"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]
