Blue Bloods s11e12 Episode Script
Happy Endings
- License and registration.
- For what? We didn't do anything.
You went through a red light.
Sped through a red light.
Gun in the back seat! - Whoa, what? - Put your hands on the dashboard.
- Both of you, now.
- O-Okay.
Slowly exit the vehicle and put your hands on the hood.
Now! - Out of the vehicle.
Let's go.
- 2-9-Charlie.
- 10-85 forthwith.
- Keep your hands where - we can see them.
- Holding two armed males at gunpoint.
West End and 61 Street.
Hands on the hood.
All right, whose gun is it? It's not mine.
It's not mine, either.
Hands behind your back.
What do you got? Gun in plain sight in the rear seat.
They're both saying that it wasn't theirs.
Which means they're both getting collared for possession.
All right, I want to give this one to Anti-Crime.
You guys want this collar? Yeah, great.
No.
No, it's our collar.
Well, now it's their collar.
We just arrested them.
Just let this one go, all right? Let's get these guys out of here.
Come on.
Nice work.
The cops say he had a gun.
My son doesn't own a gun.
Okay, you really need to speak to your son's defense attorney about this.
I tried.
He doesn't even know my son's name.
- I'm the prosecutor, ma'am.
- He's innocent.
Yes, everyone here says they're innocent.
But he's trying to get him to plead guilty.
- What kind of lawyer is that? - Mrs.
Hayes.
What if this was your son and you couldn't afford a lawyer? Mrs.
Hayes, you really need to speak to your son's attorney about this.
I can't help you.
Please, Ms.
Reagan.
Docket number CR-012278.
People, State of New York v.
Charles Hayes and Andrew Miles on the charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
Mr.
Miles.
Lawrence Skolnick, representing Andrew Miles.
How does your client plead? Not guilty, Your Honor.
His father, a New York state assemblyman, and his mother, a New York City teacher, are in the gallery.
My client has a spotless record, and, as such, we request he be released on his own recognizance.
The defendants were in possession of a loaded handgun.
As such, they have been charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
We request $250,000 cash or $750,000 bond, Your Honor.
I would like, at this time, to separate our cases.
Andrew Miles would like to make a statement that the gun belongs to Charles Hayes.
Dude, what are you talking about? That gun's not mine.
- No.
Mr.
Hayes, be quiet.
- Stop.
- Stop, that gun is not mine.
- I won't - tell you that again.
- You need to listen to him! I got That is not my son's gun! - Your Honor, please! - I got this.
Please.
- Stop.
- Remove the defendant and his mother from the courtroom.
So, what, I don't get a say, huh? Please! Somebody listen to him, please! Oh, so so, what, I don't have a say? I don't get to plead or anything? What are you doing, man? What are you doing? Sorry about that, Your Honor.
My client, Mister, um Charles Hayes.
Mr.
Hayes, wants to plead not guilty.
The People? Mr.
Hayes has a record for assault.
H-Hold on.
I-I have - his criminal history here somewhere.
- No need.
Mr.
Hayes's bail will be set at $250,000 in cash or a $750,000 bond.
Mr.
Miles will be released on his own recognizance.
Docket number 57219.
People, State of New York v.
Desmond Roy on the charge of assault in the second degree.
What do you got? We got one male, one female, both with gunshot wounds.
He's still talking.
She's circling the drain.
- Charlotte? - Anyone see the shooter? - No witnesses yet.
- Charlotte? Sir.
Detective Reagan.
Did you see who shot you? Charlotte? Charlotte? - Why isn't she answering me? - Lie back, Mr.
Romano.
We're taking care of her.
Did you get a look at the shooter? No.
Please, my girlfriend.
Do you have any idea who would want to kill you? - I'll get you a list.
- Give me the oxygen.
Like who? - Oh, God.
- Let's get them loaded.
She's crashing.
- Scoop and run.
- Let's go! Sir, like who? Sir, who are you Who are you talking about? You can question him at the ER.
What are you doing here? Waiting for you.
Well, that's a nice surprise.
But what's the real reason? I want you to represent Charles Hayes.
Are you serious? He doesn't have money for an attorney.
He has a legal aid attorney.
And you take pro bono cases all the time.
And I would do this why? So the kid doesn't get railroaded.
Adult.
And I think it's because someone got to you, and I'm guessing it was Hayes's mom.
- She swears he's innocent.
- Yeah, right.
And if dear old Mom says he's innocent, then he must be.
Come on, Jack.
You saw what happened in there.
If I do take this case, what do I get? You get to see justice served.
Seen it.
She's a tough customer and a lousy tipper.
Okay.
So, what do you have in mind? Something to make it interesting.
If I take this and Hayes turns out to be innocent, then you have to come away with me for a romantic weekend.
You're asking me to prostitute myself for a good cause? Precisely.
Okay.
If I win, you have to come to family dinner.
And therein lies our difference.
I want to share love, and you want to inflict pain.
But you're on.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I got the groceries.
I'm heading up there now with them.
But I should be home by 11:00.
Okay.
I love you.
Commissioner.
Garrett.
My God.
I guess I don't need to ask how you're doing.
Is this where I'm supposed to say, "You should see the other guy"? I'd like five minutes alone with the other guy.
My hands were full of groceries I'd gotten for my grandma.
He blindsided me.
I couldn't reach my gun fast enough.
We'll get the son of a bitch.
Well, I should've been watching my six.
Look, I don't want you to worry.
We'll handle it.
I'll be in tomorrow.
Abigail, you need time to get better.
I am better.
Could've fooled me.
Please don't.
Don't treat me with kid gloves.
That would be worse than this broken nose.
Uh, I'm Amanda White.
I live next door to Charlotte Kessler.
Is she gonna be all right? We don't know.
But is there anything about the case you could tell us that might help us? She's the sweetest thing, really.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt her.
Uh-huh.
And what about this Romano guy? He's her boyfriend.
I think.
You think? I asked, but she wouldn't talk about the relationship.
Why not? I don't know.
Uh, whenever I asked, she'd just say he has a lot of secrets.
Okay.
In your statement, you say the gun in question - belongs to Charles Hayes.
- That's right.
Where did he get the gun? I don't know.
Why did he get the gun? I don't know.
How do you know it's his? Because I Don't answer that.
You want us to believe the gun belongs to Hayes, but you don't know how he got it, where he got it or why he got it.
My client doesn't have to supply you with the answers you need to convict Hayes.
I just find it fascinating that you didn't ask any questions when your friend brought a loaded gun into your car.
I wish I could help you, but I didn't see a gun.
All I know is there was no gun in my car before he got in.
Okay.
Let's go.
If you have any more questions, you know where to find me, Erin.
Do not call my client directly.
He said, he said.
And it just got even more interesting.
Ballistics is back on the gun.
It's a match of an attempted murder of two people from yesterday.
Yep.
Okay.
Sounds good.
