History
Sift Heads - Cartels Act 2

Sam was behind Vinnie at that time saying that they wanted to catch live Luzio, he also explains that after the death of Commissioner, Vinnie became a "ghost", but still they managed to follow in his footsteps. Vinnie says that they would not be able to leave Luzio in jail, and it would be better if he kills himself. Vinnie then escapes the site, along with Shorty. As Vinnie had said before, they could not leave Luzio in jail. Kate says Vinnie was right; Sam says she was beginning to wonder a criminal. She says "he settled down the organization better than we did," Sam does not care what she says and walks away.
