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?
00:30Why 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.
00:39And 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?
01:18Oh, God, I hope not.
01:20What?
01:20I don't think so.
01:25I found the bacon.
01:27Fake bacon.
01:27Great.
01:30You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:33After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:36And by finish, I mean start.
01:38Oh, well, I'm...
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.
02:03This 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.
02:23Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back and fix later.
02:27So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:34Okay.
02:39Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:43I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:46Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place to sleep.
02:52You don't understand that.
02:54All 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, so it's fine, you know?
03:08And I'm sorry.
03:09I just got really desperate for...
03:12Am I going to jail or...
03:16You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:19Okie dokie.
03:21Is 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.
03:39Hey, no, no, no.
03:39That's, um, that's okay.
03:41You don't have to do that.
03:41Uh, it's no problem.
03:43You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:45Trust me.
03:46You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a frat
03:51house.
03:51I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over
03:56and insisted on cleaning.
03:58That's okay.
03:59You're not my mom.
03:59You're not my mom.
04:00I can...
04:01I can do that myself.
04:04What 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.
04:13I couldn't play football again, so why about it?
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.
04:26I lost my leg.
04:27I'm not saying it's the same.
04:29Yes, you are, Miles.
04:31You didn't go to the NFL.
04:33You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:36But you can still run.
04:38What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:51Ugh.
04:57I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:04I-I didn't mean anything by that.
05:07You'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?
05:15Oh, 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.
05:34If 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 Kane?
06:00Um, 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.
06:07A 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 Kane.
06:21Yeah.
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.
06:45So what do we have on our suspect?
06:46Literally nothing.
06:47He says his name is Ezra Kane.
06:49That could be an alias.
06:51I 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.
07:23Mm-hmm.
07:24Right.
07:26Okay.
07:32Any advice?
07:34I mean, you read him his rights.
07:36Yeah, but not for this.
07:37That 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.
07:42Nikki 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 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.
08:00Remember, go easy.
08:01The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
08:04Understood.
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.
08:31Hey, sorry to keep you awake.
08:32Sorry, I thought you said I was going to side 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.
08:44Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time.
08:48You know, like, along the way, people drop them.
08:51People throw them out by accident.
08:53And I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:57I just, I get so hungry.
08:59Yeah, I get it.
09:01But I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the DA's office.
09:05Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:10Could be a misdemeanor.
09:11Could be a felony.
09:12Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with me.
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 detective.
09:34Don't get me wrong.
09:35I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some fascinating people.
09:42Like me.
09:43Yes.
09:44We'll see.
09:45Okay.
09:46Okay.
09:47Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security number or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity.
09:56And if you want the DA's office to 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?
10:05No.
10:05Yeah.
10:06I didn't get the best start in life.
10:09Didn't know dad.
10:10Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:12I, if I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:17Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade.
10:22And at some point, somebody just picked a birthday for me.
10:26And, 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.
10:35Okay.
10:36Yeah.
10:37And where are 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.
10:47Right.
10:47That 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.
11:01First 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 then that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could just 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.
11:29Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA, but if you are in a hurry, I can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:37No.
11:37No need to be like that.
11:39I-I...
11:40Yeah.
11:41Um...
11:42I just...
11:43I'm not used to people taking an interest, and I guess, uh...
11:47It's just not easy stuff to talk about.
11:51All right.
11:53Excuse me.
11:57Ah, Jen.
11:58Thank you very much.
11:59Got you something more substantive to eat.
12:01Great.
12:03Okay.
12:05Let's get to the credit cards.
12:07Yeah?
12:09Great.
12:10Thanks.
12:11We have the credit card records.
12:17All right.
12:17Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:20One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premiere Motel, and a dollar amount suggests that 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.
12:36Yeah.
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.
12:47Have 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, I think you've been all up in my drama, and...
13:03You know what? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:07All right. Listen, it's fine. It's natural to be curious. I 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.
13:33There's nowhere for you to go. Come out.
13:46All right. Step out.
13:47No. You need to go.
13:49Yeah, we're not going to do that. Come out of the tub, please.
13:53I'm fine.
13:55He's going to come back.
13:57You have to go.
13:59He'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?
14:20I promise.
14:20It is not fair.
14:29I 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, though.
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, over and over again.
14:57Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
15:02What 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.
15:14I see you never think for breakfast.
15:16Get out of here.
15:23My 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.
15:36She 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.
15:44Hey, look.
15:44It was instinct, all right?
15:46Try not to beat yourself up.
15:47She's in shock.
15:48It wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
15:49It'll be fine.
15:57You haven't eaten much.
15:58Problem with the sandwich?
15:59No, no.
