Original subtitles

Are you sure your serial killer's on this bus?

From New York to Boston on the Chinatown express.

Of two other little girls because of

as long as he could before torturing them to death.

That's him.

Let's go.

- Hey. - Excuse us. Excuse us.

- Move to the side. Excuse us. - Step aside.

- Excuse us. - Out of the way!

Damn it.

Wait a minute. I see him.

Flo-Jo. I'll funnel him towards you.

- Got it. - Hey! Nemes!

Wait! Police!

Hold it! Watch out.

Hold it!

Stop! Police!

Nemes!

Got him.

Long way from home, aren't you, nemes?

Come on! Hurry up and get him out of here.

- Got him, Reagan. - Go.

Reagan?

Erin Reagan's brother?

All right, get him out of here. Read him his rights.

Now that I'm watching you drink it, I think I mind very much.

Only clear liquids before surgery.

Everybody keeps telling me how minor.

- In this surgery. - Yeah, the procedure's a miracle.

My dad had it a couple years ago. He's good as new.

So the surgery's a miracle because it worked?

Not exactly reassuring.

And stop trying to get me to play pickleball with your dad.

I'm just saying.

I think we have tormented grandpa enough.

It is time to go.

Hey, rev, seriously, surgery is no big deal.

We'll meet you outside.

What's up, dad?

Talk to Lena.

- Where is this coming from? - She told me

she asked, and you pushed her away.

I can see the space growing between you.

And I won't have it, not as long as I'm here.

You're not going anywhere, dad.

You can tell me how minor this surgery is

until you're blue in the face.

The fact is none of us get to decide when we're called home.

This secret you've kept won't go on.

The girl deserves to know her family.

- We're her family. - Not all of it.

You've given her a beautiful life.

Now she wants to know about what's been missing.

Promise me you'll talk to Lena and tell her.

Tell me what?

Sarah and Seth are waiting.

- Everything okay? - Well...

It's time for me to go. You...

can ride with your mother.

Okay.

Okay?

What's going on?

Wait right here. I have something for you.

This is him?

This is my dad?

Yeah.

Chris Williams. It was just before graduation.

Chris was not a good guy.

He... He was arrested for robbery.

He was a criminal?

Yes.

He was exciting.

I was a preacher's kid, about to enter law school.

Everything was so controlled.

But Chris... he made me feel alive.

Did you love him?

I did.

I tried to change him.

But one night, he and a friend... they broke into a house.

There was a family inside.

Chris held them at gunpoint

in a jailhouse visiting room.

And two weeks later, I discovered I was pregnant.

Did he know?

No, I didn't tell him.

I couldn't let a man like that in our life.

In your life.

So I raised you on my own.

Love him or not, I loved you more.

So, do you know what happened to him?

You were happy.

I met Ben, we became a family.

How am I gonna find Chris Williams?

There's got to be a thousand of 'em.

You still want to find him after what I just told you?

Why wouldn't I? Does...

Does him being a criminal make him less my father?

It was never about him.

Finding him has always been about me.

Crispus.

Crispus... Is his name.

Like crisp us attucks,

wait.

Is he from Boston?

- Is he still here? - Would that change anything?

- Everything. - It... You told me

that he left when I was born.

This whole time I've been wondering

where I come from and why my father didn't love me.

Lena, our lives are so full

and beautiful and rich. I thought that would be enough.

You want to know why I became a detective?

You know it was so I could find answers, right?

You denied me something

that could have changed everything about me.

You really took something from me.

I'm gonna go before I say something I can't take back.

Your ride's here.

Abraham nemes, you'll be extradited

to New York for the kidnapping, rape and murder of Cleo Wade.

These detectives will escort you.

No. These detectives won't escort me anywhere

if you hope to find young Lauren before it's too late.

- What the hell did you just say? - What?

Three weeks ago,

Lauren Jackson went missing on Charles river road.

Danny!

You really are a loose Cannon, aren't you, Danny?

And if you want to find Lauren Jackson,

you're gonna play along.

All right, guys, come over here.

Anyone know what this machine does?

- It's for fingerprints. - Right.

We heat cyanoacrylate to make vapor

that reacts with oils in latent fingerprints.

And this is a gas...

A gas chromatography mass spectrometer.

It's used to identify drugs

and unknown substances found in forensic samples.

