Carmela looked at Marcus, who was closing his eyes and didn't matter as an answer. 

"Marcus... don't ever blame us on why we didn't do something. It's because... we don't even know who to fight, we don't even know how to use a gun in the first place. In fact, I was forced to do everything just for us to be safe...," Matthew indicated in an obvious way. He glimpsed at the other side and didn't know what to do as he put his knuckles in between of his mouth. He might have been punching Marcus over and over again if it weren't for Carmela and Xian.
