Previously on "Third Watch.."

Kylie has idiopathic aplastic anemia.

I don't need you to tell
me how she can die.

I want you to tell me
how we're gonna save her.

Our best bet is a bone marrow transplant.

What happens if we don't find a match?

Then her prognosis is only
about six to eight months.

- You want me to talk about her?
- It's worth a shot.

And if it pulls the right
strings, affiliates from across

the country will wanna run the story too.

I've been told my father died in
an accident about 25 years ago.



If anyone out there thinks that
they know something about me

or my family, I need a
matching donor for my daughter.

- Your job is to take... - No, no, whoa.

I don't need you to tell me what my job is.

I was doing this job long before

you even thought about being a paramedic.

I just can't get a handle on you lately.

- What do you mean? - What do I mean?

- Yeah, what do you mean?
- You're all over the place.

You're-you're up, you're
down, you're hot, you're cold.

I'll take him off your hands.

Whole arrest, paperwork included.

Since when are you so generous?

Building up overtime for retirement?



Next summer.

'Carlos, this is your mother.'

Maybe she really didn't miss it.

- She's on this flight. - Maybe.

5-5 Charlie. We're at
the scene of that fire.

It's in an abandoned building.

Take it easy.

I thought this building was abandoned.

Me too. Turn him over.

'In here! In here!'

'Help us. We're in here! Help!'

Where are you goin'?

'Sully!'

Freddy, Gus. Come on,
Billy, let's go. Go and help PD.

Davis, what do you got?

- Sully ran inside.
- Let's get this guy out.

- Come on. - My, my friends..

We'll get them out, don't worry.

Come on.

- Where's Sully? - Sully just ran in there.

- I don't know what he's doing. - What?

Here.

Come on.

Alright, watch your step!
Watch your step! Easy.

- There you go. - There's more inside.

- What? - A lot more.

EMS.

I don't know if she's breathing.

She is, but not very well.
Get me a run of vitals.

There are more people inside.

- I think they're all adults.
- Well, Fire will get them.

- How about you? You alright?
- Yeah, I'm good.

Resps are shallow, but good bilaterally.

Pulse is weak and thready at 60.

Alright, set up the quick
leads. I wanna see her rhythm.

There were Christmas decorations.

- Decorations!
- Relax, Sully, relax, alright?

Sully, stay here, I'll look at you.

Davis..

Did I ever tell you I hate Christmas?

- You get looked at?
- Yeah, Doc checked me out.

- So, how's the little girl? - She's fine.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- We're good at this, Sul.
- Completely fine?

Yeah, I was just talking to
her couple of minutes ago.

- Go and see. - No, no. It's okay.

- I believe you.
- How about the other people?

Well, they ate a lot of
smoke but they'll be alright.

Big fire like that and nobody died?

Yeah, this time of year,
miracles can happen.

- Sure, they can. - Gotta have faith.

Yeah, well, right now, I'll
settle for a cup of coffee.

- Scrooge. - You have no idea.

- But nice job out there. - Yeah.

That's why they pay me the small bucks.

Kim, did you catch her name?

- Audrey. - Audrey.

Ah, I knew there was a
human somewhere in there.

- 'Who?' - You won't believe if I told.

- Is everyone alright? - Hundred percent.

- Oh! Nice work, lady. - Ow!

Man, this is golden time. One
job finished, everybody made it.

- Haven't got another one yet?
- Not yet. Don't jinx me.

- 'Finished, Kim?' - See?

Holding a few jobs in your section, so..

Yeah, well, nature
girl's restocking the bus

and I haven't finished
with this report yet.

Just hurry up, alright?

He, isn't Kim the supervisor, Doc?

Was I talking to you?

- What? - Just stay out of it, Jimmy.

Yeah, yeah, just stay out of it, Jimmy.

- What the hell was all about?
- Welcome to my life.

But you've gotta have one Onion in stock.

All I need is one Oliver The Onion.

And I know, you must save
some for, like, employees

or-or special customers.

Excuse me, yes, I know
how close it is to Christmas.

You think I just started
looking for this thing tonight?

Do I sound stupid to you?

I'm not getting an
attitude, I'm just saying

you're talking to me like I'm an idiot.

Hello, hello.

- Damn it! - Oliver The Onion?

I'm not in the mood for your mouth, Bosco.

An onion named Oliver.

