Sleepy Hollow

Previously on Sleepy Hollow...

I searched the FBI database,

- and I found my father. - You've not seen him since...?

Since I was six.

Your archive is an amazing building,

totally deserving of historic status,

but the state won't release funds unless

you're an American citizen.

Agent Reynolds.

You're the new regional chief?

Good to see you, Abs.

I sensed something

between the two of you that seemed

more than professional.

Mind your business.

- Shard of Anubis. - Had it for years,

and no one gave a damn.

Hey, you got a problem?

Hand over the Shard, and you two can walk.

- Pandora. - Pandora... that's an interesting name.

As in the mythical woman with the box?

She's here,

now, in Sleepy Hollow, throwing monsters at us.

Pandora's box was said to contain

all the evils in the world.

Which one does she have in store for us next?

So many of you...

...trying to emerge.

Innocent souls...

call out to me.

Send me a gift

that will make them all see

what dwells in dark hearts...

...and faces concealed...

...make the fear of the Witnesses

mine to reveal.

The American dream

is dead!

What else are we to conclude

when the door to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

is so cruelly slammed in our faces?!

Yeah!

This nation was forged

so that anyone who came to her shores

may have the opportunity to place

yet another brick on her imperfect masonry.

And here comes the Jefferson.

Quoth Jefferson: "We have

more machinery of government than is necessary."

I ask you...

that you look inside your heart and do what is right.

A six-month extension

on your application for heritage protection

for the archives building...

But once an armory where Washington himself

dined with General Donatein DE Vimeur.

...can only be signed for by a U.S. citizen. Next.

- This is far from over. - No, no, no.

Thank you. It's over.

You gave it a try.

Just let me put my name on the application.

Lieutenant, I appreciate your generosity,

but I drew the battle lines here.

- Mm-hmm. - I must achieve victory or defeat

on my own terms.

I'm late for work.

We're in this together.

Remember.

Thank you.

See you at home.

Sorry.

Oh, um...

Oh, yeah. That's him.

Good ol' Dad.

And the answer is no, I haven't told Jenny yet.

Do you think there could be, as they say, an upside to this?

You know,

healing of old wounds, the forging of a new path.

Maybe.

But it feels like too much time has passed,

and what I need to do is let go, move on.

That's what he did.

Lieutenant?

- I'm going to do it. - Do what?

Become a full citizen of this country.

Yes, I have

rejected my fealty to England...

but I am here to consummate my allegiance to this nation.

Ichabod Crane, American.

I like the sound of that.

Nice speech.

Obliged. Oh.

Ms. Corinth, forgive me. I...

What brings you to this...

abyss of red tape and apathy?

Same as you.

Trying to get a stay of execution

for a church in Dobbs Ferry.

The Historical Society never rests.

Unlike this lethargic institution.

Thomas Jefferson would have railed

against the coffee break to his dying breath.

Look, I'm sorry,

I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.

I think it's wonderful you're going to apply to be a citizen.

Talk about red tape.

You're a brave man.

Well... yes.

Still, no gold is worth much if it comes without a struggle.

John Adams?

Actually... Ichabod Crane.

Even better.

Hey, Emily.

Hey there.

Uh, was thinking about going to the new food truck today.

I hear the Korean barbecue tacos are off the chain.

A bunch of us are headed over to Gardot's

for lunch... it's Rachel's birthday.

Rachel. From H.R.

Well, that sounds like a way more fun time.

Well, great. See you there.

You're not gonna let that guy get in the way, are you?

She's already with him.

I'm gonna close out.

Just gonna run away?

Hey.

I have a better idea.

Let's show everybody the real you.

Okay?

So, dude, last night,

- that blonde from Claims, Emily? - Yeah.

Put a few drinks in her, boom, got her number.

Which means you know I'm hitting that tonight.

- All night. - Yeah, you are.

- All right, man, see you later. - Later, bro.

Let's show everybody the real you.

The Shard of Anubis?

That's a pretty fancy name.

You never suspected it had any value?

Honestly, I had no idea anyone cared about the damn thing.

Until you had to trade it for Joe Corbin's life.

He overheard things about me, about his dad.

He's not about to let that go.

Well, can you blame him?

All of a sudden, he finds out he really didn't know half

- of what the man was up to. - But you did.

He deserves to know the truth. I mean,

I would want the same, wouldn't you?

Okay, so...

this, uh, Randall Martin guy, he must have wanted

the Shard pretty bad. You say he's a low-level player?

Simply a fixer for hire.

Look, I just need a trace on his car.

Mm-hmm. You sure that's all?

- I can handle the rest. - What about Joe?

He's family, Abbie.

If he wants to follow in his father's footsteps,

I don't have the right to deny him that.

Fine.

But just, you know...

take it slow when you show him the ropes.

- With little Joey Corbin? - Mm-hmm.

Trust me, baby steps.

- Don't mean to interrupt. - Not at all.

Special Agent Reynolds, this is my sister Jenny.

Danny.

Nice to finally meet the legend in person.

Let's not get carried away.

You got a moment for me?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I got to... dash anyway.

You two have a great day agenting.

Welcome to Sleep Hollow.

Just got a call... local PD's office

needs assistance in a homicide.

Must be some homicide.

A stabbing downtown. Apparently, not a drop of blood.

I told them I'd put my best eyes on it.

Check in with me later.

You got it.

Found him exactly like this.

Our guys haven't touched anything.

Would you mind getting your people back,

giving us some space?

You got it.

Multiple lacerations.

And based on the number and depth,

significant overkill, maybe even rage.

Bertie.

Crane?

Deep wounds.

Bold.

No fear of being caught.

Exsanguination.

You recognize this M.O.?

I do.

From long ago.

So, some monster

the Brits used against the Patriots?

No.
