Visions of a ghost-soldier draw
Draven to a bridge overpass, where he discovers his own half-brother
Chris being terrorized by a group of thugs. Always in trouble,
Draven doesnt believe Chriss story about mistaken
identity. Ultimately, Chris reveals that on a tip from an old
prison cellmate, he stole money belonging to an underworld figure,
Bovespa.
Draven tries to get Chris to
come clean, but unresolved issues from their past complicate
his efforts. Chriss lifelong pattern of running from responsibility
stems from feeling abandoned by his father, also Dravens
stepfather, who is appearing to Draven as the ghost soldier.
Listed as MIA in Vietnam, conflicting reports from the Saigon
evacuation led Chris to believe his father returned to the States
and disappeared, abandoning his sons. Unable to trust or believe
in anything, Chris again tries to take the easy way out and is
nearly killed by Bovespa, but is saved by the Crow.
Touching his fathers dogtags,
Draven enables Chris to empathically experience his fathers
heroism, and learn the truth about his final days. Knowing the
truth of their fathers love, Draven and Chris ultimately
put aside the enmity that has separated them as adults.
Also in this episode, Albrecht
realizes Capshaw suffers from posttraumatic stress as a result
of being shot. When she vows to quit before submitting to counseling,
Albrecht nails the real issue: Capshaw is terrified of confronting
her fear over the incident. Battling her denial, Albrecht tells
Capshaw that this fear will ruin her life if she runs instead
of facing it. Finally, she schedules and keeps
her first therapy appointment. |
