1 [PHONE RINGING.]

I'll get it upstairs.
[MARIE.]
Pop, is Grandma all right? [RICHY.]
Yeah.
Just a little upset today, that's all.
- Hello.
- [HAYES.]
Cathy? The fuckin' balls on you, Tommy.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Cathy.
- You're sorry? You're sorry? Everything my fuckin' husband did for you.
You're family.
You're gonna call here? You rat fuck piece of shit! Frankie's shitty little brother Jimmy was the rat.
Tell me you think I'm wrong.
- [HAYES.]
Cathy? - [BANGING.]
Cathy! - [PHONE CLATTERS.]
- Fuck you! - Cathy, listen to me.
- [DIAL TONE.]
[SIGHS.]
Fuck! [BAGPIPES PLAYING "AMAZING GRACE".]
[BAGPIPES CONTINUE.]
[CAR APPROACHES.]
[TIRES SKID.]
- Shit.
- [PHONE RINGS.]
The fuck do you want? [MAN.]
We have a location on Tommy Hayes.
Well, bring him home.
[NEWSCASTER.]
It's a beautiful weekend here in Western New York.
Lots and lots of fun activities for the family.
Check out the Allentown Arts Festival.
And don't forget - [ALL SHOUTING.]
- Don't move, don't move! [AGENT.]
Thomas Hayes! You are under arrest! [TOMMY GROANING.]
Fuck you! Fuck! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[IRISH MUSIC PLAYS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Hey, excuse me.
Excuse me.
[JACKIE.]
Hey, they found this with Hank's shit.
How'd you get his belongings? I imagine he meant that for you.
You warned me.
I forgot.
Lincoln Steffens: "Boston has brought corruption to the level of an art form.
" I guess gettin' fucked is is what I get for trusting another person.
So, here we are, huh? You made the bust, the Ryans are the Feds' problem now.
I'll take care of ya.
Nah.
Don't.
"As usual, I alone was wrong.
All wrong but all right, too.
" Again.
Steffens.
Ya know, when I was a kid, we were fuckin' poor.
You could tell, 'cause of the advent of redlining, we liv lived with the black people.
And I used to sneak into the Baptist Church because I loved to I just loved to listen to 'em sing.
I mean, I would I would sit in the back of the church and I would see these people sing and testify, and I would think to myself, what do they have that I don't? What do they know that I don't know that lets 'em smile and sing like that? I never figured it out.
Never.
All I'm sayin' is, Dee you're not alone.
When did you stop giving a shit? Honestly I couldn't tell ya.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Why are you talking to him? Signa is dead because he had to be the great fuckin' Jackie Rohr.
You think he's the only person who knows how to play people? Believe me, I didn't forget what you said.
And when I come for him, he ain't gonna see me comin'.
[BARRETT.]
The state cop was killed during the commission of a federal crime.
[JACKIE.]
You know, as a U.
S.
Attorney, you are a living, breathing cliché.
You are doin' exactly what we mocked the nuns for doin' back at school when we got in trouble you're makin' a federal case outta nothin'.
Just kick the Ryan brothers down to Suffolk and let the DA try them for the triple murder in Revere.
Of course, you don't care about the Ryan brothers.
You already got your episode of Chronicle on Channel 5.
And don't think I don't know you're gonna be throwing that one in my face in my face for the next ten years like you did the Angiulo bust.
I know I'm real tired of hearing about Jerry Angiulo.
- Just sayin'.
- [JACKIE.]
Not for nothin'.
But the Feds don't have the greatest reputation in this town right now, and the papers are startin' to get smart.
Don't look too good for you, either.
And yet here we are again on Chronicle, and once again people are hearin' "FBI" and they think of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.
And why is that? Because of me.
What do you want me to do? This kid Ward, his case doesn't mean anything to you, but to him, a win would mean something.
Hank Signa was like a father to this kid.
Got shot right in front of him.
Come on, give him a break! Uh if you want to ask us as a favor.
