- Cheers.

He needs a trach.
How Close are we?

- He doesn't have eight minutes.

Okay, give me the trach kit.



I did What any doctor
would've done in my situation.

You're not a surgeon anymore.

If I hadn't intervened,
then he could've died.

You pull this again, forget surgery,

you can kiss your EMT job
goodbye. too.

This is Tyler Brandon Mills,
one of the Patriotic Guardians.

This Is the man we believe
Is responsible

for the Federal Annex attack.

Do we have any idea Where he is?

Last known address was a dead-end,
but we've located his parents.

He's been staying here on and off
for the past couple of months

In the basement.
We last saw him three days ago.

Don't go too far.

Elsie?



Elsie?

Elsie?

Elsie!

Elsie!

A nationwide manhunt is underway
for this man, Tyler Brandon Mills,

in connection With the federal
building gas attack which Left...

We never should have bumped him
up from weather. Sibilant esses.

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.
Why didn't you call me?

You're the boss.
Bosses are never Late.

You heard the guy,
"Nationwide manhunt."

Who do you think's In charge
of that thing?

I ordered you pancakes.
- No, I'm sorry, I don't have time.

You're going to catch Tyler Brandon
Mills today, huh?

Nuh-uh-uh.
No extra tips from me.

Not even a little one?

I promise you, when we catch
the guy, you will get the exclusive.

I already have the exclusive.

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go.

Got a forty-year-old female.
Abdominal trauma.

Vitals are unstable.
Call a trauma panel and...

Thanks. I'll take it from here.

Seriously, man?

Dude, What is up with you?

Canto, Where are we on Mills?

They're running his photo
on all the Channels.

We have eyes on his parents,
his apartment

and we're watching his financials.

Tips are pouring in,
but nothing's solid yet.

Anything real, come straight to me.
Where are Durand and Gunnarsen?

They're in the conference room.

"The Hobbit".

Were you expecting "Mein Kampf"?

You two, I want updates in ten.

Tyler Is smart. He likes fantasy,
military history.

The politics came later.

After he was disqualified
from the army.

Yeah. He wanted to be the big man
with the big gun.

Couldn't pull it off.

He has every iteration
of video game consoles.

Every first-person shooter.

My son wants this stuff
but my Wife's not having it.

Smart woman.
- Ha.

Take a look at this.

He has an admirer.

Had an admirer. These are
from 10 years ago.

Liza Tutee. Was she on the list
of friends and family?

No, she's new.

Day one with Byrne go all right?

Yeah, she's sharp. Why?
You expecting a problem?

No.

Before she, um...

She was one of the best.

Then Why are we having
this conversation?

Because I worry about her.
Because she's my friend.

Look, guys I served with in Iraq
were broken by Less.

And she's still here.

Listen. You're uniquely qualified
to recognize

that she's struggling,
so, keep an eye on her for me.

Let me know if anything comes up.

Okay.

His pulse is thready.
How much longer to the hospital?

Still ten minutes out.

There's no exit wound.
Bullet's still inside.

I'm gonna have to take it out.
- You can't!

Yeah, but if it embolizes,
it'll go straight to his heart.

Who even knows
if an embolism will happen?

I know it's unlikely, but still.

Case Closed. All right?
Apply pressure, give fluids

and get his ass to a real doctor.
That's our job.

Jack?
- Yeah, all right.

You kill that, I kill you.

There's no need for violence,
we can brew some more.

Sorry. This case is destroying me.

I slept under my desk last night.

Your nobody's case sounds
Like a vacation right about now.

You know Why they call
the victims "nobodies"?

No.

So the rest of us can feel safe
with only one killer in town.

We're all nobodies, Canto.

Hey.

Hey.
- What you working on?

I've been looking into the fentanyl.

I'm not getting anywhere
tracking his supplier.

Do you know you can get pure
fentanyl online? Dark web.

They mail it to you. Tiny packages.

But none of the dealers wanna be
known for It

'Cause it's bad for business,
but it's not hard to come by.

