The quartet arrive at Lazaro's empty house, where they kill some time by sharing a few home truths and playing the blame game, resulting in a playground-style scuffle. The machine-gun-toting Lazaro isn't best pleased by the behaviour of his uninvited guests - but after hearing their story he is happy to help them out. It seems too good to be true - haven't Woody, Quinn, Baxter and Rick learned their lesson by now?
