Doc faces up to disobeying orders, and a decision is made about Carlos. A car crashes into a shop, driven by a man who abducted his daughter the week before - but things are not completely as they seem and the situation deteriorat...

Previously on "Third Watch.."

You think Sully's gonna come off..

I don't know. I hear he's pretty bad.

$300. Does this include
the patrolman's discount?

Fourteen-year-old female.

Mix OD. In anaphylactic shock.

I asked you at the
house whether it was true

and you lied to me.

You know what, Yokas, crime is down

in that area because of what we did.

I understand, you want
to wash your hands off me



but, um, you can't do that right now

'cause I need your help.

Time to get up, Charlie.

Charlie, let's go.

Emily, I made eggs.

Uh, I'm not that hungry.

Just come and sit. Have a few bites.

Where's your brother?

Where else? Looking for his shoes.

Hm, great eggs.

Em, I need you to come home
straight away from school today

'cause we have that
appointment at 4 o'clock.

- We do? - 'Yeah.'



And I'm off from work tonight

and your, uh, dad left us the truck.

What kind of appointment?

'Remember I told you'

we're gonna see that, uh, counselor?

I don't need to see another psychiatrist.

'Baby, it's not a psychiatrist.
It's a drug counselor.'

And it's not gonna hurt you to talk.

It might even be a way for
you to get out of your grounding

a little early.

Really?

Well, we'll just say
that it's a prerequisite

if you want to apply for parole.

Only one time.

Yeah, but, Em, you gotta
give it an honest shot.

You can't sit there with your
mouth shut the whole time.

Alright.

Alright.

Hey. You ready, doc?

Yeah.

Hey, you got nothin' to worry about, okay?

Edwards is not gonna go
through with this disciplinary thing.

He just wants to see you sweat

and do a little groveling, that's all.

- Grovel? - Yeah.

Well, he's the one who

ordered Nieto to house-duty.

- So, he's taking it personally? - Yeah.

And you got to know your place, right?

Right?

Look, you just go in
there, you kiss the ring

and you'll be out of
there before you know it.

Just play the game. Come on.

'Have a seat.'

"Failure to comply with department orders."

On January 27th, you
allowed Paramedic Carlos Nieto

to ride on calls despite, uh, an order

'changing his duty status to restricted.'

'Care to explain why?'

I, uh, ahem, I realize I may have..

'...used poor judgement.'

But at the time I thought...

Thought? I'd say you didn't think.

'It was inappropriate to
go against your orders.'

I made a mistake.

And I, uh..

No.

No, I didn't make a mistake.

Excuse me?

We're overworked and understaffed.

You all know that, uh..

You know, I spent, I spent two hours

trying to get someone in
to, to cover the shift with me

during one of the worst
blizzards in history.

'And-and no one even
answered their cell phones.'

And then, I look up, and, and
there's my, my best medic and..

He's showing up early in that snowstorm

and all he's allowed to do is
wash dishes and mop floors?

Let me talk to you
outside for a moment, doc?

I don't need to talk to you again, Chris.

I heard you the first time.

You said I need to learn my place.

'No, I'm-I'm not gonna sit
here like a good little boy'

and, and let you all make judgements

on how I run my house
and the people on my streets.

You forget the first day
you trained with me?

'You could barely start an IV.'

And you said I was the
best teacher you ever had.

And what about Bed-Stuy in '80s, Frank?

'How-how many nights did we ride together?'

How many orders from downtown
did we fail to comply with?

Because we knew, you knew, Frank

you can't make policy
if you weren't out there.

You want me to learn my
place? I know my place.

It's out on the streets and that's where

Carlos belongs to, riding with me.

Now, if you wanna fire him, do it.

Fire him. Hell, fire whoever you want.

'But he's not gonna spend every day'

mopping the firehouse
floor until you decide.

He's too good for that.

And I... do not work that way.

How you doin'?

Life of the party.

No drinking?

- Not a drop. - Alright.

Remember, all you wanna do
is get through this day, right?

Yeah. We.

Where the hell is everyone?

Um, Kim and Alex are on a run

the rest of the squads
are on hydrant inspection.

Went pretty bad downtown, huh?

- Get dressed. - What?

You're ridin' with me.
Hurry up, get dressed.

Does it mean what I think it means?

It means you're riding with me.

Well, no way they'll let me back out

if they're gonna fight
against me in this thing, right?

I mean, this is big,
man. This is definitely big.

Carlos..

Just get dressed, okay?

Yes, sir. I'll be right down.

Doc?

Thanks.

It drains down here.

Specifically, I'd put in for
time at the end of the month

to avoid hydrant inspection.

Gets earlier every year, doesn't it?

Yeah, more tedious.

Hey, you think I got
time to grab a sandwich

before Johnson gets back?

Don't spoil your appetite.

I'm making my mushroom meatloaf today.

Why do you think I wanna
spoil my appetite for it?

You'd rather eat off a roach
coach than my mushroom meatloaf?

You better get me one, too.

You're the one who told me to make it.

What are you talkin' about?

I've been in New York,
and foster works out.

Lou, you like my mushroom meatloaf, right?

No.

Two down, 648 to go. Let's go.

Can this day get anymore exciting?

Apparently, it can.

Where's your key?

I thought you were the kids.

No.

Can I come in?

I got to take, uh, Emily to an appointment

and, uh, we're running late already.

Just until she gets here then?

I don't think so.

I don't even get to apologize?

You have.

I didn't want you to be involved.

- Not now, Bosco. - That's all, Faith.

I lied to you because..

You didn't need to be
involved in all that stuff.

Partners don't lie to each other.

Like you did with your abortion.

What?

'You lied to me about your abortion.'

Remember?

When I thought you miscarried

I felt responsible.

That is about my personal, private life.

Partners don't lie to each other.

- 'Hi, Bosco.' - Hey.

- Emily, you're late.
- Uh, buses were screwed up.

Where's your brother?

I dropped him off at Mrs. O'Brien.

Oh, good.

Good. That was good thinking.

Okay, well we have to
go now because we're late.

And Bosco was just leaving.

I lied to you.

You did?

I don't really feel like life of the party.

Between my ribs and the
headache the size of Canada

I mostly feel like crap.

I'm sorry. I'll take care of you today.

You can start by keeping your voice down.

Ah, come on, Davis.

Wh-what am I supposed to do?

You know, I'll get you some aspirin.

Two bottles should make a dent.

'5-5 Charlie, traffic accident.'

'York and 129. Vehicle
drove into a building.'

'Fire's already on scene.'

5-5 Charlie. York and 129.10-4.

Oh.

Will you please take it easy with that?

Sorry, sorry. Here.

I said two bottles.

PD and bus are on the way.

Doesn't appear to be any
structural damage. Come on.

What the hell?

Whoa, hey! Whoa, whoa. Stop. Whoa, whoa.

- Come on. Come on. Hey, hey..
- Come on, buddy, get him..

Get him out of here. Get him out of here!

You bastard! Why did you do it?

'What did you do that for?'

- There's a kid. - Listen. Quiet.

Where's that coming from?

Kid can wait. Find it now.

It's up here. Propane tank.

'Powell, get to the cautionary line.'

Kanevski, get down to basement
and shut down the utilities.

Damn! Rusty valve. I don't
think I can close it all the way.

Close it as tight as you can.

We got to get this thing out of
here before we cut the car open.

Make it fast, Jimmy.

'Hold DMX on standby.'

'Driver's impaled through the shoulder.'

- Got it! - Yeah.

- Billy, get this out of here. - I got it.

'Alright, let's stabilize the car.'

Jimmy, check the driver and the kid.

- He's got a pulse. - Lucky him.

He's still breathing.
He's unconscious though.

How's the baby?

She's still in her car
seat. She seems fine.

Alright. I need the
hurst, I need some tools.

I need a glass punch.

Bring up a couple of C-collars, too.

Car's stabilized, boss.

Alright, we're gonna remove the
side windows, the rear windows.

