But the music...

The music's gone, Jakey.

The music just stopped.

The fire's the only thing I hear.

And the animal is scared of fire.

Who is scared of fire?

Hench is scared of fire.

What's going on here, Ignacio?

What happened?

Two legs

for two train tickets.

Julius Hench

gave me a choice.

Two hands, or two legs.

That's two for two tickets.

Legs!

Legs!

God! F***!

You just tried to kill me.

Why?

I had to.

I was told.

Buddy was quitting because of you.

Nobody leaves Hench.

Definitely not Buddy.

Hench loves the kid.

You shouldn't have never have come back.

But it's not too late.

Give me the phone

and get away from this town.

I won't say a word.

- Hey...

- Give me the phone.

Give it to me!

Move your f***ing feet

the f*** over here

and give me the phone.

Give it to me

or I'll blow your f***ing head off.

Toss it!

Is he dead, or do I have

to buy him dinner?

Don't.

I hear you breathing.

Talk to me, son. You okay?

What's going on there? Where are you at?

Don't.

Eric!

Talk to me, Eric!

I'll send someone over there!

Where are you at?

Miners...

Eric! Eric!

You okay, son?

- Sh*t!

- Eric!

Jacob?

Take a deep breath. Ready?

The Philharmonic wrote!

You got the job, baby!

You did it! Can you believe it?

I'm so happy for you! So happy!

Come home quick, okay?

Buds?

Vittoria called. She wants us to...

They killed Eric!

What?

They killed him!

Who?

Do they know who did it?

Yeah.

Who?

Who, Buds?

A bad man.

Who, Buds? Who? Who killed him?

They killed my brother.

They killed my partner!

Buddy. Buds, it'll be okay.

- It'll be all right.

- No, it won't.

- Yeah.

- No.

- It will, Buds.

- I'll get him. I'll get him, Jakey.

Buds. Hey, Buds. Buds, listen to me.

I want you to come with me.

- I got a job at the Philharmonic...

- No, I can't go with you now.

I can't go with you now!

I gotta find that bad man

and I gotta crack his skull in!

Do you understand?

Buds, the cops will handle it.

No, they won't. No, they won't.

Do you think they got the guy who shot Pop?

You think they got him?

No, Jakey!

I did!

I did.

Bud.

There's a lot of bad people

out there, Jakey.

And somebody's gotta stop them.

Did Hench tell you that?

Yeah.

If Hench told you I was a bad man...

Me.

Would you believe him?

He would never say that.

- He would never say that.

- He's not a good man, okay?

- He's not a good man.

- Yes, he is!

- You don't understand Julius!

- You don't understand, Buds!

You don't understand!

When I was driving,

I backed into a fence post, okay?

So, if anyone asks what we were doing,

I was playing checkers

with you all night, okay?

Buds?

- Hey!

- Don't cry.

I'm with you now. I'm with you now, son.
