Boston Blue (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

1
(indistinct chatter, laughing)
- Anything?
- Nothing.
DANNY: Hmm.
Twelve o'clock.
I see him.
So I told Madam Secretary
everything she was doing wrong.
A week later, I'm chair of
the Housing subcommittee.
- (laughing)
- LENA: Senator.
A word?
Ah.
Excuse me for a second.
My apologies. I'm not sure
we're acquainted, Miss
Detective, actually.
Detective Silver and Detective Reagan.
DANNY: You know, we're the cops
you've been dodging for
the last three days.
My assistant must have dropped the ball.
Let's talk outside.
DANNY: Claire Hayes.
She works here in the hotel.
Disappeared three days ago
in the middle of her shift.
Usually, when a woman
disappears like that,
it ends with a body.
How could I help your investigation?
DANNY: You're staying in the hotel.
Have you seen her,
had any interactions with her?
None come to mind.
There are 300 rooms.
Why are you harassing me?
Because the witnesses
that we spoke to said
that you and Claire got into an argument
right outside the hotel bar,
just hours before she went missing.
Yes, I did speak with her.
Not an argument, though.
Just a casual conversation.
I was asking about some
towels for my room.
Towels? Wow.
(Danny throat clearing)
We pulled the security footage.
Now, does that look like
a casual conversation
about towels to you?
I'm only now realizing you
and I have met before.
I apologize, Detective Silver.
I'd forgotten our
conversation years back.
LENA: I remember it perfectly.
You want to know what else I remember,
you slick son of a
Senator, we're trying to piece
together her whereabouts.
I have so much respect for the BPD,
the work you do.
But, we're having this
conversation in a hotel hallway,
not a police station.
So, assuming I'm free to go,
I'll suggest a more
respectful tone going forward.
Enjoy your party while you can.
You want to tell me
what's going on, Serpico?
- Do you know this guy?
- Don't worry about it, Reagan.
We're partners. We're tracking a suspect
who you have a history
with and you didn't bother
to tell me anything about it.
Yeah, I am worried about it.
What is going on?
If he is involved
that woman is already dead.
BECKY: You recently
secured a huge indictment
against the Russian mob in Boston.
Yes. For 20 years,
those criminals have been profiting
on the backs of working people.
No longer. They're done.
That Russian mob case was also
mentioned in a few excerpts
from a book written by a former
ADA of yours, Teddy Bradford.
Your name also comes
up quite a few times.
I'd love to get your reaction.
Bradford writes that you're soft on crime
and highlights what he calls
prosecutorial mistakes
from your ADA days. Your response?
Well, this is all news to me,
so all I can say is
no comment.
He's suggesting that you
lack the experience
I'm afraid we're up against a hard stop.
Thank you so much, Becky.
Always great speaking with you, Becky.
Keep asking the hard questions.
(door opens)
Why didn't we know about this book?
I'm willing to bet Bradford's
people leaked those chapters
specifically to create this moment.
Calculated ambush.
If this goes wide
Serious journalists don't write
stories around "no comment."
"No comment" is just the hook.
The story is whatever
that weasel has cooked up for his book.
Okay, you don't know him like I know him.
Teddy is reckless but he's not a weasel.
If the story's in the book,
we just need to see it.
Okay.
Charlie, set up a meeting with Teddy.
I want to know what he's planning
before we do anything rash.
Done.
(door opens, closes)
(horns honking)
SEAN: That fantasy league
has been blowing up my phone all day.
Dude, you traded Williams for Brown
and you expect us not to say anything?
What's the matter with Brown?
- I can't with you.
- What?
You rattle off yards-per-carry
stats like it's nothing
and then you trade for a
dude who's 100% cooked.
I'm not gonna give up on a guy
just 'cause he's going
through a rough patch, okay?
Brown's gonna turn it around.
This bleeding heart
thing of yours is 100%
tanking your chances at the playoffs.
Oh.
Eddie C. back at it again.
This guy ever give up?
- Oh! Excuse me. I'm so sorry.
- Hey, watch it.
Hey, no, I apologize.
- Eddie, come on, man.
- No, hey, guys,
look, no, thi
He stole this from somebody else. Look.
He Guys, look at that.
- It wasn't me. Hey.
- SEAN: Come on, man.
- Give me the bag. Eddie.
- Hey, no, no, no!
- I should go. Come on.
- Don't run, Eddie.
- Don't make me run!
- No, no! Be cool, man!
