Previously on Third Watch : We justkeep last night betweenourselves, please.
Carlos and Holly sitting in a tree That's real mature.
Chief MacInerney? I-I'm a police officer, sir.
I work in the 5-5.
I've been investigating my father's murder.
We should reopen the case.
Maybe you didn't do anything 'cause you had something to do with his death.
Oh.
Hey.
Don't you ever question my loyalty to your father again.
You do realize you're gonna have to testify? Absolutely.
You're probably gonna get fired from the department.
You could end up in prison, a disgraced ex-cop.
This is my one chance to get my dignity back.
What the hell's going on? It's over, Captain.
Captain Finney, I wanted you to see the gravity of your situation as it relates to the murder of Officer Tyrone Davis, Senior.
I suggest you turn yourself in to your police department.
If you're not there by 9:00 a.
m.
tomorrow morning, I'll have a warrant sworn out against you, and we'll come to your house.
Davis.
Hey, I need to talk to you, man.
What? You couldn't wait a half an hour? I'm on my way to work right now.
It's about your father.
Look, something happened today, and I want you to hear it from me.
Listen to me, hero.
I know you think your ass is special because your old man's a honcho.
But your old man's a thug, a thief and murderer.
Is it true? Is what true? What he said about my dad? Your old man's a thug, a thief, and a murderer.
And nothing you ever do on this job is gonna change that.
Oh, I know he's looking into his father's death.
Murder.
What happened with you and his old man? We worked together.
That's all.
I told him to talk to my father about it.
You're kidding, right? Do you know anything about how he was killed? Why you asking? You're gonna be late.
I thought you were supposed to be there at 9:00.
They gave me till 5:00.
Oh.
Then I'll meet you at the DA's office.
Look, uh, why don't you go out, get your hair done? Look beautiful for me.
We're going out tonight.
Lawyer says it'll only take about an hour.
I love you.
I love you, too.
You are the man, John Sullivan.
Is that right? Good-bye, King Rat.
It's not done yet.
What's happening? What was that for? C.
T.
Finney's gonna be somebody's bitch by midnight.
Hello.
Guess where I am.
I don't know.
Guess.
Levine, come on.
Remember that coffee shop I took you to the other day, the one where they make that amazing peppermint tea? No.
Come on.
Luis is the owner.
We stopped by on the way back to the house from Bellevue.
Uh okay.
Would you like me to bring you some peppermint tea to the house for you and Grace? Look, um, enjoy your day off.
You don't need to be coming around the firehouse.
That's so sweet.
Yeah.
I'll talk to you later.
I love you.
Yeah.
See you later.
Hey.
No work today, Miss Holly? It's my day off, Luis.
So, uh, peppermint tea and a bran muffin? Oh.
To go.
To go? Ah, you break my heart.
Well, I'll bet you've broken a few yourself.
Are you sure you can't stay? You know, it's bad for your stomach eating and walking.
And miss this beautiful day? Thank you.
Season 6 - Episode 12 The L word the team Third Watch Can I ask you something? Is it too late to say no? What is it with women and the "L" word? The "L" word? You know love.
Okay, look, first of all it's not all women.
I mean, I have never told any guy that I love him.
Secondly, I think Levine pretty much loves everyone.
No, it wasn't like that.
She said it twice.
And then waited for an answer.
What did you say? Well, uh, first, I pretended that I fell asleep, and the second time, I said I'll see her later.
Nice.
Adam 5-5-3, we have a report of an explosion at 323 Second at 6th.
Adam 5-5-3 responding.
Why does that address sound so familiar? I don't know.
Second and 6th? There's a-a bookstore on one side, a coffee shop on the other.
A coffee shop? Luis'.
I-I think, uh, Holly took me there once.
Oh, my God.
What? Get some more line here.
Uh, let's get these people back.
All right, everybody who's not hurt, get back on the curb.
Give a little more pressure.
We have two people here.
What happened? I'm no expert, but I'd say there was an explosion.
Sergeant Cruz.
