Previously on "Third Watch.."
- Nicole. - Mom.
- You son of a bitch! - Hold on. Hold on.
Put a sling on your arm.
'You're here to dry out.'
Are you happy? He's dead!
I need you to tell us
who told you to hurt Miguel White.
He said it was Vernon Moss. He confessed.
He said he shot Miguel
White for Vernon Moss.
Did he really give you Vernon?
They want you downtown
first thing in the morning to..
Terminate you.
- You talk to Carlos at all? - No.
- You haven't called him? - No, not yet.
So you talked about replacing him?
- Kim. - What? I'm sorry.
I mean, he's not coming back, right?
You're gonna have to find a replacement.
Yo! I need some help here.
Dr. Fields!
Come on! This kid needs help, quick!
- What happened? - I don't know.
I found him like this.
- Alright. I got him. - 'Where?'
Well, I'm not sure. I was driving by.
You brought him in yourself?
Well, I figured it was better
than waiting for an ambulance
even if he did bleed all over my car.
Alright, well, wait here, the cops
are gonna wanna talk to you.
One, two, three.
Okay, run two large bores wide open.
- 'Where'd he go?' - What?
That guy. He's gone.
Like the Lone Ranger. Didn't
even wait for a thank you.
Come on, let's go.
You gotta be kidding. Carlos a waiter?
He's got rent to pay. Same as you and me.
I just can't picture it.
Well, I give him credit. He's trying.
Yeah, but you give everybody credit.
- You doin' alright? - Yes, Ty.
- I'm still doin' alright.
- 'I'm.. Hey, I'm only asking.'
Only asking every ten minutes.
Well, I wanna make sure
you're ready to be out here.
Well, we'll find out today, won't we?
- Better here than at home.
- Idle minds, right?
Devil's playground.
I thought that was idle hands.
How can a hand be a playground?
- And isn't it workshop? - Is it?
I don't know, you said it.
Well, whatever. I'm glad you're back.
Yeah. Good.
So how was the TRID quiz?
You can't ask me that at home?
I'm asking you now.
- It was fine, mom. - Good.
So you want a ride home?
Can I please just walk with my friends?
Well, there's three of 'em.
We can give 'em a ride.
- Mom, please.
- Alright, I want you to, uh..
I want you to go straight home
and then, uh, call me on my cell
when you get there, alright?
Mm-hmm.
- No excuses. - Yes, ma'am.
I love you.
Don't start.
She made a mistake once.
Maybe you should cut her a little slack.
Spare me your vast
knowledge on raising teenagers.
You have to start trustin'
her again sooner or later.
People earn trust, Bosco.
I don't have to give it to anyone.
- Meaning? - 'On that subject..'
You and your girlfriend, Cruz
would be the last people
to be giving out advice.
So is every topic gonna lead
back to me and Cruz now?
No, just trust.
Because what happens between
us is none of your business.
It would be impossible
for me to overstate..
How uninterested I am
in anything that happens
between the two of you.
Good.
Great.
What, are we invisible?
'It's King-eight-Edward... "'
It's vanity. EZ-97.
- Bosco, wait. - What?
- Look down there. - 'Is that money?'
Yeah, lots of it.
5-5 David Central, we have
an overturned armored truck
at King and 123.
We're gonna need EMS and backup on a rush.
Not to mention a shovel
and a really big bag.
Hey! Everybody drop what
they have in their hands..
Get the hell out of here.
Give me this. Come on,
guys. Get the hell out of here.
Drop what you have and walk away.
I don't really know what to say.
About what?
- To Carlos, you know? - Yeah. I do.
Let's go, folks. Light's green.
Same reason I haven't called him.
"Hey, Carlos. How's it goin'?"
Well, I pretty much
know how it's goin', right?
'The guy just lost his job.'
What the hell is with this traffic?
Car at the light's not moving.
'Adam 5-5-3, take an MVA with injuries'
'King and 123.'
10-4 Central.
- Well, we gotta move!
- 'Hey, put it in gear!'
Let's go. We need to get movin' here!
Hey, folks.
Hey. Hey, come on, we're on a call here.
Hey, listen, you gotta
get moving. Let's go.
Hey.
Kim. Get the bags!
Let me help you out here.
Careful, alright? I got you.
I got you. Careful. Careful..
Whoa! Whoa. Careful.
- What do you got? - I'm not sure.
Isn't that the guy from the hospital?
- Lone-Ranger guy? - Yeah.
Look, I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Relax. Calm down, okay? What happened?
Well, it's a long story.
'Where's all this blood coming from?'
Yeah, well, I'll bet it's this huge
stab wound that's his problem.
I'll get the stretcher,
alright? Be right back.
Adam 5-5-3, you're gonna
have to reassign that MVA.
- Ha.. - How's your breathing?
Pretty good. Pretty good. Yours?
You lose consciousness at all?
Well, once in the '60s.
But, uh, well, it was the '60s.
- Ha-ha! - 'Alright.'
Okay. Okay. Alright.
Easy, easy, easy. Easy.
Now why don't you stop
with the comedy routine
and just answer my questions?
Yes, ma'am.
- 'Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!' - People! People!
Give me the, give me the money. People!
Do you see the uniform? You.. Then move!
- Give me that.. - 'Ah!'
- Where's the driver? - Take a wild guess.
Oh, this world would be such
a better place without people.
No, no, no, no. Stay right there.
I did not just see that bus driver..
Get back up on the sidewalk, please.
- 'What are you doing? Hey!'
- No one's listening.
That's great. Put the money down, ma'am.
5-5 David to Central, where is our backup?
We need additional units
and a supervisor at this location.
Sir, walk away now!
Move! Back up. Right now!
- Hey! - 'Back up!'
Are you crazy?
No, no, no. Uh..
- Hey, don't lose that. - Right.
Please.
- Hospital's not far. - Yeah, I remember.
Why would you leave if you were hurt?
I don't know. I was..
I get frequent bleeder
miles in that there hospital.
- Great, more jokes. - Sorry.
- Name? - Uh, Aaron, uh, with two As.
- Last name? - Noble.
Hey, there's a writer named Aaron Noble.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah. You ever read him?
I don't think so.
He was kind of like a reporter,
travels all over the world
and writes about war and things like that.
But, yeah, not like other writers.
Don't you reach me inside?
Lives with the regular
people. He's really good.
Oh, well, I'll have to check him out.
They made one of his books
into a movie. "Last Inventory."
That was a horrible movie.
Yeah, well, the book was much better.
Oh.
Here.
'Get away from the truck.'
'You, that's not yours. Drop it.'
You're pissing me off, man.
- 'Hey! Hey!' - Drop the money!
- Put the money down.
- Everybody drop the money.
Put it down and walk away.
Put, put the money down.
Sir, I'm telling you, put the money down.
- Unbelievable. Hey! - What are you doing?
- Come here. Drop it.
- Ma'am, you'll go to jail.
You! Drop the money. Drop the
money. Walk away. Pizza guy.
Hey, what are you
doing? Drop it. All of it.
- These are my tips! - Fifties?
- 'Put the money down!' - Hey, come here!
Can I revise my
I'm-ready-to-be-here speech?
Get out of here or I'll shoot ya!
You hear me? Get the hell
out of here. I'll shoot myself!
- Sir, are you alright? - Charlie. Charlie.
Where are you hurt, sir?
I think I broke my arm.
But Charlie's hurt really bad.
You gotta help him.
He's bleeding really bad.
He needs a doctor.
Don't panic, alright? We're
gonna get you out of here.
You just hang in there,
okay, sir? Help is on the way.
Forty-five-year-old male
with five-inch lacerations
to left lateral chest.
