Previously on 3rd Watch.

Go tell your boy the cops are here. Dully.

What? We need to slow down. Look, Davidson, if you want to wait in the

in the car.

You're going to jail, you smoke -son of a bitch.

Oh, my God.

You almost got me killed so you could prove to your wife that your Johnson's

bigger than some scales and that you wouldn't listen to me when all I wanted

to do was slow down and think.

Tatiana, no, wait, please, wait. No!

Where are you going to go?

I don't know. Well, when are you coming back?

Tatiana!

By the power vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband

and wife. You may kiss the... You

ready?

Yeah, just give me a minute.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

This guy, this buddy, this Bosco's been saying, you know, he's good.

O'Malley? The best.

He's not into all that touchy -feely crap either. He's more of a tough love

approach.

You think that's what Bosco needs?

Well, he's not exactly warm and fuzzy.

No, but, you know.

I got my husband at home and you got your wife.

Bosco, you know, what's he got?

My wife.

I'm sorry, Sully. I had no idea.

Nobody knows. They haven't told anyone.

Not even Davis?

No.

Well, how could she just disappear?

She's smart. She's hiding.

You know, I find myself driving around Brighton Beach all hours of the night,

popping in and out of bars and restaurants out there, just on the odd

You're a needle in a haystack.

If somebody's rushing joints, you go in. You act like you're the foreigner.

I'll tell you what, you have a better chance of running into Tchaikovsky.

I just hope she's safe wherever she is.

She and Sergei could have gone back to Ukraine by now, for all I know.

You'd think INS would have, like, a list, you know, where they can keep a

of people's comings and goings.

Yeah, I guess.

It's Park.

They're headed toward the back of the playground at 113th.

Leave me alone!

Why can't you just leave me alone? Drop the gun!

Sam, drop the gun! the gun down!

I had an aunt that lived around the corner there. We used to play in that

when we were kids.

Come over here!

Come over here! Come over here!

Come over here!

Come quick!

Okay, okay, get out of the street!

They said we can go. Good. They're almost done.

Lorenzo from Mom's side said this was the second little girl inside a month.

They found some other little girl downtown from Junkies Kids. She was all

dressed up like it was Easter Sunday.

All laid out in a box like that? Yeah.

You ever think you've been a cop too long?

Every day. So?

I just want to get back to the house.

You all right?

I feel sick.

You want me to drive?

No. I just...

Stick, I need to go home.

I don't know.

Yocas tells me she's finishing solo.

Yeah, I think I'm just coming out of a touch of the flu or something.

You didn't get a flu shot?

Or something like it.

Sully, that little girl you found.

It's not that.

I mean,

it was horrible.

You've all been dealing with an awful lot this year.

So cut yourself a break.

I'm going to rotate you off the street for a while. No, boss, really.

It's not a big deal. It is to me.

I'm just... I'm going to be okay.

I just need to, you know, lay down for a little while.

I'm sorry.

Hey, no need to be sorry.

Boss.

Sometimes I just don't get these people, you know?

Yeah, me neither.

You lied to me.

No, wait, please, wait! No!

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry.

Sam, back off!

Leave me alone!

Don't kill me, Mary! Leave me alone!

You've got to be afraid of me!

Raise your tone, raise your tone.

Well,

hey.

There's no Father Marino over there.

What about him?

Send him a drink.

No, that's okay. He's good.

Good? You think he's good, huh?

Your father's a friend to us here.

You, I don't know.

Now you know me, okay?

Now send a good father one or whatever he's having, will you?

Beer. A beer.

Hello, Father.

It's been a long time, John.

I figured I'd find you here.

I suppose I am something of a regular.

There's nothing regular about you.

You hungry?

No.

Get these coming, will you?

Where's your collar?

I don't wear it all the time.

I used to appreciate something on advertising.

What can I do for you?

Happened to cruise by McHenry Park today.

Realized it's the first time I've been by there since that night.

Guess I've been avoiding the place all this time.

Sort of the way you've been avoiding me.

John, you have to know that no one can see the end from where it began.

I just finished mopping the chapel, Father, so be careful.

I slip and hurt myself. You're going to have to answer to my boss, you know.

I'll make a good act of contrition.

Have a good evening, Manuel.

If you'd only die when that fireman dropped him, he'd have gone out a hero.

closed. Apparently, that wasn't God's plan.

