Season 5[]
"Andere Pescare"[]
SAMCRO member Frankie 'Diamonds', fleeing his club and the law, pays Pirelli for mob protection and is allowed to hole up in his cabin. When his former comrades come looking for him at one of Pirelli’s clubs, they are forbidden from wearing their kuttes inside, which starts a brawl. After that, they inform Pirelli that Frankie stole money from them and their associates, the Galindo Cartel and the True IRA. Pirelli agrees to turn over Frankie in exchange for the money.
When Frankie learns that SAMCRO is on the way and that Pirelli has sold him out, he kills the mob enforcer watching him. Clarence 'Clay' Morrow crashes a van into the cabin and causes it to explode. When Pirelli arrives and sees his associate dead, he shoots Frankie in the head. Afterwards, if SAMCRO compensates him for the damage done to his poker club and cabin, he is willing to call it even.
