Previously on Third Watch. That's not it.

The cradle can't shake the dream. The fire is dotting. We're going to grab

battle with gas. We'll give you the home you need. We're an adequate mass.

Everybody is starting. Let me see you pumping your fist. Did you open the bag?

Keep in your speaking. Knock it. Jump it. Bang it. Pump it. Hot.

Calling all freaks.

Calling all freaks.

Jump.

Jump. Calling all freaks.

Clear.

Nice job, officer.

All right. We'll gradually increase the duration over six weeks. It shouldn't be

any problems.

So it won't mess me up for work? You know, maybe a little more fatigued than

usual. You're a lucky girl, you know.

Clear margins.

clean lymph nodes, six weeks of radiation, and you're done.

Uh -huh.

I don't think I'll feel safe till I'm clear for like a year or two.

Things look good.

I believe you've lost your torch, Miss Liberty.

She says in a few weeks I should be able to put my feet behind my ears.

Who? Hi, yoga teacher.

Did you say when you'd be able to pull your head out of your ass? That's the

advanced class.

You can't rock my world.

I'm center.

I'm breathing, and I'm focused. Damn it. Come on.

You have to be so juvenile.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I can't tell you people anything.

Bosco's practicing his yoga.

What, are you trying to get into your teacher's knickers? I'm striving to

improve myself.

Striving? Something nobody around here has any ambition for.

Well, until recently, your idea of improving yourself was like clipping

toenails.

Nice. Oh, come on. My paisan's like you do yoga.

You have to play with guns. You do fantasy football.

Don't forget touching themselves.

Keep laughing.

We'll be leaving you people soon enough.

Yolkis and I are joining the law enforcement elite.

You're becoming ninjas?

ESU. We're getting into ESU.

We got complaints from Axe on the street again.

Yolkis and Bazzarelli, you'll be clearing that good neighborhood of

girls and their business managers tonight.

Thank you. That'll last for what?

24 hours. Do a better job this time.

Tired of the beef.

Well, where is it that you want the hookers to go, boss? I mean, they have

mouths to feed, too, you know. Suggest a different precinct.

They can be some other boss's comms, that black guy.

Ah, the law enforcement elite.

I hope.

I hope.

He's off to work you up, yours.

Hooker fest. That's exactly how I hope to be spending my evening.

You need to keep a more positive mental attitude.

You ever considered yoga?

Shut up, boss.

Whatever.

Looking for a new job?

Should be. I don't know who'd hire you after what I tell them. Like I'd use you

as a reference.

Still pouting over working with Taylor. I'm not pouting.

Looks like pouting to me.

Maybe you should focus less this way and more on that fruit loop you got for a

partner now.

Hey, voice him out.

What are you talking about? The woman he has no chance with?

No, breakfast cereal.

Never mind.

Go change. I'll be in the bus.

Good to treat someone who understands himself.

Oh, no, no. Take your time.

I already got the bus all cleaned up and ready to go. Good.

Didn't even need any help?

Good.

Hey. Tomorrow, you clean up the bus alone.

Fine.

I thought you only read the funny.

Trying to find a decent apartment I can afford.

You know what I need?

Lessons in basic social skills?

A roommate.

You're not looking at me.

Like I want ladies underwear and nair in my bathroom.

Isn't that stuff already in your bathroom?

A roommate, yeah.

I'm sorry, but I just have to ask.

Who could you find that would be that desperate?

Is he talking about women again?

You know what? You two should ride together.

You don't seem very excited about us finally getting what we want. What do we

want?

ESU.

That's what you want.

Oh, come on. You said it yourself.

Shagging whores is a lousy way to spend the day.

This kind of crap isn't even in the ESU job description.

You're on probation. You can't even get into ESU anyway. I'm off probation in

six weeks.

Scores? Tack house? Higher than ever. Plus?

Saw my buddy Hobart last night. He's going to put a good word in for us.

you need more than good shooting in the rabbit hole.

Another eighth in the hole.

What? Auto mechanic.

I can fix engines.

They need guys who can fix engines.

And so it begins.

Moving day.

All right, ladies, take a hike.

For real, you got to go.

Come on, Bosco.

