I'll take care of myself.

Besides, I like it here at this hour. There's no crowds, no line at the

checkout. They play good music.

It's my time to unwind.

More like rewind.

They play good.

Oh, look at you. Hey.

That face.

He's adorable.

Isn't he adorable?

Yeah, adorable.

Enjoy him at this age. They grow so fast.

Into this.

I will.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Attention, shoppers. Bay Foods will be closing in 15 minutes.

God knows when you're going to see a grandchild. There we go.

Why, Mom?

So my future ex -wife can take him shopping in the middle of the night?

hell is that?

Don't be judging.

She might be on her own. You know, there's many nights to take you and your

brother out on nights like this.

I'm still riding the basket. Do you remember?

I remember hanging on the front for dear life. Mikey always got the basket.

Yeah, well, he was the baby.

Uh -huh.

You wait until you have kids.

Then you'll see what it's like.

You're not going to believe the love you feel, the things you do. You do

anything for your child. Like enable them?

You made me forget the half and half. It's on the other side of the stool.

get it.

Make sure it's fat -free.

Half and half? How is that possible?

Amazing time we live in, Maurice.

That's three halves and halves.

Isn't that just milk?

The other one.

All right, everybody out. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Help the person in front of you.

No, Mom.

Let's go. No, Mom.

No. Get down there. Go.

Go.

Get out.

Where's the woman?

What the hell is this?

What the hell is this?

This news...

Let's go. Let's go.

Lady, look at me. Let's go. We're making a door. Get up.

Go. Follow me. Follow me. Come on, buddy.

Get up, please. We're all getting out, lady.

Okay, guys.

We got a baby.

We got a baby.

Watch your step.

Watch your step. All right.

Get up. One more. One more.

We live!

Can I do anything to help?

Do you notice anything?

No, I don't.

Carlos, I've got to find Bosco. You almost done in there? Not quite. Philip,

you need somebody to watch him? No, thank you. I'm all right. I just want to

help.

Pass me.

All right.

Be right back.

You know where Bosco is? Next bus over.

Bosco. The little boy. Got him? Is he okay?

Anybody look at you? Kim?

Yeah, Taylor's in. I'm fine.

Yeah, barely.

What about the boy? What about the little kid? It's fine. What about his

parents? She's the mother.

Where is she?

I don't know if I beat it.

I've never been through anything like that before.

I hope you never will again.

I guess you see this kind of stuff all the time, like a simple deal.

It's never over.

You never found them?

The boy's parents?

I never said they were missing.

Your mother has laryngeal edema.

Basically, the smoke caused her larynx to swell shut, blocking her airway.

Is she going to be okay?

Oh, yeah, once the swelling goes down.

We'll be keeping her a few days.

Is that better?

Yes.

Your burns are mostly...

I'm sorry.

First degree.

Though you may develop some blistering later on. I can't wait.

Frankly, I wouldn't mind keeping you overnight for observation.

You did take in as much smoke as your mother. Is that more?

Yeah.

Maybe.

I'm going to see you soon, okay?

Okay.

How's he doing?

He's fine.

Did you get his name?

My son barely talked at that age, much less what this poor kid's been through.

Child services better find your father.

Yes, there is one.

Dr. Kimbrough to OR3.

Dr. Kimbrough to OR3.

Fire's up?

Just about.

Billy took a fall.

Better crack a fall. I should have your luck, Bosco. Yeah, right.

It's keeping you up, right?

Could have had it, Jimmy.

What?

The kid's mom.

I had her.

I was this close.

You could have had her.

If you hadn't pulled me out of the fire, you'd be dead.

Did you see where it started?

Happened too fast.

How fast?

Until that last flashover.

Two minutes? Three?

Seems like less than that.

Whoever it is, sure seems to know what he's doing.

What are you saying? Somebody said it?

Fires don't burn like that on their own.

I mean, that much fire moving that fast? Second one like in a week?

An arsonist.

Yep. Just saying, maybe.

I'm right. Sure would like to get my hands on that son of a bitch.

Hey, is Sergeant Reyes around?

Sergeant Reyes is a nomad.

Oh.

Well, Sergeant Cruz, my name's Boscarelli. I worked up here a couple

Sergeant Reyes.

