Previously on Third Watch. She never said anything to you about being

And I really don't believe that he would ever harm anyone like this.

I don't care that you're older than me. I do.

You or your paramedics have to say, Sir, do you realize you're in grave danger

of dying? I need you to tell her who told you to hurt Miguel White.

Thank you.

You heard that? Every word.

Did he really give you money?

Just between you and me, is it true?

Completely true.

Just calm down. I can't understand you. He has a gun?

Don't open the door.

Why do those ships feel like they're never going to end?

That's funny.

Time to go in?

We've got like 32 minutes. What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

You're still smoking.

I am?

Yeah.

It's your getting some smirk. I don't have a getting some smirk.

Who is it?

Birdberry Girl?

Tori? Mm -hmm.

Yeah. I guess I was thinking about Tori.

Let's get something to eat.

I'm just kind of late. It'll help the time to pass.

Doesn't this shift feel like it's never going to end?

Can't you realize, Davis?

Hi.

We going back out?

You get a flu shot this time?

No, sir, I haven't.

Same with the government giving out free shots. Oh, you'd rather pay for them?

No, I bet those Tuskegee guys thought they were getting a good deal.

The pilots?

No, the... Forget it.

I don't need you out, too.

You think Philly's going to come off sick report tomorrow? I don't know. I

it's pretty bad.

Hold on. My head went all the way up.

I got a voice in my head.

I need you.

My baby calls. I need you here. I'll talk to you.

Why?

I'll let you get another drink. Yeah.

Over here, son.

Are you serious?

You're not going to spank me, are you, Louie?

Hey!

No, guys, come on.

We just can't stop it. Yeah. Hey, come on. Hey, so he's buying.

Oh, no.

Problem.

You got to shut him up.

Yeah.

Sorry. Sorry.

Where are you?

I drank all of this. Five nights.

$300? Does this include the patrolman's discount?

It's the third drink I've been buying you back.

I don't have 300 bucks.

Sully, didn't I tell you? Didn't I say don't screw me around here? Look, I

supposed to run anybody a day.

Look, I got 60 bucks.

All right, take it.

On Friday, get my paycheck.

And I'll be in here to square it, all right?

You know so.

You got a new place, right?

Why don't you stay home and relax a bit?

You can't sit here forever.

She wouldn't want that.

She's not here, is she?

I guess not.

My mistake.

But you're cut off until you settle this tab.

You're damn right it's your mistake.

Slow down, sir. Is the officer in uniform or plainclothes?

Right. Stay on the line.

In the 5 -5 precinct, we have a 10 -13.

10 -13 at 69th and Chereau. Anonymous call. The state's plainclothes officer

struggling with two males at the location.

Unit, respond.

5 -5, David is rolling.

Come on, let's go.

Come

on,

let's

go. We have an abandoned vehicle at the entrance to the park. Spread out. Set up

a perimeter.

Nobody in or out.

Come on. Spread out. Let's check out the whole park. You guys go that way.

Jokic, Pascoe, David, straight ahead.

You guys over that. Bye -bye, Lieutenant Central.

Ask Dr. Henry to cover the north side of the park and get me ESU, aviation, and

canine here, Central.

Copy that. All units to be notified.

Negative, Lieutenant.

We are not receiving any further calls into the 9 -11 regarding this concert.

Bye, Lieutenant Central.

Check with Street Prime and have them do a rundown of all their people.

10 -4 -5, Lieutenant. Checking down.

10 -4 -5, Lieutenant.

No reports yet. We're still looking.

We're still searching.

Well, we don't even know what it is, right?

We have all your people down before us. Yeah, they were all at the house in a

briefing.

We'll look through the car to find them to help us.

Hey!

Look. You okay?

Yeah. What's going on? I called a couple times.

Yeah, I know.

I've had a lot going on.

Great. Listen, I was hoping that, you know... That might happen, okay?

