00:00What are you doing here?
00:20I 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, why do you care all of a sudden?
00:31I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:37And I'm ashamed.
00:38My mama, she taught me how to be the bigger man, and I fell down.
00:43And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people, and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:50With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
00:58Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:14Oh, God, I hope not.
01:16What?
01:16I don't think so.
01:18I found the bacon.
01:22Fake bacon.
01:23Great.
01:25You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:28After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:32And by finish, I mean start.
01:33Oh, well, I mean...
01:34Sorry.
01:35Sorry.
01:37I think we're making progress.
01:39You know?
01:41Living in takes time.
01:42It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:43I moved constantly when I was in the Army.
01:46Here's what I learned.
01:47If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:50If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:53Damn, we're well past that.
01:55I'm aware.
01:57This is killing you, isn't it?
01:59I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:02Okay.
02:06I'm sorry.
02:07It's just...
02:08It won't feel like you've fully moved in until all the boxes are gone.
02:14That's nice.
02:16Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back and fix later.
02:20So, trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:27Okay.
02:32Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:35I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:38Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place to sleep.
02:43You don't understand that.
02:45All right.
02:46Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:48Oh, okay.
02:50Face the camera.
02:51Stand still.
02:54To your right.
02:55I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
02:59And I'm sorry.
03:00I just got really desperate for...
03:02Am I, um, going to jail or...
03:06You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:09Okie dokie.
03:11Is there any food?
03:12Um, just, I haven't eaten in a while.
03:15Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break room for you.
03:17All right.
03:18I appreciate that.
03:19I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:26Uh, I can't help with that.
03:28No.
03:28Hey, no, no, no.
03:29That's, um, that's okay.
03:30You don't have to do that.
03:31Uh, it's no problem.
03:32You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:34Trust me.
03:35You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:40I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over and...
03:45Yeah.
03:46...insisted on cleaning.
03:47That's okay.
03:47You're not my mom.
03:48You're not my mom.
03:49I can...
03:50I can do that myself.
03:53What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
03:58After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:01I couldn't play football again, so why bother?
04:03Professionally.
04:04You can never do it again professionally.
04:06Right.
04:06It's not like I had a fall of that career, man.
04:09Like, I majored in physical...
04:10Can you please just shut up?
04:12You hurt your knee.
04:13I lost my leg.
04:15I'm not saying it's the same.
04:16Yes, you are.
04:17Miles, you didn't go to the NFL.
04:20You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:22But you can still run.
04:24What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:32Oh.
04:36I think we started off on a wrong foot.
04:49I didn't mean anything by that.
04:52You're right.
04:53I don't know what you're going through.
04:56But I want to.
04:58So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:00Oh, no.
05:06What?
05:07Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:11Oh, yeah.
05:11That's not great.
05:12But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:15No.
05:16Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:18If Wesley remembers everything, and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:21then that means...
05:22It means it was a test, and I failed.
05:25Wow.
05:26What?
05:26What?
05:26What?
05:26What?
05:30Nolan.
05:39Yeah.
05:39What's up?
05:40You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Kane?
05:42Um, well, that's the name he gave me.
05:44He didn't have any idea, though.
05:45There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
05:49A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
05:52Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
05:55They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial sites.
05:57All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:01Until I ran Ezra Kane's.
06:03Yeah.
06:07The victims were the Poston family.
06:09Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:11They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:14The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
06:18killed the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:21Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:25So what do we have in our suspect?
06:25With literally nothing.
06:27He says his name is Ezra Kane.
06:29That could be an alias.
06:30I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:33He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:35Any ID?
06:36No.
06:36He had a little bit of cash on him, and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
06:40Haven't run them yet.
06:41We can assume they were stolen.
06:42Any in the name of the murdered family?
06:44No.
06:45So how do you want to handle this?
06:46We have a window here.
06:49He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
06:52He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
06:54And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
06:58So you should do the interview.
