Why couldn't you

just stay in the car?

Spencer, why couldn't

you just stay in the car?

But as I'm sure

you're well aware,

based on what your life looks like,

things don't always go according to plan.

You set all this up?

You planned all this?

I wanna do things my way.

My father, Lenny,

they had their

own plans. So...

So when they didn't let you

into the family business,

you killed 'em?

I did. Yeah. Well,

my associate killed them.

But I set it up, I hired him.

It's my idea.

Speaking of my associate, I don't believe

you two have formally been introduced.

Spence, I'd like you

to meet Mr. Garen Muller.

Garen, this is

detective Spencer Soleno.

Pleasure.

Go f*** yourself.

Ooh.

I can't believe you killed

your own flesh and blood.

Your brother and your father?

You're a heartless bastard.

Heartless? Ouch.

Yeah, but motivated.

Ruthless.

Conniving.

Manipulative.

See, those are the adjectives

that we respect in my family.

And that's what you have to have

if you're going to be

respected in this business.

That and a big

f***ing checkbook. Eh?

See,

that's where he's wrong.

You ain't got no loyalties.

Ain't nobody gonna trust you.

What the f*** do you

know about loyalty?

You're a crooked cop!

Oh, god.

How long have you been on my father's tit?

How many years?

It doesn't matter.

I know what I am.

I accepted that years ago.

Yeah? What's that?

I'm a dishonest whore.

But I'm loyal.

And you...

You think you've

got it all figured out.

But you're just a child

playing with fire.

You done jumped off the deep end

and you don't even know

how to f***ing swim.

Thank you, Spencer.

You're making this even easier for

me than I thought it would be.

I'm done with this guy.

Put a bullet in him.

What the hell are you

waiting for? Kill him.

He's not on the list.

It's my list.

I make the list.

He's on the list now.

Come on!

He's not on my list.

Okay.

Money. It's always

about the money, right?

I'll pay you whatever you want.

No.

No? What,

because he's a cop?

Fine. I'll do it myself.

What the f***?

Your friend is right, Tevi.

We had a deal.

Our deal is complete.

I have a new deal.

Who with?

Garvans.

When they heard about a plan

to take out your family,

they wanted in.

They paid me double

to take you out, too.

Hey. Hey, man,

from one whore to another,

he's a bad motherf***er.

I enjoyed that.

You're welcome.

But I'm not a whore like you.

Come on, man.

We are whores.

It's not about the money for me.

Are you ready?
