- Customers bothering you?

And what's with the music?
Christmas is over.

I'm surprised you're not
hiding out in the back room

with the rest of them.

I don't smoke.
Makes my hair smell.

Got anything
going back to China?

- Going back to what?
- The manufacturer.

You've never played
the China game?

What's that?

First one to find something

not made in China wins.

Okay.

"Made in China."

"China."

Uh-huh, "Made in Taiwan."

- Same thing.
- No, it's not. Is it?

Anything made here anymore?

Ooh, you're sweet,

[explosion]

[indistinct shouting]

[woman on TV]
'With one fatality
and a half dozen injured'

in the post-Christmas bombing

at a local Big Box
Electronics store

authorities are still searching

for anyone
who may have information

'that could help find
the responsible party.'

[melancholic music]

[instrumental music]

[camera shutter clicks]

[John]
'The explosion occurred
at 7:30 this morning.'

A pipe bomb planted in one
of the open gym lockers.

Half a dozen injured,
one critically.

The guy who opened the locker?

John Wojciechowski.

Found his left hand embedded
in the opposite wall.

Air Force Academy ring
still on it.

- 'Pilot?'
- Not anymore.

IED, Rush. A nasty
little bitch in a box.

What's that, Louie?

"Improvised explosive device."

Um, trip wire triggered

pipe bomb enclosed
in some sort of..

...wooden box.

Packed with screws and nails

pieces of metal shrapnel.

Junk bomb.

But not exactly a cold job.

This one may be related
to at least two, maybe three

prior bombings in the city.

[Louie]
'Big Box Electronics store
back in '99'

engineering firm in '01

and County Hospital
two years later.

'Signature is the same.'

There hasn't been
a bomb fatality in Philadelphia

in over what, five years?

Which is why we thought
the guy who did this one

was locked up or long gone.

- What, killed himself?
- Or maimed.

Often happens to people
who play with explosives.

Or who go to the gym
in the morning.

The feds ever look into it?

Looked, but never found a link.

Attacks were local,
never used the mail

no federal jurisdiction.

Any connection
between the targets?

Public places, but otherwise
pretty indiscriminate.

So, we have no idea
what this lunatic wants

or where he's gonna hit next.

Just that he's alive and well.

And back with a vengeance.

[theme music]

[instrumental music]

I was just looking
for that shirt.

And here I was beginning
to think you were a vampire.

Why's that?

First time you
stayed till sunup.

[chuckles]

I'm not sure how much longer

we're gonna be able to
keep this on the down low.

People are talking.

Really? Who?

How about that?

Never met a DA
afraid of publicity.

Depends what kind.

Lady's got a reputation,
you know.

Oh, just when I thought I'd try

to make an honest
woman out of you.

Get real. You haven't even
bought me breakfast yet.

Well, how about dinner?

I know the perfect place.

I was kinda enjoying
the skulking around stage.

Dinner? That might involve
having a real conversation.

Well, that's why
they invented wine.

You sure you want to spoil it

just when things
were going so well?

We're adults.

I'm sure we'll find
something to talk about.

You mean besides
dirtbags and doers?

I'm gonna have to requisition
that shirt now, lady.

[instrumental music]

Initial forensics confirm
the bomb contained parts

consistent with
the three other attacks.

Two dead
and two critically maimed

over a nine-year period.

Not a lot of help
from the feds

in any of the cases.

Or willingness
to share information.

Big surprise.
Locations? Victims?

Big Box Electronics
store back in '99.

Curt Fitzpatrick, floor manager,
21 died on the scene.

Kinetic Core Engineering firm,
2001.

[Will]
'Gene Schmidt, 42-year-old
father of three'

blinded by a bomb
outside the building.

Survived.

[Kat]
'Roderick Poole didn't.'

'30-year-old
physician's assistant'

'killed at County Hospital
back in 2003.'

And now Wojciechowski
at a sports club.

[John]
'Recently engaged
commercial airline pilot.'

