Eddie?

It's over.

I'll talk to him.

Eddie, Eddie.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

My DA's got half

the Italian mob on lockdown,

my lieutenant's wondering how

half the missing Empire money

landed in the lap of some

mid-level Colombian cocaine dealer

and I'm thinking you and your friend

know where the other half is.

So before I let you go...

and unfortunately I have to...

I've got two questions

for you, Eddie:

Where's Chris?

And where's the money?

Chris, Chris, what is going on?

I'm being serious right now.

You need to tell me what happened.

Sh*t, my father.

- F***, come on.

- Chris, I'm being serious.

You need to look at me

and you need to tell me what's going on.

Whatever happens, you check

the f***ing statue, okay?

- You check the statue.

- Chris, what?!

- The money's in the f***ing statue.

- Chris!

Chris.

Chris!

Yo, Chris!

What the f*** are you doing here?

They know everything.

They f***ing know everything.

- What, who?

- The cops know everything.

- They got the f***ing map.

- You come to me?!

- Oh f***.

- What do you want me to do?

It ain't that easy, bro.

It ain't that easy.

Hey, you told me Jimmy was dead.

He ain't f***ing dead, Eddie!

He's alive.

What are you talking about?

I saw Mike kill him with my own eyes.

Well, he ain't dead, okay,

and we're f***ed!

All my money's gone.

All my money's gone right now.

- I need some money.

- Oh, you need some money?

- I need some money, ple...

- I thought you said the cops need it?

- Now get the f*** outta here!

- You gotta give me that money

right now. I know

it's in here somewhere, bro.

- I don't want to do anything.

- I'm not gonna give you

any f***ing money, Eddie!

I don't want to do anything

right now, okay? Don't make me do

- anything I don't want to f***ing do.

- The f*** are you doing?

Don't make me f***ing do

anything right now, okay?

I'm so f***ing serious right now.

Just show me where it is right now.

Just show me where

the f***ing money is, okay?

- My money's for my family.

- I'm f***ing sorry!

- For my parents to get a house.

- I don't want it all!

You could buy 10 f***ing houses

with that f***ing money!

What about me, okay?

Don't think I won't do it.

Don't think I won't f***ing shoot!

Oh f***!

- F***.

- Hey, Pop.

Get up, Eddie.

- The next one kills you, Eddie.

- It's okay, Christo.

- I f***ed up.

It's over now.

Ah f***. I f***ed up.

Yeah. Yeah, you did, Chris.

Yeah, you did.

Hey, boss, still got a lot

of money unaccounted for here.

And don't you know it.

You think your boy's gonna talk?

Yeah.

I think he'll come to his senses.

The FBI said today

that the man whose job

it was to protect the money

stole it:

Christos Potamitis.

We spoiled his vacation

where he's been

sunning himself by the pool

most of the afternoon.

It was a matter of me trying to get

a bag to come to me.

The building's landlord

said he was amazed

the burglars could get

through the roof.

Uh, we specifically made this roof

to have steel construction

because we wanted to have

the security in there.

Just dollar signs,

you know, coming at me.

You know? "Here we are."

More arrests are

expected says the FBI,

as is recovery of the 11 million,

which is still missing.

And the money still to this day is gone?

- That's correct.

- Vanished?

Just vanished.

- Into thin air?

- Into thin air.

The way it disappeared

out of the money room,

it disappeared out of our hands.

You looked like you were

about to say something.

No.

Okay.

Seems it never rains

In southern California

Seems I've often heard

That kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But, girl, don't they warn ya

It pours

Man, it pours

Out of work,

I'm out of my head

Out of self-respect,

I'm out of bread

I'm underloved, I'm underfed

I wanna go home!

It never rains in California

But, girl, don't they warn ya

It pours

Man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home

I nearly made it?

Had offers, but don't know

Which one to take

Please

Don't tell them

how you found me

Don't tell 'em how you found me

Gimme a break

Give me a break

Seems it never rains

in southern California

Seems I've often heard

that kind of talk before

It never rains in California

But, girl, don't they warn ya

It pours

Man, it pours.