We got one under for assault and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Unless you want to give this collar to someone else.
Do me a favor.
Give him a good toss, put him in a cell.
Officer Janko, can I talk to you for a second? What the hell is that all about? You know what that's about.
I knew this was bugging you.
You're pissed off that I gave your collar to Sullivan and Mathis? Yeah, you gave our collar away without so much as a discussion.
I can't have a discussion with you every time I make a decision around here.
- Well, that's good to know.
- And I gave your collar to Anti-Crime because this is their first week back since they got disbanded, and the lieutenant asked if we could show them some support.
Why didn't you just explain that instead of announcing to everyone that you were reassigning our collar? Do you realize how much it undermines me when you blatantly question the call that I make in front of everyone? So I just have to grin and bear it instead of sticking up for myself? No, you're supposed to act like I'm your supervisor, not your husband.
You're making a bigger deal out of this than it is.
Oh, so, if you'd made a felony gun collar, and roles were reversed, you'd be okay with that? The difference is, I would give you the benefit of the doubt.
All right.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Oh, and don't go poaching our case, okay? Who's poaching our case? Anthony Abetemarco.
They found the gun in the Kessler-Romano shooting.
Did they happen to have a motive to go along with the gun? Hitting a wall, huh? I've run them every which way.
They're both squeaky clean.
Strange we got two seemingly innocent victims both clearly targeted.
Romano himself said that he had enemies.
Enemies who followed him all the way from Oregon to New York to whack him here? Doesn't add up.
Well, it gets weirder.
I called the hospital a few minutes ago to find out if we can go talk to them, and the night nurse told me that there is a U.
S.
Marshal posted outside Romano's room.
A U.
S.
Marshal posted outside of Romano's room could only mean one thing Romano's in Witness Protection.
Good morning.
What are you doing? I work here.
Not today, you don't.
I'm fine.
I don't need or want special treatment.
I thought you were at home.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Did you at least see the department surgeon? How many times do I have to say it? Enough.
Or am I supposed to stay home because it's uncomfortable for you guys to see me beat up like this? No, that's not it, not a bit.
Okay.
Stay.
But you need to stop hounding the case detectives.
I have every right to hound them.
I want this guy off the street.
- We all do.
- Then stop treating me like a victim.
You are a victim, which is exactly why you can't help in the investigation.
He's right.
So both of you would sit back and wait for the investigation to take its course? Give me a break.
She's got a point.
Special Victims is handling the case.
- Special Victims? - Yes.
It appears the perp is a serial robber and rapist.
We believe he's attacked at least five other women in the same area.
Yeah, so you should feel good about being able to fight this guy off.
I should feel good? That's not what I meant.
I don't think that's what he meant.
No, no, no, that came out wrong.
So, I should just stay here and roll calls and make coffee? No.
I should have been able to stop that son of a bitch in his tracks.
If I was still in the field, it never would have happened.
You told me that if I felt I needed to move on, you wouldn't stand in my way.
It's time.
What are you doing here? - Ask you the same thing.
- Does it matter? Are you really moving on from One PP? I may be.
Well, until you do, the boss said you can't work your own case.
And you're here as his mouthpiece? No, I'm here as your colleague.
And a friend.
How'd you know where to find me? Because detectives always return to the scene of the crime.
Even I know that.
So you're not spying on me for the boss? How long have we known each other? Okay, point taken.
Didn't Special Victims already go door-to-door? Yes, over a two-block radius.
I've gone four blocks out.
Got footage of what looks like the perp walking south on Columbus.
- You recognized him? - I recognized his jacket.
But I stopped the video and sent it to TARU to see if it captured his face.
Oh.
Okay.
I just have two more buildings to hit.
We just have two more buildings to hit.
There were no fingerprints on the gun, but we found DNA on the trigger.
Nice.
I'll get a court order for DNA swabs for Miles and Hayes.
Good idea.
Anything else? You asked Jack Boyle to represent Charles Hayes.
I did.
If you had seen the arraignment, the way the court-appointed attorney handled things, you would agree he needed a good lawyer.
Yeah, but there are dozens of great defense attorneys.
Jack just happened to be in the gallery.
Mm-hmm.
So it's not 'cause you still got the hots for Jack? You just like working with him.
Technically, I'll be working against him.
Yeah, but you like him.
You like being around him.
Yes, Anthony, I like him.
I like being around him.
Which is why, once upon a time, I married him.
Yeah.
I don't like him.
- I know.
- Want to know why I don't like him? No, I don't, because I've heard it all from my family before.
Because they don't like him.
So why don't you listen to all the people around you warning you against this guy? Because they hold everything he's ever said and done his entire life against him, forever.
It's called Irish Alzheimer's, where they forget everything except for the grudges.
Hmm.
How you doing, Mr.
Romano? Or is it Mr.
Carpacci? Okay, I'm in WITSEC.
What do you want me to say? How about you start by saying what the hell you're doing in New York City? Born and raised here.
That's what I'm doing here.
You violated the conditions of Witness Protection coming here.
I would love to know who came up with the brilliant idea of putting a born and bred New Yorker in Oregon as a thank you for testifying.
You prefer the brilliant idea of getting whacked for testifying? You recognize either one of these men? No, I haven't seen either of them before.
Any ideas as to who shot you or who would want you dead? Just the obvious one.
Al Locasio.
But he's in prison.
Well, he still has soldiers on the street.
But why now? I'm done answering questions, okay? Thank you.
The gun's not mine.
If you're innocent, as you say.
Why don't you just tell us where the gun came from? 'Cause I don't know.
What, it just appear out of nowhere? I don't know anything about it.
Why are you protecting Miles? I'm not protecting anyone except for myself.
Where were you at 9:00 a.
m.
on Wednesday? Don't answer.
Can I see you outside for a minute? - What's going on? - What? Don't treat me like I'm a first-year, Erin.
Why is Anthony asking him where he was on Wednesday? It's a simple question, Jack.
But why that specifically? Was the gun involved in a crime? Not just a crime.
Attempted murder of two people.
Hayes isn't looking at two years minimum for possession.
He's looking at ten to 15.
You able to come up with a connection between Hayes or Miles and Romano yet? - Not yet.
- Nothing? They never worked together, lived near each other? Common associates? - Nothing.
- Great.
Wait, this is something interesting.
What's interesting? Romano's ex-wife put a post on Facebook outing him as being in the Witness Protection Program, saying that he's been sneaking back to New York, and she'll give his address to anyone who wants to settle a score.
Anyone take her up on it? There's nothing in the comments.
I can't get into her DMs.
We'll have to get a subpoena.
Yeah, we will.
We should also pay her a visit, 'cause it sounds like she's the one who wanted to settle a score.
- Hi.
- I ordered you a beer.
Oh, thank you.
This is so cool.
This is our first girls' night.
Well, actually, this is, um, kind of a work thing disguised as a girls' night.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
What do you need? Thank you.
