Ray Donovan (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Rodef - full transcript

Ray makes preparations in case he is arrested. Meanwhile, Mickey's heist doesn't go quite as planned.

Previously On Ray Donovan

This is an all-cash business.

We could knock this place off
real easy.

Got security up the ass,
that guard's packing.

He wants me to do him
anytime I can.

Let's say
I needed to turn this off.

What would that be worth to you?

What if I wanted more than 5000?

Let's go to Ireland. I saved 40,000.
I'm not taking your money.

You're not a criminal. No stomach for it.
I got nothing left.

Terry. This is my son.
He's gonna be our muscle.



You shot him in the street. You don't
think this is gonna come back?

Someone shot him in the middle
of Hollywood, but we don't know who.

Because nobody saw it.
Marvin.

You know who did it?
Yeah. Daddy made me lie to the police.

I need you to get rid of Cookie Brown.
Arrest him or hurt him.

Hurt him?
He's gonna kill my daughter!

Mr. Brown is our new client.

Somebody might be shopping
a video

of whoever killed 'Lil Homie.
I'll pay whatever they want.

Footage like that'd be worth millions.
Find it.

I'm gonna bring down the president's
appointee for head of FBI.

She has to go, Ray.
Come after her or me, this goes viral.

You let that fuck record our fucking
private time together? You're finished.

Tommy?



Wanna tell me
why you paid $2 million to have

Sully kill your father?
You don't quit, do you?

Did he fuck you up
like he fucked up your brother?

Why are you still worried?

She prints what she knows,
we all go to prison.

Let's do this.

Yes, yes.

How y'all beautiful ladies doing?

Hey, Cook.
Beautiful ladies.

How you doing, buddy? Yeah.

Mr. Brown, over here!

Hey, Cook. Thank you.

Yeah.
He just arrived for the service.

Don't let him out of your sight.

He's going into a church.
What's he gonna do?

Did you find it?
Hey.

Nobody's heard anything
about a video of the murder.

I think it might just be a rumour.
Not interested in your opinion.

Just find the fucking video.

Okay, I'll check Stalkerazzi again.

How's Bridget doing?

She's all right.

All you need to do
is sign it over.

Are you sure this is the time?
Yeah, I'm sure.

How bad is it?

It's bad.
Do I need to close up shop?

Nothing's coming back to you.

You want a hug?

No.

Should I look for a new job?
Wouldn't hurt.

That don't sound so good.
Are you all right?

Yeah.

Just keeping the oxygen on low.

The fucking tanks didn't come.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.

This is a major goddamn fuck up.
Today's the day.

It's all set. Why didn't you take care
of your goddamn oxygen?

Christ, Mick.
It's a fucking mistake.

Calm down.
Calm down, calm down.

I'm so sorry, Mick.
Here. Drink that.

I'm so sorry.

All right. Let me think.

How much does that safe weigh?

Can three guys and a dolly move it?
Sure.

All right.

So, uh, we get the safe,

come back, grab you,

crack it on the road.

That can fucking work.

Daryll?

That truck you're renting,
does it have a lift?

The execution-style murders

occurred over 72 hours ago,

and still no suspects
have been arrested.

The L.A.P.D. have been tight-Upped
as to who they are investigating.

Mr. Brown, any comments, sir?

This is a tragedy.

The loss of two great talents.

We gotta do something in this
country about gun violence.

All right, let's go.

That was Cookie Brown,

clearly distraught in the wake
of these horrific events.

And while little is known
about the night in question,

the friends and family of these two
talented artists have found refuge...

How you doing, sweetheart?
Okay, Daddy.

Not going to school today?

I didn't feel like it today.

All right.

I found this in Conor's sock drawer.

In case you're interested.

We need to talk.

...Music we will now miss out on.

The YouTube sensation,
Marvin Gaye Washington,

hadn't yet even released
his first album.

That's for you.

What is this?

What does ABC stand for?

Abby, Bridget, Conor.
It's a property in Malibu.

