"Captain Latvia" is the fourth Christmas episode of the police comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, produced for FOX and aired as the tenth episode of its fourth season.
Synopsis[]
Boyle is determined to find an action figure, Captain Latvia, for Nikolaj as a Christmas gift. However, the figure is from Latvia and is difficult to get. Despite having ordered it a month ago, the figure hasn't arrived.
Jake decides to help Boyle in finding the toy. Confronting the owner, they find that the Latvian mob is behind it. Infiltrating a ring to get information, they steal a pad that can lead to the headquarters of the mob. Jake begins noting that Boyle is putting himself in danger for the toy and knocks him unconscious. After he awakens, Jake tells him that the best present he can give is being alive for his son. While Boyle leaves to be with Nikolaj, Jake leads a raid on the headquarters. He later shows up at Boyle's house to give Nikolaj another present: a police cop figure, which Nikolaj likens to Boyle.
Meanwhile, Holt and the rest of the precinct compete against the officers on an annual Christmas carol singing competition. They find that a perp named Patrick has a beautiful voice and decide to include him in their group for the competition. He has a panic attack and flees the stage. Finding him more open when drinking alcohol, they let him get drunk in order to overcome his stage fright and sing. However, the competition still doesn't work as he intentionally distorts the lyrics and insults New York. While the squad is smarting about their humiliation, Scully says that the important thing about Christmas is being together as a family. At first, they make fun of him, but they later join him in singing carols outside Boyle's house.
