Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 4 - Hell Is What You Make of It - full transcript

Previously on Third Watch:

We got a car in the
water at 135 and King!

- It's bad, isn't it?
- Keep the mask on, Jerry!

- You know your problem?
- Tell me.

It's easier for you to go out with
Doherty than work at a relationship.

- I'm trying.
- It's not about them. It's about you.

- They got a camera?
- Somebody's heading for the shredder.

Hi, Maurice.

The captain's daughter?

Give it up!

- No!
- Police! Don't move.



No!

- No way!
- Hey, Jimmy.

- That's my spot.
- Looks like it's my spot.

You saw me waiting.

- Possession's nine-tenths of the law.
- Hey.

Get your damn car out of there!

You got a problem,
bucket-boy, call a cop!

Yossi's in the
pool! He's drowning!

We tried to get him out!

What happened?

We were jumping off the roof. He hit
his head. My mother's gonna kill us!

I got him!

One, two, three.

No pulse. He's in arrest.



We're not supposed to
swim when she's not here.

- Asystole.
- Is he gonna be okay?

Squeeze this bag every
time she gets to five.

Come on! Let's go! Squeeze
it! Hurry up, help me out!

Squeeze.

One, two, three, four...

How long has he been in?
- A while.

- You see the cords?
- Looking.

Okay, I'm in.

He's in fib. Hit him with 200.

Clear? KIM: Yeah.

Got a rhythm.

Let's get some lido.

Can you get in touch with your mother?
Tell her to meet us at Angel of Mercy.

Do you have to whistle?

Sorry.

I'm feeling good.

Woke up early, played some
hoops in the park. There's no rain.

It'll be a great day.

It's Monday.
Mondays always suck.

You gotta try a
more positive attitude.

Day's gonna be
what you make of it.

Go ahead and clear us.

55-Charlie to Central. We
are 10-98. We are clear.

Ninety percent of how you feel is
mental attitude. You can control that.

Please tell me you're not gonna
break into "Feeling Groovy."

55-Charlie, I'm holding
12 calls in your sector.

Damn it!

Central, just give
us the highlights.

Three family disputes, a purse
snatch, MVA, property only...

a female stuck in a tub, four
burglaries, a dog-beating...

and a suspicious odor.

A suspicious odor?

Oh, man. This day's
really gonna suck.

Torre's a joke. Yankees
are mercenaries.

With their payroll, my grandmother
could manage them into the playoffs.

Boscorelli! - Yo.

Got a delivery for you. - Yeah?

There's a card.

"Dearest Maurice, thanks
for a very special night.

Signed, Lance.

P.S. You left your gym bag
at the Chelsea Bathhouse."

Give me that!

It's Doherty, a fireman across
the street. We had a fight.

He wants to make up.

He's getting even because I
parked my car in his space.

Is that what they're
calling it now?

All right. Funny. Very funny.

Don't you want your flowers?

Give them to your
wife, Kowalski.

Maybe she'll let you
get lucky for once.

You been getting out
in the sun enough?

You don't get sunlight,
that can affect your mood.

Vitamin D.

When you get out of the car, look up.
Bangers see it, they send down airmail.

Cat litter, eggs, garbage.

Exercise is important too.

Releases endorphins.

Even a couple minutes a
day can make a difference.

Don't take the elevator.

The bastards throw burning
trash down on top of it.

Stay to the side.

You can forget trying to
wreck my good mood...

Ow.

The dealers put bacon grease on
them so we slip if we chase after them.

Watch the walls.

Roaches.

Neighbor called about the smell.

- How long since you seen him?
- A week. Maybe two.

- Oh, damn!
- I think I'll wait outside.

Check the other room.
Yell if you find him.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, damn.

Oh. Oh, my God.

Oh!

Ah, Mondays.

Doherty's dead.

- You scared they think you're gay?
- Damn right.

What do you care
what they think?

Yeah, like you'd be delighted if
everyone thought you were a lesbian.

