suspenseful music
Just sell the merchandise.
You realize we could just take that from you, right?
[Cathy] Go ahead. Go ahead. Try it.
[Isaac] Hey, lady.
Came to give you what you want.
So she takes my hand, and...
she shoves it in the doorframe,
and she slams the door on my fingers.
I'm begging her, "Please stop, Ma."
And that's the night I burned our house down.
tense music
[siren wailing]
[Jackie] You say the word,
and I will find Anton Campbell, and he will suffer.
You-you'd screw me over
just to see me get thrown in jail.
Where the fuck is Anton?
[Chris] So you and your 20-something-year-old kid,
you're hanging out all night.
What are you doing?
[Grace] We ate pizza, watched TV.
-What toppings? -Pepperoni.
And what'd you watch?
In Living Color.
Then I went into my bedroom and tried to go to sleep
to the sound of his video games.
Uh, Mortal Kombat, something like that.
Then I yelled at Anton to turn the volume down,
and he snapped back,
"Mama, it's just nine p.m. You ain't that old.
You just mad I didn't ask you to play."
[chuckles]
So he was with you, 7:15 that night?
Yes, at the time that Siobhan Quays was shot,
my son Anton Campbell was at home with me.
All right, you're good to go. Thanks.
[Grace sighs]
That's where I feel my lies, too--
in my chest and my back.
The thing is, you know, when the shit goes down,
you're gonna be swirling around that bowl
right alongside little Anton,
and this shit's not going down easy neither.
Mr. Rohr, I understand why you act the way you do.
-Oh. -Your sense of entitlement.
But you ain't fooling no one.
You've got a gun where your guts should be.
Your power's got nothing to do with your actual worth.
Everything that's wrong in this town
lies right there in that smug white face.
I'm getting the sinking feeling that you don't like me.
All the people you point your pistol at
usually nicer to you?
That was a nice touch in there-- Mortal Kombat.
Kind of like what we're in right now.
What I said is true.
All right.
Well, let's say that I wanted
to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I don't, but let's say that I did.
If what you said is true, why is your son hiding?
Anton's been beaten once by the BPD.
Maybe he's afraid he'll be forced to confess
to something he didn't do just to save his own life.
[footsteps departing]
You've known Siobhan since she was a kid, right?
You visit her in the hospital yet?
[monitor beeping]
[Eloise] Surgeon says Siobhan's healing nicely.
He's keeping her on antibiotics.
The only other thing is rest.
Time heals.
-A-and? -There's still a heartbeat.
So, according to Callie,
all things considered, we're lucky,
hard as that may be to feel right now.
Still, there's a VIP table in hell for who did this.
[indistinct chatter over PA]
-Thank you. -Yeah.
-Thanks for staying with her. -Of course.
[Chris] Hey.
Did you find Anton's Fleetwood?
And the car that I hit-- the red Honda Civic--
did the owner ID Anton?
No to both, unfortunately.
Doesn't matter--my testimony's enough for an open-and-shut.
[Chris] Maybe not so shut.
Anton's got an alibi.
-That's impossible. -[Chris sighs]
Grace Campbell claims she was with him all evening.
No. No, bullshit.
I need to talk to her.
[Chris] T-that's not gonna happen.
Fine. Fine, look, we need to go search--
D...
let me go be a cop.
You go be a husband.
[monitor beeping]
Peonies? [chuckles]
I didn't think you could top those winter white lilies.
[Decourcy chuckles]
Mm, even prettier than our wedding day.
-Just like you, babe. -Mm.
How you feel?
Grateful.
I'm focusing on the positive. I have to for the baby.
Let's use this ugly incident as fuel...
to make a change
for our child.
[chuckles]
Can you believe we get to say that now?
"Our child."
[monitor beeping]
-Where are you? -Hmm?
Back at the shooting?
Um...
What are you not telling me?
I-I don't want to cause you stress.
Mm-mm. The silence is the stress.
I know who shot you.
-I saw him. -[door opens]
Who?
[nurse] Me again.
Hello, Mr. Quays.
You know the drill.
Let's get you up, huh?
-[bed whirring] -Okay.
Keep your sunny side up.
Thank you.
Decourcy...
who shot me?
M-maybe you don't need to know, right?
All I ever got out of knowing was a heart full of hate.
Don't make decisions for me.
Anton Campbell.
He was aiming for me.
I could say "I'm sorry" a thousand times, Siobhan,
but I'd never be sorry enough.
This meeting doesn't concern you.
-And yet, here I am. -[door closes]
[Dan sighs]
You need me on the Campbell case.
[scoffs]
I'm trying to think of a nice-ish way to say
"we really fucking don't."
Grace Campbell is lying.
[Dan] Her word against yours.
Her wor--
a lie from someone who wasn't even there
who's shielding her son
versus the firsthand account of the intended victim?
