04x01 - From Dublin with Love

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Republic of Doyle:

My car! You think my father k*lled someone?

Do you have any evidence?

If he did what we think he did, there's nothing you or anyone can do to help him.

I know lately there's been some tension between us.

You left me in a shed and you got my phone.

That was an accident.

There was a woman. She had a g*n and she made me undress.

I don't even want to know.

Kathleen, when did you get here?

Tonight.

I think I'm old enough to know who my father is.

You might not like what you hear.

Hey there good buddy.

Crocker.

You be careful, Malachy. Til you figure this out you watch your back.

We're going to do this together. You and me.

[expl*si*n.]

For the record, as much as you annoy me, I would never let you die alone.

Thanks.

[g*nsh*t]

I should sh**t you right now for what you did to my car.

Arrgh, ugh...

Coming through! - His blood pressure is dropping.

Stay with us, Des. Stay strong, alright?

You're going to be okay.

You'll have to get out of the way. There isn't much time.

One, two, three...

[Flatline tone.] He's coding!

All clear.

You can't be in here.

Sir, you have to leave. Now.

Des.

Jake.

♪ [Choral music.] ♪

Single malt.

Only the best.

Nice day for it.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm, you know, I'm best kind.

[Telephone rings]

At the grave. The actual grave. You'll answer the phone?

No, of course not.

Hello!

Hey. I'm, uh, just clearing out Des's things from the hospital.

Poor thing.

[Sighs]

Jake.

It wasn't your fault.

I know.

I just feel like I...

I could have been a better friend to him, you know, a better mentor.

It totally wasn't your fault.

Des, what have I told you about sneaking up on me?

Oh, don't be at it. But listen, I'm gonna be fine. I mean, sure, the b*llet hit my spine and I might not walk right again, but one leg always felt longer than the other anyway.

Jake, you're at your mother's gravesite. Get off the phone.

The graveyard mass is about to start. Have some respect.

I'm talking to Rose, b'y.

Why don't you have some more whiskey and chill out?

You chill!

Emily, I apologise for what our son has become.

An arse.

What's this?

I'll call you back. What is it?

Oh, that's a Celtic knot and I'm pretty sure that that one represents family.

Is that a gift for me? You guys-- you guys are awesome.

I can't believe --

From a land far away I have come, raising hell!

All the way from Ireland!

[JAKE] Uncle Gerald, what are you at?

Jake, my son, how are ya?

It's good to see you.

Ha, ha, ha...

Malachy... you old fiend.

Come here.

Ahh, it's great to see you.

My brother.

[Punch]

Dad!

I'm not your brother!

[JAKE] What the hell are you doing?

At my sister's gravesite. What would Emily say?

Don't even mention her name!

You have no right to be here. None!

Dad! Just -- just calm down. Alright? Calm down.

Malachy. Wait.

Malachy! Wait! Stop!

It's my son, Rory.

He needs your help.

He's in serious trouble.

And I'm going to need your help to save his life.

[ROSE] Well, he almost knocked you back to Belfast, didn't he?

[GERALD] Aye.

I'd forgotten about his temper.

Well, lucky for us, he doesn't show it that often.

You know, Mal and I are still brothers even though Emily has left this world.
God bless her soul.

She had an eternal bond with Mal and that now lies with me.

I don't think it works that way.

Obviously, we're not married.

Dad, what's your problem with Uncle Gerald?

It doesn't concern you.

It does concern me, okay? Rory is my cousin.

And he needs our help. So spill.

Gerald was always involved in some scam or another.

He's never on the up and up.

I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

So you punched Mom's brother in the face because you don't trust him.

You really expect me to believe that?

[Laughs]

All those years ago when she was ill, all she wanted was to see him before she... before she passed.

And he didn't even have the decency to show up, not even a phone call, nothing.

And she dies, wanting to see her brother's face.

Dad, that was a long, long time ago.

Maybe he's changed.

You don't know him. He's a selfish shyster.

Always has been.

[Laughs]

This is some woman you've got here, Malachy. She's some woman.

And some boy here too, wha?

