City on a Hill (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City - full transcript

♪♪

[doors close]

[officer] These are the guns
seized at Bromley Heath.

Twelve-gauge pump.

MP 40.

One Colt 1911.

Two Ruger 38's.

One Glock 9 mil.

And that's the AK.

I gotta take this
to the lab.

[door opens]



[Hank]
The Bromley Heath arrests,

they have priors.

Two of them did gladiator
training at Canterbury

as juveniles.

The other one was tried
as an adult,

but the conviction
was overturned.

Proving Lady Justice
isn't truly blind.

[Jackie] Decourcy Ward,
you fucking hypocrite.

[Decourcy]
This coming from the guy

who woulda underbid Judas
to betray Jesus?

You're dumping on your own.
You're presupposing their guilt

-because they're black.
-The fuck you say to me?

Ain't 'cause they're black.

It's about the facts.
Look at the rap sheet.



I don't like to think about it
like that,

but at least I'm honest enough
to say what's probably true.

Indians used to kill
retarded babies.

[Hank]
And we're off.

[Jackie] Nope.
I read this in a book.

The little red kid
came out bent,

twisted with a fucked-up foot
or a funny lip,

they had no use for him.

They didn't think twice.
Into the river.

Oh, shit,
what'd I walk into?

Nothing. Just a man
looking in the mirror,

not liking what he sees.

That mirror looks both ways,
Jackie.

And I'm on the other side of it
looking at you,

judging your fucked-up brothers
in Charlestown

same way as I judge
these boys in Roxbury.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
That's different.

-How so?
-'Cause...

you believe
in rehabilitation.

Second chances.

Time off for good behavior.
I say black or white,

throw the whole lousy bunch
of them into the fucking river.

Anyone want to hear
the lab report?

Please.

Ballistics can't yet match
the 7.62 mm round

taken from the armored truck

to the AK seized
at Bromley Heath.

-Shit.
-You sure?

Bullshit. Who fucking cares?

[Hank] We need something
before Decourcy can reconvene

-the grand jury.
-No, no, no, no.

I'm calling bullshit.

The grand jury doesn't know

that we don't have a match
on the fuckin' bullet,

and they're a grand jury.

They're prone to
believing the worst.

I swear on my dick

we're going to get
a match on that fragment.

But in the meantime,
we keep fucking pressing.

This is why FBI stands
for "Fucking Bunch of Idiots."

County Sheriff's Department
doesn't just date-rape their way

into a case
hoping for the best.

And your conviction rates
prove that.

[Decourcy]
Hey.

I know this kid.
Ziba Pippin.

[Decourcy]
United States Code 18.922.

Mandatory sentencing
for gun trafficking's 15 years.

Fifteen.

You add murder, you serve
your whole time on earth.

Oh, you tired,
Mr. Pippin?

Of this bullshit, yeah.

[scoffs]

There you are, serving me this
fucked-up code of silence.

The AK-47 found
in your apartment

was used to execute
three white guards

in an armored car robbery.

Look at my sheet.

See "armored car robbery"
among my many achievements?

Did you ever think about
where those guns came from?

That maybe those
Charlestown cowboys

wanted you to have it
so they could blame you

for the deaths of those three
white guards, hmm?

Prison ain't shit to me.

♪♪

[Decourcy sighs]

You don't recognize me,
do you?

All assholes
look alike.

I know you from church.

I know your mom.

Delia Pippin.

Works at Ronnie's Market.

Nice woman.

Doesn't earn much money,
though.

To make ends meet,

she wholesales food
out the back door.

Stolen food.

But who could blame her?
Tough times, right?

She'll only get a year,

maybe two at the most...

when I convict her.

Now, last chance.

Who sold the guns
to Leonard Jensen?

Some guy.

Hmm?

Speak up. Who?

Some guy...

from a bar in Revere.

A guy named Hook?

Yeah.

[door opens]

Wow.

You almost had me believing
you'd have put his ma away.

[laughing]

-Oh, jeez!
-[kids laughing]

Come here! Aah!

Come here, you two
little stinkers.

Come here.

What is going on in here?

All right, all right,
all right.

-My little angel.
-[girl] Grandma got me.

Yeah, well,
that's what wicked witches do.

Come on, I just finished baking.
There's cookies in the kitchen.

Cookies!

