What's going on with you two?
She's a part of things now.
- Congratulations! - [applause]
[Harris] Aren't you scared? 'Cause I'm scared shitless.
I think I'd feel better if you weren't alone tonight.
[Walker] Please don't do this. You don't have to do this.
You're as lovely as they come.
When Russell tells me someone's special, I do my homework.
[Grace] I went into business with Landwill and so far, so good.
I don't want chickens with three heads.
It's not gonna happen.
It's not just the water they poison, it's every person they touch.
Remember the water test you insisted my clients were fabricating?
[Rinna] It proves their water was clean before Landwill drilled.
And now I get to call Dale Evans and tell him Landwill's gonna have to settle.
[Billy]Lee...
Hi, Billy.
It's really good to see you.
- [doorbell rings] - Is it okay that I came?
Come here!
So, how's it going with him?
Billy, uh... he's not himself lately.
- [taps on glass] - I'm joining the Army. Hooah!
[electric zapping]
[Billy] Be all you can be.
What about you, Dad? You never signed up for a fucking thing, did you?!
[breathing rapidly]
I present to you one Aaron Daniel Fuchs.

- [woman gasps] - [Billy] Dad?
Fuck! Billy, what the fuck, man?!
- You were supposed to pick me up. - Who's that midget?
It's not a midget, it's my kid.
I had to walk.
You don't say "midget" nowadays, all right. Don't be offensive.
Billy, come on, man, you gotta go.
What? What? You got something to say?
I got the MVP.

[Aaron grunting]
Finish him off, you'll feel better.
[Aaron breathing faster]
[Aaron] Mm-mm!
Listen to me son, I know I failed you.
But I made a lot of mistakes in my life, from the day I was born.
Especially since the day you were born.
But I found this son of a bitch.
And I want you to think about what he did to you.
That man right there, does not deserve your pity.
He deserves action.
It's your moment, son. Take it.
[Aaron muffled sobbing]
[muffled protests]
[muffled] Help me! Help me!
[muffled pleading]
Help me! Help me!
[muffled grunt, screams]
[muffled gasping]
[Harris] How'd you sleep?
Hm, well, your bed sorta sucks.
Sorry it's not up to your standards.
My mattress standards are actually pretty low.
It's not like I have one of those beds made of horse hair
that costs almost ten grand. Imagine spending ten grand on a bed?!
That's how you know you've made it. Or you know you're batshit insane.
Well, if it makes you feel better, I slept like shit too.
I had a nightmare I don't remember.
I used to keep a dream journal.
Then my first boyfriend read it and dumped me. So, I stopped.
He dumped you 'cause of a journal?
Guess I'm a bad writer.
[chuckles] I'll drop you by your place so you can change.
What are you trying to say, you don't like what I'm wearing?
[upbeat music]
[kisses]
[Harris] It just doesn't feel right.
Why confess and then kill yourself? What changed?
It's a fair question, Chief.
Maybe it wasn't suicide, maybe it's something we should look into.
I'm not wasting taxpayer dollars on this. It's done.
That's it? We're both telling you something feels off...
Sorry, let me rephrase: It's done.
What do you think happened?
Not sure. Maybe somebody got to her inside.
- Her confession was so... - Weird.
Staged. And now this.
I'm gonna go get a coffee. Want one?
Nah. Hey. Ask Cynthia to check the CCTV footage again.
For what?
[Harris] Anything. Something we missed.
[siren in distance]
Okay.
Hey. Got a minute?
[door slams]
Sit down. Close the door.
It's happening tomorrow night.
[Lucy] We have a problem.
Drew and I appreciate everything you've done for us.
But I was talking to our friends Kerry and Paul and they're having trouble, so...
I thought it would be good for us to get together and chat.
Sure. Chat away.
We've got nothing against you, Grace.
[Grace] But...
[Paul] The construction from Landwill is nuts.
They start at six in the morning and go 'til it's dark.
Thirteen, fourteen hours...
Well, that's not forever. It's just until they finish the well.
[Kerry] And the trucks. Tell her about the trucks, Paul.
The trucks are big. Real big, and they keep coming.
Truck after truck. Some park on our lawn.
Tell her about our dog, Paul.
[Paul] We have a dog...
[Kerry] Had a dog.
[Paul] Murray. Sweet old guy. Gentle.
Gentle like an angel.
Two days ago he got out of the yard...
Our dog is dead, Grace. Dead! A Landwill truck ran him over.
I'm so sorry.
Our friend Ryah, who signed up with you, she's getting nosebleeds, a lot.
Never got 'em in her whole life. We think it's from the water.
