♪ ♪

- Back in the 1950s,

there was a game show
on TV called

"You Bet Your Life,"
hosted by Groucho Marx.

Every week,
Groucho would ask

inane questions
and insult the contestants.

A fake duck would drop down
on a string,

and Groucho would go...

- Say the secret word,
and win $100.

- But not once did anyone
ever actually bet their life.

Unlike in Oz,

no one ever put their life
on the line.

- The attempted assassination
of Governor James Devlin

by a former employee of
the Oswald Correctional Facility

has sent a shock wave
through this election campaign

and the entire state.

Devlin, who is listed
in stable condition,

announced that he intends
to stay in the race

for reelection.

The suspect, Clayton Hughes--

[men cheer]

- ...At the Crown and Shield
Holding Center.

all: Clayton! Clayton!
Clayton! Clayton!

Come on.
Let's go!

[buzzing continues]

Get in your cell.

Now.

- Clayton Hughes is
a close friend of our family's,

and though I find his actions
utterly reprehensible,

I feel compelled,

out of loyalty
to his mother and late father,

to stand by Clayton's side
at his hour of need.

I am therefore withdrawing
my name as a candidate

for the nomination
of lieutenant governor.

Thank you so much.

- Why not?
- Well, for two reasons.

One, I know you hired Pancamo

to put a hit out
on Hank Schillinger.

- No way.
- Oh, yeah.

And Hank's dead,
and Vern doesn't know it, but...

That's only because
Pancamo makes sure

no one's gonna find the body.

Let's say they do,
you know, find the body.

Schillinger's gonna
come back after you,

and he's gonna destroy
the rest of your family.

He will m*rder Holly.

- f*ck you.
- The second reason is...

You tell him I k*lled Shemin,

they will k*ll me, but...

I think you love me too much
to see that happen.

Hey, Mondo.
How's it hanging, baby?

How is Brown in bed?

- Chris, don't.

- You should take care
of where you stick your d*ck.

That baby is lethal.

- You know, I liked it better
when we weren't speaking.

- Winning and losing--
the two sides

of the same silver dollar.

But winning isn't
always a good thing.

Think on it.

You suddenly come
into a lot of cash.

You start worrying
about how to spend it,

how to save it, invest it.

You buy all this stuff
you don't really need,

and you get weighed
the f*ck down.

Losing, on the other hand,
has a kind of purifying effect.

When you got nothing,

when you're stripped
of all the doodads in life,

you're free.

- Supreme Allah.

What is up with Mondo Brown?

I mean,
that boy's nothing but trouble.

Just a deluxe pain in the ass.
