Leary.
Actually, it's agent Leary.
Special Agent Roger Bingham.
This is Andrew Stess.
Ah, it's nice to meet you, agent Stess.
I heard you're on here 30 seconds before the bullet started flying, and you were the one that jumped on the kid.
Lucky time, I guess.
I guess you gonna won a medal.
Actually I was just doing my job.
Meaning we weren't? Listen, Freud, it's bad enough Davis thinks someone in the department is leaking safe house location.
We don't need him riding us because some outsider did our job.
You wanna be a hero? Go and do it on somebody else's watch.
- Jarod, what are you still doing here? - Mr.
Davis.
Starting to sigh which word comes with worse: the ambush last night or Bingham and Stess.
Look, we're all under a lot of pressure.
Unless that crab-louse testifies what he saw because drug dealer will sell the rest drugs away.
What's all these? Nickie was traumatized by what he witnessed.
These can help open him up and bring him out of silence.
The kid watch Emilio Vasquez execute one of our best DEA agents and detectives.
Men of Vasquez hit him and tried to kill him.
And you think a damn slinky is gonna help him talk? Well, it's not that simplistic.
You see studies have shown if you take a child which has been¡­ Listen, not personal.
Doc.
But between you and me, give you damn about your studies.
You've got two days to make the kid talk, after that I'll do it in my way.
Angelo has been moved.
Do you know anything about that, Miss Parker? Are you talking to me? Exactly one hour after he was moved, I was notified I'm under Tower review.
As we speak, they've set cleaners scour in my personal files, my office, everything.
I'm crying on the inside.
If you sessions don't happen without a directive.
If I find out you are behind this You'll what? Throw me in front of another T-board? What secrets are you protecting, Dr.
Raines? The same ones as my mother found? The ones that got her killed? Maybe they'll get Angelo to talk.
Or is it Timmy? Nickie, I think we will be safe in here.
Thanks.
Hi, Carla.
Hi.
Hi, Nikkie.
Wow, these are great toys.
This, my friend, is my own personal special toys.
You certain can play with whatever you want.
I've got a Mr.
Potato Head, a Magic 8-ball And this is my personal favorite.
You know, I've never seen a shrink wear a gun before.
Well, by definition I am a psychological reconstructionist.
I use memory and emotion to unlock the truth when somebody is suffering from post traumatic stress.
Can you give me back my son? That's the idea.
Carla, in order for me to rebuild his memories, I have to reconstruct the events of what happened that day.
Yeah.
I worked as a nurse.
I had a few hours before my shift started so I decided to take Nickie and Charlie to the Laundromat.
Charlie? It's Nickie's cat.
I put Nickie in the chair, gave him some chocolate milk.
I turned to load the machine, and I started talking to another woman.
I lost track of time.
And later I heard this poping sound that was coming from behind the building.
I turned around.
Nickie was gone.
What happened next? I paniced.
And I ran outside behind the Laundromat.
and I saw a man lying there in the alley.
Where was Nickie? He was gone.
I have looked everywhere for him, while the other woman, she called the police.
I warned Nickie never to go out by himself.
But it's cat Charlie that was going out.
And he went to find him.
I was talking to one of the cops That's where we found him.
Nickie.
Oh, little guy.
He had been trapped under the body for a long time.
And he hasn't said a word since then.
Can you imagine that kind of fear? It must have been terrible.
Willie.
Einnad, no.
Hey.
''Corrupt DEA Agent Killed in Drug Deal Gone Bad'' I don't think the kid is telling us that Emilio Vasquez shot Agent Cruz.
It takes time.
Sometimes it takes good swat in the ass.
I'll bet Bingham can match the 6 in the next lottery than this kid Vasquez is the shooter.
Don't jink me.
The lottery is of the thirty million.
You are ruining Washington as you boys started that Cruz was dirty that he wasn't trying to bust Vasquez, he was selling to him and then he was using the seizure warehouse as one personal drug store.
