Outline

Barry and Chris are the only survivors of the bum-rush. After Chris kills a Bolivian gang member, the two escape the airfield and return to Los Angeles. Going immediately to rehearsal, Barry gives poor line delivery and is berated by Sally and Gene. The Chechens receive a call from their Bolivian assassination target, Cristobal Sifuentes, who says that there was no need for violence as he would have gladly shared the stash house with them, and declares war on the Chechens. Pazar, furious with Fuches and believing Barry dead, orders NoHo Hank to kill Fuches. Moss learns that there were Marines involved with the hit on the Bolivians and realises that Barry is her mystery suspect, despite coincidental evidence that convinces the police otherwise. Chris, visibly shaken after the morning’s events, tells Barry that he intends to go to the police to clear his conscience. Finding this unacceptable, Barry kills Chris and begins to suffer an emotional breakdown. Arriving late to the class’ Shakespeare night, Barry delivers his single line with such emotional intensity that the audience becomes captivated and Sally gets a confidence boost, impressing an agent she had invited.
