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 could 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
00:35about how I handle things between us.
00:39And I'm ashamed.
00:40My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man,
00:42and I fell down.
00:45And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people,
00:46and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:52With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito
00:54from El Plateau.
00:59Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:18Oh, God, 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, you 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,
01:58it lives there now.
01:59We're well past that.
02:00I'm aware.
02:02This 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
02:18until all the boxes are gone.
02:21That's nice.
02:23Look, if we rush the process,
02:25we're just going to make a mistake
02:26that we'll have to go back and fix later.
02:27So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully,
02:32then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:34Okay.
02:39Yeah, the shelters were full,
02:41and 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,
02:49even if it's just to find a place to sleep.
02:51You don't understand that.
02:53All right.
02:54Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:56Oh, okay.
02:59Face the camera.
03:00Stand still.
03:02To your right.
03:03I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked,
03:06so 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
03:17in just a couple of hours.
03:18Okie dokie.
03:20Is there any food?
03:21Um, 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, um, that's okay.
03:40You don't have to do that.
03:41Uh, it's no problem.
03:42You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:45Trust me.
03:46You know, after I blew out my knee in my place,
03:48it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:51I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression
03:54until, 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...
04:02I can do that myself.
04:02What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
04:10After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:12I couldn't play football again, so why bother...
04:14Professionally.
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.
04:28I'm not saying it's the same.
04:29Yes, you are, Miles.
04:30You didn't go to the NFL.
04:33You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:35But 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.
05:04I-I didn't mean anything by that.
05:05You're right.
05:07I don't know what you're going through.
05:11But I want to.
05:13So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:20Oh, no.
05:21What?
05:23Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:27That'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!
05:51Yeah, what's up?
05:57You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Cain?
05:59Well, that's the name he gave me.
06:01He didn't have any idea, though.
06:03There 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 Cain's.
06:21Yeah.
06:27The 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.
06:45So what do we have on our suspect?
06:46Literally nothing.
06:47He says his name is Ezra Cain.
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.
07:01I haven'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, anything you get in your questioning,
07:41it's admissible.
07:42The key is not to push.
07:43Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:46Okay, the second that he suspects that you are on to 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.
08:10Mm-hmm.
08:10Yeah.
08:16Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.
08:34Sorry, I thought you said I was going to cite out?
08:36Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things,
08:42credit cards that do not belong to you.
08:43Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time.
08:48You know, like, along the way, people drop them, people throw them out by accident, and
08:53I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:57I just, I get so hungry.
08:59I get it, but I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the
09:04DA's office.
09:05Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:09Could 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
09:16me.
09:17No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, let's get started.
09:24Uh, I'm sorry.
09:25I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol and not a fancy
09:32detective.
09:34Well, get me wrong.
09:35I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some fascinating
09:41people.
09:42Like me.
09:43Yes.
09:44We'll see.
09:46Okay.
09:47Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security number
09:53or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity, and if you want the DA's office
09:58to play nice, that is not going to fly.
10:01Would you believe I don't know the first and I don't have the second?
10:04No.
10:05Yeah.
10:05I didn't get the best start in life.
10:08Didn't know dad.
10:10Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:12If I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:17Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade, and at some point somebody just
10:24picked a birthday for me, and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
10:29What, what was it?
10:30I think it's like January 6th of 82 or maybe 83, and.
10:36Okay.
10:36Yeah.
10:37And were you born in Los Angeles?
10:40Yeah.
10:40Were you?
10:42You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:44Oh.
10:45East Coast.
10:46Pennsylvania.
10:46Right.
10:47That, that makes more sense.
10:48I'm from Idaho.
10:50I got to say, growing up in Idaho was pretty hard.
10:52Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
10:57I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:59Last name, Kane with a K, first name Ezra.
11:03Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
11:09Thanks.
11:10The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:14Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could
11:18just warm up a little bit.
11:19When was that?
11:20I'm sorry.
11:22I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:25Yeah.
11:26No, listen.
11:26We're getting there.
11:28Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA, but if you are in a hurry,
11:35I can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:37No.
11:37No need to be like that.
11:39I, I, yeah.
11:41Um, 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.
11:51All right.
11:53Excuse me?
11:57Ah, Jan, thank you very much.
11:59Got you something more substantive to eat?
