WEBVTT - Chapter Two

0:00:00.500 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>This series is based on the real events of 9-11. However, names, incidents, locations,

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:10.100
<v Speaker 1>and dialogue have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes. This series

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.570
<v Speaker 1>contains strong language and profanity, and scenes that some listeners

0:00:13.670 --> 0:00:14.510
<v Speaker 1>could find disturbing.

0:00:14.530 --> 0:00:21.150
<v Speaker 2>Tracy, how are you holding up?

0:00:21.190 --> 0:00:23.250
<v Speaker 1>What's the latest from down there on the scene?

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.700
<v Speaker 3>Well, Michael, lower Manhattan's a war zone. I mean, there's

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.220
<v Speaker 3>no other way to describe it right now. We can't

0:00:29.260 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 3>begin to imagine how many people are dead or, unfortunately, dying,

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.460
<v Speaker 3>even as rescue teams have begun searching for survivors in

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 3>the twisted metal and crushed concrete that less than an

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.900
<v Speaker 3>hour ago stood as among the most recognizable buildings in

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:44.420
<v Speaker 3>the world.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.870
<v Speaker 4>This is K-9 Unit 401.

0:00:49.870 --> 0:00:52.330
<v Speaker 5>We just found a woman pinned under the girder. She's

0:00:52.390 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 5>not moving. Ma'am, miss, can you hear me?

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Still no movement. Can you hear me?

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:05.740
<v Speaker 5>She's dead, Mike.

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 6>No, wait, wait.

0:01:10.500 --> 0:01:15.190
<v Speaker 5>Help me.

0:01:15.530 --> 0:01:16.130
<v Speaker 4>Jesus Christ.

0:01:16.550 --> 0:01:19.110
<v Speaker 5>I'm calling in. Call in. We're here, ma'am. You hang

0:01:19.170 --> 0:01:19.429
<v Speaker 5>in there.

0:01:19.709 --> 0:01:20.410
<v Speaker 6>We're coming to get you.

0:01:21.310 --> 0:01:22.289
<v Speaker 5>Tommy, help me with this.

0:01:24.410 --> 0:01:27.910
<v Speaker 3>Moments ago, Mayor Giuliani was on scene, his suit covered

0:01:27.950 --> 0:01:31.030
<v Speaker 3>with dust, and he issued a statement of support and encouragement.

0:01:33.270 --> 0:01:36.390
<v Speaker 4>What's your name, honey? Take it easy. We don't got

0:01:36.430 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 4>any mess, but we're gonna get you from out of

0:01:37.860 --> 0:01:41.220
<v Speaker 4>this girder, alright? What's your name?

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:42.940
<v Speaker 5>Carol.

0:01:43.860 --> 0:01:44.420
<v Speaker 4>I'm Tommy.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 5>This is Mike.

0:01:45.660 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 7>You're gonna make it, Carol. We're all gonna get out

0:01:48.740 --> 0:01:49.700
<v Speaker 7>of here, okay? Okay.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:59.900
<v Speaker 5>Okay. God, those girders are falling!

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 6>Tomorrow, New York is going to be here.

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 8>And we're going to rebuild, and we're going to be

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 8>stronger than we were before. An example to the rest

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.740
<v Speaker 8>of the country and the rest of the world.

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.100
<v Speaker 9>I'm Frank Sturiano, formerly of the New York City Police Department.

0:02:21.169 --> 0:02:22.990
<v Speaker 9>Think you know the whole story of 9-11?

0:02:23.770 --> 0:02:24.109
<v Speaker 7>You don't.

0:02:25.030 --> 0:02:29.619
<v Speaker 9>This is Underground Zero. This is my story of how

0:02:29.660 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 9>we took on the mob.

0:02:34.180 --> 0:02:38.350
<v Speaker 5>Come on, what's this guy doing? I spent the night

0:02:38.389 --> 0:02:41.769
<v Speaker 5>before 9-11 with Jan and my gumata. She ran the

0:02:41.810 --> 0:02:45.590
<v Speaker 5>service department at a Cadillac dealership in Queens, which was

0:02:45.650 --> 0:02:47.630
<v Speaker 5>convenient when my wife had to bring the car in.

0:02:49.210 --> 0:02:51.750
<v Speaker 5>Marie never asked why she always got pumped to the

0:02:51.790 --> 0:02:54.130
<v Speaker 5>head of the line. I think she thought it was

0:02:54.150 --> 0:02:57.790
<v Speaker 5>just because I owned a piece of the dealership. An

0:02:57.830 --> 0:03:02.290
<v Speaker 5>hour after the towers fell, I got the call. At noon,

0:03:02.389 --> 0:03:05.210
<v Speaker 5>be at the Brewster Hunt and Fish Club on Richmond Avenue.

