Original subtitles

DISPATCH All units, stabbing suspect.

White male, 20s, jeans, red hoodie.

Escaped patrol custody.

Last seen on foot near Centre and Seaverns.

See, we should be investigating that escaped convict

instead of whatever this is.

Disturbance calls can be a crapshoot.

This could be wild.

You're a murderer! That was a living creature.

That was Jaws, now it's a dead fish.

Hey, Boston PD.

Everybody take a step back.

Back up. Back up.

- Finally. Officers, arrest them. - For what, catching a fish?

For targeting a protected species.

- We were targeting swordfish. - Come on. They've been hunting great whites

ever since the incident at Carson Beach last month.

- Hey. Hey, man. Please. - Come on. Stop filming, please.

- Guys. Please step back. - Sir, did you have any idea

you hooked a great white?

We knew it was huge. We knew it was awesome.

We didn't know it was illegal.

It's your job to know.

Why are you so bent out of shape?

It's a shark, not a goldendoodle.

I swim with great white sharks for a living. We are more

- dangerous to them than they are to us. - Oh,

you're that crazy shark activist

on TikTok. Hey, tell you what,

you love sharks so much, you can come visit this one on his wall.

- Sir, that's not necessary. - Okay.

I'm so sorry. So sorry.

- Hey! Hey! - Knife! Knife!

Gonna be hard to taxidermy it now, you sadistic pig.

I told you disturbance calls can be wild.

Is that an arm?

Your promotion changes

how other people experience you.

I know.

Nobody wants to be told their personality's a liability.

Baldisari gets told that every day.

Okay. You're cops.

Jokes come with the territory.

But what if that joke came from a supervisor?

You might be supervising friends, partners,

people you confide in, people who confide in you.

But someone you supervise might hesitate to be vulnerable

now that you're evaluating their job performance.

Um, are you saying we shouldn't be friends

with our partners anymore?

I'm saying your rank is in the relationship now.

And I've seen friendships blow up

when people pretend that's not true.

Oh, w-what do you suggest we do about that?

Remember that everything you say and do

will be perceived differently than it used to

and go from there.

Huh.

That's really good.

Thanks.

It's just cathartic. I'm not obsessing.

- I just had a couple minutes. - Oh, I'm just...

Actually, you know what?

- It's none of my business. - Huh.

Well, we just got a call

for, um, get this-- a human arm

in a shark at the fish pier.

- Well, let's go. - Danny, I hate sharks.

Pretty sure everyone hates sharks.

Yeah, yeah, they do, but I really hate them.

You know? Like, Jaws ruined me for open water,

so want to do me a solid and, uh,

use that shiny new authority to

give this case to somebody else?

I'd love to, but actually, I-I can't do that.

You're a sergeant now. You literally can do that.

We caught the case. Let's go catch a shark.

- Everything okay? - Chief Lanigan just left.

There's been a rash of B and Es

in B4, and he wants to know

why I personally haven't fixed it yet.

- That doesn't sound like the chief. - It's like he's looking

for an excuse to break me back down to lieutenant.

- What's up? - So, I just got a call

from one of my A.D.A.s in the parole unit.

Dane Cooper is up for parole

on Jessica Davis' rape case.

- Don't tell me it was granted. - It was offered,

then withdrawn.

Cooper refuses to take responsibility.

He says he's innocent.

- He pled guilty before trial. - Well, exactly.

They offered him a chance to go home

if he'd just re-admit his guilt. He said no.

That doesn't make any sense.

That's why my office has to interview him.

I'll let you know how it goes.

I want to be there.

It was my case.

If he says he didn't do it, I need to look him in the eye.

Ugh. What are we talking about?

Hey, Lena, don't worry, it doesn't bite.

- He's unarmed anyway. - Wow, you really went out on a limb with that one.

- You two working this case? - Detectives respond to all calls

involving body parts.

However, there had been

no visits in the ER for amputated limbs.

There's been no missing person...

So it might not be a shark attack.

- Exactly. - Did you hear that?

I told you that we shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Oh, please. This isn't a shark attack?

City Councilman Doherty,

should the public avoid Boston beaches?

