The show was called Third Watch, a drama type show set in New York City that ran from 1999 to 2005. It follows the exploits of a group of police officers, firefighters and paramedics at the 55th Precinct whose shifts fell between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m, the "third watch."

Under the media glare of a political debate between candidates for the Senate, the paramedics, firefighters and police are assigned to camp out at the hotel of the debate as a precautionary action, which prompts debates and squabbles.

2 Paramedics: Doc and Carlos, are arguing over the nature of God among their co-workers. Carlos was ranting about what kind of God would allow children to suffer and die, and how people can believe in such a God.

* Doc is the paramedic supervisor at the firehouse and is in charge of all the paramedics.
* Carlos is a rookie paramedic and a med student, who was orphaned as a youngster and raised by nuns.
* Bobby and Kim are veteran paramedics

Carlos: This one nun, she was all right, she used to say "Carlos, you think you’re an orphan, you’re not. You’ve got a father. God’s your father and he’s looking after you." And then, you know, I’d say "well, he’s not doing a very good job."

Doc: Believe it or don’t believe it. It’s up to you. But you ought to ask yourself, when you die and you meet God---
Carlos: What will I say to him? I’ll say "how dare you."

Carlos: If there was an election, for God, I would not vote for the one we got now. No, not until he rode with us on the bus, (the ambulance) just one day.
Kim: Don’t sit too close Bobby. Ground might open up.
Bobby: Yeah, or lightning.
Kim: At least then we’d know there’s something out there.
Carlos: Doc, we ride together. How can you believe in God after seeing what we see?
Doc: I think you’ve got it all wrong. I mean, the question is, "how can you believe in man?"
