Original subtitles

Silvermane. In charge of organized crime for 30 years.

Someone burned down his mansion a couple of nights ago.

Addison! You keep following me, it won't end the way you want it to. Does this

guy have superpowers, like you?

Do me a favor, hold off on printing that. I want to warn Donegal before he

gets himself killed.

It's enough of that.

There's gonna be a free-for-all. The people could use a hero. I hope they

find someone.

I can't help but wonder what Ruby would think.

I'm not that guy anymore.

Any chance you know who this is? Oh, that's Cat Hardy. Star attraction over

at the alcove. Is there somewhere we can talk? It's business.

Flint? Despite what I do, they don't enjoy hurting people.

Don't hurt him.

What the hell is this?

Just leave us alone, please.

When someone tells you what they are, you have to listen.

Then what is he?

Retired.

I came here to offer him a job.

My friend you met last night, he's disappeared.

You were saying Flint's your bodyguard.

Yes. He protects me, and he's loyal.

Hard to find these days.

No kidding.

I didn't marry my husband for his looks.

What else can you tell us? Does he have family, friends?

I don't know anything about his personal life.

I know his address.

Are we gonna talk about the fact that he turned into some kind of sand monster?

What I know, she knows.

It started about six months ago.

Slow at first, but...

It's been getting worse.

And he never remembers when it happens?

Oh, he always remembers.

Unless he gets clubbed in the head with an iron girder.

That's it.

He turned into sand. It was sand, right?

It just seems kind of like a big deal. So do you have any clues as to what's

causing this to happen? You haven't given us much to go on. Isn't that what

the money's for?

You're an investigator.

Investigate.

You know, an artist doesn't just paint with air. He needs a canvas, brushes.

Paint. Do you think I'm withholding from you, Mr. Riley?

What if I said I did? I'd ask why you thought that. I'd say a lifetime of

experience. With clients?

With women.

As fun as this little game is, I'm afraid I have other business to attend

to.

Get to painting, Mr. Riley.

What do you think?

I think you might need a cold shower.

I think I might need one.

But you're right.

She is hiding something.

All the fun ones do.

I'm going to check out Flint's apartment.

Why don't you go down to the... Bureau of Criminal Records?

Yeah. Been a while since we've had a real case, but it ain't been that long.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Gonna meet a new supplier at the docks tomorrow.

Canadian.

You didn't tell me that.

I'm telling you now.

It's not smart for you to go out in public till we know who tried to take

you out.

I'll go where I want.

With all due respect, you don't pay me what you pay me for my charm or

disposition. You pay me to keep you alive, and I'm telling you it's a bad

idea. If you dying benefited me, I would have done it myself ten years ago.

But I know what I'm good at. I know what I'm not.

And I need you to stay alive and in power.

So pretty please, with cherries on top, let me go down to the docks of Hetty,

and once I make sure everything's kosher, you can waltz on in and show

everyone the brightness of your feathers.

You finished?

The problem is not that the guy is out there. The problem is that they thought

they could take me out at all.

Ever since the spider disappeared, things have been comfortable.

Maybe someone's thinking that I got complacent or soft.

Maybe you're one of them.

Thinking you could take me out?

If you could set yourself on fire like Addison, then you might have a shot.

Imagine controlling that kind of power.

Now Flint goes missing.

Right after.

He's been acting strange lately.

Now if those two things are related, go look for Flint.

And when the boys find our P.I., Riley, bring him straight to me.

The color's fading from the photograph I could tell the story But still you

wouldn't know the hell

This love was brought to life from shards of glass.

When you kiss me, there's a shifting in the sepia tone.

Can't escape the madness, baby.

Magnetism. Run away, but something pulls me back into it.

Lately, I've been sharing that a broken mirror.

Needing someone to come.

my savings

Hi, this is Robbie Robertson calling. Mr.

Robertson, how many times do I have to tell you you're never getting your old

job back?

Listen, I don't know if Walters has seen my article in the Gazette, but I just...

Mr. Robertson, there's no point in this conversation. What I'm saying is I just

need to sit with him, that's all. Mr. Robertson, please.

Mr. Robertson, I'm going to hang up now.

I'm on to something truly sensational.

It's the biggest story of years. There hasn't been anything this big since the

spider.

