A secret threatens to destroy Doherty's work relationships and home life. Sully makes a date with his pretty neighbor. Bosco gets violent after his mother is beaten by her boyfriend.

ANNOUNCER:
Previously on Third Watch.

- Hi.
- Hi. I'm, uh-- I'm your neighbor.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

- I'm John Sullivan.
- I'm Tatiana.

Tatiana. That's a nice name.
I'll remember it.

- Everybody knows Linda?
- Congratulations. Jimmy, this is incredible.

ALEX: I walked in on Doherty
With Lombardo's date.

BOBBY: He'll figure it out soon.
So will Brooke.

Sometimes I think about after Dad left...

...think about how you raised us.

You still worked,
but you were always there.



You were always there for us.

BOSCO:
I never put much faith in love.

It's okay for chick flicks
and greeting cards.

But you don't see much out here
to convince you there's really anything to it.

I said "I love you" a couple times
when a girl was looking at me...

...like if I didn't say it, I was gonna be
sleeping by myself that night.

But mostly I think it's a load of
sentimental crap women made up...

...to try to keep men
from following their instincts...

...and chasing tail every waking minute
of every single day.

But as a man says,
that's just my opinion.

- I could be wrong. But, hey, I doubt it.
- Ow.

FAITH:
Bosco, just let him go.

Bosco, forget it!

Come on, Bosco. It's only JJ.
We'll get him later.



Damn it, Bosco!

Here I come, jack-off.
You better be scared.

I can see you, moron. That's all yours
coming out of your pocket.

Where are you gonna go now, JJ?

Well, now what, huh?
You're not gonna jump.

Go ahead. Go ahead, jump.

I dare you.

[GRUNTING]

What, you figured
you were gonna bounce?

Where the hell
do you think you're going, huh?

Hey, genius.
You probably broke it or something.

What are you gonna do now?
Climb down on one leg?

You're really starting
to piss me off now, JJ, you know that?

You're pissing me off.

FAITH:
Where is he?

Idiot jumped.

- Five stories?
- No. Maybe two.

Now he's trying to climb down
the fire escape.

You do something to your leg?

Yeah, I did something to my leg.
I followed my moron partner...

...When he jumped
over the Grand Canyon back there.

[CHUCKLING]

Where are you going now?

I thought I'd catch him
before he gets away.

Come on, Bosco.
He'll be out on the corner tomorrow.

No way. No way.

You know what,
if he's hurt, he'll show up in the ER.

And if not, he'll be back out
here selling tomorrow.

- And we'll round him up then.
- This bastard's going down.

- You hear me? He's going down.
KIM: Sweet, huh?

- Kind of overkill, don't you think?
- Planning on climbing K2 anytime soon?

No. I'm planning
on keeping my feet warm.

- They expensive?
- Worth every penny.

- The lining breathes too.
- That's important.

Oh, laugh all you want, but you're gonna be
begging for a pair of these...

...next time we have to stand
in the snow.

When do we have to stand
in the snow for two hours?

- Never.
- What the hell are those?

Kim's entering the Iditarod.

I'm closing out
the Super Bowl pool today.

There's still a few squares up there.

- I'll get a couple more.
- Who's having a party this year?

MAN 1: Mister Walsh.
- Walsh?

Man, I thought your wife was giving up
the media room for the baby.

I moved it out to the garage.

- Bring a parka.
- Whoa, hold on.

How the hell does
anybody get 33 points?

Four TDs, a field goal and a safety.

- Three TDs, four field goals.
MAN 1: That's it.

Eleven field goals.

Two touchdowns,
a field goal and eight safeties.

- Right, thanks.
- Eight safeties?

WALSH:
Hey, Joey. How's it going?

- Jimmy.
- Hey, JoJo, you coming to Walsh's for--?

MAN 2: Hey, hey, hey!
MAN 3: Stop it. Stop it.

JOE:
Get off of me. Get off of me.

- Bastard!
JIMMY: What's wrong with you?

