Odi's it!

Come on! Come on! Ha ha ha! Go, go!

Hey, hey, hey! No tag-backs.

No tag-backs, cheater.

Ha ha ha! Come on!

Come on. Come on.

I don't have all fucking day, odi!

- Not it! - Hey!

You said no tag-backs.

Hey, guys. Hey, look. It's zee.

What's going on?

Zee!

Zee, what are you doing here?

I have a house call in the area.

- You want to play? - Oh. Careful, though.

Odi's a punk-ass cheat.

Heh. Sorry. I'm working.

She's too busy now that she's famous.

Next time. Promise.

Heh heh. Ok. Come on. Let's keep playing.

Yeah. Sorry. I'm working, too.

Hey.

So who's that you're always hanging out with?

My friend Nico.

What's her story?

I don't know.

We just hang out and steal shit together.

So you don't know anything about her,

like, where she's from or anything?

We don't talk about that stuff.

You know, that is what friends do.

You know, they talk about things with each other.

Maybe you should try it.

Does she know anything about you?

Yeah. That I'm good at finding hiding spots.

Well, what do you like to do for fun beyond stealing?

Sometimes, I guess...

I like looking at the stars.

I bet you Nico would love to hear that.

You should tell her.

- Man, that sounds stupid. - No.

So we're talking.

Means we're friends, right?

Absolutely.

Hey. Would you go ahead?

I'll catch up with you.

It's ok.

You following me now?

You know we got eyes everywhere, girl.

You're, what, playing at the grassroots,

making these house calls?

There are forces way bigger than you involved here,

and they've already set the outcome.

That's your warning.

You done?

You shouldn't have come back.

You're all right.

Hey, Alma.

Oh. Thank Christ.

We got a stab wound in one, flu, I think, in two,

and a gangrene foot wandering around somewhere.

Where were you?

Uh, the hasids.

Rabbi had copd.

Any new house calls come in?

Hey, kid. We got messes in both halls

that need to be mopped up. Go.

He shouldn't be doing that.

We're not a fucking orphanage.

He lives here, he works here.

Ok. Well, I'll do then.

While you're out on house calls?

No. Before I leave.

Alma, I inherited a horror show.

We're barely managing. I need help here.

So do these people out there.

Take this one. Heart trouble.

That's handled. We got a guy who goes

to the red militia each week. It's a whole thing.

Well, I'm doing it now.

They are not gonna vote for Wilson,

house call or not.

People said that about oona.

You said that about the samaritans

and the hasids.

Come on. I changed that.

By buying votes with aid?

You've been here all of, what, 4 days?

These are real people

who have lived here through it all,

and they believe what you say,

not Wilson, you.

Well, that's good.

Wilson protects people's access to health care.

That means a safe clinic.

Look. No more lacking meds.

Well, I've seen enough to know

Wilson is no Messiah.

Just saying.

You better know what you're doing

beyond getting that man elected.

Thank you.

Hey, you.

No more work for you. Get out of here.

But Alexis said--

go. Have fun.

Go talk with your friend.

Another house call for you.

This one's got a chauffeur.

Alma. Heh. Heh heh.

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

Alma, I'd like to introduce you to susie.

She heard about you becoming

my most effective new supporter.

I'm afraid I'm to blame for your visit.

So lovely to meet you.

She wanted to extend her gratitude.

I've never seen him so meek.

So...you're the mother

of the man who would be king?

I'm not his mother.

I just took care of him.

Now he takes care of me.

You're quite the mover.

Is that what Wilson told you?

It's what I see with my own eyes,

why are you making allies for us?

We have a...Shared interest.

There's no need to be guarded with me.

A shared interest in what?

Stopping parco.

I see.

Then what?

Oh, I'm not in this for myself, if that's the impression.

Of course not.

It's all for your son, he tells me.

- Yes. - You believe you can

win him back.

- Yes. - Back to what?

Once you have what you've come for,

you'll make no further claim on this place

for you or your son?

Oh, if you're worried that I'm gonna demand

something more for my help-- I'm not worried.

I'm curious if you know what you're sowing.

Do you not want Wilson in charge?

I am not young enough to believe that

anything depends on any one man in charge.

You don't believe one ruler is better than the other.

I think one ruler is the problem.

From up close, they're different, perhaps.

Moment to moment,

but that's just an illusion,

like the charade at city hall.

From above, no.

All men who rule by and for themselves alone

will succumb.

In the end, the cycle is the cycle.

Then what's the point,

if it's all the same in the end?

You remind me of myself.

You know, I've been through a revolution.

I believed there was a difference.

I believed in the incorruptibility

of one great ruler,

and I picked up a gun to serve mao

for what he said was right,

and I fired at people he told me to,

and my belief...

Orphaned a child.

I took his parents, and I took my atonement,

and I raised him out of the mess that I created

with my belief.

I ask you this only because no one asked me

before it was too late.

What will you do when you leave orphans?

Are you prepared to stay and raise them?

Ahem.

You want to know what happens after I win my son back?

I leave. That's it.

Look, this isn't my war here.

Pity.

We are so fortunate to have such a bright, young woman

behind our cause.

Yeah. She's the best.

Been trying to show her what we might be together.

As I explained to susie,

my only pursuit here is my son, nothing more.

Look. I, um--

I need to show you something.

The name!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop!

What is this?

I have a small problem.

Someone's been stealing my gold

because this one here has been leaking information.

- Unh! - Now he doesn't want

to give me the thief's name, which I understand.

A man must have a code.
