DANNY:
There wasn't a dry eye
in the house

during your sermon today,
Reverend.

Oh, thank you.

The message always resonates

when the words
come from the heart.

I care deeply about
suicide prevention.

You know, it wasn't that long
ago when taking your own life

- was seen as a grave sin
by the Church.
- Mm.

Finally come to the notion
that a true believer

can't lose their salvation.

Ephesians 1:13-14.

Once saved, always saved.

Oh, you know your Scripture.

Well, years of Catholic school
and catechism class

baked into this brain.

I know you haven't chose
a parish yet,

but my door is open
until you do.

DANNY (chuckles):
I could probably use a few hours
of confession.

You know, we Baptists,
we confess directly to God.

- Ah, yes. Right.
- There's no middleman,

but I'm always here if you want
to get something off your chest.

I appreciate that.

You pile any more food
on that plate,

this charity breakfast might be
a net loss for the congregation.

You gonna eat all that?

Well, I'm gonna try.

I don't know why it's a thing
to invite Rodgers for Shabbat.

We all know him.

He was your partner
before he was your boyfriend.

Yes, but a relationship
is not there yet, Mom.

I want to take it slow.

I just think you don't want
to trust anybody again.

LENA:
But I don't see you giving
relationship advice

to Sarah or Jonah.

Just instilling my wisdom.

Well, maybe she's leaving
her options open

with so many
eligible bachelors around.

Right, Danny?

(Lena chuckles)

- Me and Danny?
- (phone dings)

I would smother him
with a pillow on our honeymoon.

- (laughs)
- Well, at least that means

you would've said yes
to the proposal.

(laughs)

Body in Hyde Park.

- We got to roll.
- Excuse me.

Sorry about that.

Love you both.

(toilet flushing)

SARAH:
Okay, I think
she's done throwing up.

It's mostly dry heaves now.

She dressed and ready to go?

She is in no shape
to go to school, Seth.

Well, she should have
thought about that last night

while she was pounding
wine coolers at Amber's house.

Hugging the toilet will be
more of a lesson

than anything she's gonna learn
at high school today.

No. She's going.

And there will be
more consequences,

not the least of which
is a week without screens.

You got that, Phoebe?

Dad, come on.
You're not serious.

That's exactly what I said when
I heard you sneak into the house

at 2:00 a.m. Let's go.

- Dad, I don't feel good.
- Go!

(door opens, closes)

Don't even get me started on
your rinky-dink tunnels, okay?

We got the Lincoln, Midtown,
Holland, we got Battery.

- Tunnels?
- Yeah.

Dude, that's a weird flex.

You don't think
architecture's cool?

Do you hear these questions
before you ask them,

- or do you just...
- (horn blaring)

(tires squealing)

(horns blaring)

Did that just happen?

Central, show Jake-101
responding to a crash.

Sir!

Sir, are you injured?

(slurring):
The friggin' guy came
out of nowhere. He cut me off.

Sir, we saw the whole thing.
Nobody cut you off.

Ah, go back to your car.

Go... go get some doughnuts,

catch some real criminals
or something.

Sir, we need you to step
out of the vehicle.

I don't got to do jack.

Sir, if you're not gonna
get out of the vehicle,

we're gonna
have to pull you out.

Okay, come on.

- Hey, don't touch my car!
- Come on.

- Come on.
- Back down!
- Hey, sir!

Hands behind your back!

- Come on!
- Hey, get your hands off me!

- Get down!
- No!

(man grunting)

- You can't do this!
- Behind your back!

- Hands behind your back!
- What are you doing?!

I'm-a have you hanging off
the back of a garbage truck...

- SEAN: Sir, you're resisting!
- ...by next week!

- (handcuffs clicking)
- Sean.

MAN:
Don't you put those cuffs on me.
Don't you put those cuffs on me!

What are you looking at?!

(siren whoops)

DANNY:
But I thought things were
going good with you and Rodgers.

They are, just not up to
my mom's standards, I guess.

- I didn't really ask
her opinion.
- Please. Sorry, sir, sorry.

Excuse us.

