Previously on Third Watch.

Davis.

Sorry, I can't help you if you won't let me.

I don't know what happened to me last night. I was drinking, and then I wake

this morning on my couch, and I'm like this.

I need your help.

Drinking? Not a drop.

I can smell it all over you. You only had to make it through one day. I needed

you. You drank.

On the job.

In the R &B.

It was a mistake, but I admit it. It's over.

I already tossed the bottle.

Do you want me to talk to a union rep about a problem? I can't talk to anyone.

No, this is about my partner.

Sullivan. I heard

myself

today to see if I still feel.

I focus on the pain.

The only thing that's real.

The needle tears a hole.

The old familiar sting.

Try to kill it all away.

But I remember everything.

What have I become?

My sweetest friend.

Everyone I know goes away

in the end.

And you could have it all.

My empire of dirt.

I will let you down.

I will make you. Besides, I do believe I

hear a motorbike approaching now.

Look at him. Loopy.

Valiant.

All right, how many did you set yourself up with? If you wanted to kill him,

someone could have taken him home. And what was with the gun?

Security? Doesn't mean anything.

Relax. It's me, Hill, from the PBA.

Cal, where are you? Give me a hand. I've got to turn on the music.

We're going to keep this thing on our own, so I don't know what else to do.

This place makes Ted Kaczynski's shack look like the plaza.

If you were deaf in that workplace, I'd...

Come on, take it easy.

Ow!

That can't feel good. Let's get him up. Come on.

Ow!

Come on.

I told the guy to leave you on your ribs, you all right? He did? Where was

By playing with the radio. Oh, come on. I was not about to listen to New York's

best country all the way out to the boonies.

Take this.

Yeah. I need to talk to you.

Hold on.

Give me a second. No way I'm going to miss you trying to kick his ass again.

I told him this was going to happen, by the way.

I have to do this.

I can quit.

No, no, no. This isn't an intervention.

You're here to dry out. Don't say it like that. That's what it is.

How much longer are we going to be?

I've got to get home. I've got to get some shut -out before work. Me too.

All right, Officer Davis, give me a minute over here, will you?

I'm not a drunk.

No, you're just a social drinker.

Something wrong?

No.

He really has to be out here, right? We can't do this at his house. We're in a

more familiar environment.

Trust me, if the department gets winded, he's got this kind of a problem with

booze. They'll try and fire him, and he'll never be able to collect his

He's got, like, what, 25 years in, right?

Yeah. Yeah, well, unless you want those 25 to go to waste.

Keep this quiet.

And believe me, over the next few days, it's going to be anything but.

Okay. All right. Now, he's going to hallucinate.

Okay? He's going to hear things, see things, scream, holler, yell. All that's

normal. Don't worry about that.

But his shakes can become seizures, and that could be dangerous. If that

happens,

you're going to have to give him a couple of drinks of that. Really? Only

extreme emergency.

Oh, boy.

Well, there's one more thing.

And this is sometimes the hardest part.

He's going to say things.

Mean things.

He's going to try to hurt you.

But you got to remember, it's not about you. It's about him. All right? All

right.

You sure you're up for this?

What do you mean? I can get a couple other guys up here to sit with him. No.

No.

I can handle it. I got it. I'll take care of him.

Good luck. Hey, Marty.

You know, about that gun on his lap?

Yeah.

I don't... I mean, just because he had it, that doesn't necessarily mean he

you know... You're doing the right thing here.

Good luck.

Let me up.

We've got to get this Valium out in the field. We've got to be playing rubber

man here.

I got it.

There's plenty of food for now. We'll restock as we go.

I'm not staying here.

Have fun, lady.

Yeah, thanks again, guys.

See you in one month.

You want to sleep here or you want to sleep on the bed?

You need anything? You good?

So.

All right.

Party's over.

He's over

Sully

So where are you going?

Home.

What, are you going to walk?

I'll hit a highway eventually.

How do you know you're going the right way?

This isn't the right way. I don't really know.

I should have never asked you for help. Saul, come on.

You asked for help because you need help. Will you just leave me the hell

Saul, we're 50 miles away from anything. You can barely breathe because of your

ribs.