16:00This 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?
16:10Of course.
16:10Excuse me.
16:12Lucy 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.
16:23But beyond that...
16:24Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
16:26Not 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 him we found a few recent charges on the various cards.
16:34Mention the motel.
16:35But not like we've gone there or even that we will.
16:38And 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.
16:53Sorry 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 Taitown.
17:16Whoa, whoa, hold on.
17:18When was the motel, uh, booked?
17:20Because that wasn't me.
17:22Yeah, I mean...
17:22Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
17:28So 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.
17:48Call him my bluff.
17:49Look, I know I've got a job to do.
17:51I'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.
18:12It'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.
18:20It would be her only one.
18:24Hey.
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.
18:32I 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 Kane 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.
19:04Okay.
19:04Did you talk to my parents?
19:11Are they coming?
19:15Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
19:20No.
19:22No.
19:23I'm so sorry.
19:23No, what happened to them?
19:25Did he kill them?
19:26No.
19:26No, they're alive.
19:28He said they have to be alive.
19:31He said that...
19:31Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
19:35Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
19:44Yeah.
19:46Eamon.
19:46He made me call him Eamon, the Seventh Spirit, Marquis of Hell, who commands 40 legions,
19:58including 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.
20:18Do you remember the night that he took you?
20:20The screams woke me up.
20:28I thought it was the TV, so I went out into the hall just to ask my parents if they could
20:34turn it down.
20:35And there, there was this smell in the air, and it just made the hair on the back of my
20:49neck stand up.
20:52So I called out, and that's when he stepped into the hall.
20:56I couldn't really see him, but I just, I knew in my body that he was evil.
21:15Does that sound crazy?
21:17No.
21:19No.
21:19Where did he take you?
21:26A cabin in the woods, or at least it used to be.
21:30I mean, I don't think anyone had lived there for years, but that was my home for the next
21:39eight months.
21:40Do you remember why you guys moved?
21:43Winter came.
21:44He has this thing about being cold, and by then, by then he knew I wasn't gonna run.
21:53Okay, um, I think I have what I need for now.
21:58I'm gonna let you get some rest, okay?
22:02Uh, he, he bought a car.
22:05After we got to LA.
22:07I, I don't, I don't know if that matters.
22:09Yeah, no, it sure does.
22:11Do you remember what kind of car it was?
22:12Um, it, it was old, four doors, black.
22:18So he, he would have taken that car when he left the motel then?
22:21Yeah.
22:22Did he tell you where he was going?
22:23No.
22:24He just said that he may be a while, and, uh, that he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl.
22:38Did he say something else, Samantha?
22:42He said he was getting ready for after.
22:47After, after what?
22:49I thought he meant, I thought he meant after me.
22:56You 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.
23:09I don't know.
23:24I don't know.
23:27Hey, Scott's in the motel.
23:46Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha.
23:47Our guy's got a car.
23:49Make and model?
23:49Black four-door sedan. Old.
23:52That's not particularly helpful.
23:53Find any trophies in the room?
23:54Not 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.
24:02Freaked you out? This I gotta see.
24:03Yeah, hold on.
24:12Yeah, 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,
24:21it tracks Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon,
24:24one of the Marquis of Hell.
24:26Everything okay?
24:33No.
24:36I was wrong.
24:37This is taking...
24:38too long, which 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?
24:50Well, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
24:53Fingerprints.
25:04Credit where credit's due.
25:05You've got that, oh, shucks, every man 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 way up higher
25:17on the food chain behind that mirror
25:19that are just dying to get in here,
25:21little pigs.
25:23Little pigs.
25:24Get your asses in here.
25:30I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:33I'm ready for the main course.
25:37There they are.
25:38You must be the prosecutor.
25:42Wesley Evers.
25:42I'm Detective Lopez.
25:44This is Detective Harper.
25:45Is it okay if we call you Ezra,
25:47or 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.
25:58I'll let you know.
25:58Can I have a moment?
26:00Yeah.
26:02What?
26:03No goodbye.
26:09I'm gonna go check out the rec center where 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 through the window?
26:20Yeah.
26:21When he was talking about the cold of his childhood,
26:23that was real.
26:24You want to get him unsettled?
26:26Crank the A.C.
26:27Love it.
26:29The janitor locked up just after 10 last night.
26:36The place was empty after that.
26:37Well, this place is huge.
26:38There's no chance anybody saw or 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 through those doors.
26:59Got it.
27:05Car key.
27:06I must have ditched it when he heard me coming.
27:08From what hit?
27:10We were just gonna ditch the keys so you didn't find the car.
27:12Well, why?
27:13I don't know.
