Blue Bloods

For once, can we get a homicide in a warm, five-star hotel?

Yeah, remind me to put in a request.

What is Nassau County doing here?

Don't know. My guess, probably trying to poach our case.

Detective Raines. Long time no see.

What are you doing out here?

Same as you, responding to a homicide call.

This is Nassau County's case.

On the radio it sounded like NYPD was fishing the body out.

Yeah, because it was tangled up in the rocks over there.

Over there, which is Queens County.

Which is New York City.

Which is our jurisdiction.

No way.

And it's the same M.O.

as our serial killer.

I'll notify the M.E.'s office.

You are not taking this case.

How many victims he kill out here?

Including this, four. And that includes

a Nassau County detective.

Yeah, and you don't have squat.

And what do you have on him,

besides that he trapped the two of you in a basement?

Word travels fast.

Okay, to be fair, we don't have squat, either.

Which is why I was gonna suggest that we work it together.

A joint investigation?

That's right.

Why'd you do that?

You always tell me you don't want me to steamroll people.

Well, this was the one time that I wanted you to.

Okay, my turn.

Backstreet Boys or NSYNC?

That's your big question?

It can make or break a relationship.

I didn't take you as a secret pop fan.

It ain't a secret. I performed one of their songs.

In my eighth-grade talent show.

Ooh.

I see what you're doing.

Trying to distract me so you don't have to choose.

But you do. It's the end of the world and only one group

makes it to the new planet.

Answer in three, two, one.

Tory...

Please help!

Please don't...

Let's go, let's go. Move!

- Stop stealing. - The cops are coming!

Stop stealing! Stop stealing!

The cops are coming!

Police! Hey, police, don't move! They're robbing my store!

Hey, give it up!

You're not getting out of here!

Ma'am, step outside. This is a crime scene.

I'm a reporter. I don't care who you are. Outside, now.

Hey!

Stop!

Don't move.

Hands behind your back.

Too tight.

You're making it tighter when you resist.

Get off me. You're under arrest

for grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

Get off me! You pigs suck!

Do you really need to hold him down like that?

I'm not gonna tell you again. Step outside.

This is a crime scene. Do not touch anything.

As you can see, there was barely any damage

done to the store, these kids are just trying...

Miss.

Hands behind your back. No.

You're under arrest for obstruction

of governmental administration

and criminal trespassing.

You can't arrest me.

Yeah? Watch me.

Hi.

I'm shadowing my A.D.A.s and you're up.

Okay. Keisha, this is

I introduced myself.

Great.

Keisha, before we go over the statement you gave

to detectives, I'll need you to change out of that jacket.

My jacket?

I need to voucher it for evidence.

Will I get it back?

Eventually.

Tory gave it to me, for my birthday.

And giving it to me will help

put away the person who did this.

And so will going over the statement with us.

The more detailed you are, the better.

Now, you told detectives that Malik was the shooter.

Yeah. Are you willing

to identify him if this goes to trial?

Trial?

I will work with you when the time comes,

to make sure you're prepared.

But you'll have to point him out.

You mean, he'll be sitting there, in the same room?

That's how this works.

But he can't hurt you.

And there's a possibility

that this will never go to trial.

I didn't see anything.

What do you mean?

I made a mistake.

Keisha.

No.

I didn't see who killed Tory.

When you said "shadowing,"

I assumed that you would be observing, not leading.

You think I'm the reason Keisha changed her mind.

All I know is I had a witness until you just scared her off.

Was I supposed to lie?

It would've been nice to be mindful of the fact

that she just saw her boyfriend murdered in front of her.

And protecting her from reality is being mindful?

There may not even be a trial if Malik takes a plea.

People are entitled to know what they're facing, head-on.

And I don't think that this was the time for that.

When's a good time?

When she's about to get on the witness stand?

I need Keisha to win this case.

How do you plan to change her mind?

I will go talk to her.

We'll both go talk to her.

Great.

Robert Lewis is here.

He's late.

How about I keep him waiting just for the hell of it?

Nah. Let's have him.

Arresting a reporter? Really?

And nice to see you, too, Mr. Attorney General.

Have a seat.

You've seen the footage?

Of course I have.

One million views and counting,

of the NYPD trampling First Amendment rights.

It was a legitimate arrest, Robert.

She interfered with an investigation.

She was doing her job, reporting on a breaking story.

She became the story. There's a difference.

I don't care how you want to frame this,

the press has a right to report stories

that affect the citizens of this city.

"Press" is kind of a loose term here.

She's a self-appointed reporter with a YouTube channel.

I'd like you to void the arrest.

All you have to say is, "Upon further investigation,

it was determined no crime was committed."

She committed two crimes.

Obstruction of governmental administration

and criminal trespass.

In this climate? Are you serious?

Please don't give me "climate."

My job is not weather-dependent.

She's a reporter with First Amendment rights.

Which do not extend within a crime scene.

She's claiming she's being discriminated against

because her pieces question the NYPD.

They don't question the NYPD, they condemn it.

But that has no bearing on this.

It has every bearing on this. Have you looked around?

Your department isn't winning any popularity contests.

We're not entered in one.

Look, Frank, I came here as a courtesy.

I could've went straight to the mayor or the D.A.'s office.

Well, they're both in walking distance.

And there's the door.

How blind can you be?

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Hey. Excuse me.

Hey. We gotta talk.

Now is not a good time.

It'll take one second.

You know Kimberly Crawford, my new boss?

Detective Reagan, I've heard a lot about you.

Heard I play nice, hopefully.

Quite the opposite.

Well, ironically, that's why I'm here.

I got a case...

We're on our way out.

I'd love to hear about your case.

Thank you.

Our serial killer struck again.

I suggested a joint investigation

with Detective Raines in Nassau County.

You suggested?

I guess you can play nice.

And what do you want from me?

It would make things go a lot faster

if you could assign an A.D.A. to consolidate the cases.

Okay, well, I can do that,

but as you know,

each county will prosecute their own murders.

Yeah. Of course.
