Warning: This post contains spoilers for <\/em>Black Rabbit<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n By the time Black Rabbit<\/em> arrives at its eighth and final episode, it’s hard to believe brothers Jake (Jude Law<\/a>) and Vince Friedkin (Jason Bateman<\/a>) are going to manage to find a way out of the pretty massive mess they’ve created for themselves. But if there’s one thing you’re rooting for as the show careens to a bittersweet finish, it’s that the shaky-but-unmistakable bond between the brothers will hold until the end credits of the Netflix limited series roll.<\/p>\n Now streaming, husband-and-wife creators Zach Baylin and Kate Susman’s gritty crime thriller centers on the Friedkin brothers’ dealings surrounding the titular downtown Manhattan restaurant, an establishment we learn started as a joint venture between the pair. However, depending on who you ask, troubled addict Vince was either bailed or forced out of ownership of the Rabbit a few years prior after a pattern of misbehavior culminated in him making a drunken bet that resulted in an employee’s paralysis. By the time Vince returns to town, Jake and his famous musician business partner Wes (Sope Dirisu) have turned the Rabbit into one of the city’s trendiest establishments. But Jake isn’t without his own issues, including escalating money troubles and a habit of looking the other way when powerful men do bad things to vulnerable young women on his watch.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s really about these brothers who love each other but don\u2019t match\u2014one\u2019s a screw-up, and the other is much more buttoned up,” Bateman told Netflix’s Tudum<\/a>. “Everybody can relate to that. Everybody\u2019s either got a sibling, or a friendship where you love being with one another, but it\u2019s kind of dangerous; where that person usually gets you in trouble, but they\u2019re really exciting to be around.”<\/p>\n Following the reveal that Vince was one of the masked thieves behind the violent robbery of the Rabbit’s high-end jewelry showcase\u2014and the person who shot and killed Junior (Forrest Weber), the son of crime boss Joe Mancuso (Troy Kotsur), to prevent him from murdering Jake alongside Wes\u2014the brothers’ situation becomes more precarious than ever. Jake was the one who initially came up with the idea for the robbery in a desperate attempt to erase Vince’s debts to Mancuso. However, he called the whole thing off after Campbell (Morgan Spector), the fixer of VIP Rabbit regular and repeat sexual assaulter Jules Zablonski (John Ales), offered Jake $500,000 in exchange for him deleting the surveillance footage of Jules slipping drugs into the drink of Rabbit bartender Anna (Abbey Lee), who was then accidentally killed as a result of the brothers’ mistakes. Jake used the bribe money to pay off Mancuso, but he didn’t account for Junior viewing the robbery as a way to prove himself to his father, and recruiting an angry Vince to join him in the endeavor.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Jude Law and Jason Bateman\u2019s Brother Act Is the Reason to Watch Netflix Thriller <\/em>Black Rabbit<\/a><\/p>\nWhat happens to Vince?<\/h2>\n
