Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 4, Episode 10 - Crime and Punishment: Part 2 - full transcript
Bosco and Cruz go after Miguel's shooter. Sully has vague memories of the day before. Ty confronts his boss.
This how you do me?!
You shoot the man who put you down?
Scumbag's a murderer.
You or your paramedics
have to say, "Sir, do you realize
you're in grave danger of dying?"
Look at me.
I saw it.
We're here for the money only.
We do not want to hurt you.
Cooperate and you will not be hurt.
This guy will take you home.
I can walk!
No, you can't! No, you can't walk!
Chief Hancock, time to get some
Christmas presents for the squeeze.
I got a man down here!
I got a man down here!
Miguel, you okay?
Well, it's probably broken.
Can I get a cast?
Yeah, I'm sure they'll hook you up.
Officer Boscorelli?
Yeah?
Thank you.
Mom, what you thanking him for?
He almost shot me.
Hey, I got better aim than that.
Let's go.
I'm going to head upstairs.
The detectives get here, send them up.
Okay, Lieu.
Folks, you want something?
'Cause the show's over here, all right?
Nothing else is going to happen
so I need you all to
clear the sidewalk, please.
I need you to clear
the sidewalk, thank you.
Folks, I need you to clear the sidewalk.
You guys think I'm joking?
Guys, go find someplace else to hang out.
Is Miguel going to be okay?
Is he a friend of yours?
Yeah, he's going to be fine.
Look, gentlemen
this is a crime scene, all right?
Why don't you go stand up there
on the sidewalk and anybody that's
walking this way
tell them they got to cross over
to the other side?
Come on, I could really use the help.
What if they say no?
Well then you tell them to come see me
'cause nobody tells any
of my deputies no, all right?
Is everybody okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Damn!
Gun! Gun!
Crime-Four!
10-13, 10-13!
Shots fired! 106 and Murray!
Ambulance has been ambushed!
Wait for me, Yokas!
Carlos, you all right?
Yeah.
What about Bosco?
Bosco...
I don't know.
He's not here.
Bosco!
Damn it!
You hit?
No.
Where's all this blood com...
Oh, no.
Miguel... Oh, no, no, no, no.
Hold on, kid. Hold on.
You hang on, Miguel.
Looks like one
in the chest, one in the abdomen.
His mother's on the floor.
Have to stop this bleeding first.
Carlos...
I need help here!
Carlos, I need some help
out here.
Let's get him out of here.
Hang on, bud.
Damn it, damn it.
Carlos
get on the horn, all right?
We need some more buses.
It's everywhere. We
need this equipment, Doc.
Keep pressure on that.
Keep pressure on it.
I need you to get on the horn
and get some more buses in here, all right?
The equipment, it's...
Carlos, go to the front
and get some help, now.
All right, all right.
Bosco!
Shooter's westbound on
foot, black male, six foot
like 250, dark clothes, maybe bald...
55-Lieutenant, Central, shooting suspect
is a male, black, dark clothes.
Westbound on Murray from 106.
He's got some kind of auto-pistol.
Be advised, Central
he's armed with an automatic weapon.
Bosco, are you okay?
They weren't shooting at me.
My mommy. Mommy!
Miguel, she's fine.
Miguel, you hang on.
You listen to me, you hang on.
Doc, is he okay?
Bus is five minutes out.
We don't have five minutes.
Come down here
and hold this pressure dressing.
Whoa. You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
All right, grab him.
All right, she's bleeding in the head
but it's not a GSW, it's a lac.
It must have been from the crash.
She's got a GSW to the right lateral thigh.
Radial pulse is good.
She can wait, he can't.
Carlos, I need you to stay with her.
Here? Yeah.
Right here?
Yeah, listen, I need you
to wait for the other bus, all right?
Miguel, it'll be all right.
I need you to stay with her.
Keep an eye on her, keep
pressure on that bleed.
If she wakes up
she's going to be afraid for her son.
All right?
All right.
Okay. Do that.
Doc! He's closing his eyes, Doc.
He's crashing.
Let's get out of here.
We got to go, we got to move.
The RMP, the RMP.
Come on, Miguel.
Be careful with him.
Open that door.
Central, alert Mercy that we are coming in
with a 12-year-old shooting victim.
All right, go.
Go, Yokas!
Captioning sponsored by NBC
and WARNER BROS. TELEVISION
12-year-old male
with multiple GSW's to
the chest and abdomen.
Briefly conscious on scene, was sinus
with pulse, now PEA as we pulled in.
All right, let's get an airway in.
I need a 6-0 ET tube
three mac blade.
Full trauma panel, hamecue and foley.
Open the throacotmoy
tray and betadine the chest.
Hang on, Miguel.
You hear me?
Hang on, buddy.
What are they doing?
What are they doing to him, Doc?
Come on.
Let's go get cleaned up.
Hang on, Miguel.
He was still awake.
Right after, he talked to me.
He was awake.
They'll fix him up, Bosco.
His mother didn't want him to talk.
Oh, his mother. What...
Shalike was...
She's in good hands.
She's in good hands.
Carlos!
You all right?
Uh...
she's got a GSW to the right thigh...
Yeah, you already told us that.
You need help?
No, no, we're good.
Okay.
Are you seeing this?
Yeah, it's like
something out of Bonnie and Clyde.
What's going on out here?
They're shooting people
in the ambulance now?
No way he's getting away with this.
Cops will come down hard.
Good. You know what?
This is no movie, Taylor. Whoa.
I didn't mean...
It was real as hell, okay?
Okay.
They don't pay us for this.
No, they don't.
We got to roll.
They don't pay us enough.
You coming in with us?
What do you think?
I'm just going to stand out here now?
That's not what I...
You know what? Just
get up front, all right?
Carlos?
Let's go.
What the hell happened?
We got ambushed. The bus.
This guy just... came
around the back and...
just, uh...
He opened fire inside the bus.
You saw it?
No, I got there after.
You see the shooter?
I should have protected him.
Bosco, the shooter?
He didn't get a very good look.
Did I ask you?
Well, he told me.
Well, now he can tell me. I'm sure he will.
Look, I need you to focus here, Bosco.
Forget about the victims.
Our job is the perps.
Forget the victims?
If we hadn't pushed him to be a witness...
Vernon was on to him already.
We don't have time
for crying now.
You want to help this kid?
Let's get the guy that did this to him.
Now did you see the shooter or not?
He was black, bald and...
maybe, you know, I don't know.
I couldn't really tell.
But he knew Miguel was in that bus.
It's like he was watching us
the whole time.
Yeah, he was probably with the guy
who chased Miguel down the fire escape.
Oh, he'll know the shooter.
He still here?
They're prepping him for surgery.
He's really out of it.
Bosco...
Hey, stop this thing.
Hey, hey you.
Who was your partner?
What are you doing?
Who were you with?
I'm the one who shot you.
Remember me?
Do this later.
Who was with you, jagoff?
This man has to get up
to the OR.
