No! They're gonna take away my babies! The leukemia has progressed.
You're in marrow failure, and if your platelets drop too low, you're gonna bleed out.
Well, what can you give me to make it stop? Chemotherapy.
I'm not gonna put that stuff in my body.
I want you to meet my family.
You're dangerous out there, Bosco.
No, it was an accidental shooting.
My old partner would have never missed that shot.
My old partner would have never questioned me.
Bosco No, you got anything else to say to me, talk to the union rep.
Kind of a one-woman show.
I get that.
But don't think you're gonna face this alone out there.
'Cause you won't.
Monroe was shot.
She gonna be okay? Yeah.
- What, she's in Mercy? - No, but, Davis she was pregnant.

What? Is she alive? Barely.
Looks like meth, Doc.
Hmm? You get high? You want to tell me who this is? My sister.
Sarge? Hey, hey, Sarge? They had pastellios de guayava, but then I thought how fattening they are, so I only got you the coffee.
Hmm.
Here.
Ain't nothing like a little cafe Cubano to get a little stakeout started.
You okay? Yeah.
Coffee smells good.
Tell me you got some sugar.
Cafe Cubano doesn't need any sugar.
And besides, you didn't ask for sugar.
- Manny - I'll go get some.
- No, forget it.
- It'll only take a second.
- No, I said forget it.
- You sure everything's cool? You ask me again, okay, I'm gonna pour this in your lap.
Just shut up.
Message received.
C.
I.
said the drop was gonna happen anytime between 12:00 and 5:00.
Aw, man, that's like an appointment with the cable company.
You feeling sick? Just a cough.
I'm cool.
Look, Sarge, if you want, me and Marcus could sit on this.
You're not enjoying my company? It's not that.
I just feel like if you're feeling sick, maybe you need to go I'll tell you what I need, Manny.
I need some sugar.
How much further? You sound like an eight-year-old.
There have to be bed-and-breakfasts closer than this.
The further from the rat race, the more relaxing the weekend will be.
Relaxing? My ass is already killing me from the drive.
Enjoy the scenery.
It's dark.
Look, see that cow over there? I just said it's dark out.
- I'm not gonna see a cow - All right, that cow, then.
Okay, what about him? She's outstanding in her field.
- Oh! That was - You thought that was funny.
That's stupid.
It was stupid funny.
You know next time that we have a couple days off, I get to pick the vacation.
All right, I thought it would be a nice surprise, but if you're gonna whine all the way there Surprise? We're gonna visit my folks.
Your parents?! You know, now they got these portable game thingys with the old school games on it like Pac-Man, Defender, and Asteroids.
No kidding.
Yeah.
Who needs all that confusion on games nowadays? I mean, with Asteroids, it was all about this little white triangle shooting these little white dots.
At these funny shaped rocks, and all on a plain black background.
Hours of fun, I tell you.
Hours of fun.
Man, I wish I had one of those game thingys right now.
Can you shut up? That noise, Manny, is so not working for me.
Sorry.
Look what do you say we pack it in? It's almost morning already.
Yo, yo, yo, Manny! Oh, my God.
TooNs Season 6 - Episode 19 Welcome home .
: team Third Watch :.
Manny, come on with the blanket! Here, here.
I got it.
Can you tell me what happened? Look at me, look at my eyes.
Can you tell me what happened? Help is on its way.
Manny, stay here.
I got it, I got it.
Stay with me, okay? Stay with me.
What happened? Don't know for sure.
All I know is, she was on fire.
Get back, Sergeant.
Get back.
I just wanted to see if there was any people inside.
You guys, see if anybody saw anything.
Hey, Finney, clear them out over there.
I got it.
They took her to Mercy.
I'll never get used to the smell of burning skin.
You awake? You can't just spring parents on somebody like that with no warning.
If I had said, "Hey, let's drive ten hours into the sticks so you can meet my parents," you would have had a complete meltdown.
No, I wouldn't.
You're having one now.
It's because you kidnapped me.
You're allegedly not a kid.
Well, it's person-napping.
I'm being taken somewhere against my will.
I'm definitely being some kind of napped.
Sylvia Cardenas.
That's what the business license says.
It's the first time I ever been in one of these.
Your first time in a botanica? What kind of Latino are you? We don't all frequent botanicas, Manny.
Not even for a candle? Corner market sells candles.
Not like these.
Look at this beautiful picture of Santa Barbara, patron saint of prisoners.
