Previously on Third Watch. You think Philly's going to come off sick

I don't know. I hear it's pretty bad.

You're a journalist.

You could include the patrolman's discount.

14 -year -old female makes OD in anaphylactic shock.

I asked you at the house if it was true, and you lied to me.

You know what, Yelkis? Crime is down in that area because of what we did.

I understand.

You want to wash your hands of me, but you can't do that right now.

Because I need your help.

Time to get up, Charlie.

Charlie,

let's go.

Emily, I made eggs.

I'm not that hungry.

Just come and sit. Have a few bites.

Where's your brother?

We're out looking for his shoes.

Good action.

Em, I need you to come home straight away from school today because we have

appointment at 4 o 'clock.

We do?

Yeah, and I'm off from work tonight and your dad left a truck.

What kind of appointment?

Remember I told you we're going to go see that counselor.

I don't need to see another psychiatrist.

Baby, it's not a psychiatrist.

It's a drug counselor.

And it's not going to hurt you to talk.

It might even be a way for you to get out of your grounding a little early.

Really?

Well, we'll just say that it's a prerequisite if you want to apply for

Only one time.

Yeah, but, Em, you've got to give it an honest shot. You can't sit there with

your mouth shut the whole time.

Right.

All right.

Hey, you ready, Doc?

Yeah. Hey, you've got nothing to worry about, okay?

Everest is not going to go through with his disciplinary thing. He just wants to

see you sweat and do a little groveling, that's all.

Grovel? Yeah, and he's the one who...

ordered Nieto to house duty.

So he's taking it in person. Yeah.

You gotta know your place, right?

Right?

Look, you just go in there, you kiss the ring, and you'll be out of there before

you know it.

Just play the game.

Come on.

Have a seat.

It's failure to comply with department orders.

On January 27th, you allowed paramedic Carlos Nieto to write on calls, despite

an order changing his duty status to restricted.

Can't explain why.

I realize I may have used poor judgment,

but at the time I thought... Thought?

I'd say you didn't think.

It was inappropriate to go against your orders.

I made a mistake.

And I...

No.

No, I didn't make a mistake.

Excuse me?

We're overworked and understaffed. You all know that.

You know, I spent two hours trying to...

get someone in to cover the shift with me during one of the worst blizzards in

history. And no one even answered their cell phones. And then I look up, and

there's my best medic, and he's showing up early in that snowstorm, and all

he's allowed to do is wash dishes and mop floors.

Let me talk to you outside for a moment, Doc. I don't need to talk to you again,

Chris. I heard you the first time. You said I need to learn my place.

No, I'm not going to sit here like a little boy and let you all make

on how I run my house and the people on my streets.

You forget the first day you trained with me? You could barely start an IV.

And you said I was the best teacher you ever had. And what about Bed -Stuy in

the 80s, Frank?

How many nights did we ride together?

How many orders from downtown did we fail to comply with because we knew, you

knew, Frank, you can't make policy if you aren't out there. You want me to

my place? I know my place.

It's out on the streets, and it's where Carlos belongs to, riding with me. Now,

if you want to fire him, do it. Fire him. Hell, fire whoever you want.

But he's not going to spend every day mopping the firehouse floor until you

decide. He's too good for that.

And I...

Do not work that way.

How you doing?

Life of the party.

No drinking?

Not a drop.

All right, remember, all we want to do is get through this day, right?

Yeah.

We.

Where the hell is everyone?

Kim and Alex are on a run. The rest of the squad's on hydrant inspections.

Went pretty bad downtown, huh?

Get dressed.

What?

You're riding with me. Hurry up. Get dressed.

You just mean what I think it means? It means you're riding with me.

Well, no way they'll let me back out if they're going to fine against me in this

thing, right? I mean, this is big, man. This is definitely big. Carlos.

Good dress, okay?

Yes, sir. Be right down.

Doc.

Thanks.

There's drains down here.

Specifically, I put in for time at the end of the month to avoid hydrogen

inspection. Gets earlier every year, doesn't it?

