- Mac Taylor: For the last four months, it has been my honor and privilege to be a part of something so important and that I am truly proud of. To contribute a little bit to so many who lost so much. These 417 first responders, the portraits of their faces etched in granite and honored here on this Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance, will live in our hearts forever. Ten years have passed since that tragic day. Many of us here have been personally affected and share a loss. And so, once more, we pause and we pray, and we will continue to do so as each anniversary passes. In helping to finish this memorial, I've met some truly remarkable people. And we've had the opportunity to meet with many of you who generously shared your thoughts and feelings on how best to remember these fallen heroes who demonstrated such unmitigated courage and selflessness. The effort to build this Wall of Remembrance has been a great blessing, as we attempt to heal our broken hearts. And here today we gather, a people united not only in our grief, but in our resolve to stand together as one family of Americans. God bless these brave souls who served so selflessly. They will never be forgotten.
- Adam Ross: I slept through it.
- Lindsay Monroe Messer: Through what?
- Adam Ross: 9/11. Yeah. I've actually never told anybody that before. Just... too embarrassed, you know? And everybody always asks me, you know, "Where were you?" And... I would lie. You know, I'd tell them that I was on the way to class, and I saw the news in the TV screen of some diner I was passing by. And when the towers came down, I was... on the roof of a building of NYU. I just couldn't believe my eyes. And... the truth is, I was asleep. You know, I went out the night before with a couple of my buddies, and we had a few too many drinks, and I didn't wake up 'till after 2:00. And by then, the entire world had changed.
- Jo Danville: That ring around the blood spot is called skeletonization.
- Don Flack: Why don't they just call it a ring?
- Jo Danville: Okay, that's it. Forget it. I give up.
- Don Flack: Sorry, it would be much more interesting if you guys used smaller words.
- Don Flack: We got the perps, the property, the bloody clothing, and both guns.
- Jo Danville: Nice work!
- Don Flack: They're still processing the hotel room, but it looks like this one's wrapped up in a bow.
- Jo Danville: Well, it never hurts to have a confession.
- Don Flack: 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".
- Jo Danville: I'll take Black Mike.
- Don Flack: Great. I got Mike Black. The white guy. Don't think about. But trust me, it's right.
- Adam Ross: I need your signature on this, boss.
- Jo Danville: I told you not to call me that.
- Adam Ross: Well, whose signature do I need at the bottom of this report?
- Jo Danville: Mine.
- Adam Ross: Then you're the boss.
- Jo Danville: Interim boss.
- Adam Ross: I'm not gonna call you "interim boss".
