Lieutenant Caruso.
Is your father home? I thought you had a star witness.
What happened to Enrico Krauss? We had an arrangement with Mr.

We have Remy DeRosa in custody.
He's the biggest narcotics dealer in the state.
Trial starts in 10 days, And you just lost your witness, so you need my father to testify.
Yes, sir.
Without Mr.
Krauss, your father is the only chance we have.
Tony, when you were Upstate, he was your cellmate for three years.
- You must have talked to him.
- Your testimony could put him away.
Listen guys, I've got to stop you.
I'm not your guy.
I did seven years upstate without rolling over on anybody.
I'm not a rat.
That's my line in the sand.
Or Just thinking out loud here.
Don't laugh.
you could do the right thing.
Son, where I come from, this is the right thing.
I'm sorry.
Guys find somebody else to sit in your little log cabin safe house out in the middle of nowhere.
[SIGHS.]
Well, we appreciate your time.
- Lieutenant.
Ms.
Paddock.
- Good luck, guys.
For the record not that it matters, but the safe house is not a cabin in the woods.
It's a penthouse suite at the Four Seasons.

We use it for visiting dignitaries.
It's where the President stays when he's in town.

And his immediate family.
My immediate family? [CEREMONY MUSIC.]

If I get married again, I'm doing it right here.
How many times you been married, Burl? Depends on how you count it.
I've been married three times, but number one and number three were the same woman.
Who was number two? Our marriage counselor.

They're going for it.
Let's do this.

- What's her name? - It's a he.
- Brian Lemon.
- Brian.
Yeah, I remember him.
Motorcycle.
Yeah.
He's saying your dad might be in more danger than the feds are letting on.
DeRosa has been known to pay a hundred grand, sometimes 200, to have witnesses killed.
Guess how much he's offering for your father? Half a million? Nothing.
Zero.
He had a contract, but he cancelled it yesterday.
That means he's confident.
He doesn't need the extra help.
Word is, he's got someone on the inside.
Inside what? The hotel? Brian doesn't know.
I'm seeing him again tonight.
Maybe he's got an update.
Tonight.
Great.
Good work.
Thank him for me.

We can't be in here all day.
I'm getting all wrinkled.
Did you say all wrinkled or more wrinkled? - What's the difference? - What do you mean? There's a big difference, you little nut.
[LAUGHS.]
Am I a man of my word or not? How could I have ever doubted you? - Can I say something? - Sure.
You always said snitching is the lowest thing, that a person can do.
- Absolutely.
[SLURPS.]

I don't understand.
[TONY SR.
TSKS AND SIGHS.]
[WHISPERS.]
Come here.
I'm no rat.
I'm going to plead the Fifth.
- The Fifth? - Yeah, the Fifth Amendment.
My Constitutional right.
I don't have to say anything.
You're really not testifying? What are we doing here? Sweetheart, baby, lover we're on vacation.
Let's drink to that.
Salute.
[POLICE RADIO.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
You shaved your beard.
The lawyer insisted.
Where are we on Caruso? The feds have him all tucked in.
They think he's unreachable.
I didn't ask you where the feds are.
Where we we? Everything's in place.
He'll be dead by tomorrow.
- You're not going to finish? - No.
Why'd you order two lunches? That's an $80 steak.
What do you care? You're not paying for it.
I am paying for it.
You know those taxpayers you always make fun of, "the chumps"? That is me.
You try running a business in this city.
I have.
I'm talking about legitimate business.
They take 50 cents on every dollar.
And if you had a job, you would understand.
[TONY SR.
MOANING.]
What are you doing? I'm thanking you for my steak.
You beautiful little chump, you.
What are you doing? Again? This is not possible.
Why? I had half a steak.

