"Previouly on "Blue Bloods"..." "Jacob Krystal." "Erin Reagan." "Nicky." "Nice to meet you both." "Maybe you can explain to me why you were following me this morning." "Detective DeLeon." "And, you're not the one I was watching." "Jacob?" "I'm in charge of investigating art thefts from galleries, museums-- we believe that Mr. Krystal is responsible for a number of major hauls, both here and abroad." "Suppose somebody stole this locket, and I got it back for you." "Would you consider me the thief?" "How did you get it back?" "Would that really be the question you'd ask?" "(sighs)" "Pop had a scare with his heart that seems to have kicked a hole in the wall." "I've been wide awake at 4:00 in the morning five nights in a row." "I worry about all of them." "I'm old enough and wise enough to know there's not a damn thing I can do, but that just doesn't cut it in the middle of the night." "They gave me pills over there you could sleep through the night on the Coney Island express." "I got plenty more, you want some." "I think I'll just stick to warm milk and whiskey." "Well, they busted him for it, but Donald Rumsfeld had it right." "That whole notion of known unknowns." "Yeah, that's what shakes you awake at 4:00 in the morning." "Well, I got plenty of unknowns." "As always." "(clears throat)" "Could I ask you one favor, boss?" "Shoot." "That's a title my dad can tell his friends about." "I guess the term "fixer" doesn't quite cut it." "Don't get me wrong." "I'm not complaining." "When my pop was commissioner, he had a head of Confidential Investigations Squad." "That work for you?" "Yes, sir." "Whatever you find, for my eyes only." "(clears throat) Order of priority?" "The Internal Affairs leaks, ticket-fixing rumors in the two-seven," "Jamie's risk assessment regarding Noble Sanfino and his family-- and Erin." "Her situation with Jacob Krystal." "Right away." "(sighs)" "It's not that I don't trust you." "It's just..." "Look, would you lay 30 grand down in cash on a car that you couldn't even lay your eyes on?" "Oh, come on." "My hands are tied, my friend, all right?" "The car's still being prepped in the shop, and... and insurance regulations prohibit me from bringing out the car..." "Look, just have somebody bring the car around." "What do you say?" "Come on." "I just want to kiss it hello." "Oh, you're killing me, Dan." "You're killing me." "Look, the car is yours, but at this price," "I gotta stick to the terms, all right?" "Out-of-state delivery, VIN, title not included-- boom... end of story." "Sorry." "That's the end of our story." "All right, all right, all right." "(sighs)" "Oof." "All right, let me check one thing, I'll be right back." "All right, stay put, have a cookie." "Yeah, okay." "(cell phone blipping)" "Siwicki, Tommy." "This guy you vouched for-- give me a description." "Eh, about, uh, five-ten, 160 or so, brown hair, and-- what do you call it-- a-a widow's peak?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's h." "Uh, all right, thanks." "JACKIE:" "Good boy." "Whoo!" "Come to Papa!" "She's a beauty, huh?" "Whoo!" "Look at this." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Go, go, go, go, go." "DANNY:" "Put your hands against the car, please." "Turn around." "(siren wailing)" "Police!" "Put your hands on the car!" "Come on." "Spread your legs." "(sirens wailing)" "(tires screeching)" "Tommy Barrone, you are under arrest for grand larceny auto and criminal possession of stolen property." "Ah..." "I need some cuffs." "Anyone got cuffs?" "You got the spiel down?" "JAMIE:" "In my sleep." "All right, now, they're bound to have a few little curlicues of their own, but all boiler rooms boil down to this:" "you're selling stocks in companies that don't exist, or they're penny stocks that you're flogging off as the next Apple." "Right, it's all snake oil, but it's $20 million worth of snake oil to the Sanfinos and the Cavazzeres." "What's the big get?" "You need to get a thumb drive into their system and download any transaction activity." "Now, there's bound to be a partition where they have the whales that they're really churning." "If you can get to that, we are gold." "Noble told me to talk to a guy named Tesla." "Johnny Tesla." "Yeah." "He runs the shop." "He's a made guy in the Cavazzere family and he's also a real bad-ass, so when you get that download, you start planning your exit strategy." "Like?" "Like, I don't know, the commute's too far, you got another job offer, something forgettable." "The bottom line-- you're not going for employee-of-the-month Cadillac." "All right, look," "I got backup in the area, but when