01x08 - The Pull
Posted: 10/24/08 18:00
So where are we at with McKeevy's cash?
Called in every marker we had. Picked up another 40 grand.
Bobby got that gig in Laughlin. The owner fronted him the pay already.
Here's five grand more for the pot.
We got 130.
McKeevy heads back to Ireland tomorrow... and he's gonna need his whole 200 "K" by tonight.
We got one more place left to go.
The p*rn queen.
Otto's old lady?
Gemma says Luann is picking up two G's a week just from ad revenue from her Web site.
Yeah. Factor in membership fees, downloads- She's making three times that much.
You should have Gemma talk to Luann. They're tight. Keep us clear of it.
That makes sense.
All right, well, I'm going to St. Thomas anyway.
I'll talk to Mom.
Kid gets out of the toaster today.
You get to hold your son?
[Chattering]
That's great, Jackie boy. Congrats.
Seriously.
At least we know one good thing's gonna happen today, huh?
[Vehicles Approaching]
Wait here, huh?
I thought we agreed to meet alone.
My son Esai. I don't travel far from home without family.
Well, hombre, you've got a lot of family.
What do you want?
How's your beef going with the Niner's?
You guys making any ground stepping on that heroin monopoly?
Eh, it sucks when the competition's got all the big g*ns.
You make me drive 40 minutes to sh*t talk me, assh*le?
No.
Got something you might find interesting.
Hope it's your last will and testament.
No. It's part of an A.T.F. File on the Sons.
How'd you like to take over SAMCRO's g*n business?
n*gg*r*s can't buy g*ns, can't protect their heroin.
Mayans win out on two fronts- horse trade and g*n running.
Their Irish g*n supplier.
This is legit?
I also know when, what and how their g*ns are coming in.
Everything you need to intercept and renegotiate the distribution agreement.
Where'd you get this?
It's a going away gift from a disgruntled agent.
Enemy of an enemy's a friend, right?
So what do you say... friend?
What do you want?
Same thing I always wanted.
Charming.
You k*ll Clay Morrow... and while the chicken's running around without a head, you hit the rest.
Wipe out SAMCRO.
That's it? A simple little m*ssacre?
You sucking your own pipe, gray boy?
Charming P.D. And the feds have hit a wall with these bastards.
They sent me this file for a reason.
Now, do you really think they're gonna give a sh*t about an outlaw bl**dbath?
They'll count the bod*es, count their blessings, and close the case.
All right.
Hey, hold it.
It's not that simple, man.
No. It is that simple, man.
You hit Clay first, then you k*ll the rest.
I get Charming. You get the g*n intel.
Now what part of that is confusing your little brown brain?
Do it quick before they catch on.
[Can Hits Ground]
What'd he want?
Gotta put down a couple of dogs making my life miserable.
Let me and my boys do it.
You think you can handle that weight?
Just tell me who.
SAMCRO boss.
And that greedy cr*cker shithead.

[Door Opens]
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to go off on you last night.
I'm sorry too.
It was a crazy day.
Strange time, Jax.
So much sh*t is changing.
I just worry-
About you, about him.
About Tara.
What happened with me and Tara... is ancient history, Mom.
She hurt this family. Tried to pull you away.
I didn't leave, did I?
But she did. Broke your heart.
I guess.
You guess?
She crushed you, Jax.
I was 19. It was first love bullshit.
I grew up. I got over it.
It's time you got over it too.
Somebody hurts your baby, you never get over it.
Dr. Namid's still in surgery.
It's gonna be awhile before they take him out of there.
Yeah. I came early to talk to you.
We need a favor.
Hey, baby. Is Abel out yet?
No, not yet.
Appreciate you coming.
Oh, I wouldn't miss it.
Can we talk?
I need to ask you a favor.
Sure.
What is it?
Well, it's not for me, actually. It's for the club.
They need 70 grand, cash, by the end of the day.
What happened?
I don't know details.
You want me to front the money?
A loan. Yes.
[Exhales]
That's a lot of cash.
I don't know, Gemma.
I got a pretty good idea what your bank account looks like.
What does that mean?
Oh, come on. Don't get all humble now.
You're always bragging about the business-
The money, the Corvette, new tits.
Here's a chance to use your cash for something that matters.
I paid my dues.
Six years of taking two in the ass while some teenager blew a load on my face.
I earned that producer's chair.
No one said you didn't earn it.
But Otto is the one who fronted you the money- pulled those dicks out of your ass so you could put it in that chair.
Don't you ever forget that.
[Exhales]
I could probably get my hands on 50.
Maybe 55.
That would really help. Thank you.
Twenty percent.
What?
Interest.
It's business.
You'd better rethink that percentage.
Bad sh*t happens to greedy wh*res.
