Previously on Third Watch.

You know who Captain Finney is? Yeah.

Rendon's father. So he thinks he killed my dad.

Who's down here? I just needed to put a file back, sir.

1983. They confessed.

To a murder. What do you need?

I'm not gonna have your back on this. You don't have to. Yo, wait. What

happened? I'm gonna blow your heads off. You alright?

It was 15 minutes in the bathroom, Finney. Get over yourself.

I don't look familiar.

Can't say that you do.

Killed my dad.

Maybe you didn't do anything because you had something to do with his death.

You don't talk to me like that.

Wait a minute. I saw this yesterday.

The one they wanted you to be.

I had to give this to David.

He was who he was.

Deal with it.

I'm going to be dirty.

What difference can it possibly make now? It makes a difference to me.

I mean, what was I supposed to say? Let's go have some lunch. Oh, yeah, and

the way, your dad had a second family. Is that how I was supposed to put it?

Your dad was laying right there, shot in the head.

What kind of details you want, I don't have.

comfortable?

How's your ma?

No kidding, right?

I've been stuck here listening to her by myself a few times.

I gotta tell you, anybody that would do that more than once is a good friend.

I'm sorry.

I won't make you laugh.

I actually wanted to apologize for not coming by more often, but my lawyer said

it would be best if...

I was at home when I wasn't working because the court's going to send

by to do a home inspection unannounced.

My divorce lawyer.

Fred's initiating it.

You believe it?

After all we've been through?

It's stupid.

It means the jack off.

Whatever.

I got my job and I got my place.

You know what? Truthfully, I'd probably be better off without him.

You're right with no prize.

But I think if I lose Emily or Charlie, I think that'll kill me.

You mean lose him?

Well, that's the reason the court was coming to the home inspection.

Fred. suing me for custody.

And my lawyer said that things don't look so good for me because the court

people, they had to come like three times. The first two times I wasn't

I'd just been so busy at work.

They said that Emily can decide for herself because she's old enough. But

judge thinks that Charlie will probably stay with Fred.

I guess... I guess I just worked too many hours to be a good mom.

I forgot how many personal things I tell you.

I guess I forgot how much I talk to you, you know, because you weren't there for

me to talk to.

What's this? The gun that was used to kill my dad was taken from an NYPD

evidence locker.

Did you know that?

How about this? The apartment he was shot from was registered to the NYPD.

Where'd you get that? Capital Finney, my dad, and you were all under IAB

investigation.

They were running surveillance on you. What, you were unaware of that?

They seized your bank accounts. Where'd you get this stuff? You told me that you

didn't come forward back then because you wanted to make sure my mom got the

pension. Maybe the real reason was you were dirty too.

And I don't know what's worse, you standing by and doing nothing when they

murdered my father or blaming the fact that you didn't do anything about it on

my family.

You're a coward.

Never get used to it, Jelly. Only meeting people after they're already

really.

Looks like a bruise on her jaw.

Blunt force head wound.

With no apparent weapon, what do you think, robbery?

Nah, still has her jewelry on.

Her clothes are intact.

It's probably not a rape.

Who called the thing? Father and son play in the park, found the body, and

reported it to the field house.

Any other witnesses?

No, we've been canvassing the park, but same old story. No one saw a thing.

Anybody go through the knapsack yet?

Nobody's disturbed the crime scene since we arrived.

It's not my first day, detective.

Carver High School, Talia Bukhari.

Bukhari? It's Muslim or something.

Or something.

Hey, Stella, you mind going over to Carver High, see if anybody knows Talia

Bukhari? Sure, we'll try to screw that up for you.

What's up with us?

Disappointed how it turned out.

I will turn down.

Life.

Chief Bracken Ernie.

I'm a police officer.

I work in the 5 -5.

Ty Davis.

Dave. I think you know my mother. She said if I ever need anything, I can come

talk to you. Of course, of course. Ty Davis Jr.

Yeah. Just a little.

Oh, my God.

Well, is there anything I can do for you?

I've been investigating my father's murder.

Isn't the perp already in prison?

Yeah, he is.

Yes, I've uncovered some evidence that my father was set up.

Set up?

By other cops.

Guys he was working with at the time.

Mainly, uh... Captain Finney.

He's the head of IAB right now.

Evidence? An old IAB file.

Solid.

And for some reason, the IAB detective who was doing the investigation was...

Pressure to drop it.

What do you expect to come from it?

I want the truth.

I'm glad you came to me.

And just give me a copy of the file that you have, and we're going to start from

there. Really? Absolutely.

Thank you, sir. All right.

Now, look, you just keep this between us, you understand?

