I got sisters, man. It's a thing.

It's just dinner.

No, it's not just dinner. It's Shabbat. It's the circle of trust, okay?

Next thing you know, you guys are having sleepovers. Your toothbrushes are

getting nice and cozy next to each other. Then half your closet's gone, and

boom, you and Penny are standing at the altar, and I'm handing you the rings.

You jump over my brother Jack in this hypothetical as best man?

Well, I could be ring bearer. That's your choice.

There's your boy on his bench.

Maybe today will be the day he accepts treatment.

I'll keep wrapping it with those sandwiches from La Grassa. It's working.

Hey, Dermot.

Wake up, man. Rise and shine. You know the drill. You got to move on.

Come on, man. I got you a sandwich.

Dermot.

I

told

him Jake 101 is central. We got a DOA.

Sudden death south end of the public urn.

I'm just saying, guys are a funny species, you know? Sometimes we have to

leave in order to find our way back home. It's not that simple, Danny.

He left from D.C., but I basically told Brian to go. Well, you both experienced

trauma. And after nothing, you dealt with yours pretty well. He's still

running from this. But if you and Rogers love each other, I know you will find

your way back to each other. Give me a second.

Hey, boss.

Feet off the desk and put your shoes on.

It's not your living room.

Yes, sir, Sergeant Detective.

Sir.

It's 8.15 a.m. You clocked in at 0600. Tell me three things case-related you've

done so far today.

I'll settle for two.

How about one?

You have six open cases. What if one of the Vicks in those cases was your mom or

your sister? How do you think they'd feel about a detective sitting around

looking at TikTok videos all day? I get it.

You made your point.

Did I?

I know. No, he was wrong.

But? But praise in public, criticize in private.

That's right.

I have been known to lose my temper on occasion.

I'll fix it. Well, maybe cool off a little bit before you go back in there.

Yeah.

Can't believe Dermot's dead.

Sorry, man. You tried.

Whatever panties in it's gone, man.

If it's gonna be like this, maybe I should just stop trying.

Officers, one of those men in the green caps has a gun.

I saw it.

I've got shots fired.

You still

upset

about what happened in the squad room? Maybe.

Sullivan was working the Lee case around the clock last night. He was running on

fumes. But tired or not, there's no excuse to disrespect the squadron. He's

got his feet up on the desk, no shoes on. Then a boss walks in and he keeps

them there. He deserves to be written up for getting in your face like that, too.

Yeah, that's not the Marines.

Shouldn't have gotten his face either.

But I also can't let it stand.

But I encourage you to channel Reagan royalty.

You know, what would Frank do?

What would Grandpa Reagan do in this situation? What would Frank Reagan do?

That is a question.

Detective Silver.

Shots fired at Park Street Station.

We gotta go. Let's go.

Hey, boss.

Talk to me. What do we know?

Jonah and Sean called it in.

Jonah.

You okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

There were two shooters, two civilians shot, one critical.

One of the shooters was Jason McGee.

Off-duty cop.

What?

Great.

We still don't know what happened.

Sean, you okay?

Yeah, but Dad, that guy's got two holes in his back.

I think he got shot after he fell.

Where's the shooter?

Black victim, this looks really bad.

Bad just got a whole lot worse.

He's a cop, too.

Sir, sir.

Yeah, Carson Wiley, new at the Boston Dispatch. Chief Flanagan, is there an

update on Detective Baker's condition?

He's in surgery, fighting for his life.

He's a tough man, if anyone can pull through it.

He can't. Chief. Sir, Officer McGee fired five rounds in a crowded subway.

Were his actions lawful? Or even in line with the department's use of force

policy? No comment. Chief. Chief. Yeah.

I covered a story about a year ago about an Officer McGee and his wife who were

robbed at gunpoint by three black men in the same station, the same train.

Could this shooting of Baker have been some sort of revenge for that past

attack? There are rumors that Baker was shot in the back.

Let me tell you something about Officer McGee.

Let me take it from here.

This is an ongoing investigation.

When we know more, you will know more.

