00:07Luke Morrison, Rick Morrison, open up!
00:09BPD!
00:12Has it been this loud all night?
00:15Okay, you can open the door.
00:24Hello?
00:26Luke, Rick, BPD, anyone home?
00:30It's freezing.
00:31AC must be on full blast.
01:00Hey!
01:02Hey!
01:03Hey!
01:04Hey!
01:05Hey!
01:07Dispatch 12 Jake 101.
01:08We've got two deceased at our location.
01:10I need a patrol supervisor and detectives here immediately.
01:17Oh, Dad!
01:20Are you looking for something?
01:22I hope I'm not intruding, but I'm working on an interfaith sermon, and I remember you had a copy of
01:28those Martin Buber essays.
01:30Middle Shell, to your right.
01:32Ah.
01:32Did you make an appointment with a cardiologist?
01:35Cardiologist?
01:36Blood work, elevated heart markers.
01:39You said you'd take care of it, but you got a reminder message on your e-chart this morning.
01:44I got a text, but how does my daughter come to see that text?
01:49You gave them my e-mail address, too.
01:52Dad, you need to take this seriously.
01:54I am taking it seriously.
01:56A serious invasion of privacy.
01:59I know you're upset with me, but I don't need you looking at my hospital file.
02:03I'm not upset with you, Dad.
02:05I'm just concerned.
02:06May, I'm feeling fine.
02:09If you'll excuse me, I have a sermon to write.
02:15Oh, I thought we'd at least get warm coming indoors.
02:17It's colder on here than it is outside.
02:19It's like going from one freezer to another.
02:22What do you got?
02:23Jonah and I were responding to a noise complaint.
02:26Door was locked.
02:26We entered and found these two bodies, Luke and Rick Morrison.
02:29Stripped down, wet towels, AC full blasts, drank all the water.
02:35Doing everything they could to cool themselves off.
02:38Symptom of hyperthermia.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Drugs were cooking them from the inside.
02:41Drugs?
02:42You think this was an overdose?
02:43We saw the same symptoms in an OD, Vic, a few days ago,
02:47including the strange posture in their neck.
02:49Yeah, typically with an OD, the muscles go slack.
02:52Not like this.
02:53Yeah.
02:56There you go.
02:58Same symbol on his hand as the previous, Vic.
03:01There's the connection.
03:02Taking an awful lot of notes there, officer.
03:04You okay?
03:05The cop's only good as the notes he takes, right?
03:08In other words, you've been talking to your grandfather.
03:11Yeah, we've been FaceTiming here and there.
03:12He's giving me tips on the investigative side of things.
03:15Cool.
03:16Time to figure out what's next.
03:18Huh.
03:19Is that symbol important?
03:21Yeah, uh, three victims, all college-aged, with that same UV hand stamp.
03:25Definitely not random.
03:26Yeah, based on the previous OD, we think it belongs to some underground party,
03:30which we have not been able to track down yet.
03:32So we gotta figure out where Luke and Rick were last night and who they were with.
03:36You have info on the next of Kim?
03:38Yeah.
03:38Barb Morrison, grandmother, she was listed as an additional contact on the lease.
03:42Rick and Luke, they were both on the Dean's List this semester.
03:49They come out here every weekend to check in.
03:54I love cooking for them.
03:56I can only imagine what you're feeling right now.
03:58I hope it's okay for me to ask.
04:00Um, looks like the boys went to a party last night.
04:05Do you have any idea where that might have been?
04:09No, I don't know.
04:10Like, you said this had something to do with drugs.
04:14It does look that way.
04:15But Rick and Luke, they didn't do drugs.
04:17That's not the kind of boys that they were.
04:19Miss Morrison, I have two sons.
04:21Rick and Luke's age.
04:23I promise you, we will get to the bottom of this.
04:26The boys' parents died quite a few years ago.
04:29And I live on my late husband's army pension.
04:32And, um, I don't know that I'll be able to afford to bury them.
04:37There's an assistance program you can apply for.
04:40We'll make sure you get the paperwork.
04:42And we will find who is responsible for this.
04:46You really think we're going to get anything useful from the noise complaint queen?
