Previously on Third Watch.

Paramedics in every other house are assigned to spots on the street.

You're throwing us out? I'm rectifying the situation.

Guys like you, it's all about the members, huh?

Maybe it doesn't bother you? You've been in this house most of your life.

Temporarily. I don't want to set as deep as closing us down.

Trust me.

I want you to ask Swarsky to put us back together.

Thanks for all your cooperation.

You did the right thing. I didn't do nothing. I didn't say anything, Carl. I

swear, this is the setup. Tomorrow night.

Yeah, I know it's short notice.

A party?

I can't spend the night.

How about you, please?

Parker, I know you're in the kitchen making me breakfast.

I know you didn't sneak out without saying.

What are you doing home?

I was close.

What are you talking about? Your route's on the other side of town.

Listen, Wally from Purchasing says he's got a doctor that'll sign anything we

put in front of him for the price of a visit.

What? Department can't say there's nothing wrong with your back if an

independent doctor says they're in.

No.

I called him. I can see you right now. He'll buy us some time. Fred, I'm not

going to go eat some quack.

He's a real doctor.

Well, I'm going back to work today, Fred.

You're not ready.

Apparently the medical section doesn't approve.

The doctor will sign something that says you're not ready.

No.

I gotta get back.

I love you.

My mom thinks they're ducking her last paycheck at that bar she worked at. Mind

if we swing by at the roll call?

That's not a personal errand, is it?

What are you, back to being our patrol sergeant again? Oh, yeah, I forgot.

You're somebody else's problem now.

Mm -hmm.

Only take a sec.

Whatever.

Something wrong?

No. Trouble with the new boyfriend?

Should have seen him last night at the party all over each other.

Who?

Something, Doc?

Parker?

You go, girl.

Right, this really isn't anyone's business. You weren't trying to hide it.

he, like, way too old for you?

He's not that old. He's closer to a fifth -parent bus pass than he is their

He is not.

You seem a little defensive yourself there, Sully. I'm just saying the guy's

that old, Bosco.

Hey, Cruz, can I pop in?

Hey, Yoko, how you doing?

Welcome home.

Thanks, Sasha.

Hey. Hey. How you doing?

I can't complain.

Yeah? It's all right, Sully. Complain's enough for everybody.

Welcome back.

We missed you.

Thanks, Sully.

Yeah.

Did you talk to the boss?

Yeah, he's not going for it. He's got me riding with Monroe.

Lala was out.

I'm back now.

He's not giving in on this. I don't know what to tell you.

Did he say when?

Let me work on some.

Okay?

Maybe you should get another partner in the meantime. Get yourself out of the

house.

I'm good to wait. You are.

All right.

Suit yourself.

It's good to see you.

Kim, I'm grabbing you two apples.

I cannot believe this.

They won't miss it. None of those guys ate fruit.

I'm talking about Doc.

He's on his way. This is the latest he has ever been.

No answer. He's got to be on his way.

You know, a cleansing breath can be very refreshing this time of day. You know

what? The company's going to come back and Steeper's going to be up in my ass

for not being out of the house.

I don't even have a full crew.

Why don't you two guys go out and I'll wait for him? No, I can't go out on the

street unless I know that he's here. What's Steeper going to think of that?

Which one of you is our boss, Kim?

He's a captain, Carlos.

You want him reporting me to downtown that I can't take care of a crew

so that he gets someone else to come here?

What? You think this is so funny? Would they do that?

You know what? I'm going to keep trying the numbers. You two go out together.

Try to go by his apartment.

I mean, maybe he's overslept and can't hear the phone or something. You want us

to ride together?

Now. Carlos, I'm grabbing you a pair. No fruit.

He thinks riding with him is a picnic?

Please, Holly, just go.

Sarge. Somebody would have warned me she was coming back today. I know. No one

told me either. Listen, I really need your advice on something.

Ask.

I can't find my off -duty gun.

Tell me you're kidding. I went to grab all my stuff this morning, and I don't

know where to... Well, where did you have it next?

