Third Watch (1999–2005): Season 6, Episode 14 - The Kitchen Sink - full transcript
Finney gets a call from a kid who thinks his father is going to hurt his mother.
Previously on "Third Watch."
- You know who Cathal Finney is? - Yes.
- He's Brendan's father.
- He killed my dad.
They're saying you
had Davis' father killed.
Is it true?
I promise you one thing, son..
I'll never spend a day in jail.
Dad!
You son of a bitch!
Don't do this!
I bet my father would've liked you.
You know, the truth is I don't know
if he would've liked you or not
'cause I didn't really know him.
If you don't want me back,
fine. I'm making this easy for you.
It's over. We're finished. Through.
It's not about saying the
word. It's about actions.
She left me a note on the door.
What does it say?
That I was right and that she's going home.
This is Ben. He fell off of
the jungle gym, hurt his arm.
- Let me see that. - It hurts.
Well, we'll fix it up.
I want my mommy.
I left two messages with his parents.
He'll need X-rays, you better
tell her to meet us at Mercy.
How about I ride with you? You like that?
If something happens to me
again, will you come get me?
Why, you plan to fall off
the monkey bars again?
No. But if I do?
Tell you what. I'll give
you my phone number.
If you ever need anything, you call me.
'A look at the weather.'
'Our high today expected to be 40 degrees'
'after an overnight low
of a chilly 11 degrees.'
'The temperature right now 34'
'barometric pressure at 29.85 and falling.'
'Relative humidity at 92%.'
'The wind is from the
east with gusts today'
'up to 35 miles an hour,
so hold onto your hat.'
'Once again, light snowfall'
'mixed with sleet and
rain throughout today'
'and tomorrow with a chance..'
Come closer and I'll shoot you.
'You hear me? I swear, I'll shoot.'
You have an out-of-state warrant
for your arrest. You are surrounded.
'Let's not make this thing
worse than it already is for you.'
I'm not sure how you guys do it in Philly
but that's his last warning.
In about a minute, ESU is going in.
That yo killed a cop, we wouldn't
have given him that warning.
What the hell is he
doing back here so soon?
I don't know. I guess he wanted to be here.
'Is he all here, though?'
What, you're worried about him?
Hey.
'Brendan, you alright?'
I'm fine.
Sorry about your father.
Yeah. I'm sure you are.
I didn't mean for it to end up this way.
Look, I don't need your pity, alright?
- Where are you going? - Somewhere quieter.
You can't keep ignoring me like this.
I've called you.
The way cops keep running away from you
it's like you should be
up there with that guy.
Get down!
ESU, if you have the shot, take it.
'EMS, stand by.'
Doesn't it seem wrong to be just waiting
for someone to get hurt?
Isn't that what we always do?
Yeah. I mean someone in particular.
How about you don't
go all boo-hoo for once?
I hear this guy killed
a cop in Philadelphia.
What if one of the cops gets
hurt? Can I boo-hoo then?
Do whatever the hell you want to do, Grace.
You know, it's not my fault
your girlfriend ran away.
We all have problems, Carlos.
- You've got problems?
- I just leave them at home.
Damn!
Guy's crazy!
'Let's go! Move in! Watch your weapons!'
Hey!
- What, you're just gonna leave?
- It's over.
It's not over until we're released.
'Suspect is in custody with a GSW.'
'Send that EMS team in, Central.'
You happy?
Hey, what's going on with you?
Maybe I don't want to
be around all these cops.
Maybe you should get another job.
Hello?
'Brendan.'
Who's this?
'He's hurting her.'
Who the hell is this?
'It's Ben, from the hospital.'
'You said you'd help me.'
- Ben? - 'Yeah.'
'From the playground. Remember?'
Oh, hey, what-what's going on, buddy?
He's hurting her.
'Who?'
My mom.
Please... Harris..
- Just tell me where he is. - 'Harris..'
He's my son too!
'What are you talking
about, Ben? Hurting who?'
Stop!
Stop.
'Ben, you got to talk to me, buddy.'
Ben, what's going on?
'I think I have to be quiet now.'
Ben, are you there?
Hey, who the hell are you talking to?
That kid we picked up in the park.
Remember Ben? He had a sprained arm.
He's saying his mom's been stabbed.
Ben, talk to me, buddy.
- Where are we going? - Uptown.
It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
She made me do it.
Oh, God!
Oh, God!
Ben, if you can, I want
you to get out of there.
He's so close.
'Ben?'
- Benny? - 'Can you get out of there?'
'Ben, you got to talk to me, buddy.'
Benny?
'Ben?'
Come on, answer me.
Benny?
Ben?
- 'Ben?' - 'Ben, who is that?'
'Benny?'
Hi, Benny.
Ben?
- The phone died. - Okay, where am I going?
Towards Marcus Garvey
Park where we found him.
Yeah, Emma. This is Officer Finney.
Last week we brought in
a kid named Ben Reynolds.
He fell off the monkey bars.
Right, the sprained arm.
Yeah, I need his address.
- Just call him back.
- His number's restricted.
Uh-huh.
Alright. Thanks a lot, Emma.
135, Lexington.
What if this kid's playing a joke, man?
I hope for his sake he is.
Why are you hiding from daddy?
'You hurt mommy.'
I wouldn't do that.
Guess what?
We're finally gonna have a home together.
What about mommy?
Mommy said it's okay.
She's hurt!
I said I wouldn't hurt mommy.
- But the blood! You have... - Oh, baby.
Did you wet yourself?
'Come on.'
I'll get you something to change into.
Let's go!
- Put these on. - I don't want to.
Well, you can't go around wet like that.
We have a big day ahead of us.
Mommy gave me that for an emergency.
There's never an emergency
when daddy's here.
Here.
Everything is gonna be fine.
See how good you look?
Come on.
- What's the number? - 407.
- I don't want to go. - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Mommy!
Leave mommy alone. She's resting.
We need to call someone to help her!
- We gotta go! - Mom! Mom! Mom!
Move! Come on, move!
Let's take the stairs.
No, no. Whoa, whoa.
- Mom! Help! - Shh.
Benny, it's okay.
