Previously on Third Watch.

How's your brother?

He's still here.

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

I'd love it.

Me too.

What is your deal, Doc?

I told you not to lock him to my book. You know what you need?

What? An attitude adjustment.

Is that what I need? Well, you know what? I would love for you to give me

When did you become an old movie buff?

I have a lot of downtime.

Meaning?

I don't date.

I rarely hang with the guys. I just go to work and I take care of Joey.

Who knew you could be happy doing that?

Wow.

You're almost a grown -up.

Almost.

You know, I'm taking Joey to Annette's game next week.

Why don't you come with us?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

I don't want him thinking that we're back together again.

So we tell him we're just dating.

He doesn't want us to date. He wants us to be married.

Look, why don't we just keep this between us for now, all right? That goes

work, too.

No more living our drama out in the firehouse.

I think I'm going to get this coat.

Alert the press, Mo.

Stop moving.

I'm not moving.

You should try those new cargo pants off. No, no, no. You don't want to go

way. You want the old uniform.

Traditional, professional.

That would have looked nice on you. Yeah, like a wool straight jacket.

No one knows tradition anymore.

All right, I'm all finished.

I went for the alterations. Oh, give me three days.

You got it.

Excuse me.

Gendarmes, the French police.

Now, that was a beautiful uniform.

Yeah, I generally try to stay away from any clothing that involves a feather.

Well, the uniform's a symbol. It represents something.

Your hat, your badge, it all has meaning, tradition.

How's it look?

Pedestrian. That's the look I'm going for.

Well, $275.

What? You want it?

Ouch.

Yeah, I want it.

You know why your hat has eight points?

I didn't know it did. You wear it every day and never look at it?

I don't know what to tell you.

Eight points for the rattle watch.

The rattle watch?

The original eight colonists were paid to patrol New York from

sunup to sundown. They carried these rattle sticks to warm people when they

in danger.

No kidding.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And they chose to wear blues so they'd never be mistaken for British redcoats.

You see, it all has meaning.

It's all symbols.

That's deep.

I'm getting a jacket like you, so... Great, we'll be twins.

Did you know that your hat has eight points on it?

Yeah, the rattle watch.

But I'm the only one that doesn't know? Your generation doesn't know anything.

They don't know from tradition. They don't know, sir.

Hey, you want this in the bag?

No, I can carry it. I'll wear this out. All right. Thank you, sir. See ya.

Mo, thanks. Yeah, baby. Couple days. See ya.

How's the radio supposed to fit over there? Zip the thing on the side. Ah.

Right here. Right here. Nice.

Yeah?

Oh, I look nice.

Warmer, too.

What's up with the new unis? What, you're rethinking retirement?

That's not how you begin the race. It's how you finish.

I intend to finish this one with pride and honor.

If I build in those two areas, at least I'll be looking good. You're starting to

sound like Mo.

I forget your name tag.

Oh, yeah?

He really likes those old uniforms, huh? Yeah, because he never had to wear one.

They're pretty bad?

Ha! 100 % wool up to here.

I almost died my first summer.

So hot.

I got a rash.

They did look better than these, though.

Yeah, but so does the garter belt stockings. You don't see a woman wearing

every day.

Huh?

I cannot get this thing off.

Rules are very clear.

Rules?

No material which is or may be construed as offensive or controversial in nature

may be displayed in or about department buildings.

So, Lieutenant, does that apply to what you can't see, but yet you know?

I'm not following.

All right. For example, if you can see this uniform, yet you knew underneath.

I see.

I see.

I think I'm going to have to reread the section.

A man must always be held to a high standard.

I may need to see the articles that you're referring to at some point in

to make a proper determination.

How are you?

I'm not a boy.

Kim, let's go.

Stay safe.

Wasn't like being a cop back then.

Maybe she talked like it was another century.

It was 25 years ago. Might as well be.

I'll tell you one thing that was different.

You got a lot more respect back then.

Really?

Wasn't another commission popping up every five minutes trying to throw cops

a clink. Yeah.

I'll tell you something that hasn't changed.

A car like that not belonging in a neighborhood like this.

Yeah.

Who belongs to you?

55 Charlie to Central with a license plate. Yeah, go ahead with your plate,

Charlie.

It's a New York tag. It's one boy Charles 144.

One boy Charles 144.

Davis, why is this car running? Yeah, I don't know.

There's somebody in it.