Or beloved, put-upon activist versus angry, unpopular ADA.
[Chris] D, my guys can handle this.
-Have you found Anton yet? -No.
Then what the fuck you still doing sitting there?
Hey, I'm with you.
If my wife had been hurt, I'd be ranting, too.
-Ranting? -But you have
to settle the fuck down.
Don't tell me to settle the fuck down!
I saw my wife get shot!
Which is exactly why you can't be involved!
You're acting like you never spent a day in law school.
I already made the mistake of letting you
handle the Campbell case,
even though your wife was representing them.
This? This is far worse.
If you can't understand the conflict of interest here,
then you simply don't want to understand.
I assign you this case and you screw up,
I'm the laughingstock of Boston.
And you, back in Brooklyn, shining shoes.
[sniffs]
Okay, one, I never shined shoes
a goddamn day in my entire life.
Two, I won't screw up.
Because you're not on the case.
Get out of my office, Ward.
I can fire you, remember?
Sergeant Caysen,
I'm asking as a concerned citizen,
how do you plan to locate Anton Campbell?
You need to trust me to do my job.
Tru--
So you both expect me to trust you,
but when I throw the boomerang,
the fucking thing never comes back my way.
[Dan] Trust this, Ward--
you're a fucking pain in my ass,
but I will not let you self-destruct!
Soul
My savior God
To thee
How great Thou art
[playing note]
Oh, hey.
What do you think? Am I getting better?
Yeah, sounds perfect.
Why's everything got to be so churchy, though?
Well, it's a church choir, Benny.
We're not gonna be singing Metallica.
Why? What if God's a metalhead?
[both chuckle]
Hey, can you lend me some money?
I got to send in this application
before the deadline.
Just think, if I get in, you can sing in peace,
won't have me bothering you anymore.
Oh, I like you bothering me.
Well, how much do you need?
[Benedetta] Five, ten bucks.
I got to overnight this thing.
I can remember when a postage stamp was four cents.
[chuckles]
Mom, we haven't talked about Dad,
what he said the other day--
burning down the house.
Well, what's there to talk about?
Uh, I don't know.
I've been going to NA meetings, you've been going to Al-Anon.
Maybe he should see somebody.
Yeah, well, I know you're concerned, Benny, but...
t-there's no way that Jackie Rohr's
gonna sit on a couch and talk to a shrink.
Yeah, but if we both suggest it to him,
-then maybe-- -He's just going to ignore us.
Or he's gonna launch into some story
about the Angiulo brothers.
I-- [sighs]
Take care of your business.
Yeah.
[door opens, closes]
[indistinct chatter]
[Cathy] Hey.
I thought we were doing business.
Suddenly you go MIA?
My supply is tapped out.
Then what the fuck are you selling, oregano?
Go back to your slice of town, lady.
-Oh! Uh-uh. No. -Leave me be.
Not until I get some mud.
[Isaac] I said fuck the fuck off.
-[glass clinking] -[grunts]
[grunts]
God damn it. Fuck.
[indistinct chatter]
[choir] How great Thou art
How great Thou
Art
[Lisa] Oh!
Better and better every day.
Thank you all. See you Wednesday.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, what are you doing now?
Want to grab a drink?
A drink? No, I'd like about a dozen.
[laughs] Are you worried about something?
Um...
n-no, uh, singing makes me thirsty.
That's all. [chuckles]
Okay, well, how about, uh, Dorian's?
You know, that place on Hancock?
Yeah, yeah, Dorian's. Um...
Hi. Hello.
But, you know, I just remembered that I can't today.
How's Wednesday? Five o'clock?
-Yeah, sure. -Okay.
[Diarmuid] I'm not talking to you here.
[Maeve] Then where should we go?
The rectory? The Ritz?
Afternoon, Mrs. Tobin.
That's a lovely dress, Gladys.
Listen, if you think I'll just disappear,
that this is all gonna go away,
you've got a fucking screw loose.
What happened happened.
This is now. There are rules.
I'm telling you-- keep quiet and leave me alone.
Jenny, you really been standing out among the group.
Ah--is that a good thing,
or are you telling me to pipe down?
-A very good thing. -Oh.
I want you to sing a solo next Sunday.
Uh, take a look
at "By the Blood that Flowed from Thee".
Oh, God. I--gosh.
-[both laugh] -I-I don't know.
I do. You'd be superb.
Yeah, I'm honored you would ask--
thrilled, you know, but I--
all those people staring at me, I get a little nervous.
I will take "no" for an answer.
Do some soul searching, get back to me.
Okay, just-- just don't count on me.
[exhales deeply]
[Meg] Unfortunately, that number is correct.
Christ.
I trip over my own feet, I end up owing over $400
for some piece-of-shit stitches?