I promise.

It'll be worth his while.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What, Marco?

Got a delivery.

Anybody home?

Clint, it's Winston.

Silvermane wants to talk to you.

Check the bedroom.

Nice place.

Yeah, a bit fancy for my taste.

And I got a pretty good idea why.

Why?

Let's go.

You think he got a new lady?

Is that why he ain't coming to poker lately?

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go where fashion

sits?

Janet,

long time.

I thought you might have wised up and quit the biz. Oh, no, not me, Hank. Said

to report, I'm dumb as ever.

I'm just sitting outside.

I don't know if I belong to anyone.

No, my wife made me quit eating these. Okay, well in that case... Last I

checked, you ain't my wife.

Name? Flint Marco.

All right.

Be right back. Oh, you did touch that bag.

It ain't a bribe if I don't get to eat it.

Janet, good to see you. Oh, hey Charlie, how you been?

Quite the record, our Mr.

Marco.

Grew up in Brooklyn, working class, came back with no prospects.

Small crimes, then bigger ones.

Arrest, arrest, arrest.

Now, an enforcer for... Silverman.

That Winston guy showed up while I was at Flint's.

You hid in the closet? I hid in the closet.

Most are gone.

Didn't you fight there, too?

Yeah, it was one of the biggest battles of the war, where a million of us are.

Hold on.

Is that... Addison.

Looks like they were in the war together.

Is that what Kat is hiding from you?

I bet she knew that Flynn had a friend with superpowers.

Oh, I know. What I don't know is why she didn't tell me. Probably thought you

wouldn't have taken the case.

She would have been right.

I don't think I've ever heard that one.

I wouldn't think so.

It's an original.

Visited Flint's apartment today.

This mean anything to you?

I knew he was in the war.

Hard to believe he was ever so young.

What about this guy?

You see him? This little guy right over here?

He ever come around the alcove, visit Marco?

Can't say I've ever seen him.

His name's... Addison.

He's the guy that burned down Silvermane's mansion.

He's dead now.

So is the PI that shot him.

What can I say?

The world's a dangerous place.

You're pretty cool under pressure.

I wasn't aware I was under any. Why don't you tell me Flint worked for

Silvermane? Would you have taken the case if I had? I don't like surprises.

I'll remember that when your birthday rolls around.

The deed is under my name, but it's no secret Silvermane owns this place.

And Flint's a good way to protect his investment.

And you.

And me.

You see, this club lives and dies on people walking through that door because

they want what I give them.

You trying to get me, Mr. O'Reilly?

Get you?

Understand me.

Seems you got my number.

I've learned a lot of them over the years.

Oh, one for every Tom, Dick, and Harry?

Hmm.

You're interesting.

Oh, yeah?

How's that?

Oh, the other night when we met, you called yourself a coward.

But I think you're braver than you let on.

Oh, you're good.

In an obvious sort of way.

I'm as subtle as the situation requires.

You see, I have business with Silvermane, and I have business with

you, Mr. Riley.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Now, have I said enough for you to keep the money you came here to return?

Or have I misjudged you?

No, I'll keep working the case.

Not because I'm brave.

Why, then?

A singer's got to know all the numbers.

Maybe a detective just got to know all the answers.

Tai Chi.

Yeah, that's right. It's Tai Chi.

It's good.

It's good for breathing and relaxation.

I recommend it.

I don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.

We don't care either.

Toaster. Really? Gosh, I shouldn't have thrown it so hard.

Let's go for a ride.

You mind telling me why I'm here?

Silverman wants to see you. I figured that. I'm asking you why.

We're not really the why guys.

Maybe you wouldn't be here if you didn't try ripping the boss off.

Ah, Donegal.

I didn't have anything to do with this little scheme. I actually tried to talk

him out of it.

Like I said, the boss just wants to talk. I've got no idea who hired Addison

to burn down your boss's house.

You don't know nothing, huh? Double negative, but we'll set that aside for

now. My point is I'm not much of a detective.

Yeah, then you got nothing to worry about. Just like Donegal, right?

Yeah, just like Donegal. By the way, I am sorry about the nose.

Me?

That was him.

The boss ain't gonna like this. Yeah, he wanted us to bring him in.

Get out!

Get out of my house!

