Blue Bloods s13e21 Episode Script

1
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
What do we got?
The victim is Rosalie Gonzalez,
23 years old, just moved
in six months ago.
- You the first on the scene?
- Yeah, unfortunately.
What do we know so far?
The call came in as a wellness check.
Her parents hadn't heard from her,
and she didn't show up for work today.
When I got here, I rang the bell,
but there was no answer.
Any signs of forced entry?
No. The back door was open,
but not forced. That's how I got in.
(PHONE RINGING)
The vic's phone. Her
mom's been calling her
- since I got here.
- You got an address?
- Yeah.
- Good.
Make the notification in person.
Will do.
BAEZ: The rosary beads
are black onyx, the note
DANNY: "Return to me,
for I have redeemed you."
- BAEZ: Strangled, posed
- (PHONE RINGING)
it has all the earmarks of
our Dr. Walker.
Yeah, except he's
in Bellehaven right now.
Reagan. (SIGHS)
What?
Rosary beads, posed, note?
Okay, got it.
They just found another victim.
Same MO, except this
one's in Suffolk County.
- Copycat?
- God only knows.
I got to take a road trip.
The city is still continuing
to see a surge in crime
okay, not just quality-of-life,
but violent crime among the homeless
and emotionally disturbed population.
That's about to end.
Oh, is that a crystal ball
you've got there?
No, just a dynamic initiative.
I'm excited to announce
Mission: Open Arms,
a joint effort with the NYPD
to remove and transport
homeless and
emotionally disturbed citizens
from our streets and
to dedicated shelters.
By charging them with what?
They don't need to be charged.
Our finest will be
strategically and humanely
"talking them into handcuffs,"
the first step for their fresh start.
I mean
"talk 'em into handcuffs"?
The only way that works
on our streets, with our cops,
is if that talk starts with
"You're under arrest, dot dot dot."
But the mayor made it sound
like it was an option.
Well, I don't know, Helen.
It's hard to know
what the mayor's thinking,
but you can't just
pluck people off the street
because they might cause a disturbance
or could be bad for tourism.
Commissioner, the mayor called
Mission: Open Arms
a joint effort with NYPD.
Well, I just heard about
"mission impossible"
about an hour ago,
like the rest of the world.
And, look (SIGHS)
I'm just as surprised
and dismayed as my cops.
And that's all, folks.
(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)
I can't go! Please!
My son's at home.
You have to stay still.
Hey, I'm Officer Janko,
this is Officer Badillo.
We're going to help you.
BADILLO: Where's your son?
At home with a neighbor
We got her address.
Okay. We're gonna make sure he's okay.
- (SOBBING)
- Who did this to you?
- Uh, uh
- Did you get a good look at him or her?
Him. Uh, g-gray hoodie,
um, black jeans and
black and red sneakers.
Young? Old?
- Twenties, I-I think
- All right.
2-9 David to central, be advised
we are on the lookout for one suspect.
Male, last seen headed south
on the East River
DISPATCH: wearing black jeans,
a gray hoodie,
and black and red sneakers.
I think this could be him.
- Matches the description.
- Pull us over.
Hey, police. Hold up. Hey!
- (GRUNTING)
- (CRYING)
(SIREN APPROACHING)
Help me cuff him up.
Man, I didn't even do nothing.
Yeah? Why'd you run?
Is it a crime to run?
And what happened to your hands, huh?
Man, that's nothing.
Looks like blood.
You're under arrest for assault.
Looks like you're gonna need a lawyer.
I don't need no lawyer.
You just call Erin Reagan.
Erin Reagan? Why is that?
'Cause she'll take care of me.
Come on.
Fighting fire with fire
just burns down the house.
And what would you have me do?
Shuffle on up to the mic
with marbles in my mouth?
- I'd have you let me do my job!
- Be happy to.
You can start with rewinding the clock
and giving me a heads-up on this.
Boss, to be fair, it
came out of left field.
