00:00What are you doing here?
00:20I just want to see how you're doing.
00:22Never better.
00:25Right.
00:26Now if I come in, maybe we can talk.
00:27I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:29So, why do you care all of a sudden?
00:33I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:38And I'm ashamed.
00:40My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man and I fell down.
00:45And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:52With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
00:59Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:18God, I hope not.
01:19What?
01:20I don't think so.
01:25I found the bacon.
01:26Fake bacon.
01:27Great.
01:30You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:32After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:36And by finish, I mean start.
01:38Oh, well, I mean...
01:39Sorry.
01:39Sorry.
01:40I think we're making progress.
01:44You know?
01:46Living in takes time.
01:47It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:49I moved constantly when I was in the army.
01:52Here's what I learned.
01:53If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:56If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:59We're well past that.
02:00I'm aware.
02:01This is killing you, isn't it?
02:04I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:08Okay.
02:13I'm sorry.
02:14It's just...
02:15It won't feel like you've fully moved in until all the boxes are gone.
02:21That's nice.
02:21Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back
02:27and fix later.
02:27So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the
02:34long run.
02:35Okay.
02:39Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:43I 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
02:50to sleep.
02:51You don't understand that.
02:53All right.
02:54Over here for your mug shop, please.
02:56Oh, okay.
02:59Face the camera.
03:00Stand still.
03:02To your right.
03:04I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
03:07And I'm sorry.
03:09I just got really desperate for...
03:12Am I going to jail?
03:15You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:18Okie dokie.
03:20Is there any food?
03:22Um, just, I haven't eaten in a while.
03:24Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break room for you.
03:27All right.
03:28I appreciate that.
03:33I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:37Oh, I can't help with that.
03:38No.
03:38Hey, no, no, no.
03:39That's, that's, um, that's okay.
03:40You don't have to do that.
03:41Oh, it's no problem.
03:42You know, a clean space, it, it really helps.
03:45Trust me.
03:45You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a, a frat house.
03:51I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over and insisted on cleaning.
03:58That's okay.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59You're not my mom.
04:00I can, I do that myself.
04:02What I'm trying to say is, you, you know, I, I've been where you, where you are.
04:10After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:12I couldn't play football again, so why bother?
04:15Professionally.
04:16You can never do it again professionally.
04:18Right.
04:20It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:22Like, I majored in physical.
04:23Can you please just shut up?
04:24You hurt your knee.
04:25I lost my leg.
04:27I'm not saying it's, it's the same.
04:29Yes, you are, Miles.
04:30You didn't go to the NFL.
04:33You lost your million dollar contract, but you can still run.
04:37What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:41I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:00I, I didn't mean anything by that.
05:06You're right.
05:07I don't know what you're going through.
05:11But I want to.
05:12So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:15Oh, no.
05:21What?
05:23Today is my wedding anniversary and I totally spaced.
05:26Oh, yeah, that's not great.
05:28But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:31No.
05:31Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:33If Wesley remembers everything and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:37then that means...
05:38It means it was a test and I failed.
05:41Wow.
05:42What?
05:51Nolan.
05:56Yeah, what's up?
05:57You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Kang?
05:59Uh, well, that's the name he gave me.
06:01He didn't have any idea, though.
06:02There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:06A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:10Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:12They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial site.
06:15All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:19Until I ran Ezra Kangs.
06:21The victims were the Poston family.
06:29Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:31They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:34The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
06:38killed the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:41Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:44So what do we have on our suspect?
06:46Literally nothing.
06:47He says his name is Ezra Kang.
06:49That could be an alias.
06:50I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:54He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:56Any ID?
06:56No.
06:57He had a little bit of cash on him and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
07:01Haven't run them yet.
07:02We can assume they're stolen.
07:03Any in the name of the murder family?
07:05No.
07:06So how do you want to handle this?
07:09We have a window here.
07:11He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
07:13He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
07:16And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
07:20So you should do the interview.
07:22Mm-hmm.
07:24Right.
07:26Okay.
07:32Any advice?
07:33I mean, you read him his rights.
07:35Yeah, but not for this.
07:36That doesn't matter.
07:37As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney,
07:40anything you get in your questioning, it's admissible.
07:41The key is not to push.
07:43Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:47Okay?
07:47The second that he suspects that you are onto the murders, he's going to bail.
07:50Got it?
07:51Got it.
07:54Um, can someone track down a sandwich, give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:58Smart.
