Liam and Bill Engage In a Screaming Match Laden with Hysteria, Accusations and Warnings

At Bill’s place, Liam agonizes and rants at his father about throwing him in his car after he killed Vinny. He wails, “Do you know what you did?!” Bill knows exactly what he did — he protected his son. Liam hollers that they have to call the police; he needs to tell them what he did. Bill, apoplectic, roars that they’ll never believe it was an accident! He orders Liam to go upstairs and shower; Vinny’s DNA could be all over them. Liam insists he needs to go to the police. Bill screams at him about the consequences for his family and bellows that they’re in this — all the way in — together. “Now get upstairs and shower!”

After the shower, Liam starts protesting again as Bill bags up their clothes and calls them ‘evidence’. Bill goes over the reasons not to call the authorities, but Liam feels he should get to make the call. Bill knows it was unintentional but no one else is going to buy it he took him away from there to save him from a life behind bars. Liam doesn’t know what’s going through his mind, but he’s screwed up! Bill is protecting his son, he can’t lose him. Liam shakes his head.

As they pace around, Bill notes there’s been no news on Vinny’s death yet. He tells Liam that they won’t be able to identify the body right away — he took his wallet and phone. He mutters, “I still have to get rid of the car.” Liam can’t believe this; he made it even worse! He can’t live with it and can’t keep it hidden either. Bill intones, “You can’t tell a soul.” He will bury this and make it disappear. “Whatever I have to do, I will do.” Liam agonizes. Bill repeats they are in this now and there is no looking back.
