JONAH: Dawg, what is it
with you and Springsteen?

Who doesn't love Springsteen?

I don't know. Anybody under 40?

Nah, you're sleeping

- on Springsteen, man.
- I'm not sleeping on anything.

[laughter, chatter]

- Uh, excuse me. Ladies.
- No, no.

JONAH: Ladies, ladies, this is

- my friend Sean...
- Hi, Sean.

Hi.

...and we were just
having a bit of a debate.

- Hi.
- Hi.

We were hoping that you guys
could help us settle it.

- What is this, trivia night?
- Maybe.

I'm gonna say a name,
you tell me the first thing

- that pops into your head. Okay?
- Okay.

Bruce Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen?

Springsteen?

See? Nothin'.

[gasps] The Boss!

- Oh, in your face!
- The Boss!

Well, uh, congratulations,

but that makes you about 40. Oh...
- That was a test.

Uh, and that's two
outta three, so I win.

Well, I'll take the loss,
but I gotta know your name.

- My name?
- SEAN: Yeah.

Sophie.

- It's nice to meet you. Sean.
- Hi.

- Sean. Sean.
- Nice to meet you, Sean.

Reagan. Reagan! Fire!
There are people up there.

MAN: Look! Right there!

[people shouting]

Call 911!

Yo, Jonah, wait!

[fire alarm wailing]

[coughing]

- [indistinct shouting]
- Hey.

- Hey. You all right?
- [coughing]

Is there anybody still up there?

I heard someone scream upstairs.

Let's go.

SEAN: Hey, everybody stay calm, okay?

We're Boston PD. Get outside, all right?

[woman shouting]

- JONAH: Hello?
- WOMAN: Help!

Hello? Boston Police Department!

Stay calm, we're coming for you.

- [screaming]
- [coughing]

- SEAN: Hurry up, man!
- [coughs]

Whoa!

- SEAN: You all right?
- Yeah. Let's go.

[coughs]

[woman yelling]

Here! Here, here!

- Hey, back there!
- Hey! We gotta call

for backup, all right?
We're cops, not FD.

Fire won't know the difference.

Go check those offices!

Jonah! There's somebody back there, man!

Ma'am, can you hear me?

Hey. Ma'am.

Hey, we gotta go. Come on...

JONAH: Sean, we gotta get out of here!

Jonah!

She's dead!

She's dead! g*nsh*t wounds!

Grab my hand. Come here.
Keep your head down.

We gotta get out of here, Sean!

[grunts]

[phone ringing]

I thought we said,
when we stay at my place,

we turn our ringers off.

It's your phone, smart-a*s.

Well. Sorry.

Reagan.

What?

Where?

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, Boston General. I'm on my way.

What's wrong?

It's Sean.

Is he okay?

I don't know.

I gotta... I gotta go to Boston.

[monitor beeping steadily]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[sighs] Oh, God.

[sighs heavily]

You must be Sean's dad.

Jonah. Right?
His buddy from the academy?

Were you with him?

It's not too bad.

Just pulled it trying to
get Sean out of there.

I was helping these two women.

And then Sean, he saw one more, and...

she was already dead.

I'm sure you did everything
you could to help her.

No, wait, wait. It wasn't from the fire.

She was shot.

You know, the doctors,
they... they keep saying

that it's gonna take a miracle
for him to wake up today.

Yeah.

JONAH: Maybe even tomorrow.

Where was the fire?

[quiet chatter]

OFFICER: Ah. Stinks in here.

How you doing, O'Brian?

OFFICER 2: Detective on deck.

Who's that?

Lena Silver, BPD.

You made of sugar, Detective Silver?

What's the matter, Detective?

You afraid to get your shoes wet?

Average building fire burns
at 1800 degrees, yeah?

Clothing disintegrates at around 600.

Blood boils at 212, DNA is fried at 190.

So I'm thinking the best chance

these CSRUs have of finding any DNA

or trace evidence is
gonna be in the spots

where the fire cooled the fastest...

puddles you boys are just
dragging your knuckles through.

CAPTAIN: Watch your footwork.

Yeah.

- Back it off.
- Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

LENA: Died at her desk.

Hope she loved her job.

You figure out what caused the fire yet?

