Previously on Ice...

Freddy: You need these stones out of the country.

I can take them over the border for you.

Lady Rah: There's no time to drive them, Freddy.

They need to be flown.

[retching]

The stones in that bucket, or your guts on the floor.

Freddy! Freddy...

Femi: You think this is a game?

My sons we're talking about... my boys!

Lady Rah: Where are my stones?

Jake: Your boy, Femi, took them once we crossed the border.

You f*cking set us up?

There is no version of me being behind this, Jacob.

You are the only one who can make this family whole again.

I'm leaving you a little something.

It's for the whole family.

I'm giving it only to you.

You ungrateful f*cking piece of sh*t!

[loud thud, crash]

Jesus...

Doctor: I'm afraid the operation was not successful.

[sirens wail distantly]

[rabbi speaks in Hebrew]

Freddy: As it is said...

"And I will pour upon you pure water, and you will be purified of all your defilements, and from all your abominations, I will purify you."

[sniffs]

[rabbi speaks in Hebrew]

Just one second.

We only have an hour or so to help set up before we have to leave for the cemetery.

[rabbi speaks in Hebrew]

Freddy: "And Adonai shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by a spirit of judgement and with a searing breath."

Rabbi: It's all right.

It's okay.

Hey...

What did Papa always tell us whenever we were sad?

Like all things, this, too, shall pass.

And it will.

I'm going to miss him so much.

I know, honey... but someday, sooner than you think, you're going to remember him with all of the joy and none of the pain.

I promise.

I'm ready for someday.

[rabbi speaks in Hebrew]

Freddy: And I will pour upon you pure water, and you will be purified of all your defilements... [sniffles] and from all your abominations, I will purify you.

Rabbi: Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Thank you, Rabbi.

You coming, kid?

Yeah, just give me one sec.

Yeah, yeah, take all the time you need.

You were the only one that could've fixed me.

What now?

Cam: Listen, boys...

Yeah?

I don't want to make us late for the burial, but this is probably the last chance we're going to get to talk in private today.

Lady Rah... she said there would be a ripple effect, am I right?

f*ck her.

Hey, Freddy, wind your f*cking neck in.

Now, we need a clear head if we're going to survive this situation.

Jake: Yeah, well, we have no f*cking clue what she meant by that thr*at.

So until we figure it out, we have to stay close, and we have to have each other's backs.

You understand what he said? Kid? Right?

Stay close. Have each other's back.

Ava: Time to go.

We have to leave now if we're going to have time to pick up Aunt Sarah before we go to the cemetery.

What?

She agreed to come to the burial as long as she could ride with us, but I'm going to need your help to convince her to come back to the house afterwards.

She hates crowds.

Well, we just need to help her feel safe.

Why can't she just ride with Uncle Cam?

Because, Willow... she feels comfortable with us, and things are a little strained between the two of them right now.

Well, they've never gotten along.

And they probably never will.

That's why we're giving her a ride.

Let's go.

I get paid by the hour, Alexi.

I can do this all day long.

Carlitos, you know me...

It's Detective Vega.

I did nothing.

If I had something to tell you, I would.

Really?

Because you waived your right to counsel, so that tells me you've got something to say.

So you better stop f*cking with me, 'cause I got more on you than you think.

All you've got on me is possession of a watch that wasn't even declared stolen.

You sure about that?

Yeah.

Yeah? So now, what, you're a street lawyer?

Well, let me ask you, counselor, the owner of that watch... is he dead?

How would I know?

As I told you before, I got it off my uncle.

And your uncle got it from a shady mortician called the Baker.

Don't you throw your f*cking hands up at me!

You know the Baker, don't you, Alexi?

I don't recall meeting a guy with a name like that... but my memory's for sh*t lately.

Really?

Is that so bad that you don't remember Simone and Dalit being k*lled in that demolition yard the other night?

Don't know what you're talking about.

I have a witness who saw you hauling ass after they got sh*t.

So either you k*lled them, or whatever scheme you were involved in got them k*lled.

You're bluffing.

Yeah?

See this?

Some shell casings that we found on the scene with your prints on them, next to the bodies.

I guess you should've wore your gloves the night you loaded that g*n magazine.

Oh, yeah, I can see that look in your eye now.

You're thinking you can probably talk your way out of this.

You are as dumb as a cup of dirt, Alexi, so that sh*t is not going to happen.

I didn't k*ll them, and I damn sure didn't k*ll Avi.

You see?

Now it feels like we're about to have a real honest conversation... so I'm going to need some caffeine.