Ma 'am?

It's a police.

Whoa. No, no, no. Ma 'am. It's okay.

Ma 'am. It's okay. Ma 'am.

No, no, we're the police. Stop.

Just stop. No, no. We just want to talk to you.

Central, this is 55 Charlie.

We have an apparent EVP at 153 in Arthur.

Please roll the bus forthwith.

On the bulletin board, there's another sergeant's test coming up.

Really? I might take it.

That's a good book.

Really? You think so?

Yeah, you're way more level -headed than us.

How hard was the test?

Actually, I was meritoriously promoted.

I was in anti -crime in the 4 -8s, and we took off a home invasion that was

working the Upper East Side.

Fast -tracked promotion.

What about you?

I'm going to try.

Mommy, why the guy?

Oh, you don't mind making a stop? I can show you.

30 -year -old female, multiple contusions and bruising to the forearms

hands. Sound confused at scene.

Think if he'd went and bust. BP 100 over 60.

Accident? She was laying in the backseat of her car like that. Freaked out when

she saw us. Any ID?

The car comes back to a Donald Mostow, the P .O. box.

We found her handbag in the car, no wallet.

Her ring finger looks like it recently had a ring on it. I'm guessing she's

Mostow. Can't be sure. She lost consciousness about halfway over here.

damn aggressive for a robbery.

I'd say she's been raped.

Why don't you just put in the report?

Hurry up.

Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Yeah.

But I'm making him a dream catcher.

is through.

How are you?

I love you very much and your mommy's going to come and pick you up a little

later. No other unit available. Ride with EMS on a woman down in an alley.

Second between 7 and 9 and 8 and 0.

Let's take this. See you later, sweetie pie.

You know, Cruz, I became a cop because so many kids in my community thought

the police were something to be afraid of.

I took this job to change that.

He's my nephew. He's my heart. I love him.

Well, if everybody treated police officers that way, I wouldn't mind

this uniform so much.

Hey, back up. Come on, Granny.

Hey, Sasha.

That's been the last quarter phone.

911 is a free call. Did you see what happened here?

I got here.

He was like that.

All right.

Don't go anywhere. Back up.

Don't touch anything but her.

We'll try.

Karate Paul's weekend's ready.

Open handbag.

Content scattered.

Think your friend went through it?

Granny might be a lot of things, but I think...

No way. Yeah, we should still toss him.

If he had something to do with this, why would he still be here?

Torn paper, signs of a struggle.

He'd definitely lose a fight like that.

Looks like an ATM receipt.

Can you see a date?

Today.

About 30 minutes ago.

So if this is just a robbery, then why a fight?

Toy's back there.

Kid. That would definitely make me fight.

5 -5, Sergeant Central.

We're going to need backup with this woman down. We may have a missing

Hey, Sarge.

Okay? I'm here to help you.

No! Get away!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy! She's okay. Okay, she's okay. Come with me, sweetie. Come with me.

with me, sweetie.

She's going to be fine, okay?

She's going to be just fine.

We've got to get to Mercy. Come on. Oh, okay. Right now, the kids are the only

witness. Okay, why don't you go with them?

It's okay.

All right, you know what? I'll take him.

I'll see you at the hospital. Okay, great. Come with me, honey. It's okay.

go up here. You have a broken bone in your wrist. We've said it, but you may

need surgery.

My husband?

Husband, do you have a phone number where we can reach the police?

We're right here, ma 'am.

No!

No!

Get them out of here! Get them away from me! Ma 'am, what's wrong?

We had to sedate her.

Didn't you tell her we need to talk to her?

We did. The doctor thought she was going to have a stroke.

She told you it was the police who hurt her.

We had to leave the room. She saw us. She went crazy.

She said the police robbed her and raped her, and my examination bears out the

rape complaint.

30 -year -old female found unresponsive with multiple contusions. Okay, trauma

one. I have to go.

It's okay.

You're safe now. It's okay. Come here.

Hey, Lou, got an apparent robbery victim. Took a pretty good beating.

Yeah, we think she fought because she had her kid with her.

Terrific. Found him hiding in the alley where the car showed up. In a car?

Yeah, that's where it all went down. Apparently someone followed her after

made a withdrawal at the ATM.

A woman was in a car, too.

What woman?

We found a woman. She was beaten, robbed, and raped in her car.

Do you think there's any connection?

I hope not.