- Prisoners? - There's a patron saint for everything.
What about, uh, Santa Claus, huh? Is he the patron saint of toys? Hey, easy with that sacrilegious talk.
Don't tell me you're one of those guys that has to a light a candle every time something goes wrong.
Not every time.
Yeah, well, that's how my sister was.
Look how she ended up.
Here's the cause of the fire.
Loosely translated, Florida Water.
Agua Florida? You know about this? Yeah, it's used in cleansing rituals.
Our vic was probably using the water on herself and got too close to a candle.
When whacky rituals go bad.
Thank you, sir.
Whacky? You seem to know a lot about this.
A lot more than me, and I I grew up with it.
Took an intro course at Hunter, Black and Puerto Rican Studies.
Got an A.
Santeria's an interesting religion.
Religion? Yeah.
More like hocus-pocus.
No, it's-it's it's a West African religion, brought over by the slaves to the Caribbean.
They hid their religion from the Spaniards by fusing their ritual with elements of the Catholic church.
Hence, Santa Barbara is also known as Chango, Africa's greatest king and the god of thunder and lightning.
Sounds like a comic book superhero to me.
Oh, you got jokes.
I just I don't believe in this stuff.
What do you believe in? Me.
Whoa.
Check this out.
Looks like there was some kind of struggle here.
What do we have here? More Agua Florida.
So, you think someone lit this place up? Or someone lit our vic up.
Where the hell are we? They live in a rural area.
How rural? Very.
Oh, tell me they have indoor plumbing.
Where's your sense of adventure? They don't have indoor plumbing? Here's the house.
Sweetie! Hi, Mom.
Oh, and you must be Carlos.
Yes.
Oh, it's wonderful to finally meet you.
Finally.
Ma'am.
Oh! Charles Benjamin.
Call me Chuck.
Carlos Nieto.
You can You can call me Carlos.
Hey, Larry.
Yokas.
What, are you lost? No, I was, um I was in the neighborhood.
Doing what? You need a passport to get here from the 5-5.
And shots.
So can I ask you something, Larry? Oh, so you weren't just "in the neighborhood"? You qualified a few weeks ago down at the pistol range.
I talked to Vince down there.
Yeah? So, uh you got the lowest scores you ever had.
Yeah, I had a bad day.
You're on the pistol team, Larry.
So I can't miss sometimes? You barely qualified.
So? So Bosco was next to you on the line.
So you know what I'm thinking, Larry? I'm thinking that maybe, I don't know, maybe you helped him out a little bit.
Maybe you threw some of your shots his way? What is this? What do you mean? You got a beef with Bosco or something? He shot another cop, Larry.
What I hear, a perp pushed her into the line of fire.
That could happen to any of us.
Yeah, well "any of us" don't have problems seeing out of our eye so that we need somebody else to help us qualify.
You're looking to trick-bag your ex-partner over an accidental shooting of some IAB rat bitch? Did you help him qualify, Larry? No.
Don't ask me again.
Bosco's right, you sure as hell ain't the same Faith Yokas you used to be.
You must be starving.
Mm-hmm.
How was the drive, honey? Oh, it was long.
Well, then you should move back home.
Uh, honey, I didn't know whether to make a late breakfast or an early lunch, or an early afternoon snack, so I made a little bit of everything.
And, Carlos, I don't know what Spanish people eat, so if you need anything, just ask.
Um, actually, I'm-I'm Hawaiian.
A Hawaiian named Carlos? My first foster family named me.
Carlos because you look like you're Spanish? Let's change the subject, Mom.
What? I didn't say anything was wrong with looking Spanish.
Holly's first husband was a Jew.
Levine, that's a Jewish name.
So, basically you don't have any idea who you are, do you? Can we drop this? Excuse me if I'm looking out for your gene pool.
Don't worry.
Her gene pool's safe.
We're not that serious.
Yet.
Oh.
I mean, we're serious, we're just not officially serious.
We're more like, uh, casually serious.
Oh, I see.
You're just "casually" sleeping with my daughter? Oh, no, that part's serious.
Oh.
Honey, why don't you take Carlos and show him around? Right.
That's a that's a great idea.
I'd love to see around.
You know that cows are outstanding in their fields? Yeah, that's a good one.
Oh.
Was that a joke? Mom! Sarge.
What'd you get me? Whole lot of "I didn't see anything.
" No surprise.