Five percent.
Get it.
Oh, sh*t.
[Sirens Blaring]
Come on, man. Get up on the hood.
Okay, man. Okay.
[Sirens Continue]
sh*t.
On three. One, two, three.
[Man] Okay. All right.
[Screaming]
You'll be okay.
You're gonna be all right.
[Screaming Continues]
All right, you've got help now.
[E.M. T.] Hold on, sir.
Darby runs his meth lab out of a d*esel yard in Pope.
It's where all the mill drivers score their crank.
This is definitely Darby's sh*t.
This rock's been stepped on so many times, it's barely a narcotic.
See, Darby's making his move into Charming dealing at that lumber mill.
Clay, we gotta send this n*zi assh*le a clear message now.
All right-
Why don't we just go talk to the driver?
Ask him where he bought the meth.
Go.
[Chibs] How's McKeevy's cash piling up?
Luann came up with 55. We need 15 more.
We got six hours to find it.
If you ever want to own a top rocker, prospect...
then you better bring 15 grand to the table, sharpish.
You got me?
[Indistinct Conversations]
[Elevator Bell Dings]
[Jax] Darby's guys.
Can't be good.
[Man Groaning]
Holy sh*t.
Andy.
[Groans]
Who did this to you?
Nords.
Why?
I was in way deep with Darby on my crank debt.
Like 2,700.
Where you buying?
Up in Pope.
Not in Charming?
Can't score sh*t in this town.
[Opie] Anybody you want us to call? Family or friends?
No.
Oswald's gonna fire my ass when he finds that tanker empty, man.
What are you talking about?
Well, the Nords said that the d*esel was payment for my crank debt... so they came here, they b*at the sh*t out of me... and they took my keys.
It was a full tanker?
Yeah.
It's at the county impound off the 18.
Well, there goes our 15 grand.
It's g*dd*mn S.O.A. - Yeah, here we go.
[Grunts]
[Tires Squeal]
[Tires Squeal]
[g*nshot]
[Groans]
[Grunts]
[Tires Squeal]
[Horn Honking]
[Tires Squealing]
[Groans]
[Tires Squeal]
What the hell, assh*le!
Easy, white boy.
Put it on the ground.
Dude, handle this for me.
Where are you going?
Get my top rocker.
What?
[Juice] Oh, no, you're not.
[Engine Starts]
Yes, you are.
[Chuckles]
What the hell am I doing meeting you out here in the middle of nowhere?
Official police business.
Darby is dealing meth at the d*esel yard up in Pope.
And why would I give a sh*t what happens in Pope?
I don't know.
Just felt it was my civic duty to share information on a crime.
You know? Set a good example and all.
Yeah. SAMCRO is a leader in perpetuating civic reform.
[Chuckles]
Why am I looking at one of Oswald's tankers?
Ah. Leads us to our next conversation- with the owner of Unser Trucking.
It's 8,500 gallons of d*esel.
It's yours for 20 "K."
Stolen d*esel.
Gas costs gotta be k*lling your bottom line.
I'm offering you a 50% discount.
Half the cost, twice the risk.
Come on. You fill your pumps after dark... and a uni finds the tanker on the side of the road.
Insurance covers Oswald... and you run your trucks at a buck-ninety a gallon for the next six weeks.
Where's the risk in that?
Jesus Christ. Can you at least pretend I'm a cop sometimes?
I'm gonna need that in cash.
[Chuckles]
So you stole an ambulance?
I had nothing to do with this.
Yeah.
Hell, these things are worth, like, a hundred grand, easy.
Yeah, they are.
That's why the people who buy 'em are, like, state and federal agencies and sh*t.
Okay.
So, uh, what?
You want me to sell a stolen vehicle to the government?
[Laughter]
Oh. Uh, just-
Something like a small hospital or something.
Oh, like, uh, Uncle Freddy's Infirmary? What?
Why don't you just steal, like, a fire engine?
And then we could have our own rescue center.
We could have our own little uniforms and hats.
Okay, I get it.
That's great. I was just trying to, you know, show a little initiative.
Hey, Chibs, get rid of this thing as soon as it gets dark.
You got it.
What the hell is this?
My prospect.
Just, you know, thinking outside of the box.
You get a chance to talk to that tanker driver? - Yeah.
Nords aren't dealing at the mill.
Driver bought the crank up in Pope.
That's where he filled his tanker with d*esel- that I just sold to Unser.
We're flush for the Irish.
Nah. Nah.
[Laughter]
My brother. Ah, my brother.
[Juice] Speech.
[Voice OfJohn Teller] Einstein said that any intelligent fool... can make things bigger, more complex and more violent.
But it takes a touch of genius and lots of courage... to move something in the opposite direction.
