Despite the obvious challenges, Zev sets out on a mission to deliver long-delayed justice with his own trembling hand.

Oh...

Something small.

Sure thing. Okay.

Can I see your driver's license?

Yeah.

Yeah...

. okay-

Beachwood. Nice town.

Yes. But, um...

We've moved.

We live closer to my son.

What are you doing with my license?

I'm entering your information

into the FBI background check database.

Oh.

What do they look for?

A bunch of stuff.

Whether you're a convicted felon,

if you've been involved

in a crime of violence,

dishonorably discharged from the army,

mentally competent.

If you've got more than one DUI offense

in the last five years,

if you're a fugitive,

or currently charged with a felony.

Fugitive?

Yeah, like, if you're

running from the law.

(chuckles)

Do I look like I can run?

(chuckles nervously)

Uh, okay. Let me show you

some of our smaller handguns.

We got everything.

SIG Sauers, 1911s, Glocks,

single action, double action.

Sir, do you know much about guns?

Um...

- No. Why?

- It's all right.

We get all types in here.

Uh, okay. Beginners...

usually go with a .22.

It's light. Easy to use.

Very little recoil.

(muttering)

I think that's what

my friend suggested.

Okay. In my opinion,

you might as well get yourself a BB gun

if you get a .22.

Look, I'm not trying

to give you the hard sell, but $500 more,

you can get yourself a gun

with real stopping power.

Now this is a 9mm Glock 17.

Glock? It is German, no?

You're in the right neighborhood.

Manufactured in Austria.

That's the most popular

law enforcement pistol in the world. Okay?

It's got very little recoil

so probably won't hurt your hand

but it'll definitely hurt the intruder.

Is it easy to use?

I hope!

Yeah, it's simple.

Yeah, but...

Would you mind, could you...

write down the instructions for me?

Uh, sure. I mean,

I can show you how to use it.

No, that would be good.

But please, write it down for me.

Sometimes I forget things.

Yeah, we all do, right?

That's no problem.

Okay, you're good to go.

I'll grab a pen, and um...

write it all down for you.

(gun clicking)

- Mr. Guttman?

- Guttman. Yeah...

How did you know?

Your friend called earlier

and said you'd be arriving soon.

Your room's all ready for you.

We have you in...

125. Just down the hall.

- How much do I owe?

- It's all taken care of,

including incidentals.

Oh, and I booked your taxi for the morning,

like your friend asked.

Thank you.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hello.

- Zev?

- Yeah.

It's Max.

I gave the hotel

some instructions.

Are you okay'?

Yes, yes, I'm okay, Max.

And you got the gun?

Yeah, yeah.

Good. Good.

You know what to do.

Just take care of yourself, yeah?

You have a good night, Max.

Good night, Zev.

Ruth?
