Blue Bloods s11e08 Episode Script

1 BAEZ: For once, can we get a homicide in a warm, five-star hotel? Yeah, remind me to put in a request.
What is Nassau County doing here? Don't know.
My guess, probably trying to poach our case.
Detective Raines.
Long time no see.
What are you doing out here? Same as you, responding to a homicide call.
This is Nassau County's case.
On the radio it sounded like NYPD was fishing the body out.
Yeah, because it was tangled up in the rocks over there.
Over there, which is Queens County.
Which is New York City.
Which is our jurisdiction.
No way.
And it's the same M.
O.
as our serial killer.
I'll notify the M.
E.
's office.
You are not taking this case.
How many victims he kill out here? Including this, four.
And that includes a Nassau County detective.
Yeah, and you don't have squat.
And what do you have on him, besides that he trapped the two of you in a basement? (CHUCKLES) Word travels fast.
Okay, to be fair, we don't have squat, either.
Which is why I was gonna suggest that we work it together.
A joint investigation? That's right.
Why'd you do that? You always tell me you don't want me to steamroll people.
Well, this was the one time that I wanted you to.
TORY: Okay, my turn.
Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? That's your big question? It can make or break a relationship.
- I didn't take you as a secret pop fan.
- (LAUGHS) It ain't a secret.
I performed one of their songs in my eighth-grade talent show.
Oh! Ooh.
(LAUGHS) Oh, I see what you're doing.
Trying to distract me so you don't have to choose.
But you do.
It's the end of the world and only one group makes it to the new planet.
Answer in three, two, one.
(GUNFIRE) (TIRES SCREECHING) Tory Please help! (CRYING) Please don't MAN: Let's go, let's go.
Move! OWNER: Stop stealing.
The cops are coming! (SIRENS WAILING) Stop stealing! Stop stealing! The cops are coming! Police! Hey, police, don't move! They're robbing my store! JANKO: Hey, give it up! You're not getting out of here! Ma'am, step outside.
This is a crime scene.
- I'm a reporter.
- I don't care who you are.
Outside, now.
Hey! (GRUNTS) Stop! Don't move.
Hands behind your back.
Too tight.
You're making it tighter when you resist.
- MAN: Get off me.
- You're under arrest for grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Get off me! You pigs suck! Do you really need to hold him down like that? I'm not gonna tell you again.
Step outside.
This is a crime scene.
Do not touch anything.
As you can see, there was barely any damage done to the store, these kids are just trying Miss.
- Hands behind your back.
- No.
You're under arrest for obstruction of governmental administration and criminal trespassing.
You can't arrest me.
- Yeah? Watch me.
- (HANDCUFFS CLICKING) Oh.
Hi.
I'm shadowing my A.
D.
A.
s and you're up.
Okay.
Keisha, this is I introduced myself.
Great.
Keisha, before we go over the statement you gave to detectives, I'll need you to change out of that jacket.
My jacket? I need to voucher it for evidence.
Will I get it back? Eventually.
Tory gave it to me, for my birthday.
And giving it to me will help put away the person who did this.
And so will going over the statement with us.
The more detailed you are, the better.
Now, you told detectives that Malik was the shooter.
- Yeah.
- Are you willing to identify him if this goes to trial? Trial? I will work with you when the time comes, to make sure you're prepared.
But you'll have to point him out.
You mean, he'll be sitting there, in the same room? That's how this works.
But he can't hurt you.
(EXHALES) And there's a possibility that this will never go to trial.
I didn't see anything.
What do you mean? I made a mistake.
Keisha.
No.
I didn't see who killed Tory.
(DOOR OPENS) When you said "shadowing," I assumed that you would be observing, not leading.
You think I'm the reason Keisha changed her mind.
All I know is I had a witness until you just scared her off.
Was I supposed to lie? It would've been nice to be mindful of the fact that she just saw her boyfriend murdered in front of her.
And protecting her from reality is being mindful? There may not even be a trial if Malik takes a plea.
People are entitled to know what they're facing, head-on.
And I don't think that this was the time for that.
