You see this here, Tina?
This shit is gonna put the Pagans on the map in this state.
Here's the main line, I-95.
It's got white lines running up all the way from Florida.
Gator's got his own trucking business?
Among other things.
It was my truck that got jacked,
and it happened on your turf.
We had an agreement. No Outlaws south of Richmond.
Sarah Jane, come on, get in here!
Seems my Cozy has a new best friend.
There's a piece of business the club needs you
to take care of.
We need you to cap a Maggot.
_
It's called The Soldiers Dilemma.
You're given an order you know is wrong,
so now you have a choice.
Do the right thing and risk your own life by refusing,
or carry out the order and reap the rewards
for your loyalty.
Both choices come at a cost.
Just move.
The thing is sometimes when you're undercover
the right thing and the wrong thing get mixed up.
Shut up. I'm only gonna say this once.
Run, Maggot.
In the end, the choice that comes back
to bite you the hardest is the one that goes a step too far.
Nicely done, Chef.
A step that leaves you no way back.
Fill it in.
_
Thought you said you don't hunt?
My dad used to take me target shooting.
I guess it's like riding a bike.
That's a smart man, your dad.
You'll want to teach your own kid some survival skills.
Given what's coming.
Oh, yeah? What's coming?
The world's a house of cards, Charlie,
and we're about one bad day from total collapse.
If I were you, I'd start preparing now.
You really believe that?
You can only run a country on snake oil for so long before it all comes down.
But I'll tell you one thing. Anyone comes for what's mine...
they're gonna regret it.
Guess I'm more of an optimist.
Maybe riding with a biker gang
gives you a false sense of security.
Who told you that?
We're not blind, Charlie.
Look, it's a free country. You can do what you want.
All I'm saying is... when it hits the fan,
parasites like bikers will be the first in the crosshairs
when good people are forced to protect their belongings.
Casey, it's not what you think, man.
Well, whatever it is,
you have got to start putting family first.
Try it again, and double the distance.
See if it's still like riding a bike, huh?
Does Charlie know?
I've been meaning to tell him.
What if he proposes?
He hasn't.
At least, not yet.
Well, why wouldn't he? He's the father.
We don't know what we're doing yet.
What is that supposed to mean?
It means... we want to be sure.
What is there to smile about here?
Sarah Jane?
Sorry, it's just a friend.
An artist, actually.
She wants to see some of my work.
So you're going to art school still?
I already told you, I don't know.
- Hey. - Hey.
How was it out there?
Ah, you put a gun in a man's hand,
you learn all you need to know about him.
How's it going in here?
Oh, lots left to learn.
Hey!
Bullet.
You know why we're here?
Yeah.
Let's talk inside.
Let's see you hit that again first.
You are a man of many talents.
What do you got against trees?
Just a hobby.
My hobby's photography.
Not that digital crap neither.
I like me some real film.
Smell of chemicals, seeing the man I'm gonna kill
appear like magic on a blank piece of paper.
The man you're gonna kill.
Razor.
Local Maggot boss. You've met.
Set the fire in front of your clubhouse.
Is that why you want him dead?
It's not for you to ask, probate.
Man's gonna cap someone,
he deserves to know why.
The Maggots stole something of ours, and this is payback.
I want it done clean.
No witnesses, no trace, no trail back to us.
You do that?
Give you three days.
Bring me proof.
Not just pictures, I want video.
And I want his patch.
Bonus points if it's got his blood on it.
Like I said at Gator's:
do this right, you earn your reward.
I don't have to tell you what happens if you do this wrong. Right?
I take it we're screwed?
Why? Razor's in town.
We find him, we cap him, no big deal.
Oh yeah, man, that's like...
That's, like, totally hilarious.
We're actually capping a guy?
How do we do this?
One step at a time.
First we gotta find him.
If we're full-on breaking the law here,
I need a guarantee.
Guarantee I won't be listening to the next
three things you say.
No, really. Charges-drop style guarantee
and I'm gonna need, like a, you know,
I'm gonna need, like, a... like a cash bonus.
So you're saying we need to buy your silence
about this?
What I'm saying is when I'm done with all this,
I could take said cash bonus to Belize
where there will be no one to tell.
There he is.
Razor, what's up?
I know you?
Sure.
You came by my clubhouse and lit a fire.
Don't move.
We're gonna go for a ride.
You need to understand,
you are in a world of trouble.
