Blue Bloods (2010–…): Season 12, Episode 12 - The Reagan Way - full transcript

[elevator bell dings]

Morning, Baker.

Archbishop Kearns
is in your office, waiting.

[sighs]

Finally.

It's 6:00 in the morning.
What're you doing here?

I couldn't sleep.

Clearly.
[coffee pouring]

Thank you.

[footsteps retreating]

[door opens]



[door closes]
So?

I saw your press conference
last night, Frank.

The one where
you announced an arrest

in the Stephanie Miller case.

Yeah, we arrested a guy,
Lamar White. What about it?

He didn't do it.

[chuckles]

His fingerprints were
on the knife, and he confessed.

Somebody else murdered
Stephanie Miller.

Oh?

Trust me.
You've got the wrong man.

That's all you need to know.

This came from a confession.

I cannot confirm or deny that.



So, yes.

Well, your confessor
might be lying.

People don't lie
in the confessional, Frank.

Kevin, if you're not
gonna tell me who it is,

why'd you
bring it to me?

Because I can't sit by and watch
an innocent man take a fall.

Potentially innocent man,

and unless you give me
a name, I can't help you.

[scoffs] I thought I could
count on you for your help.

Well, the Lord helps those
who help themselves,

so give me the name
of your confessor,

and I'll see what I can do.

Frank, we're talking
about statutory,

evidentiary privilege.

I can't give you that name,
and you know it.

[sighs]

Then I can't help you.

[sighs]

Did I ever say that to you

when you came to me for help?

Never.

[door closes]

Word is you're by the book,
but fair.

Locker room translation,
ball buster.

Whoa. See that guy?
He just ran that stop sign.

We're really gonna
pull him over?

What's the problem?
We're not traffic cops.

[siren wailing]

Shut it off.
License and registration.

Hey, Officer. Look, man,
I didn't do anything.

Run it.

Where you going
in such a hurry?

Okay, I didn't see
the stop sign.

You own this car?
No, it's my boss's car.

Look, please, Officer,
I'm gonna be late.
MALONE: Hey, Sarge.

He's got an outstanding
felony warrant.

Sir, step out
of the car, please.

It was a mistake...Let's go. Right now.

Out. Come on.
On the back of the car.

You're under arrest.
Cuff him up.

Make sure you
give him a toss.

[handcuffs click]

You got a lot of cash
in the backseat.

You want to tell me
what that's about?

I want a lawyer.

What was that you said
about being traffic cops?

About time.
Well, I brought you a coffee.

GEE:
Nice of you
to show up, Reagan.

We got a fresh one under
the Williamsburg Bridge.

Uh, actually, boss, could you

give it to Peterson
and Covino?

'Cause I caught another case.
No.

You and Baez
are up next.

Okay, but I got another case
I got to look into first.

What other case?
I can't tell you.

Excuse me?

It came from
a confidential source.

Who's the source?
I can't tell you.

Says who?
Says One PP.

Oh, I see where this is going...
It's not what you think it is.

Daddy's the PC.
I get it.
No.

That's not it... [sighs]

Look, if you want
the truth,

Lieutenant Gormley came to me.

Gormley should've came to me.
I'm the boss.

I'm sure he didn't mean
any disrespect.

Could've fooled me.

[door opens]

Madeline Gleeson?

Yeah.
I'm Officer Janko.

This is Officer Badillo.
You called 911?

I want to report a rape.

Okay. May we come in?

Yeah.

[door closes]

You want to tell us
what happened.

MADELINE:
I met this guy for a date.

We went to Martello's
on-on Madison.

Got some drinks.

He was really nice, at first.

And then we
went back to...

his apartment...

I-I got up to go,

and he-he blocked the door.

I-I kind of pushed him
and said no.

He got really aggressive.

[breathing shakily]

BADILLO:
How do you know him?

We met online.

Was this your first date?

Yeah.

We need his name
and his address.

Mark Roland.
[knock on door]

One second.
[sniffling]

[gasps]

Left your sweater
at my place.

Get away from me.
Listen to me.

That's him.

That's the one who raped me.

I didn't rape you.
Back up.

Turn around.

Hands behind your back.

I know my rights.
I'm a lawyer.

I don't care who you are.
You're under arrest for rape.

Let's go.

We got one under on
an outstanding warrant.

Have him sign for the funds and
voucher the rest as personals.

You got it, boss.
Yeah.

