Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 2, Episode 3 - Four Days - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Previously on Third Watch:

How long do you think it's gonna be
before we shovel you into a body bag?

I'm asking you whether you ever remember
a time when you screwed up...

...and someone cut you some slack,
believed in you.

I think I could be a good father
in this room.

Where have you been all my life?

My name's Puppet to you.
Now, get out of my way.

- We're supposed to try help people.
- Not the ones that shoot--

- You get to decide who's worthy?
- We're supposed to just do our job.

NARRATOR:
Tonight on Third Watch:

- One of the bastards got away.
- They need treatment.



Worry about those cops
and forget about everybody else.

- Think the police executed them?
- I wasn't in there.

But did it look like they did?

By all means, let's beat every black guy
in New York until there's no more crime.

Son of a bitch.

FAITH: Doc!
- I didn't shoot no one in no restaurant.

- He needs help.
- He needs prison time.

- I had it under control.
- You are a damn paramedic, Doc, that's it.

All right, hold it, listen. Now, listen--

-== [ www.OpenSubtitles.com ] ==-

Hey. Hey, knock it off.
Come on. Hey, that's enough.

Come on, guys, knock it off.
What are you doing, huh?

You guys are friends.

Now, shake hands.



Come on, shake hands. You don't want
me to tell your folks, do you?

Shake hands.

Good. Now, go home.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of God.

I come here for your bagels,
not your Bible classes.

I run a full-service shop.

Two onion?

- Uh, raisin today.
COP 1: Morning, Doc.

Fellas.

How about a sample
of my famous chocolate bagel?

No chocolate. No chocolate.

You know, I'm outside breaking up fights,
you guys are in here copping free coffee?

Marcus doesn't even know
What free means.

- Who was fighting?
- Timmy O'Neal and that Newell Barnes kid.

COP 1: Ooh. Clash of the titans.
COP 2: You didn't get hurt, did you?

Y'all see? I'm paying for my purchases.
Try it sometime.

- Don't make me come off this chair.
- Is that even possible anymore?

Oh.

COP 1: You can run but you can't hide.
- Hide?

I drive a giant red and white van
With flashing lights and a siren.

What are you, stupid?

[SIRENS WAILING]

- Are there really five?
- I didn't stop to count.

Hey, get out of the way. Back up.

Back up. Come on.

SULLY: A couple skells walked in
and just started shooting.

- Didn't even go for the money.
TY: Bastards didn't care who got in the way.

SULLY:
Looks like this was payback.

Doc, another one over here.

She's still alive.

She's bad, man.

TY:
Hold on, ma'am.

- You gotta wait outside.
ADAMS: My daughter.

TY: I'm sorry--
- Please, please. Her name is Tanya.

- I have to get in.
TY: I'm sorry.

[DOOR POUNDING]

CARLOS: Found in a fast-food restaurant.
Gunshot wound to the left chest.

Exit below the left scapula.

Arrested en route.
Blood loss, about three-and-a-half liters.

Two large bores going, two liters
of saline onboard, and an amp of epi.

- How long since the epi?
- Almost three minutes.

Unbuckle her.
Is this one of the victims from the shooting?

- Yeah, her name is Tanya Adams.
- Stop.

- One....
- One, two, three.

NURSE:
IV's infiltrated.

Two pints of O-neg on the rapid infuser,
spin a crit, type and cross for ten.

NURSE: Wrap a central line.
DANA: Asystole.

MORALES: Get me that scissor.
NURSE: Right here.

Let's turn her.

DOCTOR:
Pulse-ox is low, 86.

Find an extra red top. Call Radiology...

- ...for a cross-table, C-spine and a chest.
CARLOS: Doc?

- Doc?
- What? What?

- Let's go.
DOCTOR: Give me some four by fours.

NURSE: Put the O.R. on standby.
CARLOS: Come on.

DOCTOR: Somebody bag her.
NURSE: I'll draw a blood gas.

HARRY:
Hey, brother man.

You know they still ain't took me
since you brought me in.

They're busy, Harry.
Some things take priority.

HARRY: I'm bleeding.
- Well, it's a small cut. They'll get to you.

Bleeding's supposed to mean something.

Don't bleeding mean a damn thing
in this piss-ass hospital?

