[at the crime scene, Sean finds Jimmy screaming and being held by several police officers]

Jimmy Is my daughter in there? Is she in there? Is she in there?

Jimmy Is my daughter in there?

[fighting the officers]

Jimmy Motherfuckers! Is that my daughter in there? Is she in there?

Jimmy Sean! Is that my daughter in there? Is that my daughter in there? No! No! No! No, aagggh, no! No! Oh, God! Oh, God! No!

Jimmy Markum They put her in a bag.

Theo What's that?

Jimmy Markum That's what Katie looked like when I saw her in the morgue. Like they put her in a bag and then they beat the bag with pipes. Janie died in her sleep, all due respect, but there you go. She went to sleep, she never woke up. Peaceful.

Theo You don't need to talk about Janie.

Jimmy Markum My daughter was murdered. They put a gun to her. As we stand here, she's on an autopsy slab getting cut open by scalpels and chest spreaders, and you're talking to me about domestic fucking responsibility? Good to see you, Theo.

John O'Shea No, please stop!

[Brendan punches him and kicks him in the face a few times]

Brendan Harris I'm comin' back!

[concerning Dave]

Celeste Boyle He's been acting kind of nuts lately. I'm almost afraid of him. Do you know something?

Jimmy Markum I know he was taken in by the cops this morning. I know he saw Katie the night she was murdered. Didn't tell me about it until after the cops questioned him. And I know he's got a hand that looks like it's been punching a fucking wall. Is there anything else I should know?

Sean Devine [on the phone with Lauren] Okay. "Hey Sean, how was your day?" Oh me? I'm tired of wishing things made sense. I'm tired of caring about some dead girl, and there's just gonna be another one after her. Sending killers to jail is just sending them where they've been heading all their dumb, pathetic lives. The dead are still dead.

[last lines]

Annabeth Markum Their daddy's a king. And a king knows what to do and *does* it. Even when it's hard. And their daddy will do whatever he has to for those he loves. And that's all that matters. Because everyone is weak, Jimmy. Everyone but us. We will never be weak. And you, you could rule this town. And after Jimmy, let's take the girls down to the parade. Katie would like that.

🧡

Annabeth Markum Celeste called looking for you. She was worried something might happen. She told me about Dave. Told me what she told you. What kind of wive says those things about her husband? And why'd she run to you?

Jimmy Markum Why did not you call?

Annabeth Markum Because it's like I told the girls. Their daddy is a king. And a king knows what to do and does it.

[after Dave comes in with blood all over him]

Dave So, I'm walking to my car, and this guy comes up to me and he asks for a light. I say I don't smoke. He says neither does he. So, my heart starts clocking a buck fifty, 'cause there's no one around but me and him.

Celeste Boyle [Celeste sits to bandage his stomach] Oh, my God.

Dave So that's when I see the knife. He says, 'Your wallet or your life, bitch. I'm leaving with one of 'em.'

Celeste Boyle That's what he said?

Dave Yeah! So I try to brush past him, and that's when he slices me.

Celeste Boyle I thought you said that you swung on him first.

Dave Jesus, Celeste, can I tell the fuckin' story?

[She realizes now that he's crying]

Celeste Boyle I'm sorry, babe. Ssshh.

Dave I went fuckin' nuts on him, baby. I went off! I bashed his head on the parking lot. There was blood everywhere, and I might 'a' killed him!

Celeste Boyle Killed him!

[She sees that he's sobbing and stands up to hug him]

Celeste Boyle Ssshh.

Dave It makes you feel alone, you know, hurtin' somebody?

Radio Announcer #1 ...before the end of the season last year, and then re-injured it in spring training on a terrific game-saving play. You know, I was talking with...

Sean's Father What time is this going on?

Jimmy's Father 7:30 is the pre-game.

Sean's Father Who'd you say was pitching tonight?

Jimmy's Father Tiant's pitching.