you're in that shop, you're on your own, so be careful." "I'll be in touch." "Vanna... would you please tell Mr. Tommy Barrone what he has won?" "All right." "Well, it's not going to be the trip that you've been dreaming of for him." "What are you talking about?" "His lawyers cut a deal." "Reduced charges in exchange for his cooperation in a couple cold-case homicides." "Tommy Barrone Jr." "is going to give up two murders so he can walk on car theft charges?" "No, not him" " Tommy Barrone Sr." "He's serving five consecutive life sentences for contract murders up in Sing Sing, so he's giving us a couple oldies but goodies to cut his kid a break." "You know, not for nothing, but this little operation burned a lot of informants, not to mention hundreds of man hours." "For which you will notch a couple homicides on your bedpost without even breaking a sweat." "I will?" "How so?" "Mm-hmm." "Our investigators have debriefed him, but the cases are six and eight years old, and Barrone is a little off on the exact locations of where the bodies were discovered." "Okay, so what does this have to do with me?" "So, for the confessions to be admissible in court, he needs to give us the exact locations of where the bodies were found as contained in the original police reports, so I need you to hold his hand" "on a little walk down memory lane." "No, you need me to take Tommy Barrone Sr. on a drive-around?" "Yeah, that's the plan." "Well, how do I do that without breaking a sweat?" "Well, you're going to have your partner." "Barrone will be in handcuffs and leg irons." "Yeah, and he's gonna be a guy in a backseat with nothing to lose." "I'm gonna be the guy in the front seat with everything to lose." "I don't know about you, but that makes me sweat." "Dr. Grossman, when I tell you this stock is going to 20," "I'm biting my lip on the real target." "John-- may I call you John?" "Branatech is about to explode." "After the bell, this FDA thing comes out, you can say good-bye to eight bucks a share." "Okay, Mr. Egbert, can you hold on just one second?" "A colleague of mine is handing me an update just now." "What?" "First name." "Steve" " I'm back, Steve, and this is news to me." "You're getting it in real time just like I am." "Branatech has just announced that the protocol for their anti-Alzheimer's drug has just..." "My home phone number?" "Sure, but I'm at the office." "Okay, why don't you have your mommy come pick you up?" "I can't, she's dead." "It's a figure of speech." "Why'd you hang up my call?" "They ask for your home number, you're done." "I had him in the palm of my hand." "You had nothing-- that's what you had." "You told Sanfino you'd done this before." "I have." "So why do I feel like I'm babysitting?" "I need this job." "Next number on your lead sheet." "Just dial it." "I closed on 10,000 shares." "You got to admit, it's a start." "Yeah, your commission goes to me, you know." "What?" "I break you in, I get your first ten milkshakes." "Noble didn't say anything about" "Yeah, well, what Noble doesn't know could fill the Meadowlands, all right?" "You don't like it, you can stay home." "Bianca." "My brother told me he got you in here." "Can't tell you how disappointed I am." "Nice to see you, too." "I figured you for some kind of professional, not working in this monkey house." "What are you doing here?" "Letting you take me out for a drink." "All right." "All right." "(phone ringing)" "(sighs)" "Erin Reagan." "Jacob Krystal." "I need you to meet me." "That is not a good idea." "How?" "Emotionally, logistically, legally?" "All of the above." "I want to prove to you that I am who I say I am." "Well, can you prove that you did not steal that painting?" "I can't prove a negative-- no-- but I did not take anything from that museum." "Will you meet me?" "I can't." "Not tonight." "Then I'll be in touch." "You and Tesla, seriously?" "Seriously in that, yes, I dated him a little." "Nothing serious in how much I liked it." "What's with the face?" "No face." "Yeah, a face, like you disapprove I dated Johnny Tesla." "It's none of my business." "Sure as hell isn't." "I don't see a ring." "You the kind that takes it off?" "You mean, am I married?" "No." "Girlfriend?" "No." "Friends with benefits?" "What's up with you?" "Just answer the question." "None of your business." "What if I want to make it my business?" "Line forms to the right." "(chuckles)" "BIANCA:" "So not even "Happy birthday"?" "Really?" "I mean, if you want to do happy birthday." "Okay, you'll sing happy birthday?" "(both chuckle)" "You talk a big game." "Makes you wonder what you really