I mean, I have my moments. I'm part of the family, not --

[Telephone rings]

Oh, I should take this...

Hey Gerry. What did ya get your son into?

Whoo. Mean looking guy. Who is he?

Mad Nelson McNulty. Rory owes him money from gambling.

And trust me on this, you don't want to owe Nelson McNulty anything.

And this Nelson, you know him, I guess.

Yeah. We've fifty miles of bad road together.

Of course you do.

Rory high tailed it out of Dublin, jetted across the pond here to St. John's.

Rory must be in pretty deep if this Nelson guy followed him all the way to Newfoundland.

Yeah, I'll go check with the cops, see if they've heard anything or... see if this Nelson guy has made his presence known.

I tracked him to a hotel, but he wasn't there when they checked his room.

Dad, maybe you should retrace Rory's steps.

You might find something.

What, now you want to instruct me in how to be an investigator all of a sudden?

Hey, Crooked! Knock it off!

I'll help you Gerald, but know this, I'm doing this for my nephew, not for the man who taught him everything he knows.

I gotta get home, get out of this suit.

I think he's talking about you, Uncle Gerald.

Hey.

[ROSE] Listen, don't worry about him. You're family.

He'll come around. He will.

Look, I told you I'd have the money -- I already told you that I... I gotta go...

That's my um...

Nothing.

I can use some help on this case, you know, if you're feeling up to it.

I got something I gotta do.

So I can't go with you, so you'll have to deal with that.

Okay. No problem.

[Three sh*ts]

Let's go cadets. Next round. Five minutes left.

Then bring your target sheets up to my office.

This is really impressive, cadet. Nice work.

Thank you.

As you were.

[sh*ts]

Hoodie.

Jake Doyle. And me without my ulcer pills.

What, you guys move offices, thinking that I wouldn't find you?

Yeah, they moved us upstairs, lucky for us.

The moving's been a pain in the ass.

Hey, speaking of being a huge pain in the ass...

No. And go away.

Hood, please, I need you to help me find my cousin.

Help you to track down yet another Doyle?

No, b'y, not likely.

Good news. He's not a Doyle.

Alright, he's a cousin on my mother's side, and he just came over from Ireland.

And my mother passed away a long time ago, so you show some respect.

Your mother's from Ireland. Since when?

She moved over here when she was twelve years old.

Her family always stayed in Ireland.

It doesn't really matter. Are you gonna help me or not?

Leave or I'll arrest ya. Simple.

Ahh, okay. Well, hey, where's Leslie?

Out of town. Personal stuff.

Ahh... if your head was a globe, just point to the part of the world that you think Leslie's to.

I thought it was a good idea.

So... you showed up.

I'm surprised.

Yeah, um... it feels weird to be sneaking around like this.

I feel like Jake senses something, but I'm not sure I could handle that.

Biggest hazard is keeping loved ones away from secrets like this.

So, do we have a deal? Or not?

Are you sure you're even up for this? 'Cause young man, I am warning you, this racket is not cheap.

One thing always leads to another thing, and pretty soon you're in over your head.

Look, I know what I'm doing.

So when did you start to get into this business, I mean dealing.

I'm not doing it, officially, but we all needs to make a few extra bucks, you know what I mean?

Speaking of... I'm assuming you have the cash on you?

Most of it.

Most of it? I'm not running a charity here.

So if you think those crutches are going to get you a better deal, think again.

Come back when you got all the money, or don't come back at all.

Have a nice day now!

Monica Hayward. Who the hell is that?

Me.

Oh. Aren't I lucky. I mean it coulda been a lot wor... Hi, I'm Ja-

Jake Doyle. I know exactly who you are.

Really?

I'm looking for Sergeant Leslie Bennett.

Bennett isn't here. I'm her replacement.

Whoa, replacement? I think there must be a mistake.

Where is she right now?

Don't know. You'll have to ask her.

Well I've tried that, but she's not answering her phone.

Some might take that as a sign.

I've been doing my research on you.

Seems you helped close a number of cases here.

Yeah, that would be the odd one.