Yeah, more tedious.

Hey, you think I got time to grab a sandwich before Johnson gets back?

spoiling your appetite. I'm making my mushroom meatloaf tonight.

What do you think I want to spoil my appetite for? You'd rather eat off a

coach than my mushroom meatloaf? You better get me one, too. You only told me

make it. What are you talking about? I didn't yoke and force the works out.

Luke, you like my mushroom meatloaf, right? No.

Two down, 648 to go. Let's go.

This day get any more exciting?

Apparently it can.

I thought you were the kids.

Nope.

Can I come in?

I gotta take Emily to an appointment, and we're running late already.

Just until she gets here, then? I don't think so.

I don't even get to apologize.

You have.

I didn't want you to be involved.

Not now, Bosco. That's all faith.

I lied to you because you didn't need to be involved in all that stuff.

Partners don't lie to each other.

Like you did with the abortion.

What? You lied to me about your abortion.

Remember?

When I thought you miscarried, I felt responsible.

That is about my personal private life.

Partners don't lie to each other.

Hi, Bosco.

Emily, you're late.

Oh, buses were screwed up.

Where's your brother?

I dropped him off at Mr. Bryan's. Oh, good.

Good. That was good thinking.

Okay, well, we have to go now because we're late.

And Bosco was just leaving.

I lied to you.

You did?

I don't really feel like the life of the party.

Between my ribs and a headache the size of Canada, I mostly feel like crap.

I'm sorry I don't take care of you today.

You can start by keeping your voice down.

Ah, come on, David. What am I supposed to do?

Hey, I'll get you some aspirin.

Two bottles should make a dent.

5 -5 Charlie, York, and 129, 10 -4.

Will you please take it easy with that? All right, I'm here.

I said two bottles.

PT and Buster on the way.

Doesn't appear to be any structural damage. Come on.

What the hell?

Come on.

Get him out of here. Get him out of here.

There's a kid. Listen, quiet.

Where's that coming from?

Kid can wait. Find it now.

Come here. Go back there.

How? Straight to the cautionary line. Can I ask you to go down to the basement

and shut down the utility?

Dude, rusty valve. I don't think I can close it all the way. Close it as tight

as you can. We've got to get this thing out of here before we set the car open.

Make it fast, Jimmy.

Hold EMS on standby.

Drivers, tail to the shoulder. Got it.

Billy, get this out of here. You got it.

All right, let's stabilize the car. Jimmy, check the driver and the kit.

He's got a pulse. Lucky him. He's still breathing.

He's unconscious, though. How's the baby?

Still in her car seat. He's doing fine. All right. I need the hearse. I need

some tools. I need a glass punch. Bring up a couple sea collars, too.

Class stabilized, boss.

All right. We're going to remove the side windows, the rear windows. We're

to cut the seat post. We're going to flap the roof forward, all right?

Let's go.

Sorry, honey. I got to cover you up while we knock this window out.

All right.

He started with crowd control.

I guess there's no way to do that quietly.

The asthma's not working?

And the headache's gone from pounding to throbbing, if that's an improvement.

One day at a time, right?

Working on the next ten minutes.

That's the spirit.

All right, people, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Come on. Get over there.

Get across the street. We've got ambulances coming in right here.

All right, we'll get on this side. We need a little more light. Come on.

Through, DJ?

Oh, no.

What's going on with that light?

Get that hearse over here.

plumbing supply store. I don't know if that idea is going to catch on.

Let's hope not.

Man, it's great to be back.

You're back?

Yeah, it's all over with. Good. Maybe you'll be the first man out of the car.

The baby?

In a car seat.

Any other passengers?

Just the driver. He's going to be in extrication and he's impaled.

Ouch. All right, call for another bus. I'll get the team.

Adam 553, we're going to need a bus at this location to deal with multiple

victims and an impaled driver.

All right, that's it. Let's pull it up.

You ready?

It's okay. It's all right.

We're going to get you out of here now.

