Brotherhood s03e01 Episode Script
Uneasy Lies The Head
The memories that you've lost are probably gone for good.
I feel fine.
You get well.
You come back here.
Your business will be waiting for you.
You believe your brother's involved in organized crime programs? My brother owns a liquor store.
Look at each other.
Very nice.
Tommy, are you happy? Can we just table this until after the election? If something doesn't change, I'm gonna end up a bitter and nasty person.
I don't want to be that person.
You feel guilty? You know, Freddie told me not to do this.
Fuck Freddie.
Freddie's not my cousin.
I'm pregnant.
I can't I know you're trying to be nice .
You just need to drive me to the clinic, so I can do this.
You're useless right now, Giggs.
- You got problems at home.
- I know, don't care.
You're going to become Freddie Cork's dirty cop.
Once he trusts you, you're gonna turn around and serve him up to me.
Him, the Caffee brothers, the whole rat's nest.
They are slandering you, Tommy.
- It's politics, ma.
- Mr.
Mayor? Did you know the Mayor and the Governor were coming after me? I need a majority leader with a less - independent spirit.
- I'm gonna make you pay.
Not only will I keep my job, but I'm gonna take yours.
You and I have been good partners.
We've kept the peace.
We've both done well.
I want Michael Caffee dead.
What's it gonna take? Michael Caffee has agreed to become the T.
E.
C.
informant.
I'm gonna give you enough to put Freddie cork away for a long time.
You are a slippery eel, you know that? This is where the line gets a little hazy.
- What line? - The one between right and wrong.
I'm not sure my life has any meaning outside my family.
So I've decided I want to fight for it.
Do you? You don't quit the task force.
I'm trying.
Good.
Your brother's the lead story on the 6:00 news.
My brother's got nothing to do with me.
Michael knows that you're the one who tried to whack him.
If it weren't for your brother, you might have had me.
Some things can't stand the light of day.
I knew Freddie was gonna kill you that night at the wedding.
I knew and I never told you.
Meanwhile, environmental groups here at home met with congressman and senators from Washington, D.
C.
to try and convince them to focus on Let's hit the road.
Michael, did you take your medication? doped up, don't ya? - Did you take it? I took the fucking medication, all right? Get off my back.
We all know the state of Rhode Island is in serious financial trouble.
Get him off.
Get the fuck off my TV.
Get the fuck Get a bigger one.
Mr.
Carvalho, do you know what a proffer is? You tell us everything bad you've ever done, with whom and when.
In return for which we will put a 5K1 in your file that will go to the judge.
And hopefully influence him to reduce your sentence.
"Hopefully?" My minister says we live on hope.
Mr.
Speaker? In here.
I'd give a million bucks for a good crap.
Carvalho's yakking to the US Attorney's to get his sentence reduced.
We need to preempt the prick.
I want you to I want you to organize a special committee to investigate allegations into the corruption in the awarding of state contracts The usual dog and pony show.
You, get me some toilet paper.
If Carvalho talks, we're gonna need more than the usual dog and pony show.
We should fund a high-priority investigation by the state police.
How do we control it? We'll appoint a friendly.
Someone who I know the guy.
He'll bitch and moan about doing the right thing, but in the end he'll give us what we want.
Set it up.
And then I need you to talk to Panzarella.
The man is making unpleasant noises about needing more money for the city.
There is no more money.
You make that clear to him, OK? Last thing I need is a public feud with the fuckin' mayor.
Can I get some paper towel, please? Thank you.
You got that? Good.
Now, I need you to contact a guy named, Martin Kilpatrick.
He's a schoolteacher turned developer.
He wants to turn the waterfront into our very own riviera.
Humor him, huh? You're good at that.
Driver's license? How about a birth certificate? Birth certificate? This is ridiculous.
I've gotta learn Spanish.
How can I help these poor people if I can't speak their language? What kind of ice cream should I get? Rose's birthday party.
Right.
Ben & Jerry's chunky monkey.
That's too expensive.
Stop & Shop's got a nice strawberry.
I'm getting so fat.
You know, at your age, some women never lose the weight.
Guess what.
There'll be a gathering of the troops after work tonight to discuss the fact that the new state budget includes no money for social services.
Guess I better go call Rose and ask if she can cook dinner for the girls and Tommy.
Heaven forbid there shouldn't be a hot meal on the table.
You like it here, don't you? The land of futility? Yeah, I love it.
Here, let me do that for you.
Got tired waitin' for the sun to go down.
Mind if I join you? Suit yourself.
So, what, you're upset because Michael won't come to your birthday party? I couldn't give a fig who comes to my birthday party.
Are you sickly then? Fit as a fiddle.
The whole point of a birthday party is to have your entire family there, not half your family.
And what good is havin' one of my sons there if the other one isn't? I'll talk to him.
Don't you dare.
Auntie Rose, I've been wantin' to ask you something.
I was wondering what was it like for you with my father.
You know Havin' to pretend you didn't feel what you felt.
How did you do that without going completely bonkers? Not that it's any of your business, but it wasn't easy.
Matter of fact, it was the most difficult thing I ever did in my life.
But very necessary.
Why is a fiddle fit? Why is rain right? He's yours.
He's inside the city limits.
He's over the city line, which means he's state.
He's yours.
So where's the city line? Right here.
- How the fuck do you know that? - Because I do.
Supposing that is true, which it isn't, this motherfucker dragged his sorry ass over the city line and then died.
See, he was shot right here in the city.
So what? It's not a homicide case 'cause he got shot.
It's a homicide case 'cause he died.
And he died right over here, which is outside the city limits, which makes it state jurisdiction, which is you.
All right, trooper do-right? Go get your bad guy, 'cause every life is sacred.
Come on, boys.
We're outta here.
Who's buying coffees? It's been eight months.
Either put my client on trial or let him go.
Your client is a scumbag.
We'll try him when we're good and ready.
We want bail.
My client is a flight risk.
He'd never leave his wife and kids.
You know that.
I'm sittin' right here.
You don't have to talk like I'm in fuckin' Peru.
If you don't give him bail, we'll sue.
For what? Endangering my client's life.
Shouldn't be hard to convince a jury.
Marty Trio was killed sitting right next to my client while under your protection.
There's no fuckin' way Freddie gets out and he doesn't come gunnin' for Michael.
