Godfather of Harlem (2019) s03e07 Episode Script
All Roads Lead to Malcolm
1
If he finds out that I was involved
with his daughter disappearing
Who says he has to find out?
Joe Colombo's doing a very good job,
minding the store and
also protecting you, and
He's trying to fuck me.
You just come from my father?
Fineman told him about
what's going on with Colombo.
Not gonna have to worry
about Joe Colombo anymore.
I never said I wanted him hurt.
I understand he has
plans for a new mosque.
Omar wants to work for Malcolm.
I want you to swear that
you will never do anything
to harm Malcolm.
I swear before Allah.
Now it's your turn. Swear
you don't love me anymore.
I'm not ready for that just yet.
- Omar's asked me out on a date.
- You have to forgive him
if you're going to
give him a real chance.
Malcolm is risking his life
to fight for our freedom.
Omar, I thought you said
Elise was an intelligent woman.
You don't want me to be
in the heroin business?
If our quality of life
goes down, so be it.
I love you more than words can say.
It shouldn't be difficult to transfer
Palmetto's ownership to your name.
Landing a contract like this
could really push him
in the right direction.
Your application has been rejected.
I will never do anything criminal again.
Jose says you have a proposition for us.
The CIA incinerates hundreds
of kilos of cocaine a month.
Turn it over to us. We sell it.
A quarter of the profits go to you
and the fight against Castro.
You have something we want.
Intimate access to Malcolm X.
You get us that, you boys can
have all the coke you want.
Were you able to acquire the information
I requested about Malcolm?
You and he and your
daughter met for lunch.
I've done some research,
too. Operation Mongoose.
Which would make headline news
if I were suddenly to disappear.
So keep the fuck away from Malcolm.
You'll get 25%, and there'll be no fuss.
I'm fucking impressed.
Let's get this shit out of here.
We're taking back Harlem.
I got no fucking problem
giving up information
on that commie Negro.
Let us drink to that.
We started out small,
but this is gonna be big.
Here comes trouble.
Hey, Joe. What's up?
Why you bringin' a crew to the sit-down?
'Cause I don't trust none of you fucks!
Chin Gigante put a hit out on me
something he couldn't have done
without your fuckin' approval.
What the fuck are you talkin' about?
I bring in all the dope,
make millions for you greedy bastards,
got rid of Bumpy fuckin' Johnson.
This is how you repay me?
Get the fuckin' sanction
taken off my head!
Hey, tough guy, maybe you
should have thought twice
before you fucked Chin's daughter!
- What?
- We got a couple of associates
in Cell Block C in Sing Sing
said Chin went a little berserk.
I can't say I blame him
for tryin' to take you out.
With all due respect, Joe
Joe, look at me when
I'm fuckin' talkin'.
With all due respect,
don't you think it would've been smarter
if you kept it in your fuckin' pants?
Listen to me good.
I never fuckin' touched his daughter.
Whether you did or you
didn't, it's not our business,
but that can explain
what the fuck is goin' on.
Joseph, we have rules,
but a father's a father.
A single boss sanctions another boss,
and you pezzonovantes do nothing.
This Commission is fuckin' bullshit.
You motherfuckers are useless.
You really did move the shit.
No business like show
business for the coke business.
It was a smart plan.
Go after the musicians,
then the managers,
then the big-shot executives.
They have all the dough.
Harvey has 40 keys for us tomorrow.
Forty's too much.
Got to roll it out slowly.
You can move 40.
You got an instinct for
this shit. I trust you.
Boils down to it, instinct's all we got.
All right.
I really admire how
you stood your ground
for your friend Malcolm X.
He's my brother.
You look after him, keep him protected.
Hey, why do you think
our friends in the CIA
are so interested in him?
They view him as the most
dangerous man in America.
Why?
Nobody knows this, but Malcolm and Che
are gonna be speaking
at the United Nations.
That's just between me and you.
I don't want nothing
to happen to Malcolm.
I would never betray your confidence.
Never on my life.
You boys come out for a drink?
Jose Battle, the FBI has
a warrant for your arrest.
Who the fuck are you?
I'm Assistant District
Attorney Jonathan Pike.
You're being charged
with money laundering.
Let's go.
May I come in?
Sure.
- See you're packin' up.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going back up to Philly
to stay with Delia for a while.
I want to thank you for
taking care of me for this time
and understanding that I need
to go and find my own life.
Before you go
maybe you could give me some advice.
About what?
Well, for instance
why would your father
think that you and I are involved?
Involved?
In an intimate way.
I have no idea.
That could explain why
his underboss Lombardi
tried to put a bullet
in my head, could it not?
Nah, I don't think that's it.
Well, what would even give him
the idea that we're involved?
Any thoughts?
No. No, I have no idea.
You know my father.
He's in a bathrobe
half the fuckin' time.
I think there's something
you're not telling me.
No.
Honest.
Stella
think hard.
Why would Chin Gigante,
who's charged me with
protecting his daughter,
put out a fuckin' hit on
me with you in the room?
It could have been his lawyer.
- Fineman?
- Yeah, I met with him.
And he saw the necklace
that you gave me,
and it's possible he drew
the wrong conclusions.
- Fineman did?
- I think so.
And did you try and dissuade
him from that notion?
I did.
Get that fuckin' lawyer on the phone.
Tell him you want to
meet him immediately.
What are you gonna do to him?
Whatever the fuck it takes.
What's goin' on here?
Why is this guy Pike
crawling up our ass?
This is the FBI fuckin' with us.
They've had a bug up their
ass over us since the '50s.
The FBI and CIA are
at war with each other.
You got to understand,
before we came along,
they were Big Dick McGee.
Now they're hall monitors.
What I don't understand is,
why'd they pinch Battle and not me?
Oh, 'cause they know you don't sing,
so take a shot with your partner.
More likely, they've got
a classified informant.
A rat? Who?
On your side.
Who, besides us, has
access to the transactions?
My banker.
I got a judge and a lawyer on payroll.
But that's it, that's it.
Anyone jump out?
In my experience, whichever one it is,
they'll deny it the strongest.
I'll press our contacts,
see what I can pull.
If we can't finger
anybody by evening time,
they all got to go.
Hey, motherfucker, these are my people.
I deal with them first, and
then I assess the situation.
Talk to your guys.
I will have Conrad press our contacts.
But be advised, boys,
we find out one of your
brothers is the rat,
they will be handled
with extreme prejudice.
"Such a man as Malcolm
deserves nothing short of death."
They should have drawn Elijah Muhammad
as the Big Bad Wolf.
This isn't a joke.
Elijah's blatantly ordering
his men to kill you.
If the CIA couldn't kill me with poison,
the NOI won't do it with a cartoon.
Thank you.
Brother Malcolm, the United Nations
has just confirmed your
speech with Che Guevara.
Excellent.
