon Reeves,
an unelected fascist technocrat
accountable to no one.
- (Gideon laughs)
- He's a guy with a lot of secrets.
And today those secrets come out.
Did you even consult a lawyer
before you shot a man with a drone?
GIDEON: We both know that
this is as much about the fact
that your ex-wife works here.
This is a crowbar. Just plug
it in to the district servers.
It'll pry open an encrypted
back door for me to do my thing.
- I'm not doing that!
- Yes, you are.

I'd say they got somebody on a

- Secret lab.
1309, Squad, we have
three armed assailants
approaching Gideon's house.
The stuff that I work on down
here is highly experimental.
And completely illegal!
The guy in the mask might be crazy,
but he's not wrong.
On the ground! Get on the ground now!

Fear gripped the city as reports came in
to police districts across Chicago
of possible terror attacks.
Turns out those attacks
were well-orchestrated hoaxes
targeting the controversial
13th district of the city,
headed by maverick
billionaire Gideon Reeves.
Many are pointing to this video,
posted online before the attacks,
criticizing Reeves.
DISTORTED VOICE: An
unelected, fascist technocrat
accountable to no one
has trampled rights
and declared war on this city.
Authorities are still searching
for suspects, and sources say
the 13th district has
received credible threats
of further attacks.
Meanwhile, Mayor Salgado is pointing
the finger in another direction,
singling out Reeves personally.
Gideon Reeves has turned
our city into a target,
and once and for all, he
should be held accountable.
He's serious.
I've already had two
calls from City Hall.
He's going after us? That
He knows that we were the
ones that got attacked, right?
Did you mention that?
All he sees is a chance
to send you packing.
The assistant state's
attorney is already here,
waiting to help with your luggage.
Well, we have a
terrorist to catch, right?
- He tried to kill me.
- And me.
We need to talk about Ada.
- That's a complicated situation.
- Is it?
She confessed to working with a hacker.
The same hacker who tried to kill us.
- I know, but
- But what?
She should be in interrogation,
not sitting in the ops center.
- She's a criminal.
- That's debatable.
This isn't. She's not a cop.
I mean, am I wrong here?
I'll admit the kid's grown on me, but,
Gideon, we're sworn to uphold
the law here, and she broke it.
No question Ada did some
things that she should not have.
She was trying to help.
- She saved lives.
- But she took one to do it.
Gideon, you and I have
had this conversation.
Nobody gets to change the rules,
not even if it's for a good reason.
Not you, not me,
- and especially not Ada.
- Okay!
Okay, yes, yes, yes,
but reality check here.
We are going up against a hacker.
Not just any hacker.
A hacker that Ada personally knows.
So unless you're planning
on getting a graduate degree
in computer science
in the next half hour,
I mean, pretty sure we need her.
CONRAD: For now I'm inclined to agree.
Murph, Gideon's got
to talk to the A.S.A.
We got a bad guy to catch.
I think it's best we get on it.
Murphy, hey, I really am
so sorry about all of the
You're sorry? It's a little late
for that now, don't you think?
Yeah. Um
When you and Gideon got here,
I defended you.
I trusted you.
Then you turn around and
stab us in the back like this?
You put everything that
we worked for at risk.
So what the hell good
is your sorry gonna do
when this district is shut down?
Yeah, I thought so.
Now I have a suspect to interrogate.
And if it wasn't for
Gideon, it would be you.
Mayor Salgado wants the 13th district
to stand down, effective immediately.
Ah, so, what? We're just
supposed to walk away?
The mayor realizes we're
actually doing a job, right?
Is he gonna order all the criminals
to stand down as well?
He's getting approval from the
city council for an injunction,
giving the 12th district
control of the 13th.
The leadership you, the
captain will be suspended.
You have been after the
13th since I got here.
No, no, no. This isn't about me.
This is about your arrogance.
Yes, yes, yes, that
is true. You are right.
I was. I was arrogant. Danny Reghabi,
DV8, whatever he's called
he's coming after the 13th 'cause of me,
but you know what else is true?
We are dealing with a
very dangerous person.
And we are the only district
that could even begin to handle him.