12:01Great.
12:03Okay.
12:05Let's get to the credit cards.
12:06Yeah?
12:09Great.
12:09Thanks.
12:10We have the credit card records.
12:12All right.
12:17Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:20One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premier Motel, and a dollar amount suggests
12:25that he still has the room.
12:27Hot damn.
12:30It's everyone's worst nightmare.
12:32Waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your house.
12:35Yeah.
12:36And yet, it's statistically the least likely way to get murdered by a psychopath.
12:41I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:44Is there a problem?
12:45Hi.
12:46Have you seen this man?
12:50Room 216.
12:52So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
12:56Not that we should have, but, you know, just, uh, with my sister's case and everything,
13:00I think you've been all up in my trauma, and...
13:02You know what?
13:05I'm sorry.
13:05I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:07No, hey, listen.
13:08It's fine.
13:08It's natural to be curious.
13:09I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma, so...
13:13Copy.
13:18Police!
13:22Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
13:28Clear.
13:32There's nowhere for you to go.
13:41Come out.
13:45All right, step out.
13:47No.
13:48You need to go.
13:49Yeah, we're not going to do that.
13:51Come out of the tub, please.
13:53I'm fine.
13:55He's going to come back.
13:57You have to go.
13:58He's going to come back.
14:02You...
14:02You have to go.
14:05You have to go.
14:07Please.
14:08Is your name Samantha?
14:11Please, just...
14:12Samantha.
14:15Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
14:18He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:19I promise.
14:20I promise.
14:20It is not fair.
14:28I came clean to everyone.
14:30I've confessed every lie, every sin.
14:33And nobody's forgiven me for anything that I've done.
14:37Half the people that I called, they hang up on me.
14:40My dad, my dad won't even take my calls.
14:44You really haven't changed at all.
14:46Excuse me?
14:46You're doing the same thing you always have.
14:48You're not considering anyone else's experience.
14:51You lied to everyone about almost everything.
14:55Over and over again.
14:56Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
15:01What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
15:04It's going to take a lot more than an apology tour to fix that.
15:07I suck.
15:09I get it.
15:12Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
15:15I see you never.
15:15Thanks for breakfast.
15:16Get out of here.
15:18My parents.
15:24You have to call my parents.
15:25You have to tell them that I'm okay.
15:28Yeah, of course.
15:29The doctor will take good care of you.
15:31Please.
15:35She doesn't know they're dead.
15:38I mean, he kept her isolated.
15:40She only knows what he told her.
15:41Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
15:42I wasn't thinking.
15:43Hey, look, it was instinct, all right?
15:45Try not to beat yourself up.
15:46She's in shock.
15:48It wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
15:49It'll be fine.
15:50You haven't eaten much problem with the sandwich?
15:59No, no, this is great.
16:00I'm just, you know what it is?
16:01I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:03Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
16:07Sorry to interrupt.
16:08Can I steal you for a sec?
16:09Of course.
16:10Excuse me.
16:11Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston inside Ezra's motel room.
16:18Is she, uh...
16:19She's alive and in no immediate medical danger.
16:22But beyond that...
16:23Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
16:25Not yet.
16:26There's still room for you to squeeze in before everything comes out into the open.
16:29Go back in there and turn up the heat.
16:31Tell them we found a few recent charges on the various cards, mention the motel,
16:35but not like we've gone there or even that we will.
16:37And let's just see what happens.
16:41Right.
16:44This changes the profile, doesn't it?
16:47He kept that girl for three years.
16:49That...
16:50He's not just a murderer.
16:52No.
16:53He's worse.
17:02Sorry about that.
17:03Yeah, everything okay?
17:06I'm gonna be straight with you, Ezra.
17:08We ran those credit cards.
17:10And we found some recent charges.
17:12One of them being to a motel in Tytown.
17:16Well, hold on.
17:18When was the motel booked?
17:20Because that wasn't me.
17:22I mean...
17:22Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
17:26So you're telling me, if I went to this motel with your photograph, you would not be recognized?
17:33Absolutely not.
17:34No.
17:36I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
17:38I mean, surely the LAPD has better things to do than spend resources on a wobbler that's 100% gonna plead out.
17:46Call him my bluff.
17:49Look, I know I've got a job to do.
