Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 3, Episode 17 - Falling - full transcript

Bosco starts having panic attacks. Carlos is discovering the trials of single parenthood, and starts thinking about adoption. Faith is studying for the Sergent's exam.

So, how does it end?

Oh, a nice clean shot

either right between the eyes

or right behind the ear.

Help me!

Bosco!

You told the department
I'm having difficulties?

Yeah. I'd think it'd be a good idea

if you talked to somebody.

This isn't a bird.

Okay? I mean, this is a little human being.



A person.

What the hell was that?

What was that?

I feel like I'm riding a lawnmower.

Want to walk?

It'd be faster.

Look, Bosco, you can
complain all you want to

but you're not driving this car.

You got it?

When does Davis get back?

Not soon enough.

What is it with you, huh?

You're not getting enough at home?

Look, my home life is off-limits.



You got it?

Just settle whatever beef it is

you got with Yokas will you?

'Cause as soon as Davis can walk unassisted

you're out of here.

I got no beef with Faith.

Why? She say something to you?

What is this? Junior high school?

Excuse me, but she's riding
with Gusler out of charity.

That kid's a... he's a mess.

Yeah, like the rest of us.

How you sleeping?

Hey, you know what?

I feel terrible about Benny Ross

but I'm not blaming myself for it.

All right? It's a dangerous job.

Bad things happen.

It's nothing to get all mental over.

Available 5-5 unit for a silent alarm.

1-0-4 and six.

Taft Savings and Loan.

Old Faithful.

5-5-Charlie responding.

We're around the corner.

Carlos?

Carlos?

Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up.

Kylie?

No. Some other baby got in here.

How can you possibly sleep through that?

Kylie, oh, you need your formula, huh?

Man, I tell you what she needs.

She needs her own apartment, man.

Relax, okay?

I got it covered.

You been to the adoption agency?

Yeah, man.

Been there and registered. Ready to go.

Are you lying?

Hey, this is not dream
for me either, you know?

Nothing personal, okay?

All right, they tell you how
long it was going to take?

Not long at all.

You know, a few weeks... a month.

A month? No, no, you can't do it.

You're going back to work
today and I'm not baby-sitting.

Hey, I'm not asking you.

I got a nanny coming. Yeah.

A nanny?

Yeah. You don't have to lift a finger.

It is not that I wouldn't, all right?

She's real cute and everything.

It's I'm still healing up here.

I got it. I got it. I got it.

All right, I'm going back to bed.

You keep your trap shut, little lady.

Look at that.

Yeah, that's a mean old Uncle Ty.

That's a mean old Uncle Ty.

He got shot in his Mr. Wiggles.

Is that Bosco?

Yeah, it's him and Sully.

You miss riding with him?

Not at the moment.

That alarm gets accidentally
tripped about once a week.

All right, so, read me a question.

"True or false: A sergeant
cannot occupy a seat

in public conveyance?"

It's true.

What's a public conveyance?

Political office.

So, was I right?

Well, why doesn't it just say that, then?

I don't know, Steve.

I'm a little preoccupied right now

with taking the Sergeant's test.

So, was I right or wrong?

What was your answer again?

Hey.

Whoa. Whoa. How many are there?

There was only one that I saw.

Pretty sure he didn't see me.

What did he look like?

White guy, bald, black coat.

Did you see a gun?

No.

This is 5-5-Charlie.

We have a confirmed robbery

at this location.

Requesting backup units.

Bosco!

Hey! Hey! Bosco!

Bosco!

Get out of the way.

Captioning sponsored by NBC

and WARNER BROS. TELEVISION

Suspecting heading east on 102.

Bosco, get in the car.

Get... Get in the... I'm good!

I'm good. Go around the block!

Hey!

Don't get any stupider, jag-off!

Toss your weapon.

Toss your weapon now!

And the bag.

The bag!

And get your ass on the ground now.

Now!

Gusler!

Call EMS!

Officer down, 5-5-David.

