All language subtitles for The Black Donnellys S01E07 - The Only Thing Sure

Everyone knows that Kevin
Donnelly has never been lucky.

Damn.

But as luck would have it,
after killing him,

Jimmy found Louie's cell phone,

with his whole bookmaking
business on it.

Then they found Whitey who
knew how to run the book.

Which left left Kevin and
Jimmy to collect the winnings.

Did I mention that
Jenny Reilly's dad

has been forgetting things?

Like the difference between
a bank and a mailbox?

Now their mortgage
payments are gone.

Okay, skip to the
Italian mob boss, Alo.

He wants peace with the Irish,

but Nicky Cottero,
he hates Irishmen,

so he killed a couple.

That was a mistake.

At this point,

Sean Donnelly hates the idea
of going back to school.

But his mom thinks school
will keep him out of trouble.

- Hey!
- Good luck with that.

And Dokey?

He's much more interested
in the future,

and in particular,
his nephew.

That little guy's mom,
Kate Ferrell,

has got a different
future in mind.

Too bad Tommy's
still stuck on Jenny.

"The only thing
sure about luck,

it that it will change."

- Tell us about Robert Kelly.
- Who?

"Bob the Mouth"?

Never heard of him.

But I gotta tell you,

you gotta feel for
a guy unlucky enough

to get tagged with
a name like that.

You wanna know what unlucky is?

How a guy can fall
off his chair,

like the one you're sitting in,

and break his neck.

You know, I suddenly remember
the fella you're talking about.

We met him around the time

- Jimmy decided to paint the Firecracker.
- How we gonna pay for all this?

What's up guys,
how we doing?

Doing real good, Mel.

- Don't worry about ringing this up.
- What do you mean?

I mean, we're good.

Aw, Jimmy.

Don't do this.

Look, I'm paying that bum Dokey

$200 a week so this kind
of thing doesn't happen.

Talk about luck.

If Jimmy doesn't decide to
paint the bar that day,

maybe Mel never mentions Dokey

extorting 200 a week from him.

And maybe we never get into
a whole new business...

- You're paying Dokey $200 a week?
- Yeah.

So that Dokey doesn't do
to me what you're doing.

Here's the deal, Mel.

How much do you think
all this stuff costs?

I dunno. 300 maybe.

Box it up for me

and I don't come
back for my 100

for another three weeks.

- What, your hundred?
- It's half what Dokey's getting.

And he's never even around.

At least I'll be around to help
you with things like this.

- Jimmy, please...
- Let's not belabor the point here, Mel.

The price could go up.

Actually, it's a lucky thing

we stumbled into the
extortion business,

because the bookmaking business

- was about to hit a bump.
- Stop right there.

What's any of this
have to do with Kelly?

Bob the Mouth? Yeah.

Oh, well,
all that started with Kevin.

Kevin?

- Kevin Donnelly?
- Yes, Kevin Donnelly.

Who are we talking about here?

Newton. Where are you?

You're making me look bad in
front of my partners, Newton.

I'm waiting on the corner.
Show up or call me.

Son of a bitch
still isn't there.

That's not good, Kev.

This guy owes us
ten grand, man.

Where do you get off giving
out a ten grand bust out?

He'll show.
I know the guy.

Call him again.

You're a real hump,
you know that.

I'm a hump?
You know who's a hump?

My Uncle Bob is a hump

because we laid off
Newton's ten grand bet

with him,
and if he doesn't get paid,

one of us is gonna die.

He's been forgetting things,

losing things.

I can't get him to
go see a doctor.

Why not?

He says there's
nothing wrong with him.

He won't even talk about it.

I think he's scared.

Hey...

I just found out that
we are seven months

behind in the mortgage.

We're gonna lose the diner,

we're probably gonna
lose the whole building.

Can't you refinance,
something like that?

Yeah, we've already done
that too many times.

He's gonna sell half to Dokey.

Dokey?

Dad went to him for a loan,

and Dokey said he
wouldn't give it to him

unless he made him a partner.

So they're gonna sign
the papers tomorrow.

No, don't let him do that.

You know Dokey.

If he gets half,
he'll rob the rest...

How much money do you need?

13,000.

13,000?

Forget it. I'm sorry...

I don't know what
I was thinking.

No, it's okay.

$13,000 is a lot of money...

