Finally got to watch this [from Friday night] the opening scene a nightclub where eveyone is partying and drinking, it cuts to a homeless guy hunkering down in the back part of the club. Some drunken guys burst in find him and start harrassing him. He tires to be cool but they egg him on and it gets into an all out brutal beating. They kick and hit him with a baseball bat till he's dead
A girl is watching through the window, and is horrified. The guys then run out, a janitor finds him and calls 911. Danny arrives with his gal partner. He's a Marine, and his dog tags say he's James Phelps, but this is not him. Danny "Who is this guy, and why is he wearing a dead Marines' dog tags"
At hom Frank sees in the daily paper he's wanted for Mayor, the polls say hes more popular than the mayor. He sluffs it off, and continues to drink his coffee~
Danny interview the janitor, the guys name was Michael Oates. Danny gets his records and his gal friend tells him he was into booze and pills, and she hadn't seen him for 3 months. She'd taken him to a rehab center in Vermont, and he checked out after 2 days, "That was the last straw" She gives Danny his box of medals 2 Bronze stars, a Purple Heart, had saved 6 Marines but not his friend James
but he'd kept the Silver Star. When they found him no silver star, those low-lives stole it.
Frank gives Danny some pearls of wisdom "keep your head straight, and don't let this get to you personally" he'd been in Iran~
Danny and partner go to the bar, talk to the bartender. the party the night before was sponsored by Troy, the go to his workplace he didn't show up. They handcuff him, he spills his guts but puts the blame on his two buddies Mark and Cassidy also his boss~
Frank goes to the source of this published poll and they have some serious banter [he works for a cheesy tabloid] Tom Selleck is still so handsome and so distinguished
Danny with Cassidy "I've met Larry and Curly now you Moe":lol:
He called him a "bum" Danny is incensed. "That bum was a high school football star and gave up a scholarshp to fight in the war to protect cowards like you, and when your in prison, I'll visit and see how many smart a.. answers you have":wtf:
He lawyers up, they they find the 3rd perp., so Cassidy had lied about the whole scenerio. Danny finds the wittness Kimberly and she said "They all ran away laughing"
The family dinner, where the whole thing is discussed. If I had dinner with this group, I'd get heartburn~
Danny that night shares his war stories with his understanding wife, and cries~
Danny goes to Cassidy's workplace and trys to arrest him and he attacks him, just like he did Michael, brutal but Danny won and almost hit him with a pipe, but controlled himself. he was all jacked up. this guy is a real piece of work~
Then the last scene Frank tells him how proud he is of him and they smile and are watching the burial of Michael the brave Marine
Such a riveting ep. good show Donnie Walhberg is sensational:thumbsup:
