Both the FBI
and Homeland Security

are saying the same thing
in different colors.

Chatter has this
as the opening play

in a planned chain of attacks
on our transpo hubs.

They're saying the same thing in different
colors-- what's that mean?

That their spitting contest
doesn't take a break,

come hell or high water.

Couldn't put out
a joint statement saying

the sky is blue.

- Emergency Management?
- The same.

No one thinks this is a one-off.

No one thinks or know one knows?

Thinks, obviously.

Okay. So what do we know?

That the only casualty this time
was the suicide bomber himself.

So, big silver lining.

And that we got
his phone.

He left it in a truck
after he stepped outside

and blew himself up.

Dump the phone.

TARU's working on it.

Well, they've either dumped
the phone or they haven't.

Boss, it's the technology.

- What, ours?
- No, the terrorist's phone.

They make their bombs
on the cheap in the kitchen,

but they spare no expense

for the latest and greatest
in their tech.

Chiefs of FDNY
and Port Authority

and regional Homeland Security
and FBI are 20 minutes out.

Out of where?

Uh, from here,
for a joint press briefing.

I want to push it
till we dump the phone.

Boss, I wouldn't do that.
TARU can't get in.

They can't get in?
It's a new operating system

we don't have
a backdoor key to.

Well, then, kick in
the front door.

Boss, that would erase
all the data on the phone.

Seriously?

So, you have plans
tonight or what?

Why?

A bunch of us
are getting together.

We're going for Trivia Night
at Ingram's Bar.

I figured you could be
my ace in the hole.

- Really?
- Yeah, I'm always bragging

on you to Barry about how
you went to Harvard Law and all.

Oh, is he gonna be there?

Yeah.

You know,

you could always bring someone
yourself.

I would, but I got a hot date.

With my grandfather.

Can't you get a rain check?

We don't do rain checks
in my family.

12 David, you have a 10-68.

In front
of St. Benjamin's Hospital.

Female reports a missing person
at this location.

Yeah. Let's do it.

Erin.

You're looking well.

You, too, Father.

I didn't realize
anyone would be joining us.

Right. I
don't know if you've

ever been formally introduced
to John Romano.

No, but I certainly

know the name.

Charmed.

I can't tell you
how inappropriate this is,

Father.
Mr. Romano's

son is being tried by my office

under the
Organized Crime

Control Act.

John is not his son.

No, he's much slicker.

He's been under investigation
for 20 years, at least?

Without ever being convicted
of a felony.

I'm a businessman, Ms. Reagan.

It's true, Erin.

John's been an important part

of the church community
for years.

He's the main support

of our youth
program.

I can't be seen with this man
outside of work.

What if this could help you
with your work?

Excuse me?

What if I told you
I had information to offer

about crimes
that are about to happen?

I'd say you're trying
to compromise my office

and trying to save your son.

What's so wrong
with trying to help my boy?

Isn't that what you do

every day
at your office,

cut deals so you can catch
the bigger fish?

I'm not fishing,
and I'm not staying.

What if I told you about
a murder that's about to occur?

You really afford to walk away
with that on your conscience?

Hey!
Hey! Hey! Police!

Break it up!
Hey, break it up!

Come on, break it up!

Look, that's enough! Hey!

That's enough, that's enough.

- Hey.
- That's enough, that's enough.

- Let's go, break it up, break it up.
- Hey!

- Let it go, now.
- Break it up, break it up.

Let's go. Hey, break it up!

I told you to stay the hell
away from my daughter!

Get your hands off me!

Huh?!

- Hey. Hey.
- You had something to do with this!

Break it up!
It's over! Break it up,

break it up, break it up.

Enough.

Break it up.

It's over.

Hey. You want to tell me
what's going on?

Somebody took my baby.

What?

Once they discharged me,
I went outside to catch a cab.

And then this nurse came out
and said that...

said that they needed
to see the baby again.

And you just handed her to her?

Now the hospital's saying that
they don't know where she is

and they don't know anything

about the nurse
who came to get me.

You just need to calm down,
and we're gonna do our best

to find your baby.

What if she's gone for good?

Sofia!

Sofia!

Yo, don't listen
to your father!

I didn't do this!