Requesting a bus forthwith
at 102 and Madison.

Bosco!

Bosco!

Bosco, where are you hit?

Where are you hit?

Where are you shot?

Bosco, where are you...

Ow!

Bosco...

He's not hit.

It's the dye bag. He's not hit.

It's red paint

Faith, I can't breathe.

Breathe. It's okay.

My heart... I can't breathe...

We need a rush on
that bus at this location.

We have an officer down.

Repeat, we have an officer down.

I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

Let me get your vest off.

Give me the gun. It's all right.

I can't breathe.

Bosco...

It's okay. You're okay.

Bosco...

You're okay. You're okay.

Truth is, I expected worse.

You know, you always hear
how much hard work kids are

but, so far, it hasn't been that bad.

So far.

How's Davis about it?

Pretty cool, actually.

Yeah. No pressure at all.

Please tell me you're not
thinking about keeping this kid.

No.

No...

You crazy?

If that wasn't a heart attack

I'd sure as hell hate to know what is.

Well, here's where it gets tricky.

I mean, you're in excellent health.

But what? There's a "but" coming.

But... your stress isn't cardiac.

My what? What stress?

It would appear

what you suffered today was a panic attack.

Come on, I did not panic...

Now, your history would support

a panic disorder finding.

Do you attend any regular counseling?

Oh, come on, not now.

Don't... not you, please.

The police department has
some excellent therapists on call.

Look, what I've got is nothing

a cold beer and a hot shower won't fix.

Undo me here.

Not for another half an hour.

Look, I'm not talking
to any shrink, all right?

Fine. I can't make you.

But I can't guarantee
this won't happen again.

Okay, I'll try and steer
clear of any exploding bags.

That's all it was,
exploding bag, all right?

If you say so.

I'll be back.

Tell me something, is the sex really better

with these outfits?

It's usually a lot less itchy.

Please tell me they're mascots.

Zebra blindfolded the lion
and fed him strawberries.

Oh... room three.

I got it, Doc.

You got it? Yeah.

Parents... these two.

Just when you think you've seen it all.

Yeah, tell us about it.

Why? What do you guys got?

Bosco might have had a heart attack.

Sully.

Hey, chest pains, shortness of breath...

It could have been anything.

Sound like a hangnail to you?

Who brought him in?

We did. The doctor's in with him now.

Food poisoning.

You okay?

Yeah. Bad piece of fish from lunch.

A piece of fish did that?

That's what the doctor said.

Doc? Does that sound right to you?

Maybe.

Don't sound right to me.

Well, the banks happy
they recovered the money.

Might make tonight's news.

I'll set my VCR.

I'll just hit the head.

See you.

All right.

Sully, if you don't want to wait

you know, I'll take him in.

Why? You got Gusler with you?

I know.

If you don't want to wait, I'll wait.

Lighten up, Mommy. I'll ride with Sul.

Okay. Never mind.

"Mommy"? How do you put up with that?

Oh, it's, uh, it's an acquired taste.

Hey, babe.

Hi.

Hi.

Late one, huh?

Yeah. We had to take Bosco to Mercy.

Bosco? Why? What happened?

A bank bag blew up in his face.

You know, with the ink and all?

It was really scary.

Thought he was taking a heart attack.

A little young for that.

Yeah, I know. And they
said it was food poisoning.

Made me think you
should be getting a physical.

Come here.

I'm serious.

You should make an appointment.

Hi.

Did you get any studying done?

Yeah, some. I'm ready.

You want me to put a pot of coffee on?

We could put in a couple hours?

No. I'm whipped.

How are my babies?

Good. Emily got a B on that report

and Charlie-boy wants to try out

for Sound of Music next week.

Get out of here.

Charlie wants to sing?

Or he could play one of the Germans.

Well, I'm definitely not
going to miss that, huh?

Not after you ace that test.

Finally working some human hours.

Coming home at a decent time.

And then with you spending
more time with the kids

I might chase a few career moves of my own.