For all of us.
Let's take a time-out here.
And do what?
Let the mayor rewrite the Patrol Guide?
Look, call his office,
and give him a heads-up
that I'm coming over.
See? No ambush. I'm playing nice.
I'm riding shotgun.
No, you're not. Not this time.
I am not gonna give you a chance
to water down just how insane this is.
I've got a ton of vacation time banked.
High time I took some.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS)
I don't know.
Hi.
Hi
I just wanted to pop by.
I heard that you're announcing
your run at the Bar Association
dinner on Friday night.
That was supposed to be a secret.
I just wanted to wish you luck.
Well, you could've wished me luck there.
I'm not gonna be there.
But you love hosting. Oh.
(SOFT CHUCKLE)
- You bowed out for me.
- It's better this way.
The focus should just be on your run.
Not that your ex-husband
is introducing you.
Anyway, it's, uh, it's no big deal.
I got to go. Um
Break a leg.
Thank you.
- Erin.
- Nice to see you, Anthony.
Hey.
What's going on?
There's a woman, Louise
Johnson, in the hospital.
She was assaulted, beaten
and stomped on by one Tyler Green.
Why is that name familiar?
He was arrested for assault
a couple of weeks ago.
Right. We made him an offer
And agreed to a program,
instead of jail time.
But apparently, he hasn't
shown up for the program.
Well, how's the victim? How's she doing?
I really don't know.
(SEABIRDS CALLING)
(SIGHS)
You know, never thought I'd find you
in a setting like this.
(LAUGHS) Me, neither.
Far cry from Staten Island.
Yeah. Aw.
- You look good.
- You, too.
- Mm.
- So you're the big chief now, huh?
Yep.
Of a town with a quarter
of the number of people
- in the East Village.
- Wow.
- So, not a lot of crime?
- Well
Drunk driver, missing dog,
neighbor dispute,
- but not until a couple weeks ago.
- Yeah.
What's the story?
A, uh, summer renter rented
a bungalow off of Main Street.
Found strangled and posed.
With rosary beads and a biblical quote?
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay."
Yeah, same MO as my guy.
- I'll take it from here.
- Ah, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't think so.
You're the best detective
I've ever worked with, but
this guy is not the only one who
wants a little vengeance, so
we'll work it together.
- I'd love to.
- (PHONE RINGING)
Hey, Baez.
Looks like this isn't
a copycat killer after all.
- Why not?
- BAEZ: Because I just
talked to Bellehaven.
Dr. Walker was released three weeks ago.
(GROANS)
♪
Yeah. And on the given day,
dozens of cops tied up
in wrongful arrest allegations.
Ah, we'd handle that, too.
Mr. Mayor, you can't
just "handle" all of this.
You can if you're me.
I need proof. I need facts.
I need partners who get on board.
And I need partners
who look before they leap.
I did look.
I can't always factor in your
litany of grievances and excuses.
The world moves too fast for that.
Late for the governor.
Well, you're always late.
Who is on board, if you didn't know.
We're not done yet.
Yeah, we kind of are.
I'll ride with you.
How the hell did he get out?
And why the hell didn't you tell me?
Uh, I have no idea what
you're talking about right now.
Dr. Leonard Walker.
The nutjob that killed all those women.
He's in Bellehaven.
No, he was in Bellehaven.
He got out three weeks ago,
and now I got two more
dead women on my hands.
I-I had no idea he was released.
Oh, okay, fine, you didn't
know he was released.
Can we at least charge the guy now?
With what? You have new evidence
tying him to the recent murders?
You mean besides the lock of hair
that he had in his possession?
The one that didn't match
any of our victims?
- Well, what about the rosary beads?
- You have no prints,
no evidence, okay?
He bought rosary beads.
You know how many Catholics
there are in New York City?
You have nothing.
He confessed to me
that he killed those women.
In the waiting room of a psych ward.
And he recanted.