You were the first officer on the scene with Miles and Hayes.
Yes.
So what's your gut? I mean, did they say or do anything that would lead you to believe that one of them owned that gun? Well, Hayes was more polite and more cooperative.
That could have been because he didn't want to raise any red flags.
- He was nervous.
- But not Miles.
He was mouthing off right away.
He did not care that we were cops.
Because he thought he was innocent? Or because his dad's an assemblyman, and he thinks that that gives him a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Sounds like you believe Hayes.
I just think that Hayes was really shocked when I pulled that gun off the back seat.
Okay.
I'm sorry, I know that's not helpful.
I can't use it, it's speculation.
But it does help, so thank you.
I heard you asked Jack to represent Hayes.
He needed counsel.
Can I ask you a question? - Mm-hmm.
- Um I've met Jack a couple times now, and he's smart and handsome, and you guys seem like a really great couple.
We are not a couple.
You guys have a thing.
You have this incredible energy when you guys are together.
And I-I don't want to overstep, I just I don't understand why you guys got divorced.
We were a great couple.
We worked together, we lived together, we did everything together.
Which I thought meant that we were rock solid.
And it didn't.
And the funny thing is it wasn't just one thing that led to divorce.
It was a million little things.
Like what? Like, he left the toilet seat up? - Or he was chewing too loud? - No.
Like, what? We took each other for granted.
We made unrealistic expectations.
We focused on the flaws instead of what made our love special, and once that's gone, it's it's just hard to get it back.
Oh.
But you don't have to worry about that.
You and Jamie are not gonna let that happen.
Mm-hmm.
Am I late? No, you're not late.
I thought we were starting at 5:00.
The only thing you missed was Sid updating me on you helping Abigail canvas the Upper West Side last night.
That's right.
We also got security footage of the perp.
After me telling her not to investigate.
You ever been a victim, Frank? That would be beside the point.
What exactly is the point? If she keeps working the case, it will be impossible to prosecute.
Right, she wants to work, you tell her she can't work.
She wants to investigate, you tell her to sit at home, as if that's a real possibility.
It's protocol, Garrett.
Protocol be damned.
Is your protocol gonna be a consolation when we lose the best person who ever graced this office? So you're helping her by playing cop? I have no interest in playing cop.
I am interested in being a good friend and colleague to her.
Which means respecting that she was attacked on the street and fought back with everything she had.
But after it was over, you couldn't even look at her, because her injuries remind you that we're all human.
All she's trying to do is validate herself as a detective.
You think I don't know that? Sid, make sure Special Victims does not reveal the identity of the attacker to Detective Baker.
And get her up here, forthwith.
Excuse us.
I don't talk to cops.
It'll only take a few minutes.
No, thanks.
Okay, we can just arrest you instead if you prefer.
For what, jaywalking? No, for this.
So what? I vent on Facebook.
Setting up your ex-husband to be murdered isn't exactly venting, now, is it? I didn't post his address, did I? No, you invited anyone who wanted revenge on him to DM you for it.
Which we're going to get access to, so you can talk to us about it now or you could talk to us about it later.
I heard, he and his new girlfriend got shot.
I'm not involved, but I'm not shedding any tears, either.
Hmm.
Not even for old time's sake, huh? Look, I married a captain in the Luchesse crime family, not an unemployed plumber living in Portland, Oregon.
So you preferred the life of crime? I had a good life with him.
Then he got WITSEC'd.
Now I have a good life and gave up the "with him" part.
Do you recognize either of these two? - No.
- Okay.
And just to clarify, nobody DM'd you looking for your ex-husband's address, right? You're gonna have to answer the question eventually.
You do realize we're gonna subpoena your DMs.
And we will get one.
Uh, you basically offered your ex up as a sacrificial lamb.
Fine.
One person DM'd me.
Who? I didn't recognize the name.
Hayes something.
Hayes contacted Romano's ex-wife to get Romano's New York City address.
For what purpose? To whack him.
What do you think? No, I know, but why? What's the motive? Wh I don't know why.
Do you want to know why I don't know why? Because your son of a bitch ex-husband won't even let me talk to him.
For the first time we agree.
On the "son of a bitch ex-husband" part.
- Amen.
- Sorry to interrupt.
Your assistant was away from her desk.
Come in.
Danny was just saying that you won't let him question Hayes.
Well, if you represented him, you wouldn't, either.
Well, I'm not in the habit of protecting would-be murderers.
Right, uh, the Reagans are all about truth, justice and the American way.
Better than selling your soul to the highest bidder.
Like you do.
I'm not getting paid for this case.
I'm sure you're getting something.
That remains to be seen.
So, you're here to tell us that your client is innocent? He is.
And you know this how? There is no motive, no opportunity.
And he has an alibi for Wednesday, 9:00 a.
m.
, by the way.
Yeah, well, it better be rock-solid.
Yeah.
It is.
So how do you explain him DM'ing Romano's ex-wife for Romano's New York City address? He said Miles was the one who DM'd her, from his account.
The "he said, he said" is growing thin.
Maybe they're both guilty.
Well, that's your job to find out.
And I will.
After all, I'm just the son of a bitch ex-husband.
Commissioner.
We ran the footage you got through facial recognition and got a hit.
Who is he? You're not gonna tell me? We'd like you to identify him.
If that's okay.
It's fine.
Well, you know the drill.
Look straight ahead.
Number four.
Where do you recognize him from? He attacked me on the street, hit me, stole my bag.
I pick the right one? You did.
Thank you, Baker.
Do you still need to speak with me? Not anymore.
You found him pretty quick.
Not me.
Boss put a whole team on this.
Like a man on a mission.
Oh.
You want to make the arrest? I don't think the commissioner It was Frank's idea.
Number four, remain.
Cuff him, get him out of here.
No.
Stand by.
Hey, something smells delicious.
Whoa.
Eddie? Wow.
Hello.
You look Hot? Sexy? Beautiful? Amazing? All of the above.
I feel like I'm the bachelor on The Bachelor.
You're not.
You're just a guy coming home to his wife.
Is something going on? - Nope.
- Did I miss an anniversary - or something? - No.
I just wanted to do something nice for you, so I made your favorite dinner and got your favorite wine and I did want to say that I am sorry if I made you think I was undermining you at work, because that was never my intention.
That? I-I forgot about that already.
Really? Yeah, and I get why you were mad.
So, this isn't gonna become one of those little things that grow into a big thing and then come between us and then we stop looking at all the good things and then more things can be added because sometimes I say things without thinking, and that might become something, and then we lose sight of all the things and then, next thing you know, we might be headed for divorce.
What? Erin said that that's what happened to her and Jack.
Well, you're not gonna alienate me from one disagreement at work.
Well, how many disagreements would it take? You want me to run the numbers on that? No.
No.
Come here.
Thank you.
Okay.
DNA says that the gun belongs to Miles.