Targets are scattershot,
no common denominator.

Except wrong place,
wrong time.

But all in public places
with a lot of foot traffic.

Could be the locations
he's targeting.

Claim as many victims
as possible.

One angry sociopath.

Bomb construction
tell us anything?

Um, some trigger mechanism.

Not your garden-variety crackpot
mixing fertilizer and ammonia.

Louie and the bomb squad
are putting together

a full analysis of the parts.

We've got a fresh
crime scene for once.

We line up interviews
with every witness?

Except the night-cleaning crew.

The manager of the sports club
is stonewalling.

You don't think he might
be subcontracting

the work out to illegals?

Told him he doesn't
give us every last name

we'll bring in ICE
and shut him down.

Let's keep this in our house.

We don't need the feds
coming in now to muck things up.

Just called the hospital.

Our pilot's out of surgery.

After he sees his family,
anything he can remember.

[instrumental music]

It was like a thunderclap.

I didn't know what hit me.

I know this is hard, John, but..

...if there's anything you
remember, it might help.

Everything just went blank.

Came to when I was
on the ground..

...reached down to prop
myself up, but..

'...couldn't.'

Me and Jen just bought
our wedding rings too, you know?

You see anyone suspicious
in the area beforehand?

'Looked out of place?
Didn't belong?'

No, when I got my hearing back..

...there was this awful ringing.

- I heard this whistling sound.
- Whistling?

All the chaos, I couldn't tell

where it was coming from.

[alarm ringing]

[indistinct shouting]

[man whistling]

I know I was going
into shock but I swear

that I heard
somebody whistling.

Who the hell would do that?

You get a look at that guy?

Not a good one, he..

...had, like, a cap
pulled down tight.

That song, sound familiar?

Not really.

You think that was the guy
that did this to me?

It's possible the bomber
stayed nearby to..

...see if it worked.

Well, if you catch him

you tell the bastard
that I'm still alive.

[instrumental music]

[Will]
'It's Angel Perez,
Mexican illegal.'

Got his name off
the night-cleaning crew list

from the manager
of the sports club.

- Where'd you find him?
- Sacks Park.

Tried to skate
when we ID'd him.

He's pretty upset right now.

Doesn't speak a word of English.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Pretty sure I speak
a language he'll understand.

[door opens]

[Scotty]
'Hey.'

[speaking Spanish]

You wanna tell me why
you ran from the police?

'Me entiende?'

Habla Espanol?

No? Okay.

[speaking Spanish]

So, no habla Ingles

and you can't understand
my Spanish, is that the game?

Right.

I got a cousin
that works in ICE.

[Scotty]
'Here's the deal, amigo.'

Either you tell me
everything you saw

in the next
ten seconds or we bounce

your sorry ass out on
the next bus to the border.

- Oye,Jorgito..
- No.

No, it's okay.

[Scotty]
'Wait. Sorry.'

You got something
you want to tell me?

Si, si, entiendo, um..

I understand.

Hold on a sec, will ya?

It's not what I see.

It's what I hear.

[indistinct singing]

[instrumental "John Henry"]

[explosion]

A music box?

Minute later, bomb
go off, same locker.

Everything go crazy.

I get scared, I run.

I thought it was my fault.

Sit tight.

We're gonna need you to give an
exact description of that box.

Gracias, Angel.

An old music box?

The bomb delivery device.

Kind with the brass
cylinder inside

turns and plays a song.

Almost all music boxes
were made of wood

at the turn of the century.

Can't be too many companies

still in business making those.

I found one company in Vermont

that still supplies parts.

Nice old lady told me
that they sell cylinders

that play mostly
American standards.

[Nick]
'And that another
customer in Philly'

ordered multiple cylinders

all playing the same song.

- "John Henry."
- "John Henry."

That could've been
the song playing on the box.

[Nick]
'Well, I asked
the DA's office to subpoena'

their purchasing records.

John Henry, steel-driving man.

