Previously, on Third Watch No These men came into the hospital.
They were they were looking to hurt us, and they shot Maurice.
He's in surgery.
Far as we can tell, the drug dealer's after Yokas, Bosco and Cruz.
His name's Donald Mann, Lieu.
Enjoy the limited life you have left, Sergeant Cruz.
Is that a threat, Donald? A guarantee.
Cruz What are you doing? He drew a knife and tried to stab me, so you shot him.
I shot him because he killed my partner.
He was already in custody.
I know.
Say it.
He drew and tried to stab me.
Stay out of this.
You shot a handcuffed prisoner.
I know what I did.
I don't care.
Davis We can go.
Yeah? Yeah.
Squad's all finished.
IAB's still got to get a piece of us, but Swersky said that could wait till tomorrow.
Sasha? Hmm? Hey.
Five more minutes.
I'll take you home.
You can get all the minutes you want.
We can go? Yeah, we're finished.
I'll call you in the morning.
Hey, Sull you should probably make that the afternoon.
Yeah.
They're here.
Good.
We don't got much time.
There is no "we.
" I'm not going in on a lie with you.
This is prison we're talking about.
It's a murder.
You'll never see your family again.
What the hell do you care what happens to me? He started the day trying to put you, me and Bosco out of commission.
Now, you do what you're thinking, and he got two out of three.
It's not about you or me.
It's about not letting him win.
Now say it.
He drew the knife and tried to stab me.
Fine.
Fine.
I'm going to go put those handcuffs right back on him.
Are you all right? We're good.
This is the guy that sent, uh, the soldiers to the hospital.
Donald Mann.
Why are you wet? I went in to check on him.
What happened? Ask Officer Yokas.
Tell him.
He drew a knife and tried to stab Cruz, so I shot him.
and WARNER BROS.
TELEVISION All right, details, off the record.
All right, you saw Yoshi, right? Yoshi? Handcuffed to the railing downstairs? I never saw Yoshi.
You came up the big staircase? That's the only way up here.
He wasn't there? No, and why would he be handcuffed? Well, yesterday he begs off the raid before we were ambushed.
Says he's going to the funeral.
He never makes it.
Then he shows up at the hospital when he hears we're all dead.
Why would he think that? Well, we put it out that three officers were fatally shot, so no one else would show up at the hospital.
We thought you'd all three be safer.
Did anybody bother to call my family and tell them that it wasn't true? Faith, we didn't use any names.
Damn it.
Can I use your phone? I'm sorry, Faith.
Yoshi sold our names to Mann.
He admitted it.
He's the one who brought me here showed me where Mann lives.
And now he's in the wind? I guess he had another key.
I was pretty focused on getting this son of a bitch.
I'm going to find him.
No, no, you're not going to do anything.
Stay right there.
to Central, K You get hold of them? No.
They're not home? Look, you know what? We're not friends, okay? I'm just trying to All right, don't.
Don't ask about my family.
Don't make small talk with me.
Just don't.
IAB's going to have a field day with this.
IAB? Yeah, they're going to want to talk to both of you, so let's go to the house and get the paperwork started.
I just hate walking into a dark apartment.
I'll get the lights.
Knight in shining armor, huh? Yeah, I wish-- it would've helped when that guy was Cvkicking my ass.
You saved my life.
I could argue it was the other way around.
Ooh Is it that bad? - Nah, it's - Let's see.
No, it's all right.
It's all right.
Now, don't tell me you're shy.
Oh, Ty It looks worse than it is.
You should've had the doctors look at that.
I'm fine, really.
No, you are not fine.
Does that hurt? Not at the moment, no.
What about that? No complaints.
There? I think I can take it.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, Ty Well, how much harder can I try? Your voicemail is all full up.
I keep telling you to try to empty it.
I No, I There wasn't anything else I could do.
No.
Look, why don't you just tell me where you're staying, and, uh and I'll come over, and I'll talk to them.
Fred? Fred Okay, I think you're going to be fine with this.
Yeah? Looks like a whole lot of justifiable shooting to me.
Easiest time I ever had with the IAB.
Hey, well, we're not always the enemy.
Sure.
Did you get a hold of them, Faith? What? Your family? Yeah, just talked to my husband.
