Episode 2 begins with Ruzek seeing Martel shot in the head lying in the street. Ruzek pulls Martel out from the open. Another officer approaches. Ruzek identifies himself and tells her to stay low. We hear more pops and Ruzek says it’s the blue house. Just then another set of officers pull up. He tells them to stay low. Ruzek says no time to call for an ambulance. Ruzek is clearly still in shock as he cradles Martel. He talks the two officers to get her to the hospital while he and the other officer go into the blue home to assess the situation. Ruzek releases Martel because he has been squeezing her tight the entire time and he looks lost. The call has been called in officer down and the entire twenty first is on high alert. The other team members are being briefed when Ruzek and the officer decide to go into the blue home.
As the officer approaches the home they see the bullet holes abd hear more pops. Breaching the front door we observe one male deceased and a female shot multiple times moaning in pain. Ruzek hears movement, just then shits come through the ceiling and the female officer dives on the female victim. Ruzek checks to make sure she is okay. She confirms the bullet hit her vest. Just then Atwater pulls up to the scene. Atwater is asked to attest to the female victim. He speaks to her softly asking her name as we hear the ambulance in the distance. She is able to tell him her name is Denise.
Ruzek and tge female officer go upstairs and all rooms are clear. They see a door open to the outside; it is there that they encounter the suspect that simply fires at them again. Ruzek calls in a late model Camry, describing the suspect and that he has a two year old with him. They high tail it to the female officers squad car and give chase.
Ruzek ask if the female officer is okay and for her to move faster in pursuit of the suspect. Ruzek introduces himself and tge female officer says she is Cooke and she ask is the officer down was his partner. Voight is now informed of the officer evolved shooting abd he gets on the radio immediately to Ruzek. He begs to understand what happened. Ruzek now in persuit of the assailant explains to Voight what happened and says it came out of nowhere. Ruzek is still in shock and tells Voight it doesn’t look good.
The suspect turns right on Austen and as the squad car turns the suspect is nowhere to be seen. In the ambulance Atwater tries to calm Denise down, but she has to use what breath she has begging Atwater to save her boys. Atwater ask her who shot you. Before Denise looses consciousness she is able to say it was her ex husband Roy Darrow and he took her youngest son Bobby. Denise says he will be looking for Nate, a ten year old that went to play basketball. Atwater gives Voight all this information and Voight communicates the info to the entire precinct over the radio, he also has an Amber Alert issued for Nate the ten year old son.
Voight goes directly to Dante radio and gets him up to speed since Dante was home. Voight let’s Dante know that the can feel this pain later but right now they have to try and find Nate. The suspect has a long wrap sheet abd it’s found out he was just in jail for domestic violence. Darrow received five years, but was paroled after one year fir good behavior. As soon as he got out he began harassing Denise so much so that she secured a reorder two months ago. Voight goes to the team and says h3 wants everything in Roy Darrow’s life uncovered. Known associates, family the works. He doesn’t get to breath.
We are now heading to traffic cameras where Voight is looking to spot Darrow. Finally he finds the Camry and he informs Ruzek of his whereabouts. Ruzek and Cooke are in heavy pursuit.
The ambulance make it to the hospital and tge get Denise in immediately. Just before going in Atwater views a group of officers surrounding a room. As he approaches one of the officers approaches Atwater abd he simply shakes his head. Martel did not make it. Atwater goes to the radio and tells the teal that Martel was flatlined when she came in and there was nothing they could do. Martel didn’t make it. There is silence from Ruzek, Voight, and Dante. Finally Voight speaks up abd ask about Denise. Atwater says she is in surgery. Voight tells him to stay there and wait. Try ti get information from Denise on where he would hide, who would help him, anything ti find him and try ti find Nate.
Reid approaches Voight and gives Condolences on Martel. Reid wants to know what Voight needs. Voight says I need to stay on lead. Reid grants that and lets him know he will be available b6 radio. Voight is clear that that Darrow is a cop killer, but he has a two year old with him they need restraint. Reid repeats Voight words. We can feel this later. Right now let’s get this SOB.
Dante heads ti the most likely park Nate would play ball at. There are other officers who arrive on the scene to look for Nate. As Dante approaches the basketball game the guys stop playing and it’s clear they dint want to talk to a cop. They all disburse and Dante spots a young kid with the elementary schools T-shirt on. Dante approaches the young boy and ask if he knows Nate. At first the boy is hesitant, but when he says why he is looking for him the boy tries to help. The boy says that Nate’s dad called him an hour after school and Nate went to meet him. The young boy tries to describe the bike abd remembers that the bike has a tag that says Elvis on the back. Dante asks the boy if he has Nate’s cell. The boy says no. Dante must now try and find out where Nate went to meet his father.
