Yeah. No, me too.

A'ight. Thanks, Jason.

Rosen? Yeah.
Luann's in the clear.

- Otto... not so much.
- Why? What happened?

[Laughs] He
shattered Stahl's face.

Oh, I love that man. Oh!



He was tryin' to prove to the club
he wasn't gonna give anything up.

We're clear of the A.T.F.,
ladies and germs. [Men Laughing]

Yes! Well,

now that I have you in a
good mood, Jax's house...

Just some remodeling and
shit. You know, for the baby.

2,300 bucks? For painting?

Shit, I could have the
prospect do it for free.

The baby is coming home any day,
and I want the house to be perfect.

[Clay] Okay, okay, okay.

That's why I love
you. Clay, cops.

Everybody down! Everybody down!

[All Shouting]

Get off her! Hey! Hey! Hey!

- [Grunts]
- Don't move.

♪ For you ♪
Stay down.

Robert Munson, you're under
arrest for the murder of Brenan Hefner.

- Who?
- You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you...

in a court of law.

I'll call Rosen, Bobby.
You just sit tight.

- [Grunts] - Hey! Bitch! [Spits]

- [Grunts]
- [Man] Oh! Easy now! Hey!

Manners, darling.
Manners. [Gemma Groans]

♪♪ [Ends] [Groans]

They got Bobby at
Federal Plaza in Stockton.

A.T.F. says they got an
eyewitness saw Bobby kill Hefner.

- What? Jax, is that possible?
- From my end,
it was all clear.

Shit's a goddamn bluff. You
can't charge somebody on a bluff.

Whatever they got, it's real.

Who is the bastard witness?

We're a man short.

Where's Ope?

I called every number.
There's no answers.

Yeah.

- I tried Donna's phone too.
- Maybe Donna changed
the goddamn home phone.

- A'ight. I'll go get him.
- Well, you better find him.

Now, what the hell
does that mean?

Only two other guys
were witness to that hit.

One of them's in jail,
and the other one...

Hey!

Don't even say it, asshole!
You better curb your disrespect...

[All Shouting]

Everybody's nerves are
fried, but we can't unravel here!

Now Jax is gonna go get him,
and he's gonna bring him back here,

and we're gonna
find out what this is.

The only reason
my son isn't here...

is 'cause he doesn't
know what happened.

Exactly.

[Dog Barking In Distance]

[Doorbell Rings] Opie!

Ope! Donna!

Shit.

[Keys Rattling] [Woman]
You got one minute.

A.T.F. finds out, she'll
have a fit. Thanks, Candy.

- Sure thing.
- What the hell you doing
in here, man?

Stahl's detaining
me for questioning.

Jesus Christ.

You got any idea
what happened to Ope?

His whole family's
gone. I don't know.

Ask Hale. He's
Stahl's little errand boy.

[Scoffs] He's more than that.

Other night when we were in
here, he was face down in that shit.

[Scoffs] Idiot.

We gotta find Ope, man.

You hear anything,
you'll let me know?

Of course. A'ight.

Hey.

Thanks, man.

[Sighs] Shit.

Of course.

[Man Speaks Spanish]
[Man #2] Yeah, right there.

- Hey, how you doing?
- Hi.

[Engine Starts]

[Vehicle Departs]

[Children Chattering In Distance]
[Dog Barking In Distance]

He's taking to the
bottle much better.

How's his sleep apnea? The last two
nights, no alarms. He's almost through it.

We'll be able to take him
home? Probably tomorrow.

You hear that, baby
boy? You're going home.

Can I ask you a
practical question?

Who's gonna take
care of him? I will.

Who do you think?

Day and night? You ready
for that? I think I can handle it.

Why? I don't think
Jax is ready for this.

He has no idea what he's in for.

On that we agree.

His father was clueless too.

They figure it out.

Got no choice, right?

Yeah.

[Abel Gurgling]

You want kids?

Sure.

Right time, right person.

Getting close to finding that?

[Sighs] What are you
asking me, Gemma?

If you're in Jax's
life, you're in his life.

I got every right to know
how you feel about kids.

I don't think what
Jax and I have...

It's...

We haven't discussed it.
Well, maybe you should.

Big responsibilities
come with my son.

You better think about that.
Figure out if you can take them on.