Until then, report the facts, not rumors or speculation.

Tell the story, not just a story.

The people of Boston deserve that. Thank you.

Yes,

Chief.

I understand.

I will.

My phone has not stopped.

Chief Flanagan's on the warpath. We need answers.

Well, there were two shootings down here. Let's talk about the first one.

Sean and Joan approached two gunmen upstairs. They apprehended the first

one. The second fled down these stairs into this doorway where he tried to dump

his shotgun between the train and the platform.

He missed.

And that shotgun hits the platform in discharges, firing at a woman, hits her

leg here.

At this point, the second gunman is in the wind.

Now, there are five cameras in this station. That one there, which would

have seen everything, and one other were vandalized. Out of service. Now, let's

talk to the second shooting, the officer in Baldwin.

Officer McGee just finished a midnight tour. He was off duty, sitting on a

train over here.

He's got his face buried in his phone.

He hears a gunshot blast. He looks up.

He sees an injured woman, sees the shotgun, pulls out his gun, steps into

the doorway here with his badge out.

Now, on duty, DCU undercover detective Tremaine Baker

is right here waiting for the train.

Now, he hears the blast.

He pulls his gun, starts running toward it.

Obviously, people are screaming.

It's chaos.

Everybody's running for their lives.

Officer McGee sees Officer Baker approaching.

He's got a gun in his hand, but he has no color of the day headband, nothing to

indicate he's a cop.

McGee fires. He hits Baker with the first shot. Baker stumbles, standing

right there where Lena is. But now Baker keeps coming, and McGee keeps firing.

Four more rounds.

Baker ends up right here, face down. So Baker sees McGee's badge and thinks he

can't be shooting at me, he's a cop. Right, but McGee doesn't see any badge

on Baker, so assumes he's a perp. And both thoughts make sense, but we don't

know. We have not one single eyewitness who saw what happened after McGee's

first shot. The only thing we do know is those four additional shots fired by

McGee were at close range.

So it's possible two of them were through and through.

Which would explain the gunshot wounds in Baker's back.

Or... Or he shot him in the back while he was lying down.

Now we won't know until Baker is out of surgery.

Danny, put together a task force.

Bring in Sean and Jonah. They may have seen more than they remember.

Have them do the video grunt work. It might shake something loose.

All right. We need answers before the media turns this into a racial

firestorm.

There were no prints of value on the shotgun, so what were our perps, Simon

Anthony and the guy with the shotgun, doing with those guns?

Anthony lawyered up and isn't talking, and shotgun guy's nowhere in these

videos. But he didn't just disappear.

I'm thinking he dipped into the tunnel and then just ran to the next station.

Penny,

what the hell?

Hey. I've been blowing up your phone all morning. Why didn't you answer? I've

just been caught up in a lot of stuff going on. The news said a cop was shot

and they weren't giving names, and I just, I knew you were working the cops.

When you weren't answering your phone.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You can't do that to me, Sean.

I know.

Look, I hate this, but I gotta get back to work right now. There's so much to

do.

We'll talk more about this at Shabbat, okay?

Yeah. Hey. It's fine. Hey.

I'm safe.

Everything's okay.

I promise.

You gonna be okay? Yeah.

You gotta work.

Go. I'm sorry.

Bro, you gotta start answering your phone. I know.

I feel awful. She's really shaken up. Yeah, she doesn't come from a police

family like us.

This is all new to her. It can be scary.

Hey, come check this out.

What am I looking at?

That kid was right here.

He had a perfect view of the whole shooting.

And look at this.

Muzzle flashes.

He saw every shot.

Right now, he's our best witness.

Now all we gotta do is find him.

What happened out there, Mike?

It's not like you let the press get under your skin.

It didn't.

I'm pretty sure McGee shot Baker in the back.

Okay, it's way too early to say that. We don't know what happened.

You don't know McGee like I do.

He's everything Baker isn't.

Angry, cynical, no discipline.

But every incident has its own set of facts.

The most important thing is what happened in that station.

White cop with a chip on his shoulder shoots a decorated black cop in the

back. Only a matter of time before the protests start.