I left here, went to Doc's party, and then I went straight home.

Well, there were nothing but cops and firemen at that party, right? Somebody

probably picked it up.

Yeah, but I don't know, maybe.

It's just... Well, either that or it's at home and you missed it.

No, I tore my apartment up. And I don't leave it laying around.

Call Parker.

See if he found it.

I don't, um... I don't really want to call Parker.

I can't deal with these guys.

I thought Parker was different.

You stay here. I'm going to try to find Doc and see if he found it and put it

away for you.

What's going on?

Monroe's going to be assisting me with something up here for a little while.

With what?

Um, it's none of your concern.

I said I had something to do.

Yeah, well, put yourself out on a personal and we'll be done by the time

come back.

Just leave by myself.

Why don't you just come with me, okay?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I've had three times, and I haven't even been here an hour. No, it

been three. At least.

How about you answer the question? I'm good.

Good. Lieutenant, I'm going to need Monroe for a little while. I was

if it's okay if Boss can handle the personal run while I use her.

What kind of personal? Something for my mom, just an air.

Put yourself out on the radio.

Thanks, Boss.

It's chummy again.

Yeah, let's change since you've been gone. Yeah, I see that.

Like I can't believe either one of them asked permission.

I don't know. I don't know. I'd like to know.

Find out. Well, just give it a shot, you know? I've got dinner tonight.

I'll get right on it, Cap.

We'll be upstairs. They're cleaning up.

Something wrong?

No. No, sir.

So what are you doing in here?

Uh, Doc got a doctor's appointment. I'm just, uh, I'm waiting for him to get in.

Is he late?

No, no.

I knew about the... Good roster has you and Levine pocketed in the Edo.

Yeah, I forgot to update it when Doc told me about his appointment.

Sure everything's okay?

Yeah, we'll be out of the house as soon as he gets here.

Right. Is, uh, Parker in?

No, not yet.

Who are you?

Uh, Sergeant Cruz. I work... PD?

Yeah.

The house watch downstairs?

Well, there was a guy down there in the office, but he was on the phone, so I

just... Visitors are supposed to be announced at a firehouse. Yeah, well, I

came... Did you people follow any rules before I came here?

Hey, look, it's not her fault. I just... If you want to talk to somebody, go

back downstairs, speak to the house watch, come back upstairs.

But I'm already up here.

Downstairs.

You know what? I'll give Doc your message.

Rules are for a reason.

Yes, sir. I'll not have people wandering in and out of this house. Not even P

.D.

Understood? Understood.

Let me know as soon as Parker gets here.

Yes, sir.

Hello? Sorry.

Mom? Get off me.

You messed up making me look like a rat.

Nardo? You're going to make this right.

You better not touch her, you son of a bitch. I wanted to make you a player and

you put a gun to my head. No, you hear me? I swear to God I'll kill you.

You hear me? I will hunt you down and kill you.

You ever want to see your old lady again, I want you to meet me.

Alone. Where?

Oh, that smells good, Billy.

Okay, call downtown, get a replacement and write him up.

I told you this was approved.

He isn't coming.

Oh, do respect, Captain. Stay out of this and let me run my crew.

You call that respect?

You okay with a radish, Captain?

Radishes? Yeah, you know, in a salad.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, radish is fine.

Hey, Parker's here.

He's here.

You make it fast.

You're an hour late getting out on the street already.

Yeah, it's nothing painful.

Doctor. What? Why are you in your booth? Hey, Kimmy, I'm not going on the street

today. Excuse me. What? Listen, Doc, I need to talk to you. You just can't.

Like I said,

I'm not going on the street today.

Oh, God. Oh, God. Doc.

Stay where you are. Yeah.

Let me help him.

15 minutes. What?

15 minutes. Hey, what are you talking about? Hey, hey, when he closes this

house, the people in this community will have to wait at least 15 minutes for

medical or fire response.

See, I did the math.

