This is Gord

Fackner at the top of the hour.

Police are seeking

the public's help

in identifying three suspects

for the brazen

murder of four men

believed to be members

of the Russian Mafia.

The murders occurred in

the parking structure-

There you go.

Hey.

No, no, no, no, no!

No, put that away.

It's our pleasure.

Okay

Okay ladies, have a

wonderful day, hmm?

- Bye!

- Bye.

I'm going to leave Dolf here.

He can help you with

the rest of the order.

Okay.

You stay and watch Adalina.

She says you eat too much.

What do you want me to do?

Listen, find her another

big catering order.

And tell them to

request coda pa pushti.

She loves making those.

How goes it?

Another day above the ground.

Amen to to that.

Now this,

this is from last

year's crop;

pulled 'em out before

the ground froze.

I think Adalina

would like 'em.

Ah, thank you, thank you.

- She will appreciate.

- Oh!

Oh, what do we have here?

Oh, my favourite.

Jesus Christ, that's good.

Now, the red dots,

that's straight Crank.

The blue, that's

Mexican Speedball.

The green is, uh, PNP.

Same as usual.

- Ah, you wanna test?

- We're good, we're good.

It's much too cold to

sit around waiting.

Why don't you guys

get that loaded.

Is there a problem?

Very nice, very nice.

- Be well, my friend.

- Nice to see ya.

Thanks for the pastries.

You stick to the speed limit,

use the turn signal,

stay on the back roads.

That Chief at

Stone Creek Reservation,

he has been trying

to renegotiate

so double count,

make sure he's not

trying to short us.

If he does,

break his arms.

Can I help you?

Hey, new guy,

I'm talking to you!

Dude, what were you looking at?

Just heard the music.

Are you gonna complain?

No.

It's the only way to drown

out the rest of the noise

around here, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good talk, neighbour.

Greger, get up.

We need to talk.

Yeah, yeah.

I'll be there soon.

Adalina, I have to go.

What? Where?

I won't be long.

Just go back to sleep.

Get over here.

I've been sent for.

Thank you for

coming, my friend.

You know, there's

a diner nearby.

It would be warmer.

I like the cold.

It reminds me of Moscow.

Ah.

How's the family?

Never have kids

after the age of 50.

I can't keep up.

All I do is hand out money.

And the beautiful Adalina,

she's good, yes?

- She is.

- Good.

You heard about

that business, uh,

with my associates?

The reports didn't say

who was responsible.

The Aryan Brotherhood

is responsible.

We had a deal that was

fair and was honourable.

But these people

have no honour.

And now the problems

is yours to amend.

I don't see why.

I've never had anything

to do with them.

The Ochstag voted.

It's not our fight, Vladimir.

I like how things are.

We keep our heads down,

stay below the radar.

This complicates things.

If they are coming after me,

how long do you

think it would be

before they come after you?

Strange how fate works,

is it not?

When this is over

I will make sure

that he is left alone.

That should please you.

Your pet, free at last.

Did you know he was out?

No.

You'd have to kill me

to put that on my body.

You wouldn't have

lasted a week, Malick.

He coulda just

punched his own ticket.

And did it all.

Guys like Lance, they fight.

That's just how they're wired.

If a man's born

into violence,

there's only two

ways he can go.

He can be a victim.

Or you fight.

You did everything you could.

Hey, whatsup?

Help you with something?

Do you do coverups?

Yeah, sure.

What do you need?

Not sure we can

help you with that.

Thanks, I'm gonna take five,

but stick around.

Whoa, neighbour.

Hi.

You following me?

Not a lot of places

to get a bottle

when the stores close,

you know?

I'm fucking with you.

Oh.

Man, what's your deal?

Are you like,

always a dick

or just to me?

I'm just not one for talking.

Oh, gotcha.

Wow, love the song.

Great set, Anna.

You remind me

of Billy Jean Waters.

"Nobody Knows When

You're Down and Out."

Nope, I've got nothing.

It's supposed to

be a compliment.

I know I'm

only small-town good,

but thanks.

That's no good

for your voice.

Hey, I'm back.

Thanks for sticking around.

You look good.

You look old.

Are you hiding

from us or the Brotherhood?

I ain't hiding from anyone.

Just wanna be left alone.

I came down

there more than once

but they said you

wouldn't see me.

