Blue Bloods s12e01 Episode Script

1 BOY: You kidding me? It's not close.
Michael Jordan averaged 30 points per game.
Okay, so LeBron has more rebounds and assists and more games.
MJ never left a game early.
So what? - [TIRES SCREECH.]
- [HORN HONKS.]
What the hell, man?! What the hell are you doing, man?! - Come on! - What is he doing? You trying to run me off the road? Huh? - Oh, you think you own the road?! - Stupid idiot.
Is that a gun? What do we got? Multiple shots fired.
One hit a kid in a stroller.
Michael Carter.
- He's five years old.
- Five years old.
OFFICER: EMS just got here.
DANNY: Let's split up.
Excuse me, sir, I'm Detective Reagan.
- Could you tell me what happened? - I don't know.
My son is shot.
Did you see who shot him? If I did, he'd be dead right now.
I'm going with my son.
- Okay, go ahead.
- Let's go.
Move.
Go on.
Let's go.
Ready, and Hey What about you? And you did you see who shot the little boy? Nobody saw a thing? Five-year-old kid shot in front of a courtyard full of people.
Nobody saw a damn thing.
Pack of lights.
It's, uh, $12.
85.
$12.
85? Get out of here.
I'm sorry.
Give me the cigarettes, you stupid bitch.
Come back when you can pay.
- Hey! - Hey, cut it out! I'll call the cops.
Stop! Get out of here! - You stop.
You stop! - Get out of here.
[YELLS.]
- Stop! - Stop! - MAN: Get out of here! - That's it.
- Go ahead! - Help! Help! I want my cigarettes right now! Police, come quick! There's a man in there and he's going crazy.
- Police! Police.
Back away.
- Oh, hey.
Hey! Hey.
Hey! Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Sir, you're under arrest.
- Help me! - Stop fighting us! - Get 'em off me! - Put your hands behind your back! [OVERLAPPING SHOUTING.]
Let him go.
Let him go! You're murderers! - Let him go! - Sir! Hey, you need to take a step back right now.
- Take a step back right now! - You need to let him go! Everybody! Give us some space, everybody.
- [SHOUTING, CLAMORING CONTIUNING.]
- Take a step back! [CROWD EXCLAIMS.]
Hey! Get back.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
[ALL CLAMORING.]
[ALL SHOUTING.]
- Up against the pole.
- JAMIE: Back up! Step aside.
Make some space.
- You got him? - Yeah.
Put your hands behind your back and stop fighting.
Holster your weapon.
All right, everybody stay calm.
What's this? You told me that you witnessed a homicide as a teenager, and that you always regretted not coming forward.
I told you that was a lie that I used to get our witness to come forward.
But it really did happen.
I found the case.
The murder of Reggie Lewis.
You were interviewed as a witness.
And no one was arrested for it.
Because no one could positively ID the shooter.
Erin, I was 13, and there was no evidence.
There's no statute of limitations on murder.
We can still get this guy.
[SIGHS.]
I'm also calling in our department's chief surgeon to consult as well.
Are there not good doctors here? Oh, of course there are.
Of course there are.
It's GARRETT: Frank.
He's just a boy.
Eli's 15.
He's a good boy.
He never harmed anyone.
He's just a boy riding the bus.
POWER: Anyone with information.
Anyone who was on the bridge or saw who fired into that bus, killing David Hoffman and seriously injuring Elijah Chesnick should call in to the NYPD hotline.
And I'm gonna jump protocol here.
The city is offering a $10,000 reward for the tip that leads to an arrest.
[REPORTERS CLAMORING.]
POWER: Helen.
Helen.
Commissioner Reagan, do you have any leads up to now? Not yet.
We CHASE: Hate Crimes is investigating.
MALE REPORTER: Mr.
Mayor, can you tell us, were the victims targeted because they're Jewish? CHASE: It's too early to tell that right now, Robert.
But it is a fair question, Robert.
But it's too early to call this one.
And I'd remind everyone that, statistically, we are still the safest big city.
A little boy was shot up in Harlem this morning.
An isolated incident.
What are you doing about it, Commissioner? Everything I can, Helen.
At least everything I can with my hands tied behind my back.
