Vincent's guys shot him,

didn't make it.

What the hell happened

out there?

They were already there

before we got there.

We were ambushed.

What the f*** is going on here?

Take Michael home. I want him locked

down, nothing happens to him.

Okay.

Michael!

Also, Yuri called.

He wants to meet.

Like I said before,

you buy us time,

then I will talk

to Alexander personally.

Yeah, Dad?

- You're going home with Artur.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying with her.

Get in the f***ing car,

right now.

Come on, let's go.

Yuri, we had trouble.

Vazgen's guys showed up,

the girl got away.

Okay.

Mmkay.

Michael, is everything okay?

Take him to the kitchen

and watch him.

Everything is fine.

Don't you dare give me that.

Where's Vazgen?

- Listen.

Everything is under control.

Vazgen is taking care of things.

Vazgen's taking care of things?

Vazgen's always taking care

of things, isn't he?

Keeping me in the dark, leaving

me here to worry about my family,

not knowing what's going on! I do

not know what's going on! Diana.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Don't let anything happen

to them.

Please.

He's gonna stay with you.

Gotta go.

Old friend.

Yuri.

Sorry we have to meet like this.

What can we do?

Cognac?

Sure.

You know, it just

came to my mind.

We should be running things

around here.

You said you wanted to talk.

I guess you already know.

Vazgen's son killed Boris,

and I need to know how

we can resolve things.

Is it you or Alexander

that wants to know?

We want to know.

The way I heard,

is that Boris pulled a gun,

and Michael defended himself.

Then we have

two different stories.

So...

how you want it to resolve?

Now see...

we expect something substantial,

and, uh...

we won't look other way.

I understand,

but you know,

Vazgen is not gonna

give up his son.

Of course.

I expected this answer.

But, I want to repeat myself,

something very generous

has to be offered.

I'll talk to Vazgen,

see what he says.

Good.

So, when you think

we will know the answer?

Soon.

Soon.

You know I can't hold Alexander

back for too long, you know.

Nice place, Yuri.

She was married?

I didn't know.

Things just got out of hand,

you know?

You cannot tell Mom,

she'll flip.

Flip?

She'll have a heart attack!

Do you love her?

Yeah.

I used to...

take her to, uh, Point Mino,

just talk for hours.

Now, I don't even know

if I'll ever see her again.

I'm sure Dad will try to figure

something out. It's gonna be okay.

I gotta take this.

Sure.

Thanks.

My son been in

here before with this girl?

Yeah, a couple of times.

So, why didn't you reach out to

Artur before it got to this point?

I thought it was

just some fling.

And tonight?

It looked serious.

- Did you know she was Boris' wife?

No, I had no idea.

Then how did he come

to find 'em here?

I figured he got tipped off.

Who?

Couldn't say.

You know, Carlos,

I value loyalty above

everything else, right?

If I find out you

have a hand in this,

even Ricardo's not gonna

be able to save you.

You know a guy named Vincent?

Runs some club on the West Side?

Yeah.

Where do I find him?

What's he gotta do with this?

I guess that's your business.

Who's he connected to?

He's a freelancer.

You know, contracts,

ransoms, anything dirty.

You sure he's independent?

I heard that, back in the day, he

was connected on the East Coast.

But now?

Not sure.

Don't forget what I told you.

Yeah, it's me.

Meet me at Main and Ocean Park

on the West Side.

We're gonna pay Vincent a visit.

What the f*** you doing?

All right, all right!

Ahh, what the f*** you doing?!

I don't know who you are,

but I've heard your name

a lot tonight.

Now, if you lie to me,

my friend here is gonna hurt you.

Understand?

I do.

You introduced a Russian girl

to my son, why?

I don't know, I mean, I

introduce people all the time.

W- What's his name?

Okay! Okay, okay, I introduced them

- Answer!

I introduced 'em!

What's the big deal?

You had no idea

who's wife she was?

I- I run a club, man. I just introduce

people. That's kinda what I do.

Are you really that stupid?

Who you working for?

Nobody, man.

I don't even know

what you're talking about.

Answer the question, or I'm gonna

crack your f***ing head open!

Who wanted her dead?

Who? I...

I- I don't know, man...

I don't know.

Who're you protecting, you piece of sh*t?

- God damn it, man!

Who are you protecting?!

- I'm cooperating here, man! My f***ing head...

F***, man...

Alexander ordered the hit.

50 G's... 50 G's for the girl,

and a hundred...

And a hundred for what?

For your son, man.

Don't! Don't! Don't!

You were gonna kill my son?!

- No!

No, no, no, no!

I was gonna do the girl,

man, that's it!

I was just gonna do the girl, I

swear to God! I know who you are!

I would never go against you.

I would never go against you,

man, no way!

It was just gonna be

a quick 50 G's, man.

That's it...

You scared me,

I thought it was Mom.

She's probably coming,

so better get your butt to bed.

Wait, what are you doing?

It's that girl, huh?

David, don't say anything.

My lips are sealed.

That's why I love you.

Jesus! What's with you guys?

Get out of my room!

Listen, if anything happens, or if Mom

and Dad ask you where Michael went,

you have to tell them he's at the Point.

What Point?

Point Mino,

where Dad takes you, you idiot.

I can't. I just promised Michael

I wouldn't say anything.

It doesn't matter! Michael's in trouble,

and Dad might need to find him.

Just do what I say, okay?

I'm gonna follow him,

just in case.

Dude, your family's weird.

That's it, man.

That's it. That's all it was.

Yeah?

It was just a quick 50 G's.

- Okay.

That's it, man...

You know, just...

- We gotta go.

Listen to me,

I'm gonna say this once.

You leave tonight,

and you don't come back.

- Okay.

'Cause if you do,

my face will be the last thing

you'll see.

Understand?

Good.

I'm gonna leave you something

to remember me by.

No, don't!

Don't!

Oh, God!

No, what are you doing?!

Oh, my God!

Oh... my God.

Let's go.

Like it, tough guy?

So, Vazgen pays me a visit.

You see?

What about you, tough guy, huh?

You see? You see?!

So, he knows, Yuri.

He knows! I mean, he hasn't

figured out the whole thing yet,

but it's just a matter of time.

So, what did you tell him?

Nothing.

Exactly as we had agreed.

Did he talk to the girl yet?

- He did not.

Okay.

- I'd probably be dead right now.

Like I said,

it's just a matter of time.

Then... Then make sure

he doesn't.

I want her dead.

Understand?

I'll take care of it.

- Okay, take care of it.

I'll take care of it personally, but it's

gonna cost you more, you understand?

Just get this done.

Who the f*** is this guy

right here, Yuri?

Hey, listen.

Don't worry about

who this guy is.

You have a job to do,

take care of the girl.

And this time, no f*** ups,

you understand?

The minute you're done,

you call me.

That's all you have to do.