I remember that story as a kid.

Railroad guy with
the hammer, right?

Yeah, raced against
a steam drill

tunneling through a mountain.

Yeah, and John Henry won.

Then he keeled over and died.

It means something to this guy.

Man versus machine?

Maybe a disgruntled,
anti-government type.

[Scotty]
'Could be a militia nutjob.'

Doesn't exactly
connect the locations.

Purchaser's name
is Carl Baxter.

[female #2]
'Paid with a credit card.'

Shipping address is Mantua.

I already got you a search
warrant for the residence.

Anything else you need
on this, let me know.

Call SWAT and
the bomb squad. Let's go.

[dramatic music]

[siren wailing]

Nobody home.

Better pray for no surprises.

[indistinct chattering]

Over here.

Look familiar?

[Nick]
'Fitzpatrick,
Schmidt and Poole.'

All his previous victims.

Not so random after all.

Wasn't the locations he was
targeting, it was individuals.

Wedding announcement,
Luke and Beth Ross.

[Nick]
'That's ten years old.'

[Lilly]
'Luke Ross.'

That name was on the
sports club member list.

This guy belongs
to the gym, too?

No photo.
Nothing on Wojciechowski.

Our bomber hit the wrong guy?

If that's the case, he's got
some unfinished business.

Yeah, and we just
found his next target.

[instrumental music]

[Lilly]
'CSU dusted for prints.
Got the whole block staked out.'

Nothing from the canvass?

Building management
thinks he's a squatter.

What about the guy in
the wedding photo announcement?

Luke Ross, portfolio manager.

Lives in Chestnut Hill.

- What have we got?
- 'Music box.'

Home entertainment system,
circa 1900.

[Nick]
'Brass cylinder'

'thousand little teeth'

turn and slowly
pluck a metal comb

out comes the music.

'Bomb squad said
the cylinder was rigged'

'to trigger the explosion.'

Trip wire, triggers
an electric fuse..

...after a full revolution.

[Lilly]
'After the song ends.'

People admire the craftsmanship,
want to touch the box.

[John]
'Soon as they open it..'

Starts the song, arms the bomb.

Took some serious
electro-mechanical skill

to rig one of these
with a pipe bomb.

What about the song?

John Henry's the underdog

a David and Goliath story.

It's also a protest song.

Against the machine?

Or management.

Production efficiency
at the expense of the worker.

[John]
'"Say before I let this
steam drill beat me down'

I'll hammer
my fool self to death."

John Henry died
with a hammer in his hand.

He beat the machine
but killed himself doing it.

This guy thinks
his cause is noble.

And he's got something to prove.

With his own pretty
little killing machine.

[instrumental music]

Does that have
real bullets in it?

Mia, why don't you go watch
The Pink Panthernow?

Okay.

You're a financial planner,
Mr. Ross?

Yeah. But I've never had so much
as a dispute with a client.

Anyone else you know
might be holding a grudge?

- 'Personal or otherwise?'
- No.

[Luke]
'No one at all.'

You concur, Mrs. Ross?

There was that one call, Luke.

[Beth]
'You remember?'

- What call?
- A couple of months ago.

The one from the bank
about our credit card.

It was nothing.

No. It was definitely something.

[man on phone]
'Can you just tell us
if you have any recurring'

'monthly charges
on the card, ma'am?'

Certainly, newspapers,
DVD rental subscription

my husband's monthly
gym membership.

'Yes. And the name
of that facility?'

Philly Sport & Racquet Club.

'Right, and were there
any other additional charges'

'to that business
that you're aware of?'

Other than
the monthly membership?

Oh. There may be charges
to the juice bar.

'And those charges
would occur..'

In the morning, around 7:00,
every Tuesday and Thursday.

'Thank you, ma'am.
Just a few more questions.'

'Is your husband still employed
at Mutual Heritage Bank?'

Yes. Why?

'Well, it must be nice'

'to make a living
off the backs of others.'

Excuse me?