God?

What was his plan?

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Explorations rapid.

BP 100 over 70. Severe... It's all right, it's all right. Just breathe

nice and easy and we'll get right there. All right?

Hey, what's your name?

Rina.

Rina? Is he dead?

No, no, man. It's going to be fine. It's going to be fine.

He's breathing is shallow.

BP 100 over 50. He's got too many contusions to count.

You guys tell me what happened?

Get out of here. Get out of here. Someone said this guy saved a little

Beat it. Beat it. Get out of here. Get her out. Get the camera out of here. Get

her out. Look, the man is hurt. Get the camera out of here, all right? Get out

of here. Can we get this camera out of here? Hey.

I'm not going to say please.

I'm just doing my job. Yeah, do your job from over there where you're supposed

to be.

Are you going to move yourself or do you want me to move?

Father, isn't that the maintenance man from the parish?

Yeah.

He's our janitor. Good guy, I know him. Man, he's... This is the wife of Lisa.

He's a good hand.

Doc,

I can't get him to stabilize.

He's only got one lung working full time.

Good hands. Here come the guys from 18.

All right.

She's got severe smoke inhalation. She's only got one lung working full time.

Her name's Rena. Hey, keepers are dilating out of range. We got to roll.

go. Excuse me, father.

Here we go.

Ready? One, two, three.

Where are you taking this? To the hospital, ma 'am. Which hospital?

Angel of Mercy Hospital. You can ride with us.

Grab him in.

Hold that. Let's go.

It's not for us to understand the trial God put him up there.

Trials?

How about the trials he put that family through? Man, his wife.

Alicia. Alicia.

A lot of good people got hurt, Father.

Hospital's not far.

Live in the neighborhood, ma 'am?

No, I'd just like to come pick him up from work when I can.

How long you guys been married?

22 years.

He's always late for dinner because he's out helping a friend fix a broken

window or getting groceries for the old ladies in the neighborhood.

Sounds like a good guy. I just wish he'd take as good care of himself as he does

others.

He's going to be okay, you know.

This is a good hospital.

And expensive.

I don't know how we're going to pay for this.

Paul, I doubt if you'll have to. I mean, once this hits the news, there's going

to be all kinds of support.

Especially if they find out you can't pay his medical bills. Manny's a hero.

No.

I'm sorry.

We're very private people.

Manny, most of all, he doesn't want any credit. He's shy.

TV cameras were at that fire.

People are going to be talking about what your husband did.

Can't you stop them?

Man, he saved a little girl. You know, people want to thank him for that.

Hey, we're all finished, though.

Okay.

Well, listen, we've got to go back to work.

Can't you talk to them?

Look, you just concentrate on getting Manny healthy again, okay? I mean, all

this other stuff is out of your hands anyway.

The important thing is he's going to be okay.

Right?

Okay.

Some people are just like that. Not

everybody wants to have a parade now.

Hey, I'm not talking about a parade. I'm just talking about a simple thank you.

I'm sure the parents of little girly babe will take care of that.

I tell you what we ought to do.

Pass the hat at the firehouse, pass the hat at the precinct, whatever we come up

with, we give it to them.

You in?

Yeah. Nothing major. You know, just a simple acknowledgement.

Job well done. Because Mike can't object to that.

Right? Right.

Of course she couldn't say no. She wasn't there.

No Manny, no wife, no explanation.

They just checked out of the hospital that night. No forwarding address, no

to reach them. They were afraid.

And I went to one person who knew what they were.

A person I thought I could trust.

Oh, Father.

Officers. What's up?

Went by the hospital last night to talk to Manny, and he wasn't there.

Wasn't there? No.

I noticed he was pretty banged up, too, but he just took off. Didn't tell

anybody.

Any idea where we can find him?

What for?

Well, we're getting together a little get -well basket, you know, some

for him and his family. I don't know where he lives.

Have you got an address?

I don't know.

Well, he works here, right? I mean, you got it in the office somewhere. He's a

very private man.

We're talking about a meatloaf and a bottle of wine and a hundred bucks here,

Father. Look, if he's illegal, we're not going to report him to the INS or

anything. You don't have to.

Bring me the basket.

I'll take it to him.

Sure. I'm going over there anyway. I'll make sure he knows it's from you.

Okay.

Thanks. We'll bring him by tomorrow.

Thanks, Father.

