Cami. Cami.

Yeah. Cami.

(buzzer sounds)

-(spectators exclaim) -(players whooping)

(cheering)

Tough break.

LENA: Yeah, that's... that's hard.

ANNOUNCER: And that's the game.

Eastern State takes it...

-Let's go. -Yeah.

-ANNOUNCER: ...73/71. -MATT: Soraya. Soraya.

You are normally a 60% shooter.

You are down now to about 30%

on largely wide open threes.

Do you think you've been playing to your full capability

these past few games?

You probably wouldn't have asked me the question if I was.

Let's see him maintain 40-plus from three.

Right? While worrying about a stalker.

Coach, fans have been saying that you haven't been

utilizing Soraya correctly.

Has her sporadic playtime hurt her momentum?

My coaching decisions are always aligned with my top priority:

what's best for the team.

Isn't winning what's best for the team?

We're done here.

Thank you, Coach.

-Thank you, Soraya. -(Danny clears throat)

Soraya King?

Detective Reagan. Detective Silver.

We're here to talk to you about the stalker situation.

Campus security notified us.

Guess they finally called real police

since they can't seem to get a handle on it.

Well, can you tell us what's going on?

Well, I've been trying to let it play out,

but now, it's affecting my games-

What is it?

He put that there.

During the game.

That means the stalker was just here.

Or could still be here.

You see anything?

Nothing.

Dammit.

-(door opens) -(entry bell jingles)

(door closes)

JIM: Great. You're here.

-(whistles) -You called 911?

I was just about to close up.

Group of kids were here "browsing."

They got rowdy, so I asked them to leave. That's when they

smashed and grabbed.

Spray paint cans. Oil paints.

They got away with about $500 worth of inventory.

Did you get a description?

(sighs) They were Black. Maybe one was Mexican.

-African-American, possibly Hispanic. -(sighs)

-Did you get any other details you'd like to share with us? -Four of 'em.

Probably about 16.

I got a picture as they ran out.

One of them said something about tagging a spot

near Lenox housing in Dudley Square.

SEAN: We'll need a copy of that.

Did you get anything else for us to go off of?

Oh, you are so sweet,

but you know I like my coffee black.

(laughs) That's why these are not for you.

We're about to interview a witness.

Hey, uh, I need to ask you a favor,

but it involves your mom.

Okay.

What favor?

Something happen between you and Mae?

You know, I would, I would rather not get into it now,

-if that's okay. -No, yeah. That's fine. Uh...

It involves Yancey Wims, your childhood friend.

What about him?

No, he-he's fine,

it's just, uh... You know, it-it would be better

if I explain the whole thing to you and your mom, together.

Okay. Uh...

I, uh, I got to go now,

but I will, um...

I'll set that up.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Sure you don't want to talk?

Yeah.

I'm good.

Soraya's all ready for you.

Hey. What's going on?

Danny, I really don't want to take it in there.

Well, if something's bothering you,

you don't talk about it,

it could come out in there.

So what is happening?

What's up?

On my off day, I...

went to go see my biological father.

Wow.

Figured you would've got your nails done

or slept in.

-How'd that happen? -Mm. Ah, well, my mom

finally told me the truth, after all this time,

and I went to go see about it.

And that adage

of being careful what you wish for is

accurate.

How was he?

I don't even know. I didn't get to meet him.

I drove all the way up to Eastborough,

-and he wasn't there. -Huh.

But you know who was there?

His son-in-law who is married to my half sister.

Half sister you never even knew existed?

Of course not.

And I don't think she knows about me either.

Partner, I'm so sorry.

I know it has to be a lot to process for you.

Oh, yeah, because, you know, my entire life,

my mom's been teaching me about the importance of family,

but she's been keeping me from fully knowing mine.

Wh- What kind of sense does that make?

Let's get back to work.

* *

JONAH: I didn't love the hard "B" on "Black"

when the store clerk reported the robbery.

SEAN: No, yeah, I got that,

but the guy at the art supply store

said the kids wanted to tag in Dudley Square,

so why are we in Nubian Square?