07:58Can do.
07:59Okay.
07:59Remember, go easy.
08:01The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
08:03Understood.
08:04Right, but not too easy, because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with kid gloves.
08:09Just Goldilocks, this thing.
08:10Yeah.
08:10hey sorry to keep your weight sorry i thought you said i was gonna cite albert yeah um i know but
08:37i found some credit cards when i was going through your things credit cards that do not belong to you
08:43yeah i found them um not all at the same time you know like along the way people drop them people
08:51throw them out by accident and i know you know it was wrong to use them i just i get so hungry
08:59i get it but i'm just gonna need some clarity before i make a recommendation to the da's office
09:05right now your arrest falls into the wobbler category could be a misdemeanor could be a felony
09:12now i want to recommend the former but i can't do that unless you are straight with me no i'm
09:18i'm an open book okay well let's get started uh sorry i tend to uh default towards disorganized
09:29which is why i'm still in patrol and not a fancy detective well get me wrong i actually love
09:36working the streets but uh every day is unique and i meet some fascinating people like me yes
09:43we'll see okay your name is ezra kane but you declined to give me a date of birth or social
09:52security number or basically anything i could use to confirm your identity and if you want the da's
09:58office to play nice that is not gonna fly would you believe i don't know the first and i don't have
10:04the second no yeah i didn't get the best start in life didn't know dad mom od'd when i was like a
10:11baby if i had a birth certificate she probably used it to roll the blunts i ricocheted through the foster
10:20system for a decade and at some point somebody just picked a birthday for me and i it whatever it is
10:28that can't be right what was it i think it's like january 6th of 82 or maybe 83 and okay yeah and
10:37where are you born in los angeles yeah were you you know i don't get a california vibe oh east coast
10:46pennsylvania right that makes more sense i'm from idaho i got to say growing up in idaho was pretty hard
10:52hi this is detective angela lopez los angeles police department i need to run an idaho record
10:58search last name kane with a k first name ezra possible birth date of 1682 or 83 but to be safe
11:06search birth dates from 88 to 78 thanks the cold helped the swelling go down when i caught a beating
11:12well i guess and that's why you moved to southern california if not so that you could just
11:18warm up a little bit when was that i'm sorry i thought we were talking about credit cards
11:24yeah no listen we're getting there um establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the da but
11:33if you are in a hurry i can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell no no need to be like
11:38that i i yeah um i just i'm not used to people taking an interest and i guess uh it's just not
11:48easy stuff to talk about all right excuse me
11:54ah jen thank you very much got you something more substantive to eat great thank you okay
12:04let's get to the credit cards yeah great thanks whatever the credit card records
12:12all right only two cards have recent activity on them one was used two nights ago at the
12:21hollywood premiere motel that dollar amount suggests that he still has the room hot damn
12:27it's everyone's worst nightmare waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your
12:35house yeah and yet it's statistically the least likely way to get murdered by a psychopath
12:40i guess we both have some painful experience there is there a problem hi have you seen this man
12:48room 216. so you know we've never really talked about what happened to you
12:54not that we should have but you know just uh with my sister's case and everything i think you've been
13:01all up in my trauma and you know what i'm sorry i shouldn't have brought it up all right listen it's

18:05yeah i mean i know what they taught us in the academy but
18:08i mean he left her alone for at least twelve hours
18:11it's the opposite of fight or flight
18:13you know it's freeze and appease you saw how scared she was of him

26:34the place was empty after that
26:36well this place is huge
26:37there's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road
26:40all right
26:41this is about where i saw him
26:46he heard me coming
26:47and then he took off that way through those doors
26:49got it
27:04car key
27:05mr ditched it when he heard me coming
27:07what hit?
27:08what hit?
27:09maybe he's gonna ditch the keys so you didn't find the car
27:11well why?
27:12i don't know
27:13like i said
27:14there were no cars here when i got here this morning
27:16i scrubbed body cam
27:17i scrubbed dash cam
27:18no black sedan
27:19whoa
27:20i got blood
27:21there were no visible cuts on Ezra when i processed them
27:27right there
27:28have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
27:31or was that a later in life revelation?
27:34that's it
27:37oh your your your disbelief in my truth
27:41it makes no difference as long as samantha believes that's all that matters
27:45yeah that won't last
27:46yeah that won't last
27:47you don't control her anymore
27:48hmm how little you know
27:50i'm gonna be with her until the day she dies
27:52which was gonna be today
27:55you know why?