'I hope you
and your husband are enjoying'

'your new purchases.'

'Love the blue curtains,
by the way.'

[intense music]

Who is this?

[phone hangs up]

Police said they couldn't
do anything about a prank call.

[Kat]
'That's how the bomber
knew Luke's routine.'

'When he went to that gym.'

[Luke]
'I just didn't go yesterday'

'cause I...took Mia to school.

I was upset
by the call at the time

but to think I could've
gotten my husband killed..

You have any idea
what the caller

might have meant
by that comment

about how you make a living?

No.

[Kat]
'We'll check your phone records'

see if we can trace the call.

I don't understand.
Why is this happening to us?

For your own safety
we'll provide your family

with a police detail.

[instrumental music]

Bomber called his targets
posing as a credit card rep.

To get their daily
routines, habits.

Went after them
in public places.

Make it seem random.

Ross got lucky.

- Wojciechowski, not so much.
- That info stays here.

Press doesn't know
he missed his intended target

maybe our killer
doesn't either.

No sense endangering Ross.

A dump on the Ross home phone
traced the harassing call

back to a pay phone at the
20th Street train station.

He's on the move.
Worth a canvass.

Check the station's
security cameras.

Carl Baxter
isn't going anywhere.

I subpoenaed
the credit card app

'to get his social
security number.'

Turns out the real Carl Baxter
is upstate in Frackville.

Been locked up since '95.

[instrumental music]

Philly's finest.

Is there a reason for the cell
and strip search, fellas?

So you don't
spontaneously combust.

What gives?
I don't use and I don't deal.

Ask anyone inside.

Use what?

Methamphetamine.

What y'all locked me up for.
Distribution.

Says you used to drive
a truck cross-country.

California. Crank capital.

Wasn't me that brought it in,
it would have been someone else.

Also spent some time
in the military.

Judge gave me a choice
when I was 18, army or jail.

Can't say it helped much.

Is that where
you learned about munitions?

- Demolition, explosives?
- No.

Talking about pipe bombs, Carl.

Pipe what?

Y'all are smoking some
better stuff than I ever had.

You graduate high school, Carl?

I'm working on my GED.

[Nick]
'Forget it.
This guy's a lummox.'

- A what?
- Don't worry about it.

Someone stole
your identity, pal.

Just can't figure out
why he picked you.

[dramatic music]

Whoa, whoa, hold up.

Turn around.

Hold your arms out.

- John Henry.
- 'Yeah.'

My two boys.

All but grown up now.

He stole that big galoot's
identity for a reason.

The song, the tattoo.

Maybe he did time with Baxter?

Baxter's been locked
up for 12 years.

Never shared a cell.

No one on cell block D
at Frackville

even comes close
to the profile.

So why Baxter?

It's like he's leading us

trying to tell us something.

About John Henry?

[Nick]
'Who fought to prove something'

that he still had value
as a human being.

To protect his job,
his way of life.

This guy's angry. He's lashing
out at some personal beef.

- 'Some wrong.'
- Something he lost?

Checked with Pennsylvania
Department of Corrections

to see if a third party
could've accessed

Baxter's booking info.

Webmaster on the site

found a number of hits
to Baxter's profile page.

Came back to a local branch

of the Philadelphia
Public Library.

Yes, Mr. Baxter
is here quite a bit.

Such a nice man.

Usually on the computer?
The Internet?

From time to time.

But mostly, he likes to sit
over there at that table

reading or staring
at the photos on the wall.

Lil.

[Kat]
'Look at the caption.'

"John Henry Road, 1976."

Where is that?

Germantown, I think.

The section with the streets

named after the builders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

I only know because Mr. Baxter

told me that he
grew up on that block.

[instrumental music]

Here you go.

Home sweet home.

Just like you remembered it.

John Henry Road, huh?

Check out the sign.

[Lilly]
'It's what he's been
trying to tell us.'

The place where he grew up.

Gone...and forgotten.