Blue-green shimmer inside this canteen

says kerosine with a turpentine kicker.

Probably several cans of the stuff.

There's heavy burn here,

but the char pattern looks like

someone doused a path of
accelerant through the office

and ignited it at door.

You got a theory of the m*rder already

or should we wait until a
sergeant detective gets here?

Ooh. So funny.

I figured you woulda had the
inside track on that promotion.

Must sting to get passed over.

Sprinkler system was disabled.

Lock on one drawer was picked.

Somebody was looking for something,

and they set the fire
to cover their tracks.

Check out the angle of the shots.

sh**ter walked right up
to her, fired point-blank,

standing over her desk.

This feels personal.

Hmm.

Oh, have the report sent
to my desk. Thank you.

SARAH: This is a standard presser.

They want an update from the police,

not a headline from
the district attorney.

The press don't want a headline?

- Who you talkin' to, Sarah?
- D.A. Mae Silver,

who never misses an opportunity
to push for justice.

Please tell me this isn't something

I need to take to the commissioner.

Sweetie, you should be the commissioner.

Mom... Please.

Have you seen Jonah yet?

Yeah.

He's okay.

Good.

'Cause I'm gonna k*ll him.

[footsteps receding]

Good morning.

The victim discovered in last
night's Downtown Crossing fire

was Andrea Decker,
CEO of Image-Stats Inc.,

an IT company.

Now, it's my obligation to disclose

that the company is under
investigation by my office,

as was Andrea Decker.

[reporters clamoring]

One at a time.
One at... Carla, go ahead.

Image-Stats created the
facial recognition software

used by Boston PD that has
been accused of being biased

toward minorities.

Will this m*rder affect
your investigation?

No.

In fact, with the increased scrutiny

this tragic homicide will bring,

I have filed an emergency ordinance

to require police to
use special permission

before taking any action
based on Image-Stats analysis.

- REPORTER: Ms. Silver!
- That is the first I'm hearing

of a city ordinance.

Thank you, District Attorney Silver.

I will take it from here until
BPD has gotten up to speed

on the new requirement.

With that, I will leave you

in the superintendent's capable hands.

- Ms. Silver, question!
- [reporters clamoring]

Question! Ms. Silver! Ms. Silver!

One at a time, one at a time. Go ahead.

- [siren wails in distance]
- [indistinct radio chatter]

[conversing quietly]

Crazy what happened, huh?

You work there in the building?

Just lookin' like everybody else.

Except everybody else that's
looking is looking for cops.

Maybe to see a body being hauled out.

But not you.

You are really focused in
on that office up there.

Why?

Hey!

Come here! Police!

Hold it!

Police! Hold it!

- [tires screeching]
- [horn honking]

- [tires screeching]
- Out of the way!

[grunting]

Boston PD! Stop!

Stop right where you are.

- [grunts]
- Get down off the fence.

Why'd you run from my crime scene?

I was chasing a suspect.

And I would've got him

if you didn't stop me, Detective...

Lena Silver.

I'm Detective Danny Reagan.

NYPD.

My shield is in my front chest pocket.

You mean your badge?

Where I'm from, it's a shield.

Slowly.

I'm turning slowly.

I'm gonna reach for my shield,
Detective.

There you go.

You keep up with us the whole way?

NYPD.

What, you one of those Bronx boneheads

- thinks girls can't run?
- I'm from Brooklyn.

It's just... we were goin' pretty fast.

I don't know. Thought maybe
you ran track or something.

Maybe you're not as fast as you thought.

- Pretty far from New York, aren't you?
- Yeah.

My kid got hurt in the fire last night,

and I was about to get some answers,
till you stopped me.

Sean's your son?

You know Sean?

From my brother. He was with him.

You're Jonah's sister?

Do you have an evidence glove?

Pretty sure that guy dropped something

before he hit the fence.

I heard it drop over here.

What do you know?

Looks like we found our first clue.

What do you mean "we," Brooklyn?

I just delivered our
first lead, Beantown.

Come on. You can trust me.

I've done this once or twice before.

Uh, nothing's changed, Dad.

If anything changes,
I'll call you right away.

Yeah. Me, too, Dad. Bye.