- Son of a bitch!
- I was just standing here.

- Calm down. Hey, relax, okay.
- I was just standing here.

You're a big man, right, Jimmy?
Coming to the house every weekend.

- My best friend.
- What the hell are you talking about?

What's wrong with me? Why don't you
tell everybody what you did?

Your own engagement party?
Go ahead, tell the guys.

Go ahead. Tell them all what you did.

- You son of a bitch.
- Hey, hey, hey.

What? You don't remember?

My girlfriend Linda
in the bathroom at the restaurant?

That's right. She told me.

You better grow some eyes
in the back of your head. You hear me?

What's going on?

[SULLY HUMMING]

[SINGING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a sec.

- Hi.
- Hello. I'm, uh, Tatiana.

Oh, no. I remember you. The sink.

Is your TV Working?

- My TV?
- Yeah, mine isn't.

And I think maybe that it's the cable.

Oh, uh, I don't know. You know,
I haven't even had mine on today.

But why don't you come in,
and we'll, you know, check it out.

Wow.

That's big.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I lucked out.
I found it 15 years ago...

...before the rent's
really started to go up.

You've been here 15 years?

Yeah, well....

Good.

Nice.

And you're a musician?

Oh, no. I just...

...you know, mess around.

Usually, it's collecting dust
in my bedroom.

I can never find the damn remote.

How long have you been a policeman?

Oh, too long.

- I'm a waitress at the Marriott.
- Oh, yeah?

But policeman has good benefit, right?

Pretty good.

You?

- The benefits?
- No.

But I wear short skirts
so I get good tips.

Oh. You know, here it is.

All right, let's see.

Oh, yeah, look. It's everybody.

- You want me to call them?
- No, that's okay.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Sure. All I did was turn on my TV.

You know, I like music. I used to listen
to that all the time back home.

- Where is that? Home?
- Ukraine.

Ah.

You know, there's lots of places here
in the city you can go and listen to music.

- You should check them out.
- Yeah. Yeah, I should.

SULLY:
Okay.

Cold out.

Go away, Kim.

You okay?

Why would Linda tell him?

Probably had a fight or something.

What were the guys saying?

Not much. I don't think
anybody knows what to say.

I always know
it's a bad idea at the time.

Somehow, I convince myself
I'm gonna get away with it.

Pretty stupid, huh?

I have to tell Brooke, don't I?

Every time I get something good
in my life, I have to screw it up.

[CHATTERING]

You just hit the lotto. Take off.

Beat it. Jersey's that way.

Hey, jack-off!

Remember me, huh?

You. Yeah, you.

- Take off that cap.
- What?

BOSCO: The Islanders are the best hockey
team in the world, and they're my team.

You don't get to deal drugs in that hat.

I'm looking for JJ.

He got a girlfriend, the moms, what?

Huh?

Until I find him,
I'm gonna keep coming.

Nobody's gonna make squat today,
or tomorrow, or the day after.

Where the hell do you think you're going?
Get your ass over there.

So who's gonna tell me
Where I can find JJ?

Huh?

You, with the stupid hair.
Get your ugly ass over here.

FAITH:
Get over here, McGrath.

You two are tight. where is he?

I ain't his damn mother.

Well, you look like a mother, pretty boy.

Bet you last time you were in Rikers,
they had you wearing a dress.

High heels too, huh?

No. I think that that was you.

- You were in little red thong, right?
- Right.

Get your ass up against the wall.
Get your ass against the wall.

- Let's see your hands.
- Back up. All of you, back up.

- Watch my damn jacket.
- Oh. Sorry.

What do we have here?

Huh? Illegal narcotics?

I am shocked and dismayed.

Put your hands up against the wall.

That was really nice, Bosco.
You feel better now?

My partner here thinks
drugs should be legalized.

What do you think?

That would cut into your livelihood,
Wouldn't it?

[WHISTLES]

Huh? No opinion?

She's talking about taking your job.
You don't have a position on the issue?

