You mean, that's when she shot him.
No, I shoot him.
You got to testify this.
I'm not going to listen you.
look what was did to your old man, - did to me.
- I'm going to back you front of a DA - you're going to testify this.
- Mr MacHinley So you believe the death wasn't on the up and up ? - I saw this yesterday.
- The one they wanted you to see.
And I don't know what's worse you standing by and doing nothing when they murdered my father, or blaming the fact that you didn't do anything about it on my family.
That was important to coming in.
More important that's nobody's find out that I'm IAB.
Finney.
Finney.
Finney, where are you? Finney! Is this what you're looking for bitch? Subtitle by the team third watch Episode 6x10 : Rat Bastard Ty.
I've been trying to call you since yesterday.
Yeah, I've been busy.
What's up ? Raymond Morris was killed.
What ? I called to meet with him at Rikers about your father and they told me he was stabbed.
When ? A week ago today.
That's right after I went to see him.
Where we go from here depends on what Sully decides to do.
You talked to Sully ? He asked what kind of consequences someone would face if he came forward in a case like yours.
- Really ? - You haven't spoken to him at all about this ? Ty, it's really not my business, but, if you want Sully to help you, you need to talk to him.
- Have you seen Ty ? - What? What's the matter with you? - Nothing.
- What the hell you doing here ? Davis.
He actually sent you back here ? Don't do this, Ty.
Okay, listen up.
I've got a few announcements.
Yeah, I got one, too, Lieu.
Um Monroe made detective, everybody.
Actually, I guess you always were one.
I got called down to IAB yesterday.
Had a little chat with Captain Finney.
All of a sudden, our little community-oriented holier-than-thou Detective Monroe walks in, yelling at Captain Finney about her cover being blown - her IAB cover.
- Davis, chill out, man.
The whole time you were riding with me you were working for the rat squad ? Enough.
Everybody out! Take your posts.
Now! Monroe you stay right here.
You filthy rat bitch.
You didn't have to do that.
You have a good day.
My daughter came home last night.
Yeah? Yeah.
She told the judge that she wants to live with me.
Good for you.
- What's going on ? - You know that black officer riding with Sullivan ? Yeah, Monroe.
Word on the street is she's a rat.
Sully, is it true what they're saying about Monroe ? Davis saw Detective Monroe yesterday at her IAB office.
Where is she ? She's in the roll call room.
- Where you going, Faith ? - I was going to go talk to Officer Monroe.
Not today.
Hey, Sully, you call me as soon as she hits the streets ? You got it.
Why are you assigned here ? For Cruz ? Nothing specific.
I was sent here to work patrol and, if anything came up, to act.
What came up ? I'm not allowed to talk about any cases I may have been working on.
Your cover's blown.
Captain Finney's supposed to transfer you out of here.
I guess not.
Lieutenant, I know you may not believe this, but I took the job with IAB for a very important reason.
Spare me the nobility.
You need to transfer out of here immediately.
Do you think you did the right thing ? Did I do the right thing ? Davis, she is your girl.
She was my girl, man.
- All I'm saying is - What? Did you know ? - Know what ? - That she was working for your father ? You expect him to tell the truth, man ? I don't think anybody was asking you.
No, I'm asking you something and you're not answering.
Did you know ? Look, I don't get involved in my old man's business.
All right ? With all due respect, sir, I'd like to stay.
You're on the desk until I can get you the hell out of my precinct.
- I'm not sitting at the desk.
- I decide what goes on here, you understand ? I haven't done anything wrong.
No one is going to ride with you and I am not putting you out there alone.
- I'll ride with her.
- What ? Why does that not surprise me ? - That okay with you? - You don't have to do that, Brendan.
Yeah, Brendan, you're having enough trouble fitting in around here.
I don't give a damn about fitting in, man.
I'll ride with her boss.
Davis, you're with Sullivan.
This is far from done, Monroe.
Cops come after her, they're coming after you, too.
