Fuck you.

You can have it.

[Jackie]
You have to remember,

Boston is a mistake.

The Mayflower was never
supposed to land

They were heading to Virginia

Oh, my, how far

Nah.

All right, cover, cover.

-We got one occupant, female.
-What the fuck is going on?

-Show me your hands now.
-Do you know what time it is?

I’m Karen Shimizu,

-Step outside, ma’am.

We’re responding to a call about

-[Karen] What? Gunshots?

-[Guilfoyle] Yes, ma’am.

-[Karen] Who called?
-[Guilfoyle] A neighbor.

[Karen]
Well, that’s bullshit.

I’ve been home alone

He stood his fucking ground

You didn’t victoriously march

No. No, no, no. I quit.

-Oh.

Why you got to bring

The day that we got married,
you promised

that you would always

Now, why’d you really

Ah. Have a seat.

I’m running for attorney general

of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.

God, saying the whole thing
sounds so good.

And why do I care?

I know you’ll miss me,
but if I win,

I will leave this office with
eight months left in my term.

And the governor says
I can appoint my successor.

Which means,

if I chose you and you kick ass,

you could position yourself
to run for a full term in ’94.

What’s the catch?

You’re not
my only potential choice.

[scoffs]
Of course not.

You expect me to kiss your ass

and be you errand boy

You, sir, are

But I’m still your fucking boss,

The other guy is a woman.

And she’s on her way here now.

Mr. Ward, Blair Chavez.

Meeting you is an honor,

and working with you will be
a privilege.

It’s nice to meet you, as well.

Given the circumstances.

[Blair]
Yes, the circumstances are

-a little off-putting.
-[Decourcy] Mm.

I don’t even know why I’m under
consideration for your job.

You made headlines in Chicago,

putting that state senator away
for misuse of campaign funds.

You built a big, splashy,
successful case,

and that is what I expect
from the two of you.

Aw, that’s nice.

Yeah, my dad used to take me
here, too, when I was little.

[Karen] Mr. Suferin,
your former partner,

Officer Wallace,
will testify that you disobeyed

Sergeant Caysen’s orders
by going into the house

where Anton Campbell
was cornered.

Wallace was right behind me

-when I--
-I’m not finished.

He will also testify
that Campbell

was not turning around.

Instead, you executed him

while others
were negotiating with him.

That Black bastard was firing.

-Every cop out front--
-Forensics do not lie.

He was shot
in the side of the head.

He wasn’t facing you.

And that’s why
you’re being charged

under Title 18
U.S.C. Section 242

of the Federal Criminal Code.

A possible life sentence.

[Devlin] Miss Shimizu,
I assume you’re here to save

the government time and money.

What’s your offer?

PTC, and we recommend 15 years,
not life.

-Fuck that!
-He was performing his duty.

His actions were justified.

No jury would ever convict
a cop of that.

His own partner

called Mr. Campbell’s death
an assassination.

Officer Suferin’s jacket has
over a dozen complaints

of racial animus
for which he was disciplined.

[smacks table]

-I’m not a racist.
-Life or 15, Mr. Suferin.

Take the offer.

[Russ]
If it’s a boy,

I’m thinking Russ Wallace Jr.
But is that okay?

-I mean, I don’t know.
-Russ, the baby’s not here yet.

You’re getting all tangled up
for no reason.

We’re a couple weeks away.

I’m just not sure
that I’m ready.

I mean...

Every dad-to-be feels the same.

Then the day comes, you’re

Oh, boy.

Oh. Bad back, huh?

Yeah, playing football

Ever since, any change of

Well, it wasn’t aching--
what was it, five years ago?--

He deserved more of a beating.

You were the best SAC

It’s a shame that that pansy’s

-You landed on your feet.
-Well, like I said

You still can.

Tires slashed,
my wife gets harassed.

A couple of nights ago, a car
follows my daughter Victoria

onto our driveway,
parks right behind her

and stays there a while.

Scared her to death.