It's your word against his.
I have two more women
killed with the same MO.
What the hell am I
supposed to do with that?
You're supposed to get
some evidence, a witness,
a signed confession,
surveillance video, something.
Something tangible.
- (KNOCKING)
- Hey.
- Erin, we just picked up a guy
- I know, Tyler Green.
And there's nothing I can do
to change it.
I followed protocol.
Meaning she's not in the mood
to help either of us.
Are you kidding me?
I am sick and tired of the two of you
feeling like you can
come up here any time
and complain about what you
think is wrong with the system.
So how about this?
The revolving door is now shut.
Go to any other ADA
with your complaints,
but do not come to me.
You can't ask my cops to haul in
an emotionally disturbed person
based on loopholes in city law.
Do EDPs generally raise
obscure legal technicalities?
Generally, they raise broken
bottles and hypodermic needles.
Charlie, this detour
needs a detour of its own.
Come on, move it.
Get out of the city!
Get out of the city!
What are you doing here?
Get out of here!
Get off of me!
(SIGHS)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
(GRUNTS) Get off of me!
- (GRUNTING)
- WOMAN: You're nothing but trouble.
Get off of him.
(GROANS)
And you want us to round up that
for sleeping in doorways?
And you want some little
old lady to go up against that?
You know what else is way off here?
How my NYPD driver rerouted
to this particular nightmare
of an intersection.
How he slowed to a crawl
the second the light turned yellow.
How damn convenient this is
for your little show-and-tell.
You're saying I set this up?
I wouldn't put it past you.
And it didn't get past me.
You're out of line, Mr. Mayor.
If I am, I'll apologize.
But I want this entire
incident investigated,
reverse-engineered, every single move.
(SIGHS)
Hello, Mr. Walker.
Doctor.
That's right. My apologies.
I forgot. You're a healer.
I didn't have to come in here, you know.
No, you didn't.
And I appreciate you coming in.
I was thinking maybe you could help me
with two more murder victims.
If I can.
Great.
The first is Rosalie Gonzalez.
Same MO as before. Strangled.
Posed.
Biblical quote.
And what makes you think
I'd know anything about that?
She was missing a lock of hair.
Next is Melinda Cohen.
She was renting a home on Long Island.
Ooh, I do like the color
of her nail polish.
Do you?
I believe that's called "ballet pink."
Ballet pink Hmm.
You remember what you
told me before, Doc?
You told me that you killed them all.
No, I don't recall that.
Okay.
With your expertise
and insight, maybe you can
help me figure out who
the person was who did this.
What makes you think
it's only one person?
What are you talking about?
Well, I'm just wondering if
it might be a team.
A teacher and an apprentice.
Who are you talking about?
There is something called
doctor-patient confidentiality.
Which goes out the window
when murder is involved.
But I still wouldn't want
to betray anyone's confidence.
That's fair. I can respect that.
Maybe we could start
with just a first name.
His name's Jeremy.
Jeremy.
Okay.
Does Jeremy have a last name?
I think I've said too much.
I believe he'd be angry that I told.
Maybe I could talk to Jeremy?
You know, take you out of the equation.
You help me, I help you.
No. That makes no sense.
Why not?
I don't need any help.
Ms. Johnson?
I'm ADA Erin Reagan.
I was hoping to ask you a few questions.
Reagan?
Aren't you the one who let
that animal go free?
He was not set free,
he was placed in a program.
And you have the nerve
to come talk to me?
Look at my face.
I can't do much unless you give me
the details about what happened.
What happened was
he was arrested
for assaulting another woman,
three weeks ago.
And you let him loose to do it again
because you don't give a damn
about victims like me.
I'm very sorry that
this happened to you
Get out!
Get out!
(SIGHS)
I can't talk to you right now.
But you can listen.
I didn't mean to set you off earlier.
It's fine, forget it.
Just want you to understand,
it was nothing personal.
Right. "Nothing personal."
