She was beaten. Raped.

They never caught the guy.

I made a choice. A long time ago.

I thought everything came from something else.

I walk up behind him.

It's him. It's the guy.

And I know now, you know, the act,

it described a trajectory.

Your son was born nine months after what happened?

There's me and him and I'm his dad.

I raised that boy. I'm raising him.

It doesn't matter where he comes...

Our position is that it matters a great deal.

I have to have the paternity test.

I don't want to live this fantasy about Chad with you anymore.

He should have the truth

when he's ready.

Whatever they say, whatever stories you hear,

I'm your father, you are my son.

I'll always love you.

Can I ask how much you drink in an average week?

All I can.

Bad habits.

Never lost one yet.

You must have had hundreds of lives.

I don't think I can handle another one.

I think the only way I get a vacation is if I croak.

Can I ask you something, Mr. Velcoro?

Do you want to live?

My strong suspicion is we get the world we deserve.

What happened to your shoes?

They took his shoes out of his gym locker.

You like to bully kids, Ass-pen.

Hey, you can't talk...

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop? Stop?

I thought that got you off, kid, seeing people in pain.

What the hell is the matter with you?

Asshole.

You're bad, Ray. You're a bad person.

And you're bad for my son.

All right, I'm a piece of shit,

but that boy is all I have in my entire shitty life.

You were good at being decent

until something happened.

That ruined everything, Ray.

That ruined you.

What do you want from me?

Maybe we'll talk sometime.

Maybe not.

Caspere was important to this thing I have going on.

I've got to clean it up now.

So you beat the bushes until you figure it out.

It's about money, Detective Velcoro.

Wherever the Caspere case goes, we need you running point.

Control the sprawl. Control the flow of information.

How's that for detecting?

Caspere had another house. Place he brought girls.

You walked me into something, Frank.

Hey, hold on!

Now, are you gonna tell me what Caspere was doing with you

or do I wait to walk into another dark room,

this time with real bullets?

Who do you think's gonna be first in the firing line?

I'm gonna take a wild guess that you and Woodrugh

ain't the most popular folks at your squads.

I did not do anything.

If there's a buyout with the state attorney,

Chessani could make your ass part of the deal.

I'm suspended?

Death's mother finds me!

Maybe it's time to put this cop shit to bed.

Sometimes your worst self

is your best self.

This is fucked.

We were always set up.

So was Frank.

You know about these parties they throw?

Rich men.

Politicians, developers.

Caspere was going to these things.

Deals get done.

This girl's gone missing.

Nobody cares.

The interior's poisoned and suddenly worth billions,

nobody cares.

Bunch of people got shot to shit,

nobody fucking cares...

There's no rules, you see?

I will burn this entire fucking city to the ground first.

You might be one of the last friends I got.

You're not a bad man.

Men like this...

they always skate.

Not with me they don't.

I have a play. One thing they don't know.

You're going, right? We got to get out.

Yeah, that's the plan.

Thinking about your boy?

A turn here, a turn there, and it goes on for years.

Becomes something else.

I'm sorry, you know,

for the man I became...

the father I was.

I hope you got the strength to learn from that.

And I hope you got no doubts how much I loved you, son.

And you're better than me.

If I had been stronger...

I would have been more like you.