Why are you messing with us? My dear Maisie, you know I personally don't give

damn what you do, as long as you're not my problem.

I didn't do anything to you. Yeah, but my boss, he made you my problem today.

All right, you have to get off the street. This street right now.

We'll be back. Check.

All right, and anybody who's still around later gets popped, okay? So tell

friends. I may be a whore, but I got rights.

We'll keep that in mind.

See you, girls.

Guy insists on prosecuting for candy bars.

You heard him. The law is the law.

Yeah, like he doesn't sell liquor and cigarettes to preteens every day.

Profit is profit.

Where am I going?

Prison. Really?

No, you're not going to prison. Come on.

Don't make her.

Don't say that.

Really. Don't make her.

Of course it does.

Hospital.

He's a juvenile. We've got to take him.

Come on, we've got to take him. Let's go.

Watch your head.

You know, it used to be you'd call the parents and they'd come down and kick

Junior's ass a little bit.

Those were the good old days.

First there's an interview, then a week of more testing at the range. I got that

so covered.

Yoga helps my agility.

Keeps me centered.

Yeah, I know. It's how you glaze right over the interview part. Maybe you ought

to take a class on how to pretend you're somebody you're not. We need to get you

out there to the range so you can practice some.

Oh, yeah. That's my other favorite thing. Hookers and guns.

Maybe Cosmo would do an article on me. The new woman. Watch this.

Try the universal four calls.

You expecting someone else, ladies?

Let's go move up a little bit.

Ladies, you're not working this area.

We're not working. If you see me walking, we're just hanging out in the

Don't jerk me around.

Listen to me. If we see you again, you're going in. All right, ladies?

And you don't want to try me tonight.

Turn around. I'm hungry.

What's this guy doing?

Ignore it.

I want to go eat.

Rats and whores always make me hungry.

Bosco, he's in a car.

He's off the street.

Dinner! Just take a second.

Greetings.

This is not God. This is his close friend, Officer Boscarelli. Please pull

I said pull over, please.

Sometimes the job ain't half bad.

Thank God you don't feel this good, Mary Olsen.

I'll get my driver's license.

Good evening, John.

John?

Hey, Miss Hooker. How are you this fine evening?

Stay in the car.

Relax. Nobody's getting collared.

Here's the deal.

You can't conduct your business in a moving vehicle, all right? You could

an accident.

I guess you could chomp down and... Sorry.

I don't usually pay for it. Not to mention the fact that you're crossing

lanes here. You're driving like a goof.

You hear me?

Add a $75 moving violation to your $20 date, you might as well have sprung for

dinner and a movie.

You see how it can all add up?

And, miss, you're going to have to find somewhere else to work.

Thank you, officer.

No problem, sport.

Sometimes I think hookers are the only ones out here that have a worse job than

I do.

Not when we get to ESU.

That's real police work.

I want to talk to the cops. I heard you the first 25 times, sir.

Officer.

Officer. Yeah.

I need help.

Looks like you're already in pretty good hands, sir.

My old lady hit me over the head with a smoover.

What the hell's a smoover?

You know, just smoothing out your clothes.

I want her locked up.

The hospital will contact the police after you've been looked at, sir. We're

just standing right here.

Ah, love is in the air.

He'll be in here if you need him.

You're not going to do nothing about this?

Aren't you going to do nothing about this?

And that only took three hours. His parents are having their attorney meet

the house.

You know, you're getting to be a real pain in the ass, Junior.

You guys know anyone looking to share an apartment?

I want to get something bigger, and I figured a roommate's the way to go.

No. What area are you looking in?

I don't care as long as it's nice.

Really, what kind of money are we talking about? What? What?

What, you're interested?

What are you doing?

What's your problem?

Nothing.

Why don't you go wait in the break room?

We got man things to discuss.

Man things?

Don't make me kick your ass, Colin.

Ooh.

I'm not doing the run -through.

You know, I'll catch up with you later. All right, yeah, cool.

There's a partnership made in heaven. All right.

Let's go meet your attorney, baby face.

Who? Your attorney. That's the one that's going to help you beat the rap.

Sexual assault. Another thing ESU doesn't have to handle.

You called us?

Five bucks and the elevator's broken.

