At a loss for words on this one--something about it just didn't click with me. The story has something to do with a lawyer consolidating the various numbers rackets, while also something something about his brother, and...it was just so forgettable. Probably worth a rewatch, maybe I was distracted.

Black sheep like to make everybody else look black.
