Blue Bloods

Madeline Gleason from Forest Hills.

Looks like Madeline Gleason put up one hell of a fight.

She was 25 years old.

When I was 25, I was living in Alphabet City

with some musclehead named Dario.

Morning.

What do we have here?

25-year-old, apparent suffocation,

defensive wounds on her hands.

Looks like she was dressed for a date, possibly

knew her killer. Witness called it in.

Well, if you end up running any lineups, just...

We haven't even started yet.

I'm just saying if you do,

then make sure to run a double blind.

You can't run it yourself.

This isn't our first rodeo, you know, Counselor.

Okay, I'm just reminding you

'cause the D.A.'s been on my ass about it.

Oh, well, just because the D.A.'s been on your ass,

doesn't mean you got to be on my ass.

Yeah, it kind of does.

I'm not talking to you!

Knock it off, okay?

I'm not having a discussion with you about it.

Well, you're the one that came down here,

started the discussion.

We're trying to do our jobs.

Just saying do it by the book,

and we won't have a problem.

But now I do have a problem... you.

You, too.

- Hey... - Robles?

You're now riding with Miller, okay?

Officer Janko, Officer Witten.

I need you to respond to the M.E.'s office.

Got a frequent flyer, threatening to burn the place down.

An EDP?

Well, they misplaced her father's body.

So what's the complaint?

She's threatening the employees. Threw a boot at one of them

when they told her to come back later.

Oh, gee, thanks, that sounds like a joy.

I'll get the car.

I'll get us some fresh batteries.

Hey, did you hear that your dad has a hearing coming up?

His lawyers filed a request for compassionate release.

"Compassionate release," based on what?

He's over 65, served more than half

his sentence, has diabetes.

Hey, wait a second.

Why do you know any of that?

He called last night.

Said that he would love it if you would come to the hearing.

- He called you? - Yeah, said that he thought

he had a better shot going through me.

That you probably wouldn't want to talk to him.

He's right, I don't want to talk to him.

And I do not want to go to his hearing.

Lastly the mayor said he knows how busy you are,

and that you won't need to attend tonight's reception.

"Won't need" or "should not"?

Couldn't say, sir.

If you could say?

I get the impression he's keeping

police business at arm's length.

Tell me about it.

Welcome back to the Manhattan Morning Show.

We've been speaking with City Council Speaker Regina Thomas.

Uh, thanks for being with us today.

My pleasure, Jim.

You mentioned the NYPD

and the decidedly anti-cop sentiment that has taken hold

as a result of the widely publicized

police brutality cases around the country.

You need to listen to this.

Bluefish running in Sheepshead Bay?

Shush!

But this isn't about any of that.

This is about taking legislative action.

And a repurposing

from top to bottom

of the NYPD and their resources.

Okay, well, that-that brings us back

to the "starting where" part.

So, uh, do we defund or retrain?

To get him to retrain would be like getting him

to cop to the fact that there is systemic racism

and oppression within his ranks...

- What's so important that...? - Hush!

...that's geared towards people of color.

Mm-hmm. Okay, so defund, then?

Repurpose.

Now, you know there are those

who are gonna say, "Well, who's gonna respond to my 911 call?"

- Not her, you can bet on that. - Hey!

All right, well, let's take some calls

for City Council Speaker Regina Thomas.

Ronnie from Brooklyn.

Thank you for taking my call.

Last week I witnessed cops breaking up

a group of kids just peacefully breakdancing

outside the Barclay...

Wailing on them with nightsticks and Tasers.

At least a couple of them were bleeding when the cops left.

Is he kidding me?

Quiet.

Ronnie, I want to thank you for your call.

I can't tell you how many of these calls I get a day.

Too many.

And I'm starting to think that Commissioner Reagan

and his goon squad

need to step back

and get on the right side of history for once.

Turn it off.

We're gonna have to offer a rebuttal.

We'd just be answering the question, "Are you still beating

your puppy, and if not, when did you stop?"

You just want to let it stand?

Silence isn't exactly golden here.

You know something I don't know?

Hardly ever.

That caller sounded like he was selling something.

He said it was by the Barclays Center.

I'll check in with the 7-4 and see what's what.

What if it's what the caller said?

We'll deal with it.

What if it's not?

We'll deal with that, too.

Just don't ask me how right now.

Are you kidding me? Are you kid...?

I'm not filling out anything!

I told you...

You're trying to get rid of me and you can go to hell

'cause I ain't moving!

Hey, hey, what seems to be the problem?

They lost my dad's body!

- We didn't lose it. - And I will not

- be pushed around. - I told her

she needs to come back, but she's refusing to leave

and she's upsetting the other people

that are coming here to identify their loved ones.

Well, lucky for them they didn't lose their loved ones!

They have them identified already!

You can't stay here. You have to leave.

Make me, pig!

That can be arranged.

Hey, we know you're very upset.

The nursing home where he lives said he was sent

to St. Benjamin's, and St. Benjamin's said

he died and they sent him here.

And this bitch here

is telling me she doesn't know where he is!

First of all, you got to calm down.

And then you got to watch your language.

What you gonna do, arrest me?

Pepper spray me?

I'm recording you right now.

This is the third time we've been called.

Because nobody is listening!

You've had two warnings already.

So either you leave right now,

or you're under arrest for disorderly conduct.

Screw you!

Phone down, let's go.

Turn around, hands behind your back.

No. Other hand.

Hey, Wit-Witten, hang on. Come on.

What's your name?

- Anita. - All right.

I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna f-find out what happened to your dad's body,

but you have got to leave here right now.

I'll leave.

But you've got one day before I'm back here.

No, no, no, no,

why is it that when someone like me

is good at their job, people say they're difficult to work with?

Well, it's why we're here right now, isn't it?

Because you decided to follow a lead

without consulting me first

and before we've notified next of kin.

Okay, it's a lead.

I mean, that's why you follow it.

You got to strike while the iron is hot.

Hotheaded is more like it.

Very funny.

Detectives Reagan, and Baez.

Did something happen?

No, ma'am, actually we're wondering if you

could, uh, answer some questions

about a case we're working.

Do you recognize this young woman?

Madeline Gleason?

No, should I?

We have reason to believe she may have visited or been

in contact with someone in this home

at some point within the past few days.

I don't recognize her, sorry.

You live here alone?
