WEBVTT - Chapter Three

0:00:00.330 --> 0:00:05.550
<v Speaker 1>This series is based on the real events of 9-11. However, names, incidents, locations,

0:00:05.670 --> 0:00:09.930
<v Speaker 1>and dialogue have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes. This series

0:00:09.990 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>contains strong language and profanity, and scenes that some listeners

0:00:13.500 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>could find disturbing.

0:00:14.380 --> 0:00:22.660
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, okay.

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 3>By two in the afternoon, we were deep in search

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.450
<v Speaker 3>and rescue means. but still short of personnel and equipment

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 3>to find survivors. The air was unbreathable and you couldn't

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 3>see your hand in front of your face. Makeshift morgues

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 3>were being set up throughout lower Manhattan. I didn't think

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>things could get worse.

0:00:45.510 --> 0:00:45.930
<v Speaker 4>They could.

0:00:49.430 --> 0:00:52.810
<v Speaker 3>Building 7 on West Broadway and Vesey Street wasn't hit

0:00:52.850 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 3>by the planes. but by flaming debris from the collapsed towers.

0:00:58.580 --> 0:00:59.770
<v Speaker 5>Division 7, Manhattan.

0:01:00.580 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Be advised, reporting fire in the lower levels of 7

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.900
<v Speaker 3>World Trade.

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.220
<v Speaker 5>Looks like it's been burning for hours. Division copies.

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.660
<v Speaker 1>We're operating lobby command, sending units to check floors 2

0:01:12.660 --> 0:01:14.340
<v Speaker 1>through 8.

0:01:14.340 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 6>As intended, to Division 7.

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:17.979
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead, 10.

0:01:17.980 --> 0:01:21.100
<v Speaker 6>Heavy smoke and stir will be at floor 6. Be advised,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 6>we may have multiple civilians trapped.

0:01:24.670 --> 0:01:25.470
<v Speaker 5>Repeat you traffic?

0:01:26.810 --> 0:01:28.290
<v Speaker 6>Smoke pushing up stairwell B.

0:01:29.270 --> 0:01:30.590
<v Speaker 5>Battalion 1, go.

0:01:31.010 --> 0:01:34.429
<v Speaker 6>Reports from exterior building 7 indicate fire in the Con

0:01:34.470 --> 0:01:37.209
<v Speaker 6>Ed vault area. Might be feeding into the lower floors.

0:01:39.310 --> 0:01:41.370
<v Speaker 5>Ladder 15, smoke increasing rapidly.

0:01:41.670 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 6>We're blind past 10 feet. Engine 10, we're pulling ceiling

0:01:46.730 --> 0:01:50.420
<v Speaker 6>tiles to check for fire above. Activate fire suppression.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.700
<v Speaker 5>Fire suppression is negative. We don't have water pressure.

0:01:54.590 --> 0:01:56.130
<v Speaker 6>Repeat 15.

0:01:56.130 --> 0:01:58.020
<v Speaker 5>We don't have water pressure.

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.580
<v Speaker 7>Mayday, mayday. Stay where you'll be.

0:02:01.500 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 5>One. Fire on the 8th floor. Engine 10, respond. Engine 10, respond.

0:02:13.150 --> 0:02:24.660
<v Speaker 5>Instructors showing signs of failure. Radio malfunction. Mayday. Engine 10, respond.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Repeat, radio.

0:02:34.620 --> 0:02:41.340
<v Speaker 5>Malfunction. Mayday. Engine 10, respond. Engine 10, respond.

0:02:45.460 --> 0:02:49.139
<v Speaker 3>I'm Frank Sturiano, formerly of the New York City Police Department.

0:02:50.300 --> 0:02:52.100
<v Speaker 3>Think you know the whole story of 9-11?

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.260
<v Speaker 8>You don't.

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.739
<v Speaker 3>This is Underground Zero. This is my story of how

0:02:58.780 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>we took on the mob.

0:03:03.460 --> 0:03:08.339
<v Speaker 9>Our helicopters are circling above the pile, almost two million

0:03:08.460 --> 0:03:11.459
<v Speaker 9>tons of debris that used to be the World Trade Center.

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 9>Our very own Tracy Marquez has been on the scene

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 9>since just after the North Tower was hit.

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.220
<v Speaker 10>Almost seven hours ago.

