Okay, here goes my guess:
SPOILERS
Okay, remember the Fitzpatricks from last season? Big bad crime family? It was mentioned that Kendall used to run cons with Cormac Fitzpatrick, and that she once went to prison to spare him the three-strikes law because she loved him. She had a ton of money- from the Phoenix Land Trust, I guess- and wanted to leave the country for some unspecified beach place. No doubt someplace with no strong extradition laws. That's why she came to Keith with the briefcase full of money- she probably paid him a LOT for the job, enough to get Veronica that new car.
The problem with Kendall and Cormac running off into the sunset is Cormac's brother Liam, the guy who tried to shoot Keith last season. He'd probably want some of the money, too. So the plan as
Kendall saw it was that Keith would pick up Cormac, get him and Kendall fake documents, and get them together so they could escape the country.
What was
really happening was a double cross- Cormac was lying to Kendall and actually working with Liam to grab all the money from the Land Trust for the Fitzpatricks. That's why he killed Kendall and needed to kill Keith to get rid of any witnesses. He needed to pretend to be part of Kendall's plan so that he could get access to the money through her.
Um, I think that's it, anyway.
