- I was hired to kill you... The man looked at Eames. But as he expected, she didn't blink, her eyes showing no reaction. But I wouldn't.
The man at the beginning...
It was said that it was only an impression...
Looking at the Eames' look.
But he soon realized...
That the woman who had been dropped off...
Was none other than blind.
What would be the point of killing her...
She would never be able to recognize her keeper...
Nor the one who had kidnapped her.
Why hadn't she been told that she couldn't see?
Besides...
Was it really useful to get rid of her.
He didn't like having blood on his fingers.
And doing that to a blind person...
It was like doing it behind her back.
It was unhealthy.
Damn it...
What had she done to make Walter Regan hate her so much...
To the point of wanting to kill her.
So many unanswered questions.
Eames felt his anguish diminish.
So this man wouldn't hurt her...
Could she really believe him...
After all that had happened to her.
This man who had kidnapped her from her home...
And who had given her to this man.
Seeing nothing...
She didn't even know where she could be.
How could anyone find her.
And she couldn't even try to escape...
It was lost in advance.
Damn it...
She wished Bobby was here...
- Boom.
There was a loud noise, and the door of the apartment opened...
Revealing a dozen policemen...
One of them particularly taller than the others, and pointing his gun at the keeper of Eames.
- Alex...
At this voice, Eames felt his heart racing.
Wasn't she dreaming.
Was it really him...
And yet...
- Go take care of Eames... Logan went towards the man, the weapon in his hand. I'll take care of Rodrigo Mendez.
At Logan's voice...
She knew she hadn't been dreaming.
It was Goren she had heard.
- Bobby...
Goren holstered his gun, and rushed to Eames, detached her.
- I'm here. Gently, he helped Eames to his feet. You have nothing...
Eames shook his head in denial.
Goren had found him...
He was there.
That was all that mattered.
She moved her hands forward, and met Goren's shirt.
She clung to him, rested her head against his chest.
Eames needed her strength...
To feel its smell.
With gentleness, he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugged her gently against him.
- It's over Alex...
Logan cuffed Mendez, shoved him, and turned his attention to Goren and Eames.
Damn it...
The scene before his eyes spoke volumes...
And the other policemen who did not let them out of their sight.
He coughed...
But neither of them seemed to hear him.
He turned his attention back to Mendez, and shoved him ruthlessly towards two policemen.
- Embark the...
At Logan's command, Eames thought he might have to plead the man's case.
After all, Rodrigo Mendez had not hurt him...
And wasn't planning to hurt him.
- Don't hurt him.
At Eames' shout, Goren looked at her as if forbidden.
Had he heard right...
Eames wanted them to be nice to Mendez...
When Rodrigo Mendez had detained her.
She wasn't serious.
Had she taken a blow to the head.
Eames felt Goren tense up.
She searched for his arm with her hands, and when she reached it, she put her fingers on it.
- He didn't hurt me.
Could it really be possible...
He had his doubts...
Especially when you know who hired him.
- It's true what she says... Rodrigo Mendez looked at Eames. I would never kill a blind woman.
At her words, Goren's heart sank.
Did he always have to remind Eames of his disability?
Eames tightened the pressure of his fingers on his arm.
- It's nothing...
What the hell...
Eames understood what he was thinking.
But why...
Did she not care what people said to her...
Whereas he...
Goren had just made a decision...
And he wouldn't back down.
He couldn't let things go on like this.
Rodrigo Mendez may have had qualms about going after Eames.
But others...
They wouldn't have his scruples.
- I'm not taking you back to your father...
At his words, Eames' heart beat with hope.
- Logan...
At the deep intonation of Goren's voice, he turned to Goren.
Goren motioned for him to come closer.
Logan walked towards Goren...
And arrived at its height, Goren leaned towards him, and whispered something in his ear, that only he could hear.
What was this low mass...
And what did Goren have in mind...
What he was up to...
- You will tell Alex's father his words... Logan nodded. And for the rest...
Goren only trusted Logan...
And he knew that with him...
The secret of his destination would be well kept.
Until Walter Regan was arrested...
He couldn't leave Alex in New York.
- And now...
Gently, he pulled Eames by the arm, forcing her to follow him. I'll take you somewhere where no one will think to look for you.
