Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 2, Episode 7 - After Hours - full transcript
NARRATOR:
Previously on Third Watch:
You gotta quit this job!
- Amputate the damn leg.
- You can't just cut off her leg.
Being just a paramedic
doesn't really make a difference.
Saving someone's
life is difference enough.
Come on, come on!
Get him up! Get him up! Get him up!
- Come on, go!
- What's our job?
- Enforcing the law.
- No. We're solving problems.
JIMMY:
I love my job. I love being a fireman.
I'm a good fireman.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Man.
- Hey, you okay?
- Come on, it was their own fault.
- Bos.
BOSCO: It was.
What? Am I supposed to cry over that?
Hey, Faith. It was their fault.
It was their fault.
- Anyone else feel like getting hammered?
- Yeah. I could go for a pop.
No, I just want to go home
and stare at my kids...
- ...and pray they never get any older.
- Well, they're going to.
I guess it's just me and you.
- I thought you went home.
- Oh, I'm giving Kim a ride.
- She's still changing.
- Women.
Doc, you want to go out,
get a couple of drinks?
- No, thanks.
- I'll go.
- You never go out.
- I don't drink.
BOBBY:
You don't have to drink.
DOC: Count me out, okay?
- Out of what?
- Just telling him we should go out.
- I can use a drink. How about you, Jimmy?
- Yeah, I guess so.
BOBBY: Cool.
Here's the plan.
We go to Haggerty's...
...close that place down.
We head out to Coney Island,
build a bonfire...
- ...Watch the sun come up.
- That's the plan?
Let me get changed.
BOBBY:
What?
Let me get changed. I'm going too.
All right.
Tell Kim to hurry up.
CARLOS:
Kim.
Bobby says hurry up.
We're all gonna go out.
Yeah. I'm ready.
- What were you just looking at?
- Nothing.
Let's go have some fun.
This is all of it?
That's it.
Does it have to be typed?
No.
Good.
Who do I turn it over to
When I'm finished with it?
Sully.
I just give it back to you?
You're not really gonna quit.
Do I give it to you?
Yeah. Bring it back to me.
OFFICER:
See you, Faith.
- What do you got? Car trouble?
- What?
Well, it's usually easier
to drive from the inside.
No, car's fine.
What's that?
I ran into this guy I went to
high school with the other day.
- He's selling real estate.
- Yeah?
He drives a nice car.
The worst day he has
he's only got 300 in his pocket.
It's not a bad second job.
Not a bad first job.
You want to get some coffee?
Yeah. Everybody's asleep
at my place anyway.
- Good. Come on. I'll drive.
- Okay.
Sully? We're gonna get some coffee.
Have fun.
Hey, why don't you come with us?
Come on. It's gotta be better
than sitting home alone.
Why not?
Oh, hot stuff.
And a little bit of this.
[WHISTLES]
- Boilermakers?
- Mm-hm.
It's gonna be a short night.
Keep them coming.
You got any beef jerky, bro?
KIM:
Yes. Yeah, I will.
Thanks, Mom.
- Is she pissed?
- She's been worse.
- I don't feel like drinking.
- Yeah.
- This place sucks.
BOSCO: You want to go?
What? You want to go? Let's go.
- What? My quarters are up.
- You've been playing all night.
- Time for somebody else.
- You had better back down.
[CHATTERING]
You don't need to fight.
BOSCO: I'll rip his head off!
- Bosco!
- No one wants to fight.
- I want to.
We're here to have fun. Get out!
- Take a walk, little man.
- What am I doing?
Come on. Go. Just go cool off.
Can't we all just get along?
Anybody else feel like getting out?
- I'm ready.
- I do.
KIM: How about you, Alex?
- I'm still on the first part of the plan.
Yes. I'm gonna need another
one of these, please.
And he's way into it.
All right. See you.
Yeah.
- Can I have another one?
CARLOS: See you.
I should've cracked that guy.
- You don't think I could have taken him?
- You could have taken him, man.
See you later.
- Kim, how're you getting home?
KIM: Subway.
You need a ride?
- Really?
- Yeah. why not?
I don't live too far from here.
Yeah. I got room for four.
SULLY:
Oh, you guys were right.
This is much more fun
than sitting home alone.
Commission is 5 percent.
That's 25,000 on a $500,000 condo.
- Nice.
- That's half a year's salary.
- You thinking about selling condos?
- How can you make that much...
- ...pushing real estate and we barely get by?
- It's national priorities.
Like school. Some janitors
make more than teachers.
- Exactly.
- Damn.
- Ridiculous.
- Excuse me.
Sorry to bother you. But do you know
anything about the buses here?
I've been waiting for an hour.
Three blocks over on Sixth.
They run all night long.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
A little late for a girl
to be taking the bus.
Great.
- I'm careful.
- Good idea. Both eyes open.
- Isn't there anybody you can call?
- I had a fight with my boyfriend.
- What'd he do? Put you out of the car?
- More like I put myself out.
- What about your parents?
- I'll be fine.
- Where do you live?
- Near the park.
Why don't you sit with us?
And when we finish,
We'll bring you home.
[GROANS]
You can ignore Mr. Rooty-bahooty.
It's okay, really. Sit down.
We're both cops...
- ...and he's a paramedic.
- Okay. Thank you.
That'd be great.
Okay. Well.
It's like a damn morgue in here.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
- Damn, Bosco!
- Better than listening to nothing.
You don't have speakers
behind your ears!
- With your head, echo must be deafening.
- Bosco, please. I have a headache.
Sorry.
[TURNS VOLUME DOWN]
- Hey, this is a righteous ride, man.
- Righteous?
CARLOS: what year is it?
- The car?
My Camaro used to beat
the hell out of this.
- You're such crap.
- This car is crap.
- Bite me.
- Like that.
Okay. Can one of you
just try and act like an adult, okay?
Just pretend for a few minutes.
It's all about the car.
It takes more than a hot car.
I had a boyfriend in high school.
He had a Mustang. Chaz.
- Chaz?
- Chaz?
I think his name was Charles.
And they called him Chaz for short.
- Why not call him Chuck?
- Or call him Charlie?
