Our Father...

...but I love you!

...who art in heaven...

-Goodbye, John!

-...hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread...

Thank you, God, Allison and Bianca,

who needs a daddy.

Oh, God! Forgive us

our trespasses as we...

Let her know I love her!

...forgive those

who trespass against us!

John?

You there?

Yeah, Will.

I'm here.

I'm still here.

About 20 minutes ago,

we were reporting on another building

at the site of the World Trade Center

that they referred to as Building Seven.

Officials were watching

very closely because

it was on fire

and in danger of collapsing.

Well, moments ago, it did collapse.

So that would be the third building

in the World Trade Center complex

that has collapsed today.

There are no reports yet

of additional casualties...

Rescue officials in the area

have suspended

the search for survivors.

No word yet on when rescue teams

might get back to trying to find anyone...

That's a lot of guys not with him.

Port Authority Police.

Sergeant King speaking.

I got cars cooking off.

I got rounds flying all over the place.

I've got guns all over the place.

Now back off. It's getting dark out.

Chief, you got to let us in.

My whole battalion's in here, Chief.

-There's still guys in there.

-I know it, boys. Not tonight.

Tomorrow's another day.

It'll be dark in a half an hour, man!

God bless their souls,

but I'm not letting you join them!

Everybody report to the station there.

What's the status here?

The search has been called off.

They say the Marriott's gonna go, too,

and until it's more stable, we're out.

This whole thing is crap, man.

Our guys are in there.

They're dying in there.

It's like God made a curtain

with the smoke,

shielding us

from what we're not yet ready to see.

All right, nut bag.

Didn't even finish them.

...a 45-degree angle.

See? Okay?

You put the plywood here.

Put the saw here. Nice and easy.

Don't force anything. All right?

Want to try again? Okay.

Don't force it. There you go.

Sarge? You never told me

your wife's name.

It's Donna.

Donna? That's a good name.

It's real American, you know?

Mine's Allison.

She's Italian and some German.

Don't get her mad.

Yeah. She's a wild one.

Donna can get mad, too.

She wants a new kitchen.

I'm okay carpenter, so

I'm building her one.

There's no cabinets right now.

She's pissed.

So

I got to get out of here.

Donna, she's...

I married the right one, you know?

Yeah, I know.

Me, too.

Tell me about your wife.

Well, she's

five months pregnant now.

It's gonna be a girl.

I already got one. Bianca.

She's four.

You got to name Bianca.

You love that name Bianca.

No. I love the name, but you picked it.

So?

So I get to choose the name this time.

Alyssa.

Alyssa?

Kids are gonna love that name.

"Alyssa the pisser."

Look, I like Olivia.

Olivia? Olivia sounds like Olive Oyl.

-Will.

-What?

Olivia.

Olivia Jimeno.

I'm naming the baby Alyssa.

It's what Will wanted.

What?

-I'm gonna pick up that prescription.

-What prescription?

The doc called in

a prescription for you, honey.

You know, for the baby.

Said we got to have it on hand,

just in case.

In case what?

In case you need it, honey. You know?

-I'll go with Jerry.

-No, Allison...

I'm not sitting here waiting for a call

that Will's dead.

-Allison...

-I'm coming, too.

What am I doing here?

-AI, you all right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Will could be never coming home.

I'm walking around CVS

like there's nothing wrong.

You said

you wanted to get out of the house.

You said

you wanted to get out of the house.

You have your cell phone?

I left it.

Karen, you have your cell phone?

Karen.

I forgot it.

We left the house with no phone?

Al, what are you doing?

Got to get home.

This stupid light is taking forever!

Come on!

-Allison!

-AI.

Allison! Would you get back

in the goddamn car?

We're going home.

Did he call?

Sarge?

I don't think

I'm gonna make it to the morning.

-I feel like...

-Will.

-Like...

-Will.

You die, I'm gonna die.

Okay?

You die,

I'm just gonna die.

Well, you can't die, either.

Sounds good.

But in case...

You think you could do me a favor?

What's that?

Could you put it out over the radio

that I request

my daughter to be named Olivia?

And tell them

to tell Allison that I love her,

and that she should name

my daughter Olivia.

This is McLoughlin

PAPD.

Officer Jimeno requests

his daughter be named

Olivia.

Officer Jimeno

would like his wife, Allison,

to know he loves her.

Further to that,

please tell

my family

I love them

very much.

Jeez Louise.

JJ!

...psychologically across the country.

It's had such an enormous...

JJ, what are you doing?

I told you before.

-Sweetie, get out of the car.

-No.

-JJ, get out of this car. Now!

-No.

-Don't say no to me.

-What's wrong with you?

-Don't you want to find him?

-Yes, I want to find him.

-What if he's dying?

-There's nothing that we can do.

What if we never see him again?

All right, I'll go. Get out.

I said I'm going. Now, come on.

You want some tuna without the bread?

No, Mom, I'm not hungry.

You have to eat something.

The baby's going through this,

too, honey.

How about a waffle?

Forget it, Patricia. She'd throw it up.

I could cook up some macaroni.

No, that's okay, Ma.

I'm going to put Bianca to bed.

It's also a great test for us all,

wherever we live, whatever our age,

whatever our beliefs.

Just look at that scene

and think about what happened today.

Rescue officials predict that hundreds,

if not thousands...

-Mommy!

-Hey, baby.

Is Daddy coming home?

Honey,

I don't know.

United States Marines!

If anyone can hear me, yell or tap!

United States Marines.

If anyone can hear me, yell or tap!

United States Marine?

Are you heading in, too, Devil Dog?

I've reconned the area, Sergeant.

Our best shot is going up.

All right.

Someone says stop, you don't stop.

You don't hear them.

There's no going back.

Let's go.

Thomas.

Karnes.

United States Marines.

If you can hear me, yell or tap.

Sarge?

John.

Yeah.

The most amazing thing just happened.

I saw Jesus.

And you know what?

He had a bottle of water.

And I could have drunk it, you know?

But I didn't drink it.

He's telling us something, Sarge.

He's telling us to come home.

Don't sleep on me, John.

No.

The pain's keeping me alive.

Keep talking.

You remember Starsky and Hutch?

When I was a kid, it was on TV.

I remember the theme song.

When that would come on,

I'd run around the house

and arrest my sister, Karen.

Took me six years to be a cop.

The only thing

I ever wanted to be was a cop.

How long you been in?

Twenty-one years.

Boy, that's a lifetime.

You're one tough guy, Sergeant.

I don't smile a lot.

That's why I'm not

lieutenant.

People

don't like me 'cause

I don't smile a lot.

Yeah, that's it. You got it.

We got Frank Sinatra over here.

If you can hear me, yell or tap!

John.

John.

Remember what you said?
