I wake up late from this bed again ♪
Does the sun only rise ♪
Just to set again? ♪
That darkness always creeps in ♪
Don't make me question
the skin I'm in ♪
I think I'm not who you
think you thought I was ♪
Really came up from the bottom,
came up from the mud ♪
I walk through the
valley in the end ♪
Appreciate you helping me
out on our day off, partner.
Are you sure your serial
killer's on this bus?
Yeah, bail bondsman
buddy of mine says he
bounced back and forth
from New York to Boston
on the Chinatown Express.
Easier to blend in.
Abraham Nemes.
This serial killer looks more
like a substitute teacher.
Apparently he beat a double murder rap
of two other little girls because of
mishandled evidence. Kept 'em alive
as long as he could before
torturing them to death.
LENA: Here's our bus.
That's him.
Let's go.
- Hey.
- LENA: Excuse us. Excuse us.
- Come on, move! Please step aside.
- Out of my way.
- Move to the side. Excuse us.
- DANNY: Step aside.
Think I lost him.
DANNY: Move. Move!
- Excuse us. (mutters)
- Out of the way!
LENA (sighs): Oh, man.
DANNY: Where'd he go?
Damn it.
Wait a minute. I see him.
- Yeah, I see him, too.
- Okay.
- He's on the stairs.
- Okay.
You take that stairway, Flo-Jo.
I'll funnel him towards you.
- Got it.
- Hey! Nemes!
Wait! Police!
Hold it! Watch out.
Hold it!
Stop! Police!
Nemes!
Got him.
Let me out.
Let me out, you bitch.
Long way from home, aren't you, Nemes?
Come on! Hurry up and
get him out of here.
- Got him, Reagan.
- DANNY: Go.
Reagan?
Erin Reagan's brother?
How the hell do you
know my sister, scumbag?
- Oh, we go way back.
- What the hell did you say?
Long way from home, aren't you, Danny?
All right, get him out of here.
Read him his rights.
Especially the one
about remaining silent.
EDWIN: I said I didn't
mind if you had coffee, but
now that I'm watching you drink it,
I think I mind very much.
(laughs) Only clear liquids
before surgery.
Everybody keeps telling me how minor
this trans-whatever, tube-in-
the-heart procedure is, but
Transcatheter aortic
replacement valve, Dad.
It's a simple outpatient procedure.
Well, if it's so simple,
why can't I have coffee
before I go under?
You're not going under.
There's no general anesthesia
- in this surgery.
- SETH: Yeah, the procedure's a miracle.
My dad had it a couple years ago.
He's good as new.
- Hey, plays pickleball once a week.
- Oh.
So the surgery's a miracle
because it worked?
(laughing)
Not exactly reassuring.
And stop trying to get me to
play pickleball with your dad.
(laughing)
I'm just saying.
I think we have tormented Grandpa enough.
It is time to go.
Hey, Rev, seriously,
surgery is no big deal.
- You'll be home tonight for Shabbat.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, you two go get the car.
We'll meet you outside.
What's up, Dad?
Talk to Lena.
Tell her the truth about her father.
- Where is this coming from?
- She told me
she asked, and you pushed her away.
I can see the space growing between you.
And I won't have it,
not as long as I'm here.
You're not going anywhere, Dad.
You can tell me how minor this surgery
is until you're blue in the face.
The fact is none of us get to
decide when we're called home.
Now, before I put my life in a
doctor's hands, I need to know
this secret you've kept won't go on.
The girl deserves to know her family.
- We're her family.
- Not all of it.
You've given her a beautiful life.
Now she wants to know
about what's been missing.
Promise me you'll talk
to Lena and tell her.
Tell me what?
Sarah and Seth are waiting.
- Everything okay?
- EDWIN: Well
it's time for me to go. You
can ride with your mother.
Okay.
Okay?
What's going on?
Wait right here.
I have something for you.
This is him?
This is my dad?
Yeah.
Chris Williams.
It was just before graduation.
Chris was not a good guy.
He, uh he was arrested for robbery.
He was a criminal?
Yes.
He was exciting.
I was a preacher's kid,
about to enter law school.
Everything was so controlled.