Or what? Or he'll die?
Like that's going to be some kind of loss?
Bosco...
Now they're going to save his life.
He isn't going to do us
any good dead, is he?
We'll be there, standing
next to him when he wakes up.
Doc?
Yeah?
I'm sorry.
At the scene, in the bus.
I froze, I freaked out.
I'm sorry.
You did fine.
No, I mean, I stood there.
I couldn't move.
So what?
I mean, what exactly do you
think you should have done?
What you did, you know?
You were in control, you did the job.
Yeah, what I did.
I was in control.
Let's get out of here.
Got to get a new bus.
And a new shirt.
Bosco.
His mother?
She's been taken care of.
Nothing more we can do
so, this part is over for us.
Let's go.
You know, when I met this kid
I thought he was nothing but trouble.
The mouth, the attitude.
It was just a matter of time.
He was going to be a problem.
Probably would have been someday.
No, he was a kid.
He wasn't the problem.
Everything else was.
Where he lived, who he
knew, the things he saw.
You got to move on.
Vernon Marks is going to
wish this day never happened.
You going to go stand
on Vernon's head, hmm?
Toss his place, slap
him around a little bit
and he's going to tell
you who did this for him.
He's just going to
cough that name right up.
And lose a few teeth.
No, here's what he's going to do.
He's going to take his beating
he's going to collect his
million-dollar settlement
the city gives him
while they take your entire future away.
I can live with that.
You want to hurt Vernon?
You find the shooter.
That's who we need to talk to
and every second that I
spend holding onto your leash
that shooter gets further and further away.
What do you want me to do?
This is not an international crime ring.
He used one of his own guys to do this.
We go back to his 'hood
we lean on someone we got leverage on
shake his tree until the name falls out.
Okay, when we find this guy
and he doesn't want to talk any
more than Vernon, then what?
I can be pretty damn persuasive.
And what if that doesn't work?
I let you off your leash.
No. Detectives and gang
units are already on the scene.
All I'd do is get in the way.
That's right.
Let me know.
All the cops all right?
Yeah.
And the medics?
As I understand it.
No injuries from the services.
Sir, about Officer Sullivan...
I know he messed up today...
Do you really want to talk about this now?
He's had it rough lately.
His wife was murdered.
His whole...
What happened today, that's not him.
That, that, that wasn't him, and...
Yeah?
I'm on the way.
All right, I'll be there in five minutes.
He wasn't even on duty today, sir.
Take me downtown.
The mayor wants a briefing.
Going to be a long night.
After you drop me off, I
need you to deliver this.
Yes, to Nancy.
If I could take it myself, I would.
Hey, this is not part of my job.
Delivering mail to your
little side dish is not...
Your job is to do
whatever the hell I tell
you to do. Why do you
want to put me in this?
You know how I feel about it.
I'm not asking you to double-date with us.
Just hand her the envelope.
When you get back
we'll talk about Officer Sullivan.
Police! Everybody down! Everybody down!
All right!
I didn't do nothing!
Now, what the hell, man?!
What's going on?!
You're under arrest; outstanding warrants.
All clear, Sarge.
Got it.
I don't got no warrants.
Forget a date with your
parole officer last week?
I called him.
He said it was all right.
Well, I guess he changed his mind.
Sit down.
Tell me about your boy Vernon.
Who? Vernon Marks.
Who'd he ask to take out a witness today?
Vernon? I don't know no Vernon.
This is a bad time to play clown, Del.
Don't even waste your time
Bosco.
Try to stay with me here.
You got two convictions
for possession with intent
another six months on paper
for that.
What do you think a new
possession hit does for you?
Something maybe as small as...
couple of rocks?
Come on, Cruz, that's not right.
I'm having a bad day, Del,
and when that happens...
you have a worse day.
Keep an eye on him, Bosco.
I got a real good feeling
about the bedroom.
Mmm. Hope they saved
your titty books up at Rikers.
Hate to see you have to replace
the whole damn collection.
No, wait, Cruz!
Who shot up the ambulance today?
Now or never, Del.
All right, all right.
Who?
I heard it was...
I can't hear you. Maybe it was LaVonne.
"Maybe" ain't gonna get it.
It was LaVonne.
LaVonne Jackson.
What's he look like?
Bald.
Big, like six-six.
Where does he live?
I don't know where he live.
He move around a lot
'cause of that crazy-ass pit bull he got.
One of Vernon's crew
had a white pit bull with him
the day Wiggy got shot.
Where's the last place he stayed at?
With some whore up on 109th.
I don't know the address.
Well, you're going to show us.
Get up.
Get up.
No, leave him.
We don't want his friends to think
he's palling around with us, do we, Del?
No, ma'am, thank you.
Mm-hmm. We'll save that option
for when you try to lead
us to the wrong building.
I wouldn't do that.
You won't now.
Put some pants on.
Thank you.
Yeah?
Forget it.
No, what?
That was pretty good.
You know, actually...
that was great in there.
What?
I thought I knew
what I was doing out here
but I guess I don't.
Smartest thing I've heard you say.
All that about searching the place
and dropping the rocks...
I don't know, I...
I never would have thought
to say that.
Use it, no charge.
What if he would have called your bluff?
Bluff? Yeah.
You never tell a skel
you're going to do something
you're not prepared to do.
Never.
How are you, Ty?
Uh, I been better.
Every time George cancels
I fix myself a drink, turn on the TV
and look for bad news about cops.
Did you know any of the officers
who were shot at?
Yeah. Uh, I'm his errand
boy now, so there you go.
Would you like to come in?
No. No.
Did I miss something?
I don't recall you being so rude.
I'm sorry. It's not enough
that I'm the bag man?
I have to be polite about it, too?
"Bag man"?
These are plane tickets
to go see my mother in Denver.
Every year around this time
he takes me out to dinner
and he gives me this
my Christmas present.
And then it's good-bye until January.
It makes him feel less guilty.
Well, what about you? You ever feel guilty?
Sometimes you don't get to
choose who you care about.
No, but you can choose
what you do about it, how you act.
You mean like your father did?
Hancock sure been running his mouth, huh?
My family is none of your business.
Exactly. Exactly.
Maybe you should tell George
to leave me the hell alone.
I can go back to my regular assignment
we can stay completely
out of each other's business
and forget we ever met, how about that?
We're not hurting anyone here.
All right.
This man has a wife and kids.
If they don't know about you yet
they will one day
and they're all going to feel
like they've been cheated on.
What do you know...?
And let's not forget that if you weren't
in this situation in the first place
you wouldn't have to pretend
that you weren't assaulted
during that blackout,
so don't delude yourself.
You're hurting people.
Team one's in position.
We're going to force the door.
One, two...
LaVonne! D.T.!
Get off me! Get off me!
Get off me! Get off me!
Get off me! Get off me!
LaVonne! LaVonne!
Bitch, you better get off me.
Shut the hell up! Down!
You mess with me...
Damn it!
Or anything that's mine
you messing with your life, bitch!
