Original subtitles

Previously on Third Watch. I'm going to find who sold this to her. They call him

Animal. He makes the ice.

She's dead.

I'm really sorry about your sister.

What happened? I don't know. I found him like this. Was the guard in the

hospital? Name? Noble. Hey, there's a writer named Aaron Noble.

Why are you hanging with drug dealing gangbangers? I'm a journalist.

Blue Line Fever. With the book by the 60s? A couple dirty cops in this dirt

paints the whole house with the same brush.

You look like a bad friend.

Noble.

Hey. Yeah.

Yeah, you know.

I got a story about my Juanita.

Juanita,

I love you too much.

I love you too much.

I want to get down with you, get brown with you.

The smell of your sweet plantain is driving me insane.

And you don't even know my name. You blow my mind like a butterfly, milking

in the sunshine. You really turn me on when you picking daisies right outside

the barn.

By the barn, when did I come?

I like to smile on you. Honey, baby, naked under the moon. Boom, boom, boom.

Like a boom, boom, boom. My baby boom. I want to fly with you. I want to fly

with you.

Can

at

least stay for some coffee?

Oh, I'll put some up on the way up.

Don't tell me. There's a wife putting on an APB on you right now.

Not since 83.

You have to ask.

Late to meet a source uptown.

For the book?

Isn't it every night?

I had a lot of fun.

I hate to run out.

Look, Kimberly.

Please. I'm an adult.

All right.

I didn't like asking at the last minute, but the Times is having this awards

thing for authors tonight, and I was going to ask you to go earlier, but...

Tonight?

Tonight?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Are you sure?

It's not working.

For ten years it has.

People change.

Bosco's into anti -crime.

And I need to spend more time with my family.

So you want a different shift?

I just need something that's steady.

You know, Bosco's here one day, he's gone the next.

The quack coming from the academy, they're coming off the footpost. You

maybe there's somebody in there. No, he's in trouble. You can talk to me.

I just need a change.

All right.

All right.

Where are you off to?

A sniff operation.

Clear the location with narcotics? Yes, sir. The desk has all the info for you.

We'll check in in a few hours, though.

Mascarelli.

You okay with it?

Yeah.

I'll see who's coming out there for the post.

So how's your partner?

Are you concerned?

He seems a little pissed off. Wanted to mention a little conference with the

principal. We're splitting up.

Really? Yep.

It's time.

You know, we need a change.

I thought Yocas was your girlfriend.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Here's a guy looking to score.

Yeah, he ain't lost.

Come on, Dave. Give us the signal, baby.

All right. Catch you later, white man. All right.

Got a winner.

You don't have probable cause. You got me? I got you.

Is that what you think?

Yeah.

All one big misunderstanding.

Can I just explain?

Okay, go ahead.

Explain why there's a gram of coke in your pocket. It's research for a book.

Oh, my gosh. You know what? Please accept our apology. Sarge!

Sarge, stop searching the car.

He was only doing research for a book.

Didn't somebody already write Zumba and Zumba? Yeah, I think that was a movie.

It's on drugs and urban warfare.

Oh, warfare.

Oh, you got a gun, too?

It's in the trunk in a gun case.

It's registered.

I want you to take this back to the house and finish looking through it

All right.

Why?

Because I want to give it some special attention.

You're only allowed to look in places I can reach in a search incident to

arrest. What are you, some kind of lawyer? I told you I'm a writer. I know.

are so impressed with that.

Come on.

It was research.

Yeah.

Well, now you can research being someone's bitch.

Yeah, I gotta leave by 8 .30.

Do you think it's likely, or... Oh, great.

Okay. Yeah.

All I gotta do is find a babysitter now.

All right, we gotta go to Soho.

Do I look like a cabbie? Oh, come on. Let me know my shirt so you can cover

me. I gotta get a dress.

So we'll swing by your house. I don't have anything in my house.

Kim, it's against department policy to stop while you're on duty.

Okay?

Besides, I hate working with Levine. She's always talking about her dead

husband. All right, no jokes about her dead husband.

It's kind of hard not to when she carries his ashes around her neck.

I thought that was so great.

Good day?

Yeah, I got three under for possession.

I'd like to speak to the supervisor, please.

And one additional charge for bleeding in a public building.

Why don't you hit me? That'd be nice. Get over yourself. Let's go. I tell you,

you people are making a big mistake here. How about you shut up? Hey, I got

First Amendment rights. Yeah, try using the fifth.

You got three hours from arrest to processing me. Chop, chop.

Who's the wiseass?