Oh. Your lab connected

the tool we found in the alley

to scratches on Andrea Decker's desk.

No identifiable fingerprints,

but they did track the logo
to a local hardware store.

Lab confirmed. Kerosine and
turpentine, like I said.

Now, that's a lead on the fire case.

Looks like you're nowhere on the m*rder.

I'm sorry. Uh...

you call that police work, Detective?

You confirmed two
chemicals that any clown

could purchase at any
superstore in the United States

and you throw it in her
face like it's evidence?

You wanna say that again?

I just said it to you and you
didn't do a damn thing about it.

- I don't know what...
- He's right.

Unless you have something actionable,

you should be at your desk doing
exactly what they're doing:

looking for who did this.

Yes, ma'am.

Sarah Silver.

Danny Reagan.

I'm sorry for coming in hot,
Superintendent, Detective.

He was out of line.

It's understandable.
Can only imagine how you must feel.

I know if anything ever
happened to my sister,

I'd be right where you are.

Hold on.

You two are sisters?

- You didn't tell him?
- Well, how do you think

I introduce myself?

"Hi, I'm Detective Silver.

I'm sister to Sarah,
superintendent of all the land."

Oh...

Uh, sorry, it's just...

you're so...

- White?
- Well, I was gonna

say young to be superintendent...

- Oh.
- ...but, yeah, white, also.

Understood.

Her dad married my mom
when we were kids.

Got it.

I spoke to the NYPD Commissioner...

- Ah.
- ...who vouched for you.

Your dad's voice counts for a lot,

even this far from home.

I've authorized you to consult
with Boston PD on this case.

- LENA: Huh.
- Danny Reagan, son of Frank,

commissioner of all the land.

SARAH: Speaking of, my commissioner

just handed me my a*s

over Mom's new facial
recognition ordinance.

- Mom?
- Mae Silver, the D.A.

We are chasing down

a lead that Danny spotted
at the crime scene.

We'll keep you posted, Superintendent.

Doing the math, here.

Your sister is the
superintendent of detectives,

your mom is the D.A.

who's jamming us up on the
face recognition software,

and your younger brother
is a rookie beat cop?

- Yeah. Half-brother, technically, but...
- Oh.

...we never looked at it as
"half" or "step."

We're just one big, happy,

- kinda confusing family.
- A little confusing,

but, hey, family's family.

LENA: Let's go visit
that hardware store.

How are you holding up?

I'll be better when my son wakes up.

- And when we catch this guy.
- Mm.

How are you holding up?

What do you mean?

I have a sister, too.

You think I didn't notice
the tension between you two?

Month ago, a sergeant
detective promotion opened up.

I put in for it, but got passed over.

And your sister is the one
that did the passing over?

Fair and family do not always mix.

Is that why Sean moved 200
miles away to become a cop?

'Causes he would've been
third-generation NYPD.

Fourth generation.

When he told me he wanted to be a cop,
I was all for it.

But the NYPD had a hiring
freeze because of budget cuts.

And he wouldn't let me and my
old man pull any strings, so...

I was the one who suggested
he come to Boston.

[sighs]

[bell tolling]

Have Charlie prep a briefing
for the Malakov case.

- [knock at door]
- Yes, ma'am.

Good job, kid.

Thanks, Enzo.

- MAE: Hi.
- I know. I'm sorry.

I should've come and seen you sooner.

Probably good you didn't.

I was furious with you this morning.

Now I'm just glad to see you.

You can't be cleared for duty already.

No, no. I just met with my lieutenant.

Don't worry. It's just protocol.

I know.

How's Sean?

Uh, the doctors, they're optimistic.

Uh, his dad's in town.

We need to invite him to dinner.
He's gonna need support.

Okay. I will, if I see him again.

[phone ringing]

I'm gonna let you get back to work.

- Okay.
- I just wanted to stop by and say "hi."

- Okay.
- I will see you at dinner tonight.

All right. See you at dinner.

All right, hardware store confirmed

multitool was a thank-you
gift for bulk orders.

Oh.

Only two of that model
were given out, though.

First customer alibied out.

Leaving us with... Carlos Delgado.

Who lives right here.

He's in there.

Boston PD with a warrant!

Open up!

