DANNY:
What a game. What a game!

-Calm down, Dad.
-Not gonna calm down.

-I have reasons
to celebrate, okay?
-Yeah?

It's your first day on the job
and a Mets win

-over the stinkin' Red Sox.
-[people booing]
-MAN: Shut up!

My first day is tomorrow,
and I'd like to live to see it,

-so...
-DANNY: You'll be fine, Sean.

And not for nothing, you were
in a coma three weeks ago.

Forgive me for being excited

that you're gonna follow
in the family footsteps, okay?

-Not nervous, are you?
-No.

I can stay a few more days,

-keep an eye on you.
-I'm fine, Dad. I... [chuckles]

-I'm serious. All right.
-I'm good. I'm more than fine.

Any fear, any hesitation...

-Compartmentalize? I know.
-That's right.

I'm taking those feelings,
putting them right here

-in my pocket,
just like you taught me.
-All right.

-I'm ready.
-All right.

Then I hope Jonah's ready
to keep up with you.

How's that for fresh paint?

You nervous about tomorrow,
shooting like that?

You know, one of them's
out of center mass.

-Show-off.
-That's right.

Lena, just give me
the big sister advice

that you came here
to give me, please.

What happened to your
childhood best friend Sheila?

We stopped hanging out
after junior high.

Yeah. Why?

Because we kissed,
and it got awkward,

but you don't have to worry,
because me and Sean

-don't plan on kissing.
-Well, you're not gonna need to,

'cause you've already changed
the nature of your relationship.

It's the same as Sheila.

I don't want you stuck
in the sidekick zone.

-He's my best friend.
-DANNY: No, no, no, no, no.

Tomorrow, friendship goes
out the window.

Okay? It's all about
partnership tomorrow.

-Mm-hmm.
-No more friendship.

That's a whole different ship.

LENA:
Every partnership has a hero
and a sidekick.

And you, Jonah Silver,
are the hero.

You are Sherlock.

What?

You know Sherlock and Watson?

-Yeah.
-Tomorrow's gonna set the tone
for your partnership,

so you got to show Sean
who's boss,

or you'll be Watson forever.

-You got to be Batman,
not Robin.
-Mm-hmm.

Establish yourself
right out of the gate

so nobody thinks
that you're getting a free pass

just 'cause you're a Reagan.

This isn't New York.

I'm the only Reagan
in Boston PD.

That's true. You are
the only Reagan in Boston.

Plus, Jonah's got way more
to worry about.

Both his sisters are cops,
his mom's the D.A.,

-his dad was a judge.
-Right.

So, tomorrow, you got to
make sure that you drive,

-that you pick the music...
-JONAH: Wow.

You have some serious
partnership baggage, huh?

And make sure you pick lunch,
'cause otherwise,

you're gonna be hearing Sean
talk about

how the food is better
in New York.

Trust me, I've been there
with new partners.

You got to drive,
you got to pick the music,

and you got to pick
where you get lunch.

Sean and I have been
best friends since the academy.

We are gonna be fine.

All right, that's enough
pointers out of you.

-All right.
-Let's just enjoy

your last day here and then
get you back to New York.

Trying to get rid of me
already, huh?

No, it's actually been nice
having you around, you know?

All the doctor's appointments
and rehab.

Thank you.

It's been good for me, too, kid.

[gunshots in distance]

-[people screaming]
-Get out of the way.

Police! Move!

NYPD! Move it!

Move out of the way!

Step back! Back up!

-Get a bus.
-Huh?

I said call it in, Sean.

Come on!

Yeah, this is
Officer Sean Reagan.

Shots fired outside of Fenway.

Appears to only be one victim.
We're gonna need EMS.

Hey, guys, get back!
Go. Come on.

This is an active crime scene,
okay? Get back!

Dad, what the hell's going on?

I don't know.

[indistinct

Trouble follows you, huh?

-Only in Boston.
-[laughs]

-Thank you for calling.
-Yeah.

-Is Sean okay?
-He's good. He gave a statement

and went home to rest
for tomorrow.

