Why did you stop being a vigilante?
My best friend was killed.
I made a promise to myself.
I'm not him anymore.
You cross into 39th street, you pay a toll.
Red Hook is exempt from any taxes, tolls or other payments.
You know that, Luca.
We need cash flow, Matt, pretty bad.
I'm working on that, too. Already set meetings with a bunch of banks.
Last night, there was a double homicide not half a mile from the port.
- Silly wee bastard.
Apparently, a hijacking gone wrong.
I sent Buck to Luca
to tell him to pay Viktor 1.8 restitution for the hijacking.
We got married at City Hall
and now we're opening a joint checking account.
Girl, come on. It's St. Patrick's Day.
What do you mean you don't wanna come out for drinks with us?
You watch the game?
Rangers took the Isles to the woodshed last night. Potvin sucks.
Good morning, Mr. Murdock.
Oh. Mr. Aldrich, thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice.
Uh, hate to disappoint you, Mr. Murdock,
but Mr. Aldrich has had a bit of an emergency this morning.
- Won't be in for a few hours. - Oh.
- Please, do have a seat. - Thank you.
I'm Yusuf Khan,
assistant bank manager here at New York Mutual.
- Thank you so much for waiting. - No, thank you.
Mr. Aldrich told me to look into your loan application this morning,
which I've had the...
Not wearing green today, Mr. Murdock?
Green?
- Yeah. Green. Today. - Oh, I— I see.
No. Uh, I tend to prefer more neutral colors.
- Hmm. - Less likely to clash.
You must be careful, though. A leprechaun might pinch you.
Candy?
- Uh, no, thank you. - Okay, all right.
- Oops. Excuse me, apologies.
Uh... Ah.
My daughter, Kamala, she's in California.
Visiting some friends there, La La Land as they say.
Mm. Where's home?
- Jersey City. - Jersey City.
- Hmm. - Well,
it certainly has its own special charm.
You think so?
I prefer it to Hoboken.
That's the nicest thing I've heard anyone say about Jersey City.
People don't know this, but it used to be the gateway to America.
- Really? - Yeah. Ellis Island, part of Jersey City.
And our very own superhero, Ms. Marvel.
- Ms. Marvel? - Mmm-hmm.
I'm not sure I'm familiar.
Hmm?
This is her right here,
a custom-designed Funko in her honor.
- I... - Oh, yeah. Well, you can't see.
Yeah. - But, um...
it's her.
- Is that right? - Oh, yeah.
Okay. So, shall we?
- Please. - Your loan.
I can see here that Murdock and McDuffie plans on expanding rapidly,
hiring new associates, moving to bigger offices.
Your firm's over-leveraged,
yet you're more than willing to take on clients
who have a difficult time paying,
- as in the tragic case of White Tiger. - Mr. Khan, if I may?
Have you ever needed a defense attorney?
Me? No. No, thankfully, not.
Well, if you ever do, it's often David versus Goliath.
The cops, the prosecution, public opinion,
the entire system conspiring against you.
We represent husbands, sons, daughters,
people like you and me, Mr. Khan.
So yeah, we may be over-leveraged, for now,
but we serve a vital function in a city that desperately needs us.
Your compassion and willingness to take risks are the very qualities
that make you an excellent defense attorney, Mr. Murdock,
but, unfortunately, they're the same reasons
that you do not meet New York Mutual's criteria for approval.
Well, that's certainly the nicest "no" I've received yet.
- Ready then?
Twenty minutes of courage, lads.
Then we got 1.8 mil and that fat bastard's off Luca's back.
Now... let's have some fun.
AT&T's the worst.
Oh, my God. Run!
Everyone freeze!
Hands in the fucking air!
Hands up. Hands up.
Hands in the air, you silly bastard.
That's it. Hands in the air!
Get on the floor! Didn't do nothin' wrong!
- Hey! Don't touch that.
Don't fucking move!
Oh, my God.
- Move. - I am.
Shit.
Oh, no.
Yeah, it was another no.
I think he said we didn't meet the bank's loan criteria.
He's a nice enough guy though.
All right, so I'm on my way in now,
- I'll probably...
