Previously on Third Watch.

Kylie has idiopathic aplastic anemia.

I don't need you to tell me how she can die.

I want you to tell me how we're going to save her. Her best bet is a bone marrow

transplant. What happens if you don't find a match? There are problems. This

only about six to eight months.

You want me to talk about Kylie? It was worth a shot.

And if it pulls the right strings, affiliates from across the country will

to run the story, too. I've been told my father died in an accident about 25

years ago.

If anyone out there thinks that they know something about me or my family, I

need a matching donor for my daughter.

Your job is to take... Oh, well, I don't need you to tell me what my job is.

I was doing this job long before you even thought about being a paramedic. I

can't get a handle on you lately.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? Yeah, what do you mean? I mean you're all over the place. You're

up, you're down, you're hot, you're cold. I'll take them off your hand.

Full arrest, paperwork included.

When are you so generous building up overtime for retirement?

Next summer.

Maybe she really did miss it. She's on this flight. Amy.

You better watch out. You better not cry.

You better not pout. I'm telling you why. Why? Santa Claus is coming to town.

Gather round.

He's making a list, checking it twice.

He's going to find out who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling

why. Santa Claus is coming to town.

With little tin horns and little toy drums, Rudy toots toots and rum -a -dum

-dum, Santa Claus is coming to town.

And curly -haired dolls, a toddler and poo, elephant folks and kitty cars too.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping, and he knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out. You better not cry.

You better not pout. I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

You better watch out.

You better not cry.

You better not cry. I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming.

He's coming to town.

Take it easy.

You thought this building was a bed?

Me too. Turn him over.

Where you going?

Sully!

Ready. Got it.

Go.

Go. Go.

David, what do you got?

Sully ran inside.

Let's get this guy out. Come on. Run. Run.

Go get him out. Don't worry.

Come on.

Where's Sully? So I just ran in there. I don't know what he's doing. What?

Come on.

All right, watch your step.

Watch your step. There you go.

A lot more.

I don't know if she's breathing.

She is, but not very well.

Give me a run of vital.

There are more people inside.

I think they're all adults.

How about you? You all right?

I'm good.

Breaths are shallow, but good bilaterally. Ready at 60.

All right, tell me quickly, someone's hearing rhythm.

There were Christmas decorations.

Decorations. Relax, Holly. Relax, all right?

So I'll stay here. I won't let you.

I have to tell you, I hate Christmas.

Did you get looked at?

Yeah, Doc checked me out.

So how's the little girl?

She's fine.

Yeah?

Yeah. We're good at this, though.

Completely fine.

Yeah, I was just talking to her a couple minutes ago. Go and see.

No, no. It's okay. I believe you. What about the other people?

Well, they ate a lot of smoke, but they'll be all right.

Big fire like that and nobody died.

Yeah, this time of year, miracles can happen.

Sure they can.

You gotta have faith.

Yeah, well, right now I'll settle for a cup of coffee.

You have no idea.

Have a nice job out there. Yeah, that's why they pay me a small buck.

Kayla, did you catch her name?

Audrey. Audrey.

I think there was a human somewhere in there.

Oh, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Is everyone all right?

100%. Nice work, lady.

Man, this is golden time. One job finished, everybody made it. Haven't

another one yet. Yeah, yeah, don't chase me.

Finished, Kim?

Yep.

There's only two jobs in your section, so... Yeah, well, make sure girls

in the bus. I haven't finished with the course yet. Hurry up, all right?

Isn't Kim the supervisor, Doc?

Was I talking to you?

What?

Just stay out of it, Jimmy. Yeah, yeah, just stay out of it, Jimmy.

How's that all done?

Welcome to my life.

But you've got to have... one onion in stock all I need is one Oliver the onion

and I know you must save some for like employees or or special customers

excuse me yes I know how close it is to Christmas you think I just started

looking for this thing tonight do I sound stupid to you I'm not getting the

attitude I'm just saying you're talking to me like I'm a pity hello

Oliver the onion.

I'm not in the mood for your mouth, Bosco. An onion named Oliver.

Do you know what it's like to have a four -year -old ask you for the same toy

that every other child in the world is asking for from Santa Claus? It's your

sister's kid. Shouldn't she be the one on the phone?

Yeah, but she's got homework and school.

It's cool. I'm available.

You're not available. You're working.

Didn't I just say I don't want to hear your mouth? All right, all right.

Why don't you just tell me you're a cop? Everybody likes us now. I shouldn't

have to say that I'm a police officer to get a toy. You know what you should get

the kid?

Cops and robbers say.

Plastic handcuffs, chrome revolver. Guns? Yeah, that's what I always got.

look how well -adjusted you turned out.

