(APPARENTLY,
SOMEONE GOT TO SOMEONEY SIGHS)

In the Suffolk County offices

about a certain birth certificate.

It'll be on the websites tonight.

They know who you are.

The secret is out.

Ma, I'm-I'm still a Hill.

Yeah. Sure.

HENRY: As the most ancient of this clan,

you're welcome here any time,

but we also respect

what distance you may want to keep.

And I say that

with love.

SEAN: Not for nothing,

but it can come in handy
if you're ever in a bind.

You know, you can say,

"Let me run this by my grandfather.

He's the police commissioner."

Which you've done how many times now?

It's really more so just knowing that

you've got the card in your wallet.

- Uh-huh.
- PAULA: I feel like

this is some sort of karma.

Like I just brought this on from

worrying, selfishly worrying.

Hey.

World don't work that way,
if you're asking me.

DANNY: Yeah. You'd be amazed how quick

a story like this'll blow over.

By this time next Sunday,
it'll be a giant nothing burger.

- By Tuesday morning.
- ERIN: Yeah, a few people

will yak about it for a few hours,

and then it'll be done.

Can I make this about me for a minute?

(LAUGHTER)

When I married Jamie, I took the name,

and at the end of the day,

it hasn't helped, hasn't hurt.

Plus, she comes
from a long line of felons.

- (LAUGHTER)
- One felon.

- That we know of.
- (GASPS) You, too?

It was more of a relief, really,
when she took the name.

(LAUGHTER)

- Tough crowd.
- Sure is.

Uh, everyone...

Um...

Thank you.

It's all good.

It really is.

It is what it is, I guess.

It's all good.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

A package just came for you,
and I put it on your table.

- Okay. Thank you, Annie.
- You're welcome.

Ooh.

Christmas present from Nicky?

Not wrapped like that.

Well, hey,

is-is there a name there or a card?

Uh, not that I see. You know,

it probably already went
through X-ray downstairs, but

maybe I should open it, just to be safe.

Yeah.

You never know. Yeah. Yeah.

What the hell?

Is that...?

Dominic Reina.

_

Looks like, uh, ledgers

from his gambling ring,

overseas wire transfer receipts.

What? You don't think they're real?

How long have we been
trying to nail this guy?

Now the whole case just
shows up on our table,

literally gift-wrapped?

Maybe someone's trying
to stage a takeover.

Or eliminate the competition.

Any idea who?

Unfortunately, yes.

Donnie Hassett.

I told you, you so much
as put a toe over the line,

I would throw you back in jail
without a second thought.

I'm clean. Nothing but minding
my own business since I got out.

Yeah? Then why are you
sending us Dominic Reina

on a silver platter?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Come on. The way the
evidence was packaged,

the note...
It's got your stink all over it.

Whatever it is you received,
it clearly came

from a good Samaritan, which ain't me.

This guy's funnier than I remember.

I don't know how you did it, and
I don't know what your play is,

but if you think you're gonna
use us to force Reina out,

you got another think coming.

Detective Reagan?

This young lady says she knows you?

My name is Liz Diaz, and I said
my aunt's friend knows him.

Why don't you people listen?

Have fun.

Who's your aunt's friend?

Molly Chavez.

Yeah, Molly's a friend of mine.
Sit down.

How can I help you?

My grandfather... He was murdered.

He was mugged, thrown down some stairs,
hit his head and died.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Did-did you see it?

Do you want to see it, too?

(SIGHS) My God.

When did this happen?

Five days ago. He was in a coma.

He just passed away yesterday.

Five days ago.

Why didn't you report this then?

I did, but like I said,
you people don't listen.

Okay, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Take it easy.

What do you mean, "you people"?
Who didn't listen to you?

The sergeant
at the precinct I went to said

he probably took the fall on his own.

That's why I went and found the video.

Okay, did this sergeant take a report?

No.

What precinct was it?

And if you can remember,
what was the sergeant's name?

He had the same last name as you.

