Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 1, Episode 8 - History of the World - full transcript

Previously on Third Watch:

On the left!

- When have you sat with your son?
- Don't start with me.

Pop the trunk.

- It was good seeing you.
- I had a great time.

He's not coming home
from camp. He was in prison.

- Back to the real world.
- It's good to be back.

Good morning, legs. It's great, the
way they just climb higher and higher.

- What are you talking about?
- Legs.

Uh-huh.

- Put shoes on them, stockings.
- Take the stockings off too.



Is that you talking?

What do you mean?

I'm not used to you
checking out the action.

Oh, no?

See the ladies going by fine like
that, you don't look or say anything.

Just because I don't shoot my mouth
off doesn't mean I don't see them.

Yeah?

You go out and all?

Is this any of your business?

Your wife died a year ago.
It'd make sense if you didn't.

I would if I found
anybody interesting.

You wear the ring. It's
not exactly a babe magnet.

Well, I don't want to be a babe
magnet. I'll leave that to you.

You're right. It's
none of my business.



- That's the possible overdose?
- He got his second wind.

- Don't let him get hurt.
- What's he on?

I don't know. He's my
neighbor, Mr. Littman.

- He is the nicest man.
- Single malt would be my guess.

- Is he a diabetic?
- I don't know.

He's dressed for a party.
Anyone from the party?

No, he's having
Thanksgiving alone.

He's gonna get
himself killed out there!

Get a dextrose ready.

- He'll need the restraints.
- The cravats are in my bag.

Mr. Littman, stay
where you are, sir! Sir...

Hey! I'm walking here!

Sir...

Hey! Stay right there,
mister! Don't move!

Be careful, Bobby. He'll fall.
Damn it, Bobby, just take it easy.

- Get down!
- You know this song.

Get down, sir, please.

If you sing with me, I'll come
down. I'll do anything you say.

- Just sing it. What the hell?
- You too.

See? The orchestra's ready.

- Come on!
- Come on.

I got him.

- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Everyone has a good time except us.

Excuse us.

You must have put it somewhere.
The 61 on last night's burglary.

No, I looked there.
I looked everyplace.

Calling Mommy, Bosco?

You can't give her one day off?

We'll find the 61 tomorrow.

Are you gonna be
all right without me?

One day? I think
I can handle it.

Well, you still sleep
with the light on.

- Is that Bosco?
- Hold on a second.

Yeah, what do you want?

He sleeps with the light
on? How'd you know?

Same way I know it's your second
Scotch and the family isn't here yet.

It's the only way I
can take your brother.

Yeah, Bosco.

My brother and my
husband at the same table.

I'd probably see less action
on the streets with you.

- Did you go to your mom's?
- Yeah, watched the Detroit game.

Ate some turkey.

All right, well,
happy Thanksgiving.

All right, you too. Bye.

Look at them. It's Thanksgiving.

- So?
- So it just doesn't seem right.

- Excuse us. Excuse us.
- Excuse us, ladies.

- Excuse me, buddy. I got it.
- All right.

How you doing?

- Ouch.
- Stay like you are, Miss...?

- Brenda.
- Brenda.

The fool who dropped
a weight on her foot.

- Partially avulsed the right big toe.
- You ripped your nail.

Any pain in the ankle?

Let's see, the weight was 30
pounds. I'd say it hurts like hell.

- Yep, it hurts like hell.
- Here, where I'm touching?

Doesn't hurt so bad
now you're touching it.

How's the cap refill?

- It looks good.
- Will I lose it?

- Will it grow back?
- Yes and yes.

- Does it hurt when you wiggle it?
- Not with your hand there.

You just have
that touch, I guess.

- Um, neuro and vascular intact.
- Bandage, Doc.

A doc? Making house calls?

I'm not a doctor.
Just Doc. Monte.

Bobby, heads up!

I was just remembering this one
Thanksgiving. Matty was about 12.

He was playing on this football
team in the Parks Department.

Insisted on wearing
his football jersey.

You know, everybody,
all 9000 of us...

we're dressed up like we're
going to church or something.

And Matty, chilling
in his football jersey.

Your family always
have a big Thanksgiving?

