LOY: It's okay.

I've been having a bad day, too.

I-I...

I wasn't...

I didn't call the raid.

It was Josto. I was following orders. I...

I-I can get your money back.

Keep it.

I'm losing this w*r, Odis.

People are being taken from me.
People I trust.

Things I've earned.

You see, I'm not just fighting a few Italians.

I'm fighting years of history.

I'm fighting a mindset.

You like those dolls, huh?

You collect 'em?

Uh...

How you think they feel?

Being owned.

Imagine if these dolls rose up and became citizens of this apartment.

Imagine if they asked for equal rights.

You might say, "Man, f*ck these dolls.

"I'm gonna crush these dolls.

"Thinking they all human.

Thinking they equal."

'Cause that's your mindset.

And look, maybe you feel like these Italians own you.

But you got no idea what it feels like to be actual owned.

To be property.

Until now.

'Cause I own you.

You're gonna help me win this w*r or I'm gonna put you in the ground.

You hear me?

Yeah. Yes.

Yes, I hear you.

Good.

We'll be in touch.

He's the size of a house.

Nah, he's still breathing.

(GRUNTS)

You see me struggling here?

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Well, now what?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GAETANO GRUNTS, PANTING)

He's awoke.

You ever hear of Sugar Ray Robinson?

No?

Won his first fights.

We used to call him Willie up in

Harlem, which was his real name.

You see, to get his first fight,

Sugar had to borrow this other cat's union card.

You know how that story goes.

How a man will do whatever it takes to get that first break.

(STRAINING)

- Yeah, yeah.
- (COUGHS)

See, there's a part two to this story.

Now that you got the title... you got to fight off all these do-right daddies that want to knock your head off.

My man right here started off as a flyweight.

Worked himself up to welter.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

He's skinny.

And you're right.

But he's got reach.

Jack Blackburn said he had the best right cross in the business.

- Ain't that right?
- Mm-hmm.

Now, you can say your whole life is just a series of mistakes.

No big deal.

But Doctor Senator...

Now, that's the one that got you k*lled.

Can't we shut him up?

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Oh, poor Mr. Tucker.

Yeah, he's got the gout something fierce.

There's not much we can do but wait for the swelling to go down.

I haven't forgotten, by the way.

Macaroon?

I received a rather q*eer letter about you today.

About me?

Reader's Digest says letter writing's becoming a lost art.

Ah...

Miss Mayflower, do you attend the funerals of your patients?

Of course.

It's the Christian thing to do.

Well, someone has written me and suggested that your behavior at your last posting deserves further scrutiny.

My behavior? (SHORT CHUCKLE)

For example, do you retain keepsakes

from your patients?

Those who've passed.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

Because, of course, it goes without saying that confiscating the possessions of any patient is a crime.

Dr. Harvard...

I can assure you Oraetta Mayflower is a Christian citizen of the highest character.

I'm unsure, even, of the spelling of the word "crime."

May I see this letter for myself?

- No.
- Well... may I at least learn the name of the sender?

It's anonymous.

Oh. Well, there you go.

A cowardly act by a coward.

Possibly some... w-well, personal or professional jealousy.

Indeed.

I've seen plenty of rivalries in my day.

Oh, well...

None worse than those between two she-cats.

I swear, you women, with your petty squabbles. A man...

(VOICE ECHOING): a professional man... would have no time for such witchiness.

I suspect the snitch to be a fellow nurse or candy striper from your last hospital.

(ECHOING STOPS): As you said... jealous, possibly of your high position here.

Of course, I will have to show this letter to our human resources department.

No, sir, please.

Can you imagine if this was your reputation?

A baseless claim delivered anonymously?

When you called Allen Sneet, did you not check my references?

- I did.
- And did he give you any cause... for hesitation?

Did he not report that I was... exemplary in my vocation?

A-a regular Florence Nightingale? (CHUCKLES)

He did.

All right, Nurse Mayflower, you've convinced me.

I'm convinced.

For now, we'll just keep this between us.

Thank you, Doctor.

And I want to apologize that this matter has taken up part of your day. I know how busy you are.

Back to your duties, now.

- Oh, Nurse Mayflower.
- Mm-hmm?

No more funerals.

No.

Please, take your time.

New York says okay.

On two conditions.

Number one, we get two weeks to fix our thing with Cannon.

The mulignan.

They k*lled Paolo.

So, my brother's dead?

I don't know.

They took him for the ditsoon doctor.

What happened to the doctor?

Did you order this?

No. It was GAETANO and this assh*le.

But that's... I'm handling that.

(SIGHS)

It got ordered, okay?
Let's not focus on by who.

What matters is he's gone.

And now... so is GAETANO.

What else did New York say?

Boss, we got to go after him.

Shut up. He's gone.

What else did New York say?

They said if you want to be boss, you got to make things right with your brother.

is being young.

Not that boy.

I'll talk to Ebal.

There must be some way back from the brink.

One thing's for sure.

You rescind Satchel now... it's w*r.

No escaping.

I don't even see how we get close to him without triggering World w*r III.

Good riddance.

You're gonna drive over to that house... and you're gonna bring my boy home.

What? (SHORT CHUCKLE)

No.

I'm gonna k*ll that fat wop in the next room and then I'm gonna take over this town.

But not until I get my boy back.

How am I supposed to...

You're the law, ain't you?

Just walk in there and grab him.

You understand, Ebal?

That's the point!

Whose side are you on?

What?

Whose side are you on?

It's a simple question.

Last time I checked, I'm the boss.

Except, every time I turn around, you're following someone else's orders, so I got the right to wonder... am I your boss or are you his boy?
