Blue Bloods - Thirteenth Season

The fire at this NYPD evidence warehouse

began in the early morning hours.

The Queens facility houses evidence critical

to both current and past cases.

While the cause of the blaze is under

investigation, it's clear this

represents a massive blow...

- Hell of a mess. - Phones haven't stopped ringing.

It's every detective in the city calling to see

if their perp just scored a "get out of jail free" card.

I just hope none of the evidence

from our cases was stored in that facility.

Well, right now there's one case at the top of that list.

Come on.

This is a developing story.

I just got a call from the federal prosecutors

on the Zaragozas' case.

Sounds like bad news.

The DNA evidence linking Diego Rodriguez

to those 7 Ace Double Trey homicides?

Destroyed in that fire.

But it was already tested, right?

No, the lab screwed up. They never tested it.

They never even ordered the test.

Without that evidence...

The head of the Zaragoza cartel

- could go free. - Yeah.

So, what's the game plan?

We got to find some way to connect Rodriguez

to those murders.

Hey.

Abetemarco.

You guys come up with anything on the canvas?

No one saw the suspect exit the store.

A name perp committed a robbery here last week.

Yeah, Freddie James.

We already questioned him at the squad.

- And? - Don't have enough to hold him.

I'm telling you, he's your guy.

Leave your number. I'll keep you posted.

I appreciate it, pal, thanks.

No problem.

Freddie James, get your hand out of your pocket.

I already talked to the cops.

You got some pair of balls hanging out around here.

I had nothing to do with that guy getting killed.

You're a damn liar.

Arrest me, then.

Now get the hell out of here.

- Didn't think so. - Yeah, beat it. Now.

No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

- Hey. - Hey, let it go.

Guy chucked a bottle at me.

- Are you kidding me? - Anti-cop protesters

are always looking to provoke a fight.

Orders are

to avoid one.

Yeah!

I'm gonna head back to my post.

No justice, no peace!

No justice, no peace!

You better keep walking.

What are you gonna do, shoot me?

I told you to take a...

All right, all right, okay, that's it, you're under arrest.

- Hey! Get off me! - Okay.

- Hands behind your back. - Ow!

She's assaulting me!

I need a bus at 15th and Union Square West.

Fire Marshal Chieco?

- Take a number. - Sergeant Reagan, Intel Division.

I'm coordinating the NYPD investigation

into the cause of the fire.

- Uh-huh. - Wanted to let you know

I look forward to partnering with you on this.

Excuse me, Chief.

Look, Reagan.

Arson investigations are FDNY turf.

We've got the experience and the expertise.

- I respect that. - Details will be

shared with the NYPD Arson/Explosion Team

on a need-to-know-basis.

Here's what you need to know, Marshal.

All the evidence collected at this site

by the FDNY will be processed

- at the NYPD crime lab. - Meaning?

Meaning the FDNY will receive exactly

the cooperation it provides.

I don't appreciate your tactics, Sergeant.

This isn't about tactics.

This is about the decades of NYPD blood,

sweat and tears mixed in with the ashes of this warehouse.

I intend to find out what happened here.

A joint investigation.

I look forward to working with you.

Anti-cop rally in Union Square this morning.

You're looking at Officer Edit Janko's body cam.

Look clean to me, boss.

He says predictably.

The protester's in the ER

complaining of a resulting neck injury.

Flopping like one of them World Cup soccer players.

Dozens of cell phones caught it.

All the outlets have it.

Including the moments before her body cam was activated?

That I don't know.

Well, that's what's gonna tell the tale.

- Come on, guys. - Come on, what, Sid?

When do we take a stand and say enough?

Enough of every cop is just

a short fuse waiting to be lit?

I hear you, Sid, but you got...

I know, I know, I'm a broken record.

But, come on, Eddie Janko?

I mean, where do we draw the line?

Not our line to draw, Sid.

Are you suggesting she be pulled from active duty?

No. The evidence is inconclusive.

Even by the harshest light.

Officer Janko should remain on full duty.

I have Officer Janko, sir.

You do?

Okay.

We'll give you the room. Hold on a minute.

Do we need the room?

That's up to you, sir. It's your room.

They'll stay.

Well, please.

So, we've been talking about you.

Yeah, I wanted to discuss the incident at the protest.

Yeah, we just did.

I'm sure there's, uh, pressure

to place me on modified duty.

Well...

I should be modified.

I have to be, for all our good.

Did you use excessive force?

No, sir.

Have you lost faith in our ability

to conduct a fair investigation?

Not at all.

Then I'm at a loss here, Officer.

If I stay on full duty, it'll prove I have a hook in One PP.

And I don't want that.

That decision lies with the PC.

And I've made mine.

May I speak freely?

Haven't you been?

You go out of your way not to show favoritism

to anyone in the family.

Well, I try.

Perception out there's different.

Well, I can't worry about that.

But I have to.

Being your family plays like

a leg up and a free pass to the vast majority of cops.

Who don't know you and don't know me.

And they never will.

Look.

I don't give my family special treatment.

But I also don't subject 'em to special condemnation.

I know you wouldn't keep me on patrol

if you didn't think it was the right thing to do.

Yeah, so what's going on here?

I'm protecting my reputation.

I have to err on the side of caution here.

Even if that means I'm gonna ride a desk

until this whole thing blows over.

That's the price.

I don't know.

I appreciate you coming, Detective.

Guess bad news travels fast, huh?

I assumed you'd be more careful with your evidence.

Me, too.

Look, if you asked me here

to rub my nose in it, I got stuff to do.

Quite the opposite.

I wanted to apologize.

Come again?

Things got very personal between us.

The threat to your sons' lives?

I had nothing to do with that.

Hmm, well, you're a real saint, thanks.

I'm a businessman.

No, you're a drug dealer.

And you murder anyone who gets in your way.

Those gang members who died...

Who were executed under your orders.

They all had long criminal records.

Violent men.

We both know the world's a lot safer without them.

Well, what about all the innocent people who die

from your poison?

Is the world a lot safer without them?

I make a clean product.

If my distributors alter it to increase their profits,

they suffer the consequences.