04:49Come on, man.
04:50Who knows more about these kinds of parties than Kenzie?
04:53Plus, she likes you.
04:55I know she likes me.
04:56That's the problem.
04:57She goes out and laugh like someone said something really super funny.
05:01Yes!
05:02Okay, so for this next...
05:03Oh, my God!
05:06Not Jonah!
05:07Hi, Kenzie.
05:08You guys, these are my cop friends.
05:11Hi!
05:12Hi!
05:12Oh, we're not open.
05:14Oh!
05:15Okay, body.
05:16Are you working out more?
05:18Counting your macros?
05:19Because this is giving...
05:21Oh, Shawnee, tell me you texted your girl Penny back.
05:24Remember in my last noise complaint, you were saying you didn't know you were going to...
05:27Penzie!
05:28We wanted to, uh, talk to you about something.
05:30Okay.
05:31Well, I know it's not about my upcoming DJ event because those permits are in hand this time, sweetie.
05:37Do you guys want some waters?
05:38We're doing a vodka brand integration.
05:40It's very important to stay hydrated.
05:42We're okay.
05:42We actually came to talk to you about a couple of parties.
05:45Some of your competition you might know of.
05:47Have you seen this logo before?
05:51Why are you asking me about this?
05:53Overdoses.
05:54A couple of people died taking drugs at a party with this stamp.
05:57And if I tell you stuff, could someone find out?
06:01Or does it stay private?
06:03No, we keep it private.
06:04I don't just mean now.
06:06I mean, like, say I tell you something and then you get deposed in court or whatever.
06:12I just think it needs some assurances, you know?
06:14Well, we couldn't guarantee that.
06:16But how do you feel about coming with us and talking to a couple of detectives who could?
06:23Are those detectives people you, like, trust to trust?
06:27I don't want to.
06:29All right.
06:32Mackenzie.
06:33Oh, it's just Kenzie.
06:35There's no Mick.
06:36And no last name either.
06:37It's a mononym, like Beyoncé.
06:39Or Zendaya.
06:41Kenzie.
06:42Okay.
06:43Sorry about that.
06:44Yeah.
06:45And we can assure you that all of this will stay confidential, okay?
06:49Even if there's, like, a trial.
06:51I'm just, like, really not trying to get subpoenaed by some creepy defense attorney.
06:55As a confidential informant, you will not have to appear in court.
06:59Okay.
07:01Amazing.
07:02I'm just, like, trying to protect my brand, you know?
07:06Okay, so that stamp symbol Shani showed me, that is Delulu U.
07:14Delulu U?
07:15Catchy, right?
07:16Unfortunately, they are my main competition in the 18 to 25 space.
07:21Parties for college kids.
07:22That little goofy smiley face is part of their brand ID.
07:26Super high cover, like $40 per person, which means they're clearing, like, 10K gate at some
07:33of these events with, like, practically no overhead.
07:36Oh, but you can't just, like, show up to one of these parties.
07:39You have to be verified through the app.
07:41Okay, where is the next party?
07:42I'm not sure.
07:43You have to be 25 and under to get on the app.
07:46Right.
07:46Okay.
07:48Oh!
07:48Oh, my God!
07:49Would you guys want to come on my podcast?
07:55Good work.
07:56Yeah?
07:56She was helpful.
07:57Only thing we need to figure out now is when the next party will be.
08:00Well, we can tell you Sean was actually able to create an account on the Delulu U app.
08:03Next party's tonight.
08:04Some old building on, uh, all staff in Dillard.
08:06Wait, tonight?
08:07Yeah.
08:08You thinking what I'm thinking?
08:09I am.
08:09You guys got CBCD 12?
08:11Yeah, of course.
08:12Why?
08:12You're gonna need them.
08:13Yeah, tonight you're going undercover.
08:36Who has always been a part of the coming of the day.
08:37So we've talked to the company that's throwing these Delulu U parties.
08:40They are legitimate.
08:41They have a liquor license.
08:42They have insurance.
08:43And it's a good bet that the drugs that killed those three kids came from these parties.
08:47But until we have proof, we can't shut them down.
