Eenie Meanie

In the finale we finally see how the tangled web of favors and betrayals unravels. John, pressed by his boss Nico after a botched burglary, is forced to kidnap Nico’s star card‑counter, Leo, and drag him into a high‑stakes poker showdown that was supposed to cover Nico’s losses. When Leo is injured the plan falls apart, and Nico gives John one last chance: steal the three‑million‑dollar prize from the Hollywood Casino’s tournament, with the help of “the Chaperone” and his right‑hand man Gary.

Edie, who has been working for Nico for years and is pregnant with John’s child, agrees to the job. The heist seems to go smoothly until an old rival, Perm Walters, shows up and tries to take the money for himself. John and Edie manage to kill Perm, but the violence escalates. After they reunite with the Chaperone and Gary, John surprises everyone by turning on his own partners, murdering both of them so he and Edie can flee with the cash.

When Edie discovers John’s cold‑blooded killing, she realizes that his presence has become a liability too great to ignore. In a swift, decisive act she kills John, grabs her share of the loot, and goes straight to Nico to expose what really happened. Confronted with the truth, Nico learns that the real traitor was George, his longtime confidant and lover, who had been siphoning money for his own needs and had set Perm on the trail. The revelation forces Nico to see how his blind loyalty to George had cost him everything.

With the $600,000 she is allotted (twenty percent of the prize), Edie builds a new life. She opens Meaney Auto Repair, moves into a house that finally has the two‑bathroom layout she has always imagined, and welcomes her baby boy, John Jr., into the world. Her old friend “Baby Girl” moves in, creating the family she always wanted—one built on her own hard‑won stability rather than on the shaky promises of a criminal partnership. The ending leaves us with Edie looking out over this modest, yet earned, future, having turned the chaos of the heist into a foundation for herself and her child.
