Previously on Third Watch.

He drew a knife and tried to stab Cruz.

Don't shot him.

Get your kids to talk to you about what happened that night.

Soon. Or your jackets on the internet.

You ready for another?

I'm not driving.

The drugs.

We want the drugs from the ambulance.

Detective Yocas, I understand you want to talk to us about the body that we

found last night.

Yes.

I saw who took her.

Talking to some guy who was holding a puppy in his hand. He was wearing those

green things the doctors wear. Her name is Tara Connelly, and right now her

blood is draining out. And you have 12 hours. 12 hours to find her, otherwise

she's going to be just as dead as that girl was last night.

Oh, God.

Stupid. I gotta do everything myself.

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid. Stupid.

He just turned himself in?

Well, it's more like a challenge than a surrender.

He says we have until 6 a .m. to find this new girl.

Are we sure he isn't just some lunatic?

People confess all the time to this stuff. No, no. He mentioned puppies. He

wearing scrubs. No one knew those things. He won't tell us his name, and

no ID, but we're running his prints through our office right now. He

Hoover High, but they're already gone. We don't have till the morning. He

mentioned Chestnut Street, and there's no Connelly in the phone book out there,

so detectives at the start of the canvas. That's where we're at. Keep me

updated. I have to brief the captain on Finney. All right.

Of course, I could just break one finger at a time until he tells us. Detective

Yelkis? You running instead of Prince?

I didn't just call. Came back no hit. Not on file.

Thanks.

You know what Swirsky just said? We might be able to use that. What part? If

tell this guy, we don't believe him.

We think he's wacko.

Maybe we can get him to prove it by telling us where the girl is. That

too easy. There has to be a reason he's here. He wants us to know how smart he

is.

Go talk to him.

Me?

Yeah.

Yeah, you. No.

I've never interrogated a prisoner before. You're what we have.

Jelly's busy with the Finney shooting, and if I have to go in there, I might

kill him, which would leave us with nothing.

Go on.

Jokic, it's okay if he thinks he's smarter than you.

Don't let him intimidate you. These guys live on fear. They can know it.

I'm Detective Yoka. No, no.

I'm sorry? Uh -uh. No, come on. We don't have time for this. Bring Miller in

here. Come on, let's go.

He's busy. He's busy. Doing what?

Police work. What could possibly be more important than this?

This? Well, um, we're not really sure that you're for real.

Oh, okay.

Um, let me tell you something.

I'm very real to Tara Connolly. I can promise you that.

Now, look, there's not a lot of time, and the clock... Hicken, let's not play

games. Come on, bring in Miller.

There's not really a clock on this, is there? Would you please bring Miller in

here? Can you prove that you actually have this girl?

Oh, Jesus. Just bring Miller in here, all right?

So your fingerprints aren't on file.

Um, maybe that's because I've never been arrested.

And you're wearing scrubs?

Yeah, I'm wearing scrubs. Wow, you're very clever.

What are you, some kind of doctor or something?

An LPN.

You in a hospital?

No, not in a hospital.

Okay, I see what's going on here. All right, so Miller is supervising you.

No, we're working together.

Uh -huh, right. Miller does not work with anyone.

Oh, you know him? Like, what did he call you or something? Did I not just tell

you that I've never been arrested in my life?

Who the hell is Miller?

I think you better calm down a little. No, let me tell you something. Right

Tara is in a lot of trouble, and you, sweet pants, are too stupid to follow

along. Lieutenant Miller isn't going to come in here if he thinks that you're

some nutjob that's just looking for attention.

So he wants to make sure that you're not some fruit plate that

went looney tune today.

So is that what happened? That's the best you can come up with? It's just a

little lame insult.

Kind of like you calling me stupid?

Miller is the best of the best.

The world's greatest detectives, right?

What do you mean?

Let's just bring Miller in here. He understands, all right? And what, you're

going to tell him where Tara is?

Honey, have you ever read The Fundamentals of Criminal Investigation?

No. Okay, you don't just ask a suspect for something.

You're letting me run this.

You are supposed to be interrogating me.

It's an art form.

Offer me something.

Offer me a cigarette or soda, something that the two of us can bond over. Make

me feel comfortable.

Build my confidence. Then you can tell me about the penalty for the crime that

I've committed.

Tell me that I can help myself and cope me into telling my side of the story.

And then you tell me, oh, you understand what I'm going through and you

empathize with me. And then in the end, you convince me that it's better for me

to talk now than after the girl died.

You learned all that from a book, huh?

Do you know that he visits her grave?

Who?