There's a lot of illegal immigrants in this neighborhood, Anything on Sylvia? Yeah, turns out she filed a couple of complaints against a Jaime Castro.
He's got a business around here.
That's his address.
So what do we do? Let's go pay, uh, Mr.
Jaime Castro a visit.
Do you need us to come with you? Hey, guys, you need to wipe some of thatbrown stuff off of your nose.
Huh? Hey, Manny, Sarge.
You need to see this.
Looks like somebody was playing doctor.
Another botanica, huh? Making up for lost time, Miss Latina? Yeah, maybe Jaime Castro has the Santa Claus candle.
And you still got the damn jokes.
Jaime Castro? Hello.
NYPD.
We'd like to have some words with you.
Hello.
Hello! NYPD! Sarge.
He's still breathing, Sarge.
- Hey, Bos.
- Hey, man.
Visiting Monroe? Yeah, I just stopped in for a few minutes.
I'm headed back to work.
I'm on modified duty for the next couple days.
How's she doing? Good.
You know, considering.
I got to head back out there.
You know, I've been trying to catch up with you.
Just, uh Listen, that woman went for her gun.
All right.
They struggled, she pushed Monroe in the line of fire.
That's it, all right? There was nothing I could do.
No, I was just going to say you don't have to avoid me.
I know what kind of cop you are, you say it wasn't your fault, I believe you.
I trust you.
I really got to go.
Carlos, you sit here in the place of honor.
Thank you.
And I made a pork roast.
Hawaiians eat pork, don't they? Merlene, you've been to a luau.
Oh, that's right.
They had this big pig with an apple in his mouth and everything.
I just never eat anything I've looked in the eye.
I mean, that's just about my only food rule.
- Mom.
- What, honey? I'm vegan? Come on.
You haven't gotten over that nonsense? Taking care of my body is nonsense? Well, honey, what the hell do you think God made cows for? Lawn ornaments? Honey, there's rice for you.
That's it? Rice? Well, Orientals live on it.
Asians.
- They prefer to be called Asians.
- When did that happen? I wish everybody would make their minds up on what the hell they want to be called and stick to it.
Murder on the Asian Express doesn't have a very good ring to it.
- Mom.
- Honey, I'm just trying to make conversation.
Now, how long are you two staying? Maybe I can take Carlos hunting.
Oh, you're not going.
It's cruelty to animals.
Would somebody please tell me how I ended up with a daughter who was raised in Virginia, moved to New York became a Californian? Well, actually, uh, I'd love to go.
It sounds like fun.
It's not fun for the deer? We'll throw them a little party before we shoot them.
How about celibacy, does that sound like fun? That's a Catholic word, isn't it? Are you Catholic? - No, ma'am.
- Doesn't matter if you are.
We like everybody here.
- Mom.
- I'm just trying to make Carlos comfortable.
Are you comfortable, Carlos? I'm as comfortable as I can be.
You go behind my back? It's nice to see you, too, Bosco.
You talked to Larry Busante? I told you to your face, "I'm gonna look into this.
" My word isn't good enough for you anymore? Faith.
I told you it was an accident.
Larry is an expert marksman, okay? The day that you go to re-qualify, he gets the lowest scores of his career.
- You're some piece of work, you know that? - I'm trying to help you, Bosco.
- You shouldn't be out there.
- Trying to help me? How is this going to help me, huh? How is this going to help me? 'Cause not being able to see is a good reason not to be on the street.
You know what? Just stay out of my business! What was that all about? Bosco.
Drama.
Sergeant Cruz, he's up.
I'm gonna go talk to him.
Jaime Castro? Yes? Sergeant Cruz, 55th Precinct.
Is my store okay? Your store is fine.
Mr.
Castro.
I'm not going to be pressing any charges, Sergeant.
I know the man who hit me.
We had a disagreement; it turned ugly.
You know about a, uh, Sylvia Cardenas? What about her? When was the last time you saw her? Couple of weeks ago.
Why? What has she done now? Not a whole lot.
She died this morning.
Died? You don't know anything about this, Mr.
Castro? 'Cause, see, from what I hear, you, uh you guys had some problems.
Sylvia is was a phony.
A fake.
I had issues with a lot of the things she did, and I'd tell it to her face.
But harm her? Never.
That's not who I am.
What kind of issues? She passed herself off as a Santera.
Spiritual healer.
People would come to her, and she would claim that she could read them, you know, spiritually.
Right.
