Detective: "Go, Antonio. Mitchell, let him in, let him in." he motions for the officers

Antonio: "Laura!" he calls out, pushing past the people in the room

Laura: "Antonio. Antonio'' he runs over and pulls her into a hug "Oh, God. Our baby, he's gotta be so scared."

Antonio: "I will get him back."

Laura: "I know you will. You have to." she assures as Antonio looks over at where Voight comes up to the pair

Antonio: "What do we know?"

Voight: "There's no cameras in the alley. We're checking the streets on both sides for ATM video."

Antonio: "Neighbors?"

Voight: "One lady gave us a white van, but no license, no driver description, nothing. Detectives are rolling, squads are canvassing the area and knocking on doors, checking for cameras. Someone's on the pods right now."

Antonio: "We have security cameras out front, but nothing in the alley."

Voight: "I know."

Man: "Para Laura, para Laura! Sir..." he calls out in Spanish from the entrance holding up a piece of paper in his hand

Voight: "Let him in. Let him in!" he motions for the officers as he rushes over, handing Antonio a note

Antonio: "Pulpo free by midnight, or your son dies." he reads, making Laura release a horrified gasp, burying her face into his neck

Antonio: "Where's my son?"

Pulpo: "Uh...uh, I know he's not here" he looks around the cell he's in "Beyond that..." he shrugs

Antonio: "I don't think you want me to ask you again."

Pulpo: "Ah, si, si, si, si. I heard about this type of thing back in Bogota. Yeah. Your son was kidnapped, yes? Yes" he chuckles "Yeah, I read that many times. Many, many times. If the kidnappers were given what they wanted, then the wife or son was returned, not a single scratch on their faces" he nods, making Antonio bang on the cell bars before storming off "Maybe you should give 'em what they want, Antonio, whatever that may be. If you want to see Diego again, that is." he calls out, shrugging at Voight who gives him a hard look

Voight: "They took Antonio's son. And they took my own, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing else matters till we get Diego back. Nothing." he declares, Jay and Erin exchanging a quick look

Jay: "Sarge. So this all started with Rev and Coop getting their heads chopped off. And both did essentially the same job for Pulpo, mid-level distribution, right? So we know Pulpo's cleaning house. And what do you do when you get rid of old furniture? You got to bring in something new. This guy stood out" he holds a photo up for everyone to see "It's Ernesto Milpas. He was running 15 corners between 22nd and Kedzie when CPD pinched him in '09."

Antonio: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was on that bust with Jules."

Jay: "He was released last year."

Antonio: "He was a climber."

Erin: "Maybe he's looking to get promoted."

Jay: "He's the best of a lot of bad options."

Voight: "What do we have on him now?"

Jay: "P.O.'s got an address that's a year old."

Genevieve: "That Liam?" she questions, looking over at where Madeline denies a call, quickly sending a text message