I'm realizing that my touch of genius and my courage... are coming too little, too late.
And I fear that for Sam Crow, there may be no opposite direction.
[Knocking]
Jackie boy, Clay's waiting.
Okay.
Come on, kid.
We're all set. Devon just called.
The Irishman will meet you in the bar in half an hour.
Guess you'll need that.
Yeah. I guess I will.
[Vehicle Approaching]
Hey, I been calling you on the cell.
They're taking Abel out of the incubation chamber.
Oh, sh*t. Okay.
Get your ass over there, Dad.
Yup.
Hey, baby.
Plain clothes?
Where you going?
Meeting an Irishman for a drink.
Well, be careful.
[Motorcycle Engine Starts]
Hey, Tig.
Yeah, darlin'?
Watch him.
Absolutely.
[Billiard Balls Clacking]
Hey.
Where's McKeevy?
Don't know.
His cousin's waiting for you.
You know this guy?
He's with the cause.
Doesn't come stateside much. Must be important.
Cam Hayes. Michael's cousin.
Clay Morrow.
Tig.
Have a seat, please.
Where is he?
He's d*ad.
Jesus. How?
The Oakland park commissioner threatened to bust open... a shipment we got coming in on Monday.
Wants to triple his payoff money.
Hefner. Greedy prick.
Been riding roughshod over the ports for years.
Michael was pissed. Went off on him for changing the deal.
Must have spooked Hefner.
He had his port g*ons jump Michael.
They b*at him, broke his neck.
Left him for d*ad.
Sorry.
That's awful sh*t, man. Condolences.
Thank you.
Anything we can do to help with this?
No. No, it's personal.
I'll handle Mr. Hefner.
Michael spoke very highly of SAMCRO. Trusted you.
Hope to be able to continue the relationship. That's why I'm here.
I'll be your new contact.
I mean no disrespect.
I'm sure everything you're saying is the truth-
No, no.
Wish we had a secret handshake or business card.
That's the package there that we were delivering to McKeevy.
Two months, and a month insurance, 200 "K."
Mind if I take a quick count?
I got all night, brother.
Thank you.
Hey. Hey.
[Laughs]
I don't know how to break this to you, kid.
But I'm your old man.
[Door Shuts]
[Man]
Are you kidding me?
These guys are a joke.
Is it just me?
Or are they horrible?
[p*stol Cocks]
Lovely. This will float the cause, keep SAMCRO and us in business.
Glad we could work it out, Clay.
Me too, Cameron.
How is, uh, the cause going?
Like any good w*r- slow and steady.
Michael McKeevy.
Good sold*er, good friend.
To a unified Ireland.
It'll never happen through nonviolence.
[Clay] Hear! Hear!
What the hell do you guys want?

I can't track down Gemma though.
She's at the hospital with the kid.
Okay. Good.
Where's McKeevy?
He's d*ad.
Port commissioner had him b*at to death.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
We'll get rid of the Mexicans.
All right. We'll take care of Cam.
He's hurt real bad. We gotta get him back to the clubhouse somehow.
Not a problem.
Uncle Freddy's Infirmary at your service.
[Juice] Here we go.
I got you.
Aaah!
Slugs are deep.
Do you know what the hell you're doing, Scotsman?
Yeah.
Five months in Her Majesty's armed forces as a medic.
Five months, eh?
Till I was court-martialed. [Laughs]
Oh, great.
You think this hit was just about us? Or us and the Irishman?
I don't know.
How would Alvarez know about the Irish?
Darby, man.
It was Darby.
The Nords and the Mayans have joined forces.
I saw it happening weeks ago when we blew up that warehouse.
I told you we should've handled it then.
This is Bloody Sunday, brother.
We gotta call in all the Sons.
All of them. k*ll this cr*cker/w*tback alliance now.
Tig's right.
We need bod*es, need g*ns.
You with us here?
We're not ready for w*r.
We got no cash. We got no w*apons surplus.
Not to mention A.T.F.'s still in place.
We can find cash and w*apons.
The question is, are you with us here?
Can you give us a minute?
Yeah, sure.
You think I'm distracted?
All this sh*t with my kid?
I'm very concerned about your focus... but I'm having serious doubts about your level of commitment to this club.
I risked my life for 15 grand today because this club needed it.
My commitment hasn't changed.
And the damage that happened to my family? Yeah.
I'm seeing things different.
Big picture sh*t- For me, this club.
But I ain't afraid to get bloody, Clay.
I'm just afraid all that blood's gonna k*ll Sam Crow.
Alvarez tried to assassinate me today.
Right now, this is only about blood.
And I'll worry about all that- that big picture sh*t... after this score gets settled.