07:01Mm-hmm.
07:02Right.
07:02Okay.
07:10Any advice?
07:11I mean, you read him his rights.
07:13Yeah, but not for this.
07:14That doesn't matter.
07:15As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney, anything you get in your questioning,
07:18it's admissible.
07:19The key is not to push.
07:20Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:24Okay?
07:24For the second that he suspects that you are on to the murders, he's going to bail.
07:27Got it?
07:27Got it.
07:30Um, can someone track down a sandwich, give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:34Smart.
07:35Can do.
07:35Okay.
07:36Remember, go easy.
07:37The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
07:40Understood.
07:40Right, but not too easy, because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with
07:44kid gloves.
07:45It's Goldilocks, isn't it?
07:46Mm-hmm.
07:46Yeah.
07:54Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.
08:08Sorry, I thought you said I was going to cite Albert?
08:11Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things,
08:16credit cards that do not belong to you.
08:18Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time, you know, like, along the way, people
08:24drop them, people throw them out by accident, and I know, you know, it was wrong to use
08:30them.
08:31I just, I get so hungry.
08:33I get it, but I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the
08:38TA's office.
08:38Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
08:42Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
08:44Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with
08:49me.
08:50No, I'm, I'm an open book.
08:53Okay.
08:53Well, let's get started.
08:56Uh, sorry, I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol
09:03and not a fancy detective.
09:06Don't get me wrong, I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique,
09:11and I meet some fascinating people.
09:13Like me.
09:14Yes.
09:15We'll see.
09:16Okay.
09:17Okay.
09:17Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security
09:24number or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity.
09:27And if you want the DA's office to play nice, that is not going to fly.
09:31Would you believe I don't know the first and I don't have the second?
09:35No.
09:36Yeah.
09:36I didn't get the best start in life.
09:39Didn't know dad.
09:40Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
09:42If I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
09:46Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade, and at some point somebody just
09:53picked a birthday for me, and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
09:58What, what, what was it?
09:59I think it's like January 6th of 82 or maybe 83, and.
10:05Okay.
10:05Yeah.
10:06And, were you born in Los Angeles?
10:08Yeah.
10:09Were you?
10:10You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:12Oh.
10:13East Coast.
10:14Pennsylvania.
10:15Right, that, that makes more sense.
10:17I'm from Idaho.
10:18I've got to say growing up in Idaho is pretty hard.
10:21Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
10:25I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:27Last name, Kane with a K, first name Ezra.
10:30Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
10:36Good news.
10:36Thanks.
10:37The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
10:41Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California.
10:44If not so that you could just warm up a little bit.
10:46When was that?
10:48I'm sorry.
10:49I thought we were talking about credit cards.
10:52Yeah.
10:52No, listen.
10:53We're getting there.
10:55Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA.
10:59But if you are in a hurry, I can just recommend felony and you can wait on yourself.
11:03No.
11:03No need to be like that.
11:04I, I, I, I, yeah.
11:07Um, I just, I'm not used to people taking an interest and I guess, uh, it's just not easy stuff to talk about.
11:16All right.
11:18Excuse me.
11:22Ah, Jen, thank you very much.
11:24Got you something more substantive to eat.
11:26Great.
11:28Okay.
11:29Let's get to the credit cards.
11:31Yeah.
11:33Great.
11:34Thanks.
11:35We have the credit card records.
11:41All right.
11:41Only two cards have recent activity on them.
11:44One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood premiere motel.
11:47And a dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
11:50Hot damn.
11:54It's everyone's worst nightmare.
11:56Waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your house.
11:59Yeah.
11:59And yet it's statistically the least likely way to get murdered by a psychopath.
12:04I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:07Is there a problem?
12:08Hi.
12:08Hi.
12:09Have you seen this man?
12:11Room 216.
12:14So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
12:18Not that we should have.
12:19But, you know, just with my sister's case and everything,
12:22I think you've been all up in my trauma.