Hey, Jamie.

Hey, Joe. What's going on?

Actually, you tell me.
Come here.

You picked up Manuel Ruiz?

On an outstanding warrant. Why?

I'm working on
an FBI task force.

This is my boss, Jeff Green.
He's group supervisor.
Hey.

Nice to meet you.
Yeah.

We're working a case,
and Ruiz is one of our targets.

That was drug money
he had in his car.

We think he was gonna use it
to make a buy.

So, we'll take the arrest.

Uh... [chuckles]
Uh, what's the plan here?

We were going to
follow him

and collar him
after he made the exchange.

And now?
And now,
we'll convince him

to cooperate.
How you gonna do that?

He already asked for a lawyer.

GREEN:
When we tell him we're gonna

take the money and release him
without a receipt,

he'll be begging us
to cooperate.

You're gonna take the money,

but you're not gonna
give him a receipt?

Bosses will kill him for that.

Which is why
he'll agree to cooperate.

So, you're threatening his life
if he doesn't cooperate?

We're giving him incentive.

[chuckles]
Is that what you call it?

We'll take it from here.

I don't think so.

What?

It's my arrest.
You can't have him.
What?

Malone.

When you're done,
put Ruiz in the cell.
Copy that.

What are you doing?
My job.

This is a fed case.
You can't do that.

I'll take this all the way
up to the director.

You can take it
wherever you want.

I thought you said
this guy was okay.

Jamie, what the hell
are you doing?

I just started
on this task force.

You're blowing my first case
out of the water.

We don't threaten people's lives
to get them to cooperate.

"We"?
We don't purposely

withhold a receipt
from a drug courier

knowing they'll put
a price on his head.

Are you kidding me? "W-We"?

J-- I'm not a part of you.

♪

You have any gang affiliations?

[scoffs] No.

Tattoos?

Just this one.

"Milagro"?

My daughter. It means "miracle."

Is this her?

Yeah.

And my wife.

Mm-hmm.

My wife and I saved up
to buy a place in Orlando.

[chuckling] My daughter
loves Disney.

You're telling me the $32,000
in the backseat

was for the place
in Orlando?

We're gonna move there.

Right, so it's just
a coincidence that you have

drug possession with intent
to sell charges pending?

My lawyer told me
not to talk to you.

You can do
whatever you want,

but if you don't make
a deal to cooperate,

she's gonna be in college
by the time you get out.

You're just trying to scare me.

You should be scared.
You're looking at serious time.

Let me ask you
something.

Why didn't you hand me over
to the Feds?

Is that what you want? You want
me to hand you over to the Feds?

No. Man, I just don't understand
why you want to help me.

Here's why.

Think about them.

Were you first
on the scene?
Yeah.

What did you see?

When I walked in,
I saw Stephanie Miller

lying there,
covered in blood.

And Lamar White? Where was he?

He was holding her with one arm,
had the knife in his other hand.

Did he say anything?

He kept saying to me, "Did
I kill her? Did I kill her?"

Huh.
No signs of
forced entry?

No, but the window
was open, like halfway.

So, you would say
he was cooperative?

OFFICER MILLER:
I'd say the guy was in shock.

BAEZ: Anything else
you can tell us?

OFFICER MILLER:
I know this sounds weird,
but he was hysterical,

like he really
loved her.

Okay, well, we'll take
a look around. Thanks.

You got something?

Maybe.

Hidden camera.

Memory card's
missing.

Crime Scene didn't recover that.

I would've noticed it
in their evidence log.

Maybe she planted it

in case something
like this ever happened.

Or maybe he planted it and
saw something he didn't like.

Something that would
give him motive

to commit murder maybe?

Hey!

Good afternoon,
Officer Janko.

What is going on?
Who told you you could leave?

This is the officer
who arrested me.

I'm Mr. Roland's attorney.

He should've never been arrested
in the first place.

He raped a young woman.

The D.A.'s office
is declining to prosecute.

No, that-that's not possible.

You have an issue with that,
take it up with them.

Let's go.

Take care, Officer Janko.

And the 6-5 felonies
are down across the board

for the last month.

Great. Set up a call
with the C.O.

Will do.

On that other case, I got

someone looking into it, boss,

but nothing to
substantiate yet.
Okay.

What case?

Nothing.

Doesn't concern you.

So, a secret case?

No, no.

Who's looking into
this secret case?

Why're you giving me
the third degree?

