Shira, please don't go away again.
I'm not a homewrecker.
Buck found out I bought
my first 500,000 followers.
He said he would expose me if
I didn't get some dirt on you.
I never want to talk to you again.
So many dead in my life.
So why is Brad haunting me?
[EMA] Mickey!
You and Mickey staked
out that club, right?
[RACHEL] So we have the blueprints.
We have the address, and I have a gun.
[EMA] So we're going to do this.

Whitney posted something
wild on uDOu, apparently.
Just the facts. I fucked up, big-time.
I sold my soul
to keep what I'm about
to tell you all a secret.
So, when I first got on
here, I bought followers,
like, a shit ton,
with money that I stole from my brother.
He found out and
threatened to tell everyone
unless I helped him
do something to a girl
that I really care about,
a girl that I still
really, really care about.

Bark, bark, boo.
Now, Jim, with Troy Taylor
and most of the starters
returning for this year,
I'd say people are expecting
big things from this group of rascals.
[JIM] That's right, Arthur.
These Camels are sure to hump their way
straight to the finals.
But can they secure this first W
without their new underclassmen
sensation, Mickey Bolitar,
of Camel basketball royalty?
[SPOON] Jim, I don't know. I don't know.
And speaking of gyms, and
this is actually a funny segue,

We did an emergency evacuation
of six boys in a foster home.
Luther, he had suffered enough,
but now his abuser was
starting to focus his attention
on Luther's little brother, Ricky.
Luther did not want to go.
And in the rush, your
father pushed the boys
through a window,
and a sharp nail caught
Luther on his cheek
and ripped his face.
He screamed.
There was a big commotion,
and, of course, somebody
called the police.

but your father had
already hidden the boys
in a shelter room in the tunnels.

charge of this operation.

When we locked those boys
in that shelter room to save them,
we did not realize

time we got rid of the police
and we unlocked that door,
Ricky
was gone.

After that, we welded
the shelter door shut,
and we decided to put
the rescued children
in other temporary situations instead.
- Like you did with Ashley.
- Exactly.
We got Ashley the Kent identification,
and we planned to
hide her in plain sight
until we could find
her a permanent home.
But Luther he was inconsolable,
and he blamed your father for all of it.
And he wanted revenge.
So he bided his time,
and he waited for your father to return
to the United States.
He wanted your father to suffer
the same way Ricky had.
How did he pull it off?
[LIZZY SOBEK] He stole the ambulance,
and he got someone else who hates Abeona
to drive the truck.

would still want some cake.
And I was just wondering if
Would all of you come over
for a party for him tonight?

- [RACHEL] Yeah, absolutely.
Okay. Uh, great.
What Say around seven?
- [RACHEL] Seven's cool. Great.

Uh, cool. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Um, and-and there will be sodas there.
And, uh, Rachel, your dance was amazing.
- Oh, thank you.
- [SHIRA] All right.
Well, I'll see you later.
- [RACHEL] Bye.
- [SPOON] Bye.
I was gonna go to Agent's,
but I guess I can
probably just go tomorrow.
- Agent?
- My tattoo artist.
- [RACHEL] Hmm.
- I want this off, for good.
Like, I'm done.
Oh, yeah, the the butterfly. Why?
Because of what they're doing.
- It's not right.
- They're rescuing kids.
We we are rescuing kids.
Then what the fuck was that
film in the basement, then?
I can't get it out of my head, Rachel.
That was that was really messed up.
But think about Ashley.
Think about Dylan.
Abeona saved them.
[SPOON] And Candy?
What about Candy?
Why did we save Ashley but not Candy?
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, it's okay.
I'm not it's not I just
I just I'm asking.
Actually, I-I think I'll
I'll meet you guys at Mickey's.

Dylan was able to do the rest.
Through the tunnels.
Yes.
Speaking of which, I believe you took
something which belongs to me.
My father is on that
film. It's mine, too.
But you need to know
what happens at the end.
You need to know what happens
after the film stopped.
We did an emergency evacuation
of six boys in a foster home.
Luther, he had suffered enough,
but now his abuser was
starting to focus his attention
on Luther's little brother, Ricky.
Luther did not want to go.
And in the rush, your
father pushed the boys
through a window,
and a sharp nail caught
Luther on his cheek
and ripped his face.
He screamed.
There was a big commotion,
and, of course, somebody
called the police.
I went upstairs to deal with them,
but your father had
already hidden the boys
in a shelter room in the tunnels.
[BRAD] Come on.

[LIZZY SOBEK] It had food rations.
It had a sink, toilet, beds,

Your father was in
charge of this operation.

What happened next?
When we locked those boys
in that shelter room to save them,
we did not realize

After that, we welded
the shelter door shut,

the rescued children
in other temporary situations instead.
- Like you did with Ashley.
- Exactly.
We got Ashley the Kent identification,
and we planned to
hide her in plain sight
until we could find
her a permanent home.
But Luther he was inconsolable,
and he blamed your father for all of it.
And he wanted revenge.
So he bided his time,
and he waited for your father to return
to the United States.
He wanted your father to suffer
the same way Ricky had.
How did he pull it off?
[LIZZY SOBEK] He stole the ambulance,
and he got someone else who hates Abeona
to drive the truck.

This is why I showed you
that Butcher photograph.
Not only to gauge your reaction
but, more importantly, to warn you.

Yes.
Luther is your butcher.
Why did you tell me my

I have lost so many people in my life.
I have lost everybody I have ever loved.
And my curse is that I survive.
But dead is dead.
There is no reprieve.
None of my loved ones ever visited me
from the great beyond.
I never saw their ghosts,
and I never heard their voices
except for your father.
I hear him.
I hear his voice in the night.
He calls to me.
And then all of a sudden,
you show up in my life?
That is no coincidence, Mickey.
That is fate.
So he's really dead, isn't he?
♪
I'm afraid so.
But you, you are alive.
And Abeona, it existed
long before I was born,
and it will go on and
survive long after I am gone.
But the torch was passed to me.
And one day the torch will be passed
to one of you.
One of us?
Forgive me, but I must go.
