Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 3, Episode 7 - Childhood Memories - full transcript

Previously:

So how often do you get drunk

and take sedatives to unwind?

I'm not an alcoholic or an addict

if that's what you're implying.

You don't know about Davis?

No. What about him?

He's a little light in the loafers.

Get out of here.

I don't know if I'm going to do this whole

roommate thing. Really?



Hello, officer.

And Miss Hooker.

How are you this fine evening?

You reported a sexual assault?

Yes, my daughter was raped. Shaquana...

I think he was raping her
when we pulled them over

and we messed up.

Are you kidding me?

Did you rape that girl?

No!

If you're lying to me...

I'm going to kill you.

What happened here, Maizie?

I don't know, man.



I just found him like that.

and WARNER BROS. TELEVISION

All right, all right.

Yeah?

Is Officer Yokas home?

Who are you?

I'm Detective Hall.

This is Detective Newcastle.

What do you want?

We'd like to speak with Officer Yokas.

Why? Barry?

Is Boscorelli here?

Well, what do you think, he lives with us?

Do you know where he is, Faith?

What's going on?

We need to talk to him.

Well, did you try his house?

We can't find him.

Find him?

He hasn't been home.

Well, I don't know where he is.

We need you to get dressed.

Excuse me?

We'd like to talk to you down at the house.

What the hell's going on?

Down at the house.

Barry, I'm not going to
just up and go with you

because you want me to.

Well, a guy was killed
over on Axton Street.

Boscorelli might be involved.

What do you mean, involved?

Officer, do I have to call in a supervisor

to get you to come down
to the house with us?

You can't do that.

Can they do that?

Yeah.

Yeah, they can do that.

All right, you want to tell me

what's got you all wound up tonight?

Nothing.

Nothing? Come on.

You don't drink like this

and you definitely don't spend

all night here with me.

Can't I just want to see you?

What's wrong?

There's a statement on the family.

I want to see you...
Something must be wrong.

Huh.

I messed up.

I mess up all the time.

Yeah, well...

not like this.

Mm-hmm, not like this.

Look, so you made a mistake.

All right, so what?

It can't always work out.

This is different.

Why?

Everyone I know tries
like hell to avoid trouble

and you're the one that
walks in and tries to help.

You were always like that, always.

Even when you were a little kid

you were always getting into fights

for other little kids.

Yeah, that's me, huh? Regular hero.

I was proud of you for that.

Sticking up for the little guy?

That was nice.

Maurice...

look at me.

You are a good person.

You really don't know me

do you?

All right, stranger, come on.

You can sleep it off
at my place, all right?

This son of a bitch says

I better not stand too
close when they find him.

Whoa, whoa, they're pissed off at you now?

Who cares?

Now you're on their list?

I was on their list when
they came to the door

in the middle of the night.

So you're going to go right
down the drain with him?

Neither one of us is going down any drain.

He killed someone, he's going to go down.

What, you think he did it?

I don't give a damn
whether he did it or not.

I don't want you stuck in the middle of it.

What, you think I'm
just going to bail on him?

I'm saying there's three people
in this house who love you.

There's more in your world
than Maurice Boscorelli.

This has nothing to
do with you or the kids.

Everything that happens to you

has to do with us.

Yeah, well, if I needed help

he'd be there for me.

I didn't see him at any of
these doctor's appointments

or radiation treatments or surgeries.

He doesn't know.

You haven't told him?

This is the guy you're willing
to stick your neck out for?

Excuse me, but since
you haven't been telling him

what's been happening

maybe you should think about
who this guy really is to you

before you follow him off a cliff.

Em, Charlie, let's go.

Ma.

There you are. Oh...

What is that?

What? It's a little hair of the dog.

I had a few too many
with my son last night.

The window was open.

Yeah. I thought you could use some air.

It should be locked.

Okay. Sorry.

You still thinking about
that mistake you made?

Why are you always

so hard on yourself, Maurice, huh?

It's like you can't accept

that you could mess up.

People make mistakes.

You know, you learn from them

and you move on.

You want to be happy?

Why don't you figure out
why you can't seem to do that.

Relax, sit down, all right?