Why are you avoiding
the question?

This has something to do
with Archbishop Kearns.

You're looking into
a case for Kearns?

A secret case?

This isn't exactly kosher.

Okay. Garrett, Abigail,

give us the room.

[door closes]
[sighs]

And, Sid, I appreciate you
talking to Danny,

but I don't want you to have
any more involvement in this.

Hey, once an altar boy, I'm in.

But,

if it ever gets out that
we're even looking into this,

based on the hearsay
of the archbishop,

we'd be ripped to shreds
in the press.

Then we proceed very quietly.

And Danny's on board with this?

The case against
Lamar White

is pretty rock solid,

so it'd sure as hell
help to find out

who the guy is
that confessed.

Danny wants to get ahold
of security cameras.

Oh, archbishop's
never gonna go for that.

But, boss, we have access to all
the other security cameras

surrounding the church.

And we don't need
the archbishop's permission

to see them.

But if we go that route,

you'll alienate
the archbishop completely.

I know, Sid, I know.

You let a rapist walk?

Excuse me?

You dismissed the case
against Mark Roland.

First of all,
that was not my case.

Secondly, I happen to agree
with the assessment.

You agree?

Yeah. It'd be
almost impossible

to prove that case
beyond reasonable doubt.

Roland said it was consensual,
witnesses saw them kissing,

Gleeson willingly went up
to that apartment,

there was large amounts
of alcohol...

So, Erin, if you go up
to a man's apartment,

you're asking
to be raped?

Uh... I did not say that.

Okay, we cannot prosecute a case
if we do not believe

we can prove it
beyond reasonable doubt.

So, you're just gonna let it go?

You're not gonna try
to investigate to see

if the case has merit?
'Cause you know what?

The case has merit. I know it.

Well, good for you,
but I can't use

your gut instinct as evidence.

You're screwing over
a victim here.
Okay, you're out of line.

No, you are.

You are!
I have to go up

to Madeline Gleeson

and say, "I'm so sorry
that you were raped,

but nothing
is gonna happen to Roland."

Thanks for nothing, Erin!

[sighs]

Hey, yo, my man,
I already told you,

my boss gave me the $32,000
to buy a brick of fentanyl.

That was the money
you had on the backseat

when you got pulled over?
Yeah.

I was supposed to deliver it
to some guy in the Bronx.

What guy?

His name is Manny Lopez.

JOE:
We're gonna need you
to arrange to drop off

the money in exchange
for the fentanyl.

GREEN:
Then, we'll move in

and make the arrest
after the exchange is made.

The deal was for
a reduced sentence

in exchange
for information.

Now, you're talking about
doing a drug transaction.

That's a lot more
dangerous.

That's the deal.
Take it or leave it.

[indistinct whispering]

All right.

I'll do it under
one condition.

Okay. What's that?

Sergeant Reagan
is my point person.

All right, well, I want
to read that testimony

before I sign off on the plea.

Okay, thanks.

Hi.
Hi.

This is
Madeline Gleeson.

Thank you so much
for meeting

with me, Ms. Reagan.
I-I really appreciate it.

Oh.I knew that
you wanted to hear

firsthand the details
from Madeline,

so we could figure out a way
to get her justice.

So what do you
think's best?

In here or
in the conference room?

Hey.

Hey, Jamie.

He asked to work with you?
What did you say to the guy?

Nothing. Maybe I just
treated him with respect.

Great. Could you treat me
with a little respect, please?

Let's not forget I'm the reason
that he's cooperating.

My team has been all over
this case, all right?

We've been following this guy
for the last three weeks.
Congratulations.

I don't understand
what the problem is here.

I don't like the way
your team operates.

Well, they make a lot
of good collars.

Are all those
good collars legit,

or are they like Ruiz?

Strong-arming and bullying
people to get what you want?

I didn't realize you were
so invested in perps.

I'm invested in operating
by the book.

We're not doing
anything illegal.

Fine. Let's just say
I like being able

to look myself
in the mirror in the morning.

Now I know why Danny
calls you a Boy Scout.

Hey!

Before, you said
you're not one of us, right?

Well, I think you're
absolutely right. You're not.

You're nothing like your father.

Okay, and this is the best
number to reach you at?

Yes.
Okay, well,

I will be in touch.

If you can wait for Detective--
Uh... Officer Janko

at the elevators,
please.

Okay.

And thanks

again. I...