If I can get it,
you might not like how I do it.

This diner is all he has.

I can't let him lose it.

The Bloc Team presents to
youThe Black Donnellys

Season 1 Episode 6
The Only Thing Sure

- You wanna borrow $13,000?
- By tonight.

- Ain't you an art student?
- Yeah.

You make a lot of
money studying art?

My wife's wondering why we
should loan you this money.

You gotta admit,
it's a fair question.

I know you a long
time, Michael.

Anybody ever say I was somebody
that you couldn't trust?

No, you got a great rep.

- Then what's the problem?
- Talk to you brother Kevin.

- Let's go, I'm hungry.
- Whoa, what?

- Kevin owes you money?
- Two grand.

You wanna know why I
never went after him?

Because then me and my
brothers would go after you.

I don't loan money to
nobody I can't beat up.

- I told you this can't happen, Jimmy.
- Jimmy, I'm gonna get the money.

- Joey, is that paint or prime?
- When I set this up with my Uncle Bob,

- I said this can't happen.
- Will you shut up a minute, please,

and let me talk?

"Only customers we know."
That was the rule, Jimmy.

- "Only customers we know."
- Whitey, would you shut up?

Can't you see I'm trying
to do something here?

Joey, stop with the paint!

What are you
hollering at me for?

I'm the one doing all the work.

- How much do we owe Bob?
- Same as Newton. 10,000.

What about the rest of
the week's collections?

About 5,000.
It doesn't help us with Bob.

Kevin, do you know this
Newton or don't you?

'Course I know him.
- You gonna collect this money?

- Yes! By noon? 'Cause that's
when Bob expects his money.

Hey, he said he'd
get the money.

Jimmy, can I have a...
a minute with you?

You asked me to go to my uncle,
and I did.

And I promised him that
whatever bets we laid off,

the money would be there
when it was supposed to.

Now you're siding
with your brother

as if somehow he's right.

How wrong is that, Jimmy?

You met my uncle.
He doesn't have a lot of patience.

And this is where Bob
the Mouth comes in.

Bob was a neighborhood
loan shark and bookie

who would pretty much
take action from anybody.

Okay? Tell me again.

How late are you going
to be with my money?

I'll say this about your uncle.

He knows how to
solve a problem.

Mainly because he
figured there was

nobody crazy enough
not to pay him.

I think me and you need to take
this out of Kevin's hands,

find this Newton guy,
throw him a beating.

Do what we gotta do
to get the money.

How long is it gonna take
you to find this Newton?

Give me till 3:00.

Whitey, go talk to your uncle,

tell him the money's
coming by 3:00.

You be back here with
that money by 2:30.

I know he's your brother,

but just for a second,

you should forget about that

and look at him for
the wackjob that he is!

What color is that?

- Green.
- Jimmy!

We didn't want green,
we wanted clover!

Jimmy, come here.

How am I supposed to
get this place painted

if I keep getting interrupted?

What?

I need you to loan
me some money.

Sure, from my
bookmaking business

that you think I
shouldn't be doing?

Don't bust my balls, Jimmy.
I need the money.

Okay.

Today's your lucky day,

because I actually need
something from you too.

What?

I don't know what he
did or how he did it,

- but Kevin screwed up.
- There's a twist.

I got three betters that didn't

come up with what they owe.

You help Kevin collect,

I give you ten percent.

Ten percent of how much?

First you want nothing
to do with any of it,

and now you're negotiating
for a better percentage?

Glad to see you're
coming around, Tommy.

Of course,
Tommy hadn't exactly come around.

What he had come
to was a decision.

An old Irish blessing says,

"Wherever you go,

may the luck of the
Irish go with you."

Father Dufelt hated
old Irish sayings.

Almost as much as he hated
people asking him for favors.

Here's all I'm saying.

I can pick up the phone
and make this happen.

But it's a favor.

And there are only so
many of these favors.

He wants to go back to school.

You're a semester and a half

from you and a high
school diploma.

All you had to do was show up.

You couldn't do it.

Now, don't let me
waste this favor on you

when I could give it to some
other kid who really wants it.

Put down the cake,

and talk to the Father.

If you don't wanna
go to school,

tell him.

Father,

I appreciate you
being here and I'm

kind of embarrassed that my
mom put you in this spot.

