Previously on Curve Watch.

Ryan Buckley, quadriplegic.

At least he's breathing when he's out. He's paralyzed?

On his legs.

What are you supposed to do, let him choke to death?

Collar goes on, you don't take it off, I know that. That's an order, Taylor, not

a request. Move out. No, we're doing fine, Lou. You're psycho, old man.

Father's a chief.

Still missing.

He said you were sick. I shouldn't have pushed you. I have cancer.

What? I should have told you sooner.

It's time off.

He's always doctors. He's teachers.

I don't know any of that stuff. But I want to make up for lost time. You can't

take my baby away from me.

Hey.

Hi.

Sorry to bother you. Do I look busy to you?

My name's Monty.

I'm one of the paramedics who brought you in. Oh, excuse me if I don't get up.

Sorry.

Just call me in one of those mood swings the doctors warn me about.

I'm all right, I suppose.

Yeah, well, you know, yesterday was better.

It was more of an upswing.

And that's your sport?

No.

I'm a surfer.

Visit all your patients.

Monty, you said, right?

Yeah.

Thanks for coming, Monty.

What time's Kim picking him up?

I thought she was off tonight.

Hey, Tarzan, sit down before you hurt someone.

I'm only following Galvatron.

He has wings. You don't. Sit.

I know we said two, Catherine, but you could take him sooner.

Joey!

Don't make me tell you again. Sit down.

No, no, he's fine.

You know, he's a daredevil.

Yeah, yeah, I can bring him in an hour. That'd be good.

No, no, no.

Thank you, Catherine. I really appreciate it.

All right.

Well, we're on for coffee.

Great.

You're lucky to have a nanny who's that flexible.

This nanny happens to be my ex -mother -in -law.

So, we're still friends with each other, right?

Sort of.

We made it through Joey's birthday together. No casualties.

Good for you.

It seems the only time my Isabel sees me and my ex together, we are added to

their spell.

That must be tough.

Hey, look who's back.

Hi. Hey, how was the shore?

Sandy. Yeah, beach is the only reason to go to Jersey.

Don't forget Atlantic City. Did you get up there at all?

No, we just, uh, just slept in and hung out.

That's nice.

See you roll call.

Hey.

You feeling better?

They don't seem like they know.

Unless you told them they don't.

Thanks.

Have you been busy?

Not really.

Hurry up, though. Christopher's been a real hard -ass lately.

Shh, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

It hurts.

I know it hurts. They're going to fix you right up. You can be tough, champ.

All right?

You don't want the girls to see you cry, do you?

Come on.

Say it, say it. Big boys don't cry.

Big boys don't cry.

That's my man.

All right.

We're going to wait outside.

No, you don't have to. No, no, it's okay.

I'm sorry.

About them? Oh, who cares if they leave?

Hey, so you had an accident?

Yeah, well, just a little one. But we're tough, right, champ?

How you doing?

Want to take a look?

I'll be careful.

Oh, oh, oh.

Any day now, that's all they could tell us.

The judge's decision should come any day.

I'm thinking a custody case could be a little more specific.

It's not like I'm waiting at home for a table to be installed. This is my kid

we're talking about.

That's what I said, 827.

It should be right around here.

You know, building numbers would help.

Who the hell would voluntarily live in a neighborhood like this?

Place is three blocks from here.

Not to say that there isn't, you know, potential.

Come on, come on, come on, come on. This way, she's down here.

What happened to you? Don't worry about me, lady. It's my girlfriend, all right?

Come on, step it up.

Step it up?

The call said someone fainted. Fainted, passed out, whatever. She's inside.

Let's go.

She's right in here.

I still call her on her.

Yeah, you do.

Is she going to be all right?

What's her name?

Franny. Franny.

Hello, Franny.

Franny.

Franny, can you hear me?

You call that fainted?

She's got a significant hematoma to the right bridal area.

So she hit it on the way down.

She started hitting me, and I just... I kind of lost my temper.

Franny.

Franny, can you hear me?

Hey, there she is. She's all right, right?

Is she high?

No. It's important that you tell us the truth. If she's on something, we need to

know. I said no.

We didn't score, and she just freaked out on me.

Freaked out on you?

Vital skin.