Excellent, Cisco.

Sergeant esch is here to take you down to the motor pool.

Phoebe.

Thanks for getting me into the teen academy.

You got yourself in with that essay you wrote.

Thanks for taking an interest in what I do.

Well, it's hard not to after what you did at bar volo.

How did you know what they were gonna do?

The eyes.

Watch the eyes. The eyes always give them away.

Go catch up to your class.

Sarah. She's a superintendent.

- How do you know her? - She's engaged to my dad.

Your dad's engaged to the boss?

I thought you were for real.

What is that supposed to mean?

Some of us are trying to do something with this.

More than just impress daddy's bae.

Well, you don't know what I'm trying to do.

I earned my way into this program just like you did.

Sure, Princess. Whatever you say.

Hi.

Hey.

Thanks, Seth, for sitting with dad.

Yeah, it's my pleasure.

Hey, good luck, rev.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

- We'll see you tonight. - Okay.

- How'd it go? - How do you think?

You did the right thing, telling Lena about her father.

I know you were afraid,

but I never want you to feel the way I felt

when you found out about your mother's death.

- Right, but she... - It's time to go to the O.R.,

we've had to adjust the schedule.

- Then say it. - It's gonna be all right.

I feel better already.

- Love you, dad. - Love you too.

Is this is the last photo you have of Lauren?

Yeah.

We took it a few days before the museum.

And... It's okay. We can't imagine how hard this is.

Do you recognize this man?

Is that him? He took my daughter?

Is Lauren... is she... Alive.

Is she alive?

We don't know.

But if she is, we will find her with your help.

I need you to think.

Do you remember this man?

Hey, Sarah. I know I missed you. Sorry.

Everything okay with grandpa?

I...

don't know, actually.

What do you mean you don't know? I thought you were with him.

Sarah, mom told me who my biological father is.

- What? - Yeah, after you and Seth left.

I think grandpa made her.

That's...

Lena, think about this.

I'm done thinking. I'm...

Yeah, Ben will always be my dad.

Yeah, but not by the first person

that was supposed to love me, Sarah.

And now I know he was never given the chance.

Let that sink in.

Yeah. Okay.

Lena, please be careful.

Always.

Everything okay?

- What do you got? - A situation.

- They're sure? - He's got her.

And we need to get her back.

You built a case against nemes in New York. You know him.

What do we do?

Anything he wants.

He's a killer with antisocial personality disorder,

and a need for physical and intellectual dominance.

Okay, I love you, sis, but you're not making any sense.

This guy is a psychopath,

and we're supposed to just listen to him?

Let me put the screws to him for a little while.

He will tell us where Lauren is.

It's not gonna work, not with nemes.

He'd rather die than let us win.

So we just gonna let him call the shots?

Well, I have a plan. You're not gonna like it.

Well, this is gonna be fun.

If you want to know where Lauren is,

you got to butter me up a little.

Maybe I could just smash your head through that glass instead.

Okay, Danny. Enough.

Sorry, Abraham.

Okay, Abraham, would you tell us where we can find.

Mr. Nemes,

what's it gonna take to get Lauren back with her family?

Now there's a lady who knows the right question to ask.

All I need's a car and a driver.

Well, maybe we should give him some caviar

and a back rub while we're at it.

Detective Reagan'll do.

I'll guide him to Lauren, and all I ask

is to see his face when we get there.

- O-Okay. - Okay.

You'll get it your way.

Get up.

And one more thing.

I think we'll bring a.D.A. Reagan along for the ride.

Come on, Erin. It'll be fun.

Can I help you?

Hey. Sorry.

Came to talk to your chief.

- Chris Williams. - Chief's not here today.

You should have called ahead.

Yeah, I should have.

Guess I was impulsive.

Came to ask a few questions about, a cold case.

Ooh.

Since you came all the way out here

to the boonies, maybe I can help. Come on back.

I'm detective Asher Reed, by the way.

You know the chief well?

Yeah, you'd think.

Been here for ten years.

Yeah.

Maybe you can help.

Abraham nemes has promised to lead Danny and Erin

to Lauren Jackson.

He says that she's still alive, but we should be prepared.

That I will be tracking via GPS with detectives flores

and capshaw in a follow car.

Don't let them out of your sight.

- Says you. - Yeah, says me.

