[=McCoy=] questions why Rogis seems more concerned with the restaurant's reputation than the risk of a life sentence. The prosecutors discover that Baldo called Raimondo's on the day King went to him. With the risk of losing his immunity to prosecution, Baldo admits the truth. King just wanted Rogis to scare Mitchell into paying up - Paul Raimondo, the owner of the restaurant, is the one who wanted Mitchell dead. Rogis' gun is found in Raimondo's car, and a wiretap from the restaurant confirms Raimondo conspired with Baldo and Rogis. So Raimondo is charged with murder. He thinks Mitchell and King deserved to die for "disrespecting" him, and is pleased that King's still going to jail for conspiracy to armed robbery.