Pulse 130, BP 100 over 60, rest 20.

Let's get her on the board.

Hey, hey, wait a minute!

Leave him, leave him.

He's not our job, she is. Adam 553, we need PB here.

We're on scene now, Central.

Pressure's dropping.

Little bagger in the bus.

What's up?

That beat up his girlfriend pretty bad.

Is he still inside?

He left while we were working on it. Probably went out the back way.

Well, I had to leave his name with dispatch.

Yeah, like nobody's ever lied to a dispatcher before.

You guys get a good look at him? Yeah, I can describe him. Kim, let's go.

All right.

We'll catch up with you at the hospital.

All right, good.

820's female, blunt force head trauma, GCS3, BP's 90s over 60s, but it started

dropping fast as we pulled in, so it's probably something internal going on.

All right, on my count.

Ready? One, two, three.

There's no radio pulses.

What happened to her? Boyfriend beat her up.

What a hell of a job.

Get a central line kit.

Right.

Cam.

You find Joey yet?

What?

Exam four.

What happened?

Jimmy brought him in. He's okay.

Go. Go.

Jimmy, what happened?

He's fine.

He just broke his arm. Broke his arm?

Yeah, they're setting it now. Why aren't you with him? She's right. I'm keeping

you. We just stepped out. Who the hell are you?

Uh, Kim, this is, um... Are you kidding me?

Oh, please. Joey?

Oh, honey.

You okay?

Oh, sweetie.

Mommy, it felt so hard.

I know, sweetie. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I wasn't there.

Almost done?

Hey, hey, hey, tough guy.

You remember what we said?

He's allowed to cry.

He's fine.

Honey, you can cry if something hurts. It's okay.

Kim, boys get hurt.

I broke my arm twice playing football.

It's like a badge of honor. Do you know how many people are going to want to

sign that cash, champ? Especially the girls.

It's going to be fun. You'll see.

You know what, honey?

We're going to be right outside the door. Just for a second, okay?

I'm almost done here. Okay. We'll be right back.

Okay?

It'll be all right. You stay tough.

We're just right outside, okay, honey?

Why didn't you call me?

I left a message at dispatch.

I've been a little busy.

Well, you found time to make a new friend.

Oh, come on. Her kid plays at the same park. She just gave us a ride over here.

Don't uh -huh me.

It's none of your business anyway. Joey breaks his arm while you're chatting up

some hot little mom out trolling the playground.

That's none of my business.

I was watching him the whole time, Kim.

All right? He fell.

It happens. Not with me, it doesn't. But I get away with it happens. Turn it

around. What would the judge say to that, Jimmy? Don't even think about

this into the custody case, Kim. Oh, like you wouldn't if it was me. Hey.

Hey. Kid clipped his wing, huh?

It's nothing.

Not nothing.

Yeah, I broke mine twice. Once playing street hockey. The other time I was

popping a wheelie on my DMX. Yeah?

Football. I was a leg man myself.

Right ankle twice.

Left leg once.

See? Boys take chances.

They get hurt. That's how we learn. Oh, my God. I thought for the rest of the

night. Kim, actually, we need to talk. Why?

Kim, I'm not working.

I'll take him out for pizza and ice cream. He'll forget about the whole

no time.

Seriously, Kim, I mean, it's not like the kid's got a brain tumor or anything.

Why does no one care? He broke a bone.

Yeah, my mom was always pretty upset about it, too.

Yeah, that's right. Women get hysterical, right?

We need the description of the perp from the domestic all -doc to come up with

his white late 20s. Yeah, well, we were both pretty preoccupied.

He'd beaten her half to death.

Not half.

What? She's dead.

Died a couple minutes ago. It's a homicide now.

Him.

We're all caught up.

Last few days with Gessa.

We're at the house till 1 a .m. trying to finish the paper.

That paper's not as strong, sir.

But he had the strong suit.

Well, he's eager.

You really feeling better?

Yeah, much.

You should have told me.

I know.

Besides, I need to know if you're going to be able to back me up.

Hearts.

That's for not telling you it was a mistake.

I'm truly sorry.

Are you going to be alright?

It looks that way.

Don't do that again.

I'll tell you everything. No, don't get sick again.

That's what really sucks at the paper.