Sure, if you think

you can get me
back into school,

with my grades
being what they are,

I think it'd be a good
thing for me to try to do,

get my diploma.

You know, for my future.

You're sure?

Yep.

I'll get back to that.

Because at that moment,
Alo was hard to work,

trying to make a
decision on his own.

- Wait, wait, wait. Stop.
- What?

How many times I
gotta tell you?

Left arm straight.

As in keep your
left arm straight.

- I'm trying.
- Hit the ball.

- You're a spastic.
- I hate golf.

I'd rather play sports.

Look at the mug on you.

The least you could've
done was whack him

in the back of the head.

How you doing,
shovel head?

You learned a lesson.

Yeah, tempered steel to the
head usually does the trick.

Ray wanted to finish the job.
I wouldn't let him.

Any idea why?

The punishment wouldn't
have fit the crime, Alo.

You know,
I may be stupid...

I've never been
disloyal to you.

And you're an earner.

I don't discount that.

So what did you learn?

You don't want a war.

What about you?

I learn what he learns.

That's good, I like that.

So here's what I
need you to do.

Go make peace with the Irish,
like I asked.

And get the money they owe me.

Think you can do that?

Maybe I should just
get the shovel.

That's enough.

Well?

I'll do whatever
you need me to do.

I don't know how to make this
Dokey change his mind though.

Just go talk to him.

I got a feeling he might be
a little more approachable.

All right.

Okay, try it again.

First Jimmy says he trusts me,

then he sends you to
look over my shoulder?

What kind of trust
is that, huh?

Okay, you got three
collections to make here.

It totals to 15 grand.

Here's what we're gonna do.

I'm taking 13,000,

you can take the rest.

Excuse me, Tommy?

You're telling me you're
gonna rob Jimmy's money?

And this is who he
sends to watch over me?

I'm not telling you anything,
Kevin, I'm doing it.

You can help me,
or you can fight me.

Either way, I'm doing it.

You're seriously gonna rob
your own brother, Tommy?

That's, like, unethical.

I'm not helping you.
I'm calling Jimmy.

Hey!

Put the phone away.

- Back off, Tommy.
- Put the phone away!

I'm calling Jimmy.

I need this, Kevin.

When was the last time I
asked you for something?

You mean before you just asked
me to help you rob Jimmy?

I mean ever, Kevin.

Never.

I don't remember you ever
asking me for anything.

I'm asking you now.

I'm sorry!

I don't have it.

What would you like me to do?

I'm gonna to ride this
thing to my death

until I have the
money to pay you.

I don't know what else to say,
I don't...

Oh, God!

What did you have to
hit him for, Kev?

That's the way
you do it, Tommy.

I don't know what to tell you.

What do you think,
he's just gonna give us the money?

- What universe do you live in?
- Kevin!

Tommy, what do
you want from me?

See?

It's sweaty.

I told you,
I've been working all day.

What do you want?

What the hell are
you looking at?

Come on, Kevin. Let's go.

- Oh, hey, Kev?
- Yeah.

So my names' good, right?

- I can bet this week again?
- Yeah, no problem.

- Give me the money.
- It's sweaty.

Kevin.

You're taking care of this with Jimmy,
all right?

'Cause I'm not lying to him.

What are you doing?

Painting the door,
like you said.

With the trim brush?

Yeah, these bigger brushes,
they get too heavy.

Hey, Jimmy,
you got a minute?

Do the job right,
or don't do it at all.

Can I not do it at all,
is that a real option?

Shut up!

What's the matter?

- Everything all right?
- Yeah.

Look. I gotta make
some money fast.

- Why?
- I'm moving out.

What are you talking about?

Look, I can't handle being
at home with Ma anymore.

She keeps bugging me about
going back to school.

I quit school once already,
I don't wanna have to do it again.

Wouldn't it be easier just to
tell Ma you're not going back?

I tried. You know, I...

I couldn't do it.
I just don't wanna hurt her.

Plus she scares the
hell out of you.

Well, that too.

Look, Jimmy,
I know what you've been doing,

around the neighborhood
and everything.

So?

I wanna start
collecting for you.

I'd let you take Kevin's place,

but he's doing
such a great job.

Come on, Jimmy.

Seannie,

what I'm doing here...

it's not for you.

Mom's right,
go back to school.

