All language subtitles for Third Watch s05e21 Higher Calling

Previously on Third Watch.

Hi, I'm Mr. Martin.

I'm your brother Michael's attorney.

Listen to me and listen real close.

If you hurt my brother, I'm going to
kill you.

Well, he's dead.

You sure?

Donald Mann is a dangerous guy.

You can want to know who's responsible
for his son's death. Someone beat that

little girl into a coma. Aside from
severe head trauma, she has numerous

contusions and abrasions over most of
her body. Is she going to make it?

Probably not.

Hey, Fred, I'm sorry.

It's me. Are you okay?

Hey, baby.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, you didn't call. We were worried.

I didn't leave a message.

No, you didn't. Let's go. We're late.
I'm sorry.

I didn't call.

Um, it's been a really long night. I'll
explain later.

Can you put your dad on?

Dad? I said we're late.

Come on.

We're late for Charlie's game.

Yeah, I heard.

All right, I'll talk to you guys later,
okay?

Okay, bye.

Good afternoon. Hi.

How's she doing?

She's off the band, but no telling with
head injuries.

Yeah.

No telling.

Bosco, deal with Monroe today. Yocas
took a vacation day.

She won't leave that kid in the
hospital.

Boss, we got 600 for possession and
sales of narcotics. Be back in a minute

the pedigree.

Cruz is setting arrest records with that
ecstasy ring.

Nice score, people.

Very nice.

Don't tell me.

These are all Dolphin Ecstasy guys off
Mikey's info.

You should be proud of them. Every name
you've given us has been a home run.

Slow down.

You get the names, you sit on them a
while before you make a move. Are you

schooling me now?

Most of these guys know Mikey just got
college. All right, what, they start

falling too?

Not that. Not that smart. Smart enough
to know when they get to Rikers and they

look around, see who among them is
missing.

Your brother knew the risk going into
this, okay? If he's smart, he's laying

low.

Officer, a couple of things.

Narcotics and anti -crime are both in on
this because we got word that Donald

Mann may be trying to get back into the
country.

Father of Joey Mann. So what?

The late Joey Mann.

Dad is the big boss of the whole
operation.

And the more of his people we take down
now, the less damage he can do if he

gets back in. The only thing I'm
thinking about is my brother, okay?

were you, then I would be worried less
about Cruz and more about your brother's

lawyer who's down in lockup.

What about him? They say he's their
lawyer, too. And they're asking to see

You're still here?

Yeah, I was... Who's with Lester? Is he
okay?

Lester? You don't have him locked up, do
you? He hates confined spaces.

Jan, why are you even concerned about
where Lester is? Will they feed him?

he get his coffee? He really needs his
coffee. Jan!

You haven't even asked about your
daughter.

This is insane.

No update on my daughter, not a word
from the DA.

You've been playing both sides.

Fair enough. I have to spend the night
in this stink box on these...

He charges.

Your daughter is still in a coma, and
your wife is beat to a pulp.

I did not cause those injuries.

Yeah, but you do represent the same guy
as Mikey ratted out. You don't see a

conflict? I mean, what's to stop you
from telling them about Mikey?

Oh, this is great. First I'm accused of
abuse, and now of betraying my attorney

-client privilege?

Mikey's done with you.

I want all the records you got on him.
I'm not exactly in a position to give

them to you, am I?

You're going to be in a worse position
for the next five to 15.

Do you honestly believe that?

No, I mean, don't get me wrong. I was, I
was pissed at myself, but I don't know.

I guess things happen for a reason.

It's not like he failed the damn thing.
Yeah, but there's not a law school in

the country. They'll take a second look
at me with my score. Charlie responding.

There you go. All right.

Come on.

Come on, what?

Oh, you know, taking the LSAT is one
thing. Actually, going to law school is

another. No, no, no. You let it go.

Why? Don't. You got to go.

Destiny, huh? Yeah. You took the test on
the Lark, right?

You did great. That's destiny right
there. Me, I got more time to put in. I

more dues to pay. Time with Monroe, you
mean? I don't hate the job like you do,

okay? I see myself putting in a few more
years.

Wow.

