The Oath (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

- When do these take effect? - Could be tomorrow.
- That soon, eh? - You're welcome.
I really appreciate you, uh, giving me a ride home.
I've got cancer, not a cold.
You just need to lay low.
Your brother's in over his head.
Do I have your support? - Is there a reason you're here? - My therapist thought it was gonna be a good idea, and it wasn't.
Get out.
Neckbone needs to talk to you.
They found Sleep's body.
I need to know you all got my back! 'Cause if not, I'm assuming you all gonna have to get dealt with.
Veronica and Lourdes may be in more danger than I thought.
You made it a point to say you could protect them better than me, here's your chance to prove it.
I didn't sign up for something long-term like this.
No case is worth getting a divorce over.
You're free to quit at any time.
- You're blackmailing us? - Look, it was Hammond I was leveraging, not you.
Any money I got off of him was gonna be for us.
You chose him over us.
Give me something on the Vipers so we can leverage him and keep him quiet.
The Vipers are sitting on guns that were stolen from an armory up north.
Damn, that's a lot of dope.
You didn't tell Neckbone what you found.
Tells me you're looking for a deal.
So what're you offering? I got your new guy Byrd.
Why'd you give 'em a heads up? I make the decisions about this stuff.
Not anymore, you don't.
Tell me who's behind the WMD.
You wanna meet my supplier? You want in, you gotta deal with me.
Thought I was just gonna let her get away with trying to kill me? Are you insane? She tried to have me killed.
She's a cop.
She may have been many things, but a cop wasn't one of 'em.
Gonna help me get rid of the body or what? Pull the trigger, asshole.
Wish you would.
The number you have reached is not in service at this time and there is no new number.
Please be sure You don't get it.
I'd be dead right now if the Ravens hadn't found me.
Are you sure Winters was behind them grabbing you? Who else? She runs the Vipers! They wouldn't have done it without her order.
We need to pick her up and put this thing to bed.
They got the results from the trials six weeks ago.
There are concerns about the side effects.
Well, make the issue go away.
That's what I pay you for.
To do that, there's only one viable option.
Melvin Carter.
Number three position at the FDA, retiring in two months.
Fine.
Good.
Great.
Let's reach out to him before he pulls the plug.
Offer him a golden handshake.
Christ.
FBI's here.
Take them to my office, I'll be there in ten minutes.
If Mom won't listen to us, maybe we should get Dad to talk to her.
I don't want him involved.
If he gave a damn, he never would've left her in the first place.
Listen, are we sure this guy's a quack? - He's a con man.
- Jesus Because Dr.
Faraday says it's toxic.
Totally unnecessary.
It is toxic, and I know it makes you feel like crap, Mom, but chemo is still your best bet of beating this thing.
No, it isn't, Steve.
Dr.
Faraday's treatment works.
And it doesn't wear me out or Make me feel weak.
And my hair stopped falling out.
That doesn't mean you're cured.
No, no.
But I I've met some of his patients.
The ones he's cured.
It's incredible! I mean, their nails They've got strong nails.
This one gal, her hair So what does he do, he parades these healthy people in front of you? Tells you that they were his patients and they're now miraculously cured? Is that what he does? What? He's not the type that would lie.
Okay.
Well, if he has a cure, why aren't other doctors using it? Well, yeah, because of the maturity of doctors Oh, and Big Pharma, by the way, are making fortunes off of other people's suffering.
So he's saving the world for free? He can cure me, Steve! All the other doctors could offer me was remission.
Maybe temporary, maybe not at all.
I trust him.
Listen, Cole said these treatments are expensive, right? That your insurance won't cover it because it's experimental.
Insurance, they're in collusion with the others.
They're all ju They're just Sucking us it's a racket! I know it's expensive! But it gives me hope.
Look, the truth of the matter is any asshole can make a website.
"Every human body contains its own cure.
" Come on.
What'd you find out? It's complete bullshit.
Of all his patients I reached out to, they're either dead or still sick.
So what are we gonna do, Steve? We're gonna get her back in real treatment.
She's not gonna listen.
This guy's already inside her head.
He's already convinced her it's working.
There's something I need to handle first.
Then we'll take care of him.
Hammond's here.
Did you know anything about this? I ain't off the bitch.
Someone dropped her on my doorstep.
Shit, it was probably your old man.
Tom's not that stupid.
Yeah, he ain't that stupid.
But he dangerous when he needs to be.
Listen, you had Winters looking for the source of WMD, right? I had everybody on that.
You included.
Maybe she shook the wrong tree? They sent her back as a warning? Okay, you got a point.
