Blue Bloods (2010–…): Season 12, Episode 14 - Allegiance - full transcript

♪

[indistinct radio chatter]

[sighs]

Ray?

Oh, uh, Commissioner.

You didn't have to come
all this way for me.

It's your only option
when one of your own is shot.

You show up.

Um, excuse me. Uh, Cheryl?

Boys, go grab
your bags.

[sighs]
How you doing, Ray?



It's just a graze wound, sir.

Lucky.

Close calls are
our business, right, sir?

Look, I know you went
through this when they processed

the crime scene,
but what happened?

I just got home
after working my tour.

I was actually
looking forward to...

some of Cheryl's ossobuco.

[chuckles]When all of a sudden,

the place lit up
with a barrage of gunfire.

How many rounds?

I couldn't say, I...

I was too focused
on staying alive.

And your family?Boys were upstairs.



Cheryl was in the kitchen.
It's...

it's a miracle
I was the only one hit.

You return fire?No, sir.

First thing I do when I walk in
is lock up my firearm.

You got a place to stay?

Yeah. So, yeah.

This is the one time
I'm grateful

my in-laws live nearby.

As you know, you will get

a protective detail
till we find out who did this.

And we will find them.

Yes, sir, I know we will.

Ray? We'll be in the car.Yeah?

Okay, sweetheart.Okay.

Okay, I'll be right out.Okay.

Either of you guys see anything?

No, sir.I just hit the floor.

[chuckles]

Good instinct.

[door closes]

Watch your six.

Yes, sir.

My God.

So much
for a one-night stand, huh?

Mm, yeah, that's what
you said last time.

And it still holds true.[laughs]

Um...

stockings?

Stockings.

Thank you.

How about I go run
and grab us

some coffee and bagels?

And breakfast,
it's a bit serious

for something so casual.

Your words, not mine.Mm-hmm.

I'll get the Keurig going.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[phone ringing, vibrating]Oh.

Monica, what do you mean
you're in the city?

You're supposed
to testify tomorrow.

Stay out of town

and do not show up
for trial.

Uh, work troubles?

Just another glamorous day
in the life of a lawyer.

Huh, what kind of lawyer
are you?

Uh, defense attorney.

Legal aid, and, uh, I got to go.

Let me call you an Uber.
Uh, address?

So this work thing--
you think your person did it?

It doesn't matter.Doesn't matter?

It's my job to zealously
represent or defend my client,

regardless of whether
or not I think they did it.

Cynical much?

Well, I'm sure
you got your own...

set of office politics that you
navigate with your job, right?

Wait, I don't even know
what it is that you do.

I am between assignments
right now.

And your driver's
one minute away.

All right, bye.

♪ Thought you were
taking me to lunch.

Well, why just go to lunch
when you can spend your morning

with the Mimi Martinez.Yeah, well,

it would've been nice
to eat and then go

spend time with your
favorite talk show host.

She's not just
a talk show host.

This isn't just a talk show.
It's part talk,

part cooking,
part inspirational show.

She's a chef.

She makes an amazing meal
every episode

for the entire audience
to enjoy. Mm-hmm.Lucky me.

All right, so when you see me
rolling my arms like this,

you guys are gonna get
really loud. Let's try it.

Ready? Three, two, one--
let me hear you!

[cheering, applause]

Great.

America's cariño.

The queen of daytime television.

Give it up, nice and loud,

for Mimi Martinez!

[cheering, applause]

Hola,everyone.

AUDIENCE:
Hola.

Hola.Thank you for coming.

We have an exciting show
planned for you today.

First, we have superstar

and super-cute actor Tom Tobin

Oh, wow.I like Tom Tobin.

And for lunch, we're mixing up

my famous cochinita pibil.

You're welcome.What is it?

But before we start today's
show, we have a few more things

to take care of,
so we'll be right back.

STAGE MANAGER:
Back in five.

I'm starving.I am, too.

