Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 3, Episode 21 - Two Hundred and Thirty-Three Days - full transcript
Alex's father is found, and the funeral held 233 days after 9/11.
Previously on Third Watch...
Don't forget, when you
get inside, don't stop.
Keep going all the way through the back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a nice little operation,
guys. Last paper.
Her father's a chief, he's still missing.
He is missing. We haven't found him yet.
No, I mean, I know there's
not much hope but you don't,
you know, know him.
He's...
strong.
Tatiana came back this morning.
Did her son come back with her?
Guess she wants him to stay a little longer
until she can make sure
that Chevchenko has
other things on his mind.
She brought up Chevchenko?
Yeah, but only in passing.
All right, thank you.
Taylor.
Yeah?
They think they found your father.
Mom?
Mom.
Alex.
Hi.
What time is it?
It's a little after four.
Are you all right?
They found Daddy.
Are they sure?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I just, ah, couldn't find my keys.
I thought they might
be in one of the coats.
You start the coffee?
Yeah.
The keys are in the dish.
Oh, I thought I'd look there.
If you want to ask me something
then you should just ask.
Where the hell you been for two months?
With my cousin, I tell you.
In Ithaca.
Where is Sergei?
Sergei, he's safe.
You don't want to tell me...
because you don't trust me.
I'm your husband, you know?
He's not your son.
This cousin of yours, in Ithaca,
man or woman?
Oh, my God.
You're jealous?
Tatiana, you've been gone for eight weeks.
Eight weeks!
Her name...
is Nadia.
Nadia. Mm-hm.
In Ithaca? Mm-hm.
Come on...
I don't want another man.
I just want you.
Hey.
Hi.
You okay? Fine, thanks.
Hang in there, kid. All right?
Hey. Hey.
You're working today?
I'm on the schedule.
Hey, Lou.
You don't have to work today.
I'm good.
How is your mother?
She's okay.
I'd rather work, if that's okay with you.
If there's anything I can do.
You think I could get back on the squad
for a shift this week?
Sure.
Alex Taylor?
Yeah, her dad was a battalion chief.
The paramedic?
Yup.
That's the one Davis was seeing.
Hmm, fries.
You ate all the fries?
I didn't think you wanted any.
Both bags?
I thought you were dieting.
I'm eating a cheeseburger!
You tell me to go back
and get more, I will.
Forget it.
I just wanted a couple.
A couple?
Yeah, I didn't want a whole bag.
I just wanted like, one or two.
Here.
I don't want that.
Why not?
'Cause it's cold,
because it was on the bottom of the bag.
Bosco.
What?
Is that Frisker?
Who? What was his name? Frisker?
Remember him, like 3 years back the rapist,
the old ladies.
Where? Right there, green shirt.
No way he's out.
Maybe he escaped or something.
He was skinnier.
No, that is definitely him.
Yo!
Frisker!
Son of a bitch.
Get your ass up against that wall.
Hands where we can see them.
What? What did I do? I
was, I was just walking.
Turn around.
You remember us?
55 David to Central, can
you run a warrant check
on the last name Frisker,
what's your first name, jag-off?
David.
Frisker David, possible escapee.
I didn't escape, they let me out.
Ten four, stand by...
You're out on parole, already?
No, I won my appeal.
I'm free.
What's that?
What's what?
Book of matches.
It's a book of matches.
Yeah, you've been
staring at it for half an hour.
The Gold Stallion.
You ever heard of it?
No.
Gentlemen's club out in Brooklyn.
A gentlemen's club, oh.
You're stepping out on me now, Sull?
You need some company, I'll tag along,
keep you out of trouble.
I found these in the
pocket of Tatiana's coat.
Oh.
Now what the hell is she doing
with a book of matches
from a strip joint in Brooklyn
in her pocket?
You set a day yet, for the services?
Yeah, Thursday.
Ah, Good Shepherd.
Hmm.
It's a beautiful place.
Yeah, my parents got married there.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Department helping you
out with all the arrangements?
Look, you need anything
you just let me know, okay?
Sure.
You know, I thought it would be
a relief to get some of that closure
that everybody is always
talking about on Oprah.
He was in the lobby of the south tower
and that's where they found him.
