Third Watch · Season 6, Episode 3

Finney and Davis in “Last Will and Testament”

Davis (to Finney): You did, uh, you did good.

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.