But Chris he made me feel alive.
Did you love him?
I did.
I tried to change him.
But one night, he and a friend
they broke into a house.
There was a family inside.
Chris held them at gunpoint
while they robbed them.
I broke up with him in a
jailhouse visiting room.
And two weeks later,
I discovered I was pregnant.
Did he know?
No, I didn't tell him.
I couldn't let a man
like that in our life.
In your life.
So I raised you on my own.
Love him or not, I loved you more.
So, do you know what happened to him?
I moved on.
You were happy.
I met Ben, we became a family.
How am I gonna find Chris Williams?
There's got to be a
thousand of 'em. (laughs)
You still want to find him
after what I just told you?
Why wouldn't I? Does
does him being a criminal
make him less my father?
It was never about him.
Finding him has always been about me.
Crispus.
Crispus
is his name.
Okay.
Like Crispus Attucks,
the first man to die in the revolution.
Wait.
Is he from Boston?
- Is he still here?
- Would that change anything?
- Everything.
- It
You told me
that he left when I was born.
This whole time I've been wondering
where I come from and why
my father didn't love me.
Lena, our lives are so full
and beautiful and rich.
I thought that would be enough.
You want to know why
I became a detective?
You know it was so I could
find answers, right?
You know it's so I can
solve this mystery.
You denied me something
that could have changed
everything about me.
You really took something from me.
I'm gonna go before I say
something I can't take back.
Your ride's here.
Abraham Nemes, you'll be extradited
to New York for the kidnapping,
rape and murder of Cleo Wade.
You are not gonna slip through
our fingers this time.
A.D.A. Erin Reagan.
These detectives will escort you.
No. These detectives
won't escort me anywhere
if you hope to find young
Lauren before it's too late.
- What the hell did you just say?
- What?
Three weeks ago,
Lauren Jackson went missing
on Charles River Road.
You kidnapped that
little girl from Boston?
The news reports were mistaken.
I took her on Museum Way.
Danny!
You son of a bitch. Where is she?
(laughs) Good Reagan, bad Reagan.
You really are a loose cannon,
aren't you, Danny?
- You playing a game with us?
- Yes.
And if you want to find Lauren Jackson,
you're gonna play along.
All right, guys, come over here.
Anyone know what this machine does?
- It's for fingerprints.
- Right.
We heat cyanoacrylate to make vapor
that reacts with oils
in latent fingerprints.
And this is a gas
A gas chromatography mass spectrometer.
It's used to identify drugs
and unknown substances
found in forensic samples.
Excellent, Cisco.
That's all the time we have in the lab,
but it looks like
Sergeant Esch is here to take
you down to the motor pool.
(quietly) Phoebe.
Thanks for getting me
into the Teen Academy.
You got yourself in with
that essay you wrote.
Thanks for taking an
interest in what I do.
Well, it's hard not to after
what you did at Bar Volo.
You were amazing taking
out those bad guys.
How did you know what
they were gonna do?
The eyes.
Watch the eyes.
The eyes always give them away.
Go catch up to your class.
Okay. Just thanks.
Who was that?
Sarah. She's a superintendent.
- How do you know her?
- She's engaged to my dad.
Your dad's engaged to the boss?
I thought you were for real.
What is that supposed to mean?
Some of us are trying to
do something with this.
More than just impress Daddy's bae.
Well, you don't know
what I'm trying to do.
I earned my way into this
program just like you did.
Sure, princess. Whatever you say.
(indistinct chatter)
Hi.
Hey.
Thanks, Seth, for sitting with Dad.
Yeah, it's my pleasure.
Hey, good luck, Rev.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
- We'll see you tonight.
- Okay.
- How'd it go?
- How do you think?
You did the right thing,
telling Lena about her father.
I know you were afraid,
but I never want you
to feel the way I felt
when you found out about
your mother's death.
- Right, but she
- It's time to go to the O.R.,
- Reverend Peters.
- It's too early.
RESIDENT: A surgical slot opened up, so
we've had to adjust the schedule.
It's gonna be all right.
I'm supposed to say that to you.
- Then say it.
- It's gonna be all right.
I feel better already.
(Mae chuckles)
- Love you, Dad.