Be cool, come on!
Hey Oh! Okay, wow.
Hey, look at that. You're
I feel like we're getting engaged here.
That's found property. Hey.
- Come on, buddy.
- I-I hear what you're saying, guys.
Guys, look.
- I-I
- Eddie, Eddie,
you know you have the right
to remain silent, right?
No. I-I-I I get it.
You know, but I-I'm just saying.
I was It's collecting that.
See, I was collecting
- all-all that stuff, so I
- Reagan?
- Know what I mean?
- What's up with that suitcase?
Guys, is that anyone's bag?
No?
Everybody move back, okay?
Police matter. At least
a hundred yards, please.
- Come on, guys.
- Got a suspicious package.
- Unattended suitcase.
- SEAN: Thank you.
We're evacuating the park.
Yeah.
Hey, you-you're getting evacuated?
What do What
- Copy.
- When am I getting evacuated?
- JONAH: Okay, we'll keep an eye on it.
- EDDIE: Hey.
Thank you.
Hey, boss. Boss,
when-when am I getting evacuated?
Silver is that suitcase bleeding?
Yeah.
SARAH: Hey. You know you don't
need a private appointment to
Uh-oh. You have your
"something's wrong" face on.
How worried should I be?
Worried enough that I thought
you should hear this directly.
- Have a seat.
- EDWIN: I'd like you to meet
one of our Sunday School teachers, Ava.
Ava, this is my granddaughter, Sarah.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'd like you to tell
her what you told me.
It's my sister, Joyce.
Last weekend, me and my
boyfriend had a cookout.
My sister came by, in a mood.
She went up to my boyfriend,
showed him her gun, in a holster,
and told him if he don't
start acting right
she's gonna kill him.
Ava, that is an awful situation.
If you're looking for advice,
I think you should file
an official police report right away.
Your boyfriend can't file
- a regular restraint between
- Sarah? There's something else.
Something Ava isn't saying.
SARAH: Ava?
My sister is Officer Joyce Davis.
A cop.
BPD. Please, I-I don't
mean to cause trouble.
I-I just figured I
should let someone know.
Ava, you did the absolute
right thing coming to me.
I will handle this the right way,
while protecting you and
your boyfriend, okay?
(siren whoops)
- They say she's been dead for two days.
- JONAH: That's awful.
- Good work on this, boys.
- Right.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Thank you, sir.
McCLOSKEY: Thanks for
getting here so quickly.
Victim matches the description
of your missing person.
Thought you two would
want to take a look.
(sighs)
One time I wish I wasn't right.
Yeah.
- Got to get this guy, Danny.
- We will.
LOWELL: Not an argument, though.
Just a casual conversation.
I was asking about some
towels for my room.
(echoing):some towels for my room.
(clears throat) You stare any harder,
you're gonna burn a hole in that screen.
Yeah, I'm overthinking, I guess.
Something about the senator?
Gonna fill me in?
Come on.
Tell me what happened with you two.
More than I'd like. Sarah calls him
- my white whale.
- The one
- that got away.
- Yeah, back when I first
made detective, I caught this case.
It was the murder
of a young sex worker
in a penthouse downtown.
Nicole Anders.
- Lowell was the killer.
- If he was the killer,
how come he's out walking around,
you know, senator-ing?
'Cause I was green.
There was all this political
pressure and warrant delays.
By the time I got the go-ahead,
he had returned to the scene
and covered his tracks.
- So you couldn't bring a case?
- No.
I'm sure that stung.
It did, and it especially stings now.
You know, it took me years to
stop second-guessing myself.
And to rebuild my credibility.
But I've been watching
Lowell ever since then.
And he has this tell when he's lying.
Watch his hand.
- Huh.
- Yeah, it's a tic.
And he did it at the hotel last night.
When he lied to us.
I know he killed Claire, Danny.
Okay. But guys like him are slick.
You know, they get off on technicalities.
You want to get him, you got to
build a case that is airtight
- Mm-hmm.
- And follow all of the evidence.
Of course.
Speaking of, I pulled these
from different surveillance cameras,
but all with the same time stamp.
Look at this guy.
His movement, his posture.
It's like he's pulling
something inside that suitcase.
LENA: He's coming from the direction
of the hotel where Lowell is staying.
Build matches Lowell.
Height is right, too.
Yep. Could be him.
But we're gonna need a lot more
than "could be" to nail a state senator.
We're gonna have to dot the T's.