I need to use the phone.

I'm going to call work.

Be my guest.

Yeah, uh, is-is Mr. Morgenstern there?

It's Kim Zambrano.

Yeah.

Well... wh-what do you mean?

I mean, it's after 10:30.

Attorney's don't work mornings?

Okay, well... well, all right,
well, what time does he get in?

Oh, great, well, it's nice to know

he's putting in long hours

with the fortune that I'm paying him.

I...

I just really need to speak with him, okay?

It's important.

No, well, then as soon as he gets in

let him know that I called,
and please have him call me.

Immediately.

Okay, don't-don't forget. Thank you.

Yeah.

What's up, Sarge?

Davis.

What you doing here?

Uh, we need to talk.

Okay. Can we do it on the
e way to the locker room?

I got to get changed.

Uh, yeah.

What's your lease situation?

My lease?

I'm on a month-to-month.

I had to get a place
fast when I moved out...

I got a place today on the upper Westside.

Two bedrooms...

$1,700 a month.

$1,700? You're kidding me.

Yeah. I just put a deposit on it

a couple hours ago.

The check is going to bounce

if I don't find someone
to cover the cost with me.

You in?

$850 a month? Damn. Damn.

Yeah.

How, uh, how far up?

98th.

I thought the last time, you know

you wanted to be alone
with your space or whatever.

Uh, well, you know...

I'm a man of the millennium, you know?

I got no real hang-up with
a person's lifestyle choices.

Lifestyle choices?

What are you talking about?

Um, I was being close-minded.

About what?

Uh, will you hold on with that?

I need to get changed.

You want in or not?

I don't know.

Laundry facilities

in the basement, two bathrooms...

I don't even get to see it?

I need to know, man

right now.

Trust me, it's nice.

That's less than half

of what I'm paying now for a studio.

Exactly.

All right.

All right. Make it out to Carlos Nieto.

"N-I-E-T-O."

And I want to make sure
that we're clear on something:

if you're going to have
"company" over, let me know

ahead of time, and I'll make
myself scarce, all right? Okay.

And no sleep-overs.

It'd be too creepy

tip-toeing around in the
morning so me and your date

don't run into each other
over the coffee filters.

You're not going to tell
me who I can and can't have

in my own room, hell, no.

Door stays closed?

You think I want it open?

All right, deal.

Okay.

You're an odd guy, you know?

Yeah. And you're the normal one.

What the hell was that all about?

I just rented an apartment with him.

I hear he doesn't have
both oars in the water.

I don't even think he has a boat.

Grilled cheese?

You can make your own when we're done.

You're already cooking.

These are spoken for.

Hey... Kim's downstairs.

So?

Said she wants to... you
know, you to come down.

Isn't she supposed to be up here

getting ready for shift?

They're off today.

Take over.

How long you going to be? I don't know.

I'll take his.

Like hell!

Yeah, I just made a deal
on the sweetest apartment.

You found one you can afford?

I'm splitting with Davis.

Ah...

Smooth move.

You and Davis?

Yeah, yeah.

I talked with him about his, uh...

you know... all that sex and all

but it seemed to work out.

I think it'll work out okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, ten-second rule!

Ooh, hot, hot.

Mmm...

Mmm.

Hey.

Hey.

What's going on?

I want Joey back.

What?

We have joint custody

and I want him to spend
half the time with me.

Kim, this is...

No. I want my son
sleeping in his bed tonight.

He has a bed at my place.

He has a corner at your place.

Kim, I don't want this to get messy.

It is messy. You're trying to
steal my son away from me.

Until a judge says that
you have sole custody

I want him home with me.

That's what the current agreement says.

You get him weekends, every other Christmas

and four weeks in the summer, okay?

No.

What?

He's staying with me
until this gets worked out.

He's my son.

He's my son, too.

Yokas here yet?

Haven't seen her.

Tell her to see me im...

He thinks he's going to hide from this?

What are you talking about?

Administrative sick?

He takes a sick day?

Well, maybe he's sick.

There's a bug going around.

I've been feeling a little off myself.

Well, he isn't at home.

Well, maybe he's at the doctor's.

Getting a flu shot.

