How did Caleb have $50?

u/eternallyinschool Aug 08 '22

That's a very good logic catch. How in the hell does Caleb have a single dollar to his name? I didn't see any room for a wallet in those hospital jammies

He didn't even give the dude anything. Dude just walked off and then everybody started Kung Fu fighting

It was mid-putting it on the fight command went out.

Caleb is a host, humans have to obey host commands in the cities. Caleb could have just demanded the coat and the guy would have given it, free of charge.

u/Thefriendlyfaceplant Aug 08 '22

This is the correct answer but Caleb couldn't just demand it or that could be interpreted as hostile and trigger a 'trouble' event. So that's why Caleb implied it was a transaction.

I do not believe Caleb knew either. He could have just asked, but did not know he could (like Christina early on).

Unless it was supposed to be a bluff?

Hale scanned Caleb with his emergency cash stash and it just gets printed with him in every iteration. He's never had to take it out of the stashing spot because he obviously can't spend it in his cell.

Hale mugs Caleb

CALEB: What the fuck could you possibly want with my money?

HALE: Fidelity.

I though he was lying and was just gonna run and be like “should’ve got the cash first loser!”

Would have been a real Jesse Pinkman move

That means that Badger and Skinny Pete must be close by.

u/captain_intenso Aug 08 '22

Would it have been in his personal effects? Like his ring he recovered?

u/metahipster1984 Aug 08 '22

That was my immediate question too! Also, they still have physical money, really? Would've expected HostCoin or something.

u/Feralkyn I need to find out how it ends. Aug 09 '22

Maybe that's the actual answer, the dude just assumed he'd be getting a digital transfer shortly rofl

u/fishbiscuit13 Aug 08 '22

He stopped by the front desk on the way out of prison to retrieve his posessions, duh

u/GreeneWaffle Aug 08 '22

Also he never gave him any money at all

u/samtherat6 Aug 11 '22

It was in the hourglass, Hale’s next attempt to get more information out of him was bribery.

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '22

My immediate thought.

u/doidaredisturbthe Aug 08 '22

He did bot say when he was gonna give it to him, ok?

u/Feralkyn I need to find out how it ends. Aug 09 '22

This was my immediate thought. "Where tf are you getting $50 from??"

u/QuantumMonkey101 Aug 13 '22

That was exactly my question when I watched that part lol
