Chicago P.D. (2014) s11e07 Episode Script

Noah Gorman, 19 years old.
His eyes were stapled open.
This was sadistic.
Someone got pleasure
out of torturing him.
Noah came out as
gay two months ago.
His family kicked him out.
They said that Noah is
no longer their son.
Any leads on Noah's abductor?
No, not yet.
But there will be.
Who the hell are you?
I'm gonna be right here until
you're able to talk to me.
He had nowhere to go.
Stop! No!
I'm sorry, the nightmares.
Oh, it's okay.
Just got home.
Can I get you something?
No, I'm just gonna get a water.
Let me get it for you
I'll do it myself, thanks.
Ah!
Sorry.
It's okay.
You know, those those
resources I mentioned
I don't want them.
Okay.
I just want to forget.
I want to sleep.
Well, you change your
mind, you just let me know.
And they do work.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Pulled an all-nighter,
figured you'd be here.
Thanks.
Anything?
No.
And Noah?
Hasn't said a word about
what happened to him.
Still having nightmares.
Who wouldn't, I suppose.
I got a detail
sitting on my house,
keeping an eye on him.
It's like there's
no life in him yet.
There will be.
We see it every
day. People recover.
He can't stay at your
house forever, Hank.
It's gonna make the case
complicated for the jury.
It's just till he gets better.
He's still refusing support.
Hey, our investigative
alert on Noah popped.
What do we got?
A body.
Chances are, the thing
washed up a while ago.
This stretch doesn't
get much foot traffic
during this time of year.
So who spotted it?
One of ours.
He was patrolling
near the shore,
clocked it from afar.
The barrel could have gotten
dislodged from elsewhere
or just floated up
from the depths here.
- Huh.
- Either way,
it's been in the water a while.
As soon as we
logged the body in,
your investigative alert popped.
You found it like this?
Right there at the waterline.
We just pulled it to shore.
They were in that
water for some time.
The cold kept them preserved.
Guess we can count
ourselves lucky there,
but there's no way I'll
be able to tell you
exact time of death.
Best guess?
One to three months.
They're both young.
Guessing Jane Doe
1 is a teenager.
The other can't
be older than 25.
We're rushing dental and prints,
should have IDs for you soon.
And the wounds?
Got signs of bindings on both
wrists, ankles.
Jane Doe 2 has bruising
around her stomach.
There are six stab
wounds on each.
The stab wounds
are placed to avoid
any major organs, arteries.
Placed so they'd bleed out slow.
I'll know more once
the autopsy is done.
You staying for the full?
Yeah, any companies
that manufacture
those oil barrels, all years.
Thanks.
Izzy and Maria Pereda.
They're sisters. Izzy
was 18, Maria 20.
Chicago locals.
Anyone report them missing?
No, but Izzy had a short sheet.
She was popped once
for prostitution,
once for possession.
Every wound the sisters have
are exact matches with Noah's.
So we're saying we
have a serial killer?
Just brief the team.
Call in Chapman. I'll
loop in a profiler.
CPD has a profiler?
No, not officially.
If she's not at her desk,
then she should be back here.
She thinks if you dull the
senses, it helps you focus.
- Huh.
- Right through there.
Good luck.
- Thanks.
Detective Petrovic?
Hello?
Excuse me, Detective Petrovic?
Sergeant Hank
Voight, Intelligence.
Y-you have a juvenile case?
Actually, I've got
a serial killer.
Chicago has no active
serial killers,
and I don't work cold cases.
- No, this is active.
It's not a beneficial
use of my time.
- It's just new.
- I would have heard.
It hasn't been released yet.
Look, I-I've got three bodies.
Three?
I can feel you assessing me.
It's distracting.
Please stop.
Yeah.
These wounds are far too concise
to be coincidental.
Depth, wound type
it's the same offender.
And his profile?
You do know I'm not
a certified profiler.
I've heard your reputation.
Mm, and I've heard yours too.
Can't all be true.
Okay.
On first thought
which, to be clear, is a
thought and is my first
these crimes are motivated by
a pleasure in pain, sadism.
The offender is organized.
This guy will have a job.
He'll appear stable.
He's above average intelligence.
Doesn't appear
sexually motivated,
but that's harder to pinpoint.
Power and control can be sexual.
Uh, who was the first
victim, Noah, with?
