01x02 - Pacifier

[bunniefuu]

DECLAN: Previously, on Bad Blood...

Now what I'm proposing is a cooperative.

But there can only be one CEO.

Because I own something
that none of you do.

City Hall and the cops.

They came in to my house, Gilles.

These two punk nobodies.

My whole family was in.

I want to legitimize our
interests across the board.

Slowly pull back.

He gets to know all your
secrets, but I'm your son.

You don't get to know my secrets,

'cause I don't want you to.

- Declan's on the front line.
- Why should I tell you?

Because it's my job to ask.

My friend Josee, she
saw some 20-year-old

getting into your limo.

I've accepted that I may stay your

mistress for the rest of our lives.

Mr. Rizzuto?

This is an extradition order from the

United States Justice Department.

We're here to place you under arrest.

NICO JR.: From now on,
I'm in on every meeting.

I've got things covered, Nico.

Someone from the family needs
to be in charge.

Declan is family.

DECLAN: Vito got 10 years.

The judge sent him all the way

to Colorado Federal Penitentiary

just so he wouldn't be near any of us.

DECLAN: If any major
organization loses its CEO,

confidence from its
partners and investors

is bound to be a little shaky, right?

But a well-run organization,
it knows not to panic.

It's just a little turbulence.
You ride it out.

Vito left me in charge.

No one had any issues with that.

And things would have been just
fine, if not for the little prince.

Nico Junior decided that he
should be the one to take over,

even though his old man
told him to stay out of it.

Hey!

I believe we have
some business to discuss.

No, we had that discussion.

I told you I'm not paying anymore,
then I hung up the phone.

Now piss off, junior.

DECLAN: They never
would have said that to me

or anyone from our crew.

They figured the kid wasn't
gonna to do much about it.

But this wasn't just anyone's kid.

His mentors weren't exactly priests.

Come on!





All right! How do I unlock this?

Ah! [CHUCKLES]



- What the f*ck is that?
- That's gasoline, man.

- [FIRE BLAZING]
- [MEN SCREAMING IN PAIN]

DECLAN: Acting like a psychopath,

just to prove he should be the boss,

set off a chain reaction
throughout the city.

So to say things went crazy
in the first couple months

when Vito got locked up, that
would be a great understatement.

- [g*n FIRES]
- DECLAN: Everyone went to w*r.

Crews came after us.

The bikers went after the Irish.

Irish went after Haitians.

A total domino effect
of sh*t for brains panic.

And you know what they were doing?

They were all trying to rip
each other's faces right off.







What the hell's wrong with that kid?

Declan, look, I know
you can handle the operations,

but that kid is gonna burn down

the whole g*dd*mn city

if that's how he's gonna handle things.

I'll get Nico under control.

How are the Irish taking this?

I'm into it with them right now.

Mick, he's in the dark
about the whole thing.

His guys did it behind his back.

Now...

The investigation into the car fire?

I'll take care of it, that's
going nowhere, don't worry.

Yeah?

Listen...

I knew there'd be a period
of adjustment when Vito left,

but you need to control things.

If people don't know
who they're dealing with,

they'll think nobody's in charge.

Little extra for your trouble.



I have to go deal
with this Cambodian prick.

We got the whole block
except for this one jerk.

Don't break his nose.

Not another nose.

Definitely gonna break his nose.

They are starting to call you the nose.

- Who?
- People.

People? What people?

- People!
- Give it to me.

You?

All right!

Go get me a sandwich and it's yours.

What, I'm buying you lunch
to let me do your job?

That's what we do, isn't it?

People pay us money, we let
them run their business.

And if they don't pay us money,
we screw with their lives.

He has a point.

Yeah! Oh, and extra cheese.

And tell them not to skimp on the fries.

It's a g*dd*mn potato.

What does it cost, three cents?

And the satisfaction
it brings its customers,

it's worth the expense.

I'll be sure to bring up
restaurant economics with 'em.

Yeah.

And a Pepsi too, smart a*s!





How can there be no record of this?

Yes, they're right outside
my restaurant right now!

Of course I'm sure!

Got a light?

Thanks.

You okay?

Can you believe this?

The city has no idea
what they're doing here

or how it's gonna take.

They have no record.

I know.

Dealing with the city
can be a nightmare, I know.

I pay my taxes.

They are supposed to work for me.

That's how it's supposed to be.

I've got people, friends
who work for the City Hall,

I can make a call for you.

- Really?
- Really, it's just a phone call.

