Boston Blue

We ID the shooter yet?

No, we're still canvassing the businesses

to see if anyone can ID him.

Witnesses say it looks like he knew the victims.

Three employees of a frozen yogurt shop arriving to work.

Anyone else hurt?

Security guard took a bullet when the shooter ran south.

He's in surgery at Boston general.

Where was the security guard when the shooting started?

At the guard booth.

So the perp shoots north toward the frozen yogurt shop,

but then turns and runs south toward the security guard?

That doesn't make sense.

We did canvass back here, superintendent.

The shooter knew the victims.

Maybe he's been here before, maybe he's a regular.

Why run toward the guard stand?

He went through that gate.

Because that was the plan.

You have a view of the marketplace

and a quick exit behind.

Due respect, I think that's a stretch.

Still think it's a stretch?

They were three teenagers gunned down this morning...

You know we should be out there.

Yeah. Last on the crime board.

Somebody's got to hold down the fort.

Is that sandwich for me?

Actually, it is.

What a gentleman.

Except it has bacon.

Sorry, I forgot you don't eat bacon.

This sandwich wasn't for me, was it?

It was for Sean.

We were supposed to have breakfast.

He stood me up to go for a run.

I mean, I'm all for the kid staying in shape,

but I'm trying to spend time with him.

Spend time? You're living together.

And weren't you only supposed to be with him for a few weeks?

Yeah, it's going great.

We're having a great time so I figured,

why not stay longer, stay close?

Well, there's close, and then there's

"staying on my couch for three months" close.

You don't want to be that guy. Not even with Sean.

Detectives.

We have an rh special.

What do you want?

What's an rh special?

It's the Rose hawthorne museum heist.

- The what? - 35 years ago,

two thieves dressed as cops talked their way into the museum

and stole 13 pieces of priceless art.

It's the... it's the biggest unsolved mystery

in the history of Boston.

And let me guess, every now and again,

some armchair detective shows up with a lead

that's gonna crack the case, and you can't help but run it down.

Yeah.

My former boss used to refer to them

as, cold case crackpots.

Yeah, except I love art

so I get sucked into it every time.

It's like Lucy with the football, and I'm Charlie brown.

Okay, Charlie brown.

- Let's see what this blockhead has to say. - Yeah.

I don't want to talk about it anymore. Fine.

Okay. What the heck was that all about?

I don't know.

He probably chickened out.

A lot of rh specials come in 'cause they lost a bet

or their friends put them up to it as a prank.

You gonna eat that egg and bacon?

Nah, you got it.

I mean, it's only been a year,

and my roommate's already got to move out.

Well, you didn't like him anyway.

I know, but I am a civil servant.

Raising my rent is an affront to the city of Boston.

Boo-hoo.

My old kitchen in New York was also my bathroom.

All right? And it was worse rent wise

than anything else I've seen in Boston.

Are you seriously bragging

about things being worse in New York right now?

Whatever.

Dude, you okay?

I just didn't get much sleep last night.

My dad wanted to watch an... Old world war ii movie.

- Another one? - You know, for a guy who hates war,

he really likes watching movies about it.

- You seeing what I'm seeing? - Yep.

- Hey... - Boston police!

Knife on the ground! Get on the ground!

On your knees.

You okay, sir?

I can't remember where I live.

Okay, okay.

I got an address.

Let's call these guys in first.

We're gonna get you home.

Good afternoon.

The murder weapon in the triple homicide

at wharf street market was recently purchased

and registered to an individual

who lives in a duplex in allston.

The special investigations unit has executed an arrest warrant

at that location.

Boston pd!

Officers have searched the house

for Kyle Ferguson, who resides at that duplex

and whose fingerprints were found on the gun.

We have a warrant. Where's Kyle?

He's upstairs.

David, what did he do?

Police! Get on the ground!

Kyle Ferguson was found on the second floor.

Kyle is 16 years old.

Please.

To the parents of the teenagers who were killed today...

our hearts are with you.

Know that Kyle Ferguson will be prosecuted

to the fullest extent of the law.

Single gunshot wound to the back.

What'd you come up with?

Victim is Andy gosher Jr.

55 years old.

His daughter found him.

- I'll go talk to her. - Okay.

I'll take a look around.

Excuse me. I'm detective Reagan.

Can you tell me what happened?

We were supposed to have lunch.

I just came to pick him up.

Can I ask why your dad was moving?

This was my grandfather's place.

Dad's been living here taking care of him.

I see.

My grandfather just died of a heart attack last week.

Hey.

Bag these mugs, yeah?

Do you know of anyone who would want to hurt your dad?

No. People loved him.

He was the manager at the main mast.

Took good care of his employees.

Customers, too.

Who would do this?

We're gonna do our best to find out...

Would you take her in the other room?

Come on. This officer's gonna walk you to the kitchen, okay?

No known enemies.

Lack of forced entry, two coffee mugs on the table,

no visible signs of struggle.

So the victim knew the killer, let him in,

which explains why the victim turned his back

on the shooter.

Can you flip him over?

That's the man that came into the station this morning.

- That's the rh special. - Yeah.

The crackpot with the intel on the art heist.

Yeah.

You know... The thieves from the hawthorne heist,

they cut the paintings out of the frames.

Okay, wait a minute.

You don't think those were the same thieves?

Maybe our crackpot wasn't so cracked after all.

Is that his father?

You see how bad this makes us look?

I promised the people of Boston that I would take action.

Mayor Shaw, lower your voice.

Look, I promised to prevent these kinds of shootings,

and the prevention starts with the parents.

It actually starts with the guns.

Right. As in how he got his hands on one?

The kid is done and dusted, but what about his parents?

We should be going after them for manslaughter,

just like that kid in Michigan, his parents.

Michigan is not my jurisdiction, Jim.

And as far as I'm concerned,

people are not criminally responsible

for other people's behavior, parents or not.

There's a reason that law's been around for hundreds of years.

Well, maybe Michigan's dragging the law into the 21st century.

I know this is your call, Mae,

but the press is setting the narrative here,

and I am getting slammed with public outrage.

Do something.

He's not wrong.

Parents in these shootings

always say they had no idea their kid was dangerous.

Mom, the carnage I saw... Those kids...

What about their families? Don't we owe them something?

That's exactly who I'm thinking about, Sarah.

It's my job to bring them justice,

and I can't do that by arresting people

the law won't let a jury convict.

Wouldn't hurt to investigate the parents, would it?

It can't be a crusade.

Be objective.
