[Captioning sponsored by NBC

Come on.

Where the hell is Sehorn?

Still seven, seven?

Yeah, but the Broncos are driving.

Fine by me. I drafted Griese.

This more Fantasy Football?

Season's only one day old

I'm sick of hearing about it already.

Yo, Frankie.

What the hell was that?



Springs is giving Smith
way too big a cushion.

Smith was All-Pro.

Get out of here.

Hey, Jimmy, game's on.

Doherty, are you sleeping?

I was.

Don't you want to watch the game?

Hmm, no.

I thought every guy had
to watch every single came

like it was encoded somewhere
deep down in the male DNA.

Oh, God.

Joey's been sick.

I was up with him most of last night.

Oh, he got a cold?



Some kind of stomach thing.

You know, he comes into my room around 1:00

says he doesn't feel good

and he throws up all over the bed.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

So, I changed the sheets.

I get us both cleaned up.

He crawls back into bed with me

and pukes all over everything again.

So is he with Kim tonight?

No. He's with his grandmother.

How's Kim doing?

Not so good.

Is she coming back to work?

Who knows?

At least I get to spend
more time with Joey.

Yeah.

Quality time, like last night.

Oh, man.

What's the score?

I don't know, but I heard
some groaning down there

so that can't be good.

Mm.

Well, I think I'm going to go check it out.

Oh, man, I sure hope it's slow tonight.

The kid's killing me.

I can't believe it.

First Giants game of the season

Monday night football,
and I'm stuck working.

Yeah, well, right now you're not working.

You're staring at a bunch
of revolving desserts.

Would you decide, please?

Is that fresh?

No.

It's three weeks old... the
way our customers like it.

What about the rice pudding?

Bosco...

The German Chocolate cake looks good.

You recommend

the German Chocolate cake?

Delicious.

Hmm.

We'll take a piece of the Bundt cake.

Two forks.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

So check it out.

I got the game taping.

As soon as we're off, I head straight home.

Pop a beer, a little Pringles.

Monday Night mayhem, baby.

Giants, baby.

You're going to watch the game at midnight?

Yeah. I just wish my remote
could shut Dennis Miller up.

You're going to hear the
score before you get home.

Nope.

Somebody's going to tell you.

I hear the word "Giants" or "game"

coming out of anybody's
mouth, I'm covering my ears.

Midnight, watching a football game.

It's pathetic.

What's with you tonight?

Nothing. I feel fine.

You don't sound fine.

What, Fred piss you off again?

Leave it alone, all right?

It can't be your time of the month.

Your uniform's too loose.

Pretty wild about Sullivan, huh?

Good for him.

You weren't upset you weren't invited?

I don't think it's a formal
invitation kind of thing.

Yeah, Davis is going.

So, we've worked with
him longer than Davis has.

You don't even like him.

Sure I do.

Can I get some milk?

You like Sully?

I don't hate him or anything.

Oh. Well, that would put
you at the top of my guest list.

Are you sure there's nothing

going on at home you want to talk about?

Damn, Sullivan.

I never would have
guessed he had it in him.

Oh, oh!

Five.

Nice.

I'll see you.

That's all right.

We can go over here.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

What's it look like I'm doing?

Watching TV. Right.

I've been looking all over for you.

I'm right here.

You're getting married tomorrow.

Yeah.

So, I'm your best man.

I'm supposed to be showing you a wild time

on your last night of freedom.

Let's go.

You're not my best man.

You're a witness.

There's no best man.

I'm your friend.

Friends are supposed
to throw bachelor parties.

Where are the... Ukrainians?

The women took Tatiana out

and the men are hunkered
down around nickel slots.

I didn't know they had nickel slots.

I thought I was slipping away

for a small private ceremony

and now I got hotel rooms

for half of Eastern
Europe on my credit card.

Can I get you something?

No, thanks, we're on our way out.

Thank you, miss.

No, we're not on our way out.

Yes, we are. Sully, we're in Atlantic City.