It didn't mean anything. So just don't get all clingy on me, okay? I can't take

it right now. Clingy? I just want to get back on anti -crime.

Well, we don't need anyone.

Okay.

Hey. Boss, would you want to run these plates and see what unit the car belongs

to? Sure.

All right.

I need to stop when it's out here.

Oh, it was a problem. You took the plug. Well, now we use it.

Relax. I'm just going to run these plates.

When did the RMPs get CD players, huh?

Well, I didn't.

No police parking placard either?

No reports?

When's the last time you saw an RMP didn't have 30 reports stuffed under the

seat, huh?

No, never.

Lieutenant Weston.

I don't think there's one of our cars.

What? Yeah, it's got a stereo system with a PD player, no parking bracket,

this chair looks cheap even by city standards.

Anything back on that plate yet? It's a car stolen from some couple in Queens.

It's not even a real police car.

Yeah, this is all bogus. All right,

10 -4 Central.

Call off the search. Have all units resume regular patrol.

Copy that. I want this car dusted, searched, and impounded.

Some kind of joke?

Get 40 cops out here for nothing?

Oh, I'm guessing it's not for nothing.

5 -5, Sergeant Central. Are you holding any jobs at the 5 -5?

Wow.

Cruz was right.

She's a genius.

5 -5, David and Central.

We have a confirmed break -in at this location.

Send another unit. And Sergeant.

I'm never going home.

Joy.

Joy, look what I got.

May I help you?

Is, uh... Is Joy... She's in the bathroom.

Right, and you are... The man who pays the rent around here.

Okay, and that would make you... Her father.

Her father?

Right, that would make you her father.

I thought that we might make

cocoa.

They cleaned this place out.

Well, they had plenty of time.

Yeah, they played us real good.

Jacket was an interesting touch.

Can't get those just anywhere.

What, today? Everywhere you look, someone's got an NYPD patch.

My place in an hour.

What?

So what does she have you doing now?

What? Well, Trisha got you on some assignment. She's going to leave me

here looking like a rookie.

Are we done here?

Yeah. Let's go.

The desk notified the owner he's coming in from Jersey.

Here comes the squad.

G .O .D.? Morris.

Ha ha.

Look at you. I think I'm going to hook the brother up.

I can't push my paperwork too fast.

All right.

Well, you deserve it.

I'm sorry I didn't give you more props. Don't worry about it.

How long before he gives you your gold shield?

I'd rather do it on my own.

Try it that way.

Don't discount the value of a little help.

But if you've got to do it, keep your tongue in council.

All right.

It's a little late for a visit, isn't it?

It's only 11.

But you have class tomorrow, baby. I know my schedule.

You a Columbia dude?

No, no, he's not.

What, he can't answer for himself?

I'm a paramedic. Really?

Must be fascinating.

Listen, I'm sorry for stopping by so late, but I was in the neighborhood.

How'd you get in downstairs?

Someone was coming out. How'd they know you weren't a burglar or a pervert going

after some little girl? Daddy!

Can I have a second alone?

Sure.

Nice to meet you, Monty.

Yes, sir.

Would you like me to start the cocoa hunt?

No, no. Thank you.

Daddy. Okay, baby.

Look, I am so sorry, but my daddy had an early meeting tomorrow and he went to

spend the night in the city.

No, no, no. You don't have to explain.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you later.

I'll just, I'll see you later.

Ring our

love.

There you go.

We got it.

So we'd already been there like four times, right? Because it was a bunch of

gangbangers hanging out in a suit, blasting a boombox.

Right. But finally, I just took the batteries. Remember, boss?

Yeah, I remember. So later on that night, we get a domestic at the same

apartment building. So we go back. There's no lights in the hallway.

We got to climb up five flights of steps.

But the door to the apartment is completely open. Right. So we go in. We

barely see anything. But you know, like when you're in a room and you can feel

that somebody else is there?

Yeah. All of a sudden, we hear this voice. I want my batteries back.

