"Windbreaker City" is the fifteenth episode of the second season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It is the 37th overall episode of the series and is written by Gabe Liedman and directed by Craig Zisk. It aired on Fox in the United States on February 8, 2015.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, the precinct takes part in the annual Inter-Agency Anti-Terrorism Drill. The precinct is the only non-federal agency to attend. They are met with hostility, as they're seen as inferiors by the Department of Homeland Security, which prompts them to break character from their roles as hostages for a Die Hard-style takeover of the drill. Meanwhile, Holt finds out he has the same score as Gina's in a psychological test, while Rosa and Amy compete for a weekend off.
The episode was seen by an estimated 2.59 million household viewers and gained a 1.2/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast and Nick Kroll's performance although some[who?] felt it felt repetitive to Tactical Village.[citation needed]
Terry (Terry Crews) announces that as part of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the precinct has been offered a place in the annual Inter-Agency Anti-Terrorism Drill, being the only non-federal agency to be invited. Throughout the day, Jake (Andy Samberg) keeps waiting for a text message from Sophia (Eva Longoria), who ended their relationship in the previous episode.
Arriving at the drill, the precinct is welcomed with hostility from Agent Kendrick (Nick Kroll), the DHS leader. The precinct is given the role of hostages, which disappoints them. Jake convinces the others to fight back against the designated terrorists, in the style of Die Hard. After managing to take out the designated terrorists, Charles convinces the others to take on the remaining federal agents. Jake and Kendrick then get into an argument, and decide to compete for who will be the last man standing. After only Jake and Kendrick are left, Kendrick pretends to surrender, but shoots a paintball at Jake using a gun taped to his back in the style of John McClane. As a result of their rebellion, the precinct are banned by Kendrick from future exercises.
Meanwhile, Amy (Melissa Fumero) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) compete to get a weekend off work. Deciding to use the drill as an opportunity, Amy shoots Rosa, only to be shot herself. Afterwards, Amy lets Rosa have the weekend, as Rosa wants her parents to meet Marcus. Holt (Andre Braugher) decides to take Gina's (Chelsea Peretti) psychological test and is stunned to find they have the same score.