Can I leave? Can she? I don't need anything else.
Oh.
You know you're both off for three days, so come by our office on Wednesday before you report back to duty.
We can give you your guns back then.
Is she all right? It's been a hell of a day.
That's an understatement, Lieutenant.
Captain Finney, sir, uh, I was just finishing up, sir.
As a matter of fact, that may be the biggest understatement I've ever heard.
Two cops shot, four dead perps, and perhaps the biggest gun battle in the history of the NYPD.
You took their statements? Uh, yes, sir.
It's right there.
And you're satisfied that all's in order? I, um I'm still investigating You said that looked justified.
So far.
Lieutenant Swersky, you mind if I talk to Sergeant here alone? Actually, Captain, I would.
She's cooperated; she didn't request a SBA lawyer She answered all the questions So she doesn't want to talk to me? No, that's not what I said.
It's okay, boss.
You've already done what's required.
I'm good.
I got nothing to hide.
All right.
I'll go and type this up.
Shut the door.
So, when I heard there was a shooting at the 5-5 tonight, how'd I know you were going to be involved? You didn't call to see if I was all right? Well, I went down to the morgue.
I wanted to see this Donald Mann myself.
I'll bet he looks good in a drawer.
You going to tell me what happened up on that roof? Your boy has my statement.
Uniforms at the morgue said that this Donald Mann pulled a knife on you, so that Yokas shot him.
Mm-hmm.
You're sticking with that? That's what happened.
How do you do it? How do you always find some low-level cop to take the heat for you? Are you accusing me of something? Not yet, Sergeant.
You know where I'll be.
Yeah and I know where you're going.
We almost lost him several times and there's extensive internal trauma.
But the most visible injury is the one to his face.
The bullet entered the upper part of his neck and exited his cheek and eye area.
So, will he be able to see? Eventually.
When would he be able to go back to work? Officer Yokas, your partner's never going back to work.
He'll be lucky if he can walk, talk or feed himself.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Bosco.
I just talked to the doctor.
He, uh He said you're gonna be all right.
So is your mom.
She's still here, but she's better.
And hey, about Donald Mann I just want you to know that I took care of that for you.
Okay? I It's over.
I took care of that for you.
Come back.
You have a good three days? You know I'd rather be here.
Yeah, but I don't know why.
Any word on Bosco? Nothing good.
Yeah, he's tough.
He'll be back.
What happened to last night's 61s? They've already been picked up.
By who? Lieutenant Swersky.
Cruz, wait! Uh, yes, ma'am.
Cruz! You're late.
Who the hell are you? you're to report.
This is my office.
Not anymore.
You working prostitution today? What? Are you going undercover as a whore? No.
Then cover yourself up.
My team will look professional at all times.
Your team? I'm Lieutenant Miller, your new boss.
Cover yourself up and be back up here in five minutes.
And don't be late again or I'll bounce you back into uniform.
Give me room.
Give me room! Welcome back to all my mandatory I trust you used the time to brush up on your summons skills because that's what 1PP is screaming for now.
Nobody shoots at me out there, maybe I'll bring 'em one.
Let's hope the shooting is done for a long, long time.
All right, we have some new assignments now that everyone is back at work.
Sully, you're with Yokas.
Monroe and Davis, you two are together.
Cool.
All right, that's it.
Eyes and ears out there.
Drive or ride, Faith? Doesn't matter.
Yeah, me neither.
Can you give me a second? Sure.
So you're breaking up Davis and Sullivan? Is that a problem? No, it's not a problem.
I was wondering if you're putting me with Sully so he can look after me or something.
Don't read into it, Faith.
It's just a manpower thing.
You decide yet? Drive or ride? Yeah, I'll ride the first half.
Good enough.
Officer Yokas? Yeah? Are you Officer Faith Yokas? What do you want? Your husband is filing for divorce.
You've been served.
You know, you're a hell of a lot better-looking than Sully is.
I can say that.
What's wrong? Did you do this? Did you have the boss put us together? How much sway you think I got? No, did you? No.
No.
It's nice though, right? Ty not at work.
Come on.
Nobody saw that.
Today.
But tomorrow you might do that at the station and I don't want people in my business.
Fair enough.
So what do you wanna do? We could look for a summons or two for the boss.