I mean, his MO's the same
every time.

It's Like he's not even trying
to hide that it's him.

But a fentanyl shot, it's Like using
a cannon instead of a gun

to do the job, right?

Okay. Spit balling here.
Let's go With the theory

that the vice were easy targets
Chosen at random, right?

Valerie MCNair, she's practically
a vagrant travelling alone.

Farley's a sleazy Lawyer,
door's always open.

Rivera isolated himself
by trying to start a turf war.

So, if we start by looking
at the vice and Where they were

in the week leading up to...
You know, before they died...

No, no, no. Wait.
Rivera wasn't an easy target.

Why?
- He was a part of a gang.

He had a Glock in his waistband,
he had a 22 in his sock.

I mean... What if it's not just
about, Like, random targets?

What if, uh... What if they're
actually connected?

They're all In the system, right?
- Farley wasn't.

Yeah, but Farley worked
for the system.

Cal Isaac.

Yeah.

That's BPD. There's been
another lethal injection.

Who?
- Congressman Eli Ramos.

Not an easy target, is he?

A congressman is a big leap
from a bus-bench Lawyer.

The party's next great hope.

Yeah. And are those hives?

Let's flag it and send it to the ME.

So it's the same MO.
- Mm-hmm.

Our killer's precise. But Why is he
Choosing all of these people?

I mean look, wallet, fancy car keys.

Right out in the open
but the killer Left them behind.

So it's not a robbery.

He gets inside, he does his job
and he gets out.

Sounds like a professional
Tony.

Thanks.

Hey, have the unis spoken
to the neighbors?

Yeah, they're canvassing right now.

Ah, shit.

You want me to bring
the car around the back?

No.

We're good.

Okay.

Agent Byrne,
What's it Like to be back?

How did you get Clearance?
- Officer, keep 'em back.

Agent Byrne!
- Clear the path.

Get out of the way.
Get out of the way!

Can you handle this?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I just didn't expect to be a part
of this story.

Byrne.

Byrne. You alright?

Yeah... I've...

The autopsy reports are just...
getting to me.

I think I'm just gonna call It
a day.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you having?

Vodka,neat
- Mike, a vodka, neat.

80, um... What do you need?

I wanted to see you.

I don't Like how we Left things.

Okay. Why did you call?

I just wanted to hang out.
Try to be normal, you know?

Can we get out of here?

Yeah, uh, okay. Um, uh...

You don't want a drink first?

Come on.
- Sure. Wait.

Are you okay?

Shocking news as Congressman
Eli Ramos

was found dead in his home today.

The Boston-born representative
was only 42 years old.

The FBI has declined to make
any comment

regarding the nature of his death.

Asty!. Hey, Asty.

Hey.

What happened to that patient
I brought in earlier? The GSW?

Mm-hmm, uh, bullet embolism.
They took him to surgery

but he didn't make it.
There was nothing we could do.

Thank you.

Hey, it's me.

Hey.

Hey.

Is that your first or your fifth?

Um... I shouldn't have called.

I'm glad you did.

So?

Today was tough and...

Well, when things get tough,
I usually head to the bar.

But you didn't get a drink.
It's progress, not perfection.

You know, that, um...
That sounds Like program talk.

Al-Anon, or actually, Alateen.

Uh, y-your mom or your dad?

Try both. Come on, I'll tell you
about it over Lunch.

You're buying.

Okay.

What have we got?

Liza Tutee. 25.
Lives with her parents In Lowell.

She's an orderly
at a retirement home.

Isolated, no peers to speak of.

She Lived on social media,
but went dark three days ago.

Huge blow for her nine followers.

That was the last day Tyler Brandon
Mills was at his parents' house.

The same day, Liza made a giant
purchase

from Bedford Sporting Goods.

We pulled the receipt.
Propane canisters,

two sleeping bags
and a Whole lot of ammo.

Well, that's enough for me.
Let's get a tail on Ms. Tutee.