The I's. And that's usually what I do.
Picking up your habits.
Yeah, I'm picking up some of yours, too.
(keys jingle)
Let's roll.
SARAH: As superintendent,
my days are busy.
Today, I spent my morning
learning about the incident
at the cookout last week.
You threatened your
sister's boyfriend, Carl,
with your service weapon.
And worse, you said that,
as a cop, you could, quote,
"Get away with an awful lot," unquote.
So, tell me, Officer, what's going on?
Superintendent, ma'am,
that's all just, you know,
"he said, she said."
Hearsay.
I mean, it didn't go
down like that at all.
I was kind of hoping you'd
be straight with me, Officer.
Don't think I didn't do my homework.
I've gone through your file.
Questioned witnesses,
your fellow officers.
And the staff at the hospital
where you shoved Carl last June.
With your disciplinary record,
you're looking at suspension,
if not termination.
So, BS time is over.
I will ask you again.
- What is going on?
- Ma'am.
My sister's boyfriend Carl hits her.
Has been for a year.
Now, I don't like that I did what I did,
but Ava's my baby sister.
You're a cop.
If your sister's being abused,
- you go through the proper channels.
- Ma'am,
with respect, the proper
channels aren't working.
Ava's too scared of Carl
to admit what he's doing.
When we were young, I swore to Ava
I would do anything to keep her safe.
And that's what I'm going to do.
Officer Davis,
your actions are unbecoming
of a Boston Police officer.
Two weeks suspension without pay.
Leave your ID and badge here.
Your sergeant will take your weapon
and give it back to you
at the end of your hit.
Dismissed.
(door opens, closes)
I was surprised you reached
out so quickly, Mae.
I was expecting some sort of riposte.
Thank you.
Teddy, what are you doing?
I wrote a book.
That's a crime in Boston now?
That's not what I'm talking about.
The book, the released excerpts,
this whole persona
this isn't who you are.
No, you're thinking of who I was.
I've evolved.
By necessity.
After you forced me out
of the D.A.'s office.
You coached a witness.
I offered you a demotion.
You chose to leave.
When I'm D.A., you'll
be seen as shortsighted.
Jealous.
But we'd both know that's not the truth.
Mae. God, I feel badly for you.
Still playing yesterday's game.
Yesterday's game?
"But we both know that's not the truth."
You really think that matters
more than the narrative?
(scoffs)
How typically Mae Silver.
(chuckles)
When you're D.A.
Who's getting you to
think like this, huh?
- Daddy's friends?
- Spare me the condescension.
Teddy, let me give you
a little bit of advice.
Don't underestimate me.
- SEAN: Okay, ready for this one?
- JONAH: Yeah, thanks.
You know this is the
second time this month
that we've processed Eddie's haul.
He's a crook.
But still, you got to admire
(dog barking)
- the man's dedication.
- DOHERTY: All right, all right.
I'm coming.
- (whining)
- What is it, girl?
Dog's alerting on the toy, boys.
SEAN: What do we got here?
- (whistles)
- DOHERTY: Drugs with that seal
are all over, south of Mass Ave.
- What's the story with this stuff?
- DOHERTY: Drug Control
hit the dealers working the parks.
We scared 'em.
So they switched up how
they're moving product
using cute little games like this.
If we could track down where
this one came from, would that
- help you guys out at all?
- DOHERTY: Sure.
If you get lucky, you spot something,
we'd for sure want to know.
I know what that look.
How are we even supposed to
track these things down?
Eddie is a pickpocket,
he's not the dealer.
We ask him where he lifted it.
- Except he just got out on bail.
- Then we go find him.
Unless you'd rather sit around
here filling out paperwork.
Your choice.
Claire was the sweetest girl.
She had all these dreams.
But she was an amazing photographer.
She went to school to
be a photojournalist.
Boston was supposed
to be her fresh start.
We went through the security
footage from the other night.
Her interaction with Senator Lowell.
Yeah, people like Claire
don't usually get caught up
with a state senator for no reason.
Any idea what might have set him off?
No, I don't know.
Claire was patient, easygoing.
Senator Lowell
he can be very difficult.
This is the stuff that
Claire left in her locker
and the hotel computer
records you asked for.
I just hope you can
figure out what happened.
We are gonna do our absolute best.
Thank you.
MAE (on recording):
All I can say is no comment.
(door opens, closes)
What's going on, Charlie?
Someone edited your podcast exit.
Made it look like you stormed out.