Rumors are just rumors.
That little boy here is the only one that knows the truth.
And hopefully before Vasquez find his silence for good, you'll start playing with all your little toys in here and get him to speak.
And what would you suggest I do? An interrogation? Something scared the kid silent.
I'm damn sure we can scare him to talk.
Hey, Nickie.
I've got a treat for you.
Chocolate milk.
Now, I've heard about this powder.
It's somehow dramatic composition of milk, right? You've never had chocolate milk? It wasn't allowed where I grew up.
Wow, can you believe that, Nickie? Nickie, Can I try? Jarod, I have been shot! Don't you worry, Carla.
I'll take care of Nickie.
I want the leak sealed.
If that means every agent takes a polygraph, then do it.
I don't trust anybody around here.
Nickie.
Your mum is going to be fine, as soon as the doctor takes a look at it.
In the meantime, would you like to go with me to check out your new place? Do you think maybe she needs a safe place? You can trust me, Nickie.
Would you mind if I put something in here too? She is my mum.
I always keep her close.
Will you take care of her for me? There.
And Nickie.
After a while, it won'e be so bad.
and you will feel strong enough to put the hurt in the safe place.
This house sits on a myth of tunnels.
There is just oneway in or out.
Why would anybody build something like this? Paranoia.
People with everything always is afraid somebody is going to take it away.
You must be right.
Listen up, people.
And this house has been built on series of tunnels.
Each tunnel connects four sections of this estate, with entries and exits, both within the house, and underground like these drainage vent here in the driveway.
I want every access point secured.
Let's get to work! Get me a real doctor.
Who attacked you? I don't know.
I'm trying to help you here.
Willie, Let's go.
No problem, Mr.
Raines.
He's hiding something.
delirious from the anaesthesia, he kept repeating the same thing over and over.
Name Einnad mean anything to either of you? Einnad? A disgruntled ex-employee? Possible but those injuries aren't random.
The attacker slashed this into Raines' arm.
One fifty-five That's the room at SL-27 where Raines used to run his experiments.
Judging from the violence, Einnad may have been one of those experiments.
Do you think my mother was trying to save Einnad too? I know she's dying trying to stop Raines.
Possible.
What the hell was he trying to make out of him? Blake? Jackson? Where the hell are you? Nickie.
Nickie, where are you? Nickie, I know you were scared.
I'm not buying your little silent acting.
You look at me when I talk to you! Tell me what you saw! Stess.
Not now.
I need to show you something.
Hey.
Wait in your room, I'll be there in a second.
the little boy the wrong way again his mother won't be only in the hospital! Your way isn't working.
It just isn't your assignment to deal with.
Vasquez is personal.
The way I see you another bully by nature.
I don't think it's innocent little boy's silence is eating you alive.
You shrink.
What the hell is going on here? Just a free therapy session.
No reference to Einnad in the mainfraim.
But I found out it's a Welsh name.
It means ''life'' or ''spirit''.
That's useful.
I need to know who Einnad is.
And why he attacked Raines.
Are you sure you want to look with Raines? This tactic against your mother.
I am not my mother.
Broots.
Oh, please don't ask me to search Raines' office again, right Relax your back side.
(Loosen the buttocks.
) I have a better idea.
Hi.
What're you doing? Which isn't looked too good.
Maybe I can fix her.
Want me to try? Here.
Now she's all better.
Can I play? Come here! Oh, I missed you so much! I missed you, too.
You spoke! He spoke.
I heard it.
''DEA Special Agent Decorated in Drug Bust'' ''DEA Agent's Brother Dies of Overdose'' ''Drugs Tied to Vasquez Cartel'' Well, you surprised me, agent Stess.
How's that? I never would guess you would be a decorated officer.
What the hell are you doing with my file? Oh, let's see.
Decorated in 93.
But every year since then, you have been on disciplinary review.
Access of force, questionable investigated techniques.
In clinical terms, agent Stess, you're losing it.
- I've ventured about enough of you.
