[Grunting]

[Ringing]

Hello?

Man: Oh, my god, Liz, where are you?

Brian?

No, no, it's Jay.

I've been trying you since yesterday.

You missed a board
meeting. I got worried.

I even went to your house.



Are you ok?

Where are you?

I'm in my car. I'm...

Liz, where in your car?

Downtown?

Where downtown?

Ohh...

Liz?

Liz! Hello? Are you there?

I'm here. I'm on sixth,
near the doughnut shop.

Woman: Is she ok?

Jay: I called your husband.

Brian's on his way
back to town right now.

- Wait.
- Come on.



I... I woke up in the car. I...

I don't know how I got there.

You don't sound well.

I'm gonna come and get you, ok?

You said you're near the doughnut shop?

I left work and then...

It's all just a blur.

Jay: Please, just stay where you are.

I'm heading to my car right now.

Liz.

Liz!

Hey, are you ok?

Miss?

[Gasping]

Somebody call 911!

Man: You got this, bro.

Second man: [Groaning] Ok, all right.

Man: Here we go. Come on.

[Grunting]

Second man: That's it.

[Grunting]

Philip “The Brick”
Brooks, ladies and gentlemen.

Sorry.

Brick? That's not a thing, man.

What are you talking about? Sure, it is.

Brick. I mean, you're
practically indestructible.

That's a solid nickname.

Yeah.

So what's the deal, man?

Why haven't you been returning my calls?

I'm busy.

Busy?

What, so now I gotta
pick up your every call

like I'm your high school girlfriend

or your grandmother's gonna come around

and drop the hammer on me?

She will, too.

Yeah. I think I could take her.

I don't know about that.

My grandmother's pretty street.

You know that.

Yeah.

So, come on, man.

It's me. What's going on?

It's been 3 years, man.

3 years and I'm still
right where he wants me,

in this chair.

What are you talking about?

We caught the Crimson King.

We put him away for good, man.

You were a big part of that.

I may have escaped with
my life, thanks to you,

but after two years of P.T.,
all I got to show for it

is a few tentative steps.

You just hit a wall.

What do the doctors say?

They say to keep on working,
I'm getting stronger,

but every day is just like the last.

I'm never gonna walk again, man.

Hey. Ranger up, all right?

You were never afraid
to do the work before.

It's not just that.

[Text message tone]

[Sighs]

Look, I gotta...

It's ok, man.

It's ok. Go. Duty calls.

All right, when I get back,

we're gonna have dinner and
we'll talk about this more.

Hey.

You better be buyin', 'cause
I've suffered enough in this life

without having to eat our cooking.

[Laughing]

As some of you know, Tara
is headed to Bridgewater

to assist in Ferell's criminal trial.

We will be Lewis-less
while she makes sure

he doesn't slip through the cracks.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Ok, fam. We are heading
to Austin, Texas,

where two women have been
abducted in the past week.

The victims, Hannah Accord,
32, and Liz Meyer, 34,

were both found alive,
in their own cars,

but miles away from
where they were last seen.

Both women were badly disfigured.

The unsub left a white plastic mask

on the passenger seat
of both of their cars.

It looks like their
faces have been sliced

and abraded several times.

What's that saying, “death
by a thousand cuts”?

Lingchi. It's a form
of torture and execution

in ancient China. Knives were used

to methodically remove
portions of the body

over an extended period of time,

eventually resulting in death.

Except our unsub wants
these women alive.

Yeah. He's getting off on making
them live with their scars.

It would have taken time.

And patience, to slowly and permanently

mark these women's faces

to take away their
beauty, their identities.

The mask could be a taunt, a
cruel reminder to the victims

that they're gonna have to
spend the rest of their lives

hiding their faces.

It says here neither of the women

could remember what happened
or where they had been.

Cell phone tracking confirms
their original whereabouts,

and then goes offline
until they resurfaced.

It's hard to tell from
these initial photos,

but Hannah's injuries, though extensive,

when compared to Liz's,
seem more superficial.

I agree. Liz's wounds seem to indicate

a cleaner, steadier hand at work,

which means our unsub's
only gaining in confidence.

Yeah, and he might strike again soon.

Which is exactly why
we are wheels up in 30.

Prentiss: “When there is
pain, there are no words.

All pain is the same.”

Toni Morrison.

Hey.

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I, uh...

I went to visit my old
partner this morning.

His doctors thought he'd be paralyzed

permanently from the waist down.