Miller. He visits Rebecca's grave.

Sometimes he'll just go there and he'll sit all by himself.

Oh, look who's not so busy anymore.

Only where she is. This is not going to help us. Tell me!

Good cop, bad cop.

Nightly done. Look, neither one of us feels much like playing good cop, so

push your luck.

Hey, Lieutenant Miller, you shouldn't feel ashamed about going to Rebecca's

grave.

I visit her, too.

I visit all of them.

Do you ask her to forgive you, too? What do I have to be forgiven for?

Well, you couldn't stop me.

All right, here you go.

This is Parth.

If you find her father, he'll recognize it. He gave it to her for her sweet 16.

Is that proof enough for you guys?

That twisted little prick was watching me?

I think he was watching her and you just happened to be there. Why?

Why me?

What did I ever do to him?

Well, he seems to think that you're some sort of super detective.

No, but the note said he did it for me, he killed Rayanne for me, and now

there's Tara too.

Mind if I make an observation?

Go ahead, we're working together.

You said me four times.

I did? Yeah.

You're right. You're right.

Look, I don't think this locket proves anything conclusively, except that this

guy's pretty insane.

He actually got me to put my hands up.

Look, the worst case scenario is you got a guy that looks good here to close out

a couple of these serial murder cases.

I don't think you want to be banging him around, all right? You're going to give

him a brutality defense.

You need to keep questioning him. I don't think it's going so well in there.

you kidding?

You keep calling me stupid.

Then he won't know when you're going to show up. He told you he's a licensed

practical nurse who doesn't work in a hospital.

What does that leave us? It leaves us with nursing homes, doctor's offices,

maybe a private nurse, but they don't really wear scrubs.

We can get his picture. We can start faxing it around to all the likely

facilities in Brooklyn. We can widen out from there, get back in there, and keep

him talking.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold on, hold on. Let me get the camera and get the picture and start faxing

around, and maybe I can shake him up some in the process.

Smile, Jagoff.

You're under arrest for the murder of Rebecca Hasfield. Get up. Take

out of your pockets and remove any jewelry.

Okay.

See, sweetheart, this is called procedure.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to have an attorney present during any questioning.

That's all.

Sit down.

Do you understand me right?

Yes, ma 'am.

Do you wish to answer any questions?

Some.

What are these two?

Oh, jeez.

See, that's one I don't want to answer.

Hey.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm a lieutenant of police. I don't have time for games.

This is not a game.

Then why don't you tell me where the girl is?

It is not done that way.

And back to you and me.

That was a good shoot.

Yeah, I know.

All right.

I mean, Jelly would have told you if it looked bad, so you could be prepared.

Why do I have to go to the hospital?

It's a trauma procedure.

Well, what if I'm not traumatized?

I wouldn't tell anybody that, okay?

You don't want to give the impression that you can take a life without

conscience.

Follow the light, Nieto.

All right, good.

Any nauseousness at all?

No. Headache?

Localized, right where I was hit.

Sleepy? I'm always a little bit sleepy.

You have an egg back here, but it's not bad.

It's not bleeding anymore.

Put a butterfly bandage on it, and you're going to be all right. Get out of

here. I told you, I'm a pro. I get hit in the head all the time.

You do?

Um, yeah. How many times?

Wait.

Order a CT, find him a bed upstairs. You got it. A bed?

24 hours observation. No, no, no, no, no. You said I was going to be okay.

Repeated head trauma series. I don't get hit all the time. I exaggerate a lot.

Doc, wait, please. Carlos!

Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I just heard.

Are you all right?

Oh, my God. You could have been killed.

I... Should be so lucky. Your CT is ready and your bed is all taken care of.

CT, you're being admitted?

Yeah.

I'll be here with you all night, baby.

Don't you worry about it. Don't you worry about it.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Okay.

Where's Grace? Is she all right?

She went to go do a run sheet.

Maybe they're in your shirt pocket.

Leave her alone.

I'm not finished with her.

I'm going to blow your head off.

You don't think I'll do it?

I can't let you walk away from me. Shoot him, Brendan.

Shut up and stop moving.

I know, darling.

How many has he killed?

Five that we know about. Now he says there are more.

More than another girl?

If he is, she's in a whole lot of trouble. Lieutenant Miller.

Mr. and Mrs. Conlon.

How do you do?

How do you do? Tara was gone when I got home from work.

She's only 16.

Please.

So what time is it?

It's almost nine.

Where does the time go?

Why don't you give me a name, you know, something to call you?

You know, I was very apprehensive about coming here.