He fuckin' told me.
He wants his shit back.
Which means me and you gotta fuckin' choose between fat-ass fuckin' Freddie and cocksucker caffee.
- Michael, did you hear the news? - What? Freddie got bail.
- What the fuck are you talking about? - He's gettin' bail.
Where'd you hear that? Where did you hear that? Some guy was drinking down here Sean or somethin'.
Some guy.
Sean, who? He's a clerk of courts.
- You fuckin' talked to Freddie? - I'm not talkin' to fuckin' Freddie.
I'm not talkin' to that pus-hole! - Why don't I believe you? this is crazy.
I'm not talkin' to Freddie.
So, I'm crazy now?{Is This is crazy, that you think I'd talk to that cheap prick.
Mike, we work for you.
Freddie gets out, you sure about that? We're makin' tons of dough.
We're all happy.
- They're not gonna fuck with ya.
- You gotta fuckin' chill, Mike.
You're wound up a wee bit tight today, if you want my opinion.
I don't.
Just saying, Moe's right.
You need to chill, man.
Moe's right? You're tellin' me Moe is fuckin' right? I'm the one Do I gotta worry if I can trust you too? You wanna fuckin' ask that question.
{ uck I'll head back to Ireland.
- Is that what you want? - Why don't you be my fuckin' guest? Get your mother a birthday present? Did you? - You fuckin' didn't.
- I got her a fuckin' pink, fluffy robe from Nordstrom's.
She likes that shit.
That's nice.
So, you're goin' to her birthday party then? Not if Tommy's there.
- No, I don't care to fuckin' tell you.
Why don't you come at different times? You come at 5:00, stay for an hour.
I'll tell Tommy to come at 6:00.
What do you say? For your mother.
It will make her feel good.
And to be honest, she's not feeling great.
One hour.
It'll make her day.
Where's the Speaker? He couldn't make it, he sends his apologies.
I know who you are.
You're Donatello's little errand boy.
What do you see over here, Mr.
You see crap and decay, right? I see hundreds of mixed-use buildings and a beautiful waterfront park with bike paths and benches and flower gardens Mr.
Kilpatrick.
I'm really sorry, but I gotta get to a meeting.
I own most of the land But what I don't own I need the state to grab under eminent domain.
Then I buy it from you at fair market value.
- Anything else? - I also need tax credits.
And, you're gonna have to cosponsor the environmental cleanup.
Get your papers together, put 'em on my desk, and I promise I'll take a look.
I sent the papers over four months ago.
- It's nice to meet you.
- It's like pissin' into a black hole! A black hole, Caffee! Look, I need to see the Mayor today.
It's important.
In What? Joel, that's in 15 minutes.
I couldn't fly there that fast.
He can't Look, just tell him to wait.
I'll be there.
Yes, 15 minutes.
- He still in there? - Unless he snuck out the back door.
Thank god for that.
How's the family? Good.
Gretchen's the lead in the high school play.
West Side Story.
- Did I tell you? Eileen's having a boy.
- Congratulations.
About fuckin' time.
- How's his mood? - Same as usual.
Pissed off and nasty.
Wait in the car.
So Don-Don's too busy stealing money from the City of Providence to pay me a visit? The Speaker knows the budget cuts hurt but the state's broke.
- What are we gonna do? solution is to close city schools? Cut social services? Fire cops and firemen? You could have thought of that.
Times are tough.
Everyone's gotta tighten their belt.
I'm meeting Ted Thornton at the journal in an hour.
We could work this out amongst ourselves.
And this afternoon, I'm doing a political round-table on channel 5.
Or we could cut even more money from the city budget.
You march back to your master, and you tell him I said to suck my cock.
2-0 pitch Swung on.
High fly ball deep to center.
Corsaletti going back.
He's at the warning track.
That's where he stops.
And makes the catch.
- You're late.
- I wanted to check you were alone.
- Who else would be here? - You never know.
What's the matter with you? Is it true what I heard? Freddie cork's getting out? It's true.
What the fuck is it with you people? We had no choice.
He'll be granted bail.
Why? What Doesn't matter.
When? Soon.
Why the fuck haven't you arrested Nozzoli yet, when I practically hand you this fuckin' guy on a plate? If Nozzoli was in the slammer, I could take care of Freddie myself.
If you propose criminal activity in front of me again, I will be forced to cut you loose.
Do you understand? Do you understand something? With Freddie out and Nozzoli protecting him, I am fucked.
Do you understand that? Look To make a rico case stick, I need direct evidence of Nozzoli's part in an ongoing criminal conspiracy.
You haven't given us that.
What kind of conspiracy exactly? Anything we can prove he's doing with other people that's against the law.
That's it? That's it.
Hi.
Oscar, it's me.
It's Eileen Caffee.
I know.
I'm sorry it's so late.
I forgot to pick up the dry cleaning.
And Tommy really needs his suit for a meeting tomorrow.
Come in.
Thanks a million.
How's work? It was good.
I spent the day under the interstate interviewing winos.
Some homeless guy got shot.
Of course, nobody saw anything.
But it was good though.
You know, I like being a murder cop.
I do.
It makes me feel like I'm doing something.
You know, speaking for the dead.
I like it.
It's your move.
Five and a two.
You're not gonna like me.
This takes you off.
And one, two.
I cover it up.
So I take it that's bad.
I still like you, but l I'm a little I'm confused.
Your moron husband is now gonna answer the door.
Moron husband? - What do you need, Tommy? - Can I come in? Sure.
You're playing backgammon? You kicking his ass? I bet you are.
I hate that game.
Eileen always kicks my ass.
What do you want to talk about? You might want to hear this, Cass, but we're funding a special investigation into corruption in the awarding of state contracts.
I'd like you to be the chief investigator.
What do you say? I appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested.
Just in case you're thinking Anything you find will be reported to the Attorney General.
There'll be no interference from me.
It'll be all your show.
No, I'm not interested.
This is an opportunity, Decco.
I mean, you should do this and do it well.
You don't want to be working dead bodies the rest of your life.
I don't know.
Have a think about it.
Have a talk.
I'm sorry to interrupt, Cass.
Have a good night.
Who made you chef? Eileen called, said she was gonna be late.
So, she asked me to cook dinner.
