Best of Blue Bloods Part 10
Season 4 Episode 8
Jamie and Eddie collared a perp just as their tour finished. Eddie was upset because she'd be late for her date.
Jamie harassed her because she still hadn't told her date that she was a cop. He let her off the hook, "I'll book out collar. I wouldn't want you to be late for your date."
Eddie thanked him over and over again. She met the guy for drinks, but when it came to dinner, she looked to her watch, "I would, but I got to be in work early and I got a lot of stuff to do before I hit the sack."
He pulled out his wallet, "Okay, that's fine."
She reached for her purse, "Oh, hang on I can take..."
He cut her off, "No, no, no, no..."
"Are you sure?"
"This is on me. I'll walk you home."
She smiled and nodded, "Okay." She opened the door to her place. She turned back to him, "Look, see, everything's fine. Thank you for the drink."
"Why don't I come in, you can make me a cup of coffee?"
She stood her ground, "I can't"
He snickered, "Okay. Well, thank you for the lovely evening." He leaned in to kiss her, but she pushed back, "Hey, Jake." She pushed him away, but he came back at her, "Jake, you need to go home..."
He advanced on her, "What's the matter?"
She pushed him again, "What are you doing. Stop, come on, No, no!"
He pushed her into the apartment and grabbed her and threw her against a countertop, "Get in there."
She pushed back, "NO!"
He attacked her.
In the morning, Jamie arrived at her apartment and pressed the call button. She didn't report for duty in the morning. She didn't answer her door. On his cell he left her a message, "Hey, Janko., boss said you banged in sick today. I didn't hear from you, you haven't returned my calls. Just want to make sure you're okay. I'm going to keep checking on you until you answer."
After his tour, he returned to her place and getting into the building, he knocked on her door, "Hey, Eddie, can you please open up?"
She didn't open, but called through the door, "I took a sick day. Why can't you just leave me alone? I'm not feeling well."
"Open the door, and I'll leave, okay?" She slowly opened the door. Her lip was swollen and one eye was closed and she had bruises on her cheek.
He was shocked, "Oh, my God, Eddie, what... what happened?"
She lied, "I got in a car accident on my way home."
He wasn't buying it, "Did someone hit you?"
"I got in a car accident."
"I don't think that's what happened."
"Well, I don't really care what you believe, Reagan. It's none of your business, so leave me alone." She closed the door in his face.
The next day, they were together in their squad car. Her face was still looking bad and she was weak. Her hair wasn't in her usual bun, but a ponytail. Her phone kept going off, but she declined it again and again.
He looked to her, "We have been working an hour and a half now, and you haven't said two words."
Her phone went off again, and she declined it again. She looked to him, "I don't feel like talking." She looked out the side window.
"You wanna tell me about that date the other night? Who was he, Eddie?"
'Some guy. You need to lay off the questions."
"Maybe if I was getting some answers."
She pushed back, "You're my partner at work. That doesn't make my personal life fair game."
"Okay, you want to get something to eat... partner?'
He handed her some money, and she took it, "Sure."
"I'll stay in the car. I'll have turkey on a roll." As she left the car, he picked up her cell and jotted down the missed calls she was avoiding.
When he returned to the precinct and looked up Jake's name, he found out he was charged with rape in the first degree, but the charges were dropped. He confronted Eddie and she looked at him.
"You want me to walk into this precinct and announce that... some guy sexually assaulted me? You don't think every guy in this place will secretly be thinking, "She shouldn't be a cop. She can't defend herself?!"
He came over to her, "I won't be thinking that. A lot of people won't be thinking that."
She looked away, "You know, it's bad enough that I constantly have to prove myself. I know there are guys in here who don't even think I should have this job. And you want me to admit that this guy punched me and hit me and he groped me? It took every bit of me to get away from him. And you know what I did? I ran into the bathroom, I locked the door. I hid like a little girl. I stayed in there all night."
He stared into her eyes, "I'm sorry Eddie."
She shook her head, "I want to forget about this. Will you please not bring it up again." She turned and started to walk away, but Jamie added, "He was accused of rape in the past."
She turned to him, "How do you know?"
"I got his number out of your phone and I ran it through the system. The charges were dropped."
She approached him and got in his face, "You did what?"
"I'm trying to help you, Eddie."
"I don't want your help. I don't need your help. And if you bring this up again, I'm going to report you for unauthorized use of a police computer." She turned and walked away.
That night, Eddie waited outside Jake's apartment. She was armed with a police nightstick. She didn't know it, but Jamie was watching her and as she stepped out and snuck around to beat the shit out of him, Jamie stopped her. He convinced her to do it legally.
The next night, Jamie and Eddie were in their uniforms and entered a restaurant where Jake was on another date with another pretty blonde. They approached his table and Jamie called out, "Jake Singer?"
He looked up and saw Eddie, "You're a cop?"
Eddie nodded, "Yeah and I'm gonna arrest you."
"Uh, what are you talking about?"
Eddie reached for him, "Get up, on your feet. Hands behind your back." He pulled away and Eddie grabbed hold of him even harder, as he struggled and fought. She kicked at his feet and took him down to his knees, "And now I'm gonna add resisting arrest." she cuffed him
His date looked at them, "What's going on?"
Eddie pulled him to his feet, "Jake Singer, you're under arrest for sexual abuse in the first degree, and assault in the second, now get up!"
His date looked at them, "Sexual assault?"
Jake blurted out, "Yeah, this is all a misunderstanding."
Eddie looked towards his date, "Hey, he attacked me because I wouldn't have sex with him. Consider yourself lucky."
They took his away, and booked him
After their tour, Jamie was in the locker room and Eddie came in to see him, "So, he won't be arraigned until tomorrow. "
Jamie nodded, Good."
She stepped closer, "I just wanted to say that... you're a real pain in the ass. And thank you for convincing me to come forward.."
"No Problem, Eddie. How you doing?"
She shrugged, "Okay, I guess. I'm really hungry. We skipped our meal today."
He chuckled, "Wow, and you haven't collapsed yet. Want to go to Anton's and get some ribs?"
She giggled, "It's all-you-can-eat Tuesdays."
He put his arm around her, "Yep, with your appetite, we might just put them out of business..
They left and Jamie knew he was one step closer to getting his third thought to becoming a reality. After her episode with her rapist, he was going to take it slow. He just knew he was getting closer and he had the patience of a saint.