I don't know. His car was the
reason I went out with him though.
I went to my last
homecoming in that thing.
Um, I gotta pee.
- You can't wait until you get home?
- No.
You know what? I could use
a restroom myself.
BOSCO:
I don't believe you two.
I'm driving around with 6-year-olds.
Yum, yum, yum.
- Let me get another one.
- Didn't know you drank like that.
I don't.
You look like a pro to me.
[BURPS]
Give me some of those
pickled eggs, my good man.
- Yeah. And a diet soda.
- Is he gonna be okay?
Yeah. I'll make sure he gets home okay.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Nothing, nothing.
- What? Come on.
Do you always mother everybody?
- Mother?
- Yeah.
My brother does the same thing.
I don't mother people.
Hey, it's just an observation.
It's not a criticism.
So where were you? At a dance?
Homecoming.
After four of them, they get boring.
So, what? Are you graduating?
I'm a senior.
- So are you gonna go to college?
- I got accepted to Columbia.
- But I--
- What? You're not gonna go?
Oh, it's a long story.
That's 65 runs a week times 50 weeks.
We got two weeks' vacation. That's...
...3250 runs a year.
That's a really, really good school.
The way I figure it, we get
about $13.85 cents a run.
What?
At $45,000 a year,
that's what it comes to.
- That's depressing.
- That's very depressing.
And you guys go on
even more runs. So you get less.
All right. You know,
it's not that I don't enjoy learning...
...I make less than a bleacher seat...
...every time I risk my life
but I'm gonna take a cab to my car.
- Would you excuse me?
- Sully, sit down, okay?
I'll take you back as soon
as we get her home.
- I'm ready.
- Great.
- So you liked that guy's car, huh?
- Hm?
- What was it? Chaz?
- Oh, yeah.
Chaz.
What year was his Mustang?
I don't know.
Looked kind of like this, though.
Really?
Mm-hm.
I liked that car a lot.
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
BOSCO:
Mm-hm.
JIMMY:
Why don't you get married?
CARLOS:
I don't see me doing that.
No.
I'm happy where I am,
you know, playing the field...
...staying available
for whatever happens.
I mean, what if you get married...
...and something better
comes along? Then what?
Right? Nothing but a hassle then.
I mean, what are you gonna do if
you find something you like better after?
An affair? That just seems
like a lot of Work to me.
Didn't anyone ever teach you
the no talking in the urinals rule?
There's graffiti so you have something
to read while you keep your mouth shut.
- Your mom doesn't mind you being out late?
- I'm 18.
- I don't think I'll ever get used to that.
SHANNON: You have kids?
Yeah, 8 and 11.
And my daughter, the 11 -year-old,
she's too independent for me already.
It's what we do.
Yeah, it happens too fast, though.
Mm-hm.
I really appreciate the ride. Thank you.
Don't mention it. Which side of the park?
Actually, leave me on Central Park West.
I want to walk across.
- Through the park?
SHANNON: I do it all the time.
- Peaceful.
- Till someone sticks a gun in your face.
- Can't go through life afraid.
- Can't go through it dead either.
True.
TEENAGER 1: Oh, yeah!
TEENAGER 2: All right! I'll drink to that!
We are the best.
JIMMY: I haven't been bowling in years.
- No wonder there were no girls in the bar.
- I used to be on two teams.
- There's some fine women here.
They're kids.
They can't be too young. It's 2:00 in the
morning and they're still out. Damn! Wow.
If these are high school girls, where the
hell were they when I was in school?
This makes me think about tonight.
The accident? Why?
It didn't happen in a bowling alley.
No wonder you have
trouble with women.
What? Hey, who says
I have trouble with women?
- Shut up, okay?
- What?
- There comes a time when you talk--
- Excuse me. You guys gonna go bowl?
- What?
- There's only one lane left next to us.
If you guys don't bowl,
We're gonna be stuck...
...With the losers
as our bowling partners.
I do good with the ladies.
- We got a couple of others with us.
- Go get them.
I admit I'm no Casanova.
Why do you say that? That....
You know what?
- I think I will. Couple of games sounds good.
- Cool.
Size 14 shoes. I'm gonna
go get Kim and the moron.
Size 14?
KIM:
Ow! This thing's digging into me!
Oh, my. Oh, my God! Jimmy!
- Did you just call me Jimmy?
- No! He's coming!
God, get off me.
[GRUNTING]
Oh, Kim.
Get my shirt. Move, Bosco!
Hey.
We'll bowl a couple games
if you aren't busy.
Oh, no. We're just sitting here talking.
Uh-huh.
You have no problem
coming in, bowling?
- No, sounds great.
- It does?
Yeah. Come on.
Don't get too high on yourself.
It isn't about you.
Kiss my ass.
TY:
Oh, yeah.
How long you think he can go?
I don't know. He's a big guy.
ALEX:
Sooner or later they all fall.
I can hear you.
What do you think?
I drank so enough...
...I'm blind?
It's all right, man.
- What did you say?
- I'm sorry.
Yeah? Well....
ALEX: You know, he can drink all night.
But he isn't gonna forget.
In the morning he's gonna have all the same
memories and a hangover to go with it.
Where're you going? Barf?
Where you going, Bobbaloo?
Where you going?
- Just stay. Stay.
- Bobby. Bobby
How're you doing, man?
You know, I got a lot of
respect for old guys like you.
I'm not one of these guys
comes up and has no respect.
Because old guys, you know...
...you know a lot more...
...because...
...you've seen a lot more. You know?
Am I right? Am I right? I'm right, right?
You're standing on my foot.
When's the last time they stocked this?
What difference does it make
to you how he processes things?
It doesn't.
- They have more Sinatra in here--
- So why say anything?
I'm sorry.
I should know better than to get
between a mother and her cub.
Oh, a comedian.
Oh, this is better.
So....
- So, what? I'm supposed to just--
- I like this song.
I'm supposed to just let him
drink and get wasted...
- Like this song.
- ...that'd be cool?
- Just up and leave him here?
- Do you dance?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- What?
- Do you dance?
No.
Bobby.
What's shaking?
I think I pissed that old guy off.