What?
Drew and I are pro this stuff, you know that, but... hearing this...
Look, Landwill is a good company and I'm sure we can figure something out
about the construction hours.
And our dog?
- Like I said, I'm really sorry... - You're sorry? Get a life!
My friend has blood gushing out of her nose!
Why didn't you tell us it would be so loud and take so long?
It's all part of a process.
You didn't live on your property once you leased it.
You cashed out and you moved here. But we don't have that luxury.
I understand.
Do you? You've got it pretty nice here. I see an exercise bike.
- Kerry, calm down. - I'd love an exercise bike.
Know what I have to do? Walk. Past my dead fuckin' dog.
Look, you are in this set up phase. Once that's done, they can drill
and move on, and you will get paid real money.
And I'll call Landwill and see if we can figure this out.
[whistle blows]
Uhn! Let's go!
- [claps] - [exhales]
[whistle blows]
[applause]
Good job, nice job.
Told you.
S'up, bro.
[panting]
[phone ringing]
[Russell's voice mail] Leave a message and I'll call you back.
- [beeps] - Russell, it's Grace Poe.
Can you give me a call? It, it's, uh, important.
Okay, here's what I've got. Round nine, tomorrow night.
Calls are gonna come in over police radio that shots have been fired
at a downtown warehouse. 1601 Liberty.
Fisher wants us nearby so we can be first on scene.
Then what?
I'll get the rest on site.
Which means we have no idea what we're walking into.
Also means, they don't fully trust me. Anything can happen.
We'll have the area secured. Agents around the perimeter,
ready to bust in before anything goes down.
Not sure that's good enough.
Meaning?
Safe bet? At least one other Brother will be there.
Based on what Fisher told me, I'm guessing it'll be Orr.
We can flip him. But if there's something else,
something I'm not expecting...
I hate to say this...
Del, don't.
- I signed up for this... - Del...
I'm willing to gamble my life on it, but I'm not willing to gamble yours.
Don't say my name, Del.
Look, I know you want to help, I get it, but...
we're gonna find another way.
Are you fucking kidding me right now?!
I tailed you, found you with Walker's body.
You are only here because of my fucking benevolence.
Because I didn't blow up this whole operation.
I don't need your protection. And I sure as fuck don't need your permission.
Got it?
- [Nate] Gentle, gentle... - [Isaac] Shut up.
[Billy clears throat]
Whoa! What'd you do with my roommate?
Lee, let's go.
Billy, you look hot. I mean, I'd fuck you.
Not like against your will, but if you wanted to...
Much appreciated.
- [Isaac] Ooh, okay! - [Nate wolf calls]
Lee... wow...
Where you goin'?
I actually don't know.
It's a surprise. We're celebrating.
- Yes you are! - [snapping]
What's that? What are you doing?
It's like gay snapping. It's a drag thing.
You do drag?
Not on purpose.
How do you accidentally do drag?
- I don't know, sometimes, it just happens. - [chuckles]
Shall we?
This place is... nice, right?
Don't even need A.1. sauce. That's how you know it's good.
You ever wonder what other couples talk about at dinner?
I'm sure the same stuff we do.
Like them?
[indistinct chatter]
They're arguing, right?
[Lee] I guess.
He's like, I can't believe you made me order salmon.
And she's like, well, you have high cholesterol, Arnold.
Arnold?
You need fish for your omega threes. And he's like, fuck omega threes.
All right, stop acting like my mother. And she's like, well, someone has to.
And he's like, this is why I never want to fuck you.
[laughing] Ssh.
I know things have been, um, off with us.
The other night you said that I was erratic
and that I don't know who I am. And...
Billy, it's okay...
No, let me finish. I shouldn't have gotten wasted.
And I understand why you said that.
But I do know who I am.
Finally. I didn't for a long time.
Some of that had to do with you, but a lot had to do with me
and what I thought I deserved. And then, everything in prison...
it got to me.
But... I'm on the other side now.
I passed my physical.
I'm going to basic training.
You did? When do you...
[Billy] Right away, pretty much.
It'll be like college for me, you know. I never had that.
I'm gonna train and learn a skill.
An actual skill to help me land a job once I'm done.
I'll be a mechanic, or a welder, or whatever.
And make some money for us.
You seem different.
I'm purged.
My demons are gone.
What demons?
I couldn't let it go, what happened to me.
But now I can.
I don't think it's that easy.
When you take charge and stop playing the victim, it is.
[Lee] What does that mean?
You don't have to worry about me anymore, okay? That's all.
It's up to you whether you'll be there when I'm done.