You cheap, miserable fuck.
Ward used to work for you.
All right.
As a favor, then.
I owe you.
Then what the fuck is this Ryan brothers case doing on my desk? I don't need this shit right now.
Get rid of it.
[JIMMY.]
Just listen.
Listen.
[STAMMERING.]
You fuckin' You keep sayin' the same thing over and over and over again.
Okay? So I'm gonna keep tellin' you the same thing back.
Immunity.
I want blanket fuckin' immunity.
You expect immunity for everything, everything you've ever done? You think I'm gonna get up on the fuckin' stand, talk about all the shit I've done just so you can fuck me later? I hate to derail your train of thought here, but are you out of your mind? You don't exactly have the best pharmaceutical facilities, this place, and it's been about 24 hours since I had the medication that I need.
So you're not too far off the mark.
You wanna take a little trip down to Bridgewood, hmm? A little 72-hour observation? Yeah, withhold medical care, that's good.
Hell, I might even leave here with a civil suit.
I guess that's what I should have expected of an affirmative action hire.
[RACHEL.]
Why is he puttin' up with this shit? You remember the best lay of your life? How is that question at all pertinent? I remember mine.
Girl I knew in law school.
Susie.
She had a body like Jane Russell.
Kind of a goofy face, but Then I met Elizabeth.
Very pretty, thought she'd look good on a campaign poster, so I married the face.
Being a prosecutor just isn't enough for Dee Ward.
He He just won't take the collar on Fall River, he wants to solve Revere too, and make himself a nice campaign poster.
I don't know.
Maybe he's smart.
Or maybe he'll end up like me, wondering why he just couldn't leave well enough alone.
[CHAIR SCRAPING.]
- Okay.
- Okay.
I'll be honest with you.
I'll put you guys away for killin' my friend for attempted robbery, et cetera, et cetera.
But I won't rest easy not having justice for those guards.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh.
Is that what all this shit's about? - Is it really fuckin' justice? - Yeah, really.
Justice.
So I'm gonna put you in the County tank.
I'm gonna put Thomas Hayes - in the same tank.
- Okay.
Then I'm gonna tell the screws up there - that one of you killed a cop - Yeah? and the other is a rat.
See if you can bullshit your way out of that.
[LAUGHING.]
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you're new to this.
Hmm? Not the job.
Maybe I was a little out of line with that affirmative action thing, but you're new to this situation.
Which is a situation where you're fucked.
You're in trouble.
- Me? I'm in trouble? - Yeah.
Yeah.
See, me, I been in trouble my whole life.
I couldn't possibly make this worse for myself, but I got nothin' to lose.
Which means, like it or not, you're even more fucked.
You've been working this Revere robbery for for four months, and now you're gonna put me and my brother and all my friends away for this bullshit down in Fall River.
But that won't solve who killed those Revere guards.
I can do that for ya, though.
For immunity.
I'll say it again: blanket immunity.
[GATE LOCK BUZZES.]
Heard you talked to Ward.
Yeah, I got myself a little heat.
What'd you tell him? I didn't say anything about you.
Jesus fuckin' Christ, you're the only person I know that talks more than I do.
You worry about me runnin' my fuckin' mouth? You know, I went to that funeral.
That state trooper that your shithead friend killed.
I like to watch the crowds at funerals.
You know? You can always tell when the son of a bitch wasn't liked, but this guy, people were genuine.
And it got me thinkin'.
Have you ever thought about what your funeral's gonna look like? Do you know how many fuckin' times I've had my life threatened today? No, I'm not talkin' about that.
I'm I'm just sayin', do you think that anyone is gonna feel anything other then relief when you die? Your parents or your brother or, uh, that girl whose life you ruined down in Florida? I mean, I'm sincerely not tryin' to be a prick here.
You and me both, there is gonna be people at our funerals who are finally gonna be able to fuckin' breathe.