Reagan.

(SIGHS)

♪

- Hey.
- Hey.

You have a young Latina woman
come in the other night?

A Liz Diaz?

Uh, hard to say. We've
been pretty slammed.

Well, she would've
mentioned her grandfather.

Yeah. She said someone
pushed him down the stairs.

I asked her how she knew
and she said God told her.

She said that? God told her?

Yeah, that was my reaction exactly.

How come you're asking about her?

Well, I'm asking about her
because her grandfather died.

Think someone pushed him?

I know someone pushed him.

She brought in video evidence.

I didn't even take the report.

No, you didn't.

Is there anything else she said
that you'd remember?

No. I turned her away pretty quickly.

- Son of a bitch.
- Don't beat yourself up over it.

Okay? It happens.

I lost us the jump on this one.

The first 48, Danny. It's a homicide.

Yeah, well, going down a rabbit
hole is not gonna help, okay?

We'll find the guy. Promise.

GORMLEY: Recruitment is down 20%,

losses to early retirement
up about the same amount.

Not to mention
enrollment in the academy.

15% lower year to year.

Any good news?

Well, hopefully there's
more Reagans out there

we don't know about.

I'm kidding.

Too soon?

Just the one.

Uh, when were you gonna tell us?

BAKER: He was waiting for Joe

to come forward on his own time.

Wait. You knew about this, too?

FRANK: Oh...

Come on, guys.
She figured it out on her own.

I'll just say, I would maybe have run

the victory lap differently had I known.

Well, you're right. In hindsight,

I should have told you, but
that horse is out of the barn.

How'd he take it?

Uh, he seemed okay.

Hmm.

Truth is, I don't really know
my grandson well enough

to know how he feels.

GORMLEY: Boss, listen,
we call this what it is.

Joe Hill was already a hero cop,

and now he's a Reagan, too.

Sid's right, this will play well.

Among some people.

Don't worry about
the negative spin out there.

That's my job.

I don't mean just out there.

You thinking he's gonna take
crap from within the department?

And you don't?

He's a decorated cop. No way.

Come on. You were Danny's CO.

Okay, he got some tough love
being a Reagan.

Including from me.

It's a lot to put on a young guy
who's already had his world

turned upside down once this year.

You think he's up for it?

For me? That's unknowable.

Reagan, my office.

What is it, boss?

And past boss?

What are you doing here?

Thought I'd drop by,
download Lieutenant Gee

on wrangling Danny Reagan.

So you came by to slander
my name. Nice to see you, too.

You're gonna wish you hadn't, though.

Why is that?
'Cause you're off the Diaz case.

I'm off the Diaz case?

I just started running
with the Diaz case. What...

- You got a conflict of interest.
- Uh, what is that?

Your brother.

My brother's not even working

this thing, I mean, not really.

The Borough Investigation
Unit is looking at him

at the way he handled the complainant.

They're investigating
my brother, the saint?

He reported himself to his CO.

He did what?

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

Pass off whatever you got
to Byrne and Kelly.

Appreciate you showing up, Mr. Reina.

I heard you might
charge me with something.

Call me curious.

ERIN: We have enough to get you on

money laundering and racketeering.

Adds up to more years than you got left.

I'll take the over-under.

You're awfully sure you're gonna walk.

Because my client is innocent.

No. Protected.

What do you think you know?

You're an informant for the FBI.

That's why this office
could never touch you.

You two are smarter than you look, huh?

(LAUGHING)

So what?

So you're old.

Tell us who's next in line
to run the family.

I'm still top dog.

In name only.

You're practically retired.

Tell us who you groomed
to run the family,

or I promise you will never see
the outside of a prison again.

- LAWYER: That's an empty threat.
- ERIN: Is it?

As you said, my client is protected.

We'll still put him away.

Feds or no Feds,
these charges will stick.

♪

Johnny Deangelo.

But I'm only telling you that

because he took the family legit.

Let me guess,
Dominic, importing olive oil?