Don't worry about this.
It'll be lining bird cages by tomorrow.
Malcolm, look around.
These people gave up
everything to follow you.
What will they do if
you end up in a casket?
What would Betty do?
I know I'm going to die, Elise.
I'm making the most of borrowed time.
That doesn't have to be
true. You can stop this.
I've been in 12 cities
in the past few months.
In each one, someone was following me.
I can't even tie my shoes
without looking over my shoulder.
That doesn't mean you give
up. What's wrong with you?
I'm tired of running.
If anyone comes after me,
I'll be waiting with my dukes up,
not hiding behind a bush.
Malcolm's new followers must
have a death wish, same as he.
How could they leave the Dear
Holy Apostle to follow him?
You know how Malcolm does,
how he brainwashes people.
I know I brought shame to the
Nation for failing so terribly.
You and Captain Henry were the only ones
who had courage enough to take action.
You are a hero.
It's a shame it cost Henry his life.
In a way, what you're doing
now is even more potent
feigning friendship.
Soon, Malcolm will let
all his guards down.
It's really wonderful
to see you again, Omar.
We have always had similar ambitions.
I'm inspired by your tenacity.
Perhaps there's an opportunity for us
to collaborate.
What did you have in mind?
If Mosque Number 7 was
compelled to any further action,
you would know.
There's nothing really to speak of.
We both know that's not true.
Thanks to you and Henry's incident,
we've had to lay low.
Henry and I had the courage
to do what others only whispered about.
I don't want his death to be in vain.
Help me finish what we started.
Our sister mosque in Newark,
they stepped up to the front line.
Brother Clyde is who
you should speak with.
How you doing?
Compared to La Cabaña Prison in Cuba,
where I spent two
years, this is paradise.
Still, I need to get the fuck out.
The FBI has a snitch.
Our friends think that
it's one of my associates.
I disagree.
Our friends know what
they're talkin' about.
Probably one of those three
cocksuckers you brought to me.
My guts tell me that they
got nothing to do with this.
But I will talk to them.
Could it be a snitch
coming from your side?
Impossible.
My men know that they will die
a very slow and painful death.
Something just just
doesn't make any sense.
And why am I in here and not you?
It's a good question.
It's obvious.
One of your friends made a deal.
They turn on me so as not to betray you.
Probably that fat-ass judge.
Just give me some time
to figure this out.
Just trust me.
It's a little difficult
to do in my position.
I've been in many prisons,
aside from Alcatraz.
There's no one who wants
your freedom more than me.
Do what you must.
Find out which one of
your friends put me here.
'Cause if you don't, our friends will.
Get the fuck out.
I told you, there's nothing I can do.
You better fuckin' think of something.
He's in solitary.
Even if I could speak to him,
you think he listens to me?
No one can tell him what to do.
Joe, stop.
He's right. When it comes
to me, my father's insane.
Yeah, that much is clear.
There is something else.
What the fuck are you not tellin' me?
Nothing.
Oh, f Oh, fuck!
A couple weeks ago,
I cut a man's head off
with a fuckin' handsaw.
You think I won't blow
your fuckin' brains
all over that wall?
He thinks you're cheating him.
What the f
His cut last month was $2 million!
He's never made that much off heroin!
That's a fact!
You think that crazy act
of his is just an act?
I think he is legally insane.
He's not crazy when
it comes to business.
He thinks you're getting too
powerful with the other bosses
because you're making
them so much money.
He's worried that
you're gonna take Harlem.
I protected Harlem! I protected you!
- Untie him.
- Yeah, boss.
As of this moment, I am
resigning as his lawyer.
I am not cut out for this shit.
You're gonna stay exactly
where the fuck you are.
You're gonna clean up this
lie about me and Stella.
You're gonna tell me every
fuckin' thing he says and does.
If I do that, he'll kill me.
I'll kill you if you don't.
Your choice.
Huh.
Excuse me?
Are you suggesting that
The DA confirmed that there's
a confidential informant.
- I do not have to endure
- Sit Sit the fuck down!
Sit the fuck
This is outrageous.
I mean, what good would
it do any one of us,
after all the things
we've been involved in?
Have any of you been approached
by the Feds?
People can die from this shit.
I need the truth.
No.
Never.
- Judge?
- No.
- Dayton?
- No.
Why are you certain it's one of us?
No one else has access
to those documents.
I'm gonna get real
and ask you as a brother
of the Lenox Hill Society.
Did one of you talk to the Feds?
On your most sacred honor.
Let me make something clear
about our relationship with you, Bumpy.
Your forthrightness, your integrity,
your loyalty to our fraternity
have had a profound effect on us.
We admire you.
You keep your word.
We've had our differences.
However, we know that you
would never betray any of us.
And following your lead,
we would never betray you.
I haven't done it.
And I believe my brothers
would never do such a thing.
So
guess this wasn't just about him
thinking you were in my pants.
Uh, he was using you for something
he was gonna do anyway.
Take me out.
That doesn't make it any better
that I got you in trouble.
Maybe you can appreciate why
I want to leave the country.
Hey.
It's not your fight.
It's mine.
You want to take off
I owe you that for saving my life.
I lied to you, Joe.
It wasn't the necklace that did it.
I told Fineman you tried to fuck me.
Ohh.
I'm sorry.
I told him not to say anything
to my father, but he did anyway.
Do you have any idea what you've done?
Everything I've worked for
destroyed.
You made your father
my blood enemy for life.
I got you into this
mess. I'll get you out.
I know how to handle my father.
How?
The other bosses.
What if they all agree to sanction him?
What would that do?
It means if he kills me, they kill him.
But forget it.
They'll never do it, those fucks.
- Unless you force them.
- Wha
No, you forget, one of those
bosses tried to have me killed.
We figure out who that
was, use it as leverage.
You don't know which boss.
I know someone who does.
You can be a great asset for us,
given all that you
learned about Malcolm.
That's why I came here.
I want to help ensure
your plans will succeed.
I want to be on the front
lines with you, Brother Clyde.
Because of your initial attempt,
I think it best you
remain behind the scenes.
You just said I'd make a great asset.
I can tell you where
Malcolm works, sleeps,
when his guards switch shifts.
Which makes you a beneficial
informant, not a soldier.
Brother Omar.
You're back. I've wondered about you.
Have you and Elise reconciled?
It has, uh
been a process.
I worry about her.
Malcolm has her so
deceived. She needs you.
I wish she felt that way.
Sondra let's not pry
into Brother Omar's personal business.
No, no, it's
Please.
Excuse my wife.
It's the truth.
He almost saved the Nation.
It's taken dozens of us to
do what he did all by himself.
There may be some
people interested in you.
Let's call them higher powers.
Higher powers?
The kind not bound by the
principles of the Quran.
It's nice to see you, Bill.
I figured you might stop
by at some point, catch up.