The Russians fucked me.

After all I did for

them and for you.

You let it happen.

I did everything that I could.

My hands were tied.

You put an Estonian Captain

in a fucking

wheelchair for life.

A direct descendant

from the old country.

What did you expect?

- He baited me.

- And you bit.

He'll never walk

again and you, what?

You lost 15 years.

All you had to do

was walk away.

Fuck 'em.

Even now?

Just get to it.

I'm here to offer

you an olive branch.

The Russians, they are

prepared to let the past go,

let you free.

And why would they do that?

They need a favour.

They assassinated a

high-ranking Russian.

Trying to move in on

the meth distribution.

You have no idea what

you're asking me to do.

Yeah?

I think that should be enough

to get you wherever

you want to go.

Lance, I promise,

no one will come

looking for you.

What if I say no?

Then everything you

endured in prison

would be for nothing.

Freedom, real freedom,

has a price.

Can you imagine

sleeping without a gun?

I think you know

this is the only option.

Make peace with it.

And we'll talk

in the morning.

Excuse me.

Hi, honey.

I am so not your honey.

Hey!

Friends of yours?

How'd the rest of your set go?

It went.

Shoulda stuck around.

I'm not much for crowds,

even small ones.

Well it woulda been really

nice to play for someone

who actually appreciated it.

You know, there are places

that appreciate

talent like yours.

You just gotta find 'em,

you know?

Man, I barely make rent, okay?

All I have in my fridge

are half-eaten noodles

and a bottle of hot sauce.

I have no idea how I'm

gonna get to tomorrow so,

Smoke Stack's the

only place I got.

Good night.

Good night.

Could you wait outside?

Let me do what

has to be done.

I'll find a way.

No, I want you to

find out who the girl is.

I need to be doing more, okay?

The others-

They don't respect me.

Let me prove myself.

You will have your

time to make your mark.

With them and with the Ochstag.

Just not now.

Unless?

How do you know he won't run?

30 years of history.

Fuck!

♪ Once I had a life

as a millionaire ♪

♪ Spending my money

I didn't care ♪

♪ Took all my friends out ♪

I can't.

I can't be that guy.

But you still are him, Lance.

- I can change.

- No.

Human nature always

bares its teeth.

No matter what you

tell yourself,

you are who you are.

And you know you

have to do this.

Kill them, kill them all.

No witnesses,

no loose ends.

When it's done,

I'll tell you where I left

the money and the passport.

And then,

then we can talk

about change.

The fuck you want?

Just got out of the joint.

I'm looking to connect

with my brothers.

Where'd you do your time.

Millhaven.

T Block.

What's your name, brother?

Lance Hunter.

Run him.

It's for you.

So you know I can earn.

Let's get inside.

Want a tag on the Yukon.

How long you been out?

Not long.

Usually someone would let

us know a new face coming by.

Didn't know where I was

gonna settle when I got out.

Needed some time to breathe.

I hear that.

Well, you check out

with my man in Millhaven.

Says you did some

heavy work inside.

Anything for the Brotherhood.

I'm wondering-

Before you hit lockup,

who'd you do to get pinched?

Where are you from?

Who you ran with,

that sort of thing?

I don't-

I'll know everything

soon enough.

For now,

we're just gonna wait.

Ah, fuck.

Is it done?

It's done.

Money and passport

is in the air duct

in your hall.

It was there the whole time.

I had faith in you.

Good luck.

♪ Gimme your kiss already ♪

I'm gonna tell the Ochstag

you oversaw the operation.

No, no, no, uncle, just-

Let me earn it on my own.

So what now?

What now?

We let things get

back to normal.

I mean with Lance.

He has earned the

right to walk

whatever direction

he chooses.

Anna?

Hey, Anna?

Oh, hey!

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you?

- Yeah.

Let's get you upstairs.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What are you doing?

I believe, sleeping

it off is the term.

I mean, what are you

doing in this shithole town?

At some point you're

gonna have to pick:

The music or this,

this place.

Who could give up

all this, though?

Look, I don't need

a lecture, okay?

Mhm.

You're not my father.

No, I'm not.

But if I was,

I would drag you

out of here.

Do whatever it takes to

give you an opportunity.

Yeah, all he gave

me was bad dreams.

Been on my own since

I was 15, okay?

No one's dragging me anywhere.