I also hear that you've impeded so many that you should be in jail.

And you have been on a few occasions.

I have. Um, I like to pop back in and see how people are doing.

Is that file on me? I could trade you for this photograph.

Looking for this guy?

In fact, I am. He's my cousin.

He's a really nice, you know, clean cut, law abiding --

He's downstairs... in the drunk t*nk.

This "drunk t*nk."
I've never heard of this before.

Do you know where I could find it?

According to your file, you know exactly where that is.

You've slept in there fourteen times.

I think that's a different Jake Doyle that you have...

This was nice. I'll see you around.

Nice to meet you Jake.

Rory have a party last night?

Something's wrong here.

The room wasn't like this when I left.

Nelson's been here. I can feel it.

Let's just stay calm until we know what's going on.

I am calm. You know, this isn't easy for me either.

Being here with you. Having to ask for your help.

Trust me, it's much harder to listen to it, and you never had much trouble before asking me, or your late sister for money.

And a lot of it.

Oh, here we go again.

You really don't understand the concept of forgive and forget now, do you?

We had to re-mortgage the house for you, and then you abandoned her, your own sister, when she was calling for you on her deathbed.

There were unforeseen circumstances.

I couldn't tell you what was going on.

I don't want to hear any excuses from you.

Let's just focus on finding your son and then I can get you out of my life again for good.

Bank slip from an ATM -- Rory got some money out last night.

I'll call Rose and have her look into it.

No, no, no, no...

What?

The banking fees are outrageous. This is daylight robbery.

You and your deadbeat son know all about robbery now, don't you?

Nelson.

Where's Rory?

What have you done with my son?

Jake! How are you, cousin? Great to see you.

Thanks for springing me, by the way.

It's good to see you too, Rory, but your father is anxious to see you, you know. He's kinda freaking out.

Ah, never mind him. You know what he's like.

He's emotional in his old age, driving us all a bit mental.

Rory, what are you doing here? And why are you in jail?

One second... There was a huge misunderstanding.

I was thrown out of a nightclub for taking my clothes off.

Apparently the patrons aren't allow to take their clothes off, but the strippers are.

You know they're funny about that. Just --

What about the Dublin gangster guy, why is he after you?

Nelson? Never mind him. You know what Dubliners are like.

We're all hard men. And anyway, it's ah...

A huge misunderstanding?

It's all a bit tangly, to be honest, Jake.

[Ring] No doubt. No doubt.

Dad, yeah.

It's me.

I know it's you. I just said Dad. Anyways. I have Rory, okay?

Well, that's good, but uh..

Speakerphone.

Uncle Malachy, meet us outside 1 Water Street?

Outside the building that looks like there's nothing there.

And there we'll be. We'll meet you as we're coming out?

Yeah? Good?

That voice sounds familiar.

He hung up.

Let's get ourselves to that address. Now. You drive.

Where you going?

C'mon cousin. You don't want to be late, do ya?

For what?

So she blew up your car. She just blew it up, the blue GTO. Why?

Well it's... it's complicated.

So you still have a way with the gals, then, I see.

I loved that car.

Rory, stop walking and tell me what we're doing here.

I was thinking it's a massive shame that Malachy and me dad aren't talkin' any more.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Family is everything, Jake. It really is. Hold on one second.

Rory, you're in a dumpster. Why are you in a dump --

Remember when we were kids? When we came to visit you?

I tried to ride that shopping cart, that trolley down the main street.

What's it called? Is it Mascot Street?

Prescott Street.

Yeah, right. Prescott Street. And you told me not to do it.

And did I listen to you? No. How much fun did we have, Jake?

You're forgetting that I spent, like, seven days in the Janeway.

Please tell me that you're not about to --

Inside, Jake, as you might not know, is an illegal gambling casino, and I am about to rob it.

No, you're not.

That's the spirit.

Rory.

[g*nsh*t]

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you'd be so kind as to put your hands in the air.

Do not move. If you move you will be k*lled.

If you do not move, you will not be k*lled.

What do you think, Jake, eh?

