As Nikolai is about to kill Ralphie, who stayed behind to help, Robert kills him with a nail gun. Nikolai arrives with his men, whom Robert kills them one by one with improvised weapons collected throughout the hardware store. To Nikolai's surprise, Robert skips the meeting with Nikolai and instead kills the men guarding the hostages. In response, Nikolai abducts Robert's co-workers at the hardware store to force him to meet. He later destroys two of Pushkin's oil tankers. He confronts Nikolai again, threatening to do more damage if he continues to pursue him. Masters and Pushkin's men are taken into custody when the police arrive, and they find a note left by Robert to "follow the money". Robert tracks Masters down and threatens him into helping take down one of Pushkin's money laundering warehouses.

Aided by Boston PD detectives on Pushkin's payroll, Teddy canvases rival gangs in the area, nearly beating Irish mob lieutenant "Little John" Looney to death to send a message. Teddy Rensen, Pushkin's enforcer, arrives in Boston to investigate the attack. Unbeknownst to Robert, Slavi and his men were part of a much larger syndicate led by Russian oligarch Vladimir Pushkin. Robert expertly kills the men and leaves. Robert finds Slavi and his men at their restaurant and offers to buy Alina's freedom, which Slavi bluntly refuses. Upon hearing the news, Robert travels there and learns from her friend Mandy, another prostitute, that Slavi is responsible. He hands a stunned Robert his business card and drives away.Īlina is badly beaten and admitted into the ICU at a nearby hospital. Her pimp Slavi abruptly arrives, hits Alina, and forces her into the car.
