Original subtitles

Previously on Third Watch. I'm just taking the LSATs to challenge my partner

do it. Fred,

will you please stop being mad at me? I'm not mad at you, Faith.

Really.

We got to play by the rules we've jagged off the set up. No, we don't. Yes, we

do. If you want to win.

I usually don't move that quickly.

Oh, then neither do I.

I can't find my off -duty gun.

Oh, you're kidding.

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

still looking for it.

I made a mistake, and I am not here to argue that.

But Monty Parker stealing my gun was... The man has been a loyal and

trusted member of the FDNY, or at least had been. You can ask anyone, not just

me.

Who could have seen this coming?

Not you, apparently.

But are we appealing the medic's case or this officer's suspension?

Captain, I get the automatic 30. I know it's a matter of policy, but to not get

to tell my side of what happened? I mean, you have my file in front of you.

at my record. It is spotless. This is the first mistake that I've made of any

kind. I do my job. I do it damn well, strictly by the book. Forgive me,

but I get a little dubious when I hear first mistake and by the book.

It's the truth. Really? So you can honestly say that you have never bent

rules on this job?

Not even once?

You screwed up. You take your lumps.

You didn't say a damn thing.

You were doing fine.

How'd it go? Fine? You call that fine?

Captain has a point, Sasha. Your suspension isn't a judgment call. It's

mandatory and automatic.

Yeah, well, it shouldn't be. There's always circumstances, right?

Davis, please, look.

We took a shot. You know, one spot on your record, even one as big as this,

shouldn't hurt you too much down the road. In a few years... In a few years?

No one will even remember, let alone care what happened. I'll care, and I'll

remember. Look.

I'm late downtown.

You've got two more weeks left to serve. Use them.

Clear your head. You know, maybe a night out, a few drinks.

You're late downtown, Marty. Yeah, I gotta go. Hang in there, kid. You'll be

right. A few drinks.

Davis, you seen Yolkis?

No. Oh, hey, you're back.

No. Oh, just as well. It's been a bad couple of weeks, David, to tell you.

Nice seeing you, too. Just go easy, man. She's having a hard time. Oh, yeah?

Have her take a number.

Sit the street, counselor.

Big day tomorrow.

Step it up, Levine.

Oh, man.

I do not like the looks we're getting.

Billy, okay, all of us. It's like we're guests in our own house.

That was super, not those guys. Have they invited us back in yet?

Yeah, a week ago.

What?

No one told me.

It was so much funnier watching you freeze your ass off. Oh, nice.

Nothing I like more than a good joke at my expense.

Bet your long johns can stand up on their own now, huh?

What is that?

Oh, that's an eight and a half.

You okay to work?

I'm gonna have to be.

Rita.

Okay.

Can

we

help you?

Samantha Roy, Clay.

Is Lieutenant Walsh around?

You're looking at him, Broby. John David Hart, reporting for duty, sir.

Friends call me J .D.

You seem rested and ready, John David.

Not really.

I was actually... Right.

Sorry. I'm a little slow in the morning.

Ten to three.

Locker's on the top floor.

Thanks.

Thirty frickin' days. Is he crazy?

Come on.

What are you doing?

You all right, miss?

Somebody call the police. You damn people got slowed down.

Ma 'am? Ma 'am?

Can you hear me?

Hey, you!

Call an ambulance. I'm a police officer.

If A is selected, B must be selected. If either C or D is selected, both C and D

must be selected.

If E is selected, D can... It's damn analytical reasoning.

I don't like no rhyme or reasoning.

I think it's A.

I'm going to go with C.

I think it's D.

D.

D. Nice.

I think I'm screwed.

Move it along, ladies.

Hey. Running silent, running deep. We got our radios on.

LSA cheese in the morning.

Are you really going to go through with it? We're going to try.

Just what the world needs.

I think it's great knowing what you want and going for it.

I could go for a cheeseburger right about now.

I guess that means you go hungry, pal.

And we go unprepared.

Bye -bye, David, responding.

Bye -bye, Sally.

You got to get back, man. You got to help me.

You got to get somebody out of the car. Somebody.

We're going

to

need a hurricane. You can't got it. Go help with the hose line. Go. Now.

Two more in the air, don't blow up unconscious.

Keep this on your head.

Don't let her move around.

Don't move around.

Levine, over here.