You know, they have that
command post setup down there.
Ah, I thought I was cried out months ago...
guess I was wrong.
You just let him go?
Not me...
Come on, the guy tied up three old ladies
with duct tape.
He tortured them and then he raped them.
What do you want me to say?
I want you to say that
you're gonna re-try him.
Thank you. Or, or not.
He got legal aid to
file an appeal claiming,
the judge's instructions
to the jury were improper.
Appeals court agreed,
they overturned the conviction.
The jury instructions?
Hey, I'm with you.
You've convicted him
before, convict him again.
We only have the one victim ID.
I remember her, she was rock solid.
She would testify again.
Well, I'm sure she
would, if she wasn't dead.
Last year. Colon cancer.
He's gonna do it again.
I got to go.
The jury instructions?
Yes, it is, pull over for a sec, all right?
All right, just give me a minute.
Hey, Kimmy.
Oh, hey. Sorry.
You riding with Taylor today?
Yeah.
She's inside getting some coffee.
Thanks. Yep.
Hey.
Hey.
Just heard about your dad.
You okay?
God, I wish everyone
would stop asking me that,
I'm fine.
Sorry, um...
look, you want to get
together later talk, whatever.
I should get back to my mother's.
Right, right.
Um...
okay, I'll see you around.
The criminal justice system
is really screwed up.
You just figured that out?
I mean, a judge says a few wrong words
and this bastard's back out on the street.
We could shoot him.
Dump him in the river.
Nobody would miss him.
Some days I really feel like
we're wasting our time out here.
Some days.
I mean O.J. slaughters two people
and he's playing golf in Florida.
Found innocent by a jury of his peers.
So what's the plan?
We gonna follow him
around for a little while,
hope he does something stupid?
Oh, he's gonna do something stupid.
This idiot
crawled up out of the primordial ooze
of the shallow end of the gene pool.
Lawyers, they all think it's a big game.
You know, everything in the abstract.
Some judge upstate
reviewing jury instructions?
I mean, it's just words
on a page, you know?
He didn't have to walk into that apartment
and see the scared look
on that old woman's face
duct taped to her bed.
55 David...
Response for 419-106-223.
We're gonna answer that?
419-106-223.
Hey, Alex.
Hey, Tommy.
Hi.
Where's my mom?
Hey, you doing okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
So everybody's here?
Yeah, pretty much.
Hey, watch out, Mike's here.
Oh, he's been drinking?
What do you think?
They have to build
something that will bring in jobs.
Lots of the downtown
businesses depend on it.
They should just leave
that big ugly-ass hole
so people remember.
Like anybody could forget.
What you doing dishes for, Ma?
Yeah. That's what I said.
Keeping busy.
Say, what?
Princess, you're just gonna
stand there ignoring me.
Hi, Uncle Mike.
How's my girl?
Oh, she's fine, stop feeling her up.
How are you really?
I'm okay.
Yeah, me too.
Don't start crying, Michael.
I swear to God you get
me started crying again,
I'm gonna kill you.
Hey, hey.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
I'm trying to prevent you
from getting your ass kicked.
No, I can take care of myself, okay?
Sully.
Miss, you know this girl?
She might have worked here one time.
Just take a look at the picture.
That was smooth, that
was really, that was smooth.
Yeah, well, you know.
Stop, Sully, you look like a cop,
a cop or a pervert,
so either way no one's gonna, come here,
either way nobody's talking to you.
You got any money on you?
Money?
Unbelievable.
So?
She's been waiting tables
there for a couple months.
He says he hasn't seen her in
a few days. And? Come on, Ty.
Well, he said, uh,
that her name's Natasha.
Natasha? Natasha Gurin.
He said that she was
always really nice to him
but he tried to keep away from her
because she was in tight with the owner.
He's supposed to be like this, you know,
real bad ass kind of guy.
He saw him, uh,
beat some bartender half to death
with a baseball bat a couple weeks ago
when he caught him skimming.
He's a Russian guy.
Chevchenko.
Yeah?
Is Ty around?
It's 2 o'clock in the morning.
Yeah, sorry.
Is he here?
I don't think so.
Or you want to come in and wait?
You want a soda, beer or something?
