Therapeutic, anti-depressant.

- News to me.

- I stand before you, living proof.

You put the NYPD on gumbo twice a week,

and you're out of business.

Why don't you give that a good stir

and then we'll bring in the rice.

Useless knife. I'll have to get another.

It's lovely.

Who gave it to you?

I found it.

Really? Here. Show it to Dennis.

- What's this?

- My shell.

- It's your shell, is it?

- Yep.

You seem pretty sure about that.

It's a beautiful piece of work.

Have you seen this?

Yes.

You still got that thing, Chris?

That's his wishing shell.

What do you suppose

you could make out of this?

I don't know.

What about a necklace?

That's the day we went to Osage.

The reservation. Remember that?

- Remember that?

- And the day I got Chief Black Cloud.

That's right.

And Dennis bought me the arrowheads.

God. Got a memory like an elephant.

There's Mom.

She looked so pretty.

That was a very happy day, wasn't it?

My prize pupil.

In anthropology?

I always thought one day,

she'd be teaching me.

Look at that face.

That was the day

we went to visit the Ojibwa. Remember?

About 40 degrees below zero.

They had fires inside the tent.

It must have been 70 degrees below,

with the wind chill.

It was quite a day, wasn't it?

I'm sorry.

I remember taking those pictures.

That was the last time

we were all together.

Oh, my.

How does Chris seem to you?

Does he seem all right?

- He's a remarkable little boy.

- I think he's doing all right, actually.

Thanks.

The kitchen all fixed up, Dr. Jamison.

Thank you, Carmen.

- Hasta maana.

- Hasta maana.

- Buenas noches.

- Buenas noches.

We've got to stay back here.

Sorry, you can't get through here.

- Where is he?

- He's inside.

- Lopez call this in?

- He did.

- Where is he?

- Behind the screen. We can't get near him.

Keeps asking for you.

- What do you got?

- We got a dead kid.

I want you to understand that! Brujera.

How old is he?

He looks to be about 9 years old.

He's only a kid.

There's so much blood. Look at the ashes.

They're right around where the body was.

Jesus Christ almighty.

Just get McTaggert here, that's all.

Don't you come any closer, all right?

Don't do it. Quit f***ing around with me!

Nobody's f***ing around with you.

Did you call this in?

- Yes, Lieutenant.

- What's the problem?

Jesus Christ,

did you see what they did to that kid?

I saw. What do you know about it?

- They took my badge.

- Who took your badge?

Who took it, Tom?

You don't know what they could do to me.

You did a good job, now we're here.

Let us have it.

We'll go to the station and make a report.

No!

You can't stop them.

You can't do anything.

You don't understand anything.