- Aren't I always nice to you?
- Yeah.

I mean, other medics, they don't even
Want to bring you in anymore.

Don't I always give you play?
Don't I always treat you with respect?

Now I'm asking for the same respect.

I'm asking that you act like a gentleman,
sit down and wait.

I will.

Don't you worry about me none.
I'm sorry.

Scary Harry's gonna act like a gentleman?
Come on.

Hey, Harry.
Your next forty, remember, pinky up.

Where is she? Where's my daughter?

- They're working on her now.
- She's alive though, right?

- They have her in the trauma room.
- What does that mean?

They're good people.
They're doing everything they can.

- Excuse me? Excuse me?
- Ma'am, they're really busy today.

- If you just--
- Can somebody help me, please?

They shot my daughter.

Hayley Friend coming to you
from the Tastee Grille restaurant...

...in uptown Manhattan
where a grim tragedy has occurred today.

Gunmen have apparently opened fire
on employees and customers...

...of this restaurant,
leaving five people dead or wounded.

Amongst those killed, a popular teacher
who worked for the school system...

...here in this uptown neighborhood
for some 27 years.

- Survived by her husband--
- Who's that?

The woman I had.
DOA on the floor in front of the counter.

--by her students at P.S. 144.

And we now go to Don Holman
who is litve at the school.

- Damn, they shot a teacher.
- What about that girl, Tanya?

- She doesn't rate a mention?
LOMBARDO: They said there were four others.

As long as they said "others."

- What's his problem?
CARLOS: That reporter's hot, huh?

BOBBY:
Man, why are the cops jocked up today?

KIM: There's a bunch of plainclothes guys
pouring into the precinct.

BOBBY: One of the victims
Was a teacher or something?

Twenty-seven years, saw on the news.
Lived out on Staten Island.

KIM: A White woman in this neighborhood?
Should have stayed in the burbs.

- Anything new about the shooters?
BOBBY: Last I heard...

...20 to 25-year-old male, blacks.

KIM: They tried,
but they couldn't be less specific.

BOBBY: There was a videotape,
but they couldn't see anything.

Open season.

CARLOS: Glad I'm not a 25-year-old
black guy in this neighborhood today.

KIM:
True that.

What? I watch television.

HAYLEY:
Knock-knock.

- Hi. Hayley Friend.
- Hi. No comment.

Sure do know how to
take over an area, don't we?

We gotta get the story, though.
People need to know what's happening.

- Can I help you with something?
- You were at the shooting scene today.

I copied your ambulance number down.

I really don't have anything to say.

No, no. I was just thinking that
I'm sorry you have to see stuff like that.

It must not be easy.

How long you been a paramedic?

Fifteen years.

A guy with your kind of experience...

...you must have some great stories to tell.
I also do feature stuff on the weekends.

Doc, we gotta run. Code Three.

That's emergency lights and sirens.

HAYLEY: Really?
- Yeah, usually means something big.

You know, I was the actual guy
that worked on that schoolteacher.

Maybe when I get back, we can talk.

We're heading over
to the school where she taught.

- There's a candlelight vigil thing tonight.
- I'm not here tomorrow.

You know, got a test. Med school.

- Right. Well, where there's a will....
- Yeah.

Yeah, good. We'll hook up.

Look, my--

My cell phone is on here,
in case you change your mind.

You know, there were
four other victims in that restaurant.

You only mentioned the schoolteacher.

We'll try to do better.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

Hundreds have shown up
for this hastily-arranged candlelight vigil.

- It's being held by students and staff--
- Hey. You ready?

- Candlelight vigil.
- A popular teacher of 27 years.

MORALES:
That's a nice way to remember someone.

You know, they keep saying
Mrs. MacNally and "others" were hurt.

She was "Teacher of the Year"
three years in a row.

If Tanya Adams were voted
Tastee Grille "Employee of the Year" ...

...maybe then somebody
could remember her name.

- Come on, let's go. Good night.
- Good night.

MORALES: I'm glad I'm going home.
Coroner's picking up another victim.

This has been happening all night.

WOMAN:
Yeah, he's gonna be pulling an all-nighter.

MORALES: Seems like no one's going to jail
Without stopping in the ER first.

Five people are shot, three are dead.