BP, 126 over 72.
Heart rate, 92. Resps, 16.
- That's stone-cold normal. - Yeah, I know.
- I don't upset easily.
- Why do you look familiar?
He's the guy that brought
in the stabbing victim earlier.
- 'No.' - Yeah, it is.
I mean, that's not where I know him from.
- Sir, can you move over? - Yeah.
- Easy. Easy. - Let's get the shirt off.
- Give me two times three. - Ah!
Type. And hold for four.
Uh, B positive. I had a
tetanus shot three months ago.
- Okay, we'll figure it out.
- Are you sure I don't know you?
I really don't think so, ma'am.
'Adam 5-5-3, are you back in service yet?'
Few minutes, Central.
'Adam, we have a priority
holding at 559 Riverdale.'
'Female with a major injury.'
'No further information at this time.'
Adam 5-5-3, 559 Riverdale.
- Alright. Let's go, Kim.
- Well, rest for the weekend.
Kim?
It was really nice meeting you.
You have an odd definition of nice.
Oh, you don't know the half of it.
Whoo!
Hey, Lou. Maybe I should hold on
to this stuff, just to be safe.
I'm gonna be checking boots later.
Leave it where it is, Jimmy.
- Isn't that litterin'?
- Yeah, I-I picked it up.
I can't throw it back on the ground.
Give me the money. Sullivan.
What do you want me to do with this?
What am I, a teller? Put it in the truck.
Logan, check the Cadillac
for occupants, disconnect the battery.
D.K., do the same with the
truck. Jim, you're with me.
Let's square this thing up
before we start climbing all over it.
Looks pretty secure to me.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Door won't open, the handle's
broke, we got two guys inside.
Yeah, and a monkey on top.
Why don't you get down from there, Bosco?
- Let us handle this.
- Give me, give me the money!
Give me.. Ah!
- 'Hey!' - Hey, police! Stop!
- Money, huh? - Alright.
Let's get to work. We're
gonna pop this windshield.
'We'll take the guys right out the front.'
This thing's bullet-proof, reinforced.
We're gonna have to use a
saw, so I'll cut through that motor.
- And pull it all out. - Alright.
Let's get the saws off.
5-5 David, a crook proceeding northbound.
King and 123.
Suspect is white male wearing black hoodie.
Wanted for robbery.
Hey! Hey!
Alright, that's it. Game's over. Get..
What are you doing?
He's gonna be a hell
of a lot easier to catch
when I'm not carrying an
extra 20 pounds of $100 bills.
- You're gonna go after him?
- He just tried to Mace us!
Bosco, who cares? We have the money.
Then stand here and guard it.
Bosco.
Bosco!
Bosco!
How come we never get the
overturned armored-car jobs?
Because we're lucky.
Yeah, it will be hard not to accidentally
let a few bucks fall into our med bag.
That's why we're lucky.
Hello? Paramedics.
Hurry up, please. She's bleeding too much.
- Hey! - Ah..
- Hold on, Reno. Hold on!
- My eyes! I can't see!
He's in there. Hold on. Look at me.
Keep your eyes closed.
Keep your eyes closed.
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Uniforms get him running,
Anti-crime scoops him up.
Can't be Macing people,
man. It's just plain rude.
- That's my collar. - Yeah.
It would have been if you'd have got him.
- I would have. - Right.
You were holdin' back.
I just come to clean and, a-and I find her.
- Looks self-inflicted. - Yeah.
Weak carotid.
- What's her name? - 'Nicole.'
Where's her parents?
Mr. Simmons. H-he's coming now.
Ah.
BP 70 palp.
Nicole. Nicole, can you hear me?
Nicole?
Pulse is 120.
I-I'm gonna start her IV
'large bore, rapid infusion.'
See if we can start
another one on that side.
Kim, finish your wrist.
It's her. It's Nicole.
The girl who accused Carlos.
Cruz is just bustin' your
chops. We'll get the collar.
She didn't sound like she was kiddin'.
She wouldn't screw me.
Bosco, don't do that.
That's not even funny.
I'm not. It's gone.
The money's gone.
- How is he?
- Needs to get to the hospital.
You're gonna be aright, Charlie, okay?
You just hang in there.
New York license, 8-4 Henry 2-5 George 6.
- Ma'am. - 'Why don't you sit down here?'
- Ma'am? Is this your car? - Yes, it is.
Do you realize you're not
supposed to walk away from it
when it's been in an accident?
I got off to help the poor woman.
She was knocked down
by these greedy animals.
Ah, the beauty of
humanity in all its glory.
I'm gonna need to see
your license and registration.
- Officer. - Give me a sec.
I don't have a sec.
Oh, well, I guess I should just
drop everything I'm doin' then.
Did you see this happen?
You mean, the accident or the multiple acts
of looting which followed?
Just tell me who was first on scene.
That'd be 5-5 David.
- Which ones are they? - Don't see 'em.
- We got a job at Mercy.
- Just sign right here.
Yeah, we won't be able
to leave 'til Dick Tracy here
has everything he needs.
Evidently, he's really important.
- The two cops, where'd they go?
- Thank you.
You know, it's not my
afternoon to keep track of 'em.
Can I go now, sir?
You know what this means, right?
- The rat squad.
- 'IAB is gonna be all over us.'
Pretend it never happened.
Stop it.
I'm gonna take a hit
for it, for doin' nothing.
Yeah, but what are we
gonna do when that perp
that Cruz stole from us says different?
'About the only good thing that's happened'
is we haven't done anything illegal.
And I'm not about to start now.
Fine.
- Where are you going?
- 'To find that money.'
Nicole. Oh, my God. What happened?
- You're her father? - Stepfather.
Is she allergic to any medications?
I don't know.
Has she been taking any medications?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Is she okay?
'Well, do you know what kind?'
It's always something with this kid.
- Sir, need to know what kind.
- Yeah, but I don't know.
Some kind of depression pills.
Something for mood
swings. I should call my wife.
Well, you can call her on the way.
We got to move. Get in the front seat.
I'll call you tomorrow.
That's my assistant.
And she works her butt off.
So back to the kid you brought in.
Uh, well, I meet him every
few days at the same spot.
Today when I rolled up,
he was getting stabbed.
And this is the black
guy with the baseball cap?
Yeah.
Well, that narrows it down for us.
I wonder what Derek Jeter was doing.
Yankees are on the road.
Oh, Mets are still in town.
Look, uh, he was stabbin'
at me and he got away
and, um, I was too busy helping
Jimmy to get a make on him, so..
Why exactly are you hanging with
drug-dealing gangbangers again?
I'm a journalist.
You know, writer.
Yeah, I know what a journalist is.
Noble, huh?
Here we go. Hm.
Aaron Noble. "Blue Line Fever."
What, the book about the sex trade?
'Couple of dirty cops and this jerk'
paints the whole house with the same brush.
Ah. I only wrote about what happened.
I didn't make anything up.
Yeah, some of those
guys get pretty messed up
over you writing about what happened.
Lost their jobs, their families.
Look, they all knew I was a journalist
and they all knew I was ridin' with them.
The only thing they didn't expect
was for me to tell the truth.
Ah, that makes it all better
then. Screw the families.
The money was marked. It's part
of an FBI undercover operation.
So if you know of anybody that has it
or if you hear of anything relating to it
will you give us a call?
Honey, just wait. They'll
be gone in a minute.
Now, what do I get if I do help?
- Um, the reward. - There's reward money?
Yeah, how much was that reward
money again, Officer Yokas?
Uh, there was a kid videotaping
the alley the whole time.
So we're gonna be
looking at that for clues.
But if you did happen to see anything..
This is going real well.
Not one honest person
in this whole damn city?
