Bosch: Legacy season 3, episode 5 begins in earnest with Harry Bosch at the scene of Sheila Walsh's murder. As the LAPD starts their investigation, Bosch has a gut feeling that there's more to this case. He suspects a greater motive for Sheila's killing and thinks the disappearance of the Gallagher family somehow involves her. This theory gets stronger as more evidence comes forward.
Yes, Harry Bosch finally discovers what became of the missing Gallagher family in Bosch: Legacy season 3, episode 5. But the truth he uncovers might cost him more than peace of mind— it might pull him further into the web of deceit created by Preston Borders and put a bullseye on his back.
Sheila had just discovered financial irregularities within the Gallagher firm, and she is probably the one who informed Mr. Gallagher about it before she and the rest of the family disappeared. Bosch has reason to believe they were murdered, and once more, he's hot on the trail.

Bosch: Legacy season 3: A buried truth unearthed

Working with Mo Bassi, Bosch targets a BaCo truck once owned by Finbar McShane— a character becoming more pivotal to the case. Although the truck was extensively washed, it contained a concealed GPS tracker. From drone surveillance, Bosch and Mo track the truck's last location and stumble upon a horrifying find: the buried corpses of the Gallagher family.
This shocking moment confirms Bosch’s worst fears. What began as a missing persons case is now a homicide, and McShane, seen fleeing the area in a van, becomes the prime suspect in the orchestrated cover-up.
Bosch: Legacy season 3: New clues and old enemies
At his apartment, Bosch discovers a burner phone planted under the couch. He texts a picture of the phone to his old partner, Jimmy Robertson, and then calls him, inviting him to meet up to discuss over drinks. Bosch wants to get his name cleared in the Dockweiler case, which has tormented him since the death of Preston Borders.
Meanwhile, Maddie Bosch is questioned by Internal Affairs regarding an odd phone call she got from Borders. When her father comes to take her home from the station, he drops a bombshell: he reveals that he had instructed Curtis Dignan, a retired confidential informant, to make life in prison a living hell for Dockweiler.
Bosch thinks that someone must have informed Borders about this, which led him to have Dockweiler murdered and attempt to pin the crime on Bosch.
Bosch: Legacy season 3: The Rita Tedesco breakthrough
Detectives Jimmy Robertson and Perry Lopez won't remain idle during their mandatory time off. Instead, they pursue a lead, which leads them to Rita Tedesco, the now-caught wife of Preston Borders.
After surrendering peacefully, Tedesco is arrested. Under interrogation, she denies any plot by Bosch and Borders to murder Dockweiler. It's a pivotal admission, though whether she's lying remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Honey Chandler officially wins the election and becomes Los Angeles's District Attorney.
This political shift may influence how quickly Bosch’s name is cleared, especially since the former DA, Archer, planned to stall any progress until post-election. Maddie Bosch and her partner, Vasquez, remain chasing leads in the city's string of follow-home burglaries.
A single detail hangs menacingly: one of the suspects, Albert, is Vasquez's cousin— a relationship she's still unaware of. The twist, earlier revealed by the showrunner, primes a potentially explosive reveal down the road.
A gut-wrenching final scene
In the show's last, jaw-dropping seconds, Robertson is meeting with Bosch for a drink and confesses that he's leaked the case files regarding Dockweiler's murder to journalist Scott Anderson. While he afterward places an order for food at a stand, a masked shooter holds up the cashier, then inexplicably turns and fires the gun at Robertson point-blank.