Do you know what it's like to
have a four year old ask you

for the same toy that
every other child in the world

is asking for from Santa Claus?

It's your sister's kid, shouldn't she

be the one on the phone?

Yeah, but she's got homework and school.

I'm, it's cool. I'm available.

You're not available. You're working.

Didn't I just say I don't
wanna hear your mouth?

Alright, alright, why-why
don't you just tell them

you're a cop? Everybody likes us now.

I shouldn't have to say that
I'm a police officer to get a toy.

You know, what you should get
the kid? Cops-and-robbers' set.

Plastic handcuffs, chrome revolv...

- Guns? - That's what I always got.

And look how well-adjusted you turned out.

And if I hear one more
happy, happy Merry Christmas

salesperson tell me that they
don't have this damn Onion

I'm gonna rip somebody..
Hi, Merry Christmas to you too.

I was just wondering, um, if you had

an Oliver The Onion in stock.

W-would it help if I told you

that I was a New York City police officer?

'No, but you, what you don't
understand is I need this toy.'

'Can you just check? Maybe
one fell behind the counter?'

Or I don't know, you have
an extra one in the stockroom?

Of course, I know how
damn close it is to Christmas.

- Hey. - Yes.

I heard, look, alright. I'm very sorry.

I didn't mean to get an
attitude but you have no idea

what I've been through
trying to get this toy.

- Monroe. - Bosco.

I'm not in the mood right now.

- Okay? - Look.

Oh, Bosco. I think I love you.

- What do you want me to write?
- No, I got it here.

You start collecting names and pedigrees.

You didn't bring me coffee?

No, we find out which

of the other victims is
that little girl's parent?

I haven't talked to her.
Ginny had her chart.

- Is she around?
- She went to the party already.

- Christmas party's tonight?
- I let her go.

I have 16 patients in here,
11 more charts to write

'and it started 28 minutes ago.'

Is it too much to ask
that I just once get to see

someone open up my Secret Santa gift? Hmm?

I guess I'm talking to the little girl.

'But your sign says that
you have them in stock.'

'We did, until about ten minutes ago.'

'Oh, come on, I cannot
possibly be that unlucky.'

We have some other
very nice stuffed animals.

No, no, an onion is not an animal.

'I'm really sorry.'

You have a bathroom I can use?

Through the green curtain in the back.

'Well, did you check the stockroom?'

'Please, just one. One!'

Hey, Santa, you know where the bathroom is?

Just to the right of the curtains.

Thanks.

- Hey! - To the right of the curtain.

Turn around.

You son of a bitch!

- I didn't do anything.
- Oh, you son of a bitch!

- I didn't do anything.
- Hands behind your back.

Oh, looks like you're feeling better.

- You carried me out. - Excuse me?

You carried me out of the building, right?

Yeah, but... you were awake?

I remember you.

Really? You seem pretty out of it.

You know what gelatin's made out of?

Sorry.

Scraping from the inside of cow hides.

- Is that true? - Yuck!

- What's your name? - Sullivan.

- John Sullivan. - I'm Audrey.

Ah! Nice to meet you, Audrey.

Do you have kids?

- No. - Why?

- Why? - Are you married?

Hey, why don't we talk about you?

Okay.

Which of the people we pulled out

of the building is your parent?

None of them.

My mom and dad both
died. They were drug addicts.

That's how come we're homeless.

- So you're all alone? - I wasn't alone.

But you have no family.

I have Big Bill, Roger Shakes, Mr. Sam.

Oh, you mean the bums?

- Homeless. - Right, sorry.

Homeless.

Come on, I didn't do anything, huh?

- Shut up. - 'I can order one for you.'

-'And have it by January 10th.'

- 'January 10th?'
- 'The earliest I can get it.'

What am I supposed to tell my
nephew? That Santa's backed up?

- Tell him he got locked up.
- What's up, Bosco?

What, what are you doing?

Did you do a background check
before hiring Santa Claus here?

- Background? - Yeah, this is Martin Dugan.

He's a convicted child molester.

Oh, my God!

'How many kids has he
had on his lap in here?'

It's just a job.

He's not supposed to be
within 100 feet of a child.

- I didn't do anything. - Shut up.

Doc, what's-what's bugging you, man?

- Nothin'. - Nothin'?

You kinda snapped at me at the hospital.

So?

Oh, you know what?

You're not my supervisor,
Acting Lieutenant Doherty.