Look, I'm not taking
your mom's side,

but I'm just saying,
when it's your kid,

- it's hard to bite your tongue.
- (chuckles)

See? That's why I would smother
you with a pillow, right there.

You know, you didn't have to
laugh that hard

at your grandpa's joke.

It's not like I'm Quasimodo
or something.

You even know who that is?

Yeah, he played football
for Notre Dame.

He's one of the Four Horsemen,

the one with
the hunchback, right?

Oh. Guess not.

(low chatter)

It's okay, baby.

(crying):
We were visiting my friend
Miriam. It's her birthday.

We rang the bell
to get buzzed in,

and a man came in behind us.

He wore a mask and a hoodie.

I-I don't remember his face.

It's okay. Take your time.

Tell me what happened next.

He pointed the gun at Matt's
head, asking for money, and...

Matt got scared,
so he dropped the flowers,

and he went to take
his wallet out.

Matt was fumbling, and...

(whimpers)

He shot him in the head!

He just shot him!

Y-You said you rang the bell.
Did your friend buzz you in?

No, she never came.

I just grabbed Curtis,
and I-I held him tight,

and I-I closed my eyes to pray,

and when I opened them,
he was gone.

I'm gonna have the paramedics
take a look at you

and make sure everything's okay,
all right?

- We'll talk later on, all right?
- (sniffles)

- I want to see my son.
- Go ahead. Go ahead.

- MAN: What's going on here?
- (sighs)

That's my son!

(crying):
Let me see my son!

- DANNY: Hey! Hey, take it easy.
- Let me go!

- Let me...
- Hey, take it easy.

- Take it, take it easy.
- (crying)

I need to see my boy!

It's best you don't see him
like this, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Come on.

My... my son!

These officers are gonna
take care of you.

My son!
I-I just want to say goodbye.

You okay?

- MAN: Please.
Please let me see him.

I can't leave him like this.

- You with me, Reagan?
- Yeah, yeah. What do we got?

$200 pair of glasses
on the console.

Those wouldn't have lasted
ten minutes in this place

- with that broken window.
- Agreed.

So, the car break-in
just happened.

Likely interrupted
by the murder.

Maybe we have a good witness.

Or a scumbag who went from
jacking a car to taking a life.

We got to find this guy.

♪ ♪

- (sirens wailing)
- Yo, yo, talk to these guys.

Oh, you really stepped in it
this time.

Sir, we had no choice, okay?

We had the cuffs on before
we knew he was Boston Fire.

Come around.
Reagan, come around.

In delicate situations like
this, we use extreme discretion.

Now, that did not happen here,

so now we do damage control.

The way I see it,

an exhausted fireman
returning home from a long shift

fell asleep at the wheel,
has an accident, no injuries.

No injuries? He punched
my partner in the face.

And he wasn't exhausted.

- Are you...
- He was wasted.

Are you lecturing me?

- SEAN: Sir.
- No, sir.

We're not trying
to be disrespectful, okay?

Oh, hey, did you hear that, everybody?

Probationary Officer Reagan
wasn't being disrespectful.

OFFICER:
Room! Attention!

At ease.

I understand we have a member of

the fire department
under arrest.

Uh, yes, ma'am.
We're... we're sorting that out.

I've been briefed.
Seems cut-and-dry.

Aggravated OUI, assault
and resisting arrest.

What's to sort?

Nothing, ma'am.

Nothing to sort out.

SARAH:
Excellent.

You two, walk with me.
I need a word.

Well, that was embarrassing.

Not as embarrassing as
having "Iron Jim" Kavanaugh

pound you like
a chicken cutlet from Contessa's

in front of the entire station.

I don't need
my big sister to come

get my ball back
on the playground.

- I had it.
- Didn't look like you had it.

And I would've done the same
thing for any cop in that spot.

Boss, this guy was wasted.
He wanted to fight. He hit me.

If we didn't stop him,
he would've killed somebody.

- No, you did the right thing.
- Doesn't feel like it.

Listen, two rookie cops locking
up a beloved fire captain

is gonna raise some hackles.

Stick to your guns.
Tell the truth.