Yeah, and I'll be waiting.
There goes a match made in heaven.
Like me and you are any better.
That's right-- Carter Savage.
You gotta be kidding me, Lieu.
What's going on ? We got a ride- along today.
Oh, yeah ? Carter Savage, the movie star.
He's playing a firefighter.
We're gonna be his research.
Hello FDNY brothers.
Mr.
Savage.
Lieutenant Walsh.
Welcome to Squad 5-5.
Hey, it's Carter, Lieu.
Just, uh, call me Carter.
Carter.
Right.
Uh Reja.
- DK - Stu Szczelaszczyk.
Oh, don't ask me to pronounce that.
My dad took me to see my first Carter Savage film when I was six.
Please tell me that you're only 12 now.
Twenty-four.
Oh.
"Do I look amused to you, pissant ?" Lone Wolf.
Wolf Hauser.
Awesome character.
My dad loved it.
I loved it.
It was the first thing we ever saw eye to eye on.
Actually, we haven't agreed on very much other than your movies.
You know, we go see them the day they open.
Oh, well, thank you, Mr.
Sliziz We just call him Lotta Z's.
Or Stu.
Stu's good.
Well, look, Stu I really appreciate that.
And, guys, I want you to know I really appreciate you letting me tag along.
And I want you to treat me FDNY, all the way.
You kick my ass, I do anything wrong, all right ? So, why'd you tell Swersky you'd ride with me ? When I was younger, I was always sticking up for the unpopular kids.
My old man really sent you back here knowing your cover was blown ? I don't really think we should talk your father or IAB.
Why? You don't want to hurt me or you don't trust me not to report to him ? It's hard to trust anybody after knowing him.
Thanks.
What the hell ? You come to my promotion ceremony.
You ask me how my divorce is going.
How about when you take me out for Italian, huh ? Yokas Are you kidding me ? You called to "check" on me ? Is that all part of your assignment ? I had to do my job.
But I didn't pretend to be your friend.
You're my friend ? I almost went to jail.
I thought I was going to lose my kids because IAB came in and scooped me up in the middle of a custody hearing.
Listen to me.
I was not investigating you.
Did you ever ask me one question that pertained to a case about me or Cruz ? You can't give me a straight answer ? I'm going to tell you something, Monroe Transfer.
To far away.
You might be the most unpopular kid I ever stuck up for.
Sharon told me you talked to her.
I'm going to testify against Finney if she can make a case.
What made you change your mind ? Same thing that made me keep my mouth shut when I figured out C.
T.
Finney killed your old man you.
You need to leave it alone, man.
Just What, after all the crap you've given me ? What the hell is this guy doing ? Get the lights.
Put your hand where I can see them ! Get out of the car.
Hands on the side of the van.
My my daughter's been shot, all right ! Hands up on the van.
It-it's okay.
Get us to the hospital, please.
Please, get us to the hospital.
- I'm right here, Debbie.
- She's got a weak carotid pulse.
- We've got to move her.
- I found the bleed.
Ty, give me that backboard.
Sarge, this is Mr.
Wilcox.
His daughter's the victim.
- What happened ? - I was lost.
I, uh, got off the highway to turn around, but I made a wrong way, and I couldn't get back to it.
This black son of a bitch flagged me down like he was trying to help, then tried to rob us.
I floored it, but he took a couple of shots, and, uh one of them hit Debbie.
So what did he look like ? Other than being a son of a bitch.
I don't know, uh he was six-feet tall.
Maybe around 30 years old.
He was wearing, like, something like a stocking on his head.
He had a black jacket, jeans, or sweats.
Okay, after your daughter's taken care of, we might need you to help us look for the shooter.
- Anything you need.
- We're ready to go, sir.
You guys need me ? I almost lost my life at Riker's.
- Are you crazy ? - Come on.
- I will kick your ass ! - These threats mean nothing ! Get off me ! All right.
