Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 3 - Patterns - full transcript

After Bosco has sex in his squad car with the boss' daughter, his boss gets a videotape of it. Bobby and Kim argue heatedly. Doc brings Carlos along on a personal mission to locate the owner of a lost watch.

Previously on Third Watch:

Son of a bitch!

I begged him to stop
working for the city.

Let's not talk about
him in the past tense.

Want to be a real cop? Get
the hell away from Sullivan fast.

- Ever think about quitting?
- Only 25 times a day.

Bosco! Son of a bitch.

Wrote it on his passenger side.

When you get in your car,
you never look on that side.

The beauty part is, I
signed Boscorelli's name...

so now Sully is gonna be
looking to get even with him.



Bosco thinks he's
funny with that sign.

- Maybe he's trying to hook you up.
- "Older women make me wet"?

- It's direct, to the point.
- I don't need to be hooked up.

Carjacking in progress.
Cellular distress call.

Last known location,
northbound from 105 on King.

Two victims in the
car, another in the trunk.

- Where are we?
- 112th.

Keep your eyes rolling.
Central, repeat. One in the trunk?

- Repeat. There is a victim in the trunk.
- Damn.

K-Q-A. Look for
the rental sticker.

- Right there, Sully.
- You got the plate?

- It's King-Queen-Adam 2-9-4.
- Central, this is 55-Charlie.

We got a visual on that carjack.
We're tailing at a distance.

- Copy that. SULLY:
Crap! He made us!



We're in pursuit. Suspect heading
northbound on King past 125.

You watch only right.
Intersections, driveways.

If it's clear, yell "clear."

I won't even look. - Got it.

Clear. SULLY: Good.

Jesus, he's gonna kill somebody.

- You on the right?
- Clear.

Clear, clear, you're clear.

You got a pedestrian
by that pole.

Jesus!

All right, Central. We're
on Market and 130.

What the hell?

Man, oh, man.

This is 55-Charlie. We got a
car in the water at 135 and King.

Need fire and rescue!
Davis! Davis, come on!

Oh, my God! GIRL: Mommy!

Mommy, please...

Get the kid in the back!

- Ma'am, it's locked!
- Door's locked!

You've gotta unlock the door!

Find the handle,
find the handle!

You got it, ma'am.

It's okay, it's okay. All right.

It's okay, it's okay.

Sully, the seat belt's stuck!

Davis, come on!

It's all right.

Come on. We got it, we got it.

He's got her. It's okay.

We've got three vics.

This is a mother and daughter.

The husband's in the
trunk. I'm going back.

- I've got her.
- Watch her neck.

Mommy! Mommy!

Doherty, there's
one in the trunk!

We gotta secure the car!
- Come on!

- Mom. KIM: Here we
go, here's your mommy.

I got a C-spine.

Okay, I'm just gonna put
this on your neck, okay?

One more time.

Katie. GIRL: Mommy!

Come on, Doherty,
get him out. Get him out.

- Come on, Doherty.
- Stay real still.

- Stay real still for me, okay?
- He's not breathing!

I want you to stay really
still. You're doing a great job.

Mommy!

Come on. Come
on. Stay still, honey.

You're doing really good. Your
mom's here, we got her right here.

Watch his head, watch his head!

Mommy! Mommy!

Tell me where you are. Stay
still if you can, stay a little still.

Check his rhythms.

Pulse is weak and thready.

Ventilate him
well. Jeff, bag him.

He's bradying down.

All right, give him a line.

Give me her hand!

- Give me your hand.
- Mommy's here.

She's right here.

Nothing.

Come on!

Come on.

What's that?

Sully's card.

- "Enjoy the flour."
- What flour?

Guy's going mental. Look at
that. He spelled flower "f-I-o-u-r."

What the hell? You
can barely see me.

Those choppers got zooms.
They can't zoom in? Look at this.

I thought I looked pretty good.

Yeah, except the father of my
child almost got himself drowned.

- Know what kept me alive?
- Your thick head needs little oxygen.