All right, be careful.
They're hot.

Don't burn your mouth.

When was the last time

those little shits got a bath?
They stink.

The hot water heater's
still broken.

-What do you want me to do?
-Goddamn it, Cathy.

Didn't I tell you to call
Cyrus DeVany?

Please, the last time
I called him, he charges me $80,

the boiler shits the bed before
he's even back in his truck.

Are you kidding me?

-No, I got to call Pearson's.
-Go ahead.

Spend what little money
you got left.

You know,
because what do I know?

Yeah, exactly.
What do you know?

You know what
you actually are?

You're one of those
fortune-telling machines

down at the carnival.

I don't feel so good.

What is this, your bullshit way
of trying to win this argument?

Cathy, I don't feel right.

Yeah, well,
join the frigging club.

C-Can't catch my breath.

What? What do you need?

I can't breathe.

All right, all right, all right.
Come here.

All right, look at me.
Hey.

Dottie, look at me.
Dottie!

She hasn't been good
to herself, Frankie.

I keep telling her,
but she won't listen.

Doctors are saying
she ain't eating right.

Too many smokes.
Too many gin and tonics.

Her blood pressure's
sky-high.

It's diabetes.

They're saying they may have
to cut off your mom's feet.

[sighs]
Frankie...

I got no insurance.

I can't pay
for none of this.

I got it, Pops.

I'll fix it.

Lawyer.

[sighs]

Hey, lawyering up
is your right.

So, fuck it. Call your guy.
Burn up your cash.

But lawyers are not permitted
to participate in a grand jury,

which is where this thing
is leading.

You ever been indicted,
Mr. Hook? Hmm?

Lawyer.

Hmm.

♪♪

Lawyer.

[wheezing]

[whispering]
Ma.

I thought these might
cheer you up a little bit.

I'm not in the mood
to be cheered up.

[Jimmy]
How's my guardian angel?

-Jimmy.
-Hey, Ma.

[laughs] Hey.

[Jimmy]
Hey.

[groaning]

I got this...this...

[laughs]

Look at that.

How'd you know I was dying
for a taste?

How do I know?
Because I pay attention, Ma.

[Frankie]
Guy rolls out of bed at noon,

pinches a beer
from my fridge,

and you treat him like Bobby Orr
on a breakaway?

Yeah? What'd you bring?

I brought the checkbook,
as usual, Jimmy.

That's fucking good.

-Here. C'mon.
-Nice.

[sniffles]

Is this Steve?

[Steve, on phone]
Yeah. Hey, Frankie.

Ah, my mother took ill, so...

uh, I'm stuck at the hospital
right now for a little bit.

Can you get someone
to cover my-- my shift?

Of course. Hey, you hear
what happened at the Ebb Tide?

No.

A statie and a sheriff
waltzed in,

arrested Hook.

♪♪

Frankie, you there?

Yeah, hey, Stevie,
that's my mother calling.

I got to go. Thanks.

Fuck!

What the fuck?

They arrested Hook.

Oh, fuck!

What the fuck
are we going to do?

Huh?

So, uh, at school,

my first paper...

I got an "A"-plus.

[Jackie]
Oh.

Wow.

Only "A" I ever got?

Detention.

[laughs]

[Bennie] So, uh,
why did you stop studying

for your teaching degree
in the first place?

Because you came along.

Great.

Great, keep putting
that shit on me.

Bennie, come on, you were worth
the change in plans, hon.

What was this paper
all about?

From my comparative
psychology class.

Yeah, the, uh--

the conflicting theories
between Jung and Freud.

It took me forever.

See, while Freud
divided the psyche--

I raise my glass a lot,
I know.

But I raise it tonight

to my amazing daughter
and her A-plus.

[Jenny] Oh, boy.

[doorbell rings]

Who the hell's that?

Sit. Eat. I got it.

[pounding on door]

[doorbell, banging on door
continue]

What the fuck
are you doing here?

You didn't fucking
call me.

You can't come
to my motherfucking--

Jackie.

I'm pregnant.

-Jackie, what's going on?
-Nothing, no, no.

She's-- she's just someone
that came to me for help.

-She's confused.
-He wants to kill our baby.

No, no, no. Shh, shh.
Let's go. Come here. Come here.

-Hon, c'mere, it's okay.
-Hey, what are you doing?

