Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 3, Episode 8 - Act Brave - full transcript

Previously on Third Watch.

Is she alright?

Father was the chief.

Still missing.

- 'How's Taylor?'
- 'She's not talking much.'

Notify me if you wanna
talk and hangout or..

Exchange recipes.

- I don't want this to be messy.
- It is messy.

You're tryin' to steal my son
away from me, until you get

sole custody, I want him with me.

I got a place down Westside.



Two bedrooms.

1700 a month.

Hi, this is Kim Zambrano, at 4/11 Irving.

I'm having problems at my
apartment, my ex-husband is..

- Fine! - Fine!

Nights are the worst.

Not on the job, but after.

All alone. Being still, silence.

Just not that silent anymore.

Guess it's like that for a lot of
people who've lost somebody

Not that, that makes it any easier.

So, I might do what I
can to avoid the silence.

Volunteer for extra shifts.

Visiting some of the guys' kids



The more to do, less ten
minutes to think about things.

Things like being angry..

Or sad... or worst of all..

Afraid.

That was a dirty word in my house as a kid.

"Be brave and the world will respect you."

That's what my dad used to drum into us.

As if we had the slightest idea

what the word "brave" even meant.

Like it was supposed to come natural to us.

As kids of a legendary fire captain

it should be in our blood, right?

Who the hell knows?

It's probably why I went
after this job in the first place.

Just to show him.

Show him I could be brave.

Earn some of that respect
he always talked about.

Figured if I did this job
long enough, well enough

I might someday qualify
as brave in his book.

Not that I'll ever know that, no.

Anyway, can't think about that.

I have to stay busy.

Are you kidding me?

My other suit's at the cleaners.

You think that's gonna help?

Let's just jump right on me.

- What'd you like me to wear?
- Oh, save it, save it.

Zambrano?

Oh, hi, I'm sorry, my
lawyer's not here yet.

I know. He sent me.

Uh, and you are..

Uh, Colleen Frewer.

Mr. Morgen's associate.

I'd take your hand but..

- His associate? - Not to worry.

I've closely reviewed a
good portion of your case..

A good portion?

We're fine.

Uh, you... would be Mr... Doherty?

Jimmy, please.

Look, don't start flirting
with my associate now, okay?

So sorry to keep you waiting.

After all this time I forget
to count for added security.

Glad that I could see you again.

' You too, Harold.'

What's a few minutes outta the day?

As I'm sure man in your line

of work appreciates more
than ever, Mr. Doherty.

I'm in no hurry either, your honor.

That, actually sounded judge.

Thanks for clearing that up, Ms. Frewer.

And I, I also work for the fire department.

As a paramedic.

'Yeah, we operate out of FDNY.'

People forget that occasionally.

Well, uh, not..

So, I was just saying, um, no hurry.

Alright then, I'm Margo Rodriguez.

Your court appointed evaluator.

Case number 80371, Doherty Vs Zambrano

for custody of Joseph Doherty.

You're who ultimately decides?

'No, that's up to the court.'

I merely provide a recommendation

as a board certified family counselor.

I hold a Ph.D. in psychology from Yale.

Yale? Wow.

- Please.. - I'd like to get that out.

C-Can we just start?

Sorry, I, uh, no, I just..

I know that we're all
in no hurry, but, um..

I'm just really anxious to get my son back.

It seems you already have your son back

by way of rather indelicate
episode at a local schoolyard.

Let's say we start there.

Mm-hmm.

'Okay, slow down.'

'Slow it up.'

Nice and easy.

Is that the last of it?

Just one more box and I'm done.

I'll guess again.

Come on, I left the van open.

Better hurry up then.

Why don't you give him the key?

- He'll move it. - My bird's a "she."

For your information.

Oh, does "she" have a name?

- Bird. - Bird?

Come here.

I can see you two are really bonding.

'Yeah, but not hung up on names.'

My roommate.

My sympathies.

Thank you.

He thinks you're gay you know?

