Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 3, Episode 16 - Thicker Than Water - full transcript

You're under arrest.

You're interrupting my friend's wedding.

Get up.

Get us some help here!

I think I'm shot, man.

I didn't... I didn't even...

My name's Monte. I'm one of the

paramedics who brought you in.

I'm pregnant.

You sure it's mine?

Screw you.



Ty got shot because this little

bastard sent us into ambush

without so much as a warning.

Warning. You know

I warned you.

Where are you going to go?

I don't know.

Well, when are you coming back?

Tatiana!

Bobby's gone.

Bobby!

Bobby, talk to me!

Oh, my God!

Jesus, Bobby.



Oh, God!

Bobby, look at me.

Bobby...

Bobby, you stay with me, you hear me?

You need any help, Miss?

We're open.

You can come on in if you want to.

The other shift swears they clean this rig.

Look at this.

We haven't even had a run today.

You know what we should do?

Set up a video camera, run it at slow speed

find out what the hell
they're doing all day.

Why slow speed?

Otherwise the tape runs out.

Sounds like you've done this before.

Got your own little video library, do you?

Hey, hey, I'm just saying...

Excuse me, gentlemen? Yeah?

Can you tell me where
I might be able to find...

Paramedic Monte Parker?

Doc? He's going to be...

Why? I'd like to speak with him.

I don't think he's working today.

Well, do you know when he will be?

I don't know. We don't have
much to do with the medics

but call later, ask the boss.

Okay. Fine.

Thank you. Yeah.

Doc's going to be here in a little while.

Do me a favor, boys.

If someone comes looking for me

dressed like that with my
name on a piece of paper...

You don't know me, okay?

Hey, Kim.

Hey.

We need to talk.

It's just the circus.

No, it's not just the circus.

It's my day. You know that.

Engine 57, Ladder 100 we have smoke at 106

East 57 on the three.

We'll set up in there.

Sir.

Have a seat, Officer.

We'll be a few minutes.

How we doing, Sul?

McTighe looks pretty pissed.

It's a fluff job. Don't worry about it.

You'll be fine. Yeah.

Hey, you seen Yokas yet?

No.

Been calling for two
days, she doesn't answer.

Maybe she got caller ID.

Who's running this thing?

John McTighe himself.

And IAB.

Oh, great.

We're ready for you, Officer.

You're on deck, Boscorelli.

Good luck, Sul.

Yeah.

Hey, Charlie, you seen Yokas?

You really got to go straight in?

Yeah, I really got to.

I'll just go in, I'll tell them my story

and then I'll be back in time for dinner.

Malucci's?

That's a date.

Hey, thank you for a great weekend.

It was just what I needed.

Mm. You and me both.

7:30.

No, make it

7:45, all right, just in case?

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Not one decent pen

in this whole damn bus.

Here, try this one.

Oh. Thanks.

Better?

Is it too much to ask for a pen that works?

Whoa

whoa, whoa, stop, stop, stop.

Oh, my God.

Hey, you okay?

What happened to you?

I'm all right.

Well, you don't look all right.

Here, why don't you come here?

I'll get the bags.

I said I'm okay.

What's your name?

Leave me alone!

Okay, let's just slow down.

She said leave her alone.

And who are you?

I ain't gonna say it again.

and WARNER BROS. TELEVISION

How's Officer Davis doing?

Really well, sir.

He should be out in the next couple days.

You seen Maggie lately? Not since that day.

I put in a call yesterday.

Strong woman.

Absolutely.

First her husband...

now nearly her son.

Yes, sir.

Now, Officer Sullivan, you're aware

that you do not have
the right to remain silent

in this proceeding.

You must answer all questions
or you will be suspended.

Yeah, I know.

And making a false statement will result

in dismissal from the department.

Got it.

Can you tell us in your own words

what happened at the incident in question?

Well, what happened is I was, uh...

I was locking this guy up,
and the next thing I know

bullets are flying everywhere.

Basically, my point of
view of the thing consisted

of the ceiling of that
restaurant and the floor.

Did you see Officer
Davis fire at Mr. Hampton?

Who's Mr. Hampton?

Arthur Hampton.

C-Note.

C-Note's name was Arthur?

Apparently.

No, I didn't see Davis shoot anybody.

I didn't see much of anything.

I'm sorry.

Can you show us on the blackboard

the position of your vehicle

outside the club?

You want me to draw it?

Please.

Uh...

About like that.

And you did not fire a single round?

No. You guys checked my gun.