08:49next party is tonight down in Southie if we want to stop this drug we need eyes
08:53on the inside that's where you two come in so the party will be happening here
08:57but me and Danny will be running operations from a vehicle here we will
09:01be tapped in to the party security feeds this is a recon mission the goal is to
09:05ID who's dealing but remember these things can turn fast so stay sharp and
09:09talk to people don't just stand there looking around that's how you get made
09:12and if you do get made don't run just stay drunk and stupid okay you two sure
09:19are you ready for this we got this we're ready okay we'll meet back here at 2100
09:25hours to prep dismissed now I need to talk to both of you in my office sure
09:33change of subjects I've got some good news I'm sure neither of you are gonna hate
09:38the dispatch wants to profile you two as BPD's new detective power team really
09:44it's kind of cool what do you mean it's kind of cool
09:48can't trust the media I mean you really want to do this they say one thing
09:52they print another it's awful oh come on it's a fluff piece see
09:55lighten up it's prints plus photos for online so I think the real question is
10:01what are we gonna wear because I think you have three suit options okay you have
10:04the gray the charcoal and the navy one that you were the dinner okay do I get a
10:08face on any of this no thanks for letting us decide as a team get on board Danny it's
10:16good for the department oh so in other words it's an order yes see it'll be fun
10:30I'm eating what is this it's what happens when you don't take your blood test seriously it's called
10:34heart disease I told you this morning yeah you said that you felt fine but your blood tests show
10:39that there could be something wrong with your heart I trust my body and my faith and I'm not
10:45about to start second-guessing either now this isn't about faith dad it's about medicine I've
10:51seen in my whole life people coming out of the hospital sicker than they were when they went in
10:56doctors finding problems ain't bothering nobody until they went looking really because I seem to
11:02remember a certain reverend who gave a sermon to a congregation filled with black men in their 70s
11:07about how they skip their checkups because they don't trust doctors they don't trust hospitals that's
11:14different and I think you said avoiding what ails you doesn't make it go away just makes it harder
11:19to heal you've got to practice what you preach dad I'm not your jury and this is not your closing
11:24argument just please take the test dad it's probably nothing but then at least we'll know and you can
11:30make an informed choice may what I love you but if you keep pushing this I'm gonna take my lunch
11:36to go
11:38let's talk about something else okay
11:49we got this right yeah we got this okay take a deep breath and relax a couple of college guys
11:56looking to have an awesome night that's it we're just looking for who's dealing the drug and if
12:00they're pros and they're gonna be using runners so the person that you pay and the person who gives
12:04you the drugs they're just little fish but we are looking for the big fish so keep your eye on
12:09the
12:09runners all right follow the money and see who's holding the product okay we won't let you down
12:15you know you won't now get in there you got this hey leave the notepad right all right good luck
12:28all right so what's eating you nothing is eating me I'm an excellent detective Danny
12:35it's nothing it's just with the notepad you know getting advice from my dad well if Sean wants cop
12:41advice he could do worse than Frank Reagan of course but Frank Reagan is not here oh you're jealous
12:46oh is that how it is okay I think so says the cop who wants their face plastered all over
12:53the
12:53newspapers that is about representation I want the little black and brown girls to see me wearing
12:59the badge and doing the work and making a difference or maybe you just want the whole world to see
13:03the
13:03amazing detective Lena silver and all of her glory solving crimes and pointing out her partner's
13:10insecurities my goodness just admit it you're a press junkie whatever okay we're in

13:56huh I guess it is okay Sean it looks like penny's a waitress but she may know who the drug
14:03dealers are

15:07your mystery drug is something new
15:09had to run it through the mass spec
15:11turns out it's n-ethanol-3
15:126-methylene-dioxy-benzoamphetamine
15:15catchy
15:16EMDA-XR then
15:18it's uh
15:19very impressive
15:19similar to MDMA
15:21but with an added carbon chain to extend the core structure
15:23wait
15:24uh
15:25well the point is
15:26whoever synthesized it is very clever
15:28real technical expertise
15:29it's also killing Boston kids
15:31that it is
15:32turns lethal when mixed with stimulants
15:34including caffeine and ADHD meds
15:36triggers serotonin syndrome
15:38all three victims shared the CYP2D6444 genotype
15:43poor metabolizers
15:447 to 10 percent of the population
15:46so this spreads
15:48a lot more people die

19:06I don't know.