[Kat]
Pulled city records
on John Henry Road

discovered a legal battle
over a property

on the street back in '96.

The home was occupied
by Alessandro Rossilini.

Took over the mortgage after his
father died and refused to sell.

- Developers call it a spike.
- A spike?

Lone holdout
on a residential street

undergoing
commercial development.

[Kat]
'Records indicate Rossilini'

clung to the property until
he defaulted on the mortgage

and the bank foreclosed.

The house was finally razed?

Back in '99, about the same time

Rossilini went off the grid.

Pixelerator Media
took over the property

but never wound
up breaking ground.

By the time the litigation
ended, the tech market crashed.

Started outsourcing their
computer programmers overseas.

What do we know about Rossilini?

Worked ten years
at Kinetic Core Engineering

laid off in '97.

Same firm as Eugene Schmidt

'bomb survivor '01.'

Rossilini loses his job,
wants payback.

We know if he has
any family in town?

Divorced in '99.

Had a four-year-old daughter
at the time.

Alright, talk to Schmidt,
track down the ex-wife.

See if she knows
where we might find him today.

Hey, boss, you'll be sure
to give us a heads up, right?

What's that?

When they start
outsourcing murder cops.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

I left Kinetic Core
after the attack.

Took me a while before I could
walk back into any office.

The bomb went off outside
the courtyard?

I lost sight in my right eye.

But then, it made
me quit smoking.

You remember
a mechanical engineer

named Alessandro Rossilini?

Why? You think
he did this to me?

You remember you
let him go, right?

Along with about 20
other guys in his division.

I was senior VP
of project design.

It wasn't personal.

But he didn't
take it too well?

He was a good
engineer, but..

...most of them
never saw it coming.

I just don't understand.
I mean..

I thought you were
happy with my work.

It's got nothing to do
with your performance.

We're being forced to
restructure our overhead costs.

But we're profitable,
I mean, every year--

'And it's my job
to keep it that way.'

Look, you might wanna
think about retraining

'you know, another
area of expertise.'

I'm a mechanical engineer
with a masters.

I have 15 years experience.

'We're opening a new
plant in Bangalore'

training engineers to do
computer-aided design

at one-fifth the salary.

You just can't
do this to people.

Look, you're not hearing me,
Alessandro.

'Your skills have
been commodified.'

We're not the
only company doing it.

I have a wife, a kid.

I have a mortgage.

Take the severance.

'Use the time to find
some temp work'

'until you figure out
something else.'

But those jobs
were headed overseas

and they weren't coming back.

[instrumental music]

Honestly, I haven't talked
to my ex-husband in years.

[female #1]
'Pretty much since the divorce.'

What did he do
after he was fired?

Alessandro just went
into a spiral

trying to find a decent job

at even half the salary

much less benefits.

But you have a daughter, right?

He didn't petition
for custody, visitation?

What?

We lost our health insurance..

...some time before
my daughter got sick.

Sick?

Bilateral retinoblastoma.

It's a treatable cancer
if it's caught early enough.

How old was your daughter?

Four.

[female #1]
We both were working overtime

but we...couldn't keep up
with our health premium.

What about Medicaid?

We qualified, but..

...it just became
increasingly difficult

to find the kind of care
that Sophia needed.

I'm sorry, sir.

- Sir, let go of my arm.

[Alessandro]
If the damn insurance company

we would've started

And then the cancer

I'm sorry, sir, but that

Oh, no, you're sorry.
For what?

That the computers are down.

This whole damn system

♪ It's aimed at you.. ♪♪

That's victim number two,
physician's assistant at County.

Roderick Poole.

Sophia was too far along.

She passed six months later.

When did Alessandro leave?

I left him.

When our daughter died,
our marriage died, too.

[Scotty]
'Any idea where
he could've gone?'

I always assumed he went to go
live with his brother Luciano.

His brother. You know
where we can contact him?

I'm sorry. It's, uh..

It's just,
it's been a long time.

