Sugar

…chat to all of our clients, and then we'll fix everything.

See ya.

Where ya going?

I'm going home?

Yes.

As described in the Sixth Provided Rules of Behavior,

"To lie, defraud, or in any other way manipulate human beings

or human institutions for the sole purpose of self-enrichment."

What do you call yourself?

I'm Sugar.

Then give me a break with that shit, Sugar, I know what I've done.

You just get here?

- Few weeks. - And?

How does this compare?

It's interesting.

- Yeah? - Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen a lot

and, you know, I haven't traveled much.

I haven't chosen an employment. But it's…

It's interesting.

I chose kindergarten teacher, and I loved it.

"Mrs. Rosenthal. Good morning, Mrs. Rosenthal."

I mean, they taught me more than anything.

And one day during nap time,

I was poking around on the school computer,

and I was exposed to what they call the financial markets, and I was hooked.

That was that.

All of a sudden,

finger painting with six-year-olds was not that interesting anymore.

What's finger painting?

Where they dip their hands in color,

and then they draw with their fingers.

So, I stopped teaching,

I started a hedge fund and then…

- You know what you'd like? - Papaya?

- No papaya. - Toast, dry, no butter, no jellies.

- And no cinnamon, I'm allergic. - I'll have a Caesar salad,

a hanger steak with crinkle fries and green beans.

And yes, I am ignoring the rule against consumption of animal meat.

I'm sorry?

Talking to him.

For dessert, do you like the ladyfingers or the chocolate torta?

One of each, but no cinnamon.

I have the same allergy.

We should be honoring these bodies.

I have been…

By giving it what it wants.

It all works, you know.

In case you ever get curious.

It's good you're going home.

Excuse me.

There you go.

If you need anything else, let me know.

Hi.

Yeah, I love you.

My sister.

So what are you thinking job-wise?

Maybe a psychologist, something with animals.

Okay, what else?

Tell me.

A policeman.

Explain.

Well, human beings in crisis…

And needing help from injustice…

Misfortune.

I don't know, they share a variety of experience, it kinda…

…it kind of excites me.

I can see that.

There's some violence in that.

I mean, not much. Maybe, but…

You know, I'd be careful.

Would you?

Or is that kind of sort of part of the excitement?

No.

No, no, I…

Violence?

No. I'd be careful.

All right. Steak will be right out.

Thank you.

This is a good thing.

Your family, your friends…

They're gonna be at home waiting for you.

Why would they want me now?

It wasn't just the sex and the food and the money.

It's a slippery slope.

One thing after another.

By the end, I'd done worse things.

Well, home is still home, you know.

No matter what we've done.

Home is still home.

I'm glad it was you they sent…

…to take me back.

Me too.

I've never cried before.

Can we stop and get some Kleenex?

Of course.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

And every night it's different.

I'm gonna miss the finger painting.

Be back in a minute.

That was actually one of my favorite parts.

No.

No! No, no!

No!

No.

The slippery slope.

One thing leads to another.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey, I brought you a bunch of microdasys.

Come on in.

Yeah, it's from the prickly pear genus.

And it's quiet too.

That's the thing I love the most, is the quiet.

And if you don't mind my asking, how do you afford it?

We don't.

It's free.

- It's free? How's that possible? - It's a federal grant.

Some new billion-dollar program they started for new housing.

- They? Who's they? - The city.

We had to qualify.

Yeah, have a job or be looking for one,

pass a drug test, that kind of stuff…

"Demonstrate constructive engagement with society."

That's what they said?

Still, we're so grateful.

I bet.

God, that's good, guys. So happy for you.

Human beings…

What they can do to one another.

Making each other qualify to live…

It is quiet.

Tyler Ko?

Yeah?

Yeah, I wanted to ask you a couple questions about Ji Moon.

I mean, fucking Ji.

I still can't believe it.

I mean, I can 'cause he's a drug addict, but still…

It fucking sucks.

Can I come inside?

Sure, whatever.

When the last time I seen fucking Ji…

…how did I hear that he died, that kind of stuff.

- And what did you tell him? - Nothing, just like we practiced.

- I was aces. - I'm sure you were.

- You think he believed you? - I think so.

- I'm really good at lying. - But you're not sure?

Nah, sorry, man, I'm not.

Vega's suspicious.

It's only a matter of time.

Ji? Hey. There he is.

Hey.

Brought you some walnuts.

I read they help with withdrawal.

No. Yuck.

I was hoping for some gummies.

No gummies. Can I sit?

Garry tells me you're… you know, you're doing better.

Yeah, I'm not dead anymore.

Wow. Well, then this place is worth every penny.

Nah, man, thanks to you. For real.

You were smart enough to have it on you. The Narcan in your bag, I mean.

I'm just glad I was there to use it.

Okay, well, you're right, I'm a fucking genius then.

- I didn't say that. - Well…

- And how's Danny? - He's good. Misses you.

He's excited about the fight.

Yeah? Yeah, I gotta get out of here, man, I gotta get back to training.

We got less than two weeks till Vegas.

Can't do it.

- It's still not safe. - When's it gonna be safe?

I don't know. I gotta figure out how to deal with this deputy who wants you dead.

Where's it at though?

- What's that? - Your plan to get this fucking guy.

I mean, thank you so much for this bag of nuts,

but, like, what are you doing?

I am… working on it.

So, you got one guard at the gates. He's unarmed, right?

We're private, we're secluded, but we're not a fortress.

He can't leave.

Okay, I will strongly recommend that Ji finish his treatment here.

- Good. - But…

- We're also not a prison. - I can see that.

- Who is this guy? - He's a good kid.

He just got a little…

Unlucky out there.

I mean, he unluckily picked the wrong time to rob a hospital, so…

- True. - Not like he's Mother Teresa.

And he's 33, Sugar, which is far from him being a kid.

All good points.

- Thanks, Garry. - All right.

I brought him some walnuts. Not a hit.

- He says he has candy in his bag. - Yeah.

We try to keep 'em from the sweets when they're detoxing,

but he's past the worst of it now.

Hey. What's this?

His phone, I guess.

You said he was here with someone?

I don't know.

Take the money. Grab the phone. Get that tracker. Let's go.

But he shouldn't have a phone.

Where did this come from?
