Original subtitles

Bye.

Everybody listen up.

This used to be Patrick McCauley, top contender to head the McMillan

organization. Two days ago, Connor McMillan blows into town.

McCauley ends up dead yesterday.

Draw your own conclusions.

He's leading suspect in the murder of officer Nick Carey in 89.

The McMillan clan, for those of you in the dark, control one -third of the

city's prostitution, gambling, extortion.

So who's who here?

The old man is Cork McMillan.

And those are his two sons, Connor and Kevin.

That's the family lawyer there, Horace Atwood.

It's not hard to figure out that by eliminating Patrick McCauley, this

that at least one of the brothers will succeed the old man.

Now, if we can bring down Connor McMillan, we get us a cop killer, stop a

war, maybe even get him to roll over and put the whole damn family out of

business. All right, you all have your surveillance chips. See me for detail.

Look, he's pulling over.

Connor, where are you going, Bubba?

Think he made it?

Not a chance.

He's in there.

So, uh, how was your date with Kelly?

Scary.

Why? I don't know. We were getting along great.

We didn't see each other for a while, and then the last month, it's been

incredible. That part was always incredible.

I mean, if you can believe the tape, so...

Don't you go there, man.

No, it's like we spent the whole weekend together. We didn't argue.

We didn't fight.

Joked with each other.

It was great, man.

So?

So what?

Were you thinking about getting back with her together full time?

Considering it?

Oh, really?

Really. I love that woman, man. I know you love her back there.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, nice cut. He's picked up some flowers.

Got ourselves a hyphen.

Cop killer slash laser.

So, did you get a look on the original homicide?

No, but I knew the cop that got killed.

Nick Carrey.

What's going to make the case?

The PI that had the evidence on Connor disappeared at the same time Connor did.

Seven years ago.

No, our boy's back one day. He's already got a dead body.

That's right, Bubba.

He really does have a hot date.

How does he do that one day in town?

I don't know. Maybe it's an old girlfriend or something.

Is that who I think it is?

That would be Kelly.

I take it you didn't know about this, huh?

What the hell is he doing with my ex -wife?

We're not discussing politics.

So we need to get back together with him now, huh?

Thought you might like to see this.

What is it?

Connor's hotel phone record. First night he called Kelly and they spoke for 47

minutes.

Well, today's just a bounty of good news, is it?

Yeah, she likes wives.

Which one, the good one or the bad one?

Oh, the bad one.

What are you going to say to her?

Beats the hell out of me. I think I'll let her do all the talking.

Good luck.

Hello, sweetheart.

What a nice surprise.

Hey, dear, how are you? Hey, Kelly, how are you doing? Sam.

I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if you were free for lunch.

Ah, damn it.

I'm doing surveillance on this case.

Well, can I take a rain check? Would that be ridiculously optimistic?

How about dinner?

How about drinks?

About six?

Drinks? Okay, great, fine.

Six. Great.

I'll meet you at the cooker train.

We need to talk.

We do?

Gary.

Six o 'clock.

We're at the Campbell. The police won't be there.

Did you see the picture?

She tried to cover it, but she saw it.

Look, not that this is much more interesting, but I just got this urgent

call from Mrs. Nassiter.

You know, the world's loudest kind of partner.

You can even go to the bar for something.

Go.

Nash is the surveillance team.

Connor just showed up at Cork McMillan's house.

I could only get a wire in there.

Emmett, you know how to tie those animal balloons?

Sorry, boss. Afraid not.

I got a better idea.

Come on.

Hi there, FFPD. Which one of you gentlemen is a 40 regular?

Sir, would you like a crab cake? Here you go.

Very welcome.

Would you like an hors d 'oeuvre?

With Evan on the inside, maybe we'll get lucky.

Gentlemen.

That's Horace Atwood. He's been with the old man for 20 years.

That's a cork.

Old man doesn't look good, does he?

Hey, Dad.

Kind of cancer.

This whole thing's all about.

Ah, the prodigal son.

Boy, these past couple days remind me of the good old days.

Of course, they weren't so good, were they, Connor? Don't start, you two.

It's time to talk business.

Come on.

We're meeting in the library.

Excuse me, gentlemen. Would you like some hors d 'oeuvres or something? Or

I could bring you a drink or some refreshments. Anything, though.

No.

Party's over for us.

more tidy around here? Is somebody going to put all these bottles away?