Let's hope it works.

So, where is everybody?

Small town, small department.

So, what'd you want to ask the chief? What's the case?

Home invasion.

Robbery.

Forty years ago.

Forty-year-old home invasion?

That's a long way to reach back for a robbery.

Yeah, well... There's circumstances.

Maybe the chief has some information.

What kind of guy is he, by the way?

The kind you'd step in front of a train for.

Taught me how to do the job,

and a lot about how to be a good man.

At least, you know, to try.

Wow, that's a really intense thing to say about your boss.

He's more than just my boss.

Just give me one sec.

- He's like a-a mentor? - Yeah, he's...

Detective Reed.

Whoa, whoa, slow down, Emmett. Yeah.

Is he still there?

What do you mean, you ain't sure?

Okay, all right, all right.

I'm-I'm on my way. Okay.

Apparently you got to work.

I'm headed home.

And I'll call ahead next time.

That's a long way to drive for nothing.

Why don't you ride with me?

Got an armed robbery

at Emmett's pharmacy. Addict named Pete

stuck the place up.

Come on. You said you were impulsive.

Why stop now? I'm shorthanded.

Be good to see how you do things in the big city.

All right, I'll grab my gear.

Keep straight.

So, what makes big apple royalty like a Reagan

leave New York?

Tired of living in daddy's shadow?

None of your business.

Talk.

Talk... Or I stop giving directions.

I wanted a change of scenery.

But turning your back on the family...

that must have been traumatic.

Wasn't it?

No, it wasn't.

A.d.a. Reagan isn't great at hiding her feelings.

I was fine with Danny's choices.

Clearly.

You sure about that?

What? We missed you. I mean,

we were all surprised that you actually stayed.

Who's we?

We, the family.

I mean, it's not the same without you.

Okay, but you said the family was fine

with me leaving and now you make it sound like

they were disappointed.

Okay, well, we all miss you.

- So you were disappointed. - Left! Here, now.

The hell was that?

That should shake that clumsy tail you had on us.

The bus terminal? We're just

headed back where we came from.

When we park, I need my legs unshackled

- no. - So I can walk.

You're not getting your legs unchained.

How else can I lead you to Lauren?

It's not happening.

We have to.

Arguing? Disrupting class?

What is this?

We were at the motor pool and he said...

I don't care what he said.

You should know better.

And you.

Your counselor called me directly to vouch for you.

- I'm sorry, ma'am. - I know you want to become a cop

to make a difference in your neighborhood.

I respect that.

But Cisco, you can't let anything like this happen again.

Not you, Phoebe.

- What happened? - He kept

riding me about being a nepo baby.

He wouldn't listen to me. He wouldn't take me seriously.

You think I never heard the nepo baby thing?

You can't let it get to you.

The people who doubt you, not against them.

Show them you belong.

That's not fair.

So?

And, you know...

Come on.

Ticket booth.

Buy three seats on the Chinatown express.

Wait a minute, you said Lauren was in Boston.

Why the hell are we going to New York?

I'm a liar, Danny. Didn't Erin tell you?

Or was she afraid to hurt your feelings

like your brother Jamie?

- You better watch what you say. - Okay, enough, Danny.

He has the Internet. Relax.

Don't move.

Ma'am, we need three tickets on the Chinatown express.

Ma'am, please.

That boy should be in jail by now.

Aw, Emmett, Pete's been harmless up until now.

I'm sorry this happened, but we'll get it under control.

Who's this?

This is detective Lena... Silver.

S-Silver.

Nice to meet you.

Just get that junkie off my property

so I can get back to work.

- Was anyone hurt? - No.

He barged in, waved a gun around,

made me open the safe and took all the oxy

- I had on hand. - And you think

he might still be around?

I told you on the phone, I don't know.

Was he high when he robbed you?

No. Looked like he was in withdrawal.

Voice was, sharp, eyes-eyes were wide.

I think he was in pain.

Usually because he's desperate for a fix.

Meaning he'd find the nearest spot to get high.

You don't think he went far. Did you hear Pete's truck?

The diesel?

Come to think of it, no, I didn't hear it.

He's on foot, most likely close by.

Go inside,

All done.

- How is he? - Reverend Peters.

Thanks, doctor.

How you feeling, dad?

