two. To recap:
** When Rose is hospitalized, he promises to visit her daily. Fish lives an hour and a half away, and is also busy with a job and college classes. That does not stop him from making the three-hour round trip every day for ''months'' to keep that promise.
** Despite his plate already being pretty full, he decides to pick up her investigation into hospital abuse because it's what she would have wanted. Then, once he gets the suspicion that her coma [[HeKnowsTooMuch was no accident]], the investigation becomes a full-on crusade for him to get justice for her.
** The NoHoldsBarredBeatdown [[MadeOfIron he endures during the climax]].