The quickest way to get out of this,
Mac, is to tell us where we can find JJ.

- I need my inhaler.
- For what?

- I got asthma.
- Well, where is it?

I don't know. I gotta go to the hospital.

This is great, Bosco. This just
keeps getting better and better.

[SIRENS WAILING]

WOMAN [OVER RADIO]:
17-25 West, 8th Street.

1-7-2-5 West, 8th Street.

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER RADIO]

Here we go.

Stay out of my way.

We got a med clearance. This guy says
he needs an inhaler for his asthma.

NURSE: Come over there.
We'll try to get to him before Easter.

You got a Band-Aid? I scraped my knee.

Boscorelli.
Is that a common Italian name?

BOSCO:
Not really.

We got a woman in back.
Looks like somebody beat her up.

Claims she ran into a door. Uh, Rose....

Angela Rose Boscorelli.

Mom?

- God.
- Ma?

Mom. Oh, my God.

- Damn it. Steve?
- It was an accident.

- Where is he? Did he bring you in?
- Listen to me.

Did the son of a bitch
even bring you in?

I-- I started it.
It wasn't his fault. It was me.

Maurice. Maurice.

FAITH:
Bosco, is she all right?

Bosco?

Today is your lucky day, Mac.

Look, if you're gonna drive like this,
We should at least turn on the lights.

Where are we going?

- Is it at least in our precinct?
- If you want out, I'll pull over.

Did your mom's boyfriend beat her up?

Do you want to talk to the detectives?

No.

I thought she left that guy.

I guess not.

Son of a bitch.

Come here, you son of a bitch!

Where the hell are the stairs?
Where are the damn stairs?

Bosco!

[TYRES SCREECH]

BOSCO:
Son of a bitch!

Damn it!

TY: why don't you use a fork?
SULLY: I want to learn how to do this.

TY: You like jazz?
- Depends.

We got Buddy Miles
and the Chicago Blues all week.

Maybe she likes classical.
She's Russian, right?

- Ukrainian.
- Here we go.

Moscow Chamber Orchestra,
Carnegie Hall.

- Davis.
- How about that one?

- But it's sold out.
- I'm telling you, you might as well...

...forget about it.
Tatiana's not interested in me.

What? You've got a good job.

You're a nice guy.
Maybe she's looking for stability.

- You make me sound like a table.
TY: Here we go.

- DJ Mind-X at Webster Hall.
- That's romantic.

KIM: what sounds romantic?
- Sully's neighbor's got the hots for him.

Ooh.

- Tatiana.
- Yeah.

Trying to find the right thing
to do on their date.

Have sex.

- Okay.
- On a first date?

Get it out of the way. You're thinking
about it, she's thinking about it.

If it's lousy, you don't
have to waste time on a second date.

Tatiana. Sounds exotic.

- She's Ukrainian.
- Rowr.

Really? Hey, Sully. Not for nothing,
but I knew this girl, Russian girl.

She was a stripper. Nice, bro.
They keep it real.

- Will everybody just shut up, please.
- What about Russian girls?

- Nothing.
- Sully got a hot commie chick after him.

She have any friends?

DOC: who are desperate?
- All right. I'm gonna wait in the car.

- Come on.
- I'm tired of this.

- Just sit down.
- Come on.

I'm finishing my food.

Did you hear what happened?

DOC:
Don't talk about that.

- Why you bring that up?
- Why not?

It's the most interesting thing
that's happened.

Lombardo found about
Doherty and that girl in the bathroom.

- And went after him.
- Are you serious?

He was gonna kill him.
It took five of us to pull him off.

Us? You were eating Cheerios.

- Look. Sully left his fortune cookie.
- Does the wife know?

What do you think?

"Love is priceless,
true love irreplaceable."

Oh, that's profound.

FAITH:
He's not coming home tonight.

He probably went to a hotel
or a friend's or something.

Figures he'll just lay low
until you calm down, you know?

How long have they been going out?

What?

This Skagett guy and your mom,
how long they've been together?