Honestly, I don't know how you could have married a woman who's so disorganized.
Not only is she late, but there's no parmesan anywhere, {in and believe me, I've looked.
How can you eat pasta with no parmesan? I never heard of such a thing.
Sorry.
Lawrence decided to call a very important after-work meeting.
- Your suit's in there.
- There's no parmesan.
- Sure there is.
- Driving me nuts.
I already looked in there.
You must have missed it.
How am I expected to cook if you're always hiding things? - Are the kids upstairs? - Last time I checked.
There's a spot.
- Where? - Here.
It's teeny.
No one will notice that.
Yes, they will.
I will take it back to Oscar, and he'll get it out tomorrow.
Good.
I'll leave it here.
It's Colin.
I'm wondering if I could have a word with you.
- Sure, shoot.
- Actually, I'm out in the street.
I want to talk to you face-to-face, and I don't want Rose to hear.
Right.
Don't worry.
There's nothing mad wrong.
It's just that it's your ma, right? She's really upset that Michael won't go to her birthday party.
So, I had a wee talk with Michael, and he agreed that he would come if he was guaranteed that you wouldn't be there.
So, I proposed you come at 5:00, stay for an hour, then, you know, he come at 6:00.
And he agreed.
What do you say? - Fine.
- Good man.
Easy.
Listen.
What is the beef between you two guys? You hungry? - You want some pasta? - Pasta? Lovely.
Come on.
If you don't want me to do it, I just I won't do it.
It's that simple.
Do you understand why I have a problem with this? You're afraid that I'm gonna turn into a complete asshole again.
I get it.
- I don't trust Tommy Caffee.
- I don't trust the guy either.
Why work for him? Because this might give me the chance to actually do something good, despite Tom Caffee.
And if I'm lucky, maybe I can redeem whatever's left of my fucked-up soul and actually send a bad guy to hell.
Close the door, babe.
You're late.
I had to drop off Tommy's dry cleaning.
spot on his suit.
You can't be late.
What's the matter with you? So, I'm late one time.
Third time.
Two days ago and last Thursday.
If you're gonna work here, you're gonna be us.
The girls missed their bus.
I had to drop 'em off at sacred heart.
Then last week, I had to Tommy? It's me.
Can you pick up the dry cleaning? There's no way I can get out of work early today.
Honey, I can't pick up the dry cleaning.
I'm too busy.
Just try.
They close at 5:00.
I didn't tell you to talk to the Mayor, but to get me the Mayor.
- He wasn't in a gettable mood.
job, isn't it? Now, he's going on every radio and TV talk show in Rhode Island, saying I'm worse than fuckin' Osama Bin Laden.
That I'm suckin' providence dry, that I'm ruining the lives of school children and helpless fuckin' cripples.
On a positive note, representatives Dickerstein, Williams and Sanchez have all agreed to be part of the committee.
That's great.
Fix Panzarella.
Shut him up.
I've written 50 for H.
G.
H.
, 30 for Oxycontin.
Give me two more.
- This thing expensive, is it? - Very.
Bet you could do some serious damage with this.
Please don't touch it.
So how 'bout you and I take a little trip to the bathroom? Seed to work out pretty good last time.
I'm busy.
Besides, I don't want to.
Not until you come over to my house like a real boyfriend and spend the night.
- What do you mean, like a sleepover? - Yes, like a sleepover! What? 5:00.
Where do you live? 3781 Lloyd avenue.
Upstairs.
Apartment four.
That guy what's he here for? That H.
G.
what's-it? I wouldn't know anything about that H.
G.
what's-it stuff.
Are you kidding me? Every frickin' loser here in providence wants that H.
G.
H.
They think it'll make 'em look like Kobe Bryant or somethin'.
- Alphonse.
- What the fuck are you doing? I'm sorry to interrupt.
I couldn't get ahold of you.
I'm workin' on my fuckin' short game.
What are you doin' here? A couple matters of business I wanted .
I couldn't find you.
Go ahead.
This H.
G.
H.
Human Growth Hormone.
You know that stuff? - That's that shit Stallone took, right? - Exactly.
I got a contact, get us as many scrips as we want, and this is hard stuff to get ahold of.
I thought if we distribute through your college network and the gyms, both make out pretty good.
I give you 50%.
- You give me 50%? - Just trying to be fair.
I also thought if Freddie Cork gets out of the doghouse, which I think he will.
And he comes after my businesses, some of your businesses, which I know he will.
That you will back me clearly.
Now, on the H.
G.
H.
front, I got a guy who'll take care of you personally.
- What are you saying? - I'm just saying, you get the dose wrong with that stuff, your nuts go like raisins.
But you get it right, Hollywood superstar, like an athlete.
I'm in my 50s, you know.
Look fuckin' good, but shit starts to sag.
- Tell me about it.
- It's gonna happen to you.
I know.
The guy's a dentist.
He's on college hill.
He's expecting you Tuesday afternoon.
Very discreet.
And all the scrips you want.
All right.
- A thousand bucks I sink it.
- Sure.
What do you think? Hey, what's up? - I'll take the job.
- Good.
Congratulations.
Tommy, I gotta warn you.
If I find anything that leads to Michael, I'm gonna pursue it.
Absolutely.
That's what we expected, an impartial investigation.
Now, the same goes for you.
- If I find anything that leads to you.
- Decco, that's fine.
- Do your job.
- I will.
Good.
Report to work on Monday.
in the State House.
Speak to Tom McGuane at security.
He'll show you around.
And, Decco, it's a smart move.
I got your RICO case against Nozzoli.
I doubt it.
Tuesday afternoon, he's gonna see a Dr.
Lipsky at this address.
He's gonna sell him a bunch of scrips for H.
G.
H.
He'll use it himself and he'll sell the rest on.
Follow the paperwork, it's all done.
, it's full of microbes.
They're in there right now, eating you up.
What do you think? I think you look wicked hot.
Come on.
Let's fuck.
You've never seen me from the front before, have you? Very nice.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Do you even remember my name? - What? - Do you even remember my name? This is fuckin' ridiculous.
Come on.
I'm sittin' here.
Me too.
Your cock is so fuckin' hot.
So hot.
Michael, I love you fuckin' me.
It's so good.
You know, you should get yourself another job.
- I got a job.
- Listen to what I'm tellin' you.