- No, Kim is. - 'Oh, so what's this?'

You-you defending your squeeze?

- Squeeze? - Yeah, yeah.

You're doing her again, right?

I mean, she's the flavor of the month.

Oh, is this supposed to be a secret?

Like we haven't seen you
guys all over each other?

She's not the flavor of the month.

Okay, alright, it's serious, guys.

True love, I mean, who gives a damn?

You know, I think you
need to change the tone

of your voice, or there's
gonna be a reprimand

waiting for you at the end of this.

Again, who gives a damn?

Okay.

Hey, Nieto, there was a message from a guy

who says he thinks he's your brother.

With what my mother cost
me, I can't afford a brother.

- Is it straight? - 'Yeah.'

But we need one more
in that open space there.

Where?

Right there, it's really empty.

'Alright.'

Mmm.

- I remember giving this.
- Yeah, baby's first Christmas.

Did we go to, like, 20 stores to find this?

Yeah, I would have gone to 40 if we had to.

You know, I didn't tell
you this but I thought

'it was pretty stupid at the time.'

You think you had to tell me.
You were whining the whole day.

Wow, eight years!

Time just flows by so fast.

Yeah, pretty soon he won't
believe in Santa anymore..

If he even still does.

I hope he does.

You know how bummed I was when I found out.

Kind of like when my real childhood ended.

Well, I'm glad we got it.

I told you you would be.

Eight years.

Well, Christmas has
always been good for us.

- Yeah, always. - Yeah.

You wanna come over
tonight and be Santa with me?

I'd love it.

Me too.

Great, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

This is not a Charlie Brown tree.

Right, it's, uh, massive.

- Very festive.
- I got it at the supermarket.

- It was the biggest one.
- "Deck The Halls."

I didn't see you running
out to get decorations.

And you won't.

You know what, I get that I
hate Christmas crap everyday

from Sully at work. I
don't need it from you too.

- Crap. - All day, everyday.

Thanksgiving to New Year.

You know what this time of
year is for someone like Sullivan?

It's a constant reminder he's
got no one to spend it with.

I mean, every beer
commercial, every street corner

every twinkling light is
like a nail in his chest.

I'd say that's a tad bit melodramatic.

Really? You're gonna
go to his place this year

instead of spending Christmas
Eve with your mom so you can

open up presents with all your
nephews tomorrow morning?

- No. - Right.

And he's gonna go to
bed alone, wake up alone.

I mean, what the hell is
there to make him feel that

tomorrow is gonna be
any different than today?

- 'Any coffee?' - Yeah.

I think we outdid
ourselves this year, gang.

Toy store's a madhouse.

- What's up, lieu?
- You better not be late, Davis.

Oh, no, sir. That's a nice tree.

- Ho ho ho. - Ah!

Hey, Monroe, you find the Onion?

Don't start, Bosco.

You're talking about Oliver The Onion?

- Oh, you've heard of it? - Oh, yeah.

I got three sisters with four kids.

You had better believe
Uncle Ty's heard of the Onion.

Wait a minute. You found one?

Well, I got four of 'em
online like two months ago.

Oh, wait a minute. You've
gotta let me buy one from you.

What am I supposed to do? Have
one of my nephews hating me?

No, no, just let-let
'em share. They're kids.

'These are Christmas
toys. They don't share.'

'I'm just asking you for one.'

- 'I'm just saying no.'
- 'Come on, man. Please.'

Oh, that's cute, but I don't
think they're gonna let you

wear that out on the street, Sul.

- What? - The hat.

It's not an approved uniform item.

- Don't you ever shut up, Bosco? - Nope.

The one from the fire.

Yeah, it was with the little girl.

Must have forgotten to give it back to her.

I'll call Children's Services,
find out where they took her.

Good. Good. How are you doing?

- Me? - Yeah, you alright?

Why wouldn't I be?

It's Christmas Eve. You hate Christmas.

You know what I hate more?

People asking you how you doing?

Bingo.

- Coffee? - 'No, thanks.'

- How's Kylie? - Sick.

- Yeah, any changes? - No.

- Sarah got a kid. - What?

Morales, she, uh, sent me a Christmas card

with a picture of her kid in it.

Oh, yeah, he's cute.

Five months old.

Wait a minute, Doc. This, this isn't your..

Oh, don't be stupid. I
ain't seen her in two years.

- How's that work? - Right. Sorry.

Can you imagine me with a kid?