When's a good time? When she's about to get on the witness stand? I need Keisha to win this case.
How do you plan to change her mind? I will go talk to her.
We'll both go talk to her.
Great.
Robert Lewis is here.
He's late.
How about I keep him waiting just for the hell of it? Nah.
Let's have him.
(STAMMERS) Arresting a reporter? Really? And nice to see you, too, Mr.
Attorney General.
Have a seat.
You've seen the footage? Of course I have.
One million views and counting, of the NYPD trampling First Amendment rights.
It was a legitimate arrest, Robert.
She interfered with an investigation.
She was doing her job, reporting on a breaking story.
She became the story.
There's a difference.
I don't care how you want to frame this, the press has a right to report stories that affect the citizens of this city.
"Press" is kind of a loose term here.
She's a self-appointed reporter with a YouTube channel.
I'd like you to void the arrest.
All you have to say is, "Upon further investigation, it was determined no crime was committed.
" She committed two crimes.
Obstruction of governmental administration and criminal trespass.
In this climate? Are you serious? Oh, please don't give me "climate.
" My job is not weather-dependent.
She's a reporter with First Amendment rights.
Which do not extend within a crime scene.
She's claiming she's being discriminated against because her pieces question the NYPD.
They don't question the NYPD, they condemn it.
But that has no bearing on this.
It has every bearing on this.
Have you looked around? Your department isn't winning any popularity contests.
We're not entered in one.
Look, Frank, I came here as a courtesy.
I could've went straight to the mayor or the D.
A.
's office.
Well, they're both in walking distance.
And there's the door.
How blind can you be? - You ready to go? - Yeah.
Hey.
Excuse me.
Hey.
We gotta talk.
Now is not a good time.
It'll take one second.
You know Kimberly Crawford, my new boss? Detective Reagan, I've heard a lot about you.
Heard I play nice, hopefully.
Quite the opposite.
Well, ironically, that's why I'm here.
I got a case We're on our way out.
I'd love to hear about your case.
Thank you.
Our serial killer struck again.
I suggested a joint investigation with Detective Raines in Nassau County.
You suggested? I guess you can play nice.
And what do you want from me? It would make things go a lot faster if you could assign an A.
D.
A.
to consolidate the cases.
ERIN: Okay, well, I can do that, but as you know, each county will prosecute their own murders.
Yeah.
Of course.
That's it? That's all.
Great.
Thank you.
"And effective 2400 hours on this date, "the responsibility of issuing New York City "press passes will no longer be undertaken "by the NYPD.
"Going forward, all press passes will be issued by the mayor's office.
" They screwed us by e-mail.
And they didn't even buy us a drink first.
This is all because of that so-called reporter? Baker, get the mayor on the phone, please.
They realize one of these reporters are gonna get hurt? They're picking a fight.
I'm sure they're aware of the risks.
- Whose side are you on? - The side of logic? One of these reporters gets hurt, the cops get blamed.
Then let's make sure no one gets hurt, Sid.
Come on, boss, you know how hard it is rolling up on a crime in progress.
Now we got to worry about a reporter popping up out of nowhere? Then we deal.
That's what we do.
Like we don't have enough to deal with? The mayor is unavailable.
Apparently, he has "a very full schedule.
" (SIGHS) What's the other shoe? His assistant suggested that if you have questions about the press passes, you should talk to the attorney general about it.
(SIGHS) Victim is Sophia Vasquez, 24, from Sheepshead Bay.
Apparent suffocation with a bag, and hands tied behind her back.
Which is his M.
O.
Look, I don't get it.
Y-You guys have his house, you have his mother murdered in the same manner.
How have we not identified him? It wasn't his house.
And she wasn't his mother.
I thought he lived there with his mother.
Well, according to the M.
E.
, she never gave birth.
So, what do you have on this guy? We have a description of the guy from the two officers who came to get us from the basement.
Oh, come on, there were no prints in the house? There were prints in the house, and we got them, but they don't match anyone in the system.
So the question is, how has he been able to float under the radar? Obviously, this guy's good at what he does.
I mean, obviously.
