Davis quotes from Third Watch

Monroe

I hate walking into a dark apartment.

Davis

I'll get the lights.

Monroe

Knight in shining armor, huh?

Davis

Yeah, I wish. It would've helped when that guy was kicking my ass.

Monroe

You saved my life.

Davis

I could argue it was the other way around.

Davis

You know what Sully always says in situations like this? "Crap."

Monroe

Crap.

Davis

Don't tell me about corruption. We're trying to make things right. And if getting the really bad people off the street means I gotta fudge the truth a little bit, every once in a while, I can live with that.

Monroe

Do you know how many brothers are in jail because of cops with that same mentality?

Davis

And how many brothers and sisters get hurt or killed everyday by people who should be in jail but they're not because they got around the system? Tell me that.

Monroe

I'm not gonna have your back on this.

Davis

You don't have to.

Swersky

Davis, you'll be in 5-5 David with a brand new probationary patrolman fresh from the academy.

Davis

A rookie? Seriously?

Swersky

Oh, after the fine homicide arrest you made the other day, I'm making you a Field Training Officer.

Davis

He's on a motorcycle. He could be anyplace. He could be right here in this sector. A sector that you and I are responsible for. Did they not teach you that in the academy?

Finney

I know how this works. I grew up around it.

Davis

Oh, you grew up…You think you're a grown up? I've seen no indication of that.

Finney

Doesn't feel like it.

Davis

That's rough. That's the hardest thing you're ever gonna have to do.

Finney

They forgot to tell us about that at the academy.

Davis

Oh, everyday you're gonna come across things they never told you. The academy's like a foundation. Out here's where you learn to be a cop.

Finney

Ever feel like you weren't gonna be able to do it?

Davis

The job? Yeah. All the time. Look…when you're out here you can't control the day. That's what I was trying to tell you earlier. You... you don't get to choose what happens to you. And you don't just go running around balls out from one thing to the next. Doesn't work like that. The only real control you have is to be as prepared as you can possibly be. For whatever. Whatever the public needs from you that day. To me, that's what it means to be the police. So that's my little speech.

Davis

Let's go, Finney. Let's go.

Finney

I don't need your protection, Davis.

Davis

Fine, kick his ass, Sully. I don't give a damn.

Davis

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

Monroe

Oh, that's been happening a lot lately.

Davis

If they both had their stories straight, the investigation was closed. Then what changed?

Yeah, I wonder.

Davis

What?

Rat Junior shows up here and a month later one of us is behind bars. Nah, I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Finney

I'll ride with her.

Davis

What?

Now why does that not surprise me?

Monroe

You don't have to do that, Brendan.

Davis

Yeah, Brendan, you're having enough trouble fitting in around here.

Finney

Look, I don't give a damn about fitting in, man.

Davis

What made you change your mind?

Same thing that made me keep my mouth shut when I figured out CT Finney killed your old man… You.

Finney

Come on, Sasha. Step back. Let me cuff this guy. Davis, talk to her, man.

Davis

She can do whatever the hell she wants to do.

Oh? That's what it is? Y'all gonna let her shoot me and y'all gonna cover it up? Huh?

Finney

Sasha, come on. Come on, Sasha. You don't wanna do this. Don't give these guys the satisfaction to see you go down like this. Sasha, look at me. Come on.

Brian McKinley was murdered?

Yokas

You know him?

I used to.

Found a Plus-P bullet in his brain.

Police bullet?

Davis

Sharon told me that Raymond Morris was killed last week. Right after I talked to him.

Yokas

Who's Raymond Morris?

The drug dealer that murdered his father.

Davis

Now this IAB guy's dead. This is CT Finney. He's out of control.

Finney

What? You couldn't wait a half an hour? I'm on my way to work right now.

Davis

It's about your father.

Finney

Well, what about my father?

Davis

Something happened today and I want you to hear it from me.

Davis

He's going down, Sully. Don't worry about it.

No, he's not. He was right. A patrol cop is never gonna be able to bring down a captain of the NYPD. This is what I was trying to tell you, Davis. This is real life. Nothing ever turns out the way you think it's going to. Good guys don't always win, the bad guys don't always lose. It's never simple, it's never easy. This guy's gonna win. He's gonna beat this. And the people that are going down are the grunts. People like you and me. People like your father.
