Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 4, Episode 1 - Lights Up - full transcript

Previously on "Third Watch.."

Just stay away from my family.

Stay away from mine.

I begged you, don't go. You don't listen!

Now, get out of here!

Smell. You carrying narcotics, man?

Narco.. Man.. It's just some weed, man.

Power's out in the entire
city. How'd that happen?

Look, you got no idea what
it's gonna be like out there today.

You really a medic?

- What, you think I make it up?
- What does he need?



It looks like an artery's
pumping out that hole in his...

- So what does he need?
- He needs someone to stop it.

And you can do that?

- Gotta get him to a hospital. - Let's go.

Why are you carrying dope?

You could be somethin'.

How do you know I'm not?

Guess I don't.

Turn around.

Son of a bitch!

What do I call you?

Tatiana or Natasha?

It's a dump.

It's somebody's home. It's not a dump.



- Alright. - Have a little respect!

I said alright!

Fred? Fred? Fred?

We're only the law as
long as people let us.

Enough people want to commit a crime

there's not a damn thing we could do.

'Help us! Somebody!'

Please, somebody!

Help us!

Fred? Fred?

Please, somebody!

Coming through, coming through.

- Out of the way. - Take it easy, man.

If you don't like it, keep your hands

off other people's property.

- You got insurance? - Yeah. Me.

- You wanna brand it, Bosco? - Yeah.

- Sure. - 113-114.

- Who's gonna clean this off?
- Don't worry about it.

It'll wear off in a moment or two.

- 'This what you after?' - What?

Can't hurt anyone from here, huh?

Uh-huh? Yeah.

Hey, you're doin' a great job, officer.

'Citizens of New York are lucky.'

'Oh, dammit. I need help up here now.'

Let me talk to the chief, I don't need a...

- Boss? - 'What?'

Have you heard at all from Faith?

- What? - Faith Yokas, my partner.

She called in or anything?

Not that I know of. Get back out there.

Fred? Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Please, somebody!

Oh, my God. I'm gonna go out.

I'm gonna get us help, okay?

I'm gonna be right back.

You stay with me.

I'm right here with you, okay, baby?

I'm gonna go get us some help, okay?

I'll be right back, Fred.

I'll be right back, baby. Okay?

You hang in there, I'll be right back.

'I'll be right back.'

Top of the car, right there!
Hands on top of the car!

Put your hands on top of the car! Lean on!

Lean on!

- Hey! Hey! - Reach out!

Reach out to the car.

Davis! Davis!

Davis!

You get on that car. Stay on the car.

Davis..

- Back up! Back up! - What is it?

Back away! Come on!

Davis. Davis?

That's the only warning you're gonna get.

You're gonna be sad.

Let's throw them out, baby. Throw them out!

This is 5-5 Charlie.

We're pinned down in a
storefront north of Arthur.

Sergeant, this is 5-5..

- 'I'm sorry, Sully.' - Dammit.

I told you to stay with me.

I know, I just..

This guy came out of
nowhere, took down Jenkins

I just lost it, man. I'm sorry.

This is 5-5 Charlie.

'Police?'

Who's there?

- Police? - Yeah?

Who are you?

My friend needs help.

Alright, Sully. I'm gonna check it out.

'Alright.'

Oh..

I thought you were Faith and Fred.

- They're not here? - 'Who is it?'

They've been gone all day.

- Who is it? - It's me, Em.

Do you know where my mom and dad are?

No, I don't.

We just assumed she was probably at work

with the power out and all.

Hey, Uncle B.

- Were you at the riot? - Riot?

The radio said there's a riot.

No, it's more like a disturbance, Chucky.

Some people just don't know
how to behave themselves.

Could you step out here for a minute?

Is something wrong with mommy and daddy?

Nothing's wrong with
them. It's just a power failure.

She's right, bud. You guys can
go back to what you were doin'.

Yeah. Can you draw me another dog picture?

Okay.

- You too, Em. - What?

Look, I really need to
talk to this lady right now.

- But... - Go play. Please.

Did they say where they
were goin' when they left?

Faith just asked me to sit with the kids

for a little while after school.

