00:00What are you doing here?
00:19I just want to see how you're doing.
00:21Never better.
00:24Right.
00:25Now if I come in, maybe we can talk.
00:26I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:28So?
00:30Why do you care all of a sudden?
00:32I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:38And I'm ashamed.
00:39My mama, she taught me how to be the bigger man, and I fell down.
00:44I heard you've been trying to make amends with people, and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:51With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
00:55Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:17Oh, God, I hope not.
01:18What?
01:19I don't think so.
01:24I found the bacon.
01:26Fake bacon.
01:26Great.
01:29You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:31After work?
01:33Mm-hmm.
01:33I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:35And by finish, I mean start.
01:37Oh, well, I'm...
01:38Sorry.
01:38Sorry.
01:39I think we're making progress, you know?
01:45Living in takes time.
01:46It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:48I moved constantly when I was in the Army.
01:51Here's what I learned.
01:52If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:55If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:58Damn, we're well past that.
01:59I'm aware.
02:00This is killing you, isn't it?
02:03I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:07Okay.
02:12I'm sorry.
02:13It's just...
02:14It won't feel like you've fully moved in until all the boxes are gone.
02:20That's nice.
02:22Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back and fix later.
02:26So, trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:34Okay.
02:38Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep, you know?
02:42So, I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:45Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place to sleep.
02:50You don't understand that.
02:52All right.
02:53Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:55Oh, okay.
02:56Face the camera.
02:59Stand still.
03:01To your right.
03:03I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
03:06And I'm sorry.
03:08I just got really desperate for...
03:10Am I going to jail or...?
03:14You know, you're probably going to side out in just a couple of hours.
03:17Okie dokie.
03:19Is there any food?
03:21Just...
03:22I haven't eaten in a while.
03:23Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break real quick.
03:26All right.
03:27I appreciate that.
03:32I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:36Oh, I can't help with that.
03:37No.
03:37Hey, no, no, no.
03:38That's...
03:39That's okay.
03:39You don't have to do that.
03:40Uh, it's no problem.
03:42You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:44Trust me.
03:45You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:50I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over and...
03:55Yeah.
03:56Insisted on cleaning.
03:57That's okay.
03:57You're not my mom.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59I can...
04:01I knew that myself.
04:03What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
04:09After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:11You know, I couldn't play football again, so why bother?
04:14Professionally.
04:15You can never do it again professionally.
04:17Right.
04:18It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:21I, like, I majored in physical...
04:22Can you please just shut up?
04:23You hurt your knee.
04:24I lost my leg.
04:26I'm not saying it's the same.
04:28Yes, you are.
04:29Miles, you didn't go to the NFL.
04:32You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:34But you can still run.
04:36What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:40Okay.
04:48I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:03I didn't mean anything by that.
05:05You're right.
05:06I don't know what you're going through.
05:10But I want to.
05:11So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:19Oh, no.
05:20What?
05:22Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:25Oh, yeah, that's not great.
05:27But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:30No.
05:30Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:32If Wesley remembers everything and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:36that means...
05:37It means it was a test and I failed.
05:39Wow.
05:41What?
05:50Nolan.
05:55Yeah, what's up?
05:56You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra King?
05:58Well, that's the name he gave me.
06:00He didn't have any idea, though.
06:02There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:05A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:08Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:11They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial site.
06:14All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:18Until I ran Ezra King's.
06:20Yeah.
06:20The victims were the Poston family, Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:29They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:32The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night, killed
06:36the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:39Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:43So what do we have on our suspect?
06:44With literally nothing.
06:45He says his name is Ezra King.
06:47That could be an alias.
06:49I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:52He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:54Any ID?
06:54No.
06:55He had a little bit of cash on him and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
06:59I haven't run them yet.
07:00We can assume they're stolen.
07:01Any in the name of the murdered family?
07:03No.
07:04So how do you want to handle this?
07:05We have a window here.