Okay, brown-nose.
That sounds good.
Uh, there's my bad girls.
You've got to be kidding me.
They're, like, ten.
Oh, I'm serious.
What's up? They're car thieves.
They get a guy to pick them up, tell him they want to party and when the stupid bastard goes into a bodega to get some beer bye-bye, ride.
Had them in like four times in the last year.
Come on, move, damn it! You should have just drove.
I asked which one you wanted.
Why don't you tell me where we're going? I might know a shortcut.
It's up here on the left.
What's going on at Midnight Express? Fred works here.
Faith.
Sully! You need to talk to a lawyer about this.
Let me out of the car.
This is not a good idea.
I said let me out of the car.
Faith, will you just slow down? Will you just Faith! Damn it.
Fred Yokas here? Can I tell him who's asking? Yeah, tell him it's his wife.
If they don't show up by 4:00, the buy is probably off.
We'll scoop them up later, all right? But keep me informed.
Yes, sir.
What do they got going on? Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it? Doesn't concern you.
I'm their sergeant.
We're not going to get into a whole discussion about how a lieu outranks a sergeant, are we? - I don't know.
I don't know where you're from - What's this? Payments to informants.
Line six.
For the whole month.
To one guy? Yeah.
He's good.
He's that good? - Yeah.
I want to meet him.
He's also confidential.
You want to keep paying him, you're going to introduce me to him.
I'm not going to blindly authorize those payments.
All right.
If I see him, I'll say something.
No, no, no.
Right now.
Come on.
I got work.
Listen to me, your first big change, you don't do anything, unless I specifically authorize you to do it.
Do you understand? Now, I need a driver.
I suggest you volunteer.
To be your driver? That's right.
Come on.
What are you doing here? You had me served at work? You're never home.
I wanted to make sure you got them.
I've been at the hospital, Fred.
With Bosco? Yeah, he's hurt bad.
That's a real shame.
Fred, we have to talk about this.
It's over, Faith.
No, what about Charlie and Emily? They'll live with me.
Excuse me? You get home when they're asleep; you wake up after they leave.
The only time you see them is on your days off, so you can have them two days a week.
You're not serious.
I'm dead serious.
Fred, you're a drunk with a mistress on the side.
What? Do you think some judge is going to hand our kids over to you? I haven't had a drink in three years.
I want them away from you.
Away from me? Charlie came crying to me the other night because he saw on Channel 5 that three cops from your precinct were dead.
That's what I want to get them away from.
Fred, I told you that I didn't even know about that.
That's not good enough, Faith.
It's not good enough for them, and it's not good enough for me.
Fred, please don't do this to me now.
I've got a lot going on.
you'll have plenty of time to deal with it.
Now get away from my job.
Faith, come on.
Tell Bosco I said hello.
Shouldn't we felony-stop them? Nah, they're morons.
Ladies.
Long time no see.
Out of the car.
No, stay right where you are and keep your hand where I can see them.
- It's cool.
I know them.
- All three of them? You in the back, exit the right side of the car.
You two in the front, keep your hands where I can see them.
We didn't do nothing.
Unless I ask you a question, you need to be quiet.
You lookin' good, Officer Davis.
You been working out? It's a nice car, Val.
You want a ride? No, thanks, I'm good.
You want to go run the plates? Why don't you let her run the plates and you stay here? Look, if they just tell us we could get this handled.
Damn it.
Hold up! No! Let me out of here.
That's my sister.
No one's going anywhere till you tell me who you lifted the car from.
Oh, you know you ain't gonna do nothing to us.
Not this time, Val.
We got to put down on paper what happened to your girl there.
But that wasn't my fault.
Hey, you want out of the car? Quit wasting my time.
Tell me what's up.
I want to go to the hospital with my sister.
That's the wrong answer.
Any luck on whose car this is? No, I didn't, uh didn't put it in the system yet.
Why not? Here's the thing.
When we find these guys, they never sign complaints.
Why not? That's what these girls look for-- expensive cars and wedding bands.
So, you have their backs by not writing up the report? Why you putting this on me? I can't force them to complain.
Men.
Hey, no, it's not like that.
So, we have a car theft from an uncooperative victim.
Probably.