[JAKE]
Drop it! Lay it down!

Lay it down. I'm gonna k*ll you.

Thank you very much, Jake.

[JAKE] Stop saying my name.

Gerry, I have to say, the apple doesn't fall far from the proverbial tree, now, does it? You and Rory.

He's the spit out of your mouth. Hopefully not as stunned.

No need to be gettin' all personal now. You don't see me pointing out that your sons are all riddled with the herpes now, do you?

Heh, heh. You watch yourself.

What do you plan to do with us?

Who is this anyway, Gerry?

My brother.

In law. Former. Brother-in-law.

Lads. If you'd be so kind as to empty your pockets and put everything on that table.

Why don't we stop this before it goes too far?

Ah, but the fun is only getting started, isn't' it?

Now, let me see. I'm just gonna get a little photograph of you.

Ah, c'mon Jake, I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun.

That's quite the accent.

Oh really? I like yours too but can you empty your pockets and put your belongings on the table before I lose my patience.

Now!

Thank you.

He's bluffing you. He has a crap hand.

Say goodbye.

Okay, bye!

I don't mean literally. Just get out!

Let's go.

Rory lost at cards, yes?

But why did he travel to the end of the world to collect?

He's right, for once. It's a tad excessive.

Rory didn't lose at one of my card games, Jerry.

He robbed the entire part at gunpoint.

Why am I not surprised?

Not to mention the little peronsol matter your sh*t son was involved with my --

Rory?

Hi dad! Go get in the truck! We gotta go now.

Rory's running away!

Rory, you're an idiot.

Rory, I'll paddle the back of your ass when I find you.

We'll do that later, Uncle Gerald. Get in.

♪ Yeah ee-ahah yeah ♪

Go.


Ahh!

All right?

Yeah.

OK. Let's take a break.

Look who it is! Desbot.

Des?

What are ya at Tinny b'y? I mean Katrina, b'y?

How are you feeling? Can you walk right yet or wha?

I'm on the mend.

I heard your scored first in your sh**ting range test.

How did you hear that?

Tinny, I'm a P.I. I have my ways.

And by ways, I mean Rose told me.

So did you manage to get that info for me?

Yeah. Why are you so obsessed with the guy that kidnapped us?

Katrina! Let's go.

Hold on to this for me. Don't tell anyone, okay?

I'll explain later.

Hey, sorry. Um...

I need to borrow some money.

Like two hundred dollars. Cash.

Why? For what?

It's just for medication. For pain and stuff.

I'll pay you back.

Maybe. We can talk about it at home later.

What were you thinking? Why were you robbin' a casino?

Rory kinda sprang it at me at the last minute.

I don't know where he gets it.

I just don't know where he gets it!

Not a clue huh? Well, here's a hint.

He gets it from his juvenile, irresponsible dad, that's where.

The casino is owned by a very bad local guy. One Marko Long.

He's gotta a rap sheet the size of Salmonear Line.

Racketeering and loan sharking.

Been in prison on the mainland and here at Her Majesty's Pen.

So now Rory not only has one thug after him but two.

What about that ATM bank receipt. Did you track it?

Yeah, I did. To a place called Great Big She. A strip club.

Also owned by Marko Long.

A strip club.

Yeah.

This is Rory's phone.

He told me that he got kicked out of a strip club last night.

How much money did he pull from the casino job?

Looking for your cut?

Malachy!

Ah, that's alright Rose.

Impatience runs in the family. I've got a touch of it too.

We're not family!

I am just trying to ascertain if what he stole from the Marko fella is enough to pay back what he stole from Nelson McNulty.

Actually, he didn't steal any money from the casino.

I mean there was a money clip with a bit of cash.

But he did steal a key.

Well, why don't you go check out the strip club.

That's all he needs.

For the record, it was Rose's idea and I think it was a good one.

Keep us posted will ye?

Don't worry uncle Ger. We'll figure this out.
[Telephone rings]

It's Nelson.

Are you going to answer it?

I can't.

Why not?

Roaming fees are insanely high.

It's Malachy.

Oh, this is the brother, is it?