All right, back on the curb.
Get the names of the victims for the report.
- But I was just - I'm not asking.
Pressure! Move! Move! What's going on up there? Can you see anything? I don't know what the hell is going on.
Why don't you just get us through? How am I gonna get you through? There's a truck in front of us over here.
- I can't see a thing.
- Get out of the car Carlos! Carlos, where are you going? Where you been? Busy.
There was an explosion.
We got to go.
Are we the fire department? We have duties at a scene like that.
I was making a phone call.
Are we gonna have a problem today? Why would we? We're friends, right? We don't have to be.
Came to my house and gave me the heads-up and all.
What, that was wrong? Heads-up would have been you coming to me when you first started looking into this - and told me what was going on.
- How the hell was I supposed to do that? All I know is my dad's turning himself in today because of what you think he did.
I'm not apologizing for that.
Well, good for you.
at 4714 159th Street.
We have duties.
Excuse me.
Where's Holly? What? Have you seen Holly? I ain't seen her.
Holly! Carlos, he's impaled.
He needs 02.
Holly.
He's breathing on his own, but barely.
He's impaled.
- Look at me.
You're bleeding.
- I'm fine.
- He needs oxygen and a c-collar.
- You sure? I've to go talk to Luis.
Luis? Okay, it's gonna be okay.
Grace? I've got a man with partial thickness burns covering most of his body.
Luis, okay, it's gonna be okay.
Grace is here at this point.
She's really good.
She's gonna help him.
I'll try.
Okay, all right, let's scoop and run.
All right, I need a backboard.
- Are you okay to lift? - Yes, let's go! Backboard com'in.
??? I need O2 and a board.
penetrating wound with foreign body.
Protecting his airways, but otherwise, minimally responsive.
- Pulse is 120.
His BP 80 palp - We've got a 35-year old male, full thickness burns, altered with GCS 9.

Is he gonna be okay? He's gonna be okay, isn't he? They're doing everything they can.
Come on.
He's got twin boys.
Second grade.
Do you know how to get ahold of them, his family? Uh, no, I-I We just I mean, he-he talks about them all the time.
I think his wife's name is Sophia.
You know what? I can go back to the restaurant.
Maybe there's an address book or something.
No.
I-I think the police are probably identifying everyone.
Let's get you taken care of.
So, what's the count? One dead.
Two critical.
Surprised anyone made it.
You guys, what happened? FD is still doing their thing.
You got all the IDs on the vics? Most of them.
Maybe you can help me with this one.
Steven Brett? Yeah.
He's pretty bad.
I've been trying to locate a relative, but there are no telephone numbers listed for the address on the driver's license.
Yeah, this is by the precinct.
I'll stop by, uh, on my way back.
Here's his work ID, too.
I'd hate for this kid to die without his parents having a chance to say good-bye.
No problem.
You believe this? John Sullivan all of a sudden thinks he can hurt me? DA's going to offer you a deal.
He's wasting his time.
Take it.
What are you talking about? I am not putting my ass on the line and neither is the department.
This isn't the '70s, Cathal.
We got too many eyes looking at us.
The Internet, the press-- the PC is gonna have to answer to them.
Then I'll take out my little black book on the Police Commission.
C.
T Lot of skeletons, Tom.
Get the commissioner on the phone.
They got you.
You want to have a conversation about other people's involvement? I wasn't alone.
You got a son on the job.
You press this, they'll bury him.
You keep Brendan out of this.
It won't be difficult.
They'll stick him in the most dangerous precincts in the city.
They'll make sure he's got one-man patrols, foot routes.
You listen to me, pal.
I've had your backs for years.
You lost this one C.
T.
You take the plea.
This department used to know what loyalty and honor was.
We used to have each other's backs.
No.
No.
We were just afraid of each other.
Well, I'm not taking a plea.
You think about your son, C.
T.
You think about Brendan! So I had lunch with Emily.
It was nice.
You know, we talked, like friends.
That's good.