0:03:20.300 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 9>Tracy, how are you holding up down there?

0:03:22.500 --> 0:03:26.700
<v Speaker 11>Michael, if this morning's attack represented the worst of human nature,

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:32.340
<v Speaker 11>what we're seeing now represents the best. Volunteers, hundreds of them,

0:03:32.530 --> 0:03:36.630
<v Speaker 11>have formed bucket brigades, passing pails full of debris from

0:03:36.710 --> 0:03:39.730
<v Speaker 11>hand to hand, loading them into trucks for removal to collect.

0:03:40.050 --> 0:03:43.010
<v Speaker 3>I told Joe I didn't want his ass anywhere near

0:03:43.030 --> 0:03:46.050
<v Speaker 3>the Trade Center. But he was holding all the cards.

0:03:46.810 --> 0:03:47.570
<v Speaker 3>And we both knew it.

0:03:48.710 --> 0:03:52.250
<v Speaker 4>I almost felt sorry for Frank, a straight-up guy. What

0:03:52.290 --> 0:03:56.190
<v Speaker 4>could he do? It was business, and we were going

0:03:56.210 --> 0:03:59.290
<v Speaker 4>to get our taste no matter what. When the boss

0:03:59.350 --> 0:04:02.980
<v Speaker 4>tells you to plant the family's flag, a Genovese does

0:04:03.020 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 4>what a Genovese has to do.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>As my brother-in-law, he swore he'd keep his distance. That's

0:04:10.900 --> 0:04:14.940
<v Speaker 3>how I knew he'd send over a surrogate. Construction union

0:04:15.020 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>rep Eddie Bernstein.

0:04:16.140 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 7>This isn't business, Frank. We're dealing with a national tragedy.

0:04:20.660 --> 0:04:22.260
<v Speaker 7>And we're all Americans.

0:04:22.779 --> 0:04:24.460
<v Speaker 8>Your patriotism's impressive.

0:04:24.500 --> 0:04:28.020
<v Speaker 3>Who kept his squeaky clean image, despite his mob connections.

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.219
<v Speaker 2>Not to mention, there could be God knows how many

0:04:30.260 --> 0:04:32.820
<v Speaker 2>people still trapped in the rubble, hanging on by a thread.

0:04:33.020 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 8>But you mentioned it anyway.

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>And we put our money where our mouth is, those

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.890
<v Speaker 2>trucks outside, the digging equipment, crane operators, riggers, they're all ours.

0:04:41.350 --> 0:04:43.490
<v Speaker 7>You can't wait for the feds. You don't have time.

0:04:43.550 --> 0:04:44.029
<v Speaker 10>Enough, Eddie.

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 7>Our company's built a trade center in the first place.

0:04:47.220 --> 0:04:48.580
<v Speaker 8>I'm the guy who vetted them.

0:04:48.900 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not going to override the process to give

0:04:51.100 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 3>you guys preference.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 7>I know you, Frankie.

0:04:54.830 --> 0:04:55.250
<v Speaker 4>Christ.

0:04:55.890 --> 0:04:56.570
<v Speaker 7>I know your dad.

0:04:57.410 --> 0:04:59.270
<v Speaker 2>And I know you couldn't sleep nights if you had

0:04:59.290 --> 0:05:01.969
<v Speaker 2>to tell widows and orphans that you could have saved.

0:05:01.790 --> 0:05:05.830
<v Speaker 7>Their husbands, their moms, their dads. But you didn't. So

0:05:05.870 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 7>you can maintain your precious vetting standards. Open it.

0:05:11.650 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 8>Mickey. We just found two survivors in the pile.

0:05:15.100 --> 0:05:15.979
<v Speaker 7>They're digging them out now.

0:05:16.020 --> 0:05:16.980
<v Speaker 4>The press is gathering.

0:05:17.500 --> 0:05:20.940
<v Speaker 7>They want to talk to you, Frankie. Hey, Eddie. Mick,

0:05:21.710 --> 0:05:24.969
<v Speaker 7>that is great news. Don't you want more of that, Frank?

0:05:25.070 --> 0:05:26.450
<v Speaker 8>Eddie, get out of my office.

0:05:26.650 --> 0:05:30.910
<v Speaker 7>Help us help you. Mickey, talk some sense into him,

0:05:30.950 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 7>will you?

