- I'll do my business.

Hey, whoa, whoa!

Uncle Tony, listen to me, okay?

Because of this f***ing

scumbag, I lost my father.

But I don't wanna

lose you now, okay?

- He deserves to die.

- I know.

If you pull that trigger,

I will cover for you, okay?

But they might not believe me,

and then they're gonna put me

in prison after the fact.

Now this is over.

You did it.

Uncle Tony, I'm begging you.

Please, just put down

the f***ing gun,

and we will deal with this.

I'm going in the front way!

Jimmy, go around the back!

I'm gonna take the inside!

I got two trucks going!

Bobby was working with us

as an informant.

That's how we knew

about Frankie.

Can I talk to you a minute?

Be right back.

So who am I talking to?

A struggling actress?

FBI agent?

Look, I know

how all this looks.

But I promise, if you just

give me a chance to explain.

Just save it, all right?

Okay.

It'll make for good

dinner conversation.

Need you to come by

the precinct,

give me a statement, okay?

You too, G.

No problem.

Come on, let's go home.

What are we gonna tell 'em?

Don't gotta explain anything.

According to the law,

we were totally in the right.

Yeah?

What law would that be?

Zarra's law.

Hey! Uncle Tony,

what's in this?

Gravel, pieces of stone.

You sure that ain't a body?

Nobody you know.

The rope is made of hemp.

It'll dissolve.

The burlap too.

Biodegradable burlap.

That'll leave the rocks

and gravel.

Nice home for the fish.

How long you been doing this?

Been building this

artificial reef now for,

I don't know, six years?

As a lawyer,

I gotta ask you a question.

You got a permit for this?

For what? I'm just

out here at the bay,

minding my own business.

Yeah.

Hey, me and Crystal, we're

going out for dinner tonight.

You wanna join us?

Nah. I don't eat with feds.

Be careful what you say,

Uncle Tony.

You may have to soon.

Look at you.

Is she the one?

Maybe.

She could be.

I don't know.

Someday women may be scarce.

Yeah.

Oh! Casablanca.

Yeah, and look how

Rick Blaine wound up.

You don't wanna be alone

like Rick or like me.

See, I've decided

that retirement isn't me.

I'm looking for a job.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

I'm thinking I might

wanna be an investigator.

Tony Zarra, PI.

Well, that's got

a nice ring to it, huh?

- Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

- Got any leads?

I heard this young lawyer

from Hackensack

might need some help

on his cases.

You got a resume?

Yeah, I got a resume.

Hey, got you again!

Let's load it up there,

Gaetano.