Well, and Miles says the gun belongs to Hayes, and we still don't have motive for either one of them.
Well, we got to find something to connect one of them to Romano.
And I've combed through everything.
Uh, phone records, uh, address histories, social media I mean, I got zilch.
What about the DNA swabs? We still got those? Yeah.
Why? Maybe we could run them through an ancestry site.
For what? Might give us something to go on.
Well, that is how they discovered Golden State Killer, through an ancestry DNA site.
Yeah.
It's also how we discovered my nephew Joe Hill.
Well, let's hope we don't discover another Reagan.
What if he looks like me? Hi.
Oh, hi.
This reminds me of when we lived in that studio on 57th Street.
You'd have a big case, and spread the papers all over the bed.
And you'd fall asleep.
That apartment was tiny.
You remember we had that heavy metal drummer next door? And the old lady who would steal our newspapers.
See, some of our memories are good.
Old lady stealing newspapers? You know what I mean.
Um what has you here this late? Uh, something doesn't add up with this gun possession.
And I can't talk to you about it 'cause you're the opposing counsel.
I've been your opposing counsel for years.
That never stopped you.
Guess I don't want to hear you gloat.
"Gloat"? Turns out Hayes is innocent after all.
DNA tests on the trigger came back to Miles.
Well, that's weird.
Why is that weird? Because Hayes just asked me to talk to you about a plea deal.
Jack Boyle is representing Hayes and says he wants to make a plea deal.
His prints aren't even on the gun.
I know.
Doesn't add up.
Any way we can interrogate him? Not with Jack representing him, no way.
So do you think Jack Boyle is Erin's soul mate? No where you going with this? Just answer me.
Yes, actually, I do.
Even though he's a complete jerk.
But they got divorced.
I know, but that got that whole soul-mate thing.
You know, they can't stay away from each other.
Uh-huh.
Someone makes such an impression on you, that you no matter what happens, you never stop thinking about them.
Like Andrew Miles.
Okay, where are we going with this conversation? The ancestry DNA came back.
Was there someone that Miles can't stop thinking about? Yeah, Vito Mangione.
Vito Mangione? The guy that Romano whacked back in the day? Yep.
Outside Roberts Deli in Ozone Park.
Shot him four times.
Mangione died on the scene.
Is Miles somehow related to this Mangione? Mangione is his father.
Romano whacked Miles' father.
Okay.
Now we're getting somewhere.
This better be good.
We wanted to share some information with you and your client.
What you choose to do with it, well, that's between you and the D.
A.
So we're just here out of the goodness of your heart? No, we're here because we know that he shot Romano.
Because Romano killed his old man, right? What are you talking about? Look, we're trying to give him a chance to come clean.
I suggest you take advantage of it.
We know you used Hayes' Facebook account to reach out to Romano's ex, to get his address, so you could wait for him to show up.
Like he did with my dad? Shut up, don't talk.
And you shot him.
Like he did with your dad.
He shot my dad right in front of me.
My God, I was seven years old.
Do you have any idea what that feels like? No, but I imagine it hurt enough for you to want to take revenge.
My dad was my world.
And I watched him die on the street.
And all Romano got was a slap on the wrist.
No, Romano got shot, because you got payback.
Well, almost.
You didn't quite finish the job, did you? You know, the truth is I wish I hadn't have missed.
Let me guess.
Shoofly pie.
Mrs.
Hayes made you one, too? Yeah, she did.
I heard Danny and Baez got Miles to confess.
Yeah, he gives new meaning to the phrase "revenge is best served cold.
" Yeah, I just got back from Rikers.
And Hayes told me that Miles was going to pay him off to say that the gun was his.
And the scary thing is it almost worked.
He was gonna go to jail for him? Yeah.
Till you convinced this great defense attorney to represent him.
I heard it was a particularly talented D.
A.
and a team of investigators.
Well, regardless, uh, I won the bet.
Hayes is innocent.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
So where are we going for our romantic weekend? Yeah, I thought about it.
Um, I am not gonna hold you to that.
- You're not? - No.
I have never had to bribe a woman to go away with me.
Well, I have never broken a promise.
So I'm afraid I'm gonna have to hold you to it.
Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, well, in that case, we'll leave after work tomorrow.
Pick you up at 7:00.
Great.
I have to be back for family dinner.
Yeah.
Um, I'll drop you off.
Okay.
A block away.
I'm here if you need me, boss.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Good morning, Commissioner.
Morning.
Thought I'd fill in.
Till I find a new right hand? If you don't mind.
I don't mind.
I heard you arrested the perp.
I did.
It's a strong case.
It's now five women positively identified him.
Including me.
Nice work, Detective.
So, you You'll fill in here until I find a replacement? As long as it takes.
I'm thinking that might take a long time.
Years, maybe.
Can you handle that? I can.
Good.
But I'll probably need time off for the trial.
We got you covered.
I know you do.
There was a double shooting out in the 6-5.
Two males, one DOA, one likely.
The 5-3 squad collared on that burglary pattern in the Bronx.
Looks like we have our guy.
Uh, delivery on the new harbor launch has been pushed back two weeks.
Two MOS injured in an RMP accident Hi! Okay, everybody, best behavior.
And why do we need to be on our best behavior? It's a surprise.
Hey, it's Jack.
Hi.
- Oh.
- Hi, Uncle Jack.
Jack? It's good to see you.
Oh, thank you, Sean.
We were told to be on our best behavior.
Well, uh that's a relief.
Yes, the best behavior part goes for you, too, Jack.
Uh, noted.
Uh, hope that Finnerty's still does the trick.
I have a feeling we're gonna need some of that tonight.
After you leave.
And a, uh, the pecan pie.
Dad's favorite.
I see you're still sucking up, Jack.
Okay, cut it out.
Uh you can sit next to Danny.
Good luck.
Yeah, have a hot seat, Jack.
Yeah, sit down right here next to your favorite ex-brother-in-law.
I'm sure you remember Eddie? It's nice to share the table with a relative - newcomer.
- That's right, you're the only one at the table these days who's not a blood relative.
Aw.
My condolences.
We actually like her, Jack.
Big difference.
- Let's keep it civil.
- Yeah.
- And thank you for the pie.
- No problem.
We got that at a little outdoor market - in Pennsylvania - Station.
Uh A market in Penn Station.
You took a trip? Together.
All the way to Pennsylvania? It was a romantic weekend? Can't wait till Nicky hears about this one.
- You still came to dinner? - Okay.
Well, um, truth be told, I was only supposed to come if I lost a bet.
- Ah.
- Which he did not lose, but he was gracious enough to come anyway.
Greatest of all time weekend.
And that's enough out of you.
I think maybe he likes being tortured.
Obviously, he just spent the weekend with our sister.
It's all coming back to me now.
Hey, Jack? If you can't take the heat No, I can take the heat.
Well, in that case, you can say grace.
Okay.
Bless us, oh, Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
Amen.