What's this boy doing in the front seat, lady?

Hope you're not waiting for a response.

I think his neck is broken.

I'll radio mercy to have a trauma team standing by.

Come on.

Let's get him out of here.

All right. Get that backboard in here.

All right. Nice and easy. Are they going to be okay?

Hey, Davis, get her out of here.

Somebody just tell me something.

I need to know. It's going to be okay.

Let's go.

Come on.

Stay down. No, stay down. It's okay.

It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine.

It's gonna be fine.

Ready? One, two...

Well, no way.

Oh, right.

You know, she said she was a cop.

Yeah, she'll be subject to the same scrutiny as any other accident victim,

Uh -huh. So she's the victim now.

I'm going to need the two of you to stick around and get a statement from

all right?

I got nowhere to be.

You got to get it right. I'm sure we'll do the best we can, ma 'am. There's no

time to wait for another bus. We'll take her to the RMP.

You guys handle it?

Yeah, I think we can handle it. Is Monroe all right?

It depends on your definition.

No, no run a VTAC.

Hang on kid.

Hang on

You're all right Sasha, just try to relax.

Driving, and I just looked away for a second. I don't know what happened.

That's all it takes, I guess.

All right, hang on back there.

All right.

And the next thing, I hear tires squealing. A bang -o, she's plowing

that car like it ain't even there.

And did you see any other vehicles?

There weren't any other vehicles I saw.

Well, right up on her back bumper. There wasn't another car around.

Okay. You have a phone number, address, in case we need to contact you once

we're ready?

0 -6 -4 -2.

Look, we're not going to be in touch with you. This is just for the record.

Good. Because I'm not one to get involved.

I can see that.

Thanks for your help.

Approximately six -year -old boy, front seat, child, seat versus airbag, GCSF4

on seams, probable lower extremities fracture.

Okay, trauma room one, we have a kid ready.

Early 30s female, LOC resolved with O2, heavy smoke on T and BP, 116 over 74.

Put her in trauma four.

Not you too, Monroe.

Is everything going to be okay? She was in the same NBA.

We had to get her here. Couldn't wait for another bus.

Trauma three.

All right. Is that the boy in there?

Sasha. Is he going to be all right? Come on.

Who'd figure Monroe for a lead foot anyway?

Why? What should they look like?

I don't know. I'll get the insurance card.

Hey, you see many fires start like this in the trunk?

Not really.

Then again, I haven't seen that many fires.

What are you, new?

Do I know you?

I don't think so.

Faith Yocas?

How you doing?

A trunk fire usually means it's been hit a bunch, right?

No surprise who looks at this heap.

Yo, P .D., you want to stop distracting my guy?

What, distract one of New York's bravest? Is that even possible?

I'll see you later.

Friends, can you finish up here?

Um, anterior dislocation. I can relocate this now if you can stand the pain, but

I'd rather give you something first.

Okay.

Can you see anything out there? What's going on?

I'm working on it.

No.

She wasn't drinking, Lou.

And this should have been done at the scene.

Put any question to rest here and now, Sasha. Cover your back.

Deep breath, Sasha.

Doc, you took blood away?

She's on a mild sedative now, but I saw no evidence of prior impairment.

Witnesses? Bosco and Yocas were getting stings when we left.

Zero, zero.

Not a drop.

Good. Your union rep's on his way.

So, what's Hill gonna do?

IAB's on their way, too.

Fine, they can come and do whatever they want to do to me. I don't care.

What do you remember?

Not much.

Not much is not gonna be enough for IAB.

I'm sorry, boss. I really... She's in no condition to talk. Let's just put off

IAB for now.

All right, let me make a few calls.

You got the other driver's statement?

I was just about to try.

I might need you to sign a waiver saying you refused treatment at the scene. We

gotta do that now?

Yeah. I'll sign it.

How bad is the mother?

Um, well, she's gonna be here a few more days.

What was his name?

There's no reason to put yourself through that, Tom. This is all my fault.

should at least know his name.

Miles.

That's what she kept saying in the bus.

Miles? Look, she's blaming herself.

It was that lamppost that blew the airbags, and that's what killed him.

No.

It was me.

I'm finished here, Lou.

Mind if I'm back in five?

Where are you going?

Across the street to see if I could find that copyocast.

Something about that accent. You missed it already, huh?

What's that?

