Original subtitles

Previously on Third Watch... Ty, I really need the costume. We can't fix

You need to get that through your head. I appreciate what you did. It doesn't

change things.

Something came up on your lead test last night. I know. I know what you test

for. It's the band.

Hey. I haven't seen my mother in years.

When I first moved out, I couldn't think of one single thing I knew about her.

Didn't have one happy memory.

But after a while, I got far enough away from the pain to see the good things.

Home.

Get me home. Why would she leave like that?

I don't know, Carlos.

You don't just leave when you love someone.

Sometimes you do. What does that mean?

You realize, if you elect to forego treatment, it's a death sentence.

It's a death sentence either way.

I've known patients to extend their lives considerably.

Yeah, well, I'm not looking to extend my life. I'm going to be too sick to enjoy

it. There are drugs that can help with that.

Drugs for the after effects of other drugs, no thanks.

I'm always fighting something.

Take my chances.

This is not something you can beat with a can -do attitude.

Thank you.

L -E -V -I -N -E?

Yeah, I know how to spell Levine.

So why aren't you writing it down?

Well, because it says here she was going home.

Two weeks ago. Two weeks. I haven't heard a thing from her. She's not

her cell phone either.

Did you call her family?

I have no idea who they are or where home is.

I thought she was your girlfriend.

Well, we haven't really been seeing each other that long.

So what were you right about? What? It says here, you were right, I'm going

home.

Oh, we had kind of a fight.

A fight?

No, not like that. I mean, it was stupid. She said she loved me and I

it back.

And you're surprised that she's not checking in with you? She's missing.

Well, has she missed any of her appointments that she was scheduled for?

about her job?

She took her vacation days.

Really?

At the last minute. That's not like her.

I thought you weren't going out with her that long. Long enough to know she

doesn't just up and take a vacation I knew nothing about.

How many days does she have left on her vacation?

Three.

Okay.

So let's see what happens at the end of three days.

That's it.

But right now, she's only gone. That doesn't mean she's missing.

So if she doesn't return from her vacation in three days, we'll move

Move forward.

I want you to wait. That's not right. I told you not to.

What's up?

Oh, sorry.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'll get the radios.

Hey, where you been?

Across the street at the police station.

Something wrong?

Yeah, Gray.

Holly's missing. Not like anyone gives a damn.

Missing? She left you a note and took her vacation, Dave. That's not good

enough. What did a lot of people get?

You have no idea.

What it's like to have someone that you care about out there and you don't know

where.

Adam 553, 114 between Arthur and Logan.

Fit up. Duty call.

Duty calls?

Hey,

Bobo, pull over.

I'm gonna try to get next time. You think that's a good idea?

I'm pretty sure it's not.

5 -5 -5 -day, we have a vehicle crash at Arthur and 117. We're going to need EMS

and some help.

This crazy son of a bitch.

Is he breathing?

I don't think so.

Hey, sir, are you okay?

What the hell was that?

Sit down. We've got help on the way. The casket, man. It flew out the back. Stay

here. I need to check on that. I'll check on it. You stay here.

Oh, my God.

We've got a problem.

He was having a heart attack in the car?

That's the call we got.

I guess he decided he couldn't wait. Well, he was right.

He didn't have a scratch on him.

So if he was already dead, does that make this a fatality?

Well, you might want to wait before you move forward.

What's he talking about?

I don't know.

Good luck.

Captain flew out in an accident, broke open.

Uncle Bob wasn't alone.

I think it was me. Yeah, I was pretty upset.

Thanks. What do you want to do here, Sarge?

We'll let the ME figure out what to do with the first party and we'll start

IDing the spillway.

That's just wrong.

This is why I want my ashes scattered somewhere high where people hang on the

beach and sip drinks with umbrellas in them.

This is why?

Well, this and I don't want to be warm food.

Take a look.

You recognize it? Yeah, it's 108 Boys.

They surfaced last January. They throw dope around 108th and West End.

Where's the driver? Right there. He doesn't know anything.

Oh, of course he doesn't.

You got a permit for an extra dead body?

I already told the other cop.

You don't know nothing.

I just load the coffin and drive.

I never see what's inside.

What funeral home you work for?

Lynch Brothers.

Peter Lynch is the owner.

Okay, well, we'll see if Mr. Lynch can come pick you up from the station house.

Would I have to go in?

You see, this is, um...

This is a lot like a game of musical chair.

When the music stopped, you were the one holding the dead gangbanger.

Now, I would say that warrants further review, wouldn't you, Officer Santiago?

Yes, ma 'am.

So, are you up for some Mexican?

No, I was thinking something more bland. I'm not really feeling good today.