- Meaning? - Meaning we're all frustrated.
Because there are too many felons with illegal weapons on the street.
I'm confident that the individual responsible for this will be arrested and charged.
I appeal to the public for any help.
Any information on this so we can bring this killer to justice.
We will keep you informed as things progress.
That's all the questions for today.
[REPORTERS CLAMORING.]
And hands tied behind your back? What the hell? What the hell? You took away Anti-Crime, you cut my numbers in the field and in the budget.
I had no choice with the city council.
I had to.
You don't go to war with the army you want.
You go with the army you have.
And we do, every day.
So it's my fault some crazy person fired into a busload of teenagers? That a kid got shot at a playground.
- That's on me? - Mr.
Mayor, there is a reason crime is rising, and pretending it isn't won't make it go away.
What are you trying to do here, Frank? We're just getting back on our feet, and you want to scare away tourists ranting about more crime, more-more guns.
Your job out there was to answer questions.
Not to supply reporters with headlines.
[SIGHS.]
What happened to you, Pete? You were the law and order mayor.
You were the guy I used to have to hold back.
You know what, Frank? I've got a city on its knees.
My hands are tied just the same as yours.
Mr.
Mayor, call out what's happening.
You and me, together.
I need people to feel safe in this city.
No.
You need people to be safe in this city.
We should get you to the hospital.
- You could have an injury.
- I'm fine.
JAMIE: Okay, we're gonna - take a complaint on this - MAN: No.
Thank you.
Mr.
Tran, in order for us to charge him, you've got to cooperate with us.
Docu Then we have to testify, go to court.
Close the store? We can't miss a day's work.
And what's the point? He'll be released anyway.
No.
If you don't file a complaint the charges may not stick.
Yeah, don't you want justice? I want people to leave us alone.
You okay? Hey.
Hey.
How you been? Good.
Busy.
How you been? Same.
What, you just happened to be in my neighborhood? Well, I'm working a case.
A little boy was shot in a stroller, and I've been canvassing for hours, and, uh, apparently everyone within a two-block radius had their back turned when the boy was shot.
Is he gonna make it? I don't know yet.
You have something of his.
I do.
Can I see it? Look, I don't know why I picked it up and I don't know why I'm here.
I just Hey, hey, hey, I'm glad that you did.
How are your boys? Good, good.
- My youngest just went off to college.
- Ah.
It's his father's.
The baby's father is the key to the case.
He's the reason for the shooting.
His father seemed like a really good man.
I'm getting, uh, rage.
And jealousy.
That's all.
- That's all I have.
- Okay.
You okay? You let all of your cases get under your skin like this? Innocent little kid.
It's kind of hard not to, you know? I know.
- Anyway, thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
The call you went on this morning.
- The deli.
- Yeah, we got two under for criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and assault.
And the other for assault.
- Is that Gillette? - Yeah.
He assaulted me while I was cuffing the suspect.
Hit me from behind.
Do you have any physical injuries? No.
If you don't have any physical injury, then the charge is harassment.
But hitting a police officer is not harassment.
I'm not addressing you, Officer Janko.
You pulled your weapon.
Yeah, I did.
After he hit her.
We have a complaint from a witness on the scene that says that you menaced Gillette with your weapon for no reason.
IAB will be looking into it.
IAB? Are are you serious? You're being modified pending the outcome of the investigation.
But, boss, I Your gun and shield.
I was sitting in the back seat of our car, an old Vista Cruiser parked here, waiting for my dad to drive me to the beach.
Down the block, in front of that church, I saw two people arguing.
Did you recognize either of them? Reggie Lewis and Sandra Harris.
She cleaned houses and he worked in the barber shop.
- What were they arguing about? - I couldn't really hear.
But she was upset.
I saw her pull a gun from her bag, and she just aimed it at him and shot him in the chest.
- Did either of them see you? - She never looked around.
She just shot him and then she turned around and ran away.
How come you never came forward? Word was Reggie had ties to a gang.
I was 13.
My parents were scared.
I was scared.
Mostly, they didn't trust the cops.
What ever happened to Sandra Harris? She moved out two weeks after the murder and no one ever heard from her again.