You should hang on to it
as long as you can.

If you need the money, sell it.

Why would I suddenly need money?

Where you going, REY?

Maybe prison.

Why? What did you do?

Goddamn it.

Is it that priest? The one in the gym?
No.

Will you fucking tell me?

There's a woman.
When isn't there a woman?

She's a reporter. She's gonna
publish an article that says

I brought Sully Sullivan
out here.

And I paid him to kill Mickey.

Can't you stop her?
I could.

But I won't.

I don't want this.

Like Trousdale. Like everything.

You think you can buy me off.
I'm trying to take care of you

and the kids.
By killing their grandfather?

Don't worry about us, Ray.
We're taken care of.

You think I'm gonna let that cop
take care of my family?

At least he's trying.
He can take care of you while I'm away.

He can fuck you in my bed,
for all I care.

Dad!
But while I'm here,

he's gonna stay away
from my family.

It's fine, Conor. Go to your room.

You buying pot now?

Grandpa Mick gave them to me.
I knew you'd be mad.

Of course I'm mad.
He's giving you fucking drugs.

He wanted to apologise.
For what?

He feels bad about what happened.
He really cares about us.

He's a really good guy.
He gave me a car.

All you give me is clothes I don't like.
Watch your mouth.

He's a hero for the FBI,
and you won't let him tell anybody.

It's time to grow up, Con.
I need you to be here.

For your mom and your sister.

What are you talking about?

Just stay away from Mick.

He loves us.

Yeah? He loves you so mu--

Just shut up, Dad! Just shut up.

What'd you do to him?
Clean out your desk. You're finished.

Why? I did everything
you told me to do.

I'm tying up loose ends.
What do you mean?

Early retirement, full pension,
benefits for life,

but you need to leave
the building now.

This is a sad day for the bureau.

Yesterday, we lost one of our own.
Special Agent Thomas Volcheck.

He was suffering
from a serious depression,

one that he could not overcome.

We tried to get him help,
but our efforts were, sadly, too late.

Agent Volcheck was our best
and brightest.

And our hearts go out
to his lovely widow, Megan.

This tragedy is proof

that mental illness
does not discriminate.

Tommy wasn't depressed.

He was just a sweet boy.

A sweet boy.

- Thank you very much.
- Mr. Cochran...

This is Catherine Shaughnessy's
dog. Baby.

What?

Sully's girlfriend,

Catherine.

Where is she?
How should I know? Get off my boat.

She came out here with Sully,
didn't she?

Is she in witness protection?

Is she dead?

Did you kill her, Frank?

No.

Sully did.
Why?

How the fuck do I know?
He was a psycho.

Who killed Sully Sullivan?

Mickey Donovan.
Now, get off my fucking boat.

Ray, I need to see you.

And don't fucking ignore me.
It's important.

Please.

Kate McPherson's back in L.A.

The little charade that you and Ray
arranged obviously didn't work.

She's still asking questions.
Any question that leads back to me

will eventually lead to you.
Understand that?

Completely.
Woman has to be stopped.

I agree.
But why are you coming to me?

You're a powerful man. You ought
to be able to do something.

Ray's got my hands tied.

HOW?

He caught me
in a compromising position.

Ray's clever.

You're the only person
in the world that he listens to.

Yes, I am. I'm his father, in a way,
the one that cares about him.

I'll set him straight.

Ezra, thank you for being
a reasonable man.

You understand that Ray
can't know

I'm connected to anything
that might happen.

He won't.

And I look forward to having
a very powerful friend

in Washington.

Of course, Ezra. You will.

Hi, Grandpa.
Oh...

What the fuck are you doing here?

Well, Morn found the joints and I
think Dad's going away somewhere.

What do you want me
to do about it?

I just thought--
I'm goddamn disappointed in you.

You don't just show up here.

You said to come anytime.
Well, this ain't the time.

Dad's right, you are an asshole.

You ain't going nowhere.

