Faith: New York City is a zoo. Especially on New Year's Eve. I got the wonderful task Of working a double. Times Square is full of people already. It's only 1 PM, but It's packed. This is the one-day of the year that I dread being a police officer.
Faith's apartment. The television is on.
Reporter: For all of you folks headed out to Times Square this evening, better bundle up. Snow is in the forecast for tonight's ball drop.
Faith turns off the television.
Faith: Great. Just great. A sloppy, snowy mess. Just what I always wanted coupled with A couple hundred thousand people. Bosco: It's not going to be that bad. Faith: Yeah. This is coming from you of all people. It's the busiest night of the year. You hate getting stuck in traffic! Let's go or we're gonna be late for work.
Kim and Alex are already at work.
Alex: Is everything okay? Kim: Yeah, why? Alex: Ever since Christmas you seem a little preoccupied. Kim: I'm fine. Alex: Now Kim, I'm your partner. I know when something is wrong. Kim: I guess I'm just not feeling well. Alex: Might be a bug. You should go home. Kim: It's not a bug. Alex: Then what? Kim: I'm pregnant.
Alex pulls the bus over to the side of the road.
Alex: I'm sorry; I don't think I heard that right. Kim: No, you heard it just fine. Alex: Congratulations. I think. Kim: Thanks. Alex: Does Jimmy know? Kim: Yeah, I told him right after church on Christmas. Alex: You've gone a whole week without telling me? I'm insulted.
They both laugh.
Central: Boyd 55-3 MVA 109th and Amsterdam. Kim: And so it begins. Alex: 109th and Amsterdam. Davis and Sully are driving around.
Davis: You ready for tonight? Sully: What's there to be ready for. A bunch of drunks watching a ball drop. I hate New Year's. Every crazy nut in the city comes out of the woodwork. Davis: Come on Sul, it's not that bad. Sully: Come on Davis, you worked it last year. Davis: Yeah, it wasn't that bad. Sully: I'm telling you that tonight is going to be intense.
DK, Jimmy, and Walsh are playing cards at the table.
DK: So Jimmy. Jimmy: What? DK: You've been a little chipper lately. Jimmy: Can't a guy just be happy once in a while? Walsh: No. Happiness is the downfall of mankind. DK: Yeah. What did you do to Kim now? Jimmy: Why do you always assume. DK: Because the only girl you've been seein is Kim. Walsh: Yeah so what happened? Jimmy: Nothing happened. DK: You can't lie to us. Jimmy: Alright. Alright already. Kim's pregnant. Walsh: Way to go Jimmy. DK: Wow. That was unexpected. Walsh: You guys getting married again? Jimmy: We haven't really talked about what we are going to do. DK: Did you tell Joey? Jimmy: Not yet.
Carlos walks in.
Carlos: Hey guys, what's going on? DK: Nothing. Jimmy: Yeah, go return to the planet you came from. Carlos: You know what? Jimmy: No. So why don't you tell me?
Carlos is silent.
Jimmy: Come back and finish that statement in about 20 years!
Carlos walks away. Jimmy, DK, and Walsh are all laughing when the girls come in.
Kim: What's so funny? Jimmy: Carlos. Alex: What'd he do this time? Jimmy: Nothing. He was just being Carlos. Kim: Well, that's normal then.
Faith and Bosco walk into the station. The Lieutenant was standing there.
Lieu: Bosco. Bosco: Yeah Lieu? Lieu: You got traffic duty on 95th.
Faith is laughing in the background. Bosco hated traffic duty.
Bosco: What? Why'd I get nailed with this? Lieu: Just because I felt like putting you there. Bosco: Who am I with? Lieu: Well, since Sgt. Yokas here seems to think this is so funny, that's who you got. Faith: (stops laughing) Wait Lieu! That's not fair. Bosco: Who's laughing now? You thought it was funny.
Faith throws a whistle at him.
Faith: Let's go whistle boy! Bosco: Whistle boy? Faith: Hurry up, you've got traffic to direct. Bosco: Excuse me, you're in this too.
