Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is. As Dale & Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they’re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail & trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both.
