AMANI: Why'd you Photoshop her in here?
DAMIEN: I didn't Photoshop her. She just appeared in them.
She must've been working on some kind of religious story.
These killings will stop now,
even if I have to slit your throat to make them.
Good meeting? You have that look.
I have to celebrate.
There any good bars around here?
Wait, I... hey.
In the last few days, you've been in close proximity
to a number of... unexplained deaths?
[GRUNTING] Hey! No! No! No!
I may not be able to prove it,
but I know you're responsible for those deaths.
Out of the way!
Uhh! Aah!
No! Mommy!
You saved my son without even thinking. Thank you.
His father's in the Army, got injured in Iraq.
We were on our way back from the VA hospital.
DAMIEN: There's always been something,
like a dark cloud, hanging over me.

Right. Uh, yes, he was, uh, injured in Iraq.
Uh, how's your boy? How's Tiago?
Uh, he's fine physically.
But falling on the tracks really shook him up.

War was easy compared to this.
No matter how surreal it got,
no matter how the rules broke down...
I knew how to handle it.
But this?
At least you got Claudia and Tiago.
That must keep you going.
This is killing them, too.
Claudia can't keep a job.
She's on all kinds of anti-anxiety pills, can't sleep.
Tiago's having his own issues.
Debts are piling up. We're losing our house.
Well, Veterans Affairs... are they no help?
My family would've been better off if I were killed over there.
Hey, listen, don't say that.
I know you're angry. I get it. I would be, too.
But... right now you have to focus on getting healthy,
getting your life back.
I'm ending it.
What?
It's my only choice.
It's the... it's the best thing to do for everyone.
But you have a wife and... and kid.
In a few years, when I'm just skin and bones,
can't move, can't care for myself,
maybe she'd consider ending my suffering.
But right now it's... it's the elephant in the room.
You have a young son. He needs you.
I-I get it. It seems helpless,
like you're staring down a long, dark tunnel,
like you're alone. You're not.
You've survived so much already.
There's... there's a black market here.
Employees lift stuff from the pharmacy... morphine.
Plus, another guy... he did himself in a few weeks ago.
Plus, I've been stashing my painkillers.
I want you to photograph it.
Absolutely not.
You... you know how many vets take their own lives?
Yeah, of course I know.
The war... the war doesn't end over there.
People think that they can get by
with a "thank you for your service."
I will publish these pictures this week.
I will get your story out.
Someone will help.
There's no help coming.
You know that.
I can't.
I've seen too much death. I've had it all around me.
I came here today because I can't handle it anymore.
I did not come here to assist a suicide.
You're a war photographer, aren't you?

What, you think Damien has something to do
with Kelly's death, don't you?
- [EXHALES DEEPLY] - Look, you gotta be real careful.
You start throwing around accusations like that,
you could ruin someone's life.
No one can disprove a negative.
Right? And he's tore up about the whole thing.
He's actually talking to someone about it now.
He's been miserable.
Do you remember that old woman in Damascus?
He even Photoshopped her into old family photos.
He needs our help, not our suspicion.
Do you have those photos?
Oh, they're in his apartment.
The old woman, she says all that Latin stuff.
And... and all of Kelly's religious notes?
This could mean something.
Just forget it.
Do you wanna go grab a bite to eat or something?
No. That's all right. I can't. I'm sorry.