Once you have the bug, shot's useless.

Yeah, antibiotics don't
help out much either.

Yeah, pretty much have
to ride it out. Poor guy.

Yeah, this is all real cute.

Listen... look at me.

You tell him that I'm going to suspend him

pending this investigation

and that he cannot hide from me forever.

You understand?

What the hell was that all about?

Way you guys were backing me up

I thought you knew.

No. I just never miss an opportunity

to bust that jerk's chops.

You guys had a homicide

the other night, right?

Guy got shot in his own car?

They think that Bosco

did it.

Are they serious?

I'm the first one

to say he's an idiot, but murder?

I need you guys to help me.

What do you want us to do?

It was Maizie, right? She was your caller?

Yeah, but she was just walking by.

I don't think she saw much.

Just a guy hanging out of his car.

If that girl saw anything, something

it's going to make a big difference.

I think we should find her
and finesse her a little bit.

Where's Bosco in all
this? He getting a lawyer?

I haven't talked to him.

He never came home last night.

I don't even think he knows

that they're looking for him.

Man, you think he's in the wind?

No. I don't think he's in the wind.

He just didn't come home last night.

He called in sick today.

Davis, I know Bosco.

He didn't do this.

We'll see what we can do.

You can't box three-nine-nine.

It's two nines.

You can't box 933; it's not a box.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking for Michael Boscorelli.

Never heard of him.

He's my brother.

I just want to talk to the guy.

He's in the head.

Hey, almost done, man.

Another Hallmark moment.

Whoa.

Hey.

Hi. Hi.

What the hell you doing here, man?

Hey!

Mikey, I thought, uh...

I thought you were cleaning up.

What, that? That's nothing.

That's, you know, that's
a little celebration is all.

That don't mean anything, man.

Something special happen?

Yeah. Yeah, I got a job.

I'm the night guy

at a Quik-Mart in Astoria, so...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And that will last for, what, huh, a week

till they find out

you're tapping the till?

Why always pissing on me, man, huh?

You know, you need to
loosen up once in a while.

Like that.

Hey. You might like it.

Clean off your face.

Where's Dad?

Why?

I don't know.

I need to talk to him about something.

You know, I saw him the other night

sitting across from me
at Smokey's Strip Joint.

That dude still has the bull on for skirt.

How does he afford a lap dance?

He drives a cab on the swing shift.

How do you get hold of him?

Something happen to Mom?

Like you care if it did?

I page him.

He comes to the corner of 81st and First.

What's his number?

What do you want to talk to him about?

Give me his number.

Pager code 69.

Sixty-nine? Figures.

Oh, just leave him alone, Maurice.

The guy, he's been through enough.

He's been through enough?

You know, let it go.

I did.

Yeah, you're all past it.

Hey.

Always enjoy the visits, bro.

Take it easy, Mikey.

Welcome to Axton Street.

You going to arrest them?

No. There's a detail in the division

that handles prostitution.

Let them be the bad guys.

Bad guys?

Yeah, well, sometimes we need these women.

For what?

You'll see.

I'm just walking home, Officer Yokas.

I know; I'm not looking to shag you, JoJo.

You seen Maizie?

Hasn't been around.

You tell her that I'm looking for her?

You got it.

Who's the cutie?

Leave him alone.

He's a baby.

Oh...!

I think she likes you.

Henry!

How you doing, guys?

Not so good, Henry, not so good.

Sorry to hear that.

Unlock the door.

Daddy ain't around.

Don't piss us off, Henry.

You are too slow, Henry.

Too slow.

Yo, yo, yo, yo!

Whoa-whoa-whoa, what the hell?!

Yo, Henry, what's up?

Huh? Good looking out, huh?

Good looking out.

Some nice sweet and sour, huh?

Yo, that was rude, though.

That was plain rude.

Well, you know, sometimes

I forget my manners, Daddy.

We're looking for one of your ladies.

Daddy don't know where
she is, baby, you know?

You don't even want to know which one?

Maybe Daddy better think a little longer

before he answers next time.

You know ho's don't
be telling me everything.

Come on, now.

Let me break it down for you, Francis.