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

And you say hi to your mother for me now. Will do. Will do.

Thanks again, sir. My pleasure.

Vinnie?

Mrs. Bukhari?

Yes? I'm Detective Yogus. I know this is Detective Grimaldi.

May we speak to you inside?

Where's Talia? Ma 'am, may we come in, please?

Where is she?

Leon!

You need to see a doctor.

What's wrong?

I said a doctor.

Your name's thrown on your jacket, so I'm guessing that means you aren't one.

Care to guess what happens if I don't think you need a doctor? Hey, I broke my

arm. Ah!

Septiformity under the skin and swelling.

Probably right ulnar fracture.

That's what I said.

We have to take him to Mercy. He needs x -rays.

Follow me.

Where? To the ambulance.

I got to walk?

Aren't you supposed to put me on a bed or something?

Or we could just take them to central detention. They got a first aid station

there run by prisoners.

Is that what you want?

Hey, I'm walking.

I'm walking. Come on.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Where is she?

Um, well, right now they're going to take her to the morgue.

Why? It's the law.

No. Because after a homicide, they have to do an autopsy. No autopsy. We're

Muslim. I understand. I'm very sorry.

She's my daughter.

I know that, sir, and I apologize.

It is my religion.

Can I see her?

No, ma 'am, not right now.

You're going to tear her body apart, and we can't even see her?

I have a daughter myself, Mrs.

Bukhari, and I'll make sure that they take good care of her. But your

not dead.

No, sir. So you really can't mention her in this context, can you?

Maybe we could get a list of Talia's friends.

She concentrated on her schoolwork. She was very focused.

Did she have a boyfriend?

No. There were no boys.

Do you have any problems with anyone, any enemies?

She's a Muslim living in America.

Everybody is her enemy, aren't they?

So are you suggesting that this is a bias crime?

We can't get on a plane without being profiled.

We can't worship at the Islamic Center because of the bomb threats.

We stopped going there because we didn't want to put her in harm's way.

And now my daughter is beaten to death.

And you ask my opinion as to whether there is bias?

Her parents are free. I mean, she never hangs out.

She must have friends.

No, her parents don't let her.

I mean, I remember that one time I went to her house to pick her up for school.

Her father had... So, no friends?

Most of the girls were jealous of her anyway.

She's only going out with, like, the hottest guy in school.

Oh, yeah? What's his name?

Christopher Hayden.

Football jack.

A boyfriend?

No, the parents said no boys.

Well, imagine that, a teenager hiding something from their parents.

All right, listen, can you bring him down to the house and we can question

we get back?

All right.

Thanks, Sasha.

So what do we know about Talia Bukhari?

Well, she died of a massive brain hemorrhage from a skull fracture caused

blunt object.

Did she suffer?

Excuse me?

And did it take her a long time to die? Well, not many detectives are interested

in whether the victim suffered or not. Most times they prefer not to think

that. But I'm sure she was unconscious almost immediately.

Can you send us the autopsy photos we took with her? Yep.

Oh, there's one more thing.

She was approximately eight weeks pregnant.

Hey, Sasha, what's up?

Hey, so the boyfriend's upstairs.

His name's Christopher Hayden. Star quarterback for Carver High.

They hate quarterbacks.

Spoken like a true fellow defensive lineman.

Yeah, we tried to bring him in alone, but the father insisted on coming in

him. How old is he? He's 18.

The father can take a walk.

I don't think that's going to go over too well with him. We'll see about that.

Do you guys have a time of death?

Yeah, give or take a few hours of the afternoon.

Because the girl that told us about him, Pamela Stewart, says they were in an

SAT prep class all afternoon.

Thanks, Sasha.

Yeah, I'm going to be here working on the 61.

She's dead?

You were a couple?

We used to go out.

I thought we talked about not dating until after football season in your

It was just for a little while.

Not dating means not dating.

Mr. Hayden, I really need to be the one asking the questions here, okay?

Is he charged with a crime?

Would you like him to be?

Christopher, why'd you break up?

Her father didn't want her to date me.

Why's that?

He didn't like that I was American. She wasn't American?

Mr. Hayden, I'm gonna ask you again.

Did you argue about that, about breaking up?

No.

She was fine with it?

It was mutual. Really, that's odd, because usually when you're two months

pregnant, your boyfriend breaks up with you, it doesn't go over so good.

What?

Pregnant? Is she saying Christopher's the father?

She ain't saying anything anymore.

You knew?

Yeah.

Detective Grimaldi, why don't you take Mr. Hayden here and show him where the

coffee pot is? I'm not leaving. Yeah, you are.