And a teenager I chased in front of a car.
Yeah.
I need to go to the hospital.
You can't be all day.
Guys, just come on! You know what Sully says in situations like this? Crap.
Crap.
You all right? How much of that did you hear? Only what I couldn't help.
How did my life get so messed up? I-I'm sure it's all gonna work out for the best.
to the station house forthwith, authority of the Platoon Commander.
Fred probably complained.
Well, you did go to his work.
You're right, Sully.
Things are starting to look up already.
Hathis guy on a string about three years.
Info's always good.
Yeah, good and expensive.
Yeah, worth it.
What's up, Cruz? Hey, hey.
How you doing, girlfriend? This is Lieutenant Miller.
Miller, Patch Monk.
I'd shake your hand, but it wouldn't really play on the street.
You know what I'm saying? Yo! Hey, hey.
Drinking on the public way is a crime.
You know what I'm saying? What are you doing? Put your hands up here.
Look what I got here.
Look what I got here.
You have the right to remain silent.
What are you doing? Anything you say will be used against you.
I really want to go to the hospital.
Talk to me.
I thought you and me was tight, Davis.
Uh-uh.
Not even close.
Come on, baby.
You know you're just gonna let us go soon.
You guys are really starting to piss me off.
This is the last time I'm gonna say this, okay? Tell me where the guy is.
Or woman.
Hilda Jenkins--36 Fulton Place.
That's who the car's registered to.
Have you heard anything about my sister? No.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm sure there's a guy involved in this somewhere.
Why don't I go down to this place, see if I can find Mrs.
Jenkins? Maybe if I, you know, tell her first, and there won't, you know, be any reason not to press charges.
Can I kiss you? No.
Okay.
No! All right.
It ain't nothin' but little bit of weed, man.
You got a sheet, Patch.
Ain't no such thing as a little dope collar for you.
How are you gonna do me like this? Huh? Hey.
This isn't her.
This is all me.
All right.
Well, what do you want? What do you got? You mean information? Maybe.
Why didn't you just say so? What kind of information you want? A gun, I want tell my guy where they can get a gun off the street tonight.
What kind of gun you want, man? Surprise me.
Why the hell did you do that? That was my best CI.
He still is.
You think he's gonna give me play now? It took me two years to build his trust.
And now he's gonna give it up for free.
If he starts looking for money again, lock him up again.
I'm not running an ATM here.
When he gives you the gun, let him go.
Now, I'm gonna go to the head, then we're back out there.
What I'm suppose to be, in the Yells, it's not a camp, it's time to blow of fast but they just do it as quickly See, yes sir, no sir, and that lies too.
Why are you with me today? What? Are you watching me or something? No.
'Cause I don't need a baby-sitter, Sully.
Nobody's watching you.
In the roll call room, Faith.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Hey, Cruz? Watch your back.
Who is this? A friend.
IAB has a plant in the 5-5, and they're after you.
Who is this? Watch your back.
Did he give it up? Yeah.
Uh uh Just checking.
Hurry it up.
Yes, sir.
We've been having some problems, and then today, he served me with papers, and I just kind of freaked out, and, um, I realize now that I should have handled it on my own time.
But I want you to know that, uh, Sullivan was still monitoring the radio, and I This isn't about Fred? Downtown is promoting you to detective.
Excuse me? Meritoriously.
For what? As I understand it, it's a combination of reuniting that missing girl with her family last month, and saving Sergeant Cruz' life on that roof the other night.
The roof Not that anyone asked, but I can't think of a more deserving officer.
I'll get you a copy of the order with when and where to report.
Congratulations, Detective Yokas.
Mrs.
Jenkins? Police.
Mrs.
Jenkins? Hello? Hey, Sasha, listen, you better separate those girls.
Get some help.
I don't think it's safe to do it alone.
Now, I'm pretty sure they murdered somebody for their car.
Yeah.
All right.
Crap.
What do you mean you're not taking it? I'm not taking the promotion.
Are you crazy? You'll get out of the bag.
It's more money, plus there's going to be a lot of overtime.
It's complicated.
How? Look, Sully, when Bosco gets out of the hospital, I'm gonna get back in that car with him.
Faith, we've all seen him.
He's not coming back.
You would never leave Davis hanging.