A couple years.

Maybe she should talk to somebody,
you know. You think....

Maybe she should get like
an order of protection.

That might be the way to go about....

Okay.

Okay.

MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]: Units in the 5-5,
shots fired, 105, two to three.

MAN 2:
5-5 Edward going.

Bosco, there were shots fired.
Are we going?

Bosco, are we going?

5-5 David to Central, 105, two to three.

So you want to go out
for something to eat?

- No, thanks.
- You want to go for a drink?

No.

- You sure?
- Yup.

So you're gonna go home then, right?

Yeah.

ANGELA:
Maurice.

Good. I'll see you
tomorrow then. Okay?

How's your hand?

Please don't hurt him.

God.

Where is he?

Is he over at your place?

- You went to the factory?
- You're right.

- Don't. He could lose his job.
- His job?

His job?

- I don't give a damn about his job.
- This was my fault.

We had a fight. I was very jealous.
I said terrible things.

Have you even looked at yourself
in the mirror, Mom?

Huh?

- Have you seen what he did to you?
- I hit him first.

He tried to get away from me.
I was all over him.

- I was chasing him.
- Do you think you deserve this?

Huh?

He loves me.

He loves you?

He doesn't mean to hurt me.
He is not like that.

Please.

He loves me.

I love him.

I need him.

And I don't want to lose him. Please.

Please don't hurt him.

Please promise me.

Hey, what are you doing out here?

I'm just waiting for you.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Where's your jacket?
You gotta be freezing to death.

What happened to your face?

Okay, this is not one of those fire stories
that's gonna keep me up at night, is it?

I thought
I was gonna be okay with it, but--

No. It's, it's....

It's nothing like that.

Joe and I, we got into a fight.

Joe...? Joe Lombardo?

About what?

Linda.

What about Linda?

Um....

She told, uh, Joe that we had sex...

...in the bathroom
at our engagement party.

And did you?

Did you?

Oh, my God.

Brooke? Brooke.

- No.
- No, Brooke, wait a second. Brooke.

You stay away from me, Jimmy.

FAITH:
Did I scare you?

Not really.

I called your place to see
if you were okay, and I got your machine.

So how long are you planning
on sitting here?

I mean, don't you imagine
he's fast asleep somewhere by now?

Someplace warm
With blankets and pillows.

He has to come home sooner or later.

What did your mom Want?
Is she gonna press charges?

She's afraid if I give him a beating,
that he's gonna leave her.

Did she say how it happened?

The same way it has
a thousand times before.

She starts a fight, and then pushes it...

...pushes it, and pushes it
until she gets hit.

He's hit her before?

This guy...

...the guy before that...

...and the guy before that...

...and my dad before that.

Are you happy?

- Your dad used to hit her?
- It's no big deal.

We see it out here every day, right?

Beating Women is as American
as the Fourth of July.

All right.

Damn it.

Hi.

Is your cable back on?

Uh, yeah.

Mine too. Thanks.

Well, I just wanted
to make sure you were all set.

Yeah.

Okay. Well....

See you around.

Look, here's the thing. I have--

I haven't been out
to hear live music in a long time.

And you said that you liked
to go and listen to music.

So I thought we might
go out together sometime.

Okay.

- Yeah?
- Yeah. That sounds nice.

[CHUCKLES]

Great. When?

Uh....

- Friday?
- No. No.

Because I work on the weekend.

Oh.

Oh. I'm Working Weekday nights for...

...the next two weeks.

I don't even get off until 11.

Yeah. But 11 is okay.

Yeah? 11 :30?

Yeah. You know, I am up late usually.

How about tonight?

- Tonight?
- It's too soon?

No. Um....

No. Tonight would be good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, I could come back
and pick you up.

Okay.

- Eleven-thirty.
- Yeah.

- Okay. I'll see you around.
- Okay.

- Around 11 :30.
- Yeah.

- Bye.
- Okay.

WALSH: What's the spread?
MAN: Three and a half.