Government changed the name a few years ago

to better represent its neighborhood's

African-American population, instead of Thomas Dudley,

a former governor who owned slaves.

That's cool.

Yeah, I guess it's a lot cheaper than affordable housing.

Yeah.

Check it out.

What these kids need is someone to actually care about them.

* *

Yeah, get that, on that. Yeah. And then-

Hey. You boys want to put the spray cans down?

Got a couple questions to ask you.

SEAN: Been to any art supply stores recently?

-(yells) -Run! Run!

-Go, go, go, go. -I got it.

-(teens shouting) -SEAN: Hey, stop!

BPD! Stop!

Ah!

Come on, come on.

Up. Up, up, up, up. Against the wall.

Hands up.

-Why you running? -Why you chasing me?

What's your name?

-Kai. -Kai.

-KAI: Washington. -Those other ones got away.

I don't know what the hell they put in school lunches,

but these kids are fast.

JONAH: Take your backpack off.

Can you open this for us, please?

Yeah?

Where'd you get all this stuff?

-My friend gave it to me. -JONAH: Oh, your friend?

Same one who took off? Left you hanging?

What's his name?

-Where does he live? -What, police can't

figure that out for themselves?

You didn't steal this stuff from Rory's Art Supplies

-over on Tremont? -No, I'm not a thief.

Well, the clerk seems to think differently.

We're gonna have to take you in.

I- No, I swear, I didn't steal anything.

-Turn around. -Hey!

What was he doing, Officer? Blacking while Black?

Hands behind your back.

Y'all know you don't need to do that boy like that.

YOUNG WOMAN: What'd he do? Look at you funny?

-MAN: Yeah, real tough. -Kai Washington...

-MAN: Gang up on a Black kid. -...you're under arrest

-for suspicion of theft. -Oh, now he's being all civil.

You have the right to remain silent.

Black cops be the worst ones.

-MAN: Hey, let him go! -Anything you say...

-WOMAN: Oh, come on. What'd he do? -...can and will be used

-against you in a court of law. -WOMAN: Let him go.

SORAYA: It started about six months ago.

Creepy letters and always a long-stemmed rose.

Had a look at the notes, and he does always quote a passage

from The Romance of the Rose.

It's a 13th-century French poem.

Every letter says that we're destined to be together.

That it's almost time for us to finally meet in person.

Do you or anyone know who it could be?

No.

But whoever he is, he's really starting to scare me.

(door opens)

Dad. Oh.

You okay, baby girl?

Uh, Damon, Detective Reagan.

My partner, Detective Silver.

We're honored to meet you.

-Sorry it's under these circumstances. -Yeah.

We're gonna do everything we can to find your daughter's stalker.

I thought that the campus security was supposed to get

the stalker. I guess things are getting worse?

Dad, I don't want you to worry.

-DAMON: Oh, I am worried. -(officer clears throat)

-DAMON: I'm better now, though. -One second.

SORAYA: You always worry.

(indistinct whispering)

Got it.

(clears throat)

We have a problem.

White female, mid-50s. COD, strangulation.

-ID says her name is... -Coach Donna Bradley.

And Danny, look.

Looks like our stalker escalated to murder.

If that's the case, he'll kill whoever gets

between him and Soraya.

Not if we find him first.

* *

BRIAN: Thank you for meeting with me.

I know you're busy, so I'll get right to it.

Six months ago, DCU arrested several members

of the Orchard Park Crew-

the, uh, gang responsible for that

string of robberies on the west side?

-I remember. -Yeah. A young couple

who witnessed their neighbor's robbery in Newton

were set to testify against them, but

one week before the trial, they were murdered.

We believe that he ordered the hit.

His name is Eric Harper.

He's a high-ranking O.P.C. lieutenant.

Currently, he's doing a six month bid on weapons charges,

but unless we get him on these robberies

and the double murder, he's out at the end of the month.

What makes you think I can help?

We want to use Harper's cellmate,

a, uh, lower-level gang affiliate,

to try to get a confession.

Yancey Wims.

BRIAN: Now, I know that Lena and Yancey's sister,

Remi, go way back.

You both intervened when we arrested him a few months ago.

Well, we tried.