17:52I'm just a guy trying to make his way in an unfair world without hurting anyone.
17:59Can you explain something for me?
18:04Why didn't she leave?
18:05Yeah.
18:06I mean, I know what they taught us in the academy, but...
18:08I mean, he left her alone for at least 12 hours.
18:11It's the opposite of fight or flight.
18:13You know, it's freeze and appease.
18:15You saw how scared she was of him.
18:17That level of fear, it's her primary motivator.
18:20Maybe her only one.
18:21Hey.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:26I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives conduct a more formal interview.
18:33Okay.
18:34Okay.
18:42I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been, so I'm not gonna assume that you remember anything, all right?
18:48The man who took you, we have him in custody.
18:52Ezra Cain is the name that he's using.
18:54Is that how you know him?
18:54I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:56Who said that?
18:57Him?
18:59Yeah, I get it.
19:00Samantha, you're safe now.
19:04You are.
19:09Did you talk to my parents?
19:11Are they coming?
19:12Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
19:20No.
19:22No.
19:23I'm so sorry.
19:23No.
19:23What happened to them?
19:25Did he kill them?
19:26No.
19:26No, they're alive.
19:28He said they have to be alive.
19:30He said that...
19:32Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
19:35Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
19:37No.
19:37No.
19:37No.
19:37No.
19:37No.
19:38No.
19:38No.
19:38No.
19:39No.
19:39No.
19:39No.
19:40No.
19:40No.
19:41No.
19:41No.
19:45Yeah.
19:46Amen.
19:47He made me call him Amen, the seventh spirit.
19:52Marquis of Hell, who commands 40 legions, including the police.
20:05And he said that I was his soulmate.
20:10None of that is true.
20:11especially the police part but it doesn't make any of that less terrifying do you remember the
20:19night that he took you the screams woke me up I thought it was the TV so I went out into the
20:31hall just to ask my parents if they could turn it down there there was this smell in the air and it
20:47just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up so I called out and that's when he stepped into
20:55the hall I couldn't really see you but I just I knew in my body that he was evil does that sound
21:16crazy no no where did he take you a cabin in the woods or at least it used to be I mean I don't
21:30think anyone had lived there for years but that was my home for the next eight months do you remember
21:41why you guys moved winter came he has this thing about being cold and by then by then he knew I
21:50wasn't gonna run okay um I think I have what I need for now thank you I'm gonna let you get some rest
21:59okay uh he he bought a car after we got to LA I don't I don't know if that matters yeah no it sure
22:10does do you remember what kind of car it was um it was old four doors black so he would have taken
22:19that car when he left the motel then yeah did he tell you where he was going no he just said that
22:25he may be a while and uh that he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl
22:33did he say something else Samantha
22:40he said he was getting ready for after after after what I thought he meant
22:51I thought he meant after me you felt like he was getting ready to kill you
22:58part of me was really relieved because because at least it would finally be over
23:09you
23:16you
23:18you
23:20you
23:22you
23:24you
23:28you
23:30you
23:32Hey, Scott to the motel.
23:46Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha.
23:47Our guy's got a car.
23:48Make and model?
23:49Black four-door sedan. Old.
23:51It's not particularly helpful.
23:53Find any trophies in the room?
23:54Uh, not yet. I'm waiting for TID to land
23:56before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
23:58But, you know, I did find some drawings
24:00that have me freaked out a little.
24:01Freaked you out. This I gotta see.
24:03Yeah, hold on.
24:11Yeah, that's not okay.
24:14Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
24:17Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
24:19No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
24:21Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon,
24:24one of the marquees of hell.
24:30Everything okay?
24:31I was wrong.
24:37This is taking too long,
24:41which means you did send somebody to the motel.
24:44Why would you waste your time with a transient
24:46who stole a bunch of credit cards?
24:49Well, this started long before we found out
24:51about the motel, Ezra.
24:55Fingerprints.
24:55Credit where credit's due.
25:07You've got that aw, shucks,
25:09everyman cop thing down pat,
25:11and I bought it for too long.
25:13That's on me.
25:13But I bet that there are cops
25:16way up higher on the food chain
25:18behind that mirror
25:19that are just dying to get in here,
25:21little pigs.
25:22little pigs.
25:27Get your asses in here.
25:30I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:33I'm ready for the main course.