Bitch! Face to the floor!
Next time, just hit the bitch.
You all ready?
Um, I can't find my English notebook.
Red spiral? Yeah.
In the top bureau drawer.
I wasn't sure whose it was.
Thanks, Dad.
How are things going with that counselor?
You mean, shrink?
I mean, counselor.
She didn't seem to
think I'm nuts or anything.
She's just someone to talk to.
Really?
We mostly just stare at each other.
Em, are you sure you're ready to go back?
'Cause if you want
you can take another day.
I'm already behind in my classes
and I miss my friends.
I want to go back.
Okay.
Then, I'll-I'll drive you.
What?
Well, I got to go to
court later on, you know
and I'm up already.
So, I'll-I'll give you a ride.
Mom, I want to go to
school the way I always do.
I'm going to get on the bus
and I'm going to ride past that bank
and I'll be all right, okay?
Let's go, Charlie.
Your sister's ready.
It'll be all right, Faith.
She'll be fine.
How bad was I?
You don't remember?
Well, I...
I remember my version.
Yeah, how's that go?
All I wanted was to see my mother...
and ...and I guess I
mouthed off a little bit
to a three-star chief.
You're kidding, right?
I got a little out of hand.
A little? Yeah.
So, you took a swing at a rent-a-cop
then you told the Chief of Patrol
not to marry his squeeze.
Aw, God, I brought her into it?
He suspended you; they took your shield
and your gun away.
You have no recollection of that?
I'll talk to him.
It's past that, man.
I'll apologize.
I'll kiss the ring
throw myself on his mercy.
I already tried that.
Don't.
Whatever mess I made, it's my problem.
I don't need you fighting my battles.
I'll apologize.
Hancock's been around.
He'll understand.
No, he won't understand.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Davis
I can handle it.
I got to go.
I can't be late.
What does that mean?
Okay, when will you know?
All right, no, look, I'm sorry, all right?
I'll call back.
That the hospital?
Yeah, Miguel's still critical.
They don't know if he's going to make it.
And the mother?
Stable...
stable, and I'll bet, real pissed off.
You get anything?
I got to say, LaVonne's girlfriend's tough.
She isn't going to give him up.
She's either way in love with him
or real afraid.
So, what now?
I got Northcutt and Howard
scooping up her kids at grandma's.
Her kids?
Yeah. Let's see if she loves
her man enough to lose them
and I want to her to see their little faces
when she makes that decision.
Hey, Bosco, how you doing?
Oh, you heard, huh?
Yeah, everyone did.
Great.
I'm fine. What are you doing here so early?
I'm not early. It's 3:00.
Already?
I never went home.
So, what happened with Vernon?
I had to kick him loose
an hour and a half ago.
A.D.A. says we don't have a
case unless we talk to Miguel.
We did get a name
on the shooter, though... LaVonne Jackson.
Yeah, they're going to
pass out a picture at roll call.
That's nice work.
It was Cruz. She's good.
Right.
Got the guy's girlfriend in interrogation.
See if she can give us any
idea where he might be holing up.
Yeah, I heard you. You're
gonna dangle their little faces?
Anything that helps.
Anything, really?
Like using children as bait?
Scaring the hell out of them
seeing their mother chained to a wall?
Officer.
Sergeant.
Sarge, where do you want them?
Ah, with me.
Come on, you want to go see Mama?
Let's go in here.
Well, looks like you
got all the help you need.
Faith, I'm after a guy that shot a kid.
Bosco...
it's showtime.
Let's shut this.
You know, Davis agrees with
you, what you said at the hospital.
We talked about it last night.
He thinks I did all I could, too.
Good for you.
Did you see that the press
gave it a name... "Ambulance Ambush"?
Yeah. Yeah, I saw. What'd Joy say about it?
Yeah, it must've been
nice having her to talk to.
You know, all I have is Davis.
You know, he's a good guy,
but he's no woman, right?
Of course, my story's different than yours
staring death in the
face, performing anyway...
Carlos, do yourself a favor
and stop talking about it, all right?
That's easy for you to say.
You'll probably get a damn award.
Hey! Shut up, okay?
All right? Do you think
you could do that?! Please!
You're blocking traffic.
Make sure E.S.U. knows
there's going to be
plainclothes units on scene.
You got something?
An address he usually stays at, Boss.
You need anything? We got it.
That woman sure gets things done.
Yeah.
That she does.
You...
He's having lunch with you, in public?
I insisted.
My flight's not for a couple hours.
So, I thought I'd say
good-bye... give him his present.
Sounds like a plan.
He's waiting for you.
He can wait.
Walk with me a minute.
No, I'm supposed to...
I got to wait with the car.
Oh, come on, just a second.
All right.
Listen, George is extremely ambitious.
I think that's why he
doesn't understand you.
I'm not that tough to understand.
He wants to help me; I don't want his help.
Oh, he doesn't want to help you.
He just wants to buy you off.
He wants to run for office
and he's scared that you're
going to screw it up for him.
How would I do that?
Oh, come on... by talking
to the press about me.
I mean, you bring me up
to him every chance you get.
That's only because I think
something should have been
done about you being attacked.
He barely admits it happened
and you won't even talk about it.
In that store, I did what I had to
do to get them to leave us alone.
Wait, wait; you're
saying you let it happen?
Well, when the option is
watching someone you love
beaten to death in front of you
you find a surprising amount of resolve.
You think you can tell me who they were?
I don't know who they were.
I didn't get their card.
What did they look like?
Something, anything.
Oh... God.
Can't you both forget it?
All I want is for it to go away
and it never can because
you keep bringing it up.
You're worse than George.
This isn't what I wanted to talk about.
I wanted to tell you that it's over.
I'm not coming back from Denver.
I'm going to tell George at lunch.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn.
Why you telling me?
That night... your kindness...
When you didn't know who I was
and you didn't know who he was...
The gentleness in your eyes
it was exactly the thing I needed
and I'll never be able to
thank you enough for that.
Listen, you should take advantage
of what he's offering you, Ty.
He's a man of his word.
No, no. I can make my
own way in the department.
I don't need any favors from anybody.
Do you know what "tilting at windmills" is?
Yeah, it's from Don Quixote.
Ooh!
And I don't want to
knock over any windmills.
I just want to be left alone, that's it.
You're not like the rest of the cops.
Why, 'cause I read a book?
Because you still
haven't stopped believing
that the good guys always win
and the bad guys always lose.
It's sweet.
Really...
it is.
Thanks for everything.
All clear, Sergeant. Place is empty.
What, he's not here?
Damn it!
We'll get him.
It just won't be today.
And that... and that's okay with you?
Hey.
What?!
I'm talking to you, here.
Hey, Lieu.
No dice.
Yeah.
No.
I don't think he's gone too far.
Haywood Bus Lines.
This is reservations.
Where would you like to go?
Haywood Bus Line.
The depot!
Hello? Hello?
5-5 Crime Sergeant to Central.