Says amount due--$400. [chuckles]
Guess the rest is implied, huh?
[scoffs]
It's just the bills just keep on coming.
You got kids?
Yeah, I do, too.
It's beautiful, right?
All the love, the joy.
You got a husband?
Mine's dead.
You know, I'm on my own, just trying to get these three kids
through this shitstorm of a...
frickin' tornado he left behind.
Look, um, is there any way
that you might be able to help me out here?
Meg?
Surely the swipe of a pen, the push of a button,
something that you can do to--
to ease my pain here just a little?
I could refile with your insurance.
You think I'd be sitting here wasting my time
if I--if I had insurance?
Then there's nothing I can do.
You know, not for nothing, but maybe Dr. fucking Dolittle
should've told me how much this garbage was gonna cost.
I would've stitched up my own frickin' hand.
It must be 50 frickin' dollars a stitch!
Can I give some back? Can I return 'em? Huh?
-I'll take 'em out right here. -I'm sorry, Mrs. Ryan.
Fucking shit.
Fucking bullshit place.
Fuck!
[indistinct chatter]
[Chris] Hey.
Terrance!
Bet you know who we're looking for.
I ain't seen Anton, Sergeant Caysen.
No one has.
[Chris] Kenny.
Walk with me.
Psst.
Get your hands out of your fucking pockets.
You too.
You heard what Anton did, right?
[scoffs] Maybe.
But how you know that DA didn't shoot his own wife?
Hey.
You live in this building? Put that down.
You live in this building?
You know the Campbell family?
No.
Thanks. Been real helpful.
[person] Yo, man, what's the matter with you?
[indistinct chatter]
[blues music playing]
So I heard old man Dan's got you warming the bench.
Just when I thought life couldn't get any worse,
here you are.
Fuck Guy Dan. Fuck Caysen.
Oh, what, are we supposed to be friends all of a sudden?
Hmm. I'm the only pal you got right now.
Okay, okay, well, then tell me, pal,
-where's Anton? -I got nothing.
Yeah. Didn't think so.
Grace Campbell, man, she's-- I mean, she's out there.
She's trying to get HUD grant money
for the people in Braxton Summit.
She's the reason those kids have ball courts
and working fire extinguishers and...
and self-respect.
Why are you listing her accolades?
Last I remember, we were trying to destroy Grace Campbell.
Ah, I guess I'm just trying to remind you and...
and myself that, uh,
she's a force to be reckoned with.
After all her accomplishments, she's still out there
trying to do more for more people.
Not bad for someone like Grace.
What?
I'm just waiting to see you
try to wiggle your way out of this one.
What you mean "someone like Grace"?
What do you--what do you mean someone resourceful?
No, I'm-I'm saying that the woman
has had every disadvantage.
Listen, if-if I was dealt the same hand,
I would've gone to live in the rain forest
and painted myself, worn briefs made out of bark,
and learned to weave and dance around.
The tribesmen that stayed in the wilderness--
they probably got wind of what happened to Black people
in this country and said,
"If that's what you get with air conditioning
and Seinfeld, no, thanks."
So you see? It was a compliment.
Only you would think what you said was a compliment.
On the other hand,
living in Boston does have its advantages.
We invented the telephone, the microwave,
and marshmallow fucking fluff.
And racism.
There's no patent on that.
I'm starting to wonder what exactly I'm trying to do.
And how do I see myself?
A fucking spoke in a wheel that'll roll over a kid
till he turns into Anton Campbell.
Even with a mom like Grace, kid just got knocked down
till all he could feel was fear,
a fear that wants me dead.
You know, he hates where I am when he sees me.
Being a foreigner, and...
and as a result, Siobhan got hurt.
[jazzy music playing]
If you could go back,
give up your whole career, do something different,
just so what happened to your daughter didn't happen,
would you?
[sighs] Can't go back.
Neither of us can.
I'm asking earnestly.
Um...
you're talking about your wife, not your kid.
It's different.
In a way, we are talking about my kid.
Siobhan's pregnant.
[scoffs]
Well, congratulations, D.
You just got yourself a gaping chest wound
that'll never close.
Hey, no one leaves here unless I say so.
Now you acting hard?
After hiding in your headphones
while me and Trey out there hustling?
Cops are roaming the streets.
We make one wrong move,
they find us, and they find 'Ton.
[Isaac] So what?
Anton's your blood, man, not mine.
The fuck you say to me?
[Jermaine] Might want to keep your mouth shut
and keep that dumb shit from spewing out.
tense music
Dumb how? Only a nigga with a death wish
is gonna shoot at a fucking ADA.
[knock at door]
Shh.
[Junior] Come on. It's that motherfucker.
[person] Yo, he on the left!
Kill his ass, get his ass.
Two more, two more.
