Of course, when doing business in this way must be delivered in the United States, heroin without intermediaries, and Frank has found a way to organize this: drew to tranSport drug War, at that moment, guiding combat operations in Vietnam. All this allowed Frank not just to survive and to get rich, but to earn in the criminal world indisputable authority. But all that made Lucas, was threatened when on his track attacked a fundamentally honest and incorruptible New York City COP named Richie Roberts. Their recent confrontation much put at stake.