Of course it's a shark attack.

The second one in a month.

And proof we need to reject the pro-shark bill

standing in the city council.

It's time we declared war on the great white shark.

Don't do that. Don't give the green light

for people to exterminate an entire species.

All right, nobody's declaring war on anyone.

- Detectives, what does Boston PD think? - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Was this a shark attack?

Should the public avoid Boston beaches?

What the public should do is let us do our job.

And that includes the media, too, okay?

The Boston police will get to the bottom of this.

Now, please, this is a crime scene, everyone.

- Let's step back. - Thank you.

Should the public be concerned?

You got it wrong.

I did not rape Jessica Davis.

Mr. Cooper, there was plenty of evidence against you.

The victim ID'd you.

She made a mistake.

You pled guilty to rape.

Why would an innocent man do that?

Because my lawyer told me the case was really bad.

He said Ms. Davis was a sympathetic college student,

and she was very convincing.

If you didn't do it...

I had a two-year-old daughter.

If I pled guilty, I'd be eligible

for parole in ten years.

I'd be able to see my daughter again when she was 12 years old,

instead of 30.

Mr. Cooper, all of your appeals are exhausted.

I can't reopen this case on your say-so.

If you don't admit guilt now,

you might never go home.

I'm not gonna say I committed a crime I didn't.

I did that already ten years ago,

and I haven't been able to live with myself.

I'm not doing it again.

We're done here.

I believe him.

No, the case against him was rock-solid.

The man who raped Jessica Davis

cut the power to her condo by dismantling the meter.

Dane Cooper was an electrician.

Jessica saw his truck parked in the neighborhood the day before.

I know all of that,

and I know that he had three prior B and Es,

but there was not really that much more evidence.

There is the ID.

Jessica Davis picked him out of a photo array

and a lineup.

- Witnesses make mistakes. - You weren't there.

She started shaking the second she saw him

behind the one-way glass.

She was 100% sure.

Would a guilty man not take a chance at freedom?

My office needs to reinvestigate.

This DNA from the rapist--

the sample was too small to be tested.

- There's new technology. - I'm gonna

send it out to be tested.

I built my career on this case.

What if I sent an innocent man to jail?

OFFICER 14-Edward-101.

We've cleared the 1200 block of Hill Street.

No sign of the fugitive stabbing suspect. We're moving south.

What'd sarge say about helping with the search?

Ah, they're sending units from other districts.

- Want us to stay on call. - Great. So we can deal with

- our ladies of perpetual sorrow. - Yeah.

What do you think the complaint is this time, huh?

Garden gnome crossed the property line?

Noise complaint on a wind chime?

Mrs. Rowen, Mrs. Walsh, how we doing today?

Officer Silver.

Officer Reagan. She stole my vegetables.

Two rows of carrots,

- three tomato plants - Those tomatoes

- stripped bare. - were hanging over on

my side of the fence, Margaret.

So, as far as anyone's concerned,

- those are God's tomatoes. - There.

- She admitted it. - Oh, please.

Talk about pot calling kettle.

You know, she stole my chowder recipe

for the parish Chowderfest in 2015.

I adapted that recipe.

- An adaptation is not theft. - Okay, ladies.

Ladies, right now, there is an escaped prisoner

somewhere in Boston.

- Oh, what did he do? - He stabbed a packie owner.

Oh, well, my ex-husband stabbed my brother

- at Thanksgiving. - Oh, my God.

- I mean, life goes on. - Okay.

We're gonna write a report for the record, but you two,

you need to solve whatever this is between you, all right?

And going forward, 911 is for emergencies only,

okay? It's not for chowder, not for garden disputes.

Emergencies. Okay?

Sox are gonna lose to the Yankees today, Connie.

You keep manifesting evil, Margaret,

and see what happens to your zucchinis.

Oh!

Wow.

I signed up to be a cop, not a social worker.

Sometimes they're the same thing.

So what do you think, doc?

Should we be looking for somebody walking around

with a missing arm or should we assume

that the rest of the body's floating around in the Atlantic?

No one survives this kind of amputation

without going to the hospital.

Okay, thank you.

So, Sullivan ran the degraded partial print from the hand.