Give me!

He's the baby in the car. He's not as good as the back one. Better than

taking... Yep.

No visible signs of fractures or lacerations.

Bilateral distal pulse. Lungs?

Equally and clear bilaterally.

One lucky little girl. Except for the part where her father drove into a

building. Get her into the bus.

Go.

All right, let's get to the driver. Cut that pipe as close as you can and get

that roof open the rest of the way.

David, Sullivan, I'm one of you with me?

Yeah.

Why don't you go ahead? You can take an ED at the hospital until I get there.

Sounds like a plan. I want to get to Mercy fast for safe, all right? Why

you drive? Let me ride in the back.

It's been a while since I officially took charge of a patient.

All right.

Get in my door. Yeah.

Hold on, hold on.

You're probably going to need this.

We're actually going to have to change diapers?

This kid has a load I don't think my stomach can take. The ID card's got the

mother's name and number on it.

So?

So I have a central contractor to meet you at the hospital.

Right. Headache.

All right. Hey, let's move!

That guy driving around drunk with a cute kid like that.

What, do you smell alcohol?

That guy's not loaded. That's one hell of a lousy parking job.

Starting around 02.

Still got a strong brake yield pulse.

55 Charlie, infant's mother contacted.

She'll meet you at Mercy Hospital.

Is that as loud to you as it is to me?

Uh, no, not really.

10 -4 Central.

You hear that, sweetheart?

Mama's going to meet you at the hospital.

Kid doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger.

It's a baby.

It's always furious.

But you think there's any way we can turn off that damn siren?

Hey. Hey.

I'm on the ground. She might want it back.

I had a tag come back. Steve McDonald, 28 years old, 5 '8", 140 pounds, blonde

hair. Sounds like our guy.

That's not all he's worn for his arrest for child abduction.

Kidnapped that little girl.

Got an 18 -month -old female.

Found secure in the rear of the car.

Frontal impact, no apparent injury.

Heart rate is 100.

Rest, 20.

Any loss of consciousness?

Fire was first on the scene, and they said she was crying.

Okay, good.

Let's get a trauma panel, portable check, CT.

Police contacted the mother from above, since she's on her way.

Well, barring any internal injuries, I think this little girl's going to be

fine. What about the father? He's being extricated now.

Kim and Taylor are on the scene with him.

You said he's impaled, right? Yeah, impaled.

We need some extra bulky dressing. And a fart bag.

Hey, Faith, from the room in the back, this guy's a prisoner.

What, DUI? No, it's a child attack.

Seriously? Mother asked custody, and Daddy snatched the girl last week. Gee,

wonder why the judge thought she'd be better off with her mother.

Billy,

as soon as the pipes are tied, pop the windshield, finish the roof.

Yes.

How's our patient?

A couple more minutes, and we're all yours.

Am I?

Oh, God. Bye, Kimmy.

Leslie McDonald?

Yes. Hi, I'm Monty Parker, one of the paramedics who brought your daughter in.

Where is she?

She's in the trauma room right now. Trauma room? Relax, relax.

She's fine. They're just running some tests, but she seems fine, okay? There's

no external injuries and her vital signs are stable. They're just checking her

out as a precaution.

Can I see her?

I'll take you to her.

Oh, thank you, officer.

Thank you. No problem, ma 'am. That's what we're here for.

All right, I'm going to put a little thing.

You got it.

There you go.

Okay, and as little movement as possible.

All right, I got the backboard.

All right, I'm going to drop the back of the seat on three. One, two, three.

All right, I got the board. We slide under.

All right.

On my count.

One, two, three.

Go.

Here we go.

Mara, I'm ready.

Go, go, let's go.

This is Mrs. McDonald.

It's okay, sweetheart.

I'm here. I'll get Dr. Field.

You're safe now. So, ma 'am, about your husband.

Is he here? I don't want him anywhere near my daughter.

I don't think you have to worry about that. It was a pretty serious accident.