That's all I'm gonna say.

We're gonna need more than that.

(KNOCK AT DOOR)

Why the hell do you always
have to be such a Boy Scout?

- What are you talking about?
- You reported yourself?

Yeah, I had to,
according to protocol, Danny.

Our job is to solve crimes, not to
tie our own hands behind our backs.

What do you care what I do, anyway?

If I report myself,
it's got nothing to do with you.

Of course it does.

My boss just pulled me off the case

because you reported yourself.

Now it's a conflict of interest, for me.

Who's on it now?

Byrne and Kelly.

They any good?

No, they're average at best.

Fortunately, they owe me a favor, so...

No, I... look, I don't
want any part of this.

- I'll just take my lumps, all right?
- All we got to do

is solve this thing
before Lieutenant Gee

finds out we're still on the case.

(SIGHS) What are you thinking?

Well, Liz said it was God that
let her know about the murder.

- Yeah.
- Well, obviously that's a load of crap,

but something did...
We just got to find out what.

- Or who.
- Exactly.

The thing is, why go to all the trouble

to get the surveillance tape

if you're gonna just protect
the murderer anyway?

Well, that's what we have to figure out.

That is, unless you fire yourself

before we even get to.

This conversation never happened.

You ever think what Gee
will do if he catches us?

If Lieutenant Gee catches
us, I'll take the heat.

This was my idea. What are you gonna do?

Like hell you will. I want to
make this right for Jamie, too.

Well, then we'll both take the heat.

(KNOCKING)

- Mrs. Diaz?
- Yes?

Detective Reagan,
my partner Detective Baez.

We'd like to speak to Liz.

Is she home?

Come on.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Detectives, what are you doing here?

We're just checking in.

ANA: Excuse me.

He okay?

My brother Andy?

He's taking it really hard.

Again, we're sorry for your loss.

Your family religious?

Yeah.

My family, too.

Though, God never really
speaks to us directly.

I'm sorry, I don't follow.

Well, that's what you
told the sergeant, right?

That God spoke to you and told you

that your grandpa was murdered.

Well, God didn't speak to me directly.

I prayed on it
and the thought came to my head.

Oh.

Lucky you. I wish we
could solve crimes that way.

Well, maybe we should hire her.

I'm telling the truth.

No, you're not.
And whoever you're protecting,

you shouldn't be protecting

because they killed your grandfather.

They didn't!

Who's M.G.?

No one.

When I was in high school,

I fell in love with this guy, Theo.

And I would have done
anything to protect him.

Including lie to the cops.

If they didn't have anything
to do with the robbery,

then they wouldn't be in any trouble.

I swear, he didn't hurt anyone.

Then he's got nothing to worry about.

His name's Marcus.

What's the story with Marcus?

He joined up with a gang a while ago.

The Dead Twins.

The night my grandfather was jumped

was their initiation night.

And what was the initiation?

Rob people, collect a few wallets?

The bigger the score,
the bigger the cred.

And...

Grandpa had an old Rolex he always wore.

I figured it wasn't a coincidence.

You're sure Marcus didn't
have anything to do with it?

I know he didn't.

He knew your grandfather
had a nice watch.

Well, yeah...

We're gonna need to speak
to this Marcus.

Please, he's a good guy.
If he's a good guy,

he has nothing to worry about, right?

We're gonna need you to
tell us where we can find him.

Now.

Thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.

What do you want?

I've got more information for you.

Oh, so now he admits
he gave us that box of evidence?

Keep it down, I'm not trying
to paint a target on my back.

Yeah, well, we don't
need any more from you.

I'm trying to help you guys.

We don't need your help.

Really?

Even if it's not about Reina this time?

What are you talking about?

You want to bring down
the whole family, right?

Not just the old man
they put out to pasture?

What do you think you know?

Not what. More like who.

Johnny Deangelo.

The real capo di tutti capi.

Oh, come on, this can't be
a surprise to you guys.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

And I got what I came for.