Friday night.

- Springsteen tickets?
- He's back with the E Street Band.

Yeah, I read the paper.

- Are you asking me out on a date?
- Not a date.

I have an extra ticket.
We like Springsteen.

It'd just be you and
me going to a concert.

If you don't want it, then
yeah, I'm gonna go find a date.

Yes or no?

- Yes?
- I'll think about it.

Well, think fast. It's Friday.

What are these?

Gauze pads. I'll give them
to the Harlem Free Clinic.

Giving away city property?

They're not ours. You know that
private bus parked over by the diner?

- They gave those to you?
- They don't know I took them.

- You stole them?
- I taught them vehicle safety.

- Lock your doors.
- You stole them.

With what they charge, they can afford
to give something to the community.

This yours?

- A Jaeger Reverso?
- You know watches?

Enough to know nobody on a
City paycheck could afford that.

"To my dearest. Time
passes, love is eternal."

Must belong to the
guy from the river.

I'll write it up, get
it back to the wife.

Oh, she must still be at Angel of
Mercy. We can just drive it over.

That's not procedure.

She just lost her husband.

She deserves better than a
brown envelope and a claim slip.

You're blocking the alley!
It's all blocked up now!

- Done?
- It'll take him an hour to unpark that.

- It took you an hour to park it.
- That's not the point.

- What is the point?
- The point is...

The point is that it's gonna take
them an hour to get the car unparked.

What if a car has to come through
and your car is blocking that car?

Then they can go around.

They could go through
if you weren't blocking!

Unless I tell
people to go around.

Do you want me to tell
people to go around? I can.

Yeah, you do that.

- What is he always hanging around for?
- He likes you.

- The guy's like a retard.
- He is retarded!

It would go a long way if you
were so much as decent to him.

Oh, yeah... You want
me to hold his drool cup?

You gotta go around!

It's okay. The shot
will make it numb.

Mommy...

Excuse me. Mrs. Wallace?

Hi, I'm Monte Parker.

We were at the accident scene
earlier. We worked on your husband.

Thank you for trying.

How's your daughter?

She's just cut. She'll be...

We don't get down to the city often.
We just came down to shop, see a show.

We were gonna stay the weekend.

How could this happen?

How could something
like this happen?

Well, we...

We found this in our ambulance
when we got back to the station.

We wanted to give it to you.

Why?

- It's not your husband's?
- No.

I've never seen that before.
- Mommy!

Excuse me.

It's okay. It's okay.

All I'm saying is, meet
Marie's aunt. You might like her.

Why do you need to fix me up?

It would be good for you
to get out and socialize.

Might lighten your mood.

Something wrong
with my disposition?

- Not a thing.
- Damn right!

Where's our squad?

Hey, Sully?

Somebody had a lot
of time on their hands.

Bosco!

We're gonna figure out from all those
potentials who the watch belongs to?

It's a man's watch, so whoever
didn't reclaim it probably...

Probably isn't alive, which
narrows it down to what, 30 people?

Seventeen.

That should take up
the rest of the night.

- Got something better to do?
- Besides go on runs?

- In between calls.
- Yeah, what the hell?

Oh, I always wanted a Jaeger.

Well, on City pay, you're gonna
be wanting one for a long time.

I won't be on City pay forever.

- What, are you gonna hit the lotto?
- I'm going to school, pre-med.

- What?
- Nothing. That's great.

After I get an M.D., this
is gonna look good on me.

- Carlos?
- Yeah?

Take off the watch.

What I wouldn't give to
see the look on Sully's face.

- Did you hear about the tape?
- What tape?

I was talking to a couple
of guys at the house.

A cop got caught on a
surveillance camera...

getting hot and heavy
in Rinaldi's parking lot.

- Manager's gonna bring the tape.
- They got a surveillance camera?

Somebody's ass is
heading for the shredder.

- Why even consider it?
- I like Springsteen.

I like Ibrahim Ferrer...

but I'm not so desperate to
see him that I'd go with a jagoff.

