The Company You Keep (2023–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - The Truth Shall Set You Free - full transcript

Previously on "The
Company You Keep"...

We're the Asian
American Kennedys.

We got to remember to
put that in the memoir.

Claire Fox?

Her support is not
the kind you want.

Why does Daphne want
to go to Pine Grove?

Brad Willford will be a
featured speaker there.

Dealing drugs to dealing arms.

That is an ambitious
new line of work.

Connor wants you
dead. Your family too.

And I'm the only one standing
in the way of that happening.



When she finds out what we
do, her innocence is gone.

[no audible dialogue]

I am so sorry for leaving you
to raise our daughter alone.

I let you down before.

Not gonna do it again.

- This one mine?
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Hey, so Ollie's
still not ready yet?

Yeah, the tween "I'll
be ready when I'm ready"

vibes are strong today.

Let her take her time.



I don't mind hanging here.

OK. Deal them up.

[door clatters]

What?

Look what the cat dragged in.

Frankie Musso.

[laughs] Oh, my!

How long has it been?

Too long, Franny Bananny.

Always too long.

But you, my love,
haven't changed a lick.

- Oh!
- You still got it,

the million-dollar
smile, legs for days.

Oh, you are so full
of it, Frankie.

[chuckles]

If you're gonna
flirt with my wife,

you better butter me up too.

Don't be jealous, Leo.

You already got the girl.

What is this about?

Greatest rivalry Bank
Street's ever seen.

So that was Ma's fiancé
until she met Pop.

- Wow.
- Mm-hmm.

Nah, seriously.

I should probably be
thanking you, Leo.

Oh, yeah? How's that, Frankie?

Ah, Franny walking out on me
kind of forced me to grow up,

make something of myself.

[groans]

I owe all my success
to you, doll.

- You're welcome.
- [chuckles]

So how's New York
treating you, Frankie?

Like the best city in the world.

And you guys...

Glad to see the place
is still going strong.

- Yeah.
- I mean,

with the neighborhood
changing and all.

I heard there's a Whole Foods
going in a few blocks over.

All the coffee shops
and yoga studios

can't keep up with
charm and a stiff drink.

Absolutely.

I was surprised when I heard
Rosie sold the pizza joint.

Wait, Rosie sold?

But word is, she made
a boatload of money.

Hey, do you remember... [laughs]

Do you remember our
first date there?

Yeah, I also remember
when I found you there

two-timing me with
Cindy Napoletano.

She meant almost nothing to me.

Almost nothing.

[laughter]

I can't believe Rosie sold, huh?

- Wow.
- Yeah.

March of progress.

Still, those real
estate vultures

could be an opportunity.

Are you suggesting that we sell?

No, we could never.

This place is part
of who we are.

An institution.

[snaps fingers]

Couldn't agree more.

Hey. There she is.

You ready to go?

Did you...

[groans]

I forgot the sign for kneepads.

All right.

♪ ♪

You see the look on Pop's
face when Frankie walked in?

[chuckles]

Thought Pop was gonna ram the
guy's head through the bar

when he mentioned selling.

Yeah, do you think that's
the message or the messenger?

Hmm.

You ever think where you'd be

if you weren't born into
this family business?

[dramatic music]

Look, I tried a different
life, you know, in New York.

And I mean, Simon stuff aside,

I always felt like I was...

running a long con,
you know what I mean?

Like I was just trying to live
some life that wasn't for me.

This place, what we do, I...

I like my life.

And this... this is

Aye, but let's not forget
who's in charge, right?

All of youse, you
work for us, yeah?

- Leave it.
- We work together.

And best of all, we have managed

to scale up all our operations
without any bloodshed.

I wouldn't say without any.

Hey, that was just a wee
reminder of what happens

- when you mess with my family.
- I said leave it.

Perhaps you need
to step outside.

I don't take orders

Are you serious?

Someone at Langley decided

This doesn't make sense.

Well, you've clearly
ruffled a few feathers,

especially with your findings
concerning Dalton Bridges.

So any movement we
make on the Maguires

will have to go through

All right, let me
get this straight.

Emma needs Daphne
and the Maguires

to meet Brad Willford,
but yet Daphne

doesn't want Connor or Patrick
anywhere near the meeting?

Correct, so we got to make
Daphne think that she's

getting everything she wants.

Otherwise, she's gonna
turn and set her sights

right back on us.

How do we pull that off?

We got to figure out a
way to give both Daphne

- and Emma what they want.
- Mm-hmm.

- Besides Charlie.
- Thanks.

- Yup.
- Wait, wait, wait.

[muffled dialogue]

[banging]

[laughs]

Mm.

How much longer you think
you can hold that one off?

Not much.

But it's got to be
right, you know?

- Yeah.
- So we need to make

two opposing things
happen at the same time

without either of them knowing

that the other one is happening.

Sarajevo Shuffle?

- No.
- No.

- No. Permanent veto.
- Mm-hmm.

- Permanent vet...
- OK.

- Maybe Kansas City Shuffle.
- Dangerous.

No, it's not... It's
not the worst idea.

It's pretty close to it.

What about the Two Jeffs?

No Jeffs.

Two Jeffs failed... twice!

The script was solid.

- It's just, the Jeffs...
- Weren't right.

Right, so all we need are...

- The right Jeffs.
- Yes.

Third time's a charm.

Nice, Mom. Nailed it.

OK. Two Jeffs.

Two meetings happening
at the same time

with the same people,
all to get us out

from underneath both
Daphne and Emma.

Course, if you hadn't
gotten under Emma

in the first place...

Ha.

Now, Daphne's contact
at American Armory,

Brad Willford, is
the same old stooge

that we have known.

Now, Brad, before he got
involved with Daphne,

he was already skimming
guns on the regular.

Since expanding his business
to include gangsters,

he's gotten a little skittish.

All right, so if we're
gonna make this work,

we got to get
Daphne on our side.

I will tell her everything
that she needs to know.

What about Emma?

And I will tell her

everything she needs to how.

How do we pull this off

with the CIA looking
over our shoulder?

We only show Emma what
we want her to see.

Right, if that's the
case, we're gonna need

more bodies to pull this off.

Whatever you need,
Leo, the answer is yes.

Talk to Birdie.

Two Jeffs on a train?

- Come on in.
- Hey.

- I got this.
- OK.

Had to be a train, huh?

Worse... metro.

Yeah, Willford, he's nervous.

Well, if arms dealing was
easy, everyone would do it.

The Silver Line has two tunnels

and a handful of
underground stations,

which means we need to
rely on local frequencies.

Plus, I need to get it on tape.

So we go old-school.

Full disclosure, we haven't
used this stuff in 20 years.

Well, that makes me feel better.

me to push you to do this.