- For what? We didn't do anything.
You went through a red light.
Sped through a red light.
Gun in the back seat! - Whoa, what? - Put your hands on the dashboard.
- Both of you, now.
- O-Okay.
Slowly exit the vehicle and put your hands on the hood.
Now! - Out of the vehicle.
Let's go.
- 2-9-Charlie.
- 10-85 forthwith.
- Keep your hands where - we can see them.
- Holding two armed males at gunpoint.
West End and 61 Street.
Hands on the hood.
All right, whose gun is it? It's not mine.
It's not mine, either.
Hands behind your back.
What do you got? Gun in plain sight in the rear seat.
They're both saying that it wasn't theirs.
Which means they're both getting collared for possession.
All right, I want to give this one to Anti-Crime.
You guys want this collar? Yeah, great.
No.
No, it's our collar.
Well, now it's their collar.
We just arrested them.
Just let this one go, all right? Let's get these guys out of here.
Come on.
Nice work.
The cops say he had a gun.
My son doesn't own a gun.
Okay, you really need to speak to your son's defense attorney about this.
I tried.
He doesn't even know my son's name.
- I'm the prosecutor, ma'am.
- He's innocent.
Yes, everyone here says they're innocent.
But he's trying to get him to plead guilty.
- What kind of lawyer is that? - Mrs.
Hayes.
What if this was your son and you couldn't afford a lawyer? Mrs.
Hayes, you really need to speak to your son's attorney about this.
I can't help you.
Please, Ms.
Reagan.
Docket number CR-012278.
People, State of New York v.
Charles Hayes and Andrew Miles on the charge of criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
Mr.
Miles.
Lawrence Skolnick, representing Andrew Miles.
How does your client plead? Not guilty, Your Honor.
His father, a New York state assemblyman, and his mother, a New York City teacher, are in the gallery.
My client has a spotless record, and, as such, we request he be released on his own recognizance.
The defendants were in possession of a loaded handgun.
As such, they have been charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree.
We request $250,000 cash or $750,000 bond, Your Honor.
I would like, at this time, to separate our cases.
Andrew Miles would like to make a statement that the gun belongs to Charles Hayes.
Dude, what are you talking about? That gun's not mine.
- No.
Mr.
Hayes, be quiet.
- Stop.
- Stop, that gun is not mine.
- I won't - tell you that again.
- You need to listen to him! I got That is not my son's gun! - Your Honor, please! - I got this.
Please.
- Stop.
- Remove the defendant and his mother from the courtroom.
So, what, I don't get a say, huh? Please! Somebody listen to him, please! Oh, so so, what, I don't have a say? I don't get to plead or anything? What are you doing, man? What are you doing? Sorry about that, Your Honor.
My client, Mister, um Charles Hayes.
Mr.
Hayes, wants to plead not guilty.
The People? Mr.
Hayes has a record for assault.
H-Hold on.
I-I have - his criminal history here somewhere.
- No need.
Mr.
Hayes's bail will be set at $250,000 in cash or a $750,000 bond.
Mr.
Miles will be released on his own recognizance.
Docket number 57219.
People, State of New York v.
Desmond Roy on the charge of assault in the second degree.
What do you got? We got one male, one female, both with gunshot wounds.
He's still talking.
She's circling the drain.
- Charlotte? - Anyone see the shooter? - No witnesses yet.
- Charlotte? Sir.
Detective Reagan.
Did you see who shot you? Charlotte? Charlotte? - Why isn't she answering me? - Lie back, Mr.
Romano.
We're taking care of her.
Did you get a look at the shooter? No.
Please, my girlfriend.
Do you have any idea who would want to kill you? - I'll get you a list.
- Give me the oxygen.
Like who? - Oh, God.
- Let's get them loaded.
She's crashing.
- Scoop and run.
- Let's go! Sir, like who? Sir, who are you Who are you talking about? You can question him at the ER.
What are you doing here? Waiting for you.
Well, that's a nice surprise.
But what's the real reason? I want you to represent Charles Hayes.
Are you serious? He doesn't have money for an attorney.
He has a legal aid attorney.
And you take pro bono cases all the time.
And I would do this why? So the kid doesn't get railroaded.
Adult.
And I think it's because someone got to you, and I'm guessing it was Hayes's mom.
- She swears he's innocent.
- Yeah, right.
And if dear old Mom says he's innocent, then he must be.
Come on, Jack.
You saw what happened in there.
If I do take this case, what do I get? You get to see justice served.
Seen it.
She's a tough customer and a lousy tipper.
Okay.
So, what do you have in mind? Something to make it interesting.
If I take this and Hayes turns out to be innocent, then you have to come away with me for a romantic weekend.
You're asking me to prostitute myself for a good cause? Precisely.
Okay.
If I win, you have to come to family dinner.
And therein lies our difference.
I want to share love, and you want to inflict pain.
But you're on.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I got the groceries.
I'm heading up there now with them.
But I should be home by 11:00.
Okay.
I love you.
Commissioner.
Garrett.
My God.
I guess I don't need to ask how you're doing.
Is this where I'm supposed to say, "You should see the other guy"? I'd like five minutes alone with the other guy.
My hands were full of groceries I'd gotten for my grandma.
He blindsided me.
I couldn't reach my gun fast enough.
We'll get the son of a bitch.
Well, I should've been watching my six.
Look, I don't want you to worry.
We'll handle it.
I'll be in tomorrow.
Abigail, you need time to get better.
I am better.
Could've fooled me.
Please don't.
Don't treat me with kid gloves.
That would be worse than this broken nose.
Uh, I'm Amanda White.
I live next door to Charlotte Kessler.
Is she gonna be all right? We don't know.
But is there anything about the case you could tell us that might help us? She's the sweetest thing, really.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt her.
Uh-huh.
And what about this Romano guy? He's her boyfriend.
I think.
You think? I asked, but she wouldn't talk about the relationship.
Why not? I don't know.
Uh, whenever I asked, she'd just say he has a lot of secrets.
Okay.
In your statement, you say the gun in question - belongs to Charles Hayes.
- That's right.
Where did he get the gun? I don't know.
Why did he get the gun? I don't know.
How do you know it's his? Because I Don't answer that.
You want us to believe the gun belongs to Hayes, but you don't know how he got it, where he got it or why he got it.
My client doesn't have to supply you with the answers you need to convict Hayes.
I just find it fascinating that you didn't ask any questions when your friend brought a loaded gun into your car.
I wish I could help you, but I didn't see a gun.
All I know is there was no gun in my car before he got in.
Okay.
Let's go.
If you have any more questions, you know where to find me, Erin.
Do not call my client directly.
He said, he said.
And it just got even more interesting.
Ballistics is back on the gun.
It's a match of an attempted murder of two people from yesterday.
Yep.
Okay.
Sounds good.
We got one under for assault and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Unless you want to give this collar to someone else.
