Vic and Shane in “Unfinished Business”

Mackey

How you enjoying your freedom?

Breathing deep, breathing easy.

Yeah, not for long. You're about to get on your horse and ride to our rescue.

Let me check my schedule there, Shane. Oh, sorry, I'm booked through next weekend.

Do you think I'm joking, shithead? I'm in a jam, which means we're both in a jam.

Not anymore. I cut those strings, baby. You and Annie Oakley are officially on your own.

Bullshit.

Well, if it were bullshit, I'd be pulling your ass out of yet another Vendrell bear trap. You chew your own goddamn leg off from now on.

I don't think you're listening to me. I need something from you.

[Pulling up on a driveway] And you're not listening to me, Shane. Ronnie and I work for I.C.E. now. Yeah, I cut the deal last night. Full immunity for everything all of us ever did. I even used your little black book with all our dirty deeds as a guide. You forgot a few things. You know that?

[shocked] Bullshit.

Afraid not. Trouble with you, you're always trying to be as smart as me. Now I'm walking away clean, and you're the pathetic asshole headed for Antwon Mitchell Ville.

You know, you always thought you were twice the family man I was, right? The great dad, a loving, misunderstood husband, right? Your family loves you so much, Vic, why'd they turn on you, huh? Corrine's working with the cops, buddy. She answered one of our calls and handed the phone over to Claudette, who tried to get us to come in, with you as the big catch. [Vic is shocked, just as Ronnie arrives in his car] You know that? The mother of your children has been playing you. She would rather see you go to prison than to hug one of your own kids again. Whatever happens to me and Mara, at least we'll be together for it. Who you got, Vic? Tell me! Who you got?

[seething] When you and queen bitch are serving your mandatory life sentences apart, I'm gonna check in on Jackson and this other kid once a year on their birthdays. I'm gonna tell them some good old stories about ma and pa, muss their hair, take them out for an ice cream...

[angry] You don't even get to look at my kids! Ever! Do you understand that?!

Yeah, well, I'll send you a postcard from Space Mountain. [Vic hangs up the phone, while Shane angrily hangs up.]