I think us living together is going to work out.
Why wouldn't it? Well, we haven't always gotten along.
Neither have we.
Things work out.
Yeah, well, with you and me, it usually takes some sort of a tragedy to get us back together.
Tough love.
How's Charlie? He's confused.
He's gonna be with me this weekend.
Maybe when I get out I can come over and see him.
Yeah, I think he'd like that.
What is the word about you getting out of here? I'm having a bunch of tests done this afternoon.
My release date's up to the neurologist.
What, are you gonna strong-arm him? Actually he's a she.
I'm going to have to go with my charms.
Just make sure you show her your good side.
I didn't mean that.
It's okay.
I'm sorry, it was just something my mom used to say to me all the time.
Faith-- not a problem.
- It doesn't look that bad.
- It's okay.
- Who is it? - Mrs.
Brett? Yes? I'm Sergeant Cruz; this is Officer Santiago from the 55th precinct.
We need to talk to you about Steven.
It's important.
About Steven? There's been an accident and he's in the hospital.
That's funny, ma'am? - Josie, get back in here.
- Run the water.
I'll be up in a sec.
Sorry, I don't mean to laugh.
It's just that my Steven's been dead nearly 20 years.
This is probably your son we're talking about.
We never had children.
Do you know who this is? No, but, except for the year of birth, that's all my husband's information.
Steven was born in '41, not '70.
What's going on? I don't really know.
If we learn anything else we'll be in touch.
Thanks.
It was supposed to be a simple notification.
We got one for newspaper theft.
You got to be kidding me.
DAT him and send him on his way.
He's intox, Sarge.
Offered to by him a cup of coffee, but supercop here has got to have "truth and justice for all.
" I'll process him myself.
Brendan.
What the hell are you doing here? I came to see my son.
They let you out? Who's they? You were supposed to be there at 9:00.
I wasn't aware I had to clear my schedule with you.
I heard them say 9:00 A.
M.
You really think this thing's going to hurt me? You're a real son of a bitch, you know that? You going to let this uniform talk to me this way, Lieutenant? I'm still a Captain of Police.
You should go, boss.
I came for my son.
See him outside.
You're making a big mistake here, pal.
Shouldn't take sides.
I just want this out of my house.
Hey, come on.
No, don't tell me to calm down.
He was supposed to be at the DA's office at 9:00.
What are you talking about, you gave him till 5:00? He's a cop facing life.
He's got every reason to flee.
Good, yeah, why don't you just buy him a plane ticket? They gave him till 5:00.
Why? His attorneys got it for him.
Didn't think eight hours was too much to ask for.
Damn it, I was stupid to think this was going to turn out any different.
No, he's going down, Sully.
Don't worry about it.
No, he's not.
He was right.
A patrol cop is never going to be able to bring down a Captain of the NYPD.
This is what I was trying to tell you, Davis.
This is real life.
Nothing ever turns out the way you think it's going to.
Good guys don't always win; the bad guys don't always lose.
It's never simple.
It's never easy.
This guy's going to win.
He's going to beat this.
And the only people that are going down are the grunts.
People like you and me.
People like your father.
You know, no one loves this river like us to the Office.
I've been trying to call you since yesterday.
Look at the mist.
Beautiful.
Dad, I've been calling you.
I thought this should be face to face.
Davis said these guys you worked with Bunch of rummies, derelicts, bunch of drunks.
But they're saying you had Davis' father killed? I wanted to talk to you in person to assure you, Brendan, you have nothing to worry about.
That the case is non-prosecutable.
The evidence is old.
That's not what I wanted.
They are jealous.
They are jealous.
Davis hasn't got a father, Sullivan doesn't have a son, Monroe doesn't have a man.
They're jealous of us, of what we have.
Damn it, Dad, I don't care about that.
I don't give a damn if they're jealous.
I don't give a damn if this case isn't prosecutable.
What the hell is it then? Is it true? That's got to be tough to ask that question.
No varnish, Dad.
No technicalities, no legal BS.