We can have a fresh start. Totally fresh.
Whatever you did in the past, whatever I did...
we can forget it, like it never happened.
Billy, I don't...
We don't have to stay in Buell, either. Okay, I'll go wherever you want to be.
We can really do it.
[waitress] How is everything?
Good. Very good.
You spend all your time preaching about waiting for love.
Well, here it is, right in front of you. Yet, you're gonna turn your back on it.
So, I guess we're just fucked.
I'll move on. But you...
I remember watching this when I was 12. I was obsessed.
I wanted to fuck Ryan Phillippe and be Sarah Michelle Gellar.
And then I thought, oh, wow...
- I'm gay! - [laughs]
I think I was 14 the first time I saw it.
Get it together, you pussy.
Iconic.
Get it together, you pussy.
[bang on door]
- Don't move. - [groans]
Uh, you need to adjust yourself. I suggest utilizing the waistband.
Yeah. [grunts]
[Russell] Hi.
Now, it's your turn.
Uh... what are you doing here?
[Russell] I'm back for work.
But also, um...
I don't like how things ended with us.
Can I come in?
[sighs] Yeah.
So, how have you, uh, how've you been?
Oh...
Gonna introduce me to your friend?
Nate, this is, uh, Russell. Russell, this is Isaac... Nate.
This is Nate and Russell and...
me. Uh, we're all here.
I'm interrupting.
I'll be in town the next few days if you wanna grab coffee?
Nice to meet you, Nate.
Yeah. [sniffs]
Okay.
[Nate] Who was that?
A guy. He's, uh...
A guy?
He's a friend, but like... not really.
Does that make sense?
No, it doesn't.
[Walker] This plan of yours, you think it'll work?
It better.
[Walker] Then you have no problem fucking over your brothers.
They're not my brothers.
I knew something wasn't right about you coming back.
I could smell it.
But I trusted you.
We all want the same thing.
No.
No, we don't.
You see what I wanted to do and it's the same thing you want.
Stop the bad guys, fix the system.
I hate to break it to you, Vic, but you're one of the bad guys.
Bullshit! I devoted my life to the force!
Put dealers behind bars, murderers behind bars!
Cleaned up the street as much as I could, but there was more I could do.
More I wanted to do! I thought you were on my side.
I thought you were my friend.
My friend.
You had me out there to hunt.
Dinner with Grace.
Hell, you gave me the fucking venison.
I did do that, but I was never your friend.
You're violent toward people don't deserve it.
People you love.
I was using you.
You think I deserved to die?
[Harris] Yeah. I do.
Well, fuck.
You have no idea what you're walking into! None!
You think you're so much smarter than Fisher. I thought that too.
And look at me.
[lighter flicks]
There fluid in this?
[lighter flicking]
Fuck!
[gunshot]
[phone ringing]
[gasping]
[phone stops ringing]
[officer] Okay. What time?
[officer #2] I will ask. I will certain...
'Morning, Steve. Close the door.
Sit.
Thanks for coming in.
Agent Garn here, is from the FBI. Tells me they're looking to account for
a decommissioned flak jacket from your department.
Is this about Del Harris?
What happened to the jacket?
Harris took it.
I'm confused. Did Del Harris come to you, tell you I took the jacket?
What makes you say that?
I just...
He took it, Del. You should be talking to him.
Based on what evidence?
Well, you want me to stay out of West Virginia...
When I said "based on what evidence," my tone meant to imply
that you don't have any evidence linking Del to West Virginia.
You have theories. Anybody can have a theory.
Here's one: Steve Park took a flak jacket from his own department,
and an unregistered gun, and drove out to a cabin in the woods
where he shot up a church-going old lady...
I had nothing to do with that. Nothing.
And this is so clearly obviously Del Harris who took...
There's a murderer on the streets. And you still haven't found him.
And now the FBI is investigating your department.
How bad at this job are you?
- How do you even know about the jacket? - Excuse me?
Are you investigating the West Virginia case? I have info...
[Gossage] We're done here, Steve. Step off the Herlitz case.
Pass it on to someone competent so people in this town can sleep at night.
You can go.
[Russell's voice mail] Leave a message and I'll call you back.
Russell, it's Grace Poe. I really, really need to talk to you.
So, can you please give me a call.
Is he your boyfriend?
Definitely not. Well, we did have a thing.
Is that thing still happening?
No.
Do you want it to be?
He has a wife.
You deserve better than that.
I know.
Do you?
I like you. A lot.
I want you to stay. Let's figure this out.
[Receptionist] Hi, how can I help you?
Hi. I need to speak with Russell Wolff.