My son wants an attorney. No more questions.

You want a lawyer, Christopher?

I'm all right, Dad. He's an adult. Let's go. You want to get locked up for

obstructing? Come on.

My father would kill me if he knew this, but we were going to run away together.

Really? When?

I don't know. She was scared.

Of what?

Her father.

He'd be pretty mad, huh?

No, he'd kill her.

Literally. She told me if he found out about the baby, it would bring dishonor

on them all, and he'd have to get rid of her. Rid of her? She said killing her

would be the only way to bring back the family honor. I guess they do it all the

time where they're from.

Hey, Sharon, you got a minute?

Yeah, what's up?

Got a hypothetical for you.

Officer investigating the murder of a fellow officer.

Murder that occurred, say, 20 years earlier.

Okay. Well, the officer discovers that the murdered officer was set up.

Another cop actually put a hit out on him.

Sounds like front -page news.

Yeah.

Well, what if a cop that was there came forward now, you know, to open up the

case?

Well, first I'd have to wonder why he didn't come forward 20 years ago.

The dead cop was dirty, and he was afraid if he opened up an investigation

the widow would lose the pension.

I see.

Is the cop who wants to testify dirty, too?

No.

Well, I can say it's enough to pursue a case.

In terms of a trial, obviously it would help to have evidence or corroborating

testimony from anyone else who would have seen this go down.

Right.

Okay.

One more thing, Tully.

You should tell your friend that if he comes forward now, he might also face

charges because he kept this a secret for 20 years. That makes him somewhat

culpable. And I don't need to tell you as far as the department goes, it almost

certainly means this cop would lose everything.

His whole pension.

Okay, I'll let him know.

You sure we can't find something to lock that kid's father up on? Talk about

loudmouth.

What?

Do you know anything about honor killings?

Sounds like something the mafia does. This woman in Pakistan, her husband cut

her nose off because he was afraid that she might be unfaithful.

Pakistan?

It says thousands of women are murdered every year for bringing dishonor on

their families.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that we need to talk to Talia's father again.

Hey, I got eyes.

I don't know what to say.

Just apologize for whatever it is that she thinks that you did wrong and then

ask for another chance.

Hey there.

Oh, I'm not finished.

With what?

You need a copy of the run sheet for your paperwork, right? Oh, yeah.

Look, I've been trying to call you.

I know. I'm sorry. No, no. Wait, wait.

Listen.

I'm really sorry.

About what?

Well, just, you know, I figured you were pissed that I snapped at you that day

after what happened at the depot.

You know, I acted like a jerk. I don't even remember that happened.

Oh.

It's not a problem. You're not interested.

I know. It's not a big deal.

It's not a big deal.

Go ahead about it.

Finny.

I wasn't planning on ignoring you. I wasn't actually planning anything.

I just...

That day, that whole incident just made me feel so...

so...

That guy, he had his hands

on me and... I couldn't do anything.

No, we're looking for him.

I know. You know, I got some good info. I found some of his friends. I'm gonna

call him. Finney... I mean, it's gonna be any day now. Finney, I'm not afraid

him coming after me.

Well, then what?

I just never looked at sex like that before.

Like, it could be a weapon, like it could be used to hurt me.

And I just, I need some time to, you know, to deal with that before I,

before you and me again, you know.

You think you got enough to go after him? Honor killings. These people

know the first thing about honor. There is a story in here about a woman who was

murdered because her husband's rent that she betrayed him.

That's bad.

And it goes on and on.

They view these women as property. When they murder them, all they're doing is

they're getting rid of property.

It's disgusting. It's immoral. It's really bad.

You know how much time they get?

The men who do it? They get maybe like three months to a year. And that's if

they're prosecuted.

Anything in that stack of papers proves that the father killed the daughter? Are

you kidding me?

You think he didn't do it? We're not trying to right the world's wrongs here,

Faith. We got one murder to put down.

He lied about the boyfriend.

Doesn't mean he's a murderer.

I know what I'm doing.

Look, I got the phone company working on Talos and the boyfriend's cell phone

calls and text messages.

They're gonna fax me. Let's see who they talk to.

Maybe we should go by their school and canvas some more of their friends, too.

It's a waste of time.

It's your case.

Yeah, you're damn right.

You lied to me.

You told me that your daughter didn't have a boyfriend.

I told her not to see him anymore.

And she did everything that you told her? She's 16 years old.

Maybe in this country you think it's fine at that age for her to be going out

with boys.

I do not. That's not a crime. Well, in this country, it's not fine to kill that

girl because she brings dishonor on the family.

