Bomb detection unit is

being brought on the scene

with robots to

check for such explosives

in the tanker.

Now the bridge is

swarming with NYPD.

We have unconfirmed reports

that there may be some sort of

explosive device in the gasoline tank.

So what about this

bridge business, anyway?

Please, Aunt Ruth, I sold a

loft in Tribeca the day after 9/11.

We might not get

the usual hordes,

but we'll get the serious ones

and that'll work in our favor.

I will see you

tomorrow at 8:
30.

Good, okay, thank you.

...missing

driver as Abdul Pamir.

Now, we can show you

a picture from Pamir's

social networking site.

Isn't that a traditional

Muslim hat he's wearing?

Yeah, Brian.

It's actually referred to as a kufi...

Lily's coming by

with the first couple at 8:30.

Nothing stands in

the way of real estate.

What did Lily call this?

Clutter.

Who'd have thought that the

whole of my life's work

would be worth less

than the room I painted it in.

But how can I turn down

a million dollars?

I have nothing else to

leave Ruth besides all this

clutter.

Come on.

Okay. There.

Yes? Hello, Doctor.

Yes, this is she.

Dorothy's stabilized,

so I'd like to operate on her

first thing in the morning

to minimize distress.

Honey?

Yeah.

The Doctor wants to operate

on her tomorrow morning.

Yeah, now,

she has a heart murmur.

Yes.

Yes. I see.

Yes, of course.

He says the longer we wait the

more stress there is on her heart.

What are the odds

if they operate?

What are her odds?

Around 60-40.

60-40?

In her favor?

There's no guarantees,

but one can't be certain.

So do you want to

go ahead with this?

Well, yes, we do.

I should tell you that the

operation will be at least $10,000.

$10,000?

Yes.

Well, that's a lot of money.

I don't really know...

Here. Let me talk to him.

Okay.

Doctor? This is Mr. Carver.

Hello?

Hello?

What's the matter?

Doesn't work. Hello?

What?

Is anyone there?

Doctor, this is Mr. Carver.

Yes.

Listen. I want you to do whatever

is necessary to save Dorothy.

Never mind what I signed.

The money doesn't matter.

Okay.

Just do whatever it takes.

Will do.

What?

You know what.

It's a brand new day here at WZRZ.

Your place for New York talk.

Traffic is still snarled up

on the Williamsburg Bridge.

We'll go out there

with Cynthia Piermont soon.

But first, we have

a studio full of newlyweds.

So we're learning now

that the suspect, police source said,

Abdul Pamir is from Uzbekistan.

Hey.

Look at that.

What?

"Peril on the bridge!"

They make it sound like an

amusement park ride or something.

Several of Pamir's co-workers

have come forward to say

that he's a quiet,

good-natured young man.