07:09He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
07:11He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
07:14And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
07:18So you should do the interview.
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:22Right.
07:24Okay.
07:30Any advice?
07:32I mean, you read him his rights.
07:33Yeah, but not for this.
07:34That doesn't matter.
07:35As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney, anything you get in your questioning,
07:39it's admissible.
07:40Nicky is not to push.
07:41Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:45Okay?
07:45The second that he suspects that you are onto the murders, he's going to bail.
07:48Got it?
07:49Got it.
07:52Um, can someone track down a sandwich, give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:56Smart.
07:56Can do.
07:57Okay.
07:58Remember, go easy.
07:59The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
08:02Understood.
08:02Right, but not too easy, because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with
08:06kid gloves.
08:07Just Goldilocks, this thing.
08:08Mm-hmm.
08:08Yeah.
08:09Hey, sorry to keep your weight.
08:30Sorry, I thought you said I was going to side out?
08:34Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things,
08:40credit cards that do not belong to you.
08:42Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time.
08:46You know, like, along the way, people drop them, people throw them out by accident, and
08:51I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:55I just, I get so hungry.
08:57No, I get it, but I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to
09:02the TA's office.
09:03Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:08Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
09:10Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with
09:14me.
09:15No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:18Okay.
09:19Well, let's get started.
09:22Uh, I'm sorry.
09:23I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol and not a
09:30fancy detective.
09:32Don't get me wrong.
09:33I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some fascinating
09:39people.
09:40Like me.
09:41Yes.
09:42We'll see.
09:44Okay.
09:44Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security
09:51number or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity, and if you want the
09:56DA's office to play nice, that is not going to fly.
09:59Would you believe I don't know the first and I don't have the second?
10:03No.
10:03Yeah.
10:04I didn't get the best start in life.
10:06Didn't know dad.
10:08Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:10I, if I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:15Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade, and at some point somebody just
10:22picked a birthday for me, and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
10:27What, what, what was it?
10:28I think it's like January 6th of 82 or maybe 83, and...
10:33Okay.
10:34Yeah.
10:34And where are you born in Los Angeles?
10:38No.
10:38Were you?
10:40You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:42Oh.
10:43East Coast.
10:44Pennsylvania.
10:45Right.
10:45That, that makes more sense.
10:46I'm from Idaho.
10:48I've got to say growing up in Idaho is pretty hard.
10:51Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
10:55I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:57Last name, Kane with a K, first name Ezra.
11:01Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
11:07Thanks.
11:08The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:10Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could
11:16just warm up a little bit.
11:17When was that?
11:20I'm sorry.
11:20I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:23Yeah.
11:24No, listen, we're getting there.
11:25Um, establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA, but if you are in a hurry,
11:33I can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:35No, no need to be like that.
11:37I, I, yeah.
11:38Um, I just, I'm not used to people taking an interest and I guess, uh, it's just not easy
11:46stuff to talk about.
11:49All right.
11:51Excuse me.
11:55Ah, Jen, thank you very much.
11:57Got to do something more substantive to eat.
11:59Great.
12:01Okay.
12:03Let's get to the credit cards.
12:05Yeah?
12:07Great.
12:07Thanks.
12:08We have for the credit card records.
12:15All right.
12:15Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:18One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premier Motel.
12:22That dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
12:25Hot damn.
12:28It's everyone's worst nightmare.
12:30Waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your house.
12:34Yeah.
12:34And yet, it's statistically the least likely way to get murdered by a psychopath.
12:39I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:42Is there a problem?
12:43Hi.
12:45Have you seen this man?
12:48Room 216.
12:50So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
12:52Not that we should have, but, you know, just with my sister's case and everything, I think you've been all up in my trauma.
13:00And, you know what?
13:03I'm sorry.
13:03I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:05All right.
13:05Listen, it's fine.
13:06It's natural to be curious.
13:07I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma, so...
13:11Copy.