Oh, like I'd get on it even if it wasn't.

Yeah, who is it?

Who does she think it is?

Police.

Come in. Is it Golden?

This way.

You reported a sexual assault?

Yes, my daughter was raped.

Shaquana.

So what's your name?

Shaquana Golden.

I'm sorry?

Shaquana. And how would we spell Shaquana?

S -H -A -Q -U -A -N -A.

Huh, just like it sounds.

Um, what happened, Shaquana? I told you, she was raped by the building super,

Alan Johnson.

Ma 'am, I'm going to need to hear this from your daughter.

He gave her a ride home.

Who raped her in his car.

Then said if she told, he'd get us kicked out of the apartment.

In his car?

Yes. Ma 'am.

Shaquana?

Come on, baby, you need to tell her what happened.

She was walking home from her job, and he drove up and offered her a ride.

How old are you?

Eighteen. And where do you work?

El Taquito.

Do you have to wear a uniform for that job?

You want to walk around in an El Taquito uniform?

No, I don't, ma 'am.

They change at work.

So, Shaquana, were you dressed like that when you were walking home?

Would you excuse us? Can I speak to you outside? Sure.

That kid didn't expect to see us walk through the door. Would a real Shaquana

please stand up? Is that mom in for a shock, or what?

We saw the evil twin, now we got the victimized angel?

What do we do here?

A hooker raped?

At best, it's theft of services.

Just tell the mother what the girl's real job is so we can go back to work.

Was she hooking?

Maybe it's a kid having sex and trying to keep it from her mom. Come on.

You saw her.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

This is a nice place you got here.

I'm a bookkeeper for the African Cultural Center and a few other non

I'm a tax -paying upstanding citizen.

Isn't that what you want to know?

Help you figure out if we're worth believing?

Here we go.

No, ma 'am.

Then what are you waiting for?

Is something wrong?

Maybe we want to consider the fact that your daughter's 18.

Shaquana, do you want to say anything here?

What would it take for you to believe that a black girl didn't ask for it?

Right, this is all about race. It has nothing to do with the fact that

here... All right, Bosco, Bosco.

Shaquana, were you at work tonight?

Shaquana, were you at El Tequita? Because that's really easy for us to

I was with my girls at the pier.

You skipped work?

He said he'd give me a ride home.

We're pressing charges.

We don't need your approval.

Just do your job.

Or do I have to call a supervisor? We'll need to take Shaquana down to the

hospital so she can get checked out.

Fine.

Let's go, baby.

Look at that.

Like butter wouldn't melt.

We should have separated them.

What?

We should have taken them both out of the car and found out what was going on,

even if it was consensual. What good would that have done?

Look, she didn't tell her mom we stopped her.

She knew we saw what she looked like. Yeah, well, she's lying all over the

place. Yeah, so to speak.

Officer Boscarelli. Sorry, Doc, I know this is a wild goose chase.

The girl definitely had sex in the last 12 hours. No kidding.

We'll have to wait for the test results, but it looks like one partner.

No condom. Do you know the guy?

Yeah.

So, is it rape?

Inconclusive.

Now what?

Now what?

Now you go arrest that son of a bitch.

golden i don't i don't care that she lied about work or that she was with him

voluntarily he raped her and nothing gives him that right does it

i'm gonna have another car come down

and take you both to the station you can fill out statements and you can wait

there while we go pick mr johnson up

Guess who?

Hey, man.

What's going on? Alan Johnson?

Yeah. Let me grab a shirt.

Yeah, don't worry about the pants.

What's up?

The young lady we saw you with earlier tonight?

Yeah. Says you raped her.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I didn't rape anybody.

Oh, my God.

Well, why would she say that?

You saw the two of us. Did it look like she was getting raped?

All we can say is you were together.

And that's not going to help your case.

Case?

There's going to be a case against me?

Look, I did get her home a little late.

She had to say something, so... Her mom's a real intense lady,

you know.

Shaquana probably got scared and just lied.

You had intercourse with her?

Yeah.

I mean, you told us not to be driving, so we, you know, I pulled over to the

side street.

And look, this girl has been after me.

AJ, don't wake up the kids.

What's going on?

Nothing, baby, nothing.