[clearing her throat]

[coughing]

Does this, like,
happen every show?

BAEZ:
I don't think so.

Is there a doctor in the house?

[murmuring]

Police.

Come on.

Right here, guys.Okay, step aside.

Everybody, step back.
Police. Step back.

[indistinct chatter]

We may be taking a rain
check on lunch, partner.

I'm not getting a pulse.

♪

Come in.

Oh.

Not the Reagan I was expecting.

Hill, what are
you doing here?

[grunts]

Word on the street
is a defense attorney's

encouraging a witness
not to show up for trial.

Does this attorney have a name?

Deanna Parker.She's on trial

with the Adrian Edwards case.

We had him investigated
for sex trafficking

and even murder.

Assault one was
all we could get to stick.

For slashing a stranger
on the street.

Which is exactly why
you should look into this.

And how credible
is this informant?

Very.

You know, uh,
thanks for the tip,

but it sounds a little
too good to be true.

So unless this informant heard
this from Deanna herself...

Which I'm guessing you did.

Not intentionally.

So you accidently heard her
tampering with a witness?

Deanna and I met at a bar
and had some fun.

You had fun?

She took a phone call,
voices were raised

and I heard some things
I couldn't unhear,

so now I'm bringing what I heard
to you to see it through.

And if I do, your girlfriend's
gonna be investigated.

Witness tampering's
a class A

misdemeanor,
and more importantly...

we're gonna have
to involve your aunt.

Could you please
keep my name out of it?

Hey, kid.

Adrian Edwards is a bad guy.

If Deanna's not only
representing him,

but doing what you said she is,

you may what to reconsider
the company you keep.

I'm more focused right now on
making sure justice is handled.

Keep me posted. Thank you.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Can't believe
she's dead.

Yeah. You knew about her--

do you know if she was sick
or had any health issues?

No, Mimi was all about living
her healthiest life possible.

Oh, that's Hank Willis,
her producer

and sometimes cohost.

Come on.

Mr. Willis.Yeah?

I'm Detective Baez, this is
my partner Detective Reagan.

We're very sorry for your loss.

Thanks.
I got a lot of calls to make.

And a lot of fires to put out,
so if you'll excuse me.

We just happened to be
in the audience.

We were hoping we could
ask you a few questions

if you don't mind.Questions about?

Uh, about Mimi.

Um, was she sick at all?

She have any health issues?

That I do not know.
You'd have to ask her husband.

Bill, right? Where is he?

Doesn't he usually
attend every taping?

Bill was in L.A.
for some meetings.

He was the first phone call
I made and my team got him

on the first available flight
back to New York.

We're gonna need
his contact information.

Okay. Uh, Julie, will you
organize that for them?

Yeah, sure.She'll get it for you,
all right?

Do you think there
was foul play involved?

What makes you think
there was foul play?

We don't think anything.

We're just, uh... that's
what we're trying to find out.

Can you think of anyone
who would want to hurt Mimi?

Look, Mimi spent
a lot of time and energy

building her career
and cementing her place

as queen of daytime television.

I mean, you don't get
to wear that crown

without ruffling a few
feathers, you know?[phone buzzing]

I-I got to get this, okay?
Thanks.

Hey.

Yeah, I know,
it just happened.

I don't know.

Well, you called it, boss.

I'm sorry to hear that.Why?

'Cause I don't like
what I called is why.

You ask a seasoned cop
to report on a crime,

and he talks
about his wife's ossobuco.

I don't know.

Something wasn't right
in that room.

Well, Lieutenant Moretti's
shooting wasn't connected to any

of the cases
he's due to testify on.

So that's good news.

One son or both?

Just the younger one, Vincent.

So, I...

That's more good news, I guess.

Just the bad news, please, Sid.

He's had drug-related collars

starting back
when he was a minor.

And word is he's got
serious debt on the street.

Like with the corner boys?

Like with
the corner boy's bosses.

