In tonight’s Chicago PD episode, Voight was almost killed. He faced down a serial killer a few months back. He was left badly injured. His one saving grace at the time was Detective Upton. He treated her like a daughter. She was there for him after he lost his only child and Lindsay who was a foster daughter.
Voight didn’t have much outside of work, but he thought he could always count on Upton. It then broke his heart when she left Chicago. She needed to start over because she was facing her own trauma. She couldn’t heal unless she faced her demons. And she couldn’t do that if she pulled a Voight by throwing herself into work.
Voight was barely functioning as it is. Upton didn’t want to settle for that. Or end up like him. She left Chicago. Voight needed to fill her space in the Intelligence unit and that’s where Detective Emily Martel came in.
Martel hit the ground running with the new unit. They were overloaded with cases. Voight was working at all hours of the day. Martel was the one that got stuck with the paperwork. Atwater reassured her that it wasn’t always like this. Voight was taking every case that comes because it stops him from thinking about Upton.
Not that Atwater mentioned Upton to Martel.
Also, Martel didn’t mind the paperwork. She was alphabetizing everything. She got a whole system up and running. She also got to reconnect with Ruzek. They met at the police academy and have been friends ever since. She even has a nickname for him. He begged her not to call him that in front of the quad only it was too late.
Atwater was now calling him Rizzy. They were mocking Ruzek when Voight responded to a scene. Voight was called into a drug den after someone beat up the drug dealer with a lock inside of a sock. And then forced both down the drug dealer’s throat.
The whole drug den thing meant the witnesses weren’t that reliable. They were either high or jonsing to get high. It was going to be a tough case. Voight knew that when he responded and he still asked for the case to come to his unit. It should have gone to Narcotics.
Ruzek even told Voight that Narcotics held jurisdiction. Voight ignored both the man as well as what he was saying. He also didn’t care about the many cases they were still doing paperwork for. He took this case. His team was simply forced to go along.
Voight also found a way to get the witnesses to talk. He threatened to drop off one guy in full view of a bad neighborhood. It would lead everyone into believing he was talking to the cops.
Which was a death sentence in such a neighborhood. The guy didn’t want to die and so he talked. The new Criminal Informant told Voight all he needed to know. He said the drug dealers that died was moving in on someone else’s territory. The someone else being EJ. Voight wanted to get a warrant on the guy’s place and ASA Nina Chapman told him she couldn’t give him one.
She needed more evidence or for the witness to sign an affidavit. Voight was refusing to name his source. He said he’d get evidence through a look see. He didn’t need the warrant as long as he didn’t enter EJ’s home. EJ’s last home was burnt down. He was staying with a cousin since then. The cops found the address. They looked through the windows like they were supposed to. EJ saw them and he ran out of there. Torres went after EJ. Voight meanwhile used the excuse of extenuating circumstances to enter EJ’s without a warrant.
They found his bloody clothes. They found shoes with blood on them. It appears that EJ planned on setting the evidence on fire and he also flushed some drugs down his toilet. He was really clearing house.
Voight stopped him from hiding evidence. Torres eventually lost sight of EJ seeing as he almost got hit by a car. EJ got away. There’s no telling where he’ll go. The squad had to use the evidence they did have to make a case. EJ didn’t attack that drug den for no cause. Someone wrote down the address to the den for EJ. It was inside of a candy wrapper.
The same candy wrapper that Voight saw his new C.I. with. Voight was also curious why EJ flushed down the drugs. It didn’t make sense because why steal it just to destroy it. Vought went back to his C.I.
He found out the man was in on the rip. He took money from the drug dealer he helped EJ rob. EJ wasn’t worried about the money. He just wanted to get his on the drugs. According to Rabbitt the CI, that specific drug den cuts their heroin with battery acid. It killed EJ’s sister. He wanted revenge after that. And so Rabbitt was supposed to help him rob the place.
Rabbitt swore he didn’t know anyone was going to die. Only Voight now knows that EJ wasn’t done. EJ wasn’t going to stop until he brought down everyone involved in his sister’s death.
The cops later caught up to EJ. He easily confessed to murders. He also told him why he was doing this. The bad batch of drugs were still out there. It could kill more people. Voight thought the drugs were the bigger concern. He tried to get a warrant based off of what EJ told them about the drugs. And the ASA shut it down.
She said she couldn’t use a known killer as a witness. She also tried to speak to Voight alone. She told him that his work life was too full and it might not be good for him and he ignored her.
He refused to believe he was struggling with his mental health. It wasn’t until he used a CI in the field that it brought back painful memories. Rabbitt got shot. Intelligence then moved in to arrest everyone. Voight was focused on Rabbitt. He talked to him like he did with his son Justin. He was so busy thinking about what his son that he had an outer body experience.
Intelligence put an end to a lethal drug that was killing people. For that alone, Deputy Chief Reed stopped by their scene. He shook everyone’s hand and Voight later couldn’t run away when ASA Nina Chapman talked to him again.
She reminded him that he faced a trauma. He almost died. He can’t keep running away from that by giving himself as many cases as he can. He needed to heal. And so he told Nina that he’ll slow down.
Ruzek was driving with Martel on the way back from the scene when they heard gunshots. They pulled over the care. They told everyone to stay inside and that’s when Martel was shot.
She was killed instantly. She only got the job in Intelligence because Ruzek went to bat for her. Martel has a previous history of going off the wall when her last partner died. She didn’t think she’d ever get reassigned to another squad after that. And so she was thanking Ruzek right before they heard gunshots.
And now Intelligence has lost one of their own.
THE END!