Calculated the response time.

Isn't that how you do it, Jack?

Huh? Reduce it to a workable number. Please.

Okay, so, everyone understand?

He's dying. Billy, just back up for a minute, okay?

All right?

Belly wounds, they bleed a lot, but he's got at least 20 minutes to live. At

least that, right?

What the hell is that? All right, all right. Okay, okay, okay.

All right, Bobby.

Have a seat at the table.

Stay right there. Okay, all right. You trying to sneak up on me?

Billy, Billy. All right, Billy, back up.

Look, let me just help him, okay? Let me work on him. He doesn't listen, Kim.

So we got to put it in terms he can understand.

All right, well, we're all listening, okay? We're all here.

We're all listening.

Why don't we just calm down, okay?

No, I'm calm.

I told you I wasn't going to let this house close.

By letting a man die? No, no, he doesn't have to die. All he has to do is see

what 15 minutes feels like when you need help.

Austin, I need lost time. Excuse me? I need an emergency day, lost time,

whatever. Why? It's a personal family emergency.

Is everything all right? You don't like it? Fire me. I got to go.

What is going on?

Not that much has changed.

I'm not closing the house.

Yeah.

Because you're going to be able to tell them just how important it is to have

people like us close by when you need us. You're crazy, Doc. Am I, Billy?

Huh? But he's the one that transferred Jimmy and tossed the medics out of the

house.

Isn't that exactly how you did it with 26ers, Jack? No, closing.

No, tell him.

Huh? What, you can't talk?

See, three days after.

He tossed the medics out of that house. He recommended closing it down. See, I

talked to Roger Carter.

Help me, please.

I talked to them all, Josh.

Doc, if you don't let me work on him, we're going to lose him.

Well, 13 minutes.

Look, at least let me get him some fluid.

Kim, if we were out on the streets, who'd give him fluids, huh? No one,

help wouldn't be here yet.

Look, we don't know for sure that he's got 15 minutes.

Well, what I do know for sure is that the people out there don't have a chance

at all if this house is gone.

I'm not closing the house!

DK.

Sit down.

Sit down! Everybody sit down!

Okay, now.

Look, I don't want to hurt anybody, D .K. You hurt him.

But that's for us. That's for all of us, okay?

I mean, we work hard to make this house what it is.

Don't say you're doing this for us, Doc.

Well, you know what?

Actions have consequences.

And Steve was starting to see that now, aren't you, Jack, huh?

Actions have consequences.

Oh, yes, ma 'am.

You are very welcome, ma 'am.

I love satisfied customers.

I'm really good at this.

How you doing?

Feel good.

Yeah.

Hey, Luke.

Yeah. You know what would make me feel better since you're asking?

What? I mean, no offense, but, you know, working the desk is like watching dry

paint get drier. And I was reassigned to full duty, you know, not clerical duty.

Well, who do you want to ride with?

What do you mean? Bosco didn't talk to you about us partnering up again?

No. I wanted to get back in the field.

Yeah. Yeah, sure you did.

All I did was paperwork.

Paperwork? You hear that?

You hear that?

Paperwork. Well, there's a lot more than your damn paperwork out here, Jack. A

hell of a lot more. Did he show up yet?

Hey, where the heck have you been? What are you doing here?

Huh?

Huh?

What's going on? Hey, hey, what is this?

What are you doing here?

Hey, hey, hey!

You want to get shot?

Sit down, Billy, sit down. What the hell is wrong with you?

Sit down, sit down.

Be quiet, Kim.

Everybody just stay right where you are.

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Hey,

I got 11 minutes left, okay? And this is not going to end before that.

Just turned a homicide at Mancini's bar over the squad.

I think the dead guy is the owner. The squad's not sure what was taken yet.

Wait, Mancini's on green?

Yeah.

Bosco's mom works in that bar. I think Bosco said before a roll call his mom

doesn't work in the bar anymore.

Help me. I need help.

What? He was shooting.

