[Ray] Previously,
on Ray Donovan...

[Smitty]
Do you think about it?

You think about
what you did?

I shot him, he's dead.
What's the difference?

Got what he deserved.

- [electric sizzle]
- Aah!

Jesus, Pop!
Will you stop?

I taped every fuckin' thing

Jimmy ever said to me.

[Smitty] Daryll said that
you went crazy on that cop.

He said that you shot him
like 20 times.

[Ray] I shot him, he's dead.
What's the difference?

[Smitty] You don't feel bad?

You don't feel bad
for the families?

[Ray]
No, I don't feel bad.

He got what he deserved.

How 'bout
Lieutenant Radulovic?

Did he get
what he deserved?

Shot multiple times,

decapitated
with a fucking chainsaw

and dumped like trash.

[Perry] And Officer Clancy.
And Officer Bianchi.

They took my daughter.

Why? Why did they
take your daughter?

Because I knew
what they were doin'.

What were they doing?

Runnin' a kickback scam
through Arthur Kill prison.

- [Perry] Who was?
- The cops and a judge

named Scholl--IAB already
had an investigation...

a guy named Lake, but, uh...

guess you know
what happened to him.

Who killed Lake?

We makin' a deal or what?

[Perry]
Who killed Lake?

Radulovic.

Under orders
from Feratti.

Wait a minute...
so you're tellin' me

that the Mayor
of New York City

called a hit
on an IAB investigator?

That's what I just said.

Can you prove it?

No.

But what if I can
bring in Judge Scholl?
