Hard to what?

Hey, man, I mean, I just...

What?

I'm just f***ing with you, man.

F***, man.

Oh, you think that's funny, Kristen?

I'll be right back.

Nice piece of ass there?

Could you get me a gun?

A gun?

Yeah, I can get you a gun.

What do you need a gun for?

I'm a soldier, man. I like guns.

Yeah. I know a guy.

You got cash?

I do.

F*** it. Give me your number.

I'm using a burner right now.

Number's on the back.

Soldiers like guns.

Landing a gig is huge for me.

What's the big deal if I go on tour?

It's, like, three weeks, max.

Why don't you trust me for,

like, five seconds?

I don't know. Maybe...

- I've given you no reason not to trust me.

- I'm done with this.

Come on.

- You ready to go?

- Sure.

- I'll drive.

- No, I'm fine.

I'll drive.

You're stoned.

And how are you more sober than me?

I'm bigger than you.

Please, put on your seat belt.

- Do you want to talk about it?

- No.

It's just...

It's nothing. I mean,

we got into an argument.

It's old stuff.

You know, I used to love

that he was in a band.

But now I'm saving money for college,

and he just isn't moving on.

I mean, he doesn't even have a job.

Well, he's a drug dealer.

Okay. He's not a drug dealer.

Yeah. He sells drugs sometimes to,

like, friends for extra cash.

Well, if he's messing things

up with you, then he's a fool,

and you don't need to worry about it.

No. I'm serious.

I mean, hell, if I'd had a

girl like you back home,

I wouldn't have gone over to

the Middle East to get shot at.

Thank you.

I like this music.

You do?

It's, just a mix that I made.

I can make you one if you wanted.

Yeah? Can you put this song on it?

Yeah, I can do that.

So, good night.

Good night.

Thanks for inviting me out.

Yeah, no problem.

Good night.

No. I want to proceed as we discussed.

No one will be able to recognize me.

That's important.

What do you mean, "Dental records"?

An orthodontist? No, I don't need that.

Fingers, yes.

As soon as possible.

I'm off the grid for now.

But there are people

trying to look for me.

I understand it'll take some time,

but this is urgent.

I just need a new face.

I'll keep this phone in case anything

comes up and you need to reach me.

All right. Copy that.

Yeah, his name is David

Andersen Collins.

I can tell you the unit that

he served in if that helps.

No, nothing's wrong.

He was friends with my brother

and we heard that he was back,

so, any contact

information would be great.

Okay, ma'am. I'll call you

when we have any details.

Goodbye.

Tell Fort Kennilworth that

David Collins is dead.

Just give them the official version.

We'll take it from here.

Next week I'm meeting

with the rest of the board

to discuss the future of our

work with the military,

in light of Project

Aegolius' dissolution.

Richard has more information

on that subject. Richard?

I can't get into too many details,

nor would you want me to.

However, I can say that...

Sorry to interrupt. Something's come up.

My apologies, but you'll

have to excuse me.

When did Fort Kennilworth

receive this call?

About an hour ago, sir.

Have you ID'd the caller?

Not confirmed, but she gave

her name as Anna Peterson.

Peterson.

As in Caleb Peterson?

His sister.

Home address is in there.

Book me on the next flight.

If we need to charter something, do it.

And I'm gonna need some shooters.

If anyone asks what's happening,

what do I tell them?

Make something up.

No one outside this circle can know

that any of our subjects are still active.

If KPG gets any blowback on this,

you and I will both be hung out to dry.

You got that?

Call me when you got the plane booked.

I'm not late, am I?

No, no. You're just on time.

Good.

Look, before we get started,

I just want to make sure that

you've got some cash on you.

No offense.

That should be good?

It'll do.

Let's get started.

Let's start with this.

I mean, it's a standard Beretta.

I'm sure you're familiar with it.

In my opinion, if you've seen one

of these, you've seen them all.

But this baby, this here is

a 9-millimeter Witness Elite.

It's a very similar weapon to

the Beretta, but I prefer the recoil.

I mean, it's got

absolutely no kick at all.

You army?

Yes, sir.

I'm navy, myself.

Yeah, that's fine.

You want the Elite?

Oh, I'll take 'em all.

All the handguns?

No. Everything. All your guns.

Sh*t.

That's what I was thinking.

Look, man, if you've brought

money for all of them,

I'll cut you a deal.

You can take 'em all off my hands.

No, I'm going to kill you.

Hey, what the f***, David?

Now, you listen to me

one f***ing second...

Wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no, no.

Hello?

Yeah, thanks for calling me back.

What?

Hey, Mom, can I talk

to you for a second?

Sure, sweetie, what's going on?

I called the army base

that David said that he

was just discharged from,

I wanted to ask about him.

What? Why would you do that?

Spencer?

I need a drink.

- Why? What happened?

- I'm getting a drink, honey.

They found Allan,

you know my boss, Allan?

He'd been missing from

work for a couple of days,

everybody got very worried,

so one of his friends went

over and broke into his house.

And they found him

and his girlfriend dead.

They'd both taken a bunch

of prescription pills,

it was like they committed

suicide together or something.

Oh, my God!

But that doesn't make any sense.

He was...

No. The guy was totally normal.

But the police are investigating.

You know, it's...

Doesn't look like it was a break-in.

There was no forced entries.

She... The girl... She had...

She had bruises on her body.

I don't know what that means.

Anyway, we will leave it for the police

to tell us exactly what happened.

I don't know.

Damn thing is this makes

me regional manager.

Yeah. As soon as Corporate

found out, they called me.

Right away they want

me to start tomorrow.

And they're offering me Allan's salary.

So...

Well, that's...

Yeah.

Careful what you wish for.

David.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

No. Don't be silly. It's fine.

I'm having a drink.

Would you join me?

Oh, sure.

I'll be right back.

- Hello?

- Hey, Anna?

It's Craig, babe.

They just found him out at the quarry.

He's dead. Someone shot him.

What?

Do they know who did it?

I don't really have all the details yet.

Can you meet up later?

Yeah, of course.

There's something else I

need to talk to you about.

What is it?

Oh, sh*t. F***.

Babe, I got to go, all right.

I'll call you back.

Hello?

I just heard from Zeke.

How are you doing?

I just don't get it.

Who'd want to hurt Craig?

Yeah, I know. Can you

sit down for a second?

Yeah.

So, how does this work again?

First you make a hole at the top,

so you can reach in and

scoop all the guts out.

Oh, man.

Your parents' knives suck.

Yeah.

That's better.

Do you carry that with you,

like, all the time?

Oh, this thing? Sure.

Why?

I don't know.

Just in case.

I called the army base that

David said that he was from.