She couldn't read anything past the $25 fee she charged them for the reading.
She took advantage of people in our community, especially the illegal immigrants.
Took advantage of their beliefs.
Isn't that what you do? I help people.
You help people? With candles? Florida water? You don't have to believe it, but at least respect it.
Spiritual healing wasn't the only thing that Sylvia was doing.
Apparently, she was also a surgeon.
You know something about that, Mr.
Castro? Hey.
Hey.
Got you a plant.
I know it's not much.
I just figured the room could use it.
Wish you would've brought me a Big Mac, super-sized.
Come on, now, you got your mashed potatoes.
They look edible.
And your, uh, ham, or steak.
What the hell is that? It's supposed to be chicken and rice.
I can't eat this crap.
How you feeling? Better.
Yeah? What's the doctor saying? I get to go home in a few days.
Cool.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for the way that I treated you, and, uh all the terrible things that I said to you.
I just Why? Why what? Why now? I Because you come and visit me every day and you bring me a plant? Because I'm the same person that you didn't want to have anything to do with last week and I just want to know what the difference is.
Because I was pregnant with your child, and now you feel sorry for me? No.
Why? Because I got shot? No.
Then why, Ty? What's the difference now? Me.
Ever since we broke up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't convince myself that I didn't care about you anymore.
Couldn't do it.
And I couldn't figure out why.
And then I heard you got shot, and, uh right at that moment, I mean, before I even heard about the baby, right at that moment, I realized that I love you.
I do.
I love you.
And I never told you that.
His name's Ernesto.
He came to see me a couple of days ago.
His wife was pregnant.
They wanted to get rid of it.
I told him he should get her into a hospital or a clinic, but they're here illegally from Mexico.
So he, uh, took her to Sylvia's Botanica.
- I don't know.
- Then what did you two disagree about? We didn't.
He stormed into my store, kept saying over and over about how it was my fault.
I had no idea what he was talking about.
He kept getting more and more irrational.
I told him to leave my store, and that's when he did it.
He hit me in the head, knocked me out.
Okay.
Where can I find Ernesto? Thank you.
I, uh, guess you do help people.
Sergeant, don't ever be afraid to ask for it.
- Hmm? - Help.
She's dead.
Should I call it in? No, not yet.
Look, Sarge, I don't want to front or anything, but th-this-this whole setup is creeping me out.
Well, don't get too creeped out, 'cause we're going to sit here and we're going to wait.
What? Yeah, we're going to sit and wait until Ernesto comes back.
- This is Holly's cousin, Diane.
- Yeah? And these are her little twins, Phillip and Andrew.
- Look.
- Her husband has a great job.
He works for the government.
- He's a mailman.
- That's the government.
And look, this is my niece Sally.
Isn't she cute? She's so intelligent.
You know, she's a doctor, a real doctor.
Mother.
What? You mean a "real" doctor as opposed to a paramedic? Holly's so sensitive about her underachieving.
- Um, Holly's a great paramedic.
- Oh, I'm sure she is.
And what do you do, Carlos? I'm a paramedic, too.
We, uh we work together.
Oh, that's sweet.
And good for you.
You know, it's a noble profession.
When I do it, I'm underachieving, but when he does it, it's noble? - Honey, he's a minority.
- He's Hawaiian.
How many Hawaiians did yo have in your graduating class? That's a minority.
Enough with this minority thing, okay, it's offensive.
Are you offended, Carlos? He's not going to say yes, he's being polite.
- You're being polite? - Yes, Mom.
He's being polite! Carlos.
Come see my dogs.
Thanks for the rescue, Chuck.
I should've warned you she does that.
It's just the way she's wired.
Excuse me? Oh, you know the way Merlene was putting the moves on you.
Oh, no, she was just showing me the family scrapbook.
- Sure she was.
- No, really Look, you don't have to apologize.
I'm used to it.
I don't even mind.
Makes me feel better about my own occasional indiscretions.
Yeah.
I mean, no.
I- I mean, I know what you mean about you, not me.
Not that I think that I'm better than you.
Look, sir, I think that your daughter deserves total loyalty.
Not that your wife doesn't.
Those are some nice dogs.
Whoo.
She looks empty.
What? Dead people.
They always look like they're missing something.
They are.
Their soul.
You ever think of dying? No.
Are you afraid? All I know for sure is I don't want to.
I'll fight to stay alive.
But if I needed some kind of operation or something, I'd take the risk.