So, if you have to
I don't know arrest me, shoot me,
whatever, knock yourself out.
As long as I'm here, I have a job to do.
According to your
prints, you're Jack Nagle.
Priors for armed robbery, assault and
being a dumbass crook in general, so,
you want to tell me how you ended up
working for Danny Reghabi?
- I'm sorry. DV8.
- Nope.
Here's the deal.
We got you on attempted murder,
home invasion and weapons
charges, all on video.
So unless you want to die
in prison, start talking.
(indistinct radio transmission)
GIDEON: Ah, I see
Murphy's working her magic.
How'd it go with the A.S.A.?
Huh? Oh, just a misunderstanding.
He's buying me a lobster at Shaw's,
hanging my portrait at City Hall.
How's the interrogation going?
I've seen better.
Ada, bring up the biometric chair feed.
How do you know Danny Reghabi?
I'm not telling you a damn thing.
He's got to be protecting someone.
Probably himself.
Danny is frighteningly good
at getting to anyone, any time,
anywhere.
Ooh, hear that, Murph?
Sounds like this guy's more
scared of our psycho hacker
than he is of going to jail.
That might be something
you can use, huh?
Do you really think
keeping your mouth shut's
gonna keep you safe?
Do you have any idea
what Danny can do to you
if we don't catch him?
We can't protect you in jail.
GIDEON: Yeah.
Spiking him there,
Murph. Let him have it.
All it takes is one digital
favor to the Aryan Nation,
and you're bleeding out in the showers
with a swastika carved into your back.
- You can't do that.
- It won't be us doing anything.
Your only hope is if we catch this guy.
Maybe he'll forgive
you, let you walk away.
I mean, I don't know. You
know him more than I do.
I don't know much, okay?
(sighs)
I'm listening.
We were supposed to meet him
at a train yard at 52nd and Western.
The job paid 50 grand
a piece. That's it.
That's all I know.
I'm gonna give you a little pro tip.
Next time you take a
job from a psychopath,
I'd ask more questions.
We got to check out that train yard.
I'm taking every available
unit and heading out there now.
Wait. You are?
That son of a bitch came after
you, he came after Murphy.
Hell, he came after all of us.
It's time I got out on the
streets, made my feelings known.
(sirens blaring)
You know, you're the captain.
You could've taken one of the Caddies.
Hey, I let you put a
camera in it, didn't I?
Call me old-fashioned, but
I like my ride just fine.
1309, Squad.
Listen, you have to be careful.
I've seen what this guy can
do, and he's not messing around.
Copy that, 1309. Neither are we.
BRANDT: Easy there, crusher.
Me and Goss are the only two
cops who have ever come close
to busting this guy.
We're getting first crack at him.
CONRAD: I don't care who nails DV8.
We got to work together,
keep our eyes open.
God only knows how
he's gonna come at us.
(tires screeching)
Captain!
1309, Squad, we need an ambulance!
Conrad! Conrad, you okay?
Brandt, help me out with this!
You two, go check the other cars!
Dude just ran right through a red light.
(grunts)
No, he didn't. Brandt, look.
They're all green.
Squad, do you see this?
What the hell is going on?!
I'm trying to get into
the transportation system,
but something's wrong.
That's putting it mildly.
Someone has hacked the
entire transportation grid.
Someone?
Murphy
it's him.
Oh, I think his ribs are broken.
All right, all right. We
got you, Captain, right here.
What the hell is that?
I don't know. I found it
in the back of the cruiser.
It's space bandages or something.
FEMALE VOICE: Please
indicate your emergency.
Place the dressing labeled
A-15 on the wound

Hey, hey, hey, you
stay there! You back up!
Come on! Back up!
- Cobb, this is crazy.
- (tires screech, cars crash)
Oh, man.
- You okay? Okay.
- I'm good. I'm good.
1309, Squad, we got
multiple car accidents.
We need medical assistance now!
I see you, you bastard.
Paramedics are on the way, 1309,
but they're gonna be a while.
We have crashes across 30 blocks.
Ada, there has to be
a way into that system.
Yes, normally there would be,
but this hack isn't at
the central computer.
