that puts a bigger target on your back?

317
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,531
We don't need protection.

318
00:17:12,531 --> 00:17:16,535
Everybody needs protection. Come on.

319
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:21,790
- What's the number?
- Oh, I don't know.

320
00:17:22,791 --> 00:17:27,796
Maybe... 50 Gs a week.

321
00:17:29,631 --> 00:17:30,632
For now.

322
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:49,359

"Who hit Steels?" "Who hit Steels?"

326
00:17:59,369 --> 00:18:01,580
Now what would you do
with all that information?

327
00:18:02,831 --> 00:18:04,291
Except spill more blood.

328
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:08,462
Now, drugs we can abide.

331
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:21,058
I ain't kill nobody, son.

332
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:24,019
Sure you didn't.

333

I figured we gotta do somethin'
about that.

on the inside, go about it that way.