Oh, you know me, Johnny,
always shamelessly glomming for a favor.
Hmm. And what's that?
Drop the charges against Jose Battle
and release him before,
I don't know, lunch.
And why would I consider releasing
a suspected drug trafficker and killer?
'Cause we both know it's
not about that, John.
Jose Battle is a nuisance arrest
to keep us from using him
against a high-value target.
The target's no longer on foreign soil.
He's FBI jurisdiction now.
You boys are all about
the governmental blue
ribbons and nice press, huh?
You guys had your chance
on Malcolm in Africa.
You blew it.
Malcolm X has moved
from being a ghetto domestic
threat of limited consequence
to a man of international influence.
He's speaking at the fuckin'
UN, for Christ's sake.
The FBI is not equipped to
handle the ramifications.
Just stick to catching bank robbers.
How's that the Castro thing going?
You, uh, blow up any cigars lately?
Let's look at it this way.
The director of the FBI, Mr. Hoover,
answers to the Attorney General.
When the CIA calls President Johnson
and he's taking a shit,
he picks up before he wipes his ass.
Battle's mine right now.
I'm sorry if that creates a nuisance.
I have photographs of
your boss, J. Edgar,
wearing an Edith Overall summer
dress and a crooked blond wig.
I want Jose Battle out of jail, pronto.
I wish somebody, yeah ♪
Would come and ease
my troublin' mind ♪
Sweet potato pie?
Is it a holiday today?
I miss something? Huh?
It's Margaret's favorite dessert.
Hmm.
I know she's not here right now,
but makes me feel better to make it.
She'll be back soon, I promise.
I need to ask you a favor.
I got to get this pie into the oven.
It's important. About Lillian.
Lillian?
What about her?
You've often mentioned how she complains
about never going on
vacation with Archie.
I need you to encourage her to go.
Why?
Tell her that I bought plane
tickets and we can't use them.
And then just give them to her, okay?
You want me to convince Lillian
to go away with her husband,
and you won't tell me why?
Archie's been doing some work for me.
And there's some people
that think that he might
be talking to the Feds.
They could be right.
Ellsworth, what have
you gotten him into?
Nothing that he didn't want to get into.
- Well, is he in danger?
- Not if he goes away.
I just want him out of
town while I clean this up.
Lillian mustn't know
anything about this, okay?
This is outrageous.
What are we talking about?
Money laundering?
Drug dealing? You're back selling dope?
I want to know!
Please, it's not what you think it is.
You don't want to
know what I'm thinking.
Just make sure they leave.
The sooner, the better.
Oh! Jesus Christ! You
scared the shit out of me!
Sorry, Olympia.
I would have called in advance,
but I figured you don't
want to talk to me.
Hello, Mrs. Gigante.
What the fuck do you two want?
Information.
Who'd you get to put the hit out on me?
Gambino? Lucchese?
I don't know what the
fuck you're talkin' about.
And I don't have time for this shit.
Get the fuck out of my
house before I call the cops.
Who did you go to?
I ain't sayin' nothing.
And you two are gonna rot in hell.
I am a gentleman.
Please do not make me be discourteous.
You realize you're
signing your death warrant,
threatening me, right?
Your husband already wants me dead.
I got nothing to lose.
You won't tell us who,
we'll dig up the body,
see if I recognize the bastard.
Let's go.
Now!
Holy shit! I'm gonna fuckin' puke.
Just keep fuckin' diggin'.
You're both sick, and this is sick.
Or you could just tell us who it was.
Fuck you.
Why don't you go ask Lombardi
who put the hit out on you, huh?
Lombardi's dead.
They killed him, too.
I always knew that little-girl
act of yours was pure bullshit.
Got something, boss.
Ah, he looks like a lot of guys.
All right, keep digging.
I doubt if there's
anything in his pockets,
but doesn't hurt to check.
Smell that?
Rotting corpse.
You know, we wouldn't
have to go through all this
if you just told us.
- Okay, boss.
- You're one tough broad.
I'll give you that.
Oh, shit.
It's Frank Barboza.
How do you know?
The watch.
It's a Rolex 1060 with a diamond dial.
He always wore it.
Know who gave him this watch?
Tommy Lucchese.
They were like brothers.
Frank was his most trusted hit man.
So?
So you convinced Lucchese to do the job.
How'd you do it?
Isn't it wonderful Bumpy
gave us these tickets?
He was taking Mayme to the Caymans,
and he had some sort of
last-minute business meeting.
Yes, indeed.
Archie, what's wrong?
Why'd he suddenly give us these
travel tickets out of nowhere?
You thought of that?
What's gotten into you?
He's being generous.
Yes, and I have a bridge
I'd like to sell you.
Oh! Aah!
Oh!
Archie! Oh, God!
Archie!
Archie! Archie!
You caused the biggest
fuckin' mess for me
by arresting Jose Battle.
I just had to shoot
Bumpy Johnson's lawyer
'cause I needed a fall guy.
You got any new information for me,
or you just come to complain, Conrad?
I found out Malcolm X and Che Guevara
are planning to speak at the UN.
Those commie fucks want
to spread their propaganda
not just in this country,
but throughout the world.
What's Harvey gonna do?
That fat fuck doesn't just
lay his plans out on the table.
You've been undercover with him
for over a year, Agent Conrad.
You need to dig deeper.
Listen, asshole, you're
putting me in danger.
And now Bumpy Johnson's involved,
and he's growing suspicious.
Johnson's not gonna stop us or
the CIA from getting Malcolm.
Just Just figure out what
Harvey's next move is, okay?
Look, all I can tell
you is he's determined
to get Malcolm before the FBI does.
This getting too hot for you?
You want off this detail?
Look, I want Malcolm X just
as bad as J. Edgar Hoover.
But from now on, you
let me handle Harvey,
and stay the fuck out of it.
Fuckin' asshole.
- Welcome home, Jose.
- Gracias.
Congratulations on gettin' out.
Bumpy, it's all gonna be fine, man.
How'd you get out so fast?
- Witness had a change of heart.
- It stopped beating.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
The Feds arrested Jose 'cause
Archie Gaines was a snitch.
We took care of it.
What'd you do?
The FBI handed us undeniable proof.
What proof?
Archie Gaines visited the
Federal Building downtown
on the 14th and 17th. He talked.
And the cherry on top
he and his wife were
fleeing to the Cayman Islands
when we got him.
Why would anyone do that to him?
I don't know.
Archie would never hurt a fly.
He was a great man.
We met when we were 15.
We've been together ever since.
I know.
I can't understand it.
Just as we were going away.
Well, did you talk to the police?
- Oh.
- What did they say?
They won't do anything.
I know it.
You have to ask Bumpy.
- Ask him what?
- Find out who did this.
Deliver justice to me.
I know he can do it.
Please.