[person] They in the front right there.
[indistinct shouting]
Ah!
-Come on, let's move! -[person] Way to work.
-Way to work. -[person 2] Get the bag, man.
[person] All that shit, let's go.
[person breathing sharply]
-[sighs] -[door creaking]
[knocks on door] Professor Hastings?
I'm a friend of your daughter's and your son-in-law.
I also happen to be the fella who'll stop at nothing
to find justice for Siobhan.
You absolutely must be Jackie Rohr.
Yeah, so you won't be surprised
that I'm here to talk to you about Grace Campbell.
Mm-hmm. Fine.
You talk, I'll listen.
[door closes]
Uh, you know, everywhere I go, all I hear is the good,
which, if you ask me, is mighty suspicious.
If Grace was so perfect,
then how come nobody's even jealous enough
to make up shit about her?
Everything I've done for this city,
nobody has a nice word to say about me.
But Grace, pah, they wouldn't change a hair on her head.
And you know who else got such glowing reviews?
Jerry Angiulo.
You had to love that guy, 'cause if you didn't,
he'd have people that would kill you.
[scoffing]
So I've been reading, uh, a lot of back issues
of The Bay State Banner, Rebellion News.
You and Grace, wow, you-- you've been
through the best of times and the worst of times, huh?
Oh, must've been a lot of trips to the powder room...
[chuckles] ...swapping stories, intimate stories,
secrets.
Sorting through Grace's dirty linens won't help you.
Mm.
So you're saying there are dirty linens.
Grace never told me anything
because there was nothing for her to tell.
Don't bother with her past.
[sighs]
"The great force of history comes from the fact
that we carry it within us,
that we are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways,
and history is literally present
in all that we do."
[chuckles] Yeah.
Brush up on Baldwin
before you come see the Black professor--
that's real cute.
You must be a fun teacher...
inspiring.
Hmm, maybe I'm inspiring you to be on your way.
Okay.
Fine, well, you know,
forgive me for thinking that you might want to help me
take down the family that was responsible
for shooting your only daughter.
Mr. Rohr.
Maybe you act dumb, or maybe you really are.
Grace has given her life to the service of others,
which means she doesn't have a dime.
So ask yourself,
where did Grace get the cash to bail Anton out of jail?
Now, I don't know where she found that money.
Twenty-five hundred dollars
doesn't fall like manna from the clouds.
When I say, "Forget about her past,"
I mean live in the now.
You see, now, that's inspiring.
You should put that on a magnet.
[dog barking in the distance]
[Tara] Cathy, your wrist. What happened?
-Did you try to...? -[scoffs]
What, try to kill myself?
No.
[chuckles] No, no.
I, uh--I fell. [chuckles]
And I wasn't even bombed. [chuckles]
Look, I'm sorry about the shit your family's going through.
Ain't been easy for us either since Sheik got back.
He's still shaky.
Yeah.
Look...
Tara, Sheik, I'm, uh...
...I'm just gonna say this to youse.
Um...
the widows took my salon.
I got no income.
Cath, tell us what we can do. Anything.
Within reason.
I was making money,
but my source dried up.
Making how?
Wherever you used to cop...
...uh...
...could you take me there?
Sheik, not for the drugs.
I'm not trying to--oh, God.
I'm not trying to do them. I just--
I want to buy them and sell them.
No.
We'll help, but not that way.
[scoffs]
That's funny, you had no problem
knocking on my door asking for stolen cash.
Now you want to get all holy on me when I need a hand?
We can loan you some money, but I--
I don't want your charity. I don't want your pity.
What goes around comes around, Cath.
You threw cash our way out of pity, right?
Stay for dinner. I made pot pie.
[refrigerator door opens]
Fucking pot pie.
You think I want to sit here
and have a home-cooked fucking meal with you?
Tara, I got a dead husband.
I got a dead brother-in-law.
Both of my parents, they're dead, too.
You know what? And good for them--
not having to see their daughter like this.
I got nothing and no one,
and that is not the girl I set out to be.
The only thing I got left in this entire goddamn world
is three kids sitting home
wondering where their next fucking pot pie is coming from.
[scoffs]
They--those three
are my only fucking purpose left in this bullshit life,
so spare me your fucking judgment!
I am doing anything possible
to keep the shittiest roof over their fucking heads.
I am spurting blood,
and you are offering me a fucking Band-Aid?
Fuck you.
Fuck your loan. Fuck your charity.
Fuck you both.
[door opens, closes]
[door opens]
Cathy.
[Cathy] Fuck.
-Cathy, wait up. -Oh, so you can talk, huh?
Had me thinking you were on fucking mute in there.
Really?
You, too, with the fucking pot pie?
Relax, it's just my ticket out of the house.
You got mixed up with some dealers?
That who killed Jimmy?
