What are you guys talking about?

Just talking about robbing a hawala.

I got a guy. [SIGHS]
These guys take money in

and they give it out.
If he can move / million

on any given day,

he's gotta be keeping more
than that somewhere.

Sorry, man. Can't do business with you.

It came from Pete.

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

This is like a phone
book of all the criminals

- in San Diego County.
- So? You gonna call him?

Tell him you k*lled Max
and you're in charge now?

Pete never flushed the coke.

I need to be cut in.

You know we're talking
about $ million in cash.

This guy gets robbed,

he's gonna start looking
at new faces... mine first.

When that bridge burns,
I need to be gone.

DERAN: All right,
we'll split it up equally.

With you, five.

What do you think of the house?

You really want to
settle down like this?

Like we're normal?

- Who's that?
- This is Mom.

- [SNIFFS]
- You all right, man? Renn took off?

Quit pretending you're
just still having fun.

POPE: You stole money from Smurf.

She thinks you're talking to the police.

I would never go to the police.

I know. I told Smurf.

- And did she believe you?
- No.