I got business to do tonight,

and you're gonna sit tight
till I get back, you understand?

Don't be upset.

I lost my temper.

Sit down.

You all right?

Yeah, Grandpa, I'm fine.

All right, good. Listen.

I got business to take care of.
I need you to help me out. Stay here.

You do that for me, I'll tell you
all about it when I get back.

You gonna rob someplace,
Grandpa?

Sit back. Put your feet up.

There's magazines under the bed.

You get bored,

knock on the door
directly across the hall.

You nervous?
No.

Yeah, well, I am.

Then what are you doing here?
Mick needs me.

Mickey's robbed a lot of banks.

That was a long time ago.

Yeah, well, that scam he pulled
with you in Mexico, it worked, didn't it?

Hello?
What am I paying you for?

To keep an eye on your father.
He gave my kid drugs.

I want him off the street, now.
That wasn't the deal.

I don't fucking care.
You get it done, you understand me?

Look, I'll try to get some shit on him,
but he's been behaving himself.

He goes to work, comes home.
Figure it out, asshole.

Or I call your boss
and tell him you're on the take.

Who were you talking to?

My wife.

Raymond, do you know about
the Jewish principle of the rodef?

No, I don't.

The rodef is someone
who's pursuing another,

trying to destroy them.

They must be warned to stop.

But if the rodef fails
to heed that warning,

then according to Jewish law,
the rodef should be killed.

I don't have time for this.
Kate's the rodef, Raymond.

She's trying to destroy us.

Everything you and I have built.

She's been warned.
She has to be stopped.

Listen to me, Ezra.

Your precious RGOCC.

What about it?
There's a body buried there.

Catholic priest.

You buried a Catholic priest
at a Jewish hospital?

Ruth's hospital? Aah...

You cursed me, Raymond.

You cursed Ruth's legacy.

Anything happens
to Kate McPherson,

that body comes up.

- Yeah, Lena?
- I just got a call

from my plant at Stalkerazzi.

Somebody's got a video
of the Re-Kon shooting.

Marty's gonna set up a meeting
with them.

Good.
Ray, Brown's waiting for you at Pink's.

All right. Thanks.

Yo, Cook! What you want?

I want the Rosie O'Donnell
with fries.

I got the video.
Oh! My man.

Hey, let's go, right now.

Got the million dollars right here.
You can't go.

It's my money, ain't it?

You can't be seen anywhere
near that video.

Why not? You think it's gonna
incriminate me? For what?

I'm just a concerned citizen.

Hey, get Omar in here. We going.
You're not going.

You told me I work for you now.
Let me do my job.

You gotta trust me, Cookie.

Done.

But as soon as you get it,
you bring it straight to me.

Right.

You want something to eat, Ray?

No, I'm good.

What are we following
this guy for?

The fuck you doing?
He ran a red light.

Who gives a shit?
What's wrong with you?

Licence, registration,
proof of insurance.

What the fuck going on?
You ran a red light.

What?
We didn't run no goddamn red light.

Licence and registration.
You look real nervous.

You okay?
Shut up and step out.

- Jim, what are you doing?
- What I got to step out for?

Because I'm a black man
riding in a $235,000 car?

You heard. Get the fuck out of the car.
Jim. Can I speak to you?

Yeah, Jim. Go talk to your partner.
Y'all figure this shit out.

Get the fuck out of the car
like I told you!

I'm not fucking
getting out of this car!

Hey, hey, yo! Put your hands
where the man can see them.

Now, my brother,
you know this is some bullshit.

You're good.
Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah. I know we're good,
motherfucker.

What the fuck was that?
Nothing.

What's in your pocket?
What are you talking about?

I saw you reach in your pocket
when you pulled him over.

Abby's boyfriend
just pulled over Cookie Brown

and then let him go.
Fuck.

Boss, Lena says
you're giving away property?

Signing deeds?
Not now, Avi.

What's going on?
You get a pay cheque?

Just cash it,
stop asking me fucking questions.

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

You go too. We're closing.

