The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMike sits Leo down and reminds him of getting lost, then the legal hook: if a judge deems him incapacitated, he needs a guardian. Leo's daughter cannot be found, so the state may take over—except Leo hears "state" as a place, not a government. Back at the desks, colleagues skim the file: the guy is loaded, and a fifteen-hundred-a-month stipend hangs in the air. Care talk turns into money talk.
