Other details are unclear but...

the owner of the pawn shop, told the reporter

that Gabriel acted alone.

and saw you get in the car;

then why didn't they say anything?

- I have no idea.

Did you have any idea that

there would be a second car?

I already told you, I didn't.

Now, you've just got a little boy's father killed.

and now, you are lying to me.

So, how about this?

From now on, every words out of your mouth is the truth.

Would you stop?

- Alright!

You know, a lot of guys messing around

with married women...

to pay back the hausband.

Crazy!

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

Where's Cook?

He's in the dressing room.

Where's that?

It's over there.

You're a f***ing dead man.

Whose money do i have?

Don't worry...

Call them.

Somebody call Nino.

Do you remember this?

Hello?

Nino?

No, sorry pal.

Why don't you call back later, we're closed.

I could, but i think Nino would be upset

that you made him wait.

- Can I ask what this is about?

I have something of his.

- And that would be?

A million dollars.

- Please hold.

Nino:
You have something that

f***ing belongs to me.

Seems that way.