Look, Jimmy had a lot of anger pointed in his direction.
Don't matter who pulled the trigger.
He killed himself.
I've been clean for a while now, Cathy.
Tara likes me better this way. So do I.
Neither one of us wants to fuck that up is all.
Good for you. [sniffles]
I mean that.
If not for you, for your kids.
It's the least we can do.
Doing the least, huh?
-How noble. -[sighs]
You look like you had a shit day.
You gonna go home, cook for 'em with a busted wrist?
I'll get the dish back to you, all right?
Hey, wait.
dramatic music
I can introduce you.
Get you the connect.
But you got to make sure I leave empty-handed, okay?
We never speak of this again, and you--
and you don't bring back that dish.
Ever.
Okay?
[Benedetta] Ma, I'm leaving.
[Jenny] Uh, the car needs a little gas.
Oh, I'm good. I got a ride.
-With who? -A guy.
Oh, a guy named...?
Faust Aquino.
Faust? That's an asshole name.
Yeah, kind of like Jackie Rohr.
[Jackie] Where's he taking you?
The movies.
[Jackie] Uh-oh!
Relax, Dad. I'm going with a group of people.
What are you going to see? That Ninja Turtle thing?
-[door opens] -Oh--
[door closes]
Good for you, holding back.
[chuckles] I know you're dying to go out there
and get a good look at this Faust character.
Oh, God, me?
You're the one about to bust out into a sweat.
-[Jackie scoffs] -Jesus.
But, hey, look, Benny sent out
her college application today, okay?
She's gonna be on her own soon.
[sighs] I'm not so sure about this NYU thing, Jen.
What? All of a sudden, you don't want to
-send your daughter to college? -Jenny, I-I'm serious.
We couldn't keep her safe when she's under our roof.
How the fuck are we supposed to take care of her
when she's down in fucking Manhattan?
-We believe in her is how. -[sighs]
This is her chance to be her own woman,
not just our daughter.
This is--it's like a next step.
Yeah, but you're thinking
about the cute version of college,
where you're drinking cappuccinos
wearing a fucking turtleneck sweater.
I'm talking about the bad shit.
I'm talking about overgrown teenage boys
looking down, realizing that they got a dick
for the first time and they can point it
anywhere they want.
They're-- they're fucking Neanderthals.
Yeah, but you went to college and law school.
Exactly, so I should know.
My roommates used to hang around the 4 a.m. bars
at closing time, waiting for the drunk girls
to spill out onto the sidewalk,
and they would call dibs on 'em.
"I got the one with the big tits. I got the--"
-You know, and so on. -Mm.
They called this extracurricular activity
"scooping the slops."
Right, yeah, yeah.
This was your roommates doing this,
while you were probably sitting in a library
reading the Bible.
I was alone in the library,
seeing as I liked books better than people,
and I never scooped no slops,
and that right there is the God's honest truth.
Okay, well, Benny's strong.
She takes after me.
Well, then she's capable of anything.
[scoffs] What's that supposed to mean?
[cell phone ringing]
Yeah, what's up?
Dr. Dre's "Deep Cover"
[car door closes]
Tonight's the night I get in some shit
Yeah
Deep Cover on the incognito tip
Killin' motherfuckers if I have to
Peelin' caps too 'cause you niggas know
I'm comin' at you
I guess that's part of the game
But I feel for the nigga who think he just gonna come
And change things with the swiftness
So get it right with the quickness
And let me handle my business, yo
I'm on a mission, and my mission won't stop
Until I get the nigga maxin' at the top
'Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker
But I gives a fuck, 'cause I'm goin' Deep Cover
[gate squeaks, closes]
Anton?
Kel.
Finally.
Thanks, brother.
Your husband was a good man.
And by good, I mean Frankie was trustworthy.
Are you trustworthy?
Trust me and find out.
All right.
Sheik...
beat it.
Go.
[door closes]
Okay.
You want to tell me why you handling
Copeland Crew like a pussy?
'Ton, wasn't nothing I could've done.
I swear. Junior was--
Fine, ain't nothing you could've done.
But there's something you could do.
Since when we get shot at and not shoot back, Kel?
I don't know, man, since the cops been after you?
Cops always on our asses. Ain't nothing changed.
You shot Siobhan Quays, and ain't nothing changed?
Anger got the best of me.
[scoffs]
You got to leave town, man.
Ain't no other way.
I ain't leaving shit.
Boston's my city as much as theirs.
[Kelvin] Not true.
You in a dank basement with mayo on your face,
and they outside in the sunshine.
Look, if you don't care
about you or me, fine.
But you got to do what's best for Ma.
I'll leave...
soon as I get my money back from them Copeland bitches.
How is that gonna keep Ma safe?
If we don't take care of this now and I skip town,
Junior Senegel's gonna come after you and Mama.