Got any coffee? No.
If you want to watch
TV, keep it low, all right.
Didn't ask if I was okay.
You look okay.
Everybody else has been treating me
like I'm made out of glass.
What are we talking about?
My father.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Well, it's good that they found him, right?
Everybody else seems
to think so, I'm not so sure.
You know, I was hoping it would end
this whole limbo thing but I don't know.
I knew my dad was dead, somehow it just...
didn't seem real before,
like I could pretend he was only missing.
Well, now we're gonna bury him in two days
and it'll all be over,
all the waiting and crying
and people over at the house all the time,
they'll be gone
and we'll all just have to live
the rest of our lives without him.
I don't mind talking
to you about this more.
I'll go make some coffee.
Yeah.
I'm up now, anyway.
Wait, wait, God, no.
Go away!
I'll give you money, I got a DVD player...
Shut it up!
Okay, all right. Let's go.
Come on. No.
Man, please, please, please,
I told Randy I'd pay him back...
He usually gives me a couple of days.
Oh, God, I'm begging you.
No! No!
No!
Aw!
Aw.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, please.
The police were chasing you?
Please.
Don't do this to me.
Please.
So, you ran into this bar
to get away,
you went right through the bar
to the backroom, remember?
Yes, yes.
Yes, I remember, I remember, I remember.
That was my bar.
What? Please. My backroom.
I ran, they were chasing me.
Right into my bar.
Please.
Please.
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Oh, my God.
It's quite a coincidence.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I...
I ran, I ran, they made me do it.
Please don't do this to me.
Who made you?
I ain't got nothing on a Tatiana Deschenko.
Can you try Natasha Gurin?
Sure.
Mm, got her.
Want me to print that out for you?
Yeah, thanks.
You going to Chief Taylor's funeral?
Me, Billy and D.K. we're carpooling over,
you want us to swing by for you?
Yeah, that'd be great.
Sure.
You need a hand?
Sure.
Oh, he's got to have
made us sitting out here.
That's good.
He knows we're watching him
and maybe he'll lay off the old ladies.
You think that redhead
would be smiling so big
if she knew the guy chopping vegetables
was a granny rapist?
How are your lungs doing?
I'm okay.
Are you getting them checked regularly?
For what?
From all that junk that you inhaled.
It's in there, there's
nothing to do about it.
The doctor said to come back
if I had trouble breathing again.
The city should be doing more.
Like what?
Half of lower Manhattan
inhaled the same stuff I did.
Yeah, well, at least they
could let us know what was in it.
The EPA tested it.
I'd rather not know.
55 David, from Central,
please proceed back to the house.
The house?
55, David on the way.
What now?
Your mom having people over after?
Yeah, half the department.
Can I bring something?
Ah, I think she's got it covered.
Well, I make a mean bread pudding.
Sure, sounds great.
You know, I, I never met your dad,
but from what I hear,
he was a hell of a guy. Yeah.
I mean, if half the stories are true,
he was a great fireman.
He must've been proud when
you joined the department.
Well, he wanted my
brother Adam to take the test,
but Adam...
didn't want anything to do with it.
So I stepped in to carry
on the family tradition.
That takes guts. What's he doing now?
He's a nurse.
A nurse. Really?
In Houston.
Wow.
He turned down being a firefighter
to go to nursing school.
That must've really lit up your dad.
Not as much as the gay thing.
Wow.
How'd your dad deal with that?
Ah, not well at first.
You know, he got over it.
Well, people surprise you.
Yeah.
Yep.
They call you in too?
What the hell's he doing here?
He's talking to an ADA.
About what?
About that little jog he took to the bar,
and it gets even better.
Crap.
Good news is Frankie's a junky.
So Lieutenant doesn't believe him
but that district attorney is
paying pretty close attention.
What is going on?
Nothing, go get a soda.
So if he'll flip we lose the bust.
Somebody want to tell me what's going on?
Believe me, the less you
know about this the better.
Sully, Yokas.
This guy is a two-time loser
but he's convincing.
That lawyer down there
is making a lot of noise
about filing a suit,
cops trampled on his civil rights,
etcetera, etcetera, it
was a good bust, right?
Yeah, boss, it was a good caller.