Yeah? What are you thinking about?

I don't know.

Maybe I'll take a class or something.

Business management.

That kind of thing helps when
there's a supervisor's job open.

They're always posting
openings on the bulletin board.

Good for you, baby.

And then...

with your bump in salary,
me getting a promotion...

Mm-hmm.

Maybe this time next year

we'll be buying a house out on the island.

You got this all figured out, huh?

Big time, baby.

Hey, Mr. Big Time...

Hmm?

I got to get out of these clothes.

That's the whole idea.

Mm-hmm.

A robbery suspect continues
to allude capture tonight

after police foiled

his latest attempt at Taft Savings and Loan

in Spanish Harlem this afternoon.

A suspect in at least
a half dozen robberies

police say the man is
to be considered armed

and very dangerous.

With an open adoption

you'll remain in the child's life.

She'll have adoptive parents

but know you as her natural father.

Yeah. okay.

A closed adoption means
no disclosure, no interaction.

You simply give us the child and walk away.

No, I want it open.

Come here.

Okay, then...

How did you feel about

Julia and Leo?

The two that you just met?

Very nice couple.

He runs his own flooring company

And she's a...

No?

It's just a vibe.

Oh, all right.

I could begin lining up
interviews as early as...

this afternoon.

Oh, no, see, I've got work tomorrow, and...

Oh, well, then, um, the next day.

We could have Kylie
placed in a matter of days.

Now then, the bank surveillance
failed get a decent close-up.

But we do have this sketch rendering...

That's the guy.

From an eyewitness

who, by the way, happens
to be our own officer

Steven Gusler.

You drew this?

I got a look at him.

This is really good.

And thanks to the efforts

of Officer Boscorelli

the bank retrieved over 60 grand.

In turn, the bank promised
a generous donation

to the P.B.A.

Widows and Children's Fund in Bosco's name.

Not to mention, they offered to chip in

for his new pacemaker.

It was food poisoning.

Well, nice work, Bosco.

And you're feeling good?

Good to go, boss.

Then let's get this guy, okay?

Oh, and by the way, anybody taking

the Sergeant's test tomorrow night...

If I don't see you

best of luck.

That's it.

So where do we want to
start looking for this guy?

Streets or avenues?

We're not going to
start looking anywhere...

Least of all you, not after yesterday.

I'm fine, Sully.

That was nothing.

That wasn't nothing, Bosco.

Cut yourself a break.

I don't need a break.

I need to get this guy, all right?

Then I'll feel better.

I thought you just said you felt fine.

What are you doing?

Boss assigned us to a special detail.

Swersky? What is this?

Crossing Guard shortage.

What?!

Yeah, the old whistle and wave.

You've got to be kidding me.

They expect us to shepherd
rugrats across the street?

What do you mean "us"?

"As a sergeant, what action would you take

"if you believed an officer in your command

to be unfit for duty?"

I guess we're all done with true and false.

Oh, yeah, that's an essay question.

So what would you do?

I would fill out a Supervisor's

Fitness For Duty report

and call the Duty Captain.

And what kind of thing

would make you think someone were unfit?

I don't know.

That would depend on the officer.

All right, you...

Come on, guys.

Thank you.

I'm going to be a policeman someday.

Yeah? Good for you.

Spectacular.

What are you looking at?

I didn't know men do this.

I'm sorry?

I didn't know men do this.

Sully!

That's it!

What now?

I'm done!

Wait a second.

That's it, Sul.

Okay!

Your turn.

All right, I got it, I got it.

Yeah, great, here.

Use it.

All right, I got it.

All units, we have a pursuit
heading north on Amsterdam

from Nine-Five. Gray SUV.

Possible suspect in
connection with bank robbery.

Oh, we're so taking that.

No, we're not.

That's the east side.

It's close enough.

No, we're not!

It's across the park.

Bosco, no, we're not.

Just get in the damn car.

All right, listen...

We'll go, but I'm going to drive.

