Hey, Timmy. Your dad's here.
Do I have to go?
What's up, buddy?
Ready to hang with your old man?
What do you expect, Mick?
You blow him off every other weekend.
What do you expect when you bad-mouth me the way you do?
Oh, you think I'm the reason you two have problems?

[Stillman] '.44 Magnum.'
Traded in during an anonymous
Guns for Groceries program.
It's...a cannon.
A lot of groceries for this thing.
Ballistics got a hit.
The gun killed a Mick Malone, June of '86.
A dockworker. Killed at the pier.
Yeah, Mick had a reputation for busting kneecaps
as a low-level muscle for the Longshoremen's Union.
Dangerous moonlighting.
Figured Mick's death was related, but keep reading.
Mick was also a wrestler for the WIC, indie circuit.
That where Humpty Dumpty comes in?
Bear Jacobs.
Gun's registered in his name.
We pulled him from a match.
You mean he doesn't dress like that all the time?
Waitin' forever.
Eighty buck purse I missed out on tonight.
Well, you got bigger concerns, Bear.
[gasps] You found my baby! Where was she?
You're pretty excited to own a gun with a body on it.
A body? Hell you talkin' about?
Mick Machine Malone.
In the WIC together.
I didn't kill Mick.
Only wrestled him a couple of times.
Crowd loved him.
Then how do you explain this whole
you owning the gun situation?
I ain't had her
since March of '86.
And I know exactly where she went.
Hey!
[grunts]
You report the gun stolen, Bear?
Wanted to find the son of a bitch myself.
Guy was a jobber to the midcarders.
Hired to get beat every night?
Jumped around the circuits.
Only got work 'cause he could do a Commie accent.
Cold War saved his ass.
Now who was this guy?
Red Scare.
Don't know his real name.
Remember where you were when Mick got killed?
Twenty-some years ago?
Where were you?
It was not my gun that killed a guy.
June 16th, 1986.
[sighs]
Probably at the Traffic Light.
Dated a waitress there. Sapphire.
Well, Bear, your new ring is gonna be a holding cell
'till she vouches for you.'
Might want to call for some extra clothes.
Gets chilly downstairs.
Hey, when I get out..
...you gonna give me my gun back?
Yeah, I'll have it gift wrapped for you.
[theme music]
[Rush] Mick The Machine Malone, 28.
Day of murder, June 16th, 1986.
'Baby face of the WIC.'
- Baby face? - Good guy.
Would've headlined against other heels as the fan favorite.
Lil, apparently was a Hulkamaniac back in the day.
[Valens] 'So, you like that nonsense?'
Oh, it distracted me for a few hours every Saturday.
Assigned talked to some wrestlers back in '86
and Lance Kotrola, WIC's promoter.
Well, Mick's last match was ten days before he was killed
against Sweet Sil Tavern.
Well, Mick had a nine-year-old son, Tim, with ex-wife, Rachel.
Night Mick was murdered, she was with Tim at the hospital.
Did a midnight shift at the local diner.
I'll reach out to the son, see what he knows.
And let's pay Lance a visit too.
He might know who the Red Scare was.
Hey, uh, either of you heard from Vera?
Uh, think he's tracking down Bear's alibi.
Yeah.
Supposed to have breakfast with him
but the dude never showed.
Left him a couple messages myself.
He's probably just hungover somewhere.
You know what's going on with him?
Whatever it is, he's keeping it to himself.
[instrumental music]
You were at the hospital the night your dad died?
Broke my arm playing football.
Got a cast, nothing big.
Your dad ever mention a wrestler named Red Scare?
Red Scare?
Nah.
I thought he got killed 'cause of something he did down here.
We're just, uh, looking into a wrestling connection.
Wrestling brought us closer.
Brought us all closer.
Look what I got for you, buddy.
"Bill The Thrill!"
Awesome!
Yeah, don't look now but someday
that's gonna be a Mick Malone doll.
I mean, wrestler.
Yeah, you wish, dad.
Oh, I wish?
[growling]
[laughing]
Where did you learn that move?
You know, I've been getting in the ring a little bit.
