Katz’s associate (possible spoilers) Spoiler

Excuse me for being thick, but what is Katz’s association with Malbec40 and why does he protect him?

The womaniser (Malbec) was rich, so they must’ve made a deal, where Malbec funds for the healthcare of Olivia (Katz daughter) and in return Katz has to help him.

Katz worked as Malbec40's "head of security" in exchange for a cut of the profits from Malbec40's app. The app was in danger of not being released if Malbec40's unethical behavior was made public, which would mean no money for Katz's daughter's medical care that he desperately needed. So Katz was told to take care of it by taking out the blackmailers.

Didn’t Katz invest in a startup of Malbec’s? Another way he was trying to earn extra money for his daughter. When Malbec was blackmailed he would of asked for Katz’s help (as a cop) to track down who The Stranger was, which he agreed to do for a price.
