00:00I'm not an old timer. You're confusing age with experience.
00:30B.
00:31How'd it have been closed?
00:32He doesn't even carry an off-duty case.
00:34I'm sorry, how did I not know that?
00:36I'm still getting used to carrying a loaded weapon on the job.
00:39I don't know that I could handle packing heat in my real life.
00:46I don't know. Sergeant Gray is sitting over there with his wife.
00:49He's coming over here.
00:50Oh, man.
00:55Hey!
00:56Small world?
00:57Too small right now.
00:59You know, for 19 years, my wife and I have gone out on February 13th.
01:03Why the 13th, you ask?
01:05Because the 14th Valentine's Day is for amateurs.
01:08The 13th is calm and relaxed.
01:11It's easy to find the table.
01:13There's no overpriced, pre-fixed meals.
01:15It's just me and my lovely bride.
01:18Good food, a warm conversation.
01:20A place where I can not think about the job for a little while.
01:24Sounds nice.
01:25Yes, sir.
01:26It is.
01:27This is why on my special night, I don't want to see your faces.
01:31So by the time I walk back to my table, you will be gone.
01:34Am I clear?
01:35Crystal.
01:36Light ghost.
01:37Have a good evening.
01:38Okay.
01:39Shall we?

01:41Okay, everything all right?
01:42Yeah, it's fine.
01:43To us?
01:44To us.
01:45What's taking so long?
01:46I'm fine.
01:47Hey, can we get her a drink?
01:48Get off me.
01:49Come on.
01:50Let's go.
01:51She needs help.
01:52You heard great.
01:53Let's go get her a drink.
01:54Let's take it so long.
01:55Miss, are you all right?
01:56He bought me a drink I don't want and he's not taking no for an answer.
01:57Tell me to go alone.
01:58It's your own girl.
01:59This one's mine.
02:00All I'm saying is that the house is going to be empty soon and we can do whatever we
02:18want.
02:19Well, it's not going to be empty.
02:21I mean, Dominique will be coming home from college.
02:23And that home can be anywhere.
02:25Will you just think about it?

02:59We're having a little trouble delivering your Valentine's order of two dozen roses for
03:02your wife.
03:03Oh!
03:04Uh, Dave, yeah, I actually won't be needing that delivery this year.

03:16I mean, hell, your standing order is as old as my shop.
03:1920 years.
03:20Yeah, yeah, it was hard, but, um, uh, it's for the best.
03:24You know?
03:25People change.
03:26That's just human nature.
03:27It's easy to feel like you failed, but the truth is, at the end of the day, we raised
03:30a great kid.
03:31I don't have to tell you, Dave.
03:32I know you have kids.
03:35Dave?
03:36Sorry.

03:39So, what would you like to do with the flowers?

14:09admit all your sins to your therapist i already have the whole point is to make amends with the
14:15people that i've hurt and i hurt you most of all and telling me about all the horrible things you did
14:22is going to make it better no but only through honesty can you learn to trust me again is about
14:30you you didn't do those things because you're a bad person and you did them because you're a drug addict
14:36and addicts lie they cheat steal they betray everyone around them it's hardwired into their dna
14:43so are you saying you can never trust me again because i'll always be an addict