I hope you don't have a flu.

No, I had shrimp last night. I think it was bad.

Can you just...

Take it easy for me today, Sal.

How about the diner? Is that bland enough? Sally, can you just slow down?

What? Matter of fact, pull over.

Pull over! Okay.

You okay?

Yeah.

Well, that was some bad shrimp, huh?

Yeah, I feel better now.

I'm going to take you in. You can go on to medical.

No, no, I'm fine. I'm good. Hey!

Let me go take care of it. Let me check it out. No, no, no. You stay here.

Do what you want.

Yeah. There's someone hurt back here.

Okay, show me.

He fell.

Yeah, I bet.

I can smell the booze from here. His leg's badly broken. He's going to need

ambulance. How about you let me decide that, huh?

It's broken, all right.

So what's he to you?

I just found him. Annie!

It's okay, it's okay. The police are here.

Annie, is that you?

Look, will you call an ambulance?

I thought you said you didn't know him. Please, I've done the best I could,

okay? Can I leave?

Did she hurt you, sir?

No, man.

Annie's great.

I fell.

I might be a little drunk.

Might be.

Okay, thanks. We'll...

Take care of it from here.

It's 5 -5 Charlie. We have a situation, Mr. Lynch.

I'm mortified by this.

Yeah, well, unless they paid for a two -for -one special, I'll bet you're not

mortified as the Ricolo family. This was my grandfather's business. This has

been in my family for 70 years. Good, then explain to me how an extra body

into a coffin. I honestly don't know. You weren't trying to make a little

money on the side or anything? And risk losing my license? It wouldn't be worth

it.

So who handles the bodies? Who has access?

The embalming is done in the basement of our building by me.

Then we put them in the casket, and they wait in the viewing room until the day

of the funeral or cremation, at which time the coffin is closed, brought out

the loading dock, transferred to the hearth, and driven to its final resting

place. So who closes it and who loads it? That would be our driver, after the

family's paid its last respects.

And how long has this particular driver been working for you?

He's new, three or four months.

Can I go? No.

Um, how many funerals do you guys do a week?

A week, on average, about three or four.

I'll be right back.

This guy's involved.

He's the shakiest guy I've ever saw. But the driver, he seems awful cool.

He should be. I ran his sheet.

He's been arrested 13 times. He got tied for the one week.

Yeah, what about the stiff?

Fresh. The M .E. office says it's about a day older.

Anthony Rodriguez, 21 years old. Is there a one week with?

We have the tattoos.

So why are the one weeks doing their own thing?

He was the only witness to two murders.

Who are you?

A .D .A. Jocelyn.

Your victim was my only witness against Darren Maddox.

Maddox, he's leader of the 108.

He beat two murder rats last year, right? With Mr. Rodriguez gone, we can

that two more this year.

So Maddox still dealing around 108 in West End?

He's not just in the drug business. He's in the business of killing people.

These are all the missing persons we can get involved in. Missing persons?

All of these people were somehow involved with Maddox, and then one day

just disappeared off the face of the earth. Yeah, I went into it.

We're not going to be able to get an order to just start digging up graves

over New York. Yeah, well, I may have a hearse driver who might be able to help

us nail Maddox. You never met someone like this guy.

Good. You guys should take a look up in a row while you're here. I'm fine.

You sure?

Yeah, absolutely.

Who field -dressed this?

What?

This leg.

You do this?

Yeah, I also did some kidney surgery on him. Would I need that lawsuit?

Lawsuit? Whoever did this should charge the guy. It's beautiful.

What? Well, considering the fact that all they used was garbage and stuff, I

doubt I could have done better. This is a compound fracture that's been reset

and the bleeding stopped.

It was a homeless woman.

She didn't want to stick around either.

This guy called her Annie.

Annie?

That's what he said.

Annie what?

He didn't say.

What does she look like? I don't know.

Dirty? Big coat. Could you see what color hair she had? The homeless woman.

weighed us down, showed me where this guy was, took off.

Didn't really pay much attention.

Although, uh, she didn't have an accent.

Did you see where she went? What's going on?

I saw her come out. She went up the street eastbound.

Did you see where she went after that?

No, I haven't been feeling well. Grace, what's going on?

Grace!

We got a patient back there.

After we take him back to the hospital, we need to come back here.

Why?

Miss Annie woman.

Yeah?

She might be my mother.

Put them all at the bottom of coffins.

You're crazy, man.

Am I?

I told you.

Talk to Peter Lynch. He runs the damn place.

I never touch those coffins except to slide them into the hearse. What about

bodies? What? You touch the bodies? No. Never?

Never.

