Smallscreen - Brotherhood

Providence, Rhode Island: The city has two sons. Only one can rule The Hill.

Set in an Irish neighborhood in Providence, the series reflects around two brothers on opposite sides of the law: one a gangster (Jason Isaacs) and the other a politician (Jason Clarke).

The last Episode 11 - "MATTHEW 22:10"

Fresh from jail, Moe Riley is ordered by Freddie Cork to kill Michael by the end of the big Irish wedding. When Tommy discovers this, Freddie threatens to expose Tommy's corruption if he warns Michael. Tommy begs Michael to leave but won't say why. Michael refuses. Declan realizes his boss has told Marty Trio to get Tommy on tape saying something incriminating. Declan warns Tommy, but feels so guilty that he gets rip-roaring drunk. Eileen has a wonderful time at the wedding, drinking, smoking pot, flirting, but a chance encounter changes her perspective on everything. Finally, in a drunken rage, Declan confronts Michael when he catches Michael slipping a bribe to his partner Ralph.