I can't tell you how much
this means to me,

you taking a personal
interest and all.

My pleasure.

[door opens]

Don't be mad.
Don't be mad?

I don't even know
where to start.

How could you do that?

How could you bring her
in here, unannounced,

without even
checking with me?

I just thought that if you heard
her story firsthand...

I know her story.
I read the complaint.

She's devastated, Erin.

This is not about
sympathizing with victims,

it's about being able
to prove a rape,

and right now, we don't have
enough evidence, Eddie.

Then let's get
enough evidence.

What do you need?

I need you to get out
of my office.

Now.

[door opens]

[door closes]

How you doing,
Lamar?

I'm Detective Reagan.

This is my partner,
Detective Baez.

Hey.

What happened to your lip?

I think I'm supposed
to say I fell.

Lamar, we're looking into
your girlfriend

Stephanie Miller's murder.

We have a few questions for you.

How long did you date her?

We met in March,
moved in together in July.

That's pretty quick.

I knew she was the one
after the first date.

Did you know she had
a hidden camera

installed in the apartment?

For what?

We were hoping
you could tell us.

Nah. No way,
that wasn't her style.

She didn't like security?

She didn't like when people
put cameras everywhere.

She was a really private person.

Did you install
the smoke detector for her,

or did she do it herself?

The building put those in.

They send someone
to check on it

every six months or so.

Do you know who?

I was never there when he came.

You could ask the super.

Do you know if there was anyone
who bothered Stephanie,

creeped her out?

Not really.

Anyone who ever scared her?

She told me about a guy she
caught looking in her window.

Hmm.
Like a Peeping Tom?

She called me all scared.
I told her to call the cops.

And did she?
No. He left.

Did she describe this guy?

Tall, like six feet,

blonde hair, stocky. Why?

We're just looking into
a few things.

Lamar,
in your statement,

you told detectives

that you stabbed
Stephanie to death.

So?
So, you confessed,

but did you do it?

I must've.

You must've?

What does that mean?
It means we were drinking.

I did shots, too many.

I blacked out.

When I woke up, Steph was dead.

There was blood everywhere.

But you don't remember
if you did it?

Does it matter, hmm?

If I was blacked out
and killed her,

or if I was blacked out
and didn't save her.

Either way, I'm guilty.

Hey.

I know she told you
what she did.

Who?
Eddie.

Oh.
Oh?

That's all you have
to say, is "oh"?

Look, she got overly
invested in the case,

happens to the
best of us.

Yeah, but you talk to me
about it. You don't just...

What? Pull a Reagan?

Pull a Reagan?

What's that
supposed to mean?

She used any means
necessary.

Some might say
unorthodox.

Well, some might say rude
and unprofessional.

To get your attention.
She knew you'd get invested

once you talked
to the victim,

and by the looks of it,
she was right.

Well, who said
I was invested?

Well, isn't that
why you're here?

To tell me to dive
into this case?

No.

Then why are you here?

To tell you to dive
into this case.

But I still say

the way she went about it
was wrong.

Hmm.

Unbelievable.

[sighs] Okay, here's
where we're at:

it's possible, but not provable.

I told you.

All I'm saying is his prints
could be on the knife

because he touched it
after the fact.

So, you'll release him?
Kevin,

he still confessed,

and his prints are still
on the murder weapon.

[sighs]

So... who's your guy?

We have to make this
right, Frank.

You're gonna have to work
with me, Kevin.

All I want is justice

for Stephanie Miller
and her family,

and to put her killer away.

And he will be, just not by me.

Why don't you tell that
to the dead girl's family?

You don't think this
is killing me, Frank?

But it's not my job
to do your work for you,

and I'm not protecting
her killer.

That's exactly
what you're doing, Kevin.

Oh, no. I'm protecting
the seal of the confessional.

That's my job.

That's what I swore
an oath to do,

and I'm okay with that.

Well, I'm not.

I can't remember working a case
where I was hoping the guy

who I collared
didn't actually do it.

What's the case?
DANNY: It's, uh...

No case.

Hypothetical case.
That's why I can't remember.

You going all soft on us?

No, Gramps.
Still pissing people off.

[chuckles]

This week, it's my boss.

Your C.O. mad at you?

Well, actually, he's mad
at me and my former C.O.,

but hopefully,
he'll get over that.

Well, pissing people off
is a job hazard.

Well, it doesn't have to be
if you do it right.