He was able to trap two New York City detectives in a basement, right? What the hell is that supposed to mean? That's the second time you brought it up.
What's your problem? I'm just saying, he knows what he's doing.
Oh, which implies we don't? Look, the guy threw you down a flight of stairs.
I get that this is personal.
I am not working with this guy.
Okay.
All right, stop.
All right? We need to find a common denominator between the victims.
How did he meet them? The social media unit is going over - the vics' phones and computers.
- DANNY: Great.
In the meantime, Sophia Vasquez's autopsy just came in.
You know, to be honest, it only takes two of us to go to the M.
E.
's office.
Okay.
I'll work on what the vics have in common.
- Great.
- Text us, Sherlock, when you solve the case.
Hey, Lou.
Did you log that reporter's phone as evidence yet? I want to put in a search warrant application for it.
I just got off the phone with the chief.
The D.
A.
's office is declining to prosecute.
- Are you kidding me? - Nope.
We had to return the phone and cut her loose.
(PHONE RINGING) Hello? Erin, what the hell's going on? - Can't talk right now.
- JAMIE: I arrest a reporter for trespassing and obstruction and you guys won't prosecute? What the hell is that? I will call you back.
JAMIE: It was a good arrest, Erin Damn it.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) Let me guess, that was your brother calling? The one who arrested the reporter.
Yes, it was.
Tell him that if he has questions about it, he should call me.
Great.
They all have damaged larynx, consistent with being in a choke hold before they're smothered.
Okay, hold on.
So, he comes from behind them and chokes them before he uses the bag? Until they are semiconscious.
And then he uses the bag to cut off air.
Judging by the defense wounds, they try to fight him off as he chokes them to death.
Slowly.
And he uses the see-through bags so he can watch them die.
Were you able to get any of his DNA? I have a semen sample.
He had sex with her? It looks like it, yes.
Well, that's consistent with his M.
O.
on the other three victims.
Ten victims.
What? What are you talking about? I ran his DNA through the federal database.
He's killed at least six other women across the U.
S.
Six more women.
Are you sure? DNA doesn't lie.
BAEZ: And no one has picked up on this until now? Because the victims are runaways, sex workers People nobody would bother to investigate.
Which is why these are the cases that bother me the most.
There's no motive, no opportunity.
No.
Just evil.
Thanks.
We need Keisha to go over the statement that she gave to the detectives.
We could've saved you the trip.
Keisha already told you everything.
She recanted.
She came to her senses.
Keisha, you told detectives that Malik was the shooter right after it happened.
She was confused.
Traumatized.
Without you, Malik could walk.
No.
You can't let that happen.
Then you need to speak up.
No.
She didn't see anything.
She saw everything.
She doesn't know what she saw.
Keisha you said in your statement that Tory was your boyfriend.
He was more than a boyfriend.
Tory was like a son to me.
He was like a son to you, but you're comfortable letting his killer off the hook? Mom, please Keisha, please.
Refill the kettle for me? (TEAPOT RATTLES) We get what you're trying to do here.
Do you know what happens to people who snitch? They end up dead.
We can protect Keisha and your family.
Who's going to protect us? Cops? (LAUGHS) And after the trial? Who protects us when Malik and his crew decide they want revenge on her? What happens to Keisha when she doesn't testify? ERIN: And what kind of message are you sending by telling her not to speak to us? The same message I'm sending you.
I will not let her end up like him.
Well, what time did you sign in this morning? I don't know.
I'm guessing around 5:00 a.
m.
'Cause you couldn't sleep, 'cause you couldn't stop thinking about the case, 'cause you're kind of letting it get personal.
Says the guy who lets almost every case get personal.
Which is why I'm the perfect person to warn you that you're treading into dangerous territory.
You don't understand.
This is the first time in my adult life where I was the victim.
No, I actually do understand.
And we will get the guy.
As long as you don't do what you always tell me not to do, which is get too emotional about a case.
- (SIGHS) - Okay? What do we got so far? His victims all responded to ads on social media for modeling gigs.