Congratulations.

Listen, there was a fire last night in Arson.

I was there. I was in it. We almost got trapped inside. People died.

Anyway, I saw the guy.

I can find him.

Bob and Arson handled that.

Sergeant Reyes said ACU could solve anything.

I thought maybe we could look into it, too.

Wait.

Sergeant, I'd like to work up here for a little while.

I need the freedom.

You guys make your own hours, and you have access to places I can't get to in

uniform.

You're going to piss people off.

I'll try to keep it off you.

No one chews out my people but me.

So it's all right?

There's a fire starter fire in the box. You can look at it.

Don't thank me yet. I am not God up here.

I still gotta get approval from my boss.

Oh, and it was, uh, one time.

What? You worked up here for Reyes one time. One tour.

Not a couple of times.

Don't lie to me again.

So I put in four hours of OT. Don't hit the sheets until almost five. And I

can't kick his beer can across my floor?

All right, all right.

Shouldn't be much longer. Keep your voice down.

All the guy does is sleep day and night.

And what happened to him happened to you? You do the same thing, man. I got

kinds of sympathy, but, uh, you know.

What if I want to bring a girl home? When was the last time you did that?

The other night.

The, uh, witches with the rack at Rupert's?

Did you see the eye contact I was getting?

Eye contact, right. Yeah, man.

I wasn't even sitting at her table.

And from that, you got her up here?

I could have.

Is that right?

Yeah. Until I remember the big depressed cop sleeping on her couch. You know,

man, if that isn't a mood killer, I don't know what it is. All right, all

Look, I appreciate it. I appreciate it.

It's just, I think he's back on his feet.

He should go back to work. He will. As soon as the department counselor clears

him, he will.

I hope.

Anything yet?

No. I'm not done looking.

Bosco.

What the hell are you doing here? You're just in the fire.

I went to the hospital to look for you.

Faith Yolk is Sergeant Cruz.

How you doing?

Sergeant, what do you think? You think she'd be working like this?

I met his mother.

Did you see my mother? Yeah.

She was awake.

She was really upset with you, you know. She thought that she lost you.

Lieutenant gave you two days, Pasquale.

What if that's not enough?

Not my problem.

Can Yocas help me then?

Excuse me?

Look, I can't do this alone.

I got three operations running right now, okay? I can't spend any time with

two. Look, Sergeant, this guy killed people last night.

All right? He could have killed a lot more.

Let us try and stop him.

Arson conferences, four cities in six days.

And you'll hear about last night's fire.

So you were there?

Yeah.

Up close.

A little too close, apparently.

There's a report already?

Fire that big with fatalities? There really is not soon enough.

Then you know it was arson?

Until I get a look at the scene, I don't know anything.

Listen, I want to find this jag off.

Yeah, he thinks he saw the guy hanging out in the crowd afterwards.

I didn't see him in any of our books, but I'll know him.

Believe me, I'll know him if I see him again.

Okay.

So, what's our next move?

He's a little anxious.

Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is not like chasing a purse snatch.

Arson is one of the most difficult crimes to prove. There's not much

Left behind to fire that hot.

Well, you know, there was another fire last week, and it was a supermarket,

In Brooklyn, yeah.

Two fires in separate boroughs does not an arson spree make.

Look, unless my shovel and I dig up an actual incendiary device at the scene,

there's not going to be much to build a case on. Can we come along?

I've got a good crew of my own.

I don't need your help directly. If you should stumble across this guy that you

saw, then by all means, you let us know, huh?

You will.

He all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

He's gonna be fine.

So, you're, uh... You're out of here tonight, huh?

Yeah.

Kind of worried what happens when these painkillers wear off, though. Yeah.

They'll send you home with a few.

It's real nice here to stop by.

Oh, yeah. Well, we always check up on good people.

Your girlfriend was really a big help to us. Yeah.

Joy's great, huh?

Joy?

Joy. Right.

Yeah. Can you tell her I said thanks?

She'll be here later to help me check out, if you want to tell her yourself.

Yeah, well, maybe.

Yeah.

Okay. Take care of yourself.

Thanks.

Well, maybe.

What?

You were so snaking that chick.

What chick? I was talking to a patient.

