"Yeah, and she was going to marry the son ofa big-time gangster." "How did Mikhail feel about that?" "Concerned." "He hated the idea of his son marrying your daughter." "Yeah." "Who do you think it was that tried to talk Stephan into changing his life?" "Lanie." "And Catherine?" "Made a lot of bad investments." "Junk bonds mostly." "And I had a lot ofdebt with Stephan's dad." "She was going to blow the whistle on me and all my side deals." "So you decide to have them killed... so you wouldn't have to go tojail." "Yeah."

"The girl— the one from the Goldstein house." "She's alive." "That is news." "The kind that could fuck a perfectly good day." "[ Dishes, Silver ware Clattering ]" "Thanks." "[ Female Detective ] This doesn't feel right." "You think Goldstein had anything to do with what went down in the parking garage?" "You think he set Ruslan up?" "I don't know." "Something doesn't fit." "Where's the groom that isn't to be?" "Maybe we should ask Ruslan that." "Ofcourse we'd have to find him first." "The question is, would I want to?" "You saw what they did to his women." "Pretend it was your kid." "Just so you know, I'm not the only guy in a blue suit thinking this way."

"You take her where no people would be." "You understand?" "There's an abandoned wing." "I'll move her there." "We need to go to the hospital immediately." " The hospital?" " Lanie's alive." " You've got to be fucking kidding me." " I don't joke about my daughter." "Now, Mr. Goldstein, you better pray... none of your friends get there before I do." "People said you left this life behind." "You hurt me, you fall right back into it." "I'm way back already, believe me." "All three are inside." "We've been watching." "Cops?" "No." "No one tailed them from cemetery." "And no drive-bys since." " Police response time?" " We can draw the two patrol cars to the far edge oftown."

"By the time they figure out who we are, they'll be dead." " This isn't going to be surgical, boss." " You think Ruslan would be?" "If he comes gunning for me, pull the car around back." "Might buy ourselves some time." "You're not gonna believe this." "The answer has been under our noses the whole time." " Spit it out, already." " The other guy, Goldstein— he took out a life insurance policy on his wife just before she was killed." "Let's bring him in." "The question is, where is he?" "Right."
