88. The Islamic
Revolutionary Guards.Copy !req

110. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
111. No. Why?
We're not leaving.Copy !req
112. We didn't do anything wrong.Copy !req
113. No one said you did.
I just—Copy !req
114. I think it'd be smart.
Right?Copy !req
115. Well, don't worry about us, son.Copy !req
116. Me and your mama know how
to weather this kind of storm.Copy !req
117. - Good.

118. I'm gonna take off.
You all right?Copy !req
119. Are you?Copy !req

like the type.Copy !req
123. That hooker thing
must've messed with him.Copy !req
124. He said it wasn't a hooker.Copy !req
125. And don't forget,
his kid's a basehead.Copy !req
126. That would send anyone
down a hole.Copy !req
127. Not to mention 'Nam.Copy !req
128. Now, hold on.
A lot of us served.Copy !req
129. I know I'm not
thinking about that shit.Copy !req

about that Saint kid.Copy !req
131. The next-door neighbor.Copy !req
132. You hear they're doing, like,
a million a week on the street?Copy !req
133. - A million a week? That kid?
- That's what I'm hearing.Copy !req
134. Motherfucker...Copy !req
135. All I know,
if that M.E. report comes backCopy !req
136. with anything suspicious...Copy !req
137. we're gonna start
taking shit apart.Copy !req
138. Everyone hold on a minute.Copy !req
139. Rigo Vasco,
meet Stephen Havemeyer.Copy !req
140. Mr. Havemeyer handles special
compartmentalized issuesCopy !req
141. for the director of the CIA,Copy !req
142. and he'll be able to facilitate
any requests you might haveCopy !req
143. while you're working
with the Agency.Copy !req
144. Really?Copy !req
145. Um... I-I don't know, maybe...Copy !req
146. I would love
a diplomatic passport.Copy !req
147. Of course. You got it.
We'll take care of it.Copy !req
148. Thank you for being
so accommodating, Rigo.Copy !req
149. I can tell this is gonna be
a very fruitful partnership.Copy !req
150. Okay, thanks.Copy !req
151. I look forward to talking more.Copy !req
152. Hey, Stephen.Copy !req
153. Come to our club sometime.Copy !req
154. What the fuck are you doing?Copy !req
155. I'm salvaging this operation.Copy !req
156. - "Salvaging"?
- You got played.Copy !req
157. Julia did not come here to take
the operation away from me.Copy !req
158. She came here to blow it up.Copy !req
159. And I can tell from the look on
your face that you had no idea.Copy !req
160. So I'm gonna make this
extremely simple for you.Copy !req
161. At this point,
you have two options.Copy !req
162. The first one is
you call the director yourselfCopy !req
163. and let him know how you allowed
one of your own agentsCopy !req
164. to destroy this operation
and stop the flow ofCopy !req
165. tens of millions of dollars
to the war effort.Copy !req
166. Or?Copy !req
167. You trust that I know
what the fuck I'm doingCopy !req
168. and you use your considerable
influence to fixCopy !req
169. what you unwittingly
allowed JuliaCopy !req
170. to fuck up in the first place.Copy !req
171. Start by contacting Mossad;
set up a meeting.Copy !req
172. What do you need from Mossad?Copy !req
173. I don't have time
to explain this to you.Copy !req
174. People are dying.Copy !req
175. Which call are you gonna make?Copy !req
176. In a statement today,
SoCal EdisonCopy !req