So he's pretending to be a modeling scout? He starts with a direct message, "I like your pics, have you ever thought about being a lingerie model?" Well, that makes sense.
They're all runaways who need money.
I guess he figures there'd be less scrutiny, - no family searching for them.
- Right.
So you guys set up the phony account? We made contact with your target.
Did he take the bait? Yeah.
BAEZ: He thinks he's messaging a 19-year-old runaway.
Good.
TECH: He asked for photos.
DANNY: Did you send 'em? He wants to set up a meeting.
Guess he took the bait.
Where? A bar in Little Neck.
Café Martello.
They had your favorite double chocolate.
These are consolation doughnuts, aren't they? - I got nothing.
- Did you check the security cameras? Zilch.
Somebody shot out the video cameras the week before.
I thought I saw a bodega on the corner.
- Erin - Well, what about other witnesses? Eh, look, you know the way these communities get.
People are afraid to speak up, they'd rather play deaf.
And sometimes rightfully so.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Sorry to interrupt.
Any new leads? Uh, not yet.
But we're working on some other angles.
Yeah.
Uh You know, sometimes you need to give people space to change their mind and decide to do what's right.
You came up dry.
Well, we have detectives canvassing as we speak.
Issue a grand jury subpoena to Keisha.
Already done.
And get her back into this office.
It's the only way we'll get a shot at changing her mind.
Or she'll be more determined not to cooperate.
It's not a suggestion.
(SIRENS WAILING) Please, please! Just come, he's been shot.
He's not moving.
I don't know what to do.
What the hell are you doing here? Please, just help him! I-I called 911, I-I don't know I don't know what to do.
2-9 sergeant to Central.
We need a bus, this location.
Put a rush on it.
Sir, I'm gonna put pressure on your wounds.
Help is on the way, okay? - (GASPING) - Did you see who shot him? Is he gonna be okay? Did you see who shot him? Sir, just stick with me, okay? He's late.
He's gonna show up.
- What makes you so sure? - He needs his fix.
RAINES: It's been half an hour.
He'll show.
Okay? Let's give it a minute.
We got someone approaching the van.
What? Who is it? (POUNDING ON VAN) Hey.
Get rid of him.
Who the hell are you? Some guy gave me 20 bucks to deliver this pizza.
- What guy? - I don't know.
- What'd he look like? - I don't know.
Like a regular dude.
You got the sketch? He look like this? I don't know.
He was wearing a hat.
Where'd he go? I don't know.
He left a note.
"You won't catch me.
Enjoy your night.
" (SIGHS) (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) If you decide to testify again, the next step would be going to the grand j Oh, my.
Mrs.
Washington, I'm so sorry.
- I didn't realize Keisha - Keisha, why don't we - go to my office? - Please, Keisha.
Do you know who killed Tory? Mrs.
Washington Do you? You were with him, you saw He would've done anything for you, and you're just going to let his killer go free? - Keisha, please.
Let's go to my office.
- Why, Keisha?! You did that on purpose.
- Excuse me? - You orchestrated the whole thing That Tory's mother would bump right into Keisha.
So what if I did? What happened to playing everything by the book? If Keisha is willing to let a murderer go free, she should be forced to look at the repercussions of that.
I disagree.
Well, I don't look at things from the Reagan perspective.
And what does that mean? You and your family know exactly how the system works and you use it in your favor all the time.
And what exactly does my family have to do with anything that just happened? Your brothers have an E-ZPass right to your door.
Since when is it wrong that NYPD officers and detectives come up to this floor? When you consistently intercede and interfere on their behalf.
All within my legal and ethical limits.
- I didn't say it was illegal.
- No, but you're implying that my family is operating in some sort of corrupt manner.
Not corrupt, just convenient.
Why don't you just say what you need to say.
Get it off your chest.
I think I just did.
Police Commissioner Reagan.
Thank you.
(SIGHS) Boy you got your hand on every scale in town, don't you? Careful there.
Well, you got the charges against her dropped.
What would you call it? I went to you first and you literally showed me the door.
So you strong-armed the mayor into taking away our oversight? You are wasting a lot of capital on this.