'We're gonna cut the C post.'

We're gonna flat the roof forward. Alright?

Let's go.

Sorry, honey. I got to cover you up

'while we knock this window out.'

Alright.

We start with crowd control.

I guess there's no way to do that quietly.

Well, the aspirin's not working?

Now, my headache's gone
from pounding to throbbing

if that's an improvement.

One day at a time, right?

I'm working on the next ten minutes.

That's the spirit.

Alright, people. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, get up. Get over
there. Get across the street.

We got an ambulance
that's coming in right here.

Alright. We're good on this side.

- Could use a little more light.
- I'm on it.

Almost.

What's going on with that light?

Get that hurst over here.

Drive-through plumbing supply store.

I don't know if that idea's gonna catch on.

Let's hope not.

- Man, it's great to be back.
- 'You're back?'

Yeah, it's all over with.

Good. Baby'll be the
first one out of the car.

- There's a baby? - In the car seat.

- Any other passengers? - Just a driver.

He's gonna be your
extrication and he's impaled.

Ouch.

Alright, uh, call for another bus.

I'll get to peacekeeping.

Adam 5-5-3, we're gonna need another bus

at this location to deal
with multiple victims

and an impaled driver.

Alright, that's it. Let's fold it up.

Ready?

Yeah.

Get in.

It's okay. It's alright.

We're gonna get you out of here now.

Jimmy, keep the baby in the car seat.

That's good as a backboard.
Here, let me take her.

Yeah.

Hey, hey.

No visible signs of
fractures or lacerations.

Bilateral distal pulse. Lungs?

Equal and clear, bilaterally.

That's one lucky little girl.

Except for the part where
her father drove into a building.

Yeah. Let's get her into the bus.

Let's go.

Alright, let's get to the driver.

'Cut that pipe as close as you can'

'and get that roof open rest of the way.'

Here we go.

Davis, Sullivan. One of you with me.

Yeah. Uh, why don't you go ahead?

You can take it easy at
the hospital till I get there.

Sounds like a plan.

We wanna get to Mercy
fast, but safe, alright?

Why don't you drive?
Let me ride in the back.

Been a while since I officially
took charge for patient.

Alright. Get in my doors.

Yeah.

Hold on. Hold on. You're
probably gonna need this.

We're actually gonna
have to change diapers?

This kid has a load. I don't
think my stomach can take it.

Her ID card has got the
mother's name and number on it.

So?

So have someone contact
her to meet you at the hospital.

Right. Headache.

- Alright. - 'Ready, let's move.'

That guy's drivin' drunk
with a cute kid like that.

- Oh, you smell alcohol?
- That guy's not loaded.

That's one hell of a lousy parking job.

Starting her on O2. Still
got a strong brachial pulse.

'5-5 Charlie, infant's mother contacted.'

'She'll meet you at Mercy Hospital.'

Is that as loud to you as it is to me?

Uh, no, not really.

10-4 Central.

You hear that, sweetheart?

'Mama's gonna meet you at the hospital.'

Kid doesn't seem to be
in any immediate danger.

It's a baby. It's always serious.

But do you think there's any way
we can turn off that damn siren?

- Hey. - 'Hey.'

I found this on the ground.
She might want it back.

Well, the tag come back to Steve McDonald.

Twenty-eight years old,
5'8", 140 pounds, blond hair.

Sounds like our guy.

That's not all, there's
a warrant for his arrest

for child abduction.

Kidnapped that little girl.

Got a 18-month-old female,
found secure in rear of the car.

Frontal impact, no apparent injury.

Heart rate is 100, breath's 20.

Any loss of consciousness?

Uh, Fire was first on the scene

and they said she was crying.

Okay, good.

Let's get a trauma panel.

Portable chest, CT.

'Police contacted the mother from the bus'

and she's on her way.

'Well, barring any internal injuries'

I think this little girl
is gonna be just fine.

What about the father?

He's being extricated now.

Jim and Taylor are on the scene with him.

- They said he's impaled, right?
- Yeah, impaled.