25:34There they are.
25:40You must be the prosecutor.
25:41Wesley Evers.
25:42I'm Detective Lopez.
25:43This is Detective Harper.
25:45Is it okay if we call you Ezra,
25:46or do you prefer Amon?
25:50Someone's been talking out of school.
25:52I'm gonna readvise you of your rights,
25:54including the right to have an attorney present.
25:56Not necessary yet.
25:57I'll let you know.
25:58Can I have a moment?
25:59Yeah.
26:02What?
26:03No goodbye.
26:09I'm gonna go check out the rec center
26:10where I found him.
26:11Something isn't adding up.
26:12Agreed.
26:13But before you go,
26:14any insights that you might have
26:16from sitting two feet from him
26:17that might not have translated to us
26:19through the window?
26:20Yeah.
26:21When he was talking about
26:22the cold of his childhood,
26:23that was real.
26:24You want to get him unsettled?
26:25Crank the A.C.
26:27Love it.
26:33My janitor locked up
26:34just after 10 last night.
26:35The place was empty after that.
26:37Well, this place is huge.
26:38There's no chance anybody saw
26:40or heard anything from the road.
26:43All right.
26:44This is about where I saw him.
26:47He heard me coming,
26:48and then he took off that way
26:49through those doors.
26:55Got it.
27:02Car key.
27:05I must have ditched it
27:07when he heard me coming.
27:08So what hit?
27:09Maybe he's gonna ditch the key
27:10so you didn't find the car.
27:12Well, why?
27:13I don't know.
27:13Like I said,
27:14there were no cars here
27:15when I got here this morning.
27:16I scrubbed body cam,
27:17I scrubbed dash cam,
27:19no black sedan.
27:20Whoa.
27:21I got blood.
27:22There were no visible cuts
27:23on Ezra when I processed him.
27:27Right there.
27:28Have you always known
27:30you were one of the devil's minions?
27:32Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:35Yes.
27:37Oh, your disbelief in my truth,
27:41it makes no difference
27:44as long as Samantha believes
27:45that's all that matters.
27:46Yeah, that won't last.
27:47You don't control her anymore.
27:49Hmm, how little you know.
27:51I'm gonna be with her
27:52until the day she dies,
27:53which was gonna be today.
27:56You know why?
27:57It's the real reason
27:59I was trespassing this morning.
28:04Nolan.
28:13I have found a new soulmate.
28:17He's got another girl.
28:20All right, Julie Reed
28:22was reported missing at 4 a.m.
28:24after she failed to come home
28:25from a friend's house.
28:26According to her parents,
28:27she was back and forth
28:28between the two homes all the time,
28:30and her route took her
28:30right past the rec center.
28:32Sounds like he'd been
28:32watching her for a while,
28:33planning the perfect time
28:34and place to make his move.
28:36If the suspect's car was gone
28:37when Officer Nolan
28:38arrived this morning,
28:39Ezra must have left
28:40and came back.
28:41Why would he do that?
28:41My best guess is that
28:43he left something at the scene,
28:44most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:46He only realized it
28:47after he'd left,
28:48but went back for it
28:49because he knew
28:49it would connect him
28:50to the abduction.
28:50But with a wounded girl
28:52in the trunk,
28:53he was faced with a problem.
28:54It would have been quicker
28:55to run back to the center
28:56and run inside.
28:57But that would have put him
28:58at a greater risk
28:59because if Julie was conscious
29:01and screaming her head off,
29:02it would draw a lot of attention.
29:03So he parked the car
29:04somewhere else,
29:05somewhere no one
29:05could hear her screaming,
29:07went back on foot.
29:07Right, but how far
29:09would he be comfortable walking?
29:1110 minutes, 20?
29:12The average walking pace
29:13of a healthy male
29:14is probably 2 1⁄2,
29:163 miles an hour.
29:17Any faster might draw
29:18one wanted attention.
29:19Okay, so to be safe,
29:20let's say 3 1⁄2 miles per hour
29:22for a 20-minute walk.
29:23Which means we are looking
29:24at almost a square mile
29:26search radius.
29:27It's clear from the volume
29:28of blood at the scene
29:29that she was badly wounded.
29:30She was left on her own
29:31somewhere over 8 hours ago.