Well, unless you got any great ideas
I think we should tell
Swersky what happened.
'How's she doing?'
Heart rate's coming down a bit.
Uh, that's a good thing.
I mean, we're not out of
trouble yet, but it, it's something.
Thank you.
So you, uh, you mentioned
Nicole's been depressed.
More than usual.
She had a... a problem.
A run-in with another one of you people.
A paramedic.
Bastard touched her.
Sorry to hear that.
We were hoping she was past it.
Hello.
Honey, don't panic, okay?
We're in an ambulance
on the way to the hospital.
'Yeah, she hurt herself again.'
'I don't know. I am as
much at a loss as you are.'
'No, the cleaning lady found her.'
Mom.
'I got there after..'
She's meeting us in the hospital.
- Keep him away. - 'Melinda.'
- What? - 'Calm down.'
'The paramedics are helping her.'
Are you worried about the other paramedic?
- No. - He's not back here.
I'm the only one here with you, okay?
- Not him. - 'We'll be there any minute.'
'Mercy Hospital.'
'Take the FTR. It'll be
faster this time of day.'
He touches me.
- Your stepfather? - Yeah.
Honey... I love you.
Tell me this is a joke, Bosco.
You left it in a trash can?
- 5-5 David? - Yeah.
- Where the hell you've been?
- Who the hell are you?
Valenzuela. From Major Case.
- This is my investigation. - Right.
Well, they, uh, misplaced
some of the money.
- Misplaced? - Well..
We were planning on going back for it.
- We were chasing the suspect.
- Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Did anyone see you hide the
money, other than the perp?
Sergeant Cruz helped us make the collar
but that was after.
Maritza Cruz? Anti-crime?
Look, we were on our own on this, okay?
She showed up later.
She heard the 85 and
then she took the collar.
So she wasn't there for the stupid part?
Exactly.
Real crack team you got here, lieu.
I'm gonna need a
statement. Detailed statement.
Right now, finish up the accident report
and notifications.
We have to do the accident report?
You were first on the scene. It's your job.
- What about Sullivan and... - Bosco.
- We got it, sir. - We got it, sir.
- Kiss-up. - Shut up.
'Female, self-inflicted wrist wounds.'
Approximate one liter blood loss.
'BP, 100 palp. Heart rate, 110.'
'Respiration's 20.'
Established two large bore IVs
and two liters of saline onboard.
Okay, let's get her on the monitor.
Hang another liter. CBC and lights.
Urine-tox. One, two, three.
Okay, keep an eye con and it's been a..
What are they gonna do?
Well, they're gonna, uh,
take care of her injuries
and then they'll give her some medication
to absorb any pills or
drugs she has in her system.
- Doc? - Yeah.
I'm sure the doctor will come out
'and talk to you as soon as he can.'
Doc, I really need your
help with something.
Okay, well, in the meantime
I'll ask a nurse to come over here and..
- Anthony. Where is she? - Melinda.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to make this
guy comfortable, okay?
We got to be very careful.
W-what are you doing?
- Look, she's being molested. - What?
- At home. - She told you that?
In the bus while you were driving.
You talked to her? Why
didn't you say anything?
Well, like what, "Nicole's awake
and she just accused the guy
sitting next to you of touching her?"
Did she use any names,
actually, say he was doing it?
No, except, when I brought up the paramedic
she said that she didn't mean him.
She didn't use her stepfather's name?
No.
How do you know she was talking about him?
If you'd seen her, you'd know.
But he didn't. No one did.
- You don't believe me?
- There are no witnesses, Kim.
You know, Doc's right, I mean,
if she won't repeat the story
there's not much we can do.
She'll repeat it. She asked me for help.
- Alright, I'll talk to the mom.
- No, I'll talk to the mom.
You stay here, I'm pretty sure
you've worn out your
welcome with the West family.
Did you lock up the collar?
All tucked in.
You're not really taking it.
Depends. Where's my cut?
- You better be kidding. - Hey, lighten up.
Won't be the last time
you're gonna hear that.
IAB get to you?
Major Cases got the first shot.
Some tool named Valenzuela.
I won't? He's on this?
You know him?
Yeah, you could say that. We, uh..
We used to run around somethin'.
What does that mean?
We're tight. If I tell him to,
he'll keep you away from this.
Thanks. I appreciate it. We both do.
Yeah. I'm only doing what you'd do for me.
- Ramon? - Hey.
- Hey, you.
- There's a sight for sore eyes.
Miss me?
Well, at least you know you're working
with an experienced officer.
Kim.
You don't mind me using
your first name like that?
I overheard your partner.
That's fine. They're releasing you?
Ah. Ten stitches or less.
Sign myself out. You could
waste a lot of time in a hospital.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Well, I'm, I'm glad I was able
to see you again and say thank you.
For that? Don't worry
about it. That's my job.
Today was the most fun
I ever had on a stretcher.
Let me tell you, I've
been on more than a few.
Well, you're not the
worst patient I ever had.
Maybe we could, uh
have a drink, uh, or dinner?
I-I kinda have a policy
about seeing patients socially.
I'm not a patient anymore.
- Can I ask you a question? - Anything.
Why'd you lie?
"Why?"
You are the writer.
The cops told me. Sullivan and Davis.
Yeah, well, uh, those guys
aren't exactly my biggest fans.
Yeah, that's an understatement.
I didn't lie exactly now, did I?
- Well.. - Okay.
I'm, uh..
I'm in New York workin' on my new book
and I don't like to draw too
much attention to myself.
Yeah, well, y-you can't
just drop someone off
at the hospital and walk away and..
- What? - Oh, no.
I was just noticing the crinkles
on your forehead when you think
and... it's really cute.
Um, tell you what, I'm, uh..
I'm gonna be at the,
uh, Crimson Lion tonight.
Um, it's a pub. You know it?
- No. - Okay, here it is.
Um, think about, uh, coming
down when your shift ends.
I'd really like to buy you a drink.
No strings.
- Um.. - Hm?
You know what? Uh, don't
be surprised if I don't come.
Fair enough.
Thanks again.
Sure.
I don't know what I'm gonna do about her.
Uh, everything I try...
It could just be a phase, you know?
Kids her age, hormones in full bloom
and mood swing on a dime.
Never like this, though.
Well, she's lucky she's
got you and your husband.
- 'He's her stepdad you say?'
- 'Yeah. He's crazy about her.'
He just had to be a lot more strict lately.
Strict how, like, controlling?
As much as he can be with a teenager.
Hm. I work such crazy hours.
He does all he can to be
home for her after school
so she's not alone.
Mm-hmm. So they're close?
Very. Hey, why all these questions?
It's just procedure.
You're not a detective, officer.
Alright. Sorry.
But, uh, I'm gonna have
to call Child Services.
Why? It was a suicide attempt.
Coupled with an allegation of abuse.
- 'Abuse?' - Melinda, what's wrong?
He's calling Child Services.
What do you mean abuse? By who?
I've seen you before.
- Oh, my God. - 'What?'
These cops.
They're the ones that brought
that paramedic to our house.
You tried to get Nicole
to change her story.
Which she's done all on her own this time.
'Done what?'
She made a new claim of sexual abuse.
Is this what you do,
harass innocent families?
Sexual abuse by whom?
By someone other than Carlos Nieto.
- You go to hell! - Anthony?
What are you doin'?
Making sure we got credit for the collar.
You're just makin' sure
that Cruz isn't hangin' out
with that detective.
No, I wasn't.
Well, we've gotta go over to the hospital.
We gotta talk to the
driver of that armored truck.
What's your hurry?
Well, I'd like to finish up sometime today.
You know, we still have
IAB to look forward to.