0:03:04.950 --> 0:03:07.690
<v Speaker 10>In Staten Island.

0:03:07.730 --> 0:03:11.510
<v Speaker 5>The club belonged to us, the Genovese family. And it

0:03:11.570 --> 0:03:14.390
<v Speaker 5>wasn't for hunting and fishing. It's weird we go to

0:03:14.430 --> 0:03:16.970
<v Speaker 5>grab a drink if things were good, have a sit-down

0:03:17.030 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 5>if they weren't, and pay our tributes to the boss,

0:03:20.190 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 5>Salvi Dip DiPietro. At noon exact, Dip brought the meeting

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 5>to order. He did everything exact.

0:03:29.820 --> 0:03:30.700
<v Speaker 4>All right, thank you.

0:03:32.700 --> 0:03:36.340
<v Speaker 10>On behalf of the Genovese family, I want to welcome

0:03:36.380 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 10>the Giminos, the Lucchesis, in the back over there, in

0:03:39.740 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 10>the back, all the way to the back, the Columbo's.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.990
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay? We all know who we are, and we

0:03:46.030 --> 0:03:47.870
<v Speaker 4>all know why we're here, so.

0:03:48.390 --> 0:03:49.930
<v Speaker 5>Dip was a Marine of Vietnam.

0:03:49.970 --> 0:03:51.270
<v Speaker 4>Let's get ready to do some business, man.

0:03:51.310 --> 0:03:53.930
<v Speaker 5>On a Bronze Star. If he loved anything as much

0:03:53.990 --> 0:03:57.010
<v Speaker 5>as his family, it was his country. He spilled blood

0:03:57.060 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 5>for both. Some of it his.

0:03:59.750 --> 0:04:03.580
<v Speaker 4>Look, it's a... It's a fucking outrage what these ragheads

0:04:03.620 --> 0:04:05.100
<v Speaker 4>done to us. Okay?

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.740
<v Speaker 10>If they weren't dead already, I'd get my fucking uniform

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 10>out of Mort Ball's seven of their fucking hands and

0:04:11.980 --> 0:04:12.900
<v Speaker 10>shit on their throats.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay? Now you know why I stand with that.

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.110
<v Speaker 11>Okay, representatives of the NYPD, the NYFD.

0:04:23.210 --> 0:04:26.870
<v Speaker 9>As a lieutenant commander in the NYPD, I helped run

0:04:26.910 --> 0:04:29.310
<v Speaker 9>the city's cleanup operation out of what had been a

0:04:29.370 --> 0:04:32.210
<v Speaker 9>Burger King on Liberty Street, a few blocks away from

0:04:32.250 --> 0:04:32.610
<v Speaker 9>the towers.

0:04:32.630 --> 0:04:36.820
<v Speaker 11>We are here to save lives. There's almost two million

0:04:36.900 --> 0:04:40.220
<v Speaker 11>tons of rubble where the towers used to be. We're

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 11>going to sift through every ounce of it, and we

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:46.460
<v Speaker 11>won't stop for however long it takes until every possibility

0:04:46.550 --> 0:04:49.370
<v Speaker 11>of finding survivors has been exhausted.

0:04:55.029 --> 0:04:55.409
<v Speaker 4>Carol.

0:05:00.350 --> 0:05:00.950
<v Speaker 7>Can you hear me?

0:05:02.990 --> 0:05:03.450
<v Speaker 4>I'm here.

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.100
<v Speaker 1>Mike!

0:05:12.710 --> 0:05:13.110
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:05:13.130 --> 0:05:15.779
<v Speaker 7>Oh, Jesus.

0:05:17.900 --> 0:05:18.620
<v Speaker 5>The dog's dead.

0:05:19.900 --> 0:05:24.659
<v Speaker 10>The Trade Center's on Genovese territory. But we're going to

0:05:24.700 --> 0:05:28.410
<v Speaker 10>divvy it up amongst us. Joe Bianchi's going to plant

0:05:28.430 --> 0:05:30.430
<v Speaker 10>the Genovese flag. I know you all know Joey.

0:05:30.450 --> 0:05:30.789
<v Speaker 4>Come here.

0:05:30.810 --> 0:05:31.090
<v Speaker 6>Come here.

0:05:32.650 --> 0:05:33.830
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead. Tell them what you're.

0:05:33.650 --> 0:05:33.990
<v Speaker 7>Going to say.