Get out of here with that.
That's a sucker's bet.

On any given Sunday, baby.

KIM:
Hey, how you doing?

Did you talk to Brooke?

Yeah.

What did you tell her?

The truth.

- I'm gonna get ready for the shift.
- What are you gonna tell Joey?

Look. If you and Brooke are splitting up...

...I'd rather he hear it
from you than from me.

Are you sure you don't want to leave?
I'm a pariah around here now.

What did you expect?

I introduced Joe and Linda
in the first place.

And she and I had a thing before Kim.

I figured they'd hit it off
so I hooked them up.

What, so that makes it better
because you'd had her first?

No.

Yeah, maybe.

I don't know.

Why the hell did she have to tell him?

So it's her fault for telling the truth?

She had to know
it was gonna hurt people.

Everybody's fault except for yours,
right, Jimmy?

I'm pretty sure I dated you
a couple times over the years.

What?

Forget it.

She probably told him because she
Wanted to hurt a lot of people.

Probably you most of all.

She cared about you enough
to have sex with you...

...during your engagement party.

- She came on to me.
- What do you think?

That she did it just for fun?

You know, for a guy
Who's had a lot of Women...

...you sure as hell
don't know much about them.

Bosco, this is a really bad idea.

BOSCO:
Stay in the car.

FAITH:
Oh, that's great.

So, what are we
vandalizing private property now?

BOSCO: Pick up that phone,
you're on the first boat back...

...to whatever Caribbean craphole
you illegally immigrated from.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, Steve.

[GRUNTING]

FAITH:
Bosco, that's enough.

Bosco, it's enough.

It's enough!

You touch my mother again, I'll kill you.

You hear me?

Somebody call an ambulance
for this piece of trash.

TY:
Eleven-thirty tonight, huh?

You gonna go listen to music?

If I can find something
for us to go listen to.

You sure she doesn't
Want to just go to your place?

Get it on, so to speak.

There is nothing.

Take her to one of those
fancy hotels in midtown.

- Davis.
- You want music.

They always got somebody
playing piano at the bar.

And, yes, there's the added bonus
of it being a hotel...

...Which would be very convenient.

- Is that all you ever think about?
- No.

- Yes.
- Yes?

- Yes.
- Davis, I really like this woman.

On the off chance
that she might like me...

...I'd rather not screw it up
by hitting on her on the date.

Sully, women expect you to make a move.
If you don't they get offended.

They do. They go home all confused.

"ls there something wrong with me?
Is my butt too big?

Is he gay?"

- Sorry, I got you into this.
- I could have stayed in the car.

- Boxer's fracture.
- Do I need a cast?

Splint's fine.
Just keep it elevated and iced.

FAITH:
How's Skagett?

He's got a couple of broken ribs,
an orbital fracture, and a concussion.

He's gonna need a plastic surgeon
to stitch up his cheek.

It's gonna be a while
before I can get to you.

We're backed up.
I'm gonna need the room.

You can wait in the nurses' lounge.
I'll come get you.

FAITH:
Thank you.

That guy, uh, Skagett...

- ...he the one that beat up your mother?
- Yup.

NURSE:
She's back.

- Who?
NURSE: Your mother.

Came in about ten minutes ago.

She's down with that guy
that beat her up.

Maurice, I begged you. I begged you.

- It was none of your damn business.
- You're my mother.

- You could have killed him.
- I should have.

I told you, stay away from him.

How can you let him
treat you like this, Ma?

How can you let him
treat you like this?

- It's my life.
- It's my life too.

- It's my life.
- It's my life too, Mom.

You know what?
He won't hit you again.

You know why? Because I stopped it.

I couldn't stop it with Dad.
I stopped it with this bastard.

This has nothing to do with father.

- Oh, no?
- No.

- No?
- Your father and I had trouble.

- We worked through them.
- Worked through them?

What a joke. It was a damn prize fight.

How could you leave us there
Watching all that?

I was 10 years old...

...and Mike was 8 years old.