- I don't want to! - Okay. Shh. Shh.
Open up. It's the police.
- Open up! - Let's get the super.
Or that.
'Davis.'
- Go. - Police!
Right here.
- Ma'am. - She's alive.
Go check the back. Watch your step.
'Ma'am, can you hear me?'
Ben!
Ben!
'This is 5-5 David to Central.'
'I need a bus forthwith at
135 Lexington, apartment 407.'
We have a female stabbed.
I can't find the kid and there's
blood everywhere back there.
'Hold still, ma'am.'
Hold still, please, ma'am.
I-I-I'm sorry for scaring you, Benny.
But she left me no choice at all.
This is the only way.
This is the only way.
Where's your son, Mrs. Reynolds?
- She was stabbed, Carlos.
- We got it. We got it.
Here, grab the board.
'Okay, we got penetrating
trauma to her back.'
'Two entry wounds. Foamy bubbles.'
We got a punctured lung involved.
- Where's your son? - Scoop and run.
Get her vitals on the bus.
- Where's your son?
- She can't hear you right now.
And if she dies, she'll
never be able to tell you.
- Get me that board. - Let's go!
Thirty five-year-old female.
Stab wounds times two to the mid-back.
Let's get her to Trauma One.
Good airway, but she has an
apparent right punctured lung.
- Hypotensive.
- BP's 60 palp, tachy at 118.
- Resps 24. - Page Surgery.
Set up a central line and
load O-neg on the rapid infuser.
Got her. One, two, three.
- What? What is it?
- I need you to move back.
- Husband. - 'Your husband?'
- Your husband did this?
- Move out of my way!
- Your husband?
- I said move out of my way!
- I need this information. - Move!
So she told you that the husband did this?
- I think so. I'm not sure.
- She did or she didn't?
Well, she said husband, but I don't know
if she just wanted him
notified or if he did it.
- How do you know the kid?
- Brought him here last week.
Why?
He fell off the monkey
bars in Marcus Garvey Park.
- And you gave him your card? - Yeah.
- Why? What for? - What do you mean?
I mean, did you think that his injuries
were more than just a playground accident?
No.
So you just gave him
your card for the hell of it?
Look, he was scared.
It made him feel better.
The doctor checked him out, if
he'd have found anything else
wrong with him, he would have reported it.
But if you thought there
was something wrong
you should have reported it.
And I would have.
Look, this isn't gonna
find the kid right now.
Next time I'm working on a patient
stay out of my way, okay?
I was trying to get information
about a missing kid, alright?
And I was trying to keep that woman alive.
- How is she doing? - She's stabilized.
- We need to talk to her.
- She's not conscious.
She's being prepped for surgery.
Well, when will she be able to talk to us?
Sorry. I have no idea.
Alright, look, I'm gonna
head back to the scene
and see how the canvass is goin'.
I'll talk to the neighbors.
Maybe they can tell us who the husband is.
Excuse me. Uh, yeah.
My building manager told
me my wife was brought in here
uh, in an ambulance.
- What's her name?
- Evelyn. Uh, Evelyn Reynolds.
Excuse me, sir? I'm Detective Yokas.
Are you Ben's father?
Yeah. I-I recently
adopted him. Where is he?
Well, we were hoping
that you could tell us.
I... well, why.. What's going on?
Where were you this afternoon?
At my office. What's happened?
Your wife was stabbed.
Oh, my god!
Oh. Oh, that son of a bitch!
That son of a bitch Harris did this!
- Who's Harris? - Crazy ex-husband!
We-we have a restraining order against him.
Did he take Ben?
- Someone did.
- I knew this was gonna happen.
I told her. I told her he was crazy.
You have any idea where Harris could be?
He-he-he has a sister.
She lives up on 152nd.
I, uh, I have her on my PDA.
That's where we sent all the legal papers.
Nobody ever showed up in court.
What is this place?
I wanted to show you where I work.
Mommy said you don't have a job anymore.
Your mommy lies to
you. She lies all the time.
This doesn't look open.
Wait till you see how
cool it looks on the inside.
- We should go check on mommy.
- Mommy's fine.
- She needs a doctor. - This stupid door!
The lock on this thing's always stuck.
I told maintenance
about it, but they're lazy.
We shouldn't go in there.
I told you. This is where I work, Ben.
You're with me.
Yokas is right.
When Ben asked me if he could call me
I should have known something was up.
That's easy to say in hindsight.
Yeah. Too worried about my old
man and this kid's reaching out.
Alright. You guys want to take
the back in case he's inside?
Alright.
- 'Who is it?' - NYPD. Detective Yokas.
I'm looking for a Harris Perry.
He's not in.
- Are you his sister? - Yeah.
You know where he is?
I don't know.
You mind if I come in
and take a look around?
No, I told you, he's not here.
Or I can come back with a search warrant.
We can tear your place
apart. It's up to you.
Sure.
When was the last time
you saw your brother?
What did he do, kite more checks?
When?
- It's been a while. - What's a while?
'You know, I'm not responsible
for anything he stole.'
Where does he work, ma'am?
He hasn't worked since his
company went out of business.
- Is this him? - 'Yeah.'
'That was his printing press.'
'You know, how many times I told him'
I mean, who needs a printer
anymore with computers?
How much did he steal this time?
Your brother may have kidnapped his son.
And stabbed his ex-wife.
Evelyn?
My brother would never do that.
Well, then we should be able
to wrap this up pretty quickly.
Yeah, he's sick, but he-he
would never hurt anyone.
What do you mean sick?
He's on medication.
Yeah, but he's-he's under control.
- Does he have a car?
- He would never hurt Ben.
Does he have a car?
I gave him my car this morning.
Alright, what's the license number?
He wouldn't hurt Ben, I know he wouldn't.
'Well, let's hope you're right.'
Alright, that'd be great.
Thanks.
They're gonna put an
AMBER alert out for the Chevy.
What do we do?
Just sit and wait.
That's it?
There's nothing we can do.
Come on. There has to be something.
Like what?
We could show Ben's picture around.
- To who, Brendan?
- Or look for that Chevy.
Ah, it's a needle in a haystack.
