and even Charles. Who?

We lost him.

F***!

You guys all right?

Tell him what you

told me about the cab.

This guy

in the building,

he saw a man take this photo

from the stairwell.

Then they see him get into a cab.

A gypsy cab.

Paul was there, too.

He found out the same thing.

It must've led him to something,

because he was wasted for it.

Find out where

the cab went.

What did you do that for?

What I do what for?

Go looking

with the pictures.

You've only been on this crew

a month longer than I have.

What if all this sh*t

that's happening to Alphonse

is because of something that

went down before you came, huh?

This is an opportunity of

magnumus proportions to me.

How's that?

Of finding my next step

in the organization.

Yeah, well, there might not be

much of an organization left.

I could run this place

for him, Victor.

Better than Terry, a whole lot

better than f***ing Kilroy.

I ain't joking around.

If I could just

crack this sh*t for...

This is serious sh*t,

Darcy.

Have enough money to buy Lise

and Theo what they need.

Move up the ladder.

What the f***!

It's Lise's car.

Mine's in the shop.

What? Are you back

with her?

Yeah, she's acknowledging me.

It's a start, right?

I promised her I'd

make a plan. Get ahead.

For her and for Theo.

Just don't get too smart.

You saw what happened

to Paul.

I don't want anything

to happen to you.

I'm smarter than Paul.

I'm tired of being

taken for a f***ing douche.

I saw Alphonse respected me back there.

Oh, yeah?

I saw it in his eyes.

All right. We're good.

That's it.

Go on.

What the f***.

I tied

my shoe today.

I tied my shoe today.

I tied my shoe today.

Hello. This is Victor,

is Beatrice...

Hello. This is Victor.

Is Beatrice there?

What? There's no answer,

no one is there.

Hello.

It's me.

I believe you have

something of mine?

Yeah.

Why did you follow me?

It's not the first time.

I wanted to find out

more about you.

I think it's lucky I did.

You want some water?

Sure.

So, who are you?

My real name is Laszlo Kerik.

I was born in Hungary.

A few years ago my wife

and I came to America.

I was an engineer before.

We came here looking for work.

We took an apartment

in a building.

It was a building

they wanted to control.

The man I saw?

They got most people

out of the building.

One night they came

and they fired some shots.

To scare us.

So we would leave.

A bullet went through a wall,

and my daughter was

killed while she slept.

We were going to testify.

My wife and I.

The man responsible

for it all, Alphonse,

he gave his orders to make

sure he never went to trial.

And they were followed.

He was afraid to

use his own guys,

so they sent a crew

of Albanians after us.

They killed my wife,

and they thought

they killed me, too.

And they should

have made sure of it.

Cigarette?

Yeah.

When I manage to forget

what happened to me,

when there are no mirrors,

and no people that reminds me,

when my mom makes me laugh...

In these moments,

I have hope.

Maman says that I...

That it's these moments

that makes the pain bearable.

These moments.

I should try and find them where

I can and hang onto them.

But they're fleeting.

And then I remember,

and I'm filled

with so much hate

so I want to set

the whole world on fire.

I'm sorry I made you tell me

about your family.

I don't want to be one of those

people that reminds you.

When you're the one who is

going to help me forget.

These men, they don't

seem easy to beat.

And you might have used

up all your luck. So...

It's yellow...

Uh-uh.

Chartreuse.

Keep it.

I need you around.

Rabbits don't

come in chartreuse.

Did you eat the cookies?

No.

Maman makes a good cookie.

I only ask you to

return the Tupperware.

She likes her Tupperware.

Have you made any progress?

I will.

I know.

Because I realize now that if I call

the police and tell them what I saw,

it's not prison

you're afraid of.

It's that you won't get

to finish your revenge.

I'm going to

sleep in my own bed.

And why are you going to

sleep in your own bed?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

Why, baby?

Tell me once more, why?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

Bigger smile than that! That's

not the biggest smile you have.

And why are you going

to sleep in your own bed?

Because Daddy

keeps care of the monsters.

Why, baby?

Tell me once more. Why?

Because Daddy keeps

care of the monsters.

I'm so happy

that you're here.

Yeah.

I just needed

some time, Florence.

Now I'm going to cry.

I was worried when you

didn't contact my friend.

Nicholas, the therapist.

Oh, yeah.

He really did wonders

helping me out.

He could help you.

I found someone else.

As long as you're

getting the help you need.

Yeah.

I'm in good hands.

You clever motherf***er.

Open the f***ing windows.

It's f***ing hot in here.

Hey, Kilroy,

you want something to eat?

Yeah, I could eat.

I'm in my office.

Anything going on?

No.

Any pick-ups?

Make sure you

keep your cell on.

I don't know

what Al's got going.

Are you sure

it's the AR 43?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm looking at it right here.

It was installed

two days ago.

Then there is nothing wrong

with your remote.

There's a barrier. Your

signal won't get through.

The AR 43 is an IR unit

that is used in most banks

and government buildings.

What is the application

for your trigger?

Warehouse.

That's interference.

You will have to be inside

the IR ring, or forget it.

Unless you start from scratch,

go to a new system.

No, I can't do that.

Not enough time.

Too much interference. You

would have to detonate inside.

You lost a wife

and a daughter.

But don't forget.

I lost a niece

and her little one.

I don't want

to lose you, too.

Now you know everything.

No. No, I don't.

Uh...

How come an engineer knows

so much about guns?

Military service.

Back home.

So, what you said on the phone.

Is that your plan?

To get everybody

into this warehouse?

Yes. Alphonse is

always there.

I just need to get

the Albanians there, too.

There are many men.

But your bombs

doesn't work.

They work.

That's one way

of looking at it.

Another is that you don't

care if you get out of there.

You'd rather die than fail.

Don't worry about it.

I'll be around long enough

to do what you asked me

to do.

I don't want you to do that.

Bring me food.

My mom likes to cook.

It would just go to

waste otherwise.

I'll wedge it in between the mustard

and those plastic explosives.

You may not care if

you get out alive,

but in the meantime,

you should eat.

My rabbit's foot. If you don't

believe in it, I'll take it back.

Bye.

Sign right here.

Ilir.

Where did you get this?

A delivery came.

Same bogus

return address again.

They have your brother.

There's a little girl.

Hello?

Hey, it's Fonz. Listen.

I found this lawyer.

He says he can close the financing

on those uptown buildings.

And he don't know anything
