Previously on Third Watch:
- What's going on?
- Davis!
Get back!
You saying I can't go to Mom's?
- She said no, right?
- Yeah.
I don't want to be a babe
magnet. I'll leave it to you.
- What is this?
- See? What do I want to steal for?
- What's your name?
- Malcolm.
- I'm sick of it too. Every year.
- You're pathetic when you drink.
- I'm putting myself in your position.
- You can't!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where you been?
- Around.
- Around where?
Churches, the soup
kitchens. I bathed a few lepers.
- For real. Where you been?
- Out there, in New York.
- This joint's open 24 hours.
- That's what people say.
I'll catch you after work.
- Hold up.
- Take it.
- For what?
For rent, utilities.
Buy a pair of 'nads.
Find a girlfriend.
Where'd you get this?
I'm not gonna lie, man.
I've been selling drugs.
But only to school kids. You
wouldn't believe their allowances.
Bobby, come on. I got a job.
It ain't much, but I'm
trying to even things up.
Thanks.
I'd say don't blow it
on strippers. But you?
I don't gotta worry about.
We've got a serial rapist
working in Macy Gardens.
Struck three times in two weeks.
Witnesses describe him
as a black male, early 20s.
Could they be more vague?
Get out of here
and do some work.
BeNiro, Edadouai, Sullivan
and Davis, hang back.
- Squad wants to talk.
- OCCB's pulling a raid...
on Sunder Walker's joint
on 115. You know the drill.
We need uniforms,
so get an early meal.
We'll notify you
when we're ready.
- We're going on a raid.
- How about that?
- You're not excited?
- I was the first hundred times.
This is my first time. We
get any special equipment?
Special equipment? We're taking
down a bookie, not Lex Luthor.
Just be alert and
try not to shoot me.
Thanks. We're
doing a raid today.
Four days. At first it was funny.
But now he's working my nerves.
Oh! Would you look at
them! Look at... Wow!
Bos.
What? You got home
stories every day.
That was a
once-in-a-lifetime piece of ass.
- I'm listening. Fred pissed you off.
- Four days and he hasn't had a beer.
- I thought you wanted him to quit.
- He should stop rubbing it in my face.
Every two seconds he's like, "Four
days, honey. Haven't had a beer.
What did I forget to do
yesterday? Have a beer."
He doesn't seem
to have a problem.
He's not sober enough to send
the kids to school two days a week.
Maybe you're overreacting.
This from a guy who goes
slack-jawed over every female rear.
Not everyone.
Just the good ones.
Here's the call.
How many times do I have to
tell you? What's wrong with you?
You deserve what
you get! You hear me?
Guys, coming through. Thanks.
- What's the trouble?
- This piece of crap.
Every day he comes
screaming and scaring people...
and now he's siphoning
gas from a tenant's car.
It's the bum who took
a dump in our squad.
He hit me. He hit
me with a hammer.
- Who hit you?
- Captain Crunch over there.
- Did you hit him?
- I saw him stealing gas.
- So you hit him with a hammer?
- I was doing repairs when I saw him.
Every day he swears at people,
curses at them, he spits at them.
- He pisses on the building.
- He's got bladder problems.
- We're decent people on this block.
- You're all saints.
Pope ought to know about you.
Sons of bitches, they're
always laughing at me.
- Hey, Stinky. Want to press charges?
- On me?
- He's causing the trouble!
- You can't hit people with a hammer.
- You got a problem, you call us.
- Not gonna be laughing anymore.
Aah!
The guy's a nut!
Bosco, that's gas!
We need EMS forthwith.
Repeat. Rush on a bus.
Matty gave me $150 today.
Yeah. For rent and utilities.
- Kicked in.
- That's good, I guess.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing, forget it.
Say what you have to say.
Matty's been working
a month? Two?
He gives you $150? That's
what? A tenth of your rent?
- He's making a gesture.
- Yeah, giving you the finger.
- If you got nothing nice to say...
- You asked.
You don't think people can change?
- No.
We may walk upright,
buy CDs off the Internet...
but when it comes
down to it, deep under...
we're animals. Instincts. We
can't get away from instincts.
- National Geographic?
- Discovery Channel.
- What's up? FAITH:
Burning, and a bad one.
Grab the sheets. I'll
assess. KIM: Got it.
Okay, sir. We're here.
Okay, stay with
me, sir. Stay with me.
Okay.
- I'm gonna put him on O2.
- Laugh now, you bastard!
And you wonder why I
don't want Fred drinking?
Hang in there, sir. We'll put
you on some oxygen, okay?
I don't suppose you
could drive more smoothly?
I'm sorry. We should've
brought the Lexus today.
- What are you doing?
- My homework.
After yesterday's shift, I
went home and crashed.
Now I gotta finish
my homework...
- What is so funny?
- Hearing a grown man say "homework."
- It's genetics.
- It sounds funny.
- "Homework" doesn't sound funny?
- No, it doesn't.
Sorry.
If you get an A, does your teacher
give you a gold star or a smiley face?
No, it's you.
Hello?
- What?
- Duncan and Williams from 68.
They just brought
my father to Mercy.
I had this gun in my face.
- How much did they get?
- Maybe $400. I shoved it in the bag.
- Did you see them?
- Three guys, Hispanic guys.
- What did they look like?
- Hispanic guys.
One had a cast on his hand
and a tattoo on his neck.
- When did the robbery take place?
- Maybe 11:30.
- This morning?
- Last night when I was closing up.
- You're just calling it in? MAN:
They locked me in the back.
I'd still be there except
the owner came to open up.
He spent the night
in the backroom.
I've taken many calls from clerks
who died protecting their store.
It's not worth getting shot
over Yoo-Hoos and Slim Jims.
- Mailman.
- Why you all up in my business?
- I'm not in your business.
- You talked to a social worker.
They talked to my teachers.
Now they ask me
why I got cops around.
I just asked.
Why don't you go ask a white
girl on Park and get off my back?
- What was that?
- I talked to Children Services...
seeing if he had any priors.
- You need a hobby?