- Your brother worshiped you, didn't he? But unfortunately, his addiction got the best of him.
And maybe he was just trying to live up to you.
Or maybe he was just overdid on purpose for the attention.
I could kill you! Save your anger for Vasquez.
It was his operation that sold your little brother the heroine that killed him.
Look, I know, you miss your little brother.
You're so hurt and you're so angry that you can't see straight.
I need your help.
Help me bring down Cruz's killer.
Help me save that little boy's life.
What's Marmaduke up to this week? Ah, Oh, I haven't got to Marmaduke.
That was a quick butt.
Since when does Willie smoke? I got it.
I got it! It was gasoline everywhere.
He was trying to torch this place.
- Question is why? - He was trying to cover Raines' tracks.
- What tracks? - It is written all over the walls.
Einnad.
Look at this! It belonged to a Daniel Hilton Minor, Davidson Psychiatric Hospital.
That's a surprise! Another fun house.
Where are the mirrors, Syd? Miss Parker.
All of these prescribed in D.
H.
Minor by Dr.
Williams.
Some of these go back 20 years.
WilliamsAs in William Raines.
How about this wallpaper though? Excessive.
- Methodical.
- And raw.
Strange way of spelling Einnad, wouldn't you say? But it's not what he's writing.
The answer's in the mirror.
D.
A.
N.
N.
I.
E.
Dannie.
Who is Dannie? Hey.
Check this out.
So the mass banking account of Cruz is going to check out? Look at the last transaction.
Five hundred thousand on April 9.
The day after Cruz was murdered.
How much heroin did you say was missing from the seizure warehouse? Half a million.
There is no name on the account.
Just a reference number.
Hey, how did you get out of your You couldn't sleep, huh? Is everything safe in there? Nickie.
Do you remember this man? Is this the man from the alley? Nickie.
It's ok.
I want you go back to bed.
If Vasquez is the murderer, how come his photograph didn'r traumatize Nickie.
You know, maybe all your slinky stuff is working.
Maybe we are just not seeing the whole picture.
Jarod has been silent for thirty-six hours.
However he is showing signs of illucidity.
Attempting to sketch an image over and over.
This woman without a face.
I have decided to intervene.
Can you tell me who she is? I cannot see her.
Who, Jarod? I cannot remember.
I cannot remember any more.
is this your mother? I cannot remember.
She's gone.
She's gone, Sydney.
She's gone.
Our boy Einnad is actually Daniel Hilton Minor, One of the Center study groups in the late sixties.
His file ends in 1982.
- Right after the fire in SL 27.
- That's right.
Once Raines lost in 155, he has no place to work.
So he took it elsewhere.
Preliminary diagnosis: Mild Depression.
What a crock! A mild depression can always be amplified.
- Brainwave manipulation? - Um, hum.
Whatever Dannie's initial treatment, the outcome warrant drugs prescribed in increasing dosages.
Let's talk to Raines: You got a headache, lobotomies.
And the perfectly treatable becomes the society identity disorder.
Multiple personalities.
Two of them we've known: Dannie and Einnad.
Looking in the mirror can be comforting to someone's suffering from the ID.
The mirror reflects the image of a unified self.
My mother couldn't save him.
She tried it, Miss Parker.
She tried it.
But Raines got in the way.
Charlie.
Look what I've found.
Do you know what this is? That's a very very nice hat.
And who are you? Mummy! Oh, hello, mummy.
It's ok.
I'm here to help you and Nickie.
You have a cat, don't you? Charlie.
Charlie.
I bet Charlie loved to play in the alley.
It that what happened the day in the laundromat? I found him.
Ok, you found him.
And then a man came up, right? Two men? I was in the boxes.
No one can see me.
But you can see them.
These men Did they look like they came from Mexico? One of the men? And the other man? Jackpot! Mr.
Jackpot was with the other man? They both had suitcases? And then they swithed them.
And that's when that happened.
Another man came.
