Tonight’s episode of Chicago PD kicks off with Hank arriving at the scene of a reported shooting with his team – they rush inside a convenient store with their guns drawn, they find a man dead in the back room. He appeared to be standing guard at a door that leads to upstairs. Hank’s team heads upstairs and finds a bunch of bunk beds. There are half a dozen women and kids hiding in one of the rooms.
One of the women is lying on the ground bleeding to death, she was shot too. Jay and some of the guys start tending to the kids. Hank learns that it was a battered women’s shelter in a secret location – so that their abusers couldn’t find them. Apparently, someone found the shelter though. Erin learns that the woman that got shot in the neck is Jess, she runs the shelter. And the guy guarding the door also worked at the shelter, and his name is Edwin.
Erin questions one of the girls about the shooter. She said that the guy ran in the room and he had a hat pulled down, she couldn’t see his face. All she knows is that he was white. Hank learns that there are three women unaccounted for – apparently, they fled the building when the gunman opened fire and no one knows where they went, or their full names. Jess wanted all of the women to stay anonymous, they didn’t tell each other their real names, or where they were from.
Antonio and Olinsky get to work tracking down possible leads. Jess’s husband was violent and he just got out of jail a few months ago. They find Jared at work – he is shocked to hear what happened to Jess, but he insists that he is innocent, and his alibi checks out. It looks like he isn’t their man.
One of the witnesses that fled the shelter shows up at the police station. She says that the shooter showed up at the house, and was trying to get Val – but Jess was standing in front of her and wouldn’t leave. She doesn’t know Val’s last name, all she knows is what school she went to in Indiana years ago. She picks out a photo of Val from an old yearbook and positively ID’s her for Erin. Afterwards, Erin promises to find her a new shelter to stay in.
Val’s real name is Valerie Hoult, Hank pulls her files and they learn that she had a restraining order against her boyfriend Reed Danzig – he has warrants out for his arrest for beating Val with a blunt object and assaulting his own mother. They head to an address on file for a man named Malcolm – who bailed Danzig out the last time he was arrested.
Hank and his team head to the address – they find two dead bodies, one of them is Reed Danzig – Val’s ex-boyfriend and the other is his pal Malcolm. They also find a bloody hammer in a sink where someone was trying to clean up the murder scene, and a table covered in dope that was being packaged to sell. There is no sign of Valerie though.
Meanwhile, Burgess and Roman are working on a case of their own. A man was catfished by a woman named Carmela, who turned out to be a man. When the victim met up with the man, he robbed him and stole his wedding ring. The profile was deleted off the dating app. Burgess and Roman decide to create a fake profile on the app and try to lure out Carmela.
Hank and his team think that Valerie may have escaped with Danzig’s car before he and Malcolm were murdered – or she may have even murdered them herself. They do some digging and learn that Valerie had a son that passed away – they head to the cemetary and find Val at his grave crying – she’s safe and sound, but obviously upset.
Back at the police station, Val explains that the man took her from the home, and she had never seen him before. He took her to Malcolm’s house and made her stand in front of the peep hole so that Malcolm and Denzig would open the door. Then when he barged inside, Val made a run for it. Val says that Denzig stole all of the dope that he was trying to package from a club owner named Ainge, and she thinks he may be responsible for killing them.
Ainge comes in for questioning – of course he denies all allegations of the drugs, or having any thing to do with Malcolm and Denzig’s deaths. The fingerprints on the hammer come back – they belong to Val. Erin storms in to the interrogation room and demands to know why Val’s prints were on the hammer. Val insists that she didn’t kill Denzig. She claims that the kidnapper handed her the hammer and told her to kill him, but she didn’t have the heart to do it.
Hank pulls photos of all of Ainge’s known associates and employees – Val ID’s one of them as the kidnapper and they rush to the last known address. When Hank and his men arrive, someone opens fire on them in the dark. A shoot-out ensues, and Hank winds up killing Dinzeg and Malcom’s killer.
Back at the police station, the DA tells Hank to drop it – they got the killer, they should be happy. Hank knows that Ainge is responsible for the whole thing though, and he wants him to pay for it. Hank heads to Ainge’s nightclub. He kicks out security so that he can talk to Ainge in private. Hank tells him that he knows he is responsible, he gives Ainge 24 hours to leave his city, and if he doesn’t – Hank promises that they will “take a ride together, and he will show him parts of Chicago that he has never seen.”
THE END!