When my pop was around,
yeah. And today too, you know?

My mom, she's doing
everything, having everybody over.

- Your mom invited Matty?
- She's going to.

What? What was it like
when you were growing up?

Thanksgiving?

It was a big thing, always.

Still is.

- I'm still gonna be with Joey.
- Want to tell me how?

Yeah, babysitter's dropping
him off after the shift.

Jimmy'll be there. Doc's doing
his big turkey thing for everybody.

Jimmy's sticking
around after his shift?

Yeah, odds are as good
as your mom inviting Matty.

It's not ideal, but Joey
will have his Thanksgiving.

- You phone in a lost kid?
- Yeah, she lost her folks in the crowd.

She say what her name is?

I don't think she
speaks the language.

Hi.

What's your name?

I said, can you
tell me your name?

She wants her doll.
- Is that hers?

It's not mine.

Pretty.

I just gave you your doll, so
I'm gonna repeat my question.

- What's your name?
- I told you, she don't know English.

- What's he doing to her?
- I'm not doing anything to her.

I gotta take her
to Child Services.

- You're putting her in a foster home?
- They don't treat them right.

They take kids for the money.

I'm not putting her in a foster
home! What's your name?

Why don't you talk
like she was a little girl?

Mind your own damn business.
- She's right.

If you were friendlier,
you'd get a response.

- Cops push people around.
- She doesn't know English.

My name is Pamela
Loh. I live at 424 Lafayette.

Don't sing.

You're mad because you gotta
work. Think only you deserve a day off?

Thanksgiving should be
automatic if you have a kid.

Why do people with kids think
they're the only ones who count?

Hey, Bobby. Kim. KIM: Hey.

I told the captain he was
a stiff not giving you off.

Yeah, we're gonna cook a
big meal here for everybody.

I told the babysitter
to drop Joey off.

After the shift? Kind
of late for him to be up.

That way at least he
can be with both of us.

Mm.

- What "mm"?
- I got the day off.

- You thought I was working today?
- Yeah.

Or I would've given you Joey.
You two could've gone to your folks.

They're in Pittsburgh with
my brother and his kids.

- So you can stay for dinner.
- No.

Me and Haggerty are
going to Atlantic City.

I just came to get
stuff from my locker.

Atlantic City?

I told you I can't take
him for Thanksgiving.

- I remember...
- You said fine, you'd swap New Year's.

I thought you had to
work, not go to Atlantic City.

- We already laid out for the room.
- Well, if you paid for the room...

- Look...
- Don't apologize, okay?

You have your priorities. Go.

Get drunk, pick up a
cocktail waitress, whatever.

Joey'll be fine here with me.

Come on.

Come on!

- Look, I gotta go.
- Come on!

Yeah, say hi to Mike. Bye.

- Where's the call?
- I just didn't feel like sitting.

I was on the phone
with my sister in Florida.

You said you'd wish her happy
Thanksgiving 15 minutes ago.

I knew I forgot something.

- I gotta call her back.
- Come on, Sully, man!

- Cutler.
- What?

That son of a bitch from roll call.
- He's getting away.

Davis!

Hey!

Get out of the way!

Get out! Get out of the way!

Cutler, stop!

Stop! Cutler!

You're making it worse.

Cutler!

Cutler, stop!

Cutler, no, no, no!

Cutler!

Damn it!

Throw the gun out and come out
with your hands behind your head!

- What's going on?
- No, no, no, sir!

- Davis!
- No! Get back, get back!

Davis! Davis, are you all right?

- Yeah.
- Is the old man all right?

55-Charlie, officer
needs assistance.

Shots fired, 616 East
110. We're on the third floor.

- Davis, stay right there.
- You too.

Stay right there.

Wait for me, wait for me.

Stay low. Stay low.

- Police! Put your hands up!
- Show me your hands! Now!

Where's the weapon?
Where's the weapon?

Where's the weapon?

- Come on.
- Take it easy, man.

- Shut up.
- Where's the weapon?

- It's in the kitchen sink!
- What you got to do with this?

Give me your hand.

Take it easy there!

Come on!

Hold still! Stay right there.