And I ain't gonna be around to stop him.
Kel.
We hit Copeland back.
Then you leave town.
[sighs softly]
[door opens]
Ah, Jesus.
Kick. [chuckles]
You scared me.
Can I eat what's ever on the counter in the foil?
Huh? Uh, yeah, sure.
Go ahead. Uh, it's fine.
Tony and Marie already ate. Have as much as you want.
Do you want any?
No, no, it's all right, sweetheart.
I-I'm not hungry right now.
You want to watch TV?
Uh, maybe later, hon, okay?
When are we gonna see Dad again?
[sighs] Uh...
listen, sweetheart, I got to be honest with you.
We're not going back there anymore, okay?
dramatic music
[sighs]
Ooh. So, you know, I want to find my dad,
you know, confront him, but-- but Ma's no help, you know?
She practically blackmailed me.
You could hire somebody to search for him,
like a private detective.
With a husband in the FBI? Jackie would have a shit fit.
Wait, get Jackie to locate him.
Believe me, Jackie has no desire
to help me find my father.
Oh, thank you.
That was adorable, Jenny,
how you took an hour and 100 sips
to drink a single Guinness,
but you're gonna drink this one proper--
-in four giant swigs, okay? -You serious?
I-I thought that four-sip thing
was made up by the Irish to torture American tourists.
[Maeve] No, I only want to see four lines
of foam on the glass when you're done.
To singing a solo on Sunday.
Oh, God, no, I can't. I can't.
Come on, you're coddin' me.
No--the church'd be filled with my neighbors,
who will want to see me fail.
Hell, my-my mom would probably show up.
No, really, if I said yes,
I'd probably want to jump out of the choir loft
and escape out the back door.
Trust me--no, you'll just see a flash.
[Maeve] Okay, look at me, Rohr.
You're doing that solo,
or I'll throw you off the choir loft.
[indie pop music playing]
[glasses clink]
Ugh.
[Maeve] Not bad at all!
It's like drinking a loaf of bread.
[both laughing]
First time we met, I brought you coffee.
When you gonna hit me back?
I'm guessing that means no news...
again.
-[Jackie] All right. -[door closes]
Anton is playing hide-and-seek, or maybe he skipped town
or got disappeared like Jimmy Hoffa.
I don't fuckin'--
Jackie, I've heard your theories--I need facts.
Okay, fine, fine, fine. Let's take two steps back.
Anton gets arrested,
Grace raises an awful lot
of bail money pretty fucking quick.
Now, assuming that she used her son's drug money--
No, mm-mm. No way.
[Jackie] Easy for Mama to get.
Tough for Uncle to trace.
Siobhan's known this woman a lifetime.
She believes Grace just couldn't face
what her sons were up to until now.
I thought you told me Grace was smart.
Ah, children are a blind spot. You said so yourself.
Well...
the only thing worse than being blind
is having sight with no vision.
Maybe she used a bail bond.
No, no, I-I checked
with the, uh, neighborhood bondsmen.
She made inquiries,
but she didn't-- she didn't follow through.
She wouldn't have any luck getting that kind of cash
outside of Roxbury.
I mean, what--what other money does she have access to?
I mean, what would I do? What would I do?
-What would I do? -I don't want to know.
[snaps fingers] Steal.
And I wouldn't need a stocking cap to do it.
Just a blank check and a pen.
Braxton Summit?
Man, come on, that community means everything to her.
She'd never steal from those people.
Yeah, on good day, sure. No, of course not.
Hey, do you know how the Incredible Hulk came to be?
Jack Kirby saw a woman lifting her car off a baby.
With her kid's life on the line, this lady did something
that she would never be capable of before.
[Decourcy] Hysterical strength.
Grace's firstborn son is pinned
under the proverbial Mack truck,
and you best believe she's gonna lift
that fucking thing up-- she don't care how.
In her mind, she borrowed.
Thinking she can get the money back
before Anton goes to trial.
We need to subpoena
the Tenant Association's bank records.
[Decourcy] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can prove that Grace stole the money,
then we can force her to retract
her statement absolving Anton.
[Jackie] And tell us where the fucker is hiding.
[knock at door]
[Bobby] Yo, Jackie.
Bobby, give me something good.
Just finished comparing the ballistics
from the Siobhan Quays shooting to the ballistics
from the Raina Allen Valentine homicide.
Rounds didn't come from the same gun.
They're not a match.
Bobby, go to hell.
Great.
We'll be there together for eternity.
Fuck.
What are you expecting, good news?
Of course Anton tossed the guns.
You know, you've gotten very pessimistic
over the last year.
Boston has that effect on people.
Okay, look, you know the bullet doesn't match.
I know the bullet doesn't match.
Grace only knows what we tell her.
And that's how we get her to admit that she lied.