0:05:31.500 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 10>Get the fuck out, Ed.

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 7>Good seeing you, Eddie. Say hello to the family.

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:36.900
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:41.180 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Son of a bitch wants me to override our vetting process, Mick.

0:05:45.260 --> 0:05:48.150
<v Speaker 3>It's a minor detail compared to how short we are

0:05:48.190 --> 0:05:49.070
<v Speaker 3>in men and equipment.

0:05:50.130 --> 0:05:52.190
<v Speaker 7>Kind of is, isn't it? I mean, if you want

0:05:52.210 --> 0:05:53.210
<v Speaker 7>to get the job done right.

0:05:53.410 --> 0:05:55.170
<v Speaker 3>You want to see us working hand in hand with

0:05:55.190 --> 0:05:58.630
<v Speaker 3>the Genoveses, Lucchesis, and the Colombos, and guys.

0:05:58.430 --> 0:05:59.370
<v Speaker 8>Like my brother-in-law?

0:05:59.730 --> 0:06:01.070
<v Speaker 7>If they can help us save lives.

0:06:02.190 --> 0:06:04.060
<v Speaker 8>What the hell kind of optics are those, Mickey?

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 7>Fuck optics, Frank.

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:07.100
<v Speaker 8>You saying I should give him a free hand?

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 7>I'm saying we don't live in a black and white

0:06:08.820 --> 0:06:11.700
<v Speaker 7>world anymore. It's been gray since the towers came down.

0:06:12.220 --> 0:06:15.900
<v Speaker 11>Lieutenant Siriano, can you tell us.

0:06:15.900 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 10>About the condition of the survivors?

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.500
<v Speaker 3>Look, we don't know their exact condition.

0:06:20.490 --> 0:06:22.410
<v Speaker 8>Obviously, we hope to find other survivors.

0:06:22.830 --> 0:06:24.529
<v Speaker 11>Well, is it true that they wouldn't have been saved

0:06:24.570 --> 0:06:26.870
<v Speaker 11>if it hadn't been for the equipment brought in by

0:06:26.970 --> 0:06:28.470
<v Speaker 11>privately owned companies like.

0:06:28.550 --> 0:06:31.950
<v Speaker 3>We're getting help from wherever and whoever can provide it.

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.820
<v Speaker 11>Are you concerned that the companies may have links to

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:35.540
<v Speaker 11>organized crime?

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 8>There's no indication that they have any such links.

0:06:38.980 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 10>Can you guarantee that?

0:06:40.500 --> 0:06:43.180
<v Speaker 8>And the saving of lives remains our priority.

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 11>Does that mean you'll address the issues of organized crime

0:06:45.460 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 11>involvement only when you've exhausted the possibility of finding.

0:06:47.380 --> 0:06:47.620
<v Speaker 7>Break.

0:06:49.660 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>One of the rescue workers handed me a stuffed toy

0:06:52.060 --> 0:06:55.980
<v Speaker 3>he found in the rubble. It was partially burned, but

0:06:56.020 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 3>it had a tag around its neck with its owner's

0:06:59.050 --> 0:06:59.450
<v Speaker 3>name on it.

0:06:59.930 --> 0:07:01.410
<v Speaker 10>Can you tell us what the tag reads?

0:07:02.230 --> 0:07:02.770
<v Speaker 3>A little girl.

0:07:03.070 --> 0:07:07.609
<v Speaker 8>Look, I don't feel comfortable giving that sort of information...

0:07:08.610 --> 0:07:12.150
<v Speaker 8>But when you see something like this, you think about

0:07:12.590 --> 0:07:13.490
<v Speaker 8>your own children.

0:07:13.510 --> 0:07:16.420
<v Speaker 3>And it's only for the grace of God that.

0:07:18.980 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 8>No further comments, thank you.

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.340
<v Speaker 10>Is the mafia involved here? Is the child.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:23.730
<v Speaker 8>Still with us?

