If the snipers don't get you,

the gangs will spot you

from the radio towers.

-Mmm-hmm.

-You came from Two Harbors?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Quaint.

Why did you leave?

Nina wanted to be

with her folks,

so we're making the trek

to Beer Town.

You having second thoughts?

No. No. It's, um...

They, uh... They don't know

that we're coming.

They used to speak over the CB

about every day,

and we haven't heard from them

in a couple of weeks.

You think something happened?

Can't really say that

to her though, can I?

- Dinner's ready!

- Come on.

- Oh, no, I couldn't...

- I don't believe you.

Thank you.

Oh. Sorry, generator.

So what did you do, Nina?

Out there, before.

I worked in a design firm,

in downtown Minneapolis.

And Mark?

Uh, I was in-between jobs.

You know,

did some handyman stuff,

construction.

Mark was trying to get

his contractor's license.

I wasn't trying to get,

I was getting it, um...

-That's what I meant.

-Right.

So, Nina, bringing home

the bacon. That's neat.

Bet you took advantage

of that, Mark.

Fishing, drinking beer,

golfing.

Hell, I would have.

For all you lovebirds out there brazen the barren countryside.

On the Caprice label,

it's calledTill

by The Angels.

Oh, hon?

Come on, now.

So sorry, our song.

Till then I'll worship you

Till the tropic sun

Turns cold

Till this young world

Grows old

My darling, I'll adore you

You are my reason to live

All alone I would give

Just to have you adore me

Oh, till the rivers

Flow upstream

Till lovers cease to dream

Gross.

Okay. Okay, we have guests.

Sorry, I get carried away.

Man, Crazy Al.

World may have went to sh*t,

but damn, did radio

get better, huh.

- Language.

- Sorry, hon.

You like this music?

It's okay.

So you're a designer.

No artist gangs

for you to join?

Theresa.

No, I...

I used to work in the office,

handling monetary things.

Budgets, contract negotiations.

I don't think they have

a gang for that.

- The Gamblers.

- The Gamblers?

I saw this Gambler once,

he was wearing a buffalo head.

Hey. You should tell Mark

about the Bobbies.

-The Bobbies?

-I found this Nailer

with my dad once

on the side of the road.

He was stabbed

all over his body.

Blood was everywhere.

All his cuts

were below his chest,

like, whatever was stabbing

at him was short.

Like Bella.

We're thinking

they're kids.

Little stabbers.

Hey, Bella. How about

you show me your room?

Sure.

Let's go.

Mark and I

will wash up.

You guys seem

really happy.

We are.

Nathan is amazing.

What about you and Mark?

Come on. Don't pretend

I didn't see that little thing

at dinner.

It's complicated.

Try me.

We were going through

a divorce when