You see what I'm sayin'? And you're the guy that I can talk to about this who will understand, who's sittin' in this cell for rattin' on his brother and his friends.
What What you tryin' to get at here? I think the Catholic guilt has finally gotten to me.
I've hurt a lot of people, and I would like to be able to bring them some relief.
Meanin' if I talk, then I'm dead.
You know, I almost fuckin' believed for a second, for a second, that you're a decent human being.
Ya know, I know a lot, Jackie.
- Oh, you do, huh? - Yeah.
I read the papers.
All those stories in the Globe, they just won't go away the Bulger brothers and the FBI.
Fuck do you know about that? Well, I could tell someone how the relationship between the FBI and an informant works, among some other things, like how the FBI looks the other way, you drop a body.
Like I said, Jackie, I know a lot of things.
Seems you do.
Which shows you the difference between wisdom and intelligence, because if you were wiser, you would keep that to yourself and let everyone think that you were smart.
Yeah, but see, I-I get nervous, I just start talkin', ya know? I always been that way.
Now, I would be a lot calmer answering questions if I had blanket immunity.
Now, if only there was some decent fuckin' human being who could understand that and who was wise enough to do me that favor.
I like you, kid.
I really do.
I mean, I talk to you, and I don't feel so alone bein' the biggest piece of shit in the world.
Yeah, the feeling's mutual.
Faggot.
"Faggot.
" Shoulda killed that motherfucker.
[RAIN PITTER-PATTERING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING.]
[JENNY.]
I just don't understand.
[JACKIE.]
What did you think was goin' on? [JENNY.]
Did you think had some kind of an arrangement? Like an agreement? Are you really gonna look me in the eye, Jackie, and tell me you thought that what you were doing was okay? I just don't understand how you could lie like that to another person.
I understand lying I understand lying to yourself.
But how you ignore that sense of empathy that just tells you "no.
" I don't get that.
Or maybe that's the part of you that scares me the most.
Jennifer I tried being with another man.
Don't Don't say anything.
Listen to me.
I tried.
I I was there with him and I just kept thinkin' about you.
How it'd make you feel, how it'd make me feel, and I felt I felt awful, I felt sick to my stomach.
All you were thinkin' about then was yourself.
Not me, Jennifer.
You.
Yourself.
Wanna know what I really thought? I thought I didn't feel anything for you.
But I was wrong.
And now I really don't understand how you could be with all those other women unless you really didn't feel anything for me at all.
No, that's not true.
I do.
I do.
Okay, then how could you come into our house, look me in the face, and not feel awful? Look at me.
Really look.
Do I look like anything like the guy that you married? Look at my face.
I mean, look hard.
It shows.
What shows? The sins.
The loathing.
Jackie, if you really want us to work again be that man I always thought you were.
I don't know.
If you really feel that way, maybe you should just stay here.
What is this shit? Didn't know you still worked here.
The guns.
From Fall River? The FBI selling them at auction? Are you kiddin'? Are we fuckin' gun dealers now? What are you, afraid they're going to Israel? Money funneled to the Contras? What? Thi This happens all the time.
What the fuck do you mean? After the FBI takes their cut, the money goes to the Signa family.
Well, I know his wife.
She isn't gonna accept your fuckin' blood money.
Then she'll be the first.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
Ah.
What, you got a date? Nah.
I wanna talk to ya.
How many things of mine are you and your husband gonna break? [CHUCKLES.]
Don't change the subject, Ma.
Just be careful.
I'm 49 years old, you still tell me what to do in my own house? [LAUGHS.]
So this is your house now? Yeah, even Quasimodo felt a sense of ownership about Notre Dame.
So what does that make me, huh? Oh, you poor, poor girl who had such a terrible mother all her life.
Get off your cross, Ma.
Hey, what does that INRI above your head stand for? I always seem to forget.
I had to take this shit from your daughter, and your husband, and now you? Fine.
