You might call him the spiritual leader

So, uh, what did you find out?

215
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:20,767
The buzz is that Carlos was taken down
by this guy called the Pagan.

216
00:17:20,939 --> 00:17:24,773
- He's the reigning king of the ring.
- They say that the Pagan pulverized Carlos.

217
00:17:24,943 --> 00:17:26,035
Yeah, as in killed him?

218
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:28,509
Yeah. Supposedly Pan and Pagan
are a team.

How many people were there tonight?

220
00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:31,983
I don't know, maybe a hundred.

221
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:34,551
All of them with lots of dough
to throw around.

222
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,883
It's an incognito
but very high-end crowd.

we're gonna take them down.

Oh, my brother was the tough one.

- Was?
CONCHOBAR: He was killed.

- No, he wasn't killed that way.
- Thanks.

264
00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,637
He was killed in Ireland last year
by the usual suspects.

named Sara once.

DANNY:
The only problem with a raid tonight...

295
00:23:10,122 --> 00:23:12,113
...is Pagan won't be there
since he isn't fighting.

296
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:13,882
So we corral Eddie Pan, the ringleader...

297
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:16,050
...and question him
in a very aggressive manner...

298
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:17,889
...until he tells us who the Pagan is.

299
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,394
It looks good on paper.

300
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:22,227
What, do you guys wanna
keep on fighting?

301
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:23,800
No, but we do wanna get Pagan.

302
00:23:23,969 --> 00:23:26,597
We do wanna put Eddie Pan away
for as long as possible.

303
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:29,570
That means we should probably wait
until the big fight against Pagan.

304
00:23:29,741 --> 00:23:32,005
I know, but somebody could get hurt
before that...

305

...including one of you two cowboys.

306
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:38,040
It's not like anyone's forcing
these guys to fight. They like it.

307
00:23:38,216 --> 00:23:40,707
If you ask me, the guys fighting
are as guilty as Eddie Pan.

308
00:23:40,886 --> 00:23:43,878
Well, tell that to Carlos Ramon's mom.

309
00:23:44,055 --> 00:23:46,046
See, I think that the whole thing
is orchestrated...

310
00:23:46,224 --> 00:23:49,216
...and that Eddie Pan plans for a killing
in the championship.

311
00:23:49,394 --> 00:23:51,760
It's show business at its bloody best.

312

The sooner we get rid of this guy,
the better.

if you wait one more night...

of getting Eddie Pan and the Pagan.