[instrumental music]

What's the DA doing here?

He called in the feds.

The FBI's here?

Oh, you just missed
the big press conference.

DA announced a joint
task force with the FBI.

"Presently conducting
an investigation

"to locate the whereabouts

of the person of interest."

"In cooperation with the
Philadelphia Police Department."

- 'Of course.'
- 'Forgot the best part.'

[Scotty]
'"The task force has already'

"collaborated to thwart
the bomber's attack

on an intended target."

- You're kidding me.
- Do you believe this?

That info was restricted
to protect Luke Ross.

Was.

The boss already sent
Vera and Miller

to beef up
the security detail.

I talk to you?

You brought the feds in?

- No, my boss did.
- Yeah.

And he just revealed
to the press

that our bomber missed his last
target. Thanks for that.

Scotty, it's pretty clear

you needed help
bringing this guy in.

Now, that's a bunch of bull.

- It's a joint task force.
- It's a joke.

Look, the feds
don't share information

they just take it.

They're not on the ground,
doing the legwork

dealing with the victims.

You need to look at
the big picture, Scotty.

Last I checked, this guy
is still out there.

Look, where I come from

we try not to turn witnesses..

...into collateral damage.

That's the big picture.

My job is to put this guy away.

That's not my problem.

You know, if he goes back
to finish Ross now..

...his blood's on your hands.

I tracked down the name of the
bomber's brother on Accurint.

Luciano Rossilini legally
changed his name back in '98.

Luke Ross?

Same guy he tried to kill?

His own brother.

[intense music]

I've gone by Luke for years

long before
I changed it legally.

What about your
last name, Luciano

that too Italian?

Or you just running
from something?

In my line of work, it was
just easier to shorten it

when I switched jobs.

We think you knew
about it all along.

That the man we've been
searching for was your brother.

- 'Alessandro.'
- What, that's ridiculous.

Oh, come on, the harassing
phone call to your wife.

Hmm. What he said.

[Lilly]
'All he'd been
through, how angry'

and bitter he'd become.

Look, my brother..

...has fallen on
some hard times of late

but he's not a violent man.

The bomb he left for you

just blew off another man's arm.

You got lucky this time, Luke.

I admit we had a falling out.

But he's still my brother.

[Lilly]
'Look, you looked
up to him as a kid.'

But your brother
needs help now, Luke.

He was like a hero
to me growing up.

[Luke]
'He had that job
and the house..'

...beautiful family..

But he lost it all.

Got dealt some pretty raw blows.

His whole world just fell apart.

Do you know where he is now?

Last time I saw him,
he was holed up

in our parents' old house.

Couldn't get him out.

Sandro, we got to talk.

[Luke]
'You got to get out, Sandro.'

'They're coming to
tear the place down.'

You have to let it go.

[Alessandro]
Do I know you?

I know things have been hard

'what you've gone through.'

You think you know
what I've been through.

I'm sorry.

You don't know anything
about loss or sacrifice.

But Dad knew.

He was out of work when
he made us this music box

for Sophia for Christmas.

[Alessandro]
'Look at the detail.'

- I remember.
- 'The craftsmanship.'

'He found the time'

to create things
of-of lasting value

things with integrity.

Dad had a lot
of pride in his work.

Like the tile work at
the 20th Street station or..

...the stonework on this house.

This was, this was
our parents' dream.

It's our legacy.

Things change.

Remember he always used to
tell us the story of John Henry?

He tried to warn us

to work with our-our brains

rather than our backs

and so I did.

'We both did.'

'I got an education.'

A job.

I tried to do good work

and in the end,
it just doesn't matter.

I'm disposable,
like everything is now.

And now you wanna let them

tear down the street
that we grew up on

so they can,
they can build, what?

They can sell people, what?

Crap, that nobody needs.

The street's gone, Sandro.

Not everything's meant
to last forever.

So just give up
and let them have the house

that I raised my daughter in?

It's time to move on.