I ain't got nothing.

You got it? - I got it.

Hey, that's his damn gun.
He's the one that fired at you!

That's crazy! This guy comes in
here, whips that out and starts blasting!

You drew the gun when
you saw they were cops!

Hey, shut up! Shut up!

We take them both.

- We take them both!
- Take it easy.

Attempted murder
of a police officer...

possession of a weapon,
reckless endangerment.

You finally hit the big time, Cutler.
- I ran, that's all!

Always run when I see you! I'd
run right now if I wasn't cuffed!

- Get used to it!
- Sullivan!

Davis.

- Firing on you.
- Five rounds.

These guys are
putting it on each other.

Doesn't matter. We
know who shot at us.

You're lucky to
be here. That's it.

Thanks, Dick.

- Happy Thanksgiving.
- Yeah, you too.

- You're singing again.
- I can't get the song out of my head.

Give me five minutes.

- Good luck.
- Mommy! Hey!

Roberto! I didn't think
I was gonna see you.

- You said you had to work.
- I wanted to see you.

- Hey.
- I stopped by the house.

- Did you see Rene's baby?
- He's big.

He's 15 months.
He eats like a man.

Mommy, I... I gotta
ask you a favor.

What? Oh, no, Matty? Give
me. I'll carry my own bags.

No. It's not money or anything.

I just want you to let him come
over to the house. It's Thanksgiving.

He stole from me. He wrote
checks from my checkbook.

He's trying to change.

You want to give him a
chance, that's your business.

Me, I'm finished hoping.

Give me these. I'll walk
you upstairs, all right?

Normal sinus rhythm,
occasional PAC.

Any chest pains, ma'am?

Carlos? Want to help me
out with the language here?

- No.
- No.

Thanks. I got that.

BP 140/90, pulse, 80.
What about the dizziness?

Yes. But not right now.

She's asking about me.

- What did you say to her?
- Nothing.

Wow, look at that.
Strip club's open.

Sure, why not?

- Hell of a way to spend Thanksgiving.
- I always liked working Thanksgiving.

You don't have family around.

I got my sister,
my sister's kids.

You can't stop by for turkey
and stuffing if they're in Florida.

- Family's family.
- Sorry.

- Where do you get that?
- I said I'm sorry.

I work because I like
it. The streets are quiet.

The time was they gave you a roster
of places serving a big Thanksgiving.

You could eat through the precinct
without putting a hand in your pocket.

- Good old days, huh?
- Damn right.

Now somebody spots you a
cup of coffee, it's on 60 Minutes.

- You really saw that guy?
- What?

It was dark and everything
was happening at once.

It was Cutler.

55-Charlie.

55-Charlie. Go ahead.

55-Charlie, return
to the precinct.

- The captain?
- What the hell's that all about?

Hello, Stanley, Marianne.

Happy Thanksgiving, Fred.

How nice the apartment looks.
- It looks great.

Hey, Faith. Your brother's here.

Where's the little girls' room? The
drive from Connecticut can be long.

- It's through there.
- Where's Faith?

- Faith! FAITH: How
you been, Stanley?

Couldn't be doing better.

I brought you something special.

Oh, great. This looks great.

Ought to work with the turkey.

So happens we're running low.

Look at Andrew.

Look at you.

Thanks for driving down.

- Great to be in the old neighborhood.
- Yeah, it's changed a lot.

Showed Andrew the old
school, the candy store.

It's a bodega now.

You forgot to take the price
off, Stanley. Just like last time.

Costs about as much as our car.

Excuse me, Stanley.

Knock it off with the working-class
hero crap. It's my brother.

A guy can't be himself
in his own house?

Fred, don't do this.

That's an '89. I'd
let it stand awhile.

Yeah. You heard what
he said, Fred. Slow down.

Come on. I told Mom and Dad that
we'd call as soon as you got here.

BRENDA: It's Brenda.

If you've got something
to say, talk after the beep.

Hello?

What's up, Stick?

Looks like you hit a double.

Stickup on St. Nicholas this morning.
Korean grocery, killed the proprietor.

Kim Yee, father of two.

Nobody saw anything.