Nice form, but he didn't stick the
landing. Purse doesn't match the shoes.

them. Right behind you.

Hey!

Just stop. I got you, man.

It's over, sir. You can stop running
now.

Stop. Damn it.

Stand down. Stand down. Stand down.
Where are you going?

Oh, it's so stupid.

Stupid. Stupid. Yeah, you are.

Where's Purse Snatcher on the planet?

Oh man, what is that?

I'm gonna stick around for a few more
years of this, huh?

You look terrible.

Bad Chinese.

I would have stayed home last night, but
I have to break in on a new medic

today. Oh, here we go. You're putting on
the bad Chinese routine, thinking

you're going to pawn a newbie off on me?

I'm not pawning anything off on you.

And I'm no newbie.

Carlos Nieto.

Grace Foster.

Hey, how you doing?

You know the 6 -8?

Yeah, one of the best beds to die
around.

The 6 -8 is a war zone.

GSWs, knife wounds, hammer wounds, ODs.
We had to hose down the inside of a bus

three times a tour.

Wow. It was non -stop medic heaven, and
I kicked its ass for three years. And

how did the city repay me?

With a transfer to this undermanned
country club.

Country club? Yeah. So, while I'm
figuring out how to get back there...

How about you do us both a favor?

Sure. One, I got a faith.

Two, don't even think of trying to be
friends. And three, don't ever let me

you refer to me as a newbie.

Got that?

That chick is... Oh, yeah.

So hot.

Hey, Faith. Hey.

You talk to the mom?

That woman's a mess.

She seems to respond to you.

Story of my life.

Unless we get her to testify, get the
conviction on Lester, it's going to be a

lot tougher.

What, the broken ribs and the bruises
aren't enough? Not to mention this one?

We need Jan in court pointing a finger.

What do you think?

What'll she say?

Damn, that is awesome.

You've got to be kidding me. See that
little rubbery thing?

Epiglottis and molecular.

It's all guts to me.

It's what keeps the food out of your
windpipe. The damn thing trips me up

time I intubate.

Hey, what do you guys got? Just hang on
a second.

These 5 '5 medics are hardcore.

All right, here they come. Let's go.

Ow! Oh, oh, easy, easy.

You know, I'm injured here.

Injured where?

My knee. I got an open wound.

You call that a wound?

Buddy, that's a wound. What you got is a
scrape.

Do you want treatment or not? Not if
you're going to make fun of me.

Sweetheart, let me get you a Band -Aid,
and then we're out of here.

Hey, look.

You can see what he ate.

Stop it.

Thanks for the transport.

Man, you guys got your hands full.

I'll have him waiting for you in lockup.
Thank you.

Unless you want to babysit this seat
while we take him in.

Yeah, no thanks.

Thanks, sir.

Go rest for the weary, huh, boys?

I don't know about that.

What you up to, Jelly?

About to be built.

Oh, lovely.

Yeah, I was just sitting on top of the
garbage.

No real effort to hide it.

Check out the skin.

Little puncture wounds all over the
place like he was tortured.

Somebody didn't like this guy.

What, the no arms, no legs, no head gave
that away?

You think I would turn on my husband? He
didn't do anything. We can protect you,

Jan. You know what? I don't want to talk
to you, okay?

I'll talk to her, but not to you.

I don't like her.

Yeah, I got that. She's a bitch.

Bitch!

Can I get a refill?

You drink a lot of water.

Ten glasses a day.

I thought the ideal was eight.

A ten is better.

Lester insists.

Does he? Yeah.

It's his nature, you know.

The way he dotes on me.

He's just a perfectionist, you know?

And that's exactly what I need.

You married?

Yeah.

Kids?

No. Really?

Why not?

I don't know. We just, um...

You know we haven't.

Imagine just for a minute, okay, that
you and your husband have a child, all

right? And she's really clumsy. She's
falling down all the time.

And this one time, she's in the next
room eating, and she falls.

Only you think she's choking on her
vegetables. So you call the police, and

say you hit her. You and your husband,
who wasn't even there. Can you imagine?

No.

But I can't imagine having those bruises
all over my body, either.

