Rival company hired me to find proof.

Well, if Delgado's story is true,
about the software engineer, then he should be on this list.
So I already crossed out the female employees,
and now I'm focusing on Black-sounding names.
Whoa. Wow.
If I did that in New York,
I'd probably get a call from HR or IA.
[chuckles] I can check every Tom, Dick, and Harry later,
but right now I'm counting on
the tech industry's under-hiring of Black men
to work in our favor.
And looky here.
Two software engineers.
Okay.
Well, if one of these two lost their job last week,
maybe they already posted
to one of those job search websites or something.
That's a really good call.
All right.
No résumé for the first one.
Let's check this name.
Oh! Here we have a résumé
posted by a Marquís Rawlins.
And his last employer was Image-Stats.
-So that's our disgruntled employee? -That's him.
And we have his photo, so we can...
we can run a facial rec search
against building security footage
and that should be enough to get us a warrant.
-Great. Let's do it. -Wait.
The lieutenant has to sign off.
And there's a lot of eyes on this software right now.
Not for nothin', but my son was almost killed,
your brother could have been killed.
We gotta wait around for paperwork?
This is not New York.
What is that supposed to mean?
You got a reputation, you know?
-For getting things done. -You're a great detective.
But how many times did your dad, the NYPD commissioner,
look the other way when you crossed the line?
I have to show my work.
All my "T"s crossed, all my "I"s dotted.
I hear you.
And when it comes to my old man,
nothin' made him happier than to make an example out of me
for the rank and file.
But he also knew that sometimes dotting "I"s and crossing "T"s
has to come second to right and wrong.
I'm not asking you to break any rules.
I'm just saying, sometimes
I pick my spots.
Where are you going?
LENA: I'm going over the lieutenant's head.
I'm picking my spot.
What's up?
We have narrowed our suspect pool
to a disgruntled employee with means and motive.
Oh, hey, Sarah. How's your day going?
Well... [scoffs] Pretty crazy, actually, Lena.
Okay. You have means and motive.
So now we need opportunity.
And I need to run a facial recognition search against
security footage to place him at the scene.
I assume you filed an official request.
No. There's no time for that.
I came to you.
You're supposed to have my back.
What's that supposed to mean?
Is this about the promotion?
I didn't say that.
You didn't have to.
Look, it killed me to not promote you.
You're a brilliant detective.
But...
It wasn't your turn.
This job comes with as much politics as policing.
But there was an equally qualified detective
who'd been waiting longer.
I'm sorry.

Well, you just apologized, so that means you owe me one.
-Hmm? -Yeah. You just apologized.
-You know that's what it means. -No.

registered in his name.