Why?

Because she said it was police officers that did it to her.

We're going to go into a special room, okay?

I'm just going to sit down.

All right, here we go.

Can you tell me your name, honey?

Hmm?

It's okay, sweetie. It's all over. It's okay.

Come on, baby. Can you tell me your name?

Can you look at me?

Hey, look, my name's Kim.

This is...

Sean. Hello, Sean.

I know you're safe now, okay?

You don't have to worry. No one's going to hurt you.

Can you believe me?

Yeah, I wouldn't lie to you.

My mom used to take me to get candy at Thompson's when she wakes up.

Get all right?

What's wrong?

He thinks he and his mom are going to get candy.

When we're ready?

She's getting cookies for the kids.

Well, let's give this a shot.

We'll be right here.

Hey,

why are you wearing it?

Want to draw a picture?

Oh, you know, I'm going to go stand over there.

You can keep going.

There you go.

Hey,

this is Sean.

Hi, Sean. I'm Maritza.

picture.

It's my house.

Is that a tree right there?

Yep.

So, um, Sean, I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to your

The policeman got mad at her.

The policeman?

And they hit her because they were mad.

So you have a swing in your yard, then?

No, and I'm going to get one.

My sister won't be able to swing on it until I'm done.

Do you have a sister?

She's at ballet practice with my dad.

So you said they hurt your mommy, got mad at her.

Were there two people there?

Uh -huh. They got mad at me, too.

But I ran out of the car.

So... You know, these guys, what do they look like?

Like policemen.

Like Officer Friendly when he came to my school.

And he gave us coloring books.

So maybe they had like a uniform on, dark blue color.

Like Officer Friendly.

You're a very good artist.

Thank you.

And thank you for talking to me.

You're welcome.

There were two.

They had uniforms on.

Uniforms? Yeah, he said he looked just like Officer Friendly.

Oh, poor thing.

Impersonators usually don't wear uniforms.

You think he's old enough to give us a description?

No, I don't think he saw past the uniforms.

Our woman's heavily sedated. She's not going to be able to give us anything for

a while.

Maybe we could talk to his mother.

Guys, where's the little boy?

He's in the lounge with Kim.

Do you know if he knows where the family is?

Well, he said his dad and sister at ballet practice. Why? His mother. The

wound? She had a cerebral hemorrhage. She died a few minutes ago.

We all should find this guy and kill him.

All right, I have to make some phone calls.

I want everybody to sit tight here and keep this as quiet as possible. If it

gets out, there's going to be chaos.

You got it, Lou.

They've committed at least two robberies, one rape, and one homicide.

All we really know is that there are two of them, and they're in uniform.

Both victims had recently been to an ATM, but the cameras didn't pick

unusual up.

So far, all activity seems to be confined to the 55, so look around for

unfamiliar faces in your sectors.

And as you already know, downtown has decided to inform the public.

These are guidelines that the public... have been asked to follow when

interacting with you. Now, this is for your safety as well as theirs. Request

police photo ID card, check ID number against badge number, call local

with badge number.

How to make a crappy job that much crappier.

Right.

A couple of changes today. Monroe and Sullivan, you're going to be riding

together. What? I need you on the desk with me, Davis.

I have a feeling the phones are going to be awful busy. Oh, and Sergeant Cruz

and Boscarelli are out there in an unmarked car, so keep your eyes open for

them. Yeah.

Be very alert and very careful out there today.

Let's get these bastards.

Why are you driving your mom's car?

I used it this morning to go grocery shopping.

You read the paper today?

At the top?

Yeah, I worked with one of those women.

Yeah, I know.

Kimmy, I think you're going to need to pull it out and bring it back in. I got

it.

You know her kid was with her when she was attacked?

She died at the hospital.

You know, I, uh... I brought some mace for you.

Mace? Yeah, you never know. I just want you to carry it in your purse, okay?

I don't need Nate.

Please.

Nice.

Thank you.

Well, you know what? I think you need to get out of your car and let me do it.

I can handle it. Don't you know that Cosmo says that you should do everything

that you can to make your man feel important to you?

You read Cosmo now?

No. But it does sound like something made right, doesn't it?

Right.

Make you feel better go ahead. Thank you

You'll never notice how many of us there are.

And we're still outnumbered by all the garbage.

Don't you feel weird?

What? I just never thought I'd be looking at other cops and suspects.

