I can be the one to save your life.

I can be.

Hey, I'm coming, coming.

Traffic all the way back to George Washington Bridge.

The city is getting worse.

Tinky had a heart attack.

Tinky?

One of the men I play cards with.

Is it serious?

It is a heart attack.

Heart attacks have all levels of severity.

It's an intensive care.

So?

Why are you telling me this?

Because the... No.

Maybe... No. One game... I don't play cards.

Easy.

I don't play cards.

Okay.

Seven cards stud, 200 for the first buy-in, 10 and 20 for the

blinds. Charlie, Charlie, I said no.

What?

No, no, I'm busy.

Would it hurt you to actually have a night out, meet people?

I meet people.

All the time in here.

You know what I mean.

Make friends.

I have friends.

Who?

You, you tub of guts.

You think we're friends?

I... Come on. One game.

I'm busy.

Just tell Kinky that I, uh... I hope he doesn't die.

Alright.

Welcome in.

Let me know if you need some help.

How much are these?

The chrysanthemums.

Let's see.

How much for the chrysanthemums?

Thirty-five.

$35.

Yeah, that's a little out of my price range.

Well, what is your price range?

Um, $5.

It's a birthday present, if that helps.

Also, um... Sorry, I know it's a little... Either of you have...

seen this boy?

What's that?

I don't think I have.

Who's this?

My little brother.

Oh.

How long has he been missing?

Three months.

Almost four.

Can I keep this? We'll pass it up here.

Let you know if we see anything.

Oh, that's... Yeah, thanks.

Oh.

Your first time customer $5 for

Fuck off

eat shit

Oh, my God.

I hope you like them.

Oh,

my God, they're beautiful.

They reminded me of you because the other day you said... That's beautiful.

Can you drop this off to Loy later?

It's just I'm so tired of him texting me.

I'm sorry, cariño, that I have you always doing this. I kind of feel bad.

Thank you. They're great.

I'm glad you like them.

Yes.

from the afterlife.

They don't have wifi here, so I had to use a ghost phone.

Oh, you're holding all those for someone, Charlie?

I am keeping it for you.

Raise. You betting or just keeping your seat warm?

I'm out.

He's out.

Weren't you going to bring your friend tonight?

Call. Your flower buddy?

What's his name?

Ryker doesn't do cards.

He could still come to the game, have a drink.

You know, he's a quiet man.

Alright, everybody in?

Raise. $1,500.

Oh, big shot.

Okay, show your hands.

Three of a kind.

I think I win.

Yes, good be ready in 30

Shits better be

important, huh?

Green light Raise Charlie what the

fuck something came up?

in and out job.

Narco operation out of a shithole hotel just over the bridge.

I'll drop you a pin.

It's a clean hit.

I vetted this myself.

Execute accordingly.

If anything goes wrong, I brought Fiona.

If anything goes wrong, Fiona can only make it worse.

You're looking for something, old man?

I heard that this was a

place where a man could indulge himself.

What's with the back?

It matches my jacket.

Thank God you got here.

I've been waiting for a minute like you.

Nothing but freaks and losers.

They treat you okay here?

Yeah, as far as you're concerned.

Mm-hmm.

No, no, no, you don't understand. This bitch was screaming her goddamn head off

in the middle of the parking lot, like a bunch of Ukrainian bound, right? I don't

understand what she's saying. So I go to the room, and this fat fuck she's

banging is face down, dead on the floor from a fucking heart attack.

I mean, like, the shit I'm supposed to deal with, right?

The burden of leadership on me, you got degenerates who don't appreciate it.

You're late.

Again. Probably next time, too.

Fucking toddlers.

All right, come on.

Stay put. Wait here.

I forgot my cigarettes.

Yeah, we need those.

Yeah. They have a machine in the office, yes?

Yes, can you get them?

All right.

Well... I'll be right

back.

You just...

Take a rest.

You're like really hot.

You guys hear something?

Fuck this.

Are you pleased with yourself?

Absolument.

Hey, Hutton, you got a second?

Yeah.

Some of the bodies have already been identified as cartel members.

Narcs found two kilos of hard rock and over 5,000 pills.

Was there anyone there when they arrived?

One girl, drugged out of her mind. She slept through the whole thing.

Did she talk?

Nah, she's too scared.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. No.

Who on the ground knows about Martinez?

First responders.

Bounding with his badge still in his pocket.

I'm leaving the motel.

Meet me at 15.

