A courier delivers a box to the station that has a hand in it and they find out it belongs to the priest.

The phone that has been redirected to the station rings and Malcolm talks to Paul again. He's mad about the victim Malcolm found and he wants Malcolm to stay out of his way. He still suggests that Malcolm has done bad things and mentions the girl in the box.

Malcolm needs air after the confirmation that the girl in the box was real. Gil comes out to check in with him, and Malcolm decides to go for a walk. He sees Paul and follows him.
