[officer] Go home, folks.
This is an active crime scene.

There's nothing to see

Excuse me. I'm sorry. Excuse me.

[officer] Everyone
out. Let's go.

[Kitty gasps, groans]

[sighs]

Oh...

Thought you retired from
the fieldwork, "Momma Bear."

[Kitty] I just dropped
a summons in Jasper

and saw all this ruckus on
the way back. What happened?

- No idea.
- Mm.

GBI'll be here any minute.

Stick around, if you like.

She wasn't a client
of yours, was she?

What? No.

I'm overstepping,

I know. I'll... I'll
get out of your hair.

Uh, why's Hub sending you
out to Jasper at this hour?

Didn't think the courthouse
would be open yet.

Well, I just like to keep busy.

They have a mail drop.

Anyway, I think he and Maryanne

might have something doing.

[chuckles] Oh,
they're back together?

That was fast.

Hope springs eternal.

Mm-hmm.

You always do mail drops
in your vest, Kitty?

You know me.

[laughs] I get it.

Glory days, right?

You know, we should
do lunch sometime,

you, Hub and me.

It'll be my treat.

We can laugh about
the Lindelof skip.

You remember that one?

I sure do.

- [laughs]
- That sounds great.

[officer] Sheriff,
you need to see this.

Uh, gotta run.

But... you be good, hear?

You, too.

[siren whooping]

[ominous music playing]

[telephone ringing]

[Kitty on recording] You've
reached Halloran Bond.

- Leave us a message.
- [machine beeps]

[Midge] Okay, as*h*le, pick up.

[i]- I read the f*cking file...

- [door opens]

...and you were right, okay?

- [footsteps approaching]
[i]- It is a big f*cking deal. Like...

[i]"Nothing else matters, everyone
we love is going to die,

[i]- end of the world" type of deal.

- [grunting]

- So call me back the second you get this.
- [machine beeps off]

[Lucky] I've lived
in some dumps, but...

a hose for a shower?

And are you sh1tting me
with that Murphy bed?

What the f*ck? Let me go!

Hey, I would have taken
you to my place, but, uh,

I got neighbors.

You know, I was trying
to figure out how you got

an angel like Maryanne to
set foot in this sh*thole.

Got to confess, I peeked.

Grower not shower,

myself. Congrats.

Jesus, Lucky, listen to me.

You have no clue what
you're messing with here.

But how you toy with M

just enough to keep her from
a better life without you,

not giving a sh*t how
unhappy you make her,

just so long as she
doesn't leave you behind?

Now, that is some possessive,

evil sh*t.

Demons. Actual demons from Hell.

I'm sad for her.

Cade, too, because, uh,

despite your abuse,

he might have a-a real
shot at being okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait.

Listen. Are you listening to me?

[Lucky] Demons, yeah.

Yeah, I'm looking at one.

[screaming]

We're gonna do a little
video for Maryanne.

[panting]

You think...

you think busting my fingers
is gonna win her back?

Of course not.

She will never be with me again.

Then why the f*ck...

Because I want to keep her safe!

From you!

She's in Nashville with Cade.

They're safe.

As long as they still love you,

they'll never be safe.

Now, unless you want Cade

in therapy, shut the f*ck
up while I do the opening.

Watch this alone,
Maryanne. You don't want

Cade to see this.

Last chance to stop it.

You alone now?

Okay.

You're a f*cking psycho.

[ominous, tense music playing]

Maryanne...

...you took a chance on
me, and I know I blew it,

so this isn't me
trying to win you back.

I know we're done, and
it breaks my heart,

because looking
after you and Cade

was saving my soul,

so I can't just walk
away without you

knowing the truth.

Yeah, I tried to k*ll Hub.

But he tried to k*ll me first.

You're so full of sh*t.

Neither of us are good
enough for you, Maryanne.

Uh, I know you won't
believe it coming from me.

You need to hear
the truth from Hub.

I know what you did that night.

So why don't you tell
her what happened?

To Cheryl.

Get f*cked.

Your choice, not mine.

[screams]

♪ This morning ♪

[i]♪ Woman started in on me... ♪

Hub Halloran.

Hey, Tiny.

Lucky in his office?

Not to be disturbed.
The Red Sox are playing.