Do me a favor.
Give him a good toss, put him in a cell.
Officer Janko, can I talk to you for a second? What the hell is that all about? You know what that's about.
I knew this was bugging you.
You're pissed off that I gave your collar to Sullivan and Mathis? Yeah, you gave our collar away without so much as a discussion.
I can't have a discussion with you every time I make a decision around here.
- Well, that's good to know.
- And I gave your collar to Anti-Crime because this is their first week back since they got disbanded, and the lieutenant asked if we could show them some support.
Why didn't you just explain that instead of announcing to everyone that you were reassigning our collar? Do you realize how much it undermines me when you blatantly question the call that I make in front of everyone? So I just have to grin and bear it instead of sticking up for myself? No, you're supposed to act like I'm your supervisor, not your husband.
You're making a bigger deal out of this than it is.
Oh, so, if you'd made a felony gun collar, and roles were reversed, you'd be okay with that? The difference is, I would give you the benefit of the doubt.
All right.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Oh, and don't go poaching our case, okay? Who's poaching our case? Anthony Abetemarco.
They found the gun in the Kessler-Romano shooting.
Did they happen to have a motive to go along with the gun? Hitting a wall, huh? I've run them every which way.
They're both squeaky clean.
Strange we got two seemingly innocent victims both clearly targeted.
Romano himself said that he had enemies.
Enemies who followed him all the way from Oregon to New York to whack him here? Doesn't add up.
Well, it gets weirder.
I called the hospital a few minutes ago to find out if we can go talk to them, and the night nurse told me that there is a U.
S.
Marshal posted outside Romano's room.
A U.
S.
Marshal posted outside of Romano's room could only mean one thing Romano's in Witness Protection.
Good morning.
What are you doing? I work here.
Not today, you don't.
I'm fine.
I don't need or want special treatment.
I thought you were at home.
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
Did you at least see the department surgeon? How many times do I have to say it? Enough.
Or am I supposed to stay home because it's uncomfortable for you guys to see me beat up like this? No, that's not it, not a bit.
Okay.
Stay.
But you need to stop hounding the case detectives.
I have every right to hound them.
I want this guy off the street.
- We all do.
- Then stop treating me like a victim.
You are a victim, which is exactly why you can't help in the investigation.
He's right.
So both of you would sit back and wait for the investigation to take its course? Give me a break.
She's got a point.
Special Victims is handling the case.
- Special Victims? - Yes.
It appears the perp is a serial robber and rapist.
We believe he's attacked at least five other women in the same area.
Yeah, so you should feel good about being able to fight this guy off.
I should feel good? That's not what I meant.
I don't think that's what he meant.
No, no, no, that came out wrong.
So, I should just stay here and roll calls and make coffee? No.
I should have been able to stop that son of a bitch in his tracks.
If I was still in the field, it never would have happened.
You told me that if I felt I needed to move on, you wouldn't stand in my way.
It's time.
What are you doing here? - Ask you the same thing.
- Does it matter? Are you really moving on from One PP? I may be.
Well, until you do, the boss said you can't work your own case.
And you're here as his mouthpiece? No, I'm here as your colleague.
And a friend.
How'd you know where to find me? Because detectives always return to the scene of the crime.
Even I know that.
So you're not spying on me for the boss? How long have we known each other? Okay, point taken.
Didn't Special Victims already go door-to-door? Yes, over a two-block radius.
I've gone four blocks out.
Got footage of what looks like the perp walking south on Columbus.
- You recognized him? - I recognized his jacket.
But I stopped the video and sent it to TARU to see if it captured his face.
Oh.
Okay.
I just have two more buildings to hit.
We just have two more buildings to hit.
There were no fingerprints on the gun, but we found DNA on the trigger.
Nice.
I'll get a court order for DNA swabs for Miles and Hayes.
Good idea.
Anything else? You asked Jack Boyle to represent Charles Hayes.
I did.
If you had seen the arraignment, the way the court-appointed attorney handled things, you would agree he needed a good lawyer.
Yeah, but there are dozens of great defense attorneys.
Jack just happened to be in the gallery.
Mm-hmm.
So it's not 'cause you still got the hots for Jack? You just like working with him.
Technically, I'll be working against him.
Yeah, but you like him.
You like being around him.
Yes, Anthony, I like him.
I like being around him.
Which is why, once upon a time, I married him.
Yeah.
I don't like him.
- I know.
- Want to know why I don't like him? No, I don't, because I've heard it all from my family before.
Because they don't like him.
So why don't you listen to all the people around you warning you against this guy? Because they hold everything he's ever said and done his entire life against him, forever.
It's called Irish Alzheimer's, where they forget everything except for the grudges.
Hmm.
How you doing, Mr.
Romano? Or is it Mr.
Carpacci? Okay, I'm in WITSEC.
What do you want me to say? How about you start by saying what the hell you're doing in New York City? Born and raised here.
That's what I'm doing here.
You violated the conditions of Witness Protection coming here.
I would love to know who came up with the brilliant idea of putting a born and bred New Yorker in Oregon as a thank you for testifying.
You prefer the brilliant idea of getting whacked for testifying? You recognize either one of these men? No, I haven't seen either of them before.
Any ideas as to who shot you or who would want you dead? Just the obvious one.
Al Locasio.
But he's in prison.
Well, he still has soldiers on the street.
But why now? I'm done answering questions, okay? Thank you.
The gun's not mine.
If you're innocent, as you say.
Why don't you just tell us where the gun came from? 'Cause I don't know.
What, it just appear out of nowhere? I don't know anything about it.
Why are you protecting Miles? I'm not protecting anyone except for myself.
Where were you at 9:00 a.
m.
on Wednesday? Don't answer.
Can I see you outside for a minute? - What's going on? - What? Don't treat me like I'm a first-year, Erin.
Why is Anthony asking him where he was on Wednesday? It's a simple question, Jack.
But why that specifically? Was the gun involved in a crime? Not just a crime.
Attempted murder of two people.
Hayes isn't looking at two years minimum for possession.
He's looking at ten to 15.
You able to come up with a connection between Hayes or Miles and Romano yet? - Not yet.
- Nothing? They never worked together, lived near each other? Common associates? - Nothing.
- Great.
Wait, this is something interesting.
What's interesting? Romano's ex-wife put a post on Facebook outing him as being in the Witness Protection Program, saying that he's been sneaking back to New York, and she'll give his address to anyone who wants to settle a score.
Anyone take her up on it? There's nothing in the comments.
I can't get into her DMs.
We'll have to get a subpoena.
Yeah, we will.
We should also pay her a visit, 'cause it sounds like she's the one who wanted to settle a score.
- Hi.
- I ordered you a beer.
Oh, thank you.
This is so cool.
This is our first girls' night.
Well, actually, this is, um, kind of a work thing disguised as a girls' night.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
What do you need? Thank you.
You were the first officer on the scene with Miles and Hayes.