I read your file. You're hardly the first cop to make the jump.

After all, that job sucks. This job's great, right?

Yeah. Right.

Billy, you got a phone call.

Take a radio.

Okay.

Tuck that shirt in.

Look at me. Ma 'am, I know this is hard, but if you could... I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe you should try again later.

Yeah, like tomorrow.

I'm so sorry.

Anything?

She's out of it, as you'd expect.

I thought she was blaming herself.

Yeah, sure, kid in the front seat, just going to the store, school, what could

happen? And she has to slam her brakes.

Miss hitting a cat, pothole, whatever. Excuse me.

I got a call about my wife and son. They were in an accident.

Name's Friar. Yes. We were just about to move your wife to a room upstairs.

What about my son?

This way, please.

Where's Miles?

Oh, that's brutal.

Yeah.

I suppose you feel much like studying right now. I really don't. Thank God you

found him.

Found who? The husband.

Wife had no ID, no papers. Couldn't get a phone number on her.

I would not.

Let's go on yoga, Mr.

Notified. You wouldn't have brought him in?

Is that the mother?

Hey, she shouldn't be up.

Can I go see her?

Please,

I just want to go in and apologize to her. Not right now.

She's good to go?

I want to go in there. Sasha, another time, okay?

There's somebody at home that can look after her.

We'll see you outside.

The kid died?

Your mom must be freaking out.

I know I would.

You got to visit her, Yoko.

Hey. Somebody steal your bag of kitty litter?

It's funny.

It's just something I noticed at the scene after you left.

Why don't you come in? No, no, I can't. The car had no brake lights.

No, no, bulbs, I mean.

At first I thought they were burned up by the fire, but then I saw the sockets

were empty altogether.

So Monroe had no warning to stop.

Yeah, but why would a driver take out his brake light bulb?

That's what struck me weird.

What, you're a cop now?

This might help Monroe insurance -wise, but it's like I said, you know, whatever

it's worth.

I hear about Monroe. Is she okay?

But you only just heard?

Yeah. I see it.

Well, thanks for coming in. We appreciate it.

You gotta be kidding me.

Cruz, hey.

What do you know?

I know everything.

No, you only think you do.

What are you, two old pals?

Very. So you ended up here, huh?

FDNY took in your sorry ass?

Don't they have strong feelings about loyalty over there? Yeah, that'd keep

out, I guess.

You son of a bitch.

What was? You son of a bitch. That's what I said. I said son of a bitch.

Hart, easy.

Come on. What the hell's wrong with you? Always the class back, Maritza. Like

you don't know, bitch.

Oh, go on. Go back to your fire boys. They know you over there.

J .D. Hart, people.

In the flesh.

Officer Heartless of the 5 -1 South Bronx. You know the name.

Heartless the rat.

Bitch of the Bronx.

What the hell's all the yelling? It's over, boss.

Oh, no, it ain't over. That punk ass ratted out my entire team on some BS

and comes off smelling like he did his civic duty.

And then I got these two over here acting all buddy -buddy in my own damn

Don't put your hand in my face again.

What?

Or what?

Yeah, what? You want some more what? All right, knock it off.

Both of you.

All I'm saying is the rat doesn't come near the precinct again.

Monique?

What, you're not home?

No, she's taking my nephew to the zoo tomorrow and I forgot.

She's staying at my mom's house.

We should call him.

No.

Session. Call him and say what? Can you come home because I just killed

somebody? Well, it was an accident. There are no accidents. What are you

about?

Nothing.

The doctor said you shouldn't be alone.

I'm fine.

Is that them?

Yeah, that's my family. It's my sister and her boy, Drew.

You sure? You don't want to call them?

You need anything?

Not right now.

Okay.

I should let you go.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Sully's waiting for you.

He can wait.

Why don't you lay down?

I gotta get out of these clothes.

Right. Yeah.

Okay.

You'll wait.

Yeah, I'll wait.

Sully.

Yeah? Your sister's not here. I'm going to stay, all right?

What do you mean you're going to stay?

The ship's almost over. You can sign me out.

Yeah, of course, but are you sure?

I can't leave her alone.

No, but we got this test tomorrow.

Right, okay.

It's 8 a .m. You want a wake -up call?

No, I don't need one. I'll be there.

All right, I'll see you there.

Yeah.

Sasha?

Hey.

Come on, we're going to wait.