We got matches to 56 possible people.

One of them was a shark biologist

from the New England White Shark Conservancy,

Steve Reynolds.

So a shark biologist got his arm bitten off by a shark?

- Exactly why I hate sharks. - Hm.

Mystery solved.

- Thank you so much, Dr. Burnside. - Except...

the arm was severed before the shark ate it.

How do you know this?

Wound edges aren't from shark teeth.

And there are curve marks

on the bone, indicating a cutting tool was used.

Not sure exactly what kind of tool

because of the stomach acid.

And I'm assuming you can't tell the cause of death

from just the arm.

Insightful assumption.

But unless Steve Reynolds cut his arm off himself,

I would say you have a homicide.

Huh.

Can you tell us anything about this device?

Acoustic tracking tag.

Pings to receivers anchored to the ocean floor.

Belongs to

the New England White Shark Conservancy.

The same place Steve Reynolds worked.

- Yeah. - All right, thank you,

Dr. Burnside.

All right, now,

how in the world did a shark scientist

get his arm cut off somehow and then get eaten

by one of his own tagged sharks?

Don't know. But I got a hunch

it's gonna involve more sharks.

When's the last time either of you saw Steve?

Uh, he was here last night.

He was working on my PhD recommendation.

And he never came home?

No. My mom and I waited up for him,

but Steve working at the office all night wasn't unusual.

He was devoted to the work.

I know they look terrifying, but

the great whites keep the ocean's

whole ecosystem in balance.

Without them,

the entire marine food web falls apart.

Sounds like you shared his passion.

Yeah, we started the conservancy together.

We weren't just married,

we shared a mission, a purpose.

That sounds amazing.

Do either of you know if Steve took the boat out last night?

No, I checked the logs.

He didn't sign out, and the fuel level's the same.

Did Steve have any enemies?

He was pushing a shark protection bill

through city council.

Commercial fishermen hated it, and

some city councilors, too.

And Wave Shaye.

- That's the shark activist from the pier. - Mm-hmm.

She calls herself a biologist, but

she and her partner-- her cameraman, Dylan--

they just post videos of her

swimming with sharks for views.

She thought Steve's legislation

went too far in places.

She said that our tagging program was cruel,

and she went after him constantly.

- Is that you and Steve's son? - Yeah.

He loves sharks, too.

Um, what about the tag

on the shark that took Steve's arm?

- We can pull the GPS data. - That'd be great.

I got him.

They shared a marriage and a mission.

That's a blessing.

It is.

This got you thinking about Rodgers?

You know what, forget I asked that.

We actually have resources

and people that you can talk to, if you need to,

about the situation.

Did you just cite an HR pamphlet right now?

I am a walking, talking HR pamphlet right now.

It's, uh, Pretty Paisley's GPS data.

Uh, that's the shark's name.

She was one of Steve's favorites.

Oh.

Well, thank you for this, um...

Ginny, we're gonna do everything we can

to find out what happened to Steve.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- We'll be in touch. - Okay.

You know, Steve could've taken another boat out on the water.

- Mm-hmm. - Or he could've been killed on land

and taken out to water and dumped.

Either way, we got to check his phone records.

That's right, and we got to talk to that sharktivist, Wave.

Oh, yeah.

No, that's not possible.

Dane Cooper is the man who raped me.

I am so sorry, Jessica.

DNA confirmed it wasn't Dane.

So you're saying the man who hurt me is still out there?

Possibly. The DNA didn't match

anyone in the prison system.

It could be an administrative error.

Or he hasn't been caught.

It took me five years of trauma therapy

to regain control of my life.

I only just started being able to sleep without pills.

Oh, my God, I sent an innocent man to prison.

No.

Jessica, this is not your fault.

It is my fault. I said it was him.

We are gonna start over.

And I promise you we will do everything we can

to find the man who hurt you.

You said that ten years ago.

How do you trust the sharks not to attack you?

It's not about trust. It's control.

In the water, I give predator energy.

I convey I'm not a meal.

- Hm. - Let's look at another video.

You know what, you're a sadist.

You don't care about sharks. You torture them.

Stop with the theatrics, Wave.

