The Freelancer is on assignment, and a Red employee has a side hustle.

I mean, can a mass murderer catch a break?

To be fair, he was able to buy a three-foot gummy snake for Agnes.

Later, they also find the large plastic gloves the Freelancer had worn that could contain trace evidence.

Rogelio is sending Red off with a Tupperware full of delicious home cooking.