All right, that'll do it

Sully. Thanks.

Thank you, sir.

You were there... making an arrest?

Uh, yeah, for an assault.

Central has you at Mercy Hospital.

Right, we, uh...

I failed to notify them
of our new location.

And why was that?

Am I calling for backup or what? No.

Why not? 'Cause this
one's mine, that's why.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Let's get you to the ambulance, okay?

She said she doesn't need nothing.

Well, you know what

if one of you can show me a medical license

I'm the one making the
decisions around here, all right?

All right.

All right.

You sure you got nothing to tell me?

Nothing happened to you, right, Monay?

Nothing happened.

Monay? That's your name?

Well, listen, Monay, you're going to need

some stitches and some X-rays.

She's not going nowhere.

You know what, we're not cops

but we can have them here in seconds.

Monay is going to the hospital.

Boy 55-3.

Boy?

Seconds.

We'll rap later, Monay.

You got some mean-looking enemies.

Those are my friends.

Old man up there with chest pains, Doc.

We're on it. He might have smoke, too.

Space heater caught fire.

Doc, some guy came by
the house a little while ago

looking for you. What guy?

Struck me as a lawyer type.

I told him you were off.

Figured you'd want a
little heads-up. A lawyer?

Tailored suit, chauffeured Town Car

your name on a little piece of paper.

What'd he want?

I don't know.

Told him to call later,
see when you'd be on.

Me, I'd be nervous.

You, he's probably
delivering a Nobel prize.

So, how old are you? Eighteen.

You got a number where
we can reach your parents?

If you can find my father,
you're way ahead of me.

Okay, how about your mom?

Dead. Three months ago.

Sorry.

All right.

Just one second here.

I know.

I mean, what if you've been named

beneficiary in some guy's will?

What? Somebody you've treated.

You know, old people croak
and the last thing they remember

is that kindly paramedic
who was there at the end.

Am I dying?

You'll be fine, sir.

I was probably there,
too, but that won't matter.

They'll just leave it all to you.

What the hell are you talking about?

The mystery lawyer.

You know, you could be walking around rich

and not even know it.

I doubt that.

Yeah, you're right. Never mind.

Since when is anyone dropping by

out of the blue ever good news?

I don't have a will.

You're going to be okay, sir.

Keep the mask on.

BP's 120/70; pulse is 80

respiration's 22; good breath sounds

bilaterally.

We'll put her in One.

Bunch of girls beat her up.

She didn't want to call the police.

We'll do it from here.

Oh. It's the second one in three days.

Second one what?

Gang initiation.

She was getting jumped in, right?

When I was a girl, we tried
to avoid getting beat up.

Seems to me like you and Kimmy are starting

to get along.

Oh, we are. It's just
a weird time, that's all.

Excuse me...

are you guys paramedics?

Fire fighters, please.

I'm looking for a paramedic.

Are you hurt? No.

I'm looking for a specific paramedic one.

Carlos Nieto?

He works here, right?

Why? Yeah.

Actually

that's him right over there.

He's in that ambulance?

That's his bus.

Thank you.

What ever happened to giving a heads-up?

Come on, it's Nieto.

Carlos Nieto.

Guilty.

Can I speak to you

for a minute?

All right, I'll be upstairs.

Don't be too long.

What can I do for you?

My name is Haley Sundstrom.

It's very nice to meet
you, Haley Sundstrom.

My sister was Vangie Sundstrom.

Vangie.

You two dated

for a while.

Uh...

oh, yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't say dated, but, um...

how's she doing?

She's, um... she's dead.

About a month ago.

She was riding her bike

and was hit by a drunk driver.

Oh, man, that's terrible.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Well, you heard the man.

I got to get inside, so...

There's no one

to take care of her baby.

Her baby?

Your baby.

Excuse me?

Your daughter. She's eight months old.

Whoa, back up. Let's drop
that "your daughter" stuff.

Vangie said you were the father.

Yeah, and she also used to say

that I was an angel sent to protect her.

You were her only partner.

Yeah, like you believe that?

I thought she was exaggerating about you.

Yeah, whatever.

Look, I feel for you, really, I do, but...

I admit my sister had troubles.

But my mom is dead, my dad disowned her

and I'm just trying to finish grad school.

None of which is my problem.

The kid's not mine. Period. Sorry.

We can resort to a blood test.

Bring it on anytime.

You just think about it for a second.

I don't have to. Good-bye.

So if this one catty-cornered
here is 5-5 Charlie

that puts C-Note...

right here behind him.