He must have hardwired his way
into one of the field offices.
How would he do that?
Because he has a small piece
of hardware called a "crowbar,"
and it punches a back door through
any system that it's wired into.
Like the thing he used
to hack Gideon's servers.
Yes, and that's how he
learned all of his secrets.
That's it. I am gonna
rip this guy a new
(yelling)
Hey, hey, hey.
- Captain, Captain.
- (groans)
Computer thing says you got to lay down.
Look, I don't take orders from
some talking first aid kit.
Besides, a lot of people got
bigger problems than me right now.
- Cap, we need to get you help.
- I got you. I got you.
(grunts) No.
A lot more people gonna get hurt
if we don't figure this out quick.
1309, Squad, how can we figure out
something to do with
this traffic situation?
Somebody has to get over to
the district transit authority,
find whatever they have
wired into the system,
- and
- Smash the hell out of it?
Once again, you read my mind.
All right. I need you two to get
to the district transit office
and do whatever it
takes to get back online.
- I'm not leaving the captain.
- Hey.
I made my first bust when
you two were in diapers.
Don't make the mistake
of disobeying orders.
Now go. Come on.
Yes, sir.
Cap, are you sure you're all right?
As long as you get out
there and shut this guy down,
I'll be just fine.
- Take care of him.
- All right?
(grunts)
Damn.
Mr. Reeves
Oh, good, you're still here.
I was hoping that you would stick around
to kick us while we're down.
You want to tell me what's going on?
Be a lot easier to tell
you what's not going on.
Um, we're trying to
keep the entire district
from falling apart.
Your ex is leading the charge.
(siren wailing)
So, what am I supposed
to tell the mayor?
That he's ugly.
That he's bald. Oh, how
about this? How about this?
Tell him we have a
district-wide cyber attack
on our infrastructure.
And if he knows anything about
massively parallel information
processing systems
we could use his help.
Otherwise, he should probably
just stick to pounding his desk
and blaming me for everything.
(siren wails)
(tires screeching)
GOSS: Man, I've seen a
lot of Chicago traffic,
but never like this.
You good?
No.
Captain was hurt back there,
and we just walked off.
- Just left him.
- Because he ordered us to.
Yeah, well, I don't
care. I don't like it.
- Don't like any of it.
- I can see that.
I screwed up. I saw that
car, I saw it coming.
Just going too fast. He was
going straight for the captain.
Oh, come on. You couldn't
have known that that car
You don't know that.
You don't know that. I ju I froze.
It was a car going 45 miles an hour.
It-It was chaos all around.
There was no way
Which is exactly why I
should have been on my game.
I've seen this before. I've seen
I've seen this overseas. Some guy,
he gets distracted, can't
do his job, people get hurt.
Brandt, listen to me.
You're not "some guy," all right?
You're my partner,
and right now we got a job to do.
So I'm gonna need you
to pull it together.
Yeah roger that.
(sniffles)
Squad, we're en route to the
transportation department now.
Copy, 1305. Keep us posted.
All right. I checked
all the police servers.
I didn't find any crowbars, router taps,
- or any other hardware hacks.
- All right, all right, good.
Maybe we've at least cleaned up
DV8's digital rat droppings
here at the station.
Hey, Murph, how's it going out there?
We're approaching the area, Squad,
but there's gonna be a hell
of a lot of ground to cover.
Okay. We got more units on the way.
We're gonna use the
drones as a perimeter.
Copy. The train yard our
suspect identified is up here.
(siren stops, engine shuts off)
Gideon.
Gideon, the car just went dead on me.
GIDEON: What? It what?
I repeat, the car is dead.
What? Get get all the body cams up.
1312, Squad, we're S.O.L., too.
Oh how the hell is he doing this?!
Some kind of remote hack
into our electrical systems.
He did the same thing
to me a few weeks ago.
I thought we were protected
against those kind of hacks.
Once again, under normal
circumstances, we would be.
But I wrote the software.
Danny and I had the same teacher,
and he knows all of my
tricks and then some.
So is anyone still rolling out there?
No, Gideon. He shut them all down.