What was that all about?

Yeah, I'm just fine now.

We got both from the hospital with no forwarding. We got the priest.

No information on his own employee.

Maybe he's right. Maybe, man, he's just a private guy.

Nothing more than being private.

He's got to be hiding.

Hiding?

Who would a guy who mops floors in a church be hiding from?

Didn't have to wait long to find out.

5 -5, Charlie. Descent to the 10 -84.

47 -83.

Crazy bitch!

Hey, I've been shot here! You want to help me out?

You got nothing, crazy bitch! You want to help me out here?

Get to my ass! Get off me!

God!

This man tried to kill my husband. Why?

Why?

I'm the one who's been shot here. What are you doing, man?

This is 55 Charlie.

I have a male shot at this location. I need to get an ETA on EMS.

EMS on the scene. Who shot you, sir? What's going on? This wet back hag's

husband. Hey, hey.

No. Come on.

No, no, no. Get her back.

Get her back. Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth, all right?

Are you saying Manuel Velez shot you? Yeah, he shot me with my own gun.

Where's the gun now?

Wherever he is, probably.

Mrs. Velez? This man came here to take my husband away.

Manuel and him started fighting. He pulled out his gun, but Manuel got it

shot him. What do you mean,

take your husband away? What the hell's going on here?

Look, my ID and my concealed weapons permit are in my wallet right here.

My name is Bill Stram, the enforcement agent.

Pelez is a wanted fugitive from California with a $20 ,000 bounty on his

which I am here to collect.

Come on, Sully, here we are.

Hey, gentleman, I'm shot.

Cut up, all right?

Yeah.

No need to keep me in the cage, man.

Hey, it's not every day we get a Cracker Jack like you getting shot with his own

pee. I was too nice. Next time I see him will be the last time I see him. That's

a premeditated murder, Strand.

Deadly force is allowed in my profession if I feel like my life's in danger. You

never shot a man?

Your professional police work is about finding ways to avoid using your service

weapon, right, Bosco?

Well, now, that doesn't sound like much fun.

So let's say you find Velez and he wants to give himself up. What do you do

then? Misinterpret his actions.

Sergeant wants to see you.

Hey, wait up.

I'm Officer Trabascarilli.

That's my Irish name.

So you're a bounty hunter? Bail enforcement agent.

Tonight's job was a simple reward.

Simple? Forty -year -old Janet, I shot you with your own gun and his wife

your ass.

Athens. How'd you find this guy?

Channel 4 News.

His name and face were posted on the internet site I hit a couple times a

I've had his face on file for about a year or two.

So wait, how do you like the job?

Well, there's no dental, but I make a hundred grand a year and I don't have to

knock first like you guys. Wait a minute, wait.

You make $100 ,000 a year.

Yeah, stay down over there.

Look, I was a patrol cop in Denver for eight years.

I was getting tired of having to prove I knew some dirtbag raped a girl, some

kid shot some old lady. Yeah, that zany due process thing.

The process doesn't work, man. Sully, the guy was a badge.

How'd you get started?

Took a course in Vegas. I got licensed.

What I liked was having the freedom of not having to bend over to assure the

rights of lowlifes.

I don't need a warrant.

Or probable cause.

And anyone I go after has already been arrested by a peace officer and they

stone guilty enough to run.

I bag them. No questions asked. It's beautiful and it's legal.

He lied to me.

Manuel Velez is no angel.

But when he was 17, he went to Vietnam.

He served his country and was honorably discharged.

He was back only three days.

Some guys asked him to be their driver. He was the accessory to a homicide and

the commission of a felony.

You knew who this guy was.

He's wanted for murder.

He didn't pull the trigger.

That's not the point, Father, and you know it.

He was just a kid.

He screwed up and he ran.

But look what he's done with his life, a wife, children, a steady job.

He's a good man who made a mistake.

He's repented, asked for forgiveness.

He's paid God's price. That's not your call, and that's not the only price he

has to pay.

Have you seen him?

No.

If you're lying, you're an accessory.

I don't know where he is.

There's a bounty hunter here. He's looking for him.

If he finds him, he's going to kill him.

If you see him, tell him to turn himself in.

The only person shooting straight with me through that whole time was the guy I

trusted to lead me.

The bounty hunter.

At least I knew what he wanted.

Candor doesn't mean virtue.