Um...

and us in 5-5 Edward...

behind them both, about right there.

Who was driving your RMP?

I was.

Soon as my foot hit the
brake, all hell broke loose.

And when did you vacate the car?

"Vacate"?

I think we pretty much
vacated as soon as those jagoffs

started shooting the hell out of it.

Is that when Benny Ross got hit?

Officer?

Um... I didn't see him till later.

What were you doing?

I saw that these shooters were
going to pin us behind our RMP.

I tried to run interference.
I ran across the street...

tried to draw their fire.

Maybe give someone else an open shot.

Can you show us your path?

Pretty ballsy move.

Didn't work, though, did it?

You're here.

Officer Ross was on the ground

next to your RMP?

Yeah, he was about right there.

Can you indicate on the board
where Officers Yokas and Gusler

were stationed?

Their vehicle was here...

Gusler was behind it

and Yokas...

was against the building right here.

Against the building? Absolutely.

McTIGHE: Are you sure?

That's where she was, boss.

Shouldn't these questions

be directed at Officer Yokas?

Just trying to paint an accurate picture.

And you did not fire your weapon?

No, I did not.

We still have some test results

to get back, and I'd
like to get a CAT scan.

Whatever.

All right, well, let me find someone

to take you to Radiology, okay?

Hi. Hi.

Were you getting jumped
into a gang? Are you still here?

Did you let those girls beat you?

Now I got to go explain
why I let you dis them.

What, you're worried about them?

Ain't nobody having a heart attack

or something you got to go see?

Why? Why would you let them do that to you?

Why the hell do you care?

What, are you trying to
win some kind of prize?

You're right. What the
hell am I doing here?

I don't have time for hopeless cases.

Hopeless?!

Your future consists of me

zipping you up in a body bag one day.

You go to hell.

Where's she going?

Ask her.

I'm not finished here yet.

Young lady...

you have to sign out.

Young lady...

How you doing, Steve?

Never done one of these before.

You'll be fine.

They got Sully in there now?

He went earlier.

Bosco came out a little while ago.

He was asking for you.

Did you see where he went?

I think he went out on patrol.

I'll catch up with him later.

They got you waiting, huh?

Well, you got nothing to worry about.

You don't think?

Just answer their questions.

You did nothing wrong.

Anyway, they got a union rep in there

to make sure that you
don't answer any questions

that they don't ask.

Okay.

Just breathe.

Through your nose.

Stupid, stupid girl.

Lets people beat the crap out of her

to get into a gang.

Well, like you said, it's stupid.

But a lot of stupid things happen out here.

Doesn't bother you?

People dying all around
us, people who want to live

and these kids are purposely
messing themselves up.

You get pissed off about stuff
we can't do anything about.

What good does that do?

What's up

with you today?

Tomorrow's my day. My Joey day.

Jimmy goes and gets tickets to the circus

two tickets, not three, so I'm
out with no say in the matter.

That does kind of suck.

And the moment

I feel the slightest bit comfortable

with the custody arrangement

he pulls the rug from under me. Yeah?

I mean, it's been at the
Garden for two weeks.

He has to pick this day?

Well, maybe it's

the only day he could get.

Yeah, well, it's my day.

Kids do love the circus.

Yeah, well, you're not a mother.

No, that's right. Forgive me.

What the hell would I
know about the circus?

I'm starving! Let's eat.

There's chopped meat in the fridge.

What the hell is this?

Oh...

What is it? It's a baby.

Hey, it ain't me. Jimmy, what did you do?

Hey, Doc!

Doc! You better come up here!

Somebody just left it here?

Complete with instructions...
feeding schedule...

"Kylie Anne Sundstrom."

What's going on?

Hey, what do we got here?

People don't just leave
babies on doorsteps anymore.

No, now they leave them in Dumpsters.

Somebody just left it here?

Let me go get my bag up here.

What else does the note
say? No explanation?

Nothing.

That's a shame, man.

Yeah. I think she's hungry.

Look at that.

She's adorable.

Look at that.

Aw...

Hey...

Good little baby, huh?

Hey.

Hey.

Brought you some cake.

German chocolate.

Thanks.

Wasn't easy getting it
by the Gestapo out there.

Nurses don't play.

So you want me to open it for you?

Nah, I ate a little bit ago.

I'm all right.

Oh, all right.

Well, I'll, uh... I'll leave it here.

You can have it later.

Sorry I haven't been by.

It's been pretty crazy.

Don't worry about it.

My ma's been in and out. My sisters.