I'll save my tears for Tanya Adams.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR:
My country,,tis of thee.

Sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died,
land of the Pilgrim's prid.

From every mountainside,
let freedom ring.

And if America is to be a great nation,
this must become true.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[CHATTERING]

Morons. They're beefing about getting
a million dollars worth of police service.

They don't like our heavy-handed tactics.

They can only dream about
this coverage on the Upper East Side.

You know,
I hear there's a video of the shooting.

I know most everyone around here.
I might recognize someone.

Unless you treated guys
Whose faces look like thumbprints...

- ...I don't think you're gonna know them.
- Can't see anyone?

Enough to know there's two people,
that's about it.

People don't know when they got it good.

These guys can't win.

Try to find a couple murderers,
they get a protest.

You and me are hooking up today.
Nieto's got that test.

Oh, yeah, right. I hope you remember
everything I taught you.

Yeah, I even learned
a few tricks of my own.

Hurry up. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

KIM:
Doc? Doc?

Cops need medics
to standby outside a raid.

They think they found the shooters.

Hey, you talk to Jimmy?

- Some.
- How's he doing?

He's okay.
Pushing himself harder than he should.

Trying to get back faster
than the doctors think.

- Tough guy.
- Thick head.

- That too.
- Wow, this is really sad.

I mean, that poor woman
gave her life for these kids.

- She gave her life ordering a cheeseburger.
- Damn, that's pretty cold.

I'm just saying she wasn't
teaching a class at the Tastee Grille.

They need to stop
making more out of it than it was.

- Who's "they"? I'm saying it.
- The press.

All they talk about
is this poor white woman.

White? It says she's a dedicated teacher.
There's no color mentioned.

Yeah, who worked in inner-city schools,
Which she traveled to from the suburbs...

...and we should be thankful
that she tried to help...

...the poor little black kids
become civilized members of society.

Think We're there?

Looks like they're ready
to hit a small country.

- Where do you want us, Sully?
- Anywhere in here, Doc.

Raid's right around the corner.

These are the shooters, right?
From the restaurant?

That's how it looks, yeah.

I don't know. It kind of feels like bad luck
having you guys just wait here like that.

If I thought anything was gonna happen,
I'd be getting stuff ready.

Two seconds away is better
than two minutes away.

TY: I guess.

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
All units move into assigned positions.

That's us.

MAN:
Move in! Move in! Go, go, go!

[ENGINES START]

[GUNFIRE]

MAN [OVER RADIO]: 10- 13, we have officers
down. Officers down on the second floor.

[MOUTHING]
Come on, let's go. Go.

KIM:
You hurt anywhere else?

- Doc, I got it.
SULLY: Doc, we got another officer over here.

Come on, he's bleeding.

Oh, yeah, it's a through-and-through.
Okay.

- I want you to hold this on him tight, okay?
- Okay, okay, we got it.

- I'll be right back.
SULLY: All right. We got it.

Just relax. Breathe. Breathe.

COP: whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're gonna need to keep clear.

One of the bastards got away,
don't know where he is.

- They need treatment.
- No, no, no.

You just worry about those wounded cops
and forget about everybody else.

There's nothing you could
do for them now anyway.

SULLY: Damn it. Doc, come on.
This guy's losing a hell of a lot of blood.

The only confirmed deaths so far
are three suspects killed in a gun battle...

...which left two police officers wounded.
No reports on the fourth shooter...

...although sources tell us
he appeared to be wounded.

- These men were prime suspects...
MORALES: Hey.

- ...in the murder of Nancy MacNally....
- Hey.

Looks like the cops
are gonna be all right.

- Good.
- All three of the shooters were DOA.

I know.

Think the police just executed them?

- I wasn't in there.
- Yeah, but did it look like they did?

- I wasn't in there.
SULLY: Hey, Doc?

You remember that punk, Puppet?

Gangbanger,
got his brother killed a while back?

Yeah. You remember his real name?

- Nathaniel Ryder.
- Ryder. Right.

- That's the jack-off that got away from us.
DOC: Listen, um...

...I could check my run sheets,
maybe get you an address.

No, that's okay. The name's enough.
He's gotta be in our system. Thanks, Doc.

What?

Nothing, I guess.