I'm a female cop. Everyone
assumes I'm a lesbian.

- Fred's always thought you were gay.
- What?

Something about
the way you walk.

- What about the way I walk?
- You kinda sway.

It's just the belt with all that crap
on it. It makes everybody walk funny.

Stand back, please.

- Excuse me.
- She's having trouble breathing.

- This ever happen before?
- I don't know.

- Does she have asthma?
- I'm her foster parent.

I just picked her up from the
agency a couple of hours ago.

- Do you have asthma?
- Yes, I...

- Where's her inhaler?
- They didn't give me anything.

- Where's your inhaler?
- I... don't know.

Okay. That's okay.

I want you to take a couple of
deep breaths for me, all right?

They give you a kid and they don't
bother to tell you she has asthma?

Put that in your mouth.

Come on.

- They bother to tell you her name?
- Chantelle.

Chantelle, we're gonna
take you to the hospital.

Have you ever been intubated?

Did they ever...

put a tube down your
throat to help you breathe?

Okay.

Where's my mom?

- I'm right here, baby.
- No.

My real mom.

Sit over here.

There you go.

Is your breathing
getting easier? No?

What are you doing?

She needs epi. 0.3
of 1:1000 sub-cu.

No epi. Just talk to her.

This is Adam 553. We
have a 12-year-old female...

Okay, relax.

Shh.

Her breathing's not improving.

We've given one Preventil.
If no relief, we'll repeat.

- No, please.
- Get that needle out of her face.

- She needs the epi!
- She needs to calm down.

ETA, five minutes.

Look, just drive, okay? Get out.

You might want
to come in, ma'am.

It's gonna be okay, Chantelle,
all right? It's gonna be fine.

So how was your date with Dana?

Fine.

- They ought to be in here. Looking?
- I'm looking!

- Did you guys knock boots?
- Hey.

Don't mince words. Just
ask what you need to know.

On the right.

I saw it.

Why are you so damn
interested in me and Dana?

- I'm not, if you're weird about it.
- No, fine.

You want to know
if I slept with her?

- Yes, I slept with her.
- Oh.

The one who did this
doesn't interest you?

Oh, man.

She's not talking.

So to us, mystery girl took some
lumps from mystery guy, who's gone.

- Plus, she's high.
- No mystery.

This is Sunny. Say hello
to Officer Yokas, Sunny.

Guy heard some yelling, saw some
greaseball use her face as a heavy bag.

Perp took off before we saw him.

- You hurt your hip or something?
- What?

You're walking funny.

He's self-conscious today.

There's not a damn thing
wrong with how I walk.

- We got what we need. You cool?
- Yeah, we're set.

Your pimp do this to you?

You want to tell us
what his name is?

Oh, check it out.

Sunny, look at me.

You're not gonna
make it much longer.

Saint Mary's, on the Bowery.

- It's a good shelter for kids.
- I'm not going to any shelter.

They got detox. Clean beds.

You'll be dead by Christmas.

We're gonna get a call and
find you facedown in the gutter.

OD'd or beaten to death.

Take the address, will you?

- Sugar in his gas tank.
- Not funny.

- Dog crap in his fire helmet.
- Unoriginal.

Oh, please! He's gonna jump!
Oh, my God! It's my son, Larry!

Honey, come down.
You're scaring us.

- Let us try.
- I'll handle this.

- It's a jumper. You don't like jumpers.
- I got it.

You take the family.

- Stay back. I'll jump!
- In front of your mom?

Don't come any closer.

Whoa.

That's a long way
down. That's gonna hurt.

- Mad at your mom?
- What?

No, I love my mother.

This is a pretty ugly
way of showing it.

Leaving her with the memory
of the ME shoveling you...

into some body bags and
hosing off the sidewalk.

- Just stay back!
- Give me a hand.

I'll help you down, we'll
talk about what's so wrong.

- David left me.
- David?

After four years, this
morning he just got up and left.