Good. But the detectives need to talk to you about them. They're on their way

down here.

I'll talk to anyone I have to.

I just want to be with her right now.

Right.

Okay, well, I'll be right outside if you need me.

Come on.

Emily Yolkis?

Come on back.

You know, we'll be here this long. Just give it a shot.

Mom.

Emily, what are you complaining about? I'm stuck out here in Rocky Horrorland.

Go ahead.

Bozo wants me.

Heart rate's increasing.

Lauren? Lauren!

Take it easy.

Lauren! Calm down, sir. You're in an ambulance.

My daughter.

Where's Lauren? She's already at the hospital with her mother. Your little

adventure's over.

What about the pills?

What pills?

I left them on the coffee table. She got into the bottle.

Bottle of what? It was a Zeta. Was it Zeta something? Zeta -medicine? Yes. She

got into the bottle. How many?

I was just trying to take it.

To the hospital?

How many pills did she take?

It was a handful. It was maybe half the bottle.

Maybe 20.

I was just trying to take her to the hospital.

Is that bad?

Yeah, it's real bad.

4553. That little girl didn't look sick.

It takes 10 to 12 hours for symptoms to show damage in 6 to 8.

What kind of damage? Liver.

Bad damage.

You mean like death damage?

It's a good thing we're here.

I'll tell the mother what's going on. We'll find Fields.

Where is she?

She's gone.

Gone? Where?

I don't know. They're just gone.

Hospital right now. No one in the lot.

Anything? You did a sweep. It doesn't look like you fell inside.

What if this woman attracts starts? She'd get away so fast.

You know, Lou, you should check with the taxi company. She could be riding to

the back of the road right now.

28 -year -old male with a pipe through his shoulder. Extended explication. BP

130 over 90. Pulse 120.

Rest 22.

GPS was 9 on scene, but he came to an ambulance.

How's the little girl doing?

Kim said she'll be all right as long as she takes a hand at all the time.

They're gone.

Who? The mother took the baby and left before we could do anything about the O

.D. She just left. How could you let that happen? What was I supposed to do,

cuff her to the bed? She wasn't a part of it. So you were supposed to stay with

the baby. No, this is not on me.

The woman wanted to be alone with her daughter. I let her be alone with her. I

didn't have any reason not to. Sully.

Look, there's a unit on the way to their apartment in the Bronx.

Hopefully they'll pick her up there.

Wait a minute, she lives in the Bronx?

That's what it said in the missing report. And how'd she get here so fast?

What are you talking about?

They only contacted her half an hour ago.

She got here in like ten minutes.

Mr. McDonald.

Mr. McDonald. I got to work here, man.

Just bother the little girl who's over there. I need to talk to her.

Okay, all right.

Mr. McDonald, your wife?

Take them on out of the hospital. Where would she go? Oh, no.

My wife, she's sick.

What do you mean she's sick? She's schizophrenic.

She stopped taking her meds.

That's why I took Lauren in the first place. Do you have any idea where she

would go?

Was Lauren treated?

Was Lauren treated for the pills?

No.

Oh, my God.

It's going to be all right. Just let me know where to look.

She lives at a... In the Bronx, I know, but is there somewhere else, somewhere

closer, somewhere in the city? Yeah, her sister's... Her sister has...

The space that Ledley sometimes uses is... Where is it? It's on 98th Street.

I'm sure you've gone down the drain.

There you go.

Great. Yeah?

Sandra's really cool.

Sandra? She's the counselor.

See? That was painful.

Yeah, and she says we should make the appointment instead.

What?

You have to get booked up pretty fast.

So you want to come back? Yeah, is that okay?

That's great.

Yeah, okay.

Any word on that little girl?

The husband said his sister -in -law's got an apartment in the city and the

stays there sometimes, so we're going to check it out. We've got a car coming to

take us over there. We should go, too.

We're going to need to get that girl back here fast for the NAC. We don't

know if she's there.

What if she is?

All right, well, call dispatch and let them know what we're doing.