But when I fuckin' croak, you better not come cryin' over my grave, 'cause I'll reach through the ground and fuckin' strangle ya.
Oh, you don't know how right you are.
Are you loaded right now? No, that's what you are.
You're the fuckin' hand reachin' up through the grave.
[CHUCKLES OF DISBELIEF.]
Oh Oh, my God.
I've spent my whole life pretendin'.
Oh, here we go.
Pretending I wasn't ashamed.
Pretending nothin' happened.
You made me do that.
You made be believe it was my fault.
- And here ya are.
- Oh! Ahh! My God! You've been the fear my whole fuckin' life! What Dad did, that happened, and it ended.
But you you were there every fuckin' day! They should put you in Bridgewater! You're not runnin' out on me.
Not this time! You're gonna stay here and you're gonna listen to what I have to say.
You're my mother.
You were supposed to protect me.
- I protected you.
- Oh, you still fuckin' talkin'? I was a little girl, and every day of my life I've been afraid.
You don't think I was afraid? That's the problem right there.
You were afraid.
There was never any thought about me! You godawful bitch! What are you saying? Pack your shit and get out.
Are you fuckin' kidding? I want you out of this house! This is my fucking house! Think for a second, Ma, about who I married.
I learned a few things over the years.
If you're not out of this house by tomorrow - You little bitch.
- No, I will burn this fuckin' house down with you inside! You don't have the tits to do that.
Yeah.
More than that, I will get away with it, too.
How'd you know I'd still be here? No rest for the wicked.
Which means that the hero can't sleep too good, either.
What's keepin' you? Jimmy Ryan.
His trial's a formality.
Formality for Fall River? This was never about Revere, it was never about the three shitbums in that armored car.
It wasn't even about Kelly Kinicki for that matter.
This was about sending a big "fuck you" to the ones that never listened to you.
This was about bein' heard.
Look.
You and I both know those guys were involved in what happened in Revere.
All right? But who else? Who else knows that? I can send 'em away for Fall River, but if I can't prove that they killed those guards in Revere, then I'm just gonna look like I politicized a grand jury just to get myself a big case.
Granted, it's what I did do, but I can't appear that way.
No, in this fuckin' city, you can do anything and get away with it.
You can lie, you can cheat, you can steal, you can leave a woman to drown in your fuckin' car and still get elected.
No, Ted Kennedy had something I don't.
Hmm.
All right, let's look at James Brown then.
The night that Martin Luther King gets shot, every city with more than 15 black people in it burns to the fuckin' ground, but James Brown's got a concert in Boston.
So Mayor White says to him, "Put the show on PBS.
People stay home, Boston doesn't go up in smoke.
" And why did the Godfather of Soul do us that favor? Ten grand in a fuckin' paper bag.
He took the money.
And did you know that story before I told you? No.
But if you had heard that story, what you woulda heard is that that was the night that James Brown saved Boston.
What did you want, Ward? I mean, honestly, what did you think you were gonna be able to do here? When this started, another ADA told me nobody would touch the Revere Beach case.
Why? Because police would hear the same thing out of every witness' mouth: "I didn't see nothin'.
" Code of silence.
They just accepted it.
I had thought I could prove 'em wrong.
And, Jackie, I can.
But this fuckin' Jimmy Ryan, he'll only talk if I give him immunity.
You worked with him? Yeah.
Yeah, I worked with Jimmy Ryan.
Is he reliable? No.
So, I should not give him immunity? Honestly Jimmy Ryan is an an unredeemable cunt and a liar.
He's a fuckin' rat.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[RACHEL.]
You can't keep this pace up.
I already had to bury one of you.
[HUMORLESS CHUCKLE.]
What I wouldn't give to smell a disgusting Italian sub right now and know that the old man is right behind me.
What do you think he'd tell you? Oh Take the victory.
Put 'em away for Fall River.
Uh get back to work.
Then what are you waiting for? You said you know how to hurt Jackie.
