auction the other day,

You seemed...

a bit ragged, and now you...

I apologize for the mess.

In case you change your mind.

Hello.

Miss Jordan,

it's Raif Collins.

Please don't hang up.

I just --

I just wanted to apologize for

the way I acted the other night.

No. You know what?

If anyone should be

apologizing, it's me.

Well, that may be, but,

That's not why I'm

calling.

Would you consider getting

together with me again?

There's something I'd

like you to see.

Come in!

Hey.

Hey.

Can I get you anything?

No. I'm fine.

Look. I just wanted

you to know,

I started making preparations

for paying you back.

I'm sure you have.

I'm not very worried

about it.

This is nice.

Yeah. We do alright, eh?

Who's "We"?

That's why I wanted you

to come over tonight.

There's somebody I want

you to meet.

This is my sister.

Christina.

I'm sure she'd say hi, but...

she hasn't really been

able to...

... talk for some time now.

The doctors haven't --

Haven't been any help.

They just keep telling me...

"any day now", or,

"It won't be long now", but,

I haven't given up hope.

She has her good days.

Every now and again

she comes around.

I'm not even...

I'm not really sure if she

knows who I am anymore.

I have a nurse...

... that stays here with

her during the week.

So she doesn't feel so...

... alone.

I just wanted you to understand why

I blew up at you the other night.

That's all.

I thought it was the

money this whole time.

If I had known that it was --

I know. I know.

After Christine's health

declined,

I began researching alternative

methods of treatment.

Most were worthless, but,

One was pretty interesting.

The Romans believed that

The soul escaped the body

with the last breath.

Sometimes they would

preserve it in bottles,

Or a family member would inhale

it at the moment of death.

That's breath capture.

You've heard of it?

Yeah. This new age store

that I went to,

Was selling these little charms

that you could breathe into,

And give em to someone.

I mean, it's bullshit.

I mean I thought

it was bullshit...

until I found this.

I found an article that he

wrote in a medical journal.

Where he just goes...

on, and on, and on

about how...

breath capture would

save millions of lives.

There's just no proof that

he ever actually did it.

Except for you.

At least now we know it

would've worked on Christine.

I know I said this,

But I really want you to

know how sorry I am.

Listen... I'll make you a deal.

There could be more of

these vials out there.

Or maybe the key to how

Kaminsky made it work.

With your connections, you're in a

much better position than I am to --

To find em.