That may be.

But I make my judgments based on evidence, not on media narratives, not

on politics.

Be wise for you to do the same.

We'll see.

I offered to take McGee to meet Baker's family, but he's not ready yet. What do

you make of Officer McGee? I know you've been praying with him. What kind of guy

is he?

It's hard to tell. The incident on the train last year put him in a dark place.

He started drinking, his wife left him, but it pushed him into the arms of God.

He was on a new path.

He got sober, started going to church, letting go of that anger that he's

carried most of his career.

He's fragile right now. Well, I'm glad you're here. Both of these families are

going to need all the prayers they can get. Amen.

So McGee isn't talking.

He doesn't trust anybody right now.

He doesn't trust me, which makes me not want to trust him. Well, I'm sure McGee

feels like the loneliest person on the planet. Well, an officer is fighting for

his life right now. We got to get the truth.

Yeah.

I have an idea, but I need you.

Okay.

Thanks, ref.

Officer McGee, this is Sergeant Detective Reagan. Look, I shot a cop.

I'm done. My career is over. What good could possibly come from talking to you?

Hear me out.

Department rules actually compel you to answer questions from a supervisor in

regard to your duties and the threat of suspension or termination.

Which means that anything you say to me about the shooting cannot be used

against you in a criminal case.

Understand?

Okay, look.

The Reverend was telling me about your spiritual journey.

I had a situation in my career where I had to lean on my faith, too.

So I know what you're going through.

How could you possibly know what I'm going through? Because I shot an

undercover cop, too.

Look, it was back in New York.

Different circumstances. I wasn't facing what you're facing, but I was a hothead

cop.

And it seemed like the whole world was against me.

But we're not here to hurt you.

We are here to get to the truth.

And the only way we can do that is if you trust us.

McGee, for you, for Baker, you gotta tell us what happened.

I was sitting on the train.

I'm sorry, Carson. I don't have an update if that's what you're looking

for. It's not.

My source at Boston General tells me the size and shape of the wounds in Baker's

back and chest are consistent with Baker having been shot in the back. Doctors

had to split open Baker's chest to operate.

That alone could change the size, shape, and appearance of his chest wounds,

making it impossible to determine entrance or exit wounds.

You need to kill that story, Carson.

People were running, screaming.

Baker was coming at me with a gun. I had no idea he was a cop. What was I

supposed to do? Did you identify yourself?

My badge was already showing.

I just kept firing until he went down.

I don't remember how many shots I fired. Mickey, is it possible that you kept

shooting at Officer Baker even after he went down?

What?

No.

I don't remember doing that.

I wouldn't do that.

You run that story, it will incite racial unrest in this city. We don't

know what happened yet. We have a duty to report facts. Yeah, these are facts

without context.

What's gonna happen to me? I don't know.

But I can promise you that we will conduct a fair investigation and we will

find the truth.

Sorry to interrupt, boss, but you should turn on the news.

Everyone was running and screaming.

Then this white dude came by the door with a badge around his neck and he just

started shooting.

He had crazy eyes.

Did this officer identify himself or shout a warning before he fired?

Nah, man, he just started blasting.

That brother fell down on his face in front of him and the cop just kept

shooting.

You're saying the white officer shot the black man in the back while he was lying

helpless on the ground.

That's not what I'm saying.

That's what he did.

These protests are only going to get worse.

That's why we need to charge McGee now. The alleged witness, Carter, hasn't been

vetted. He was interviewed by a reporter.

There's video of him entering the station just before the shooting.

Doesn't mean he saw it.

He has been collared for robbery, assaulting a police officer, and he's on

parole. That doesn't make him a liar. His record does put his credibility into

question.

An arrest brings the temperature down.

We can sort the rest out later.

Chief, since when are you so cavalier about taking away a man's freedom,

especially one of your own? We're not sending him to prison.

If you arrest McGee...

What's left of his reputation will be destroyed forever, guilty or not. It was

never good to begin with. McGee is no cop of the year, but I know that Baker

is your friend and that he worked for you in DCU, and it is obvious that is

affecting your judgment.