Don't drink the coffee, it sucks.

It looks like your guys are gonna be okay.

TY: Yeah, thanks to you guys.
- We just got them here.

What do we have, huh?
27 cops inside and outside that building?

Can't even hang onto them
When they're wounded.

There's a blood trail out the window...

...across the roof and poof, he's gone.
Explain that.

KIM:
Breathe, you're losing oxygen to the brain.

Guy got lucky.

BOSCO: Some "fresh off the boat"
zipperhead who hits the lotto is lucky.

What happened here-- I just want to be
there when they nail his black ass.

- Nice.
- Don't give me that look. He was black.

I'm guessing his ass is too.

- You got a way with words, Bosco.
BOSCO: Yeah? Check this out.

People in this neighborhood thought
We were coming down before?

I got two friends in there, shot.

Sorry.

SULLY:
Hey, Bosco.

- The car?
- I'll move it.

- You ready?
- Yup.

[SIREN WAILING]

- There they go again.
- At least we get to relax.

Joey's had me up at dawn
for four days in a row now.

- Wonder what they found now.
- He's got this problem sleeping lately.

- Probably gonna bust some heads.
- What?

What do you think
happened in that apartment?

I wasn't there.

You think they executed those guys?

- What's with you today, Doc?
- I'm just asking a question.

Well, I'm comfortable accepting
the word of Sully and Yokas...

...over guys who murdered
innocent people in a restaurant.

There were only two shooters,
and four guys in that apartment.

So at least two of those guys
Weren't involved.

Well, they should get better friends.

In that bedroom,
three black men bleeding on the floor...

...all those white faces
standing over them.

Oh, come on, Doc. You're not gonna
get all black on us now, are you?

- I'm not black?
- Yeah, well, not Al Sharpton black.

Oh, come on.
Come on, you know what I mean.

MORALES: So are we still
going to my sister's wedding?

Yeah. Yeah, when is it?

It's still Thanksgiving Weekend, Doc.

- Did you put in for time off?
- No, not yet.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

Listen, if you don't want to go, you have to
tell me. I've gotta let my mother know.

Oh, come on, guys.

- Look at those kids, they're scared to death.
- What are you doing?

I'm just gonna make sure
everything's all right.

- Do you know the cops?
- Yeah, probably.

Excuse me. Excuse me,
is everything all right, officers?

Go away.

DOC: It's just the kids there,
they look a little scared.

Move on.

I'm just saying that the kids,
they look pretty scared.

COP 2: Move on.
MORALES: Doc, listen...

...if you don't know them,
I don't think this is such a good idea.

You know, why don't you just
let them know that everything's all right?

MORALES: Let's go. Come on.
- I'm just gonna talk to them.

- I don't think they want to talk.
- I'm just gonna talk.

- Do you have a driver's license, sir?
- Did I do something wrong?

- Do you have a license?
- Come on, let's go.

Yeah. But listen,
I just wanted to talk about the kids.

Get out of the car, sir.

- For what?
COP 1: Get out of the car.

- Look, I'm--
- Look, we didn't do anything wrong, okay?

You got enough problems
Without that mouthy bitch getting into it.

- Excuse me?
- What? Bitch?

- What did you call her?
MORALES: Doc. Doc.

OFFICER:
What is it now?

All right, hold it, listen. Now, listen--

HAYLEY [ON TV]: It has been another night
of mass arrests...

...here in uptown's 55th precinct...

...and police still seem to be no closer
to the man they are searching for.

As you can see behind me, there are
protests outside the precinct house...

...and they have swelled.

And there seems to be
growing support in this community...

...for the young man
who escaped police yesterday...

...during a gun battle
which left two police officers wounded.

The suspect, now identified as
Nathaniel Ryder, fled in a hail of gunfire.

I just passed her doing that report
and now I'm Watching her on TV.

- You're late.
- I was watching the show.

- They're holding two jobs for us.
- What happened to your glasses?

- They're holding jobs.
- All right.

- Can I change?
- Hurry up.

You guys got a big-screen TV up here.
I took the wrong test.

- You got foosball--
DOC: what the hell are you doing up here?

- Came to see if you were all right.
- Fine. Anything else?

Doc, it's not too smart
to get in the middle of an arrest.

