00:05You
00:11Open the door
00:13Long way, not quick
00:15He's got a knife in his hand
00:17He's got it wrapped around her neck
00:18We can't just leave him there
00:21Hands up
00:22Hands up
00:25We don't know if they're armed or even ready to fight
00:30You better stop right there
00:33I'd be advising everyone
00:36The biggest thing that I have to worry about
00:38Is not knocking them off the
00:40Cliff and Killian
00:45You have to drop it
00:46Come on, Barry
00:50He's got it
00:53He's got it
00:54He's got it
01:10Do you know who the man is?
01:14His name is George.
01:16George?
01:17Yes.
01:18Applebee, add a knife to who?
01:20Her name is Anita.
01:21I don't know her last name.
01:22Anita?
01:23Yes, ma'am.
01:24Please hurry.
01:25George is up in the house with her.
01:27I'm the neighbor.
01:28You cut her throat.
01:29You cut her throat.
01:30You cut her throat?
01:31Yes, ma'am.
01:32Yes, ma'am.
01:33Yes, ma'am.
01:34Yes, ma'am.
01:35We've got him on the way.
01:37Patrolman Lee...
01:39Lee Rose is the first responder.
01:41We have the ability in our cars to...
01:44hear live 911 calls.
01:46And I remember hearing it was hectic.
01:48Someone's screaming about something.
01:49about a knife or that someone had been cut.
01:54saying-
01:56our department had had dealings with...
01:59Appleby before he had assaulted and strangulated that victim in the past as well.
02:04Appleby before he had assaulted and strangulated that victim in the past.
02:09All right, where they at?
02:12It's downstairs Appleby!
02:14He did!
02:15He got her!
02:16He got her somewhere on the house!
02:19How did I kick that door in?
02:24I saw the people there and then they told me he's cut her.
02:29I realized that this was probably beyond a normal domestic call at this point then.
02:34And that he was armed and that she was injured.
02:40Get her out!
02:41Police Department, show me her ass!
02:44He's got the knife to her throat, he's retreating in the house.
02:47I see Mr. Appleby.
02:49He's going to be holding our female victim as a hostage, using her as a human shield.
02:54He's got a knife in his hand and he's got it wrapped around her neck.
02:57I'm going to kick in the back door.
02:59I'm going to kick in the back door and I'm going to kick in the back door.
03:04You
03:09You
03:14Yeah
03:16You want a break?
03:17Yeah, you got something?
03:18Yeah, I will
03:19You
03:21You

03:29You
03:30It was a fairly small landing and a surprisingly sturdy door
03:34on this house
03:35It felt like forever trying to get this door open
03:39You
03:40You
03:41You
03:42You
03:44You
03:46You
03:47You
03:49You
03:50You
03:51You
03:52Where are you guys at?
03:54You
03:56I was so relieved when I was able to get the door open
03:59It felt like every second mattered at that point
04:01It felt like every second mattered at that point
04:04You
04:06You
04:07You
04:08You
04:09You
04:10You
04:11You

04:31You
04:32You
04:33You
04:34You
04:35You
04:36You
04:37You
04:38You
04:14You getting in?
04:19A sergeant arrives as backup.
04:24Lee, where you at?
04:29Back here.
04:32Hold on with your hands up!
04:34What, that's lethal?
04:37This door is locked.
04:39You're right behind it.
04:41Watch out.
04:44I don't care.
04:46I don't care.
04:49I can break it.
04:50He tries to kick it, but it's not opening.
04:54But it was very relieving to finally have another, at least another person there.
05:00Open the door!
05:03Open the door!
05:04While we were trying to open the door, I could hear Mr.
05:09Apple be yelling and screaming at us.
05:11He was extremely erratic.
05:14Open the door!
05:15Essentially something to go away and he'll quit or go away.
05:19He'll come out, which obviously we don't have the ability to do.
05:22We can't just exit the house.
05:24And leave him there.
05:25We know we have to rescue her from him.
05:27And that ain't gonna happen.
05:30Open the door!
05:31Open the door!
05:33Open the door!
05:34Open the door!
05:35Open the door!
05:38I'm hoping that she's still on.