'He called me, Davis.'
He asked me to help
him, I'm not just going back
in service and wait.
Sit.
Come on.
I got your favorite ones.
It's cold.
The world is cold.
Why did you hurt her?
You know, this is where we met.
She was bleeding. We
shouldn't have left her.
I was working on my press.
She started in the office.
Oh, God, she was so pretty.
'She had on a..'
yellow sweater.
When I saw her..
I just knew.
Remember that, Benny.
When you see the one..
The girl you know..
You are supposed to be with..
F-forever.
You know it.
We, uh, we used to..
After work, go out to the car, and..
Laugh and..
Sing.
Does she still sing, Benny?
She's hurt, dad.
I bet she doesn't.
They got an AMBER alert out statewide.
They ought to do it in Jersey too.
- We already did it. - Look at you.
Just like the real police, huh?
Harris Perry, these belong to our bad guy.
What is it?
- Nefazodone. - Never heard of that.
- What's it for? - I don't know.
Let's find out.
You're not gonna eat anything?
I'm not hungry.
I bet you are.
For... one of these.
I got 'em for you, as a surprise.
Here.
Just the way you like 'em.
Can we go some place else?
Later, we'll play games.
I wanna go.
I'm sorry, Ben.
We're stayin' here.
Ben!
Ben!
Ben!
Come on, now.
I don't like this.
Don't-don't make me mad.
Now is not the time to play... the games.
Ben.
Ben.
'Ben?'
'Ben?'
Ben?
'Ben?'
'Ben?'
Ben?
You're pissing me off!
Ben?
'Ben!'
Ben!
Ben!
Where would this guy be?
He's probably pretty desperate.
My guess would be,
hit the road, kept going.
Son of a bitch!
If this guy really loves his son
maybe he won't hurt him.
You didn't hear Ben.
He was so afraid, Davis.
Ben?
'Brendan.'
Where are you, buddy?
He's gonna kill me.
Are you with your father?
Yes. Please.
Yeah, this is 5-5 Davis, we need
a trace on a cellphone number.
It's 555..
- 0122. - 0122.
Where's he now?
'I don't know.'
'It's dark.'
It's an old closed up building.
Hurry.
What do you mean it's gonna take an hour?
No, we need it right now.
Do you know what street you're on?
- 'No.' - Thank you.
What do you see in the room, Ben?
There are colors on the walls.
- What kind of colors? - 'Just colors.'
Is there, uh, is there
anyone else in the room?
No, we broke a door.
It's an old building. Hurry.
Is there, uh, any kind of
eq-equipment in the room, any..
There's something, it says A-B-D-I.
I can't read the rest.
'Ben?'
- Ben. - He's coming.
'Ben, is that you?'
Ben?
They're, they're in some kind of
an abandoned building somewhere.
There's equipment that says Abdi something.
Abdi?
A-B-D-I. A-B-D-I.
Yeah, Yokas, we got him
back on the phone again.
'Ben? Ben?'
Who-who the hell is this?
Is this Harris?
Who are you?
Brendan, a friend of your son's.
Hold on, Faith. Finney's
got the dad on the phone.
Alright, don't let Finney hang up.
Hey, they're on the phone with him now.
Have you ever heard of a
machine called Abdi something?
Sounds like a workout thing.
I just wanna make sure Ben's safe.
He's fine. He's with his father.
Where are you guys?
'That's none of your business.'
'5-5 David, we have a report..'
- What is that, a radio? - Look, Harris.
Your ex-wife is gonna be alright.
- 'She's my wife.'
- Alright, alright. Okay.
But you need to come in now
and let us make sure that Ben is alright.
What-what are you, social
services or something?
You still want to take him from me?
No, I'm a cop, and I just
wanna make sure Ben's safe.
- You're a cop? - 'Listen..'
- You called the police on me?
- He's my friend.
Harris, talk to me.
You can never keep us
apart. Do you hear me?
Never.
Harris? Harris?
- Why did you call the police?
- That hurts.
- What did you tell them?
- I only wanted him to help mom.
There's no companies in Manhattan
that start with A-B-D-I.
Zip in Brooklyn.
Hey, Gordon, you guys have
a Queens, uh, phonebook?
We don't have one up here.
Yeah, thanks.
Not a lot of abandoned
factories on Staten Island.
I don't know how much time we have.
I mean, those meds were
for some serious psychotics
and he's not on them.
This is all we got on the
pedigrees for the canvas.
Lot of nobody homes.
Desk said you needed this.
What, did you finally eat up
all the pizza in Manhattan?
- Ha-ha. - We got a call from Finney.
He talked to that kid again.
They're in some abandoned warehouse.
He's talking about some
machine with a A-B-D-I on it.
How about AB Dick?
- What do you mean?
- They make printing presses.
I worked for a printer in high school.
The sister.
'She said that he hasn't worked'
since his company went out of business.
The printing company.
You ruined it! We were gonna be happy.
- No, I didn't. - Yes, you did!
- This is all your fault!
- That's not true.
If you would've just trusted me
you wouldn't have hid under that sink
and I wouldn't have had to hurt your mommy.
This is your fault!
Well, we're not too
far. We'll see you there.
He used to work for
Hansen Brothers Printing
at 138 Front Street.
It's shut down now. Let's go.
Help me clean this up!
You're hurting me.
Do you know how mad
my bosses are gonna be
when they see this mess?
Ow.
Help me.
Alright.
I swear to God, Ben..
If you run away again..
'...I'm gonna go to your mother's house'
and I'm gonna cut her throat
and her bastard husband, too.
Alright, Yokas, we got a green Chevy here.
'We're two minutes away.
We have backup units with us.'
'Don't go in until we get there.'
Alright.
- She wants us to wait. - Yeah, no way.
Finney!
Police!
Harris, it's the police.
You check it out over there.
Harris!
Harris!
We just want to make sure Ben's okay, man.
You check behind those crates over there?
- Yeah. - Alright. This is all clear.
Let's go check the basement.
Come on, Harris. Hurting
Ben's not the answer.
Let's go.
We know you love your son, Harris.
That's why you did what you did.