Well, I mean, there's nothing that I can prove yet, but if you wanted to get dirty? Why Why Why would Jackie Rohr tell me not to offer his informant immunity? Maybe he's looking out for ya? No, no, no, maybe he's John Paul Jones.
Maybe he hasn't even begun to fuck me.
M-Maybe Jimmy Ryan knows something about Jackie that we don't.
You wanna know what I would do here? Fuck.
Jackie.
Rohr.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
I should give Ryan immunity.
Let the shithead sing.
[DECOURCY.]
How would you describe the defendant? [JIMMY.]
Uh, he's a family man.
[DECOURCY.]
Who just so happens to rob armored cars? - Objection.
Leading.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
[JUDGE.]
Sustained.
[DECOURCY.]
I'll rephrase.
Does your brother do anything to augment his salary as a produce manager at Purity Supreme? [WHISPERING.]
I don't want you to see this.
I didn't get to say goodbye to my father.
[JIMMY.]
Yes.
He robs armored cars.
I'm not letting that happen to me again.
[DECOURCY.]
How do you feel about your brother? - I love my brother.
- [DECOURCY.]
You two get along? Taken care of me all my life.
[DECOURCY.]
Ah, so you look up to him.
- Yeah, always.
- Hmm.
He taught you about "The Code"? [JIMMY.]
The Code? The Code of Silence? Yeah.
[DECOURCY.]
But here you are, Mr.
Ryan.
[STAMMERING.]
Yeah, I-I want to make people understand that my brother is not a bad guy.
He's not.
He loves his family, and I believe he did what he did to protect them.
Which is what in this instance? My brother and I participated in a number of robberies.
Rarely was anyone hurt.
But in the case of the Revere Beach armored car robbery, the, uh the guards ascertained the identity of my brother and his accomplices.
And-And he and Thomas Hayes killed 'em.
[SPECTATORS MURMURING.]
[FARISI.]
Your Honor, a recess? - [JUDGE.]
Granted.
- [GAVEL STRIKES.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[FRANKIE.]
I'm guessing he got a plea? [FARISI.]
That's a fair assumption.
If my dear brother perjures himself on the stand, his deal go away? I'd imagine so.
Ask him about Kelly Kinicki.
You follow the news at all, Mr.
Ryan? When I can.
Are you familiar with the missing persons case for a Mr.
Kelly Kinicki? Objection.
Relevance? Ironic that Mr.
Ward should object, Your Honor, when the Grand Jury is what lead to my client's arrest.
Irony does not define relevance, Mr.
Farisi.
You need to do better.
I'm just trying to establish the character of the witness, Mr.
Kinicki is a known associate of the defendant.
[JUDGE.]
Objection overruled.
- Your Honor, a recess? - Denied.
[FARISI.]
Did you know Mr.
Kinicki well? - Yeah, sure.
- Excuse me? Yes, I knew him.
Uh-huh.
How did you know him? We grew up together.
Was he, um, a criminal associate of yours? - Objection.
- [JUDGE.]
Overruled.
- [FARISI.]
Was he? - You got my records.
No, no, records don't tell the whole story.
They don't.
They don't.
[STAMMERING.]
Maybe a kind policeman offered to You callin' me a rat? [FARISI.]
Well, what are you doing here right now? Your Honor Your Honor.
Mr.
Ward, your witness was smart enough to open the door, let's see if he can get through.
[JUDGE.]
Sit down.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[FARISI.]
You know Mr.
Kinicki is missing? [JIMMY.]
Yeah, obviously.
[FARISI GRUNTS.]
Do you know how he went missing? You're under oath, Mr.
Ryan.
Do you know what happened to Kelly Kinicki? [MUSIC SWELLS.]
[SIGHS.]
Yeah.
I killed Kelly Kinicki.
[FARISI.]
And why did you do that? Because he was a State Police informant.
[FARISI.]
Kinda like you now.
Yeah.
He was a rat, just like me.
Did Jackie know this? About Kinicki? Nah, it never came up.
