The girls are likely being held in my cousin's compound. It is a monastery that they use as a cover, but it is a fortress. It is impenetrable. There are walls on every side. Any escape routes? Tunnels. But with metal doors that only open from the inside. Even if it weren't for all of the armed guards, it is impossible to get in. I mean, this psychopath is gonna kill our daughter in 12 hours. So, what the fuck are we gonna do?

Okay, cool. Very dramatic answer. How's that supposed to work? Lucas is trying to form an alliance with Sergio baldassari, the head of the calabero crime family. Baldassari, I mean, no one has seen him for 15 years. Exactly. And since no one has seen him no one knows exactly what he looks like. Olivia. Nick says that you were an incredible makeup artist when you met. So, with some prosthetics and a little makeup... Then I could play Sergio.

You don't think I'll kill him? No, I think if you were gonna kill him, you would have done it by now. So, no, I don't think you'll do it.

It is good to see you, Sergio. Been far too long. You okay? My people will show you to a room. Freshen up, and then, we'll talk. God, how does my ear look? He almost cut off my ear. Shit! We've only got about 15 minutes, Nick. We've gotta go find addy. I know. I know. According to Javi's map, they're probably holding her in the basement of the building right here.