God, I hate that.

We're gonna need some extra bulky dressing.

And a barf bag.

Hey, save some room in the back for me.

- This guy's a prisoner. - What, DUI?

- Nah, it's child abduction. - Seriously?

Mother asked custody, and
daddy snatched the girl last week.

Gee, I wonder why the judge thought

she'd be better off with her mother.

'Alright.'

Billy, as soon as the pipes detach

pop the windshield, finish the roof.

'Got it.'

How's our patient?

Couple of more minutes, he's all yours.

MI.

- One more to cut. - 'Alright, Jimmy.'

'Dr. Harrison to the NICU.'

- Leslie McDonald? - Yes.

Hi, I'm Monte Parker, one of the paramedics

who brought your daughter in.

Where is she?

'She's in the trauma room right now.'

- Trauma room? - Relax, relax.

She's fine. They're
just running some tests.

But she seems fine. Okay?

There's no external injuries
and her vital signs are stable.

They're just checking
around as a precaution.

Can I see her?

I'll take you to her.

Well, thank you, officer. Thank you.

- You're welcome. - No problem, ma'am.

That's what we are here for.

Alright, almost there.

Got it.

There you go.

Okay, and as little movement as possible.

Alright, I got the backboard.

Alright, I'm gonna drop the
back of the seat on three.

One, two, three.

Alright, I got the board. We slide under.

- Sliding it in. - Alright.

On my count. One, two, three. Go.

Go.

- Lauren. - Now, he's got two bags.

- 'My daughter.' - Okay.

Lauren. How is she?

- Alright, I'm ready.
- Okay. Coming through.

'Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!'

'This is Mrs. McDonald.'

Aw. It's okay, sweetheart.

- I'm here. - I'll get Dr. Fields.

- Oh, you're safe now.
- So, ma'am, about your husband.

Is he here? I don't want him
anywhere near my daughter.

I don't think you have to worry about that.

It was a pretty serious accident.

- Good. - But, uh..

The detectives need
to talk to you about him.

They're on their way down here.

I'll talk to anyone I have to.

I just wanna be with her right now.

Right.

Okay, well, I'll, uh, be right
outside if you need anything.

Hi, baby. Hi, beautiful baby.

Uh, mom, can we leave?

Yeah, come on.

Emily Yokas? Come on back.

You know what? We waited
this long, just give it a shot.

Mom..

Emily, what are you complainin' about?

I'm stuck out here in Rocky Horrorland.

Go ahead.

That's great.

Bozo wants me.

Heartrate's increasing.

Lauren? Lauren?

- Take it easy. - Lauren!

Calm down, sir. You're in an ambulance.

My-my daughter. Where is Lauren?

She's already at the
hospital with her mother.

Your little adventure's over.

- What about the pills? - What pills?

On the.. I left them on the coffee table.

- She got it into the bottle.
- Bottle of what?

It was ac-aceta.. It was aceta...

- Acetaminophen? - 'Yes!'

- 'She got it into the bottle.' - How many?

I was just trying to
take her to the hospital.

How many pills did she take?

It..

It was a, it was a handful maybe..

'It was maybe half a bottle, maybe 20.'

I was just trying to
take her to the hospital.

- Is that bad? - Yeah, it's real bad.

Boy 5-5-3..

That little girl didn't look sick.

It takes ten to twelve hours for symptoms

to show damage in six to eight.

Well, what kind of damage?

Liver, brain damage.

You mean like death damage?

It's a good thing we're here.

I'll tell her mother what's going on.

We'll find Fields.

- Where is she? - She's gone.

Gone? Where?

I don't know. They're just gone.

No, they just left.
Didn't checkout, nothin'.

Yeah, we're looking through
the whole hospital right now.

- No one in the lobby. - Anything?

We did a sweep. It doesn't
look like she's still inside.

What is this woman, a track star?

How'd she get away so fast?

You know, Lou, you should
check with the taxi company.

'She could be riding in
the back of one right now.'

Twenty-eight-year-old male
with pipe through his shoulder.