The M.E. pulls a slug out
of Yee's forehead. A .38.

- Ballistics thinks we have a match.
- Cutler's gun.

This puts him in
front for the murder.

How's that?

Two blocks away, ran, same gun.

This isn't his first
armed robbery.

Excuse me.

I wanted to tell you how it is.

You make the case on the
possession, and we will take it from there.

Cutler's putting it on the other
man. You're sure on the ID?

- It was Cutler.
- All right.

Whoa, whoa. What about
your partner? He all right too?

Yeah.

Thank God! Follow me.

Please help him.
Please help him!

- Your son's diabetic?
- He takes his insulin...

- What's his name?
- Ronnie. Ron.

- Thank God! Please help him.
- Where is he?

He's in the kitchen. - Ronnie!

- Ron? RON: This is
bad. I don't feel good.

I gotta call my
girlfriend and my coach.

You can call your girlfriend.

I gotta get back to college.

- You take your insulin, Ron?
- Of course.

- Settle down. We'll check your sugar.
- Get your hands off me.

Thanks.

Don't hurt him!

I'm not gonna hurt him.

- Grab the glucose.
- Has he been eating?

- I don't know.
- He's trying to drop a weight class.

We need a D-fifty.

There's no way we'll
hold him for an IV.

I got the glucagon.
Hold onto him.

Just hold onto him! BOBBY: Go!

Come on!

Got him! BOBBY: Okay.

It's gonna take awhile.

- It'll take awhile.
- I'll get the IV.

Okay, settle down, Ronnie.
Okay. Okay. Settle down.

Okay. Okay. That's okay.

He's quieting. He's quieting.

- Oh, God!
- Whoa, whoa!

- Nothing. Nothing.
- Give me the paddles.

What's happening?

- He's in V-fib.
- Hit him with 200.

- 200 ready.
- Clear.

What's going on?

- No pulse.
- What's happening?

He's still in fib!

Three.

- Three hundred ready.
- Clear.

- You got a pulse?
- Thready.

- I'll get the IV.
- Lidocaine coming at you.

He's good, Mom. He's okay, Dad.

Yeah. Okay.

There's a riding DA at the
precinct who wants to talk to us.

We gotta go back
in about an hour.

I don't have anything
to say. I couldn't see.

- They'll want your statement.
- I'm not gonna lie.

- Is that what you think I'm doing?
- Look, I was standing right there.

- We couldn't see who shot at us.
- We were chasing Cutler.

Renfrew could've killed Yee and shot
at us if he thought we were after him.

I made a statement. You want me
to turn it around for who? For Cutler?

A bad guy with a sheet
like a phone book?

We couldn't see him, Sully.

We go your way,
both these guys walk!

- Then they walk.
- It's that black and white to you?

If you'd known about the murder,
would you have said he was the shooter?

We're still talking about
the same son of a bitch.

Right.

Hey!

- Mind your own business!
- The guy's scaring off my customers.

I'm sick and tired of all of you!
You call this a family? It's not!

Sir.

Oh, the cops? I don't
believe this! The cops now!

Can you sit down and be quiet?

This is our business! We don't
need any interference from you!

If you can't quiet down,
you'll have to come with me.

Get a grip, Leonard.

You got a problem, Leonard?
I'm dying to hear about it. Out front.

Five! I have five problems!

My dad, my brother
Tom, his stupid wife!

- You hear that?
- My sister Alice.

My brother Vincent,
boy genius of Wall Street.

Everyone's a problem
except you. Is that it?

Dad, you let them call
the cops on your son?

I didn't "let" them. I told them
to call the cops on my son.

Look, people, I got an idea.

Maybe you should all go home.

- Take Leonard with you.
- No!

- No?
- If a stranger...

were bothering us, would you tell
us to go home? It's the same thing.

- We want him out of here.
- Please.

Matter of fact,
Leonard wants to go.

You come with me,
nobody gets arrested.

- Nobody gets hurt.
- Don't touch me!

- I'm taking you out that door.
- I'm not going!

You do not want
to be doing this.

That's the smallest
gun I've ever seen.

- Put your hands in the air!
- You're crossing the line here.

Just put them up in
the air! That's right.