Admin's going to twist this entire story to the press.

But they have me on internal investigation.

I know Martinez has been... working on 35th with the Midtown Vice Unit for the

last three years.

Do you think he was just a client?

I goddamn hope so.

Good job, good job. You keep practicing, alright? You keep practicing.

Good job.

I'll be right back.

So,

How fucked are we?

Pretty fucked.

Jesus.

I'm sorry, Will.

How many others?

Almost all of them.

So apparently there was only one shooter.

Some.

Fucking mercenary.

Their goal was definitely to hurt us. Or them.

As much as possible.

Pretty good fucking job of that.

Hutton's leading the investigation.

He's good.

They're out there right now trying to find one of those girls. Seeing if they

can flip them, make them talk.

Have they had any luck?

Not yet, but... They know our faces.

Good spot is in a parade, especially me.

Okay, so we just turn up the heat on him.

Scare the shit out of him. I don't want to talk to my son through plexiglass

while he survives off handouts from the state because some little junkie decided

that she's going to sing like a fucking nightingale.

We tie up the loose ends.

All of them.

Then we figure out who the fuck this shooter is.

We take him out.

What happens if the Diablos find out that we're fucking with their

distribution?

They won't.

You do it tonight.

All right.

Let's go, Alex. Come on.

One of the men you killed was a cop.

I guess the people upstairs didn't think to share that information.

Mayor's calling him a hero.

This is bad.

Everything will be fine.

I just need you two to lay low.

For a bit.

Oh, the people upstairs, they gave you the authority to clean everything up.

Excuse me? I mean, I just say... You better hope they gave me the authority.

Because if someone comes after you, they're coming after me.

What are these hits about?

They were pimping girls out of the place, young girls.

It was fucked up.

Los hijos del diablo. We keep coming back.

Have some faith in me.

I always take care of you guys, do I not?

I mean, I can't let anything happen to my best men, right?

I'll be in touch.

Where's the girl? What the fuck?

What are you doing in my house? Where's the girl?

What the fuck are you? What are you doing in my house?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm, calm. Keep it cool, keep it cool.

Are you fucking serious? Where the fuck is the runner?

Keep it cool, keep it cool.

What the fuck is wrong with you? We just want the girl, okay?

Take that fucking gun out of my fucking face. Where the fuck is the runner?

Take the fucking gun out of my fucking face!

Shit.

Fuck.

He's dead, Will.

Oh my god.

Oh fuck.

He's fucking dead.

You fucking piece of shit! Fucking asshole! Where the fuck is he?

STEERS!

That's it. That's it.

That's one.

In

there.

In there.

Let me know if you need any help.

Remember me?

From the flower shop?

You okay?

Not really.

There's two men out there trying to kill me.

I'll have a look.

You stay here.

You know this guy?

Nope.

Fuck, is he calling the cops?

And there's a couple of kids here that are asking adults to buy them beer.

Smart.

We should go.

But I want to know who this girl's friends are. Who she's dating. Who she's

thinking about dating.

We're screwed.

We need to figure out where she's going to lay low for the idea of her own

fucking skull.

They're gone.

They're gone.

You're right.

You alright?

Yeah,

thanks.

What'd you tell the cops?

I made up a story.

I don't know what your situation is, but you know, the police, they could

probably help you out.

Who were those guys?

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

You got any friends here? You got a home or something?

You got any roommates?

My fucking roommate just got fucking killed!

You probably shouldn't be helping me. You could drop me off right here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Thanks for saving me. I'm sorry I held.

Listen, will you trust me?

Will you trust me?

No other choice.

All right.

We're gonna figure this out.

How are you gonna help me? You own a fucking flower shop. What are you gonna

do, respectfully?

Just trust me.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Simultaneous hits.

All across the city.

Every one of the girls has ties to Los Eos.

Undocumented workers lived here, probably runners.

Yeah. They found that upstairs.

All right, run a trace on this number.

I want to know who it's registered to.

Monitor any outgoing calls.

Copy that.

So... You gonna tell me who those men were?

Basically, my brother lives with this lady who's... What lady?

She was connected with this cartel, and he helped her deliver drugs around the

city. When I came here, she was pretty much my only hope. You know, aside from

what should have been the police, but they were pretty much no help to me.

And I know this is going to sound stupid, but when she offered me a place

to stay, I just figured, fuck it.

It's my only option, so I'll take it.

Well, that's not so stupid.

I'm not done.

Over time, she started asking me to do favors.