He does, doesn't he?

I'm pretty sure, he thinks you are too.

Fine by me.

- Anything to discourage him.
- Ah, don't be so sure.

Some guys dig lesbians.

What, guys like you?

Depends on the lesbian.

We're gonna rack this pillow.

Feelin' better, huh, ma?

- 'Huh?' - Uh-huh?

Like a movie star. Look at you.

Hey.

What?

Nothin'.

- What? - Nothin'.

I just have my doubts
about her, that's all.

I mean, suicide was bad enough
and now with this kidnapping...

Didn't we make it clear that I
was trying to take Joey home?

To your home.

- His home. - Let's stay on point, please.

'You want a point?'

D'you wanna know why he
loves the mistake I've made?

Because somehow, it seems
to have cancelled out his.

Nothing in there about his gambling?

I haven't gambled in over a year.

Not since you had Joey yanked
out of his car by loan sharks.

Anything about his
cheating, all his one-nighters?

- Oh, Kim, please.
- See, he screwed my sister.

Is that in your notes?

And his best friend's fiancee
at their engagement party

'on a bathroom sink.'

Does that seem like a good father to you?

- I could go on. - Go on, please.

Write a book, I'll sign.

The proceeds will go to Joey's college..

'Alright!'

Let's keep the volume down, shall we?

'I know I've made mistakes.'

And maybe I haven't been the best father.

But do you ever, stop to think

maybe that all changed the
day you decided to wash down

a fistful of pills with a bottle of wine?

Tell me, Kim.

Come on, tell me.

I really wanna know.

'Middle of the day'

'you were about to die,
right there in the bathtub.'

Willing to be discovered
by whoever walks in next.

Knowing well that it's gonna
be my eight year old son.

- I wasn't thinking about that.
- Well, that's not good enough.

'I know.'

I know it's not good enough.

I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.

'But it's still one mistake.'

But it's one I'll never
make again, I swear.

You can't take my baby
away from me, please.

I can't lose him.

I must say that we are all
delighted here with how well

she's doing.

Me too, Janice. I appreciate it.

Mm-hmm.

She need new pillows.

Does she? I'll... have a look.

- She's eatin' okay though, huh?
- 'Very well, yes.'

Yeah? What she eat?

Well, she seems to enjoy..

Rock chart's here somewhere.

You don't know what she eat?

Ah.

Actually our system's down.

We have over three hundred residents here.

Don't worry about it.

She say your mother eat so good,
but she don't know what she eat.

We provide a healthy
balanced diet featuring

all the essential food groups.

I know, you read this
from the pamphlet there.

Hey..

Listen, Janice, thanks.

We'll see you next week, okay?

- Hey, what's up with you?
- What you do that to me?

- Why you bustin' her chops?
- She needs chops busting.

Tatiana, come on, Janice is good people.

- Yeah, I good people.
- No, you're great people.

You know, eight hundred dollar a month?

For that your mother should have caviar.

No pillows?

They take good care of her here.

Eight hundred dollar.

Don't worry about it.

Where do you want this, uh..

Lamp.

What, you think it's ugly?

You're so not gay.

Yeah, right there is cool.

This your dad?

Yeah, that's him.

- Little league?
- We were just playing catch.

More of a football family.

Every summer we'd drive up
to the Giant's training camp.

Sims to Bavaro

L.T Carlson

'That was our thing.'

Your thing, huh?

Yeah, you know, that's what we did.

- How old were you?
- That picture, I was about ten.

- No, I mean when he.. - Oh.

That was... six days
after my twelfth birthday.

You remember that.

'Certain details, you do not forget.'

I just kinda... get sketchy
over time, you know as it

gets further away.

My dad's a Jets fan.

Was he?

Is that his, uh, ring?

Uh.

My mom wears his ring,
uh, this is a... 20 year ring.

From his squad.

This is St. Florian.

He gave it to me when I passed the test.

'Nice.'

'Nice.'

Good to see someone's room is coming along.