You got to let
me talk to her.

Okay. Let's get you inside.
12 David.

Let's get you warmed up, okay?
Be advised, we have a missing baby.

Let's go inside, okay?
Request a patrol supervisor.

@elder_man

Thanks for your time.

You're the guys who were talking
to Sofia before, right?

Yeah, but we were just
the first to arrive.

The detectives
are in charge now.

This is so messed up.

Her family thinks

I had something to do
with taking the baby.

Mm-hmm.

When did you break up
with the baby's mother?

Oh, about a month ago.

You know,
her father doesn't like me

'cause of where I'm from.

I thought having the baby
would put us past all that.

Did you even get to see
your daughter?

Yeah.

Held her for, like, two seconds.

Before Sofia's father threatened
to beat me up.

You guys think I staged this?

Sir, we don't think anything.

We're just trying to make sure
the baby's safe.

Can you give her a message
for me?

We don't get in the middle
of stuff like that.

Just...

tell her I love her.

All right?

And you don't know what
something's gonna mean to you

until you've lost it.

I didn't realize you thought
terrorism was within my purview.

Normally,
it wouldn't be.

But, Kelly, I need
to unlock this phone.

Well, then you need to make
your case with Televast.

They own the technology.

I know who they are.

And we're getting nowhere.

But your office
has tens of millions

in city contracts with them.

And what do you think that buys?

Well, I hope, leverage.

About
as much leverage

as a single town
boycotting McDonald's has

on McDonald's.
Except when lives are at stake.

Televast has had
over 60 court orders

brought
by law enforcement agencies

around the...
72.

72. Okay, fine.

And all of those warrants
ordering them to give up

proprietary
technology,

none of them have been upheld.

But none issued during
a credible, impending threat.

I still don't have
any leverage here.

Kelly, come on,
you've got a better Rolodex

than I do with
these kind of people.

Oh, Frank, nobody uses
a Rolodex anymore.

Sorry, boss...

What is it?

Backpack bomber
at the PATH station downtown.

Two officers,
three civilians wounded--

two critical.

Any likely?

No word yet.

I'm so sorry.

We need
some cooperation.

I just don't think
they're going to play ball.

This isn't ball,
this is people's lives.

Please, I'm begging you, Kelly.

You're telling me that
you went behind my back

for a sit-down
with John Romano?

It wasn't a sit-down, I got
sandbagged by a priest.

I didn't even know anyone else
was gonna be there.

Oh, my goodness,
I arrested his kid,

who, incidentally, is a
scumbag, just like his father.

Look, John Romano is telling us
he has information

about a murder
that's about to go down.

And you believed him?

Oh, great.
You're in on this, too?

No, this time I'm on your side.

I know all about
Romano and his son.

Apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.

I rest my case.

You're being hustled.
I agree.

Let me remind you both

we have someone coming forward
with information about a crime.

And if the crime does happen,

it would be
a public-service murder.

Yeah.

- Skels killing skels.
- Exactly.

Which we have a sworn obligation
to try to prevent.

Now, I don't like
making deals

with the John Romanos
of the world either,

but we all know that informants
are not always choirboys.

We need to hear this out.
There is no choice about it.

Impossible.

Hey. Eddie, stand down.

- They want us back at the precinct.
- Why?

Both the families showed up
pointing fingers.

They're trying to get 'em calm
so they can interview 'em.

They really think a family
member orchestrated all this?

Is that what you think?

Two parents are estranged.

Somebody might be
looking for leverage.

No way Sofia and Jorge
are involved.

We've seen the way
they look at each other.

They're in love.

You sound a little bit
romantic there, Eddie.

You sure you're not
seeing what you want to see?

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm just saying,
sometimes when people

have been together, and
they have a bad breakup,

that they can do
terrible things.

Sorry, I'm not buying it.

They don't seem like
the vengeful types.

Hey, hold on.

What is it?

It's the baby's ID tag.
It looks like it's been cut off.

If this was a planned
family abduction,

why would you just drop it
so close to the hospital?

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Why the hell
should we believe

a single thing that
you're telling us right now?

I'm a law-abiding citizen,
here of my own volition,

offering information relevant
to a criminal matter.

