‘Chicago PD’ Season 2, Episode 20: ‘The Number of Rats’

Chicago P.D.

Chicago PD season 2, episode 20 airs tonight on NBC.

SVU’s Benson, Fin and Amaro help with the investigation of a rape-murder that’s similar to a decade-old case in New York; and, after he’s questioned, a suspect warns Lindsay that the investigation could have unintended consequences.

NBC describes the show as follows:

“From Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf and the team behind ‘Chicago Fire’ comes ‘Chicago PD,’ a riveting police drama about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s District 21, who put it all on the line to serve and protect their community. District 21 is made up of two distinctly different groups: the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head to head with the city’s street crimes, and the Intelligence Unit that combats the city’s major offenses – organized crime, drug trafficking, high-profile murders and beyond. The vast responsibilities that these jobs entail extend far beyond the walls of the precinct, often taking an emotional toll on the personal lives of these men and women.”

Chicago PD season 2, episode 20 airs April 29 at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC. Video below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