They were going to drop us for batteries. Unbelievable.

So I flew out of there like a bat out of hell. I'm 10 -13.

10 -13 into my radio, right? These guys are right behind me.

I don't even know if I gave the right address.

And I'll tell you something. When you're responding to a 10 -13, you know it's

only a second to get there.

When you're the one that's calling for help, it feels like forever.

Have you ever had to call for one?

Oh, no, not when I was fine with anybody, no. Not good, right, boss?

Hello?

Anybody home?

What? Where you been?

Yeah.

No calls in a few minutes.

What's with him? I don't know.

He's got this new girlfriend. I think it's starting to melt his brain.

Hey.

Hey.

We're going when I woke up. Yeah, I ran out of money.

You guys want to detail today?

Detail? Some scale played the entire pre -seat last night.

That doesn't bother you? No, of course. I mean, you guys need help getting them.

We're going to lay on any place you can possibly get rid of a hot fur.

It's easy for us in a uniform. I really want to get back on the team. Well, the

job ought to be around me.

Does it matter?

Talk about it later. Come on, boys. Roll call.

I'm coming.

Hey. Doctor, good day off. You don't need to rush.

Thanks.

Kim.

It went okay.

Just okay?

Well, it's hard to tell. I mean, there weren't a lot of friendly faces.

That's the way review boards are.

Well, whatever's going to happen is going to happen.

I told him I don't believe he did it.

You did?

Is that true?

I told you I wasn't going to lie.

Thanks.

You're riding with Taylor tonight.

I don't think Doc is ever taking anything off. Yeah, it must be something

special.

Hey. Hi. Come on in.

Are you ready?

Dinner's not for two hours.

Well, then why am I here?

I thought you could use some relaxation before the big meal.

Come on, Joy. Come on. No, you come on.

Are you crazy?

What's the matter with you?

How old is your father?

What? How old is he?

42, 43.

Oh, my God.

Come on, he just wants to get to know you, that's all.

Joy, your parents are my age, sort of. Who cares about your age?

My daddy should be more afraid of me going out with a 21 -year -old who's got

three girlfriends and is high on X half the time. Well, with my luck, I'll meet

your mom and realize I dated her in high school. Yeah, well, she grew up in

Canada.

Really?

Relax.

Okay.

All right, all right. I'm relaxed.

I'm fine.

Yes, you are.

You are.

Hey, how's business, Spiro?

Staying clean, food.

Didn't ask about that.

My books are up to date.

How long I known you, Spiro?

A while. How long? Three years, two months. Right, right.

Now, you and I both know your books are bogus. Come on, Cruz.

But how did you like, for the first time, three years and two months to be

friend?

What I got to do?

Something got taken last night.

What in particular got taken?

I slept wrong last night.

I'd like to take it easy today, if you don't mind.

Hey.

I want to talk to this guy.

I told you I wanted to take it easy. I need to go straight out and pick.

Excuse me, sir.

How you doing?

Did you grab some wall?

What'd I do?

Number one, you're drinking in public. Number two, we're about to find out. Put

your hands on the wall.

Spread your legs.

What you got?

David.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh. What is this?

Man, y 'all going to lock me up for a dime bag?

Unless you can give me something else.

Like a gun?

Man, I ain't got no gun, man.

I bet you know someone who does.

David. What?

I need to talk to you.

Don't move.

What?

Why the hell are you looking for a gun?

It's called police work. Put your hands on the wall. Turn around.

You just picked this mope out of the blue?

He's holding it.

How are you going to justify the search?

If I can get somebody with a gun off him, there won't be a search of justice

him.

We're looking for guns.

Like I said, it's police work.

What the hell is

this guy's problem?

It's a red light. What the hell is your problem? Wait, I stopped.

You've been on another planet for days.

I have not.

All right.

Sorry.

I said, Tori.

I'll stay more focused.

I've never seen you so gaga over a girl before. What, are you in love with this

girl?

I don't know.

Maybe. What?