They went to the doctor.

My dad got a physical.

The address is in the kitchen.

Want me to get it or should I go play?

Get it.

She's becoming very precocious.

Attitude. I wonder which one
of her parents that comes from.

I need help!

Somebody help us.

Somebody..

They hit him with bricks.

- Oh, man. - He's really hurt.

- Hey, Sully? - 'Yeah?'

This guy's in bad shape.

'Unless we can get some help in here'

'there's not much we can do about it.'

Don't worry, I'll be..
I'll be right back, okay?

I'll be right back.

This is 5-5 Charlie.

We have a 10-13.

Officers need assistance, this location.

'We're with you. 10-13, Charlie.'

We're pinned down in a storefront.

I think we're at 108, north of Arthur.

It's a..

It's some kind of deli.

'10-4, Charlie. We'll get someone to you.'

We need to do something for this guy, Sull.

I got a 10-13 out.

How long till they get here?

- As soon as they can.
- Anyone still out there?

'I'll bet they hid inside
to give us a break.'

- I've got a headlock.
- We're doing medic runs?

What can I say? We're multi-tasking.

- What's your name? - Tom.

- His name's Phil. - Trauma 4.

- My name's Phil?
- That's what your wife said.

I have, I have a wife?

- Are you out of your mind?
- He needed help.

I was right in the middle of everything.

You don't wanna go, don't.

I'm just sayin' that we should have a plan

before we rush into the middle of a..

You're not even listening to me.

Dammit.

John, we've gotta get him out of here.

- What's his name? - Uh..

You don't know your boyfriend's name?

I know it.

It's, um, George.

George what?

George isn't enough?

'Hey, George, can you hear me?'

Now, look, I'm gonna

go out front and see
if they're still out there.

- The hell you are.
- I'm not asking for permission.

Davis... wait!

I'll come with ya.

We'll be back.

Alright, they're gone.

They might be gone.

Well, it's now or never. Let's go get him.

Wait. What have we got here, huh?

A hooker and her date. What was she doing?

Pulling tricks in the middle of a riot?

And she doesn't even know his name.

What difference does that make?

'Cause I'm not gettin' us
killed over some whore.

I'm gettin' him outta here.

Fred?

Fred?

Fred.

'We're sorry, all circuits are
busy. Please try again later.'

Lady, you watch behind us.

You see anything that moves,
I mean anything, you yell.

Come on. Keep movin' it.

- Keep movin'. - Oh, my God.

- Come on! - Keep movin'.

He's having trouble breathing.

He's lost a lot of blood, doc.

- Yup. - You okay? Come on.

Let's go.

Faith, what happened?

Bosco..

- What happened? - Come and help me.

Here we go.

What happened?

I think he's taken a heart attack.

- Are you serious? - Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Hold on. Hold on.

Approximately three minutes out, Central.

Oh, God. You hold on, Fred.

He breathing?

- Well, it's shallow. - Hold on.

Oh, God, Bosco, please take it easy.

No more turns.

Alright. Five blocks to Mercy.

Approximately 50-year-old male

multiple lacerations and
contusions to face and head.

Hit with bricks. LOC time's ten minutes.

BP 90/50, up from 60, palp on the scene

with a liter of saline on board.

Pulse is 120. Pupils
are equal and reactive.

One, two, three.

- Well, we got him here. - Yup.

- I'm gonna hit the head. - Alright.

Is he alright?

I don't know. You want me
to see if you can go in there?

Look out, people.

Uh..

Is there somebody..

Can I clean up somewhere?

Yeah, there's a lounge right over this way.

After you.

EKG, crash cart, and a round of vitals.

Prep the quick look and draw up

the chem panels, CBC and tropamine.

Faith, let him work, let him work.

I can help.

What the hell happened?

Her husband had a heart attack.

Is he gonna be okay?

I don't know.

Hey, Sully, you probably
wanna hang on to this for him.

For who?

The cop you guys just brought in.

It's too early to tell how he's gonna be.

We're sending him down for a CT of his head

but he's stable for right now.

He's a cop?

You didn't know?

Oh.

