Jax and Clay in “Unfinished Business”

Jax

(putting a knife to Clay's throat) I read the letters. [Clay groans] I know you killed my father.Piney.You tried to kill Tara.

Clay

Please, Son.

Jax

- Don't call me that.The only reason I am not slicing you open is 'cause I need this cartel deal to happen. And those prick Irishmen won't deal with anyone else.

Clay

- You gotta let me tell you--

Jax

- You're done telling me anything. Now I tell you. You're stepping down as president. You can sit at the table. You can have a vote. But that's all. You keep the Irish happy, and you stay out of my goddamn way. If you don't, I'll let the club read the letters. [Clay grunts]

Jax

And I let Opie tell everyone you murdered his old man.

Clay

Who gave you the letters?

Jax

Doesn't matter.

Clay

Gemma?

Jax

You stay away from Tara and my mother.

Clay

- This is all a mista--[groaning in pain]

Jax

- Do you understand? [pressed the knife until Clay bleeds]

Clay

Ah [Clay groans] Yeah. [grunts]

Clay

You may as well kill me.

Jax

[laughs] You're already dead.