got." "Nice." "Johnny, what...?" "Shut up, Bianca, just shut up!" "What are you, stalking me?" "Yeah, you wish." "I wish?" "!" "What's the matter with you?" "You might want to check your neck, Riordan." "She's a real vampire." "Why don't we all just walk away here?" "That's a good idea." "(scraping) BIANCA:" "Oh!" "Up yours, Johnny!" "Hey." "Hey!" "Hey-hey." "Sam Croft." "How are ya?" "I'm good, Danny." "Back in the bosom, huh?" "Yeah, how's Linda and the boys?" "Eh, you know, Linda's good." "Pain in the neck as usual." "The boys are growing up too fast;" "life is good." "All right." "Here." "Hey, Gramps." "Thank you." "Sam, refill?" "Henry, you're on the mend." "I don't want you waiting on me, okay?" "That's an order." "My house, my bar." "I'm good for now." "Thank you." "So, is my dad keeping you busy already?" "I'm wrapping him up easy." "What do you got going on?" "I got a take-out order day after tomorrow." "I got to take this lifer for a drive and see if I can I.D." "the location of these bodies he dumped." "Of course, he says he can't tell us by memory, so we're gonna canvass the neighborhood, see if we can find 'em." "Otherwise, his confession's certainly not gonna hold up in court." "Who's your guy?" "Tommy Barrone, Sr." "Out of Sing-Sing?" "What, you know him?" "Not personally, but I remember his trial." "Half the jurors had to be removed from the courtroom during his testimony because they got sick to their stomach." "Guy's as brutal as they come." "Great." "Jackie supposed to ride along with us?" "That's the plan as of now." "Well, the guy hasn't been within 20 yards of a woman in years." "That could complicate things." "Yeah, I think you're right." "Sam, I'd like you to ride shotgun." "That okay with you?" "It's fine by me." "Be like rookies all over again." "Better not be." "It ain't rookie duty." "Hi, hi, hi!" "Hi, Sam!" "There she is." "Hot, fresh, and delicious." "Plus I brought pizza." "I'll help you out with that." "(chuckles)" "And Nicky's... what now?" "15 going on 30." "How are you making out?" "Hanging in there." "Can I ask you a favor?" "Yeah, sure." "I know that you're Dad's fixer." "It wasn't a question." "Can you separate fact from fiction on this guy?" "Everything I know, I wrote down." "Yeah, if I can." "Can you keep it between us?" "I don't really want my dad involved." "I work for him." "I know." "So maybe on your own time, as a favor to an old friend?" "Yeah." "Hey, fellas" " Tommy Barrone." "Tommy Barrone, Detective Reagan, Detective Croft." "Nice day for a drive, huh?" "That goes for any day for you." "Man's got a point." "Tommy, as you know, I'll be escorting you to two locations in Brooklyn and Queens for you to give us the exact details of the homicides you're cooperating on." "Is that your understanding?" "Anything for my boy." "Great." "We'll be taking notes on any and all details you provide." "At the end of our trip you will be asked to verify those notes as accurate." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Phenomenal." "Let's go." "I got one question." "I figure this a minimum five, six hours?" "I'm gonna need to use the facilities at some point." "Yeah, so?" "So you two guys gonna draw straws as to gets to hold the johnson?" "Get in." "Scoot over." "All the way." "(chuckles) Yes, sir!" "And he sits across from me and he never takes his eyes off me." "I'm sure I'll find an opening, but so far it's a no-go." "There's a USB port, yes?" "Yeah, but they're from, like, five years ago." "I might need some time to download a database." "Well, buy it somehow." "And Detective..." "Noble's sister showed up." "I met her before." "We had a drink." "And this concerns me how?" "Well, she's pretty hot and she knows it, and it's gonna look weird if just blow her off, you know?" "And then she'd go, you know, "What's wrong with this guy?" "Is he married or gay or what?"" "She starts snooping around and opens up a can of worms." "If a picture turns up on Google or..." "Reagan, the only thing I want you inserting into another thing is a thumb drive into a computer," "That's not what I'm saying." "But if I just freeze her out, it's gonna raise questions." "Only Apple sells itself, and we ain't selling Apple." "I ever tell you about the guy wanted me to whack his wife?" "You never told us anything." "We just picked you up an hour ago." "Right, sorry." "Anyway, this individual contacts me, he's taken out insurance on his wife, wants me to show up on Riverside Drive on such and such a night..." "All due respect, Tommy." "We're about to pull up on the intersection of Greenpoint and Henry." "Yeah, right." "We're looking for a '50s kind of diner just past a sanitation depot." "You mean, like that the diner up there, ahead on the right?" "Yeah, that's it." "Make a right." "Hold on." "There should be a vacant lot middle of that block." "That's what we're looking for." "Central, Manhattan South Detectives requesting 10-85, no emergency, one additional unit re: backup." "Front of 123 Diamond Street." "Thank you." "Seriously?" "You guys must think I'm some kind of Harry Houdini." "No, we just happen to think you're a sociopath who wouldn't hesitate to take out two cops, if he thought it meant he had a chance to make a run for it." "Yes, we wear our suspicions on our sleeves." "Hey, I wear my suspicion on my face." "I never had anything to do with killing cops." "You can look that up." "If we could look up every hit you ever made, we wouldn't be driving around doing all this rigmarole." "All right, point taken." "But on my mother's grave, 99% of the jobs I did, you both would call "public service," believe me." "DANNY:" "Yeah, I'm sure we would." "He was still alive in the trunk when I got here from Huntington." "I got him out of the car, put a couple in his head on the ground, right about here." "Right here, huh?" "Maybe a bullet went right through they might've found." "Oh, they found it, all right." "Now for the grand prize, we need to know what caliber the rounds you put in his head and whereabouts they would have found the body." "Always a .45 for me, and I put him in a Dumpster was over there." "Right over there." "The diner must've been using it, 'cause it stunk of old souvlaki." "Sound about right?" "That's right." "There you go." "You passed with flying colors." "Congratulations." "I gotta pee." "Too bad." "Let's go." "We gotta eat, right?" "There's a restaurant, right over there about six blocks, La Dolce Notte." "Best veal parm you ever had." "Really?" "I love veal parm." "I'm gonna have to remember that." "Take the wife one night." "What's wrong with today?" "What's wrong with today is you suggested it." "What do you think, we're stupid enough to go showing up over there and wait for some of your friends to jump out out on us?" "Forget about it." "You think too much of me." "Take it as a compliment." "Yeah, right." "No, no, Ron, does your wife call you every time she spots a deal at the, uh...?" "I'm not saying it's the same thing, just that" "(dial tone)" "Ron?" "Ron?" "Sounds like Ron closed you." "It's not the way it's supposed to work." "How long you been doing Bianca?" "I'm not doing Bianca." "Hey, Jimmy!" "Hey." "Johnny, how is my man making out, huh?" "How well do you know this child?" "Uh, well enough to send him to you." "Why?" "'Cause I just want to know if he's another toy of Bianca's I got saddled with before she moves on and I've wasted a week on training him." "(scoffs) What is he talking about?" "I'll tell you what I'm talking abo" "No, no, no, I'm asking him." "She came by, we had a drink..." "We sucked face outside of Skyrockets..." "It just happened." "It just, it just, it just happened." "No, no, see, that, that just happened!" "You get back to work!" "You and Bianca would've taken a little more thought first, right?" "Noble, I'm sorry, I didn't think that..." "Exactly, exactly, you didn't think." "You didn't think to say something to me?" "Noble, how would you feel if...?" "Would it be okay if, would it mess things up if?" "No?" "I'm sorry." "Hey... she's my sister;" "I know how she can get, but..." "Jimmy, can you do me a favor and go grab a coffee?" "'Cause Johnny and I got a couple things that we gotta talk about." "All right." "So this guy..." "Mm-hmm." "calls back a few days later." "Wants me to off the wife and his two kids who are gonna be in the car with her." "You're kidding me." "Nope, a wife." "Now we all know that could be a complicated relationship, but your own kids?" "Thanks." "You do it?" "Course I didn't." "What I was gonna do was take him out, do his family a favor." "But...?" "I got called out on a couple jobs in the Midwest." "Uh-huh." "So whatever happened to this guy?" "You remember a woman and her two kids got killed when a garbage truck went out of control on Riverside, crushed their car, Mm-hmm." "about five years ago?" "They closed it as an accident?" "That was that?" "You want the guy who did the hit?" "Yeah, I want to know." "What's the catch?" "Maybe you could arrange for me to meet up with my boy." "I'd like to give him a kiss and a hug without that Plexiglas in between." "Please." "It's the last chance I'll ever get." "It's not a negotiation." "Come on." "It's almost Christmas." "What, I look like Santa Claus to