Murphy, I don't know what to tell you.
Looks like we've had a
security breach of our own.
If he's coming at us this
hard, we have to be close.
We'll move by foot. Use the
drones to monitor the area.
Let's just get them out.
Okay, we're posting them
at major streets now.
Uh, what the hell?
Gideon, what's going on?
Pete, Pete, Pete.
Uh
I don't know. I don't know.
Some kind of malfunction.
Oh, I don't like the look of this.
Yeah. For once, Rookie, I'm with you.
Gideon, is that you?
That is definitely not me!
Get down now!
Gideon, we're under fire.
GIDEON: All right, all
right. Can you take cover
in one of the cruisers?
No, we're locked out.
There must be some kind
of stronger control signal
in the area overriding ours.
He's running the whole thing
through an AES algorithm.
He's broken the signal encryption?
How is DV8 doing any of this?
Gideon, he's the only
person I've ever met
who might be smarter than you.
I need you to do everything you can
to pinpoint DV8's location.
Pete, let go of that stick.
Earth to Pete!
I need you to get every bit
of jamming equipment we have
into the van right now.
MURPHY: Reyes, Cobb,
switch your guns to Taser.
Aim for the propellers!
Oh, sure, Detective.
Aim for the little toy helicopter props
a hundred feet away?
(grunts)
They're moving targets.
That's very observant, Rookie.
That also makes us sitting ducks.
All right, enough of this crap.
I'm gonna try something different.
- (screams)
- Cobb!
(yelling)
(grunts)
Go, Reyes. I'll cover you.
(grunts)
(grunts, pants)
- Cobb.
- What?
Come on, buddy, wake up. Wake up.
If you try and give me mouth-to-mouth,
I'm gonna shoot you myself.
(phones ringing)
Hold, please.
Hold, please.
District 13. Sergeant Charles.
How can I help you?
Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Mayor.
Hold one second, please.
Anybody seen Gideon?
Hello. I got the mayor on the line.
Somebody get me Gideon Reeves right now.
I'll take it. I'll take it.
Mr. Mayor, it's A.S.A. Murphy.
I called for Gideon Reeves.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. He's occupied.
Not for long. I just got off
the phone with Judge Barnett,
and I've got a court order
authorizing you to shut him down.
MURPHY: Squad, we're still under attack.
I'm afraid I can't do that, sir.
What the hell does that mean?
Sir, with all due respect,
it sounds like you want
to stop Gideon Reeves
more than the hacker going after him.
Now, that hacker may
be pulling the trigger,
but it's Reeves who put a
target on this city's back.
Now, I want them both gone,
and I want it done now.
Can you make that happen, Mr. Murphy?
No, sir, I can't.
My son's mother is out
there, and she is in danger.
And right now
Gideon Reeves is the only
one that can help her.
So if you want to shut down the 13th,
you're gonna have to do it yourself.
That's the sexiest
thing I've seen all day.
MAN: I clearly had the right of way.
That light was green.
How much farther to transit authority?
About a half hour on foot.
How about we don't do
it on foot? Right here.
(knocking on window) Chicago Police.
What? Did I do something wrong?
No, sir, but you can do something right.
Police emergency. We need
to borrow your vehicle.
(engine revs)
(tires screech)
(tires screech)
Oh.
Trying to assemble delicate
electronics back here.
I know, I know. But because
of all the traffic jams,
I'm trying to stick to the back streets.
I thought I told you
to organize this van.
Why would you put radio transmitters
next to solenoids?
(laughing): Because they're
in alphabetical order.
Who puts electronic parts
in alphabetical order?
Seriously? The same guy
who's gonna smash a chair
over his boss' head
if he doesn't quit yelling at him.
All right, fair enough.
(car horn honks)
(tires screech)
Oh, God.
Okay, okay.
Ah.
What are you doing?
Jamming the control signal
so I can finally land these bad boys.
- Really?
- You're damn right.
All right,
but you owe me 250,000 bucks.
(sighs)
DV8's got to be pretty close
to be able to break the
encryption on one of these.
Unfortunately, "close" isn't gonna do us
a whole lot of good right now.