Just about a year ago
he got some feeling

in his toes and he was even
able to take a few steps,

but he just is...

He's plateaued.

Phil was there for me.

Ranger school,

while we served in the 75th,

and we even came into the
Bureau at the same time.

He was my brother.

It's just tough to see
him struggling like this.

Well, the road to recovery's tough.

You and I both know that.

I'm just wishing there was
something I could do to help.

Oh, there is.

Just knowing what that is
is the real question, right?

So both victims were
women in their early 30s.

Hannah, the first victim,
is a single mom with 3 kids.

She's from Austin,

works from home as a CPA.

And she was last seen having lunch
with a friend from high school.

The friend went back to work,

but Hannah never returned home.

Her mom, who was watching
her kids, called the police.

Liz Meyer, on the other hand,
moved to Austin 6 months ago

and was last seen leaving work.

And these two women
don't know each other?

Not as far as I can see
and I can see really far.

I looked into all their
former boyfriends, girlfriends,

husbands, lovers, et cetera.

Nothing's tripping my alarms.

Then Hannah and Liz look
like victims of opportunity.

Which is odd, given
the time the unsub took

to repeatedly cut and abrade their skin.

I mean, it feels personal.

So maybe they're surrogates.

There's an element of spectacle to this,

almost like these
women aren't surrogates,

but statements.

So what's he trying to say?

I hate women?

When we land, Reid,
JJ, go to the hospital,

see what we can find out from Liz.

Luke, Matt, take Hannah
through a cognitive.

Dave and I will go to the
disposition site where Liz was found.

Austin PD is holding the scene.

Chief Foles, I'm SSA Luke Alvez,

this is SSA Matt Simmons.

Pleasure.

We got you set up in the back here.

We're still working on
pulling the traffic cam footage

of the surrounding
abduction and, uh, dis...

What'd you call it?

Disposition site. It's a term we use

for a location where
a victim is left alive.

Well, we've also looked into the masks

that were found in
Hannah and Liz's cars.

No prints, generic.

Available in costume shops and online.

I know she's been recovering at home.

Have you arranged for Hannah
Accord to come speak with us?

She's on her way in.

Thanks.

Ms. Meyer’s room is this way.

She's sedated. We needed
to clean her wounds

and she was in a lot of pain.

In the photos, it appears
as though her attacker

cut away the first dermal layer of skin.

That's correct. And
pretty consistently, too,

I might add.

The precision suggests

someone skilled with a knife,

maybe a plastic surgeon,

a butcher, a craftsman, or an artist.

Let me ask you this, what do you make

of these two puncture
wounds on her chest?

My guess is they might be darts

from a stun gun or a taser.

Could have been used to subdue her.

She report having a
metallic taste in her mouth?

Yeah, she did, actually.

Probably adrenaline.

Why? What are you thinking, Spence?

Stun gun darts tend
to have a wider radius

and leave burn marks. And if it's
all right with you, Dr. Bateman,

I'd like to order a few
additional blood tests.

Ok.

So, a PTT, an APTT, along with FDP

and creatinine kinase,
creatinine calcium, P.O. 4

and CK serum, as well
as a type and screen

and electrolytes to start with.

Agent Jareau introduced you as Dr. Reid,

but I didn't think you
were a medical doctor.

Oh, I'm not.

Ohh. Look like vomit to you?

Somebody chucked their lunch?

But Liz's tox screen came back clean.

Though she might have been sick.

That would make her vulnerable,

easier to control.

So how does he do it?

Hannah an Liz were found
in their own vehicles.

So does the unsub use his victims' cars

to abduct and transport them?

Well, let's say he does,

for convenience sake.

Does he approach them

while they're getting in the car?

Or does he force them in
using the threat of violence?

Or does he have some sort of ruse?

Well, it was a hot day.

Liz could have cracked the windows,

which gave the unsub
access where he lays in wait

to pick just the right time to strike.

Hannah, thanks for coming in.

You told the police you had
trouble remembering the attack.

That's perfectly normal.

We'd like to take you
through an enhanced interview,

something we call a cognitive.

We'll walk you through your abduction

by focusing on details
that at first might seem

innocuous or unimportant, but
they should unlock your memories.

I'll do everything I can
to help you catch him.

To stop him from hurting anyone else.

Simmons: Why don't you close your eyes.

Let's start with what you do remember.

You had lunch with a friend.

Alvez: Then you walked to your car.

What was the temperature like?

It was hot.

It's always hot. It's Texas.