- You talk about community policing.
Here's a young boy I can do
something about or I can ignore.
If Malcolm got a few breaks,
he might turn out okay.
- No breaks today.
- What?
He runs numbers
for Sunder Walker.
If he's at Sunder's place
when we hit it tonight...
he's looking at
six months in juvie.
- Where is he?
- Dr. Morales is attending.
- What happened?
- Accidental overdose.
We're treating him like family.
Doctor? DOC: How is he?
He was lucky. A
neighbor found him.
He ran a V-tach, but
stabilized with digivite.
- He's in room 212.
- Thank you.
- So how are you?
- Good.
Excuse me. I have
to see some patients.
- Dad.
- I know, I know.
"You gotta be more careful.
You got to take care of yourself."
Thank God you're all right.
But since you brought it up...
Well, middle of the night.
My head was hurting. I went
to the bathroom for aspirin...
and took my
prescription by mistake.
- How many did you take?
- Obviously too many.
- No, you've got to be...
- Don't.
- Don't be worried?
- It was an accident, that's all.
I'm fine.
Well, now what?
What's my punishment?
Home care? Do I
need a babysitter?
Is it time to report
to the nursing home?
Do you remember
when I was a kid...
and sometimes I
would do foolish things?
And you'd be so thankful
that I was all right...
punishing me was the
last thing on your mind?
Well...
I'm feeling some
of that right now.
I'm feeling a lot of that.
Go ahead, say it.
Get it off your chest.
- You gotta be more careful.
- I know.
I know I do.
- So this raid we're going on today...
- Don't worry about it.
We're not going
after terrorists.
Bookies talk tough, but they
pee once they see some uniforms.
If Malcolm's there,
he's gonna do time.
- Yeah, juvie time.
- It won't help straighten him out.
He shouldn't have
started running numbers.
And do what? Flip
burgers instead?
He's poor. He's
not dealing dope.
He's not working
in a library either.
You want to help?
Get him a lawyer.
While you're at it,
get me some coffee.
Black? SULLY: Yeah.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hold on! Don't move!
Did I miss something?
Those are bad for you.
Twenty-first century and there's
still buildings without elevators.
- It'll keep you warm.
- So will the car heater.
It's conveniently
located right in our car.
Thank God! Thank
God you're here!
- What's the problem, ma'am?
- My little girl needs help.
- What's the matter?
- She don't feel good.
Is she sick?
If she's sick, we need to...
- Stop asking questions!
Just help my little girl!
- Where is she, ma'am?
- She's in her bed.
Got enough to eat? FAITH: Bos!
It's okay. Yeah,
everything's gonna be fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
You trust Mommy.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's my little baby.
It's my baby girl.
Shh.
- Hey, Bobby.
- Hey.
What are you doing
this side of the DMZ?
Can I talk to you for a minute?
- What's up?
We got a call for a robbery
today. Coffeehouse got hit for cash.
Turns out one of the
guys was Danny Montez.
Didn't he used to
hang with your brother?
- Yeah.
- Three guys pulled the job.
- Was one of them my brother?
- Don't know.
But if it was, armed robbery's a
big step up from stealing stereos.
DA will go easier on
him if he turns himself in.
Do your brother a favor,
find him, talk to him.
Do it before the detectives do.
Excuse me.
- You Patillo?
- What do you need?
- I'm looking for Matty Caffey.
- He quit.
- Quit? When?
- A week ago. At least that.
- Did he say he was taking another job?
- You know...
I didn't send him an e-mail
after he walked out during a shift.
Excuse me.
- You didn't know?
- He comes home at night.
I figured he was going to work.
- Any ideas where he's going?
- None good.
- You hungry?
- Getting there.
- Want to go to O'Reilly's?
- I thought we'd hit Homer.
It's 15 blocks out of the
way. O'Reilly's is close.
- It's different, though.
- How different can they be?
They got better fries.
- Fries?
- Yeah, they're crispier.
Okay.
What the hell, man?
- Where's my brother?
- I don't know.
- Where?
- I don't know.
- Mikey.
- Why you all over me, Bobby?
Danny got arrested for a
job. There were three guys.
- Cops looking for me?
- They're looking for Matty!
I had nothing to
do with any job.
Danny hits a lot of crank
and he goes loco, man.
He talked about pulling
a job, so I quit him.
Look, I don't know if your
brother was with him or not.
Bobby, we got a job.
Bobby.
I ain't lying.
Go home, Mikey.
Just a minute. Gotta put some
of my dad's clothes in a bag.
You grew up here. Nice.
Your dad see any action?
Yeah. Made the landing at
Inchon. Purple Heart and everything.
- Oh, your mom, she's beautiful.
- Yeah, she was.
Oh, my God! Is this you?
- Check out that 'fro, bro.
- Come on, put it down.
You trying out for the
ABA or the Jackson Five?
I was 12. You don't have any
goofy pictures of you as a kid?
There wasn't anybody who gave
a damn about me to take pictures.
I gotta go find his prescriptions.
He's gonna need them.
There's some meds over here.
Digoxin.
Need a refill. It's empty.
Sully, I'll meet you inside.
- You're not gonna eat?
- There's a CD I want to grab first.
- Make it fast.
- It'll take two seconds.
- IV's positional. But it's running.
- Get an arm board on her.
Cap refill's poor.
Bilateral rales. She's in heart
failure. Getting 80 of Lasix.
She's just gonna help you
to breathe easier, okay?
- Hold on, Tina.
- Here you go.
She needs to
get to the hospital.
There's no elevator and we can't
get a gurney down that staircase.
- Can she walk?
- Five flights? No way.
We can't carry her.
Let the ducks get the hernias.
One time, Boscorelli,
think. Don't talk.
If she really cared, she'd stop
with the food. You see that spread?
It isn't necessarily overeating, it
could be a thyroid or adrenal problem.
- Tumor on the pituitary gland.
- I feel for her.
But would you let
your son get like that?
- Bosco, you just modeling the uniform?
- Medics need a laborer.
- They need you to cart a patient.
- Haul a patient?