What kind of favors?

What Benny does for her.

The obvious answer is no, but I wasn't getting anywhere with finding him, so I

said yes.

The other night, I was delivering this package to their, I guess, brothel, and

some crazy guy came in and started killing everyone.

And now the cops who run it are trying to kill any potential witnesses.

And...

I'm definitely a witness.

You didn't want to hear any of that?

What?

You're all right. Come on.

What is this place?

This is where Charlie and I live.

It's also a greenhouse where we...

Grow all the plants for the flower shop.

Come on. It's all right. Come on Charlie

Charlie you remember

Layla?

She was looking for a brother.

Yeah, yeah She's gonna

stay with us a few days

Um, do you have a bathroom or something?

Yeah, it's where we came in. Just go down to the right.

What's going on?

The brother that we made a visit to, she was there.

And then tonight somebody tried to snatch her off.

What could I do?

Okay.

I thought you'd be happy I made friends.

A little bit more onion will be okay.

What's it called?

The dish.

You know what the dish is called?

I don't know what is this called.

Gata.

Means from the oven.

Gata. Yeah.

Gata. Not easy to pronounce.

It's the best we got.

It's more than enough. Yeah. Thanks.

If you need anything, just knock on my door down there. Okay?

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Good night.

Night.

Hey, Benny.

I called just to hear your voice.

I miss your stupid laugh.

And the way you rub your thumb with my hand when mom was yelling at us.

Sometimes when I'm really scared, I'll hold my own hand.

And I'll try and pretend it's yours.

I miss you so much.

that you're holding on for me right now.

Please just don't give up.

I'll think about it.

Hey, Woodrock, you got a moment?

Yeah, sure.

How you doing, AJ?

Good, you?

Yeah, you know, it's just one of those chapters.

Yeah, sorry for your loss.

You and Martinez were close.

His wife's your cousin, right?

Yeah.

It's a good thing you're in her life right now.

I heard you denied to talk to administration.

You give me no choice here, Woodrock.

Yeah, you know, it's not what it looks like.

I don't appear too keen, you know what I mean?

Some suits just click their fingers and I happily just go run into them and tell

them anything.

It's gonna look bad, but I don't show a little resistance.

Yeah, you... You think that's wise?

I think my reputation with my colleagues is everything.

I'm in a tight spot, and I need backup.

Someone hesitates because they think I'm a fucking snitch.

I don't get to see my wife and kid at night. Well, those girls don't get to

see their families ever again.

Martinez's death is bigger than the police board, Woodrock.

Corruption.

Conspiracy of murder.

Federal charges all over this entire division.

Broke my heart what they did to those poor girls.

I'm not saying I'm not going to talk.

Eventually, I've got to.

This place is my church.

I don't want to see it burned to the ground.

You got my word.

Promise.

Okay.

Get up.

If you want to stay here, you're going to have to earn your keep.

It'll keep you occupied.

Come on, I want to show you something. Come on.

Come on.

Your job is going to be to water the plants in the greenhouse, okay?

The little ones, they get a little.

The middle ones get a little bit more.

And the big ones, well, you know.

Yeah, get a little. Come on.

What's that?

That's the gas pipes.

Heats the building.

It's dangerous.

Don't sit on it. You'll blow us all up.

I wasn't planning on it. Okay. All right, this is all Charlie's stuff.

Big music collection.

You can play it if you want.

Come on.

Succulents and cactus.

They don't need water, all right? Now, don't worry about being alone here, all

right? Okay. This whole place is wired with cameras and alarms, and if anybody

tries to break in, Charlie and I get an alert on our phone, all right? Okay. And

one more thing. That door, do not go in there.

That's ammonium nitrate in there. It's fertilizer.

It's poisonous. It's dangerous. You don't want to go in there.

Okay. Anything else you need?

Do you have any clothes that you could give me? This is kind of all I have.

It's not going to fit, but... It's fine.

Let's see what I got.

It's a coffee there.

Thanks. Okay, apparently this girl's name is Layla Reed.

She filed a missing person report for her brother a few months ago.

I guess she came to the city looking for him.

No dad in the picture.

She's got a mom with child endangerment charges. She's got no social media,

right? It seems like the only time she has is either to Estrella or the

Diablos. Look, I think it's possible this girl's just still out here on the

street somewhere.

And the good news is she hasn't filed a police report.

Okay? I don't think Hutton has a clue that she was even there.

So, no one's looking for her?

I know this kid.