Just get in the damn car!

Bosco...

Take it easy on the brakes.

They're tight.

Bosco, take it easy.

Bosco, come on.

Pull over.

Pull over!

Hit the brakes!

Hit the brakes. Hit the brakes.

Bosco, hit the brakes!

Hit the brakes!

Hit the brakes!

I'm sorry.

This is 5-5-...

Don't! I'm all right, Sully.

I'm okay.

Charlie?

I'm okay.

Disregard, Central.

I am. I'm...

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

No, you're not, Bosco.

Mine always came out of the blue.

One time right in the middle
of my brother's wedding.

It's like a little mini-movie, right?

All the worst crap you've
ever seen in your life

running out before
your eyes in fast motion.

So you're a cop?

I was a cop.

Now I counsel guys like you.

Listen, I really don't want
the department knowing.

Like I said, guys like you.

These episodes... are
they affecting your job?

No.

Okay, bye.

Excuse me?

Get out.

What?

If you're going to
stand there and lie to me

you might as well go home.

Why waste our time?

You drinking?

Not too much.

A few days a week, maybe.

A few shots.

Bourbon.

How'd you know?

Goes down great, doesn't it?

Like little razor blades

scraping away at that bile
in the back of your throat.

Yeah. Definitely.

Quit.

Definitely.

You're just going to end up in AA

with another problem to solve.

Life's hard enough.

Listen, you know, I know you
came recommended and everything.

I just... I'm not really
good at this sort of thing.

Why don't you tell me about the episodes?

The images you can't shake.

The things that make your
chest go tight and cut off your air.

What is it you see?

Close your eyes and tell me about it.

No. I don't want to do this.

No, close your eyes.

I don't want to close my eyes.

I'm serious. Close your eyes.

All right, what images?

Blood.

I'm on the ground.

This guy cornered me in a
building and he hit my vest.

Then what?

Shaquana.

She's there, too?

Girlfriend?

No, it's a separate thing.

She's, uh...

Hey, Miss Hooker.

Shaquana... she's a long story.

Stay in the car.

We didn't think she was
being raped, but she was.

Sounds very long.

Yeah.

I might as well just shoot you

before you screw up the lives
of everybody who loves you.

Then I always move on to Hobart.

Glenny Hobart.

Knew him really well.

He was a good cop.

So then you know what happened.

Yeah. Bang.

Right. Bang.

So, the other stuff...

The getting shot and
the girl getting raped...

Is that around the same
time as the thing with Hobart?

Hobart was the latest

and then the other stuff
happened a few months before.

A few months before,
but after September 11.

Why bring that into this?

Why not? It's a big deal.

Yeah, I'd say so.

It was about the biggest.

You know what, I'm pretty much over that.

This isn't about that.

Really?

You were on duty?

Why are we even going there?

The more you won't, the more I want to.

I was off-duty.

I woke up at some chick's place.

I heard the plane roaring by

so I ran down.

Down what street?

I don't remember the street.

Most guys know exactly where they were.

I was pulling people out.

Out of the rubble? What tower?

See, people don't know.

You watch channel four news

and you think you know, but you don't know.

Listen to me... you don't know.

Okay, I don't know.

Yet everything that causes your PTSD

happened after the 11th.

Who said anything about PTSD?

I did. Post-traumatic stress disorder.

I know what it is.

Listen to me...

A bank bag exploded in my face.

That's it, that's all.

Okay, thank you for coming.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

I told you not to lie to me.

That's it.

I'm not coming back here.

You're not invited.

This is my life now.

Where is Daddy Dearest?

I don't know. Carlos!

God!

You scared me!

Sorry, sorry.

Where's Carlos?

He's working a double.

She's been crying all day.

Can I see her?

Alex, this is Jenny.

Josie. Josie.

That's a really cute top.

Thanks.

Um, I'm going to heat a bottle, okay?

What was that?

That's Josie.

What is she, 12?

I don't know... Carlos hired her.