I said, maybe.

God. Maybe.

What? I'm happy for you. I think you deserve something like that.

Yeah? Yeah, I do.

Man, I was just walking down the street minding my own damn business. Well, give

me someone else to look at.

I know this guy Paco. I know Paco, yeah.

He'll be at 150 King tonight. He's always packing. He still live on 117th?

Like I said, he'll be at that corner tonight.

But man, if he found out I told you. We got a little secret.

We're getting a 1013.

It's four blocks from here.

Yo,

you can't let me out right here, man.

People are going to think I'm snitching or something, man. Come on, man.

Oh, man.

How are you going to leave me right here, man?

It's another cop.

We're going, Bosco.

You can't get.

You sure missing work like this is okay?

Well, I had some time off coming.

They're covering for me on the street. That's good. Wouldn't want you to get in

any trouble with your superiors.

Actually, I'm the supervisor.

This is good steak. Yeah, mine too. I thought you'd go for the veal.

As I get older, steak becomes harder to digest.

You find that?

How's the market, Daddy?

Oh, well, people are starting to weigh back in, baby.

How about you? You invest?

No, no, not really.

You do a little.

Well, some bonds.

You know, most of our people are afraid of the market.

Too bad stuffing Uncle Sam into a mattress won't bring you a return.

So how long have you been on Wall Street?

Oh, a long time.

Came straight out of Wharton.

How about you?

You go to school?

Well, two years of city college and got into EMS and that was that.

School's not for everybody, Dad.

But it's for you, right?

Yes, of course.

So you've always wanted to be a paramedic?

Well... He wanted to play bass in a funk band.

A funk band?

Well, I was never really that good. Yeah, but you wanted to do it.

Shea Stadium, 78, kind of changed my life.

Oh, my God.

Tear the roof off the mother tour. Have front row seats.

George Clinton is the man. Chocolate -covered, freaky, and half -performing.

not attempt to adjust your radio.

Hey, Chess, we're going to eat tonight?

It's a little bit longer.

We've been here over an hour.

Paco's boy's right there. Let's wait and see if he drops by. Why?

You heard what Tony said?

Tony wanted out of the car.

I think he's being straight with me.

Why don't we go to Paco's house? Because I want to get him on the street, all

right?

What's with the super cop routine all of a sudden? Maybe it's not all of a

sudden.

Meaning what exactly?

Maybe I changed while you were out sick for a week and a half. Oh, now you got a

problem with me being sick? No, I got a problem covering for you while you're on

a bender.

I had the flu.

Whatever.

I was sick.

I'm a super cop. Why don't we just leave it at that?

Because maybe I don't want to be involved in this gun thing.

Then ask the boss for a new partner, all right?

Let me get this. Oh, no, no, no. I got it. You sure? I just want to

say...

I'm real glad we could do this. Any Funkadelic fan is a friend of mine. I'm

going to send you that album. And you do that.

Listen, I just want to say that I meant no disrespect the other night. I think

your daughter's great.

And listen, get this out of the system, fam.

And move on.

I got a lot of friends just like you.

Old cats trying to run game on young girls.

Because they don't want to deal with real women their own age.

Now, Joy is real headstrong, and that's my fault. I spoiled her.

And she's going to do what she wants to do.

But I will hurt you if I see her future ruined by some low -level municipal

employee with a smooth line.

Listen, if you believe an old cat with a smooth line can play your daughter, you

don't know what happens as well as you think you do.

You funky guys ready?

Yeah, I'm ready. This is a real pleasure, Pumpkin.

We've got to do it again.

Right, Mont?

Absolutely.

My contract with the city says that I get a meal period. You're going to get

your damn meal, so... Hold up. There he is.

Is that him?

That's him.

I'm going to put the back up. No. No, I don't want anybody stealing his collar.

Stealing?

I don't care how many firsters get ripped off.

It's never worth taking a chance with another cop's safety.

The idea was there were enough cars going, Faith.