19:07I thought he came this way.
19:09No, he didn't.
19:12We lost him.
19:18You're shaking up his knee right now?
19:20It was a rough night.
19:21Morning.
19:22Hey.
19:22Morning.
19:24Is the runner talking?
19:25Nah, he's not too bright, but he is definitely not talking.
19:28Somebody scared the crap out of him.
19:31How are you two holding up?
19:32We're good.
19:33I'm all right.
19:35Just, you know, wondering if there was more we could have done.
19:37My kid is dead because somebody wanted him dead.
19:40There's nothing you could do to change it.
19:44You got it?
19:45Yeah.
19:47It's good you want to save lives, but you cannot save everyone.
19:52How's Penny?
19:54She called 911 right away, but as soon as things got intense, she took off.
20:00We gotta get back to E-12.
20:02All right.
20:02Yeah.
20:07Hey, you guys did good.
20:08Keep your heads up.
20:10Thanks, sir.
20:11All right.
20:14Yeah, talk soon.
20:15I found something.
20:16You did?
20:17Mm-hmm.
20:17I did, too.
20:18Our stab victim was Noah Brennan.
20:21He was an MIT student who dropped out when his scholarship ended, and guess what he was studying?
20:26Chemical engineering?
20:27Neurobiochemistry.
20:28Neurobiochemistry.
20:28His sister said he was working some kind of job in Natick.
20:30Is he working on a Natick?
20:32Right.
20:33I just got word from CSRU.
20:35On your stabbing victim's clothes, they found traces of modified glycetic intermediate.
20:40It is a precursor chemical for multi-stage synthesis through methylation.
20:43What?
20:44You needed to make the drug.
20:47I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
20:49Okay.
20:49Mm-hmm.
20:49Uh, so then that suggests that Noah was involved in manufacturing the EMDA XR?
20:54Which is what he may have been working on in Natick.
20:57We should dig into that before the party tomorrow night.
20:59Best guess, he found out the drug was killing people and won it all.
21:03It became a liability.
21:04Then they saw us at the club, panicked, and took him out.
21:08Take a look at this.
21:11That's our killer.
21:13We just got to figure out who he is.
21:15Unfortunately, I may know someone who already does know who he is.
21:18Why unfortunately?
21:19That's what I was going to show you.
21:22Take a look.
21:26Clearly Penny knows this guy.
21:28How well does she know him?
21:38Nice to finally meet you.
21:41Sorry it's under these circumstances.
21:43It's a pretty awful thing to see somebody get stabbed.
21:46How are you holding up?
21:47The so-done ships are what?
21:48It's supposed to make me comfortable?
21:50So I'll spill everything?
21:52What's next?
21:52You're going to tell me we're just having a friendly chat?
21:54You know, the young man who was killed had a name.
21:59It was Noah.
22:01He had a family and they're grieving.
22:03I'm just trying to find the guy who did it.
22:06I'm just trying to find the guy who did it.
22:07This man.
22:09Whose friend seems to know you.
22:13In fact, the two of you seem to know each other pretty well.
22:17You want to tell me about him?
22:19Where I grew up, the rule about talking to cops was don't talk to cops.
22:25Luckily, the Fifth Amendment gives me the right to keep quiet.
22:28Well, luckily, I know that Sean talked to you last night and told you that people are dying and that
22:33the next party is tomorrow night.
22:36You seem like a smart kid.
22:38And my gut tells me you're not involved in this.
22:41But my gut also tells me that you know more than you're saying right now.
22:47So why don't you trust me and start talking?
22:51Trust you?
22:53Yeah.
22:53But like how you trusted me?
22:55You made Sean think I wasn't good enough.
22:57You've been against me since before you even met me.
23:00So remind me why I should trust you now.
23:09What's some girl you got there?
23:11I don't think Penny's my girl.
23:12Well, either way.
23:14Look, I'm frustrated too.
23:16But I didn't hear her say anything that wasn't true.
