like he only had one son.
184
00:08:18,062 --> 00:08:19,716
So what'd Jeff do for money?
185
00:08:19,803 --> 00:08:22,240
Worked as a towel boy
at a bathhouse.
186
00:08:22,327 --> 00:08:23,851
To really stick it to Dad.
187
00:08:23,938 --> 00:08:25,287
Didn't last too long, though.
188
00:08:25,374 --> 00:08:27,289
- What happened?
- There was some trouble there.
189
00:08:27,376 --> 00:08:29,552
I...I never knew
the whole story.
190
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:31,249
Would Artie know the details?
191
00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:32,860
Yeah, probably.
192
00:08:35,471 --> 00:08:38,126
Jeff was supposed to be passing
out towels in that place
193
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:41,564
instead, he was, uh,
posting warning signs.
194
00:08:41,651 --> 00:08:43,044
About AIDS?
195
00:08:43,131 --> 00:08:44,524
Well that must've gone
over big with the owner.

00:08:44,611 --> 00:08:46,177

197
00:08:46,264 --> 00:08:47,875
Artie, they need an answer.
198
00:08:47,962 --> 00:08:49,877
The white chair covers
or the light blue?
199
00:08:49,964 --> 00:08:51,313
Uh, this is Russ.
200
00:08:52,444 --> 00:08:53,533
What do you think?
201
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:58,189
White goes with a wedding.
202
00:08:59,582 --> 00:09:00,714
I like white, too.
203
00:09:03,281 --> 00:09:06,633
So was Jeff trying
to shut this bathhouse down?
204
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,677
Basically.
205
00:09:07,764 --> 00:09:09,070
He have any success?
206
00:09:09,157 --> 00:09:11,072
The fire was pretty effective.
207
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:12,595
What he burned the place?
208
00:09:12,682 --> 00:09:15,337
He never admitted it, but..
209
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:18,296
[Loverboy singing
"Working For The Weekend"]
210
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,435
- You could have killed people.
- You're killing people.
211
00:09:26,522 --> 00:09:27,784
This place is a hotbed
of disease.
212
00:09:27,871 --> 00:09:29,481
No one knows how it's spread.
213
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,658
Whoever set this fire
did a public service.
214
00:09:31,745 --> 00:09:33,485
"Whoever", I like that.
215
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:36,445
- Jeff, what's going on?
- This is my boss, Barney.
216
00:09:36,532 --> 00:09:39,013
- Who has no conscience.
- Let's go home, calm down.
217
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:40,667
Hey, hey, hey, Jeff.
218
00:09:40,754 --> 00:09:41,755
How are we going to take
care of this, huh?
219
00:09:41,842 --> 00:09:43,670
I didn't do anything.
220
00:09:43,757 --> 00:09:45,497
- I'll have you locked up.
- Hey, let's be reasonable.
221
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:47,195
Reasonable is you reaching
222
00:09:47,282 --> 00:09:49,719
into your dad's deep pockets
and compensating me.
223
00:09:49,806 --> 00:09:52,504
I don't have a dad anymore.
224
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:54,202
- You seem rational.
- I am.
225
00:09:54,289 --> 00:09:56,552
Why don't you talk
to your lunatic boyfriend
226
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:59,250
and stop him,
or I will!

'You ever see Barney
again after that?'

00:10:05,953 --> 00:10:08,956
I only hoped he was content
with just firing Jeff

00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:11,393
'cause there wasn't
any money to give him.
230

You float the Barney theory
with detectives in '83?
231
00:10:14,178 --> 00:10:16,572
Gave 'em his name.
232
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:17,747
Never heard back.
233
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:24,754

Bathhouses were hot in the '80s.

No one knew what
was coming down the pike.
238
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:35,896
And you made

239

00:10:43,904 --> 00:10:46,123
It was the turning point,
anyway.

245
00:10:48,299 --> 00:10:50,345

- Kid was a hothead.
- You a hothead too?
248

I can be.

The insurance paid
for all my losses.
250
00:10:58,788 --> 00:11:00,834
And Jeff got out
of my sight for good.
251
00:11:00,921 --> 00:11:04,098
This Jeff sounds like he pissed
off every other person he met.

00:11:04,185 --> 00:11:05,316
Roughly.

Jeff targeted in particular.

