"MAN (over radio):" "I think we have a case where the city is hot, and tempers are hot." "People get hot, people are on edge..." "Look, I'm on edge." "My yellow '72 Ford Maverick overheated, I..." "TERESA:" "Most people think of Chicago and harsh winters." "But the summers can be just as rough." "For five days in July of 1995, Chicago battled triple digit-temperatures." "Roads buckled, and drawbridges needed to be hosed down in order to close properly." "And murder rates went through the roof." "Altogether, the heat claimed over 700 lives that week." "Today is supposed to be hotter." "JAREK:" "No, you're not rescheduling, you've already done that twice." "You need a new driver, you've been putting it off for weeks." "You know, it's affecting your work." "My work has not been affected." "You know, this is not about replacing Antonio, it's about making you efficient and keeping you safe." "I hand-picked these three coppers myself, you can't make a bad decision." "Besides, can't keep showing up here at the crack of dawn." "People are gonna start talking." "That's the best reason I've heard yet." "Then that is the reason we will go with." "RADIO ANNOUNCER:" "Well, this is the hottest day that I can remember since... the '80s." "TERESA:" "You are all great cops, and you all come very highly recommended." "Now as you probably know, the last person in this job was killed in the line of duty, so if you would like to reconsider your application, please just say so now." "Congratulations, Officer Bidwell." "You've got seniority." "Macy, Williamson, please don't let this affect your morale or your efforts, you both have very bright futures." "And if it doesn't work out with Bidwell, you might be hearing from me." "So, thank you both." "Thank you, ma'am." "Thank you." "Superintendent Colvin, thank you." "I won't let you down." "When do we start?" "Right now." "The mayor wants the city's heat emergency plan in full effect." "ComEd is saying rolling blackouts are likely, so that means all hands, every available copper is out on the street." "That's including you, ma'am?" "You know what, if I'm revoking sick days and calling off vacations, I am certainly not going to do it from an air-conditioned office." "You're responsible for my security... my phone." "You answer it." "My schedule." "You keep it." "Keys to the car." "Go get it." "We're going to check in with districts all over the city today." "Yes, ma'am." "(sighs)" "LIAM (on phone):" "Alderman Gibbons just called." "He says he has a job for me." "What kind of job?" "Don't know, but..." "He called personally, so maybe this is the mistake we're waiting for him to make." "Maybe, but keep your eyes open and your mouth shut." "You run into any real kind of trouble, you know the procedures." "LIAM:" "Got it." "Well, go get it then!" "Guess that's one way to beat the heat, huh?" "Self-inflicted's not my thing." "Have the body snatchers come down and take him to the M.E." "You know what I read?" "On the way down, a lot of these guys are thinking, like," ""Why am I doing this?" "I'm making a huge mistake."" "Not, "We'll never see the Cubbies win a World Series, and we were so close"?" "Oh, here we go." "Yeah, well, if my team hadn't won a Series in the last century, I'd be pretty depressed, too." "You know what, you talk a lot." "Cubs are playing the Sox tonight." "Oh, I am well aware of the schedule, my friend." "A little wager, maybe?" "How much?" "You know what, I got a better idea." "Loser has to write all the paper on every case for the rest of the month." "You're gonna write all the paper anyway, and that's not gonna change." "Okay?" "The loser... the loser has to wear the opposing team's uniform to work tomorrow." "Fine." "And pose for photographs." "Good." "Yeah." "You're here early." "So are you." "I don't have a life." "What's your excuse?" "(laughs)" "My power's out." "That sucks." "Yeah." "You?" "Couldn't sleep." "Figured I'd come in, get a quick workout before roll call." "Trying to impress some dude?" "Oh, yeah, they're lining up." "We in our blues today?" "Yep." "Great." "Nothing like rockin' the polyester in the middle of hell." "See, the heat doesn't bother me." "I always manage to stay cool." "Yeah, real cool." "Meet you out there." "(laughing) All right." "Dispatch said shots fired, Division and Kedzie, yeah?" "Yeah, it seems quiet, though." "I got nothing."

"Why are you running?" "They just shot my dad." "All right, calm down." "I think he just killed him." "Who did?" "CALEB:" "Where?" "Where'd you come from, huh?" "Hey, tell us what happened." "What happened?" "What happened?" "Hey, squad, send an ambulance, Division and Kedzie." "Ambulance, Division and Kedzie." "Where's your dad, kid?" "Where's your dad?" "♪ Who's gonna hear your cry?" "♪" "♪ When there's more of them than there are of you ♪" "♪ Who's gonna hear your cry?" "♪" "♪ When the hard winds come and it takes your breath?"