I was first on the scene.

That why you call?
So we could work it together?

Technically,
I am still on loan to BPD,

and you seem to still be
riding solo.

Sure you won't get distracted?
Sean and Jonah's first tour?

-Ah.
-Know you were helping Sean
through rehab for a whole month,

-so you got to be nervous
for him.
-Yeah, I'm good.

I can put that aside.

I know how to compartmentalize.

Well, all right, Brooklyn.
What do we got?

One vic.
Male, white, middle-aged.

Single gunshot wound
to the back.

Gagged, bound. In silk pajamas.

-LENA: Someone roughed him up
pretty good.
-Yeah, they did.

CSRUs are scrubbing
for shell casings.

We got a witness, too.

Excuse me, sir.

Detective Reagan,
Detective Silver.

Can you tell her what you saw?

He jumped out of a blue van,
ran to the park.

I heard shots go off,
and he just dropped.

A-And then the van took off
around that corner.

Did you get the plates?

Make or model?

No.

All right, thank you.

[siren wailing]

We need that footage.

Fenway is surrounded
by security cameras.

Yeah. What's your mom
doing here?

What is the district attorney
doing at our crime scene?

Hey, Mom, what's going on?

-You're working this case?
-Yeah.

Killer shot into a crowd
where me and my son were walking

and killed this guy.

I assume you haven't I.D.'d
the victim yet,

otherwise there'd be
cameras here by now.

-Why? Who is he?
-Winston Ballard.

He walked away from a fortune
to move forward

as a whistleblower in my case
against Lou Malakov.

Ponzi scheme guy.
That's a huge case.

Yeah. Winston's testimony
would've been a sure conviction.

It would've brought justice
to a hundred families

that Malakov stole from.

Any idea what he's doing
around Fenway?

MAE:
That's what I was gonna ask you.

Stick around, work with Lena,
find out who did this.

Ready to run it back, Brooklyn?

Try and stop me, Beantown.

♪

KARIM:
Attention.

Officer Reagan, Officer Silver,
welcome to the rank and file.

They say the police
belong to the people

and the people belong
to the police, but above all,

you're partners,
you belong to each other.

Look out for each other.

Something happens to one of you,

it's the other
that's got to tell the family.

Get your patrol assignments
at the desk,

come back in one piece.

Dismissed.

JONAH: Bruh, it's been
a rough three weeks.

Good to have you back.

-Uh...
-Oh.

I'm sorry.

You, uh, you nervous
about today?

I was just thinking about
the guy

that got killed at Fenway.

Kept me up last night, you know?

My dad and I were
standing right there.

It was crazy.

Hey, we've been working
towards this since the academy.

All right? It's gonna be great.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Okay?

Yeah.

MAE: Can you tell us
what happened, Mrs. Ballard?

They crashed into the apartment,
tied Winston's hands.

They were white.
I could see through

the-the holes in the mask.

You say "they." Are you saying
there was more than one?

No, I-I couldn't tell whether
it was a-a man or a woman.

They didn't talk.

They just started
hitting Winston with a gun.

I was so scared.

And then they took him.

They pushed him into a blue van.

Can you think of anything else?

[whispers]:
No.

MAE:
Mrs. Ballard, I...

You were supposed
to protect us.

There were supposed to be cops
watching our house.

I am truly sorry
for what happened.

Winston blew the whistle
on Lou Malakov's Ponzi scheme

because he wanted
to do the right thing.

But I begged him
not to come forward.

Detectives Silver and Reagan
are outstanding investigators,

with the full resources of
the Major Case Unit behind them.

We will get justice
for your husband.

Call me
if you remember anything.

NAOMI:
Thank you.

She's right.

I rarely get involved
with these cases.

25,000 cases flow
through this office every year.

I have 160 prosecutors,
but her husband took a big risk,

so it inspired me
to make personal assurances

I shouldn't have made.

I failed that woman.

Help me make this right.
Tell me you got a lead.

