Blue Bloods

- Now you're having second thoughts. - Says who?

Your tone of voice, your body language.

That's not so.

Yeah, it is. It's like you're folding your tent.

I just got stuck on his age for a minute.

You may have a point there.

Of course I got a point there-- he's green.

He's the preeminent guy in his thing.

No 25-year-old is preeminent in anything.

So you don't like him because of his age

or because of who he works for?

You asked me to look into their work, I did.

One man's opinion-- it's green, because they're green.

- And you're using green wrong. - What?

Green doesn't mean inexperienced anymore.

It means eco-friendly.

I know that.

Are we publishing this conversation?

- No, but... - Well, as long as you know

what I mean by green, then green'll do.

Were you green when you were 25?

- No. - But everyone else is.

- I didn't say that. - I take it back.

You don't have a point...

- about his age. - Look, I already said yes.

Let's just see how it flies.

Why does everything have to be like pulling teeth?

You're a good egg, Garrett.

I just want to make sure that egg doesn't end up all over our face.

Is that why you put Office Reagan on this?

As insurance against my judgment?

I put Jamie on this because he can read

a potential situation better than anybody I know.

Because you don't trust me to.

Because it's sensitive.

Sir, City Council just moved up their meeting.

It's now a conflict with your Jim Voutay lunch.

Oh.

He's here for the Council of University Presidents.

I'll have to cancel.

After his school's undefeated football team

wins a national championship?

That's a sacrilege.

Can you do me a favor-- have lunch with him?

I'll see if I can clear my schedule.

Problem solved.

So this what you guys wear?

No, that's the fake one we give to reporters.

Yes, exactly the same, department issue.

- Near enough. How do I look? - Nervous.

Is that your thing? You like to keep reporters off-balance?

- No. - That's her thing, right?

Actually, telling the truth is sometimes her thing.

You asked her how you looked, and she told you.

Oh, I'm not nervous. Just pumped.

- You know that show Cops? - Sure.

It's going to be like that, right?

No, I'm a real journalist,

not some guy with a night-vision camera.

- Little more to it than that. - Eh...

One of the things I really like about Cops...

How slanted they are towards law enforcement?

How the guy on the ride-along never bothers the actual cops.

In fact, you never even hear him.

You two make a great pair.

Has anyone ever told you that?

All the time.

Thank you.

Linda!....

have you seen my tie?

You mean the one you're wearing?

Smooth move, Dad.

I meant the red tie, wisenheimer.

Where's your mother? You're going to be late for school.

Ain't she driving you?

She's supposed to.

It's after 8:00. You're going to be late.

Hope so.

Linda!

Linda.

Hey,...

the boys are waiting for you to take them.

- Don't go to work today. - Oh, come on, Linda.

Don't start with this again.

I'm serious. I don't want you out there.

Something bad is going to happen.

Nothing bad is going to happen, Linda.

And you can't do this before I go to work every day.

It's not good for you, it's not good for me.

I can't help the way I feel, Danny.

And I can't quit my job.

Hey.

You remember...

what the hospital therapist said, right?

- Yeah. - It's going to take a little time

before things get back to normal after what happened, honey.

I was shot, Danny, okay?

You can say it. I... was shot.

Come on, guys. Let's go. We're going to be late.

I'll drive the boys.

Is Mom okay?

She's fine. Come on, let's go.

She's better than you're going to be if you don't hurry up.

Let's go.

So you guys go a whole week

without being in harm's way, as they say?

- A whole month. - Longer.

That must get old fast.

Not at all.

Come on, you know.

The rush of adrenaline once,

you want it again and again, right?

No, speak for yourself.

You know, a quiet day on this job is highly underrated.

Long story short, we like to keep

the peace peacefully, as much as we possibly can.

12-David, we've got a report of shots fired at 315...

Shots fired! We're going, right?

We're going, right?

12-David, show us responding.

Yes! Ugh!

Buckle up.

No, I like a bumpy ride.

Told you.

It's 9:00 am on the morning of the 18th.

We have just arrived at... Hey, get back in the car.

...911 call

- Hey! - reporting shots fired

- Eddie, get him. - at this address.

You need to get back in the car.

We are just about

- to go inside. - No,...

we are just about to go inside.

And he is about to get back

- in the car. - Whoa, are you serious?

This is a ride-along. I ride along.

Not on a shots-fired radio call.

I promise I won't get in the way.

I swear I won't get hurt.

Look, I'm already protected. I don't care.

Not on shots-fired.

Hey, get back in the car right now.

- Get back in the car. - I don't care.

- Come on! Come on! - Get in the car. Get in the car now!

Get back in the car, right now!

- Back in the car! - Get in the car, now.

: Hey... get back inside.

Police!

You sure we got the right address, partner?

315 Lefferts.

This is the northeast corner apartment on the third floor.

Something doesn't feel right.

- Copy that. - (gunshots)

- Eddie. - Yeah.

Colt. He's hurt.

Hey, are you hit? Hey!

What happened? What happened? Who shot you?

Eddie, we got to get him to a hospital!

We got a bus on the way.

Drive! Drive!

Hey, hey, talk to me.

Talk to me. Hey, Colt.

The reporter's name is Lorenzo Colt.

I know who he is.

How is he? And is he likely?

His condition is unknown at this point.

Doctors are working on him as we speak.

The hospital knows to call me direct

soon as they know something.

Tell them to know something quicker.

- Yes, sir. - Where's Garrett?

Here. I'm here, Frank.

- Contacts for next of kin? - Getting them.

Lieutenant Gormley, it's the hospital.

- Ten-hut! - As you were.

Chief, have Patrol canvass that whole neighborhood.

If there were eyeballs,

I want them sitting down with our Detectives ASAP.

And I want all collars in that precinct debriefed,

no matter what the charge is.

Commissioner.

Well?

Good news--

the reporter was wearing a bullet proof vest.

It absorbed two of the bullets.

Report says there were three shots.

Yes, sir.

The third one grazed his neck,

but thankfully, it was only a surface wound.

Thank God.

Doc says he's resting comfortably,

be out of there tomorrow.

That's good news.

But this reporter was sitting in the back of one of our RMPs,

and he was wearing a department issued NYPD windbreaker.

I'm not sure the shooter thought he was shooting a reporter.

He could have thought he was killing a cop.

Let's get to it.

Find this guy.

I'm sorry this happened.