He'll survive.
TY:
You're right.
You are right.
You two were cute together.
- Have some more jerky.
- Yeah.
How did this happen?
It really is peaceful.
All I wanted to do was to go
home and have a beer...
- ...and catch some SportsCenter.
- You didn't have to come.
What am I supposed to do? Wait in the car
While you and Doc play Follow The Fetus?
College is very important.
It gives you options
you might want later on.
You sound like my dad.
Yeah, well, you don't want
to be stuck in a job...
...Where they don't pay you
What you're worth.
I just want a job where I'm happy.
Money helps too.
As long it's never the only thing.
Come on, catch up.
Oh, great.
Now I'm supposed to jog.
Ooh. Oh.
Don't you just love this park?
- I....
- This park?
- Yeah.
- You know, 1981 ...
...right back down there...
...a guy was beaten to death with a
Wrench in front of 50 Witnesses.
Broad daylight. Nobody saw a thing.
- You see that spot right there?
- What? The tree?
I had my first kiss underneath it.
Johnny Vascy.
It was awesome.
My first kiss,
the girl sneezed in my mouth.
Seriously?
[LAUGHING]
Look at that. I used to bring the
kids here twice a week.
We used to come every day.
Let's go check it out.
- No, no, no.
SHANNON: Yeah.
- We're closing up.
- No. what about last call?
- You already had two.
- How about a really, really last call then?
Let's go. Come on.
I cannot believe this.
I can't believe how you're treating me.
How long have I been coming here
to this establishment?
I've never seen you before in my life.
That's no reason for you to
treat me like a first-class citizen.
- I know--
BOBBY: You know what?
- I'll take care of it.
- I'm a cop!
- Yes, you are.
- That's $112.
- What?
- He bought rounds for the house.
- Next round on me.
- Shut up!
You let a guy this drunk buy rounds?
I'm not the man's conscience. I pour.
- It's $112.
- All right. Fine.
See what happens
When you process in public?
There's always someone waiting
to take advantage.
- Take this.
- Okay.
You're a nice guy, Bobby.
DOC:
There we go.
We broke into a merry-go-round.
This night keeps getting
better and better.
- It's a cheap lock.
SULLY: Missed the part of the law...
...Where it says burglaries are
graded on the price of the lock.
Oh, well, come on.
We're not hurting anything.
Hold on. All right. Here it is.
Hold on.
[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah.
Yeah.
[DOC WHOOPS]
Come on! Get on!
Whoa!
SHANNON:
Hey.
Better and better.
- Sully, come on!
- Yeah. What's your problem?
Come on, get on.
I'm allergic to horses.
Whoo!
Everybody come off of the toy. And keep
your hands where we can see them.
This is just perfect.
We can't pretend
last night didn't happen.
It's not healthy to keep things inside.
What you do is healthier?
Taking care of everybody else
so you don't have to deal with it yourself?
People like you,
soon as something lousy happens...
...you're like cheerleaders
telling everyone it'll all be okay.
I'm not a cheerleader.
Let's just forget it, huh?
I go to church.
- Good for you.
- I go to church on my way to work.
I light a candle for anyone
Who dies on my watch.
- Oh. That makes it better.
- Come on, Taylor!
Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm gonna be sick.
- What?
TY: Yeah.
[PUKING]
No, get out of my car, man!
COP: You're from the 5-5?
- Yeah. We were just being ridiculous.
- Uh-huh.
- They needed to blow off some steam.
But not you?
- I look like the merry-go-round type to you?
- Look, I only got one request.
Don't do anything that
disturbs me again, all right?
I came on midnights because it's quiet.
There are plenty of toys in this city
that aren't on my beat. Explore them.
- Right.
- Absolutely.
Oh, watch out. Watch out.
Ohh. Bam!
Watch out. Hey!
Anyone paying attention?
I bowled four strikes in a row.
CHELSEA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BOSCO: Hey, man. I saw you.
- Kimmy, you're up.
- Go ahead. I'll watch.
- What?
- I'll watch.
- Let's see what you got.
GARY: All right.
Four in a row.
- Your boyfriend is cute.
- He's my ex-husband.
- Oh, sorry.
- It's okay. It doesn't matter.
Me and Gary are celebrating
our four month anniversary.
- That's nice.
- Yes. Yes.
We're gonna be together forever.
Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Check out Don Juan. Look at him.
God, that kid has problems.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Look at him. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Look at that. Oh!
Yeah!
What's wrong with you?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
- She hit me, man.
JIMMY: She hit you?
CARLOS: Sorry.
- What did you say?
- Nothing. Nothing.
JIMMY: You didn't say anything?
Oh, Nieto.
Hey, man.
You see that girl sitting behind Lane 38?
Yeah.
Well, she's chaperoning
her younger sister's group.
And she's recently single.
And she would love to meet somebody.
Yeah. How do you know that?
Trust me.
BOBBY:
That's disgusting.
[TY GRUNTS]
- Hold on.
- Let go. Let go.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let go.
I feel bad because he's my friend.
I just ruined his car.
- He'll get over it.
BOBBY: You should feel bad.
- Okay.
- Okay.
BOBBY:
Three years...
...paying for this damn thing.
You saw them, right?
Who?
- You saw the kids in that car.
- Yeah. I saw them.
They were all burnt up.
- Couldn't tell they were people.
- I don't want to talk.
I couldn't do anything about it.
Stop it!
Just stop talking about it. Okay?
It's not gonna do
anybody any damn good.
Maybe it's doing him good.
- Who are you?
- You need some help?
- No!
- Speak for yourself.
I'm the one holding up the sheriff.
BOBBY: Disgusting.
- I'm not a sheriff.
I'm all right. I'm good. Let go. Let go.
Who are you?
- My name's Darren.
BOBBY: What's this?
What is this? Is this egg?
- That's a good name.
- I guess.
My name's Ty.
This is Al.
This is Al the firewoman.
Let go. Let go.
ALEX: Okay.
- Darren, seriously.
[CHUCKLES]
Let go.
All right. I'm just gonna....
Score!
There you go.
- I want to give you something.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Something a girl
like you should wear.
Wow, it's beautiful.
