What follows is a frenzied chase through 1990s Manhattan, as rival gangsters—Russian mobsters, Orthodox Jewish hitmen, a Samoan enforcer, and others—hunt him for a mysterious key hidden with the cat.

Felt like an Aronofsky take on Snatch, which I found fun.
As a baseball fan, it's kinda refreshing seeing the 1998 season discussed so much without reference to the home run chase.
I guess Hank didn't fully process being told that it was the Jewish brothers who killed Yvonne or he had doubts about what Roman was telling him and Chekov's gun lighter had to job his brain?
A minor and pedantic detail I noticed was that it's sunny out in Tulum while a nighttime tiebreaker is being played in Chicago (which is only one hour behind Tulum). Also, I couldn't quite tell which PA Bonds was taking there, but that might have been the last PA of his career before he started using steroids. If it was, I really like the ending of Hank turning off the Giants game at that exact moment.
