Lights Out s01e11 Episode Script

Previously on Lights Out Coffee, fellas? No.
We need a word with your brother.
What's going on? I have no idea.
Mommy, why are they taking daddy? A couple of people in Morris township say I crashed their brunch Saturday and broke their host's arm.
I may know a guy who can put this to bed.
You'll drop off a treat.
Okay.
Who's that man with aunt Margaret? Yeah Hey, hey, hey.
Something's wrong.
Somehow my sister knows about the job I did for you.
I thought that was between us.
Police are still searching for a suspect in the attack on Patrick "Lights" Leary.
All goes well, I'll be back to full-time training in a month.
A month? You do know your fight is in two.
August 14th.
Listen, if I wanted to push myself, how soon could I get back to training? Your insides have to heal.
You go back too soon, twist the wrong way, there's a risk of internal bleeding.
Mommy doesn't need a job.
Something came up with Johnny.
I have to go.
Now? Nice to see you, doc.
You too.
You're not really gonna retire before we settle things.
I gave you your chance.
No, I gave you your chance.
No, I dominated the division for five years.
Yeah.
All you are is Barry's little houseboy.
I guess it can't go wrong with plain white.
It makes it easier to replace.
Forget about how much gets broken.
You'd be amazed by how much disappears.
We've probably stocked half the kitchens in Bayonne.
Including pops and Johnny.
You know, carrying heavy things is what boyfriends are good for.
Oh, I could've called him, but he'd just offer to buy me new supplies.
Thanks for being my pack lean.
Thanks for getting me out.
Theresa and the girls are all home on vacation.
A lot of women in that house right now.
I love it.
Hey, champ.
Champ! You remember me? Jerry "the Rainmaker" Raynes! Hey, champ.
Yeah.
It's been a long time.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, you remember my sister, Margaret.
Hey.
Oh, wow.
How can I forget a beauty like that? Good to see you, champ.
How you doing, Jerry? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm getting by.
Hey! Hey, you need a, uh, sparring partner, huh, Lights? Huh? I can still make it rain.
Are you kidding me? Getting punched by you was like getting kicked in the head by a horse.
Hey Hey, look! Two champs! Huh? Two champs.
Get your picture taken.
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
He's gonna regret that, huh? Once I make my comeback.
Listen, Jer.

He's punchy, you know.
Well, I'm not gonna put him in the ring.
I just want to help the guy out.
Sterling silver.
Get 'em now, before the police confiscate 'em.
You had to learn the hard way what everybody knows you know I hate to be the one Oh! Oh, my God! to say I told you so Geez.
You know, in England, they play croquet.
Mm.
It's much more civilized.
They also eat kidneys.
Want me to have your dad throw some on the grill? No.
That that one's not done.
I'll burn one extra crispy just for you.
All right.
All right.
How's your wound healing? Better every day.
Good, good.
Grandpa! What? So how are they looking? Not as good as you.
Nice to see you in a good mood.

Let's just get through the day.
Okay.

Not for him.
We start training in a week.
Oh, come on, pops.
No beer? It's Fourth of July.
That's un-American.
I'll take it.
Yeah, right.
Give him a beer.
Unh-unh.
Not as long as your mom is suing me.
Let him have a beer.
Robert, would you like one? The chicken's really good, dad.
Learys.
It's Brent.
She says she can't come to the phone.
Okay.
Bye.
Daddy, when are the fireworks? When the sun goes down, sweetie.
Just like last year, so we can see them.
Want to see some right now? Go like this.
Don't look at him.
He's a bad influence.
Hey, did you guys know that in England, they celebrate Guy Fawkes day? Watch your mouth.
Shut up.
Really? They have these great fireworks, and I was thinking that maybe we could I don't know, like, make a big family trip out of it.
What? The English have better fireworks than we do too? Is there anything over there you didn't like? Come on.
I'm just saying it's a really wonderful country.
And mom, there's some great boarding schools.
Oh, no, no way.
There's actually an August Shakespeare seminar in Stratford.
Really? What? Who is he? I just like culture.
Does this culture have a name? I did meet a guy, actually.
Oh, really? His name is Raphe.
Raphe? And he comes from a really good family, andI don't know, he wants to go to Oxford or Cambridge or something for, like, lawyers or barristers.
I don't know.
One of the good ones.
Bring him over.
We'll give him a boxing lesson.
Hooray for the boxing barrister.