Carrying illegal firearms, narcotics.
With your record, that's three to five right here.
We get a warrant, search your place,
what do you think we'll find?
Enough for 10 more?
Add the RICO violations,
we'll get it over 20, no problem.
So... we got lots of options for charging you.
Or we let you go and you'll be dead within a week.
What you have to ask yourself is whether
you prefer a life sentence, a death sentence,
or the option we're going to offer.
Hey.
Uh, what's up with that?
Thought I'd head out and do some drawing.
Oh, yeah? Where are you going?
Guess I'll find out when I get there.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hm.
Alright. Have fun.
I will.
I'll be home when you get back to town.
What are you guys doing this time?
Pretending to be Outlaws.
But if you're talking with Martha and Casey,
- you tell them that we're... - It's just another tree job.
Yep, got it.
Listen, Casey said something to me about being a biker.
I mentioned Florida.
Martha kept asking questions. I'm sorry.
How much did you tell her?
Only that you're in a club.
I never mentioned Outlaws or your real job.
Okay.
What did Casey say?
Doesn't matter.
Hey...
You be careful out there.
You too.
The Great Dismal Swamp.
I mean, who names these places?
It's like one of those, one of those moron names,
you know, like jumbo shrimp, Civil War...
Like, um, you know, like, um...
Like the living dead, right?
Hey, are you gonna talk like a moron the whole trip?
Come on, I'm just trying to cheer up our little snitch here.
Bug, give it a rest, man.
Worse things than taking a deal.
Like what?
Like, hard time. You ever done any?
Egg-sactly.
I mean, who wants to pillow-bite their way through
the next five years, right?
Me, no way, not a chance, I'm taking the deal.
You made the right call, man.
Start over, clean slate.
When I'm done all this I'm going somewhere
the US of Johnny Law...
- Yeah, Belize. - ...ain't never gonna find me.
We all know. No one cares.
No, man, I found some place even better.
Since you're begging to know, I'm going to the Congo.
If you last long enough to get there.
Alright, how long is he gonna make me wait?
'Cause you know what? I could be doin' a crossword.
Crowbar.
Devil.
To what do I owe this interruption
from a Petersburg Pagan?
Came for a sit down.
So are we gonna sit down, or I mean,
if you want, I can stand for this.
Sit right there.
And you tell me what's on your little mind.
First thing is that I do respect
all the heavy lifting that you've been doing
against the Maggots in Petersburg.
Uh-huh, but?
We had an agreement.
You were gonna leave Petersburg to the Pagans.
I can sense an accusation coming on.
Hah!
You go and you open a probate club,
and then all of a sudden all this blow just starts flowing into my bars,
and my dope sales fall right off the cliff.
Cocaine?
Cocaine.
In your cracked and cranked dive?
Where from?
Well, see, that's what I was hoping you could help me with.
Well, I can tell you this...
People on beer budgets,
they can only drink so much champagne.
So I don't see how the fad will last.
Right.
But see, this coke is crazy cheap.
So that makes me think that somebody's trying to
run me out of my own market.
Well, that's what I would do if I was the one doing it.
So are you telling me that it's not you?
Because the word is is that it all comes from you.
Well, then, you just let me be the first one to tell you.
The real word is, Razor and his Maggots,
they jacked a truck of someone else's product.
So it's easy to sell cheap something that you got for free
in the first place.
So what you might wanna do, Crowbar,
is call a sit-down with the Maggots,
waste their valuable time.
Meanwhile...
you can be sure we're taking steps to fix the problem.
Wow, these are just so great.
Mm, you can sort of see the evolution.
Definitely gets better.
What's with the upside down biker patches?
Oh, Dev's trophies.
From his enemies.
You're out bad and hardly a man if your patch gets taken.
Anyway, you want my opinion on your stuff?
Yeah.
You got real promise, Sarah Jane.
You really think so?
I do.
But you're too good not to know that.
So...
What's holding you back?
I'm still figuring things out.
It's like, I could either be
this one thing...
or this other thing,
and meanwhile...
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
You know, sometimes an artist needs help along the way.
I could use an assistant.
- Are you serious? - Mm-hm.
- Hey. - Hey.
Hey, look who's here!
Hey.
Wow, look at this flaming piece.
Come here.
Whoa, Crowbar, you haven't even met her.
Have some respect for Chef's old lady.
That's Chef's old lady?
