What's really going on
The scene is a family visit doing the work of a money laundering plan. Jordan needs Aunt Emma because she is respectable, European, and trusted, and he plays the loving nephew while she does the actual hiding. She is not fooled for a second. She reads his sweat, names his appetites, and lands the real question: "Sometimes I wonder if you let money get the best of you, my love." He answers by confessing everything, which is both a joke and the truth. The warmth between them is real, but so is the transaction underneath it: care and crime in the same conversation.
Theme
MoneyThe visit is really a laundering errand: family affection and cash are handled in the same breath.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Jordan go to London to see Aunt Emma?
To hide money. He can't keep so much cash himself, and his aunt lives abroad with a respectable name, so he asks her to hold it.
Does Aunt Emma realize Jordan is using her?
She understands far more than he says. She teases him about sweat, risk, and his appetites, which shows she knows what he is and still chooses to help.
What does "Money talks" mean?
It means money gets results and buys influence while everyone without it is ignored. Aunt Emma uses it to sum up how the world treats the rich.
Who helps move the money out of the country?
Brad, a drug dealer with European connections, and his wife Chantalle, who was born in Switzerland. Their passports make them useful for transporting the cash.