Relax, it's not like we're gonna
be suspended or anything.
They just wanna talk to us.
Yeah, well, maybe that
doesn't mean that much to you.
None of this would've happened if we'd just
kept our mouth shut.
That's your answer for
everything these days, huh?
- Lie? - Oh, give me a break!
Two-hundred-thousand dollars disappears
'into that crappy neighborhood today.'
How many people you
think got their hands on it?
Twenty? Thirty? Who's
in trouble? You and me.
I'm supposed to feel guilty
about wantin' to cut a few corners?
Saying that you never saw the money
isn't cutting a few corners.
- It's a lie! - You know what?
I don't really give a damn
what you think anymore.
Then maybe you should find another partner.
Done.
I still can't believe it happened.
Thought it was supposed to be easy.
Tell me about it.
One run, then straight to the bank.
Charlie said something funny, you know?
I look up and suddenly
I'm at an intersection.
You hit the car in front of you?
No, I jerked the wheel
to avoid a collision.
Then the whole damn rig flipped over.
When can I go home? A-are we through?
Yeah, do me a favor, just leave
a contact number and address.
The light was green, so I went on through.
Looked over and there was
a truck comin' right at me.
- The truck ran the light?
- Smacked right into me.
And then that jeep came barrelin' in.
The lady didn't even
stop to see if I was hurt.
- Driver went home, I'm done. - I'm not.
- What lady? - In the blue jeep.
She must've grabbed five or six bags
right out of that truck
before she took off.
The blue jeep.
What are you talkin'
about? I wasn't listening.
Of course not.
What was I thinking?
So what happens now?
Detectives will be in touch.
Uh, Children's Services will be notified.
I'm tryin' to investigate OD Nicole.
No, to Nicole, what happens to her?
Hopefully, she'll ask for help.
And, uh, tell someone
else what she told you.
Otherwise, it's just hearsay.
But she already asked for help.
Kim, come on, we're done with this.
Let the police handle it.
Edward-Edward-Zebra-Nine-Seven.
I'm gonna need a registered
owner and an address
on that plate.
EZ-97 is the jeep that almost hit us.
Oh, now you're listening.
If it's about the job, I'm all ears.
She grabbed a bunch of money..
Okay, he's in v-fib, charge 200.
I think our traffic accident
just became a fatality.
Okay, clear!
Again, now, clear!
Doesn't look like we'll be
hearing his side of the story.
'David, that car's registered
to a Katherine Lewis.'
'4-5-4, East 87 Street.'
Wait a minute. He's going with her?
- Uh, Mrs. West. - Kim, don't do this.
Uh, uh, d-didn't you hear
the.. Did you talk to the police?
- What? - Kim, leave them alone.
Well, you heard what Nicole said to me?
It was you? You're the one.
Don't you see what this is, Melinda?
Haven't you people caused
enough damage already?
Nicole's problem has nothing to do with us.
The day she filed her complaint
we brought her in with a cut wrist.
You think that's a coincidence?
She said it was an accident.
She spoke to me. I can't help what I heard.
- You didn't hear anything.
- Hey, back off.
You were there. Did you hear anything?
She wouldn't lie.
Mrs. West, I didn't make this up.
Your daughter reached out
for help to me in the ambulance
and to everyone by hurting herself.
At least twice that I know of.
People who do this, sometimes
they're crying out for attention
and sometimes, sometimes they wanna die.
But either way, isn't
that worth your attention?
- She never said anything... - No, no.
You can keep pretending
this isn't happening
but you can't pretend anymore
that she isn't reaching out.
She is screaming at all of us to help her.
- Mrs. West, please. - Come on.
I'd like to see her alone.
Melinda, no.
- Why? - She's my baby.
- We're not through.
- I'm not hard to find.
Where are you going?
Afraid of what she'll say?
'Yes?'
Katherine Lewis, it's the police.
'Well, can I help you?'
You can start by opening the door.
Yes?
We need you to come down to the precinct
and answer a few questions.
You were involved in a
traffic accident earlier today?
- No. - You damn sure cut us off.
No, I was home all day.
And the reason that you're
not opening the door all the way
is because why?
I, uh, came by to tell her about Charlie.
This was a setup?
Crashed your own truck for the money?
No!
I don't believe this.
Nobody was supposed to get hurt.
Hurt?
Your friend, Charlie, he's dead.
- 'What?' - I just saw him.
We just came from the hospital, he's dead.
He's dead?
Cha.. Charlie's dead.
Oh, God! We killed him.
- I need you to... - I didn't do it.
I know, I need you to, uh,
to put your hand behind...
Katherine, nobody was supposed to get hurt.
'Put your hand behind your back.'
So what? What happens now?
Well, uh, now we get a warrant
and we have the detectives
pick up your husband.
Is she alright?
I think so.
The other paramedic, did you know him?
Yeah, we work with him.
Nicole said that he never touched her.
She was tryin' to get me
to see what was happening.
I'm withdrawing the complaint.
- Good. - Could you tell him I'm sorry?
Yes, I will.
Thank you for making me listen.
It was your daughter.
She made us both listen.
Man, you work late.
What are you doin' here?
I had to talk to you 'bout somethin'.
Who died?
Uh, how do I put this?
Nicole's mother is droppin' the charges.
What're you talking about?
It's a long story, but you're cleared.
Okay, you know what?
Don't mess with me, Ty.
This isn't funny, okay? It's not...
Hey, I-I would not joke
around 'bout somethin' like this.
Doc said it might take a little while
to get the paperwork in order
but you'll be gettin' a call soon.
I don't believe it.
You can keep on waiting tables if you want.
A lot of people think you
should be back at EMS.
- Who? - Doc, Kim, everybody.
- They said that? - Yeah.
- So-so this is really serious?
- Yes, completely, yes.
Ha-ha!
- Yeah, thank you! - Alright.
- Take it easy. - Thank you.
- We're in public. Yeah. - Right. Right.
- Right. Thanks, man. - Yeah, no problem.
Swersky thinks Major Case
is a back off the money we lost
as long as we don't mention
their little investigation
didn't actually find the real perps.
It's better than an IAB hit.
Uh-huh. So lying's alright if it helps you.
We already agreed to split up.
Let's just leave it at that.
I just find it kinda hypocritical.
We didn't lose that money, Bosco, you did.
I'm through justifying myself to you.
And I am through carryin'
around a three-year-old.
- Right, I'm one of your kids. - 'No.'
You couldn't be one of my
kids. My kids are mature.
No, I couldn't be one of your
kids because I actually see you.
'You kids don't have a mother.'
Maybe rollin' up on your
daughter in a squad car
counts as quality time.
- You son of a bitch.
- You got a great setup.
Things go wrong with the
kids, you weren't even there.
You got Fred to blame at home,
you got me to blame at work
and there's Saint Faith, the martyr.
You really think that you've
been carrying me around?
You're a little boy, Bosco.
You're a selfish little boy.
I used to feel sorry for you.
But now I just want you
the hell away from me.
Well, why not? That's
the way you handle people.
Keep 'em at a distance soon
as they become a problem.
Yeah, well, this problem is solved.
It's about time.
Then UK and, uh, United States.
Like, well, I mean, you know,
four of these draught beers
are-are Belgian brands.
Kim!
- Surprise. - I'm so glad you made it.
Well, you could've told
me there was a dress code.
You don't care what they're wearing.
Yeah, well, I'm talkin' more
about what I'm wearing.
You look great. Come on, come on.
- I don't know. - Settle in here.
Well.. Thank you. Oops, sorry.
Um..
So you made it.
- Yeah. - Mm. You ready for that drink?
- Yeah, maybe one. - Alright.
