Original subtitles

Previously on Third Watch. One, two, three.

Why didn't you call me? I did. Honey, honey, I did.

I did call.

It's okay.

What if he would have called you bluff?

Bluff? Yeah.

You never tell a girl you're going to do something you're not prepared to do.

When was the last bad storm? Like 97?

96. 29 has been two days.

Jess. What?

I'm not going to have my best paramedic riding a mop when I need help out on the

street. I mean, how can we talk about working with Carlos? I just saw him get

the river dock a while ago in uniform.

You know, forget the bad.

Get on with the good.

Oh, okay.

Maybe that's why you guys are all drunk.

He shouldn't touch me.

You probably won't even notice your eyes.

Eric?

Officer. Where is Emily?

Emily!

We'll be right back.

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love. Or maybe for a moment he forgot

was. Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged. Whatever it was, I know it's

because we all be young.

Little Susie, she was only 12. She was given the world with every chance to

excel. Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell. She might act kind of

proud, but no respect for herself.

She finds love in all the wrong places. The same situation, just different

faces. Changed up her place since her daddy left her. Too bad he never told

she deserved much better.

It's almost gone.

All that snow is just little piles now.

Good.

Doesn't it seem like it stayed around longer when we were kids?

I don't really remember, Fred.

Well, her latest round of vitals looks strong.

Yeah, but?

But ketamine's a dangerous drug if it's improperly used. The street variety,

which is not unjust, it isn't even for humans. It's a horse tranquilizer.

Yeah, we know what it is.

Well, then, you know, there's no way of being sure of the potency or exactly how

much she took.

Well, if you're concerned about potency, how come the kid that did this to her

didn't have the same reaction?

Everyone reacts differently, okay? It's based on body weight, amount ingested.

When is she going to wake up?

We don't know.

We've done everything we can for her. The only thing left now is the weight.

But like I said, her vitals are good.

I'm gonna have a nurse remove her ventilator tube.

Okay. What about a room, then? Why are we still down here in emergency?

Uh, well, we're still working on that, Mr. Yocas, but the hospital's pretty

right now.

I gotta get back, but I'm gonna be out there if you need me.

So you think this was done to her?

What?

The boy that did this to her.

Fred, Emily's never done drugs.

How the hell would she even know how to get her hands on a horse tranquilizer?

You know what it's like to be a teenager.

Meaning what?

You know how teenagers can get into things.

Faith? I'm not drunk!

I'm not drunk!

Not this teenager.

Not Emily.

Come to the chapel, okay?

No.

Faith? Fred, I don't want to leave the room.

Just pray.

No, if I want to pray, I'll just pray here.

Chapels are comforting.

Fred, it's just a closet.

Nopple decided to call it a chapel.

If that makes you feel comforted, you knock yourself out. I'm just going to

here with Emily.

Hey. 2 -12, door's open.

Gonna go downtown today?

Yeah. They want me to make a statement on Carla.

Good. About time we got this messed over with.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

It's a bombin' over there.

Yeah, not much of the stuff coming from the other end.

Let's roll.

Oh, yep.

Is she alive?

Barely.

What is that? Crap.

Exactly.

The rest are only four.

It's a beta.

Way ahead of you.

It's not often you need this around the living.

I see the cords.

It's a crack.

It's something, Elicit.

What will these kids learn, huh?

Kids? It looks like she's 100 years old. She's probably more like 20, so... You

got an ID?

I haven't seen any.

I'm in.

Okay.

Well...

Let's uh, let's get her hooked up and see what kind of rhythm we get.

Uh -huh.

So, yeah.

Looks like math, Doc.

Yeah, great.

55 Charlie to Central, we got an OD at this location.

Show us how to escort the medics to Mercy.

Draw me some Narcan, in case there's heroin on board too, and then let's get

moving. Alrighty on it.

I'm going to make the Narcan.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, here she comes.

Miss, can you hear me?

Paramedics are going to take you to the hospital, okay?

I still can't believe people do this to themselves.

Any change?

No.

I love you, baby.

Did you call Mrs. O 'Brien?

Charlie's fine. He wants to come down here.

Absolutely not. That's what I told him.

How's she doing?

She's still asleep.

What's happening to this son of a bitch that did this to her?

He's going home.

What? Yeah, his father's signing him out right now.

The kid says your daughter took the Special K voluntarily.

No, she did not.

Until she wakes up and says, different, there's really nothing we can do.

