Third Watch s02e22 Episode Script

ANNOUNCER: Previously on Third Watch: I'm laying odds you're gonna quit working: less than a year, become a KB.
- KB? - "Kept bitch.
" This is not just about her being legal.
She was clear with me about that.
Do you believe her? I don't need to be here.
There's nothing wrong with me.
It's gonna be all right, okay? - I love you.
- I love you too.
Imagine how much pain you'd have to be in to do something like that.
Kim thinks the world stops because she doesn't wanna be in it.
- We had a good day, didn't we? - Yeah.
SULLY: It's the mysteries that elude us that excite us.
Somehow we just can't ever seem to figure life out.
I guess that's why it's still worth living.
Surprise party full of twists and turns we don't ever see coming that we never really understand, maybe can't understand.
Like two guys, both of them heading for the same plane.
One gets there a little early.
The other gets caught behind an accident on the Van Wyck and ends up missing that flight.
Next plane's not for three hours.
Bad luck, right? Except the plane blows up and crashes into the Atlantic Ocean.
No survivors.
what's that all about? I saw the guy who missed the plane interviewed on New York 1.
He didn't know either.
Just sort of stared off into space.
Nothing was different for him.
But then again, everything was different for him.
That tall guy in Jurassic Park actor's named Jeff something-or-other-- I can't remember.
--he talked about chaos theory.
I don't know that I understand the theory part of it, but I get the chaos.
The way everything can seem to be okay one second then the next, nothing is.
Like watching one of those documentaries on the Discovery Channel.
All the antelope are just standing around, eating grass looking happy, babies galloping around beside their mothers.
And the next second, they're all running for their lives none of them having seen anything yet.
But they know something isn't right.
It just feels wrong.
You feel that a lot on this job, like something just isn't quite right.
Do you ever wonder about those things? Like every time you slip out of the door, you're no different than those antelope running around the grasslands over in Africa.
That something is lurking out there in the tall grass unseen.
Silent.
Watching.
waiting.
The world is full of danger, most of it from places you never expect.
You're like that mother antelope, wanting to protect her kid from the world.
Pretty damn scary.
But you're not sure how you can.
Or if you can.
Or where to even really start to try.
I think about it a lot.
We all do.
Out here on the street, trying to control the uncontrollable.
[GUNFIRE ON TV.]
- Okay.
- Can't hide.
You can't.
Yes, I can.
Boy.
No, no.
Come on.
Give me a break.
I'm running out of ammunition.
No.
JOEY: Oh! JIMMY: Ah! Oh, man.
- I got you.
I got you.
- You are ruthless, you know that? - I beat you, Daddy.
- I am so dead.
- I had a plasma gun.
- You did.
How'd you get so good? - I've been practicing.
- You've been practicing? Instead of doing What, your vocabulary words, huh? - I did my words.
- You did your words? All right.
That's enough.
You're gonna be late for school, kiddo.
Let's go.
Die, mutant, die.
- Charlie, eat your cereal.
- No.
Now you will be the one to die.
All right, honey, you gotta keep them out of your bowl.
Hey.
Did you hear your mother? Don't play in your food.
I'm done.
All right, then take your bowl in the kitchen and wash it.
- You're just having toast? - Yeah, I'm trying to lose a couple pounds.
Why? You look great.
- Liar.
- No, really.
You're wasting away.
I got an appointment With Dr.
Case this morning.
- Where are the insurance cards? - In the drawer.
- You feeling okay? - Yeah.
It's just a checkup.
When was the last time you went? - I don't know.
Sometime last year.
- Think it was sometime last decade.
- I'm gonna make you an appointment.
- I'm fine.
Oh, quit being such a big baby.
What's the big deal? Hey, you don't gotta prostrate.
Case was a linebacker.
That guy's finger's the size of a broom handle.
Oh, yeah, and like a pelvic doesn't involve a few digits.
- Excuse me.
I don't think so.
- Mom.
What happened, Em? - Your shirt shrank? - This is how everybody dresses.
