On the pier, Cyrus meets with Jason, who he sees as in charge of Sonny’s business now that Sonny’s gone and hopes Jason will be more reasonable. Cyrus wants Jason to open the piers to let his product in, says Jason won’t have to get his hands dirty, and he’ll give him thirty percent of the profits.

Jason pulls his own gun, and Brando appears aiming one at Jason. Carly then struts into the confrontation with some of Sonny’s armed men, and Cyrus is forced to drop his gun along with Brando.