But now it needs to be sharpened some.
It might be Tom, it might be them WMD assholes, but you need to find out real fast and bring 'em to me gift wrapped, or I'm assuming the Ravens is part of the problem.
And if that's the case, I'm coming after all you.
Family included.
You feel me? We had nothing to do with this.
I'll find out who did.
Yeah, you do that.
Incinerate this bitch.
Pull! Why is my wife's cell phone shut off? A precaution.
Pull! Where are they? I went by your place, they're not there.
They're safe.
Pull! Where? Don't screw with me, Victor! I asked you to keep them safe, not make 'em disappear.
When I know you're clear of trouble, you'll see them.
Pull! Pull! So the judge asked me what I based the traffic stop on, right? I tell 'em the shithead drives a G-class, has no job and lives in the projects.
That's what I based it on.
And the case got kicked, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- But, you know - Yeah, but what? The guy walked 'cause the truth set him free.
Never tell the truth.
We need to talk.
Oh, we need to talk, yeah? Sure, Steve.
What? I just came from Neckbone's.
He got your message.
Course he got the message.
Left the bitch on his doorstep.
Listen, I'm trying to put this on the WMD dealers.
But if we don't give this lunatic a target, he's gonna be coming after all of us.
Let him bring it.
You're a selfish son of a bitch.
Always have been.
No, the tuition is not a problem.
I would rather you go to school closer to home.
I gotta go, I'll talk to you about it later.
Price.
What kind of situation? Who? Mrs.
Byrd, I'm Special Agent Pri Are you working with my husband? - Yes.
- I wanna see him.
Well, he's on assignment.
Is there some sort of family emergency? It's between me and him.
I will have him contact you as soon as he can.
Can't you call him in? If you would tell me what this is concerning It's about our marriage.
That is not a good enough reason for you to be here.
I'll have him contact you but until then, you need to leave.
Mrs.
Byrd.
Mrs.
Byrd? I work with your husband.
I think I can help you get a hold of him.
Hey, what's up? I should've told you earlier.
There's something you need to know.
- Winters is dead.
- What? It was Tom.
He took her out.
How do you know? I was there.
He stepped up behind her, pulled the trigger.
Then dumped her body at Neckbone's club.
Neckbone knows it was him? Right now he ain't sure.
Jesus Christ, Steve.
We are this close, this close, to a war with Neckbone.
What? Dad's been working on the other Ravens about getting you out, and bringing him back in.
Yeah.
And you know that'll affect our deal with the Feds? Of course I do.
We're gonna fix this shit right now.
so far up his ass, you can't see the daylight! Look, I told you, don't fucking worry about it.
Get the hell out of my face! Everything all right? We want a counting of the pension fund.
- Who's we? - He speaks for everyone.
We're hearing the fund's empty.
Zip, nada.
Just 'cause it ain't in Carl's safe doesn't mean we don't have it.
We all contribute.
Tom never treated us like this.
Tom never treated you like this? Tom had lawyer fees.
Kraley, we got his back.
We pay for the best 'cause he's a Raven.
And we're all on the same team.
- You're lying.
- Yeah, keep running your mouth.
- It gets you hurt.
- Kiss my ass, Ramos.
Yeah? - Calm down, man.
- Easy, easy.
Easy! Meeting.
Here.
Tomorrow night.
You can see the remaining cash and you can hit me with your grievances.
That work for you? Yeah.
That works.
You're a fucking dumbass.
Fuckin' redneck.
You're running your mouth again, Carl? Tom wanted the safe open.
Didn't like what he saw.
Hamm, we've been using that money to stay afloat.
There's nothing to show 'em tomorrow night.
We're gonna have to fix that.
- Should I call Beach? - No.
I told you about her last week.
You wanted the source of my anger and I gave it to you.
I don't know what else you want from me.
Talking about her aloud isn't necessarily processing it.
I have been processing this my whole life.
No.
You've been letting it control you.
You've been letting her control you.
Are you willing to keep working with me? To learn how to take control of your own life instead of just reacting blindly when someone pushes your buttons? Work.
Gotta go.
Can I get an answer to my question before you go? Well, you've made it very clear that my job depends on it, so the answer is yes.
Steve's protecting you.
Just let him handle Neckbone.
Only way to handle Neckbone is to kill him.
Like you killed Winters, right? Yeah, Steve told me.
One down, one to go.
Payback's a bitch.
Enough of this shit.
You're gonna start a war.
Just slow your roll.
We'll handle it.
All right? Why are they here? I wanna see which way they're leaning.