23:18Yeah, well, you obviously don't keep any secrets from each other.
23:23Let me talk to her.
23:25No.
23:27Interrogation is a skill that takes years and too many things could go wrong.
23:30Okay, well, she's already not helping.
23:31So if I blow it, what do we got to lose?
23:33I said no.
23:37I think if I approach her in a different way, she might be more willing to help.
23:45Okay.
23:47Give it a shot.
23:50This is very, super weird.
23:53Very extremely.
23:57So your dad thought with you in here it would get me talking?
23:59No.
24:00I don't want to talk to you.
24:02Are you okay?
24:03I mean, last night was...
24:05Honestly, I'm super stressed out, but...
24:07You're always super stressed out.
24:10Yeah, I guess, right?
24:11You know, we're just...
24:12We're used to this.
24:15But look, if you don't want to say anything, I get it.
24:22It's just last night.
24:24We watched somebody die right in front of us, and I don't want anyone else dying.
24:29I know you don't.
24:31But look, the last time I was in a room like this, I ended up in prison.
24:34I'm not trying to put you in that position, okay?
24:36I just need help.
24:38I need your help.
24:44The guy in the photo, the creep from VIP, that's Jeremy Meyer.
24:50Grew up three streets over from me.
24:52He's not a dealer, but...
24:54He's very dangerous, Sean.
24:57I mean, really.
25:01He works for his uncle at a shop on the harbor, Dorchester machine.
25:05You can find him there.
25:10Look, I don't want anyone else dying, either.
25:13Yeah.
25:15You should get some rest.
25:17You look exhausted.
25:19Yeah.
25:21Yeah.
25:31Okay, there's our guy.
25:33Penny was right.
25:34Mm-hmm.
25:37Looks like that might be a gun on his front right pocket.
25:42Now's our shot.
25:43Let's roll.
25:45Let's roll.
26:08Hey, hands off the bell.
26:10Hands in the air right now.
26:11Now!
26:14Don't even think about it.
26:16My trigger's closer.
26:19Hands up!
26:20Damn it!
26:22All right, all right.
26:22Spread your legs.
26:23Spread your legs!
26:28Is that the precursor for the drugs?
26:30Looks like it.
26:32They're both empty.
26:33Maybe they're all used up.
26:35I wonder how much of that drug you could make with all these barrels, huh?
26:38Probably enough to flood every city down the East Coast.
26:41Oh, it's over the
27:01As it goes.
27:09Notice of reward from your drug control unit.
27:13$5,000 reward for information in drug-related cases,
27:17which is what I gave you, right?
27:19Yeah, I guess this actually qualifies.
27:22I mean, not to seem selfish, but I am a businesswoman.
27:27Sweet Jonah.
27:28Am I so glum, my chum?
27:30I just can't stop thinking about this EMDA stuff.
27:32It's a complete nightmare.
27:34Last night, we watched a guy get stabbed to death because of it,
27:36and we found two more dead guys in their apartment yesterday morning,
27:39and now apparently their grandma can't afford to have funerals for them.
27:43Wow.
27:45That is really, really sad.
27:50Well, if you can't fix everything, fix something.
27:56I wasn't counting on that money anyway.
27:59I think we should give it to that grandma
28:01for, like, funeral expenses or whatever.
28:04Wait, you want to give the money away?
28:05This isn't some weird sort of social media thing.
28:08You're not going to try to film it, right?
28:10Oh, my God, no.
28:11Not for socials.
28:12Don't be gross.
28:13It's just, like, how could I sleep at night
28:15if I kept that money for myself?
28:18No.
28:19No, this is fate.
28:21This is the universe manifesting a solution.
28:24Oh.
28:25Oh.
28:26We should totally bring it to her together.
28:28The three of us.
28:30She needs to know people actually care.
28:32And we are those people.
28:35Let me tell you what it looks like to us.
28:37Noah was the brains.
28:38He came up with the drug.
28:40You brought the muscle with your crew.
28:42And this guy,
28:44who we need you to help us identify,
28:46why he was the money guy.
28:47Except he was a bit of a loose cannon.
28:50I mean, by the looks of this picture,
28:51it's possible you'd even know he was going to stab Noah.
