[SMITTY.]
Daryll said that you went crazy on that cop.
He said that you shot him like 20 times.
[RAY.]
I shot him, he's dead.
What's the difference? [SMITTY.]
You don't feel bad? You don't feel bad for the families? [RAY.]
No, I don't feel bad.
He got what he deserved.

How 'bout Lieutenant Radulovic? Did he get what he deserved? Shot multiple times, decapitated with a fucking chainsaw and dumped like trash.
[PERRY.]
And Officer Clancy.
And Officer Bianchi.
They took my daughter.
Why? Why did they take your daughter? Because I knew what they were doin'.
What were they doing? Runnin' a kickback scam through Arthur Kill prison.
- [PERRY.]
Who was? - The cops and a judge named Scholl IAB already had an investigation a guy named Lake, but, uh guess you know what happened to him.
Who killed Lake? We makin' a deal or what? [PERRY.]
Who killed Lake? Radulovic.
Under orders from Feratti.
Wait a minute so you're tellin' me that the Mayor of New York City called a hit on an IAB investigator? That's what I just said.
Can you prove it? No.
But what if I can bring in Judge Scholl? [DARK MUSIC.]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
We need to talk.
Jesus, not out here.
Not in there either.
Why not? I found this in my office last night.
[BACKGROUND CHATTER.]
You know where, uh, Frankie Lee is? [RESPONSE INAUDIBLE.]
[KEYBOARD KEYS CLICKING.]
[MICKEY.]
Afternoon.
I'm looking for a guy named Frankie Lee.
Shut the door.
I'm Frankie Lee.
I understand that, uh, you know how to move private stock.
- Who told you that? - My sister-in-law knows a guy who, you know, knows a guy.
What kinda stocks? Twenty percent of Sullivan Industries.
[KEYS CLICKING.]
Estimated valuation pre-IPO is 2.
4 billion.
Holy shit! That much, huh? - [CHUCKLING.]
- Where's the paper? My, uh, my son has it.
It's in my other son's name.
You always sell things that don't belong to you? Basically, I'm one of the founders of Sullivan Industries, okay? It's my stock.
It's just in my son's name.
Come back when you got the paper.
[KEYS CLICKING.]
Wait, wait help me out here.
Gimme something to convince him.
How much do we lose, uh, convertin' it to cash? Will you take Bitcoin? What the fuck is that? [SMALL LAUGH.]
You want old-fashioned cash and you want to keep this deal quiet, I can get you 65, 75 million.
- Minus my 20 percent.
- Whoa! - That's a big haircut, Frankie.
- You don't like it, put your shit on eBay.
Ooh.
[DEVICE WHIRRING.]
Should be the last one.
Are you sure? [QUIETLY.]
Yeah.
What are you doin'? Calling the mayor.
Who do you think ordered all this? Feratti? He won't come after me.
He's in as deep as I am.
IAB already knows about the prison scam.
They just don't know who the players are.
My guess is Feratti's tryin' to pin it on you.
[UNEASY MUSIC.]
I got a friend inside, a detective.
Trust me, Judge they don't want us, they want the mayor.
What kind of a deal did they offer you? Immunity.
Bullshit.
I cooperate, I walk.
I'm a fuckin' judge, Ray.
They're never gonna let me walk.
You give them Feratti, they'll give you anything you want.
Call me when you're ready to talk.

I didn't everything I did was to protect you.
You wore a fucking wire.
They already have a case on your dad.
No, they don't! They didn't have a case.
They have you, and they have your fucking wire.
You don't get it they were gonna arrest everybody.
So you turn against me and my dad - Not you! - And my whole fucking family? Not you this whole thing was to save you! You did it to save yourself.
They have evidence.
They have proof.
They have fingerprints.
They have blood.
Don't you get that? That all of us, we're all just fucked.
That's the only reason I wore a wire was to save you, 'cause you didn't kill anybody.

[LAUGHS.]
I have a neighbor who pulls her children away from me on the sidewalk.
I can't blame her.
I mean, I'm I'm shaking and I lose my balance sometimes.
She must think I'm an alcoholic.
I am an alcoholic.
And I make a mean martini, shaken, not stirred.

For the stocks.
He made a fuckin' mess of things.
Why you callin' me? Your brother's holed up in some shitty motel, the Lightning Motel out in Queens.
I can't right now.
Look, I don't want this to escalate into a fuckin' war between our families.