When we turned the corner, how many were there? 10, 15?

They don't know there's enough until we get there.

Sergeant Cruz says the biggest mistake cops make is we over -respond.

We rush so fast to get to something, we don't stop and think about the

situation.

She's a regular responsive victim.

She knows what she's doing out here.

Over -responding.

I'd like to see how she feels when it's her ass that's getting kicked.

This is a 5 -5, 10 -13, 101 in green.

Female caller states officer stabbed at this location.

Caller hung up. Unit to respond.

5 -5, David's four blocks away.

Hey, Paco.

That's far enough.

Turn around and guide that pole.

We've got another 13.

I know.

You got something to eat.

Go on, beat it.

Take a hike.

Free pass between us and Paco.

Hey, you got a gun, Paco. That makes me a little nervous.

Nervous looking good. So don't do anything too fast. Just turn around,

your legs, put your hands on the pole.

Don't get stupid, man. Turn around.

David.

I got it, though.

David.

I got it.

Paco, grab some more, man. Come on,

play the game.

I'm taking you to the

hospital.

5 -5, Crime Sergeant to Center. We're on scene 101 and Green.

There's nothing here.

Unfounded. 10 -4, units responding to the 10 -13 at 101 and Green.

Unfounded for 5, Crime Sergeant.

Sergeant. Yeah.

Don't you think we should at least check the building?

What? The call was on the street. Well, don't you think you made a pretty quick

decision? Are you questioning that officer?

Yeah, I guess I am.

I finally got an attitude problem.

Sorry. I'll talk to her.

Party, they're over here.

He's a police officer from the 5th Precinct, and my ex -husband just

him. Bosco, call for a bus. 55 David to Central. We need a bus forthwith at 333

Green. We have an off -duty police officer stabbed in the chest.

I'm all right, Davis. Just wait outside.

You got parts in the chest. All right, have a seat.

I'm all right.

We're going to get a round of vitals, then take that shirt off him.

Wait outside, all right? Sully, lay down for us, all right? Just go outside.

Come on, man.

She's got to take the shirt off him, though.

Relax. No.

Relax.

I know, Sully.

All right, all right, all right. Davis.

So you got punched?

Don't touch it.

Approximately 30 -year -old male stabbed wound to the upper right chest. He's

falling 60 pounds. Sinus tap 144.

Parotid pulse weakens. Ready, rest, 32.

Thank you.

I'll start a report.

Faith. Don't. I wish I had been wrong.

He's been a fit?

That's what the girlfriend says. The ex -husband stabbed him.

Where's his ex?

Who knows? In the wind, I guess.

You got a description, car info?

It was a unit still on the scene with the girlfriend.

You make me sick.

Excuse me?

You're looking for a head? I mean, that's all this is to you?

I'm the anti -crime sergeant. We lock people up.

That is our job.

Yeah. Yeah, I've seen you do your job up close.

Very impressive.

She's up to that.

You don't walk away from me.

You're not my sergeant. I say anything about being a sergeant. All right, you

know what? Let me talk to her, Sarge. I want you to watch the door.

What?

What, are you going to beat me up now?

What are you both, crazy? I said watch the door. Look, we're in the middle of a

hospital. Yeah, no witnesses.

I might make some sort of dying declaration.

Really?

You sure?

Mm -hmm.

We're not finished.

I'm shaking.

You're hero.

What's up?

Get that out.

I said to put them here.

Come around back with the purse.

You buy and sell?

I think so.

What do you want me to do?

Nothing.

You owe me for this one, Cruz.

Me and Officer Dave were overlooking all your little swag you got hanging around

here today.

No, I think we're pretty much even.

Hey. Hey.

Damn, some ribs are pretty bad.

Yeah.

They didn't know I had them in my pocket, did they?

No, I fell in the shower this morning.

All right.

Except before or after you slept long, so... So you're just not going

to tell me what happened?

Let me tell you, I... You remember Derek Morris?