That jack off from the DA's office
has probably gonna
offer to drop the charges
in exchange for a promise
from Mr. Resnick not to file a suit.
Justice in motion, huh?
Well, it's not my call,
but with this kid changing his story,
there's no chance for conviction anyway.
Very clever.
Stay away from me, Resnick.
Chase a suspect into a bar,
too bad the suspect
came forward with the truth.
Yeah, I'm sure that was purely voluntary.
Excellent grounds for a civil suit,
police trampling on the
rights provided to all citizens
under the constitution.
I'm warning you, Resnick.
Back off!
My client isn't by nature, litigious.
He's learnt to distrust the system
and would prefer to
resolve things privately.
He'd be willing to abandon
the idea of filing suit.
In exchange for what?
For Officer Sullivan leaving him
and his business pursuits
alone, permanently.
Kiss my ass, Resnick.
Sully, back up.
Come on, walk away.
This still about the woman, Tatiana?
Don't you say... Hey, Sully, whoa, whoa.
Don't you say her name!
Do not say her name!
Sully, walk away. Don't you say her name!
You hear me, you son of a bitch!
Sully, walk away right now.
Knock it off, knock it off.
Sully, walk away right now.
Hey, cool down.
What the hell is with you and that guy?
That boy wasn't too smart.
Tell me what's going on?
It's not your business.
No, it is my business, Sully.
You just made it my business.
Look, you got something going on at home,
you're right it's not my concern
but you bring it to the house
and it's my business and everybody else's.
I ran priors on that other
name we found for Tatiana.
This... long time ago, you know.
I married this woman, man.
You have to just, just talk to her,
you got to give her a
chance to explain. Explain?
I mean you loved her yesterday right,
what's changed?
This...
this changed.
You just talk to her, Sull, all right?
I thought you quit?
Uh, I did.
Well, look at you.
Where is Adam?
Still upstairs getting dressed.
We've got to go pretty soon.
Well, he'll be down soon.
Come here, sit.
I've got something for you.
Go on, open it.
It's the diamond from your
grandma Mary's engagement ring.
Your father had it mounted.
He was going to give it to
you on your wedding day,
but I thought maybe
you'd like to have it now.
You know he never wanted to be a fireman,
it was your grandfather's idea.
Your dad...
he resisted.
He wanted to finish college,
be a teacher.
Then I got pregnant with Adam.
It's a good job.
He took to it right away,
after all that arguing
with your grandfather.
I think maybe that's why
he didn't argue with Adam
that much about it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
He was so proud of you.
When you graduated from the academy...
he held my hand and he cried like a baby.
He loved you very much,
you know that, right?
Better go hurry up your brother.
You look beautiful, Mom.
Black becomes me.
"I am the resurrection and the life,
sayeth the Lord, he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live.
And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me
shall never die.
I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
And though this body be destroyed,
yet shall I see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold,
and not as a stranger."
He was attempting to rape her
when a neighbor heard her screams
and called us.
Now the guy cut himself pretty badly,
on the fire escape ladder, running,
when he heard the sirens.
We checked the ERs, no luck.
Partial description, green shirt,
combat boots,
approximately 6 feet tall,
muscular build.
Let's get this dirt bag.
He protected our city on the frontlines
and he died doing what he loved.
We won't soon forget him
or the hundreds of other heroes
who gave their lives to save
thousands on that terrible day.
We...
we know he's in good hands now,
in God's hands,
but we wish he was still here
in our hands.
Frisker. Where the hell is he?
Where the hell is he?
He's not working today.
I would like to thank you all for coming.
I knew Angus had a lot of friends
by how hard it was to
keep beer in the refrigerator,
but I didn't know he had this many friends.
I have prayed for this day,
and I have dreaded this day.
I didn't want him left there.
And I thank God,
for giving him back to us
a simple joy so many families
will never be able to experience.
To all of you that he served with,
I know if he were here
he would like you to know
how proud he was
to have been a New York City firefighter.
How privileged...
he felt to have worked alongside you.
Ang, I loved you the first time I saw you.
I miss you, sweetheart.
I'll see you soon.
Damn it.
Looks like he may have cut himself.
I see him at the park sometimes,
playing basketball.