0:05:35.089 --> 0:05:41.700
<v Speaker 5>Okay. Well, thanks, Tim. High-grade steel, copper, manganese. The city's

0:05:41.750 --> 0:05:44.350
<v Speaker 5>got no way to cart it out of here. They

0:05:44.370 --> 0:05:48.909
<v Speaker 5>don't have the equipment, the trucks. They got nothing. We do.

0:05:49.650 --> 0:05:52.690
<v Speaker 5>The debris's supposed to go to Fresh Kills Landfill, the

0:05:52.750 --> 0:05:57.310
<v Speaker 5>city-owned salvage yard on Staten Island. And some of it will.

0:05:59.350 --> 0:06:02.289
<v Speaker 5>But most of it will go to the yards we control.

0:06:02.990 --> 0:06:05.409
<v Speaker 5>And from there, we're going to sell it all over

0:06:05.430 --> 0:06:05.830
<v Speaker 5>the world.

0:06:06.170 --> 0:06:06.370
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

0:06:09.410 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 11>We'll protect evidence that could tell us who the perpetrators

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.940
<v Speaker 11>were and how they managed to take control of the planes.

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 11>That means finding the black boxes from both aircraft. And

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.950
<v Speaker 11>we'll preserve human remains so we can provide emotional closure

0:06:25.430 --> 0:06:27.469
<v Speaker 11>to the victims and their families.

0:06:28.810 --> 0:06:31.850
<v Speaker 5>Now, once we get the material to our yards, we

0:06:31.970 --> 0:06:35.330
<v Speaker 5>separate out what's valuable when it comes to body parts.

0:06:36.050 --> 0:06:40.210
<v Speaker 5>In my opinion, hands mean more than heads. Hands have fingers.

0:06:40.630 --> 0:06:43.830
<v Speaker 5>Fingers have rings. Gold, platinum, diamonds.

0:06:45.740 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 7>What's that?

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 6>What's that, Tommy?

0:06:53.740 --> 0:06:54.140
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:57.230
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:06:59.089 --> 0:07:02.089
<v Speaker 5>We're going to inundate city officials with fake time and

0:07:02.130 --> 0:07:05.630
<v Speaker 5>material tickets. And these guys will have no choice but

0:07:05.670 --> 0:07:08.310
<v Speaker 5>to do business with us because we're the only game

0:07:08.380 --> 0:07:12.420
<v Speaker 5>in town. We got the city by the fucking ball.

0:07:13.300 --> 0:07:19.500
<v Speaker 5>And the time to squeeze is now. Dip, anything else

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 5>to say?

0:07:19.900 --> 0:07:21.500
<v Speaker 4>Use your head.

0:07:21.660 --> 0:07:26.330
<v Speaker 10>Don't be fucking greedy. We're in this together. The more

0:07:26.350 --> 0:07:28.750
<v Speaker 10>we pull together, the more we make. Each family puts

0:07:28.790 --> 0:07:29.850
<v Speaker 10>more money in their pockets.

0:07:30.710 --> 0:07:31.929
<v Speaker 7>This is dangerous work.

0:07:32.790 --> 0:07:35.150
<v Speaker 9>But nothing we do for as long as we live

0:07:35.170 --> 0:07:36.230
<v Speaker 9>will be more important.

0:07:37.130 --> 0:07:38.030
<v Speaker 4>I wish you good luck.

0:07:39.030 --> 0:07:39.630
<v Speaker 5>Stay safe.

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.070
<v Speaker 7>And God bless America.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.340
<v Speaker 5>After the meeting, I had a private sit-down with Dip.

0:07:53.090 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 5>Every week, we had the club swept for NYPD and

0:07:56.820 --> 0:07:59.860
<v Speaker 5>FBI bugs. But you can never be sure. Meeting in

0:07:59.900 --> 0:08:04.460
<v Speaker 5>cars was safer. Okay. We got blueprints from the city

0:08:04.500 --> 0:08:09.910
<v Speaker 5>planner's office. Tunnels below building four. Stargate Construction, late part

0:08:09.950 --> 0:08:11.470
<v Speaker 5>of the foundation. Stargate?

0:08:12.410 --> 0:08:15.550
<v Speaker 4>That's Carmine Albano's outfit. What's in the tunnels?

0:08:16.110 --> 0:08:19.010
<v Speaker 5>Gold bars, silver ingots. My guy says it could be

0:08:19.030 --> 0:08:20.270
<v Speaker 5>worth half a billion.

0:08:22.110 --> 0:08:23.490
<v Speaker 4>Okay, we gotta protect that.

0:08:23.510 --> 0:08:27.230
<v Speaker 5>Holy shit. We're looking at the opportunity of a lifetime

0:08:27.330 --> 0:08:29.410
<v Speaker 5>for us and the other families.