00:11:23,987 --> 00:11:26,033
- Talk? No thanks.
- Five minutes.
259
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,644
[chuckles]
I thought you said
you just wanted to talk.
260
00:11:30,951 --> 00:11:32,474
All that time you spend
in front of the mirror
261
00:11:32,561 --> 00:11:34,911
I know you've noticed this.
262
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:36,913
- It's nothing.
- You're sick.
263
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:37,958
I'm fine.
264
00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:39,394
Did you tell that guy
265
00:11:39,481 --> 00:11:40,874
you just had sex with
that you have it?
266
00:11:40,961 --> 00:11:42,005
[chuckles]
It's cancer
267
00:11:42,092 --> 00:11:43,964
and cancer's not contagious.
268
00:11:44,051 --> 00:11:46,401
You're purposely
giving it to people?
269
00:11:46,488 --> 00:11:48,795
- You're such a drama queen.
- What are you, a sociopath?

I think you're still upset
that we stopped. You and me.

Carlo, it kills people.
272
00:11:58,282 --> 00:12:00,197
Stay out of my way
273
00:12:00,284 --> 00:12:02,330

Jeff made these.
278
00:12:23,612 --> 00:12:25,657
Handed them out
around Queens Village.
279
00:12:27,616 --> 00:12:28,878

283
00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:47,984
At that pace,

to find out.
285
00:12:49,725 --> 00:12:51,596
Barney didn't know it?
286
00:12:51,683 --> 00:12:54,643
Now, this Carlo said some
about when "we stopped."
287
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:56,776
It sounded like him
and Jeff were together.
288
00:12:56,863 --> 00:12:58,299
Did Artie know that?
289
00:12:58,386 --> 00:13:00,910
And did Artie get
the bug from Jeff, who..
290
00:13:00,997 --> 00:13:02,564
...got it from Carlo?
291
00:13:02,651 --> 00:13:04,566
Sounds like the cops in '83
were on to something.

00:13:04,653 --> 00:13:06,698
Better go back
to the bride-to-be.
293
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,919
No, I think, technically,
they're both grooms.
294
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,185

Jeff and Carlo.

this palatable.

I think he purposely infected
hundreds of men in this city.

Nobody cared about
the "he'll kill you" part?

716
00:32:55,277 --> 00:32:56,626
No, you can't take
that to court.
717
00:32:56,713 --> 00:32:57,976
Now, we need a confession.
718
00:32:58,063 --> 00:33:00,065
He'll lawyer up
in record time, Scotty.
719
00:33:00,152 --> 00:33:02,371
Maybe not.
720
00:33:02,458 --> 00:33:06,767
I think, uh, Paul wants
to tell someone what he did.
721
00:33:06,854 --> 00:33:09,857
He put it on the quilt panel
he made for Jeff.
722
00:33:09,944 --> 00:33:12,120
"He was lost, and is found."
723
00:33:12,207 --> 00:33:13,730
[John Stillman]
'The Prodigal Son.'
724
00:33:13,817 --> 00:33:15,123
Someone want
to catch me up here?
725
00:33:15,210 --> 00:33:17,343
I, uh, missed all
of Sunday school.
726
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:19,998
It's a story about
two sons and a father.
727
00:33:20,085 --> 00:33:22,304
One son does everything
to please his father.
728
00:33:22,391 --> 00:33:24,176
- The other one..
- Bad.
729
00:33:24,263 --> 00:33:27,309
Goes off whoring and drinking,
shaming the family.
730
00:33:27,396 --> 00:33:30,051
While the good son
is home working the field.
731
00:33:30,138 --> 00:33:33,141
Then one day the bad son
wants to come back home.
732
00:33:33,228 --> 00:33:35,796
'And the father
instantly forgives him'
733
00:33:35,883 --> 00:33:39,060
welcomes him,
and gives him his fatted calf.
734
00:33:39,147 --> 00:33:40,409
All his stuff.
735
00:33:40,496 --> 00:33:42,890
Which makes
the good, dutiful son
736
00:33:42,977 --> 00:33:45,458
very, very angry.
737
00:33:55,207 --> 00:33:56,425
I have a meeting in ten minutes.
738
00:33:56,512 --> 00:33:57,861
Not today, Paul.
739
00:33:59,602 --> 00:34:00,821
What are you doing?
740
00:34:00,908 --> 00:34:02,997
Telling you a story.
741
00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:05,739
Then we want you
to tell us a story.
742
00:34:05,826 --> 00:34:07,784
Sorry, you're losing me.