Ah, I'm just clumsy, too, is all.

Must run in the family.

You notice how I didn't ask you guys if
you touched anything?

See, now you're a couple of wily
veterans. What you're asking us now?

You got us, Davis.

Go ahead, give him back the leg.

All right, come on, that's a person
there.

That's a John Doe. Not anymore.

Oh. Oh, that's highly irregular.

So what's behind the identity?

Give me a print on that right away.

Don't you have to pee?

I hold it. Let the water do its thing.

Well, if you want to go, I won't tell.

He'd know.

So does Lester dote on Rebecca, you
know, the same way that he dotes on you?

No, not like with me.

I noticed that he gets to bring her to
work and takes her out to lunch.

Not always.

Does he ever take you?

Sure. How about you and Rebecca?

Oh, yeah, we get plenty of time together
with me homeschooling her. Yeah.

Yeah, that must be a handful.

Yeah, well, we have our moments.

Not so good moments?

Well, I wouldn't say that.

They're certainly never violent, if
that's what you're asking. No, I'm not.

was just curious, because I don't have
kids of my own.

Well, do yourself a favor.

Start with a boy, because mothers and
daughters are a whole different

Yeah, I know.

I mean, my mom and I used to really go
at it. Yeah.

Pick up the room, turn off the TV. Do
you want this dress or that dress? Yeah,

remember. And then poor Lester comes
home right at bath time, and the fun

starts.

Rebecca doesn't like to take a bath.

Oh, what's not to like? The little angel
gets all the hot water.

Yeah, how hot? Hotter than I get.

What, he makes you take a bath in cold
water? Not Lester, Rebecca.

The... She can be a vindictive little
thing.

You know?

Has Mommy had enough tub time,
sweetheart?

Is Mommy clean enough, darling?

Not yet, Daddy.

She thinks it's so hilarious.

Trust me.

Have a boy. Save yourself a lot of
heartache.

Rebecca, you're okay. We're talking
here.

I'll be right back.

And you don't come back.

You okay?

I swear, if you'd been like a second
longer, I think I was gonna scream.

You ready for some good news?

Rebecca's awake.

What? The daughter.

She's come out of that coma.

She'll be here for quite a while.

She's been through a lot.

Can she talk?

She's been asking for her father.

Hey, Rebecca.

Hey, my name's Diane.

This is Faith.

Yeah, we met before.

Where's my daddy?

Your daddy's just fine.

Can you tell us what happened? How you
hurt your head, do you remember?

I fell.

From where? Yeah, you must have been
pretty high up.

Where's my daddy?

How about your mom, sweetie? Was your
mom with you when you fell down?

I want to go home.

You will, just as soon as you're better.

Can I get a glass of water?

You started my paperwork?

You can owe me.

Careful, that's how it starts.

So how's the torso?

You mean our torso in hand.

You're kidding.

Whoa.

You found a hand now, too?

Yes, Lord, we found a hand. I swear I
should get a reward.

Thank you. Uh -huh. See ya. See ya.

You know, gentlemen, my new roommate
here has a point. The circumstances of

arrest should not be omitted from the
report, and I am feeling that he's due

some consideration from a judge.

You're the lawyer.

It's the lawyer with the kids, so... She
fell.

Yeah. Right, Counselor.

What did that bitch want?

Was it about Lester?

No. Well, when can I talk to him? Can't
I get a phone in here?

Rebecca's awake.

She's okay?

Yeah, she's more than okay. She's
talking.

What about?

Well, she pretty much backs up what you
said.

That it wasn't Lester.

See? I told you.

Yeah, she said it was you.

She said the last thing that she
remembers was you smashing her head on

floor. Why?

Oh, she's a vindictive one.

Of course she would say it was me. Why
would she do that?

Because she brought it on herself and
she knows it.

Please, Daddy, take me to work. Please,
Daddy, take me to lunch.

How many times did the poor man have to
say no?

How bad did she have to make him feel
before he finally snapped?

I mean, what did she expect?

So it was him.

No.