05:39alive at this point, we couldn't hear her saying anything or
05:44talking or screaming. So I had no indication that she was actually still
05:49alive in that room.
05:50Open the door.
05:52Not playing, not playing.
05:54As officers struggled to break the door down, Detective Robert
05:59Towson arrives.
06:04We've got a second of this.
06:09See upstairs here?
06:14No.
06:15No.
06:16No.
06:17No.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No.
06:23Blue, blue.

06:56No.
06:57No.
06:58No.
06:34position and took my step back. The rifle gives him a lot more accuracy and firepower.
06:39It is the primary weapon of choice if we're going to be going into a situation like this.
06:44Yep.
06:49Come on with your hands up or we are coming in after you.
06:54We cannot leave, but we need you to walk out.
06:58Come on in.
06:59I'm not the only one that grabbed my rifle out of the car.
07:01I know that the best place for me is going to be.
07:04In the front has the lethal cover.
07:09I will walk out.
07:10Then come out with your hands up.
07:12I will walk out.
07:13Then come out.
07:14Then come out with your hands up.
07:19Let me bring a halogun or a ram.
07:21I'm going to bring you to my party.
07:23Alright.
07:24I could hear George Appleby say that he was opening the door and I...
07:29I kind of remember thinking there's no way that you could be opening the door right now from over there.
07:34I don't hear the walking mechanism moving and I hear your voice in another place inside of that room.
07:39Well, walk out and you don't.
07:43His words and actions...
07:44are not matching.
07:45If she was free, she would have came to the door herself and unlocked it.
07:48You're just trying to say...
07:49do whatever you can to get us to go away.
07:54Come on.
07:55Come on.
07:56Come on.
07:57Come on.
07:58Come on.
07:59Come on.

08:40Come on.
08:41Come on.
08:42Come on.
08:43that we were working in, so it became hard to get the room to work it.
08:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:53Hands up! Hands up!
08:58Hands up! Hands up!
09:03Hands up!

09:35Go!
09:36Go!
09:37Go!
09:38or we have to shoot him to save Anita.
09:48You can see her neck is bleeding.
09:50You can see that he still has the knife pressed against her body.
09:53At one point, Anita does move her head and they kind of separate, which gives me the...
09:58...opportunity to take a safe shot.
10:01Get her out.
10:03Go, go.
10:04Come on.
10:06Come on.
10:07You got her.
10:08Here.
10:09Roger, come with me.
10:10Yep, we're good.
10:11You two got this.
10:12Got it.
10:13Go.
10:13Come with me, Rob.
10:15Immediately following the two shots that were fired...
10:18...the rest of the officers on scene rushed in to grab Anita and get her.
10:23...out of there.
10:24We know that she needs medical attention.
10:27Fifty...
10:28Twenty-nine-year-old George Appleby has a rap sheet including domestic violence, drug...
10:33...trafficking, and assault.
10:35He is confirmed dead at the scene.
10:38He's still going to be the victim in this.
10:39He's got a laceration to her neck.
10:40He's still going to be the victim in this.
10:41He's got a laceration to her neck.
10:44Ó¨
10:45You need to notify Unit 260 in 234, and you're...
10:48246, code 18.
10:50It might be done with that.
10:52I didn't treat her.
10:53Yeah.
10:53Yeah.
10:56You good?
10:57Yeah.
10:58You guys good?
10:59Yeah, we're good.
11:00We're all good.
11:02EMT.
11:03Okay.
11:06Following the shooting after we got back out.
11:08Outside.
11:09That was really when the...
11:13the seriousness of the situation really hit me.
11:15That's when my heart rate felt like it was up super high.
11:18And, you know, a little bit shaky for a half a second.
11:21And just needed to take that minute to...
11:23breathe and calm down.
11:26Have him secure his weapon.
11:28And he stays with you now.
11:30The two of you stay together.
11:31Hey, shut everything off.
11:33He stays with you.
11:34The two of you stay together.
11:35Secure your weapon.
11:36Gotcha.
11:38How did you catch us.
11:39How many looks...
11:40Oh.
11:41I was younger.
11:42Have a good information.
11:43Where did you sendvent quê?
11:44Oh.
11:50Okay.
11:51Z in you here.
11:52For more information.