Just a simple answer: yes or no.
Come on, Dad.
Is it true? I promise you one thing, son.
I'll never spend a day in jail.
Now you got to get back to work.
Steven is not Steven? Not according to the real Steven Brett's wife.
Looks like identity theft.
You're telling me that he's not who he says he is? Yes, that would be the definition.
So how long has he worked here? About nine months.
He's a good worker.
He's never missed a day.
You do background checks on your employees? After 9/11, the government makes me get six pieces of identification on these guys.
I got addresses, - phone numbers - You, uh, you have a file on Brett? Yeah, right here.
And you checked these carefully? Very.
So for someone to get past the security check, they'd, uh, they'd have to be very good.
That is an understatement.
This number's the DMV.
What? Let's go back to Mercy and print this guy.
Thank you.
I've been going to Luis' for years.
All those people in there.
I knew their faces, but I didn't know any of their names.
Now I'll never know.
Were you really that interested? Come on, they were just people who ate at the same cafe.
They were human beings.
All I'm saying is that it's bad enough for you.
You don't need to keep putting into it.
Don't keep reliving it.
Pass me the chips.
I saw this documentary about Jerusalem.
They said that, um, every time there's a bombing, people get on their cell phones and call their loved ones right away and let them know they're okay.
So while, uh, paramedics are putting people on stretchers, cell phones are ringing all around them.
Isn't that sad? They don't know it was a bomb.
It doesn't matter.
That's the world we live in today.
Doesn't it make you feel hopeless? Or like you picked a horrible time to fall in love? I could have died today, Carlos.
You want to pretend that we're 21 and it's just about sex.
Well, I don't have time for someone who just wants sex.
Not anymore.
Levine Look, if you don't love me back, fine.
I'm making this easy for you.
It's over.
We're finished.
Through.
Mystery man's name is Raymond Guay.
Raymond Guay? - Just got the prints back.
- That was fast.
Hey, I'm Dominican, baby; we work fast.
- I've heard.
- What did you get ? Awsome.
??? So, let's see what the computer says about our Mr.
Guay.
How ??? Remember-- a moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips.
It's just those Not much of a criminal here.
He was arrested a couple of years ago disorderly conduct.
Other than that nada.
So, why the name change? He's hiding from something.
So, we're going to take a ride to this address to see if someone knows what.
Ahora? But I just got my food.
Dominicano Ahorita.
Let's go.
Here she is now.
Sergeant Cruz? What's up? Raymond Guay.
Where is he? Who are you? You ran his name a half an hour ago.
How do you know that? You want to walk with me, Sergeant? Officer, you want to give us a moment? I'm Detective Rice, assigned to the JTTF.
Which means? Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Terrorism, hmm? Mmm.
Where's Raymond Guay? He's, uh, he's in a coma at Mercy.
I've been trying to reach his parents before he dies.
Okay, the hell with his parents.
I need you to get some uniforms over there and make sure he stays locked down.
Just 'cause you said so? Listen, Sergeant, the only reason I'm talking to you is because you are a sergeant.
Raymond Guay is number two on our most wanted list.
You mean he's a terrorist? Sergeant.
He's a homegrown terrorist.
He studied Islam at Berkeley, and then converted sometime after that, and he went over to radical fundamentalism.
He studied in a camp in Afghanistan in 2000, and we tracked him for two years.
And then he just disappeared.
We had a report that he was in Macao, but he must have slipped back in.
So, do you, uh, think he's responsible for this? I doubt it.
Why? A coffee shop isn't much of a target.
I mean, what were there, three, four people in here? It's a hell of a coincidence, then.
Ah, sometimes that's our best friend.
Yeah, well, I don't put a whole lot of faith in that.
Yeah, well, you don't really have to.
This guy went to the trouble of slipping back into the country with a fake ID so he can, what, buy some good muffins and work for a waste management company? "A waste management company"? Yeah, what? Uh That mean something? How do you know that? I, uh, I went there.