I almost didn't do it. I don't get you.

Of course you don't.

Too stupid.

Those are your words.

So then why did you? I mean, why would you come here? You've got to know that

you're going to go away for a long time, maybe even the death penalty.

I could think so. If anyone deserves it, I do.

Is that what you want? Do you punish?

I want what I've always wanted.

I want to be stopped.

You could have stopped at any time.

I have no more control over this than you have over the fact that you have to

to the bathroom right now.

It's like your eighth cup of coffee.

I know that women have notoriously small bladders.

I can hold it. When I got home, the front door was wide open.

And Tara's homework was on the dining room table, like she'd be right back.

And I was calling out to her when a couple of officers came to the front

and asked if she was missing.

Did you call any of her friends to make sure she isn't with them?

She always goes straight home.

There's no one there to greet her.

Don't do this now, Ron. The child needs a parent at home.

She is 16 years old. Apparently that's not too old to go missing, is it? Folks,

this really isn't going to help.

This isn't my fault.

Is it? If nothing, either of you did. Now listen to me. I need to go to your

house with a crime scene team.

Can you stay here and just be available to us?

Of course.

I'm sorry you're in this situation.

How did they know?

Excuse me? The officers who came to the door.

How did they know Tara was missing before we even called?

Do you recognize this?

Oh, my God.

It's Taro's.

I gave it to her for her birthday.

Are your vitals seem okay?

Do you feel panicked at all?

Anxious? Richie Hart, sweaty palms?

No, nothing.

What about talking to someone? I know your department offers counseling.

You'll have to see a department doctor before returning to duty.

Counseling? It's really not a bad idea, son.

Sometimes you're affected and don't even realize it. There's no shame in it.

Where's Officer Finney?

There you are.

There.

Took out a perp with a gun?

Well, hot as his head.

If that is not Medal of Honor, I don't know what is.

I'm damn proud of you, son. Damn proud.

Outstanding work.

Well, thank you, sir.

Bob, what do you think of my boy here?

I'm glad they're both all right.

That's the kind of situation that can go real bad, real fast.

Yeah, we were just telling him how there's no shame in seeing a counselor

a trauma like this. Don't be ridiculous.

This young man's been waiting for this moment since he could walk.

Told you I was good, Davis. You don't want to see any damn shrink. Right. It's

my bad.

Officer Tyrone Davis, Jr.

Yes, sir.

I knew your father.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

Aren't you less saddled with some inept rookie that's more of a liability than a

partner? Yeah, Brendan's going to be a good cop one day. One day.

I say as of today, he's proven himself to be a good cop already.

All right.

Detective Barlow is going to be handling this case from the IAB perspective.

I'm bound out of this case as of now.

I want this investigation to be impartial and objective.

Proud of you.

Thank you, sir.

I'm going to need a written statement from you, Brendan.

After you talk to your PBA attorney, of course, at their convenience.

Just basically how... Partial and objective, my ass.

It was a good shoot.

The IAB detective just watched his boss declare the kid a hero, then he dictated

his statement to him.

Would you rather they hang him? No, of course not.

He's never gonna get counseling now.

He has to go see a department doctor one way or another.

But we can't make him talk to them. He just killed a guy, boss. That's not

You know that. On the way over here, he was... I don't know. He was different.

It was like a light went out or something.

Keep an eye on him. If he seems to be suffering, we'll deal with it ourselves.

I gotta get back to the house. Something going on?

You don't know?

We may have a serial killer there.

So what time is it anyway?

Ten o 'clock?

Twenty after.

You guys are just letting the time slip by, aren't you?

How can you be so insensitive?

I'm here with you, aren't I?

You know what gets me really angry?

How easy the whole thing was.

I mean, I hardly had to do a thing.

I mean, of course, I had to, you know, make sure I didn't leave any evidence

behind, but that's just me doing my job well.

Your job is a licensed practical nurse.

These murders, that's a sickness.

If you want to be.

If you help us, I can help you.

I want to.

And you help me.

I want to try.

That was nicely done.

Yep, understanding.

There was some empathy there.

Allow me to help you help yourself.

Now, you're a quick learner there, Detective Yolk.

You know, you keep saying that you came here because you want to be stopped, and

yet you mock any attempt I make to do that.

How long have you been married?

Excuse me?

Well, I see a wedding ring there on your finger.

Does your husband know that you unbutton your shirt like that when you

interrogate men?

I also don't see an engagement ring, so I'm guessing you guys don't have a lot

of money, huh? You and your husband?

Did you marry young?

Let's just talk about Tara.