That's the way you heard it.

They were arresting two guys,
you stop and get out--

- That's illegal now?
- No, it's just not smart.

You know-- Have you been paying attention
to what's going on out there?

We're cops,
We're coming down on bad guys.

You're coming down on black guys.

There were black people that got shot
too. We're trying to find who did that.

By all means,
let's beat every black guy in New York...

...until there's no more crime.

- You of all people should--
- Don't lecture me.

HAYLEY: They show no signs whatsoever
of cooling off. At this point--

You'd better leave that uniform on...

...because that's your
"leave this nigger alone" card.

--continued for days.

Mooted is his promise
to maintain pressure on the mayor...

- ...and the city council to:
DOC: Come on.

"Bring those responsible to justice."

- What happened?
- I don't wanna talk about it.

You interfered with an arrest?

They threw us on the ground
and handcuffed us.

- No, why? What did you do?
- I didn't do anything.

Prison's full of guys that say that.

You know, they had a couple of guys
against the car in front of their kids.

And I pulled over to tell them
the kids were afraid.

And you didn't know
that that was gonna get your ass slammed?

Come on, what world did you grow up in?

I know about all that, all right?
That's not the world I want to live in.

Tough, that's the one that we got.

So you think they were right?

No, I think they were consistent.

BOSCO:
Teach you to run from me.

- You don't run from me.
REGGIE: Ahh! Oh, my leg!

Goof got hit by a car running from Bosco.

- Another dangerous suspect.
FAITH: what?

Pretty big response.

BOSCO: Quit crying, you did this to yourself.
REGGIE: Come on.

Excuse me. Bosco, excuse me.

- Where are you hurt, sir?
- My leg. My leg, right here.

DOC: Yeah, looks like you got
a real broken ankle here.

I'll get the splints and call Telemetry.

You want to take the cuffs off?
He's not going anywhere on that ankle.

You want to uncuff him or what?

- No
REGGIE: Come on, man. Please.

Look, sir, we're gonna give you an IV, and
get you something for the pain, all right?

By all means, make the poor guy
as comfortable as possible.

We're okay here, okay? Why don't you just
move on to the next guy?

Come on, Bosco.

I'll be by the car when they're finished
making you feel real nice, Reggie.

All of a sudden I'm supposed to
cry a river for this junkie?

Son of a bitch.

FAITH: Doc!
CARLOS: whoa, whoa, whoa, Doc!

- Doc, get off him!
DOC: Come on!

- Doc, get off of him!
- Come on!

- What's your problem, man?
- Why don't you pick on this monkey, okay?

- I'm not seventeen and afraid.
- Monkey?

Yeah, monkey,
I heard you call him a monkey.

- Doc, he said "junkie."
- What?

He never called him a monkey.

You got issues, man.

CARLOS:
So here's my yesterday.

Biology test, right? I read the directions,
the first sentence says:

"Read the following directions,
then don't answer the following questions."

I'm like,
this teacher screws up the very first test...

...so, of course,
I've gotta tell her I caught her mistake.

You know, I think that's a flaw that I have,
you know, this need to be right.

So, anyway, I raise my hand,
she ignores me.

I raise it again, she goes, "No questions."
She looks right at me and she says:

"No questions." But this time she's, like,
pissed when she says it.

So finally I go, "But the directions say
not to answer the test questions."

She closes her book,
asks for the tests back.

You know, apparently that was the test...

...to see who would actually
read and follow the directions.

Worst part is, I look around,
everyone else had been doing the test.

I was the only one in the whole class
that would have been right.

In the space of 60 seconds
I went from top of the class to the bottom.

That's why I say I think it's a flaw.

It cost me, you know?

So, anyway, that was my yesterday.

Come on,
at least today couldn't get any worse.

Today I gotta apologize to Boscorelli.

[CROWD CHANTING AND CHATTERING]

BOBBY: I love watching civil disobedience.
KIM: Yeah, it's kind of scary.

BOBBY: It's the only way anything's
been done in this country.

CARLOS:
They're pissed.

I can't believe they're out here
supporting a guy who shot the police.

You would too if a bunch of guys
carrying assault rifles...

- ...knocked on your front door.
KIM: Yeah, but I'm not a fugitive.