[yells]

We'll find you a private area where you can sit without being bothered.

I'm not sure I can go in.

Sarah, you need to do this.

Before Isaac d*ed, he told me that family should stay together... and that includes you.

I need your help.

Please.

[visitor chatter grows louder]

[low chatter]

Cam: Hey.

Thank you so much for coming.

How's your mother?

Oh, she's fine.

Jake, I'm so sorry.

Your father was a wonderful man.

Thank you for coming by.

I'll ask the family to stand for the Mourner's Kaddish.

[singing in Hebrew]

Carlos: Are we going to cut the bullshit, talk to each other straight, or are you just going to keep busting my cock?

I didn't k*ll Avi.

Word on the street is that Freddy did it.

Carlos: Look, I'm trying to help you, but I cannot go to the D.A. with street rumors.

If I come clean, will you cut me a break?

Depends on what you got.

[Mourner's Kaddish echoes]

It was a diamond heist at the dock.

Jake and Freddy planned it.

That another street rumor?

No, they came to me for help.

Carlos: It went bad?

Alexi: I double-crossed them.

That's why my guys got k*lled.

[g*nshots]

So it was Jake and Freddy who k*lled your guys at the demolition yard the other night?

[Alexi exhales] I don't know.

They were wearing masks.

What about the Baker, and Avi's watch?

Alexi: Like you said, he's a mortician.

They call him "The Baker" because he makes bodies disappear in those ovens of his, so if Avi went missing, and the Baker had his watch... do the math.

[echoing of the Mourner's Kaddish]

[singing the Mourner's Kaddish]

Amen.

Ava...

I'm sorry for your loss.

You're not welcome here.

I can forgive your hostility.

We didn't meet under the best of circumstances.

My interruption of you and your family at the gala was incredibly rude.

Your ex-husband says that you raise money for children with cancer.

Ava: I didn't realize you knew Jake well enough to know what I do.

Well, it's just business chatter.

I respect that.

Perhaps I'll make a donation.

Can I speak to you in private, please?

Sorry!

You have no right to be here.

This is for family and friends, and you are neither.

That wasn't always the case, Jacob.

Leave the past in the past.

I just came to pay my respects to Isaac.

He was a good man... and to check up on you after Vancouver.

I know you, Jacob.

k*lling a man isn't something you've done before, and isn't something you would take lightly.

Today, we mourn Isaac.

Tomorrow, we discuss business.

Ava, it's just awful.

I can't believe he's gone.

I know.

Your brother-in-law will be missed.

Yes, he will.

Thank you so much for coming.

Of course.

Thank you.

You know, I'm so happy that Ava convinced you to come to the house.

I didn't come for you, or to make you happy, Cam.

I came for Isaac.

Whatever the reason...

I love you very much, Sarah.

I appreciate the fact that you had to dig deep to find the courage to show up.

Don't worry, kid.

I'll figure a way to straighten this all out, get the company on track.

You mean we'll figure a way... don't you, Cam?

This is what I do, Jake.

You know, we're family, for better, for worse.

What are you looking at?

My grandmother, before World w*r II.

Jesus, that the stone?

Jake: Mm-hmm.

The infamous holocaust diamond.

It's got to be worth, what, 140, 150 mill?

I don't know.

Pop said it was 36 carats.

Well, where the f*ck is it?

No idea.

It would solve a lot of our problems.

Yes, it would.

Yes, it would.

Come on.

I don't even know half these people.

Your Papa was a loved and respected man.

People met him once and remembered him forever.

Are you guys okay?

Hanging in there.

You?

Yeah, hanging in there.

I was just telling Willow how lucky she was that she had her Papa as long as she did.

We don't always get to spend that much time with the people we love.

I know... and you're right.

That's why it's important to stay close to the ones you love while you can.

I know. That's all I want... for us to be a family again.

We are a family, Will.

No, a real family, like we used to be... all together in the same house.

Maybe we can talk about that.

It's been an emotional day for everyone.

Let's go back inside, Willow.

sh*t.

Ava: Hello.

I'm Ava.

Thank you for coming.

I was Isaac's daughter-in-law.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Ava.

My name is Pieter Van de Bruin.

I was an old friend of Isaac's.

Please accept my deepest condolences.

Thank you.

Which of his sons was so fortunate enough to capture your hand?

Jake, but we divorced a few years ago.

Oh, I'm so very sorry to hear that.

Cam: Mr. Van de Bruin?

Cameron!

How good to see you, old friend.

You too.

I wish it were under more pleasant circumstances.

