Realizing he has failed the mission, Richard decides to mortgage his home to come up with the full $80,000 to pay off Deidre’s debt. With the cash in hand, he returns to the club, determined to settle the score. Deidre, having learned of his plan, rushes to join him, insisting she stand by her father in this dangerous moment. Together, they face Marco and his gang, offering the full payment.
However, Marco is furious about the loss of the car and the hidden cargo it contained. He demands more money and even pulls a gun on Deidre, ready to punish her for the supposed loss. Just as the situation reaches a breaking point, police sirens wail outside the club. The authorities storm in, arresting Marco and his men, revealing that they were tipped off by the discovery of the sunken car, which led them to Marco’s criminal enterprise.
As the dust settles, Richard and Deidre are escorted to safety by the police. In the aftermath, Deidre, ashamed and emotional, apologizes to her father for dragging him into her mess. Richard reassures her, reminding her that family comes first and that no matter what, he will always be there for her. He expresses regret that Deidre felt she couldn’t turn to him for help earlier and promises that they will rebuild their relationship from here.
