[sighs]

[door opens]

[sighs]

[sighs] I'm sorry about all of this.

I know you are.

You always are.

And I know you mean it.

I do.

Just doesn't mean

that you have actually changed.

You're already one foot back inside.

Or dead.

What is that?

Where you going?

I have a job interview. In San Francisco.

San Francisco?

What about our boys?

Now you're worried about our boys.

Damn it, Astoria. You can't just leave me.

You?

You?

It is always about you. What about me?

No matter how bad things got,

I have never given up on this family.

Don't try and flip this around.

I should have left you years ago.

It has become painfully obvious to me

that you don't really want a family.

You were just using all of us.

You conveniently show up at Rocketcorp

the same day as Einstein's interview?

I am sure he made a wonderful addition

to your sales pitch.

And those photos of you camping

with Harrison was for an alibi.

And I believed you.

And he believed you.

We went fishing.

[Astoria sighs]

I can fix this.

Astoria

[sighs]

Harrison.

I can explain.

Harrison.

Harrison.

[door closes]

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

[Astoria sighs]

I'm sorry you had to hear all that.

Don't apologize.

A job in San Francisco, Mom? That's great.

Well, I'm not going.

Why?

Because I can't leave you with him.

Mom, it's just an interview.

We'll figure it out. We always do.

I side with Harrison for once.

Do it. Like you tell us, don't look back.

Can I borrow this? Mini got us tickets

to the Devonshire Downs concert.

Sure. Have fun.

I'm sorry about the fishing trip.

Maybe us being here with him

isn't helping.

Maybe he needs to see what it feels like

if we're gone.

[sighs]

[radio host] strong winds today. If

you're planning on being out on the roads,

keep both hands on the steering wheel,

and heed the advice of Ralph Nader

and wear your seat belts.

Happy solstice, San Fernando Valley.

We don't have a check for you today.

Dean and I made a deal.

I already ordered supplies.

Mr. Dremel informed me of the test deal.

But before we can release the funds,

we need you to fill out

the new vendor paperwork.

It's going to take some time.

Mr. Dremel understood that we need

to start work as soon as possible.

And he's a man of spontaneity.

And I'm the man that makes sure that

no one takes advantage of him.

I need this.

He promised.

It'll take at least six weeks

for the vetting process.

And there's no guarantee.

[radio plays]

[horn honks]

[horn honks]

Who are you?

My name's Harrison.

I'm here for the solstice.

Come on.

[Harrison] My friend told me

it was powerful, like

Who's your friend?

- His name's Rudy.

- Rudy Solano?

- Yeah.

- How do you know him?

Uh, when my dickface of a father

was locked up, Rudy was his cellmate.

When I'd visit, I spent more time

talking with Rudy than my dad.

He was the only person who didn't

talk to me like I was just a kid,

but, like, understood

what I was going through.

[Lee] Mmm.

That's 'cause he did understand.

Rudy's dad was a convict,

and a cold, cold son of a b*tch.

- A dickface, if you prefer.

- [chuckles]

Couldn't blame him though.

Rudy's dad was a boarding school kid.

Priest snatched him,

forced him to assimilate.

They tried to make him white.

Whoa.

[sighs] So you're here to honor

his memory or something?

Who?

Rudy. The f*ck we been talking about?

Uh, what do you mean honor his memory?

I mean he's dead.

Prison riot.

Nobody knows or cares what happened.

He's dead?

How do you know?

He was my uncle.

f*ck Rocketcorp.

Vultures.

Hey.

You're here, and it's the solstice.

Rudy invited you.

Go out, wander around. Maybe Mother Earth

will speak to you or something.

I am Tasin Shup.

Chief of the Fernandeño Chumash.

We are the Chumash from Tapo,

right here in Simi Valley.

[tambourines shaking]

Come on.

- [grunts] Whoa.

- Oh, hey. Sorry.

Hey.

You were at the lake.

Walk into the belly of the beast,

and know you will be protected.

You can't live in fear.

What?

I said, "Are you okay, sir?"

Yeah, I'm o I'm okay.

[chuckles]

I'm okay.

I don't have the money.

I cleaned fish, pawned toasters,

robbed a temple.

I even tried to sell

my God-inspired self-sharpening drill.

But I don't have it.

So, Jean-Guy

I accept your offer to buy my drill.

You can have it.

- Just leave my family alone.

- [sighs]

[Patrice]

Family's the most important thing.

[in French] Jean-Guy, did you try

to make a deal behind our backs?

No, no. Listen

I was doing it for the family.

You were doing it for yourself.

We should k*ll him!

No, we can't k*ll a brother.

I hate that rule.

I hate Jean-Guy.

You hate the whole world.

Last week you told me you wanted

to k*ll Darius.

sh*t. Because I slept with Jenny?

[continues speaking French]

[all groaning, speaking French]

[grunting]

[in English] This is all your fault.

You did this.

[groans]

[all clamoring]

[Jean-Guy groans]

f*ck you, Hampton. I tried to help you.

No, no.

Just take the drill. Take it.

- Ow. Ah.

- Jean-Guy. Jean-Guy.

[shouting in French]

[speaks French]

- [in English] Why is everyone shouting?

- Get in the trunk!

- I'm not getting in that.

- Get in!

Hey!

Okay, okay. Getting in. Getting in.

[mutters]

[Prevost brothers speaking French]

Now,

we do things my way!

I don't care about your way!

- [arguing in French]

- [panting]

[in English] Let me out!

[arguing continues]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

God, please. Please forgive me

for all the bad stuff I have done.

Protect my wife, my kids.

[Felix shouting in French]

[Jacques] Oh, sh*t.

[speaking French]

Jean-Guy.

You good?

You good?

- Say something.

- Uh-oh.

[Jacques speaks French]

Jean-Guy.

[pants] Jean-Guy.

[speaks French]

[groans]

[grunts, groans]

[pants]

No.

Let him go.

[in English]

Mr. Chambers avenged what we could not.

A brother's betrayal.

Your debt is paid.

[groans]

[engine starts]

[Astoria] They had some questions

about your whereabouts this weekend.

I can explain.

Harrison.

[radio chatter]

[person] Man [grunts] Stop.

Why you gotta be so rough, man?

[officer] You're dragging your feet. Move.

- [person] Don't push me, man. [grunts]

- [officer] Come on.

- Stop pushing.

- Ow!

What happened to you?

Oh, uh

Everything.

But I-I've taken care of everything.

There's not gonna be any more

I don't want to hear it, Hampton.

I was heading to the airport,

but I came here.

Why?

I told Detective Hargrove

that I was on that camping trip with you.

Why did you do that?

Because our kids don't need

to see you back inside.

- Oh.

- Because I need you out.

Thank you.

[grunts] Come on. Let's go home.

I'm not coming home.

I'm going to San Francisco.

For how long?

I don't know.

[grunts]

[sighs]

Einstein?

- [knocks on door]

- Einstein?

Harrison?
