Third Watch s06e13 Episode Script

The Other 'L' Word

Previously on Third Watch: 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.
Captain Finney, I wanted you to see the gravity of your situation as it relates to the murder of Officer Tyrone Davis, Sr.
I suggest you turn yourself in to your police department and bring a lawyer.
I'm having a bunch of tests done this afternoon.
My release date's up to the neurologist.
Can you help with this one? Steven Brett.
Steven is not Steven? Not according to the real Steven Brett's wife.
Looks like identity theft.
Mystery man's name is Raymond Guay.
Detective Rice, assigned to the JTTF.
Which means? Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Terrorism, huh? Where's Raymond Guay? He's, uh, he's in a coma at Mercy.
Two men just got into your guy's room! Hey! ??? No! I wanted to say I'm proud of you.
And I love you.
Wait, what'd you say? He said, "I love you.
" What are you talking about? He's never said that before.
Dad.
Dad.
He was working on his car.
What are you doing, man? My sister and little brother shouldn't have to pay.
Get up! What is that? Radiation burn.
He's contaminated! You need to talk to me.
I'm trying to help you.
If it's radiation, I need to know how long ago you were exposed.
Stupid son of a bitch.
He has what? It could be radiation poisoning.
Is anyone else in danger? We don't know exactly what it is we're dealing with here.
We need to contact the morgue.
Tell them have HazMat take a really good look at the guy who jumped from the roof.
He's contaminated too? They were together.
EMS is on the way for the guy upstairs.
- What did you tell them? - That we have a sick prisoner.
You didn't mention radiation? I'm not even sure if that's what it is, and I don't want to cause an unnecessary panic.
HazMat is on the way.
HazMat is going to overrun my precinct and that's not going to cause a panic? You got a sick prisoner? Yeah, in interrogation.
What's wrong with him? We're not certain.
That's a weird ring tone.
It's not my cell phone.
The rad dosimeter.
What? Two rems.
- Radiation? - One rem.
It's going back up.
Two three Wait, it's three, and it's getting stronger? I got five.
What the hell is going on here? Is it still on him? Lift your shirt.
Lift your shirt! You sick son of a bitch.
Get up! Lift your shirt.
I'm not going to say it again.
I'm not playing with you.
Here! Don't hand it to me.
Throw it on the floor! What is it? Whatever it is, it's making these things go crazy-- 50 rems.
We have to evacuate this building immediately.
Move! Move! Nice shirt.
We got to evacuate.
We have to get out of here.
All right, listen up! We're going to evacuate the station house.
I want all civilians outside now.
Put any suspects into the prisoner vans.
We'll set up in the firehouse across the street.
Let's do it quickly, but don't panic! Third watch Season 6 - Episode 13 The other L word Is there something else I should be doing, 'cause that stuff was all over me.
You already washed up, changed your shirt I don't think there's anything else you can do.
How the hell could you not tell us this guy was contaminated? We didn't know for sure.
His teeth were falling out onto the table.
You thought it was a cold? This is a delicate situation here.
So are my testicles.
I might want to have a family one day.
If we don't stop guys like this you may never see a "one day.
" Your testicles All right, it's clear.
- You can bring him out.
- About time.
But not transport him yet.
I have protocols to follow.
He is not leaving this area until we find out exactly what is going on here.
- He might die.
- He is a prisoner, and he's not cleared to leave, Sergeant.
- Yes, Sir.
- I'll be across the street.
This guy wouldn't worry about you.
- So what? - I am not getting in the bus with this guy.
You need to be checked out, too, Carlos.
All of us do.
We were all exposed.
Gee, you think that's why they didn't want us across the street with them? Believe me, we're better off.
Big screen fully stocked kitchen, beds.
This is work? No, work is being on the third floor of a burning building.
What fat-ass cop ate the last of the coffee cake? - What did you say? - You heard me.
He's got a thing for his coffee cake.
Fat-ass? He didn't mean it.
Did you, D.
K.
? No.
He's skinny.
He's practically skeleton.
??? Why don't we talk about your stupid coffee cake outside, bucket-head? Let's go.
Sullivan, these guys could have let us stand outside all night.
That means I gotta listen to his crap? Whoa! You got DVDs! Clean yourself off.
You want to go down there? Brendan? What? Want me to take you to the morgue? No, I need to stay with my mother.
All right, give me your radio.
I'll sign you out.
Davis, thanks for, uh You know, thanks.
Yeah.
I can't believe this.
We have to get moving.
I'm going to talk to a lawyer about suing them.
