but he stopped himself when he saw the man’s kid

Toronto later regretted it because the man went on to commit a rampage

He says that when he finishes this job he wants to open up his own restaurant and not kill anymore

At the hotel Marin and Daniela meet with The Handler and Miami

They find that the thumb that Miami stole

to set off a bomb that will kill the Venezuelan president doesn’t work

as Mr. Green was actually the main thug that did the interrogation

Teddy shows up and poses as Toronto

even though The Handler tries to convince Marin that it’s not him

The FBI shows up and arrests Marin and Daniela but The Handler and Miami escape

Toronto ends up taking the payment that The Handler would have collected