My car's going to be unbearable,

even though I left the windows cracked.

Simmons: And so you got in your car.

I got in. I left the door open

so the heat could get out.

Then I started the car.

[Engine starts]

The radio came on, but I turned it off.

Alvez: And why did you turn it off?

I thought I heard
something before it came on.

Can you describe the sound?

It was a hissing sound.

Simmons: Like a mechanical hissing?

I thought it was the
radiator or something.

Alvez: Ok. What did you do next?

I don't...

I... don't remember.

Simmons: It's ok. It's fine.

Let's just take a deep breath.

Now let's close your eyes.

Now, did you put your seat belt on?

Yes.

And then I put the car in reverse...

Aah!

Oh, my god.

Aah!

Aah!

It's what I suspected. Liz's blood tests

showed signs of evenomation.

So the puncture wounds
were from a snake bite.

The quick onset of
symptoms, the mental fog,

blurred vision, muscular paralysis,

along with vomiting and a complete lack

of localized swelling and necrosis

suggests a neurotoxic
venom, maybe from a viperine

or something in the elapid family.

In fact, the shallow
puncture wounds and short bite

could indicate a bite from bitis
atropos or pseudonaja textilis.

English, kid.

The berg adder and the
eastern brown snake,

neither of which are
indigenous to North America.

Wait, isn't a bite from the
eastern brown snake fatal?

I mean, the unsub would need
to have the anti-venom on hand.

Not necessarily. The eastern brown snake

is the second-most
deadly snake in the world,

but its bites tend to
produce a relatively

low volume of venom, so though
fast-acting and debilitating,

its mortality rate is rather low.

So the unsub's ruse
is to trap his victims

in their own car with a venomous snake

and let it bite them until
they become incapacitated.

I don't know. That's
leaving a lot to chance.

This guy could have used any
number of abduction ruses.

The fact that he chose
a snake says a lot.

Ok, wait, is it even legal to own

the second-most deadly
snake in the world?

I mean, I'm hoping it isn't.

Well, most states
require you have a permit

to keep an exotic or venomous reptile.

The real question is,
what does this elaborate

abduction scenario
and the use of a snake

have to do with the
disfigurement of these women?

They overlap in the unsub's mind.

We need to figure out how and why
and we need to do that quickly.

[Whimpering, crying out]

No, no...

[Whimpering]

Aah...!

[Gasping]

Aah!

Her name is Tricia Smoots.

She was found early this morning

in a neighborhood in southeast Austin.

She has the same cuts and abrasions

as the previous two victims,

but he went further this time.

Frenulum was cut and
her tongue was forked.

Probably with a scalpel
or a razor blade.

Split tongue. Like the
snake he uses to abduct them.

Now, she can't speak
because of the swelling.

And she needs to rest,

so try and keep it short.

Listen, Smoots is a nurse.

She used to work here.

Everyone knows and loves her.

Catch this bastard.

Hi, Tricia.

I'm SSA Jennifer Jareau.

This is Dr. Spencer Reid.

We're with the FBI.

We'd like to ask you a few questions,

if that's all right.

You can write or draw.

Just tell us whatever you can remember.

Reid: “Tied down. Dizzy.”

"Like a nightmare.”"

Did your attacker say anything?

“Whispered...”

“we are now the same.”

We.

The person that attacked
you had a forked tongue, too.

We think it's possible our unsub
may also have a split tongue.

The removal of the first
dermal layer of skin

is similar to a technique
used in scarification,

which, like tongue-splitting,

is a popular form of body modification.

Yeah, but couldn't the
slicing of the tongue

just be an escalation?

It's possible, but Dr. Bateman said

the cuts were clean. No hesitation.

So this wasn't our unsub's first time.

Which suggests our unsub
is at the very least

familiar with or a part of
the body modification community.

JJ: People who engage in various forms

of modification often
do so with the intent

to reveal an aspect of themselves

that they feel has been suppressed.

The masks that he was leaving
behind with each victim,

he's exposing these women
for who they really are.

Peeling away the masks they hide behind.

Foles: And the snakes?

I mean, branding women
as evil, as serpents,

is a story as old as the Bible.

Prentiss: Not just evil but deceitful.

The snake in the garden
of Eden is a liar.

Rossi: Our unsub's
anger could be directed

at what he perceives as
hypocrisy or duplicity.

But the women he targeted

are by all accounts model citizens.

Well, maybe they represent
a specific woman in his life

that he believes has two faces.

Simmons: A public and a private persona

that are at odds with each other.