I don't want to know.

Oh, crap.

I got to go.

I got to go. I got the LSAT in like 45 minutes.

That's today?

Yeah.

Damn it. Still got to stop by home.

You can shower here if you want.

No, I got to change and grab some things.

Do you remember why you looked away?

Looked away?

Yeah, last night on the way to the hospital, you said you looked away for a

second.

There was a car behind me.

Two of them.

And they started honking at each other and...

I

got distracted.

And they didn't stop when you hit?

Life in the big city.

Yeah.

Look, I left my number on the kitchen table if you need anything.

All right?

You gonna be okay?

You bet.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't really know what to say.

Me neither.

What are you gonna do today?

I was thinking maybe I'd go and talk to my pastor.

Sounds like the right thing to do.

That's what I always do, huh?

I really gotta go.

Hang in there, all right?

Why'd you take notes, my friend?

Or I could just stick to dish duty.

Hey, Broby.

Get your ass down here.

Guessing this would be you.

I... What the hell? I don't know.

You don't know? Look, kid, if you've got enemies... I don't. Then who do you

know with balls enough to tag a firehouse?

to take part one of the test.

After that, we will pass your answer sheet up front and we will proceed to

part two for which you will be allotted one hour.

We will then take a 30 -minute break for lunch and then reconvene to begin part

three of the exam.

There will be no discussion of any kind during the test.

Two, three years ago, it was big news.

IAB put a squeeze on this kid and a bunch of bad cops went down. I think one

even killed himself.

And I guess Cruz was somehow in the middle of it. Like that's some big

I don't want to talk about her.

I'm not talking about her. I'm talking about the kid.

And your subject.

I tell you, Pete Evans got laid off.

Yeah? After 16 years.

He's got all of us wondering.

I don't think he'd do that to a guy like Pete.

Speaking of Ross, I was at home with his son yesterday due to this officer's

gross negligence.

It is my intention to prove that Officer Monroe was driving recklessly and well

beyond the speed limit when her car... Charlie's waiting downstairs, Don.

please. I'm trying to look into this.

killed young Miles, and seriously injured the bereaved mother, Josephine.

Whatever. I can assure you, the police department and this officer... Hey, it's

me. Are you watching this?

Turn on New York One.

Just when you think it can't get any worse.

Say that again.

My soul, my body, and I hunger for the loving arms of your

embrace.

I walk along the lonely road.

I walk along the lonely road.

My pack is stronger.

I carry the load.

Don't cry.

In time I'll pay the debt that's owed I'll walk along the lonely road

Too much time thinking about everything that went

wrong I cry my eyes out every time I hear your song

I hope this town leads me back where I belong

I'll walk along the lonely road

Walk along the lonely road.

My back is strong.

I carry the load.

On the grind in time, I'll tame the dead that's old.

I walk along the lonely road.

Are we clear?

With all the heat coming down from this Monroe thing, the last thing I need is

more battles between you and Sergeant Cruz.

Well, shouldn't you be telling her this? Don't worry. She'll hear it exactly the

same when she gets in.

I thought my head was going to explode. What's up, Lou? Sir.

Hey, brainiac.

How'd it go?

Don't ask.

Tough. Really tough.

Anybody talk to Monroe? I couldn't get her on the phone. I heard something

about...

Yeah,

like I said, it's not right.

I don't need you writing smack about me on the firehouse. What are you talking

about? Don't even bother denying it.

Oh, look, I would waste one second of my day to write something about your ratty

ass. When are you going to give it up, Cruz?

Can you own up to what you did? I told the truth, Maritza. Your version of the

truth. The only one I knew. I wasn't going to lie for anybody.

I mean, for Johnny Boy, huh? If Johnny couldn't live with what he did, it was

his problem.

He couldn't live with what you did to him. He couldn't live with the disgrace.

He was too proud to go to jail. Well, he wasn't too proud to steal money,

though, was he?

He was my guy. I would love to see that. That's enough.

First, keep Cruz away from my people. Talk to your boy there, Walsh. I intend

to. Go. Let's go.

I love that man.

Nah, that's okay.

I don't want to order anything. Thanks. Yeah.

One's a pizzeria. The other one's disconnected.

Phone numbers for both your witnesses.

You check your addresses?

No, I wouldn't bother. Car's registered and insured in the husband's name. He's

got to be the worst driver in town.