He's going out the back!

Hold it!

LENA: Don't move!

- Don't move.
- I didn't do anything!

Sure you did. You fled from the police.

Twice.

Then you tripped over a garbage bin.

Looks like you m*rder*d Andrea Decker

and almost k*lled my son

trying to bury the evidence.
Get up. Get up!

How did you get ahead of us?

Are you sure you didn't run track?

You hate that I'm faster
than you, don't you?

Maybe.

Carlos Delgado.

You got a PI license.

What are you doing?
Why not just level with us?

Sure. 'Cause the cops are known
for being so understanding.

I'm innocent.

Then why the hell'd you run?

[Danny sighs]

Why did you run?

'Cause I've been snoopin'
in Decker's office.

Figured I might've left some
evidence that I'd been inside.

Snooping in her office for what?

She'd been cutting corners.

Rival company hired me to find proof.

I broke into her desk couple weeks back.

Didn't find anything.

You broke into her desk weeks ago?

Tool matches. Timeline doesn't.

You better have proof
to back that story up.

And one hell of an alibi.

Call my office, you'll get both.

But I'm pretty sure
it was one of her own

- who k*lled Andrea Decker.
- LENA: One of her own

employees had it out for her?
What makes you say that?

When I was in the office,
I heard an argument.

An employee she fired
didn't take it too well,

got into a screaming match. Stormed out.

A week later she's dead?

I'm lookin' at the screaming guy.

- You know Screaming Guy's name?
- No.

I think he was a software engineer.

I didn't see his face.

Think he was a Black guy.

Black guy.

- [sighs]
- [door closes]

DANNY: All right, Doc. Thank you.

Update me whenever you can.

[Danny sighs]

I'm checking the
Image-Stats employee list.

Looks like you crossed out
a lot of names already.

Well, if Delgado's story is true,

about the software engineer,
then he should be on this list.

So I already crossed out
the female employees,

and now I'm focusing on
Black-sounding names.

Whoa. Wow.

If I did that in New York,

I'd probably get a call from HR or IA.

[chuckles] I can check every Tom,
d*ck, and Harry later,

but right now I'm counting on

the tech industry's
under-hiring of Black men

to work in our favor.

And looky here.

Two software engineers.

Okay.

Well, if one of these two
lost their job last week,

maybe they already posted

to one of those job search
websites or something.

That's a really good call.

All right.

No résumé for the first one.

Let's check this name.

Oh! Here we have a résumé
posted by a Marquís Rawlins.

And his last employer was Image-Stats.

- So that's our disgruntled employee?
- That's him.

And we have his photo, so we can...

we can run a facial rec search

against building security footage

and that should be enough
to get us a warrant.

- Great. Let's do it.
- Wait.

The lieutenant has to sign off.

And there's a lot of eyes
on this software right now.

Not for nothin',
but my son was almost k*lled,

your brother could have been k*lled.

We gotta wait around for paperwork?

This is not New York.

What is that supposed to mean?

You got a reputation, you know?

- For getting things done.
- You're a great detective.

But how many times did your dad,
the NYPD commissioner,

look the other way when
you crossed the line?

I have to show my work.

All my "T"s crossed, all my "I"s dotted.

I hear you.

And when it comes to my old man,

nothin' made him happier than
to make an example out of me

for the rank and file.

But he also knew that sometimes dotting
"I"s and crossing "T"s

has to come second to right and wrong.

I'm not asking you to break any rules.

I'm just saying,
sometimes I pick my spots.

Where are you going?

LENA: I'm going over
the lieutenant's head.

I'm picking my spot.

What's up?

We have narrowed our suspect pool

to a disgruntled employee
with means and motive.

Oh, hey, Sarah. How's your day going?

Well... [scoffs] Pretty crazy,
actually, Lena.

Okay. You have means and motive.

So now we need opportunity.

And I need to run a facial
recognition search against

security footage to
place him at the scene.

I assume you filed an official request.

No. There's no time for that.

I came to you.

You're supposed to have my back.

What's that supposed to mean?

Is this about the promotion?

I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

Look, it k*lled me to not promote you.

You're a brilliant detective.

But...

It wasn't your turn.

This job comes with as
much politics as policing.