No, it's okay.

Maybe I'll go to Dokey.

Maybe there's a job for me in
construction or the union.

I will shoot you before I let
you work for that donkey-faced,

looks like he's from
the old country ass.

- You want a job?
- Yeah.

Okay.

You'll be my new
beverage manager.

- I like that.
- I'll be good at that.

Hey, you know the
first thing I would do?

- What?
- A jukebox.

Good music always
gets people in.

What does that have to do with
being a beverage manager?

I don't know.

Look, look,
good music, hot girls;

makes guys wanna drink more.

See, I knew you'd
be good at this.

Come on.

- Where are you guys going?
- To buy a jukebox.

- What about me?
- You're gonna keep painting.

Will do.

Can't believe that
guy didn't know him.

He didn't "not know him",

he never heard of him.

Yeah, what's that guy know?

- Maybe he just started working today.
- He was the owner, Kevin.

If Newton worked there,
he would've known about it.

- Maybe if we waited a few more minutes...
- Kevin, Newton doesn't work there.

- He lied to you.
- Where does he live?

I can't believe he lied to me.

Where does he live, Kevin?

- Who?
- Newton!

Uh...

What the hell am I looking for?

- The deed.
- Oh, yeah.

It's in the file cabinet.

I know it's in
the file cabinet.

I'm tired.

People forget things
when they're tired.

But I'm not so tired
that I didn't find

a way out of our problems,
am I?

Oh, yeah,
Dokey's gonna be a big help.

Didn't the bank say they
were gonna foreclose?

That's not gonna happen now.

Give me a little damn credit,
will you?

I made an appointment
with a doctor.

A consultation.

I'm old, Jenny.

I lost a little memory,
that's all.

You know any old people
that hasn't happened to?

Tell me this is the
right apartment.

I guess the guy's not home.

He's not home, Tommy.

What's the hell is going on?

You're banging on my door,

you're banging on my window.

Come out here right now,
bring the money with you.

What money?

Kevin? What's going on?

Hi, Brian.

I thought you were
down at the shore.

Yeah, I was supposed to be,
but my car's in the shop.

- Who is this nut job?
- Kevin, tell me this is Brian Newton.

I wish I could.

What?

- I'm Newton.
- You're Newton?

You made the bets?

You lost the money?

The $10,000?

Yes.

Yes, to all of the above.

I'm Newton.

I'll tell you what
I was gonna do.

I was gonna pay Jimmy back.

I was thinking favorite,
but now,

I'm gonna have to
go with long shot.

A horse?

That's your big idea, Kevin?

After all this,

how can you think
about a horse?

Nobody ever understood why
Kevin thought he was lucky.

I mean,
we all just thought he was crazy.

But like most crazy things,

- there was a reason for it.
- Kevin, I'm gonna be late.

- I need a name.
- I don't know.

Okay, let's see.

Hmm.

Who's my lucky charm?

- Tommy?
- No, you.

- Me?
- You.

So pick a horse, Lucky.

Come on, trust your gut.

It's a good idea, Tommy.

I mean,
I was gonna take the money we collect,

put it on this horse to win,

and then we'd have enough money

to pay Jimmy back
Newton's money.

You wanna take the money we
have and lose it on a horse?

That's where you're wrong.

See, I wasn't
thinking lose, Tommy.

And plus, this isn't just any old horse,
all right?

I have been waiting weeks
for Butterbro to run again.

I don't wanna hear it.

We're gonna take the 3,500
we've already collected,

and with this 1,500,

I'll have enough to
try to deal with Dokey.

Dokey?

He's trying to take
Jenny's diner.

I can't find it.

I thought I had it,
but I don't.

I guess my husband
must've taken it.

$1,500?

You guess your husband
took $1,500 to work?

She's lying, Tommy.

It's what gamblers do,
they lie.

Listen lady,
we know you have the money.

We don't want any problems.

We just want you to
pay back what you owe.

You're right,
I do have it.

But it's my rent money.

And if I give it to you,

then my husband's gonna know
that I'm gambling again,

and he'll take my kids.

And I can't let
you do that to me.

Kevin, will you please
find the money?

No, no, please,
don't find the money.

Hey, hey, hey.

Please... Please don't.

Okay. Don't cry,
that's not fair.

We didn't make the bet.
You did.