He said he hired a nanny.

Teenagers are not nannies.

That's what I think

but I'm trying to stay out of it.

Why? It's not my kid.

Look at her... she's so beautiful.

Yeah, she's real cute.

Who would have thought...
The spawn of Carlos.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Um, this lady called,
like, ten times today.

Said that he'd missed some appointments

that he'd made with her

and so that's the number.

What is it? Is Kylie okay?

She's fine, she's fine.

What, you don't answer your cell phone?

What do you mean?

Oh, damn, it's turned off.

Oh, damn.

You had interviews
today, Carlos... six of them.

Six potential sets of parents. Here.

Oh, man, I totally spaced it.

You're blowing this thing on purpose, dude.

No, no, no. I'm just,
I'm a little overwhelmed.

I'm working a double here,
trying to pay for this nanny.

You can stop calling her
that. She's not a nanny.

She's a baby herself. She's 17.

Alex wouldn't even leave
her by herself up there.

I'm sorry, but she's all I can afford.

Carlos, this child of yours needs a home...

A real home... which, unfortunately

you can't give her.

Who says I can't?

Oh, so... so you're not trying at all?

Yes, I am, but she's my kid.

Have you seen what passes
for parents out there, huh?

Would I be any worse?

At least I have the
right to think about it.

Yeah, exactly. Please, think about it.

Think about all of it.

What about child-proofing the apartment?

You got to think about that

before this little girl crawls out a window

or sticks her finger in a socket.

She wouldn't do that. She wouldn't do that?

You need to think this thing
through, man, long-term.

Seriously.

You're working tonight, right?

Yeah, a double.

I'm going to send this
little Josie girl home

and I'm going to watch the kid.

You. Yes.

And tomorrow, and I mean tomorrow

you go down to the adoption office

you meet with those
families and you pick a winner.

I'm not leaving her with just anybody.

I'm not saying that you should.

I'm just asking you to
think about this little girl.

I am thinking about her.

All the time.

Hey, don't bother holding the door!

So you never said how it went.

I didn't go.

Yes, you did.

He's my friend, remember?

What, did he tell you about it?

No, he never would.

That's why I'm asking you.

No offense, Sully, but your
friend's just another quack

as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, he doesn't mince words, does he?

Listen, I've been meaning to tell you...

I'm sorry about yesterday. Really.

Yeah.

It's not going to happen again.

So he cured you, then?

He's a quack, Sully, all right?

It's nothing he did.

I just know, all right?

I know what's doing it.

That bank bag exploding
in my face was nothing.

It was this jag-off getting away from me.

It hurt me.

Hurt me right here.

This creep's my only problem.

We get him, I'm fine.

I'll be fine.

Okay.

If you really believe that.

All units, ten-one. Call the station.

Ten-one? Why don't they want us now?

It's probably some stakeout.

DA, FBI... some drug spot they're raiding.

Yeah. This is 5-5-Charlie
in regards to the ten-one.

No uniforms or RMPs on set.

Two block radius of 105 and Park.

That's three blocks away.

Then we're fine parked here.

And what are we being asked
to stay away from, Central?

A bank robbery suspect? Let's go.

Ten-one. We steer clear.

You steer clear.

Bosco, what are you doing?

I got to be there, Sul.

Bosco, what the hell are you doing?

Son of a bitch!

There he is.

Let's go.

Get off me, man!

What is this?

Is that him?

Get off me, man!

You got him?

Boscorelli, what are you doing here?

You are so lucky they got you, pal.

You hear me? You're so lucky it wasn't me.

Yeah, yeah. It took some real cops

to bring me down, huh?

Huh?

Sully, get him out of here!

Get him out of here!

Get him in the car!

What is this!

That's police brutality, man!

Get your ass in that car!

Police brutality, man! You saw it!

Police brutality!

Get your ass in the station house!

Bonehead moves in your time

but this certainly takes the cake.

I can't believe that you decide

to punish a prisoner who's handcuffed

in front of the FBI!