"♪" "CALEB:" "This guy's been dealing ice cream out of this truck for the last ten years." "Name's Eddie, right?" "Eddie Cruz." "Bet he's been dealing more than ice cream out of here." "Probably not enough crack in his Creamsicles." "No, he's straight up." "I worked this area when I was a beat copper." "Freezer door's open, looks like the shooter grabbed some ice cream." "Didn't touch the cash." "That lady over there says that she heard them argue about the high price of Popsicles." "She heard the shots, she never saw the shooter." "And apparently, surprise, surprise, all these other knuckleheads didn't see a thing." "So the son's the only real eyewitness." "JAREK:" "Whoever did this was seriously strapped, gentlemen. .45 caliber, 20 or more casings." "Well, the kid said it sounded like a machine gun." "Guy can afford an automatic weapon, can't pay two bucks for a Popsicle?" "All right, round the boy up, get him talking before he starts forgetting." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hold up there, Wysocki." "I don't remember asking for any help." "We got this." "Not anymore, you don't." "Excuse me?" "You want me to spell it out for you?" "You and your little buddy are out, we're in." "So it is true." "The superintendent's little lap dog gets to cherry-pick all his cases." "That's right." "So canvass the area, let me know what you dig up." "I got a better idea." "Why don't you go get yourself a mani-pedi while I stay out here and close this case?" "(laughing) You close a case?" "That'd be a first." "Hey, just 'cause your daddy's a captain, Lassiter, doesn't mean you got any skills." "That gene must've skipped a generation." "You bought ice cream from my dad before." "Yeah, a couple times." "You remember that?" "Dad said to remember every customer." "Smile when you see them coming." "Someone explain to you about your Dad?" "They said he's dead." "They shouldn't have done that to him!" "No, they shouldn't have." "But I promise you, we'll get who did this." "You will?" "We're certainly going to do our best." ""I promise we're going to get the guy that did this"?" "What are you doing?" "I know." "I've never made that mistake before." "But when I was talking to him, it just came out of my mouth." "This is going to make you feel better." "The kid's an orphan, he's got no family." "What?" "Yeah." "His father was his last living relative." "Oh..." "D.C.F.S. is gonna come by and pick him up." "I mean, unless of course you promised he can stay at your place." "I'm sorry." "You should be." "Yeah, I shouldn't have told him that, but..." "No!" "No, you shouldn't write checks you can't cash." "I know." "So help me cash this one." "All right, I got an informant I was saving for a rainy day." "If I burn this informant, though, all right, you owe me big time." "Done." "Baby-sit the kid, I'm gonna make a couple of calls." "D.C.F.S. might be a while." "All right." "RAY:" "Hey, Wysocki." "Ray." "I got the job." "Congratulations, I heard, yeah." "Thanks." "Thanks for putting me up for it." "Well, don't screw it up and we'll call it even." "Sounds fair." "Uh, Ray." "She's a tough one." "Yeah, I can see..." "No, you haven't seen nothing." "Day like today, she's gonna, she's gonna want to prove a point, throw herself into some kind of situation." "Just keep her safe." "Absolutely." "Good." "What's up?" "Got enough food there, dude?" "Got a weakness for shrimps." "Eddie Cruz." "What do you know about him?" "Ice cream truck driver, we found him this morning all shot up down on Kedzie." "We think the shooter's toting an automatic weapon, slight build, braided hair, tattoo on his neck." "What's his name again?" "Detective Evers." "Detective Evers makes me nervous." "Me, too, he can't help it." "JAREK:" "Now a guy that strapped up, running around in your hood," "I figure if anyone can tell me something, you can." "How'm I supposed to know I can trust you, man?" "I mean, if I do this, we straight, right?" "We good." "I got you on multiple gun charges, Big." "And yet here you sit, a free man," "$57.00 worth of fried shrimp between us..." "Is that trust or what?" "Fine." "I'll look into it." "Call you if I got anything." "Oh, you'll do better than that, man." "The streets are gonna be whispering a name, and you're gonna give it to me." "Before the sun goes down." "So..." "Big Sexy." "Why they call you that?" "Hell, is your dude for real?" "(chuckles)" "Why you think?" "As some of you might have noticed, it's a little warm out there today." "(quiet laughter) Now, this kind of weather brings out the crazies, and everyone is gonna be out on the street, them and us." "Now, these particular housing projects, they're hot, no matter what the temperature... there was one weekend last summer, there was, what, three murders, two rapes and two dozen aggravated batteries, all in these buildings alone." "And it was eight degrees cooler than it is today." "As the mercury rises, so do tempers." "That's why we're putting you there for the entire shift." "On foot." "Old-school beat coppers." "Now, we're spread thin." "You know, a lot of people riding 10-99." "So that means backup to that area will be touch-and-go." "So you take care of each other." "(groaning) MAN:" "For crying out loud, man!" "TERESA:" "Well, nothing to see here, so you might as well be out there." "You be safe, everyone." "(laughing)" "What took you so long?" "We hit traffic;" "some of the lights are out... backed things up." "MIKEY:" "Sorry about that, Alderman." "Grab some water, follow me."