We're neighbors.

You work for the gangsters.

I work for the neighborhood.

You don't scare me.

I grew up in a country where my friends

get k*lled, they get
shot in the street.

You don't scare me.

I am not gonna pay you.

Mr. Ling, you're looking
at this the wrong way.

Me, and the people I work for,
we so admire people like you

who come to a country with nothing,

and they, they, they learn a new
language, they have to start over

and build a life.

And that life needs to be protected.

Me and the people I work for,

if you, if you have
any problems, with anything,

a permit, the city,
a dog who's barking so loud

you can't even nap on a Sunday
afternoon, you call me.

And I'll take care of it.

Okay?

Because I'm your representative.

I work for you.



Good afternoon, Mr. Rizzuto.

- Declan?
- Yeah.

- Irish, right?
- Yeah, rumor has it.

I wanted some face to face with you

because I hear you've been
doing some good things.

- Thank you, sir.
- All right.

So I gotta take care of this one thing.
You listen, don't talk.

Good job with the Cambodian.

One more broken nose
and I was gonna have a mutiny.

- He's actually Chinese.
- Whatever.

Good burger, huh?

The secret is that they, uh,
they bake the buns right here.

Makes all the difference.

So, I'm sorry to interrupt
your lunch, Mr. Desjardins,

I know you only got like 15 minutes.

I just wanted to let you know that the

new minivan, that you just leased...

It's paid up, in full.

It's yours.

Your two boys, Mark and Luke,
they play hockey right?

- Yeah. Uh-huh.
- Lots of room for gear in the back.

You know... You know who I am, right?

Yes.

I just want you to memorize
these four company names.

Because on Friday morning,
you're gonna receive bids

for the Eastend snow removal contract,

and these four companies are who
you're gonna give the bid to.

Do you understand me?

- Yeah.
- Right.

I want you to memorize those four names.

All right?

Don't let your burger
get cold, it's very important.



VITO: You wanna know what I do?

I size people up. That's it.

But I size them up fast
and I size them up right.

You push too hard, you cause
problems for yourself.

You push too little,
people think you're soft.

- They can take what's yours.
- Yeah.

But, in you, I see
someone who has that ability.

I'm gonna do great things in this
town but I'm gonna need help.

I can buy muscle all day long.

But instinct...

That's something you gotta
nurture if you come across it.

- You ready to work?
- Yes, sir. Yeah.

You look good.

I look like sh*t.

What the hell's going on?

It's like you said it would happen.

They're coming at us from all sides.

I'm talking about my son.

I'll get to that other stuff later.

Some of Mick's guys figured
they'd go out on their own.

So they went to Nico directly.

They thought he'd be soft.

Why are they even going to him?

'Cause he's, he's gettin' it out there

that he's heir to the throne.

Look, I know he's stubborn,
but you gotta make him stop.

- I will.
- Declan.

I don't want him involved in this.

It's a priority.

As for this other shitstorm
that's going on,

you know if they think there's a split,

they're all gonna panic,
just like they're doing.

Right.

What you need to give
them, is a pacifier.

Don't let them cry it out.

You gotta give them something.

Right?

You have to take the lead.

Show them you're in charge.

The number one priority, right now,

is to focus on the family.

Yeah.

Taking care of the family.

Taking care of my son.

Yeah.

You can count on me.

Thank you.

HANK: We're stalled.

One of our financiers backed out,

and that delay caused us to
miss a couple of deadlines.

Now we're backed up with permits.

I can't get anyone at City Hall
to move on this either way.

I'd nowhere else to turn to because

your father used to deal
with all this, but...

Yeah.

So?

Can you fix it?

I know the usual commission is 2.5%,

but given the present climate and
market volatility in our business,

you'll have to go up to three and half.



Your father's in for 10% of the whole.

Hmm... If everything
proceeds without a hitch,

it's gonna take you
two, three years to finish.

Another year after that
to sell 75% of the units.

So we're not looking
at a return for four years.

That's how equity usually works, yeah.

I know how it works. I'm a developer.

Look.

This is a deal I made with
your father, he asked for it.

I understand that but I have to
deal with the realities of today.

It's gonna take a lot of money,
to get you back on track.

I can't wait four years.

Nico, please.

With all due respect, I don't think
you understand how this works.

When your father took a commission,

I factored that into the cost
and I made my bid accordingly.

We're way past that now.

I can't raise the price
of the whole project 3.5%

and pay off all the engineers and
all the other idiots after that.