-You have surveillance cameras?
-Yes, but there’s

a gap in the tape
at the time of the incident.

Look, Jackie, I know
you’ve been slinging hooch

at the 21st Amendment.

But that’s a waste
of Jackie Rohr.

You need a job, and I need
somebody who knows his shit.

As your head of security?

Oh, I’m not worried
about myself.

But I am afraid for Letitia and
my daughter when I’m not around.

2,000 bucks a week, cash.

That’s almost $50,000 dollars

Yeah, right.

Hey, hey, that’s mine.

What?

That’s my stapler.

Wallace needed
to staple something

the other day,
so he borrowed mine.

-[snapping fingers]
-Give it here.

Odd, you’re more concerned
about a stapler than Wallace.

Nah. God rest him.

You see the ballistics report
on the round that killed him?

Not yet.

Bullet came from your gun.

The fuck you saying, Caysen?

I’m saying you blew
Wallace’s head off.

That’s why you’re on a desk for
the foreseeable fucking future.

This is bullshit.
Round probably ricocheted

off one of them rusted anchors.

There was nothing
between you and Wallace.

I walked the scene
with Internal Affairs.

-You that bad a fucking shot?
-Oh, fuck you, Chris.

No, fuck you, Rick!

Fuck you!

Here, take your fucking stapler.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

[Jackie]
Who’s this handsome guy?

Moustafa Mody. Pleasure.

-Victoria, good time?
-[Victoria] Nope.

Uh, look, your father is paying
me to keep you all safe, so...

Rah, rah.
Believe this: I’m safe.

My dad is the one
who needs help.

I just want to ask you about
the night you were followed.

It’ll only take a minute.

-What happened, Vick?
-Nothing.

Moustafa, could you wait
in the other room?

No fucking way.

Okay, suit yourself.

So, Thursday night,
you’re driving home.

Were you aware that
you were being followed?

-No.
-What time did you pull

-into the driveway, roughly?
-10:30.

Uh-huh. Well, did you get
a good look at the car?

Can you tell me the make?

The car was a car.

Could you see inside?
Like, who was in there, or...?

It was dark, Einstein.

Ah.

So, the car pulls in behind you

in the driveway
and it just sits there.

I-I don’t know. It was dark and
I was fucking scared, all right?

Yeah, well,
that-that sounds scary.

It’s-it’s interesting that,

the exact time
you were being followed,

the security cameras conked out.

I don’t know anything
about security cameras.

And what time did you pull
into the driveway?

10:30, and nice try.
My dad uses that trick.

-What trick?
-Asking me the same question

twice to see if the answer
changes to prove I’m lying.

Were you at a bar
or a restaurant that night?

Seriously?

[newscaster] ...buried alive
in an underground bunker

near the Hudson River
by NYPD detectives.

A longtime employee
of the formal-wear manufacturer

has been arrested
in connection to the kidnapping.

Upon being found,
the 68-year-old millionaire..

...increasingly likely to pas

with vehement support
from borough residents

who feel neglected
by city government.

It’s right here, on the right.

Thank you.

Hey, Pop.

Hey, son.

-Hey.
-What are you doing here?

-What’s with the boxes?
-[sighs] Just...

-removing some clutter.
-Yeah?

You know Louie called me, right?

Said you dropped out front
like Sonny Liston back in ’65.

-I was at that fight.
-Oh, I know.

I remember Moms was upset
’cause you spent the milk money

-on a train ticket to Maine.
-She was right.

Wasted a lot of hard-earned cash
going to see a fixed fight.

Ali hit him with a right
in the first round.

Fight as fixed
as the Last Supper.

What you mean?

Judas never had a chance.

[laughs softly]

Why’d you collapse?

Oh...
[exhales]

-No big deal.
-Mm.

Got light-headed, you know?

Thank God the ground
broke my fall.

-Oh, the ground, right? Ah.
-[laughs]

Pop, I know you.

Come on, man.

There’s more going on here
than a little light-headedness.

I suss out the truth
for a living.

This, this here,
it’s not gonna float.

