Make sure you want to do this.
Look at you-- so sure of yourself.
You really think it's that good?
Hey, this is my place.
It's better than "that good."
All right.
We'll see.
Well?
It's all right. Not bad.
: Not bad?
That's the best slice in the city.
Okay, I give it high marks for the right amount of cheese.
The crust is perfect.
But the sauce is just too sweet.
Sweet is what makes it so great.
There's crushed carrots in that sauce.
Carrots in tomato sauce? Yes.
That's blasphemous.
You clearly haven't been to Metrano's.
Is that that new place that opened up in Park Slope?
Mmm, it's good. Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
That's not a routine call. Somebody's down.
Hey, Doc.
Not enough business in the E.R., now you're making house calls?
What have you got here?
I'm guessing gunshot.
Tape off this whole block from end to end.
The whole thing's a crime scene. All right. Got it.
Are you hurt, son?
Can you tell me what happened?
Can you tell me your friend's name?
He's my brother.
He has massive internal bleeding.
We have to get him out of here or he's going to die.
Let's go, let's get him out.
Come on, let's go!
Don't try to talk, honey. It's going to be all right.
: Be all right.
Where's Sam?
He's got to give it to...
He's got to give it to Mom.
He's got to give it to Mom.
Where's Sam? Where's my brother?
Sam?
Sam?
We're going to need to intubate him.
We need four units of O-neg. Call the O.R.
Make sure the trauma team is in place
and ready to go stat.
Come on.
I going to need a 5-O E.T. tube.
Mac.
I'll call you back.
How's he doing?
Not good.
Were you able to get anything out of the little brother?
Sam's pretty shaken up.
All he could tell me was they were walking home from school,
cut through the alley on 91st
and met up with a bad guy who shot Nicky.
Any idea what it was about? No.
Flack took him over to the precinct
to get some more details, have him look at some photos.
I checked with their school.
Both Nicky and Sam are good kids.
Straight "A" students.
I have some people out looking for the mom.
Neighbors say she's working three jobs.
Is the dad in the picture? No.
He passed away a few months ago.
He had cancer.
That's a tough one, buddy.
I'm soy you had to lose your dad.
You dry those puppies off real good.
Let's get that shirt off you.
Let me give you a hand.
Up.
Look, Sam,
it's real important for me to know
more about why that man shot your brother.
He wanted his watch.
But you can't tell my mom about it, though.
Nicky wasn't supposed
to take it out of the house.
Your secret is safe with me.
What about the watch?
It was made of real gold.
It's called a Rolex.
Why did Nicky have it?
My dad gave it to him before he died.
: I told him not to bring it to school,
'cause I was afraid he might lose it.
Didn't even fit him too well, anyway.
Can we call and see if Nicky's awake yet?
Look, Sam, I'm not going to lie to you.
It's going to be a while before your brother wakes up.
So in the meantime, I'm going to need you to help me
catch the man who did this to him.
Think you can do that?
Make a real cop out of you.
Whatever happened, it didn't start here.
You find our smoking gun, Doc?
It's definitely been discharged.
Won't know exactly when until I get it back to the lab.
Where did you find it?
Trash can.
Over there, right on top.
Meaning whoever dumped it was in a hurry.
Or they were just plain stupid.
Looks like Nicky was shot around here.
Let's go.
I got you.
Come on.
Then stumbled down the alley that way
into the street where Mac found him.
Hey, guys, I think I found another blood trail.
So we have two different blood trails
going in opposite directions.
Maybe our shooter was hit, too.
Well, directionality says he went that way.
If it's from our assailant,
make sense the bad guy would run
in the opposite direction.
Scratch that.
This isn't blood.
With any luck, Nicky struggled with his attacker,
and there's some trace left behind.
I'd imagine anyone evil enough to shoot a young boy
is in your DNA database.
Hmm.
How bad is the internal damage?
Bullet perforated the intestine, lacerated a kidney.
The resulting cavitation
caused severe trauma to the liver.
He suffered major blood loss.
We got him here within the golden hour.
If we hadn't, he'd be dead.
You keep fighting, Nicky.
You know, all my time in Afghanistan,
and I will never get used to a child being in
one of those beds.
It's the worst part of our job.
The day we get used to it is the day we should walk out the door.
Dr. Hunter, your charts.
Was the round recovered during surgery?
The wound was a through and through, Mac.
The bullet missed the bone.
No fragments left behind.
We haven't recovered any ballistics
from the scene or his clothing.
The smaller hole in the Vic's back
is consistent with an entrance wound.
Who shoots a kid in the back?
I got to get this back to the lab.
I'll be in touch.
Oh, my God, Nicky.
Nicky.
Mrs. Harris?
Mrs. Harris, I'm Dr. Aubrey Hunter.
I operated on your son.
The police, they came to my work.
They said he as shot.
I didn't even know if he'd be...
He's stable, but he has a tough fight ahead of him.
He's young and resilient.
And he's in excellent hands.
We used to pick them up every day.
They never had to walk home from school
when my husband was alive.
Mrs. Harris, I'm Detective Taylor.
Before Nicky went into surgery,
he mumbled he wanted his brother to give you something.
Do you have any idea what that might be?
No.
Not at all.
I mean it, buddy.
You don't smile, I'm going to take that photo
and I'm going to e-mail it to every girl in your school.
There it is.
There you go.
You ready to get back to work?
What if still I don't recognize anyone?
It's like I told you.
Sometimes looking at photos will help you remember.
If you don't, you don't.
No big deal.
Just take your time and do your best.
Go ahead, click that mouse.
Recognize any of those ugly mugs?