12:06That thing I want...
12:07sit here and say, you train for it, but also
12:12you don't know that you'll ever actually be in that position, but
12:17it is definitely a heavy thing taking someone else's life.
12:22All right? Hey, everybody's okay.
12:27Step in here, take your vest off and sit down.
12:32The five responding officers are all honored for their bravery.
12:37They receive the 2024 Top Cops Award from the National Association of
12:42Police Organizations in recognition of their handling of the incident.
12:48Ultimately, I'm very happy, you know, with the outcome.
12:51You know, we worked together.
12:52Extremely well, and I'm proud of the work that we did.
12:55You know, while we ended up having to take a
12:57life, we did rescue a hostage.
12:59What we're asked to do is rescue people.
13:02In harm's way.
13:03And, you know, we did our job of the day.
13:07In harm's way.
13:08In harm's way.
13:09In harm's way.
13:10In harm's way.
13:12In harm's way.
13:13In harm's way.
13:14In harm's way.
13:15In harm's way.
13:17In harm's way.
13:18In harm has made.
13:19In harm's way.
13:20In harm's way.
13:21In harm's way.
13:22In flaw is failed to deceive people from the utmost bayan-
13:22There's a car that just went
13:27through looking in cars, trying to open them, Toyota Corolla 4-door.
13:32In
13:37Marine Auto's suspects, they're usually involved in more than just breaking.
13:42And they will do what's necessary to prevent
13:47themselves from being caught.
13:52As I'm going down the hill...
13:57I see the car that was described to us.
14:07They know I'm there now.
14:23Change of plans right now.
14:241080.
14:261080 was...
14:27The code for war and pursuit.
14:29It is extremely important to keep...
14:32...my stress levels down.
14:3380 is now...
14:3450 more plans here.
14:3580 is now...
14:3650 more plans here.
14:37It is now...
14:41As the vehicle...
14:42approaches the intersection.
14:43Peachtree Sergeant Keith Isaac is ready and waiting.
14:47Do you want to line it up?
14:48I had been sitting at the intersection, Highway 54.
14:52In Planetaire for a couple of seconds.
14:56Range of plans ready.
14:57I'm Ted A, eastbound on Highway 54, Planetaire.
15:02When I hear 1080, my adrenaline starts.
15:07I'm Ted A, eastbound on Highway 54.
15:12I'm Ted A, eastbound on Highway 54.
15:14I'm Ted A, eastbound on Highway 54.
15:17Vehicles in the opposite lane of travel.
15:22My mind, like, oh my god.
15:25This is bad.
15:27We've got to get this car started.
15:32They're all stopped.
15:34The pit maneuver is the best option out there.
15:37that we have, it feels like
15:42the time is slowing down, it's almost like a video game.
15:47We've got that 34, 74, 85 miles an hour.
15:52We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
15:57We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
16:02When I see the car hit the curb,
16:05I'm thinking that we've got...
16:07I know that there are...
16:12a couple more officers right behind me.
16:17We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
16:19We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
16:22My assumption is that those two are going...
16:27we need to go in and pin the vehicle in
16:29so that it can't go any further.
16:32The passenger door opens up and the passenger...
16:37looks like they're about to take off running across traffic.
16:42and then it's gone too far.
16:43We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
16:45We've got that 34, 85 miles an hour.
16:46We've got that 34.
16:47Sergeant Isaac catches up with the personnel.
16:52As I am approaching the intersection, I can see off.
16:57Officer Aikens made contact with the vehicle.
17:02The vehicle begins to move forward.
17:05They are not giving up.
17:07I saw the passenger door open.
17:12He's like, okay, all right, I'm going to ram it.
17:17I'm going to ram it.
17:38in the wheel that is crooked, 100%
17:43to confirm the fact that these guys weren't gonna stop.
17:48They're on tape.
17:52When I...
17:53When I rammed the vehicle, I then became the primary officer.
17:58Okay, we're in it now. We gotta stop it.
18:03Okay, we're going to see how bad you're doing with top tires.
18:08As I was behind the vehicle, I attempted to...
18:13She pitted again.
18:16Ah, shit!
18:18Slide into the tabillion truck.
18:23It was just a clip.