Notify Port Authority Police
to halt all outgoing bus traffic
at the George Washington
Bridge bus terminal on 178.
Do not...
I repeat... do not
approach any of the buses.
Will notify further
upon my arrival.
If the bus didn't already leave.
The canned ravioli was still warm, Bosco.
Just stay cool.
How was lunch?
It was fine.
Nancy's on her way to the airport?
You saw her go in?
She stopped by and said hi.
First time she's insisted on lunch
in midtown in broad daylight.
I should've guessed discretion
was already out the window.
What did she say to you?
Uh... that she wasn't
coming back from Denver.
Ever.
That's what she said?
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
You think she means it?
Why are we having this discussion?
Central to Car Three.
5-5 Watch Lieutenant
relates a possible location
on shooting suspect LaVonne Jackson
at the George Washington
Bridge bus station.
10-4.
She's not much for drama, Davis.
And she's never said she
wasn't coming back before.
Let's go.
Haywood.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you know where the
Haywood bus lines leave from?
What?
Haywood!
Up top.
Okay, you two, you stay here.
I don't want him getting past us.
You two with me.
Let's go.
Okay, clear the floor.
Check the bathrooms.
We're looking for a LaVonne Jackson.
Six-three, bald, black.
Considered armed and dangerous.
Buses are on the roof.
Come with us.
Excuse us. Police.
Let's take the stairs.
Listen to me.
This guy is bad news.
He don't care.
Remember, do not hurt him.
We need to talk to this guy.
Excuse me, I've got to clear through here.
I've got to clear.
Police.
I'm just looking for someone.
Don't get alarmed.
I'm just looking for someone.
No sweat, guys.
All right, everybody stay on this bus.
Go!
Get down!
Give it up, LaVonne!
Give it up!
It's over!
Ain't never over!
All right, it's done.
Drop that gun!
Don't do it.
LaVonne, don't do it!
No!
5-5 Crime Sergeant to Central.
We need a bus forthwith at this location.
Get on that bus!
Oh, no.
No way.
LaVonne.
LaVonne.
LaVonne, you live, you son of a bitch!
What did you do?
What did you do?
He's dead.
You happy now? He's dead.
Are you happy?
He's dead!
Now he's not going to give us
a damn thing!
Now what, huh?
He can't give us Vernon.
Now what, Sergeant?!
Without him
we got nothing!
You hear me? We got nothing.
Sir, do you understand that you're
in grave danger of dying?
The words that you
say to me may be the last words
that you speak.
I need you to tell us
who told you to hurt Miguel White.
All right.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
You heard that?
Every word.
He said it was Vernon Marks.
He confessed.
He said he shot Miguel
White for Vernon Marks.
Those were his last words.
Did you hear that on the radio?
They got the guy that shot at us.
I heard.
We should get over there.
Cops might need you to I.D. the body.
They aren't going to need me.
Why not? It might be the
missing piece of the puzzle.
I mean...
Carlos, I didn't see the guy.
I barely even saw the gun.
As soon as I heard it, I ducked.
I didn't... I didn't look at our patient
or his mother or anybody else
until it was over
and the guy was gone.
I wasn't in control.
So you did what everybody else did?
Yeah. I was right next to the kid.
I could have...
I don't know.
I'm supposed to be the
paramedic of the year
but what I did was duck.
He wouldn't be alive
right now if hadn't been for you.
You got that kid to the
hospital in a squad car.
A kid in full arrest with two
GSW's and no equipment.
After.
Wait, wait. So what are you saying
you should have done?
Jumped in front of him?
Taken the bullet for him?
What?
No, no.
Right. So what does
that say about what I did?
What you did?
If all you did was save this kid's life
what was my contribution?
I left you alone at the
scene with the mother
because I knew that no
matter what you were feeling
you'd do the job.
Are you complimenting me?
Hell, no.
Right.
Guess who, Vernon?
Bosco!
What's up, hot panties?
Where's your backup?
Y'all ain't scared to come around here?
Oh, don't tell me... ol' Wiggy back
from the dead, huh?
We're way past Wiggy.
LaVonne gave you up, man.
LaVonne?
You're under arrest.
For arranging
the attempted murders of two witnesses...
two paramedics...
and a police officer.
And you'd better hope that
that little boy hangs on
because if he dies
you've got a capital case against you.
Ouch. That's got to hurt.
LaVonne put my name in his mouth?
That little bitch.
He a walking dead man.
He gonna pay.
Oh, he gonna pay hard.
This Harlem, son.
I'm the man out here.
Look at 'em, Vernon.
Look at 'em.
They're all out here
to watch you fall.
And they can't wait for
you to be gone forever.
You hear me? For good.
You'll be forgotten in a week
because of one little boy.
One little boy had the stones
to stand up to you.
He's twice the man you'll ever be.
I'll be back.
No, you won't. Not this time.
Yes, I will.
Get my bail, son.
Come on, it's time to go home.
I'm ready to make a deal with you.
What now?
Well, let's...
You're looking to make a deal
I'm ready to make one with you.
Talk to me.
Sullivan's going to get
ahold of you and apologize
and I want you to accept it.
Just drop the whole thing.
Let him come back to work.
Is that right? Yeah.
Look, you take his job away from him
I really don't know what's
going to happen to him.
I suspended him already.
This is all he's got, okay?
That's not really my concern.
He keeps his job.
He's going to apologize
going to get his act
together, you leave him alone.
I think you're a little
confused here, Officer.
I don't know.
I mean, you think I'm going to
go to the press, talk about Nancy
ruin things for you, right?
Hey, that's the last
thing I'd ever want to do
but you mess with Sullivan, trust me
I'll do it in a heartbeat.
You're threatening me?
For him?
No, sir.
I'm just looking out for my best friend.
So you leave him alone, I leave you alone.
Everybody's happy.
I thought you didn't make deals.
No breaks, no favors...
no exceptions, isn't that your thing?
Yeah, I've revised my thinking on that.
What do you say?
What about being my driver?
I hate being your driver.
And we both know it should be
somebody else.
You're back to your regular assignment.
Tell Sullivan to report to headquarters.
He's back to full duty.
He can't know I did this.
You have to call him in yourself.
You are a real pain in the ass, Davis.
From you, sir, that's kind of a compliment.
Chief...
Thank you, sir.
Yes.
Hey.
You hear?
We got him.
Yeah. Word is with his dying declaration
he rolled on Vernon.
This jagoff's going to be a guest
of the State of New York for a long time.
What'd you do with the girlfriend?
The girlfriend?
Yeah, the woman with the two kids?
The one that gave you
LaVonne's address?
Being processed, I guess.
We did what we had to do.
That's what you said.
But you don't agree.
I don't think anything is worth
terrorizing children over.
These people shot a 12-year-old
in the back of an ambulance.
And what did this woman's kids do?
We would have found another way.
I got to go.
I'm going to go tell Miguel and his mother
that Vernon's going away.
Is it true?
What?