- Um... - He works directly with Dale Evans.
Okay, Russell Wolff doesn't operate out of this building. I can take a message.
I've already left him half a dozen messages.
I'm up to my tits in messages today, so, I need to speak with him.
My name is Grace Poe. It's P-O-E. Poe.
How can I help you?
Um, can you connect me with Dale Evans?
Just give him a call. My name is Grace Poe, he knows me.
If there's a problem on your property, I'm happy to help.
It's not... Um, I work here. With Russell Wolff.
You work at Landwill?
In Buell. Yeah, and I'm trying to solve a problem.
Trying to solve a bunch of problems, and I can't get a hold of Russell.
So, if you could just, please, put me in touch with Dale Evans...
Sorry, but I've never heard of you.
Are you new?
No.
[clicks tongue] No.
[Kevin sighs] Make sure she finds her way out.
Thirty-two water tests mailed out like fucking report cards!
Where'd they come from? And don't tell me Nell McKenna.
She did the tests. Turned herself in and now she's dead.
Seems like her parting gift.
Some of the tests. Nell McKenna did some of the tests.
Some of these came for other labs, different counties.
Which means, either Nell found these people that I pay you to make unfindable,
or someone with access to our files is responsible for the leak.
Someone like you.
Me?! You can't be serious!
Or one of your partners! I don't know.
Dale, look, I am on your team, you know that.
Thirty-two water tests means 32 settlements.
Major fuckup. And that's if we can get them to settle.
And if we can do it fast enough to keep this quiet.
But my bigger concern is there's still somebody out there, or in here,
with more information, planning more damage.
And you need to make sure that doesn't happen.
Get to work.
They acted like I was important.
You are important.
Like they needed me.
And then, I come to Pittsburgh and they don't even know my name.
Fucking corporations, motherfuckers.
Could I get a cup of coffee, black?
What's on your mind?
It's all happening tonight.
Brotherhood.
- You sure? - Yeah.
I'm worried about Angela. She could get hurt.
It's one thing if I die...
No-no-no, if there's a choice between her and you, you choose you.
That's the end of the story.
Harris, what the fuck?!
What are you doing here?
Are you getting the FBI on my ass?
How'd you know I was here?
Answer my question. Did you go to the FBI about me?
I have no idea what you're fucking talking about.
You drove all the way to Pittsburgh to ask me that?
I was ambushed by an FBI agent and the new DA.
- Want to know what they asked about? - Not really.
The missing flak jacket from our station. If there's one thing I know,
you never ask questions you don't already know the answers to,
which means, they know about the jacket. And my guess, they have it.
Which also means you're trying to pin West Virginia on me.
- Steve... - I will not go down
for what you did. What both of you did.
Looks like you made your bed.
You put Steve Park out of your mind for now. Okay?
Call me as soon as it's over.
[phone buzzes]
Unexpected visit from Steve followed by an unexpected visit from you.
Consider it a warning.
Hey, I came to you!
No cold feet, Harris. Otherwise, that duffle we promised you
could easily make it into Steve Park's hands instead.
And we think we know what he'll do with it.
Hey...
Lee, hi.
I'm heading out. Just wanted to remind you I'll be away tomorrow.
Right, New York.
The next time you see me I'll be an officially divorced woman.
About that...
Open it.
I have the same ones, they're amazing.
I thought you could use a bit of comfort right now.
Thank you. How thoughtful.
Try them on. Make sure they're the right size before you go.
- I'll do it at home. - I insist.
This way, if they don't fit, I'll take them back while you're away.
Um, sure. Okay.
- So? - They're perfect.
Thank you.
I need your help.
Russell? Wait, Russell, hi.
What's with the tool belt?
Are... are you following me?
No. I've been trying to reach you. I've been calling, I've left you messages.
I even went to Pittsburgh, which was really fucking weird
because they don't know who I am. Why is that?
Are you staying here?
Can we just... Can we do this tomorrow? I just got back in town, I'm exhausted.
No, really, look, a bunch of people came to my house upset about Landwill.
There's issues, stuff that shouldn't be happening.
- I think we can fix it but... - We?
Yes, I need your help. If you had just picked up the phone...
Do you know how lucky you are? Don't follow me.
Don't come at me in the fucking street, Grace Poe,
unless you want to go back to being absolutely fucking nobody.
Leave a message, wait for an answer, like a normal person.
Seriously?
Fuck you.
Uh, Mr. Cleveland?
You left these in the desk. Room #22.
Mr. Cleveland?

Have dinner with me tonight?
Angela, you were right, something is going on.
If there's cops in there, where are their cruisers?