18:25I'm thankful for that.
18:28This can end badly.
18:30We don't have control of...
18:33But we try to end it as soon as possible.
18:38And take that control back before someone gets hurt.
18:43I'll be right back.
18:45We're in it.
18:47Oh, my God.
18:48there wasn't no time to think about nothing it was showtime
18:53hey get on the ground get on the ground
18:58two men jump out of the car
19:03and take off running
19:08I see that sergeant
19:13Isaac is chasing after the male on foot
19:15the other male goes the opposite direction
19:18and trying to parallel the suspect in my vehicle
19:21we got one running
19:23it's about to be a bad mother day for you
19:28you better stop right there
19:30I'm gonna sit my dog

19:40and my dog is going to bite him
19:43I did not have a dog at the time
19:46I don't have a dog now
19:48it was almost instantaneous of me saying that

20:08Yep. That sucks for you. You shouldn't have ran.
20:13Just you, Anthony. You got any weapons on you, Anthony?
20:18You hurt?
20:20No.
20:21Alright.
20:23It's good.
20:24Yeah, I'm good, bro.
20:26I'm just glad you respect the game.
20:28A lot of times, criminals like to play the...
20:33...the victim.
20:34And they don't take responsibility for their actions.
20:38He respected the fact that he had been caught.
20:43And that he had given up.
20:47But we still had one...
20:48...one outstanding.
20:49We got one running...
20:52...past the post.
20:53...offense towards 74.
20:58...in the track.
20:59And that we can make that happen.
21:01Makes sense.
21:02Very, very cool.
21:03I'll watch it.
21:04I hope you'll start from a video.
21:05But I'm glad you're doing it.
21:06Bye.
21:07And.
21:08I will check out for a report.
21:09You'll go see.

21:24Bye.
21:25Bye.
21:26Bye.
21:27Bye.
21:03Orange pants, green hoodie, black, green.
21:08Everybody's going into the oil block.
21:12The suspect.
21:13Ran across highway 74 into a wooded area.
21:18Tracking someone in a bar.
21:23It's very difficult.
21:28A lot of places to hide.
21:33We don't know if they're armed or even ready to fight.
21:38Sir, do you see a male with the orange pants run?
21:42Black male.
21:43In that area, you have garages.
21:47You have...
21:48You have wooded area.
21:49You have storage units.
21:52I don't have...
21:53I don't have anything to protect me other than what's around me.
21:56Where are we going?
21:57Alright, so...
21:58Black rail.
21:59To be honest with you, after he jumped the guard rail, by the time we...
22:03got there and stopped traffic for us to cross, we had lost eyes.
22:09Sir, does anybody run by here?
22:10Black male, orange pants?
22:12Black male?
22:13Black male.
22:14Black male?
22:15Probably...
22:166-62.
22:17Boys.
22:18wet these stocky buildings. As the two officers begin a search of the woods,
22:23and surrounding properties, Patrol Commander Lieutenant Hyatt is briefed on the situation.
22:28Luckily, our 10-9 officer was nearby and responded to the area immediately.
22:33He was able to get his canine partner on the ground and begin tracking.
22:36Typically, we try to saturate the area.
22:38I went back to the woods, back by the pool, thinking he's hiding back here.
22:43Somewhere, maybe.
22:44The moment that those subjects lay on foot, danger doesn't subside.
22:48It changes.
22:49It's a whole different set of factors you're dealing with.
22:53Most of the time, they are armed.
22:5510-4, we chased all the way through Twig's Corner.
22:58Lost them in here somewhere.
22:59How are you doing, sir?
23:00How are you doing?
23:01How are you standing here?
23:03Have you seen African-American running through here?
23:05I have not.
23:06All right, thanks, man.
23:08Hey, 65, swing a left and take that perimeter on that side.
23:12I'll go left again.
23:1320 minutes into the search,
23:18there's still no sign of the suspect.
23:20But officers aren't done yet.
23:24Hey, did you see a guy in a green hoodie, orange pants?
23:27Yeah, I can see.
23:28He's laying right over there.
23:30I just checked.
23:31I thought it was a dead body.
23:34Where at?
23:35Where at?
23:36Where at?
23:37Right.