Like I didn't realize how much pressure

I had in my chest before.

Dad.

I'm okay. You were right.

I needed help. Just needed to rip that

band-aid off and get it done.

Just like you and Lena...

No, dad, I'm not talking about Lena now, I'm here for you.

Trust me.

Everyone will be happier now the truth is out.

Light is the best disinfectant.

L'dor vador.

What's that?

L'dor vador.

Values being passed down.

Yeah, well, we also pass down our trauma

and generational wounds.

And secrets.

Is that why you forced this, dad?

Is that why you insisted that I tell Lena about her father...

to absolve your own sin for lying to me about my own mother?

You know what? I hope you feel better, dad,

'cause I think Lena hates me now.

Dad. Dad!

He's crashing. Maybe a bleed.

- We need to get him to the O.R. now. - Why?

- What's going on? - We're gonna take good care of him.

Car's still on.

There.

Pete?

Hey, Pete.

Pete, no! No, Pete!

Stop the car!

I'm gonna stop him before he gets

on the road and kills somebody.

Whoo! That's gonna hurt tomorrow.

Could have killed someone this time.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm locking you up.

Got anything sharp on you?

- No. - Gun.

That was amazing.

Too bad chief Williams ain't here.

He'd love you.

Maybe we do need to get you checked out.

Give me a sec.

Yeah.

What am I doing here?

You good?

Yeah.

Good.

Stand right here.

Come on.

Danny.

It's cold out.

I don't like how exposed we are out here.

So keep your gun on him.

I will.

Must be all those years of your sister telling you what to do.

I'm not gonna take much more of his crap.

So just swallow your pride.

I will if you stop taking his side.

Just listen to him, Danny.

We were able to go back in through the same incision.

Found the bleed.

He'll be good as new in a couple weeks.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Me too.

I'm sorry.

No, don't.

We're gonna be all right.

Yeah.

Faith and family being our north star,

nothing can hurt us.

You taught me that.

L'dor vador.

Digital prints go into permanent police records and are run

against state and national databases.

In minutes, we know a suspect's

full criminal history, including open warrants,

previous arrests, charges and convictions.

We grab a digital photo for the file

and then we lead the criminal this way to holding.

The criminal remains in... Go.

Everyone, out of the way, let's go!

Cisco, move!

Why'd you do that?

You're welcome.

That was...

I mean, that was awesome.

Thanks.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I think I hurt my arm.

Ooh.

Somebody grab her some ice.

Your other victims were found in abandoned buses

around New York.

So, what happened to you, anyway?

Danny.

We're here.

Stay right there.

Don't move.

Where are the lights in here?

May I?

Let there be light.

This way.

Danny.

You hear that?

Hold on.

I hear it.

- Yeah. - Come on.

Getting warmer.

- Lauren? - Lauren!

She's in there. Don't move.

Hands where I can see 'em.

Open it.

Must have turned on with the lights.

I've been ahead of you the whole time.

Now get in.

You thought you were smarter than me, Erin.

With your question about the buses. Yeah.

I like buses. Where else can you be so alone

in a place so public?

Now get in there.

Put it down.

Or I kill your brother.

Please don't hurt my family.

Gun.

- Did you hear him? - I heard him.

He likes buses.

Let's go.

Lauren.

Lauren.

- Lauren! - Lauren!

- Lauren. - Lauren.

Lauren.

Lauren.

She's not here.

Lauren.

Lauren.

Help me. Help!

Hey, Danny.

Help me, please.

I'm in here.

Lauren.

I'm in here. Help me.

Hi, Lauren. Hi.

- I'm here. Help me. - Hi, I'm Erin.

Okay? You're safe now, all right?

Let me put this over you.

We're gonna get you back to your parents, okay?

Hey.

Are you injured?

No, just really scared.

Okay. We got you.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

- I'll get help. - Okay.

All right.

Yes, s-i-l-v-e-r.

Please deliver to Boston general hospital.

Recovery ward, room 4010.

That'd be great. Okay.

Thank you.

Crispus.

You were always the only person outside my family

who used my given name.

How you been, Mae?

We need to talk.

I suppose we do.

Did she find you?

You guys talked?

No, my office called and said

that a bpd detective named Lena silver came to see me.

I was in Boston on business, so...

- Nothing. - Nothing?

So she thinks what... that I abandoned her?