0:07:23.740 --> 0:07:27.660
<v Speaker 3>The day before, September 10th, seemed so long ago it

0:07:27.700 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 3>was like it belonged to another century. My son, Frank Jr.,

0:07:33.410 --> 0:07:37.170
<v Speaker 3>had a little league game. As usual, I was late

0:07:37.210 --> 0:07:42.540
<v Speaker 3>getting there. Frank was playing third. Joe Bianchi's son, my

0:07:42.620 --> 0:07:47.090
<v Speaker 3>nephew Nicky, was at the plate. Joe was watching from

0:07:47.150 --> 0:07:51.390
<v Speaker 3>foul territory near first base, like always. He'd been there

0:07:51.470 --> 0:07:56.170
<v Speaker 3>since before the first pitch, like always. Joe was never

0:07:56.210 --> 0:07:58.790
<v Speaker 3>late for anything, and there was never a hair out

0:07:58.830 --> 0:08:03.990
<v Speaker 3>of place. I pretended not to hear him. I walked

0:08:04.030 --> 0:08:05.390
<v Speaker 3>toward the seats behind home plate.

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes, I couldn't believe the guy. I mean, we grew

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.830
<v Speaker 4>up together. School at St. Ignatius. I was his best man,

0:08:14.910 --> 0:08:17.430
<v Speaker 4>and he was mine. We were brother-in-laws, for Christ's sake,

0:08:17.670 --> 0:08:20.350
<v Speaker 4>and he was making like he didn't know me. Frankie, hey!

0:08:22.650 --> 0:08:25.110
<v Speaker 3>Ignoring him drew the kind of attention I was trying

0:08:25.130 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 3>to avoid, so I walked over.

0:08:27.460 --> 0:08:28.660
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Joe.

0:08:29.540 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 10>Finally.

0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Joe. Maybe you thought I was, uh, tubercular or something.

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.470
<v Speaker 8>Optics, Joe. You know how it is.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 4>The kids are playing ball. That's how it is.

0:08:40.220 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 8>How's my sister?

0:08:42.500 --> 0:08:45.459
<v Speaker 4>My wife is fine. Thanks for asking.

0:08:47.980 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Nikki hit it hard on the ground, but Frankie stretched

0:08:51.100 --> 0:08:54.660
<v Speaker 3>out to his left, caught it, and threw him out.

0:08:55.140 --> 0:08:56.190
<v Speaker 4>That's all right, Nikki.

0:08:56.870 --> 0:08:58.089
<v Speaker 10>You hit it solid, buddy.

0:09:00.270 --> 0:09:03.410
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Frankie moves good, like you used to.

0:09:05.570 --> 0:09:08.730
<v Speaker 3>You still have that Derek Jeter glove Yeah, Nicky's using

0:09:08.770 --> 0:09:09.330
<v Speaker 3>it these days.

0:09:10.570 --> 0:09:12.710
<v Speaker 8>Your old man spent more on that glove than mine

0:09:12.730 --> 0:09:13.380
<v Speaker 8>made in a week.

0:09:14.820 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 4>Hey, well, that's the beauty of a cash business.

0:09:17.500 --> 0:09:17.780
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:09:20.100 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 4>So we invited Frankie to Nicky's birthday Saturday. I'm taking

0:09:23.660 --> 0:09:24.980
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of the kids to see the Mets.

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:25.900
<v Speaker 8>He can't make it.

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.290
<v Speaker 4>I'm getting him autographed pictures with the players.

0:09:28.429 --> 0:09:29.510
<v Speaker 8>I'm sure they'll have fun.

0:09:31.429 --> 0:09:32.890
<v Speaker 4>Why should your kid be left out?

0:09:33.590 --> 0:09:34.329
<v Speaker 8>He'll get over it.

0:09:34.890 --> 0:09:37.130
<v Speaker 4>It's just a fucking ball game, for Christ's sakes. What

0:09:37.170 --> 0:09:39.790
<v Speaker 4>do I tell Nicky when he asks why his best friend,

0:09:39.850 --> 0:09:42.179
<v Speaker 4>his own fucking cousin, won't be there? How do I

0:09:42.260 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 4>answer that?

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.660
<v Speaker 8>Like you always do, Joe. Take the fifth.

0:09:52.710 --> 0:09:57.450
<v Speaker 6>Command, I can send command. You copy? Conditions worsening on

0:09:57.510 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 6>the Vesey Street side of Building 7. Heavy fire showing

0:10:02.140 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 6>multiple floors.

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 8>Engine 10, read you.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.100
<v Speaker 11>Command, ladder 4.