Just somebody prowling around the building.

This guy's getting it royally.

Ah, yeah.

And all he did was screw an 18 -year -old girl while his wife and his kids

at home. Don't transfer.

Transfer?

It's a psychological principle, all right?

I read about it in Fundamentals of Criminal Investigation. It's one of the

recommended by Hobart.

I really don't like you this way.

You're going to have to come with us.

What am I supposed to tell my wife?

Tell her you need to identify the prowler.

Come on, man. Can't we just... No, we can't.

Get some pants.

Once you've been accused of rape, you can never shake it. Look me for

else. For the bad driving, man. Anything. Look, man, it's your word

hers. All right? System will work it out.

You know how to work it out for me. Hey, Sarge, I got one on a sexual assault.

Is this Aunt Golden?

Yeah, are they here?

Sullivan took them upstairs. Name?

Name's Alan Johnson.

He goes by AJ. He's in good physical condition.

$29.

Which one of you is just taking the collar? I mean, which one's stuck with

We'll let you know.

Not getting off late because of this train wreck. I'll take it. Man, this

is known.

Hoes all over the projects, then goes to church with her mom. You know what I'm

talking about?

She's like an expert at deception. You cannot believe a word.

She's tripping.

So you were entrapped in marital sex with a girl who was recently a minor?

never wanted a little something -something on the side, officer?

Enjoy yourself with Mr.

Smoothstalker here. I'm going to go upstairs and see how the statements are

going.

You know what she needs, don't you? Yep.

Yoga.

What?

Where's your mother?

Went to the bathroom.

You doing all right?

Well, you arrested that AJ.

He says you have a crush on him.

Had.

That's normal.

Why don't we talk about what happened tonight?

I told you what happened.

AJ raped me. So what, when we stopped you, you don't say anything?

Because I got to say, you know, you had the chance.

Look, is all this happening because you're embarrassed to tell your mom that

had sex with him?

Shaquana, it is time.

To tell the truth.

It really wasn't rape, was it?

Was it? You can't make me lie.

He raped me.

Okay, so after we stopped you... Not after.

It started before.

He put his stinking thing in my... In my...

Then you stopped us.

Why didn't you scream?

Why didn't you say anything to us? I don't know.

I was freaking. It was like I couldn't talk. My brain wasn't working right.

I was watching myself do this stuff, but I couldn't feel anything.

Then I heard this voice say, not God, but officer something. And I thought.

Then I couldn't get why he was laughing at me.

I just couldn't get it.

When?

Who laughed at you?

When I was in the car with AJ, two cops stopped. There's her and her partner.

What?

He called me a whore and laughed at me?

What?

They told AJ not to do it while he was driving, so he pulled away and that's

when...

You know it.

I'm not lying.

You were there.

Officer Davis around?

I can have someone go get him.

No, that's all right. I got to get to work.

Can I leave him some listings?

We're thinking about getting a place together.

Oh, are you now?

Yeah, maybe.

So are you a little... too?

What?

You know, of the same persuasion.

What persuasion?

You don't know about Davis?

No, what about him?

He's a little light in loafers.

Get out of here.

He's always talking about the chicks he scores with.

Oh, it's a smoke screen.

He does talk a lot about it.

You know what?

Forget it.

Sir, is that a NATO?

Some bucket, Barry.

You leaving the apartment listing?

Nope.

Baffi Carelli, roll call in two. No problem.

I've got a special treat for you today.

Sending yourself yoga, boy, you're starting to sweat.

I overslept. I was in court all damn night on the bogus rape.

Bogus? I thought that family was pretty nice.

Oh, yeah, you should see the girl when she ain't around moms.

Kids are going to hell today.

Bosco, I need to talk to you about that. Yeah, prelim's tomorrow.

We got an appointment with the DA as soon as we can get down there.

I know, I tried to call you all morning. I unplugged the phone.

No call.

Bosco, I need to talk to you.

Where's my damn shirt?

Looks like you could use a smoova.

A what?

Yeah.

Bosco.

Bosco, I need to talk to you.

Later. All right, later.

Also, our moving violations are down, so if you see something, kindly get off

your ticket books.

That's it.

Boscarelli, stay back.