They fed them in the sky so they'd keep an eye on McDonnell for us.

We're all set, then.

Yes, when we get back to the RMP.

We're good.

You guys, hit your ride with us back to your car.

That's a good idea.

5 -5 Charlie to Central. Hit the guard at car at mercy. We're going to hit the

ride with Adam. 5 -5 -3.

They're on the fourth floor. If they're out there, we'll bring them down.

Right. Good luck.

Ms. McDonald?

Ms. McDonald, it's Officer Sullivan from the hospital, remember?

Should we check it?

I don't know if she's in there.

Go away!

Ma 'am, it's the police. Your daughter's very sick.

You are not going to take her away from me. She's back with me now. I am never

letting her go again.

Mrs. McDonald, Lauren swallowed a bunch of pills.

We have to get her some medication right away. No! No medicine!

Ma 'am, please, she needs help.

All she needs is her mother.

Doesn't feel like we're going to talk her out of there. Her husband says she's

dangerous when she's off her meds. I hope he's wrong.

Mrs. McDonald, you need to bring Lauren out to us.

I will set this whole place on fire.

I will.

No one is ever taking my daughter away from me ever again.

Looks like she's off her meds now.

Central, this is 55 Charlie. We need ESU and a supervisor for the width of this

location. We have a hostage situation involving a small child. We need

medical attention.

We had a roll FD2. The thing's turning ours.

They're trying to help your daughter, ma 'am. You don't care about my daughter.

You're working for him, aren't you?

Working for my husband.

Ma 'am, all those vehicles outside, they're here to help you. Okay?

They work for you and Lauren. Oh, he has ways.

No one's trying to help your daughter, Mrs. McDonald.

It's okay.

I won't let them take you.

Ma 'am.

What was I thinking?

What? I don't know how I could have missed seeing it all these years. Seeing

what? This job.

All these years, I've been treating it like a stepping stone, a space villain,

until I got through med school.

Carlos, listen. We're out here every day.

And what we do means so much to so many people.

All this time, I've been waiting to arrive for my life to start, you know?

I've been exactly where I ought to be, where I want to be.

Carlos, what about this morning?

What the hell?

Adam 553, I need to get an emergency message to PD 55 Charlie.

Maybe we should wait for ESU. They're going to be here in a minute. I don't

think we have a minute.

Mister, come on.

Come on.

All right, all right. Get out of the way. Another one.

Davis!

Mr. McDonald?

Stop! Stop!

I'll jump.

Ms. McDonald?

Please? I swear, if you come any closer, I will jump!

Okay.

I'm going to stay right here.

Get out of here! Leave me alone!

I can't do that. Subject's on the north side of this building with the baby.

Talk about more. My partner's down on the roof with her now.

Lauren needs me. You're right. You're right. She needs you. She needs you to

how sick she is.

She's getting close to the edge now.

Yeah, thanks, Lieutenant.

Let's get the airbag ready.

We're going to save a lot of time if my guys can lend a hand.

Yeah, thanks.

I'm going up. Let's go, Moss. All right, guys, go. Help me. Do what you got to

do. Come on, let's go.

Look at her, ma 'am.

She's asleep.

No.

She's tired.

No. No, she's sick.

She's not asleep. She took some pills and she's sick.

Go away!

Leave me alone!

I can't do that.

I'll jump.

Go.

She needs an antidote.

Now, Miss McDonald, I know you love Warren, right?

You love your daughter?

Well, whatever you're thinking about doing, that little girl deserves to be

right. I know what's best for her.

No, stop. Stop, please.

Please stop.

I will not let you take her from me!

There's someone inside you. You know she's not asleep.

I'm tired.

It's okay, honey.

No one knows your little girl better than you. Look at her.

Man, really look at her.

Wake up, honey.

Baby?

She can't wake up, Mr. Donald. Not without help.

You gotta let me help her, alright?

I can help her.

Please.

Take her. Thank you.

There's an ambulance downstairs.

They're going to take her to the hospital. They're going to help her. No,

no. Come on.