I really do. And his life is worth it.
-I agree. -JONAH: I do, too.
EDWIN: Jonah?
You have something to say?
I took a look at the evidence.
I think that Marquís was packing
-the go bag for someone else. -SARAH: Jonah.
-Did you meddle in an open investigation? -It is my fault.
There was a burning building. Sean wanted to call for help,
and I told him that we should go in and now he is hurt.
Please, just let me help with this investigation.
For Sean.
What makes you think Rawlins is innocent?
In the bag, there was a limited-edition pair of Dunks.
Those are thousand-dollar shoes.
Anybody who would own those would not just
-throw them in the bag. -LENA: And you know,
someone was sleeping on that couch.
Maybe somebody Marquís is covering for.
Seems like there's more work to do, Detectives.
-[Danny clears throat] -Yes, ma'am.
I'll be with Sean. Go.
Thank you for dinner.
-Thank you, Mom. -Of course.
-EDWIN: See you. -Yeah. Me, too.
-Love you, Mom. -Love you, too.
-SARAH: Bye. Bye, Grandpa. -Love you.
-MAE: Love you. -Of course.
Well, there goes our family dinner.
More wine for us. L'chaim.
-Cheers. -MAE: Cheers.
JONAH: Evidence Control says the full list
should hit the system any minute.
We've combed through Marquís Rawlins' entire life
and only found a speeding ticket
and a crazy ex-girlfriend.
Why do you assume the ex is crazy?
I don't assume she's crazy.
He says it himself in these social media posts.
"Thought she was the one, but she's obsessed with her ex."
"Finally ended things with Tanya."
I'm sorry. Can you go back to that ticket?
Found this in the pocket of Marquís Rawlins at his house.
The T has been under construction,
the Red Line's up next,
but these tickets are date stamped.
If Marquís was speeding through Hyde Park,
h-how did he get a Red Line closure notice
-in his pocket the same day? -DANNY: I don't know about Boston,
but I don't know anyone
who drives all the way home in their car,
then turns around to take the subway back.
So it wasn't him.
And if Marquís wasn't riding the T, then who was?
Whose shoes were in the bag?
DANNY: That's the million-dollar question.
Look at this post.
"So proud of Caleb.
He's MIT-bound."
Who's Caleb? Maybe he's...
Tanya's son from a previous relationship, before Marquís?
Yeah, but he's got a similar look and build to Marquís.
So what's Caleb's last name?
Bruce.
The post was from a few years ago, so maybe he's 20, 21 now.
Okay, yeah, I don't have anything on him,
but I got a Caleb Bruce in his forties.
-Record a mile long. -SARAH: Must be Caleb Sr.
The ex Marquís' girlfriend, Tanya,
-was obsessed with. -Exactly.
-Could he be the killer? -No. He's in Lancaster.
He's in a maximum security prison.
Okay. Well, if we could rule out Caleb Sr. and Marquís,
then, Superintendent Silver, I think we need
your authorization to run the software again,
on Caleb Bruce, Jr.
You got it.
Good news.
We know, to a 99% certainty,
that it was not you who killed Andrea Decker.
-Or set the fire. -[breathes deeply]
But we also know that it was
your ex-girlfriend's son,
Caleb Bruce, who did.
We're guessing that you and him built a very strong bond
while you were dating his mom, correct?
And just because things went bad with Tanya
doesn't mean that you ever lose
that father and son connection with him.
Come on, I got a girlfriend, she's got a daughter.
I'd do anything for her,
regardless of what happened with us.
I can see you want to help him.
But you gotta help us.
DANNY: You do that,
and I promise you we will bring him in safely.
Marquís, we will.
[clears throat]
Caleb, he's studying chemistry at MIT.
He's got a future,
but his dad has a hold on him,
even locked up.
He filled Caleb's head with lies that
the software I worked on was the reason he got arrested.
And you were fired last week. Why?
I-I pushed Andrea to rethink the platform the tech was built on.
You know, close the gap on minority misidentification.
And instead she fired you.
-Yeah. -DANNY: So that's
two father figures in Caleb's life
wronged by Andrea Decker.
-That's our motive. -He's got a background
in chemistry, which means he knows the right ratios
to mix accelerants, he had access to a keycard
and to the murder weapon,
a gun registered to you.
What do you think, Reagan?
I think we have all of our "I"s dotted
and all of our "T"s crossed.
Where is Caleb?
LENA: Marquís said the Park Street station
is where Caleb switches trains. He should be here.
Jonah, you got eyes on?
JONAH: No. Not yet.
DANNY: Okay. Keep your eyes peeled, kid.
I got him.
[woman yelps]
He's headed your way.
DANNY: Right there. That's him.
Police! Hold it!
Hold it!
[grunts]
Stay down.
-Stay down! -LENA: Down! -Stay down!
Get on the ground.
-You got him? -Yeah. I got him.
DANNY: What do we have here?
Glock .22.
Yeah, and I bet it's registered to Marquís Rawlins.
Marquís was just trying to help, man.
You want to do the honors, Reagan?
Nah.
It's the rookie's collar.
You did good.
Officer Silver.
[cuffs clicking]
JONAH: All right. Come on. Get up.
-LENA: Up, up, up. -JONAH: Caleb Bruce,
you're under arrest for the murder of Andrea Decker.
[organ playing hymn]
EDWIN: Let us always remember
that we are one family in faith
-and we have faith in our family. -[rhythmic clapping]

I'm usually in church on Sundays, anyway...
-Mm. -...so I figured I'd take
the reverend up on his invite.
I'm glad you did.
-This is very beautiful, by the way. -Thank you.
Very different than a Catholic Mass, though.
Oh, yeah. Louder.
-A lot louder. Lot more fun, too. -Yeah. [laughs]

-Hey. -Hey.
-Hi-- Oh. Hi.
Oh. Mom. Mom, Mom.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I am a Boston police officer.
And you know you don't have to prove yourself
to anybody, right?
Have you met my sisters?
-Yeah. -Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to say goodbye.
-Oh. -And he's right, by the way.
-They are a tough act to follow. -[Jonah chuckles]
But you should take advantage of it.
You could learn a lot from them, too.
Like Sean learned from you?
I wouldn't go that far.
No. No, no. That night of the fire, Sean told me
that being a police officer is like playing ball with Jordan
-or... -Or playing drums for Springsteen.
-Yeah. -Wow. Yeah.
That's a... an old Reagan family saying.
Reminds us to have faith in each other.
MAE: Your faith served you well.
Andrea Decker's killer is behind bars.
LENA: That's right. And the press--
they are all over
the facial recognition software's vulnerabilities.
Marquís Rawlins was given leniency for cooperating.
He's also gonna be consulting to fix the bugs.
Hey. Great sermon, sir.
-Thank you. -Faith and family.
I couldn't agree more.
Well, as promised, I kept it short enough
that we can still make kickoff.
-[laughter] -EDWIN: Care to join us, Danny?
Uh, I have to get back to the hospital.
-But I'd love to take a rain check. -Ah.
So does that mean you'll be around?
I'll be in Boston as long as Sean needs me to be.
SARAH: Well, BPD could use the help
if you ever want to ride along with Lena.
Really?
What, you think you can keep up, Brooklyn?
Not sure I can keep up with you, Beantown,
but I would definitely give it a try.
[laughter]
I'll see you around.
-EDWIN: Okay. -MAE: Okay.
Let's go.
[laughter]
[monitor beeping steadily]
[sighs]
You ready for Sunday dinner?
Guessing no pot roast.
Roast beef sandwiches, best I could do.
All right.
[inhales raggedly]
All right, you could say grace.
Bless us, O Lord...
BOTH: ...and these Thy gifts
we are about to receive
-from Thy bounty... -[monitor beeping faster]

It's okay, I'm right here.
[exhales]
[choked up]: That's my kid.
I'm right here.
You hear me?
[stifled groan]
I'm not going anywhere.