No, whoa, whoa.
Wait a second.

No, no, she's not
coming in here.

No, you can't--
She can't come--

You fucking scumbag
son of a bitch.

-What?
-Ma knew.

She tried to warn me.
I didn't listen.

How the fuck could you
bring your shit to my doorstep?!

-We were just having a nice--
-Get out now!

I don't have any clothes!

Yeah? Then go fucking naked!

FBI man Jackie Rohr.

No bags?

Not staying long?

Not up to me at present.

The usual?

Sure.

No. Uh...

no, you know,
not tonight.

No brunettes.

[laughs]

Do I know you?

You look familiar.
Where are you from?

North Shore.

I could have got that
from the hoops. What part?

Fuck do you care?

Just thought I knew you.

No, you don't.

I don't talk to reporters.

Well, you would be the only cop
in the city

-not willing to talk to me.
-Well, maybe that's because

I'm not interested in a kneeler
out beyond the fens.

One broad to another here?

You got yourself
a nice little job

being an investigator
on this grand jury.

Now, I understand why the county
and the state are involved,

but what makes this
a federal case?

Why is the FBI all over
some four-year-old

missing person bullshit?

No clue what
you're talking about.

No, you know what I'm talking
about when I say Jackie Rohr?

I am done with you.

Look, I respect
what you're doing.

Keeping your mouth shut.

It's your own version
of the code of silence.

But the Boston FBI
is the most corrupt

law enforcement body
in the history of this country.

And think, Jackie Rohr
is their John Wayne?

Wait a minute.
Are you fucking him?

Are you? Have you?

[laughs]

Oh, that's what this is, huh?

Jackie would mow
over his own feet

if he thought there was
something in the grass

that he could trade
for something better.

Get ready, Sheriff Benham,
you could be next.

Aw, jeez.
[laughs]

Look at that.

It's fuck-you o'clock
already.

[laughs]

You know the president
of the Senate

said the same thing to me?

[whispering]
And I'm still here.

That reporter bitch
Michaela Freda,

she says that Jackie's gonna
derail us for his own good.

Does she know something
that we don't?

Now I got to sell
all my hoops.

Why?

Because I saw the same ones
on her.

Wait, wait.

Where's the inventory
from the raid?

Uh...

An M16, an M231.

The National Guard armory
in Macon, Georgia,

reported a cache of weapons
stolen this winter.

M16s and M231s.

Hopefully, they match the serial
numbers of what we seized.

There's no AK on the list.

Time to go
to the gun store.

Huh?

The ATF.

[dials]

♪♪

Later.

Hey, sweetheart?

Sweetheart, I want
to talk to you.

About Dad, yeah.

Yeah.

Look, I-I know
you love him.

But what happened
with that woman...

I-I can't live with it.

And I can't forgive.

Look, I've been praying
all night, and I...

I end every prayer
thinking about you, and...

Yeah, you're pissed.
I get you.

No, it's...

Do you really--

In psych class,
we're learning about empathy.

I don't want to hear
about school

or your "A"-fuckin'-plus.

No, you know, and I-I-I get
what you're doing right now,

acting all sincere
and shit,

'cause you want me
to stay with you.

But it's not gonna happen.

I want to live with Dad.

Fine! Fine, you go
and you live with him!

And his bullshit, his lies,
the nights alone!

I haven't done anything
but be a good mother to you.

And this is the payoff?

Oh, you take his side?

Well, I am fucking done
with the both of ya!

Go! Go ahead!

[Jackie]
Rosa.

Hey. Over here.

Wow. Looking good.

Right this way.

Got a table
right over here.

Here, have a seat.

Smoke Darjeeling tea

and a Fonseca Bin 27
ruby port...for you.

Jackie.

This room.

The Dupont. I mean...

-Too much.
-Oh, no, no, no.

Not for you.

Not for what I want
to talk to you about.

A serious and polite
conversation.

Rosa, I think you and I
got off on the wrong foot.

From the day we met.

Well, and I take
all the blame here...

I presented a grossly false
image of myself,

and then I poured on the charm

and I threw money around
like William Randolph Hearst.

It was all bullshit.

But my intentions
were honest.

Honest Jackie Rohr, hmm?

I was nervous. I...

I was afraid that you and Joe
wouldn't give consent,

and by-- by that I mean
you wouldn't bless

me and Jenny
being together.