Any reason why we couldn't talk inside the bar? I'm taking the club back.
Dick measuring contest.
Every girl's dream.
You two need to make a choice.
Where's Ramos on this? In Steve's pocket.
So are we, Tom.
Does she talk for you? I'm my own man.
Listen, with me, we earn as a club.
I'm talking about cash payouts on a weekly basis.
Does that interest you? You still got a case riding with IA.
Yeah, I know.
I'll beat it.
Always do.
You're gonna end up in jail.
So, I'm calling a vote.
Me or Steve.
You make the wrong choice, you pay for the consequences.
She showed up a half hour ago, said she needs to talk to you.
- Who's she? - Says she's his wife.
And she is seriously pissed off.
Hamm and Ramos in the back? What am I, the receptionist? Do I look like I'm in the mood to play? Nope.
Haven't seen 'em.
Do you realize the danger you're putting me in? How did you know where to find me? Where are you staying? I'll come by, okay? Anything you want to say, I'll listen.
But I cannot do it now.
- What's this? - What do you think it is? Damon, you have not seen me or your son in almost 11 months.
I never know where you are or if you're even coming back.
Look, I don't have a choice.
I don't have a choice.
I'm on assignment, Tara.
Don't do this.
I'm not living like this.
Not anymore.
What do you got? Circled the block three times.
No movement on the street, no sign of civilians.
All right.
Let's do this.
Do anything stupid, you die.
We want the money you scam from sick, desperate people.
People who you con into believing your bullshit.
Yo, $52.
- Please - Shut up! Dad? Shit.
911, what's the nature of your emergency? Shh! Stay quiet, okay? I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? I'm not gonna hurt you.
Just stay quiet, okay? Shh! Shh! Shh! Be quiet.
Be quiet.
Be quiet.
It's gonna be okay.
You didn't tell us there's a kid.
We need to leave now.
We're already here.
We're not leaving empty-handed.
- There ain't shit here.
- Keep your voice down.
Hey, I found a safe in the den.
Yeah, come on.
Dad? Dad! Don't leave me.
Please.
Please, don't hurt us.
- Hey, hey, hey, it's okay - Shut the fuck up! We're not gonna hurt your or your dad, okay? Ah! Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! Listen.
Listen to me.
We're just gonna t - Listen, listen.
- No, please! Help! There's no money here, I swear! Get back! I need you to tell me you're gonna be okay.
Please.
Where's the rest? Where's the rest? I don't keep cash here! - Where do you keep it? - Offshore accounts! - You lying? - I swear to God! I think he's lying.
I swear to God! Please, no! I don't! I swear! There's no more money here.
I swear.
- Straight? - Just give me a beer.
It's pretty light.
Just put it in with the rest.
What do you got there, Steve? Fifty bucks? Put whatever he's drinking on my tab, will you, Carl? Doesn't look like he can afford it.
- I got it.
- Suit yourself.
Jacking up a doctor.
That's some desperate shit, even from you.
You know what I think? I don't think you give a crap about the pension fund.
Whatever this is, it's personal.
I hear you're trying to force a vote.
Force? Nah.
Nah, they're ready for change.
If they got issues, they should just be talking to me.
Why would they? They don't have any respect for you anymore.
I suggested you as the leader.
My mistake.
Time to fix it.
Tomorrow night.
I'm calling a vote.
You with me, or not? You gonna tell us about your lady friend at the bar? Carl says she was your wife, though it's hard to believe anybody would marry your sorry ass.
Hey, shut your goddamn mouth.
What're we here for? Winters.
She's disappeared since I got grabbed.
I want her found.
Now.
Look, how the hell would we know where to find her at, goddamnit? She's a Viper.
You're talking to the wrong club.
Find out from your boyfriend where she's at, or I'm bringing him in.
He's also the only reason we found you.
- You think I give a shit? - Your bitch-ass should.
- You're standing here.
- Screw you and him! Hey, hey.
The FBI can't find her, what do you expect us to do? Then have my back.
Like I've had yours.
He put a goddamn case on us.
He could've made our lives a lot worse.
This shit is his fault.
He was kidnapped, and he still didn't give us up to Winters.
Or tell the FBI we drugged his ass at the off training party.
He's had our back, so, we need to have his.
- Are you serious? - No.
But if he thinks we are, it'll help us down the line.
It's Foster hitting me back.
Tell him to meet me in 20 minutes.
I don't like us working with that asshole.
Doesn't matter if you like it.
He's the key to us getting rid of the Neckbone problem.
What're you gonna tell him? That Winters is dead.