No. Derek Morris, he's a cop. He works at Midnight's.

No. Yeah.

Yeah, I saw him last night. He got his gold shield. Thinks I put in a good word

for him with Hancock.

Did you?

No. No.

Didn't tell him that, though.

Anyway, just, you know, seeing him in his suit coming under that crime scene

tape like he was some big shot, it really just got me thinking.

I'm twice the cop that guy is.

Three times.

Is that why you've been chasing guns?

Yeah.

It's an easy felony.

I've got to keep the counts up if I'm going to earn a shield.

Yeah, we said you were more than the bag.

And I never really thought seriously about doing it. I was always pretty

riding with you, learning from you. But I don't know you anymore, man.

I tried to help you. I tried to get you to let me in, and you bid me for it. And

it's cool. I understand.

I understand.

You've been through the worst kind of hell, but you can't just.

So I can't help you if you won't let me.

But at the same time, I'm not going to stand around and just watch you go down.

I can't do it. I can't. I tried.

I'm sorry. I can't. So I got to move on.

And it's not about being more than a bag. It's not. It's about getting away

you.

Okay.

Let's put it over there.

I want that.

I told you I'd give it to you. I don't have any big bills. Well, as long as

green, it doesn't matter.

So, uh, you got any furs that I could look at for you?

I got a little.

I haven't inventoried it yet.

Well, take a look.

She's cool.

We got some stuff that you'd look really pretty in.

Oh, man. Damn, look.

These are like the real thing.

You mean not, Daddy?

Judges are going to love these.

Go down to a rest.

Call for backup.

We need backup at 101 and King.

We got that dying declaration.

Why would you think we made it up?

Tried to get in TSU, but I couldn't. I got this anti -crime thing going. It's

working pretty good for me.

But after what you did today, I don't know, man.

After what I did,

Sergeant comes after me wanting to fight and I did something wrong. She just

lost his sister.

And? Isn't that not enough for you?

Laco, she unfounded a 1013 where a police officer was bleeding to death.

know she didn't know he was there. She never bothered to look.

It was a judgment call. Why are you defending her? I'm not defending her.

hell you're not.

I mean, nobody should say anything about your little anti -crime girlfriend.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God. What?

Girlfriend.

No. You're lying.

I wouldn't lie. You already lied. All right, you know what?

Stop saying that.

I never lied to you.

Stop. Units in the 5 -5, we have a 10 -13.

10 -13 at 108 and King.

Playing close officer, struggling with male suspect.

5 -5, David, responding.

In the 5 -5 precinct, responding to that SIN 13 at 108 and King.

Female caller states plainclothes officer being dragged behind an

building at that location.

Cut through the alley.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Some sort of an affirmative action hire?

You come after me alone?

You need more than that to take me in.

High five, David. Shots fired.

Perf down. I need all units to respond to the alleyway behind this location.

Copy that 55, David.

Are you okay?

He almost pressed your windpipe. I'm going to take you in.

Yeah, you should get looked at.

Can you wait a minute?

Sure.

Officer Yoka.

Speak to you in a second.

Look, Sergeant, you really don't have to say anything about what happened in

there. This is how you fix a problem.

By yourself, without any backup. You don't run from 10 -13 to 10 -13.

You go to the floor.

Well, you must be very proud of yourself.

Before you start shooting your mouth off, why don't you read that report?

Excuse me?

Yeah. The dying declaration.

Your partner's the one who signed it.

He's the only witness.

Do you want to make something of it? He's the one I put in front of it.

It ain't gonna hurt me.

Make nice?

I asked you at the house if it was true.

And you lied to me. What?

You lied to me.

I didn't lie.

Bosco, she just told me.

You know what, Yelkis?

Crime is down in that area because of what we did.

Look here.

Look at the numbers.

Carry the numbers around with you? He ordered the hit of a 12 -year -old kid.

But... You can't do that right now.

Because I need your help.
