"Sasha, I just want to reiterate how thankful I am to you for letting my family and I just walk into your life and your home the way we have," he says and hesitates, "But I haven't been... entirely honest with you."

Picture of heem weeth thees Carmine Falcone. Een background I see the twin, Jack. I know eets heem because he ees identical to doctor twin een Chicago.

"No he wasn't," Jester speaks, "he abandoned me at the hospital because he didn't want two babies at once."

J's fingertips run down his forearm where the cigarette burn scars used to be, "You're both better off having never known him," he says softly. Then he draws in a breath and looks at Sasha, "So you knew that day in the liquor store who I was?"