Why do you make it so
easy to make fun of you?
- Whoa.
- Any ideas on getting her out?
- Start a diet and wait for spring?
- Any good ideas.
We could secure her to a gurney
and turn it sideways. Bobby?
- No, she couldn't take the strain.
- We don't have many options.
We gotta do something
fast. She's circling the drain.
Let's take the wall
out, make a new door...
set up some rigs on the roof,
and lower down to the street.
- Sounds like our best bet.
- All right.
This is gonna be real good.
Thank you.
Hey, Malcolm.
We wasn't doing
nothing, officer.
- We just talking here.
- I don't care.
- No, we wasn't doing nothing...
- I said, I don't care.
If you don't get
out, I'm gonna care.
All right. Peace,
bro. All right, bro.
Damn! You happy now?
I got Knicks tickets.
You want to go?
- Yeah. Hand them over.
- No, I mean, with me.
- You want to go with me?
- Sure I do.
Why not?
If I'm gonna hang with anybody,
I'm gonna hang with my boys.
Why you trying to be my
nigga? You don't know me.
- I want to know you.
- You sound like a bitch.
Is that right? I'm trying
to do you a favor, man.
No one else is trying to
hook you up with tickets.
Take them or not, it's
nothing to me either way.
You can go be with your boys,
talking about how hard you were.
How you bad-assed your
way out of some courtsides.
All right. What the hell.
I'll give you the ticket
now so you can go scalp it.
Meet me at the Garden on Seventh,
15 minutes before game time.
- Whatever.
- You gonna be there?
- I said, all right.
- All right.
I'll see you later.
Tell Bobby I could
use a hand here.
Bobby.
- Bobby, Kim needs you.
- Fine, thanks. All right.
- You straight?
- Just some family stuff.
Yokas, there's a coffee shop on
89th that got held up yesterday.
- Did they catch the guys?
- I don't know.
- Thanks.
- Cookie? You want a cookie?
- Fresh-baked.
- Ma'am.
- You need to move out of the way.
- They don't like cookies?
I've got Milk Duds.
The firemen need to get the wall
down and get Tina to the hospital.
- Maybe I should make her a snack.
- The paramedics have an IV in her.
I have cake and pie
and waffles. Fresh.
- Everything fresh.
- Ma'am.
- Huh?
- Your daughter's in serious condition.
- Feeding her won't help.
- No, I...
No, it's not the food.
She has a problem.
Yes, she does.
- Giving her junk is making her worse.
- No. The food makes her happy.
Being 1000 pounds and being stuck
in her bedroom makes her happy?
I just want my baby to be happy.
I want her to be well.
You'll make her good, right?
You'll make my girl
good again? Yes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where is it?
- Where's what?
- The CD you went to buy.
Oh, they didn't have it.
You spent the last half-hour
looking for a CD they didn't have?
Yeah. I really wanted that CD.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Can I get a burger?
- Thanks.
- No fries?
Those things pack
on the pounds, man.
Don't talk about me being out of
bed. I've been on my back for hours.
So I thought getting up
and moving around would...
Good. You brought my pills.
Those damn things are expensive.
They were on the nightstand.
You said you took
them in the bathroom.
That's what I remember.
The prescription is a week
old and the bottle's empty.
Your overdose,
was it an accident?
No.
Are you sick?
No.
I don't understand.
Look at me. Look at your father.
I'm coming apart.
I have a bad heart,
cataracts, diabetes...
Every day I gotta test
my blood, take shots.
Ten pills every day.
That's an
inconvenience, that's all.
I saw my doctor last week. He
said I needed a hip replacement.
But not to worry. A few months
of therapy and I'd be able to...
climb stairs and get
around on a walker.
You want to end your life
because you need help with stairs?
I am not ending anything!
It's already over.
Every day from here on
in is gonna get worse...
not better.
Okay.
I know people. Psychologists.
- I don't need doctors.
- You're just a little depressed.
Just give this some
time. They can help.
I don't need help.
I am tired of my life.
I'm tired of watching
myself waste away.
Monte...
I want to do this.
I want to die.
- Truck big enough?
- Yeah, how you guys coming?
- Should be ready in 30 minutes.
- That's cutting it close.
I'll get started on the wall.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
- You are gonna fix that, right?
- Ma'am. Please stay back.
Please? Thank you.
Hey, you doing all right?
When they get this wall down,
we'll get you out of here, okay?
Okay.
Don't go.
You need to keep the mask on.
- Will you talk to me?
- Me?
Maybe I should get my partner.
- You don't want to talk to me?
- No, she's a woman...
Don't you want to do some
woman-to-woman talking?
Am I so awful you
don't want to talk to me?
No. Listen to me. No.
You shouldn't bother with all this.
I don't want to go to the hospital.
It's the only way to get better.
I don't want people
to see me how I am.
- You look fine.
- No, I don't.
You gotta put this mask on.
You know what? How
about we brush your hair?
What good is brushing
my hair gonna do?
I'm 800 pounds.
Do you want to date me?
No.
At least you're honest, you know?
I always wanted an honest man.
You know what?
How about we get you to the
hospital and get you better. Okay?
We'll worry about you
going on dates later on.
My chest is hurting...
Bobby!
It's okay. It's okay.
Dr. Morales, do
you have a second?
Your father's doing fine.
I'll discharge him
in the morning.
When he regained
consciousness, how was he?
He was good. Normal
sinus rhythms, stable vitals.
Did he seem...?
Emotionally, was he okay?
For a man who
almost died, I think...
Was he upset? Depressed?
Did he seem sorry
that you had saved him?
Why would he be sorry?
Is there something I should
know about your father?
No.
- Because if there is, I think...
- What?
You can help?
I have certain legal obligations.
But I'd like to think I can help.
Thanks. Thanks for your time.
Okay, we're set.
Let's do this.
You ready?
Easy, guys.
Okay, ready? One, two, three.
She's bradying down.
She's in respiratory arrest.
- Blades.
I'll bag her.
Look out.
Good? BOBBY: Yeah.
I'm in.
- She's good.
