The women. The... The con women.

Somebody just tried to withdraw $50,000

from my client's account.

So, what are you gonna do? Call the cops now?

Yeah. Yeah, on the way.

Dex, call the cops, please!

Okay. Your services are no longer needed,

The life.

Look, this woman she's with... Megan...

she's the dangerous one, okay?

She's the one who's forced Katrina into this career.

And the only way that Megan

is ever gonna leave Katrina alone

is if... is if she's paid off.

Okay, so, that's what the money is for?

Yes! That's why I need to go right now by myself

so Katrina and I can be together.

Allen, has Megan ever threatened you?

No! No.

At least let the police do the drop with you.

No! No! No, no, no, no, no.

You cannot do this by yourself.

I can, and I will!

I do!

Can... Can I pay you tomorrow?