Right, right.

You're just gonna...

Listen, just give me a second.

Just give me half a second,
oh, please.

'Cause how much
could it mean to you?

It's only money to you.

This is my life.

I will do it.

- I'll do anything.
- What?

I found it.

- Please, please, don't.
- I've got it right here.

Just... Please don't.

Leave it.

- Leave the money?
- Yeah.

Let's go.

What the hell just happened?

Don't talk to me, Kevin.

You go that way.
I'm going this way.

Tommy!

We could still bet the horse
with the money we have.

Hey!

Here's Napoleon, okay?

Now, he's like this
big time emperor, okay?

- That's like a king, right?
- Exactly.

Just like a king.

Now, Napoleon and his army,

they've been on this major
winning streak, okay?

They're taking over the world.

Napoleon had all these big guns

and he had more men than
your guys over here.

So Napoleon,

he's feeling pretty good.

Now, over here,

you got the Duke of Wellington.

And he's the underdog.

He's gotta find an angle.

- So... what happens?
- Rain.

See, the one thing
that Napoleon

did not see coming,

and the one thing that

Wellington over here
was looking for,

was it rained buckets, Matthew.

I mean rained like it
never rained before.

All of Napoleon's big guns,

all of his horses, well,
they just weren't worth anything,

because they were
all stuck in the mud.

Napoleon lost a whole
empire in one battle,

because he didn't see
a rainstorm coming.

You've always gotta
look out for the thing

that you don't know.

Your father never
taught me that, but...

I don't hold it against him,
you know?

It doesn't mean I
can't teach you, right?

You know?

Hey.

I gotta leave you for a
couple of minutes, all right?

So why don't you set
these guys back up.

When I get back,

I'll tell you the story of
Richard the Lionhearted.

It's a much better story.
Okay?

How're you doing, guys?

Good.

You said you got
something to say?

Yeah.

I made a mistake.

I should never have
talked about business

the day you buried
your brother.

All right, I was wrong.

And if I insulted you,

I apologize.

I'm just here to
make things right.

Yeah, well,
whacking my guys,

it didn't help too much,
did it?

We already got straightened
out for that, all right?

So here's what we
have on the table:

Same deal your brother had with Sal,
no more no less.

That's fine by me.

Good.

See you next week.

- That was easy.
- What, you surprised?

- Ain't you?
- No,

Alo had this set up long
before we got here.

What the hell do these
two guys got going on

- that we don't know about?
- I don't know.

Yeah, well,
we gotta find out.

'Cause if we don't,
we're dead.

Just a matter of time.

Look what you've
done to yourself.

You used to be a handsome kid.

- You still on the junk?
- No.

You're a liar.

There was a time...

I would've done
anything for you.

Now you...

you come to me
with this garbage

who doesn't know how
to pay his debts.

Despite what your
mother thought,

and I always hoped,

you're nothing but a lying,
little turd.

I expect to get my $10,000.

You bring this Jimmy
to my place tonight.

And if he doesn't
have my money...

Well,

while I am reasoning with him,

you stick something like this

in his back.

Uncle Bob,

- can I say something?
- No.

Just do what I say.

Or I'll kill you both.

You can look at
the menu

But you just
can't eat...

Oh.

- Hi.
- Hey.

Good to see you.

- Everything all right?
- Yeah.

- Come in.
- No, thanks.

I just came by for a favor.

I need to borrow some money.

Oh.

Okay.

Sure.

I wouldn't say sure until
you know how much it is.

Then maybe you should tell me.

Tommy knew she would
give him the money.

That's why he went to her.

How much do you need?

But it wasn't until Tommy
looked into Kate's eyes

that he knew just how much
of a mistake this was.

Come on, buddy, let's go.

Here's your mom.

You know what,
this is wrong.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

It's fine.
He's just dropping Matthew off.

It's okay. I'm sorry.
I really am.

Dokey.

Hey Matthew,
how we doing?

- Hi.
- Hey.

What you doing here, Tommy?

Nothing, just stopped by
to say hi to Matthew.

Did you come to play with me?

I did,

but I can see you're here
with your Uncle Dokey,

so maybe we could do
it another time, huh?

I'll see you.

Why do you keep reading
this thing, Kevin?

Butterbro.

That's the horse you've
been talking about all day.