Vito took care of that for his 10%.

I will lose money if I go
to commission with you.

I have to ensure
that we maintain the cash flow

required to keep businesses
like yours alive.

If you do not accept our offer,

I will make certain that you will
not see one permit approved.

The whole thing will
sit here for 1,000 years

and this rotting pile of sh*t
will be your legacy.

Kiss my a*s.

Hank!

Why don't you take the night?

- Think on it.
- No, thanks. I got other options.

You know what?

I came here outta respect
for your father.

But you...

You're no Vito, that's for damn sure!

f*ck!

I feel so guilty.

He's the one in prison and I'm the
one having a hard time coping.

I can't sleep.

I know this is triggering
my abandonment issues.

But it's like...

I finally got comfortable
with the choices I've made,

and...

And he's taken away from me.

And I have to start all over again.

He's gonna be gone for years.

- You're following me?
- No.

Gio's following you.

He told me where you're at.

Hey, hey, hey.

Come one, we'll protect you,
you know how this works.

I don't want him to know about this.

Let's go talk.

Come on.

You can't see your therapist anymore.

You can't tell me that.

- Michelle... Michelle...
- No, don't...

Don't give me that sh*t, Declan.

- No one's ever had to worry about me.
- I know.

I'm the best mistress
anyone could ever hope for.

He can trust me just as much as you.
And he knows it.

And... I'm not ashamed of getting help.

- No...
- She's a doctor.

Yeah, I know, there's
nothing to be ashamed of.

I mean, God knows we could all
use a little more mental help.

She just can't be trusted.

She's a doctor.

She's a person.

And Michelle, you don't
know anything about her.

The feds, they could go after her.

Or threaten her family with things,

a thousand things, unless
she gave them something.

No one fights fair
in our world, you know.

I'm not stupid. I don't tell
her anything about Vito.

Conversations are over with her.

Who am I supposed to talk to?

And don't say you.

Emotional intelligence is
not high up on your resume.

You might be surprised.

I trust two people to keep my secrets.

God, and my mirror.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- DECLAN: Hey, Vito!
- Yeah, come on.

Want a cappuccino?

Ah, no thanks.

I thought we were having a meeting?

Yeah, I wanted to see you alone.

- Gio.
- Yeah, sure.

I can come back.

Just a minute. Come, stand here.

Right here? Why?

Well, I heard it was your birthday.

This is your present.

Mauro's the finest tailor I've ever met

and I've had suits
made all over the world.

Uh, I'm not really a suit guy.

Hey, every man of standing
needs to have a proper suit.

Oh... I guess I have
one occasion for it.

- VITO: What's that?
- My funeral. [CHUCKLES]

Very funny.

No really, these are expensive, Vito.

- Bullshit, will you stop?
- You don't have to do this for me.

- No, really...
- Please, will you stop?

It's my gift to you, all right?

Maybe you got a special occasion.

With your family, or...

You never talk about your family.

Well, my family, I didn't really...

That's a whole other conversation.

That's all right.

You're my family now.

Stand up straight, look at yourself.

Look good.

Yeah!

Stay.



Hank needs to be reminded
who his partners really are.

Do it.



DECLAN: Poor Hank. Didn't know
what he got himself into.

Poor us for having to deal
with the ripple effects.

DECLAN: Where is he?

All right, we all need
to get on the same page

so things don't get outta hand.

What were you thinking?

- I was thinking...
- No, wait!

I'm gonna start
with a different question.


did, without consulting anyone?

I didn't think I had
to consult anyone...

Do you know how badly you screwed up?

May I speak?

Hank, the guy whose car you blew
up for no explicable reason,

do you know that he's,
he's dating Papa Lou's sister?

Do you know who Papa Lou is?

- The Haitian g*ng leader.
- I didn't know the sister thing.

You don't know the sister thing

because getting back
to my first question,

you didn't consult anybody
before blowing up the car,

we would have told you not to do that.

- That was your second question.
- No, it's not my second question,

I've changed my second
question to my first question.

We'll deal with my
second question later.

What the hell is this g*dd*mn dog?

I bought the kids a dog 'cause
they're missing their grandfather.


to prison and you buy a dog.

You wanna tell me how to be a parent
now? How many kids do you have?

Okay, take it easy.
Take it easy. Take it easy.

Papa Lou, Papa Lou, Papa Lou.

He kills guys for less.

A lot less.

Not to mention that
we've got a lucrative

hashish and prostitution
business going with him.

Kiss that money goodbye.

