rising off of them.

All that heat.

All that life.

Literally.

Evaporating.

I feel its fever.

- Help me!

Help, help me!

- You can scream all you want,

nobody can hear you!

Ready?

Huh?

- Wait!

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- Baby, baby!

This is my favorite part.

- Baby?

- Gevorg, what the f***?

- What the f***,

where were you guys?

- We had to wait for the

cavalry to show up Jimmy.

- So what's next,

what are we doing?

- You're going to take

the money to Roy's.

Look, I promised him

the money for the info.

Then we ripped his

fingernail out.

Then I guess you could say that

I needed an

insurance policy too.

Thank you.

I appreciate it.

I'll call you later okay?

Thanks.

You alright with this, huh?

- So basically I have

to convince this guy

that I'm going to

give up my life,

and give him the kidney?

- Yea.

Basically.

- What if he doesn't buy it?

- Look Jimmy, just play it

like we talked about, okay?

Assure him, reassure him.

Convince him.

- He's just going to

give me 150 grand?

- Yea, if you can convince him

that you're willing to die.

I think he will, yes.

You can do this Jimmy.

- And I don't value

my life that much,

I never have.

But just so we're clear,

I'm not asking you,

I'm telling you.

I need a little time.

- He needs a little money,

and you're going to drive him.

- And we'll just meet back here?

- Yea.

- Okay.

We're going to let him keep it?

- What do you think?

- I don't know, he

seems alright to me.

And if he brings us the package.

- Shame it had to

go down like this.

- Yea.

Could have been any of

us back in the day, huh?

- But it wasn't.

- Alright, well I should go.

- If the kid,

so much as hints that

he's going to book,

do him.

- Okay.

- You got two hours.

I'll go get the money.

- So you talked to your guy,

he knows what to do?

- I told him exactly what to do.

- But I mean, you're confident?

I mean you trust him that

he can do this, right?

- He said he would.

- Alright, but,

you know, this has

got to look real Jimmy.

If this is going

to work, you know,

for both of us, okay?

- Don't worry, this

guy's a perfectionist.

- He better be.

- Here's her address.

Promise me you'll

give it to her.

- Jesus.

- Promise me!

- Jesus, I promise

man, I promise!

- I don't have much time.

- Yo Jimmy, wait man!

I got something I got

to say before you go.

After my mother died,

my father and I were never

really the same, you know?

And I know that he saw

you as more of a son

than he ever saw me.

And that was hard.

I never got to say

goodbye to my father, man.

And I know you did right

by him when he was sick.

And I never got a chance

to thank you for that.

So in case for some reason,

I don't ever see you again,

I love you man.

You sure you're

going to be alright?

You sure?

- Yea, I'm sure.

- Take care of this.

- It's alright.

You alright?

You did good, come on.

Come on!

Come on, walk it off.

Woo.

Alright.

Ready?

Hey.

You alright?

You did good.

- So that's it?

- Unless she dies

Jimmy, and then

I'm going to come find you.

- She won't.

- Yea.

But if she does.

Oh my goodness.

You know Jimmy, you and I

actually made a

pretty good team.

- Can I ask you something?

- Sure.

- Why'd you want

to work with me?

- I didn't.

Jimmy, I did this for Sierra.

- Lorenzo's little girl?

- Yea, Lorenzo's her

father, you know, but...

She's my little girl.

- I see.

- He wasn't lying, you know?

He would have killed you Jimmy,

he would have killed you.

He wouldn't have

thought twice about it.

You know?

But then we would have

lost the package and I...

I just, I...

I couldn't have that.

And I'm sure he gave

you a great performance

when he was

interrogating you, but...

Truth is, he is a

horrible father.

- So you love her?

- Can't have kids of my own.

And it's not her

fault, you know?

It's not her fault that

her father's a gangster,

and mom was a whore.

And she can say, you know?

It's not her fault.

I don't know Jimmy.

There's no playbook

for this type of sh*t.

I didn't like letting you walk,

after what you did to Lou.

Like I said,

there's no playbook.

All I know is that,

in this line of work, you...

You make the guy that's

got the thing you want,

you make him an ally.

Not an enemy.

That's how I played it.

- Well I hope you know that I

never would have taken

this job if I had

known what the package was for.

- Doesn't matter now.

Here.

- Time to cash in

that insurance policy?

- Yea.

I want you to call

me when it's done.

Okay?

Hey Jimmy.

You asked me, but...

Why'd you do it?

- It was the ultimate boost.

- You disappear kid.

- Back the f*** up!

Take a seat!

- Jimmy, Jimmy,

take it easy man!

- Take it easy?

- Please, have a seat Jimmy.

- I'm not sitting anymore today.

I don't want to talk,

I just want my money.

Pick it up!

Open it up!

Shut it!

- Please.

Now, come on, Jimmy.

- F*** you.

- Do you mind?

- Do it slow!

- You know I lied Jimmy.

- No sh*t!

- About the Tequila.

It's really cheap.

- All tastes like sh*t to me.

- Okay, one last request, amigo.

How did we end up this way?

- I guess I got lucky.

- I don't believe in luck.

- You could use some by now.

- Hey you don't

have to do this man,

you got your money.

- And you almost got

me killed, twice!

- Hey, it wasn't personal!

- How's that?

- Lorenzo.

Killed my cousin Graciela.

This was my first

chance to get even.

- Why me, why the

bullshit story?

- I wanted to get rid of Austin.

I figured Lorenzo's

guys would kill him.

And I was hoping you'd

get away, and you did!

- You're a terrible liar.

But it doesn't matter now.

I'm not killing you for Lorenzo.

He already thinks I'm dead.

- So Tommy gets his wish.

At the hands of a dead man.

- These things play out.

- That's why I like you Jimmy.

'Cause you're smarter

than the average bear.

But let me give you

a word of advice.

For the future.

You wear your heart

on you sleeve.

And that makes you weak.

- So my life was

worth 500 grand?

And now I'm buying it

back for a lot more.

- You would have done the

same thing in my position.

- Hard to say.

- Salut Jimmy.

- Salut Roy.

- Hello?

- It's done.

- No, sorry, you got

the wrong number, bud.