The Lieutenant laughs as they leave.
Bosco and Faith have their "Police" reflective vests on.
Bosco: This sucks! Faith: Yeah.
Bosco blows his whistle to stop traffic and waves other cars through.
Bosco: We're getting screwed here Faith. Faith: Yeah we are. See if I work a double on New Year's again!
There is a call on the radio.
Central: 55 Charlie Central Sully: 55 Charlie Central: Domestic disturbance 1284 E. 143rd. Sully: 1284 E. 143rd.
Bosco turns to Faith.
Bosco: They get to respond to calls. What do we get? A baton and a whistle! Faith: Bosco, this isn't that bad. Bosco: Yeah it is.
Doc and Carlos pull up.
Doc: Bosco, how's it looking? Faith: You don't want him to answer that. Doc: That bad huh? Bosco: Yeah.
Carlos is laughing.
Bosco: What are you laughing at? Carlos: Nothing, really. Oh okay. It's funny seeing you on traffic duty. Bosco: Yeah, bout as funny as it's gonna be.
Before Bosco could finish his sentence there was a loud explosion.
Faith: What the hell was that? Bosco: I don't know!
They see flames coming from an apartment building.
Bosco: 55 David to Central. We have an explosion at an apartment on 109th. Send fire And EMS immediately. Doc: Hop in guys!
Faith and Bosco hop into the bus. They speed down the street.
The boys are at the house.
Alarm: Squad 55, Ladder 100. Apartment explosion on 109th.
Jimmy: Let's go boys.
There are people running from the building when the bus gets there. Bosco jumps out of the bus and rushes toward the building.
Faith: Bosco! No!
Bosco runs into the building to help get people out.
Faith: (on radio) Bosco. Get out of there, that building's unstable. Bosco, do you hear me, get out of there! Doc: Start a triage situation. Carlos: Got it. Doc: Faith, can you help? Faith: Yeah.
There is another explosion.
Faith: Bosco!
They watch in horror as the building becomes engulfed in flames. Alex and Kim pull onto the scene. They are followed by the squad.
Lieu: What the hell happened? Doc: It just exploded. Lieu: Buildings don't just explode. Faith: Bosco's in there! Lieu: What the hell's he doing? Faith: I don't know! Lieu: Jimmy, Walsh get in there and get him out! Jimmy: Got it Lieu.
They enter the building.
Jimmy: Bosco! Bosco! Walsh: Bosco!
Sully and Davis pull up outside.
Sully: Where's Bosco? Faith: He's inside. Sully: What!?
Faith tries Bosco on his radio again. No answer.
Jimmy: (on radio) Lieu, we can't find him. Lieu: Keep looking!
There are screams from a woman on an upper floor.
Lieu: DK get on that ladder and get up there!
Faith: God Bosco! Get out of there.
Sully, Davis, and Faith continue watching. Additional fire units roll onto the scene. The building starts to collapse. Jimmy: This building's going to go! We gotta get out of here! Lieu: Jimmy, Walsh get out of there. We're going to lose the whole building! Jimmy: Bosco? Bosco!
They still have not found Bosco.
Lieu: Guys, get out of there!
Midnight is drawing near. The crowds are growing anxious to watch the ball drop.
Jimmy: Bosco! Bosco! Where are you? Walsh: Jimmy! Over there!
They run over to find Bosco lying against a wall.
Jimmy: Lieu, get a backboard ready, we're coming out!
Just then the building shifts on its foundation. Jimmy and Walsh fall away from Bosco.
Lieu: Hurry up! You don't have a lot of time left!
Everyone has been moved across the street because the building in about to fall in.
Lieu: Jimmy, Walsh, get out of there, that's an order!
Jimmy grabs Bosco and heads toward the stairs. The building shifts again. This time the stairwell collapses. Bosco, Jimmy, and Walsh all fall with it.
Lieu: Jimmy, where are you?
There is nothing but radio static.
Lieu: DK, Lombardo. Get in there and get them out!
DK and Lombardo run into the building. They shine their lights around. They see the collapsed staircase.