But there was an equally
qualified detective

who'd been waiting longer.

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Well, you just apologized,
so that means you owe me one.

- Hmm?
- Yeah. You just apologized.

- You know that's what it means.
- No.

- Lena... No.
- Yeah. Yeah, it does.

I need to use the facial
recognition software, Sarah.

We do not have time for
Mom's political red tape.

This is for Jonah.

DANNY: No. Send it right over.

I... [sighs]

This is your house.

I shouldn't have pushed so hard.

May be gettin' a little
personal for me, with my son.

I'm very sorry.

I understand.

We're good.

And it worked.

- It worked?
- It did. It worked.

Well, while you were making it work,

I did a little bit of
coloring inside the lines

and found out that Marquís
Rawlins has a GL*CK

registered in his name.

Same as the sh**ter.

LENA: Doesn't look good for Marquís.

It's time to run the facial recognition

software on the security footage.

You know Sean and Jonah are on it.

[indistinct shouting on video]

Facial rec program gives
a partial ID confirming

it is Marquís Rawlins.



- Is 72% enough to go on?
- No.

But... there's gotta be...

There we go.

He used a personalized keycard

to enter building right
before the fire started.

So we have corroborating evidence

and a facial rec match.

That's right. Let's go.

Where's the suspect?

Visual at the four side.

Making entry.

LENA: Boston PD! Don't move!

- Hands up!
- Hey, hey, wait, wait! Wait!

- Hands up! Hands up!
- Okay! Okay!

- All right, all right!
- That's him.

Cuff him.

You going somewhere?

This is about that fire, right?

My old boss that got k*lled?
Andrea Decker?

I k*lled her.

I k*lled Andrea Decker.

DANNY: Detective?

DANNY: Well, you got a confession,

we got a partial face rec,

and this guy appears to
like to play with fire.

But you think we're missing something.

Guy's packing a bag, we show up,
he just starts talking?

[Danny sighs]

Was a little bit too easy, wasn't it?

Yeah.

[monitors beeping]

[sighs]

I'm pretty sure I said
nobody needed to come.

Since when have I ever listened to you?

[Danny breathes deeply]

- Any update?
- No.

No changes.

Nurses told me you were out
trying to find who did this.

Did you catch him?

We got a guy. He copped to it.

Solid evidence, but we can't
find the m*rder weapon.

"We"?

Detective Lena Silver.

She likes to check every box.

You have a suspect in custody,

solid evidence, and a confession.

- Mm-hmm.
- Back home, you would be begging me

to bring charges already.
You must really trust her.

She's good, and I ain't back home.

We gotta get this right.

- You always do this, you know.
- What do I always do?

Bury yourself in a
case so you don't have

- to face your own life.
- What? Come on.

This case is my life.

How long you staying?

Until I know you're okay.

Till you know he's okay.

Mm, we have a hospital
full of doctors seeing to that.

I'm here until I know you're okay.

Thank you.

[sighs] Oh, kid...

Kept going on about how
great this stupid city is.

Gotta tell you, I've been here
a minute and I don't see it.

[Jonah sighs]

Hope it's okay that I'm here.

I just got cleared by the doctor.

This is my sister, Erin.
Erin, this is Jonah.

He's Lena's brother.

He pulled Sean from the fire.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh.

ERIN [whispers]: Thank you.

Of course.

I heard you caught the guy.

Well, word travels fast.

Uh, yeah, your sister has doubts.

So do I.

Well, I was, um, I just checking in.

So... I'll let you guys...

Oh. Actually, um...

I don't mean to intrude,

but my mom wants me to
invite you to dinner tonight.

It's just down the street.
It's at her house.

I'm just gonna drop you the location

in case you want to come.

Thank you.

It was nice to meet you.

Yo, Colman, you still work
at the evidence locker?

Yeah, dawg. Here right now.

Yeah, I need a favor.

[Danny sighs]

You're going.

I can't go.

If this happened in New York...

- It didn't happen in New York.
- Okay.

But if it did, would you let Lena

- not come to family dinner?
- Of course not.

But this is different.

- Okay, then you're going.
- [sighs]

You can get cleaned up.
Maria packed you some clothes.

You should call her, by the way.

