NARRATOR: Previously on
Mr. Mercedes...

Ms. Linklatter,
you've been found guilty

of committing murder
in the second degree.

I'm going to suspend
the remainder
of your sentence.

[APPLAUSE]

Are we on a date?

I'm hoping that it will feel
a little like a date

so if we ever
were to have one,

it won't be such a jolt.

How was it?
It was really, really good.

I was hoping
to speak to your son, Peter.

He is at school.

HODGES: I've just come
from there. He's not.

$75,000.
For one page of Rothstein?

I told you.

You already got
all the stolen merchandise.

[GROANS]

I am gonna kill that fucker.
No, you ain't, neither,

at least not until we get
ahold of those manuscripts.

Get the fuck out of my store!

Give me those manuscripts.

Now you say, "Or what?"

Then I say...

[GASPS, SHRIEKS]

The kid's got them.
Saubers.

Yes.
And you don't know
where he's got them?

No.
I don't believe you, Andy.

[SHRIEKS]

You killed him?
I had to.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I do get the sense that
he's mixed up in something
that's bigger than himself.

Peter...
Pete!

Hey, where are you?

[TEA KETTLE WHISTLING]

[WHISTLING STOPS]

[LEAVES RUSTLING]

[CUP CLATTERS]

[LEAVES RUSTLING]

[SPOON CLINKS]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh, my God.

Peter.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know
where else to go.

Get in here.

I, I've gotten myself
into a situation.

Everybody's looking for you,
including the police!

I didn't know
who else I could go to.

I just came to
get some advice.

You've got
the Rothstein books,
don't you?

I don't want
to tell you too much.

I mean, it will put you
in danger.

Really?

Sit down, Peter.

Now, tell me what is going on.

Obviously,
you have the manuscripts.

[SIGHS]

I may have...

...some materials.

Which you simply found
in the crashed car, right?

And I went to the
bookstore owner, Halliday...

Yeah?

[SIGHS]
He bought a poem

and now he's dead

and I don't know what to do.

You're right to be scared.

Halliday's dead because
there's somebody
else out there

looking for those books.

I met him.
What do you mean,
"you met him"?

Some guy,
I don't know his name,
but he knew I had the stuff.

I think he's the guy who
broke into Rothstein's house.

I may have shot him.
Jesus Christ!

How did you even get a gun?
It's not hard.

All right, we're calling
the police right now.

No, no,
they'll put me in jail.

Which may be the safest place
for you to be until...

I don't trust the police.
Oh, Peter...

No, no going
to the police!

This, this will destroy
my parents!

My dad's been through
enough already.
This would kill him.

So, Peter...
[STAMMERS]

What is it that
you're looking for from me?

Do you know how very dangerous
this all is?

Of course I do,
that's why I came.

I don't know what to do...
No, listen to me.

Bill Hodges lives
right next door.

No, no, he's working
with the cops.

No, we can trust him.
No, he'll turn me in.

I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have come.
What about a lawyer?

A lawyer has to
keep things privileged.

In fact, he would be barred
by law from turning you in,

and he could also lay out

your legal options
much better than I.

Peter, for God's sake...

Okay, I'll meet
with a lawyer.
Good.

But no telling Hodges
or the police anything.

I'll call you.

You should have called me.
I had to make
a fast decision,

and what am I gonna do?
I can't restrain him.

Well, where is he now?
I have absolutely no idea.

He took off.
He said he'd call me.

Now, now this Finkelstein,
is he really good?

Jesus balls.

Yes, he's good.

You could set up
the appointment
and we just grab him.

No, no,
we can't do it like that.

It's for his own safety.
Not necessarily.

[SIGHS]

He's armed, actually.

Somebody came after him.

It may have been
the same person

who killed Rothstein,
and Peter shot him.

He what?
Oh, I just can't believe
I'm betraying his confidence.

Oh, for fuck's sake,
Ida, come on.

We have a very volatile
and dangerous situation here!

He shot somebody?
In the leg.

And whoever it is
is still out there,

only he figures
to be more angry,

so I just want to broker
this meeting with the lawyer

in the hopes that
he can make Peter see reason.

You don't know where he is?
No, I don't.

Ida...
No, no!

Truly, Bill, I don't.

[SIGHS]

[SCOFFS]

This isn't fucking good.