You didn't have
Joe or me fooled.

I know that.

And that's why I'm here
to tell you that you were right.

You were right all along.

I'm not good enough
for your daughter.

Which you prove
on a daily basis.

What's your play here, Jackie?

Rosa...

with a gun to my head
and St. Peter taking notes,

I will never deny Jenny again.

I want to make this right.

I want to make my girl happy.

I want to come home.

And you could help me
do that.

I want my driver's license back.

I'm a fed.

State took away your license.
What can I do?

I want to drive again.

Rosa, you hit a fucking
school bus.

And I want more port.

Deputy Chung, you're acting
like I'm asking

for the keys
to your house here.

Look, we raided a tenement
in Roxbury.

We seized guns,
guns which match weapons

stolen from a federal armory,
right?

Now, all I want to do
is find out if my case

wing-mans any ongoing operations
the ATF may possibly have

that pertain to AK-47's.

You know? And we can all,
you know, share the wealth.

Very noble and well spoken.

Here's the ugly truth,
Mr. Ward.

There is nothing
I will share

with any agency
in Suffolk County.

Why?

There are so many fucking leaks
in Boston,

you don't even get puddles
when it rains.

This is prophylactic protection
of my agency.

Thank you.

Hey, you're...

what are you, 40...ish?

Yeah, why?

Oh, you must have went through
FLETC down in Glynco, huh?

Yeah, so?

Doug, you know Doug.
Doug Fioritto.

Head instructor
at FLETC.

Come on, you know Doug.
He's a badass overman.

Yeah, he's a legend.

[Decourcy]
Yeah, he's a buddy of mine.

Good buddy of mine.

Now, listen,

you don't want me
calling him

saying one of his foremen
is aiding and abetting

inner-city gun violence, right?

And you don't want him
calling you,

ripping you a new
asshole.

Right?

Do you swear
there will be no leaks?

Yeah.

How'd you know the lead
FLETC instructor?

I don't. I looked up his name
before we came.

Knowledge is power
and commands obedience.

Oh, Jesus,
don't you start quoting.

This is my chance.

My chance at having a life.

A teaching job,
good friends.

A life of my own, okay?

Where my-- my fuckups are mine,
they're not someone else's.

They're not--
not his.

Well, you don't
have a job.

And Jackie's
a good provider.

Did-- Did you
talk to him?

What, me?
No, I hate the bastard.

So, then why the pressure
to take him back, huh?

Because you're not using
that brain of yours.

All that Freud and shit,
and you don't see.

Your heart's beating up
on your brain.

You think he'd fight fair
in a divorce?

Jackie's got
the bank accounts.

How would you buy food
or gas or pay for the lights?

-You couldn't.
-I don't care about the money.

He'll take Bennie.

You missed your chance to stand
on your own like I told you,

but that don't matter now.

His guilt will get you
whatever you want.

A new car.

A diamond fucking tiara.

I don't know, Ma.

I-I-I can't...

This broke my broken heart.

Yeah, well...

be as dramatic as you want.

But not a day goes by

I don't regret letting
your father walk out.

Well, who'd he walk out on,
Ma, huh?

You? Or me?

[knock on door]

Mr. Ward.

What, you, uh-- you don't
call me Decourcy anymore, Andre?

Do you have a minute?

Sure. Anything for the cause.

That's actually
the reason I came.

I'm sure you're aware
of the rumors

surrounding Reverend Fields
and his behavior

with some of the women
in the congregation.

They're not rumors.

I know.

The reason I came
to speak with you is Siobhan.

You spend a lot of time
with my wife, don't you?

Mr. Ward, I really don't know
why you say that like that.

Siobhan is my friend.

-And I'm engaged.
-Hmm.

Okay.

I'm listening.

Siobhan confronted the reverend
with the accusations.

And I bet he didn't
take that well.

He did not.

Worse, he's been

-bad-mouthing Siobhan...
-Hmm.

...to some of the other
members of the coalition.

He's saying she's a lawyer,
so she lies.

And she doesn't
belong with us.

Now, I'm a good Christian,
and I admire Siobhan.

Fields' words upset me.

I tried to speak with him
about it,

and he scoffed at me.

Like he does.

Well, I, um...

I appreciate you
telling me this.

