Life seems pretty normal, then one day the headlines shift.
A well-known socialite has been gunned down outside a snooty hospital.
Could it have something to do with the female fugitives who escaped from the nearby prison?
And what about that raid on the downtown jazz club?
Even if neither side wanted this war, theres no going back from here.
Instead of taking out Lemuel in a hit, Josto arranges to take himinvia a raid orchestrated by Odis.
Its much more civilized!
Thats, he tells Gaetano, how its done.
Josto might not have considered all the repercussions, however.
First, the raid itself plays out brutally.
Temporarily trading away a son is one thing.
Losing one forever thats another matter entirely.
For Loy, its an acceptable loss.
Apart from a few exceptions, hes relied on a mean squint rather than verbal sparring.
He gets it done, and Rock brings the full power of his screen presence to each scene.
Josto has the police on his side.
He also has other factors in his favor.
Americans also love to root for the taker so long as the taker isnt Black.
Theyve got Americas deeply ingrained prejudice on their side, and nothing the Cannons can do will change that.
Josto orders them to keep the peace, but its less a plea than a spiteful demand.
There, Deafy sees a bunch of neatly arranged Hummel figurines and a picture of Odiss murdered fiancee.
Criminals play the game and dream of going straight, whereas outlaws have no such ambitions.
In Zelmares words, there aint nothin organized about our crime, because our crime is freedom.
Like her aunt, Ethelridas gifted at parsing the finer points of language.
As 17th birthdays go, Ethelridas has been pretty lousy.
But its possible Deafy wouldnt have had to get so tough to persuade her.
For now, at least, Oraetta doesnt seem to pose much of a threat to others.
Shes an angel of mercy whos had her wings clipped, at least for the moment.
Thats okay: Gaetanos does enough killing for the both of them this episode.
Gaetano has ruthlessness and fury on his side.
Gaetano might be unhinged, but he seems to be giving Constant ideas.
Constant lays out his sad origin story, but Docs not impressed.
Youre just boys makin a mess, he says.
And one day, Im gonna have to clean it up.
Only that day never comes; Constant shoots him in the back.
If not, Loy certainly does.
Standing over Doctor Senators body, he looks frightened of what happens next.
Okay Then!
RIP Doctor Senator, one of season fours standout characters.
Its a shame, and a bit of a shock, to see him go.
Ethelrida asks, echoingMillers Crossing.
Sometimes decor can do a lot of work establishing a character.
No ghost this week.
Is he taking Ethelridas birthday off?
Mort Kellerman shows up personally to collect those guns for his Fargo operations.
How good is the jazz combo in the opening scene?
So good they can play Art Blakeys Moanin eight years before Blakey recorded the song.