- Love you too.
Is this is the last photo
you have of Lauren?
Yeah.
We took it a few days before the museum.
And
ERIN: It's okay. We can't
imagine how hard this is.
Do you recognize this man?
Is that him? He took my daughter?
We think so, but we're still
piecing things together.
Is Lauren Is she
Alive.
Is she alive?
We don't know.
But if she is, we will
find her with your help.
I need you to think.
Do you remember this man?
(phone vibrates)
LENA: Hey, Sarah. I know
I missed you. Sorry.
Everything okay with Grandpa?
Uh, I
don't know, actually.
What do you mean you don't know?
I thought you were with him.
Sarah, Mom told me who
my biological father is.
- What?
- Yeah, after you and Seth left.
I think Grandpa made her.
And he lives close.
- He's in Eastborough.
- Oh, Lena,
tell me you are not
in the car right now.
I just got in the car
and I started driving.
That's
You know he's the chief of police?
And that has to mean something, right?
Lena, think about this.
I'm done thinking. I'm
I'm gonna meet my dad today.
Dad was your dad.
Yeah, Ben will always be my dad.
I guess I just don't know
why you need to meet him.
Yeah, I guess you wouldn't.
You've always known you
were loved, you know?
So have you.
Yeah, but not by the first person
that was supposed to love me, Sarah.
And now I know he was
never given the chance.
Let that sink in.
Yeah. Okay.
Lena, please be careful.
Always.
Everything okay?
Grandpa's in surgery now.
- What do you got?
- A situation.
Lauren's family confirmed they saw
Nemes the day she was kidnapped.
- SARAH: They're sure?
- ERIN: He's got her.
And we need to get her back.
You built a case against Nemes
in New York. You know him.
What do we do?
Anything he wants.
He's a killer with antisocial
personality disorder,
and a need for physical and
intellectual dominance.
Okay, I love you, sis,
but you're not making any sense.
This guy is a psychopath,
and we're supposed to just listen to him?
Let me put the screws to
him for a little while.
He will tell us where Lauren is.
It's not gonna work, not with Nemes.
He'd rather die than let us win.
So we just gonna let him call the shots?
Well, I have a plan.
You're not gonna like it.
I don't like it already.
Well, this is gonna be fun.
Okay, Mr. Nemes,
what do you want from us?
Oh, that won't do, Detective Reagan.
If you want to know where Lauren is,
you got to butter me up a little.
Maybe I could just smash your
head through that glass instead.
Okay, Danny. Enough.
Let's start again.
Sorry, Abraham.
Okay, Abraham, would you
tell us where we can find
Lauren Jackson, pretty please,
with a cherry on top?
SARAH: Mr. Nemes,
what's it gonna take to get
Lauren back with her family?
Now there's a lady who knows
the right question to ask.
All I need's a car and a driver.
Well, maybe we should
give him some caviar
and a back rub while we're at it.
Detective Reagan'll do.
I'll guide him to Lauren, and all I ask
is to see his face when we get there.
- O-Okay.
- DANNY: Okay.
You'll get it your way.
Get up.
And one more thing.
I think we'll bring A.D.A.
Reagan along for the ride.
Come on, Erin. It'll be fun.
MAN: Can I help you?
Hey. Sorry.
Yeah, I came to talk to, uh
came to talk to your chief.
- Chris Williams.
- Chief's not here today.
He's in town on business.
You should have called ahead.
Huh.
Yeah, I should have.
Uh, guess I was impulsive.
Um,
I-I
came to ask a few questions about,
um a cold case.
BPD.
Ooh.
(laughs)
Uh, since you came all the way out here
to the boonies, maybe I can help.
Come on back.
I'm Detective Asher Reed, by the way.
You know the chief well?
Yeah, you'd think.
Been here for ten years.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe you can help.
Abraham Nemes has promised to
lead Danny and Erin to Lauren Jackson.
He says that she's still alive,
but we should be prepared
- for the worst.
- Like Nemes
leading us on a wild goose chase.
We'll be ready for it.
You two will be in an unmarked
that I will be tracking via
GPS with Detectives Flores
and Capshaw in a follow car.
Don't let them out of your sight.