When I was first notified of Isaac's passing, I immediately made reservations and flew here to pay my respects.

Your brother-in-law was a giant among men.

That he was.

It's great to see you, Pieter.

I see you've met our Ava.

Indeed... and what a lovely woman you are, Ava.

It was lovely to meet you, Mr. Van de Bruin.

If you'll excuse me.

Is there somewhere private that we may speak?

Yeah, come on.

Hey!

There she is! Willie G!

What up, girl?

Stand up.

Aw, there she is.

Oh, you're a sight for sore eyes.

Come on, now, you've got to get some of this good food up in here.

We've got enough to feed all of Jerusalem.

I'm not hungry.

Really?

Maybe you should eat... seems like you've had a lot to drink.

[mock gasps]

How dare you, young lady?

You know what?

You're getting belligerent.

For you, no more alcohol.

For me, more kugel.

[giggles]

You've got to get that. No?

All right... more for me.

I...

I'm just surprised you came to Los Angeles so soon.

$20 million worth of my diamonds had been stolen, and you thought I would be dragging my heels?

That f*cking load was never meant to go down like that, you know.

I had a hand on it.

I never anticipated getting f*cked over by the Russians.

I don't believe that I would go so far as to say that that situation had ever been in hand.

Lady Rah had recovered my stones, and I was very touched... and then the cow lost them again in Vancouver.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

My boys played their part... above and beyond.

They even laid down two f*cking Nigerians.

And my men will find the third, and my missing diamonds.

And after that?

Cameron...

I think we both know what happens after that... but my diamonds are not the only reason I came here.

Isaac's gone now.

What better time for me to be in Los Angeles?

[packet crinkles]

[inhales, snorts]

[inhales]
How are you doing, Aunt Sarah?

This whole thing is very uncomfortable.

I haven't seen these people in years.

At least you've met them.

He loved you very much.

I'm going to miss him.

He always made me feel special.

You know, he was teaching me about diamonds.

Oh.

Well, they were his life.

Every stone has a flaw.

That's what makes them unique, like people.

He always used to say that.

The ancient Romans used to say diamonds were the tears of the gods.

That's beautiful.

Before Papa d*ed, he told me he was going to leave me something special.

I never trusted a gift.

Ava: It's been a long week, but... it'll be okay.

I'll call you in a couple weeks, okay?

About what I said...

You just can't say things like that in front of Willow.

She'll get her hopes up.

She doesn't need any more heartbreak right now.

I know. You're right. You're right.

Thank you for all of this.

It was a good turnout.

[exhales]

Cam has some peculiar friends.

What are you talking about?

Pieter Van de Bruin.

Just wanted to get away from him as soon as I met him, the way he...

I'm sorry.

Cam: Jakey!

What, are you looking for somebody?

Jake: Pretty sure I found him.

Jake?

You must be Jacob Green.

I met Ava.

Fascinating woman.

My name is Pieter Van de Bruin.

Yes, I know who you are.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

Isaac was a wonderful man.

We will all suffer his absence.

I did not know you knew my father.

The diamond business is a small, intimate circle.

Your father and I worked together...

Cameron, when was that?

Early '80s...

Really?

That far back?

So this is how I know that's bullshit, because my father... my father would never do business with a man who deals in blood diamonds.

My, oh, my.

That is quite an accusation.

Just like you said, the diamond business is a small one, and reputations spread fast and far.

Cam: Mind your manners.

Pieter's traveled a long way to come and pay his respects.

Cameron, please.

The young man's just lost his father.

I'm sorry that we had to meet under such unfortunate circumstances, and again, my most sincere condolences.

Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me...

What the hell is he doing here, Cam?

Did you invite him?

I don't know, are you planning a side business?

Hmm, Cam?

That's a big leap you're making.

I know my father, and I know he would never deal with blood diamonds.

Blood dia... little kids getting their arms chopped off...

You're smearing a man's name, and you don't even know him.

Answer the question.

Well, it's like he said, you know?

He just came to pay his respects... and to talk to me.

[sneers]

Cam: All right. Relax.

It's nothing underhand here.

You know, he just heard we were having a rough time, and he offered to help.

We don't need his help.

Well, that's not true.

You know, thanks to your little side trip to Vancouver, we have supply problems, and what with the ever-changing payment rate of Lady Rah, we'll soon be bankrupt.

Now, we need help, Jake, and Pieter's the one who stepped forward.

No.

No, all right?

I'm not f*cking doing business with him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I hate to resort to platitudes, Jake...

