Hey, Timmy.

Do I have to go?
What's up, buddy?
Ready to hang with your old man?
What do you expect, Mick?
You blow him off

What do you expect when you
bad-mouth me the way you do?
Oh, you think I'm the reason

June of ' .
A dockworker.
k*lled at the pier.
Yeah, Mick had a reputation
for busting kneecaps
as low-level muscle for
the Longshoreman's Union.
Dangerous moonlighting.
FigureMick's death was related.
But keep reading.
Mick was also a wrestler
for the WIC, indie circuit.

We pulled him from a match.
You mean he doesn't dress

Well, you got bigger

(gasps) You found my baby!
Where was she?
You're pretty excited
to own a g*n with a
body on it. A body?
Hell you talkin' about?
Mick "Machine" Malone.
In the WIC together.
I didn't k*ll Mick.
Only wrestled him
a couple of times.
Crowd loved him.
Then how do you explain
this whole you owning
the g*n situation?
I ain't had her
since March of ' .
And I know exactly where she went.
Hey!
(groans)
You report the g*n stolen, Bear?
Wanted to find the son
of a bitch myself.
Guy was a jobber
to the mid-carders.
Hired toeteat every night?
Jumped around the circuits.
Only got work 'cause he
could do a Commie accent.
Cold w*r saved his ass.
Who was this guy?
Red Scare.
Don't know his real name.
Remember where you were
when Mk got k*lled?
Twenty-some years ago?
Where were you?
It's not my g*n that k*lled a guy.
June , .
(sighs)
Probably at the Traffic Light.
Dated a waitress there. Sapphire.
Well, Bear,
your new ring is going
to be a holding cell

Might want to call for
some extra clothes.

Hey, when I get out,
you gonna give me my g*n back?
Yeah, I'll have it

Baby-face of the WIC.
Baby-face? Good guy.

Lil apparently was
a Hulkamaniac back in the day.
VALENS: You like that nonsense?
Oh, it distracted me for a
few hours every Saturday.
Hmm.
Assigned talked to some
wrestlers back in ' ,
and Lance Kotrola, WIC's promoter.
Well, Mick's last match was
ten days before he was k*lled,
against "Sweet" Sil Tavern.
Well, Mick had a nine-year-old son,
Tim, with ex-wife, Rachel.
Night Mick was m*rder*d,
she was with Tim at the hospital.
Did a midnight shift
at the local diner.
I'll reach out to the son,
see what he knows.
Let's pay Lance a visit, too.
Might know who the Red Scare was.
Hey, uh, either of
you heard from Vera?
Uh, think he's tracking
down Bear's alibi.
(under breath): Yeah.
Supposed to have
breakfast with him,
but the dude never showed.
Left him a couple messages myself.
He's probably just
hungover somewhere.
You know what's going on with him?
Whatever it is,
he's keeping it to himself.
(gulls screeching)
You were at the hospital
the night your dad d*ed?
Broke my arm playing football.
Got a cast, nothing big.
Your dad ever mention a
wrestler named Red Scare?
Red Scare?
Nah.
I thought he got k*lled 'cause
of something he did down here.
We're just looking into
a wrestling connection.
Wrestling brought us closer.
Brought us all closer.
Look what I got for you, buddy.
Bill "The Thrill"!
Awesome!
Yeah, don't look now,
but someday that's gonna
be a Mick Malone doll.
I mean, wrestler.
Yeah, you wish, Dad.
Oh, I wish?
(growling)
(Timmy laughing)
Where did you learn that move?
I've been getting in
the ring a little bit.
Going to this wrestling school.
TIMMY: No way!
That's the coolest
thing I've ever heard.
It's the coolest
thing I've ever done.
But you're still unloading cargo?
Yeah, I mean, I'm not
going to quit my job.
You know, maybe someday,
right, buddy?
Yeah.
I can't tell who's the adult
between the two of you.
Look, wrestling's honest work.
It beats debt collecting.
That's not saying much.
What happens if you
get hurt in the ring?
Nah, it's fine.
It's all for show.
Nobody really gets hurt.
Anyways, here.
It's, uh...
it's from my first match.
It's not much.
I'm just a jobber now,
but I'll get more
if I stick with it.
Okay.
Great.
Still need a ring name, though.
I was thinking maybe you could
come up with something, Timmy.
Yeah, something cool, you know.
Like...
"The Machine."
The Machine?
Like you're unstoppable.
Like you grind people up
and drill 'em into the mat.
See, now that's the coolest
thing I've ever heard.
You ready to hang
with your old man?
Totally. Let's go.
That was probably the happiest
time from when I was a kid.
My dad coming back
in my life like that.
You know any of the wrestlers
your dad hung out with?
No. Mom never let me go
to any of his matches.
But I got every bootleg tape
I can find with him on it.
Mind if I take a look at those?
Be my guest.
You know, I'm pretty sure the
only reason he got in the ring
was... because of me.
Quite an operation, Lance.
That chair you're in-- ten grand.
(whistles)
Yeah, you know, the WWE,
they had these
perfect polished little
matches back in the ' s.
And I said screw
that with two words:
garbage wrestling.
I guess bloodlust
is where it's at,
even if it's fake.
Well, my matches may
be predetermined,
but they're far from fake.
Athletes have to have pretty
big brass ones to rep the WIC.
Guys like Mick Malone?
Is that what this is all about?
Well, Mick stopped wrestling
ten days before he d*ed,
after his match with Sil Tavern.
Why was he off the card?
Kayfabe.
You know, keeping up appearances
outside of the ring.
Acting.
More time off to build
hype for a feud.
Sil and Mick have any real
beef behind the scenes?
Please. Someone in the family
does well, we all do well.
Red Scare part of that family?
Are you kidding?
I fired that crackhead
over years ago.
He got a real name?
Nate Beecher.
What was the deal
with him and Mick?
Well, they were both jobbers,
trying to move up the ranks,
but Mick was a natural