- Get yourself another job.
All right? - All right.
I'll do whatever you say.
Shut up and fuck then.
Long as you keep fuckin' me like this, I'll do whatever you want.
- Kath? It's me.
- Yeah.
In here.
Hello there.
- Where is he? - Michael? He got busy.
He asked me to stop by and tell you, make sure you're all right.
That's bullshit.
Why do you cover for him? - It's pathetic.
- Seriously, Kath.
He got held up is all.
It's business.
You know, he's gotta earn a livin'.
And he supports you well enough, doesn't he? You cut your hair.
What? Me? No.
Why? It looks nice.
What, you mean normally it doesn't look nice? No, it always looks nice.
Always looks nice.
Shiny and soft.
It always looks nice.
Thank you, Colin.
You're welcome.
I should shouldn't really stay.
I should get going.
Good night.
Did you pick up the dry cleaning? You didn't? But you said you would pick up the dry cleaning.
No, you said I should try.
Why is it that I'm expected to find the time to drop off the dry cleaning and to pick it up? Honey, the Speaker asked me to stay behind and do some budget amendments.
I don't want my tombstone to say, "she picked up - "Tom Caffee's dry cleaning.
" - It's just dry cleaning.
- Just dry cleaning.
- Honey.
I'm gonna say good night to the kids.
No more spot on Tommy's suit.
Great.
OK.
How much is that, Oscar? $22.
No charge for Tommy's suit.
Here is 22.
Oscar.
Tommy's gonna pick up his suit a little bit later.
- Hey, you made it.
- Hi, Colin.
Hi, Kath.
Hey, where's Ma? She's upstairs getting ready.
.
You checked and he's not coming Sure? I'm positive.
Set the table, would you, Michael? Good to see you.
You too.
That's all I've got to say.
- Hi, guys.
- How you doin'? The party favors.
I was supposed to bring 'em by last night.
- Is Ma freakin' out? - Not that I noticed.
- Where is the birthday girl? Upstairs.
She'll be down in a minute.
Give us a hand.
Hey.
How you doin'? Little spoons on the outside.
- Did you hear about Father Delaney? - Delaney? - They retired him.
Vermont.
- New Hampshire.
What's the difference between us and the Taliban? We have laws, they don't.
Actually, they do have religious laws, I believe.
That's entirely different.
Supporting terorists now? That's nice, comin' from you.
What's that supposed to mean? Here she is, the birthday girl.
You made it.
Of course I made it.
You're my mother.
I love you.
Where else would I go? Sorry I didn't make it over {last with the party favors.
- Things just kind of got away from me.
- It's all right, honey.
You have enough to worry about.
- You look gorgeous.
- You all right? Of course.
Why? Happy birthday, Ma.
Perfect! Hey, Ma.
You know, there's something I forgot.
I'm really sorry.
I gotta go.
I love ya.
Have a great party.
Go? Go where? Come on, girls.
Hey, nick.
Mr.
Mayor? It's Tom Caffee.
I think you should let me in.
What are you doing here, Tommy? I'm here to help.
- You OK? - Yeah, everything is fine.
You're in some trouble.
Come on out.
Victor, I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.
Things got out of hand.
I'm calling the police.
I'm calling ABC, I'm calling NBC, and I'm calling CBS.
I'm gonna tell the fucking world, you're a fucking pervert! You son of a bitch! Fuckin' bastard! - Jesus Christ! - You bastard! Look, OK? You're not gonna ruin the Mayor's career.
He's a good mayor.
He loves this city.
He's a decent man.
I told him no rough stuff.
I have fuckin' standards.
I'm a professional.
There you go.
You call the media, you're gonna ruin your own career.
It's OK, 'cause I'm sure the Mayor's gonna make it worth your while.
I need $20,000 to pay off my stunt loans.
What the fuck are you talkin' about? $20,000.
Good.
You OK? Why don't you get yourself together, and I'll get nick to drop you home.
I will expect your full support for Speaker Donatello's budget, OK? - Absolutely.
- Good.
Is everything all right in there? It's what happens when he comes out that worries me.
You should know I didn't pick up your suit today.
I did, however, pick up my dry cleaning.
I'm a hack.
- You're not a hack.
- Yeah.
I'm a complete fuckin' hack.
What would you say if I said I could get us out of here? Out of here? Like out of here, out of this house.
Out of politics.
Off the hill.
I would say, "please, God, do it.
" How? It'd take a year.
I don't know.
Maybe two.
You can't tell anyone.
Just trust me.
You promise? Do you swear? I want you to swear to me.
I swear.
I'm gonna take a shower.
I love you.
Remember.
I'm just a politician in it for the benefice of the state.
- Of course.
- I'm making this introduction because you're the guy who knows how to get things done in Rhode Island.
I have my skills.
And he doesn't need to know about our business dealings.
- That would only cloud his mind.
- It would.
You help finance the whole project.
You pave the way for the appropriate permits, which I supply.
You make your millions, and in return, you buy lands down on all my holdings.
It's always a pleasure.
Mr.
Kilpatrick, I'd like you to meet Thurston Witchell, the man who's gonna make your dream come true.
Mrs.
Caffee? I'm Dr.
Harden.
So, what seems to be the problem? I don't know.
You are so fucked.
What the fuck happened with Lipsky? It was a D.
E.
A.
operation.
They've been onto him for months.
- You didn't know? No, I didn't know.
You think D.
E.
A.
would actually share information with the U.
S.
Attorney's office? So, what? That's it? Nozzoli just fuckin' walks around? I'm sorry.
My hands are tied.
- Not my bailiwick.
- Do you get something? My fuckin' life is in danger here.
I got Nozzoli and Freddie comin' after me.
I would have thought you had a deal with Nozzoli.
I thought I had a fuckin' deal with you! Please, don't get any more paranoid.
Paranoid? You listen to me, you cunt.
If I go down, I am fuckin' takin' you with me, you understand? You know, you're even more retarded than everyone thinks.
It's been a long day, Michael.
My wife's making shepherd's pie tonight.
I love my wife's shepherd's pie.
So I'm goin' home.
Where are you going? Where am I goin'? Where the fuck are you going, you piece of shit? How's this for a fuckin' retard? Cunt! Fuck around your fuckin' wife, just eat a fuckin' shepherd's pie!