30 seconds. He's going to have me for 30 damn seconds.

Bosco? Yokus, you can leave.

Yeah, I prefer to stay.

Suit yourself.

Good news.

What is it?

Mrs. Rita Golden is filing a complaint against you with the Civilian Complaint

Review Board. What?

And since you're on disciplinary probation when the complaint is

can forget about ESU.

Oh, not to mention the movement I'll start to have you fired.

Am I included in this complaint?

No.

Just the officer who called the rape victim a whore. She wasn't a rape

I'm sorry, didn't you arrest a man last night for raping the young lady in

question? You sent us out to shag hookers. You said it was a Comstead

And somehow this becomes my fault?

Look, Jason, don't do this to me, man. This is going to be fun, Boscarelli.

Real fun.

Oh, man.

I tried to talk to you.

Hold on, you knew about this? I knew that Mrs. Golden found out about the

Come on.

Carlos.

Carlos.

Hey.

Hey. You bring any listing?

Yeah.

Uh, no.

Really not a whole lot to check out.

Well, you just said this morning there's a couple of sweet places.

Yeah. You know what?

I don't know if I'm going to do this whole roommate thing.

Really? Yeah.

You know, I've been alone so long, I don't know if I really want to share my

space. You know what I mean?

Wait, just yesterday.

Yesterday what?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Ooh,

more man -to -man stuff, huh?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Nothing. That's what you said yesterday.

Yeah. Well, watch out.

Hey.

Hey, back.

All right, so you're sure about this? Yeah, totally sure.

All right, then I'll just...

This

broad's going to ruin my life because her daughter's a whore?

Bosco, I think it's possible that... That what?

That we messed up.

What? I talked to her last night.

I think Shaquan is credible.

You do?

I believe her. She was dressed like little Kim. So?

So she was banging him and you saw her.

I don't think so.

I think he was raping her when we pulled them over and we messed up.

Are you kidding me?

Excuse me?

She said it was happening when we stopped them. Yeah, we were standing two

from her.

We got guns. We're cops.

She said nothing.

Not a yelp, not a damn peep.

She was in shock.

And I think... I think we might have scared her into not asking for help. No,

she didn't say anything because she wanted to make her 20 bucks.

We made a mistake.

How many times have we had girls cry rape just to get themselves out of

A lot, I know, I know. So what makes this different?

What makes this different, Faith?

Women cry rape if they're bumped too hard in the subway.

How's anybody supposed to take it seriously?

Because we're supposed to figure out the difference.

That's our job.

What if we left a kid in a car with a rapist?

That did not happen, Faith.

You hearing me?

I did not do that.

Not you, we.

We. Good afternoon,

police people.

Right this way.

Okay, rape number 1 ,872.

This year?

Mm -hmm. What can I say? Rape is popular.

Allegedly. You stopped them?

Swerved across the double yellow.

So what was her interaction like?

Ordinary, considering she was getting friendly with his Johnson.

Friendly? Very.

And she didn't appear to be in distress?

Absolutely not.

Great. My own cops will be the defendant's best witnesses.

There's no case.

We did witness him pushing her head into his lap. Pushing?

Did you see pushing?

When?

When they were swerving, we were behind them. He pushed her head down? Yeah,

Officer Yocas, was she pushed?

Or did she jump?

Huh?

Did he force her? I don't know.

You believe she was right? Yeah, I do. Why?

I don't know.

Hindsight, I guess.

That's not evident. I can't win this.

She thinks I scared the girl so she couldn't ask for help.

Did you?

She looked like a hooker. I joked like she was a hooker. A hooker. That was our

assignment. We were shagging Ninth Avenue hookers. That's where we saw

looked like a prostitute. Why didn't you separate them?

This bleeding heart here was hungry.

Don't you put this on me.

She was on the guy.

Her shirt was open. She was in shock.

How do you know? Did she look scared?

Yeah.

Uh -uh.

Not to me.

I don't know about him.

I really think that guy raped this girl.

If we push this, it's going to look bad for the two of you.

Are we just going to ignore this?

I told you, there's nothing to talk about. The preliminary hearing is

And he didn't rape that girl.

Look, I know this could screw you up going into ESU.