Hey, you alright?

Yeah. I just stood up too fast.

You should probably
let 'em take a look at you.

Can I leave?

Well, I need to get some
information for the report.

Does it have to be now?

Look, what's really goin' on here?

What do you mean?

I mean, you don't know his last name

you don't wanna go see
if he's gonna be okay.

Is this a, a business arrangement or..

You mean, um, like, am I a whore?

That's not what I meant to say.

Right. That's what your partner said.

Yeah, well, he's got his
own deal going on right now.

But even to me, I gotta tell you, this..

It doesn't make much sense.

I know his last name.

I just asked if it mattered.

Okay, so, so, what's goin' on?

Uh..

Can we do the reports somewhere else?

You alright?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa..

Hey, I need some help in here.

- Is he gonna be alright?
- What's his name?

Fred.

He's in the right place, officer.

I'm gonna need epi and
atropine prepped and standing by.

Get me a fresh line of
numbers and pitch cardio

and the surgical resident.

- Lost his pulse. - We got V-tach.

Fred..

- Charge 200. - Two hundred charging.

- Everybody, clear! - 'Clear.'

'Oh, God..'

- Fred, please. - Get it 300.

- Charge. - Everybody, clear.

Stop. Stop it. You're hurting him.

- If you just...
- Get your hands off of me!

Wait in the lounge, please.

Give me 360. Everybody, clear.

Faith..

Faith.

- Is he, uh..
- Got a rhythm and a weak pulse.

What does that mean?

A rhythm and a pulse is good.
But, he's still in bad shape.

You brought in that
shooting victim earlier, right?

Shooting?

The kid that got hit

with the shotgun in the chest.

Jeez, was that today?

Feels like a month ago.

He made it.

He's gonna be alright.

Yeah?

- Where we goin' next?
- MVA on 109th and 2nd.

Think it'll ever end?

Man, I'm starved.

We haven't, uh, stopped in..

Ten hours.

I know. I was here.

- Hey... - Did you see her push me?

- What? - Proctor.

She actually put her hands on me.

I have never been
anything but nice to that bitch

and she pushed me.

I mean, who the hell does she think she is?

She put her hands on me!

I don't care if I'm out of uniform.

I'm a police officer and
you don't push a cop ever.

Has anybody..

- I want her locked up. - Faith..

Are you gonna arrest her, Bosco,
or are you gonna make me do it?

I'm not arresting Proctor.

You're not?

Why not? It's the only
thing that you're good at.

You don't use your head.

You have no sense of discretion.

You don't help people out here.

You just go around and
you arrest everybody.

Unless I need you to, apparently.

I am your partner, Bosco.

You're supposed to have my back.

I do everything for you.

'And you were never there for me. Ever.'

'I bail you out all the time.'

'And I'm sick of it.'

I'm sick of you! You..

You're just, like, so immature
and you are unreliable

and you are useless!

Do you hear me? You are useless!

Have you called the kids?

Oh..

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. What am I gonna say to them?

I'll go and get 'em.

She passed out in the
lounge. BP 60/70 and falling.

Okay, get three units
O neg on a rapid infuser.

Start pushing saline.

'Call Dan in radiology
for a portable pelvic CT.'

I'm next door with Dr. Boone

prepping a cardiac case for a catheter.

Get the fluids going, keep
me posted on the numbers.

And again, try to get her
some help in here. Please.

Hey, do you know where Officer Yokas went?

- She's here? - You haven't seen her?

No.

Well, if you do, tell her
we're looking for her, okay?

Alright. So, what is it?

Uh, apparent internal bleeding.

- Internal bleeding?
- She a friend of yours?

No, no, I was just, uh..

I..

We came in together.

Alright, well, we have
to get her pressure up

and then we'll know more.

Em..

Emily?

- Bosco? - Yeah.

- Power's back on. - I know.

I have school in..

What happened?

Em, I-I need you to come
with me. You and Charlie.

Is my mom hurt?

No, your mom's fine.

Then what?

Your dad is sick.

- My dad? - Yeah.

We need to go to the hospital.

What's wrong with him?