What are you saying? I'm saying that you're under arrest for the murder of

daughter, Talia Bukhari.

Hands on the car, please. Come on.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.

Fine, I'll pass it on.

Hold up, Monroe.

Yeah. IAB called. Captain Finney wants you down at IAB Headquarters A7.

What does internal affairs want?

Didn't say.

You better call your PBA rep. You don't want to go to Rat Squad without

representation.

You're riding with Vinnie.

No, I'm not.

Davis is on a personal.

Monroe is at a commission.

What am I, running a nursery?

You got a grudge? Sort it out.

We'll be in the car.

I demand to know why I am here. You know why you're here.

Tell me about honor killing.

This is uneducated people in the wilderness.

Mia Imran was murdered in a lawyer's office for asking for a divorce.

The murderer was hired by her mother, who was a doctor.

So please don't sit there and tell me that these are uneducated people.

You found out that your daughter was pregnant.

What? And you thought it would bring dishonor to your family. And that's the

reason you didn't want an autopsy. Because you didn't want anybody to find

My religion. Your religion?

What kind of religion would do this?

I want an attorney.

What? An attorney. I can't hear you, Mr. Bukhari.

You won't believe anything I say, will you? Try me.

I want an attorney. It is my right.

Yeah.

It's nice to be in a country where there are rights.

Isn't it?

You still think he didn't do it?

I don't know. Just found out his daughter...

And his grandchild died today.

Jelly, a fax for you from the phone company. Thanks, Lou.

Oh, no.

Talked to Davis lately?

Just thought you might know why I took another personal day. Sorry for asking.

You're his partner now. You should know what's going on with him.

I don't know. He's looking into his father's death.

Murder.

His father's murder.

I told him to talk to my father about it. You're kidding, right?

I don't know what your beef is, man.

I mean, he said you all hung out together.

And how he remembers Ty's father dying and how you guys spent 48 hours...

Without sleeping to try to get the guy that did it.

Are you putting me on or are you actually that naive?

Dude, what are you talking about?

You know what, ever since I've got here, you've had a bug in your ass about me.

And my dad. So why don't you just throw some balls and say whatever it is you

have a problem with.

Right now the problem is he wants movers and parkers.

and not speak without an attorney.

You can go.

What?

You can go, sir.

Sir? There's been a development.

I'll be in touch with your family.

Officer Davis, thank you for coming down.

My pleasure, sir.

I've only been waiting here like two hours.

Well, you must realize I'm a very busy man.

Yeah, yeah. Setting up cops to be murdered, that must be tough work.

Excuse me?

I know what you did to my dad.

You're sadly mistaken, son.

I'm not your son.

I'm not mistaken.

Your father was a dirty cop, taking bribes from drug dealers and street

And from what I understand, he needed the extra money to finance a side

Now, you do know there was another family involved, don't you?

Yeah, I know about them.

So, I don't know whether to admire you for being...

More loyal to him than he ever was to you.

Or I think you're just a damn fool.

I don't give a crap what you think, man.

Why don't you come and talk to me?

I got something I want to tell you.

Where's Chris?

Rory questioned him. Yeah, we can speak to him again. Is he here?

Getting ready for football practice. He has an important game on a Friday.

Yeah, well, he missed his SAT prep class this afternoon.

What? We have his phone records.

Text messages are stored by the phone company. So? So he told Talia to meet

in the park.

Hey, let's do the next block.

Get in the car. You have a visual on that green hothead. What the

hell

do you think you're doing calling me down here in front of my whole squad?

What am I supposed to tell them?

I'm working on an important case. Something you might... possibly already

involved in. Well, you could have waited to talk to me about this after my

shift. I thought it was important that you come in. Oh, more important than

making sure that no one finds out that I'm IAB?

Christopher?

Christopher?

I need for you to turn the car off and step out, okay?

Christopher, I need you to turn the car off, okay?

We can talk about it, all right?

Christopher?

Christopher?

This is 55 Charlie.

This is an emergency message.

At King and Collier, we have an occupied car in the river. Send to ESU and

Harbor forthwith.

What are you doing?

I believe you two are very familiar with each other.

You thought you knew her, didn't you, officer?

Surely, as you know all about me.

I just wanted to get all of our cards out on the table here.

An 18 -year -old male has been under for about two minutes. Then he went in

after him.

Oh, God.

Why would you do this?

While I have you both here, we have another issue to discuss. September

2004, you pulled over Valerie Diaz, Regina Sanchez, and Cynthia Sanchez,

sisters, I believe, on the corner of Lafayette and Arthur.

According to Diaz and Sanchez, you pulled them over without provocation.

later, when they were tied to a homicide...