On the ground.
On the ground.
On the ground right
now, put your hands down
where we can see them,
right now on the ground!
We got him.
Let me see your hands.
Let me see your hand.
Nice cut, Frisker.
You got to have somebody look at that.
Detail, hand salute!
Ready, two.
You stay away from my family.
Stay away from mine.
I won't ask you again.
We're not finished, you and me.
Come here.
You know, I'll never get used it.
I always hated them.
I thought they were butt-ugly
and now I miss them.
It's hard to imagine.
Still doesn't feel real to me.
Me neither.
You know, he went there to put out a fire
and to save people.
233 days. What?
Uh, it's been 233 days since September 11.
I've been to 28 funerals
and memorial services,
and I should have gone to more,
but some days I just couldn't face it.
233 days and in a few
weeks it's gonna be over.
Everyone and everything
that was gonna be found
will have been found.
Won't be any place left to dig.
And then we're gonna
have to just walk away.
And there will be a park
with a marble monument,
with names that slowly
stop seeming like real people.
They'll name a junior
high school after somebody
but soon enough,
it will just be us.
We will be the only ones who remember.
That's what we can do to honor
the people we loved and lost.
We can be the ones that remember.
Where have you been?
You don't come home
last night, I was worried.
What do I call you?
Tatiana or Natasha?
What?
Looks good.
Jimmy did all the work.
It turned out great.
Thanks.
Squad 55, heavy smoke
at residential building, 32197...
You're on Squad today?
Yeah.
Don't forget, when you
get inside, don't stop.
Keep going all the way through the back.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's a nice little operation,
guys. Last paper.
Her father's a chief, he's still missing.
He is missing. We haven't found him yet.
No, I mean, I know there's
not much hope but you don't,
you know, know him.
He's...
strong.
Tatiana came back this morning.
Did her son come back with her?
Guess she wants him to stay a little longer
until she can make sure
that Chevchenko has
other things on his mind.
She brought up Chevchenko?
Yeah, but only in passing.
All right, thank you.
Taylor.
Yeah?
They think they found your father.
Mom?
Mom.
Alex.
Hi.
What time is it?
It's a little after four.
Are you all right?
They found Daddy.
Are they sure?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I just, ah, couldn't find my keys.

be in one of the coats.
You start the coffee?
Yeah.
The keys are in the dish.
Oh, I thought I'd look there.
If you want to ask me something
then you should just ask.
Where the hell you been for two months?
With my cousin, I tell you.
In Ithaca.
Where is Sergei?
Sergei, he's safe.
You don't want to tell me...
because you don't trust me.
I'm your husband, you know?
He's not your son.
This cousin of yours, in Ithaca,
man or woman?
Oh, my God.
You're jealous?
Tatiana, you've been gone for eight weeks.
Eight weeks!
Her name...
is Nadia.
Nadia. Mm-hm.
In Ithaca? Mm-hm.
Come on...
I don't want another man.
I just want you.
Hey.
Hi.
You okay? Fine, thanks.
Hang in there, kid. All right?
Hey. Hey.
You're working today?
I'm on the schedule.
Hey, Lou.
You don't have to work today.
I'm good.
How is your mother?
She's okay.
I'd rather work, if that's okay with you.
If there's anything I can do.

would, if she wasn't dead.
Last year. Colon cancer.
He's gonna do it again.
I got to go.
The jury instructions?
Yes, it is, pull over for a sec, all right?
All right, just give me a minute.
Hey, Kimmy.
Oh, hey. Sorry.
You riding with Taylor today?
Yeah.
She's inside getting some coffee.
Thanks. Yep.
Hey.
Hey.
Just heard about your dad.
You okay?
God, I wish everyone
would stop asking me that,
I'm fine.
Sorry, um...
look, you want to get
together later talk, whatever.
I should get back to my mother's.
Right, right.
Um...
okay, I'll see you around.
The criminal justice system
is really screwed up.
You just figured that out?
I mean, a judge says a few wrong words
and this bastard's back out on the street.
We could shoot him.
Dump him in the river.
Nobody would miss him.
Some days I really feel like
we're wasting our time out here.
Some days.
