Sons of Anarchy (2008–2014): Season 1, Episode 13 - The Revelator - full transcript
After a tragedy hits the club, the bonds of brotherhood are called into question and Jax must take a stand.
♪♪
Hey, Mary.
Where is he?
Outside... with the kids.
It's good you're here, Mary.
Yeah.
- How are they doin'?
- She's been crying all morning.
Kenny still doesn't get it.
Boys.
Anything you need... I know.
You want me to stick around?
No.
I'm okay.
She knew.
She knew I was gonna
bring on something like this.
- Ope, you didn't bring this.
- A banger shot my wife.
I had nothing to do with that?
Can I help?
No.
You were upset last night.
Was that our mistake?
Oh, Jesus.
And Jax?
He knows what
everybody else knows.
Donna's death was
Niner retaliation.
Motherless children.
They make people do
drastic things. This is bad.
You think I don't know that?
You think I wanted this?
You feel all that, baby.
You feel it here.
That's right.
You walk out that door,
you be the man they
all need you to be.
Oh, Jesus.
Here you go.
What's this? Got
a call from Lodi.
A black Rover was jacked
from a sports bar last night.
Take Fain, see if
anybody saw anything.
We both know who
was driving that S.U.V.
We got no positive I.D.
This relationship
you have with Clay...
I don't like it,
but I get it.
You make a deal with
the devil to keep the peace.
But look at this.
Look at what we let happen.
An innocent woman killed.
I didn't let that happen.
Yeah, you're right. It's on me.
What was I supposed to do?
Roll over and feed SAMCRO
classified information?
I get the "rock and the hard
place" this all took you to.
Sorry this guilt comes down
on you. Well, then, help me.
For once. Please.
Just help me...
serve justice to these guys.
I should be fishin' somewhere.
Or readin' a book half buzzed
on vodka and lemonade.
And I'm still here
in this suit of mine...
because I've got my own rock
and hard place I'm livin' between.
I ain't got much
more of a run in me.
A few years, maybe.
Need something to leave
Della and my half-smart kids.
I'm sorry, son.
Right.
Hey... Hey. Without a witness,
you'll never put
this crime on Clay.
But I doubt Jax would be party
to anything that would hurt Opie.
Maybe... we let the outlaws
serve up their own justice.

Hey.
Is he okay? I can't
get him to stop.
He's fed. I changed
him. Where's Gemma?
- On her way.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
Come on. Huh?
Come on. What's
all that fuss about?
Huh?
Here you go.
Come on. Come on.
Hey.
You're all right,
little dude. Yeah.
You're all right.
Can't find the chapter
on ex-junkie moms.
Don't think our pages have
been written yet, sweetheart.
What happened
last night with us...
It was a hard night, Wendy.
That all it was?
God, I want this, Jax.
He's your son. You have him.
No, not just him.
We've done our dance, Wendy.
Yeah, but never like this.
Not with him.
Could be different.
We've been through
way too much shit.
I just want another chance.
I mean, this little guy at least
deserves that try, you know.
Put together some time.
All right?
See where it goes. Okay.
I will.
I'm gonna make
this work, Jax. Okay?
All clear.
How is he?
I don't know.
How do you think he is?
There's no viewing.
Funeral's tomorrow.
Well, let's get
people down for this.
I want a good show of support.
Happy's already in town.
I'll start making some calls.
I gotta take
responsibility for this.
I was the one that pushed
for that deal with the Mayans.
I knew there was
gonna be some kind of...
Niner blowback, but...
I never thought it would
reach this far, go this way.
We all voted yes
on that Mayan deal.
Nobody seen this
comin'. That's right.
Yeah, but it happened.
So how do we handle it?
The Niners are
gonna be dealt with.
But right now, let's just walk
through this, be there for Ope.
We help Ope by
settling the score.
We track down Laroy and put
a bullet in that nigger's head.
Now, what are you
lookin' at him for?
I'm the one talkin' to
you. I know, brother.
I know you're hurtin'. You
think you're tryin' to help, but...
Don't you tell me
what I'm thinkin'!
You know, if this
happened to your family,
there'd be six charters
halfway to Oakland.
- This did happen to my family.
- No, it didn't!
The Niners came gunnin' for my
son. They killed my daughter-in-law.
You got that? Huh? You got
that kind of hole in your family?
I got it.
Where are you goin'?
Look, man.
Nobody wants to even
this out more than me.
Let's just bury Donna, catch our breath,
and then we'll do what needs to be done.
Yeah. Let's, uh...
Let's do that, huh?
- Hey, prospect.
- Huh?
Keep an eye on the old man.
Where is he going?
I don't know. That's
why you're following him.
Right.
Excuse me.
Can I have a minute?
Yeah, sure.
I heard about what
happened to Donna.
God. I'm so sorry. Thanks.
Anybody know what happened?
No.
Look, I know you're busy.
I just wanted to make
sure you were all right.
Mmm, I appreciate that.
I'm sorry about last
night. I... It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
Nothing is okay.
Like, the last few weeks, I...
I tried to follow your lead.
You know, find some kind of...
compartment to
put all this stuff in.
But I just... I...
I can't. I don't... sleep.
I'm more scared
now than I ever was.
I'm scared of getting caught.
I'm scared of not getting caught.
We got away with murder.
What does that make me?
A survivor.
I think you're a good man...
with a big heart.
I believe you try to do as
much good as you can, but...
you live a life I don't think
I'll ever really understand.
I called Chicago
Presbyterian today,
and they said
they'd take me back.
And I think it's
the best choice.
Don't you get tired of it?
Running?
I'm not running. I'm-I'm
just being realistic, Jax.
Call it whatever you want.
Your life is a series
of hit-and-runs.
The minute someone
makes you feel uncomfortable,
tests your loyalty, little Tara
packs her bags and hits the road.
Well, I guess you got what
you wanted from me, right?
Used me to do your dirty work.
That's not fair! Not fair?
You wanna know how many women
I've slept with over the last 10 years?
Don't do this... Hundreds!
Maybe more, I don't know.
I barely see their faces.
I married Wendy
because I was lonely.
Because I got tired of
the endless disconnect.
It was just a sad time-out.
Because when I'm inside
someone, there's only one face I see.
When you came home, it was
like some kind of sign to me.
Like my past coming around giving
me another shot to do this different.
Better.
And now that chance is
running back to Chicago.
You take care, Doc.
♪♪
Hey, you think I
could borrow your car?
Need more wipes. Yeah.
My wallet's over there.
Just take what you need.
That Jax's stuff?
Well, I figure I'd
better unpack for him,
or this shit'll be
sittin' in the garage...
for the next three months. Wow.
You're, like, Dr. Jekyll
and Donna Reed.
You and Jax...
How's that comin'?
He has his doubts
about me comin' back.
We all do.
Well, I'm gonna convince him.
Gonna be the girl he fell in love with.
Good for you.
Thanks.
All right, I'll be back.
Oh!
Boy, some shit never changes.