0:08:31.550 --> 0:08:35.540
<v Speaker 4>The other families? You know what? Fuck them. This is

0:08:35.580 --> 0:08:38.580
<v Speaker 4>Genovese fucking turf, my friend. We get it all.

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.220
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, we still may have to give a taste to

0:08:41.500 --> 0:08:42.819
<v Speaker 5>our friends over at City Hall.

0:08:43.340 --> 0:08:47.589
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's an investment in future cooperation now, right? I

0:08:47.630 --> 0:08:48.370
<v Speaker 4>don't want one.

0:08:48.330 --> 0:08:51.429
<v Speaker 10>Fucking cent going to them guinea hoods in Brooklyn or Queens.

0:08:56.390 --> 0:08:57.470
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like they're getting closer.

0:08:58.470 --> 0:09:05.260
<v Speaker 5>That's because they are. If this is it. Carol, we're

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:05.980
<v Speaker 5>going to get out of here.

0:09:13.670 --> 0:09:15.050
<v Speaker 7>Frank, what is it, Phil?

0:09:16.550 --> 0:09:19.130
<v Speaker 2>There are explosions going off under the North Tower. Looks

0:09:19.150 --> 0:09:21.750
<v Speaker 2>like they're coming from vehicles and the parking structure. And

0:09:21.809 --> 0:09:24.430
<v Speaker 2>the engineers are saying the structural integrity of Building 7

0:09:24.429 --> 0:09:25.270
<v Speaker 2>could be compromised.

0:09:25.290 --> 0:09:26.310
<v Speaker 7>What's his life expectancy?

0:09:26.330 --> 0:09:29.150
<v Speaker 2>Well, nobody knows, but this isn't helping.

0:09:30.730 --> 0:09:33.319
<v Speaker 7>How many vehicles are down there? As many as a thousand.

0:09:33.340 --> 0:09:34.980
<v Speaker 2>If you figure each of them has an average of

0:09:35.420 --> 0:09:36.580
<v Speaker 2>five gallons of gas.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.179
<v Speaker 7>A thousand Molotov cocktails on wheels.

0:09:42.420 --> 0:09:45.940
<v Speaker 2>Frank, our rescue people are still hearing voices under the rubble,

0:09:45.980 --> 0:09:48.550
<v Speaker 2>but those survivors are running out of time. I.

0:09:51.700 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 9>If I suspend rescue operations, we save the first responders.

0:09:56.300 --> 0:09:59.390
<v Speaker 7>But we'd have no one searching for victims. Yeah.

0:10:01.170 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 9>If the rescues continue in Building 7 Falls, we.

0:10:05.340 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 7>Could lose everyone.

0:10:06.780 --> 0:10:07.860
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty much it, Frank.

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.380
<v Speaker 7>Responders and victims. How long would we have to stop work?

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.980
<v Speaker 2>Long enough to douse those vehicles with retardant. So we're

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.790
<v Speaker 2>looking at probably between four and six hours, probably.

0:10:26.490 --> 0:10:30.550
<v Speaker 5>One of our salvage yards was in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Consolidated carting.

0:10:32.670 --> 0:10:35.030
<v Speaker 5>We had trucks gassed up for what looked like a mile.

0:10:35.980 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 5>What used to carry trash from damn near every restaurant

0:10:38.820 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 5>and construction site in the city was going to carry

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.320
<v Speaker 5>off the debris from the towers. And the construction union VP,

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Eddie Bernstein, was on our path.

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.260
<v Speaker 4>Pretty sight, ain't it, Joe?

0:10:51.100 --> 0:10:55.239
<v Speaker 5>Lots of cha-ching, Eddie. Dip expects you to take your

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.780
<v Speaker 5>usual piece of the no-bids?

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.500
<v Speaker 6>This ain't a usual situation.

0:11:03.150 --> 0:11:05.180
<v Speaker 5>You're not thinking of taking advantage now, are you? Joe,

0:11:05.190 --> 0:11:07.170
<v Speaker 5>how long you and me know each other? You won't

0:11:07.210 --> 0:11:12.810
<v Speaker 5>be considering fucking us. Whatever. I ain't no reader of mine.

0:11:12.870 --> 0:11:14.890
<v Speaker 5>Just tell your boys. They get greedy, it's going to

0:11:14.929 --> 0:11:15.630
<v Speaker 5>reflect on you.

0:11:15.650 --> 0:11:21.489
<v Speaker 6>You know, it hurts you feel you got to say it.

0:11:22.059 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 5>It'll hurt worse if I gotta say it again. And

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.179
<v Speaker 5>one more thing, on all these trucks, I want American

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 5>flags flying. As many as you can find.