- Oh, Christ.
- I know,

but he signs my checks.

- What inning?
- Mm...

by now, I don't know,
bottom of the eighth?

Tell him I'm waiting at the bar.

[Hub] Come on now, Cheryl.

Show me that you love me.

You're family, Hub,

- but Lucky marks the bottles now.
- Oh.

So not just a Yankee as*h*le,

a cheap Yankee as*h*le.

Aren't those the same thing?

I wouldn't kick him
out of bed, though.

Oh, well then, you
just go right on ahead

and steal him away
from Maryanne.

Yeah, you'd like
that, wouldn't you?

Yeah, it'd be helping me out.

- I'd even put in a good word for you.
- [scoffs]

You know we all hated him
when he first got here, right?

Sensible.

Yeah, but he's growing on us.

I mean, if Maryanne's
giving him a chance,

maybe we should?

Well, M has always had

terrible taste in men.

Huh.

[Lucky] Hey, Hub.

Really appreciate
you coming down.

How'd your game turn out?

- They're still playing.
- Oh.

And you're sitting
here talking to me?

- [Lucky chuckles]
- [Hub] I'm honored.

Well, the Sox are my religion,

but, uh, Maryanne and
Cade are more important.

Couldn't agree more.

Uh, can I talk
straight with you?

Only way I'll listen.

[Lucky] So, uh, we got
off on the wrong foot

and, uh, I want to fix that,

if you're willing. For, uh,

for M and for Cade.

[scoffs] So, you're
calling her "M" now, huh?

Let me tell you something,
Lucky, if you really loved them,

you'd get in that
shiny Cadillac of yours

and just drive the hell
out of their lives.

I know you showed
her my rap sheet,

and, uh, you've been calling
around Boston, shaking trees,

looking for a way
to get me jammed up.

But I'm... I'm out
of that life now.

I left my crew on good terms.

I'm square with the law.

No, well, that's heartwarming to
hear that you beat those m*rder raps

before you shacked
up with my wife.

Ex-wife.

Who knows about my past

because I have
never lied to her,

and I never will. It's our rule.

Oh, you got rules, huh?
Are there rules about

banging your AA sponsor?

She doesn't judge the man I
was, she sees the man I can be.

She is making me a
better person, Hub.

Believe me when I tell you this,

nobody would've thought that
was possible, least of all me.

But... I'm sober for the
first time since I was 12.

I've found Christ.

I'm just trying to
make amends here.

You've known Maryanne
for, what, nine months?

Nine months, 11 days, about
six hours. But who's counting?

She's no angel.

She is to me.

Well, she's spoken for.

[Lucky] Yeah.

By me.

Because I can give
her and your son

the life you will
never be able to.

M and I are just
in a rough patch.

Now some smooth-talking city prick
swoops in acting like he needs saving?

That's M's thing. She's
got too big a heart,

but, let me tell you
something, Lucky,

people don't change,

and eventually, she is gonna see

that you are still the same piece
of sh*t that you always were.

[exhales] One. Two.

- Three.
- Oh, there you go.

Yeah, count down your temper
while I tell you

- how this is gonna go.
- Five. Six.

- I will do anything to keep them safe.
- Seven. Eight.

- So, you back the f*ck off.
- Nine.

- Or I swear to God...
- Ten.

...I will k*ll you.

[scoffs] F...

[Lucky inhales]

Ah...

M warned me you were
stubborn. [chuckles]

But, Lord,
threatening to off me?

You don't got the ba*ls.

Wouldn't be me.
It'd be your crew.

Ha! In what fantasy?

The one where I plant
evidence that you are a rat.

[Lucky] Don't you f*cking...

[patrons gasp]

Ah...

- Get up.
- Hey. Ah-ah.

[Hub] Get up. Come on.

- [tense music playing]
- You...

Hey. Take your
f*cking hands off me.

I was trying, Lord.

You saw me, right?

[suspenseful music playing]

[panting]

[Hub grunts]

There's a line where I
can't turn the other cheek,

or my back, and you
just crossed it.

- Tiny, let me go.
- No, no, no.

- [Hub] What the f*ck, man?
- [Tiny] Stop.

[Hub] Take your hands off of
me. g*dd*mn it, let me go.

Lucky's gonna k*ll you.