Ace Double Treys.

[sighs]

Okay, what's the good news?

Lieutenant Moretti
is a great cop.

I'm sure he is.

But I'm also sure
it doesn't matter.

Of course it matters.
He's not only great on the job,

he's great off it.

And what the hell
does that mean?

He's coached
his police hoops team

to the state finals
the last eight out of ten years.

I mean, the man's a giver.

Well, I wish that weighed in.

It has to weigh in.
Think of all the kids

he's set
on the straight and narrow.

That does not cancel out
his own son

being on the wide and crooked.

I want to see
Lieutenant Moretti.

For what?

Are you really asking me that?

Are you gonna
throw the book at him?

No, just part of it.

Which part, Sid?

We are not paid to sit here
and pick and choose.

Which part?

Section 203-10,

subdivision 2C,

titled Prohibited Conduct.

Get him up here.

Over the past three weeks,
five women have met

a white male in his 30s
at the same club in Midtown,

taken him backed
to their apartments

and been violently raped.

Any leads?

No, we...

we have a sketch of the perp,

but no photo, no name

and no DNA matches
in the system.

Hence why I'm here?

We want to plant you in the club
every night for a week

and see if we get lucky
spotting the guy.

I heard you did a hell of a job

working with special victims
not too long ago.

I appreciate that,
Sergeant Williams.

Call me Katie.

Katie. Uh...

I loved working with your team.

It felt so good to help.

But I also know you took
the sergeant's exam.

I passed.

Humble, too.

I heard you aced it.

So just...

let me know if I'm barking
up the wrong tree here.

Are you up
for an undercover stint?

You heading out?

Uh, yeah,
I have a dinner at 8:00.

Why, what's up?

Consider this
a late Christmas gift.

A gift or a headache?

Both. The defense attorney

in the Adrian Edwards case

told a witness
to get out of town.

Who's your source?

I'd like
to keep them confidential.

They won't remain
confidential for long.

There'll be a investigation,
not only into this case,

but every case the defense
attorney has ever worked on.

So you want me to look into it?Well, haven't you already?

Well, I went to a house
where the witness was

suspected to be,
but it looked abandoned.

So we won't know
until the witness

does or does not
show up for court.

Exactly.

Who's the A.D.A.
on this-- Sydney?

Yes, she is.

Okay, we need to give her
a heads-up.

She's due back in court
tomorrow.

All right, copy that.

M.E.'s office has not
classified Mimi's death

as a homicide.

But it hasn't been
classified as anything yet.

Look, you do realize

this isn't even our case, right?

I know that.

Then why are we doing all this?

I mean, you got

the magazines,
you're doing this research.

Because the detectives

at the local precinct--
they took their photos,

they typed their fives,
and they're done with this.

They're not looking
at this as a crime.

Says who? Wh...Says me.

[sighs]

Okay.

[groans]Mimi was a fighter.

Her childhood was
more complicated than mine was,

but she made something
of herself,

and she used her journey

to inspire millions of people.

And make millions of dollars.

And then at the height of
her career, her husband cheated

on her with a younger woman,
and you know what?

She took him back.

She probably had
to be extra tough

to make it as a Latina
in the entertainment industry.

Except there's one problem--
it's not our case.

How many times
have you told me

not to steamroll other
detectives or poach their cases?

And now it sounds like that's
exactly what you want to do.

Yeah, but you always do it,

because you want
to follow your gut.

So maybe it's time

to follow my gut.

Pass me the Celebrity Beat.

♪

[lively chatter]

Is this seat taken?

Only if you want it.

How about I buy you a drink?

What's your name?

Katrina.

Dillon.

Nice to meet you, Dillon.

So, you come here often?

I'm back. You would not believe

the line
in the lady's room.

So I went to the men's.

Eddie Janko? Is that you?

At a club?

How do you know George?

George, huh?

Eddie, huh?

So how do you two
know each other?