Did he really give you Vernon?
Just between you and me, is it true?
Completely true.

You shoot the man who put you down?
Scumbag's a murderer.
You or your paramedics
have to say, "Sir, do you realize
you're in grave danger of dying?"
Look at me.
I saw it.
We're here for the money only.
We do not want to hurt you.
Cooperate and you will not be hurt.
This guy will take you home.
I can walk!
No, you can't! No, you can't walk!
Chief Hancock, time to get some
Christmas presents for the squeeze.
I got a man down here!
I got a man down here!
Miguel, you okay?
Well, it's probably broken.
Can I get a cast?
Yeah, I'm sure they'll hook you up.
Officer Boscorelli?
Yeah?
Thank you.
Mom, what you thanking him for?
He almost shot me.
Hey, I got better aim than that.
Let's go.
I'm going to head upstairs.
The detectives get here, send them up.
Okay, Lieu.
Folks, you want something?
'Cause the show's over here, all right?
Nothing else is going to happen
so I need you all to
clear the sidewalk, please.
I need you to clear
the sidewalk, thank you.
Folks, I need you to clear the sidewalk.
You guys think I'm joking?
Guys, go find someplace else to hang out.
Is Miguel going to be okay?
Is he a friend of yours?
Yeah, he's going to be fine.
Look, gentlemen
this is a crime scene, all right?
Why don't you go stand up there
on the sidewalk and anybody that's
walking this way
tell them they got to cross over
to the other side?
Come on, I could really use the help.
What if they say no?
Well then you tell them to come see me
'cause nobody tells any
of my deputies no, all right?
Is everybody okay?
Yeah, I think so.
Damn!
Gun! Gun!
Crime-Four!
10-13, 10-13!
Shots fired! 106 and Murray!
Ambulance has been ambushed!
Wait for me, Yokas!
Carlos, you all right?
Yeah.
What about Bosco?
Bosco...
I don't know.
He's not here.
Bosco!
Damn it!
You hit?
No.
Where's all this blood com...
Oh, no.
Miguel... Oh, no, no, no, no.
Hold on, kid. Hold on.
You hang on, Miguel.
Looks like one
in the chest, one in the abdomen.
His mother's on the floor.
Have to stop this bleeding first.
Carlos...
I need help here!
Carlos, I need some help
out here.
Let's get him out of here.
Hang on, bud.
Damn it, damn it.
Carlos
get on the horn, all right?
We need some more buses.
It's everywhere. We
need this equipment, Doc.
Keep pressure on that.
Keep pressure on it.
I need you to get on the horn
and get some more buses in here, all right?
The equipment, it's...
Carlos, go to the front
and get some help, now.
All right, all right.
Bosco!
Shooter's westbound on
foot, black male, six foot
like 250, dark clothes, maybe bald...
55-Lieutenant, Central, shooting suspect
is a male, black, dark clothes.
Westbound on Murray from 106.
He's got some kind of auto-pistol.
Be advised, Central
he's armed with an automatic weapon.
Bosco, are you okay?
They weren't shooting at me.
My mommy. Mommy!
Miguel, she's fine.
Miguel, you hang on.
You listen to me, you hang on.
Doc, is he okay?
Bus is five minutes out.
We don't have five minutes.
Come down here
and hold this pressure dressing.
Whoa. You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
All right, grab him.
All right, she's bleeding in the head
but it's not a GSW, it's a lac.
It must have been from the crash.
She's got a GSW to the right lateral thigh.
Radial pulse is good.
She can wait, he can't.
Carlos, I need you to stay with her.
Here? Yeah.
Right here?
Yeah, listen, I need you
to wait for the other bus, all right?
Miguel, it'll be all right.
I need you to stay with her.
Keep an eye on her, keep
pressure on that bleed.
If she wakes up
she's going to be afraid for her son.
All right?
All right.
Okay. Do that.
Doc! He's closing his eyes, Doc.
He's crashing.
Let's get out of here.
We got to go, we got to move.
The RMP, the RMP.
Come on, Miguel.
Be careful with him.
Open that door.
Central, alert Mercy that we are coming in
with a 12-year-old shooting victim.
All right, go.
Go, Yokas!
Captioning sponsored by NBC
and WARNER BROS. TELEVISION
12-year-old male
with multiple GSW's to
the chest and abdomen.
Briefly conscious on scene, was sinus
with pulse, now PEA as we pulled in.
All right, let's get an airway in.
I need a 6-0 ET tube
three mac blade.
Full trauma panel, hamecue and foley.
Open the throacotmoy
tray and betadine the chest.
Hang on, Miguel.
You hear me?
Hang on, buddy.
What are they doing?
What are they doing to him, Doc?
Come on.
Let's go get cleaned up.
Hang on, Miguel.
He was still awake.
Right after, he talked to me.
He was awake.
They'll fix him up, Bosco.
His mother didn't want him to talk.
Oh, his mother. What...
Shalike was...
She's in good hands.
She's in good hands.
Carlos!
You all right?
Uh...
she's got a GSW to the right thigh...
Yeah, you already told us that.
You need help?
No, no, we're good.
Okay.
Are you seeing this?
Yeah, it's like
something out of Bonnie and Clyde.
What's going on out here?
They're shooting people
in the ambulance now?
No way he's getting away with this.
Cops will come down hard.
Good. You know what?
This is no movie, Taylor. Whoa.
I didn't mean...
It was real as hell, okay?
Okay.
They don't pay us for this.
No, they don't.
We got to roll.
They don't pay us enough.
You coming in with us?
What do you think?
I'm just going to stand out here now?
That's not what I...
You know what? Just
get up front, all right?
Carlos?
Let's go.
What the hell happened?
We got ambushed. The bus.
This guy just... came
around the back and...
just, uh...
He opened fire inside the bus.
You saw it?
No, I got there after.
You see the shooter?
I should have protected him.
Bosco, the shooter?
He didn't get a very good look.
Did I ask you?
Well, he told me.
Well, now he can tell me. I'm sure he will.
Look, I need you to focus here, Bosco.
Forget about the victims.
Our job is the perps.
Forget the victims?
If we hadn't pushed him to be a witness...
Vernon was on to him already.
We don't have time
for crying now.
You want to help this kid?
Let's get the guy that did this to him.
Now did you see the shooter or not?
He was black, bald and...
maybe, you know, I don't know.
I couldn't really tell.
But he knew Miguel was in that bus.
It's like he was watching us
the whole time.
Yeah, he was probably with the guy
who chased Miguel down the fire escape.
Oh, he'll know the shooter.
He still here?
They're prepping him for surgery.
He's really out of it.
Bosco...
Hey, stop this thing.
Hey, hey you.
Who was your partner?
What are you doing?
Who were you with?
I'm the one who shot you.
Remember me?
Do this later.
Who was with you, jagoff?
This man has to get up
to the OR.
Or what? Or he'll die?
Like that's going to be some kind of loss?
Bosco...
Now they're going to save his life.