Prentiss: We need to
start from the inside...

Tattoo and body modification
artists here in Austin.

JJ: And it's likely serpent imagery

will play a part in his work.

Prentiss: You should canvass
local shops and parlors,

scour the web and social media

for artists and enthusiasts
who fit this profile.

Agent Alvez. They said
you're making progress.

They brought me back in to look
at photos of potential suspects.

That's great. Yeah. How are you feeling?

Better. My kids are coming home.

They've been staying with my mother.

I haven't seen them since the attack.

I didn't want to scare them.

But I can't hide away forever.

My little ones are counting on me.

You ok?

Yeah. I admire her resilience.

Some people surprise you.

She's probably surprised herself.

But when you've got
someone counting on you,

you find strength you
didn't know you had.

First off, I want to say

that all baby animals are cute, um,

but the thing about baby snakes is, uh,

they are the kind where
like if you thought

that hatching

or slithering

or shedding is cute,

then they are really adorable.

And a lot of people seem to think so

because the online
snake trade is booming.

And you have no idea how easy it is

to get a venomous
snake on the interwebs.

Although, from the looks of it,

only a fraction of the buyers

actually register with the state.

Well, Texas Park and
Wildlife should have records.

Of responsible serpent owners, yes,

and I'm coming through
those as we speak.

But that's not why you called me?

Now we need you to tell us all you can

about the body modification
community here in Austin.

Basically anyone who specializes

in snake imagery or tongue splitting.

Body mod. Tattoos. Roger that.

Wow. There are a ton of shops.

But you're looking for
something more specific, right?

Someone who deals with custom work,

different than, say,

that army tattoo that Simmons has

on his very toned left bicep.

Well, how about you, Garcia?

Ever go to the needle?
You got any tattoos?

I don't see why that's
relevant to this conversation.

So you do. That's interesting.

Didn't say that. And even if I did,

it wouldn't matter, whether
it said “baby girl”

or what part of my body
it's located on or whatever.

And anyway, I have an
answer to the question

that is pertinent to this case.

You gotta talk to this guy... Ryan Kash.

He has a custom shop on congress Avenue.

He specializes in tongue
splitting and scarification.

Here's his home and his work address.

[Loud music playing]

[Indistinct song playing]

Can I help you?

Hey! Stop!

Alvez: Come here!

Stay there!

Hands!

Why'd you run, Kash?

I was in trouble before.

There's a warrant out for me.

Prior drug arrests in Oklahoma.

Quite the rap sheet.

But we're not here to
talk about petty offenses.

3 women have been assaulted.

That's your specialty, isn't it?

Tongue splitting, scarification.

Admiring your handiwork?

[Laughs]

That's not me.

I would never do that.

Never do what, cut and torture 3 women?

No, no. No way.

Look at the photo.

She had a frenulum cut.

She could choke on her own tongue.

I don't do that.

Who would?

No one.

It's too dangerous.

With the additional data
from the unsub's third victim,

I was able to close in on
the unsub's comfort zone.

Now, look at this. Victim number one,

Hannah Accord, was
found on Comal Street,

just outside of a farmers market.

Victim number two, Liz Meyer’s car,

was found on Sixth
Street in downtown Austin,

and victim number 3,
Tricia Smoots, was found

in a residential area
in southeast Austin.

You guys see it?

Alvez: Yeah. Hancock Heights properties.

Reid: All 3 properties were handled by

the exact same real estate agent,

a woman named Lara Gutierrez.

That could be our connection.

The woman whose attention
our unsub is after.

- [Ring]
- Go ahead, boss.

I need everything you can find

on a woman named Lara Gutierrez.

Got it.

Kash is clean. The police
confirmed his alibi.

They're just gonna hold him until

his extradition warrant comes through.

Lara Gutierrez, 45. Single
divorced mother of two.

Ex-husband lives in Cleveland.

She has two daughters, Tina and Desi.

Ok, we need everything you can find

on Lara's ex-husband, past boyfriends,

former clients, et cetera.

I'll send you everything
I've found so far.

Penny G out.

Ok, we've said that these
attacks feel personal.

The violence and rage are deep-seated.

But we haven't theorized
what kind of stressors

would give rise to
an offender like this.

Reid: The people who alter their faces,

whether through surgery or
alternative means like this,

are often battling issues of
self-esteem and self-worth.

In fact, sometimes there's
even an underlying compulsion

to destroy a piece of them that's
tied to an early emotional trauma.

