"Thank you."[Frankie and Gia go upstairs after we hear the doors shut Jay comes downstairs he says:]

"Hey. You're safe here. I'll put your car in the back garage."

"I don't know how I got here."

"All that matters is that you got out."

"Erin there's something wrong with my husband and it's making him hurt me. The man that I married is fading away and is being replaced with this cold hearted abusive person. I still have to get Rafi."

"I'll take care of it. You go get some sleep."

"I can't sleep."

"Do I have your permission to tell Hank?"

"Yea but he has to promise not to hurt Ethan."

"Okay."[I call Hank he answers:]