After you.
Oh, baby.
[CORA.]
Young? Old? Young.
Mid 20's.
Thin? Heavy? Was he clean shaven? I don't know.
I don't remember.
I was distracted.
- I had money on the game.
- How much money? - Ten bucks.
- Ten bucks? That's all it takes for you to ignore an informant - trying to feed you vital information? - It wasn't my finest hour, I admit it.
We have to call TJ.
Not yet.
A screw up like this, they'll pull my pension for sure.
Let's give it a few hours.
We'll find it.
We'll find the dollar, we'll call the kid.
This never happened.
It's not here.
Is that all there was? There was more.
A customer cleaned me out just before closing.
- Who was he? - No idea.
I didn't know him.
He gave me two 20s, I counted out 40 bills.
There's only one reason a man needs 40 singles at 2 a.
m.
How many strip clubs are within a 10 mile radius? - Nine.
- Eight.
Carlisle's closed.
Eight strip clubs? It's going to take us all day.
Hold on.
What did this guy look like? Skinny ponytail with a silver earring.
That's Buzzy Mayberry.
Where are we going? The Juggery.
[ELEVATOR DINGS.]
How's it going? I think the honeymoon might be over.
After one day? What can I tell you? Love fades.
[MECHANISM BEEPS AND UNLOCKS DOOR.]
[DEBBIE.]
Get your feet off the table, please.
What is that fishing? Not only fishing, they're hunting too.
We're supposed to be doing this puzzle together.
We are doing it together.
I did that piece.
You forced them together.
I know how they feel.
Look at that.
Look who's here.
Son of mine.
What do you say? What are you doing here? [LAUGHS.]
Just checking in.
How are you two doing? You know, marriage is tough.
It's hard work.
I've got to tell you.
It's good to see you.
[YELLS.]
You are not smoking that in here.
I think that's why married men live longer.
Or does it just seem longer? Did you see this? Think how proud mom would have been.
She would have never believed it.
That's true.
She'd have never believed this.
- Here.
- No, keep it.
I bought the whole newsstand.
Tony, we have to work on your testimony.
- Hasn't been doing his homework.
- I'll get to it.
I will.
I think Byron has to go.
It's my turn.
- I'll take him.
- [BYRON GROWLS.]
Gingerly.
I'll join you.
.
[SIGHS.]
So, take a look at the Give me a break.
Don't you see we're doing a puzzle? I understand, he's your father.
- Of course, you're concerned.
- Save your breath, Greg.
I talked to my friend at the DOJ.
Enrico Krauss didn't just change his mind about testifying.
He was killed by a car bomb at an airport outside of Saint Louis.
Just try telling me the truth.
Just try it.
For the novelty of it.
There was a breach.
An attack on a federal motorcade? That's a hell of a breach.
The agents in charge have been reassigned.
That's very reassuring.
But that's not the answer I'm looking for.
- My father's in the crosshairs up there.
- Your father's safe.
You've seen the penthouse.
It's impenetrable.
- It's the Fortress of Solitude.
- Are you sweeping for explosives? Twice a day.
- What about the housekeeper? - I vetted her myself.
She's worked with us on five other details.
We've been told that DeRosa has somebody on the inside.
- Not possible.
- It's a credible source.
Not possible.
There are 18 other safe houses in New York.
DeRosa has no idea which one your father's in.
Nobody's getting to him.
You have my word.
He still hasn't peed.
He usually doesn't.
He just wants to get out of there.
[TONY SR.
SNORING.]
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[PEOPLE WHISTLING.]
[BARTENDER.]
Buzzy Mayberry? Yeah.
He was here.
Came in late.
Like, after 2:00? Who'd he hang with? Anyone in particular? [SHOUTS.]
Jolene! He has a thing for Jolene.
- Are you Jolene? - Occassionally.
Alright, I'm Detective Vasquez.
This is Sergeant Loomis.
Do you know a customer by the name of the Buzzy Mayberry? Only from the club.
I don't know him in the real world.
At the moment we're not looking for him.
We're looking for a dollar bill he might have given you.
A dollar bill? I know it sounds crazy.
- It's a particular dollar bill.
- It has a phone number written on it.
- In red ink? - Yeah, the red ink.
I was wondering about that.
Hold on.
It's here.
Sorry.
The laundromat.
The 24-hour laundromat on Vincent Street.
I stopped by on my way home.
That's just up the block.
Would you mind coming with us? - Can we wait until after my set? - Sure, we can wait.
We'd rather go now.
- We've got time.
- We've got to go.
How long is your set? [CORA.]
It doesn't matter.
Get your coat.
How long? Yeah.
Those movies drive me crazy.
[GUARD.]
The Christmas Miracle.
Plus, it has Reese Witherspoon.
- So you know it's good.
- I've been wanting to see that.
I think I'd rather chew glass.
[GUARD.]
Why don't we watch the trailer? Then we can decide.
I'm not kidding.
I think I'd kill myself.
How about this? We have two TVs.
So, Debbie can watch Reese Witherspoon in the bedroom.
Tony can watch Goodfellas out here.
Hey, that sounds fair.
We each get our own TV.
It's, like, Biblical.
It's, like, King Solomon.
[LAUGHS.]
What now? Why are we here if we're not together? Of course, we're together.
We're trapped in here.
We're like cellmates.
Who's more together than us? Kevin talk to her.
You talk to me, Tony.
How about that? How about you talk to me? Goodfellas it is.
Stork.
Give it up.
We've been checking the phone all day.
She hasn't called yet, it ain't going to happen.
Papa, move on.
[TIRES SQUEAK.]
Te gusta? [HOUSEKEEPER.]
Me encanta.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
A little cigar.
- Watch this.