[Exhales]
We even out this sh*t with Alvarez... it's gonna tr*gger a lot of S.O.A. /Mayan beefs.
I want you and Juice to get on the horn. All right?
Washington, Utah, Nevada- I want the number one and the number two... in Charming by the end of day tomorrow.
Clay, I'm worried about this, okay?
Now, Jax is smart. And I appreciate his lead on a lot of stuff.
But where we gotta go now- It ain't about being smart.
It's about k*lling sh*t.
I know.
No, no.
I mean, I don't trust him.
When push comes to blood, I don't.
I don't think he's got the balls to pull a tr*gger, you hear what I'm saying?
I hear you.
I hear you.
The slug in his ass may have hit an artery.
It's probably the only thing that's slowing down the blood loss.
The only way we're gonna save this guy is we get some surgical tools.
Like what?
Scalpels, clamps, sutures, needles-
All that kind of sh*t.
What happened?
Ask him.
Oh, my God.
I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine.
I knew it. g*dd*mn it.
I knew something bad was happening.
Holy sh*t.
Where'd we get an ambulance?
[Chibs] Numb-nuts stole it.
We'll patch up the Irishman.
All right. So what do you need me to do?
Well, we're gonna have a full house tomorrow.
Maybe you could prep that- You know, food, booze.
Okay.
I'll get the girls into it.
Mm-hmm.
Man, I hate this sh*t. - Mmm.
Love you.
Love you.
Careful.
I love you.
Love you too.
[Hayes Groaning] - [Chibs] Calm down.
Come on, hold him. Hold him. Hold him.
Chibs.
Yeah?
Make a list of the surgical sh*t you need.
I'll call Tara, see if she can help.
Okay, kid.
I appreciate you helping us out.
Well, I'll see what I have in my kit.
L-I couldn't take anything from St. Thomas.
They inventory.
Yeah, of course.
Whatever you have's fine.
Here's some of the things you need.
Great. Thanks.
[Clears Throat]
I'm not sure what's going on, Jax... but I hope it works out okay.
[Whispers]
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
For what?
You know, when I heard you were back in town...
I ran the scenario of how this would work-
You and me.
What'd it look like?
Like this.
You wondering what kind of bad sh*t I was doing.
Me saying I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I guess this conversation feels familiar.
Yeah.
Because I'm the same guy, wearing the same cut.
But you-You're someone different, Doc.
That's a good thing.
Tonight...
I saw a father who loves his son.
No fear of being vulnerable, of letting someone in.
It might be the same cut, but it's not the same guy.
Good night.
No! No!
Shh, shh.
[Muffled]
Jax!
No! No! Jax! Jax!
Shh, shh, shh.
Shh.
Good-bye, Mr. Crow.
Shh. You okay?
Jax!
No screaming. You understand?
You're hurting me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I had to do it this way, Tara.
But I just- I needed five minutes... and I knew there was no other way.
You're in a lot of trouble, Josh.
Please, just leave. I won't say anything.
Five minutes. I just need-
I need five g*dd*mn minutes!
Okay.
Sure. Five minutes.
Let's start over.
Okay?
Thank you for giving me this chance.
I know that my behavior has been less than chivalrous... and I apologize for that.
Sometimes love- passion- inspires a man's baser instincts.
He does things he's not proud of.
I'm sorry for those things.
I never meant to scare you.
But the restraining order- Come on.
That was so out of the blue.
And it made me feel like some kind of psycho.
I'm sorry.
I heard you, uh, talking to Teller out there.
Sounded kind of intimate.
You and him-
That can never happen. You know that.
You know that's all wrong, don't you?
It's okay. Water under the bridge.
All that matters... is this moment right now-
You and me, Tara.
We have the chance to put it all on the table. Work it out.
Build the foundation that this relationship needs.
Yes. Right.
Why don't you-Why don't you start?
Okay.
[Sighs]
I guess I should talk about, uh-
What do you want me to-
No- Oh, sweetie-
This is about what you want.
This is your opportunity to clear the air.
Tell me everything that you think doesn't work in our relationship.
Be straight with me- Brutally honest.
Okay.
Um-
I guess, you know...
I was concerned.
Back in Chicago, you- you were very possessive.
Yes.
That's true. Yes.
And l- l- I got-
Frightened. I know.
Sometimes my energy can be very big.
I'm an intense guy. And l-l- I own that.
Yes.
Right. I got frightened. That's why I filed the restraining order.
But you know now... that there was nothing to be afraid of, right?
You just, uh-
You weren't used to being loved... so deeply.
Oh. [Laughs]
Okay, relax.
Tar-Tar- My little worry wart.
Is there anything else you- you need to tell me?
Get off your conscience?
Our baby?
You don't want to mention that?
I had an abortion at six weeks. It was never a baby.