Well, with all those visitors,
the nurses probably wouldn't

have let me up here anyway.

They got those rules, right?

Yeah, like I said, those
nurses, they... don't play.

So how you feeling?

Better. I guess.

What, you back on the street?

Tomorrow.

I had to get dressed
for the shooting review.

Yeah, they're coming

to talk to me tomorrow.

Yeah?

Supposedly they're going
to be okay with everything.

I'm going to get a rip

for not notifying Dispatch of our location

but, uh... I told them you wanted to

and I wouldn't let you.

You wouldn't let me?

I didn't mean it like that.

Hey. I'm just saying

if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't...

Sully, if I get a reprimand,
I get a reprimand.

I'm a grownup.

Right.

So, uh, Tatiana's kid okay?

Sergei.

Sergei.

Wake up, you little...

John, you hurt him! Hurting him?!

My partner just got taken
upstairs with a bullet in him!

Is he all right?

Well, I haven't gotten any bad news.

That's good.

Tell Tatiana I said what's up.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll tell her.

Well, I guess...

I'll get out of here and
let you get some rest.

Yeah.

Hey, Sull? Yeah.

Thanks for the cake.

Sure.

I'll see you. Okay?

Yeah.

Have to secure the bassinet to the cot.

Hey, what do you think the hospital's

going to do with her?

Ah, just check her out again

hook her up with Children's Services.

Yeah...

Children's Services.

I'm sure the police will
be looking for the parents.

The parents?

Do you mean, like, the mother?

Well, whoever left her out here.

Right. Right, right, right.

You know what? I'll ride in back with her.

What?

You drive, I'll ride... in back with her.

With the baby?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm good.

You've been here about a year and a half

is that correct, Officer?

A year and a half, yes, sir.

Been a hell of a time.

Oh, yes, sir.

You enjoy being a cop?

You can answer that one, Officer.

Uh, yeah. Yes, sir.

Mostly, I guess.

Now we've established
55-Charlie here at the scene

Officer Gusler.

With the car driven by Arthur Hampton...

C Note... here, and 55-Edward behind that.

And here's you, 55-David.

That's about right, I guess.

You guess?

That's right.

Now, at the time of the shooting

you were posted here behind the car

with officer Yokas against the building

is that right?

Yeah. Okay.

You seem unsure.

Well, it's just, um...

not exactly right.

Uh, I was, uh

more over here.

Out near the front of the car

and Officer Yokas was way out here.

You sure of that?

Yeah.

Yes, sir, I'm sure.

I'm going to talk to him.

This might not be a good time.

Yeah, when is it ever a good time?

It's equipped with

an onscreen, high-temperature
sensitivity indicator

which you're going to see

in the upper right hand corner

below the batter...

What's up here?

Can I borrow him for a second, Lieu?

Make it quick.

Thanks.

Sorry.

What'd I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong.

Then why can't I see him?

Kim, it's the circus, okay?

He's really excited about going.

All right, well, then I'll take him.

What?

Yeah, give me the
tickets and I'll take him.

No.

Jimmy, I really need to see him.

I'm sorry, Kim, I really am

but not tomorrow.

I got to...

I got to get back.

Yeah.

Sorry about that.

It's all right.

Anyway, this is a real lifesaver, so...

Yeah, she's eight months old

according to the birth certificate.

Vitals are good and
she looks well-nourished.

How's she doing back there?

Perfect.

So, your ETA's about 15 minutes?

That's right, yeah.

And we'll need you to
contact Children's Services.

Hey, you seen Kim?

Yeah, she went for a walk around the block

to cool off.

Unbelievable.

Who? You or her?

Excuse me?

You know, it's probably none of my business

but that circus thing
seems like a low blow.

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

Except for the fact that I have to spend

all day and night with her.

You think that's a fun
exercise after you pull

something like that?

What?

It's not the circus.

You have any idea what tomorrow is?

Nope.

It's one year.

Bobby was shot a year ago tonight.

Died a year ago tomorrow.

I don't want Joey with her tomorrow.

You think she should be alone?

I have to think of Joey first here.

Right or wrong, that's
all I'm trying to do.

That go okay?

I guess.

They want me to hang around.

Oh, that's probably just to make sure

that what I say matches up with you.

It's a partner thing.

You told the truth, right?

Yes, ma'am.

Then we should be fine.

Thank you for not
saying anything to anyone.

Yeah, I got nothing to tell them.

Officer Yokas?

Piece of cake.

McTIGHE: You had a few days off, Faith?

