BARRY: Lord, please watch over me

and fill me with your courage and grace.

(VOICE BREAKING) Please
watch over my son John


and fill his heart
with his daddy's love.


JIM: So you're a man of God now?

BARRY: Please take away
all his nightmares.


JIM: You think because you've repented,

you get to choose where
you're gonna go after you die?


BARRY: Give his mother the
strength to look over him.


JIM: You know where you're
goin', and you're afraid.


BARRY (WHIMPERING): I just
want my boy to be safe.

TOM: "The world needs to
know what the studio is doing

by making this movie.

They are sensationalizing a tragedy

and elevating a m*rder*r.
I will not let that happen."

There's all these comments.

Look at that, they're all positive.

- GENE: See? It's working.
- TOM: Yeah. You know,

this is like a really
interesting way to go, Gene.

Really.

I mean, I didn't think of
it before, but it's like...

it's like y-you're decided

to take th-the more
honorable path, you know?

Hey, all I'm trying to
do is protect her memory.

I'll tell you what
you're doing with this.

You are showing them to be
the whores that they are!

That's what you're doing!

Yeah.

VAL: They're waiting for you.

Who?

The men that we're going
to send to k*ll Fuches.

The Four Ultimate Badass K*llers?

FUBKs. Yes.

Wait, those guys are real?

- VAL: Francisco Boya.
- NOHO HANK: Wow

VAL: Weapons expert.

Used to run missions
for the Clateen cartel.

- NOHO HANK: This is nice.
- VAL: Prefers to use a Kn*fe

because he likes to be
close to his victims.

NOHO HANK: Yes. Sold. Add to cart.

VAL: Konstantine Persky. Explosions.

NOHO HANK: Feel free to blow up
cars. Fuches, obviously. Right?

That'd be hilarious. Fuches
with dynamite tied to him.

- VAL: Like the Wile E. Coyote!
- NOHO HANK: Exactly. Next.

VAL: Todd Geer, ex-Special Forces.

Responsible for leading six coups.

- More like four and a half.
- NOHO HANK: Hey, don't downplay your accomplishments.

That's still a shitload of coups, Todd.

- Uh, yes, please.
- VAL: Isiah Ransone.

- NOHO HANK: Oh, he can get it.
- VAL: sharpsh**ter.

- NOHO HANK: Of course he is.
- VAL: confirmed kills.

NOHO HANK: Make that .

Okay, so when can we
expect this job to be done?

VAL: EOD.

And what does that mean?

- VAL: End of the day.
- Okay, then just say "end of day," alright?

You're not Special Forces
like Isiah Ransone over here.

Now, go.

Wipe them out.

Leave no witnesses.

And before you k*ll Fuches, tell him...

"NoHo Hank did this."

- Oh God.

I'm so happy I got a hold of you.

My name is Matt Iserson.
I'm an agent at UTA.


Oh, you're the guy that's gonna help me

take out an ad in "The
Hollywood Reporter"

about Warner Brothers
being such a dickhead

'cause they're trying to profit
off the m*rder of my girlfriend.

MATT: No. Actually, I-I'm
calling on behalf of a client.


He wants to play you in that movie.

Hey. Not interested.

MATT: My client is Daniel Day-Lewis.

From "My Left Foot"?

MATT: Wow, that's a deep cut, but yes.

Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis.

He'd like to come out of
retirement to play you.


This is not Tony Danza
trying to f*ck with me, is it?

MATT: I am not Tony Danza.
My name is Matt Iserson.


I'm an agent at UTA,

and I'd love to fill
you in on the details.


A-Are you open to that?

(NERVOUSLY RUBBING LEG)

(DEEP EXHALE)

- I guess I'm free today.

- How about Toscana in an hour?

- Uh, yeah.

SALLY: Oh, thank God.

So are you.

SALLY: Okay, uh, listen, I...

I need your help.

Anything, sweetheart.
But wh-where are you?

I'm in Los Angeles with my son.

John! Stay close to me!

Yeah. Um, listen, um...

We're at the airport. Um,
can you come pick us up?

(TRAFFIC NOISE CONTINUES)

- Now?
- SALLY: Yeah. It would be a huge help.

Yeah, no. No, I-I
have to go to Tosca...

I-I have a... I have a
meeting, I just can't miss it.

Can't you reschedule?

(TRAFFIC NOISE CONTINUES)

I'll tell you what.

Go to my house, and
we'll meet there later.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

- Do you remember the address?
- SALLY: Yeah, I remember.

- SALLY: Okay, I'll see you soon.

- (CALL DISCONNECTED TONE)
- (SIGHS)

(PANTING) Okay.

Look, we need to find a
way to get to Cousineau's.

He's an old friend of mine.

We're gonna meet your daddy there, okay?

- And once we find him...
- (PLANE APPROACHING)

- ... everything's gonna be okay. Okay?
- (PLANE ROARING)

Come on. Come on, come on!

(PLANE FADING)

I got your text!

What's the word on the FUBKs?

They landed about an hour ago.

We lost communication with them.

Okay...

Can you find communication?

VAL: We, uh,

we just got a delivery. From Fuches.

- It's their heads.
- We don't know that yet.

(CARDBOARD RUSTLING)

It's a head.

I can, uh, find a couple more FUBKs.

FUBKs don't just grow out of
the ground like mint, okay?

(SIGHS) It's another head.

I will go alone and, uh,

avenge the FUBKs for...

Oh, yeah? You're gonna go on
a su1c1de mission, Val, huh?

Listen, I need you, okay?
You're my support system.

- Why am I still opening these?
- (SIGHS) Thank God.

- (CARDBOARD RUSTLING)
- Ah, Isiah!

f*ck. Even in death,

just an absolute fox.

ACCOMPLICE: Can I make a suggestion?

