- Quotes
Bruce Liddell: Marty, you can't blame yourself for what happened.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: I know.
Bruce Liddell: Do you?
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Yeah.
Bruce Liddell: I'm serious; there's nothing you could do about it. Like my dad always said, "Everything happens for a reason."
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: Your dad sounds like he was full of shit. With all due respect.
Bruce Liddell: Yeah, well, perhaps.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: You really believe that? You really think that there's some preordained chart, floating around up in the ether, with our fate all figured out?
Bruce Liddell: I don't know about a preordained chart...
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: That's a bunch of crap. Things happen because human beings make decisions, they commit acts, and that makes things happen. And it creates a snowball effect with the, you know, their world around them, causes other people to make decisions. Cycle continues, snowball keeps rolling. And even when that's not the case, when life's events are not connected to other people's decisions and actions, it's not some bullshit fucking test sent down from the universe to check your resolve, you know.
Bruce Liddell: Okay.
Martin 'Marty' Byrde: I mean, what would the reason be for some healthy five-year-old to get a brain tumor? Or why would a tsunami wipe out a village? You tell those families everything happens for a reason. No, sometimes people make decisions, shit happens, and we gotta act accordingly. Or you can... crawl in a hole and die, you know?
Bruce Liddell: Well, it was a shitty thing for me to say and I'm sorry, bud.

In another time and place, Agent Roy is approaching a man in a park. The man is Louis Zehner, an associate of Del's. Roy is trying to get him to narc on his boss, and it seems that Louis is considering the offer. Roy follows up the rendezvous with a meeting with his mom. Later joined by his current boyfriend, the three talk about Roy's mother's unemployment. As she leaves, Roy's boyfriend notes that his mother's eyes indicate she might be "on something." Flashing forward to the resort, Marty is fresh off his midnight meeting with Del. He tells Wendy about the job offer. Although he notes that he turned Del down, he does admit, "I would do it really well."Wendy resists but entertains the idea with him. "It's not like you'd be stealing," she says. They go back and forth but before they even admit it aloud, we know what will happen: they agree to move forward with Del. Flashing a final time back to the resort, Del kills Louis in front of Marty and Bruce. His services are no longer needed, and the message has been sent: the Cartel will not tolerate liars. Marty's hand has been dealt. His chances for "human decision" are thinning out.
