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.

Fuck!

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.

- Hey, wait, wait
- No, don't touch me!

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-