What's goin' on? I wanted to
give you this news in person.
Well, that don't
sound good. It's not.
The U.S. Attorney is releasing
the details on the witness at 5:00.
5:01, A.T.F. is
presenting their case...
against Opie Winston
for Hefner's murder.
Bring him in for a lineup.
From what the prosecution's shared,
he's probably not goin' back home.
Jesus Christ. So what
do we know, Rosen?
There's an eyewitness.
Probably a resident.
They offered wit pro, which
means he's in lockdown.
Opie buries his wife tomorrow.
I'll drag my feet.
See that they don't bring
him in too early. Sorry.
Have my office call
you about my retainer?
Sure. Thanks.
G, Dog, go.
All right.
Their whole case against
Bobby and Opie is that witness.
- Without him,
they got nothin'.
- So we gotta get to him.
Kill him? He's a rat.
Rats deserve to
die. End of story.
"Wit pro" means safe house.
Twenty-four hour protection.
That's a dead
end. That can't be.
Opie goes back to prison,
what happens to his kids?
What, the state's gonna
give 'em to Piney or Mary?
They're gonna end
up in the system.
Let's not forget
Bobby. He got I.D.'d...
'cause he had to clean
up after Ope's mistake.
We gotta do this
before the funeral.
Ope's family can't
take another hit. Agreed.
Right. Yeah.
Maybe Trammel can help.
If the safe house is in San Joaquin,
he's probably got sheriffs on him.
Call Happy.
- I'm sure one of his smiley face
tats is for a dead witness.
- I'm on it.
- Yeah.
- Jax. Hey, man, I got,
like, a serious problem.
- I followed Piney into Oakland.
- What the hell is
he doin' in Oakland?
It looks like he's goin' into a bar,
but there are Niner tags everywhere.
Jesus Christ. Piney
went lookin' for Laroy.
Oh, goddamn it! Crazy old kook.
- Where are you?
- 38th and Allendale.
All right, watch his
back. We're on our way.
Let's go get him.
Get him out of there!
We'll deal with
the Niners later.
Let's go find
Trammel. All right.
- Glad you could join me.
- Hey.
I was just, you know, comin' down
to... see what you were doing and stuff.
You need to, uh,
brush up on your stealth skills.
You did everything but wave
at me when you were following.
I did wave at you, actually.
I was gettin' a little lost
comin' off the 580 there,
hopin' you'd slow down.
Listen, if you're comin',
let's go get this party
started, huh? Okay.
I was thinkin' we could not do
that and just hang out here for a bit.
Now, I don't need those guys.
I know what I gotta do.
Shit.
♪♪
If you're lookin' for the assisted
livin' home, it's two blocks south.
Oh, no, sweetheart.
I got all the assistance I need.
Sister. Cracker.
Hmm.
What kind of shit is this?
What business you got here?
I'm just lookin' for a friend.
You ain't got no friends here.
Hey, hey! Okay. Whoa,
whoa, whoa! Okay.
Where's Laroy?
Want to get yourself
killed, old man?
Well, I'm ready for that.
Are you?
Yeah, the feds put us on some
safe houses. All depends on the case.
What's this about? We
need to locate someone,
see how committed
they are to what they saw.
Jesus Christ, Clay.
You want me to hand over
a federal witness? No, no.
We just wanna talk
to him, Trammel.
How goddamn stupid do I look?
Man, I don't care how
thick the envelope is.
That... No. You
don't understand.
I ain't offerin' you money.
When this witness
fingers Opie and Bobby,
A.T.F. comes after us with RICO.
Aw, shit. Yeah, man.
That means all of us, and
everybody attached to us, goes down.
You do savvy that,
my not stupid friend?
Jesus Christ.
We'll have the name of
that witness this afternoon.
They're not gonna use a name.
I'm gonna need a case number.
Case number?
Where the hell are we
supposed to find that intel?
Top of Charming's food chain.
We got a problem.
Well, then safety's
off. Let's go. Mm-hmm.
Shit.
Crazy old man.
This doesn't involve you, Jax.
One of these... assholes...
killed Donna, and I'm
gonna make that right.
What the hell is
he talkin' about?
I get him to put
down the revolver,
you promise we
walk out of here alive?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Put down the gun,
Piney. I ain't leavin'...
till the nigger that
killed Donna is dead!
All right?
- Shithead!
- Easy.
Noise we made at the Mayan gun
sale is about how pissed off we are.
But if we wanted your
cracker asses dead...
Someone last night in a gangster
S.U.V. gunned down my daughter.
Now, that smells just
like nigger revenge to me.
Nigger, nigger,
nigger, nigger, nigger.
Old fat bastard here
says nigger one more time,
and that "walking out
alive" deal we talked about...
Off the goddamn table.
Someone went
after one of my guys.
Killed his wife by mistake.
Wasn't us.
So this old fat bastard...
is supposed to take
your word for it...
because you're an
honorable and a black man?
Shut up!
Your trouble with us...
You work that out of your system.
Or does this beef keep growin'?
But you keep talking
about beefs... Piney!
Let me handle this,
or I will kill you myself!
Our business issues...
still need to be worked out.
But if my need to hurt Sam Crow took
me to Charming, had me killin' women,
do you think we'd
be sittin' here talkin'?
I'm tellin' you the truth.
Niners didn't kill
your daughter.
I suggest you boys find
your way back home quickly.
Clay. How'd you get in here?
I told the girl at the gate
we were here to fix your cars.
Guess we look like the help.
What's this about?
This is a great-lookin'
horse, man.
I assume you got that, uh,
special delivery
package I sent ya.
Yeah. I got it.
You made your point.
I reneged on our deal.
That knife...
It's still got your
prints all over it.
The nutless clown,
raped your daughter...
Well, he's buried
in Macon Woods.
Dead body, murder
weapon, motive.
It's the three things
a guy needs...
for a homicide
conviction. Jesus Christ.
You're insane. Well,
I assure you, Elliott,
I'm saner than I've ever been.
I need your help,
Elliott, and, uh,
if you refuse,
I'm gonna turn all three of
those items over to Unser.
And the only thing
you'll be ridin'...
is a big black dude named Jo Jo.
So what do you want?
I assume you got friends
in the U.S. Attorney's office.
Maybe, uh, a couple of
judges you've played golf with.
Hey.
Where are we at
with Donna's murder?
Uh, nowhere.
No leads? Suspicions?
No. Sorry.
Come with me.
Gives us some privacy.
For what?
I know how close
you and Opie are.
I remember you and him in high
school. You were inseparable.
This is feelin' a little gay.
I knew Stahl was
setting Opie up as a rat.
She wired his truck.
I think Clay found that wire,
thought Opie was
working with the feds,
and then tried to
have him killed.
Donna was a mistake.
Why are you tellin' me this
shit? You think I'll give up Clay?
We ended up on opposing
teams, you and me.
Don't like each
other all that much.
But seeing an innocent
woman gunned down,
two little kids...
with no mom...
Man, I think that falls on the wrong
side of the fence for both of us.
Thank you.
You got something you wanna say?
Donna Winston was
murdered last night.
What are you talkin' about?
She was gunned down.
Brutal.
Who the hell would
wanna kill Opie's wife?
Oh, well, you
see, it was a, um...
It was a mistake.
The killer thought that
he was killing Opie.
Who went after Opie?
I made Clay believe that...
Opie was the witness
who fingered you.
But it was a lie.
I set him up.
Why are you tellin' me this?
We'll be charging Opie
with Hefner's murder.
Pick him up after
the funeral tomorrow.
U.S. Attorney will
seek the death penalty...
for both of you.
I guess I'm feeling guilty
about creating orphans.
Thanks for listening.
Beautiful animal, huh?
Yeah.
Can I tell you something?
Well, if it involves you and
a horse, I'd rather not hear it.
Yesterday...
Yesterday, at the
warehouse, Opie, he, uh,
he saved me from
gettin' my head blown off.
And then I, uh, had
a clear shot at him.
And I couldn't take it.
You know,
shootin' through the back
of that window in the truck...
I was afraid.
I was afraid if I saw his face,
I couldn't pull the trigger.
I didn't know, Clay,
that it was Donna...
till it was done.
I depend on you
so much for that shit,
sometimes I forget
the weight of it.
This thing with Ope,
all that means is...
you got love for your brothers.
Donna, it's... it's awful shit.
Awful.
We're gonna get past this.
Yeah. All right.
Case number.
What are you gonna
do with that information?
What'd you tell
your judge buddy?
That a councilman
wanted the information...
because he didn't want
safe houses in his district.
Good. Very good.
What about that knife?
It's still our secret. Don't
worry. We'll keep it safe for you.
I called Happy on the prepay.
He had an alarming amount of
knowledge about safe houses and witnesses.
Of course he did.
He said there's usually a sheriff
or two outside, A.T.F. agent inside.
Mostly rookies who
get stuck babysitting.
He thinks it'll take
three guys. All right.
Me, Chibs, Happy.
You okay to do this?
Oh, yeah. I need to.
All right.
Give Trammel the case number.
Tell him to call us with the location.
Now, I want a
flawless plan. All right?
Take out the witness. Nobody
else gets hurt. Okay. No mistakes.
Where is he?
Well, he's not back yet. Why?
What's the matter, Jackson?
I got some information on Donna.
What information?
Tell Clay I'm in the chapel.