Eddie and I met
at the police academy.

I dropped out.

But Eddie,
of course,

graduated top
of her class.

I'll let you two catch up.

No, hey, hey, wait.

Hey, what are you drinking?

Do you know
that guy's last name?

Do you have a number for him?
Do you know where he lives?

Whoa, Eddie, I did not sign up
for 21 questions.

Let's take shots.

Tina, I am serious.
I think he's a serial rapist

who targets women here.

That dude?

Did he seem odd,
did he threaten you?

I was so happy to see you here,

but of course you were
just working a case.

You've got the wrong guy.

[groans]

Come on.

Janko, where did he go?I tried to stop him.

You should have tried harder.
I heard you on the wire.

Not only does he know your name,
but he knows you're a cop.

I promise you
this will never happen again.

No, it won't.

You're off the case.

Lieutenant Moretti is here, sir.

Let's have him.

Thank you.

Please, have a seat.

This about my son Vincent?

Yes, it is.

Hmm.

Yeah, Patrol Guide,
Section 203-10,

subdivision 2C,

entitled Prohibited Conduct.

"Knowingly associate with
any person or organization

"reasonably believed
to be engaged in

or to have engaged
in criminal activity."

So you do know it.

Yeah, but there's
nothing in that section

about fathers and sons.

Ray...

your son is a grown man
and made his own choices.

And you are fully aware
of those choices.

And their consequences.

Commissioner, "choices."
"Choices" is one of those words

people use to, you know,

to cover a lot of different
s-situations. It...

Ace Double Trey's force him
to take their product?

Force him into debts
that he cannot pay?

I'm sorry.

For what?

For this.

For where we find
ourselves today.

You're a great cop,
and I cannot afford to lose you.

So then don't.

Your son Vincent lives with you.

He has access to your weapon.

Commissioner,
I lock up my firearm.

And not just because of my son,

but because that's
what the job requires.

And you failed
to disclose his past.

Are you saying I should've
turned my back on him, my son?

Because he's an addict?

Your son has complicated
your ability to do that.

The hell he has.

If I had not gotten shot,
none of this would've come out.

Vincent is responsible
for you being shot.

He has put you
and your family at risk.

I'm the reason I got shot.

All the time
I dedicated to the job--

that was time
I didn't spend with my boy.

And here's a question
for you, Commissioner.

What would you do?

What would you do
if it was one of your boys?

[door opens]

[door closes]

You told her.

I work for her--
what do you expect?

Look, the witness
didn't show up in court.

So if what you said was true--
that Deanna instructed

the witness not to show--
that's a serious crime.

I needed to know the source.

You said you'd keep it
between us.

I would've if I could've.

Joe, I need to know

exactly how you came to know

that Deanna told
the witness to flee.

I overheard her on the phone.

Joe, you know better than
to listen in on a privileged

conversation between an attorney

and their client.

It wasn't a client,
it was a witness.

And it shouldn't matter
how I found out.

It was true--
the witness didn't show.

I don't think
I can even use this.

What are you, a saint
or something?No.

I'm not a saint, but

if you knew anything about me,
you would know

that I care about doing
things the right way.

I guess I don't really
know anything about you.

We're sorry
for your loss, Mr. Martinez.

I can't believe
she's gone.

Do you know
if Mimi was sick at all?

No, nothing.

Can you think of anybody
who would want to see her dead?

Dead? No.

But Mimi was a complicated woman

who didn't make it easy
for people to love her.

But you did love her, right?

22 years in June.

So why'd you cheat on her?

[clears throat]

Mimi and I had an understanding.

Sounds like a fancy way

of saying sexless marriage.Excuse me?

I bet you couldn't have been
too happy about that, right?

Am I under investigation
or something?

No, we're gathering insight.

From what I've gathered,
wanting out of a dry marriage

is motive to want her gone.

I wasn't in love with Mimi,
but I still loved her.

Even if she was
difficult and made

enemies everywhere she went.