- I got your backs.
- (phone vibrating)

Thank you.

(door opens, closes)

- Hey.
- Hey, Sean.

I heard you guys got into it
with a smoke eater. You okay?

Bad news travels fast. Yeah.

Sarah's here, though.
She's got us.

Okay.

Just-- I'm here if you need me,
all right?

Thanks for the call,
but, Dad, I really got to go.

Okay. I'll catch you later. Hey.

I love you, son.

I love you, too.

That was sweet.

I've been a lot of things
in my life.

Father to a cop
is not one of them.

It's gonna take
some getting used to.

And this kid, I got to admit,

seeing his father all busted up
like that, it kind of got to me.

Well, it makes sense.

It wasn't that long ago
you almost lost Sean.

Yeah.

It's like we, uh...

we carry around all these
horrible things that we see...

...and we tell ourselves
it's not heavy

'cause it's the job.

But once in a while,
it's... it's too heavy.

I know.

And thank you, Dr. Phil.

Ah, well, anytime, Quasimodo.

As much as I love you being
squishy, especially about Sean,

I got to show you something.

Print hit on the car came back
to this chucklehead, Gary Ross.

Listen to this.

Last night, he's collared for
another stolen car in Mattapan.

Patrol had to cut him loose
because they couldn't get ahold

- of the owners
to sign the complaint...
- Mm-hmm.

...but the car is
the same make, model,

color and year as the one parked
in front of the crime scene.

Organized auto theft ring.

They jack specific
late-model vehicles.

So, hours after he's released,
he puts a rock

through that window so he can
check that car off of his list.

Do we like this guy Ross
for the shooter?

Nah. Nah, we don't.

His rap sheet is all car stuff.
There's nothing violent.

But if he didn't pull
the trigger himself,

there's a damn good chance
he saw who did.

He's on probation.

I got his last known address
and his employment info.

Let's go find out.

So, she says,
"G, why didn't you call me

"or slide into my DMs
or nothing?

I thought we was vibing
at the club."

So, I say,
"Oh, maybe you was vibing,

"but I didn't ask
for your digits, shorty.

You gave them to me."

Bitch threw a mojito in my face.
(laughs)

Sounds like a waste of
a good drink, if you ask me.

LENA:
I hope you got
a better story than that

about that car you tried to jack
in Hyde Park this morning.

Watch out!

- I'm on him!
- Son of a...!

- (grunting)
- Get off me!

- Get out of the way.
- Make me.

- Get out of the way!
- (shouts)

Get off of me.

I didn't do nothing!

DANNY:
Yeah, you did. I'm soaked.

You ruined my favorite suit.

- Up.
- I'm coming.

They teach you that takedown
in the academy?

Nah. I learned that from trying
to get the remote from Sarah

when we were kids.

I've run into burning buildings
with Captain Harris.

(stammers) The man's a hero.

Salt of the earth.

Doesn't excuse what he's done,

but I'm asking
for a little grace.

LANIGAN:
I hear you, Terry.

- Sarah, you look like you have
something on your mind.
- SARAH: Yes, Chief.

He assaulted
one of our officers.

He blew a .15--
that is twice the legal limit.

He could've killed someone.

Now, I admire his service, but
he does not deserve grace here.

Look, the man's going through
a horrible divorce.

His brother's battling cancer.
I mean, h-he could use a break.

How about a compromise?

I can ask the officers to drop

the assault
and resisting charges,

and if they're willing,
we issue Harris

with a reckless driving citation
and call it a day.

Or a cover-up.
I am not okay with that.

(sighs)

Terry, why don't you step out
for a minute

so Sarah and I can chat.

All due respect, sir,

a chief asking two rookies
to drop charges is wrong.

Would you feel the same way
if it wasn't your brother?

You're really gonna go there?

You're right. I apologize.

And I hear you.

But showing grace in
this situation is no different

than an uncle at the bank
giving a family member

a better mortgage rate.

It's my call.

I'm gonna leave it
up to Sean and Jonah.

(sighs)

Seriously? Now we're snitches
for arresting a fireman?