He doesn't have any more on him. Check the car. The car's clean. We don't have

anything to hold him on.

That little bastard.

We got his address, Faith, all right?

He goes to school with them.

He's not going anywhere.

Just focus on getting your daughter better right now, okay?

We'll take care of Eric Begman when the time is right.

Let's go.

I have myself, Fred, okay? Let me know how she's doing.

Thank you.

Okay. I want this kid, Bosco. So do I.

Okay?

to have a place to start. Maybe he was forced on her.

14 -year -old girl parks in a junkyard in a snowstorm with a little Eric pretty

boy. Doesn't sound like someone who's being forced to do much of anything.

maybe the guy lied to her.

What? How do we ever get a drug problem in this country?

Kids are ODing and the adults are blaming everyone else.

This is called the house where your silly and I caught an OD with a

Well, not one of the ODs we're already here on. Nah, this is the girl from one

of those dumps on 109th. So why are you telling me?

She's got to say she doesn't want to talk to you.

You care to guess which one?

Come on in.

You're halfway there. Come on, come on.

What's she have on her?

She wouldn't tell us who sold it to her.

Probably saying she's charged.

She's not going to be charged.

Really?

Let's go to the wedding. She's always on the horn with the boss right now.

Marita, Marita. What the fuck happened?

Why the charcoal?

She's undernourished. She's hypothermic. She has an arrhythmia. Don't scratch.

Don't know for sure what she took, so I ordered a tox screen and a charcoal

slurry.

Methamphetamine. And she smoked it. You don't need the charcoal.

What, and you're sure?

I'm sure.

All right, look, no more charcoal. Keep her in the cooling blankets, and I want

a new EKG every 30 minutes. Okay.

The medics didn't ride when they did, so she might have had a heart attack.

Sarge, what's going on?

Hey,

you want to tell me who this is?

My sister.

Talk to David.

Don't forget this ever happened.

Good.

You want a suggestion?

No.

You might be better off if you let your sister take her lumps.

She gets off the hook, what's that gonna do?

Hmm?

I'm not passing judgment here.

Believe me. My brother Mikey's a cokehead himself.

I know.

Locked him up for it.

Listen to me. You give her a pass every time she gets popped.

It isn't going to help her.

Thank you, Mr. Tough Love.

Thank you very much. And you can just explain to me what putting her in jail

going to do for her. It might make her face reality.

Right.

Reality.

See, um, here's what's wrong with your little plan as it applies to my family.

Your white boy, he can still make it in this world. We have the drug record if

he goes straight.

My Latina sister?

She's got two strikes against her, and I'm not going to help her get a third.

Whatever.

Like you said, it's your family.

Mm -hmm.

What am I going to do for them?

I'm going to find whoever sold it to her, and I'm going to make sure that

never do it again.

It's quiet now.

If we're going to make a statement on this Carlos thing, we should probably go

downtown. Yeah.

Need anything from the house before we go?

Uh -oh.

What?

There's a traffic accident.

What are you doing?

Well, they may need our help.

Looks like a fender bender.

I'm going to check it out and make sure they're okay.

Kim.

Hey, SDNY, you guys all right?

Yeah, we're fine. Yeah, he stopped a little short and I just chipped his ass

Stopped short?

No, I didn't mean... Totally my fault. All right, were you wearing your

seatbelt? Yeah, set him fine.

All right, Doc, can you get me a seat collar?

What? No, he said he's all right. Well, why don't you sit down? You know,

whiplash can be a very serious injury.

Whiplash? He doesn't have whiplash. I'm sorry. Are you a doctor?

No. Well, then you aren't really qualified to make that diagnosis, now

Doc, can I please get that seat color?

Tim, can I see you over here for a second?

All right, you know what? Just try not to move, all right? Yes, ma 'am.

What are you doing?

My job.

Your job is not to ride around and look for people to take to the hospital.

Well, there's a traffic accident. I know what happened here. I will be with you

in a second, okay? I really think I should go get checked out.

What? Oh, this is just great.

I don't want to take any chances.

Do you see what you did, lady?

So, are you asking us to take you to the hospital?

I think I'm starting to feel it.

Does it look pretty bad? Is it getting worse? Why don't you try and relax?

take care of you, okay? Come sit here and let me check you out.

Which one you buy it from?

I just kept you from being locked up.

You got a debt to pay, Letty.

I didn't ask you to.

I just needed to get me over the crash.