- Good.
Give me your belt.
Give me that.
Rescue 8, we got another
passenger riding down with her.
We all set? Let's go. Let's go.
Slow.
Move it!
A little more.
Make sure that
truck is ready to go.
We're gonna need
a lot of muscle.
Get ready to step in.
How's she doing, Bobby? - Fine.
She's better. Her
heart rate's up.
Take it down.
Get four mgs atropine ready.
- Take down the line.
Come on, let's go.
I got a strong carotid.
Give me your saline.
Let's get her on the truck.
One, two, three.
Let's get her turned
around. Stick together.
Okay, keep it coming.
Keep it coming.
Down a little bit.
Down. Okay, slide it in.
Good luck.
All records and receipts
are on water-soluble paper.
It touches water,
there's no evidence.
See anybody dumping
paper, you stop them.
See anybody going for the safe
room, shut them down. That's pay dirt.
- You ready?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Eyes open. Everybody ready?
Police! Don't move!
Hold it!
Up against the wall!
Don't move! Don't move!
Don't you move!
I got this guy, Sully.
"This guy"?
Officer Davis, say
hello to Sunder Walker.
What's up?
How about a drink?
That'd be good. I tell Fred to stop
drinking, and then I throw back a few.
And I'd come between you
and all the young gullible women.
- Hey, Kim.
- Hey.
Any word on big girl?
Looks like she's gonna make it.
Yeah? No days like
the good days, huh?
- Good night.
- See you.
- See you.
- Bye-bye.
Let me see.
- Not too bad.
- Yeah.
I think you'll still do
all right with the ladies.
You did all right tonight.
Hey, don't strain yourself.
At least you didn't embarrass
me. That's something.
How about that, your boy
Malcolm wasn't around. His luck.
His luck had some help.
I told him not to show.
- What?
- I didn't tip him to the raid.
I just told him I scored
some Knicks tickets.
He's probably still
outside the Garden.
- Oh, man.
- What?
Think about it.
Kid's supposed to be with
Sunder. He doesn't show, but we do.
Who do you think
Sunder will blame?
You get locked out?
Where you been?
- I was at work.
- Work?
- Like last night and the night before?
- Yeah.
Well, your boy Danny
got picked up by the cops.
He pulled a job.
There were two guys with him.
And you figure that
one of them was me?
It happened last night.
I was at work.
I went to your work, Matty. The
manager said you quit a week ago.
- I got another job.
- You gonna lie to my face?
I got a job at the Chinese
joint washing dishes.
Washing dishes?
You quit your job at the
store for a third of the pay?
You want to go down there?
Let's go, Bobby.
Let's take a walk.
What are you waiting
for? Let's go prove I'm lying.
Every night I'm at the store,
we get boxes of merchandise.
VCRs, camcorders, CD players.
Then one night I think
how easy it would be...
to lift one or two or 10,
and sell them. But I didn't.
I could keep myself from
ripping anything off for that night.
Maybe the next.
But sooner or later...
So I quit.
And I got a job at
the Chinese place.
It ain't much. But there
ain't much to steal either.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Tell you what?
I got a job washing rice cookers
for a living to keep from stealing?
I'm gonna take a walk.
Matty. Matty.
I'm sorry.
At least Mom and the rest of
the family don't lie to my face.
They tell me how much
they think I'm a bastard.
Good night.
What the hell? Where you been?
Malcolm?
I'm liable to bust you
one for leaving me.
You gotta get off
the street, man.
- You ain't my mother.
- Sunder got raided today.
And my partner's saying that...
he thinks that Sunder
might blame you.
Might think you set him up
because you weren't there.
See what kind of
trouble you bring around?
Now my life's hectic because
you dragged me to the Knicks.
Well, I didn't have any tickets.
I knew about the raid. I
didn't want you to be there.
So I said I had tickets.
- You screwed me!
- I was trying to help.
Help me how?
Help me get one in
the back of the head?
You think Sunder plays
at being a hard-ass?
- How do you think he'll take this?
- Malcolm.
- Man, back off!
- They're gonna hurt you.
Man, they're gonna kill me!
They're gonna kill me!
Man, just stay clear.
You've done me enough.
Monte!
I'm glad you came back.
I wanted to talk to you.
Don't know exactly what to say.
This isn't the conversation I
ever thought that I would have.
But I just want you
to understand that...
- Dad, this is Dr. Morales.
- I know who she is.
Your son said you tried
to take your own life.
I'm obligated to give you
a psychiatric evaluation.
- You're putting me away?
- No. It's not that.
How could you do that to me?
We just want to take some
time to assess how you're feeling.
- This is my life.
- This is not your life.
Not just your life.
You're my father
and a part of my life.
What life?
For a whole year, ever
since your wife died...
I've watched you shrink
away from the world.
Do you know how painful it is...
to see your son shut himself off
from everything and everybody?
You say you want me to stay alive.
You won't even let your own self live.
- Dad.
- Get out.
- This is not what I wanted.
- Go on. Get out.
Doc, come on. Go outside.
- Come on.
- Dad.
Come on.
Accusing him,
checking up on him.
Should've just smacked him.
It wouldn't have hurt any more.
You're also the only
person who tried to help him.
You gave him a place
to stay. You got him a job.
First chance I got, I
pointed a finger at him.
Well, not for no reason, Bobby.
Sully tells you that Matty might
have been involved in a robbery.
How can you trust your brother with
everything that happened in the past?
I wonder if I ever
believed in him.
It's getting late.
I should go.
I'll see you later.
You did the right thing.
But can you imagine
what it would be like?
Too old to drive, physically
deteriorating, mind slipping.
Can't even take
care of yourself.
More child than adult.
That's what's waiting for us.
If you're lucky enough
to even get that old.
I called him selfish because
he wanted to die. But maybe...
I'm selfish for wanting
to keep him alive.
Mm.
Maybe you did what
was best for him.
You've given him enough time to
decide if it's what he really wants.
Hey, want to get
some coffee and talk?
Thanks. Some other time.
Doctor?
Thank you.
- What's going on?