I'm just spending time with
Jax. There is nothing to figure out.

If it becomes something
different, you'll be the first to know.

Well, good.

'Cause I don't mind
playing Mommy for a while.

But eventually, I'd
like to just sit back,

be Grandma.

They take Opie out in cuffs?

No. He was carrying
one of his kids.

What time was that? Headlights
woke us up. Must've been around 2:30.

There were three black sedans. The
whole family left, took bags with them.

Is he in trouble again?

I don't know. Thanks.

Just talked to our guy over at
San Joaquin Savings and Loan.

- He checked Opie's finances.
- And?

Somebody paid off a
huge chunk of his debt.

Federal wire transfer.

[Tig Sighs] Mortgage,
credit cards, car payments.

- This stays
with the three of us.
- Yeah, of course.

Go.

[Motorcycle Arriving]
Opie sold us out.

Or A.T.F. wants
us to think he did.

That bitch is smart.

Devious gash!

Come on in.

Oh, my God, Abel. Oh,
my God. He got so big.

[Laughs] Look at you.

Oh, God.

Hey. You got him?

I got him. Wow.

Oh, my God. He's so beautiful.

Yeah, he is. Hey.

He looks like Jax,
doesn't he? [Chuckles]

Oh.

Thank you so much. I know
you weren't supposed to do this.

It's okay.

Do you have a plan, Wendy?

I got into a sober living
house at Lincoln Village.

That's good. Yeah.

How's Jax? He's...
He's okay, I-I think.

God, I miss him so much.

Yeah, I can imagine.

God.

[Men Chattering In
Background] [Groans]

[Knock] Gemma?

Mary. Jesus Christ.
What are you doing here?

I was hoping you could tell me.

Got a call from the feds asking
me to pick up my grandkids...

from the Department of
Justice facility in Stockton.

Opie's kids are in a facility?

Apparently the whole family
is. Can't get ahold of Piney.

Thought you might shed some light on
why I'm schlepping my fat ass 75 miles.

[Motorcycle Approaching]

[Gemma] Let's find out.

What's Opie's mom doing here?

She's picking up her grandkids
from the Department of Justice facility.

Oh, my God.

Opie get picked up
on that Hefner shit?

Hey, Mary.

What the hell did
my kid do this time?

Nice to see you too.

[Jax] Feds picked him up in the
middle of the night. He go out in cuffs?

Neighbors say no.

Ope's debt's been cleared.

Federal wire transfers.

- It's a setup.
- Maybe.

Or he gave Bobby up.

Now he's gone
witness protection.

Why?

If he wasn't arrested,
what's the leverage?

Who knows how long they've
been chipping away at him, Jax?

Hell, A.T.F.? They could've gotten
to him while he was still in Chino.

That's paranoid shit.

Is it? I mean, is
it? [Lighter Flicks]

Opie's been a miserable
prick since he got out.

Maybe they've offered him a new,
debt-free life... just what Donna wanted.

Ope's not a rat. He did
five years for this club.

Maybe he doesn't
want to do 25 more.

I'm going to see Rosen
tomorrow. We'll get some clarity.

Give us a minute.

Of course.

[Door Closes]

You and I both love Opie.

I don't want to
believe this shit either.

But...

we gotta prepare ourselves
for a truth we may not like.

He'd never sell out the
club. And what if he did?

Then I'll kill him myself.

[Fluorescent Lights
Humming] [Door Opens]

Where's my family?
Down the hall.

My people packed a few of their
things, so they're very comfortable.

Justice uses this facility to transition
informants into witness protection.

So it's... What the...
Are you charging me?

No. Then you gotta cut me loose.

You need to stay here,
Opie, for your own safety.

For my own safety? Yeah.

You see, we have
an eyewitness...

who saw two men gun
down Brenan Hefner.

Bobby Munson was
positively identified.

[Over Speaker] Your I.D.
could take a little court time, but...

it'll happen.

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

You see, she didn't get the
eyes or the nose quite right.

That's why it fell
short of a positive I.D.

I want my lawyer.

I'm sure that SAMCRO knows
that you and your family are gone.

And lots of your neighbors saw you
get into our big, comfortable black sedan.

No cuffs.

And what with all
the inconvenience,

I figured the least
I could do was, uh,

pay off some of
those big bills of yours.

