Lucca travels to a small Florida beach town to find Amy Holder, identified from security footage Devon captured around the Fort Worth Tate job. At Amy’s guarded pink house, Lucca leaves a phone number and the real name she rarely shares, inviting Amy to choose a public meeting.

Five days later at a crowded farmer’s market, Amy tests Lucca’s claims. Lucca confirms Amy entered the Tate home after her and unknowingly took the forgery Lucca planted, earning Amy a reprimand. Amy had been told the job was a competitive test with a bonus for the winner.

Lucca then reveals Devon identified multiple operatives sent to the Tate job—and all but Amy died soon after in accidents or sudden illnesses. Lucca frames this as Mr. Smith “cleaning house,” arguing that he cannot simply fire people who know too much.

Lucca proposes they take Mr. Smith down: gather leverage, uncover his true identity, find someone he has crossed, and hand him over—controlling the “explosion” to limit fallout. Amy, wary and protective of someone close to her, warns how brutal Mr. Smith can be when defied but does not walk away.

The meeting ends with Lucca resolute and Amy cautiously considering the plan. Their conversation marks the beginning of a deliberate, protective strategy to dismantle Mr. Smith.
