Antonio is working out when Platt and Voight come in. Things are getting worse. The incident at the warehouse has moved on to IA. They need to take down Kelton before it’s too late. Luckily, Voight knows who is fix-it man is. They’ve gotta catch him real dirty to get him to flip. Atwater has a CI in the neighborhood and tries to get in that way. It doesn’t work but they do manage to set up some tracking equipment.
While the rest of the unit watches him, Ruzek meets with IA but he’s got nothing to say. He goes back to the district and tells Voight and Antonio what’s up. They need to get ahead of this. Platt interrupts. Kelton is inside and he wants them to look into a murder. Voight says they have it but he’s not really interested. He knows that Kelton is creating a diversion. Instead the unit raids a stash house off book and takes all the drugs and guns.
They do an inventory and Halstead admits that he plans to stick with Upton wherever they end up next. Ruzek admits that he’s been called in by IA again. This time the guy lays out a theory. He’ll bust Antonio and let him rot. He’s got 24 hours to decide what to do. Antonio meets with someone who knows the guy working this. He’ll dig though. Back in the unit, they have wires. They have audio of a meet being set up and move on it. They end up shot at. Their target is killed. Halstead and Upton are trapped in a van.
Atwater, Ruzek and Burgess give chase but they lose the guy. Kelton is pissed. Voight goes back at him though. Ruzek and Antonio go at each other too. Voight breaks them up and Upton explains their newest lead. The target had a burner and he was reaching out to Kelton for help. Now they have to find the shooter to take down Kelton. Kate digs around and finds that the whole thing was a set up. They know where to go and head out to pick up the shooter.
He’s arrested and brought to the cage. Dude has nothing on Kelton though so they are back to square one. Voight vows to protect everyone’s careers. Antonio meets with his buddy finds out that the IA cop’s daughter is a prostitute. He won’t use it though. Him and Ruzek meet up and they talk. There’s only one decision he can live with. They go back to the district and Voight asks one last time what they can do. With no options, they have to move on. Voight tries to talk to Ruzek but he walks out.
Voight is pissed and punches a wall. That’s where Halstead finds him and asks what’s up. They talk for a minute. Voight says he’s going to Kelton to make things right and tells Halstead he’ll run the unit and he should do it the right way. Halstead goes back upstairs and Upton tries to talk to him. Platt comes up. IA is there to arrest Ruzek but she wouldn’t let them upstairs.
She tells Ruzek to keep his head down. He kisses her on the cheek and tells her that he’ll be alright. He’s booked. Antonio takes a pill. Kelton wins the election. That night a call comes in. Atwater, Halstead and Burgess arrive on the scene. Kelton is dead. A few blocks away, Voight is driving in the other direction.
I like that Halstead is running the show. I don’t like that he will probably turn into Voight though. Also, did Antonio kill himself? And I don’t think Vought killed Kelton. I guess we’ll see.