No, it isn't.

Peter's just a boy.

[SIGHS]

I'll get you
Finkelstein's number.

Yes, thank you.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I just feel...
[SIGHS]

Surreal, I guess.

I hadn't let myself
hope for it...

Yeah.
And now...

Technically,
you're not free.

You're still under
court supervision.

Yeah, you already said that.

But I just want to make sure
it sinks in,

because if you so much violate
one condition of your release,
they'll re-arrest you.

You'll have to serve
the whole term in prison.

Okay.
No missing any meetings
with the parole officer

or the shrink.
You, you can't skip
any of the drug tests

or court-ordered
anger management sessions.

Yeah, okay, Roland.
I'm not gonna risk
going back to jail.

You don't have to worry.
All right, let's talk about
your living arrangements,

and I'm assuming
you haven't got any, right?

No, they repossessed
my trailer when I was in jail.

You could live with me.

I mean, until you find
somewhere to live.

I couldn't do that.
I mean, why not?

You've gotta live somewhere,
and I have room.

I'm not sure
that's the best of ideas.

Yeah, but it can't be
the worst of ideas.

I mean, this is going to be
a sensory shock.

You know, you can talk to me.
You know that.

Okay, I'll be
the logic police.

Though I'm glad
that you escaped
being institutionalized,

I do think some voluntary
treatment is indicated.

In-patient.

[SIGHS] Shit.

Is he still talking to you?

Is he?

You say that
like it's totally a bad thing.

[SCOFFS]

Look, it was, Brady's the one
that told me to get up

and speak for him
at the sentencing. The judge
was really feeling that.

That was good advice,
and he advised me to call you
as a witness.

I mean, and you were amazing.

It could be said that
Brady helped secure my freedom
just as much as you did.

That's not fair.
It shouldn't be said.

Look, I am extremely grateful

for everything that
you've done for me, and...

I know that
you fought for me,

but so has Brady,
that's all I'm saying.

And all I'm saying is,

is that if Brady
is still in your head

and he's giving you advice
and you're taking it,

we have a problem.

Look, there's advantages
and drawbacks
to Brady being in my head.

The key is to know
which one is which.

I know.

[CAR DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]

He's gone into hiding?

That's the word.

He hasn't come home.

Parents have contacted
the police.

Shit, this will make things
more difficult.

[SCOFFS]
Yeah, tell me about it.

Do the police suspect
that he's got the manuscripts?

[SIGHS]
That I don't know.

But look, with Halliday gone,

he's gotta be looking
for another fence.

Maybe he's already found one.

I doubt it.
What if he does?

There's so much heat.

Whoever buys them,
they're gonna keep
them under wraps,

maybe for years and years.

Fuck.
[SIGHS]

You shouldn't have
killed Halliday.

Well, I did, okay?
What's done is done.

We've fucking blown it.

I'm never gonna get
to read them.

When did you become
such a goddamn baby?

I told you, this is more
than about money to me.

It's more than about money
to me, too, okay?

I told you I loved the man,

and it meant something
that he loved me.

I mean, there were versions
of me in some of his books.

Not whole characters,

but snippets.

I know it.

I never read
any versions of you.

I said snippets.

I'm just as desperate
as you are

to get ahold
of those manuscripts.

To see if you're in there?

We gotta grab
the kid's parents.

What?
For collateral, Morris,
to trade the books for.

[SCOFFS]
Kidnapping is not my thing.

Oh, well, we'd better make it
our fucking thing,

'cause we've killed people,
Morris.

It's all coming to a head.

Have you gone mad?

She's not gonna present
a danger.

How can you know that
if she got Brady in her head?

Yeah, well, lots of people
hear voices, okay?

As much as 20%
of the population,

and that doesn't necessarily
mean mental illness.

For the ones
who heard Brady, it did.

I know you want
to help, but...

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.
Hey, Lou.

Welcome back.
Thank you.

Okay, uh, I got...
I'm sorry, I gotta say, um,

I really cannot even convey
my gratitude.

I can't even begin.

Never would have been
able to hold up
without the support.

And the people
in this room,

you were all I had,

and I will never forget it.

Lou, I worry about you
being unstable.

I'm concerned for you,
and I'm concerned for Holly,

should you be living with her.

Yeah, I totally get that.