But Yancey made it very clear he didn't want our help.

And didn't deserve it, actually.

I don't know, Brian.

Yancey made his loyalty to the gang crystal clear.

I don't see him flipping on them.

Look, Madam District Attorney,

we were hoping that your office

would be willing to give Yancey a plea deal

in exchange for his cooperation.

I'm not sure I want to go down that road, either.

We have a six-year-old girl

who's in protective custody

who saw both of her parents brutally murdered.

I think she might feel differently.

She was hiding in the closet,

and one of the killers, Derek Mills,

saw her on his way out.

And once Harper found out, he killed Derek, too.

Given Harper's high intolerance for loose ends...

If he gets free, then whatever happens

to that little girl is on us.

All right, let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch once my office has made contact.

Lena, can you hang for a sec?

Talk later?

Yeah.

Uh, I actually got to get back to the case, so,

-um... -I'm just checking in.

Still trying to wrap my head around all of it.

(door closes)

LENA: Coach Bradley was under some scrutiny.

Press and Internet trolls were saying

she was "benching the hot hand," trying to mess

-with Soraya's streak? -Yeah.

I'm thinking this stalker may have gone after Coach Bradley

as some form of devotion or revenge.

DAMON: Just nail this guy already,

so Soraya and I can get on with our lives.

That's what we're trying to do.

Excuse me.

Looking good out here.

(scoffs)

Too bad I can't bring this energy to games.

Well, you got a lot going on right now.

You're gonna get your rhythm back.

Ever since this stalker thing started,

I started playing like trash.

I feel like I let Coach and the team down.

Ah, Soraya, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I know you and the coach were close.

Least, that's what the sports pages said.

Yeah, Donna was more than my coach.

She was family.

I was 14 when my mom died.

And Donna's been like a mom to me ever since.

And now she's dead, too.

'Cause of me.

Oh, no, Soraya, no.

This is the work of an extremely disturbed individual.

It's not because of you.

Me and my partner are gonna talk to your teammates.

Maybe somebody saw something.

But you hang in there, all right?

We're on it.

Thanks.

BRIAN: It's a good deal, Yancey.

We just want you to get Harper

to talk about the robberies

and the murders at the Newton house.

And if you can do that,

I can petition to get you an early release.

Am I really hearing this?

I came to you

when my brother was in trouble.

Instead of helping, you and Lena

let him sit in prison for the last five months,

-and now you want his help? -MAE: Remi,

-I know that this is a difficult... -REMI: You want Yancey

to put his life on the line and you'll "petition"

to get him released?

My family took care of Lena when you couldn't be there.

Lena was torn apart by the decision that Yancey

forced her to make.

And how that affected your friendship.

You are here as a courtesy, Remi.

This is Yancey's choice.

Just like the choice he made

that landed him in prison in the first place.

He's not gonna do a damn thing for you.

Did you know Soraya had a stalker?

We all knew. And obviously, it's affecting her game.

You don't seem too sympathetic.

She's not the only one who can ball.

But she is the only one seeing

million-dollar name, image and likeness deals.

-You wonder why that is. -Oh, you don't like that, huh?

Soraya getting all the NIL money?

It's always about her.

Now she's jeopardizing our chances at finals

behind some loser fan of hers.

Has that loser fan made contact

with anyone else on the team, or maybe a coach?

Coach Bradley never said so,

but it did seem like something was bothering her.

Noise about the team in the press getting to her, maybe?

No.

Trash talk never bothered Donna.

But she was definitely preoccupied about something.

Did you or anyone see anything strange recently?

There was this guy that would come by practice

who seemed a little off.

"Seemed off" how?

He'd just sit there, watching us run drills.

I don't know, there was something sketch about him.

He'd wear this leather pouch on the side of his pants

with, like, big knives and tools in it.

He had knives on campus?

Like, maybe he worked here?

I don't know, he was always dirty.

Dirty? How? What do you mean?

I thought he was working outside or something.

He'd sit way up in the bleachers with a baseball cap

and this ugly jacket on.

I don't know.

Seems like Coach Bradley knows something.