We met him before at Estrella's, like, seven months ago.

Hutton's getting close.

He's suspicious.

Nothing concrete yet, but... I know how to keep it that way.

I'm gonna get a bagel

I bought this album when I was around your age, actually.

I was still living in France at the time.

Just finished secondary school.

You miss it?

France?

Sometimes.

My life is here.

What's... you and Carl's, like...

Deal. We are friends.

I really like you guys.

You seem like good people.

I hate when people say stuff like this.

It sounds crazy, but... I feel like you guys came into my life for a reason.

I don't know, some people...

When they talk about it, they say, like, the universe or if you believe in God.

I just... I feel like... something brought us together.

Because if you guys hadn't basically saved me, I don't know where I'd be.

And it's weird, like, I've never had to... question these things of, like,

higher... I don't know, but no one's looked out for me in this.

Way, so I'm just not used to it. I guess what I'm trying to say and I'm doing a

really bad job at is Thank you

It's really meant a lot to me

I

don't think you should give up on finding your brother

You know Crazy Eights?

No, I never heard of it.

If the top card is not an 80, you can play any card that matches the rank or

suit of the previous one.

Very easy.

We'll play and you'll pick it up.

Look out, Layla. He's ruthless.

You want to play?

What's the game?

Crazy Eights. Charlie just taught it to me.

Break it, there's a new card.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Deal me in.

Deal me in.

You know Crazy Eight?

I ain't been in Crazy Eight.

Five off the top. Okay, good.

I'll go first.

Hmm.

Okay.

Yeah. It's unbelievable.

Look at this.

Oh.

What?

Yeah, it's a 900. Yeah, right, right, right, because it's the same number.

Okay, I see. Go get them.

Go get them. Mm-hmm.

Someone texted me. They have information on Benny.

Look, they, um... They have Benny's wallet.

Look, they sent a photo.

Do you know this person? No, it's a random number, but they texted me a

location to meet them. They said they couldn't talk right now when I asked who

is this, and they just said to meet them, and they'll tell me everything

that they know.

Does that look like your brother's wallet?

I have no fucking idea. Can you take me? Can we go right now and we'll find out?

I mean...

i hope it's real but it could be a hoax it could be a trap whether you come or

not

Thanks for taking it.

I didn't exactly have a choice.

I thought you told her to come along.

I did.

You brought a gun?

Mm-hmm.

Just look.

Look. I'm looking.

Wait a second, is that the same guy from the gas station?

I think he's got to go too, Will.

They should be here.

I'll text them. They do not.

Why? Do not do that.

Let them text us.

They could be stuck in traffic.

Or they could be watching us right now.

They probably are.

I don't like this at all.

Okay, I'm calling. What? No, no, no, no, no. It's been five minutes.

Carl, please. They had their chance.

They could just be stuck in traffic. Give me like five more minutes. Trust

me. Nope, nope. Trust you.

Trust you, Washington. Trust you.

You haven't been very trustworthy.

And you know what I'm talking about.

Hey, I was in your room. I got curious. I saw the drawings on your wall. In my

shoebox.

Oh, Snoop. Don't worry. I counted all of it. It's there.

I can't believe we left.

Why do you have a girl's skates hanging off your wall?

Uh... They're my sister's.

Are you guys close?

We were.

What happened?

You guys get into a fight? We're being followed.

Get close.

Fuck this.

Jesus, Will.

What the

fuck

is wrong with you?

You drive.

Yes? No, no.

Well, you do now. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Steering wheel, brake, accelerator, don't stop.

The fuck

is this guy?

Just keep driving!

Keep driving!

Go faster!

Keep it steady.

Follow this asshole.

Stay on the- Reloading!

You bought two-

And the van's on fire.

The van's on fire. Hit the brakes.

Like, stop?

Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!

I'm sorry, Carl.

If you want an out, this is it. I'm giving you one right now.

You know, you're not, like, morally obligated to take care of me. Hey, hey,

hey.

Don't be sorry.

Why are you helping me?

Because...

You don't have anywhere to go. I could figure something out. It's stupid.

You're a rational guy. You know it's dumb to be helping me right now and be

involved with me.

Layla, where you are right now,

I've been there.

You can make one wrong move in a moment and

that can dictate the rest of your life.

He told me you guys met in Africa.

He said that you were a soldier.

Yeah, that's right.

He said you went to get away from your family.

That's nice.

So what else did Charlie

tell you about me?

All your secrets.

No, I'm kidding.

