Say it.

Yeah, we're clear.

- Sit down!

- Don't you dare...

I'll f..king shoot you.

Get the file!

All right, hero, let's get back

into this.

I assume you know this man.

Malik Saidi.

What do you know about him, Jake?

Claimed to be part of some

terrorist group.

Took a classroom full of

ten year old kids hostage.

We tried everything.

We couldn't save the kids...

...but I guess you guys

saw the rest of it on TV.

And did you find any evidence that

he was part of this...

...terrorist group?

- Actually, no, we didn't.

- What did you find?

He was born in Pakistan.

He traveled back and forth

quite a bit.

We assumed that's where he made

most of his connections.

Back in Boston, we didn't really

find much of anything...

...just a little C4 left back in

his apartment.

Look at me.

F..king look at me!

Tell me what I need to know

and it stops.

Give me the gun.

His hand.

Wait, wait! Wait! Wait!

The evidence you found was

planted there.

It's true, Jake.

Malik Saidi was clean.

You and your men shot an innocent

man and you triggered that bomb.

A guy who kills kids can't be

called innocent in my books.

What if I told you he didn't

kill those children?

What are you saying?

What are you saying?

Are you that blind you can't see

the evidence right in front of...

...your f..king face?

I don't buy it.

I don't buy it.

Jake, why don't you call

Anton Fisher?

Ask him about Malik Saidi.

See what he says.

What would Fisher know

about Saidi?

Do it. Call Kesler. Tell Fisher to

tell you about Saidi. Do it.

Okay. Okay. I'll do it.

Kes?

Yeah, Jake?

We got him. Listen to this.

Tell him what you just told us.

I'm part of a group called SNOW.

The group was created to finance

my brother's campaign and...

...manipulate the public.

What have you done?

Bribery. Blackmail.

Threats, payoffs...

...whatever was needed to make

sure the campaign was a success.

Did you get that, Jake?

Karl Fisher is in on it.

- Tell me about Malik Saidi.

I'm done talking here, man.

I'm a f..king dead man.

- It's okay. Tell him.

- Malik... Malik Saidi was...

...paid by SNOW.

- What did he do for you?

- He was hurtin' for cash so...

...I recruited him to move

moneybags.

We ended up stealing all the money

that was involved and...

...Saidi was left with a

debt that he couldn't repay.

You set him up.

We made him an offer

he couldn't refuse.

You sent him to the

Dumont school.

F..k that man,

that was not my idea.

You had Saidi claiming to be a...

...terrorist and he took all those

kids hostage. Why? What for?

It was all part of the

bigger plan.

Listen, man, the people needed...

They needed a...

...push this thing, for my brother

and his ideas.

Really? The whole f..king country's

falling into the hands of...

...blacks, latinos,

religious freaks.

We gave 'em a f..king push, man.

The people needed a push so

they could see that.

That's it, that's all.

F..k off.

Don't give me that f..king look.

I'm not the f..kin' monster here.

I'm a f..king patriot!

The country's at war and...

...nobody wants to do a

f..kin' thing about it.

So I do something and you give that

f..kin' look? Right.

- Jake, I guess you got that.

- Kes, Kes, listen to me.

You remember those attacks

the last couple of years?

We couldn't

find anything on Saidi...

...all the investigations that

didn't lead to anything...

...you remember that?

What do you think, maybe...

- Okay, hold on.

- You and your group were...

...behind those other attacks

on the city, right?

No f..king way. Go f..k

yourself, man. I'm done talking.

Go.

- We're just gettin' started.

- Motherf..ker.

Kes, listen to me, we're running

out of time.

Call me back when this piece of

sh*t tells you something.

My God.

Who are you?

How do you know?

I'll tell you this...

When life no longer has...

...any meaning, revenge becomes

its own reward.

Yeah well, I've done...

...everything you guys have asked

me to do, right?

I believe you're not lying

anymore. And I'm promising you...

...justice will be served, that's

what I do, I'm a cop...

...but you gotta promise me that

Henry, my daughter leave...

...this house right now.

- Let's face it, Jake.

We're not done here.

I'm glad you...

...finally opened your eyes but, no

one's leaving this house until...

...it's finished.

Anton Fisher's gonna tell us

exactly who's behind this...

...any minute.

Then, it ends.

Not exactly.

We don't want Anton Fisher...

...buying his way out of jail.

Let's face it, Karl Fisher is a

very powerful...

...very influential politician.

Even if his brother does testify,

then what?

This conspiracy's gonna blow

up. Everybody's gonna see it.

Everybody.

You just don't get it, do you?

Anton Fisher has already confessed.

He and his group have done...

...all the dirty work for

Karl Fisher, even...

...killing innocent children.

No.

He is not living one more day.

Yeah. He is your key witness

to the whole conspiracy.

See, that's your problem, Jake.

You believe in a justice system

that has let this man get away...

...with this for years.

No. I'm making my own justice.

Okay. Hey, David...

You can't be agreeing

with this, man.

Sorry, Jake, but...

...Anton Fisher deserves to die.

Right. Yeah, I get it.

Little brother does...

...everything his big brother

tells him, I get it...

...how it works, yeah.

Last call, Jake. We want Kesler to

execute Fisher.

- Please, stop!

- Anytime, just tell me...

Just tell me what I need to

know. And I stop right here...

...right now. I swear.

- Stop bleeding.

Let me get you something

for the pain.

Okay, another one.

Untie Mr. Fisher and give me

the f..king phone.

Okay. Sure.

Go f..k yourself.

F..k!

What the f..k?

How'd that feel, cowboy?

Next one's for Henry.

And I've got plenty left for

your daughter.

This is wrong.

Looks like it missed the bone.

Gee, thanks.

I'm doing the best I can.

You call this doing what you can...

- I said I'm f..king helping.

- What are you, a nurse?

Get your ass upstairs

and check on the girl.

You said no one gets hurt!

I said check on the girl.

Go!

David! Please...

Don't touch her.

- It's okay.

I'm just checking to make sure

she's still sleeping. That's all.

About that phone call, now that

you know I'm serious.

- I'm gonna kill you.

- I'm right here.

Jake. We have a problem.

What?

She's fine. She's sleeping.

- What?

- We did it, little brother.

Anton Fisher's dead.

- So it's over.

- What's over?

- Nothing's over.

We still got a target out there.

My precinct can back us up.

No, Jake, you were right.

It was never about justice.

It was about revenge.

I wanted Anton Fisher...

...dead. It's not like

he didn't deserve it.

What happened with you

and Fisher?

I have my reasons. He's not the

only one responsible...

...for these killings.

- He did something really bad...

...to you, didn't he?

- Fisher destroyed a lot of lives.

Mine was just one.

- So now you blame me...