He knows. What?
Jackson knows
something about Donna.
He doesn't know shit.
Listen to me. He
knows everything.
This was in one of his boxes.
It's what he found in
storage when Abel was born.
He wrote it all down... all his
pathetic hopes and dreams.
This is a book of
failures and fixes.
John is speaking to him from the
goddamn grave. You're being hysterical.
I told you to nail Jax
down, bring him closer!
This is a bunch of
words. It's a bunch of shit!
It means everything to my Jax!
I know my son.
He is restless, just
like his old man.
Always lookin' for something
more, the reasons why.
This shit is gonna send
him on a destiny run.
Readin' those secrets, finding
out about the Donna mistake.
What happened to John...
I cannot do that
again, not with him.
Now, you listen to me.
What he read there were the
ramblings of a bitter, grieving coward.
I mean, look at it.
It's halfway burned.
It probably pissed him off!
So don't tell me he's poisoned!
And this shit with Donna...
There's nothing to know.
So you better calm down.
This is about your
fear, your history.
You stop bleedin' all over him!
And finish burnin' that.
You are losing control...
just like he did.
You lookin' for me?
Two days ago, you sat there.
You made me a promise.
Told me Opie was safe.
Now, I'm askin' you,
brother to brother,
father to son,
just tell me the
truth, and I'll accept it,
whatever it is.
Just be honest with me.
Did you try to kill Opie?
Kill Donna by mistake?
I don't know who's been fillin'
your head with this shit, son.
I'm gonna tell you again.
I love Opie, loved Donna.
I'd never do
nothin' to hurt 'em.
This is a rough
time for Sam Crow.
But we'd better put
this shit behind us.
Suspicion, resentment.
That kind of shit eats up
morale, fractures a charter.
Yeah.
It's true.
You know where Tig is? Yeah.
He's on his way
to the safe house.
What's the matter?
The info on that
witness just came out.
She's a 17-year-old girl, Jax.
Holy shit.
Where are they?
What are you doin'? Jax?
Where the hell
are you goin'? Jax!
Shit!
Let's do this. Go. Go, go, go.
Wesley?
- Sheriff Lane, do you copy?
- Go!
Oh, shit! Freeze!
Drop it, bitch!
No, no, no, no, no, no. Give
me that gun. Give me the gun.
Take her. Take her.
Take her.
Jesus Christ! You've
gotta be shittin' me.
That our witness?
It's kind of late
for a house call.
I was on my way home from work.
Just thought I'd stop by and check in.
I guess I miss him, you know?
Yeah, I do.
How is he?
I could do this, bro.
No. It's me.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, kid.
Jesus! You scared the shit out
of me, man. Put down the gun.
What?
We don't kill women.
What are you
doing here, brother?
What the hell is this?
Put it down, or I will put
a bullet in your temple.
You think you got
the balls to do that?
All right.
You two, get out of here.
This wasn't the plan.
You think this through.
Go home, now.
Let's go.
Do you see this guy? He's a
bad guy, and he wants you dead.
You know why?
'Cause you're gonna
rat on two of his friends!
So you can't do that, 'cause he
will find you no matter where you are.
And next time, I won't
be there to save your life.
You understand? Yeah.
The feds, the cops... Nobody
can protect you. That's obvious.
If you testify, you will die.
I won't. I promise. I won't.
Hey!
You get a train, you get a
bus, you steal a goddamn car.
I don't give a shit. You get out of
California tonight or you're dead!
You just crossed
the line, brother.
You know?
Not yet.
Yeah? Come on! Bring it!
Come on.
"To my oldest, dearest
and wisest friend.
"What we started, you and I,
was a good thing for a good reason.
"What we've become
is a different thing...
"for reasons I no
longer understand.
"I feel angry winds at my back,
"and I'm not sure how
much time I have left...
"in this cut I love so much.
"This book is for all
the things we wanted...
"and for all the
things we still can be.
I love you, brother. J.T."
Oh, my God.
Okay. Go catch up
with your grandma.
Thanks. You're welcome.
Oh. Here. No, keep it.
Thanks.
There's cool water down there.

