- The case against Luca is dropped, so Luca gives in to his inner demons to celebrate the fact that he now owns Vegas and the cops can't touch him. Torello uses these Luca's personal flaws and violent tendencies against him.
- The Justice Department's case against the Outfit has been destroyed. Ray Luca, Max Goldman & Steve Kordo now rule, on behalf of Manny Weisbord's national crime syndicate, Las Vegas's biggest casino operation. Now rich, powerful & even admired, now completely safe from prosecution by Mike Torrello & David Abrams, Ray Luca has only one enemy left: his own addiction to violent, risky excitement. As the Task Force starts over again from scratch, Ray flagrantly cheats at cards, assaults casino patrons & starts an affair with Goldman's wife. Though the Task Force has identified the Outfit's skim courier, Abrams warns that hindering him without a warrant will blow the whole case. Torrello outlines a strategy to use Luca's faults against him, first bringing a case to suspend his gaming license, then making Weisbord believe, through a deception worked on Goldman, that Luca is stealing from the skim. When Luca retaliates violently against Goldman, Abrams & Torrello try to turn Goldman into a protected witness, but without success. Yet Ray Luca can't fight the enemy within: drunk with victory over Goldman, Torrello & Abrams, he celebrates by violating the girlfriend of the last true & loyal friend he has: Paulie Taglia.