And if I hear one more happy, happy, Merry Christmas salesperson tell me that

they don't have this damn onion, I'm going to rip somebody... Hi.

Merry Christmas to you, too. I was just wondering, um, if you had an olive or

the onion and stuff?

Would it help if I told you that I was a New York City police officer?

No, but what you don't understand is I need this toy. Can you just check maybe

one fell behind the counter?

Or I don't know, you have an extra one in the stock room? Of course I know how

damn close it is to Christmas.

Yes, I heard. Look, all right.

Very sorry.

I didn't mean to get an attitude, but you have no idea what I've been through

trying to get this story. Monroe.

Bosco, I'm not in the mood right now. Look.

Let's go.

I think I love you.

What do you want me to write?

I got it here. You can start collecting names and pedigrees.

You didn't bring me a coffee?

No. We find out which of the other victims is that little girl's parent. I

haven't talked to her. Jenny had a chart.

Is she around?

She went to the party already.

Christmas party tonight?

I let her go.

I have 16 patients in here, 11 more charts to write, and it started 28

ago. Is it too much to ask that I just once get to see someone open up my

Santa gift?

I guess I'm talking to the little girl.

But your sign says that you have them in stock. We did until about ten minutes

ago. Oh, come on. I cannot possibly be that unlucky.

We have some other very nice stuffed animals.

No. No. An onion is not an animal.

I'm really sorry.

Do you have a bathroom I can use?

Through the green curtain in the back.

Well, did you check the stock room?

Hey, Santa, you know where the bathroom is?

Just to the right of the curtain. Thanks.

Hey. To the right of the curtain.

Turn around.

You son of a bitch.

I didn't do anything.

Son of a bitch. I didn't do anything. Get behind your back.

Well, it looks like you're feeling better.

You carried me out.

Excuse me? You carried me out of the building, right?

Yeah, but you were awake.

I remember you.

Really?

You seem pretty out of it.

You know what Jelton's made out of?

Sorry.

Scraping sneeze out of cow hides.

Is that true?

Yeah.

What's your name?

Sullivan. John Sullivan.

I'm Audrey.

Nice to meet you, Audrey.

Do you have kids?

No.

Why?

Why? Are you married?

Hey, why don't we talk about you?

Okay.

Which of the people we pulled out of the building is your parent?

None of them.

My mom and dad both died. They were drug addicts.

That's how come we're homeless.

So you're all alone?

I wasn't alone.

But you have no family.

I have Big Bill, Roger Shakes, Mr. Sam.

Oh, you mean the bums.

Homeless.

Right. Sorry.

Homeless.

Come on, I didn't do it.

I did order one for you.

Like January 10th. January 10th? As early as I can get them. What am I

to tell my nephew, that Santa's backed up? Tell him to get locked up.

What's up, Oscar?

What? What are you doing?

Did you do a background check before hiring Santa Claus here?

Background? Yeah, this is Martin Dugan. He's a convicted child molester.

Oh, my God. How many kids has he had on his lap in here? It's just a job. He's

not supposed to be within 100 feet of a child. Then do anything. Shut up.

Doc, what's bugging you, man?

Nothing. Nothing?

You kind of snapped at me at the hospital.

So?

Oh, you know what?

You're not my supervisor, acting Lieutenant Doherty. No.

Kim is.

Oh, so what's this? You defending your squeeze?

Squeeze? Yeah, you're doing her again, right?

I mean, she's the flavor of the month.

Oh, is it supposed to be a secret?

Like we haven't seen you guys all over each other? She's not the flavor of the

month. Okay, all right. It's serious, guys.

True love. I mean, who gives a damn?

You know, I think you need to change the tone of your voice or there's going to

be a reprimand waiting for you at the end of this.

Again, who gives a damn?

Okay.

And he ate, though.

There was a message from a guy who says he thinks he's your brother.

What will my mother cost me? Count Florida, brother.

Straight?

Yeah.

We need one more in that open space there.

Where?

Right there. It's really open.

All right.

I remember getting this.

Yeah, baby's first Christmas.

We got like 20 stores to find this? Yeah, it would have gone to 40 if we had

I didn't tell you this, but I thought it was pretty stupid at the time.

You think you had to tell me? You were whining the whole day.

Wow. Eight years.

Time just goes by so fast.

Yeah.

But he said he won't believe in Santa anymore.

He even still does.

I hope he does.

You know how bummed I was when I found out?

Kind of like when my real childhood ended.

I'm glad we got it.

I told you it would be.

Eight years.

Well, Christmas has always been good for us.

Yeah, always.

