You know what that means. We can clean this up ourselves. Yeah, nobody's talking about a cleanup. Pilsen isn't Wicker Park, Commissioner. - Yeah, not yet. - They torch this neighborhood, the network will go to ground just like they did last time. You know, you're too sentimental, Bill. Pilsen's a goddamn armpit. Only good for whoring. Their leadership is in Pilsen. - You know that for a fact? - I'm working on it. Not fast enough. If we do our job, we can locate the end of the thread, their Number One, and unravel the whole network. Look, let me stop you right there. Hey, that ship has sailed. And I have to explain why to them in there. I got a positive I.D. at Soldier Field, the man I've been tracking for two years. I need time to bring him in alive. You're not listening. Right now, we have resources behind us. Now, you might not see them, but they're there. They're protecting you. And the more irrational you become, the more unnecessary noise you make, the harder it's gonna be to invite you into the lifeboat. Do you understand me? If there's any chance of getting off this dying rock, I'm not gonna waste it. Pilsen is already dead. They just don't know it yet.

(RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) Name, rank, department. Mulligan, William. Commander. Pilsen Special Branch. (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) Let's begin the debrief. Proceed. The computer we found contained all names, aliases and locations of the Chicago network. This communication sent some years before restrictions. Proof of a national network. (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) The computer belonged to the prostitute? Number One. She recorded her interactions with her johns and sent relevant information out through the network's chain. Her second in command was Charles Rittenhouse, communications, responsible for activating the operation known as Phoenix. Go. Get in. WILLIAM: Number three, Patrick Ellison, - operations. - (ENGINE STARTS) - Before demobilization... - Wait here. ...Marine Corps, ordnance. Wait, wait. N-N-N-No. I'm staying with you. I'm staying with you! WILLIAM: Number four, Raul Casillas, materials and transport. Foreman at the Pilsen Auto Yards. Systems analyst Ivan Leviev hacked into our central surveillance database and tracked Deputy Mayor Robert Watts, the unwitting courier of the bomb. (KEYS JINGLING) Harrison Ma, a medical student before the closures, developed a procedure to remove identity implants, enabling the cell to remain invisible to tracker drones. These were the principals hiding in plain sight who enabled the cell to carry out the attack on Soldier Field. REPORTER: The search for militant suspects has accelerated. An unidentified female resident is reported to have been shot and killed. WILLIAM: But once we had their Number One, they knew we had them, too. (STEADY BEEPING) WILLIAM: The Chicago network is neutralized. (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) What was her name and background? Her name was Priscilla Scott. She was a history teacher at Pilsen Elementary. She was off the grid for nine years, so there's nothing else we know about her. (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) A prostitute. Why? Access. She groomed her clients very carefully, procured members of the Unity government, and manipulated them into divulging classified information, which she recorded with her concealed wire. - Play the tape, please. - (BEEPING) PRISCILLA (ON TAPE): Can you imagine what they do down there? MAN (ON TAPE): Stripping everything. Every crevasse. Fracking to the power of ten. Taking it all off planet. - You felt those earthquakes. - (BEEPING) MAN 2 (ON TAPE): They'll crawl. They stand. It's all the same to them. They have this network of tunnels under the surface... PRISCILLA: Wait. You've been inside the Closed Zone? MAN 2: No, not me. The-the commissioner. - He's the guy with the access. - (BEEPING) (ON TAPE): Always reminding me PRISCILLA: Well, then we better get business out of the way. - That we're apart... - (BEEPING) IGOE (ON TAPE): Yeah, it's a big deal. How often do they come out of the Closed Zone? Robert Watts, he's just this alderman's bagman, but he'll be handling them out at the rally. Briefing them, taking them in. PRISCILLA: That's an incredible responsibility. IGOE: Mm-hmm. What if I told you that the roach governor may be one of them? - Oh... - WILLIAM: Stop the tape, please. - (BEEPING) - MAN: Eugene. (DOOR OPENS) Our own chain of command was compromised. (DOOR CLOSES) (ROARING AND RAPID CLICKING OVER SPEAKER) What about you? What about me? (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) You live in this neighborhood. Yes. (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) These are your people. (FEEDBACK, STATIC OVER SPEAKER) (RAPID CLICKING AND CHITTERING OVER SPEAKER) Evidence will be analyzed by the Legislature. In the meantime, as acting commissioner, you are to report to the Closed Zone for further orders. No more questions. (LIGHTS CLANKING) Loading up! (WOMAN MAKING INDISTINC ANNOUNCEMENT OVER SPEAKER) WOMAN (OVER SPEAKER): Lines are single file. (DEEP WHOOSHING) Rafe's alive. Yeah, so what? I don't mean nothing to him anymore. - You had a purpose. - There was no purpose. Rafe's plan failed. What if the plan was to fail? Like I said, you work for me now. And what do you want me to do with this? Did you pay attention in history class, Gabriel? Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Now, get out. - (CROWD CHEERING) - (GENTLE JAZZ BALLAD PLAYING) (DOOR CLOSES) MAN: Commissioner Mulligan. They made you the big man, Bill. Look out for us when you get down there, Commissioner. (CROWD CHEERING) We may never pass this way again Never get another chance to meet If we never chance to meet again...

JOHN (ON VIDEO): Here we are. Oh, Lord. Johnny, no. Well, I'm all sweaty. JOHN: Come on, baby, you look beautiful. - (LAUGHING): No... - (JOHN LAUGHING) (FADING): Love is now the stardust... - FLORA: Priss, Charles! - Hi! JOHN: Words of advice from a history teacher to the future generation? Hi, baby Gabriel. I can't wait to cuddle you. JOHN: That's not advice. (HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING) - JOHN: Bill, how about you? - I'm off duty, John. - You got a problem, call 911. - Get up here. You know Priss. She teaches at the school with my wife. - Hi. How are you? - Priss. JOHN: Bill, any advice? WILLIAM: Uh, yeah. Teacher or cop, kid? You got to make a choice. Whatever you are, be a good one. WILLIAM: You got a hell of a family here, kid. - Thank you. - WILLIAM: And not just them. - All of us. - GROUP: Hey, hey! WILLIAM: Pilsen's got you covered. The future is yours, kid. (BUZZER BLARING) (CRUNCH) WOMAN: Confirming rank and identity. MAN: Commissioner William Mulligan. WOMAN: Security clearance complete. MAN: Prepare for descent. MAN 2: 15 seconds. Guidance is internal. 12, 11, ten, nine... Ignition sequence start. Six, five, four, three, two, one. Drop. RAFE: Light a match. Ignite a war. Long as we fight back, we got a chance. - - (RUMBLING) (RUMBLING GROWS LOUDER) |