- Davis!
Get back!
You saying I can't go to Mom's?
- She said no, right?
- Yeah.
I don't want to be a babe
magnet. I'll leave it to you.
- What is this?
- See? What do I want to steal for?
- What's your name?
- Malcolm.
- I'm sick of it too. Every year.
- You're pathetic when you drink.
- I'm putting myself in your position.
- You can't!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where you been?
- Around.
- Around where?
Churches, the soup
kitchens. I bathed a few lepers.
- For real. Where you been?
- Out there, in New York.
- This joint's open 24 hours.
- That's what people say.
I'll catch you after work.
- Hold up.
- Take it.
- For what?
For rent, utilities.
Buy a pair of 'nads.
Find a girlfriend.
Where'd you get this?
I'm not gonna lie, man.
I've been selling drugs.
But only to school kids. You
wouldn't believe their allowances.
Bobby, come on. I got a job.
It ain't much, but I'm
trying to even things up.
Thanks.
I'd say don't blow it
on strippers. But you?
I don't gotta worry about.
We've got a serial rapist
working in Macy Gardens.
Struck three times in two weeks.
Witnesses describe him
as a black male, early 20s.
Could they be more vague?
Get out of here
and do some work.
BeNiro, Edadouai, Sullivan
and Davis, hang back.
- Squad wants to talk.
- OCCB's pulling a raid...
on Sunder Walker's joint
on 115. You know the drill.
We need uniforms,
so get an early meal.
We'll notify you
when we're ready.
- We're going on a raid.
- How about that?
- You're not excited?
- I was the first hundred times.
This is my first time. We
get any special equipment?
Special equipment? We're taking
down a bookie, not Lex Luthor.
Just be alert and
try not to shoot me.
Thanks. We're
doing a raid today.
Four days. At first it was funny.
But now he's working my nerves.
Oh! Would you look at
them! Look at... Wow!
Bos.
What? You got home
stories every day.
That was a
once-in-a-lifetime piece of ass.
- I'm listening. Fred pissed you off.
- Four days and he hasn't had a beer.
- I thought you wanted him to quit.
- He should stop rubbing it in my face.
Every two seconds he's like, "Four
days, honey. Haven't had a beer.
What did I forget to do
yesterday? Have a beer."
He doesn't seem
to have a problem.
He's not sober enough to send
the kids to school two days a week.
Maybe you're overreacting.
This from a guy who goes
slack-jawed over every female rear.
Not everyone.
Just the good ones.
Here's the call.
How many times do I have to
tell you? What's wrong with you?
You deserve what
you get! You hear me?
Guys, coming through. Thanks.
- What's the trouble?
- This piece of crap.
Every day he comes
screaming and scaring people...
and now he's siphoning
gas from a tenant's car.
It's the bum who took
a dump in our squad.
He hit me. He hit
me with a hammer.
- Who hit you?
- Captain Crunch over there.
- Did you hit him?
- I saw him stealing gas.
- So you hit him with a hammer?
- I was doing repairs when I saw him.
Every day he swears at people,
curses at them, he spits at them.
- He pisses on the building.
- He's got bladder problems.
- We're decent people on this block.
- You're all saints.
Pope ought to know about you.
Sons of bitches, they're
always laughing at me.
- Hey, Stinky. Want to press charges?
- On me?
- He's causing the trouble!
- You can't hit people with a hammer.
- You got a problem, you call us.
- Not gonna be laughing anymore.
Aah!
The guy's a nut!
Bosco, that's gas!
We need EMS forthwith.
Repeat. Rush on a bus.
Matty gave me $150 today.
Yeah. For rent and utilities.
- Kicked in.
- That's good, I guess.
- What do you mean?
- Nothing, forget it.
Say what you have to say.
Matty's been working
a month? Two?
He gives you $150? That's
what? A tenth of your rent?
- He's making a gesture.
- Yeah, giving you the finger.
- If you got nothing nice to say...
- You asked.
You don't think people can change?
- No.
We may walk upright,
buy CDs off the Internet...
but when it comes
down to it, deep under...
we're animals. Instincts. We
can't get away from instincts.
- National Geographic?
- Discovery Channel.
- What's up? FAITH:
Burning, and a bad one.
Grab the sheets. I'll
assess. KIM: Got it.
Okay, sir. We're here.
Okay, stay with
me, sir. Stay with me.
Okay.
- I'm gonna put him on O2.
- Laugh now, you bastard!
And you wonder why I
don't want Fred drinking?
Hang in there, sir. We'll put
you on some oxygen, okay?
I don't suppose you
could drive more smoothly?
I'm sorry. We should've
brought the Lexus today.
- What are you doing?
- My homework.
After yesterday's shift, I
went home and crashed.
Now I gotta finish
my homework...
- What is so funny?
- Hearing a grown man say "homework."
- It's genetics.
- It sounds funny.
- "Homework" doesn't sound funny?
- No, it doesn't.
Sorry.
If you get an A, does your teacher
give you a gold star or a smiley face?
No, it's you.
Hello?
- What?
- Duncan and Williams from 68.
They just brought
my father to Mercy.
I had this gun in my face.
- How much did they get?
- Maybe $400. I shoved it in the bag.
- Did you see them?
- Three guys, Hispanic guys.
- What did they look like?
- Hispanic guys.
One had a cast on his hand
and a tattoo on his neck.
- When did the robbery take place?
- Maybe 11:30.
- This morning?
- Last night when I was closing up.
- You're just calling it in? MAN:
They locked me in the back.
I'd still be there except
the owner came to open up.
He spent the night
in the backroom.
I've taken many calls from clerks
who died protecting their store.
It's not worth getting shot
over Yoo-Hoos and Slim Jims.
- Mailman.
- Why you all up in my business?
- I'm not in your business.
- You talked to a social worker.
They talked to my teachers.
Now they ask me
why I got cops around.
I just asked.
Why don't you go ask a white
girl on Park and get off my back?
- What was that?
- I talked to Children Services...
seeing if he had any priors.
- You need a hobby?
- You talk about community policing.
