- Renn left and took Nick.

No, you guys have a kid
together. She'll come back.

Yeah, but you didn't see

DEA. Livengood.

- Will he find it?
- No.

And he won't. I got rid of it.

- Well, Pete flushed the coke.
- What?

Yeah, that's what happens
when the DEA shows up.

- What's up, Ralphie?
- You got heat on you, dude.

Came from Pete. The DEA...

he says we're supposed to stay
away from the Codys for a while.

Bullshit.

- What's going on?
- Liquor board...

they just showed up and
started taking all the booze.

Livengood got the old liquor board
to come by and shut me down.

Janine, you want to come inside

- and talk?
- Yeah.

- Look away!
- You bi...

Come here. Come here. Come here.

POPE: What about Chadwick?

J: The sh**ting shouldn't
be tied to us or the bar.

Then we tell Chadwick we
don't need him anymore.

There's no upside in offing a cop, Pope.

Sometimes things have to be done.

FRANKIE: I got a guy.
These guys take money in

and they give it out. If he can
move a quarter of a million

on any given day,

he's got to be keeping
more than that somewhere.

Jesus.

- It's huge.
- Let's get to work.
