Nelson wakes up Lev with icy water. Lev and Miracolina are Nelson’s prisoners, tied to beds in a cottage. Nelson talks about the Cavenaugh estate and decides to play Russian roulette with five tranq bullets and one explosive one. When Lev says he doesn’t know if Connor is alive, Nelson shoots Miracolina with a tranq bullet.
In another room of the cottage, Nelson checks the AWOLs he tagged. One of them is in Arizona, at an abandoned air force base (which turns out to be the Graveyard). Nelson listens outside the door when Miracolina wakes up for a moment, then busts through the door, ready to resume the game.
Nelson asks again about Connor’s location, and Lev asks Nelson to shoot him instead of Miracolina. Lev lies, saying Connor is in Pennsylvania. Nelson makes racist remarks about Native Americans on the reservation there, doubts Lev’s information is true, and leaves the room.
