## Plot

### Know the Rules

Nick and Westly arrive at the Kingdom and after cautiously avoiding the barbed wire and sandbags, Nick notices the gateus wide open which Nick considers to be odd. He also noticed that there no one in one of the guard towers. Westly worries about there being walkers in there, but Nick says walkers will be the least of their concern. He sense how quiet everything is and shuts the gate. He notes the absence of Guards and goes inside the courtyard. He yells to see if there is anyone around, but everyone is shown as empty. Nick is confused as the Kingdom is never empty and that there are many residents. He cannot understand why they are inside the building. He asks Westly why the it is so empty. Westly says it isn't supposed to be like this and that he has a bad feeling about this. He asks to be let go, but is told by Nick that he can't. Nick promises Westly he will talk to Lorenzo about Hunter and why the payment cannot be made. Westly says it won't matter what they do, but Nick remains adamant and says they have to try. He asks Westly to help him find where the Residents are and begins calling out. He checks around and finds the chests empty. He wonders if the Kingdom has been abandoned and everyone moved on. However, he cannot understand why they would leave as there are walls and supplies. King Lorenzo finally comes outside and notices Nick has come back. Nick calls out to Lorenzo, however Lorenzo instantly comes forward and asks for his payment. Westly tells him he couldn't get it, but Lorenzo has heard of what Westly was about to tell him over and over again. Westly says the walkers trampled his wheat crops and mentions Hunter. Nick steps in and tells Lorenzo that Westly lost his son and that the crops were trampled. Westly begs Lorenzo and tells him he wanted to pay. Lorenzo reminds Westly that his crops were needed a.d he has been told about this before. Nick says he brought Westly so the situation would be explained. He tells Lorenzo he has to understand that Westly is an old man and that even if the crops were available, they wouldn't have been able to be tended to. Nick additionally says that Westly doesn't have his son and there are no other options. Lorenzo argues that without the wheat crops he won't have much options as his Guards will starve during the upcoming winter. He says that those crops were needed and that Westly knows the rules. Nick tells Lorenzo he needs to understand that the situation is unique and that Westly didn't purposefully miss his payment, as he couldn't. Lorenzo reminds Nick that if everyone else did whatever they wanted to do and didn't follow his instructions then this community would not be active. He guesses that the system of the CDC was very relaxed which is why it fell. He reminds Nick that the rules play a part in keeping everyone alive. He says that Westly isn't dead yet. Nick in an unconfident tone says there has to be another end to to the situation as Westly voluntarily came here which means that should count towards something. Lorenzo tells Nick his job has been made easier to which Nick asks what he means. Lorenzo pulls out a M1911 and holds it in in his right hand. Nick cannot believe Lorenzo is serious. Lorenzo tells him he has to ensure the community stands and that he cannot allow people to mess with the rules in his Kingdom. Nick asks what Lorenzo will do. Westly reminds Nick what he had told beforehand. Nick assures Westly on another solution but is told by Westly he doesn't understand the rules. Lorenzo orders Nick to stay outside while he takes Westly inside for a talk. He orders Westly to go inside. Before going in, Westly tells Nock this is not a game he's used to playing and that he should learn the rules quickly. Nick apologizes and tells Westly he tried. Westly goes inside and tells his goodbye. Lorenzo breaks up the sentiment moment and questions Nick on why he brough Westly here as he was useless. Nick argues that he didn't know what else to do as there were no crops. He reminds Lorenzo of Westly being an old man who lost his son. Lorenzer counters this by saying that his Guards will die and asks for people will grieve for them. Lorenzo tells Nick there is a way when told by Nick of Westly proving himself worthy. Lorenzo proceeds to go inside while Nick waited outside.