Yeah, my patient. On the off chance you just might run into his girlfriend.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, you would think that.

Now, I saw the way you were looking at her. And here you are, snaking her.

out from under the nose of an injured man.

And she's half your age. My hat's off to you, bad boy. I'm not snaking anybody,

okay? I know. Don't get defensive. I think it's great. It's not great, okay?

it's not true. It's just not true. Oh, okay. Fine. Well, I guess we'll find out

when she's here tonight, huh?

Huh.

Beautiful day.

So, how we doing?

Can I ask you a question, sir? Sure.

What do you want from me?

What is it now?

You know I don't want to be here, right? I like you, Ty, and I'm not about to

let you waste your potential.

Well, I'm flattered that you like me, sir. You're my driver. Drive.

When do I stop being your driver? When I decide what the hell else to do with

you, all right?

Drive.

Yes, sir.

Did you dehydrate it?

The doctor said drink a lot of water. I'm following orders, that's all.

Turn

the

car around. What? That guy, right there. Blue shirt.

Excuse me. Police.

Stay where you are. What? I need to ask you a couple of questions, okay?

Get up against the wall. Get up against the wall.

It's not him.

Wrong guy.

Did you see him? Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

What's up with your car? It's just that we're looking for somebody who matches

your description.

Why don't you just get the hell out of here before we take you in?

Good

morning,

Chief Hancock.

Hey, what do we got?

Ty?

Ty Davis?

Hey!

How you been?

Well, not as good as you, right?

Driving the man.

That is what's up.

Yeah.

Hey, listen.

Can you give me a solid?

If I can, yeah.

All right.

Look, I've been trying to get my gold seal for a while now.

And I was wondering if you could even put a good word for me.

Hey,

my record stands for itself. It's just, hey, it's all about who you know, isn't

it? Yeah, it's just, I don't...

I don't feel comfortable asking this guy to let me say this.

It's a complicated situation.

Oh, yeah.

I bet it is. It is. It's got nothing to do with you. It's just me and him.

Okay. I hear you. It's cool.

It's cool.

Driving cheap, Daisy. What?

Moe, what'd you say?

No, it's nothing.

You sure you got nothing to say to my face?

It's not about me.

It's about him and you.

It's all good.

You know what we need?

I know what you need.

We need to know this guy.

Like a psychological profile.

You know, what makes him tick.

Where would he hang out?

Bosco, look at you.

It looks worse than it is.

You need to stop it.

You need to go home.

No.

Bosco.

Someone here to see you.

Hey, Faith.

Bosco is the father of a little boy.

Okay.

Oh, Connie.

I came down the firehouse, you know, to thank them for saving my little guy.

But the fireman I talked to said it was you.

Is that what he said?

Anyway, Paul is okay.

He's asleep outside in the car with my mom now.

I just... I want to say thanks.

That's all.

It wasn't me.

What? It was your wife.

She saved him.

I was there, but, um, she's the one who got him out.

Cindy did?

I never saw anything like it.

She was great.

Let me do this.

What? You go home and I'll stay on this.

You saw that?

You know I'm not going home.

A male, mid -50s with chest pains, pulse of 70, BP 150 over 90.

Here's your chance.

Okay. Let's get up there.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

Oh, come on, Doc. Don't be a killjoy.

Not when sex is at stake.

Play the hero card. Forget the boyfriend.

Copy? The hero card?

Listen to me. Even if what you think about me is true, you are the last

would go up there with.

Come on.

Excuse me.

You're Monty, right?

Yeah. It's Joy, right? It's Joy.

Uh, Leo told me that you stopped by to check on him.

I'm Carlos. I was the one who actually worked on your, uh... Leo.

I can't get over how nice you guys are.

I don't know. I mean, we, um... You know... It's part of the job, really.

Yeah.

Um... That's my part. Yeah.

Lucky to have you.

Look,

I, um...

I saw in the paper today about that little boy's mother in the fire.

I had a feeling last night you weren't telling me the truth about her.

Well, you know, when the night was hard enough, well, you need to hear that too.

Well, I thought about it all day.

You protected me that way. And then when I get here, Leo said that you stopped

by to see me. I just... Look, I just think that you're noble. That's all in

you do and how you do it.

It's, uh, good to know that there are guys like you still in the world.

