Did you even think for a second
about what you did before you did it?
Or did you just do it?
You know I'm your boss, right?
You understand
how the hierarchy works?
Okay, I have been doing this
literally since you were in diapers,
and you have the balls
to go rogue on me?

because I assumed you wouldn't let me.
- Mazel tov! You finally got
something right, you zygote.
Now pack your shit and go home
till I decide exactly how I can fire you
in the most publicly humiliating way.
Bye.
- Have you guys seen what's going on
with our little news company?
Every media outlet on Earth
is citing our story.
- Ridge, we have put out information
that may or may not be accurate.
- So?
Did I start this thing
to be right all the time
or to make money all the time?
Phones are going off, okay?
I'm getting calls from all over.
CNN called me, Jerry. CNN.
- Uh-huh.
- Okay?
Ms. Pittell, I need to get you
in front of a camera right now.
- No, no, wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no. No, no.
She has been careless and reckless.
She's not ready to be thrust
into being the face is this story, Ridge.
- You need to relax.
You need to worry way less
because we're gonna do this.
Let's do this, Top Gun. Come on.
Let's do it.
- She doesn't even know that's a movie.
- Roger that. I'll let him know.
Subway system trips the brakes
if the train exceeds 50 miles per hour
on that stretch of track.
Ferro's getting close to 50.
- This is why we get paid.
Get down into the La Brea station.
Double back towards me.
We'll squeeze the son of a bitch out.
- Whoo.
[ beeping ]
[ brakes screech ]
Come on!
[ pounding on control panel ]
[ wheels screech ]
- Okay, compadres, that's the sound
of our boy coming to a stop.
For all we know, he could have a stick
of boom-booms strapped to his chest.
Be smart and stay safe.
Can I get a "Copy, boss"?
BOTH: Copy, boss.
- Music to my ears.
- Come on.
- Michelangelo Ferro!
I know you can hear me.
I'm Captain Clayton Bryce
of the LAPD County Terrorist Bureau.
My friends call me Clay.
My best friends call me boss.
And after I arrest you, son,
you will call me sir,
and make no mistake about it.
I am going to arrest you.