Yes.
So what's your gut? I mean, did they say or do anything that would lead you to believe that one of them owned that gun? Well, Hayes was more polite and more cooperative.
That could have been because he didn't want to raise any red flags.
- He was nervous.
- But not Miles.
He was mouthing off right away.
He did not care that we were cops.
Because he thought he was innocent? Or because his dad's an assemblyman, and he thinks that that gives him a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Sounds like you believe Hayes.
I just think that Hayes was really shocked when I pulled that gun off the back seat.
Okay.
I'm sorry, I know that's not helpful.
I can't use it, it's speculation.
But it does help, so thank you.
I heard you asked Jack to represent Hayes.
He needed counsel.
Can I ask you a question? - Mm-hmm.
- Um I've met Jack a couple times now, and he's smart and handsome, and you guys seem like a really great couple.
We are not a couple.
You guys have a thing.
You have this incredible energy when you guys are together.
And I-I don't want to overstep, I just I don't understand why you guys got divorced.
We were a great couple.
We worked together, we lived together, we did everything together.
Which I thought meant that we were rock solid.
And it didn't.
And the funny thing is it wasn't just one thing that led to divorce.
It was a million little things.
Like what? Like, he left the toilet seat up? - Or he was chewing too loud? - No.
Like, what? We took each other for granted.
We made unrealistic expectations.
We focused on the flaws instead of what made our love special, and once that's gone, it's it's just hard to get it back.
Oh.
But you don't have to worry about that.
You and Jamie are not gonna let that happen.
Mm-hmm.
Am I late? No, you're not late.
I thought we were starting at 5:00.
The only thing you missed was Sid updating me on you helping Abigail canvas the Upper West Side last night.
That's right.
We also got security footage of the perp.
After me telling her not to investigate.
You ever been a victim, Frank? That would be beside the point.
What exactly is the point? If she keeps working the case, it will be impossible to prosecute.
Right, she wants to work, you tell her she can't work.
She wants to investigate, you tell her to sit at home, as if that's a real possibility.
It's protocol, Garrett.
Protocol be damned.
Is your protocol gonna be a consolation when we lose the best person who ever graced this office? So you're helping her by playing cop? I have no interest in playing cop.
I am interested in being a good friend and colleague to her.
Which means respecting that she was attacked on the street and fought back with everything she had.
But after it was over, you couldn't even look at her, because her injuries remind you that we're all human.
All she's trying to do is validate herself as a detective.
You think I don't know that? Sid, make sure Special Victims does not reveal the identity of the attacker to Detective Baker.
And get her up here, forthwith.
Excuse us.
I don't talk to cops.
It'll only take a few minutes.
No, thanks.
Okay, we can just arrest you instead if you prefer.
For what, jaywalking? No, for this.
So what? I vent on Facebook.
Setting up your ex-husband to be murdered isn't exactly venting, now, is it? I didn't post his address, did I? No, you invited anyone who wanted revenge on him to DM you for it.
Which we're going to get access to, so you can talk to us about it now or you could talk to us about it later.
I heard, he and his new girlfriend got shot.
I'm not involved, but I'm not shedding any tears, either.
Hmm.
Not even for old time's sake, huh? Look, I married a captain in the Luchesse crime family, not an unemployed plumber living in Portland, Oregon.
So you preferred the life of crime? I had a good life with him.
Then he got WITSEC'd.
Now I have a good life and gave up the "with him" part.
Do you recognize either of these two? - No.
- Okay.
And just to clarify, nobody DM'd you looking for your ex-husband's address, right? You're gonna have to answer the question eventually.
You do realize we're gonna subpoena your DMs.
And we will get one.
Uh, you basically offered your ex up as a sacrificial lamb.
Fine.
One person DM'd me.
Who? I didn't recognize the name.
Hayes something.
Hayes contacted Romano's ex-wife to get Romano's New York City address.
For what purpose? To whack him.
What do you think? No, I know, but why? What's the motive? Wh I don't know why.
Do you want to know why I don't know why? Because your son of a bitch ex-husband won't even let me talk to him.
For the first time we agree.
On the "son of a bitch ex-husband" part.
- Amen.
- Sorry to interrupt.
Your assistant was away from her desk.
Come in.
Danny was just saying that you won't let him question Hayes.
Well, if you represented him, you wouldn't, either.
Well, I'm not in the habit of protecting would-be murderers.
Right, uh, the Reagans are all about truth, justice and the American way.
Better than selling your soul to the highest bidder.
Like you do.
I'm not getting paid for this case.
I'm sure you're getting something.
That remains to be seen.
So, you're here to tell us that your client is innocent? He is.
And you know this how? There is no motive, no opportunity.
And he has an alibi for Wednesday, 9:00 a.
m.
, by the way.
Yeah, well, it better be rock-solid.
Yeah.
It is.
So how do you explain him DM'ing Romano's ex-wife for Romano's New York City address? He said Miles was the one who DM'd her, from his account.
The "he said, he said" is growing thin.
Maybe they're both guilty.
Well, that's your job to find out.
And I will.
After all, I'm just the son of a bitch ex-husband.
Commissioner.
We ran the footage you got through facial recognition and got a hit.
Who is he? You're not gonna tell me? We'd like you to identify him.
If that's okay.
It's fine.
Well, you know the drill.
Look straight ahead.
Number four.
Where do you recognize him from? He attacked me on the street, hit me, stole my bag.
I pick the right one? You did.
Thank you, Baker.
Do you still need to speak with me? Not anymore.
You found him pretty quick.
Not me.
Boss put a whole team on this.
Like a man on a mission.
Oh.
You want to make the arrest? I don't think the commissioner It was Frank's idea.
Number four, remain.
Cuff him, get him out of here.
No.
Stand by.
Hey, something smells delicious.
Whoa.
Eddie? Wow.
Hello.
You look Hot? Sexy? Beautiful? Amazing? All of the above.
I feel like I'm the bachelor on The Bachelor.
You're not.
You're just a guy coming home to his wife.
Is something going on? - Nope.
- Did I miss an anniversary - or something? - No.
I just wanted to do something nice for you, so I made your favorite dinner and got your favorite wine and I did want to say that I am sorry if I made you think I was undermining you at work, because that was never my intention.
That? I-I forgot about that already.
Really? Yeah, and I get why you were mad.
So, this isn't gonna become one of those little things that grow into a big thing and then come between us and then we stop looking at all the good things and then more things can be added because sometimes I say things without thinking, and that might become something, and then we lose sight of all the things and then, next thing you know, we might be headed for divorce.
What? Erin said that that's what happened to her and Jack.
Well, you're not gonna alienate me from one disagreement at work.
Well, how many disagreements would it take? You want me to run the numbers on that? No.
No.
Come here.
Thank you.
Okay.
DNA says that the gun belongs to Miles.
Well, and Miles says the gun belongs to Hayes, and we still don't have motive for either one of them.