You fabricated a traffic ticket to justify the initial stop.

Your partner didn't show up at the grand jury, never testified, never backed you

up. Detective Monroe, you were the partner, were you not?

I was sick that day.

So if you actually wrote this ticket after the fact, that would be perjury

falsifying an official report. Class D felonies.

Jailable offenses.

Now, the trouble with throwing around unsubstantiated charges and libelous

claims is you first must make sure your own houses are in order.

No, I don't have to pursue this fraudulent ticket investigation.

I know why you did it.

I understand. Sometimes when you're out in the field, you have to make difficult

decisions, and I know that.

I'm not talking about this without a PBA attorney.

Why, you got something to hide?

Don't we all?

So what, so you really think you can use a couple of career criminals bitching

about a moving violation to get me to back off my father's murder?

Young man, the only thing I want you to understand is that things are never

exactly as they seem.

Except for the fact that I am going to make you pay for what you did.

Are you?

Ty. Ty, please.

Just talk to me. Just listen to what I have to say. What? What could you

possibly say?

What?

It's not how it looks. What's not? You're not IB?

You don't work for Catholic? But it's not that simple.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

Don't talk to me.

No. Ty.

That folder.

The folder that you got this morning. Who do you think sent that to your

You think that makes us all right?

Do you?

I'm done with you. I'm done with you. Ty.

Ty, please.

Just let me explain.

Please just let me explain.

Ty, please let me explain.

Did he read you your rights?

Do you understand them?

Yeah. I really didn't mean to kill her, you know.

You punched her in the face, Christopher.

When she fell backwards and hit her head on that rock, I knew something was

wrong right away.

What were you fighting about?

She wouldn't listen to me.

She was screaming at me. I was just trying to get her to understand.

Understand what?

That a baby just wasn't in the plans, you know?

My dad's been working and saving for college since I was three years old.

He wants me to go to Columbia in the fall for law.

Christopher, do you understand the severity of what's going on here? Do you

understand that you're going to be charged with murder?

I tried to take responsibility.

I saved the money, everything I had, just so she can get the abortion.

Detective Grimaldi is going to take the statement.

And your father is outside.

Hey,

my name's Finney.

Brendan Finney. I'm with the NYPD.

Working at 55th Precinct.

What are you doing?

I'm starting over.

Look, Grace, all I want to do is hang out with you.

And get to know you better.

And we'll take it slow.

I mean, hell, if anything, we can just be friends.

You know, I think you're cool, and I just... Yeah, I just like you, you know?

No expectations?

How could I have any expectations?

We just met.

Mrs. Bukhari, I wanted you to know that we arrested your daughter's murderer

today.

You could have called.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought I should come in person.

It was the boy?

Yes, ma 'am. He wanted her to have an abortion and she wouldn't do it.

I'm very sorry.

Your culture in the West, you think you should tell the rest of the world how to

live, but you have children murdering each other in your streets.

I can't argue that. We have a lot of problems.

But I think we're still a decent society.

And our customs are barbaric. You mean honor killings? That is a part of it.

Then yes, ma 'am. I think the way that your culture treats women is barbaric.

But my daughter died here for the same reason.

So then tell me, what difference did your decent society make?

Nice job today.

Hey.

Emily. Hi, here's my key.

Hi.

Is everything okay?

No, everything's fine.

Did your dad know that you're here? He knew.

I talked to the judge today.

Are you hungry?

Because I stopped at the corner. I got that cashew chicken that you like. I

don't even really eat it. I think I get it out of habit.

Mom. Emily, it's okay.

Okay. It's okay.

I understand.

I picked you.

I want to live with you, Mom.

But I just, uh... I just got home from work, and I thought this job was going

be less hours, and I actually think it's going to be a lot more.

It was the lawyers who were making a big deal of that.

I mean, I'll be here as much as I can.

That's good enough. And I can try, you know, harder.

You don't have to be different.

I missed a lot of things when you were growing up, things that were important

you. I know that if you could have, you would have been there.

I haven't been what you needed.

I'm sorry for that.

You're sorry for showing me that a woman can be a good mother and have a career,

too?

And for teaching me that...

No matter what gets in your way, you never give up.

And that we can fight and say terrible things to each other.

And no matter what, we love each other.

You're sorry for that?

I'm proud to be your daughter.

And if it's okay, I want to live with you.

It's nothing I planned and not that I can,

but you should be mine across that line.

If I traded it all, if I gave it.

And just for one thing, if I thought it out,

if I knew all about this one thing,

wouldn't that be something?

I promise I might not walk on by.

Maybe next time, but not this time.