Uh, you, excuse me, could you do something about these bottles here?

What? Yeah, I'll put them away in the recycle bin outside. I have a question

you.

Do you people want to see my head explode?

Because if you continue to talk to me in that tone, that is literally what will

happen.

What tone?

Okay.

Take it easy, Enrico, all right? This is Mr.

Dominguez and Mrs. Nassiter. They're the new owners.

They took over the bar after the foreclosure.

You can't give them an order that way. Got it.

Yes.

What did you say to him?

Oh, it's much more involved than that.

Who is that man?

Enrico used to be the bar accountant.

He went through a terrible IRS audit and had another breakdown.

Now he's been reduced to a more limited management role.

Yeah. I thought you were the bar accountant.

Oh, no, no. I'm the acting accountant until Enrico recovers. Or such time you

management choose to name a new permanent accountant slash general

Listen, I got to go. So what's the urgent situation?

I've been going over the receipts for the past couple of nights, and I noticed

that $500 was missing from the register.

You know who did it?

I have my suspicions.

Now I need both of you to authorize an internal investigation.

Follow me.

Nail the bastard.

You know, I've been thinking all -leather night.

Hey, how about all -wet leather night?

Something's going on, man. You should have seen the look in Connor's eyes.

Some kind of major powwow.

Did I miss anything?

No, we all missed it.

How's the bar that runs itself?

Don't ask.

I mean, you can't trust anybody anymore.

Especially those closest to you.

Heads up, guys. Connor's leaving.

Joe and I'll take him.

Give me your keys. I'll drive.

No way. It's my car, man. It's my turn to drive for a change. Oh, man, come on.

You know how to drive. Yeah, low and slow.

Go. You want to keep up? You're losing.

Don't tell me you're going to backseat drive, man. How classic.

Nash. Nash, darling.

You're going to kill me, but I've got to cancel tonight.

I'm not used to this one. You cancel before I do? I promise we'll get to our

talk. There's some charity train wreck I've got to fix, okay? Yeah, okay.

Bye.

She had to cancel.

Hmm.

I see.

No, you don't be.

Oh, yeah, well, maybe murder and mayhem aren't the only reasons that Connor came

back. Look, this guy's dangerous, man. Chicks dig that.

That's ridiculous.

Now, why do you think Kelly likes you, huh? You're very dangerous, especially

when you're a passenger.

I'll tell you what happened.

She probably dated this guy sometime in the past.

She didn't want to tell me because she thought it might have fed me.

Ridiculous. And she just didn't mention it, and that's it.

I see. Okay.

What do you think you're saying?

I don't know. I don't read lit.

You gonna confront her?

Until I have to.

You still haven't explained to me why you've come back.

Family business, is that the reason?

I'd hoped you might have escaped your father's gravitational pull by now.

I need to borrow that painting.

I don't have it. I lent it to a gallery in Semmel.

Why'd you need it?

I just do.

Just get back.

No one lets you tell me why first. Kelly, just get the painting back.

All right, then.

Who do we follow?

Until I know what he's doing and why, he's still our key.

So what do you think Connor's doing up there?

Probably trying to figure out a way to sneak the McMillan family business away

from his brother.

You think Kelly knows what's going on?

I'm not sure we do yet.

I just don't want her in a crossfire when things start to get ugly.

Fresh eyes, guys. Take five.

He's on the fourth floor.

Corner room, room 411.

You got it? All right, don't lose it. Don't worry.

Hey, uh, I got to stop by the bar.

That would be the bar that runs itself.

So I've narrowed it down to five people with motive, means, and no alibis.

Well, uh, weren't there just five people on the shift that night?

Exactly.

No wonder you're so well -respected at your job.

Our first suspect is Jerry.

Jerry? The paycheck manager, Jerry? Mm -hmm. Not exactly an attractive man. I

mean, the pasty skin combined with the not -very -convincing toupee.

Nevertheless, he has a 22 -year -old boyfriend.

Huh? A student at SFU with the body of a Greek god.

Oh.

Love doesn't come cheap.

Come in. Come in.

Oh, hey, guys.

Sorry to interrupt.

Hey, Hank.

Just going over some figures here with the boss.

Just getting a case of beer.

All right.

But then I got to thinking, what do we know about him?

Him?

Hank?

Like a straightforward kind of guy?

Exactly. He seemed like a straight -ahead kind of guy.

But yesterday, he shows up in a new leather jacket.