You and Bumpy are the only
people in the world I trust.
Ohh.
What the fuck is that?
Oh, it's a present.
From Frank Barboza.
Frank Barboza? He's in Florida.
He's dead.
Thanks to Stella Gigante.
Got to admit, she's one tough broad.
What the fuck does
that have to do with me?
Olympia. What the fuck is going on?
He knows, Tommy.
He knows everything.
You not only put a hit
out on a boss's daughter,
you also fucked his wife.
You think I offered
him this information?
Tommy, he threatened
me. I had no choice!
Joey, get her the fuck out of here!
This is no place for a woman.
Get her out of here, Joe.
All right, go ahead.
Yeah, I don't know, Tommy.
If I was you, I'd want to
keep this quiet, you know?
What the fuck you want, Joe?
I need you and the other bosses
to sanction Chin for the hit on me.
Even if I get the other bosses to agree
to this sanction against
Chin, in fuckin' prison,
what stops him from runnin'
to the fuckin' Feds for safety?
Yeah, no, I know.
All the sanction has to say is,
if anything happens to me, he dies.
That's it, Joe?
And half your dope profits.
Fuck you, Colombo. Go fuck yourself.
I got your life in my hands, Tommy.
Word gets out, you don't make
it past breakfast tomorrow.
You motherfucker!
One more thing.
Part of the reason for the hit
was he thought I was fuckin'
his daughter, which I wasn't.
But the other part is that he thinks
the dope puts me in position
to take over his territory.
So I'm gonna prove him
right. I'm takin' Harlem.
Elise. Malcolm.
I need to speak with you immediately.
It's of grave urgency.
Can we please clear the room?
What did you want to
say to us, Brother Omar?
I seem to recall you were
the one who gave me command
of the Fruit of Islam,
with the blessing of Elijah.
And there's a reason for that.
I was very thorough.
I'm sure you remember
the office sweeps we did,
Brother Minister.
And the background
checks on any new members,
once the cops started
planting their men.
I heard about the NOI's
death threats against Malcolm,
so I did some investigating.
We're well aware of the
NOI's ramblings, Omar.
It's worse than you think.
What threats are you talking about?
I spoke with Sister Marny,
made her think I was on her side.
And she pointed me to
Mosque Number 25 in Newark,
where Brother Clyde and Sister Sondra
are crafting a plan to, uh
to kill you, Malcolm.
Sister Sondra?
From Mosque Number 7?
Why are you doing all this?
Why risk your life?
I wanted to redeem myself
through deed and not word.
And I'm honored to be of service.
Goodbye, Malcolm.
Goodbye, Elise.
Hold on a moment, Brother Omar.
Are you certain?
Yes, I am.
I would be honored to serve
the MMI in any way that I can.
I want you to be my chief of security.
That is, only if Elise approves.
He can stay.
I must say, I'm surprised
to see you here, Mr. Johnson.
So what?
You just let your
witnesses get popped now?
- No protection?
- Excuse me?
You arrested Battle, not me.
It led to Archie Gaines' murder.
I have no idea who or
what you're talking about.
The classified
informant Archie Gaines!
You left him wide-ass-open!
I have no idea who Archie Gaines is.
And furthermore, I don't
discuss witnesses with anyone.
You think this is about
gangsters in Harlem?
Or Or Or your
little cocaine operation?
Mr. Pike, they're waiting for you
in the United Nations security meeting.
I'm coming. Two seconds.
Fuck this.
You're a patsy.
And there's a much bigger
game being played here.
It's about the fate of this country.
Sorry, that's all I'm gonna say.
Mr. Johnson?
Yeah.
I'll be sad to see you go.
I'll send you a postcard.
Where you going?
Just to Delia's in Philly.
I got something for ya.
Go on, open it.
It's a first-class ticket to Paris.
I booked you the best
hotel for your first month.
That's nice of you.
Believe it or not, I want
you to be happy, Stella.
I really do.
What would make you happy?
Honestly
if you didn't go.
Being around you
has taught me a lot of things.
A lot of preconceived
ideas I've had about women
and about this thing of ours,
about what's missing in my life.
Joe.
Uh, I ain't asking you to marry me.
I'm talkin' business.
You're way smarter than all
of these bozos I work with.
More capable.
And don't take this the wrong way,
but pretty fuckin' ruthless
when you have to be.
Now, see, I want you to stay because
I think you can help me.
And because I trust you.
And I like you.
You're crazy.
Hmm, kinda be like my
female consigliere, you know?
And in return, I'll make you rich.
Do you think that this thing of yours
has room for a woman?
Not just any woman.
Let's see how it goes.
I can always leave, right?
Yeah.
So, I call Washington,
and I say it's a
.50-caliber machine gun.
They say, "Don't. Just don't."
Bumpy, join the party.
Had a little chat with Pike.
Yeah?
What'd you learn?
All roads lead to Malcolm.
I'd be very careful, brother.
You're playing with fire.
The CIA and FBI duking it out
for who gets to bring home the scalp.
Throw in the NYPD for good measure.
What are you talkin' about?
These clever fucks
fooled you, too, Jose.
There was no rat, just the
FBI fuckin' with the CIA.
They arrested you just to slow down
Harvey's momentum on Malcolm.
No rat, only a mole.
A mole? Fuck you. Where?
I've been rolling it around in my head.
Who else had access to our bank records?
The mole is Conrad.
He's feeding the FBI your intel.
- You son-of-a-bitch liar.
- It's bullshit.
He offed Archie Gaines
to cover his tracks.
Conrad is FBI.
Fuck you!
You want to sing, or
should I loosen you up
with a shot to the knee?
Okay, this is my guy.
I'll be taking it from here.
Troy, listen to me.
Guilty or not, no one's
shooting you, you understand?
I should fucking hope not.
Now, look here, if Johnson's right
and our investigation doesn't clear you,
it'd be best for you
if you fessed up now.
They go much easier on truth tellers.
Don't listen to this son of a bitch.
I would never fucking betray you.
Conrad, I've known you a year.
I was at your kid's baptism.
You need to be straight with me.
I'm not FBI.
Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong.
I don't leave loose ends.
The great "Wild Bill" went a
year without smellin' a rat.
It's a big boy's game.
Shit happens.
Yeah, you're right.
I should've smelled a rat sooner myself.
What?
You were the only one I told
about Malcolm speaking with
Che at the United Nations.
How would Pike know that?
From his mole Conrad here.
And his mole got it from you.
Do you understand what
your friend is doing?
Partnering with Che Guevara,
a man who wants to have
communist revolutions
all over the world.
Bumpy, you got to realize,
the buddy-buddy shit
with this Malcolm character
is gonna destroy your business,
if not your life.
Remember, Bill, if I get touched,
Operation Mongoose goes public.
I'm sorry, brother.
I don't trust you anymore.