Going to this wrestling school.
[Timmy] 'No way!'
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard.
It's the coolest thing I've ever done.
But you're still unloading cargo?
Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna quit my job.
You know, maybe someday, right, buddy?
Yeah.
I can't tell who's the adult
between the two of you.
Look, wrestling's honest work.
It beats debt collecting.
That's not saying much.
What happens if you get hurt in the ring?
Nah, it's fine.
Means, it's all for show.
Nobody really gets hurt.
'Anyways, here.'
It's, uh..
It's from my first match. It's not much.
I'm just a jobber now, but..
...I'll get more if I stick with it.
Okay.
Great.
Still need a ring name though.
I was thinking maybe you could come up with something, Timmy.
Yeah, somethin' cool, you know.
Like..
...The Machine.
The Machine?
Like you're unstoppable.
Like you grind people up, and drill 'em into the mat.
See, now that's the coolest thing I've ever heard.
You ready to hang with your old man?
Totally. Let's go.
That was probably the happiest time from when I was a kid.
My dad coming back in my life like that.
You know any of the wrestlers your dad hung out with?
No, mom never let me go to any of his matches.
But I got every bootleg tape I can find with him on it.
Mind if I take a look at those?
Be my guest.
You know, I'm pretty sure the only reason
he got in the ring was..
...because of me.
Quite an operation, Lance.
That chair you're in, ten grand.
[whistles]
Yeah, you know, the WWE, they had these
perfect, polished little matches back in the 80s
and I said screw that with two words, garbage wrestling.
I guess bloodlust is where it's at, even if it's fake.
Well, my matches may be predetermined
but they're far from fake.
Athletes have to have pretty big brass ones to rep the WIC.
Guys like Mick Malone?
Is that what this is all about?
Well, Mick stopped wrestling ten days before he died
after his match with Sil Tavern.
Why was he off the card?
Kayfabe.
You know, keeping up appearances outside of the ring.
Acting, more time off to..
...build hype for a feud.
Sil and Mick have any real beef behind the scenes?
Please. Someone in the family does well, we all do well.
Red Scare part of that family?
Are you kidding? I fired that crackhead over 20 years ago.
'He got a real name?'
Nate Beecher.
What was the deal with him and Mick?
Well, they were both jobbers, trying to move up the ranks
but Mick was a natural at what mattered most.
[Ratt singing "Round And Round"]
[Sil] 'Not only am I the champion'
but I also have the greatest title of them all..
...The Sweet One.

to lose to Sil Tavern.
'Then they can run to their girlfriends'
and tell them they were just beaten
by the prettiest there ever was.
[laughs]
Oh, and ladies..
...if you notice, this face..
...not a scratch on it.
[laughs] Cut.
Superb.
Okay, who's next?
You, Red Scare, let's see what you got.
♪ It's all the same she said ♪
I Red Scare.
My dropkicks like missiles from Gorbachev.
[Lance] 'Cut. Lame.'
Anybody with some freakin' personality here, please.
♪ You'd put an arrow through my heart ♪
Well, let me tell you something, Lance.
When the big boss man in the sky created The Machine
he gave me one job
crushing punks like sissy Sil Tavern.
And until you're in that driller slam
and you hear that one

Mick had headliner written all over him.
Red Scare, just a jealous loser that I kicked to the curb.
Know where he is now?
Last I heard that 'mo was mastering
the fine art of cot wrestling with his cell mate.
Must have sucked being the Detroit Lions of wrestling.
Huh, Red Scare?
I was a good wrestler.
No one did the Russian like me.
Too bad you couldn't be as good a criminal.
Rap sheet a mile long.
Always getting pinched.
You steal that?
Doesn't look familiar.
- Not what Bear says. - I don't know a Bear.
How about a Machine?
You know Mick Malone?
Nope.
Well, then you must have hit your head pretty good
when he slammed you to the ground like a rag doll.
What's your point with all this?
Look, we'll go slow, so try to keep up.
This .44 is the gun that killed Mick.
If you don't talk, slap the gun theft on you
you've got another seven years.
Even more for Mick's murder.