Jimmy's not a jagoff.
He's my ex-husband.

- What's the harm?
- You'll sleep with him.

- No...
- Then you'll whine...

about what a jerk
he is for a week.

- Won't happen.
- Sun ain't gonna shine.

- It won't.
- Sure.

- Fine.
- Okay.

Whatever. Hey,
sir. How you doing?

Not good at all.

Felt a tug, then I
got shoved down.

Thought it was some rude
kids. Then my purse was gone...

and this man ran
down the street.

- This man, did you get a look at him?
- No, it happened too fast.

It would help if you gave us
a list of the stuff in your purse.

Pictures, credit cards, two
tickets to the Mets game for tonight.

- Anything of value?
- Anything...?

Do you know how hard
it is to get Mets tickets?

I'm sorry, I'm a Yankees fan.

- Can we give you a lift home?
- No.

I'm just a few blocks
from here. I'll be all right.

Know what I'm thinking?

How we can get Bosco
back for parking in our squad?

Uh... No.

Mets tickets are for
tonight. Perp might use them.

Perps are dumb, but not so stupid
they'd use tickets they just stole.

You think?

I told him, "Watch your
weight and cholesterol."

He watched it grow. You wanna
know what his idea of exercise was?

Yelling at me to look for the remote!
Keenan, stop teasing your sister!

We're sorry about your loss.
- You're sorry?

Know how much it
costs to bury people?

Where am I supposed
to get that kind of money?

I should wrap him up in paper
and leave him by the curb.

We wanted to return
your husband's watch.

Well, let's see it.

- That ain't his.
- Are you sure?

That costs money.

The only thing he spent more
than a dollar on was a six-pack.

Keenan, don't make me
come over there and smack you.

We're sorry to have bothered
you in your time of bereavement.

Hey, hey! The watch, can I keep it?
I mean, it's worth something, right?

I said stop it. Keenan,
go sit down right there.

Bosco!

- 55-David.
- 55-David.

55-David, desk wants
you in immediately.

- Immediately? What's up?
- Requested from the CO.

55-David, 10-4.

I wonder what the captain wants.

Remember when you took time
off to see your kid in a school play?

Yeah, what about it?

While you were
gone, I used the RMP...

for some
non-regulation activities.

It was you?

In our car? Who was the girl?

- You don't wanna know.
- I gotta drive in this.

Who was shining the seat?

Trust me, you don't wanna know.

I get the feeling this whole "return-
the-watch" thing isn't working out.

- You really want to be a doctor?
- All my life.

- So why become a paramedic?
- No money for school.

Marines trained me to
be a medic, got me my AA.

I take classes mornings, weekends.
Work here afternoons, nights.

It'll take discipline.

- I'm gonna make it.
- Sure you are. Come on.

Major League Baseball
and the New York Mets...

would like to thank you
early arrivals for participating...

Son of a bitch.

- Your seat?
- What's that?

- This seat, is it yours?
- Yeah, yeah, it is.

- Would you stand up, please?
- Why?

Don't make a scene.
Just come with us.

- I didn't do anything.
- There's laws against purse-snatching.

- I didn't steal anything.
- You said these were your seats.

Tickets were taken
from a stolen purse.

Okay, these are not my seats,
all right? I was way in the back.

Guy says to me he doesn't
like sitting low, would I switch?

Fifth row! What was I to do?

- This guy, what did he look like?
- He looked...

You won't believe this,
but he looked like a clown.

Move it, move it, move the dogs.

Coming through, coming through.

Hey, Bozo!

Stay right there.

You'll never take
me alive, coppers!

I should be so lucky.

All right.

What the hell are you clapping for?
They're minions of the fascist state!

Today, me!
Tomorrow, you! Attica!

Attica! Attica! Attica!

What the hell was I thinking?
The front seat of a squad.

I got problems, you
know that? Hmm?

- I need...
- Therapy?

I need to be shot.

I need to be shot in the head.

- How much longer will Stick be?
- Don't know. He's in with his daughter.