I, I totally get that,

and I get
that I need counseling.

I...
[CHUCKLES RUEFULLY]

I can't take this
all on alone.

But...
[SIGHS]

The idea that I would pose
a threat to any of you...

You're the closest thing
I have to family.

Which is what you said
to Brady before shooting him
in the eye socket.

You're right to worry.

He is.
I worry.

And I'm gonna move on...

And I know that that starts
with moving on from Brady.

[SILVERWARE CLATTERING]

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

My desperation
put this all in motion.

My inability to provide for
this family...

Peter wouldn't be
mixed up in any of this
if I had just...

First of all, we have
no idea exactly what
Peter is mixed up in.

Peter is sending us
the money, Marjorie.

Can't you see that?

[SILVERWARE CLATTERS]

God sends manna from heaven,
but cash tends to drop

from more ordinary sources.

Bank loans, inheritances.

You got a rich uncle
we don't know about?

He's sending us the money,
Marjorie.

He's doing whatever he can
to help out because I can't.

Wait, an interview
on television?

CNT-Ohio
is offering her $15,000

for a live-camera sit-down.

And you think
that's a good idea?

[STAMMERS]
It's a lucrative one.

Lou has no money.

I'm gonna be a part of it

to make sure
the wheels don't come off.

Yeah, but I think that the
best thing for her
therapeutically would be

just be to kind of,
you know, disappear.

She killed Mr. Mercedes.

She's not likely
to find anonymity,

and I'm not sure
I would advise her to.

I mean, it could be a career.
A book, a movie.

Wait, a book?

I don't know about that.

Look, I'll call you back.

I'm about to meet
with a client.
Okay, bye.

Oh, okay, bye.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[BELL TOLLING]

Peter?

Mr. Finkelstein.

Are you sure
you weren't followed?

I'm as sure
as I can be, yeah.

I take it that...

Ms. Silver kind of
filled you in?

She did, yeah.

Why here?

[LAUGHS]

Sorry, it's just, I figured
no one would come here.

Plus, sanctuary laws, right?

Where police can't enter.
Isn't that kind of a law?

Oh, not really.
[STAMMERS]

The government is free
to go after the church,

it just chooses
not to. [SNIFFS]

So, I'm your client,
you're my lawyer,

and this is privileged.

Well, for your protection
and mine, yes.

Shall I lay it out?
Yeah.

For starters, you are
in possession
of stolen property.

But I found it.

Doesn't matter,
the property was stolen

over the course of a robbery

during which
at least one man
was murdered,

thus making it
a murder-robbery,

which isn't good.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

But I didn't know anything
about the robbery.

But you do now,

and I take it
that you've known
about it for some time.

You're not going
to like this,
okay? But...

Under Ohio law,

anyone and everyone
involved in the robbery,

including those who were
handling the stolen goods,

is guilty of murder.

What?

As guilty as if he pulled
the trigger himself.

How can that be?

Because politicians
get to draft penal codes,

none of whom
want to be viewed

as being soft
on crime.

And home robberies,
they get prosecutorial
overkill

because that's what
terrifies everyone
the most.

I didn't invade
anybody's home.

Hey, hey, hey.
[STAMMERS]

My advice is for you
to authorize me

to go to the police.

I can try and arrange
a proffer,

broker a deal,
which I think
I can get.

I can't guarantee
no time,

but if you
fully cooperate...

Ida says
you may have information

on who killed Rothstein.

I... I don't know his name,
but I can give a description.

All right,

and you would need
to return all
of the money you found

plus the books.

I gave most of
the money to my folks,
and they spent it.

[SIGHS]
Oh, that isn't good,

but the returning
of the books is far
more important.

What about my parents?

Would they get in trouble
for using the cash?

It... It's possible
but unlikely,

since they had no reason
to know that it was stolen.

Look, you have
something to offer,
the manuscripts,

plus information
that could lead
to the arrest

of Rothstein's killer.

[SIGHS]

See what you can
get from the police,
then I'll decide.

Wait, no, no, no.
It's not gonna
be that simple.

Any deal they offer

will be conditioned
upon meeting you first.

[KNOCKING ON GLASS]
Hey,

got something for you.

[GRUNTS]

That's him right there,
the Saubers kid.

In the bookstore?

They found it
in Halliday's desk
under a pile of shit.