We're not through, bitch ! Male white DOA.
One to the back of the head.
Client came in for a 2:30 meeting.
Found him like this.
Client nearby ? He's out in the RMP.
Pretty shaken up.
Said the vic was a private detective who was tailing his wife.
Detective Brian McKinley.
Looks like he'd been off the job a long time.
Yeah, well, he wasn't just a detective.
He was IAB.
Seems like IAB is a theme today.
So you're playing a firefighterin your next movie ? Yeah, first firefighter on Mars after it's been populated.
The year is 2065.
But this guy isn't some phony Hollywood deal.
This guy is FDNY through-and-through.
A real smoke eater from Brooklyn who, after the entire planet has been abandoned out of fear is left alone to single handedly fight off an invasion from deep space.
It's a great script.
Lone Wolf Hauser on Mars.
Yeah, except for it isn't Lone Wolf.
It's a different character.
But Wolf had to fight to save that Texas border town in Blazing Glory.
Yeah, yeah, but this is not Wolf.
Different guy.
Is there oxygen on Mars ? I don't know, why ? Fires need oxygen.
Hey, man, I don't write this stuff.
I just make it watchable.
Could we do this ? All right, you ready for some firefighter lingo ? Bring it on.
All right, you got your six-foot hook, your halligan tool, your partner saw, your flathead axe, and your hydraram Okay, buh, buh, buh That's that's enough right there.
We got a 16-foot hook, we got a a mull hulligan - That's close.
- A mechanical We'll try again.
Hey, man, just tell me the names ! Do not treat me like I'm stupid ! Hey, man, I-I never said you were stupid.
Come on, man.
You're supposed to be my biggest fan.
That was straight out of Lethal Bullets.
It was my movie right before Lone Wolf.
Hey, Carter, I left some turnouts for you on the rack.
Cool.
What's a turnout ? Hey, how's it going with him ? Hey, you ever heard of Lethal Bullets ? Aren't they all ? Eight-year-old female.
G.
S.
W.
to lower abdomen.
Intubated, no resps.
B.
P.
60, tachy at 120.
with saline running.
GCS 2-1-4.
Trauma Four is open.
It's got to be the worst day of their lives.
So why won't you let me help you with your father ? - 'Cause I don't need your help.
- I can get C.
T.
Finney myself.
So you call me dirty, accuse me of being in on your father's murder, and when I offer to help, you tell me no way ? I've got the files.
That's all I need.
Davis, 20-year-old files without someone to authenticate them are worth nothing.
Maybe if you would've spoken up back then, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
All right, I get that you're mad at me.
But why won't you let me help ? Sully, you get involved in this, you're going to lose your pension, you're going to go to jail.
Just don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
Oh, so now you're looking out for me ? I guess so.
You thought about what he's going to do when you go after him ? The minute I bring all this out, C.
T.
's going to do what he's got to do to stop me, and if he, uh When it gets bad, I'll just I'll deal with it.
Your father said the same thing.
You sure ? Right.
Thanks, Madeline.
We got problems.
That's news ? That was the M.
E.
She's got the slug.
It's a Plus-P.
Does that mean something to you ? Plus-P used to be issued to cops.
We hated them.
They were made specifically to keep a fired round from going through someone we shot and hitting anyone else.
They did a pretty good job on that victim today.
Faith, these bullets were never for sale on the open market.
Wait, what are you saying, he was shot by a cop ? If that bullet didn't come from Brian McKinley's gun, our Christmas stocking just got filled with big lump of coal.
Is there any change ? No, they're still working on her.
Yeah.
Well, we got to get this father out there to show us exactly what happened 'cause otherwise, or we got zero chance of nailing this guy.
What if we show the guy a map, get him to find where they got off the expressway and backtrack to where she got shot.
Well, if you can get this guy to focus, I'm game.
I think I got one in the car.
Hey, how is he ? Who, Davis ? Yeah.
You find out you're sleeping with the enemy, it's it's got to affect you.