'Brendan!'
Ben!
It's 5-5 David to Central.
We're in pursuit of a green Chevy
'in regard to the AMBER Alert.'
'5-5 David to Central, we're in pursuit
'of that green Chevy
headed south on Front.'
I thought they were supposed
to wait until we got there.
I guess not.
Watch it. Watch it.
How are we on your side, your side?
We're clear. We're clear. Go.
Oh, come on. Move!
No.
No, no, no!
No!
Come on. It's over. Let Ben out of the car.
He's my son!
Yeah, we can talk about
that when you let him go.
You leave us alone!
- Come on. Give us Ben.
- You get away from us!
'Listen, try to understand.'
You're off your medication right now, okay?
That's why everything seems so hopeless.
She took everything from me.
Everything.
'It's not my fault the plant closed.'
I tried to get another job, and I couldn't.
Does that mean I'm
supposed to lose everything?
My house, my wife.
My son.
You can still see your son, Harris.
You didn't lose him.
She let that son of a bitch adopt him.
He's his father now.
No, he's not.
Wh... wh-what?
You're my dad.
I messed everything up, Benny.
I'm sorry.
Go.
Don't!
'It's 5-5 David to Central.
We have the child. He's safe.'
'We need a bus on a rush to this location.'
The perp just cut his throat.
'Copy that, 5-5 Davis.'
We got a 30-year-old male
with a self-inflicted slash wound
across his throat. He crashed in the bus.
We got two liters of
saline on board, bolus.
Okay, get him into
Trauma One. Notify Surgery.
I need four units O-neg
on the rapid infuser.
I can't feel a pulse.
Alright, let's get him over on my count.
Ready? One, two, three.
He severed his left
carotid. I need some clamps.
'We got V-fib!'
Ben.
Daddy! Daddy!
- Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
- Get that kid out of here.
- Get that kid out of here. - Daddy!
- Charge to 200. - Daddy!
- Daddy! - Officer, please.
'He's holding on to the gurney. I can't..'
- Daddy! - 'Get him out of here.'
You got to let them work.
Clear!
Daddy!
Daddy! Daddy!
Everyone, clear!
Come on. Let's go see your mom.
Clear!
- My mom? - Yeah.
She's upstairs with her husband.
She's not dead?
No, buddy, she's gonna be alright.
Come on.
Poor kid.
I doubt his father's gonna make it.
- He's better off without him.
- Don't say that.
It's true.
- Stop it, alright? - Stop what?
You've been nasty all day.
What, you think this guy's candidate
for father of the year?
You know what I'm talking about.
- Why would she leave like that?
- I don't know, Carlos.
She said she loved me.
Then, I'm sure she does.
You don't just leave when you love someone.
Sometimes you do.
What does that mean?
I don't know. I don't know.
These things, relationships,
they're all complicated.
I have no idea how they work myself.
All I know for sure
is you have no idea
what she's really feeling
until you talk to her again.
Alright, and how am I
supposed to do that, Grace?
Be patient until she comes back.
And stop bitching at me.
I thought you were tough.
Give me blood and guts all day.
Love? Pass.
Oh, hey, buddy.
Hey, I know she looks
bad, but the doctor said
she's gonna be fine.
- For sure? - Yeah, for sure.
Excuse me, I was told her
husband was gonna be in here.
He had some paperwork to do at Admitting.
- He should be back soon. - Alright.
- Will you wait with me? - Oh, yeah.
You wanna go closer?
Can I?
I think she'd like that.
She'll know?
Yeah.
Moms always do.
Come on.
Why did he do that?
Well, sometimes people are sick.
And they can't always control what they do.
He was looking for me.
If I wasn't hiding
maybe she wouldn't have got hurt.
Look, I want you to know this.
What you did today was the
bravest thing I've ever seen.
You didn't do anything
wrong, you understand me?
Can I tell you something?
Yeah, anything.
I still love my daddy.
Of course you do.
We want 'em to be perfect, right?
But they're not.
They're just people.
Did yours ever do anything bad?
- What? - Your dad.
Yeah, he did.
And you still love him?
Yeah, I do.
Hey.
Good work today.
'Uh, Ty, I really need to talk to you.'
Goodnight.
It's important.
What, you're FBI now?
No. I'm not a detective anymore.
Swersky said I could ride with Sullivan
and get my shield the right way.
Well, if you took a demotion for me
that's a pay cut for nothing.
I did it out of respect for this.
Alright.
I know you're mad at me, but come on.
We gotta put this behind us.
We can't fix this.
Okay? You need to get
that through your head.
I appreciate what you did
taking down C.T. Finney.
Doesn't change things.
I miss you.
Well, you should've thought about that
before you stabbed me in the back.
I wasn't after you.
How'd he find out about that ticket, then?
Ty, come on.
You should've told me who you were, Sasha.
Yeah, but you wouldn't have stayed with me.
How do you know that? How do you know that?
You have no idea..
What I would've done for you.
But can we just, can we just go some place
and just have a conversation about it?
I'm done.
- I'm done talking to you. - Please.
You know, the way you
boo-hoo isn't always bad.
Is that right?
Yeah, the way you
always put the patient first
kind of reminds me of someone.
Who's that?
You didn't know him.
She'll come back, Carlos.
I hope so.
Hey.
You really hate love?
Goodnight.
Right.
Hey.
Hey, is Grace still around?
Yeah.
Good luck.
I've never been up here before.
Nothing special.
Uh, is-is everything alright?
Yeah.
I just, uh, I never said thank you
for your coming to my father's wake.
Yes, you did.
Oh.
Well, you know how we've..
Been playing this by ear.
Having a meal every so often, hanging out?
Yeah.
Well, what would you think about..
I don't know.
You know, making this
a little more permanent?
Permanent?
Look, I don't mean married or nothing.
Just, you know..
Kind of, kind of like..
You know, boyfriend and girlfriend?
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Hey, look, I know I got a lot
of things going on right now.
My family's messed up.
I don't know how my partner and I are.
But the one thing I know for sure is
I'm not gonna meet anybody like you again.
And I don't wanna mess this up.
'Kiss him, stupid!'
