While she's running away, Richard meets another hitman named Robert Pronge who nearly kills Alex. Before he leaves however, he finds Alex in the closet who's close to the same age as his daughters, so he lets her go with a warning. Richard tells Roy over the phone that he hasn't seen Josh in a while and Roy tells him he believes him, but then tells Richard to kill Marty anyways, which he does after forcing him to pray to have God stop him from killing him to no avail. Richard goes to one of Josh's friends, a man named Marty Freeman, while he's in the middle of making a porno with a 17 year old girl named Alex who hides in the closet when he arrives. Because of this and how he said he was related to Roy DeMeo like he had before, Leonard Marks (a Gambino Family capo) tells Ray that Richard isn't allowed to do any work to provide for his family until Josh is killed to make things even. The next year during a drug deal, Josh murders two drug dealers and then steals both the money and cocaine, angering the Colombian mafia. One day while out on dinner with Deborah and several of their friends, talking about how they met and what they do for a living, with Richard saying he does 'Currency Exchange'. Roy then tests Richard by telling him to murder a homeless man for no reason, which he does by shooting him several times in the stomach and chest, then pays him as they all leave and warns him to not kill anyone for anybody else.ДЇor the next 10 years, Richard works for Roy doing whatever he's asked without questions: whether it be murdering people or collecting debts, and uses his payments to support his wife and daughters. After parking their car, Roy pulls a gun on Richard and much to his surprise, he is not shocked or scared of Roy at all. The next morning, he meets with Roy and Mickey who bring him into the city of New Jersey. Later that night while Richard is dubbing pornographic films from outside the United States, he is met by mob boss Roy DeMeo and his underlings Mickey Scicoli and Josh Rosenthal, who tell him to fill seven more boxes worth of movies by the next day and to meet them afterwards. On September 14th of 1965, Richard goes to a hospital after his wife Deborah after she has their first daughter. Despite his friends telling him he's not worth the trouble, Richard slashes his throat once he's in his car, steals his wallet and car keys, then leaves his body there.

As Earl left drunkenly, he insults Deborah, and leaves to his car. He then goes to a pool table club with a few of his friends and a man named Earl, who repeatedly insults Richard and refuses to pay him for their bet on who'd win until Richard threatened him to pay up.