Put those right there.
Nowadays, you can carry every single piece of music ever recorded in your pocket.
But it never sounds as good as one of these.
That there is a technological problem that needs addressing by genius bar sons of bitches.
Maybe they know it sounds like shit and just don't care.
Hammond.
What you do, trade Ramos in for a better-looking model? You Winters' boy.
Not anymore.
She's dead, right? Good point.
You get my answer? Winters was double-crossing you.
Playing both sides.
We found a stash of WMD at her storage unit.
So the Vipers was running game on me? Yeah, we didn't know, man.
- You lying to me? - He's not.
Word is the WMD dealers have been looking to get it back.
But they still don't know where she kept it.
So we don't have the whole answer for you right now but best bet, when they found out Winters was ripping them off, they thought she was doing it with the orders given by you.
So they killed her and dumped her body on you.
I'm being played, and I don't like it.
We hear you.
Vipers want to keep the deal intact.
- I'll handle shit from now on.
- Ain't happening.
He's willing to give up the location of Winters' WMD stash.
You take the WMD, you sell it.
Pure profit.
We take nothing.
And with the dealers looking for it, it's only a matter of time before they show up and lead you to which one of them killed not just Winters, but also your baby brother.
We got a deal? Yeah.
We good.
For now.
All right, if you want someone to sit on the storage unit for you, I can send a couple of my guys.
It's mine.
That's what I'm hearing, right? Then you out.
Hey.
Why'd you shut me out of that job with Cole and Ramos? It's not the time or place, Beach.
We're about to have a vote.
Seems like now would be the best time to have a chat about it.
Can I have your attention, please? Um, I know my son, Steve, here, wants to say a few things.
But, uh, I believe proof is in a man's actions, not in his words.
So I say we skip that and move to vote.
Yeah! You know your choices.
So, who's with me? And who's with Steve? Okay, by my count we have a new Hey, hang on, Carl.
Got somebody over here who hasn't voted yet.
No abstentions allowed.
Is it me or your brother? Steve.
You're back on top, Tom.
Congratulations.
You really think he cares about you more than I do? That's not the reason.
What? I don't want you to go back to jail, okay? If you run that shit again, you will.
- No, I won't.
- You never listen.
Isn't that what you used to tell me? Huh? Now it looks like you're the one that isn't listening.
You're full of shit! Sorry for your loss, Steve.
Nothing personal.
Of course it's personal.
Just know the feeling's mutual.
What's that supposed to mean? It means you and Tom deserve each other.
You know he killed Winters, right? And then dumped her body at Neckbone's.
So I hope you're ready for the war he started.
Hey, hey.
She came onto me first.
She made the first move.
What am I supposed to do? Give her a second chance? Anyway, I think the Ravens are up for teaching Neckbone a lesson, am I right? Cheers, all.
Cheers, everyone.
Thank you.
Thanks for your votes.
Pretty quiet, Neck.
Yeah.
Open that shit up.
Will you look at this shit? I guess Hammond wasn't lying.
Are you sure about this? Going public with this could destroy stock prices.
Truth is gonna come out sooner or later.
It's better to get in front of it while you still can.
Only way to be the hero is to be the one telling the story.
Hello.
Thank you all for coming.
Uh, my name is David Shankman.
I'm CEO of Helixa Corporation.
So, earlier this year, there was talk of Helixa declaring bankruptcy.
Those reports are completely overblown.
Helixa has been a pioneering company in the pharmaceutical industry for over ten years, and we will continue to be a part of a community that strives for a better, healthier tomorrow for years to come.
What about the allegations connecting your company with the street drug WMD, can you speak to that? Yes.
Recently, the FBI came to us to help locate the source of WMD.
Together, we followed the trail back to its point of origin.
Dante Gardener, an ex-employee of Helixa Corporation.
So you're saying Dante Gardener is solely responsible for the drug's distribution? The moment the FBI brought this to our attention, we discovered that Gardener had stolen several test batches of Restorin, a revolutionary new painkiller that we're about to bring to market.
He had cut Restorin with several common street drugs, and sold it for his own personal gain.
And where is Gardener now? Gardener's crimes have caught up with him.
The police discovered his body a few weeks ago.
It breaks my heart that Restorin, which was designed to alleviate pain, would be used to cause it.
Restorin is a regulated, highly effective measure against chronic and severe pain.
And we are very excited to launch this revolutionary new drug in the upcoming weeks.
FBI, freeze! Drop your weapons! Nah, I ain't going out like that.
Gun! They're running! Go, go, go! On our left! On our left!