Here's the problem with that, Robert. See, once a body is embalmed, if you

it, you leave fingerprints on it.

What?

Yeah, the embalming fluid, it dries out the skin, so anyone who touches it after

that shows the prints.

So? If you never touch the bodies, then maybe you can explain to me why your

prints are all over Mr. Rico's hands.

Or his face.

Or how about the back of his neck?

I don't know. You're going down for Anthony Rodriguez's murder, Robert.

Your prints are all over this thing. And when we find the rest of these bodies,

and your prints on them, you're going to be a mass murderer.

A mass murderer. That's lethal injection, Robert.

Joanne never killed anybody.

I actually believe you.

The jury's not going to, but I do. See, I think that somebody told you to put

those bodies in the bottom of the coffins and you just followed orders.

right. That's what happened, huh?

Okay. So now we're going to start down the road to getting you out of this very

bad situation you got yourself into.

Manny?

You're gonna give us an address.

Of who?

I think you know.

No way.

Okay.

I think you're making a bad decision.

Look, I'm not gonna end up like one of those people who just disappeared.

We will protect you, Robert.

Like you protected them, right?

I don't think so.

You're not going to cooperate.

I'll charge you with my dad. Then charge me. I will.

Do whatever.

There's no way I'm ratting on him.

Your mother's homeless?

I haven't seen her in a long time.

But you're not surprised that she might be living on the street?

No. She does on and off.

She does?

Excuse me, I'm looking for Annie.

She's a surgical nurse from Vietnam.

She met my father.

Wait, your mom was in Nam?

The blue throats.

You're allowed to do that many?

They needed nurses and they didn't consider combat.

On our third tour, she got addicted to morphine. When she came back, the

morphine became heroin.

My brother was born addicted.

No,

I wasn't.

She functioned well enough for a while, and then one day she just disappeared.

How old were you?

Eleven.

I've seen her a couple of times since, but it's always like this. It just

happened to run into her.

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone I knew.

You mean Andy Foster?

Yes.

One way, boys.

He's a nice guy, huh?

Would you call him for backup?

No. It's a dangerous guy, boss. No one even knows we're here. You stay by the

car. What? All I'm going to do is talk to him. I'm not waiting by the car.

make me order you, Manny.

You left your friend in the car.

Yeah, I wanted it to be just me and you.

Oh, I've been down to this.

You won't belong.

The name Anthony Rodriguez ring a bell for you?

Anthony Rodriguez in New York.

Probably 10 ,000 of them. This one was found at the bottom of a coffin.

Someone else's.

Is that funny to you? You don't think so? No. Then you don't have a sense of

humor. Anthony was a member of your own gang.

Gangs are for kids who don't know better.

I'm a grown -up.

You think the witness is going to put you away for a double homicide?

If I knew who you were talking about, I'd probably say a rat like that

what he got.

What about Robert Knapp?

That ring a bell?

He gave it up.

And Fuller? He told me where all the bodies are. You got squat or you would

arrested me already.

Got any weapons?

Since you've asked me that before.

Yeah, I was hoping you'd try to use one.

Easy with the merchandise.

What do you think I'm going to carry?

At least once a day when you're out there for a brisk.

Keep watching over your shoulder there, Mr.

Maddox. I'm going to be right there behind you until I trip you up.

I look forward to it.

Whoa, whoa.

Don't shoot.

Sworsky said you were here. How you doing?

I'm good. I just came to pick up my service piece.

He said that you're clear to come back. I just have to re -qualify.

Re -qualify? You're the best shot in the department.

My aim's still a little off.

You'll pass.

So how is it?

I'm working upstairs.

I like it.

You know, it's the first time in 13 years I'm going to have a new partner.

Yeah, but maybe you'll get somebody who doesn't talk about their husband and

kids all shift.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta head out. I'm going... Going back to the range, get some more

practice in.

Yeah, Swirsky's been after me to get down there. I have till the end of the

month to re -qualify.

I could go down there with you. You know, I could give you a ride.

No, it's not a problem. I'll just go get my stuff.

Really? Yeah.

Oh, God, I hate rats.

They won't bother you.

No, everyone has that one thing that they're scared of.

Rat for me.

Scared of everything.

Mostly rats.

Mom, it's me, Grace.

Coffee? You don't have to clean up. I'm fine.

How about your friend? He's fine, too.

It's only instant, but I can heat the water. I've got a hot plate.

But it takes some time, so if you want some, you should... Mom.

Why does your friend come over here? I think he's trying to give us some

Hey, want some coffee?

No, ma 'am. Thank you.

Yeah.

I'm just, I'm going to wait out in the bus.

Yeah, okay. I have my radio on.

