When the Intelligence Unit takes on the murder of a family, the only witness is the family's youngest child. Can the team find the murderer in time?
With Roman off duty, probably Burgess too, Erin and Jay take on some overtime patrolling the streets until they get a call of gunshots at home. As they get there, they see a bloody mess. They search until they see a body move like a little girl, all covered in blood. She was underneath her sister, and as she stood, she fainted.
Voight and the team get there to have a look as Erin goes with the little girl known as Polly. The team goes from a support cult group, Horizon, to interviewing a man who knew the victim by advising him to go to Horizon.
As Erin waits to talk to Polly, Jay brings her some clothes and, to keep her mind off the case speaks about apartments. Jay needs a lot of help if he enjoys having a toilet next to the stove.
Soon, Erin gets called by a nurse that Polly has gone off. She runs over there, tries to calm her down, and puts the knife on the floor. As soon as she does, the nurse comes in, drugs her, and takes her to her room under the order of Dr. Charles. And you know that Erin was upset about it, even with the no sleeping and waiting to talk to her.
Charles finally lets Erin interview Polly. When she does, Polly tells her about the house and that she knows the man because she's seen him at the cabin. Erin looks for the cabin Polly is talking about, and when she finds the right one, she, Polly, and Jay head over there.
It seems that Voight and Co. are having a little bit more fun than Erin and Jay. They get a new suspect, who happens to be a robber at the time of the murders. They get the guy in a very relaxed fashion with Al, and Hank, who's wearing cool sunglasses, spots him and puts him in the van back to the House. The guy's in the cage, and Voight and Al bring in a battery with plugs to scare the man. But soon, he gives up someone that the team has met, who owns $800.
So they talk to Gerald, whom they met before. He wasn't home but found a gun in his room that happened to be his dad. As Gerald returns home, he runs off but gets knocked down by Atwater. They interview him, and he convinces Voight and Ruzek that he didn't do it and tells them to check that the gun hasn't been used.
As Erin and Jay get to the cabin, the girl looks around and starts remembering the event that she saw the man. They showed her some photos of some suspects, but none of them were. She tells them he was older with a beard and a red truck with no top.
At the House, the team found a 911 call made twice with someone describing the red truck and only giving three numbers off the license plates. Mouse found footage, saw the truck, and ran the numbers.
They find where the suspect is, but by the time they get close to the house, the suspect starts shooting at them. Failed to talk him down, they smoked him out, and Dawson took him down, with Voight getting the last kick to the face.
The suspect was a friend of the victim, who happened to owe him money, but the victim didn't give him any. But instead, he gives him a pamphlet on Horizon.
As soon as they got him, Erin showed the photo of him to Polly and told her that he was the guy. Polly and Erin talk before her aunt and uncle get there, talking about moving to St. Louis and how Polly enjoys traveling. It's one of those heartwarming/heartbreaking moments you can't turn away.
In the meantime, during this episode, Roman has been doing physical therapy and has surgery to get the leftover bullets out of his neck. Well, the department declined to do that when the doctor saw that it was near the spine, which would cause much damage afterward. That doesn't sit well with Roman, and decides to ask Burgess if she would go with him to San Diego, CA. She hasn't answered him, but I assume she will in next week's episode.
This episode was terrific. I can never get enough scenes with Voight and Al or Voight and the suspects. It's like watching theatre. I loved the moments that Erin and Jay got in this episode, from talking about apartments to even the toilet near the stove; it was a hoot. I want more and more of their relationship to grow.
Next week's episode is the season finale when Voight and Erin find someone they know in the trunk of a car. Voight goes out of his way to stop and kill whoever has done whatever to his son. It's the season finale, where all hell will be breaking loose. Here's a promo.
You can catch the season finale of Chicago PD next Wednesday night at 10/9c on NBC.