Go home, Carlos.
'Amateur.'
So kiss him, stupid.
- You know who Cathal Finney is? - Yes.
- He's Brendan's father.
- He killed my dad.
They're saying you
had Davis' father killed.
Is it true?
I promise you one thing, son..
I'll never spend a day in jail.
Dad!
You son of a bitch!
Don't do this!
I bet my father would've liked you.
You know, the truth is I don't know
if he would've liked you or not
'cause I didn't really know him.
If you don't want me back,
fine. I'm making this easy for you.
It's over. We're finished. Through.
It's not about saying the
word. It's about actions.
She left me a note on the door.
What does it say?
That I was right and that she's going home.
This is Ben. He fell off of
the jungle gym, hurt his arm.
- Let me see that. - It hurts.
Well, we'll fix it up.
I want my mommy.
I left two messages with his parents.
He'll need X-rays, you better
tell her to meet us at Mercy.
How about I ride with you? You like that?
If something happens to me
again, will you come get me?
Why, you plan to fall off
the monkey bars again?
No. But if I do?
Tell you what. I'll give
you my phone number.
If you ever need anything, you call me.
'A look at the weather.'
'Our high today expected to be 40 degrees'
'after an overnight low
of a chilly 11 degrees.'
'The temperature right now 34'
'barometric pressure at 29.85 and falling.'
'Relative humidity at 92%.'
'The wind is from the
east with gusts today'
'up to 35 miles an hour,
so hold onto your hat.'
'Once again, light snowfall'
'mixed with sleet and
rain throughout today'
'and tomorrow with a chance..'
Come closer and I'll shoot you.
'You hear me? I swear, I'll shoot.'
You have an out-of-state warrant
for your arrest. You are surrounded.
'Let's not make this thing
worse than it already is for you.'
I'm not sure how you guys do it in Philly
but that's his last warning.
In about a minute, ESU is going in.
That yo killed a cop, we wouldn't
have given him that warning.
What the hell is he
doing back here so soon?
I don't know. I guess he wanted to be here.
'Is he all here, though?'
What, you're worried about him?
Hey.
'Brendan, you alright?'
I'm fine.
Sorry about your father.
Yeah. I'm sure you are.
I didn't mean for it to end up this way.
Look, I don't need your pity, alright?
- Where are you going? - Somewhere quieter.
You can't keep ignoring me like this.
I've called you.
The way cops keep running away from you
it's like you should be
up there with that guy.
Get down!
ESU, if you have the shot, take it.
'EMS, stand by.'
Doesn't it seem wrong to be just waiting
for someone to get hurt?
Isn't that what we always do?
Yeah. I mean someone in particular.
How about you don't
go all boo-hoo for once?
I hear this guy killed
a cop in Philadelphia.
What if one of the cops gets
hurt? Can I boo-hoo then?
Do whatever the hell you want to do, Grace.
You know, it's not my fault
your girlfriend ran away.
We all have problems, Carlos.
- You've got problems?
- I just leave them at home.
Damn!
Guy's crazy!
'Let's go! Move in! Watch your weapons!'
Hey!
- What, you're just gonna leave?
- It's over.
It's not over until we're released.
'Suspect is in custody with a GSW.'
'Send that EMS team in, Central.'
You happy?
Hey, what's going on with you?
Maybe I don't want to
be around all these cops.
Maybe you should get another job.
Hello?
'Brendan.'
Who's this?
'He's hurting her.'
Who the hell is this?
'It's Ben, from the hospital.'
'You said you'd help me.'
- Ben? - 'Yeah.'
'From the playground. Remember?'
Oh, hey, what-what's going on, buddy?
He's hurting her.
'Who?'
My mom.
Please... Harris..
- Just tell me where he is. - 'Harris..'
He's my son too!
'What are you talking
about, Ben? Hurting who?'
Stop!
Stop.
'Ben, you got to talk to me, buddy.'
Ben, what's going on?
'I think I have to be quiet now.'
Ben, are you there?
Hey, who the hell are you talking to?
That kid we picked up in the park.
Remember Ben? He had a sprained arm.
He's saying his mom's been stabbed.
Ben, talk to me, buddy.
- Where are we going? - Uptown.
It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
She made me do it.
Oh, God!
Oh, God!
Ben, if you can, I want
you to get out of there.
He's so close.
'Ben?'
- Benny? - 'Can you get out of there?'
'Ben, you got to talk to me, buddy.'
Benny?
'Ben?'
Come on, answer me.
Benny?
Ben?
- 'Ben?' - 'Ben, who is that?'
'Benny?'
Hi, Benny.
Ben?
- The phone died. - Okay, where am I going?
Towards Marcus Garvey
Park where we found him.
Yeah, Emma. This is Officer Finney.
Last week we brought in
a kid named Ben Reynolds.
He fell off the monkey bars.
Right, the sprained arm.
Yeah, I need his address.
- Just call him back.
- His number's restricted.
Uh-huh.
Alright. Thanks a lot, Emma.
135, Lexington.
What if this kid's playing a joke, man?
I hope for his sake he is.
Why are you hiding from daddy?
'You hurt mommy.'
I wouldn't do that.
Guess what?
We're finally gonna have a home together.
What about mommy?
Mommy said it's okay.
She's hurt!
I said I wouldn't hurt mommy.
- But the blood! You have... - Oh, baby.
Did you wet yourself?
'Come on.'
I'll get you something to change into.
Let's go!
- Put these on. - I don't want to.
Well, you can't go around wet like that.
We have a big day ahead of us.
Mommy gave me that for an emergency.
There's never an emergency
when daddy's here.
Here.
Everything is gonna be fine.
See how good you look?
Come on.
- What's the number? - 407.
- I don't want to go. - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Mommy!
Leave mommy alone. She's resting.
We need to call someone to help her!
- We gotta go! - Mom! Mom! Mom!
Move! Come on, move!
Let's take the stairs.
No, no. Whoa, whoa.
- Mom! Help! - Shh.
Benny, it's okay.
- I don't want to! - Okay. Shh. Shh.
Open up. It's the police.
- Open up! - Let's get the super.
