Miami who cannot leave the state due to his upcoming trial. Tony begins to make increasingly demanding offers. Omar, fearing for his life, angrily demands that Tony stop making such outrageous offers without Frank's consent.

Florida. Sosa then explains that Omar was actually an informant, and then gives Tony binoculars to see Omar being thrown out of and hung by the neck on the same helicopter he was flying home.