Not wasting, gladly spending, which is my prerogative.
When a reporter inserts herself into a crime scene, it puts my cops at risk.
Well, maybe you should look at it as a way to protect your cops, if they have nothing to hide.
Your reporter was on the scene of another looting incident.
The store owner was shot in the chest.
Did she shoot him? Then she had every right to be there.
A piece of advice? (SIGHS) I'm good, thanks.
You and your cops are under siege from all sides, I get that.
But the press, they're just the messenger in this, and you don't kill the messenger.
That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid happening.
So you want the right to arrest reporters - for their own good? - Oh, please.
Well, it walks like a duck.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) You know what's missing in all this, besides common sense? The petition.
- What petition? - The one where the major newspapers and media outlets sign up a bunch of prominent names and drop 'em on my doorstep.
That one.
I don't know anything about a petition.
Yeah, you do.
There is always one in beefs like this.
Well, you're wrong this time.
Or I'm right and they couldn't get any real reporters to sign it.
Or, wishful thinking.
Maybe.
See, people know there's a risk in going on record for the police, so maybe staying on the sidelines is the new sign of support.
And a piece of advice? I'm good, thanks.
(SIGHS) Remind yourself whose side you're on.
Officer Reagan? How is the shop owner? Louis Trattner.
His name's Louis Trattner.
Okay.
How is Mr.
Trattner? He's in critical condition, with a ruptured spleen, and a bullet lodged near his vertebrae.
It's not my fault he was shot.
You got there before us again.
Okay, so now I'm at fault for being resourceful? Did you get a heads-up that they were going to hit again? I don't have to tell you anything.
Did you get 'em on tape, with your phone? Did you get a good look at any of them? Know who any of them are? I'm sorry, I can't help you.
I forgot you only help the criminals.
It's not my job to arrest criminals.
My job is to get stories.
Good to know.
I'm glad Mr.
Trattner could provide you with an exciting story.
I just don't understand why we can't subpoena her phone.
You can if you have proof that she taped the shooting on her phone, which you don't.
And since when are we doing official police business at the family dinner? Like, every week.
We discuss police business, we do not conduct it There's a difference, wise guy.
- And I'm with Jamie on this one.
- Me, too.
Well, no one asked you.
Or you.
- Well.
- Okay.
Guess you're not interested in my opinion.
I'm sure it's the same as every other cop at this table, Pop.
I've seen a lot of her stuff.
She really tries to make you guys look bad.
Tries to or succeeds at doing so? - Does it matter? - Yeah, it matters.
Half the kids at school think that all cops are bad.
- Exactly.
- That's what happens when a reporter slants the story and the listener can't be bothered to seek out the other side.
You mean, the other slant? FRANK: Yeah, I guess I do.
But look, it takes twice the time and energy just to find out the simple truth.
But my partner got shero headlines when she took that guy out and that was the whole story.
And Joe practically got the cover of People.
Well, he deserved it.
What else could they have written about him after what he did? Yeah, how could you put a negative slant on saving a kid from a kidnapping? I'm just saying not all of our press is bad.
And you're right, but a Diane Butler isn't gonna cover Joe's story, or Witten's story.
It goes against her agenda.
- Which is a hundred percent anti-cop.
- Exactly.
So what? I should give you the subpoena because she's anti-cop? You do realize that's against the law.
Maybe we should just go back to hating lawyers instead.
ERIN: Thanks, Pop.
I'll have you know, my boss already hates me because she thinks I play favoritism to all of you.
DANNY: Oh.
There's a fat chance of that.
Excuse me? I called you for help and you blew me off.
The D.
A.
's office is not gonna prosecute a reporter unless the charges are egregious.
She touched evidence, Erin.
Not a case I'd like to try for a first-time offender.
And if the store owner who was shot was Pop? So who's slanted now? I'm just sayin'.
- Yeah, that puts it in perspective.
- Yep.
But don't worry, I get it.
I won't come by to hear "no" - from you any time soon.
- Same here.
Well, great.
Then I'll have time for my own damn cases.
Good.
