Ronan Flaherty killed Judge Ben Silver. Everyone assumed it was because the judge put him in prison. It actually might be connected to organized crime. Lena was looking into it. She was doing everything by the book when her brother went rogue. Ben wasn’t just some judge. He was their father. They loved him. They mourned him. They wanted justice for him. It was a dirty ADA that got Flaherty released. He tarnished the case by being dirty and it got the conviction overturned. Ronan was released. Jonah then began following him. He threatened him. He hit him and got jumped for it.
Jonah felt he had to be doing something. He couldn’t go home while Ronan walked around like nothing happened. He continued to follow him. He followed him into a building where he claimed he saw a man shoot and kill Ronan. Jonah also claimed that he fired at the guy. It looked suspicious because he was found covered in blood and standing over Ronan’s body. Lena as his sister told him to stop talking. She advised him to not discuss what happened with IA without a lawyer or his union rep.
Only this was Jonah. He couldn’t keep still. He followed everyone’s advice…at first. His mom as District Attorney said no one with the last name Silver could work Ronan’s murder. She gave it to Danny. Danny officially retired from the NYPD. He became a part of the Boston Police Department. He worked the case. His son was given leave so he had Sean shadowing him. Sean initial reaction to finding Jonah standing over a dead body was to lie. He claimed he saw the third man like Jonah did. It thankfully was verified that Jonah didn’t kill him.
Jonah’s gun wasn’t a match for the bullets used to kill Ronan. Danny also figured out something else thanks to the media. The media began replaying Ben’s death on the news. They had footage of it. The footage showed that the shooter was left-handed. It’s a problem because Ronan was right-handed. Ronan didn’t kill Ben. Someone else did. They talked Ronan into accepting a plea deal and so it never went to trial. This on top of a dirty Assistant District Attorney handling the case meant no one questioned the story.
What happened afterwards? Did Ronan want more money once he was released? Did Ronan complain about Jonah being all up in his business? Either way he was lured to that warehouse because there was a fourth man. There was the man that killed Ronan and the man that Ronan followed into the building. Jonah revealed once he spoke to IA without waiting for his sisters. He spoke to them and they cleared him. He even received his gun back. And only then did he mention the fourth man.
Jonah followed Ronan that night because Ronan was following another man. The other guy goes by the street name of Rabbit. Rabbit collected the money from a protection racket. He was in and out of locations all night. Ronan followed him to all of them until they came to the warehouse. Rabbit went in. Jonah saw Ronan pull out a gun and that’s when he called for backup. He made the call only he didn’t wait for it. He followed Ronan in. He saw the killer shoot Ronan and Rabbit fled. It was almost as if he knew he was being followed.
Rabbit lured Ronan directly into the path of the killer. Now, someone was cleaning up. Rabbit was another loose end so by time Danny found him – it was already too late. He saw someone drop a bomb into Rabbit’s car. It blew up. Sean stayed behind to pull Rabbit out of the car. Danny tried to follow the killer on a motorcycle. It only gets worse from there. Sarah looked over her father case file. There were several pages missing. The Attorney General’s Office buried crucial evidence because it didn’t fit the story that Ronan killed Ben.
The evidence was DNA found in the murder’s facemask that was ditched. The AG was already looking at Ronan. He didn’t want anything to taint the win so he buried the evidence. He went as far as to transfer his paralegal to a different department as well. The Silvers also came at this case in different ways. All of what they found pointed to Ronan’s fellow Red Saint gang member, Doyle O’Keefe. He was the same man that set fire to a housing development for a big shot named David Laughlin.
Laughlin was from the area where the Red Saints hang out. He knew all about them. He used them to force out the tenants and Judge Ben Silver stopped him in court. He was going to keep stopping him if he wasn’t killed. Laughlin then used the Red Saints to get rid of Ben. With Ben out of the picture, he was allowed to buy up property and force out poor tenants. Leaving him more properties to buy. O’Keefe carried out the hit. Laughlin ordered. Laughlin grew up with O’Keefe’s father. He used that to score himself a cheap hitman.
Everyone helped put this case together. This included Mae. She went into her late husband’s old desk and she found out the last case he worked on was Laughlin’s. Both O’Keefe and Laughlin were soon arrested. They will face life in prison.
Danny also wore his new Boston PD badge to dinner at the Silvers and they were all happy for him.
The End