You sure, hon?
You know you liked it last time.

Not tonight.
I get married tomorrow.

I need sperm to be strong
for wedding night.

Besides, last time you chafed me.

I never chafed nobody
in my fucking life.

Come on, let's go.
Come on, Boris.

If you're getting married tomorrow night,
tonight's your bachelor party.

Yeah? I'll give you a discount.

Thanks for being here, Terry.

Means a lot to me.

I'm here because I got no choice.

And Why'd you get Daryll
mixed up in this?

Really good, huh? Son of bitch.

All right.

Let's go.

What?

So where's the fucking safe?

It was right here.

It's got to be here somewhere.

Here it is.

I told you.

We gotta lift that?
That's what you're here for.

What the fuck took so long?
Keep your fucking voice down. Daryll.

Grab the dolly.
Let's get this safe the hell out of here.

Anyone comes along,
flash the badge. Get rid of them.

I know why I'm here.

You have a lot of crazy shit.

My dad made that for me.

Was he at camp?

No. He was in Alcatraz at the time.

Did he escape?

Nobody escapes the Rock, kid.

- Here you go, Shorty.
- There you are.

Where you been?

Supposed to be here yesterday.
I'm almost out.

I know, I know.

Kid, could you bring
one of those over?

Sure.

Here, hook it on for me.

Yeah, turn it all the way up.

Oh, yeah. That's the stuff.

Are you sick?

I inhaled a lot of Agent Orange
in Vietnam.

Are you gonna die?

Yeah, I think so.

What's with Marty?
Am I going over there or not?

Nobody's shown up yet.
Fuck. Check again.

You have someone in your office.

I'm going home.

Should have stayed there.

You didn't scare me off.
I have my story.

Congratulations.

Maybe you'll win another Pulitzer.

You brought Sully out here.
He killed a lot of people.

Aren't you responsible for that?
I don't know, Kate.

I'm just fucking tired.

No, Ray, you're sick.

You need help.

What do you want?

I don't know.

Maybe I thought
you'd beg me not to do it.

I'm sorry, Ray.

What are you sorry for?

You're just doing your job.

One, two, three.

Go, go, go!

Move it forward.
All right, all right.

Watch your feet.
It's all in the angle, it's all in the angle.

I got it from over here.

This is for you. This is for Avi.

What is this, severance?
I'm out of a job?

No, I don't want this.
I don't want this. I just--

I wanna keep working, same as Avi.

Take it, Lena.
I don't know what's going on.

But you won't tell me,
and you won't tell Avi. So fuck you.

I don't need money. I'll be fine.

You'll be fine? How many girlfriends
have you beaten up?

How many times
I had to bail you out?

Take the fucking money.

What? Stalkerazzi. It's on.

All right, thank you.

Ha-ha-ha!
I got one for you.

How many Vietnam vets does it take
to screw in a light bulb?

I don't know. How many?
You weren't there, man!

Oh, I feel dizzy.

Why don't you lay down
in Mick's bed?

I might have bed bugs,
and I don't wanna get yelled at.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Hello! Hello!

- Jesus fucking Christ.
- Help!

I'm locked up in here!

In here!
Here.

GO shut him up.
Don't give me no fucking orders.

I'm in here! Anyone! Help!

Fucking morons are still here?

Shut your mouth.

Armoured truck came this morning.
What?

You made big mistake.
Bullshit.

You do pickups on Thursdays.
We changed company.

They come early.

You're lying to me.
You will find out.

Yeah.
How much would it be worth to you

if I could put your father away tonight?

You tell me.

A hundred grand.
For that much, it'd better stick.

I'm talking felony, 20 years.

Do it.

Ray. I was getting ready to call you.
Sure you were.

Where's the video, Marty?
I'm getting it, but...

But what?
Well, now they want 2 million.

Now, Ray, look, I saw it.

It's worth it.
Where are they?

I'm not sure. They're supposed
to contact me in the next 30 minutes.