Did the cops look into Harris for the murder? She was questioned.
There wasn't much of an investigation.
For a murder in broad daylight? 1993.
A Black man killed in Harlem? It didn't even make the paper.
Well, the gun was recovered.
There are prints on it, but there was never a match.
Yeah, but if we can locate Sandra Harris, we could, uh, see if there is a match.
Why, all of a sudden, with all the cases we have, did you decide to reopen this one? I thought you would want to.
I-I thought it would help bring closure.
A lot of times closure's overrated.
[DOOR OPENS, SHUTS.]
You modified Witten? - So? - So, she didn't - do anything wrong.
- Then I'm sure IAB will clear her.
She gets assaulted, and then she's placed on modified assignment.
- How's that make sense? - Very simple.
She menaced a citizen.
- A citizen that assaulted her.
- She has no physical injury and she pulled a gun.
You get hit from behind, you pull your weapon because you got no idea what's coming next.
And now there's a video of a cop holding a gun on a bunch of unarmed bystanders.
We cannot have that.
We can't modify officers without cause.
Excuse me, did you get promoted and I don't know about it? Because the last time I looked, you were a sergeant and I was a captain.
Yeah, then act like one.
You should be standing up for your cops.
You have five seconds to get the hell out of my office, Sergeant.
Can you think of anyone who might have wanted to hurt you or your wife Some form of retaliation or something? No.
I noticed you have no tattoos, so I'm assuming no gang affiliation.
Wait, my son's on a ventilator and you're asking me if I'm in a gang? There's a lot of gang activity in that area.
I got to bring it up.
Look, man, I'm not in a gang, okay? Okay.
Can you think of anyone you may have had words with? I mean, I got into a little back and forth with a guy before the party, but that was nothing.
- What was it about? - He told me to turn off the music and I told him to go to hell.
Do you know who this guy was? I heard his girlfriend call him Larry - when she pulled him away.
- Do you know where he lives? - Hon.
- I got to go.
[DIALOGUE INAUDIBLE.]
[SOBBING.]
No, please, no.
Hi.
You didn't have to come by.
You gonna invite me in? Yeah.
I just wanted to come by and make sure that you weren't you know, maxing out on junk food and vodka.
But thank God.
I feel so much better now.
I'm fine, Eddie.
I'm not fine.
None of this is fine.
You didn't do anything wrong.
And yet Once this investigation is over, you'll be cleared.
Then everything will go back to normal? - Eh.
- People will stop looking at us like we're the enemy? I was at the gym yesterday and there was a guy there wearing a shirt that said, "Blue Lives Murder.
" Hey, it's just one guy.
I was reading one of those cheesy magazines with all the quizzes, and you meet your 18-year-old self, and you only have three words.
What do you say? You know, the first thing I thought of What? "No police department.
" What are you saying, that you don't want to be one anymore? Come on.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Witten, it was just routine.
Someone calls and complains, the department has to go through the motions.
They took my gun and shield.
That doesn't feel like going through the motions.
That feels like a public humiliation.
I'm sorry.
Stop.
I want to make sure that you know that I'm here for you no matter what.
With the last name Reagan.
Ooh, I hope you're not talking about the commissioner, who single handedly reinstated you.
Come on, he has your back.
So do I.
Look, I'm I'm really fine.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I promise.
Okay.
Um, hey, I just I thought that they asked you to turn in all of your guns.
[SIGHS.]
It was my dad's, from when he was on the job.
I'm sentimental about it.
I know this is hard for you.
And I'm here if you need me.
Well, no one is better at a pep talk than you.
To the point of nausea, actually.
Oh.
Well, that's good to know.
[CHUCKLES.]
Good night.
Are you ready to go home or are you sleeping here? It's late.
[SIGHS.]
Some days don't end by the clock.
Okay.
Any update on that mother's boy in the hospital? Eli Chesnick had surgery to remove the bullet.
He's in ICU, but it's touch-and-go.
Looks like we found our guy in the bus shooting.
His car plate was altered, but we were able to locate him using a bumper sticker and an anonymous tip.
- Who's the guy? - One Kenny Kilmer.
42, lives in Dyker Heights.
His social media is full of rants against just about everyone.