I'll come, buddy.

All right, well, I'll tell him I love him, then.

Okay, yeah.

Joey's sleeping.

Jimmy said that it hasn't been hurting him that much, but I don't know if he

would tell me if it was.

This has got to shift things in my direction.

I mean, broken bones are something you can't just ignore.

You think I'm overreacting about Joey?

It's your fault, kid.

A broken bone is a big deal, right?

A BP dropped in the butt.

Who? The girl we just lost.

Yeah, but it stabilized a minute later, and there was no way we could have

known. Right, right.

The rest of her vitals were steady.

Abdomen looked normal. Yeah, except that bastard forgot to mention they had

ruptured her spleen.

Yeah, yeah.

But I still think there's something more we could have done. Like what?

I don't know.

Exactly.

I went to see that kid Ryan Buckley today, talked to the doctors after I saw

him. They think that there might be a chance that he's just temporary, just

bruised. What the hell are you doing? I mean, his mother's dead, his father

might not even know yet.

Did they put up a big sign saying that you paralyzed that kid? No.

You're calling attention to yourself.

Come lying in that bed with nothing to do but think, I'm starting to wonder why

is this paramedic always under my nose?

Come on, Kim, just because you're trying to get your son back, I'm not going to

pretend like this never happened. What?

You were the one that lied to that doctor. I didn't lie. All I did was back

up. Hey, I did not lie.

Here's a flag.

I'm not perfect.

Neither are you.

We make mistakes.

Welcome to the world of us mortal, Doc.

I broke my arm once.

Junior high.

Jumping off Frank Shaughnessy's roof.

You jumped off a roof?

Yeah, onto some old mattresses.

I missed.

Frankie's sister was watching.

Oh, little Billy Walsh trying to impress the girls. I see.

It didn't help that I cried afterwards.

Sissy. I was a kid.

Yeah? Joey, tough as nails, not a whimper. Can we help you?

Looking for Lieutenant Johnson?

Who are you?

Prescott. Kyle Prescott.

58 engine.

I'm trying out with the squad.

Down the hall, second door on the left.

Tommy Doyle's replacement?

How old is he, six?

Eight, maybe.

They transfer these guys.

5 -5, Adam, 5 -5 -3, boy, 5 -5 -3. We have a residential fight.

A lot of trucks delayed. We'll take their position. Do search and rescue two

three. We'll work if anyone's inside.

Garty, Prescott, floors above.

D .K. Walsh, on the roof. All right, yes, sir. Go.

Go.

Get all the probies

on that crew.

58's got a bunch, too.

I got four years on, and I was one of the senior men.

Jimmy Doherty, you're going to be with me, all right? No problem.

Excuse me.

Who the hell is that?

Get the seats out.

Are you back from 58?

Yeah, I guess the retirement house. Don't think that should be leapfrogging

Leapfrogging? Do you think he's going to replace me on the squad?

Yeah, I'm four men.

Three.

I'm coming back. As soon as the MS is back, it's all staff.

No one's going to keep that from happening.

I don't miss your cheery disposition.

What? We need to get up to your roof, ma 'am. Why?

There's a fire next door, ma 'am. We gotta move fast.

Well, be careful.

Absolutely. I mean, I've got antiques.

You don't leave my back, all right?

Man in the room, man at the door. Don't worry about me.

We worry about each other.

I'll be quick.

I feel him, Jimmy.

Prescott, where the hell are you? On the stairs. I got a 10 -45.

Take her out.

We got one. There's a 10 -45 coming out.

10 -4 and a 45.

Searching the basement is negative.

Big fire.

Be in there, fight.

Anything I can do to make that dream a reality, don't hesitate to ask.

I'll just keep being you.

What got me going into a fire with 50 pounds of gear on?

60, without an axe.

Whatever.

Taylor, we got someone coming out.

I'll stay here, Lou.

Excuse me, are you in charge here? Yes, ma 'am, I'm a little bit busy right now.

19th century, Royal Worcester.

And your men came in?

What's the end of my house? Like, vandals didn't call.

You got what about vandals? Two men.

I mean, they came into my house. I got a fire. I got a victim. I'll be right

back. No disrespect.

Oh, good Lord.