I think getting the
monsters out of the house

is more important than the house.

You know what? You're
absolutely f*cking right.

f*ck that house. It is dead to us.

Let's take care of this sh*t ourselves.

Let's ride.

{an}(MOP SQUISHING)

FUCHES: I understand what you
guys witnessed earlier today

was upsetting. That true?

What about it upsets you?

You cutting off their heads.

I see. Well...

The Raven's flock are blood artists.

We are modern-day barbarians.

Our clay are the b*ating
hearts of our enemy.

No, yeah, you've told us
this a number of times.

Right, right, but me saying it
and you saying it, two different things.

- That's right.
- FUCHES: Yeah.

(INHALES)

sh*t. Okay.

Well, should've thought this out more.

(SUCKS TEETH)

- May I make a suggestion?
- FUCHES: Mm-hmm.

Next time we capture enemies,

I or one of the guys take
the ladies out for a meal,

so they're not here when sh*t goes down.

Nice. It's a nice idea. Delightful meal.

And when you come back,
it's all cleaned up.

Yo, that was, like, a
sneak att*ck, though.

I-I'm not trying to be all whatever,

- but can't really, like, plan for those.
- Right. I get it. Right, right.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Yo, what about, uh,

like, noise-canceling headphones?

(FUCHES SIGHS)

You could put on a movie.

But those guys were
screaming really loud.

You could just put the volume up.

If it's a "Fast and
Furious," you won't hear sh*t.

That's not gonna drown out dudes
gettin' their heads cut off.

The one with the planes on the runway.

I saw it in the theaters, and
my ears are ringing for days.

What, was that "Tokyo Drift"? Is
that the one with Lil' Bow Wow?

No, it's "Furious ."
Uh, came out, like, .

- Six? I didn't see Six.
- That's the one

where Toretto comes out
the front of the plane...

It doesn't matter. They're all loud.

You gotta have a legit soundbar
if you want that to work, dude.

Soundbar or no soundbar,
the movie is loud.

Okay, muchacho... (SPEAKING SPANISH)

... "Fasty Furious"...
(CONTINUES IN SPANISH)

Okay? (SPEAKING SPANISH)

I still think I can
time it where we get them

out of the house for a nice
meal before sh*t goes down.

- (BIRDS CHIRPING)
- (STREAM FLOWING)

Gene Cousineau? Matt Iserson.

Pretend you don't know me.

Um...

Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

Daniel hasn't been this
excited about a role in ages...

Act like you're talking on your phone.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Daniel really loved the
complexity of your character.

The, uh, pathos, the
courage, the huge personality.

I-It's the total package.

But, i-in today's
landscape, unfortunately,

Daniel's not enough.

It's why we need to
attach another big name

- for the role of Berkman.
- Are you telling me

that Daniel can't get a movie made?

Not a theater movie.
Maybe a phone movie.

But, I think this story is big.

- I-It's not small.
- Yeah, right.

And I have a client
who wants to play Barry.

Mark Wahlberg.

Mark Wahlberg?

Are you sh1tting me?

Well, we ran this through
our marketing division,

and if we brought Mark on,

the studios would be in
a bidding w*r tomorrow.

Hm...

Well,

this would be a great way to
get Janice's story out there.

- MATT: It would, and that's what we hope.
- Yeah.

But we do have one
problem with Mark, though.

He doesn't wanna play a cop k*ller.

And seeing as this Berkman
guy k*lled your girlfriend,

that's a no-go.

Look, Barry is a very,
uh, complicated guy,

but a sympathetic soul.

You know, it, it...

He loves my character so much,

it made him do stupid things, like...

k*lling my girlfriend.

- Really?
- GENE: Yeah.

Because Mark is concerned
h-he's kind of a villain.

(INHALES)

But he was so desperate
to have a father figure.

Mark will relate to
that, and Daniel will know

exactly what to do with my character.

MATT: Oh God. (LAUGHS)
He'll k*ll it. Mm.

Look.

There is so much more than people know.

I mean, what you think you've seen,

what you think you've heard,

it is only the tip of the iceberg.

This is not a good-guy, bad-guy story.

It goes way deeper than
that. S-So much deeper.

Well, Mark wants this role
before it goes on the market,

so he's willing to
come on as a producer.

Anything to lock it down.

- How would you feel about meeting with him?
- Would he come here?

In the woods? No. No, no.

He's very frightened of the woods.

He'd like to meet you
at the Four Seasons.

In Beverly Hills.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV): You've got
one wide receiver lined up left,


three more, including the
tight end, on the right.


The running back Donovan lines
up on the left side of that.


ANNOUNCER (ON TV): Don't be
surprised if we see a screen pass here.


LA will pull that from time to time.

ANNOUNCER : Ball is hiked.
Evans looks right at his target.


He fakes! Oh, here we go!

Screen pass to the left for Donovan.

The rookie left tackle Galins
and a convoy of other linemen


are barreling down the left side

flanking any Boston defenders!

Look at him go! Donovan
still on his feet,


using his linemen as a shield.

And he is finally brought down

by Boston linebacker McCracken

at the -yard line.

ANNOUNCER : What a play by LA.

Just when you thought
the white flag was flown,


Rusis pulls out the
screen pass play call.


And Boston, uncharacteristically,
they fell for it.


There's normally a linebacker
who will act as a spy


for the running back in this situation

but Boston sent him after Evans.

Now that leaves the other two in charge

of the rest of LA's receivers

and it allows Donovan to run freely

for a massive gain.

If McCracken noticed this
play just a second later,


we could very well have been looking at

six points on the board for Los Angeles.

ANNOUNCER : Los Angeles is now
well within field goal range


but also just outside of the red zone.

How would you play this one, PG?

ANNOUNCER : I-I'd say play conserv...