"#What Is D.A.
Silver Hiding?" is trending.
What are you talking about?
What I'm talking about is 17,000 mentions
in the last hour.
Teddy did this.
Like I said: weasel.
No co-co-co-co-comment.
Just had coffee with him ten minutes ago.
Pull the Blackburn Group file.
I remember you telling
me you wouldn't ever
I said I would tell you when.
Pull the file.
(typing)
LENA: Ooh!
Perfect.
Got the hotel's key card logs.
Now we can tell where the senator's been.
Are we checking all of
the key card records
or just the senator's?
He accessed the public service elevator
30 minutes after we saw him at his gala.
Maybe he had to go to the
bathroom after eating
- those nasty crab puffs.
- Ha, ha.
- Or maybe he went to go move the body.
- Mm.
The timeline supports it.
Haven't you heard
time plus access equals opportunity?
It's a theory.
A circumstantial one, but a theory.
I get it. I'm a dog with a bone.
I hate to say it, it's kind of
like watching myself at work.
Oh, well, then you'll develop
a tolerance, won't you?
- Hope so.
- Wait.
Room service records show that Lowell
ordered meals for two
throughout his entire stay.
Including a "Lover's Delight" package.
- Champagne and caviar.
- That's very romantic.
Especially considering Lowell's wife
was back home in Worcester
the entire time.
Maybe Lowell was
stepping out with Claire.
That would be motive.
Though it's speculation,
- not enough for a conviction.
- Danny, I will say it again:
- Lowell killed Claire.
- I get it.
But we have to cover every piece.
Like this.
Dates, times, and a number. 705.
- Hmm. Room number at the hotel?
- That's what I'm thinking.
Maybe Claire was tracking somebody's
movements in that room,
like a slimy senator?
705. (clicks tongue)
Name's been scrubbed from the system.
- Powerful senator could do that.
- Yeah, but Lowell was staying
- on six.
- That's only one floor down.
Maybe he had a second room
for nefarious activities.
Come on, it's a lead. We got to track it.
Haven't you heard?
Showing your work closes cases.
Fine.
We'll go to the seventh floor.
But wipe that smile off your face.
You're way too pleased
with yourself, Reagan.
I spoke to Ava. She mentioned
her sister's suspension.
- How you holding up with that?
- You know, if you wanted
an excuse to check in on me,
you didn't have to
drive all the way out to Somerville.
We got sandwiches downstairs.
The café here doesn't
serve a real spuckie.
- Mm.
- You know, as the boss,
I'd think you'd be in
position to rectify that.
I've learned that my command
authority does not extend
to the cafeteria menu.
You seem a hundred miles away.
You want to talk about it?
When I was in college,
I had this friend, Kelly.
Her boyfriend was obsessive, controlling.
And over the course of the year, he just
turned her into a shell.
I wanted so badly to help her.
I'm feeling just as powerless
now as I did back then.
Early in my ministry,
I had a
a parishioner who was
deeply addicted to pain pills.
I was failing him.
Felt like I was failing myself.
But then one day, I sat with him on a pew
and something changed.
I I just set aside being the reverend
and I just sat there with him,
- as Edwin.
- And that helped him?
It helped me.
I realized that God never called me
to perform miracles.
He called me to show up.
Your father
he taught me about something
called Tikkun Olam.
Our creator calls us to heal the world.
But He does not need us
to be superheroes, Sarah.
He needs us to do what we can,
as the human beings He created us to be.
(short chuckle) I mean,
what else are we supposed to do?
EDDIE: So, you know,
when you guys picked me up,
I was just waiting for-for Ducky.
You guys know Ducky? Ducky?
You guys know Ducky,
right? Ducky-Ducky's Pawn Shop?
You know, anyways, I was talking to him
about the potential resale value
of some used speakers I may have
come into contact with 'cause
my sister's girlfriend
you know, she's a-she's a
lesbian now, you know
(window shuts)
(Eddie continues indistinctly)
I can't believe I let
you talk me into this.
This dude is never
gonna be helpful to us.
- Ever.
- Oh, come on.
(speaking indistinctly)
Maybe this is Eddie's
big moment, you know?
It's his, uh, his shot
to turn things around.
We-we know, with the-with the
with the-the dagger
and the-and the rings on the cover?
Right now. You get 200 bucks.
As a businessman,
I'm thinking to myself, you know,
"Who am I to judge?"
(knocking)
Eddie. Remember why you're here.