He's good.
Help ! Help ! Help ! All right, what the hell is going on ? We were fighting for the ultimate championship in the Ring of Death.
Well, the Ring of Death is now closed, my friend.
Oh, my parents are going to kill me.
Stu, run a line back here.
All right, we need to run an inch and three-quarter hose from the rig.
Right behind you.
Holy spit.
Yo, that's that Wolf Hauser guy.
Yo, yo, it's Wolf Hauser.
That guy used to be big.
My name is Savage.
Wolf Hauser is a character, you dumbass.
Ease up, man.
- All right.
- Let's go.
All right, what can I do ? You can help me run the hose back to the Lieu.
- Got it.
- No, that's the three and a half hose.
The inch and three-quarter is over here.
Get off.
I I got this.
- This isn't some movie set.
- You can't screw this up.
Stay here.
So you got off somewhere around 98th and Arthur ? Yeah, I think I made a left and drove for a few blocks.
Can you go over what happened once more, Mr.
Wilcox ? I was arguing with my wife, and then I missed our exit so I got off where I could to turn around.
I stopped to ask directions, and, uh Wh-what ? Stopped ? You said earlier that you were flagged down.
Fine, I was flagged down.
What was your exit ? Look, can I go see how my daughter is ? I'll, uh, I'll go check.
DAVIS: Hey.
He was driving a company car for a Berman Pharmaceuticals.
He wasn't even supposed to have it anymore they fired him last week.
Still waiting for him to return the car.
I'll ask him about it when I get back.
Oh, God.
So, so stupid.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Wrong turn, Paul ? Where did you get that ? What, you-you had drugs ? Paul, please don't do this.
Officers, Mr.
Wilcox has five seconds to either tell us who shot his daughter, or he and his wife will not be here when she wakes up.
Four Paul You'll never see your kid again.
Three Paul's company had just received a shipment of OxyContin, and Paul stole some of it.
He was taking it to this guy he'd been selling to for awhile, but he doesn't trust him, so he hid it in Debbie's doll, He tried to rip him off, and Paul got mad and said that he would turn him in.
He shot Debbie, Paul.
Don't you care about that ? What's his name ? I only know his nickname Skeeter.
Sk Skeeter Matthews ? I guess.
No.
No.
Now you listen to me.
We had a deal.
They cannot just go in another direction.
I'm already here doing research.
Oh, come on, the D.
U.
I.
thing is just an allegation.
I haven't been convicted of anything.
Have you have you told them this ? Besides, I visited that family in the hospital, what is it, twice now ? I'm paying for all their damn medical bills.
What else am I supposed to do ? All right, Irwin look.
Man, this is me.
This is very important to me.
I want this part.
Would you please, just one more time, just trying calling them ? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Bye.
Damn it ! Yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying to yourself.
"Golly gee, this ain't the same guy who jumped off a fighter je onto the wing of Air Force One.
" Right ? You got into an accident driving drunk ? I wasn't drunk.
I was coming home from a long day of shooting.
We work 16, 17 hours sometimes.
My old man uses a soda can.
What ? Carries around a soda for everybody to see.
But he hits it all through the day with a pick-me-up.
He'd be out cold by the end of the night.
Yeah, well, you know, I do my own stunts, and six years ago, I If you're drunk, you're a risk to us.
I'm not drunk, Stu.
It's just the hair of the dog.
Look let me just finish out the day.
It's better I go back to that studio.
At least I got the lingo down.
I get this part, uh, resurrect my career ? You're a big fan, right ? Yeah, I'm a big fan.
Oh, good.
Then let's just keep this call and this discussion between us.
I'm not a danger to anyone.
I'm just a broke down guy developing arthritis, fighting for a job, five years ago, they would have paid me to read the script.
All right ? Yeah.
This guy used to protect some serious scum.
He was scum.
He retired in '85 for medical reasons.
