"Toward the end of the episode, Alamo and Rue engage in a high-stakes version of Russian roulette after he blames her for one of his strippers' fatal overdose."
""It was on top of a hill in Palmdale at one o'clock in the morning, and it was freezing cold, the wrong time to be in cowboy boots and Speedos," Akinnuoye-Agbaje recalls."