[theme musi
- Nicole. - Mom.
- You son of a bitch! - Hold on. Hold on.
Put a sling on your arm.
'You're here to dry out.'
Are you happy? He's dead!
I need you to tell us
who told you to hurt Miguel White.
He said it was Vernon Moss. He confessed.
He said he shot Miguel
White for Vernon Moss.
Did he really give you Vernon?
They want you downtown
first thing in the morning to..
Terminate you.
- You talk to Carlos at all? - No.
- You haven't called him? - No, not yet.
So you talked about replacing him?
- Kim. - What? I'm sorry.
I mean, he's not coming back, right?
You're gonna have to find a replacement.
Yo! I need some help here.
Dr. Fields!
Come on! This kid needs help, quick!
- What happened? - I don't know.
I found him like this.
- Alright. I got him. - 'Where?'
Well, I'm not sure. I was driving by.
You brought him in yourself?
Well, I figured it was better
than waiting for an ambulance
even if he did bleed all over my car.
Alright, well, wait here, the cops
are gonna wanna talk to you.
One, two, three.
Okay, run two large bores wide open.
- 'Where'd he go?' - What?
That guy. He's gone.
Like the Lone Ranger. Didn't
even wait for a thank you.
Come on, let's go.
You gotta be kidding. Carlos a waiter?
He's got rent to pay. Same as you and me.
I just can't picture it.
Well, I give him credit. He's trying.
Yeah, but you give everybody credit.
- You doin' alright? - Yes, Ty.
- I'm still doin' alright.
- 'I'm.. Hey, I'm only asking.'
Only asking every ten minutes.
Well, I wanna make sure
you're ready to be out here.
Well, we'll find out today, won't we?
- Better here than at home.
- Idle minds, right?
Devil's playground.
I thought that was idle hands.
How can a hand be a playground?
- And isn't it workshop? - Is it?
I don't know, you said it.
Well, whatever. I'm glad you're back.
Yeah. Good.
So how was the TRID quiz?
You can't ask me that at home?
I'm asking you now.
- It was fine, mom. - Good.
So you want a ride home?
Can I please just walk with my friends?
Well, there's three of 'em.
We can give 'em a ride.
- Mom, please.
- Alright, I want you to, uh..
I want you to go straight home
and then, uh, call me on my cell
when you get there, alright?
Mm-hmm.
- No excuses. - Yes, ma'am.
I love you.
Don't start.
She made a mistake once.
Maybe you should cut her a little slack.
Spare me your vast
knowledge on raising teenagers.
You have to start trustin'
her again sooner or later.
People earn trust, Bosco.
I don't have to give it to anyone.
- Meaning? - 'On that subject..'
You and your girlfriend, Cruz
would be the last people
to be giving out advice.
So is every topic gonna lead
back to me and Cruz now?
No, just trust.
Because what happens between
us is none of your business.
It would be impossible
for me to overstate..
How uninterested I am
in anything that happens
between the two of you.
Good.
Great.
What, are we invisible?
'It's King-eight-Edward... "'
It's vanity. EZ-97.
- Bosco, wait. - What?
- Look down there. - 'Is that money?'
Yeah, lots of it.
5-5 David Central, we have
an overturned armored truck
at King and 123.
We're gonna need EMS and backup on a rush.
Not to mention a shovel
and a really big bag.
Hey! Everybody drop what
they have in their hands..
Get the hell out of here.
Give me this. Come on,
guys. Get the hell out of here.
Drop what you have and walk away.
I don't really know what to say.
About what?
- To Carlos, you know? - Yeah. I do.
Let's go, folks. Light's green.
Same reason I haven't called him.
"Hey, Carlos. How's it goin'?"
Well, I pretty much
know how it's goin', right?
'The guy just lost his job.'
What the hell is with this traffic?
Car at the light's not moving.
'Adam 5-5-3, take an MVA with injuries'
'King and 123.'
10-4 Central.
- Well, we gotta move!
- 'Hey, put it in gear!'
Let's go. We need to get movin' here!
Hey, folks.
Hey. Hey, come on, we're on a call here.
Hey, listen, you gotta
get moving. Let's go.
Hey.
Kim. Get the bags!
Let me help you out here.
Careful, alright? I got you.
I got you. Careful. Careful..
Whoa! Whoa. Careful.
- What do you got? - I'm not sure.
Isn't that the guy from the hospital?
- Lone-Ranger guy? - Yeah.
Look, I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Relax. Calm down, okay? What happened?
Well, it's a long story.
'Where's all this blood coming from?'
Yeah, well, I'll bet it's this huge
stab wound that's his problem.
I'll get the stretcher,
alright? Be right back.
Adam 5-5-3, you're gonna
have to reassign that MVA.
- Ha.. - How's your breathing?
Pretty good. Pretty good. Yours?
You lose consciousness at all?
Well, once in the '60s.
But, uh, well, it was the '60s.
- Ha-ha! - 'Alright.'
Okay. Okay. Alright.
Easy, easy, easy. Easy.
Now why don't you stop
with the comedy routine
and just answer my questions?
Yes, ma'am.
- 'Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!' - People! People!
Give me the, give me the money. People!
Do you see the uniform? You.. Then move!
- Give me that.. - 'Ah!'
- Where's the driver? - Take a wild guess.
Oh, this world would be such
a better place without people.
No, no, no, no. Stay right there.
I did not just see that bus driver..
Get back up on the sidewalk, please.
- 'What are you doing? Hey!'
- No one's listening.
That's great. Put the money down, ma'am.
5-5 David to Central, where is our backup?
We need additional units
and a supervisor at this location.
Sir, walk away now!
Move! Back up. Right now!
- Hey! - 'Back up!'
Are you crazy?
No, no, no. Uh..
- Hey, don't lose that. - Right.
Please.
- Hospital's not far. - Yeah, I remember.
Why would you leave if you were hurt?
I don't know. I was..
I get frequent bleeder
miles in that there hospital.
- Great, more jokes. - Sorry.
- Name? - Uh, Aaron, uh, with two As.
- Last name? - Noble.
Hey, there's a writer named Aaron Noble.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah. You ever read him?
I don't think so.
He was kind of like a reporter,
travels all over the world
and writes about war and things like that.
But, yeah, not like other writers.
Don't you reach me inside?
Lives with the regular
people. He's really good.
Oh, well, I'll have to check him out.
They made one of his books
into a movie. "Last Inventory."
That was a horrible movie.
Yeah, well, the book was much better.
Oh.
Here.
'Get away from the truck.'
'You, that's not yours. Drop it.'
You're pissing me off, man.
- 'Hey! Hey!' - Drop the money!
- Put the money down.
- Everybody drop the money.
Put it down and walk away.
Put, put the money down.
Sir, I'm telling you, put the money down.
- Unbelievable. Hey! - What are you doing?
- Come here. Drop it.
- Ma'am, you'll go to jail.
You! Drop the money. Drop the
money. Walk away. Pizza guy.
Hey, what are you
doing? Drop it. All of it.
- These are my tips! - Fifties?
- 'Put the money down!' - Hey, come here!
Can I revise my
I'm-ready-to-be-here speech?
Get out of here or I'll shoot ya!
You hear me? Get the hell
out of here. I'll shoot myself!
- Sir, are you alright? - Charlie. Charlie.
Where are you hurt, sir?
I think I broke my arm.
But Charlie's hurt really bad.
You gotta help him.
He's bleeding really bad.
He needs a doctor.
Don't panic, alright? We're
gonna get you out of here.
You just hang in there,
okay, sir? Help is on the way.
Forty-five-year-old male
with five-inch lacerations
to left lateral chest.
BP, 126 over 72.