Don't be. We're looking for dirtbags in uniform.

Yeah, but if they fool those other women, what makes you think... They're

going to fool us.

We'll be able to tell they're not real.

And where are they getting the uniforms from, anyway?

Must be the same place we get ours.

The uniform houses are not supposed to sell uniforms unless they check those

IDs.

Maybe they're not checking for IDs.

Look at this.

Somebody wants a ticket today.

Come on.

Pull it over.

Look at this.

He's not going to pull over.

Well, I know that.

No, no, no.

I need you to pull the car over now.

I need you to pull that car over now.

Pull it over.

I know he's renewing the times and everything.

Oh, my God.

Central, we're in pursuit of a Jan Buick, licensed 7 Baker, 8 4 Charlie,

Nancy, traveling eastbound on 106th Street, near left.

Ma 'am, this is the last time I'm going to tell you to pull that car over.

Sully, maybe we should just back off this.

We can't now. She might kill somebody.

No, it's good you called.

5 -5, Priest and Lieutenant Swersky. You have a good day. All right.

Yes, sir. I cannot... 5 -5, it's Officer Davis.

No. No. Man, just give me his badge number.

Yes, sir. They are real officers.

Well, if the officer said your son's under arrest, then he's under arrest.

I understand.

No, the law hasn't been suspended.

All right.

You're welcome. Thank you for calling, sir. You're welcome.

I had no idea how much police activity went on at any given time. Try reviewing

the activity we logged some day.

I'm being followed.

Followed by who, ma 'am? People that are dressed like police.

Are you out of your mind, lady? That's them. What the hell happened?

You're real cops?

Yes, ma 'am. We're real cops.

I would have never guessed.

Yeah, I never would have taken you for somebody who'd go around that corner at

50 miles an hour either. I was afraid.

Yeah, me too.

Now, may I please see your license and registration?

All right, Sully.

Fluke.

Isn't he kind of out of shape to be a cop?

That's uncalled for, lady. I've been telling him that for years, ma 'am.

What's going on?

Who the hell are you?

Sergeant Cruz, 5 -5. What's going on? What do you mean, what's going on? What

unit are you with?

Taxi and limousine.

We're doing a spot check on this guy. Is that all right with you?

Got any ID?

Are you kidding me?

Am I laughing?

Yeah, I got ID.

All right.

Jet.

Sorry about that, guys.

We got to catch these guys fast.

Hey, what are you up to? More paperwork?

Oh, no.

Joey's homework. I check in the back -to -back room.

Are you going somewhere?

I have a training session in the morning, so we got an early out.

Lucky you.

I'm going to grab a bite with my mom.

I've got to return her car anyway.

Is that going to pull it out for you?

I think I can handle it, thank you.

Yeah. Say hi to your mom for me.

Really?

Yeah, I like your mom.

I'm starting to think I should call a doctor.

You know, I thought a lot about what you said about telling Joey, and I agree.

Well, it means a lot to me that you heard me.

Well, I'm trying.

But I also want you to know that I am ready to tell him.

Whenever you are, of course.

I placed the order. It's too late. You're going to have to spend the money.

Where's your other partner, the tall one?

He's answering the phone today. This is Officer Monroe.

Pleased to meet you. Likewise.

Where do you buy your uniforms?

Well, I go to the equipment section at 1PP.

Well, it's cheaper there, but it has no style.

A lady like you should have her uniforms tailored.

I'll keep that in mind, sir. Well,

I've got to ask you something.

You still have any uniforms lately to anybody not with the department?

What?

I think you heard me.

Look, you've been a cop for 20 years. You bought two uniforms.

You think that's going to keep Miss Moe in furs?

I'm serious.

I don't make no money, but I'm not a criminal.

This is the thanks I get for all the years you asked me that question.

I'm in here with my partner yesterday. He buys a new jacket. You don't ask him

for ID.

He's with you. I know you 20 years.

You still got to ask him for ID.

People get fired. They become disgruntled. They want payback.

Hey, you know what?

Maybe you should buy your uniform someplace else, huh? I'm canceling the

Have you sold uniforms to anyone not with the department?

I said no.

Look, I'm sorry.

I had to ask the question.

No, you didn't.

Go.

I'm busy now.

Selling uniforms to anyone who walks in off the street.

If you have any thoughts, just don't hesitate to call.

I have thoughts already, but you won't like them.

I'm sorry, Mo.