You're getting married in...

less than 12 hours, and
you're sitting in a bar by yourself

watching TV... it's not right.

I won't allow it to happen. Let's roll.

Davis.

Listen, I...

I appreciate you coming
all the way down here

to witness the ceremony.

I really do, but I'm 44 years old.

You know, I don't want
to go out and get drunk

and waste a lot of cash on strippers.

Yeah, but I do.

So, who's stopping you?

What?

It's tradition, all right?

I'll bet you Tatiana's
girlfriends got her drunk

trying to pull a G-string

off of some male stripper with her teeth.

They had tickets for the Pointer Sisters.

Ah

That's what they told you, my friend.

You're not going to
let go of this, are you?

You do not want to be
the only man in America

to get married without a hangover, do you?

All right.

Yes!

But we are going to be back by 1:00 AM

and nobody touches me.

No touching, right.

Right.

Man, I'm bored.

I like it busy.

Giants better get it together.

This game's getting away from them.

Good multiple gunshot victim

or a taxi clipping a guy in a crosswalk

and the day just flies by.

I'll see if I can order up a tragedy

so the shift can go by faster for you.

Come on.

You don't like it more when
there's something to do?

You close on that apartment yet?

Yeah, man, two days ago.

When you moving in?

Uh, it needs some work.

What kind of work?

I don't know.

It depends on how much
time I can spend over there.

You're going to fix it up yourself?

Yeah.

You ever done that before?

I worked construction in college.

Oh, man.

You're not going to be in
there for a year, maybe two.

It's not going to take that long.

Uh-huh.

I'm not planning on doing that much, man.

The floors, a new kitchen.

Replace the tile in the bathroom.

It's an old building, right?

Which means it's probably going

to need all new electrical, plumbing.

Is it copper pipe or cast iron?

If it's cast iron

you're going to have to
rip the whole thing out.

And what about lead paint?

Is there any lead paint?

Adam 5-5-3, LOL labored
breathing, history of asthma.

6-1-6-9-9, apartment seven golf.

Great.

I thought you wanted to stay busy.

A granny who can't find her inhaler?

Adam 55-3.

6-1-6-9-9, apartment seven G.

Bet it's got all cast iron pipe.

You're going to have
to redo the whole thing.

The whole thing.

Griese drops back, fakes to Davis

looking for Smith down the sideline.

It's 11:20.

What's your point?

It's 11:20... that's my point.

We get off in ten minutes.

So?

So, we answer this call.

By the time we get her loaded up

drive her over to Mercy,
get back to the house

sign off, it's going to be

about 1:00, if we're lucky.

Sounds about right.

Doc, Doc, Doc...

Come on, it's Lena.

Let's tell Dispatch we need gas.

See if they'll hold her
for the next shift, huh?

Carlos, the call came in on our shift.

So, hypothetically, you're
driving behind an armored car

the backdoors swing open,
a big bag of money falls out

just lands right there in front of you.

Do you pick it up and run like hell

or do you turn it in?

Hello?

Fire Department paramedics.

All right.

A big bag of money?

It happens.

I saw it on the news
just a couple weeks ago.

And this has what to do
with us taking this call?

$400,000 in unmarked bills.

Do you take them, or do you give them back?

You give them back.

There's probably a big
cash reward, or something.

A couple grand.

The other way, if you get caught

you're going to do time.

No, you won't.

Finders keepers.

"Finders keepers."

It's a well-established legal principle.

You find it, you keep it.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I think that was one of the
cornerstones of the Magna Carta.

The what?

Who is it?

The paramedics, ma'am.

It's 11:26.

Come in.

Oh, thank you

so much for coming.

I haven't been feeling well.

Mm-hmm. Well, uh, what
seems to be the problem?

Well, I don't know.

I feel kind of weak all over.

My stomach hurts, and my
back, and I've been a little dizzy.

Well, have you had plenty of fluids?

Oh, yes, fluids, yes.

What about eating?

What have you had to eat today?

Oh, my.

Well, I had some toast,
and I had a little chicken broth

earlier.

