Got to thank you for the cards.
And the Tab.
Do you want a lawyer present? I'm an old man.
So you don't need an attorney.
You're a young guy.
- I don't follow.
- You don't want me.
Careers aren't made on white-haired gentlemen with long rap sheets.
You got something better? I got facts you'd be interested in.
I see.
Yeah.
You give me a chance I can lead you to the truth of many things.
So you're an innocent man.
- "Innocent"? - Hmm.

I'm in with the black community through the female side.
But I, uh I'm not gonna hide nothin' from ya.

Uh-huh.
20 years in Walpole.
The time I spent in Walpole was for a crime I did not commit.
Crime you arrested me for I didn't do that neither.
- Really? - Really.
But I could tell you who really shot Sully Sullivan between the eyes.
Yeah? Who shot Sean Walker the same way.
I can tell you about who killed Cookie Brown, about who killed that Boston Globereporter.
I'd be interested in all that.
Plus who killed Frank Barnes if you let me go.
If I can make a case.
It saddens me to say this [EXHALES DEEPLY.]
but, uh all those people Sully, Cookie Brown, that poor girl, Frank Barnes All of 'em were killed by my son Ray Donovan.
- Morning, Ray.
- Hey, Bunch.
Drinking? Sure.
Where's the gun, Daryll? Ray, I don't think I can do this.
No? He's our father, man.
And? And I'm gonna go down to the police station and tell the truth.
That's your big plan? Turn yourself in? - I pulled the trigger, Ray.
- Don't be a fucking idiot.
[RAY.]
Get yourself clear of this while you still can.
You go down to the D.
A.
's office, and you tell 'em Mickey shot Barnes.
- You understand? - Ray, why are we doing this to Mickey, man? Why? Because you and I both know the minute Mickey feels the pinch, he's gonna turn you in.
Don't think he won't, Daryll.
He's a fuckin' rat.
Always has been.
- [GLASS THUDS.]
- Remember that.
Take the gun and throw it in the river.
And Bridge will get pulled back in, and Ray will fuckin' kill me.
I'd throw the gun in the fuckin' river.
Ray's just gonna have to figure out somethin' else for Bridge.
[SOFTLY.]
You know, I could, uh I could always tell the truth.
For Mickey? Fuck that.
[CHUCKLES.]
No weapon, no murder charge.
Take the gun, throw it in the river, and be done with it.
[SLURPS.]
Frank Barnes was on Ray's payroll for years.
You didn't know that, huh? - I did not.
- [SMACKS LIPS.]
For years.
Years.
So he and Ray were close.
Not that they liked each other.
But when, uh, he took down Sokolov and his gang, Frank got greedy and started selling the heroin and the fentanyl that they lifted from the bust - Hmm.
- using Avi as his distribution.
Who's Ray's associate? Yeah.
Did, uh did Ray know about this? Sure.
Ray knows everything.
But he said not a peep.
He let that pass.
But when the DEA got wind of it, Frank needed a real favor Get rid of Avi Rudin.
What was that about? Well, you see, Avi had become a full-blown addict and a real liability, and Frank wanted the Jew out.
He told Ray, "It's him or me.
" But Ray was loyal to the Jew, so Ray fucking killed Frank.
How do you know that he actually killed Frank? He told me.
- He told you.
- Hand on the Bible.
He said he lured him to this quiet parking lot east of Chinatown on the promise of delivering Avi Rudin's dead body.
And there in the parking lot, under a full moon he led Frank to the back of his car and blew his brains out.

These are things you got to work on your entire life.
But you need tools for that, Ray Group therapy, medication, one-on-one therapy.
Now, I know you don't want to hear this right now, but that's what it takes to learn how to forgive others for what they did to you to forgive yourself.
Forgive myself for what? You can be helped.

[RAY.]
Get yourself clear of this while you still can.
You go down to the D.
A.
's office, and you tell 'em Mickey shot Barnes.
- You understand? - Ray, why are we doing this to Mickey, man? Why? Because you and I both know the minute Mickey feels the pinch, he's gonna turn you in.

He's a fuckin' rat.
Always has been.
- [GLASS THUDS.]
- Remember that.
Take the gun and throw it in the river.

Did, uh did Ray know about this? Sure.
Ray knows everything.
But he said not a peep.
He let that pass.
But when the DEA got wind of it, Frank needed a real favor Get rid of Avi Rudin.
What was that about? Well, you see, Avi had become a full-blown addict and a real liability, and Frank wanted the Jew out.
He told Ray, "It's him or me.
" But Ray was loyal to the Jew, so Ray fucking killed Frank.
How do you know that he actually killed Frank? He told me.
- He told you.
- Hand on the Bible.
He said he lured him to this quiet parking lot east of Chinatown on the promise of delivering Avi Rudin's dead body.
