but I'll look.
Cid!
- How's the math coming?
- I want to help the man.
Help him with what?
I could help him with my toys.
No. Let me talk to you.
I need you to stay away
from that man. Okay?
Let him do his thing,
but stick with me.
Okay?
Is he not good?
Well, we're gonna see
what he is. All right?
But I need you
to stick with me.
Good boy.
Shh.
Hand me that Phillips.
Tell me if you hear her coming.
What are we doing here?
Commundication.
But I need to make it stronger.
And how do we do that?
Bigger battery.
Smart.
Do you kill people?
Uh... Let's say I kill people.
With your gun?
Uh-huh.
You want a gun like mine?
Yeah.
What are you gonna do with it,
pole vaulting? It's bigger than you.
Stop bad things from happening.
Sh*t!
So how long you and your mom
been out here on the farm?
She's not.
She's not what?
Sara doesn't know,
but I remember my real mom.
When I was a baby,
I couldn't stop it.
Couldn't stop what?
I couldn't stop her from getting killed.
I saw it, but I couldn't stop it.
I wasn't strong enough.
You should, uh...
You should talk to your mom about this.
She's not my mom. She's a liar.
Spotted him coming out of a sewer tunnel
on the west end. He's on the run.
Think he's heading
to the west on Talbott Street,
possibly to Whore's Alley.
We have a visual.
You can't take that thing out
with a plow or something?
Uh-huh.
Listen, I found a, uh...
In the barn, I found some parts
and I made a thing.
Here.
So if you see something,
just push that.
When?
Last night he woke me up.
Don't tell him I told you. He didn't...
You said you were his morn.
Yeah.
He told me you're not.
He said that?
Yeah.
If he's not your son, who is he?
He's my son.
I had Cid when I was 22.
But I didn't want to give up
my life in the city.
So I dropped him here on the farm
with my sister,
and she saw how I was living,
so she took him.
And my sister, she raised him.
She loved him.
He called her Morn.
How did she get killed?
Jesus Christ.
He remembers it.
You've gotta talk to him.
I told you one thing.
I told you to stay away from my son.
Stay out of it!
And stay the f*** away from my son!
Where does 56 go?
Oh, good. You're smart.
Twenty-one?
How long can you not sleep?
I don't know. Probably a while.
It's a good question.
Where does it go? Come on.
Good.
Thirty-two?
You should help Joe watch.
Joe?
Because he can't stay awake
all the time.
Isn't our business. Okay?
He's keeping us safe.
Let's do this now, okay?
You have 32 there.
I know you know this one.
No. Eight times three is what?
Thirty-two.
Thirty-two.
I want you to count three eights.
Eight, sixteen...
thirty-two.
You telling me you want alone time?
No.
Then why don't you put that
where it belongs?
Alone time.
He's protecting us
because you can't do it.
I told you to stay away from him, didn't I?
I never did anything.
Do you think I'm stupid?
So?
I told Joe to leave...
So?!
You do what I tell you!
You can't tell me what to do.
You're not my mom!
You're not my mom! You're a liar!
You're gonna get killed
because you won't stop lying!
Cid, calm down.
You're lying! I hate you!
You're lying to me! I hate you!
Cid...
I hate you! Liar! You're lying!
Calm down. Calm down.
Liar!
Liar!
You're not my mom! You're a liar!
You're not my mom!
I hate you!
Liar!
Liar! Liar!
I'm sorry.
It's okay, sweetie.
Holy sh*t.
Evening, ma'am.
Evening. How can I help you?
Ahem. You can start by accepting
my apologies re the hour.
Hope I didn't catch you at supper.
That's fine.
I've been walking
Thought I'd just
tick this one off the list.
Not have to come back tomorrow.
What's this about?
You alone here, ma'am?
My husband should be back any time.
Happy to hear it.
Mm-hm.
Could I trouble you for some water?
I'll get you some.
You can take the glass with you.
Actually, ma'am,
my business today,
this ticking off the list business,
is gonna require me coming in,
if that's all right.
Will you tell me what this is about?
I will, yes.
Can I come in?
Ma'am?
I'm a deputized police officer,
looking for an escaped criminal.
Anyone through here
in the past two days, vagrants?
Vagrants are always
passing, nobody near the house.
That man there?
He's young. No.
We're looking for his father too.
Similar looking build, late 50s,
may or may not be traveling together.
Do you recognize them?
No.
Keep them.
Your kids with your husband?
Yeah, just one.
How old?
Ten.
Ten...
I'm gonna show you
the barn and house.
And then you can be on your way.
I took the liberty
with your barn. Apologies.
So the house.
Ten, you said? Your boy?
Yeah.
And your husband?
Mm-hm.
with the home office.
The boy's in the city with his father.
When they getting back?
Couldn't tell you.
Ah.
This goddamn thing.
I can never get a signal
this far out of town.
Ah. Piece of sh*t.
Okay. Here we go.
Is this man dangerous?
He shoots men down for a living.
He's a stone-cold killer.
My boss has half the city
looking for him.
Half the city and me, so...
And if you find him,
there's a hell of a price.
Chunk of money like that,
I will.
All right. Show me upstairs.
There's drafts in the house.
when the vagrant raids got bad.
- Nana said he was nuts.
- Thank you, Granddad.
That wasn't the man.
No. It's funny. I know that guy, though.
His name is Jesse.
I like him. He's good.
He's gonna go away
once he doesn't find me.
He won't hurt your morn.
Sara.
Where's your morn?
Where's my mom?
She, uh, gave me up.
I was younger than you.
We were vagrants,
and she was alone.
I thought she was stupid
for getting on the drugs she was on,
but now I see she was
just so alone.
It's what she had.
She sold me
to a panhandle gang.
I got away and I ran
and ended up on this train.
I remember I was sitting there
in an empty car.
And I saw myself
over and over again,
killing those men that bought me,
that got my mom on what she was on.
Just finding them and tearing them apart.
Saving my mom.
But you didn't.
No, a man in the city found me,
put a gun in my hand.
Gave me something that was mine.
That's just men trying to figure out what they
would do to keep what's theirs, what they've got.
That's the only kind of man there is.
I'm not gonna let Sara get killed.
I think we're clear.
Sara!
Baby.
All working girls, yeah?
This whole block
Hello, Joe.
If you want to check those,
too, I can arrange.
I'm an arranger, stranger.
If you don't see
what you want to see, no refunds.
What?
What happened?
That's pretty good.
In the city, young guys would
hit on me
by floating f***ing quarters.
And I wouldn't tell them
I was TK,
but I would keep
their quarters down.
This one guy just busted a blood