Where'd you get it?
I just think you should have it.
- Yeah?
- Perfect.
Thank you.
- Think you could show me how again?
- Sure.
- They're so cute.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
- And it's a goner.
You were hooking up with Boscorelli.
We weren't hooking up.
What?
You jumped me
When we had the worst nights.
That's not true.
Look, I care about you.
I just don't want to see anyone
take advantage of you.
- We were talking.
- Then he needs to...
...get his suspension looked at.
[ENGINE REVS AND TIRES SCREECH]
- Do you know her well?
- What?
Just wondering
if she always looks that sad.
Pile him in.
How's it smelling?
It smells nice!
Smells nice in here.
Hey, thanks for the help.
No problem.
Want a ride someplace?
I'm not going that far.
That's okay.
I mother people.
Let's go.
Hey, you wanna get in on this side?
YOKAS:
That was great.
Yeah, maybe next time
We can actually get shot.
Are we the same age?
You know the problem with
being a mom and a cop is...
...you know too much because
you've seen too much. You know?
Every day you realize life's crappier...
...than most people
are ever gonna know about.
Sometimes it's like I envy other parents.
You know, like, regular parents.
Because they don't have a clue.
Yeah. It must be rough.
Yeah. It makes you want
to lock the door...
...and keep your kids inside forever.
Can't do that.
No, I can't.
It doesn't make sense that
We get paid as little as we do.
- Are you still on that?
- Well, you know, it's not right.
MAN:
Let's go! Hand it over!
- Now! Come on!
WOMAN: Don't hurt him! Please!
MAN: Give me the money!
WOMAN: No, please.
YOKAS: Hey!
SULLY: Hey, come here!
Come here!
You, come here!
You okay?
Hey, let me look at him, okay?
Let me look at him.
Sir?
Sir, can you hear me?
Sir.
PARAMEDIC 1:
All right. Let's get it out.
Doc?
Yeah. We got a isolated head trauma.
Guy was hit in the head with a rock.
PARAMEDIC 2:
Yeah. We got it.
We weren't bothering anybody.
We were just....
Hey, is he gonna be all right?
- Yeah. We're doing everything we can.
- Son of a bitch got away.
We never got close enough
for a good look.
- You see why I hate this park?
- I'm gonna go to the hospital.
Me too. We can notify police
from the hospital.
- Sully, take care of my car?
- I got it.
I'll meet you back at the
precinct in an hour or so.
SULLY: Okay.
DOC: Here you go. Here you go.
Lift.
Place it in.
Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
SULLY: Is this it?
SHANNON: Mm-hm.
- Have I ever been here before?
- I don't know.
Have you lived here a long time?
Not really.
I just thought you might remember
some tragedy the police responded to.
Maybe it wasn't a tragedy.
I doubt it.
Is everything you remember bad?
- What?
- All the stuff...
...that happened in the park,
even your first kiss, it's all bad.
You have happy memories?
Yeah, sure.
Some.
Some?
Thank you for taking care of me.
You're welcome.
Officer Sullivan?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
How--?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
What are you doing here?
Uh....
Just dropping a girl off
Who lives in that building.
I'm just getting in from Work.
They got me on graveyards.
I stopped by the precinct,
they said you weren't around.
I'm usually on the street.
I was looking for you to tell you
how much better we're doing.
Here. You come across anybody else
in crisis, tell them to give me a call.
I'm a peer counselor now.
- "Frank Matthews."
- Yeah.
Anyways, like I said, I wanted to let
you know I was doing all right.
We have a kid now. Frank Junior.
- No kidding?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I'm real lucky. I'm blessed.
I just--
Thank you.
- You bet.
- Really, it was great seeing you.
Sure. Likewise. Good night.
Good night.
You were gonna kill yourself.
- Sorry. What's that?
- Nothing. I was just....
I was just saying good night.
- Good night. Thanks again.
- Yeah.
That's--
That's....
It's just over two blocks.
- What? East?
DARREN: Yeah.
- That's gonna take us where it happened.
- We're not going past there, are we?
- Yeah.
- Oh, man.
There was a bad accident tonight.
Some kids died.
We got there as fast as we could.
But not fast enough.
BOBBY:
That's Bosco's car.
Bos?
What are you doing?
Leave me the hell alone.
What are you doing here?
- I'm serious, Bobby. Leave me the hell alone.
BOBBY: Bos.
I think this is where it happened.
You can barely tell
there was an accident.
Cleaned up fast.
- It must have been terrible.
- Who the hell are you?
My name is Darren.
You know what, Darren? It was terrible.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I stood right there and I watched
four kids just like you burn to death.
Wasn't a thing I could do.
- I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter.
This isn't why I wanted to be a cop.
This isn't why I put the uniform on.
This is sad. And it's stupid!
God, I hate this!
There's nothing I can do about it.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Sunrise, remember?
The beach.
Coney Island, okay?
Heading for the beach.
Two-forty.
I've never bowled a 240 in my life.
- You gonna call her?
- She's got a kid.
What's wrong with that?
- It's like having an instant family.
- Yeah.
I hope there aren't too many guys
out there with that attitude.
- I'm gonna call her.
- Good.
Yeah, she was pretty hot, huh?
- That's pretty good. I almost had you.
- What? You bowled a 78.
You guys, I don't feel like
going home yet.
Why don't we go out to Coney Island?
- What?
- Bobby said they were gonna go out there.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
All right.
Hey, what the hell are you guys
doing out here?
Went bowling.
- What are you doing in Doc's car?
- Uh....
It's a long story.
Look, I'm going back over to the house.
Any of you want a ride?
I think We're gonna go to Coney Island,
Watch the sun come up.
- Oh.
- Want to come?
Okay.
He's gonna meet us down there.
What we need is some wood.
I've never come here.
I used to come here
all the time in high school.
The sand wasn't so high though.
You used to be able to walk
under this boardwalk.
Alex...
...We all got there as fast as we could.
Sometimes things are just meant to be.
Those kids weren't supposed to die.
That's not what I meant.
[CHUCKLES]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Previously on Third Watch:
You gotta quit this job!
- Amputate the damn leg.