DK: Lieu, they're down in a hole, we can't get to them!
Faith's heart drops. Kim's does too. Alex grabs Kim.
Alex: He's going to be okay!
Moments later there is another flare up. Other units enter the building with hoses and rope to get the three men out of the collapsed stairwell. DK is lowered into the hole. He ties the rope around Bosco and the other firefighters slowly lift him out. DK then gets Walsh out of the hole, followed by Jimmy. Lombardo carries Bosco out. Kim and Alex rush to the door with the stretcher to take Bosco. They immediately put him on oxygen.
Kim: Breath sounds are labored! He's taken in a lot of smoke. Alex: Pulse is weak. Kim: Let's get him out of here.
Sully: Go ahead, we'll take over from here!
Faith hops in the bus with Kim and Alex. They head off for the hospital.
Walsh is carried out by another firefighter. DK carries Jimmy out of the building. He isn't too far out when the building crumbles. DK emerges from the rubble with Jimmy in hand. He lays him on the stretcher Doc and Carlos have waiting. They load him in the back of the bus and head off towards Mercy.
Kim and Alex are bringing Bosco in. Faith is right alongside.

Doctor Fields: Sgt. Yokas, Officer Boscorelli is asking for you. Faith: Thanks.
She walks in.
Bosco: I'm sorry. Faith: I would love to say 'I told you so' but I don't have the heart to. Bosco: I was stupid going in that building. Faith: Yeah, and ignoring my radio calls to come out. Bosco: You're not going to write me up for that are you? Faith: I should, but you helped get people out. Bosco: Thank you. Faith: Just don't tell anyone about it! Bosco: I won't. Faith: Hey, the ball's about to drop.
They turn on the television..
Dick Clark: 5..4...3...2...1... Happy New Year!
(Auld Lang Syne plays)
Faith and Bosco are holding hands. Kim is sitting beside Jimmy's bed he wakes up.
Kim: Happy New Year. Jimmy: It's midnight already? Kim: Yeah.
They sit there in silence.
It's 8 AM. Jimmy, Bosco, and Walsh are all released from the hospital.
Jimmy: Hey Bosco. Bosco: Yeah Jimmy? Jimmy: Next time you get the urge to run into burning building, beat yourself over the Head a couple times with your flashlight to knock the idea out of your head. Bosco: I'll be sure to do that. Faith: If you don't I will! Bosco: Okay, I got the idea. Faith: Good, now let's go home.
Alex is in the kitchen. Ty is still sleeping.
Alex: Hey, lazy. Time to get up shift starts in 2 hours! Ty: Wha? Alex: It's 1 PM! Ty: Why'd you let me sleep so long? Alex: Never heard of an alarm? Ty: Yes, I've heard of an alarm. Alex: Now get up and go eat so you can get ready for work. Ty: Yes mommy.
Faith is fixing something to eat for her and Bosco. Bosco has the day off because of his burns on his arms and chest. Faith still has to work.
Faith: Hey Boz, can you do the laundry today? Bosco: Do I have to? Faith: Yes. Bosco: Then I guess I'll do the laundry today. Faith: Come on, lunch is ready. Bosco: Good, I'm starved.
She puts 2 ham and cheese sandwiches on the table. Bosco grabs a glass of milk and sits down at the table with her. They eat and then she clears the table and gets ready for work.
Bosco: I'll see you when you get home tonight. Faith: Yeah.
She kisses him and then heads out.
Sully is walking into the precinct.
Desk: Sullivan, you got a call, line 3. Sully: Thanks.
Sully goes upstairs to take the call.
Davis walks into the locker room. Sully hasn't even been in there to change. Davis walks out to the desk.
Davis: Where's Sully? Desk: Phone call. Davis: Oh, ok.
Faith walks in and up to her office. She notices Sully on the phone. Davis walks upstairs.
Sully: John Sullivan Caller: Mr. Sullivan, I'm afraid that we have bad news. Sully: What? Caller: You're mother passed away a little while ago. Sully: Mom? Oh my God! (he's in tears) Caller: We have some paperwork that we need you to fill out whenever you are ready. I'm sorry.