Sometimes,
being passionate

about your job
pisses people off.
Ah.

Is that what
you're calling it?

I think it's a,
it's a Reagan hazard.

What's that supposed to mean?
Ah, just means that

I think, for some people,
we're a lot to take.

HENRY:
What're you talking about?

You know, we're strong,
opinionated, outspoken.

Oh.
SEAN: Stubborn, headstrong,

relentless.
Table full of type A's.

That is true.
Well, you're one of them.

By marriage,
not by blood.

What difference does that make?
ERIN: Yeah.

I think it makes
a very big difference.

For instance, how often have you
or you gone into Erin's office

to fight for a case,

or a subpoena, or a warrant?

Okay, so that's where
you're going with this?

Uh-huh.
Mm.

And, apparently, it's okay,
if you're blood.

No. No.

It's not okay,
and it's different

than dragging a victim

into my office
unannounced.

Something going on here
we should know about?

BOTH:
No.

Look... [sighs]

being passionate, I mean,
whether you want to call it

being type A or a Reagan hazard,

I think it's commendable.

Thank you.

HENRY:
Yeah.

I agree, Francis.

Not everybody feels that way.

Some Reagans don't even want
to be Reagans.

You got to be talking about Joe.

Yeah, we're working
the same case, and, uh,

he's keeping it a secret
that we're related.

No.

JAMIE:
Maybe he wants

to keep it a secret 'cause
he's not sure he wants to be

a part of this particular club.

Well, don't count him out.
DANNY: Yeah,

and if all else fails, we'll
just bring in the big guns.

What's that?
Irish Catholic guilt.

Dad wrote the book on it.

[all chuckling]

ERIN:
Thank you for coming in.

STEIN:
ADA Reagan,

the charges against
my client were dropped,

so why are we here?

I am supervising
this case.

I just want to make sure my ADA
is doing her due diligence.

MARK:
I can save you the trouble.

You have nothing.
STEIN: Mark...

She came to my place,
wanted to have sex with me.

It's not my fault if she
had regrets afterwards.

I wouldn't characterize
a rape charge

as having regrets.

What exactly do you need
from us, Ms. Reagan?

Ms. Gleeson told us that
she said no several times.

That she tried
physically to stop you.

This is crazy.

Did she say no?

No. Do I look like a rapist?

ABETEMARCO:
I don't know.

What does a rapist look like?

If you thought there
was any merit to this,

Mr. Roland
would be in Rikers.

Your office declined
to prosecute.

Pending further investigation.

MARK:
You can do all the
investigating you want.

We will.
But, be assured,

you won't find
any evidence I raped her.

STEIN:
We came here as a courtesy,
but if you're gonna start

to harass my client,
we're leaving.

Let's go.

So, what do you think?
[door closes]

He never said that
he didn't rape Ms. Gleeson.

He said there wasn't evidence
that he did.

Well, he's a lawyer, so he knows
his way around the law,

but he's cocky,

which means he's probably
done this before.

Doesn't have any priors.

None filed.

Dig deeper.

So the super has
no knowledge

of anyone installing
smoke detectors.

Great. Anything on
our Peeping Tom?

I pulled all the complaints
that may involve a Peeping Tom,

thinking that maybe he's
targeted other women,

not just Stephanie.
Okay. What'd you find?

12 guys to check out.

Do any of them
fit the description

of our Peeping Tom?

Six-foot tall,
blonde hair, stocky.

No.

Okay, well, maybe
our Peeping Tom

is the guy who went
to confession

with Archbishop Kearns on
the day of Stephanie's murder.

It's not like the church keeps
a list of its penitents.

No, but I could get access
to the security footage

surrounding the church.

How? Never mind.
I don't want to know.

Look, how hard could it be
to find the footage

of our Peeping Tom
walking into the church?

Right. It's only the busiest
avenue in Manhattan.

During a two-hour window
of confession.

[elevator bell dings]

Hey.
Oh, hey.

We found something
worth looking into.

We?

I invited Eddie
to come with me.

So where is she?

She thinks you might
still be mad at her.

She was scared to come up.
Scared of me?

Well, you can be scary.

Okay, so what did we find?

Our friend Roland had
an HR complaint

lodged against him last year,

and the law firm where
he worked as a third year.

An HR complaint. I mean,
that could mean anything.

He could've used
the wrong adjective.

The complaint was found
to have merit.

He was fired,
and his accuser resigned.