NICO JR.: You telling me to be scared?

- Okay, there...
- Bruno, stay outta this!

DECLAN: His incompetence
doesn't stop there.

Just by coincidence, Hank's
girlfriend, Papa Lou's sister,

lives above the building
of O'Leary's Pub,

and that's where the Irish are
running their ecstasy out of.

Well, that expl*si*n caused
so many g*dd*mn cops to come

that the Irish had to put
their operation on hold for,

I don't know, two weeks, maybe a month.

And they want us to cover their losses.

- Too bad for them.
- No, it's not too bad for them.

We're gonna cover their losses.

That's a clear violation on our part.

And they can shove it up their asses.

- We are in charge!
- No!

No! You reneged
on your father's deal.

I made an executive decision.

You're not a g*dd*mn executive of sh*t!

The problem, as I see it,

is that you want to bend over
for every g*dd*mn thing.

We have to be twice as hard now.

The message has to be clear.

Vito may be gone, but the
Rizzutos still run everything.

Did you hear that last part, Declan?

The Rizzutos.

Remind me again your last name!

Uh... I think the dog just took a piss.

God damn it!

- [PHONE RINGS]
- What?

What? Sophie?

- Get him outta here.
- I'll be right there.

Declan... [SPEAKING ITALIAN]

What's wrong?

Get the hell off of me,
you group of shitheads!

Get off me!

Get off!

Hey, hey, hey! Sophie, whoa, whoa!

Tell these freaks to let me go!

They'll let you go if you calm down.

- Calm down, baby.
- Get 'em off!

Calm down or this is gonna get ugly.

Hey, come on.

Okay?

I got her. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on over here.
Come on.



- Why you so drunk?
- I'm not.

- You're drunk.
- So?

Why would you come here?
His family's inside.

No one's gonna return my calls.

- You know he's not here...
- Vito won't call me.

- No, no, no, no...
- My letters get returned.

Why won't he call me?

Listen.

You hear me?

You gotta get it together right now.

Or you could very well end up dead.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Come on... Come on...

Come on... Come on.

Was he... Was he still
talking to that other sl*t?

The old one?

- Just tell me!
- No.

You want me to tell you something?

This is the truth.

'Cause I see him, I talk to him.

He misses you.

Okay?

But listen, you have
to be 100% invisible.

I mean he's on monitors
all the time, 24/7 okay?

So he can't be in contact with anyone.

Okay.

- Okay...
- Take her home!

We're gonna take you home, okay?
Go home.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Go home, Sophie.

- I'm sorry.
- Go home. Don't worry about it, baby.

DECLAN: Now go. Come on.

Will this ever end?

Jail, I mean.

- The hell was that?
- Don't worry about it.

- You know what?
- What?

Get the hell outta my house.

That's right, my house.

I grew up in that house.

You're not the head of this family.

How long's it gonna take
for you to understand that?

Your behavior, right now, and upstairs,

you can get
a lot of people k*lled, Nico.

And maybe even yourself, too.

We pay you to make sure that
that doesn't happen.

If you're not up for the job,
we'll find someone else who is.

Now, if you'll excuse me, the
family is sitting down for dinner.

We're gonna have an


Gonna have two refrigerators, an
eight burner commercial stove.

It'd be cheaper to buy
an entire restaurant.

Nah, nah, I got a restaurant.

I gotta have seven bedrooms,
and eight bathrooms.

- Eight bathrooms?
- Yeah.

One bathroom for each room, and then

an extra special one just for me.

He's building a hotel, not a house.

What do you need so much for?

Pop, I keep telling you, when I retire,

I want everybody in the family

to come live under
the same roof. All right?

Like in the old days.

NICO SR.: Oh, like in the old days.

We left the old country 50 years ago

so we wouldn't have to live
all under the same roof.

Now you give this gift back to us.

Italian prison, thank you very much.


to build a legacy.

This house is fantastic.

It's gonna be so good,
it doesn't need an address.

Everybody's gonna know,
this is the Rizzuto home.

Yeah, build an empire, not a home.

I am, Pop.

Hey, Jerry, I wanna talk to you later

about plans for the green house.

You got it.

- NICO SR.: Declan?
- Yeah.

Something's come up
we're gonna need you for.

Anything.

There is a man we have heard
coming from Calabria,

a very dangerous man,
from The 'Ndrangheta.

They call him "The Smile"

because he's got all these scars.

He's all cut up,
but he lived through it.

He was hired by the Devil's Kings.