Who'd you score from?

I want you to look at me and I want you to focus and I want you to tell me who

you scored from.

He finds out or come after me. He will not. He's going to be locked up and

you're going to be in rehab. He will not find you. I don't need rehab. It was

one step, man.

Give me that. Give me that.

Who was it?

Look at me.

Who'd you go to?

Who'd you go to? Was it Henry?

Henry P., huh?

Go feed your animal?

Chico?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh. Again, huh?

Come on, there's one here.

What is it?

Rehab.

You are not going to become a drunk. Not while you live in this house.

Your father is a failure.

He's a pitiful failure.

Years ago, when we first got married, I had dreams.

He had dreams.

He was a lot like you.

He was smart, outgoing.

Never in a million years would he have thought that he... He would end up like

this.

He gave his life to a bottle.

And he can never get it back.

And I'll never get mine back.

And I hate him for it.

And I hate him for...

Showing you all that.

And most of all, I hate myself.

For not protecting you better.

For not stopping him from showing you all that.

Fine.

It's not your fault, honey.

I have relatively good news.

Relatively? Yeah, we have a bed available upstairs.

Yeah, hold it up.

What the hell?

What can I tell you about my sister?

Come on, I need that.

And follow our plan, Chico.

So now you're going to have to give me someone to look at.

I can't.

You ready for the trip?

Please.

Why don't you give me someone?

There's not much left.

Please.

Name and address.

Name and address.

Ramon.

It's on 143rd and Riverside.

In an apartment there. Building on the corner.

Second floor, 3B.

Ma, I told you you didn't have to come down. How is she?

She'll be fine.

You know this? She will be.

How long has this been going on?

What? The drug thing.

It hasn't been going on.

This is the first time?

Yes.

Faith, don't lie to me. I've had teenagers remember.

Ma, what are you talking about?

I never did drugs.

I didn't.

Sit with my granddaughter.

Which room is he in?

Straight ahead.

Ramon.

It's on the line, son.

The guy sent me to pick up a package.

What?

My friend has a good day. He needs more products.

I don't have a package.

Open the door.

I'm cold.

Please, my love.

Shut up. Get dressed.

You don't got to wait for his permission.

This is your chance to get out of here. No arrest.

Get away from this cow, Ron.

You got ten seconds to decide.

You got a wallet?

I don't think he has anything on him.

Where's your ID, huh? Where's your ID, Jagoff?

I'll take it, man.

There you go. Promise me anything else, you take it.

Looks like you got a lot of old medicine over here.

Diet pill?

Trying to lose a few pounds, huh?

We're here for two reasons, Ramon.

Number one, you're going to tell us who you're building up this fed drink supply

for. Number two, this must be important.

You know this girl?

And I've never seen her. I'm going to make sure you see that girl.

I'm going to see her work.

I'm seeing it.

See it?

If you were one of your Jaguars, tell Matt to that little girl.

And I will come back and I will shoot them up one at a time.

No, I won't. I won't. I won't.

I won't.

I won't.

I may be?

Shh.

Why?

I may be sleeping. Oh.

Shh.

He was supposed to be home four hours ago.

What time is it?

It's 11 .30.

I told you I was going to stop with the guys.

Yeah, for one.

Mm -hmm.

That's all I had.

A really big one.

Oh, come on.

I tried to call you and tell you I was going to be late a couple times, but the

line was busy.

Busy? They turned the phone off again.

That's not fair.

Fair? Yeah, they could have given us a warning.

Fred, don't talk to me about fair, all right?

How much money did you spend?

I bought a few rounds.

Fred, we can't afford to buy a few rounds.

Hey, Ann, you want a glass of water, sweetie?

Connecticut? What's about?

What's about? How long does a run sheet take?

Well, I had too many mistakes.

I had to start over.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Is this about going downtown?

No.

Because if you don't want to go, just tell me. You don't have to manufacture

assignments.

Look, that guy could have had a neck injury. You of all people should know

serious that could be.

What? Where the hell did that come from?

Kim, you don't talk to me like that.

He requested to go to the hospital. That's what we do, Doc.

After you convinced him he was hurt.

You know what? I am so sick of everyone taking all their crap out on me.

No. Kim.

Kim. Kim, talk to me. I didn't manufacture that traffic accident. All

I'll go downtown when I'm ready to. Okay.

Can I move this cot now, please? No.