Excuse me. Are you Doc?

Are you Doc?

DOC:
Yeah. Yeah. Let her in.

Can you please help me?

- What do you need?
- My boyfriend is hurt.

- Well, did you call 911?
- He wants it to be you.

- Why me?
- He says he knows you.

Who is he?

Look, he's hurt really bad.
Can you just come?

- Where?
- I can show you.

No, no. I need an address.

190781st.

Carlos.

CARLOS: Yeah?
- Call us in.

We're going to an unknown medical
at 190781st. Come on.

CARLOS:
553 to Central....

DOC:
Put you in the back, you can ride with us.

This is his apartment, right?

CARLOS: whose?
DOC: Police do that?

Doc, what the hell's going on?

I didn't shoot no one in no restaurant.

Please, you gotta help me.

I wasn't at no restaurant.

Look, man,
you were straight with me before.

You tried to help me. I thought....

- Look, I think I need--
CARLOS: I'm calling PD.

- Wait, wait.
- Are you kidding me?

- He needs help.
- He needs prison time.

You don't want to be here,
you don't have to.

- You didn't give me an option.
FELICIA: He gonna be okay?

- Is he gonna be okay?
PUPPET: Yeah, baby.

I'm calling the police. Adam 553--

Hold on, wait.
Just give me a few minutes. Just hold on.

- For what?
DISPATCHER: Go ahead, Adam.

You call that in,
he'll never make it out of this building.

Come on, you said it yourself.
They're consistent.

Go ahead, Adam 553.

Central, give me a minute.
I'll get back to you.

DOC:
Watch out.

I'm gonna put some pressure dressing on,
okay?

But that's only temporary.
I'm gonna have to get you to a hospital.

If he goes to a hospital,
they have to tell the police.

If he doesn't,
then he's gonna bleed to death.

- I'm not going to no hospital, man.
- You wanted me up here, you do it my way.

This is gonna hurt.

DOC:
Hayley Friend, please.

This is Monte Parker,
the paramedic from yesterday.

You want a story, you meet me
at the Mercy Hospital entrance, now.

FELICIA:
How you doing, baby?

PUPPET:
I'm all right.

Hang in there, all right?
Puppet, you hang in there.

PUPPET:
I'm all right. I'm all right. I'm all right.

[PHONE RINGS]

Doctor Morales.

I'm five minutes out.
I'm coming in with a GSW.

Hey, why aren't you calling Telemetry?

It's the kid that the police are looking for
from that shootout yesterday.

- He's in custody?
- He's got a gunshot to the leg.

I stabilized him best I could,
but he's bleeding.

- Are the police with you?
- No.

You're by yourself?

I've got a wounded man
and I'm asking you for your help.

Is he armed?

I don't know. He's gonna be unconscious
in a matter of minutes.

Doc, you gotta call the police.

First we'll stabilize him. Sara...

...please.

Thank you.

- It's gonna be all right?
- Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.

You know you're doing right, right?

Yeah. Just hang in, Puppet, all right?
Just hang in.

Yeah. You know you're doing right.

FELICIA:
Thank you.

If there's any squad cars
out front of the hospital...

- ...We'll take him around the side.
CARLOS: Never a dull moment.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Doc, you'd better get up here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

COP: Out of the car.
SULLY: Out of the truck, Nieto.

BOSCO: Open the bus. Open the damn bus.
Get out of the bus!

- You told me no cops!
BOSCO: Open this damn door!

PUPPET: I didn't do it.
- No, no, no!

FELICIA: Puppet, no. No, no.
COP: Get the gun. Get that gun.

- Get this.
FELICIA: He didn't do anything.

COP: Look out.
BOSCO: I'll blow your head off.

- You pull a gun on me?
DOC: His wounds!

SULLY: I got it. I got it.
COP: Man, back up.

- Be careful.
BOSCO: what are you gonna do now, huh?

- Back off!
- This is all going on camera.

Let me have him. Listen to me,
this is all going on camera.

- We're going with him.
HAYLEY: It is pure chaos at this crime site.

We have got police, rescue personnel. He
is being taken into the hospital right now.

This is the paramedic who turned
the suspect over to police moments ago.

What can you tell us?
What can you tell us?