The probate in Petersburg?
Yeah.
Well, alright, Chef!
Wow.
Listen.
Bring your boys by the Petersburg Clubhouse this Friday.
We're planning on celebrating the solution
to our mutual problem.
Take it from me, things are looking up, Crowbar.
I will be there.
Oh...
Hey... How's Chef doing, busy?
Yeah, he's away on a job.
Oh, yeah?
What kind of job?
Tree business? I don't really know.
Good.
A man needs a woman who knows how to keep her trap shut
about his business.
Did I tell you she will be a welcome addition
to this family?
You did.
And you will be.
If Chef makes the grade.
Don't take him personally.
He can't leave a room without making a threat.
I should get going anyway.
So I meant what I said. Think about it.
Okay.
See ya.
Gentlemen, this is Dave,
one of the agency's top technical advisers.
Dave specializes in operations like this
and has a very specific plan, so listen carefully.
Okay, gentlemen.
Today I'm the man in charge.
That means you must all do what I say, when I say it,
and how I say it.
Anything less than perfection will not be tolerated.
We're all clear on this, right?
We all understand what the quote-unquote "stakes" are here?
Okay, who's on camera?
Alright.
Hang on to this.
I'll get back to you.
You're the dead man?
Who are the killers?
Okay.
Hey, what about me?
You're the grave digger.
And you are gonna help him.
Here you go, peaches.
Four feet deep minimum, over there.
Okay, any questions?
Okay.
Let's go kill this man.
Done a lot of weird stuff in my life, man,
but this takes the Twinkie.
I mean, how far we gonna go with this, huh?
First Razor and then what?
I mean, where does it end, man?
Was it really that bad?
What?
Prison.
You know, it's just... you don't really seem like the kind of guy who takes a deal, you know, so...
This is better.
Unless you end up in one of these, right?
Still better.
Now, the back squibs will be convincing but this little baby will be definitive.
Pow!
I hear there are worse ways to die.
Yeah, I've staged a few of them.
Tell you one thing, after they see this little
motion picture, you guys are as good as patched.
And then what?
We get in deeper, and we take them down.
Yeah, but not before soaking in a few more years
of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, right?
What, you think this is a party?
We let criminals like the Devil carry on so we can rack up bigger charges.
You think the risk is worth it?
Yeah, we got an algorithm for that.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm glad your world is so black and white.
Let me ask you something.
What'd you do to make The Devil want you dead?
You know anything about a truck that got hijacked?
No.
So you never stole anything from him?
How much longer, Dave?
Meredith, you can have it fast,
or you can have it flawless.
Go get your other guy; we're almost done here.
Darko, over here.
Bug, another two feet.
Are you serious?
It's gotta be deeper.
Okay, this one's for real.
Does everybody know what they're doing?
Dead guy?
Killers?
Camera?
Gag him.
Lock him up.
Just move.
Shut up.
I'm only gonna say this once.
Run, Maggot. Run!
Head shot. Was that you?
Yeah, you got him in the back.
Run, Maggot.
Sweet.
Bug?
What are you doing?
I just finished.
It's a nice, deep hole, huh?
Yeah, it's good.
Come out.
Alright, fill it in.
Alright, that's good. Let me see it.
Okay, good, I think we got it.
Pull him out.
Okay, Lazarus.
We're all done here.
Run, Maggot... run!
I had my doubts, but I think this could work.
Oh, it'll work.
As long as you guys keep your stories straight.
Dickweed.
All set?
Hey.
Good luck.
Take more than luck to keep this
from biting us all in the ass.
Well, that's one dead Maggot.
You guys finish digging a hole yet?
Yeah.
Put him in.
Let me grab his patch first.
Nicely done, Chef.
Alright, fill it in.
Where'd you do it?
Somewhere no one will ever find him.
Whaddya think, Snipe?
'Cause I think our Petersburg probates just took a big step forward.
One more time...
Oh, I like it, boys.
Nice job.
I'll tell Gator and we'll swing down and celebrate.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Chef?
Hey.
Sarah Jane forgot this.
She was here?
Yeah, she dropped by to show me her artwork.
Talented girl.
You might have a future tattoo artist there.
Tell her I said hi.
Oh, I will.
I know, man. I know.
Doghouse!
Razor's been moved by the marshals.
Looks like we're all clear,
as long as everything holds up at your end.
Here's hoping.
Listen...