Ok, so if Lara is indeed the woman

at the center of this thread,

then it's likely she's the one

the unsub views as wearing a mask.

She's a mother, a
successful real estate agent,

but perhaps underneath all of that,

there's a side to her that the
rest of the world doesn't see.

We haven't really
talked much about gender,

but I think it makes sense

that the person we're
looking for is a woman.

Female offenders are
more likely to attack

the physical appearances or
the looks of their victims.

The venom from the snake bites

essentially incapacitated the victims,

making them easier to maneuver,

especially for somebody of
a smaller physical stature.

And there's been no
sign of sexual assault,

which is strange given the
level of rage on display.

We may be looking at a kind
of internalized misogyny,

a self-hatred, someone lashing out,

destroying the faces of their victims

because they can't stand their own.

JJ, Matt, go see if any of that

strikes a note with Kash.

Why am I still here?

A series of poor choices.

Do you know either of those women?

Oh, Kash, you really gotta
work on that poker face.

Like you're in a lot of trouble already.

I don't think you want to
add accessory after the fact

and obstruction of justice
to your list of offenses.

I got no idea who this chick is,

but this girl, Desi,

you should see what she looks like now.

Desi, hey, it's been a while.

You look different.

I got your messages. What's up?

I need you to come with me.

Look, I can't give you any more money.

Ok, I know in the past...

I don't want your money.

Ok. I'm sorry.

Look, I have some finals
I need to study for, so...

It has to be you.

She doesn't want anything to do with me.

She'll come if it's you.

What are you talking about? Who?

Desi, you're hurting me.

Aah!

Desi sought me out.

Said she liked the way I did things.

But, man, when she came
to my shop 3 years ago,

she was in bad shape.

Her family kicked her out.

She didn't know where to go.

When was the last time you saw her?

A year ago.

She left to start her own shop.

Dust & bones.

But it never got off the ground.

And I haven't seen or
heard from her since.

Agents.

We just got a report of an
abduction near Congress Avenue.

A female violently coerced
another woman into a car.

An eyewitness managed
to write down the plates.

The car belongs to Tina Gutierrez.

Matt, you and Dave check
out the abduction site.

There's more.

We haven't been able to
locate Lara Gutierrez.

If Desi Gutierrez does
have her sister Tina,

where would she take her?

And what's her end game?

I'm so glad you like it.

It's priced to sell,

and it's in an
up-and-coming neighborhood.

Go ahead. Take some more
pictures if you like.

- [Cell phone rings]
- Woman: What do you think?

Man: Nice. I like it.

If you'll excuse me, I
need to take this call.

It's my daughter.

Tina, what's going on? I'm with clients.

I am so sorry.

It's an emergency.

I need to go!

Alvez: The two sisters
are polar opposites.

Tina is 21, full-time student at UT.

Desi's 30. Dropped out of school

and even spent some time
in juvenile detention.

Sibling rivalry doesn't usually
inspire this level of sadism,

especially given the fact that the girls

are approximately 10 years apart in age.

Austin child protective services
has a file on Desi Gutierrez.

Her mother Lara, who was 15
when she gave birth to Desi,

was ordered to take parenting classes

after Desi made some
pretty troubling accusations

against her mother.

Neglect and emotional abuse.

It was just Desi and her
mother for about 10 years.

After that, Lara gave
birth to her second daughter

and seemed to turn her life around.

But by then, the
damage was already done.

Why are you doing this?

Did Mom ever send you
out back for punishment?

Probably not.

You were always the perfect one.

But me, I got banished to the shed

almost every day.

It was cramped and hot.

Full of spiders.

You know what else was in that shed?

Snakes.

All kinds.

And they'd slither, hiss,

and climb all around me.

Hours would pass,

and they never bit me.

Not once.

They were curious about me.

Gave me more attention than anyone else.

Some snakes don't bite.

They just wrap themselves around you

and squeeze.

Please, please don't do this.

Please.

Are you afraid of me, Tina?

I'm not afraid.

I'm not.

[Laughing]

You're a bad liar.

Just like Mom.

You've got your perfect hair

and your perfect face
and your perfect life.

But deep down,

you and I are the same.

Aah!

Tina?!

Oh, my god.

Desi, what are you doing?

What's happened to you?

Mom, run! Get out!

You make one move and I'll cut her.

Great work.

According to Garcia, two weeks ago, Lara

was named Austin real
estate agent of the year

by the local paper.

Two weeks ago?

That could have been Desi's trigger.