I have cancer. Uh...

The pancreas.

But I’m A-okay.

What? You...

But th... pancreatic cancer

is, like, the most aggressive
cancer there is.

[stammers]
How-how long have you known?

A couple of months.

Pop, two months with pancreatic
cancer is like an eternity.

What-what, what do
they got you on?

Is it chemo, radiation?
What are we doing--

Nothing.
I didn’t want any of that.

-I don’t understand.
-It’s simple. [stammers]

I’m not doing therapies.

What... So, if-if you hadn’t
fallen the other day,

-then what--
-I didn’t ask you to come.

-[door opens]
-[Louie] Pop, I’m back.

[door closes]

Oh, shit, man,
I thought I’d beat you home.

-Come here.
-What’s up, man?

I got us lunch.

Did I invite you boys
to stay for lunch?

Did you know about Pop’s cancer?

He told me this morning.

[Franklin] Enough of this
self-righteous indignation.

I’m gonna dance.

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

[Siobhan]
Excuse me.

My name is Siobhan Quays,
from the ACLU.

I-I’m Lourdes Mendoza,
Hernando’s sister.

This is Pepe, his son.

Nice to meet you, Pepe.

Have you spoken
to the doctors today?

[Lourdes] They say, uh,
he-he might not walk again.

He could lose his eyesight.

He will probably have to
live out his life in a home.

[Siobhan] Has anyone
from the construction company

or the city
come to speak with you

about insurance
or covering medical costs?

The first night in the ER, yes.

They explained that he gets
workers’ compensation.

How is that enough?

I can’t support Pepe

on a paycheck
that barely supports me.

I don’t want you to worry.

I’m going to fight
for your family.

What are we gonna do about Pop?

[Louie]
We’re gonna respect his wishes.

Make him comfortable.

And let him die
on his own terms.

-I disagree.
-It doesn’t matter.

The decision is not up to you.

You know, when Mom
was diagnosed with cancer,

he was relentless,
fighting to keep her alive.

We... I say we get him a doctor.

I have been on point taking care
of him all this time.

Where have you been?

-That’s not fair, Louie.
-Yeah, no shit.

You can’t just drop in
and take charge.

He is who he is.

You know that.
Why are you forcing this?

’Cause I don’t believe he’s got
no more fight left in him.

And I’d miss him.

Nice shot.

Hey. You want a drink?

It’s got to be five o’clock
somewhere.

So, I went through the files
of the six guys that might

-have a vendetta against you.
-Yeah?

Two are dead, two are in prison,

one is born-again
and living in Venezuela.

And number six?

Well, him I took an interest in.

Lyle Pike. I-I couldn’t find
him, so I did some digging,

and it turns out
that he changed his identity.

His name, his date of birth,
his social,

the whole fucking nine--
even dyed his hair.

He’s living in Worcester
hiding out

from some loan sharks
who want him dead.

So I knocked on his door
and I told him that...

if he ever came within a mile
of this zip code,

I would put his new name
and address

on the front page of The Globe

Lyle Pike was always
a chickenshit.

I also spoke to Victoria about
the night that she was followed.

Yeah, she told me.
She wasn’t happy.

Yeah, Sinclair,
I hate to tell you this,

but your daughter is lying.

The mystery car,
it never existed.

Are you certain of that?

Dead.
She made the whole thing up.

[exhales]
Shit.

[tongue clicks]

Look, I thought
I was past all this.

Victoria’s been difficult
ever since she was a child.

Uh, mood swings, anger, anxiety.

We had her seen by the best.

One doctor thought, well,
maybe she’s bipolar

or slightly autistic
or something, I don’t know.

She’s been on meds.

Ritalin, clozapine.

It all seemed
to work for a while

while she was growing up,
but lately, her behavior

is just-just... it’s worse.

Uh, yeah, I keep thinking,
maybe...

maybe-maybe I had
a hand in all this, huh?

You know, too much nose
to the grindstone.

You know what I mean.

Living next door to me
when I was six or so

was a kid named Dick Hoare.