This partnership is over.
What's that?
If he finds out that I was involved
with his daughter disappearing
Who says he has to find out?
Joe Colombo's doing a very good job,
minding the store and
also protecting you, and
He's trying to fuck me.
You just come from my father?
Fineman told him about
what's going on with Colombo.
Not gonna have to worry
about Joe Colombo anymore.
I never said I wanted him hurt.
I understand he has
plans for a new mosque.
Omar wants to work for Malcolm.
I want you to swear that
you will never do anything
to harm Malcolm.
I swear before Allah.
Now it's your turn. Swear
you don't love me anymore.
I'm not ready for that just yet.
- Omar's asked me out on a date.
- You have to forgive him
if you're going to
give him a real chance.
Malcolm is risking his life
to fight for our freedom.
Omar, I thought you said
Elise was an intelligent woman.
You don't want me to be
in the heroin business?
If our quality of life
goes down, so be it.
I love you more than words can say.
It shouldn't be difficult to transfer
Palmetto's ownership to your name.
Landing a contract like this
could really push him
in the right direction.
Your application has been rejected.
I will never do anything criminal again.
Jose says you have a proposition for us.
The CIA incinerates hundreds
of kilos of cocaine a month.
Turn it over to us. We sell it.
A quarter of the profits go to you
and the fight against Castro.
You have something we want.
Intimate access to Malcolm X.
You get us that, you boys can
have all the coke you want.
Were you able to acquire the information
I requested about Malcolm?
You and he and your
daughter met for lunch.
I've done some research,
too. Operation Mongoose.
Which would make headline news
if I were suddenly to disappear.
So keep the fuck away from Malcolm.
You'll get 25%, and there'll be no fuss.
I'm fucking impressed.
Let's get this shit out of here.
We're taking back Harlem.
I got no fucking problem
giving up information
on that commie Negro.
Let us drink to that.
We started out small,
but this is gonna be big.
Here comes trouble.
Hey, Joe. What's up?
Why you bringin' a crew to the sit-down?
'Cause I don't trust none of you fucks!
Chin Gigante put a hit out on me
something he couldn't have done
without your fuckin' approval.
What the fuck are you talkin' about?
I bring in all the dope,
make millions for you greedy bastards,
got rid of Bumpy fuckin' Johnson.
This is how you repay me?
Get the fuckin' sanction
taken off my head!
Hey, tough guy, maybe you
should have thought twice
before you fucked Chin's daughter!
- What?
- We got a couple of associates
in Cell Block C in Sing Sing
said Chin went a little berserk.
I can't say I blame him
for tryin' to take you out.
With all due respect, Joe
Joe, look at me when
I'm fuckin' talkin'.
With all due respect,
don't you think it would've been smarter
if you kept it in your fuckin' pants?
Listen to me good.
I never fuckin' touched his daughter.
Whether you did or you
didn't, it's not our business,
but that can explain
what the fuck is goin' on.
Joseph, we have rules,
but a father's a father.
A single boss sanctions another boss,
and you pezzonovantes do nothing.
This Commission is fuckin' bullshit.
You motherfuckers are useless.
You really did move the shit.
No business like show
business for the coke business.
It was a smart plan.
Go after the musicians,
then the managers,
then the big-shot executives.
They have all the dough.
Harvey has 40 keys for us tomorrow.
Forty's too much.
Got to roll it out slowly.
You can move 40.
You got an instinct for
this shit. I trust you.
Boils down to it, instinct's all we got.
All right.
I really admire how
you stood your ground
for your friend Malcolm X.
He's my brother.
You look after him, keep him protected.
Hey, why do you think
our friends in the CIA
are so interested in him?
They view him as the most
dangerous man in America.
Why?
Nobody knows this, but Malcolm and Che
are gonna be speaking
at the United Nations.
That's just between me and you.
I don't want nothing
to happen to Malcolm.
I would never betray your confidence.
Never on my life.
You boys come out for a drink?
Jose Battle, the FBI has
a warrant for your arrest.
Who the fuck are you?
I'm Assistant District
Attorney Jonathan Pike.
You're being charged
with money laundering.
Let's go.
May I come in?
Sure.
- See you're packin' up.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm going back up to Philly
to stay with Delia for a while.
I want to thank you for
taking care of me for this time
and understanding that I need
to go and find my own life.
Before you go
maybe you could give me some advice.
About what?
Well, for instance
why would your father
think that you and I are involved?
Involved?
In an intimate way.
I have no idea.
That could explain why
his underboss Lombardi
tried to put a bullet
in my head, could it not?
Nah, I don't think that's it.
Well, what would even give him
the idea that we're involved?
Any thoughts?
No. No, I have no idea.
You know my father.
He's in a bathrobe
half the fuckin' time.
I think there's something
you're not telling me.
No.
Honest.
Stella
think hard.
Why would Chin Gigante,
who's charged me with
protecting his daughter,
put out a fuckin' hit on
me with you in the room?
It could have been his lawyer.
- Fineman?
- Yeah, I met with him.
And he saw the necklace
that you gave me,
and it's possible he drew
the wrong conclusions.
- Fineman did?
- I think so.
And did you try and dissuade
him from that notion?
I did.
Get that fuckin' lawyer on the phone.
Tell him you want to
meet him immediately.
What are you gonna do to him?
Whatever the fuck it takes.
What's goin' on here?
Why is this guy Pike
crawling up our ass?
This is the FBI fuckin' with us.
They've had a bug up their
ass over us since the '50s.
The FBI and CIA are
at war with each other.
You got to understand,
before we came along,
they were Big Dick McGee.
Now they're hall monitors.
What I don't understand is,
why'd they pinch Battle and not me?
Oh, 'cause they know you don't sing,
so take a shot with your partner.
More likely, they've got
a classified informant.
A rat? Who?
On your side.
Who, besides us, has
access to the transactions?
My banker.
I got a judge and a lawyer on payroll.
But that's it, that's it.
Anyone jump out?
In my experience, whichever one it is,
they'll deny it the strongest.
I'll press our contacts,
see what I can pull.
If we can't finger
anybody by evening time,
they all got to go.
Hey, motherfucker, these are my people.
I deal with them first, and
then I assess the situation.
Talk to your guys.
I will have Conrad press our contacts.
But be advised, boys,
we find out one of your
brothers is the rat,
they will be handled
with extreme prejudice.
"Such a man as Malcolm
deserves nothing short of death."
They should have drawn Elijah Muhammad
as the Big Bad Wolf.
This isn't a joke.
Elijah's blatantly ordering
his men to kill you.
If the CIA couldn't kill me with poison,
the NOI won't do it with a cartoon.
Thank you.
Brother Malcolm, the United Nations
has just confirmed your
speech with Che Guevara.
Excellent.
Don't worry about this.
It'll be lining bird cages by tomorrow.