you?" "Gentlemen, allow me to welcome you to One Police Plaza." "(translates in Japanese)" "And I am honored that the mayor thought to have me give you a personal tour." "(translating in Japanese)" "(cell phone ringing)" "Excuse me one minute." "(speaks Japanese)" "(speaking Japanese)" "Reagan." "Both sources are highly credible, Commissioner, and they both say the same thing-- there's no doubt that Jacob Krystal is involved, but that he's smarter than the people trying to catch him." "And there's no evidence." "So far." "So far, yeah." "But still, no outstanding warrants or restricted entry to other countries." "Nope." "Innocent till proven guilty." "Yeah, as they say." "Thanks, Sam." "(sighs)" "Mind your head." "Slide all the way over." "There you go." "Go ahead." "(horn honks)" "(car door closes)" "Hey, you notice that Toyota go by back at the lot?" "Every third car in this borough is a silver late-model Toyota." "You saying I'm paranoid?" "I got the plates for both-- they're different cars." "Come on." "You ready to roll?" "Yeah." "Here you go." "Thank you." "If anyone's watching, it's not going to matter how fast you're walking." "Hi." "Hi." "You said you had proof." "What's the proof?" "When I met you, I told you I was an art appraiser." "Yes, but you left some things out." "A work of art can be appraised for market value, authenticity, condition..." "Portability." "(chuckles) And provenance." "Who is the rightful owner of the piece?" "That's my area of expertise." "And I'm not a thief." "Well, a lot of people think you are." "Are you one of them?" "Does it really matter what I think?" "Yes." "You're a born cynic, and I like a challenge." "What is this?" "You had me followed?" "What?" "No." "What-what do you see?" "Look, the only case this stuff supports is the one he's making for himself, which, by definition, is just half the story." "But he's never been charged, much less convicted, in any of those heists." "Look at this." "It's a copy of the INTERPOL memo identifying him only as the appraiser that called attention to the provenance of the stolen painting." "That's it." "Yeah, but this Scotland Yard workup could support a pretty strong conspiracy theory." "That they never gathered any evidence to act on." "(sighs)" "What did Sam Croft find out?" "Sam never came up with anything more than what we got here." "I had a feeling that you had gotten to him first." "Yes, I did." "Look, even if he's telling the truth, there is no such thing as a Robin Hood defense, so at least it's conspiracy." "Did he send you this stuff, or did he hand it to you?" "I saw him earlier." "Erin, I don't have to tell you, if you're questioned-- No, you don't, Dad." "If a detective wants to question me," "I'll give him everything I got, which is nothing." "You know, when you look at me, do you still see a wild child, or do you see a 36-year-old woman, mother and lawyer?" "That's a trick question." "But both." "I didn't appreciate it when you used to snoop around on me when I was sowing my oats, but at least, then, I could understand it." "But now?" "(sighs)" "Why you turning?" "I told you further up, off Jackson." "Don't worry about it." "We're getting an oil change?" "No." "Christmas might be coming a little early for you." "Tell me about Riverside." "They brought in the driver of the garbage truck." "He told them he was epileptic." "Doctor's reports and everything." "Told them he had a seizure, lost control of the vehicle." "Guy was no more epileptic than I am." "He was the hitter." "Okay." "What's the proof on that?" "Track down the doctor who diagnosed him with the epilepsy." "And what's the doctor going to tell me?" "Nothing-- he doesn't exist, except on a letterhead out of a post office box in Staten Island." "Now, can I see my boy?" "Let's go." "Hello, Junior." "Was a beautiful car, Junior." "Sure would have been nice to keep it." "But I'm sure the guy you stole it from is happy to have it back." "Do me a favor-- keep your hands where I can see them at all times." "Let's go." "(laughing):" "Hey." "Let me look at you." "Hey, Dad." "You take care of yourself." "You hear me?" "I love you." "JUNIOR:" "Love you, too." "No, he was on the..." "Hey, Vincent." "Yeah." "Give us a minute?" "Sure." "See you later." "Yeah." "Hey." "You gotta understand something, okay?" "Look, Tesla-- he's like... when you were kids, the friend that you'd find going through your sister's underwear drawer when he said he was getting a soda." "Okay?" "And then he grows up, and he gets his shot with her, and... (snickers)" "Bam, he got shot down." "Got it." "Okay." "But you might want to show