Walsh and Schraeger are chasing someone. They corner him behind a dumpster They yell to throw out the backpack. A white backpack is thrown out. Then they yell for him to put his hands up. Out crawls a kid about 10 years old. The screen then flashes the words "One Day Earlier."

Dispatch mumbles her usual inane and nasally comment, this time about a suspect driving on the sidewalk. Alvarez goes to Walsh's desk asnd asks him to a Rangers game. He points out that Walsh is scheduled to be off when the game occurs. Walsh tries to protest but Alvarez does't hear it. Amused Schraeger asks "Is Alvarez your best friend now?"

Beaumont arrives and Walsh tries to talk to her but she shuts him down. Delahoy wanders over, munching on an apple. He asks Beaumont to taste it, does it taste funny? Like salami? "No." I personally would probably not question a crappy piece of fruit tasting like meat. But that's me.

Brown gives Banks and Delahoy a case of an 87 year old man named Spiegelman who tried to rob an armored car robbery guy. They question the old man. who said he tried to wrestle the bag of money away from the guard but got winded and had to sit on the curb. Delahoy wants to know why he would do this, maybe he blow his retirement on strippers? Why the hell not rob an armored car at 87? Prisoners get sweet medical care! Better than most of us! Makes perfect sense to me!

Spiegelman asks if Delahoy ever lived in a nursing home with everyone sitting around waiting to die. "I was an accountant for 30 years, married for 50." Delahoy points out that a nursing home might be boring but prison is worse. Spiegelman points out that being old sucks. "Can't pee and taking pills sucks!" Banks really doesn't want to put the guy in jail but Delahoy says he did the crime and it's his own fault. "Can I get a seltzer?" asks Spiegelman. Haha! Old people and seltzer. Sometimes it's the only thing in the fridge. like young men and beer.

Brown assigns Walsh and Casey to a detail "protecting" a business tycoon named Gary Reed who is in town. (But not protecting because using that word jinxes the situation and it goes to hell. Apparently like saying good luck in show biz.) He's been getting cryptic postcards. Casey asks why the man doesn't have bodyguards. "Crap rolls downhill," explains Walsh. Why spend money when he can call the governor who can call the mayor who can call the Chief of Police for them to do the work. Casey points out they they like have crime and stuff to stop. Brown points out it will be easy work, he'll get room service and go to bed. When they leave Banks enters. He tells Brown that he called the nursing home and found out Spiegelman has dementia and that they have no case.

Walsh and Schraeger meet Gary Reed at the hotel. They check out his room before he enters and ask for his itinerary so the advance team can check it out. Tells them that he only has banking meetings to go to in the morning. He explains to Casey for expositionary reasons that he created genius banking software and makes so much money he can't give it away fast enough but he's still down to earth and keeping it real cos he still wears a watch his dad gave him when he was 8. He tells them he's gonna stay inside and order room service and watch a movie. Nothing crazy is gonna happen at all, of course, cos this isn't an obvious set up.

Casey complains about it being protection detail and Walsh whines that saying that word is gonna guarantee problems. He tells her as a rookie she has to take the first watch. "Why?" "Can you sleep in a chair?" "No." "There you have it."

Back at the station Beaumont and Cole are bringing in a suspect named Jason. He's complaining that she bit his hand. She points out he stuck it in her mouth. They stopped him for expired plates and they found ski masks, guns and crowbars in his car.
