Third Watch s02e04 Episode Script

ANNOUNCER: Previously on Third Watch: KIM: Jimmy rappelled off the roof? DOC: Took us out a window.
Good thing too.
Couple more minutes up there, we'd have been toast.
Bravery over intelligence, something I learned watching you.
- We're gonna take care of it now.
- I'm a fireman.
Get back.
Get across the street.
What's the matter with you? [GUNSHOTS.]
I just-- Just got the message.
I went to work and the desk had it, and.
Oh, my God.
Are you okay? JIMMY: The most difficult thing to do in sports is to hit a major-league fastball.
The Yankees gave me three swings.
Every spring they have tryouts for guys who think they can play but didn't have the advantage of going to a Michigan or a USC.
Spring of 1993, that was my year.
They give you three swings.
You hit one, you move on to fielding.
It's kind of harsh, but I guess they don't have time to do much else.
Did'nt matter to me anyways.
I knew I was good.
I had it all figured out.
Maybe a year in the minors.
Then I make it to the show.
Easy street.
Seven-figure-product-endorsement contract with Nike or Adidas or somebody.
All I had to do was hit one.
How hard could that be? Being a fireman, that was my backup plan.
Joined the fire department three months later.
Did'nt expect to, but I love my job.
I love being a fireman.
Really good at it.
Better at it than anything else I've ever tried to do.
Being a fireman people in the neighborhood look up to you.
Being a good fireman the other firefighters look up to you.
I'm a good fireman.
In the firehouse, I'm respected.
I know my spot, know I belong.
Work with men I admire, men I'd trust with my life men who, d trust me with theirs.
That was the best.
I'd found my place in the world after all.
Then I got shot.
First time I've ever been nervous about going in that house.
I wish you'd take another month.
No one's gonna think less of you if you don't go back early.
No, I'm ready.
Okay.
Oh, hey, I put those inn brochures in the bag because we really have to put a deposit down if we want to reserve that June date.
JIMMY: What? The-- You know, the white dress, the church vows, that.
- In the bag? - In the bag.
JIMMY: All right.
I'll look them over.
Now, will you do me a favor? Will you take it easy today, please? - Okay? - Okay, Mommy.
Go home.
- I'll see you here tomorrow morning? - Yeah, right here.
The Yankees gave me three swings.
And while I don't really have any regrets sometimes I wish they'd given me just one more swing.
[SIREN WAILS.]
[ROCK MUSIC BLARING ON STEREO.]
HOWELL: Hey, hey.
Who picked this damn music? LOMBARDO: Listen, I'm not listening to REO SpeedWagon again.
- Forget about it.
- Yeah? Well, all new music sucks.
- Even the stuff you haven't heard? HOWELL: Especially the stuff I haven't heard.
Where's my Skynyrd compilation tape? Oh, you redneck hillbilly.
You know rock's only allowed on Tuesdays.
[ALL CHEERING.]
Hey, hey, Elvis is in the building.
Thought you weren't coming back for another week.
What, you think I'd come back on CP time? You are one sorry-looking specimen.
I got shot.
What's your excuse? If we give you water, you gonna spout a couple of fountains? Ten weeks.
That's the best you could come up with? - Let me get that.
Let me get that for you.
- Hey, I got it, Candyman.
Hey, somebody better tell the arsonists it's time to retire.
- Jimmy D is back.
MAN: Right now.
Boss, the human paperwork factory is back.
JOHNSON: Good to have you back.
- It's good to be back.
JOHNSON: we'll beat that out of you.
- I bet you will.
HOWELL: Hey, Jimmy, let's see it.
- See what? The scar.
Let's see it.
ROBERTS: Come on.
Let's see your boo-boo, Jimmy.
HOWELL: Let's see.
- You can't handle this.
- You're a little squeamish.
ROBERTS: Yeah, yeah.
- Watch out.
- I'll show you.
Look at this.
LOMBARDO: Whoa.
What, do you call that a scar? Here you go.
Six years old, driving up the East River, hit by a Cadillac tailfin, baby.
- Losing some weight.
- Linda Hatter, senior year.
She pushed me off the wall When I tried to get up her sweater.
You still haven't gotten up anyone's sweater.
- Hold on.
Don't get excited.
HOWELL: Hey, don't do it.
- We're talking bullet hole, friends.
ROBERTS: Let's see what you got.
JIMMY: I'm about to show you a real scar.
MEN: Whoa.
Any closer to your boys and you'd be singing in a falsetto.
- Good thing I tucked left that day.
- Damn, that's a big sucker.
JIMMY: That's what D.
K.
's wife said.
[MEN LAUGHING.]
Anybody home? You Taylor? - Yes, sir.