We need to talk to Maizie, A.S.A.P.

or you're going to suffer

a little economic downturn.

First, we're going to park
that squad car right over there

right in front of your girls every night.

No more turning our heads.

No, no, no, she done told
the police what she saw.

Then we start rounding them up.

Going to cut into his pocket.

Seven girls missing ten hours a night.

That's a lot of scratch.

Not to mention the bail he'll have to pay

to get them back on the street.

You're going to be auditioning girls

in the back of a Honda
before we're through, baby.

Yo, I told that bitch

she should have just kept on steppin'.

Gets all involved in a murder.

All you want to do
is rap to her, that's it?

Yeah. Just want to talk to her.

Joey!

Mommy!

Hey! Excuse me, guys, excuse me.

Hey, baby, come here!

Mommy! Hey!

Oh!

Kim. What are you doing here?

Hey, Mom.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Grandma.

Honey, we're going to have a sleep-over.

Wouldn't you like that...

To come home for the night?

Are you still sick?

No, baby, I'm not sick anymore.

Hey, guess what? What?

I got a new Pokemon game.

Really?! Yeah.

Cool!

Is my bike still there?

It's all ready for you.

Think before you do anything

you're going to regret, honey.

I have thought about it, Mom.

Come on, baby.

I got a cab waiting.

Beautiful joint.

Want me to see if there's any vacancies?

Maybe you and the wife
can have a little getaway?

Hey, that's Maizie.

Maizie.

Hey, Maizie.

Maizie, come... oh, come on.

Maizie!

Maizie, we just want to talk...

Maizie.

Maizie, we just want... Maizie.

Hey, where you going, Maizie?

Maizie.

Let go of me.

Okay, let her go.

Maizie.

We just want to talk to you.

I don't know nothing.

Don't worry, your mama's
not in any trouble, okay?

I don't know nothing.

Look, I just need you
to be a little more clear

about what you saw last night.

Daddy was right.

I should have just kept on walking.

But you didn't so help us out.

I didn't because the guy was right there

in the middle of our spot.

How am I going to work

when the dead guy's hanging around?

Don't think I was trying to help.

Maizie, come here a minute.

Look, you and I have known each other

for a long time

and I've never asked you for anything.

I've always treated you fair.

I'm asking you now for your help, please.

You're asking me "please."

I'm asking you, please.

All right.

You'll keep me out of it?

As much as I can.

I didn't see any of it, but...

there was another one of the girls

saw the whole thing.

The whole thing?

Said she saw the shots and everything.

She saw who did it?

She's real afraid.

Of the police?

She's new, young...

She don't want to get involved in anything.

Maizie, I need to talk to her.

She can help me get
a killer off the street.

She don't come out until 10:00 or so.

She'll be over there in that same area.

Wears a black wig.

Can I get her name?

Give you her name?

Her name's Krystal.

Maizie, thank you.

Can I go?

Yeah.

I mean it... thank you.

We got an eyewitness.

Well, that should help.

Maybe.

What does that mean?

Depends on what they saw.

This is going to take
a little getting used to.

I never had a roommate before.

It's no picnic.

Took me a month to
get rid of Tatiana's bunch.

Where do they all come from?

Oh, you know.

Runaways, junkies, you name it.

I don't even think this one's a woman.

Look.

It's definitely not a woman.

Think that's a woman?

And guess which woman.

Hello, Krystal.

That's right, buddy, go home to your wife.

Hey, hold up, Krystal.

You going to pretend

your name isn't Krystal?

What do you want?

I need to talk to you.

Watch your head.

Where to?

How about five bucks' worth?

Long time no see, Dad.

Am I arrested?

No, you're not.

I've never been arrested.

We can change that real quick.

Get your little career going

in the proper direction.

Street prostitution
looks great on a resume.

How old are you?

Old enough.

Take that wig off.

Why?

Take it off.

Where did you run away from?

Was whatever it was worth

being out here on the street?

Yeah, it was.

Okay.

You see something last night, Krystal?

No.

That's not what we heard.

Well, you heard wrong.

Look, you're not going to get

in any trouble.

I told you, I didn't see nothing!

You tell us, we can help you out.