I think you'd make a great father.

Oh, yeah. Like I need that hassle.

Well, it's kinda nice to know
that someone in the world

is a part of you, you know.

No, thanks.

Why did she send it to you?

Uh, probably just, uh, sent it
to everyone on her card list.

You get cards from your ex-girlfriends?

Squad 5-5.

Carlos Nieto.

Oh, he's not here right now.

'Oh, is that right? Oh, yeah.'

Oh, no, no. I'll be sure
to give him the message.

Sounds like that guy from last night.

Said he might be your brother.

Ready to hit the street?

Yeah.

'And who do I see there?'

Right. Thanks.

Children's Services, they dropped her

on the emergency shelter
on Second last night.

Mind if we swing by
there and give her the hat.

Of course not.

Hey, what are you doing for the holiday?

- Doing? - You got plans?

No.

- Officer Monroe? - Oh, hey.

You know you didn't have to come down here.

We already processed that guy.

Ha, wait until you see what I have for you.

'Your very own Oliver The Onion.'

Oh, my God!

I called in a lot of favors for that.

Thank you so much. That was so sweet.

'Oh, it's the least I
could do for you officers.'

If that man had hurt a child in my store

I never could have lived with myself.

How much do I owe you for this?

Oh, no, no, no. It's a, it's a gift.

Oh, no, please. Um, let me pay.

Absolutely not. That's final.

I'm sorry, um..

- I-I can't take this. - Why?

I'm sorry. It's-it's
against our regulations.

Well, I'm not taking it back.

Seems so unfair.

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm
the one that caught the guy.

You want your Santa suit
back? It's in the evidence locker.

It's not mine. He already had it.

It's one of the reasons I hired him.

A child molester with
his own Santa Claus suit?

If that doesn't say
Christmas, what does, huh?

Audrey Weathers.

- Came in 5 a.m. - Sounds about right.

Why don't we check in here first?

'...all the whiskers on his chin'

and sat back down on the side again..

Has anyone seen Audrey Weathers?

The older girl that came in this morning.

- She went to her room. - Thank you.

- That Christmas ride.
- 'Now, Santa, you just..'

- Davis? - Yeah.

'I've already sent for the doctor. '

'He'll have you back on your feet.'

I liked that one.

- Sorry. - It's alright.

This way, gentlemen.

No Christmas decorations, huh?

We're a state facility.
Can't favor a religion.

- Oh, yeah. - We used to decorate.

- But there was a lawsuit.
- Ha! Of course, there was.

Audrey's room is right here.

Audrey?

Audrey?

You have visitors..

Oh, no.

She's gone.

- 'Calming?' - Hmm, here you are.

My favorite. No, thank you.

- One of these. - Excuse me?

- Is Carlos Nieto here?
- Oh, he's out on the street.

Well, I'm sorry to barge
in here like this but..

He hasn't returned my phone calls

and I can't really be here
in New York that long.

- What do you want? - Well, I think I'm..

Uh, he might be, uh..

My brother.

You really surprised me
throwing the toy in the bin like that.

Yeah, I surprised myself.

You think you would have
done it if Swersky wasn't lookin'?

- I don't know. - 'At least you're honest.'

So the kid doesn't get
the Onion. It's not that bad.

No, Bosco, you don't
understand the pressure

of having to have the
right toy, the right clothes...

Oh, come on, I've watched
Yokas go through this

every year for the past ten years.

I thought Talking Elmo was gonna kill her.

The whole thing is ridiculous. It is.

No, you're right, but..

Christmas is supposed
to be about loving each other

and spending time with each other

'and you should be happy
with whatever you get.'

But, I don't know, Santa Claus is supposed

to be able to do anything.

I just don't wanna disappoint him.

Why don't you just tell the kid
that Christmas isn't about toys?

Yeah, like that's gonna fly in pre-school.

What are you doing for Christmas anyway?

I go to my mother's. She cooks, I eat 'em.

I'm home by 4:30 tops. - That's it?

I used to stop by Faith's place.
Have a drink with her and Fred.

You know, play with
whatever toys Charlie got.

They still out of town?

I think so. I don't know.

I've never really heard. I
don't know how I would hear?

- So you wanna go by there? - No.

Well, you know, you can
always come by my house.

'I'm bakin' a turkey, you know.'

- Are you being nice to me?
- I don't know, but just..

