  • Complete Monster: Gerald Demus is a religiously-motivated Serial Killer who wants to recreate the body of Christ in time for the Resurrection on Easter by assembling it from stolen body parts. He performs one murder for each body part—limbs, head, torso—with six planned victims total. Chicago P.D. homicide detective John Prudhomme eventually tracks down Demus and interrupts one of his rituals, but is too late to save his latest victim, who dies of massive trauma and blood loss in John's arms. After a pursuit, Demus captures John's partner and dresses him up in his own disguise so he can get away and the cops will shoot one of their own. The unfortunate detective needs to have his leg removed, which Demus later steals to make up for lost time. Deciding that John personally must be punished for his interference, Demus breaks into John's home to murder his wife and sends him a taped message informing him of this, only to kill his wife's best friend by mistake and leaving the body behind for John to find. After he completes the body of Christ, he heads over to a maternity ward to sacrifice a newborn child, killing several nurses and orderlies along the way.
  • Narm: The whole flashback showing how John lost his son. Made even worse that alongside John getting knocked down by a random rollerskater, he's unable to catch up to his son, who actually looks back at him when he falls and doesn't even try and stop, and who is riding a child's bicycle with training wheels, even getting so close that John can swipe at the (clearly still slow-moving) bike's rear tire and miss. Even worse is that we see the (obviously dummy) child then somehow fall off a bike with training wheels and be crushed under a car.
