CRAIG: You doing a job
was a one-time thing.

This is about me making my own money!

Well, then go get a real
job like real people.

You've always known who I am!

Yeah. But I didn't know you'd
also be a shitty mother.

Got an idea for a job.

- Uh, you know what a hawala is?
- No.

It's like an underground Western Union.

So, have you heard of these
guys where you got to,

you know, move money
without people knowing?

What you're talking
about... It's dangerous.

MAX: Hey.

Your mom owes Uncle Max money,

but... she's not taking
Uncle Max very seriously.

So go tell your mom
that Max said time's up.

Don't worry.

That man is never gonna bother us again.

Excuse me. What's the deal here?

- You the owner?
- Yeah.

We got orders to confiscate
your inventory.

What the hell is this about?

Well, this is your last chance
to save your pathetic ass.

I made a phone call.
Your bar got raided.

Another call next week, it's your house.

I'm the one who's gonna
be haunting your...

[g*nsh*t]

Dude never shuts up!

The g*n's a burner.

But, um, I think I'll keep it safe.

Just in case.