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:31.070
<v Speaker 6>For what?

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:41.030
<v Speaker 5>Just see that they're fucking waving it. That's it.

0:11:41.790 --> 0:11:45.290
<v Speaker 8>So although there hasn't been an official announcement, we have

0:11:45.390 --> 0:11:48.309
<v Speaker 8>learned that search and rescue operations at the World Trade

0:11:48.330 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 8>Center site have been suspended.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 2>For more on that, let's.

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Go to Tracy Marquez on the scene.

0:11:55.620 --> 0:11:55.940
<v Speaker 7>Tracy?

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.940
<v Speaker 3>Michael, apparently there are vehicles in the parking structure beneath

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.140
<v Speaker 3>a debris field known as the pile, and the gasoline

0:12:03.220 --> 0:12:05.950
<v Speaker 3>in those vehicles has begun to explode because of the

0:12:05.990 --> 0:12:09.810
<v Speaker 3>intense heat, causing a serious risk to possible survivors and

0:12:09.850 --> 0:12:10.650
<v Speaker 3>first responders.

0:12:15.309 --> 0:12:19.710
<v Speaker 2>Carol, they're saying I have to go.

0:12:23.929 --> 0:12:24.809
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to leave you.

0:12:27.450 --> 0:12:28.130
<v Speaker 5>I just want.

0:12:31.690 --> 0:12:33.110
<v Speaker 7>I need a priest.

0:12:36.610 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 6>Even if I could find one, I.

0:12:37.710 --> 0:12:41.910
<v Speaker 2>I want the last rites. Don't let me die without them.

0:12:47.250 --> 0:12:48.060
<v Speaker 7>Let me see what I can do.

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.660
<v Speaker 9>I knew Mickey Cronin had my back in dealing with

0:12:56.700 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 9>the press. The best lesson I learned from him was,

0:13:00.380 --> 0:13:04.350
<v Speaker 9>don't lie. Reporters can smell it like Pervolone.

0:13:04.429 --> 0:13:06.510
<v Speaker 7>And they'll make it a meal you'll choke on.

0:13:08.530 --> 0:13:10.180
<v Speaker 2>Frank, in deciding to.

0:13:10.190 --> 0:13:12.110
<v Speaker 7>It's Lieutenant Commander Sturiano.

0:13:12.850 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, Lieutenant Commander Sturiano. In deciding to suspend search and

0:13:17.540 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>rescue operations, did you consult Detective Cronin?

0:13:20.780 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 5>No, I didn't.

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Why not?

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.290
<v Speaker 6>Okay, let me take this one. Lieutenant Sturiano's in charge,

0:13:26.390 --> 0:13:28.890
<v Speaker 6>but if he had consulted me, I would have concurred.

0:13:29.490 --> 0:13:30.790
<v Speaker 6>He's doing the job right.

0:13:31.130 --> 0:13:34.540
<v Speaker 8>Lieutenant Sturiano, you were responsible for vetting companies that have

0:13:34.580 --> 0:13:38.500
<v Speaker 8>applied for city contracts, but may have connections to organized crime.

0:13:38.780 --> 0:13:40.939
<v Speaker 8>Many of them are construction and cartage companies.

0:13:42.190 --> 0:13:43.910
<v Speaker 7>Is there a question buried in there?

0:13:44.490 --> 0:13:46.870
<v Speaker 8>We hear that some of those same companies have been

0:13:46.910 --> 0:13:49.590
<v Speaker 8>allowed by the city to carry away the Trade Center debris.

0:13:49.929 --> 0:13:52.209
<v Speaker 8>Aren't you putting the Fox in charge of the henhouse?

0:13:52.590 --> 0:13:54.809
<v Speaker 8>And are the city's resources so minimal that you can't.

0:13:54.830 --> 0:13:57.930
<v Speaker 6>Hold it right there. There are still people trapped under

0:13:57.950 --> 0:13:58.390
<v Speaker 6>the rubble.

0:13:59.070 --> 0:14:01.170
<v Speaker 4>And we need every hand on deck to find them.

0:14:01.870 --> 0:14:05.100
<v Speaker 6>As far as Lieutenant Scoriano's judgment and morality are concerned,

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.750
<v Speaker 6>I can attest to both. And I can assure the

0:14:07.830 --> 0:14:09.630
<v Speaker 6>people of New York, he is.

0:14:09.590 --> 0:14:11.929
<v Speaker 4>The fox in charge of this house.

0:14:17.650 --> 0:14:18.230
<v Speaker 7>Thanks, Mickey.

0:14:19.210 --> 0:14:19.750
<v Speaker 5>What did I do?