23:38Where did it in the culvert?
23:42Where did it in the culvert?
23:43Just past the bushings, that doesn't matter.
23:48It's 2165 radio, did you catch that location?
23:53On the left.
23:58I was just notified by a passerby that the subject is laying in some bushes right here at this house.
24:03I'm sorry.
24:04I'm sorry.
24:05I'm sorry.
24:07I'm sorry.
24:08By the way.
24:13You
24:18You
24:23The
24:27Suspect
24:27Still
24:28Hasn't
24:28Been
24:28Found
24:29But
24:29Officers
24:30Know
24:30He
24:30Must
24:31Be
24:31Close
24:31By
24:33That
24:35Subject
24:36Was
24:36Contained
24:37A
24:37Little
24:37Bit
24:38We
24:39Had
24:39The
24:39Perimeter
24:39Set
24:40Up
24:40K9
24:42Gets
24:42There
24:43And
24:43Their
24:44Job
24:44Is

24:58I doubt she's the subject of it.
25:13Where, where, where, where?
25:18Which way?
25:19Which way?
25:20Which way?
25:21Which way?
25:23Which way?

25:41Which way?
25:42When the suspects, when they...
25:47People taken into custody, it was very relieving.
25:52I do research in a vehicle, and I find all types of evidence to support that these...
25:57Two gentlemen were committing in-ring autos.
26:00I find rubber...
26:02These are gloves, a window punch, which are commonly used to...
26:07Bust out windows.
26:10And then I find in the back...
26:12To the vehicle, purses and wallets containing personal items such as...
26:17Credit cards, driver's licenses, and the fact that they are keeping...
26:22People's credit cards makes me believe that they're also planning to use this information.
26:27For fraudulent activity.
26:32I want to say something first.
26:33I'd like to get everything together next to you.
26:36We need something.
26:37Okay, swing around back, slide your boat up on the chair.
26:42Okay, just stealing...
26:43Both men plead guilty to multiple charges, including...
26:47...of custody fraud, and obstruction of an officer.
26:50Anthony Dixon is sentenced...
26:52...to three years in prison, and seven years probation.
26:55Anisha Christopher...
26:57His father is sentenced to two years in prison, and eight years probation.
27:02entering auto is a serious crime some people may leave a firearm in their
27:07car and their firearm gets stolen and now it's in the hands of a criminal.
27:12They can steal your identity, empty out your bank accounts.
27:17It's the start of a larger crime.
27:22Being a vehicle, it is a taillight, but after that, everybody was...
27:27fine. Overall, nobody got hurt.
27:32The officers are going home, the suspects are going to jail, and I'm okay with that.
27:37The officers are going to jail, and they're going to jail, and they're going to jail.
27:42The officers are going to jail.
27:47You
27:52Fire 9-1-1, what's the address of the emergency?
27:55There's a woman right up to me.
27:57Are you screaming because there's someone stuck on the side of the cliff?
28:00Oh my god.
28:02There's a really sheer drop on the side of a rock on the side of the cliff.
28:05It's a large drop.
28:07Clive, did you see what happened?
28:10Everything split out from underneath of it now.
28:13We have a full response coming.
28:16They're coming!
28:17Stay!
28:22The local fire department is dispatched to the scene.
28:25But the rescue needs to come.
28:27The rescue needs to come from the air.
28:2959 miles away, the Sonoma County shore
28:32Sheriff's helicopter team is called into action.
28:36Our helicopter program...
28:37The program's a little unique.
28:38Law enforcement is our primary mission, but we also have search...
28:42and rescue.
28:43The subject is about 50 feet off the top of...
28:47the trail and was clinging to the cliffs below.
28:50We better get there fast.
28:52This is a life or death situation and time is of the essence.
28:5725 minutes after receiving the 911 call, the helicopter...
29:02the helicopter team arrives at the cliff and starts its search.
29:05The helicopter team arrives at the cliff and starts its search.
29:07The Southern Marin Fire Department had arrived a little bit before we did.
29:12There was a firefighter at the top of the cliff that was pointing a flashlight down.
29:15So I started using...
29:17I started using the thermal camera to scan the cliffs.
29:19I started using the thermal camera to scan the cliffs.