Nothing else.

My mom was abusive.

I'm just telling you that because I want you to know I understand.

I know what it's like to love someone who hurts you.

I don't want to be that person for anyone.

So... I'm... I'm gonna hit the head.

All right, let's go, Tim.

I found the name... William Woodrock.

He's a detective.

And I'm gonna kill him.

On purpose?

You're gonna kill a cop on purpose?

You think Hicks...

He's going to go for this. Well, I guess I'll find out later, won't I?

Right. What?

You could have died last night.

Right?

That was messy.

Yes, which is exactly why he needs to be taken out. He works for the cartel, just

like that cop that got in the way the other night. They're running girls.

They're running fentanyl.

Yeah. He's going after her, but he's going to get to us.

He's going to find out.

Let her go.

Charlie, we're the reason that he's trying to kill

her.

Yes, I know.

We didn't make her choose to be a drug runner. We didn't make Woodfrog go

crazy. We follow orders.

We execute.

If anything, this is on Hicks.

You're my friend, and the girl, she's a stranger.

Charlie. We don't really know who she is. Charlie, she's a kid.

She's alone.

She's got nowhere to go.

We're responsible for her.

I can't live with myself.

We have to help her.

Okay.

Okay.

No, no way. Not a cop.

Woodrock is not to be touched.

Do you hear me?

How do you know his name?

I didn't say his name.

Look, Riker, this is bigger than just the two of us, okay?

There's a reason he wasn't there that night.

Pieces are moving here, and I was given specific orders that Woodrock is off

limits.

He's been listed as an asset.

An asset?

He's an asset?

This is such bullshit.

This is... I'm sick and tired of this mysterious fucking bullshit.

The man tried to kill me, and I can't defend myself. Is that what you're

saying? Nobody tried to kill you. Nobody.

They tried to kill the girl.

You're protected in this. I told you, I've got you.

But that girl, Riker, she's a liability.

And as long as she's next to you, you're at risk too. And I can't do anything

about that.

My advice is get her out of here.

I want you to tell me something.

I want you to tell me something.

What were we doing in Mexico all that time, huh?

Like, always after Diablos.

Never anybody else. Why the big focus on Diablos?

We are doing good work for good people.

Good people.

It's funny because I have this feeling that I am an employee for a rival

cartel.

Well, honestly, Riker, it's not your fucking job to ask those questions.

This is my life.

I can't believe this is my life.

Yeah. Okay, just calm down. No, I'm out. I'm out.

I'm so fucking out.

That's it.

I can't do this anymore.

I cannot.

It feels like yesterday that Charlie took you in.

You were in a fucking veteran psych ward, remember that?

And then I gave you a job, money, a purpose, a life.

And then two days ago, I wired you 70 fucking thousand dollars. Imagine that.

It's not about the money. Okay, you're so fucking grateful, aren't you?

Look, you went out.

That's fine, really.

I would hate to see your talent go to waste, but this is your life.

So make a fucking choice, Riker.

It's my choice.

Yeah, I got myself into this. It's my choice.

I need to find out what happened to that girl's brother.

His name is Benny.

She's an innocent.

That's the whole reason that Chief came out here, is to find whether he's dead

or alive.

Please?

With your connections, you can find anybody.

Please?

I'll see what I can do.

The girl was phoned out to finally come back from the cell phone company.

We got all her movements up until the incident.

Seems like she's been staying at some industrial warehouse down by the river.

I

think

someone's following me.

Who? Hutton.

I mean, he's fucking inches away from us, which is all the more reason why we

need to finish the job. It's only a matter of time before that fucking girl

talks, especially after everything we've done to her.

Yeah.

I really don't know about that, man.

I'm not worried about getting arrested here. I'm worried about getting fucking

killed.

So...

Like the whole thing?

We're fucked.

I think I'm gonna leave town. I think you should leave town too, man.

I'm staying.

My son's here.

My wife's here.

I'm not leaving.

But you know something?

You leave.

You admit you're fucking guilty.

That I'm guilty.

We're in this together, Deckard.

You and me.

I'm sorry, brother.

I can't end up like Martinez.

Come on.

Welcome to Bellefleur.

Looking for something in particular?

Everything all right?

Have you seen this girl?

I cannot say I have.

Detective Woodrock.

Oh. This girl is wanted for first-degree murder.

She's on the run.

Now, we got intel that she's visited this store a few times.

You sure you don't recognize her?

You know what?

Yes.