He's got a gun. Who's got a gun? Doc. Doc. Doc. He's shooting. He's shooting.

the firehouse. He's shooting.

Is your name Baccarelli?

Who, you? You looking for Ali Nardo?

Where is he?

He said to bring you out back.

Be careful.

Hey, now!

Where's my mother? Hey, now!

Did you bring your friends with you? What did I tell you? I told you I'd come

alone. Yeah?

Just the same way you used my car. Get in and drive.

Where are we going? We've got some people to see. Just drive. Don't worry

where we're going.

Shut the door.

Tell the sergeant to start clearing the block.

It's quiet on the ground floor.

She doesn't look bad.

What kind of gun did he have?

I don't know. It was loud.

Are you sure you saw a gun?

No, I heard him shooting, and I heard him yell for no one to move. Who's Doc

we're talking about? Doc Parker?

Yes, Doc.

Parker! That's crazy.

Well, he really hasn't been around lately.

Where the hell is he? Can he get a gun?

Oh, guns are hard to get out.

Nobody's answering the phone.

Are they on a call? I called fire dispatch, and they're in quarters.

Their trucks are in the bay.

I told you!

How about we just do it by the book?

Sergeant? Has to be considered a hostage barricade unless we find out different.

What do you need? Get some shooters on the roof. Try to establish visual

contact.

And I want to take this slow.

Let's not escalate things if we don't have to. Yeah, well, putting shooters on

the roof sounds like escalation to me. Make yourself available to assist.

Sir, don't you want to just slow this whole thing down a little bit?

Assist ESU, Sully.

Drive until I tell you to turn.

Stupid. Even for you. Yeah, we'll see.

It's gonna end bad.

Not for me, it's not.

Look, take me to my mother, and we'll start talking about making this all go

away. I am making it go away, permanently.

Make a left at the light. Where are we going?

Make a left at the damn light! And shut up!

Okay, thanks.

The hostage negotiator's 20 minutes out.

I hope we have 20 minutes.

Boss.

Yeah? I may know what type of gun the medic had.

You do?

It might be my off -duty gun.

You understand what you've done?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm keeping them from closing the house just like I told you I would. You shot

an ant. Yeah, I had to. Had to. That's... You might need real help.

Sit down. Sit down.

You know what? None of you were going to do anything, okay?

And it takes action to get things done. Action!

Of course.

Well, that's shock, Jack, and you still got eight minutes left until help gets

here. Now, how's that feel?

Doc, listen to me.

Listen to me.

You need to let us treat him. It's got to be eight more minutes, and I thought

you'd understand.

All right, here's what I do understand.

I'm not letting this man die on the floor of my firehouse.

Hey, you better sit back down, Carlos. If he dies, you're a murderer. Doc, sit

down. You want to shoot me?

Shoot me. I'm telling you.

All right, take care.

Away from him.

Please don't.

Carlos, do not treat him.

You lost your gun and you didn't report it. It just happened this morning. I was

still looking for it. Why do you think this is the gun the paramedic has?

Because he was at my apartment last night.

Last night?

Yeah. He's your boyfriend?

No. She stays as far away from this as pot. He is not my boyfriend. She's not

leaving this building.

What's up here?

Let's move.

You're running out of time, Allie.

I don't know what's going down.

Still waiting to hear from him.

Where is he?

Where's Carmine?

This is your plan?

Where's Carmine? You're crazy coming here, Allie. With Carlo locked up, I

that Carmine's running things.

You're a dead man.

I ain't no rat. He'll tell you. Who's he?

I'm a New York City police officer.

He did this. A cop?

Carmine!

Carmine!

This cop.

He's the one that locked me up in front of Carlo and... You brought a cop here?

At gunpoint? Yeah, but nobody do nothing. Let him get the hell out of my

Listen to what he's got to say. Just listen to me for a second. Tell him what

happened.

He's not a rat.

You see?

This ain't got nothing to do with us. You heard what he said. It's all on that

crazy bastard.

Come on.