12:24And you know what?
12:27I'm sorry.
12:27I shouldn't have brought it up.
12:28All right.
12:29Listen, it's fine.
12:30It's natural to be curious.
12:31I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma.
12:34So.
12:34Copy.
12:39Police!
12:41Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
12:48Clear.
13:00There's nowhere for you to go.
13:01Come out.
13:01Come out.
13:01All right.
13:06Step out.
13:07No.
13:08You need to go.
13:09Yeah.
13:09We're not going to do that.
13:10Come out of the tub, please.
13:12I'm fine.
13:15He's going to come back.
13:17You have to go.
13:19He's going to come back.
13:21You have to go.
13:24You have to go.
13:25Please.
13:26Is your name Samantha?
13:30Please.
13:30Just.
13:31Samantha.
13:33Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
13:36He can't hurt you anymore.
13:37Okay?
13:38I promise.
13:38It is not fair.
13:45I came clean to everyone.
13:47I've confessed every lie, every sin.
13:50And nobody's forgiven me for anything that I've done.
13:53Half the people that I called, they hang up on me.
13:56My dad, my dad won't even take my calls.
14:00You really haven't changed at all.
14:02Excuse me?
14:02You're doing the same thing you always have.
14:04You're not considering anyone else's experience.
14:07You lied to everyone about almost everything.
14:10Over and over again.
14:12Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
14:17What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
14:19It's going to take a lot more than an apology tour to fix that.
14:22I suck.
14:24I get it.
14:27Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
14:29I'll see you never.
14:30Thanks for breakfast.
14:31Get out of here.
14:34My parents.
14:38You have to call my parents.
14:39You have to tell them that I'm okay.
14:42Of course.
14:43The doctor will take good care of you.
14:49She doesn't know they're dead.
14:52I mean, he kept her isolated.
14:53She only knows what he told her.
14:54I shouldn't have said yes.
14:55I wasn't thinking.
14:57Hey, look.
14:57It was instinct, all right?
14:59Try not to beat yourself up.
15:00She's in shock.
15:01It wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
15:02It'll be fine.
15:03Yeah.
15:04You haven't eaten much.
15:11Problem with the sandwich?
15:12No, no.
15:12This is great.
15:13I'm just...
15:13You know what it is?
15:14I'm a little claustrophobic.
15:15Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
15:19Sorry to interrupt.
15:20Can I steal you for a sec?
15:22Of course.
15:22Excuse me.
15:23Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston inside Ezra's motel room.
15:29Is she, uh...
15:30She's alive and in no immediate medical danger.
15:34But beyond that...
15:35Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
15:37Not yet.
15:37There's still room for you to squeeze in before everything comes out into the open.
15:40Go back in there and turn up the heat.
15:42Tell him we found a few recent charges on the various cards.
15:45Mention the motel, but not like we've gone there or even that we will.
15:48And let's just see what happens.
15:50Right.
15:54This changes the profile, doesn't it?
15:57He kept that girl for three years.
15:59That...
16:00He's not just a murderer.
16:02No.
16:03He's worse.
16:11Sorry about that.
16:12Yeah, everything okay?
16:15I'm gonna be straight with you, Ezra.
16:18We ran those credit cards.
16:19And we found some recent charges.
16:21One of them being to a motel in Taitown.
16:25Well, hold on.
16:27When was the motel booked?
16:29Because that wasn't me.
16:30I mean...
16:31Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
16:36So you're telling me if I went to this motel with your photograph, you would not be recognized?
16:41Absolutely not.
16:42No.
16:44I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
16:46I mean, surely the LAPD has better things to do than spend resources on a wobbler that's 100% going to plead out.
16:56Call him my bluff.
16:57Look, I know I've got a job to do.
16:59I'm just a guy trying to make his way in an unfair world without hurting anyone.
17:05Can you explain something for me?