29:22I still need aonds per place for a ride.
29:23To the mergers, I started using the Ellie and Mars...
29:26who cut it off for this collusion.
29:27I can't put it in the sheet.
29:28I saw it and needed next week.
29:29I saw it coming together today before we started in the shooting,
29:31I can't imagine that they were outside flying in the hammers nearly a while.
29:32So, I caught my ground.
29:34I was out of the precaution in the river.
29:36Going back to the Philippines, I spotted the Naegan
29:46before 2 and 3.
29:48Let me see.
29:50Uh much more.
29:51clinging to the cleft waiting for help at the clip
29:56on the lift-top is the man's partner, Tasha, who called 911.
30:01It was late afternoon and we started walking down the beach.
30:06Cody decided that this...
30:11Cliff looked just so enticing and that he should climb it.
30:16I could see that chunks of dirt and sand were starting to slide off.
30:21There were rocks that had started to crumble.
30:25He just...
30:26He just turned.
30:27He didn't say anything and he just shook his head, no.
30:29And I knew he was stuck.
30:31It was very high.
30:37A fall like that...
30:38I don't know how he would have survived something like that.
30:41If I'm honest...
30:46There was a spiral of thought.
30:52How do you explain this?
30:53How do I call his mother and tell her like...
30:56Cody fell and he's paralyzed or worse yet he's...
31:01He's dead.
31:04Cody meets me on the porch.
31:06Every day when I get home.
31:07Every day when I get home.
31:08Every day when I get home.
31:11No one would have been there.
31:12No one would have been there.
31:16No one would have been there.
31:17No one would have been there.
31:21How come?
31:21Oh, God.
31:26There are going to be...
31:31The landing was set up for a long line.
31:33That's going to be our primary plan.
31:36The landing was set up for a long line.
31:41Our helicopter unit, we use what's called...
31:46Vertical Reference Long Line.
31:49We're one of the only aircraft...
31:51...in the nation that can do that.
31:56What I do is I hook a 100- or 200-foot rope.
32:01Up to the bottom of the belly of the aircraft.
32:06We remove the door of the helicopter so that the pilot can look...
32:11...down and maneuver the helicopter in order to put us into the correct position.
32:16We'll see you next time.
32:17We'll see you next time.
32:18Bye.
32:21Bye.
32:22Bye.
32:26Bye.
32:27Bye.
32:31Bye.
32:32Bye.

32:56Bye.
32:57Bye.
32:58Bye.
32:59Bye.
33:00Bye.
32:56stress you're going to start over controlling the aircraft and making things worse
33:01so
33:06I'd be advised everyone is attempting a tick
33:09anything like an attempt
33:11I'd be happy to see you next time
33:16Every time I go on the line, I'm still a little bit nervous.
33:21My fear was that he was just going to let go.
33:26Or he was going to lose his footing and slide and fall down the cliff.
33:31We need to be fast, but we need to be smooth so we don't...
33:36...blow him off the cliff.
33:41We need to go on the cliff.
33:46We need to go on the cliff.
33:51We need to go on the cliff.
33:56We need to go on the cliff.
34:01We need to go on the cliff.
34:06Yeah, we have to go on the cliff.
34:07We need to go on the cliff.
34:08We have to go on the cliff.
34:09We need to go on the cliff.
34:10Let's go on the cliff.
34:11You
34:16As Pilot Cooper was flying me into Cody's location, I started to get a spin on the monitor.
34:21I'm on the lines.
34:27Rotor wash coming from the helicopters.
34:29The air as it comes off the rotor...
34:31It kind of spins in a spiral.
34:36I'm on the line.
34:37I'm on the line.
34:38I'm on the line.
34:39I'm on the line.
34:41I'm on the line.
34:46I kept trying to reach out and grab the cliff.
34:51I kept trying to reach out.
34:56Helicopters by nature are very unstable.
34:59They are also very, very sensitive.
35:01In the controls.
35:06The biggest thing that I have to worry about is not smashing Larry.
35:11I kept going to Cody, knocking him off the cliff and killing him.
35:16I kept trying to reach out.
35:21I kept trying to reach out.
35:26I kept trying to reach out.