But, uh, I still have a
king-size bed in the hall.

You know as much as it
creeps me out to touch it.

I'll help you with that.

- No, I'll do it.
- Nah, I got it, I got it.

So, what's this, uh, Queen?

Yes, yes, Queen.

Big old Queen.

Here you go, Caruso.

Jelly donut in there for you.

I-I wanted a black and white.

Well, they were out..

You're in an awful good mood lately.

What, buyin' a homeless guy

a cup of coffee make me Aldrick Robinson?

Coffee for the homeless guy,
hum a little tune as you drive aro..

- I don't hum. - You've been humming.

If I'd known you better

I'd say someone's been
gettin' it pretty good lately.

What's it with you and
the sex thing all the time?

It's on your face, you finally shipped

Tatiana's family back to Ukraine.

That was weeks ago.

Meaning, weeks of nonstop hump-o-rama.

- Wrong, - I'm wrong?

Well, you know it's been good.

Just good.

- Great, okay. - Oh, okay.

I mean whatever it is you see on my face

that's not just about sex.

I'm just saying, you seem... content.

- Content, huh? - Yes, content.

Like marriage agrees with you.

Yeah, tell you what agrees with me..

'The way this Christmas is gonna
be, that's what agrees with me.'

You didn't do anything for Christmas.

'Exactly.'

I wake up on Christmas morning,
get a phone call from my sister

thanking me for the
presents that I got her kids.

Then the highlight of the holiday is goin'

over to see my mother
and opening her presents.

Her annual pair of slippers.

- Slippers every year?
- Well, you know, nice slippers.

Not that she knows the difference.

But this year..

I'll wake up with my wife.

Which means Tatiana.

Openin' presents under our tree.

First Christmas tree ever
in my apartment, by the way.

Is that right?

You know just me, her,
safe and warm at home.

Our home.

Oh.

Hi.

If it's a bad time, I can come back.

Oh, no, not at all.

My shift starts in an hour...

I find that unscheduled
visits prove helpful.

It'll take ten minutes tops.

Any chance I can see Joey's room?

Oh, sure please, come on in.

'Uh, he likes Sesame Street.'

And Zaboomafoo. That's
a, that's a good one.

There's no PlayStation. That's Jimmy's bag.

Joey has too much homework.

It's amazing what they pile
on kids these days, huh?

Do you like Joey's teachers?

Yeah. Sure.

There's Sister Rose, she's nice.

And, uh, Sister Jean,
she's his speech therapist.

He used to have a lisp,
it's much better than before.

And the name of his pediatrician?

Uh, Kayadara.

Mary Kayadara.

And, uh, Dr. Bresnick too.
Over ear nose and throat.

'He's had ear infection
since he was a baby.'

Hmm.

Does he have a lot of friends?

'Yeah, sure.'

There's Grace next door
and... Emily Rose in his class

and Dorothy Kay.

All girls.

Mostly.

Apple doesn't fall far I guess.

Your job? Hours flexible?

Well, not as flexible as they used to be.

You know ever since the 11.

But in terms of working it around Joey

I've never had a problem.

And, uh, well, there's always
my mom, so thank God.

'Mrs. Sullivan.'

'Is that you?'

Don't come out yet, okay?

- Oh. - Ma.

I want to surprise you.

Wow!

Uh.

They let you take her out, huh?

Hi.

There was a very nice man
at the desk, and he let me sign

her name, no problem.

When does she have to be back?

Oh, and I got used hospital bed, $300.

And they gonna deliver.

- What? - Yeah.

Think about what we gonna save.

Oh, no.

Yes.

- No, Tatiana. - I can take care of her.

No.

This your own mother.

Yeah, I know, it's just..

She needs special care.

Yeah, that special care she need is love.

Come on, look how happy she is here.

She doesn't know where she is.

She'd be happy if she
was sittin' in traffic right now.

No, John, look in the eye.

'Come on, she know she
home, where she belong.'

