THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
I wasn’t even here. Jason uses this place as his office. Diane, I don’t — I don’t know what happened tonight, but I can tell you this — I had nothing to do with it. I wasn’t even here. Jason uses this place as his office. Maybe you should ask him the same question. Well, jason was here tonight when two armed men broke in and started shooting at him, one of whom ended up very dead. Now, look, sonny, if you want me to represent you to the very best of my ability, you have to tell me everything I need to know — before those cops take you into custody. Sit down. Sit. Come on. I’ve told you all I know. Do you have a death wish? No. Really? ‘Cause that’s not what it looks like. You just came within an inch of being killed tonight, and you’re still protecting sonny. I am not! You and I both know that he threatened to kill you the other day. How many bullets are you gonna take for him? No, really. I-I get loyalty. I understand it. But I thought you were smarter than this. You’re looking out for sonny, and he is off sending people to kill you! When does it end?! And how much blood will we shed before it does?! You know, I’m meeting a very interesting side to you. You’ve got issues, jack, and I’m not just talking about the stitches in your stomach from your freshly self-inflicted stab wound.
[ Chuckles ] I think you need to relax. I think you need to learn how to delegate, trust other people. You know, you’re forgetting how you got where you are and the people that helped you do it. Took you a long time to get to the top, val. But it’ll only take you, oh, seconds to fall all the way back down. Are we threatening each other?
[ Laughs ] I’m gonna assume those are the painkillers talking. So you heal up and let me take care of everything. You know, we don’t even know what jason told agent cates about pikeman’s overseas operations. Assuming he knows anything. He may not. “May not”? You want to put our entire operation at risk over “may not”? Jason morgan was smart enough to infiltrate pikeman without getting caught. If he puts the pieces together… okay. Calm down. Will you calm down? Once jason morgan figures things out, assuming he does, sonny will have already taken him off the chessboard and saved us both the trouble.
I don’t know how long my guard will be occupied. I need to get back to my room before he does. Okay, but… can we get one thing straight? Once sonny eliminates jason, I will get word to you in pentonville. Until then, we are not to talk to one another. So what am i supposed to do? Stab myself again the next time I want some fresh air? Jack, you’re an enterprising fellow. Find something to do. Join a book club, make a friend. God. You’ll be fine! You’ve been stalling for months. And when the hell are you gonna get the charges against me dropped?! Okay. Okay. I hear you. I hear you. I just need a little bit more patience, my friend. Because if we shine light on the wsb/pikeman connection, it’s gonna backfire. It’s all gonna blow up in our face. So stay strong. Be patient. I’ve got everything under control. Okay, so, obviously, you know what’s going on between my dad and me. Yeah. Can we sit? Jason called me right after he broke up the fight. He told me that you saw sonny attack dex and then threaten to kill him. Yeah, so then you also know that everything josslyn ever said about my dad is true. And I am so stupid for even arguing with her because she was right all along. Okay. I love my daughter more than anything, but josslyn has her own issues with sonny. It doesn’t even matter what josslyn said. I know what I saw — and i keep seeing it over and over and over again. Watching my dad be so violent and just out of control. That must have been so awful for you. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. Especially now. Well, I think it’s something that all of sonny’s kids have to go through eventually, right? I mean, you know that more than anyone with michael. I’m just the idiot that took so long to finally see the truth. Kristina, you’re not an idiot. No, I’m not anymore. Because now my eyes are wide open. And whether dex files charges against my father or not, I will never forget what I saw my dad do. So now I’m just ashamed I… I didn’t admit what I saw right in front of me sooner. That’s because you wanted to see the best in sonny. That’s because you love your dad. You loved him, too, once. Do you think you ever really knew him? It sounds like you don’t approve of your daughter’s relationship with kristina. You — you could say that. I don’t want to pry, but… is it because they’re gay? No, I’m not a prude. Whatever people do behind closed doors, that’s — that’s their own business. I just feel like… gay people — or whatever alphabet soup they’re calling themselves these days — they’re just — they’re flighty. They’re just not very serious about life. I don’t think that’s true at all. Well, you just said so yourself that kristina has had a lot of problems, made bad decisions. Well, years ago when she was younger. You can say the same thing about a lot of straight people, too. Hm. Kristina’s really gotten herself together. She works hard. She’s very serious about her baby. Okay, but, see, that choice of words is very interesting because it’s not really her baby, now, is it? Well, n-not in the way that you’re talking about, no. Right. So she’s gonna be pregnant for nine months, give birth, and then just hand the baby over. You see, to me, it just seems like kristina and alison just think, “oh, wouldn’t it be so fun to have a baby? As long as we don’t have to do any of the hard work or be serious about it.” Y-you know, like, what are they gonna do? They’re gonna visit the child every once in a while or — I don’t know — take it to an amusement park sometimes? I — I’m so sorry if this offends you, but I think that is just a very unfortunate way to look at this beautiful thing that kristina is doing for her sister. Okay, well, you, you know — entitled to your opinion, as am I. I-I do try to stay open-minded. It’s just that if my way of thinking is considered, um, old-fashioned, then, you know, so be it. I know how deep your loyalty to sonny goes. I do. I used to look at him through rose-colored glasses myself at one point. But what if the person you used to know no longer exists? Or, worse, it was an illusion all along… and sonny never really was the man you believed him to be?
[ Door opens ] Yes. Forensics thought you’d want to see what they found on the assailant, commissioner. Thank you. Thank you. Looks like a burner phone. Yeah, it’s very useful to report back to whoever it was ordered you to make the kill.
Uh, you know, I shouldprobably get going, really. Yeah. Yeah, will you do me a favor, and make sure that sonny gets my gift? Yeah. Of course. Let me walk you out. Thank you. Okay. Well, I, um — I enjoyed our chat. We should do it again sometime. Mm-hmm! Perhaps.
[ Sighs heavily ]
[ Beeping ] Natalia: I just feel like… gay people — or whatever alphabet soup they’re calling themselves these days — they’re just — they’re flighty. They’re just not very serious about life.
I married a complicated man . And I knew that going in . And without making excuses for sonny, he was capable of many things. Great love. Great anger. I watched sonny have incredible highs and amazing lows, but he was never downright cruel and he always had a reason for doing what he did. And he never hurt someone just because he could. But do you think that he’s the same man now, or do you think that he’s changed? That’s hard to answer because we’re not as close as we used to be, so I don’t know. But what I do know is the bond that you have with him. Your father loves you more than anything. He brags about you all the time. I mean, he would give up his life for you. So you have to decide… how much that matters and where it fits in to the relationship you have with sonny, along with all the…stuff you’ve learned about him recently. But what if it doesn’t fit at all? Then you’re gonna have to really think about… can you live your life without your dad? I’ve been trying to figure out what those guys wanted, but nothing makes any sense. I mean, we’re a coffee warehouse. It’s not like, you know, we have product here that anybody wants to steal. We don’t keep a large amount of cash here. We do have small bills for cash expenses. But there they are. Everything’s right there. You see that, diane? Okay. Alright. So it wasn’t about the money. No. They must have had some other target in mind. Whatever they wanted, they didn’t get it. And… jason made them pay for breaking in. So why is it my problem? Miss me? Only one number in the call history. I’d really like to know who it belongs to you.
[ Line ringing ] Valentin: Is it done? Just tell me if it’s been done.