MOANS.]

- De nada.
[TONY SR.
LAUGHS.]
Excuse me.

- Thank you for coming.
- [TJ.]
Of course.
[MAN STARTS CRYING.]
- Are you okay? - I'm just I'm so happy to see you.
Who are you? You don't know me.
I'm Tony Caruso.
I'm a lieutenant with All-City Homicide.
To be honest, Mr.
Entwhistle, I'm not here to see you.
I picked your name - at random.
- At random? I'm here to see that gentleman over there, but I don't have permission.
So You were not here for me? I'm sorry.
Well As long as you made the trip how's life? You look good.
I'm so sorry, but I can't talk.
You can't say hello? You're the first visitor I've had in 18 years.
My sister used to visit on my birthday.
I think she passed.
She must have passed.
I promise, when this is all done with I'll come back for a real visit.
No you won't.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Sorry to interrupt.
Excuse me? This won't take more than a minute.
I'm Lieutenant Tony Caruso.
Tony Junior.
I'll be damned.
I don't think there's any doubt about that, Remy.
Lieutenant, you understand I'm Remy's legal counsel.
This is a privileged conversation.
This will take a minute.
I have an offer for your client.
- One that I'm sure he'll want to hear.
- [COUNCELOR.]
On whose authority? - Did John Spector send you? - No ma'am, I don't know who that is.
I came on my own.
- I'm calling the guards.
- Wait a minute.
I must say, I'm intrigued.
Give us a minute.
I highly recommend you don't have this convers It's okay.
So what did you bring me? The key to the front gate? [TJ LAUGHS AND SIGHS.]
I'm sorry, I can't offer you that, but I can help Milo.
My brother.
I know he's sick.
My college's roommate is the chief diagnostician at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
I just got off the phone with him.
I can get your brother a new kidney.
I can save his life.
In exchange for Take the plea.
You'll get five to ten, you'll be out in seven.
- That's less time than my father did.
- And there'll be no case, and your old man would be off the hook.
[LAUGHS.]
Sorry, no deal.
See the truth is my brother means nothing to me.
I haven't talked to him in 20 years.
He's a fart in a dust storm.
How's your old man? Is he enjoying the Four Seasons? I hear that they have a serious rat problem.
Maybe someone will do something about that.
Come on, please open the door.
Okay.
I apologize.
I don't know what I did, but I'm apologizing.
[DEBBIE.]
That's the whole problem.
You don't know what you did.
Maybe I'll find a mind reader so he can tell me what I did.
[DEBBIE.]
Go to hell, Tony.
When's the hitman coming? I hope he has good aim.
This is the third, right? Today's the third.
What did you say? What? You just asked him what day it was.
You think this is PMS? You think it's my hormones? - It's not your fault? - I didn't say You are ridiculous.
You know that? You're like one of those canker sores - that won't go away.
- Come on.
By the way, there's only one way you're getting laid tonight.
You're going to crawl up a chicken's butt and wait.
How you doing? I'm living the dream.
Not my dream, some poor schmuck's dream.
Good.
I need to talk to you.
What's happening here? Where's Maria? She went home sick.
What's going on? He knows he's here.
- Who knows he's here? - Remy DeRosa knows.
- Cite your source.
- Cite my source? Remy DeRosa.
I just talked to him.
You went to the prison? On whose authority? Upon myself.
You would have done the same for your father.
Alright, guys.
Let's not overreact.
No, Kevin, I think overreacting is the appropriate response right now.
Lieutenant, even if it's true, relocating right now would be more dangerous than hunkering down.
We'll double the detail, we'll expand the perimeter.
Down! [GUNSHOTS CRASHING WINDOW.]
Get back inside.
- [TJ YELLING.]
- He's with us.
[GUARD.]
Stop it.