Medical like, I'm sick with cancer, or medical like, get lost, and we'll make up a reason ? Who knows with IAB ? Grimaldi here.
Yeah ? Uh-uh.
Great.
We'll be right there.
Victim's wife's reporting him missing.
She just got back from out of town.
Apparently, they ransacked the use, too.
Okay, everybody, listen up.
We got a positive ID in the suspect from the shooting of the little girl this morning.
According to Paul Wilcox, Skeeter was wearing a dark coat, jeans or sweats, and a stocking cap.
We don't need your help.
- I'm doing my job.
- Your job or IAB's ? Sergeant Cruz, finish the briefing.
Skeeter Matthew has been in for violent crimes and drug possession.
Now, the neighborhood he deals from is a major drug area, so the only that these people are gonna help us locate the guy is if it's to cut out the competition.
Questions ? Find him.
I've seen this guy before.
You know where this guy is ? Yeah, he hangs out near He's not gonna be hard to find.
I'll be right back.
Looks like Christmas came early for you.
I didn't mean for CT to come after you about that ticket.
Hey, you could have fooled me.
Ty, where I come from, people are victimized by the cops.
I've seen them disregard every law they swore to uphold.
And who's gonna stop them from doing that, huh ? Who's gonna police them ? If a cop does the right thing, they have no reason to be afraid of IAB.
We're only a threat to those cops who act like the criminals that we arrest on the street every day.
So, now I'm no different than a criminal ? Get out of my way.
Was your husband having problems with anyone ? He kept his work to himself.
Was he worried about anything the last few days ? More than usual ? I've been at my sister's house in Hoboken.
We talked about a separation, but I never would have left him.
I only wanted him to pay more attention to me.
Take your time, Mrs.
McKinley.
Uh, can I Can I get a tissue ? Sure.
Go ahead.
Jelly, come here.
Why does that number look familiar to me ? That's Monroe's number.
Uh, my mother-- she, uh Are you ? He's the guy from the movies, Dad.
Hey, Sport.
I know you haven't been in any movies lately, but I-I didn't know that you were a fireman now.
- Just doing some research.
- Sir, your mother ? Right.
She's in the kitchen.
She's stuck her hand in the garbage explusive Carter, are you okay ? Yeah.
Yeah, I just I, uh, tripped on a toy there.
Why don't you ahead? I'm gonna I'm gonna get some air.
- Is the power off for the disposal ? - No, I'm just got stuck.
I'm so embarrassed.
Oh, you're pretty cute for someone who got themselves into a situation like this.
Stu, let DK in, please.
Yeah.
We'll have you out of there in a minute, ma'am.
BOY: What's wrong with him ? I'm okay.
Ah.
Just, uh It's just something I ate.
Cover your flask.
Yeah.
He got sick while he was bringing down some bad guys for a foreign government.
Let's go help your grandma.
Swersky might be right.
Maybe I should transfer.
It'll just follow you to your next precinct.
But that's all they'll know.
At least here, you got some people kind of giving you a chance.
Bren, hold up.
Pull over.
That's him right there.
that shooting suspect at 109 and Arthur.
Additional units requested.
Skeeter Matthews ? Put your hands where I can see 'em.
I didn't do nothing.
Put your hands where I can see 'em now.
Get the car ! shots fired at 109 and Arthur ! No.
Let's seal up these exits and wait for backup.
Give me my damned flashlight ! Monroe, you've got nothing to prove.
You just make sure you have my back.
Monroe, wait.
Monroe! My backup's on the way.
You better come out, you son of a bitch.
I'm getting out of here, and you're my insurance policy, you hear me ? Finney.
Finney.
Finney, where are you ? Finney ! I'm unarmed.
What unit in the field to respond to 5-David's 10-13 ? Unit .
Please send me some assistance.
Finney.
Finney.
Finney, where the hell are you ? Monroe, where are you ? Monroe ? I've lost my partner.
She was in pursuit of an armed suspect.