She's brought flowers here.

That's all I can say. I wish I could be more helpful.

Okay. Well, it's worth a shot.

I'll be out of your hair.

Actually, my card, if anything... Thank you. ...comes to mind, give

me a call.

Okay.

Good luck with your investigation.

Oh, um...

Who is that?

I don't know. My co-worker must have put it up.

Sorry about the flower.

It's okay. It happens.

Riker, don't come back to the greenhouse with Leila.

So what's the criteria?

Reliable, clean, never been owned by a smoker.

How many cars have you had through your life?

Uh, just the one.

Really? Yeah.

I was in the military most of my adult life and I didn't need a car.

Not time for a new one.

I can't wait to have a car.

It's got to be so freeing.

My brother and I always talked about road tripping together.

He wants to see the West Coast.

If you could go anywhere, like drive anywhere, where would you go?

There's this beach in Oregon that I was once at.

There's not many people.

Lots of dogs.

It was all running free.

Only sound you heard was the surf.

Real quiet.

Look out and you see the whales in the water.

That's where I go.

I think I get why. It sounds nice.

These are my favorite.

You gotta get it.

Riker, don't come back to the greenhouse with the laser.

The coaches gave me a visit.

They're getting closer.

Call me back.

Riker, call me back. I have a bad feeling.

Meet me at the car wash.

Detective?

Hey, Charlie.

How can I help you?

Oh, are you good?

Yeah.

Yeah. Come for me.

Sure? You don't seem...

Charlie.

What's your purpose protecting this girl?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where is the girl?

Charlie?

Listen, Woodrow.

You don't have to do this.

Okay?

Charlie!

Charlie!

Charlie!

Dude, you're not answering anything I'm saying. Let me think!

Please tell me what's going on. We're going somewhere safe right now.

I can't sleep.

Can you read me a story?

Come on.

Let's go.

You stay in this room. How come you can't tell me what happened to Charlie?

Keep the curtains closed.

Do not answer this door for anybody unless you're absolutely sure it's me,

okay?

You're scaring me.

Leela, don't feel bad about yourself.

Don't let this is your fault.

Now here, take the key.

I gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta go.

You're behind me, dog.

Give up.

Leave the girl alone.

This is your only warning.

You're a dead man.

Hey, Hutman.

Carl, right?

It's fun when you're a detective and you got a personal problem because you get

access to all types of private information.

Who they are, what they've done, what they've tried to do.

Which name should I call you?

John?

Alfred? Billy?

You've lived quite the life.

You tried to become one of us, didn't you?

After your service.

Thank you for that, by the way, truly. It's an honor to be in your presence.

Someone who's devoted their entire life to helping others.

It's amazing the police force didn't welcome you with open arms. It's almost

like they didn't trust you.

That why you became an assassin?

You're good.

You are very good. I'll give you that.

So, why don't you come out?

Show me your face.

Let's see who the best man really is.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Here boy.

Explosion on the Hackensack River last night.

An old power plant, recently operating as a greenhouse, is now a homicide

investigation.

Residents say they could hear the explosion from the other side of the

city.

Channel 6 News, reporting live from the city.

What the fuck did you do?

That place is full of ammonium nitrate, you know, fertilizer.

He blew himself up.

You know, you can clean up the world by going through the proper channels.

It doesn't work.

It's not meant to.

These people are doing good work. There was a plan. You fucked it up. Oh, I

know. A fog of war and all that. Yeah.

I'm sorry about Charlie.

Yeah, fuck you.

I got the information you asked for.

Her brother's a junkie, but he's not missing. He ran away, took a brick of

fentanyl with him.

What have you been doing, huh?

Playing savior?

What are you a good person now?

Let's see around Hicks Gonna find you maybe

Want to take a drive?

Where?

Where was it that you wanted to take a road trip with your brother?

California?

Yeah, that's it.

Yes. Can I drive?

No way Okay

What's

that? Charlie's favorite cassette.

He used to torture me with it

Let's go find your brother.

Metal clangs and nails on charpots, harmony in jest. All of the songs

you sing, the words you bring, you preach to nothing.

Ooh, I am the counting clock.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tock. Tick, tick, tick, I'll never stop.

Speak your peace in mind at ease and tie your tongue in knots.

Choke the paragraphs you sell for 50 cents a pop. All of the

words you say, you're not okay.

That's okay.

Ooh,

I am the counting clock.

Ooh,

run before you drop.

Tick, tick, tick.