And our stalker works on campus

as a maintenance man or a gardener.

I'll get the maintenance department roster

-from the university. -All right.

I told you, I linked up with my boys at the tagging spot.

After they left the art supply store.

-Yep? -Which is why the clerk said

he didn't see you with the other kids

when we showed him your picture.

Like I said, I didn't steal nothing.

Did you draw these?

Is that illegal, too?

WOMAN: Kai.

-Hi, honey. Are you all right? -Hi. Yeah, yeah, Ma.

Oh, my God. Nobody bothered to call me sooner, let me know

-my son was arrested. -SEAN: Ma'am,

-he was cleared be... -My son is a straight-A student.

You don't have anything better to do than snatch

innocent Black kids off the street?

-You're okay? -KAI: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

She's just an upset parent, okay?

Don't let that get to you.

Yo. I got a question for you.

Where to find a good bagel in Boston? I cannot help you.

No, see, this is about the city that you actually do love.

If you were gonna plan a, uh,

secret getaway for a special lady,

where in New York would you take her?

Can think of a lot of places. What do you got in mind?

I don't know, Lena's just been kind of down lately.

This thing that happened between her and Mae.

So, trying to get her mind off of it.

DANNY: Ah, you heard. Must be tough,

even for someone as strong as her, to find out

about her dad and that she had a half sister

she didn't know about.

It's a lot.

Yeah, it's a hell of a way to find out.

Yeah. Let me give it some thought,

and I will, uh, text you some ideas.

Mass Northern University general counsel sent us an email

with a link to all of their maintenance employees.

Yep, I see it. Here we go.

Okay, according to this, 18 men

work in the maintenance department.

But only one of them used his access card

to get into that sports center dozens of times

in the last three months.

And when we were at the game. Here he is.

Ethan Anderson, assistant director of facilities.

You like women's basketball, Ethan?

Hanging out at their practices, watching them all the time?

What is this about?

Coach Bradley was murdered. Soraya King's coach.

That's tragic.

Uh-huh. You know what else is tragic, Ethan?

Guys who don't take no for an answer. Come on, get up.

You think I killed the coach? It wasn't me.

-That's not possible. -Oh, yeah? How is that?

She means too much to Soraya.

And I love Soraya.

DANNY: We know you swiped your key card

dozens of times at the sports center in the last three months.

My job requires me to swipe my key card

-all over... -We have eyewitnesses

who saw you at multiple practices.

Saw me? You're sure about that?

The stalker, you,

has a penchant for leaving Soraya roses.

You want to talk about the seed pack that we found

-in your desk? -I'm a groundskeeper.

-(sighs) -I have a degree in botany.

I have a personal grow house with many varieties of flowers.

Including roses. Come on.

We know you were stalking her.

Okay, but I would never hurt anybody

-that she cared that much about. -(door opens)

School confirmed his alibi.

-(exhales) -You were picking up overtime,

doing winter storm prep at the school.

So, we've got time-stamped equipment,

badge, radio logs, all confirming

you were nowhere near Coach Bradley's house

-at the time of the murder. -ETHAN: Okay.

So, that proves it.

No, it proves you didn't kill Coach Bradley.

You still had time to plant the rose

and the note in Soraya's bag

-and make the postgame interview. -LENA: Exactly.

So, with the evidence that we do have against you,

we're holding you on the stalking charge.

I'd like to speak with an attorney.

DANNY: We'll get right on it.

In the meantime, you can speak

to some fellow detainees in holding.

Get him out of here.

I'm surprised you reached out.

Your sister made it pretty clear how she felt.

Does Remi know you're here?

YANCEY: No, but...

...I want to help.

These last few months I've been in prison,

I've seen and heard things.

Like, really bad stuff.

O.P.C., they'll switch up on you mad quick,

for the smallest reason.

I figure, why should it be any different for me?

It isn't.

MAE: Remi wasn't wrong

about the risks involved, Yancey.

Your life could be on the line.

Your safety is the most important thing.

Aunt Mae, I'll never be safe on the inside.

And I'm willing to put the life I have now at risk

for a chance at a better one.

I want out.

Of the gang. Of prison. Can you just...

