After the team leaves, a Russian thug enters the shop and asks where the owner of the car is, in which Darwen answers with "Unfortunately for you, he just left". Darwen informs Vinnie of this.

Darwen gave a sniper rifle to Vinnie and said that this sniper rifle spits as much lead as an apache and said to be careful with rifle. Vinnie said that Darwen like a father to him, and Darwen said: "Come on. Get out, son!". When Vinnie, Kiro and Shorty are burned Luzio's money down, Vinnie and his crew start waiting for the time to kill Luzio, but at the same time, Darwen fixed the car and Jackson stabbed Darwen's hand with katana, and Luzio approached to Darwen with shotgun to kill Darwen and using him like a bait to set Vinnie in the trap. Darwen refused telling, where's Vinnie and said Luzio that Vinnie will crash Luzio's bones for that, but Luzio killed Darwen. On the next morning, Vinnie and his crew found Darwen's corpse and letter from Luzio and Jackson to visit them in Dock 28. Darwen was buried by Vinnie on the shore of Darwen's favorite lake, and Vinnie payed his respects to him.