Well, hypothetically, if I'd taken Bear's gun
imagine it had some worth
so I wouldn't have kept it more than a few weeks.
[sighs] Hypothetically, what might you have done with it?
Traded it for some stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Well, steroids, hypothetically.
And I would have sent it to this guy, Sil Tavern.
Known for the good juice.
Sent? Like, in the mail?
Might have been in Tampa at the time.
Alright, you sent a gun through the mail?
Hypothetically.
But I made him sign for it.
I ain't stupid.
Bottom line, I didn't have that gun, Sil did.
[instrumental music]
- Ooh, good one. - 'Thank you.'
Thanks. I appreciate it, guys.
- Sweet Sil Tavern. - Yeah.
I saw you wrestle when I was a kid.
Yeah, well, this is just temporary.
I'll be back in the ring soon.
Alright, pic, two for ten, both of you.
Maybe later.
You ever own a .44 Magnum?
I used to work security, but..
...I never needed a piece like that.
Well, took us forever
to find this stupid tracking slip
and now you're gonna lie?
It's a .44 Magnum.
Sent from Nate Beecher.
It was the gun that killed Mick Malone.
Mick Malone. We were good friends.
The more we beat each other up, the closer we've gotten.
Rivalry ever spill outside the ring?
No way.
We had a great thing going. You know, Lance worked it all out.
We were the perfect baby face/heel combination.
So what about the gun?
I got it from Nate, but I sold it right after.
To who?
Well, to Mick actually.
So you just happened to sell it to the dead guy?
Yeah, I didn't need it.
I gave him a deal on it.
Mick said something about doing side jobs, extra cash like that.
- Debt collecting? - Maybe.
'Indies don't pay much.'
Mick was just trying to take care of his son.
Did whatever it took for his family.
[Poison singing "Play Dirty"]
[Lance] It's our first garbage match
so we're gonna need to sell it, okay?
Sil is gonna get a club with barbed wire
out from under the ring.
- Barbed wire? - 'Okay, Mick.'
You wince with every shot. You're in pain.
But the moment you duck, the tides are turned.
You hit Sil and he drops the club.
I don't see what we need all this garbage stuff for.
I'm tired of people saying we're fake.
Okay, they want real, we'll give 'em real.
We'll blow the WWF out of the freakin' water.
I told my kid I'd bring him to the match tonight.
- Watch his father win the belt. - So?
So I don't want my kid seeing me all cut up with barbed wire.
Well, I guess you'll bring him to a different match, won't you?
Look, don't tell me what to do with my kid.
- You wanna wrestle or not? - 'Hey, hey, guys.'
We're cool.
Lance, you know, I was talking about the TV deal.
'This feud will get it.'
And, Mick, your kid, right?
'Do some garbage.'
This works out, you can quit the docks.
Get him whatever he wants.
♪ Play dirty ♪
Fine.
Alright. Alright.
Take that adrenaline into the ring, huh?
Just...with the club
hit me in the back instead of the face.
Yeah, yeah, man, no problem.
♪ Like dirty boys do ♪
I get what Mick was going through
trying to be a good dad.
I got a son too, I..
I'd do anything for him.
Mick and Lance butt heads often?
Don't see why they would have.
We all got our TV deal right after that
and everybody was happy.
Do you remember where you were when Mick got shot?
Yeah, um, I was out with the boys.
We had a card that night.
You got any names?
I'm sure I could drum 'em up.
Well, you're gonna have to come with us till you do.
Look, could it not be here in front of the fans?
'Only got a few minutes left.'
Sorry, Sil. Let's go.
Oh, come on.
Talked to Sapphire from the Traffic Light.
Broke up with Bear in '82.
Well, the guy was only four years off.
Ain't the only thing he was off about.
Turns out he and Mick collected debts together
for the Longshoremen.
Any info on that traveling gun?
I found who donated it to Guns for Groceries
off surveillance at the grocery store.
Jordan Pope.
Lived in Alaska through June of '86.
Well, he couldn't be our doer then.
Said he found the gun in Juniata Park, fall of '86
a few months after the murder.
[dramatic music]
You okay, Belen?