I thought
all the security footage

and the computers were gone?

Yeah, well, they were,
but for some reason,

Halliday had a photocopy
of that in his desk.

And you got this how?

JEROME: Uh,
Montez sent it over.

Probably trying to scratch
your balls a little bit.

Nasty image.
[LAUGHS]

Look, we know
that he maybe
found the books,

we know that
he was in there,

and we also know
that we have

a dead rare book
collector on our hands.

And you said it yourself,

you don't believe
in coincidences.

ALMA: Our window is closing.

We need to grab the mother

and make clear to the gimp
that we have her

and that if he wants
to see her,

he keeps his mouth shut.

We can use Marjorie's phone
to text Petey-boy

that he's got a problem
and better produce
those books.

[BOTTLES CLATTER]

So where do we grab her?

Anywhere is risky... [SIGHS]

But probably less risky
at the house.

The father has a PTSD
support group meeting

tonight at 7:30.

Let's go then.
[CLEARS THROAT,
CLICKS TONGUE]

We can't wait, Morris,
if we're serious.

[SIGHS]

You really think
you were in the novels?

In various
tiny incarnations, yes.

We really loved each other.

I was maybe the only woman
who could return more shit

than Rothstein could dish out.

He was putty in my hands.

I think it scared him.

Who were you?

In the books.

Oh. Oh, many
different people.

[SNIFFS] But mainly...
[CLEARS THROAT]

I was Susan.

Susan Harris?

No fucking way.

Read the description of her
in The Runner.

That's me.

Also the way she spoke.

That was me.

You were Susan?

Jimmy's first love.

And mine. [LAUGHS]

Many nights, she would be...

The last person I thought of.

[LAUGHS] I used to joke

I had carpal Harris syndrome.

[LAUGHING]

That was you?

The way he would write
about her,

don't tell me
he didn't love me.

That's who Jimmy ended up with
in the end, if it was the end.

I was in love with Susan
when I was, like, 16.

I bet you never thought
you could have her
for real, did you?

[SENSUAL ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

ALMA: [LAUGHS] Oh!
MORRIS: Fuck!

Yes, see?
[MOANING]

Jimmy, Jimmy,
this is Susan. Susan.

You know what I used
to call you? My love!

Jimmy, my love, my love!

Jimmy Gold! Pure!

Gold! [MOANS]

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.

Hey.
How do I look?

You look great.

Thanks. Lou ready?

Uh, she's upstairs.

I'll let her know
you're here.Okay, thanks.

You got a second?

Yeah, sure.

Your relationship
with Montez, it's good?

Why?

I met with the Saubers kid.

Obviously,
he's in a bit of trouble.

Wants to get with the DA
to try to set up a proffer,

which figures to be
a difficult sell,

so I was wondering
if you could make
a positive call

on his behalf in advance?

Well, I... I haven't
actually met the kid.

Met his dad.
Does he have the manuscripts?

I can't reveal
privileged information.

You could deny he's got them.

He's got them.

I can't say anything

other than it is
a dangerous situation,

like you have said,
so the sooner
that we get...

I'll call Montez.

Thanks.
It could be a big help.

Well, I'm off
to hair and makeup.

Okay.

All right,
I'll see you later.

Wish me luck.
Break a leg.

Thanks.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

So, what was that about?

Ah, just stuff.
[CLEARS THROAT]

What do you mean,
"just stuff"?

I mean,
I'm a full partner here,

and add to that,
I was eavesdropping.

Is Roland gonna represent
the Saubers boy?

He could be.

The one with the manuscripts.

It's a good thing, Holly.

Get the books back,
get the reward.

Yeah, but it's also
a dangerous thing,

a very risky thing.

And you attacked
a serial killer

with a paperweight.

[DOOR OPENS]

Is he optimistic,
Finkelstein?

I don't know.

The kid's stepped
in some serious shit.

His best bet
is probably to talk to me.

I still don't know
where he is,

if that's where you're headed.

Yeah, well, the next time
he knocks on your door...

Oh...
[STAMMERS]

We'd better find him
before the killer does.

There she is.
...attorney,
Roland Finkelstein.

I cannot even imagine
what it was like

for you to hear
that verdict,

and then the sentencing.

Yeah, it was
kind of crazy. Yes.