Really? Well, maybe if you were some 30-year-old divorcee desperate for a husband, maybe I'd let you dress like that.
- I can wear what I want.
- Since when? What, did I die, and suddenly this became a democracy? Go! Right now, go! [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
CATHERINE: Kim? Kim? I knocked, but you didn't answer.
Didn't you hear me? KIM: No.
CATHERINE: what are you doing? - I'm just waking up.
- Have you had any breakfast? - I'm not hungry.
I thought maybe we could go out and do something today.
I took the day off.
It's beautiful out.
We could go into the city, have some lunch, maybe do some shopping.
Let's go out, Kim.
Please.
It'll be fun.
Okay.
Great.
Good.
- You don't have to do this, you know.
- Yeah, I know.
- I want to.
- Now, she may not even recognize me.
Yeah, well, that's okay.
- Come on.
We've come this whole way.
- Okay.
Hey, Mom.
It's John.
- How you doing? - I'm good.
SULLY: Good.
I brought a friend, Mom.
Tatiana Deshenko, this is my mother, Irene.
Hi.
It's so nice to meet you.
And I brought you these flowers.
So here you go.
- I'll put that for you there.
- You're very pretty.
- Thank you.
- And I have your chocolate-covered cherries.
Remember these? Yeah? Tatiana lives across the hall from me, Mom, in my building.
She is in that unit down at the end there by the stairs.
She's always loved these things.
You mind if we just sit with her for a while? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Is that okay? What are we watching, Irene? Hm? You're happy today.
It's good to see you.
What are you gonna do about your apartment? - What? - It's a big place.
Can you afford it without Morales carrying most of the load? You know what? Hold on a minute.
Morales didn't carry most of the load.
Okay? You know, I've been looking for another place.
- You know, you've got three bedrooms.
- No.
- No.
- You know? I could take the bedroom in the back.
- I don't have that much stuff.
- Absolutely not.
You miss her? Yeah.
I bet you miss her.
She was one fine piece of Woman, and a meal ticket to boot.
Huh? - She's so sweet.
She was a good mother.
- The best.
Thank you for coming out here with me.
I mean, I don't even know if she knows that I come anymore but it makes me feel better to do it.
Tatiana.
I've been thinking maybe I'd buy you a ticket.
A ticket? Where? Home.
I got the name of this guy.
He's an immigration lawyer.
And I called him.
And I asked him what you would have to do to get a green card.
- You want me to go back to Ukraine? - Just so you can come back legal.
You'd have to stay there a couple of months.
But he can help you get a permanent work visa maybe even a job at the department as a translator.
A real job.
And if you had some money to spread around While you were back home, he thinks it'd be easy.
But I don't have money to spread around.
No, but I do.
And, you know, Sergei can stay With your cousins out in Queens, and.
You would do that for me? Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You should've seen this outfit Emily had on this morning.
- Yeah? - I swear to God I think the government should regulate access to Britney Spears for minors like they do tobacco and alcohol and X-rated movies.
That's what you get letting her watch MTV.
Look at that.
Look at that little girl on the side of the bus.
I mean, she can't be any more than, What, 15 years old? Where were her parents When they were taking that picture? At the bank cashing the check.
You cut yourself? Band-Aid.
No.
I had a physical this morning.
They couldn't find a vein in my arm.
She's cute.
- Who? - Emily.
- She's gonna have nice legs.
- She's 12.
- If I was 12, you know, I'd do her.
- Bosco, this conversation's over.
TY: So is she gonna go? I talked to her about it for the first time an hour ago.
Yeah, but did it sound like she was gonna take you up on it? I think so.
How much is that gonna cost? Ten grand.
Are you serious? Well, you know, plane tickets, lawyer, the whole thing.
- Damn.
- Hey, this was your idea.
So feel free to donate some cash to the cause.
Well, just think of it as money well spent if she decides to split on you after she's legal.
You're starting to irritate me.
Well, she'd get half your pension in a divorce.