You don't know the Sophie's choice

I went through to put her there.

Who's Sophie?

Nobody.

Look, it's just that, it's not good.

Yeah, that's gonna be good.

I gonna show you. You gonna see.

No, she can't stay here.

John.

Tatiana, look..

I know you have good intentions...

We don't do that, we don't
put away the people we love.

- Not family. - That's best for everybody.

For you? Maybe.

Alright, I have to go back to work

I don't have time to stand
here and debate this with you.

She can stay here tonight.

But tomorrow, she gotta go back.

That's it.

I'm sorry.

Joey's teachers?

You know, I don't think he has a favorite.

They're nuns, he likes them all.

Again, I'm really sorry,
I can't be late for work.

Not at all, a few questions, like the name

of Joey's pediatrician.

Oh, yeah, uh..

Doctor..

God, I can see that guy's face.

Here's it.

You know what..

I have no idea.

I'm blowin' this aren't I?

I wouldn't say that.

Come on.

Joey's doctors, his teachers.

I don't know any of that stuff.

Who am I kidding?

I haven't spent enough time
with him to know anything.

Tell me what you do know.

I know we like to hoax around a lot.

He likes comin' into the
house climbin' on the engines.

Does that make me a good father?

Is that enough?

Probably not.

But... I wanna work harder at it

and I wanna make up for lost time

and to do that, I need him with me.

That's all I know.

Okay.

The sooner I get rid of
the Rasputin, she pulls this.

I know it's this Janice
that works at the place.

Tatiana can't stand her.

And the upkeep, I'm payin'.

You said she's good with your mom.

She's great with her.

And... your mom likes her, right?

Sits there smilin' at her.

Okay, so what, there's no chance
that Tatiana's motives are pure

like she's just tryin' to be
a good daughter-in-law?

Is this your idea of
support? I feel lousy as it is.

I'm just sayin', it is
your mother, you know.

- Alright, you love your mother?
- Of course.

- Want her to come live with ya?
- I just moved out last year.

And yeah, if my mom, you know, she's great.

- If she wanted to stay... -
Sure, your mom is great.

Your mother is young and healthy.

And self sufficient.

My mother has needs, man.

- The stuff I can't do for her.
- Stuff Tatiana says she can.

- She thinks she can. - That's a start.

Will you stop?

I didn't marry Tatiana so she
can be my mother's caretaker.

'My mother is my responsibility.'

Okay, back to the home she goes.

Right.

Oh, yeah, alright, alright,
look, first things first.

- She left it inside?
- Uh, on the floor, yeah.

That's the second envelope in a month.

Actually if I catch the bastard
who's sending this stuff...

Good luck, there's no insurance
your crank's goin' out of here.

People gettin' the rocks off.

Alright, so just have
your employee sit tight.

We got a HazMat unit on the way.

Are you happy now, Jane?
We have HazMat comin' now.

What the hell was she supposed to do?

Last time it took two full days
gettin' the building cleared.

They took our clothes and
one of those shower things.

Humiliating waste of time..

For what, a teaspoon of corn starch.

We're getting coffees, Lou, you want one?

Whoa, back up, alright?

Everybody. Nobody goes anywhere.

Oh, come on, you said it was a prank.

No. I said "probably."

Oh, please, there's no need.

This is bad enough since 9/11.

Now look, let's just put
it this way, 99 percent

of these calls are bogus.

And you probably have no reason to suspect

that somebody would target you..

I mean what's the problem?

You got two cops who
aren't about to go down history

for lettin' that one
percent get away that takes

the entire Eastern sea board.

Alright, everybody get the hell back.

Go ahead, sir, it shouldn't take that long.

You're gettin' pretty good at that speech.

Yeah, you say it enough times
in a day, what you gonna do?

That sick bastard's probably
sittin' in a window somewhere

enjoying the show, with
his little gonads in hands.

Little jail time.

You know what we should do?

Parachute these jagos
right into Osama land.

- Yeah, after a sex change. - Amen.

