Cal.

Now, Stephen,

you gotta be

proactive, okay?

If you're not, then you're

just letting the bloodsuckers

and the bloggers have

another free shot at you.

The bloodsuckers

and the bloggers.

Have you seen the Globe's website tonight?

No.

Hello?

Miss Capitol Hill Blog?

It's Cal McAffrey.

Do you have a pen?

What?

Sonia Baker, right?

I have a source,

and you need to talk to him.

Well, why?

Do you have a pen?

Yeah.

Lieutenant Leon Comey.

Pen, pen, pen.

Write that down. C-O-M-E-Y.

C-O-M-E-Y.

He's gonna show you

an off-the-record preview

of the security camera tapes

from the Metro station.

What, you mean...

Do you mean, like, now?

Yeah, like now.

Sorry. Who am I calling?

I was trying to get

Della Frye the reporter.

Gee, I'm sorry. I thought

that I was talking to the guy

who wouldn't give me

the time of day this morning.

Look, I am just trying to help

you get a few facts in the mix

next time you decide

to upchuck online.

What?

I'm not doing it. I'm not.

Wake up.

Does anybody know

where Room 514 is?

It doesn't say. Is there a big difference?

Big enough. You looking for

Uniform Squad or Investigation?

I don't know.

Cal McAffrey sent me.

Why didn't you say so?

You Cal's new assistant?

No, I'm not.

Hey, can I see that?

Yeah, it's right

down the hallway here.

Thank you.

Like a police escort?

No, I'm okay.

Thank you.

Hey, no trouble. I'm just grabbing

some dinner here real quick.

So, how long have

you known Cal?

Too long.

What's your title?

Okay, Sergeant,

I can file

a public records request

and get

the information anyway.

You got nothing?

No.

They've got 56 cameras

covering the track platforms.

There are three blind spots

in the entire system,

and Sonia Baker went

down in one of them.

You got copy for me, Cal?

The shooting delivery guy,

what are we doing?

I'm on it.

Well, I got Marty lined up to

take some pictures of the family.

If you'd like, I can send

somebody out there with him.

He can do the crying, you

can do the nuts and bolts.

No. No need. I'm on it.

You'll have it tonight.

You're on it.

Okay.

You know what you gotta do?

Call Leon, all right?

Just sort of push

him for the details.

Ask him a few more questions.

You know...

Nine suicides in 20 years. There

were five accidental deaths,

three from people

trying to get their stuff

off the tracks

before the train came

and two of the psycho-on-stranger

pushing attacks.

Did Collins sleep at

your place last night?

What?

Hmm?

I was just trying to

get my facts straight.

Excuse me. Della here.

Yeah, just a sec.

He's right here.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

It's Anne Collins.