...help me get out?

So, forensics compared the roses that were left for Soraya

with the rose that was left next to Coach Bradley's body.

I had a suspicion they weren't the same variety.

-Really helps to have a partner who's a botanist. -Mm, gotta have hobbies.

-Mm-hmm. -And they confirmed it.

So, the roses left for her, they match

the Chartreuse de Parme seed packets

that were in Ethan's office. This one does not.

So, Ethan used this type of flower

-to give to Soraya. -Mm-hmm.

Maybe somebody left this five-dollar bodega replica

next to Coach Bradley's body to make it look

like Ethan was the killer.

But then, who would know that that was Ethan's MO,

leaving long-stemmed roses?

Maybe a teammate, maybe campus police.

And then, who would have motive to kill Coach Bradley?

-How does this all connect? -We should take a closer look

-at her computer files. -BRIAN: Hey.

Hey. How did it go with Yancey?

He's gonna play ball.

-That's great. -Just, uh, wanted to say thank you

for setting up the meeting with Mae.

I'm-a get some coffee.

I'll be right back, Danny.

'Kay.

What's wrong?

I asked you what's going on between you and Mae

and you blew me off.

But then you can tell Danny about finding

your biological family?

I see, so you didn't come here to thank me,

you came here to grill me about a situation

I'm already struggling with?

Most couples, they build trust over time.

But you and me, it feels like we're moving backwards.

I want this to work, but you keep shutting me out.

Well, you know what doesn't work

is you rolling up on me at my job

talking about something like this.

I have a case to solve, Brian.

Lee. I...

LENA: Hey.

Did you tell Brian that I found my biological family?

He brought up the situation with you and Mae.

I thought you told him.

I... I swear, I thought he already knew.

Well, he does now. (laughs softly)

(stammers) I'm sorry.

I just, I haven't even had a chance to process it yet.

-I shouldn't have even told you. -Look, I get it.

I'm sure this is...

very difficult for you to have to carry around with you.

It's even worse with us talking about it.

But for whatever it's worth, I am sincerely sorry.

(chuckles)

-You're looking at game footage? -Yeah,

so this is from the forensics image

of Coach Bradley's computer.

High school and college coaches

are using this app now

to analyze plays and strategies.

Not for nothing, but Soraya doesn't seem like

the only player who's not focused this season.

Yeah, and all these game clips...

...are on her.

The one person who hates Soraya the most.

Why would Coach Bradley be fixated on Soraya's rival?

Why would she be going over her stats obsessively like this?

I don't know, but we should take a closer look at those stats.

Yeah, and we should have another chat with Cami.

DANNY: Uh-huh.

Hey.

-Hey. -Good news.

Kai's officially off the hook.

Turns out, his friend's name is Jaden Evans.

Officer Michaels and Johnson picked him up

tagging another wall.

He admitted stealing the supplies

-and giving them to Kai. -Great.

So, we just put an innocent kid through booking.

He'll remember that for the rest of his life.

Jonah, there's no way we could've known

he was telling the truth.

We were just doing our job.

You're not always gonna get it right,

but that doesn't make you a bad cop.

When I was 16 and I was learning how to drive,

my dad was busy with a case,

so my grandpa, he took me for drives.

One day, we got pulled over.

And this cop, man.

The level of disrespect that he showed my grandpa

for doing nothing, it was infuriating

and it was scary as hell and I will never forget it.

I'm sorry, man.

So, when I joined the force,

I swore that for every cop like that,

there'd be a cop like me.

And now, when Kai thinks of his most infuriating

and scary day of his entire life, he's gonna think of me.

(Sean sighs)

'Cause I didn't get it right.

(locker closes)

Cami.

You've had a bad season, huh?

It's probably because you've been shaving points, yeah?

-I don't know what you're... -Your season average

is 18 points a game.

The four games that Coach Bradley flagged,

you scored 12, 11, ten and nine.

The line was set at 17 and a half.

You came just under that number.

And coincidentally, someone close to you

has been cashing out betting slips

timed perfectly to every point drop.

Same bettor, same pattern, same payout trail.

So, Cami...