"(dog whining)" "We got to break in." "What?" "Why?" "I think someone's in there." "We rang the bell, we knocked." "Let's get out of here." "I'm not getting locked up for breaking into some old lady's house." "We're not gonna get locked up." "We work for Gibbons." "(glass breaking)" "(dog barking, TV playing low in the background)" "Hello?" "(dog whining)" "Shut up, you little rat." "Oh, crap." "Come on, let's get out of here." "Her heart's racing." "Call 911!" "What?" "And explain my presence here how?" "Hey." "(grunts)" "What are you doing?" "(sighs, groans)" "Call 911, damn it!" "See if there's any ice in the freezer!" "Go!" "Stash him in holding." "I'll be right down." "VONDA:" "Hi." "Oh, it's gonna take the rest of the shift to process this knucklehead." "Well, at least the power's back on." "And then we get to go home." "Yeah, nice for you." "Just got a text from my neighbor." "Says the power's still out, and now we got no water pressure." "I got no shower." "Well, I thought you didn't sweat." "What's the problem?" "I just don't let anyone see me sweat." "Oh." "Thank you." "Well, tell you what." "Come hang out at my place." "I got beer, a working shower." "We'll order pizza or something." "Sounds like a plan." "All right." "All right." "Okay." "I'll see you downstairs." "Okay." "Hey." "So, what happens now?" "Well, we got a confession, so we'll be able to put that guy in prison for a long time." "So does that mean I can go home now?" "Well, you see, the problem is, there's no one at home for you, so, uh, we're gonna..." "Hey." "Carlos, this is Cindy." "Cindy is a social worker." "You're gonna go with her for now." "Nice to meet you." "Hey, listen, here's my card." "If you need anything, you give me a call, okay?" "Thanks." "All right." "Take care of yourself, buddy." "You said you'd catch him." "Yeah, and, I, uh..." "I don't usually make that kind of promise, but-but you're special, okay?" "You take care of yourself." "Now at least he inherits the family business, huh?" "Truck full of ice cream." "Maybe you should adopt him. (chuckles)" "I'm gonna grab a pop..." "do you want anything?" "No." "Thank you." "Uh, you should go home." "I'll be here for a few more hours." "I believe the job description is:" "I'm done working about a minute after you're done." "Plus, there's no one available to take your overnight security detail, anyway." "So, uh, it's just the beginning of my evening..." "Overnight security detail?" "I don't need..." "I know, ma'am..." "you've been refusing it." "I took the liberty of reinstating it." "Without asking me?" "Due respect, Superintendent, but I figured since you've been refusing it, if I asked you, you only would have said no." "That would be right." "Thing is, your safety is my job, and I'm not looking to get fired." "Then cancel the detail." "Um..." "Detective Wysocki told me that if you tried to cancel it," "I'm supposed to ask if you remember the, um, Halloween costume you wore at the Area Five party in '03." "I-I guess he's got pictures or, uh... or something." "Fine." "You sure you don't want anything?" "Iced tea, please." "Coming up." "♪ ♪" "You think she's gonna make it?" "I don't know." "How'd you learn how to check her pulse?" "Put her in the tub and all that... where'd you learn that?" "I have a... cousin who's a... medic in the Army." "Showed me some stuff." "Thank you for calling me, gentlemen." "Figured you'd want to know." "Yeah." "Why don't you walk with me for a minute?" "Uh, excuse us, would you?" "Yeah, sure." "This is Clara Weeks." "She's 82 years old, has lived in that house for 50 years." "She was a fixture in this neighborhood long before I became an alderman and you were a... twinkle in your daddy's eye." "(mutters)" "The paramedics told me you saved her life." "Said if it wasn't for you, they'd be on their way to the morgue right now, instead of to the E.R." "Just doing what you told us to do." "Well, you did much more than that." "You're a hero, son." "Yeah, I'm no hero." "Trust me." "I disagree." "And I'll bet Mrs. Weeks' grandchildren would, too." "You know... the good days sometimes make the bad days seem... worthwhile." "Now, you trust me..." "I've had plenty of both." "Come on." "For your contributions." "It's not necessary." "Please