Sounds like everything went according to plan.
JaxThere's a new plan. I just watched my best friend get beaten to death for you. Now, I'm going to get the club to sign off on your cash. But I need Traeger outside. Him knowing I saved his life gives me an internal advantage I'm going to need. And when I'm done, you can send him out the same way you did his kid, 'cause I really don't give a shit.
[smiles] There you go, finding a hidden advantage in an unfortunate circumstance; using pain to take you to the next level. Those are the things that turn players into kings.
What do I do, Jax? I can't raise three kids on my own. I could barely cover me and Piper. How am I supposed to care for those kids and earn a living?
Jax
Just like every other single mother. You get help--friends, family.
My mom lives two hours away; I don't have family up here.
Jax
Let me show you something. [He opens the blinds and shows her various members of the club pouring in] That's your family. Anything you need, you just ask. Anyone says no, they answer to me.
Don't be so sensitive, laddie.
Jax
Grow some balls, you Irish prick. You got a problem with me, you tell me to my face.
All right. I think you're arrogant, selfish, and explosive. Wreckage you caused in Belfast got a man of God and one of my dearest friends killed.
Jax
You talking about the priest?
Aye. Kellan Ashby took me out of the streets of Armagh. Saved my life.
Jax
Right. Gave you the Catholic blessing of the blood? Made you a gangster of Christ?
Jax
This sheriff already thinks these attacks are connected to us. After this, he's gonna have gang task force up our ass. Complicates everything.
None of these attacks are coming out of my camp. I know that for sure.
Jax
Then I need your help finding out who it is. I need a name and I need a 20.'Cause I got to shut this sh1t down.
I'll see what I can find out.
Jax
50.Half of our last mule.
You're an impressive young man.
Jax
Yeah, I get that a lot.
I got a proposal for you and SAMCRO.
Jax
Does it involve children and bonfires?
You are currently hauling back 20, 30 keys?
Jax
30.
If you were to double your haul-back, say 60 keys, I could move half of that in a day.
Jax
Where?
Reno, parts of Vegas. I'd have the Niners distribute.No bigger risk for you.30, 40, 100 keys, it's all the same trafficking charge.
Jax
What's in it for us?
I pay you another 100 on top of what the cartel gives you. We don't take a bite out of any of it.
Jax
I don't know. My crew wants out of the drug game.
What do you want? Listen, you talk to the cartel, run it past your club. In the interim, I'll arrange a sit-down with the Mayans, Lin and the Niners. If you decide it makes sense for SAMCRO, you take the meeting, bring everybody up to speed. If you pass on the deal, we keep things as is. Fair enough?
Jax
Yeah, Okay.
I'll also kick back two percent of my profits on the 30 keys to you. Gentlemen's agreement, just between us.
Jax
You make millions in real estate and other legit trade. Why do you still risk this shit? Is it the rush?
I'm just a businessman, son. My most profitable and most reliable business is narcotics. Always has been. I learned how to do it the right way. With the right people, there is no risk. You let me know.
Jax
Could you give us a minute?
Jax
Thanks.
Jax
I got some new information. [Jax picks up Thomas] Are you gonna tell her or should I?
I love them so much baby.
No one tried to run me off the road. When you called last night I was getting high with Unser. I thought I'd be okay to drive. I just didn't want to miss my chance to be with them. [Tara punches Gemma in the face] I'm sorry.
You're done. You don't call, see or come near my kids again.
You're not getting out of guns, son. The cause needs you. Greater good.
Jax
You know why my old man wanted out?
Don't know. Don't care. Lifetime ago.
Jax
Yeah, it was. But nothing's changed. JT realized there's nothing more dangerous than a gangster who thinks he's got God in his pocket. The cause may have been the greater good at one point, but for guys like you, Jimmy O, it's just killing people with Catholic bullets to line your own pockets.
Jax Teller
[sighs] Sons of Anarchy was started by my father, John Teller. He always wanted a legitimate club. Died pursuing that.
I'm not in a mood for a history lesson. Why don't you get to it, Mr. Teller?
Jax Teller
I'm here to make you an offer.