A couple, yeah.

Some time to clear your head.

Well, there's never enough time for that.

Ain't that the truth.

Faith.

It's just this is the...

it's the first time I'm
seeing it all laid out.

This is 55-Edward, 55-Charlie

and 55-David.

Sullivan and Davis inside.

And, uh, shooters here.

Uh...

Gusler.

Markham and Davies are here.

Bosco's running

in this direction, and...

Ross falls here.

This is me?

Seems accurate?

Is that where I was?

From what we've gathered.

'Cause the shooter was here

and, uh, I was running

and I was firing in this direction.

Oh, my God.

Faith.

Are you telling me that I shot Ross?

No, it wasn't you.

You fired five rounds

all of which have been accounted for.

What are you saying then?

You hit the shooter with all five.

We have one PD round

unaccounted for... Officer Gusler's.

No, Gusler didn't fire.

Did he tell you that?

No, I guess I just assumed.

Because he recalls that he did.

His weapon checks out.

One round.

Hey, how was your walk?

It's not over, yet.

You hungry?

No.

You know, can you just, um...

Can you leave me alone?

You sure?

We could go to that new Chinese
and get some of those great

crab egg rolls.

I'm not hungry.

Kim, listen, I...

Please, Alex, can you just leave me alone?

Hey.

I ain't no hopeless case.

What are you doing here?

You take it back.

That was stupid... leaving

the hospital the way you did.

I ain't hopeless.

Fine, you're going to be President one day.

Anything else?

Yeah.

I don't feel so good.

Monay.

Monay.

You Parker?

Children's Services?

Yes, Anne McCambly.

Hey, how are you?

And this would be?

Kylie.

Kylie Ann Sundstrom.

Oh, she's adorable.

Yeah, yeah.

Someone took care of her.

Until they got tired of her.

Happens all the time.

We have a whole system set up

so people don't have to do this, and yet...

So, where does she go from here?

Well, it'd be a lot easier

if people were courteous enough

to do this at a decent hour.

Do you think the hospital would admit her?

Eh, you'd have to ask Dr. Fields

but my guess is, she's too healthy.

There's a foster home

I can probably get her
into through the night

but I don't like placing infants there.

We've had problems before and...

Well, you know how it goes.

Yeah.

I mean, it's a good home.

It's just a mother who takes in

too many children at times.

We'll see if I can even get her.

Wait.

Yeah?

Carlos?

What if one of us wanted to take her?

One of us?

Me.

You serious?

Do you have any experience?

Experience?

Yes, like, are you a father?

No.

Well then, I appreciate it, but, uh...

But I might be her father.

Gusler didn't kill Ross.

Friendly fire.

It happens.

Look, you should know

I'm putting you and Officer Boscorelli

in for combat crosses.

From everything we learned

your actions were nothing short of heroic.

Look, he's just a kid.

This was really hard on him.

It's been hard on all of us.

No, you... that's not what I mean.

I'm just saying that something
like this would destroy him.

Do you consider him to be fit?

Fit? For the job.

Do you think he's capable of continuing on?

Why are you asking me that?

Maybe I should get a lawyer

down here. Not necessary.

You don't have to answer that one, Faith.

Tapes off, just a simple yes or no.

In your opinion, Faith...

is Gusler capable

of being a police officer?

She has a ruptured spleen.

She's going into surgery in a few minutes.

Is she going to be all right?

She's lucky you found her when you did.

No, she found me.

Either way.

Do you think I could see her?

She's drowsy.

They've already started pre-op meds.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

Kim.

Maybe you should just leave it.

What the hell do you
mean you're her father?

I said I might be.

And you weren't going to say anything?

I just did.

What's going on?

Okay.

You remember Vangie?

No.

The nut job I was doing
last year with the bicycle?

Kept showing up at our jobs?

The redhead?

The blonde, the blonde.

It was her sister that showed up

at the house earlier.

She said that Vangie died

and that I'm the father of her baby.

Well, it's 2002, and you're
not a damn teenager.

How do you accidentally
get a girl pregnant?

Maybe.

You never heard of condoms?

Oh, stop, okay?

I use them.

Sometimes.

So...

what are you going to do?

Well, I'll take her for the night

until they figure something out.

No, the cops need to find the sister.

So what, she can dump her again?

Do you really think you can handle this?

I can try.

Look, anything beats
putting her into the system.

I know, I grew up in it.

Carlos...

this isn't a bird, okay?

I mean, this is a little human being.

A person.

I know.

I know.