Sully hangs up the phone. Faith walks out of the office. Davis walks over to him.
Faith: You okay Sully? Sully: My mom died. Davis: What? Faith: When? Sully: A little while ago. I wasn't there.
He's crying in Davis's arms.
Davis: Come on Sully, I'll take you home.
Faith nods in agreement. Davis walks with Sully downstairs. Davis takes Sully's keys and drives him back to his apartment. They sit for a little while. Sully is emotionally broken.
Davis: Look Sully. I can't make this any easier for you. But promise me, promise me That you won't hit the alcohol. Sully: I won't. Davis: I'll come by and check on you when I get off. If you need anything call. Sully: Thanks Ty.
Davis leaves. He is sad to see his partner in this state. He has lost so much. His wife, and now his mother. Sully has to be breaking down inside. Davis calls his mother to tell her.
Maggie: Hello? Davis: Mom. Maggie: Hey Ty, aren't you working? Davis: Yeah, listen. Sully's mom died. I'm worried about him. Maggie: I'm sorry to hear that. Davis: Can you check on him sometime, just to make sure he's alright? Maggie: Yeah sure honey. Davis: Thanks mom. I gotta go. I love you. Maggie: I love you too. Be careful. Davis: I will mom.
Davis hangs up the phone and heads outside where Faith is waiting to take him back to the precinct.
Alarm; Squad 55, Adam 55-3, Boyd 55-3. Heavy smoke and flames at a diner corner of 95th.
Kim: Alex! Let's go.
They all get into their rides and head off to the diner. The sirens are screaming from the buses and fire truck. They get to the scene to find the whole diner engulfed in flames.
Jimmy: Is everyone out? Waitress: The owner, I haven't seen him. Jimmy: Lieu, we got people trapped in there. Lieu: DK, Lombardo, get in there with Jimmy and get those people out! They enter the diner. There is a wall of flames.
DK: Jimmy! The ceiling!
Jimmy looks up.
Jimmy: Oh shit! We don't have much time.
They find the owner in his office. They head back through the kitchen. The squad is dumping water into the building trying to get the fire out. It flares up. Jimmy is carrying the owner. He shields the guy's head as he, DK, and Lombardo all crash through the window to the outside.
Doc and Carlos rush over to take the owner.
Jimmy: Haven't done that in awhile. DK: Yeah.
They watch as the fire is slowly extinguished.
Faith and Davis are back at the house.
Davis: I can't believe this. Faith: At least she died peacefully. That's how I want to go. Davis: Yeah. Poor Sully though. Faith: We can be there for him though. Davis: Yeah. Faith: I'm gonna go call Boz to tell him. Davis: Okay. I'm going to go out solo. Faith: Be careful! Davis: I will.
Davis leaves. Faith calls Bosco.
Bosco: Hello? Faith: Boz. Bosco: You okay? Faith: Sully's mom died. Bosco: Oh, sorry to hear that. Faith: Can you go check on him? Bosco: Yeah sure. I'll go over now. Faith: Thanks. Bosco: I love you. Faith: Love you too.
Alex is outside the station when Davis walks to his RMP. Alex: You look like you just lost your best friend. Davis: Sully's mom died this afternoon. Alex: Oh, I'm so sorry. Davis: I hope he's okay. I told him that I'd stop over after work. Alex: You want me to go too? Davis: Yeah, that would be great. Alex: Okay. Be careful out there tonight. Davis: I will.
Davis hops in the RMP. He heads off for patrol. Kim walks outside.
Kim: Where's Sully tonight? Alex: His mother died. Kim: Wow. Alex: That's what I thought.
They watch as Davis pulls off.
Sully hears a knock on his door. He answers it.
Bosco: Hey. Sully: Hey Bosco. Bosco: I'm sorry. Sully: Thanks. Come on in. Bosco: Thanks.
They sit on the couch. Sully gets them each a beer.