Here's a young boy I can do
something about or I can ignore.
If Malcolm got a few breaks,
he might turn out okay.
- No breaks today.
- What?
He runs numbers
for Sunder Walker.
If he's at Sunder's place
when we hit it tonight...
he's looking at
six months in juvie.
- Where is he?
- Dr. Morales is attending.
- What happened?
- Accidental overdose.
We're treating him like family.
Doctor? DOC: How is he?
He was lucky. A
neighbor found him.
He ran a V-tach, but
stabilized with digivite.
- He's in room 212.
- Thank you.
- So how are you?
- Good.
Excuse me. I have
to see some patients.
- Dad.
- I know, I know.
"You gotta be more careful.
You got to take care of yourself."
Thank God you're all right.
But since you brought it up...
Well, middle of the night.
My head was hurting. I went
to the bathroom for aspirin...
and took my
prescription by mistake.
- How many did you take?
- Obviously too many.
- No, you've got to be...
- Don't.
- Don't be worried?
- It was an accident, that's all.
I'm fine.
Well, now what?
What's my punishment?
Home care? Do I
need a babysitter?
Is it time to report
to the nursing home?
Do you remember
when I was a kid...
and sometimes I
would do foolish things?
And you'd be so thankful
that I was all right...
punishing me was the
last thing on your mind?
Well...
I'm feeling some
of that right now.
I'm feeling a lot of that.
Go ahead, say it.
Get it off your chest.
- You gotta be more careful.
- I know.
I know I do.
- So this raid we're going on today...
- Don't worry about it.
We're not going
after terrorists.
Bookies talk tough, but they
pee once they see some uniforms.
If Malcolm's there,
he's gonna do time.
- Yeah, juvie time.
- It won't help straighten him out.
He shouldn't have
started running numbers.
And do what? Flip
burgers instead?
He's poor. He's
not dealing dope.
He's not working
in a library either.
You want to help?
Get him a lawyer.
While you're at it,
get me some coffee.
Black? SULLY: Yeah.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hold on! Don't move!
Did I miss something?
Those are bad for you.
Twenty-first century and there's
still buildings without elevators.
- It'll keep you warm.
- So will the car heater.
It's conveniently
located right in our car.
Thank God! Thank
God you're here!
- What's the problem, ma'am?
- My little girl needs help.
- What's the matter?
- She don't feel good.
Is she sick?
If she's sick, we need to...
- Stop asking questions!
Just help my little girl!
- Where is she, ma'am?
- She's in her bed.
Got enough to eat? FAITH: Bos!
It's okay. Yeah,
everything's gonna be fine.
It's okay. It's okay.
You trust Mommy.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's my little baby.
It's my baby girl.
Shh.
- Hey, Bobby.
- Hey.
What are you doing
this side of the DMZ?
Can I talk to you for a minute?
- What's up?
We got a call for a robbery
today. Coffeehouse got hit for cash.
Turns out one of the
guys was Danny Montez.
Didn't he used to
hang with your brother?
- Yeah.
- Three guys pulled the job.
- Was one of them my brother?
- Don't know.
But if it was, armed robbery's a
big step up from stealing stereos.
DA will go easier on
him if he turns himself in.
Do your brother a favor,
find him, talk to him.
Do it before the detectives do.
Excuse me.
- You Patillo?
- What do you need?
- I'm looking for Matty Caffey.
- He quit.
- Quit? When?
- A week ago. At least that.
- Did he say he was taking another job?
- You know...
I didn't send him an e-mail
after he walked out during a shift.
Excuse me.
- You didn't know?
- He comes home at night.
I figured he was going to work.
- Any ideas where he's going?
- None good.
- You hungry?
- Getting there.
- Want to go to O'Reilly's?
- I thought we'd hit Homer.
It's 15 blocks out of the
way. O'Reilly's is close.
- It's different, though.
- How different can they be?
They got better fries.
- Fries?
- Yeah, they're crispier.
Okay.
What the hell, man?
- Where's my brother?
- I don't know.
- Where?
- I don't know.
- Mikey.
- Why you all over me, Bobby?
Danny got arrested for a
job. There were three guys.
- Cops looking for me?
- They're looking for Matty!
I had nothing to
do with any job.
Danny hits a lot of crank
and he goes loco, man.
He talked about pulling
a job, so I quit him.
Look, I don't know if your
brother was with him or not.
Bobby, we got a job.
Bobby.
I ain't lying.
Go home, Mikey.
Just a minute. Gotta put some
of my dad's clothes in a bag.
You grew up here. Nice.
Your dad see any action?
Yeah. Made the landing at
Inchon. Purple Heart and everything.
- Oh, your mom, she's beautiful.
- Yeah, she was.
Oh, my God! Is this you?
- Check out that 'fro, bro.
- Come on, put it down.
You trying out for the
ABA or the Jackson Five?
I was 12. You don't have any
goofy pictures of you as a kid?
There wasn't anybody who gave
a damn about me to take pictures.
I gotta go find his prescriptions.
He's gonna need them.
There's some meds over here.
Digoxin.
Need a refill. It's empty.
Sully, I'll meet you inside.
- You're not gonna eat?
- There's a CD I want to grab first.
- Make it fast.
- It'll take two seconds.
- IV's positional. But it's running.
- Get an arm board on her.
Cap refill's poor.
Bilateral rales. She's in heart
failure. Getting 80 of Lasix.
She's just gonna help you
to breathe easier, okay?
- Hold on, Tina.
- Here you go.
She needs to
get to the hospital.
There's no elevator and we can't
get a gurney down that staircase.
- Can she walk?
- Five flights? No way.
We can't carry her.
Let the ducks get the hernias.
One time, Boscorelli,
think. Don't talk.
If she really cared, she'd stop
with the food. You see that spread?
It isn't necessarily overeating, it
could be a thyroid or adrenal problem.
- Tumor on the pituitary gland.
- I feel for her.
But would you let
your son get like that?
- Bosco, you just modeling the uniform?
- Medics need a laborer.
- They need you to cart a patient.
- Haul a patient?