FLORES: Yes, ma'am.
I really don't know about this.
It's the only way we
are gonna find Lauren.
- Says you.
- Yeah, says me.
Says the only plan we have.
Let's hope it works.
LENA: So, where is everybody?
Small town, small department.
So, uh, what'd you want to ask
the chief? What's the case?
Home invasion.
Robbery.
Forty years ago.
Forty-year-old home invasion?
That's a long way to
reach back for a robbery.
Yeah, well
there's circumstances.
Maybe the chief has some information.
What kind of guy is he, by the way?
The kind you'd step in
front of a train for.
Taught me how to do the job,
and a lot about how to be a good man.
At least, you know, to try.
Wow, that's a really intense
thing to say about your boss.
- He's more than just my boss.
- (phone rings)
Just give me one sec.
- He's like a-a mentor?
- Yeah, he's, um
(clears throat)
Detective Reed.
Whoa, whoa, slow down, Emmett. Yeah.
Is he still there?
What do you mean, you ain't sure?
Okay, all right, all right.
I'm-I'm on my way. Okay.
Apparently you got to work.
I'm headed home.
And I'll call ahead next time.
That's a long way to drive for nothing.
Why don't you ride with me?
Got an armed robbery
at Emmett's pharmacy.
Addict named Pete stuck the place up.
Come on. You said you were impulsive.
Why stop now? I'm shorthanded.
Be good to see how you do
things in the big city.
All right, I'll grab my gear.
Keep straight.
So, what makes Big Apple
royalty like a Reagan
leave New York?
Tired of living in daddy's shadow?
DANNY: None of your business.
Talk.
Talk
or I stop giving directions.
I wanted a change of scenery.
But turning your back on the family
that must have been traumatic.
Wasn't it?
No, it wasn't.
A.D.A. Reagan isn't great
at hiding her feelings.
I was fine with Danny's choices.
Clearly. (chuckles)
You sure about that?
What? We missed you. I mean,
we were all surprised
that you actually stayed.
Who's we?
We, the family.
I mean, it's not the same without you.
Okay, but you said the family was fine
with me leaving and now you make
it sound like they were disappointed.
Okay, well, we all miss you.
- So you were disappointed.
- Left! Here, now.
The hell was that?
That should shake that
clumsy tail you had on us.
DANNY: The bus terminal? We're just
headed back where we came from.
When we park, I need my legs unshackled
- DANNY: No.
- So I can walk.
You're not getting your legs unchained.
How else can I lead you to Lauren?
Keep my hands cuffed if
it makes you feel better.
It's not happening.
We have to.
There's no other way.
(sighs)
(door opens)
Arguing? Disrupting class?
You two are supposed to
be the future of BPD.
What is this?
- We were at the motor pool and he said
- I don't care what he said.
You should know better.
And you.
Your counselor called me
directly to vouch for you.
- I'm sorry, ma'am.
- I know you want to become a cop
to make a difference
in your neighborhood.
I respect that.
But Cisco, you can't let
anything like this happen again.
Dismissed.
Not you, Phoebe.
Okay.
- What happened?
- He kept
riding me about being a nepo baby.
He wouldn't listen to me.
He wouldn't take me seriously.
My mom is the D.A., my dad was a judge.
You think I never heard
the nepo baby thing?
You can't let it get to you.
- What am I supposed to do?
- Work with
the people who doubt you,
not against them.
Show them you belong.
That's not fair.
So?
There are perks
to being a part of a law
enforcement dynasty.
- Like what?
- All of the knowledge
of everyone that came before.
And, you know
making the world a safer place.
Come on.
Phones out, drop 'em in the garbage can.
What?
Just do it.
Ticket booth.
Buy three seats on the
Chinatown Express.
Wait a minute,
you said Lauren was in Boston.
Why the hell are we going to New York?
I'm a liar, Danny. Didn't Erin tell you?
Or was she afraid to hurt your feelings
like your brother Jamie?
- You better watch what you say.
- Okay, enough, Danny.
How the hell does he even
know about our family?
He doesn't know anything about us.
He has the Internet. Relax.
Don't move.
Ma'am, we need three tickets
on the Chinatown Express.