We need an exact location.
I might be able to help you with that.
If you send me the drone's
radio signal log, I can use it
to find out where it was
being controlled from.
I like it.
He used our tech against us.
It's about damn time
we used his against him.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, Ada.
Now should be able to
download the information
from the signal that was used
to take down those drones.
Yeah. I'm hooking into our own
network of radio towers now.
Should be able to
find something shortly.
Are you sure you want to
depend on her for this?
Murphy, she can hear you right now.
I know.
GIDEON: Okay, okay.
She made mistakes.
I get it.
So have I, Murph.
Big juicy,
terrible mistakes
ever since I took over the 13th.
- That's not
- Look.
I have been disrupting
things all of my life
in the name of success.
Aerospace, robotics
I forced my kindergarten teacher
into an early retirement.
But you know what every last one
of those successes was built on?
My failures.
I got where I am
because I screwed up, Murph.
A whole lot.
I have a successful rocket company
because I blew up a
butt-load of rockets first.
And 'cause people
like Ada stuck with me,
even through those mistakes, all right?
We're still a team.
All right.
- I'm with you.
- All right, good.
'Cause it's really
freaking cold out here
and I'm running out of big
speech-y things to say, so
ADA: Gideon, I think I found something.
Now that's what I want to hear.
Where is he?
I that's the problem.
I don't know what kind of
security protocol he's using.
And his transmission
signal seems to be moving.
30 seconds ago, it was
coming from Ashland,
and now it's coming
from 35th and Archer?
What's he using, some
kind of proxy setup?
I mean, if he is,
it's incredibly advanced.
- He's on a train.
- What?
He's not using fancy software, Gideon.
He's on the 'L' train.
Ada, was he going southwest on Wabash?
Yeah. Yeah, he's on a train.
Now, see? Team. Right?
Ada, where can we find this guy?
Okay. If you guys head south,
you can probably intercept
him at the Dearborn train yard.
But I'm not gonna be
able to pinpoint him
closer than a few hundred feet.
GIDEON: Okay, one problem at a time.
Everyone, back to your posts now.
We got work to do.
- Ada.
- Hey.
What's the situation?
Um, we might have a
location for Danny Reghabi.
Good.
What about Brandt and Goss?
Any progress getting the
district moving again?
It's hell out there.
Yes. Th-they're approaching
the transit building now.
CONRAD: 1305.
What's your status?
BRANDT: 1305, Squad.
We had a, uh, transportation issue,
but, uh, we worked it out.
Yeah, but it looks like the D-21 cops
already beat us to the punch.
Hey. What's going on?
Security guard got killed.
Bullet to the back of the head.
Squad, District 21 is on-site
investigating a homicide.
We're definitely in the right place,
but we got no idea
what we're looking for.
Okay. What you're looking for
is a telecom center.
It's gonna be away from the computers.
It's a place where sensitive electronics
are wired up for transmission.
It's probably where DV8 was able to hack
with a small piece of hardware.
You sure he hasn't tapped
into their computer?
No. The system is fine.
It's just that the, uh, signal
keeps getting hijacked
before it can make its way
to the transportation grid.
Honey, I understand about a
third of what you just said.
Just tell me where
we're supposed to look.
I'm thinking if he
killed a security guard,
he must've needed to
get inside the building,
which means he's not doing
anything on the ground floor.
There's a hell of a
lot of crap up there.
Yep, which means a hell of a
lot of ways to mess stuff up.
Let's go.
1309, what's your 20?
GIDEON: We're getting close, Squad.
All right, my access to the
district transpo system is limited,
but my best guess is
that you're looking for
the train that came in on Track 7.
That train is scheduled to make
a stop for a track change
now.
Is-is there any way that
you guys can make it?
MURPHY: Already did.
There, there.
- It's got to be that one, right?
- (air hissing)
All right, listen up,
we need to be careful.
This guy's been working on
killing us since yesterday.
We give him another shot,
he's not gonna hesitate.
ADA: Okay, guys,
according to the system,
this track change
doesn't take very long,
- so you don't have much time.
- You have to get a move on.
Right, 'cause we've been
standing around all day?