In the morning, before Lester went to
court, and you didn't call 911 until the

afternoon? What the hell were you
thinking, Jan? You're walking around

apartment, you're pretending like your
daughter isn't laying unconscious on the

floor? I don't understand. You're damn
right I don't understand!

Look, this is all part of her plan. Ever
since the day Lester brought her home,

she's wanted me out of the picture.

What do you mean he brought her home?

We were so happy.

And one day, he shows up with this baby.

He brings her into our home.

And things were never the same again.

Ever.

She's not even your child.

They got a donut downstairs?

No, we're just getting ready to take our
purse snatcher downtown.

Thought we'd stop by and see if you got
any ID back on those prints.

Hey, the Kreskin brothers.

They're going to be faxing me in a
minute.

Any more body parts turning up around
town?

Not yet, but they will be as soon as
they start stinking.

The only thing I'm not counting on is
the head.

That's the part nobody finds.

Hey, grab it.

Starting to look good to you?

What's that?

Detective.

We've been waiting on you a long time,
Sloth. I appreciate the thought, Jelly,

but I got other plans.

Yeah? Like what?

Zookeeper?

No, like law school.

Get out.

You?

Thanks a lot.

What is it?

Who is it?

You're awfully quiet tonight.

Bottom of my mind, I guess.

Like what?

You really want to know?

Let's get back out.

Uh -oh.

Look out.

What?

What'd I do?

Have a seat, Bosco.

What? What's going on, guys?

Bosco.

What's the matter?

You know that DOA we had earlier?

What about it?

We just got an ID, and, uh... And? It's
your brother.

Well, he's connected somehow?

No. Oscar, it's him.

Michael.

Matt.

This is wrong.

This... It's wrong.

You got the wrong call.

Roscoe, it's Michael.

I didn't talk to him yesterday.

Sorry, man.

You're wrong.

She's a house.

What are you doing?

Bastard. You son of a bitch.

Come on.

You son of a bitch.

I can kill you. You told him. I have to
give word to him. I have to give word to

him. How? How do they know?

Let him go. Let him go.

Let him go.

Oh, my God. You killed my brother. I
didn't know your brother was dead.

For what?

This is really awful.

Who gave Mester the baby?

I don't know. I never met the people.

But it was all perfectly above board and
legal.

Mester is a brilliant attorney.

And it's not only the affluent he
defends.

It's the underprivileged, the
downtrodden. They pay him any way they

With a child?

Merchandise.

Services. We got our whole apartment
painted for nothing a few years ago.

someone gave him their child.

He always wanted one.

And you couldn't have children?

Well, we had some close calls.

What does that mean?

I caught them in time.

What are we talking about, abortion?
Would you want a daughter with this

I mean, even with Lester's genes, why
even take a chance?

What are you doing?

All right, we're just going to put this
on you for your own protection, okay?

What did I say?

Just pretend Lester's here, okay?

Bitch! You bitch!

You bitch!

You bitch!

I can't do this anymore. I know.

Okay, but...

What did she say?

Where is this little girl going to end
up?

She'll be in foster care for the
duration of the trial, and after that, I

say. All right, so if you convict Lester
with Jan's help, then Jan's going to go

free, right? Then she could get this
little girl back?

Under current state custody law, sure.

Not that Jan's going to want that.

Oh, she's going to want her.

If she thinks this kid can in any way
bring Lester back to her, once he serves

his time, she's going to want her.

Scary thought.

And we cannot let that happen.

You know what that was?

Textbook police brutality.

Man, was it ever.

What is he doing here? A purse snatcher,
but we can't find the victim. Get him

out of here. No, no, no, no.

He is my witness. No, on your feet. Get
him in the processing cage. Find the

complainant or cut him loose.

Outrageous. Hang tough, bro. Hang tough.

Hey.

What's the matter?

Vasco, what's wrong?

Talk to Bosco.

Sasha, what's going on?

Bosco's brother.

What?

Davis and Sally found a dismembered body
in a garbage can.

Mikey? Bosco seems to think his lawyer
ratted him out to the exes. That son of

bitch, is he still here? Lester? Yeah,
he's waiting on the DA.

This is adorable.

Now it's your turn.

Did you do it?