13:16Police!
13:20Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
13:26Clear.
13:37There's nowhere for you to go.
13:39Come out.
13:43All right.
13:44Step out.
13:45No.
13:46You need to go.
13:47Yeah.
13:48We're not going to do that.
13:49Come out of the tub, please.
13:51I'm fine.
13:53He's going to come back.
13:55You have to go.
13:58He's going to come back.
14:00You...
14:00You have to go.
14:03You have to go.
14:05Please.
14:06Is your name Samantha?
14:07Please, just...
14:11Samantha.
14:13Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
14:16He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:17I promise.
14:24It is not fair.
14:26I came clean to everyone.
14:27I've confessed every lie, every sin.
14:30And nobody's forgiven me for anything that I've done.
14:34Half the people that I called, they hang up on me.
14:37My dad, my dad won't even take my calls.
14:41You really haven't changed, though.
14:43Excuse me?
14:43You're doing the same thing you always have.
14:45You're not considering anyone else's experience.
14:48You lied to everyone about almost everything, over and over again.
14:54Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
14:58What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
15:01It's going to take a lot more than an apology to her to fix that.
15:04I suck.
15:07I get it.
15:09Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
15:12I'll see you never.
15:13Thanks for breakfast.
15:13Get out of here.
15:14My parents.
15:21You have to call my parents.
15:22You have to tell them that I'm okay.
15:25Yeah, of course.
15:26The doctors will take good care of you.
15:28Please.
15:33She doesn't know they're dead.
15:35I mean, he kept her isolated.
15:37She only knows what he told her.
15:38Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
15:39I wasn't thinking.
15:40Hey, look, it was instinct, all right?
15:43Try not to beat yourself up.
15:44She's in shock.
15:45This wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
15:46It'll be fine.
15:54You haven't eaten much.
15:55Problem with the sandwich?
15:56No, no, this is great.
15:57I'm just, you know what it is?
15:58I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:00Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
16:04Sorry to interrupt.
16:05Can I steal you for a sec?
16:07Of course.
16:07Excuse me.
16:08Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston inside Ezra's motel room.
16:15Is she, uh...
16:16She's alive and in no immediate medical danger.
16:20But beyond that...
16:21Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
16:23Not yet.
16:23There's still room for you to squeeze in before everything comes out into the open.
16:26Go back in there and turn up the heat.
16:28Tell them we found a few recent charges on the various cards.
16:31Mention the motel, but not like we've gone there or even that we will.
16:34And let's just see what happens.
16:38Right.
16:41This changes the profile, doesn't it?
16:44He kept that girl for three years.
16:46That...
16:47He's not just a murderer.
16:49No.
16:50He's worse.
16:50Sorry about that.
17:00Yeah, everything okay?
17:03I'm gonna be straight with you, Ezra.
17:05We ran those credit cards.
17:07And we found some recent charges.
17:09One of them being to a motel in Tytown.
17:13Well, hold on.
17:15When was the motel, uh, booked?
17:17Because...
17:18That wasn't me.
17:19Yeah, I mean...
17:19Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
17:25So you're telling me if I went to this motel with your photograph, you would not be recognized?
17:30Absolutely not.
17:31No.
17:31I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
17:35I mean, surely the LAPD has better things to do than spend resources on a wobbler that's 100% gonna plead out.
17:45Call him my bluff.
17:46Look, I know I've got a job to do.
17:49I'm just a guy trying to make his way in an unfair world without hurting anyone.
17:59Can you explain something for me?
18:02Why didn't she wait?
18:02Yeah.
18:03I mean, I know what they taught us in the academy, but...
18:05I mean, he left her alone for at least 12 hours.
18:09It's the opposite of fight or flight.
18:10You know, it's freeze and appease.
18:12You saw how scared she was of him.
18:14That level of fear, it's her primary motivator.
18:17It'll be her only one.
18:21Hey.
18:22I'm sorry.