Fixed rear -end collisions in the last year and a half.

Well, there's your fire in the trunk.

It's obvious insurance fraud. Large supporting cast.

What kind of mother would do something like that with her own kid in the car?

Why don't we go over and ask her?

Let's do it.

The DA tapped me. I was the rookie.

I only told the grand jury what I saw. I didn't even know what it was.

I thought they were processing drug money.

I didn't know anyone was pocketing it. Wait, Cruz was pocketing it? See, that's

what's crazy. She wasn't. It was her partner, Johnny Hoyle, and about six

others.

I thought my testimony was harmless.

Turns out it supported the Fed's case a lot more than the cops.

Johnny shot himself before I went to trial.

Cruz never got over it.

And hey, if that makes me a rat... Why are you a fireman now?

The same reason I wanted to be a cop.

To help people.

Protect and serve.

Well, you got a lot to learn.

Like stay the hell away from Cruz.

I can do that.

We'll see.

Josephine Friar, I'm Officer Yocas, and this is Officer Boscarelli.

First of all, ma 'am, we want to tell you how sorry we are for your loss.

What do you want?

We just need to get a statement from you concerning the accident.

Statement? It wasn't even there.

No, we know that. We just need to fill in a few blanks.

Do you remember why it was that you stopped so abruptly?

Do you have any memory of any other vehicle that could have been involved?

How about your son?

Can you tell us why he was sitting in the front seat?

Because I thought that he would be safer there, next

to me.

Can you tell us who notified you about the accident?

Who notified me?

Yeah, someone called to tell you about your wife and son. Was it the hospital?

Yeah, the hospital. Why? Well, that's weird. They say they couldn't locate

We know our guys didn't contact you either, so... Really? That is weird. I

thought it was a hospital. You sure?

I couldn't have him sitting in back so close to... I

didn't think about the airbag.

You were checking into your driving history, too.

Evidently, Andy, that car's been bad luck for you, huh?

I want to see my wife.

So close to what, Josephine?

You couldn't have your son sitting so close to where you knew you were going

get hit?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How are you doing? You can't talk to her. I'm

our lawyer. I don't, Andy. Don't. Be quiet, Josie. We all know what this is,

Andy. Let's not pretend that we don't. We're going to know why you did it.

We vote him money.

Who? Josie, don't. Don't what, Andy? Look what we've lost. What more can they

take from us?

What you talking about, Andy?

I got in some trouble a while back.

Ran up some serious debts.

We've been doing this to pay it off.

He told me we could make more money with my son in the car.

It wasn't supposed to be that bad. It was just a little bump, you know, like a

fender bender.

I mean, he promised that the guys wouldn't be driving so fast.

The guy's pushing behind Monroe.

We still don't know who he is.

Name's Elliot.

He's an insurance adjuster.

He does the filing, coronates everybody, even hiring a lawyer was his idea.

We had to go along.

We owe so much.

Well, you get to pay him back now.

Do you believe in God, Ty?

Sometimes. I do.

More than ever.

And he knows me, too. He knows he can always count on me to be the good girl,

do the right thing.

But lately, I don't know. I've been leaning into this gray area. I mean, I

Bosco put a gangster in the ground by playing it a little dirty.

And I just thought, you know, maybe he'd understand because I've been good for

so long. Maybe he would just give a sister a pass.

And then I hook up with Doc and he takes my gun and he shoots a man.

And then yesterday I go for my appeal and I get completely dipped.

And I'm driving down the street and I'm angry.

And then right on cue I crash my car.

That little boy.

And now you're telling me that this was a setup?

That it was an accident that found me that didn't have to happen, but it did.

God is watching, Ty, and he sees everything. And he's letting me know

knows that I'm bending the rules and he's not happy about it.

He's not happy at all.

Easy, Walsh. I'm not Cruz.

Not too long, huh? What's up?

I just wanted to let you know that your missing tail light story helped us to

bag an insurance fraud scheme.

Really? Yeah, the DA's booking the guy behind it all as we speak.

I hope you're not looking at me to testify.

No more of that for you, huh?

Yeah, not if I can help it.

Well, uh, nice to know.

And listen, that thing, uh, with Cruz.

Yeah. She probably has less fans in the department than you do.

Yeah.

Maybe. Well, either way, you're all right in my book.

Thank you.