22:24no it's not a big deal
22:37You haven't said a word for an hour.
23:04You're allowed to be angry with me.
23:06You're supposed to be.
23:08I deserve it.
23:10I don't want to be angry.
23:14I just want my wife back.
23:18But I can't have that.
23:23You know, for the last year, everyone's told me to just give up on you.
23:29To let you go, because you were gone anyway.
23:35But I couldn't do it.
23:36I couldn't do it.
23:39I mean, what kind of husband would I be if I left you when you were lost?
23:47But you're not lost anymore.
23:49And I will always be a reminder of your lowest point.
23:54Of that shame you felt when you put that needle in your arm.
23:56So as long as we're together, you're never going to be able to move forward.
24:05This is the end.
24:17Look, I should, uh, I should get on the road.
24:33You're doing great here.
24:46Hey, um, thank you.
24:55For what?
24:56For never giving up on me.
25:01Ready to go?
25:17Yeah.
25:17Just looking for a next of kin for Mr. Scott.
25:20Guy led quite a life.
25:23Lived all over, but was an only child.
25:25Never married her.
25:29You okay?
25:31Yeah.
25:34Good thing I didn't get him a gift.
25:36Who?
25:37Wesley?
25:38Why?
25:39I think I misread our relationship.
25:40Hey, just the two I was looking for.
25:43So, something weird came up in connection to the dispatch call that I sent you on earlier.
25:48The old guy who was attacked.
25:50What about him?
25:51Well, I was compiling a list of the day's dispatches.
25:53Totally not my favorite part of the job, by the way.
25:55And something just popped out at me.
25:58There was an attempted abduction right by where your attack victim was found.
26:02The woman fought off her attacker and the guy just bled.
26:05Could be that's who slammed into Mr. Scott.
26:07Did the woman leave a description of the guy?
26:09She just said he was Caucasian male, strong.
26:12Thanks, Nell.
26:13Sure.
26:14And our only other potential witness has dementia.
26:17Can't remember what the guy looked like.
26:18Let's go try and jog his memory.
26:25Hey, what are you doing out of bed?
26:28I need to go home.
26:29My mother made dinner.
26:30Sir, do you know where you are?
26:32Yeah.
26:33Yeah, I'm in the hospital.
26:34I just had my appendix out.
26:36I'm guessing that was a long time ago.
26:37Okay, let's get you back in bed.
26:40Hey, can you help us?
26:42Sure.
26:43Mr. Scott, you need to get back in bed.
26:46Doctor's orders, okay?
26:49Okay.
26:51There you go.
26:54Do we need to come back?
26:56Oh, no.
26:57No.
26:57He's okay.
26:58Aren't you, Mr. Scott?
26:59Yeah, yeah.
27:00Yeah, yeah.
27:01No worries.
27:02I'm Officer Lopez.
27:05Do you remember me from earlier?
27:07Yeah, I think so.
27:09You're in the hospital because you were assaulted.
27:12Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
27:14Yeah, that's why my head hurts.
27:16Exactly.
27:17Yeah, I think the person who assaulted you attacked someone else beforehand.
27:20But you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
27:22Do you remember being assaulted earlier today?
27:26Huh.
27:26I remember being knocked down, and I think he hit me, too.
27:31Yeah, he said that.
27:32Is there anything else you can tell us about him?
27:36He was tall.
27:39He was white.
27:44His hair was long, I think.
27:46I'm sorry.
27:56That's all I got.
27:57It's okay.
27:58That's more than we had before.
27:59Try and get some rest.
28:01Is she all right?
28:03The woman he attacked?
28:05From what I hear, yes.
28:10That's good.
28:12That's good.
28:16Son of a bitch.
28:19What?
28:21He asked if she was all right.
28:23But you never said the other victim was a woman.
28:25He's the one who attacked her.
28:31He's got dementia.
28:33It was diagnosed three years ago.
28:35Doesn't mean you couldn't have tried to abduct that woman.
28:37He hits his head as he's escaping.
28:39Someone finds him, disorients it, takes him to the hospital.
28:42And he's too out of it to object.
28:44He just has to play along.
28:45Makes up a story by getting attacked.
28:47Or maybe he really did forget about it,
28:48and he's just trying to fill in the blanks in his memory.
28:51Iso, what do we do?
28:54I'm going back to the station to mobilize major crimes.
28:57They'll get a warrant for his DNA
28:58and check it against the woman who was attacked.
29:00You stay here, make sure he doesn't go anywhere.
29:03Do you really think he could have done it?
29:05He seems so lost.
29:07Getting sick doesn't make you a saint.
29:09Hey, ready?
29:18I guess so.
29:20Don't act so excited.
29:22You think it's weird that we're the only ones
29:24going to your anti-Valentine's Day thing?
29:25It's only as weird as we let it be.
29:27Besides, I'm sure other people will meet us there.
29:29Ah, Officer Lopez.
29:30Have you reconsidered about joining us this evening?
29:32No chance.
29:33We're still working the case,
29:34which means Jackson won't be there.
29:35It's going to be fun, not weird, fun.
29:38Where are the flowers for?
29:39Oh, they came in for Talia.
29:41From who?
29:41None of your business.
29:42None of my business.
29:43Should I go find her?
29:44No, I'll do it.
29:47These came for you.
29:55Okay, thanks.
29:57They look expensive.
30:00What's your point?
30:02I thought you broke things off with him.
30:05It's complicated.
30:07He went back to his wife?
30:11Yes?
30:12Then it's simple.
30:13He's married, not separated, and you're done.
30:19Officer Lopez, detectives looked into your hospital, Vic.
30:23Am I right about him trying to abduct that woman?
30:25It's much bigger than that.
30:26When they looked into his background,
30:27they got hits on several attacks
30:28on similar women spanning over three decades.
30:31Over a dozen unsolved cases,
30:32some of them homicides.
30:33I think he may have found a serial killer.
30:35Was the dementia just a cover?
30:37Not necessarily.
30:38He went dormant after his first diagnosis.
30:40So what, he like forgot he liked to kill women?
30:42I don't know.
30:43It's possible today was a good memory day
30:44where he got his taste back.
30:47FBI's sending somebody from Quantico.
30:49Major Crimes is sending a mobilizing team
30:50to question him tonight.
30:52You sure you got him scored away?
30:53Yes, Officer West is with him.
30:55Go make sure.
30:55I'm sorry.
31:24Oh, thanks.
31:32Mr. Scott?
31:34Kevin?
31:47Put it on the corner.
31:49Right?
31:49Yeah.
31:50I thought you were going to invite a bunch of people.
31:54I did.
31:54It could still come.
31:57Well, I found a date.
31:59I met her at the store where I went to buy the wine.
32:01You were going 20 minutes.
32:02I know.
32:03Apparently, I still got it.
32:05Oh, that might just be her.
32:07Coming.
32:10Very nice.
32:11Okay.
32:13She's going to be out here knowing him.
32:14It's going to be very expensive.
32:16Hey, guys.
32:18I want you to meet Denise.
32:22Oh, my God.
32:24What a small world.
32:34All right, Mr. Scott.
32:36It's time for your...
32:38Me, too.
32:43She's crazy.
32:44She's in pain and trying to cope with the loss of her husband.
32:47By stalking you?
32:48It's a cry for help.
32:50Hey.
32:51She seems nice, right?
32:52Yeah.
32:53So here's the thing.
32:55She's actually just using you to get to me because I saved her life earlier,
32:58and now she's transferring the feelings she had for her late husband onto me.
33:03Okay.
33:03Then you might not want her wandering around your house.
33:10I really don't.
33:11I should go find her.
33:12Where's Kevin?
33:33I don't know.
33:33Are you okay?
33:36He has my weapon.
33:38Stay here.
33:39Make sure he's all right.