It's been almost an hour.
They can't just call us into something like that and not tell us what they think it is.
We're supposed to sit out here and let him die? They got some responsibility in that? This guy wasn't carrying that package around for nothing.
He's a mule.
He was supposed to deliver it somewhere.
So why didn't he? Apparently killing Raymond Guay became the priority.
What could he know that would make him so important that they would divert what they were carrying? When he wakes up, we'll ask him.
Something's not right.
Something doesn't fit.
You didn't need to jump in.
You needed help.
I should have searched him better.
I was with you.
You know he's about to check out.
Good.
Let him die.
We need someone to tell us which way to go next.
These things involve more than two or three people.
If they're making open deliveries like that, this plan is in motion.
No one likes that stuff sitting around them.
We confirmed the packet is radiological, but it's contained and it's not airborne.
So then everyone can go back to the house? No, not yet.
We're not equipped to handle radioactive stuff.
We have a DOE team on its way.
They're about 40 minutes out.
What about the patient? If it's contained, can we take him to the hospital? Let your lieutenant know.
You know how easy my job would be if the perp was always the twisted guy with the creepy voice? You got any chips? No.
In that whole kitchen? Yeah, in the whole kitchen.
How do you watch a movie without any snacks? A team from the Department of Energy's en route.
ETA: 40 minutes.
Call me bucket-head one more time! How 'bout bucket-boy? Come on, Sully! Knock it off! We need to take our patient to the hospital.
I do not want a contaminated guy moving all around this city.
I'm sorry, Lieutenant.
Our protocol is to take an exposed patient to the hospital right away, and it's been almost an hour.
Your cops need to go, too.
Cruz and that other guy.
Yeah, but we're busy.
They have to be screened.
You had bodily fluids all over you.
All right.
Go.
- But we got - Now.
Who is this? Maroon Five.
They're good.
It's catchy.
What? Nobody ever says "catchy.
" What do they say? Uh, tight, hot.
A hundred other things, but never "catchy.
" Okay.
It's tight.
You should probably go with "catchy.
" All righty, come to Mama.
You picked them all up for three fives? No, I picked them all up 'cause of the possibilities.
I'm out.
Do I ever beat you at this anymore? You hold too many cards.
That's how you get the points.
Captain Cathal Finney was found dead earlier this evening at his Douglaston home.
A department spokesman says that foul play is not suspected.
In other police news, we're getting reports that the 55th Precinct has been evacuated at this hour.
We have no details yet as to why, but What does that mean? That means I'm glad I'm not working tonight.
It's your deal.
Allah, give me strength.
What do you know about this? What do you mean? How long was this guy exposed? I don't know.
How bad is he? There's really nothing we can do.
Looks like everything is failing.
This is This is for fluids.
I don't think he's into your assistance.
Look, I just want to give you something to make you more comfortable.
It's for the pain.
I don't know what that means.
He's not talking to you.
Do you understand this language? I don't have to.
He's not gonna let you give him anything for the pain.
He's afraid we'll question him once he's loopy.
You're dying.
And as much as you're suffering, don't you want someone to know why? Don't you want your voice to be heard? You can shut it down, Carlos.
What? We don't need the sirens.
So, long enough to be fatal? Apparently.
Should we take him inside? We probably shouldn't take a chance on contaminating everyone in the hospital.
Now you're concerned about contamination? I never said I wasn't concerned.
Carlos? Holly, stay the hell away from me.
Okay.
Sorry.
No, that's not Holly, I didn't mean it that way.
Look, you shouldn't touch her now anyway.
Call her.
Hey, I'm awake.
I'm awake.
Mr.
Boscorelli Oh, Officer, please.
Officer Boscorelli.
Officer, I'm sorry I'm so late.
Not a problem.
I had an emergency.
It's all right.
How are you feeling tonight? Well, that depends on what you're about to tell me.
I have your electromyogram and nerve conduction studies.
I had all of that done? Oh, yeah, and then some.
I was worried about that last test.
I didn't I didn't study for it or anything.
You did fine.
Everything's in order.
Really? Your recovery is going remarkably well.
So, I can go home? I'm gonna fill out the order, and you can leave tomorrow.
And when can I go back to work? Work? Work When? Well, there are still a good many long-term neurological problems that we aren't gonna know about for some time.
Just going home is a major victory.
I mean, come on, Doc.
Help me out here.
A little positive thinking.
Uh, uh, you have progressed faster than I would have guessed.
There you go.
See.
Good.
I'll see you tomorrow? Definitely.
You better get here early.
