Nightmare in Chicago

Police in Rockford fear the killer known as 'Georgie Porgie' who preys on blondes and has already claimed five victims in Pinhook, Indiana. The latest assault occurs inside a Chicago strip club, where a woman is strangled. The investigation links the case to a car found abandoned near a Tollway oasis.

Investigators discover the killer's car abandoned on the road near an Illinois Tollway oasis. A waitress recalls that he wore sunglasses, and a doctor suggests the sunglasses may be tied to mydriasis. Police step up road blocks along toll roads to trap him.

Georgie Porgie shoots and kills a man outside the Tollway oasis and steals his vehicle. This act marks another violent turn in his spree as he continues the pursuit with the new car.

He parks his car sideways in the middle of the road, causing multiple crashes as other drivers scramble to avoid him. A good Samaritan stops to help, but Georgie Porgie kills him to steal his car.

Police set up blocks along the toll roads in Chicago to trap the killer and shine flashlights into passing drivers' eyes. The effort aims to spot him amid heavy traffic and prevent further escapes.

A nuclear missile convoy codenamed 'Long John' moves through the Chicago area, greatly complicating the police response. Traffic and security concerns mount as investigators try to coordinate the search with the convoy's passage.

Georgie Porgie returns to the oasis where he had seen a blonde waitress, but instead kidnaps her brunette coworker Bernadette as she is leaving. The kidnapping raises the stakes as the killer tightens his grip on his victims.

When Bernadette pleads with him not to kill a man he is strangling, he relents and locks the man up. He then steals an Illinois Tollway maintenance truck to continue the chase.

He merges with the Long John convoy, pretending he needs to stay with it until it passes through the checkpoints. This ruse allows him to navigate the security controls while remaining undetected for a time.

The police identify the maintenance truck as not authorized for the convoy and stop it at the next checkpoint. They begin to separate the truck from the convoy's path and secure the area.

When a police officer shines a flashlight in his eyes, Georgie Porgie screams in pain and leaps from the truck. He is surrounded by officers with flashlights on all sides and ultimately captured.

Bernadette takes Georgie Porgie's sunglasses from the floor of the maintenance truck. The small act occurs as dawn approaches and the situation stabilizes.

With the sun rising, the police plan the rest of their morning operations. They coordinate follow-up actions and prepare to file initial reports.

Commissioner Lombardo contemplates playing handball as part of the morning routine. The notion signals a momentary calm before continuing the investigative work.

Brockman and McVea head back to the office to file reports and wrap up incident documentation. The team prepares to close the day’s case as daylight fully arrives.