You're supposed to be leading
us to where you lifted
the leprechaun doll, right?
I know, I know. Uh
you know what, guys, I'm gonna
be honest with you, it's-it's
- just kind of hard to say.
- JONAH: Eddie.
- Focus.
- Wait, wait, wait. Uh
Wait. Okay, no, I remember,
I re-I remember, I remember.
I was I was on Wash,
south of the Arborway.
You know, where all the-all the
Indian restaurants are at,
where you get the vindaloo?
Probably where I found that item.
That's pretty far from
where we picked you up.
I-I do cover a lot of ground.
That's true.
It's all right, Eddie.
We'll check it out.
That's not too far.
Hey. You guys take probiotics?
(elevator dings)
Got to quite figure why
our victim was so fixated
on that room, 705.
But then you're not
even thinking about that
because you're fixated on
your white whale, Senator Lowell.
M.E. said that Claire died Monday night,
right after Lowell confronted her.
- Uh-huh.
- And then the body was moved
just hours after we saw him at the gala.
Yeah. But moved from where?
We don't have a crime scene.
Not yet.
That only proves he could have done it.
Doesn't prove he did.
This is it. 705.
Somebody's hungry.
LENA: Yeah. Whoever's watching.
(door opens)
Hey, hey.
Stop right there.
Don't knock on that door.
Who the hell are you?
Investigator Williamson,
with the D.A.'s office.
I'm Detective Reagan,
this is Detective Silver.
We're investigating a homicide.
Why can't we knock on the door?
- Lena Silver, right?
- Yes.
Does your mother know you're up here?
Does she need to know we're up here?
Who do you have guarded in there?
(sighs) Look
because you're you.
The guy in there is Evgeny Leskov.
The Russian hit man?
- Who?
- LENA: He's an enforcer with the Russian mob.
Car bombings and executions.
He's the kind of killer
that other killers cross
the street to avoid.
That's who our vic was obsessed with?
No wonder 705 was scrubbed
from the hotel records.
- We definitely need to speak to him.
- WILLIAMSON: Anything to do
with that guy needs to
be cleared by the D.A.
Great. We'll clear it with the D.A.
Tell my mom we're on the way.
I understand that. No, see,
I had a very crowded morning.
You know? Uh, I started
over at the bus stop
and then I m I made my way
over to the doughnut crowd.
You know how distracted a man
gets when-when he's eat
- when he's eating a cruller?
- Eddie, Eddie.
Tell us where you found
the guy who you lifted
- the toy with the drugs.
- Yeah Right, right, right,
- I know. The little
- Okay?
Little leprechaun toy, I know. I-I know
what you're talking about.
Yeah. Very cute cute toy.
Listen, guys, I have to
I have to go in here
for a second. I got to duck in here,
got to talk to a guy about something.
- Eddie, you can't
- Look, just gimme, like, two minutes.
I see you, I get it, okay?
Paulie. Paulie! Hey, hey, hey!
Okay, okay, listen, listen. Hey, okay.
Hey, uh, uh, okay. Paulie, hey
PAULIE: How dare show your face
- around here without my money, Eddie?
- Paulie
(grunts) Help! Police!
- I'm being attacked!
- Get his arm! Get his arm!
(grunting) Oh!
- Hey!
- EDDIE: Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey!
- Well, now we got to arrest you.
- Hey, look, Paulie,
I'm really sorry about this.
By the time you get out, I swear to God,
you and me, we're gonna be square, okay?
- You better
- Great. He used us.
How's that bleeding heart now?
(Eddie groaning)
Walk. Come on.
Is it bad? Feels bad.
- Come on, Eddie.
- (groans)
CHARLIE: Hmm.
Blackburn file. Worse than I remember.
- Yeah, nothing if not thorough.
- Hm.
These photos could not only
derail Teddy's political career,
they could upend his life.
Well, this viral moment isn't dying down
until the next one shows up.
D.A. Silver. Charlie.
- CHARLIE: Detective.
- MAE: What are you two doing
poking around my cooperating witness?
We're looking for a murderer.
- Well, it's not Leskov.
- DANNY: How do you know?
Because he's helping me dismantle
the Russian mob in Boston.
Yeah, he's a very bad guy, he's gonna
go to jail for a very long time.
However, right now he's
under 24-hour surveillance,
he's got armed guards
and an ankle monitor.
- So, in other words
- Airtight alibi
- for Claire's murder.
- Yeah.
Airtight as can be.