Know where he is now? Last I heard
that 'mo was mastering the fine art

with his cell mate.
Must have sucked being the
Detroit Lions of wrestling.
Huh, Red Scare?
I was a good wrestler.

No one did the Russian like me.
Too bad you couldn't

How about a Machine?

Nope.
Then you must have hit
your head pretty good
when he slammed you to the

What's your point with all this?
We'll go slow, so try to keep up.
This . is the g*n
that k*lled Mick.
If you don't talk,
slap the g*n theft on you,

Even more for Mick's m*rder.
Well, hypothetically,
if I'd taken Bear's g*n,
imagine it had some worth,
so I wouldn't have kept
it more than a few weeks.
Hypothetically, what might
you have done with it?
Traded it for some stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Well, steroids, hypothetically.
And I'd have sent it to this guy,
Sil Tavern,
known for the good juice.
VALENS: Sent? Like, in the mail?
Might have been in
Tampa at the time.
All right, you sent a
g*n through the mail?
Hypothetically.
But I made him sign for it.
I ain't stupid.
Bottom line--
I didn't have that g*n, Sil did.
Ooh, that's a good one.
Thanks. I appreciate it, guys.
"Sweet" Sil Tavern.
I saw you wrestle when I was a kid.
Yeah, well, this is just temporary.
I'll be back in the ring soon.
All right, pic,
two for ten, both of you.
Maybe later.
You ever own a . Magnum?
I used to work security,
but I never needed
a piece like that.
Well, took us forever

It's a . Magnum.

It's the g*n that
k*lled Mick Malone.
Mick Malone.
We were good friends.
The more we b*at each other up,
the closer we got.
Rivalry ever spill
outside the ring?
No way.
We had a great thing going.
You know, Lance worked it all out.
We were the perfect
baby-face/heel combination.
So what about the g*n?
I got it from Nate,
but I sold it right after. To who?
Well, to Mick actually.
So you just happened to
sell it to the dead guy?
Yeah. I didn't need it.
I gave him a deal on it.
Mi said something about
doing side jobs, extra cash,
like that. Debt collecting?
Maybe.
Indies don't pay much.
Mick was just trying to

LANCE: It's our first garbage match

Sil is going to get a

Barbed wire?
Okay, Mick,
you wince with every sh*t.
You're in pain.
But the moment you duck,

But... his troubles

Why, because I want Timmy

Last time you'll see
him at all. No, no.
You're not taking him away from me.
We'll see about that.

Timmy, I'm fine, okay?
I'm fine, buddy.

What was the fight about?
No idea.
But if Mick's ex thought
he'd give up his kid,
she had another thing coming.
JEFFRIES: Just spent an
exhilarating time
down at family court.
Yeah, you bond with
the city workers?
Rachel filed for sole custody
four days before Mick's m*rder.
Said Mick hung around
some unsavory folk.
Wrestlers or dockworkers?
She also claims
Mick abandoned Tim in a
warehouse in Baltimore
the night of his last match.
All right, let's get her in here.
Miller's picking her up now.
Yeah, Tim, too.
See what was going
on in that family.
Hey, Valens around?
Um, no.
I'm his partner.
You're from Central, right?
Yeah. Detective Pierson.
Saw you did the search warrant
after Scotty made that
arrest last night.
Yeah, my case initially.
Guess Detective Valens had a b*at,
went to the scumbag's place,
nobody answered.
But, you know,
the door was already ajar.
He heard some noises,
went in to investigate
and found the ID's.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I figured.
Hmm.
What went wrong, Rachel?
We had Tim young.
Drifted apart.
Mick violent with you guys?
No.
He just had no clue
what being a real father was.
What do you mean?
Well, his father was
up in Graterford.
I guess he realized
that he was heading down
the same path with Tim,
not really being a father.
Tried to turn it around.
That's not what you thought
when you filed for sole custody.
You said
that he got Tim out of school,
took him to Baltimore,
then left him there.
It took me two hours
to drive up there and get him.
I found him in a warehouse.
All by himself.
Mick tell you what happened?
He said he got hurt in the match.
But unless you're dead...
It's no excuse, right?
That's a lot of time and money
to get sole custody.
Enough to make you want to take
matters into your own hands?
I was working the
night Mick was k*lled.
Check it out. I did.
You took a two-hour break.
Right around the
time Mick was sh*t.
I snuck off to see my son.
He was in the hospital.
For a broken arm.
Broken arm?
Who told you that?
He was in a coma for five days.
A coma?
Why?
Look, Ma had nothing
to do with it, okay?
You see her tell your dad
to stay away from you?
So people argue, you know?
So what?
It's not exactly the image
you painted earlier.
You never said she
filed for sole custody.
Sole custody?
I-I didn't know that.
What happened when he left
you alone in that warehouse?
Look, I was just trying to wrap
my head around it all, okay?
Around what?