Well you're gonna

have to do it then.

You and I should not end

up in the same place.

You deserve better.

So, any problems?

Buyers are asking for more.

Sounds like Rainer's

getting a new mining camp,

so we should get in on that.

Looks like there's room

for growth all around.

And that's more weight.

We'll need to start

sending two vehicles.

So we have to make sure

we have enough security.

I'll go, I can

take care of that.

No, no you stay here.

Dolf and Pieter, they can-

They can handle it.

Did you, um, find

out about the girl?

Uh, waitress,

works at a bar,

not much to know.

Her and Lance?

I'm not sure.

What's he doing here?

I didn't know you were coming.

I know.

How bad is it?

A witness.

10-year-old boy.

What did he see?

Everything,

including your man.

He's in police custody now.

It's only a matter of time

before he IDs your man.

Either to the police or to the

Aryan Brotherhood or to both.

How insulated are

you from him?

Enough.

Hm.

If he should talk and

mention your name-

No, no, he would never talk.

Greger, this is a man who

has just done 15 hard years

because we put him there.

This is a man who knows

that we ordered a hit

on him in prison.

This is a man

who knows that he can kill

two birds with one stone

if he talks.

Put your dog down

and anyone

associated with him.

Vladimir no, please,

there's got to be another way.

There is another way.

I can insulate myself

from everybody,

including you.

Vladimir, what a nice surprise.

The beautiful Adalina!

Oh, it is a sight

for old eyes.

Come, let me make you

something to eat.

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

I have a stupid business

meeting I have to get to.

At least let me get

pastries for the kids.

No, no, no, no,

not today, not today.

But I promise you this,

I will come back soon,

and I'll bring all the boys.

Just, uh, just business.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, mmhmm.

- Never better.

- Yeah?

Yeah, okay.

I need to ask

something of you.

Lance, he has to go.

And I need it to be

you who does it.

The girl,

you can't lead any

breadcrumbs back here.

Okay wait, are you

sure that that's smart?

Lance, he left me no choice.

Just thinking.

The last thing my, uh-

my father said to

me before he died.

I never really

understood it until now.

I haven't heard

you even mention

your father since he died.

He was a good man.

Why are all men

remembered as something

they weren't when

they were alive.

Adalina?

Are you happy?

Of course.

We could go anywhere.

Back to Helsinki,

back home.

But this is home, here.

We have a life,

a business.

This is where we grow old.

Greger, how bad is it?

Smells good, whatever's

cooking in the oven.

and don't do that.

I can see it on your face.

I'm here.

You don't have to

carry it all alone.

It's nothing.

You just concentrate

on the bakery, okay?

Oh, I'll

just stay mute

and-and smile and

be a good woman.

Don't ask questions, right?

That's not what I'm saying.

This is our life.

It's not just yours.

We built this life together.

So if what we built,

if what we built

is in jeopardy,

I have every right to ask,

every right to be heard.

You don't wanna know.

I hear.

I see.

Don't tell me what I do

or don't want to know.

You've never wanted to

know anything before today.

I've never had the

need to ask before.

So you tell me,

why do I feel the need

to know now, hmm?

Adalina!

Before you do it,

I want to speak to him.

♪ I've been blue all day ♪

♪ My man's gone away ♪

♪ He left my heart so cold ♪

Are you there?

♪ I thought that

he'd be mine ♪

I'm coming in there.

I'm gonna be the

one that does it.

That's not how he wants it.

It's how I want it.

I'm making the call.

No you're not.

You don't want any part of

what's waiting in there.

It's our job.

If anything happens,

we have to answer for it.

Let us do it.

Yeah?

He ain't here.

But he'll be back.

How do you know?

Oh, he'll be back.

The girl ain't here either.

There's a note that says

she's at the Smoke Stack.

Okay, we'll go to her.

Lance, I had no choice.

You need to know that.

This isn't how I

wanted it to end.

Good bye my friend.

It's okay, just let go.

I'm gonna drop

you at the bar.

You stay on the girl,

make sure she's alone.

I'll go back and

check on 'em.

No.

Greger says you're

to stay away.

Greger said

you stay on the girl.

That's exactly what

you're gonna do, right?

He's gone.

What do you mean gone?

Dolf and Koso are dead.

What? Are you sure?

I'm looking at 'em.