(train horn blows)
Go!
MURPHY: This car's empty.
Head for the side door.
Go, go, go! Come on.
(grunts)
All aboard.
BRANDT: She was right,
there's a hell of a lot of gak up here.
GOSS: "High voltage, keep out"?
You got to be kidding me.
Ada didn't say anything
about getting fried to death.
Now, what are we looking for, exactly?
Something that looks like
it doesn't belong in there.
Hey.
Hey.
You with me?
Yeah.
Those are a lot of wires.
I don't even know where to start.
Wait, what's that?
Right there, come here.
You see that?
Is that it?
This is not good, we
got to call somebody,
the power company, or
We don't have that kind of time,
people are getting hurt out there.
Ugh. Okay.
All right, all right, I'm on it.
Now, it looks like the only
way through is-is right here,
but I don't, I don't have
eyes on the damn thing.
No, no, no, no, I can see it from here.
But you're gonna have to make the reach,
my arms aren't long enough.
- Are you serious?
- I can guide you.
Look, we can do this, Brandt.
This is what the
captain ordered us to do.
Look, come on, man, the longer we wait,
the worse it's gonna
get out there. Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
(clears throat)
(breathing heavily)
Okay, uh
lower your hand about half an inch.
A little higher.
Oh, stay-stay to the
right, stay to the right.
Whoa, whoa, watch the wires.
- Watch the wi
- (crackling, Brandt grunts)
Damn it!
Ah!
Brandt, you okay?
(shudders)
Hey, hey.
(sighs heavily)
You can do this.
You can do this.
(softly): Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
(breathing heavily)
You got me?
I got you.
Whoa, stay to the right.
There.
Uh, little higher.
There.
That's good, you're touching it.
You got it.
(grunting)
Yes!
Ah!
(groans)
Ah!
(laughs)
1305, Squad.
Be advised, the
transmitter's been located
and neutralized.
- ADA: Yes!
-
(train horn blows)
We have any idea where this guy is?
He has to be in one of these cars.
How are we covering each other
going through these doors?
I didn't say it was gonna be easy.
You wait back here, Gideon.
I'm pretty much all-in
on this one, Murph.
Hey, uh, Ada?
I need you to get the cruisers to us
soon as they're back online.
Oh, tell Pete to get me the jammer.
We're gonna need everything we got.
Yeah, without access to his system,
that's not gonna do us much good.
Huh.
I think maybe I can help with that.
- Gideon, wait.
- No, no, no, no time to wait.
Okay, got his computers, yes.
So, looks like a wireless
transmission system.
(lights buzzing)
Well, look who's here.
Uh-uh.
That's enough.
Screw you.
(Taser crackles)
Screw you.
(grunts)
You like it? It's called a hot suit.
A lot of power company guys wear them
when they're working on the lines.
The metal threading helps protect you
from high voltage shock.
Oh, also cops who think they can trust
a fascist billionaire's tech.
- Danny?
- I prefer DV8, thanks.
And whatever you're
about to tell me about
putting my gun down or not
making this worse for myself,
you can save your breath.
Drop your guns.
Or the genius mind of Gideon Reeves
gets splattered all over this train.
GIDEON: Okay, so
just tell us what you want.
Oh, my friend, that list is long.
Well, you don't have much time.
What do you think, you're just gonna
just ride in this train forever?
You think we're actually
gonna let you shoot him
and just walk away?
We're not gonna let you do that.
The thing is, you're not
really in a great position
to bargain, Officer Murphy.
And I've got myself a few billion
dollars' worth of hostage here.
Captain, you're needed
at the front desk.
- Not now.
- It's urgent, sir, the FBI is here.
(sighs)
Ada, I'll be back soon as I can.
Okay, yeah.
Murphy, is there any way
you can buy some time?
I think I can stop the train.
Okay.
Let's just let's just calm down.
You have all the power here,
so why don't you just
tell us how this goes?
Yeah.
Let's talk like rational
okay, maybe not rational, all right?
Intelligent, yes?
Let's talk like
intelligent human beings.
- Unbelievable.
- What?