He isn't going to do us
any good dead, is he?
We'll be there, standing
next to him when he wakes up.
Doc?
Yeah?
I'm sorry.
At the scene, in the bus.
I froze, I freaked out.
I'm sorry.
You did fine.
No, I mean, I stood there.
I couldn't move.
So what?
I mean, what exactly do you
think you should have done?
What you did, you know?
You were in control, you did the job.
Yeah, what I did.
I was in control.
Let's get out of here.
Got to get a new bus.
And a new shirt.
Bosco.
His mother?
She's been taken care of.
Nothing more we can do
so, this part is over for us.
Let's go.
You know, when I met this kid
I thought he was nothing but trouble.
The mouth, the attitude.
It was just a matter of time.
He was going to be a problem.
Probably would have been someday.
No, he was a kid.
He wasn't the problem.
Everything else was.
Where he lived, who he
knew, the things he saw.
You got to move on.
Vernon Marks is going to
wish this day never happened.
You going to go stand
on Vernon's head, hmm?
Toss his place, slap
him around a little bit
and he's going to tell
you who did this for him.
He's just going to
cough that name right up.
And lose a few teeth.
No, here's what he's going to do.
He's going to take his beating
he's going to collect his
million-dollar settlement
the city gives him
while they take your entire future away.
I can live with that.
You want to hurt Vernon?
You find the shooter.
That's who we need to talk to
and every second that I
spend holding onto your leash
that shooter gets further and further away.
What do you want me to do?
This is not an international crime ring.
He used one of his own guys to do this.
We go back to his 'hood
we lean on someone we got leverage on
shake his tree until the name falls out.
Okay, when we find this guy
and he doesn't want to talk any
more than Vernon, then what?
I can be pretty damn persuasive.
And what if that doesn't work?
I let you off your leash.
No. Detectives and gang
units are already on the scene.
All I'd do is get in the way.
That's right.
Let me know.
All the cops all right?
Yeah.
And the medics?
As I understand it.
No injuries from the services.
Sir, about Officer Sullivan...
I know he messed up today...
Do you really want to talk about this now?
He's had it rough lately.
His wife was murdered.
His whole...
What happened today, that's not him.
That, that, that wasn't him, and...
Yeah?
I'm on the way.
All right, I'll be there in five minutes.
He wasn't even on duty today, sir.
Take me downtown.
The mayor wants a briefing.
Going to be a long night.
After you drop me off, I
need you to deliver this.
Yes, to Nancy.
If I could take it myself, I would.
Hey, this is not part of my job.
Delivering mail to your
little side dish is not...
Your job is to do
whatever the hell I tell
you to do. Why do you
want to put me in this?
You know how I feel about it.
I'm not asking you to double-date with us.
Just hand her the envelope.
When you get back
we'll talk about Officer Sullivan.
Police! Everybody down! Everybody down!
All right!
I didn't do nothing!
Now, what the hell, man?!
What's going on?!
You're under arrest; outstanding warrants.
All clear, Sarge.
Got it.
I don't got no warrants.
Forget a date with your
parole officer last week?
I called him.
He said it was all right.
Well, I guess he changed his mind.
Sit down.
Tell me about your boy Vernon.
Who? Vernon Marks.
Who'd he ask to take out a witness today?
Vernon? I don't know no Vernon.
This is a bad time to play clown, Del.
Don't even waste your time
Bosco.
Try to stay with me here.
You got two convictions
for possession with intent
another six months on paper
for that.
What do you think a new
possession hit does for you?
Something maybe as small as...
couple of rocks?
Come on, Cruz, that's not right.
I'm having a bad day, Del,
and when that happens...
you have a worse day.
Keep an eye on him, Bosco.
I got a real good feeling
about the bedroom.
Mmm. Hope they saved
your titty books up at Rikers.
Hate to see you have to replace
the whole damn collection.
No, wait, Cruz!
Who shot up the ambulance today?
Now or never, Del.
All right, all right.
Who?
I heard it was...
I can't hear you. Maybe it was LaVonne.
"Maybe" ain't gonna get it.
It was LaVonne.
LaVonne Jackson.
What's he look like?
Bald.
Big, like six-six.
Where does he live?
I don't know where he live.
He move around a lot
'cause of that crazy-ass pit bull he got.
One of Vernon's crew
had a white pit bull with him
the day Wiggy got shot.
Where's the last place he stayed at?
With some whore up on 109th.
I don't know the address.
Well, you're going to show us.
Get up.
Get up.
No, leave him.
We don't want his friends to think
he's palling around with us, do we, Del?
No, ma'am, thank you.
Mm-hmm. We'll save that option
for when you try to lead
us to the wrong building.
I wouldn't do that.
You won't now.
Put some pants on.
Thank you.
Yeah?
Forget it.
No, what?
That was pretty good.
You know, actually...
that was great in there.
What?
I thought I knew
what I was doing out here
but I guess I don't.
Smartest thing I've heard you say.
All that about searching the place
and dropping the rocks...
I don't know, I...
I never would have thought
to say that.
Use it, no charge.
What if he would have called your bluff?
Bluff? Yeah.
You never tell a skel
you're going to do something
you're not prepared to do.
Never.
How are you, Ty?
Uh, I been better.
Every time George cancels
I fix myself a drink, turn on the TV
and look for bad news about cops.
Did you know any of the officers
who were shot at?
Yeah. Uh, I'm his errand
boy now, so there you go.
Would you like to come in?
No. No.
Did I miss something?
I don't recall you being so rude.
I'm sorry. It's not enough
that I'm the bag man?
I have to be polite about it, too?
"Bag man"?
These are plane tickets
to go see my mother in Denver.
Every year around this time
he takes me out to dinner
and he gives me this
my Christmas present.
And then it's good-bye until January.
It makes him feel less guilty.
Well, what about you? You ever feel guilty?
Sometimes you don't get to
choose who you care about.
No, but you can choose
what you do about it, how you act.
You mean like your father did?
Hancock sure been running his mouth, huh?
My family is none of your business.
Exactly. Exactly.
Maybe you should tell George
to leave me the hell alone.
I can go back to my regular assignment
we can stay completely
out of each other's business
and forget we ever met, how about that?
We're not hurting anyone here.
All right.
This man has a wife and kids.
If they don't know about you yet
they will one day
and they're all going to feel
like they've been cheated on.
What do you know...?
And let's not forget that if you weren't
in this situation in the first place
you wouldn't have to pretend
that you weren't assaulted
during that blackout,
so don't delude yourself.
You're hurting people.
Team one's in position.
We're going to force the door.
One, two...
LaVonne! D.T.!
Get off me! Get off me!
Get off me! Get off me!
Get off me! Get off me!
LaVonne! LaVonne!
Bitch, you better get off me.
Shut the hell up! Down!
You mess with me...
Damn it!
Or anything that's mine
you messing with your life, bitch!
Bitch! Face to the floor!
Next time, just hit the bitch.
You all ready?