But it was, uh, under his fake name.
So, where is this place? Why don't you just, uh, tell me what you got on him? Where is it? This is my job, you know? Look, I've been allowing you to tag along on this, but I don't really have to.
Now, I don't want to be a hard-ass.
I'm NYPD too.
I could just have you locked up for withholding.
Oh, you're going to have me locked up? Under the Patriot Act.
I'm asking you to cooperate in this investigation.
If you don't do it, you're going to explain that to the government.
What you got? The gas company and fire marshal agree it was a gas leak.
Gas? The main went bad underneath the cafe.
It was leaking for a couple of days.
Someone goes out for a smoke-- boom.
I guess you were right.
Uh So, where is this waste management company? I'll take you.
I didn't want to be in this relationship in the first place.
So, let's not talk about it anymore.
She dumped me; I don't get dumped.
She's upset, Carlos.
She went through a traumatic experience.
Give her some time.
Why do women always need "time"? Would you stop lumping all women into the same category? Ben fell off the jungle gym, hurt his arm.
You guys beat us here? Yeah, what's new? Ah, let me see that.
Oh, that looks pretty bad.
It hurts.
Oh, we'll fix it up.
I want my mommy.
I left two messages with his parents.
She's on her way, little man.
He'll need X-rays; tell her to meet us at Mercy.
I can't leave the other kids.
How about I ride with you? You like that? Yeah? All right.
Come on.
Tell his mother to meet us at the hospital, all right? - More baby-sitting now? - Yeah, I guess so.
You okay, Sullivan? Yeah, why? You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders.
I'll try to perk up.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Emma, I'm sorry.
It's me.
I wasn't having the best day, and then they assigned me to guard this side dish without telling me why.
Listen, I sure could use a trip to the john.
Would you mind keeping an eye on him for a sec? No problem.
This guy isn't going anywhere.
No kidding.
Thanks.
So, what kinds of waste does your company manage? All kinds.
Medical? Yes.
Did Steven Brett ask for any particular runs? Uh, he liked hospitals.
I think he had a thing for the nurses.
Yeah.
Or the X-ray departments.
What? Do you collect cesium? Yes.
And how much do you handle a month? Uh about two gallons, or so.
How long did you say Steven worked here? Nine months.
That's a lot of cesium.
Okay, I need copies of all your daily logs of all your pickups and deliveries.
I also need copies from the disposal site so I can verify these numbers.
They're all fine.
My son keeps careful records.
Yeah.
Get them.
Cesium? It's a medical byproduct of an X-ray machine.
Yeah, and? And it can be used to make a dirty bomb.
A small-scale nuke.
What are you doing?! Sully, two men just got into your guy's room! Hey! Hey, stop right there! Hey, get! Go! Go! Hey! Stop! Hey, come here! Hey! Come here! Just stop! You stay right there! Stop! Hey! All right, stop! Stop! Just stop! Hey! Stop! Stop right there! Lay down on the ground! Hey! Stop! Stop where you are! Lay down on the ground! Get down on the ground! No! No! At least it's not broken.
I don't like it here.
I don't either.
It smells funny, huh? But your mom and dad should be here soon.
If something happens to me again, will you come get me? Well, you plan to fall off the monkey bars again? No.
But if I do? Tell you what.
I'm going to give you my phone number and if you ever need anything, you call me.
There you go.
Are you okay, honey? Hi, Mommy.
It's just a sprain.
Thank you for waiting with him.
No problem.
Take care, champ.
How you doing? I'm all right.
Carlos told me about your dad.
He and Davis are roommates.
Right.
I forgot.
Maybe you want to grab a drink after work, or something? You know, if you need someone to talk to.
No, no, I'm fine.
I'm all right.
Okay.
I thought you were going home.
Are you okay? I came back to see Luis.
He didn't make it.
I'm so sorry.
Hello? Brendan? Dad? I apologize if this foolishness has caused you any trouble.
Well, what happened when you went down there? I missed my appointment.
What? I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.
