What's going on?

Nothing.

[chuckling]: Okay.

Just hold on a second, okay?

Someone calls me up asking me to borrow a gun...

I got to ask a couple questions.

Okay.

What happened, Julia?

Nothing happened. Nothing happened.

Look, uh...

I don't want to get into your business.

-I appreciate that. -But this is a small town.

The sheriff and I go hunting together.

Not long after you showed up shot,

he told me he looked into you.

And yeah, there was a Juliana Crain

from San Francisco, but...

she died in that car crash right alongside her parents.

I don't know your story and I don't need to know.

I like you, mysteries and all.

And I want to help, but...

you got to tell me what you're up against.

Nazis from another universe.

Well, one pistol's not gonna do it.

Nope. [chuckling]: I'm afraid not.

Listen, I'm sorry I called you,

I, um... I'll figure it out.

I'm sure there's a pawn shop where I can find one.

Whoa.

Those pawn shop guns

are apt to blow up in your hand.

JULIANA: Not unless the barrel's plugged.

Careful; it's loaded.

Thank you.

Looks like you know how it works.