0:14:21.390 --> 0:14:24.910
<v Speaker 7>It's what you said to the reporters. You didn't have to,

0:14:25.230 --> 0:14:29.620
<v Speaker 7>and I just... I picked the right godfather for Frank Jr.

0:14:30.220 --> 0:14:30.670
<v Speaker 5>I meant it.

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:32.060
<v Speaker 7>On one hand.

0:14:33.300 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 6>On the other, it was unadulterated bullshit. But at least

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 6>it was bullshit coming from me and not you.

0:14:38.620 --> 0:14:39.140
<v Speaker 7>Meaning what?

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 6>Those wise guys own the trucks, the Gambinos, the KZs.

0:14:42.460 --> 0:14:46.230
<v Speaker 9>They're not just wise guys, Mickey. One of them's Joe Bianchi.

0:14:46.270 --> 0:14:47.210
<v Speaker 9>He's my brother-in-law.

0:14:47.350 --> 0:14:49.690
<v Speaker 6>No one could blame you for who your sister married.

0:14:50.570 --> 0:14:52.350
<v Speaker 6>We both know if we're going to save anyone, we

0:14:52.390 --> 0:14:54.510
<v Speaker 6>got to do what we got to do. As far

0:14:54.530 --> 0:14:57.690
<v Speaker 6>as I'm concerned, one life's worth more than a hundred

0:14:57.770 --> 0:14:59.110
<v Speaker 6>fucking no-bid contracts.

0:14:59.990 --> 0:15:00.310
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:15:01.990 --> 0:15:02.530
<v Speaker 6>Now go home.

0:15:03.510 --> 0:15:03.730
<v Speaker 7>What?

0:15:04.370 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Take a shower. Have Connie pack you a bag. You're

0:15:07.660 --> 0:15:09.410
<v Speaker 6>going to be here a while. And they're ready to

0:15:09.490 --> 0:15:11.550
<v Speaker 6>dry cleaners working from here to Long Island City.

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.340
<v Speaker 5>As our trucks made their way to the Trade Center,

0:15:36.900 --> 0:15:42.970
<v Speaker 5>you never saw so many American flags. There must have

0:15:42.990 --> 0:15:46.830
<v Speaker 5>been 2,000 people lined up on the sidewalks, cheering like

0:15:46.870 --> 0:15:50.510
<v Speaker 5>the Fourth of July. And I'm like, we're about to

0:15:50.530 --> 0:15:54.110
<v Speaker 5>steal the city blind, and these dumb bastards think we're heroes.

0:16:00.250 --> 0:16:00.690
<v Speaker 5>Good evening.

0:16:02.030 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 12>Today, our fellow citizens Our way of life, our very

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 12>freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.820
<v Speaker 12>deadly terrorist acts. These acts of mass murder were intended

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.220
<v Speaker 12>to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 7>But they have failed.

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 12>America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.940
<v Speaker 12>for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.110
<v Speaker 12>will keep that light from shining.

0:16:37.940 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 9>Like Mickey said, I went home and showered. Connie packed

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 9>some shirts, socks, underwear, and my other two brown suits.

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 13>When do you think you'll come home again?

0:16:50.230 --> 0:16:51.290
<v Speaker 4>When I run out of shorts.

0:16:52.770 --> 0:16:54.070
<v Speaker 7>Looks horrible on TV.

0:16:55.410 --> 0:16:56.490
<v Speaker 13>What's going on down there?

0:16:58.770 --> 0:17:04.930
<v Speaker 9>TV doesn't begin to. Right before the towers went down,

0:17:04.970 --> 0:17:08.950
<v Speaker 9>there were things I'll never... Get out of my mind.

0:17:11.350 --> 0:17:12.330
<v Speaker 13>You mean people jumping?

0:17:13.690 --> 0:17:17.340
<v Speaker 5>That what you mean? Is that what you mean?

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.419
<v Speaker 7>I'm trying to spare you, Connie.

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 13>I don't want to be spared.

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:21.740
<v Speaker 6>I want to be included.

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 13>If that's what you're going through, I want to be

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:24.859
<v Speaker 13>a part of it.

0:17:25.300 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 12>Otherwise.

0:17:25.740 --> 0:17:28.900
<v Speaker 7>Otherwise what?

0:17:31.380 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 13>I'll lose you to something I can't even see. In

0:17:35.540 --> 0:17:38.649
<v Speaker 13>five years or ten years or twenty... I'll just be

0:17:38.690 --> 0:17:41.130
<v Speaker 13>another cop's wife who doesn't have the slightest idea what

0:17:41.170 --> 0:17:44.609
<v Speaker 13>her husband does or thinks. Or why he's left her

0:17:44.690 --> 0:17:47.690
<v Speaker 13>for a newer model who doesn't want to be included.