Dad, how could you miss the appointment? Aren't they going to come after you now? I want to say I'm proud of you and I love you.
Wait, what did you say? I said I love you.
Dad? Dad? Dad? Finney? What's up? Man, we got to go.
Why, what's up? So, who sent you after Raymond Guay? You speak English? Yeah, he speaks English.
What were you doing at the hospital? He speaks it, and he isn't going to answer you.
Okay.
That's fine, 'cause, you know, I got, uh I got all day.
Yeah, I guess he'd be good with that.
Who sent you after Raymond Guay? Help yourself here, brother.
Help yourself.
Can I see you outside, Sergeant Cruz? Aw, man, something is odd here.
Yeah, no kidding.
No, I'm talking about right here: these records.
Okay, according to the paperwork from the waste management company, all of the cesium was delivered and accounted for.
Really? Checked and verified.
Could it be bogus? Well, the destination facility would have to be on board with the disposal company and the inspectors.
I don't think that's possible.
So then what was this guy doing? I'm calling in the Feds.
What? This is a bona fide terrorist.
You let them take him to Guantanamo or somewhere to be professionally interrogated.
I know how to professionally interrogate someone, thank you.
These guys are extremely well trained.
It takes weeks and months of skilled work on these guys to get anything.
It's not about your abilities.
These guys can do things that you would never do.
Yeah? Like what? Like drugs.
Like other things.
There's a reason they're interrogated outside the United States.
We're turning him over.
I'm going to keep trying until they get here.
You going to tell me where we're going? Slow down, man.
Dad! Hey, Pop! Pop, you in here?! Dad! Hey, what's going on? He said, "I love you.
" What are you talking about? He's never said that before.
What are you talking about? Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad? Oh, God, come on Don't do this.
You son of a bitch, don't do this! Hey.
Heard about your friend.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Holly Wait, wait, it's not about the word.
What? Just because I can't say it back to you yet doesn't mean that you can just break up with me.
I'm letting you have what you want.
No, no, you're not going to blame this on me.
Fine, it's my fault, then.
Good-bye.
Wait, listen, listen.
For a while today, I thought you were in that explosion.
I knew you were going there.
I heard it come over the radio, and I My stomach flipped.
I freaked out.
I didn't know what to do.
I've never felt that way before-- worrying about someone like that.
What are you saying? Your story about Jerusalem and the bombs, everyone calling their loved ones Who did you call, Holly? I got out of the bus and ran the last five blocks.
I was afraid, afraid that I'd lost you but you didn't call me.
You say "I love you," but you didn't call.
I-I was It's not about saying the word-- it's about actions.
It's the best that I can give you right now, and if that's not good enough for you, then I am sorry, but it's all that I can give you.
We got to call it in.
Not yet.
Well, we have to.
- Davis - It's done, man.
Let's call it in.
What about my mom? His pension.
- If they find him like this - Brendan There's nothing we can do, man.
What are you doing? He was working on his car.
What are you doing, man? He always worked on his car.
Finney He forgot to open the garage door, right? Finney My sister and little brother shouldn't have to pay.
Please, Ty.
Dirty his hands up.
How do you pop the hood on this thing? It's right there on the left.
Now, let's hurry up.
Come on.
Any word? They're sending a team.
Could be a while.
So, is it working? The task force.
I mean are we getting them? All the buildings that were standing on September 12th are still standing today.
Mm-hmm, but? Guys like this are working hard every day to change that.
Yeah, but how do you fight an enemy whose only purpose in life is to die? Their purpose is to kill as many of us as possible.
Dying is just one of the methods.
How do you fight it? A little luck, coincidence, preparation.
Just got to be willing to work harder then they do.
So it never ends, just Always Hey, wait a minute.
Hold on, hold on.
Get up.
Get up! God! How could I miss this? Get up, I said! Get up! Get up! Take it off! No! Come on! Take it off! - What is that? - That's radiation burns.
He's contaminated! And so is everybody who's been in contact with him.