Enemies like who?

Ashley. Her assistant.

Well, ex-assistant.

Mimi had to let her go
after a casual drinking habit

escalated to a problem.

What kind of problem?

The one where we were left
holding the tab

for a hotel penthouse
that got trashed.

So you're suggesting
a disgruntled

employee wanted her dead?

Yeah, 'cause she wrote
a tell-all book

full of lies
and Mimi refused to pay up.

[door opens]

Hey.Hi.

Oh.

What's all that?

Well, it was to, uh,
celebrate all of your months

of hard work paying off--
surprise.

Well, surprise.

I was pulled off
the undercover assignment.

Then all the more
reason to celebrate

you acing the exam.

Come again?

Now you can focus on your next
steps to becoming a sergeant.

So was this a celebratory dinner

or to game out my next 100 days?

Whoa, easy.

I don't want to be a sergeant.

Well, then why'd you take
the exam?

[sighs]

Because I wanted to prove

that I could qualify, too.

So it's like a competition now?

Yes and no.

Bookies taking bets?

Come on, shut up, I...

I aced that test...

as Eddie Janko.

Not as Sergeant Reagan's wife,

or the police commissioner's
daughter-in-law.

You make it sound
like those things are bad.

No.

It's just the reality
of my life.

I think I would be better
in the field.

Then why'd you give up on the
assignment after one setback?

Because Katie wants
nothing to do with me.

[exhales]
I was burned.

Well, I don't care

if you want to be a sergeant

or a detective or an astronaut--
just don't be a quitter.

[knocking]

You gave Deanna a warning.What are you talking about?

She didn't show up
for work today.

My guess is she learned about
the witness tampering charges,

and you're the only one
I can think of

who would give her a heads-up.What, you think I told her?

Don't act so surprised.

You've already done some
pretty unconventional things.

Yeah, I guess,
but to help put a bad guy away.

From what I know about Deanna,

I don't think
she's the type to run.

Well, what do you know
about Deanna?

Because as far as I'm concerned,
she's an attorney

turned criminal
who should be disbarred.

Well, there's only one way
to find out.

Let's go.

Yeah, you've already
done enough.

Seriously?

Yeah, right now,
you're the only person

who can prove
the witness tampering.

You can't be involved
in the investigation.

And how long were you
Mimi's personal assistant?

[sniffles]
Eight years.

These your text messages?

So what if they are?

Well, they prove
you were blackmailing Mimi.

I didn't have to tell her
she should pay me

before I found
a publisher who would.

So you were doing her a favor
by blackmailing her, is that it?

My tell-all would take down
her empire.

But Mimi refused to pay.

It sounds like you had motive.

Wait.

Mimi was a hard boss.

But I would never kill her.

Right, because you draw
the line at blackmail.

She needed to know that Bill

was a useless piece of crap

with a gambling addiction

and sugar babies on speed dial.

So why not just
tell her the truth?

My bills didn't stop
'cause I got fired.

Well, if all you say is true,
then why didn't she just pay?

He told Mimi

I was a disgruntled
former employee

trying to make a buck.

That's exactly what you were.

But everything I said was true.

True or not, we have grounds
to arrest you right now

for grand larceny
by extortion.

Unless you can help us.

What's it gonna be?

Last I heard,

Mimi was planning
on filing for divorce.

But Bill controlled
50% of their empire.

And stood to get half
of everything in a divorce.

Unless she could prove
he was up to some crap.

And your story
strengthened her case.

Bingo.

August 1989,

he talked a woman off the
Willets Avenue Bridge.

Second day
on the Job.

Talk about hitting
the ground running.

What about
confidential informants?

Boss?

Any C.I. worth cultivating's
bound to have a criminal past.

The best ones have
a criminal present.

Yeah.So cops associate

with known criminals
all the time.

Good cops, anyway.

I had a C.I.
when I was working narcotics.

He knew every great restaurant
in Staten Island.