Why don't you want to go? Look, I've got a job to do, Doc. I can't just drop

everything because some pencil -pushing bureaucrat wants to talk.

Okay, so you're proving a point? What?

That's why you're going to piss them off down there so they can look hard at you

too? I don't care how they look at me. Well, you should.

I'm not the only one that's going to ask why Carlos was in the back of the bus

with that girl. You think they're going to ask you why he was on the street with

you? If they do, that's on me. Well, and if they ask me, then I'll handle it

myself too. What, you think you're the only one who can handle it? I don't get

this. All they want is your statement.

You know what I don't get is some of the unbelievable stupid decisions you've

made lately.

Wait.

much you try to hurt me.

Talk to me, Kim. Tell me what's going on.

I don't know what I'm going to say down there, Doc.

Tell the truth. I told him the truth and the cops asked me. And what good did

that do me? Carlos hates me. You're pissed at me.

Do you want me to lie, Doc?

Do you want me to tell him that I know that he didn't touch her?

And will that make all of this go away? Because I've thought about it a lot, and

I don't know if I can do that.

You didn't see anything. You didn't see anything. Tell the truth.

But you also know that that girl never called out from the back.

I mean, she never said anything to you about being molested.

I mean, did she have a chance at the hospital?

Could she have said something?

Yeah.

And say that too.

You want to tell the truth?

Tell all of it.

They said it would be okay to rub some ice on her lips.

With my mom.

I went to call your dad.

Great. You know what I keep thinking about?

Her first day of kindergarten.

I think it was harder on me than it was on her.

He stood there outside the window till she was finished.

I don't think she ever looked up.

Well, she's always been independent.

Right from the beginning.

I remember her telling me how to tie her shoes when she was like four.

She wanted the bunny ears.

I can still tie my shoes like that.

You do her so much alike.

Like oil and water.

Remember that look you both used to give me when I came home after a few too

many? Standing in the living room, your hands on your hips?

Yeah.

That happened a lot.

What?

You coming home drunk, that happened a lot.

That was a long time ago, honey.

I know.

I'm a different person.

I know, Fred.

I'm sorry for those times.

I keep trying to figure out how we got here.

Hanging by our daughter's bed while she fights off a drug overdose.

Are they gone?

How could they have known we were coming? We were being so inconspicuous

all.

Open a window.

No radios. This whole place is full.

I want to go up into the stupa.

Find out who owns this whole place. No. What the hell are we doing?

Police work. Police work?

Yeah, we're shutting down dope dealers. You got a problem with that? In case

you're not keeping score, we haven't arrested anybody yet. We're just walking

around threatening people.

These people have been threatening my community my entire life. I'm not giving

them half of what they deserve.

So this is about your community?

Yes. I live here. It's my neighborhood, not yours.

I don't care how many doors we knock down, all right?

You're not going to be able to keep all the dope in the world away from your

sister. I'm going to try.

So how far are we going to go?

When we get to Mr. Big or whatever, how far?

Because I doubt...

That you're going to be able to scare him into not selling dope in your

community.

So then what are we going to do?

Hmm?

The wing thing.

How are you holding up?

When's the last time you had some sleep? I'm fine, Ma.

You know, you should go in the lounge. You could lie down on one of those

couches. I'm here, Fred's here.

I could probably get them to bring a cot, put it right here in the room.

I don't want to lay down.

You know, I wasn't implying anything when I asked how long this had been

on.

I think you're a good mother.

Good?

I'm a great mother.

Of course you are.

This is in no way any reflection on you.

I know that.

I just thought...

Maybe that's why you didn't want to tell me what's really going on with Emily.

There's nothing really going on with Emily.

She had a crush on a boy and he made her do drugs. He made her?

Ma, Emily doesn't do drugs.

She has an experiment with drugs, okay?

And I talked to her and we know each other, okay?

I know her.

Okay.

Do you think that if she was that kind of a person that I wouldn't know that?

Do you think that if she was taking drugs that I couldn't tell?

I'm her mother. Right. I guess you would know. I guess you would know.

And I don't have any regrets.

Well, good.

And I don't hate myself for anything.

What exactly are we talking about here? Do you remember that you told me that

you hate yourself because you let me see Daddy as a drunk?

I don't hate myself.

And when my husband had a problem, I fixed it.

I didn't sit around crying about it. I never cried. You cried a lot.

Well, anyway, you seem to have turned out to spawn. Well, however I seem to

turned out has nothing to do with you.