What the hell is wrong with you?!

And how are we supposed to take care of...

Don't you have a test to take?

What's going on?

Well, your informant paid off.

The Feds just took down our bank robber

who Boscorelli promptly
punched in the face.

What? Yeah. In front of everybody.

Well, what the hell

was he doing at a stakeout, anyway?

He wasn't on a stakeout.

We weren't supposed to be there.

He couldn't stop himself.

He's not right in the head, Faith.

There's something really wrong with him.

I purposely didn't send you there.

He'll be lucky to get
off with a suspension.

And forget about ESU.

Do you think that Swersky would let me

talk to him for a minute if I asked him?

No. Faith, no.

Go take your test.

All right, Kylie, here we
go, here we go, okay?

You haven't lived until you've
had some of these strained...

apricots, hmm? Hmm?

It looks good.

The ducky likes it.

Uncle Ty likes it. Here it comes.

Put your pencils down at
the completion of part one

and begin part two when
you're instructed to do so.

Do not look at your test booklets

until you are instructed to do so.

If there are no further questions...

you may begin.

Good luck.

Oh, man.

Carlos, what did you do, huh?

What did you do?

Okay.

And that's your pee
seeping through your diaper.

That's nice.

Uh-huh.

That's the bonus. That's the bonus.

I know, I know.

All right, here we go.

Whoa. Kylie, what is this?

What is this? What is this?

What is this, Kylie?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Hello?

Hey, something's wrong, Carlos.

She's crying, she's hot,
she's got a nasty rash.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, David.

Slow down. What do you mean, a rash?

A rash, a rash, all over the place.

Dots. Little dots all over the place.

What's the matter?

The baby's got a rash and a fever.

'Kay, these little dots,
what color are they?

They're kind of purple, I guess.

Purple? Purple.

Purple dots?

Okay, Ty, get her to Mercy right now.

Jump in a cab, whatever.
We'll meet you there.

Okay. Yeah, okay, okay.

All right, Kylie, come on.

We're going to go to
the hospital, all right?

Hey, taxi! Hey!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yo, yo, yo, yo! Hey!

All right, we're going to Mercy Hospital.

I'm a cop. My kid's sick.

Put your foot down and go, all right?

Just run the light, man, run it.

Just go. Just go, run it. Please.

Hey, you know what? Pull over.

Pull over, I'm going to get out.

It's all right, I'm a cop.

I'm a cop. My kid's sick.

I got to get to the hospital.

All right, how's she doing?

She's okay. She's sleeping. She's, uh...

Oh, come on...

Kylie?

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God, Kylie... Davis, what is it?

Come on, Kylie.

She's not breathing
now. She's not breathing.

She's not breathing?

Check her airway.

How? She's a baby. How?

Okay, tilt her head
back... if you see anything

turn her over and pat her on the back.

No, there's nothing. She's clear.

Why isn't she breathing?
There's nothing in there.

Uh, okay, um, start mouth-to-mouth.

Mouth-to-mouth?

You can do it, Davis. You can do it.

She's got little lungs, so little breaths.

Hurry. Now.

Come on.

Come on, Kylie.

I don't think it's working, Carlos.

Listen to me, listen to me.

Put your mouth over her mouth and nose.

Keep doing it. Remember, little breaths.

You can do this, Ty. I know you can.

Come on, Kylie, come
on, please, please, please.

Please, come on, wake up, wake up.

Come on. Come on, Kylie, please, come on.

All right, she's breathing.

Okay. She's breathing.

All right, we're about two minutes out.

Okay.

Surprise!

Oh, look at that.

Oh, wow. How'd you do, Mommy?

How'd you do?

Flying colors, right?

You kicked butt. Yeah, I don't know.

You don't know.

Oh, my God, this is
such a great-looking cake.

We made it ourselves!

Wait a minute, Faith.
You really don't know?

It was really hard.