ESU.

Another complaint doesn't look good. You think this is about ESU? Well, what is

it then?

I mean, why can't you even consider that we might have been wrong? If I can't

trust my instincts, how do I function?

Huh? How do I do my job?

Now it looks to be some kind of damn mind reader.

No.

He's lying. No, I don't think... So you really don't know

if the girl was raped?

She was.

I can feel it.

Is that enough?

I can't live with this on my conscience.

I mean, I could be dead in a year.

Don't say that.

We judged this girl wrong the second that we saw her.

I can't turn my back on her.

So don't.

Yeah, but whatever I testify at this hearing tomorrow, it goes into the

it gets used against Bosco at the complaint review.

I mean, I can't turn my back on him either.

He's always been there for me.

Always.

He can't lose his job because of me.

It wouldn't be because of you.

He's a big mouth.

He wants ESU so bad.

What? What is that?

Maybe he doesn't deserve a promotion.

He works so hard.

He studies.

He spends hours at the range.

Yeah, yeah, but maybe he forgot the most important part of what he's supposed to

be doing.

Yeah. Come here.

What? Come here.

What? Whoa.

Whoa, man. Whoa.

I'm going to ask you a question, all right? Look at me when I'm talking to

Listen to me. I want a straight answer. All right. I'm not asking you with a

cop. It's not official. You hear what I'm saying? All right, man. I said all

right.

Did you break that cop?

Did you?

Did you rape that girl?

No.

No.

She wanted it.

AJ?

It's all right.

If you lie to me, I'm going to kill you.

The car was swerving, so we pulled them over.

The defendant was cooperative.

When you first saw the car swerving, what else, if anything, did you notice?

male driver guiding the head of the female passenger into his lap.

What did you assume?

We assume that the female was performing oral sex on the driver, causing him to

drive erratically. What else did you assume?

Because of the area and such, we assume that she was a prostitute and he was a

john. Doesn't such mean because she's black?

Quiet!

When Officer Bascarelli approached them, what did he say? He asked for Mr.

Johnson's license and registration.

What else?

Nothing.

What was his demeanor when he was talking to the defendant, Antiquana?

Professional. Judge, she's changing her story.

That's your problem, Ms. Jansen.

This is a hearing to show cause. And so far, you don't have any.

I'm sorry, Your Honor. I did yesterday.

Move on.

Okay, let me ask you this.

Officer Yocas, did your partner, Officer Bascarelli...

Badger. Shaquana Golden called her a whore and laughed at her?

No. Did he create such a charged environment that it was impossible for

to ask for help?

No.

I did.

What? I thought she was a prostitute.

I joked around with her. I used the word whore. And when she tried to get out of

the car... She what?

She tried to get out of the car.

She looked upset.

I thought she was afraid of being arrested.

So I told her to relax.

I put her back in the car, and I shut the door. She tried to get away, and you

put her back in the car with the defendant?

Yes.

I saw the fear in her eyes, and I misread it.

I think she was in a bad situation, and I failed to understand it at the time.

I failed to help her.

I made a bad call.

I'm sorry I didn't protect you.

It was my job, and I didn't do it well.

I'm sorry.

This is going to trial.

What the hell are you doing? I hope you don't expect congratulations.

No.

Sorry. You can't change what happened.

Hey. I told him it was me.

You should be okay on the complaint.

They're going to try the bastard, and good news, it won't affect ESU.

I don't give a damn about ESU. Yeah, well, you're welcome anyway.

I helped him do it, didn't I?

I made her stay in the car.

I closed the door. I told her to stay in the car. I made her.

I made her.

Bosco, we didn't know.

I can't be that guy.

Bosco.

I can't be the guy that helped the girl get raped.

We didn't know. But I can't.

I can't be that guy, all right? See?

I can't be the guy. I can't.

Charlie, the Central Heaven Plus is found at this location.

What happened to your Maisie?

I don't know, man.

I just found him like that.

All right, don't go anywhere, all right?

One thing's for sure.

Whoever did this really didn't like this guy.

They're calling for the crew.

Specialist 55 Charlie, we have an apparent homicide. Get the ball rolling.

Did you see anybody out here when you found him?

Nope.