You're also asking for an
outrageous deal for your son.

Uh-huh.
Probation, when we have him dead to rights

on racketeering
and enterprise corruption.

Same thing as a "get out
of jail free" card.

I'm betting you all
have children.

Wouldn't you do anything
to help them out?

Come on.

That's what I thought.
It's all about family.

No, it's not about family, okay?

And if you're such
a law-abiding citizen,

how the hell
do you know know about

these crimes that
are about to happen?

I'm in waste management.
You he things.

Oh, you just
happened to overhear

someone talking about murder?

From what I could glean,
a taxpayer wasn't going along

with a take-over
of his family's business.

So now he's gonna get a lesson.

And you don't have a name?

Just a time and a place?

That's all I got.

Pardon my language, Erin,

but I think
this guy's jerking our chain.

Ya think?

Look, I am telling you,

there is gonna be a hit
on that corner tonight.

An older muscle car is

gonna pull up
to a family

station wagon,
like it's a payoff.

The victim's wife and children

are gonna be in the car with him.
- Hold on.

You didn't say anything about
a whole family being involved.

Yeah, you didn't tell us that.

Didn't I?

No, you didn't.

Well, what I heard is,

they're gonna kill 'em all.

As a father...
I can't accept that.

This sounds like
a bunch of crap.

Keep telling yourself that.

But you ignore me, and something
happens to those poor people,

that's gonna be on all of you.

Come on, Eddie. Let's go.
It's not our case anymore,

and we were supposed to be back
at the house 20 minutes ago.

Would you just let me finish
looking through this?

If she dropped the
bracelet down the street,

maybe there's something here.

You know, you're going
to smell like a Staten Island

garbage dump when you go
to your date tonight.

- Aha.
- What? What do you got?

Nurse's scrubs.
What she was wearing

when she convinced Sofia
to give her the baby.

All right, we got to call this
in to the detectives.

Officers, can I help you?

Yes. Uh, sir,
we're looking for a woman

running around with a newborn
that might not be hers.

Have you seen
anyone like that?

Allah.

You have seen her?

She was in my store earlier

trying to buy infant formula
and food for herself,

but she only had enough
for the formula.

- Did the baby seem okay?
- Yes, but it wouldn't stop crying.

The-the lady
didn't know what to do.

- You know which way she went?
-No.

I'm sorry.
I had other customers.

She just took the formula
and left.

All right, you got security
cameras that work in here?

Let's go take a look. Come on.

Commissioner, I am
the chief operating officer.

This is outside my scope.

Well, you're the only one in
the room who works for Televast,

so you're our man right now.

I am sorry. I am not your man.

Can you unlock a phone
that works on your system?

Can or may?

Martin.

Don't make light of this,
please.

This is an important
distinction.

And, yes, we can create software
to override firewalls

and encryptions, but we
can't give it out, for a lot

of very good, very...
legal reasons.

Name one.

Okay, this one.

We'd be handing law enforcement
a very powerful tool

that would allow you to
invade anyone's privacy

any time for any
reason you see fit.

Not looking to do that.

But you'd have the capability.

You support FAA safety measures?

Automobile crash standards?
What does that have to...?

Yes or no?

Yes.

Because they protect
the safety and well-being

of the general public--
your customers--

from potential harm.

I'm not here for a lecture,
all due respect.

Uh, Frank, hyperbole is not
going to resolve this.

Terrorists have weaponized
your product, Mr. Post,

as sure as if it were an
airliner or a rented box truck,

and you're gonna sit here
and tell me

that people's privacy deserves
your protection,

but their lives do not?

We are from different worlds,
Commissioner.

Well, right now...

we are in the same one--
our city.

You need to step up.

What's this?

Victims of the blast at
the PATH station this morning.

Commissioner, I, um...

I'm so sorry
for their tragedy,

but this is not how it works.

You can't expect me
to just fold up and comply.

This one lost a leg.

I bet if you asked her,
she'd be willing

to give up some privacy
to get it back.

I'm sorry.

This is ridiculous.
You know that, right?

Probably.

I don't even know
which direction

we're supposed to
be looking in.

I mean, no names,
no license plate numbers.