We got the security footage
on the blue van,

but there's no plates.

Couldn't even tell
make or model.

It's just a dead end.

I'm sorry.

Unless, of course,
we could speak to Malakov.

He's so cocky,
maybe he'd slip up

and say something he shouldn't.

It's the only lead you have
for the moment?

With your blessing, it is.

He's on bail at his house
in Lexington.

Maybe we should pay him a visit.

Yeah.

MAE:
Be safe.

[busy chatter]

[knocks]

-Hmm?
-KEITH: Superintendent Silver?

-This is, uh...
-I know Officer Min
quite well already.

Have a seat, Sylvia. Thank you.

Yes, ma'am. It's been a while.

You were protection detail
on a whistleblower

and left your post.

And he ended up shot
outside Fenway.

Help me understand.

I will accept
whatever punishment you see fit,

but if you're gonna ask
for my badge,

I respectfully request
a union rep.

I need to maximize my pension.

It's just me and the kids now.

I was sorry to hear about
Frank's accident.

Let's start with what happened,

and we'll sort out
the repercussions from there.

It was shift change,

and I got a call
from June's school.

She fell off the monkey bars
and was being taken to the E.R.

Raines was supposed
to relieve me, but he was late.

He said he was close,
just around the corner.

-So I left.
-June okay?

Fractured her wrist.

But you know protocol is not to
leave your post until relieved.

I messed up.

A man is dead,
and I'll never forget that.

I just didn't know what to do.

June needed me.

You're on a desk
until I finish investigating

and make my recommendations.

[sighs]

EDWIN:
Heavenly Father,

I thank you for this food
to nourish my body

so that I may do your will...

...and especially doughnuts.

SARAH:
Grandpa.

Sneaking doughnuts?

-Sarah.
-Really?

[chuckles]
What are you doing here?

Well, I came to see you.

Was told you were taking a walk.

Oh, Sister Lyn
must have been mistaken.

I said I was taking some air.

-The rest is not her business.
-Mm. Mm-hmm.

You hear about that murder
at Fenway yesterday?

Yeah, it's been
all over the news.

Poor guy stepped up
to do the right thing

and got killed for his efforts.

That's why I'm here.

Couple of my cops
were supposed to be watching

the whistleblower.

They dropped the ball,
now the whistleblower's dead,

and Mom's case is imploding.

One of the cops who dropped
the ball is a friend.

Sylvia Min.

Sylvia. I remember her.

You brought her to dinner
a few times.

We rode together for a while
when I was on patrol.

Her husband died recently.

You have friends
on the POST Commission, right?

[laughs softly]

If you are here
to ask me to intervene

on your friend's behalf...

I talked to Sylvia,
I heard her side.

I'm gonna talk
to the other cop soon.

Between the two of them,

they left a witness unprotected
and he was killed.

-I assume they'll be punished.
-But how severely

will come down
to my recommendation.

I see.

And the review board
can either mitigate

or amplify the punishment, so...
[sighs]

you want me
to put in a good word.

Your voice carries weight.

Exactly why I stay
out of these matters

-when family's involved.
-[sighs]

Please.

Consider putting in
a good word for Sylvia.

She is a good cop.

She just made a mistake.

That's it. Thank you.

-Love you, Grandpa.

What the hell, man?
Why didn't you wait for me

All right. Talk soon.

Sean and Jonah's first callout
didn't go great.

-They okay?
-Yeah, they're fine,

-but their perp got away.
-Huh.

bad things from happening.

I know that.
I just find it ironic

distracted by their first tour.

Well, we found our blue van.
Shooter peeled away in it.

his known enemies,

-Lowder Brook Assisted Living.

Except that I am sorry.

My name is Naomi Ballard.

Yesterday, an intruder
entered my home

and violently abducted...

Noah, we need to file
a continuance

while we rebuild the case.

Malakov's dead.
Isn't that the whole ball game?

Naomi Ballard is making
the press rounds,

calling for an end
to the Malakov case

now that Lou's dead.

Poor woman,
she just wants her life back.