Oh, Lord.

Right here.

How's it going up there?

She's bleeding.

We got her. We got her.

Look here, you know this woman, ma 'am? Oh, I live next door.

She's a babysitter. I've never seen her.

Sir, there's kids in there? Yes, two.

Lou, you better hear this.

Fire department.

Six -five squad to Iron City. I'm Jimmy.

Yeah, second floor is clear, Lou.

All right, you might have two kids in there.

I'll find them.

You wait there. Your backup is on his way.

You got that?

the baby.

Don't put it by a window.

What more? No, it's it.

Wait for it.

Prescott's coming down with the baby.

Lou, I'm going back up to three.

I'm gonna let it go in the tree in the front.

Department of Department!

Back!

Honey. Doctor.

What do you

guys need?

Experienced mother.

Come on.

All right, stay down.

Stay down. Keep your head down. You hear me? Keep your head down.

Well, I found the kid, but the hallway's blocked. I can't get up front.

Did you get me from the rope?

Hang on, Jimmy. We got Philly coming down on the rope.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Billy! I got you, Jimmy!

Hey!

All right, we're getting out!

There's fire coming out the window below.

Move, we're trapped in the third floor back room. Hey!

Hey! Get over here!

You stay right here, you hear me?

Stay here, stay down.

Right here, you don't move. Jimmy, we're on our way.

Go out the roof.

Find him. Third floor, back room, now.

Let's go, let's go.

All right, there you go. Deep breath.

Hey, don't cry.

Makes it harder to breathe.

If you listen to me, we're getting out of here.

Just keep your head down. You understand me?

Roof to iron. We got a saw going above you, Jimmy. We'll be down there in three

minutes. I don't have three minutes!

Matt! Wake up!

Hold on, Jimmy! We're coming!

We're on the floor, Jimmy.

Hold the block. You hear that?

Jimmy, where are you?

It's the closet. I can hear him. Call him.

Yeah, just get the kid.

Get on it!

Get on it!

Is that the kid? He's on the way to Mars.

Nice work to you.

A man in the room and a man at the door.

Yeah.

He'll get to you sometime.

Hey, think fast.

It was under your turnout.

Maybe tomorrow I'll bring in my Hot Wheels.

We can set up the track through here.

I thought you went to the hospital.

She's dehydrated.

Hi, I'm Kyle.

Did I do something to piss you off?

Let it go, Prescott. Trust me.

Don't worry.

I'll leave you alone for a couple of days.

Darling. Who is this guy?

Why is he here?

Jimmy.

Hey,

do you know if that kid pitched up okay, Max?

I did what I could, but it just wasn't time.

I should have given him more air.

What, were you a buddy breathing?

I needed it.

You needed it more.

Otherwise, nobody gets out.

Got him in. He's in my car mouthing off not ten minutes ago. Get him in the

cell. He goes all epileptic on me. He's not convulsing anymore.

Bring him back, you guys, please.

The last thing we need is some junkie croaking on our watch. Paperwork will

us six hours. Sir?

Sir?

Let's roll.

Doug? Yeah?

This is the guy.

What? He beat his girlfriend to death yesterday.

We pulse.

Needs air.

Yeah, it's a matter of opinion.

We got him making a buy -up in Hunts Point.

Only white boy for a mile. Chased him six blocks.

You taking the drugs? Not with me on his ass.

He wasn't holding when we caught him. I don't know. I figured he dumped his

stash. Yeah, unless he ate it.

10 -point pupils.

Heart rate 120.

It's in V -tech.

Cardiovert.

I got 100 joules.

That clear?

Nothing. Nothing? 200.

Clear.

Yeah, I got a sinus rhythm. Maybe 50?

Get 100 mg of lidocaine on board, 2 of Narcan.

Narcan, 2 mg.

Oh, look who's back. Thank you, God.

Oh.

Hi, uh, is this my... Yes, and you want to put it on?

Look who I found.

Max's newest best friend.

Jimmy Dory.

Max, honey.

Hey. Look who's here. Hey.

Is Facebook familiar?

Hey, champ.

Look what I found.

No, no. Get away.

Max. Make him go away. Go away.

I'm sorry. I just wanted... Go away.

Go away.