Well, thank you.

You take care, okay? Oh, you take care. Okay. No, no.

I'll, uh, I'll see you.

She's throwing herself at you, sneaking her phone over. Would you get off my

back? Come on, just... All right.

Joy? That's it, bad boy. Go to the queue.

Um... Listen, I...

I appreciate what you said back there, which is why I got to be honest with

I didn't exactly go up there to check on your boyfriend today.

Only reason I went up there was because I was hoping to see you again.

I mean, listen, maybe it's just me. I mean, it was probably just me. But, you

know, with everything that was going on around us last night, I kind of felt

like we connected, you know.

And that's why I went up there. I'm glad your boyfriend's okay and everything,

but, you know, if you and him don't ever work out, I

was thinking that maybe I'd like to get to know you better.

Thank you. That is so... You know, I... Leon, I really should get back

up there. Sure, sure. You got to go.

No, no, no. It's completely understandable why I... You so blew

Hey. What are you doing here?

You're helping Doug Maple out?

He said you should stop by his office to sign up.

Firemark, okay?

He comes out, everyone wants to be a fireman. Nah, they don't. You look

terrible.

Where's your mom?

Good, I guess.

Hey!

Still on your feet?

Oh, we catch this guy, yeah.

Did you find his device?

No.

Burn pattern's pretty telling.

One of ours, it was the chip aisle.

There it is.

Yeah.

I'll catch you guys later.

I almost forgot about it.

What? My mom. I didn't call to see how she was doing.

Look at what I got here, Mommy.

Butternut toffee.

Come on, who's your son?

Who's your buddy?

Come on, Ma.

How can you be mad at me?

Oh, yeah.

Why should I care about you? I'm just your mother.

Go ahead, Faith.

Tell him what it's like.

Tell him what it's like to be a mother.

I'm sorry, Rose. You know, he doesn't listen to me either.

I'm going to go get a soda.

I'm sorry I scared you.

Any other mother would be proud, Gina.

Proud?

To watch you risk your life like that?

Did you ever once think of me when you went rushing back in there?

How did this get to be about you?

What good am I living if you're dead?

You're running into fires, dodging bullets for a living.

Well, you drink because of me?

You know what?

I don't even know why I try anymore.

Maurice.

How's the little boy?

He's with his father.

Okay, so I'm going to get the faces. I want you guys to get the license plates,

ask questions.

Let's go.

Pretty cool, huh?

Fire?

Like it?

Yeah, I guess so.

Makes you feel good inside, huh?

Right down to that little tiny job from yours.

Where you going?

Huh? Where you going?

You know what you did?

You know what you did?

Huh?

Show me your hand.

I didn't do anything.

Way to go, boss. There you go.

C .T.

It's weird, you know, watching the whole thing unravel in front of my eyes.

Would you just drop it already?

It's like everything around you was in slow motion while you were completely

rolling it at regular speed.

The only reason I came up here was to see you.

Okay, enough, right? I mean, look, we're not going to spend the entire shift

analyzing this like it was a sports clip. It was educational, at least. I

now more than ever.

Honesty kills.

You think so?

Yeah.

How's it going?

How you doing?

Hey, Carlos.

So, what, are you here to see him?

Okay, well, I'll just be restocking the bus then. You never know how many lives

we're going to save today.

Yeah, excuse me.

I want to work on a med bag.

What are you doing here?

Well, I never got your number, so...

I never got yours. I was under the impression that what I said kind of

you off.

Yeah, well, it did surprise me a little bit.

Well, that makes two of us.

I hadn't realized it was mutual.

It was.

Okay.

What about Leo?

Yeah, I like Leo, but it's not like we married or anything.

So what I said was okay.

Well, if you hadn't said it, I probably would have just let it go, but... Yeah,

it sure felt like to me, too, that we connected that night.

So, uh... So, yeah, yeah, so... So, we should get together, right? Yeah,

yeah, okay.

When?

Um... Tonight?

Okay.

Well, I'm off at 11.

That's great. That's good.

Uh -huh.

You know what? I don't have a pen.

Oh, well, I have a really good memory.

Two, three, one.

And I'll call you later.

I know nothing. You rule.

S -A -F -1 -1 -3. Late model Explorer.