Five-five-Dave to central.

We got any progress on that HazMat

to 9-4-O-1, West Concorde?

'HazMat's pretty backed
up, 5-5-Dave for an ETA.'

Imagine that, HazMat's backed up.

All I want is some Harry Potter Legos.

Excuse me?

Well, that's all I should
be thinkin' about this time.

We got shut out all over town.

For Legos?

No, Harry Potter Legos.

Fred and I were just happy
that Charlie finally found

some books he'd like to read.

You know we never counted on
the movie and the merchandising.

That's where I get most of my readin' done.

The Godfather.

Jaws.

Silence Of The Lambs.

I read them all.

Emergency message, 9-4
hotline, we need FD and EMS

for an explosion at building.

'Also inform the bomb squad.'

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on!

Are you okay?

- Are you okay? - I think so.

Okay, calm down. Help is on the way.

Help is on the way.

My God.

Pull the hose line and roll!

Jimmy and Joe, come with me.

Check the gas in there.

Has to be the gas valve we just filled.

Let's find the valve and shut it.

Doc, I need one of you over here.

Kim, go help Yokas.
Carlos, call for more units.

Read the situation. Worse cases come first.

5-5-D to central..

Anyone who can walk?

Go outside and the
paramedic will take care of you.

Nice and easy. Nice and easy.

Oh my God.

Hey, open it. Don't move, don't move.

Ow.

Alright, listen kids, I don't
what any of you guys to move.

We're gonna play a little game.

You guys all know "Simon Says?"

Sir! Can you hear me?

You alright? Alright.

Can you stand up?

What?

Can you hear me?

I can't catch my breath.

- Doc, we? t? red. - 'Be right there.'

'Tag her and move on.'

Shut off that gas valve.

Doc, in here.

Okay.

- Alright. - Alright.

Okay.

Sit tight, you're gonna be okay.

Sir, Hang on.

We'll get you out as soon as we can.

Anyone available, I need a
board and a collar in the kitchen

right away.

Good.

Simon says, "like a chicken."

Okay, everyone, slowly.

Slowly.

Simon says, "chicken statues."

That's frozen.

Okay?

All you guys stay like that.

No flapping, no moving.

I'll be right back. Okay, chicken statue.

Wings out. Wings out.

Okay, good.

Keep your arms straight,
keep your arms straight.

Simple concept, folks, move back.

- I just know it was a bomb.
- It wasn't a bomb, sir.

- Did you see it? - I saw it.

We were told it was a gas explosion.

That's what they're tellin' you.

Sounded like a bomb to me.
The owner's a Middle-Eastern.

What's that matter?

Could've been their bomb.

They could've been storin' it.

It wasn't a bomb!

Whoa, whoa.

Slow down, have a seat.

We'll take care of you right here, okay?

- Okay, what's your name? - Rayan.

Rayan.

You'll be fine, okay?

You'll be fine.

Easy. Easy.

Okay, hold on. Lemme get the collar on.

Hang on.

Okay.

We're good?

- Yeah. - We're good. let's go.

- I got that. - I know.

Doc!

Carlos, what you got?

Laceration in the
arteries, she's bleeding out.

We gotta scoot and run.

Little hand here!

What kitchen plants a gas
valve behind a 400 pound stove?

Ah! Ain't movin'.

Alright, here you go.

Got it.

Alright.

That's it, good job. Check the basement.

Hang on, we got another
injured on the stairs.

Hey, buddy, can you hear me?

Stay together. Stay together.

- We need a nurse back here. - Got it.

Doc, doc, we need a medic in here.

Chandler, get inside.

Come on, here we go. Fast, fast, fast.

Careful. Stay together, stay together.

So, you know what I was thinking?

You wanna wear my hat? Yeah?

There you go. Hey, what now?

Looks pretty good on you.

Looks bad.

He's alive, Get a stretcher in here.

- I have to pee. - You have to pee?

Okay, uh, you know what,
Simon says, "hold it in."

