Boston Blue

All right. Subject of the arrest warrant

is Kiko balzan.

Wanted for a murder in my old stomping grounds of Brooklyn.

A week ago, balzan and two other unnamed men

got into a dispute over a woman at a Brooklyn club.

Balzan pulled a gun, shot and killed Troy Caldwell,

22-year-old pre-med student from long island.

Murder weapon was found near the crime scene

with balzan's prints on it.

Balzan is believed to be part of a street-level crew

here in the south end.

Twenty something wannabe gangsters

who sell drugs, chop cars and terrorize the neighborhood.

We got a tip from a family member that balzan

is laid up in a safe house here in mission hill.

That same family member said that balzan would

rather die than go back to prison.

Let's be careful out there

and let's show NYPD detective baez

how we do it here in bean town.

Let's roll.

I'll catch up with you in a minute.

You got it.

- All good? - Yeah.

You know, it's the first case we've worked together

since we started dating.

Yep.

Are you okay?

Kind of been all business since you got here.

Yeah. I'm just,

I'm just tired of running on this homicide.

Okay. Well, let's catch your bad guy.

So maybe we can mix some pleasure in

with all your business.

If I eat another bran muffin, I might turn into one.

When can we go back to donuts?

As soon as we are sure that bad valve

is the only thing wrong with that big heart of yours, dad.

Hey, what are these tests that.

Sarah's taking you for this morning?

Only thing they're testing now is my Patience.

The condition is called aortic stenosis,

and the tests are scans looking for a blockage.

Hey, look at the silver lining.

You get to spend time with

your favorite silver granddaughter.

So then I guess.

Lena's gonna come and take him? Is that what...

You know, you should come with us

and get that cracked rib checked out.- easy. Gracious.

Brutal.

So, Seth, I understand

you're taking a break from politics and dipping

your toes into the crime beat at the dispatch?

Yeah, filling in for a colleague for a few weeks.

If I like it, I've got the option to stay, but

enough about work.

To you, sir.

Eighty trips around the sun, that's a huge deal.

Better than the alternative, I suppose.

No need to make a fuss about it.

I know. We all got the memo, dad.

Family-only dinner.

No gifts.

Cinnamon marble cake.

One sad candle.

Come on, grandpa, it's a milestone.

Don't say stone. It feels even older.

We better get going.

- Okay, bye. See you later, babe. - I'll see you later.

So he still has no idea about the party?

Nope.

Lena is running point, so make sure that

you keep checking your texts.

No, I'm already five deep with her here, so...

Mae, there is one thing

I would love to speak with you about.-

- is everything okay? - I'm not sure.

It's Laura from my office.

The mayor wants to meet me urgently.-

welcome to our circus.

Dispatch, show Jake-101 on foot.

1789 Chestnut, responding to that domestic disturbance call.

- 10-4, Jake-101. - Neighborhood like this,

probably some rich kid who's pissed

that daddy wouldn't let him take the Bentley for a spin.

No! Trey!

Nadine, please stop.

Stop!

- Drop the weapon! - No, no, no, no, no!

Officer, d-don't. She's my daughter. She's my daughter.

Nadine, put the gun down.

Nadine, we don't want to hurt you, okay?

No, no! No, no, no, no. Please.

She's having a psy... a psychotic episode.

She's-she's not well.

Shut up. You don't talk.

Hey, this is your last chance! Drop the weapon!

Hey, hey. Sean, wait! Wait, wait.

Nadine. Hey. Nadine.

Nadine. Look at me.

You don't want to do this.

Go.

Just look at me, okay?

- He's not who you think he is. - Okay.

Okay, just...

Just put the gun down and we can talk about it, okay?

Okay. I'm right here.

I'm right here with you.

That's good.

Please... I'm at 1789 Chestnut street.

I need h and h at my location immediately.

I got a man down with a gunshot wound.

- 10-4, Jake-101... - You're okay. - I know.

You're okay.

Mayor Shaw.

That extradition request just came down

from governor Morrison of Alabama on the ventri case.

Yes, I've been speaking with governor price about it.

She's left the decision in my hands.

That's why I'm here.

The families of the Alabama victims

are all over social media.

They're demanding that we send ventri back to Alabama

to face the death penalty. It's national news.

Now, I know you hate politics, Mae,

but I got a tough primary coming up,

and the public sentiment here in Boston

is 60/40 in favor of sending him back.

Just want to make sure we're on the same page.

Well, I feel for those families in Alabama,

but ventri raped and murdered Jenny Preston here.

Boston pd caught him,

or he'd still be out there murdering young girls.

So I'm not going to make any decision

until I speak with Jenny's family.

I'm certainly not going to compromise my integrity by

quenching someone's thirst for revenge

or furthering your political ambitions.

Well, then...

Then maybe you should think of your own ambitions.

Your term will be up before you know it.

And it's tough to run a campaign with no donors

and without the endorsement of the mayor.

Are you threatening me?

Look, if anybody deserves the needle, it's ventri.

There's a press conference this afternoon.

I'll give you some time to get your mind right.

- Police! Police! - Boston police!

He's got a gun!

Cover!

Shots fired, shots fired.

It's him. Kiko balzan.

Baez.

You're gonna want to see this.

Looks like they were holding someone against their will.

- Fresh blood. - Whoever was in here,

haven't been gone long.

Yeah. Looks like our homicide

just rolled into a kidnapping.

They must have took off right before we rolled up.

Unreadable. Ghost plate covers the tags.

Nice ding on that rear Fender.

Okay, thank you.

No active missing persons in the city or nearby counties

match the description of our hostage.

I'm thinking balzan's

co-defendants on my homicide case are bostonian.

None of my witnesses could ID them from NYPD photo logs.

Makes sense. Three mopes at the crime scene,

three mopes in the safe house.

Balzan's face is all over social media

and the news, his bank accounts are frozen,

he's desperate for cash.

So they kidnap this poor guy, hold him for ransom,

trying to score some cash to get out of town.

And threaten the family of the victim

if they involve the police.

It's why it wasn't reported.

Okay, but why leave balzan in the safe house

and take the hostage out?

They're getting ready to trade the victim for the ransom.

Well, we're not gonna know anything until crime scene

processes the house, so let's focus on balzan.

That was great. Round of applause.

I want to play.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Just what we do.

Please. I just sent an email with all of balzan's

past associates to your inbox, Reagan.

And never apologize, you guys are amazing together.

Yeah, we are.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy.

You tried to kill your dad.

The intake nurse said you're a frequent flyer

here at the psych ward.

It's all a setup.

If I'm crazy, he can do things.

He who? What-what things?

My dad. Trey. Bad things.