He's in a meeting.
May I take a message please? Tell him to fucking call me.
- [PERRY.]
That's the daughter.
- [BRICKER.]
Bridget Donovan? Well, it gets better and better.
[INDISTINCT.]
[UNSETTLING MUSIC.]
Your father told me what those officers did to you.
How they kidnapped you, held you for days.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
That must have been terrifying.
Were you thinking about that when you cut their heads off? I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Then let me walk you through it.
On the night of November 7th last year, you were being held hostage at a motel in Staten Island.
[AMBIENT BACKGROUND NOISE.]
[SMITTY.]
They got Bridget.
Cops.
They came to our apartment.
They took her in.
You know, I I did it for her.
They promised they wouldn't charge her if I would.
I only did it for her.

What's the matter? - [SMITTY BREATHING HARD.]
- What's the matter, kid? What's the matter? Hey, talk to me.
- You okay? - [GASPS.]
[TERRY.]
I used to go ten rounds and hardly break a sweat.
You were a boxer? Yeah.
Look at me now.
What do you do for work? I'm retired for the most part, but I still see a few patients.
- Are you a doctor? - Yeah.
Well, maybe you can cure yourself.
Not that kind.
- Well, what kind? - Psychiatrist.
[EXHALES.]
[LAUGHS.]
- I see.
- Naw.
I don't know nothin' about that kinda shit.
Goin' to see a doctor to talk or or worse, goin' to get pills to make your dick soft.
But my kid brother, he goes to see one-a you.
I mean, he says it works, so maybe I don't know shit about shit.
Might help.
I see one.
You do? Everybody in my profession has a therapist.
That's why they're in my profession.
Well, it must be fuckin' hard bein' sick and tryin' to help sick people.
Well, actually, it helps me take my mind off myself.
[LAUGHS.]
You'd have a full-time job in my family.
Bein' a Donovan family therapist.
You could become fuckin' rich if we had any money.
I'd better get going.
H-hey, hey, listen, if if you want a drink or somethin' you just let me know, a'ight? Bye, Terry.
It was a real pleasure talking with you.
Go to the courthouse right away.
Tail the judge.
Make sure he sees ya.
- A'ight.
- [BEEP.]
So you fed a little cheese to the cops so what? You were trying to save your wife.
I should kill myself.
People pass judgment on rats.
But few understand what it's like to be under that kinda pressure.
Everyone thinks that they can hold up.
The truth is, everyone's a rat.
At one point or another.
It's human nature.
No, it's not.
Even Ray ratted me out.
Put me in prison.
I ratted other people out in order to survive.
You do what you gotta do.
You'll be all right.
You didn't rat on me, did ya? No.
I didn't say anything about you.
That's that's a good boy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey hey.
You're aces with me, kiddo, huh? You're aces with me.
Now, why don't you take your old granddad over to the bank? The bank? Why? Well, a dead man can't open a bank account, and I need a place where I can receive wire transfers.
Now, you do this for me, there's $100,000 in it for ya.
[MURMURS.]
See? Things'll get quite rosy, ya hang with me.
Let's go.
[ENGINE TURNS.]
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[AVIS.]
Mayor Feratti's office.

I'm sorry, but he's in a meeting.
Avis, I don't give a shit what he's doing.
Tell Feratti that Judge Scholl is about to burn his fucking life down to the ground if he doesn't speak to me now.
[AVIS.]
Hold, please.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[DOOR HINGES SQUEAK.]
- [PHONE RINGS.]
- Yeah.
Judge Scholl keeps calling me.
He's paranoid.
Thinks somebody's bugging his office.
Yeah? Saying irrational things, making threats.
Honestly, I think he's having some kinda breakdown.
I'll talk to him.
[BEEP.]

No, not with Mickey.
You were right about Dad.
So I'm gonna be doin' my own thing.
But I-I just wanted to hear your voice.
Daryll, what's goin' on? Ma, nothing! [LAUGHS.]
Look, sweetheart, if you're in trouble, if you need somethin' there's nothin' you could do, there's nothin' you could say that could ever make me stop loving you, Daryll.
Hey, Ma, actually, I gotta go.

[KNOCKS TWICE.]
I've got good news.
Donovan just flipped Judge Scholl.
- Son of a bitch! - If we can draw a straight line from Scholl to Feratti, corruption to murder, we take down the mayor.
They think it's terrorists.
The police.
They're assuming that it has something to do with one of my cases.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Brought in the FBI.
They'll probably turn every fuckin' Muslim I've ever had in my courtroom inside out.
[SCOFFS.]
What was I supposed to say? The fuckin' mayor of New York City had me car bombed? Where the fuck are you taking me? [PHONE RINGS.]
Jesus.
Uh a-a-are you sure you trust this cop? I trust her.
I can't go to prison.
I'm a fucking judge.
They'll kill me.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Who is this? It's Claudette.
I got your number from Mickey.
- What do ya want? - It's Daryll.
I think he's in real trouble.
He called me, and there's just something about his voice.
He just, h It-it-it scared me.
- Where is he? - I don't know where he is.
I've called him three times now.
He's not answerin' his phone.