- Hold on a sec.
Hands in the air, you silly bastard.
Kirsten, call 911.
That's it, over here, please. Thank you.
Move. Do you wanna get fucking shot?
- Move! - Don't hurt us.
Please. Okay. I can—
Round 'em up, pat 'em down. - Let's go!
Check the offices.
Oh, come on.
Drop it! Hands up. Move.
Now!
Please don't hurt us.
You think I'm fucking playing with you?
Okay.
Where do you want me to go?
Try running, I'll shoot you!
- AJ. AJ, are you all right? AJ.
Hey! Hey, we got one more.
You! Another step and it'll be your last.
- Uh, you talking to me? What's going on?
Can someone lock the door, please?
Hello?
Jesus Christ. - Sorry, what's happening here?
- Right. On your knees, Stevie Wonder. I'm on it.
Excuse me.
On your knees!
Okay. - Mr. Murdock.
All right. Mr. Khan?
What are you doing here? I thought you'd already left.
Yeah, I probably should have.
All right! No need to explain what this is.
You've all been to the movies.
This can go a couple of ways.
You stay where you are,
you keep your heads down, keep your traps shut,
you stay out of our way and we'll stay out of yours.
Easy. Everybody goes home
and everybody has a wild story to tell.
Now these weapons are loaded, they're live,
and they're very, very real.
If anyone has any doubts about that,
feel free to carry on and find out the hard way.
You kill anyone and your armed robbery charge
converts to a felony murder.
Then you're looking at 25-to-life.
We have a solicitor on our hands.
Mr. Murdock.
All right then. Mr. Solicitor here
may not have understood the rules.
Let it be a warning.
Now, where's the bank manager?
I need to see a Mr. Steven Aldrich.
We have a blind man, do we have a deaf one as well?
I said Steven Aldrich,
come out, come out wherever you are, please, Steven.
10-Charlie, request road closure
10 block northeast heading south.
The cops are here. Shit.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
The manager. Now or we start shooting.
I don't think the manager's here. Please don't shoot us.
Please. Please.
You.
Me? Uh...
What's your name? - Um, uh...
Yusuf Khan, sir.
- You work here, right? - Yes, sir.
What's your title, Yusuf Khan?
Title? Uh...
Assistant Bank Manager. Assistant.
- Assistant Bank Manager. - That's right, sir.
Where's the non-assistant bank manager?
Actually, he... He's had a bit of an emergency this morning.
He won't be in for a couple of hours.
A couple of hours? - Yeah.
Shut it.
Yusuf Khan.
Yes, sir.
You're gonna open the vault.
Can you do that for me, Yusuf Khan?
- Yeah, yes, sir. Good man.
- SWAT's pulling up. - SWAT?
Stay fluid, all right? Courage.
We talked about this.
Nothing changes. They do them. We do us.
All right. Looks like we're gonna be
spending a little more time together than we thought.
This isn't a fucking party.
The less you know about us, the less we know about you.
Let's keep it that way. Faces down.
How the hell did they get here so fast?
Someone must have triggered the alarm before we got in.
Before we got in? How could they have known we were comin'--
Hey. None of that matters.
Eyes on the prize. Right?
We do what the boss told us to do.
And we go to Plan B.
- Plan B. - All right.
You stay with the hostages,
I'll handle the cops.
Blue takes the assistant manager downstairs to open the vault.
You can't open it, can you?
- The vault.
- Look, I didn't know what to say, okay? - It's okay.
I... I just panicked.
- I thought he was going...
Probably I should just tell him, right?
No. Not now. He won't believe you. He'll think you're bluffing.
Oh.
Where is it?
- Four floors below. - Okay.
All right. When he takes you down there,
you stall as long as you can, okay? Can you do that?
What did I tell you?
- Get up there and find an approach. Yes, sir.
Rodriguez?
Who are you? - Detective Angie Kim.
- What happened to Murphy? - You know what today is?
You know that half of force is face down in a pool of Guinness by now.
I'm the acting deputy hostage negotiator, 5th Precinct.
You got a status report for me?
Call came in at 9:14 a.m.
Security feed showed 20 civilians.