But you were ready. I know, I thought I was

and then, I don't know,
then I was drawing blanks.

Are you saying you might have failed?

But...

you knew that stuff...
You knew it up and down.

I know, I think I got distracted.

Distracted?

Yeah, uh, I stopped by the house

on the way to the test, and, um...

Bosco, you know, got into this, uh...

Bosco. Go to your room. What?

Fred?

We don't get cake?

Yeah, we're going to have cake.

We're going to have
cake in five minutes, okay?

Will you just give us
five... minutes, all right?

It's not fair.

Five minutes. I love this cake.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

You can just stand there

and you're going to tell me

that Bosco distracted
you from nailing this test?

Is that what happened?

I don't know, maybe I just choked.

That's crap. You don't choke.

You could've taken this
test hanging by your ankles

and you would have passed it.

But you know what, this is my career...

No, it's not! It's our life!

It's about a better life for yourself

and for your kids and for me.

You let Bosco get in the way of that.

No, Bosco had nothing to do with this.

It was me.

Yeah, yeah, defend him, as usual.

Come on, Fred. Where are you...

Fred... come on, don't leave.

Why? What do you care?

Come on, Fred.

I need to walk...

get all these stupid ideas

about a house on the island out of my head.

Come on, Fred...

They still don't know?

Uh... could be bacterial meningitis.

Really?

They're giving her
antibiotics just in case.

At any rate, she could've easily died.

Glad you were there.

Yeah. Yeah, me, too.

Oh...

It's okay. She's going to be all right.

She's going to be all right.

You know, when I was about ten years old

I broke my ankle playing soccer

and, uh, all I remember was

crying at the hospital,
not because of the pain

but because my foster parents were too busy

to be there.

There was nobody looking in the glass.

I'm not going to let
that happen with Kylie.

Hi. Hi.

I thought you were Fred.

He, um, he locked himself out.

Are you all right?

Can we talk? Yeah. Come in.

How'd the test go?

Not so good.

Really? Yeah.

And Fred's really upset.

I can't imagine you not passing.

Yeah, well, anyway...

You all right?

Swersky came down pretty hard?

Suspended for a week.

Desk duty for another week after that.

Mandatory counseling.

Well... that's not so bad, Bosco

considering.

You know, I... I got down there

right when the second tower

was being hit. What?

They were already jumping
from the North Tower.

People falling, you know?

And I'm watching them... all the way down.

There was nothing I could do.

There was nothing that any of us could do.

They were just falling.

But so hard and so fast, and then...

it seemed like it took forever.

Ten seconds, 15... I don't even know.

I saw a couple of people

holding hands.

Faith, I saw women
holding their dresses down.

And that sound... that thump.

And I'm just standing there.

I'm just... I'm just standing
there doing nothing.

I pointed a couple of people
this way and that way, but...

I was frozen.

It was like I was frozen.

I just... I was numb.

I couldn't believe it.

And then...

and then there was this... this rumble.

It was like nothing I ever heard before.

This huge wave of sound.

So I ran.

I ran away, Faith.

Bosco, the tower was coming down.

I just... I ran. I kept running.

I remember, I just kept
running. I kept running.

And that... that... that cloud came

and I couldn't see a thing.

I could see nothing.

It was just pitch-black.

But I was still running.

I couldn't... I couldn't breathe.

And I knew that was it.

I must've run right into a building

'cause that's when I
finally stopped running.

Everybody ran.

I didn't go back.

Yes, you did.

I sat on the street, and I just...

I couldn't, I couldn't,
I could not go back.

Bosco, I saw you there.

I sat there. I was...

I was afraid.

Bosco, I saw you there.

You were helping people.

No. Later. You saw me later.

'Cause I sat there.

It must have been

for like...

It just must've been for an hour.

I was there sitting for an hour.

I don't know how long.

I could've been there for two hours.

Bosco, you were probably in shock.

Faith, I ran.

God help me, I ran.

Bosco...

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's all right.

It's all right. It's okay.