- A muscle car and a station wagon.
- Mm-hmm.

John Romano must be
laughing his ass off,

thinking about us
sitting here all night,

waiting to watch
a so-called hit go down.

You know, you are welcome
to leave if you want. Go home,

put on your nice
jammies, dunk a glass

of warm milk,
but I'm staying.

Why? You that afraid
of your sister?

I'm not afraid of my sister, okay?

Just can't stand when
she says, "I told you so."

Ah, she's pretty decent
about that. Usually.

Not rubbing your nose
in the dirt.

Yeah, but when she does it,

you feel it.

Erin's all right. She just
doesn't look at it like a cop.

She sees both sides.

Hold on.

That's a family.

They fit the
description?

Yes, they fit
the description.

And that's a Buick
Grand National.

That counts.

Let's go.

Police!

Turn off the engine,
throw the keys out the window!

And put your hands
out the window

where I can see 'em!

Officer, what did I do?

Shut up!

You ran a red light,
tough guy.

- Watch that.
- You're gonna shoot me for that?

Let me see your hands.
Get 'em out the window now!

Get your ass on the ground.

Get on the ground.

Shut up.

Look what I found.

Hey.

I've been thinking
about what Jorge said.

About how you don't know what

something means to you
until you've lost it.

Yeah?

What if this was a woman

who took the baby
because she lost one of her own?

Kind of a stretch,
don't you think?

You got a better idea?

The detectives
have already warned us

about treading on their turf,
and you and I are both

almost capped out
on our overtime.

Well, when has that
ever stopped us?

And I thought you had plans.

Don't you have to do
Trivia Night with Barry?

This is more important.

What are you guys thinking?

I hate to say it, but
Romano's tip was on the money.

Or he made it look that way.

Look, he gave us
a time and place.

And he was right about
the family being targeted

because
of the father's business.

And the hit man had

a fully-loaded MP7
ready to rock and roll.

Do we know
who took out the contract?

He was hired through
an intermediary in the DR.

Conveniently.

It was a one-night stand.

They flew the shooter in
this afternoon,

and they were gonna
fly him out tomorrow.

And he really doesn't know
who set this up?

Look, I'm telling you

both who set it up.

It was Romano himself.

Look, I don't trust the guy

either, but we got no proof
of that. All we do know is that

these people would've been dead
if we weren't there tonight.

Well, that much is true.

His son is looking at 25 years.

Romano wants us to plead it down
to time served and probation.

Screw him and the kid, okay?

This is a one-hit wonder,
and you're being played!

What do you think?

Look, the guy demonstrated
he's credible.

He fed us good information,
and he's right

that this is what we do here.

We make deals
with the devil every day.

I don't know what their
procedures are across town,

but we don't lose
babies at this hospital.

Well, look, this is,
like, the third facility

we've been to tonight.
We're not here to point fingers.

We just want to know
if you've had contact

with anyone
who could have done this.

Yeah.

Like someone who might have
recently lost a baby of her own?

So that's a crime now?

Do you recognize her, ma'am?

Oh. It's Alice,
our little frequent flier.

Alice? Alice who?
Where do you know her from?

She's been here a few times.

What did you mean when you
called her a "frequent flier"?

Sorry. You guys have your way
of coping, and we have ours.

She, um,

had a stillborn here
a couple of years ago.

Been back at least twice
since then.

Twice?

Claiming she was pregnant again,
and tests showed she wasn't.

Poor girl.

She was a little wacky,

but losing the baby
really unhinged her.

Do you know where she lives now?

No. Last I heard,
she was homeless.

Seriously, Eddie, it's the
end of an extended tour.

Let's give it a rest.

You said it yourself.
There's only so many places

Alice can hide
with a newborn and no money.

Excuse me, sir?

Are you the shelter manager?

Yes, I am.
What can I do for you?

Have you seen this woman?

Yeah, she came in last night
with a baby.

Is she in any trouble?

She here now?
She ought to be.

She hasn't checked out.

Yeah, second floor, 2B,

end of the hall.

Take it easy.

Did you see the woman
staying in this room?

Did you see...?
No.

Hit it.

Okay?

Alice!

Hey!

Central, 12 David.
Suspect fleeing

the rear of this location
with the baby.