- You can't just cut off her leg.
Being just a paramedic
doesn't really make a difference.
Saving someone's
life is difference enough.
Come on, come on!
Get him up! Get him up! Get him up!
- Come on, go!
- What's our job?
- Enforcing the law.
- No. We're solving problems.
JIMMY:
I love my job. I love being a fireman.
I'm a good fireman.
[SIRENS WAILING]
Man.
- Hey, you okay?
- Come on, it was their own fault.
- Bos.
BOSCO: It was.
What? Am I supposed to cry over that?
Hey, Faith. It was their fault.
It was their fault.
- Anyone else feel like getting hammered?
- Yeah. I could go for a pop.
No, I just want to go home
and stare at my kids...
- ...and pray they never get any older.
- Well, they're going to.
I guess it's just me and you.
- I thought you went home.
- Oh, I'm giving Kim a ride.
- She's still changing.
- Women.
Doc, you want to go out,
get a couple of drinks?
- No, thanks.
- I'll go.
- You never go out.
- I don't drink.
BOBBY:
You don't have to drink.
DOC: Count me out, okay?
- Out of what?
- Just telling him we should go out.
- I can use a drink. How about you, Jimmy?
- Yeah, I guess so.
BOBBY: Cool.
Here's the plan.
We go to Haggerty's...
...close that place down.
We head out to Coney Island,
build a bonfire...
- ...Watch the sun come up.
- That's the plan?
Let me get changed.
BOBBY:
What?
Let me get changed. I'm going too.
All right.
Tell Kim to hurry up.
CARLOS:
Kim.
Bobby says hurry up.
We're all gonna go out.
Yeah. I'm ready.
- What were you just looking at?
- Nothing.
Let's go have some fun.
This is all of it?
That's it.
Does it have to be typed?
No.
Good.
Who do I turn it over to
When I'm finished with it?
Sully.
I just give it back to you?
You're not really gonna quit.
Do I give it to you?
Yeah. Bring it back to me.
OFFICER:
See you, Faith.
- What do you got? Car trouble?
- What?
Well, it's usually easier
to drive from the inside.
No, car's fine.
What's that?
I ran into this guy I went to
high school with the other day.
- He's selling real estate.
- Yeah?
He drives a nice car.
The worst day he has
he's only got 300 in his pocket.
It's not a bad second job.
Not a bad first job.
You want to get some coffee?
Yeah. Everybody's asleep
at my place anyway.
- Good. Come on. I'll drive.
- Okay.
Sully? We're gonna get some coffee.
Have fun.
Hey, why don't you come with us?
Come on. It's gotta be better
than sitting home alone.
Why not?
Oh, hot stuff.
And a little bit of this.
[WHISTLES]
- Boilermakers?
- Mm-hm.
It's gonna be a short night.
Keep them coming.
You got any beef jerky, bro?
KIM:
Yes. Yeah, I will.
Thanks, Mom.
- Is she pissed?
- She's been worse.
- I don't feel like drinking.
- Yeah.
- This place sucks.
BOSCO: You want to go?
What? You want to go? Let's go.
- What? My quarters are up.
- You've been playing all night.
- Time for somebody else.
- You had better back down.
[CHATTERING]
You don't need to fight.
BOSCO: I'll rip his head off!
- Bosco!
- No one wants to fight.
- I want to.
We're here to have fun. Get out!
- Take a walk, little man.
- What am I doing?
Come on. Go. Just go cool off.
Can't we all just get along?
Anybody else feel like getting out?
- I'm ready.
- I do.
KIM: How about you, Alex?
- I'm still on the first part of the plan.
Yes. I'm gonna need another
one of these, please.
And he's way into it.
All right. See you.
Yeah.
- Can I have another one?
CARLOS: See you.
I should've cracked that guy.
- You don't think I could have taken him?
- You could have taken him, man.
See you later.
- Kim, how're you getting home?
KIM: Subway.
You need a ride?
- Really?
- Yeah. why not?
I don't live too far from here.
Yeah. I got room for four.
SULLY:
Oh, you guys were right.
This is much more fun
than sitting home alone.
Commission is 5 percent.
That's 25,000 on a $500,000 condo.
- Nice.
- That's half a year's salary.
- You thinking about selling condos?
- How can you make that much...
- ...pushing real estate and we barely get by?
- It's national priorities.
Like school. Some janitors
make more than teachers.
- Exactly.
- Damn.
- Ridiculous.
- Excuse me.
Sorry to bother you. But do you know
anything about the buses here?
I've been waiting for an hour.
Three blocks over on Sixth.
They run all night long.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
A little late for a girl
to be taking the bus.
Great.
- I'm careful.
- Good idea. Both eyes open.
- Isn't there anybody you can call?
- I had a fight with my boyfriend.
- What'd he do? Put you out of the car?
- More like I put myself out.
- What about your parents?
- I'll be fine.
- Where do you live?
- Near the park.
Why don't you sit with us?
And when we finish,
We'll bring you home.
[GROANS]
You can ignore Mr. Rooty-bahooty.
It's okay, really. Sit down.
We're both cops...
- ...and he's a paramedic.
- Okay. Thank you.
That'd be great.
Okay. Well.
It's like a damn morgue in here.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
- Damn, Bosco!
- Better than listening to nothing.
You don't have speakers
behind your ears!
- With your head, echo must be deafening.
- Bosco, please. I have a headache.
Sorry.
[TURNS VOLUME DOWN]
- Hey, this is a righteous ride, man.
- Righteous?
CARLOS: what year is it?
- The car?
My Camaro used to beat
the hell out of this.
- You're such crap.
- This car is crap.
- Bite me.
- Like that.
Okay. Can one of you
just try and act like an adult, okay?
Just pretend for a few minutes.
It's all about the car.
It takes more than a hot car.
I had a boyfriend in high school.
He had a Mustang. Chaz.
- Chaz?
- Chaz?
I think his name was Charles.
And they called him Chaz for short.
- Why not call him Chuck?
- Or call him Charlie?
I don't know. His car was the
reason I went out with him though.
I went to my last
homecoming in that thing.
Um, I gotta pee.