Um, I can't find my English notebook.
Red spiral? Yeah.
In the top bureau drawer.
I wasn't sure whose it was.
Thanks, Dad.
How are things going with that counselor?
You mean, shrink?
I mean, counselor.
She didn't seem to
think I'm nuts or anything.
She's just someone to talk to.
Really?
We mostly just stare at each other.
Em, are you sure you're ready to go back?
'Cause if you want
you can take another day.
I'm already behind in my classes
and I miss my friends.
I want to go back.
Okay.
Then, I'll-I'll drive you.
What?
Well, I got to go to
court later on, you know
and I'm up already.
So, I'll-I'll give you a ride.
Mom, I want to go to
school the way I always do.
I'm going to get on the bus
and I'm going to ride past that bank
and I'll be all right, okay?
Let's go, Charlie.
Your sister's ready.
It'll be all right, Faith.
She'll be fine.
How bad was I?
You don't remember?
Well, I...
I remember my version.
Yeah, how's that go?
All I wanted was to see my mother...
and ...and I guess I
mouthed off a little bit
to a three-star chief.
You're kidding, right?
I got a little out of hand.
A little? Yeah.
So, you took a swing at a rent-a-cop
then you told the Chief of Patrol
not to marry his squeeze.
Aw, God, I brought her into it?
He suspended you; they took your shield
and your gun away.
You have no recollection of that?
I'll talk to him.
It's past that, man.
I'll apologize.
I'll kiss the ring
throw myself on his mercy.
I already tried that.
Don't.
Whatever mess I made, it's my problem.
I don't need you fighting my battles.
I'll apologize.
Hancock's been around.
He'll understand.
No, he won't understand.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Davis
I can handle it.
I got to go.
I can't be late.
What does that mean?
Okay, when will you know?
All right, no, look, I'm sorry, all right?
I'll call back.
That the hospital?
Yeah, Miguel's still critical.
They don't know if he's going to make it.
And the mother?
Stable...
stable, and I'll bet, real pissed off.
You get anything?
I got to say, LaVonne's girlfriend's tough.
She isn't going to give him up.
She's either way in love with him
or real afraid.
So, what now?
I got Northcutt and Howard
scooping up her kids at grandma's.
Her kids?
Yeah. Let's see if she loves
her man enough to lose them
and I want to her to see their little faces
when she makes that decision.
Hey, Bosco, how you doing?
Oh, you heard, huh?
Yeah, everyone did.
Great.
I'm fine. What are you doing here so early?
I'm not early. It's 3:00.
Already?
I never went home.
So, what happened with Vernon?
I had to kick him loose
an hour and a half ago.
A.D.A. says we don't have a
case unless we talk to Miguel.
We did get a name
on the shooter, though... LaVonne Jackson.
Yeah, they're going to
pass out a picture at roll call.
That's nice work.
It was Cruz. She's good.
Right.
Got the guy's girlfriend in interrogation.
See if she can give us any
idea where he might be holing up.
Yeah, I heard you. You're
gonna dangle their little faces?
Anything that helps.
Anything, really?
Like using children as bait?
Scaring the hell out of them
seeing their mother chained to a wall?
Officer.
Sergeant.
Sarge, where do you want them?
Ah, with me.
Come on, you want to go see Mama?
Let's go in here.
Well, looks like you
got all the help you need.
Faith, I'm after a guy that shot a kid.
Bosco...
it's showtime.
Let's shut this.
You know, Davis agrees with
you, what you said at the hospital.
We talked about it last night.
He thinks I did all I could, too.
Good for you.
Did you see that the press
gave it a name... "Ambulance Ambush"?
Yeah. Yeah, I saw. What'd Joy say about it?
Yeah, it must've been
nice having her to talk to.
You know, all I have is Davis.
You know, he's a good guy,
but he's no woman, right?
Of course, my story's different than yours
staring death in the
face, performing anyway...
Carlos, do yourself a favor
and stop talking about it, all right?
That's easy for you to say.
You'll probably get a damn award.
Hey! Shut up, okay?
All right? Do you think
you could do that?! Please!
You're blocking traffic.
Make sure E.S.U. knows
there's going to be
plainclothes units on scene.
You got something?
An address he usually stays at, Boss.
You need anything? We got it.
That woman sure gets things done.
Yeah.
That she does.
You...
He's having lunch with you, in public?
I insisted.
My flight's not for a couple hours.
So, I thought I'd say
good-bye... give him his present.
Sounds like a plan.
He's waiting for you.
He can wait.
Walk with me a minute.
No, I'm supposed to...
I got to wait with the car.
Oh, come on, just a second.
All right.
Listen, George is extremely ambitious.
I think that's why he
doesn't understand you.
I'm not that tough to understand.
He wants to help me; I don't want his help.
Oh, he doesn't want to help you.
He just wants to buy you off.
He wants to run for office
and he's scared that you're
going to screw it up for him.
How would I do that?
Oh, come on... by talking
to the press about me.
I mean, you bring me up
to him every chance you get.
That's only because I think
something should have been
done about you being attacked.
He barely admits it happened
and you won't even talk about it.
In that store, I did what I had to
do to get them to leave us alone.
Wait, wait; you're
saying you let it happen?
Well, when the option is
watching someone you love
beaten to death in front of you
you find a surprising amount of resolve.
You think you can tell me who they were?
I don't know who they were.
I didn't get their card.
What did they look like?
Something, anything.
Oh... God.
Can't you both forget it?
All I want is for it to go away
and it never can because
you keep bringing it up.
You're worse than George.
This isn't what I wanted to talk about.
I wanted to tell you that it's over.
I'm not coming back from Denver.
I'm going to tell George at lunch.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn.
Why you telling me?
That night... your kindness...
When you didn't know who I was
and you didn't know who he was...
The gentleness in your eyes
it was exactly the thing I needed
and I'll never be able to
thank you enough for that.
Listen, you should take advantage
of what he's offering you, Ty.
He's a man of his word.
No, no. I can make my
own way in the department.
I don't need any favors from anybody.
Do you know what "tilting at windmills" is?
Yeah, it's from Don Quixote.
Ooh!
And I don't want to
knock over any windmills.
I just want to be left alone, that's it.
You're not like the rest of the cops.
Why, 'cause I read a book?
Because you still
haven't stopped believing
that the good guys always win
and the bad guys always lose.
It's sweet.
Really...
it is.
Thanks for everything.
All clear, Sergeant. Place is empty.
What, he's not here?
Damn it!
We'll get him.
It just won't be today.
And that... and that's okay with you?
Hey.
What?!
I'm talking to you, here.
Hey, Lieu.
No dice.
Yeah.
No.
I don't think he's gone too far.
Haywood Bus Lines.
This is reservations.
Where would you like to go?
Haywood Bus Line.
The depot!
Hello? Hello?
5-5 Crime Sergeant to Central.
Notify Port Authority Police
to halt all outgoing bus traffic
at the George Washington
Bridge bus terminal on 178.