Noah was found alone.
But he survived.
He didn't tell you
who he was with?
He hasn't been able to
tell us much of anything.
Hmm.
Well
The bindings on the
sisters are different.
One was standing bound,
the other sitting.
That's why there's bruising
on her stomach, ligatures.
But the eyes
They were made to watch
each other bleed out,
watch each other's pain.
That's part of the why.
Noah wasn't alone.
Hm.
The Mexican rain
forest serves as home
to one of the loudest animals
on Earth, the howler monkey.
Normally a youngling
of this size
would be clutching
his mother's back.
Hey.
This little fella is
braving the treetops
on his own today, out
for a spot of lunch.
When fully grown, the
bone in its neck
Noah, I want to
talk to you, okay?
I'm gonna turn this
down. Is that all right?
This howl is used to warn
Okay?
We found two bodies today.
They were hurt in
the same way you were.
It's the same person.
I need to ask you a
question about that night.
It's okay. Hey, you're okay.
You're safe.
Hey, you're safe. You're
right here with me.
You're okay.
There.
Was somebody else
with you that night?
Were you not alone?
All right, that's it. Okay.
Thank you.
Who? Who was with you?
Okay. Okay. No, no, no.
Hey, hey, we're done.
We're done. That's
all we're gonna do.
Easy, easy. We're
just gonna breathe.
We're gonna breathe. Hey,
you're right here with me.
Come on, breathe in.
Come on.
Nice and deep. You can do it.
There you go.
That's it. Let it go.
That's it. That's it.
Come on, nice and
deep, nice and smooth.
See? You're right here with me.
You're okay. You're safe.
Yeah, Noah seemed to be
confirming he wasn't alone,
and then, I mean, he panicked.
He said nothing else?
No. Once he calmed
down, he fell asleep.
I mean
I don't know how to press him
further without the panic.
I mean, it's his instinct.
His brain's still
processing what happened.
Add to it that his parents
told him he'd be punished
for being gay, this
kid probably thinks
the hand of God hurt him,
is resting on his shoulder.
Detective Josephine
"Petrovick," SVU.
Uh, Petrovic, but Jo.
Yeah, she's gonna be helping
us out here while she can.
All right, what do we have
on the Pereda sisters?
Both girls were born and
raised in Chicago, West Side.
Parents died when
they were young,
have little family left.
Mm-hmm, Izzy Pereda was
the youngest sister.
She was addicted to heroin,
and she worked as a prostitute
to support that habit.
According to their social media,
the older sister,
Maria, was trying
to get her out of that
life, but was unsuccessful.
Izzy clearly loved her sister,
but her last arrest was
only two months ago.
Right before they
both disappeared.
Credit card usage, social
media, all telephone,
everything stopped
for both sisters
exactly two months ago.
That's when we believe
they were taken.
All right, any connect to Noah?
Nothing concrete.
All have little family,
few to report them missing.
It's possible that Noah
was selling himself.
Possible sex work
is our connect.
Perpetrator could easily
be a john or a pimp.
Hm.
All right, what
about the barrels?
What do we got there?
- No prints or DNA.
They were in the water too long.
And those barrels are generic.
They're manufactured en masse.
I got something. When
Izzy Pereda was popped
for prostitution,
she was bailed out
by this guy right here.
This is Manuel
Tovar, known to Vice.
He's a working Romeo pimp.
Lives with his girls,
never lets 'em out of his sight.
Uh, he uses a website
to attract johns.
Now, he's got no
priors for assault,
but, uh, Vice was pretty clear,
he's with those girls 24-7.
So if our offender
followed the same MO,
stalked and abducted Izzy
Chances are, at the very
least, he saw something.
All right, let's go.
We know where he lives?
- Yeah.
All right, we're up.
Torres, I got eyes on you.
We play it nice and steady.
There's no way Tovar talks
to us without charges.
Just stay hidden until
cash is exchanged.
Copy that. I'm in.
Room's empty.
Tovar's girl we
hired isn't here yet.
Copy you, Torres.
No sign of the girl or
Tovar on the east side.
I got something.
I got a male headed
your way, Torres.
Looks like security.
Can I help you?
- You Eddie?
- Yeah.
Put your hands out.
Now.
- I'm clean.
- No drugs, alcohol?
Gonna party with
your girlfriend?
No.
What's your full name, Eddie?