- You can't wait until you get home?
- No.
You know what? I could use
a restroom myself.
BOSCO:
I don't believe you two.
I'm driving around with 6-year-olds.
Yum, yum, yum.
- Let me get another one.
- Didn't know you drank like that.
I don't.
You look like a pro to me.
[BURPS]
Give me some of those
pickled eggs, my good man.
- Yeah. And a diet soda.
- Is he gonna be okay?
Yeah. I'll make sure he gets home okay.
- What?
- Nothing.
- Nothing, nothing.
- What? Come on.
Do you always mother everybody?
- Mother?
- Yeah.
My brother does the same thing.
I don't mother people.
Hey, it's just an observation.
It's not a criticism.
So where were you? At a dance?
Homecoming.
After four of them, they get boring.
So, what? Are you graduating?
I'm a senior.
- So are you gonna go to college?
- I got accepted to Columbia.
- But I--
- What? You're not gonna go?
Oh, it's a long story.
That's 65 runs a week times 50 weeks.
We got two weeks' vacation. That's...
...3250 runs a year.
That's a really, really good school.
The way I figure it, we get
about $13.85 cents a run.
What?
At $45,000 a year,
that's what it comes to.
- That's depressing.
- That's very depressing.
And you guys go on
even more runs. So you get less.
All right. You know,
it's not that I don't enjoy learning...
...I make less than a bleacher seat...
...every time I risk my life
but I'm gonna take a cab to my car.
- Would you excuse me?
- Sully, sit down, okay?
I'll take you back as soon
as we get her home.
- I'm ready.
- Great.
- So you liked that guy's car, huh?
- Hm?
- What was it? Chaz?
- Oh, yeah.
Chaz.
What year was his Mustang?
I don't know.
Looked kind of like this, though.
Really?
Mm-hm.
I liked that car a lot.
- Really?
- Mm-hm.
BOSCO:
Mm-hm.
JIMMY:
Why don't you get married?
CARLOS:
I don't see me doing that.
No.
I'm happy where I am,
you know, playing the field...
...staying available
for whatever happens.
I mean, what if you get married...
...and something better
comes along? Then what?
Right? Nothing but a hassle then.
I mean, what are you gonna do if
you find something you like better after?
An affair? That just seems
like a lot of Work to me.
Didn't anyone ever teach you
the no talking in the urinals rule?
There's graffiti so you have something
to read while you keep your mouth shut.
- Your mom doesn't mind you being out late?
- I'm 18.
- I don't think I'll ever get used to that.
SHANNON: You have kids?
Yeah, 8 and 11.
And my daughter, the 11 -year-old,
she's too independent for me already.
It's what we do.
Yeah, it happens too fast, though.
Mm-hm.
I really appreciate the ride. Thank you.
Don't mention it. Which side of the park?
Actually, leave me on Central Park West.
I want to walk across.
- Through the park?
SHANNON: I do it all the time.
- Peaceful.
- Till someone sticks a gun in your face.
- Can't go through life afraid.
- Can't go through it dead either.
True.
TEENAGER 1: Oh, yeah!
TEENAGER 2: All right! I'll drink to that!
We are the best.
JIMMY: I haven't been bowling in years.
- No wonder there were no girls in the bar.
- I used to be on two teams.
- There's some fine women here.
They're kids.
They can't be too young. It's 2:00 in the
morning and they're still out. Damn! Wow.
If these are high school girls, where the
hell were they when I was in school?
This makes me think about tonight.
The accident? Why?
It didn't happen in a bowling alley.
No wonder you have
trouble with women.
What? Hey, who says
I have trouble with women?
- Shut up, okay?
- What?
- There comes a time when you talk--
- Excuse me. You guys gonna go bowl?
- What?
- There's only one lane left next to us.
If you guys don't bowl,
We're gonna be stuck...
...With the losers
as our bowling partners.
I do good with the ladies.
- We got a couple of others with us.
- Go get them.
I admit I'm no Casanova.
Why do you say that? That....
You know what?
- I think I will. Couple of games sounds good.
- Cool.
Size 14 shoes. I'm gonna
go get Kim and the moron.
Size 14?
KIM:
Ow! This thing's digging into me!
Oh, my. Oh, my God! Jimmy!
- Did you just call me Jimmy?
- No! He's coming!
God, get off me.
[GRUNTING]
Oh, Kim.
Get my shirt. Move, Bosco!
Hey.
We'll bowl a couple games
if you aren't busy.
Oh, no. We're just sitting here talking.
Uh-huh.
You have no problem
coming in, bowling?
- No, sounds great.
- It does?
Yeah. Come on.
Don't get too high on yourself.
It isn't about you.
Kiss my ass.
TY:
Oh, yeah.
How long you think he can go?
I don't know. He's a big guy.
ALEX:
Sooner or later they all fall.
I can hear you.
What do you think?
I drank so enough...
...I'm blind?
It's all right, man.
- What did you say?
- I'm sorry.
Yeah? Well....
ALEX: You know, he can drink all night.
But he isn't gonna forget.
In the morning he's gonna have all the same
memories and a hangover to go with it.
Where're you going? Barf?
Where you going, Bobbaloo?
Where you going?
- Just stay. Stay.
- Bobby. Bobby
How're you doing, man?
You know, I got a lot of
respect for old guys like you.
I'm not one of these guys
comes up and has no respect.
Because old guys, you know...
...you know a lot more...
...because...
...you've seen a lot more. You know?
Am I right? Am I right? I'm right, right?
You're standing on my foot.
When's the last time they stocked this?
What difference does it make
to you how he processes things?
It doesn't.
- They have more Sinatra in here--
- So why say anything?
I'm sorry.
I should know better than to get
between a mother and her cub.
Oh, a comedian.
Oh, this is better.
So....
- So, what? I'm supposed to just--
- I like this song.
I'm supposed to just let him
drink and get wasted...
- Like this song.
- ...that'd be cool?
- Just up and leave him here?
- Do you dance?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- What?
- Do you dance?
No.
Bobby.
What's shaking?
I think I pissed that old guy off.
He'll survive.
TY:
You're right.
You are right.