She swims with sharks to make money.

Ask her about her sponsorships.

Wet suits,

dive watches, flippers.

All these companies pay you. It's how you make your living.

Now, Steve's bill would ban the chumming you do

to make the videos that build your brand, wouldn't it?

My brand raises awareness.

People come for the spectacle

and they leave thinking differently about sharks.

Comment wars.

It's pretty vicious DMs.

You and Steve have quite the history.

That's predator energy, for sure.

I didn't like parts of Steve's bill

or his tagging program, but kill him?

Please.

Our drama drove thousands of followers to my videos.

You should be talking to whoever he went out on his boat with.

Who would that be?

Dylan and I came in at 6:00,

passed Steve going out.

Here's my dashcam.

That's Marisa, his PhD intern.

Get off of me!

12-Jake-101. Sheriffs responding to a domestic.

- Get off... - Break it up, break it up. - What's going on here?

- Grab her, grab her. - What's going on? - She threw the first punch.

Oh, it was just a shove, Margaret.

Then you went down like you were auditioning for The Passion.

And that is destruction of property.

I didn't touch your light!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Hey. Hey.

Okay, you know what?

- What? - You're under arrest.

Oh!

You shoved her.

That's assault and battery.

And what you just did in front of us?

- Attempted assault and battery. - Oh.

- Finally, just desserts. - Oh...

- Also assault and battery. Hands behind your back. - What?

Let's go, ladies.

- Coming with us. - Here we go.

- Sort this out at the station. - Come on.

Marisa. A word?

- Hey. Where you going? - Hey. I got her.

Hey...

- What happened? - What's going on? - Is everyone okay?

Get up. Give me your hands.

Turn around and give me your hands.

- You okay? - No jokes?

Oh, 'cause you're afraid of sharks and you almost ended up

in a shark's mouth, yeah.

Wasn't sure that was gonna be funny.

You're really starting to freak me out with

- all this HR stuff, Brooklyn. - Sorry.

Let's get her out of here, Beantown.

Let's go, Marisa.

- That was you. - I didn't mean to hurt him.

Okay. So what happened?

Someone was stealing the acoustic receivers

anchored offshore.

That data

is the spine of Steve's research.

And you and Steve decided to stake out the area

where the receivers were?

We sat there for a while,

and then we got into an argument.

He told me that he wasn't gonna write my PhD recommendation

for Harvard.

Why not?

I made a mistake on a dataset.

So, he said he-he couldn't put his name behind me.

Like I was some kind of fraud.

I pushed him.

- He went overboard. - And was he conscious

- when he went overboard? - Yes, but

I was so mad, I... I left.

But I-I figured he would just swim back in.

From a mile out?

He's a marine biologist. A diver.

I told myself that it was gonna be okay.

That he was gonna be okay, but...

Yeah, but he wasn't.

Was he?

I killed him. I killed Steve.

So, Marisa, when exactly...

...did you cut him up?

What? I didn't cut him up.

What are you-what are you talking about?

Steve wasn't eaten by a shark.

He was dismembered and fed to a shark.

What? That's insane.

Check the boat for blood. Check my clothes.

Check everything.

I pushed him overboard, but I did not cut him up.

I swear.

More body parts washed up in Hull.

Head, leg, torso.

M.E.'s sending a report soon.

Luminol report just came back. Negative.

No blood on the conservancy boat

and no blood in Marisa's house or car.

And there's no way she could've cut up a body

and then cleaned up that much blood.

So, she didn't kill him.

So, we could charge her with assault

or reckless endangerment, but nothing else.

If that.

Did, uh, Ginny send the GPS tracking on the boat?

Yes. She did.

Let's take a look.

Okay. So here's the route from that night.

Receiver's underwater... here.

Right where Steve went overboard.

And then this is the path

the shark took that we got from the tag.

- Hmm. - No overlap. Look at that.

Not even close.

Which means Steve made it to shore

and somebody killed him there

or somebody pulled Steve aboard a boat, killed him,

and then dumped him back in the water.

Whatever the case, we got to find out who that someone is.

Well, City Councilor Doherty has an alibi.

He was at a fundraiser in Back Bay all night.