I can't say I blame her.

So end it.

And if we don't continue,
the victimized families

can't sue for damages,
but that's only if we win.

If we continue this trial,
we risk losing public support.

MAE:
That's right, Charlie.

And losing the battle
of public opinion

makes the public safety fight
even harder.

Right. Okay.

MAE:
Thanks, fellas.

-Hey, Dad. You good?
-Hey.

-Yeah.
-What's going on?

Well... [sighs]

I have a legal question for you.

-Okay.
-Say I made

a few calls on behalf of a cop

standing before
the Commission of Peace Officer

-Standards and Training.
-You've done that before.

Mm-hmm. But...

what if I did it at the behest
of another officer?

Well, it's not illegal,

but it's just not a good look
for a police off-- wait.

Which officer is it?

Sarah.

It turns out, one of
the officers who was supposed

to be watching your
whistleblower was Sylvia Min.

Her first partner.

-Oh, I didn't know that.
-Yeah.

Sarah came to me this morning.

Now, if I use my influence
to help Sylvia,

is Sarah in the clear?

Legally.

But it sets a bad precedent.

Sarah doesn't want to

discipline her friend,
so she put you in a bad spot.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

MAE:
Hmm.

Remember when Sarah was 15
and she wanted

-to run for student council...
-[laughs]

...but she was afraid
a sophomore couldn't win?

And I spent weeks
helping with her campaign.

Even drafted Lena
into mock debates.

-Mm-hmm.
-It was early
in you and Ben's marriage.

You know, I'm convinced
it was that election

that turned you four
into a family.

You made those girls fierce.

And Sarah won.

Do you remember
what you said to me?

I said you were raising
little Amazon warriors.

I'm just reminding you
who we are.

Are you saying
I shouldn't help Sarah?

That's up to you, Dad.
I'm just saying that

I raised a warrior...

We don't really talk like that.

You're best friends

-We never had to before.

You weren't partners before.

Okay? If you can do that,

when Malakov said, "Win,"

he was actually trying

Win. Winnie. His ex-wife
who runs this charity.

Maybe your mom's case

into her own hands.

Yeah, but why would she use
her own vans?

Can we have a moment?

Maybe you want

I suppose this is about
my ex-husband's murder.

You don't seem
too upset about it.

Lou was an awful husband
and an even worse human being,

but I never wished him
any physical harm.

Despite all that,
I was still shocked

when I heard he turned
our company into a Ponzi scheme.

And did his turning your company
into a Ponzi scheme

upset you enough
to maybe have him killed?

I may have hated Lou
for what he did,

but I cashed out
before the company went Ponzi,

and I have done quite well
with my spoils.

Do you know of anyone
that would wish him harm?

[laughs] He made enemies
of everyone he ever met.

Yeah, but it was a van
from your company that was used

as a getaway vehicle
in two homicides.

The van I reported stolen.

Was it stolen from here?

WINNIE:
Exactly.

One second.

Uh, a week ago.

The day after?
And you didn't tell the cops

when you reported
the van stolen?

They didn't ask.

Used to bring homemade kimchi
in the radio car.

He never brought me any,
of course.

-[laughs]: Oh.
-Mm.

DANNY:
Then he left it under the seat,

and the whole car smelled
like rotten cabbage

for the next month,

and they started calling us
"car-chi" over the radio.

-[laughter]
-SARAH: Oh, so bad.

-So bad.
-Yeah. They said worse, too,

but I won't repeat it.
I'm-I'm a guest here.

-LENA: We're eating here,
you know.
-[laughter]

You know, my first partner--
remember Andy?

Oh, Andy.

He was in an a cappella group
in high school.

-[chuckles]: Oh.
-DANNY: Oh, no.

He would "sha-bop, sha-bop"
on the radio.

-[laughter]
-"Sha-bop..."
-In the car?

He would sing the codes

-in the car.
-That feels dangerous.

-It-it-it was.
-[laughter]

Speaking of partners, Sarah,
I heard about Sylvia.