Hey, Mary.
Where is he?
Outside... with the kids.
It's good you're here, Mary.
Yeah.
- How are they doin'?
- She's been crying all morning.
Kenny still doesn't get it.
Boys.
Anything you need... I know.
You want me to stick around?
No.
I'm okay.
She knew.
She knew I was gonna
bring on something like this.
- Ope, you didn't bring this.
- A banger shot my wife.
I had nothing to do with that?
Can I help?
No.
You were upset last night.
Was that our mistake?
Oh, Jesus.
And Jax?
He knows what
everybody else knows.
Donna's death was
Niner retaliation.
Motherless children.
They make people do
drastic things. This is bad.
You think I don't know that?
You think I wanted this?
You feel all that, baby.
You feel it here.
That's right.
You walk out that door,
you be the man they
all need you to be.
Oh, Jesus.
Here you go.
What's this? Got
a call from Lodi.
A black Rover was jacked
from a sports bar last night.
Take Fain, see if
anybody saw anything.
We both know who
was driving that S.U.V.
We got no positive I.D.
This relationship
you have with Clay...
I don't like it,
but I get it.
You make a deal with
the devil to keep the peace.
But look at this.
Look at what we let happen.
An innocent woman killed.
I didn't let that happen.
Yeah, you're right. It's on me.
What was I supposed to do?
Roll over and feed SAMCRO
classified information?
I get the "rock and the hard
place" this all took you to.
Sorry this guilt comes down
on you. Well, then, help me.
For once. Please.
Just help me...
serve justice to these guys.
I should be fishin' somewhere.
Or readin' a book half buzzed
on vodka and lemonade.
And I'm still here
in this suit of mine...
because I've got my own rock
and hard place I'm livin' between.
I ain't got much
more of a run in me.
A few years, maybe.
Need something to leave
Della and my half-smart kids.
I'm sorry, son.
Right.
Hey... Hey. Without a witness,
you'll never put
this crime on Clay.
But I doubt Jax would be party
to anything that would hurt Opie.
Maybe... we let the outlaws
serve up their own justice.