Been in an extrication. BP, 130 over 90.

'Pulse 120, resp 22.'

GCS was nine on scene, but
he came to two in the ambulance.

How's the little girl doing?

Kim says she'll be alright as long as

she takes the antidote in time.

They're gone.

Who?

The mother took the baby and left

before we could do anything
about the OD. She just left.

- How could you let that happen?
- What was I supposed to do?

Cuff her to the bed? She wasn't a perp.

Sul, you were supposed
to stay with the baby.

No, this is not on me.

Woman wanted to be alone with her daughter.

I let be alone with her. I
didn't have any reason not to.

Sully.. What..

Look, there's a unit on the way
to their apartment in the Bronx.

Hopefully, they'll pick her up there.

Wait a minute. She lives in the Bronx?

That's what it said in the missing report.

And how'd she get here so fast?

What are you talkin' about?

They only contacted her half an hour ago.

She got here in, like, ten minutes.

Mr. McDonald?

- Mr. McDonald... - I gotta work here, man.

He's the father of the
little girl who overdosed.

- I need to talk to him. - Okay. Alright.

Mr. McDonald, you wife has
taken Lauren out of the hospital.

- Where would she go? - Oh, no.

My-my wife, she's, uh, she's sick.

- What do you mean she's sick?
- She's schizophrenic.

'She stopped taking her meds.'

That's why I took
Lauren, in the first place.

Do you have any idea where she would go?

Was Lauren treated?

'Was Lauren treated for the pills?'

No.

Oh, my God!

It's gonna be alright. Uh..

Just let me know where to look.

- 'She lives at... ' - Yeah,
in the Bronx, I know.

But is there somewhere else?

Somewhere closer, somewhere in the city?

Yeah, um, her sister's.

Her sister has, has a space
that Leslie sometimes uses it.

- Where is it? - It's on 98 Street.

Country's going down the drain.

Hey.

- How'd it go? - Great.

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm. Sandra's really cool.

- Sandra? - Uh, she's the counselor.

See, that was painless.

Yeah, and she says we should
make the appointments now.

What?

Yeah, they get booked up pretty fast.

- So you wanna come back?
- Yeah, is that okay?

It's great. Yeah, okay.

Any word on that little girl?

The husband said her
sister-in-law's got an apartment

in the city, and the wife
stays there sometimes.

So, why don't we check it out?

We got a car comin' to take us over there.

We should go, too.

We're gonna need to get that
girl back here fast for the NAC.

We don't even know if she's there.

- What if she is? - Alright.

Well, call dispatch and let
'em know what we're doing.

The guy said they'd keep
an eye on McDonald for us.

We're all set then.

Yes, we have to get back to the RNP.

We're good.

You guys hitch your ride
with us back to your car.

That's a good idea.

5-5 Charlie to Central.
Disregard a car to Mercy.

We're gonna hitch a ride with Adam 5-5-3.

They're on the fourth floor.

If they're up there, we'll bring 'em down.

Alright. Good luck.

'Police.'

Mrs. McDonald?

Mrs. McDonald, it's Officer
Sullivan from the hospital.

Remember?

Should we kick it?

We don't know if she's in there?

'Go away!'

Ma'am, it's the police.
Your daughter is very sick.

You are not going to take her away from me.

She's back with me now. I
am never letting her go again.

Mrs. McDonald, Lauren
swallowed a bunch of pills.

'We have to get her some
medication right away.'

No! No medicine!

Ma'am, please, she needs help.

All she needs is her mother.

Doesn't sound like we're
gonna talk her out of there.

Her husband says she's
dangerous when she's off her meds.

Let's hope he's wrong.

Mrs. McDonald, you need
to bring Lauren out to us.

I will set this whole
place on fire. I will.

No one is ever taking my
daughter away from me

ever again!

Sounds like she's off her meds.

Yeah.

Central, this is 5-5 Charlie.

We need ESU and a supervisor
forthwith at this location.

We have a hostage
situation involving a small child

who need immediate medical attention.

Better roll, FDT. This
one's threatening us.