That's right. You had an abortion.
Didn't bother to ask me how I felt about it.
It was my baby too.
It was never a baby.
Oh!
You never gave him a chance.
Oh!
[Grunts]
I know in my heart this is the right thing.
What I feel for you, is-
It's deep. It's-
It's God given.

Called in every marker we had. Picked up another 40 grand.
Bobby got that gig in Laughlin. The owner fronted him the pay already.
Here's five grand more for the pot.
We got 130.
McKeevy heads back to Ireland tomorrow... and he's gonna need his whole 200 "K" by tonight.
We got one more place left to go.
The p*rn queen.
Otto's old lady?
Gemma says Luann is picking up two G's a week just from ad revenue from her Web site.
Yeah. Factor in membership fees, downloads- She's making three times that much.
You should have Gemma talk to Luann. They're tight. Keep us clear of it.
That makes sense.
All right, well, I'm going to St. Thomas anyway.
I'll talk to Mom.
Kid gets out of the toaster today.
You get to hold your son?
[Chattering]
That's great, Jackie boy. Congrats.
Seriously.
At least we know one good thing's gonna happen today, huh?
[Vehicles Approaching]
Wait here, huh?
I thought we agreed to meet alone.
My son Esai. I don't travel far from home without family.
Well, hombre, you've got a lot of family.
What do you want?
How's your beef going with the Niner's?
You guys making any ground stepping on that heroin monopoly?
Eh, it sucks when the competition's got all the big g*ns.
You make me drive 40 minutes to sh*t talk me, assh*le?
No.
Got something you might find interesting.
Hope it's your last will and testament.
No. It's part of an A.T.F. File on the Sons.
How'd you like to take over SAMCRO's g*n business?
n*gg*r*s can't buy g*ns, can't protect their heroin.
Mayans win out on two fronts- horse trade and g*n running.
Their Irish g*n supplier.
This is legit?
I also know when, what and how their g*ns are coming in.
Everything you need to intercept and renegotiate the distribution agreement.
Where'd you get this?
It's a going away gift from a disgruntled agent.
Enemy of an enemy's a friend, right?
So what do you say... friend?
What do you want?
Same thing I always wanted.
Charming.
You k*ll Clay Morrow... and while the chicken's running around without a head, you hit the rest.
Wipe out SAMCRO.
That's it? A simple little m*ssacre?
You sucking your own pipe, gray boy?
Charming P.D. And the feds have hit a wall with these bastards.
They sent me this file for a reason.
Now, do you really think they're gonna give a sh*t about an outlaw bl**dbath?
They'll count the bod*es, count their blessings, and close the case.
All right.
Hey, hold it.
It's not that simple, man.
No. It is that simple, man.
You hit Clay first, then you k*ll the rest.
I get Charming. You get the g*n intel.
Now what part of that is confusing your little brown brain?
Do it quick before they catch on.
[Can Hits Ground]
What'd he want?
Gotta put down a couple of dogs making my life miserable.
Let me and my boys do it.
You think you can handle that weight?
Just tell me who.
SAMCRO boss.
And that greedy cr*cker shithead.

[Door Opens]
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to go off on you last night.
I'm sorry too.
It was a crazy day.
Strange time, Jax.
So much sh*t is changing.
I just worry-
About you, about him.
About Tara.
What happened with me and Tara... is ancient history, Mom.
She hurt this family. Tried to pull you away.
I didn't leave, did I?
But she did. Broke your heart.
I guess.
You guess?
She crushed you, Jax.
I was 19. It was first love bullshit.
I grew up. I got over it.
It's time you got over it too.
Somebody hurts your baby, you never get over it.
Dr. Namid's still in surgery.
It's gonna be awhile before they take him out of there.
Yeah. I came early to talk to you.
We need a favor.
Hey, baby. Is Abel out yet?
No, not yet.
Appreciate you coming.
Oh, I wouldn't miss it.
Can we talk?
I need to ask you a favor.
Sure.
What is it?
Well, it's not for me, actually. It's for the club.
They need 70 grand, cash, by the end of the day.
What happened?
I don't know details.
You want me to front the money?
A loan. Yes.
[Exhales]
That's a lot of cash.
I don't know, Gemma.
I got a pretty good idea what your bank account looks like.
What does that mean?
Oh, come on. Don't get all humble now.
You're always bragging about the business-
The money, the Corvette, new tits.
Here's a chance to use your cash for something that matters.
I paid my dues.
Six years of taking two in the ass while some teenager blew a load on my face.
I earned that producer's chair.
No one said you didn't earn it.
But Otto is the one who fronted you the money- pulled those dicks out of your ass so you could put it in that chair.
Don't you ever forget that.
[Exhales]
I could probably get my hands on 50.