What just happened?

I think we just gave him Deangelo.

DANNY: How long you been seeing Liz?

- Uh, about a year.
- Mm-hmm. About a year.

She tells me you and her grandpa
were pretty close.

He used to take us to the Mets games.

Mets games, huh? I love the Mets.

Must've been pretty tough for you to see

what happened to him then, huh?

You know, she told me about
the gang initiations,

the robberies.

What, you gonna lock me up?

Not unless you had something
to do with it.

I didn't. I swear.

But somebody in the Dead Twins
did, right?

- Man, I don't know.
- Come on.

I'm trying to help your girlfriend here.

All right? Tell me what
the hell happened that night.

New members went out
to snatch wallets, bikes,

you know, small stuff.

And the vets witnessed them, that's it.

You tell anybody about Mr. Diaz's watch?

- No way.
- Nobody?

No.

You didn't tip anybody off?

Not even by accident?

No. I'd never. He was a G.

I loved him.

(MOUTHING)

We all did.

You said the vets
witnessed what happened.

That include you?

Yeah.

So what did you see?

Specifically.

- Nothing.
- Nothing?

So you're upset

at seeing what happened to him,

but you saw nothing?

So maybe it was you
who did this to Mr. Diaz, huh?

I think I want a lawyer.

Everything okay?

What? Can't I just have
a nice lunch with my daughter?

You can...

right after you tell me
what's bothering you.

As a family trait, we wrestle
our demons in private.

That's the instinct...
Not to be a burden.

I saw you wrestling from the door.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Well, you've known me all your life.

You know my tells and I know yours.

But...

we don't know Joe's.

What are we in danger of here?

I don't know.

And I think that's what
bothers me the most.

Have you talked with him?

Not since dinner.

Well, no news can
sometimes be good news.

Until it's not.

He wanted to keep it secret.

He told you that?

Yes.

You can't always get what
you want, as the song goes.

He liked being a hero.

I thought he got sick of
the spotlight fast.

Uh, that's not exactly right.

He got the jitters that
the spotlight might lead to...

Well, what it did lead to.

Where are you going with this?

He... loved the attention he got,

jumping in front of that van.

The rush. The praise.

Most cops do.

Most cops don't have something to prove

the way he does now.

So, you think what?

That he's gonna go looking for
other chances to be a hero?

That's unknowable.

But I do know it's a dangerous game.

A wise man once said...

Better not be me.

Who said it was you?

A wise man once said...

There is no sense
in rehearsing for tragedy.

Taking your own advice
is highly overrated.

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (SIREN WHOOPS)

(DOG BARKING)

What happened?

Johnny Deangelo was out walking his dog.

Got a bullet to the back of his head.

(DOG WHINING)

Any cameras, any witnesses?

They're still out canvassing;
Doesn't look good.

This is on us, Anthony.

No, this is on Hassett.

No. We confirmed Deangelo to him.

It's the gold standard of ID'ing a guy.

The DA's office says so.

It's a dead mobster.

It's an act of community service

if you look at it right.

So what you want to do?

Our own act of community service.

Hey, Danny.

How you doing, Eddie? Uh...

Am I interrupting?

JANKO: Oh, no, no, no. Come in.

You want some brownies?

No, no. Actually, I just
needed a word with my brother.

JANKO: Oh.

I'll give you guys some privacy.

Thanks.

(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

You, uh, heard anything on your case?

Not yet.

We believe our guy is a member
of a gang called the Dead Twins.

What are you doing?

Updating you on your case.

It's not my case.

Come on, I saw the way your eyes lit up

when I told you how we could work this.

Yeah, well, I don't need your charity,

and we don't work well together anyway.

Well, that I would agree with.

Look, you know I'm under investigation.

I can't be involved, Danny.

And you know that Baez and I

are putting our asses
on the line for you here.

Yeah, well, I didn't ask you to do that.

You know, a thank you would be nice.

Hey. Danny.

Danny.