He told me not to trust you.
Yeah, you're not too good at listenin'.
See, I'm not a very good listener, either.
They warned me.
They said, "He always gets away with it.
" Yeah, my deal's still good though, right? [DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[HORN HONKS.]
[TIRES SQUEAL.]
- Ya fuckin' bitch.
- All right You fuckin' bitch.
All those years of crocodile tears and you helped bury him, you whore! Are you fucking kidding me? You fuckin' kidding me?! Get the fuck out of here.
You're gonna fuckin' put your hands on me? You're gonna come here actin' like I don't fuckin' know you? I fuckin' know you, you cunt! I've known you your whole fuckin' life.
You're garbage! [SPITS.]
Your whole fuckin' family's garbage.
Your husband was garbage and a fuckin' rat.
You better take your tired, ugly fuckin' ass away from my fuckin' house.
Do you hear me?! Before I finish the job of makin' your faggot worthless piece-of-shit kid a fuckin' orphan.
- Get the fuck outta here! - [BABSIE CRYING.]
Get your shit together! [PANTING.]
Get my shit together like you, huh? Yeah, fuckin' look at yourself! So, ya happy? Ah, yeah, sure.
No, you're not.
But you gave me a lotta relief.
That was the funniest fuckin' thing I ever seen.
Dee Ward looked worse than your brother.
And now for as long as ya live, no one'll ever trust ya again.
But I trust you, Jimmy.
I'll always trust you.
Don't get any ideas, friend of mine.
I got a get-out-of-jail-free card.
- Why would I bother with ya now? - Mm-hm.
Keep bein' smart, Jimmy.
Keep bein' smart.
[CATHY.]
Hey.
What the fuck you doin' here? I want her to watch.
I want her to see her father take whatever comes like a man.
And I want her to remember that, so when she sees her mother today, she knows to never to find herself having to bring her own daughter to court to watch her husband get put away.
[BAILIFF.]
All rise.
No matter what happens, you never let anybody know how you feel, you understand? [JUDGE.]
Has the jury reached the unanimous verdict? Yes, Your Honor.
[CLERK.]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[HANDCUFFS CLICK.]
I can tell them, Ma.
I can talk to them.
That's not how it works, sweetheart.
But I saw him, I saw him do it.
You saw what? What did you see? I saw Uncle Jimmy hit Kelly.
I know you did, baby.
Then why is Dad going to jail? [SIGHS.]
'Cause your father got caught.
How? 'Cause Uncle Jimmy told the police on him.
But Uncle Jimmy killed somebody.
Yeah, they know that.
I'm gonna tell you somethin'.
No one cares.
The people that are in charge, they got what they wanted, and that's all that matters, and they don't give a shit about the rest.
What about us? What'd your father always say? "I'll take care of it.
" Yeah.
And now it's our turn to do that.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[OFFICER.]
I don't know how you managed to pull this shit off, ya bastard.
You conned a nigger prosecutor.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
Yeah.
Why? You got any bodies hanging over your head? Because I got the get-out-of-jail-free card.
I'll fuckin' cop to 'em for ya.
[OFFICER.]
Oh, you're a fuckin' prince, Jimmy.
[JACKIE.]
Slide 'em in the trunk, will ya, Bart? Oh! What's this? Did you finally have that stroke? Do you even know what day it is? She won't let me into my own home.
- Who? - Jennifer Marie.
Your daughter? Your own daughter threw you out on the street? What could you have possibly have done to deserve that kind of treatment from your own daughter? Enough bullshit.
I helped you! And do you know why you were able to do that? Because no matter how bad I treated that woman, there was nothing I could do that was any worse than what you've done.
And you think that now, for the first time in her life, she stands on her hind legs and I'm gonna knock her back? Nah.
I don't think so.
You're just like everyone.
You can't seem to learn that you ain't that good and I ain't that bad.
I got nowhere to go! You know, ya look pretty good for an old broad.