Do not...
I repeat... do not
approach any of the buses.
Will notify further
upon my arrival.
If the bus didn't already leave.
The canned ravioli was still warm, Bosco.
Just stay cool.
How was lunch?
It was fine.
Nancy's on her way to the airport?
You saw her go in?
She stopped by and said hi.
First time she's insisted on lunch
in midtown in broad daylight.
I should've guessed discretion
was already out the window.
What did she say to you?
Uh... that she wasn't
coming back from Denver.
Ever.
That's what she said?
I'm sorry.
No, you're not.
You think she means it?
Why are we having this discussion?
Central to Car Three.
5-5 Watch Lieutenant
relates a possible location
on shooting suspect LaVonne Jackson
at the George Washington
Bridge bus station.
10-4.
She's not much for drama, Davis.
And she's never said she
wasn't coming back before.
Let's go.
Haywood.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you know where the
Haywood bus lines leave from?
What?
Haywood!
Up top.
Okay, you two, you stay here.
I don't want him getting past us.
You two with me.
Let's go.
Okay, clear the floor.
Check the bathrooms.
We're looking for a LaVonne Jackson.
Six-three, bald, black.
Considered armed and dangerous.
Buses are on the roof.
Come with us.
Excuse us. Police.
Let's take the stairs.
Listen to me.
This guy is bad news.
He don't care.
Remember, do not hurt him.
We need to talk to this guy.
Excuse me, I've got to clear through here.
I've got to clear.
Police.
I'm just looking for someone.
Don't get alarmed.
I'm just looking for someone.
No sweat, guys.
All right, everybody stay on this bus.
Go!
Get down!
Give it up, LaVonne!
Give it up!
It's over!
Ain't never over!
All right, it's done.
Drop that gun!
Don't do it.
LaVonne, don't do it!
No!
5-5 Crime Sergeant to Central.
We need a bus forthwith at this location.
Get on that bus!
Oh, no.
No way.
LaVonne.
LaVonne.
LaVonne, you live, you son of a bitch!
What did you do?
What did you do?
He's dead.
You happy now? He's dead.
Are you happy?
He's dead!
Now he's not going to give us
a damn thing!
Now what, huh?
He can't give us Vernon.
Now what, Sergeant?!
Without him
we got nothing!
You hear me? We got nothing.
Sir, do you understand that you're
in grave danger of dying?
The words that you
say to me may be the last words
that you speak.
I need you to tell us
who told you to hurt Miguel White.
All right.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
You heard that?
Every word.
He said it was Vernon Marks.
He confessed.
He said he shot Miguel
White for Vernon Marks.
Those were his last words.
Did you hear that on the radio?
They got the guy that shot at us.
I heard.
We should get over there.
Cops might need you to I.D. the body.
They aren't going to need me.
Why not? It might be the
missing piece of the puzzle.
I mean...
Carlos, I didn't see the guy.
I barely even saw the gun.
As soon as I heard it, I ducked.
I didn't... I didn't look at our patient
or his mother or anybody else
until it was over
and the guy was gone.
I wasn't in control.
So you did what everybody else did?
Yeah. I was right next to the kid.
I could have...
I don't know.
I'm supposed to be the
paramedic of the year
but what I did was duck.
He wouldn't be alive
right now if hadn't been for you.
You got that kid to the
hospital in a squad car.
A kid in full arrest with two
GSW's and no equipment.
After.
Wait, wait. So what are you saying
you should have done?
Jumped in front of him?
Taken the bullet for him?
What?
No, no.
Right. So what does
that say about what I did?
What you did?
If all you did was save this kid's life
what was my contribution?
I left you alone at the
scene with the mother
because I knew that no
matter what you were feeling
you'd do the job.
Are you complimenting me?
Hell, no.
Right.
Guess who, Vernon?
Bosco!
What's up, hot panties?
Where's your backup?
Y'all ain't scared to come around here?
Oh, don't tell me... ol' Wiggy back
from the dead, huh?
We're way past Wiggy.
LaVonne gave you up, man.
LaVonne?
You're under arrest.
For arranging
the attempted murders of two witnesses...
two paramedics...
and a police officer.
And you'd better hope that
that little boy hangs on
because if he dies
you've got a capital case against you.
Ouch. That's got to hurt.
LaVonne put my name in his mouth?
That little bitch.
He a walking dead man.
He gonna pay.
Oh, he gonna pay hard.
This Harlem, son.
I'm the man out here.
Look at 'em, Vernon.
Look at 'em.
They're all out here
to watch you fall.
And they can't wait for
you to be gone forever.
You hear me? For good.
You'll be forgotten in a week
because of one little boy.
One little boy had the stones
to stand up to you.
He's twice the man you'll ever be.
I'll be back.
No, you won't. Not this time.
Yes, I will.
Get my bail, son.
Come on, it's time to go home.
I'm ready to make a deal with you.
What now?
Well, let's...
You're looking to make a deal
I'm ready to make one with you.
Talk to me.
Sullivan's going to get
ahold of you and apologize
and I want you to accept it.
Just drop the whole thing.
Let him come back to work.
Is that right? Yeah.
Look, you take his job away from him
I really don't know what's
going to happen to him.
I suspended him already.
This is all he's got, okay?
That's not really my concern.
He keeps his job.
He's going to apologize
going to get his act
together, you leave him alone.
I think you're a little
confused here, Officer.
I don't know.
I mean, you think I'm going to
go to the press, talk about Nancy
ruin things for you, right?
Hey, that's the last
thing I'd ever want to do
but you mess with Sullivan, trust me
I'll do it in a heartbeat.
You're threatening me?
For him?
No, sir.
I'm just looking out for my best friend.
So you leave him alone, I leave you alone.
Everybody's happy.
I thought you didn't make deals.
No breaks, no favors...
no exceptions, isn't that your thing?
Yeah, I've revised my thinking on that.
What do you say?
What about being my driver?
I hate being your driver.
And we both know it should be
somebody else.
You're back to your regular assignment.
Tell Sullivan to report to headquarters.
He's back to full duty.
He can't know I did this.
You have to call him in yourself.
You are a real pain in the ass, Davis.
From you, sir, that's kind of a compliment.
Chief...
Thank you, sir.
Yes.
Hey.
You hear?
We got him.
Yeah. Word is with his dying declaration
he rolled on Vernon.
This jagoff's going to be a guest
of the State of New York for a long time.
What'd you do with the girlfriend?
The girlfriend?
Yeah, the woman with the two kids?
The one that gave you
LaVonne's address?
Being processed, I guess.
We did what we had to do.
That's what you said.
But you don't agree.
I don't think anything is worth
terrorizing children over.
These people shot a 12-year-old
in the back of an ambulance.
And what did this woman's kids do?
We would have found another way.
I got to go.
I'm going to go tell Miguel and his mother
that Vernon's going away.
Is it true?
What?
Did he really give you Vernon?
Just between you and me, is it true?
Completely true.