17:11Why didn't she leave?
17:12Yeah.
17:13I mean, I know what they taught us in the academy, but...
17:15I mean, he left her alone for at least 12 hours.
17:18It's the opposite of fight or flight.
17:20You know, it's freeze and appease.
17:21You saw how scared she was of him.
17:23That level of fear, it's her primary motivator.
17:26Maybe her only one.
17:26Hey.
17:31I'm sorry.
17:32I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives conduct a more formal interview.
17:39Okay.
17:39Okay.
17:40I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been, so I'm not going to assume that you remember anything, all right?
17:53The man who took you, we have him in custody.
17:56Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
17:58Is that how you name him?
17:59I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:00Who said that?
18:01Him?
18:03Yeah, I get it.
18:04Samantha, you're safe now.
18:07You are.
18:08Did you talk to my parents?
18:15Are they coming?
18:18Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
18:23No.
18:25No.
18:25I'm so sorry.
18:26No.
18:26What happened to them?
18:27Did he kill them?
18:29No.
18:29No, they're alive.
18:31He said they have to be alive.
18:33He said that...
18:34Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
18:37Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
18:46Yeah.
18:47Eamon.
18:49He made me call him Eamon, the Seventh Spirit.
18:54Marquis of Hell.
18:55who commands 40 legions, including the police.
19:05And he said that I was his soulmate.
19:10None of that is true.
19:12Especially the police part, but it doesn't make any of that less terrifying.
19:16Do you remember the night that he took you?
19:25The screams woke me up.
19:27I thought it was the TV, so I went out into the hall just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
19:34And there, there was this smell in the air, and it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
19:51So I called out, and that's when he stepped into the hall.
19:54I couldn't really see him, but I just, I knew in my body that he was evil.
20:12Does that sound crazy?
20:14No.
20:16No.
20:16No.
20:16Where did he take you?
20:23A cabin in the woods.
20:24Or at least it used to be.
20:26I mean, I don't think anyone had lived there for years, but...
20:31That was my home.
20:34For the next eight months.
20:36Do you remember why you guys moved?
20:39Winter came.
20:40He has this thing about being cold.
20:43And by then, by then he knew I wasn't going to run.
20:48Okay.
20:49Um...
20:50I think I have what I need for now.
20:54I'm going to let you get some rest, okay?
20:57Uh, he, he bought a car.
21:00After we got to L.A.
21:02I, I don't, I don't know if that matters.
21:04Yeah, no, it sure does.
21:05Do you remember what kind of car it was?
21:08Um, it, it was old.
21:10Four doors.
21:12Black.
21:12So, he, he would have taken that car when he left the motel then?
21:15Yeah.
21:16Did he tell you where he was going?
21:17No.
21:18He just said that he may be a while.
21:22And, uh, that he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl.
21:31Did he say something else, Samantha?
21:37He said he was getting ready for after.
21:40After, after what?
21:42I thought he meant...
21:43I thought he meant...
21:44I thought he meant after me.
21:48You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
21:53And part of me was really relieved.
21:57Because...
21:57Because at least it would finally be over.
22:01Before you were gekommen, I wouldn't enter.
22:02Ever.
22:02Chris?
22:02I am going to leave rooting for you.
22:06I will not continue to be in here.
22:06Please wait here.
22:15If I was going to leave, I think I didn't want to go in there.
22:19I should never mind.
22:22I want to leave a village.
22:22I know.
22:23I just don't blame him after.
22:23I have no idea.
22:25And I listen to Ébony.
22:26Yes, I am why.
22:27Yes, it is.
22:27I just thought you knew me.
22:28Hey, Scott's in the motel.
22:35Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha. Our guy's got a car.
22:38Make and model?
22:39Black four-door sedan. Old.
22:41That's not particularly helpful.
22:42Find any trophies in the room?
22:44Uh, not yet. I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
22:47But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
22:50Freaked you out? This I gotta see.