0:10:12.690 --> 0:10:17.170
<v Speaker 3>Reports of structural damage and uncontrolled fires on numerous floors.

0:10:17.550 --> 0:10:18.430
<v Speaker 5>Windows popping out.

0:10:19.210 --> 0:10:20.209
<v Speaker 3>No water pressure up there.

0:10:20.270 --> 0:10:22.610
<v Speaker 6>Copy that, Ladder 4.

0:10:22.610 --> 0:10:24.590
<v Speaker 5>All units, maintain distance.

0:10:25.330 --> 0:10:26.190

0:10:26.190 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 5>Command, rest in one.

0:10:30.290 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>We're hearing.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.179
<v Speaker 5>There's noises... like shifting steel.

0:10:36.220 --> 0:10:37.380
<v Speaker 6>dropping... up a facade.

0:10:50.770 --> 0:10:50.970
<v Speaker 8>Eddie.

0:10:51.470 --> 0:10:52.189
<v Speaker 2>Where are you, Joe?

0:10:52.390 --> 0:10:53.670
<v Speaker 4>I'm booted on Richmond Avenue.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 7>Where you at?

0:10:54.290 --> 0:10:55.580
<v Speaker 2>I'm a few blocks from the pile.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 4>How'd it go with Frank, Eddie?

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Not great. He threw me out of his office. You

0:11:02.980 --> 0:11:03.500
<v Speaker 2>talk to Dip?

0:11:03.620 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but what did Frank say?

0:11:05.220 --> 0:11:08.780
<v Speaker 7>He won't give us nothing on the hiring list. Son

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:09.940
<v Speaker 7>of a bitch is playing hardball.

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.420
<v Speaker 8>We got all the leverage, but he's on fudge. What?

0:11:13.730 --> 0:11:16.429
<v Speaker 6>I'm on the phone.

0:11:16.470 --> 0:11:17.050
<v Speaker 7>We're breaking up.

0:11:17.790 --> 0:11:25.890
<v Speaker 3>I don't... Schools were closed because of the attack. Frank Jr.

0:11:25.929 --> 0:11:27.910
<v Speaker 3>went to his cousin Nikki's house to hang out.

0:11:28.770 --> 0:11:31.670
<v Speaker 2>I told him to be home by 4. He wasn't.

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:32.790
<v Speaker 1>Hey, honey.

0:11:33.500 --> 0:11:34.010
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Marie.

0:11:34.530 --> 0:11:35.120
<v Speaker 10>How you doing?

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.099
<v Speaker 7>You know, watching TV. It's crazy.

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.500
<v Speaker 3>Hey, tell Frankie to come home, will ya?

0:11:43.820 --> 0:11:45.540
<v Speaker 4>He's an altar boy for 5 o'clock mass.

0:11:46.740 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 7>Uh, he's not here, Connie.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 9>He left 15 minutes ago.

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:49.860
<v Speaker 5>What?

0:11:50.910 --> 0:11:52.130
<v Speaker 3>He should have been here by now.

0:11:53.470 --> 0:11:53.650
<v Speaker 5>Nikki!

0:11:53.690 --> 0:11:57.290
<v Speaker 10>Frankie went home, didn't he? Yeah, he had to do math.

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.100
<v Speaker 11>Connie, he left.

0:12:01.580 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 9>Maybe he, uh, I don't know, could have stopped at

0:12:04.780 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 9>Steve Fideli's or Tom Profita's.

0:12:08.220 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 6>Want me to have Nikki go look for him?

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.620
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, if he's not here in a couple minutes, yeah.

0:12:14.059 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 9>You know, I'm sure he's fine, honey. He's, uh, he's 12.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 10>Marie, he knew he had math.

0:12:20.179 --> 0:12:24.300
<v Speaker 7>He's never late. Just like his father. You talk to Frank?

0:12:25.140 --> 0:12:25.380
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:12:26.500 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 11>Honey, call him if you're worried.

0:12:28.260 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 4>He's got enough on his plate.

0:12:35.380 --> 0:12:38.679
<v Speaker 8>Engine 26, confirm conditions worsening in Building 7.

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:44.490
<v Speaker 5>Engine 26 moving south. Everyone on DC. Back it up now.

0:12:45.070 --> 0:12:48.589
<v Speaker 8>This is Command. Understood. Stand by for instructions.

