Chicago P.D. Episode 2.07 They'll Have to Go Through Me

Be sure to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 of the #CrossoverWeek story before reading the conclusion below.

The Intelligence team rushes to Chicago Med to find Lewellen and his guard - a longtime Chicago officer and an instructor at the academy - both murdered. This hits hard and when New York Special Victims Unit detectives Amaro and Rollins arrive in Chicago with Voight, everyone volunteers to do their part to catch the killer and find the snakehead of the pedophilia ring.

Amaro and Ruzek follow an odd financial connection between Lewellen and a nursing home resident with no knowledge of his involvement. Turns out Lewellen funneled money through the resident's daughter, Matilda Hughes, who in turn used her position at the Department of Child and Family Services to refer children to a crooked foster parent. This foster parent then shuffled the children from Chicago to New York. Problem is, each one of these contacts ends up dead, Hughes in her own apartment in an apparent murder, and the foster parent from a self-inflicted gunshot... that occurs in front of Lindsay and Rollins.

The case looks dead until Roman and Burgess finally snag an ID on the shooter from a local boxer. Intelligence and SVU set their sights on Todd Ledbetter, but he gets the jump on them outside his apartment and ignites a chase. Amaro and Halstead sprint through the neighborhood and over rooftops, just a few steps behind Ledbetter. Unfortunately, the chase ends when Ledbetter slips off a roof to his death. Inside Ledbetter's apartment, Lindsay manages to rescue a missing girl named Amy, one of two known missing children. Lindsay takes Amy home instead of dropping her back into the foster system, determined to protect her from any future abuses.

Again at a loss with the case, Voight receives more bad news - in 24 hours, Commander Fischer will redirect the case to Major Crimes, citing a conflict of interest between Lindsay and a victim in the pedophilia ring, her brother Teddy. This forces Voight to call in a favor to Benson from SVU. She hops on the next plane to Chicago and joins the rest of the team at Intelligence.

Meanwhile, with Lindsay's urging, Bunny helps track down Teddy and the three of them meet in a diner. Lindsay pressures Teddy to help them with the investigation and he reluctantly accompanies her to District 21, only to pause in front of the evidence board... he recognizes the head of DCFS as the leader of the ring, the snakehead. Stunned, Intelligence arrests Bill Van Camp and drops him in the cage where Voight starts his patented form of interrogation - until Benson stops him. She demands two minutes with the perp and pleads with Van Camp to at least give up the location of the other known missing child. With Benson's convincing, he leads Intelligence to one last stash house where they rescue the child - dazed, rattled, but alive.

With the case finally settled and Van Camp in jail for the crimes, SVU heads back to New York. Teddy agrees to stay with Bunny for the time being and, in an emotional moment, Lindsay locates a single, trustworthy foster home for both of the rescued children. After an intense case that reaches across two cities and dozens of lives, at last there's a silver lining.