I don't know what just happened,
I'm sorry, this whole holiday

thing must be like, hitting me in my head.

Good, 'cause you started
giving me the creeps there.

Trust me, it won't happen again.

It's amazing.

- You do kinda look like him. - Mm-hmm.

- Kinda. - How did you hear about this?

I was flipping through the
cable news channel one night.

Saw the story about his daughter.

- In Hawaii? - We do have cable there.

No, I know. It's just, wow.

- So you're a lawyer? - Chief prosecutor.

Six thousand miles away, and
you saw a story about Carlos.

It's actually kind of weird
to hear him called that.

- What do you call him?
- Well, if it's him..

His name used to be Adam.

- Really? - Adam?

- It's not very Hawaiian.
- Uh, you're right.

So, uh, what's he like?

Uh, Carlos, well, he's, um..

Uh..

He's, um, he's a good guy.

- Yeah. - Yeah, he's a good guy.

Aces.

Yeah, I pictured him to be cool.

Someone I could hang out with.

- So, he's on his way in? - Oh, yeah.

He's-he's just wrapping up an assignment.

Man, it's gotta suck to spend
Christmas in the hospital, huh?

Better than the morgue.

My, you've developed this
knack for stating the obvious.

- Carlos. - Yeah.

- Doherty called here for you. - Doherty?

If he calls back, tell
him he ain't no boss.

He said he wanted you to get
to the house as soon as possible.

Yeah, we heard the
three calls on the radio.

- He said it was important. - Oh, oh, well.

If the lieutenant said it's important

we should just drop all these
useless medical treatment

we're performing out
here and rush right in.

If he calls back again, you
tell him we said to kiss our ass.

Yeah, I'm really liking the new you.

Hey, you don't really have
to say that we said that.

I don't know where else to look for her.

It was a guess she'd come back here.

She'll turn up somewhere.

- It's getting colder. - Yeah.

It's supposed to snow tonight.
It's gonna be a white Christmas.

Some might be happy about that.

At least until it all turns to
slush and they have to wade

through it to return all
the lousy gifts they got.

You know, I was thinking maybe
I'd stop by your place tomorrow.

Take you out for breakfast or somethin'?

What? You're not doing Christmas
tomorrow with your nephews?

- I don't have to. I can..
- Have your Christmas, Davis.

- Don't worry about me.
- I'm not worried about you.

You know what would make me happy?

Knowing that little girl's
in a warm bed tonight

before it starts snowing.

We make that happen, I'll sing a carol.

You know a carol?

You guys looking for Audrey, right?

- You know where she is? - Yeah.

The streets aren't the
place for a little girl like that.

Little? Sometimes I think
that lady is older than me.

You gonna tell me where
she is, or I'm gonna run you in

for vagrancy and hold you till you talk?

I didn't come here to fight with you guys.

- Is she hiding?
- Audrey don't hide from nobody.

Can I get a little help here?

Yeah, I got it.

- Where have you been?
- Getting the decorations.

- The decorations? - It's Christmas.

I gotta go now, Shakes. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, honey.

Don't forget to eat tonight.

Midnight at the Catholics on Arthur.

'Yes, ma'am.'

Come on, we don't have much time.

- You called? - They took it all.

- They took what? - Everything.

- Every present. - What happened, sir?

When we got home, they had
pried the basement window open

and they took it all.
They took all the presents.

I mean, what kind of person does that?

My kids. I have five kids.

Sometimes, if you have
homeowners' insurance

they'll cover the burglary.

But Christmas is tomorrow.

How are they gonna have anything to open?

I mean, I spent my whole check.

This is our missing from the shelter.

Can you call Children's Services for me?

- You got it. - I wasn't missing, you know.

- To us, you were. - I had something to do.

Audrey, you're 12 years old.

You don't get to run around
and do whatever you want to. Sit.

Twelve year olds used to
ride for the Pony Express.

- What? - Look it up.

Average life expectancy
was about 25 back then.

We take care of kids
today. You want coffee?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

No.

Roger Shakes needs to be taken care of.

If you don't remind him,
he completely forgets to eat.

But I bet he never
forgets to drink, does he?

Why did we have to come here?

Couldn't you just take me
right back to the shelter?

Oh, what? Now you wanna go back there?

That's why I got the decorations.

- For the shelter? - They don't have any.

Can we go now?

You know, we got procedures here, okay?

This little stunt you pulled
today causes a lot of paperwork.