Or that.
'Davis.'
- Go. - Police!
Right here.
- Ma'am. - She's alive.
Go check the back. Watch your step.
'Ma'am, can you hear me?'
Ben!
Ben!
'This is 5-5 David to Central.'
'I need a bus forthwith at
135 Lexington, apartment 407.'
We have a female stabbed.
I can't find the kid and there's
blood everywhere back there.
'Hold still, ma'am.'
Hold still, please, ma'am.
I-I-I'm sorry for scaring you, Benny.
But she left me no choice at all.
This is the only way.
This is the only way.
Where's your son, Mrs. Reynolds?
- She was stabbed, Carlos.
- We got it. We got it.
Here, grab the board.
'Okay, we got penetrating
trauma to her back.'
'Two entry wounds. Foamy bubbles.'
We got a punctured lung involved.
- Where's your son? - Scoop and run.
Get her vitals on the bus.
- Where's your son?
- She can't hear you right now.
And if she dies, she'll
never be able to tell you.
- Get me that board. - Let's go!
Thirty five-year-old female.
Stab wounds times two to the mid-back.
Let's get her to Trauma One.
Good airway, but she has an
apparent right punctured lung.
- Hypotensive.
- BP's 60 palp, tachy at 118.
- Resps 24. - Page Surgery.
Set up a central line and
load O-neg on the rapid infuser.
Got her. One, two, three.
- What? What is it?
- I need you to move back.
- Husband. - 'Your husband?'
- Your husband did this?
- Move out of my way!
- Your husband?
- I said move out of my way!
- I need this information. - Move!
So she told you that the husband did this?
- I think so. I'm not sure.
- She did or she didn't?
Well, she said husband, but I don't know
if she just wanted him
notified or if he did it.
- How do you know the kid?
- Brought him here last week.
Why?
He fell off the monkey
bars in Marcus Garvey Park.
- And you gave him your card? - Yeah.
- Why? What for? - What do you mean?
I mean, did you think that his injuries
were more than just a playground accident?
No.
So you just gave him
your card for the hell of it?
Look, he was scared.
It made him feel better.
The doctor checked him out, if
he'd have found anything else
wrong with him, he would have reported it.
But if you thought there
was something wrong
you should have reported it.
And I would have.
Look, this isn't gonna
find the kid right now.
Next time I'm working on a patient
stay out of my way, okay?
I was trying to get information
about a missing kid, alright?
And I was trying to keep that woman alive.
- How is she doing? - She's stabilized.
- We need to talk to her.
- She's not conscious.
She's being prepped for surgery.
Well, when will she be able to talk to us?
Sorry. I have no idea.
Alright, look, I'm gonna
head back to the scene
and see how the canvass is goin'.
I'll talk to the neighbors.
Maybe they can tell us who the husband is.
Excuse me. Uh, yeah.
My building manager told
me my wife was brought in here
uh, in an ambulance.
- What's her name?
- Evelyn. Uh, Evelyn Reynolds.
Excuse me, sir? I'm Detective Yokas.
Are you Ben's father?
Yeah. I-I recently
adopted him. Where is he?
Well, we were hoping
that you could tell us.
I... well, why.. What's going on?
Where were you this afternoon?
At my office. What's happened?
Your wife was stabbed.
Oh, my god!
Oh. Oh, that son of a bitch!
That son of a bitch Harris did this!
- Who's Harris? - Crazy ex-husband!
We-we have a restraining order against him.
Did he take Ben?
- Someone did.
- I knew this was gonna happen.
I told her. I told her he was crazy.
You have any idea where Harris could be?
He-he-he has a sister.
She lives up on 152nd.
I, uh, I have her on my PDA.
That's where we sent all the legal papers.
Nobody ever showed up in court.
What is this place?
I wanted to show you where I work.
Mommy said you don't have a job anymore.
Your mommy lies to
you. She lies all the time.
This doesn't look open.
Wait till you see how
cool it looks on the inside.
- We should go check on mommy.
- Mommy's fine.
- She needs a doctor. - This stupid door!
The lock on this thing's always stuck.
I told maintenance
about it, but they're lazy.
We shouldn't go in there.
I told you. This is where I work, Ben.
You're with me.
Yokas is right.
When Ben asked me if he could call me
I should have known something was up.
That's easy to say in hindsight.
Yeah. Too worried about my old
man and this kid's reaching out.
Alright. You guys want to take
the back in case he's inside?
Alright.
- 'Who is it?' - NYPD. Detective Yokas.
I'm looking for a Harris Perry.
He's not in.
- Are you his sister? - Yeah.
You know where he is?
I don't know.
You mind if I come in
and take a look around?
No, I told you, he's not here.
Or I can come back with a search warrant.
We can tear your place
apart. It's up to you.
Sure.
When was the last time
you saw your brother?
What did he do, kite more checks?
When?
- It's been a while. - What's a while?
'You know, I'm not responsible
for anything he stole.'
Where does he work, ma'am?
He hasn't worked since his
company went out of business.
- Is this him? - 'Yeah.'
'That was his printing press.'
'You know, how many times I told him'
I mean, who needs a printer
anymore with computers?
How much did he steal this time?
Your brother may have kidnapped his son.
And stabbed his ex-wife.
Evelyn?
My brother would never do that.
Well, then we should be able
to wrap this up pretty quickly.
Yeah, he's sick, but he-he
would never hurt anyone.
What do you mean sick?
He's on medication.
Yeah, but he's-he's under control.
- Does he have a car?
- He would never hurt Ben.
Does he have a car?
I gave him my car this morning.
Alright, what's the license number?
He wouldn't hurt Ben, I know he wouldn't.
'Well, let's hope you're right.'
Alright, that'd be great.
Thanks.
They're gonna put an
AMBER alert out for the Chevy.
What do we do?
Just sit and wait.
That's it?
There's nothing we can do.
Come on. There has to be something.
Like what?
We could show Ben's picture around.
- To who, Brendan?
- Or look for that Chevy.
Ah, it's a needle in a haystack.
'He called me, Davis.'
He asked me to help
him, I'm not just going back
in service and wait.
Sit.
