Blue Bloods

Apparently, someone got to someone

in the Suffolk County offices

about a certain birth certificate.

It'll be on the websites tonight.

They know who you are.

The secret is out.

Ma, I'm-I'm still a Hill.

Yeah. Sure.

As the most ancient of this clan,

you're welcome here any time,

but we also respect

what distance you may want to keep.

And I say that

with love.

Not for nothing,

but it can come in handy if you're ever in a bind.

You know, you can say,

"Let me run this by my grandfather.

He's the police commissioner."

Which you've done how many times now? It's really

more so just knowing that you've got the card in your wallet.

Uh-huh. PAULA: I feel like

this is some sort of karma.

Like I just brought this on from

worrying, selfishly worrying.

Hey.

World don't work that way, if you're asking me.

Yeah. You'd be amazed how quick

a story like this'll blow over.

By this time next Sunday, it'll be a giant nothing burger.

By Tuesday morning. ERIN: Yeah, a few people

will yak about it for a few hours,

and then it'll be done.

Can I make this about me for a minute?

When I married Jamie, I took the name,

and at the end of the day,

it hasn't helped, hasn't hurt.

Plus, she comes from a long line of felons.

One felon.

That we know of. You, too?

It was more of a relief, really, when she took the name.

Tough crowd. Sure is.

Uh, everyone...

Um...

Thank you.

It's all good.

It really is.

It is what it is, I guess.

It's all good.

A package just came for you, and I put it on your table.

Okay. Thank you, Annie. You're welcome.

Ooh.

Christmas present from Nicky?

Not wrapped like that.

Well, hey,

is-is there a name there or a card?

Uh, not that I see. You know,

it probably already went through X-ray downstairs, but

maybe I should open it, just to be safe.

Yeah.

You never know.Yeah. Yeah.

What the hell?

Is that...?

Dominic Reina.

Looks like, uh, ledgers

from his gambling ring,

overseas wire transfer receipts.

What?

You don't think they're real?

How long have we been trying to nail this guy?

Now the whole case just shows up on our table,

literally gift-wrapped?

Maybe someone's trying to stage a takeover.

Or eliminate the competition.

Any idea who?

Unfortunately, yes.

Donnie Hassett.

I told you, you so much as put a toe over the line,

I would throw you back in jail without a second thought.

I'm clean. Nothing but minding my own business since I got out.

Yeah? Then why are you sending us Dominic Reina

on a silver platter?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Come on. The way the evidence was packaged,

the note... It's got your stink all over it.

Whatever it is you received, it clearly came

from a good Samaritan, which ain't me.

This guy's funnier than I remember.

I don't know how you did it, and I don't know what your play is,

but if you think you're gonna use us to force Reina out,

you got another thing coming.

Detective Reagan?

This young lady says she knows you?

My name is Liz Diaz, and I said my aunt's friend knows him.

Why don't you people listen?

Have fun.

Who's your aunt's friend?

Molly Chavez.

Yeah, Molly's a friend of mine. Sit down.

How can I help you?

My grandfather... he was murdered.

He was mugged,

thrown down some stairs, hit his head and died.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Did-did you see it?

Do you want to see it, too?

My God.

When did this happen?

Five days ago. He was in a coma.

He just passed away yesterday.

Five days ago.

Why didn't you report this then?

I did, but like I said, you people don't listen.

Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Take it easy.

What do you mean, "you people"? Who didn't listen to you?

The sergeant at the precinct I went to said

he probably took the fall on his own.

That's why I went and found the video.

Okay, did this sergeant take a report?

No.

What precinct was it?

And if you can remember, what was the sergeant's name?

He had the same last name as you.

Reagan.

Hey. Hey.

You have a young Latina woman come in the other night?

A Liz Diaz?

Uh, hard to say. We've been pretty slammed.

Well, she would've mentioned her grandfather.

Yeah. She said someone pushed him down the stairs.

I asked her how she knew and she said God told her.

She said that? God told her?

Yeah, that was my reaction exactly.

How come you're asking about her?

Well, I'm asking about her because her grandfather died.

Think someone pushed him?

I know someone pushed him.

She brought in video evidence.

I didn't even take the report.

No, you didn't.

Is there anything else she said that you'd remember?

No. I turned her away pretty quickly.

Son of a bitch. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Okay? It happens.

I lost us the jump on this one.

The first 48, Danny. It's a homicide.

Yeah, well, going down a rabbit hole is not gonna help, okay?

We'll find the guy. Promise.

Recruitment is down 20%,

losses to early retirement up about the same amount.

Not to mention enrollment in the academy.

15% lower year to year.

Any good news?

Well, hopefully there's more Reagans out there

we don't know about.

I'm kidding.

Too soon?

Just the one.

Uh, when were you gonna tell us?

He was waiting for Joe

to come forward on his own time.

Wait.

You knew about this, too?

Oh...

Come on, guys. She figured it out on her own.

I'll just say, I would maybe have run

the victory lap differently had I known.

Well, you're right. In hindsight,

I should have told you, but that horse is out of the barn.

How'd he take it?

Uh, he seemed okay.

Hmm.

Truth is, I don't really know my grandson well enough

to know how he feels.

Boss, listen, we call this what it is.

Joe Hill was already a hero cop,

and now he's a Reagan, too.

Sid's right, this will play well.

Among some people.

Don't worry about the negative spin out there.

That's my job.

I don't mean just out there.

You thinking he's gonna take crap from within the department?

And you don't?

He's a decorated cop. No way.

Come on. You were Danny's CO.

Okay, he got some tough love being a Reagan.

Including from me.

It's a lot to put on a young guy who's already had his world

turned upside down once this year.

You think he's up for it?

For me? That's unknowable.

Reagan, my office.

What is it, boss?

And past boss?

What are you doing here?

Thought I'd drop by, download Lieutenant Gee

on wrangling Danny Reagan.

So you came by to slander my name. Nice to see you, too.

You're gonna wish you hadn't, though.