You should have told me where he was. Maybe.

You should have told him. Maybe. I was trying to help him, and instead I killed

him.

I killed him.

I was trying to help him, too.

Hell of a job we did.

All we can do is try.

I should have listened to everybody else.

They all told me, I actually believe if you do good things, good things will

happen to you.

I actually believe that.

Davis, I'm saying the guy didn't have any choice and he got caught up in a

situation he didn't know anything about.

He's basically an innocent bystander. So what you're saying is that Velez

thought that these heavily armed buddies of his were going into the liquor store

to what?

By a lot of people? No, I'm saying the guy's made an honest attempt to make his

life right. Yeah, and the family of the dead lady dug a honest hole to bury her

in after she was murdered. There's no gray area here, so... Since he was

murdered, go to jail, that's it. Maybe he didn't even know what was going down.

Maybe he did.

Huh?

Maybe he did.

How long

is it going to take?

Just wait in the car.

Hi. Is your mommy here?

Celia, go finish your homework, okay, mommy?

He's not here.

Yeah, I didn't think he was.

What do you want?

I'm just... I'm trying to put a stop to this before it gets out of hand.

Manuel gets hurt.

Do you care what happens to Manuel?

I'm not sure.

It seems like your husband's making things worse by running.

You've given him no choice.

I didn't cause this trouble.

He did it to himself a long time ago. You want to protect him, is that it?

I want to arrest him before he gets killed.

Are you married, Officer Sullivan?

No. Do you have a family?

No.

Then you don't know what you're talking about, do you?

No. I'm here because I don't want everything he's done to go to waste.

Please.

Don't let them hurt him.

She asked me not to let them hurt him.

How's that for a bad decision?

I'd say she put her trust in the right man.

Really? He tried.

I failed, didn't I?

That another part of God's plan?

Making me his instrument of failure?

Officer Sullivan.

What the hell are you doing here, Stroud?

Just notifying the local authorities of my presence as a new law requires.

You haven't found him yet, have you? He's in the neighborhood. I'm close.

Just stay out of my way, moron.

Why the soft spot for this guy, huh? You're a badge.

No, I think I'm rooting for Willett simply because I can't stand you.

Hey, Sullivan.

I'll race you to him.

Your God puts people like that in the world, huh?

He also put people like you in the world.

Is that some kind of joke?

People like me.

Good people.

A good person.

That's who you think I am.

I've known you for some time, John.

You don't know me.

At least you come to your church sometimes by a book or raffle ticket

year. It was more than that. We talked.

And from that you think you know who I am?

Jonathan, let's go after them, please.

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

I'm the police.

You think I should be afraid of this guy?

This guy should be afraid of me.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

Oh, my God.

John! You hurt him! Hurting him? My partner just got taken upstairs with a

bullet in him. Because this little bastard sent us into an ambush. I warned

I beg you, don't go for a chip -checker! You don't listen!

Now get out of here!

If he dies, you're going to wish they killed you with that baseball bat.

You hear me?

You've dedicated your life to righting wrong.

Protecting people.

You ever listen to yourself?

What I dedicated myself to, what I tried to do, who gives a damn about any of

that? What matters are results.

What happened? How it ended?

How it ended.

Units in the 5 -5, shots fired at McKinney Park. Light it up.

Units in the 5 -5, Charlie responding.

Get out. Call for backup.

Take the car around the other side. Try to cut him off. Sully, we... Wait!

Sully!

Call for backup!

Central, this is 55 Charlie. We have the males running into the park at 114

requesting assistance.

They're moving toward the back of the playground, 113th.

Wait for the backup.

Davis, there's no time. Stram's closing in.

Leave me alone!

Damn it!

Why can't you just leave me alone?

Stram, drop the gun!

Stram, drop the gun!

Stram, drop the gun now!

You dumb bastard, you just cost me 20 grand, why'd you have to kill him?

Tell me,

what's going on?

I shot him, Ty.

I shot Manny.

5 -5, Charlie, we have a mail shot at the 96th Street Tunnel. Have EMS, post

supervisor respond on the rush.

I didn't know it was him.

There's nothing you can do.

Come on, Manny.

Come on.

He's gone, Sally.

Sally, let him go. Sally, let him go.

He's gone, Sally.

I killed him.

He had a gun aimed at you.

God's plan.

Apparently.

Well, he's making a hell of a mess of it, Father.

