Boston Blue

Danny.

- A word. - Of course.

How you guys holding up?

Ooh. Ask me in a couple hours.

Okay.

Listen, Reagan,

having you on loan from the NYPD has been great.

Okay. Why does that sound like you're breaking up with me?

It's the opposite. I want to make you official.

You know, if I officially accept this,

then that means I have to retire from the NYPD.

It's a big decision.

Having you as a contractor has been great.

But if you could run lead, choose cases,

book your own arrests... That would be better.

I've enjoyed not having to do all the paperwork.

This comes from the fourth floor,

office of the police commissioner.

Bpd is better with you here.

- Think about it. - I will.

That's Lena. She's on her way up. We got a body.

And... thank you.

I know you have a lot going on right now.

Don't go soft on me, Reagan.

I won't.

Thanks for calling me back.

I need everything the department of corrections

has on inmate number ma27068913.

Send it all. Everything.

Therefore, the conviction in question is overturned.

Mr. Baptiste, you are free to go.

What a mess.

Mae, what good is gonna come out of watching these proceedings?

I'm not gonna run from the consequences

of my decisions, dad. You taught me that.

This is not your fault.

Yes, it is. I fired beakman.

A corrupt a.D.A. Who abused his job for illegal kickbacks.

Yes, still, but firing him opened the door

to all his cases being reviewed.

I knew it was a risk, but ten convictions overturned so far?

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I know it's a tough day for your family.

If you need to sit this one out, you can.

Nah, I need to be here.

- I'm good, promise. - Okay.

All right, we got a deceased male.

57 years old. Marty Kane.

Homeowner.

Blunt force trauma to the back of the head.

Presumably by his own 9-iron. Dust that for prints

and the cuffs on his wrists.

Get the golf bag while you're at it.

- You sure you're okay? - You see that?

Looks oily near his elbow.

Wonder what that is.

M.e. Will figure it out.

It's a nice place.

Thinking burglary gone wrong?

His watch was stolen, postmortem.

Blood spatter disappears where the watch was.

Most burglars don't kill for a bad score, though, they flee.

But you already know that, don't you?

- True. - You don't need to lob me softballs

as a pick-me-up, Reagan.

Fair enough.

Perp would've brought a typical weapon for a burglary.

Gun or a knife.

Which, one could presume, that the Vic

knew the perp.

Maybe somebody who knew he wore an expensive watch.

Mo' money, mo' problems.

I'm gonna start a dad joke jar.

Yup, and that's a buck, right there.

Buck?

Dad? Dad? Where's my dad?!

- Is he here? - Whoa, hey, hold on. Hey.

- He's gone. - No!

- Wait, wait... - It's okay.

- What? - We're gonna have you take a seat, okay?

Hey, what's your name?

Sienna.

Sienna, we are very sorry.

We are gonna find who did this.

I can't believe this is happening.

Sienna, do you know anyone who would want to hurt your dad?

He's an analyst for the NSA.

His job's very dangerous.

The national security agency?

Do you know what he was working on?

He never talked about that stuff. He wasn't allowed.

This officer's gonna ask you a few more questions,

have someone take a look at you,

and we'll catch up with you in minute, okay?

If this guy was killed over classified state secrets...

Then this thing just got a whole lot bigger.

Yeah.

The commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Ronan Flaherty.

In the matter of the murder of judge Ben silver.

Counsel, state your appearances.

Good morning, your honor. Nadra Ali for the commonwealth.

Good morning, your honor. Julien singleton

for the defendant, Mr. Flaherty, who is present.

Defense made a motion to vacate

Mr. Flaherty's conviction on the grounds

of prosecutorial misconduct. Commonwealth?

Your honor, Mr. Flaherty's trial was prosecuted by

the Attorney General's office, not by one particular assist...

A.d.a. Ali is tap dancing

around the fact that the indictment was handled by one

of her colleagues, a.D.A. Beakman,

who was fired for criminal misconduct.

And as the filing a.D.A., he handled the witnesses,

the evidence, the discovery, the grand jurors.

We don't know to what extent his criminality affected this case.

Your honor, vacating a murder conviction

would be a gross injustice.

Counselors, if there's nothing further,

I'll make my ruling.

Residents of the commonwealth accused of crimes

are entitled to due process,

including during the grand jury phase.

And the due process doesn't include

the handling of their case by a corrupt prosecutor.

It is the ruling of this court

that Ronan Flaherty's conviction is hereby vacated.

The a.G.'S office is of course free to retry the defendant.

In the meantime, I am releasing him.

Mr. Flaherty, you are free to go.

I need to get to my kids.

Stop!

Hands behind your back, now.

Hey, silver, chill. Relax.

- Hey, back off, Reagan. - What's the matter with you, man?

The guy who killed my dad is out of jail.

And it's my mom's fault.

Just say yes.

- What are you doing here? - Just say yes.

On our date, you said there's no good Mexican food in Boston.

'Cause there isn't.

You're so cute yet so stupid.

I mean, there's a oaxacan spot. Their mole is fire.

- Come on, let's go. Just say yes. - Sadly,

I just got to say no because me and my dad

are looking for an authentic New York slice in Boston,

- so... - Wow.

You new yorkers are such snobs.

Hey, what's going on?

- It's nothing. - Come on.

It's Jonah.

He's not acting like himself.

He's spiraling, and I'm worried about what he might do.

All right, Sean, do yourself a favor,

and don't get involved in what's going on with him.

Okay? You have to look out for yourself.

- He's my best friend. - No, no, no, I-I get it.

You're looking at a girl who went to prison

because she was helping out her best friend.

- That's a bit different. - Okay.

I guess I'm just saying be careful.

- Yeah. - All right?

You're still gonna give me a ride home, though, right?

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay. Okay.

So, pizza with dad?

You know, I could go for a slice.

Wait, but you don't want detective Reagan

to meet the ex-con you're dating.

Stop. You know it's not like that.

Things are going good.

Are we really at the,

you know, "meet the parents" part of the relationship?

No, you're right. Okay. It's been a few weeks.

Forget I said anything.

Shall we?

- Yeah, you lead. Come on. - Yes, I lead the way now.

Let's see what Boston has to offer.

What about grace?

Any time two reagans get together

- for a meal, we're saying grace. - All right.

- In fact, you do the honors. Come on. - Okay.

Bless us, o lord, for these thy gifts,

which we are about to receive from thy bounty.

Through Christ our lord.

Amen.

- I said it. - Barely.

- What do we got here? - We got,

Falcone's and angulo's.

TikTok says they're supposed to be as good as a New York slice,

but I don't know.

You can't trust these Boston... types.

Look at that flop. Look, it's falling apart.

- This is not pizza. - Not good.

It's pretty bad.

What are you doing?

I got to check the undercarriage.

No flop, no slippage. All right.

Think you're slipping.

Not bad.

By the way, I spoke to your brother.