You want to come over tonight and be Santa with me?

I'd love it.

Great. Charlie Brown Christmas.

This is not the Charlie Brown tree. Right.

It's massive, very festive.

I got it at the supermarket. It's the biggest one.

Dr. Halls. I didn't see you running up to get decorations.

And you won't. You know what? I get the I hate Christmas crap every day from

Sully at work. I don't need it from you two.

Crap. All day, every day, Thanksgiving and New Year.

You know what else time of year is for someone like Sullivan?

It's a constant reminder he's got no one to spend it with.

Every beer commercial, every street corner, every twinkling light is like a

in the chest.

I'd say that's a tad bit melodramatic.

Really?

You're going to go to his place this year instead of spending Christmas Eve

your mom so you can open up presents with all your nephews tomorrow morning?

No. Right.

And he's going to go to bed alone, wake up alone.

I mean, what the hell is there to make him feel that tomorrow's going to be any

different than today?

Any coffee?

Yeah. I think we outdid ourselves this year, gang.

Toy store is a madhouse.

What's up, Lou?

Better not be late, Davis. Oh, no, sir.

That's a nice tree.

Ho, ho, ho.

Hey, Monroe, you find the onion?

Don't start, Bob.

You're talking about Oliver the Onion?

Oh, you've heard of it? Oh, yeah. I've got three sisters with four kids. You

better believe Uncle Ty's heard of the onion.

Wait a minute.

You found one? One. I got four of them online like two months ago. Oh, wait a

minute. You've got to let me buy one from you.

What am I supposed to do? Have one of my nephews hate me?

No, no. Just let them share their kids.

They don't share.

I'm just asking for one.

I'm just saying no. Come on, man. Please.

That's cute, but I don't think they're going to let you wear that out on the

streets. What?

The hat's not an approved uniform item.

Don't you ever shut up, Bosco.

Nope.

The one from the fire?

Yeah, it was with a little girl.

Must have forgotten to give it back to her.

I'll call Children's Services, find out where they took her.

Good, good.

How you doing?

Me? Yeah, you all right? Why wouldn't I be?

It's Christmas Eve. You hate Christmas.

You know what I hate more? People asking you how you're doing? Bingo.

Coffee?

No.

How's Kyle?

Sick.

Any changes?

No.

Sarah got a kid.

What?

Morales. She sent me a Christmas card with a picture of a kid in it.

Oh, yeah. It's cute.

Five months old.

Wait a minute, Doc. This is... Don't be stupid.

I ain't seen her in two years.

How's that work?

Right. Sorry.

Can you imagine me with a kid?

I think you'd make a great father.

Mike, I need that hassle. It's kind of nice knowing that there's someone in the

world who's a part of you, you know?

No, thanks.

Why'd she send it to you?

Probably just to send it to everyone on a cardlet. You get cards from your ex

-girlfriend?

Wi -Fi 5.

Carlos Nieto?

Oh, he's not here right now.

Oh, is that right?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no, no. I'll be sure to give him the message.

Sounds like that guy from last night said he might be your brother.

Right here at the street?

Yeah.

Can I do my shoe there?

Right.

Thanks.

Children's services, they dropped her on the emergency shelter on second line.

Mind if we swing by there and give her the hat? Of course not.

Hey, what are you doing for the holiday?

Doing. You got a plan?

No.

Officer Monroe?

Oh, hey.

You know, you didn't have to come down here. We already processed that guy.

Wait until you see what I have for you.

Your very own Oliver the Onion.

I called in a lot of favors for that. Thank you so much. That was so sweet.

It's the least I can do for you, officer.

If that man had hurt a child in my store, I never could have lived with

How much do I owe you for this? Oh, no, no, no. It's a gift.

Oh, no, please.

Let me pay.

Absolutely not. That's final.

I'm sorry.

I can't take this.

What? I'm sorry. It's against our regulations.

Well, I'm not taking it back.

Seems so unfair.

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm the one that caught the guy.

You want your Santa suit back? It's in the evidence locker.

It's not mine.

You already had it.

It's one of the reasons I hired him. A child molester with his own Santa Claus

suit?

If that doesn't say Christmas, what does, huh?

Audrey Webber.

Came in at 5 a .m. Sounds about right.

Why don't we check in here first?

Has anyone seen Audrey Webber?

The older girl that came in this morning?

She went to a room.

Thank you.

That Christmas ride.

Avis. Yeah.

I like that one.

Sorry. All right.

This way, gentlemen.

No Christmas decorations, huh?

We're a state facility.

Can't favor religion.

Oh, yeah.

We used to decorate.

But there was a lawsuit.

Of course there was.