I'm gonna get something
to clean it off, okay?

No, no, no. Don't touch it.

I'm gonna find
the punk-ass cop that did this

- and make them clean it off.
- How you gonna do that, huh?

You gonna open an investigation,
track them down?

I was bullied as a kid, man.
I know how this works.

They want a reaction.
You can't give them one.

Yeah, well, we can't
just do nothing either.

People like that,
they're damaged souls, man.

Don't let them damage yours.
Just drop it.

- (Jonah groans)
- What?

Sarah wants us in the
captain's office in ten minutes.

So, when you're not detailing
cars, you're stealing cars?

Pays the bills.
I ain't proud of it.

Tell us about the car
in Hyde Park.

Better not be trying
to put a case on me

for that man who got lit up
in front of his family.

What do you know about that?

Snitches get stitches, yo.

And car thieves get prison.

A'ight.

There was some dude in a hoodie
chilling in the courtyard.

I was waiting for him to bounce

so I could do my thing
with that car.

Bougie family pulled up
in a dope Audi Q8 Quattro,

all-wheel drive,
luxury trim package,

I'm talking, like, a sweet...

Skip the car porn
and stick to the facts.

Family went toward the building.

Dude in the courtyard
followed them.

I didn't think nothing of it.

When they was gone,
I got busy with that car.

I popped the window and boom.

I heard a shot, a lady scream,
and I bounced.

That's it.

You know the guy in the hoodie?

Nah. Never seen him before.

You do realize
that man that was murdered

was killed right in front
of his wife and kid?

Hey! You knock that smile
off your face

before I knock it off for you.

All right, man. Chill.

Stop lying to us and tell us
what the hell happened!

Maybe I seen the fool around
last few weeks.

Never caught his name, though.
That's real.

(Lena chuckles)

All right, maybe
if we show you some photos,

you could pick this fool out.

- You think you can do that?
- Help with my cases, I can.

(door closes)

Gentlemen.

- Great job today.
- JONAH: Thank you,
Chief Lanigan.

Thank you, sir.

Some circumstances
have come to light

that I'd like to share with you.

Fire Captain Harris
is dealing with

some very serious
personal issues at home.

So, I'm asking you
to consider dropping

the OUI and assault charges

and issue a citation
for reckless driving.

I know he got rough with you,

so I'll respect your decision
either way.

No pressure.
It's entirely up to you.

We'll do it, sir.

It's no problem.

Laura, this is not
the right plea agreement

that I discussed with Michael.

Set up a meeting
for after lunch.

- Will do. Your office or his?
- (door opens)

- Have him come to me.
- (Danny clears throat)

LENA:
Why in the world
would you deny our warrant?

MAE:
We're not gonna draw up
a murder case

without enough evidence
for a conviction.

Thomas Baldwin was picked
out of a photo array

by an eyewitness who saw him
follow the victims

toward the building
seconds before the murder.

He also heard the shot,
and he heard the wife scream.

A witness with
a long criminal history

in the act of stealing a car.

Baldwin is
a violent predicate felon.

He was just released on parole
for armed robbery.

And you know that makes it
likely that he will not confess,

considering
that criminal history.

You cannot leave this killer
out on the street.

Then bring me enough evidence
so I don't have to.

- (door closes)
- Hey, babe.

- SETH: Hey.
- How was your day?

Are you kidding me?

- (sets down keys)
- No.

- No. No. No.
- Dad! What are you doing?

- What are you doing?
- I said no screens for a week.

That's my fault, Seth.

Sorry. She said
she needed it for homework.

- I said it was okay.
- It's not.

Oh, my God, Dad.
You're being a jerk.

I know, yeah.
I'm such a horrible father.

- Yeah, you are. She...
- Yeah. Get upstairs.

- I...
- She said it was fine.

I did.
I made a command decision.

It sounded reasonable. Homework.

Okay, so she could've
stayed after school.

There's plenty of computers
in the library.

Yeah, where I can't see her or
know if she's actually there?

- Right. And so that is
exactly the problem.
- (door closes upstairs)

We can't trust a word
that comes out of her mouth.