Then it's settled.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
If I'm being honest, Danny and Jamie are getting all too comfortable coming up to my office and demanding favors.
Well, if you're still being honest, do you really think you would skirt the law to give them what they want? - Never.
- Well, there you go.
But my boss doesn't see it that way.
She thinks that I view all my cases skewed by my family.
Well, she may be right.
Well, gee, thanks, Dad.
Well, I mean, look.
We're all products of our environment to a certain extent.
Ours has always been one of mutual support.
Well, there is such a thing as abusing the privilege.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) You want me to talk to them? No.
Take them out to the woodshed? We don't have a woodshed.
How do you feel about being overlooked? I wasn't overlooked.
I wasn't chosen.
There's a lawyered answer.
I don't know.
You know she may feel she has to prove herself to you.
Why would she? Well, we all walk around with doubts about ourselves and in fear of having them confirmed.
(TAPS FINGER ON TABLE) I certainly do.
She probably has hers.
Well, that just sounds like a fun house mirror without any fun.
Hey.
What're you watching? You're not gonna like this.
BUTLER: What began as an attempt to steal jewelry ended with gunfire in a high-end Chelsea jewelry store when the owner was shot.
TRATTNER: Get out of my store! - I'm gonna call - (GUNSHOTS) Damn it.
She blurred all the faces.
She is the only one who could've recorded that.
If I could just search her phone Isn't she protected under the media shield law? Yeah, but that only extends to traditional news sources, not social media outlets, and definitely not YouTube.
So this isn't a news interview so it might not be protected? It's a crime and she's the only witness.
She's never going to cooperate.
If a judge grants the search warrant, she won't have to.
Hey, just got to the squad, you're not here.
Where the hell are you? Hey.
I'm just checking out an address.
What address? From TARU's list.
Um, it was a location that pinged on Sophia Vasquez's phone.
The address in Gravesend? Yeah.
Apparently it also pinged on Madeline Gleason's phone before she disappeared, too.
The question is, why the hell didn't you wait for me or Detective Raines? Well, I'm not going to ring the bell.
- I just wanted to take a look.
- Look, I'm coming to you right now.
Don't do anything.
I'm not gonna do anything.
(SIGHS) Who are you going to bring in now to try to change my mind? Changing your mind is going to have to come from you.
I don't want him to go free.
So tell us what happened.
Look, if I cooperate it's a death sentence.
And if you don't, it's also one.
What're you talking about? When I was 15, I saw my best friend get killed.
Like you, I was the only witness.
I was afraid of the cops and even more so afraid of the gangs.
So, you know what I did? Nothing.
That decision was a death sentence for me.
It haunted me every single day.
I became a prosecutor to make amends.
What happened to the shooter? He got away with it.
I just want things to go back to normal.
Keisha, they're never going back to normal.
The only thing you can control now is whether you testify or not.
Time to make a choice.
Are you going to run scared? Or are you going to be a strong woman and help us put away Tory's killer? (SOBS) (SNIFFLES) Malik did it.
He shot Tory.
(CRYING) Hey, it's Detective Baez.
I'm off duty.
Can you run a plate for me? New York plate, Mike, Nora, Oscar, 9-1-8-8.
Yeah, I'm on my cell.
Thanks.
This is Detective Baez from 5-4 detective squad requesting a 10-85 and a bus forthwith to 143 Gravesend Neck Road.
(SCREAMS, GASPING) (GRUNTING) (PANICKED GASPING) (YELLS) DANNY (IN DISTANCE): Baez?! Baez! Where you at?! BAEZ (GASPING): Danny.
In here! On the ground.
On the ground now! Get on the ground! Don't move.
You okay, partner? Are you gonna shoot me? Go ahead and shoot me.
Do it.
DANNY: Don't listen to him, you hear me? He gets in your head, he wins.
Don't let him.
- Go ahead, shoot me.
- Shut up! - You won't do it.
- DANNY: Shut up! Because you're weak.
Just like all the other women.
Baez.
Baez! Don't do it.
You lose.
(BREATHLESSLY): Hey.
Hey.