Heart rate, 92. Resps, 16.
- That's stone-cold normal. - Yeah, I know.
- I don't upset easily.
- Why do you look familiar?
He's the guy that brought
in the stabbing victim earlier.
- 'No.' - Yeah, it is.
I mean, that's not where I know him from.
- Sir, can you move over? - Yeah.
- Easy. Easy. - Let's get the shirt off.
- Give me two times three. - Ah!
Type. And hold for four.
Uh, B positive. I had a
tetanus shot three months ago.
- Okay, we'll figure it out.
- Are you sure I don't know you?
I really don't think so, ma'am.
'Adam 5-5-3, are you back in service yet?'
Few minutes, Central.
'Adam, we have a priority
holding at 559 Riverdale.'
'Female with a major injury.'
'No further information at this time.'
Adam 5-5-3, 559 Riverdale.
- Alright. Let's go, Kim.
- Well, rest for the weekend.
Kim?
It was really nice meeting you.
You have an odd definition of nice.
Oh, you don't know the half of it.
Whoo!
Hey, Lou. Maybe I should hold on
to this stuff, just to be safe.
I'm gonna be checking boots later.
Leave it where it is, Jimmy.
- Isn't that litterin'?
- Yeah, I-I picked it up.
I can't throw it back on the ground.
Give me the money. Sullivan.
What do you want me to do with this?
What am I, a teller? Put it in the truck.
Logan, check the Cadillac
for occupants, disconnect the battery.
D.K., do the same with the
truck. Jim, you're with me.
Let's square this thing up
before we start climbing all over it.
Looks pretty secure to me.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Door won't open, the handle's
broke, we got two guys inside.
Yeah, and a monkey on top.
Why don't you get down from there, Bosco?
- Let us handle this.
- Give me, give me the money!
Give me.. Ah!
- 'Hey!' - Hey, police! Stop!
- Money, huh? - Alright.
Let's get to work. We're
gonna pop this windshield.
'We'll take the guys right out the front.'
This thing's bullet-proof, reinforced.
We're gonna have to use a
saw, so I'll cut through that motor.
- And pull it all out. - Alright.
Let's get the saws off.
5-5 David, a crook proceeding northbound.
King and 123.
Suspect is white male wearing black hoodie.
Wanted for robbery.
Hey! Hey!
Alright, that's it. Game's over. Get..
What are you doing?
He's gonna be a hell
of a lot easier to catch
when I'm not carrying an
extra 20 pounds of $100 bills.
- You're gonna go after him?
- He just tried to Mace us!
Bosco, who cares? We have the money.
Then stand here and guard it.
Bosco.
Bosco!
Bosco!
How come we never get the
overturned armored-car jobs?
Because we're lucky.
Yeah, it will be hard not to accidentally
let a few bucks fall into our med bag.
That's why we're lucky.
Hello? Paramedics.
Hurry up, please. She's bleeding too much.
- Hey! - Ah..
- Hold on, Reno. Hold on!
- My eyes! I can't see!
He's in there. Hold on. Look at me.
Keep your eyes closed.
Keep your eyes closed.
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Uniforms get him running,
Anti-crime scoops him up.
Can't be Macing people,
man. It's just plain rude.
- That's my collar. - Yeah.
It would have been if you'd have got him.
- I would have. - Right.
You were holdin' back.
I just come to clean and, a-and I find her.
- Looks self-inflicted. - Yeah.
Weak carotid.
- What's her name? - 'Nicole.'
Where's her parents?
Mr. Simmons. H-he's coming now.
Ah.
BP 70 palp.
Nicole. Nicole, can you hear me?
Nicole?
Pulse is 120.
I-I'm gonna start her IV
'large bore, rapid infusion.'
See if we can start
another one on that side.
Kim, finish your wrist.
It's her. It's Nicole.
The girl who accused Carlos.
Cruz is just bustin' your
chops. We'll get the collar.
She didn't sound like she was kiddin'.
She wouldn't screw me.
Bosco, don't do that.
That's not even funny.
I'm not. It's gone.
The money's gone.
- How is he?
- Needs to get to the hospital.
You're gonna be aright, Charlie, okay?
You just hang in there.
New York license, 8-4 Henry 2-5 George 6.
- Ma'am. - 'Why don't you sit down here?'
- Ma'am? Is this your car? - Yes, it is.
Do you realize you're not
supposed to walk away from it
when it's been in an accident?
I got off to help the poor woman.
She was knocked down
by these greedy animals.
Ah, the beauty of
humanity in all its glory.
I'm gonna need to see
your license and registration.
- Officer. - Give me a sec.
I don't have a sec.
Oh, well, I guess I should just
drop everything I'm doin' then.
Did you see this happen?
You mean, the accident or the multiple acts
of looting which followed?
Just tell me who was first on scene.
That'd be 5-5 David.
- Which ones are they? - Don't see 'em.
- We got a job at Mercy.
- Just sign right here.
Yeah, we won't be able
to leave 'til Dick Tracy here
has everything he needs.
Evidently, he's really important.
- The two cops, where'd they go?
- Thank you.
You know, it's not my
afternoon to keep track of 'em.
Can I go now, sir?
You know what this means, right?
- The rat squad.
- 'IAB is gonna be all over us.'
Pretend it never happened.
Stop it.
I'm gonna take a hit
for it, for doin' nothing.
Yeah, but what are we
gonna do when that perp
that Cruz stole from us says different?
'About the only good thing that's happened'
is we haven't done anything illegal.
And I'm not about to start now.
Fine.
- Where are you going?
- 'To find that money.'
Nicole. Oh, my God. What happened?
- You're her father? - Stepfather.
Is she allergic to any medications?
I don't know.
Has she been taking any medications?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Is she okay?
'Well, do you know what kind?'
It's always something with this kid.
- Sir, need to know what kind.
- Yeah, but I don't know.
Some kind of depression pills.
Something for mood
swings. I should call my wife.
Well, you can call her on the way.
We got to move. Get in the front seat.
I'll call you tomorrow.
That's my assistant.
And she works her butt off.
So back to the kid you brought in.
Uh, well, I meet him every
few days at the same spot.
Today when I rolled up,
he was getting stabbed.
And this is the black
guy with the baseball cap?
Yeah.
Well, that narrows it down for us.
I wonder what Derek Jeter was doing.
Yankees are on the road.
Oh, Mets are still in town.
Look, uh, he was stabbin'
at me and he got away
and, um, I was too busy helping
Jimmy to get a make on him, so..
Why exactly are you hanging with
drug-dealing gangbangers again?
I'm a journalist.
You know, writer.
Yeah, I know what a journalist is.
Noble, huh?
Here we go. Hm.
Aaron Noble. "Blue Line Fever."
What, the book about the sex trade?
'Couple of dirty cops and this jerk'
paints the whole house with the same brush.
Ah. I only wrote about what happened.
I didn't make anything up.
Yeah, some of those
guys get pretty messed up
over you writing about what happened.
Lost their jobs, their families.
Look, they all knew I was a journalist
and they all knew I was ridin' with them.
The only thing they didn't expect
was for me to tell the truth.
Ah, that makes it all better
then. Screw the families.
The money was marked. It's part
of an FBI undercover operation.
So if you know of anybody that has it
or if you hear of anything relating to it
will you give us a call?
Honey, just wait. They'll
be gone in a minute.
Now, what do I get if I do help?
- Um, the reward. - There's reward money?
Yeah, how much was that reward
money again, Officer Yokas?
Uh, there was a kid videotaping
the alley the whole time.
So we're gonna be
looking at that for clues.
But if you did happen to see anything..
This is going real well.
Not one honest person
in this whole damn city?