Voight is combing through the cameras to try and find the Camry. Dante lets Voight know about the cell phone, but there is no extra phone listed on Denise’s plan; they think it’s a phone Roy gave his son to communicate with him. Voight finds the Camry on cameras, announcing it over the radio the Ruzek and Cooke move in, Voight says he will meet them there. Just then we see Burgess calling Ruzek and he silences the phone asking Cooke more about herself and career. Cooke admits she was an TACT for 2 years.
The Camry is spotted, Ruzek informs Voight where they are. They go to cheat the car when Voight pulls up. They take the building quietly. In searching the building they come across a bathroom with blood and gauze all over. Ruzek says he must have gotten shot back at the house and gone there to get cleaned up. Just then Cooke tells them we have a runner. When they apprehend the man they ask for Darrow the suspect is not cooperative. Ruzek tells he is a cop killer. Are you a cop killer? Ruzek is really upset and demands to know. The suspect finally begins to answer that he gave him his car and didn’t ask questions because he didn’t want to know. The suspect tells them the type of car he has and admits the baby is fine, but that Darrow was spiraling talking about taking his kids to a better place. Once they run his tags they cuff the suspect. An announcement comes over the radio that a break in was just reported by a John Darrow. This is Nate’s uncle and he believes Nate broke in.
The team goes over to the uncle's home. In route Ruzek looks at all of his hands. This takes his aback and he is zoning out. Cooke recognizes this and calls Ruzek several times to get him to focus on the uncle. Ruzek checks back in and says no sheet, a wife and kids. At John Darrows house we see that John is cooperating. They ask Nate here. He admits he is not there, but his house was broken into. While showing Voight the area Ruzek and Cooke come on the scene. John says he has cameras and he pulls the footage up. It shows Nate breaking in and then leaving with a nine millimeter handgun. John admits he has guns in the home and Nate knows how to shoot. John then admits that Nate knows the combination to his gun safe. John begs then ti help because he doesn’t know what Nate will do. The shooting of his mother is all over the news and social media. They are all worried about Nate.
Burgess calls Ruzek again, but he still doesn’t answer. Cooke asks is that your wife. Soon to be Ruzek says and admits that Martel was a good friend to both of them and he is just vpnit ready for that conversation.
Vioght finds Nate’s bike and calls it in telling the team it’s at the bottom of Mackenzie Station on the Green line. Voight searches the platform and calls in a connection of that stop in the green line to Nate. Platt finds out when Roy and Denise were together they lived right off of a green line stop and maybe Bate is going to his old house to meet up with his dad. Dante says he is close to the green line stop near the home and tells Ruzek to go straight to the house to try and cut Nate off from meeting Darrow. Voight wants this to end now.
Dante checks in with Atwater to get an update on Nate’s mom. Atwater says she is still in surgery, but fighting. Just then Dante spots Nate coming down the steps of the green line. Dante slowly approaches Nate and says he has been looking for him. Once Dant admits he is an officer Nate takes off. Dante goes after him and slowly checks the alley. Nate pops out and points a gun to Dante. Nate cries to just let him go. Dante says he can’t do that and you didn’t want to hurt me. Nate says that he will because he has to go. Nate says his father lied to him. He wants to take him and his brother from his mother and he promised he wouldn’t hurt his mother but he lied. Nate said his friends saw it in the news. Dante tells him his mom is still alive and she needs him to be smart. Dante asks Nate what would your mother want you to do? Nate says he has to save Bobby. Dante says it’s up to the police to do that. Nate is on edge and says it’s up to him because his father is too smart; he is the only one that can stop him. Nate is yelling at Dante to move so he can walk away and Dante confuses Nate and gets the upper hand. Dant admits his father is waiting for him at the Gray street address. Dante says I have to cuff you. Nate is distraught and hears Dante call it in. Voight says to deescalate the situation they have to secure Bobby. Dant says to Nateyou see we going to get your brother we got this. Nate says no you don’t. My dad is crazy! He is gonna kill all of us.

He loses Conor the vehicle, Cooke falls off and the vehicle crashes into a dumpster. It’s clear that underneath the hood there is a fire. Ruzek runs and can see Cooke is down and he approaches the vehicle. He orders Darrow to put his hands up and exit the vehicle. When there is no response after several attempts Ruzek goes for Bobby who is in his car seat screaming his head off. Just as he gets Bobby halfway out Darrow tries to assist Ruzek. Ruzek punches Darrow until he goes unconscious. Ruzek goes back to getting Bobby out. Finally Bobby is free and they both run and escape the vehicle just as the vehicle explodes.
Bobby is inconsolable. Voight goes to Ruzek and says it’s over, we are all safe. Slowly Ruzek goes to sit on the curb and you can hear all of the background of them cleaning up the scene. Cooke comes to sit by Ruzek. There is silence. Finally Ruzek says well done officer. Cooks says the same thing to Ruzek. Well done officer.