Just like yesterday and the day before.

LOMBARDO: Sorry, Jimmy.
- No, hey.
JOHNSON: Let's settle back in.
Let's go.

WALSH: Everyone knows who you are too.
So who's wally Pipp? WALSH: You call yourself a New Yorker? Get your ass out and walk.
ROBERTS: Wally Pipp played for the Yankees.
He got a headache.
They sent out a rookie.
LOMBARDO: So? - Rookie's name was Lou Gehrig.
Wally Pipp never got back in the lineup.
Taylor, outside vent or door man depending on how we get assigned.
Yes, sir.
JOHNSON: Here we are.
Let's go.
Lock and load.
JOHNSON: Fire's on the second floor.
We don't know if there's anybody in the building.
JOHNSON: Taylor, take the rear.
- Don't vent until the first line gets water.
- Yes, sir.
She's venting.
I'm carrying the can? Squad to all members, they want us operating as an engine.
Eighty-five needs a second line.
- You're on the hydrant.
- I can handle the nozzle.
It's your first day.
I want you taking it easy.
Get on the hydrant.

I got that.
WALSH: Need a hand? - No.
WALSH: You sure? - I got it.
- Where you going? - Gonna see if Cap needs another line.
- How about breaking this one out first? - Why don't you break it out? FIREMAN: Spread it out.
JIMMY: Hey, Lou.
How about I stretch another line? JOHNSON: why do I have to keep telling you to stick to your assignment? FIREMAN: Hey, Lou, the roof is open.
- All right.
Water on the main squad line.
ALEX: There's no water, Lou.
Doherty, you were supposed to snake out that line.
ALEX: We need water.
ALEX: We're wet.
JOHNSON: Let's go.
All right, Lombardo.
You got it.
We've got more flames down to the right.
[SPEAKING INAUDIBLY.]
HOWELL: Look.
You've melted your helmet.
- Hey, yo, Jimmy.
Check out my helmet, baby.
JOHNSON: Taylor, relieve the nozzle man for a wash-down.
JIMMY: Hey, I can take care of that, boss.
JOHNSON: I said Taylor.
ALEX: You got it.
She should be on the hydrant and the can.
Yeah, and if she bitched about that, We'd all end up in her next beef.
- Is that Alex Taylor? HOWELL: It's the one and only.
CARLOS: You know her? - Yeah.
She used to be a paramedic.
We.
We worked a few shifts together before she took the fire exam and made it up the list.
- She the one from 78? DOC: Yeah.
Nice lady.
Hard worker.
Yeah? Well, she should have stayed a paramedic.
Too bad she's litigious.
Girl's got a great ass.
ROBERTS: I believe I get first-shower honors.
- Bobby.
KIM: Everybody make it back? LOMBARDO: Yes, Mommy.
- Yeah.
Keep dreaming.
Nothing like the smell of smoky charred leather.
At least you don't have to worry about any damage in that area.
That's right, because he does all his thinking here anyway.
ROBERTS: Hey, hey, hey.
I hear that.
Kim Zambrano, Bobby Caffey this is Alex Taylor.
- Today is her first day.
- Hi.
- Welcome to high school.
- Yeah.
Junior high school.
Be nice having another woman around here.
Yeah.
The lockers upstairs? - Yeah.
You want me to show you? - I'll find them.
Okay.
Friendly.
HOWELL: Your bunk's down by the window.
You'll know which one.
- Is that the one that? - Yes, it is.
Hey, where's Jimmy? - Jimmy's here? - Yeah.
He came back today.
He wasn't supposed to be back for weeks.
You know Jimmy.
Let the games begin.
KIM: Hey.
- Hey.
- What's that? - Huh? Let me see.
The Inn at Stoneridge.
Ooh.
Hoity place.
Expensive place.
What you doing up here? Everyone's showering up.
I.
I don't really need to.
How you feeling? I'm here, right? So you planning a big Wedding? I don't know.
She wants 50, 75 people.
Something like that.
Sure beats Atlantic City and that cheesy buffet we had, right? That's great, Jimmy.
Good for you.
BOBBY: Kim, we gotta run.
Hey, Jimmy.
How you doing? Never been better.
Welcome home.
Glad you're back.
Thanks.
[GUYS LAUGHING.]
LOMBARDO: Taylor? - Yeah? LOMBARDO: Well, we have a sign.
We can flip it to "female" if you want to shower first.
No, thanks.
I'm fine.
ROBERTS: You sure? - Yeah, I'm good.
ROBERTS: Okay.
Well, then I'll go first.
JIMMY: Lou? You see this? I'm a damn file clerk.
The new fire department has more logs than Lincoln.
I used to be a fireman.
- Hey, you're still a fireman.
- No.
I'm a paper pusher.
I should have never took the boss test.
What do you need? Just.
Sorry about that hose kink.
- It happens.
No big deal.
- The fire was vented.
- The guys didn't have water.
- You're rusty.
- You haven't been on the hydrant.
- See, that's the thing.
I'm not rusty.
I wanted to make sure that this morning's not gonna screw me up for the next fire.
It's not personal, Jimmy.
I'm ready, all right? - And able.
- So noted.
All right.
Want that tour? I can figure it out.
- You sure? No charge today.
- I'm fine.
You know, Danny Gamble is a friend of mine.
So? I don't really know What happened over at 78.
All I'm saying is maybe you misread it.
Danny's not that type of guy.
Fine.
He's a perfect gentleman.
ROBERTS: Hey, D.
- How about a little round ball? - Yeah.
Give me a sec.
So you think you misread it? I think I don't want to talk about it.