Let's just go back to the cabin, all right? I'm going to make some eggs.

Listen to me.

I just panicked about the blackouts, okay?

The other night at your apartment, that's all it was.

I just panicked.

But I'm okay now.

Really.

It was a one -time thing.

So can we please go home? I'll quit.

We tried that.

I'll go to AA. No arguments. Oh, you're gonna do that too. First you gotta get

all your assistance.

Come on. I don't need this!

Sully!

You know, those guys thought you were going to kill yourself last night.

What? You had a gun in your hand?

You don't remember, do you?

Water looks pretty cold.

Food's ready in 10 minutes.

David?

Wait up!

I know it's too bright for you. I can turn it down.

Want to play some cards?

You know, I'm thinking we should talk some.

I kind of feel like I haven't really been there for you.

Been there?

Oh, God, don't do this.

There's been some times where I think I could have been more understanding.

What you're going through. Please shut up. I mean, how many times have I been

your new place since you moved in?

None. Because I didn't want you there.

I didn't really mean to talk about Tatiana.

You can't make me talk about anything.

Look, Sully, I understand why you want to forget about what happened. It makes

sense. God.

You're so much better than me.

No, I don't. I guess you consider myself lucky you decided to work as a cop.

We're moving on to bigger and better things.

You want to know the truth?

You didn't go to law school because you couldn't let it.

I mean, you can pretend that you've just given this a try, but basically, you

don't have the balls to do anything else.

So you want to do something for me? Get the hell out of my life.

You bought it. I just can't come off it. Why?

Get it off!

David, you went home to get some sleep.

I'm warden for the next 24 hours.

You told me about your little expedition out to the lake yesterday.

If you're thinking of a repeat performance, don't bother looking for

I put them away.

You can have them back at the end of my tour.

You really should give this wood chopping a try.

A little exercise might be good for you.

Arms, legs, back. It even seems to do some cardio.

You hungry?

I'll take that as a no.

I'm telling you, my heart rate's gotta be up around 200 and I was only out

for a half an hour.

How much money do people spend on workout equipment? Like a billion

year?

All they need is a log in the yard.

Sully?

You don't think we were stupid enough to leave anything with alcohol in there,

do you?

Come on, come and get a sandwich.

You need to keep up your strength.

Can I ask you something?

Leave me alone.

Are you going to do it?

Can you pass out a chicken out?

What are you talking about?

Bang, bang, bang.

A valid question.

What do you know about trying out?

I got a whole family full of yous.

Can't cope with life, so they hide in the bottle.

I'm not you.

I guess I'm the black sheep.

Sounds like a pretty screwed up bunch of people.

This is where you try and make me feel bad about my life, so maybe I'll cut you

some play.

Huh?

Wait.

Maybe you should try to walk in my shoes.

No, thanks. I walked in the shoes of the kid next to you.

Or more like under him while he was beating the crap out of my mother.

Is that funny? That funny to you?

And you think I feel sorry for myself?

I'm not the one looking through the medicine cabinet for anything with

content. And I'm not the one who decides to clean his gun in the middle of the

night.

So, pass out or chicken out?

Give me yours and we'll see.

I'm Brant.

You don't take a crap if that's your gun, Bosco.

What was with the gun?

What was with the gun? What was with the gun?

What was with the gun?

What are you doing?

I'm fired.

What's wrong with it?

You seeing things?

I've got to get out of here. That's part of it, Sully.

Hallucinations. My old man, you see a snake.

Big, huge snakes crawling all over him.

I can't do this.

I don't like you.

You don't like me.

So?

Where's your gun?

Go to bed. Where is it? What are you doing?

Stop it!

You crazy son of a bitch!

I can't do it.

I can't do this. It's booze.

It's only booze and nightmare.

You did this to yourself.

Please. It's a crime.

Always crying. Everyone's always crying. Help me. Help me.

What about me?

Huh? What about me?

He probably drinks because he can't stand to be sober around you.

Imagine what it's like for him, having a son like you.

Hell, I drink myself silly, too. Shut up. Beat the crap out of your mother for

ever having you in the first place. Shut your mouth. Be a man.