He's okay? Well, what about this squeegee? I'm at the federal courthouse where the trial of alleged drug kingpin, Remy DeRosa will begin on Monday.
There's been a lot of speculation here about a surprise key witness [MAN.]
with the phone number in red ink.
Yeah I remember that one.
I didn't deposit that one.
I didn't think the bank would take it.
- You didn't deposit it? - No.
Good.
What did you do with it? Hold on, hold on.
I remember.
I gave it to Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan? [PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING.]
There he is.
This is pretty good stuff.
You probably wouldn't know the difference.
- [TJ COUGHS.]
- [TONY SR.
LAUGHS.]
[TJ CLEARS THROAT.]
You know, when I was a freshman and you were all over the news.
"Most corrupt cop in history," and all that.
I considered changing my name.
I actually had a new name picked out.
Yeah.
What was it? [LAUGHS.]
Anthony Churchill.
- Churchill.
- Yeah.
He was the most honorable man I could think of.
Now I'm glad I didn't do it.
I'm proud to be your son.
I'm proud to be Tony Caruso.
When you testify on Monday morning against DeRosa that'll make up for everything.
Well a lot.
[DEBBIE LAUGHS.]
[PLAYING GUITAR AND SINGING.]
I can't stand it.
I'm going in.
Excuse me, sir? Police officer.
Hold on, man Not again! I can't afford a permit, trying to make a living! - Hold on, wait! Cut him off! - I don't run.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
You know, I think you're old enough to understand this.
Your stepmother and I have drifted apart.
She's not my stepmother.
Get out of my way, Greg.
Sorry ma'am, you're here for the duration.
That was our agreement.
Sometimes grown-ups realize that they can't live together anymore.
I just don't want you to blame yourself.
I don't blame myself.
You were right about the ring.
It was stolen.
And here's another news flash.
I wouldn't frame any of these papers, because guess what? Your hero, you're shining role model he's not testifying.
He never intended to.
He's pleading the Fifth.
[PRESSES KEYBOARD.]
[CORA GRUNTS.]
[PEOPLE GASPING.]
Killer cop! Film this! Somebody film this! Here! And Here.
You've got a great sound.
There you go.
[PANTS.]
No Caller ID [MOBILE PHONE BUZZES.]
Answer it.
You've been waiting all day.
No, I'll call them back.
What are you so jumpy about? Let me see this.
DeRosa's a bad guy.
He's a creep.
I know it.
I'm not defending him.
I can't rat him out.
That's the Eleventh Commandment.
[LAUGHS.]
Congratulations, Dad, you found a commandment you could follow.
[SIGHS.]
If that's his phone number, then he lives here.
Oh hell.
That's him.
Was him.
Shot three times.
Two in the abdomen, one in the neck.
- Was he dead when you got there? - Close to it.
Did he say anything? He did.
It didn't make any sense.
Something about a cigar.
He said, "It's in the cigar.
" [TONY SR.
LAUGHING.]
You okay? [HUFFS.]
I'm just angry.
Mostly at myself.
Why do I believe you? What do you mean, why do you believe me? You believe me because you wanna believe me.
Because you have to believe me.
I'm your father.
Where in the hell is my lighter.
- You don't testify, you can't stay here.
- I know.
I'll tell them.
But how about five more minutes? One last stogie.
I'll never be in a five-star joint like this again.
[MOBILE PHONE RINGING.]
Where have you been? I've been sending you messages all day.