- He's sick, Em. - How sick?

Look, we have to go right now.

Okay, um, let me wake Charlie up.

'Seeing you will scare him.'

Does my dad need anything?
Any clothes? Anything?

Um, your mom said just to
bring you guys down there.

His favorite pair of pajamas

are in the top drawer of his dresser.

They're really just holey pajama bottoms.

But I'm sure he'll want them.

I need you to get them for me.

Sure.

Okay. Um..

We'll be out in a minute.

That's about all I know right now.

- That him in three? - 'Yeah.'

Why don't you, uh, go on
in. They're expectin' you.

- What's going on? - Where you been?

That lady, uh, Nancy
passed out in the lounge.

Doctor said she's got some
kind of internal bleeding.

Oh, man.

This caper's turning
into a real load of crap.

Yeah.

- Guess who George is. - Hm?

George Hancock.

Chief George Hancock.

- Chief of Patrol. - What, he's a cop?

He's the chief of patrol, Davis.

'A three-star chief.'

And right now, Mrs. Hancock
is being brought down

by the department so she
can be with her husband.

- Mrs. Hancock? - Mrs. Hancock.

Oh, man.

'3194, Janis, 3194.'

- Mommy? - Hey.

Hey, guys. Hi.

Hey. Hey, Em, how are you?

I'm gonna.. I should get back.

I, I have some prisoners I need to process.

Bosco, I'm sorry about before.

I, um.. I'm just.. I'm feelin' a little...

You'll let me know what happens?

- Yeah. - See you guys later.

- Thanks for everything, Bosco. - Sure.

Is daddy alright?

Well, they're gonna fix him.

Well, what's wrong with him?

Um, his heart..

Do you guys want a soda or something

while we're waiting?

No, thanks.

Is daddy going to die?

Charlie, daddy's sick.

He's very sick.

Is he going to die?

Remember when you cut your
leg and you had to have stitches?

And, uh, the doctor fixed it

and it almost didn't hurt at all?

'And then yelled, "Sucker?"'

Well, that's because
there're good doctors here.

Your sister's right, Charlie.

They have very good doctors here.

So, we just all need to keep..

Positive thoughts in our head, okay?

What happened out there, guys?

We, uh, we found him in the trash store

and we got him out of there.

No, I mean, uh, Hancock. What was he doing?

What do you mean doing, sir?

Was he working?

Well, we never saw him before he was hurt.

'So, it's possible that he was working.'

That he was at the scene to help.

'Well, except he was with his, uh..'

Davis.

So, it's possible.

Yeah, I guess it's possible, sir.

- Don't guess.
- It's absolutely possible, sir.

In fact, it's, uh..

Probable that Chief Hancock was..

In the area because he was assisting

with a large disturbance.

Truth be told, his assistance
was invaluable to the troops.

Doesn't really matter, does it, guys?

It would actually be
hard for me to care less

about why he was there, boss.

Excuse me, what are you doing?

We're, um, moving her to another room.

Why?

Hancock's wife will be here any minute.

This room is gonna get awful crowded

with department officials.

And we were told it
wouldn't affect her at all

to be moved to a more private area.

So, you mean, you want to hide her?

Thank you, boss. Can I talk to you?

- I don't need a lesson, Sully.
- What did you say?

Well, that's what you pullin'
me over here for, right?

Give me a big, old lesson
on the real world, how it works.

I know how it works,
man, I know what's goin' on.

I don't really care what they do.

I just want them to call it what it is.

They wanna hide it from the guy's wife.

They don't want to put
her in a more private room.

They're not gonna call it what it is.

That's not the way they do
things. It's not gonna change.

So, why don't you just smile

and let 'em do what they're gonna do?

Unless you can see an
upside to sticking your face out

in front of it and pissin' people off.

People who control your career.

Kinda sucks, man.

You know? Sucks.

'The sun's coming up.'

Already?

We're not going to school today, right?

No, you're not going to school today.

How you doin' over there, kiddo?

I'm okay.

That was nice before

how you made Charlie feel better.

He's just a kid.

Yeah. He is.

Did you really think that you
were gonna go to school today?