0:17:49.609 --> 0:17:50.150
<v Speaker 5>We used to.

0:17:50.090 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 6>Talk all the time, Frank.

0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 7>Saved by the bell.

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:56.419
<v Speaker 13>And aren't you the lucky one?

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.140
<v Speaker 7>I didn't mean it that way.

0:17:58.180 --> 0:17:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Didn't you?

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.620
<v Speaker 3>Marie, sorry to just show up like this.

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.580
<v Speaker 13>Oh, what kind of talk is that?

0:18:08.660 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 4>You know you're always welcome.

0:18:10.619 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 5>Thanks.

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:11.570
<v Speaker 2>Come on in.

0:18:14.050 --> 0:18:14.750
<v Speaker 4>You want coffee?

0:18:16.270 --> 0:18:17.109
<v Speaker 3>I just went to Mass.

0:18:17.450 --> 0:18:20.169
<v Speaker 7>Been thinking about Frank all day. I tried calling, but

0:18:20.190 --> 0:18:20.870
<v Speaker 7>I couldn't get through.

0:18:20.890 --> 0:18:22.010
<v Speaker 6>He all right?

0:18:22.030 --> 0:18:23.350
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:18:24.650 --> 0:18:26.470
<v Speaker 7>He's here. I'm fine, sis.

0:18:27.100 --> 0:18:27.859
<v Speaker 5>Oh, thank God.

0:18:28.700 --> 0:18:28.959
<v Speaker 4>Come here.

0:18:28.980 --> 0:18:29.440
<v Speaker 5>Give me a hug.

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:30.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

0:18:32.260 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:18:36.030 --> 0:18:37.130
<v Speaker 7>Remember Laura Ferraro?

0:18:37.670 --> 0:18:38.820
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yeah, I remember her.

0:18:38.890 --> 0:18:39.190
<v Speaker 5>From St.

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.359
<v Speaker 7>Ignatius? Mm-hmm. She worked in the North Tower. Three kids.

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:45.159
<v Speaker 7>The oldest is five.

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:46.919
<v Speaker 13>Oh, my God.

0:18:46.940 --> 0:18:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:50.380
<v Speaker 7>I got to get back down there.

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:52.260
<v Speaker 4>Be careful, honey.

0:18:53.660 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 7>Call when you can, okay? What do they have you doing, Frank?

0:18:56.340 --> 0:18:57.340
<v Speaker 4>Don't.

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 5>Doing what?

0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 7>You know I can't sing.

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:01.100
<v Speaker 1>I'm worried is all.

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 13>Come on, I'm your sister, for God's sake.

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:03.889
<v Speaker 5>Don't you trust me?

0:19:05.310 --> 0:19:07.090
<v Speaker 7>I trust you. I don't trust your husband.

0:19:07.369 --> 0:19:08.790
<v Speaker 12>Come on, can't we make an exception?

0:19:08.830 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 7>No.

0:19:09.670 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 13>Well, just this one time.

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:16.459
<v Speaker 7>Especially this one time. I'll call you, Connie.

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:25.310
<v Speaker 13>I love my brother.

0:19:25.330 --> 0:19:27.570
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, me too.

0:19:29.050 --> 0:19:29.869
<v Speaker 6>Just wish I knew him.

0:19:31.970 --> 0:19:32.230
<v Speaker 10>Yeah. Yeah.

0:19:42.180 --> 0:19:44.070
<v Speaker 5>I had at least a hundred grand out on the

0:19:44.090 --> 0:19:52.469
<v Speaker 5>street at any given time. Come on. Jimmy Maripisi was

0:19:52.530 --> 0:19:55.650
<v Speaker 5>in my book for seven grand a week. His day

0:19:55.690 --> 0:20:04.030
<v Speaker 5>to pay was Tuesday. Christ almighty, Joe.

0:20:04.830 --> 0:20:06.820
<v Speaker 11>Your boys bring me down here like I'm some kind

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:07.540
<v Speaker 11>of fucking deadbeat.

0:20:08.660 --> 0:20:09.480
<v Speaker 5>It's Tuesday.

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.620
<v Speaker 7>My nephew's missing at the trade center.

0:20:12.250 --> 0:20:15.369
<v Speaker 5>Fucking towers came down. We ain't heard nothing. It's still Tuesday.

0:20:16.170 --> 0:20:19.510
<v Speaker 5>In fact, it's been three Tuesdays. You've been scarce, and

0:20:19.550 --> 0:20:24.250
<v Speaker 5>I've been patient. You owe seven large. Principal and Vig.