Tell him again. Listen.

If anything happens to him right now, he has my mother someplace.

And if she gets hurt because of this, that will be on you.

I ain't a rat.

I ain't a rat, Carmine.

They're going to kill you, Allie.

This ain't us, officer.

It ain't us.

Ralphie. Come on, Ralphie. You know. Calm.

Come on.

You know me. You guys know I wouldn't rat Mr. Spagnuolo out like that.

Allie. Allie.

Let's go.

I'm not a rat, Carmine.

Don't make me do this, Carlos.

Let me tell you what.

Quiet.

We need to get some saline in him.

Bring up his pressure.

Don't do it, Kim.

Don't.

Look, I have to make him see.

He sees, all right?

Get some saline and pressure dressing, quick.

You're ruining it.

I almost have him.

Almost.

I have the shot.

Take the shot.

Stop! Get down!

I'm not sure I got him. Doc!

Wait!

Doc!

The situation has changed.

There appears to be a uniformed NYPD officer in the building. The subject is

running to the third floor.

Uniformed? You can't get high enough to get a view of the third floor.

This is the 5 -5 platoon commander, Central. I want a status check on all

uniformed officers assigned to this hostage job, forthwith.

Take me to my mother.

I wanted to make you a player and you wouldn't play.

How hard is it for you to be like every other cop in the city?

Where is she?

Not even legal what you do. You lied.

You took me in for nothing and it made me look like a rat. Just wake up.

You're out of time.

How is that right, huh? How do you get around everybody and break the law?

At least in my business we have respect and honor. You're just a thug who's seen

the Godfather too many times. Yeah?

Yeah. And what do you do, huh? What do you do? What do I do? Yeah. I do right.

That's funny. That's real damn funny that you do right.

You know they're going to kill you.

But you told them I wasn't a rat.

If the situation were reversed, would you believe Carmine?

That's the world you live in, Allie.

Mistrust, paranoia, not honor and respect.

You're going to kill me. The only ones who survived are the ones who played

smart. Smart? Yeah, you weigh your options and you make the hard choice.

No.

This is where your life is always headed, Allie.

Prison, a box, or witness protection.

No way.

No way. I'll get you with OCCB. You start talking. You talk yourself all the

to a little split level in Iowa. That's all you got left.

Doc did that?

Not the doc we know.

How many shots did he fire?

Four. You sure?

Four.

All right, get him out of here. We need to stabilize him.

Where'd you...

She's inside? She's inside. She's okay.

She's a tough lady. Reminds me of my mother. She's inside here. Mom, I'm in

here.

I'm going to get you out. It's all right. Hold on, Mom.

You all right?

You all right? You all right?

No, no. Are you all right? I can't do no witness protection.

Sullivan went inside.

I don't know.

Don't play games with me, Davis.

Let's just give him a few minutes. If he can talk out of there.

All he's done is given him another heart to chew.

Well, got them out.

Give him a few minutes, boss.

She's got nothing to do with this, honey.

You ruined my life. She's got nothing to do with this. You ruined my life. Let

her leave.

Go ahead.

I'm not leaving.

Get out of here. Go.

Walk away.

Go. Don't hurt him.

Get out of here. Don't you hurt him. Get out of here now.

Mom? Now!

We talked about this, Allie. No.

Witness protection's all you got left. No.

I ain't no rat.

It's not that bad.

Not that bad?

My father was a lieutenant in this Magnolia family.

You know what this is gonna do to the memory of him? This is about you, Allie!

This is about your father! Everything's about my father!

You kill me, your life's over. My life is already over.

I went to the funeral.

A hundred.

A family.

I didn't know them.

I never was in the field.

I'm losing it, Paul.

It's all over.

I only know how to work an album.

But the numbers don't balance that.

They never balance.

I didn't die with them.

Came out of the field to die?

Come on, Cap, stay with us. Come on, come on.

Come on, focus.

Get his legs up.

You were right.

You were right about my arms.