Not really, I was just asking for..

I don't know. Sometimes,
it feels like I have to talk.

Well, you brought your books anyway.

No, these are some things
for daddy when he wakes up.

His pajamas, his electric razor.

'Cause I know he doesn't
like being all scratchy

when he doesn't shave.

Um, and stinky stuff.

Aftershave stuff, you
know, things like that.

That was very thoughtful.

Maybe he could feel like he's at home.

You're really growin' up, Em.

Are you sure that you're okay?

- Mom.. - 'Officer Yokas?'

They were able to stabilize
him temporarily with a catheter.

He's gonna need surgery
soon, but he's resting right now.

Can we see him?

- Of course. - Okay.

Come on, Charlie.

- Hey, Dr. Fields? - Yeah?

She alright?

She's conscious again, her BP's back up.

But she's gonna need surgery.

It appears she has a lacerated liver, but..

But what?

Well, she also has some vaginal tearings

and pretty significant
bruising on her inner thighs.

Really?

But she says it isn't true

won't really talk about it.

But I'm fairly certain she was raped.

Now, remember, guys, only a second, okay?

'Cause then daddy has to rest.

And these machines and
things, they make you look

a lot sicker than you really are.

Can he hear us?

Well, he's sleeping right now.

Why don't you go give him a kiss, okay?

Okay. We'll let him rest?

Okay.

Just go wait, okay?

Come on.

- Hey. - 'Hey.'

Is there someone I can
call for you or anything?

You mean, like, family?

- They're in Denver. - Are you from Denver?

I kinda always wanted to go there.

Really? I always wanted to leave.

Look, I was just talking
to the doctor and he said

there's some bruising on your thighs.

I fell down.

If somebody hurt you, I
can do something about it.

Is his wife here yet?

I knew what I was getting myself into.

Falling in love with a married man.

Well, the doctor says it looks
like you might have been raped.

I wasn't even out there.

I wasn't in the store where you found him.

I wasn't there. I wasn't even out there.

And I don't expect you
to understand all of this.

We're all set.

- 'How are you feeling?'
- Let's get this over with.

Alright. I'll be here when you wake up.

- Why? - I don't know.

I guess... somebody should be.

How long will he be in the hospital?

I don't know, Charlie.

A little while.

Can we come every day?

'Course, we can.

Who's going to help with my homework?

I will.

Oh.

Are you going to be home?

Well, I'm gonna be home
as much as I can, you know?

We'll work it out.

You know the times tables?
That's what we're working on.

Yes, Charlie, I know the times tables.

Okay.

Is Emily still in the bathroom?

She's been in there a long time, huh?

Will you wait here?

Gimme a kiss.

Alright, I'll talk to you later.

Gary.

Guy never seems to be
working when it hits the fan.

It's like he's got a horseshoe up his ass.

I can't believe we're
due back in six hours.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

I'm tired. Is it alright if I go home?

Look, I'm, I'm sorry.

- I pushed you.. - Fine.

I mean, I was hot, tired, crabby...

I said fine. Can I go now?

- Well, I wanna talk this out.
- Oh. Now you wanna talk?

I know we had a rough night...

You know, you didn't
wanna talk when I wanted

to stay and help that old man.

You wanna talk before
running in the middle of a riot.

- We had an assignment.
- We had 30 assignments waiting.

But I guess they weren't
important enough for you.

Is that right?

You know, you pick and
choose what we were gonna do.

Who we're supposed to
care about, what's that?

Come on, there were cops calling for help.

And I would have gone.

I just wanted to be asked, man.

You didn't even give me a chance.

Yeah, because I'm the one
who makes those decisions.

Just like you decided I was
gonna take that guy's money?

So that's what's this is really all about?

No, no. It's about you.

You know, you don't wanna
talk to me, you wanna talk at me.

And I'm over it. I'm over you.

You.. You think I give a
damn what you're over, huh?

No. you don't. And that's your problem.

No, that's your problem,
because I'm your superior

and my word is final.

- And you can't deal with that.
- Oh, whatever.

I was doing this job

when you were learning to walk. Okay?