Well, what about a meal?

Some vegetables, a little chicken or fish?

You know, some meat?

My hip hurts, too.

And I have had this ceaseless ringing

in my ears all day.

I really think

I need to go to the hospital.

Okay, ma'am, we'll have to
get some vitals here first, though.

CVC, chem 7, an angiogram

maybe a full body scan MRI, Doctor?

Why don't you just...

take her temperature?

Supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow.

Indian summer.

Terrific.

Your mood bring me down.

You know why?

'Cause in 15 minutes from now

I'm going to be watching my boys

take apart those mile-high morons.

Hey, Boscorelli, Yokas

a couple of us are heading over to Finn's.

You want to come along?

No, thanks.

No, thanks, guys.

I got an early morning
appointment tomorrow.

Hey, uh, you believe that game?

Man, the Giants...

No! No, I don't want to know.

Shut up.

What?

Shut up.

He taped the game.

He's going home to watch it.

Man, what a monumental...

Hey!

What can I tell you?

He's kind of an idiot.

31-20! 31-20!

The Giants suck!

Broncos own your ass, New York!

He started yelling like that

during the fourth quarter over at Clark's.

Nearly started a riot.

31-20!

Here. No.

Come on, give it...

No, no. Come on!

Oh-ho, man!

Oh, man...!

No.

No, thanks. Really, thanks.

Oh, come on.

No, no, no, don't stop
now, don't stop now, baby.

This is his last chance.

He's getting married tomorrow.

Handle your business.

You're a dead man, Davis.

Davis...

He's getting married tomorrow.

Oh, this is so great!

This is so great!

Anybody been to Jamaica?

Yeah, it's nice down there.

I'm thinking about making
reservations in January.

Tell you what... St. Barts is nice.

Bahamas are great.

Ah, they run some great deals

down in Jamaica.

Two of us can fly, meal
coupons, nice hotel... 1,000 bucks.

Chamomile?

I can't get back to sleep.

Oh, well, I think

we have some Sleepytime
around here somewhere.

This stuff works.

I give it to Joey when he can't sleep.

Yeah?

It's actually Kim's idea.

How long were you guys together?

Five long years.

Yeah, well, then... Joey.

Yeah.

He's had a rough time, though

with everything I put him through

and now Kim's problems.

Is she getting any help?

I don't know.

Hope this stuff works, huh?

Engine 11, Squad 55

respond to pull box 7-1-4-2

at 1-0-4 and three.

The Phantom Box.

I ever catch this guy

I'm going to tie him behind the engine

and make him follow behind us all night.

All right, let's go.

Maybe it's a real one this time.

Yeah, and JLo cooked
me breakfast this morning.

Now, gentlemen.

Hi, you've reached Kim and Joey.

We can't get to the phone right now, but...

What, Mom?

Oh, right... leave your message...

and a number where we can call you back

and we'll... call you back.

Kim? Kim, are you there?

It's Mom.

Kim?

Please pick up if you're there.

Kim?

Kim, are you there?

Anybody see a fire?

Come on out where we
can see you, you bastard!

Put a sock in it, DK.

Real good use of your
taxpayer dollars, huh?

Let's go.

Faith?

Hey.

What are you doing?

I couldn't sleep

so I just made some hot chocolate.

What are you reading?

Those pamphlets.

Again?

Yeah.

What for?

I'm trying to educate myself.

You're just making yourself crazy.

What if the biopsy was positive?

It's not.

You don't know that. Yeah, I do.

Oh, really? What did you
do? You called Dr. Case?

You got the results already? You're fine.

Then why doesn't he just say it?

If it was good news, why
doesn't he just call me?

Why do we have to go down to his office?

He wants to give us
the good news in person.

Fred? Why can't it be that?

Why the hell not?

I'm going back to bed.

We have to talk about this.

There's nothing to talk about.

You're fine.

What if I'm not?

Keep your voice down. You'll wake the kids.

Why won't you talk about this?