What's wrong?
I saw him.
Have a seat.
The scum who assaulted you?
Where?
He was mowing a lawn in my neighborhood.

[female #1] 'I called the police.'

[dramatic music]
Morning.
What happened, Scotty?
Uh..
I had to...make an arrest.
Guy put up a little resistance.
Everything on the up-and-up?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, no worries.
'Go get checked out, cleaned up'
'and we'll talk about it later on.'
Sure thing.
Now, Scotty.
[Rush] Hey.
You okay?
You should see the other guy.
This have to do with, um..
Did you get him?
Yeah.
You forgot to mention that you and Mick
worked together, muscle for the union.
Makes me look bad.
Well, not as bad as your alibi going south, Bear.
Sapphire dumped you way before '86.
What difference does it make?
Didn't you find the Red Scare?
It was your gun.
'You and Mick collecting debts.'
Where did it go wrong?
Night Mick was killed..
[sighs]
...check Spank-Me Escorts.
Okay.
Mick looked out for me.
Got me the job wrestling.
But..
...his troubles went beyond the mat.
[Mick] 'Look, I told you what happened.'
[Rachel] What kind of a person does that? You bastard!
Why, because I want Timmy to see his dad good at somethin'?
Last time you'll see him at all.
No, no, you're not taking him away from me.
We'll see about that.
Timmy..
Timmy, I'm fine, okay?
I'm fine, buddy. Hey, it's all pretend.
I'll see you soon.
Okay? I'll see you soon.
Rachel..
[dramatic music]
What was the fight about?
'No idea.'
But if Mick's ex thought he'd give up his kid
she had another thing coming.
[Jeffries] 'Just spent an exhilarating time down at family court.'
Yeah, you bond with the city workers?
Yeah, Rachel filed for sole custody
four days before Mick's murder.
Said Mick hung around some unsavory folk.
The wrestlers or dockworkers?
She also claims Mick abandoned Tim
in a warehouse in Baltimore
the night of his last match.
Alright, let's get her in here.
- Miller's picking her up now. - Yeah, Tim too.
We'll see what was going on in that family.
Hey, Valens around?
Um, no.
I'm his partner.
Uh, you're from Central, right?
Yeah, Detective Pierson.
Uh, saw you did the search warrant, uh
after Scotty made that arrest last night.
Yeah, my case initially.
Guess Detective Valens had a beat
went to the scumbag's place, nobody answered.
But, you know, the door was already ajar.
He heard some noises, went in to investigate
and found the IDs.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I figured.
Hmm.
What went wrong, Rachel?
We had Tim young.
Drifted apart.
Mick violent with you guys?
No.
He just had no clue what being a real father was.
What do you mean?
Well, his father was up in Graterford.
I guess he realized that..
...he was heading down the same path with Tim.
'Not really being a father.'
Tried to turn it around.
That's not what you thought when you filed for sole custody.
You said..
...that he got Tim out of school, took him to Baltimore
then left him there.
It took me two hours
to drive up there and get him.
I found him in a warehouse..
...all by himself.
Mick tell you what happened?
He said he got hurt in the match.
But unless you're dead..
...it's no excuse, right?
That's a lot of time and money
to get sole custody.
Enough to make you wanna take matters into your own hands?
I was working the night Mick was killed.
- Check it out. - I did.
You took a two-hour break.
Right around the time Mick was shot.
I snuck off to see my son.
He was in the hospital.
For a broken arm.
Broken arm? Who told you that?
He was in a coma for five days.
A coma? Why?
Look, ma had nothing to do with it, okay?
You see her tell your dad to stay away from you?
So people argue, you know? So what?
Well, it's not exactly the image you painted earlier.
'You never said she filed for sole custody.'
Sole custody? I-I didn't know that.
What happened when he left you alone in that warehouse?
Look, I was just trying to wrap my head around it all, okay?
Around what?
My dad told me it was all fake.

'Then I saw him at the docks'
and he said he was okay.
'It was all just pretend.'
I-I tried to tell him that..
...sometimes people get hurt.
Well, we-we got in an argument about it.
