...he'll still wish it was him who died

on that cold concrete floor...

...when he was just a boy.

Michael is not meant...

...for this life.

Some of us are.

Not him.

Not you.

You just killed your sister, too.

Do it now.

We don't know if her call went through.

You wouldn't have your money,

had it not been for her.

Maybe I should put her on my payroll.

Don't disrespect him again.

I'll make this painless.

Forty-four million is clean,

and back in the Transwiss account.

Would you like it split up?

- Transfer ten to my offshore account.

- Yes.

There's four million extra in there,

leave it for Alek.

And the 30?

Belongs to our partners,

I'll split it up later.

Put it in my cloaked account...

Bromwell Bank.

I'm not finished.

Why did you kill them?

Families were just part of the job.

You weren't meant to get attached.

I was always loyal.

You're still mourning them.

You told me Taylor was clean.

I warned you, Alek.

Attachments cause mistakes.

What about yours?

You should have killed me.

- Jamie.

- No, no, no.

Don't you f***ing touch me!

Michael told me where you were.

- Where is he?

- He's safe.

I know who you are.

Whatever they told you, they're lying.

- They have tapes of us.

- Jamie, listen to me.

I didn't go to Detroit...

I've been in protective custody.

I've been working for the feds.

Nine months ago,

he and his people came to our restaurant.

They wanted to use the space

for deliveries.

They offered enough money to keep us

out of bankruptcy.

- No, you're lying to me.

- No, no, no.

- No, no, no...

- Yes, you are, you're lying to me.

After a few months of drop-offs,

I saw the heroin.

I told them I wanted out...

...but he described our bedroom,

Michael's school...

He played a tape of us.

I went to the feds...

...but they said they couldn't move on it,

not for a few drug deliveries.

They gave me...

...a code to use with the bug and

had me signal them with a dog whistle.

I heard about the 40 million.

The feds, they intercepted it.

They put it into an account, that I set up.

But you emptied that account, didn't you?

To save Michael's life.

They're going to give us

new names, new lives...

...but they need that money to prosecute.

You have to help me put it back.

What about Alek's family?

They're in a safe house.

His wife was terrified of him.

He's lying.

Don't you talk to my wife.

You didn't think I'd

go to the feds, did you?

You didn't think I'd have the balls.

He can't kill you without the money.

Baby, you have to trust me.

Please.

Transwiss Securities...

Yeah, it's Kevin Taylor.

I have the information.

Transwiss Securities.

Username A6547.

Username A6547.

Password?

Cody.

Cody.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.

Okay.

The account you opened up for the feds...

...the one under my name...

...you opened that account...

...on our wedding day.

Six years ago.

Yeah?

Something wrong with

the password, honey?

How long did you work for Falco?

- Jamie...

- Shut up!

You're the biggest liar in this room.

I hope they rip out your tongue

before they kill you.

Michael's in the car...

...and I will hurt him.

Now, baby...

...give me the password.

F*** you!

You look real nice with that thing.

Real nice.

Sweet little wife and mother.

What about Michael?

What are you gonna say

when he asks how his father died?

I'll tell him the truth.

He never had one.

You don't have to kill me.

This can be fixed.

Jamie, listen to me.

Thirty million left in that account...

...belongs to the three other syndicates.

You have to find them and give it back.

The next in line is Dracken.

He'll know how to disperse the money.

Don't involve the feds, they can't help.

You find them,

or they'll find you like we did.

The four million...

...paid on my family's life...

Use it.

Use it to disappear with Michael.

- Officer response to 911 call.

Roger that.

Mrs. Taylor?

Are you all right?

Do you know what they wanted?

No.

I need an

ambulance at Grifton Enterprises.

Female victim needs medical attention.

There's five dead, one about to join them.

Multiple units en route.

I love you.

Come on, baby, okay?

Hello?

Mr. Dracken?

My name is Jamie Taylor.

We've been expecting your call.

Would you like to come in?

No, we do this my way.

I have something you want.
