I need to get her coming after me.

It shouldn't be hard, 'cause she's trying

to track me down anyway.

She wants to kill

anyone who knew anything about it.

And the Israeli said

that the likely buyers are in town tonight.

So we gotta move,

'cause the deal could happen any time.

Hey.

- For you.

- Thank you.

How much did you hear?

Along with what Lucia told me before?

Enough.

This b*tch, Carrack,

she's the one who killed Diego, right?

So, how can I help?

They're spies, right? Eyes everywhere?

Phones, e-mail. Everything.

Let's start a tab. Then they'll find us.

Lucia, wait a second.

Are you sure you're ready for this?

Say my name and you can say it with honor

She's not working tonight.

Gracias.

You don't understand me,

but when you were in school,

you ever hear the story of Brer Rabbit? Huh?

- Is it sold?

- Is it sold?

Jesus Christ!

You're dumber than your father.

What are you actually asking me, Will?

"Is it sold?" What's sold? The briefcase?

Or is your family dead?

'Cause if it's sold, they're dead. Right?

The deal's gonna happen.

And the only way you'll know where

is if you make me tell you.

But I ain't telling you sh*t.

No!

Get him up!

- Untie him!

- He'll kill you, man.

Will!

- Get off me!

- We'll do this!

- Get off me! Get off me!

- We'll do this!

Where's Carrack? Answer me!

Tell me! Where is she?

Why isn't she here?

- Why isn't she here?

- Because!

She's a lady.

And ladies, unlike your little sister,

stay at home while the men go out...

Kick the sh*t out of him!

- Don't worry. He'll talk.

- Just tape him up. We've done enough.

I know that it's not easy to watch,

but it will work.

- No, it won't.

- It will.

- I've got a plan.

- The duct tape won't hold.

We have to let him go.

We need a car.

- I don't understand.

- Promise me you won't go in there.

I still don't understand.

He thinks I'm an idiot.

Let me deliver on that.

Dad was no traitor.

Carrack played him.

Played him and the Israelis.

- And the Israelis are out there?

- They better be.

There.

They are on the move.

Stay close to them.

Call me if she shows up.

Ok.

He got away.

I'll deal with him later.

Let's hope for your sake

he doesn't show up.

There. Pull over.

Be careful.

- Stay here, okay?

- Okay. What are you gonna do?

Wait for them.

I'm glad to see

you brought what I was expecting.

Yeah, I ran into a little bit of trouble,

but it's been dealt with.

Shh! Come with me.

- We're on your side.

- Okay.

So, gentlemen, if you're ready,

we can do our business.

How can I be sure

this is the real thing?

It came directly

from a Mossad agent.

Sadly, no eyewitnesses.

You're not gonna find anything else

like this one.

Shh!

Crawl back out of here.

We'll take over now.

No. Tell me where my family is

or I'm not going anywhere.

Listen to me.

Leave now or I'll have to drag you out.

- No!

- Leave now!

Catch.

Lucia! Calm down.

It's okay. It's okay.

You, Will?

Of all the people

who should've killed me.

Will! She's coming.

No! No! No!

You amateur!

Hurry up. Hurry up. Go, go, go!

Watch it!

Whoo!

- Come on!

- Please! No!

Jesus!

No, no, no! No!

God! Damn!

- Where are they?

- Who?

The Israelis. Where are they?

Sh*t!

Where is she? Where is she?

She's there!

No, no, no! Wait, wait! Don't!

Come on!

Who's going to pay for my car now?

- Lucia! Get out. Come on, come on!

- What?

All right! That's it!

I'm getting sick of this. Come on.

She's coming! She's coming!

Come on!

God damn!

Carrack, you b*tch!

Oh, Will.

What a mess.

Looks like you're gonna need

some more stitches.

And your little dead friend, too.

Your mother's gonna freak out.

Aw! Is that your father's gun?

I'm sorry.

You looking for something like this?

Will!

My sister. She's hurt back there.

Relax. She's halfway to the hospital.

Your father, for all

the hell he caused us,

would be proud of you.

What about my family?

Oh, my God!

You handled yourself pretty well out there

for a kid who knows sh*t.

I have to tell you, I was impressed.

Thanks for helping us

clean up our own mess.

Does this mean I can go home now?

Sure. Whatever.

But I think you should really consider

another line of work.

You know, your father

was an honest man.

I'm sorry he's gone.

Thank you.

Could I ask you something?

Shoot.

What the hell was in the briefcase?

There's only one way I can answer that.

I've gotta go see my family.

Hey.

Thank you.

You told her about me, right?

It didn't really seem important.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

You should go and introduce yourself.

She is your sister.

She is my sister.
