Blood of Redemption

Get down, get down!

There he is!

Get that son of a b*tch!

My job was to keep people alive.

But right now, I have

a different job.

Protecting people wasn't easy...

but it was simple.

Don't drink.

Stay sharp.

And be prepared to take

a bullet from your client.

This is the story of a dead man.

When did you get back?

Couple of weeks ago.

So this is where

you've been living.

It's not the Biltmore, I know.

No, it's definitely

not the Biltmore.

Want to sit down?

Yeah, yeah.

- Coat?

- Oh, thank you.

So, um, you want a drink?

That would be great.

It's your favorite.

So, where've you been?

I had some thinking to do.

Look, you're the only one left

I can trust.

I need your help.

Sure, yeah, anything.

You're not gonna have any?

I don't drink, remember?

This is why I brought you here.

Oh, my God.

Whoever put

your boyfriend in jail

and killed his father

is on this wall.

I just can't make sense of it.

Not yet.

I can't believe this.

You can help me

fill in the blanks.

Let's take a look at the family.

Two patriarchs who join forces:

Serg, the politician

to care public affairs;

Hayden, the businessman.

They had their differences,

but they respected each other.

Sergio, you taught me

the most important

lessons in life...

honor, respect,

a man's word is his bond.

And on top of all that...

he made me his partner.

- So phase, your gasses.

- Same!

To my friend,

my partner, my family.

- To Sergio!

- Salud!

God bless.

I consider myself

a very lucky man.

Senator Roswald, it is an honor

and a pleasure to have you here.

Together, we have built

what I am proud to call...

a small empire.

Still...

my most endearing

and gratifying achievements

are my two boys.

Although, like his late mother,

may she rest in peace...

my youngest boy is late.

Fellas.

How's it going?

- Hey, big guy... Hey.

What are you doing out here?

A little extra

security doesn't hurt.

Well, enjoy the cold, huh?

I got something for you, Kurt.

Is it my birthday?

- What's going on?

- Take a look.

My mother.

I've never seen this before.

She gave it to me

before she got sick.

I want you to have it.

You may be our head of security,

but I've always thought

of you as a brother.

You know that, right?

My six-foot-five blonde brother.

Always will.

Thanks.

- Have fun in there.

- I will.

- Don't drink too much.

- Not too much.

- Ahh, there he is!

- Pop!

Hey, hey. Hey. My boy!

- How are you?

- I'm glad you could make it.

I'm sorry.

- Did I miss your toast?

- Ah, you didn't miss anything.

- Good to see you!

- Good to see you.

You missed the toast but you

brought the butter.

That all changed the day

of Sergid's 70th birthday.

Hmm, Senator Roswald.

Well, I hate to be

the bearer of bad news,

especially on your birthday.

You said you had

something urgent

you wanted to discuss.

We're gonna have

to rethink our operation.

What do you mean "rethink"?

There's a new man

working on the bureau.

He can't be bought.

So if I can't protect you,

then you're going

to have to stop.

I'll have to get back to you.

There's nothing to get back to.

You do as I say.

I was always around.

Watchful eyes and ears.

You hear things.

The senator wasn't

the only one to bring bad news.

Serg... I, uh...

I've got a nephew.

His name is Campbell.

He's my... my, uh,

oldest sister's boy,

God rest her soul.

Anyway, he got into a spot

of trouble in Liverpool.

I'd like to bring

him to the States,

and, uh, you know, put

him under our wing.

Give him a job.

Get into the business.

Is that all right with you?

Sure.

Thanks.

Come here!

Have you got a speech

impediment, huh?

See, I never heard

it when you was

chatting up my girlfriend.

Ha-ha.

Now we're getting serious.

Come on!

Leave me alone!

I don't want any trouble!

Neither do I.

That's why I'm gonna

have to kill you.

I'm going to have to take this.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'll be there.

We're all concerned.

We need to shut

down the operation.

You've been drinking.

There's been a major

change at the bureau.

We'll be losing our protection.

What about Hayden?

He'll have to accept

my decision.

We're all a part

of the same family.

He's not my family.

You know what I mean.

This isn't the time

to talk about this, Dad.

It's the perfect time.

It's times like now that we see

what really matters.

You

and your brother's happiness.

That's all I really care about.

End it now.

Get out with Loryn...

while you still can.

Too many moving parts.

This won't end well.

You let me worry about that.

After that party, I never

saw the family happy again.

You got yourself

a real princess here.

- Men have killed for less.

- You?

You wouldn't hurt a fly.

You wanna see some real action?

Come and see me box

tomorrow night.

What are you talking about?

He thinks he's Oscar De La Hoya.

It means a lot to me.

You know I don't like violence.

But we'll do what we can.

See what I've gotta put up with?

You gotta put up with it?

Am I annoying you?

Okay, okay, awkward moment.

I take the hint.

What's wrong?

My father...

wants to end all of it.

What do you want?

How you doing, Uncle?

Oh, boy.

- Long time, no see.

- Oh, gosh.

- Yeah, you look terrific.

- Thanks.

Cheers.

- A little jammed up, eh?

- Yeah.

All right.

Look, I spoke to Sergio.

You're gonna work with Quinn.

But you gotta promise me.

I want you to be low-key.

Respectful.

I want them to trust you.

- Okay?

- Yeah.

This is not London.

This is the States now.

Rules are different.

It wasn't my place

to advise the family.

My job was to make sure

they got from "A" to "B"

in one piece.

But letting a thug like Campbell

into the business

was too much of a risk.

And my job is all about risk

assessment.

A guy like Campbell was never

gonna be satisfied

chauffeuring us

around for very long.

Quinn must have known that.

The family's main source

of revenue was illegal gambling

and identity theft.

But Quinn had finally talked

his old man into branching out.

To the printing business.

If it all worked out, they were

gonna make millions.

It's hard just to walk

away from that.

Let's add Boris to the equation.

He's the one who set

up the delivery

at the warehouse.

Printing the money

is only half the job.

You need someone

to circulate the bills

into the open market.

Someone like Boris.

Someone like Boris.

This is the kind of meeting

where things can suddenly

take a turn for the worse.

Quinn.

It's good to see you again.

Always a pleasure, Boris.

How's your father?

He's retiring.

We lost our protection and...

he doesn't want

the family engaged

in illegal activity any longer.

What about you?

Excellent work.

What did I do to deserve

such a gift from Sergio?

Well, your operation

is light and efficient,

he trusts you.

So I'm the sacrificial lamb.

Oh, no.

You're the wolf, Boris.

Everyone knows that.

- How much?

- 30%.

You mean I take all the risks,

and you get 30%?
