Blue Bloods

This is the Conway Residences.

Where's the crime scene?

Central said to use the auxiliary entrance.

You want the door next door.

What's wrong with this door?

This must be an 80-20.

We're going to the poor door.

The what?

Real estate developer wants to grease the wheels

to get a luxury high-rise built,

- he's gotta make 20% of the units affordable housing. - (rings)

Oh.

So this is the door the affordable people use.

Yep. The poor door.

- (door buzzing) - Got it.

After you.

- You the first on the scene? - Yeah.

You speak to the neighbors? Anybody hear anything?

Not that they're saying.

Apparently, the victim didn't show up to work,

wasn't answering his phone, so his mom came by and found him.

She had a key.

That's her, down there.

Thank you.

You better talk to her.

Ma'am, I'm Detective Baez.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Deputy Commissioner Moore is on his way up, sir.

Did he say what he wanted?

- Does he ever? - I had a heads up

from Teddy Nelson at the Daily News.

They're going to run this tomorrow on the cover.

Thank you, Baker.

Nice car.

And that nice car is a Ferrari

with a Fraternal Order of Detectives plate

and an NYPD placard on the dash.

Whose car is it?

It's registered to a veteran narcotics detective, Louis Weems.

This thing's gotta be

three years of a detective's salary, before taxes.

Almost to the dollar.

And the press is going to do the same math.

A narcotics cop who, routinely,

in the course of his duties, seizes piles of drugs and cash.

- Is he known to I.A.? - No.

Record's spotless.

- Does his family have money? - Single.

Parents own a dry cleaners in St. Albans.

Okay.

But we are going to assume there is a legitimate

explanation we haven't thought of right off the bat.

Okay.

But there's another thing.

He's a former partner and drinking buddy...

of Lieutenant Gormley's...

...who wants to quarterback whatever digging we do from here.

Because?

Because he says Weems is one of the good guys

who's gonna get burned at the stake...

just for being savvy.

Savvy, huh?

All right, what would you rather do,...

lick the tiles on the Lincoln Tunnel...

or... go skinny-dipping in the Gowanus Canal?

You're sick, you know that?

You have to answer the question.

- Ooh. - I don't have to answer the question.

DISPATCH (over radio): Be advised we have a confirmed 10-13

from the officer, front of 3491 Lexington.

Units responding?

Central, 12 David. Show us responding.

Here, take this.

(siren wailing, tires squealing)

- (tires squealing) -(gunfire continues)

- Whoa! - Get down, get down!

- Let's go, let's go. - Okay.

Let's go, let's go!

- Sproles, you hit? - I'm fine. Go get 'em.

Hey! Stay down! Stay down!

Keep your hands where I can see 'em!

Where's the gun?

I don't got one.

Central, be advised perp fled the scene in a late model...

- Where's the gun? - I don't got one!

- What? - I took a bullet. I need some help.

Oh, you need help?

30 seconds ago, you were trying to kill us...

- and now you need help? - I didn't shoot nobody!

- I don't have a gun. - Hey, shut up.

You cover him, I'll cuff him.

- Roll over. - (groans)

Shooter got away.

Yeah?

We got the booby prize.

I-I knew him to say hello to.

He came and introduced himself after he won the lottery.

What do you mean, he won the lottery?

Not like you're thinking it.

To get into this side of the building, they have a lottery.

Like 9,000 applicants for 58 spots.

He's paying, like, $600 for this apartment

and market value's two, three grand.

I think you mean he paid $600 for it.

Yeah, paid. Paid, yeah.

Come on.

We're going to need security surveillance video, all right?

- Yeah. - Can you help us out with that?

Yeah, management company. I'll give you the guy.

You ever see any suspicious-looking types

coming in and out of that apartment?

Any criminal activity?

Oh, no. I mean, not him. He's a school teacher.

He taught up in the Bronx-- like, fourth grade or something.

Super healthy guy, too.

He'd go for a run in the morning,

and drink green juice, like that.

In fact, he got caught using the gym here.

What-what do you mean, he got caught?

Well, the gym is off-limits to the poor door side,

and, uh, he got into it with a guy, couple weeks ago.

- Wow. - For using the gym?

Yeah. The roof deck, pool, gym...

they're all for the retail side only.

The guy got all up in Diego's face.

This "guy," he have a name?

Yeah. Mr. Carstairs, 22B.

Got a minute?

Of course, boss.

I just got a call from the mayor about Detective Weems.

About the car thing?

He feels that when this hits the paper,

he will be vulnerable on his Tale of Two Cities re-election platform.

This isn't a tale of two cities, boss.

This is more like one of those Horatio Alger stories.

How's that?

Louis Weems is one of those guys who would've

succeeded no matter what field he went into.

I mean, he sees value where other people miss it.

Guy could be an entrepreneur.

Guy drives a Ferrari on a detective's salary.

He must be an entrepreneur in some sense.

Boss, I've known Louis Weems since I came on the job.

We were partners together when I worked Narcotics;

he's the godfather to my son Brendan.

So your vision could be cloudy where Louis Weems is concerned.

No, I looked under all the rocks.

The ones he showed you?

Even his personnel file,

including everything I.A. poked around in.

I-I-I put it all in a 49 for you.

Uh, last few years he made 300, 400K.

The extra income coming from real estate transactions in Brooklyn North.

It's on the up-and-up. I swear, boss.

They call him Lightning Louie because he's a real savvy kind of guy, that's all.

When this hits the papers tomorrow, Sid,

we're going to be the punch line of the day.

All due respect, sir, that's not his fault.

But I hope you're clear on what your job is in this.

Sir?

You're part of my command staff now.

There's no room for looking out for your buddy;

your job is to look out for me.

Yeah, I know that, sir.

You still want to quarterback this?

Yeah, yeah. Yes, sir.

- I don't gotta tell you nothing, all right? - Listen...

- Just calm down, all right? - Why don't you make yourself useful

and pour me a glass of water, huh?

: Come on. Hey!

Useless.

Any leads on the shooter?

Car got ditched by Chelsea Piers.

CSU is going over it right now, as we speak,

but five'll get you ten it was reported stolen.

He's giving up nothing?

A lot of attitude, that's it.

Keep your ears open.

If he lets anything slip, let me know.

Could I get a little help in here, please?

I can't reach my water.

Let's get this guy to give up the shooter.

Easier said than done.

Good cop, bad cop?

How about bad cop, worse cop?

- What's the problem? - That other cop moved my table.

I can't reach my water. Please.

Can you reach it now?

Just...

- What about...? - Can you...

- Oh, can you reach it now? - Oh, come on!

Again with the games? Please!

You know what? I'll just call the nurse.

- With this? - Yeah...

What, seriously?

Go be worse cop.

You know how we feel about you?

Yeah, let me guess-- not real hot.

You shoot a cop, you shoot a brother.

I didn't shoot that cop.