Your doctor's office.

Have you gone out to Jersey and gone off-road? Oh, yeah.
We're gonna do that right after the tractor pull.
- It's fun.
- You know what? Make a left on 98th.
Somebody actually thinks We're gonna find this kid down here? - Bosco, it's our search area.
- You know, I understand it.
What happened today.
I don't agree with it, but I understand it.
I remember when I was in high school.
It was brutal.
I was pissed off all the time.
I had rage.
I know that feeling.
Feeling you could actually kill somebody.
- Well, you didn't.
- No.
I didn't.
You send your kids to school, you figure they're gonna be safe.
I mean, those people seemed normal.
They had a nice house.
They weren't drug addicts or anything.
And the kid had his own room.
He had a closet full of clothes.
You can't know what goes on behind closed doors.
Well, what if they didn't do anything wrong? What if they did exactly What they were supposed to do? They raised their kid right.
They raised their kid with love.
The things that happened Were things they had no control over.
You and Fred have done a really good job With Emily and little Charlie, Faith.
Okay? It's the media.
All the stuff the kids are watching.
I don't buy that.
I grew up on Schwarzenegger and Stallone.
- I'm not going around killing people.
- Video games.
Now we're blaming society's moral decline on Nintendo? - Teaches you how to shoot.
JIMMY: Sure.
If you use your thumbs and a video console to kill somebody.
It desensitizes you.
They use video games to train soldiers.
Joey and I play video games all the time.
He's 7.
He knows the difference between a game and what's real.
- You sure? JIMMY: Yeah, I'm sure.
Stop being so damn patronizing.
Kids aren't that stupid.
So now what? We ban video games and movies and TV and we leave the guns on the street for any kid with 50 bucks? The right to bear arms is in the Constitution, Doc.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So was slavery.
We changed that.
After a Civil war.
I think like half a million people died.
[ALARM RINGS.]

- The media plays some role, Doc.
- So do hormones.
What are we gonna do, lock up all teenage boys? That's not such a bad idea.
All right.
So where does a ninth-grader hide? I used to go up on the roof if my old man was on the warpath.
But I lived in an apartment building.
You think he's walking around out here? Yeah.
He's gonna turn up sooner or later, at his parents' or friends', something.
Thought these kids usually wanted to get caught, you know? Get their picture on the cover of TIME, get famous.
Idiot kept a pistol in a shoebox.
Guess he figured it was a good hiding place.
Yeah.
Obviously, his son had no idea where to find it.
FAITH: Okay.
Yeah, I understand.
Thank you.
It's nice in there.
They got the sports page above the urinal.

It's all right.
What the hell has happened to us? When did we let this happen? I mean, how do we let this happen? What the hell is the matter with everyone? It's a school.
It's supposed to be safe.
We got 1 4-year-old kids with guns killing other kids.
what are we doing? What are we doing? It's not supposed to be like this.
This isn't the world we want.
This isn't the world I want.
It's not supposed to be like this.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What's up? I thought I was gonna be okay, you know? I'm having a really hard time.
I think if I could see more of Joey, I might do better.
He's only 7, Kimmy.
He doesn't understand.
Gets scared.
You really think you're ready to take on more responsibility? I keep thinking it will go away, you know? But it doesn't.
I close my eyes, and it's there.
He shot Bobby.
And I.
I-- I thought he was gonna kill me too.
I just can't get it out of my head, you know? I miss him, Jimmy.
I miss him every day so much.
Fred? Fred.
You all right? We gotta hold our kids, Fred.
We gotta hold them close every day.
You at that school shooting today? - You okay? - I saw Dr.
Case today.
He was all backed up, and I had to get to work.
So I didn't stick around to discuss my test results with him.
So he called later and he told me that he found a spot on my mammogram.
Is there a lump? No.
He said it could be a cyst or something.
He just wants me to get a biopsy so we know for sure.
We gotta hold our kids, Fred.
We got to.
FRED: Okay, honey.
We got to.
We will.
