If I weren't such a D'Onofrio fan, I would never have put myself through the discomfort of watching this episode. But Vincent didn't disappoint...he was awesome. Still, the episode, with its "implied gore" similar to the film Saw, was very disturbing. The plot line entails John Lange, a salesman, becoming pinned between the subway platform and the train. From the onset, the medic (whose bedside manner was about two degrees chillier than a Fudgsicle), makes it plain that Lange is a goner. So Braugher's character dispatches two not-so-motivated cops to find Lange's jogger girlfriend. I would have been sated, as would the D'Onofrio character, if he'd have had Sarah, a priest and a fat, greasy cheeseburger before the closing credits, but it wasn't in the script. Overall, though, good writing and expected great performances by the dependable D'Onofrio and Braugher made it worth watching.