You two were cute together.
- Have some more jerky.
- Yeah.
How did this happen?
It really is peaceful.
All I wanted to do was to go
home and have a beer...
- ...and catch some SportsCenter.
- You didn't have to come.
What am I supposed to do? Wait in the car
While you and Doc play Follow The Fetus?
College is very important.
It gives you options
you might want later on.
You sound like my dad.
Yeah, well, you don't want
to be stuck in a job...
...Where they don't pay you
What you're worth.
I just want a job where I'm happy.
Money helps too.
As long it's never the only thing.
Come on, catch up.
Oh, great.
Now I'm supposed to jog.
Ooh. Oh.
Don't you just love this park?
- I....
- This park?
- Yeah.
- You know, 1981 ...
...right back down there...
...a guy was beaten to death with a
Wrench in front of 50 Witnesses.
Broad daylight. Nobody saw a thing.
- You see that spot right there?
- What? The tree?
I had my first kiss underneath it.
Johnny Vascy.
It was awesome.
My first kiss,
the girl sneezed in my mouth.
Seriously?
[LAUGHING]
Look at that. I used to bring the
kids here twice a week.
We used to come every day.
Let's go check it out.
- No, no, no.
SHANNON: Yeah.
- We're closing up.
- No. what about last call?
- You already had two.
- How about a really, really last call then?
Let's go. Come on.
I cannot believe this.
I can't believe how you're treating me.
How long have I been coming here
to this establishment?
I've never seen you before in my life.
That's no reason for you to
treat me like a first-class citizen.
- I know--
BOBBY: You know what?
- I'll take care of it.
- I'm a cop!
- Yes, you are.
- That's $112.
- What?
- He bought rounds for the house.
- Next round on me.
- Shut up!
You let a guy this drunk buy rounds?
I'm not the man's conscience. I pour.
- It's $112.
- All right. Fine.
See what happens
When you process in public?
There's always someone waiting
to take advantage.
- Take this.
- Okay.
You're a nice guy, Bobby.
DOC:
There we go.
We broke into a merry-go-round.
This night keeps getting
better and better.
- It's a cheap lock.
SULLY: Missed the part of the law...
...Where it says burglaries are
graded on the price of the lock.
Oh, well, come on.
We're not hurting anything.
Hold on. All right. Here it is.
Hold on.
[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah.
Yeah.
[DOC WHOOPS]
Come on! Get on!
Whoa!
SHANNON:
Hey.
Better and better.
- Sully, come on!
- Yeah. What's your problem?
Come on, get on.
I'm allergic to horses.
Whoo!
Everybody come off of the toy. And keep
your hands where we can see them.
This is just perfect.
We can't pretend
last night didn't happen.
It's not healthy to keep things inside.
What you do is healthier?
Taking care of everybody else
so you don't have to deal with it yourself?
People like you,
soon as something lousy happens...
...you're like cheerleaders
telling everyone it'll all be okay.
I'm not a cheerleader.
Let's just forget it, huh?
I go to church.
- Good for you.
- I go to church on my way to work.
I light a candle for anyone
Who dies on my watch.
- Oh. That makes it better.
- Come on, Taylor!
Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm gonna be sick.
- What?
TY: Yeah.
[PUKING]
No, get out of my car, man!
COP: You're from the 5-5?
- Yeah. We were just being ridiculous.
- Uh-huh.
- They needed to blow off some steam.
But not you?
- I look like the merry-go-round type to you?
- Look, I only got one request.
Don't do anything that
disturbs me again, all right?
I came on midnights because it's quiet.
There are plenty of toys in this city
that aren't on my beat. Explore them.
- Right.
- Absolutely.
Oh, watch out. Watch out.
Ohh. Bam!
Watch out. Hey!
Anyone paying attention?
I bowled four strikes in a row.
CHELSEA: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
BOSCO: Hey, man. I saw you.
- Kimmy, you're up.
- Go ahead. I'll watch.
- What?
- I'll watch.
- Let's see what you got.
GARY: All right.
Four in a row.
- Your boyfriend is cute.
- He's my ex-husband.
- Oh, sorry.
- It's okay. It doesn't matter.
Me and Gary are celebrating
our four month anniversary.
- That's nice.
- Yes. Yes.
We're gonna be together forever.
Oh. Oh, oh, oh.
Check out Don Juan. Look at him.
God, that kid has problems.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Look at him. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Look at that. Oh!
Yeah!
What's wrong with you?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
- She hit me, man.
JIMMY: She hit you?
CARLOS: Sorry.
- What did you say?
- Nothing. Nothing.
JIMMY: You didn't say anything?
Oh, Nieto.
Hey, man.
You see that girl sitting behind Lane 38?
Yeah.
Well, she's chaperoning
her younger sister's group.
And she's recently single.
And she would love to meet somebody.
Yeah. How do you know that?
Trust me.
BOBBY:
That's disgusting.
[TY GRUNTS]
- Hold on.
- Let go. Let go.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let go.
I feel bad because he's my friend.
I just ruined his car.
- He'll get over it.
BOBBY: You should feel bad.
- Okay.
- Okay.
BOBBY:
Three years...
...paying for this damn thing.
You saw them, right?
Who?
- You saw the kids in that car.
- Yeah. I saw them.
They were all burnt up.
- Couldn't tell they were people.
- I don't want to talk.
I couldn't do anything about it.
Stop it!
Just stop talking about it. Okay?
It's not gonna do
anybody any damn good.
Maybe it's doing him good.
- Who are you?
- You need some help?
- No!
- Speak for yourself.
I'm the one holding up the sheriff.
BOBBY: Disgusting.
- I'm not a sheriff.
I'm all right. I'm good. Let go. Let go.
Who are you?
- My name's Darren.
BOBBY: What's this?
What is this? Is this egg?
- That's a good name.
- I guess.
My name's Ty.
This is Al.
This is Al the firewoman.
Let go. Let go.
ALEX: Okay.
- Darren, seriously.
[CHUCKLES]
Let go.
All right. I'm just gonna....
Score!
There you go.
- I want to give you something.
- Yeah?
Yeah. Something a girl
like you should wear.