Bosco's brother?

Now how would I accomplish that?

Osmosis? You've been having to deny a
lot of things lately, Lester.

Have you been to the hospital?

You have Jan very well trained.

Tell me about Rebecca.

She's awake.

The doctor thinks she's going to have a
full recovery.

She is?

So you beat a murder rap.

I wouldn't have stuck anyway.

Who did you get her from?

Excuse me?

Well, as loyal as she is, Jan hates that
little girl's guts.

And she told us about the adoption.

Where did you get her from?

Never mind.

So how important is that to you?

The name of the guy that gave me
Rebecca.

How much is that information worth?

You trying to strike a deal with me,
Lester?

You drop the charges, I might negotiate.

You want us to come in with you?

No. You sure?

Yeah.

Well, we ain't going anywhere.

What's the matter?

What...

Hey,

Bosco.

It's me.

I, uh...

I don't even know what to say.

I'm just checking in on you.

Give me a call.

I'm thinking about you.

Bye.

You're awake.

You haven't been home in two days.

I know.

You got nothing to say about it?

This little girl.

Can I have to help her?

She's being abused.

Any idea why?

She has these sick, twisted parents,
Fred. The whole thing is so awful.

No, Faith.

Why do you have to help her?

What makes you have to?

I don't know.

I guess if it was Emily, I would want
someone to help her.

Yeah, I got it.

You understand?

We all gotta do what we gotta do.

Where the hell have you been?

Where's your mother? She doesn't need
you. She called me.

Last I saw you, you were trying to
collect some kind of reward for your

You misunderstood. No, I didn't. I
didn't misunderstand anything.

What is the matter? Your brother's dead.
Yeah. Into my way. Because of you, Dad.

What? You knew exactly what was going on
the whole time. You did nothing to stop

it. And you did.

At least I tried, Dad.

They drop all the charges.

That's not going to happen, Lester.

It's not even a legal adoption.

The state has no such records.

I have those records in my files at
home.

Yeah, which you drew up yourself.

I'm qualified to do.

You plead no contest to misdemeanor
abuse.

It'll cost you six months. I had my
daughter. God willing.

All right.

I'll take the reduced charges, but no
plea.

If he wants to roll the dice, let him.
It'll be worth it.

Readable.

The name?

Morris Burke.

Where do I find him?

The last I heard of Morris Burke, he was
in Singsing on drug trafficking.

Not my case.

I cut a deal for him on similar charges
years before.

So he gave you his child?

Yeah, she was nine months old.

Where's the mother? Never met her.

All right, Counselor. I'll have a couple
of cops get you to Central Booking.

Thanks, Lieutenant.

It was a pleasure doing business with
you. Go kill yourself.

She ran the light.

Is anything broken?

We know your lungs are okay.

Yeah, no kidding.

Still with the bad Chinese?

Oh, now I have a throbbing headache.

Yeah, obviously stress -related.

Grace, can I talk to you for a minute?

Look.

I respect how much you loved your old
detail, but we aren't any country club.

Yeah?

Okay.

Don't walk away from me.

Come here.

You know what?

None of us were born the day that you
got here.

You don't know anything about us.

You have no idea how many calls we take,
how many lives we've saved and lost,

how many bullets we've ducked, no matter
how minor you manage to make it all

sound. I don't care whether you came
from Bed -Stuy or Baghdad. You're not

to minimize my experience here just
because it's not yours. So you either

to respect us the way that we respect
you, or just keep your mouth shut until

you've clawed your way back to that war
zone where you'd rather be.

You got that?

Guy's got stones.

There's nothing.

No record of Morris Berkinson. Yeah, I
know why. He died a month ago of a heart

attack. No way. You think Lester knew?
Yeah, of course Lester knew.

But there's no way to verify Morris was
the one who even gave him the kid. Or

even if he did, Lester chose to ignore
that the baby didn't even remotely

resemble the supposed father.

Morris was African American.

So maybe the kid was biracial. Yeah,
maybe. But I still think we should check

the database.

You don't got computers downstairs?

We're checking missing persons and child
abductions from seven years ago.

Cut a deal?

That slimy jagoff.