22:52Yeah, hold on.
22:58Yeah, that's not okay.
23:02Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
23:05Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
23:07No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
23:09Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon.
23:12One of the marquees of hell.
23:17Everything okay?
23:20No.
23:23I was wrong.
23:24This is taking too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel.
23:31Why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
23:36Well, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
23:41Fingerprints.
23:50Credit where credit's due.
23:51You got that, aw, shucks, every man cop thing down pat, and I bought it for too long.
23:58That's on me.
23:59But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror
24:04that are just dying to get in here, little pigs.
24:10Little pigs.
24:12Get your asses in here.
24:15I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
24:18I'm ready for the main course.
24:19There they are.
24:24You must be the prosecutor.
24:26Wesley Evers.
24:27I'm Detective Lopez.
24:28This is Detective Harper.
24:29Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Amon?
24:34Someone's been talking out of school.
24:35I'm going to readvise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
24:40Not necessary yet.
24:41I'll let you know.
24:42Can I have a moment?
24:43Yeah.
24:45What?
24:46No goodbye?
24:46Goodbye.
24:46Goodbye.
24:46Goodbye.
24:49I'm going to go check out the rec center where I found him.
24:54Something isn't adding up.
24:55Agreed.
24:56But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him that might
25:00not have translated to us through the window?
25:03Yeah.
25:04When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real.
25:07You want to get him on the saddle?
25:08Crank the AC.
25:09Love it.
25:09My janitor locked up just after ten last night.
25:17The place was empty after that.
25:18Well, this place is huge.
25:20There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
25:24All right.
25:25This is about where I saw him.
25:28He heard me coming, and then he took off that way through those doors.
25:30Got it.
25:45Car key.
25:46Mr. ditched it when he heard me coming.
25:48What hit?
25:50One of the reasons I ditched the key is so you didn't find the car.
25:52Well, why?
25:53I don't know.
25:53Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
25:56I scrubbed body cam.
25:57I scrubbed dash cam.
25:58No black sedan.
25:59Yeah.
26:00Whoa.
26:00I got blood.
26:02There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed him.
26:07Right there.
26:08Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
26:11Or was that a later in life revelation?
26:14Yes.
26:16Oh, your disbelief in my truth, it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's all that matters.
26:24Yeah, that won't last.
26:25You don't control her anymore.
26:27Hmm.
26:28How little you know.
26:29I'm going to be with her until the day she dies, which was going to be today.
26:34You know why?
26:36It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
26:42Nolan.
26:42I have found a new soulmate.
26:56All right.
26:57Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m. after she failed to come home from a friend's house.
27:02According to her parents, she was back and forth between the two homes all the time, and her route took her right past the rec center.
27:07Sounds like he's been watching her for a while, planning the perfect time and place to make his move.
27:11If the suspect's car was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning, Ezra must have left and came back. Why would he do that?
27:16My best guess is that he left something at the scene. Most likely his makeshift wallet. He only realized it after he left, but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to the abduction.
27:25But with a wounded girl in the trunk, he was faced with a problem. It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
27:31But that would have put him at a greater risk because if Julie was conscious and screaming her head off, it would draw a lot of attention.
27:37So he parked the car somewhere else, somewhere no one could hear her screaming. Went back on foot.
27:41Right, but how far would he be comfortable walking?
27:4410 minutes, 20 minutes.
27:45The average walking pace of a healthy male is probably 2 1⁄2, 3 miles an hour. Any faster might draw him wanted attention.
27:51Okay, so to be safe, let's say 3 1⁄2 miles per hour for a 20-minute walk.
27:56Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
28:00It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded. She was left on her own somewhere over 8 hours ago.
28:06Every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
28:13Where's Julie Reid?
28:14Oh, is that her name?
28:16No, because we were never properly introduced, and can you please turn the A.C. off?
28:20It's like a freezer in here.