18:23I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives conduct a more formal interview.
18:30Okay.
18:31Okay.
18:39I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been,
18:43so I'm not gonna assume that you remember anything, all right?
18:46The man who took you, we have him in custody.
18:49Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
18:51Is that how you name him?
18:51I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:53Who said that?
18:54Him?
18:56Yeah, I get it.
18:57Samantha, you're safe now.
19:01You are.
19:01You are.
19:06Did you talk to my parents?
19:08Are they coming?
19:09Samantha, I'm very sorry, but, um, your parents are deceased.
19:18No.
19:19No.
19:20I'm so sorry.
19:20No, what, what happened to them?
19:22Did he kill them?
19:23No.
19:23No, they're alive.
19:25He said they, they have to be alive.
19:28He said that...
19:29Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
19:32Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
19:41Yeah.
19:43Eamon.
19:44He made me call him Eamon.
19:47The seventh spirit.
19:50Marquis of hell.
19:51Who commands 40 legions.
19:57Including...
19:59The police.
20:02And he said...
20:04That I was his soulmate.
20:07None of that is true.
20:08Especially the police part.
20:10But it doesn't make any of that less terrifying.
20:15Do you remember the night that he took you?
20:17No.
20:17No.
20:21The screams woke me up.
20:25I thought it was the TV.
20:27So I went out into the hall.
20:29Just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
20:35And there...
20:37There was this...
20:41Smell in the air.
20:43And it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
20:47So I called out.
20:51And that's when he stepped into the hall.
20:57I couldn't really see him.
21:01But I just...
21:03I knew...
21:06In my body...
21:08That he was evil.
21:12Does that sound crazy?
21:14No.
21:16No.
21:17Where did he take you?
21:22A cabin in the woods.
21:24Or at least it used to be.
21:26I mean, I don't think anyone had lived there for years, but...
21:32That was my home.
21:35For the next eight months.
21:37Do you remember why you guys moved?
21:40Winter came.
21:41He has this thing about being cold.
21:44And by then...
21:45By then he knew I wasn't going to run.
21:50Okay.
21:53I think I have what I need for now.
21:55I'm going to let you get some rest, okay?
21:57Well, he bought a car after we got to L.A.
22:04I don't know if that matters.
22:06Yeah, no.
22:07It sure does.
22:08Do you remember what kind of car it was?
22:09Um, it was old, four doors, black.
22:15So he would have taken that car when he left the motel then?
22:18Yeah.
22:19Did he tell you where he was going?
22:20No.
22:21He just said that he may be a while.
22:24And, uh, that he would punish me if I wasn't a bad girl.
22:35Did he say something else, Samantha?
22:41He said he was getting ready for after.
22:44After?
22:45After what?
22:45I thought he meant...
22:49I thought he meant after me.
22:53You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
22:58And part of me was really relieved.
23:03Because...
23:03Because at least it would finally be over.
23:06You felt like he was getting ready to kill you.
23:36Hey.
23:41Scott's in the motel.
23:42Lucy called.
23:43She interviewed Samantha.
23:44Our guy's got a car.
23:45Make and model?
23:46Black four-door sedan.
23:47Old.
23:48That's not particularly helpful.
23:49Find any trophies in the room?
23:51Uh, not yet.
23:51I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
23:55But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
23:58Freaked you out?
23:59This I gotta see.
23:59Yeah, hold on.
24:06Yeah, that's not okay.
24:10Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
24:13Oh, yeah.
24:14No, that's not okay.
24:15No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
24:18Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon.
24:20One of the marquees of hell.
24:22Everything okay?
24:29Yeah.
24:32I was wrong.
24:34This is taking too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel.
24:40Why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
24:44Oh, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
24:51Fingerprints.
25:00Credit where credit's due.
25:04You've got that, aw, shucks, every man cop thing down pat, and I bought it.
25:08For too long.
25:09That's on me.