[laughs]

I swear to God. Hoare.

Hoare. H-O-A-R-E.

Why his parents
would name him Dick,

yeah, I’ll never understand.

But he was a good guy,
despite being latch-key.

I mean, he was without any kind
of parental supervision.

Totally on his own.

Yeah, and he turned out okay,
right?

No, actually, he fell out
of a window drunk.

Your point is?

You can tough-love a kid
and you can no-love a kid.

It doesn’t matter.

They’re gonna be
who they’re gonna be.

I’ll keep an eye on Victoria.

I will catch her if she falls.

Thank you.

Jenny, I’m so glad you’re here.

Oh, I love this place.

In every corner,
another adventure.

-Hey, is that Father Doyle?
-Yeah.

He volunteers here.

I was thinking maybe
you could start

by helping me organize
today’s lunch delivery.

We send meals to an AIDS hospice
over on Fremont Street.

Well, I’m ready
to roll up my sleeves.

Good. Follow me.

Hey, Sue, could you just,
could you give me a sec?

Yeah, meet me
over by the pantry.

Okay.

Mrs. Rohr.

Yeah, get formal on me,
I’ll belt you.

[laughs]

How are you, Jenny?

-I’m good. Yeah.
-Yeah?

Also, uh, you know,
a little surprised.

I thought the Catholic Church
was kind of anti-homosexual,

let alone women’s
reproductive rights.

Well, that’s the Church.
That’s not me.

I see you’re out of uniform.

Uh, I’m on sabbatical.

Oh.

Time to take a hard look
in the mirror and just

sort out what I’m doing
with my life.

Well, facing yourself,
that takes a lot of courage.

Something wrong, Jenny?
Something on your mind?

Nah, I’m just, I’m making
lunches for the hospice.

[indistinct chatter]

Excuse me.

I’m looking for a Juan Correa,
the site foreman.

-He has the day off.
-Well, he was here

the day Hernando Mendoza
was injured, correct?

I don’t know.
That was my day off.

[high-pitched ringing]

[panting]

-[jackhammering]
-[hammer pounding]

Hey.

What the Sam Hill kind
of poison you giving me?

It’s green tea, Pop.
A healthy change.

No wonder all those boys up in
Boston tossed the tea overboard.

I checked in with Siobhan.

She sends her love.

Decourcy,

for a big-time D.A.,
you don’t lie very well.

Hey, don’t start.
I ain’t trying to fight.

Who’s fighting?

I didn’t bring the girl up.
You did.

[knocking on door]

-Decourcy.
-Yeah, thanks for coming.

-And who might you be?
-[Decourcy] This is Dr. Baez.

Uh, Siobhan’s friend Dr. Mack
recommended him. He’s, uh--

[Franklin]
What’s he want?

Hello, Mr. Ward.
I’m a surgical oncologist.

Um, your son asked me to come by
for a consultation.

I’m sorry my son dragged you
here, Dr. Baez, for no reason.

Mr. Ward, maybe if I could just
take a look at you,

I might be able to suggest
alternative treatments?

God is the only medicine I need.

Now get out!

Both of you.

[door opens, closes]

See you, Father.

Please, call me Diarmuid.

Or Dermo.

-Dermo?
-[laughs] Yeah.

Jenny, uh, feel free to tell me
to mind my own business here,

but you really do seem
under a cloud.

Oh, well, maybe I am.
Who knows, you know?

I’m still a good listener,
even without the collar.

And you know I’m on your side.

Not always.

Yeah, true.

The hurt that I caused you

is all part of this reckoning
that I’ve endured.

A reckoning which may
cause me to leave

the priesthood permanently.

Sorry, here I am,
blithering on about myself

and you’re the one
that’s suffering.

Uh, talk to me.

Yeah, uh...

I don’t know what’s wrong.

I think I just got something
in my blind spot.

Is this about your father?

Your-your Aunt Lena
is a parishioner

and she likes to gossip.

Yeah, well, this might,
this might be about him.

