-Previously on "Devil in Silver"...

-I was protecting people. My girlfriend and her kid.

-Pepper, they're cops!

-Is this a hospital?

-This is better than jail, I promise.

-You in the jungle, baby.

-I'm so sorry. I don't know where I could have lost them.

-You knocked me out for four fucking days.

-What happens with him now?

-He'll be held for two weeks.

-You're looking for a way out?

-He was trapped here.

And now you are, too.

-What is that? -You'll find out.

Two weeks? Miss Chris: Sit down.

No, no, no, no, no, I'm not staying here for two weeks.

Listen, I'm four grand in the hole.

I gotta make it up to Marisol. She...

Look, the only way I can make it up

is if I am out there working.

Sit down.

Two weeks.

Doctor's orders.

Not up for discussion. Understand?

No.

No, I-I don't understand at all.

Well, the policeman brought you in here.

You're supposed to stay for three days,

but you cause problems, you don't comply.

How am I supposed to comply?

I am the one talking now, not you.

And then you assault Dr. Anand.

I let him go.

You're lucky it's only two weeks.

And from now on, you mind your space.