I think you need to be thinking about yourself here.
That's all I've been doing, and I am losing my husband and my kids.
Look, I know you're going through a lot right now, but you need to seriously consider this opportunity.
You're gonna have more flexible hours.
That's got to help in your custody case.
Fred is not getting the kids.
Yeah, my sister swore that she was gonna get full custody of her kid, too.
Then the judge cited her hectic schedule, and gave the kid to my lousy ex-brother-in-law.
Was your ex-brother-in-law a drunk? No, but from what I hear, Fred used to be a drunk, and you're still a cop, so, if I was you, I would take this promotion and get myself a lawyer.
What's going on? What, you gonna beat us up now? You're not worth the sweat.
Get up.
Get up! Damn! I'm already in a cage.
Yeah, and you're gonna stay that way for a long time, too.
Yeah, we'll see about that.
What's going on? Officer Davis is hooking you two up.
You're getting separate cells.
Monroe, can I have a word? Yeah.
Where are you going? Your perp in the hospital died.
I'm sorry, Regina, but it's your sister.
Cynthia just died in the hospital.
she did it.
What? Cynthia.
Cynthia killed that old lady.
She killed her for her car.
I didn't even know it happened until later.
You must have been flabbergasted.
For real.
So, how'd she tell you? We was just hanging out, and she drove up, and axed if we wanted a ride.
Me and Regina, and we was, like, "Cool.
" And then she even asked if I wanted to drive, so I was, like, "Whose car is this anyway?" And that's when she said it.
She just said she killed that old lady.
She just came right out and told you? Right out.
And that's why she ran away from you guys.
So, you weren't even in the house? What house, sir? So, uh, you'll write this all down? Sign a statement? Absolutely.
Anything you need.
Only, could I get a soda or something first? Sure.
Please, Davis, get her a soda.
Are you really gonna let Val do this to your sister, Regina? I need to tell my mom about Cynthia.
Uniforms are on their way over to her house now.
My brother was killed two years ago.
Imagine when she hears your sister's going to her grave a murderer.
God knows what really happened.
It isn't true, is it, Regina? Val is Val is what? Are you scared of Val? Nah.
Well, then tell me what happened, Regina.
Tell me what happened today.
We were just We just wanted to go down to H&M to get some clothes.
But Val didn't want to ride the subway.
We stood on the corner for almost an hour, but no guys came by that wanted to pick us up.
We were about to give up, and then this old lady drove up in a Audi.
So, we followed her, and then Val tried to take her keys, but she fought with her.
This little old lady fought her.
So, Val got all pissed, and started started beating her head in with this wooden thing that was on the counter.
And then the lady stopped moving.
So, Val took the keys and this, like, medal that was around her neck.
And we ran out.
Where's the medal now? I think Val's still wearing it.
She kept showing it to me in here when you weren't looking.
She thinks it's pretty funny.
She won't be laughing long.
If we would've just rode the subway, my sister would still be here.
So would Mrs.
Jenkins.
So, where'd you come from? You mean as a child? Your last command.
You telling me you don't know? I ran a detective squad in Brooklyn.
So, why'd you get bounced? Are-are you trying to piss me off? Huh? I didn't get bounced.
I took a new command.
Why here? I mean, an Anti-Crime unit in the 5-5 isn't exactly a move up.
You know, why don't you juo yourself a favor and shut up and drive? What are you doing? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What you doing? Didn't see? What are you doing? Don't resist! Quit crying! Sergeant Cruz.
Quit crying! Please! Sergeant Cruz.
What? Uncuff him.
What?! I said uncuff him.
Not funny.
Uncuff the prisoner, or I'll bring you up on insubordination charges and have your badge before the end of the night.
You'd like that, wouldn't you? Oh, sweetheart, that's your choice.
I could care less.
Go on pie, and take a high.
What the hell was that about? What did I tell you this afternoon? You do nothing unless I authorize you to do it.
Ignore crime that's happening right in front of me? That's right, unless I tell you to do something about it.
Hell no.
Why this Anti-Crime unit in the 5-5? Yeah, I want to know why.
Let's hear.
Because you're out of control.
Your whole team's out of control.
You're a renegade, overcompensating for the fact that you're a woman and a minority hire.
