---

you're taking people hostage.

They killed three passengers,

including a fed.

They derailed the train.

-All to get some evidence.

-Okay.

So where is it, Mike?

Not until Karen

and Danny are safe.

Local PD's

calling me directly.

So, we wait.

We wait.

Yeah.

How you guys doing?

-Yeah, I'm good.

-Not too bad.

-Perfect.

-Fine, but I gotta pee.

Mike, I know

this isn't you, man.

Look, you say they set you up,

you got a witness, evidence.

-I believe you, but...

-But what?

It doesn't matter

what I believe.

It's what I can prove.

Look, you want confirmation

on your family. I understand.

But from where I sit,

I say we end

this thing right now.

Just give me what you got,

nobody else has to get hurt.

You telling me that

as a detective or a friend?

I don't know, Mike.

What would you tell me?

We're running

out of time, man.

Mike, I get it. You wanna

do the noble thing here.

But I got news for you.

There ain't

no such thing as noble.

-It was you.

-What are you talking about?

You called me. You knew

about the witness. You...

You knew what they saw.

Yeah, I told you

what happened.

It was a cop who killed him.

-You set me up.

-Hey, slow down, Mike.

You killed Enrique Mendez.

You knew Prynne was

getting on this train.

-You targeted me.

-Mike...

An ex-cop rides this

train every day. You knew.

Mike, whoever's talking to you,

they're trying to get in your...

-Son of a...

-You've lost it, man.

Talk, God damn it. Talk!

Friendly's

engaged with the target.

I repeat, friendly's

engaged with the target.

Do not fire

until you get a clear shot.

And say what?

That you killed

three people, a fed?

You derailed a train and took

the passengers hostage,

all 'cause some mystery woman

threatened your family?

You did this.

Doesn't look

that way, does it?

So why don't you

put down the gun

before someone

you love gets hurt?

Where are they?

Where's my family?

I will kill you, Murph.

I swear to God.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm trying to help you here.

A lot of powerful people

have got a lot to lose

if that evidence gets out.

They have eyes everywhere,

even inside the Bureau.

I told them to put the

witness on your train.

I thought I was

doing you a favor.

You needed the money.

But you couldn't just do

what she asked, could you?

If I don't answer that,

your family dies.

So why don't you

give me the gun?

You got no choice, Mike.

It doesn't have to

end this way.

Come on. Karen, Danny...

Don't you dare

say their names.

You've done enough, Mike.

-Is it done?

-We're good.

You know what to do.

See, the thing is, Mike...

I got a family, too, you know.

All right, who's Prynne?

Murph, listen to me.

All I gotta do

is call her back, Mike.

Come on.

All right, who's Prynne?

Who's Prynne?

Mike, who's Prynne?

Who's Prynne?

It's me.

I'm Prynne.

No, man.

She's covering for me.

-I am Prynne.

-Wait.

I'm the witness. I'm Prynne.

No. I'm Prynne.

They're lying. I'm Prynne,

and I know what you did,

you bastard.

I am not Prynne, so...

-No one is.

-It's gotta be someone.

-You get a shot, take him out.

-Roger.

Leave it.

Murph.

Overwatch, do you have a shot?

Repeat, do you have a shot?

Negative.

Watch the hostages.

-Watch the friendly.

-Holding fire.

What are you gonna do,

kill all of us?

No, you are.

Target is clear.

Take him out.

-No gun.

-Get down!

Do not move!

Stay down!

-Do not move!

-Against the wall!

Get down! Get down!

-All the way down!

-Stop! Stop! Stop!

He saved me!

-He saved me.

-Prynne?

MacCauley? Michael MacCauley?

Yeah.

I'm Agent Garcia, FBI.

Your family's safe.

We arrested three men

outside your home.

He was your cousin?

Tell me what you saw.

-Thanks.

-Okay.

This way.

Watch your step.

So this is

the end of the line.

I guess so.

Next time

I'm taking the bus.

All I know is this, all right?

That guy is a goddamn hero.

-Okay? A hero. Write that down.

-Yeah.

H-E-R-O. Hero.

A hero. Did you write it?

-"Hero."

-Thank you.

So, what's up?

You got a boyfriend or what?

What?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? Is it serious?

I wanna know what I'm dealing

with, you know what I mean?

-Hi, darling.

-Hey, babe.

My God. Look at

you. Are you okay?

-I'm all right. Hey, big guy.

-Hey, Dad.

How you doing?

Mrs. MacCauley,

I believe

you may have lost this.

I've been looking

for this all day.

-Shall we get you home?

-Yeah, let's go home.

So, this is

what you do every day

when you go to work?

Yeah, every day.

Come on, help me up.

I can't believe

what they're saying.

Is it really true about Murph?

Give me a second, will you?

Give me a second.

David.

I have to tell you, there's

been an ongoing investigation

into Alex Murphy

and others in the department.

-There was a woman.

-Female, mid-30s.

We're checking CCTV

in and around

86th Street, right?

-Yeah.

-When we know, you'll know.

What can I say?

I'm sorry it got this far.

Listen, Mike...

We miss guys like you

in the department.

Guys that do it right.

More details are emerging now

in the wake of that

Hudson North derailment...

A federal witness reportedly turned

over evidence to authorities...

Several NYPD officers

have been implicated.

There is no evidence...

...the murder of

a city planning official.

...he attempted to blow

the whistle on a conspiracy.

...believe this ties to

City Hall, to the Mayor's office...

about accusations

of collusion...

And now a link between city

officials and at least...

...corruption on a major scale,

and this mystery woman

who masterminded

the derailment,

does she even exist?

"What makes a man

"is what he does

when the storm comes."

Alexandre Dumas.

Read that one

a few years back.

It's got a hell of an ending.

This seat taken?

-The 6:
20 every morning

to Chicago. -30 home.

You know, I never took you

for a commuter.

I'm sorry. Have we met?

The way I figure it,

the people you work for,

Alex Murphy goes down,

you win.

That 16-year-old girl

dies on that train, you win.

You do your job, disappear,

the rest of us

just collateral damage.

You didn't pick me because

the witness was on my train.

You put her on the train.

Maybe you even got me fired.

Suddenly I have motive,

opportunity,

just like Alex Murphy.

This wasn't his operation.

You played us both.

I'm not sure what you think

is gonna happen here, Michael.

One little thing.

And what's that?