Well, unless you got any great ideas
I think we should tell
Swersky what happened.
'How's she doing?'
Heart rate's coming down a bit.
Uh, that's a good thing.
I mean, we're not out of
trouble yet, but it, it's something.
Thank you.
So you, uh, you mentioned
Nicole's been depressed.
More than usual.
She had a... a problem.
A run-in with another one of you people.
A paramedic.
Bastard touched her.
Sorry to hear that.
We were hoping she was past it.
Hello.
Honey, don't panic, okay?
We're in an ambulance
on the way to the hospital.
'Yeah, she hurt herself again.'
'I don't know. I am as
much at a loss as you are.'
'No, the cleaning lady found her.'
Mom.
'I got there after..'
She's meeting us in the hospital.
- Keep him away. - 'Melinda.'
- What? - 'Calm down.'
'The paramedics are helping her.'
Are you worried about the other paramedic?
- No. - He's not back here.
I'm the only one here with you, okay?
- Not him. - 'We'll be there any minute.'
'Mercy Hospital.'
'Take the FTR. It'll be
faster this time of day.'
He touches me.
- Your stepfather? - Yeah.
Honey... I love you.
Tell me this is a joke, Bosco.
You left it in a trash can?
- 5-5 David? - Yeah.
- Where the hell you've been?
- Who the hell are you?
Valenzuela. From Major Case.
- This is my investigation. - Right.
Well, they, uh, misplaced
some of the money.
- Misplaced? - Well..
We were planning on going back for it.
- We were chasing the suspect.
- Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Did anyone see you hide the
money, other than the perp?
Sergeant Cruz helped us make the collar
but that was after.
Maritza Cruz? Anti-crime?
Look, we were on our own on this, okay?
She showed up later.
She heard the 85 and
then she took the collar.
So she wasn't there for the stupid part?
Exactly.
Real crack team you got here, lieu.
I'm gonna need a
statement. Detailed statement.
Right now, finish up the accident report
and notifications.
We have to do the accident report?
You were first on the scene. It's your job.
- What about Sullivan and... - Bosco.
- We got it, sir. - We got it, sir.
- Kiss-up. - Shut up.
'Female, self-inflicted wrist wounds.'
Approximate one liter blood loss.
'BP, 100 palp. Heart rate, 110.'
'Respiration's 20.'
Established two large bore IVs
and two liters of saline onboard.
Okay, let's get her on the monitor.
Hang another liter. CBC and lights.
Urine-tox. One, two, three.
Okay, keep an eye con and it's been a..
What are they gonna do?
Well, they're gonna, uh,
take care of her injuries
and then they'll give her some medication
to absorb any pills or
drugs she has in her system.
- Doc? - Yeah.
I'm sure the doctor will come out
'and talk to you as soon as he can.'
Doc, I really need your
help with something.
Okay, well, in the meantime
I'll ask a nurse to come over here and..
- Anthony. Where is she? - Melinda.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to make this
guy comfortable, okay?
We got to be very careful.
W-what are you doing?
- Look, she's being molested. - What?
- At home. - She told you that?
In the bus while you were driving.
You talked to her? Why
didn't you say anything?
Well, like what, "Nicole's awake
and she just accused the guy
sitting next to you of touching her?"
Did she use any names,
actually, say he was doing it?
No, except, when I brought up the paramedic
she said that she didn't mean him.
She didn't use her stepfather's name?
No.
How do you know she was talking about him?
If you'd seen her, you'd know.
But he didn't. No one did.
- You don't believe me?
- There are no witnesses, Kim.
You know, Doc's right, I mean,
if she won't repeat the story
there's not much we can do.
She'll repeat it. She asked me for help.
- Alright, I'll talk to the mom.
- No, I'll talk to the mom.
You stay here, I'm pretty sure
you've worn out your
welcome with the West family.
Did you lock up the collar?
All tucked in.
You're not really taking it.
Depends. Where's my cut?
- You better be kidding. - Hey, lighten up.
Won't be the last time
you're gonna hear that.
IAB get to you?
Major Cases got the first shot.
Some tool named Valenzuela.
I won't? He's on this?
You know him?
Yeah, you could say that. We, uh..
We used to run around somethin'.
What does that mean?
We're tight. If I tell him to,
he'll keep you away from this.
Thanks. I appreciate it. We both do.
Yeah. I'm only doing what you'd do for me.
- Ramon? - Hey.
- Hey, you.
- There's a sight for sore eyes.
Miss me?
Well, at least you know you're working
with an experienced officer.
Kim.
You don't mind me using
your first name like that?
I overheard your partner.
That's fine. They're releasing you?
Ah. Ten stitches or less.
Sign myself out. You could
waste a lot of time in a hospital.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Well, I'm, I'm glad I was able
to see you again and say thank you.
For that? Don't worry
about it. That's my job.
Today was the most fun
I ever had on a stretcher.
Let me tell you, I've
been on more than a few.
Well, you're not the
worst patient I ever had.
Maybe we could, uh
have a drink, uh, or dinner?
I-I kinda have a policy
about seeing patients socially.
I'm not a patient anymore.
- Can I ask you a question? - Anything.
Why'd you lie?
"Why?"
You are the writer.
The cops told me. Sullivan and Davis.
Yeah, well, uh, those guys
aren't exactly my biggest fans.
Yeah, that's an understatement.
I didn't lie exactly now, did I?
- Well.. - Okay.
I'm, uh..
I'm in New York workin' on my new book
and I don't like to draw too
much attention to myself.
Yeah, well, y-you can't
just drop someone off
at the hospital and walk away and..
- What? - Oh, no.
I was just noticing the crinkles
on your forehead when you think
and... it's really cute.
Um, tell you what, I'm, uh..
I'm gonna be at the,
uh, Crimson Lion tonight.
Um, it's a pub. You know it?
- No. - Okay, here it is.
Um, think about, uh, coming
down when your shift ends.
I'd really like to buy you a drink.
No strings.
- Um.. - Hm?
You know what? Uh, don't
be surprised if I don't come.
Fair enough.
Thanks again.
Sure.
I don't know what I'm gonna do about her.
Uh, everything I try...
It could just be a phase, you know?
Kids her age, hormones in full bloom
and mood swing on a dime.
Never like this, though.
Well, she's lucky she's
got you and your husband.
- 'He's her stepdad you say?'
- 'Yeah. He's crazy about her.'
He just had to be a lot more strict lately.
Strict how, like, controlling?
As much as he can be with a teenager.
Hm. I work such crazy hours.
He does all he can to be
home for her after school
so she's not alone.
Mm-hmm. So they're close?
Very. Hey, why all these questions?
It's just procedure.
You're not a detective, officer.
Alright. Sorry.
But, uh, I'm gonna have
to call Child Services.
Why? It was a suicide attempt.
Coupled with an allegation of abuse.
- 'Abuse?' - Melinda, what's wrong?
He's calling Child Services.
What do you mean abuse? By who?
I've seen you before.
- Oh, my God. - 'What?'
These cops.
They're the ones that brought
that paramedic to our house.
You tried to get Nicole
to change her story.
Which she's done all on her own this time.
'Done what?'
She made a new claim of sexual abuse.
Is this what you do,
harass innocent families?
Sexual abuse by whom?
By someone other than Carlos Nieto.
- You go to hell! - Anthony?
What are you doin'?
Making sure we got credit for the collar.
You're just makin' sure
that Cruz isn't hangin' out
with that detective.
No, I wasn't.
Well, we've gotta go over to the hospital.
We gotta talk to the
driver of that armored truck.
What's your hurry?
Well, I'd like to finish up sometime today.
You know, we still have
IAB to look forward to.