You know, every week,
I sit at that table
surrounded by cops.
At this point, I'm the only one
not in the family business.
And that's fine. I I'm fine with it.
But it would be nice if once in a while
you guys realized
that these things hit me
just as much as they hit you.
- I know they do.
- Right, but the difference is
you have 35,000 brothers in blue
who have your back all the time,
especially during tough times.
I don't have that.
I don't have a wall of ADAs
standing up there beside
me to take the heat.
So when my own family piles it on,
it gets a bit much.
Look, I don't know what
you want me to tell you.
Dr. Walker was released
because he was no longer
a danger to himself or others.
Why don't you tell that to the two women
he killed since you let him out?
Then why don't you
arrest him, Detective?
All right. Hold on a second, Doc.
What if it was your
girlfriend, or your wife?
Or your sister or your mother?
Would it be different for you then?
What do you want from me?
He told me that some guy
Jeremy was the killer.
Did he ever mention this Jeremy to you?
- Yes.
- Well, who the hell is Jeremy?
Jeremy is Dr. Walker's
alternate identity.
What are you talking about?
Walker suffers from
Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Multiple personalities?
That's what it used to be called.
It's when you feel the presence
of two or more people
talking and living in your head.
So?
So, Jeremy, I'm afraid, is Dr. Walker.
- You got to be kidding me.
- I wish.
'Fraid not, boss.
How the hell
Cops' chat rooms and forum threads
blew up after the mayor's
appearance on that radio show.
Mostly the usual huffing and puffing.
But there was someone
on the mayor's detail
that put out word
when you got in his ride.
But a decision was made
to detour through those specific blocks.
Yeah. Two homeless shelters,
three liquor stores, four weed shops
and a methadone clinic,
all within 100 feet of that light.
And the EDP was known to the beat cops
to be triggered by official vehicles.
There may have been some
encouragement.
I wish all our cops
could be that resourceful.
We got names.
Of the officers involved.
He gets that, Sid.
Oh. You want 'em up here forthwith?
No.
When, then?
I don't.
I've been PC long enough to know
the culture of this department
can only be seen as top-down.
As stupid as that stunt was,
I'm not throwing anybody under the bus.
I'll take the heat myself.
How many more of these do we have to do?
Just two.
Or three.
Ay, Dios m o. What do you want?
Alissa Martin?
- Depends.
- You were assaulted two months ago?
Yeah. Where were you then?
We have someone in custody we
think might be your attacker.
We want you to come down to precinct,
sit with a detective,
- (SCOFFS)
- look at a photo array,
go over the case.
I don't think so.
Don't you want to find
the guy that assaulted you?
Sure I do. But let's say I cooperate.
Then what? You arrest him
and then he gets released
back onto the street
and who do you think
he'll be looking for?
The bitch that turned him in.
No, thanks.
How many more doors do we need to get
slammed in our face before we decide
- to call it a day?
- (SIGHS)
Wait, don't you think it's weird
that she doesn't want
to help put the guy away?
No. Not in a neighborhood like this.
Did you see the tattoo on her wrist?
I didn't notice. Why?
Louise Johnson had the exact same one.
What are the odds of that?
Three blue stars.
And according to the gang unit,
it's a common symbol for
the Flatbush Disciples.
I'm not familiar with them.
Well, they got their start
out at the projects
in East Flatbush.
Initiation into the gang
includes agreeing to a beatdown.
You can't fight back, you're
supposed to just take your punches.
Wait, you think our vic was
beaten up as a gang initiation?
I don't know, but it would explain
why she wouldn't cooperate with us.
But she described her attacker.
Why would she do that?
I don't know that, either.
But who you know who else is a
member of the Flatbush Disciples?
Tyler Green.
So the buck stops here.
And I'm very sorry.
Thought you had nothing to do with it.
(SIGHS)
Like I said
Yeah, yeah.
The buck stops there.
What about the guilty cops?
They are being dealt with.