In light of the tactics we resorted to,
the office wants to meet and review your progress.
Well, I might have an hour next month.
Why d'you keep doing this, David?
You could do anything you want in law enforcement.
I like to finish what I started.
What about you?
Come on.
Asked you an honest question.
I mean, at your age.
You have a family, right?
You don't have to do this.
I guess I don't know any other way to be.
Having a role to play that isn't me...
it's like...
I dunno.
Freedom?
Nah, the opposite.
The role dictates every choice you make.
And you make the ones that keep you alive.
There a word for that?
Yeah.
Stupid.
Personally, I prefer to go home,
and get a good night's sleep in my own bed.
I envy you.
Meredith?
When you go into that office tomorrow,
you make sure to tell them it's worth it.
- Hey. - Hi, Charlie.
- Sarah Jane around? - Yeah.
Hey, look, it's the marksman!
See what you missed today?
Wow, you got one, huh?
Hey, I didn't think you'd be back so soon.
Yeah, I came to bring you this.
Could you just excuse us for a sec?
She offered to look at my work, Charlie.
What was I supposed to say?
You say no, Sarah Jane.
Well, I'd already agreed, down in Florida.
I mean, it's not that big a deal.
Cozy cannot be your friend and you know why.
No, what I know
is that she actually takes an interest in what I want.
Seriously?
Seriously.
Seriously, how can you be that stupid?
I'm stupid?
Yeah... yeah.
I am stupid.
For playing along with this in the first place.
If I hadn't done that to bail you out,
I wouldn't even know these people.
Sarah... okay, look, Sarah Jane.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
Look...
You helped, and you were great,
but I don't want you being any more involved in this.
You don't want us getting more involved.
What?!
Because then you'd have to decide
if you even want what you've got.
Whoa... How did we get here?
Ass-backwards, Charlie.
Same way we get everywhere in our stupid lives.
Do you really want to do this now?
No...
No, we don't have to do this now.
No, we can put it off until we're stuck
with the only choice that we've got left.
But if it's not the one that you want,
then why should I want it?
Liking what you hear, Martha?
To the future.
The future.
So you talked to Gator?
Uh-huh.
And where do we stand?
He's happy. I'm happy.
So we get our patches now?
You have a way of getting ahead
of yourself, Bullet.
Rubs some of my guys the wrong way.
That's their problem.
My problem is, if I'm gonna be taking care of business,
I should be part of the business.
Ain't up to just me.
You're gonna have to trust the process.
Hit the head, boys.
I said leave.
Get you anything else?
Yeah, a beer.
And Razor.
Can't help you there.
You grab him that night,
don't cap him till the next day.
Why the wait?
You wanted video, so we had to wait for daylight.
So where'd you keep him that night?
Trunk of the car.
Where? Here?
Bullet's place? Where?
Bullet's.
You talk to him at all?
Mouth was taped. He was doped up.
With what?
Downers.
What kind of downers?
What, are you serious? The kind that work.
What difference does it make?
Maybe the difference between dead and alive.
Or probate and patch.
Actually, he did say something
before we capped him.
Yeah?
Said he never stole anything.
- He said that? - Yeah.
You sure about that?
So he just comes out with that,
or you ask him and he answers?
He was saying a whole bunch of things, okay, man?
He was begging for his life.
You ask him what he never took?
No, man, I did not. Okay?
Look, you got a PhD in paranoia, brother.
Yeah, that's why I set the tests.
And far as I'm concerned, you ain't passed shit.
The Congo, man. Look it up.
The weather is, like, amazing
and the real estate's, like, super cheap, right?
Plus it's the kind of place where nobody else
is gonna be able to find me, you know, when...
when I'm done with all this.
I mean, you know, when I'm, when I'm done
doing whatever it is I'm doing, you know?
Like, like not 'this', right?
You know?
What?
No, no its just... No, it's just something I said.
It's like, it's like, not a big deal.
It was just I said something and then,
and then he thought...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who invited those guys, huh?
It's okay.
Pagans are our... friends.
You sure?
Well...
Howdy, losers!
Hip-hip... Hey!
Ah, look who's here.
I'm here for the celebration you promised.
So what are we celebrating?
Better days, my friend, better days.
Now, grab yourselves a drink, and then we can talk.
You invite them?
Shared celebration.
They know what we did?
Crowbar doesn't even know what he thinks he knows.
Beers, shots... And guess what, Chef?
