Season 3, Episodes 7, 8 & 9 - SPOILERS

Questions:

1. What was the overall mission Ray, Zoey and the guy were on? I got a hint they were transporting drugs, but I'd thought Ray was anti-drug... maybe just for his daughter?

2. What part did Zo play in the mission? She seems to know the scruffy leader guy, but no romance there.

3. Did Ray have a prior relationship with the guy?

4. Is the bearded guy the same one who leads the bad guys at the very end of Ep. 9? The one who says "Fuck you" to Ray?

5. Why is he trying to kill Ray?

I sure felt sad about Ray's mate.

That immolation was impressive weapons improvisation by Ray. The way he looked up off-camera I knew he had found something "beauty."

Anyone else find themselves thinking with an Aussie accent for a few hours after watching?