You're a fucking liar, Marty.

Ray? Don't start any shit
in my place of business.

Get ready to call someone.

Troy, stand your ground.

You know what I did
to Chip, right?

Is he worth it?

Fuck you.

I want my $2000.

He means 20,000.

How many copies
of this did you make?

We didn't make any copies.

I didn't ask you. I asked him.

None, I swear.

Come on, come on, come on, man.
What's taking this dude so long?

Relax, kid.

What you bring him in for?
He's not family.

What was I supposed to do?
I still got this ankle bracelet on.

You're so worried about him,
go check.

Where is he?

Your friend?

He took the keys. He fucked you.

What?

Son of a...

What's going on in there?
I'm locked in!

Where's Ronald?

He fucked us over!

Get the fuck out of here, Mick!

Get out of here.

Terry.

Terry.

Drive.

Where's Terry?
Just drive, son.

Daddy?

Talk to me, Ray Donovan.

Did you get it?
Yeah.

Well, when am I gonna see it?
Right now.

Where can I meet you?
My house.

Half an hour.

I'll go get Shorty.
Hurry the fuck up, Pop.

We got cops up our ass.
Be right back.

Conor?

Conor!

Grandpa.

What the fuck?

Con!

You all right, huh? You all right?

I think it's broken.

Here. Let's get you up.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go, come on.
Jesus help me.

What the fuck happened?
I think Shorty blew.

Oh, damn, Shorty.

I think I killed him.
You didn't kill no one. Keep moving.

Con?
Dad? I'm at Grandpa's.

What?
There was an explosion,

and I think I broke my arm.
Jesus Christ.

Stay there, Con. I'm coming.
Okay.

What did he say? He's coming?
He's on his way.

Thank you.

How is your mother?

She is good. Good.

I'm worried about Ray.

Me too.
You're a good friend to him.

When he lets me.

Avi, are you an observant Jew?

I try.

Have you ever heard
of the law of the rodef?

Abby.

I couldn't do it.

Yeah, it's a 305, captain.

What about there?
Right there.

Hey, Conor. What happened?

You okay?

It's probably just a hairline fracture.
We need an x-ray to be sure.

Where you taking him?
County.

He'll be there all night.
I'll take him to Cedars.

Come on, Conor.
Let me wrap it.

I'll go do it in the ambulance.

Come with me.

Just watch your step over here.
We got him right here.

Just hop on
into the ambulance there.

How fast do you think he went?

It was instant. I'm sorry.

Thank God for that, anyway.

You almost killed your grandson.
You happy now?

He's tougher than you think,
but we got bigger problems.

Terry needs some help.

The fuck are you talking about?

He's gonna need a lawyer.
We pulled a little job.

Make sure he keeps his mouth shut.
You dragged him into your shit?

He begged me to come in on it.
He begged me.

You're a fucking liar.
Where is he?

Cops probably got him by now.

You need to hook him up with Ezra,
it's serious. Armed robbery.

- Hey, hey!
- I'll fucking kill you!

You hear me? I'll fucking kill you!
Get off! Get off him!

You okay, sir?
Thank you, officer.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

Hey. You need
to fucking calm down.

Sorry.
You hear me?

Yeah.

Don't fucking move.

- I'll fucking kill you! You hear me?
- Hey!

Don't fucking go near him!
I'll kill you!

Get him the fuck away from me!

No! Please, you don't understand.
I gotta take care of my kid. Oh, fuck.

Conor! Conor!

It's all right. Just go with them.

It's all right, Con. It's all right.

Fuck.

I'm here waiting, motherfucker.
Where are you?

I need to see that video, Ray.

I'm his grandfather.
I'll take care of it.

You okay?
Yeah. Get him out of here.

New tune, isn't it?

I beg your pardon?

It's a new tune.

Oh, I didn't hear you.
Yes, it just came in.

Would be nice to dance to.

It is.

What's on the other side?

Well, it's another new one.

Would you mind playing it for me?

No. This way...