What exactly did you hear?

I heard that she was
the police officer

who left her post
when Winston Ballard was killed.

And I also heard that you asked
your grandpa to put in a word

-at the POST Commission.
-Grandpa.

You told on me?

You interrupted
my doughnut time.

Sylvia is a good cop.

And because of one mistake,

I'm gonna have to
take her badge.

If I don't, I'll get accused
of playing favorites.

And if you do, she won't be able
to feed her kids.

Those are the decisions we make.

SARAH:
I was hoping Grandpa
putting in a good word

with the civilian review board
would soften the blow.

I don't know. Maybe make her
eligible for reinstatement.

What about the other cop,
the one who was late?

You want to put in a good word
for him, too?

He was late
visiting his sick mom,

but didn't actually
break protocol.

He'll be suspended without pay.

It just... I don't know.

It feels like my cops
are handling too much.

They're overworked on the job
and overstressed at home.

Cops like Sylvia need help,
not punishment.

EDWIN:
You know I can't do it, right?

I can't call POST for you.

I thought about it,
and it may help Sylvia,

but it'll hurt you
in the long run.

Exactly. You are their boss,
Sarah. You're not their friend.

And no matter how close
you and Sylvia used to be,

-it doesn't give her
a free pass.
-SARAH: Yeah, but

how do I rule on high
while still having their six?

Got to do both.

My father took
a similar career path as you.

He had a very difficult time
going from rank and file

to boss, but he knew
there was nobody better

to be sitting in that chair
than him.

LENA:
And, Sarah, the fact

that you're trying
to have their back at all,

it matters.

♪

This is dumb.

We've been here for an hour.
He's not gonna show.

It's not dumb.

We cross-referenced
the pattern of packies

that he hits
with the time of day.

He bounces back and forth from
Dorchester to Jamaica Plain,

and he hits
when the till is full,

right before the safe drops,
like right now,

after the morning rush.

If we're right,
then this one is next.

Yeah, and if
Sergeant Karim finds out

we've been sitting in one spot
instead of patrolling...

I'm just saying,
this better work.

I kissed Sheila Jones,
and it made things weird.

You're making things weird
right now.

What I'm saying is that
me and Sheila Jones

were friends,
and then we kissed,

and then we weren't
friends anymore.

Are you saying you don't want
to be friends anymore?

No, that's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is...

That's-that's him right there.
Green hoodie.

-You can't even see his face.
-Yeah, but I can see his shoes.

Those are crisp white shell-toes
with green laces.

You've been trying to get me
to appreciate kicks for months.

Surprised you didn't
notice that.

I'm surprised
you were paying attention.

Think we'll get accused
of "lacial" profiling?

Okay, we're gonna talk
about that joke later,

but, dude,
you are my best friend.

Promise me that being my partner
will not change that.

Like kissing
Sheila Jones did? No.

-Exactly. Okay.
-We're good.

Let's do it.

SEAN:
101 to dispatch, take us off

at 2022 Brainard Avenue
with an armed robbery suspect.

-Radio when I'm there.
You'll wait for me this time?
-I got you.

-Open the safe.
-[gasps]

Boston police!
Get on the ground!

Sean, he's headed out back
and he's armed.

Boston PD! You're under arrest!

[robber groaning]

[chuckles]:
Damn. You trucked that guy.

Well, 'cause I knew exactly
when he was coming.

Here, help me out.
Way to communicate.

[robber grunting]

Whew.

Maybe I should call
Sheila Jones.

Don't play with me.
Don't play with me.

♪ When the squad pull up,
trying to act tough♪

♪ Probably get you wrapped up,
see you trying to catch up...♪

SARAH:
Hey, sis.
What is it that couldn't wait?

Fenway homicide.

So, a print from the Fresh-Cue
charity matched a Harold Baca.

Danny's running ballistics
on his registered gun,

but I need you to look
at his priors.

SARAH:
This is the shooter
in the Lou Malakov murder?

Yes, but look
at that assault charge.