It's not going to f*cking happen, Cam.

This ain't the time to look a gift horse in the mouth.

It just ain't the time.

Now all I'm asking is you keep an open mind.

Ask all you want.

My mind is made up.

[door opens, closes]

[chatter]

Freddy: I went up to the bedroom, and that girl, the one I thought was my girlfriend, was making out with some boy...

I don't remember his name... and I talked to my dad about it, and that was the thing... every time you talked to my father, he'd have... and so what he said was, "Just because a girl says that she likes you, doesn't mean that she likes you. You know, you're going to get..."

He said, "You're going to get your heart broken, babe."

I was like, "f*ck, Pop, thanks for that."

You know, he would say things like, "One day, you're going to meet someone, and it's going to change... it's going to change everything, right?"

Like, a woman. Uh...

Jake: Surprised you showed.

What'd you expect?

Sorry for your loss, man.

Pop was a hell of a man.

You remember that time he chased those guys out of the store with a crowbar?

Yeah.

He was there for me when my mom passed... took me for my first pastrami and rye.

Jake, he changed my life, man.

Hard to imagine life without him.

Yeah.

Give me a sec, man. Come here.

Jake, I know you're not involved in this other thing, right?

If you are, Freddy had to drag you into it.

Carlos... you said this wasn't about business.

It's not about business.

I'm talking to you as a friend.

sh*t is piling up on Freddy, and it is going to bury him.

You've got nothing on Freddy, 'cause he didn't f*cking do anything.

I got Avi's watch from your buddy, Alexi.

He's sitting in his cell right now, and you know Alexi.

He ain't keeping no secrets.

Alexi's a f*cking thug, and nobody's going to buy a word he says.

Maybe... but I am getting a search warrant for the Baker's oven.

I am going to sift through every bit of ash, every bone fragment, every g*dd*mn thing he's ever b*rned in there, and I am going to find Avi's DNA in there, and if you think that the Baker isn't going to give up your brother in a heartbeat, you'd better think again, man, because there ain't no way in hell he's going to take the rap for a m*rder he didn't commit.

Jake, listen to me.

You've got to stop protecting Freddy.

The way this is playing out right now, he's going down.

So do you. So does Cam.

Don't they say, "no body, no case"?

Jake, you're not f*cking listening to me.

I already know that Cam tried to buy the watch back from Alexi.

So you tell me why would he do that, why, unless you and Cam were complicit on the m*rder?

Look, I've turned a blind eye to a lot of sh*t you've done over the years, man, but this is not paying off a customs agent.

It's not letting Freddy walk away from a drug bust.

Jake, this is m*rder.

Freddy: Brother...

What the f*ck is going on here?

Jake: Freddy, don't.

What are you doing here?

Carlos: I'm here to pay respects.

Back up, Freddy.

Back up?

The f*ck are you doing here?

On the day of my father's Shiva!

This is not what I wanted, Jake.

Real classy, dude.

Think about what I said, Jake.

It's not just him. It's all three of you.

Thanks for coming by.

What the f*ck are you doing?

assh*le... what?

I had everything under control.

You did?

Because it didn't seem like you had it under control at all.

God, you're a f*cking idiot.

He was about to tell me everything he had on us, then you get in his face?

Hey! Hey! Baby brother!

You f*cking idiot.

Just relax, 'kay?

Don't worry about it, baby brother.

No one's going to find out about our little trip to The Baker, okay?

You're good.

Wow.

You know what? f*ck it.

Tell everyone what you did, 'cause I'm so f*cking sick and tired of running interference for you.

Yeah? You're so good at it, Jakey.

Why stop now?

I'm done, Freddy. I'm f*cking done.

It's all I ever do, is take care of you.

Oh, that's not true. No, no.

Yeah.

All you ever do is f*cking leave!

Jake: Excuse me?

I leave?

Ha, okay.

f*ck you.

What, you don't remember?

After high school?

You think the family just took care of itself?

I took care of it!

I sacrificed everything so you could go off and you could do whatever it is you did.

You think you know Pop?

You don't know half of it, the sh*t that I had to cover up.

The women... Uncle Cam...

So it's my fault that you're a f*cking drunk?

A f*cking cokehead? A f*cking loser?

What would you do if you wasted your 20s?

You're cleaning up sh*t, holding everything together, and then your golden boy brother comes back with this beautiful wife and his baby daughter, and he wants to pick up some of the slack?

I tell you what you do. You make up for lost time.

You make up for lost time!

Tell yourself whatever the f*ck you want, but the sh*t you've put our f*cking family through the past 10 years... you put our f*cking dad in the hospital.

