The Ambush on the Penguin and Hangman was Nadia Maroni's failed attempt to execute Penguin and Hangman outside of the Apex.
History[]
Prior to the ambush, the Penguin met with Sal Maroni in Blackgate Penitentiary to strike a deal. The Maroni Crime Family agreed to claim responsibility for the death of Alberto Falcone. In return, the Penguin would maintain his position Falcone Crime Family and sabotage any major operations. This was to avoid arousing suspicion from the Hangman, who had not considered the Penguin as the culprit for her brother's murder. Despite going through with the deal, the Penguin planned to play both families in order to increase his own status in the criminal underworld.
During an initiative to sell a new drug to the Triads, Penguin and the Hangman were confronted by Nadia Maroni. Nadia subsequently revealed that she had known about the Penguin's plan to double cross her family.
The execution was foiled when Victor Aguilar crashed the Penguin's car into the lot. Victor and the Penguin were successfully able to escape in the car. Although abandoned, the Hangman managed to hideaway during the ensuing chaos. Before passing out, she called Julian Rush to rescue her from the scene.
Aftermath[]
Because of the ambush, the Hangman was able to uncover that the Penguin was responsible for the death of Alberto Falcone. Furthermore, the Maronis were able to steal all the Bliss being sold that night.