Come on.
I got your favorite ones.
It's cold.
The world is cold.
Why did you hurt her?
You know, this is where we met.
She was bleeding. We
shouldn't have left her.
I was working on my press.
She started in the office.
Oh, God, she was so pretty.
'She had on a..'
yellow sweater.
When I saw her..
I just knew.
Remember that, Benny.
When you see the one..
The girl you know..
You are supposed to be with..
F-forever.
You know it.
We, uh, we used to..
After work, go out to the car, and..
Laugh and..
Sing.
Does she still sing, Benny?
She's hurt, dad.
I bet she doesn't.
They got an AMBER alert out statewide.
They ought to do it in Jersey too.
- We already did it. - Look at you.
Just like the real police, huh?
Harris Perry, these belong to our bad guy.
What is it?
- Nefazodone. - Never heard of that.
- What's it for? - I don't know.
Let's find out.
You're not gonna eat anything?
I'm not hungry.
I bet you are.
For... one of these.
I got 'em for you, as a surprise.
Here.
Just the way you like 'em.
Can we go some place else?
Later, we'll play games.
I wanna go.
I'm sorry, Ben.
We're stayin' here.
Ben!
Ben!
Ben!
Come on, now.
I don't like this.
Don't-don't make me mad.
Now is not the time to play... the games.
Ben.
Ben.
'Ben?'
'Ben?'
Ben?
'Ben?'
'Ben?'
Ben?
You're pissing me off!
Ben?
'Ben!'
Ben!
Ben!
Where would this guy be?
He's probably pretty desperate.
My guess would be,
hit the road, kept going.
Son of a bitch!
If this guy really loves his son
maybe he won't hurt him.
You didn't hear Ben.
He was so afraid, Davis.
Ben?
'Brendan.'
Where are you, buddy?
He's gonna kill me.
Are you with your father?
Yes. Please.
Yeah, this is 5-5 Davis, we need
a trace on a cellphone number.
It's 555..
- 0122. - 0122.
Where's he now?
'I don't know.'
'It's dark.'
It's an old closed up building.
Hurry.
What do you mean it's gonna take an hour?
No, we need it right now.
Do you know what street you're on?
- 'No.' - Thank you.
What do you see in the room, Ben?
There are colors on the walls.
- What kind of colors? - 'Just colors.'
Is there, uh, is there
anyone else in the room?
No, we broke a door.
It's an old building. Hurry.
Is there, uh, any kind of
eq-equipment in the room, any..
There's something, it says A-B-D-I.
I can't read the rest.
'Ben?'
- Ben. - He's coming.
'Ben, is that you?'
Ben?
They're, they're in some kind of
an abandoned building somewhere.
There's equipment that says Abdi something.
Abdi?
A-B-D-I. A-B-D-I.
Yeah, Yokas, we got him
back on the phone again.
'Ben? Ben?'
Who-who the hell is this?
Is this Harris?
Who are you?
Brendan, a friend of your son's.
Hold on, Faith. Finney's
got the dad on the phone.
Alright, don't let Finney hang up.
Hey, they're on the phone with him now.
Have you ever heard of a
machine called Abdi something?
Sounds like a workout thing.
I just wanna make sure Ben's safe.
He's fine. He's with his father.
Where are you guys?
'That's none of your business.'
'5-5 David, we have a report..'
- What is that, a radio? - Look, Harris.
Your ex-wife is gonna be alright.
- 'She's my wife.'
- Alright, alright. Okay.
But you need to come in now
and let us make sure that Ben is alright.
What-what are you, social
services or something?
You still want to take him from me?
No, I'm a cop, and I just
wanna make sure Ben's safe.
- You're a cop? - 'Listen..'
- You called the police on me?
- He's my friend.
Harris, talk to me.
You can never keep us
apart. Do you hear me?
Never.
Harris? Harris?
- Why did you call the police?
- That hurts.
- What did you tell them?
- I only wanted him to help mom.
There's no companies in Manhattan
that start with A-B-D-I.
Zip in Brooklyn.
Hey, Gordon, you guys have
a Queens, uh, phonebook?
We don't have one up here.
Yeah, thanks.
Not a lot of abandoned
factories on Staten Island.
I don't know how much time we have.
I mean, those meds were
for some serious psychotics
and he's not on them.
This is all we got on the
pedigrees for the canvas.
Lot of nobody homes.
Desk said you needed this.
What, did you finally eat up
all the pizza in Manhattan?
- Ha-ha. - We got a call from Finney.
He talked to that kid again.
They're in some abandoned warehouse.
He's talking about some
machine with a A-B-D-I on it.
How about AB Dick?
- What do you mean?
- They make printing presses.
I worked for a printer in high school.
The sister.
'She said that he hasn't worked'
since his company went out of business.
The printing company.
You ruined it! We were gonna be happy.
- No, I didn't. - Yes, you did!
- This is all your fault!
- That's not true.
If you would've just trusted me
you wouldn't have hid under that sink
and I wouldn't have had to hurt your mommy.
This is your fault!
Well, we're not too
far. We'll see you there.
He used to work for
Hansen Brothers Printing
at 138 Front Street.
It's shut down now. Let's go.
Help me clean this up!
You're hurting me.
Do you know how mad
my bosses are gonna be
when they see this mess?
Ow.
Help me.
Alright.
I swear to God, Ben..
If you run away again..
'...I'm gonna go to your mother's house'
and I'm gonna cut her throat
and her bastard husband, too.
Alright, Yokas, we got a green Chevy here.
'We're two minutes away.
We have backup units with us.'
'Don't go in until we get there.'
Alright.
- She wants us to wait. - Yeah, no way.
Finney!
Police!
Harris, it's the police.
You check it out over there.
Harris!
Harris!
We just want to make sure Ben's okay, man.
You check behind those crates over there?
- Yeah. - Alright. This is all clear.
Let's go check the basement.
Come on, Harris. Hurting
Ben's not the answer.
Let's go.
We know you love your son, Harris.
That's why you did what you did.
'Brendan!'
Ben!
It's 5-5 David to Central.
We're in pursuit of a green Chevy
'in regard to the AMBER Alert.'
