Katie is laying in the bed, asleep when Ray arrives home. He stumbles through the kitchen, pour himself a big glass of whiskey and drinks it in one sip. He continues to stumble up to the bedroom.

Sits down on the bed next to Katie. He stokes her arm, she winces suddenly. She feels his presence, he smells of liquor.
,,It's okay, it's just me."-Ray reassures her.
,,Ray, it's so late, where have you been?"-she asks and sits up in the bed.
Up to this point she didn't see Ray but now that her vision adjusts to the darkness, she notices something on Ray's face. She tries to brush it away but it sticks to her hand. Takes her a few seconds to realise that it's blood.
,,Raymond, what the hell happened?"-she says now fully awake.
Before he could answer the question, Katie takes his hands and leads him back to the kitchen. Opens a cabinet and takes a first aid kit out. She starts to wash away the blood from his forehead.
,,Katie stop."-Ray says faintly. And he raises his hand to his forehead to stop her.

Katie notices his fist is also wounded. She cannot put together a picture of what could have happened to him. But she can see in his eyes how hurt he is.
,,Ray, what happened?"-she asks seriously and takes his hand into hers.
,,We almost had him. I fucked up."-he responds finally, almost whispering.
,,Chen?"-Katie asks the followup question.
,,Yes, and it was my fault that he got away."-he answers faintly.
Katie continues to clean up his fist, he places his head on her shoulder. Putting his full weight on her. She understands how he's feeling, she knows how much he loves his work and how he loves to be good at it. He can't really allow himself to fuck up because Mickey's fortune is on the line.
She finishes cleaning and bandaging Ray's wounds. She notices a message on her phone.