How?
Commendations, a parade?
Modified duty, pending investigation.
Your detail is being switched
out even as I speak.
And if the allegations
are substantiated,
they will be sent back to patrol.
You say that like
I'm supposed to salute you
with tears in my eyes.
Who the hell was involved?
That is police business.
It's also City Hall business.
Some of your cops put this city's mayor
in physical jeopardy.
It is an ongoing internal investigation.
Hmm.
I'm dedicating a new intake
facility for our homeless
and mentally challenged,
tomorrow afternoon.
Either you join me at the podium
and sing my praises
like it's the national anthem
or your cops will be ferreted out
and named to the press.
Where's the buck stop, again?
With me.
Then I'll see you there.
♪
I knew I'd find you here.
Ah
- Don't tell Baez.
- Ha.
She's the one that told me
to bring you the coffee.
- Mm.
- So, you're not fooling either of us.
Mm, still Captain Obvious, I guess.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
All right, so what's the plan?
We're gonna sit in front of this
guy's house until he makes a mistake?
I'm just filling in
for the regular detail
till they show up. Walker
didn't show up for work,
I'm hoping he's inside. That's it.
I forgot how personally
you take your cases.
If I remember correctly, you
take them pretty personal, too.
Well, I guess now maybe you lost that
since you moved to Suffolk County.
No.
I just mellowed.
It's hard not to when you realize
there's a portion of the world
that cares if someone's pool
is five feet from the fence, but
that's the world I want to live in.
You know, you should try it.
Yeah, maybe I will.
After we nail this son of a bitch.
Seriously, the longer he's out here,
the more likely it is
he finds another victim.
What about that, uh,
lock of hair we found?
Don't know who it belongs to.
- Try Ancestry?
- Don't have a match yet.
- (PHONE RINGING)
- One second.
Reagan.
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm sitting on his house right now.
(SIGHS) Son of a bitch.
- Yeah, thank you.
- (PHONE CLICKS OFF)
They found another victim.
- Welcome back, Jackie.
- Yeah.
(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)
We got no comment!
Thank you.
You okay?
Do you want a drink?
Just want to forget
this whole thing happened.
It'll all blow over soon.
Well, not for Louise Johnson, it won't.
I mean, even if I can prove
that Tyler Green attacked her,
her injuries didn't
cause permanent damage.
So, without her cooperation,
he's looking at maybe a year?
All because of me.
How were you supposed
to know that Tyler Green
was gonna go out and attack someone?
You don't have a crystal ball.
Well, apparently, I don't
have good judgement, either.
Yeah, you do. You got great judgement.
It was one mistake.
And once this election is over,
you're never gonna have to deal
with this kind of stuff anymore.
- How do you figure that?
- Are you kidding?
You're gonna be too busy
wining and dining and giving speeches
and press conferences
and lobbying politicians.
- Well, I didn't think of it that way.
- Absolutely.
You're not gonna have time
to deal with victims anymore.
And that's what you want, right?
Yeah. Right.
JACKIE: Cassandra Petsanas.
23 years old.
DANNY: Sitting on his house
for hours before you showed up.
If he was there, he couldn't have left.
Maybe he went out the back.
Looks like his phone pinged
about a half a mile from here,
so he was in the vicinity.
And then, after that,
we didn't get any signal.
So he turns off his phone,
kills our vic and then what?
Called the squad, looking for you.
He called the squad looking for me?
What the hell did he say?
The message was
he saw you sitting
out front of his house
and he just wanted
to wish you a good night.
(SCOFFS)
(SIGHS)
Your client is looking at assault one
and attempted murder. That's five to 25.
If he pleads, I can offer ten.
Let's not waste each other's time, Erin.
I know that Louise Johnson isn't
cooperating with your office.
Your client stomped on the victim.
Well, has your victim given
a statement to that effect?
I didn't think so.
Even if you brought this to trial,
you don't have enough to win.