I'm not staying a minute longer than I have to.
- Get some sleep.
- All right.
Thank you.
The hell with sleep.
Faith? What are you doing tomorrow? Dr.
Fields? Can we see you for a moment? Yeah, yeah.
I have Sure.
We need four radiation screens.
Radiation? We had exposure to a radiological substance of 50 rems.
About an hour duration for Detective Rice and Sergeant Cruz.
A little less for me and Carlos.
Everyone's alert.
No apparent symptoms.
Trauma 2 and 3.
Emma, I need blood.
Uh, full chem panel, all four of them right away, and I want it walked through the lab.
- You got it.
- Dr.
Fields? I have a DOA on the bus.
You do? He was a PD prisoner.
He died on the way over here from whatever we were exposed to.
He's the source.
I have to call in other agencies.
I'm not trying to hide anything.
Go get your bloodwork done.
Thanks.
Any news? Did you get into another fight? Between FDNY bitching about their coffee cake, and Jelly trying to talk them into giving up their chips, I'd rather be out here.
It should be over soon.
Never thought I'd want to get back into that crappy old building so bad.
You guys out to evacuate? Cruz and a detective from the JTTF brought in a contaminated prisoner.
I thought I was having a weird day.
Yeah? Yeah, C.
T.
Finney's dead.
What? He died in his garage.
He was working on his car.
Working on his car? Yeah, I'm gonna go park.
Davis! There they are.
Sully? All clear, Lieu.
All right, thanks.
Let everybody know we're going home.
Right.
So, what are you testing for? Dr.
Fields will write the order, but pretty much everything.
All right, here we go.
Ooh! You're a looker.
There's two types of people.
Some people watch the needle.
Some look away.
I've never been much for looking away.
That'll do it.
Hold that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Sit tight.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Thank you, thank you.
So, why do you do this? The task force.
Well, there's a thousand terrorists working real hard in this country every day trying to find ways to kill us.
I woke up on 9/11, and I knew that for me fighting them was the only thing worthwhile in law enforcement anymore.
There's other crimes.
Yeah, but if these guys win, who cares about a robbery? They won't.
Yeah.
Well, so far, we've been lucky.
I mean, if Raymond Guay didn't happen to get himself blown up today, I mean, that substance might have been delivered, and maybe there'd be a dirty bomb being put together right now.
I call that lucky.
Raymond Guay? You said we didn't have any leads.
We still have him.
In a coma.
People come out of a coma.
No, let's go.
Let's go check.
Maybe we Maybe we get lucky.
What about waiting? I've, uh, never been much for sitting tight, either.
No cell phones, Nieto.
That's staff only.
You can use the phone in the medic lounge.
It's an important call.
Soon as I take your blood, you can go to the lounge.
How would you like it if your boyfriend was trying to call to explain some misunderstanding, but some heartless nurse wouldn't let him use a phone? Don't have a boyfriend.
Well, maybe it's your attitude.
Emma, he is not gonna shut up.
Use the cell phone, Nieto.
Make it fast.
Should be a uniform.
Was Raymond Guay moved? - An hour ago.
- To where? The morgue.
See, and now we have nothing.
Holly, look, if you get this message, call me right away.
I might have been exposed to something, and-and I was only trying to protect you.
I didn't Look, just call me, Holly, please.
She'll understand.
It just came at a bad time.
Misunderstandings always do.
Have you heard anything on the blood test yet? It's gonna be a while.
They're sending a HazMat team for the guy in the bus.
Well, who Who called HazMat? The hospital.
I need a phone.
Are you out of your mind? - Look, boss, I-I didn't even - Three terrorist suspects-- - not one phone call? - Three? The man who jumped off the roof of this hospital today had cesium taped under his arm.
You knew that, right? I only told the morgue to check.
Do you think you're alone out here? No.
I notified the Feds.
Did not notify me.
- It's been a really confusing day.
- Yeah? Well, how's this for clarity? Go back to the office immediately.
See, we had a chance to stop a major threat here, Rice.
Now, we're back at square one.
If an attack occurs, it's at your door.
A thousand terrorists, and it's at my door.
How's that for luck? Marion I am so sorry.
Thank you for coming, Deputy.
Such a tragic accident.
He would be honored that you took the time to stop by.
He was a good cop-- Cathal-- and a great man.
We're all going to miss him.
You should be very proud of your father, son.
I am.
Good.
Who is he? Deputy Chief McInerney.
He and your father were close.
Oh, yeah? He was your father's direct superior.
That doesn't make 'em close.