Oh, you..

You..

...are perfect
for this world, little brother.

Making money off
the backs of others.

You're going to have
to pay the mortgage

'cause I'm not giving
you any more money.

You're not my brother.

Get out of my house.

♪ Who am I.. ♪♪

He stayed until
the bulldozers finally came.

I don't know where
he went after that.

He mentioned the train station

the one your father worked on.

It's the 20th Street station.

My dad did the tile work there.

The same station the call
came from the pay phone.

[Scotty]
'They spotted him.'

There's SWAT and bomb squad
en route, boss.

Security camera at the station
picked him up on a bench.

He hasn't moved in over an hour.

I'll have them stop the
train lines, seal the station.

Have Vera and Miller
give Mr. Ross a ride back home.

I'm coming with you.

My brother's there.
He might talk to me.

Get him a vest. Keep him behind
the shield in case we need him.

[dramatic music]

He's got something
on his lap.

- I'm gonna make an approach.
- Got it.

[dramatic music]

Lieutenant Stillman,
Alessandro.

Call me John.

I used to come here
sometimes with my father and..

...I would just sit here.

It always calmed me.

You father did beautiful work.

That's when people
took pride in it

when they built things to last.

He always said it was
better to be the guy

'who designed it, but..'

...they don't even
do that anymore.

He sounds like a man
of integrity.

Who knew it'd all
come down to this?

You did, Alessandro,
but you can stop it right now.

It never stops,
never stops, never, never.

[Alessandro]
At first I thought..

...I'd gone mad.

But then I realized
it wasn't me..

...it's the world
that's gone mad.

Everything that's happened,
all you lost..

...you can't bring that back.

You become numb, disconnected

'conditioned to accept every..'

...every indignity.

Disposable.

Is that really
what this is all about?

It's never anyone's fault.

Never. "I'm just doing my job.

It's not personal.
It's just business."

[John]
'But it is personal, isn't it?'

When it's your family?

People have to answer
for what they do.

I gave them all
a chance again and again.

Put the box down, Alessandro.

[Alessandro]
'But you can only
get pushed down...so far..'

...before you
have to stand up

and tell them you have value.

What's the problem now, sir?

The problem is that
this thing doesn't work.

- What is it?
- 'It's a shower radio.'

Do you have a receipt?

- Yeah.
- What's wrong with it?

As soon as it got wet,
the radio broke.

Piece of crap, huh?

What did you say?

I'm sorry,
but it's after 30 days.

So-so what?

So we can't accept
any returns after 30 days

unless you purchased
an in-store extended warranty.

- You must be joking.
- I wish I was.

You can send it back
to the manufacturer.

It's still under their warranty.

To where, Taiwan?

I mean, it would cost me
more to ship it

'there than what it's worth.'

I'm sorry, sir.
Uh, next in line.

No, no, just a minute,
just a minute.

No, see,
if you were truly sorry

you would stand by the product

and just give me my money back.

- I don't make the rules, sir.
- So that's it?

[Alessandro]
'Just send it back
to the manufacturer?'

You're sure that this is
the way you want to handle this?

Look, man, you're right

it's going to cost
you less just to toss it

and buy a new one.

What the hell kind

Disposable.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I'm sorry, sir,

- No one's innocent. No one.

We're all,

People need to be made..

About loss.

You used to bring

Isn't that really

All the blame..

'...clinging to

People expect you to move on.

Yeah, but you can't.

It's not natural
to outlive your own child.

But you can't
destroy this place.

'All your father built.'

No, I would never do that.

It's not there.

The bomb's not there.

[intense music]

But nothing lasts forever.

[phone ringing]
Mom, mom, I got
to show you something.

Hello.

Oh, hi, mom. No, we're fine.

Mom, I got the coolest thing
at school day in my cubby. Look.

Where's your wife now?

Picking up Mia from school.

She should be home by now.

What's going on?

'It's okay, mom.'

Vera, answer damn it.