It's your call.
This is 5-5 Charlie responding to 10-13.
Need location.
Monroe, answer me.
Bet you thought today was going to be an easy day.
Catch some criminals and lock 'em up, go on back to your nice house.
Bet you thought today was going to be a good day.
Monroe ! Monroe, where are you ? Finney.
- Monroe ? - Finney.
Monroe, where are you ? Talk to me, Monroe.
Is this what you're looking for bitch ? This is 5-5 Charlie.
We've got a location on 5-David.
You know you shot that little girl ? What ? You didn't shoot Wilcox.
You shot his eight-year-old daughter.
I should've shot all them sons of bitches.
Who's the bitch now ? What, you gonna kill me ? Monroe ? Come on, Sasha.
What ? Then go ahead, kill me then.
That's what you're gonna do anyhow.
Step back, let me cuff this guy.
Davis, talk to her, man.
She can do whatever the hell she wants to do.
Oh, that's what it is? Y'all gonna let her shoot me, then y'all gonna cover it up, huh ? Sasha, come on.
Come on, Sasha, you don't want to do this.
Don't give these guys the satisfaction to see you go down like this.
Sasha, look at me.
Come on.
I'll take your ass to jail and let them kill you in there.
I want y'all to know that dude, Paul Wilcox, he ain't no good guy, bringing his family here.
He been bringing dope here for years ! Why don't you go check on your partner.
Get your hands behind your back.
You leave me here ? You were going to just leave me here ?! You should take it easy for a few days.
Make sure you get over that flu.
Ah, a couple days rest, I'll be good.
Hey, there's my guy, huh? You recover quick.
I have to.
People mistake sickness for anything when you're in the public eye.
Listen, I've got paperwork to do.
All the best on your movie.
Do us proud.
Yeah, I will.
You gonna be okay ? Yeah, if I don't get this job, I'll get the next one.
I wasn't talking about that.
I know.
In Lone Wolf, after you take down the big, big bad guy.
You know, the one with the missiles ? At the very end, you get back into your car and you see the duffel bag on your seat, the ransom money you were supposed to pay for the father.
No one knows you still have it, no one's missing it.
But you, you grab the bag and you take it back to the bank.
You turn it back in.
Now, I told my dad, I thought that was stupid.
But you know what he told me ? He said a real hero is someone who does the right thing when no one's looking.
My old man's going to get a kick out of me telling him I met you.
It'll probably be the first time in years we haven't argued.
Nothing wrong with believing in heroes.
He's gonna testify that Wilcox had been here selling drugs.
- Good job.
- Good job ? We called for backup and nobody came.
It looks like there was response to me.
Yeah, well, it took long enough.
You weren't at the original location.
Finney, we had to find you.
Right.
You can believe what you want.
Man, what the hell happened to you ? Sasha Monroe.
Davis, I'll see you and Sullivan back at the station.
All right.
I'm going to be right behind you, okay ? Nobody's riding with her ? I'm going to follow.
That's all she needs.
Monroe - Hey, stay away from her, all right ? - Finney, stay the hell out of my way.
It'd be best if we got her to the hospital.
Did you know Brian McKinley ? Yeah, he's a retired detective.
We found your cell phone number on an envelope in his house.
He gave me a copy of an IAB folder it was for Davis.
Hey, she's got to go.
Just put her in.
Talk to her later.
Finney, go wait by your squad.
I don't think so.
We really have to go guys.
Davis.
Did Monroe give you an IAB folder ? Yeah, what about it ? The guy that gave it to her was murdered tonight.
It was an IAB detective, Brian McKinley.
Brian McKinley was murdered ? You know him ? I used to.
Found a police bullet in his brain.
Police bullet ? Sharon told me that Raymond Morris was killed last week, right after I talked to him.
Who's Raymond Morris ? The drug dealer that murdered his father.
Now this IAB guy's dead, this is C.
T.
Finney.
He's out of control.
