What could the punishment have been? They still seemed on good terms w/ the way he called her "my dear" at the negotiations before the war. Eh?

And another thing. if they did tell the truth, and it was all good that it happened and the punishment wasn't severe (or existent) for loosing the tanker, well, eff them for needlessly killin off charlie. did he deserve that? that was some cold hard pooh scratch was slangin at him to cover their tracks. ]

Latch and Scratch could have simply said they encountered someone in their territory and they were lucky to escape. They don't even need to mention they already had the tanker...it actually could help the ruse that Charlie screwed up. "we told you those guys were around, how could you fall asleep etc etc"

And Latch and Scratch could have said that since they had no ammo they really couldn't have done anything to stop the people who stole the tanker. They could have gotten off the hook and (I wouldn't say poor Charlie but) Charlie could still be alive.

Here's the hook... they didn't radio it in. They talked and bargained instead. Besides, we don't know what Durai's rule's are. Remember when they were in the clothing store, they thought of several scenarios that just didn't pass the logic test.

Durai reminds me of "The Tick-Tock Man" from Stephen King's "The Wastelands"- you're REALLY scared of him before you meet him, then he turns out to be a dangerous psychopathic tyrant. I hope Durai was killed in the attack (when the zombies showed up) but he probably wasn't.
Does he respect the resolve of the Tower people now? Is he planning some petty revenge on them? I think the heavy casualties they dealt to his men probably earned them his respect....

I like that character too and look forward to hearing more of him.

Durai was only in the show for about five minutes at most; he's instantly a strong character and they should bring him back.

There's always something so powerful about a character that is angry, but doesn't show anger. I'm not saying that's the case with Durai, but for those brief moments we saw him he played the antithesis of what we would have been expecting. Scratch isn't anything like that and her character gives off a different aura despite having many of the same qualities. Durai's cool, calm and collected nature makes him that much more interesting.

Unless you believe some of the theories that he died in The War (I know I don't) there's no question he's coming back at some point.

That is not necessarily true. I know that there are mexican drug cartels that would would train american gangsters in a paramiltary fashion and have them be escorts/bodyguards/enforcers/assassins/ect. inside the country of mexico itself. It made for a grand media fiasco when one such group accidently killed a Mexican Roman Catholic Bishop I think. You can tell what happened afterwards when a country composed of 95 percent Roman Catholics heard of what happened even if the country is highly corrupt with drug money.

Anyways, it is a longshot that Durai would happen to be a drug paramilitary trained assassin for sake of story for We're Alive but it is not far off either that he could been a well off criminal that on his own time practice marksmenship and learn the basics of organization while he was running a criminal empire.