He been arrested five times for aggravated harassment and assault, but gets released every time.
And he's been in and out of mental hospitals his whole life.
And why do I think that's not what you stayed late to tell me? The mayor has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning to announce the shooter's arrest.
Solo.
Hmm.
Wow.
Like learning you're getting divorced from a scheduling update.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know.
Hey.
You ever go visit the Statue of Liberty? Yeah.
Once.
I always loved that she was a woman, especially growing up in a house full of boys.
She looks kind of pissed off, you ask me.
Well, I can relate to that, too.
Why does Crawford think I'm trying to sabotage her by opening up this case? It's simple.
She's a D.
A.
and you're a Reagan.
It's a murder.
It should be solved.
Yeah, well, there's a lot of cases need to be solved.
Why this one? I guess I was trying to find some common ground, some insight into her.
Yeah, and what if the insight you get, uh, makes you wish you hadn't? - What is that supposed to mean? - Look, Sandra Harris was a person of interest in the murder, but was never charged.
And there were rumblings that it was an abusive relationship.
She have an alibi? She said she was home at the time.
Her daughter backed her up.
She has a daughter? Leticia.
And? And guess who was best friends with Leticia.
Your friend, the D.
A.
Yeah, that's right.
I got a Larry Wilson residing at 450 East 121st.
- How old? - 28.
- Great.
Flag it.
- Probably just - another dead end.
- Yeah.
Speaking of dead ends, I actually paid a visit to Maggie Gibson yesterday.
You know, the medium? Because you were looking for help or looking for an excuse to see her? I was going to see her for help.
She's been very helpful in the past, right? We're running into dead ends, and she's been right on our cases on more than one occasion.
I get it.
Maybe she'll come up with something.
I got a Larry Knoll.
Lives across from the playground.
He's got a prior for assault.
Really? Well, let's pay this Larry Knoll a visit.
Footage from inside and outside the deli.
You'll see when you watch it that it exonerates Witten.
Where'd you get this? The owner of the deli called me up, gave it to me.
You should have referred it to IAB instead of playing detective.
- I'm not playing anything.
- You think because your name is Reagan that you can bigfoot me.
That's not what I'm doing here, boss.
It's disrespectful.
No disrespect intended.
I even catch you whispering about this case, I'm gonna write you up.
Good to know you have my back as well as Witten's.
Noted, Sergeant Reagan.
Oh, by the way, I need you to address a precinct condition.
Set up a DWI checkpoint from 2200 hours to 0600 hours.
DWI.
You want me to stand around babysitting a bunch of rookies? Are you refusing the assignment? No.
Dismissed.
Excuse me, sir.
Detective Reagan.
My partner, Detective Baez.
- We're looking for a Larry Knoll.
- That's me.
Would you mind putting that down, please, sir? What's this about? It's about an altercation you had yesterday with a Marcus Carter.
I don't even know who that is.
He's the guy you told to shut off his music.
The guy you threatened.
I didn't threaten anybody.
That's not what we heard.
I told him to lower his music.
That's a crime? No, but if you return to the scene a while later and shoot up the place, well, that's a crime.
Are you serious? You're here about the shooting yesterday? I-I didn't shoot anybody.
But you own a Glock.
Yes, I do, and a full carry permit for it.
Can we see your gun? Yeah.
Get a warrant.
Look, for a guy who's innocent, you're being pretty defensive.
I work late nights.
I go to bed sometimes 4:00 in the morning.
Is it too much to ask that jerk not to blast his music under my window when I'm trying to sleep? And now you're sounding a little angry.
You know what? I didn't shoot anyone.
Where were you yesterday at 11:15? I never left my apartment.
And the super can verify that because he was there with the plumber fixing a leak, because no one cares if you work nights.
We'll check it out.
Be my guest.
Maybe Maggie didn't know what she was talking about after all.
Okay, what's your problem with Maggie now? She's not grounded in reality.
Well, maybe that's a good thing.
I mean, we all need an escape from reality.
Ballistics are back.
The bullet that killed Michael Carter matches a gang murder from five years ago.
And that's why.
Reality sucks.
Miss Harris, thank you for coming in.
I'm A.
D.
A.