Ralph? Ralph? Shut up.
What kind of name is that? Idiot.
Thanks, guys.
Good Irish family.
Did you meet aunt Theresa's family? Dylan.
Dylan, we're her family.
Your home's here anyway, honey.
God bless America U.
S.
A.
! U.
S.
A.
! U.
S.
A.
! land that I love I think everyone had a good time.
Good.
How long are you gonna stay mad at me? I already apologized.
Oh.
Well, then I guess everything's just fine.
Theresa, what do you want from me? I don't know.
Maybe a little respect.
Like when I'm graduating from medical school or when Dr.
Wilson comes to our home.
I just didn't like that guy telling you not to become a doctor.
That's what you've always wanted.
He didn't want me to give up my residency, Patrick.
I went to him for advice and help.
I told you we're gonna be fine.
It's only eight more weeks.
Once we get through the fight Yeah, yeah.
I know, I know.
Everything will be okay and we'll all live happily ever after.
And personal attention will assure your successful real estate Hey, champ.
What are you doing here? I've brought you some leftovers from my family's barbecue.
You never came by the gym or I would have invited you.
Oh, is that coming by? Listen, I've got a big fight coming up, on Labor Day.
I could surely use your help.
How about a morning shift? Whoa, hold on, hold on.
Let me see If I don't If I don't write it down, it's gone.
Okay.
Leary's.
There we go.
It's in here.
Now it'll happen.
Hey, sit down.
Sit down.
Yeah.
It's nice to have a visitor.
There you go.
So, did you see any fireworks? No.
No.
Oh, these days, sometimes I see flashes of light, you know, popping around me anywhere, anytime.
That doesn't sound good, Jer.
No, it's No.
No, it's nothing.
No, it's It's like, uh It's like You know, it's like getting to see fireworks year-round.
It's neat.
You mind if I turn that up for a second? Unh-unh.
News out of Morristown this morning.
Councilman Randall Hess, who was brought in for questioning over the weekend in the burgeoning prostitution scandal that has rocked the county, was released this morning.
Councilman Hess made no statement as he exited Police headquarters.
Whoa.
That guy's in for some fireworks from the wife, huh? Yeah.
Stupid bastard.
Well, this gym is a house of champions.
It's where my brother trains.
Absolutely.
Come on by.
Have a look.
I'll tell him.
Thanks.
Some fat guy says good luck.
Where'd this come from? Took the liberty of using some of Brennan's advance on it.
It's a sound investment.
This place is gonna be crawling with press soon.
Let's get the landing some TV time.
Your dream.
Making a comeback, just like you.
You okay? Your stitches bugging you? It's not that.
What is it? Did you hear about the councilman that was picked up in that prostitution ring? Oh, man, Lights.
You? Whores? Come on.
I know, right? They should be paying you.
So? Why you care about this for? The dentist thing.
When I got picked up.
Yeah.
I thought that went away.
The D.
A.
decided not to press charges after I gave the councilman a cake box from Brennan.
Jesus.
That was his kid's birthday party? Mm-hmm.
Well, if this guy's talking, then I'll testify that I made the drop.
It should've been me anyway.
I can handle this.
I'm serious.
God knows I owe you.
And you can't make us $10 million from a jail cell.
I said I'll handle this.
And keep this in your bag.
For emergencies.
Unscrew the bottom.
You been holding out on me? July 4th bet on Wimbledon.
Don't be mad.
You know, Ava knows a lot about tennis.
I don't know if I can buy my way out of this one.
Keep it.
I haven't met a problem yet that money couldn't solve.
[ Laughs Hey, big brother.
Can I get you something? I'm not hungry.
Could you give us a minute please? Okay, let me know if you change your mind.
Hey, you need to be here? When you need.
How's your stomach healing? You must be anxious to get back.
You see this? Ah! Poor dumb schmuck.
They probably took him out of his house during the family barbecue.
Why would they do that? They don't bust Johns when they take out a cat house.
Unless they wanted the guy for something bigger.
May be, who knows Jersey politics, the state, the corruption It's bottomless.
.
You're not worried he may be talking? No, why would I be? I even think someone's dirty I make a point of keeping my distance.
I've never met this man.
Have you? Patrick? Yeah? You have a visitor.
Where is he? Councilman.
Nice house.
You're a lucky man.
Can I help you? I don't know if you've seen the news, but I had a bit of a bad break over the weekend.
Sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
My son you came to his birthday party, remember? He tells me you have a big fight coming up.
You're gonna get your belt back.
Hope so.
So do I.
And I wouldn't want anything to interfere with that.
I wouldn't let that happen.
All right.
Let's cut the shit, okay? I've taken one bribe from you and I need another.
If I'm gonna fall on my sword, my family needs to be taken care of.
Now, councilman I know you're under a lot of pressure, but I think you have me confused with someone else.
If you ever come here again, I'm gonna have to go to the police.
Do you understand me? All right.
10 seconds.
Turn it up.
Come on.
I got Dylan jumping faster rope than that.
Let's go! All right.
Good.
Get your wraps on.
We'll hit the bag in five minutes.
Hey, champ.
How is that cut feeling? Better every day.
How's Jerry doing? Ah, he's a real sweetheart.
He always was.
Look at him.
He was born to this.
God, that guy love the fight.
Indeed.
You came to me, long after he lost his belt.
You want me to train you? Yeah, you'd be great with it.
Ah, I-I couldn't bring myself to it.
He'd already taken too many fights and was starting to slip.
God, what a shame.
I feel kind of responsible.
When we fought, I hit him hard.
He just wouldn't go down.
Hey, boxers box.
It's what they do.
He's the only one that could've kept himself out of the ring.
I just want to do right by him, you know? I think it's good to have him around.
He'll be able to remind the guys to be smart enough to know when to stop.
Hey, champ.
Oh, look at these flunks.
You and I should get in there, show them how it's done.
No can do, Jerry.
I'm still healing.
Yeah.
God.
God, I miss this.
I'd do anything just to throw some punches again.
Excuse me.
I couldn't help but overhear.
Mr.
Raynes, I'd love to go a few rounds with you.
Oh, yeah? Oh, hey.
Hey, that'd be great.
I-I don't think that's a good idea.
He'll kill you, junior.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I'll go easy on him.
You know, uh, even at your easiest, Jerry, you'll still knock him through a wall.
Just one round, then.
It'd be an honor even to get knocked down by the rainmaker.
Yeah.
You got, uh, you got some gear I can borrow? I said no.
What's the problem? We want to.
Hit the showers, Jerry.
It's just for fun! Jerry, you can't do this.
Wait a minute! You you You don't know what I can do, all right? Hey, calm down, Jerry.
No! Don't tell me what to do! You don't know what I can do, all right? You don't know what I can do! Easy, champ.
Don't tell me what to do! Everybody's telling me what I can and cannot do! Don't touch me! Don't don't touch me! Jerry All right! Hey! Hey, hey! Easy.
Hey! Hey! Take it easy, champ.
Easy, champ.
Easy.
Relax.
Relax, buddy.
Huh? You all right? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Breathe.
Oh.
It's okay.
I'm sorry everybody.
It's okay.
Champ, let me give you a ride home, huh? You can get some rest.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay, Jerry.
It's okay.
Listen, I, uh, I don't think it's a good idea for you to come around here anymore.
For your own good.
He's right, champ.
Okay.
Okay.
Come on.
Let's get you home.
Sorry.
Gus.
I take it you're here alone.
Just a word, champ.
I hear you had a friend of ours at your house last night.
He did the talking, not me.
Councilman Hess is a desperate man doing desperate things.
He's been cooperating with some joint task force, and they're moving fast.
They picked up a D.
A.
yesterday.
Jesus.
He hasn't been indicted yet, which could mean he's cooperating, too.
I got money.
What's the number? Good for you.
But once things get this far, it doesn't help.
Can't your boss make this go away? What boss? I own a bar.
I'm my own boss, just like you.
We handle our own business.
You understand? How much can the councilman Look, I used to box, you know? But the first time I threw a fight, they knew I'd throw another one.
Stop asking questions, Lights.
People are gonna start to see you as chatty.
Whoa, whoa.
What the hell is going on? Easy, Mr.
Leary.
We have a search warrant.
Your wife knows.
What are you taking? It's all there.
And how did you get the money to bribe the councilman? Hal Brennan took it out of my fee.
Hal Brennan? Margaret's boyfriend? That's who hired you to beat up his dentist? And now he's your partner in the fight.
We had to pay off Barry Word to delay the fight when I got hurt.
$500,000.
Oh, Christ, Patrick.
You don't have to say anything.
What I've done Makes me sick.