Obviously, he's too shaken up to talk.

A dramatic moment at Mercy Hospital
Where Nathaniel Ryder...

...has been turned over to police
in a dramatic moment.

He's been a fugitive on the run
since yesterday's gun battle with the police.

This is the paramedic who turned
the suspect over to police moments ago.

What can you tell us?

What can you tell us?
Obviously too shaken up to talk.

A dramatic moment
here at Mercy Hospital--

DOC: You called the cops.
- Damn right.

- You know, I trusted you.
- What the hell is your problem?

- I had it under control.
- Oh, yeah?

Just like the other night out in the street?

You jeopardized everybody
in this hospital.

These people are my responsibility.
That kid had a gun.

And I called the reporters
because I wanted witnesses.

Oh, wow, even better.
Bring more people into it.

- My God, you are so arrogant.
- Arrogant?

You are a damn paramedic, Doc, that's it.

You're not a doctor,
not a cop and not these people's savior.

And you don't know these people,
and you don't know this neighborhood!

I grew up in a neighborhood like this.
Only I was poor, okay?

I know it better than you ever will
because I know it from the inside.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I used to know.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm sorry, Doc.

I'm sorry. You scared me, baby.

REPORTER [ON TELEVISION]: Police are
being praised for the outstanding effort--

- If you got something to say, say it.
- I'm getting used to you.

KIM: You're on the news.
- We are?

- They're making you out to be a hero.
- Yeah, no kidding.

I bet the cops don't see it that way.

I was getting that kid medical attention.

CARLOS: Here it is.
- Yeah, well, that kid shot cops.

- They shot him.
- It's not an even-steven game.

DOC:
Kim, you were there.

You know they went in shooting first
and asked questions later.

Yeah, I was there.
Outside, where you were.

Look, Doc, I'm the first person to say the
cops need to be pushed back now and then.

But we need to
Work with them every day.

And like it or not, we need them.

- I kept that girl's badge.
CARLOS: what?

DOC: Tanya.
It came off While I was doing CPR.

I kept it.

- Why?
- I don't know.

I don't know. "How may I help you?"

It seems like being just a paramedic
doesn't really make a difference.

Yeah, well, call me nuts...

...but it seems like saving
someone's life is difference enough.

Not that anyone's gonna notice.

I don't get it.
I was the guy that worked on the teacher...

...reporter's not interested.

I was the one that drove the suspect to the
police, but she doesn't even mention me.

I worked my ass off. Does she even care?

What does a guy have to do
to get noticed around here?

- Hey, sellout nigger. Yeah, I know you.
MAN 1: You sell some brothers out?

You that sellout nigger
that turned our brother over to the police.

- I seen you on television.
MAN 1: Look at this punk.

Looking for more brothers to pass off?

MAN 1: Roll up in here....
- What you get paid for that, huh?

- How much are brothers going for?
- Get to the bus.

- 1013, Adam 553. 1013, request PD help.
MAN 1: Get your ass out of here.

MAN 2: Damn sellout.
HARD BROTHER: Yeah, that's right, bitch.

- You'd better bounce your ass on out of here.
CARLOS: Doc.

MAN 3:
Okay.

CARLOS:
Doc. Come on, come on.

- You okay?
DOC: Yeah.

CARLOS:
You all right?

[CHATTERING]

MAN 3:
I'll destroy you.

Damn, I dropped the keys out there.

Adam 553 to Central.

We need immediate assistance
at this location.

MAN 2:
Come on, right there. Son of a bitch!

[SIRENS WAILING]

COP:
Hey, get off there, right now.

You're okay. You're okay, man.

ADAMS:
Excuse me.

I'm Tanya Adams' mother.
You saved her life.

- The emergency-room people did most of it.
- You got her there.

It's a cake.

It's just a chocolate cake.
I didn't know what to make.

- No, you didn't have to make anything.
- She comes home in a few days.

I can never--
There's nothing I could ever do or say....

Thank you.

It's just chocolate.

I like chocolate.

JOHN F. KENNEDY: A great change
is at hand. And our task, our obligation...

...is to make that revolution,
that change...

...peaceful and constructive for all.

Those who do nothing
are inviting shame as well as violence.

Those who act boldly
are recognizing right as well as reality.