- She's worried sick about you.
- I w...

I will.

And I'll go to dinner, if
you come along with me.

Come on.

♪ I don't think there truth to ♪

♪ Anything you're talking about ♪

[car door closes]

♪ Trying to find some sense... ♪

- Erin, right?
- Yes.

I'm Lena. Nice to meet you.

Spent the day working with your brother.

And you still invited him to dinner?

- [laughs]
- Ha, ha. Not funny.

- Danny, yes? Hi.
- DANNY: Yes.

- My sister, Erin.
- MAE: Hi.

You're District Attorney Mae Silver.

It's an honor.

Thank you. It's nice
to meet you, as well.

Another Reagan. Welcome.

- Thank you.
- I'm Sarah.

- Hi.
- Are you a cop, too?

Lawyer. I'm in the New York
D.A.'s office. Trial Bureau.

I like her.

- Hello.
- Sorry I'm late.

- There he is.
- Had to run home real quick and change.

All good. [laughs]

You know how much I like that shirt.

- You look good. Come on.
- JONAH: Oh, thank you.

JONAH: Let's go. Let's get to it.

And, uh, let me show you both around.

- Follow me.
- ERIN: Okay.

LENA: My mom and dad
split up when I was born.

I was 13 when Mom married Ben
and converted to Judaism.

And Sarah is his daughter
from his first marriage.

She's been my ride-or-die
since middle school.

Then, uh, Jonah was born

right after Mom and Ben got married.

Our golden boy.

- He's a good guy.
- He joined the police academy

last year, after...

Ben got k*lled.

I'm sorry to hear that.

He was a circuit judge.

Got shot right outside the courthouse.

That's awful.

You learn to live with the loss.

Yeah. [sighs]

Um...

Is there somewhere I can wash up

- before dinner?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Right over there.
Head door across the way.

- [Lena chuckling]
- Oh, I knew it.

You ran track.

Guilty as charged.

- That's wrong.
- [Lena laughs]

[door opens]

Hey, Erin...

- [door closes]
- Can I ask you something?

Mm-hmm.

So, um...

I can tell that Danny plays things

really close to the vest...

...but I gotta know:
with Sean being hurt,

and the way he's attacking this case,

it's like he has been
through this before.

Is there anything that I need to know?

Well, this is Danny being Danny.

He attacks every case like
his own family's at stake.

But...

you're right. He, uh...

he's lost more than most.

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

I made it.

Hey.

Grandpa...

- Hey.
- Hey, sweetheart.

[both groan happily]

Come meet our guests.

This is Reverend Edwin Peters,
of Roxbury Baptist Church.

And this is Erin and Danny Reagan.

- Sir.
- Hi.

- And Danny is Sean's dad.
- Hi.

Come on in, everybody.

- It's time for blessings.
- Oh.

Baruch atah Adonai
Eloheinu Melech haolam

- [quietly]: Amen.

Blessed are You, God,

who has given us His commandments.

For you, we light candles
on Shabbat. Amen.

OTHERS: Amen.

[clears throat]

It's okay. We all do
what is meaningful to us.

- Thank you.
- Now let's eat!

- Yes.
- All right.

DANNY: A weekly family dinner.

Our families have a lot in common.

That's the same thing Sean said.

- He's been here?
- JONAH: Often.

Said that it reminded him of home.

Thank you, all, for looking
after him. Means a lot.

Lena has doubts about the
arrest this afternoon.

Mm. Sarah. This is not the time.

Wow, we're talking shop at the table.

It really is starting to feel like home.

[laughter]

For the record, I share her doubts.

MAE: Well, if there were doubts,

why did you grant the
facial rec request?

Did you tell her?

- I didn't tell her. Did you tell her?
- I didn't tell her.

It's the first one after
the new ordinance.

You think I wouldn't find out?

You relied on a police tool
that targets people of color,

making them victims of
harassment, false arrests,

- and worse.
- LENA: Mom...

For every one false arrest,



It's an impossible situation.
It's complicated.

But that's one life
potentially lost or ruined.

- Is it worth it?
- DANNY: The tech is just a tool.

I mean, if you add that
tool to lousy police work,

you're gonna get lousy results.

