the call

A telephone call received (usually) in the small hours of the morning, usually bearing bad news about a close friend or family member -- most of the time, either they have died, are near death, and/or were involved in a terrible accident.

You better hope you never get "the call"......

call

Final decision based on value judgement, "the last word". Please note that this is rarely used without a possessive pronoun preceding it.

"It's not my call." - It's not up to me to decide.

"In the end, the call is his alone." - It's up to him to decide.