25:10But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror
25:15that are just dying to get in here.
25:18Little pigs.
25:22Little pigs.
25:24Get your asses in here.
25:26I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:29I'm ready for the main course.
25:33There they are.
25:36You must be the prosecutor.
25:38Wesley Evers.
25:38I'm Detective Lopez.
25:40This is Detective Harper.
25:41Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Eamon?
25:46Someone's been talking out of school.
25:48I'm going to readvise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
25:53Not necessary yet.
25:54I'll let you know.
25:55Can I have a moment?
25:56Yeah.
25:58What?
25:59No goodbye.
26:00Goodbye.
26:05I'm going to go check out the rec center where I found him.
26:08Something isn't heading up.
26:09Agreed.
26:09But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him that might
26:14not have translated to us through the window?
26:17Yeah.
26:18When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real.
26:21You want to get him unsettled?
26:22Crank the AC.
26:23Love it.
26:24Hey, janitor locked up just after 10 last night.
26:32The place was empty after that.
26:33Well, this place is huge.
26:35There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
26:39All right.
26:41This is about where I saw him.
26:43He heard me coming, and then he took off that way through those doors.
26:46Got it.
27:01Car key.
27:03I must have ditched it when he heard me coming.
27:05So what hit?
27:06One reason I ditched the key is so you didn't find the car.
27:08Well, why?
27:09I don't know.
27:10Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
27:13I scrubbed body cam, I scrubbed dash cam, no black sedan.
27:17Whoa.
27:17I got blood.
27:19There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed him.
27:24Right there.
27:25Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
27:29Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:31That's it.
27:34Oh, your disbelief in my truth,
27:38it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's all that matters.
27:43Yeah, that won't last.
27:44You don't control her anymore.
27:45Hmm, how little you know.
27:47I'm going to be with her until the day she dies,
27:49which was going to be today.
27:53You know why?
27:55It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
28:01Nolan.
28:01I have found a new soulmate.
28:13He's got another girl.
28:16All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m.
28:20after she failed to come home from a friend's house.
28:22According to her parents,
28:23she was back and forth between the two homes all the time,
28:25and her route took her right past the rec center.
28:27Sounds like he'd been watching her for a while,
28:29planning the perfect time and place to make his move.
28:31If the suspect's car was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning,
28:35Ezra must have left and came back.
28:36Why would he do that?
28:37My best guess is that he left something at the scene,
28:40most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:42He only realized it after he'd left,
28:44but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to the abduction.
28:47But with a wounded girl in the trunk,
28:49he was faced with a problem.
28:50It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
28:53But that would have put him at a greater risk
28:55because if Julie was conscious and screaming her head off,
28:58it would draw a lot of attention.
28:59So he parked the car somewhere else,
29:00somewhere no one could hear her screaming.
29:02Went back on foot.
29:03Right, but how far would he be comfortable walking?
29:0610 minutes, 20.
29:08The average walking pace of a healthy male
29:10is probably 2 1⁄2, 3 miles an hour.
29:13Any faster might draw him wanted attention.
29:14Okay, so to be safe,
29:16let's say 3 1⁄2 miles per hour for a 20-minute walk.
29:19Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
29:23It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene
29:25that she was badly wounded.
29:26She was left on her own somewhere over 8 hours ago.
29:29Every further minute that passes
29:31reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
29:36Where's Julie Reed?
29:38Oh, is that her name?
29:39No, because we were never properly introduced.
29:41Can you please turn the A.C. off?
29:45It's like a freezer in here.
29:46No problem.
29:47Just as soon as you tell us where she is.
29:49Hmm.
29:50You think I would trade my comfort for her?
29:53After all you've seen of my sacrifice.
29:55No, no, I guess not.
29:57But what would you trade for her?
29:59Now, that's an interesting question.
30:01Let's see.
30:02I would say a reduced sentence,
30:05but we all know that would be a hollow promise.