28:22No problem, just as soon as you tell us where she is.
28:26You'd think I would trade my comfort for her after all you've seen of my sacrifice.
28:31No, no, I guess not. But what would you trade for her?
28:34Now, that's an interesting question.
28:37Let's see. I would say a reduced sentence, but we all know that would be a hollow promise after all that I've done.
28:45I would love to say a proper goodbye to fair Samantha.
28:49Not a chance in hell.
28:51That is a non-starter. There is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
28:55I don't think you have a choice. I think you kind of have to ask her.
28:57No, we don't.
28:58Oh, yeah, no. I think Samantha would disagree.
29:01Think about it.
29:01How is Samantha going to feel when Julie dies before you tell her, and Samantha realizes she could have saved that poor girl?
29:11Huh. How about this? Let's give this a shot.
29:14Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place, and if she just talks to me for one more minute, I will tell you where that is.
29:22Sorry to interrupt. I just need to borrow Sergeant Jen.
29:32Wait, did something happen?
29:33No, no, no. I just need her for a second.
29:35I'll be just outside, okay? I'm right here.
29:40Ezra took another girl before he was arrested.
29:43He says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to Samantha.
29:46No, forget that. He doesn't want to help us. He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
29:51He agreed.
29:51So do Clopas and Harper, but he says that the girl's being held near the red place.
29:56And if we told that to Samantha, she'd agree to help.
29:58No, we're not saying that to her, okay? It's a trick.
30:03Mesa, open the door.
30:05What happened?
30:06Good place? I mean, it's got to be some sort of trigger phrase.
30:09He spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him, and she just heard us using his language.
30:16No!
30:17No!
30:18No!
30:19No!
30:20No!
30:21No!
30:22No!
30:23No!
30:24No!
30:25No!
30:26No!
30:27No!
30:28We need medical attention!
30:29No!
30:30No!
30:31Please, we can't do it!
30:32I need this!
30:33No!
30:34No!
30:35No!
30:36No!
30:37No!
30:38No!
30:39No!
30:40No!
30:41No!
30:42No!
30:43No!
30:44No!
30:45We go to AC's vehicle in 1900 to Hawthorne.
30:46Seven minimum four.
30:47Construction sighted 801-Start habeas, its empty of vehicles.
30:50Seven Lincoln fifteen, first five levels of Wilshire office complex garage are clear.
30:54Moving to lower level...
30:57I don't see.
31:01...
31:05No!
31:06Oh, my God.
31:36Julie, you in there?
31:447-15. I have her. Lower level of the garage. Send an ambulance now.
31:52Hey. Hey, Julie. I'm Officer Nolan. I'm here to help you.
31:56Now, I'm going to have to put some pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding, okay?
32:00But it is going to hurt. I am so sorry. Easy.
32:03I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. I know. You're doing great. You're doing great.
32:13She's right here. She just passed out. She's lost a lot of blood.
32:18Pulse is weak.
32:19She did hypovolemic shock. We got to get her out of here.
32:29Nolan.
32:29Hey.
32:34Are you all right?
32:37Yeah. Um, Julie just got out of surgery. They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled through, and she's recovering in the ICU.
32:43Thank God.
32:44Can I talk to her when she's ready?
32:47Uh, I'll ask.
32:50You know, we wouldn't have found her without you. You gave us the car.
32:53I said it had wheels.
32:55And that it was black and old. I meant it.
32:58She is alive because of you.
33:00Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
33:02I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
33:08Yeah.
33:13Do you mind if I can sit with you for a bit?
33:16Okay.
33:16What was the, um, the red place?
33:32There was this house that we stayed at early on.
33:38They had painted the bathroom red.
33:41So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
33:48I know you're not ready to hear this, um, but when it's time, the first step of your recovery will be to stop blaming yourself.
34:01Sure. On it.
34:04I know. I know. It's easier said than done, but I know what I'm talking about, you know.
