With that in mind, Ray turns to perhaps the only man who can help him: Ed Cochran.
Ray obviously doesntwantto work with him, but he has no choice at this point.
The proposition: Get Mickey into a protective wing for homosexual inmates so hell be safe from the Russians.

With the plan underway, Ray goes to see his father.
He fills him in on the details and Mickey is on board.
Sure enough, Mickey gives a pretty convincing interview to the prison official in charge of transfers.
All thats left is for Mickeys family to confirm his statement.
After the prison visit, Ray calls on Ed.
Hes got the file, and its pretty damning.
Someone else took care of the corpse.
The need to find the culprit is urgent, because the Russians are closing in on Mickey.
Later that night, his cellmate keels over in pain.
The Emmy-nominated dramaRay Donovan, everybody!
That happens after Damons first amateur fight, though, where he destroys his opponent despite being hungover.
The kids still learning, but hes got talent.
As good as Damon looks, Hectors health mentally and physically is up in the air.
Hes not looking great, and the presence of Marisol certainly wont help.
Anyway, lets get back to the plot to get Mickey out of prison.
Maybe in three months, he says.
That might not be good enough, but its the deal for now.
With Holt in, Ray and Ed start to track down the guy who hid Fionas body.
First, they waterboard a Hollywood agent named Nick so that get the name.
He says he handed the job over to Ezra Goldman, which brings an astonished look to Rays face.
Of course, the plan is more complicated than that.
Its the kind of dead-eyed stare that can only come from watching a online grid sitcom.
Sure enough, Ed shows up to Shermans trailer to try and get one over on Ray.
He inside looking for the body when he gets a call from Ray.
That leads to Ray saving him, heading inside after he hears gunshots.
Both Cochran and The Texan are shot but alive, leaving Ray to find the body.
It doesnt look so good.
At least Mickey has a future…for now.
Surely the Russians wont stop coming after the Donovans, though.
Such is the cycle of Ray Donovan; solve one problem, create a few more.