What a nightmare?

No reading over here. You gettin' anything?

Low levels of hydrocarbons.

Probably residue of gas.

'Wait a minute.'

'I'm gettin' something here.'

'Yeah me too. The hydrocarbons are rising.'

You smell that? Must be comin' out of here.

Oh, man..

I got 30 parts per million,
that's explosive level

let's get out of here.

- What's he saying? - I don't know.

Move. We got a ruptured gas main.

It's off the charts.

Alright, sir.

It's alright, sir.

Everybody, now. Move it.

- Where the hell are they?
- 'They're on their way.'

Let's go, come on. Come on. Let's go.

Let's go!

Semiconscious..

Be right back.

Taylor.

Taylor!

'Taylor, get back here.'

'Taylor, get out of there.'

I'm okay. Be right out.

'Get out of there.'

'Taylor.'

'Taylor, you get outta there.'

Daddy?

Oh, my God.

Where's my daddy?

Oh, God, oh..

'I got a kid trapped in here.'

Alex, repeat. A kid?

'A little girl, she's stuck.'

I can't get to her.

And the air's not
gettin' any better in here.

'We're on our way.'

My leg, it's gone, my foot hurts.

Am I gonna die?

Now, you listen to me.

There's no way you're gonna die. No way.

You won't leave me?

I got nowhere else to be, alright.

So, you hang in there.

And we'll figure out a way
to get over to you, okay?

Alright.

Anyone home?

Hey.

Okay..

Are you hurt anywhere else?

I don't think so.

Alex?

Over here, Jimmy.

You in there with the girl?

Yeah. We're gonna need a
couple of bottle jacks back here

this thing that's fallen
on her, weigh about ton.

'Lombardo, we need two bottle jacks.'

'Comin' in.'

Any update on the gas spill?

'East Bay just got here.'

Okay, hurry, we'd appreciate it.

My name's Alex. Who are you?

Nazira.

Nazira?

Oh, that's a pretty name.

What's it mean?

I don't know.

My dad's from Lebanon.

'Is he okay?'

Ooh, you really got yourself
pinned in here, didn't you?

Ooh, sorry.

One, two, three.

Aah!

He's off to the hospital, Nazira.

They're gonna take very good care of him.

And you're not gonna leave me?

No. No, I'm not gonna leave you.

Not in a million years.

'How's she doin', Alex?'

Her foot's pinned, it might be broken

but other than that she's doing okay.

Good, we'll take over, move out.

No, don't leave me.

- 'I won't, I promise.'
- I'll stay with you, sweetie.

It's gonna be fine, I promise.

That's an order, Taylor,
not a request. Move out.

No, we're doin' fine, Lou.

You got no turnouts, protection,
and no helmet. Move out!

We gotta watch her foot when
we bring this up with the mixer.

She's just like her ol' man.

- Heads up, Jimmy. - Yeah, got 'em.

Joe, get back outside, keep
everybody stand in the clear.

Everybody, clear.

Jimmy, get it under here
and let's just step out.

'See, it's not gonna be long now.'

'No sparks.'

Talk to me, guys.

- Mine's good to go.
- Mine, too. Let's do it.

Okay, I'll pull, you push.

Here we go.

Push, Nazira. Push..

Ah, my foot!

One, two, three.

Got her.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Move, move! Move, move!

No, no, forget the stretcher.

Her foot's broken.

You're comin' with me?

Oh, you think I'm leavin' you now?

So much for business as usual, huh?

Yeah, those days are gone.

These jokers. I swear.

HazMat cleared the dental office.

Corn starch again.

Those bastards got me.

Who?

'Who? Them.'

'I knew that powder was crap.'

And I would've known
that fire was just a fire

but with them happening so close together..

At that moment they succeeded.

They had me wonderin', they got me good.

Anybody else readin' the
paper. A couple of hundred

abortion clinics have gotten
envelopes with powder in 'em.

Oh, yeah, the Taliban over there.