No.

No, no, no, no, no!

What have you done?

'Why are they all coming here?'

We're trying to help your daughter, ma'am.

You can't help my daughter.

You, you're working for him, aren't you?

Working for my husband.

'Ma'am, all those vehicles outside'

they're here to help you.

Okay? They work for you and Lauren.

Oh-ho! He has ways.

And we're trying to help
your daughter, Mrs. McDonald.

It's okay.

I won't let them take you.

- Man, what was I thinking? - What?

I don't know how I could've missed

seeing it all these years.

- Seeing what? - This job.

All these years, I've been treating it like

a stepping stone or space-filling

till I get through med school.

- Carlos, listen... -
We're out here everyday.

And what we're doing is
so much to so many people.

All this time I've been waiting to arrive

for my life to start, you know?

I've been exactly where I ought to be.

Where I wanna be.

Carlos, look, about this morning..

What the hell?

Adam 5-5-3.

I need to get an emergency
message to PD 5-5 Charlie.

Maybe we should wait for ESU

they're gonna be here in a minute.

I don't think we have a minute.

Mister, come on. Come on.

Alright, alright, get out the way.

Get out the way.

'Davis.'

Mrs. McDonald?

'Davis.'

Stop! Stop!

I'll jump.

Mrs. McDonald... please...

I swear if you come any closer

I will jump!

Okay, alright. I'm gonna stay right here.

Get out of here. Leave me alone!

'I can't do that.'

Subject's on the north side
of this building with the baby.

'Let me talk about Lauren, okay?'

My partner's out on the roof with her now.

Lauren needs me.

You're right. You're right. She's need you.

She needs you to see how sick she is.

She's gettin' close to the edge now.

Yeah, thanks, lieutenant.

Let's get the airbag ready.

We're gonna save a lot of time
if my guys could lend a hand.

Yeah, thanks. We're goin' up.

- Let's go, Morris.
- Alright, guys, go help 'em.

Do what you gotta do.

Come on, let's go.

- Look at her, ma'am. - She's asleep.

- No. - 'She's tired.'

No. No, she's sick.

She's not asleep. She took
some pills and she's sick.

Pills.

Just go away! Leave me alone!

I can't do that.

I'll jump.

'Mrs. McDonald'

'she needs an antidote.'

No, Mrs. McDonald.

Now, I know you love Lauren, right?

You love your daughter?

Now, whatever you're thinkin' about doin'

that little girl deserves to be alright.

I know what's best for her.

No, stop. Stop, please.

Please, stop.

I will not let you take her from me!

'Somewhere inside you
know she's not asleep.'

She's tired.

It's okay, honey.

'No one knows your
little girl better than you.'

'Look at her.'

Ma'am, really look at her.

Wake up, honey.

Baby?

She can't wake up, Mrs. McDonald

not without help.

You gotta let me help her, alright?

I can help her.

- Please... take her. - Thank you.

There's a ambulance downstairs.

They're gonna take her to the hospital.

They're gonna help
her. No, no, no. Come on!

Mrs. McDonald, you, you
did good. You helped her.

I'm not a good mother.

Well, let's just talk about it, alright?

I can't take care of her.

No one understands me.

I understand you.

That's not true, Mrs.
McDonald. I understand you.

You just saved her life.
You just saved her life.

But I was supposed to protect her!

- You have. - Just go.

Would you just.. You have her. Just go!

No, I'm stayin' here with you.

We're gonna walk out of here together.

Tell her mommy loves her.

No.

No. No, no, no. No, no!

- No, Davis! - Ahh!

Davis!

- Hang on, man. - I got you!

I think I'll move up with
a lift, so hold on to me.

Pull me up.

- 'Come on, Sul. Come on.'
- I got you. I got you.

Don't drop me, man. Pull me up.

Pull me up. Come on. You gotta pull me up.

- Put your leg up. - 'Hold on to me.'

- Pull me up. Come on! - I'm trying!

'No!'

D-Davis!

'Davis!'

What time is dad getting home?