Hey.
Is he okay? I can't
get him to stop.
He's fed. I changed
him. Where's Gemma?
- On her way.
- Okay.
Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
Come on. Huh?
Come on. What's
all that fuss about?
Huh?
Here you go.
Come on. Come on.
Hey.
You're all right,
little dude. Yeah.
You're all right.
Can't find the chapter
on ex-junkie moms.
Don't think our pages have
been written yet, sweetheart.
What happened
last night with us...
It was a hard night, Wendy.
That all it was?
God, I want this, Jax.
He's your son. You have him.
No, not just him.
We've done our dance, Wendy.
Yeah, but never like this.
Not with him.
Could be different.
We've been through
way too much shit.
I just want another chance.
I mean, this little guy at least
deserves that try, you know.
Put together some time.
All right?
See where it goes. Okay.
I will.
I'm gonna make
this work, Jax. Okay?
All clear.
How is he?
I don't know.
How do you think he is?
There's no viewing.
Funeral's tomorrow.
Well, let's get
people down for this.
I want a good show of support.
Happy's already in town.
I'll start making some calls.
I gotta take
responsibility for this.
I was the one that pushed
for that deal with the Mayans.
I knew there was
gonna be some kind of...
Niner blowback, but...
I never thought it would
reach this far, go this way.
We all voted yes
on that Mayan deal.
Nobody seen this
comin'. That's right.
Yeah, but it happened.
So how do we handle it?
The Niners are
gonna be dealt with.
But right now, let's just walk
through this, be there for Ope.
We help Ope by
settling the score.
We track down Laroy and put
a bullet in that nigger's head.
Now, what are you
lookin' at him for?
I'm the one talkin' to
you. I know, brother.
I know you're hurtin'. You
think you're tryin' to help, but...
Don't you tell me
what I'm thinkin'!
You know, if this
happened to your family,
there'd be six charters
halfway to Oakland.
- This did happen to my family.
- No, it didn't!
The Niners came gunnin' for my
son. They killed my daughter-in-law.
You got that? Huh? You got
that kind of hole in your family?
I got it.
Where are you goin'?
Look, man.
Nobody wants to even
this out more than me.
Let's just bury Donna, catch our breath,
and then we'll do what needs to be done.
Yeah. Let's, uh...
Let's do that, huh?
- Hey, prospect.
- Huh?
Keep an eye on the old man.
Where is he going?
I don't know. That's
why you're following him.
Right.
Excuse me.
Can I have a minute?
Yeah, sure.
I heard about what
happened to Donna.
God. I'm so sorry. Thanks.
Anybody know what happened?
No.
Look, I know you're busy.
I just wanted to make
sure you were all right.
Mmm, I appreciate that.
I'm sorry about last
night. I... It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
Nothing is okay.
Like, the last few weeks, I...
I tried to follow your lead.
You know, find some kind of...
compartment to
put all this stuff in.
But I just... I...
I can't. I don't... sleep.
I'm more scared
now than I ever was.
I'm scared of getting caught.
I'm scared of not getting caught.
We got away with murder.
What does that make me?
A survivor.
I think you're a good man...
with a big heart.
I believe you try to do as
much good as you can, but...
you live a life I don't think
I'll ever really understand.
I called Chicago
Presbyterian today,
and they said
they'd take me back.
And I think it's
the best choice.
Don't you get tired of it?
Running?
I'm not running. I'm-I'm
just being realistic, Jax.
Call it whatever you want.
Your life is a series
of hit-and-runs.
The minute someone
makes you feel uncomfortable,
tests your loyalty, little Tara
packs her bags and hits the road.
Well, I guess you got what
you wanted from me, right?
Used me to do your dirty work.
That's not fair! Not fair?
You wanna know how many women
I've slept with over the last 10 years?
Don't do this... Hundreds!
Maybe more, I don't know.
I barely see their faces.
I married Wendy
because I was lonely.
Because I got tired of
the endless disconnect.
It was just a sad time-out.
Because when I'm inside
someone, there's only one face I see.
When you came home, it was
like some kind of sign to me.
Like my past coming around giving
me another shot to do this different.
Better.
And now that chance is
running back to Chicago.
You take care, Doc.
♪♪
Hey, you think I
could borrow your car?
Need more wipes. Yeah.
My wallet's over there.
Just take what you need.
That Jax's stuff?
Well, I figure I'd
better unpack for him,
or this shit'll be
sittin' in the garage...
for the next three months. Wow.
You're, like, Dr. Jekyll
and Donna Reed.
You and Jax...
How's that comin'?
He has his doubts
about me comin' back.
We all do.
Well, I'm gonna convince him.
Gonna be the girl he fell in love with.
Good for you.
Thanks.
All right, I'll be back.
Oh!