If I were Siobhan's husband,
I'd want to know.

Thank you, Andre.

You're welcome, Decourcy.

[indistinct PA announcement

Why are you so nervous? Hmm?

Why am I so--? I--

Are you fucking
kidding me?

She's laying in there
waiting for the saw.

So why don't you go pour
a little gin down her throat?

[scoffs]

Oh, fuck.
Same old story, huh, Frank?

You don't know
how to enjoy yourself.

You're barely even
a fucking human being.

You did everything the right way
your entire life,

-and look where it's got you.
-It's got me about ready

to punch you
in your fucking head.

[Jimmy] Fuck you,
you piece of shit!

You think I'm
fucking scared right now?

All right!

-I'll fucking go right now.
-All right!

-Shut up, both of you.
-[Jimmy] What?

Hey! Back up. You're not going
to say anything?

What do you want me to say?
Dottie's the referee

between these two,
not me.

Ohh, fuck.

What are you two not doing
to fuck with Hook

and these Charlestown assholes?

Does your mouth hole
ever get tired?

It's a gift. How did your
interview with Hook go?

What'd he give us?

Nothing. He's hiring counsel.

Nothing on the AK-47?

What'd I say? No.

All right, let's-let's-let's
think this through.

Where does a 1960s Soviet-made
Kalashnikov come from?

Weapon of choice
of the Vietcong

and the Red Army.

Roxbury gangsters?
I mean...

Hang on.

Was Hook in 'Nam?

Um...no, but his brother was.

-What branch?
-The Corps.

Ah, fucking bingo!

I look like Medusa
with a head full of Pepto.

Oh, come on.

You're going to be gorgeous
by the time I'm done.

You know that hot young doctor,
Davison?

He's going to go insane.

[chuckles]

Why are you being
so nice to me?

You're sick.

What else?

[sighs]

All right,
maybe I got a question.

So ask while I'm still
breathing.

[sighs]

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

How'd you put up
with that shit...

for all those years?

How'd you learn to handle
all this stress

of not knowing
whether your husband's

going to be coming home
for dinner,

or trying to make bail?

So, what, you want to have
a real conversation?

Oh, you know what?
Go fuck yourself, honestly.

Years ago,
Frankie was just a baby.

Jimmy wasn't even a drunken
roll in the hay yet.

Someone from the office...

comes by.

He's with a guy.

He's bleeding.

He's shot in the shoulder.

Says to Richie, you know,

"Can you hide him
for a few days?"

So Richie puts him
in the basement.

I say to Richie
I'm gonna take Frankie

to my mother's for a couple
of days till he's gone.

He says I can't.

Everything's got to look normal.

Anyway, a couple
of days later,

guy from the office comes by,
gets the guy and drives off.

Took me two hours to clean
the bloodstain off the floor.

Richie got an envelope.

We didn't miss a house payment
for a year.

All right.

So how'd you do it?

Hmm?

How'd you get through
those couple of days

not knowing who or what?

How?

I did it out of need.

♪♪

We needed diapers.

We needed a roof.

We needed food.

You know, we all live our life
the way we live it

because we have to.

You want to keep
your family together?

You ignore the stress.

You hide the fear.

You never let your husband
see the worry,

'cause that can
get him killed.

The end of the day,
you have no choice.

Even Rose Kennedy
couldn't escape it.

Yeah.

And four of her kids
are dead.

But she's still going,
ain't she?

[bell tolling]

[grunts] Oh! Foul!
That was a charge!

Morgan, if you screw me
out of a clean fadeaway jumper,

you'll have to move
out of the house.

Hey, you pushed off.

And it's two points.
Check.

Practice your threes.

What are you
teaching this kid?

I'm teaching him
beware of reporters

coming up to you
in public parks.

Hey, use your legs.

Keep your hands straight
on the follow-through.

You can do this.

[Morgan]
Yeah, yeah.

[basketball bouncing]

[Hank] Why the fuck are you
haunting our investigation?

What are you after?

Jackie Rohr.

Over the years,
all of his informants

either go missing
or to the morgue.

I want to know what he's hiding,
and why.

You're like a fucking cicada,
you know that?

Jackie's been doing his shit
for 17 years,

only now you come up
out of the dirt?

We're in the middle of a big
and fragile case.

Go back to your hole
until we call you.