34:11I want to share something with you, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
34:16Yeah.
34:16Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy, and he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
34:25Um, uh, we went on a date, and he, he kidnapped me.
34:31The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die in another five minutes, and I probably would have.
34:41For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me, how I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
34:50I wanted to believe that I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't.
34:59So, eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do, and I focused on the thing that I did.
35:06I survived.
35:07I survived.
35:08You survived.
35:10Samantha, you're here.
35:16I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
35:21But I do.
35:23I really, really do.
35:24Hey, um, sorry to interrupt.
35:29Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
35:31She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow afternoon.
35:37Hey, it's okay.
35:38Don't worry, all right?
35:39You're not going to be alone.
35:40Every female cop at Mid-Wilshire has volunteered to keep you company in the coming days and weeks.
35:45Yeah.
35:46We have your back, Samantha.
35:47For however long you need, until you feel safe.
35:55Hey.
35:56Seth's here.
35:57I'll be in my room.
35:59It's good to see you, too.
36:04There's another fan.
36:06Poor you.
36:10Um, look, you're right, man.
36:14The self-pity's got to stop.
36:16I want to do better.
36:17But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so...
36:24Will you help me?
36:26I would need radical honesty.
36:29One tiny white lie, and I'm out.
36:32In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
36:36Still has a sense of humor.
36:38You might make it through this after all.
36:41All right.
36:42No lies, no woes to me.
36:44Just head down, do the work, and be grateful.
36:46Deal?
36:47Deal.
36:48Yeah.
36:48Come here, brother.
36:59Surprise!
37:01Hey.
37:02Thanks.
37:02Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
37:06You did forget.
37:08Uh, no.
37:09It's definitely not my birthday.
37:10No.
37:11So, it's a different special day.
37:16Uh, wait.
37:17No, it's...
37:19Oh, my God.
37:23It's our anniversary.
37:24It is.
37:25You forgot, and I remember.
37:30Did you?
37:31Totally.
37:35Congrats, grad.
37:36Fine.
37:38I forgot.
37:39But I had to pull this together fast.
37:42But I remembered before you did, and that's what's important.
37:46Winning.
37:46Yeah.
37:47And you know what else is super important?
37:50No.
37:50What?
37:51The kids are with my mom.
37:53Oh.
37:54Mm.
37:54Mm.
37:55Mm.
37:55Mm.
37:55Mm.
38:01Hi.
38:01Hey, honey.
38:02How's it going?
38:03Oh, I missed you.
38:05Oh, God.
38:06What a day.
38:07How'd I go to the hospital?
38:08It's fine.
38:09Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
38:14Mm-hmm.
38:15Do I smell dinner?
38:16Don't get too excited.
38:17I ordered Italian.
38:18It's in the oven.
38:19Keep it warm.
38:20Hmm.
38:20You're a hero.
38:22Hmm.
38:23Oh, God.
38:24Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
38:30Okay.
38:31Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like it.
38:36a refuge and not a UPS sorting facility, we need to get these damn boxes out of here.
38:42I...
38:43I agree.
38:47No time like the present.
38:48Let's do it.
38:48Wait, hold on.
38:49I'm tired.
38:51I'm very tired.
38:52I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I would, I could, I could sit here and supervise.
39:00I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
39:03You can't.
39:05All right, I'll get dinner.
39:10Yep.
39:11Good work today, Officer Nolan.
39:27Thanks.
39:29How come I don't feel better about it?
39:31I think you know the answer.
39:33Yeah.
39:36Listen.
39:38We can't change what already happened.
39:40All we can do is stop it from happening again.
39:44And you did that today.
39:46In a big way.
39:48Which means...
39:50Someone ought to buy you a drink.
39:53You volunteering?
39:54I am.
39:55I am.
39:56I am.
39:57I am.
39:58I am.
39:59I am.
40:00I am.