Oh, yeah?

Mm -hmm. Hey. Hey, Hank.

I say, being friendly.

Nice jacket.

How much did that set you back?

Guess what his answer was.

What?

$500.

$500.

Mm -hmm.

Should I question him?

No, that's okay. I'll question him.

Can't trust anybody nowadays, huh?

I know.

Sad.

The guy with the rug has got a 22 -year -old guy. Mm -hmm. Should see him. Very

weird.

Should be me.

Hey, Hank, how's it going?

Hey, Mr. Dominguez.

Can I get you something to drink?

No, no, thank you.

Can we talk for a minute?

Yeah, sure.

I wanted to tell you... Oh, thank.

You know, I mean, I know I don't fit in here very well.

I mean, hell, my family runs a dairy farm.

But this job, you know, it's...

It's been so great for me.

You know, these people, they're like family.

Anyway, it's home, and you made it that way.

I'm sorry, what were you going to say?

Nothing, really. I just want to say what a good job you're doing.

Nice talking to you.

It's Connor's car.

Here we go.

Stay there and let me know if he comes back.

Oh, my God, you scared me.

Sorry, sweetheart.

I let myself in.

You okay?

Yeah.

You look a little nervous, sweetie.

So, um... Where were you?

Well, I had to go and pick up something from my headache.

I couldn't sleep.

New painting?

Yeah.

It's some new experimental art. You'd hate it.

Well, I'm open to trying new things.

I just have to be willing to share.

Do you want to show me the painting, Kelly?

Maybe it's time to have that little talk.

Have you been spying on me?

No, I've been following Connor.

This is outrageous.

I have a job to do. I can't not do that job just because of who's involved.

Connor bought this for you, didn't he?

Yeah, seven years ago.

He just said he wanted to borrow it for a few hours.

Let's find out why.

Shall we find out what this fits?

And why Connor is so desperate to get it back?

You're my father's attorney and advisor, not mine.

I'll handle my brother in my own way.

We can't do anything without that key.

We need to make our move.

I'm working on it.

You know there are going to be reprisals.

He's ready to seize control.

I have to get it from third party, a very skittish third party, and the

are following me. Listen. If you ask me again, I'll get up and walk out. Do you

understand? What do you want out of this?

Nothing you have to offer.

Just do what you came back for.

You still walking?

Whenever I can.

Stay healthy, kid.

You too, my friend.

God, you scared me.

Morning. Yeah, morning.

If it's not such a good morning for Horace Atwood, it ain't for no one to

in. Close range hit.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Anybody see it?

The hit, no, but I've got witnesses that say that they saw him eating with

Connor McMillan 20 minutes before the hit.

Let's bring him in.

How you doing, Connor?

Comfortable? You want a coffee or something? There's a machine outside.

You might want to have your lawyer present.

Oops, I forgot.

You killed your lawyer last night.

He wasn't my lawyer.

He was my father's lawyer.

And I didn't kill him.

Oh, well.

You want to tell me who did?

I have no idea.

Do you have any idea what this key fits?

That's my property. I'd like it back.

Actually, it belongs to my ex -wife.

It was in one of her paintings.

I'm going to ask you something. Why are you involving her?

I think I will call a lawyer.

You can do that.

But you better understand something.

There are very few things that I would risk my life or my career over.

And Kelly is one of them.

So my advice to you is stay the hell away from her.

What if she wants me around?

We're not going to charge you yet.

But I am going to hang on to these.

How did you get that?

Magic.

I hold all the cards.

Best thing for you to do is make a deal. You might save yourself a death

sentence.

This is personal to you.

But you're barking up the wrong tree.

Prove me wrong.

See if you can figure out which bank that key came from.

Yeah, sure. You have a call on line four.

Thank you.

Yeah, Nash.

Well, I'd be delighted.

Sir, be right over.

Who was that?

That was Cork McMillan.

He wants to have a chat.

Me too?

Well, he didn't mention you by name, but...

I'm sure I can bring a guest.

Oh, good.

You know, I got to tell you, Cork, you have got to be the most successful

plumber in the history of the business.

Could be right.

Then that pays to run your own business.

You really think I'm a plumber?

You never know, Joe.

So, um, what's this little get -together all about, Cork?

I want to know who you think killed Horace Atwood.

Well, right now, the prime suspect would be your son.

Which one?

Connor.

We all have our capacities, Nash, but Connor's.