Boy, did we eat well.

I mean, I was
working him.

And he ended up as key

in cracking
that Pelham Bay Park ring.

We've lost too many good cops.

So...

I try to adjust,
shift my weight a little.

But how many times
can you bend the rules

before the costs
outweigh the benefits?

You got more room.

No, I do not.

This past year
I have been half PC,

half soft touch.

I must've missed
those soft touch days.

Boss, if I may?

You may not.

Any wisdom offered
to make someone feel better

about themselves isn't wisdom.

It's just blowing smoke.

Nobody ever laid
on his deathbed going,

"I wish I had been
more of a hardass."

But... [sighs]

to ask a father
to cut his son

out of his life...

Look, when you take the oath

and you get the shield,

you gain a whole new family.

But family still comes first--
it's in your bones.

Maybe.

Maybe?

Sometimes you have
to make the choice

to throw all that sentimentality
out the window.

And you think Moretti should?

I don't know Moretti.

All I'll say is...

the rule exists for a reason.

And you're privy to that reason.

I am.

That rule was set by my hand.

You made the rule?

So let sleeping dogs lie.

Fat chance.

Okay.

I had a brother-in-law.

Mom had a brother?Name was John.

He started out
with some misdemeanor

collars, and... and
then he started

a loan shark operation.

I got wind of it
and I told him to stop.

And did he?

He responded...

by attacking my partner and I

when we were
policing his corner.

Well, he lost.

And I forbade him to ever
come near the family again.

So you cut him off.

Like he never existed.

Was Mom upset?

[chuckles]
Of course she was.

She know you made the rule?

I told her it
came from Albany.

And she believed you?

I thought so.

[chuckles]
But you don't know so.

I did what I had to do
to keep us safe.

Did you ever regret it?

Not a day in my life.

See, I knew the other guys
weren't as tough as me.

So that's why when I became
PC, I changed the rule.

It wasn't fair that my relative

was putting
my partner's life at risk.

Well, Ashley's alibi checks out.

She was nowhere near Manhattan
at the time of Mimi's murder.

And we confirmed her story

about Mimi about to file
for divorce.

So Bill had motive,

but he was in California.

Mm-hmm.So if she was murdered,

how did he pull it off?

Good question.

But the M.E.'s report just came.

Well, what's it say?

Why don't you take a look?

She died from anaphylaxis.

Uh-huh.An allergic reaction?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God-- nuts!

Mm-hmm.Anyone that watches her show

knows that she is seriously

allergic to nuts.Right.

So maybe it's possible
somebody might've

slipped some, I don't know,
almond milk or hazelnut creamer

into her
morning joe and...

Look at you.

Go ahead and say it.

I was right.

I know you were.

Uh, Janko,

sorry, now's not
really a good time.

No, no, no,
you're gonna want to see this.

Is this the guy from the club?

His name is George Powell.

He's a VP at Niemann and O'Neil,

and his assistant said
he'll be tied up

in meetings
at the office until 6:00.

That's great, but it's
not enough to arrest him.

No, it is,
if we have his victims

positively ID him
in the next few hours.

Good work, Janko.
Let's compile

a photo array and show it
to each of the victims.

Thank you.You're welcome.

Mr. Willis.

Oh, Detectives, hi.

Wasn't expecting
to see you again.

Well, we wanted
to come down ourselves

and let you know
that the M.E.'s report shows

that it wasn't
foul play.

Mimi's death was caused
by an allergic reaction.

An allergic reaction?

[laughs]: Oh, my God.

What a shame that Mimi
had to go out like that.

That's the thing--
it's crazy to me

that you didn't
come get Mimi's epi pen.

Her what?Mimi kept an epi pen
in her dressing room.

Oh, I was not aware.DANNY: Well, that's funny.

'Cause a former employee
said you'd know

exactly where the epi pen
would've been kept.

Oh, please, what,
you're talking to Ashley?