Erin Reagan.
This is Investigator Abetamarco.
I am Leticia Harris, representing my mother.
What is this about? Well, I mentioned on the phone that, uh, we're taking a look at the murder of Reggie Lewis.
Is there some new evidence? An eyewitness.
Who decided to come forward three decades later.
What was the nature of your relationship with Mr.
Lewis at the time of the murder? We didn't have a relationship.
We heard that you were dating him.
We might have gone on a couple dates.
But you just said that you were not in a relationship.
A date isn't a relationship.
Was he abusive? What are you getting at? I'm trying to establish if your mother ever fought with Mr.
Lewis.
I don't recall.
Is my mother a suspect? Your mother has always been a suspect.
LETICIA: She already gave her statements.
Nothing has changed.
Unless you are charging her, we are leaving.
So what do you think? She guilty? I think once we lift her prints from this, and run it against the ones on the gun, we will see.
You're pretty clever.
Boop.
Oh, maybe I shouldn't have - brought you coffee.
- I need another refill.
Thank you.
Uh, how is the case going? Well, the dad's alibi checked out, so your intuition about him being involved didn't pan out.
It's not intuition.
And I guarantee you the reason for that baby's death is because of the father.
Well, I can't afford to be wrong on this one.
You're not looking in the right place.
And you got all this from a sock? Yeah, I did.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm tired, I'm frustrated.
I know you have a gift.
You really throw yourself into your work.
Well, I like to think that's what makes me a good detective.
It also deprives you of joy.
Joy? When was the last time that you went out? I mean, like, out to have fun.
I don't know.
I I don't know.
- I took my son out to a game.
I.
.
- No, no.
When was the last time you went out with a woman? Uh, where you going with this? No, not romantically, man.
I mean just, like, as a friend to enjoy her company.
I don't know.
Bye.
Bye.
I'm sure glad they got that school bus shooter.
Yeah, there's something about crimes against kids.
DANNY: Tell me about it.
I got a vic who's a five-year-old.
Any closer to the arrest? No, not yet.
That's what really gets to me: The murder of the innocents.
Yeah, and hate crimes.
All crimes are hate crimes.
No such thing as a love crime.
I noticed the mayor held a press conference for the school bus shooting arrest on his own.
How come you weren't there? You have to ask him.
Mm.
Does that mean that the mayor is pissed at you? That's exactly what it means.
Good for Francis.
Let me guess He's worried about tourism.
He should spend a night in a radio car answering calls.
Or in an ER with a vic's family.
Have any of you ever thought about leaving the department? What do you mean? Well, the job gets to you.
A case gets to you so much you feel like packing it in.
Yeah.
Wait a minute, you don't get to answer that one.
What? It's not the job, but it's a job that can grind you down.
This week in particular I thought a lot about how nice it would be not to be an A.
D.
A.
You thinking of a new career, Eddie? I think Witten is.
She feels like nobody is on her side.
Well, that's 'cause nobody is.
Well, that's not true.
Eh Awful lot of hate directed at cops, especially lately.
And it's not just cops.
It's like get in line.
It feels like every week there's some random person getting attacked on the streets for no reason.
And you wonder why he wasn't invited to the press conference? How do you get people to just stop hating? [SCOFFS.]
I don't know, like this.
What we do.
We talk, we listen.
DANNY: Well, mostly, you talk, and we just sit around and listen.
[LAUGHTER.]
Well - ABETEMARCO: Hello.
- [DOOR CLOSES.]
Sandra Harris, uh, gave us her alibi.
And we compared her prints with the ones on the gun.
And it's a match.
But you already knew it would be.
I know what I saw.
You didn't tell us that she had a daughter your age, or that you and Leticia were Best friends.
You watched your best friend's mother kill her boyfriend, and you didn't come forward.
Sandra was a single mom.
I knew if I came forward, Leticia would have been put into the system.
Which means two people would have died that day.
You let her get away with murder.
Not everything is black and white, Erin.
Even at 13, I knew that if I testified, who would believe the word of a child? It wouldn't have been enough.
No one else came forward because everyone knew that Reggie Lewis used to abuse Sandra.
She always had marks on her face that she tried to hide with makeup.