Bosco: You okay? Sully: (crying) I wasn't there. Bosco: Don't beat yourself up over that. She knew you loved her. No one could have Expected her to go this soon. Sully: You're right. Bosco: You always told her that you loved her before you left. She knew. Sully: Yeah. Bosco: She's in peace now Sully: You're right.
They sit and talk for a while. There comes another knock on the door. Sully answers, this time it is Maggie.
Maggie: Oh, you have company. I'll come back later. Bosco: No ma'am, I was just leaving. I'll talk to you later Sully. Sully: Thanks Bosco. Come on in Maggie.
Bosco leaves. Maggie enters. Maggie: You know, it was hard when I got your call that Big Ty had been killed. Today My son called me to tell me that your mother had died. I felt so bad for you. The way you felt when you had to tell me that Ty had died. It's hard to even Think about words that can take away the pain that surrounds losing a loved One. Ty is worried about you John. He doesn't want you to go back to Drinking. Sully: Wow. Maggie: He cares about you. He looks up to you like he looked up to his dad. Sully: I know. Maggie: He doesn't want to be disappointed. He doesn't want you to self- destruct. Sully: I'm fine Maggie. Maggie: Do you want to talk about it?
They sit and talk.
Bosco is walking towards the familiar lights of his mother's bar. He enters.
Rose: Maurice are you okay? Bosco: Yeah ma. Give me a beer would you? Rose: Why aren't you at work? Bosco: I had the day off. Rose: Oh. Bosco: I've got some news to tell you. Rose: What's that? Bosco: Faith and I are getting married. Rose: What? Bosco: Yeah, we're getting married in June. Rose: I'm glad for you. Bosco: Thanks. Rose: Something else is bothering you. Bosco: Sully's mom died. I got to thinking and I wanted to spend a little time with you. Rose: Thanks. Bosco: So what's new?
They talk about things that are going on in their life. 10 PM rolls around.
Bosco: I've gotta go. Rose: Okay. I love you sweetie. Bosco: Love you too ma! Rose: Say hello to Faith for me. Bosco: I will.
Faith returns home. Bosco is sound asleep on the couch with Adrienne in his arms. Faith picks Adrienne up and takes her back to her crib. She goes back out into the living room. Bosco is still sleeping. Faith: (whispers) Boz.
He let's out a loud snore. Faith chuckles. "And I want to marry that" she thinks to herself. She grabs a blanket and covers Bosco up. She heads back to the bedroom and goes to sleep. Around 1 AM Bosco finally wakes up and heads back to bed. He's tired. He crawls into the bed and watches Faith sleep. He then nods off to sleep.
Ty and Alex get to Sully's apartment. They sit with him in his living room. They let him talk. They really don't have a clue what say. They figure that the best thing to do is just listen.
Sully: When I was little, she used to make me snacks for when I would get home from School. The first thing she said to me was "John, come get your snack before you Go do you homework." I loved it when she would give me warm chocolate chip Cookies and milk. (a tear runs down his face)
Alex is crying as well. She feels so bad for him. Sully continues to tell of stories from his childhood. Alex and Ty just sit and listen.
Faith: New York City is a zoo. Especially on New Year's Eve. I got the wonderful task Of working a double. Times Square is full of people already. It's only 1 PM, but It's packed. This is the one-day of the year that I dread being a police officer.

Jimmy: Next time you get the urge to run into burning building, beat yourself over the Head a couple times with your flashlight to knock the idea out of your head. Bosco: I'll be sure to do that. Faith: If you don't I will! Bosco: Okay, I got the idea. Faith: Good, now let's go home.
Alex is in the kitchen. Ty is still sleeping.
Alex: Hey, lazy. Time to get up shift starts in 2 hours! Ty: Wha? Alex: It's 1 PM! Ty: Why'd you let me sleep so long? Alex: Never heard of an alarm? Ty: Yes, I've heard of an alarm. Alex: Now get up and go eat so you can get ready for work. Ty: Yes mommy.
Faith is fixing something to eat for her and Bosco. Bosco has the day off because of his burns on his arms and chest. Faith still has to work.