EMS responding.
I'm gonna have to turn around.
Looks like it's gonna be one of those days.
[SIREN WAILING.]
Sully, help me.
I can't understand you.
MARINA: They're asking my children to sell drugs.
- How many times do I have to call? - You can't call if there's no shooting.
- They are on our front stoop.
BOSCO: There is no shooting.
If we don't say it's serious, then no one comes.
- You can't do it.
TY: Don't yell at them.
- You can't do that.
- They're asking my children to sell drugs.
See this fire truck? MARINA: He wants my children to sell.
BOSCO: The ambulances, the cop cars? When you call for a shooting, they come.
Somebody's a couple blocks over dying of a heart attack.
You know what? I'm done.
- Wait.
- Where's the shooting? There isn't one.
They called us out because they want us to roust some drug dealers.
- Like we're their personal service.
- Can't say I blame them.
Because you'd just as soon sit around the firehouse, watch Ricki Lake.
Better than sitting, thinking up tired jokes about firemen.
- Who are you? - From the outfit, I'd say I was a firefighter.
You're supposed to have a Barcalounger attached to your ass.
Where is it? - Whose side are you guys on? - That'd be the one with the funnier jokes.
- All right, let's go.
HOWELL: Come on, let's go.
- Been great, guys.
TY: Yeah.
- Safe home, everybody.
CARLOS: Lighten up, fire.
- See you later.
- You new? - Alex Taylor.
- I'm Faith Yokas.
It's amazing, isn't it? It's like they get dumber When they're in packs.
I thought we were done With this for the year.
ALEX: I got it.
- Doherty, give her a hand.
I'll do it, Jimmy.
You whacked out that rock.
Come on, I'll do it.
JIMMY: All right, kids.
Fun's over.
Back off.
- You need a hand? - No.
- I got it.
- Okay.
Look at this.
How much stuff can they shove in here? Well, it takes a lot to get a good spray.
- Here.