When?
After seeing Mick at the docks.
The night Tim went to the hospital?
'Yeah.'
'He couldn't understand'
why his father would tell him something that wasn't true.
'And he, um..'
...he went to his room and..
Then I heard it..
..footsteps on the roof.
Timmy?
Tim!
[thud]
I, uh..
I shouldn't have fought so hard
to keep them apart, you know?
'I mean, maybe if..'
'If Mick could have talked to him, you know..'
He just..
He wanted to be like his dad.
I found the video from Mick's last match.
[thud]
If Mick knew that stunt was coming
would he have brought his kid to that match?
He spent 12 hours in the ER after that fall.
"Acute axial compression."
It's when the vertebrae mash together, right?
[Rush] 'Could have been paralyzed for life.'
Now check this out.
Right after the match..
Get that out of my face.
I ain't gonna tell you again.
Oh, it's a .44 Magnum.
Sold it to Mick, my ass. Sil had it the whole time.
Let's get him out from holding.
Lance too.
He forgot to mention his..
...star wrestler nearly broke his neck.
Um, Scotty.
Um..
Pierson found this under the radiator.
[dramatic music]
He didn't want it to get mixed up in thereports.
Look, anything you need on this, Scotty, whatever it is..
...you got it.
Thanks, Lil.
Out with the boys when Mick died, hmm?
Yeah, the names you gave us, uh, well..
One's in Japan and the rest are all dead.
In our business, if you make it to 50, you're a survivor.
Well, Mick didn't make it to 30.
When did you sell him that .44 again?
A couple months before he died.
Get that out of my face.
I ain't gonna tell you again.
Match was from ten days before Mick was killed.
Right after you threw him off a scaffold.
I must have sold it to him later than I thought.
Don't lie to me, Sil.
If Mick's gone, you stay champion.
I didn't kill him.
But you got no problem throwing him on his head from 20 feet up.
Your idea to go off script?
- No. - Lance's?
- No, I mean-- - You mean what?
I didn't go off script.
So Mick brings his kid to the one match
that he's supposed to lose?
That was an accident.
We got Lance in the next room.
Any bets he'll throw you under the bus?
What do I care if Sil's in the other room?
This has nothing to do with me.
God, you're wastin' your time here.
Trust me, there's a lot I'd rather do
than talk to you, assclown.
[sighs] Assclown?
Who in this room owns a multimillion dollar empire?
Raise that hand again, you'll lower a stub.
FYI, the WIC attorney's been notified for Sil as well.
We'll let you know when he calls.
Why do you need a lawyer? You've something to hide?
It's my right, detective.
Saw a tape of, uh, Mick flying through that table.
- Mm-hmm. - It's cool stunt.
Yeah, first of many.
You get your TV deal after that match?
I sure did.
So really, everything you got
is because of Sil.
- Excuse me? - Sil was a genius.
It was his idea, right?
Throwing Mick off that scaffold?
Ideas don't happen unless they come from my brain.
I am the WIC.
Uh, you seem like a leech promoter to me.
Every move, every grunt, every punch in that ring
that's me.
I create everything.
Including Mick's fall?
[laughing]
Somethin' funny?
I can't believe I almost fell for that.
The good cop, bad cop.
'You two ought to be tag team partners.'
Mick must have been real pissed
about that fall you created.
He come talk to you after he could walk again?
I think I'm just gonna wait for my lawyer.
Is that okay with you?
Lawyer for the WIC.
Well, you can't rep Lance and Sil. Pick one.
Lance.
Well, how do I know you're a lawyer?
You could be anybody.
Doin' some digging on Sil.
Anything I could find.
No felonies, but..
A fender bender.
Twenty minutes after Mick's murder.
Check out the location.
Wyoming Avenue.
That's right near Juniata Park.
That's, what, about ten minutes from the docks?
Sil had a passenger with him.
Guess who?
[Valens] 'Uh, they were together'
the night Mick was murdered?
So who pulled the trigger?
Lawyers are on their way.
Got about ten minutes to figure it out.
You ever been to Juniata Park, Sil?
Um..
Uh, it's not a, not a trick question.