- What do you got?
- Three kings, ace high.

Come on.

- JAMIE: Yeah...
- All right, all right.

Hurry it up, hurry it up.

The game's over at 10:00, okay?

Some of us actually
have to work in the morning.

Fine by me.

Some of us? What does that mean?

Oh, you didn't hear? The golden boy

got himself another rip.

No shop talk at the card table.

It's like the guy's going for
a new world record or something.

- Truce, all right?
- For tonight.

- (DOOR OPENS)
- JOE: Hey.

- Hey!
- HENRY: In here!

You're late.

Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

HENRY: Wow.

What happened?

It's nothing.

Doesn't look like nothing.
You all right?

Yeah.

Thought about not coming,
but I figured you guys

would find out eventually anyway.

Uh, I got in a fight back at my command.

You get a rip?

They're offering me three days.

HENRY: Mm-hmm.

Reagans are dropping
like flies, aren't we?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

DANNY: So what really happened

to lead to this happening?

Some of the guys were pissed
that I was hiding a connection

to One PP this whole time.

Made it out like I was pulling
a fast one on them.

Then they started going in
on you guys, and...

...I lost it.

Did you win?

- I survived.
- (CHUCKLES)

You don't need to fight our battles,
Joe.

This is my battle.

They made me out to be some
kind of fox in a henhouse.

Well, I'm sorry it happened.

It's not your fault.

You ever had a beef
with these guys prior?

No. And please don't go
looking to ID them, okay?

I won't.

Never crossed my mind.

He won't.

This time.

I might.

What? You fight one of us,
you fight all of us.

He won't.

There's gonna be more crap
to take, but it'll get easier.

DANNY: Yeah.

Eventually.

How did you guys deal with it?

Well, in Jamie's case,
he would just call

his older brother Danny to the rescue.

Yeah, and he'd be 10-63.

Uh-huh.

You do the only thing you can do:

Ignore the BS.

Yeah, I got it when Pop was PC.

We all have.

Your dad.

All of us had to prove

we weren't born
with shields and stripes.

HENRY: Just keep your head down.

Work hard and, uh, that'll shut them up.

I've always kept my head down. Always.

And now it feels like I got eyes on me

from all sides, all the time.

Maybe take up kickboxing?

Yeah, get some pepper spray.

Buy the next round of drinks
once a week.

It's hard enough being a cop
these days as it is.

Being a, like, Kennedy of cops...

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

...doesn't make it any easier.

DANNY: Well,

we can wallow in self-pity,

or we can play.

Full disclosure, I'm barred
from the poker table

at three Atlantic City
casinos for winning so much.

(HENRY LAUGHS)

- DANNY: That's okay.
- Really?

'Cause the name of the game here

is Go Fish.

(LAUGHS)

I'm sure you're aware
that Johnny Deangelo

was murdered yesterday.

Rest his soul.

That's all you got?

It's an occupational hazard, pal.

You know that going in.

You don't worry you could be next?

Could be me, could be
the next guy, yeah, yeah.

Tell me...

...how did Hassett find out
that Deangelo was the new boss?

He tricked you, didn't he?

I think what's important here

is that we get Hassett for murder,

- and you're going to help us.
- Sure thing.

You got your methods, I got my methods.

Don't even start with that
eye for an eye crap, Dominic.

It's just an offer to help you
clean up your own mess.

LAWYER: Uh, Mr. Reina is speaking

figuratively here.

Oh, yeah. Figuratively, of course.

I will literally put you in jail
if you try to take matters

into your own hands.

She's tough.

LAWYER: My client

has been nothing but cooperative so far.

And he will continue to be cooperative

if he knows what's good for him.

Or what?

Or I'll put conspiracy
on top of the other charges.

I'll call my people off.

And?

Check the dumpster

by, uh, Manzarelli's there
on Newman Street, eh?

You'll find what you're looking for.

Forgot to bring that
to you at poker night.

You were on the right track.

Good. But let's talk somewhere else.