What? Chief.

Chief. Yeah?

You can arrest McGee, but he will walk right back out that door, and I will not

write up a complaint until that witness has been formally interviewed.

You didn't have to come to my rescue. I didn't.

Mayor Shaw's in a re-election year.

The last thing he wants is unrest in the streets.

I can bet you Shaw's in Anakin's year.

I didn't back you because you're my daughter. I backed you because you were

right.

Sarah's really feeling the heat. There's been looting and rioting in the North

End. She thinks Lanigan is going to shut down the task force and give the case to

IA. You know if we let that happen, this goes from an investigation into an

inquisition.

Then you have a soft spot for McGee, don't you? Because you shot that cop.

I do not have a soft spot for McGee. I just don't want to see the guy get

railroaded is all. Well, if he's guilty, he deserves to suffer the consequences.

If he is guilty, he should be buried beneath the prison.

I'm just saying, I've been where he is, and nobody believed me either, including

members of my own family.

All I had to lean on was faith, same as McGee. Come on, that trauma that he

suffered on that train last year, that could have filled him with a rage that

he cannot control.

What makes you think McGee had that rage?

His words.

He literally said he doesn't remember how many shots he fired at a decorated

cop. He doesn't remember if he shot him in the back.

If he was in a state of rage, he wouldn't.

He might be right.

Hey, boss.

Simon Anthony.

The kid your son and his partner collared in the subway? Well, he had a

bunch of cash and two cell phones on him.

This one didn't belong to him.

I'm thinking Anthony and his pal with the shotgun, they were fleeing the scene

of a robbery.

I have the data sent to your computer.

All right, well, I'll check for robbery complaints in the area.

And I'll get permission to run facial record on this image. Thanks.

Okay.

Yeah, he's showing me he got the message.

I just gotta show him what kind of boss I'm gonna be.

Tex and Sarah?

Yeah.

All right, we need some good news.

What do you got? Still nothing on Shotgun Guy, but we may have found

something. Okay, let's see it.

We have no idea who he is, but this kid saw the shooting.

It's a witness.

Yeah.

Anything else?

Yeah. This is a screenshot from footage from another surveillance camera before

all hell broke loose. But at the time of the shooting, this kid doesn't have the

backpack or this bag.

He left the bag on the train when the shooting started.

Wait a minute.

The logo on this bag, that's Goddard Grocery. This is a lunch spot from my

old patrol district.

Nice work. You guys are gonna make great detectives one day.

Yes, you are.

Now, come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. Grab that bag from evidence and do

not return without that kid. We won't. Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Sarah granted facial rec access since this case is so high profile.

Great. Now, if we could figure out who got robbed before the subway shooting...

We might find the second shooter.

I just found our robbery, Vic.

That is our Vic.

Preston Cherney.

Let's see.

And there's the complaint.

Victim of a robbery this morning, downtown on Adams, ten minutes before

the shooting, two black males, green caps. So they were running from a stick

-up.

You're really good at this, detective.

Script says the second perp has a gold grill with a scar on his left cheek.

Okay, you see.

That's our guy, Miles Barton, one of Simon Anthony's past co-defendants.

Let's get some answers.

Let's roll.

Excuse me, sir.

Is the owner here?

You're looking at him.

We're hoping you might know this kid.

I think he witnessed the shooting in the subway this morning.

This is Isaac.

Does Isaac have a last name?

I'm sure he does, but not one that I know.

He's an orphan.

About a month ago, I caught him trying to steal some food from my stand.

Instead of calling the police, I took him inside and gave him something to

eat. And he's been coming by every morning since.

We found some old textbooks in his bag that he left on the subway.

Do you happen to know where he lives or goes to school? He lives on the street.

And he don't go to school.

I gave him the books to help him with his studies.

He's been in and out of foster homes since his mom passed when he was six.

Was there anything else you can tell us about him? Anything at all?

The gang's trying to recruit him.

He's holding out, so last week they roughed him up pretty good.

Been ducking him ever since.