Hey, Yokas.

Hi, Maurice.

The captain's daughter?

You did it in the front of the squad
on tape with the captain's daughter?

Bosco, that girl is barely 18!

She just turned 19.

And what was that?
Her birthday present?

Boscorelli!

Oh, God, I need to be shot.

I don't think you need
to worry about that.

What were you thinking? What
in the hell were you thinking?

I know...

I know I've done a lot of
stupid, stupid things before.

I want you to know
how much I think of her.

She's a fine young lady.

Fine young ladies don't do it
in the front seat of a cop car!

You can't blame
her. I talked her into it.

- Then she's gullible and loose!
- You're being kind of hard.

Somebody needs to
take a hard line here!

You're not much
on responsibility!

Apparently neither is your
girlfriend, whoever she is.

- You don't know?
- I don't know. I don't wanna know.

My only business is dealing with
cops who duck calls to get a little action.

- This one's getting written up.
- Sir...

It'll kill me for my
next ESU review.

- You want worse?
- No, sir.

Then get out of my office
and get back on the streets!

Uh-huh.

Bosco.

He knows I'm looking to get
him back for parking our squad.

I'm gonna be patient,
let him sweat a little.

But I will get him back.
Don't you worry about it.

I'm not.

Davis. Looks like our jacker.

Stay close. We'll
take him from behind.

Police! Don't move!

Put your hands up! Get them up!
- Don't shoot!

- Hands behind your head.
- What the hell's going on?

- He's a suspect.
- The hell he is!

I'm on the job, ass...

Go! Go! Go! Way to
go, Serpico! Let's go!

- Hey.
- Hey. What's up?

I'm doing a run.

Cab versus wino. Cab won.
Bobby's inside if you're looking for him.

No, that's okay.

- Can I ask you something personal?
- Yeah.

- You and Bobby got something going on?
- What?

I'd understand. You've
known him longer than I.

Me and Bobby? No.

- What about someone else?
- Nobody.

Why are you asking?

Bobby's a great guy.
He's funny, he's handsome.

But sometimes when he's
with me, he's not quite with me.

As hard as he tries, it's like
he'd rather be with someone else.

You gotta know, whatever
the problem is, it's not you.

I'd like to know what
my competition is.

I don't know if it'll help,
but I'll talk with him.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

How many addicts go
to the hospital each day?

Maybe one stole the watch,
then dropped it in the bus.

How many shot-up bangers
we run into? Same thing.

Ever think one of the Mercy docs
lost it in the bus helping us move a vic?

It wasn't a doctor. They don't like
to dirty their hands moving patients.

Have to. They're doctors.

- What you want?
- We're looking for Evan Hazlit.

What you want?

We want to know if this
watch belongs to you.

Yeah, that's mine.

What's the inscription
on the back say?

It says, none of your
damn business! It's private!

Now give me my damn watch!
- Hey!

- Shut the hell up with that shouting.
- They won't give me my watch back!

Give him his watch back.

- It's not his.
- Give him his watch.

Let's get the hell out of here.

- Now.
- Yeah.

- Now!
- It's not his watch.

Better take your skinny
ass on out of here!

A letter of
reprimand, that's it?

He looked at his own daughter
on tape and didn't know it.

There's definitely some
church in my future.

Where's our car?

Somebody stole a police
car in broad daylight.

Sullivan!

- I'll put it out over the air.
- No, you're not.

I took Sully's squad,
so he took ours.

- I'll call Sully.
- Elchisak's already hot on me.

I don't need him knowing I
lost a squad. We'll find Sully.

How we supposed to
do that without wheels?

- This really isn't on my route.
- Just drive.

- Can he commandeer a bus like this?
- Probably not.

I hear you're kind of running
hot and cold with Dana.

If you're gonna date her, date
her. Don't "kind of" date her.

Hey, we're cool. You don't
need to give me crap about it.

And the crap you give
me about Doherty?

I give you crap about him because
I listen to your crap about him.