Get back, you guys.
JIMMY: Got it.
It's clear.
So how are they treating you? Thanks.
They'll come around.
I'm here.
I'm not going anywhere.
They are just gonna have to get used to it.
Right across the street from the doughnut dopes.
- Must be a royal pain.
- Mostly we get along.
Same old Doc.
Fifty feet from enemy camp and you're still Mary Sunshine.
I manage a thunderstorm every now and then.
What you doing sitting out here all alone? Didn't want to be in the way in there.
Lieutenant said you're thinking about taking some paramedic shifts.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Little extra cash.
You can ride with me any time.
You still drive like Richard Petty? More Willy T.
Ribbs.
Indy driver.
You'll have to take my word for it.
How's your dad? He still thinks I'll make chief.
BOBBY: Hey, Jimmy.
How you feeling? - Can I get you anything? - Oh, that's real funny.
- What are you doing? BOBBY: I'm telling lies and taking sun, baby.
JIMMY: You gain some weight While I've been gone? - Danny.
- Jimmy Doherty.
- Hey, man.
- Back from the dead, huh? How long you been off the disabled list? - Oh, what time is it? - Oh, jeez.
- You know, you gave us a big scare.
- Hey, Bobby.
- You know Danny Gamble? - No.
I don't think so.
We did a couple HazMats together 100 years ago.
- Tear gas clouds my memory.
- Mine too.
Danny was senior guy in my first company, king of the hill.
- Long time ago.
JIMMY: Not that long ago.
Bobby, we got a call.
Let's go.
Kimmy, look who's here.
Hey, Danny.
How you been? - Just great.
And you? - Fine.
- Come on, Bobby.
We gotta go.
BOBBY: All right.
- We'll catch you bucket fairies later.
- All right.
What's up? You came all the way up here to see me? DANNY: You think I'm gonna let you come back to work and not stop by? Man, that's great.
That is great.
What are you doing here? I came by to see Jimmy.
You're not supposed to be around me.
- I'm visiting my friend.
- Danny, we can go outside.
It's no big deal.
Come on.
Jeez, she wants me bad, man.
[LAUGHS.]
She's a teaser, you know? Just like that waitress in the 11th district.
DISPATCH [ON PA.]

[SIREN WAILING.]
[MAN YELLING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
Step back.
I need you to step back.
Thank you.
MARCIE: It's my birthday.

Pop the door.
We'll get her out.

We need the jaws.
HOWELL: Thanks, Jimmy.

- What are you doing? - Getting a woman out.
I run the jaws, Jimmy.

Hook it up.
We're going, miss.
We'll get you out of there.
Don't worry.
LOMBARDO: Come on, come on, come on.
Hey, Jimmy.
What's going on with you, man? Nothing.
Why? You trying to kill yourself your first day back? Just another day at the office.
What's the big deal? You got shot.
Take it easy.
It's your first day back.
I would if it was me.
It isn't you.
You're fighting Howell for the jaws leaving kinks in a line.
I'm a better fireman than you, Joe, any day of the week.
Yeah, you were, and maybe you will be again.
But you know what? We're only as strong as our weakest link.
And today, you're it.
Hey, Jimmy.
Come on.
Come on, Jimmy.
- Jimmy? - Who here thinks I'm not 100 percent? Lombardo tells me I'm not pulling my weight on the team.
Who agrees with that? Oh, everybody thinks so? D.
K.
, let's do some push-ups then.
- Push-ups? - Regular, military, you name it.
- Let's see if you can hang.
- Get out of here.
What about you, Howell? Think I'm not up to the job? - What do you got? - Nobody wants to do push-ups, Jimmy.
What you looking at, Walsh? Want some? - Let's get up there.
- Get out of here.
LOMBARDO: What are you doing? Sit down here.
I didn't think so.
- How many runs did we do today? KIM: Eleven.
- How come it seems like more? CARLOS: Half our day was frequent flyers.
Can't sleep? Not tired.
Well, you should try and get some rest anyway.
No, thanks.

