Blue Bloods

So, next weekend, I'm going to be in Baltimore for the da's conference,

which means grandpa is going to stay over,

So be prepared for westerns,

And try to act interested.

And you are not listening to me.

Look at how cute that little girl is.

Yeah, she's adorable.

Hi.

Dad's kind of a jerk.

Unfortunately, that is not a crime.

Five minutes ago.

What do you mean?

Five minutes ago, you were that age.

Feels like a hundred years ago.

Just you wait, young lady.

I know. Pretty soon, I'll be out of school,

And I'll have a job like you,

and then, I'll have a bratty kid of my own.

I am just saying that it goes by fast,

So you should enjoy this age.

You know what I'd really enjoy?

If you let me stay by myself for once.

When you go away for the weekend.

Finish your breakfast.

I don't care what the united nations says.

That particular nation owes my city.

Over $2 million of unpaid parking tickets.

-Yes, sir. -Dino.

Figure out some kind of insider insult in that.

Culture and have it delivered to their embassy,

Courtesy of this office.

Bad idea, frank.

Then come up with a better one.

I didn't expect to see you this morning.

You told me to deliver the news.

Even if it's not something you want to hear.

Should Garrett be in on this?

Yes.

The Department Chaplain, Father Markham,

Got picked up on a DWI about an hour ago in the 8th.

At 9:00 in the morning?

It's 5:00 somewhere, as they say.

Where was he stopped?

This time, on the West Side highway.

-This time? -Turns out,

it's the fourth time in two months, and this morning,

He rear-ended another car. The lady was fine.

She, refused medical aid at the scene.

The PC's office might want to reach out to her,

Make sure she's doing okay.

Let legal handle it.

A goodwill gesture?

Could look like a cover-up.

Understood.

Where is he being held?

Actually, he's sleeping it off.

In the back room at Mcderry's.

I'm not sure I heard you correctly.

The officer who made the initial stop realized he was our chaplain,

And he was trying to do the right thing by him.

Which is why I never heard about the other three DWIs.

Each time he got popped, it went farther up the chain of command,

and now that we have an accident report to fill out...

It landed on your desk.

And now, on yours.

How's everything over here, Erin?

Delicious, as always.

I'll take this when you're ready.

Thanks.

So, what's the rest of your day like?

Boring class, boring class, fun lunch.

Boring class, boring class, boring class...

Okay, can you please try to make me feel like

you are ready to apply to college next year?

What in the world?!

What's wrong, Ruth?

That little girl who was just here?

Why would she write that?

Go see if she's still outside.

We knew there was something weird with them.

Okay, um, did they pay by credit card?

No. Cash.

Excuse me. I'm sorry. I'm an assistant district attorney from Manhattan.

I'm wondering if anyone knew the man who was sitting here

with a little girl, or if you had gotten a good look at his face?

Mom, they're gone.

-Uncle Danny. -Hey.

Your mom said something about a little girl in trouble.

What's going on?

She was hear eating breakfast, and she wrote this note. Look.

-Where did she go? -She left with her dad.

How do you know it was her dad?

Oh, God, what if it wasn't her dad?

What if he's just some creep who kidnapped her?

Relax. Maybe she's just playing a prank. It happens.

Did anyone touch this table after they left?

No. Mom asked the waitresses to show her the security tape.

Hey. Thanks for coming.

You do know that I have a day job, right?

Yeah. Did she show you the placemat?

Yes.

I also remember the time she got lost for all of five minutes

at the Thanksgiving Day parade, and you still wanted Dad

to call in the aviation unit.

-Okay, I am not overreacting on this. -Uh-huh.

Yeah, she's right. There was something weird

about the girl's dad. I knew we should have said something.

Yeah, and maybe you should have done

a stop-and-frisk while you're at it.

-Video. -I'm joking.

Okay, so, that camera caught them

on the way out.

And, look, she looks about eight years old to me.

Uh-huh. Eight years old, brown hair, red windbreaker.

I can't make his face out.

There's not much to go on here, sis.

'Cause his head's turned away.

This is the camera over the front door.

We can only see the top of his head.

Very observant.

-Okay, you see that? -Mm-hmm.

He went to hold her hand, and she wouldn't let him.

Okay, I had an eight-year-old who didn't want

to hold my hand in public, too, sis.

Watch this.

Okay, you see that? You wouldn't do that.

Okay. Fair enough.

But I still can't tell if this is a matter

for children's services or the police.

Actually, hold that. Hold that. Rewind.

Freeze it right there.

Those look like karate pants, which would make that...

a dojo patch.

-I'm gonna need the tape, all right? -Sure.

So, you'll find her, Uncle Danny?

I'll find the karate school and see if I can ID her.

If there's something going on with this girl,

I will find out, and I'll let you both know.

-Thank you. -Thanks, Uncle Danny.

Okay.

I'm gonna need a single egg, ham and cheddar on a roll. To go.

You're right, Detective.

It is a dragon on the bottom of the pants leg.

Okay, I need to know if those letters are the name of a dojo.

-I'll see what I can do. -All right.

You got an early start.

Keep working on that, all right?

Yeah, I caught a case on the way in. Well, sort of.

Like we don't have enough already?

It's a favor for my sister.

Her and my niece were out to breakfast,

and a little girl at the table next to 'em left a note

saying, "Help me," and then, she kind of disappeared.

Did you check with missing persons?

Yes, and an AMBER Alert. Nothing on both counts.

Come on, Reagan. You know that until a ransom demand is made,

it's not a kidnapping.

I know, I know.

We'll just give it a little time.

If nothing pops, we'll turn it over to ACS,

and we'll get back to our own cases, all right?

Detective?

You were able to enhance it?

-Enough to get the name of the school. -And?

Gotham Karate Academy.

Beautiful. Let's go.

So, does this mean we can catch cases from my family, too?

'Cause, you know, my sister-- she's been nagging me to find her a boyfriend.

-That's funny. -Can I drive?

That's funnier.

Their M.O. is pretty straightforward, actually.

They, uh, come in as a couple, both wearing a hat and sunglasses,

ask to see the diamonds in your highest range.

He plays the bored husband, says he'll wait outside.

You buzz him out.

He holds the door, she whips out a hammer,

smashes the case, grabs everything she can.

And then, off they go.

Oh, my.

It's not going to happen to you.

We're gonna make sure we stop it in its tracks.

They look swarthy.

Are they Middle Eastern?

Uh, description has them ID'd as Latino or Hispanic.

Where do I come in?

You're to handle store business as usual.

You're not to draw your weapon under any circumstances.

Oh.

Okay.

So, let's, uh, open up and hope for an uneventful day.

One.

Two.

One... two...

Excuse me? Sensei?

Little help here?

Yeah, if you guys want to enroll, just take a seat,

I'll be with you in, like,

ten minutes or so when class is done.

Not that kind of help.

This little girl-- is she a student here in your class?