A minority hire.
The days of you running cowboy over these streets are over.
We're going back to the basics: pros, decoys, pickpockets, guns-- and only if I tell you to do something about it.
And if you got a problem with that, your exit paperwork is in my desk, filled out, ready for you to sign.
You think you're going to scare me off this job? I don't give you that much thought.
Now drive me back to the house so I can sign you out before you hit me up for some bogus overtime charge.
Get in.
You do nice work.
I love a good slam-dunk like this.
I owe it to my partner.
Yes, you do.
You make a good team.
Yes, we do.
See you out there, Jel.
Wait.
It doesn't say here why you pulled 'em over in the first place.
Excuse me? The initial stop.
What'd you pull 'em over for? Oh, th-these girls-- every time we see 'em, they're in a stolen car.
Known felons.
Beautiful.
Are those reports on file? Reports? Yeah.
61s and arrest reports from all the other stops? Well, Sully and I-- we always just get the cars returned.
Don't tell me this.
What's wrong? You need documentation from prior crimes.
Otherwise, you conducted an illegal stop.
Yeah, buthe car was stolen.
But not reported.
They killed the victim.
Look, all you got is the initial stop.
Everything else came off of that.
If the stop was bad, everything else goes away.
Everything? Everything.
Fruits of a poisonous tree.
All right.
Uh What if they ran a stop sign? What? Traffic stop works.
Okay.
They ran a stop sign, We asked them for the registration.
Didn't match the name.
Brought 'em back here for further investigation.
So, there's a traffic ticket? Y-Yes.
It's upstairs.
All right, good.
Can I talk to for a second? What are you doing? I'm getting the conviction.
Theirs or ours? If it makes you feel better, I'll say you were looking the other way.
You're going to have to testify to that; that's perjury.
So what? What? You want to let these hoodrats walk on a technicality? A woman is dead, Sasha.
I stood over the body.
Yeah.
If you and Sully weren't so concerned about protecting cheating husbands all this time, we wouldn't be in this position.
You got to be kidding me.
They confessed to a murder.
What do you need? Oh, a ticket here, a ticket there.
Then what? Are you going to start planting evidence? Aren't you being dramatic? No, I'm not.
This is corruption.
Corruption? Don't tell me about corruption.
We're making things right, and if getting the bad people off the street means I got to fudge the truth a little bit every once in a while, I can live with that.
You know how many brothers are in jail because of cops with that same mentality? How many brothers and sisters get hurt or killed every day by people who should be in jail, but they're not, 'cause they got around the system? I'm not going to have your back on this.
You don't have to.
Fine.
Just so you know, my new boss is a rat.
You have a new boss? Yeah.
Son of a bitch named Miller, Lieutenant Miller.
He's an IAB plant here to take me down.
- Don't talk to him.
- No problem.
Hey, Sasha.
Hey.
Everything all right? No.
Is there anything I can do? You can mind your business.
I'm sorry, I Don't worry about it.
I hear congratulations are in order.
For what? She made detective.
Yeah? Yeah, meritoriously, for what happened on the roof the other night.
No kidding.
At least someone had a good day.
You going to come to the hospital, Sasha? Uh, no, not tonight.
I-I just I got some stuff I need to take care of, but tell him I said hello.
Absolutely.
How do you know he's a plant? Hmm? Your new boss.
How do you know he's a plant? Someone called me anonymously and said there was a rat in the house and to watch my back.
What do you got? Nothing.
Why the hell'd you call me? I think I may need to change precincts.
Someone warned Cruz that there may be a plant in the 5-5.
They say it was you? No, not really.
She thinks it may be her new boss.
Cruz sort of trusts you.
We're not going to get this sort of opportunity again.
Yeah, but they suspect.
Detective Monroe, I need to know what happened up on that roof.
Sergeant Cruz murdered Donald Mann.
Now, there's risks that come with the job.
You knew that when you signed up for IAB.
What if it happened exactly they way they said it did? Yokas saved Cruz's life.
I saw the body.
Mann had handcuff marks on his wrists.
Do you know how hard it is to draw a knife with handcuffs on? God This is not about a free cup of coffee.
This is about murder.
I get it.
I want her.
Don't call me till you have her.
Get out.