28:54With the chemicals in the truck,
28:55we already have you on conspiracy to distribute.
28:58But since you were with Noah when he was killed,
29:01selling drugs,
29:02the DA can charge you with murder, too.
29:04Screw you.
29:06Both of you.
29:07No rat.
29:10Stop talking right now.
29:12Is San Francisco in here?
29:16Detectives, I need the room.
29:17Oh, that's dope.
29:19Stop talking.
29:20Detectives?
29:21Just confirming this is your lawyer.
29:23Yeah.
29:24Let's go to my lawyer.
29:29I'd like you to go through the hearing transcripts
29:31on that day
29:31and see if his timeline would hold up
29:33on the cross, okay?
29:38Hi, Dad.
29:40Hey.
29:42I owe you an apology.
29:45I was a defensive yesterday
29:47and you were trying to help.
29:49Oh, Dad.
29:52I've already lost Mom.
29:54I'm just scared I'm gonna lose you, too.
29:56I'm afraid, too.
29:57Not just for dying,
29:59but what'll happen to my congregation?
30:01To Sarah and Lena, Jonah,
30:04your sister, you?
30:06I love it when people lean on me.
30:08That's why we need you to do this.
30:11The men in your congregation,
30:12they look up to you as an example.
30:15The rest of us do, too.
30:18I'll make the appointment.
30:19Okay.
30:19But I'm going alone.
30:21It's a deal.
30:27Are you texting Penny or not?
30:29I don't know.
30:31Okay.
30:32All right.
30:32First off, dude,
30:33what is going on between you two?
30:35I just stopped texting her.
30:36Aw.
30:37Like, in a really uncool way.
30:38Like, I just stopped.
30:40I'm not really sure why.
30:42Penny's awesome.
30:43She's sweet.
30:43She's funny.
30:44Likes all the same nerdy stuff as me.
30:46Okay.
30:46Well, she was kind of right.
30:48You do suck for ghosting her.
30:50But if you like her, why?
30:51There's a few reasons, okay?
30:52Like, when we were dealing
30:53with the Ronan Flaherty stuff,
30:55I wanted to go help you.
30:56She tried to convince me not to.
30:58And clearly, my dad doesn't think
31:00her and I are a good fit.
31:01So, maybe we're just incompatible.
31:05Boo!
31:07Tomato, tomato, tomato!
31:09What?
31:12Johnny-Poo,
31:13you could not be reading this more wrong.
31:16That girl, Penny,
31:17she didn't tell you to not help Jonah
31:19because she's some evil monster.
31:23Her best friend left her high and dry
31:25and she ended up in actual prison?
31:27She's trying to protect you.
31:29Her trauma is telling her lies.
31:31Okay?
31:32So, she's a work in progress.
31:35Newsflash, girl.
31:35So are you.
31:37So, what you have to do is super simple.
31:40Grow up.
31:41Get over yourself.
31:43Go apologize to her.
31:44In person.
31:45And, like, a good apology, too.
31:48Like, I'm sorry,
31:49and then say what you did wrong.
31:51And then, tell her you like her.
31:56Wow.
31:57I think you actually might be right.
31:59Of course I am in the Virgo.
32:01Right.
32:04You know, Sean did good today.
32:06Getting that info?
32:07Mm-hmm.
32:08Chip off the old blog.
32:09Hmm.
32:10By that, I mean your dad or your granddad.
32:14Yeah, I'm very funny.
32:16I do think I am a little rough on him sometimes,
32:18and maybe that's why he's turning to my dad for advice.
32:22Well, it's like you told me.
32:25If you're rough on him,
32:26then it's because you want him to be great at this.
32:28Yeah.
32:29Speaking of being great at things,
32:31my dad was great with the press, unlike me.
32:34Well, though, it's different than being a press junkie, of course.
32:38You're back to that?
32:38Yeah.
32:39I've practiced your answers in the mirror, yeah.
32:42Look alive.
32:43I got something good.
32:45So I dug into the fancy lab equipment
32:47you would need to synthesize this drug.
32:49Two things.
32:50One, very expensive.
32:52Whoever Santos is, he's got money.