So you think that's why she killed him She finally had enough? - I really don't know.
- What you're basically saying is it was a community service murder.
She killed a man in cold blood.
She planned it, and I watched it, and I did nothing.
And I'm embarrassed about that.
But do I regret my decision? No, I do not.
I was protecting myself, my family and my friend.
I'd do it again.
This is just not what I was expecting.
I-I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this.
Yes, you do.
We're going to arrest Sandra Harris for the murder of Reggie Lewis.
You were released from prison a month ago.
You certainly didn't take long to look for trouble.
I haven't missed a meeting with my P.
O.
, so you can't be coming here harassing me.
No one's harassing you.
Okay? We're just asking a few questions.
So why don't we start with where were you on Thursday at 11:15 a.
m.
? - Why? - A little boy was shot to death.
The bullets matched the ones used in the murder you did time for.
No way.
I had nothing to do with that.
Okay.
You happen to have any guns here? No, 'cause that'd be violating my parole.
Danny.
You mind telling me who that is in the picture there with you? It was my girlfriend, but we broke up.
Girlfriend.
And you were hoping to get back with her? Nah.
She moved on.
I got no beef with her.
She moved on with another guy.
You were jealous, maybe, and feeling a little rage about the fact that - he was raising your son? - What are you talking about? Your son.
She's pregnant in the picture there.
I'm assuming she had the baby.
Your baby.
Little boy named Michael? It only takes a few minutes to test DNA.
Michael's my son.
So? So you didn't even realize that you murdered your own son? I didn't shoot Michael.
Well, you might not have aimed at him, but that's who you shot.
Who were you aiming at, Jason? I wasn't aiming at Michael.
I swear, I didn't even see him there.
You mind stepping over here, sir, please? Right here.
Turn around.
Hands behind your back.
Jason Chavez, you're under arrest for the murder of Michael Carter.
His name is Michael Chavez.
I'm his father, not that guy.
Okay.
Let's go, Dad.
He hit her.
The crowd started taunting, and they were calling us murderers.
You do know you're here as a witness? I know why I'm here.
So there's no reason to be defensive.
If I don't defend my partner, who will? We're not here to prosecute her.
- We're just here to find the truth.
- The truth? She's a great cop who's being raked over the coals for no reason.
She pulled her weapon on an unarmed man.
- Perp.
- And showed no visible injuries.
Why don't I tell you about the invisible injuries? You want to hear about those? How about you just answer our questions? Why does it feel like she is being presumed guilty until proven innocent? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? We haven't made a final determination You are supposed to be impartial.
But that's what's wrong, right, these days? Nobody's impartial.
Cops are hated.
That hate is infecting this whole city, and frankly, it's infecting this investigation.
Because you can take whatever you want, and you can twist it to suit whatever you have already determined.
But she's done nothing wrong.
Are you done? Can we get on with the questions now? What do you got? I promised the community a bigger police presence.
I know.
I watched the press conference.
Gonna be tough to make good on that with less police and less money.
I'm not discussing rolling back policies with you.
Right now, my job is to get the city back up to speed.
The victim's parents will be thrilled to hear that.
There's always gonna be random crime.
And there is going to be more of it if you don't work with me.
"Work with you" translates to lift all the restrictions on your department.
Reinstate Anti-Crime, hire more cops.
Great.
Glad we agree.
Answer's no.
Let's move on.
I heard you have an arrest in that other shooting.
We do.
That's great.
We should announce it this afternoon.
You can announce it.
I don't need to be there.
You'll be there.
I am not going to stand next to you and pretend your policies are working when they are not.
Yeah, policies, plural.
And some of mine are working damn well.
And yes, there's gonna be some less-than-ideal impact in other areas, and that's called governing in the real world.
Me wanting to grow back our economy isn't what's causing your crime wave, Frank.
My crime wave? It is your department.
Well, at least you got that right.
[SIGHS.]
Did you make an arrest? I did.
It was the father.
The biological father.
- Oh.
- Apparently he was trying to shoot Michael's stepdad 'cause he was jealous that he was raising his son as his own.
- Mm-hmm.
- Jealousy and rage.
You were right, again.
I wish I wasn't.