Agent Cruz.
What happened next, Nickie? They got really mad and Mr.
Jackpot pulled out a gun.
He shot the other man! Then he felt on me.
And I was scared, I couldn't move.
Jarod.
Bingham.
Then the policemen came and your mummy came, and you are ok? Can't you remember, honey? Agent Bingham came with the others when mummy was talking to the police, and he was talking to you.
He took me away.
Kid.
You tell anyone this is your mummy.
Any progress? Nothing.
The transfer's gonna happen tomorrow at eight thirty.
Why? Dr.
Shrink's time's up.
They want the kid over to official headquarters.
What have we got? Social divided identity disorder with both personalities are compelled to cover at living space, even if it's within the same home.
So far, we've only found Einnad's space.
We didn't find Dannie's.
Anyone ever tell you you are not a duck? Duck? Alticationly.
Hey, we are running out of time.
Nail this kid.
And 5 Kg will be waiting in the alley, south Columbia Avenue.
Run heroin from the locker.
And they are going to transport the kid tomorrow night.
They'll come in van.
Here is the address.
I want you to make sure that transport never leave No problem.
This better be primo junk, or I swear you'll end up like Cruz.
I checked all the doors.
There are nothing.
It's not doors, it's walls.
Make him stop.
Kill, Kill me, please! Kill me and he'll stop.
I am not there to hurt you, Dannie.
Manhole cover It's time to move.
Good luck.
Thanks.
I don't know about you, but it's going to be cold damn June before we'll see the kid again! I'll call I'll take a drive around the perimeter.
- Are you ok? - Good as paranoia! What will we do now? We get the bad guy.
Jarod.
Don't look so shocked.
I couldn't resist about the explosion.
I had to see what a little boy's life was worth to you.
What is it? Five kg? Ten? These guys, they think Nickie is dead.
And Vasquez is going to want his heroin pronto.
I'm going to have to kill you.
Like you killed Cruz? But before you pull the trigger, right, strongly suggest you to check out your primo junk.
Chocolate.
Somehow I don't think these guys are the chocolate milk type.
What is the matter, Roger? Cat got your tongue? Imagine how Nickie felt.
He witnessed a brutal murder, as a dead body fell on top of him.
Do you have any idea what that kind of fear can do to a child? And then when it's all over, you threaten to kill his mother if he talks.
Well, he's talking now.
He's telling Davis all about how you deal drugs, how you killed Cruz.
- You've got nothing on me.
- Come on, Roger.
Admit it.
I can stop these guys.
I have got the real stuff right here.
Ok, I killed Cruz.
- Give me the case.
- At your service.
You got milk? Do you feel nicely? Where did you get that? Handball.
The Tower review has been given new evidence.
Something about my extracurricular activities.
You should hire better people.
- Smoke? - No.
You remind me of someone I used to know Someone who looked exactly like you.
I am not my mother.
Do not make the mistake of forgetting that.
We should all be careful of the mistakes we make, shouldn't we? I've just spoke with the hospital.
Dannie has been transferred.
He's now my patient.
Why would Raines have created something like him? Maybe he was trying to make his own little assassin, but he backfired.
Only God knows.
God and the Center.
When Dannie attacked me, my instinct was to kill him.
But when I looked at him, he's begging me to shoot him.
I saw someone who might have had a chance, if The Centre hadn't gotten its claws into him.
You saw yourself.
Looks like Vasquez and Bingham will be going away for a long time.
Think you know a guy and find out you don't really know him at all.
Tell me about it! Hey.
Thank you for keeping her safe.
I have something for you too.
Charlie, you came home! So did you, Nickie.
So did you.
This is Sydney.
Do you think it's possible to forget all the terrible things that happen to us when we were young? Forget? Oh, no.
But I believe we can make use of them to make ourselves stronger.
I try to be strong.
But sometimes all I see is darkness, fragments of who I am.
Will I ever feel whole? I do not know, Jarod.
I hope so.
Me too.
