Tensions are reaching a boiling point in Chicago P.D., and according to Shawn Hatosy, there’s no peaceful resolution in sight. The actor, who plays Special Agent Reid, recently hinted that his character’s growing conflict with Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) will escalate into a full-blown battle that “can’t end nicely.” With the Intelligence Unit already on shaky ground, this looming showdown could change everything.
A Clash of Titans
From the moment Agent Reid stepped into Voight’s world, their ideological differences were clear. Voight, known for his unorthodox methods and willingness to bend the rules, has built his reputation on doing whatever it takes to bring criminals to justice. Reid, on the other hand, is a by-the-book federal agent with little patience for Voight’s moral gray areas. Their uneasy alliance has been hanging by a thread, and as the season progresses, it’s clear that the tension between them is about to explode. Hatosy, known for his intense and layered performances, has brought a formidable presence to Chicago P.D. His character’s rigid sense of duty directly opposes Voight’s streetwise instincts, creating a volatile mix that’s bound to erupt.
The Breaking Point
While Chicago P.D. has always thrived on internal conflicts, Voight’s feud with Reid is different. It’s not just a power struggle—it’s a fundamental disagreement about how justice should be served. According to Hatosy, the situation between them “won’t just fizzle out,” but instead will escalate into something far more dangerous. “Their philosophies are so different that there’s no middle ground,” he teased. “It’s going to blow up in a way that people won’t expect.”
For longtime fans of the show, this battle could have major consequences. Voight has faced plenty of adversaries over the years, but his ability to outmaneuver them has kept him in power. Reid, however, represents a different kind of threat—one that could jeopardize Voight’s entire legacy within the Chicago Police Department.
What’s at Stake?
Voight’s career has been built on loyalty, but as his clash with Reid intensifies, will his own team start to question his leadership? With Chicago’s crime world growing more dangerous, Intelligence can’t afford to be divided. Yet, if Voight pushes too hard, he could find himself in a battle not just against Reid but also against those he trusts most. Hatosy’s comments suggest that viewers should brace for a dramatic shift in the show’s power dynamics. With emotions running high and trust breaking down, the Intelligence Unit may soon find itself at a crossroads.
One thing is for certain—this isn’t a conflict that will be solved with a handshake. When Reid and Voight finally collide, Chicago P.D. fans can expect nothing short of a fireworks display.