Oh, a positive attitude is everything, right? Promise me you'll take better care of yourself.
Take your meds.
Go to physical therapy.
Sure, I will.
That didn't sound so convincing.

You know where, uh, Frankie Lee is? [RESPONSE INAUDIBLE.]
[KEYBOARD KEYS CLICKING.]
[MICKEY.]
Afternoon.
I'm looking for a guy named Frankie Lee.
Shut the door.
I'm Frankie Lee.
I understand that, uh, you know how to move private stock.
- Who told you that? - My sister-in-law knows a guy who, you know, knows a guy.
What kinda stocks? Twenty percent of Sullivan Industries.
[KEYS CLICKING.]
Estimated valuation pre-IPO is 2.
4 billion.
Holy shit! That much, huh? - [CHUCKLING.]
- Where's the paper? My, uh, my son has it.
It's in my other son's name.
You always sell things that don't belong to you? Basically, I'm one of the founders of Sullivan Industries, okay? It's my stock.
It's just in my son's name.
Come back when you got the paper.
[KEYS CLICKING.]
Wait, wait help me out here.
Gimme something to convince him.
How much do we lose, uh, convertin' it to cash? Will you take Bitcoin? What the fuck is that? [SMALL LAUGH.]
You want old-fashioned cash and you want to keep this deal quiet, I can get you 65, 75 million.
- Minus my 20 percent.
- Whoa! - That's a big haircut, Frankie.
- You don't like it, put your shit on eBay.
Ooh.
[DEVICE WHIRRING.]
Should be the last one.
Are you sure? [QUIETLY.]
Yeah.
What are you doin'? Calling the mayor.
Who do you think ordered all this? Feratti? He won't come after me.
He's in as deep as I am.
IAB already knows about the prison scam.
They just don't know who the players are.
My guess is Feratti's tryin' to pin it on you.
[UNEASY MUSIC.]
I got a friend inside, a detective.
Trust me, Judge they don't want us, they want the mayor.
What kind of a deal did they offer you? Immunity.
Bullshit.
I cooperate, I walk.
I'm a fuckin' judge, Ray.
They're never gonna let me walk.
You give them Feratti, they'll give you anything you want.
Call me when you're ready to talk.

They have you, and they have your fucking wire.
You don't get it they were gonna arrest everybody.
So you turn against me and my dad - Not you! - And my whole fucking family? Not you this whole thing was to save you! You did it to save yourself.
They have evidence.
They have proof.
They have fingerprints.
They have blood.

That must have been terrifying.
Were you thinking about that when you cut their heads off? I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Then let me walk you through it.
On the night of November 7th last year, you were being held hostage at a motel in Staten Island.
[AMBIENT BACKGROUND NOISE.]

But my kid brother, he goes to see one-a you.
I mean, he says it works, so maybe I don't know shit about shit.

I see one.
You do? Everybody in my profession has a therapist.
That's why they're in my profession.
Well, it must be fuckin' hard bein' sick and tryin' to help sick people.
Well, actually, it helps me take my mind off myself.

You'd have a full-time job in my family.
Bein' a Donovan family therapist.
You could become fuckin' rich if we had any money.
I'd better get going.
H-hey, hey, listen, if if you want a drink or somethin' you just let me know, a'ight? Bye, Terry.
It was a real pleasure talking with you.

So you fed a little cheese to the cops so what? You were trying to save your wife.
I should kill myself.
People pass judgment on rats.
But few understand what it's like to be under that kinda pressure.
Everyone thinks that they can hold up.
The truth is, everyone's a rat.
At one point or another.
It's human nature.
No, it's not.
Even Ray ratted me out.
Put me in prison.
I ratted other people out in order to survive.
You do what you gotta do.
You'll be all right.
You didn't rat on me, did ya? No.
I didn't say anything about you.
That's that's a good boy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hey hey.
You're aces with me, kiddo, huh? You're aces with me.
Now, why don't you take your old granddad over to the bank? The bank? Why? Well, a dead man can't open a bank account, and I need a place where I can receive wire transfers.