Frankly, you don't even have
enough for an indictment.
Louise Johnson will be cooperating.
Assault three. Six months.
Take it or leave it.
I'll take my chances with the jury.
Fine. Good luck telling the victim
that you screwed her over twice.
We got a match from the hair.
Miriam Walker, 66 years old.
She went missing seven years ago.
Miriam Walker
- Like as in Dr. Walker's mom?
- Looks that way.
She was living in the house
with him when she went missing.
He probably killed her.
We don't have a body.
That's how we're gonna catch him.
- How?
- We're gonna play his game.
My lawyer told me not to talk
to you without her present.
Yeah, she told me
she'll be here any minute.
- Hmm.
- We can wait.
- I think we should.
- Great.
(SIGHS)
(GRUNTS)
What have you got there?
Did you know human hair can last
a very long time like this
in a plastic bag
before it decomposes?
That's not yours.
No, it's not. It's actually
your mother's.
That's what the DNA test said.
Miriam Walker.
Well, she's been missing
for a long time.
What are you saying?
You know, in the Victorian times,
people would take
a lock of hair like this
as a sign of affection
or to preserve someone's memory.
Which one was it for you, Doc?
I know what you're doing.
Do you?
(SOFT CHUCKLE)
You and I, we're (CHUCKLES)
we're not that different.
Actually, we're very different.
You like to murder innocent young women,
and I don't.
But you see yourself as an avenger.
Am I right?
I'd like to ask Jeremy what he thinks.
He doesn't talk to strangers.
Then maybe you should ask him
where the hell he was yesterday
between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30.
Jeremy is unavailable at this time.
Then where the hell were you
between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30?
I was home watching you
sitting outside my house.
I have to leave now.
We're not finished.
I'm sorry, but I have a lot
of work left to do.
Follow me this way.
(SIGHS)
I got nothing from him.
I have some good news.
Apparently, Walker's mother
had a house in Mattituck
registered in her maiden name.
Jackie's securing a warrant.
Great. Do you want to take a ride?
- Yeah. Of course.
- Let's go.
I already told you,
I'm not giving a statement.
so why can't you just leave me alone?
Because we think you haven't
told us the whole truth.
Now I'm a liar?
Your tattoo is from
the Flatbush Disciples.
- So?
- So maybe you got assaulted
as part of a gang initiation.
(GROANS) Oh, my God.
Look, we're just trying to help.
You're accusing me of lying
about being attacked.
You're basically telling me
I asked to get beat up
so I could become part
of the Flatbush Disciples.
- Really?
- JAMIE: You tell us.
We're out there busting our ass
trying to bring Tyler Green to justice
and you're doing absolutely
nothing to help.
I'm not trying to protect myself.
I'm trying to protect my son.
Then tell us the truth.
We can help you with that.
I (SIGHS)
didn't get beat up because
I trying to get into a gang.
I got beat up because
I wanted to get out of it.
What happened when you
asked to leave the gang?
Tyler Green told me the only way
someone can leave the gang
is in a body bag.
(APPLAUSE)
CHASE: and the spirit
of our gathering today
comes right from Emma Lazarus'
beautiful sonnet
inscribed on our Statue of Liberty.
We welcome not only
"your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free"
So if you give in to
blackmail, is it a sin?
Hmm. I'm not sure.
Well, say it is.
So if you defy blackmail,
is it a virtue?
Again, I'm not sure.
CHASE: proud New Yorkers welcome
your marginalized, your disenfranchised,
your mentally and emotionally challenged
yearning to be safe and warm,
fed and cared for.
I'm honored that my partner
in Mission: Open Arms
could be with us today.
Please welcome
Commissioner Frank Reagan.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you, Mr. Mayor,
and thank you, Commissioner Reagan,
for so graciously offering up your time
so that I might celebrate
and bless this
wonderful partnership.
(SIGHS)
We're all God's children,
but in the warp and woof
of the daily grind,
we sometimes forget to recognize
and embrace that.