No. Lance's?
No. I mean... You mean what?

to the one match that
he's supposed to lose?
That was an accident.
We got Lance in the next room.

take care of your kids.
We had a lot in common.
Yeah, that's strange,
'cause that isn't what Adam said.
Your son.
Yeah, I tracked him down.
You haven't seen him
in a while, huh?
I see him when I can.
Every years?
You must not try very hard.
I mean, he's right here in Philly.
I'd do anything for my son.
Except stick around.
See, you preach about family,
but it's Mick who was the one
who was trying to be a good dad.
Don't you think his son deserves
to know what happened to him?
I went to see Mick that night.
Where? At the docks?
I heard what happened
to his kid.
I went to the hospital.
(monitor beeping rhythmically)
RUSH: With Lance?
SIL: No. Alone.
I told him that
I was sorry for the match...
for hurting him.
But that Lance was going
to promote the hell
out of the rematch.
We'd both get rich, you know?
So, you leave the hospital
and Mick's still alive?
Then you hook up with Lance...
he's dead.
Lance gave me my career.
Without Lance I'd be nothing.
You're living off of
ten dollar autographs.
He's going to get me
back in the ring soon.
I'm only one match away
from being on top again.
(chuckles)
When are you going to wake up
from the spell of that guy, Sil?
(door opening)
LANCE: Lawyer call yet?
Not yet.
In the meantime,
thought you could tell us
what you were doing in
Sil's car in Juniata Park
the night Mick was k*lled.
I'm sure my attorney
would love to do it.
Why don't you go fetch
him for me, ese.
Good cop, get out.
Wait, wait, where you going?
See if your lawyer called.
Whoa, wait a minute!
Look, I didn't mean all that.
Hey!
(Lance yelling in distance)
Brought an associate
to represent Sil.
Got it.
They're both in the lobby.
Now?
Pinstripe suits, red tie.
Okay, got it.
Um, just sit tight,
and let me see if I can get
somebody to go down and get you.
Somebody get me out of here!
Any more comments, tough guy?
Cat got your tongue?
(phone ringing)
You know, I'm gonna
get a soda. Want one?
Yeah.
Hey, Lance.
Let's take a walk. Okay.
That guy is loco.
Tell me about it.
It's that Latin temper.
LANCE: Yeah, yeah.
So it looks like he b*at you to it.
"Sil came and picked me up.
He told me he sh*t
Mick by the docks."
That's Lance's signature, right?
But that's a lie.
Then what's the truth, Sil?
Okay, Sil, get up.
No. No.
I talked to the D.A.
Your car, your g*n.
Take a jury minutes
to convict you.
It was Lance.
Lance told me that Mick had
agreed to do the stunt.
But he didn't.
Mick said if Lance wanted him
to get back in the ring,
he could come tell him himself.
You tell Lance that?
I told him...
...that Mick wanted
to be with his kid.
His son was in a coma.
But Lance didn't care.
And you went along
with whatever Lance said.
We all did.
Except for Mick.
That's what pissed
Lance off the most.
Next time I tell you
to do something,
you better damn well do it.
Can't do anything
without you telling me.
You know why?
'Cause that's how I want it.
Now where's that g*n?
What the hell is your problem?
I finally bring my kid to a match,
and you throw me through a table?
Last I checked, I make the rules.
Not for me.
I'm done dancing to your tune.
Okay, okay, you're pissed
that your kid saw you lose.
Fine. Okay,
bring him to the next one.
It'll be the best
match he's ever seen.
You will be the champion for
the next two years. No, thanks.
You leave when I ring the bell.
You got that?
We just got the TV deal, okay?
Do you know how much money
we are going to make
on the next match?
Clean the crap out of your ears.
I'm done!
Just can't handle it, is that it?
You'd rather be out here
unloading cargo and busting thumbs?
No more debt collecting.
All aboveboard now.
Oh, well, I'm sure
your kid's real proud
to have a punk loser for a dad.
See what it feels like
every night in the ring.