Come on.

I'm sorry, Ms. Peterson.

I didn't want to turn
you away downstairs.

Why would you do that?

I don't have you down
for an appointment.

That's because I don't have one.

And I'm sorry, but
he's unfortunately...

He's booked, I know,
but this is important.

I'm sure it is, but he's...

Look, I'm trying
to help your boss,

but calling in a raid
on Televast's offices

does nothing to help the cause.

Our officers had a warrant
as part of a preexisting

drug trafficking
investigation.

The company may have relevant
e-mails on their servers.

Can you fit me in?

I could, but I won't.

You won't?

No, because he's not here.

Where is he?

At one of the two hospitals
where the victims

from this morning's attack
are being treated.

Oh.

Okay.

Kelly Peterson is
here to see you, sir.

I can see that.

Please.

I had to do something.

You mean visiting the victims
in the hospital?

What? No.

About the raid on their offices.

That's what you're here
to flog me about, isn't it?

Yes.

Yeah, well, don't bother.

I know it was like
throwing pebbles,

but sometimes,
if pebbles is all you got,

that's what you throw.

This isn't pebbles.

This is intimidation,
plain and simple.

A judge signed off on it,
plain and simple.

Yeah. Judge Schlossberg,
great friend of this office.

And not a fair-weather one,
either.

I'm sorry.

That was a cheap shot.

I did what you
asked me to do.

But do you get it, Kelly?

Do you get
what this is really about?

Yes. The legal protection
of privacy.

Oh.
What?

Seriously?

Where someone's
online porn habits

or gambling losses
or extramarital activities

take precedence
over threats to human lives?

You're oversimplifying.

Well, maybe someone should.

Martin Post cares more
about his machines

and his software
than his fellow man.

There it is. Sorry.

Sad day all around.

There's no talking to you

when you're like this.

Like what? Right?

Like...

"Back in my day,
dot, dot, dot..."

Did you visit the victims?

Yeah.

Good for you.

They got hurt on my watch.

Well, not everybody
would do that.

Good for you.

I mean it.

And I'll allow

that you're... half right

about a very complicated
subject.

And I'll go take another run
at Martin Post.

See? What'd I tell you?

I'm a man of my word.

Yes, you are.

Once a snake, always a snake.

You say something, Detective?

You're not gonna pull the wool
over my eyes.

I see you for exactly
who you are, Romano.

I'm not getting down

in the mud, Ms. Reagan.

This suit's too expensive.

Stole it right off the rack,
did you?

Enough already.

So, I upheld

my end of the bargain.

Are you gonna uphold yours?

I'm not going along with this.

Danny, please.

Ms. Reagan,

you have a reputation
as a woman of honor.

I hope not a naive one.

Well, let me sweeten the pot.

I'm willing to make
my cooperation ongoing.

At what cost?

Why be so suspicious?

One hand washes the other.

This could be the beginning
of a beautiful friendship.

Famous last words.

Detective, you be you.

Ms. Reagan,
are you gonna serve justice,

or are you gonna kowtow
to your brother

and his small-mindedness?

Okay, thank you.

Another dead end?

Sofia?
Hey.

Look, I-I'm sorry
to bother you guys,

but I'm just freaking out,

and none of the detectives
are telling me anything.

Sofia, we're pushing
on every front.

They told me that you found out
about the woman

that I found
from the photo array?

Please, have a seat.

Please.

We have some leads.

Okay. Well, where is she?

Does she still have my baby?

They spent the night at a...
at a shelter,

and as far as we know,

the baby seems all right.

Are they not there anymore?

We have a lot of people
trying to track her down,

but she doesn't
have a cell phone

or any credit cards.

What about when...

when it gets to be night
and the temperature drops?

Sofia, you-you can't be
thinking like that.

It-it won't do any good.

But you're not making me...

a-any promises
that we'll get her back?

We can't.

A few days ago,
I had never even seen her.

And now she's...

the most important thing
in my life.

And I may have lost her.

So, the old man
got me sprung, huh?

I wouldn't exactly
call it "sprung."

You're out of Rikers
on a takeout order

while the DA's office
waits to hear

what you and your old man
have to say.

