Tony Ybarra’s radical son Bill visits him, and they decide to walk their dog. On the way to the park, Tony notices that Bill’s appearance is more subdued. Bill asks Tony if he can bring guns to keep at his parents apartment for a couple of days, but Tony says he has to first ask Gale, his wife and Bill’s mother. Bill explains that FBI agents broke into the place where he stored the guns for an unrelated reason, but that they may have seen the guns in the duffel bag. Tony then changes his mind and says that he can bring them, since he assumes Gale will be okay with it. Bill leaves and says he will call at night to leave the guns. When he gets back home, Tony tells Gale about his conversation with Bill. Bill calls and says he will be there in an hour to stay the night. He arrives with the guns in long leather cases, and the family hides them in Tony’s study closet. Bill ends up not spending the night and leaves. Tony walks him down to his friend’s car and says that he disagrees with his tactics. On the way, they a writer acquaintance of Tony’s momentarily stops them, but they are able to escape. At the dog park the next day, Tony is approached by a Puerto Rican man who tells him that someone will pick up the guns tomorrow. The next day, a woman arrives, and Tony puts the guns in her car. He encounters the writer acquaintance a second time. Tony uses a technique that Bill told him about and finds a tap in his apartment phone. Tony, Gale, and Clifford go to demonstrations. Everytime there is news of another bombing, Tony looks for news of Bill.
