Third Watch
Sex, Lies and Videotape
Episode 3.8 - Jan. 7, 2002
Lee Tergesen plays Jared McKinley, the father of a family that
apparently has been killed in a robbery/abduction.
"Third Watch" is an NBC TV series that tells the
stories of a squad of New York police, firefighters and paramedics
who work the "third watch" -- 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
In this episode, emergency workers come to the aid of Jared
McKinley and his family. McKinley is wounded and flailing along the
riverbank, apparently trying to save his family. He tells the
paramedics that he and his family were abducted, robbed, driven to
the river and shot. However, McKinley becomes the prime suspect when
police determine that one of the cars parked along the river belongs
to him, blowing his story about being abducted in another part of
town.
While being treated at the hospital, McKinley overhears a
dispatch about holding him for questioning. He flees the emergency
room and makes a getaway by stealing a car parked in the ambulance
bay. He leads police on a high-speed chase. When McKinley collides
with another car, he runs from the scene into an apartment
building.
The officers giving pursuit at this point are Faith Yokas (played
by Molly Price) and Maurice "Bosco" Boscorelli (Jason Wiles).
Faith is barely able to keep up (because she has been undergoing
treatments for cancer) and collapses on the stairs. Bosco continues
in pursuit of McKinley.
When Bosco finds McKinley, the two men struggle; McKinley gets
Bosco's gun and shoots him in the chest (he's wearing a flak jacket
and suffers a broken rib, we learn later). Faith finally reaches the
scene and tells McKinley that she needs to check on Bosco. But
McKinley raises the gun to shoot her, and police on an adjacent roof
shoot and kill McKinley.