Ma'am, please.
Good. Now go to the west gates.
But those are the locals.
Told you.
I'm a liar.
That boy should be in jail by now.
Aw, Emmett, Pete's been
harmless up until now.
I'm sorry this happened,
but we'll get it under control.
Who's this?
This is Detective Lena
Silver.
S-Silver.
BPD. Nice to meet you.
Just get that junkie off my property
so I can get back to work.
- Was anyone hurt?
- No.
He barged in, waved a gun around,
made me open the safe
and took all the Oxy
- I had on hand.
- And you think he might still be around?
I told you on the phone, I don't know.
Was he high when he robbed you?
No. Looked like he was in withdrawal.
Voice was, uh, sharp,
eyes-eyes were wide.
I think he was in pain.
Guy in withdrawal does
something like this,
usually because he's
desperate for a fix.
Meaning he'd find the
nearest spot to get high.
You don't think he went far.
Did you hear Pete's truck?
EMMETT: The diesel?
Come to think of it,
no, I didn't hear it.
He's on foot, most likely close by.
Go inside, stay safe.
We'll check it out.
All done.
- How is he?
- Oh, Reverend Peters was a model patient.
We'll monitor you for a few hours.
All good, we'll discharge
you this evening.
Thanks, doctor.
How you feeling, Dad?
(groans)
Like I didn't realize how much pressure
I had in my chest before.
Dad.
I'm okay. You were right.
I needed help. Just needed to rip that
Band-Aid off and get it done.
Just like you and Lena
No, Dad, I'm not talking about
Lena now, I'm here for you.
Trust me.
Everyone will be happier
now the truth is out.
Light is the best disinfectant.
L'dor vador.
What's that?
L'dor vador.
"From generation to generation."
Knowledge, traditions,
values being passed down.
Yeah, well, we also pass down our trauma
and generational wounds.
And secrets.
Is that why you forced this, Dad?
Is that why you insisted that I
tell Lena about her father
to absolve your own sin for
lying to me about my own mother?
You know what?
I hope you feel better, Dad,
'cause I think Lena hates me now.
(monitor beeping rapidly)
Dad.
Dad.
(gasps)
Dad. Dad!
He's crashing. Maybe a bleed.
- We need to get him to the O.R. now.
- Why?
- What's going on?
- We're gonna take good care of him.
(forklift beeping)
Car's still on.
There.
Must have found Emmett's
keys in the pharmacy.
(door handle rattles)
Pete?
Hey, Pete.
Pete? No, no, Pete, no.
Pete, no! No, Pete!
Stop the car!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?
I'm gonna stop him before he gets
on the road and kills somebody.
Police. I need your vehicle right now.
(grunting)
Hands up!
You okay?
Whoo! That's gonna hurt tomorrow.
Could have killed someone this time.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm locking you up.
Got anything sharp on you?
- No.
- Gun.
That was amazing.
(laughs) Too bad Chief
Williams ain't here.
He'd love you.
Oh, uh, maybe we do need
to get you checked out.
No, I
Uh, give me a sec.
Yeah.
(laughing)
What am I doing here?
You good?
Uh, yeah.
I'm good.
(laughs)
(both laughing)
Good.
DANNY: Stand right here.
Come on.
Follow me.
Hey! Come here.
Danny.
It's cold out.
I don't like how exposed
we are out here.
So keep your gun on him.
I will.
You follow orders
surprisingly well, Danny.
Must be all those years of your
sister telling you what to do.
I'm not gonna take
much more of his crap.
Okay, well, he's leading us to Lauren,
so just swallow your pride.
I will if you stop taking his side.
Just listen to him, Danny.
We were able to go back in
through the same incision.
Found the bleed.
Is he okay?
The repair was successful.
He'll be good as new in a couple weeks.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
You scared me.
Me too.
I'm sorry.
No, don't.
We're gonna be all right.
Yeah.
Faith and family being our north star,
nothing can hurt us.
You taught me that.
L'dor vador.
(chuckles)
Digital prints go into permanent
police records and are run
against state and national databases.
In minutes, we know a suspect's full
criminal history, including open warrants,
previous arrests,
charges and convictions.
