Summary

 * “Do the Wrong Thing”

Detective Joey Quinn arrives at La Vida, thinking that he’s meeting Nadia for a date. The girl at the reception desk tells him that his other party has already arrived. However, when Quinn is escorted to his table, he finds George Novikov instead of Nadia waiting for him. Quinn leans over and threatens to put a bullet through George’s head if he hurts Nadia.

"George: “Easy, detective. Don't make a scene. Nadia is a valuable commodity. We wouldn't do that. Not unless we had to.” Quinn: “What do you want from me?” George: “I don't want shit. But Isaak Sirko, he wants you to lose the blood evidence linking him to the Colombian murders.” Quinn: Why the fuck would I do that for you?” George: “Well, you took our money for starters.” Quinn: “And I gave it back. I don't owe you shit.” George: “Not the way Isaak sees it. Now, he did you a favor by taking out those Colombian scumbags. As soon as you let him go, he'll head back to the Ukraine. You'll never hear from him again. It's not that big a deal.” Quinn: “Then find someone else.” George: “Now why would we do that when we have you? Joey, come on. You know we got you.” Quinn: “What happens if I don't cooperate?” George: “I'm thinking of transferring Nadia to one of our sex clubs in Dubai. But she's a strong girl. She'll last a couple weeks before she slits her wrists.” Quinn: “If I do this... Nadia's a free woman. You give me her fucking passport, understand?” George: “Deal. And I'll do you one better. You can even keep the cash.” [He places a stuffed paper bag on the table.) “See, Joe? Just like old times.”"

As soon as George leaves, Quinn calls Nadia but she doesn’t answer.