If he happens to come by, please give us a call. If we can't find him, we'll come

back in the morning.

He's got a rusty old purple bike.

You find that bike, and you'll find him.

All right, still for 12 o'clock. Got your six.

Sullivan. Yep.

Nine o'clock. We have two detectives taking him with you. Curry.

Take two and get two o'clock.

Stay alert.

Thank You mr. Mayor I'm confident that this will help calm things down

Yes, I certainly will.

Thank you. Bye-bye. I thought we were on the same team. I'm sorry, Chief.

It's okay, Mary.

Are you kidding me?

You snatch a witness, pull the case from the task force, give it to IA without

even a phone call? I don't report to you, Sarah. Please, sir, for the good of

the case, let the task force work with IA.

It'll take precious time to get them up to speed.

The city is a powder keg. It's I.A.'s case now.

You are making a mistake here, Chief.

A man's life and reputation are on the line, but you've already made up your

mind that McGee is guilty, and he deserves better.

You'll do well to remember who works for who here.

Maybe I forgot, because you no longer resemble the man I thought you were.

We make public overdose, male, approximately 20.

Keep that kid alive.

What else could go wrong here?

I don't know.

Because even if Barton survives and he saw the shooting, it's gonna be a long

time before he can tell us anything.

Yeah. It's Baker's doctor.

Yeah.

Detective Baker has a long road ahead of him, but he's going to make it.

He's going to be okay.

Thank God.

Looks like your prayer was answered.

Uh-oh, this is Sarah.

And look at there.

Hey, Sarah, yeah, they're here now.

Let me call you back.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here? What's going on?

We have an arrest warrant with Officer McGee's name on it. Why, no. This is our

case. Who issued the warrant?

D.A. Silver and Perchie Flanagan. The case is reassigned to I.A. You gotta be

kidding me. Turn around. Turn your hands up behind your back.

Let's do what he says.

You are under arrest for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and

reckless endangerment.

You're just gonna perp walk them out of the hospital past all them cops?

You bet I am.

So much for the truth, huh?

This brisket Sean's been bragging about really lives up to the hype.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll rip the band-aid off.

Really, Mom?

Not even a heads-up that Officer McGee was going to be arrested or that IA was

taking over the case?

I don't love it, but his witness statement and the evidence were more

than enough to charge him. Detective Baker might be able to clear up this

whole thing.

Can you just...

Hold off on the grand jury until he is well enough to be interviewed.

I can wait a few days.

Okay. Thank you.

I've read a bunch of stuff online about it.

If McGee was a racist cop, why would you want to cut him a break?

We don't know that this was racially motivated.

Yeah, internet's all about clickbait, you know?

It's what they do. What we need to know is whether the shooting was justified or

if it was because of something else.

Some of the old-timers at E12 are saying that McGee should have...

taking cover in the doorway and ordered Baker to put down his firearm before he

fired, but... Baker ran toward him with a gun in his hand, did not identify that

he was police and wasn't wearing the color of the day. Yeah, but he ran

toward gunfire.

He was being brave. You can't train courage.

But Sarah's right.

Mistakes were made, and it has to be called out so other officers don't

repeat them. The thing is, a year ago, on that same train, McGee...

was held at gunpoint and forced to watch his wife be abused.

While two black men were trying to cut off his trigger finger so he wouldn't be

able to be a cop anymore.

I mean, I don't care who you are.

That kind of trauma changes you.

We don't know what McGee was thinking when he shot Baker.

It could have been racism.

It could have been vengeance.

The problem is only McGee knows. And now that IA stole the case, we may never

know the truth.

I mean, what would you guys have done in that position?

I don't know. I don't think I would have shot him.

I don't know.

I'm...

Sorry.

But that was the sequence of shots.

Less than ten seconds.

Six shots.

That's how much time McGee and Baker had to make all the decisions they made.

And I don't give a damn what any politician says or what any media person

says.

They will never understand what those two men felt in that moment.

What they were seeing, what they were hearing, what they were thinking, what

they were feeling amongst all that chaos.