Maybe 55.
That would really help. Thank you.
Twenty percent.
What?
Interest.
It's business.
You'd better rethink that percentage.
Bad sh*t happens to greedy wh*res.
Five percent.
Get it.
Oh, sh*t.
[Sirens Blaring]
Come on, man. Get up on the hood.
Okay, man. Okay.
[Sirens Continue]
sh*t.
On three. One, two, three.
[Man] Okay. All right.
[Screaming]
You'll be okay.
You're gonna be all right.
[Screaming Continues]
All right, you've got help now.
[E.M. T.] Hold on, sir.
Darby runs his meth lab out of a d*esel yard in Pope.
It's where all the mill drivers score their crank.
This is definitely Darby's sh*t.
This rock's been stepped on so many times, it's barely a narcotic.
See, Darby's making his move into Charming dealing at that lumber mill.
Clay, we gotta send this n*zi assh*le a clear message now.
All right-
Why don't we just go talk to the driver?
Ask him where he bought the meth.
Go.
[Chibs] How's McKeevy's cash piling up?
Luann came up with 55. We need 15 more.
We got six hours to find it.
If you ever want to own a top rocker, prospect...
then you better bring 15 grand to the table, sharpish.
You got me?
[Indistinct Conversations]
[Elevator Bell Dings]
[Jax] Darby's guys.
Can't be good.
[Man Groaning]
Holy sh*t.
Andy.
[Groans]
Who did this to you?
Nords.
Why?
I was in way deep with Darby on my crank debt.
Like 2,700.
Where you buying?
Up in Pope.
Not in Charming?
Can't score sh*t in this town.
[Opie] Anybody you want us to call? Family or friends?
No.
Oswald's gonna fire my ass when he finds that tanker empty, man.
What are you talking about?
Well, the Nords said that the d*esel was payment for my crank debt... so they came here, they b*at the sh*t out of me... and they took my keys.
It was a full tanker?
Yeah.
It's at the county impound off the 18.
Well, there goes our 15 grand.
It's g*dd*mn S.O.A. - Yeah, here we go.
[Grunts]
[Tires Squeal]

[Horn Honking]

What the hell, assh*le!
Easy, white boy.
Put it on the ground.
Dude, handle this for me.
Where are you going?
Get my top rocker.
What?
[Juice] Oh, no, you're not.
[Engine Starts]
Yes, you are.
[Chuckles]
What the hell am I doing meeting you out here in the middle of nowhere?
Official police business.
Darby is dealing meth at the d*esel yard up in Pope.
And why would I give a sh*t what happens in Pope?
I don't know.
Just felt it was my civic duty to share information on a crime.
You know? Set a good example and all.
Yeah. SAMCRO is a leader in perpetuating civic reform.
[Chuckles]
Why am I looking at one of Oswald's tankers?
Ah. Leads us to our next conversation- with the owner of Unser Trucking.
It's 8,500 gallons of d*esel.
It's yours for 20 "K."
Stolen d*esel.
Gas costs gotta be k*lling your bottom line.
I'm offering you a 50% discount.
Half the cost, twice the risk.
Come on. You fill your pumps after dark... and a uni finds the tanker on the side of the road.
Insurance covers Oswald... and you run your trucks at a buck-ninety a gallon for the next six weeks.
Where's the risk in that?
Jesus Christ. Can you at least pretend I'm a cop sometimes?
I'm gonna need that in cash.
[Chuckles]
So you stole an ambulance?
I had nothing to do with this.
Yeah.
Hell, these things are worth, like, a hundred grand, easy.
Yeah, they are.
That's why the people who buy 'em are, like, state and federal agencies and sh*t.
Okay.
So, uh, what?
You want me to sell a stolen vehicle to the government?
[Laughter]
Oh. Uh, just-
Something like a small hospital or something.
Oh, like, uh, Uncle Freddy's Infirmary? What?
Why don't you just steal, like, a fire engine?
And then we could have our own rescue center.
We could have our own little uniforms and hats.
Okay, I get it.
That's great. I was just trying to, you know, show a little initiative.
Hey, Chibs, get rid of this thing as soon as it gets dark.
You got it.
What the hell is this?
My prospect.
Just, you know, thinking outside of the box.
You get a chance to talk to that tanker driver? - Yeah.
Nords aren't dealing at the mill.
Driver bought the crank up in Pope.
That's where he filled his tanker with d*esel- that I just sold to Unser.
We're flush for the Irish.
Nah. Nah.
[Laughter]
My brother. Ah, my brother.
[Juice] Speech.
[Voice OfJohn Teller] Einstein said that any intelligent fool... can make things bigger, more complex and more violent.
But it takes a touch of genius and lots of courage... to move something in the opposite direction.