What can you do for me?

When was the last time you had a good meal?

You're talking about feeding me?

I'm talking about helping
you get off the street.

Saw Michael today.

He was bent over the sink, doing a line.

What do you think has him so messed up?

What do you think he's trying to forget?

You feel any responsibility

for the screwed up people you left behind?

Huh?

Or why Mom, you know...

Mom puts whiskey in her coffee now.

You think you might
be responsible for that?

Or, how about me?

I...

I spend my whole life...

chasing bad guys I'm never going to catch.

I'm trying to... to...

trying to make up for
helping you hurt my mom.

Hurt my family.

All those times you
couldn't get in the house

to beat Mom up, so you'd come to my window.

In my bedroom, and you'd...

you'd stand out on that little porch

and you'd tap on the
window until I woke up.

Saying you just wanted
to sit with me a little while.

Saying you loved me.

So, I let you in.

I missed you.

I... I wanted you guys to stay together.

And you'd push right
past me to get to her. You...

You wouldn't even slow down.

You hear that, Dad?

Now I can't sleep

with the window open
when I can sleep at all.

Go figure, huh? That's five bucks.

Oh, by the way

that whole World Trade Center thing...

in case you were worried...

I'm alive.

Thanks for calling.

Your witness, madam.

Thanks, guys.

Krystal, this is Officer Yokas.

How you doing?

Just go ahead and tell her

what you told us.

I just got dropped off on Axton Street

and I was headed towards the bridge

and I heard some loud
bangs, like... firecrackers.

Heard some glass breaking.

It was coming from a car on the street.

So, I stepped back behind the wall

and I saw this lady getting out of the car.

A lady?

Sh-She... she put a gun in her purse

and she walked right past me.

What did she look like?

She was... black... dark and older.

And?

She had long dreads.

Are you sure?

That's what she looked like.

Come on, let's go.

Yes, ma'am.

What are you going to do?

I've got to go talk to somebody.

What do you want us to do with her?

Just keep her away from the detectives.

Hey... be smart.

Yeah. Very.

Is it good?

Uh-huh!

Yeah?

Does daddy make you mac and cheese?

Yes. But it's the box kind.

It's not as good as this.

I missed you so much when I was sick.

Me, too.

Can you still take a bath?

What?

Daddy says I don't have
to take baths anymore.

I take showers like a big boy.

I don't want to get sick like you did

in the bathtub.

Oh, honey, that's not... don't... that's...

Petey built a ramp.

He's going to show me tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, a ramp?

For bikes. So we can ride them, jump them.

Well, I want to take
a look at it first, okay?

Those things can be dangerous.

Daddy lets me ride them.

Well, I didn't say that you can't

I just... just want to
take a look at it, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Um, you just keep eating, okay?

I'll be right back.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Go away.

Give me Joey.

Go away, Jimmy.

Just... get your foot out of the door.

Damn it, Kim, give me Joey.

He's staying here. Like hell he is!

Look, I talked to my lawyer...

You kidnapped him!

We have joint custody. I
have a right to have him.

You're the one that violated the order

by keeping me from him. Go ask your lawyer.

I don't need my lawyer to
tell me he's safer with me.

Did you forget what happened
the last time he was here?

Huh? He should be at home.

This is his home, remember?

This is where you
tried to kill yourself, Kim.

Look, I'm not perfect, I'm working on it.

But I know I'm a good mother.

Why are you putting him through this, Kim?

Why would you try to do this to him?!

Damn it, Kim, open the door.

I will break that chain.

I swear to God, I'll break the chain!

Go ahead, break it. Open the door.

I'll call the police!

Oh, call the police! Fine.

I am going to call the police.

It's okay, honey.

Why would you do this?

Why would I? Why would you?

What's wrong with you? Get out!

Damn it, open the door!

I'm going to have you arrested, I swear.

Go ahead. I'm doing it.

This is Kim Zambrano. I'm at 411 Irving.

I'm having problems at my apartment.

My ex-husband is... Fine.

Fine! Fine!

Oh...

Joey, honey, no, it's o...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing?

I'm just locking up, honey.

Are you afraid Daddy's
going to come and take me?