Everyone who's not connected to
me by blood or marriage can leave now.

Go!

Except you!

I'll shoot you! I'll shoot you!

Get back. We're okay.

Right, Len?

Nobody gets hurt.

For that, you get
to stay here too.

Alice, take the cop's gun.

Hey, you seen Bobby?

- Kim, long time.
- Hey, Matty.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's up?

Thanks for coming down.

You couldn't tell
me on the phone?

Some of the guys got the games on.
Thought you might want to sit around.

Are you telling me I'm
not going to Mom's?

She said no way, right?

Yeah.

- I wasn't dying to go.
- You gotta give people time.

I wasn't the one that
thought she'd let me come.

She's just gotta see some time
pass without you getting into a jam.

Then she'll be the
first to take you back.

- Is that what she said?
- Yeah.

First rule of lying, little
brother: Look like you mean it.

- Didn't I teach you anything?
- What about it?

Stick around here,
watch football.

Nah, I'm gonna see what
kind of trouble I can get into.

Kidding.

Right.

Smells good. KIM: Thanks.

Hey.

What about you? What did you used
to do for Thanksgiving back home?

- Which home?
- You had more than one?

- I had six foster homes.
- No kidding?

Doc, can you give me a hand?

You remember that lady we saw
today? Remember what she told us?

Her daughters live across the river.
They don't want her for the holidays.

Is that what she said? Because
I didn't understand the language.

Yeah. That's what she said.

Fellas.

Detective.

The DA's waiting in there for you.
Just wants to hear what you told me.

You first.

Everybody clear the runway!

He's pretty big. Maybe
you should take it easy.

I don't think you know a damn
thing about playing airplane.

Daddy, put me down!

Daddy, put Charlie down.

Fred.

It's okay, Faith. Fun and games.

Thank you, Father Stanley,
for giving me absolution.

- Two weeks since my last confession.
- Knock it off.

Just trying to
provide entertainment.

Guy drives down from a big
house, buys a $40 bottle of wine...

he deserves a good show.

Mom, I think he's drunk.

Emily? Would you like
to show us your room?

Okay. Come on, Charlie.

I think he's drunk too.

You proud of yourself now?

I can't believe you two.

Me? What did I do? Fred's
the one who's out of control.

Tell me you don't
know you provoke him.

"Here's a fancy bottle of wine."

It's the last time I bring wine to
this house. Next time it's a six-pack.

It's not a house.
It's an apartment.

You were raised here,
but you couldn't tell.

Your husband drinks too
much and you get on my case?

Why do you even bother to come?

You invited us.

You're disappointed
in me. Admit it.

You were against it, me and Fred,
a hundred years ago in high school.

Did I think you could do better?

That was then. But,
yeah. What do I think now?

I think maybe you could do better
for yourself. Make yourself happier.

You think I'm not happy
because I don't have your life?

It's not that I'm concerned about
you, it's that I think I'm better than you.

Whatever you think of me, whatever
you think of Fred, he is my husband.

And you forget that, and I
don't want you back here.

Want me to explain
what's happening outside?

They've got these special-unit
guys with Ruger 660s.

You know, sniper rifles.

They got stun grenades.
They're outside right now.

They'll have gas canisters, smoke.
You want to go up against an army?

Huh?

What I want is...
This ought to be good.

- Shut up!
- That's right, shut up.

Excuse me?

Oh, this is good.

I'm trying...

to put myself in your position.

You can't put yourself in my position!
Look at the people I come from!

Our fault. Clearly.

My dad was no walk
in the park either.

Had a way of looking at you like
you were some huge mistake he made.

I know.

And my mom...

We weren't exactly
the Brady Bunch.

I never pulled a gun on them...

Not to worry. He'll screw it up.

It'll be just like the time he wanted
to open a garden-supply store.

Guys.

Remember floor coverings? Behold,
the future king of floor coverings.

- Are you crazy?
- You're catching on.

- Clearly you two deserve each other.
- All right. Okay.

Not one more word.
You say one more word...

I think I can book you
all on inciting a riot.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean to pull the trigger.
- Do something!

Quiet!

Leonard, I'm helping this man.