- To do what?
- To k*ll Vito.

The bikers want to
take over the heroin trade.

The number one priority
is Vito's safety.

I tried to tell him to
go away for a while,

but he won't listen to me.

Pop! Pop, what did I tell ya?

This is not the time to run.

It's the time
to stand still and be calm.

Pop, I'm in this.

As long as I'm alive,
no one's ever gonna harm Vito.

I appreciate that.

On behalf of the family,

I wanna be the first
to invite you to live in

any of the 85 bedrooms that
this guy is making, okay.

Just don't use my bathroom!



The special one.

- [MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
- [MOTORCYCLES REVVING]

- Bonjour!
- Ca Va?

- Yeah? Good, me too.
- Sure.

DECLAN: I'm here to see Jacques.

Where's Vito?

Hey.

Just us.

I don't think you came
up here for a hot dog.

What do you want?

Can we talk in private?

No.

- Skip that bullshit.
- Okay, I'll skip the bullshit.

Um, from now on,

all conversations with
The 'Ndrangheta, they're over.

So you know about that?

It's okay.

We understand.

Sometimes, people, they
start thinking its greener

somewhere else, you know?

It's normal.

It's like that

hot girlfriend that you
just can't stop screwing

until you see another hot girlfriend.

I don't know man,
I screw them all, Declan.



Of course you do, Jacques.

You're a very sexy man.

But the Rizzutos, they like
commitment. They're Italian.

You know church, family, food...

So we're gonna make our current
deal more favorable for you.

You're gonna get 5% more,

the product's gonna be 20% more pure.

Now, you can sell it that way or

you can chop it up into
the sh*t you normally do.

Why would you come here
offering me more money

if you think I'm trying to screw you?

Vito, he understands people.

People get angry, when they feel

they're not getting
what they deserve, you know?

We should all be happy
with what we're getting.

That way there's no reason
to screw it all up.

He's, uh...

Sigmund Freud, your boss.



Okay, good. Decalisse.

I got one more thing for you.
It's in the car.

Don't sh**t.

Gio.



- Brought us a gift?
- Yeah.

Sacrément...

He was a vile b*stard, this one.

You should've heard what he was saying

the moment before
I chopped off his head.



If you ever, ever try
to screw us again, ever.

The rest of The Smile's
body parts are gonna be found

in all the exhaust pipes of every
bike that I see around here.

You will all go to prison for the

m*rder of that little shitty b*stard.

Next time you're unhappy, just
come back to the hot girlfriend.

Talk to us.

We're pretty reasonable.

Excuse me.

Where did you get your purse?

It was a gift from my boyfriend.

Aw, well, it's beautiful.

Your boyfriend has very good taste.

Thank you.

You should try that on.

It would look great with your skin tone.

It's not really my style.

What about this?

It's nice.

Well, let me put it this way.

Your boyfriend obviously
has very good taste.

Would he like a dress like this?

On you, I mean.

He prefers things that are
a bit more, um, understated.

See I find that they say that
in public, but, not in private.

But, I mean, what do I know?

I'm still single.

- Excuse me.
- Yeah, of course.



You don't think I know who you are?

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Stay away from him, you g*dd*mn wh*re!

Stay out of our life.

I'm gonna k*ll you!



Good for us.

- Good job.
- All right.

You made a deal with him behind my back?

No, I fixed things.

If my father was here, you
never would have done

something like this
without his consent.

Well, that's right.

But your father would never have created

a mess like this in the first place.

And you're okay with this?

Let him explain.

Your father's explicit long-term vision

is to make all our businesses legit.

So, I've arranged for some
outside financial guys

to come in to finish the project.

We worked with these people before.

Now we're gonna get 1.5% of their cut,

and we'll do all the permits if needed,

and then we get 10% of the sales.

It's already agreed on.

It's all above board.
Are you following me so far?

Then the electrical and water work

are gonna be subcontracted
back to us by the city.

It's already arranged by my guy.

And we're gonna get
more money for that.

And then, to fix the
problem you created

with the Haitians and the Irish,

we're gonna give four
condos for a buck each.

We're gonna give one to the Haitians,

one to the Irish, one to the bikers,
and keep one for ourselves.

So, on the one hand, these gifts
are to help smooth things over.

And on the other hand,
once the complex is finished,

we're gonna have a secure meeting place

where the cops
can't follow us in or out.

- It's good work, Declan.
- Declan, it's very good.

NICO JR.: Nonno, how can you
say very good?