Some writer guy, Aaron Noble.

Didn't he write Blue Line 2?

You mean the one that made us all look like animals?

I think it went well.

Yeah, I feel okay. I feel fine. I think this is the right thing to do.

I'm losing you, Fred. You're going in and out.

Fred.

Oh, my gosh, Fred. I'm going to have to call you back.

Emily?

What is he doing here? Mr. Jokic. Get away from her. I'm sorry about what

happened. I told you he doesn't come here. He said he couldn't come in the

house. If I see him again, I swear to God. It was a mistake. Leave.

Leave while you can still walk.

What are you going to do? Can you wait from every guy in the city? No, just one

little son of a bitch.

I learned my lesson. Emily, I'm warning you. If I catch you with him again, I

will pull you out of that school and I will ship you off to your grandparents.

Oh, yeah, like they don't have enough problems.

I'm not playing with you, Emily.

Don't touch me.

If you don't coach us, I'll be walking out of here tonight.

Oh, well, since you know all the rules.

You probably noticed that there was a school 500 feet from where you bought

dope.

In New York City, that's an automatic B felony. That's selling within 500 feet,

which makes you undercover the bad guy. He found all this in his car.

He ran a gun serial number to the NCIC.

You didn't lie about that gun, did you, Aaron? The rest is just junk.

Tape recorder, tennis shoes, some pictures, and a bunch of notebooks.

This isn't interesting.

Those are private.

These important to you? Uh -huh.

Those are my writing notes.

Start his report.

Can we work something out here?

I'm going through a big custody battle now. Well, then you should have been out

looking for a jimboree instead of dope, you dope.

I can give you something.

Deals half the dope in Harlem.

How?

Research.

Sarge?

Hey, Sarge!

Someone wants to play show and tell.

Okay, I know this guy's got a big operation.

Keeps his stash inside of pillowcases on his couch. He's got eight -year -olds

running for him.

You got a name?

Pookie.

If you can believe that.

I've got his address in my notebooks.

I'm going to interview him for the book.

So, big operation.

Come on, I'm trying to play ball with you here. I don't think I can take the

publicity that this is going to generate.

My notebooks?

With what?

All of them.

After we make a collar.

Finally, you write something that Mama likes.

I told her

not to bring him to the house. Not inside.

She plays games.

She never said he couldn't walk me home. I remember the house thing, but she's

acting like she caught us inside.

See, it sounds like a breakdown in communication.

Yes, and she broke it.

Well, did you tell her that he wasn't allowed in the house or did you say to

that she wasn't allowed to hang out with him? What are we playing, word games?

I'm only asking you a question.

This kid put her in a coma.

I would think that she would be mature enough to know that she isn't allowed to

hang out with him. She apparently didn't get that.

I told you she wasn't, Claire.

Give me a break.

Your daughter seems confused by your instructions.

My daughter is not confused by my instructions.

My daughter is being a smartass!

And I don't appreciate it!

Why don't you tell Emily why you don't want her to see Eric?

You want me to tell her?

Why she can't see him.

Because she's 15.

Because she's my kid.

Because if Special K didn't work, maybe they'll try X or heroin.

And then Eric will start dealing to all the little kids. And then a crew will

start coming to Emily because they'll know that she has the hookup.

Then Eric ODs at some unsupervised party. But now Emily's getting a cut.

And she just switched from Lomans to Saks, and there's no way that she's

back. So when little Susie Smith shows up in the emergency room and I get

called, Susie pins Emily for selling her the dope.

And then she and Eric end up in juvie, only upon their release, this one gets

knocked up by this mope. And then he decides to keep her from turning a few

tricks every now and again. The two of them will start selling drugs out the

back of some seedy club bathroom.

And meanwhile, I'm at home.

A widow because your father's heart exploded from the stress.

Wondering why I just didn't lock up this skull in the first place.

Emily, could you leave us for a minute, please?

Yeah.

Look, I can't handle this right now. She hates me.

And my partner and I are on the outs.

She thinks that she can

hang out with him.

And she just has the willpower to say no, but she doesn't.

Mrs. Jokic, you have to stop being a cop and start being a parent.

Meaning? You have a great opportunity here.

But I suggest that you leave the scale and the hooking at work.

The yelling and hypothesizing is not the way to get through to her.

The only thing she hears is that you don't trust her judgment.

Oh, well, then I am getting through to her because I don't trust her judgment.

What you want is to influence her choices by having frank and open

communication.

That way you will be the first person she calls when she gets in trouble.

Your girlfriend needs you.

What?