...tell us what happened.

DANNY: Coach found out about

the point-shaving scheme,

threatened to report it,

you confronted her and killed her?

LENA: And you left a rose by her body so we would think

it was Soraya's stalker who did it?

(laughs): What? Hell no.

I had nothing to do with Coach's murder.

But the coach knew about the point-shaving scheme. Yeah?

So, who was running the scheme?

Cami, we know you were involved.

So, you can tell us what we need to hear now

and make it easier on yourself,

or we can hear it from cybercrimes later

and we can charge you with accessory to murder.

It's your choice.

Okay, it wasn't even my idea. He came to me.

Who is "he"?

Damon King.

Soraya's dad.

Cybercrimes confirms the IP address

associated with the online betting

is registered to Damon King.

Never meet your heroes.

LENA: And I looked at the airline records.

His flight from D.C. landed at Logan

6:30 p.m., night Coach Bradley was killed.

DANNY: Which gave him plenty of time to go kill Coach Bradley

-before he came to meet with us. -Yeah, but...

what, did he just have the rose with him?

Like, I give him "shady," for sure, but...

how are we gonna get him on murder one?

I mean, if Coach Bradley was about to expose

his whole point-shaving scheme,

that's motive.

-True. -The ME said the body was found

16 hours after she was killed.

That gave him plenty of time to go back

and place a rose to set up Ethan.

And look at that. There are two flower shops

within a four-block radius of Coach Bradley's house.

So, I'm betting Damon was at one of them

around the time of the murder.

Which means we could place him at the crime scene.

-Shall we? -Mm-hmm.

-Madam District Attorney. -MAE: Warden Davis.

-Sergeant Detective. -Yes, sir.

I understand there are personal stakes involved.

-You sure you want to be here for this? -Yes.

All right.

Take a look.

BRIAN: So, Harper likes to conduct business in the library.

Says the COs on that detail tend to look the other way.

Yeah, well, they'll be looking at pink slips

once this business is concluded.

Yeah, once he admits to the hit,

we can swoop in, we can take him down.

You're sure you can get to Yancey if something goes wrong?

We'll get to him in enough time if we need to.

(door closes)

(Harper sighing)

So, what's good, boy?

You said you have some information for me.

YANCEY: Snitch I told you, bro?

Been hollering about killing folks at that house in Newton?

Yeah.

He's working with the police.

What is he doing?

-He's got this. -Saw what happened to Derek,

said it wasn't right.

Derek messed up.

That was your boy, though, right?

It took me a year

to get that operation up and running.

Derek killed it in a day.

And if Derek had taken care of the neighbors

before they was a problem,

he'd still be breathing.

There it is. We got him.

YANCEY: Yeah.

They probably shouldn't have left

that little girl alive, either.

(Harper sighs)

Five-O knew about the girl.

How you know?

Get in there.

We have a 10-33 in the east wing library.

-Let's go. Move, move, move. -DAVIS: ...in the library now!

Detective Rodgers, get your people in there now!

HARPER: You a strong soldier.

Too bad you fighting for the wrong team.

-(grunting) -(shouting indistinctly)

We should never have done this.

DANNY: I got to say, as power forwards go,

Damon King is most definitely top three, all-time.

The fact that he played for Boston

-makes it really hard to say that. -(scoffs)

I was kind of hoping that second florist didn't ID him.

Yeah, but a famous pro baller like Damon King?

-Hard to forget. -Yeah.

Not too smart on his part.

What part of his plan was smart?

Like, how could he do this to his daughter?

-Yeah. -(phone buzzing)

Detective Silver.

Okay.

Okay. Well keep us posted.

Assistant Coach Wood just came by headquarters.

Soraya didn't show up for practice today.

They found her car running in the campus parking lot

with the door wide open,

-so she's missing. -Why the hell didn't they tell us

that Ethan Anderson was released?

He wasn't. He's still in lockup.

Then who's got Soraya?

That's the question, and here he is.

DANNY: Hey! Damon.

Damon. A word?

Yo, uh, I got to pick up something.

-I can't do this right now. -No, we can do it here

-or we can do it at the station. -LENA: We know about

the point-shaving scheme, Damon.