You cannot believe
a word out of that girl's mouth.

You know what doesn't lie?

The security camera
from the coffee shop

that caught
you ordering the lattes.

So what?

I mean, I often treat
my staff to coffee.

Well, you may treat
your staff to coffee,

but according
to the barista on duty,

you never pick up the coffee.

You always send an assistant.

Until, ironically,
the day of Mimi's death.

Mimi gave you your career
and this is how you repay her?

I think I'd like
to talk to my lawyer.

Police, looking for
George Powell.

He's all yours.

George Powell, get up.

[scoffs]Get up, you're under arrest.

For rape and assault.

Is this a joke?Afraid not.
You got to come with us.

Put your hands behind your back.

I'm sorry, everyone,
this is j...

just a big misunderstanding.

No, it isn't.

You were positively ID'd

by the five women
you brutally raped.

And I bet
when we swab your DNA,

it's gonna be a match.

[murmuring, indistinct chatter]

You bitch.

You really had to say that
in front of everyone?

Bitches make the
best detectives.

ALL:
Bless us, O Lord,
for these, thy gifts,

which we are about to receive
from thy bounty

through Christ our Lord, Amen.

All right, wait a minute.

Before we start,
I would like to propose a toast.

[chuckles]Officer Edit Janko-Reagan

received a near-perfect score

on the sergeant's exam.

Thank you.Made us all proud.

Thank you, Commissioner.

So what are
the next steps?

Mm... I'm not sure.

You're not sure
if you're taking them

or you're not sure
what they are?

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, I heard from my buddy
at Detective Bureau

headquarters, uh...

Am I not supposed
to say anything about this?

No, I wanted to be
the one to tell you.

Tell us what?

I've changed my mind

about becoming a sergeant.

It was the right path
for Jamie.

It just isn't the
right path for me.

And that-that's okay.

She recently worked a case
for special victims

and she did a kick-ass job.

Well, I was jazzed
working that case.

But it's not because
it's a better job.

Pay's better.

But it's just
a bit more who I am.

that's great, too.

Yeah, another Detective Reagan.

That's worth celebrating.

Whoa, uh, we have
to see what happens.

I still have to interview.

Well, if you'd like me
to pull some strings,

I know a guy.

[laughter]

Thank you, um...

I'm confident
I can do this on my own.

I mean, with Jamie.

If he hadn't pushed me
to follow through

with that case, perp would
still be on the street.

That was all you.

You're not mad?

Of course not and...

the idea of you running
a role call is pretty funny.

What?Officer Ross, that hair
needs to be up in a bun.

But since I love
the cut, it's fine.

[gasps][laughter]

Well, I couldn't enforce a rule
that I absolutely despise.

That bun is a travesty.[laughter]

To the future
Detective Eddie Reagan.

Hear, hear.

[all toasting]Thank you.

And did she have any issues
with you being a cop?

We really didn't
do too much talking.

You're never gonna believe
what just appeared on my desk.

Appeared? What is this?

Proof that Adrian Edwards
is as much a dirtbag

as we thought he was.

Where the hell
did this come from?

Take a closer look.

Those are some fancy Post-its.

D.P...

Deanna Parker--
are you kidding me?

You took these files
from her apartment?

I cannot look at these.

Clearly, Edwards realized
Deanna knew too much.

No, we don't know that.

These texts are
between the two of them.

Deanna said she was
gonna recuse herself

and then he threatened her life.

If that's the case,
she should've called the police.

Maybe she was scared.

She went rogue
and committed a crime.

It doesn't matter
what she's done wrong.

She's missing
and this guy's dangerous.

We need to find her
before he finishes the job.

Kid's got a point.

Fine.
But this time we do it my way.

By the book.

How'd you find this address?

When Deanna left my apartment

and I called her an Uber.
This is where she went.

I checked it out a few days ago.
It looked abandoned.

Now Adrian Edwards
is hanging out on the porch.