Why do you make it so
easy to make fun of you?
- Whoa.
- Any ideas on getting her out?
- Start a diet and wait for spring?
- Any good ideas.
We could secure her to a gurney
and turn it sideways. Bobby?
- No, she couldn't take the strain.
- We don't have many options.
We gotta do something
fast. She's circling the drain.
Let's take the wall
out, make a new door...
set up some rigs on the roof,
and lower down to the street.
- Sounds like our best bet.
- All right.
This is gonna be real good.
Thank you.
Hey, Malcolm.
We wasn't doing
nothing, officer.
- We just talking here.
- I don't care.
- No, we wasn't doing nothing...
- I said, I don't care.
If you don't get
out, I'm gonna care.
All right. Peace,
bro. All right, bro.
Damn! You happy now?
I got Knicks tickets.
You want to go?
- Yeah. Hand them over.
- No, I mean, with me.
- You want to go with me?
- Sure I do.
Why not?
If I'm gonna hang with anybody,
I'm gonna hang with my boys.
Why you trying to be my
nigga? You don't know me.
- I want to know you.
- You sound like a bitch.
Is that right? I'm trying
to do you a favor, man.
No one else is trying to
hook you up with tickets.
Take them or not, it's
nothing to me either way.
You can go be with your boys,
talking about how hard you were.
How you bad-assed your
way out of some courtsides.
All right. What the hell.
I'll give you the ticket
now so you can go scalp it.
Meet me at the Garden on Seventh,
15 minutes before game time.
- Whatever.
- You gonna be there?
- I said, all right.
- All right.
I'll see you later.
Tell Bobby I could
use a hand here.
Bobby.
- Bobby, Kim needs you.
- Fine, thanks. All right.
- You straight?
- Just some family stuff.
Yokas, there's a coffee shop on
89th that got held up yesterday.
- Did they catch the guys?
- I don't know.
- Thanks.
- Cookie? You want a cookie?
- Fresh-baked.
- Ma'am.
- You need to move out of the way.
- They don't like cookies?
I've got Milk Duds.
The firemen need to get the wall
down and get Tina to the hospital.
- Maybe I should make her a snack.
- The paramedics have an IV in her.
I have cake and pie
and waffles. Fresh.
- Everything fresh.
- Ma'am.
- Huh?
- Your daughter's in serious condition.
- Feeding her won't help.
- No, I...
No, it's not the food.
She has a problem.
Yes, she does.
- Giving her junk is making her worse.
- No. The food makes her happy.
Being 1000 pounds and being stuck
in her bedroom makes her happy?
I just want my baby to be happy.
I want her to be well.
You'll make her good, right?
You'll make my girl
good again? Yes.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Where is it?
- Where's what?
- The CD you went to buy.
Oh, they didn't have it.
You spent the last half-hour
looking for a CD they didn't have?
Yeah. I really wanted that CD.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Can I get a burger?
- Thanks.
- No fries?
Those things pack
on the pounds, man.
Don't talk about me being out of
bed. I've been on my back for hours.
So I thought getting up
and moving around would...
Good. You brought my pills.
Those damn things are expensive.
They were on the nightstand.
You said you took
them in the bathroom.
That's what I remember.
The prescription is a week
old and the bottle's empty.
Your overdose,
was it an accident?
No.
Are you sick?
No.
I don't understand.
Look at me. Look at your father.
I'm coming apart.
I have a bad heart,
cataracts, diabetes...
Every day I gotta test
my blood, take shots.
Ten pills every day.
That's an
inconvenience, that's all.
I saw my doctor last week. He
said I needed a hip replacement.
But not to worry. A few months
of therapy and I'd be able to...
climb stairs and get
around on a walker.
You want to end your life
because you need help with stairs?
I am not ending anything!
It's already over.
Every day from here on
in is gonna get worse...
not better.
Okay.
I know people. Psychologists.
- I don't need doctors.
- You're just a little depressed.
Just give this some
time. They can help.
I don't need help.
I am tired of my life.
I'm tired of watching
myself waste away.
Monte...
I want to do this.
I want to die.
- Truck big enough?
- Yeah, how you guys coming?
- Should be ready in 30 minutes.
- That's cutting it close.
I'll get started on the wall.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
- You are gonna fix that, right?
- Ma'am. Please stay back.
Please? Thank you.
Hey, you doing all right?
When they get this wall down,
we'll get you out of here, okay?
Okay.
Don't go.
You need to keep the mask on.
- Will you talk to me?
- Me?
Maybe I should get my partner.
- You don't want to talk to me?
- No, she's a woman...
Don't you want to do some
woman-to-woman talking?
Am I so awful you
don't want to talk to me?
No. Listen to me. No.
You shouldn't bother with all this.
I don't want to go to the hospital.
It's the only way to get better.
I don't want people
to see me how I am.
- You look fine.
- No, I don't.
You gotta put this mask on.
You know what? How
about we brush your hair?
What good is brushing
my hair gonna do?
I'm 800 pounds.
Do you want to date me?
No.
At least you're honest, you know?
I always wanted an honest man.
You know what?
How about we get you to the
hospital and get you better. Okay?
We'll worry about you
going on dates later on.
My chest is hurting...
Bobby!
It's okay. It's okay.
Dr. Morales, do
you have a second?
Your father's doing fine.
I'll discharge him
in the morning.
When he regained
consciousness, how was he?
He was good. Normal
sinus rhythms, stable vitals.
Did he seem...?
Emotionally, was he okay?
For a man who
almost died, I think...
Was he upset? Depressed?
Did he seem sorry
that you had saved him?
Why would he be sorry?
Is there something I should
know about your father?
No.
- Because if there is, I think...
- What?
You can help?
I have certain legal obligations.
But I'd like to think I can help.
Thanks. Thanks for your time.
Okay, we're set.
Let's do this.
You ready?
Easy, guys.
Okay, ready? One, two, three.
She's bradying down.
She's in respiratory arrest.
- Blades.
I'll bag her.
Look out.
Good? BOBBY: Yeah.
I'm in.