29:34Every further minute
29:35that passes reduces
29:36the likelihood
29:37we will find her alive.
29:40Where is Julie Reed?
29:42Oh, is that her name?
29:44No, because we were
29:44never properly introduced
29:46and he was pleased
29:47from the AC.
29:48off.
29:49It's like a freezer in here.
29:50No problem.
29:51Just as soon as you
29:52tell us where she is.
29:53Hmm.
29:54You think I would
29:55trade my comfort
29:56for her?
29:57After all you've seen
29:58of my sacrifice?
29:59No, no, I guess not.
30:01But what would you
30:02trade for her?
30:03Now that's an
30:03interesting question.
30:06Let's see.
30:07I would say
30:08a reduced sentence,
30:09but we all know
30:10that would be
30:11a hollow promise
30:12after all that I've done.
30:14Hmm.
30:15I would love to say
30:16a proper goodbye.
30:18to fear Samantha.
30:19Not a chance in hell.
30:20That is a non-starter.
30:21There is no way
30:23we would ever let you
30:24re-traumatize that girl.
30:25I don't think you have a choice.
30:26I think you kind of
30:27have to ask her.
30:28No, we don't.
30:28Oh, yeah, no.
30:29I think Samantha would disagree.
30:31Think about it.
30:32How is Samantha going to feel
30:35when Julie dies
30:36before you tell her
30:37and Samantha realizes
30:39she could have saved
30:39that poor girl?
30:42Huh.
30:42How about this?
30:43Let's give this a shot.
30:45Tell Samantha
30:45that Julie is near
30:47the red place.
30:48And if she just talks
30:49to me for one more minute,
30:51I will tell you
30:53where that is.
30:53Sorry to interrupt.
31:02I just need to borrow
31:02Sergeant Chen.
31:03Wait, did something happen?
31:05No, no, no.
31:06I just need it for a second.
31:07I'll be just outside, okay?
31:08I'm right here.
31:13Ezra took another girl
31:14before he was arrested.
31:15He says he'll tell us
31:16where she is
31:17if we let him
31:18talk to Samantha.
31:19No, forget that.
31:20He doesn't want to help us.
31:22He just wants
31:22to keep traumatizing her.
31:23He agreed.
31:24So do Lopez and Harper,
31:25but he says
31:26that the girl's being
31:27held near the red place.
31:29And if we told that
31:30to Samantha,
31:30she'd agree to help.
31:31No, we're not saying
31:32that to her, okay?
31:33It's a trick.
31:37Samantha, open the door.
31:39What happened?
31:40The red place?
31:41I mean, it's got to be
31:41some sort of trigger phrase.
31:43He spent three years
31:43convincing her
31:44that the police
31:45were in league with him
31:46and she just heard us
31:47using his language.
32:00Let me feel this!
32:02We need medical attention!
32:04No, please, I can't feel it.
32:07I need it, Dad.
32:08Yeah?
32:09Get her up.
32:09No, I need it, Dad.
32:11I need it.
32:13No, I need it.
32:14No, I need it.
32:15No, I need it.
32:16No, I need it.
32:188-7 Adam-20,

32:56Come on!
32:56Come on!
32:57Come, come on!
32:58Come on!
32:58Let me do everything!
32:59Julie, you in there?
33:197 Lincoln 15, I have her, lower level of the garage, send an ambulance now.
33:29Hey, hey Julie, I'm officer Nolan, I'm here to help you, now I'm gonna have to put some
33:37pressure on that wound to stop the bleeding, okay, but it is going to hurt, I am so sorry.
33:42Easy.
33:43I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know, I know, you're doing great, you're doing great.
33:51She's right here, she just passed out, she's lost a lot of blood.
33:57Pulse is weak, she's in hypovolemic shock, we gotta get her out of here.
34:04Nolan.
34:05Hey.
34:06Are you alright?
34:07Yeah, um, Julie just got out of surgery, they lost her on the table for a minute but she
34:23pulled through and she's recovering in the ICU.
34:25Thank God.
34:26Can I talk to her?
34:27When 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.
34:56Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
34:59Okay.
35:01What was the, um, the red place?
35:18There 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.
35:36I 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.
35:48On it.
35:49I know.
35:50I know.
35:51It's easier said than done, but...