So do you know exactly what's missing?

All the presents. All of them.

No, I mean, specifically.

I can't remember all of it.

I mean, I have a receipt if you need them.

Detectives will need
them if there's an arrest.

Will there be an-an arrest?

What am I gonna say to them?

I have nothing.

Nothing to give them in the morning.

I'm finished. Here, you
can call this number, alright?

They'll, uh, they'll give
you a complaint number

in the morning for your insurance.

That's it?

I'm sorry, sir.

Thank you, thank you, officer.

I wish there was more we could do.

If you're thinking about
mentioning the irony

don't even bother.

Well, even if he had the dough

where he's gonna find Christmas presents

at 9:30 on Christmas Eve?

I'll never complain again.

Wait a minute, too bad
there isn't a toy store guy

who wants to help us out.

You think?

He seemed like he wanted to do us a favor.

- Yeah, he did. - How much money you got?

Maybe I should just leave him alone.

No, he'll be here. He's on his way.

Maybe he doesn't wanna see me.

- No, he's just busy.
- But none of you are?

Well, I mean..

They're here.

It's them.

'Just tired of talking about that.'

I heard you the first five times. I just..

You can't stop right at the
top of the stairs, Doc, you know.

Oh, my God.

You know my father took
away my baby brother..

Because of a bad divorce-custody thing.

We've been lookin' for them... ever since.

Look, I, look, I don't know..

- What? - No.

Adam..

- Hey... - Just..

My brother's name is Adam.

I wasn't lookin' for any-any brother.

I was only, uh, just trying to help Kylie.

I know. I already went to the hospital.

I got the test done yesterday. I'm a match.

I can donate.

That's what I wanted to tell you.

You can donate?

You've been lookin' for me.

Yeah, for 25 years.

Baby brother.

Jerry!

Oh, no.

I don't have another one.

- Another one? - Yeah, Oliver The Onion.

No, that's not why we're here.

We just handled a burglary,
and a family's Christmas gifts

for the kids were, they were all stolen.

Oh, that's terrible.

Yeah, we have about,
um, like $92 between us

and we wanted to know if we could come in

and-and pick up a couple of things.

Oh, yes, please, please. My..

Be our guests and you won't have
to worry about any money either.

I will wrap anything you want.

Just whatever you pick
out, we'll wrap for ya.

Thanks.

- Now, how many kids are there? - Five.

- Boys, girls?
- 'Oh, we don't really know.'

Well, that's alright. I know about..

My partner's on the phone with
Children's Services right now.

You shouldn't have to be here much longer.

Oh!

I almost forgot.

You lost this at the fire last night.

- That's not mine.
- What are you talking about?

It was all wrapped up with you.

Like a present?

Yeah, sort of.

It's yours then. You opened it.

You don't want the hat?

Why don't you like it?

- What, the hat? - Christmas.

I don't know. It's just not my thing.

- It's everyone's thing. - Not everyone.

Your problem is you
forgot. All grown-ups forget.

Forget what?

Do you remember when
you believed in Santa Claus?

How Christmas Eve was the best ever?

A man you didn't know is
coming thousands of miles

to give you a toy.

- It's not real though. - It is to kids.

And if everyone could always
remember what that feels like..

It's not that easy sometimes.

Let's make a deal.

'Ssh.'

'You, shh.'

Okay, should we ring the doorbell?

- Just go and start the car. - Come on...

- Shh, shh. - Okay, you shh.

Now that was a perfect
way to end Christmas Eve.

'Not too bad.'

You know you really are a big softie.

Keep that to yourself, officer.

Like anyone would believe it.

You wanna go have a drink?

Uh, maybe next time. I
have somewhere to be.

- On Christmas Eve? - Every Christmas Eve.

You must have a hot date.

- Bosco! - Yeah.

It's an Onion. Look.

- This is great. - No kidding.

And wait a minute, there's a card.

"Merry Christmas,
Sasha. Love, Santa Claus."

Wow! And I stopped believing.

It's my Onion, Bosco. I can't believe it.

Just wait a minute. Did you
have something to do with this?

When have I not been with you?

Bosco, I got my Onion.

This is my Onion. I'm so excited. Wooh!

Want me to go check that out?

No, sarge, don't worry about it.

- Merry Christmas, lieu.
- Merry Christmas to you.

If you tell anybody
about this, I'll kill you.

Tell anybody about what?