It's just that you were in an accident out there
uh, the night that Mick was killed.
Why were you with Lance?
Mick was your friend.
You're both single parents
doin' whatever it took to take care of your kids.
We had a lot in common.
Yeah, that's strange
'cause that-that isn't what Adam said.
'Your son.'
'Yeah, I tracked him down.'
You haven't seen him in a while, huh?
I see him when I can.
Every 15 years?
You must not try very hard.
I mean, he's right here in Philly.
I'd do anything for my son.
Except stick around.
'See, you preach about family.'
But it's Mick who was the one who was trying to be a good dad.
But don't you think his son deserves to know
what happened to him?
I went to see Mick that night.
Where? At the docks?
I heard what happened to his kid.
I went to the hospital.
[Rush] With Lance?
[Sil] No. Alone.
I told him that..
...I was sorry for the match.
For hurtin' him.
But Lance was gonna..
...promote the hell out of the rematch.
We'd both get rich, you know?
So, you leave the hospital, and Mick's still alive?
Then you hook up with Lance..
...he's dead.
Lance gave me my career.
And without Lance, I'd be nothin'.
You're living off of ten dollar autographs.
Uh, he's gonna get me back in the ring soon.
I'm only one match away from bein' on top again.
[chuckles]
When are you gonna wake up from the spell of that guy, Sil?
[door opens]
- Lawyer call yet? - Not yet.
In the meantime, thought you could tell us
what you were doing in Sil's car in Juniata Park
the night Mick was killed.
I'm sure my attorney would love to do it.
Why don't you go fetch him for me, ese?
Good cop, get out.
Wait, wait, where are you going?
See if your lawyer called.
Whoa, wait a minute!
Look, I-I didn't mean all that.
Brought an associate to represent Sil.
Got it.
They're both in the lobby.
Now?
Pinstripe suits, red tie.
Okay, got it.
Um, just sit tight
and let me see if I can get somebody to go down and get you.
- Somebody get me out of here! - Any more comments, tough guy?
'Cat got your tongue?'
[cellphone ringing]
Umm, I'm gonna get a soda. Want one?
Yeah.
Hey, Lance.
[panting]
- Let's take a walk. - Okay.
That guy is loco.
Tell me about it. It's that Latin temper.
[Lance] 'Yeah, yeah.'
[dramatic music]
So it looks like he beat you to it.
Uh, "Sil came and picked me up.
He told me he shot Mick by the docks."
That's, uh, Lance's signature, right?
[sighs]
But that's a lie.
Then what's the truth, Sil?
Okay, Sil, get up.
No. No.
Well, I talked to the DA. Your car, your gun.
Take a jury 20 minutes to convict you.
It was Lance.
Lance told me that Mick had agreed to do the stunt.
But he didn't.
Mick said if Lance wanted him to get back in the ring
he could come tell him himself.
You tell Lance that?
I told him that..
...Mick wanted to be with his kid.
His son was in a coma.
But Lance didn't care.
And you went along with whatever Lance said.
Well, we all did.
Except for Mick.
That's what pissed Lance off the most.
Next time I tell you to do something
you better damn well do it.
I can't do anything without you telling me.
And you know why? 'Cause that's how I want it.
[dramatic music]
Now where's that gun?
[music continues]
What the hell is your problem?
I finally bring my kid to a match
and you throw me through a table?
Last I checked, I make the rules.
Not for me.
I'm done dancing to your tune.
Okay, okay, you're pissed
that your kid saw you lose.
Fine. Okay, bring him to the next one.
It'll be the best match he's ever seen.
You will be the champion for the next two years.
No, thanks.
You leave when I ring the bell.
You got that?
We just got the TV deal, okay?
Do you know how much money
we are gonna make on the next match?
Clean the crap out of your ears.
I'm done!
Just-just can't handle it, is that it?
You'd rather be out here unloading cargo
and busting thumbs?
No more debt collecting.
All aboveboard now.
Oh, well, I'm sure your kid's real proud
to have a punk loser for a dad.
[grunts]
See what it feels like every night in the ring.
[dramatic music]
