This sh*t went down about nine

months before we were on the crew.

There was a case involving

Alphonse and a little girl

who was killed in

one of his buildings.

The case never went to

trial. Get this, right?

The little girl's

mommy and daddy,

they died,

like, two months afterwards.

They're buried

right there next to her.

Vic?

You there? Vic? Vic?

Yeah. I'm here.

I did it, man.

I f***ing did it.

I found out exactly what

Paul must have found out.

Look, I want to tell Alphonse. I want

you to be there when I tell him.

Can you get there?

No, I'm in the middle of something.

I'll talk to you later.

Oh, Victor.

I didn't know you were coming. I

would have thrown something on.

Maman, you knew very

well he was coming.

No, you didn't

tell me anything.

Well, I told you so.

Ready?

Mmm-hmm.

So...

Where are we going?

You'll see.

A club?

Very cold.

A park?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Good.

This is...

The bar.

In his house,

some credit card receipts.

He usually leaves the bar at 8:30

every night. But he took a trip.

I want to

make sure he's back.

If he's here tonight, he'll

probably be here tomorrow night.

I'm prepared to do it then.

I...

I've found a moment with you.

I want to hang onto it.

It's not gonna

end up that way.

I never said it would.

Not with words.

I wore that

white dress for you.

Was that a mistake?

Yes.

All right, wait here.

I'll be back in a minute.

What did you do?

It's done.

It's done.

One, two.

Nope.

Uh-uh.

Hold up. It's this one.

So you're saying

it's someone who knew them?

He must have.

'Cause this guy's dead, right?

Right?

What is it?

The little girl

died June 17th.

Two years ago. Right?

Yeah.

June 17th is tomorrow.

Beatrice.

What are you doing?

Oh, my God.

Beatrice!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

What?

Yeah, I'm walking

back to him now. Okay.

Yeah.

Hey, you know

who this is, right?

Yeah, I know who it is.

I've been getting these weird

letters for the last three months.

With pictures?

With the eyes crossed out?

I've been getting them, too.

Whoever is doing it

took my brother.

You remember this problem

I had you take care of for me?

Hungarian Rhapsody?

You stayed to the finale.

Right?

Yeah.

And the whole

family took a bow?

Yeah.

And you're sure you saw

the father take a bow?

Where the f*** have you been?

I've been trying to call you.

My car won't start.

Some sh*t's

going down, man.

The f***ing thing

won't start.

What am I going to tell you?

Come pick me up.

What?

Bring every

f***ing gun we have.

Ilir...

Brozi?

Here?

Vic?

You didn't mail the package.

You didn't kill him.

You didn't kill him because

you feel something for me.

You knew how I would feel.

You didn't mail the package.

I tried.

And the guy walked away,

and I called him back.

I called him back, because I feel

something for you.

I could love you.

I don't want you to die.

So I thought that if

I could just mess up

one of your things,

just one thing,

it would be enough so it wouldn't

work out the way you planned.

So I put my rabbit's

foot in that package.

And I took the video card out.

They got my

rabbit's foot instead.

We can run away.

They'd find us.

We keep on running.

We travel by night. I don't

care how far we have to go.

Vic?

Shithole.

Holy sh*t.

Where are you going?

You come back here!

Your father is

speaking to you.

Laszlo.

F***ing Laszlo.

I'm gonna wait

for you here.

Where are you?

I'm outside your apartment.

Come back. Please.

Beatrice, I want you to

go to your apartment now.

Go there now, and stay there

and wait for me. Okay?

Come here!

If you f***ing scream, it will go bang.

Okay? Okay.

Laszlo f***ing Kerik.

You made me a douche, Laszlo Kerik.

I've seen your artwork.

I've seen your f***ing pictures.

You put Paul in the freezer.

This has nothing

to do with you.

I sent you to my

apartment to save you.

All right? You weren't

supposed to go inside.

Yeah, but I did go inside.

I was worried about you.

I don't want to

f***ing kill you.

Take this opportunity,

and you let her go.

You lied to me.

You f***ing lied to me.

The godfather of my son.

Let her go. Let her go.

You listen to me. You get in

your shitty car that does start.

You start your shitty car. And you

drive your shitty car to Alphonse's.

We'll be waiting.

F***.

Get up!

What does it mean?

Darcy's here

with the girl.

Hmm.

What happened to your face?

Car accident.

What happened to yours?

You motherfuckers.

Victor.

Alphonse. Don't go anywhere.

Are you coming for me?

No. I'm coming for her.

Yeah, well, she won't be here

when you get here.

Oh, sh*t.

Take her to my room!

And don't f***ing move!

Motherf***er!

He just shot Luco.

No, look! He's

coming up the back stairs.

All right now! I've got

something for your ass!

Follow him, Ilir!

Down the f***ing stairs!

Hey, Victor!

Remember I told you if

there was anything left

you still cared about,

I was gonna find it and I was

gonna burn that sh*t down.

How about this, huh?

You are dead, f***!

Hey, where the f***

did you go?

What does it mean?

What is he saying?

What the f***

are you doing, man?

Don't you raise

that f***ing gun.

Don't you do it!

Don't you f***ing do it!

B*tch,

lower the f***ing gun!

Did you choose not to kill me

'cause I got a wife and a kid?

No.

I didn't kill you

because they've got you.