I feel fine.
You get well.
You come back here.
Your business will be waiting for you.
You believe your brother's involved in organized crime programs? My brother owns a liquor store.
Look at each other.
Very nice.
Tommy, are you happy? Can we just table this until after the election? If something doesn't change, I'm gonna end up a bitter and nasty person.
I don't want to be that person.
You feel guilty? You know, Freddie told me not to do this.
Fuck Freddie.
Freddie's not my cousin.
I'm pregnant.
I can't I know you're trying to be nice .
You just need to drive me to the clinic, so I can do this.
You're useless right now, Giggs.
- You got problems at home.
- I know, don't care.
You're going to become Freddie Cork's dirty cop.
Once he trusts you, you're gonna turn around and serve him up to me.
Him, the Caffee brothers, the whole rat's nest.
They are slandering you, Tommy.
- It's politics, ma.
- Mr.
Mayor? Did you know the Mayor and the Governor were coming after me? I need a majority leader with a less - independent spirit.
- I'm gonna make you pay.
Not only will I keep my job, but I'm gonna take yours.
You and I have been good partners.
We've kept the peace.
We've both done well.
I want Michael Caffee dead.
What's it gonna take? Michael Caffee has agreed to become the T.
E.
C.
informant.
I'm gonna give you enough to put Freddie cork away for a long time.
You are a slippery eel, you know that? This is where the line gets a little hazy.
- What line? - The one between right and wrong.
I'm not sure my life has any meaning outside my family.
So I've decided I want to fight for it.
Do you? You don't quit the task force.
I'm trying.
Good.
Your brother's the lead story on the 6:00 news.
My brother's got nothing to do with me.
Michael knows that you're the one who tried to whack him.
If it weren't for your brother, you might have had me.
Some things can't stand the light of day.
I knew Freddie was gonna kill you that night at the wedding.
I knew and I never told you.
Meanwhile, environmental groups here at home met with congressman and senators from Washington, D.
C.
to try and convince them to focus on Let's hit the road.
Michael, did you take your medication? doped up, don't ya? - Did you take it? I took the fucking medication, all right? Get off my back.
We all know the state of Rhode Island is in serious financial trouble.
Get him off.
Get the fuck off my TV.
Get the fuck Get a bigger one.
Mr.
Carvalho, do you know what a proffer is? You tell us everything bad you've ever done, with whom and when.
In return for which we will put a 5K1 in your file that will go to the judge.
And hopefully influence him to reduce your sentence.
"Hopefully?" My minister says we live on hope.
Mr.
Speaker? In here.
I'd give a million bucks for a good crap.
Carvalho's yakking to the US Attorney's to get his sentence reduced.
We need to preempt the prick.
I want you to I want you to organize a special committee to investigate allegations into the corruption in the awarding of state contracts The usual dog and pony show.
You, get me some toilet paper.
If Carvalho talks, we're gonna need more than the usual dog and pony show.
We should fund a high-priority investigation by the state police.
How do we control it? We'll appoint a friendly.
Someone who I know the guy.
He'll bitch and moan about doing the right thing, but in the end he'll give us what we want.
Set it up.
And then I need you to talk to Panzarella.
The man is making unpleasant noises about needing more money for the city.
There is no more money.
You make that clear to him, OK? Last thing I need is a public feud with the fuckin' mayor.
Can I get some paper towel, please? Thank you.
You got that? Good.
Now, I need you to contact a guy named, Martin Kilpatrick.
He's a schoolteacher turned developer.
He wants to turn the waterfront into our very own riviera.
Humor him, huh? You're good at that.
Driver's license? How about a birth certificate? Birth certificate? This is ridiculous.
I've gotta learn Spanish.
How can I help these poor people if I can't speak their language? What kind of ice cream should I get? Rose's birthday party.
Right.
Ben & Jerry's chunky monkey.
That's too expensive.
Stop & Shop's got a nice strawberry.
I'm getting so fat.
You know, at your age, some women never lose the weight.
Guess what.
There'll be a gathering of the troops after work tonight to discuss the fact that the new state budget includes no money for social services.
Guess I better go call Rose and ask if she can cook dinner for the girls and Tommy.
Heaven forbid there shouldn't be a hot meal on the table.
You like it here, don't you? The land of futility? Yeah, I love it.
Here, let me do that for you.
Got tired waitin' for the sun to go down.
Mind if I join you? Suit yourself.
So, what, you're upset because Michael won't come to your birthday party? I couldn't give a fig who comes to my birthday party.
Are you sickly then? Fit as a fiddle.
The whole point of a birthday party is to have your entire family there, not half your family.
And what good is havin' one of my sons there if the other one isn't? I'll talk to him.
Don't you dare.
Auntie Rose, I've been wantin' to ask you something.
I was wondering what was it like for you with my father.
You know Havin' to pretend you didn't feel what you felt.
How did you do that without going completely bonkers? Not that it's any of your business, but it wasn't easy.
Matter of fact, it was the most difficult thing I ever did in my life.
But very necessary.
Why is a fiddle fit? Why is rain right? He's yours.
He's inside the city limits.
He's over the city line, which means he's state.
He's yours.
So where's the city line? Right here.
- How the fuck do you know that? - Because I do.
Supposing that is true, which it isn't, this motherfucker dragged his sorry ass over the city line and then died.
See, he was shot right here in the city.
So what? It's not a homicide case 'cause he got shot.
It's a homicide case 'cause he died.
And he died right over here, which is outside the city limits, which makes it state jurisdiction, which is you.
All right, trooper do-right? Go get your bad guy, 'cause every life is sacred.
Come on, boys.
We're outta here.
Who's buying coffees? It's been eight months.
Either put my client on trial or let him go.
Your client is a scumbag.
We'll try him when we're good and ready.
We want bail.
My client is a flight risk.
He'd never leave his wife and kids.
You know that.
I'm sittin' right here.
You don't have to talk like I'm in fuckin' Peru.
If you don't give him bail, we'll sue.
For what? Endangering my client's life.
Shouldn't be hard to convince a jury.
Marty Trio was killed sitting right next to my client while under your protection.
There's no fuckin' way Freddie gets out and he doesn't come gunnin' for Michael.
He fuckin' told me.
He wants his shit back.
