Outline

Barry takes his share of the money from Fuches before assaulting him and telling him that he is done with his life of crime. Fuches tells Pazar that Barry is alive and should be killed, but Pazar prepares to kill Fuches instead. NoHo Hank alerts Barry, who promptly kills Pazar and his gang, and forces Fuches out of Los Angeles. Hank takes over leadership of the Chechens and organises with the Bolivians. Moss discovers Ryan’s copy of Gene’s book in Taylor’s apartment, believing the two had teamed up to bait the Chechens and Bolivians into war. The LAPD discover Barry’s massacre and conclude the Bolivians were responsible, closing the case and posthumously staining Ryan’s reputation. Barry rejoins the acting class, and starts a relationship with Sally. A few weeks later, Gene invites Barry, Sally and Moss to his country home, where Moss becomes suspicious of Barry after learning he goes by his stage name “Barry Block”. Her suspicion is further propelled when Gene tells Moss of the monologue Barry gave about being a hitman – and confirmed when she discovers a link between Barry, Chris, and Taylor on Facebook. Barry begs her not to pursue things further. When she refuses, Barry retrieves a hidden gun and shots ring out; it is unclear whether Moss survived. Barry returns to the still-sleeping Sally, and declares, yet again, that his criminal life is over.