By 9:15, every camera and line of communication in the bank went down.
Any contact? - Not yet.
Captain.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey! Back.
'Scuse me, sir, behind...
Someone's ears were burning.
This is Detective Kim.
Whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?
"Whom"?
Elocution off the top.
Very impressive, detective. Detective Kim, was it?
Angie Kim, officer-in-command.
Well, lucky for me then. You can just call me Jesse James, yeah?
Good one. How's your morning going so far, Mr. James?
Well, just peachy, Detective. And you?
You picked a heck of a day to take over a bank.
Wanna come out and raise a pint with me? Lots of Guinness out here.
That does sound temptin', Detective.
And you do sound calm, don't you?
Calm, firm, and resolute,
just like the manual says.
I didn't know the NYPD manual was available in Belfast.
That's good.
But your cops around the world are all pretty much the same, aren't they?
Next, you'll be trying to establish the upper hand, won't you?
Except in this case, I'm not sure I have to try.
You're surrounded, Mr. James.
Only way this ends is with you in handcuffs or a body bag.
Let's try to avoid the latter then, shall we?
Nothing would make me happier.
Good.
Let's start with three armored APVs then.
Parked right out front.
You sure you'll be needing that many seats?
From what I understand, your crew isn't that big.
Detective Kim.
Yes?
My job is to rob the bank. Right?
Your job is to prevent every hostage inside the bank
from getting a fucking bullet to the fucking head.
You have until 9:45.
That's less than 30 minutes.
And?
I need something from you.
Give me two hostages, as a sign of good faith.
What's the move?
Let 'em think they're in control, just like the boss says.
Okay, okay, okay.
It's okay. It's all right.
- Don't mind the gun.
Who shall we choose?
You.
Up.
Up, come on. On your feet.
Solicitor, up.
- Please. Both of ya.
Please, just don't hurt her.
Please. Just don't hurt her. Please.
Congratulations, you've both been emancipated.
Honey. Honey, go. - But...
- My husband. We just got married. - Honey, get out of here. Look at me.
- Please. Please. - Go, please. Honey, just look at me. Go.
Please.
Let him take my place.
Sorry?
I said let him take my place.
This isn't a debate, Solicitor, but thank you for the suggestion.
Just 'cause I'm blind doesn't mean I need your pity.
Do I strike you as some sanctimonious twat
tryin' to do right by the visually impaired, do I?
I don't like you, Solicitor.
I don't like your kind.
I don't like the clever little ways you twist the truth.
I'm not letting you go, I'm getting rid of ya.
That's understandable.
All I know is you're offering me a chance to save myself, which I appreciate.
What I'm saying to you is, give it to the woman's husband.
Is that what you're sayin' to me?
What's your name?
Matthew Murdock.
Murdock?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Not just a blind solicitor with a martyr complex
but an Irishman.
Where's your family from then, Mr. Murdock?
Hell's Kitchen.
Do you hear that, lads? Hell's Kitchen.
Before the big swim, Mr. Smartass.
I don't know.
I was raised in an orphanage.
Jesus wept. I, uh...
A blind solicitor and, hold for it, an orphan?
Are you bloody serious?
You're like a regular wee Charles Dickens character, aren't you?
Fuck it. Take the husband. This one's gotta stay.
- Oh, God. Thank you. Thank you. - Unlock it, let 'em out.
Careful what you wish for, Mr. Murdock.
Khan!
- Sir? On your feet.
You're up.
Movement. Positions.
Shield Team, up!
Guys, let's fucking go.
Why don't you let us through first.
All right. Go.
Guy can't do nothing.
Hey! Hey, what are you doing?
Hey! What are you doing?
Move it already.
All of this BS just for the friggin' vault? Get outta here.
They're not gonna find any cash in there. It's just a bunch of safety deposit boxes.
How'd you know that?
My family's been banking here since they got off the boat.
I got my grandmother's ring in there, some other heirlooms,
and I got a 1994 Mark Messier signed puck.
It's probably the most valuable item in this bank.
Rangers fan, huh?
Rangers, Jets, Mets, baby. All day.
I bet it's diamonds. What else would they be after?