Looks like Doherty's not the only one who hates Steve's bill.

Whole bunch of fishermen do, including...

Lawrence Mortensen,

who said the proposed bill is a death sentence

for working boats.

Let's check out Lawrence.

There he is.

- Hm. - He'll be at the hearing

tonight, along with a bunch of other disgruntled fishermen.

Be kind of like shooting fish in a barrel.

Aha! M.E. report just came through.

All right, let's see here.

Cause of death was blunt force trauma

to the head. Single strike

with something heavy,

and vitreous humor in the eyes

puts time of death around 9:00 p.m.

Okay, Marisa said Steve went overboard at 8:45.

So, 15 minutes, give or take. No way he made it to shore.

Any progress on what was used to cut up Steve's body?

A knife with a deeply serrated edge.

Something that might be found on the boat of a diver

- or a fisherman. - Yeah.

Something that could easily cut through mooring lines or rope.

Or even, perhaps...

- Steve. - Steve.

Charges against you both are assault and battery.

But we got to talk about motive.

For what? The alleged tomato-cide?

Mrs. Rowen, when we inventoried your wallet,

we found this.

You two were close once. What happened?

Help us understand. What's going on here?

You want motive?

He's right there. My husband Tommy.

He dropped dead in 2006.

And she-- my best friend--

didn't come to the funeral.

No, I did come, Margaret.

I stood outside in the rain for two hours

'cause I knew something,

and I didn't know what to do.

What are you talking about?

Tommy came to me before he died,

and he said he had

aggressive pancreatic cancer.

Tommy didn't have cancer.

He had a heart attack in his sleep.

No.

He took some pills.

He wanted to spend the rest of the time

with you at home with the kids.

He didn't want to spend it in hospitals.

He wanted to go out

- on his terms. - No.

No, my Tommy wouldn't do that.

That's a sin.

No, it's not a sin, Margaret,

if you want to protect the people that you love

from watching you suffer.

You didn't tell me?

- I was blindsided. - I wanted to.

But I left.

And I've hated myself for it ever since.

I didn't need protecting

from the truth, Connie.

I needed my friend.

I'm so sorry, Margaret.

We're gonna leave you two alone.

I'm gonna take a look at dropping those charges.

Oh, you're both good boys.

There's an amendment on the table to allow

- baited buoys. - We need limits!

To protect beaches, to protect...

What about the circle hooks?

Those change what we catch, what we haul,

our income. You pass this bill, you'll kill our industry.

- All right, I... - So you want free rein

to keep killing thousands of sharks as bycatch.

These folks act like they own the ocean.

- Open up to the camera. - She's out there

chumming the waters for money. Who's psychotic?

- Hey! - Sit down.

Get your hands off me!

Hey! Take it easy, Ahab.

- Ain't that tough, tough guy. - You, sit down and shut your mouth.

- You know shoving people is assault? - Yeah, he deserved it.

Oh, yeah? That's not a good defense.

- You got any weapons on you? - My pocket.

It's for diving.

Are you serious right now?

Danny.

It's a boat knife. I have a boat.

It's got "L.M." on it

for Lawrence Mortensen.

Now, why would you have a knife

that belongs to the fisherman you just shoved?

You're not gonna find anyone's blood on it.

Except maybe a cod's.

You had motive, okay?

The bill would kill commercial fishing.

Check my boat's GPS log.

- I wasn't on the water that night. - Then where were you?

Now, why would you protect Mortensen?

Neither one of us did it

because we were together somewhere else.

The Sunrise Motel.

Yes, we were hooking up.

So can we go now?

And then Jonah gave them our business cards.

Oh, they were two lonely, old ladies,

and we helped them.

Sure, I'd rather be getting bad guys

- off the street. - Come on, bro.

They live alone, they... their children moved away

- and their husbands are gone. - Not everyone

is as lucky as the people at this table.

- True. - I know that,

but help getting delayed to people who

actually need it because these two want to bicker over

tomatoes is a problem.

- It's a waste of resources. - Well, Sean's

got a point. His great- grandfather used to always say,

"The stupid calls aren't a problem

until they get in the way of the calls that matter."