Did it go all right?

They seem to have gotten what they needed.

So, what now? Should I still wait?

Is that what they told you to do?

Then that's probably what you should do.

Faith...

Hey, there you are.

You already talked to them
yet? Yeah, I just came out.

Oh, damn it. I put you
against the building.

You didn't go and change it, did you?

What are you talking about?

I drew you on the blackboard.

You did that? What?

They asked if it was right?

It's not where she was.

So, what, you went and changed it?

Bosco, Bosco. You went and changed it?

Bosco! Bosco!

Come on, just come with
me. Forget it, all right?

Listen to me, forget it.

Forget the angles, all right?

It wasn't you, Faith, okay?

I saw it, all right? It wasn't you.

It couldn't have been you.

I've been over it and over it.

All right, just come with me right now.

It wasn't you. Right now.

You want to go shopping tomorrow?

What?

I don't know.

I just... feel like hitting the mall.

You hate shopping.

Nah, I don't.

All right, I hate shopping.

I just feel like hanging out.

There's something I have to do.

Okay if I come?

Isn't there another word,
besides anniversary?

I don't think so.

Bobby died a year ago tomorrow.

How could a year have gone by so fast?

It was a hell of a year.

Yeah.

I didn't get to say good-bye to him, Alex.

I didn't get to tell him
all the things that I...

Just how much he meant to me.

Let's go out there tomorrow.

You can tell him then.

Yeah, I tried.

I can't even bring myself to go in.

So, I'll go with you.

We'll go in together.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Listen to me, it wasn't you.

I know that, Bosco. You do?

Yeah, they accounted for my rounds.

Really?

They think it was Gusler.

Seriously? Yeah.

There's no way to know for sure.

All they know is that he fired a round

and they can't account for it.

You know, I spent the last two days

trying to get a hold of you.

Yeah, I know.

And Ross's funeral is tomorrow.

Are you going?

Of course.

You want me to swing by
the house and pick you up?

Yeah, I'd like that.

So you really drew me

in the wrong place on the blackboard?

Well, I was running like hell at the time.

I... I can't be exactly
sure where you were.

Where were you the last two days?

Uh, the Jersey shore.

You have a good time?

Yeah, it was great.

Fred and I were...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

What time is it? 10:30.

Oh, my God, I missed dinner.

See you tomorrow.

Now, if you need anything,
you call me, all right?

Okay. I will. Anytime.

All right, here you go.

I'll be home, no matter what.

I'll be all right.

I've got, uh, formula here, diapers...

All right, good.

Oh, you're going to need more tomorrow.

You think? Well, I hear
they go through a lot.

How do you do this?

You just... yeah, put it over there.

All right, I'll call you. Okay.

Either way.

Okay. All right.

It's okay.

Here you go.

Good night.

Uh... okay.

Good luck.

Is she...?

Oh, boy.

Monte Parker?

Yeah.

I'm Charles Buckley.

It's great to meet you.

Charles...?

I'm Ryan's father. You helped him

after his car accident.

Oh. Right. Ryan.

I just want to thank you

so much for everything you've done for us.

You know, I-I didn't do anything.

You know, he's back home now.

He's got almost

100% of his functions.

That's great. That's good to hear.

My family owes you so much, Mr. Parker.

No. No, you don't.

I have to get back to my hotel.

You will be hearing from me.

Look, Mr. Buckley, really...

I-I... I'll be in touch.

Listen, wait a second, okay.

You don't owe me anything.

You wanted to see me, Lieu?

Yeah, I got good news for you.

We might have a slot for you

sooner than I thought. Really?

Yeah, a position back in the squad.

It seems there's a lot of shuffling

going around the houses these days.

So, if you want back in
turnouts, now's the time.

We could use you.

So, you're in, right?

It has to be now?

Why, is there a problem?

No, I...

You know I want back on the squad.

It's just that... Kim...

I mean...

me and Kim... we're sort of in a groove

and... Doc's shorthanded, too, you know.

I mean, maybe there-there'll
be another time soon.

Yeah, but I don't know if I
know when that time could be.

I know.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

Thanks.

Fred?

Fred, I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry. This whole thing happened

with the panel and then Gusler

and learned that Bosco... Shh...

I brought it home.

What?

Malucci's. Chicken parm for you.

Lasagna for me.

And you even got the bread?

Yeah.

Malucci's without the bread?

What am I

a heathen?

You are the best guy.

You are.

You're the most amazing... person.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's so sweet.

I'm starving.

Thank you for waiting.