Malcolm, look around.
These people gave up
everything to follow you.
What will they do if
you end up in a casket?
What would Betty do?
I know I'm going to die, Elise.
I'm making the most of borrowed time.
That doesn't have to be
true. You can stop this.
I've been in 12 cities
in the past few months.
In each one, someone was following me.
I can't even tie my shoes
without looking over my shoulder.
That doesn't mean you give
up. What's wrong with you?
I'm tired of running.
If anyone comes after me,
I'll be waiting with my dukes up,
not hiding behind a bush.
Malcolm's new followers must
have a death wish, same as he.
How could they leave the Dear
Holy Apostle to follow him?
You know how Malcolm does,
how he brainwashes people.
I know I brought shame to the
Nation for failing so terribly.
You and Captain Henry were the only ones
who had courage enough to take action.
You are a hero.
It's a shame it cost Henry his life.
In a way, what you're doing
now is even more potent
feigning friendship.
Soon, Malcolm will let
all his guards down.
It's really wonderful
to see you again, Omar.
We have always had similar ambitions.
I'm inspired by your tenacity.
Perhaps there's an opportunity for us
to collaborate.
What did you have in mind?
If Mosque Number 7 was
compelled to any further action,
you would know.
There's nothing really to speak of.
We both know that's not true.
Thanks to you and Henry's incident,
we've had to lay low.
Henry and I had the courage
to do what others only whispered about.
I don't want his death to be in vain.
Help me finish what we started.
Our sister mosque in Newark,
they stepped up to the front line.
Brother Clyde is who
you should speak with.
How you doing?
Compared to La Cabaña Prison in Cuba,
where I spent two
years, this is paradise.
Still, I need to get the fuck out.
The FBI has a snitch.
Our friends think that
it's one of my associates.
I disagree.
Our friends know what
they're talkin' about.
Probably one of those three
cocksuckers you brought to me.
My guts tell me that they
got nothing to do with this.
But I will talk to them.
Could it be a snitch
coming from your side?
Impossible.
My men know that they will die
a very slow and painful death.
Something just just
doesn't make any sense.
And why am I in here and not you?
It's a good question.
It's obvious.
One of your friends made a deal.
They turn on me so as not to betray you.
Probably that fat-ass judge.
Just give me some time
to figure this out.
Just trust me.
It's a little difficult
to do in my position.
I've been in many prisons,
aside from Alcatraz.
There's no one who wants
your freedom more than me.
Do what you must.
Find out which one of
your friends put me here.
'Cause if you don't, our friends will.
Get the fuck out.
I told you, there's nothing I can do.
You better fuckin' think of something.
He's in solitary.
Even if I could speak to him,
you think he listens to me?
No one can tell him what to do.
Joe, stop.
He's right. When it comes
to me, my father's insane.
Yeah, that much is clear.
There is something else.
What the fuck are you not tellin' me?
Nothing.
Oh, f Oh, fuck!
A couple weeks ago,
I cut a man's head off
with a fuckin' handsaw.
You think I won't blow
your fuckin' brains
all over that wall?
He thinks you're cheating him.
What the f
His cut last month was $2 million!
He's never made that much off heroin!
That's a fact!
You think that crazy act
of his is just an act?
I think he is legally insane.
He's not crazy when
it comes to business.
He thinks you're getting too
powerful with the other bosses
because you're making
them so much money.
He's worried that
you're gonna take Harlem.
I protected Harlem! I protected you!
- Untie him.
- Yeah, boss.
As of this moment, I am
resigning as his lawyer.
I am not cut out for this shit.
You're gonna stay exactly
where the fuck you are.
You're gonna clean up this
lie about me and Stella.
You're gonna tell me every
fuckin' thing he says and does.
If I do that, he'll kill me.
I'll kill you if you don't.
Your choice.
Huh.
Excuse me?
Are you suggesting that
The DA confirmed that there's
a confidential informant.
- I do not have to endure
- Sit Sit the fuck down!
Sit the fuck
This is outrageous.
I mean, what good would
it do any one of us,
after all the things
we've been involved in?
Have any of you been approached
by the Feds?
People can die from this shit.
I need the truth.
No.
Never.
- Judge?
- No.
- Dayton?
- No.
Why are you certain it's one of us?
No one else has access
to those documents.
I'm gonna get real
and ask you as a brother
of the Lenox Hill Society.
Did one of you talk to the Feds?
On your most sacred honor.
Let me make something clear
about our relationship with you, Bumpy.
Your forthrightness, your integrity,
your loyalty to our fraternity
have had a profound effect on us.
We admire you.
You keep your word.
We've had our differences.
However, we know that you
would never betray any of us.
And following your lead,
we would never betray you.
I haven't done it.
And I believe my brothers
would never do such a thing.
So
guess this wasn't just about him
thinking you were in my pants.
Uh, he was using you for something
he was gonna do anyway.
Take me out.
That doesn't make it any better
that I got you in trouble.
Maybe you can appreciate why
I want to leave the country.
Hey.
It's not your fight.
It's mine.
You want to take off
I owe you that for saving my life.
I lied to you, Joe.
It wasn't the necklace that did it.
I told Fineman you tried to fuck me.
Ohh.
I'm sorry.
I told him not to say anything
to my father, but he did anyway.
Do you have any idea what you've done?
Everything I've worked for
destroyed.
You made your father
my blood enemy for life.
I got you into this
mess. I'll get you out.
I know how to handle my father.
How?
The other bosses.
What if they all agree to sanction him?
What would that do?
It means if he kills me, they kill him.
But forget it.
They'll never do it, those fucks.
- Unless you force them.
- Wha
No, you forget, one of those
bosses tried to have me killed.
We figure out who that
was, use it as leverage.
You don't know which boss.
I know someone who does.
You can be a great asset for us,
given all that you
learned about Malcolm.
That's why I came here.
I want to help ensure
your plans will succeed.
I want to be on the front
lines with you, Brother Clyde.
Because of your initial attempt,
I think it best you
remain behind the scenes.
You just said I'd make a great asset.
I can tell you where
Malcolm works, sleeps,
when his guards switch shifts.
Which makes you a beneficial
informant, not a soldier.
Brother Omar.
You're back. I've wondered about you.
Have you and Elise reconciled?
It has, uh
been a process.
I worry about her.
Malcolm has her so
deceived. She needs you.
I wish she felt that way.
Sondra let's not pry
into Brother Omar's personal business.
No, no, it's
Please.
Excuse my wife.
It's the truth.
He almost saved the Nation.
It's taken dozens of us to
do what he did all by himself.
There may be some
people interested in you.
Let's call them higher powers.
Higher powers?
The kind not bound by the
principles of the Quran.
It's nice to see you, Bill.
I figured you might stop
by at some point, catch up.
Oh, you know me, Johnny,
always shamelessly glomming for a favor.