Yeah.
I mean, once ya once ya clean up.
So, here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna get you a corner on the other side of the Common.
You stand out there for a few hours, and whatever money you make, you give me 60%, and I will take real good fuckin' care of ya.
You fuckin' pig! - Thanks, Bart.
- Take care, Jackie.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello? [JOSH.]
Decourcy.
Uh Jos Josh, hey, you don't you don't have to say anything.
I'm sorry.
You understand? - Y-Yeah.
- The way that trial went, I know the reality of what happened, but your opposition will destroy us for the deal you cut with that man.
Nah Hey, you don't you don't have to explain, I get it.
You You can't back a candidate for City Council who just gave a killer immunity.
Thanks for making this easy on me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[DISCONNECTS.]
[SIOBHAN.]
Who was that? [DECOURCY.]
My former campaign manager.
He calls now? Now? Are you really surprised that Josh would take the opportunity to fuck me in the ass? - Heh heh heh.
- [SIOBHAN SIGHS.]
I feel like such a fool.
[SIGHS.]
Things are bad now, but - They'll only get worse.
- Baby They gave me the rope, and I proved them all right.
Everything they said about me, even the shit that wasn't true, I managed to prove them right.
And there isn't a single one of 'em who won't take the opportunity to make sure that I know they didn't need to kill me, I did the killing myself.
You took a beating.
What did you tell me when I couldn't get an offer from a single law firm? What did you tell me when I cried? - Siobhan.
- What did you say to me? - Don't do this.
- What did you say? It's easier to bleed than to sweat.
That's right.
It's from an old Poitier movie.
The line's still apt.
Feel bad for yourself tonight.
And get up tomorrow and go back to work.
I honestly don't think I can.
You were proud enough to take the risk, to put us in this position.
Be proud enough to accept the loss.
Nah, [STAMMERING.]
I just can't take feeling this dirty! We've all been dirty.
No, no.
You know I-I just need to be honest with you.
To feel like I can stand to breathe, I need to be honest with someone.
And I fucked that up before and it Nothing's fucked for good.
Because I'm I'm here.
I'm vulnerable here.
And I-I can't take the idea of you seeing me like this and and not trusting me enough to do the same.
I love you.
You trust me? I couldn't love you without that.
[JACKIE.]
And this fuckin' kid is shitting in his fuckin' pants.
We're driving to a fuckin' bank robbery, and he's driving like he works for the IRS.
I had I had to reach over and hit the fuckin' gas pedal - with my foot.
- [KEENAN.]
Question is, why weren't you driving? Why is nobody asking that question, Jack? Slander.
I have never taken a drink in my life.
- I work for the FBI.
- [LAUGHTER.]
The kid ratted out his own brother.
Ryan, Jimmy Ryan.
Unbelievable.
Well, like you once told me, things aren't what they used to be.
And you look like the hero.
Some things never change.
[JACKIE.]
Oh, fuck! Jesus.
The fuckin' This motherfuckin' watch.
I tell ya, Salvy, they never give you enough credit.
You were smart to get out.
Very smart.
Jackie, they forced me out.
Why do you think I tried to warn ya? The whole "you're fuckin' up your life" thing.
They forced you out for what? Informant went bad.
Oh, fuck me.
- Are you kidding me? - [JACKIE.]
Oh! This is the Tongs did that! - [CLASBY.]
In lipstick? - Hang on, I got an idea.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[DIALING.]
- [WOMAN.]
Hello? Jackie? - Hello.
Hey, put your husband on the phone.
Put your fuckin' husband on the phone! - All right, take it easy.
- [MAN.]
Yeah, what? Hey, it's Rohr.
Listen, I need a car.
- Where are you? - Down the Financial District.
- What? - Red sedan.
- Really? - Down by Washington.
Oh.
All right, all right.
Hey, we're in luck.
Did I tell you that I got fuckin' mugged? I did.