That should've put him away,

but an officer signed
a voided arrest, cut him loose.

SARAH: Officer Todd Raines?
He's the officer

who was late the day
the whistleblower was killed.

Yes, so my murder suspect
has a connection

to one of your cops
that dropped the ball

on the protection detail.

This changes things.
Thank you for finding it.

Danny found it, actually.

Oh, look at you,

-dishing out credit.
-[laughs]

Things that good?

You know, we've stepped
on each other's toes

'cause he's stubborn
and he's set in his ways,

which would be a problem
if he wasn't right so often.

For what it's worth, I think
you complement each other well.

Well, too bad he's leaving.

-I have an ass to kick.
-[chuckles]

-I'll let you know if I hear
anything on your guy.
-All right.

Where's your union rep,
Officer Raines?

Didn't think I'd need one.

What I found out is true, you're
gonna need a lawyer as well.

I pulled your car's GPS
from the day of the murder.

Turns out, it was disabled
start of tour that day.

Well, it happens sometimes.

So, I pulled your bodycam data.

Some of the new models
have some perks

like live locations
and streaming,

so even if you don't
turn your camera on,

it's still pinging a location.

You were nowhere near your post
when you called

to relieve Officer Min that day.

You were at your mom's
care facility.

So, I called, and I learned

that you were there paying off
a huge delinquent bill.

In cash.

They were going to evict her.

Did Harold Baca pay you
to abandon your post?

Where is he now?

Where is he?

LENA:
Harold Baca, BPD with a warrant!

-DANNY: Got it?
-LENA: Got it.

Clear.

Clear.

Over here.

Check this out.

DANNY:
Winston Ballard and Malakov

were both taken out
by a Desert Eagle 50.

Looks like Baca
was just cleaning one

and loaded up for some more
happy hunting.

-Our investment theory
was right.
-Wait.

Baca's life savings was caught
up in Malakov's Ponzi scheme.

He was a client for years.

Take a look
at his account advisor.

DANNY:
Winston Ballard.

LENA:
Our dead guy from Fenway.

DANNY:
So, that means Ballard
and Malakov were responsible

for Baca losing everything.
There's our motive.

-And Winston blowing the whistle
was just too little, too late.
-[phone vibrating]

-Let's hope we're not too late.
-Detective Silver.

Hey, the trace
on Baca's burner is live.

It looks like
he's headed back to Fresh-Cue,

-Winnie Malakov's charity.
-LENA: Baca's files

predate Winnie's divorce.

She's still listed as a partner

in the investment firm.
He's got to blame her, too.

But that's not the half of it.

I got a bogus suicide note here,

allegedly written by Winnie,

claiming she killed
Winston and Lou

because she hated
what they turned

her company into.

It's marked up
like it's a first draft.

Baca must've wrote it.

SARAH:
So Baca stole

a company van
and then faked a suicide note

to pin the murders
on Winnie Malakov?

So the only thing left
is to kill his patsy.

Winnie.

-She's next.
-Yeah.

I'll get marked units
out there right now.

Okay, but no lights or sirens

so Baca doesn't start shooting.

♪

DANNY:
Winnie Malakov!

WINNIE:
Help!

LENA:
She must be
in the back warehouse.

Hey. Police. Get out of here.

-Go. You, too.
-[woman gasps]

-DANNY: Hey! Get out of here!
-LENA: Out! Out!

Too much ground to cover.
We need to split up.

-Going right.
-Going left.

[panting]

Help! [grunts]

-[gunfire]
-LENA: Drop your weapon!

Harold Baca, drop your weapon!

[whimpers]

[grunts]

I owe you one.

LENA:
I know how you feel
about this case.

Didn't want you
to have to shoot him.

-You hear that?
-[Baca groaning]

She's a lot nicer than me.

Maybe I should just
let you bleed out, huh?

Like the other two guys
you killed this week.

We know you have a partner.

DANNY:
You lost
your life savings, Baca.

How'd you pay a cop
to look the other way?

So, you need to give us a name
before we find one.