I'm realizing that my touch of genius and my courage... are coming too little, too late.
And I fear that for Sam Crow, there may be no opposite direction.
[Knocking]
Jackie boy, Clay's waiting.
Okay.
Come on, kid.
We're all set. Devon just called.
The Irishman will meet you in the bar in half an hour.
Guess you'll need that.
Yeah. I guess I will.
[Vehicle Approaching]
Hey, I been calling you on the cell.
They're taking Abel out of the incubation chamber.
Oh, sh*t. Okay.
Get your ass over there, Dad.
Yup.
Hey, baby.
Plain clothes?
Where you going?
Meeting an Irishman for a drink.
Well, be careful.
[Motorcycle Engine Starts]
Hey, Tig.
Yeah, darlin'?
Watch him.
Absolutely.
[Billiard Balls Clacking]
Hey.
Where's McKeevy?
Don't know.
His cousin's waiting for you.
You know this guy?
He's with the cause.
Doesn't come stateside much. Must be important.
Cam Hayes. Michael's cousin.
Clay Morrow.
Tig.
Have a seat, please.
Where is he?
He's d*ad.
Jesus. How?
The Oakland park commissioner threatened to bust open... a shipment we got coming in on Monday.
Wants to triple his payoff money.
Hefner. Greedy prick.
Been riding roughshod over the ports for years.
Michael was pissed. Went off on him for changing the deal.
Must have spooked Hefner.
He had his port g*ons jump Michael.
They b*at him, broke his neck.
Left him for d*ad.
Sorry.
That's awful sh*t, man. Condolences.
Thank you.
Anything we can do to help with this?
No. No, it's personal.
I'll handle Mr. Hefner.
Michael spoke very highly of SAMCRO. Trusted you.
Hope to be able to continue the relationship. That's why I'm here.
I'll be your new contact.
I mean no disrespect.
I'm sure everything you're saying is the truth-
No, no.
Wish we had a secret handshake or business card.
That's the package there that we were delivering to McKeevy.
Two months, and a month insurance, 200 "K."
Mind if I take a quick count?
I got all night, brother.
Thank you.
Hey. Hey.
[Laughs]
I don't know how to break this to you, kid.
But I'm your old man.
[Door Shuts]
[Man]
Are you kidding me?
These guys are a joke.
Is it just me?
Or are they horrible?
[p*stol Cocks]
Lovely. This will float the cause, keep SAMCRO and us in business.
Glad we could work it out, Clay.
Me too, Cameron.
How is, uh, the cause going?
Like any good w*r- slow and steady.
Michael McKeevy.
Good sold*er, good friend.
To a unified Ireland.
It'll never happen through nonviolence.

He's hurt real bad. We gotta get him back to the clubhouse somehow.
Not a problem.
Uncle Freddy's Infirmary at your service.
[Juice] Here we go.
I got you.
Aaah!
Slugs are deep.
Do you know what the hell you're doing, Scotsman?
Yeah.
Five months in Her Majesty's armed forces as a medic.
Five months, eh?
Till I was court-martialed. [Laughs]
Oh, great.
You think this hit was just about us? Or us and the Irishman?
I don't know.
How would Alvarez know about the Irish?
Darby, man.
It was Darby.
The Nords and the Mayans have joined forces.
I saw it happening weeks ago when we blew up that warehouse.
I told you we should've handled it then.
This is Bloody Sunday, brother.
We gotta call in all the Sons.
All of them. k*ll this cr*cker/w*tback alliance now.
Tig's right.
We need bod*es, need g*ns.
You with us here?
We're not ready for w*r.
We got no cash. We got no w*apons surplus.
Not to mention A.T.F.'s still in place.
We can find cash and w*apons.
The question is, are you with us here?
Can you give us a minute?
Yeah, sure.
You think I'm distracted?
All this sh*t with my kid?
I'm very concerned about your focus... but I'm having serious doubts about your level of commitment to this club.
I risked my life for 15 grand today because this club needed it.
My commitment hasn't changed.
And the damage that happened to my family? Yeah.
I'm seeing things different.
Big picture sh*t- For me, this club.
But I ain't afraid to get bloody, Clay.
I'm just afraid all that blood's gonna k*ll Sam Crow.
Alvarez tried to assassinate me today.
Right now, this is only about blood.
And I'll worry about all that- that big picture sh*t... after this score gets settled.
[Exhales]
We even out this sh*t with Alvarez... it's gonna tr*gger a lot of S.O.A. /Mayan beefs.
I want you and Juice to get on the horn. All right?
Washington, Utah, Nevada- I want the number one and the number two... in Charming by the end of day tomorrow.
Clay, I'm worried about this, okay?