0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.650
<v Speaker 5>Repeat, large cracks, visible mid-structure.

0:12:54.210 --> 0:12:55.470
<v Speaker 8>Command, ladder four again.

0:12:56.130 --> 0:12:58.069
<v Speaker 4>Corner column looks like it's bowing inward.

0:12:58.090 --> 0:13:00.170
<v Speaker 9>I don't like what I'm seeing.

0:13:00.610 --> 0:13:01.270
<v Speaker 10>Everybody out.

0:13:01.290 --> 0:13:02.470
<v Speaker 8>Let's get everybody out of there.

0:13:03.150 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 6>All units operating near the perimeter of building seven, prepare

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 6>to withdraw to a safe perimeter. This is precautionary.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 8>This is HQ. It is not precautionary. Withdraw now.

0:13:13.700 --> 0:13:16.020
<v Speaker 3>Say again?

0:13:16.590 --> 0:13:17.550
<v Speaker 6>Withdraw completely?

0:13:17.570 --> 0:13:18.190
<v Speaker 8>Affirmative.

0:13:18.900 --> 0:13:22.220

<v Speaker 5>Agent 26, moving south. Everyone on Bessie, back it up now.

0:13:36.790 --> 0:13:41.170
<v Speaker 4>Command, ladder 4. There's significant movement up top. Smoke pushing

0:13:41.230 --> 0:13:42.340
<v Speaker 4>hard from multiple floors.

0:13:43.179 --> 0:13:45.900
<v Speaker 6>More columns inside the building. Beginning to sag.

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 8>Jesus Christ.

0:13:47.230 --> 0:13:48.970
<v Speaker 11>Clear the area around Building 7 immediately.

0:13:48.990 --> 0:13:52.630
<v Speaker 4>Come here, metaphor. The entire top section is shifted.

0:13:52.750 --> 0:13:53.150
<v Speaker 8>Mr.

0:13:54.030 --> 0:13:55.270
<v Speaker 7>Regis came down on the street.

0:13:55.929 --> 0:13:57.190
<v Speaker 5>Everyone move!

0:13:57.309 --> 0:14:02.809
<v Speaker 11>Michael, there are klaxons outside Building 7. Firefighters and emergency

0:14:02.870 --> 0:14:04.630
<v Speaker 11>rescue personnel.

0:14:04.150 --> 0:14:06.260
<v Speaker 10>Are running out of the building.

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.940
<v Speaker 11>On the Bessie Street side, there seems to be... It.

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 10>Looks like the wall is... Bowing outward. And now....

0:14:22.390 --> 0:14:25.350
<v Speaker 11>Bill, building 70 is falling inward on itself.

0:14:25.430 --> 0:14:26.130
<v Speaker 10>Is Frankie here?

0:14:26.990 --> 0:14:27.230
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:14:27.650 --> 0:14:29.390
<v Speaker 10>Nikki didn't find him. All right, well, none of the

0:14:29.430 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 10>kids have seen him.

0:14:30.750 --> 0:14:32.980
<v Speaker 8>Oh, God, Marie.

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.340
<v Speaker 7>Where could he be? All right, honey, just take a

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:37.460
<v Speaker 7>deep breath.

0:14:41.260 --> 0:14:41.620
<v Speaker 8>Hello?

0:14:42.180 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 5>Connie.

0:14:44.390 --> 0:14:45.870
<v Speaker 8>Building 7 just came down.

0:14:46.110 --> 0:14:47.470
<v Speaker 7>I know. We're watching.

0:14:48.530 --> 0:14:49.010
<v Speaker 8>Who's we?

0:14:49.330 --> 0:14:50.130
<v Speaker 4>Me and your sister.

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:52.140
<v Speaker 8>What's she doing there?

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:53.580
<v Speaker 7>She came over is all.

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:54.220
<v Speaker 8>You okay?

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:57.020
<v Speaker 5>Frank.

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Over in the pile, they found this stuffed toy.

0:15:02.940 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 8>Little toy with a tag on it. We traced it.

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.190
<v Speaker 8>The girl who owned it was on one of the planes.

0:15:11.710 --> 0:15:12.700
<v Speaker 4>We haven't found her.

0:15:14.170 --> 0:15:14.790
<v Speaker 5>Oh, honey.