I'm not I'm not
telling you my full name.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
Okay?
I
I booked a girl online,
and you already know that,
so we don't have to do
all the 20 questions.
We good or not?
Here they are.
Yeah, I got a positive on Tovar.
Is this our girl?
Yeah, looks right, but, Sarge,
she looks way younger than 18.
Then our charges
will be stronger.
Hi.
You you gonna leave?
Money. I take your cash.
There's 150.
That's our go. Move.
We're made. Crash now.
- Chicago PD!
- PD!
Chicago PD!
Let me see your
hands. Get over there.
Get down, get down, get
down. Hands on the bed.
- Where's Tovar?
- I got the girls.
Ruz, I'm entering!
Uh!
Turn around.
Put your hands behind your back.
Behind your back.
- Tovar takes care of me.
- He takes care of you
because you make his money.
- He's my boyfriend.
You know this isn't
about hooking, right?
We know she lived in
the same motel as you.
Yeah, so?
Okay.
We're not wasting time.
We have you for charges
of resisting arrest,
assault against the police,
and sex trafficking.
I'm dating those women.
They're girls.
And no, you're not.
I don't need 'em to
make these charges.
I think they will talk
when they see these photos.
Uh-huh.
You think I did that to her?
No.
I think she was making
you way too much money
for you to kill her.
Okay, then why am I here?
'Cause I think
you know something
about what happened to her.
No, I don't.
She was stalked,
hunted like prey.
This offender, he likes
to watch his victims,
follow them, play with them.
He likes to learn them
before he pounces.
Izzy was followed, then
abducted violently,
taken into the night.
I'm right?
Tell me what I got right.
What would I get for talking?
What'd you have to give him?
His deal is for one count,
dismisses the underage charges.
Tovar didn't know Noah,
didn't recognize him.
Never noticed anyone
stalking Izzy.
But he did see the abduction.
Two months ago, late at night,
he hears screaming outside.
Looks out his motel window.
He sees someone beating Izzy.
He assumes it's a john,
so he goes outside
to confront him,
and he filmed it all.
What, for his own safety?
Yeah, in case he
was ever brought in.
Hey, yo. Yo!
What the hell are you doing?
That's my girl!
Get away from her!
Let her go! I said, she's mine!
I got you on film, you bitch!
You're a dead man!
This guy is smart.
His clothing is
indistinguishable.
I mean, I can't find a
single label from any angle.
Gloves and mask are generic too.
He could have bought
them anywhere.
- The car?
- Nothing yet.
Same story. It's hot.
Somehow staying off camera.
Why a pipe for his weapon?
Maybe there's something there.
Pipe from a job,
his house, garage.
Thought the same thing.
But again, nothing
distinguishable here.
I-I can't seem to get
a make or a model.
There's got to be
something here.
This is a good lead.
Offender can't be this
skilled, this organized.
We've got two abductions
caught on tape,
and we have nothing to go on?
- What about Maria?
- No.
No reports of 911
calls in her area.
It's just like she fell
off the face of the Earth.
And we still don't
know who Noah was with.
There's got to be
something here.
And we need more.
We need way more.
Noah?
Hey, Noah?
Thank you for the phone.
You're welcome.
I need to talk to you, don't I?
Yeah.
I want to give you time.
You know, I know you need time.
But look, Noah
This offender,
he's out there right now.
I don't know how.
I know.
If I think about it
I feel like I'm back there.
Like I'm dying.
Like he's dying.
And then I can't breathe.
It hurts.
I get it.
You know, sometimes you
remind me of my son.
And there are so
many things with him
I don't like thinking about.
He died.
I don't like thinking about how
it hurts.
So sometimes I try not
to think about it at all.
And I don't think that's right.
Maybe we owe it to them
to think about things,
since we're still here.
Okay.
But can we go
somewhere else to talk?
Noah, we can go anywhere.
I-I found this place the
first week I got here.
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's a
really good find.
The music school doesn't
mind if you sit out here.
They get it.
That's nice.
I used to play music in church.
It was the only thing
about that place I loved.
I'd bring Paul here.
Is that who you were
with that night, Paul?
Yeah.
Yeah, Paul Hansen.
Okay.
I remember waking up,
and I was tied up.
I couldn't see the man.
He took his mask
off, but he had these
lights in my eyes.
I knew I was gonna die.
