History[]
During My Way, Pulpo is released from prison in protective custody for questioning. This creates some tension in the Intelligence unit specifically Antonio who still holds a grudge against the Crime lord for arranging the kidnapping of his son. Regardless, they are able to get him to cooperate after they discovered that he has a son with one of his former lovers. He sends Antonio has one of his men to fool another gang member to working with him in the gambit works. He is promised the chance to hug his son and lover but uses this is a ploy to escape. He was able to acquire a gun kill the Marshall, the guards, and critically wound Antonio.
In The Docks, a manhunt is issued for Pulpo who uses past connections to hide him, while dropping off his family. After getting a new identity, Pulpo tries to escape the country inside a shipping container. Intelligence locate the forger who reluctantly gives him up but he is brought in for aiding Pulpo. Pulpo's family is found with his girlfriend being arrested and his son put in foster care. Intelligence soon discover Pulpo's transactions with a Russian gang, who run a night club for their drug operation. The club owner makes a deal with Voight and offers up Pulpo's location - and they find the fresh-shaven drug lord without incident. As promised, Voight dismisses everyone except Olinsky, and they bring Pulpo to an undisclosed warehouse. The scared Pulpo begs them for mercy, promising an enemy gang or to be sent back to prison, but is ignored and beaten viciously, before he is gagged and tied up for his crimes. He is soon loaded up in the trunk and taken to the docks, where cement with ropes tied to his neck. He once again begs to be arrested. However, Jay Halstead (who visited the still living Antonio and learned their location) arrives and finds the three of them, moments before sinking Pulpo into Lake Michigan wearing a "Chicago necklace" - chains around his neck linked to cement blocks. Voight refuses to give in - until Olinsky sides with Halstead. Pulpo will receive his day in court. Because of this, Pulpo is spared and taken back to prison by the Marshals.