Trust me, it wasn't my idea.

Hmm, sounds like
someone got schooled.

It is what it is.

Apparently your old man
has some valuable information,

and you're
the lucky beneficiary.

And that makes you
the loser, right?

- Whatever.
- How do you spell, "Suck it, Reagan"?

I'm not your tutor, kid.

I thought we were going

straight from Rikers
to the DA's office.

Oh, we were, but they're busy
at the DA's office,

so now you get to cool
your heels here.

Come on.

Enjoy the conversation.

Sure you two have
plenty to talk about.

How you doing, kid?

You really got to rain
on my parade every time?

Eddie, I just don't want
to get our hopes up.

Did you hear that?

Hey. Hey!

12 David, we're in pursuit
of the suspect.

Shh, shh-shh-shh.

Alice!

Alice!

Alice, come back!

No one's gonna hurt you, Alice.
Come back!

Alice!

Alice!
Hey!

Alice!

Whoa, no, no, no.

Back off! I'll drop her

if you try to take her from me.

You don't want to be
doing that, Alice.

You don't know what I've been
through to have this baby.

Just keep her talking.
I'm gonna be the net.

Alice, you're right.

No one else can understand the
pain that you've been through.

You're damn right.

Think about the baby's mother.

Think about the pain
that she's in right now.

You really want
to spread that?

What are you talking about?

I'm her mother.

I know how much
you want that to be true,

but...

you've got to give her back.

No!

You've had that baby
a while now, right?

And you've been
taking care of her.

But you know you can't
keep doing it.

Alice, you've got to start
taking care of yourself.

If that baby means
anything to you,

you will return her,
we'll take her,

we'll put her back
where she belongs.

That's what any mother
would do for a child.

I just wanted someone to love.

Everybody does.

Come on.

Okay, okay...

Shh. You're all right.

Oh, my God.

Jamie.

- Is she okay?
-Yeah.

We're okay.

Oh...

There you go. Measured, weighed
and all yours, for life, huh?

Yeah, she's beautiful,
isn't she?

She is.
Yeah.

And healthy.

Take her home.

But this time, wait inside
the building till the cab comes.

Yeah, we're not
taking any chances.

No. This time,
Daddy's taking her home.

You two back together now?

Yeah, we're gonna take our shot.

Right, baby?
Yeah.

And your folks okay with that?

If they're not,

someone's gonna
have to fight me.

I have a little girl
in my life now.

Thank you, both of you.

Best of luck, you guys.

Nice work there,
Officer Janko.

May I?

You're following me now?

No. I was told you were here.

Mm. Kelly sent you
in her stead? Well...

That is, uh, going
to prove less than productive,

I can promise you.

She was coming here
to try to smooth things over

between your firm
and my department.

I offered to do it myself.

How?

I apologize for the raid.

It was perfectly legal,
but also heavy-handed.

Well, we'll see about legal.

We both have businesses to run.

I'm sure you have
stepped on some lines

when the chips were down.

And my chips are down.

Well, I don't send in guys
with guns and warrants.

We use what we have.

So, again,

personally, and privately,
my apologies.

Okay.

And you don't send in
guys with guns, no,

but you do hire criminals.

You hire hackers

who used to be black hats
and call them white hats,

now that they work for you.

I-I thought I made
our position clear.

We can't help you.

"Can't" is not
the same as "won't."

Okay, that is a distinction that
has no meaning in this case.

If we can't protect privacy, our
company doesn't exist anymore.

Frankly, that is nothing
compared to the consequences

if we can't protect
our citizens.

Well, we see consequences
that go beyond this case.

And we see lives at stake,
in this case.

And you didn't flee my office
because you were fed up.

You fled

because the pictures
of the victims moved you.

Say I give you that backdoor.

What's to stop you from using it
to spy on anyone?

I'm giving you my word
that won't happen.

That's not good enough.

'Cause if the public
finds out that we yielded

to the police on this, I...
it's game over for us.

The public isn't here.

Or your boss, or your board.

It's just us.

Forward me a number.

That assumes what you say about
us using black hats is true.

No, it doesn't,
just that you know one.

Lend him to me.

Do the right thing,
and hopefully,

you'll never hear from me again.