I mean O.J. slaughters two people
and he's playing golf in Florida.
Found innocent by a jury of his peers.
So what's the plan?
We gonna follow him
around for a little while,
hope he does something stupid?
Oh, he's gonna do something stupid.
This idiot
crawled up out of the primordial ooze
of the shallow end of the gene pool.
Lawyers, they all think it's a big game.
You know, everything in the abstract.
Some judge upstate
reviewing jury instructions?
I mean, it's just words
on a page, you know?
He didn't have to walk into that apartment
and see the scared look
on that old woman's face
duct taped to her bed.
55 David...
Response for 419-106-223.
We're gonna answer that?
419-106-223.
Hey, Alex.
Hey, Tommy.
Hi.
Where's my mom?
Hey, you doing okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
So everybody's here?
Yeah, pretty much.
Hey, watch out, Mike's here.
Oh, he's been drinking?
What do you think?
They have to build
something that will bring in jobs.
Lots of the downtown
businesses depend on it.
They should just leave
that big ugly-ass hole
so people remember.
Like anybody could forget.
What you doing dishes for, Ma?
Yeah. That's what I said.
Keeping busy.
Say, what?
Princess, you're just gonna
stand there ignoring me.
Hi, Uncle Mike.
How's my girl?
Oh, she's fine, stop feeling her up.
How are you really?
I'm okay.
Yeah, me too.
Don't start crying, Michael.
I swear to God you get
me started crying again,
I'm gonna kill you.
Hey, hey.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
I'm trying to prevent you
from getting your ass kicked.
No, I can take care of myself, okay?
Sully.
Miss, you know this girl?
She might have worked here one time.
Just take a look at the picture.
That was smooth, that
was really, that was smooth.
Yeah, well, you know.
Stop, Sully, you look like a cop,
a cop or a pervert,
so either way no one's gonna, come here,
either way nobody's talking to you.
You got any money on you?
Money?
Unbelievable.
So?
She's been waiting tables
there for a couple months.
He says he hasn't seen her in
a few days. And? Come on, Ty.
Well, he said, uh,
that her name's Natasha.
Natasha? Natasha Gurin.
He said that she was
always really nice to him
but he tried to keep away from her
because she was in tight with the owner.
He's supposed to be like this, you know,
real bad ass kind of guy.
He saw him, uh,
beat some bartender half to death
with a baseball bat a couple weeks ago
when he caught him skimming.
He's a Russian guy.
Chevchenko.
Yeah?
Is Ty around?
It's 2 o'clock in the morning.
Yeah, sorry.
Is he here?
I don't think so.
Or you want to come in and wait?
You want a soda, beer or something?
Got any coffee? No.
If you want to watch
TV, keep it low, all right.
Didn't ask if I was okay.
You look okay.
Everybody else has been treating me
like I'm made out of glass.
What are we talking about?
My father.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Well, it's good that they found him, right?
Everybody else seems
to think so, I'm not so sure.
You know, I was hoping it would end
this whole limbo thing but I don't know.
I knew my dad was dead, somehow it just...
didn't seem real before,
like I could pretend he was only missing.
Well, now we're gonna bury him in two days
and it'll all be over,
all the waiting and crying
and people over at the house all the time,
they'll be gone
and we'll all just have to live
the rest of our lives without him.
I don't mind talking
to you about this more.
I'll go make some coffee.
Yeah.
I'm up now, anyway.
Wait, wait, God, no.
Go away!
I'll give you money, I got a DVD player...
Shut it up!
Okay, all right. Let's go.
Come on. No.
Man, please, please, please,
I told Randy I'd pay him back...
He usually gives me a couple of days.
Oh, God, I'm begging you.
No! No!
No!
Aw!
Aw.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, please.
The police were chasing you?
Please.
Don't do this to me.
Please.
So, you ran into this bar
to get away,
you went right through the bar
to the backroom, remember?
Yes, yes.
Yes, I remember, I remember, I remember.
That was my bar.
What? Please. My backroom.
I ran, they were chasing me.
Right into my bar.
Please.
Please.
Oh, God! Oh, God!
Oh, my God.
It's quite a coincidence.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I...
I ran, I ran, they made me do it.
Please don't do this to me.
