Okay. Alright.

[ Carl rubs his face, his nose. ]

I'm sorry if I've interrupted anything. It's been kinda a bad day.

voice;

[biteouttagrimes]

You're never interruptin' anything, Carl. You know that.

Maybe we should think about gettin' some walkie talkies. That way, there's no chance of our messages gettin' sent to other people.

voice;

[112ounces]

Like burner phones? Or just walkie-talkies?

voice;

[biteouttagrimes]

[ A pause. ]

Where'd you learn a phrase like burner phone?

[ It's not necessarily a bad thing. But as a former cop, that's the type of thing you associate with criminals. ]

[ aw shit he fucked up he's horrible at being a teenager . . . but it's something he has to tell Dad sooner or later: that he did sort of joined a terrorist cell behind Dad's back, even if all he did was answer a letter. And made up a fake name. And . . . did some things. ]

Jesse Pinkman gave me one.

[biteouttagrimes]

The school nurse? Why'd Jesse Pinkman give you one of those?

[ And Rick hopes it's more because it's beneficial to not have the government listening in rather than any sort of illicit activity. ]

voice;

Because we both got letters from a guy called Mr. 0. Said that he wanted to save imPorts the government. Said he wanted our help. Jesse gave me one as a precaution.

[ There's a long, drawn out pause on Rick's end of the line. ]

An' you just believed it? What if he was lyin'? Not Jesse, this Mr. 0.

[ Because it sounds like Jesse had been looking out for Carl at least -- even though Rick sure as hell was going to question the guy about this situation. ]

voice;

[112ounces]

No. I didn't. Not really. But I didn't see anyone who offered any real solutions to people like Crane. So I wanted to hear him out. But he never showed his face, so I trust Jesse's judgement on this whole thing.

voice;

[biteouttagrimes]

Huh. Wonder if he's still out there.

[ And maybe Rick should dedicate himself to finding out the true identity of the guy who reached out to his son of all people and decided he would be a great addition to some terrorist group. ]

voice;

[112ounces]

Yeah, I really don't know.

voice;

[biteouttagrimes]

Well either way, next time -- let me know before you try to join any terrorist groups.

[ It's said lightheartedly, but Rick is pretty serious about being in the know. ]

voice;

[112ounces]

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

voice;

[biteouttagrimes]

You told me now. And that's what matters.