Audrey's room is right here.

Audrey?

Audrey?

You have visitors?

Oh, no.

She's gone.

Excuse me.

Is Carlos Nanto here?

He's out on the street.

Sorry to barge in here like this, but...

He hasn't returned my phone calls, and I can't really be here in New York that

long. What do you want?

Well, I think he might be my brother.

You really surprised me, throwing the toy in the bin like that.

Yeah, I surprised myself.

You think you would have done it if Swirsky wasn't looking?

I don't know.

At least you're on it.

So the kid doesn't get the onion. Not that bad. No, Bosco, you don't

the pressure of having to have the right toy, the right clothes. Oh, come on.

I've watched Yocas go through this every year for the past ten years. I thought

talking Elmo was going to kill her. The whole thing is ridiculous.

No, you're right, but...

Christmas is supposed to be about loving each other and spending time with each

other. And you should be happy with whatever you get. But, I don't know,

Claus isn't supposed to be able to do anything.

I just don't want to look good.

Why don't you just tell the kid that Christmas isn't about toys?

Yeah, like that's going to fly if we... What are you doing for

Christmas anyway?

I go to my mother's. She cooks, I eat, I'm home by 4 .30. Tops.

What's this?

I used to stop by Face Place, have a drink with her and Fred.

You know, play with whatever toys Charlie got.

You still out of town?

I don't think so.

I don't know. I never really heard.

I don't know how I would here.

You want to go by there? No.

Well, you know, you can always come by my house. I'm baking a turkey, you know.

Are you being nice to me?

I don't know what just... I don't know what just happened. I'm sorry. This

holiday thing must be, like, hitting me in my head.

Good, because you were starting to get those creeps there. Trust me, it won't

happen again.

It's amazing.

You do kind of look like him.

Kind of.

How did you hear about this?

I was flipping through the cable news channel one night.

Saw the story about his daughter. In Hawaii?

We do have cable there.

No, I know. It's just... Wow.

So, you're a lawyer?

Chief prosecutor.

6 ,000 miles away, and you saw a story about Carla.

It's actually kind of weird to hear him call that.

What do you call him? Well, if it's him, his name used to be Adam.

Really? Adam?

He's not very Hawaiian.

You're right.

So, what's he like?

Uh, Carlos? Well, he's, um, uh... He's, um... He's a good guy.

Yeah, he's a good guy. Aces.

I pictured him to be cool.

Someone I could hang out with.

So, he's on his way in?

Oh, yeah, he's just wrapping up an assignment.

Man, it's gotta suck to spend Christmas in the hospital, huh?

Better than the morgue.

Why, you developed this knack for stating the obvious.

Carlo. Yeah.

Doherty called me for you. Doherty?

Calls back, tell him he ain't our boss.

He said he wanted you to get to the house as soon as possible.

Yeah, we heard the three calls on the radio.

He said it was important.

Oh, oh, well, if the lieutenant said it's important, we should just drop all

this useless medical treatment we're performing out here and rush right in.

He calls back again, you tell him we said to kiss our ass.

Yeah.

I'm really liking the new you.

Hey,

you don't really have to say that when you said that.

I don't know where else to look for her. I guess she'd come back here.

She'll turn up somewhere.

It's getting colder.

Yeah, it's supposed to snow tonight.

It's going to be a white Christmas.

Somebody be happy about that.

At least until it all turns to slush and they have to wade through it to return

all the lousy gifts they got.

You know, I was thinking maybe I'll stop by your place tomorrow, take you out

for breakfast or something. Well, you're not doing Christmas morning with the

nephews? I don't have to.

Have your Christmas, Davis. Don't worry about me. I'm not worried about you. You

know what would make me happy?

Knowing that little girl's in a warm bed tonight before it starts snowing. If we

make that happen, I'll sing a carol. You know a carol? You guys are looking for

Audrey, right?

You know where she is?

Yeah. The streets aren't the place for a little girl like that.

No.

Sometimes I think that lady's older than me.

You gotta tell me where she is or am I gonna run you in for vagrancy and hold

you till you talk?

I didn't come here to fight with you guys.

Is she fighting?

Audrey don't hide.

Can I get a little help here?

I got it.

Where you been?

Getting the decoration.

The decoration?

It's Christmas.

I gotta go now, Shake.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, honey.

Don't forget to eat tonight.

Midnight at the Catholic Center. Yes, ma 'am.

Come on, we don't have much time.

You called?

They took it all. They took what?

Everything. Every present.

What happened, sir? When we got home, they had probably the basement window

open, and they took it all. They took all the presents.

What kind of person does that?

My kids.

I have five kids.