A lie to catch a lie?
That's almost biblical.
[Jackie] Yeah.
-Which way are you? -Oh, back there.
Okay. I'm that way.
Ah.
This was great fun. You're a delight.
[both laugh]
Hey, you know what? Let me give you a ride.
Oh, no, no, I have a short walk home.
No, I-I am so good to drive. I promise.
I saw you downing that Guinness in there.
[Jenny laughs]
I'll stay on foot, if you please.
Hey, if I'm a little tipsy, whose fault is that?
I'll be sure to confess my sin to Father Doyle.
-[laughs] -Oh. Say "hi" to him for me.
[both] Good night.
[person] Hey!
-Come here, you cunt. -[Maeve gasps]
Oi! Stop!
Fuck off!
Bastard! Ah!
Ow! Let go of me!
Hey, fuck off!
Ow! Fucking help!
Hey! Get your fucking hands off me--
[Jenny] Hey, get away from her!
[Maeve] Help!
[Jenny] Oh, my God.
-Get the fuck off her! -[person] Fuck off!
[Maeve squealing]
[Jenny grunts]
[person groans]
[breathing heavily]
What the hell was that?
Uh, ex-boyfriend.
[breathing heavily]
[Jenny] What's going on?
Are you in some kind of trouble?
Not after you came in on fire like the bloody MorrÃ­gan.
Maeve, Maeve, if you really know that guy,
he might try it again.
We should call the police-- or, you know,
I could have Jackie track this asshole down--
No, no, no, no, just take me home
and forget what you saw.
Please.
[Grace] We will need twice as many trees.
[Jackie clears throat]
Agent Rohr.
[Jackie] A subpoena for the Tenants' Association
financial records.
Grace, I'm here out of respect to give you the heads-up
about a target letter that's coming your way.
You're under investigation for embezzlement
for stealing from the United States government.
Excuse me for a moment. [chuckles]
On the upside, I got some sway
with the U.S. Attorney's office.
I could make this whole inquiry hit a dead end,
I mean, if you tell me right now where Anton is.
[door closes]
I can't do that 'cause I don't know.
[Jackie] You could find him.
That bail money long gone,
sooner or later, you're gonna get caught,
either by me or by the IRS.
You're gonna have no place left to turn.
If I was you, I would cut my losses right now.
You really want to sacrifice everything you've built,
everything that you've worked on,
just to save an ungrateful son?
There you go jumping to conclusions again.
You do not know my son.
[Jackie] I know enough.
I would rather die than to let my boy--
my innocent boy--suffer.
Oh, you want to talk about suffering?
Siobhan Quays was shot.
Raina Allen before that.
A child, for fuck's sake.
Tell me, who's your innocent boy
gonna hurt next?
My son had nothing to do with any of that.
We know the Allens.
Anton, Kelvin, and I were saddened by Raina's death.
My sons visited her parents--
The bullet that killed Raina Allen
and the bullet that they pulled from Siobhan's shoulder
came from the same gun-- Anton's gun, which we have.
[drawer closes]
These are dated over a month ago.
It's all we got.
We work quarterly.
Well, I guess I'm gonna have to subpoena the bank.
[door opens]
Oh, hey, I hear you're applying for that HUD grant.
Twenty million dollars, wow, that's a nice chunk of change
for the Braxton Summit Projects.
Folks are gonna celebrate the woman
that was able to secure that kind of grant, huh?
Maybe even overlook her wrongdoings.
I got strings I could pull, Grace.
I could pull hard.
But again...
I need to know where Anton is.
Again, I don't know.
So retract your statement.
I told the truth.
[sighs]
Not gonna be much help to your boys
behind bars in Danbury...
for the next decade.
[footsteps departing]
Hey, Father.
Jenny. Hi.
-Hey, do you have a minute? -Of course.
Okay.
Hear you might be singing a solo this Sunday?
That's grand.
Yeah, don't expect too much.
You here for a pep talk, then?
No, actually, uh, I need some advice.
All right, I'll do my best.
Um...
Uh, I...
I-I think a friend of mine is in trouble.
I don't want to gossip, but I...
I want to help, so I feel kind of stuck.
Well, I'm afraid I can't give good counsel
if you don't tell me a bit more.
When I say trouble, I mean, I...
I think she may be, uh, in danger.
But--this really is about a friend.
Uh, not me, I swear. [chuckles]
You still have to be more specific.
She, uh--she sings in the choir with me.
The friend--it's Maeve.
But, uh, last night
this guy, uh, attacked her.
And I--you know, I tried to help,
but she told me that he was an ex,
but, you know, I'm not so sure about that.
But it was--it was scary.
And I know I have no right to ask,
but has she confided in you
or told you if anything's wrong?
I mean, 'cause I just want to be ready
in case she needs my help.