Yokas! Maybe you should do this.

Don't be an ass.

Listen, Larry...

I can relate.

How could you possibly?
- Larry, hey, I do.

You feel like there's never
gonna be anyone else.

I've been there.

But you know what? You gotta pick
yourself up and get right back out there.

- I'll never meet anyone like David.
- He's a jerk.

Come on, man. Look at you.

You're a handsome guy.

You think so? BOSCO: Yeah.

Guys are gonna be falling all
over themselves to get to you.

Come on.

Come on. Let's go in.

Please! I don't want to die!

- Okay, we got him!
- Oh, thank God!

Don't let go! BOSCO: I won't!

We won't!

- Don't let me go!
- Hold on!

Oops.

Her respiratory rate came
down after the second nebulizer.

Doesn't mean the epi
wouldn't have helped her.

She had a history of intubation,
her breathing wasn't improving...

She was terrified, and that
needle was making her panic.

- She needed the epi.
- She needed you to calm her down.

I don't appreciate you
pimping me all the time.

I'm your training officer.

I'm not some new jack. I spent four
years as a corpsman in the Marines.

So what? That doesn't
make you a good paramedic.

You have to consider
who the patient is.

If it's a kid, you don't ask a lot of
questions in medical pig Latin...

to prove how smart you are.

And if they're scared, you don't
frighten them even more with needles.

You hold their hand.

She would've calmed down if
she had some respiratory relief.

This is what I teach.

If you don't think you have anything to
learn from me, fine. But this is my bus.

As long as you're riding
in it, we do things my way.

We understand each other?

Sure.

Do I have to get new shoes?
Can't I just clean these up?

You stepped in dead guy.
Can't clean those. You burn them.

- What size you wear?
- They not gonna have any in my size.

- What size?
- Seventeen.

- Seventeen?
- Yeah, I got big feet.

Bozo's got big feet.
Those are water skis.

In three weeks, nobody even
knew that guy was missing.

Yeah.

When I go, I hope it's at the curb.
I'm fairly sure someone will notice.

55-Charlie, 10-52,
family dispute in progress.

501 East 87 at York.
Apartment 7-Boy.

We still got a backlog, central.

- Sounded like a hot one.
- And the hits just keep on coming.

Why do those guys
always want a big show?

Want to kill yourself, make it a
private affair. You and a shotgun.

In the tub, where
it's easy to clean up.

- "Those" guys?
- I meant jumpers.

I wasn't referring to him
as being light in his loafers.

Does "homophobic"
mean anything to you?

A guy on my high school football
team was gay. I played right beside him.

You take a shower with him?

What, so he could check me out?

All units in 55,
restaurant fire.

3900 Broadway at
7273. Fire responding.

That's us.

Your blood pressure's good...

120/80. Pulse 88.

- Can you tell me where it hurts?
- Oh, all over.

I've been throwing up.

She's got the runs too.

No tenderness,
rebound or guarding.

Skin signs are normal.

Looks like gastroenteritis.
You should take her to a doctor.

You're not taking
her to the hospital?

We only take people to the
hospital if it's an emergency.

We got rights!

I'm sorry. She doesn't
need an ambulance.

Hang on, hang on.
We'll be glad to take her.

What?

Get the cot.

- It's the stomach flu.
- Just get the damn cot.

No! Hey, no way! Everybody
out! MAN: I'm the owner.

You can't go back in.

- But my things!
- The fire department is coming.

Hey, it's not safe.

My grandfather brought all
this from Damascus. Please.

Fire will break the windows
and douse everything with water.

- How far in the back?
- The kitchen.

You tell us what to get.
- Thank God.

The paintings and the
chairs. They're antiques!

Hey, it'll be all right.

You son of a bitch!
How dare you!

Told you today was gonna suck.

Do what I do and try
to stay out of the way.

Police!

Hurry, please, before
they kill each other!

How dare you touch my money!

Great. Thanks.

