Her plan to get near Sean labored, and Intelligence quickly accessed his burner cellphone, uncovering a possible assembly place within the course of.
Voight introduced their case to the identical legal professional who was hesitant to log out on a warrant for Escano, convincing her to assist them with their investigation. The group moved in on Sean’s secret base of operations, solely to appreciate that he had been tipped off and scrubbed the whole lot. However who may have recognized?
Chief O’Neal caught onto them, selecting up on Victor’s capturing and the faux numbers. Nevertheless, he thought Intelligence was trying into Sean for medicine, and that his son had relapsed once more. When Voight broke the information that Sean was being investigated for trafficking underage women, the chief was left in disbelief.
Elsewhere, as Sean walked to his entrance door, he noticed Upton in her automobile watching him. Their temporary eye contact felt like a silent warning: “I’m by no means going to cease till you’re behind bars.”