Jenny, I say this as your friend,
-not as your priest. -Oh.
Do not get involved.
Stay away from that woman.
This is Maeve's own struggle, not yours.
You cannot take that on.
But as a good Catholic, I should--
No.
She's a good person.
But maybe she's not good for you.
[indistinct chatter over police radio]
Car's in the shop.
You don't have to tell me that. I know the car's evidence.
You want to sit in the back?
No, Decourcy, I don't.
Here.
[Siobhan] Our escort?
Yeah. You need some help?
The nurse was telling you how to care for the wound
'cause she was assuming that you're gonna be
the one who's there for me.
You weren't even listening.
Sorry if I wasn't taking notes, Siobhan,
but you want to question
whether or not I'm there for you?
Every moment of every day,
I'm trying to bring Anton Campbell to justice.
Justice or is this vengeance?
We have everything to lose
and nothing to gain from revenge.
Your family is right here with you, alive.
You shouldn't even be leaving the house.
[clicks tongue] Come on, Siobhan.
That sick son of a bitch wants to kill you.
How long you been here?
We have to talk.
Look, your thoughts, your feelings are yours, okay?
You don't have to share 'em with anyone,
especially not some crazy lady waiting outside your house.
But you're safe with me, okay?
You can tell me anything if you want.
Look, I know the weight of holding on to pain, okay?
Holding on so tight that bottling it up
feels like the only option,
like that-that secret is actually who you are.
But you know what? It doesn't have to be.
Listen, it's nice what you're saying,
but not all secrets are the same.
Look, the first time I saw you, you were crying, okay?
You said that a cousin of yours
had been killed by a car bomb in Belfast,
which got me thinking.
The guy who attacked you
wasn't really your boyfriend, was he?
No.
You know, sometimes saying something out loud
feels a lot better than you might expect.
I'm IRA.
It feels kind of like I expected.
Why'd you join?
'Cause it was the right thing to do.
Listen, it started off
I was just hiding my mates from the RUC.
Felt like what a good friend does.
And then things got more involved...
more specific.
Errands, deliveries.
They taught me how to fight,
how to shoot,
how to build a fucking bomb.
They dressed me up as a nun and sent me out to kill.
I missed on purpose.
That's why I ran away to America.
But there's no escaping their anger.
I live every day afraid that someone'll show up
like that prick in the alley, wanting to punish me.
So what do you do?
I need to disappear.
Yeah, that's right. You should.
I--But I need money.
I need enough to travel, to buy a new identity,
to start over in peace.
[person] I told you we got to go back,
kill all them niggas, bro.
[person 2] Fucking right.
[person] Let's tear they ass up, man.
[person 3] We got to wipe them out.
[person] Come on! Let's move!
[indistinct shouting, gunshots]
[Anton] Kel, we good!
You weak motherfucker.
[gunshot]
[Kelvin groans]
tense music
[groaning]
[Kelvin breathing heavily]
[Anton] I don't know anymore, Kel.
I don't know where to take you, little man.
Mama. C-call Mama.
You're the one been saying we got to protect Mama.
How we gonna do that if you call her in on this shit?
I'll figure it out.
I can take you to Brockton.
Anton, I'll die before Brockton.
I won't let you die.
-[Kelvin groans] -Oh, fuck.
[groaning]
[telephone ringing]
[Anton] Mama, Kelvin needs help.
-We was shot. -[Grace] Where?
-[Anton] We're at Copeland. -[Kelvin] Mama.
[Grace] I'm coming.
Anton, you better not be there.
I'm coming, baby. Kelvin, I'm coming.
Shh, it's okay.
I'm here, baby. Mama's got you.
Don't worry. I'm gonna take you to someplace safe.
[winces, groans, breathing heavily]
Mama?
Yes, baby.
[Kelvin] You know I love you?
Don't go saying last words.
You're not gonna die, Kelvin.
I'm your mama. You do what I tell you to do.
[Kelvin] Ma, I got to say what I need to say.
Your love is special.
Everyone you know, you make 'em feel like they matter.
I'm proud of you, Mama.
I ju--I just wanted to make you proud of me.
I'm sorry, Mama.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm sorry I can't make life better.
Kelvin, did Anton shoot Siobhan?
Might've killed little Raina, too.
[brakes squeal softly]
[Kelvin groans]
[tires squealing, engine revving]
[horn honking]
Casualties of war
The war is over for now at least
Just because they lost it don't mean it's peace
It's a long way home, it's a lot to think about
Whole generation left in doubt
Innocent families killed in the midst
It'll be more dead people after this
So I'm glad to be alive and walking
Half of my platoon came home in coffin
Except the general, buried in the Storm
In bits and pieces, no need to look for 'em
I played it slick and got away with it
Rigged it up so they would think they did it