I see.
Hold on.
I got a woman in the first floor, rear exposure, three side.
Do we have water yet? Negative, Taylor.
We have Doherty Working on that right now.
- Open, please.
ALEX: Outside Squad, I am not venting.
Repeat, not venting until we have water.
Ma'am, stay right there.
We have people coming in to find you.
I'm gonna need a saw back here for these bars.
Where the hell's water? JOHNSON: Doherty, where's our water? We got hydrant water.
I'm coming after those kids.

I told you.
I told you.

Lieutenant.
No, no.

Don't open that door.

It's not safe.
I need everyone out now.
JIMMY: Roberts.
Come on out.
The building's coming down.
We gotta get out.
Come on.
Quick.
- Roberts.
We got a man down.
Man down.
- My leg is stuck.
Somebody help me.
ALEX: Doherty, I can squeeze under, maybe drag him out.
Can you hold it up yourself? JIMMY: Go.
Go, I got it.
Go.
Go.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
ALEX: Jimmy, you gotta lift it up higher.
I need it higher.
- Lombardo, help Doherty.
LOMBARDO: Jimmy, let me in there.
JIMMY: I got it.
Get back.
LOMBARDO: Jimmy.
JIMMY: I got it, damn it.
ALEX: Doherty, higher.
LOMBARDO: Let me give you a hand.
- I got it.
HOWELL: what is going on? ALEX: I need it higher.
LOMBARDO: Jimmy.
ALEX: Jimmy.
LOMBARDO: Jimmy.
Jimmy.
- No.
Let go, damn it.
LOMBARDO: Jimmy, what the hell are you doing? Get out of the way.
Get out of the way.
ALEX: I got him.
Move him out.
- Keep pulling.
LOMBARDO: Get him out of here.
Jimmy, move it.
What the hell are you doing? Jimmy, snap out of it.
- Jimmy, wake up.
HOWELL: what is wrong with you? LOMBARDO: Let's go.
Over here.
[COUGHING.]
BOBBY: It's just water.
It's not gonna burn at all.
Okay? Grandma.
Let me work on him.
- He's smiling.
KIM: Look at me.
Look at me.
Good.
- Hey, is Roberts okay? HOWELL: Yeah.
Ceiling falls in on the guy and all he comes out with is a bruised thigh.
WALSH: Jesus.
[KNOCKING.]
Hey.
I wanna go home.
Shift's not over.
You got six more hours.
- I wasn't ready to come back.
- Stay on the can.
You'll be fine.
- I was on the can.
You saw what happened.
- I'll put you outside then on the hydrant.
I shouldn't be here.
I'll call the medical office.
I'll get them to sign you out.
Jimmy When you're ready to come back, you call me.
Lombardo told me what happened.
Why didn't you let them help you? Everybody's okay.
The kids.
The daughter's in the burn unit.
So now you just quit? Go home? Can't do it.
So take a few more weeks off on disability.
Nobody expected you back this soon.
Spend some time as a can man.
- I can't be the can man.
- Why not? I just can't, all right? Is it your pride? You can ask for help, Jimmy.
I don't ask for help.
I'm the one everybody else asks for help.
If I don't have that, I have nothing.
That's not true, Jimmy.
I gotta go.
[MOTOR NOT STARTING.]
I had a hard time getting it started out there.
I owe you an apology.
I could have got out.
Roberts is the one you should talk to.
Danny Gamble really came on to you, huh? I found him in my apartment twice.
The second time he was naked.
You throwing in the towel? Yeah.
Lou sent me home, thinks I came back too early.
I heard you were an excellent fireman.
That's one of the reasons I wanted to transfer here.
Yeah, well.
You did good out there today.
Thanks.
See you.
Yeah.
See you soon.
JIMMY: The most difficult thing to do in sports is to hit a major-league fastball.
I've been thinking about wally Pipp.
Wally Pipp never got in another game.
Lou Gehrig didn't miss a start for 13 years.
In this job I guess I always thought of myself as Gehrig in that story.