- Things change, Tommy.
- What things change?

Track conditions,
the jockeys change.

Let me take care of this,
Tommy, all right?

I know how to gamble.
You don't.

It's raining.

That's good,

but there are other
things at work here.

- How about that...
- Tommy, shh!

Okay, Butterbro.
He's still 13 to 1.

- Okay, Butterbro.
- It's a lock. He can't lose.

- Wait a minute.
- What?

Lester Bangs.
He's a mudder too.

- I didn't see that.
- So?

Oh, boy. This isn't good.

- What?
- Butterbro just went down 5 to 1.

Shoot, we still get 17.5 back.

- That's enough.
- No, not for both of us,

Tommy, all right?
Let me handle this.

There's another
horse just as good.

Lester Bangs. 14 to 1.

Forget the odds.

Which horse is gonna
win the race, Kevin?

Lester Bangs.

Put everything on Lester Bangs.

- Not Butterbro?
- Lester Bangs.

He can't lose.
It's all right here.

Okay.

But wait, wait,
come back. Uh...

You're killing me, Kevin.

Pick a horse.

Pick Lester Bangs.

Pick Butterbro.
Just pick one.

I don't know, Tommy.

They're both mudders,
both carrying 126 pounds.

I don't know.

Kevin.

I trust you.

You're a good gambler,

no matter what
everybody else says.

Just pick one.

Tommy was trying to get Kevin

to trust his gut.

And that's what
Kevin was afraid of.

This one.

- You're sure?
- Yeah. This one.

Lester Bangs.

He can't lose, Tommy.

Put it all on Lester Bangs.

Hey, Jenny.

Your father around?

He's upstairs.

You need something?

Well, would you get
him for me, please?

I can help you.
What do you need?

I got papers here
from the lawyers

and they need your
father's signature.

I can wait if he's busy, but...

Those don't need to be
signed till tomorrow.

Oh, that's not your decision,
little girl.

Now, do me a favor.
Go upstairs

and get your father, please.

He'll sign them tomorrow,

when he's supposed to.

Okay.

Tomorrow it is, then.

Mind if we sit
down for a minute?

Sure, if you're gonna
order something.

You know, Earl,

I don't understand people.

Her father comes to me
and asks me for a favor.

I oblige.

And now she's treating
me like I got leprosy.

Go figure. I mean, why?

Yeah, I think she likes you.

It's just her way
of showing it.

I'll take a steak, medium.

- A couple eggs.
- We don't have any steak.

No steak, huh?

Well, we're gonna
have to fix that.

What do you want?

I think I want a milk shake.

All right.
Two milk shakes.

- What flavor?
- I don't know.

- What do you recommend?
- I don't like milk shakes.

I didn't ask you that.

I'm not gonna pick for you.

What do you recommend, Jenny?

I recommend, Dokey,

that you turn my father down
for that loan he asked you.

That's your answer?

Now, let me tell you something.

It just dawned on me right now

how I'm gonna enjoy
owning this joint.

'Cause I'm gonna make
a lot of changes, okay?

Now, Earl, order.

Because Jenny is awfully busy

with all these customers,
as you can see.

Right?

There's the Ro Diamonte,
a very handsome model.

See the grill work?

Metallic, give you a
little sci-fi feel.

No sci-fi.

- Okay.
- No sci-fi.

We've got the AMI Starglow,
in many ways ahead of its time.

- Didn't I just say no sci-fi?
- Yes, you did. I'm wrong.

Let me show you this.

Over here we have the Rowe B13.

This is your lady.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

Yeah, but $6,000?

Don't worry about the price.

You're gonna need a CD package.

I can set it up.

We'll get you a little
bit of everything.

Rap, easy listening,
classic rock.

The Doors, The Byrds,
The Monkees...

Ah, The Monkees.

I hate the Monkees.

I see them in the street,
I'll beat the puss out of them.

You probably don't have to
worry about that, Jimmy.

So we'll leave The Monkees out.

It's 3:00, man.

We're supposed to be
at my uncle's now.

We're not there, Jimmy.

Kevin never showed
up with the money?

No, I'm at the...
I'm at the Firecracker,

by myself.
You're not there.

Kevin's not there.

Just that idiot with
the small brush.

He says you're out
buying a jukebox.

He's not answering,
'cause he doesn't have it.