35:31You
35:36You
35:41You
35:46You
35:51You
35:53You
35:55You
35:57You
35:59You
36:01You
36:03You
36:05You
36:07You
35:56And as soon as I got close enough, I could grow up.
36:01Grab onto the cliff myself.
36:03Don't let go man, don't let go, okay?
36:06Don't let go.
36:11I'm just hopefully seconds away from rescuing him.
36:16And there's still a lot that can go wrong.
36:19I was having kind of trouble finding...
36:21...my footing, so I was sliding a little bit as I was behind him.
36:26So...
36:36The ebbing tide below the helicopter was making it really tricky to hold my position.
36:41You know, the nighttime adds an increase.
36:46It's so...
36:51It's so dark out there.
36:52You have nothing but what's on the helicopter.
36:54In my mind, as I'm seeing them...
36:59...lower this guy to retrieve Cody from the side of the cliff, for me...
37:04...it felt like this finish line.
37:07Like, okay.
37:08He's right behind us.
37:09He has to be close to getting him.
37:13Sean, let's go!
37:14Find your left hand in here, brother!
37:19There you go!
37:20All right, here!
37:21Right here, Drew!
37:22There you go!
37:23It's a risk trying to pull his hands off.
37:27My fear was...
37:28...is that his hands and his body are the only thing that's keeping him from sliding down and falling off this...
37:33...life clef!
37:34Okay, grab your cross and we lift up, okay?
37:38Good luck!
37:43Good to go up.
37:48I got you, brother.
37:52I could obviously...
37:53I couldn't tell that Cody was scared.
37:56And, you know, so I told him,
37:57I got you.
37:58I got you, brother.
37:58Just trying to kind of calm him a little bit.
38:03When the line went tight
38:06and they came off the cliff,
38:08I actually did a big exhale in the aircraft.
38:13I got you, brother.
38:18I got you, brother.
38:23I got you.
38:28I got you.
38:30I got you.
38:32I got you.
38:33I got you.
38:37I got you.
38:38I got you.
38:40I got you.
38:42I got you.
38:44I got you.
38:46I got you.
38:48I got you.
38:50I got you.
38:52I got you.
38:54I got you.
38:56I got you.
38:58I got you.
38:59I got you.
39:00I got you.
39:01I got you.
39:02I got you.
39:03I got you.
39:04I got you.
39:05I got you.
39:06I got you.
39:07I got you.
39:08I got you.
39:09I got you.
39:10I got you.
39:11I got you.
39:12I got you.
39:13I got you.
39:14I got you.
39:15I got you.
39:16I got you.
39:17I got you.
39:18I got you.
39:19I was talking to one of the emergency personnel and I turned and I saw...
39:22Cody walking and it was this
39:27multiple sensations as this entire experience has been, all these different feelings.
39:32My arms were shaking, my legs were still a little bit shaky, and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
39:37I had these scrapes on my legs.
39:42Don't let go, man. Don't let go, okay? Don't let go.
39:47The base of your home together is different bricks from each of you and.
39:52You think about losing your life partner like that, how do you continue?
39:57To build a house with bricks from two people if there's only one.
40:02You think about losing your life partner like that?
40:07I've reflected back on that moment, just wishing I wouldn't have done it.
40:12I'm definitely grateful for the, the rescuers.
40:17You know, without them, I may not be here today.
40:22You know, without them, I may not be here today.
40:27I got you, boss.
40:32I got you, boss.
40:36I'm going to go back up to the yer.
40:36I got you, boss.
40:37I don't know.
40:42You
40:47This rescue was very challenging.
40:52Afterwards, when you kind of ponder it, like, man, this, you know, this kid was in a really...
40:57bad situation, and, you know, it very well could have been life or death.
41:01That's what...
41:02And then you start to kind of feel a little proud, like, we just accomplished this.
41:07I'm adamant that if Cody was unable to hang on that night, he...
41:12he probably wouldn't have survived.
41:16There's...
41:17There's obvious risks in everything that we do, but at the end of the day, when you do...
41:22rescue somebody or save someone's life, those risks are well worth it, and...
41:27you know, I would put myself at risk every single day to continue doing that.
41:32There's...
41:33There's...
41:34There's...
41:36There's...
41:37There's...