You go on about how he mistreated
you, how he cheated on you.

It's my fault he's a jerk?

It is if you know he's a jerk
and keep sleeping with him.

- You know your problem?
- Tell me.

It's easier to go out with him
than to work on a real relationship.

Who are you to tell me about me?
You're the one with the problems.

Know why you fail with women?

- Who says?
- All 58 women I fixed you up with.

You've got a mother complex.
You got a thing with her.

- A "thing"?
- Yeah, it's like you're dating her.

You were gonna take Rachel to
the Mets game but couldn't. Why?

Promised mom I'd
paint the kitchen.

Tina wanted to go to Atlantic
City? You couldn't. Why?

- Shut up.
- Mommy was getting a couch.

She's first, everything
else is second. No big deal.

A lot of guys put their
mom first. Norman Bates.

- Are you gonna walk?
- No, you are. Get out.

- You're gonna leave me...?
- Out!

Whoa.

There's Sully. That
squad there, cut it off.

Maybe if I honk
and flash the lights.

I got the badge, you got your
name sewn on your shirt! Cut him off!

Bos, shut up. Just honk
your horn and flash your lights.

- Where's my squad?
- What's going on?

- Give it back!
- What's he talking about?

Bos parked in front, and when
we came out, the squad was gone.

- You took it! Give it back!
- Why would I take your squad?

I parked yours in the alley
after you put flour in ours.

I wouldn't have put flour in it if
you hadn't put a sign on mine!

- I didn't put any sign on your car.
- "Old women make me wet."

They do?

- Hey, guys.
- You didn't put a sign on my car?

- Doherty!
- Excuse me.

- Damn it.
- Excuse me, guys!

What?!

Wasn't that 55-David
just drove by?

- Normally I ride up front.
- How about you ride in silence?

- I got some guy stealing my squad.
- I think he already stole it.

Technically, right now he's making
a getaway, a very slow getaway.

- I'm calling for backup.
- No backup!

The last thing I need is me getting
the squad boost going over the wire.

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God, it's Ric.

You know him?

- He's a friend of Bosco's.
- He's not my friend.

He's a retarded guy from the
neighborhood who thinks he's a cop.

Pull it over.

Pull over!

Pull the car over!

Pull it over!

Give me that. Will you shut up?

- Shut up!
- Shut up!

- Shut up!
- Oh!

The guy is too stupid to listen.
He's gotta get tired of driving.

Pull back and follow him.
I don't want any attention.

How can we not attract attention?
We're chasing him at 12 miles an hour.

All we need now is a white
Bronco and Johnnie Cochran.

- Is that 55-David?
- It's 55-Charlie.

What the hell are they doing?

55-Charlie, is everything okay?

Yeah, some guy just
boosted Bosco's RMP.

They stole a police car?

- We'll handle it.
- No!

Don't handle it!
Don't handle anything!

56-Baker in pursuit of
a stolen police vehicle.

Request all available backup.

Continuing our live
coverage of a bizarre incident.

We've got our chopper above
the situation now in midtown...

where a police car is being
chased rather slowly by several...

- Whose precinct is that?
- Ours. It's 55-David.

Bosco.

- This is getting out of hand.
- This is not my fault.

- Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
- Look at this.

Hands out of the window!

Put of the window, now!

Weapons down! Put
your weapons down!

Holster your weapon!
Weapons down!

Weapons down!

Ric?

Ric.

Big Ric. Shift's over, bud.

You don't have to drive
anymore. Turn over your unit.

Ric?

We gotta get back to the precinct,
have some donuts, swap some stories.

That's what us cops do.

Ric?

You're a cop, right?

Come on, pal.

You want to go? Come on, Ric.

You okay, pal?

It's okay. You did
a good job, partner.

It's all right, it's all right.

You did a good job.

It's okay. It's okay.

Don't worry about any of them.

They don't know how
good a job you've done.

It's okay.

You okay? You
sure? It's okay, buddy.

Forgive the mess. As you can
see, I am in the middle of moving.