30:08After all that I've done,
30:10hmm,
30:11I would love to say a proper goodbye
30:13to fair Samantha.
30:15Not a chance in hell.
30:16That is a non-starter.
30:17There is no way
30:18we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
30:21I don't think you have a choice.
30:22I think you kind of have to ask her.
30:23No, we don't.
30:24Oh, yeah, no.
30:25I think, I think Samantha would disagree.
30:27Think about it.
30:27How is Samantha going to feel
30:30when Julie dies before you tell her
30:33and Samantha realizes
30:34she could have saved that poor girl?
30:37Huh.
30:38How about this?
30:39Let's give this a shot.
30:40Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place.
30:44And if she just talks to me for one more minute,
30:47I will tell you where that is.
30:49Sorry to interrupt.
30:57I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
30:59Wait, did something happen?
31:01No, no, no.
31:01I just need her for a second.
31:03I'll be just outside, okay?
31:04I'm right here.
31:04All right.
31:08Ezra took another girl
31:09before he was arrested.
31:11He says he'll tell us where she is
31:13if we let him talk to Samantha.
31:14No.
31:15Forget that.
31:16He doesn't want to help us.
31:17He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
31:19He agreed.
31:20So do Clopas and Harper,
31:21but he says that the girl's being held
31:23near the red place.
31:25And if we told that to Samantha,
31:26then she'd agree to talk.
31:27No, we're not saying that to her, okay?
31:29It's a trick.
31:32Amanda, open the door.
31:35What happened?
31:36The red place?
31:36I mean, it's got to be
31:37some sort of trigger phrase.
31:38He spent three years convincing her
31:40that the police were in league with him,
31:42and she just heard us using his language.
31:47Let me steal this!
31:57We need medical attention!
32:01Please, I can't do it!
32:03I need this!
32:05Get up!
32:05No, I need this!
32:06I need this!
32:07I need this!
32:09I need this!
32:09I need this!
32:09I need this!
32:10I need this!
32:11I need this!
32:12I need this!
32:137 out of 20,
32:15no sign of suspect vehicle
32:16at 1900 to Hawthorne.
32:187 out of 4,

32:227 Lincoln 15,

32:25garage are clear.
32:26Moving to lower level.
32:27Okay.
32:2815.
32:4415.
32:4815.
32:5016.
32:5120.
32:53Julie, you in there?
33:14No, no, no.
33:1827 Lincoln 15, I have her.
33:19Lower level of the garage.
33:21Send an ambulance now.
33:23Hey.
33:27Hey, Julie.
33:29I'm Officer Nolan.
33:30I'm here to help you.
33:31Now, I'm going to have to put some pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding, okay?
33:35But it is going to hurt.
33:36I am so sorry.
33:38Easy.
33:40I'm sorry.
33:42I'm sorry.
33:42I know.
33:43I know.
33:43You're doing great.
33:44You're doing great.
33:48I don't think anybody else's out.
33:49She's right here.
33:50She just passed out.
33:51She's lost a lot of blood.
33:52She's in hypoblemic shock.
33:56We've got to get her out of here.
34:05Nolan.
34:11Hey.
34:11Are you all right?
34:11Yeah, um, Julie just got out of surgery.
34:16They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled through, and she's recovering
34:20in the ICU.
34:20Thank God.
34:21Can I talk to her when she's ready?
34:24Uh, I'll ask.
34:27You know, we wouldn't have found her without you.
34:30You gave us the car.
34:31I said it had wheels.
34:32And that it was black and old.
34:34I meant it.
34:36She is alive because of you.
34:38Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:43I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:46Yeah.
34:46Yeah.
34:52Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
34:53Um, okay.
35:09What was the, um, the red place?
35:11There was this house that we stayed at early on.
35:18They had painted the bathroom red.
35:21So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
35:31I know you're not ready to hear this.