Come on in.Copy !req
299. You can put that on a magazine

301. I don't want
to put you out none.Copy !req
302. Don't be silly.Copy !req
303. I could use some mature company.Copy !req
304. How's she doing?Copy !req
305. I had to nail her window shut.Copy !req
306. We've already had
half a dozen squabblesCopy !req
307. that almost came to blows.Copy !req
308. Between the-the grief
and the drugs,Copy !req
309. it's a wonder she don't explode.Copy !req
310. I am so sorry.Copy !req
311. I intend to get this house
in shape and sell it,Copy !req
312. and then move Mel down
to Tyler...Copy !req
313. till her heart and body
can heal.Copy !req
314. Of course. Is there anything
I can do to help?Copy !req
315. Between the cleaning,
and watching that wild girlCopy !req
316. and grieving,Copy !req
317. I can't hardly think
about the funeral.Copy !req
318. We could host the repast.Copy !req
319. Oh, that would be
a godsend. Thank you.Copy !req
320. Of course. And...Copy !req
321. you're selling this house, huh?Copy !req
322. I have a small
real estate business.Copy !req
323. Maybe I could help you
with that.Copy !req
324. I think the repast
will be enough.Copy !req
325. Oh, of course. Sure.Copy !req
326. Andre told me everything.Copy !req
327. You're a good woman,
but your son...Copy !req
328. His money and all
his businesses,Copy !req
329. even in real estate,Copy !req
330. that's the devil's wages,Copy !req
331. and I will not have nothing
to do with that.Copy !req
332. I was starting to think
you weren't gonna show.Copy !req
333. You all right?Copy !req
334. We doing this again?Copy !req
335. Doing what?Copy !req
336. You calling me in here.Copy !req
337. Find out if my mess is gonna
end up in your lap.Copy !req
338. Is it?Copy !req
339. You don't need to worry, okay?Copy !req
340. I did what needed to be done.Copy !req
341. I've always done exactly
what needed to be done.Copy !req
342. To keep you protected and happy,
keep the product moving,Copy !req
343. make the money, everything!Copy !req
344. Everything.Copy !req
345. I understand what
you're going though.Copy !req
346. You understand exactly zeroCopy !req
347. of what the fuck
I'm going through, Reed.Copy !req
348. You got blood on your hands.Copy !req
349. You have innocent blood
on your hands, even.Copy !req
350. You're responsible for the livesCopy !req
351. of everybody you love,Copy !req
352. and you're worried all the time.Copy !req
353. And you're afraid.Copy !req
354. "What if I made
a grave miscalculation?"Copy !req
355. And inside of all that,
you're completely,Copy !req
356. utterly alone.Copy !req
357. When does it end, Reed?Copy !req
358. I don't know.Copy !req
359. But...Copy !req
360. until then...Copy !req
361. I'll be right here with you.Copy !req
362. There are things
I wanted to say.Copy !req
363. Um, because I'm guessing that
after I leave,Copy !req
364. unless it's about Paul,
you and I won't—Copy !req
365. won't be speaking for a while.Copy !req
366. I wanted you to know
how sorry I am.Copy !req
367. Not for what I did, but that
I had to hurt you to do it.Copy !req
368. I don't know how else to try
to make you understandCopy !req
369. how scared I am for you,Copy !req
370. except to say thatCopy !req
371. choosing between losing you...Copy !req
372. and seeing you destroyed,
I did the only thingCopy !req
373. that I felt I could live with.Copy !req
374. I know you can't
believe me right now,Copy !req
375. but everything I said...Copy !req
376. everything I felt was true.Copy !req
377. It's not too late, Teddy.Copy !req
378. We could still have a life.Copy !req
379. Please come with me.Copy !req
380. You should leave your keys
on the table before you go.Copy !req
381. Returning a page.Copy !req
382. Yeah, I can be there in-in 30.Copy !req
383. Keep your hands on the wheel.Copy !req
384. You arresting me?Copy !req
385. Andre Wright was my friend.Copy !req
386. But more than that,
he was my partner.Copy !req
387. Do you understand
what that means?Copy !req
388. I've got an idea.Copy !req
389. I was with him hours before.Copy !req
390. That was not a man
contemplating suicide.Copy !req
391. But what I couldn't figure outCopy !req
392. is how somebody made it look
so convincing.Copy !req
393. How he would let anybody
get that close.Copy !req
394. You knew him for
a long time, right?Copy !req
395. - Since I was a child.
- So I betCopy !req
396. he let you get real close.Copy !req
397. Like this.Copy !req
398. Andre thought he could
stop the rain from coming.Copy !req
399. Ain't a fucking thing you can do
with a man like that.Copy !req
400. If you're gonna kill me...Copy !req
401. get on with it.Copy !req
402. If you want a bullet,Copy !req
403. I'd be more than happy
to give it to you.Copy !req
404. - But if you want to live...Copy !req
405. maybe you and I can
work something out.Copy !req
406. The almighty dollar.Copy !req
407. Yeah.Copy !req
408. So long as you got
enough of 'em.Copy !req
409. I've got plenty.Copy !req
410. And you'll make sure none of
your buddies go rogue...Copy !req
411. decide to come after
me and mine?Copy !req
412. You'll be covered.Copy !req
413. But get one thing straight.Copy !req
414. You work for me.Copy !req
415. It's whatever I want
whenever I want it.Copy !req
416. You understand?Copy !req
417. Yes, Officer.Copy !req
418. Don't get smart, Franklin.Copy !req
419. Because I promise I'll never
let you get that close.Copy !req
420. Drive safe.Copy !req
421. It's just awful
what happened to Andre.Copy !req
422. Last week I saw him
coming home from work, and...Copy !req
423. now he's dead.Copy !req
424. I never thought he'd be capable
of something like that.Copy !req
425. So sad.Copy !req
426. You know he did it, right?Copy !req
427. Either Franklin killed AndreCopy !req
428. - or he had him killed.