You son of a bitch. I told
you not to touch that money!

Stay away from me!

Hey, knock it off! EDGAR: Oh.

Oh, great. What,
did you call them?

- Good, Edith.
- It's no one's business!

Tell them how much you lost!

- Shut up!
- He thinks he can day trade.

In one morning, wiped away the
kids' college money, my money!

Yours? Everything you've
got is because of me!

It's okay, guys.

- Get away from my kids!
- I'm just trying... Stop it.

Davis, help me with this guy!

You're under arrest, sir.

- What for?
- You gotta be kidding me.

You bastards could've
taken me out the back.

- You're enjoying this.
- Oh, yeah, it's the high point of my day.

Watch your head, sir.

What were you doing in there?

- Staying out of the way.
- He was swinging at me.

I was calming the kids...

First we get the
situation under control.

Then when we're certain everything
is safe, you can start babysitting.

We're partners!

I gotta know you've
always got my back.

Hey.

You got a second? KIM: Yeah.

- Bobby, can you...?
- Sure.

What's up?

Want to talk?

I guess.

What's that place
like... Saint Mary's?

It's better than the streets.

We can go check it out.

- Right now?
- Yeah.

Take the ambulance.

Come on.

You can ride up front
with us for a change.

One side, please. One side.

Thank God you're here!

- The fire's in back! In the kitchen!
- All right.

- Doherty, payback is a bitch.
- Move that across the street, ladies.

Real men got work to do.

He just call me a lady?

Shut up. I should be more
offended by that than you.

- I just want to say hi.
- No pulling her into the patient showers.

- It'll only take two seconds.
- I heard that about you.

I asked the care
extender to order a CBC.

You know what she says?
"How do you spell that?"

Oh, my God!

Punk.

Want something from the lounge?
- Yeah, coffee.

- I'll see you on Saturday?
- That's what we said.

You guys are cute together.

- Put some money in for a change.
- I threw in.

What? Like three months ago?

All right.

I'm feeling flush. Jimmy came up
with half the child support this morning.

Jimmy Doherty? What happened?
Somebody remind him he has a kid?

My wallet's gone.

- It's probably in the bus.
- I haven't taken it out all shift.

- Sunny. Damn it!
- Don't jump to conclusions.

We left her in the bus for
30 seconds while we got gas.

I put my whole day on
hold to drive her over there.

- How much did you have in there?
- 200 bucks.

Son of a bitch.

Five minutes and we're out of
here. I don't care if traffic backs up.

You people saved
my business. Enjoy.

- Meat?
- Ribeyes, filet mignon.

- The freezers are ruined, so...
- Thank you, sir. That's very nice.

Guys, check it out!

Whoa! How much we got in there?

- "We"? He didn't hand you anything.
- We were the first ones on the scene.

And what did you do?
You called for the big boys.

Bosco's right. Jimmy, we were the
ones here to save the guy's furniture.

You directed traffic.

Fish, call Dave. Tell
him to stop cooking.

We're having ourselves
a little barbecue!

There. There he is.

What are you doing?

Dispatch, this is Adam 552.

We're on scene. Holding for PD.

- He's right there!
- We'll wait for the cops.

552, copy that. Backup
ETA, four to six minutes.

Hey! There's visible
weapons. We wait.

Come on!

What are you waiting for?

- We should be out there.
- It's not safe.

- He's bleeding to death!
- There's a man down.

We don't know
where the shooter is!

Son of a bitch!

What? Going home now?

Cops will be here in a second.

She never even checked in.

Let's head back to the station.
I gotta cancel 16 credit cards.

What? You try raising
a 6-year-old on City pay.

I didn't say anything.

Plus Doherty stiffs me on
Joey's checks half the time.

- I didn't say anything.
- We gotta pick up Joey at aftercare.

- Where's your mom?
- Out.

- Out?
- Don't ask.

She'll pick him up
in a couple hours.

When you open yourself up
just a little bit, people screw you.