Brother-in-law! Ex!

Meet me. Now. I'll send you a location.

No. We'll meet you but it needs to be somewhere public.

How does a pint sound?

Fine. You have my number. Text the address.

Oh hey, I'm definitely in the right place...

You're not supposed to be back here.

I know. See I'm a union, ah, stewart. And I'm here to ask you a few questions.

Have you seen this guy today?

I know he was here last night. He was thrown out.

You know, real funny accent. Nice guy.

Yeah. His accent's super charming.

He got thrown out because my boyfriend got jealous.

Who's your boyfriend?

[JAKE] You've got to be kidding me.

Okay, listen.

This guy, he's my cousin, alright, and he's in a bit of danger, so have you seen him today or not?

No.

[Clang-bang.]

There's someone changing in there.

I just walked past three naked girls and you're worried about someone changing.

Jake! When did you get here?

Let's start over here, Nelson. Forget about Gerald.

You're dealing with me now.

Is that right?

How much did Rory steal from you?

Oh, this isn't only about the money.

It's about the fact that a weasel boy from a weasel family robbed me.

Plus... he slept with my wife.

I didn't know you were married, Nelson. Congratulations.

Sorry about me boy and the wife doing the dirty, but he has his father's hormones.

We can fix all of this.

This is about my reputation.

Your whore boy robbed 50,000 quid and made a fool of me.

Go on big man. Use it then. I dare you. In here.

300,000. Two hours. Or I just take my debt in Rory flesh.

Ooh, big man. Was that 300,000 in dollars or Euros?

This is Kara. And Kara and I are together.

She used to go out with Marko.

I sorta still do. This is his club.

And she gave me the tip as to where to find that key.

Right. What is this key for?

It's for a locker with a very valuable statue inside.

It's worth a fortune.

I've got a buyer all lined up, so all we have to do is get the statue.

Marko doesn't know the buyer, Jake, so we're gonna sell it and make loads of money and run off together.

Wow. That's really sweet. I'm so happy for you. She seems lovely.

Kara. Who are your friends and why aren't you working?

I was just --

We -- I was here last night and I got a bunch of dances from her and I didn't have any cash on me and she didn't have the Interac.

So I promised her I'd come back and here I am.

A conscientious pervert. It's good to see that chivalry isn't dead.

Anyways. See you around.

Yeah, we should probably get going too.

Yeah. Good idea, Jake.

Jake?

Hm. That's a nice name.

Yeah, I was named after my aunt.

I could have sworn that I met you guys earlier on today.

Irish leprechaun accent, right?

Ha ha ha, excuse me?

No, no, no. He's from up the shore. He's from Calvert.

That explains his oddness and his funny accent.

Oh, I see.
[Thud]

Now which one of you two has my key?

Are you suggesting a key party?

Listen man, I'm not good at key parties. I keep picking my own.

You think this is a joke, wise guy?

Marko, no. No! I've got your key.

I've got your key.

Just leave him out of this.

He's got nothing to do with it.

And then, you and me?

We're going to go get that statue.

It's all good.

He's going to use the key to find just what he wants.

And then you're going to pay for that little stunt you pulled at the casino.

So you call the cops, or you try to find him, I'm going to k*ll him.

Now you remember that.

Rory's going to be okay, right?

Not when Marko finds out that this missing.

Poor Rory. He sacrificed himself to save me.

Or this. Either way, Marko's gonna find out that Rory tricked him and we ended up with the statue.

Malachy! We have to get him back.

Or somehow we have to come up with $300,000 for Nelson.

Gotta give it to you Gerald.

When you mess up, you mess up big time.

But... don't worry.

We'll get Rory back.

What's the story with the statue?

It was made for a Russian princess.

An engagement gift from her fiancé just before he was k*lled in World w*r One.

I'm not just a stripper.

I'm doing my masters in art history at MUN.

The stature belongs to a private collector.

How'd you get your hands on it?

Marko has a guy on the inside.
An art restorer.

No one even knows it's gone.

Not yet. What's it worth?