Maybe the D.A. goes easy on you.

And believe me, she's in a mood.

Who are you working with?

MAE:
Thank you, Officer.

So, did you find out
who did this?

Thanks for coming in,
Mrs. Ballard.

Your husband really loved you,
you know.

He even moved some money
into a hidden account

so you'd be protected after he
blew the whistle on the scheme.

And I missed something
my first time through the files,

but, um,

he used your maiden name:

Baca.

SARAH:
Your brother Harold was busy.

You know, it's been bugging me
that the killer

knew precisely what time
my people would make a mistake.

When I realized
you were siblings,

I pulled your phone records.

You called Harold
just a few minutes before

your husband was killed.

You were working with him
all along.

You're under arrest
for accessory to murder.

Put your hands behind your back.

[sighs]

Why'd you kill your husband?

Were you afraid of losing

this lavish lifestyle
that you've lived?

I hated Winston
for giving it all up.

Stealing those people's money
was bad,

but no one would've ever known

if he had just
kept his mouth shut.

If the husband you hated
didn't try to take care of you

in the end, you would've
gotten away with it.

Ain't love grand.

-[chuckling]
-[indistinct chatter]

Dude, we have to talk
about these dad jokes.

And the fact that you love them?

-They're corny.
-You love them.

-I've said ten times they're
corny and I do not like them.
-I will not take...

-[cheers and applause]
-MAN: There they are!
There they are!

[excited chatter]

[chuckles]

Boys, good collar.

-Good collar.
-Thanks, man.

I mean, my dad and Lena
are wrong, all right?

Screw Watson and Robin.

We're equals,
like Starsky and Hutch.

-How old are you?
-[both chuckle]

I'm getting hungry.

-Yeah?
-Should we do some lunch?

What do you think? Pizza?

We driving to Brooklyn?

-Huh?
-[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

Right on time.

Your office signed the warrant.

I arrested Officer Raines.

Sylvia's on her way up.

Naomi Ballard cut a deal.

She'll corroborate
the Ponzi scheme books,

and I just convinced the judge
to let me try

Lou Malakov posthumously,

even though my approval numbers
will nose-dive.

You're after justice, not votes.

Yeah, you know, I just
reminded Charlie of that.

-He didn't like it.
He's pretty pissed.
-Yeah.

[both laugh]

Ms. District Attorney.
I didn't realize you'd...

My union rep is outside.

I was told you wanted
to talk privately first.

Have a seat.

I'm gonna ask for your badge.

I understand.

We're talking now
because I want you to know

I will always have your back.

If you resign and avoid
an OPAT investigation,

there's a job waiting for you

at the D.A.'s office
as an investigator.

What? But I'm just patrol.

Oh, we both know you should've
made detective years ago,

but you were busy
with your family.

I could use
another good investigator.

The pay and benefits
are similar to BPD.

Hours are flexible.

SARAH:
You made an honest mistake,
Sylvia.

Shouldn't cost you everything.

But the rules are what they are,

and it is my job
to enforce them.

So, what do you say?

Want to go work for the D.A.?

Yes, ma'am.

Then call your rep in here
and let's get you fired.

[chuckles]:
Yes, ma'am.

-[announcer speaking
indistinctly]

You know, I've been thinking
about what you said.

You know, about finally starting
to feel like a Reagan.

Well, what about it?

Being a Reagan means
you'll always have someone

in the department
who has your back.

But you don't.

It's like you said,

you're the only Reagan
in Boston,

but you don't have to be.

What are you saying?

[sighs] I'm trying to say that

we haven't been as close as
we should be the last few years,

and maybe we can work on that,

and I can have your back
at the same time.

I'm saying maybe
I could transfer to BPD, son.

[chuckles] Right.

Wait. What-what about
the-the family?

New York? Maria?

Maria and I will figure it out.

And the family understands.

-You talked to them about it?
-I did.

They agree with me.

So, you're kind of

But only if you want to be.

I'd like that.

Yeah.

All right.

-Oh, here comes trouble.