don't..." "This is how it works:" "you do for me;" "I do for you." "You call this number first thing Monday morning." "They'll be expecting your call." "There's a job available with the city, if you're interested." "What kind of job?" "A job that doesn't require an interview and pays 50 grand a year." "Now, my associate, Mr. Doyle, he's in charge of vehicle impounds." "He's also looking for somebody with... initiative." "So I'm going on the city payroll?" "There's nothing more fulfilling than public service." "Don't you ever forget that." "(engine starts)" "(car driving away)" "(sportscast plays) Aw, come on!" "(laughs)" "(sighs) I felt like I washed a whole week's worth of grime off." "(chuckles) Your turn." "(sportscast continues)" "What kind of pizza you want?" "Anything but anchovies." "Mm, got it." "What?" "(chuckles) I'm just thinking about the look on your face when you came in that room." "(laughs)" "You thought he capped me, didn't you?" "No." "Yeah, you were all ready to start crying, start yelling, "No!" "No!"" "Don't." "Don't joke about it." "Uh, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Mm-hmm." "I appreciate it." "Appreciate what?" "Just the way you care." "I got no one else like that, so... thanks." "ISAAC (European accent):" "Towel's in ze bathroom, yes?" "Supposed to call some guy named Barry Doyle, works for the city, something to do with, uh, vehicle impounds." "So-so Gibbons is seriously getting you a city no-show job?" "Wow." "I mean, you're already on the city's payroll... that's called double dipping, my friend." "Yeah, except Gibbons pays better than the police." "Well, he just made his first mistake." "Keep me posted, all right?" "I'll look into this Doyle guy, see what I can find." "You know... (clears throat)" "Gibbons really cares about people in his ward." "He cares about the money and the power that comes from their votes." "Don't confuse the two, okay?" "All right, I'll check in next week." "Okay." "Oh, don't tell me the Cubbies stranded that guy on third?" "(sportscast plays)" "You did good today." "It's a good feeling getting a win... don't forget it." "Not that you and your precious little Cubbies would know anything about that." "JAREK (laughs):" "Oh, come on, I'm sorry." "Mick, come on, don't make me beg, dude." "Two more." "(bat hits ball)" "ANNOUNCER:" "That one's up the middle!" "There you go." "There you go." "Here comes Soriano, and that's the first run of the night!" "You know, I got a cousin." "Born Catholic, met a Jewish girl, converted to marry her." "Never been happier." "What's your point?" "That it's not too late to convert and become a Sox fan, find some happiness." "Not a chance." "(laughs)" "No." "Well, you can't say I didn't try." "What are you doing here?" "Pizza's here." "Okay. (laughs)" "I thought you might need some soap." "Can I come in?" "This heat, uh... it turns people into crazies." "Are you sure about this?" "Good first day." "That means I get a second?" "That means you get a second." "I can't thank you enough for the opportunity, Superintendent." "No, you don't have to thank me..." "you were the most qualified." "Oh, no, I wasn't." "I had a little bit of time on those other two candidates, but, uh, I wasn't picked because of seniority." "I noticed those other two were wearing wedding rings." "And Macy, you know, he kept talking about his kids." "I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't care how I got the gig." "I guess, uh," "I'm just saying I understand." "You understand what?" "I did two tours in Iraq... and..." "lost some close friends on the way, but... the guys that were married and had kids, you know, it made it a lot tougher than it already was." "I know Officer Betz was really special to you." "Yes, he was." "Hopefully, I can earn that someday." "But you need to know something about me." "I didn't come back from the desert just to die doing this job, and I'm sure as hell not gonna let anything happen to you." "Okay." "Good night, ma'am." "Good night, Ray." "If you need anything, I'll be right here." "MAN (on radio):" "Now, coming up, we're gonna give you five tips that you need to know in this kind of..." "Look, this is deadly, folks." "This is not me kidding around." "(turns off radio)" "(birds chirping)"
