Bob: Previously on "sh**t"...

That's six sh*ts. 1,500 yards.

What's that guy's name?

Lon Scott.

He's a hell of a sh**t.

If we don't start working together...

Together?

I know you're onto Lon Scott, and you are going to need help.

Just because you realized you're expendable doesn't make us partners.

It doesn't mean we don't need to be.

I need a path out.

Find Payne.

Get the thumb drive. I'll fund your IRA.

[groans]

God, you're a dumb-ass.

The thumb drive?

Lon: They hired Swagger to k*ll us.

Now he's gonna k*ll them instead.

You arranged this with Swagger?

Worth the risk in order to get my sh*t at him.

For years, I wanted to be as good as you, but... we both know I'm better now.

I'm the sn*per.

You're just a... marksman.

You could be implicated, too, Lon.

Anhur is all over that thumb drive.

You know Swagger's here, right?

I had hoped so.

Why?

Because you failed.

Now I'm gonna finish it.

Swagger still lives.

It's being handled.

I don't like the unknown.

Then get out of the espionage business.

Perhaps we'll dig a hole for you, Mr. Meachum.

Swagger's gone. He's got Annex B.

Krukov: Our mutual friends will not be pleased.

Good-bye, Mr. Meachum.

Hey, you remember the old Ranger station?

Are we in trouble?

Bob: I need you and Mary to get there as soon as you can. Can you slip away quietly?

Yes, definitely. Where are you going?

You've always covered for me.

I need you to do it this one last time.

Can I speak to Julie? Simon Porter. She knows me.

You've got one second to get your foot out of my door before I break it.

Lon: What do you want, Porter?

Julie Swagger's gone.

I'll have someone there within the hour.

Mama needs you underneath the bed, all right?

You can't come out until Mama comes back for you.

Okay? Promise me.

Promise.