And he told me I
wasn't, you know?
He said I had a chance to live.
He gave me one call.
He said to call the person
I loved most in the world.
He told me to call Paul.
I didn't want to die.
And it it was a trick.
But I didn't want to
die, so I called Paul.
Yeah, I would have
done the same thing.
No. No.
He told me to tell him that
I had a surprise for him.
Paul came.
Then the man attacked him.
He tied him up, and then he
He hurt you both.
Yeah. Okay, okay.
Take your time.
The man got some phone call,
so he had to step away.
And he didn't know that
one of my ties was loose,
so I got away.
But Paul
He was dead?
I felt for a pulse.
He was gone.
Okay.
I ran.
I'm glad you ran.
It's a good thing
you got out of there.
I left him.
I kissed him
goodbye, and I left.
I love him,
and I left him.
It was all my fault.
- No.
- For loving him.
- No.
- I'm being punished.
- No, no, no.
No, no, he was taken away
from me because I'm wrong.
No, no, you're not wrong.
Hey.
- I just want him back.
Hey, hey, I know.
I get it.
Noah, listen to me.
You did good, okay?
Thank you for telling me.
That's it, just take a breath.
You did great.
Sounds like Paul
was his boyfriend.
I mean, they haven't
known each other long,
just since Noah
arrived in Chicago.
We ran him.
Paul Hansen, 24,
Chicago resident,
in and out of homeless shelters
and halfway homes in
the past two years.
Two pops for prostitution.
Looks like he was doing
what he needed to to get by.
Sex work is our
common link after all.
And no one reported
Paul missing?
No, and no pops in any morgues
or hospitals in the area.
We're working on last knowns,
in-service calls, phone
records, you name it.
Hey, let's run that
photo by Tovar.
Yeah, I did. Tovar
didn't know him,
never seen him on any tracks.
Okay, we loop in Vice?
Yes, they're culling
their records now.
All right, let's also have
them run anyone in their system
that also pops for
violent priors.
If our offender's choosing
his victims based on sex work,
chances are, Vice knows him.
- No.
No, no, no, it's
more than just that.
He he's choosing them because
they have someone they love.
The Pereda sisters,
Noah and Paul,
they loved each other,
had deep connection.
And then he forces them
to watch each other die,
seeps that connection
out of them,
steals it for himself.
Yo, I found Paul
on an escort site.
It looked like he was
working independently,
but I found a nexus
between him and Izzy.
A judge?
Sarge, believe it or not,
both Izzy and Paul's files
came across Judge Balen's desk.
Could be coincidental.
No. Look at that.
The judge's number pops on
both of their phone records,
and the same number is
used on a dummy profile
to access both escort sites.
That man's a john.
That's how Tovar ID'd him.
It could fit.
Balen would have acute
knowledge of law enforcement.
It explains the avoidance
of traffic cams,
pristine crime scenes.
He could easily trace his
victims through the system,
ID them based on files
that come across his desk.
Let's go.
Like I said, he's in chambers.
And like I said, I'll wait.
I usually don't leave people
unattended in his office.
Would you like to
see my badge again?
No. No, of course not.
Right this way.
I don't understand.
What's going on?
You can't come in here.
Why can't I call my husband?
- Ma'am.
- What? Wait.
This has to be a
misunderstanding.
What is going on?
Here's our search
warrant, ma'am, okay?
How about we step aside
and I can talk you
through it, okay?
- Detective?
- Sergeant.
Is everything okay?
Is my wife all right?
Oh, your wife is fine.
I'm here for you.
How can I help you?
I'm happy to help
you with warrants
No, I'm here for you.
For you.
And Izzy and Maria Pereda,
Noah Gorman,
Paul Hansen.
I don't understand.
I think you do.
Evidence officer.
Yeah, just a sec.
If you're here to
accuse me of something,
I hope you've thought
of the consequences.
Boss, we have it.
Take him.
Copy you, Adam.
Are you you can't
be referring to me.
Take take me where?
- Yeah, I'm not gonna
play games with you.
I'll give you one chance
to talk to me here,
where it's comfortable,
before the press get involved,
before your family,
before you're sitting
in a cold box.
One chance right now.
Go ahead. What do
you have to say?
Talk.
Come on, talk. Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'd like to call my lawyer.
Turn around.
Give me your hands.