I did this by myself.

In spite of you.

And Daddy. And Fred. I did this myself.

I think it's time for me to go.

I think that's a great idea.

What's the matter, Mom?

Would you rather that I regretted all the choices I made?

Someone should stop by the house and check on Charlie.

He shouldn't be alone right now.

Call me if there's any change. Yeah.

And I would know.

I would know if my daughter was doing drugs.

Mom.

Mommy. I'm sorry.

There's a lot of traffic going on up there, you know?

The neighbors have been complaining that they keep the music going on all night.

You didn't notice the smell coming from that apartment?

No. The man there tells me he likes to roast nuts.

That's methamphetamine.

When it's cooking, it smells like bitter almonds.

I knew that guy was no good.

What does this man look like?

He's one of them biker types, you know?

Big, maybe six feet, pumped up with a lot of tattoos.

Got a name? Well, I can give you the name that's on the leaf, but I don't

it's him.

Why? Because this guy's definitely white, and the name on the leaf is a

name. Here, there you go.

I knew it.

I knew it was no good. I got a nose for it, you know?

20 años, I'm over here. I know stuff. Verdad, verdad, yeah.

You're like Sherlock Holmes. Sarge.

Yeah. You should get a look at this.

Apartment's in your sister's name.

Cuídense, gracias.

Your daughter, he's awake.

I'm sorry, Mom.

It's okay.

Oh, it's okay, Emily.

Oh, it's okay, baby.

You really got your sister going overboard for you, huh?

What the hell is my sister doing in the hallway?

I'm busy here.

She's in the hallway.

There's nowhere else to put her, okay? As soon as her vitals stabilize, I'm

letting her go.

What about the little white girl that was in there, huh? You found a place for

her.

Are you kidding me? You don't see the difference between a 20 -year -old

who's been fighting to leave since she got here and an unconscious 14 -year

in a ketamine stupor? I think your judgment's just a little clouded,

Sergeant. Well, then that's a damn shame.

Your sister has no medical reason to be in the hospital. The reason why she's in

the hallway is because we don't have the space in the emergency room to babysit

her while she detoxes.

If you're so unhappy with the facilities, why don't you sign her out

I think you should be let go so you can get right back out there and either

finish killing yourself or grow up.

You're like a child.

Hutch and fire, and everyone keeps you from burning yourself.

Undo these restraints then, huh?

Let me go get burned, puppy.

Not like that.

Oh, then what's it like? Please tell me, because I'd really like to know, Letty.

I was doing ice.

I would tweak him really hard, and I got hooked again.

And then I was into this guy for some money, and he said he could find ways

me to work it off.

You know, ways.

You mean like hooking him?

He wanted me to work it off, but I wouldn't do that, Rita.

I wouldn't do it. So how'd you put your name on the lease for him?

He said he'd give me a pass on the money if I...

You didn't think this was important to mention to us three hours ago?

What guy?

What? Look at me.

Who was it?

Gary Barnes.

They call him Animal. He makes the ice.

He's a bad guy.

Where do I find him? I'm sorry.

You tell me where I find this guy.

There's a house in Rockaway.

I've been there. I don't have the address.

You're going to get dressed. I'm going to get you some clothes. You're going to

get dressed. You're going to take us to the house, and then I'm going to make

sure you're safe.

Grow up.

I think it's worth being right. We're driving in circles here.

It's right.

You just dropped me off at my place after I got some stuff done.

No, I'm going to take you over to my place and get you some tea.

I'm all right.

Last time you had a real meal.

Here. What?

On this block.

Are you sure?

Yeah. White house over there near the end.

Over the window.

We'll have to call Hazmat.

Sarge?

Listen to me. If they're cooking it in there, the whole damn place is

contaminated.

We should call it in.

They cooked the stuff in there in the house.

Yeah, boss, it's Cruz.

Could you call the DA for an oral application of a warrant for...

450 Rockaway Boulevard.

Yeah, I'm sitting out front with a confidential informant who relates drugs

being cooked inside right now.

Mm -hmm.

Yeah, I'm going to need hazmat in the lab as soon as possible and fire

by.

Thanks. Thanks, ma 'am.

What's happening?

It's over now, okay?

Get you better.

I'm sorry, Rita.

Okay, you have a sickness.

Gary! Letty!

Letty, no!

10 -13!

10 -13! Gary!

Gary! Gary!

Gary! Gary! Gary!

Gary! Gary!