Call your uncle,
tell him we're running late.

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

He says if I don't show
up with the money,

we gotta go by his place
tonight and explain why.

That means he's gonna
want to kill us.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

He is my uncle.

No, he's gonna want to kill us.

Come on.

Come on!

Remember I told you the reason

Kevin thought he was lucky?

Yes!

I won!

I won! Yes!

- I won!
- Come on!

- Come on, Lester Bangs.
- Come on!

But it wasn't because
he won that race...

It was because it
was the last thing

his father said to him.

And who wouldn't
hold on to that?

- Come on, come on!
- Lester Bangs!

- Go, go, go!
- Lester Bangs!

- Go on!
- Run!

He's gonna do it,
Lester Bangs.

Come on! Come on!

Hit him, Lester Bangs!

And Butterbro wins by a
neck with a time of 1:18...

Butterbro, you whore.

I knew it.

And I knew it too.

I don't know anything about horses,
but I know this.

For a lucky guy, Kevin,

you're the worst
gambler in the world.

I put everything we
had on Butterbro.

Your first pick.

You pulled through, buddy.

- What floor is it?
- 17.

All right, Whitey.

We both know your uncle's
gonna want to kill me.

I figure he asked
you to set me up.

How are you gonna do it?

I'm supposed to stab you.

In the back.

Great.

Wait a minute. Stop!

So you're telling us
that Jimmy Donnelly

- killed Robert Kelly?
- Actually, I'm not saying that.

I can't even tell you how

what happened happened
next or even why.

But I can tell
you what happened.

Jimmy left Sean
outside as a lookout

to keep him out of harms' way.

Unfortunately, it was
about a foot and a half

from where Bob the
Mouth body landed.

Tommy, how am I gonna
go to the Firecracker

and tell Jimmy I
don't have his money?

Do what I told you, Kevin.

Tell him we collected the money
from Newton and I took it.

I can't do that.

- I'm no good at lying.
- Actually, you're really good at lying.

You don't think you lied when
you took "Newton's" bets?

I wasn't lying.

I took the money.

I knew I wasn't Newton.

What you gotta do is
stop lying to yourself

and admit you're a great liar.

Is Jenny around,
Mr. Reilly?

No.

Any idea when she'll be back?

No.

Can we go talk to Jimmy now?

You're late.

Where's my money?

Newton wasn't around.

Kevin, you promised me
you'd get that money.

Yeah, that might've
been a mistake.

Okay, so no Newton.

Where's the rest?

All right, Jimmy,
I can't lie to you.

We did collect 3,500 but
we put in on a horse,

and Tommy picked the horse so

I think he should
keep all the money.

Kevin, what is the
matter with you?

What? I'm trying
to help you out.

All right?

Besides, I told you
I'm no good at lying.

Wait a minute.
Let me get this straight.

You collected my 3,500,

you bet it all on a horse,

the horse won,

and now you're telling me
you wanna keep it all?

Not Kevin, me.

Hey, I told you this
morning, Jimmy.

I need the money,
I'm keeping it.

Really?

You're keeping my money?

It's the way it's
gotta be, Jimmy.

Oh, I missed a spot over there.

Okay, Tommy. No problem.

But you should know,
the money wasn't mine.

It's Bob the Mouth's.

The money you're stealing
belongs to Bob the Mouth.

Yeah, I forgot to tell you.

Tommy, you know
how Bob operates.

I'm gonna have to kill him,

'cause he's gonna
wanna kill me.

Jimmy left out the part about
Bob taking a walk on air.

If that's okay with you,
it's okay with me.

Now, to anyone else,
this is a simple dilemma:

you save the life of a
despicable human being

or you help the person you
love most in the world.

You know what, Jimmy?

You can do whatever
you gotta do.

But Tommy always made things
harder on himself than most guys.

Here you go.

I'm sorry I had to do this.

Did it ever occur to you it feels
good for me to be able to help?

I'm gonna pay you back.

Every cent.

That's not important.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

You know...

Bob The Mouth

belongs where he belongs.

He doesn't count.

Now, you and me

and Kevin and Tommy...

that's all that counts.

No longer easy
on the eyes

But these wrinkles
masterfully disguise

The youthful
boy below

Who turned your
way and saw...

What's that?

You did good today.