Nice truck.

I saved up a long time
but she's finally mine.

- Where are you going?
- A bachelorette party.

Who's the unlucky girl?

She is.

Hi.

Looks like the
party's already started.

We're having a barbecue ourselves
later. Why don't you stop by?

Where?

5-7. King and Arthur.

- I'm Jimmy.
- See you later, Jimmy.

It's remarkable how
well I can work this truck.

After we switch buses, we
should get something to eat.

What do you feel like?

You got something
to say, say it.

- We should've gotten out of the bus.
- We followed procedure.

Procedure is we rush flu patients to
the ER, but watch shooting victims die?

- They dropped a chest tube. He's fine.
- That's not the point.

- The woman was sick.
- She had the runs.

- How will she get to the doctor? Cab?
- She's not helpless.

Just dirt poor, or
didn't you notice?

Yeah, I noticed!

But we're not a taxi service. We're
supposed to be emergency workers.

We're supposed to help people.

Look, we just have
different styles.

We'll have to figure out how to work
together if we're gonna be partners.

We're not gonna be partners.

You're just keeping the
seat warm till Jerry gets back.

Come on. It's not worth it.

You don't want a
piece, stay in the unit.

All right, Doherty.

You had your fun. I gotta admit,
the flower thing was pretty good.

- What flowers?
- Yeah. But the meat?

That's not right. We were there
first, helping him save his stuff.

And it's only fair
that we split the loot.

So I'm asking you, nicely.

Do the right thing and
hand over some beef.

Oh, yeah. Your car's
still parked in my spot.

I got the spot, you
scored with the flowers.

Let's just call this even
before things get ugly.

What're you gonna do?

Stand in the middle of the street
and belt out some Streisand tunes?

The meat.

You share it, we let
bygones be bygones.

No.

No?

No.

Boom-chica-boom-chica-boom.

- So now what?
- No idea.

What happened to your
good mood, Mister Rogers?

Clouds passing over your
sunny side of the street?

No, I'm just not hungry.

Was it the stinker?

Maggots.

They'll do it every time.

But you gotta eat.

- Hey, Doc. Grab a seat.
- Yeah.

Guess we're at the kiddie table.

Boy, oh boy, oh boy.

God, what is that smell?

The food?

No, that would be my shoes.

I stepped in dead guy.

Sounds like the same day I've had.
- On the way over...

we had this guy cuffed in the back,
just arrested him for beating his wife.

This guy's talking about how he'll
kill her as soon as he gets out of jail.

Sully leans over, asks
me what I want for lunch.

My old lady wouldn't get
out of the bus at a shooting.

Guy's bleeding to death out on the
street, and we're sitting on our asses.

What are we doing out here if we're not
gonna step up and get our hands dirty?

Is this what you expected?

Hell, no.

I don't know the card
number. It was stolen.

Look, now I've told
you, it's your problem.

Yeah. You too.

Yeah, well, I hope someone
charges a Mercedes on it.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Where have you been?

I told you I was having drinks
with someone after work.

- A guy?
- Yeah, a guy.

- You get rid of Herman?
- No.

This new guy, is he married too?

- Where's Joey?
- Joey, your grams is here.

- Stop calling me that.
- What's the matter, Granny?

Afraid you might have
to start acting your age?

Joey, let's go!

Bobby's great with him.

- Don't start with me.
- You tell me what's wrong with him.

Look at him. He's
handsome, he's smart...

Nice, responsible.

You say it like it's a disease.

He's too passive. I
need a guy with an edge.

Someone spontaneous. Someone
I can have a good fight with.

Hey, Catherine.

What's up?

15525 is petty larceny.
14025 is burglary.

We use them all the time. You
better start remembering them now.

I used to have a system
when I started but now I...

Davis, don't go
down there. Don't...

He's been taken to the court
building. You can bail him out there.

He's going to jail?

- Mrs. Fontaine?
- I, uh...