You crazy bitch.

You're setting me up as the rat.

Unfortunately, I think it's
gonna play out that way, yeah.

What the hell is she doing?

They'll know I wasn't the
witness. Mm. Eventually.

But, you see, the U.S.
Attorney won't release

the identity of the
witness until pretrial.

And that could take weeks. I
can only hold you for 48 hours.

Now what is going to happen...

when I put you and your
family back in Charming, hmm?

I tell the club the truth.
And maybe they believe you.

But maybe they don't.

Are you really willing to
risk the life of your family...

on the love that Clay
Morrow has for you?

What if this rat trap backfires?

Clay'll kill this poor
guy. Poor guy?

This scumbag just
killed a state official.

He spent five years
in jail for arson.

He is not a "poor guy."

Look, I get it. Okay?

They hurt you, and
you're pissed off.

Oh, please. Save
it, okay? Save it!

This is not personal, all right?

I can take a few knocks.
My God, it's part of my job.

But you know what?

If you can't detach yourself...

from your history
with these shitheads,

- well, then maybe you'd better
shuffle on back to Mayberry.
- Hey.

I know these guys!

What you are doing and
how you are doing it...

It is wrong. Someone's
gonna get hurt.

I'm sorry.

Okay? I'm...

I'm sorry that I snapped at you.

It's been a tough
couple days, and I just...

You're right.

I appreciate your
concern, David.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

Hey. Hey.

- You doing okay?
- I don't think he's hungry.

Um, someone's here to see you.

You do this? Mm-mmm.

She came on her own.

Thanks. [Tara] You're welcome.

Need me to sign that?

Hey. Hey. You left rehab?

No.

I'm moving into a sober
living house in Lincoln Village.

I have 64 days.

That's fantastic. Yeah.

You look great.

Thanks. [Chuckles]

So...

I was just hoping I could
see Abel before I go.

Yeah, of course. I think
that would be good. All right.

Come on.

Shit, Jax. Wait.

I saw him already today.
I'm sorry. I couldn't wait.

I'm sorry. It's all right.

You want to see
him again? I really do.

[Abel Gurgling]

Hey, buddy. It's okay.

I gotcha. I got him.

Hey, buddy. Hey. It's okay.

Okay. It's all right.

It's okay. Hey, baby.

Hey. I was just feeding him.

You want to eat something? Huh?

That's my boy.

You got someplace to stay?

Ramada.

I gotta stay away from all
my old friends, you know?

Yeah.

- [Jax] We changed the locks
at the house.
- Oh, yeah, I know.

The back door was open. I
just... I left my bags there, but...

Well, I'm not in there yet, so if
you want to stay until you check in...

What about Gemma?
Yeah, good point.

Ramada's probably safer. Mm-hmm.

Super sweet, huh?

Oh, my God.

I can't believe it.

Yeah. [Mutters]

[Whispering, Indistinct]

[June] You can
watch TV if you'd like,

and if you need anything, just
let Agent Henning know, all right?

Is she the girl who saw Bobby
kill the port commissioner?

[June] Yeah. It's
Eviqua Michaels.

We're transferring her to a
safe house until after the trial.

Then Eviqua Michaels
becomes Jane Doe.

See you later.
Deputy Chief Hale,

I've been instructed to escort you from
the building. What are you talking about?

Agent Stahl's request.

[Woman On P.A.] Social
Services, call Pediatrics.

Social Services,
call Pediatrics.

Little family reunion? How
long you been watching?

Since 1978.

She just wants to hold her kid.

You of all people
should get that.

You think she has a
right to hold that baby?

As much of a right as I do.

Look, Mom, I wasn't shooting
crank, but I bailed on that kid too.

I'm making up for that now.
She just wants the same chance.

Is she clean?

Yeah. Checking into a
halfway house next week.

Staying at the Ramada till then.

Her bags are at your house.
She might as well stay there.

Really?

Well, you said she's trying
to make up for her mistake.

I'm all about second chances.

No, you're not.

So anything new
on Ope and Bobby?

No, nothing.

I don't care what anybody says.

Opie didn't rat.

I know.

Thanks, Mom.

[Tires Screeching On TV]

Tell me what the
hell is going on.

- [Whispers] See if the kids
want some ice cream?
- Sure.

Is that okay with you? Yeah.