They don't include murder.

With all due respect, Cord, your word isn't worth much.

Listen, I have a tumor in my throat. It's inoperable.

I'd be lucky if I lived two months.

I call Connor home.

Because I didn't want to die without seeing him again.

The last thing I want is all this bloodshed in my family.

All this turmoil.

Family.

It's the only thing I've left now that's worth anything.

So you see, I got nothing to gain by lying to you.

Thank you for coming, boy.

That's all I have to say.

He's quite a character, huh?

The end of a dynasty.

That's kind of what worries me.

Yeah, Nash.

Listen, Nash, I tracked the key to an old branch at the San Francisco bank

on Mission and 3rd. I'm on my way.

Well, no, no, no. They actually closed that branch after the quake, but they

transferred all the safe deposit boxes to the new branch on Taylor and Bush.

Nash, there were two names on the signature card.

Connors and Callies. Thank you.

Thank you.

Water damage.

Holly, the water pipes in the bank vault broke.

What's that?

Here it goes, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight's command performance.

Kind of understand a word. Great.

It's like the iodine in the calcium in the water washed the dioxides right off

the tape.

Well, it's for nothing.

Well, actually, there's still some electromagnetic impulses where the

was made.

Evan, see if you can dig it out. Can I grab a cup?

How you feeling?

You don't see death, Kevin.

You sense it.

Like the wind.

It's coming.

You sound like Mom.

You know what she said right before she died? You murdered Horace Atwood, didn't

you? Dad, I removed an obstacle to my advancement.

You know what you always taught me? Taught you to defend yourself.

I hear you spoke with the police.

Should have turned you over to him.

You didn't?

No.

Well, that makes this doubly ironic then, doesn't it?

Take one step out, just one.

Hello, Connor.

I'll pay for the water, I promise.

How'd you get in here? I lent him the key. Please don't do this, Nash.

I don't have to tell you, do I, how dangerous it is having him here? I know.

We found the tape.

Yeah, and?

There was nothing on it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait.

How about I do the cop work, all right?

What was on the tape?

It was damaged, not destroyed. We're going to find out sooner or later.

Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you then, does it?

I'll have to wait.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Your father's dead.

Murdered.

No.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

You weren't there.

So who was?

Connor, please. He can help you.

What was on that tape?

My brother's confession.

He killed that cop in 89.

It was that event that made me decide it had nothing to do with the family

business. But Kevin and them, they had a hard time believing that or letting me

go. So I taped the conversation and I'm talking about the murder for my own

security just in case.

My father asked me to come back. He was ill and he was terrified.

Kevin was taking over the organization.

He wanted me to stop him.

My father.

He had a certain honor about the way he conducted his business.

Kevin does not. He's ruthless and mercenary. And nothing is outside his

Even killing our own father!

Or if that would.

And Patrick McCauley. And anyone else that stands in his way.

I can help you.

But you're going to have to do something for me.

I'll stop, Kevin.

But when this is all done, you are going to stay away from Kelly.

You're going to get on a plane and get the hell back to where you came from.

You understand?

Playing two balls are just cheap.

Hey, .357 iron, huh?

What, do you make your own holes?

Put that away.

You don't mind if we play along, do you?

Well, that depends on how well you play.

Oh, gosh, Bubba.

Any handicap I ever had in this game is almost gone.

Excuse me.

So, uh, let me get this straight.

Your father's body is still warm, and you're out here working on your game.

Dang, man.

That's cold.

Just trying to take my mind off my father's passing.

Why are you here?

Well, we'd like to ask you about all the other dead people in your life. You

know, cops, members of your extended family.

Oh, yeah, your lawyer.

Yeah, my new lawyer will be giving you a phone call if you don't stop this

harassment. Joe, we're going to hear from his lawyer.

How will I be able to sleep at night?

Anybody got a ball I could use?

Here, here it is.

So, uh, see, the thing is, Kevin, your lawyer, Mr. Atwood, just before he was

murdered, he turned over a tape to us.

And on it, you're bragging about killing some cop back in 89.

So the best I can figure, the thing for you to do is try and make a deal.

Of course, it is a one -time -only offer.

Thanks.

I decline.

I shouldn't say this, but...

That makes me happy. Yeah.

Bye -bye.

Now, I'm thinking if you just take that over the bunker, let it drift back in.

How hard can it be, man? White guys in plaid pants do it all the time.