Well, we got to find something to connect one of them to Romano.
And I've combed through everything.
Uh, phone records, uh, address histories, social media I mean, I got zilch.
What about the DNA swabs? We still got those? Yeah.
Why? Maybe we could run them through an ancestry site.
For what? Might give us something to go on.
Well, that is how they discovered Golden State Killer, through an ancestry DNA site.
Yeah.
It's also how we discovered my nephew Joe Hill.
Well, let's hope we don't discover another Reagan.
What if he looks like me? Hi.
Oh, hi.
This reminds me of when we lived in that studio on 57th Street.
You'd have a big case, and spread the papers all over the bed.
And you'd fall asleep.
That apartment was tiny.
You remember we had that heavy metal drummer next door? And the old lady who would steal our newspapers.
See, some of our memories are good.
Old lady stealing newspapers? You know what I mean.
Um what has you here this late? Uh, something doesn't add up with this gun possession.
And I can't talk to you about it 'cause you're the opposing counsel.
I've been your opposing counsel for years.
That never stopped you.
Guess I don't want to hear you gloat.
"Gloat"? Turns out Hayes is innocent after all.
DNA tests on the trigger came back to Miles.
Well, that's weird.
Why is that weird? Because Hayes just asked me to talk to you about a plea deal.
Jack Boyle is representing Hayes and says he wants to make a plea deal.
His prints aren't even on the gun.
I know.
Doesn't add up.
Any way we can interrogate him? Not with Jack representing him, no way.
So do you think Jack Boyle is Erin's soul mate? No where you going with this? Just answer me.
Yes, actually, I do.
Even though he's a complete jerk.
But they got divorced.
I know, but that got that whole soul-mate thing.
You know, they can't stay away from each other.
Uh-huh.
Someone makes such an impression on you, that you no matter what happens, you never stop thinking about them.
Like Andrew Miles.
Okay, where are we going with this conversation? The ancestry DNA came back.
Was there someone that Miles can't stop thinking about? Yeah, Vito Mangione.
Vito Mangione? The guy that Romano whacked back in the day? Yep.
Outside Roberts Deli in Ozone Park.
Shot him four times.
Mangione died on the scene.
Is Miles somehow related to this Mangione? Mangione is his father.
Romano whacked Miles' father.
Okay.
Now we're getting somewhere.
This better be good.
We wanted to share some information with you and your client.
What you choose to do with it, well, that's between you and the D.
A.
So we're just here out of the goodness of your heart? No, we're here because we know that he shot Romano.
Because Romano killed his old man, right? What are you talking about? Look, we're trying to give him a chance to come clean.
I suggest you take advantage of it.
We know you used Hayes' Facebook account to reach out to Romano's ex, to get his address, so you could wait for him to show up.
Like he did with my dad? Shut up, don't talk.
And you shot him.
Like he did with your dad.
He shot my dad right in front of me.
My God, I was seven years old.
Do you have any idea what that feels like? No, but I imagine it hurt enough for you to want to take revenge.
My dad was my world.
And I watched him die on the street.
And all Romano got was a slap on the wrist.
No, Romano got shot, because you got payback.
Well, almost.
You didn't quite finish the job, did you? You know, the truth is I wish I hadn't have missed.
Let me guess.
Shoofly pie.
Mrs.
Hayes made you one, too? Yeah, she did.
I heard Danny and Baez got Miles to confess.
Yeah, he gives new meaning to the phrase "revenge is best served cold.
" Yeah, I just got back from Rikers.
And Hayes told me that Miles was going to pay him off to say that the gun was his.
And the scary thing is it almost worked.
He was gonna go to jail for him? Yeah.
Till you convinced this great defense attorney to represent him.
I heard it was a particularly talented D.
A.
and a team of investigators.
Well, regardless, uh, I won the bet.
Hayes is innocent.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
So where are we going for our romantic weekend? Yeah, I thought about it.
Um, I am not gonna hold you to that.
- You're not? - No.
I have never had to bribe a woman to go away with me.
Well, I have never broken a promise.
So I'm afraid I'm gonna have to hold you to it.
Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, well, in that case, we'll leave after work tomorrow.
Pick you up at 7:00.
Great.
I have to be back for family dinner.
Yeah.
Um, I'll drop you off.
Okay.
A block away.
I'm here if you need me, boss.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Good morning, Commissioner.
Morning.
Thought I'd fill in.
Till I find a new right hand? If you don't mind.
I don't mind.
I heard you arrested the perp.
I did.
It's a strong case.
It's now five women positively identified him.
Including me.
Nice work, Detective.
So, you You'll fill in here until I find a replacement? As long as it takes.
I'm thinking that might take a long time.
Years, maybe.
Can you handle that? I can.
Good.
But I'll probably need time off for the trial.
We got you covered.
I know you do.
There was a double shooting out in the 6-5.
Two males, one DOA, one likely.
The 5-3 squad collared on that burglary pattern in the Bronx.
Looks like we have our guy.
Uh, delivery on the new harbor launch has been pushed back two weeks.
Two MOS injured in an RMP accident Hi! Okay, everybody, best behavior.
And why do we need to be on our best behavior? It's a surprise.
Hey, it's Jack.
Hi.
- Oh.
- Hi, Uncle Jack.
Jack? It's good to see you.
Oh, thank you, Sean.
We were told to be on our best behavior.
Well, uh that's a relief.
Yes, the best behavior part goes for you, too, Jack.
Uh, noted.
Uh, hope that Finnerty's still does the trick.
I have a feeling we're gonna need some of that tonight.
After you leave.
And a, uh, the pecan pie.
Dad's favorite.
I see you're still sucking up, Jack.
Okay, cut it out.
Uh you can sit next to Danny.
Good luck.
Yeah, have a hot seat, Jack.
Yeah, sit down right here next to your favorite ex-brother-in-law.
I'm sure you remember Eddie? It's nice to share the table with a relative - newcomer.
- That's right, you're the only one at the table these days who's not a blood relative.
Aw.
My condolences.
We actually like her, Jack.
Big difference.
- Let's keep it civil.
- Yeah.
- And thank you for the pie.
- No problem.
We got that at a little outdoor market - in Pennsylvania - Station.
Uh A market in Penn Station.
You took a trip? Together.
All the way to Pennsylvania? It was a romantic weekend? Can't wait till Nicky hears about this one.
- You still came to dinner? - Okay.
Well, um, truth be told, I was only supposed to come if I lost a bet.
- Ah.
- Which he did not lose, but he was gracious enough to come anyway.
Greatest of all time weekend.
And that's enough out of you.
I think maybe he likes being tortured.
Obviously, he just spent the weekend with our sister.
It's all coming back to me now.
Hey, Jack? If you can't take the heat No, I can take the heat.
Well, in that case, you can say grace.
Okay.
Bless us, oh, Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive, from thy bounty, through Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
Amen.