But if you add it to
quality police work,

then you can save that one
life that we're talking about.

Which...

is exactly what Lena's
trying to do right now.

SARAH: Marquís was packing
a go bag with one foot

out the door. You really
think he's innocent?

I really do. And his life is worth it.

- I agree.
- JONAH: I do, too.

EDWIN: Jonah?

You have something to say?

I took a look at the evidence.

I think that Marquís was packing

- the go bag for someone else.
- SARAH: Jonah.

- Did you meddle in an open investigation?
- It is my fault.

There was a burning building.
Sean wanted to call for help,

and I told him that we should
go in and now he is hurt.

Please, just let me help
with this investigation.

For Sean.

What makes you think
Rawlins is innocent?

In the bag, there was a
limited-edition pair of Dunks.

Those are thousand-dollar shoes.

Anybody who would own
those would not just

- throw them in the bag.
- LENA: And you know,

someone was sleeping on that couch.

Maybe somebody Marquís is covering for.

Seems like there's more
work to do, Detectives.

- [Danny clears throat]
- Yes, ma'am.

I'll be with Sean. Go.

Thank you for dinner.

- Thank you, Mom.
- Of course.

- EDWIN: See you.
- Yeah. Me, too.

- Love you, Mom.
- Love you, too.

- SARAH: Bye. Bye, Grandpa.
- Love you.

- MAE: Love you.
- Of course.

Well, there goes our family dinner.

More wine for us. L'chaim.

- Cheers.
- MAE: Cheers.

JONAH: Evidence Control
says the full list

should hit the system any minute.

We've combed through Marquís
Rawlins' entire life

and only found a speeding ticket

and a crazy ex-girlfriend.

Why do you assume the ex is crazy?

I don't assume she's crazy.

He says it himself in
these social media posts.

"Thought she was the one,
but she's obsessed with her ex."

"Finally ended things with Tanya."

I'm sorry. Can you go
back to that ticket?

Found this in the pocket of
Marquís Rawlins at his house.

The T has been under construction,

the Red Line's up next,

but these tickets are date stamped.

If Marquís was speeding
through Hyde Park,

h-how did he get a Red
Line closure notice

- in his pocket the same day?
- DANNY: I don't know about Boston,

but I don't know anyone

who drives all the way
home in their car,

then turns around to
take the subway back.

So it wasn't him.

And if Marquís wasn't riding the T,
then who was?

Whose shoes were in the bag?

DANNY: That's the
million-dollar question.

Look at this post.

"So proud of Caleb.

He's MIT-bound."

Who's Caleb? Maybe he's...

Tanya's son from a previous
relationship, before Marquís?

Yeah, but he's got a similar
look and build to Marquís.

So what's Caleb's last name?

Bruce.

The post was from a few years ago,
so maybe he's 20, 21 now.

Okay, yeah, I don't
have anything on him,

but I got a Caleb Bruce in his forties.

- Record a mile long.
- SARAH: Must be Caleb Sr.

The ex Marquís' girlfriend, Tanya,

- was obsessed with.
- Exactly.

- Could he be the k*ller?
- No. He's in Lancaster.

He's in a maximum security prison.

Okay. Well, if we could rule
out Caleb Sr. and Marquís,

then, Superintendent Silver,
I think we need

your authorization to
run the software again,

on Caleb Bruce, Jr.

You got it.

Good news.

We know, to a 99% certainty,

that it was not you who
k*lled Andrea Decker.

- Or set the fire.
- [breathes deeply]

But we also know that it
was your ex-girlfriend's son,

Caleb Bruce, who did.

We're guessing that you and
him built a very strong bond

while you were dating his mom, correct?

And just because things
went bad with Tanya

doesn't mean that you ever lose

that father and son connection with him.

Come on, I got a girlfriend,
she's got a daughter.

Regardless of what happened with us.

I can see you want to help him.

But you gotta help us.

DANNY: You do that,

and I promise you we
will bring him in safely.

Marquís, we will.

[clears throat]

Caleb, he's studying chemistry at MIT.

He's got a future, but
his dad has a hold on him,

even locked up.

He filled Caleb's head with lies that

the software I worked on was
the reason he got arrested.

And you were fired last week. Why?

