Hannibal Park Hospital
A vet - Patches Pasternak - storms out of a group therapy session. He starts to hear the sounds of war - a French song, the sounds of mortars exploding. Escaping into the psych ward, he actual feels like he is back at war, and is confronted by a figure carrying a long spear. When he asks "Who are you?" the figure answers: "Destiny" and kills Patches.

In the backyard, John and MAry are sparring when Carlos calls them inside - he and Lata have found a case .