We grab a digital photo for the file
and then we lead the
criminal this way to holding.
The criminal remains in
(grunts)
Go.
Go, go, go! Come on, let's go, move!
Everyone, out of the way, let's go!
Cisco, move! (grunts)
Why'd you do that?
You're welcome. (groans)
That was
I mean, that was awesome.
Thanks.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I think I hurt my arm.
(sharp inhale) Ooh.
Somebody grab her some ice.
ERIN: Your other victims
were found in abandoned buses
around New York.
Is that a thing for you,
a reason why you do it?
Not much further.
So, what happened to you, anyway?
You bullied on a school bus as a kid,
now you take it out on
little girls, you coward?
Danny.
NEMES: We're here.
Stay right there.
Don't move.
Where are the lights in here?
May I?
Let there be light.
This way.
You better hope she's still okay.
(girl crying in distance)
ERIN: Danny.
You hear that?
Hold on.
I hear it.
- Yeah.
- Come on.
Getting warmer.
- Lauren?
- Lauren!
(crying continuing)
She's in there. Don't move.
ERIN: Danny!
Hands where I can see 'em.
Go ahead.
Open it.
Must have turned on with the lights.
I've been ahead of you the whole time.
Now get in.
You thought you were
smarter than me, Erin.
With your question
about the buses. Yeah.
I like buses. Where
else can you be so alone
in a place so public?
Now get in there.
Put it down.
Or I kill your brother.
Please don't hurt my family.
Gun.
- Did you hear him?
- I heard him.
He likes buses.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on. Hey, Capshaw, Flores,
right on time. Take him.
We're gonna go look for the girl.
- You got it, Danny.
- All right.
Let's go.
Lauren.
Lauren.
- Lauren!
- Lauren!
- Lauren.
- Lauren.
Lauren.
Lauren.
She's not here.
Lauren.
Lauren.
Lauren.
GIRL (in distance): Help me. Help!
Hey, Danny.
Help me, please.
I'm in here.
Lauren.
I'm in here. Help me.
Hi, Lauren. Hi.
- I'm here. Help me.
- Hi, I'm Erin.
Okay? You're safe now, all right?
Let me put this over you.
We're gonna get you back
to your parents, okay?
This is Detective Reagan.
Hey.
Are you injured?
No, just really scared.
ERIN: Okay. We got you.
You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be okay.
- I'll get help.
- ERIN: Okay.
All right.
Yes, S-I-L-V-E-R.
(doorbell rings) Please deliver
to Boston General Hospital.
Recovery ward, room 4010.
That'd be great. Okay.
Thank you.
Crispus.
You were always the only
person outside my family
who used my given name.
How you been, Mae?
We need to talk.
I suppose we do.
Did she find you?
You guys talked?
No, my office called and said
that a BPD detective named
Lena Silver came to see me.
I was in Boston on business, so
What have you told her?
- Nothing.
- Nothing?
So she thinks what
that I abandoned her?
No.
I told her about the arrest.
That you were in jail,
and that I never told
you that I was pregnant.
So that's what she thinks of me?
I guess it didn't suit your narrative
to tell her what happened next?
No, it didn't.
But if she knows that you've
become a police chief,
then she's figured out you've
turned your life around.
So why not tell her the rest
of the story, the whole truth?
Family is family, Mae,
whether you like it or not.
You don't know her like I do.
Whose fault is that?
It will kill her to know
that she has a sister
that she has never met.
It will change the way that
she thinks about herself,
how she thinks about me and
the choices I have made.
Feels like you don't get to
make those choices anymore.
Well, can't you please just wait?
Just wait.
This won't break her.
If she's the fierce, capable detective
that I've watched grow up from
a distance, she'll embrace
having more family, having more history.
It's time.
It's not Lena I'm afraid this will break.
It's you.
It's my relationship with my daughter.
My daughter.
(door opens)
Pete is in for a rude
awakening when he sobers up.
Oh, yeah. Well, listen,
I'm gonna head out.
Thank you for an eventful day.
And a sore back.
Hey, I didn't tell you to go
all Tom Cruise on that car.
I got a card around here somewhere.