Freddy: You know what...

Jake: f*cking prick.

It doesn't matter, 'cause you haven't changed.

You still only look out for number one, right?

I mean, look at your... your poser motorcycle, and your thousand-dollar suits, and your douchebag loft.

[laughs] I mean, just look at... look at your f*cked-up marriage.

Whoa, what is going on?

This is not the time or the place.

Freddy: No, listen to me.

You know what I would do to have a beautiful family that you have, with beautiful Ava and Willow?

Don't f*cking touch her.

But you don't give a sh*t about them, 'cause you only care about yourself!

Ava, back up.

Freddy: They're not enough for you.

You only care about yourself, and that's why you worked so hard to cover up my little accident... 'cause you knew it was you I was defending in that motel room.

Don't.

I wonder what Dad would say if he knew about your history with Lady Rah.

Ava: Jake!

You need to shut the f*ck up.

f*cking...

Ava: Jake!

[chuckles]

[grunting]

Willow: Stop it! Dad!

Dad, stop!

Please, stop!

Ava: Jake!

Goddamnit, stop it!

Cut it out!

[crashing, glass breaking]

Ava: Freddy! Freddy, stop!

This sh*t ends now! Now!

You want to go a f*cking round with me?

Huh? I'll put you in the f*cking ground.

Stop it!

Shameful!

Shameful.

Will... honey...

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I wish I knew what to say to make it better.

Brothers...

Suck.

You got that right.

I need to talk to your Dad.

I'll be right back.

Do you have any idea what you just put your daughter through?

Don't. Just...

Don't what, Jake?

Don't hold you accountable for what you're doing?

You expect me to be sympathetic about that bullshit with your brother?

I'm sorry.

I f*cked up.

You're right. I f*cked up.

You talk about getting the family back together, but the truth is, every choice you make has nothing to do with me and Willow.

It's just about you.

That's just not f*cking true.

Yes, it is.

Green & Green and your family are your father's legacy, and you're destroying them both.

You don't know what I've done for my f*cking family.

I...

You know what, Ava?

I did something...

I c... I did something...

See?

You'll never let me in.

I gave your father my word that I would keep the company together, and I am not going to break that promise, but this thing that we're doing... seeing each other, it's just...

I'm not doing it anymore.

Hi.

You got a great left hook, kid.

[laughs]

Hey.

Here.

Let's hope there's no teary-eyed dames who's in distress on the way home.

[laughs]

I'm running short of f*cking hankies.

Jake was right.

All this sh*t, everything that's happened... it's on me.

[sniffles]

I'm tearing this company apart.

I'm destroying this family.

No, you ain't.

No offense, Freddy, but, uh... it's going to take something a little bit bigger than you to bring down this family.

I'm not to blame for Avi, for Lady Rah?

Ah, now, I didn't say you weren't to blame for that.

[chuckles]

Carlos was here.

He was talking to Jake. He seemed pretty angry.

That's what started this whole thing.

Yeah, well, I figured that much.

Listen, Freddy, I need you to be honest with me.

Did you hear Jake say anything to Carlos that might incriminate us?

I don't know, but I don't think so.

I just got so angry, you know.

I went and I... I kicked him out.

Well, that was a dumb sh*t move.

I know.

It don't matter, you know.

I've got this idea of how I can take care of Carlos and any other obstacle... but I need to know that you're with me.

I don't know where Jake stands... so I'm depending on you.

You know I'm with you, Cam.

Whatever you need.



[door shuts]

Watch him.

Okay.

Nice to see you, Trenton.

Trenton: You too.

Good to see you, Pieter.

It's been a while.

How nice of you to say so.

Would you like to see a photograph of your daughter?

Palesa is like a very beautiful little lady.

A bit on the shy side...

Unlike her mother.

Is she happy?

Of course.

She's in the best boarding school in the world, at the top of her class.

She's speaking French.

I assure you, she has everything a little girl could wish for.

I want to see her.

And so you shall... as soon as our business is completed... but we have some other "business" to resolve.

You lost $20 million worth of my diamonds.

I am painfully aware of what happened, Pieter.

Femi was a mistake, and I take full responsibility for it.

Femi.

[snorts] What a charming name.

Femi.

Femi was your employee, and as such, you are responsible for his loss.

I lose something, you lose something.

[Trenton grunts]

Slowly... slowly... slowly.

[Trenton gasps, chokes]

That was quick.

If you make another mistake... what we will do to your daughter will be so much slower than that.