0:15:16.270 --> 0:15:17.190
<v Speaker 8>Let me talk to Frankie.

0:15:20.650 --> 0:15:20.850
<v Speaker 7>Connie.

0:15:20.870 --> 0:15:21.670
<v Speaker 5>He's not here.

0:15:23.250 --> 0:15:25.210
<v Speaker 8>Oh, yeah, he had a mask, didn't he?

0:15:25.250 --> 0:15:26.090
<v Speaker 5>He's not a mask.

0:15:28.570 --> 0:15:33.510
<v Speaker 8>Where is he? Connie, where's Frankie? I don't know. What

0:15:33.530 --> 0:15:34.510
<v Speaker 8>do you mean you don't know?

0:15:34.530 --> 0:15:35.590
<v Speaker 10>I don't know, Frank.

0:15:38.410 --> 0:15:40.930
<v Speaker 8>Well, well, call me when he gets there.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:44.780
<v Speaker 6>That's all you have to say.

0:15:45.620 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 8>What do you want me to do?

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:47.380
<v Speaker 3>Help me find him.

0:15:47.420 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 8>You mean leave work?

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, leave work.

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 8>I can't. We need every officer available.

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 5>The hell with your other officers.

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.930
<v Speaker 7>I'm talking about you and your son.

0:15:57.030 --> 0:15:57.910
<v Speaker 8>I can't leave.

0:15:58.510 --> 0:16:00.970
<v Speaker 3>I got God knows how many people who may be dying,

0:16:01.010 --> 0:16:02.090
<v Speaker 3>and they're people's sons, too.

0:16:02.110 --> 0:16:02.490
<v Speaker 7>I know.

0:16:02.610 --> 0:16:03.530
<v Speaker 10>They're important.

0:16:05.050 --> 0:16:06.090
<v Speaker 6>They're more important than us.

0:16:08.990 --> 0:16:10.100
<v Speaker 7>Connie's talking to Frank now.

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:11.540
<v Speaker 4>And what's he say?

0:16:12.220 --> 0:16:12.500
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

0:16:13.350 --> 0:16:13.830
<v Speaker 7>I'm outside.

0:16:14.130 --> 0:16:16.130
<v Speaker 4>How am I supposed to know where Frankie is?

0:16:18.290 --> 0:16:21.970
<v Speaker 7>You know everything that goes on around here. Well, all

0:16:21.990 --> 0:16:23.500
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden your nephew goes missing and you got

0:16:23.530 --> 0:16:24.050
<v Speaker 7>no idea?

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.380
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to talk to Joe.

0:16:29.540 --> 0:16:32.150
<v Speaker 7>What does Joe have to do with it?

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Why are you asking me?

0:16:36.460 --> 0:16:39.700
<v Speaker 10>I've been watching TV, Joe, ever since the towers came down.

0:16:40.530 --> 0:16:42.430
<v Speaker 11>I mean, they've been talking about the family's involvement in

0:16:42.490 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 11>rescue operations. I mean, come on, Frank's running rescue operations.

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.260
<v Speaker 10>I'm not an idiot.

0:16:48.980 --> 0:16:50.380
<v Speaker 4>Frank's calling. I'll call you back.

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 7>You better call me back.

0:16:52.140 --> 0:16:53.100
<v Speaker 4>I said I'll call you.

0:16:53.140 --> 0:16:53.620
<v Speaker 8>I'll call you.

0:16:59.270 --> 0:17:01.150
<v Speaker 3>I knew a bar in Park Slope where Joe and

0:17:01.190 --> 0:17:04.790
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't be recognized. By the time I got there,

0:17:04.950 --> 0:17:08.270
<v Speaker 3>it was almost dark. Joe was already there.

0:17:09.540 --> 0:17:12.820
<v Speaker 4>How many of your people did you lose?

0:17:12.820 --> 0:17:19.869
<v Speaker 3>37 police officers, around 200 firefighters, six paramedics. That's the

0:17:19.910 --> 0:17:20.670
<v Speaker 3>count so far.

0:17:21.550 --> 0:17:26.190
<v Speaker 4>Jesus Christ. How do you think it'll come out? Think

0:17:26.230 --> 0:17:28.430
<v Speaker 4>they'll find the ragheads who ordered the whole thing?