Yeah, but small calls

also tell you things, like who lives alone,

who notices things.

You know, they can be data.

Not for nothing, but you've been kind of quiet over there, boss.

You okay?

Yeah, what's going on?

I'm wondering if I got the biggest call of my career wrong.

I keep looking for the mistake,

the bad assumption, where I messed up.

I just can't figure it out.

But I did.

- I put an innocent man in jail. - Sarah,

- can't think like that. - Eyewitness

IDs aren't always reliable, we know that.

Shock, fear, trauma-- they alter memory.

What were you supposed to do?

Tell a traumatized woman she didn't recognize

the face of the man who hurt her?

And the case didn't just rest on the ID.

There was other evidence.

It was a judge, a prosecutor, a defense attorney,

the whole system came to the same conclusion.

Doesn't make him any less innocent.

No, it doesn't, but

we cops aren't perfect.

You know, all we can do is our jobs

to the best of our ability, trust the process to hold.

And when it doesn't hold, we fix it.

Look, we can do everything absolutely right

and still get it wrong.

Trust me, I've been there.

Sarah, there's a reason

you were the youngest superintendent in BPD history.

That's right.

What does your gut tell you?

That the answer lies with Jessica.

- What do you mean? - Jessica said

she did trauma therapy.

Aunt Jill explained this to me once.

A patient safely revisits

their traumatic event to change

the way that it's experienced.

What if Jessica

remembered something else in therapy?

Now, that definitely sounds like a good shot.

Dr. Matthews, please.

I'm not wild about walking Jessica

back through the assault.

I'm not asking for that.

I just need to know if anything new

about the attack came up in therapy.

It's okay. I... I want to help.

All right.

There were a few recurring pieces.

A window. Smell of rain.

- Her necklace. - What necklace?

Uh... a week before the attack,

I came home and found my front door unlocked

and my-my fridge open.

- Remember? - Yes.

But... nothing was missing from the condo.

A few weeks after Cooper's arrest,

I realized one of my necklaces

was missing.

It was a gold starfish pendant.

You never told me about that.

I told someone.

I think my attacker took it the week before,

and I started wondering...

He was wearing three gold necklaces

the night of the attack.

What if one of them was mine?

D.A.'s office had the case by then.

You told the prosecutor.

It's right there.

- I-I don't understand. - Cooper pled guilty,

so I never did trial prep with the prosecutors.

There was no way for me to have known this.

Is the necklace important?

It might be.

You told me to call

if we had a problem.

Listen, Margaret's missing.

Okay? Her car's here,

and her pocketbook's on the kitchen table,

but she's not in the house.

- Maybe she just went for a walk. - No!

With that hip?

No, she treats a curb like it's Mount Everest.

Okay, well, she couldn't have gone far.

Listen, there's something wicked wrong.

Maybe whoever broke that floodlight was trying to hide.

The fugitive was last seen in this neighborhood.

Mrs. Rowen, have you seen anybody in that house recently?

No, it's been abandoned for months.

- Please... - I'm not gonna tell you again.

Please, just let me go. - Shut up.

This is not how decent people behave.

Shut up. Shut up, shut the...

I would've given you the vegetables from my garden,

- Quiet! - and I don't even care about the light.

I said stop talking.

I want to go home.

I'm gonna put this

- right through your neck. - Please let me go.

Hey, hey! Put the screwdriver down.

- Put it down. - Stop. You don't want to do this.

He's right. You already have one mortal sin to confess.

Young man, I have lived next to that woman for 43 years,

so if anybody's gonna kill her, it's gonna be me.

Hands behind your back.

Up.

You okay, Mrs. Walsh?

Oh...

Don't ever scare me like that again, Margaret, please.

What if this was the M.O.?

The attacker breaks in before the assault,

takes a trophy, leaves things out of place

so the victim wonders if somebody was there.

Then he comes back wearing what he stole.

That's terrifying.

It's control.

So you checked other sexual assaults

targeting single women with a prior break-in?

I did. I didn't find anything.

But what if...

What if a woman reported a break-in but not the rape?

I need to check B and Es of single women.

Entries one, five, and seven are the right date range.

