were wearing reindeer masks.

Garrison was someone who worked with Yvette in Del Rio.
But he also knew the younger me
from before, from San Antonio.
He was my ex.
But we weren't
a couple who went mini golfing.
We were a couple of 18-year-olds
we would knock back 30 racks
before the streetlights came on.
So he was your messy ex.
Everybody has one.
And he paints. Okay, good for him.
But what I can't understand is why you...
I kept it from you?No.
Why you lied and why you kept lying.
He wasn't just my ex.
He was my fiancé.
You were engaged?
Did you know he was in Del Rio when you went down there?
No. No, I-I thought he was dead
until he stepped out of the car with Serano.
And for hours, I...
I had him.
Hey, Mick, please.
You can trust me.
[inhales sharply]
I had him...
and then he slipped.
Right out of my hands.
He just slipped.
You ever have the...
fork-in-the-road moment
where you shake up fate?
I lost Garrison the first time because I couldn't save him.
So I left. And then, losing him again
just forced me to...
reexamine that fork.
I don't even know who I am anymore.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Mick.
[crying]Hey, look at me.
Mick,
I'm sorry that you went through that,
and I'm even more sorry that I wasn't there
to help you through that.
You are now, I hope.

There was a pretty brazen robbery
this morning just down the road a spell.Huh?
What's that got to do with us?
Well, this file right here suggests
that Boyd "Hot Rod" McNeil is a prolific hijacker.
Might know a thing or two about, uh,

You're a bit young. You don't fit the profile.

Dan Miller lives in Austin now.
Well, I hate to do your job for you, Ranger,

He is right here in Thalia,