Sarah, do you think two
weeks suspension is enough?
She threatened a civilian.
Well, she was looking out for her family.
I mean, that counts for
an awful lot to me.
Yeah, but does that
suddenly trump her badge?
Well, she kept her weapon holstered.
But the threat was real enough.
So, what, she's supposed
to just stand there
- while her sister gets beat up?
- MAE: That's not the point.
You're police officers.
Your duty is to the law.
I know. I'm just saying.
Someone threatens one of my sisters?
They best watch out.
Protecting family and
upholding your duty are both
sacred values. Each
incomplete without the other.
And to be honest, your sisters
would probably be fine.
They're both armed and very dangerous.
(laughing)
- That's right.
- That's right.
What are you so fascinated by?
It's Mae.
Some of these jerks
online are out of control.
DANNY: No phones, Sean.
Speaking of people who should watch out.
SARAH: The whole thing is so gross.
The way they edited that video
- is completely manipulative.
- MAE: Spent years
building a reputation,
and some smug ex-employee
tries to tear it down in one day.
Victims calling my office
they must be wondering
if they can trust me to get them justice.
DANNY: I never really got used
to knuckleheads taking shots
at my dad in the press or online,
but the good ones see you for
the good that you're doing.
I couldn't agree more.
I agree too, but online,
truth is just the opening bid.
Whoever's loudest is the one
that gets the attention.
Yeah, but Danny's right.
It's the good you do
- that's most important.
- EDWIN: Amen.
The rest is just noise.
(short chuckle)
- EDWIN: Hey, good night.
- MAE: Good night, boys.
DANNY: You barely said a word at dinner.
Yeah. Just thinking, I guess.
Just thinking?
Come on. Tell me what's going on.
Some guy a pickpocket
used me today,
and just made me feel
like an idiot in front of Jonah.
I get it.
I've been there before,
believe it or not.
It's easy to be jaded.
What's difficult is believing in people
when they don't always
believe in themselves.
Well, how do you keep believing
without being a sucker?
- Because
- What's that saying?
Um, "Trust, but verify."
Having faith in people isn't naïve.
It's what makes you a good cop.
- Uh, "Trust, but verify," huh?
- Yeah.
Your heart's in the right place.
Don't let one doofus change that.
Come on.
LENA: I should have
known this would happen.
- DANNY: What?
- Oh, what always happens.
People like Lowell they always win.
I don't know what else to do.
Okay, what happened
last time is irrelevant.
Why don't you have my
back with this case?
What are you talking about?
You've been questioning
every instinct that I have.
Why don't you trust me?
I need your help, Danny.
And I thought you were
the kind of partner
who would understand and
who would stand with me.
- Was I wrong about you?
- Of course I trust you.
And more importantly, I believe in you.
You think I'd be in
this city if I didn't?
Sean or no Sean, I would be out of here.
And I also happen to believe that
you are 100% correct
about Senator Lowell.
But I've been down this
road before, many times.
We have to be smarter than him.
So when we nail that son of a bitch,
we nail him for good.
That's what the victims deserve.
And maybe you could trust
me a little bit, too.
Danny.
Yeah?
That call Claire made to
Main Channel Construction.
- They didn't know her.
- She knew them.
Look.
2501 Banning Ave.
That's right next door to the hotel.
This could be the same type of
plastic Claire was wrapped in.
Yeah.
That is a whole lot of blood.
I think we just found our crime scene.
Yeah.
(sighs) Hey, man, I, uh
I wanted to say sorry about
how things went down yesterday.
Yeah, well, that's what you
get for trusting crooks.
I don't know. Would you be mad if I said
I wasn't ready to give
up my bleeding heart?
breast pocket wallet,
you know, is very
- Okay! Uh Oh.
- OFFICER: Good?
Oh! Hey, fellas! Fellas.
Listen, hey, look, those
Tho-Those were the fellas
I was telling you about.
Look, I got a hot lead for you.
- Okay? I got a hot-I got a hot lead.
- You two know him?
- Unfortunately.
- What'd he do this time?
Got him for jumping a turnstile.
Yeah, yeah yes, yes, but
I only jumped the turnstile because
I was chasing that
leprechaun guy for you.
Eddie, how are we supposed
to trust you, man?
Yesterday you used us to
buy time for your debt.
Yeah, I-I know, I-I did, I did.
I feel really bad about that, okay? But
this time I'm 100% on the level. I saw
Mr. Leprechaun Guy
selling out of that park
with the fountain, you know,
by the-by the old T station.