So how long have you been carrying this around? Since March.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what to say.
Okay, okay.
We're in it now.
Let's just think this through.
What are they gonna find in what they took from the house? There's nothing to find.
These guys don't send e-mails.
Who booked you for the kid's birthday party? Johnny got a call.
So there's no paper trail.
It's a "he said/he said" case.
I'm sorry, baby.
You think Yeah.
Okay, listen.
If they question you, you weren't even supposed to be at that party.
Your friend Jerry You you said he's a little punchy, right? Well, he's he's a champ.
He was supposed to be there, but he couldn't make it, so you subbed for him.
That's that's all it was.
Unless the councilman has something.
Video, I don't know, something.
I think that's what Brennan's worried about.
Just how much of you does Brennan own? 15%.
I'm sorry, Theresa.
No.
No.
You got lucky.
You're worth more to him alive than you are dead.
Hey, Margaret, where is he? Not here.
You okay? No.
Here.
Sit.
Come.
Pie makes everything better.
SoHow's it been having Jerry around the gym? Well, except for when he threw a 10-pound weight at my head, it's been great.
Coffee? God.
Makes you think, don't it? You know, there but for the grace of God.
Pat, it was no accident running into Jerry at the flea market.
What do you mean? I saw him and called you because I wanted you to see him.
How he is.
Daniella told you.
Patrick, you are a grown man.
You have grown up around a boxing gym.
You're no stranger to this.
You know what it is, where it goes.
I'm fine.
Yeah, you don't seem at all gone now.
But only you are gonna know when it comes.
I just wanted you to look at Jerry and remember what's at stake.
You can't even keep a secret anymore.
I can and I'll skip the shame on you to put this on your 14 year old daughter.
I just want you to know you can come to me with anything.
When it comes to this, you don't have to do this alone.
Thanks, Margaret.
I mean it.
Do me a favor? Drop dad's laundry at the house? Anything for you, champ.
Good morning.
I've been looking for you.
I know.
I want to make sure we're on the same page here.
You know what I say when things like this come up? God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Yeah.
That's not helpful.
You're a lucky man, Lights.
See, I lost my family.
You got a wonderful wife, three beautiful daughters, a father, brother Sister who care very deeply about you.
I hate to think what they'd do without you.
You don't have to worry about anything.
I worry about everything.
One person connects me to this I worry.
Don't.
See, that makes me anxious about you.
Two guys connect you to this.
There's that clerk at the bakery.
And he's done talking.
And there's your friend the councilman.
He's at a hotel down by the shore, and he needs to stop talking.
Hey, champ.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
I took the wrong bus.
JerWhat are you doing here? It's right here.
See? Ah.
"Leary's gym, Monday to Friday, Today's Wednesday.
You're right.
It's right there.
Tell you what, Jerry.
Do me a favor.
Take a walk around the gym and just straighten up a little bit.
Do you mind? Alright, I'll do anything for you, champ.
What the hell is that? Yesterday he flicked a dime at your head.
Now you want him hanging around? Let me guess.
It never happened.
He's further gone than I thought.
He doesn't have anybody.
He needs our help.
We'll keep an eye on him.
Lights, you got a minute? Who's that? Agent Thompson, FBI.
How could I forget? Should I call a lawyer? You can, but I'm here unofficially.
I was wondering what you could tell me about councilman Randall Hess and his involvement with the district attorney.
I only know what I saw on the news.
We found boxing gloves signed by you at the councilman's house and at the D.
A.
's, along with this picture of you and the D.
A.
's kid.
I sign a lot of gloves.
It's all part of public appearances.
Well, that would have been a good cover story if the councilman had gone along with it.
But now we know that you paid him to middle a favor.
25 grand.
25 grand? Seriously? I don't have that kind of money.
You can check with the I.
R.
S.
Oh, we know you don't.
So we just want to know who gave it to you.
Wish I could help you.
Look, I know the world that you travel in.
There are some bad guys.
You need to start looking out for yourself.
I'm doing just fine.
Champ, in 24 hours, the circus is gonna be here Policemen, federal agents, maybe even a perp walk.
It doesn't have to go that way.
Help us out.
No one needs to know you're involved.
Thanks for your offer, but I can't help you.
You've got a $10 million fight in two months.
I'm gonna give you 24 hours to figure out how important that is to you.
After everything you've been through, I'd like to see you get there.