To make me... [laughs] Wow. You really have some balls, kid.
Jax Teller
I also have an Irishman who sells KG-9s.
Jax Teller
Real IRA. Current kings of the Irish Catholic revolution.
So what are you offering?
Jax Teller
Galen O'Shay. You can check with the feds. He's a big win. I will deliver him with a shipment of guns. Open and shut.
And when and how would you deliver this "big win"?
Jax Teller
It'll happen in the next ten days. The "how" is my job.
It's a very bold proposition. So why don't you tell me what's in it for you.
Jax Teller
Immunity for the MC for all gun charges. Past and present. I want a legitimate club. That can't happen while people try to crush us, ruining all of our business relationships. Let us breathe in Stockton. We won't break the law and the violence stops.
That's it? If you thought you could deliver the IRA, then I figure you would at least also have a personal request.
Jax Teller
I do.You need to look at Tara's case again. Toric was the one connecting the dots that didn't exist. Tara had no idea what Otto was gonna do to that nurse. We both know that.
What I know and what I can prove rarely come together. So...I'm supposed to expedite all of these things on good faith? Just assume it's all real?
Jax Teller
You don't need faith. Just have everything ready to go, and give us the space to put it in motion. If the Irish think we're being tailed, this whole thing implodes. I'll tell you where to find Galan and the guns.
And you and your crew, you just skate away without so much as a slap on the wrist?
Jax Teller
You can slap my wrists until they're bloody, lady. I don't give a shit. I'm giving you a win well above your pay grade. You get your devil and you punch your ticket out of this cesspool. So let's not get too lost in righteousness. I'm the scumbag outlaw, and you're the pillar of justice. And neither one of us likes looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
If I don't hear from you within ten days...I will spend the last seven months in this office making your life as miserable as the law allows. And your wife... she will be in jail until your boys graduate from high school.
No time for discussion, son. We need to close the deal today.
Jax Teller
What's the big rush?
Why I asked you here. Clay's trial has been moved up. They transport him tomorrow.
Jax Teller
Aw, shit.
Aye. It complicates our plan. Gonna need some help.
Jax Teller
We're not part of taking down that transport.
I have the vehicles, the route, the plan. It'll happen without a hitch. I can't get a crew here in time. Need about six of your men.
Jax Teller
And what if we say no?
You really can't, Jackson.
CMConnor Malone
You played me, you bastard, didn't you?
Jax Teller
If I did, I played you right into the number one slot. It's up to you whether you want to stay there. You're a smart, decent guy, Connor. We both know this had to happen. It was gonna be you and me lying on the floor if it didn't. They earned that blood. So let's move past it. So we can both go home to our families.
I know how much you love Tara, and I see how deeply she loves you. Betrayal is a very intense feeling, one that can only be matched by the maternal instinct of a mother protecting her young.
Jax
I don't need a lesson in family feelings. If you have something to say, then say it.
Whatever decisions happen here today, the outcome lands on you. Are you willing to let your family pay the price for your mistakes? Is that what a good man would do? Because if that happens, I promise you son, it's gonna destroy you and everything else you love, and that's not the law in me talking, that's a flawed mother who made a lot of mistakes. You're a husband, and a father, and a man before (gestures to his kutte) all of this. Own your place.
I understand the pain you're in, son. The reason for your silence. I lost a son and a nephew to gang violence. I didn't want anyone arrested. I wanted them all dead. Heartless, cold bullets to the back of the head, just the way they killed my boy. That's a natural reaction. The desire for revenge, it's a part of grieving. The difference is in my world, I knew that those violent desires would never become real. In yours, it's a very likely outcome. We couldn't tie you to either murder. Parole violation (scoffs) The gun wasn't fired. It was in the house. We're gonna let you go. Your mother's here to see you. She can take you home. (chuckles) I've been doing this for over 20 years, and until today, I have never said a word about my personal life to someone on the other side of this table.
Jax Teller
So, why me?
Because I needed help to connect with the man who did the right thing ten days ago! Who knows the importance of family! And that more violence will only destroy what's left of his.