- Hamill Park?
- Ah. Yes. Yes.
SEAN: That's actually pretty close to
where we were on our
wild-goose chase yesterday.
JONAH: And the DCU officer
did say the drug dealers
were working the parks.
Guys, I-I saw him. Okay?
I saw him. I can ID him for you, I swear.
- You book him yet?
- Mm-mmm.
No.
All right, Eddie.
- You can show us, okay?
- Yeah!
But you're staying in those cuffs.
You do exactly what we say
or else you're coming right
back here. Understood?
- You're right, yeah, of course, yeah.
- JONAH: Sean,
sounds quite familiar.
Eh, come on, live a little.
He flakes again, I'll buy you a beer.
Uh, you already owe me a beer.
That'll be two beers.
- (chuckles)
- This is true.
I love beers. Listen
I'm not a part of this. I'm sorry.
DISPATCH: All units, Priority 1.
Off-duty Officer Davis
responding to hostage situation
in progress, requesting response.
Yankee-Charlie-3 to dispatch,
take me off to that location as well.
(police radio chatter)
DAVIS: Carl! Ava?
- Carl!
- (Carl shouting)
DAVIS: Carl! Ava!
Carl! Oh, my God!
What's going on, Sergeant?
Superintendent. We've got
boyfriend intoxicated,
barricaded inside with
girlfriend, he's armed.
Officer Davis was off duty, came over,
- situation deteriorated.
- Carl!
Let my sister go, Carl!
I have the girlfriend's cell.
Hold position
and maintain perimeter
until I make contact.
Get Davis back here.
Officer Davis! Get back here.
Why?! Don't you know I love you?!
Tell your sister to leave us alone!
Carl, please.
CARL: I love you!
OFFICER: Stay back, stay back.
(phone vibrates)
- What do you want?
- SARAH: Carl?
I'm Sarah, with Boston PD.
Sounds like you're
going through something
- really tough right now.
- I'm not gonna hurt her.
I take care of her.
I can hear that in your voice, Carl.
You love her.
But I can also tell that
you are pissed off about something.
So, Carl, tell me
what has got you so pissed off?
It's Ava's cop sister.
She's always in our business.
(scoffs) If I were in your shoes,
I'd feel like I was under attack.
Here you are just trying to protect
- what you have with Ava.
- Exactly.
Everybody thinks I'm
some kind of a monster.
What if this could end
with both of you walking away safe?
Show everybody you are
the guy who protects her.
That starts with putting that gun down
and coming outside.
- Can you do
- (hangs up)
- Carl?
- (disconnect tone)
OFFICER: Hands where I can see 'em!
OFFICER 2: Hands up!
Drop your weapon right now! Drop it!
Weapon down. Go, go, go!
OFFICER: Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
OFFICER 3: Stay back, stay back.
Joy.
It's okay. It's okay.
CSRU got fibers,
prints and blood from two people.
But what was Claire doing in here?
Well, we know she wanted
a photo of Leskov.
She was an aspiring
photojournalist, right?
My money says she set up shop here
to get a photo of Leskov here.
One of those must be room 705.
Yeah.
Well, he put her in the suitcase here
after he dragged her
from this point, where he hit her.
With the rebar.
That was the killing blow.
But then the fight started
here.
Why?
That's the question.
Wait a minute.
Oh
Thank you, Claire.
(exhales)
It's a camera.
So she must have stashed
it right before he arrived.
Time stamp says four days ago.
That's just before the
time of Claire's death.
Yeah.
(short chuckle)
Definitely took these from here.
And she got her photo of Leskov.
And that's not all she got.
No, it isn't.
Senator Lowell with his mistress.
And look when he saw
her taking the photo.
DANNY: He didn't look too happy.
Wow.
He comes over here to
get rid of that photo,
confronts Claire.
Lowell. Blood. Crime scene.
You know what this means, right?
We got him.
EDDIE: Guys, I really love parks.
It's positive vibes,
good energy. Makes it very
easy for me to do my job,
- if I'm being honest, you know?
- Eddie, Eddie. You're not our C.I., okay?
Don't confess crimes to us.
Yeah, yeah, no, I know.
Right. If I wanted to,
I mean, I could tell you,
you know? (chuckles)
- But I'm not gonna.
- Yo, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
Is this the guy you were chasing?
Oh, my G Yeah, no, no,
yeah, no, that's him.