Well, about an hour.

We should make that salad he likes

with the beets.

That'd be nice.

You seemed happy.

- 'Do I?' - Mm-hmm.

I don't know.

With Sandra

it felt good to talk to
someone I could trust.

Really?

Yeah, it was nice.

You like beets?

- Hm? - 'Beets?'

- I hate beets. - Me too.

Let's just leave 'em on the side.

I'm fine. I don't need to
go to the hospital. I'm fine.

Just got the wind knocked
out of me, that's all.

Falling four flights will
do that to you, superboy.

Listen, don't make me call your sergeant

and have him order you to get checked up.

- Let's go. - Alright, I'm gonna..

You wanna ride with him?

No, I've got some stuff
to take care of here.

I'll bring the RMP and, uh

I'll meet you over at the hospital.

Alright.

- Davis, I, uh... - Listen,
guys, we gotta roll.

What?

Nothin'.

- 'See you at the hospital.' - Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Sullivan's outside waiting on you.

He's waitin'? Why didn't he come in?

I don't know. Just asked
for you to come out.

- Okie-dokie. Thanks, Mary. - Mm-hmm.

Try not to fall off any more buildings

on your way out of here.

Yes, ma'am.

- Where the hell you been?
- Sorry, I'm late.

- Sully. - What?

I can smell it all over you.

I needed it.

You only had to make
it through one day, man.

Yeah, well, Davis,
this was a hell of a day.

I almost lost you.

Well, that's why you had to drink?

Like, that's not a big deal.

- You didn't lose me. - I dropped you.

You held on to me long enough for them

to get that airbag under
me. You saved my life.

I just had one to calm my nerves.

What are you doin'?

It's bad enough you drove
here. You're not drivin'...

Davis, give me..

- I'm takin' you home. - I had one drink!

I'm takin' you home, Sul.

I'm sorry.

So, I take Emily to see
that counselor today.

And I have to bribe her
at first to get her to go.

But she liked it.

So, we made her some more appointments.

She said that, um..

It felt good to talk to somebody

that she could trust.

I don't know. I guess, I always thought

that I was somebody that she could trust.

Fred?

Are you sure you're feelin' alright?

I mean, the doctors checked
you out and everything.

There's nothin' internal goin' on?

No, I'm fine.

'Cause that internal stuff,
you know, sometimes..

Kinda hard to see, you gotta..

Check for it.

Yeah, they probably checked for it.

I don't know what to do, Sul.

- What do you mean? - You drank..

On the job, in the RMP.

Oh, what do you gotta do about it?

Whose mistake?

Well, I admit it, it's over. I
already tossed the bottle.

Well, it's not like that was
the last bottle in New York.

I-I'm not gonna buy another one.

'I was upset, you know'

about not being able to hold on to you.

About lettin' you down like that.

You didn't let me down when
you couldn't hold on to me.

Come on, man. It was a mistake.

I don't know what to do. I really don't.

Ty!

Yeah, hello, this, this is
Officer Davis from the 5-5.

Do I need to a, a specific
union rep about a problem

or can I talk to anyone?

No, this is about my partner.

Sullivan. Jonathan Thomas.

- Doc. - Hey.

I just wanted to say thank you.

I mean, I knew if anyone was
gonna get me out of the jam

I always knew it'd be you. I..

I know we've had our differences

but when it counted, you were there for me.

And I just..

I just wanted you to know
how much it meant to me.

Goodnight, Carlos.

Goodnight.

5-5 Parker.

Chief.

Yes, sir. Uh-huh.

I don't, I don't think..

No, sir, you can't,
you can't just.. Y-you..

Yes, sir. I understand.

I understand.

No.

No. No, I'll, I'll tell him.

What was that about?

The, uh..

The department's decided

to settle with the West family

in exchange for them not filing suit

against the city.

So, that's good, right?

Well, as a part of the settlement

they've, uh, they've agreed
to the family's request..

That, um..

You'd be removed from the department

'effective immediately.'

They want you downtown
first thing in the morning

to... terminate you.

Oh.