Make you feel uncomfortable to talk about yourself?

Excuse me.

Detective Jokas?

You know, it's... It's not healthy to keep all that inside.

What?

Just make sure you go to the bathroom.

Hey.

What are you going to do, please?

Yeah, I got to process Tyra Connelly's house.

Oh, no.

Her parents.

The father ID to lock it. Now, I didn't tell them that he's here. Right. I'll

check in. Okay, good luck, Lieutenant.

Call me John.

Right? I got a feeling something's about to break. Like you said, the only thing

you ever had on this case is luck. Right.

I'm due.

Luck.

Are you really going to let this girl die for no reason?

Reasons.

Well, that's... What

do I have to do to get you to tell me

where this girl is?

Okay.

Okay.

I want you to go on television.

I want you to tell everybody that I'm smarter than you.

I can do that.

You can?

Yeah.

Jeez.

Oh, my God.

You really are stupid.

I feel sorry for your husband.

Oh, honey, do you think Miller would actually let you go on TV?

And by the way, I'm not letting this girl die.

You are. You and Miller.

What time is it?

It's 11 .05.

11 .05.

Less than seven hours left.

Tick tock. Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

Ready for your close -up? Love you.

I had never wanted to hurt somebody so bad.

There is a nursing home online, too. The woman says your guy works there.

John, it's Faith.

Here's a surprise. Not one bit of physical evidence at the girl's house.

prints, no nothing. John, his name is Jeffrey Barton.

What?

The facts they sent.

He, um, he works at Woodman Vista Nursing Facility in Williamsburg.

Are you sure?

I just spoke to the head nurse.

Give me the address.

You got nothing to worry about here, my man.

Thanks for your help. Yeah, no problem.

I'll get you out there, brother.

You want to go home? Yeah.

I got to spend the night.

Got you in the head again. Yep.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're the guy, the cop that... Yeah, it's Brendan Finney.

Carlos. Thanks a lot.

That's all right. You shoot the guy with the gun or the guy that touched Grace?

When he touched you?

Not really.

He would have raped you if he had the chance. It's over now.

You really should get some rest. Come on. Take him to his room.

Wait, what happened?

Like you, nothing I want to remember.

Good night.

Grace, wait.

Now, look, are you all right?

You're 15 minutes in the bathroom, Finney. Get over yourself.

He's a wonderful worker. The patients love him.

He can make even the meanest of them take their meds without a whimper. I

imagine he can be very persuasive. Is he in some kind of trouble?

He abducted a young girl.

Jeffrey? Impossible.

He says that if we don't find her before 6 a .m., she's going to die. Jeffrey

Barton? The man in that photograph.

Do you have an address on him? Jeffrey would never harm you. He's at the 55th

Precinct right now. He came in himself to tell us about it. She's going to die

if we don't find her. Please, help me.

Yes, I have his address right here.

How many kids do you have, Detective Ugas?

Oh, please, come on.

You've obviously been married for a while.

And you look like a mom.

You trying to make me feel bad about myself again?

Well, I'm guessing two.

A boy and a girl.

How old's your little daughter?

You don't scare me.

You know...

When I first got here, I was really angry.

But now I'm just very disappointed. I expected a lot more from you people.

I was in Dubuque, Iowa, and I saw this documentary on your little son of Sam.

And the detective being interviewed was sitting underneath that big banner, the

greatest detectives in the world.

And that's why I came here. That's why I came to New York. To see if it was

true. I was hoping.

How long?

It's 2 .30.

When this is all over, what do you get out of this? I mean, what will it all

have been for?

I will have been stopped.

You don't need to kill Tower for that.

You know something? Unfortunately, I do, because I have absolutely no control

over that.

She's going to die, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I was hoping that Lieutenant Miller could do something, but I guess not.

Well, the night's not over yet.

Jeffrey.

I spoke to Vivian Hill.

You're head nurse?

Wow.

Okay. So I guess we're making a little progress, aren't we? Well, like I said,

the night's not over yet.

Mm -hmm.

Well, you must keep me updated.

You know, it doesn't matter what your old man thinks about counseling. I've

in a situation before.

Helps to talk about it.

I got paperwork to do. Fair.

What's up, Vinnie?

What's wrong with him?

He had a rough day.

I just finished a DUI. That guy blew a 3 .9.

Damn. It's almost comatose.

If you drink long enough, your tolerance goes up.

Well, then he's been drinking since the 50s.

You know, Carlos is in the hospital. He got hit in the head again.

Oh, that's been happening a lot lately.