I, uh... I bumped into your ol' lady last week at the Devil's.
Damn, how did you pull such a hot babe?
Well, you know, I'd say, 'Just be yourself.'
But in your case, you might wanna try being someone else.
Huh...
Well, there was a certain Maggot who stopped bein' his self.
You hear about that?
Nope.
Oh, yeah.
It was a local chapter boss, Razor.
He just disappeared, just vanished,
just poof, puff of dust.
Huh, what do you think of that?
Weird, right?
Yeah, maybe he just went for a ride
and didn't tell anyone.
Maybe. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, that's one theory.
Or maybe Razor got erased.
You know, here's the thing...
If he doesn't come back soon,
then you gotta figure that the Maggots are gonna form
their own theories about who done it.
Maybe it's time we got high, huh?
Yeah, yeah, spark it if you got it.
No... Not that.
Oh, yeah?
What are you, um, what are you packing?
Boy and girl. Just in, hm?
What do you say, chief?
Uh, yeah, yeah, um...
Yeah, no, you see, I'm... I'm supposed to, um,
I'm supposed to stay...
Supposed to stay what?
Um, I'm supposed to stay, like,
like here, you know, like, like on guard.
You know, like, right here, watching the...
Is it about the money?
Huh? Yeah, I'm like,
I'm like totally broke, right, you know, so, so...
Look, don't worry about it.
Huh?
It's on the house, okay?
It's your first time.
Play nice, big guy.
Why do you get us a couple strong beers, yeah?
What the hell?
Hear you're spreading stories.
You talking about Razor?
No, but I hear you are.
Oh yeah, I might have mentioned forward
what I heard. So what?
Well, maybe for your own health you should
uh, keep your theories 'bout Razor to yourself.
End of the day, the Maggots' loss is your gain.
Right, but see, that's the point.
I haven't felt any gain 'cause the blow's still comin' in.
Sometimes there's a lag between
a cause and an effect.
Right, but somehow I don't feel like this
is one of those times.
Y'know, Crowbar, you and I could still be friends
if you spent a little less time wallowing
about a half-empty glass.
Friends?
See, you and me aren't friends
on account of you tried to kill me.
Listen to yourself.
The persecution, the negativity.
I mean, people find it toxic.
See my glass, it's empty.
But the thing is?
I just go fill it right back up.
Some things are like ridin' a bike, man.
So where do you rock the scale, at like 340, 360?
Cause you always match the dose to the dude.
That's what I used to say, you know, back in my...
back in my wayward days, right?
Oh man, this is gonna be so nice.
What do you want? Same as last time?
Outside the Black Lion, yeah?
Half an hour? Yeah, sure.
Okay, T minus five, four...
three, two, one...
liftoff.
Ah, Houston, we have liftoff...
Ah...
Oh!
Whoa! Dude, dude?
Oh, no!
Black Lion?
Our Black Lion, are you sure?
Alright, I gotta hit the head.
Meet me outside.
Ooh, hoo-hoo...
Oh... Oh.
Shee-at.
Oh, ho-ho-ho...
Hey!
Help! Somebody help!
Bug and Foghorn, they're down in the bathroom. Help!
Bug!
Call 911!
That would not be my choice.
Do not make that call, probate.
Call it, now!
Yeah, hey, we got an emergency.
I don't know...
Our brother's had a rough night.
Let's get him home.
What are you doing?
You take care of yours,
we'll take care of ours.
Let's go!
Just hurry up, okay? It's 1 Arsenal Road.
Come on, Bug!
See you at the funeral.
Let's go!
Meredith.
I need you here.
We can keep the local police on board.
Assuming you want to go on.
You are going to go on, aren't you?
David?
_
Don't feel good bein' lied to, does it, D?
Never was the Maggots selling drugs on our turf.
What are we gonna do?
Somethin'.
We're gonna do somethin'.
Oh, yeah.
- synced and corrected by sot26 - www.addic7ed.com
We need to talk.
You want to tell me why you're talking
to Gator behind my back?
Because you won't listen.
I think it's time for a little honesty here.
What's he talking about?
I say we can beat this.
No, I'm sorry, this is where it ends.
This isn't the time to get tripped up by your own bullshit
What do you think these holes are?
You know why you're here Chef?
I got a pretty good idea.
Sniper thinks you got something to hide.
Sniper's right. I got a lot to hide.
