Plot[]
Erin sits at her desk rubbing her shoulder, then gets up and walks into an office. Jay, Ruzek, and Antonio, and Alvin come out into the common area. Ruzek tells Jay that despite having a target on his head, he doesn't seem to be too fazed. Jay explains that when he was overseas, he and his unit always had a bounty on them. Antonio says that most gangs only pay 10 grand for a cop. He jokes that if he's really worth 100 grand, he should take him out himself so he can pay his mortgage. Alvin tells them that one time, a coke dealer put out a $1 million tag on himself and Voight. Jay and Ruzek are shocked. The latter asks how he handled that. Alvin says you never go home the same way twice, you run red lights, and if a car follows you through one, you turn around and handle business.
Voight stands at the whiteboard in the bullpen. He slaps up a mugshot of Billy Fagan, a man with ties to a local outfit. Voight says he's run into him a couple of times. He then slaps up a crime scene photograph taken seven hours ago of the same man slumped against a door next to a brick wall with blood covering his face and shirt. Voight says organized crime found a dollar bill pinned to his chest. They looked into the Serbians and the cartels, and came up empty. Erin makes a dig at Voight about the organized crime informant being his former poker buddy. He glares at her, and she smirks. Everyone is shocked. Voight tells everyone to start reaching out to their C.I.'s (Confidential Informants). Voight asks Erin if she has a sec. Erin stands up and they go into Voight's office. Erin shuts the door behind her. Voight lays into her, telling her that if she has something to say to him, not to air it out in the bullpen. "Sounds good," she says sarcastically. Voight says she doesn't have to like what he did, but she does have to follow orders, or she can put in for a transfer. Erin tells him that for the last ten years, he's told her that I.A. (Internal Affairs) is a bunch of rats who hide behind their badge instead of standing in front of it. Voight tells her he meant it. Cops who go after other cops are the lowest, and he never did that. He played a game with them to get his job back, which he won. Erin remembers the day she and Camille took her in. It was November 13th. She was 15 years old. In their house, they were supposed to trust each other. She's told him everything. He should have told her, because she would have told him. Their tense conversation is interrupted by a knock on the office door. Voight tells the person to come in. It's Antonio with news: someone named Nick Marcello's body was found. Voight knows him. Voight scoffs, and leaves the office with Antonio and Erin.
Outside a two-story red brick building. The adjoining store has obvious structural damage. Police have set up a crime scene. Voight and Antonio walk up to the scene, where curious onlookers watch the flurry of activity. An ambulance crew wheels away an empty stretcher. A crying woman, Trish, runs over to Voight, and they embrace. He apologizes for her loss. Her tells her to stay here, and she nods in agreement. Voight and Antonio walk about to where Nick's body was located, which is shielded by a black fabric curtain and crime scene tape. The police department is taking photographs of Nick's body. He is laying between two rows of bird cages. He is laying on his back, and has blood all over his face and head, a dollar bill pinned to his chest. Antonio asks if he and Voight were close, and Voight tells him they grew up together. Voight rubs his face and steps away from the body to collect himself. Antonio looks on in concern.
Inside her kitchen, Trish tells Voight and Antonio that she had just come home. Nick was feeding his pigeons, something he does every morning. Antonio asks if she has any idea who could have done this, maybe business associates? Trish sharply tells him that she knows what he is implying, and that Nick has been retired from that life for a long time. He asks her if the name Billy Fagan means anything to her, and tells her that he was killed last night in the same manner. She says no, and looks to Voight, her chin trembling. Voight asks for a minute alone with Trish. Antonio steps away. Voight asks about the couple's children, Maria and Nick Jr. She says they're at her mom's house, and they don't know yet. She breaks down. Voight rubs her shoulder, and tells her that he's not here as a cop. He and Nick had a history. He just wants to find whoever is doing this. He tells her that if Nick had a problem with anyone, she needs to tell him now. She gathers herself and says there was someone.
Intelligence deduce on where Nate would likely go. At Med, Nate breaks into the room where his mother was, while entering a standoff with the police. His ailing mother is pleading to him to stop his actions, while he stares down the officers. Jay asks that he talk to Nate and convinces him that they can still make a deal, Nate thinks it's a lie. However, Jay pleads to him and Nate ends up agreeing and gives Jay his shotgun, then he says goodbye to his mother while arrested.
At the precinct, Nate is being questioned by Hank Voight and Alvin Olinsky, he mentions that he had to watch his father get beaten and his mother almost kill herself. He explains these events drove him over the edge, especially by the fact that he couldn't go to the police because they would probably kill his family if he reported. Det. Alvin Olinsky asks why he would stick a dollar bill in his victim's chest, Nate replies that they destroyed his family for the money, so he was just paying it back. Watching, his sister expresses disgust at how the school turned him into this and asks what he's looking at. Jay reveals to her that Nate might be charged as an adult, while revealing he lied to Nate to stop his killing spree.
At a bar, Jay talks with the bartender Maddie before he gets a call from his landlord. When Jay arrives, the landlord says Jay is already police, he can figure out the situation before Jay finds his apartment ransacked.