Now, Jax is smart. And I appreciate his lead on a lot of stuff.
But where we gotta go now- It ain't about being smart.
It's about k*lling sh*t.
I know.
No, no.
I mean, I don't trust him.
When push comes to blood, I don't.
I don't think he's got the balls to pull a tr*gger, you hear what I'm saying?
I hear you.
I hear you.
The slug in his ass may have hit an artery.
It's probably the only thing that's slowing down the blood loss.
The only way we're gonna save this guy is we get some surgical tools.
Like what?
Scalpels, clamps, sutures, needles-
All that kind of sh*t.
What happened?
Ask him.
Oh, my God.
I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm fine.
I knew it. g*dd*mn it.
I knew something bad was happening.
Holy sh*t.
Where'd we get an ambulance?
[Chibs] Numb-nuts stole it.
We'll patch up the Irishman.
All right. So what do you need me to do?
Well, we're gonna have a full house tomorrow.
Maybe you could prep that- You know, food, booze.
Okay.
I'll get the girls into it.
Mm-hmm.
Man, I hate this sh*t. - Mmm.
Love you.
Love you.
Careful.
I love you.
Love you too.
[Hayes Groaning] - [Chibs] Calm down.
Come on, hold him. Hold him. Hold him.
Chibs.
Yeah?
Make a list of the surgical sh*t you need.
I'll call Tara, see if she can help.
Okay, kid.
I appreciate you helping us out.
Well, I'll see what I have in my kit.
L-I couldn't take anything from St. Thomas.
They inventory.
Yeah, of course.
Whatever you have's fine.
Here's some of the things you need.
Great. Thanks.
[Clears Throat]
I'm not sure what's going on, Jax... but I hope it works out okay.
[Whispers]
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
For what?
You know, when I heard you were back in town...
I ran the scenario of how this would work-
You and me.
What'd it look like?
Like this.
You wondering what kind of bad sh*t I was doing.
Me saying I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I guess this conversation feels familiar.
Yeah.
Because I'm the same guy, wearing the same cut.
But you-You're someone different, Doc.
That's a good thing.
Tonight...
I saw a father who loves his son.
No fear of being vulnerable, of letting someone in.
It might be the same cut, but it's not the same guy.
Good night.
No! No!
Shh, shh.
[Muffled]
Jax!
No! No! Jax! Jax!
Shh, shh, shh.
Shh.
Good-bye, Mr. Crow.
Shh. You okay?
Jax!
No screaming. You understand?
You're hurting me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I had to do it this way, Tara.
But I just- I needed five minutes... and I knew there was no other way.
You're in a lot of trouble, Josh.
Please, just leave. I won't say anything.
Five minutes. I just need-
I need five g*dd*mn minutes!
Okay.
Sure. Five minutes.
Let's start over.
Okay?
Thank you for giving me this chance.
I know that my behavior has been less than chivalrous... and I apologize for that.
Sometimes love- passion- inspires a man's baser instincts.
He does things he's not proud of.
I'm sorry for those things.
I never meant to scare you.
But the restraining order- Come on.
That was so out of the blue.
And it made me feel like some kind of psycho.
I'm sorry.
I heard you, uh, talking to Teller out there.
Sounded kind of intimate.
You and him-
That can never happen. You know that.
You know that's all wrong, don't you?
It's okay. Water under the bridge.
All that matters... is this moment right now-
You and me, Tara.
We have the chance to put it all on the table. Work it out.
Build the foundation that this relationship needs.
Yes. Right.
Why don't you-Why don't you start?
Okay.
[Sighs]
I guess I should talk about, uh-
What do you want me to-
No- Oh, sweetie-
This is about what you want.
This is your opportunity to clear the air.
Tell me everything that you think doesn't work in our relationship.
Be straight with me- Brutally honest.
Okay.
Um-
I guess, you know...
I was concerned.
Back in Chicago, you- you were very possessive.
Yes.
That's true. Yes.
And l- l- I got-
Frightened. I know.
Sometimes my energy can be very big.
I'm an intense guy. And l-l- I own that.
Yes.
Right. I got frightened. That's why I filed the restraining order.
But you know now... that there was nothing to be afraid of, right?
You just, uh-
You weren't used to being loved... so deeply.
Oh. [Laughs]
Okay, relax.
Tar-Tar- My little worry wart.
Is there anything else you- you need to tell me?
Get off your conscience?
Our baby?
You don't want to mention that?
I had an abortion at six weeks. It was never a baby.
That's right. You had an abortion.
Didn't bother to ask me how I felt about it.
It was my baby too.
It was never a baby.
Oh!
You never gave him a chance.
Oh!
[Grunts]
I know in my heart this is the right thing.
What I feel for you, is-
It's deep. It's-
It's God given.