Oh, no. He's not my girlfriend. He's, uh, my partner.

Your partner needs you.

So, I have 245 left in my limit.

Great. Thanks. Okay, bye.

Oh, you're not Kim.

Carlos, is that you?

What are you doing in there, making a draft?

So? It's an automatic suspension if you get caught in here.

Do you like?

Either fine.

Fine like hot or fine like okay?

Um... Okay.

You know what? I'm going to put the black dress on. You look wonderful.

Oh, yeah?

That's what I'm saying. That's wonderful.

Adam 553, we have a report of a leg injury at 101... Oh, sorry.

Sorry.

Adam 553 responding.

You know, I think you could go a size smaller.

You think?

Can you just check for me quickly?

Kim, we gotta go.

All right, you know what? Just check and I'll call you.

Oh, wait. Can you unfit me?

No way.

Just do it.

Come on.

All right, let's go.

So I will see you next week.

Um, yeah, Friday. I have soccer Thursday.

Friday it is.

Thank you.

I'd like to see you too, Mrs. Yorkis.

Alone.

Great.

I'll check my schedule.

Great.

See you, Emily. Bye.

You and Bosco breaking up?

What?

Sandra mentioned something.

Things aren't working out.

You know, Eric says splitting up isn't the way to do things.

Couples need to talk through their problems.

Is that what Eric said?

What do you

got?

Show me what you got.

What's that? Show me what you got.

What's that? Look at my face.

It doesn't have anything. You don't got anything?

Huh? Is that all you got? He moved like three months ago, man. Don't make me

start this place.

I ain't lying.

It's clear.

Son of a bitch played us.

on my plate.

I'll be taking that.

Whoa, hey, you taking my weed, too?

Hey, you know what? You want me to just ask?

You just ask. Nah, I'm cool.

I'll fix it.

That will be at the station by 8.

Kim, we have a patient here.

Okay, thank you so much.

All right. Bye. Bye.

So Levine's going to cover for me? All I need now is a dress.

I told you I'm not working with that creepy freak.

Look, I'll just tell her to take the nickels off.

Big day, huh?

Yeah, kind of big.

So, how's the leg doing? Oh, the leg's fine. It's my heart that's broken.

You know what?

Let's get this blanket on you. You must be a little cold.

If you snuggle up with me, I'll feel better.

Well, thanks, but it's kind of serious.

So who's the lucky fella?

He's a writer.

He's your age. You might have a chance.

I'm up to 75 milligrams of Viagra.

Just tell him you won't be home tonight, honey.

Want to make a bet?

I told you not to play us.

What happened? Four potheads watching videos?

Well, you made a bust, didn't you?

Pookie moved three months ago.

What? He did?

I read your Blue Line Fever book.

I know those guys.

You took a bunch of rumors and half -truths and your fundamental whole book

of lies.

When I write my book, He's true.

Those potheads?

They say they bought the drug from you.

Like hell.

Oh, when I write it in my report.

True.

Don't look at him.

He's on my team.

Two felony counts plus dealing.

Your day's getting better and better.

Mm -hmm.

You guys can't be serious here. Hey, when you sent me out like that, well,

became a special project for me, Aaron.

And when I put those two black kids on the stand in their Sunday bath, that

jury's going to look at you and think you went to Harlem and took advantage of

them.

Any more rabbits in your hat?

This isn't my fault.

I thought Pookie would be here. Get him out of here.

Come on. Let's go.

Okay, okay, okay. Look, look.

I... I can give you a dealer on King and 152nd Street.

Big fish.

Not tadpole.

That's it with my crack connections. Everything else is stolen guns, some guy

fencing TVs, and some mess stuff.

We busted Animal a month ago.

I thought you guys went after the big fish. Animal wasn't even a lieutenant.

know what? I don't think he...

We worked under a guy named Willie G.

We had the bright idea of running meth through New York when the oven got too

hot out in La La Land.

They import pseudoephedrine from Canada.

They get about 17 ,060 milligrams of tablets for three grand from some Middle

Eastern guy on Atlantic Avenue.

And as the pimps and the gambling addicts make their way to Yonkers

disciples are in the back.

Buy an iodine from the horse trainers.

Iodine? All you got is iodine?

Yeah, the trainers use iodine to reshoe the horses. The dealers use it to give

methods kick.

Look, when you guys busted that lab out in Far Rockaway, the disciples split up

their anthill.

They got an extraction house where they dissolved the tablets. They carried the

powder to another place to cook the stuff. That's what an animal's place

kitchen.

I got a main branch that distributes to all the street dealers, the crackheads

and the whores.