Relax, it's not like we're gonna
be suspended or anything.
They just wanna talk to us.
Yeah, well, maybe that
doesn't mean that much to you.
None of this would've happened if we'd just
kept our mouth shut.
That's your answer for
everything these days, huh?
- Lie? - Oh, give me a break!
Two-hundred-thousand dollars disappears
'into that crappy neighborhood today.'
How many people you
think got their hands on it?
Twenty? Thirty? Who's
in trouble? You and me.
I'm supposed to feel guilty
about wantin' to cut a few corners?
Saying that you never saw the money
isn't cutting a few corners.
- It's a lie! - You know what?
I don't really give a damn
what you think anymore.
Then maybe you should find another partner.
Done.
I still can't believe it happened.
Thought it was supposed to be easy.
Tell me about it.
One run, then straight to the bank.
Charlie said something funny, you know?
I look up and suddenly
I'm at an intersection.
You hit the car in front of you?
No, I jerked the wheel
to avoid a collision.
Then the whole damn rig flipped over.
When can I go home? A-are we through?
Yeah, do me a favor, just leave
a contact number and address.
The light was green, so I went on through.
Looked over and there was
a truck comin' right at me.
- The truck ran the light?
- Smacked right into me.
And then that jeep came barrelin' in.
The lady didn't even
stop to see if I was hurt.
- Driver went home, I'm done. - I'm not.
- What lady? - In the blue jeep.
She must've grabbed five or six bags
right out of that truck
before she took off.
The blue jeep.
What are you talkin'
about? I wasn't listening.
Of course not.
What was I thinking?
So what happens now?
Detectives will be in touch.
Uh, Children's Services will be notified.
I'm tryin' to investigate OD Nicole.
No, to Nicole, what happens to her?
Hopefully, she'll ask for help.
And, uh, tell someone
else what she told you.
Otherwise, it's just hearsay.
But she already asked for help.
Kim, come on, we're done with this.
Let the police handle it.
Edward-Edward-Zebra-Nine-Seven.
I'm gonna need a registered
owner and an address
on that plate.
EZ-97 is the jeep that almost hit us.
Oh, now you're listening.
If it's about the job, I'm all ears.
She grabbed a bunch of money..
Okay, he's in v-fib, charge 200.
I think our traffic accident
just became a fatality.
Okay, clear!
Again, now, clear!
Doesn't look like we'll be
hearing his side of the story.
'David, that car's registered
to a Katherine Lewis.'
'4-5-4, East 87 Street.'
Wait a minute. He's going with her?
- Uh, Mrs. West. - Kim, don't do this.
Uh, uh, d-didn't you hear
the.. Did you talk to the police?
- What? - Kim, leave them alone.
Well, you heard what Nicole said to me?
It was you? You're the one.
Don't you see what this is, Melinda?
Haven't you people caused
enough damage already?
Nicole's problem has nothing to do with us.
The day she filed her complaint
we brought her in with a cut wrist.
You think that's a coincidence?
She said it was an accident.
She spoke to me. I can't help what I heard.
- You didn't hear anything.
- Hey, back off.
You were there. Did you hear anything?
She wouldn't lie.
Mrs. West, I didn't make this up.
Your daughter reached out
for help to me in the ambulance
and to everyone by hurting herself.
At least twice that I know of.
People who do this, sometimes
they're crying out for attention
and sometimes, sometimes they wanna die.
But either way, isn't
that worth your attention?
- She never said anything... - No, no.
You can keep pretending
this isn't happening
but you can't pretend anymore
that she isn't reaching out.
She is screaming at all of us to help her.
- Mrs. West, please. - Come on.
I'd like to see her alone.
Melinda, no.
- Why? - She's my baby.
- We're not through.
- I'm not hard to find.
Where are you going?
Afraid of what she'll say?
'Yes?'
Katherine Lewis, it's the police.
'Well, can I help you?'
You can start by opening the door.
Yes?
We need you to come down to the precinct
and answer a few questions.
You were involved in a
traffic accident earlier today?
- No. - You damn sure cut us off.
No, I was home all day.
And the reason that you're
not opening the door all the way
is because why?
I, uh, came by to tell her about Charlie.
This was a setup?
Crashed your own truck for the money?
No!
I don't believe this.
Nobody was supposed to get hurt.
Hurt?
Your friend, Charlie, he's dead.
- 'What?' - I just saw him.
We just came from the hospital, he's dead.
He's dead?
Cha.. Charlie's dead.
Oh, God! We killed him.
- I need you to... - I didn't do it.
I know, I need you to, uh,
to put your hand behind...
Katherine, nobody was supposed to get hurt.
'Put your hand behind your back.'
So what? What happens now?
Well, uh, now we get a warrant
and we have the detectives
pick up your husband.
Is she alright?
I think so.
The other paramedic, did you know him?
Yeah, we work with him.
Nicole said that he never touched her.
She was tryin' to get me
to see what was happening.
I'm withdrawing the complaint.
- Good. - Could you tell him I'm sorry?
Yes, I will.
Thank you for making me listen.
It was your daughter.
She made us both listen.
Man, you work late.
What are you doin' here?
I had to talk to you 'bout somethin'.
Who died?
Uh, how do I put this?
Nicole's mother is droppin' the charges.
What're you talking about?
It's a long story, but you're cleared.
Okay, you know what?
Don't mess with me, Ty.
This isn't funny, okay? It's not...
Hey, I-I would not joke
around 'bout somethin' like this.
Doc said it might take a little while
to get the paperwork in order
but you'll be gettin' a call soon.
I don't believe it.
You can keep on waiting tables if you want.
A lot of people think you
should be back at EMS.
- Who? - Doc, Kim, everybody.
- They said that? - Yeah.
- So-so this is really serious?
- Yes, completely, yes.
Ha-ha!
- Yeah, thank you! - Alright.
- Take it easy. - Thank you.
- We're in public. Yeah. - Right. Right.
- Right. Thanks, man. - Yeah, no problem.
Swersky thinks Major Case
is a back off the money we lost
as long as we don't mention
their little investigation
didn't actually find the real perps.
It's better than an IAB hit.
Uh-huh. So lying's alright if it helps you.
We already agreed to split up.
Let's just leave it at that.
I just find it kinda hypocritical.
We didn't lose that money, Bosco, you did.
I'm through justifying myself to you.
And I am through carryin'
around a three-year-old.
- Right, I'm one of your kids. - 'No.'
You couldn't be one of my
kids. My kids are mature.
No, I couldn't be one of your
kids because I actually see you.
'You kids don't have a mother.'
Maybe rollin' up on your
daughter in a squad car
counts as quality time.
- You son of a bitch.
- You got a great setup.
Things go wrong with the
kids, you weren't even there.
You got Fred to blame at home,
you got me to blame at work
and there's Saint Faith, the martyr.
You really think that you've
been carrying me around?
You're a little boy, Bosco.
You're a selfish little boy.
I used to feel sorry for you.
But now I just want you
the hell away from me.
Well, why not? That's
the way you handle people.
Keep 'em at a distance soon
as they become a problem.
Yeah, well, this problem is solved.
It's about time.
Then UK and, uh, United States.
Like, well, I mean, you know,
four of these draught beers
are-are Belgian brands.
Kim!
- Surprise. - I'm so glad you made it.
Well, you could've told
me there was a dress code.
You don't care what they're wearing.
Yeah, well, I'm talkin' more
about what I'm wearing.
You look great. Come on, come on.
- I don't know. - Settle in here.
Well.. Thank you. Oops, sorry.
Um..
So you made it.
- Yeah. - Mm. You ready for that drink?
- Yeah, maybe one. - Alright.
