How often you keep the place open after 4:00 a.m.? [Witness hesitant to answer] Mr. Lannigan, I thought this might go without saying but I'm more interested in the body lying in front of your bar than what was going on inside.

You lost your wife on 9/11, right?
Yes, I did.
HMHannah McCray
Did they...? Was she ever...?
No, no, she was never identified.
HMHannah McCray
Was she the...?
Claire. Her name is Claire, and the victims are not just DNA profiles. They have names.
(Hannah grows silent)
I'm sorry, I... I didn't, I didn't mean... I know you don't think that.
HMHannah McCray
Is that why you left the police department? To do DNA research that might help identify her?
No, I'm helping to develop new techniques in extracting DNA because 1,121 victims still remain unidentified. Those families don't have closure, and... I know what that feels like
This is crazy, Mac. There are still so many people inside.
Claire, look, I know you want to help. Listen to me. Just stay on the phone and get as far away as you can.
(Jet engine roaring)
Oh, my God.
(Loud crash)

Oh, my God! Another plane just hit the other tower. A second airplane just flew directly into the South Tower. This is obviously not an accident.
Claire? Claire! Claire!
(Imitating Jo) Well, uh, I'm just... so sorry, sir, you're just not the man who replaces Mac Taylor at the head of this crime lab. Yeah, not with that pocket protector and those silly Pee Wee Herman-looking glasses.
(Imitating the man) Uh, but, um, then why did Chief Sinclair want to interview me and have you show me around the lab?
(Imitating Jo) Well, that's probably because he's just got to make believe that Mac Taylor's never coming back. He doesn't even know the difference between a GCMS and a scanning electron microscope. Well, I'll tell you what, sweet thing, okay? I'm gonna introduce you to a bunch of people that you're never gonna be supervising...
There's something seriously wrong with you.
(Gasps) Awkward. How long were you there?
Pretty much the whole time
When you're the man and you see that the interim boss is not happy with that answer, you dig a little deeper.
(Jo smiles amused)
(After arresting some perps by tracing a cell phone)
Technology.
Got to love it.
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.
MBMike Black
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.