Um, the girl?

Pieter's on her.

She's at a bar.

He can't get her in

front of a crowd.

That's where he'll go

now that he knows.

We're on our way.

Yeah?

He got away.

He's coming to you.

You wait for me if he shows.

Lina,

I I have to go.

But, uh, I'll be back-

I'll be back by morning.

I know, it's nothing really.

You tell me all about it

when you come home then.

Yeah.

Ah, you know what, guys?

I'm actually gonna

draw up a classic.

I had no choice.

I had no choice, he was

gonna fuckin' hurt you.

You're

still in danger.

Find a cop and go

somewhere safe now!

Yeah, I need some help.

He's dead.

Ah, Smoke Stack,

it's, um-

Greger,

the kid identified Lance.

I'm on my way to

handle it myself.

What will happen to the kid?

The kid is too well protected

by the police and the Aryans.

Which means these ends

have to be tied up now!

I will take care of it.

You better.

Because if you have not

done it in 60 minutes,

I will tidy up

the ends myself.

What does that mean?

Hey!

Hey, uh-

How's it going there?

Good.

I'm just waiting for

the last batch to bake.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I just, uh, I wanted

to hear how you were doing.

Greger, I-

I was thinking and-

the bakery and all this I-

you know, may-maybe

we could sell it

and, uh, move somewhere warm.

I mean-

I mean, if it helps with, um,

making it better or if I-

But you love the bakery.

I do, I-

I do, um-

You know, but, I-

I'm starting to wonder.

No, my love.

We grow old there.

I'll be home soon.

Don't stay too late.

But will you wake me

when you come home?

Always.

Good night.

Calling on a dead man's phone?

Yeah, I'm gone.

It's over.

I wish it was,

oh I truly do.

I leave.

And nobody comes

looking for me, right?

You left a witness, Lance.

And you have killed

three of my men.

There is only one

way this ends.

I'm out.

The girl is safe.

You have nothing.

So why the call, huh?

If this is truly over, hm?

Oh, you need me to say it.

You're looking for some kind

of pass for you and the girl.

She's not safe, Lance.

Why are you fuckin' lying?

Wait two minutes and

answer this phone.

He has Dolf's phone.

Let him know that

she is alive,

and then you kill her.

What?

Make sure he knows it.

Wait,

can't we just use her to

make him come in?

Her alive gives him reason

to be careful, cunning.

Her dead, he turns

into an animal.

He will want to tear us

apart with his bare hands.

We will use it to

our advantage.

We've already lost

too many men.

Under your watch,

nephew, yeah?

So if you cannot do it,

then you wait for me.

I will fucking do it myself!

But if you want to

make your mark,

this is the time,

nephew.

This is the time.

Hey, Lance.

I'm calling your bluff.

I wish

I'd never met you.

Anna.

Anna, listen to me!

Fuck you!

Anna!

He wants me to kill her.

I swear to God,

if you fucking touch her,

I will kill you.

I have to.

It is not too late.

In this thing of ours we-

We don't get to choose.

I will fucking

kill all of you.

- Sorry.

- Malick?

Malick?

Malick!

Malick, fuck!

Malick, fuck, fuck!

Malick!

Fuck!

Malick!

Malick you fuck!

Malick!

Fuck!

Malick!

Malick!

Fuck!

Malick you-

You did what had to be done.

You want me, you got me.

The back of the lumber yard.

Exit 117.

I will watch you die.

He wants us to go to him.

Then let's take it to him.

No.

Is it done?

No.

No, no!

Malick!

You fucking killed her!

You fucking killed her!

Malick!

You killed her!

Fuck.

Oh.

Fuck!

What the fuck are

you smiling at?

You still don't see it,

do you?

You could've run,

any time.

You would've come

looking for me.

But you could've run.

You didn't.

You

hid 20 miles

from us.

You wanted to be found.

No.

I wanted out.

You wanted to be the

man who wanted out.

Wanted to fight.

Needed to fight.

You missed it.

You could've ambushed us

with automatic weapons, no?

You, you wanted to kill

Malick with your bare hands.

You wanted to look

me in the eye

before I die.

I didn't want anything

to happen to her.

I know, Lance, I know.

But,

here we are.

You bring death

wherever you go.

First time I saw you,

I knew you were a

force of nature.

You were born to kill-
