It never hurts to have a confession.
That shouldn't be too difficult. Those two aren't exactly brain surgeons. They'll give it up. Hardest part might be keeping their names straight. The white guy's name is Mike Black. They call him White Mike. The black guy's name is Mike White. His street name is Black Mike.
I'll take Black Mike.
Great. I got Mike Black.
(Jo looks confused)
The white guy. Don't think about it. But trust me, it's right.
I can't imagine what that withdrawal thing feels like.
Kind of like a cop who can't get a donut.
(About Mike Black) He's either an amazing liar... or I'm not as good at this as I think I am.
When my son Jimmy got on the PD, he was assigned to this precinct. The two of us would meet here every Sunday morning for breakfast. For the past ten years, uh, every Sunday I go to Mass and... then come back here to this counter alone. I... try to remember his voice... the cop-fireman banter, the love, respect we had for one another. Every Sunday that goes by, memory fades a bit. But... this is how I want to remember him.
Well, that's why we're doing this project, right, Joe? Keep those memories alive. And, uh... while I hate to admit it... it's been a real honour working with you on this project. I feel like I've found a friend for life.
Here's to us. A grumpy old fireman with no personality and a... charismatic... charming cop who came together... to help to build something that will last forever.
Charismatic, my ass.
I'm just imagining how cluttered that desk of yours must be now, now that you're the boss.
Oh! Interim boss. It's your desk. Although I wish you could've seen their faces when I moved a few things in there. It was like I had just taken over Joe DiMaggio's locker.
(Both chuckle)
It was... but we both know I'm just keeping the seat warm for you until you come back.
I'm not coming back, Jo.
Hey, Jo.
Yeah?
Measure twice, cut once.
I know. I know. Look at everything again... every report, every crime scene photo. Answer's in there somewhere.
That ring around the blood spot is called skeletonization.
Why don't they just call it a ring?
Okay, that's it. Forget it. I give up.
Sorry, it would be much more interesting if you guys used smaller words.
(Soon after the Word Trade Center collapsed, Flack and Danny stumble upon each other)
Hey, buddy, you can't go down there.
It's okay, I'm on the job.
What's your name?
Messer. Danny Messer.
Listen to me, Messer. You don't need to go down...
No, I got to get down there and help!
Listen to me, Messer. They're all gone!
I want to go help these people!
They're all gone.
You lost your wife, I lost my son. It is what it is. There is no good way to let go of that.
We were both down there on that pile, Joe. Digging, searching, hoping. When we first met, I remember you telling me how moved you were at seeing some of the same faces, day in and day out, down there at the site. Everybody coming together to pitch in and help out. How inspired you were that so much evil and pain could be channeled into so much good. Celebrate that. Share that. You said you did it for the families. You're one of the families, too, Joe. Don't forget that.
We've known each other for about a year now, Don. I have never told you this, but I think you're one hell of a detective.
Thanks, Jo.
You're welcome.
Jury's still out on you, interim boss.
(Adam is trying to get the tie knot right)
Do you need a hand?
No, I got it. Got it. Just got to...
By the time you're finished, it's gonna be the 20th anniversary.
(About Lindsay) Where's... Adam and, erm... what's-her-name?
Can I tell you something?
Sure. What's up?
I slept through it.
Through what?
9/11. I've actually never told anybody that before. Just... too embarrassed, you know? And everyone always asks me, you know: "Where were you?" And... I would lie.