Sweetheart, what are you doing here?

Finish that talk.

Whenever you're ready.

It's really hard for me.

Sweetheart.

You know you can tell me anything.

When I left Ghana seven years ago, I found out something.

It would have forced us together in a way that I knew wouldn't work,

who his family is.

I was pregnant.

I knew that if I had the baby, the McMillan family would never let her out

its grasp.

I couldn't have my child brought up in a world like that.

So I broke up with Connor.

I refused even to speak to him.

I went back to England and I stayed there during the pregnancy.

Then I had the baby.

I gave it up for adoption.

up on you.

That's what that was all about yesterday.

Baby, that must have been so hard for you.

Yeah.

Joe, thanks. Mr. Master, hi. I, uh...

I think I may have resolved a little crisis. There's a man down in the bar.

looking for Enrico. He says he's here for the payoff money.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah. Um, what was your name?

Blue Eye.

Blue Eye.

Oh, I get it. One blue that way, one blue that way.

That's a very unusual name. I don't think I've ever heard of it before.

Yeah, well, Mr. I, I'm Joe Dominguez, and this is my partner, Mrs. Nassiter.

We're the new owners of the bar. So, you got the money?

Uh, yeah. Well, you know, we're new here, and we're trying to acquaint

with the employees and the regulars, and we were wondering just exactly what

this $500 was all about.

I protect you.

I sleep pretty well at night.

Just what are you protecting us from?

Me.

Well, I'll tell you what, Mr.

Eyeball.

SFPD. Oh, man.

Perhaps Mrs. Nassar would like to tell you a little bit about her family

history, too. Oh, what is this now? It's going to be a good cop, bad cop?

No, this is good cop, no cop.

Perhaps you knew my late husband, Bernie Nassar.

Bernie Nassar was your husband?

No, you can just arrest me.

Please. And that isn't as ironic.

I know. Sometimes you have to travel 25, 30 miles to find a criminal.

Here's one right here. Right here. Right.

What? Oh.

What is this?

You can have that. And, uh, Mrs. Nassiter, I'll pay you back the rest.

did you want? You could have my watch. Like that's really your watch.

No, I'd like you to take a little walk with me, okay?

Blow, blue eye.

Hey, what's up?

Oh, man.

Had this long conversation with Kelty. Yeah?

You're not gonna believe this one, Bubba.

Okay, Cortez, just show me what we got.

Okay, I played around with this thing for a while.

Listen to this.

Let's go take him down right now. What about the other McMillan? Don't worry

about him. I still got his passport. Joe, give me a second. AJ?

It's transatlantic stuff.

A little out of our jurisdiction, but who's counting?

I got it, but I'm not sure you want it.

Thanks, AJ. Joe?

How could you do it?

How could you kill your own father?

Irish tradition.

Patricide. You're evil.

Yeah, but who's got all the power?

Did you look around you?

I'm head of the house. I'm head of the family.

You better start showing me a little bit of respect, little brother.

Go to hell, Kevin.

I'm sure they're expecting you there.

You're Irish.

You're gonna mistake sentiment for emotion.

That's not what Court McMillan was about.

He was about money and power.

That's what he's about, and that's what I'm about.

So get out of my house.

Don't wanna go back to where it was you crawled back from.

You think

I

won't?

You think I won't?!

Put it down.

It ends here.

Think about it, Kev.

You shoot him, we shoot you.

The way you look at it, it's over.

See, brother, it's not so easy, is it?

Why, it took me seven years to come back here to bury you.

I can't go to prison.

This is our last chance.

God, I love you.

But we can't.

Why not?

Baby, do a little research.

Connor followed you to England seven years ago.

And he found the adoptive parents of your baby.

He proved that he was the father and got her back.

No, it's impossible.

There's somebody you need to meet.

Connor?

Hi, Megan.

There's someone over here I want you to meet.

Megan, this is Kelly.

Kelly, this is Megan McMillan.

Hi, Megan.

Come on, I want to show you something.

Come on over here. Really pretty.

Why didn't you tell me?

I lost you.

I didn't want to lose her, too.

I wanted to have a chance at a good family, the kind of family I never had.

The original McMellons are finished.

Three of us can start fresh.

If you're willing to try.

You're gonna need this.

See you, Megan.

It's a different perspective on things, doesn't it?

Thank you, nice.

No goodbyes.

You take care of her.

Take care of both of them.