But today, here
the mayor
and the commissioner
have brought us together in harmony.
With all due respect, Your Eminence
Which always means disrespect
is about to follow.
I am the mayor, on the mayor's schedule.
And I'll be brief
if you'll just be quiet.
Now, a person walks down the block
and the crowds part
and the men tip their hats
and the women curtsy
and a stranger in this town
asks, "Who is that person?"
What town are we in?
Well, the answer is never,
"Oh, he's the commissioner
of this place"
or "He's the archbishop of this place."
No, the answer is always,
"He's the mayor of this place."
He's the mayor of this place
and he deserves your respect.
Hmm?
How long have you been
in office? Three years?
- Three and a half.
- Uh-huh.
He's been rising through
the ranks of the NYPD
since he was 22 years old.
He's forgotten more
about policing this city
than you'll ever learn
about being its mayor.
He's a professional
and as best as they come,
and he deserves your respect.
The uncompromising leader
always goes it alone.
And the people he leads always lose
and suffer because of it.
Start leading together
and save your political grandstanding
for the bathroom mirror.
Huh?
Now shake hands.
I mean it.

- OFFICER: He's upstairs.
- FEMALE OFFICER: Okay.
OFFICER: Uh, you know,
I'm gonna head down to the basement.
FEMALE OFFICER: Sounds good.
Anything?
Yeah, there's food in the fridge,
electricity's been turned on.
Somebody has definitely
been using this place.
All right. Let's keep looking.
Danny, neighbor said
she saw him two days ago.
All right. I haven't
checked the garage yet.
You know what? Get the cadaver dog.
Let's do a once-over.
Search.
Search.
(SNIFFING)
(WHIMPERING)
Looks like we got a hit here, Detective.
- In the wall?
- Yes.
All right, step out.
(THUMPING)
(HOLLOW THUMPING)
Yeah, let's get that open.
(SOFT EXHALE)
I think we found his mother.
Oh.
Wow. What are you doing here?
Uh, not exactly 35,000,
but not bad, right?
Think of us as your
brotherhood of justice.
And sisterhood.
JACK: Not sure where that leaves me.
And what are you doing here?
I heard that, uh, we were
forming a support group,
and I wanted to support you.
JANKO: So, don't leave us hanging,
did you get the indictment?
The jury voted to indict Tyler Green.
Two counts of attempted murder,
one count of assault.
- That is fantastic.
- Yep.
Great investigative work.
I couldn't have done it without you.
ABETEMARCO: All right,
so what do you say
we go out for a drink to celebrate?
- Yeah.
- Great. You buying?
- Yes.
- (LAUGHTER)
And we're gonna go out that way
because there's reporters that way.
JAMIE: All right. Great.
(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)
I would like to make a statement.
Uh, I'm sure you're all hearing
just about now that we got an indictment
in the Tyler Green case,
thanks to the testimony
of multiple victims,
including Louise Johnson.
He will be arraigned in Supreme Court
and is looking at 25 years if convicted.
So justice was served. Today, at least.
Um, recent events have
clarified a few things for me,
so I want to address the question of
when I will be announcing
officially my run
for Manhattan District Attorney.
And the answer to that is:
not this time around.
I believe I am where I need to be
and where I will do the most good.
And, uh
right now, it's as simple as that.
Just a quick question.
So, thank you.
(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)
You ready to celebrate?
- Wow, you are full of surprises today.
- (LAUGHS)
well, you ain't seen nothing yet.
How was your vacation?
Wonderful.
Where'd you go?
Knicks at the Garden,
Hopper at the Whitney
and take-out on my couch.
With a stop at St. Patrick's Cathedral?
Why would I do that?
Because real leaders have a compass
and yours directed you there.
He tell you?
No.
Just a wild guess.
You need a wingman,
whether you know it or not
or like it or not.
If you say so.
Plus, Kearns has God backing him up.