I have a buyer overseas. Five hundred thousand bucks.

Whoa. Imagine what he'd be worth if he had arms and legs.

We can give the statue to Nelson in exchange for Rory's deb.

One problem. You're forgetting about Marko.

The guy who actually has your son held c*ptive.

We can't get involved in some art heist.

We'll all end up in jail.

If we don't use the statue, we have no leverage to save Rory's arse.

We need to bring the cops in on this.

Ah, Malachy. There's something that Gerald hasn't told us.

Huh?

Well, we can't call the police because Gerald is currently breaking parole in Ireland.

They'll lock him away again.

Eh, you know, don't mind me.

I mean, this is all about Rory anyway.

And I honestly don't mind going back to jail.

You didn't tell us you were breaking parole?

What else are you keeping from me?

What do you expect?

I can't tell you about my parole situation because you've got so much hatred inside of ya.

This is exactly the kind of thing I expected from you.

There's never a straight story.

It's always jumbled up in your lies.

Dad. Can I talk to you downstairs please, for a second.

Alone. Now.

Who'd like a cup of tea? With whiskey, and ice, and... no tea.

I wouldn't say no.

Alright.

Ahh, what are you doing?

Do you honestly care about Rory in the way I think you do?

Dad, c'mon. We can't rat Gerald out to the cops.

I know. It's just one thing after another with him.

Think about mom, alright?

If she was here, if she were alive, what would she want you to do?

Break up with Rose, likely.

What do you think she'd want me to do?

She'd want you to give Gerald a chance. C'mon b'y.

Think about it.

Maybe he'll surprise us.

Guys, I've got some bad news. Gerald's gone.

He just grabbed the statue and left.

Surprise.

♪ Oh yeah ♪

Nelson. I have something that -
that will make all of this go away.

Something that will clear all of Rory's debts.

Everybody's on the wrong side of the road.

I tried calling Gerald's phone, but there was no answer.

Probably too cheap to answer because of the roaming.

Oh yes b'y, you're one to talk.

It took everything outa ya to buy the new truck you got.

I liked my old one.

Uh, the chassis fell out of her.

Speaking of which -- Des, any luck tracking the truck's location?

Malachy, I know you hate your new ride, but this new rig?

It has some advantages -- an I-Star Road Side assistance feature which mean --

Which means we can track the truck's location.

And I can tap into the microphone inside the truck used to communicate with the I-Star operator.

Good.

Great. Okay.

[Scrape]

Ah, sure that'll buff right out.

Do you have my money Gerald? Or are things going to get ugly?

They drive on the wrong side of the road here.

It's hard to get a handle on it.

Gerald!

My money.

I don't have your money. But, I do have an idea.

An idea. Is that a joke?

Got it.

[GERALD] It's a special, one time occasion for you to win back all the money that's owed to you.

Turn it up.

An idea doesn't equate money.

But Rory sleeping with my wife and stealing from me does equate a b*llet to the head.

This is a very valuable statue.

Where is it?

I don't have it on me.

Oh, is that so?

Given the very volatile nature of our relationship, I thought it wise to, you know, keep it hidden.

Heh, heh. It's worth $300,000.

A statue?

The statue. Worth a fortune.
And it's all yours.

But you're gonna help me to get back my son, Rory.

What's he doing?

Des, do you have a location?

Ah, sorry, almost.

Why would I help you and your ratbag son?

[GERALD] Because if you don't, you don't get nuthin'.

Are you sure it's not stashed under the seat in the truck there?

Like you used to do with your winnings in the old days?

Yeah, you really are thicker than thick, Gerald.

I gotta say. If you had a clue you'd die of loneliness.

[sh*t]

He's gonna k*ll him!

Perhaps you've misunderstood the particulars of our relationship -- how this works.

I don't like to be crossed, Gerald.

My leg! You sh*t me. Aye!

You know there was a time you owed me money and for some reason you chose not to pay me.

Do you recall that time Gerald?

My guys b*at you so badly you were in the hospital for weeks.

You almost d*ed.

From what I remember you missed your own sister's funeral due to that unfortunate turn of events.