Even with a gun to your head,
you can't keep your smart mouth shut?
This whole 13th district
experiment, it ends today.
In fact, it's already started.
So, Ada, if you're watching,
tell the feds I say hi.
CONRAD: What the hell do
you think you're doing?
We have a warrant for her arrest.
Look, she is in the middle of dealing
with a hostage situation.
And we're in the middle
of an investigation.
We have information she was involved
in multiple federal crimes.
I'm telling you,
we have an authorization and a warrant.
CONRAD: Look, this is my personnel here.
This is my district!
(sighs)
What did you do?
I held her accountable, that's all.
Now, you're angry with me.
Why punish Ada?
'Cause she's just as guilty as you are.
Maybe even more so.
She was one of us
before she started
helping you turn this city
into your own little police state.
MURPHY (whispering): Please, Ada.
I'm trying to get into the
transportation computers.
I'm working as fast as I can.
You're interfering in a case.
You're putting lives in danger.
She is in direct violation
of a federal plea agreement.
Are you sure you want to
thump your badge at us?
Look, we're far from perfect.
But we're trying to protect people.
Is that right?
Well, today they're gonna find out
just how well-protected they are.
- They're all gonna know.
- How, exactly?
Let's just say there's gonna
be a little demonstration
of just how powerless the mighty
13th district really is, Detective.
Look, you don't need to do this.
One more step and he dies.
CONRAD: Okay, wait, hold on, hold on.
- I need to talk
- Adelaide Hamilton.
- You're under arrest.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
God, come on.
(beeping)
(brakes screech)
Drop it! You're under arrest.
And I'm not in Taser mode, smart-ass.
You got him?
Yeah. But now we have to stop him.
MURPHY: Just sit your ass right
there. We're not through with you yet.
What are all these for?
Okay, without Ada here to help
me sort it out, I'm not sure.
But this one was disabling the cruisers
and I got those back online.
A lot of this stuff here
looks like it was for
hacking the drones.
And the rest?
Well, that's what I'm worried about.
This one.
There's mapping software
and some sort of
servo control mechanism?
- I-I
- Meaning?
It's for
remotely controlling devices.
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
It's targeting software
for an automated weapon.
What? Where is it?
Uh hard to be 100% sure.
The mapping overlay is for downtown.
That's between Wacker and Michigan.
Gideon, that's where City Hall is.
- Can we stop it?
- No. No, it's
it's an automated program.
It would take too long
to break the encryption.
Then we'll break him.
We found your little
surprise. Turn it off now.
Why on earth would I do that?
Don't dig yourself a deeper hole.
Oh, the hole isn't mine.
It's a grave for the 13th district.
I've thought a lot
about this, Mr. Reeves,
how to end your experiment for good.
Nobody seems to mind the
cops killing innocent people.
But I think a bloody
corpse or two at City Hall
might shake everybody's faith
in the Gideon Reeves
revolution, don't you?
Please. You've made your point.
No, I haven't.
Not until I bring
your brave new world
to an end.
MURPHY: He's stalling.
We need to get to downtown
before it's too late.
- Enjoy the show.
- Shut the hell up.

As I'm sure you know,
this has been a difficult
day for the City of Chicago.
And we'll be sorting
out exactly what happened
for some time to come.
But right now one thing
is painfully clear:
the technological experiment
launched in our 13th district
by billionaire Gideon Reeves has failed.
(engine revs, tires screech)
(siren wailing)
What are you doing? The drones
GIDEON: No, no, no,
it's not for the drones.
Then what?
Reeves has talked about
making our city safer.
(motor whirring)
The trouble is,
his own ego,
his own arrogance
has gotten in the way.
All right, this jams
electrical signals, right?
So, DV8 has an automated
sniper rifle out there.
If I can scramble the electronics,
I might be able to stop it.
But I just need to remove
the regulator circuits,
so it transmits a wider
range of frequencies.
Just spare me the details and
make sure you fry that thing.
Reeves talks about improvements,
he talks about revolution,
he talks about disruption.
But where does he talk about
the people impacted
by his reckless reforms?
Sure, the world is changing,
and change is good.
But what happens
