I understand.

You need to make a living.

But it's time to stop

Instead of stealing from those hurting as much as you,

this community needs to start protecting one another.

We do what we do to survive.

- Yeah! - Quiet down.

Just to survive every day? One day at a time?

But there are no functioning hospitals down here.

LUCIUS: Gordon.

Get him out of here.

What you got?

Well, seems like a piece of a toy plane,

and yet, if I'm not mistaken,

it's covered in plastic explosive residue.

There's also the remnants of what seem like

a trigger wire.

Whoever built it

takes pride in their work and has considerable talent,

historical knowledge even. Look at the detail.

Pretty elaborate.

I can think of easier ways to kill a room full of criminals

than with a toy plane.

Perhaps it was intended to fly to someone specific

and not destroy the whole room.

Like an assassination attempt?

If so, who was the target?

NYGMA: Whoever this was

needs to be made an example of.

I mean, can't they tell you were trying to help?

- Maybe it wasn't one of them. - Oh, of course it was.

I just think that maybe the best thing

for the Narrows is to burn it to the ground, start over.

Well, that would certainly suit everyone, wouldn't it?

I'm just saying,

someone tried to blow you to bits,

and I bet they're gonna try it again.

So I'm gonna find them, and when I do,