You let him walk.

Let go. Nobody's letting him walk.

He killed my brother.

Yeah, but do we know that for sure? Are
you people insane? He was representing

the same guy as Mikey was ratting out.

Well, if he ratted out Mikey, then we'll
get him back.

We only cut him a deal on the abuse
case.

In exchange for what?

This little girl.

Bosco, it's complicated. We're just
trying to find her real parents, okay?

Of course you are.

Save the world.

What?

What, something good can't come out of
this? Like what?

What good? Something.

Anything. I mean, is that too much to
ask?

That out of this horror show that is so
incredibly demoralizing and dehumanizing

and disgusting.

I mean, is it too much to ask that maybe
just something decent can come from

this? I don't know.

Something, anything.

What are you looking at?

If it wasn't left, it was you.

Yeah, it was you.

I'm sorry. What?

You're sorry?

You?

I told you what would happen. I told you
to slow down.

But you didn't care about Mikey. You
didn't care what would happen to him.

of you care!

I honestly don't think that those guys
suspected him. Really?

Honestly? And how the hell would you
know?

I don't know. No, you don't. But you
should.

You know better than a criminal
yourself.

You don't get to cry. You don't get to
cry. We will find who did this, Bosco. I

promise you, okay? And your brother will
have justice.

Justice.

As I would allow.

This is her.

She was stolen.

Empty -eyed and bearded and crushed

Oh, this is much more appropriate.

As soon as my paperwork goes through,
I'm headed home.

Well, enjoy it while you can.

Hey, listen, I hope you're not here
wanting more.

Marsburg can't help you. I'm sorry. It's
not my problem.

No, he was very helpful.

We found Rebecca's mother.

No, you didn't. Yeah, we did.

And child services is going to help in
her rehabilitation.

And they're going to reintroduce
Rebecca's mom.

Where'd you find her?

Oh, there's not a deal in the world that
would make me tell you that.

But I will tell you this.

You're never going to hurt that little
girl again.

And I'll tell you for the last time, I
did not cause those injuries. I know.

and Jan are very clumsy.

Do you think it's easy, officer?

For your information, that little sweet
Rebecca has been a handful ever since I

got her.

Whining and crying.

Yeah, for her real mother.

That is my only failing. That I didn't
give her a mother worth a damn. A

pathetic excuse for a human being. A
woman is a waste of flesh and bone,

constantly having to be led by the nose.

Frankly, I was getting exhausted.

So thank you. You did me a favor.

Sending little Rebecca back to whatever
trailer park she comes from.

Good job.

Hey, guys.

Child abuser.

I made my day.

Got on my week.

Yeah, that didn't suck, huh?

Hey, you know, do you want to, uh... You
want to go celebrate, maybe have some

dinner, have a drink or something?

Oh, no, thanks.

I'm, uh... I'm gonna go home and see my
own family.

How they doing?

This morning, I couldn't explain to Fred
why I needed to do this, you know, why

helping that girl meant so much to me.

I bet you know now.

It's really about making a difference,
isn't it?

I mean, it's a cliche for a reason.

You try and you fail and you get kicked
to the ground and you lose so many times

and then you have that one win.

You get that one taste of that happy
ending.

And you learn, you know, that you really
can make a bad thing, right?

And then all the losses, you know, they
don't hurt so much.

Yeah, that's the feeling, all right.

You know, if I could just explain that
to Fred.

There they are.

Well, that'll make a bad day better,
huh?

Oh, man, it was amazing. You should have
seen this woman's face. I wish I had.

Good night, guys.

Way to go, Peyton. Good job.

So what happened to our purse snatcher,
huh?

I had to cut him loose.

He did?

Yeah, there was no victim. No one ever
claimed the purse.

Who made the 911 call?

You did well.

Thank you, Mr. Mann.

And you actually saw the cop learn of
his brother's death?

Witnessed the whole thing with my own
eyes.

Even saw the body, what was left of him.

And he suffered, Vascarelli?

He still is, sir.

If you saw the way he went after this
lawyer guy, trust me, sir, he was

Good.

He's going to cry a lot more before he
dies.
