The next morning she walks on the flat and Pete runs the hills. On his way back he sees a man with a rifle that is pointed at Carol. Pete is a veteran and uses hand-to-hand combat to disable the man and take his weapon. The man is a serial killer. He begins to notice that Carol is distant and she has headaches. He gets her to a neurologist who determines that she has an isolated brain tumor and recommends that she has a cyber surgery procedure. She does and the tumor is resolved. Carol becomes distant again and isn’t too responsive. He manages to get her to another physician who determines she has cancer and is need of hospice. There is morphine in the house and Carol overdoses on the medication. Pete attends an art show where he meets a woman named Diane Coppens.