So, you feel
justice was done?

Well, I'm not
complaining.

INTERVIEWER:
The district attorney is.

She and many others say
that this was wrong,

that you were
basically deemed
to be above the law.

Well...

That whole...

"Nobody's above
the law" thing,

I mean, that's kind
of a myth, really.

Jeez.

INTERVIEWER: "A myth"?

Yeah, well, it's only
the little people

that can't be above the law.

The big people...

Nixon, he got pardoned.

He was above the law.

The banks that were
"too big to fail."

People in Ohio died
because of them.

They didn't go to jail.

The banks didn't literally kill anyone.

O.J. did.
Teddy Kennedy did.

George Zimmerman did. The guy that...

Pretty... Pretty good.
I mean, really good,
actually.

But she...
She does seem...

Crazy.
Yeah.

This idea that nobody
is above the law,

not even the President
of the United States,

I mean, Monica, it's a joke.

Clinton, Nixon,
Andrew Jackson,

they all broke laws.

Even Bush. I mean,
if you count starting a war

under false pretenses

so that your vice president
can get a gazillion dollars

in... In private
defense contracts.

[LAUGHS] People are
still dying...

She needs to sit down
and shut up.

This kind of talk
is very dangerous
for her. That rhetoric?

But are you worried
that what you did

might spur on
other vigilantes?

Well...

I mean, let's take
this bookstore owner,
for example.

You no sooner were set free
than someone else decides

to take the law
into their own hands

and avenge
a sex offender.

I fail to see any connection.

Well, it's
eye-for-an-eye justice.

Isn't that exactly

what the district attorney
warned against?

I was just speaking
for myself.

I wasn't speaking
for society at large.

But if I was to speak
for society at large...

When the law doesn't work,

when government officials are allowed to commit crimes,

when the people that we trust
to uphold the law

are the same ones
that are breaking it,

there needs
to be a revolution.

Brother.

Sick.

Uh, 2002.

Yeah, I called Montez,
and he's happy to meet.

Yeah, sooner the better.
He's chomping at the bit.

Good.

You feel like grabbing
a late-night bite
or something?

Actually, um, no.

Oh.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

Holly, what's wrong?

Okay...

I don't think
this is a good idea,
you and me.

Because?

Because... [SIGHS]

For me, it's all
about sustainability,

and that goes for both food
and relationships, and...

[HOLLY SIGHS]

You and me,
I don't think we'd...

...sustain.

You don't think
we'd "sustain"?

[STAMMERS] Wait,
we haven't even started.

Exactly. Already,
we're not working out.

Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.

I just don't...
Don't want this,
and I really would like it

if you just respected
my choices.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Fine.

Fine.

[SIGHS]

What the hell
was that all about,

if you don't
mind me asking?

I do mind, okay?

A boss doesn't get
to ask his employees

personal questions
about their...

Oh, so I'm your boss
again now, am I?

A bit ago, eh, you were
a full fucking partner.

I should go check on Lou.

You told me she likes the guy.

She does.

MORRIS: [GRUNTING] Fuck.

My fucking DNA
is all over the place.

I gotta go back.
We can't.

You're not in the database.
You'll be fine.

No, you'll be fine!
My blood is in there.
I got cut.

The fuck happened?

Things never go the way
they're fucking planned,

that's what the fuck happened!

She fought
like a fucking wolverine!

Did you get her phone?
Yeah, I got it.

Give it to me.
Here.

Now tape her mouth,
fast.

I got it, I got it, I got it,
I got it, I got it.

ALMA: Tell me when you got
the mouth.

Done.

All right,
move out of my way.

[CAMERA CLICKING]

What are you doing?
I've gotta get the pictures
to the gimp

before he gets home.

Otherwise he'll call
the police.

[GRUNTING]
Her legs, let's go.

It doesn't have
to be perfect,
Morris, just do it!

It's not perfect,
believe me.

Look at this shit job
I'm doing.

Shove her legs in,
close the fucking door,

and let's go.

MAN: Nice job, Tom.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
See ya, fellas.

See you, Tom.

Hey, Marjorie.

How you doing, honey?
[MUFFLED GRUNTING]

Oh.
[YELLS IN PAIN]

[GROANS]
You feeling okay,
sweetheart?

I don't understand.

Yeah, maybe I can help
with that.