So we make a few dollars, he
gives condos to these animals!

All we have is our name and
he is using it for himself.

I respect that name more than my own.

Everybody knows Papa wasn't
behind this, it was Declan!

On his own.

Now, I wasn't there, you weren't there.

How do we know what else he gave them?

For the past year, he's the only one

going to Colorado to see my father.

Why have we given him all the keys?

Nico, your father explicitly
wanted Declan

to be the liaison so all the heat
is always on him and only him.

If you wouldn't have gotten busted

with an eight ball in your
pocket in Atlantic City

at your bachelor party, you'd
be racking up the air miles.

- You son of a b*tch!
- I'm done. I got work.

Where are you going?

I think I'll go see Hank first.

You do not walk away
from the head of this family

until I say you can!

Declan.

Nico.

You gotta stop this, you understand me?

Your father would
never have permitted this.

Pop's not here right now, though.
That's the whole point.

No, I'll tell you what the point is.

The point is that Declan, has been

at your father's right
hand, for many years.

Declan went to prison for this family.
He stood up.

He knows everything your
father knows and you don't.

Here's what you don't
really understand.

Your father never had this
kind of life in mind for you.

He sent you to private school,

he wanted you to be something else.

He wanted you to have a different life.

And you're gonna listen to him
because I want that too

and you're gonna listen
to the both of us.



I understand that,
but things are different now.

Nonno, family should be
making these decisions.

This is a very dangerous time for us.

And the only person you can
ever really trust is family.

Declan is family.

The only way that people will be certain

that Vito Rizzuto is still
on top of everything

is that if a Rizzuto is there
to say it for him!

Listen, what you really
don't understand,

all we want to do is keep you safe.



- DECLAN: He just walked out.
- Who?

Nico!

He can't be without his protection.
Now get going!

- Nico has the keys.
- g*dd*mn it!

How many times I gotta tell you
guys you need to protect? Now move!

Move!



sh*t! sh*t!

f*ck!



Nico! Hey, hey, Nico!

Hey. Oh, sh*t!

sh*t. Nico!

No. No. Argh!

Nico. Nico!

Nico, God. Nico!

REPORTER: There was a drive-by
sh**ting late last night in Montreal.

The intended victim,
Nicolo Rizzuto Junior,

is the son of mob boss Vito Rizzuto

who is currently serving a 10-year
prison sentence in Colorado.

And so far, no witnesses
have come forward.

We're gonna have to keep you under
observation for a few more days.

Okay?

Just think of this as a miracle.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

Does this finally settle it for you?

What do you mean?

This proves my point.

Someone tried to k*ll you!

This proves that people think of
me as the head of this family.

So that's what you take outta this?

Nonno, I don't have a choice anymore.

This is a test.

They wanna see how we handle this.

If I run away and hide, they're
gonna think we're scared.

They're gonna come
for everything that we have.

NICO SR.: This is not
your father's plan for you.

It's not just about me anymore.

Nonno...

I don't have a death wish.

I'm just trying to protect what's ours.



Bruno, do we have
any idea who did this?

BRUNO: Could've been anyone.

Irish, bikers, Haitians,
another crew from New York...

Our guys are trying to find out.

It could have been anyone, Nico.
You've pissed off a lot of people.

But you're still alive, it's
not too late to step back.

Where's Declan?

Declan saved your life.







Why was he alone?

Like I said, he just ran off.

I leave you in control of my business

and you can't control a kid
who's having a tantrum?

What did I tell you about Nico?

Keep him safe.

I don't give a sh*t about
anything else, you understand?

Don't you dare try to blame my son.

He's my son.

He's allowed to screw up.

I don't know, maybe putting
you in charge of my business

is like messing with your head.

Or inviting you to my dinner table,

or buying you birthday presents...

Let me make something very clear to you.

You are my employee.

You work for me.

I pay you to take care of my business,

I pay you to take care of my home.

And most importantly, I pay
you to take care of my family.

You work for me.

You understand?

Yes.

Yes, boss! Yes, sir!

Whatever it takes
to remind you of your place.

Yes, boss.



DECLAN: Next time on Bad Blood...

It's not safe in here
for a man like you.

I feel pretty safe about you.

Thanks for your concern.

We have two priorities.

Protect the boss and keep Nico safe.

I, like everyone in this city have read

the brave, shocking reporting
about the corruption

that exists on all levels
of our public works.

And that organized crime
has its hand in all of it.

sh*t.

I am Vito, right now!