Tell me something.

Today, we come across a little girl, six, seven years old, who somebody has

killed and put into a cardboard box and left on the curve in the rain.

Now, where was your God when she needed him?

He created the lion and the lamb, the wheel and the woe. That's your answer?

This is somebody for us to follow now, somebody for us to worship. Maybe those

obstacles arise to strengthen our resolve. If you coast through life

difference, no effort whatsoever, you know what happens, don't you? Yeah, you

live longer.

But only to realize maybe you haven't really lived at all.

What happened to Manny wasn't your fault.

I mean, you know that, don't you?

You were trying to protect him.

Yeah.

Manny killed him.

A husband and a father.

Is that why you lost your faith?

Maybe I never really had any. We both know that's not true.

It's a tough year for faith, pal.

That makes it even more important.

We can't give up hope.

Hope. Manny had hope.

He tried to make amends, tried to live a clean life. What did he get him? Are

you saying that good men shouldn't die? I'm saying that bad things shouldn't

happen to good people all the time.

Not if you're loving and benevolent. God is doing his job.

Manny made a mistake, all right? He tried to fix it.

He tried to make up for it. He cared for people. He had a family, got married.

He tried to do the right thing. He ran into that fire to save that kid not

thinking about himself.

Did he have to lose everything?

What was he punished for? It was a mistake.

I made a mistake.

You?

What? You said you made a mistake.

I made a lot of them.

Such as?

Such as.

Tatiana is my wife.

My wife.

Where are you going to go?

I don't know. When are you coming back?

Tatiana!

Tried to love her, tried to protect her, and I drove her away.

Drove her away.

Manny, who I tried to protect, he's dead.

My partner is just a kid. I almost got him killed. How am I supposed to make

sense of all that, Father? There are no easy answers, John. Oh, come on.

What's important is what you do now.

Where you go from here.

The true measure of your character is how you respond to what you do with the

opportunity God is giving you.

Opportunity.

To realize how blessed you are.

If we don't have losses, if there are no trials, how are we to know

how important what we have is?

God is challenging you, John.

And you could be angry, bitter, defeated.

isolate yourself, become a drunk, a hermit, withdraw from life, or

Cully. I'll wake you up.

Yeah, what time is it?

I don't know. It's too late.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. What's up?

Have you been drinking?

A little bit.

I'm in.

I don't want to wake Carlos up, man.

No, he's at the hospital with the baby.

The baby?

Yeah.

How is the baby?

He's going to be all right.

Is he thinking about keeping her?

I don't know. It's a long story.

A long story.

God, this place is huge.

Yeah.

Two bedrooms?

Yeah.

How many square feet you got here?

So.

Sully. Is this really what you came here to talk to me about?

No. What's up?

I just wanted to tell you again how

sorry I am for what happened. I know. You said it already.

I want to make sure you heard it.

I did.

I heard it.

And I wanted to make

sure that you know that I love you.

Make sure you know that if anything ever happened to you, that I... Yeah, well,

I'm... I'm here, so... Thank God.

You know, I feel the same, so... Yeah?

Yeah, I wasn't too happy with you after it all happened, but... Hey, you know...

Partners, right?

Partners.

We're brothers, so...

I mean, you're like a much, much older brother.

Hey, what do you do?

More ways than one.

Anyway.

Anyway.

You want some tea?

No, I don't want any tea.

Just sit down.

Just for a second. I'm going to get out of your hair, okay?

Yeah,

I think you need to just crash out of here, man. No, I can't, man. I got to

out of here. No, I'm going to call Tatiana. I'll let her know you're here.

She's not there.

Where is she?

You told me so, right?

Told you what?

I'm riding solo again.

What?

Yeah, you never try.

What? What? She left you?

She left me the day you got shot.

Man, Sully, I'm sorry.

Look, we'll talk about it tomorrow, all right? We'll get some breakfast and

we'll talk about it. All right? Hey, come on. You're crashing here. Come on.

no, I got to get out of here. Come on. You're drunk off your ass. You're

here. You're staying here.

Get some breakfast.

Yeah, we'll get some breakfast tomorrow. Here.

Sleep tight.

Breakfast.

Good night.

Forgive me.

Yeah, I forgive you.

Are you

married,

Officer Sullivan?

Do you have a family?

glad you're home.

I'm so glad you're home.