That is why I need you
to have my back here, Sarah.

Seth, I'm still trying

to figure out my boundaries
when it comes to Phoebe.

I don't want to always be
the bad cop.

No, no, no. But there is no bad
cop here if this is gonna work.

Okay? We need to be
on the same page.

Right now, like,
we're in different books.

Wow.

Okay. Um...

I'm sorry, it just feels like

you're taking this
a little personally.

Am I way off base or...?
What is going on?

It's not the first time. Okay?

With the drinking and the lying.

I get it, Seth.

It's bad.

But I remember 15.

It's confusing and scary.

She's gonna experiment.

She's gonna lie. We all did.

Being angry is only
gonna push her away.

And that's why I'd hoped
that you'd have my back.

(sighs)

Vic's father, Matt Sr.,
is on his way up, poor guy.

Anything?

Evelyn was adamant
that she rang Miriam's doorbell

before Matt was shot.

Why didn't Miriam hear it?

She was terrified.
Maybe she hit the wrong button.

- Or Evelyn's lying?
- Okay, but she had

classic trauma victim
body language.

- Or killer's remorse.
- Yeah, well,
what is your theory?

I don't have one yet.

Well, don't smother me

I'm just asking.

Trying to work this out here.
What's going on?

It's frustrating
because we could have

two rabbis and a priest
as witnesses

and my mom would still want
an imam and two Hindu pujaris.

Okay.
It's kind of what D.A.s do.

I mean, back home,
my sister would do

that stuff to me all the time.

Yeah, but my mom has
a thing with me.

Maybe your mom's
not picking on you.

Maybe she's actually
worried about you.

LENA:
Oh, he's here.

Mr. Miller.

Thank you for coming.

I'm so sorry.

We understand you've been
passing out flyers

around the neighborhood,
looking for witnesses.

- Have you had any luck?
- Nothing.

It's hard to believe
nobody saw anything.

This case is long from over.
We're working as hard as we can.

We spoke to almost everyone
in the building.

They all loved your son.

He loved everyone.

Everyone loved him.

I've lived in that neighborhood
for over 40 years,

so I wanted Matt to do
better than me.

And he did.

He got a job at a big firm
right out of college,

married Evelyn and bought
a big house over in Manchester.

Mr. Miller, this man is

a person of interest
in the murder.

We know he's from
the neighborhood.

You know him?

Of course I know him.
That's-that's Tommy Baldwin.

He dated Evelyn
before she met Matt.

- Good time? Bad time?
- Any time for you.

- Uh-oh. Am I in trouble?
- No, but Jonah might be.

He and Sean arrested
a fire captain yesterday.

- It's a bit of a mess.
- I'm aware. Charlie flagged it.

I thought the charges
were dropped.

Only after the chief asked
Jonah and Sean to drop them.

- Well, that smells like
a cover-up.
- It is.

I want your office to reinstate
the aggravated OUI.

I'll sign the complaint
if I have to.

You sure you want to kick that
hornet's nest?

Chief Lanigan is not
a man you want to mess with.

You always taught us
to fight for the right thing

even if it's the hard thing.

I think Jonah and Sean
need to see that.

All right,
send over the paperwork.

- I'll assign an A.D.A.
- Thank you.

Speaking of A.D.A.s, the leak
in your office, Beakman,

arrest hit the news.

Any of those cases
been reviewed yet?

They're working
through the system.

We need to tell Jonah and Lena.

Not yet.

All of the cases
could get overturned.

Dad's killer could go free.

I'm not gonna tell them
until it's absolutely necessary.

I'm all for crossing lines,
but are we crossing a line?

- How?

there is no line.

Fair enough.

(doorbell chimes)

My father-in-law
won't speak to me

after you showed him
that photo of Thomas.

Matt Sr. thinks I have something
to do with my husband's murder.

That's because we have a witness
who identified your ex

following you to the building
right before Matt was murdered.

That wasn't him.
I would have recognized him.

When was the last time
you spoke with him?

He called me a few days after
he got out of prison,

asking for help.

Well, the phone records tell
a different story.

