APB

Previously on APB...

That call I made...

it was to a cell phone attached to a bomb.

Gideon Reeves, an unelected fascist technocrat

accountable to no one.

- (Gideon laughs) - He's a guy with a lot of secrets.

And today those secrets come out.

Did you even consult a lawyer before you shot a man with a drone?

We both know that this is as much about the fact

that your ex-wife works here.

This is a crowbar. Just plug it in to the district servers.

It'll pry open an encrypted back door for me to do my thing.

- I'm not doing that! - Yes, you are.

Where'd that car come from?

I don't know, Squad. Out of nowhere.

I'd say they got somebody on a computer looking out for them, too.

- What is that? - Secret lab.

1309, Squad, we have three armed assailants

approaching Gideon's house.

The stuff that I work on down here is highly experimental.

And completely illegal!

The guy in the mask might be crazy,

but he's not wrong.

On the ground! Get on the ground now!

They're about to get it.

Mask off, gloves off.

Game on. Come and get me.

ANNOUNCER (on TV): Drives down the lane.

Beautiful pass!

Come on! Come on! Come on! Damn it.

Fakes left and goes right along the baseline.

Either pass the damn ball or shoot the three.

What the hell is...?

Yeah, this is base, yeah?

We got a problem with the video surveillance.

Oh, great. The radio's down, too?

- (footsteps approaching) - Can I help you?

No.

Fear gripped the city as reports came in

to police districts across Chicago

of possible terror attacks.

Turns out those attacks were well-orchestrated hoaxes

targeting the controversial 13th district of the city,

headed by maverick billionaire Gideon Reeves.

Many are pointing to this video,

posted online before the attacks,

criticizing Reeves.

An unelected, fascist technocrat

accountable to no one has trampled rights

and declared war on this city.

Authorities are still searching for suspects, and sources say

the 13th district has received credible threats

of further attacks.

Meanwhile, Mayor Salgado is pointing the finger in another direction,

singling out Reeves personally.

Gideon Reeves has turned our city into a target,

and once and for all, he should be held accountable.

He's serious.

I've already had two calls from City Hall.

He's going after us? That...

He knows that we were the ones that got attacked, right?

Did you mention that?

All he sees is a chance to send you packing.

The assistant state's attorney is already here,

waiting to help with your luggage.

Well, we have a terrorist to catch, right?

- He tried to kill me. - And me.

We need to talk about Ada.

- That's a complicated situation. - Is it?

She confessed to working with a hacker.

The same hacker who tried to kill us.

- I know, but... - But what?

She should be in interrogation, not sitting in the ops center.

- She's a criminal. - That's debatable.

This isn't. She's not a cop.

I mean, am I wrong here?

I'll admit the kid's grown on me, but,

Gideon, we're sworn to uphold the law here, and she broke it.

No question Ada did some things that she should not have.

She was trying to help.

- She saved lives. - But she took one to do it.

Gideon, you and I have had this conversation.

Nobody gets to change the rules,

not even if it's for a good reason.

Not you, not me,

- and especially not Ada. - Okay!

Okay, yes, yes, yes, but... reality check here.

We are going up against a hacker.

Not just any hacker.

A hacker that Ada personally knows.

So unless you're planning on getting a graduate degree

in computer science in the next half hour,

I mean, pretty sure we need her.

For now I'm inclined to agree.

Murph, Gideon's got to talk to the A.S.A.

We got a bad guy to catch.

I think it's best we get on it.

Murphy, hey, I really am so sorry about all of the...

You're sorry? It's a little late for that now, don't you think?

Yeah. Um...

When you and Gideon got here,

I defended you.

I trusted you.

Then you turn around and stab us in the back like this?

You put everything that we worked for at risk.

So what the hell good is your sorry gonna do

when this district is shut down?

Yeah, I thought so.

Now I have a suspect to interrogate.

And if it wasn't for Gideon, it would be you.

Mayor Salgado wants the 13th district

to stand down, effective immediately.

Ah, so, what? We're just supposed to walk away?

The mayor realizes we're actually doing a job, right?

Is he gonna order all the criminals

to stand down as well?

He's getting approval from the city council for an injunction,

giving the 12th district control of the 13th.

The leadership... you, the captain... will be suspended.

You have been after the 13th since I got here.

No, no, no. This isn't about me.

This is about your arrogance.

Yes, yes, yes, that is true. You are right.

I was. I was arrogant. Danny Reghabi,

DV8, whatever he's called...

he's coming after the 13th 'cause of me,

but you know what else is true?

We are dealing with a very dangerous person.

And we are the only district

that could even begin to handle him.

So, if you have to...

I don't know... arrest me, shoot me,

whatever, knock yourself out.

As long as I'm here, I have a job to do.

According to your prints, you're Jack Nagle.

Priors for armed robbery, assault and

being a dumbass crook in general, so,

you want to tell me how you ended up

working for Danny Reghabi?

- I'm sorry. DV8. - Nope.

Here's the deal.

We got you on attempted murder,

home invasion and weapons charges, all on video.

So unless you want to die in prison, start talking.

Ah, I see Murphy's working her magic.

How'd it go with the A.S.A.?

Huh? Oh, just a misunderstanding.

He's buying me a lobster at Shaw's,

hanging my portrait at City Hall.

How's the interrogation going?

I've seen better.

Ada, bring up the biometric chair feed.

How do you know Danny Reghabi?

I'm not telling you a damn thing.

He's got to be protecting someone.

Probably himself.

Danny is frighteningly good at getting to anyone, any time,

anywhere.

Ooh, hear that, Murph?

Sounds like this guy's more scared of our psycho hacker

than he is of going to jail.

That might be something you can use, huh?

Do you really think

keeping your mouth shut's gonna keep you safe?

Do you have any idea

what Danny can do to you if we don't catch him?

We can't protect you in jail.

Yeah.

Spiking him there, Murph. Let him have it.

All it takes is one digital favor to the Aryan Nation,

and you're bleeding out in the showers

with a swastika carved into your back.

- You can't do that. - It won't be us doing anything.

Your only hope is if we catch this guy.

Maybe he'll forgive you, let you walk away.

I mean, I don't know. You know him more than I do.

I don't know much, okay?

I'm listening.

We were supposed to meet him

at a train yard at 52nd and Western.

The job paid 50 grand a piece. That's it.

That's all I know.

I'm gonna give you a little pro tip.

Next time you take a job from a psychopath,

I'd ask more questions.

We got to check out that train yard.

I'm taking every available unit and heading out there now.

Wait. You are?

That son of a bitch came after you, he came after Murphy.

Hell, he came after all of us.

It's time I got out on the streets, made my feelings known.

You know, you're the captain.

You could've taken one of the Caddies.

Hey, I let you put a camera in it, didn't I?

Call me old-fashioned, but I like my ride just fine.

1309, Squad.

Listen, you have to be careful.

I've seen what this guy can do, and he's not messing around.

Copy that, 1309. Neither are we.
