Blue Bloods

Eamon.

This is Detective Baez. I'm off duty.

I have a male DOA in front of my residence.

You summoned?

Shut the door.

Please.

You need to do something.

Okay. What?

I don't know. Restrain me, maybe.

Here?

- Not literally, Anthony. - It was a joke.

Remember jokes?

What's this?

Read it.

I forgot my glasses.

They're notes.

She's giving me notes.

Who?

The Right Honorable Kimberly Crawford,

the District Attorney for New York County.

Well, you give me notes all the time when we're working a case.

That's different.

Of course. My bad."When cross-examining

"the defense witness, focus on his priors

because they bear directly on his credibility."

That's not so bad.

Yeah! It's 101!

Of course I'm gonna do that!

Of course, right.

And the rest of these? Hell no.

All right, you're not gonna believe this.

All right, listen to this one. "You..." I...

What?

How about if you write her a note

saying, "Thanks for the input,"

hand-deliver it, and then

do whatever it is you're gonna do anyway.

That is a great idea.

There you go. It's not so bad.

That is not what I said.

No, but I like the "hand-deliver" part.

I understand, and I'm not unsympathetic.

You disagree?

No, Sarge.

It's the third time.

You think that's acceptable?

I think it's not under my control.

Showing up to work on time is not under your control?

Not when my wife gets sick, causing me to be late for work.

I mean, that... that's not under my control.

It's the third time.

- Yes, Sarge. - In a week.

Yes, Sarge.

All right, that's it? Nothing else to say?

I'm sorry?

You just lost your seat in the car.

You're on a foot post for a week.

Sarge, come on, it's 20 de...

Yes, Sergeant.

- Today's roll. - Thank you.

You were a little tough on Diaz there, don't you think?

If I thought that, I wouldn't have

did what I did

would I?

No.

But his wife is pregnant.

She gets sick in the morning. He's just helping out.

The first time, the second time, the third time, even, I get it.

But after that, you develop a backup plan.

Anything else?

No, Sergeant.

You have thoughts on this?

I mean, I get it.

He doesn't seem 100% himself lately.

Less than 50%, where I sit.

Garrett?

I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice a change.

And what would you be if you were simply telling the truth?

He's not telling us anything, but

you can't help but see the writing on the wall.

Maybe he and Sheila are having problems.

And, like with almost everyone,

there's probably increased drinking.

Or it's all of the above,

with a few unknowns thrown in.

Look

it's bad and it's getting worse.

Sorry I'm late, boss.

Abigail, Garrett.

Let me get this for you.

Sorry, boss. It's been

been a crazy morning.

How?

Just, you know...

Monday.

Gee, I never heard a day of the week

used as an alibi before.

It's more like a figure of speech.

What's going on, Sid?

It's... just been a couple of weeks of Mondays.

Yeah, we already did the Monday thing.

Just a rough patch. Nothing I can't handle.

Well

I think you need a hand.

I said I could handle it.

Someone to kind of

steady the ladder, so to speak.

You lost me there.

Well, when my son Danny

was going through a rough patch, he got some help.

- Nothing I can't handle. - A Dr. Dawson.

He has experience working with cops.

Like a shrink?

Not like one. Is one.

I don't know, boss.

I'm more the strong, silent type.

Yeah, we'd all like to think of ourselves that way,

but this last year has

kind of put a lie to that.

And don't worry, you're not alone in this.

Garrett and Baker will see him, too.

We will?

Yes.

Strength in numbers.

All for one and one for all?

All for one?

Sure.

I'll even see him first. How's that?

He was lying there dead.

I mean, I really don't even know.

Who was this guy?

His name was Eamon.

I met him at the gym. He was my trainer.

Did you know him well?

I mean, as well as you can know someone

after going on a few dates with them.

And did you check him out?

Yeah, of course. No record.

No priors. No enemies that I know of.

Okay, what about family?

Did he have kids?

Ex-wife? Married?

I wouldn't go out with a married guy.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that a married guy

wouldn't go out with you.

As far as I know, no.

But I didn't do a lot of digging.

I mean, I didn't have feelings for the guy,

at least not yet.

Okay. Some old girlfriends that you know of?

Look, I really have no idea.

Probably. I didn't ask.

I mean, we only went on a couple of dates.

He said he was single. I didn't sweat him.

Okay. Any idea who might want him dead?

You wanted to see me, boss?

Yeah. Come in, take a seat.

Well, it's always bad news when you tell me to sit down.

Do you mind if I stand, please?

Sit down.

I already know what you're gonna say.

- You do? - Yeah.

Internal Affairs is gonna start sniffing around my partner.

- Already on their way. - Okay, but, boss,

you and I both know she had nothing to do with this.

That's us. That's not them.

So, I can't even talk to my own partner anymore?

Incorrect.

You want me to put her in the box and sweat her.

I just want you to give her a friendly dry run

before the rat squad shows up.

She's not gonna like that. I don't want to do it.

It's what's best for her.

All right.

15 years.

15. That's how long

I've been in this office, doing this job.

How long you been here? Couple months?

So, if you want to talk about my case

or discuss strategy or get briefed

on what I plan on doing, then let's do that.

Let's have that discussion.

But to give me notes

like I'm some wet-behind-the-ears A.D.A.?

No. Let's not do that.

I'm sorry, Cyrus.

I'm gonna have to give you a call back.

Yeah. No problem.

You were on the phone?

Yep.

Why didn't you say anything?

Why didn't you knock?

I apologize.

That was unprofessional.

You think?

Was that any Cyrus I might know?

Governor's new deputy.

And you know what he's doing right now?

Reconsidering his opinion of me.

After all, if my own staff