TJ, listen to me It's in his cigar.
It's in what? We found an informant.
That's how they're gonna kill your father.
They put something in the cigars.
Dad, no don't smoke that.
- What? - The cigar is poisoned.
- Put it down.
- It's down.
It was down.
- Looks like strychnine.
- Let's bag it.
The other ones too.
It was Maria Starkey, the housekeeper.
She planted it.
Homeland Security picked her up in Florida.
She said DeRosa was holding her sister hostage in Guadalajara.
He made her do it.
What happened? They caught him talking to Loomis.
He grew up a couple of blocks from the house.
He was a good kid.
They called him "Stork".
Polite.
More polite than you.
I gave him his first job.
Every time I see him, he'd always say the same thing: "Hey, Uncle Tony.
Thanks, I owe you.
" Well, he just paid you back.
[POLICEMEN CHATTERING.]
He risked everything.
He gave his life because he thought you were doing the right thing.
[TONY SR.
HUFFS.]
Hey, Agent Conroy.
Let's go to work.
It took the jury less than three hours to convict Remy DeRosa of all nine counts.
Observers agree, it was the testimony of former detective Anthony Caruso that sealed his fate.
Mr.
DeRosa, do you have a comment, sir? Somebody should pay that rat a visit.
It's all taken care of.
The lab just sent this over.
It's the toxicology report on Big Tony's cigar.
Strychnine.
Undiluted, 25mg They weren't taking any chances.
It would have killed a horse.
A cigar-smoking horse.
The Surgeon General is right.
It's a dangerous habit.
[POLICEMEN CHATTERING.]
[TJ SIGHS.]
What are these? There were 19 other cigars in the box.
They tested them all.
The rest were clean.
Twenty cigars in the box they only poisoned one, the one my father smoked? - Why didn't they poison the others? - Maybe they were hoping to get lucky.
And they did.
Doesn't make sense.
A lot of things don't make sense.
Why don't they make size B batteries? - [KEYS JINGLING.]
- [DOOR OPENS.]
[TONY SR.
LAUGHS.]
Son of mine [LAUGHS.]
Take a whiff of this.
What does that smell like? - Paper? - No.
That's freedom.
Freedom.
This is my annulment.
I'm a single man again.
Marriage is a sacred trust, not to be entered into lightly.
Learn from my mistakes, my son.
I always do.
I would say this is a special occasion.
I've been saving this baby for just that kind of night.
Oh, yes.
It's a Cubano.
Don't report me.
They're legal now.
So Well I'll smoke it anyway.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah [HUMMING THE WORDS.]
I'm taking it outside.
I'm a free man WITH LOVE TJ [REMEMBERS BURL.]
Maybe they were hoping to get lucky.
And they did.
[TJ REMEMBERS HIS FATHER'S WORDS.]
This is better than cutting.
It keeps the end intact.
[TJ REMEMBERS DEBBIE'S WORDS.]
"With Love, TJ.
" That's so sweet.
Where's the comma? Dad! Don't smoke that! It wasn't in the cigar, it's in the puncher! It's out.
Next time I'm smoking it.
[ANNOUNCEMENT.]
All visitors must go through the X-ray machine.
They got a new vending machine in the common room.
- [TJ.]
Good.
- But it's all screwed up.
They put potato chips on the top row.
So when they fall, they get all broken up in the bag.
They should put the chips on the bottom, so they don't fall so far Because they're fragile.
The chips are fragile.
They should put the chips on the bottom row, so they don't fall so far.
Exactly.
Could you make some calls?