What's goin' on? I wanted to
give you this news in person.
Well, that don't
sound good. It's not.
The U.S. Attorney is releasing
the details on the witness at 5:00.
5:01, A.T.F. is
presenting their case...
against Opie Winston
for Hefner's murder.
Bring him in for a lineup.
From what the prosecution's shared,
he's probably not goin' back home.
Jesus Christ. So what
do we know, Rosen?
There's an eyewitness.
Probably a resident.
They offered wit pro, which
means he's in lockdown.
Opie buries his wife tomorrow.
I'll drag my feet.
See that they don't bring
him in too early. Sorry.
Have my office call
you about my retainer?
Sure. Thanks.
G, Dog, go.
All right.
Their whole case against
Bobby and Opie is that witness.
- Without him,
they got nothin'.
- So we gotta get to him.
Kill him? He's a rat.
Rats deserve to
die. End of story.
"Wit pro" means safe house.
Twenty-four hour protection.
That's a dead
end. That can't be.
Opie goes back to prison,
what happens to his kids?
What, the state's gonna
give 'em to Piney or Mary?
They're gonna end
up in the system.
Let's not forget
Bobby. He got I.D.'d...
'cause he had to clean
up after Ope's mistake.
We gotta do this
before the funeral.
Ope's family can't
take another hit. Agreed.
Right. Yeah.
Maybe Trammel can help.
If the safe house is in San Joaquin,
he's probably got sheriffs on him.
Call Happy.
- I'm sure one of his smiley face
tats is for a dead witness.
- I'm on it.
- Yeah.
- Jax. Hey, man, I got,
like, a serious problem.
- I followed Piney into Oakland.
- What the hell is
he doin' in Oakland?
It looks like he's goin' into a bar,
but there are Niner tags everywhere.
Jesus Christ. Piney
went lookin' for Laroy.
Oh, goddamn it! Crazy old kook.
- Where are you?
- 38th and Allendale.
All right, watch his
back. We're on our way.
Let's go get him.
Get him out of there!
We'll deal with
the Niners later.
Let's go find
Trammel. All right.
- Glad you could join me.
- Hey.
I was just, you know, comin' down
to... see what you were doing and stuff.
You need to, uh,
brush up on your stealth skills.
You did everything but wave
at me when you were following.
I did wave at you, actually.
I was gettin' a little lost
comin' off the 580 there,
hopin' you'd slow down.
Listen, if you're comin',
let's go get this party
started, huh? Okay.
I was thinkin' we could not do
that and just hang out here for a bit.
Now, I don't need those guys.
I know what I gotta do.
Shit.
♪♪
If you're lookin' for the assisted
livin' home, it's two blocks south.
Oh, no, sweetheart.
I got all the assistance I need.
Sister. Cracker.
Hmm.
What kind of shit is this?
What business you got here?
I'm just lookin' for a friend.
You ain't got no friends here.
Hey, hey! Okay. Whoa,
whoa, whoa! Okay.
Where's Laroy?
Want to get yourself
killed, old man?
Well, I'm ready for that.
Are you?
Yeah, the feds put us on some
safe houses. All depends on the case.
What's this about? We
need to locate someone,
see how committed
they are to what they saw.
Jesus Christ, Clay.
You want me to hand over
a federal witness? No, no.
We just wanna talk
to him, Trammel.
How goddamn stupid do I look?
Man, I don't care how
thick the envelope is.
That... No. You
don't understand.
I ain't offerin' you money.
When this witness
fingers Opie and Bobby,
A.T.F. comes after us with RICO.
Aw, shit. Yeah, man.
That means all of us, and
everybody attached to us, goes down.
You do savvy that,
my not stupid friend?
Jesus Christ.
We'll have the name of
that witness this afternoon.
They're not gonna use a name.
I'm gonna need a case number.
Case number?
Where the hell are we
supposed to find that intel?
Top of Charming's food chain.
We got a problem.
Well, then safety's
off. Let's go. Mm-hmm.
Shit.
Crazy old man.
This doesn't involve you, Jax.
One of these... assholes...
killed Donna, and I'm
gonna make that right.
What the hell is
he talkin' about?
I get him to put
down the revolver,
you promise we
walk out of here alive?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
Put down the gun,
Piney. I ain't leavin'...
till the nigger that
killed Donna is dead!
All right?
- Shithead!
- Easy.
Noise we made at the Mayan gun
sale is about how pissed off we are.
But if we wanted your
cracker asses dead...
Someone last night in a gangster
S.U.V. gunned down my daughter.
Now, that smells just
like nigger revenge to me.
Nigger, nigger,
nigger, nigger, nigger.
Old fat bastard here
says nigger one more time,
and that "walking out
alive" deal we talked about...
Off the goddamn table.
Someone went
after one of my guys.
Killed his wife by mistake.
Wasn't us.