Which means me and you gotta fuckin' choose between fat-ass fuckin' Freddie and cocksucker caffee.
- Michael, did you hear the news? - What? Freddie got bail.
- What the fuck are you talking about? - He's gettin' bail.
Where'd you hear that? Where did you hear that? Some guy was drinking down here Sean or somethin'.
Some guy.
Sean, who? He's a clerk of courts.
- You fuckin' talked to Freddie? - I'm not talkin' to fuckin' Freddie.
I'm not talkin' to that pus-hole! - Why don't I believe you? this is crazy.
I'm not talkin' to Freddie.
So, I'm crazy now?{Is This is crazy, that you think I'd talk to that cheap prick.
Mike, we work for you.
Freddie gets out, you sure about that? We're makin' tons of dough.
We're all happy.
- They're not gonna fuck with ya.
- You gotta fuckin' chill, Mike.
You're wound up a wee bit tight today, if you want my opinion.
I don't.
Just saying, Moe's right.
You need to chill, man.
Moe's right? You're tellin' me Moe is fuckin' right? I'm the one Do I gotta worry if I can trust you too? You wanna fuckin' ask that question.
{ uck I'll head back to Ireland.
- Is that what you want? - Why don't you be my fuckin' guest? Get your mother a birthday present? Did you? - You fuckin' didn't.
- I got her a fuckin' pink, fluffy robe from Nordstrom's.
She likes that shit.
That's nice.
So, you're goin' to her birthday party then? Not if Tommy's there.
- No, I don't care to fuckin' tell you.
Why don't you come at different times? You come at 5:00, stay for an hour.
I'll tell Tommy to come at 6:00.
What do you say? For your mother.
It will make her feel good.
And to be honest, she's not feeling great.
One hour.
It'll make her day.
Where's the Speaker? He couldn't make it, he sends his apologies.
I know who you are.
You're Donatello's little errand boy.
What do you see over here, Mr.
You see crap and decay, right? I see hundreds of mixed-use buildings and a beautiful waterfront park with bike paths and benches and flower gardens Mr.
Kilpatrick.
I'm really sorry, but I gotta get to a meeting.
I own most of the land But what I don't own I need the state to grab under eminent domain.
Then I buy it from you at fair market value.
- Anything else? - I also need tax credits.
And, you're gonna have to cosponsor the environmental cleanup.
Get your papers together, put 'em on my desk, and I promise I'll take a look.
I sent the papers over four months ago.
- It's nice to meet you.
- It's like pissin' into a black hole! A black hole, Caffee! Look, I need to see the Mayor today.
It's important.
In What? Joel, that's in 15 minutes.
I couldn't fly there that fast.
He can't Look, just tell him to wait.
I'll be there.
Yes, 15 minutes.
- He still in there? - Unless he snuck out the back door.
Thank god for that.
How's the family? Good.
Gretchen's the lead in the high school play.
West Side Story.
- Did I tell you? Eileen's having a boy.
- Congratulations.
About fuckin' time.
- How's his mood? - Same as usual.
Pissed off and nasty.
Wait in the car.
So Don-Don's too busy stealing money from the City of Providence to pay me a visit? The Speaker knows the budget cuts hurt but the state's broke.
- What are we gonna do? solution is to close city schools? Cut social services? Fire cops and firemen? You could have thought of that.
Times are tough.
Everyone's gotta tighten their belt.
I'm meeting Ted Thornton at the journal in an hour.
We could work this out amongst ourselves.
And this afternoon, I'm doing a political round-table on channel 5.
Or we could cut even more money from the city budget.
You march back to your master, and you tell him I said to suck my cock.
2-0 pitch Swung on.
High fly ball deep to center.
Corsaletti going back.
He's at the warning track.
That's where he stops.
And makes the catch.
- You're late.
- I wanted to check you were alone.
- Who else would be here? - You never know.
What's the matter with you? Is it true what I heard? Freddie cork's getting out? It's true.
What the fuck is it with you people? We had no choice.
He'll be granted bail.
Why? What Doesn't matter.
When? Soon.
Why the fuck haven't you arrested Nozzoli yet, when I practically hand you this fuckin' guy on a plate? If Nozzoli was in the slammer, I could take care of Freddie myself.
If you propose criminal activity in front of me again, I will be forced to cut you loose.
Do you understand? Do you understand something? With Freddie out and Nozzoli protecting him, I am fucked.
Do you understand that? Look To make a rico case stick, I need direct evidence of Nozzoli's part in an ongoing criminal conspiracy.
You haven't given us that.
What kind of conspiracy exactly? Anything we can prove he's doing with other people that's against the law.
That's it? That's it.
Hi.
Oscar, it's me.
It's Eileen Caffee.
I know.
I'm sorry it's so late.
I forgot to pick up the dry cleaning.
And Tommy really needs his suit for a meeting tomorrow.
Come in.
Thanks a million.
How's work? It was good.
I spent the day under the interstate interviewing winos.
Some homeless guy got shot.
Of course, nobody saw anything.
But it was good though.
You know, I like being a murder cop.
I do.
It makes me feel like I'm doing something.
You know, speaking for the dead.
I like it.
It's your move.
Five and a two.
You're not gonna like me.
This takes you off.
And one, two.
I cover it up.
So I take it that's bad.
I still like you, but l I'm a little I'm confused.
Your moron husband is now gonna answer the door.
Moron husband? - What do you need, Tommy? - Can I come in? Sure.
You're playing backgammon? You kicking his ass? I bet you are.
I hate that game.
Eileen always kicks my ass.
What do you want to talk about? You might want to hear this, Cass, but we're funding a special investigation into corruption in the awarding of state contracts.
I'd like you to be the chief investigator.
What do you say? I appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested.
Just in case you're thinking Anything you find will be reported to the Attorney General.
There'll be no interference from me.
It'll be all your show.
No, I'm not interested.
This is an opportunity, Decco.
I mean, you should do this and do it well.
You don't want to be working dead bodies the rest of your life.
I don't know.
Have a think about it.
Have a talk.
I'm sorry to interrupt, Cass.
Have a good night.
Who made you chef? Eileen called, said she was gonna be late.
So, she asked me to cook dinner.
Honestly, I don't know how you could have married a woman who's so disorganized.
Not only is she late, but there's no parmesan anywhere, {in and believe me, I've looked.
