In tonight’s Chicago PD episode, Kim Burgess was finally taking the detective test. She’s been with Intelligence for years. She knows what it takes to carry out an investigation and to find the right perp.
Only she was nervous. She wanted everything to be perfect. She was fine with the test. She studied for that for months. It was the ride-along that she struggled with. She was being shadowed by an actual detective to see if she has what it takes and the detective was making her nervous. This was even before she caught a homicide.
Burgess was put in charge of a murder. The victim was Raul Tobias. He grabbed his gun when he heard someone stealing the converter from his car and the thieves killed him. There might have been three of them. Not all of them were carrying a weapon. Raul also managed to shoot one of them.
The man he injured tried to hide in a neighbor’s house. Burgess followed the blood trail from the victim’s home to the neighbor’s home and that’s when one of the thieves went on the run. Burgess chased him for several blocks. She caught up to him. He had nowhere else to go and he played stupid.
The guy ran out right in front of a truck. He was killed instantly. He couldn’t tell the police about his friends and it looks bad that a suspect died after a foot pursuit from Burgess. The detective that was shadowing her wasn’t even there to clear Burgess’s name. The woman got a call from her son.
She had to leave the scene to go to his school. Then this happens. It looks bad. It looked bad for the both of them. Burgess also lost a good lead by following Carlos Garza. She should have left the foot pursuit to patrol. She was warned in the future that she should delegate.
When Burgess went back to the scene, she noticed a car was missing. That was her lead. The security cameras outside showed that one of the thieves touched the car without gloves. They’ve got his prints. They just couldn’t use it to build a case now. The car left the scene of the crime. The chain of evidence had been broken.
Burgess still tracked down the car to get the prints. She identified one of the thieves as Jorge Reyes. He used to run Rafael Perez. Perez was killed. His territory was taken over by a new gang. And the new people didn’t want to work with Perez’s people.
Perez’s people had to find a new way of making money now that they were out of the drug scene. They started stealing converters. Those usually go for five hundred dollars each and the thieves weren’t done. In spite of losing one of their own, they went on to steal another converter from another victim.
They didn’t kill the other guy, but they did beat him up a bit. He had to be rushed to the hospital. Burgess blamed herself for that one. She knew if she hadn’t messed up with the car that they could have arrested Jorge by now.
Burgess brought in her own people once the connection to Perez was made. It was Intelligence that took down the kingpin. They offered advice.
They learned that Jorge was spotted getting into the getaway car. They also learned that Jorge’s wife Maria has a bench warrant out for her. She stole baby formula for the new baby. She missed her court appearance and so the cops issued a warrant. Burgess’s detective said they should use that against Maria. Threaten to take her child away if she didn’t tell them where Jorge was.
Burgess didn’t like that plan. She only went along with it because apparently Deputy Chief Reid was paying close attention to her. He was also the one that assigned her the detective shadowing her. Reid seemed to have something planned for Burgess. She didn’t know what it was. Neither did the detective.
They just knew they couldn’t fail to wrap up this case or it might cost them careers. They went ahead with arresting Maria. She claimed her husband was in Mexico. She refused to say anything else without a lawyer. She didn’t care that they were calling DCFS to take custody of her son.
Maria was no help in finding Jorge. Luckily, Torres knew the man’s pattern. Torres was undercover inside of Perez’s gang and so he knew how to find Jorge. They tracked Jorge down to a nearby motel.
The car used in the crime and the third member of the crime spree wasn’t there. Not that it matters. Jorge cracked once he heard his wife was arrested. He was willing to talk if it gets him a light sentence and if he could be nearby so that his family could visit him. Jorge gave them the location of the third thief.
The cops caught up to him right as he was about to rob their converter connection. Burgess took down their third thief. She got banged up a little while doing so. Other than that, she was fine. It was the detective that pulled rank who said they should split up to look for the offender. The guy almost killed Burgess and she could have sunk the detective’s career off of that.
She instead took advice from the woman. Burgess was insulated at Intelligence. She didn’t have to deal with the politics there or know what it means to rise through the ranks. Detective Suarez told her to try a new unit for a few months.
Burgess was going to do that when Deputy Chief Reid made a decision. He put Burgess back in Intelligence. He didn’t care about her or that she wanted to try out a new unit. He told her where she should be and Voight told her that “gift” wasn’t going to be free.
THE END!