You son of a bitch.
- Is she okay? - No.
- (INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSIONS) - Baez.
- Hey.
- (SIGHS) Hey.
- Baez.
Hey.
- (SIGHS): What? Hey, what the hell is going on? I should've shot him.
No, you shouldn't have shot him.
Are you crazy? You did the right thing.
He purposely preyed on girls he thought no one cared about.
And he won't be able to kill any more now because of you.
- (SIGHS) - Just do me a favor.
Just don't go off on your own again, please? You've done it plenty of times.
In fact, Danny Reagan wrote the book on that.
I don't want you to be like Danny Reagan.
Why not? Because I like Maria Baez.
(SIGHS) Come on.
Let's go.
How'd it go? Good.
The jury really responded to Keisha.
Malik's attorney wants to talk about a plea.
Great news.
I think sharing your story really helped.
Did you ever pursue an arrest in that killing? I didn't have to.
I made it up.
Wow.
I did Keisha a favor.
Keeping that secret would've eaten her alive.
Clearly we approach things differently, have different styles.
Yes, different styles.
Different styles, but we're on the same team.
The same team, different playbook.
Good night, Erin.
Good night.
You got a warrant to search my phone? It's all legal, Ms.
Butler.
Well, I will not testify, even if I am subpoenaed.
It doesn't matter.
We already got the video off your phone, ran it through facial recognition, so we've already arrested the shooter.
So you think it's okay to just trample First Amendment rights to get what you need? I used the law to get what I needed.
Which is exactly why some people hate cops.
Like you? The ends don't justify the means.
I'll sleep just fine tonight knowing that a would-be killer is behind bars.
(DOOR OPENS) A hard copy, as requested.
Thank you, Baker.
Is there something else? No.
You're wondering if I am planning to say or do something that would get me into trouble and the answer is yes.
Should I stay? (SIGHS) I'd like you to, but you can't.
Commissioner, the New York Attorney General, Robert Lewis, is here.
The phones not working? Thank you for taking the trouble.
At what point do we both just say "moving on"? Soon, I hope, Robert.
Uh, we arrested the shooter in the looting incident.
Great news.
The press was afforded full access to the arrest and to the perp walk.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Full transparency, that's what you want.
Yes.
Always.
Full transparency for everybody? Is that the sound of one shoe dropping? Well, I just want to be clear on the protocol moving forward.
If a member of the press, for instance, finds herself or himself with inside information on your office, for example, personal information, does that still call for full transparency? Run that by me again? Diane Butler's phone records.
You were her first call after her release.
Yeah, well, I know her.
She covers my press conferences.
(LAUGHS) That's all you got? Like I'm supposed to say, "Oh, that explains it.
" (SCOFFS) She has my number.
So? And now I do, too.
Got your number.
Look, she's a friend.
Hey, you don't have to explain to me.
But the press might ask how the attorney general's personal number got into a reporter's phone.
- I told you - Or about your use of an official state car and driver for overnight meetings at her East Village apartment.
Hey cops talk.
Small-town cops, big-city cops, New York State Troopers.
Talk about down and dirty.
Well, I don't like it either, Robert, but I didn't pick the fight.
I can talk to the mayor.
About what? About restoring oversight of press passes to this office.
But my personal business is off-limits.
So, full transparency unless it makes you look bad.
Boy, I sure wish my cops had the same courtesy.
We done here? My regards to Mrs.
Lewis.
(SIGHS) - Hi.
- Hi.
Where's Pops? Oh, probably killing it at poker night with his buddies.
You did not need a roast for Sunday dinner.
We can always freeze one.
Hey.
Hey.
Your idea? Their idea.
He threatened us with fishing at 4:00 a.
m.
if we didn't.
And sorry for barging in in front of your new boss.
Sorry for giving you such a hard time.
Won't happen again.
Yes, it will.
Okay, well, I promise to be less like him about it.
Thanks.
Only room for one of those in the family.
Crawford thinks our family has a monopoly on the justice system.
Really? Why don't we give ourselves a raise then.
And a family compound.
I'll be sure and work on that.