How can you eat pasta with no parmesan? I never heard of such a thing.
Sorry.
Lawrence decided to call a very important after-work meeting.
- Your suit's in there.
- There's no parmesan.
- Sure there is.
- Driving me nuts.
I already looked in there.
You must have missed it.
How am I expected to cook if you're always hiding things? - Are the kids upstairs? - Last time I checked.
There's a spot.
- Where? - Here.
It's teeny.
No one will notice that.
Yes, they will.
I will take it back to Oscar, and he'll get it out tomorrow.
Good.
I'll leave it here.
It's Colin.
I'm wondering if I could have a word with you.
- Sure, shoot.
- Actually, I'm out in the street.
I want to talk to you face-to-face, and I don't want Rose to hear.
Right.
Don't worry.
There's nothing mad wrong.
It's just that it's your ma, right? She's really upset that Michael won't go to her birthday party.
So, I had a wee talk with Michael, and he agreed that he would come if he was guaranteed that you wouldn't be there.
So, I proposed you come at 5:00, stay for an hour, then, you know, he come at 6:00.
And he agreed.
What do you say? - Fine.
- Good man.
Easy.
Listen.
What is the beef between you two guys? You hungry? - You want some pasta? - Pasta? Lovely.
Come on.
If you don't want me to do it, I just I won't do it.
It's that simple.
Do you understand why I have a problem with this? You're afraid that I'm gonna turn into a complete asshole again.
I get it.
- I don't trust Tommy Caffee.
- I don't trust the guy either.
Why work for him? Because this might give me the chance to actually do something good, despite Tom Caffee.
And if I'm lucky, maybe I can redeem whatever's left of my fucked-up soul and actually send a bad guy to hell.
Close the door, babe.
You're late.
I had to drop off Tommy's dry cleaning.
spot on his suit.
You can't be late.
What's the matter with you? So, I'm late one time.
Third time.
Two days ago and last Thursday.
If you're gonna work here, you're gonna be us.
The girls missed their bus.
I had to drop 'em off at sacred heart.
Then last week, I had to Tommy? It's me.
Can you pick up the dry cleaning? There's no way I can get out of work early today.
Honey, I can't pick up the dry cleaning.
I'm too busy.
Just try.
They close at 5:00.
I didn't tell you to talk to the Mayor, but to get me the Mayor.
- He wasn't in a gettable mood.
job, isn't it? Now, he's going on every radio and TV talk show in Rhode Island, saying I'm worse than fuckin' Osama Bin Laden.
That I'm suckin' providence dry, that I'm ruining the lives of school children and helpless fuckin' cripples.
On a positive note, representatives Dickerstein, Williams and Sanchez have all agreed to be part of the committee.
That's great.
Fix Panzarella.
Shut him up.
I've written 50 for H.
G.
H.
, 30 for Oxycontin.
Give me two more.
- This thing expensive, is it? - Very.
Bet you could do some serious damage with this.
Please don't touch it.
So how 'bout you and I take a little trip to the bathroom? Seed to work out pretty good last time.
I'm busy.
Besides, I don't want to.
Not until you come over to my house like a real boyfriend and spend the night.
- What do you mean, like a sleepover? - Yes, like a sleepover! What? 5:00.
Where do you live? 3781 Lloyd avenue.
Upstairs.
Apartment four.
That guy what's he here for? That H.
G.
what's-it? I wouldn't know anything about that H.
G.
what's-it stuff.
Are you kidding me? Every frickin' loser here in providence wants that H.
G.
H.
They think it'll make 'em look like Kobe Bryant or somethin'.
- Alphonse.
- What the fuck are you doing? I'm sorry to interrupt.
I couldn't get ahold of you.
I'm workin' on my fuckin' short game.
What are you doin' here? A couple matters of business I wanted .
I couldn't find you.
Go ahead.
This H.
G.
H.
Human Growth Hormone.
You know that stuff? - That's that shit Stallone took, right? - Exactly.
I got a contact, get us as many scrips as we want, and this is hard stuff to get ahold of.
I thought if we distribute through your college network and the gyms, both make out pretty good.
I give you 50%.
- You give me 50%? - Just trying to be fair.
I also thought if Freddie Cork gets out of the doghouse, which I think he will.
And he comes after my businesses, some of your businesses, which I know he will.
That you will back me clearly.
Now, on the H.
G.
H.
front, I got a guy who'll take care of you personally.
- What are you saying? - I'm just saying, you get the dose wrong with that stuff, your nuts go like raisins.
But you get it right, Hollywood superstar, like an athlete.
I'm in my 50s, you know.
Look fuckin' good, but shit starts to sag.
- Tell me about it.
- It's gonna happen to you.
I know.
The guy's a dentist.
He's on college hill.
He's expecting you Tuesday afternoon.
Very discreet.
And all the scrips you want.
All right.
- A thousand bucks I sink it.
- Sure.
What do you think? Hey, what's up? - I'll take the job.
- Good.
Congratulations.
Tommy, I gotta warn you.
If I find anything that leads to Michael, I'm gonna pursue it.
Absolutely.
That's what we expected, an impartial investigation.
Now, the same goes for you.
- If I find anything that leads to you.
- Decco, that's fine.
- Do your job.
- I will.
Good.
Report to work on Monday.
in the State House.
Speak to Tom McGuane at security.
He'll show you around.
And, Decco, it's a smart move.
I got your RICO case against Nozzoli.
I doubt it.
Tuesday afternoon, he's gonna see a Dr.
Lipsky at this address.
He's gonna sell him a bunch of scrips for H.
G.
H.
He'll use it himself and he'll sell the rest on.
Follow the paperwork, it's all done.
, it's full of microbes.
They're in there right now, eating you up.
What do you think? I think you look wicked hot.
Come on.
Let's fuck.
You've never seen me from the front before, have you? Very nice.
- Come on.
Let's go.
- Do you even remember my name? - What? - Do you even remember my name? This is fuckin' ridiculous.
Come on.
I'm sittin' here.
Me too.
Your cock is so fuckin' hot.
So hot.
Michael, I love you fuckin' me.
It's so good.
You know, you should get yourself another job.
- I got a job.
- Listen to what I'm tellin' you.
- Get yourself another job.
All right? - All right.