Hey. good morning.
- Hey. Are you on your way in?

Yeah, What's up?

Well, don't go directly
to the office.

They found another body.

Boston's gonna Lose its mind.

So... two bodies in 24 hours.
When did this happen?

Housekeeper found him
this morning.

Wife, she was Clubbing,
she stayed at a friend's house.

Unis are doing
the notifications now.

Did we turn off the cameras?

No. They were out
when we got here.

80, Bishop had 223 career sacks,
three Championship Wins.

Thank you.

250 pounds of pure muscle.

Yet our killer took him down.

How?

He was a beast.

Birthmark or rash?

There's another one.

Cal.

Look at that.

Looks Like a needle.
Must have snapped off.

Killer made a mistake.

Clay fought back.
- Mm-hmm.

The killer'd have to be
a big guy himself.

Or a woman... using a different
approach to get Close.

You're 27.

Hey. Hey. can we have a minute?

Okay.

You're okay.

Sounded Like that was... That was
pretty tight out there, huh?

Yeah, getting that hostage out safe
was just...

Um, she was drugged
but the medic said she'll be okay.

Listen, Nick, every team
has a leader

and Boston is gonna sleep safe
tonight because of you.

Don't you forget that.
- Yeah.

Okay?
- Okay.

Okay.

Thanks, Derek.

Hey. Um... thank you.

You saved my life today.

Did I?

Tyler had us pinned down
and he wasn't gonna stop.

I got him on the reload,
he was too slow.

He wasn't military trained.

Packing more heat
than he knew What to do with.

Which I knew...
because of the profile.

And tomorrow,
we have to talk to him.

Yeah.

Nice work today, Agent Durand.
Good job.

I thought you were taking
the day off?

Great job.
- Thank you. Thanks.

Where's the house-keeper now?
- She's...

Just Letting you know,
I'll be consulting on this case

In a permanent capacity now.
- Excellent.

Right. Where are we?

The crime scene... is immaculate.

There Is no DNA, no, uh...
No fingerprints.

It's not a robbery. He times his
entrances and exits perfectly.

He cuts the cameras,
he knows What he's doing.

So, he's not Leaving us much
to go on. Sounds Like a pro.

If he Is a pro,
then who Is he working for?

And Why is he Choosing
these people?

What's their connection, right?
We started With the theory

that they might have met
in the system.

But the only time Bishop was
in court was his two divorces.

I mean, if we dig deep enough,
we'll find a connection.

Okay. Sounds like you may have
a good shot.

Thanks.

Okay, okay, okay.
Uh... Bishop.

Bishop, Bishop... Bishop, Bishop...

The...

The rash or the hives, um...
- What about the hives?

What if it was environmentally
induced, you know, Like poison ivy?

Marco had 'em.
According to his autopsy report...

Farley had it, too.

Okay. Uh... Bishop.
Where's Bishop's file?

There.
- Nope.

There, there.

Yep.
Yeah.

He had it, too. I thought it was
a port-Wine stain and...

It's a rash.
Valerie Chandris had it.

Maybe they were all
in the same place?

Let's see if they crossed paths.

Hey,honey.

Alice?

Hey?

Hey.

Where is she, buddy?

Where Is she?
Did she have to work today?

Stay.

Sleep here tonight.

What are you doing?

I just found something.

I gotta pee.

Okay.

Don't move.

I found it in the trash can.

What is this?

Sodium pentothal.

You shooting up truth serum?

I'm trying to remember, Tom.

ideas

of what danger is, Tommy. just...
- Come here.

Get off, please.

Why are you being this way?

I don't think you should be here.
I think you should get going, Tom.

You really gotta go.

Don't do this. Don't...
- There's nothing here for you.

This Is who I am.
-80, what?

Nobody normal would want me.
- I want you!

Then you gotta be crazy.

I can't get to you.

Do you see this? I can't swim
through the shit in my head

and it's killing me.

That's bullshit. Come here.