In the lengthy interview,

Lara talks about her rise to the top

and how proud she is
of her daughter Tina.

Desi is not mentioned
in the article at all.

Oh, wow. Purposeful or not,

that would have cut right
to the core of Desi's rage.

Desi's been leaving her victims

on her mother's doorsteps,
so it stands to reason

that one of her mother's properties

would probably play a
part in Desi's end game.

All right, these were just faxed over.

It's every property Lara's
ever been in charge of,

going back almost 15 years.

We should focus on sites
that have been on the market

for an extended period
of time or abandoned.

Didn't Kash say that Desi left
to start her own tattoo shop?

It never opened, but
what if out of guilt,

Lara handled that for her?

I've got commercial properties here

and there's a tattoo parlor.

These two are promising.

Ok, we'll split up, cover more ground.

What have you thought of my work?

Sweetie...

I know I didn't do things right,

and I've tried, sweetie,

I've tried to make it up to you.

I gave you money. I got you this shop!

You said you wish I was never born!

That I was an ugly little girl,

inside and out.

Well...

Here I am, Mom.

You were right.

I'm a monster.

No, you're not.

You're not.

You put me in that shed
every day and you knew!

You knew there were snakes in there.

And I was terrified.

That I was alone.

Want to see how innocent she is?

[Whimpering]

If she's like me...

If she's worthy...

If she's honest...

Then she won't be bitten.

[Crying]

Let's see how good you really are, Tina.

- Lara: Don't do this!
- Tina: Aah!

Desi's desire to see her mother
pay for her past mistakes

will drive her.
We can use that to our advantage.

Dave, Spence, when you land,
Austin PD should already

be on scene with a team
from parks and wildlife.

Got it. But just a reminder...

Desi's an experienced snake owner,

so it's likely she'll have
snakes on the premises.

[Shallow breathing]

We've got work to do.

Because I may be a monster,

but so are you.

Desi.

Desi.

[Crying]

You're sick.

You need help.

I... I'm sorry.

Is that what you want to hear?

Say it again.

I am sorry.

You were a child,

and I was selfish and angry.

And I did everything wrong.

I'd do anything to go
back and treat you better.

There's no going back.

Open your mouth.

[Brakes squealing]

Open it now!

No, Desi.

No.

Desi.

Oh! Oh! No!

FBI!

[Gasping]

Desi, drop the knife.

Just put it down

and we can all walk out of here.

You don't know what she did to me.

Alvez: We do, all right?

We know about the neglect and the abuse.

I was so scared.

I tried so hard to erase any sign of her

from my life.

And there she is,

on the front page.

They think she's perfect.

The perfect woman, the perfect mother!

They don't know what she's capable of.

What I'm capable of.

We know.

I also know if you surrender

and we walk out of here,

then everyone else will know, too.

She'll have to live with that.

Isn't that what you want,

for your mom to have to live

with the shame and the humiliation

of all of this?

[Crying]

JJ: Desi.

Aah!

Lara: Desi! Desi, wait!

Stay with me.

FBI! Don't move!

On your knees.

Now!

Drop the blade.

Do it!

Aah!

That is one takedown I am glad I missed.

I will drink to that.

Salud.

Salud.

JJ: Hey, Spence, you gonna join us?

Ooh, I'd love to, but my
first lecture is tomorrow.

Did you figure out what you're
gonna do for your buddy Phil?

Yeah, I been thinking about it a lot.

You know, Phil doesn't have much family,

except an uncle that
still lives in the Bronx.

But I'm sort of it
in the way of support.

That's when it hit me.

Ha ha! Hey, dinner's not till Friday.

What are you doing here?

I know you've been
struggling with your recovery,

and I, uh, I think I know why.

After I got back from Iraq,

I faced some struggles of my own.

And if it hadn't been for Roxy
I don't know where I'd be.

You are obsessed with that dog, man.
You need help.

I needed something to live for.

Someone to push me.

So, in that spirit. I...

Now?

- And in that spirit...
- Yeah, ok.

Now this little puppy
is gonna need a lot of love.

And some walks.

Better get busy getting better.

- Hi.
- Hi.

This is Lou.

Hi Lou. Ow.
Are you gonna be my buddy?

You gonna be my little boy?

Ow. [LAUGHS]

Lou's gonna be my buddy.

Thank you, brother.

Alvez: “remember, we are
our own griefs, my dear.”

Thank you, man.

Alvez: “we are our own happinesses.

And we are our own remedies.”