Because you don't have cancer.

Kids'll be up in four hours.

Get some sleep.

I'm telling you.

ESU is where the action is.

Hmm.

Bunch of glory hogs.

Stupid.

They have armor, all right? M16s.

Yeah, they need that stuff

because they get shot at all the time.

You ever shot an M16?

For the same money that we make.

It's for the best of the best.

It's like Special Forces.

More like Special Olympics.

You guys are just jealous 'cause
there's no way you could get in.

Why the hell would I want to? Why?

Do you want to know why?

Why'd I want to get
shot at? Sullivan married!

It's hard to believe.

Yeah, what's she like, huh?

The bride. You seen her?

She's hot.

Russian or something.

How hot?

Playboy Bunny, Moscow branch hot.

She's young, too.

Well, on that depressing note

I better get home to my wife.

She's Jenny Craig "before" photo hot.

Yeah, I better take off, too.

What are you talking
about? Where you going?

It's only... 3:15.

Yeah, my girls will be banging around

the bathroom in three hours.

Want to share a cab uptown?

Yeah, sure.

Hey?

Girl down at the end of the bar

has been checking you out,
if you're feeling lonely, boss.

That blonde?

No, the other one.

Big nose?

It's not that big.

She's been staring at
you for the last half hour.

The brunette?

Yeah.

Yeah, there are only
two girls in the entire bar.

It's 3:00 in the morning.

Do you have other plans?

Knock 'em dead, Tiger.

Good luck, stud muffin.

All right.

Engine 11, Squad 5-5

respond to pull box 7-1-4-2

at 104 and three.

He didn't say 7142 again, did he?

Yes, he did.

Tomorrow night

I'm getting my deer rifle.

I'm going to sit on one of
the roofs across the street.

I'll bring the ammo.

Jimmy?

Hey, Jimmy?

Jimmy?

We got a call.

Yeah. Okay.

Where?

Don't ask.

You've got to be kidding?

Okay...

okay.

I feel much better now.

Done?

No, hold on.

Yeah.

I'm done, I'm good.

Okay, let's go.

I need to take a little breather.

You having a good time?

So, you having a good time, or what?

You having a good time, or what, huh?

That is all that's important to me

is you having a good
time on your last night

as a single American male.

Yeah, well, you know,
watching you puke on the beach

is a lifelong fantasy of mine.

I think it was the tequila.

Or the Stoli shots.

Yeah, it could have been the shots.

Or the boilermakers.

I had boilermakers?

Dos, amigo.

I shouldn't mix, I know that.

So, why do I mix?

I have no clue.

Why do I mix?

I don't know.

Eight hours.

Eight hours what?

Till you are a married man.

Yeah?

It's wild, isn't it?

Getting married in eight hours.

Sitting out here with me.

No, that's more like sad.

So, what's it feel like?

What's what feel like?

What are we talking about right now?

Your last moments as a bachelor.

Scary.

You scared? Yeah.

Man, I never figured I'd be 44
years old when I got married.

I dated lots of people.

And I figured it was just a matter of time.

But then, suddenly, it's 20 years later

and I'm still single.

I've been single a long time.

I mean, I'm kind of used to
things being a certain way.

You know, and not having to ever compromise

'cause it was only me.

And... yeah, that's why I'm scared.

I'm scared that I'm too old

to be starting to learn
all this new stuff now.

I haven't been listening
to a word you were saying.

You sick...

You planning on having kids?

Tatiana says she would if I asked her.

Yeah? Yeah.

I mean, I think I'd be a good father.

I'm just, you know,
not getting any younger.

I mean, my old man was
20 years old when he had me.

I still want to be able
to chase down fly balls

play some one-on-one.

You know, I'll be pushing 60 years old.

Can you chase down fly balls now?

So, yeah, man, I'm scared, you know?

Aw, you're going to be great, man.

You're considerate, you're generous

you're fun to be with.

Hell, I wish I was marrying you.

Hey!

Shut...

No, seriously?

In all honesty?

