Vincent’s nefarious activities are exposed as he is revealed to have been peddling a potent form of Fenethylline to terrorist cells, using Vitale’s vineyard as a front. Expanding his ruthlessness, he dispatches his younger brother Marco to extort money from Altamonte’s citizens, aiming to transform the village into a network of casinos and hotels. McCall intervenes, thwarting Marco and his men, who threaten Altamonte’s chief of police for probing their illicit dealings. Infuriated, Vincent attempts to intimidate the townspeople into betraying McCall but is thwarted by their defiant filming and Enzo’s intervention. Under the cover of night, McCall infiltrates Vincent’s mansion, dispatching guards in increasingly brutal ways. Confronting Vincent, McCall force-feeds him a lethal dose of Fenethylline, calmly setting a countdown on his trademark stopwatch, allowing less than 20 minutes to live. He releases Vincent, trailing him to Altamonte’s streets, where, in a chilling sequence, the crime lord succumbs to his own product’s effects, culminating in a fatal collision that aligns with the poetic justice reminiscent of Akira Kurosawa’s influence, particularly evident in Fuqua’s love for Seven Samurai.