See, you think you're having
a shitty day,

but you know
what real shit is?

It's having all your days
blur into one another,

not being able to distinguish
one from the next.

That's my idea of hell.

You will remember this day,

should you live through it.

I thought you were my friend.
I know, sorry.

You need to pick
your friends better.

[GRUNTING]

You can pick your friends,
you can pick your nose,

but you can't pick
your friend's nose.

Well, sometimes you can.

Sometimes you can even
pick your friend's nose

with another friend's
[CLICKS TONGUE] finger.

Hmm?
[WHIMPERING]

No, no, no, no!
Here it goes.

Picky, picky, picky!

Oh shit, you made a mess.

Tape her mouth back up.
[COUGHING]

Puke again,
you'll be drowning.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[WHIMPERING]

No crying now.
This is exciting.

Do you know
who I like to go to
in challenging times?

Liza Minelli.
The things she endured.

Nobody ever gives that dame
enough credit, but I do.

Do you know what she'd say
to you right now?

She'd say, "Money."

Petey, baby, hi!
Remember me?

And of course you remember

Mom! Mom!

Mom, Mom?

[LAUGHS]
Auntie Em, Auntie Em?

Time's up, fuckhead.

Shoot me in the fucking leg?

Ooh, I ought to slit
her throat just for that.

You will be delivering us
the books tomorrow

or she dies.

You want a second opinion?
Call your old man.

We might kill him, too.

You fuck!

[SIGHS] Watch
your fucking mouth, you dink.

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

Don't you fucking touch her!

Sticks and stones
may break my bones,

but words will get the shit
slapped out of your mother.

I will be calling you again
at 6:00 a.m.

We will be making a plan
for the book delivery,

a plan that you will
execute faithfully,

Got a sec?

I'm just finishing up
some dishes.

Where's Lou?

[SIGHS]
She's taking a bath.
I gave her some bubbles.

Olivia said
that there's nothing

a good bubble bath
can't cure, so...

Of course,
she was wrong. [SIGHS]

Do you want to tell me
what that was about before?

No, I told you,
I do not want to tell you.

Tell me anyway.

My personal life
is my personal life, okay?

That's bullshit.

We're all in
each other's business here.

You've certainly had
your claws in mine.

Holly.

My life, my successful life,
if I'm to have one,

is all about control, okay?
I need to be in control.

Nobody's in control
of their life.

Do you think
I'm in control of mine?

I'm different than you
and other people,
and you know it, okay?

I need to have everything
in a certain place.

Everything has to be
in a certain order, all right?

I need patterns
and routines and...

And?

And...

When I heard that Roland was
representing the Saubers boy,

I became so afraid, okay?

Because it's dangerous.

I got scared, and also
it made me realize...

And that's why.

You're gonna
have to connect
a few more dots.

[SIGHS]

If I continue to see him,

I might fall in love
with him.

And I'll lose control.

You know, I loved Oli,

and when you love people,
you grow branches or limbs,

and they are outside
of your jurisdiction,

and I'm... [STAMMERS, SIGHS]]

It's too emotionally unwieldy

for me to end up
with someone else in the end.

That's the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.

You can't break up
with someone

'cause you're afraid
you might love them.

[SIGHS] It's...
It's been a long process

getting to this point.

You know, being able to
function in the outside world.

I have to protect myself
however I can, you know?

I need...

I need to be in control.

Well, I'm no expert
on the outside world stuff,

but...

It seems to me...

One of the main perks
is getting to love people,

being loved back.

Not everyone
gets to have that.

Why can't you?

Leap and the net will appear.

Isn't that
what Jerome told you?

[SIGHS]
It's good advice.

If you like this man,
go be with him.

Dumping him out of fear
of losing control

just makes you a dope.

[SIGHS]

You're not a dope.

Marjorie, Marjorie, come on.

I'm gonna make this short because time is not my friend,

Oh, Jesus!

You call the police,
we kill her.

Simple as fucking that.

Do we want to kill her?

No, no, we don't.
It's messy.

What I want
is the John Rothstein books...

I don't have
the fucking books!

Which your little prick fuck

of a son has!

You make contact with
the little pricky-dicky-do,

and you tell him
to deal with us.

You need to give your son
some good advice.

Nobody has to die here.

We just want the books.