Looks like he wanted
more than help.

These are dozens of calls
between you two,

mostly late at night,
going on for hours,

and then suddenly,
yesterday, it stops.

It's not what you think.

Then what is it?

My husband knew about
the phone calls.

We were trying to get Thomas
to join our church group.

But he was ashamed of his past
and didn't feel worthy.

Look, I'm sorry.

I have nothing more to say, and
I have my guests to get back to.

- Okay.
- You can see yourselves out.

(Danny sighs)

If she rang that buzzer,
her prints will be all over it.

Notice how she never mentioned
her husband by name.

It was always "my husband."

And she never said
that she loved Matt.

She was uncomfortable
with silence.

Yeah, and when all else failed,
she played the religion card.

BOTH:
She's lying.

the same thing

No need to explain.

in her story.

And I just went back through
her phone records.

She made a call
from her home phone

43 minutes before the murder.

The burner phone pinged
in Hyde Park.

That must have been the call

were on the way.

I think it's the best brisket

Apparently,
setting high bars is genetic.

Mom, did you get the new reports
that we sent over?

Are we finally good to go
on Baldwin?

The calls between Evelyn
and Baldwin are interesting,

as is their past relationship,
but it's still circumstantial.

SEAN:
I don't know.
Based off what my Dad said,

sounds like
the wife was in on it.

Yeah, we believe she was.

Why not just get a divorce?

Greed and lust--

It could be all seven sins.
You still have to prove it.

We believe that she watched
her husband get murdered

in front of her son,
and she'll fold

like a cheap tent in the box
and bring Baldwin down with her

- if we could get a warrant.
- What if she doesn't fold?

Any decent defense attorney
would rip your case to shreds.

I think it's time to bring back
the good, the bad and the ugly.

- Sarah, why don't you
start us off.
- SARAH: Yeah. Oh, great.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Uh, the good should've been
me convincing Mom to reinstate

the aggravated OUI on the fire
captain Jonah and Sean arrested.

- You guys arrested a fireman?
- He was drunk
and out of control.

JONAH:
And he got behind the wheel.

MAE:
That's how my mother died
when I was a little girl.

JONAH:
The day turned bad very quickly

when Ronnie Wilson graffitied
all over our desks.

- (mouths)
- Dude, I know it was him.

He's had it out for us
since our first shift.

Man, don't let him live
in your head rent-free.

Yeah, you two are gonna
have to serve with this guy,

so you're gonna have to
figure out a way to patch it up.

And I'm sorry to say
that's not the worst of it.

The fire captain retaliated
by filing

an excessive force complaint
against Jonah and Sean.

What? When did that happen?

I got the call
from Chief Lanigan

right before I left the office.

I'm sorry.

I really was trying
to protect you guys.

Uh, we can fight it,
and we will.

A force complaint-- that's
gonna extend our probation.

Jonah, body cam footage
doesn't lie, okay?

We did nothing wrong.

Yeah, Sean is right.
Jonah, it'll be okay.

Although, I guess
Superintendent Silver

has more pull than
Detective Silver

in getting the Boston D.A.

Uh, would you pass
the brisket, Seth?

Yeah. Yeah.

You want some salt
with that, too?

No, it's salty enough already
around here.

Very salty.

I saw that look in Lena's eyes,

I see a lot of you in Lena.

It's probably why we clash.

I often wonder if Mom and I
would have clashed like that.

(scoffs softly)

Your mother never clashed
with anyone.

She adored you and your sister.

She would've spoiled you rotten.

And I would've let her.

But if I'm being honest,

you do push Lena harder
than the others.

You might want to ask
yourself why.

I don't do it on purpose.

Lena's very good
at what she does.

She wouldn't promise something
if she couldn't deliver.

- Well, I have a job to do, Dad.
- You have two jobs.

You're a parent first
and a D.A. second.

Well, as a parent, I can't risk
the father of that young man

suffering the indignity
of watching his son's killer

walk free 'cause I didn't keep
my emotions in check.

Hmm.

You often imagine conversations
with your mother.

asking her mother to trust her,

what would you hope
her response to be?