You're lying.

Jugged out perp goes for officer's gun, gun goes off.

How's that story?

I got all the names and the numbers.

Where? The whole operation.

Where you got those? Give me a minute.

I can't wait.

I can't wait to see where these are.

There you go.

Let me see this. I cannot wait for this. Everything you want to find is right

there.

That's right. There's a whole ring.

I told you.

Put him back in the cage.

That ought to get me out of here.

We'll see.

Play me once, shame on you. Play me twice, shame on me.

Is your mom home?

Uh, sure. Eric, phone!

Hi.

Did you hear me?

Yeah. Um, this is Mrs. Jokic, Emily's mom.

Hi. I was wondering if I could talk to you alone.

Uh, sure, sure. Go, uh, get the phone, okay?

Okay. Um, nice thingy.

Please, come in.

Can I, uh, can I take your coat?

Oh, no, I'm not going to be staying that long.

She's there?

I can't believe this. When I saw you at the hospital, I tried to call you.

Yeah, I've been working.

Well, did she say something to you? What happened? They're so young. Yeah, Emily

almost died.

I just, I can't even imagine what you were going through. I mean, you know,

us, it was a little pot, but, uh, these kids today.

Horse tranquilizers?

These kids.

Um.

I need you to keep your son away from my daughter.

Excuse me? She wants me to stay away from you.

She's crazy. I'm not going to stay away from you.

Wasn't that a little easy to put the blame on Eric?

If you don't keep him away from her, I'll get a restraining order.

Eric is not the bad influence here. Well, giving an underclassman special K

wouldn't be what I would call mentoring. From what I was told, they bought it

together.

Well, Eric's a liar.

And Emily's a saint?

Ever since my son has been hanging out with your daughter, who is failing two

her classes, his grades have slipped.

My mom found the... Condom wrappers.

Oh, my God!

What do you mean, condom wrappers? You want me to show you?

This is so embarrassing.

I would like you to keep your son away from my daughter.

This conversation is over.

I want him to stop driving her home. I want him to stop calling my house. Then

why don't you tell your daughter to stop calling here seven times a day? You're

exaggerating. Sure.

It's all in my head.

Here you go.

Look at this. These are amazing.

This guy's got flowcharts.

Animals on the low tier, and then there are three other levels above that. Now

what?

We take this out.

Call an ESU, right?

And we'll send Noblin with the wire.

Think he'll play ball?

No way.

All you got to do is ask for some meth.

Once he says he's got it, we're in. I'm not wearing a wire. For your own safety,

pal. Hey, you guys know what happened to the last guy that wore a wire around

these guys?

They twirled him on a stake like a rotisserie chicken.

You want to copy my notes? Fine.

But I'm not making a buy for anybody.

The only way you're walking on your possession or intent to deliver is by

a buy or an introduction.

Of who?

One of my undercover officers.

And guess which choice makes the cops showing up less suspicious?

These guys are as bad as you say they are. You're better off just making a

score.

I'm going to give you a couple minutes to decide whether you want to give us a

signal or you want to go in there wired.

Either way, it goes down in an hour.

Hey, yeah, it's Kim.

You know, you've been on the phone all day, Kim.

Look, we're about 20 minutes away. All right, please don't close your store. I

have got to get that dress tonight.

Thanks. Bye. All right, we're going to go back to Soho.

It's rush hour. We'll never make it.

Sirens, baby.

No, you can't use them for that.

Look, if the supervisor stops us, I'll tell him I turned it on.

We're going to put plainclothes at each wing, plus two observation posts at both

the east and west corner.

Our CI is going to enter and seek out Willie G. and or his lieutenant.

We're going to give him $2 ,000 to purchase the mess.

Our informant has notified us that there is no lab on the premises, but hazmat's

going to be standing by just in case.

It's that.

Is he wearing a wire?

It might go in here.

They'll find us.

They won't.

As soon as you see this stuff, whistle. We'll be in to get you.

All right, how long is this going to take?

I'll look for you.

Here we come.

Oh, fine.

He got 100 on his parallel parking. Let's go.

How many people do you think was going to be in there?

20 or so.

He's one of them.

Roscoe, give me the book with the chart.

Let him go.

He did that, huh?

Hey.

What's up? Willie G, right?

Yeah, yeah, you're the writer guy, right?

Yeah. No,

no, no, no. Actually, I had a follow -up question.

Meet me.

Now's not a good time. You can always call me later.

No, that ain't right.

What, it's got jokes in there? It's got a detection on you.

Okay.