Hey, kids? Go with the lady.

Hey. [Snaps] Kenny.

Come on. Go with the lady, okay?
She's gonna get you some ice cream.

You recently... [Clears Throat]

paid off three months of back
mortgage on your house in cash.

Where did it come from?

You spent it. You fed your
kids on it. How was it earned?

I don't know. I didn't ask.

You know, Donna, your
family is falling apart.

I want to help you, but I... Don't
pretend you give a shit about my family.

We arrested Bobby
Elvis for murder.

An eyewitness I.D.'d
him... and this man.

Look familiar?

I don't think that Opie pulled
the trigger, but he was there.

- Is he going back to jail?
- Not yet, no.

But the U.S. Attorney hasn't
released the name of the witness.

And as far as
SAMCRO is concerned,

only one person saw Bobby
commit that murder... Opie.

That's why you're here...
For your own protection.

Clay and his crew think that
Opie has turned. Oh, God.

Do you have any idea
what these guys do to a rat?

No... Jax wouldn't let
anything happen to Opie.

They've known each
other since they were kids.

Well, I certainly hope that Jax has
enough pull to make that happen,

because I can only protect
him for one more day.

Without my help, this thing
goes one of two ways...

Opie is in prison, or he's dead.

[Door Opens] [Men Chattering]

Opie.

Are the kids okay?

Yeah. Yeah. Your
mom's coming to get 'em.

My mom?

[Opie Over Speaker] You
serious? A.T.F. spooked my family.

Mary's the only one
that's willing to come down.

The kids would be
better off in foster care.

Don't say that.

I'm sorry.

Stahl said the club
thinks you turned on them.

They hauled us in here to
make it look like we took a deal.

Bitch hung me out as a rat.

Hoped that she could scare
me into giving up something...

about a crime that I
knew nothing about.

They have a witness
who saw Bobby and you.

That's bullshit.

I didn't kill anyone.

They can give us a
chance to start over, Ope.

Shouldn't we look
at that for the kids?

Donna, witness
protection is a joke.

She tell you that most of
the guys go back to the life...

or end up dead?

Usually by their own hand
because they can't stand living a lie.

Is that what you want for me?

I want us to be a family.

'Cause getting in bed with
these people is gonna be...

the worst thing that ever
happened to our family.

You gotta trust me.

What are you gonna
do, Miss Donna?

You killed a state
official, Bobby.

The U.S. Attorney will
seek the death penalty.

I didn't kill anybody.
Anybody who says I did is lyin'.

And if you have anything else to
say, why don't you talk to my lawyer?

Well, if my witness
statement is a lie,

then maybe you should
hear all of it, hmm?

Yeah, I like a good story.

Hefner got spooked by
something that Opie did.

He turned back to you.

You jammed your gun in his
sternum and fired four shots.

Hefner fell.

You and Opie fled the balcony...

and met up downstairs
with Jax Teller.

Jax was lookout
and drove the car.

Great fiction.

Eyewitness fiction.

[Door Opens]

Where are the kids?

Cafeteria. They're finishing
dinner. Thanks for picking 'em up.

I don't know how much fun
they're gonna have with me.

They like your dogs.

One of them died.

Wanna tell me
what's going on here?

Uh, they-they think Opie
might be involved in a shooting.

Oh, sweetheart.

You're not in
lockdown for "might be."

This shit never ends.

He's gonna be back in jail.

He's your son. He's a criminal.

Just like his father.
Opie made his choice.

He was 16 when you bailed.

I took Opie with me...

to get away from all this shit.

He's the one who ran back
to his old man, the club.

His problems aren't mine.

If you have half a brain,

you will take these kids...

and move to another planet...

before their father
poisons them.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

Jax said it was
okay if I stayed here.

Yeah, it is.

Okay.

Sit down.

How much time you got?

Sixty-four days.

I'm not gonna make
any promises this time.

I'll just... I'll just
see what happens.

Abel comes home tomorrow.

I know.

He's a lucky kid.

He's got crazy, fierce
Grandma looking after him.

Yeah, he does.

I'm not seeking custody, Gemma.

I just went by there 'cause
I wanted to see him and...

And just say
sorry for what I did.

Amends.

Yeah.

[Sighs] Well,

I guess I... Guess
I owe you some.