Julia Wilson. She lives in the same neighborhood as Jessica.

William Gordon. In Lancaster for

breaking into Julia Wilson's apartment

two weeks after Jessica's rape.

Neighbor caught him.

Did they catalogue any evidence?

He had a necklace, stolen from the apartment, in his pocket.

He was also wearing

three gold chains.

A starfish pendant.

Wave and Mortensen's alibi checked out.

They were at the motel.

The M.E. also ruled out Mortensen's knife

because the serrations on Steve's body

were more consistent with a six-inch bone saw.

Well, we know that Steve and Marisa were out there

looking for whoever it was that was sabotaging the receivers,

and the warrants for Wave and Mortensen's

boat GPS's came back.

- Okay. - Take a look at this. The red

is the conservancy boat. This is where Steve went overboard.

The green is the shark.

Now, this yellow is Mortensen's day route.

He was miles out. Back in at 5:00.

The light blue is Wave's day route, so

- ignore both of those, - Okay.

but take a look

at Wave's night route,

- this dark blue here. - Her boat passes

right by the receiver at 8:45,

when Steve went overboard.

And it crosses the shark at 9:06.

But we know it wasn't Wave driving the boat

because she was in the motel with Mortensen.

And it had to be somebody who's comfortable with diving

and swimming with sharks.

There was one other person who was comfortable

swimming with sharks.

Wave's camera operator.

Dylan.

Wave's partner.

Yep.

So why am I here, Superintendent?

Jessica Davis.

- That's a pretty name. - We retested your DNA.

It matches the man who raped her ten years ago.

It's over.

You're looking for a confession?

Now, why would I do that when Dane Cooper's

currently serving time for it?

Oh, I know. Poor Dane.

He was here for a couple years. Nice guy.

Then confess.

He's done ten years for a crime you committed.

Says you. Dane pled guilty,

which means you'll never convict me.

I'm out of here in six months.

Not really looking for more time.

Guard, I'm done.

What if we granted you immunity?

Serious?

I have a signed agreement right here in this folder.

And we're being recorded,

so if I were lying...

...any confession would be inadmissible.

Well, then.

I guess Dane should go home.

So, tell me what happened.

I saw her

at the Lansdowne T station.

I followed her home to Kenmore Square and, well,

you know the rest.

What about her starfish necklace?

Oh, that was the good part.

You see, I broke in the week before and took it.

Then I wore it the night I came back.

Your DNA also matched three other

unsolved rapes in Arlington.

Two of the women ID'd you,

and you just confessed to the same M.O.

I granted you immunity for Jessica Davis' rape.

But I can use what you just said to prosecute you for the others.

You're gonna die in here, you animal.

Hey. Dylan.

- Looks like we caught a fish. - Catch of the day.

We found the murder weapon

on Wave's boat. We found

Steve's blood in the floorboards

and we found his blood on Wave's dive belt.

No, Wave-Wave had nothing to do with this.

Her whole soul is devoted to saving life, not taking it.

Interesting. Because Wave's boat was at the murder scene,

and she definitely had motive.

- Well, it wasn't Wave! - Well, if

the murder weapon was found on her boat,

had to be her.

The only thing we can't figure out is her alibi, but

maybe she snuck out of the window of that motel

where she was sleeping with Lawrence Mortensen.

- Yeah. - No, no, no.

She wouldn't do that.

Not with Mortensen.

No, no, not after everything that I have done for her.

What exactly have you done for her, Dylan?

I was just trying to protect her.

By sabotaging Steve's receivers?

I was just hoping she'd see how much I care.

Tell us what happened that night.

Wave and I, uh, came back on the boat,

and then Wave left and then I went-I went back out.

- To where the receivers were. - Yeah.

Yeah, I took eight receivers.

But-but then I found Steve in the water.

And you pulled Steve up on the boat.

Did he see the stolen receivers?

Yeah, a-and he threatened he was gonna report us.

And, I mean,

those receivers are ten grand a pop. I...

A-And he lunged at me, and I-I j-- I panicked.

I-I panicked and...

I hit him with the dive belt.

Then what?

Well, he... I... he was dead.