35:54I know what I'm talking about.
35:56You know?
35:57I want to share something with you, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
36:02Yeah.
36:03Um, so my rookie year, as a cop, I met this guy.
36:07And he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
36:12Um, we went on a date, and he kidnapped me.
36:18Um, the 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.
36:29For months afterwards, I'd 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.
36:42I wanted to believe that I was in control.
36:45But 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.
36:58Samantha, you're here.
37:05I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
37:10But I do.
37:12I really, really do.
37:14Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:19Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
37:21She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow afternoon.
37:26It's okay. Don'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.
37:35Yeah, we have your back, Samantha.
37:38For however long you need until you feel safe.
37:46Hey.
37:47Seth's here.
37:48I'll be in my room.
37:50It's good to see you, too.
37:56Just another fan.
37:57Poor you.
38:02Um...
38:03Look, you're right, man.
38:06The self-pity's got to stop.
38:08I want to do better.
38:09But clearly, I don't know how to.
38:12And you are the best guy I know, so...
38:17Will you help me?
38:18I would need radical honesty.
38:22One tiny white lie and I'm out.
38:25In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:28Still has a sense of humor.
38:30You might make it through this after all.
38:32All right.
38:35No lies.
38:36No woes.
38:37Me.
38:38Just head down.
38:39Do the work.
38:40Be grateful.
38:41Deal?
38:42Deal.
38:47Come here, brother.
38:54Surprise!
38:55Hey.
38:56Thanks.
38:57Uh...
38:58You do know it's not my birthday, right?
39:01You did forget.
39:03Uh, no.
39:04It's definitely not my birthday.
39:05No.
39:07It's a different special day.
39:12Uh, wait.
39:13No, it's...
39:15Oh, my God.
39:16It's our anniversary.
39:17It is.
39:18You forgot.
39:19And I remember.
39:21Did you?
39:23Totally.
39:24Congrats, grad.
39:25Fine.
39:26I forgot.
39:27But I had to pull this together fast.
39:29But I remember it before you did.
39:30And that's what's important.
39:31Winning.
39:32Yeah.
39:33And you know what else is super important?
39:34No.
39:35What?
39:36The kids are with my mom.
39:37Oh.
39:38Mm.
39:39Oh.
39:40Mmm.
39:41Hi.
39:42Hi.
39:43Hi, Andy.
39:44How's it going?
39:45Oh, I missed you.
39:46Oh, God.
39:47What a day.
39:48How'd it go at the hospital?
39:49It's fine.
39:50Samantha's not fine.
39:51It's fine.
39:52It's fine.
39:53I don't know.
39:54It's fine.
39:55Samantha's not fine.
39:57I'm sorry.
39:58It's fine.
39:59Yeah.
40:00It's fine.
40:01But I remember it before you did.
40:02Mm-hmm.
40:03And that's what's important.
40:04Winning.
40:05Yeah.
40:06It's fine. Samantha's asleep right now,
40:08so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
40:11Thank you. Mm-hmm.
40:13Do I smell dinner?
40:14Don't get too excited. I ordered Italian.
40:16It's in the oven. Keep it warm.
40:18Hmm. You're a hero. Hmm.
40:21Oh, God. Okay, so I need to say something,
40:25and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:28Okay.
40:30Um, after the day that I've had,
40:33I really need this place to feel like a refuge
40:36and not a UPS sorting facility.
40:38We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:41I...
40:44I agree.
40:46No time like the present. Let's do it.
40:48Wait, hold on. I'm tired.
40:50I'm... I'm very tired.
40:53I thought maybe we could have dinner,
40:55and then I would... I could... I could sit here and...
40:58and supervise.
41:00I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
41:04You can't.
41:05All right. I'll get dinner.
41:11Yep.
41:12Good work today, Officer Nolan.
41:29Thanks.
41:31How come I don't feel better about it?
41:33I think you know the answer.
41:35Yeah.
41:39Listen.
41:40We can't change what already happened.
41:43All we can do is stop it from happening again.
41:46And you did that today.
41:49In a big way.
41:51Which means...
41:53someone ought to buy you a drink.
41:56You volunteering?
41:57I am.
42:27Yeah.
42:29Damn it.
42:41Damn it.
42:44You...
42:46...