[Morgan]
Hey, Dad! Watch this!

[Hank]
Hey, that's a great shot

[Morgan]
I got a good coach.

Meantime,

stay away from Rachel Benham
and me.

Fucking Rohr.

He's proving the adage.

It's easier for two guys
to keep a secret

when one of 'em's
a corpse.

I'm not giving up, Hank.

Not till Jackie's in Walpole
getting his ass fucked.

[basketball bouncing]

All right,
we're tied.

Next bucket wins.

[Fields]
Evening, Decourcy.

I hope you don't mind me
dropping by.

I have a meeting
a few blocks away with...

members of the opposing teams.

[chuckles]

By that, I mean Archbishop Law
and Rabbi Blumberg.

Your wife was supposed
to be there,

but she canceled.

What's on your mind?

Andre Benjamin
came to see you.

And...

[sighs]

...well, there are a lot of
rampant rumors floating around

about improprieties
with women on my part.

Siobhan says that's true,
that's good enough for me.

I presumed you'd think me guilty
instead of innocent,

which is why I came
to talk to you.

These women are not
telling the truth.

They're out to get me.

So everybody around you
is lying?

Including my wife?

These allegations
are erroneous.

You didn't answer the question.
Are you calling my wife a liar?

You need to know that if you
pick a fight with her,

you're picking one
with me.

You take no responsibility
for your actions,

actions which can kill
the coalition.

I didn't warm up for
a three-rounder this evening,

but I'll rally.

You have no idea
the weight I bear

leading this coalition.

Oh, what a martyr.

You see...

you ain't from around here.

So you have no sense
of the history of violence

and hatred that
I am trying to erad--

Look, we're not going
to play these games.

I'm going to just be up-front
with you.

You keep talking shit
about my wife,

we're going to have
a fuckin' problem.

Is that you?

Who's asking?

Jackie Rohr. I know your brother
from the Ebb Tide.

I don't drink there.
He waters down the whiskey.

[laughs]

[Jackie]
Oh, my first time in here.

Mind if I join you?

Yeah, if you're buyin',

Sit your ass down.

All right.

So, what, you, uh...
you never been here before?

You a vet?

Yeah. First battalion,
third Marines.

I was in Da Nang in '65.

-You?
-Yeah.

26 Marines,
attached to the third in '66.

-No shit?
-Yeah.

All right, well, I got to buy
whatever sets you off.

Yeah. A beer's fine.

A shot of Jack
and I go back there.

I don't like it.

Neither would you.

Kahlua's my drink,
for whatever reason.

Kahlua? For real?

Yeah. Yeah.

Buddy, can I get a Kahlua?

What do you say?
A shot of Jack?

Memory of the girl
we left behind?

Ah...

Yeah, sure.
What the hell.

I got no pending
appointments.

And a shot of Jack.

They're all finks, every one
of them. They're rats!

[man on TV] John Gotti
supporters were left

with a bitter taste after
yesterday's guilty verdict.

But John Gotti himself
was left to grapple

with his new reality:

how to stay boss
from behind bars.

[man 2 on TV] I think John Gotti
will be facing some challenges

-to his authority as boss...
-How old am I?

What?

How old am I?

You mad about something?

What the hell was that tonight
with Reverend Fields?

You threatened him?

What do you think
you were trying to do?

The man stepped into my house.
What was I supposed to do?

I don't need my husband,
or any man,

to solve my problems for me.

If I let that happen,

I might as well stay home
and iron your shirts.

I handle my problems,
my way.

Siobhan, I was defending you.

Wha-- I don't need you
to do that. Ask me first.

Oh, my God.

Why are you just
standing there?

We got to put ice on that.
Come on.

Sit.

Hey, babe...

in high school,

we played a team
from Canarsie, right?

So this one time,

I hit a rope to center.

I stretched it into
a double-header.

Hard slide into second.

And then I stand up,
safe, right?

I'm safe.

So this big,
dumb second baseman,

he gets hot and he kicks me
in the balls.

So I just stood there.

Just let my guys
pile up on him.

Now, I never took my eyes off
of that second baseman, never.

And then he just...

he...he just faded.

That's very Sun Tzu.

Baby, that was Fields today.

He was that second baseman

trying to understand
why I wouldn't go down.

So this is about you.

Not me.

No.