32:54Two, it draws lots of power,
32:57especially to cook through the volume of chemicals
32:59found in the drums in that truck.
33:00So I had the brick pull P&E data from the past few days.
33:0536 locations show power spikes that could match.
33:07Well, no, my sister said that he was out in Natick.
33:09Maybe it's one of these three.
33:11Jeremy's truck had an easy pass.
33:14Pulled the records on it.
33:15Let's see.
33:16Got a lot of driving around Boston,
33:18but right here, look at this.
33:21He exited the Mass Pike right near Natick.
33:24Within one mile of this power spike.
33:26Let's see.
33:28It is an industrial repair shop.
33:30Perfect place for a drug lab.
33:31Go shut it down.
33:57Come on.
33:58Hey!
34:00Cover me. Cover me.
34:15Hey! Hey!
34:26I'm going for Mikey!
34:28I'll cover you!
34:28Police!
34:29Drop your weapons!
34:31Drop your weapons right now!
34:33Hands off.
34:35Come here.
34:38Give me your hands, Mikey, punk.
34:40My name is Michael Santos III.
34:42I want to speak to my lawyer,
34:44Lawrence Jenkins at Jenkins Price.
34:45Hey, get your lawyer.
34:47Good.
34:48I'll be out before you know it.
34:49Yeah?
34:50That's what you think.
34:51Come on.
34:56Uh, I hope you're not trying to tackle me again.
34:59I'd make a joke about that, but, uh, I still feel bad about it.
35:02Yeah, I mean, that was crazy.
35:04I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
35:06For your dad dragging me to the police station for a literal interrogation?
35:10Or...
35:11No, I, uh...
35:13I wanted to apologize for how things ended between us.
35:16It's no big deal.
35:17I didn't think I deserved somebody like you.
35:20I mean, you're very cool.
35:21You know this.
35:23I crashed out, left before I could get left sort of thing, and...
35:27You deserved better than that.
35:29I apologize.
35:32Yeah.
35:33You're an idiot.
35:35Clearly.
35:37Um, well, I'm gonna finish my run, but, uh...
35:41Maybe I will see you at that Kelly Thompson panel after all.
35:51All that aside, I think the biggest takeaway is that we actually like each other.
35:55Which, believe it or not, can make or break a partnership.
35:58Makes sense.
35:59And now to you, Detective Silver.
36:01Time for the big gotcha question.
36:04Oh.
36:04I warned you.
36:05I did some digging, and I found this from an Emerging Artists Showcase back in 2005.
36:14Uh-huh.
36:16Do you still draw?
36:18Wow.
36:20Uh...
36:22Uh, no.
36:23I...
36:24Nope.
36:24I gave that up years ago.
36:26Why quit when you're this talented?
36:28Uh, well...
36:31Sometimes you realize that, uh, a part of yourself doesn't match who you're trying to become.
36:36My real calling is police work, and...
36:40It actually reminds me of one of me and Danny's biggest cases.
36:44Uh, the homicide with Senator Lowell.
36:49And then she said I might see her at the Fan Expo next month, which kind of felt like an
36:53invite.
36:53So...
36:55Yeah, it was good.
36:56So, in other words, we'll be seeing more of her around.
37:00I hope it's not weird, because I know you're not the biggest fan.
37:04I'm...
37:05Wasn't a fan of her rap sheet.
37:07It's nothing personal.
37:09If I'm being honest, she's a pretty tough kid, and she may have actually won me over in the interrogation
37:13room.
37:14That's the secret, huh?
37:15Pushing back in the interrogation room?
37:16Well, I like the fact that she makes you step up.
37:19And I respect the fact that you can apologize when you're wrong.
37:24You're becoming a hell of a cop.
37:27Even if you don't always do things the way I do.
37:32Look, you're doing a great job.
37:35If talking to your grandfather and getting advice about, you know, taking notes with your notepad and all that stuff
37:43makes you a better cop, then I'm all for it.
37:45This thing?
37:46Yeah, that thing.
37:47Honestly, I've been FaceTiming Grandpa more because you and I have been working together a lot, and I just wanted
37:52to show you what I could do.
37:5485% of what's in there is stuff you taught me.