So this old fat bastard...
is supposed to take
your word for it...
because you're an
honorable and a black man?
Shut up!
Your trouble with us...
You work that out of your system.
Or does this beef keep growin'?
But you keep talking
about beefs... Piney!
Let me handle this,
or I will kill you myself!
Our business issues...
still need to be worked out.
But if my need to hurt Sam Crow took
me to Charming, had me killin' women,
do you think we'd
be sittin' here talkin'?
I'm tellin' you the truth.
Niners didn't kill
your daughter.
I suggest you boys find
your way back home quickly.
Clay. How'd you get in here?
I told the girl at the gate
we were here to fix your cars.
Guess we look like the help.
What's this about?
This is a great-lookin'
horse, man.
I assume you got that, uh,
special delivery
package I sent ya.
Yeah. I got it.
You made your point.
I reneged on our deal.
That knife...
It's still got your
prints all over it.
The nutless clown,
raped your daughter...
Well, he's buried
in Macon Woods.
Dead body, murder
weapon, motive.
It's the three things
a guy needs...
for a homicide
conviction. Jesus Christ.
You're insane. Well,
I assure you, Elliott,
I'm saner than I've ever been.
I need your help,
Elliott, and, uh,
if you refuse,
I'm gonna turn all three of
those items over to Unser.
And the only thing
you'll be ridin'...
is a big black dude named Jo Jo.
So what do you want?
I assume you got friends
in the U.S. Attorney's office.
Maybe, uh, a couple of
judges you've played golf with.
Hey.
Where are we at
with Donna's murder?
Uh, nowhere.
No leads? Suspicions?
No. Sorry.
Come with me.
Gives us some privacy.
For what?
I know how close
you and Opie are.
I remember you and him in high
school. You were inseparable.
This is feelin' a little gay.
I knew Stahl was
setting Opie up as a rat.
She wired his truck.
I think Clay found that wire,
thought Opie was
working with the feds,
and then tried to
have him killed.
Donna was a mistake.
Why are you tellin' me this
shit? You think I'll give up Clay?
We ended up on opposing
teams, you and me.
Don't like each
other all that much.
But seeing an innocent
woman gunned down,
two little kids...
with no mom...
Man, I think that falls on the wrong
side of the fence for both of us.
Thank you.
You got something you wanna say?
Donna Winston was
murdered last night.
What are you talkin' about?
She was gunned down.
Brutal.
Who the hell would
wanna kill Opie's wife?
Oh, well, you
see, it was a, um...
It was a mistake.
The killer thought that
he was killing Opie.
Who went after Opie?
I made Clay believe that...
Opie was the witness
who fingered you.
But it was a lie.
I set him up.
Why are you tellin' me this?
We'll be charging Opie
with Hefner's murder.
Pick him up after
the funeral tomorrow.
U.S. Attorney will
seek the death penalty...
for both of you.
I guess I'm feeling guilty
about creating orphans.
Thanks for listening.
Beautiful animal, huh?
Yeah.
Can I tell you something?
Well, if it involves you and
a horse, I'd rather not hear it.
Yesterday...
Yesterday, at the
warehouse, Opie, he, uh,
he saved me from
gettin' my head blown off.
And then I, uh, had
a clear shot at him.
And I couldn't take it.
You know,
shootin' through the back
of that window in the truck...
I was afraid.
I was afraid if I saw his face,
I couldn't pull the trigger.
I didn't know, Clay,
that it was Donna...
till it was done.
I depend on you
so much for that shit,
sometimes I forget
the weight of it.
This thing with Ope,
all that means is...
you got love for your brothers.
Donna, it's... it's awful shit.
Awful.
We're gonna get past this.
Yeah. All right.
Case number.
What are you gonna
do with that information?
What'd you tell
your judge buddy?
That a councilman
wanted the information...
because he didn't want
safe houses in his district.
Good. Very good.
What about that knife?
It's still our secret. Don't
worry. We'll keep it safe for you.
I called Happy on the prepay.
He had an alarming amount of
knowledge about safe houses and witnesses.
Of course he did.
He said there's usually a sheriff
or two outside, A.T.F. agent inside.
Mostly rookies who
get stuck babysitting.
He thinks it'll take
three guys. All right.
Me, Chibs, Happy.
You okay to do this?
Oh, yeah. I need to.
All right.
Give Trammel the case number.
Tell him to call us with the location.
Now, I want a
flawless plan. All right?
Take out the witness. Nobody
else gets hurt. Okay. No mistakes.
Where is he?
Well, he's not back yet. Why?
What's the matter, Jackson?
I got some information on Donna.
What information?
Tell Clay I'm in the chapel.