0:17:28.450 --> 0:17:29.550
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

0:17:30.850 --> 0:17:34.730
<v Speaker 3>We're looking for the black boxes from the planes. I

0:17:34.770 --> 0:17:37.340
<v Speaker 3>decided I wasn't going to say anything about Frankie until

0:17:37.380 --> 0:17:37.709
<v Speaker 3>Joe did.

0:17:39.869 --> 0:17:40.950
<v Speaker 4>Well, how's things otherwise?

0:17:42.330 --> 0:17:42.850
<v Speaker 8>What do you mean?

0:17:43.590 --> 0:17:45.830
<v Speaker 4>Everything else. Connie, the job.

0:17:46.170 --> 0:17:51.750
<v Speaker 8>Connie and the job? Holding it together? Marie?

0:17:52.670 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 4>It's not easy, your sister. I told you.

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 8>I told you at your bachelor party.

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.660
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, guess I didn't hear you. I was wearing that

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.020
<v Speaker 4>hooker's legs for earmuffs.

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:04.820
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:18:10.570 --> 0:18:11.910
<v Speaker 8>Marie still love you, you think?

0:18:12.530 --> 0:18:14.850
<v Speaker 4>Let's put it this way. I try to keep her

0:18:14.890 --> 0:18:16.449
<v Speaker 4>disappointments to a minimum.

0:18:17.510 --> 0:18:18.950
<v Speaker 8>So she'd miss you if you were gone?

0:18:19.109 --> 0:18:21.070
<v Speaker 4>About as much as Connie would miss you. But I'm

0:18:21.109 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 4>not going anywhere, Frank.

0:18:24.100 --> 0:18:25.179
<v Speaker 8>You mean if you can help her?

0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I can help her. In spite of your best efforts.

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 4>How far are you prepared to go?

0:18:35.780 --> 0:18:37.030
<v Speaker 8>Depends how far you are.

0:18:37.740 --> 0:18:39.830
<v Speaker 4>Would you be willing to see your family go to pieces?

0:18:41.060 --> 0:18:42.340
<v Speaker 8>Some ways it already has.

0:18:44.980 --> 0:18:47.820
<v Speaker 4>We started in the same place, for everything that's changed.

0:18:48.540 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 4>We're not that different after all.

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:51.379
<v Speaker 8>Sure we are.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.420
<v Speaker 3>And if we're trapped doing what we're doing, it's because

0:18:55.460 --> 0:18:56.310
<v Speaker 3>we chose to be.

0:18:57.609 --> 0:18:57.929
<v Speaker 10>Meaning?

0:18:59.350 --> 0:19:01.910
<v Speaker 3>Meaning if it comes down to seeing our lives collapse

0:19:01.950 --> 0:19:06.510
<v Speaker 3>like the towers, then we will. Because it's who we are.

0:19:08.369 --> 0:19:09.149
<v Speaker 7>Is that a warning?

0:19:17.310 --> 0:19:19.370
<v Speaker 8>Connie, is Frankie back?

0:19:20.330 --> 0:19:21.100
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, he's back.

0:19:21.130 --> 0:19:21.880
<v Speaker 8>He's fine.

0:19:21.890 --> 0:19:22.379
<v Speaker 2>He's okay.

0:19:23.020 --> 0:19:23.220
<v Speaker 7>Good.

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 3>He said he went to Gino's for a slice.

0:19:26.900 --> 0:19:27.660
<v Speaker 4>Said he went with a girl.

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:29.419
<v Speaker 11>But he wouldn't tell.

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Me her name.

0:19:30.830 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 8>You believe him?

0:19:32.210 --> 0:19:32.690
<v Speaker 11>I don't know.

0:19:33.510 --> 0:19:34.649
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not going to make a thing of it.

0:19:35.830 --> 0:19:36.270
<v Speaker 8>How come?

0:19:37.390 --> 0:19:38.110
<v Speaker 5>Because you didn't.

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.710
<v Speaker 3>Joe and I stared at each other. Could have been

0:19:47.710 --> 0:19:52.050
<v Speaker 3>10 seconds or maybe an hour. His eyes gave me nothing.

0:19:53.350 --> 0:19:55.830
<v Speaker 3>The world we were brought up in, you don't mess

0:19:55.869 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 3>with a man's family. But we weren't part of the

0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 3>same world anymore. And we never would be again.
