Hello, dearie.

Just popping in to see the good doctor.

(SIGHS) Dr. Harvard.

Nurse Mayflower herself.

I'm just here with some early ho, ho, ho.

Uh, Miss Mayflower, uh, now is not the best...

The macaroon, you said.

Now, I thought it was a French cookie,

- but not so, it turns out.
- Ah...

Italian, in origin.

Born, like all divinities, from the monastery.

Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry.

I did try my hand at pistachio, but the color alone was a wave off.

(CHUCKLES) Miss Mayflower, this is...

As I expressed in your interview... hardly necessary.

Not to mention I've just consumed a large lunch.

Oh, come now. You have to try one.

We are but human, after all, prone to the whim and allure of such sugary delights.

And besides, these delicate creatures, they're meant for the most refined palates, such as your own.

So, it really would be an honor.

(SIGHS)

ORAETTA: Mmm.

Oh, vanilla. My favorite.

- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
- (SNIFFS)

And if it's not the best macaroon you ever ate,

I'll hang up my apron.

Mmm. (SMACKS LIPS)

Mmm. Extraordinary.

"O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord?"

- Don't get ideas.

It's a fortress. I checked.

Loy Cannon, numbers runner out of New York.

Loan shark, racketeering.

He picks our suspects up in his car a few days back, takes them someplace.

Here, maybe.

I thought about pulling a warrant, but... a birdie told me he owns some metro cops.

No secrets in the Kansas City PD.

But you know all that.

Yeah.

Sure, I heard of him.

That's like Jonah saying he heard there's a big fish out there somewhere.

See...

I was thinking my females would take to the lam.

Turns out they're instead getting back to work.

What do you say, cowboy?

Want to go in, g*ns blazing, take 'em down together?

(SHARP EXHALE) I, uh... I...

Eh, relax.

They'd chew us up for sure.

And yet...

Are you familiar with the blood atonement?

"And now, behold, I speak unto the Church.

"Thou shalt not k*ll,

"and he that kills shall not have forgiveness in this world,

"nor in the world to come.

"And again, I say, thou shalt not k*ll, but he that killeth shall die."

(STAMMERS)

I ain't heard that one, no.

He talked about you, too. Little birdie.

Said you fill your pockets, just like the rest of 'em, and fly your crooked line.

Is that true?

What'd you say to me?

No. That's my trick.

You heard me just fine.

See, I can't help but think you've been yanking my chain for weeks now

'cause your bread is buttered on the other side.

You know what you are?
You're a f*cking curse.

- Language.
- You listen to me, slick.

If I knew where your Mormon God was, I'd drive through the night and I'd s*ab him in the f*cking eyes.

We're done.

If that's the way you want to go.

But careful how many sides you play, Palomino.

Even a gold coin's only got two faces.

Get out.

So remember how last week we talked about how syntax

is a set of rules that teaches us how to make a sentence...

Subject, verb, object.

Can I help you?

Good afternoon.

There's a guard, usually. On the porch.

But not today.

How many kids in the house?

Get out of here.

Answer the question.

How about I got a question for you.

- For me?
- Yeah.

You ever go to the zoo?

(LAUGHS)

- Sometime.
- Hmm.

You see the mama lion and her cubs?

You think she's in that cage for her protection?

To be fair, it's what we call a rhetorical question.

Now get the f*ck out of here.

Be careful with that.

First, we recognize things have gotten out of hand.

Our two families.

We recognize this and, uh, we apologize.

You apologize?

Doctor Senator...

Don't... say his name.

He was a friend of mine.

His death should not have happened.

But Gaetano Fadda is the son of Donatello Fadda, chosen by New York.

His death is not allowed.

Not allowed?

I'm simply telling you how it is.

There are people you can k*ll.

People you can't.

Ah, well...

No.

I'm just saying, he's more animal than people.

Hey. He's your brother.

Cain was Abel's brother.

Mr. Cannon.

We are prepared to offer you a trade.

In exchange for the return of Gaetano Fadda, we will give you full control of the slaughterhouses on the east side and the trucking routes to Cleveland and Dallas.

Maybe I k*lled him already.

Your brother.

EBAL: No.

If you k*lled him, we wouldn't be here.

What then?

What happens to the brother?

You let him go, he's on the next plane to Italy.

My hand to God.

It's what New York wants.

Eh...

Again, being honest,

New York doesn't really know you've got him.

So... also, you didn't tell him the other part.

The...

The other part.

I'm not gonna lie, brother.

It's been hard since Dad d*ed.

I've been grieving and, Gaetano, he took advantage.

Made some choices.

The death of your man.

The sh*t at Samuel.

LOY: Lemuel.

Right, from the Bible.

But he wasn't alone, my brother, he... he had rats helping him.

Some... Paolo... You k*lled already.

But this other guy... this other guy did something.

What do you mean?

Now, he's my guy, so normally I'd say this is for me to deal with.

But what he did...

The thing he did... it's... it's a sin.

A horror.

Boss.

JOSTO: He k*lled your son.

He-he-he knew we were gonna make a trade for Gaetano.

He lost his mind.

Satchel is dead.

We're here. We didn't have to come.

News like this, emotional news...

But we respect you.

We grieve with you. Hmm?

It never should have happened.

Never.

And I know the rules. A life for a life.

A-And you took my sweet little Zero into your home and-and treated him fair.

And I know we made a deal.

And you can k*ll him.

But I'm asking you.

I'm begging you.

k*ll Gaetano instead.

A life for a life.

Show me.

The body.

I want to see the body.

I don't know where it is.
He took him somewhere.

Who took him?

Calamita.

He heard about the trade, he-he went nuts.

Wait.