Mom. I asked you not to call me that.

Just call me Annie.

Look, I'm not trying to be mean. Please.

Okay. I'll call you whatever you want me to. Would you please stop cleaning and

talk to me?

paramedic. For five years.

Been that long since I saw you? Six years and eight months.

That's right when you left for rehab in Connecticut.

Connecticut and I didn't get along.

How long have you been back in the city?

Time doesn't have much meaning out here.

Six months, it was summer.

And you didn't try to... You know I wouldn't.

Why did you want to be a paramedic?

I always thought you'd be a teacher.

So... How's your brother?

And father?

They're okay.

I miss you. Don't. Don't.

Don't do that.

You know, it's not that easy. Yeah, I know.

I thought you were a smart guy.

Smart guys keep their traps shut. Yeah, it works for Maddox. It doesn't work for

you. He doesn't talk, he gets off. You don't talk, you keep looking at a felony

conviction.

Answers still no.

That's what Maddox figured you'd say.

You spoke to him?

Yeah, I told him we were talking about it. Are you crazy? You told him I was

here?

Yeah. I told him you were going to give him up.

You stupid bitch!

Son of a bitch!

He's going to kill them just to send me a message to shut up! What are you

talking about?

Those bitches!

Those missing people!

They're family members of people who ratted out Maddox.

Oh, man.

My mother and my sister, man. He's been to my house.

He thinks I'm talking. He's going to kill them.

She gave my family a death sentence.

Show me how it's done, killer.

Ready on the right!

Ready on the left!

Hey!

Fire!

Look, Grace, don't you have to get back to the ambulance?

You did a nice job of studying that man's compound fracture.

Yeah, well, around here there's always some kind of medical crisis.

They're lucky to have you.

Still a great nurse.

Now, who told you that, that I was a great nurse?

Dad.

Did he tell you what my job was?

Surgical nurse in the mass unit.

No, what I actually spent my time doing.

Well, when the most hopeless cases were brought in, I was assigned to comfort

them as they died.

And I was good at it.

I made them feel better.

My commander said I was motherly.

I was this boy, he was 18 years old, Harold Green.

Well, I held his hand for three and a half hours while I fed him morphine to

make sure he was comfortable while he died.

He was engaged to be married to Charlotte Presgrove.

He wanted to have three kids. He inherited this farm from his father.

He wanted to grow wheat.

I thought that was such a sweet dream.

He didn't want to be an astronaut or a pro ball player. He just wanted to get

married, have kids, grow wheat in Bogota, Tennessee.

I couldn't do anything for him.

All I could do was listen to his dreams while he died.

That's not a nurse, Grace.

Why do you want to be a paramedic? Why do you want to spend your life around

death?

I'm addicted to heroin.

That's because I couldn't sleep without taking morphine.

You were in treatment?

Yeah, a few times.

So why can't you beat it? Because I don't want to. How could you not want

Don't you even want to try and be a family?

Oh, Grace.

Go back to your life. Forget about me.

No.

We're never going to be a family, not the way you want us to be. I'm not

leaving.

Then I will.

This is 55 Charlie. My partner is in foot pursuit.

I'm a first snatcher on Lexington at 110 -111.

Get your hands up! Get your hands up!

I want you to lay down nice and slow with your face down and your hands

your head.

This is 55 Charlie. I need backup and a bus forthwith this location.

You okay?

I'm all right.

We got to take you over to Mercy.

No, I'm fine.

Monroe, we're going to take you over to Mercy. I said I'm all right. Look, this

is line of duty.

You're going to Mercy.

How'd you do? All right.

What, you want me to see it?

I don't want you to be depressed.

How about you? How'd you do? Same as always. I hit more than I missed, but

be damned if I know how.

That's because you had a great teacher.

Let me police up the branch. We'll get out of here. All right?

Please don't. Don't run away.

To be a teacher, Grace.

Something with less action.

Please, Mom.

Don't call me that.

I'm not motherly.

But you're my mother.

Yeah, I know. Well, I'm sorry about that. I'm not.

How can you not be?

Adam 553, take an injured police officer, 111 and left.

10 -4.

We gotta go.

Go?

Don't. Listen, don't run away again.

Let me do this. I'll come right back.

Let me buy you dinner or something.

I just want to talk to you.

I won't ask you for anything but some time.

You're very beautiful.

Please.

Yeah, I'm not going anywhere.

Thanks.

Go on, go.

I hope we got here before Maddox's voice.

Matt?

Police?

This is Matt?

They're gone.

Kevin Maddox?

Full force, right in the chest.

We should take an x -ray, make sure she didn't fracture her rib or anything.

No, I didn't. I'm fine.