- Where are you going?
- I'm going upstate.

- Syracuse. DOC:
It's nice up there.

All I know is
that it's not here.

A couple of nights ago...

we took Dean
Thompson to the hospital.

- He was your lover?
- He was my husband.

We found this watch
in our ambulance.

And if it belonged to him, we
thought you might like to have it.

You know...

Dean was really a lousy dresser.

I mean, forget stereotypes.

His favorite colors
were brown and orange.

Wherever we went,
people would say:

"Dean, you've done it
again. You're your own man."

And I'd think, "What
are they talking about?"

He's not bold. He's
a lousy dresser.

I'm sorry.

He never cared much for watches.

It's not his.

Sorry to bother you.

- That's it, we're done.
- Give me the watch.

- No.
- Hey, give it to me.

No, we're not going out to
almost get our asses kicked again...

or drive someone else to tears.

You gave it a shot. It's over.

No, it's not over!
I'm trying to help.

Help what? Help people
have nervous breakdowns?

This isn't about
them. It's about you.

I'm taking this to the station.

Whoever lost it, they
can come claim it.

Sully, I think I got the jacker.

- He's heading northbound on 8th.
- Damn.

Davis, stay with
him! Don't lose him!

But don't take him.

We're underground! 23 and Park!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Everybody stay down.

No, no, no! No, no, no, no!

Police! Don't move!

Can't get us both.

Only choice you got is which
one of us blows you away.

Put the gun down.

Put it down.

Kick it away.

Step toward me. Grab the gate.

- Davis!
- I got him, I got him.

You're messing my paint job.

I told Doherty I didn't
want to go to the concert.

I think he was
actually disappointed.

But he'll live.

That or get another girl to go.

Anyway...

Thanks for your advice.

- See you tomorrow.
- Look, I'm wrong, you're right.

- What else do you want?
- Lay off my relationship with my mom.

Maybe it's a joke to you, but when
my father left, I had to step up...

take care of the
family. I didn't ask to.

You got nine others in the
house, you do what you gotta do.

Me helping out, me
taking care of things...

doesn't change because
my mother gets remarried.

If you knew the first
thing about responsibility...

I wouldn't be standing here
trying to explain it to you.

Bobby.

My ex may come up with child
support if he doesn't gamble it away.

I got a 6-year-old and
my sister can't hold a job.

I know a couple things
about responsibility.

I know what it's like
to be overwhelmed.

You're my best friend.

You're the only one I can talk to
when I feel like I'm going under.

Friends?

Sure.

You should be proud.
- I did nothing.

Except stay cool when it was
crazy. It might not be much...

but keeping your head, for you
that's like climbing a mountain.

That's a compliment, right?
- Boscorelli.

Sir, what happened with the
squad was my fault, not Yokas'.

I was driving. I left it
unattended. It won't happen again.

- Not for the next week.
- Sir?

- You're off patrol.
- You're putting me on a desk?

- Wouldn't that be nice? Wilson?
- No.

I gotta spend a week
babysitting scuzzbags?

Lucky you're not
looking at 30, no pay.

If you talking that guy out of the
car wasn't on the news, you would be.

All right.

Oh, my God!

It's Long Dong McDirk!

Shut up.

Hi.

Hi. You're not
still on, are you?

No.

You wanna get a drink?

Or something to eat or...?

If you don't want to, if you
just wanna sit and talk...

Because right now I just...

I'd really like to spend
some time with you.

I'm off in 20.

I'll wait.

Yeah. KIM: It's Kim.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I was around.

You wanna talk? Get
some coffee or something?

I just wanna go to bed.

Man, I was in rare form. It

I wasn't doing all of that for
those people. I was doing it for me.

It's what I would've wanted someone
to do for me when my wife died.

All I was doing was
causing a lot of hurt.

You would've never
let me get that far.

You'd have set me straight first time
I opened my mouth about that watch.

Boy, I could use you back at
the station, Jerry. I need you back.

The sooner, the better.