Uh, maybe a bit more.
I don’t know.

You know, I’m...
[laughs]

I don’t know what the fuck
I’m talking about.

-Sorry.
-[chuckles]

Well, Jenny, I hope you
do make peace with your da.

You can’t converse with a ghost.

Unless you’re Demi Moore.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[knocks]

-Mr. Dryden, hi.
-Hi.

-May I come in?
-Uh, of course. Please.

Great.

Uh, Letitia said
you came by the house

and you were upset
about something?

Oh, uh, n-no, I mean...

I wasn’t sure
what happened after dinner.

-I kind of blacked out.
-I’d be happy to explain.

But why don’t you let me
pour some wine first, huh?

Lafite Rothschild 1963.

Robert Parker rated it 100.

Thank you.

Yes, so...

-that night--
-Did we sleep together?

Jesus, no.

I’m sorry. I’ve been, um...

I woke up the next morning
feeling as if,

you know, I had, uh...

like I’d been with someone.

A dream, perhaps?

I know the feeling.

When I first met Letitia,
I dreamed

about being in bed with her
long before we ever were.

The mind is a marvelous,

if somewhat confused
piece of machinery,

and fantasy is
an aphrodisiac, huh?

The truth is,

you have been attracted to me
since the day we met.

My wife noticed first.

You’re probably right.
I’m sorry.

-No need to apologize. Hmm?
-[laughs softly]

Nothing happened.

I’m a happily married man.

[chuckles]

[phone ringing]

Oh, Jesus.
[sighs]

Hello?

[Dominique crying]
I’m sorry, Victoria.

Sorry for what?

[crying]

I know what happened...

...at your house.

D-Dominique.

[sniffles]

Something I couldn’t stop.

Dominique,
you’re not making sense.

Tell me what happened, slowly.

-I’m sorry.
-Dominique?

I’m so sorry.

Dominique, talk to me.

He was here.

Well, this beats the fuck
out of pissing in a coffee cup

on a cold winter stakeout
in the North End.

[Sinclair]
You fit in well here, Jackie.

Who needs a full pension
with perks like these, right?

Yeah, amen.

Well, Letitia,
she raves about you.

-Nice lady.
-Yeah, she come on to you yet?

What? No, no.
What are you talking about?

[chuckles] Ah, come on,
you don’t have to make excuses.

I know her.
You’re her type exactly.

-Meaning?
-Unavailable.

Ah.

Well, you know, infidelity makes
a monster out of the best of us.

-[chuckles]
-Just like your buddy

the Minotaur over here.

I was never much for the Greeks,
but that one story,

that really struck a nerve.

So, Poseidon is pissed
at Minos, the king of Crete,

for not sacrificing
a prize bull to him,

so he makes
Minos’s wife Pasiphaë

fall in love
with the same prize bull.

And she gets a slave
to-to build a cow out of wood

and hollow it out,
and she climbs inside

and the bull fucks her
and bingo, a monster is born.

[Victoria]
Get the fuck out of my way!

[footsteps approaching]

Dominique is dead!
She’s fucking dead.

-Hey, whoa, whoa, hey.
-She-she overdosed last night.

You want to give my daughter
some space here?

[Victoria]
What went on there?

[Sinclair] Close the
fucking door behind you.

[Dominique]
You saw her last night.

[Sinclair] What-what,
what are you talking about?

[Victoria]
You saw her last night!

[Sinclair]
What are you talking about?

-What did you do to her?
-[Letitia] Just go.

[Sinclair]
Shh, just calm down, calm down.

[Victoria] Do you know why
she died, you son of a bitch?

[Sinclair]
I didn’t know she died.

[Victoria]
What did you do to her?

[Sinclair] I didn’t do
anything to her, honey.

-Come on, now.
-[Victoria] I don’t believe you.

[Victoria] I don’t believe you.
You’re lying.

[Sinclair]
No. Calm down.

Just calm down.

[Victoria]
Don’t tell me to calm down.

I know you. You’re lying.