27:57it's the real reason i was trespassing this morning
28:04Nolan
28:05i have found a new soulmate
28:16he's got another girl
28:20all right julie reed was reported missing at 4 a.m. after she failed to come home from a friend's house
28:25according 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
28:30sounds like he'd been watching her for a while planning the perfect time and place to make his move
28:34if the suspect car was gone when officer nolan arrived this morning
28:38ezra must have left and came back why would he do that?
28:41my best guess is that he left something at the scene most likely his makeshift wallet
28:45he only realized it after he left but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to the abduction
28:50but with a wounded girl in the trunk he was faced with a problem
28:53it would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside
28:56but 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
29:02so he parked the car somewhere else somewhere no one could hear her screaming went back on foot
29:06right but how far would he be comfortable walking?
29:10ten minutes twenty?
29:11the average walking pace of a healthy male is probably two and a half three miles an hour
29:16any faster might draw him wanted attention
29:18okay so to be safe let's say three and a half miles per hour for a twenty minute walk
29:22which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius
29:26it's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded
29:29she was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago
29:32every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive
29:39where is julie reid?
29:41oh is that her name?
29:42no cause we were never properly introduced and can you please turn the ac off?
29:47it's like a freezer in here
29:49no problem just as soon as you tell us where she is
29:52mmm
29:53do you think i would trade my comfort for her?
29:56after all you've seen of my sacrifice
29:58no no i guess not
30:00but what would you trade for her?
30:02now that's an interesting question
30:04let's see
30:06i would say a reduced sentence
30:08but we all know that would be a hollow promise
30:11after all that i've done
30:13mmm
30:14i would love to say a proper goodbye
30:17to fair samantha
30:18not a chance in hell
30:19that is a non-starter
30:21there is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl
30:24i don't think you have a choice
30:25i think you kind of have to ask her
30:27no we don't
30:28oh yeah no i think i think samantha would disagree
30:30think about it
30:31how is samantha gonna feel
30:34when julie dies before you tell her
30:36and samantha realizes she could have saved that poor girl
30:39huh
30:41huh
30:42how about this
30:43let's give this a shot
30:44tell samantha that julie is near the red place
30:47and if she just talks to me for one more minute
30:50i-i will tell you where that is
31:00sorry to interrupt i just need to borrow sergeant shen
31:02wait did something happen?
31:04no no no i just need it for a second
31:06i'll be just outside okay
31:07i'm right here
31:12Ezra took another girl
31:13before he was arrested
31:14he says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to samantha
31:17no
31:18forget that
31:19he doesn't want to help us
31:20he just wants to keep traumatizing her
31:22i agree
31:23so do lopez and harper
31:24but
31:25he says that the girl's being held near the red place
31:28and if we told that that doesn't mean that
31:29then she'd agree to help
31:30no we're not saying that to her okay
31:32it's a trick
31:36Samantha open the door
31:37what happened?
31:39the red place i mean it's got to be some sort of trigger craze
31:42he spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him
31:45and she just heard us using his language
31:59let me do this
32:00we need medical attention
32:04no please i can't do it
32:06i need it
32:07ma'am
32:08get her up
32:09no i need it
32:10i need it
32:12i need it
32:13i need it
32:14i need it

32:257 Lincoln 15
32:26first five levels of Wilshire office complex garage are clear
32:30moving to lower level
32:31ok
32:43Oh, my God.
33:13Julie, you in there?
33:227 Lincoln 15. I have her. Lower level of the garage.
33:25Send an ambulance now.
33:31Hey. Hey, Julie.
33:33I'm Officer Nolan. I'm here to help you.
33:35Now, I'm gonna have to put some pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding, okay?
33:39But it is going to hurt. I am so sorry.
33:42Easy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. I know.
33:48You're doing great. You're doing great.
33:53She's right here. She just passed out. She's lost a lot of blood.
33:58Pulse is weak.
33:59She's in hypoblemic shock. We gotta get her out of here.
34:01Nolan.
34:15Hey.
34:16Are you all right?
34:18Yeah. Um, Julie just got out of surgery.
34:21They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled through, and she's recovering in the ICU.
34:25Thank God.
34:26Can I talk to her when she's ready?
34:29Uh, I'll ask.
34:32You know, we wouldn't have found her without you. You gave us the car.