- What are you doing?
- I went to the bank...

- You gonna bail your husband out?
- This was all my fault.

Have you been to the hospital?

We lost a lot of money. I got
upset. He got upset. I provoked him.

This will happen again.
You need to get to a shelter.

No, we're fine.

He doesn't usually get
violent. This was a mistake.

And what about your kids?

Come on, Dillon.

Thank you for your
concern, but we're fine.

- Mrs. Fontaine, you need to...
- Davis.

We're gonna be back
over there next week.

- Probably. DAVIS:
And that's it?

- We don't do anything to try to stop it?
- We did. We put him in jail.

- She wants to bail him out, she can.
- What if he kills her?

- You get involved, you make mistakes.
- Then I'll make them.

It's better than standing around
and watching everything go to hell.

- Bobby, you got a sec?
- I got an errand to run.

- Can I tag along?
- You ask Doc?

- Believe me, he won't care.
- You still need his okay.

Hey.

I'm gonna ask the captain to
assign me a new training officer.

I was hoping you'd
be willing to take me.

Come on.

- This about what happened?
- You heard about that?

- You're supposed to wait for PD.
- We don't, not usually.

Last time Doc didn't
wait, Jerry got shot.

- That's the job. We all know the risk.
- Hey, cut him a break.

It's only been a
couple of weeks.

You know about his wife?

Debra.

Was killed in a boating
accident last year.

She was water-skiing.
Fell and hit her head.

She was in a coma for weeks.
She never regained consciousness.

You want me to train you? Sure.

But Doc's the best
paramedic in the city.

Hang with the car.
I'll be right back.

Hey. Sunny! How you doing?

Where you going? Aren't
you happy to see me?

- Do I know you?
- Yeah, we're old friends.

You even threw up on me.

- The wallet.
- What wallet?

The one you boosted from my
partner, who was stupid enough...

to think you were worth helping.

You want me to call a cop?

Right now. You give
it up, you walk away.

- We got a problem?
- I'm okay, 'Bama.

You're named "'Bama"?

What do you care
what my name is?

- Did you give her a beating earlier?
- No.

She fell down. She hit the curb.

Okay, okay! BOBBY: Now!

- Where's the money?
- It's gone.

Find someplace
else to pimp little girls.

- Dana, we got a call for a rape?
- Exam One.

I gotta take a leak.

Hang loose. I'll be right back.

- You new?
- Yeah.

- Ty Davis.
- Dana Murphy.

- Where was that rape?
- Exam One.

Thanks.

Sorry. Excuse me.

I must have misheard you on
the room number for that rape case.

No, you got the right
room. Exam One.

Doc.

Someone here to see you.

- Hi, can I help you?
- Hi, I'm Lauren Miller. Remember me?

No, I'm sorry. I don't.

You and your partner delivered
my baby last year outside the zoo.

Oh, yeah. She was premature.

Oh, my God. Is this her?

This is Kenyana.

Say hello to the man who
saved your life, sweetheart.

Hi. How are you?

I wanted to thank you both before,
but it was touch-and-go for 5 months.

Then I had to go back to work.

She looks great now.

Thanks to you and your partner.
Sorry, I can't remember his name.

Jerry.

Jerry Mankowitz.

He's not here but
I'll tell him for you.

Okay. Oh, I baked you these.

I hope you like
them. It isn't much.

- You kidding? They're chocolate.
- They have nuts. Hope that's all right.

Oh, sure. Thank you.

Would you like to hold her?

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Hi.

Hi.

I'm John Sullivan.

This is Officer Davis.

You want to report a rape?

- Your daughter?
- Yes.

You know who did it?

My husband, her stepfather.

We'll have to ask your
daughter a few questions.

Okay?

Honey...

these men are gonna talk
to you about what happened.

You just tell them what
you told Mommy, okay?

I don't know if you
noticed, but it's raining.

Bastards.

They got enough for the masses
and they won't share with us?