You were always
the most important thing in my life.

I loved you and your brother very much.

You didn't love us enough
from keep us from Watching all that.

I've got a question for you. Have you
filed charges against this bastard yet? Huh?

Or are you in there
begging him to keep you around?

That's what I thought.

You know what?
I'm not 10 years old anymore, Ma.

Somebody hits my mother, they're gonna
get a beating Whether you like it or not.

Maurice.

Bosco.

Bosco.

Bosco.

Yeah?

Christopher called,
and he wants us back at the house.

Skagett's gonna file
assault charges against you.

[CHATTERING AND LAUGHING]

Anybody seen Joe around?

I think he's downstairs.

If it makes any difference, I'm sorry.

SULLY: Hey, I thought you had music until 1.
- No customers.

- We came all the way downtown.
- Sorry.

- You want to go someplace else?
- No. It looks nice.

Seven and Seven, please.

- You?
- Vodka, chilled, no ice.

- Sure thing.
- Thanks.

- You hungry?
- No, not really.

I'm sorry about this.

I called at 9, and they said
that they had music until 1 a.m.

- You look beautiful.
- Thank you.

So....

How long have you been here?

Two years.

So, uh, which kind of music do you like?

All kinds really.

You?

Rock 'n' roll mostly.

Do you like to dance?

Yeah.

You know, it's been a while, but, uh....

- Do you play? The piano.
- Oh.

My mom made me
take lessons when I was a kid.

But no. I'm not any good.

But you promised me music.

No, I can't.

You're gonna be disappointed.

- Say, do you mind if I, uh...?
- Knock yourself out.

We used to have this big, old
upright piano in our living room.

It was never in tune. This is....

This is a real piano.

[PLAYING "SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME"
ON PIANO]

Yeah, I love that. what is that?

It's Gershwin.

Yeah. He wrote "Rhapsody is Blue."

Yeah. That's very good.

[CONTINUES PLAYING]

That's-- That's all I remember.

Thank you.

Hi.

I'm sorry, Joe.

Hey, Jimmy, was it worth it?

No.

Did they tell you how much longer?

Mm-mm.

The techs are still
at the hospital taking the report.

- Did you call the union rep?
- Why?

To get a lawyer down here.

- No, thanks.
- Bosco, you could lose your job.

I knew what I was doing.
If that gets me fired, so be it.

- Well, they can help you.
- I'm fine with it, Faith.

So you really think it's hereditary?

Passed on from father to son.

What?

The violence.

You think When I marry,
I'm gonna beat my wife?

Because that's what I saw growing up?

I don't think it has to be that way, Bos.

Not if you know that that's not
What you want.

What are you doing here?

I didn't know where else to wait.

Well, you should have gone home.

- So, what happens next?
- Nothing.

- He's not gonna press charges.
- What are you talking about?

Your mother told him if he filed on you,
she'd have him arrested for assault.

Go on. Get the hell out of here.

TATIANA:
You're such a nice man.

- Nice?
- What? Nice is good.

But I'd rather be
mysterious and dangerous.

- Dangerous.
- And a hero.

Why would you want to be dangerous?

I thought that's what women wanted.
Men to be unpredictable.

No. We want predictable.

Well...

...I had a wonderful time
With you tonight.

Yeah, me too. Thank you.

You're welcome.

You don't want to ask me in?

What, to my place? Sure.

I don't think I've got
very much to drink in there.

- Maybe a couple of beers.
- That's okay because I'm not thirsty.

I just want to go to bed.

Do you like sex, John?

Because I like sex.

[SIGHS]

- Need a lift?
- No, thanks.

You got company.

- I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
- Yeah.

...thank you for sticking around.

You bet.

What are you doing out here?

- Huh? It's freezing.
- I know.

You know I would never do anything
to intentionally hurt you, right?

I always wanted only
What was best for you and your brother.

Will you please forgive me?

Please.

[ANGELA CRYING]

My baby...

...I love you so much.

Please.