Fuckin' couple three smokes, fuckin' two-by-four.
But you know, what really bothered me is how fuckin' dumb they were.
There's a nice car, illegally parked, situation just screamed cop, and they couldn't read the fuckin' situation.
I mean, even moolies at least be smarter than that.
It was just a better class of criminal.
What's gonna happen when we got 'em all? Well, what do ya think all this hollering about the Confidential Informant Program is? They already got all the illegitimate guys.
All that's left now is the half-legitimate guys.
- Meaning us.
- Yep! Meaning us.
Ta-da! [CLASBY.]
Whose car is this? It's an informant's.
What did I just tell you happened to me? It happened to you, it didn't happen to me.
[SCOFFS.]
[KEYS JINGLE.]
Unlock the door.
[LOCK CLICKS.]
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
[JACKIE.]
Ohh.
[ENGINE TURNS OVER.]
What the fuck?! [COUGHS.]
- [JACKIE LAUGHS.]
- [CLASBY.]
Fucker! [LAUGHING.]
Are you laughing? How do you fuck up a car bomb? - [LAUGHS.]
- You'll never learn.
Oh, wait.
No, Salvy! But we got away! Sal, we got [LAUGHS.]
So what would you have me do with you? Depends on what you want.
If you want me gone, I'm goin'.
I have no argument against my dismissal.
Well, that's very magnanimous of you.
If you want me to stay, your options widen.
See, how we present what happened is all a matter of perception.
Kelly Kinicki was a case the BPD couldn't solve.
I ate shit on that.
But Kinicki happened before Charles Stuart.
Stuart happened.
Hiring practices changed.
I'm hired.
Then the new guy manages to put away a Charlestown gang for three murders.
Three.
Ward, lay off the bullshit.
Christ, you're not Jackie Rohr.
You're not that good at it.
Not yet.
No, we're not gonna get rid of you that easy.
We hired you for a reason.
I appreciate that, Chief.
[CHATTER.]
You know the last thing I wanted to do when I took this job? Guns and drug cases, I imagine.
Is that what they're giving you now? You think they'd miss that opportunity? Yeah, we work a lot of guns and drugs.
We could do a lot of good with a sympathetic prosecutor.
I heard.
Dee Ward, finally figured out where you belong, huh? [RACHEL.]
Hey.
You still feeling self-pity? Maybe.
Get over yourself.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
I've been working this file on Jackie.
Now, what I have is circumstantial, but it could be valuable to you.
You know, if you still have some people you wanna say "fuck you" to.
[JACKIE.]
And I look at this killer, Donato Angiulo, - and I say to him - "Irony abounds.
" [JACKIE.]
Why? Why didn't ya listen to me? Because the fact occurred to me that every word out of your mouth since we met was total bullshit.
- I really thought ya understood.
- What, bullshit? That this whole town is bullshit.
I mean, look around ya.
What do you think this place we're sittin' right here is named after? A book about Mayor Curley.
Right.
Spencer Tracy played him in the movie.
The lovable old mayor who robbed this city blind.
And what did Curley name his own book? "I'd Do It Again!" Which in context means, "I'd steal it all over again.
" How did he got away with it? He took care of people.
You would've taken care of me? If you'd listened to me, yeah.
And here I was this whole time, I thought you respected me.
Ah, Dee.
Don't make me feel bad.
Do you feel bad? Hmm? Would you do it again if you had the chance? Probably, yeah, I'd do it again.
So, you're happy with how everything turned out? You're happy? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm happy.
No you're not.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER IN BACKGROUND.]
Didn't you ever wonder what Jimmy Ryan told me to get him immunity? You're full of shit.
Maybe.
Maybe I'm waitin'.
Dee, nobody listened to King Kong after he made a thud on the sidewalk.
Yeah, but I haven't even begun to scale the building yet and show this town my ass.
But the day will come.
And maybe I don't come after you.
Maybe you decide to come after me.
I'll be waitin'.
Friend.