Faith: Hey Boz, can you do the laundry today? Bosco: Do I have to? Faith: Yes. Bosco: Then I guess I'll do the laundry today. Faith: Come on, lunch is ready. Bosco: Good, I'm starved.
She puts 2 ham and cheese sandwiches on the table. Bosco grabs a glass of milk and sits down at the table with her. They eat and then she clears the table and gets ready for work.
Bosco: I'll see you when you get home tonight. Faith: Yeah.
She kisses him and then heads out.
Sully is walking into the precinct.
Desk: Sullivan, you got a call, line 3. Sully: Thanks.
Sully goes upstairs to take the call.
Davis walks into the locker room. Sully hasn't even been in there to change. Davis walks out to the desk.
Davis: Where's Sully? Desk: Phone call. Davis: Oh, ok.
Faith walks in and up to her office. She notices Sully on the phone. Davis walks upstairs.
Sully: John Sullivan Caller: Mr. Sullivan, I'm afraid that we have bad news. Sully: What? Caller: You're mother passed away a little while ago. Sully: Mom? Oh my God! (he's in tears) Caller: We have some paperwork that we need you to fill out whenever you are ready. I'm sorry.
Sully hangs up the phone. Faith walks out of the office. Davis walks over to him.
Faith: You okay Sully? Sully: My mom died. Davis: What? Faith: When? Sully: A little while ago. I wasn't there.
He's crying in Davis's arms.
Davis: Come on Sully, I'll take you home.
Faith nods in agreement. Davis walks with Sully downstairs. Davis takes Sully's keys and drives him back to his apartment. They sit for a little while. Sully is emotionally broken.
Davis: Look Sully. I can't make this any easier for you. But promise me, promise me That you won't hit the alcohol. Sully: I won't. Davis: I'll come by and check on you when I get off. If you need anything call. Sully: Thanks Ty.
Davis leaves. He is sad to see his partner in this state. He has lost so much. His wife, and now his mother. Sully has to be breaking down inside. Davis calls his mother to tell her.
Maggie: Hello? Davis: Mom. Maggie: Hey Ty, aren't you working? Davis: Yeah, listen. Sully's mom died. I'm worried about him. Maggie: I'm sorry to hear that. Davis: Can you check on him sometime, just to make sure he's alright? Maggie: Yeah sure honey. Davis: Thanks mom. I gotta go. I love you. Maggie: I love you too. Be careful. Davis: I will mom.
Davis hangs up the phone and heads outside where Faith is waiting to take him back to the precinct.
Alarm; Squad 55, Adam 55-3, Boyd 55-3. Heavy smoke and flames at a diner corner of 95th.
Kim: Alex! Let's go.
They all get into their rides and head off to the diner. The sirens are screaming from the buses and fire truck. They get to the scene to find the whole diner engulfed in flames.
Jimmy: Is everyone out? Waitress: The owner, I haven't seen him. Jimmy: Lieu, we got people trapped in there. Lieu: DK, Lombardo, get in there with Jimmy and get those people out! They enter the diner. There is a wall of flames.
DK: Jimmy! The ceiling!
Jimmy looks up.
Jimmy: Oh shit! We don't have much time.
They find the owner in his office. They head back through the kitchen. The squad is dumping water into the building trying to get the fire out. It flares up. Jimmy is carrying the owner. He shields the guy's head as he, DK, and Lombardo all crash through the window to the outside.
Doc and Carlos rush over to take the owner.
Jimmy: Haven't done that in awhile. DK: Yeah.
They watch as the fire is slowly extinguished.
Faith and Davis are back at the house.
Davis: I can't believe this. Faith: At least she died peacefully. That's how I want to go. Davis: Yeah. Poor Sully though. Faith: We can be there for him though. Davis: Yeah. Faith: I'm gonna go call Boz to tell him. Davis: Okay. I'm going to go out solo. Faith: Be careful! Davis: I will.
Davis leaves. Faith calls Bosco.
Bosco: Hello? Faith: Boz. Bosco: You okay? Faith: Sully's mom died. Bosco: Oh, sorry to hear that. Faith: Can you go check on him? Bosco: Yeah sure. I'll go over now. Faith: Thanks. Bosco: I love you. Faith: Love you too.