- She's good.
- Good.
Give me your belt.
Give me that.
Rescue 8, we got another
passenger riding down with her.
We all set? Let's go. Let's go.
Slow.
Move it!
A little more.
Make sure that
truck is ready to go.
We're gonna need
a lot of muscle.
Get ready to step in.
How's she doing, Bobby? - Fine.
She's better. Her
heart rate's up.
Take it down.
Get four mgs atropine ready.
- Take down the line.
Come on, let's go.
I got a strong carotid.
Give me your saline.
Let's get her on the truck.
One, two, three.
Let's get her turned
around. Stick together.
Okay, keep it coming.
Keep it coming.
Down a little bit.
Down. Okay, slide it in.
Good luck.
All records and receipts
are on water-soluble paper.
It touches water,
there's no evidence.
See anybody dumping
paper, you stop them.
See anybody going for the safe
room, shut them down. That's pay dirt.
- You ready?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Eyes open. Everybody ready?
Police! Don't move!
Hold it!
Up against the wall!
Don't move! Don't move!
Don't you move!
I got this guy, Sully.
"This guy"?
Officer Davis, say
hello to Sunder Walker.
What's up?
How about a drink?
That'd be good. I tell Fred to stop
drinking, and then I throw back a few.
And I'd come between you
and all the young gullible women.
- Hey, Kim.
- Hey.
Any word on big girl?
Looks like she's gonna make it.
Yeah? No days like
the good days, huh?
- Good night.
- See you.
- See you.
- Bye-bye.
Let me see.
- Not too bad.
- Yeah.
I think you'll still do
all right with the ladies.
You did all right tonight.
Hey, don't strain yourself.
At least you didn't embarrass
me. That's something.
How about that, your boy
Malcolm wasn't around. His luck.
His luck had some help.
I told him not to show.
- What?
- I didn't tip him to the raid.
I just told him I scored
some Knicks tickets.
He's probably still
outside the Garden.
- Oh, man.
- What?
Think about it.
Kid's supposed to be with
Sunder. He doesn't show, but we do.
Who do you think
Sunder will blame?
You get locked out?
Where you been?
- I was at work.
- Work?
- Like last night and the night before?
- Yeah.
Well, your boy Danny
got picked up by the cops.
He pulled a job.
There were two guys with him.
And you figure that
one of them was me?
It happened last night.
I was at work.
I went to your work, Matty. The
manager said you quit a week ago.
- I got another job.
- You gonna lie to my face?
I got a job at the Chinese
joint washing dishes.
Washing dishes?
You quit your job at the
store for a third of the pay?
You want to go down there?
Let's go, Bobby.
Let's take a walk.
What are you waiting
for? Let's go prove I'm lying.
Every night I'm at the store,
we get boxes of merchandise.
VCRs, camcorders, CD players.
Then one night I think
how easy it would be...
to lift one or two or 10,
and sell them. But I didn't.
I could keep myself from
ripping anything off for that night.
Maybe the next.
But sooner or later...
So I quit.
And I got a job at
the Chinese place.
It ain't much. But there
ain't much to steal either.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Tell you what?
I got a job washing rice cookers
for a living to keep from stealing?
I'm gonna take a walk.
Matty. Matty.
I'm sorry.
At least Mom and the rest of
the family don't lie to my face.
They tell me how much
they think I'm a bastard.
Good night.
What the hell? Where you been?
Malcolm?
I'm liable to bust you
one for leaving me.
You gotta get off
the street, man.
- You ain't my mother.
- Sunder got raided today.
And my partner's saying that...
he thinks that Sunder
might blame you.
Might think you set him up
because you weren't there.
See what kind of
trouble you bring around?
Now my life's hectic because
you dragged me to the Knicks.
Well, I didn't have any tickets.
I knew about the raid. I
didn't want you to be there.
So I said I had tickets.
- You screwed me!
- I was trying to help.
Help me how?
Help me get one in
the back of the head?
You think Sunder plays
at being a hard-ass?
- How do you think he'll take this?
- Malcolm.
- Man, back off!
- They're gonna hurt you.
Man, they're gonna kill me!
They're gonna kill me!
Man, just stay clear.
You've done me enough.
Monte!
I'm glad you came back.
I wanted to talk to you.
Don't know exactly what to say.
This isn't the conversation I
ever thought that I would have.
But I just want you
to understand that...
- Dad, this is Dr. Morales.
- I know who she is.
Your son said you tried
to take your own life.
I'm obligated to give you
a psychiatric evaluation.
- You're putting me away?
- No. It's not that.
How could you do that to me?
We just want to take some
time to assess how you're feeling.
- This is my life.
- This is not your life.
Not just your life.
You're my father
and a part of my life.
What life?
For a whole year, ever
since your wife died...
I've watched you shrink
away from the world.
Do you know how painful it is...
to see your son shut himself off
from everything and everybody?
You say you want me to stay alive.
You won't even let your own self live.
- Dad.
- Get out.
- This is not what I wanted.
- Go on. Get out.
Doc, come on. Go outside.
- Come on.
- Dad.
Come on.
Accusing him,
checking up on him.
Should've just smacked him.
It wouldn't have hurt any more.
You're also the only
person who tried to help him.
You gave him a place
to stay. You got him a job.
First chance I got, I
pointed a finger at him.
Well, not for no reason, Bobby.
Sully tells you that Matty might
have been involved in a robbery.
How can you trust your brother with
everything that happened in the past?
I wonder if I ever
believed in him.
It's getting late.
I should go.
I'll see you later.
You did the right thing.
But can you imagine
what it would be like?
Too old to drive, physically
deteriorating, mind slipping.
Can't even take
care of yourself.
More child than adult.
That's what's waiting for us.
If you're lucky enough
to even get that old.
I called him selfish because
he wanted to die. But maybe...
I'm selfish for wanting
to keep him alive.
Mm.
Maybe you did what
was best for him.
You've given him enough time to
decide if it's what he really wants.
Hey, want to get
some coffee and talk?
Thanks. Some other time.
Doctor?
Thank you.