Shit I did to you.

All a reaction to
him almost dying.

I know.

We all pulled through.

I guess we did.

[Sighs]

You still love Jax?

Oh. Sure, I-I guess.

No.

It's not a guess.

He's still your husband.
The father of your child.

Do you love him?

Yeah.

You want this
family back together?

I-I don't know if
I'm ready for that.

When you're ready,

you want this family back?

It's the only thing I want.

Abel needs his mom.

Jax needs his wife.

You stay clean, pull
your shit together,

I will do whatever I can
to help make that happen.

You get some sleep.

We got a big day tomorrow.

A shitload of stuff to get together
for his coming home party.

[Keys Rattle]

Night, baby.

[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

[Exhales]

You know that I'll be
picking you up again, Ope.

As soon as we put this case
together, you will be tried for murder.

I guess I'll see you then.

Going back to the
club is a mistake.

It puts you and your family
at risk. I can protect my family.

Do you believe that? Huh?

You need to start
thinking about your kids.

Donna, what kind of
mother are you gonna be?

The kind who doesn't
bail on her family.

Let's go.

Did you cover it? Yeah.

I got mikes and trackers in
his cell phone, bike and truck.

Good. Stay on him. I want
to know his every move.

I gotta keep this
shithead alive.

Clay, Ope left Stockton.

He wants to come in, tell us
what happened. That's good.

We all want that. Hey.

I need to know
he's gonna be safe,

despite all the shit
we think we know.

Ope's a member of this club.
He's gonna get his time. Safe room.

Yeah. Okay.

I gotta go see Rosen,
make sure Bobby's okay.

You tell Ope he comes in
when I get back, all right?

All right. All right.

Good-bye.

[Motorcycle Engine Starts]

U.S. Attorney won't disclose the name
of the witness because of security issues.

No ideas? I talked
to Bobby last night.

He says Stahl knows there was a
third man. She knows it was Jax.

Bobby said anyone who saw
him could never have I.D.'d Jax.

Only one other guy
knows that Jax was there.

That's my guess. Looks
like Opie Winston is turning.

[Clay] So why would the
feds cut Opie loose, huh?

Why would they let him come
and plead his innocence to the club?

Well, if I was gonna
cross-examine, I'd argue...

that Opie is a criminal and
he's lying to make a cushy deal.

He might need more evidence
to get witness protection.

You think they're
gonna wire him?

He gets Jax talking about the
alleged Hefner kill, it's a lock.

Jesus Christ.

Gonna make this
right, bro. Yeah.

Look, you trying to push me
off this thing that happened...

I know you're just trying
to... trying to watch my back.

Come on. They're all waiting.

[Engine Starts]

- [Groans]
- Piney, your boy's here.

[Piney Laughs]
How you doing, Son?

I'm good. I'm good.

Good to see you back here.
Welcome home. You okay?

- [Opie] Yeah.
- Check it all.

Ope.

Go on in.

[Chibs] Hold on. Phones, please.

[Cell Phones Beeping]

Piney. Thank you.

- Where's Tig?
- Be here in a minute.

[Sighs] Appreciate
you coming in, Ope.

- It says a lot.
- It says he's not a rat.

We got one member in jail,
and another in a wit-pro facility.

You can understand my worry.

Yeah, I know how this
looks... What Stahl has done.

She set me up to look
like a rat. It's all a lie.

She threatened me
with my own club.

I don't know who the hell the
witness is, but it sure as shit ain't me.

[Device Beeps]

She tried to turn Donna against me, offered
her that whole wit-pro bullshit dream.

But she turned it down.
She could've walked away.

Trusted me that if I came in here and
had the chance to tell you guys the truth,

that I could make this right.

[Device Beeps]

[Beeping Continues]

- Sorry.
- [Opie] I'm just saying that...

getting squeezed made me realize I
can't do this with one foot out the door.

I'm here. I'm in.

No more doubt. No more mistakes.

You're a good man, Ope.

Am I good with you,
Clay? The M.C.?

Yeah.

We're good.

Ah!

Good news, Opie. Great news.

Hey. I'm proud of you, Son.

Thanks, Pop.

[Jax] See? It's all good, bro.

[Chibs] All right, big fella.

Opie has turned on us.

This has got to happen, Clay.

Jax'll never be