Alex is outside the station when Davis walks to his RMP. Alex: You look like you just lost your best friend. Davis: Sully's mom died this afternoon. Alex: Oh, I'm so sorry. Davis: I hope he's okay. I told him that I'd stop over after work. Alex: You want me to go too? Davis: Yeah, that would be great. Alex: Okay. Be careful out there tonight. Davis: I will.
Davis hops in the RMP. He heads off for patrol. Kim walks outside.
Kim: Where's Sully tonight? Alex: His mother died. Kim: Wow. Alex: That's what I thought.
They watch as Davis pulls off.
Sully hears a knock on his door. He answers it.
Bosco: Hey. Sully: Hey Bosco. Bosco: I'm sorry. Sully: Thanks. Come on in. Bosco: Thanks.
They sit on the couch. Sully gets them each a beer.
Bosco: You okay? Sully: (crying) I wasn't there. Bosco: Don't beat yourself up over that. She knew you loved her. No one could have Expected her to go this soon. Sully: You're right. Bosco: You always told her that you loved her before you left. She knew. Sully: Yeah. Bosco: She's in peace now Sully: You're right.
They sit and talk for a while. There comes another knock on the door. Sully answers, this time it is Maggie.
Maggie: Oh, you have company. I'll come back later. Bosco: No ma'am, I was just leaving. I'll talk to you later Sully. Sully: Thanks Bosco. Come on in Maggie.
Bosco leaves. Maggie enters. Maggie: You know, it was hard when I got your call that Big Ty had been killed. Today My son called me to tell me that your mother had died. I felt so bad for you. The way you felt when you had to tell me that Ty had died. It's hard to even Think about words that can take away the pain that surrounds losing a loved One. Ty is worried about you John. He doesn't want you to go back to Drinking. Sully: Wow. Maggie: He cares about you. He looks up to you like he looked up to his dad. Sully: I know. Maggie: He doesn't want to be disappointed. He doesn't want you to self- destruct. Sully: I'm fine Maggie. Maggie: Do you want to talk about it?
They sit and talk.
Bosco is walking towards the familiar lights of his mother's bar. He enters.
Rose: Maurice are you okay? Bosco: Yeah ma. Give me a beer would you? Rose: Why aren't you at work? Bosco: I had the day off. Rose: Oh. Bosco: I've got some news to tell you. Rose: What's that? Bosco: Faith and I are getting married. Rose: What? Bosco: Yeah, we're getting married in June. Rose: I'm glad for you. Bosco: Thanks. Rose: Something else is bothering you. Bosco: Sully's mom died. I got to thinking and I wanted to spend a little time with you. Rose: Thanks. Bosco: So what's new?
They talk about things that are going on in their life. 10 PM rolls around.
Bosco: I've gotta go. Rose: Okay. I love you sweetie. Bosco: Love you too ma! Rose: Say hello to Faith for me. Bosco: I will.
Faith returns home. Bosco is sound asleep on the couch with Adrienne in his arms. Faith picks Adrienne up and takes her back to her crib. She goes back out into the living room. Bosco is still sleeping. Faith: (whispers) Boz.
He let's out a loud snore. Faith chuckles. "And I want to marry that" she thinks to herself. She grabs a blanket and covers Bosco up. She heads back to the bedroom and goes to sleep. Around 1 AM Bosco finally wakes up and heads back to bed. He's tired. He crawls into the bed and watches Faith sleep. He then nods off to sleep.
Ty and Alex get to Sully's apartment. They sit with him in his living room. They let him talk. They really don't have a clue what say. They figure that the best thing to do is just listen.
Sully: When I was little, she used to make me snacks for when I would get home from School. The first thing she said to me was "John, come get your snack before you Go do you homework." I loved it when she would give me warm chocolate chip Cookies and milk. (a tear runs down his face)
Alex is crying as well. She feels so bad for him. Sully continues to tell of stories from his childhood. Alex and Ty just sit and listen.