I'll do whatever you say.
Shut up and fuck then.
Long as you keep fuckin' me like this, I'll do whatever you want.
- Kath? It's me.
- Yeah.
In here.
Hello there.
- Where is he? - Michael? He got busy.
He asked me to stop by and tell you, make sure you're all right.
That's bullshit.
Why do you cover for him? - It's pathetic.
- Seriously, Kath.
He got held up is all.
It's business.
You know, he's gotta earn a livin'.
And he supports you well enough, doesn't he? You cut your hair.
What? Me? No.
Why? It looks nice.
What, you mean normally it doesn't look nice? No, it always looks nice.
Always looks nice.
Shiny and soft.
It always looks nice.
Thank you, Colin.
You're welcome.
I should shouldn't really stay.
I should get going.
Good night.
Did you pick up the dry cleaning? You didn't? But you said you would pick up the dry cleaning.
No, you said I should try.
Why is it that I'm expected to find the time to drop off the dry cleaning and to pick it up? Honey, the Speaker asked me to stay behind and do some budget amendments.
I don't want my tombstone to say, "she picked up - "Tom Caffee's dry cleaning.
" - It's just dry cleaning.
- Just dry cleaning.
- Honey.
I'm gonna say good night to the kids.
No more spot on Tommy's suit.
Great.
OK.
How much is that, Oscar? $22.
No charge for Tommy's suit.
Here is 22.
Oscar.
Tommy's gonna pick up his suit a little bit later.
- Hey, you made it.
- Hi, Colin.
Hi, Kath.
Hey, where's Ma? She's upstairs getting ready.
.
You checked and he's not coming Sure? I'm positive.
Set the table, would you, Michael? Good to see you.
You too.
That's all I've got to say.
- Hi, guys.
- How you doin'? The party favors.
I was supposed to bring 'em by last night.
- Is Ma freakin' out? - Not that I noticed.
- Where is the birthday girl? Upstairs.
She'll be down in a minute.
Give us a hand.
Hey.
How you doin'? Little spoons on the outside.
- Did you hear about Father Delaney? - Delaney? - They retired him.
Vermont.
- New Hampshire.
What's the difference between us and the Taliban? We have laws, they don't.
Actually, they do have religious laws, I believe.
That's entirely different.
Supporting terorists now? That's nice, comin' from you.
What's that supposed to mean? Here she is, the birthday girl.
You made it.
Of course I made it.
You're my mother.
I love you.
Where else would I go? Sorry I didn't make it over {last with the party favors.
- Things just kind of got away from me.
- It's all right, honey.
You have enough to worry about.
- You look gorgeous.
- You all right? Of course.
Why? Happy birthday, Ma.
Perfect! Hey, Ma.
You know, there's something I forgot.
I'm really sorry.
I gotta go.
I love ya.
Have a great party.
Go? Go where? Come on, girls.
Hey, nick.
Mr.
Mayor? It's Tom Caffee.
I think you should let me in.
What are you doing here, Tommy? I'm here to help.
- You OK? - Yeah, everything is fine.
You're in some trouble.
Come on out.
Victor, I'm sorry.
I don't know what happened.
Things got out of hand.
I'm calling the police.
I'm calling ABC, I'm calling NBC, and I'm calling CBS.
I'm gonna tell the fucking world, you're a fucking pervert! You son of a bitch! Fuckin' bastard! - Jesus Christ! - You bastard! Look, OK? You're not gonna ruin the Mayor's career.
He's a good mayor.
He loves this city.
He's a decent man.
I told him no rough stuff.
I have fuckin' standards.
I'm a professional.
There you go.
You call the media, you're gonna ruin your own career.
It's OK, 'cause I'm sure the Mayor's gonna make it worth your while.
I need $20,000 to pay off my stunt loans.
What the fuck are you talkin' about? $20,000.
Good.
You OK? Why don't you get yourself together, and I'll get nick to drop you home.
I will expect your full support for Speaker Donatello's budget, OK? - Absolutely.
- Good.
Is everything all right in there? It's what happens when he comes out that worries me.
You should know I didn't pick up your suit today.
I did, however, pick up my dry cleaning.
I'm a hack.
- You're not a hack.
- Yeah.
I'm a complete fuckin' hack.
What would you say if I said I could get us out of here? Out of here? Like out of here, out of this house.
Out of politics.
Off the hill.
I would say, "please, God, do it.
" How? It'd take a year.
I don't know.
Maybe two.
You can't tell anyone.
Just trust me.
You promise? Do you swear? I want you to swear to me.
I swear.
I'm gonna take a shower.
I love you.
Remember.
I'm just a politician in it for the benefice of the state.
- Of course.
- I'm making this introduction because you're the guy who knows how to get things done in Rhode Island.
I have my skills.
And he doesn't need to know about our business dealings.
- That would only cloud his mind.
- It would.
You help finance the whole project.
You pave the way for the appropriate permits, which I supply.
You make your millions, and in return, you buy lands down on all my holdings.
It's always a pleasure.
Mr.
Kilpatrick, I'd like you to meet Thurston Witchell, the man who's gonna make your dream come true.
Mrs.
Caffee? I'm Dr.
Harden.
So, what seems to be the problem? I don't know.
You are so fucked.
What the fuck happened with Lipsky? It was a D.
E.
A.
operation.
They've been onto him for months.
- You didn't know? No, I didn't know.
You think D.
E.
A.
would actually share information with the U.
S.
Attorney's office? So, what? That's it? Nozzoli just fuckin' walks around? I'm sorry.
My hands are tied.
- Not my bailiwick.
- Do you get something? My fuckin' life is in danger here.
I got Nozzoli and Freddie comin' after me.
I would have thought you had a deal with Nozzoli.
I thought I had a fuckin' deal with you! Please, don't get any more paranoid.
Paranoid? You listen to me, you cunt.
If I go down, I am fuckin' takin' you with me, you understand? You know, you're even more retarded than everyone thinks.
It's been a long day, Michael.
My wife's making shepherd's pie tonight.
I love my wife's shepherd's pie.
So I'm goin' home.
Where are you going? Where am I goin'? Where the fuck are you going, you piece of shit? How's this for a fuckin' retard? Cunt! Fuck around your fuckin' wife, just eat a fuckin' shepherd's pie!