Well, what if the treatment was going to make you sicker than you already were, and then, even then, there was no guarantee that it was going to really work? There's no guarantee you're going to live through a shift on this job, but you keep coming back.
He's running! 5-5 Crime-Sergeant, I'm in pursuit of a male Hispanic running west on 116 towards Lex.
- He's wearing a gray coat.
- You guys hear that? - Want to take a ride? - REPLIQUE DE BOSCO - - What's going on? - Foot chase.
Where you going? You're on modified duty.
So? So, Bosco, you can't go back out on the street.
Are you kidding me? Get out of my way.
No, this isn't about you anymore.
- You either go to Swersky, or I will.
- Do what you got to do.
Now, get the hell out of my way.
- Needle in a haystack.
- 5-5-Crime-Sergeant to Central.
Suspect has entered marketplace at Manny, go left.
You go left.
Secure all exits.
Rear exits secure.
Check there, Finney.
Finney, back here, back here.
Excuse me.
He's headed out the front! Out of the way.
Good job, Bosco.
- Uh, ma'am? - Yes? Oh, relax, Carlos.
I'm sorry.
Did he accuse me of putting the moves on you? - Oh, no, ma'am, no.
- Oh, yes, he did.
He's just trying to get under your skin.
Why? We live out here in the country.
What else do we have to do? Where's Holly? She's, uh packing.
She is? You're leaving.
I went to the hospital today.
You were supposed to stay for observation.
I'm fine.
Is Ernesto going to be okay? How-How How do you know that we caught him? I'll light a candle for him.
What did you want? I'm sorry? Well, you said you went to the hospital earlier looking for me.
Yeah, I went to tell you that we caught Ernesto and to see how you were feeling.
That's thoughtful.
Good night.
But what is that you really wanted? Being a cop, you realize pretty early on that lighting a candle isn't gonna make a junkie not rob and kill an old man, or a little girl not be raped by her father.
Lighting a candle is only supposed to ask the spirits for someone like you to come along and help.
Spirits didn't make me become a cop.
I grew up in a neighborhood where I was constantly seeing women being victims, and I didn't want to be like that.
I didn't want to be a victim.
Do you think any of those victims ever lit a candle? Ever prayed for someone like you to come and save them? Everyone has to have something to believe in.
I believe in me.
Well, you don't have to be alone, Sergeant.
They weren't that bad.
- They weren't! - Would you stop being nice! I'm not that nice.
Look, I didn't grow up in a family.
- I thought it was interesting.
- Interesting? I've only seen that kind of dysfunction in the movies.
Oh, you want to come up with some other jokes? I'm sorry.
Oh, that's all my life is good for, you know what, a punch line.
- Your parents are crazy.
So what? - They're not crazy.
They have trouble expressing affection.
Your dad kisses his dogs on the mouth, and your mother gushes over pictures of your cousin.
They have trouble expressing affection to you.
- Thanks a lot.
- You're nothing like them.
How can you say that? Look at them.
No wonder I am how I am.
I told them that I had this great life in New York, that I had a nice apartment, and a great job, and an amazing boyfriend, and somehow, I walk away from the whole situation feeling like it's not true.
You said I was amazing? I don't know why I let them do this to me.
Then don't.
So, what, I'm-I'm like your trophy guy? So why did we leave? I thought I was doing pretty good.
My mother What? She asked me how bad the situation was in New York that I would actually consider you amazing.
Well, I got to say, that's that's a good question.
No, it's not.
You're sweet, and you're loving and It doesn't matter what they think.
But they're my parents.
What matters is what you think.
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to run away from me now.
Are you kidding? You taught me something today that no one ever has.
I did? You made me appreciate being an orphan.
Do you have family? Someone to come home to? No, but that's because I work a lot.
No.
That's why you work a lot.
I don't think you came back tonight to tell me Ernesto got arrested.
I think you came back because you're afraid.
I've been having these dreams.
My sister in white.
Your sister's passed? Two years ago.
And you're sick.
How did you know that? A visit from a loved one is a very powerful symbol.
I have leukemia.
Santeria can't fight leukemia.
That's going to take doctors and medicine.
But for what's in here well, we can help.
And for what's up there definitely.
You can't heal the body if your spirit's broken.
And you're gonna help me? Come with me.
Hey, Lieu can I talk to you for a minute? Sure, Faith.
What can I do for you? It's about Bosco.