Davis.
You didn't have to come.
It was in the paper.
My mom knows we're partners.
If I didn't show up, she'd ask questions.
What, so she doesn't know? No.
She made this.
Oh, here.
I keep getting this feeling everybody knows.
Of course they know.
Brendan, the man was "working on his car" in a suit.
They're professional police officers.
It doesn't matter that they know.
This is this is what they do.
They all showed up at my house, too.
I was seven years old, but I can still see 'em whispering to each other, looking at us.
They all knew my dad had another family.
They knew he was taking money.
I'm sure some of 'em knew the guys who killed him were right there in the room.
Nobody says anything.
If the story's at all plausible and makes 'em look good, they all go with it.
It's what they do.
I got to go.
Got to go to work.
Hey, boss.
Going to be my driver today? You're not with the task force guy? Nah, that's over.
So, uh, you're okay, right? I mean, the radiation was all cool? Yeah.
Blood tests looked all right, but they got to monitor us for a little while.
Did you guys figure out what was going on? No.
So you're just going to let it go? Hey, how 'bout you just not ask me any more questions? Sorry.
Okay, let's go.
There's a purse snatch pattern on Fifth Avenue I want to work.
Let's go.
Yes, ma'am.
Leave it.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
You should wear the sweater.
Mom It's cold outside, honey.
I want to feel the air.
Well, I don't want you to catch a cold.
She's right.
Oh, Mom, this is Dr.
Lane, my brain specialist.
Well, thank you so much for taking such good care of him.
Oh, he did most of it.
He's a he's an excellent patient.
And listen to your mother.
You should avoid infection.
Wear the sweater.
All right, all right.
I've got a little bit of paperwork to do, and then you can go.
Should be half an hour.
Okay.
Thanks, Doc.
She's so pretty.
She didn't have a ring on her finger.
No kidding? No.
So, how close are we to being ready? I'm ready.
I-I've been ready.
- Uh Bosco, it's okay.
- Sorry, Em.
I was just I was just surprised.
It's okay, sweetie.
I'm sorry.
Rose, this is my daughter Emily.
Emily, this is Bosco's mom.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Thank you both so much for coming here today.
How you doing, Bosco? I'm good.
Just fixing this bandage.
All right.
We'll just wait out here for you.
Grace I'm so sorry, Brendan.
Well, how-how'd you find out about this? I read it in the papers.
The police station gave me your address.
Um, would you rather I-I didn't? Oh, no, no, no.
I'm glad you came.
I didn't bring anything.
Oh, we're never going to eat all this.
Is-is is there anything I can do? Oh, no, no, you're doing it.
Thanks for coming.
Story's all over the papers today.
Yup.
Imagine accidentally dying right before you're supposed to turn yourself in for a murder.
Don't don't do this, Sull.
- Well, I'm just saying - Just don't.
You must see the irony Stop! You tell the boss I'm going to be a few minutes late.
Yeah.
Sorry I can't stay any longer.
Nah, go to work.
I mean, we're good.
Are you? Yeah, come on.
I'm a tough guy, remember? I remember.
Your mother's sweet.
She liked you.
Well, I have that effect on mothers.
Is that right? So I'm told.
I bet my father would've liked you.
Brendan You know, the truth is I don't know if he would've liked you or not, 'cause I didn't really know him.
We talked all the time, had a thousand meals together, family vacations We spent hours together, and I had no idea who he really was, you know? It'll come to you.
What? I haven't seen my mother in years.
When I first moved out I couldn't think of one single thing I knew about her.
Didn't have one happy memory.
But, after a while, I-I got far enough away from the pain to see the good things, you know? Give it time, Brendan.
It'll come to you.
I'm sure you know him better than you think you do right now.
You're a lot smarter than me, Grace.
Don't forget it.
All right.
I'm ready when you are.
All right.
I don't need that thing.
Ah, hospital procedure.
Well, it's not happening.
I'm not getting in that thing.
Well, we're, uh we're having chicken fingers for lunch.
If you're staying, I can order you a plate.
Fine.
And wait, Doc, I just wanted to tell you I appreciate what you've done for me.
Yeah, my pleasure, Officer Boscorelli.
Thanks.
Home.
Take me home.
Good luck.
Have a nice life.
I'll be just one minute.
All right.
Emily.
Will you push that elevator button for me? I'm walking out of here, Faith.
I know you are.
Without any help.
You can have his chicken fingers.
Where'd you park? Right out front.
That's 5-5 David.
How'd you do that? What, do you think I'm not going to go all out for my partner? Thank you.