They will never understand the trauma that Lena was talking about or the

trauma she's been through.

They will never understand the horror of what it feels like to shoot a fellow

cop.

Like I did.

Well, was he black?

The cop you shot? Babe, it's okay, Sean.

No.

Male, white.

Mid-40s, waving a gun around, and did not respond to a single order that I

gave him to stop.

In a perfect world, it wouldn't matter what color he was.

But this world is far from perfect.

I know the history of this city.

There's still work to do, but we've come a long way.

What happened on that subway?

Our duty is to find the truth.

so justice can be served.

Maid's right. No matter how bad things look, we have a DA,

a police superintendent, two decorated detectives, and two uniformed

officers at this table.

If anyone can get to the truth, it's this family.

Mr. Carter, ready for your morning show appearance?

I'm Superintendent Silver. This is Detective Silver. We need to have a

chat.

I don't chat without my lawyer. Okay, well, you might need a new one who

spends more time in the courtroom than on cable news.

Although, all of the press appearances did make it very easy to find you.

Why did you lie about seeing the shooting? I didn't.

Falsely reporting an incident is a felony and a violation of parole. You're

looking at three years.

Back in jail, minimum.

So it took all night to comb through the footage to find this.

Image is kind of terrible, but... I don't see no face.

That ain't me.

Thing is, nobody else was wearing that jacket.

And the time stamp puts you three cars away from the shooting five seconds

after it started.

You didn't see the shooting.

This case is national news.

You get on the stand and lie, the DA is going to go hard on you.

I'll make sure of it.

So this is your moment, Carter, right here, right now.

You come clean, no charges.

You keep lying, and you are going to end up back at Walpole having powdered eggs

and stale bread instead of that fluffy croissant.

I spill the truth right now.

I get no charges.

None Okay officers we've been looking for this kid all morning Why isn't Isaac

shown at the grocery store? Maybe he heard we were looking for him and got

spooked Look, can you pull over? I'm gonna ask these kids if they've seen

Isaac around Sup guys,

Boston Police Department.

You seen this kid?

His name is Isaac

So yesterday, Penny showed up at command.

Yeah. I didn't call her after the shooting to let her know I was okay, and

she was pretty shaken.

I heard.

You know, your mom used to worry about me from the moment I left the house in

the morning to start my tour until the very second my key hit the lock when I

got home.

Yeah. And if something big happened, I always called your mom right away so she

wouldn't worry.

I mean, you gotta put yourself in Penny's shoes.

You invited her to Shabbat.

That's a big step.

Yeah, that's what Jonas said.

I got a feeling she cares about you a lot more than you think.

It's not a bad thing.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

One of the kids said they saw him by the park on Franklin.

Madam District Attorney.

We have good news.

Carter confessed.

He made up the whole thing.

He had a grudge against the cop that sent him to prison. Really?

You went around Carter's attorney?

Do you understand how bad that looks? Why does it matter if Carter was lying?

The case was reassigned to IA. You interfered with their investigation.

Flanagan's hit men weren't looking hard enough for the truth, or they would have

dug up the same footage of Carter we did this morning. You know that Carter's

lawyer doesn't care about that stuff. He doesn't care about the truth.

He's going to spin it to make it sound like you intimidated his client to

protect a fellow officer.

You kicked a hornet's nest, ladies.

You need to find another witness.

Otherwise, what's going on in the streets will go from bad to worse.

I can't believe nobody's seen this kid. He's ducking a gang. He doesn't want to

be seen. Probably feels safer going to the grocery store in the morning so he

won't be seen. But that's Isaac's bike.

Looks like he dumped it in a hurry.

Mark, weird clock.

Oh, there he is. Come here.

Stop.

Let's go.

I got him.

We help Isaac. Go ahead, he needs you.

Watch the knife.

Come on, give me your hands.

Hands on your back, man. Stop resisting.

You're safe now.

Isaac,

right?

I'm with the Boston Police Department.

Okay? You're safe.

Let me see your arm, man.

Ah, that's not too bad.

He was putting the moves on it, man.

Left, right.

There you go.

