Blue Bloods

Hey, old man.

Give me your money.

Come on!

You know what time it is.

I know what time it is.

- Get down on the ground. - Police!

Don't move!

Get on your knees! Get on your knees!

- Police! Hold it! - On your knees!

On your knees! Hands in the air!

Police! Stop!

Come on, Lady Five-O, we ain't even did nothing.

Right. You nice boys were just out for a little midnight stroll.

Exactly.

You guys were just welcoming us to the neighborhood.

Yo, look, for real, us three here, we didn't even know

he was gonna hold you up.

- Sit down. - Not even. - Sit down.

Last month, there have been over half a dozen

armed robberies on that block.

And every one of them went down just like the one

you boys tried to pull tonight.

Really?

We didn't know nothing about no robberies. Right?

Nope.

Nice act, Schlenger.

Hang on. You guys didn't want anyone to get hurt, right?

No doubt.

You guys were just the look-out, right?

Just making sure no cops were coming up the block?

That's it right there. We were just the look-out.

We weren't looking to hurt nobody.

Well, I'm happy to hear you guys say that.

And so we get off, then, right?

Unfortunately, the legal term for what you just confessed to

is called "acting in concert."

Say what?

It means you're just as guilty as your friend who pulled the knife.

- Oh, my God! - No, nah!

- Come on, man! - What?!

Yep, thanks for the leaks.

That's tough!

Victory is mine, people, victory is mine!

It's a great day for the criminal justice system.

Thank you, thank you.

- And you are welcome. - Let me guess-- you won?

No, I didn't win. Winning is for losers.

I crushed, I obliterated, I annihilated it.

Feeling pretty good about yourself, now, are ya?

No. You know what I'm feeling good about?

These--

three days at the beach, toes in the sand,

book in my hand, and nothing on my plate.

Yeah, about that-- the D.A. just called.

No, no, no, no, no-- I'm already out the door.

Assistant District Attorney Blake's jury hung

on a homicide she was trying.

Judge declared a mistrial.

D.A. wants you to take over.

The D.A. wants me to take over Kelly Blake's case?

Wow, she must be thrilled about that.

No, not very.

Thought your case was a slam dunk.

You're enjoying this already, aren't you?

No, not very.

You just cost me three days on the beach.

Olivia, isn't there anything we can do to make you more comfortable?

Would you like to sit?

Thank you, Commissioner, but these days,

once I sit, I can never get back up.

And we're about 30 seconds out.

Okay.

How far along are you?

- A day past due. - Wow.

Can't come soon enough.

Boy or girl?

Uh... we've decided to wait.

Mm. The old-fashioned way.

Maybe we should get down to the press room before junior makes his

- or her grand entrance. - Okay.

Manny...

you okay?

Yes, sir. I'm just, uh...

there's a lot going on.

Well, get used to it.

You're about to be NYPD and a dad.

I just want you to know what a great honor this is,

your taking the time to do this.

The honor's mine.

- Commissioner. - Shall we, everybody?

It's not like they're gonna start without me.

Two months ago, Victor and Louise Kendrick

are victims of a carjacking by this man, Angel Granderson.

Thank you.

Victor Kendrick makes the fateful mistake of struggling

with Angel, and he got shot three times with a .38.

- He got a record? - No.

Two priors for...

you guessed it-- carjacking.

He gave an alibi that didn't hold,

and we had the star witness--

the victim's wife, Louise Kendrick.

She was in the passenger seat-- she saw the whole thing

go down, and she immediately picked Angel out of the lineup.

Sounds good. Where'd you go wrong?

I didn't go wrong.

You did if we're having this conversation,

and I'm pretty sure we are.

I got stuck with a bad juror.

Elliot North-- this guy... this guy was a problem,

the whole trial, for both sides.

Retired, bored, looking to be a fly in the ointment.

And it could happen to anyone, even you.

Your point?

Speak to the D.A.

And say what?

Due respect... this is my case.

Okay, I put in the legwork--

I should be the one who gets to see it through.

Was your case, and you didn't see it through. Due respect.

You know what I meant.

Look, you and I have managed to coexist around here

because we share a mutual understanding that it's

better if we exist far apart from each other.

Now, I don't want this case

any more than you want me to have it,

but have it I do, and there's not a damn thing

either one of us can do about it.

Great. Good talk.

And for the record, none of these are our cases.

We represent the people of the City of New York.

Really? Gonna go high road on me, huh?

Just get me the numbers and the addresses

of the juror and Mrs. Kendrick.

Those are my files now.

...and will faithfully discharge my duties

as a police officer in the New York City Police Department,

so help me God.

Congratulations.

- Nice going. - Thank you.

We can take just a few questions.

Uh, Commissioner, how does it feel to swear in the man

who you rescued as a little baby, 25 years ago, from a Dumpster?

Well... I guess maybe it's like a seed was planted that day

and now we get to celebrate the harvest.

Mr. Francisco, is that why you became a cop,

because of the commissioner's hand in saving your life?

Well, a police officer's first job is to protect life.

But with that responsibility,

also comes an opportunity to change lives.

I was fortunate enough to have someone in my life who did both for me.

And now it's my turn..., to pay it forward.

Thank you very much for joining us today.

Commissioner?

Commissioner, it's been a few weeks since the mayor won reelection.

You haven't said whether or not you'll be staying on

as commissioner for his next term.

Well, that wouldn't be for me to say.

I serve at the pleasure of the mayor.

Are you saying he hasn't yet asked you

to continue as commissioner?

I'm saying we haven't yet had that conversation.

But you do expect he'll ask you?

I expect he will, if he wants me back.

If he doesn't, he won't.

Warren, Angela, Robert, thank you, that will be all for today.

Thank you.

Are you saying you may not come back?

There's no hidden meaning here.

I don't call that shot; the mayor does.

Well, assuming the mayor does ask,

you would continue as commissioner, correct?

Assuming he asks...

you'll know my answer.

That's how the world works.

Mrs. Kendrick, I just want to thank you for taking the time out to sit with me.

Of course.

I just thought we should get to know each other

before the new trial.

I still...

I just can't believe it.

I know you're upset and I know it's hard,

and I am so sorry.

What that juror did, it's like a slap in the face.

How can just one person be allowed to do this?

Well, I'm sure you're aware, in a criminal proceeding,

the jury's verdict must be unanimous.

Even if one of them is...

I-I don't want to be rude, but...

A.D.A. Blake pegged him as a problem from the get-go.

Well, I'm not sure she should have mentioned that to you, but...

let's look at it this way--

we have the advantage here to improve our case

before the new trial.

I will never forget the look of death

in Angel Granderson's eyes the night he took my Victor from me,

just the same way it did, every day, in that courtroom.

So please forgive me

if I can't get giddy about a new trial.

No, I understand, and... again, I'm sorry,