No, no, Siobhan.
All the work that we've done,

all the work that you've done
for the coalition,

it's on the line.

I know.

Fields has to go,

and you're the only one
who can take him down.

You're full of shit.

Fuck you. I know a guy
worked at the Garden in '88.

We've all heard this wet dream
before, you fucking asshole.

This is the biggest bullshit
myth in Boston sports.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gretzky, what, he--

he ties the game
in the second period, right?

And then some guy
calls his brother

and has him flip the breaker?

Right, lights out
in the Garden, Game 4,

Stanley Cup Finals, really?

-That's right.
-This guy got a name?

It was, uh,

P-P-P-Patrick Farrell.

"P-P-P-P--"

Yeah. Yeah, Patrick Farrell.
Look him up.

The fog on the ice tripped the
breaker, you stuttering fuck.

A.C. was working overtime.
It was June.

It was fucking humidity
up the motherfucker.

There was no
Patrick fucking Farrell

protecting his money.

You look that up,
you shit stain.

-Hey, fuck you.
-Hey, fuck you!

Fuck this!

[all grunting]

Fucker!

Cocksucker! Aah!

[grunting]

[Jackie groans]

[Jackie]
Piece of cake.

Hold on a second.
Hold on.

[drops keys]

All right, there you go.

There you go.

Thank you.

[coughs]

So, show me.

Oh, yeah.

It's right over there,
on the whatchamacallit.

Oh, yeah.

It's...

it's from my M16.

Where's the rifle?

Sold it.

It was a...rough year.

[distant police sirens wail]

Without me,

my rifle's useless, and...

without my rifle,
I'm useless.

Right?

That's the...

That's the Rifleman's Creed.

[laughs]

[bottles clatter]

You all right?

Yeah.

Hey, you know, I brought back
an AK-47.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

[whispers]
I did too.

No shit?

Yeah, but it...

it went out the door.

[whistles]

Before the M16.

Hey, you know,

I've been thinking
about selling mine.

Who handled yours?

♪♪

This kid.

Real nice kid.

I, uh...

[exhales]

...boy, I-I forgot the name
of the village.

But, um, we passed
through there, right?

And they fed us.

All of us.

And then,
later that night,

the fucking NVA, they...

had chopped off
all their heads.

That was such a nice kid.

Semper-fuckin'-fi.

Right?

[sighs]

You know, we, uh...

We shouldn't
have gone in there.

[snorts]
Well...

We got them killed.

[Jackie]
I'm a piece of shit.

To the bone.
That's not a confession.

I'm just, uh,
stating a fact,

just so you can take that
into account.

I was with your brother
last night.

Got him drunk.

Got him talking about 'Nam
and the Corps.

Lied to him about me
being there.

I got three dead
bank guards...

executed with an AK-47

that your brother
brought back from the jungle.

The VA finds out about this,

and they're going
to cut him off.

No medical.

No pension.

He's going to be more fucked
than he already is.

With tears in my eyes,

I'm asking--

No, I'm begging you...

please.

Don't make me
do this to him.

Because I will do
what's got to be done.

'Cause I'm a piece of shit.

Fide nemini.

Trust no one.

For the record...

fuck you.

Call my lawyer.

I'll talk.

[inhales and exhales]

[Hank]
Is that remorse I see?

Let's make that deal.

-Mrs. Rohr.
-Yes?

You're the mother
of Benedetta Rohr?

What's this about?

Yes, hi.

I'm Simon Meredith.
I'm a truancy officer

with the Quincy School District.

Um, Department of Attendance
and Compliance.

Your daughter hasn't been
in school in three days.

Is she home?

Oh, sweet Jesus.

[indistinct PA announcement]

-[kids laughing]
-[phone ringing]

Hello?

[Jimmy, on phone]
Hey, Corie, don't hang up.

Hello?

Jimmy, what?

Uh, it's Ma.

I'm calling from the hospital
right now.

She-she's in rough shape.

And-- And she's asking
to see her granddaughters.

Jimmy, please, no.

Corie, they're talking about
cutting her feet off, okay?

She could die right there
on the table,

and all she wants is to see
the girls, you know?

Just-- Just one more time.

Before, before, you know?

That's horrible. I...

But I think them seeing you
messes them up.

I won't do it.