I just wanted you to know that I think you're a much better man than you were,

say, five years ago.

Oh, is that right?

Uh -huh.

Well, you know, I think the same of you.

Oh, yeah? That I'm a better man? Absolutely.

What?

What life?

Look, I got to call you back.

I'm being pulled over.

Look, I am sorry. I know I was cutting it kind of close, but I'm pretty sure

that it was yellow.

I'm an FDNY member.

License and registration.

Sure, ma 'am.

Come on, guys.

Sometime tonight, lady.

I know I already mentioned it, but I'm with Fidney. I'm actually a supervisor.

I don't know if that makes any difference.

It doesn't.

I can't see anything.

Do I know you guys?

License.

Ma 'am, I can't get out.

She's an FDNY supervisor.

Oh, I'm impressed.

Don't.

Look, it's my husband. He's expecting me. I'm already late.

Hey, Kimmy, it's me.

Just checking in on you. We kind of got cut off, so...

Big FDNY supervisor, and all you got is 60 bucks?

Look, that's all I had in my checking.

Come on.

Come on, you guys know what the pay is, right?

Get out.

I think I'm a good size.

Excuse me?

As a size.

How am I doing?

All right.

I guess.

I never took that test.

Never really thought about it.

I was promoted meritoriously.

Yeah? Yeah.

All the times I did.

I don't know. Things happen. I just wonder if I'm...

If I'm doing a good job.

You do fine.

Really? Yeah.

I think so.

You don't seem to have a problem telling me what to do.

Stop the car.

See what I mean? Stop the car now, Bosco.

What's wrong with this picture?

Where the hell is everybody?

Help me!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

What the hell is going on?

Not an RMP.

With two flashlights, mace.

What is going on?

Five -five crime to central. We got something going on here.

Hey, Bosco.

Yeah. This belongs to that paramedic, Kim Zambrano.

What? Yeah, it's F -G -M -Y -I -D.

That's a right kind of area over there. Sure wouldn't want to be stuck around

there at night.

Me neither, and I got a gun.

What's going on, Sully? It looks like the imposters may have stopped somebody

else. Where?

Greenpoint.

The suspect should be considered armed and dangerous and will be dressed in

uniform. Proceed forthwith with extreme caution.

Be careful.

Somebody's going to get hurt tonight.

Ah!

No!

What's that coming from?

What is that?

5 -5 crime. We got shots fired in the vicinity of 11th and Greenpoint near the

river.

Is that them?

Look, I have to know that they're not male cops.

Is that them?

Yes.

How many? Two of them.

Bosco, two. We're going to have to flank them. You go ahead. I'll cover you.

Cover Bosco!

All right, you ready?

Leave and I'll kill you.

Make it!

Shut up!

Just shoot!

I can't!

Vinny!

Get me a bus!

My partner's down!

Drop the gun.

My partner's hit!

Get a bus!

Drop the gun.

You guys with the 5 -5?

What?

God, we thought you were the bad guys.

Drop that gun now.

They're happy now?

I'll do whatever the hell you want me to do. Just get a bus rolling here.

Come on, baby.

Five crime to Central.

We need a bus at this location for a GSW.

Copy that.

Listen, we chased those guys out here. They were running after some broad.

You got an ID?

Yeah, yeah, it's in my wallet. I'm from housing.

Hanson, we're heading for a premise check when they ran right out in front

us. Can I please get some help here?

When's your 46?

What? Your next 46.

Oh, yeah, it's, uh... Wrong answer.

Your 46 is your vacation.

Yeah, you'll be sitting in the upstate on your face.

We got him.

You all right?

What happened?

I want to tell everyone. What? I want everyone to know.

What are you talking about?

About us. I want them to know.

Okay, okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I want to tell Joey.

Tonight, I want to tell him tonight.

Thank you so much for coming here.

Thank you for letting us.

Can we talk to him for a minute?

I'll bring him out.

Great.

You sure this is the right thing to do?

I think it's the only thing to do.

These officers caught the bad guys who hurt Mommy.

Come here, Sean.

Oh.

We just want you to know that those bad guys, they were only pretending to be

the police.

They weren't real. You do understand that, right?

So if you ever need the police, all you got to do is pick up the phone, and

we'll come right over, and we'll do the very best that we can to make the

situation better.

Okay? Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I really appreciate you coming.

Yeah.

Take care.