It's a steam-driven model.

I'm used to it.

Thank you, Mr. Post.

Good luck, Commissioner.

So, all's well that ends well.

Right, Detective?

- You got me there.
- I think these guys

are secretly relieved
we're not going to trial.

They knew they had absolutely
no case against me.

I wouldn't be so sure
about that.

Oh, well, then, bring it,
Lady Dynamite.

Hit me with your best shot.

All right, settle down, Johnny.

So, Ms. Reagan, what do you say
we sign this deal

so my son doesn't have to spend
another four months in Rikers?

We're just waiting
for my investigator

to bring the right papers.

Oh, here he comes now.

What's up, kid?

What's this guy doing here?

What, you know him?

Yeah, he was in the
holding cell with me.

He said he worked with you.

Well, technically,
they are working together now.

You didn't talk to him, did you?

No. What kind of idiot
you think I am?

Feel free to answer.
We're all waiting.

Johnny, what did you tell him?

Nothing.

Actually, he told me a lot.

Boy's very proud of you.

In fact, he couldn't
stop running his mouth.

Get up, stupid.

I'm calling our lawyer.

Too late for that.

Wha...?
We got your son

on tape, bragging about
the phony hit you set up

on that family,
among other things.

Dad, it's not true.

Just shut up, son.
You've said enough already.

I guess the apple rolled
a little far from the tree

when it comes to talking, huh?

Well, they'll both have
plenty of time to talk now,

since they're both
going to prison.

Barry, uh...

Hey, I'm really sorry,

uh, tonight's not
gonna work for me.

They got us on doubles,
i-it's all hands on deck.

Look, it's my job,

and I told you it would
be this way, sometimes.

Talk to you soon.

Hey, what are you
still doing here?

I work here.

Yeah, I meant, uh, I thought
you had a thing with Barry.

He canceled.

What, an hour before?

Something came up.

Ah, well, sorry to hear.

You got plans?

Uh, yeah, to not
be second fiddle.

Hey.

You're not.

Seriously, I think it's...

...it's not good for me
or you and Barry.

All right, I lied.

Barry didn't cancel, I did.

Why?

'Cause this week's been
kind of emotional.

He wouldn't get it, you would.

We went through it together.

Geez.

If we do go, we got to talk
about it the whole time?

No.

Okay.

What do you feel like?

Whatever you feel like.

As long as it's Thai
or Vietnamese.

Dinner.

Put that away, please.

Yeah, I'm almost done.

You, too, Nicky,
put that away.

Just a sec.

It can wait.

No, it actually can't wait.

Routing planes at JFK?

- I
- thought we had

this ironclad agreement
that you could not

bring those things
to family dinner.

I'm almost done.

Nicky, now.

You, too. Over and out.

She's finally responding to me.

Put it away.

And who's responding
to you? Who's "she"?

Jenna Garrity.

Why is she finally
responding to you?

Is she sending a
restraining order?

Sean...

Zip it.

I just saw Grandpa
checking his phone.

Well,

slight difference:
he is the police commissioner

of New York City,
responsible for the safety

of ten million people.

And even still, he barely uses
his phone at the table.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- I think we should

all go back to writing letters
and postcards.

I mean, call me
a Luddite,

but I used to think we were

much more
civilized, back then.

I agree, but I don't know
what a Luddite is.

I think
it's a little late

to put that genie
back in the bottle.

Yeah, well, they're not
all bad, you know.

Well, any great invention
can get hijacked,

or have its positives twisted.

- A
- little extreme,

- Dad, no?
- No.

A phone is a phone is a phone.

Unless it is an addiction.

Or a sad

substitute for actual
human contact,

or worse.

Well, you might be reaching
for the fences on that one, Dad.

Okay, can anyone tell me
a great story in your life

that started with
"so-and-so was texting me

and so-and-so texted me back"?

He's got a good point, there.
Mm. Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Which is why

we ban them

at this table, at least.

I agree.

Mm-hmm. Guys.
Me, too.

Is that a real question?

- No. - No.
- No.

Well, the noes have it.

Clearly.

Hmm. Grace?

Good call, Pop.

Bless us, O Lord...

and these Thy gifts,

which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