So you can as pissed as you wanna be

but, but you damn well better respect that.

You're proud of that?

All that means is you were
never good enough to move up.

- Go to hell, man!
- Oh, you wanna hit me again?

Go ahead, take it all out on
me, you selfish son of a bitch!

- You're calling me selfish?
- Yeah, I'm calling you selfish!

You of all people?

You know, you know what? I'm
not the one who gave away his kid

because I thought it
would be a pain in my ass.

You know what? You're nothing
but a sad, miserable old man

who's got nothing but a little bit of power

and a crappy little job.

I'm not miserable.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well, hurray for you.

Can I go now, sir?

Whatever, whatever. Yeah..

Bosses were all talking about you.

Hero cop who saved the Chief of Patrol.

Hero, huh?

That's what the paper says.

Wait a minute. What?

You gotta be kiddin' me. Let me see that.

- Nice shot, huh? - Oh.

What? There was a photographer there?

Hey, man, there's always
a camera somewhere.

Well, you think he coulda helped us out

instead of taking that damn picture?

- Yeah, right. - And where are you?

I think that's my elbow right there.

Well, that's not right. You were there.

Yeah.

Last thing I need is my
picture in the damn paper.

Will I need mine?

Hey, come on, forget about it.

You're the one who got
the people out of there.

You don't know what my feelings
are on prostitution these days.

You talked to her, about the rap sheet?

Yeah, she says it isn't
hers. It was huge mistake.

- You believe her?
- I don't know what to believe.

But I do know that I'm gonna fix it so that

it doesn't affect me here
anymore, I promise you that.

Don't do it for me, do it for you.

I just need to know who she really is.

What are you gonna
do if you find out it's her?

Damn if I know.

'There's no guide book on how to handle'

findin' out that your
wife has been arrested

for prostitution four times.

You know, we're all
done. Are you ready to go?

No, I think I'm gonna..

Be here when Nancy comes around.

Maybe I can get her to tell
me what really happened.

This is not the kinda thing that
you wanna get too involved in.

- Well, thanks, dad. - Ha-ha-ha.

I'm good, alright?

You go ahead, I'll get
a ride with somebody.

Well, I'm a hero. I'm a hero cop.

I'll get a ride with somebody.

Alright.

Alright.

- I'll see you later tonight. - 'Yep.'

'Emily?'

Be right out, mom.

Emily?

Are you alright?

I said I'll be right out.

Em, you know, it's okay to cry.

I wasn't crying.

I cry.

Emily.

Emily.

You can talk to me.

- I don't want to! - Emily!

He smelled like medicine.

That's not what daddy smells like.

He smells like..

I just wanted to..

I just wanted to smell him.

It's okay.

Em?

Emily, it's okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

How many damn people did I bring in?

I think you locked up half the precinct.

Latrell Griffith?

Latrell Griffith?

- Yeah. - Come up here.

Do me a favor. Piss off.

That kid lived.

Good.

You did a good job with him.

Whatever.

You ever thought about
being a medic out here?

For the city?

I'm on the list.

At least I was until this narcotics arrest.

I need Griffith kicked loose.

Yeah?

I lost the evidence.

Go get it signed off by
the boss and he's all yours.

Right.

I call for a bust, you better
put me at the top of the list.

Wow, look at this.

I thought that you might be hungry.

I'm starving.

I heard on, on the radio they
have this big fire or something.

They said the light's out,
that some big transform..

- A transformer. Yeah. - Transformer?

A big transformer. Yeah, it blew up.

What is this, vodka, in
the middle of the day?

Hey, after the night I've had

this is gonna go down good. Here you go.

Oh, come on.

You seem happy.

I decided something today.

If you say that's not you on
that rap sheet, I believe you.

- You do? - Yeah.

I mean, life's too short.

What's important is what
we have together, right?

Aw. That's good, baby.

That's good.

To us.

Yeah. To us.

- Ugh. - Ugh!

So, come on. Come on, eat your food.

Yeah.

I could get some shut-eye.

I'm wiped out.

- What about you? - Oh? No, I don't..

Alright.