I-I couldn't just bring him back ashore

and I couldn't dump him. He would just wash up.

Yeah, so you cut him up with the same saw

you use for fish, for chumming the water.

Yeah, I drove out to where the great whites feed,

and I dumped him.

And I didn't think that anything was gonna be left.

Look,

I was just trying to show Wave that I loved her.

I don't know what that is, Dylan...

...but it is not love.

Please. Please, please, just...

Please.

That's when I said, "You can't park here." You know?

- Oh, this can't be good. - Oh...

We brought you homemade clam chowder.

- Properly made clam chowder. - Oh...

- Make yourself at home. - Excuse me.

It's perfect.

We need you to settle a disagreement.

- Whose is best? - Hm.

- Uh... - I'm really glad you didn't call 911 about this.

But there is no way we're adjudicating a clam chowder war.

- Cowards. - Eh. In uniform, no less.

We wanted to thank you.

I'm really glad I've got my friend back.

Even though her chowder

- is subpar. - Hm. And even if my friend

dresses like she rummages the discount bin at Goodwill.

We've still got your cards.

Feel free to use them any time.

You can't insult me when you're wearing orthopedic shoes.

No arguing in the station, all right?

- Have a good day, ladies. - They got something,

but it's not dignity.

Look at that, man.

We just settled a 20-year dispute.

- Doesn't that feel good? - You know what feels good?

Getting a really bad guy off the street.

Which never would've happened

if I hadn't give Connie our business cards.

And we never would've given them our business cards

if I didn't insist on arresting them for abusing 911.

- So... - Look at us.

We're just like Connie and Margaret.

- No. Stop. - Separately,

we're a public disturbance,

but together... Ah, bring it in, big guy.

- Bring it in. - No. No.

Together, we somehow work.

- Are you gonna try this? - Are you crazy?

Of course we're gonna try it. Grab a spoon.

Oh, no, no. I'm more of a Manhattan chowder guy,

- so this is all you. - Oh, you're such a baby.

- Enjoy. - This is official police business.

We are drafting rules requiring constant communication between

the D.A.'s office and arresting officers,

reports shared both ways, and cases to be reviewed

All untested DNA will be tested with the new technology,

and I'm tightening the process

that allowed Gordon's DNA

to fall through the cracks after his B and E arrest.

Good.

I hope you get some peace.

You too.

- I am so sorry, Jessica. - No.

I...

Don't.

You were so compassionate back then,

and you worked so hard to find the man who hurt me,

and you did it again.

So, thank you.

We spoke with Wave Shaye, and

she feels horrible about what Dylan did.

I know. She's actually setting up a GoFundMe for us.

She's gonna activate her followers to make sure

the legislation gets puts through in Steve's name.

Oh.

Maybe she's not so bad.

Maybe.

You ready to go, honey? Mm-hmm?

Thank you again.

- Mm. - Yeah.

Careful, those bite.

Honestly, I'm actually very proud of you.

- Why? - You faced your fear of water

and, dare I say it,

- you jumped the shark. - Oh, my gosh.

What is up with you?

You've been so funny since that HR meeting.

There are only two letters I hate more than IA

and that is HR.

Guess it's just my way of facing my own fears.

You don't have to protect me.

Remember, my sister has been my boss for longer than you.

That hasn't stopped us from being family.

You and me can stay you and me. We're good.

That's great. 'Cause I do want to know

how my partner's feeling.

I feel the same way about you.

And, um,

to be honest, I have been feeling...

...sideswiped by Brian.

Even though I broke up with him.

I'm sure it was disappointing.

I mean, he wasn't willing to fight for the relationship.

Yeah, and I thought he would think about it, you know?

- Yeah. - Like, I thought we could fix it.

Well, there are some things you can't fix.

And even more things you can't control.

- Especially guys. - Oh, my gosh.

Well...

I'm learning to surrender.

Good.

Well, Wave offered to take you swimming with sharks.

Maybe you should surrender and give that a try.

- Uh, absolutely not. - Why not?

Face your fears again. Jump in the water this time.

- No way. - How about

if I offer to go with you?

- I'm gonna call HR on you. - No, I didn't mean it like that.

HR!