Witness protection, man. That's all you got left. Witness protection is never

going to happen.

It's never going to happen, so forget it.

I need you to do something for me.

What?

Tell him I didn't take the deal.

That I went out like a man.

Can you do that?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I got a gun, Sully.

You know, I'm betting you're not going to hurt me.

That shot's deeper, you know.

Yeah, I know. I was hoping you'd come downstairs with me and talk about that.

No.

I don't want to talk anymore. I'm tired.

Me too, buddy.

I never used to get tired.

You know, I could just do double shifts, triple shifts. As long as I was out

doing the work, I could go forever.

I guess we ain't as young as we used to be, huh?

Not so much age anymore. It's just deeper, you know. It's like a

way down tired.

How about you give me that gun now, Doc?

Huh?

What would you do if I shot at you right now?

You won't.

Will you shoot me?

That's not going to happen, Doc.

I'd love to sleep.

But my brain, it won't

stop thinking.

We're going to take care of you.

I don't get taken care of, okay?

I take care of people.

Right, okay.

Okay. I don't need you to take care of me.

Doc.

Sorry.

But... I can't take care of him anymore, can I?

You took care of me.

Right?

In the woods, remember?

Right when I needed you most, you were there.

In the cabin.

Right?

If I can't take care of them anymore, I... But you can.

You just need a little rest.

You said it yourself.

Right? It's time to rest, Doc.

But you gotta give me that gun.

It was that kid.

That damn kid.

Yeah.

I took his collar off and he was paralyzed because of me. Okay.

We all make mistakes.

Taylor wasn't Eugene's fault.

Taylor. It was me. It wasn't Eugene.

It was me because I made her work the bus that day. Doc, Taylor was an

Everybody knows that. You remember that day, Sully?

Yeah, it was an accident. No.

No, not that day.

The day.

The equipment was set by the river.

We checked and double -checked our bags because we had

the triage set, you know?

And we were ready for people.

We were ready to help.

Nobody came.

Nobody.

I remember thinking that they can't all be dead.

I mean, not everybody.

And then all we could do was pick

body parts from the rubble.

That's not why I'm here, Sully.

I mean, I'm here to save lives, you know?

And if this house is gone, then people are gonna die.

And I can't let that happen.

I mean... I can't let it happen.

You understand that, right?

You understand what I'm saying? I can't let more people die.

Yeah, I see, Doc.

I see.

No one's gonna die today.

Huh?

Everything's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you some help.

You're never going to be alone.

And I will be right there by your side every step of the way.

All right?

It's okay, buddy.

Hey.

Is your mom okay?

Not for lack of me trying.

Monroe said that your mom was already involved with those people.

There were joker poker machines in her bar.

I wouldn't call it involved.

But she's all right.

Yeah, she's all right.

Thanks.

Listen, I gotta get up and talk to the detectives. I talked to Sworsky about us

partnering up.

Yeah.

He said that you never even mentioned it.

Yeah. You don't want to be with me, Faith.

It's not a matter of want.

I can't do it.

I can't handle the responsibility anymore. What responsibility?

You, for whether or not you get hurt. You don't have to be responsible for me.

For partners, yes, I am. Look, I'm going to do my job exactly the way that I did

it before that day.

That means with you in 55 David.

I just I don't think it's such a good idea. I'm not asking you That's my car

I'm gonna be with you in it tomorrow

Do

I

really have to wear the cuffs for your protection We walk out that door, there

can't be any doubt you're in custody.

This is 55 Charlie.

I have the subject in custody and we're coming out the front door now.

Roger that, Charlie.

Can you get my tie out of my jacket?

Yeah, sure.

I don't think they're going to close it now.

What, this house?

Yeah.

No way.

No way they're going to close this house.

You saved it.

weapons. He's in custody.

How's people, Lieutenant?

Hospital says he's going to make it.

Yeah.

Carlos and Kim, they're good medics.

That was good too, Sully.

Best ever.

I'm going to miss it.