I'm never going to find anybody

as perfect for me as you

so you better just give
me a big, old, sloppy...

Hey! No!

Right here on the boulevard, baby, come on.

No, take your hands...

Getting married tomorrow, John Sullivan.

Don't pay any attention to him.

You're going to be fine, man.

Don't be scared.

Taxi!

Taxi.

I don't think he's going to stop.

Ricky Stern crashes hard into the rail...

Sergei?

Yeah?

What are you doing?

Playing Nintendo.

Go in your room.

Doesn't work.

What time is it?

Um, I don't know.

Sergei, it's 6:00 in the morning.

And New York continues to lead the way.

Where's your mother?

Mmm, shower, I think.

Right.

Hey-hey-hey!

And New York continues to lead the race...

Hey.

Come on, man.

Ricky Stern crashes hard into the rail...

Wow, you got up.

Sergei woke me.

Mmm, I like this robe.

Do you think I can keep it?

We probably have to buy it.

Mmm.

You know that they have
Nintendo on the TV set?

Yeah. It's a great idea for kids, right?

Keep them busy.

So, did you have fun last night?

Sure. I had a little too
much to drink, though.

Mm-hmm. Me, too.

Here, take that aspirin.

Well, I had so much fun.

We went to the show

and then we played crabs

and I won.

Crap, with a "P."

Not much, but you know.

And you?

What did you do?

Oh, we, uh, you know

uh, had some drinks,
and just kicked around.

Nothing special.

Well, wait till you see

the wedding night outfit I have for you.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Can I have a little peek?

No.

Why?

Because it's surprise.

You know, I'm not even supposed
to be seeing you right now.

Supposed to be bad luck

to see the bride before the wedding.

Yeah? Why?

I have no idea.

Mmm.

Hey!

I love you.

What?

Nothing.

Sunny side up or over easy, Alex?

Oh, no, thanks, guys.

Come on, food's free
before the shift's over.

Nothing free about it.

Your house dues paid for that chow.

Exactly.

That's why I'm eating
before those hungry bastards

show up in an hour and clean us out.

The Mets better step it up.

Is Jimmy awake? He usually eats.

Still sleeping.

What a beautiful day.

Think I'm going out to the links

and play nine holes.

Whoo! That smells good, Billy.

Got a couple scrambling for me?

Coming right up, pal.

I'm reading that.

What, all at once?

Oh, man, look at this day.

I'm out in the water on the boat for sure.

Oh...

55 minutes, fellas.

55 minutes more of
nothing, and we're out of here.

He's late.

Only by a few minutes.

How can he be running late already?

We got to be his first appointment.

I don't know; maybe he went to vote.

No, he just wants to make sure we know

that his time is more
valuable than our time.

His time probably is more
valuable than our time.

The egos on these guys.

Well, he did graduate

from medical school, and we didn't.

So? Doesn't make him any better than me.

What was that?

What?

That shrug thing.

You think this guy's better than me?

I didn't say that.

But that's what you were thinking.

What are you, like, a mind reader now?

I'm missing work for this.

You know what?

Go, then.

If you don't want to wait, go.

I should.

We both should.

Yeah, it will really
tear him up if we leave.

Come on, we're out of here.

What? We're going.

Screw him.

Come on.

Uh, Faith, Fred.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I had an early surgery

that took a little longer than expected.

No problem.

How you doing?

Okay.

Kim?

Kim!

Kim?

Kim.

Kim, are you in there?

Kim, are you okay in there?!

I'm fine.

Hang on a sec.

I was sleeping, Mom.

I called you all night.

Oh, that was you?

Thank you for helping me not get any sleep.

What's the matter, Mom...

Disappointed with my housekeeping skills?

I was calling you all night

because Joey wanted to talk to you.

He's sick, and he wanted
to talk to his mother.

Sick? What's the matter with him?

Stomach flu.

Jimmy had to work, and I think
Joey just wanted to talk to you.

Well, where is he now?

At school.

He's feeling better today.

Maybe he should have stayed
home another day if he was that sick.