Wow, it's beautiful.
Where'd you get it?
I just think you should have it.
- Yeah?
- Perfect.
Thank you.
- Think you could show me how again?
- Sure.
- They're so cute.
- Yeah.
- Ooh.
- And it's a goner.
You were hooking up with Boscorelli.
We weren't hooking up.
What?
You jumped me
When we had the worst nights.
That's not true.
Look, I care about you.
I just don't want to see anyone
take advantage of you.
- We were talking.
- Then he needs to...
...get his suspension looked at.
[ENGINE REVS AND TIRES SCREECH]
- Do you know her well?
- What?
Just wondering
if she always looks that sad.
Pile him in.
How's it smelling?
It smells nice!
Smells nice in here.
Hey, thanks for the help.
No problem.
Want a ride someplace?
I'm not going that far.
That's okay.
I mother people.
Let's go.
Hey, you wanna get in on this side?
YOKAS:
That was great.
Yeah, maybe next time
We can actually get shot.
Are we the same age?
You know the problem with
being a mom and a cop is...
...you know too much because
you've seen too much. You know?
Every day you realize life's crappier...
...than most people
are ever gonna know about.
Sometimes it's like I envy other parents.
You know, like, regular parents.
Because they don't have a clue.
Yeah. It must be rough.
Yeah. It makes you want
to lock the door...
...and keep your kids inside forever.
Can't do that.
No, I can't.
It doesn't make sense that
We get paid as little as we do.
- Are you still on that?
- Well, you know, it's not right.
MAN:
Let's go! Hand it over!
- Now! Come on!
WOMAN: Don't hurt him! Please!
MAN: Give me the money!
WOMAN: No, please.
YOKAS: Hey!
SULLY: Hey, come here!
Come here!
You, come here!
You okay?
Hey, let me look at him, okay?
Let me look at him.
Sir?
Sir, can you hear me?
Sir.
PARAMEDIC 1:
All right. Let's get it out.
Doc?
Yeah. We got a isolated head trauma.
Guy was hit in the head with a rock.
PARAMEDIC 2:
Yeah. We got it.
We weren't bothering anybody.
We were just....
Hey, is he gonna be all right?
- Yeah. We're doing everything we can.
- Son of a bitch got away.
We never got close enough
for a good look.
- You see why I hate this park?
- I'm gonna go to the hospital.
Me too. We can notify police
from the hospital.
- Sully, take care of my car?
- I got it.
I'll meet you back at the
precinct in an hour or so.
SULLY: Okay.
DOC: Here you go. Here you go.
Lift.
Place it in.
Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
SULLY: Is this it?
SHANNON: Mm-hm.
- Have I ever been here before?
- I don't know.
Have you lived here a long time?
Not really.
I just thought you might remember
some tragedy the police responded to.
Maybe it wasn't a tragedy.
I doubt it.
Is everything you remember bad?
- What?
- All the stuff...
...that happened in the park,
even your first kiss, it's all bad.
You have happy memories?
Yeah, sure.
Some.
Some?
Thank you for taking care of me.
You're welcome.
Officer Sullivan?
- Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
How--?
- How are you?
- I'm good.
What are you doing here?
Uh....
Just dropping a girl off
Who lives in that building.
I'm just getting in from Work.
They got me on graveyards.
I stopped by the precinct,
they said you weren't around.
I'm usually on the street.
I was looking for you to tell you
how much better we're doing.
Here. You come across anybody else
in crisis, tell them to give me a call.
I'm a peer counselor now.
- "Frank Matthews."
- Yeah.
Anyways, like I said, I wanted to let
you know I was doing all right.
We have a kid now. Frank Junior.
- No kidding?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I'm real lucky. I'm blessed.
I just--
Thank you.
- You bet.
- Really, it was great seeing you.
Sure. Likewise. Good night.
Good night.
You were gonna kill yourself.
- Sorry. What's that?
- Nothing. I was just....
I was just saying good night.
- Good night. Thanks again.
- Yeah.
That's--
That's....
It's just over two blocks.
- What? East?
DARREN: Yeah.
- That's gonna take us where it happened.
- We're not going past there, are we?
- Yeah.
- Oh, man.
There was a bad accident tonight.
Some kids died.
We got there as fast as we could.
But not fast enough.
BOBBY:
That's Bosco's car.
Bos?
What are you doing?
Leave me the hell alone.
What are you doing here?
- I'm serious, Bobby. Leave me the hell alone.
BOBBY: Bos.
I think this is where it happened.
You can barely tell
there was an accident.
Cleaned up fast.
- It must have been terrible.
- Who the hell are you?
My name is Darren.
You know what, Darren? It was terrible.
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I stood right there and I watched
four kids just like you burn to death.
Wasn't a thing I could do.
- I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
It doesn't matter.
This isn't why I wanted to be a cop.
This isn't why I put the uniform on.
This is sad. And it's stupid!
God, I hate this!
There's nothing I can do about it.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Sunrise, remember?
The beach.
Coney Island, okay?
Heading for the beach.
Two-forty.
I've never bowled a 240 in my life.
- You gonna call her?
- She's got a kid.
What's wrong with that?
- It's like having an instant family.
- Yeah.
I hope there aren't too many guys
out there with that attitude.
- I'm gonna call her.
- Good.
Yeah, she was pretty hot, huh?
- That's pretty good. I almost had you.
- What? You bowled a 78.
You guys, I don't feel like
going home yet.
Why don't we go out to Coney Island?
- What?
- Bobby said they were gonna go out there.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
All right.
Hey, what the hell are you guys
doing out here?
Went bowling.
- What are you doing in Doc's car?
- Uh....
It's a long story.
Look, I'm going back over to the house.
Any of you want a ride?
I think We're gonna go to Coney Island,
Watch the sun come up.
- Oh.
- Want to come?
Okay.
He's gonna meet us down there.
What we need is some wood.
I've never come here.
I used to come here
all the time in high school.
The sand wasn't so high though.
You used to be able to walk
under this boardwalk.
Alex...
...We all got there as fast as we could.
Sometimes things are just meant to be.
Those kids weren't supposed to die.
That's not what I meant.