Times are tough all over.

But the true measure of a city is in how it responds to the hard times.

And this isn't Topeka or Kalamazoo.

This is New York.

We're going to link arms and stand strong against the rising tide.

What's the headline here?

Desperate Morris delivers Doug.

I'd go with quadruple M. Mayor's missive misses Mark.

Man, I wouldn't trust Hudson to do my laundry.

That man's going to beat Morris by ten points.

Sometimes you just want a different brand of snake oil.

So, uh, you going to explain your face?

Let's just say you should lay off the Addison reporting.

Silvermane? He's on a warpath about Addison.

He wants to know who's coming after him. So tread lightly.

I'm not the one with the face that looks like hamburger meat.

I've tangled with his guys before.

As the man with the mask and the goggles. New York's beloved hero of the

hour. Not as Ben Reilly.

You know what? Give me that.

I'm making a declaration right now.

That's right.

If I'm re-elected, you can say goodbye to prohibition.

The man knows his audience.

As God is my witness, you'll never go thirsty again.

Look, all I'm saying is, you're in it with Silvermane now.

The choice is to suit up or die.

It might be time to tango again. Maybe you'd be doing the city a favor in the

process. Oh, come on, Robbie. Enough of that.

You know what I'm doing after this? What?

Being beautiful and working the Addison story.

I don't publish, I don't eat, my friend.

I've been thinking about the Canadians.

You gonna let me handle it?

No, I'll do it.

Plan stands, but go ahead of me.

Scout it out.

Huh.

Well, I think it's stylish.

What do you think, Winston?

I'm not one for fashion, but the whole thing is a little tired.

Now, Winston, have you got a gripe with her?

No, I just think there's a better thing to spend time on than dressing up dolls.

Well,

there's fashion and there's taste.

Box it up.

You like it too, right?

Honestly, I think it's... Yeah, yeah, it's perfect.

Excuse me, ma'am. I'm looking for the Addison's.

This is Addison.

Hey, brother.

Don't hey, brother me.

I asked you a question.

You sure did.

And seeing as you are a very large and angry man, I'm going to answer.

Looking for Vera Addison?

Know where she is?

Why do you want to know?

Well, I am a reporter working a story on James Addison's death.

I wanted to talk to his widow.

Jimmy's dead?

Oh, I'm sorry. You guys were friends.

How did he die?

It was an explosion.

Standard Oil Depot.

Why are you writing about him?

Before he died, he burned down the wrong house.

Whose?

Silverman.

I think it's time for me to leave. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hmm.

Addison didn't just take it upon himself to burn down the house of the most

dangerous man in the city.

Someone paid him to do it.

Now, look, he was your friend, so I'm guessing he wasn't a bad guy.

He was sick.

And these days, Comfort Men have used their sicknesses to get by until their

sicknesses eat them alive.

Hang on. What do you mean he was sick? I don't know who hired him.

But, yeah.

His wife, mate.

And do you know where I can find her?

Try the Jeffrey Hotel.

She always went there when they came in some money. And when she came back, the

money was gone.

Go figure.

Oh, thanks.

I'll pay her a visit.

I told you.

He hardly comes to the office anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw him.

Well, maybe this will show your memory.

Please, don't tell me that you're mad at me.

For your sake, I hope so.

We'll be back.

Janet,

did they hurt you?

No, not this time.

But they said they'd be back.

Then they put a gun to my head.

They kept saying that I'd end up like Donegal, that if I didn't tell them

where you were, he and I'd be crossing the river six together.

What does that mean?

It means Donegal's dead.

Silverman killed him.

But I'll take care of it.

Ever since Ruby died, I've been waiting for you to get it back together.

Back to the man I know is buried somewhere inside you.

Five years.

And this is how it ends.

Janet, go home. Get some rest. You'll feel better, and I'll call you when it's

safe.

Yeah, I'm gonna go home.

But I am not coming back.

I care about you, Ben, so deeply.

But not enough to die for you.

Janet.

Janet!

Hiya, I'm Pete with maintenance. Sorry about the leak. It'll be no problem I'll

just the gosh the unit downstairs big mess water water everywhere.

What's going on something about a leak No, I like what you've done with the

place Although if you move the table over by the window, you really get that

sunset glow at dinner.