What was the charge?

Rape.

How dare you!

Archbishop Kearns
is here, sir.

[sighs]

Thank you, Baker.

[door closes]

You used the church, my church,

in your investigation.

No, we didn't.
We re-investigated a case

and narrowed down a suspect.

You infiltrated
our security system.

Did I ask for security
footage from you?

No.

Did I ask for the names
or descriptions

of any of your flock?

No.

All you need to know is
I did what I had to do

to put a murderer away.

You can look at the surveillance
footage if you'd like.

I will do no such thing.

It's not my job
to put people away.

No. Your job is to save souls,
and you do it well.

My job is to get justice
for victims,

and I do it equally well.

Mm. How did you find him?

[sighs]
We got a description.

And?

And we matched it to a member

of your congregation.

By spying on us.

You're compelled to protect
your confessor.

I would like to protect
our investigative techniques.

[scoffs] Investigative
techniques my foot.

Those security cameras
around our perimeter...

Are not owned by you.

Right. But they're there because
we agreed to give

the NYPD access
to prevent the church

from being victimized
by terrorists.

Not to be used against us.

If we can put a murderer away
and free an innocent man,

I'm okay with that.

Don't throw my words
back at me, Frank.

You betrayed me.

Aw. Kevin...

He asked me to work late,

then ordered food and wine
up to the floor.

As it got later, I realized

I wasn't there
because of the case,

and I got a little
uncomfortable.

I told him I was leaving,

and that's when he
blocked the door...

pushed me up against the wall

and attacked me.

You didn't call 911?

I thought about it,
but he's a lawyer.

I'd seen him destroy
victims in court.

And I was just a first year
trying to make my way up.

I didn't want the
charge to go public.

What if I got blacklisted?

Did you go to the hospital
or tell anyone after?

I told my roommate,
and I went to HR,

just because I didn't want it
to happen to another woman.

And what happened
when he found out

about the HR complaint?

He told me I didn't have a case.

That I ordered the
liquor on my card,

which was against firm policy.

And that I asked for it,

and no one would believe me.

Would you be willing to file

a criminal complaint
against him now?

Why?

He did it to someone else,
didn't he?

I think you would regret it
if you did not come forward.

Do you think there's a shot
at convicting him

if I come forward?

I do.

He threatened me
after it happened.

Said if I ever went
to the police, he'd destroy me.

Well, how about we
destroy him first?

Hey.
Hey.

Anthony is taking
her statement now.

Is it enough to press charges?

It is. I'm gonna
charge Roland

with two counts of rape,

one for each victim.

Oh, Erin, this is,
this is great.

Look, I'm-I'm sorry
I was such a pain.

Are you? Sorry?

What?

Do you really regret
fighting for that case?

Well, no.
Okay.

So why are you apologizing?

As women, we are
always taught

to apologize
for being assertive

or demanding our voice.

Don't. Don't do that.

You're right.
I'm not sorry.

I'm glad I had you take
a second look.

Otherwise Roland might have
gotten away with it.

So own it.

I will.

But if you ever
do that again,

bring a victim into
my office unannounced,

I'll make sure that you regret
the day you were born.

Okay.

[both laugh softly]

RUIZ: What up, G?
PEREZ: What's up, baby?

$32,000, like you asked.

Where's the fentanyl?

I don't have it
with me right now.

What you mean you don't have
it with you right now?

That's not the deal.

I think he's been made.
I think we should move in.

I think we should wait.
GREEN: I agree.

Let's see what happens.

PEREZ:
Give me the money.

I'll drop off the drugs later.

Hey, yo, my man,
that's not the deal.

I want the fenty now,

or you don't get
the money.

How 'bout you give me
the money,

or we kill your family.

My family?

What are you talking about?

Go.

Daddy! Daddy!

Let's go.
ESU, go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Daddy!

Daddy!

AGENT:
We got a man down!

Gray Mercedes
fleeing the scene.

Central Team One, we need a bus
to this location forthwith.

Let's go. All units move in.
All units.

Stay put. We have help
on the way, okay?
My family!

My family.

We're gonna do everything we
can to get your family back.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Is he gonna make it?
Yeah, why?

You plan on using his family
to get him to do something else

to help out your case?

It's not my fault
they took his family, Jamie.

No, but if we'd moved in
quicker, maybe we could've

stopped 'em from taking off
with his wife and kid.

We had to wait for confirmation
that they had the drugs.