You were also right about me.
With Linda.
I I don't know, I buried myself into my work after she passed away, and I've talked to people and tried to pull myself out of it, but somehow it seems I just keep getting buried deeper in the job.
I mean, my job is not the same as yours, but it takes a big emotional toll.
I wouldn't be able to continue doing it if I didn't let off some steam every now and then.
- I'm trying.
- You know, there is a great karaoke place two blocks away, and the only thing killer are the margaritas.
Karaoke's I-I don't think so.
Come on, just two friends.
I guarantee you will have a great time.
I know, and I thank you.
I just Maybe another time.
- Okay.
- Okay.
What are you gonna do with it? With - the sock.
- The sock.
Uh-huh.
You know, actually, I was gonna give it to Michael's stepdad.
The real man who raised him.
I think that's good.
Yeah.
You don't have to carry that stuff around, you know.
I know.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You meet your 18-year-old self, and you can only say three words.
What do you say? Skip law school.
You? I don't know.
How'd it go with IAB? Even if Witten is returned to full duty, she's not sure she even wants to be a cop.
If you don't think you can do this job, then you can't.
[SIGHS.]
It challenges you in so many ways, not the least of which is up here.
Especially lately.
If she's not up for it, then she should leave the Department.
But it's not that she's not strong enough, it's that the bad is far outweighing the good.
Not for everyone.
Not for you.
That's true.
But it's not like I've experienced much good lately.
Oh, yeah? Well, hop in.
Where are we going? - You'll see, let's go.
- Get in.
Take your hands off of her! Why are you arresting her? Stop right now.
Take your hands off of her.
Why are you arresting her? For the murder of Reggie Lewis.
You have no evidence.
No witnesses.
I saw her do it.
Kim Why are you doing this? - I'm sorry.
- You're sorry? My mother is 65 years old.
Reggie Lewis was 37.
Mom.
Mom, do not say a word to the cops or the D.
A.
's office.
You cannot trust them.
Come on, ma'am.
You have nothing.
Your mother's prints are on the murder weapon.
I'm a lawyer.
I don't want anyone talking to her unless I am present.
That's fine.
You'll never get a conviction.
We'll see about that.
This'll be your case.
I'll have to recuse myself.
I'm sorry.
Opening this case, I thought I was helping.
The next time you want to help me, please don't.
We're back at the scene of the crime.
Why? Can you get the trunk for me? Anybody order some new plexiglass? - Officer Reagan.
- What are you doing? I came to, uh, replace the plexiglass here on your counter.
I don't understand.
Also gonna have some uniformed officers come by and check on your store a few times a day.
Thank you.
Good.
All right, well, you got Phillips-head that'll fit these? Hmm.
Three words that I would say to my 18-year-old self.
Mm-hmm.
Marry Jamie Reagan.
Hey.
That's a pretty girly drink.
Well, I can be girly sometimes.
I got you a beer.
Perfect.
You read my mind.
I am regretting opening this case.
I didn't know how complicated it would get.
Well, it gets even more complicated.
Turns out Reggie Lewis also has kids.
In fact, one of 'em's a congresswoman in Brooklyn.
Shannon Lewis? She heard about the arrest.
She's planned a press conference on the steps of Borough Hall tomorrow.
Great.
You got any other good news? If it makes you feel any better, I admire you for what you do.
For sticking my nose where it doesn't belong and embarrassing my boss.
Look, Sandra Harris killed a guy, and a life is a life no matter how complicated it makes things for Crawford.
She probably hates me now.
Nah.
She hated you way before this.
Thanks.
[VOCALIZING.]
Let's give it up for Sheryl! [CHEERING.]
That was good.
Fun, right? You ever get up there and grab the mic? - Course I do.
- Mm.
What's your karaoke go-to song? "I Will Survive.
" Mm, Gloria Gaynor.
- That's a kick-ass song.
- Thank you.
Uh I see what you're doing there.
I'm not doing anything, that's really my favorite song.
Okay, who's next up? Me! I'm next.
What are you doing? You said I should start having some fun.
Let's have some fun.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Gimme that mic! Yeah! [WHOOPS.]
If you start me up If you start me up I'll never stop.
