Blue Bloods

Ray?

Commissioner.

You didn't have to come all this way for me.

It's your only option when one of your own is shot.

You show up.

Um, excuse me. Uh, Cheryl?

Boys, go grab your bags.

How you doing, Ray?

- It's just a graze wound, sir. - Lucky.

Close calls are our business, right, sir?

Look, I know you went through this when they processed

the crime scene, but what happened?

... processed the crime scene, but what happened?

I just got home after working my tour.

I was actually looking forward to...

some of Cheryl's ossobuco,

When all of a sudden...

...when all of a sudden, the place lit up with a barrage of gunfire.

How many rounds?

I couldn't say, I... I was too focused on staying alive.

And your family?

Boys were upstairs. Cheryl was in the kitchen. It's...

it's a miracle I was the only one hit.

You return fire? No, sir.

First thing I do when I walk in is lock up my firearm.

You got a place to stay?

Yeah. So, yeah. This is the one time I'm grateful my in-laws live nearby.

As you know, you will get a protective detail till we find out who did this.

And we will find them.

Yes, sir, I know we will.

Ray? We'll be in the car. Yeah?

Okay, sweetheart. Okay. Okay, I'll be right out. Okay.

Either of you guys see anything?

- No, sir. - I just hit the floor.

Good instinct.

- Watch your six. - Yes, sir.

My God.

So much for a one-night stand, huh?

Mm, yeah, that's what you said last time.

And it still holds true.

Stockings?

- Stockings. - Thank you.

How about I go run and grab us some coffee and bagels?

And breakfast, it's a bit serious for something so casual.

Your words, not mine. Mm-hmm.

I'll get the Keurig going.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Monica, what do you mean you're in the city?

You're supposed to testify tomorrow.

Stay out of town and do not show up for trial.

Uh, work troubles?

Just another glamorous day in the life of a lawyer.

Huh, what kind of lawyer are you?

Uh, defense attorney.

Legal aid, and, uh, I got to go.

Let me call you an Uber. Uh, address?

So this work thing... You think your person did it?

- It doesn't matter. - Doesn't matter?

It's my job to zealously represent or defend my client,

regardless of whether or not I think they did it.

Cynical much?

Well, I'm sure you got your own...

set of office politics that you navigate with your job, right?

Wait, I don't even know what it is that you do.

I am between assignments right now.

And your driver's one minute away.

All right, bye.

Well, why just go to lunch when you can spend your morning

with the Mimi Martinez. Yeah, well,

it would've been nice to eat and then go

spend time with your favorite talk show host.

She's not just a talk show host.

This isn't just a talk show. It's part talk,

part cooking, part inspirational show.

She's a chef.

She makes an amazing meal every episode

for the entire audience to enjoy. Mm-hmm. Lucky me.

All right, so when you see me rolling my arms like this,

you guys are gonna get really loud. Let's try it.

Ready? Three, two, one... Let me hear you!

Great.

America'scariño.

The queen of daytime television.

Give it up, nice and loud,

for Mimi Martinez!

Hola, everyone.

Hola.

Hola. Thank you for coming.

We have an exciting show planned for you today.

First, we have superstar

and super-cute actor Tom Tobin

Oh, wow. I like Tom Tobin.

And for lunch, we're mixing up

my famous cochinita pibil.

You're welcome. What is it?

But before we start today's show, we have a few more things

to take care of, so we'll be right back.

Back in five.

I'm starving. I am, too.

Does this, like, happen every show?

I don't think so.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Police.

Come on.

Right here, guys. Okay, step aside.

Everybody, step back. Police. Step back.

We may be taking a rain check on lunch, partner.

I'm not getting a pulse.

Come in.

Oh.

Not the Reagan I was expecting.

Hill, what are you doing here?

Word on the street is a defense attorney's

encouraging a witness not to show up for trial.

Does this attorney have a name?

Deanna Parker. She's on trial

with the Adrian Edwards case.

We had him investigated for sex trafficking

and even murder.

Assault one was all we could get to stick.

For slashing a stranger on the street.

Which is exactly why you should look into this.

And how credible is this informant?

Very.

You know, uh, thanks for the tip,

but it sounds a little too good to be true.

So unless this informant heard this from Deanna herself...

Which I'm guessing you did.

Not intentionally.

So you accidentally heard her tampering with a witness?

Deanna and I met at a bar and had some fun.

You had fun?

She took a phone call, voices were raised

and I heard some things I couldn't unhear,

so now I'm bringing what I heard to you to see it through.

And if I do, your girlfriend's gonna be investigated.

Witness tampering's a class A

misdemeanor, and more importantly...

we're gonna have to involve your aunt.

Could you please keep my name out of it?

Hey, kid.

Adrian Edwards is a bad guy.

If Deanna's not only representing him,

but doing what you said she is,

you may what to reconsider the company you keep.

I'm more focused right now on making sure justice is handled.

Keep me posted. Thank you.

Can't believe she's dead.

Yeah. You knew about her...

Do you know if she was sick or had any health issues?

No, Mimi was all about living her healthiest life possible.

Oh, that's Hank Willis, her producer

and sometimes cohost.

Come on.

Mr. Willis. Yeah?

I'm Detective Baez, this is my partner Detective Reagan.

We're very sorry for your loss.

Thanks. I got a lot of calls to make.

And a lot of fires to put out, so if you'll excuse me.

We just happened to be in the audience.

We were hoping we could ask you a few questions

if you don't mind. Questions about?

Uh, about Mimi.

Um, was she sick at all?

She have any health issues?

That I do not know. You'd have to ask her husband.

Bill, right? Where is he?

Doesn't he usually attend every taping?

Bill was in L.A. for some meetings.

He was the first phone call I made and my team got him

on the first available flight back to New York.

We're gonna need his contact information.

Okay. Uh, Julie, will you organize that for them?

Yeah, sure. She'll get it for you, all right?

Do you think there was foul play involved?

What makes you think there was foul play?

We don't think anything.

We're just, uh... that's what we're trying to find out.

Can you think of anyone who would want to hurt Mimi?

Look, Mimi spent a lot of time and energy

building her career and cementing her place

as queen of daytime television.

I mean, you don't get to wear that crown

without ruffling a few feathers, you know?

I-I got to get this, okay? Thanks.

Hey.

Yeah, I know, it just happened.

I don't know.

Well, you called it, boss.

I'm sorry to hear that. Why?

'Cause I don't like what I called is why.

You ask a seasoned cop to report on a crime,

and he talks about his wife's ossobuco.

I don't know.

Something wasn't right in that room.

Well, Lieutenant Moretti's shooting wasn't connected to any

of the cases he's due to testify on.

So that's good news.

One son or both?

Just the younger one, Vincent.