So, uh, no one's at my place tonight.

Oh, my teacher's got to work early, so I need to be there for my nephew.

All right.

But, I mean, if... If you, uh... If you want to come over...

How much time is left?

Four and a half hours.

Hold up, hold up.

You're pleased with yourself, huh, Jeffrey?

I take it things didn't go so well at the apartment, huh? We had the whole

planned out.

You told me that you were an LPN that didn't work in a hospital. Those are the

only questions that you actually answered.

I did feel bad manipulating you like that. This is a game to you. Yeah, life

death. The ultimate game. You have 45 minutes to save this girl's life.

You know something? No. I think it's you and Miller.

that are down to 45 minutes, not me. Have you ever met the people that are

actually affected by your game, Jeffrey? Because I know that you like to watch,

but I'm just wondering, have you ever met any of them up close and personal?

What are you talking about?

I want you to tell Tara's mom that this is our fault and not yours.

I don't know. Whoa.

What are you... Please.

No. No. No.

Don't kill my baby.

She's only 16. She has a whole life to live. This is inappropriate.

It's their fault.

No, I'm begging you. Please, I'll give you what you need. I'll give you money.

I'll give you everything that we have.

Don't kill my baby.

I'll do anything. Just kill me.

Just kill me.

Please kill me.

It's Miller's fault. It's the police's fault. Get out of here. Get out.

Get her out of here. It's making you uncomfortable, Jeffrey.

Come on, Mrs. Connelly. No!

Do not!

who is weaker than you.

And if that somehow makes you feel important, then God, God help you.

Did it talk?

I missed you here.

I missed me here.

Thirsty?

Mm -hmm.

Get us some water.

There's bottles in the fridge.

See, I never understood that. Bottled water seems like it's a rip -off. You

just get it for free right out of the tap.

Will you go? get the water you know what i'm saying though right yeah but two

bottles of water coming up

You know, I like you and everything, but you have a strange idea of what makes a

good souvenir.

What do you mean?

Here, your precious bottle of water.

What is this?

It's not exactly a memento I would have chosen.

It isn't?

The knife we were almost killed with. I think that's something you'd want to

forget.

I didn't know there was a picture of it.

Last time I saw it was in the hospital.

Cruz had it.

It's 6 .05.

Ooh.

Is she really dead?

See, what I did was I...

measured her weight with the amount of, you know, so,

yeah, she's dead.

Why?

Well, it wasn't anything personal, okay?

Just a baby.

All of them were.

Becky.

Brianne. Sarah Jane.

Gracie Mintz.

They were just kids.

I need to know why.

Because I needed to be stopped.

You think I didn't try?

I expected something a little better from you.

Yeah, well, maybe I kind of expected a little bit more from myself.

You know, when I came in here, I was going to kill you.

That's okay.

It's okay.

You'd like that? No, I wouldn't like that, but I do understand it.

See, I kind of feel like you and me are very much alike.

We're both very driven men.

We're just kids.

Yes, we're just kids.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

Did that help? I apologize. No, I do. I apologize.

And in fact, you know, when you visit her grave, like you do Becky's, would

apologize for me, too?

Oh, come on.

Oh, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant.

Lieutenant. Lieutenant.

Here's something for you.

There's a factory, okay, at 171st and MacArthur.

You'll find her up on the fourth floor.

You and I are nothing unlike you,

rat bastard, son of a bitch.

After I bring her home alive, I'm going to make you real sorry you ever came to

New York.

Hey, officer.

Yeah.

What time is it?

4 .30.

ever known don't know where it goes but it's only me and i walk alone

i walk

this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams where the city

sweeps

wanted to get caught.

He wanted to win.

So Tara's gonna be okay?

Medics say she's gonna make it. Important thing was getting her blood

up. Her parents are with her.

You... You did good, Detective.

I wasn't sure if I was going too fast, you know, with the time.

Because if I said it was too late, then he might have caught on, you know, and

blown the whole thing. And then if I didn't say it was late enough...

We wouldn't have had any time at the end.

You did it just right.

Listen, detective, go home.

I'll finish up.

Thanks, John.

Good job.

Thanks for your help last night, Sarge.

Wouldn't have got through all that paperwork without it. Yeah, no problem.

It's been a long day.

Go home and get some sleep.

Captain. Dad.

We did good. He's proved himself to be a good cop. No way here?

Not at all.

Brendan. Right, Sarge. Sergeant Cruz, you're under arrest for the murder of

Donald Mann, confiscated weapon, cuffer.

Now get her out of here.

Season after season, hour after hour.