'5-5 David to Central, we're in pursuit
'of that green Chevy
headed south on Front.'
I thought they were supposed
to wait until we got there.
I guess not.
Watch it. Watch it.
How are we on your side, your side?
We're clear. We're clear. Go.
Oh, come on. Move!
No.
No, no, no!
No!
Come on. It's over. Let Ben out of the car.
He's my son!
Yeah, we can talk about
that when you let him go.
You leave us alone!
- Come on. Give us Ben.
- You get away from us!
'Listen, try to understand.'
You're off your medication right now, okay?
That's why everything seems so hopeless.
She took everything from me.
Everything.
'It's not my fault the plant closed.'
I tried to get another job, and I couldn't.
Does that mean I'm
supposed to lose everything?
My house, my wife.
My son.
You can still see your son, Harris.
You didn't lose him.
She let that son of a bitch adopt him.
He's his father now.
No, he's not.
Wh... wh-what?
You're my dad.
I messed everything up, Benny.
I'm sorry.
Go.
Don't!
'It's 5-5 David to Central.
We have the child. He's safe.'
'We need a bus on a rush to this location.'
The perp just cut his throat.
'Copy that, 5-5 Davis.'
We got a 30-year-old male
with a self-inflicted slash wound
across his throat. He crashed in the bus.
We got two liters of
saline on board, bolus.
Okay, get him into
Trauma One. Notify Surgery.
I need four units O-neg
on the rapid infuser.
I can't feel a pulse.
Alright, let's get him over on my count.
Ready? One, two, three.
He severed his left
carotid. I need some clamps.
'We got V-fib!'
Ben.
Daddy! Daddy!
- Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
- Get that kid out of here.
- Get that kid out of here. - Daddy!
- Charge to 200. - Daddy!
- Daddy! - Officer, please.
'He's holding on to the gurney. I can't..'
- Daddy! - 'Get him out of here.'
You got to let them work.
Clear!
Daddy!
Daddy! Daddy!
Everyone, clear!
Come on. Let's go see your mom.
Clear!
- My mom? - Yeah.
She's upstairs with her husband.
She's not dead?
No, buddy, she's gonna be alright.
Come on.
Poor kid.
I doubt his father's gonna make it.
- He's better off without him.
- Don't say that.
It's true.
- Stop it, alright? - Stop what?
You've been nasty all day.
What, you think this guy's candidate
for father of the year?
You know what I'm talking about.
- Why would she leave like that?
- I don't know, Carlos.
She said she loved me.
Then, I'm sure she does.
You don't just leave when you love someone.
Sometimes you do.
What does that mean?
I don't know. I don't know.
These things, relationships,
they're all complicated.
I have no idea how they work myself.
All I know for sure
is you have no idea
what she's really feeling
until you talk to her again.
Alright, and how am I
supposed to do that, Grace?
Be patient until she comes back.
And stop bitching at me.
I thought you were tough.
Give me blood and guts all day.
Love? Pass.
Oh, hey, buddy.
Hey, I know she looks
bad, but the doctor said
she's gonna be fine.
- For sure? - Yeah, for sure.
Excuse me, I was told her
husband was gonna be in here.
He had some paperwork to do at Admitting.
- He should be back soon. - Alright.
- Will you wait with me? - Oh, yeah.
You wanna go closer?
Can I?
I think she'd like that.
She'll know?
Yeah.
Moms always do.
Come on.
Why did he do that?
Well, sometimes people are sick.
And they can't always control what they do.
He was looking for me.
If I wasn't hiding
maybe she wouldn't have got hurt.
Look, I want you to know this.
What you did today was the
bravest thing I've ever seen.
You didn't do anything
wrong, you understand me?
Can I tell you something?
Yeah, anything.
I still love my daddy.
Of course you do.
We want 'em to be perfect, right?
But they're not.
They're just people.
Did yours ever do anything bad?
- What? - Your dad.
Yeah, he did.
And you still love him?
Yeah, I do.
Hey.
Good work today.
'Uh, Ty, I really need to talk to you.'
Goodnight.
It's important.
What, you're FBI now?
No. I'm not a detective anymore.
Swersky said I could ride with Sullivan
and get my shield the right way.
Well, if you took a demotion for me
that's a pay cut for nothing.
I did it out of respect for this.
Alright.
I know you're mad at me, but come on.
We gotta put this behind us.
We can't fix this.
Okay? You need to get
that through your head.
I appreciate what you did
taking down C.T. Finney.
Doesn't change things.
I miss you.
Well, you should've thought about that
before you stabbed me in the back.
I wasn't after you.
How'd he find out about that ticket, then?
Ty, come on.
You should've told me who you were, Sasha.
Yeah, but you wouldn't have stayed with me.
How do you know that? How do you know that?
You have no idea..
What I would've done for you.
But can we just, can we just go some place
and just have a conversation about it?
I'm done.
- I'm done talking to you. - Please.
You know, the way you
boo-hoo isn't always bad.
Is that right?
Yeah, the way you
always put the patient first
kind of reminds me of someone.
Who's that?
You didn't know him.
She'll come back, Carlos.
I hope so.
Hey.
You really hate love?
Goodnight.
Right.
Hey.
Hey, is Grace still around?
Yeah.
Good luck.
I've never been up here before.
Nothing special.
Uh, is-is everything alright?
Yeah.
I just, uh, I never said thank you
for your coming to my father's wake.
Yes, you did.
Oh.
Well, you know how we've..
Been playing this by ear.
Having a meal every so often, hanging out?
Yeah.
Well, what would you think about..
I don't know.
You know, making this
a little more permanent?
Permanent?
Look, I don't mean married or nothing.
Just, you know..
Kind of, kind of like..
You know, boyfriend and girlfriend?
Boyfriend and girlfriend?
Hey, look, I know I got a lot
of things going on right now.
My family's messed up.
I don't know how my partner and I are.
But the one thing I know for sure is
I'm not gonna meet anybody like you again.
And I don't wanna mess this up.
'Kiss him, stupid!'
Go home, Carlos.
'Amateur.'
So kiss him, stupid.