0:20:24.270 --> 0:20:26.990
<v Speaker 5>And if I don't get both by noon tomorrow, I'm

0:20:27.020 --> 0:20:30.060
<v Speaker 5>gonna have to assume you're choosing something else. And once

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 5>that choice gets made, there's no resetting it. No more chances.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 5>No conversations like this.

0:20:37.460 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 7>Fuck you.

0:20:38.940 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 6>Your principal and your Vig. Jimmy.

0:20:41.260 --> 0:20:42.980
<v Speaker 5>All right, until we find my nephew, you gotta wait.

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:44.869
<v Speaker 6>There ain't a fucking thing you can do about it.

0:20:47.850 --> 0:20:52.889
<v Speaker 5>Jimmy, you made three mistakes. You borrowed my money, you

0:20:52.910 --> 0:20:56.150
<v Speaker 5>didn't pay it back, and you disrespected me by using

0:20:56.190 --> 0:20:58.230
<v Speaker 5>an excuse at the Trade Center.

0:20:58.350 --> 0:20:59.570
<v Speaker 4>Joe, it ain't like that.

0:20:59.590 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 5>And this nephew of yours, which I happen to know

0:21:02.930 --> 0:21:08.220
<v Speaker 5>you don't have. Joey. Tell me you don't have the money.

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 5>At least that I can believe. You hear the fucking

0:21:12.540 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 5>machine out there? You know what it does? It grinds

0:21:17.420 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 5>concrete into powder. Show him the machine.

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.070
<v Speaker 7>Joey. For Christ's sake!

0:21:27.910 --> 0:21:30.310
<v Speaker 5>Say hello to your nephew. Joey, come on, I'm a father!

0:21:30.590 --> 0:21:33.149
<v Speaker 5>Get him out of here. Joey, come on!

0:21:33.790 --> 0:21:35.790
<v Speaker 7>I'm a father, Joey, please!

0:21:35.850 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 13>Joey!

0:21:43.060 --> 0:21:45.980
<v Speaker 2>Go forth, Christian soul from this world, in the name

0:21:46.020 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 2>of God, the Almighty Father who created you. In the

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>name of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God who

0:21:53.780 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 2>suffered for you. In the name of the Holy Spirit

0:21:58.060 --> 0:21:59.020
<v Speaker 2>who was poured.

0:21:58.820 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 5>Out upon you. I think she's gone, Father.

0:22:05.380 --> 0:22:07.369
<v Speaker 7>In case the soul hasn't left the body.

0:22:08.460 --> 0:22:11.090
<v Speaker 2>May your home be with God in Zion, with Mary,

0:22:11.490 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>the Virgin Mother of God, with Joseph and all the

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>angels and saints.

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:18.540
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, Father.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I should tell you, I'm not ordained.

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 7>What?

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.740
<v Speaker 2>There was no violation of dogma. As a layman, I

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.740
<v Speaker 2>can offer an apostolic pardon, but I believe she died

0:22:33.790 --> 0:22:36.390
<v Speaker 2>in peace, which is how any of us should go.

0:22:37.750 --> 0:22:39.330
<v Speaker 2>And you are to be thankful.

0:22:47.180 --> 0:22:49.179
<v Speaker 9>By the time I got back to the Trade Center,

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.300
<v Speaker 9>it was safe to search for survivors again.

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:52.939
<v Speaker 7>Or so we thought.

0:22:54.540 --> 0:22:56.719
<v Speaker 9>As I walked through the rubble, I thought of how

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.640
<v Speaker 9>many people might be taking their last breaths under my feet.

0:23:01.140 --> 0:23:02.250
<v Speaker 7>That's when I saw him.

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 5>My brother-in-law.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Joe Bianchi.

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:09.590
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I knew it was Frank. I could tell from

0:23:09.609 --> 0:23:13.270
<v Speaker 5>his walk. Same walk as when we were kids. And

0:23:13.290 --> 0:23:15.150
<v Speaker 5>when he walked down the aisle as my best man

0:23:15.170 --> 0:23:18.929
<v Speaker 5>when I married his sister Marie. I figured you'd be here, Frank.

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.020
<v Speaker 5>How come? I found out you're running the cleanup.

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.360
<v Speaker 9>And you're planting the Genovese flag.

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 5>So here we are, in the same boat. We both

0:23:30.340 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 5>got jobs to do. The question is, which one of

0:23:34.859 --> 0:23:35.340
<v Speaker 5>us wins?

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:37.640
<v Speaker 7>That's not the question.

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:42.180
<v Speaker 5>You tell me that. You were always smarter.

0:23:43.460 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 7>I wasn't smarter, Joe. I was just a little taller.