Serious right to life is..

As long as people scare easy,
other are happy to scare 'em.

'The other day at Emily's school..'

'...her and like nine of her classmates'

'go down to the nurse's office
complainin' of stomach pains.

Fred goes nuts along
with all the other parents

jumpin' to conclusions,
thinkin' it's like Scarlet fever

or anthrax, or the Andromeda's strain

What was it?

Tuna.

Two day old tuna fish.

They're makin' us nuts.

Yeah, yeah, we're lettin' 'em.

Inventory. I got a strip of gauze left.

Where we at?

I'm still waitin' on two more.

Thanks.

Ruptured artery, the
waitress, she's gonna be okay.

- Really? - Yep.

Just heard.

She can keep her arms, too.

How'd we do, doc?

Still waitin' on that little girls father.

'Well, the burn unit says
that it's only second degree'

'he's gonna be fine.'

'See you later.'

No fatalities, not one.

Zero fatalities?

Perfect score.

Jimmy said you were pretty great.

Do you miss him?

Your dad?

Yeah, sure.

All the time?

Nah, just certain times, you know..

That thing you said about, forgetting..

Gets farther away.

Mmm-hmm.

I don't wanna forget.

Well, I said I forget the details but him..

Him..

My dad, my scent of him never goes away.

Even to this day if I'm
yelling at the Giants on TV

or if I hear a Motown song on the radio..

If I'm eatin' peanut
butter on cheese crackers.

I could polish off a whole
box and a jar in one sitting.

That's my dad with apples.

Don't get me wrong, you
could eat a 100 apples

and not think of 'em.

But when you bite into that one..

Sometimes you just feel him.

'It's like he's right there with you.'

It's weird.

I used to be afraid of the dark.

As a kid, you know..

Bed time.

And my dad would
always come in and tell me..

"any daughter of mine
is too brave to be afraid."

I know I didn't feel brave so I..

I just pretended.

Figured if I could make him think I was..

Maybe that'd be good enough.

Was it?

It worked today.

- Night, Jimmy. - Goodnight.

Anyone up for a beer?

- Thanks, I gotta get home. - Yeah, me too.

Somebody throw down my bag.

Thanks.

Joe, beer?

No, I got lager waitin' at home.

Hey, you, uh..

You get a visit today?

Yeah. You too?

Who's Joey's pediatrician?

- Kedar.. - Damn.

I knew that.

Yeah, caught us off guard, huh?

Well, night.

You were good with those kids today.

Thanks.

You been thinkin' about Joey's birthday?

Yeah, it's this weekend, what about it?

I don't know, I..

Look, I was just thinkin'.. No, look..

However this thing turns out, alright..

You know however this lady ends up

recommending how custody should go

Jimmy, I was counting on having him.

We're going to the Bronx zoo.

You think we could all go?

No, look, hear me out on this, Kim.

Why don't you and me, let's
just put everything aside and..

Why don't we just give
Joey a real birthday?

Like a family again even
if it's just for one day.

Don't you think that
would mess with his head?

Would it?

We should make it clear to Joey.

He sees us at each
others throats every time

what would be the harm in showing him

his parents could still
be nice to each other.

It's just an idea.

It's a good idea.

Okay, then?

Okay, then.

Give him a kiss for me.

I will.

Never again, Alex, Johnson
says get out, you get out.

Johnson came down on you?

Well, that's how it works.

You defy an order under
his command that's on you.

Under command that's on me.

He knows I'm a firefighter.

No, you're a paramedic, get that straight.

- Well, maybe I'm both.
- 'Well, you can't be both.'

That's a whole separate
issue and if you have a problem

with that you work it out on your own time.

- Are we clear? - Yeah.

Hmm.

I signed up to work a double
tonight but I can't make it.

That's right, you won't make it.

Carlos is coverin' for you.

Took you off the schedule.

Get some rest.

- Hey. - Hey.

Carlos isn't here...

I know he's workin' the double.
