was the last thing i wanted to have happen. moriarty can t know it yet, but he would soon face his greatest fear. but for now, they inch out into the raging waters, hoping to get the man a life ring. onshore, a rescue worker finds a suicide note from the man now fighting fiercely for his life. but carella and moriarty know nothing about the note, and they re able to make contact with the victim. we wanted to reassure him, tell him that we re coming to get you, we re here for you. he was able to yell loud enough that i can t stand here much longer. i m cold. and he said he s getting weaker. carella and moriarty can t stand there much longer either. we could feel our feet being pulled from under us, and we looked at each other and i said, this is going to have to be a no-go. so plan b kicked in at that time. and fortunately plan b arrives from the air. captain kevin caffery hovers above, trying to get a rescue basket close enough for the man to grasp.