No, I-- Oh, Corie,

I swear on Ma's life

that I won't even
be in the same zip code as you

when you're in town,
all right?

Because you're a mom,

and you understand
that these...

that these feelings
that she's having.

You promise
you'll be gone?

I-I-I swear on Ma's life.

Jesus.

Okay, send the tickets.

All right.

I'll pay you back
when you get here, okay?

-Jimmy!
-Her feet, Corie.

I'll work it out.

Dr. Marino to Pathology.

Dr. Marino to Pathology.

Hey, Trudy!

Oh, thank God you're home.

Yeah, Jen?

Hey, a truancy officer
came to my house.

He said that Bennie hasn't
been at school for three days.

How's that puttin' light
on my day?

Well, Bennie and Gail
are best friends.

Were best friends.

My Gail doesn't pull
the kind of shit

that your daughter
does, Jenny.

That's why I told Gail
to stay away from Benedetta,

especially since she started
hanging out

with that scummy guy.

What scummy guy?

I don't know.

But that kid of yours,
bad influence.

And it's no wonder.

You throwing Jackie out.

Her drinking every day.
I mean, look at you.

All shocked and bewildered
that she's gone missing.

I mean, what'd you expect?

I just--
I want to talk to Gail.

Maybe you should have thrown
your Ma out too.

Clean up your whole house.

Why the hell
would you say that?

I got shit to do.

I wanted to meet with all of you
before Reverend Fields arrives,

because what I have to say
must be handled

with alacrity and care.

With or without
your blessing,

I'm making the allegations
against Revered Fields public.

[all gasp and murmur]

Siobhan, I know the position
you're in.

We just have to recognize

that if these charges
become headlines,

our coalition
will be adversely affected.

Not just from a funding
standpoint.

I've deposed each victim,

and these women are telling
God's truth.

Now, I've been going to church
since I was a baby.

And unless there's a bake sale,

Sunday school or a toy drive,

women are never included
in the church's decisions.

Isn't this a chance
for a deeply sexist,

male-dominated church
to rise up, to speak up,

and make positive change for
all believers in Jesus Christ?

[excited chatter]

Reverend Fields
will fight you on this.

An eye for an eye.

I've confronted him.

He refuses to resign.

If we can't convince him today
to step aside,

the court of public opinion
will decide.

[all murmur]

He did this to himself.

These are his sins,
not ours.

That's right.

We don't have to pay for them.

[door opens]

[Jackie]
So, you going to eat those eggs

or just play hockey with them?

What happened
to you?

Alcohol-induced haymaker.

What about you?

Hand of God.
Literally.

I was hungry
when I ordered them,

but the 20-minute lag just--
just killed my appetite.

Mind if I do?

Yeah. Yeah, go for it.

So, when are you meeting
with Hook's lawyer?

Tomorrow.

Make his balls sweat.

Oh, I intend to.

We are inches from blowing
this case wide open.

And then the fun begins.

[chuckles]

How's the Dupont?

Well, you know,

Jenny, she just...

I'm tryin' to give her space.

She just needs some time to,
you know, make peace.

With you?

You and your wife
ever go ten rounds?

[scoffs]
Ten.

I never last to the tenth.

I used to.

-[laughs]
-[cell phone rings]

This is Rohr.

She's gone.
Bennie's gone.

I-I can't find her,
Jackie.

All right, all right,
all right, all right. Slow down.

She's been out of school
for three days.

A truancy officer
came to the house.

Jackie, where's our daughter?

When was the last time
you saw her?

Uh...yesterday, maybe?

I don't know!
Oh, shit.

Ja...

Jackie, you've got
to find her, okay?

Yeah. Okay.

I'm going to find her.

You stay by the phone,
all right?

[dials]

Come fucking on.

Yeah, hey.
This is Rohr.

I need a BOLO

brown hair, 16 years old,

110 pounds, 5'2".

Name is...

Benedetta Rohr.

It's my daughter.

All right.

Jesus, Jackie,
what can I do?

You know, I'm hearing
a lot about

the top echelon
informant program.

How that's going awry.
and there's nobody watching.

-Not a good time, Michaela.
-Am I rattling the cage--?

Get fucking lost!

That tells me that I'm rattling
the right cage.

Gee, that ain't shit, huh?

No. It's less than shit.

Birds in the house, bro.

and every fucking moolie