I think it's nice that they invited
everybody from the neighborhood.

- They're giving away my meat.
- There's nothing we can do now.

The hell there isn't.

Excuse me. My name is Bartlett.

Someone called about my
daughter and said she fell off her bike.

Mr. Bartlett, I'm
the one who called.

Is she okay?

- She's not dead, is she?
- Your daughter will be all right.

- She's with her mother.
- Thank God.

Thank God. Where
is she? Can I see her?

Let's step into a room where
we can talk more privately.

Why? What's going on? I
thought you said she was okay.

- Is Annie telling stories again?
- Can we get out of the hall, please?

She makes up things, okay?
Lies. Now, where is she?

- I need to talk to her.
- Keep your voice down.

She makes up stories about me and
about everybody. You can't believe her.

She is a lying little bitch.

Davis! Davis!

Davis, get off!

Get him off me!

Get off him!

Walk away.

Just walk away.

Come on.

Hey. Where have you been?
- I had an errand.

You got a sec? KIM: Yeah.

You found her?

Yeah, she was...

downstairs looking
for me when I got back.

I think she was too ashamed
to give it back to you herself.

The money's all in there.

You did the right thing today.
Maybe she'll pull it together.

Thanks.

She just walked in?

On her own?

People can surprise you.

- Hey. A bunch of tow trucks.
- Doing what?

They're towing our cars!

What?

Hey!

Whoa!

What are you doing?

PD said tow them
all except for that one.

- They're firemen's cars!
- Illegally parked.

We always park here.

Towing, impound...

unpaid parking tickets...
What's that run, Faith?

- $500 bucks?
- More like $1000.

$1000! Hold on, please!

All right. All right, fine.

Truce, okay?

No.

- No?
- No!

What's that smell?

That smells good.
You smell that?

- What is that?
- Meat.

- I think someone's barbecuing.
- Mm.

Damn, I love a good
barbecue. Don't you, boys?

Oh, yeah.

You okay?

Put some ice on that.

- Am I gonna get fired?
- For beating up a pedophile?

Bosses will probably
give you a ribbon.

I did it in front of witnesses.

I don't think any of those people
will be lining up to back that guy.

Yeah, well...

You told me not
to let it get to me.

Said I'd start making mistakes.

I don't know if I
can do this job.

I mean, I go to these scenes...

like that stinker...

or like that ass, beating on
his wife in front of his kids...

and I keep thinking that this is
really screwed up, you know?

Somebody ought
to call the police.

Then I remember I am the police.

So you're not pissed at
me for losing it on that guy?

No.

But if you give everybody
a beating who deserves it...

your arms are gonna be mighty
tired by the end of the night.

I still care about
the people out here.

That's why I'm still doing it.

You learn to put your energy
into things that you can change...

and let go of the
stuff you can't.

- How do you tell the difference?
- You'll figure it out.

Mondays, huh?

Oh, yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How's he doing?

The same, I guess.

Hey. Chocolate chip with nuts.

Thanks.

Are you baking?

It's a gift.

A woman came in to thank Jerry
and me for delivering her baby...

over by the zoo last year. A
preemie. He ever tell you about it?

I don't remember.

It was pretty hairy. Only
six and a half months.

She was fully dilated, no
way to get her back to the bus.

We thought we lost
the kid. But Jerry...

Jerry kept the poor little
thing going in the back.

Did the baby live?

Yeah. She had
her with her today.

Cute as hell.

A miracle.

How are you doing?

We had a shooting today.

Me and the new kid, Carlos.

I couldn't get out of the bus.

There was this banger lying in
the middle of the street, bleeding...

and I wouldn't get out of
the bus till PD got there.

Good for you.

No, I mean it.

You're supposed to go
out there without a gun...

while kids are shooting kids...

and the whole
world is going to hell?

For what?

Forty grand a year?
And crappy benefits?

I'm sorry.

No, no. Hey, you...
You got every right.

You miss Debra?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Me too.