Make him proud for once in your life.

Martin, step up.

He hates your guts, Bosco.

Be a man?

Be a man?

I didn't come all the way out here to make this easy for you.

Hello? What the hell? Bosco!

Son of a bitch clocked me. What? Your jag off partner hit me in the head and

bolted.

Son of a bitch.

Where are you going? I thought I heard a scream out there. So what?

He's probably out there having another nightmare. He's been having them all

night. Let him scream.

I'm going after him.

He's got no shoes on.

He isn't going to get too far.

Remember?

Sully! He's not going to answer.

We've got to find his footprint.

His footprint's everywhere.

Well, he said he wasn't wearing any shoes. Maybe they look different. What

hell do you know, David?

A couple of guys who grew up in the city.

I think he went this way.

You think you're going to track him?

You see anything?

I didn't see the last two things you saw.

You know, I could really use some help here, Bosco.

To do what?

Huh? I don't even know why we're out here.

What? He's lost in the woods. No, here.

What are we doing out here?

He's a grown -up. He wants to drink.

Let him drink.

Even if it kills him.

You're going to stop that from happening?

He'd do it for me. No, he wouldn't. Yeah, he would.

He's got bigger problems than we can handle. We gotta do something.

You saw the gun in his hand.

Haven't we all thought about that once or twice?

He tried to get me to kill him last night.

What?

We have to call someone, David.

No.

No, I can do this.

This is about you?

Who are you trying to save here?

Sully. Why?

Either help me or don't help me. I don't give a damn.

It's not me, it's me.

It's all right.

Let's go back to the cabin. Get away from me.

It's okay, let's go. Let's go back to the cabin.

I killed him.

I killed him. It's all right.

Take it easy. No, no.

I'm no good.

Chekchenko never drew his gun.

I did.

After. So?

After I killed him. Don't say anything else. Let's just go. Come on.

Don't say anything else. Shut up.

I let him die.

So don't. Come on. You've got to get away from me.

No.

Get away from me.

Don't you know that just looking at you makes me remember?

I never wanted you around me.

Never.

I want you to get away from me.

I hate you.

Sully, come on, you need to drink some water.

Get away from me!

Hang tough, Sully, all right? You don't understand, man. No, I'm not.

No.

You don't understand.

He's here.

Just try to rest, all right, Sal?

I can't do it. I need a drink.

Sal, just go to sleep, all right? Try to go to sleep.

No.

Just one damn drink.

I can't. Sorry, man.

David!

Bosco, what did I do, man?

You didn't do anything.

He told me he could have other people out here, and I just had to do it

It had to be me.

He's in bad shape.

No kidding, Bosco. You think so? Don't jump on me.

Did you mess up what you said about the guy not having a gun?

Chepenko? I don't give a damn about that, Davis. We got to do what we got to

It's the booze talking anyway. Believe me, we all have things to hide.

Doc said he was going to be out here. How long did he say he was going to be?

He said he had to stop by the firehouse, pick up some supplies first.

It's been more than an hour and a half for a one -hour trip. Did he hit

You gave him a good direction. Yes, the same one we had, yes.

Davis, I think it might be time.

Davis! Time for what?

To buy a whiskey. No!

Under the sink.

It's when we'll be having a seizure. You know what a seizure looks like?

No. So he could be having one for all we know. So what, the last three days have

been for nothing?

I don't think we have a choice here.

I'm just giving him a couple sips.

No.

No. One drink.

He doesn't look like he can take a whole lot more of this.

How much can his heart handle?

I don't think he's still good. What the hell took you so long?

To stop by the firehouse to get some saline and health store for some gel

Gel packs?

Yeah, runners use them. They balance your electrolytes, replace calories.

Has he eaten?

He tried, but he froze it up. That's probably a big part of the problem.

Damn.

So,

hey, come here.

Look at him.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Take some of this, okay?

Take some of this.

Hey, take some of this.

All right?

Yeah.

Just take it, pal.

Take some.

Detoxing somebody like this is dangerous. You should be left to the

professionals.

I was trying to protect him. From what?

He got a lot sicker than we expected.

Let me get him on his back. Put the blanket on him.