Hmm. And what's that?
Drop the charges against Jose Battle
and release him before,
I don't know, lunch.
And why would I consider releasing
a suspected drug trafficker and killer?
'Cause we both know it's
not about that, John.
Jose Battle is a nuisance arrest
to keep us from using him
against a high-value target.
The target's no longer on foreign soil.
He's FBI jurisdiction now.
You boys are all about
the governmental blue
ribbons and nice press, huh?
You guys had your chance
on Malcolm in Africa.
You blew it.
Malcolm X has moved
from being a ghetto domestic
threat of limited consequence
to a man of international influence.
He's speaking at the fuckin'
UN, for Christ's sake.
The FBI is not equipped to
handle the ramifications.
Just stick to catching bank robbers.
How's that the Castro thing going?
You, uh, blow up any cigars lately?
Let's look at it this way.
The director of the FBI, Mr. Hoover,
answers to the Attorney General.
When the CIA calls President Johnson
and he's taking a shit,
he picks up before he wipes his ass.
Battle's mine right now.
I'm sorry if that creates a nuisance.
I have photographs of
your boss, J. Edgar,
wearing an Edith Overall summer
dress and a crooked blond wig.
I want Jose Battle out of jail, pronto.
I wish somebody, yeah ♪
Would come and ease
my troublin' mind ♪
Sweet potato pie?
Is it a holiday today?
I miss something? Huh?
It's Margaret's favorite dessert.
Hmm.
I know she's not here right now,
but makes me feel better to make it.
She'll be back soon, I promise.
I need to ask you a favor.
I got to get this pie into the oven.
It's important. About Lillian.
Lillian?
What about her?
You've often mentioned how she complains
about never going on
vacation with Archie.
I need you to encourage her to go.
Why?
Tell her that I bought plane
tickets and we can't use them.
And then just give them to her, okay?
You want me to convince Lillian
to go away with her husband,
and you won't tell me why?
Archie's been doing some work for me.
And there's some people
that think that he might
be talking to the Feds.
They could be right.
Ellsworth, what have
you gotten him into?
Nothing that he didn't want to get into.
- Well, is he in danger?
- Not if he goes away.
I just want him out of
town while I clean this up.
Lillian mustn't know
anything about this, okay?
This is outrageous.
What are we talking about?
Money laundering?
Drug dealing? You're back selling dope?
I want to know!
Please, it's not what you think it is.
You don't want to
know what I'm thinking.
Just make sure they leave.
The sooner, the better.
Oh! Jesus Christ! You
scared the shit out of me!
Sorry, Olympia.
I would have called in advance,
but I figured you don't
want to talk to me.
Hello, Mrs. Gigante.
What the fuck do you two want?
Information.
Who'd you get to put the hit out on me?
Gambino? Lucchese?
I don't know what the
fuck you're talkin' about.
And I don't have time for this shit.
Get the fuck out of my
house before I call the cops.
Who did you go to?
I ain't sayin' nothing.
And you two are gonna rot in hell.
I am a gentleman.
Please do not make me be discourteous.
You realize you're
signing your death warrant,
threatening me, right?
Your husband already wants me dead.
I got nothing to lose.
You won't tell us who,
we'll dig up the body,
see if I recognize the bastard.
Let's go.
Now!
Holy shit! I'm gonna fuckin' puke.
Just keep fuckin' diggin'.
You're both sick, and this is sick.
Or you could just tell us who it was.
Fuck you.
Why don't you go ask Lombardi
who put the hit out on you, huh?
Lombardi's dead.
They killed him, too.
I always knew that little-girl
act of yours was pure bullshit.
Got something, boss.
Ah, he looks like a lot of guys.
All right, keep digging.
I doubt if there's
anything in his pockets,
but doesn't hurt to check.
Smell that?
Rotting corpse.
You know, we wouldn't
have to go through all this
if you just told us.
- Okay, boss.
- You're one tough broad.
I'll give you that.
Oh, shit.
It's Frank Barboza.
How do you know?
The watch.
It's a Rolex 1060 with a diamond dial.
He always wore it.
Know who gave him this watch?
Tommy Lucchese.
They were like brothers.
Frank was his most trusted hit man.
So?
So you convinced Lucchese to do the job.
How'd you do it?
Isn't it wonderful Bumpy
gave us these tickets?
He was taking Mayme to the Caymans,
and he had some sort of
last-minute business meeting.
Yes, indeed.
Archie, what's wrong?
Why'd he suddenly give us these
travel tickets out of nowhere?
You thought of that?
What's gotten into you?
He's being generous.
Yes, and I have a bridge
I'd like to sell you.
Oh! Aah!
Oh!
Archie! Oh, God!
Archie!
Archie! Archie!
You caused the biggest
fuckin' mess for me
by arresting Jose Battle.
I just had to shoot
Bumpy Johnson's lawyer
'cause I needed a fall guy.
You got any new information for me,
or you just come to complain, Conrad?
I found out Malcolm X and Che Guevara
are planning to speak at the UN.
Those commie fucks want
to spread their propaganda
not just in this country,
but throughout the world.
What's Harvey gonna do?
That fat fuck doesn't just
lay his plans out on the table.
You've been undercover with him
for over a year, Agent Conrad.
You need to dig deeper.
Listen, asshole, you're
putting me in danger.
And now Bumpy Johnson's involved,
and he's growing suspicious.
Johnson's not gonna stop us or
the CIA from getting Malcolm.
Just Just figure out what
Harvey's next move is, okay?
Look, all I can tell
you is he's determined
to get Malcolm before the FBI does.
This getting too hot for you?
You want off this detail?
Look, I want Malcolm X just
as bad as J. Edgar Hoover.
But from now on, you
let me handle Harvey,
and stay the fuck out of it.
Fuckin' asshole.
- Welcome home, Jose.
- Gracias.
Congratulations on gettin' out.
Bumpy, it's all gonna be fine, man.
How'd you get out so fast?
- Witness had a change of heart.
- It stopped beating.
What the fuck you talkin' about?
The Feds arrested Jose 'cause
Archie Gaines was a snitch.
We took care of it.
What'd you do?
The FBI handed us undeniable proof.
What proof?
Archie Gaines visited the
Federal Building downtown
on the 14th and 17th. He talked.
And the cherry on top
he and his wife were
fleeing to the Cayman Islands
when we got him.
Why would anyone do that to him?
I don't know.
Archie would never hurt a fly.
He was a great man.
We met when we were 15.
We've been together ever since.
I know.
I can't understand it.
Just as we were going away.
Well, did you talk to the police?
- Oh.
- What did they say?
They won't do anything.
I know it.
You have to ask Bumpy.
- Ask him what?
- Find out who did this.
Deliver justice to me.
I know he can do it.
Please.
You and Bumpy are the only
people in the world I trust.
