You need to be careful with how you play

with adults because I don't play.

- Is that right?

- Yeah, that's right.

Better be glad you like hot dogs.

I don't trust people

who don't like a good dog.

How you like yours?

I don't know. Ketchup?

Ketchup? That's all?

- I'd like mine with the works, please.

- What's "the works"?

Everything.

- Two with the works.

- Two?

What you gonna eat?

You better make that four.

Yeah, I could eat these all day long.

I don't even want to know what's in them.

How about we, um, sit on that bench

over there...

...and knock these puppies out?

Mm... I got a better idea.

[]

This is where I come to escape.

Pretty cool, huh?

Beyond cool.

Yeah.

Before she left us...

...my mom used to take me here.

Used to sit out on the water.

Big sack lunches.

Feed the seagulls.

My father was killed.

A year ago.

After that, I went to go stay

with my grandma till she died.

And then what?

They wanted to send me

to some home for boys.

Who?

Those a**holes at Child Services.

I ran.

Lived in the parks for some time.

Then one of Uncle's boys found me.

I guess you know the rest.

[SNIFFS]

Finish your hot dog.

[]

Hey. Listen up.

I gotta talk to you for a second. Look.

Listen, as long as you're here,

you keep that door locked...

...and don't you open it.

Don't go anywhere.

You being here is our secret, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

- No, no, no, look at me.

No "yeah, yeah." This is serious. Okay?

I got it.

"I got it." Let me see that ball.

Stop bouncing it on my wall.

[LAUGHING]

I'll be back.

What did I say?

You want me to come back over there?

[SILENCED GUNSHOTS]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

TOM:

Cover him. Cover!

TOM:

They got five of our best guys.

They put a bullet in Mateo's shoulder.

Derek's in intensive care.

It could've been you or me, Pop.

There's only one thing these animals

understand, and that's an eye for an eye.

I say we hit the Kozlovs back hard now.

Slow...

...down.

We're not starting a war...

...until we're absolutely sure it was them.

You wouldn't have said that

20 years ago.

- What are you trying to say?

- I'm not trying to say anything.

If you can't handle it, I will.

Omar, what are you thinking?

- Kozlovs.

- Me too. I need proof.

I got it, boss.

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

...your badge? He has a gun. Shoot him!

[BUZZING CONTINUES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Who the hell are you?

I'm Danny.

Who are you?

- What are you doing here?

- What are you doing here?

Looking for Mary.

She's not answering her phone.

You live around here?

Yeah. Jamaica Plain.

So how you know Mary?

Let's try this again.

How you know Mary?

From around.

- How you know Mary?

- We work together.