Look, I can't do this right now, all right?

They got my daughter.

Wait a minute, you already knew?

Damon, who took Soraya?

DANNY: So, who took your daughter, Damon?

-Chinese mafia. Yeah. -Triads?

I was going to the bank to get the money

-when you rolled up on me. -So, exactly how much

-How much are you into them for? -(sighs)

$750,000.

I made some bad investments,

and I needed to get the money back.

And in order to pay off your debt,

they had you run the point-shaving scheme.

LENA: So, who has Soraya?

Lieutenant, goes by Bo.

He initiated the scam.

See, Soraya would never move like that.

But Cami? She's a different breed.

But then Cami started getting sloppy

with managing the margins.

Flossing all this designer stuff.

And Coach Bradley put the pieces together

-about you running this scheme. -Donna was pissed.

She was gonna ruin everything.

My name, my legacy.

My relationship with my daughter.

I was so mad, I just blanked out.

And when I opened my eyes,

-Donna was on the floor. -DANNY: Unfortunately,

Damon, we're gonna have to arrest you

for the murder of Coach Donna Bradley.

Oh, come on, man, see, I was just

coming into the house to the get my PIN codes.

I get the PIN codes, I get the money.

I-I'm already ten minutes late.

-DANNY: Okay. -What about my daughter?

(Danny sighs)

Where's the exchange?

* *

Daddy's late, Soraya.

Call him.

And put it on speaker.

(Soraya sighs)

DAMON (over phone): Hey, this is Damon. Can't take your call right now.

He's paying one way or the other tonight.

Put her in the car.

What? No. No!

Don't touch me. No! I don't want to go.

Please. Please?

-Please! -Hands against the wall!

-BPD! Put the gun down! -Now!

-LENA: Put the gun down. -This guy's watching his phone

instead of watching your back.

-You need better security. -Guess I do.

Damon's not gonna make it,

so do what she said and drop the gun now.

Do you want to go to prison for illegal gambling or murder?

It's your choice. Don't even think about it.

You reach, I shoot.

We're not gonna ask you again.

BO: Either way,

I don't get my money.

DANNY: Stay there.

LENA: Nobody move.

Soraya, come get behind me.

(crying softly)

-You all right? -Yeah.

-Got him? -Got him. You?

DANNY: All good.

SORAYA: I don't even know who that is.

My father could've never done the things

that man in there has done.

-(sighs) -He has done

some really bad things.

He does love you, though.

With everything he has.

Both things can be true.

It'll probably take some time...

...but Soraya...

...don't you ever blame yourself

for the choices that he made.

Yeah.

(exhales) Thank you.

I'll be checking in on you.

(Lena exhales)

I can process him.

Why don't you head home to Shabbat?

You know...

...if my mom had just been honest about my dad

the first time that I asked her, any one of the times,

...then this wouldn't be hard.

I don't know what to say to her, Danny.

That's new for me.

Just go see her.

The words will come.

(door opens)

Your mother has news.

Yancey came through for Brian in a big way.

My office is preparing the paperwork for his early release.

-Wow. -That's wonderful.

Things got a little complicated,

and Yancey's in the hospital,

but he's going to make a full recovery.

Remi wants you to know how grateful she is.

-Really? -It turns out,

being on the inside

made Yancey want out of the gang.

So, if Brian hadn't come to us...

Then Yancey would still be in jail.

Or worse.

It's my turn to clear, right?

-Thanks, Jonah. -Yeah. You... good?

You should reach out to Remi.

Yeah, I should.

I need to go check on Brian as well.

Uh, so, if you'll excuse me...

You headed out already?

You've barely eaten anything.

You're still upset.

Yes, I am.

But also, you were right.

Never should've tried to find my birth father.

Good night.

(footsteps receding)

LENA: I never should've told Danny first.

I didn't even mean to.

You had every right to feel the way that you felt.

Never should've came at you like that.

I'm sorry.

(sighs)

Listen, I know how hard this is for you, okay?

And, uh, you know, whenever you're ready to talk...