Who? My G -spot, man.

What the hell happened?

We'll fix it, damn it!

It's not working.

I'm going to a party. I'm going to a party.

I got it.

What took you so long?

I decided on black. It's less trendy.

Great.

I also got this wrap to wear around my shoulders when I throw in this really

sexy hat.

Enough.

Oh, I forgot to order. Are we going to stop at a drugstore?

You can borrow some of mine.

Oh, thanks.

I've worked a double with you. You can get pretty ripe.

It's not working.

We might have to go in there and get him.

55 Prime to ESU, Sergeant.

We're unable to regain communication. Let's move in.

Bruce. Back up.

55 Prime to ESU, Sergeant. Everyone pull back. We regain contact.

Is he up for a new tattoo?

Yeah, I mean, they got the Y all wrong. They looped it. I don't like loopy Y.

That'll work.

Oh, won't you hurry up and do this already?

Relax.

Ah, man.

Do some of that, man. You gotta do some of that.

Mmm.

What do you mean, mmm?

Try it.

Top of the line, man. Some stuff don't like that.

Maybe just a taste.

Is this panhead about to do some dope?

Yeah, he's about to get high.

Not bad, not bad.

That's the best right there.

All right, can we wait for the date?

Don't worry, we can put some static over this party. Yeah, we're going to have

to. We're going to have to work on that.

I had some buddy service waking.

I need to hook up.

How much are you looking at?

A lot.

How much is a lot?

Three grand.

That's what you want. You got to do it.

I'll get you wet.

Nice.

Five -five crime to ESU. Sergeant, get ready. We're almost in there.

There you go.

All right.

Oh, you what?

That is hot.

Let's go.

Stop that good now!

I'll call you back.

No TV.

Give me the Walkman.

And give me his cell phone.

How about my birth certificate?

I want you to stop calling him.

You had no right to go over there.

Go to your room, Emily.

You're just jealous that someone actually cares about me?

Loves me? This is not love.

Wake up.

You know what? There's something that you want to say to me.

Now's a really good time to say it. Telling you won't make you feel any

Telling me what? You are too young to be intimate.

Did you buy those drugs with him?

I already answered this question. No, I did not. Then he is a liar, Emily.

And that is not love.

That is somebody who doesn't even like you.

Wow.

That's probably the meanest thing you've ever said to me.

We're not done here, Emily.

That's why you're talking to my back, Emily.

We have to talk about this. We have to have frank and open communication.

Did you have an abortion?

What? I heard you and Bosco talking in the hall. He said you lied about the

abortion. That is between your father and me.

Right.

So much for frank and open communication.

Oh, look at you.

Sexy mama.

I look okay?

You look great.

Thanks. You got some on the coat, please? Yeah. Levine's changing

Good. You do look nice.

Thanks. Hey, what train stop should I get off for at the Cooper Hewitt?

Okay. Sit down.

Jump in a cab. You don't want to mess up that dress.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Okay.

All right, guys.

See you later. All right, have fun.

Hey, Carla.

Thanks for everything.

Thanks for letting me get my job back.

I know you stuck up for me in front of that board.

We've got you your job back Thanks

How

do you

You almost blew the entire operation by doing that dope. Bob, what was I

supposed to do? I mean, they know I do that stuff, and if I didn't do it, a red

flag would have gone up. Oh.

Oh, so you were helping out.

Exactly.

That was wild.

What an adrenaline rush.

Oh, yeah.

It can be, huh? You like that?

Who's Buford, huh?

What? Buford. They asked you if you were going to go see Buford.

Oh, now look, it's been real.

But I gotta go. I gotta be somewhere tonight at 9 .30. Oh, you're not going

anywhere. We made a deal.

I gotta go.

You walk out that door right now, you're a dead man.

You need to act like you were on the wrong side of that raid, busted on a

felony.

Otherwise, those boys, they're gonna know that you're a rat.

And the best thing for you to do is to go to Central Booking and wake up in a

cell next to those guys.

You can. You can. You will.

You got to think of this like research.

Hmm?

Opto -Bot Gorilla is going to be by the finish of booking.

You don't think so, do you?

I'm losing my mind here.

What's up?

I was bagging Noble stuff and... One of the notebooks was missing.

There were only three.

What?

There were four.

There were three.

Vasco. He's downstairs.

So when you finish processing, I'm going to go figure out who this Bupa guy is.

I need your pants.

I've got to make sure you're clean.

Hey, I'm out front freezing my butt off. Where are you?

Straight forward.

I've got to clean my pants.

Central Book Invest, pulling out.