Still, we don't know
Deanna's inside.

Yeah, well, he's on the move.

This has got to be where he's
holding her. We have to go in.

We don't have a search warrant,
and without a search warrant,

we are not entering
that building.

There is a chance
she is being held there

against her will,
in real danger.

Well, looks like
we got probable cause.

Strap in.[engine starts]

'Cause he's got a gun.

[tires screech]

JOE: Police!

Joe, get the gun!
Get the Gun!

I'll call a bus!

[whimpers]You're okay.

You're okay, come on.

How the hell did you find me?Doesn't matter.

We dot to get you out
of here, come on.

Watch.[gasps]

Watch the door.

You're a cop?He's a detective.

It was Hank?

I can't believe it.

He bought the coffee
that killed Mimi,

knowing she was allergic.

Hoping that her death
would appear accidental.

But why?

We don't know,
but it's a good thing

my partner was
so passionate about the case,

otherwise, he might've
got away with it.

Well, thank God he won't.

I can't thank you both enough.

Um, actually,
before we go, wh...

what are your plans,

you know, for the next chapter
of your life?

Next chapter?

Mimi was the breadwinner,
and you worked for her.

So without her,
you're nothing.

Excuse me?

What are those for?

Oh, we forgot to mention.

We did arrest Hank
for Mimi's murder, but

we're pretty certain he didn't
act alone. In fact...

You're the guy we really want.Yeah.

What are you talking about?

Whatever he told you is untrue.

You knew Mimi
was about to leave you.

Your prenup would've left you
living a very different life.

But now that she's gone,
you get everything.

I had nothing to do with this.

I think you did.

So I'll be watching you, and the
moment any money changes hands

between you and Hank,
I am coming for you.

I bet he'll start talking
once he doesn't get

what he's promised.

Pretty unlucky, huh?

Your wife's biggest fan
happens to be

a New York City detective.

Thank you.You're welcome.

You sure you don't want a plate,
Commissioner?

We-we have plenty
left over from dinner.

I already ate.
Thank you, Cheryl.

Well, I guess
I better start the dishes.

[sighs]

You asked me what I would do
if it were my son.

I thought about that.

How old is Vincent?

He'll be 26.

You still living at home
when you were 26?

No, but times are different.

Not that different.

Either he's out of the house

or you're out of the department.

Commissioner, I just... I just
don't know where he would go.

Neither do I. Hopefully...

some kind of rehab.
Doesn't matter.

Well, it... it matters to me.

Of course it does.

But the one thing we both know

is it doesn't work
with him living here.

You do know that, right?

Yeah, I... I guess.

If it were my son,
I'd know it was time

to kick him out.

How I'd know is because my house

just got all shot to hell
with me and my family inside

because he was still
living there.

If you do this...

...he's gonna call you
a hardass.

And, hopefully...

that'll go on for years.

And that's a good thing.

How is that a good thing?

'Cause it means he'd still
be around to call you that.

And you'll still
be around to hear it.

[indistinct chatter]

[whistles]

Bet you didn't
expect that.

I didn't expect you to suggest
this place for dinner.

Well, I guess there's a lot
we don't know about each other.

Like you don't know
I'm a bowling champ

who used to kick your father's
butt right here every week.

Ah, I see.

And I don't know

why you wouldn't tell
a woman that you're a cop

when being a cop
is so important to you.

Honestly?

I didn't want to blow my chances
with the hot lawyer at the bar.

Some women run
towards the uniform,

others run away.
You never know.

Well, that I can understand.

Try telling a guy
you're the trial bureau chief

at the Manhattan
district attorney's office.

[laughs]

Yeah.

So, uh, your dad and I
used to play ten bucks a frame.

Game on. I'm not one to back
down from a challenge.

Neither was your dad.

So I've been told.

You remind me of him so much.

I miss him.

Every day.

But it won't stop me
from taking your money.

Ah.

Sucker.
