In "Trust", Carl had to fire half of his staff for economical problems. He discovered that Jack sold his boat to help him and got angry with him. Jack told him that they will get throught this.

Almost ten years later, they are still having money problems, arousing a lifelong dissatisfaction from his youngest son, Declan. After an argument with Declan, Carl collapses and dies from a heart attack. Long before this, he had asked Jack to not give him a burial and just scatter his ashes across the sea, which Jack later does without the guilt-stricken Declan.

Carl also makes an appearance in a flashback in the episode "Lineage", where his involvment in the fatal shooting of Joe Ryan, father of Kenny and Nate Ryan, is revealed. On Thanksgiving of 2006, he was threatened by Joe for refusing to pay "protection money". When he met Joe at a dock to pay, Joe was shot and killed by Matt Duncan, who was getting revenge for his daughter, who had been injured by one of Joe's men, and fell in the water. When Jack heard the gunshots, Carl quickly turned on an outboard motorboat to make it look like he had heard it backfire and sent him back to the house. Afterwards, Carl took Matt's gun and hid it for him.