Am I right?

[GERALD] Eh, yes, my sister, my sister.

So what do you think I'm gonna do with your son now?

First, I'm gonna take your little statue.

And then I'm gonna make sure your son never takes advantage of another man's wife again.

Are we clear?

We don't need the cavalry.

Des! C'mon.

Okay. I got a location. Ah, Logy Bay Road.

Alright. Dad, you call 911 and get over there.

[Telephone rings]

It's Rory!

Hello.

Heh, heh. Jake. How are ya, buddy? Um, I kinda need your help at the minute.

It seems that Marko's gonna cut my ears off if I don't get him the statue.

Which is a tad bit extreme seeing as I need them to hear and to talk to people.

Was it Kara? Hm?

Did she lead you to the statue?

Listen man. I got no idea what you're talking about.

But here's an idea. Why don't you send Rory over and --

You bring me the statue. Or Rory ends up an earless corpse.

Marko's gonna k*ll Rory.

♪ Yeah ee-yeah yeah ♪

Hey, I screwed up again, didn't I?


I'm not fit to mind mice at the crossroads.

A constant disappointment to myself and to others.

I'm sorry, Mal.

I'm sorry.

I've always prided myself as a person who didn't judge others.

To imagine another person's circumstances before I take a point of view as to who they are.

But with you, the truth is Gerald, I never gave you a fair sh*t.

And from this moment, that's over.

I heard the whole conversation with Nelson over the speaker in my truck.

I didn't realize...

Well, whatever grief you've given me, I deserved every inch of it.

Let's not go in circles. Let's just... Just promise to be good to each other from here on in.

Like brothers.

In law.

Oh.

But yeah.

Do me a favour then, will ya?

Hmm...

Anything.

Cancel my cell phone plan.

Nelson McNulty stole my phone and he's rackin' up the charges.

I just know he is.

Nelson has your phone now?

Yeah.

I think I have a plan.

So, being a stripper -- sorry, provocative dancer --

Is there a lot of growth in that industry? I mean, I'm not going to get into it myself, but one never wants to limit oneself.

I'm just so worried about Rory.

I don't know what I'll do if he's hurt.

Hey Jake, any news on Gerald?

What about my Rory?

Rory's gonna be fine. But he's gonna need your help.

What can I do?

Well... how's your poker face?

It's ringing. What if he doesn't pick up?

Don't worry. He will.

Just do everything we talked about, okay? You'll be fine.

Put it on speakerphone.

[Telephone rings]

What do you want?

I want my statue. Where's Gerald?

Gerald's not hear right now. Who is this?

[Bang]

I'm looking to purchase this statue. Is this still possible?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm uh, actually working on Gerald's behalf.

Well, if you think a new negotiator is going to change things, you're wrong. We agreed to five hundred.

[Coughs]

Thousand?

I'm not paying more, if that's what you're suggesting.

Ah, yeah, well it's um...

Five hundred thousand is fine.

Good. Now where are we meeting?

Time's running out. I want my statue.

[Bang]

Newfoundland Hotel. Room 706.

Be there in an hour.

You did great. You did great.

Des. What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm sorry. It's slippery.

Your turn.

Marko, buddy. I think I got something that belongs to you.

[Bang]

If he looks past this top layer in twenties, this whole thing is going to be blown.

Just make him prove to you that the statue is authentic before you show him the money.

You think you're going to be able to handle this?

I'm a big girl.

Besides, I've danced in almost all these rooms before.

I know my way around.

That's pretty hot. I'm not going to lie to you.

Uh, shouldn't we be talking about the plan, Jake?

Des will be in the room next to yours in case anything goes wrong and you need...

Security.

Although I should mention this is my first day back on the job, so if you could keep your expectations, like, crazy super low --

Bye, bye. [Slap]

Ow!

So, uh, I'm in position.

We're all here.

[ROSE in headphones] Hotel key for room 706 on the counter.

You look very nice today, Rose.

Thank you.

Got him.

So, uh, you having a game of pocket pool there? Or --

You know you're a real pain in the ass -- where my statue?