You ever need anything,
- you give me a call.
- (laughs): Okay.
(phone vibrates) Oh, I got to
take this. Do you mind if I
Oh, yeah, please, please.
Yeah, I'll have that card
for you when you're done.
(laughs)
- Hey, how's Grandpa?
- SARAH: He's fine.
Did you meet your dad?
Uh, no, I didn't, actually.
You know I'm looking at
his office right now?
He's nothing like what Mom described.
I, uh
I'm actually grateful I didn't meet him.
I don't think I'm ready.
Really?
Yeah, I'm happy with the family I have.
We are pretty great.
Yeah, I don't know what
I came here looking for,
but I know how I feel now that I'm here.
- How?
- Like the family I have is all I need.
I'm headed home now.
Hopefully, I'll make it for Shabbat.
Uh, we're doing it at the hospital.
Grandpa had a complication.
What? You just said he was good.
He's fine.
They're just keeping him
overnight to be safe.
Okay, I'll be right there.
I'll, uh, tell Chief
Williams you stopped by.
You want to leave a number
where he can reach you or
No. No, I'll reach out to him
if I need any more help with that,
uh, that cold case.
Ah.
Yeah.
Hey, I want you to meet my wife.
She dropped by while
you were on the phone.
- Nice to meet you.
- With the hours he works,
I wouldn't see him unless
I come by the station.
Oh.
My husband or my dad.
Your dad?
Chief Williams.
Lena Silver, this is my wife, Christina.
(echoing): Uh, yes,
I married the boss' daughter.
She's also smarter than
I am by a long shot.
(clearly): I married up.
It's nice to meet you, Lena.
I got to go.
(chuckling)
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
It's nice to meet-meet you, too. Sorry.
(door opens)
She okay?
(door closes)
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
Oh, my
(crying)
SARAH: Erin, can't thank you enough.
Oh, well, thank you for trusting me.
And thank you, Danny,
for going along with it.
Aw, well, you know,
as much as it pains me to say it,
you were right.
- Oh, I'm sorry?
- You were right
about Nemes and him wanting control,
and that would lead us
back to Lauren, okay?
How did you know Erin was
gonna take that shot?
- "Please don't hurt my family."
- (sighs)
Our dad drilled that phrase
into us as kids, and his dad taught him,
so anytime we heard it,
we had to drop to the ground for cover.
Wow.
DANNY: Yeah, I might
live a few hundred miles
away from New York,
but the Reagan traditions
live on right here.
Oh.
ERIN: You have some guests.
- Oh.
- What in the world happened to you?
I took down my first bad guy.
- You should've seen it.
- Ah, let's go.
- Yeah.
- See you guys.
- Take it easy.
- Okay.
What'd the medic say?
Well, they sent us to the
hospital for some X-rays.
Got a little hairline fracture,
but nothing too bad.
What you did was so brave.
If you choose to,
you're gonna make a great cop.
It felt really good
proving that I belong.
Especially to Cisco.
Well, get used to it.
Got to prove yourself
every day in this job.
- I can handle it.
- Yes, you can.
Hey, kiddo, why don't you wait outside
for us for a minute, and then
we'll, uh, we'll head to Shabbat.
We got a problem.
The hospital called Julie.
Phoebe's mom?
Is she pissed?
Yeah, I'd say so.
She's suing me for custody.
She wants to take Phoebe
to Japan with her.
What?
With Phoebe getting hurt
by a fleeing criminal,
- it's too much.
- Seth, I am so sorry.
Well, it's not your fault.
What are we gonna do?
I'm gonna fight for my daughter.

So, that conversation we had
in the car before with Nemes,
about me leaving New York
- you were just humoring him, right?
- Yeah.
I mean, you weren't really
disappointed in me, were you?
No, of course. I mean
- Yeah.
- You mean what?
No, but, you know
No, I don't know. You mean what?
No, I Danny, I'm just saying,
everyone is gonna be thrilled that
you're coming home for dinner
- for at least one Sunday.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm just disappointed
that Sean couldn't come.
Well, Sean's got to work.
Yeah, like father, like son.
Mm-hmm.
So you were disappointed.
- Danny
- No, seriously, were you?