He doesn't know shit.
Listen to me. He

This was in one of his boxes.
It's what he found in
storage when Abel was born.
He wrote it all down... all his
pathetic hopes and dreams.
This is a book of
failures and fixes.
John is speaking to him from the
goddamn grave. You're being hysterical.
I told you to nail Jax
down, bring him closer!
This is a bunch of
words. It's a bunch of shit!

I know my son.
He is restless, just
like his old man.
Always lookin' for something
more, the reasons why.
This shit is gonna send
him on a destiny run.
Readin' those secrets, finding
out about the Donna mistake.
What happened to John...
I cannot do that
again, not with him.
Now, you listen to me.
What he read there were the
ramblings of a bitter, grieving coward.
I mean, look at it.
It's halfway burned.
It probably pissed him off!
So don't tell me he's poisoned!
And this shit with Donna...
There's nothing to know.
So you better calm down.
This is about your
fear, your history.
You stop bleedin' all over him!
And finish burnin' that.
You are losing control...
just like he did.

Two days ago, you sat there.
You made me a promise.
Told me Opie was safe.
Now, I'm askin' you,
brother to brother,
father to son,

truth, and I'll accept it,
whatever it is.
Just be honest with me.
Did you try to kill Opie?
Kill Donna by mistake?
I don't know who's been fillin'
your head with this shit, son.
I'm gonna tell you again.
I love Opie, loved Donna.
I'd never do
nothin' to hurt 'em.
This is a rough
time for Sam Crow.
But we'd better put
this shit behind us.
Suspicion, resentment.
That kind of shit eats up
morale, fractures a charter.
Yeah.
It's true.
You know where Tig is? Yeah.
He's on his way
to the safe house.
What's the matter?
The info on that
witness just came out.
She's a 17-year-old girl, Jax.
Holy shit.

What are you doin'? Jax?
Where the hell
are you goin'? Jax!
Shit!
Let's do this. Go. Go, go, go.

I guess I miss him, you know?
Yeah, I do.
How is he?
I could do this, bro.
No. It's me.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, kid.
Jesus! You scared the shit out

What?
We don't kill women.
What are you
doing here, brother?
What the hell is this?
Put it down, or I will put
a bullet in your temple.
You think you got
the balls to do that?
All right.
You two, get out of here.
This wasn't the plan.
You think this through.
Go home, now.
Let's go.
Do you see this guy? He's a
bad guy, and he wants you dead.
You know why?
'Cause you're gonna
rat on two of his friends!
So you can't do that, 'cause he
will find you no matter where you are.
And next time, I won't
be there to save your life.
You understand? Yeah.
The feds, the cops... Nobody
can protect you. That's obvious.
If you testify, you will die.
I won't. I promise. I won't.
Hey!
You get a train, you get a
bus, you steal a goddamn car.
I don't give a shit. You get out of
California tonight or you're dead!
You just crossed

You know?
Not yet.
Yeah? Come on! Bring it!
Come on.