Well, I'm not bringing
those photos in here,
but you know what they are.
We found them in your house,
in your cabinet, Judge.
I mean, you know the
charging guidelines.
Child pornography
is a Class X felony.
My client has no comment
about any of that.
No, see, I think he does.
I think he wants to talk,
maybe have a good cry.
I mean, you should let him.
You feel pretty bad,
don't you, Judge?
- This is not productive.
- You need a good cry?
You want to avoid
the child porn?
Okay, we can come back to that.
Let's talk about the prostitute
that I can prove
you frequented
Who is now dead.
She's dead? What is this?
She's dead,
along with her sister
And Paul Hansen.
No. Wait, wait.
Yes, I know him
- I can't help you
if you continue to
ignore my advice.
I know you know Paul Hansen.
His case came across your desk.
You got his phone number.
I mean, you kept track of him.
I mean, you liked Paul Hansen
for some reason, didn't you?
He was kind. He was sweet.
And you liked him.
But he didn't want a real
connection with you, did he?
- No. No.
- No, he loved someone else.
He didn't love you.
And you wanted it.
You wanted that for
yourself, didn't you?
Please.
You wanted to know what it
felt like, right, Judge,
to be loved that way?
Hey.
Wha No-Noah.
Noah, slow down.
Slow down.
No Noah, I I
I can't understand you.
We have a bad connection.
Can you say that again?
Now, what's going on?
What if I was wrong?
What if he was
never really dead?
I think he's okay.
I don't have to
live without him.
Wait, okay, Noah, where
are you right now?
Are you still at my house?
No. I had to sneak out.
I went out the window.
He told me to.
He said he got away.
I was wrong. He's not dead.
Paul? P-Paul told
you he's not dead?
Yeah. I'm going to meet him now.
He he told me where to go.
I get to be with him again.
I get him back.
Noah.
Noah, how did Paul
tell you that?
He texted me.
He texted me from his phone.
He's alive. He's okay.
Listen to me, Noah.
This doesn't make sense.
Paul is dead.
Look, you took his pulse.
You said you knew for sure.
But maybe I was wrong.
I want him back.
Yeah, can I get
an emergency ping
on Noah Gorman's
cell phone number?
All right, tell me
where you are right now.
He said to meet
him in the woods.
No, no, no, no.
No. Listen to me.
I need you to leave.
I want you to go
back to my house.
I'm I'm gonna meet you there.
- Yeah, Noah Gorman.
Can you tell me how
long it's been active?
Did Judge Balen have
access to a phone?
Besides calling his lawyer,
hell no, I verified it.
All right, send me his
coordinates when you have them.
- Copy.
- Noah.
Noah, did you leave?
No. I have to find him.
I need you to
leave. I need you
I need you to get somewhere
with people right now.
No, it's Paul. He's alive.
He is. He has to be.
- Noah, no.
No, you want him to be.
Paul isn't alive.
He's dead. You know that.
You saw that.
Look, this isn't Paul, Noah.
Someone is luring you.
Okay, I need you
to go right now.
Sarge, Noah's
coordinates are pinging
on the east side of
the forest preserve.
I can't get you any
closer than that.
All right, copy. Just ping
Paul's phone right now.
I'm on it.
Noah, are you still there?
Noah.
- I just want him back.
I don't want to be alone.
I just I just want
to see him again.
Noah, I know you do.
I know that.
Just turn around for me, okay?
I'll be there
The caller you have
reached is not available.
Noah!
Noah, call out if
you can hear me!
Noah!
Noah!
Noah Gorman, call out!
Chicago police!
Noah! Call out!
Noah!
Noah, can you hear us?
Noah!
Noah!
Noah, call out!
Boss, we just got confirmation
that both Paul and Noah's
phones are off now.
It was Paul's phone
that texted him?
Yeah.
Phone records indicate Noah's
been calling Paul's phone
from the new phone you got him.
We think he just wanted to hear
his voicemail, hear his voice.
How the offender
got Noah's number.
Yeah.
There's no cameras or
PODs in the entryway,
but we're checking all
traffic cams in the area.
Judge Balen?
Judge has a concrete alibi
for the time of
Izzy's abduction,
but he confessed to the
solicitation charges.
Sex charges are airtight,
so he's gonna have some legal
troubles in his future
I got something.
Yeah, there's more over here.
