Blue Bloods

You see anybody running away from

the vehicle when you found the body?

- No. No, sir. - All right.

Officer Callaghan's gonna take you down to the squad.

I'll be down there to talk to you soon.

I thought this was one of the safest big cities.

Well, it's still a big city.

Hey. What do we got?

Uh, car's registered to a Benjamin Daniels.

Put it together with the parking stickers

and the stack of graded papers,

he was an English professor at Hudson University.

Did you get his wallet?

Well, it's not here.

Wallet, watch... gone.

- Weapon? - No, no.

Canvassing the neighborhood.

MLI clocks time of death approximately 2330,

so I'm guessing it was pretty deserted around here.

They get his cell phone, too?

No, that's the thing.

We have his phone?

We have both his phones.

Both his phones?

There was one in the cup holder, and a burner in the glove box.

An English teacher with two phones.

So the question becomes...

What's this English professor doing with two phones?

I'd say he's talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Mike! Yo!

Yo, Mike!

Mike! Yo!

- Well, it took you long enough! - Mike!

What seems to be the problem?

- Yo, Mike! - She's been yelling like that

- for the past two hours. - Mike!

I don't think a Mike even lives in that building.

Well, did you tell her to stop?

Only about a dozen times.

- Mike... - Listen, my granddaughter

- is trying to sleep upstairs. - Mike, yo!

- Okay. Hey, miss. - Yo!

I think you need to take a break.

I'm looking for Mike.

Yeah, he's clearly not looking for you.

Mike! Yo!

Miss, I need you to give it a rest.

- (laughs) Says who? - Says me, Officer Reagan.

Ma'am, you need to stop.

You're disturbing the whole block.

Mike, you gotta come down!

- Mike! - All right, ma'am, listen,

I don't want to have to write you a summons, okay?

- Leave me alone! - Hey! Hey, all right.

All right, you're coming with us.

- Ow! - Hey!

Mike!

Ah, she bit me!

- She bit you? - Mike!

Listen to me.

If you ever try and bite me,

that will be the last solid food you ever eat,

you understand?

Mike! Yo!

They're takin' me away, Mike!

- (footsteps approaching) - (door opens)

ADA Reagan to see you, sir.

Well. Let's have her.

Erin, he's all yours.

Pleasant surprise.

Well, not for long.

Want some coffee?

This meeting never happened.

Well, as far as I can tell,

you're just a dutiful daughter

checking in on her dear ol' dad.

Heard in the halls

that you have five detectives

who are having remarkable success at getting statements,

tips and confessions through interrogations.

Can't argue with success.

Actually, the DA can.

He's likened these detectives to baseball players batting .700.

Not likely, unless they're juicing.

The DA is considering launching an investigation.

The NYPD has an arm for that.

So does the DA's office. Guess who wins?

And I can't call him on it, can I?

We would both be compromised.

Because Danny's on the list.

This just doesn't feel real to me.

We have theater tickets for Tuesday.

I don't know what my life is now.

Again, we're very sorry for your loss, ma'am.

How long were you married?

Uh, w-we were coming up on 30.

We met in grad school when he was a young poet,

we got ten year together

here at Hudson. It was a...

it was a very, very long, loving romance.

You should see the poems he wrote me.

Your daughter?

Oh, God.

I, uh, I have to go call her.

Mrs. Daniels,

we want to respect your privacy, and we will,

but we do have some important questions to ask first, if you don't mind.

Do you know what your husband was doing last night?

Uh, he... uh, told me he had to work late

and not to wait up.

So you were here alone, by yourself?

Yes, I taught a class until around 8:00.

Then I came home, I...

prepped for a lecture, fell asleep early.

Do you know if your husband

had any issues with gambling or drugs?

No. That's not Benjamin.

Why would you ask that?

When one person has two phones, these are things we look at.

Well, no, Benjamin only has one cell phone.

There were two phones in his car.

Excuse me.

He is a good man,

a wonderful father, an excellent husband.

He is the victim here.

He is the victim here, ma'am.

And all we're trying to do is find out who's responsible.

Hello? Val?

- Valerie, I'm so sorry. - God, Seymour.

I just heard. President Winters

- contacted the trustees. - Oh.

Seymour, these are Detectives Reagan and Baez.

I'm Seymour Kerwin.

I... can't believe it.

I just saw him last night.

Where was that?

We had a committee meeting at the administration building.

What time?

Meeting was at 6:00,

wrapped up around 7:30.

We had a drink afterwards in his office.

I guess I left him around 9:00.

Did he have plans he talked about?

Any stops before home?

No, nothing.

I'm sorry.

I-I'm still trying to process this.

We were close.

Detectives, I have to go call my daughter now.

Of course.

We'll be in touch later this evening.

Yes. Uh, Seymour, would you show the detectives out, please?

Detectives?

The dump came back on Daniels' phones.

The second was a burner he only used

to communicate with one other number, another burner, now out of service.

Well, everyone's entitled to a private life.

A secret life? You're on your own.

- Here, let me put that... - I'll just file this.

Over here.

Anything new from the DA's office?

No.

Did your source give you any sense of how far along

the investigation has progressed?

The word "preliminary" was used.

Shift your weight.

What if Danny wasn't on this list?

I would do everything in my power to protect a detective

who was under the microscope for being good at his job.

Do you think Detective Reagan steps over the line?

I think he probably steps on the line.

But more importantly, what I do know

is what I don't know.

Namely,

every move he makes.

And you have to wonder how the DA's office

is going to define that line.

It is clearly defined as constitutional law.

I hope Danny's familiar with them.

I made sure of that.

But he takes the job personally.

- Didn't you, Frank? - I did.

But Danny is quick to the temper.

He came out that way.

Colicky baby, hyperactive kid,

rebellious teenager, gung ho Marine.

Great cop.

No argument here.

I don't know what to tell you.

I need a sounding board, Garrett.

I'm not looking for advice.

I'm going to give you some anyway.

All right.

It occurs to me that you should be having

this off-the-record meeting with your son.

Let's get her processed and then get you checked for rabies.

- Yeah. - Jamie!

Hey!

Is that really you?

Hey, man, what's going on?