You're safe.

I got you.

I got you, okay?

I saw this lady. She was bleeding.

And a black man running at her with a gun.

It was scary.

You're doing great, Isaac.

I ducked behind the pole, and there was another shot.

There was a white officer in a doorway, and he had a gun.

He looked scared.

The black man was running at him, and the officer kept shooting each other

this close.

The black man fell. He was moaning and making noises.

Lots of blood.

Did the officer fire at the black man when he was lying on the ground?

No.

No, he stopped when he fell.

And you're sure, Isaac?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

He didn't shoot him in the back.

Based on new evidence that has come to light, all charges against police

officer Jason McGee have been dropped.

The shooting of Detective Baker was a tragic accident caused by two criminals

fleeing the scene of an armed robbery. The men responsible will be prosecuted

to the fullest extent of the law.

Sir, I know you're angry. I am here to fall on the sword.

Damn right I'm angry.

You disobeyed my orders, ignored the chain of command, and continued an

investigation I assigned to IA. With good intentions.

We arrived at the truth. We exonerated McGee. The truth would have come out

regardless of your antics.

There will be consequences for what you've done.

Bet on it.

So good to see you back at church.

Thanks for coming.

Tell your mother hello.

Hey, son. Grandpa. Yeah.

Grandpa, this is Isaac. Well, hello there, young man. Great to finally meet

you. Nice to meet you.

I enjoyed your sermon.

That was for you.

Philippians 3.13, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is

ahead. My grandpa's the one who arranged for you to stay with the Collins family

for a while. I've known them a long time. They're wonderful people. They've

fostered many kids over the years. And Sister Collins, whoa, she gonna put some

meat on your bones.

And Jonah's mom's got connections to the family court, so if you like it there,

you can pull some strings and make it permanent.

You're not alone anymore, Isaac.

You got us.

Why are you guys helping me?

It's who we are. It's what we do.

Oh, am I right, Sarah? I gotta go.

I'll see you, Ruff. I'll see you. All right. Bye.

Hey, beautiful.

Hi. Nice dress.

Thank you.

I was, uh... I was thinking about earlier, yeah?

Didn't know if I was okay, and...

No worried you must have been I'm sorry You know, I thank you for saying that I

guess I just I hope I didn't embarrass you You can never embarrass me. It was

sweet But I'm starting to think you like me or something weird

Guilty as charged officer Reagan.

Hey, let's go before this gets any sappier

Thanks so much. You got it. Appreciate you. Thanks for your hard work.

Look at you and Sullivan.

Like old pals.

How did you end up fixing it? We worked late. Around the clock, in fact.

We talked through the Lee case, then we cracked the Lee case, and then we

cracked open a bottle of whiskey to celebrate.

Nice. Yeah.

It's Ling Xiu.

Ling what?

I had an old partner who spoke Chinese, and...

He said that a boss should be lingqiu.

It means collar and cuffs.

Like collar and cuffs?

So the collar, it controls the direction, right?

It dictates how the rest of the shirt falls.

So a leader should set the vision and the guidelines for the team. And the

cuffs, it's the most worn part of the shirt. When you work with your hands,

the cuffs do all the work.

So a leader should do the heavy lifting and lead by example.

It's Ling Xiu, and that, Danny, is you.

If I know how to say thank you in Chinese, I would.

So thank you.

So while you're at HQ doing your sergeant paperwork, us normal detectives

are going to be out enjoying some drinks.

Sorry.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Hey. How are you holding up, Jason?

That's been tough.

So many emotions over the last few days.

And the good thing is, Baker's doing really well.

Thank you for arranging this meeting.

Of course.

I guess this is it.

Thank you for everything.

And God bless you both.

You keep the faith.

I've been wanting to ask you, Danny.

That cop you shot, did he make it?

He did.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I never understood why I had to.

Until this moment.

So, you know, I could skip the paperwork and go for drinks with you all.

Gotcha. You really thought I was going to leave? Yeah. I'm dramatically

challenged. Three-finger type of partner of mine.

I did, though I was pregnant.