37:57Either way, I'm very proud of you.
38:01Well, thank you.
38:07So then, Jonah walks up to this runner.
38:11Like, hey, somebody told me you could help me score that new stuff.
38:16It's like disturbingly smooth.
38:20No, that was not a compliment.
38:21You were way too comfortable buying drugs.
38:23I was undercover.
38:25Yeah, but did you see how fast that transaction happened?
38:27Yep.
38:27It's a natural.
38:29A little too natural, though.
38:31All right, I don't understand how I'm getting roasted for being amazing at my job.
38:34But all jokes inside, the two of you did such good work on this case.
38:39Like, we dismantled a would-be drug empire.
38:41We arrested all the bad guys.
38:42We only got closure for three different families.
38:44It was thanks to both of you.
38:46Couple of future detectives, if you ask me.
38:48Very well done, both of you.
38:50Absolutely.
38:51It's your first undercover-up, and you two crushed it.
38:54Cheers.
38:55Cheers.
38:56All right.
38:56Cheers.
38:57Cheers.
38:58I have some news of my own to share.
39:03Not quite as happy, I'm afraid.
39:06The tests confirm what may warn me about.
39:11I have something called aortic stenosis.
39:15Well, what does that mean?
39:16What's the prognosis?
39:17Well, it could be mild, or it could be severe.
39:20The doctors just don't know.
39:23More tests next week.
39:24Okay, well, if you need rides to appointments or anything.
39:29We'll help out we can, Grandpa.
39:32Yeah, whatever you need.
39:33Yeah, Grandpa, you're gonna be okay.
39:35We got you.
39:36Always.
39:38Listen, I appreciate it.
39:40But the one thing the doctors kept saying over and over
39:43was how lucky I was that I came in when I did.
39:47And I had to tell them it wasn't luck.
39:51It was my daughter's assistance.
39:55So, thank you, mate.
40:01I love you.
40:06Hey.
40:09How are you holding up with all of this?
40:11Mmm.
40:12Gotta take it one day at a time, huh?
40:16Nothing else that we can do.
40:17Yeah.
40:18It's been a lot.
40:22So, today, I had an interview,
40:24and the reporter had that old charcoal that I did.
40:27You remember the one with the flowers?
40:29From the Emerging Artist Showcase?
40:31Yeah.
40:31I always liked that drawing.
40:33Hm.
40:34Your sister, she was so jealous of your talent.
40:37Oh.
40:38So was I.
40:39What?
40:40No.
40:42I always thought the art came from my birth father.
40:46I resented that.
40:49And Danny's been teasing me all day
40:50about wanting to get my name in the paper,
40:52calling me a press junkie.
40:56But he's right.
40:59Part of me does want to be in the paper,
41:01and today I figured out why.
41:05It's because I dream of him seeing it.
41:10Reading about me.
41:13Realizing he was wrong to leave us.
41:17Wrong to abandon me.
41:19Lena, what happened back then?
41:22It was difficult.
41:22It was painful.
41:24I know.
41:25But it turned out to be the best thing for our family.
41:27Now your grandfather is sick.
41:31This is not the right time to be diving into this.
41:33For no reason.
41:35Of course there's a reason.
41:38I mean, with everything happening with Grandpa,
41:41is it not a painful reminder that tomorrow is not promised?
41:45There is a man out there who shares half of my DNA.
41:52And I don't know who he is.
41:56Don't I deserve to know why the...
41:58the first man who was supposed to love me didn't?
42:05Don't I at least deserve to know what his name is?
42:08Lena, please.
42:14Tell me the truth.
42:16You gotta trust me.
42:18I will tell you.
42:20But not tonight.
42:24One crisis at a time.
42:42Stay tuned for...
42:43Next Friday.
42:44Let's show NYPD how we do it here in Beantown.
42:47Maybe we can make some pleasuring with all your business.
42:50To you, sir.
42:5180 trips around the sun.
42:52Let's get this party started.
42:55Boston Blue.
42:55It's all new.
42:56CBS next Friday, 10-9 Central.
42:59A new FBI.
43:00Followed by a new CIA.
43:02CBS Monday.