Hey, man, I know what you did was really beautiful,
but maybe you could just sit down, so we don't all get in trouble.
Hey. What are you still doing on your feet?
What's going on here? On your knees.
I'm sorry, guys, I need to go.
Should've taken your chance when you had it, Stevie.
No. No, no, no. To the restroom.
Anyone else for the loo?
Tell him I'm taking the solicitor here to the gents.
You feel that? Aye?
Mmm-hmm.
Good.
Just making sure we understand each other.
Move.
Did you know that New York Mutual was built in 1931?
This vault here, uh, was built first
and the bank was then constructed around it.
What are you, the bank historian?
Left.
But did you know that this door of the vault was—
This is actually over 2,000 kilos.
There's a door on your left. Move.
Open it.
Stairs.
Hurry up.
Bloody open it, before I shove this down your throat, yeah?
- Please. Please, sir, I— I have family.
Now.
Please. Hurry up.
Actually, could I please request if you could get me a snack?
Just a granola bar or maybe a banana, would work wonders for my nerves.
- You want to see that family of yours?
Open the bloody door.
Then bloody open it. Uh...
Wait. Um, have we passed the first of the month already?
Because the bank changes the combination of the vault
on the first Tuesday of every month.
- What day of the week are we in— - Enough!
Please! Please, please. Don't shoot me.
You've been lying to us this whole time, haven't ya?
If you know the correct combination, then I'm the bloody King of England.
- Mr. Murdock.
What's your status?
Pass it to me.
What's your status, lads?
- What are you— - We're just...
- Um...
I needed the bank manager
to be sufficiently motivated to open the vault.
He is now. We're almost in.
Why are you talking to me, then?
Hey, watch out.
Mr. Murdock, what are you doing?
There are three men with automatic weapons trained on the hostages upstairs.
We can't go back up empty-handed.
Whatever is behind this door will buy us some time
and keep the other folks safe.
So, let them think they're in control.
This vault has a four-turn tumbler system,
which means it has over 100 million possible combinations.
You can't just crack it open like it's a piggy bank I gave Kamala
to instill in her the value of saving.
- Did it work?
Did what work?
- The lesson? The value of saving?
Oh. I don't know.
I guess, we just try to impart what we know to the next generation,
protect them from what they can't see.
Exactly what kind of a lawyer are you?
- A really good one. - [♪ dramatic music playing]
Well, how are we doing
with our esteemed transportation department?
Do you have any idea how many streets are blocked off today?
Getting anything into the financial district
is a logistical nightmare.
And cue the part where the negotiator pleads for more time, is it?
Does it sound like I'm pleading? I am telling you, we need another hour.
They'll get here. They just need more time.
It is what it is.
Qué será, será, Detective?
Is that how we do things now at the NYPD?
You'll get your APVs,
everyone lives to celebrate another St. Patrick's Day.
Oi. I confess. I'm disappointed, Detective.
You recognized the accent, but you don't seem to know jack shite
about the significance of St. Paddy's Day
for a Protestant, do you?
I must have missed that chapter, Mr. James.
Care to catch me up?
Just another Wednesday, love.
Or as they say in this dear city of yours,
"Christmas for a Jew."
Otherwise, you and I might be sharing that pint...
right now.
Let's make this interesting.
You'll have exactly three minutes to think of a joke.
If you can make me laugh...
I'll give you three more.
Hey.
Who knows a good joke?
It's just safety deposit boxes?
One thousand, two hundred and seventy-three of them.
And they all require a key?
Two, to be precise.
One, the banker's, second one, the owner's.
So then, what are they...
Maybe we could just...
Must be our lucky day.
You're telling me none of you know a good joke?
- And action.
Okay.
So, uh, a priest finds a four-leaf clover on the hills of Donegal.
An Irish joke? Really?
Check to see if there's a number on it.
It's been erased, but I can vaguely see a four.
Start there.
Priest rubs the four-leaf clover and out pops a leprechaun.
Uh, priest is ecstatic. He thinks, "This must be my lucky day!"
That the leprechaun now owes him a wish,
but, uh, before the priest can utter a word,
the leprechaun asks him,
"Father, do you by any chance
"have a leprechaun nun in your congregation?"