No, Daddy's not going to come.

Scootch over a little bit,
and let me get in with you.

You go to sleep now, okay?

Everything's going to be all right.

Mrs. Golden?

What?

We're moving.

I see.

I want Shaquana out of the city.

Is she here?

She's in her room.

Can we come in?

No.

The Police Department thinks

that Officer Boscorelli
killed Allen Johnson.

Good. But he didn't do it, did he?

What do you want?

This has gotten out of hand, Mrs. Golden.

It was out of hand when
he raped my little girl.

I know that, but it has
got to stop somewhere.

You could have helped her.

You'll never know how much I wish

I could have that moment back.

I have a daughter, too

and I probably would
have done the same thing.

We have an eyewitness
that saw you shoot him

and put the gun in your bag and walk away.

It's still in there, isn't it?

It's very important

that you tell me what
happened, because it may be

the only chance I have of helping you.

You're going to help me?

I owe it to you.

To both of you.

He came to the door.

Said he wanted to work out a deal.

He would help me with
the complaint against you.

Said we could sue the
city and make a fortune.

All I had to do was drop the rape.

He thought I would let him get away

with what he did to her for money.

Thought that's all I wanted.

He won't rape anyone else's daughter.

Mom?

It's okay.

I'm okay, baby.

I need you to sign that.

All right, now, you remember what I said?

Yes, but I don't understand it.

You want an attorney

and you don't want to
answer any more questions.

All right. All right, now

there's some things I got to go do.

And then somebody's going to come in here

and they're going to talk to you.

But I want an attorney.

Right.

What's this?

I cleared your murder for you.

I'll call you right back.

Allen Johnson?

Yeah.

The rape victim's mother's your perp.

That's a full written confession.

Where's the gun?

It's already vouchered.

You can tell Sergeant Christopher

that he can back off Bosco now.

Yeah, he can back off us, too.

Wait a second.

She told you where the gun
was? Just gave it up to you?

Well, I asked her, and she told me.

You asked?

Yeah.

That's how I got the confession.

I asked her a bunch of questions

and then, after a little
while, she answered.

Yeah, she went right
after her. It was amazing.

Did you Mirandize her?

You did advise her of her rights?

Did I?

Excuse me?

Did Officer Yokas advise the suspect

of her rights before questioning?

You might as well just tell the truth.

When you're on probation, and you lie

about something this important

it could be the end of your career

before it even starts.

Uh...

Uh, actually, um...

Truth is, no.

I don't think she Mirandized her.

You don't think she did?

She didn't.

Look, she's right across the hall.

Maybe you can get it out of her again.

We better, for your sake

or this all goes out the window.

Oh, God.

I hate this system.

Look, you're going to have to testify

so all you have to do is tell the truth.

What's going to happen to her now?

She's going to need an attorney.

It's not fair. She did it for me.

Well, your mom did what
she thought she had to do.

That's not fair.

Well, she's going to need your help.

And she's going to need
to know that you're okay

so that she can concentrate
on defending herself.

Can I see her?

Maybe tomorrow.

Come on.

We're going to take you home.

Look, it's the same piece of paper.

Just write it down. It's
not that big of a deal.

All right, you said it for Yokas.

I want you to sign it again, okay?

Not without my attorney.

Hey!

I got home, there was ten
messages on my machine.

What? Christopher's looking for me?

I don't think so much anymore.

What's going on?

I'm just going to take Shaquana home.

Why's she here?

Well, if you wait around
for me, when I come back

I'll tell you all about it.

All right.

Hey, Shaquana?

It wasn't you, all right?

It was me.

I couldn't let myself believe you...

all right?

Because, um...

'cause of my own messed-up head.

If I believed you,
then it meant that, uh...

um...

You were wrong?

Yeah.

More than that.

It meant that I helped what
happened to you happen.

I-I couldn't deal with that.

I'm not asking you for forgiveness.

I just, uh...

I just wanted to say that, uh...

I'm sorry...

for what happened to you.

Truly sorry.

Can we go now?

Absolutely.

So, I'll see you when I get back?

Why not?

That'll be good.

That's going to leave a mark.

Doesn't everything?