Come on.

These high school kids,
they live half their lives

on social media, right?

Yeah, I know, but I checked all

the Dead Twins' social media accounts.

There's nothing there.

Yeah, that's what I thought, too,

until I looked at Marcus's gamertags,

and I found one linked to a
different social media account.

All these Dead Twins,

they've got separate
pages under aliases.

Did you find anything
interesting on them?

I think they just use
these pages to boast

about the crimes they pull.

Okay, well, did one of them brag about

robbing an old man for his Rolex?

No. But one of the newer guys

has the same last name as the vic.

Diaz?

Not Andy Diaz, Liz's brother?

I think maybe Liz's boyfriend
pulled him in?

I don't know.

Son of a bitch.

That would explain
why he was so distraught

when I went to her place.

You don't think he's just in mourning?

Well, he might have been
in mourning, but he might

have been feeling guilty
for setting the old man up.

Either way we got to find out.

Boss. Uh...

- you, uh, remember my brother Jamie.
- Lieutenant.

You do know I wasn't born
yesterday, right?

What do you mean?

I know you're still working
the Diaz case.

I'll give you 24 hours.

Well, you heard him.

I got 24 hours, my partner's in court.

You want to tag along?

(SIGHS)

Come on, you can make right on this.

Come on, just tell us where he is.

I don't know. I haven't
seen him since this morning.

You have no idea where he is?

No. What's he doing here?

I'm sorry I didn't
listen to you before, Liz,

but we need to find your brother.

What do you want with him anyway?

We just want to talk to him,
okay? That's all.

You think he's involved
with my grandpa's murder?

- No.
- Are you crazy?

DANNY: We're not saying

he's involved in anything,

we just need to talk to him.

Then what are you saying?

JAMIE: We just need to make sure

he's safe, Liz. That's it.

Please.

My mom makes us share our location.

What is it?

That's weird.

What's weird?

It says he's here.

He's here in the apartment?

- No.
- You check the rooms?

Whole house.

What about the roof?

You check the roof,
I'll check downstairs.

You sit right there.

Andy!

Andy.

You the cops?

Yeah.

It was an accident.

I believe you.

I didn't even want to join up.

(SNIFFLES) I really didn't.

I believe that, too.

Stop! S-Stop!

- Stop!
- Hey.

Hey, hey. Hey, hey.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Andy, wait.

I thought it'd be easier

to just grab Grandpa's watch

than mugging a stranger, I didn't...

I didn't think he would fight back.

Why don't you just come
down off the ledge

so we can talk about it.

But I killed him. I killed him.

Don't you get it? I killed him!

It was an accident.

You said so yourself.

I can't live with that.

Andy.

Andy, your family loves you.

Your grandfather loved you.

This is the last thing
that he would've wanted.

You can still live a life
that he would be proud of.

Just give me your hand.

Please.

It's okay. It's okay.

(DOOR CLOSES)

- It's okay.
- (ANDY SOBBING)

(SOBS, SNIFFLES)

(SIGHS)

You did the right thing.

Well, I gotta tell you,
the old man came through.

Give me some good news.

There was a gun in that dumpster.

They got Hassett's prints off it

and the ballistics match
the bullet in DeAngelo's head.

- How did Reina know?
- My guess is

he's been running a tail on Hassett

since he first moved against him.

And Hassett was still able
to get to their boss?

Hey.

He's good at what he does.

Well, so are we.

So what's the play?

What's the main focus that
Hassett has had from the beginning?

Eliminate competition.

That's right. And there's one left.

And Reina's on his way up.

So you're gonna put him
under protection.

But not the way you think.

(DOOR CHIMING)

Hey, boss.

You want me to wait?

Nah, I'm gonna call it a night, kid.

See ya tomorrow.

(SIGHS)

(LAMP CREAKING IN WIND)

HASSETT: Know what I hate?

Whacking a guy back of the head.

He don't know who hit him.

Not satisfying.

(WIND WHISTLING)

Screw you.