Got it. Next.

A -C -X -7 -0 -1 -0.

It looks like a Buick.

What's that?

There was a traffic camera in the intersection outside the supermarket, so

were just going through some stuff, seeing if maybe a fourth car was at the

scene. Good.

You're going to need something.

The evidence text didn't find anything in this home or car.

All clean.

Plus, he claims you're a pervert.

What?

Did you ask him about his Johnson?

I asked him about his little tiny Johnson.

I should have ripped it off and told him. He'd have to handle that complaint.

I guess it'd be theft.

Penny Larson.

ACX7012.

Yelkish?

Come in.

He's not going to believe this.

You've got to be kidding me.

Sergeant Cruz, you've got to check this out.

Excuse me.

Do you mind?

The red car,

is it yours?

Yeah, why?

I like blue, you know.

Hey, we need to talk, Dougie.

I didn't know my name.

I know a lot about you. Let me see your hands.

What? I didn't do anything, man.

Well, I wasn't trying to hurt anybody.

Hurt?

People are dead.

Yeah, well...

Yeah, well?

You don't care?

More than he'll ever know. Who, your dad?

Give me a break.

All he pays attention to is fire.

And maybe now he'll start paying attention to me.

Yeah, poor you.

You whiny little bitch.

I know fire.

I know more than any of them.

Who's them?

My brothers.

Both firemen.

His favorites.

I didn't even pass the test.

So you burn people up?

This is between me and my dad.

You selfish little... Rascal, what the hell is going on?

Why don't you ask him?

Dad... Not a word, Dougie.

I've got a lawyer on the way over. We'll straighten this out.

Dad... Not a word!

This is a mistake.

So what the hell does this prove?

97 Taurus parked outside the second fire a half hour before it started.

Car's registered in the name of Doug Maple Jr.

Wait a minute.

That's wrong.

First of all, I'm Junior.

The car's registered to me. It's my car.

Sir, the date of birth?

That's a mistake. It's a mix -up.

They do it all the time.

It's my car. I'm the one you want to talk to.

You're actually willing to take the fall for your kid?

Dougie was out of town.

You've been out of town.

You were at all those arson conferences.

These pictures don't prove anything.

Last night's fire.

We read his card number two.

The first one, he's already confessed her.

So there's really no point in putting yourself through this.

Hey. Hey.

You're gone already.

No change at the station anymore?

Nope. Hancock has me picking him up at his front door.

Somebody's front door.

That Nancy girl.

This detail sucks, man. It looks I'm getting the comments. It's like I'm not

even a cop anymore.

Hang in there, baby.

Yeah.

You got that counselor again today?

Later. It's going good.

Now hurry back to work, all right, man?

Oh, yeah.

What would possess a guy to fall on his sword like that?

I mean, he didn't even hesitate.

He's a parent, and that's what you do.

Come on.

Really?

You'd cover for your kid like that?

If it was Emily?

Or Charlie?

I'd kill them both first.

I'm serious, Faith.

I'm asking.

When Emily was born, I realized something about my own parents.

For all their insanity and their bitching and their nagging, all they

wanted for me was a life without pain.

Good luck.

It was up to me.

My kids would never cry.

They'd never be embarrassed or humiliated or disappointed.

They'd never get hurt.

That's how much you love them.

You want to put them in a bubble for safekeeping.

Some place where there's no psychos, there's no drugs, there's no danger.

No life.

I didn't say it was rational.

Stranger than your sympathy And this is my apology

I'm killing myself from the inside out. And all my fears have pushed you out.

And I wish for things that I don't need.

All I wanted.

And what I chase won't set me free.

It's all I wanted.

And I get scared, but I'm not crawling on my knees.

Oh, yeah.

Everything's all wrong, yeah.

Everything's all wrong, yeah.

Where the hell did I think I was?

And your sympathy Take these things so I don't feel I'm killing

myself from the inside out And now my head's been filled with doubt

And it's hard to leave the life you choose All

out and And all your luck's run out on you

All out and

And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true.

Oh, yeah.

It's easy to forget, yeah.

And you choke on the regrets, yeah.

Who the hell did I think I was?

I'm sorry, love.

I'm sorry.

Don't you die before me.

of sympathy.
