Mitch goes to a bank early in the morning and wires $10 million from an account in the Cayman Islands to an account opened by Tammy. He wires $1 million to an account opened in his mother’s name and another million to an account belonging to Abby’s parents. Finally, he moves $7 million to a Swiss bank account and leaves a million in the original account for Tammy.

DeVasher’s people make a claim of rape against Ray and name Abby as his accomplice, causing a multi-state search for them both. Ray and Abby are in Panama City Beach and Mitch instructs them to move to a small motel where they are less likely to be noticed. He promises to meet them that night. Abby cuts and dyes her hair. Mitch arrives and takes Ray and Abby to another motel up the road. They unpack the U-Haul and settle in, hoping to hide out for a few days.