I told you that I'm sorry Have you been here before I am familiar with the unit.

Yes bathrooms that way

Well, don't just stand there and say something.

Um, sir, what exactly are you fixing?

Uh, yeah, I found the issue. You've got a Boston Jerry Captain.

It's a... It's a live-in from the mission going.

Excuse me, what's happening in there?

Bit of an existential crisis, if I'm honest.

About my toilet?

I don't think that guy was a plumber.

says it to the left thanks for your trouble thanks for the

dollar mrs addison i

didn't order anything my name is robbie robertson i'm a reporter hold on hold

on hold on now i just i just want to talk you have three seconds to get out

of here i'm gonna scream Then I don't think you want a white woman screaming

about a black man trying to force his way into her hotel room.

Actually, I got a hunch that you wouldn't want the city's most ruthless

gangster knowing that the money someone paid your husband to kill him was being

spent on lobster and designer clothes.

So go ahead and scream, honey.

Unless you want me to do it. I got a pretty deep voice.

It really carries.

So that's it?

What do you mean?

No tears?

I just told you your husband died.

People grieve in different ways.

You already knew.

James was a lot of things, but not the type to cut and run.

When he didn't come home that night, I figured he was never coming home.

When did he start setting fires?

Six months ago. Suddenly discovered he had an innate talent for it. Who hired

him for the Silvermane job?

Just because I didn't scream doesn't mean I'm an open book.

As far as I'm concerned, James dug his own grave and now he's lying in it.

This place feels haunted.

That's cause it is.

Speaking of ghosts, Jimmy Addison's dead.

What?

What? A couple days ago, some reporter came around asking about him. Wanted to

know who hired him to kill Silverman.

You didn't know.

If I'd known, I would've stopped him.

Flint, you don't look so good.

It happened again.

Changed completely this time.

Never changed back.

Yeah, not all the way.

It's like the doc said.

Our clocks are ticking.

Faster and faster now.

Everything we went through.

We deserve better, you and I.

Let's get out of here.

You can crash at my place.

Better for us to stick together right now.

Yeah.

You have to check every crate?

Is it because we're Canadians?

Yeah, it's because you're Canadian.

No, boss doesn't trust anyone.

Myself included.

That's why he still runs this town.

Shipment's good, boss.

Ready for you to come.

What is that Hey

go check it out

That way.

Come here.

Thank you.

Don't you have the one I bought?

Guess you do.

Well,

what the hell are you waiting for?

Out of the car!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Not another step!

Say, Tai Chi.

It's been a while.

You've done well with having me around, haven't you?

I didn't know you did hit jobs now.

Do you mind if I ask you who hired you?

Nobody hires me.

I'm here because of Ben Reilly.

Reilly the flatfoot? Yeah, that's right.

I owe him a favor.

Sorry, where are my manners? Do you want a drink?

No. I want you and your gums to lay off Reilly.

He doesn't know who tried to kill you, and roughing up his secretary isn't

going to change that.

So, I leave the gums to you alone.

And that's it?

Because you know, back in the day, you really couldn't leave me alone, could

you? I don't think you're listening to me, Silvermane.

This is your only warning.

If you mess with Riley or any of his people, I will kill you.

Riley. This you?

This you're doing?

What are you talking about?

Did you stalk Silvermane's car?

Oh, you heard about that, huh?

Yeah, well, I got some bad news for you. Cops had an ambush set up for Silvermane

at the docks.

Someone gave them a tip about a booze exchange.

Someone tipped off the cops about a Silvermane booze exchange?

Yeah, they're rounding up about a dozen of his guys right now.

Cops were all set to catch the man himself in the act, but Silvermane never

showed. Do they know why he didn't show?

No.

Shit, gotta go.

Ain't tryna die in no phone booth.

What the hell did I just do?

Now you say you're lonely

Said you cry the whole

night through Well you can cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cause I cried a river over you Now

you say you're sorry

For being so untrue

So what?

Just cry me a river

over you.

You drove me nearly drove me out of my head.

Why you never shed a tear?

Remember?

I remember all you said.

Told me love was too plebeian.

Told me you were through with me And now you say

you love me Well, just who

you do Go on and cry me a river

I'd like to see you cry a river

Cause

I'm tired
