Part 7/8:
As the plot thickens, whispers of violence in Frank’s world culminate in tragedy. He learns of Pendler’s demise—a byproduct of the criminal empire they once were part of. The news brings mixed feelings of grief and relief, and Frank ultimately understands that he cannot escape the past without severing ties with it once and for all.
Choosing a New Path
With echoes of his decisions and the weight of the life he lived, Frank resolves to forge a new path. Turning down Pendler's last request marks a definitive refusal to let his past dictate his future. The chance to return to a normal life, alongside the specter of his mother in need, leads Frank to a pivotal choice—one that could either doom him to a cycle of violence or grant him the chance to build something meaningful.
