A maverick billionaire...

My name is Gideon Reeves.

I built an empire making rockets, computers, robots...

Made over $100 billion. Know how I did it?

I'm an engineer.

... touched by tragedy...

- The money! - No!

- - My friend has been shot.

Where the hell are you people?!

... takes on the biggest engineering challenge

of his career...

I want justice for Elliot James Sully.

Give me the 13th District to run.

A civilian can't take over a police district.

They can, with a special appointment from this committee.

... to revolutionize a police force...

Technology doesn't solve cases, cops do.

You haven't met my technology.

- - Wow...

... and save a city.

You guys are my partners.

We're gonna change the world.

Hi, I'm Gideon Reeves,

billionaire, inventor,

and new head of Chicago's 13th police district.

If you're seeing this, you are one

of 378,000 people in this city

who've already downloaded

my new APB crime-fighting app.

Shortly after launch, we had over 5,000 APB crime reports.

With a fancy bit of computer engineering

and a little help from my brilliant team,

we routed every one of those calls

to the local 911 operators.

Not just the calls... GPS info, video.

All kinds of good stuff.

You know what? Rather than tell ya,

why don't I just show ya?

See, up until now, thanks to

short-sighted budget cuts by the mayor,

criminals have had such an easy time.

They've been, well, robbing the candy store.

There you go, take that. Good. Take that.

: You get the big one.

We're reinventing policing,

- and we're catching the bad guys. -

Thanks to the hard work of Chicago's finest,

we are about to take a brand-new bite out of crime...

All in record time, I might add. Hey, Murph.

Gideon, are you serious?

She's right, I better wrap it up.

Here's the bottom line.

The mayor can talk all he wants about Chicago's problems.

Thanks to the APB app...

I'm here to offer solutions.

And jelly beans.

I love jelly beans.

In the electronic communication blast

through his popular APB app,

maverick billionaire Gideon Reeves

- may have had some sweet... - Just one moment.

... to offer Chicago's crime-weary citizens today...

Sorry. Can I help you?

- Hello? -

Give me the keys to the cabinet. Now!

- All right, all right, just please... - Let's go!

Don't do anyth... Oh!

Okay, I assume

everybody saw today's little demonstration.

- Yes, everybody catch that? -

So here's the deal.

In my experience, the best thing to do

with politicians is to go around them.

You go through them, you get bloody, and my suits

and your fancy new uniforms are too nice for that.

Now, I want you all to know these aren't just words.

I'm here to start a revolution.

And you know where that starts?

Not with the new guns or the drones,

amazing though they may be.

It starts with all of you.

Murphy, could you...

As you probably heard,

I recently promoted Murphy here to detective,

and yet... gonna blow your minds here...

She's still in uniform, she's not wearing a pantsuit,

sitting at a desk. Why?

Because studies have shown

it's the beat cops that have the knowledge

and the relationships

to get crimes solved

and cases closed.

So why do we take detectives off the street?

Well, now we don't.

And it doesn't stop there.

Paperwork? Guess what, you don't do it anymore.

Mm-hmm. How about evidence logging? No.

- There's a computerized... Gideon!

Oh, God, Ada, I'm kinda revolutionizing here.

Uh, yeah, but I just got an APB call.

There's a robbery at a pharmacy.

I-I called it out, but this station is closer

than any of the units on patrol...

I'm on it.

You know what? Me, too.

Disruption, guys.

You get it.

1309 squad responding.

Ooh!

1309, we've got three separate APB reports.

Got a Caucasian male, masked,

approximately five eight.

I'm sending video now.

Copy.

You sure this a good idea, you being here?

Come on, you heard me back there.

This is what it's all about,

helping you be the best cops that you can be...

Changing it up

Yeah, I don't know about that.

You're changing a lot of tradition.

The cars, the uniforms, the robots.

Maybe, you know, learn a little bit

before you just bust things up.

That's what I'm here for, to learn.

Yeah, but then you're gonna change everything else, too.

Yeah. See, you're getting it.

1309, be advised.

Looks like the suspect is on the move now,

- going westbound on Division. Copy that.

From your position, you should be able to pick him up...

- Oh! -

I think we just did.

So how does this work, exactly?

We just stay on him

and set up a roadblock.

He's not too worried about sticking to the road.

- What the hell is he doing? -

Son of a bitch!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

We need an ambulance at Rawlings Park.

- 11th and Dover. Copy.

Emily, baby, please...

Emily... Baby, please.

Emily!

Gideon, we're still combing through all of the surveillance

video, looking for any sign of our hit-and-run driver.

We have units out everywhere,

- but nothing's turned up yet. Well, keep looking.

- Every resource we have. - Okay.

Mr. Reeves, sir, we are trying to do everything we can,

but since Captain Hauser tendered his resignation, we...

Wait, Hauser resigned?

Sorry, I thought you would have heard

from the union by now.

Says he wouldn't come to work anymore

until you've packed your money bags

and moved back to Smartassville.

- His words, sir, not mine. -

That's cute. Uh, no, I'm-I'm staying.

Fine by me,

but no one here has the stripes

to authorize overtime and extra shifts.

In that case, congratulations.

I'm sorry?

I read your file. 30-plus years on the force.

Everybody likes you. Hell, I like you.

I don't even really know you. So you are it, Captain Conrad.

Carry on.

He does that kind of thing a lot.

Ma'am?

: Uh...

how's she doing?

Doctors don't know.

She hasn't woke up since the accident.

She's got swelling in her brain.

They say if it goes down, she's got a shot.

But if it don't...

You got any kids?

I do.

A son. His name is Mateo.

Then you know how it is.

But you...

When we heard you were coming into the 13th,

a lot of us thought, maybe, finally

things were gonna get better.