No.

I told her about the arrest.

That you were in jail,

and that I never told you that I was pregnant.

So that's what she thinks of me?

I guess it didn't suit your narrative

to tell her what happened next?

No, it didn't.

But if she knows that you've become a police chief,

then she's figured out you've turned your life around.

So why not tell her the rest of the story, the whole truth?

Family is family, Mae, whether you like it or not.

You don't know her like I do.

Whose fault is that?

It will change the way that she thinks about herself,

how she thinks about me and the choices I have made.

Feels like you don't get to make those choices anymore.

Just wait.

This won't break her.

If she's the fierce, capable detective

she'll embrace

having more family, having more history.

It's not Lena I'm afraid this will break.

My daughter.

And a sore back.

Hey, I didn't tell you to go all Tom Cruise on that car.

You ever need anything,

yeah, I'll have that card for you when you're done.

- Hey, how's grandpa? - He's fine.

Did you meet your dad?

No, I didn't, actually.

You know I'm looking at his office right now?

He's nothing like what mom described.

I...

I'm actually grateful I didn't meet him.

I don't think I'm ready.

Really?

Yeah, I'm happy with the family I have.

We are pretty great.

But I know how I feel now that I'm here.

- How? - Like the family I have.

I'm headed home now.

Hopefully, I'll make it for shabbat.

We're doing it at the hospital.

Grandpa had a complication.

What? You just said he was good.

He's fine.

They're just keeping him overnight to be safe.

Okay, I'll be right there.

No. No, I'll reach out to him

if I need any more help with that, that cold case.

Yeah.

Hey, I want you to meet my wife.

She dropped by while you were on the phone.

- Nice to meet you. - With the hours he works,

I wouldn't see him unless I come by the station.-

my husband or my dad.

Your dad?

Chief Williams.

Lena silver, this is my wife, Christina.

Yes, I married the boss' daughter.

I married up.

It's nice to meet you, Lena.

I got to go.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

It's nice to meet-meet you, too. Sorry.

She okay?

My god, my god, my god.

My...

Erin, can't thank you enough.

Well, thank you for trusting me.

And thank you, Danny, for going along with it.

Aw, well, you know, as much as it pains me to say it,

you were right.

- I'm sorry? - You were right

about nemes and him wanting control,

and that would lead us back to Lauren, okay?

How did you know Erin was gonna take that shot?

"Please don't hurt my family."

Our dad drilled that phrase

into us as kids, and his dad taught him,

so anytime we heard it,

we had to drop to the ground for cover.

- Wow. - Yeah, I might live a few hundred miles

away from New York, but the Reagan traditions

live on right here.

- You should've seen it. - Let's go.

- Yeah. - See you guys.

- Take it easy. - Okay.

What'd the medic say?

Well, they sent us to the hospital for some x-rays.

Got a little hairline fracture, but nothing too bad.

What you did was so brave.

If you choose to, you're gonna make a great cop.

It felt really good proving that I belong.

Especially to Cisco.

Well, get used to it.

Got to prove yourself every day in this job.

- I can handle it. - Yes, you can.

Hey, kiddo, why don't you wait outside

for us for a minute, and then

we'll, we'll head to shabbat.

We got a problem.

The hospital called Julie.

Phoebe's mom?

Is she pissed?

Yeah, I'd say so.

She's suing me for custody.

She wants to take Phoebe to Japan with her.

What?

With Phoebe getting hurt by a fleeing criminal,

- it's too much. - Seth, I am so sorry.

Well, it's not your fault.

What are we gonna do?

I'm gonna fight for my daughter.

- After their shift is done. - Lena's on her way, too.

No open flames in a hospital, so, got these.

Good, I made it.

Hey. My goodness. Are you okay?

Getting there.

Yeah?

Baruch atah adonai, eloheinu melech ha-olam,

Asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu...

So, that conversation we had in the car before with nemes,

about me leaving New York...

- you were just humoring him, right? - Yeah.

I mean, you weren't really disappointed in me, were you?

- No, of course. I mean... - Yeah. -You mean what?

No, but, you know... No, I don't know. You mean what?

No, I... Danny, I'm just saying,

everyone is gonna be thrilled

that you're coming home for dinner

for at least one Sunday.

I'm just disappointed that Sean couldn't come.