Say my name.

Donnie.

Donnie what?

Donnie, uh...

Douchebag.

(CHUCKLES)

ABETEMARCO:
Don't move! Drop your weapon!

Drop your weapon!

OFFICER: Move, move, move!

Drop it now!

Put your hands behind your head!

(SIREN STOPS)

You took your time.

Donnie Douchebag.

I like that.

I was just gonna scare him
a little, that's all.

You can't get me
for more than intimidation.

We're not the least bit
intimidated by you.

And we're charging you with murder one.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Friend or foe?

Grandson.

Come on.

Hope my security detail
didn't hassle you.

I told 'em you were coming.

Uh, I never even saw them.

You're not supposed to.

(CHUCKLES)

Hope you got room in the fridge.

What do you got?

Well, I didn't want to be

the only person in Reagan history

who didn't contribute to family dinner.

So I made a trip out
to Razzano's in Glen Cove.

Sweet sopressata,

hot sopressata,

- (CHUCKLES)
- ...prosciutto di Parma...

eggplant rollatini...

Real mortadella.

Wow.

Look at this.

Fresh mozzarella.

It's still warm.

(SIGHS)

It's Saturday.

Dinner's on Sunday.

Yeah. I know.

Why the extra trip?

Thing is, um...

I'm not sure that
I'm gonna make it tomorrow.

Ah.

What about work on Monday?

Doesn't look good.

I just need some time.

I just need to think
these things through.

I mean,

shopping for this food was
the first time in weeks

that I've been able
to just make a choice

without it feeling impossible. (LAUGHS)

You file for a leave?

Late yesterday, yeah.

I was really looking forward
to meeting Nicky and Jack.

They around?

They don't get in till tomorrow.

Damn.

See, they were coming straight here

from the airport for dinner, if you...

I'll try, yeah.

Only if it works.

I'd have to move some things around.

Hmm.

I really wouldn't want to miss them.

I'll-I'll try to make it work.

They'd love that.

Um...

Okay.

Thanks for the grub.

My pleasure.

(SIGHS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Pop, did you make all this?

No, Joe brought it.

It comes from a place called
Razzano's, out on Long Island.

Looks so good
I don't know where to start.

- HENRY: Yeah.
- SEAN: I know.

I call dibs on the meatballs.

I love coming home for Christmas.

Feels like being a kid again.

Not to mention we have
a new cousin this year.

I can't wait to meet him.

SEAN: You guys are gonna love him.

He's the best.

HENRY: One down, one to go.

So?

Where's Joe?

(SIGHS)

I'm not sure he's gonna make it.

Wait, he's not coming?

He had to go out of town.

He had to go out of town, where?

I'm not sure he said.

He called you just now, Dad?

No, he gave me a heads-up

when he brought the food
yesterday that...

he might have a conflict.

And did he say how long
this conflict may last?

Okay.

Well... (SIGHS)

...he filed for a leave.

So I guess we screwed up
giving him the pep talk.

Do you think he's gonna come back?

I don't know.

I do know he's got
a lot of thinking to do.

Why didn't he at least
stay around for dinner?

I know a part of him wanted to.

He probably had enough
attention this week already.

I was just really
looking forward to meeting him.

Me, too.

I know.

SEAN: You guys don't think that he's,
uh,

trying to run away from us, do you?

No, of course not.

It's not like
he's gone for good, either.

Maybe he just needed
to get away, you know?

Yeah, name one person that
didn't need some space

from their family at some point.

Hmm.

- Ring a bell?
- What?

Ooh, there's a lot of distance

between here and San Francisco.

Your Uncle Danny went
all the way to Fallujah.

Yeah, that was a little
different than this, but...

point taken.

Look, if that's what he needs,

so be it.

Maybe you and Jack,
while you're in town,

can get in the car

or hop a train and go say hey.

Do you know where he is?

I do not.

But I have a sense that

he will be in touch.

It's almost Christmas,

and we are family.
