When You Don't Negotiate With Terrorists ***1/2
edwagreen27 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
When a drug-lord from Somalia arranges to have a hero policeman kidnapped, all Hades breaks loose. The FBI notifies Frank that he is probably dead and besides, we don't negotiate with terrorists.

We see the distraught wife who realizes what the score is, but after all, it's her husband's life and she wants everything possibly done. Who wouldn't think like that under normal circumstances?

How fortunate that this drug-lord is killed in Somalia and his New York brother spills the beans. How he is duped into doing this is most interesting; although, quite predictable.

In a brief sidebar, Jamie shows that sometimes you have to negotiate to try and reason. Case in point is when the police have to be called in three times when a brother feuds with his sister over the business.

Grandpa along for the ride
bkoganbing3 November 2016
When you're a retired police commissioner and your son is the current police commissioner I guess there are certain perks that come with the job. Like ride along privileges with your grandson. Only Will Estes is feeling some pressure when Len Cariou thinks that Estes partner has the right slant on a domestic situation.

There aren't too many comic moments in Blue Bloods but this dispute between the brother and sister heirs of a noted pizza establishment on the west side is one of them. I was feeling for Estes, that's not the kind of pressure anyone needs.

On a more serious note Donnie Wahlberg gets a personal assignment from Tom Selleck. Bring back another detective kidnapped off the streets of New York by the Malaysian drug cartel. They want to exchange him for one of their leaders who is in Riker's Island. The victim is someone Wahlberg went to the Academy with. He's also someone who spent a couple of years undercover in Malaysia. Wahlberg is operating with a ticking clock.

This episode was nicely done with events being summed up at the regular Reagan Sunday dinner.