But we should take an x -ray to make sure.

I'll get Dr. Hickman. I'll be right back. Yeah.

Why can't you let this go?

I'm fine.

Because you may have internal injuries that we don't know about, because we

to file a report on this. I'm not taking any x -rays.

Why are you being such a martyr about this? I want to go home.

I'm not. I'm fine. I just want to go home and I can come back and take care

him later. You know that's not how this works. You have to have the x -ray now.

No. It's not going to take that long.

I'll go down there and see if I can get him to speed it up. Sully.

Sully. I'm not having any x -rays. I'm pregnant, okay?

We need backup.

I don't need backup.

Something I can help you with, officer?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, there is.

I'm looking for Teresa Maria Knapp.

I don't know anyone named Knapp. Why don't you take a hike?

One more question.

Does your mother live at 14280 32nd Avenue, Queens? My mother?

You don't answer my questions. I don't answer yours.

Where's my mother?

You could always call her.

I'm pretty sure she's not going to answer the phone.

You can't do anything to her.

Oh, see, I think you've got me confused with other cops here, Maddox. I'll do

just about anything to get what I want.

You wouldn't hurt her.

What's this?

Does that look familiar?

Oh, St.

Agnes.

Religious woman, your mother, huh?

We're on the job! We're on the job!

We're on the job!

They're at some storage place on Greenpoint Avenue in Long Island City.

Slow down.

You gotta try and talk her into a hotel or something.

She said she'd wait.

Maybe she's just out.

See, Carlos, someone could be gone but not missing.

Grace.

Maybe we can come back another time.

Not gonna be another time.

Not here.

Ty's the father?

No, it's one of the other 14 guys I slept with last month.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.

No, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

Does he know?

No. And you can't tell him. You have to tell him.

For what? It's not going to change anything. You know how he feels about

Yeah, but you don't know what his reaction's going to be. Yeah, I do.

You've got to give me your word on this, Tully.

You're not going to be able to keep this one a secret, you know.

This is my personal business.

What I choose to do is my decision.

Respect my privacy.

What is up with you? I didn't want to sit around waiting for Maddox to make a

deal. I'm not talking about that.

Ever since I've known you, you've always been aggressive. I never liked it.

Never reckless. It's like you don't care what happens to you. Look, if you don't

like the way I do things, go find another squad. Look, I'm not talking to

a boss.

I'm talking to you as a friend.

That's the thing, Manny.

We're not friends.

You just stuck on a call?

Yeah, Monroe got injured tonight.

Chasing down a purse snatcher. He'd go to the ER.

Is she all right?

I think so.

I always call her, you know. Yeah, that's gonna happen.

She made amends.

What does that mean?

Nothing. Just thought the two of you were really good together, that's all.

Until I found out she was stabbing me in the back the whole time.

She had her reasons.

Why are you defending her all of a sudden?

I just think it's a shame that things were over between the two of you.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna stay that way. I'll see you later.

Yeah.

It's okay. It's okay.

Police. Police. Okay?

Okay.

It's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hi.

Hey. I hope it's not too late. No, come on in.

All right.

You want a drink or something?

No, thanks.

I just want to talk to you for a second, if I can.

Okay.

What's up?

I want to talk about today at the range.

The reason why I didn't show you my target isn't because I nailed it.

It's because I couldn't shoot worth a damn.

I did that at practice.

I've been practicing every day since I got out of the hospital. My scores

haven't gotten better.

You just need time.

My focus is a little off, you know? My vision in my right eye, it just, it gets

a little blurry sometimes.

And, uh, I haven't told anyone.

Well, you should talk to the doctor about that. I don't want the department

find out.

Eva Bosco, if you're having trouble with your eye, you're not going to be able

to requalify anyhow.

That's why I'm here.

I need someone to shoot for me.

If you don't help me, I'm not going to be able to get back on.

Bosco, if you can't shoot, you cannot go back out on the street. That is crazy.

You don't understand, okay?

I'm not going to sit behind a desk for the rest of my life. It's not going to

happen.

So I'm asking you, everything that we've been through together, you're not

thinking straight.

I'm going to tell you right now, you do not.

I want to do that. That's all I got.

If I don't get back on, what am I supposed to do?

There are plenty of jobs that you can do down at the department. No, I need to

be in the radio car answering calls.

It's what I do. It's what I'm good at.

It's what I do.

I can't help you.

I saved your life that night.

And you won't do this for me.

You're going to sit there.

And you're going to look at me and you're going to tell me that you won't

a damn target.

Of all the people, I thought that I could come to you. Bosco, that is not

To hell with you. Bosco. No, to hell with you. Bosco.
