Bosch: Framing Season One

Here are my original notes on the rain that opens and closes season one of Bosch:

Season 1 Episode 1 of Bosch opens with Harry Bosch and Jerry Edgar on a stake-out. It's gonna rain, Bosch says, and the game will be rained out.

The last episode of Season 1 ends with Jerry Edgar telling Bosch that the rain will come and wash away all the crap.

The second or third time I came back to those notes I said No, there's more to it than that. I watched those episodes again and wrote down the relevant conversations.

The opening words of S1E1:

(we hear a baseball game on the radio, in the background.)
Harry: Gonna rain like a bastard tonight.
Jerry: You're crazy.
Harry: Need it. Wash all the shit away.

The closing words of S1E10:

Jerry: The rain will come along, wash all this shit away.
Harry: Right, all into the big gutter and out to sea.
Jerry: Go easy, brother.
(Harry nods.)

For the record, the "big gutter" that Harry mentions in episode 10 is introduced midway thru the season, 20 minutes into S1E4, and again about 18 minutes later.