35:34Um, but when it's time, the first step of your recovery will be to stop blaming you.
35:42Sure.
35:44On it.
35:45I know.
35:46I know.
35:46It's easier said than done, but I know what I'm talking about, you know.
35:52I want to share something with you, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
35:58Yeah.
35:58Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy.
36:03And he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
36:07Um, uh, we went on a date.
36:09Um, and he, he kidnapped me.
36:12The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die in another
36:21five minutes, and I probably would have.
36:24For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me,
36:30how I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
36:37I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't.
36:43So, eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do, and I focused on the thing
36:48that I did.
36:50I survived.
36:52You survived.
36:54Samantha, you're here.
36:55I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
37:06But I do.
37:08I really, really do.
37:12Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:14Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
37:17She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow afternoon.
37:22Hey, it's okay.
37:24Don't worry, all right?
37:25You're not going to be alone.
37:26Every female cop at Mid-Wilshire has volunteered to keep you company in the coming days and weeks.
37:31Yeah.
37:32We have your back, Samantha.
37:33For however long you need, until you feel safe.
37:42Hey.
37:43Seth's here.
37:44I'll be in my room.
37:46It's good to see you, too.
37:52It's not a fan.
37:53Poor you.
37:57Um, look, you're right, man.
38:02The self-pity's got to stop.
38:04I want to do better.
38:05But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so will you help me?
38:13I would need radical honesty.
38:18One tiny white lie, I'm out.
38:21In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:25Still has a sense of humor.
38:26You might make it through this after all.
38:30All right.
38:31No lies, no woes.
38:32Me, just head down, do the work, be grateful.
38:36Deal?
38:37Deal.
38:37Come here, brother.
38:49Surprise!
38:51Hey.
38:52Thanks.
38:52Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
38:56You did forget.
38:58Uh, no.
38:59It's definitely not my birthday.
39:01No.
39:02It's a different special day.
39:05Uh, wait, no, it's...
39:10Oh, my God.
39:14It's our anniversary.
39:15It is.
39:16You forgot.
39:18And I remember.
39:21Did you?
39:23Totally.
39:27Congrats, grad.
39:29Fine.
39:30I forgot.
39:31But I had to pull this together fast.
39:33But I remember it before you did, and that's what's important.
39:38Winning?
39:39Yeah.
39:39And you know what else is super important?
39:42No.
39:43What?
39:43The kids are with my mom.
39:45Oh.
39:46Hmm.
39:53Hi.
39:54Hey, honey.
39:55How's it going?
39:56Oh, I missed you.
39:58Oh, God.
39:59What a day.
40:01How'd it go at the hospital?
40:01It's fine.
40:03Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
40:08Mm-hmm.
40:09Do I smell thinner?
40:10Don't get too excited.
40:11I ordered Italian.
40:12It's in the oven.
40:13Keep it warm.
40:14Hmm.
40:14You're a hero.
40:16Hmm.
40:17Oh, God.
40:18Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:24Okay.
40:24Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not a
40:32UPS sorting facility.
40:34We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:36I...
40:38I agree.
40:42No time like the present.
40:43Let's do it.
40:44Wait, hold on.
40:44I'm tired.
40:46I'm very tired.
40:48I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I would...
40:51I could sit here and supervise.
40:55Yeah.
40:56I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
40:59You can't.
41:00All right, I'll get dinner.
41:07Yep.
41:22Good work today, Officer Nola.
41:24Thanks.
41:26How come I don't feel better about it?
41:28I think you know the answer.
41:31Yeah.
41:34Listen.
41:35We can't change what already happened.
41:38All we can do is stop it from happening again.
41:42And you did that today.
41:44In a big way.
41:46Which means...
41:48Someone ought to buy you a drink.
41:51You volunteering?
41:53I am.
41:53This killer's underestimating you?
42:08Good.
42:09They won't even see you coming.
42:13What now?
42:13We get him.
42:21Damn it.