Well, uh, my mom lied to me,

and never told my dad that I existed

and I have a half sister I never knew existed.

Oh, you're, uh, ready now.

(Lena chuckles)

Okay, uh...

Just one, one second.

I drove all the way up to Eastborough to meet him,

and he wasn't there.

And I did this thing, I...

(laughs softly)

...caught a bad guy, and I...

I just...

I suddenly knew, um-

thank you-

that I didn't need my dad's approval.

You know? Like, I am enough.

And I was leaving, no harm, no foul, right?

And then I see her...

..and it just all came crashing back.

You know, 'cause he loved her.

Right? He raised her.

Her name is Christina.

He even gave her his name.

Hey.

Come here.

(exhales)

(sniffles)

We should stay at 1 Hotel

in Brooklyn, yeah?

We should eat at Grimaldi's, because it's nearby,

-and Danny will not shut up about it. -I'm gonna kill Reagan.

(both laugh)

If we've learned anything from this ordeal,

-it's that Danny can't keep a secret. -This is very true.

(laughs)

Cheers.

Cheers.

(sniffles)

EDWIN: Is your strategy

to beat me by outliving me?

Sorry, Grandpa.

Ah.

(sighs)

What's on your mind, son?

Do you remember when you took me for that driving lesson?

That was a difficult day.

When he heard about it, Ben asked me to help him

-have that talk with you. -Yeah, it was kind of awkward,

having my Jewish father talking to me about

how to interact with cops

-as a young Black man. -(soft chuckle)

He thought that it was important that you handled it.

The other day, Sean and I arrested this kid.

He was a young Black kid.

We thought that he was involved with some stuff.

We were wrong.

I misjudged him.

I just don't want to be the reason that a parent

has to have "the talk" with their kid.

Jonah, you could never

be like that cop who pulled us over that day,

because you are not that person.

Literally couldn't be if you tried.

The feeling you have, wanting to get it right,

that's what makes you a great cop.

And a great person.

This kid, right now, he's only seen the badge you carry.

Show him the person you are.

-I hear you, Grandpa. -Yeah.

(Jonah laughs softly)

EDWIN: You may be a great cop,

but you ain't much of a checker player.

(Jonah laughs)

Wow. Okay.

Come on, man. The movie starts in 20 minutes.

No, the movie doesn't start in 20 minutes.

The previews start in 20 minutes.

The movie starts in 40.

SEAN: And what are we doing here?

Yo, Kai.

Figured I'd get you some new art supplies.

You know, replace the ones that BPD confiscated.

Thanks.

Why are you doing this?

Kai, you're talented.

You probably should find some new friends,

but you're talented.

Look, I know not everyone in this neighborhood

thinks highly of cops, especially Black ones.

Hopefully, it won't always be like that.

I know I can't change everything, but...

figured I could do this.

Yo, Officer Silver.

I don't know about most cops, but, uh...

...you all right.

* *

Sure. But when I say you're a good cop,

it doesn't mean jack, right?

-Just get in the car, bud. -Oh, now you're in a rush?

-DANNY: So? -So, what?

So, where's Rodgers taking you in New York?

Oh, see, that's classified information,

because, uh, I don't want

the whole department knowing my business.

You better not tell Sarah about it, then.

(laughs)

We can actually chat in here.

ASHER: Your superintendent is cool with you

-using her office? -Oh, yeah.

She's my sister, so it's fine.

(both chuckle)

So, what you doing here, Asher?

Uh, you popped in on me at my place of business,

figured it would be okay if I returned the favor.

Especially since we're family.

I wasn't trying to cause any drama.

I just wanted to meet my father.

I'm not gonna try to insert myself into your life,

or-or anything like that.

I don't know what you're going through,

but now that I know you exist,

I can't keep it from the person who means the most to me.

You're gonna tell your wife that she has a sister?

How could I not?

Seems like her father already kept enough secrets from her.

If I know Christina, she'll have questions.

So, I wanted to give you a heads-up in person.

Because as soon as I see the right moment,

I have to tell my wife she has a sister

she's never heard about.

I'm sorry. I...

Um...

For what it's worth?

It was good to meet you. (soft chuckle)