Get an IV in him.

How's your head?

I've been head harder.

I'm sorry about that.

You didn't do it.

I never should have left you here with him.

Please don't. For what?

I can't handle someone else feeling sorry for themselves right now.

You know all that stuff he said?

About how he hates you and all? He didn't mean it.

No, I know, I know.

I just thought I'd be more ready for it.

How's he doing?

Well, vital stabilized. He's sleeping.

How long do you think he'll be out?

He's pretty odd. The more he sleeps, the better. I mean, his biggest problem is

dehydration and malnutrition. That's good, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Cool.

You should go home, boss.

No, man.

I'm all right.

Go ahead, I'll stay.

You need some rest.

What I need is the head right now.

It didn't take me any longer to get here.

We were about to give him a drink.

Whiskey. Really?

There was a bottle hidden in the cabinet in the kitchen. We were going to get it

when you pulled up.

The alcohol might have helped him.

Doesn't that just make this whole thing last longer?

I don't know. This is something I really don't know that much about.

I've known Sully for more than 15 years.

Yeah?

Yeah. The only other time I ever saw him this bad was...

He got pretty sick, pretty bad.

I don't think he ever thought he was going to find someone like Tatiana, you

know? He thought the same about a partner until you came along.

I thought he could just quit on his own. He gave it a shot anyway.

You remember the other day, that little girl with the overdose?

The day you fell? Yeah.

First day sober.

Reminds me of that movie, Airplane.

When a guy says, uh, looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

All right.

Yeah, he didn't make it. He drank that day.

So did I.

Me too. We waited till we were on duty.

He drank on the clock? In the R &P.

How you feeling?

Me?

I haven't slept in a while, have you?

I'm all right.

It's a really good thing you're doing.

Thought you said it should have been done by professionals.

I didn't say it was a smart thing. You know, most people would have probably

just pretended it wasn't happening.

I mean,

he would have done the same thing for me.

Situation was reversed.

Don't you think?

Does it matter?

Want some coffee or something?

No, I'm good.

I'll be right back.

What are you doing?

Looking for the bottle that you hid somewhere in the kitchen cabinet.

Tell him to stop.

Are you really that weak? Yes, I am, Bosco.

So why don't you tell me where it is and both of you can get the hell away from

me. What's going on? You're going to have fun.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

I'm not going to fight you anymore.

Good.

Get out of here. No.

You want a drink? Go ahead and drink.

You're not doing it in front of us. I told you, Dave. It's stupid to even try.

You don't need that. Leave him alone, Doc.

Go ahead. Get away from me.

We're not going anywhere.

Go ahead.

What the hell is it going to take to get through to you?

I'm not worth this. Why not?

You tell me why not.

The bullet that killed your father was meant for me.

What?

Come on, Sonny.

You want to help me?

You want to stand behind me no matter what?

Then you should know who I am.

Right, Doc?

What's he talking about?

He knows.

I was putting the screws into this guy hard.

I made him meet us in that park to tell us who his suppliers were. I knew that

they were going to know he rolled on them, but I didn't care.

I had the leverage, and I was going to use it. Now, you're old, man.

He said I was pushing this guy into a corner he couldn't get out of and I

smart. But seeing as how he was supporting two families and stealing

dollar he could get his hands on, I didn't think he was a good person to

advice from.

Hey, here.

That's what he wants. Go ahead and drink. Go ahead and drink it.

That's what he wants.

Don't you understand?

Every good thing in my life.

Your father is dead because of me.

Tatiana is dead because of me.

You almost got killed.

No. Yes.

No. Yes.

Everything.

Every good thing in my life dies.

You were not responsible for me.

I knew damn good and well what I was doing when I walked into that

And what, because of you I got shot?

Please, I'm smarter than that. It was me. No, it was me!

And Tatiana died when they killed her son.

Had nothing to do with you.

Her life caught up with her.

And my dad was a grown man.

And he's standing next to you in that park for the same reason I'm standing

right now.

That's where he was supposed to be, next to his partner.

I'm not leaving. This is where I belong.

And it's not because of you.

It's because of me.

Partners. Family.

Now we go home.