He was okay this morning,
or I wouldn't have let him go.

You know, you can't just let the phone

ring like that.

It scares the hell out of me!

I would have come over here
last night if I hadn't had Joey.

I almost called the police.

So, um...

what did you tell Joey
when you couldn't reach me?

That you must have been out.

Have you been out... at all?

Sure.

Yeah? Where?

I go out.

You want me to help you
go through some of this?

Mmm... no.

You probably have a lot
of unopened bills in here.

Yeah, I-I'll get to it, thanks.

How long you going to do this?

What?

This.

Oh, man.

Milk and sugar, like always?

Are you seeing anybody?

Like who?

I don't know.

A-a-a... a therapist.

A counselor.

A shrink.

Somebody who can help you

because it's apparent that you're not going

to let anybody who cares about you help.

You know what, Mom?

It's none of your damn business
who I'm seeing or not seeing.

I am sorry I didn't answer the phone

last night when Joey was sick, okay?

But I will answer it next time.

Great.

Mom...

I'll see you when I see you, then.

What does that mean?

Fred...

I'm just saying.

What does it mean?

Removing the tumor
will give us a better idea

of what we're working with.

"Working with?"

Didn't you say it was nothing?

I said it was probably nothing.

So, you were wrong.

The biopsy was not encouraging.

Why can't you say you were wrong?

Fred...

He can't just say he's wrong.

Please.

So, what happens if you go in and there's

more than you...? I'll be outside.

What?

Come on, I'm not
going to sit with this guy.

He's upset.

He needs some air.

Cast iron.

Just great.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody here?

Huh?

Okay.

Okay.

Hi.

Hey.

I-I didn't have anything

so I went out and got coffee and bagels.

You hungry?

Um, no, I got to get to work, actually.

Oh.

That was really nice, though.

I thought you might be hungry.

Where are we?

My apartment.

No, no, I mean, in the city.

Mercer and Prince.

We're in SoHo?

You sure?

No, I really got to go.

I will take the coffee, though.

Oh.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Well, I should, uh...

What the hell was that?

What was that? What was that?

We're still downtown.

I told my boss I'd only
need a couple hours.

Well, they'll be all right

a little while longer without you.

Yeah, it's only package delivery, right?

What is with you, huh?

Nothing.

I hate these damn things.

Try to relax, huh?

Perfect!

All right, cavalry's here.

Busy night?

Just that same box again.

The one on 104th and Third?

Yeah, a few times.

Boys, right on time.

Walsh, I'm heading to
the marina. Need a ride?

Sure, I'll get my stuff.

Still pouring cash

into that garbage scow
you call a speedboat?

Keep laughing, Riskin. Next
summer, you'll be begging to borrow it.

Better not be a pile of
dirty dishes in that sink.

You guys are the ones
leaving the dirty dishes.

Walsh, let's go!

Hey, Dave. How you doing?

Terrible, my knee's been
giving me a lot of prob...

Squad 5-5 and Ladder 100

respond to fifth alarm box 8-0-9-7.

West and Liberty.

Hello?

Kim? Kim? Kim? You there?

Whoa, whoa, Mom?

This is Mom.

Wait, slow down.

Turn the TV on.

No, I can't understand...

Turn the TV on.

What?

No, I-I don't have it on. Hang on.

Kim, you there?

I'm going to go get Joey.

Mom, are you all right?

We're good, man, relax.
We have plenty of time.

You look good.

Feel good?

Nervous.

Me, too.

We don't need boutonnieres.

Sure, we do.

The buttonhole in this lapel's

not even open for a flower.

They give you a pin for that, man.

Over here, right?

This place is like a maze, man.

What the hell's that all about?

Maybe somebody hit the million-dollar slot.

In a bar?

Hold it, Tom, we're coming.

So, pull the kids out of
school and take them home.

And I'll call you when I
can. Where you going?

You don't even know if they need you.

Police.

Police.

Fred, get the kids.

And go home.

I'll call you.
