So that's what I did.

I was a clerk in the office.

Come here. Come here.

Give me your hand.

And so the legal paper,

what it said I did...

...you think I did that?

Oh, no.

Oh, no, Papa.

Yeah, it was so cold.

- Hi.

- Hi, Grandpa.

I didn't know you were here.

- Stopped by to see Mikey.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, baby.

- Mischka.

- Saw you on TV.

- Yeah, we saw you on TV.

It's all fake. We'll talk later.

You wanna make some popcorn,

Mikey? Lot of salt?

No salt, Papa.

- Lot of salt, Annie. Paprika.

- Come on, Grandpa.

What that?

I asked my dad to help...

For him to help me get rid

of the rust. But he didn't know how.

Give me a Coca-Cola and a sponge.

He wants me to represent him.

Were Harry, I wouldn't

represent him.

- Bye, Mikey. Bye, Mischka.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye, Dean.

- What if he did it?

Oh, Christ, Dean.

You'd still love him. He's still your dad.

Blood's thicker than spilled blood.

That sounds just like something

Harry would say, not you.

I'm just saying, don't represent him.

It's not just another case to win.

I always say my prayers

and do my pushups.

Maybe it does good, maybe not.

You gotta pass, run, try everything

to make a touchdown, Mikey.

Do you always

do your pushups, Mikey?

- Yeah, makes a healthy body.

- A healthy body makes a healthy spirit.

God, you're strong, Grandpa.

Getting weaker every day.

No, you're not.

You wanna talk about the TV?

- Okay.

- It's not me they're talking about.

They made a mistake.

I didn't kill anybody or hurt anybody.

- That's not your grandpa.

- I know, Grandpa.

Your mama, she's a good lawyer.

- She'll defend you?

- Yeah, we're a family.

- You got trouble, I help. I got trouble...

- I help.

You help.

If somebody says something

about your grandpa...

...one of your friends, you say:

" F*** you! Jump in the lake."

I can say that?

- Good night, Mikey.

- Good night, Grandpa.

Papa?

- Papa, I'll represent you.

- Good.

"Good"? That's all?

- Very good.

- Oh, "very good."

I need to know everything about you,

everything that they might know.

I think you should stay here with me

and Mikey for a while.

No. I'll go to my own house.

But we can work better out

of here, Papa.

It's not gonna be easy.

Papa?

It'll be okay.

It'll be okay, Papa.

No, Annie, it's never

going to be okay again.

Hey, hey. Hey, nice boots.

You're looking good.

Good-looking butt too.

- Hi. How you doing?

- Hey, Karchy.

- Why don't you come inside.

- No, no, I forgot my tie.

Listen, I got a list of guys

from the mill who are gonna testify.

- Okay? I can get more if you want to.

- No, this will be enough, this is...

You're gonna get him out of this,