I'm helping this man.

Leonard, listen to me.

The way this is going, I
don't see it coming out okay.

That phone? That's them calling
because they heard the shot.

- You might get a little action now.
- Action?

This is your last chance
to do something right.

Forget about them.

From what I've seen, I'm
pretty much on your side.

But you gotta do something.

Give me the guns.

All right? Let me
bring you out that door.

Will they pay? Will they
pay for how they are?

They are. I think
they're scared as hell.

They just don't
want you to see it.

Let them go.

We'll figure it out right here.

Just let them go.

Okay.

Help the waiter out,
or I'll shoot you myself.

Dad?

So, what happens?

It's up to you.

You give it up now,
you save your life.

They'll send me to jail.

Leonard, you shot a guy.

And there's the
holding-a-gun-on-a-cop thing.

That can't be good.

You show that family to a jury,
they'll cut you all kinds of slack.

Hospital time, counseling...

It won't be that bad.

I just want to know for sure that
they won't be able to visit me there.

Shall we do it?

You think it happened
this way with the Pilgrims?

Yup.

Hell of a night.

What did you tell the DA?

I couldn't see anything
so I told her that.

She ask you where
I was standing?

I said I was getting the
old man out of the way.

What about the first shot?

- She didn't ask me about that.
- Someone will.

Somebody's gonna ask you questions
to see if I lied. You thought about that?

- Yeah.
- What are you gonna say?

- What are you gonna say?
- I don't know!

We're partners!

You can lie and I back you up?

- That's exactly what it means!
- No.

Tell me that you saw
Cutler and I'll back you.

You can't, can you?

- All we got out there is each other.
- I won't perjure myself. Excuse me.

I'd do it for you.

I guess I'm just not
the man you are, Sully.

Hey! JOEY: Daddy!

Captain Joe! Put out any fires?

Mommy said you weren't coming!

Mommy doesn't know everything.

They close the Jersey Turnpike?

I figured I was
missing the real party.

What?

It's good, for Joey.

Yeah, I know.

When I look at
them, it's like...

for three seconds I feel
like we're a normal family.

You know what I think?

In the history of the world...

there's no such thing
as a normal family.

Bobby, isn't that your brother?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

I see you cleaned up the place.

Kids go down?

Yeah, they were
exhausted. They passed out.

I'm surprised you didn't, considering
what you did to Johnnie Walker.

- Kicked his ass.
- Yes, you did.

You also drank all
my brother's wine too.

Thanks for making him
and his family feel like crap.

So nice of him to come
to the old neighborhood.

Cut it. I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of it too. It's the
same stuff every year.

I'm sick of you deciding that they're
looking down on us before they arrive.

You're saying they
don't look down on us?

They don't look around and say,
"Is this the best Faith could do?

Marry a useless husband, live in the
same crummy place she grew up in?"

It's all over his face. And
Marianne's. And their kid too.

And you're pathetic
when you drink.

Which is whenever
you can't deal.

Which is often.

I'm going to bed.

Hello?

What the hell am I doing?

Engine 57, Ladder 100.

This is Monte.

Monte with the magic touch.
Right. How did you get this number?

Star 69. Yeah, I've
heard of it. I just...

I've never seen it or anything.
I guess it really works, huh?

Yeah, that was me.

Both times.

I don't know.

I was checking on
your foot, I suppose.

Okay. Sounds good.

Saturday. Yeah. I mean,
let me check my schedule.

Yeah, I'm free.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Hi.

Thanks for coming.

I was a cop's wife. I'm
used to the crazy hours.

What's up?

Can you remember a time...

Tyrone maybe did something
you thought was wrong, or...?

You wasn't sure it was right?

So he had to call somebody, get
them out of bed, get them to talk to him?

Yeah.

Ty never doubted himself.

I don't think he ever thought
anything he did was wrong.

What?

Sometimes you figure
you're doing the right thing.

And then it turns
out maybe you're not.

The world's not an easy place.

Nope.

You want to tell me about it?

I'm not sure yet.

- Mind if I order something then?
- No.

That would be great.

Anna?

Remember me?

No?

It doesn't matter.