Who made you?
I ain't got nothing on a Tatiana Deschenko.
Can you try Natasha Gurin?
Sure.
Mm, got her.
Want me to print that out for you?
Yeah, thanks.
You going to Chief Taylor's funeral?
Me, Billy and D.K. we're carpooling over,
you want us to swing by for you?
Yeah, that'd be great.
Sure.
You need a hand?
Sure.
Oh, he's got to have
made us sitting out here.
That's good.
He knows we're watching him
and maybe he'll lay off the old ladies.
You think that redhead
would be smiling so big
if she knew the guy chopping vegetables
was a granny rapist?
How are your lungs doing?
I'm okay.
Are you getting them checked regularly?
For what?
From all that junk that you inhaled.
It's in there, there's
nothing to do about it.
The doctor said to come back
if I had trouble breathing again.
The city should be doing more.
Like what?
Half of lower Manhattan
inhaled the same stuff I did.
Yeah, well, at least they
could let us know what was in it.
The EPA tested it.
I'd rather not know.
55 David, from Central,
please proceed back to the house.
The house?
55, David on the way.
What now?
Your mom having people over after?
Yeah, half the department.
Can I bring something?
Ah, I think she's got it covered.
Well, I make a mean bread pudding.
Sure, sounds great.
You know, I, I never met your dad,
but from what I hear,
he was a hell of a guy. Yeah.
I mean, if half the stories are true,
he was a great fireman.
He must've been proud when
you joined the department.
Well, he wanted my
brother Adam to take the test,
but Adam...
didn't want anything to do with it.
So I stepped in to carry
on the family tradition.
That takes guts. What's he doing now?
He's a nurse.
A nurse. Really?
In Houston.
Wow.
He turned down being a firefighter
to go to nursing school.
That must've really lit up your dad.
Not as much as the gay thing.
Wow.
How'd your dad deal with that?
Ah, not well at first.
You know, he got over it.
Well, people surprise you.
Yeah.
Yep.
They call you in too?
What the hell's he doing here?
He's talking to an ADA.
About what?
About that little jog he took to the bar,
and it gets even better.
Crap.
Good news is Frankie's a junky.
So Lieutenant doesn't believe him
but that district attorney is
paying pretty close attention.
What is going on?
Nothing, go get a soda.
So if he'll flip we lose the bust.
Somebody want to tell me what's going on?
Believe me, the less you
know about this the better.
Sully, Yokas.
This guy is a two-time loser
but he's convincing.
That lawyer down there
is making a lot of noise
about filing a suit,
cops trampled on his civil rights,
etcetera, etcetera, it
was a good bust, right?
Yeah, boss, it was a good caller.
That jack off from the DA's office
has probably gonna
offer to drop the charges
in exchange for a promise
from Mr. Resnick not to file a suit.
Justice in motion, huh?
Well, it's not my call,
but with this kid changing his story,
there's no chance for conviction anyway.
Very clever.
Stay away from me, Resnick.
Chase a suspect into a bar,
too bad the suspect
came forward with the truth.
Yeah, I'm sure that was purely voluntary.
Excellent grounds for a civil suit,
police trampling on the
rights provided to all citizens
under the constitution.
I'm warning you, Resnick.
Back off!
My client isn't by nature, litigious.
He's learnt to distrust the system
and would prefer to
resolve things privately.
He'd be willing to abandon
the idea of filing suit.
In exchange for what?
For Officer Sullivan leaving him
and his business pursuits
alone, permanently.
Kiss my ass, Resnick.
Sully, back up.
Come on, walk away.
This still about the woman, Tatiana?
Don't you say... Hey, Sully, whoa, whoa.
Don't you say her name!
Do not say her name!
Sully, walk away. Don't you say her name!
You hear me, you son of a bitch!
Sully, walk away right now.
Knock it off, knock it off.
Sully, walk away right now.
Hey, cool down.
What the hell is with you and that guy?
That boy wasn't too smart.
Tell me what's going on?
It's not your business.
No, it is my business, Sully.
You just made it my business.
Look, you got something going on at home,
you're right it's not my concern
but you bring it to the house
and it's my business and everybody else's.
I ran priors on that other
name we found for Tatiana.