Bravo, Detective. 10 out of 10 on the accent.
So, the priest says, "Hate to break it to you, sonny,
"but there's no such thing in this world or the next as a leprechaun nun."
The leprechaun shakes his head, confused, forlorn.
"Ah, blimey!" he says, "I just fucked a penguin."
You have exactly 10 minutes before I shoot the first hostage.
So, was it true what you said upstairs, Mr. Murdock?
About being an orphan?
Mmm-hmm. My father died when I was just a boy.
I never knew my mother until much later in life.
I— I'm sorry. That must have been difficult.
No need to apologize, Mr. Khan.
I'm sorry. I'm just out of sorts here.
Hey. You're doing great.
We're almost there. We're gonna make it out of here.
You're gonna see your daughter again.
Inshallah.
We got a winner.
A jewelry pouch.
Wow.
That's one impressive diamond.
May I hold it?
Sure.
It's a pretty high-end stone for a bunch of rough Irish robbers.
Well, I heard the leader mention a boss. I think they're working for someone.
Oh.
Clock's up on the fun and games, Detective.
It's time to go in. Fan 'em out.
Tell them to take up positions on the perimeter.
Captain, you storm that bank right now,
innocent people will be caught in the crossfire.
Innocent people are already caught in the crossfire.
Prepare to advance.
- We need to get upstairs. Let's go. - Okay.
What is taking so long?
Christ.
Where's the blind one?
I don't know. He's not back yet. I don't like this.
Behind ya.
How the hell did you get up here?
You're asking the wrong question.
You're running out of time. You need to think about your next move.
Hands up! Both of you. Now!
No. You let these people go, now, while you still can.
What are you talking about?
When was the last time you spoke to the hostage negotiator?
Been a while? Right?
That's 'cause the police are no longer negotiating.
Well then, Solicitor, maybe I need to convince them I'm serious.
Oh, no!
You and I both know you didn't come here to kill anybody.
You came here looking for this.
How the hell did you get that?
It was on one of your men.
We go on my count.
Move it. Go! Go, go! - 10...
Nine... Eight... Seven...
Now, let these people go.
I'll give you the diamond. Everybody wins.
Six... Five...
Or I just shoot you in the head...
- Four... - ... and take it from you.
You have no leverage, son.
You have no time.
I'm going to give you three seconds
before I put a bullet in your head.
Three...
Two...
One. - Here. Catch.
Go, go, go!
On the ground! Now!
- Go! Go! Hands up!
Okay. Hey! Guns down, hands up!
- Hands up! Get on the ground!
Now! Hands in the air!
Show your hands! Show your hands!
Guns down! Hands up!
On the ground! On the ground!
Drop your weapon! Hands in the air.
Show your hands! Show your hands! Show your hands!
Come on, come on!
Wait, wait.
Daddy.
Listen up!
If you are a hostage
- and haven't given a statement yet... - Hold it. Hold it!
Who's that? Oh, I— I need to see the medic.
This guy was a hostage. He's with us.
Yeah. Bottom of the steps.
Thank you, sir.
Sir, right through here.
Hey.
The police told me they never found the diamond.
The lead robber didn't have it.
- Stop! I told you to knock it off. - None of the robbers did.
What do you think happened?
I think you were right.
They must have had a boss.
Someone inside the bank.
Very strange.
Still, I always believe things happen for a reason.
If this is about us reconsidering your loan, Mr. Murdock—
I didn't come here about the loan,
I just came here to check on you.
Oh. Good. Thank you.
But you know what?
Perhaps we can brainstorm on ways to make your firm more profitable,
- over dinner? With my family?
I'd like that very much.
As long as it involves a trip to Jersey City, Mr. Khan.
Great. It's a plan then. And please, call me Yusuf.
- You know, my wife, Muneeba,
she makes the most delicious fresh parathas.
And my daughter—
Ah! The famous Kamala.
Yes. Kamala.
Okay, great.
I will see you at dinner, then, Mr. Murdock.
Please. Matthew.
Matthew.
You know, I think I'm gonna try one of these.
You must.
- Mmm! - Mmm-hmm.