I-I pushed Andrea to rethink the
platform the tech was built on.

You know, close the gap on
minority misidentification.

And instead she fired you.

- Yeah.
- DANNY: So that's

two father figures in Caleb's life

wronged by Andrea Decker.

- That's our motive.
- He's got a background

in chemistry, which means
he knows the right ratios

to mix accelerants,
he had access to a keycard

and to the m*rder weapon,
a g*n registered to you.

What do you think, Reagan?

I think we have all of our "I" s dotted

and all of our "T" s crossed.

Where is Caleb?

LENA: Marquís said the
Park Street station

is where Caleb switches trains.
He should be here.

Jonah, you got eyes on?

JONAH: No. Not yet.

DANNY: Okay. Keep your eyes peeled, kid.

I got him.

[woman yelps]

He's headed your way.

DANNY: Right there. That's him.

Police! Hold it!

Hold it!

[grunts]

Stay down.

Stay down! - LENA: Down!
- Stay down!

Get on the ground.

- You got him?
- Yeah. I got him.

DANNY: What do we have here?

GL*CK .22.

Yeah, and I bet it's
registered to Marquís Rawlins.

Marquís was just trying to help, man.

You want to do the honors, Reagan?

Nah.

It's the rookie's collar.

You did good.

Officer Silver.

[cuffs clicking]

JONAH: All right. Come on. Get up.

- LENA: Up, up, up.
- JONAH: Caleb Bruce,

you're under arrest for the
m*rder of Andrea Decker.

[organ playing hymn]

EDWIN: Let us always remember

that we are one family in faith

- and we have faith in our family.

I'm usually in church

- Mm.
- ...so I figured I'd take

the reverend up on his invite.

I'm glad you did.

- This is very beautiful, by the way.
- Thank you.

Very different than a
Catholic Mass, though.

Oh, yeah. Louder.

- A lot louder. Lot more fun, too.
- Yeah. [laughs]

- But don't tell anyone I said that.
- I won't.

Roxbury Baptist is

And how does this work in
your family, by the way?

You're Jewish, yet you

We come to see Grandpa's sermons

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- Hi... Oh. Hi.

Oh. Mom. Mom, Mom.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I am a Boston police officer.

And you know you don't
have to prove yourself

to anybody, right?

Have you met my sisters?

- Yeah.
- Sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

- Oh.
- And he's right, by the way.

- They are a tough act to follow.
- [Jonah chuckles]

But you should take advantage of it.

You could learn a lot from them, too.

Like Sean learned from you?

I wouldn't go that far.

No. No, no. That night
of the fire, Sean told me

that being a police officer is
like playing ball with Jordan

- or...
- Or playing drums for Springsteen.

- Yeah.
- Wow. Yeah.

That's a... an old Reagan family saying.

Reminds us to have faith in each other.

MAE: Your faith served you well.

Andrea Decker's k*ller is behind bars.

LENA: That's right. And the press...

they are all over

the facial recognition
software's vulnerabilities.

Marquís Rawlins was given
leniency for cooperating.

He's also gonna be
consulting to fix the bugs.

Hey. Great sermon, sir.

- Thank you.
- Faith and family.

I couldn't agree more.

Well, as promised,
I kept it short enough

that we can still make kickoff.

- [laughter]
- EDWIN: Care to join us, Danny?

Uh, I have to get back to the hospital.

- But I'd love to take a rain check.
- Ah.

So does that mean you'll be around?

I'll be in Boston as long
as Sean needs me to be.

SARAH: Well, BPD could use the help

if you ever want to
ride along with Lena.

Really?

What, you think you
can keep up, Brooklyn?

Not sure I can keep
up with you, Beantown,

but I would definitely give it a try.

[laughter]

I'll see you around.

- EDWIN: Okay.
- MAE: Okay.

Let's go.

[laughter]

[monitor beeping steadily]

[sighs]

You ready for Sunday dinner?

Guessing no pot roast.

Roast beef sandwiches, best I could do.

All right.

[inhales raggedly]

All right, you could say grace.

Bless us, O Lord...

BOTH:...and these Thy gifts

we are about to receive

- from Thy bounty...
- [monitor beeping faster]

...through Christ our Lord. Amen.