This... long time ago, you know.
I married this woman, man.
You have to just, just talk to her,
you got to give her a
chance to explain. Explain?
I mean you loved her yesterday right,
what's changed?
This...
this changed.
You just talk to her, Sull, all right?
I thought you quit?
Uh, I did.
Well, look at you.
Where is Adam?
Still upstairs getting dressed.
We've got to go pretty soon.
Well, he'll be down soon.
Come here, sit.
I've got something for you.
Go on, open it.
It's the diamond from your
grandma Mary's engagement ring.
Your father had it mounted.
He was going to give it to
you on your wedding day,
but I thought maybe
you'd like to have it now.
You know he never wanted to be a fireman,
it was your grandfather's idea.
Your dad...
he resisted.
He wanted to finish college,
be a teacher.
Then I got pregnant with Adam.
It's a good job.
He took to it right away,
after all that arguing
with your grandfather.
I think maybe that's why
he didn't argue with Adam
that much about it.
Thank you.
Yeah.
He was so proud of you.
When you graduated from the academy...
he held my hand and he cried like a baby.
He loved you very much,
you know that, right?
Better go hurry up your brother.
You look beautiful, Mom.
Black becomes me.
"I am the resurrection and the life,
sayeth the Lord, he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live.
And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me
shall never die.
I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
And though this body be destroyed,
yet shall I see God,
whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold,
and not as a stranger."
He was attempting to rape her
when a neighbor heard her screams
and called us.
Now the guy cut himself pretty badly,
on the fire escape ladder, running,
when he heard the sirens.
We checked the ERs, no luck.
Partial description, green shirt,
combat boots,
approximately 6 feet tall,
muscular build.
Let's get this dirt bag.
He protected our city on the frontlines
and he died doing what he loved.
We won't soon forget him
or the hundreds of other heroes
who gave their lives to save
thousands on that terrible day.
We...
we know he's in good hands now,
in God's hands,
but we wish he was still here
in our hands.
Frisker. Where the hell is he?
Where the hell is he?
He's not working today.
I would like to thank you all for coming.
I knew Angus had a lot of friends
by how hard it was to
keep beer in the refrigerator,
but I didn't know he had this many friends.
I have prayed for this day,
and I have dreaded this day.
I didn't want him left there.
And I thank God,
for giving him back to us
a simple joy so many families
will never be able to experience.
To all of you that he served with,
I know if he were here
he would like you to know
how proud he was
to have been a New York City firefighter.
How privileged...
he felt to have worked alongside you.
Ang, I loved you the first time I saw you.
I miss you, sweetheart.
I'll see you soon.
Damn it.
Looks like he may have cut himself.
I see him at the park sometimes,
playing basketball.
On the ground.
On the ground.
On the ground right
now, put your hands down
where we can see them,
right now on the ground!
We got him.
Let me see your hands.
Let me see your hand.
Nice cut, Frisker.
You got to have somebody look at that.
Detail, hand salute!
Ready, two.
You stay away from my family.
Stay away from mine.
I won't ask you again.
We're not finished, you and me.
Come here.
You know, I'll never get used it.
I always hated them.
I thought they were butt-ugly
and now I miss them.
It's hard to imagine.
Still doesn't feel real to me.
Me neither.
You know, he went there to put out a fire
and to save people.
233 days. What?
Uh, it's been 233 days since September 11.
I've been to 28 funerals
and memorial services,
and I should have gone to more,
but some days I just couldn't face it.
233 days and in a few
weeks it's gonna be over.
Everyone and everything
that was gonna be found
will have been found.
Won't be any place left to dig.
And then we're gonna
have to just walk away.
And there will be a park
with a marble monument,
with names that slowly
stop seeming like real people.
They'll name a junior
high school after somebody
but soon enough,
it will just be us.
We will be the only ones who remember.
That's what we can do to honor
the people we loved and lost.
We can be the ones that remember.
Where have you been?
You don't come home
last night, I was worried.
What do I call you?
Tatiana or Natasha?
What?
Looks good.
Jimmy did all the work.
It turned out great.
Thanks.
Squad 55, heavy smoke
at residential building, 32197...
You're on Squad today?
Yeah.