So you had to listen, being you.
Dinner?
Only if you're buying.
Elio's, 7:30.
See you there.
We're done here.
Let's head back to the city.
Good. I don't want
to leave Elena for so long.
I don't blame you.
Jackie said the license plate readers
didn't track Walker's car down here.
Well, he hasn't made it back
to his place in the city.
- What about his phone?
- His phone's off.
TECH: Detectives?
I'm looking for Chief Curatola?
She left a little while ago. What's up?
I think we found something
worth looking at.
May I?
He wore a Con Electric uniform.
That's how he got the girls
to let him in their place.
He wore a Con Electric uniform.
(WHISTLING)
(PHONE RINGING)
Damn.
(EXHALES)
Danny.
We figured out how he tricked the
Listen, let me call you back.
My lights just went out.
The Your l
- (LINE BEEPS OFF)
- Jackie? Hello?
(PHONE RINGING)
(GRUNTS) Oh!
We got to go.
(GASPS)
- Ow!
- (GLASS SHATTERS)
- (YELLS)
- (SCREAMS)
(GRUNTING)
(CLICKS)
- (GRUNTING)
- (TIRES SCREECH)
(SIREN WAILING)
I'll take the front,
you go around the side.
BAEZ: You got it.
Jack?
Jackie?
(GASPING)
Hey.
- Yeah.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Where is he? Where's Walker?
- I don't know. But he left.
- BAEZ: Danny?
- Hey! Take care of her.
- BAEZ: Yeah.
I'm going after Walker.
(COUGHING)
You okay?
(PANTING)
Damn it.
He's in the wind, but he's
running out of places to go.
Yeah. Well, if you hear anything
- You'll be the first call.
- Same.
Got to admit,
it feels like old times
working with you again, Jack.
Yeah. Brought back everything
I hate about the job. (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah, I bet.
- But everything I
- I love about working with you.
- Same.
But you don't miss any of it at all?
I mean, besides working with me? You?
- Yes, I miss you.
- (LAUGHS)
But, no, the city? No, no.
Yeah. Not even a little bit.
Because I don't know,
I finally I found my happy place.
Yeah, you did.
And I think you should, too.
I have.
Yeah, I could tell.
But if I ever need a change of pace,
I'll be knocking on that door
with a six-pack
and a bottle of red wine.
I'd like that.
Me, too. You take care.
(GRUNTS)
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I'm
right where I want to be.
Do you really feel like that?
Like where you are is exactly
where you want to be?
I do.
Turns out, the bluebird of happiness
was in my own backyard.
DANNY: So you're saying putting
dirtbags behind bars
is the bluebird of your happiness?
For me, it is, yeah, mm-hmm.
What about the rest of you?
Well, it definitely is for me,
too, sad to say.
- Me, too.
- Me three.
Me four.
I am sorry that you, and Jack,
came all the way home
for my non-announcement.
Well, sorry not sorry.
It filled this table for
the first time in a long time.
I miss this.
Trust me, I trust you guys
more than you miss me.
I second that.
You realized that you
just seconded that
we don't miss you very much.
Shut up.
Already?
Music to my ears.
(LAUGHTER)
I'm even more proud of you than
if you'd run for office and won.
Thank you.
JAMIE: You would've
never lasted, though.
DA's a political office.
Totally different species
of shark than you.
Hmm.
I think he meant that as a compliment.
- Okay, yeah.
- (LAUGHTER)
Well, you know the PC
has to play in politics, too.
You saying he's a shark?
I'd say he's more bull than shark.
Lone wolf.
Every mayor's white whale.
All of the above.
Hey, I'm just your humble civil servant
trying to get along with everybody.
(FRIENDLY JEERING)
And again
I can't tell you how good it feels to
have the whole
peanut gallery here today.
(CONTENDED SIGH)
Who wants to say grace?
Under the circumstances,
I think it should be a group effort.
There you go.
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