Where's Rory?

You get Rory when I get my statue.

It's funny. I got the exact same rules.

You got two options. Number one.

You can k*ll me right here in this lobby in public.

That way you get nothing.

Or you meet me on the seventh floor, with Rory.

[Mouth-click.]
It's up to you.

No more games.

You all right, Rory?

I'm fine Jake. Would you get on with this?

This guy is starting to drive me mad.

Okay, look. Room 706, alright?

You give me Rory, you can have your statue.

How do I know it's not a trap?

It's not a trap.

It's the location where Kara is right now getting ready to sell that statue to a buyer.

She wouldn't do that.

Kara's selling it to a buyer?

Yeah. In fact she's alone in there right now.

I'd say you got about, uh... twenty minutes before the buyer arrives.

She's selling me out?

She said she couldn't tell me the name of the buyer because it would scare him off.

Alright, alright.

I'll show her scared off. Take me to the room.

Whatever you say.

Take me to the room!

I heard you.

So -- it's the real deal. You can see.

Kara?

Hey that's my statue!

Who the hell are you?

[g*nsh*t]
Ooof!

Aw!

Oh no you don't.
[Ding!]

[Punch! Thud.]

Ohh!

Oh I'm so sorry.

Ahh!

[Punch]

Nice work.

Everyone, okay?

Yeah. I'm fine. So thank you for asking.

[RORY] Dad, you all right?

[GERALD] Yeah, son, I'm fine.

What are you at? Getting us all into this?

Ah! Dad, what are you at? Relax!

Ha ha! Nice.

Show some respect for your family.

Ah, b'y.

Pint?

Pint?

♪ Oh yeah ♪

So ---- you collared an international criminal
and a wanted local on the same day.

Plus an extremely valuable statue.

Ah, right. The old hat trick.

Good on ya.

Why'd you stop being a cop?

Ah, let's talk about you.

When did you start being so hot?

Was it elementary school or high school when you first noticed?

Touchy topic, I see.

Well Jake, perhaps we'll see you around.

But hopefully in a way that doesn't involve me arresting you.

I agree.

Dan Tanna does it again. Big whoop.

Hood.

About Leslie. I need to know man.

Just... whatever you can tell me. Is she okay? Is she sick?

What?

She's okay.

But I can't tell you anymore than that.

As far as you're concerned, she's gone. Okay?

What's on the go?

This is it.

This is yours.

You wanna tell me what this is all about?

I will.

I promise.

Just not yet.

I'm going to need that two hundred bucks.

I'll pay you back, but my money's tied up right now... in some awesome investments, but the dividends should more than cover what I owe you.

So this is for the pain.

Des, should I be worried here?

No.

Ah, what an adventure for a family to go on, hmm?

You can really defend yourself.

Thanks, Uncle Ger.

I have to say, even though you did almost k*ll our entire family, it's great to see you again.

Thanks.

I see Rory's landed on his feet pretty good there.

He says he loves this one.

I can't really blame him. She is very, very talented.

You know, if your mother were alive today... she'd be very proud of you.

I'm proud of you too.

Thank you, Uncle Gerald.

You're a good man.

And you're my favourite uncle.

Ha ha! Now. That'll get you a real drink.

[Phone rings.]

Jake Doyle.

[JAKE]

Hello...? Hello...?

Hello...?


Who was that?

It was just a hang-up.

Um, you need to come with us.

Like, right now. C'mon. I'll drive.

C'mon.

What is this? What are we doing here at a cab company?

Jake! Whaddya at?

Please don't tell me that Ned Bishop is my big surprise.

[DES] No, no, no, no, no.

This -- is a gift from me to you.

You're gonna love it, Uncle Jake.

Cuz even though you kinda got me sh*t, you're my best friend in the entire world.

I kinda think of you as a brother, and brothers do nice things for each other.
So...

Like I told the weird boy... Car restoration is an expensive racket. Now I'm not a licensed car dealer, so this is a secret- style deal.

Ah... I don't know what to say. It's perfect. It's perfect.