00:34:07,871 --> 00:34:11,136
"He was lost, and is found."
744

The Prodigal Son?
745
00:34:18,012 --> 00:34:20,058
Wendy, get Ben Kelton
on the phone.
746
00:34:21,407 --> 00:34:23,583
I think you should talk
to my attorney.
747
00:34:23,670 --> 00:34:26,020
Look at that kingdom.
748
00:34:26,107 --> 00:34:27,369
All yours.
749
00:34:28,718 --> 00:34:30,068
The good son.
750
00:34:30,155 --> 00:34:33,332
You sacrificed for it.
751
00:34:33,419 --> 00:34:35,334
[Lilly]
'Gave up your own desires.'
752

[Scotty]
'Did everything right.'
753
00:34:36,944 --> 00:34:38,206
And earned this.
754
00:34:38,293 --> 00:34:40,600
While Jeff went out and played.
755
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:42,384
'Defied your father.'
756
00:34:42,471 --> 00:34:44,299
I loved my brother.
757
00:34:44,386 --> 00:34:47,172
As long as he was
exiled from the family.
758
00:34:47,259 --> 00:34:50,653
But what if Jeff went
to your dad for help..
759
00:34:50,740 --> 00:34:52,177
...and they made amends?
760
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:56,616
What if dad
welcomed him home?
761
00:34:58,444 --> 00:35:01,316
Would leave you
on the outside.
762
00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:03,753
You couldn't risk that.
763
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,452
So you made sure
that meeting never happened.
764
00:35:06,539 --> 00:35:09,063
At least, that's the version
Paul likes to tell himself.
765
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:10,934
- It's cleaner.
- Straighter.
766
00:35:11,021 --> 00:35:13,415
But it was simpler
than that, wasn't it, Paul?
767
00:35:16,244 --> 00:35:17,637
You had a secret.
768
00:35:19,726 --> 00:35:21,380
You were terrified
769
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:24,252
Jeff would tell dad.
770
00:35:24,339 --> 00:35:25,732
Come on, Paul.
771
00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:28,517
You want to make it right.
772
00:35:30,911 --> 00:35:33,827
You confessed
20 years ago.
773
00:35:36,264 --> 00:35:38,571
[woman on intercom]
'Ben Kelton on the line.'
774
00:35:41,182 --> 00:35:43,750
Tell him..
775
00:35:43,837 --> 00:35:46,056
[sighs]
...I'll call him back.
776

'Yes, sir.'

I...tried to talk to Jeff.
778
00:35:57,242 --> 00:35:58,286
- Thanks for treating.
- Yeah.

00:35:59,853 --> 00:36:02,203
pick up some
mocha-chip for Artie.
781
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:03,683
I'd like to be at dinner
tomorrow night
782
00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:05,163
with you and Dad.
783
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:07,556
- I have to do it alone.
- Do what?
784
00:36:07,643 --> 00:36:08,862
Get Artie in the drug trial.
785
00:36:08,949 --> 00:36:10,994
- But how?
- Any way I can.
786
00:36:11,081 --> 00:36:14,259
Beg, bribe, blackmail.
787
00:36:14,346 --> 00:36:16,043
Would that include
ruining my life?
788
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:18,176
What are you talking about?
789
00:36:25,052 --> 00:36:28,925
You saw me with Finch.
790
00:36:29,012 --> 00:36:32,538
Think I didn't know
you were a closet case?
791
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:34,496
It was one summer.
792
00:36:38,370 --> 00:36:40,023
Dad can't know.
793
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:41,503
I would never out you.
794
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:44,027
You threatened to out
a room full of men.
795
00:36:44,114 --> 00:36:45,768
- They're not my brother.
- I know you.
796
00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:48,554
You can't control yourself
when you want something.
797

- Don't be crazy.
- He'll piss you off.
798
00:36:49,946 --> 00:36:51,861
You'll do anything
to help Artie.

Paul, I won't hurt you.

but you will!

- Cool off?
- Go home to your wife.

No. I won't let you.