I To be honest with you,
I didn't actually expect him
to be here, but yeah, yeah, that's him.
Okay, so now what do we do?
I mean, do we just trust Eddie?
(chuckles) I don't trust Eddie
as far as I can throw him, but
- Same.
- Maybe?
Don't we need, like,
probable cause or something?
- Do we just
- What are you
what are you guys talking
about? That's him.
Eddie, Eddie,
Come on, guys, get him, we got it.
Just Shh!
Eddie, chill, he's right there. Hey,
hey, - Eddie, shh. Chill, chill, chill.
Fella! Hey!
These-these cops
they think you're holding! Huh?
- Huh? Yeah! Yeah, see?
- Go, go, go.
- Probable cause!
- Come on!
Hey, get him! Hey! Hey!
- Run, Eddie!
- Go! I'm coming!
- Come on! Come on!
- Nothing to see here!
Police business!
Suspect on the boardwalk.
Hey!
Stop! BPD!
(grunting)
We did it! We got him! Huh?
Yeah, Eddie, we did.
EDDIE: Hey, buddy.
Looked like that hurt, huh?
- Man, I told you! Whoo!
- Maybe that bleeding heart of yours
can actually be useful sometimes.
Tough day today?
Everyone's alive.
Other than that, Tikkun Olam.
I just got to keep showing up.
What else are we supposed to do?
MAE: Hello, Teddy.
(exhales)
This place seems smaller.
My advisors said this meeting was either
a surrender or an attack. I said
Mae Silver never surrenders.
I'm guessing that's the attack.
The opposition researchers they
they found quite a bit of stuff on you.
- Political blackmail.
- I wanted to ambush you. Put you
in your place. Give you
your own viral moment.
I'm not gonna do it.
You're, what, giving up?
- What am I missing?
- The bigger picture.
You're young, you're ambitious,
you're very talented.
You really could be someone
who makes a difference,
but instead you're throwing it away for
your 15 minutes of attention.
You think I'm throwing my career away?
I think you're on the verge
of discovering that the people
who are using you are
fair-weather friends
and they're just gonna toss
you aside when it suits them.
So, go on your book tour.
Just say what you want to say about me.
And if you ever remember why you wanted
to become a prosecutor, then we can talk.
But Teddy, the next time you try
to destroy someone's reputation,
just make sure your own
house is clean first.
Because if I found this
imagine what your
new friends will find.
JENKINS: Detectives, please.
The senator's a busy man.
- What are we doing here?
- DANNY: We won't waste too much
of your time. Just need
to ask you a question.
Fine, let's get this over with.
LENA: Our victim. Claire Hayes.
An aspiring photojournalist.
Here are some photos that
she took from the hotel.
Is this a photo show?
DANNY: Now, we can't prove
that you were yelling at Claire
because she took these photos,
nor can we speak to your
state of mind in this photo
of you and your lovely mistress.
- Okay, I think we're done here.
- No, we're not.
LENA: 'Cause, you see,
thankfully, we don't
need to prove any of those things.
'Cause we've got your hair at the scene.
And your DNA on the rebar
you struck her with to kill her.
DANNY: We'll also make
sure the jury gets a look
at the surveillance footage
of you dragging Claire's body
into the park in a suitcase,
where you were gonna dump her
in the pond until you saw
two officers and panicked and
then left her there to rot.
But, honestly, after seeing all this,
they won't need to see that.
Please. None of this sticks.
(clears throat)
If you're so confident in your case,
why even drag me down here?
LENA: So I could ask you one question.
How does it feel to know that,
after all this time,
escaping justice
you are finally going away for good?
You were right and you stuck to it.
I hope this finally
brings you some peace.
I get to tell Claire's family.
And I get to call Mrs. Anders tonight,
tell her I finally
got the guy who killed her daughter.
Yeah.
Listen, Danny,
you know what it meant
to me to catch this guy.
Got me off my game.
I am sorry for how I came at you.
What I said about you not
having my back it was wrong.
Honestly, I don't even know
why I took it that far.
But I truly appreciate you
for not taking it to heart.
You know, I'd be lying if I said
I haven't done the same thing
dozens of times in my career.
But I've been blessed
with great partners.
They gave me space and grace.
Allowed me to blow up.
Were still there for me,
keep me on the right track.
Kind of like you did.
From the moment I stepped into this city.
So, thank you.
Thank you for not bailing on me.
I don't plan on it, partner.
(chuckles softly)