That's the point, Joe,
we didn't need to wait.

Okay.

Hey, you know what
your problem is?

Right now it's you, man.
You haven't learned yet

that only thinking about collars

and not thinking things through
is gonna

get you or someone else killed.

Great. Then I'll be
just like my dad, huh?

Yo, we got a hit
from the GPS.

They're headed to Brooklyn.
Let's go.

♪

We're going in the front.
I'll cover the side.

Two in the back.
You go with him.

[whispering]
Hey. Hey, what are you doing?

I see the wife and the daughter.

Jamie, what are you doing?

They're alone.

[door creaks]

We have to wait
for the signal.

[mouths]

You're big on waiting.

[TV playing indistinctly]

This is the guy
I was telling you about.

Come on!

Watch him get
past the defense.

Come here.

It's okay, he's a cop.
He's going to help us.

Come on.
Go. Go.

I'm gonna hold your hand and
we're gonna go outside, okay?

Hey. I got her.

Okay.

[TV sportscaster speaking
indistinctly]

Stay right here,
stay right here. Okay?

SPORTSCASTER:
Takes a shot that is blocked.

MAN: Aw, man!

Stay quiet, we're gonna
get you out of here.

Okay.

Quiet.

Quiet, quiet...[loud clatter]

What's going on out there?

Go, go, go!
[indistinct shouting]

Go, go, go!

Stay, stay.

MRS. RUIZ: Are you okay?
GIRL: Yeah.

[panting]

BAEZ:
You didn't kill Stephanie.

What?

It was the Peeping Tom
you told us about.

He's the one that installed
the hidden camera

inside the smoke detector.

And then he eventually
worked up the nerve to attack.

You sure?

The hidden camera recorded
Stephanie's murder.

We found the memory card
in his apartment.

So, yeah, we're sure.

I could have helped her.

Maybe.
If I had been awake.

Or if I hadn't had
too much to drink...

Maybe you could have
helped her. Maybe.

Or maybe you would have
gotten killed, too.

I wish I did.

Lamar, you can't
live like that.

It's not gonna work.

Trust me, I've been there.

Stephanie loved you, right?

Like no one else.

So she wouldn't want you
to stop living your life.

No.

So maybe the best way
you could pay tribute

is to just...

carry on.

Somehow find a way to be happy.

Let's get this man home.

[door opens]

♪

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

It has been two months
since my last confession.

And what are your sins?

Well, a friend of mine
thinks I betrayed him.

And did you?

Well, I don't see it that way.

The way I see it is
I betrayed him

in order to help him.

Which is still a betrayal.

Well, see, that's
the hard part because

I'm not really sorry
for what I did.

I can't absolve you
if you're not sorry.

I mean I'm not sorry
for what I did,

but I am sorry
that I upset him.

Sounds like your actions
hurt your friend deeply.

But see, I treasure
our friendship,

so...

I'm not asking for absolution.

I'm just hoping
that he will forgive me.

Say six Hail Marys,

and as an act of contrition,

take your friend out to dinner.

Steaks at Gallaghers?

See you at 8:00.

All right,

anyone want to tell me
what's going on?

BOTH:
We thought you knew.

Don't look at me.

Dad? What are
we doing here?
Ask Jamie.

Chicago Texas Hold 'Em,
Reagan style.

It's a good game,
if you like wild cards.

Yeah. You should be able
to relate.

DANNY:
It's basically Texas Hold 'Em.

Hundred-dollar buy-in,
one to ante, but...

nines and threes are wild.

All right. Why this game
in particular?

This was your dad's favorite.

'Cause he won it all the time.

Not all the time.
Some of us knew his tells.

He would clear his throat
whenever he had a good hand.

All you need to know
about this game is

you've got to have patience.

And a knack for the hot seat.

HENRY:
Yeah.

And you gotta be able
to handle pressure.

Like everybody at this table.

Like everybody in this family.

Challenge accepted.

Good. Two dollars to you.

Make it 20.
[clears throat]

[chips clatter]

Whoa.
Fold.

I fold.
I got schmegegge.
I fold.

Make it 40.

DANNY:
Ooh.

You've got a pair.

So I've been told.

You got a good poker face.

So I've been told.

[clicks tongue]
Fold.

[sighs]

[Henry laughs]
DANNY: All right,

Dad, you deal next.

Okay.

But this time...

let's up the ante.

[all chuckling]