Thank you, Faith.
Come on, we got to hurry up before Swersky finds out.
I'll let you play with the lights and sirens.
How's that sound? Out, sunshine.
Let's go.
Hey, Sarge, you ever find any family on that guy from the explosion? Which one? Uh, Steven Brett.
You know, the guy you were looking into? Oh, that wasn't actually his name.
It wasn't? No.
Why? I don't know who to notify about his car.
That's his car? Registered to Steven Brett.
It was parked out in front of the cafe.
Okay, tape this off, Sully, and, uh, get Crime Scene.
Find me Rice.
Tell him we just got lucky.
So, what's the emergency? Know what that is? No.
This is Mr.
Raymond Guay's car.
You're kidding.
It was in front of the cafe.
They towed it here 'cause there was no one to claim it.
How badly burned is it? Well, not bad enough to, uh, to damage this.
I figured out what was wrong.
What didn't fit.
Yeah? Raymond Guay was gathering the cesium from the waste management runs to give to the mules, okay, but why didn't the medics' meter things on their belts go off when they took from the explosion to the hospital? He should have had it on him.
He damn sure didn't have the packets, 'cause it would have went crazy.
He didn't even have particles on him.
He never even touched it.
So, what if the mules weren't at the hospital to kill him, but because they were supposed to deliver the packets to him, they go to the cafe, find it's blown up.
What did they do? They don't know what to do.
'Cause he had the address.
I bet if you run that through those fancy computers of yours, you'll find out some crazy stuff about who lives there.
I can't believe she won't even talk to me.
You were pretty rough on her.
You're the one that said to call her.
Have you gone by her place? No, I I don't know.
I didn't want to seem, you know, stalkery.
"Stalkery?" You're dating; you had a fight.
She probably expects you to at least make an effort.
This is why I like to leave before they wake up.
You know, just That's real, real nice.
Uh, all right, look, I'll take you there.
Uh the guy we're going to want to get hold of is the bomb maker.
The explosives expert.
Oh, so, they have specialties, huh? Don't we all? So, what's yours? That's our ESU team right there.
When the rest of the task force is in position, we'll move on it.
stand by for our signal.
ESU LEADER: Ten-Four.
Standing by ??? This was good work.
It was Sully who inventoried the car.
I just kind of Wait.
That's Abdul-Mohammed Fatwah.
Who's he? He's the expert.
All units move in.
Where's Fatwah?! Where's Fatwah?! Guns! We got guns! Go, go.
Get this door! Put down the gun! You got nowhere to go, Fatwah! Put down the gun! You okay? Did I get him? Yeah, you got him.
I'm going to get help.
an officer down, 168 and Foch.
Officer down.
You talk to her? No.
What happened? She left me a note on the door.
What does it say? That I was right, and that she's going home.
"Home"? Where's home? I don't know, Grace.
I don't know.
Adam 55-3, we have a police officer shot at 168 and Foch.
You all right? I'm fine.
You know, he woke up after 9/11, and wanted to make sure it never happened again.
All I ever thought about was why is everyone so surprised? Of course bad things happen.
I deal with it every single day.
I wasn't surprised that those guys could kill thousands of people.
That's what we do to each other.
Did you know that I didn't receive a single message that day? I didn't call anyone either.
Well, you got to change that.
You are a beautiful lady, and I'm pretty sure there's plenty of padrones out there Don't forget I'm your sergeant.
You guys make a good couple.
You are a lousy matchmaker.
I tried.
You, uh, need a ride back to the house? No, I'm cool.
I'm just going to hang out here and wait for a while until he wakes up.
And I have my car.
Remember, there ain't nothing wrong with a woman making the first move.
Leave.
Yes, ma'am.
Is my husband here? - What's his name? - Dante Rice.
He's a police officer.
Yes, he's in there.
The doctors are working on him.
Oh, my God.
He's going to be okay.
Who are you? Um, Sergeant Cruz.
I was part of his team, uh, just, uh, temporarily.
We got a four-year-old at home.
I don't know what I'm going to tell him.
Tell him his father is a hero.
And that he's definitely a lucky man.
He's going to pull through.
Uh, Sergeant Cruz? Uh, something came up on your blood test last night.
Yeah, but this is I know what the test showed.
This is advanced.
Very.
- Are you receiving any treatment? - No.
- You know, some forms of - Not this one, okay? Do I have any sort of privacy rights here? You can't tell anybody what's on here, right? It's confidential, but Thanks.
Dr.
Fields, we need you in 5.
