(After finally finishing what he started working on before the mansion was attacked, ECKS makes a phone call to his contact in town to see when he can come by to fix the windows.)
ECKS: "Hey Rob, this is Chris. I need to ask a huge favor of you. Seems that someone thought it'd be funny to knock out all my front windows and I need to get'em fixed as soon as possible. You think you can take care of it for me?"
(There's a pause while ECKS listens to Rob.)
ECKS: "Yeah, money is no object. I was even thinkin' of maybe gettin' some a that new safety glass this time. Yeah the extra think stuff."
(Another pause.)
ECKS: "Money isn't an object I just need it done. Ok. Yeah, I'll be here. Thanks Rob, I owe you one."
(He hangs the phone up and sits for a minute. Then he grabs the original photo of Ana, the one from the prom. He just takes a minute to look at it and think of everything that's gone on in the last few days. Finding Ana and bringing her home first on his mind.)

(Ana walks in and startles ECKS. A little embarrassed he quickly tries to hide the picture by putting it back in his drawer. But Ana notices.)
Ana: "What was that, Chris? Something you don't want me to see?"
(She walks over and stands beside him.)

ECKS: "Nothing, it was nothing. I just... Who'm I kiddin,' I can't fool you. It was the last picture we took together."
(He takes the picture out from the drawer and hands it to her. She takes it from him and takes a look.)

(Ana nearly loses her breath as she looks at the photo, memories flooding back to her all at once. A single tear rolls down her soft cheek as she holds it close to her.)
Ana: "I haven't seen this in so long. You kept this all these years? I can't believe you still have this. That's really... I don't know what to say."
(She wipes the tear away and looks at ECKS.)

(ECKS reaches over and grabs a tissue from the box on his desk. He hands it to Ana.)
ECKS: "I had to keep it. It was all I had left of you, of us. That picture reminded me every time I'd see it of how much I cared about you. It was what drove me to find you. It was the only thing left that kept me goin' all this time.' Without that, I'd hate to imagine where I'd be now."

Ana: "Well I'm glad you kept it then. It brought you back to me. Took you a little long, though. Another month and I woulda just given up altogether."
(She jokingly smiles at ECKS as she hands him the picture.)

ECKS: (also joking)"Hey if you prefer I can always take you back up there and drop you off. Let me just get my jacket right quick."

Ana: "Oh no, this place is so much better. I don't think I'll ever wanna go anywhere else ever again. I love this place. So much more to look at than the miles and miles of snow that I'm used to."

ECKS: "Had a feelin' you'd see it my way. I always was the smart one."
(Playfully, Ana slaps ECKS on the shoulder.)
ECKS: "Careful, careful. You know how fragile I am."
(The two of them share a laugh at that one.)

(Liz turns to face Starr.)
Liz: Ve found him in anabandoned church. He probably only ate vas he could find out of the trash. And even then, I highly doubt that he ate much when he did find food. He ist very religious. He ist probably fasting alot to better himself. I fast once a month of two days, but nothing more.