Ohh.
What the fuck is that?
Oh, it's a present.
From Frank Barboza.
Frank Barboza? He's in Florida.
He's dead.
Thanks to Stella Gigante.
Got to admit, she's one tough broad.
What the fuck does
that have to do with me?
Olympia. What the fuck is going on?
He knows, Tommy.
He knows everything.
You not only put a hit
out on a boss's daughter,
you also fucked his wife.
You think I offered
him this information?
Tommy, he threatened
me. I had no choice!
Joey, get her the fuck out of here!
This is no place for a woman.
Get her out of here, Joe.
All right, go ahead.
Yeah, I don't know, Tommy.
If I was you, I'd want to
keep this quiet, you know?
What the fuck you want, Joe?
I need you and the other bosses
to sanction Chin for the hit on me.
Even if I get the other bosses to agree
to this sanction against
Chin, in fuckin' prison,
what stops him from runnin'
to the fuckin' Feds for safety?
Yeah, no, I know.
All the sanction has to say is,
if anything happens to me, he dies.
That's it, Joe?
And half your dope profits.
Fuck you, Colombo. Go fuck yourself.
I got your life in my hands, Tommy.
Word gets out, you don't make
it past breakfast tomorrow.
You motherfucker!
One more thing.
Part of the reason for the hit
was he thought I was fuckin'
his daughter, which I wasn't.
But the other part is that he thinks
the dope puts me in position
to take over his territory.
So I'm gonna prove him
right. I'm takin' Harlem.
Elise. Malcolm.
I need to speak with you immediately.
It's of grave urgency.
Can we please clear the room?
What did you want to
say to us, Brother Omar?
I seem to recall you were
the one who gave me command
of the Fruit of Islam,
with the blessing of Elijah.
And there's a reason for that.
I was very thorough.
I'm sure you remember
the office sweeps we did,
Brother Minister.
And the background
checks on any new members,
once the cops started
planting their men.
I heard about the NOI's
death threats against Malcolm,
so I did some investigating.
We're well aware of the
NOI's ramblings, Omar.
It's worse than you think.
What threats are you talking about?
I spoke with Sister Marny,
made her think I was on her side.
And she pointed me to
Mosque Number 25 in Newark,
where Brother Clyde and Sister Sondra
are crafting a plan to, uh
to kill you, Malcolm.
Sister Sondra?
From Mosque Number 7?
Why are you doing all this?
Why risk your life?
I wanted to redeem myself
through deed and not word.
And I'm honored to be of service.
Goodbye, Malcolm.
Goodbye, Elise.
Hold on a moment, Brother Omar.
Are you certain?
Yes, I am.
I would be honored to serve
the MMI in any way that I can.
I want you to be my chief of security.
That is, only if Elise approves.
He can stay.
I must say, I'm surprised
to see you here, Mr. Johnson.
So what?
You just let your
witnesses get popped now?
- No protection?
- Excuse me?
You arrested Battle, not me.
It led to Archie Gaines' murder.
I have no idea who or
what you're talking about.
The classified
informant Archie Gaines!
You left him wide-ass-open!
I have no idea who Archie Gaines is.
And furthermore, I don't
discuss witnesses with anyone.
You think this is about
gangsters in Harlem?
Or Or Or your
little cocaine operation?
Mr. Pike, they're waiting for you
in the United Nations security meeting.
I'm coming. Two seconds.
Fuck this.
You're a patsy.
And there's a much bigger
game being played here.
It's about the fate of this country.
Sorry, that's all I'm gonna say.
Mr. Johnson?
Yeah.
I'll be sad to see you go.
I'll send you a postcard.
Where you going?
Just to Delia's in Philly.
I got something for ya.
Go on, open it.
It's a first-class ticket to Paris.
I booked you the best
hotel for your first month.
That's nice of you.
Believe it or not, I want
you to be happy, Stella.
I really do.
What would make you happy?
Honestly
if you didn't go.
Being around you
has taught me a lot of things.
A lot of preconceived
ideas I've had about women
and about this thing of ours,
about what's missing in my life.
Joe.
Uh, I ain't asking you to marry me.
I'm talkin' business.
You're way smarter than all
of these bozos I work with.
More capable.
And don't take this the wrong way,
but pretty fuckin' ruthless
when you have to be.
Now, see, I want you to stay because
I think you can help me.
And because I trust you.
And I like you.
You're crazy.
Hmm, kinda be like my
female consigliere, you know?
And in return, I'll make you rich.
Do you think that this thing of yours
has room for a woman?
Not just any woman.
Let's see how it goes.
I can always leave, right?
Yeah.
So, I call Washington,
and I say it's a
.50-caliber machine gun.
They say, "Don't. Just don't."
Bumpy, join the party.
Had a little chat with Pike.
Yeah?
What'd you learn?
All roads lead to Malcolm.
I'd be very careful, brother.
You're playing with fire.
The CIA and FBI duking it out
for who gets to bring home the scalp.
Throw in the NYPD for good measure.
What are you talkin' about?
These clever fucks
fooled you, too, Jose.
There was no rat, just the
FBI fuckin' with the CIA.
They arrested you just to slow down
Harvey's momentum on Malcolm.
No rat, only a mole.
A mole? Fuck you. Where?
I've been rolling it around in my head.
Who else had access to our bank records?
The mole is Conrad.
He's feeding the FBI your intel.
- You son-of-a-bitch liar.
- It's bullshit.
He offed Archie Gaines
to cover his tracks.
Conrad is FBI.
Fuck you!
You want to sing, or
should I loosen you up
with a shot to the knee?
Okay, this is my guy.
I'll be taking it from here.
Troy, listen to me.
Guilty or not, no one's
shooting you, you understand?
I should fucking hope not.
Now, look here, if Johnson's right
and our investigation doesn't clear you,
it'd be best for you
if you fessed up now.
They go much easier on truth tellers.
Don't listen to this son of a bitch.
I would never fucking betray you.
Conrad, I've known you a year.
I was at your kid's baptism.
You need to be straight with me.
I'm not FBI.
Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong.
I don't leave loose ends.
The great "Wild Bill" went a
year without smellin' a rat.
It's a big boy's game.
Shit happens.
Yeah, you're right.
I should've smelled a rat sooner myself.
What?
You were the only one I told
about Malcolm speaking with
Che at the United Nations.
How would Pike know that?
From his mole Conrad here.
And his mole got it from you.
Do you understand what
your friend is doing?
Partnering with Che Guevara,
a man who wants to have
communist revolutions
all over the world.
Bumpy, you got to realize,
the buddy-buddy shit
with this Malcolm character
is gonna destroy your business,
if not your life.
Remember, Bill, if I get touched,
Operation Mongoose goes public.
I'm sorry, brother.
I don't trust you anymore.
This partnership is over.
What's that?