him a little bit of respect, if you want to make some money around here." "Oh, and Jimmy, you make a move, just check with me, okay?" "I'm the guy with the map." "(cell phone buzzing)" "Bianca." "(laughing)" "I'm here with your brother." "Lucky you." "I got my appetite back." "Yeah, well, I don't think it's such a good idea that we" "If this is about Tesla, he doesn't own me." "Look, let's just forget it, okay?" "Timing's bad for me." "Fine." "You got it." "Okay, hey, don't get me wrong" "I'm not trying to tell you what to do." "You... you know that, right?" "It's not like..." "I'm going out for a smoke." "Break's over." "Come here." "Just hang in there, okay?" "Let's do something this weekend." "All right, those are my notes." "Sam's going to read them out to you." "You got it." "Could we go for one drink before you put me back?" "No, we can't go for one drink before we put you back." "One beer." "No." "Sam's going to read you my notes." "If you hear anything that doesn't jive with what you said, you call it out, we'll fix it." "Okay." "But one beer." "Ted, this is Jimmy Riordan at Cardicott Capital." "JAMIE:" "Yes, absolutely." "I believe you spoke to an associate of mine last week about an opportunity in Branatech." "Yeah, can I have a few more moments of your time right now?" "Okay, I'll call back in an hour, then." "Everything cool?" "I don't know-- you tell me." "I'm cool." "Something wrong with your computer?" "No." "Why were you feeling it up just then?" "What are you talking about?" "You waiting for walk-in business?" "Get on the phone." "Second body was in the cargo hold of a motor coach, not of a school bus." "DANNY:" "Oh, okay." "My mistake." "Sam, you mind fixing that?" "Yeah." "Done." "There-- we all in agreement now?" "BARRONE:" "Signed, sealed, delivered." "(engine revving, tires squealing)" "Hang on, guys." "We got company." "DANNY:" "Hold on!" "Damn it!" "(tires squealing)" "Get down!" "Stay down!" "Danny, look out!" "Go!" "Go!" "(horn blaring)" "Call for backup!" "10-13, shots fired." "We need backup, forthwith!" "We're at the underpass of Bruckner and Fifth." "Hey." "You okay?" "Yeah." "You're not hit?" "No." "You sure?" "Yeah." "Okay, good." "Ow!" "God...!" "I take you to see your kid, and that's how you pay me back?" "You can't blame a guy for trying." "Hey, Riordan." "Wait up." "I said wait up." "I got a date in the city, and no, not with Bianca." "Yeah, I think you got something doesn't belong to you." "What are you talking about?" "I think you ripped a copy of the client list." "Maybe you don't like it here but you don't want to leave empty-handed." "You're talking crap." "Yeah." "Empty your pockets." "All right." "I'm going to frisk you." "The hell you are." "Get..." "You're outside the building." "Got a right to search you." "Enough!" "(grunting)" "Come on, come on... (grunts)" "What do you got, huh?" "What do you got?" "Well, lucky you." "(coughs)" "He's all yours." "Oh, one last thing." "For what it's worth..." "I'm sorry." "Ah, it's not worth anything." "You would've tried, too." "I probably wouldn't have." "But when'd you get the idea?" "Was it when you got me to take you to see your son?" "Did you whisper something in his ear?" "That was just a father-son thing." "Come on-- you didn't signal him, nothing?" "This was set up days ago." "They were Albanians, by the way." "Only ones crazy enough to take on cops." "Do yourself a favor:" "watch out for the Albanians." "Thanks for the tip." "I'll see you around, Tommy." "It's okay, boys." "I had it coming." "BIANCA:" "What happened?" "What are you doing here?" "Not taking no for an answer." "Who did this?" "Tesla." "About me?" "Not that he said." "We got to get you to a hospital." "Jimmy, you gotta see a doctor." "I asked you to stay away, Bianca." "Don't argue with me!" "So then just stay away." "Stop it!" "I mean it." "Good-bye, Bianca." "I'm just saying, next time I deliver you a bird in the hand, don't send me out to go beat the bushes." "We got two closed homicides out of it, maybe even three, if we find that garbage truck driver." "Yeah, but you're forgetting, we almost had another homicide: me." "Guess I owe you an apology." "Or at least a good bottle of Scotch." "I'm sorry you were put in harm's way for something I asked you to do." "You see?" "Now, was that so difficult?" "Yes... because the worse I feel about something, the less I'm able to admit to it." "That's my kid sister." "Thank you." "Do you think Nicky can hang out after dinner?" "I have an appointment in town." "I can pick her up right after." "Course." "How about if I just keep Nicky for the night?"
