Tortured Page #3

Forty years.

I knew him from the neighborhood.

I introduced him to Mickey.

That's how long ago I knew him.

Now, please,

please tell him

that I'm trying to stay the course.

You got that?

And I got a guy

who wants a sniff of something real potent.

So stay laxed. Okay?

Laxed. You got it?

I got it.

Most importantly,

tell him that I understand what I did,

and that...

I'd appreciate him letting me out of here

as soon as I repay him.

- He's the one that's got you in here, huh?

- What?

You think these f***ing a**holes

make any kind of decisions whatsoever?

All right, pal.

- Don't f*** up, kid.

- Release the visitor.

- He never forgets.

- Let's go, Rusick!

- He never forgets.

- Rusick!

Yes, I'll have him call you back. Thank you.

Director Cole's office.

Yes, he's in a meeting. Yes, thank you.

Agent Cole.

I don't think he'd like me telling you this,

but...

He talks about you all the time.

We were all praying for you

while you were over there.

I appreciate your prayers.

Kevin, get your butt in here.

- Good to see you, Son.

- Good to see you, Dad.

- Looking good.

- Thank you.

Welcome to Washington.

You know, I get calls

from the leadership of both parties

asking me

if you'd consider running for Congress.

They just wanna know,

are you a Democrat or a Republican?

Ask them what the difference is, these days.

Just like that, Kevin Cole is out of politics.

So, what's this I hear

about you being a field agent?

I don't know. What did you hear?

Kevin, why?

Come on, Dad.

We've been over this a thousand times.

Why the hell do you always insist

on doing everything the hard way?

Because I'm your son.

And if I take anything easy,

then for the rest of my life,

people will say that I got there because

my dad's the Director of the Bureau.

And besides, taking the hard way

is the way you took, too.

Yeah. Well...

I've been reading your latest brief

on the Ziggy Operation.

Yeah?

- I want you to pull yourself out.

- Pull myself out?

- I just got noticed.

- That's why it's time.

The next thing to happen

is you're gonna get compromised,

and then we'll have to pull you out.

Poor mark like that on your record,

it's gonna spoil your chances

for a quick promotion.

But a success could ensure it.

Kevin, listen to me.

I never told you not to enlist,

not to go to Afghanistan.

But I'm telling you now,

this is a really bad move.

You have no idea what Ziggy's capable of.

I know you know his organization

and the scum he does business with,

that he trades IEDs for heroin.

What you don't know

is how deep he can get his hooks in you.

I do. Twenty-five years ago,

I got that close to him,

and I still couldn't bring him down.