Who's your friend? FBI.
Yeah? Who do they want, Barry Word or Hal Brennan? Brennan.
How'd you know? So what are you gonna do? I don't know.
Listen, I've known guys like Brennan all my life.
Now, I'm not saying you have to fear them, but you you do have to respect them.
My friend says if I don't cooperate, they'll come tomorrow and arrest me.
Let them arrest you.
At least you'll be safe.
Look, the legal process takes time.
It's slow.
Anything can happen while you You just wait.
You hire the right lawyer in this country, you pay him enough, you stand a puncher's chance.
But that would mean there'd be no fight.
Oh, there'll be a fight, all right.
Don't worry.
The I.
R.
S.
wants to collect their tax money.
But if you think the FBI cares any more about you than Brennan does, you're fooling yourself.
You don't turn on somebody like Brennan.
I know.
I know.
I don't know if the latest rumors swirling around Patrick Leary are true, but at a certain point, where there's this much smoke, I mean, you got to wonder, right? The man got picked up by the police, then he got stabbed by a homeless man, and then he assaulted me.
And he's still supposed to be America's hero? - You know what this is about.
- Mm-hmm.
No more.
That's what I gotta say: "No more.
" I'm ending this career, on Labor Day.
Even if I got to go myself to do it.
Yeah? Dad, it's late.
I'm just thinking.
What are you doing up? I was just reading, and I heard you walk past my room.
Everything okay? Yeah.
Listen, I, um I know you told aunt Margaret about me.
Dad I You had to tell someone.
I'm just glad you were smart enough to talk to the right person.
Anytime you need to talk, you come to me or your aunt.
I shouldn't have put all that weight on you.
I hope you can forgive me.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have broken the promise.
It's okay.
Sometimes we do the wrong things for the right reasons.
Go to bed.
Okay.
Hey, hey, hey.
See there? You're working on your balance.
I can tell.
See, we all knew that was your, uh, your point of weakness, but not anymore.
Mr.
Leary.
A minute? Give me a second, will you, Jerry? Yeah.
Sure, champ.
We know when you went to the councilman that you were just the bag man.
Whose bag were you carrying? I don't know what you're talking about.
You're smarter than this, champ.
Must have taken too many punches to the head.
Well, let me spell it out for you.
Today I take you in for bribery of a public official.
But still on the table extortion.
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Your hands are registered.
You could be looking at more than 20 years in prison, Lights, and crippling fines.
Your purse gone.
You'll be ruined.
I'll be a real estate tycoon.
This isn't a joke, Mr.
Leary.
Turn around.
Come on.
Turn around.
Patrick Leary, you're under arrest for bribery of a public official.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.
Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you? Lights, I got the car waiting.
Meet me out front.
Come on.
Let's go.
Look alive.
Look alive.
Come on.
Keep up.
Keep up.
Hey! Didn't expect to see you.
Pop called me.
He tried to put up the house for your bail, but it's still in mom's name.
Can you believe that? So how? I put up the diner.
We're a family.
You're not alone.
Come on.
Where's pops? Waiting in my car.
You still got a lot of friends here.
They're letting you go out the back.
Hey, Hal asked about you.
He suggested you go down the shore to cool off for a couple of days.
Tell Hal not to worry.
I can take care of myself.
My car's at the gym.
Drop me there? Yeah.
Go ahead.
I got to grab something inside.
Are you sure? I'm fine.
Okay.
Hey, call me.

We were worried.
I went on a pub crawl with Johnny.
Hit every bar in Bayonne celebrating my release.
People were great.
Was that smart? According to Johnny.
A lot of people saw us.
He says I need to hold my head high.
I spoke to the girls.
Told them you're being set up.
Thanks.
We're gonna be okay, Theresa.
Patrick, I'm really worried.
We are.
I promise.
I love you.
Oh, Jesus.
Is he conscious? More or less.
Give us a minute, will you? Councilman, the bureau extends its fullest apologies for your endangerment.
They say I'm lucky I'm not in a coma Or dead.
What did you see? I feel okay Except I can't remember anything.
Anything for the last six months.
You are not helping yourself here.
I should rest.
You know the drugs.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hey, champ.
What brings you by? I came to give you this.
Am I stinky? It's a trick can.
You unscrew the bottom.
What's this for? My appreciation for all the work you did for me.
Did I? Well, you know me, Lights.
If I don't write it down It's like it never happened.