34:36I said it had wheels.
34:37And that it was black and old. I meant it.
34:40She is alive because of you.
34:43Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:48I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:51Yeah.
34:51Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
34:59Okay.
35:14What was the, um, the red place?
35:16There was this house that we stayed at early on.
35:22They had painted the bathroom red.
35:26So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
35:33I know you're not ready to hear this.
35:39Um, but when it's time, the first step of your recovery will be to stop blaming yourself.
35:47Sure.
35:49On it.
35:49I know. I know.
35:51It's easier said than done, but I know what I'm talking about.
35:56Um, you know, I want to share something with you, uh, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
36:03Um, so my rookie year, as a cop, I met this guy.
36:07And he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he-he seemed great.
36:12Um, uh, we went on a date, and he-he kidnapped me.
36:17The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die.
36:25In another five minutes, and I probably would have.
36:29For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me.
36:35How I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
36:39I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't.
36:48So, eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do, and I focused on the thing that I did.
36:55I survived.
36:57You survived.
36:59Samantha, you're here.
37:00I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
37:11But I do.
37:13I really, really do.
37:16Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:19Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
37:22She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow afternoon.
37:28It's okay.
37:29Don't worry, all right?
37:29You're not going to be alone.
37:31Every female cop at Mid-Wilshire has volunteered to keep you company in the coming days and weeks.
37:36Yeah, we have your back, Samantha.
37:38For however long you need, until you feel safe.
37:46Hey.
37:48Seth's here.
37:49I'll be in my room.
37:51It's good to see you, too.
37:56Just another fan.
37:58Poor you.
37:58Look, you're right, man.
38:06The self-pity's got to stop.
38:09I want to do better.
38:10But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so...
38:16Will you help me?
38:18I would need radical honesty.
38:22One tiny white lie, and I'm out.
38:24In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:29Still has a sense of humor.
38:31You might make it through this after all.
38:35All right.
38:36No lies, no woes, me.
38:37Just head down, do the work.
38:39Be grateful.
38:40Deal?
38:41Deal.
38:41Deal.
38:42Come here, brother.
38:48Surprise!
38:50Hey, thanks.
38:50Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
39:00You did forget.
39:02Uh, no.
39:04It's definitely not my birthday.
39:06No.
39:07It's a different special day.
39:12Uh, wait.
39:13No, it's...
39:15Oh, my God.
39:18It's our anniversary.
39:20It is.
39:20You forgot, and I remember.
39:26Did you?
39:28Totally.
39:31Congrats, grad.
39:34Fine.
39:35I forgot.
39:36But I had to pull this together fast.
39:38But I remembered before you did, and that's what's important.
39:43Winning.
39:43Yeah.
39:44And you know what else is super important?
39:47No, what?
39:48The kids are with my mom.
39:50Oh.
39:51Mmm.
39:54Sunset in your eyes.
39:58Hi.
39:59Hey, Andy.
40:00How's it going?
40:01Oh, I missed you.
40:03Oh, God.
40:04What a day.
40:05How'd it go at the hospital?
40:06It's fine.
40:07Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
40:12Mm-hmm.
40:13Do I smell dinner?
40:15Don't get too excited.
40:16I ordered Italian.
40:17It's in the oven.
40:18Keep them warm.
40:19Hmm.
40:19I'm a hero.
40:20Hmm.
40:22Oh, God.
40:23Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:29Okay.
40:29Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not
40:36a UPS sorting facility.
40:39We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:41I...
40:42I...
40:43I agree.
40:45No time like the present.
40:48Let's do it.
40:48Wait, hold on.
40:49I'm tired.
40:51I'm...
40:51I'm very tired.
40:53I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I would...
40:56I could...
40:57I could sit here and...
40:59and supervise.
41:01I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
41:04You can't.
41:05All right.
41:06I'll get dinner.
41:12Yep.
41:12Good work today, Officer Nolan.
41:29Thanks.
41:29How come I don't feel better about it?
41:34I think you know the answer.
41:36Yeah.
41:39Listen.
41:40We can't change what already happened.
41:43All we can do is stop it from happening again.
41:47And you did that today.
41:49In a big way.
41:51Which means...
41:53someone ought to buy you a drink.
41:56You volunteering?
41:58I am.
41:59Okay.
42:26Bye.
42:27Bye.
42:28Bye.
42:28Bye.
42:29Bye.
42:29Bye.
42:29Damn it.