Sometimes if you have homeowner's insurance, they'll cover the burglary.

But Christmas is tomorrow.

How are they going to have anything to open?

I mean, I spent my whole check.

This is our missing from the shelter. Can you call children's services for me?

You got it. I wasn't missing, you know. To what you were.

I had something to do.

Audrey, you're 12 years old. If you don't get to run around, do whatever you

want to. Sit.

12 -year -olds used to ride the Pony Express.

What? Look it up. Average life expectancy was about 25 back then. We

of kids today.

You want coffee?

Yeah.

No.

Roger, shake.

Needs to be taken care of.

If you don't remind him, he completely forgets to eat.

But I bet he never forgets to drink, does he?

Why did we have to come here?

Couldn't you just take me right back to the shelter?

Oh, what, now you want to go back there? That's why I got the decorations.

The shelter?

They don't have any. Can we go now?

You know, we got procedures here, okay?

This little stunt you pulled today causes a lot of paperwork.

So do you know exactly what's missing?

All the presents. All of them. I mean, specifically.

I can't remember all of it. I mean, I have receipts if you need them.

Detectives will need them if there's an arrest.

Will there be an arrest?

What

am

I going to say to them?

I have nothing.

Nothing to give them in the morning.

Finished.

I'll call this number, all right?

And I'll give you a complaint number in the morning for your insurance.

That's it?

I'm sorry, sir.

Thank you. Thank you, officer.

I wish there was more we could do.

If you're thinking about mentioning the irony, don't even bother.

Even if you had the dough?

Where is he going to find Christmas presents at 9 .30 on Christmas Eve? I'll

never complain again.

Wait a minute.

Too bad there isn't a toy store guy who wants to help us out.

You think?

He seemed like he wanted to do us a favor. Yeah, he did.

How much money you got?

Maybe I should just leave him alone.

No, he'll be here. He's on his way.

Maybe he doesn't want to see me. No, it's just business.

But none of you are.

They're here.

It's them.

I was just talking about it. I heard you the first five times. I just...

You can't stop right at the top of the stairs, Doc, you know?

Oh, my God.

My father took away my baby brother because of a bad divorce

custody thing.

We've been looking for them ever since.

Like, I... Like, I don't know...

What?

Adam.

Hey. My brother's name is Adam.

I wasn't looking for any brother.

I was only just trying to help Kylie. No.

I already went to the hospital.

I got the test done yesterday.

I'm a match.

I can donate.

It's what I wanted to tell you.

You can donate?

You've been looking for me.

Yeah. For 25 years.

Baby brother.

Derry! Oh, no.

I don't have another one.

Another one?

Yeah, all over the onion.

No, that's not why we're here.

We just handled a burglary, and the family's Christmas gifts for the kids,

were all stolen.

Oh, terrible.

Yeah, we have about, like, $92 between us, and we were wondering if we could

come in and pick up a couple things.

Oh, yes, please, please.

Be our guest, and you won't have to worry about any money either. And we'll

anything you want, just whatever you pick out, we'll wrap for you. Thanks.

Now, how many kids are there? Five.

Boys? Girls?

We don't really know. Well, that's all right. I know.

My partner's on the phone at Children's

Services right now. You shouldn't have to be here much longer.

Oh.

Oh, God.

You lost us at the fire last night.

That's not mine. What are you talking about? It was all wrapped up with you.

Like a present?

Yeah, sort of.

It's yours then.

You opened it.

You don't want the hat?

Why don't you like it?

What, the hat?

Christmas. I don't know. It's not my thing.

Everyone's thing.

Not everyone.

Your problem is you forgot.

All grown -ups forget.

Forget what?

Do you remember when you believed in Santa Claus?

How Christmas Eve was the best ever?

A man who didn't know what's coming thousands of miles to give you a toy.

It's not real, though.

It is to kids.

And if everyone could always remember what that feels like.

It's not that easy sometimes.

Let's make a deal.

a perfect way to end Christmas Eve. Not too bad.

You know, you really are a big softie. Keep that to yourself.

Like anyone would believe it.

Want to go have a drink?

Maybe next time. I have somewhere to be.

On Christmas Eve?

Every Christmas Eve.

You must have a hot date.

Yeah. It's an onion. Look, this is great.

No kidding.

And wait a minute, there's a card.

Merry Christmas, Sasha. Love, Santa Claus.

Wow. And I stopped believing.

It's my onion, Bosco. I can't believe this. Wait a minute. Did you have

something to do with this?

When have I not been with you?

Want me to go check that out?

No, Sarge, don't worry about it.

Merry Christmas, though.

Merry Christmas to you.

Merry

Christmas.