Mrs. McDonald, you did good. You helped her.

I'm not a good mother.

Let's just talk about it, all right?

I can't take care of her.

Someone understand me.

I understand you.

It's not true, Mr. McDonald. I understand you.

You just saved your life. You just saved your life.

But I'm supposed to protect her.

You have.

Just go.

You have her. Just go.

No, I'm staying here with you.

We're going to walk out of here together.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Davis!

Davis!

Come on, man. I got you.

I can't get up over the roof. Hold on to me. Pull me up.

Come on, Paul. I got you.

Hold on to me, man. Pull me up.

Pull me up. You got to pull me up. Pull me up. Come on.

No!

David! David!

What time is Ty getting home?

About an hour.

We should make that salad he likes, with the beets.

That'd be nice.

You seem happy.

Do I?

Mm -hmm.

I don't know.

It was time to... It felt good to talk to someone I could trust.

Really?

Yeah, it was nice.

You like beef?

Hmm?

Beef.

I hate beef.

Me too.

Let's just leave him on the side.

I'm fine. I don't need to go to the hospital. I'm fine.

Just got the wind knocked out of me. That's all. Falling force lights will do

that to you, super boy.

Listen, don't make me call your sergeant and have him order you to get checked

out. Let's go.

All right, I'm going to... You want to ride with him?

No, I've got some stuff to take care of here. I'll bring the RMP and I'll meet

you over at the hospital.

All right.

Davis, I, uh... Guys, we've got to roll. What?

Nothing. Be at the hospital.

Yeah.

I'm sorry

Sullivan's outside waiting on you.

He's waiting. Why didn't he come in?

I don't know. He said for you to come out.

Thanks,

Mary.

Try not to pull up any more buildings on your way out of here.

Yes, ma 'am.

Where the hell you been?

Sorry I'm late.

Sully.

What? I can smell it all over you.

I needed it. You only had to make it through one day, man.

Yeah, well, Davis, this was a hell of a day. I almost lost you. Oh, that's why

you had a drink?

Like that's not a big deal. You didn't lose me. I dropped you. You held on to

long enough for them to get that airbag under me. You saved my life. I just had

one to calm my nerves.

What are you doing? Bad enough you drove here, you're not driving anymore.

Davis, keep... I'm taking you home. I had one drink!

I'm taking you home, son.

So I take Emily to see that counselor today.

And I have to bribe her at first to get her to go.

But she liked it.

So we made her some more appointments.

She said that it felt good to talk to somebody that she could trust.

I don't know. I guess I always thought that I was somebody that she could

You sure you're feeling all right? I mean, the doctors checked you out and

everything. There's nothing internal going on? No, I'm fine.

That internal stuff, you know, sometimes kind of hard to see. You got to check

for it.

Yeah, they probably checked for it. I don't know what to do, so... What do you

mean? You drank.

On the job.

In the R &P.

What do you got to do about it? It was a mistake.

But I admit it. It's over. I already tossed the bottle.

Well, it's not like that was the last bottle in New York.

I'm not going to buy another one.

I was upset, you know, about not being able to hold on to you, about letting

down like that.

You didn't let me down when you couldn't hold on to me.

man, it was a mistake.

I don't know what to do.

I really don't.

Ty!

Yeah, hello. This is Officer Davis from the 5 -5.

Do I need to talk to a specific union rep about a problem, or can I talk to

anyone?

No, this is about my partner.

Sullivan.

Jonathan Thomas.

I just wanted to say thank you.

I mean, I knew if anyone was going to get me out of the jam I was in, it'd be

you. I know we've had our differences, but when it counted, you were there for

me. And I just... I just wanted you to know how much it meant to me.

Good night, Carlos.

Good night.

5 -5, Parker.

Chief.

Yes, sir. I don't think...

No, sir, you can't just... Yes, sir.

I understand.

I understand.

What was that about?

The department decided to settle with the West family in exchange for

them not filing suit against the city.