Max. What? It's okay. I wanted him to have this back. I don't want it. Hey,

Maxie, it's okay. This man saved you.

I'm sorry.

No.

Thanks again.

Yeah.

Do they all puke that much?

Depends.

Now, glad as I am you brought him back.

I'm going to be at the hospital all damn night with that piece of crap.

No justice.

Yeah, I can't argue with that.

You wrecked my life.

You're welcome.

I never meant to hurt her.

Kill her, you mean.

What? You beat her to death.

And here we are making sure you survive.

It's awake, boss.

Change places.

Damn it.

Boss!

Did you get me in the bucket?

Hey.

What are you doing?

This bothers you?

Me standing here?

Look, I didn't come here to start a beef with a paramedic.

I'm just trying out with the squad. That's it.

So if you don't mind.

Lost a lot of guys that day.

Like Chief Taylor.

Did you know him?

Who didn't?

He's a real smoke eater.

I worked fires with him.

You're lying, Prescott. You're too young.

I was brand new.

Still on probation.

My first year in was the last before he got promoted.

Oh, yeah?

So what was he like?

Difficult.

He was hell on us probies.

He's got a daughter, too.

On the job.

I never envied her.

He talked about her?

He was kind of touchy about it. What do you mean?

Like, maybe he didn't think it was such a good idea.

A woman being a firefighter.

He said that?

Just kept to himself about it.

Then someone would drop by and tell him how good she was doing.

He'd swell right up.

Then he'd try and shrug it off like it was nothing, but we knew.

She earned it.

That's all he'd say.

I'm scared.

I believe it, too.

Anyone with his last name would have a lot to prove.

You must have had it tough.

It was a hard man to please.

But you did it.

You're making this up.

No way.

I swear to God.

Thank you.

I didn't tell my attorney about Joey's arm.

He called me back, but I just couldn't do it.

Why not?

He'd get hurt.

It happens.

It doesn't make you a good parent or a bad parent.

Or a bad paramedic.

It just happened.

I couldn't survive without me intubating.

Not for long.

That guy was gonna choke.

But, Doc, things happen.

But he's alive.

Yeah. You got this?

Yeah.

Hey, Bob.

You got a minute?

Yeah, Taylor, come on in.

Big day for the squad. You guys did great out there.

You want to talk about Prescott, right?

Well, yeah.

His being here is no bearing on you.

Yeah, but if he's here, where do I fit in? I mean, how am I supposed to get

on the squad with him in the mix?

We need more than one new guy.

I'm doing better.

I'm sleeping better.

You sure you're ready?

I just missed it, that's all.

I'll find a new medic to take your slot.

Really? It's a tall order.

Not many as good as you.

Well, I'll find one.

And then you'll take me back?

Yeah, we'll work something out.

Okay, I'll do that.

Thanks, Lou.

No mention.

Where's your mom?

She's sleeping.

You look tired.

Is Troy okay?

Yeah, his arm's a little sore.

We're up watching a video.

I just wanted to see him.

Me too.

Go ahead. I'm making some tea.

Kiddo, look who's here.

Hey, tough guy. Hi, Daddy.

How's that arm feel?

It's okay.

Yeah? Mommy says it's hurting you.

No, no, it's okay.

You sure?

Sorry I cried like that.

I didn't mean to sound like a baby.

I won't cry again, okay? I promise.

You can cry all you want, honey.

Jim, I never said that. Jimmy.

I'm going to call you tomorrow.

See how you're doing, all right?

Okay.

of your son. I told you not to worry.

Give me a call.

The

most

awesome movie.

Yeah. Wasn't easy to find. Glad you like it.

Listen, I'm gonna, uh... Gonna let you get some rest.

Yeah.

Later. Night.

Why do you come here?

Do you feel sorry for me?

Look, it wasn't your fault.

For some stupid -ass car accident.

Maybe I'll come by tomorrow.

Yeah.

Hey, thanks for the movie.

No problem.

Hey, my tape stopped.

Excuse me.

Can I get a little help here?

Somebody please rewind my movie.

Hey, if it's not too much to ask...

Sirius, get in here. Somebody get in here, please.

Get in here now.

Nurse, somebody please. I think I can move.

Nurse, I think I can move.