27:13Like I said,
27:14there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
27:16I scrubbed body cam.
27:18I scrubbed dash cam.
27:19No black sedan.
27:20Whoa.
27:21I got blood.
27:22There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed him.
27:27Right there.
27:28Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
27:32Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:35Yes.
27:35Oh, your disbelief in my truth,
27:41it makes no difference
27:44as long as Samantha believes that'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 until the day she dies,
27:53which was gonna be today.
27:57You know why?
27:58It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
28:04Nolan.
28:05I have found a new soulmate.
28:17He's got another girl.
28:21All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m.
28:24after she failed to come home from a friend's house.
28:26According to her parents,
28:27she was back and forth between the two homes all the time,
28:30and her route took her right past the rec center.
28:32Sounds like he'd been watching her for a while,
28:33planning the perfect time and place
28:35to make his move.
28:36If the suspect's car was gone
28:37when Officer Nolan arrived this morning,
28:39Ezra must have left and came back.
28:41Why would he do that?
28:42My best guess is that he left something at the scene,
28:44most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:46He only realized it after he'd left,
28:48but went back for it
28:49because he knew it would connect him to the abduction.
28:50But with a wounded girl in the trunk,
28:53he was faced with a problem.
28:54It would have been quicker to run back to the center
28:56and run inside.
28:57But that would have put him at a greater risk
28:59because if Julie was conscious and screaming her head off,
29:02it would draw a lot of attention.
29:03So he parked the car somewhere else,
29:05somewhere no one could hear her screaming.
29:07Went back on foot.
29:08Right.
29:08But how far would he be comfortable walking?
29:1110 minutes, 20?
29:12The average walking pace of a healthy male
29:14is probably two and a half, three miles an hour.
29:17Any faster might draw a lot of attention.
29:19Okay, so to be safe,
29:20let's say three and a half miles per hour
29:22for a 20-minute walk.
29:23Which means we are looking at
29:25almost a square mile search radius.
29:27It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene
29:29that she was badly wounded
29:30and she was left on her own somewhere
29:32over eight hours ago.
29:34Every further minute that passes
29:36reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
29:38Where is Julie Reid?
29:42Oh, is that her name?
29:44No, because we were never properly introduced.
29:46Can you please turn the A.C. off?
29:49It's like a freezer in here.
29:51No problem.
29:51Just as soon as you tell us where she is.
29:53Hmm.
29:54You think I would trade my comfort for her?
29:58After all you've seen of my sacrifice?
30:00No, no, I guess not.
30:01But what would you trade for her?
30:03Now, that's an interesting question.
30:06Let's see.
30:07I would say a reduced sentence,
30:09but we all know
30:10that would be a hollow promise
30:12after all that I've done.
30:14Hmm.
30:15I would love to say a proper goodbye
30:17to fair Samantha.
30:19Not a chance in hell.
30:20That is a non-starter.
30:22There is no way
30:23we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
30:25I don't think you have a choice.
30:26I think you kind of have to ask her.
30:28No, we don't.
30:28Oh, yeah, no.
30:29I think Samantha would disagree.
30:31Think about it.
30:33How is Samantha going to feel
30:35when Julie dies before you tell her
30:37and Samantha realizes
30:39she could have saved that poor girl?
30:42Huh.
30:42How about this?
30:44Let's give this a shot.
30:45Tell Samantha that Julie
30:46is near the red place.
30:48And if she just talks to me
30:50for one more minute,
30:51I will tell you where that is.
30:53Sorry to interrupt.
31:02I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
31:03Wait, did something happen?
31:05No, no, no.
31:06I just need her 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.
31:16He says he'll tell us where she is
31:17if we let him talk to Samantha.
31:19No, forget that.
31:20He doesn't want to help us.
31:22He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
31:23He agreed.
31:24So do Lopez and Harper,
31:26but he says that the girl
31:27is being held near the red place.
31:29And if we told that
31:30doesn't mean that,
31:31then she'd agree to talk.
31:31No, we're not saying that 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 convincing her
31:44that the police were in league with him
31:46and she just heard us using his language.
31:47Come on!
31:49Nick!
31:50No!
31:51Let me feel this!
32:02We need medical attention!
32:04Please!
32:05Please!
32:06I can't do it!
32:07I need a sec!
32:08Ma'am, get up!
32:09No, I need a sec!
32:12I need a sec!
32:13No!
32:14No!
32:14No!
32:15No!
32:15No!
32:16No!
32:16No!
32:17No!
32:17No!
32:18No!

33:19No, no, no.
33:207 Lincoln 15, I have her. Lower level of the garage. Set an ambulance now.
33:26Hey. Hey, Julie. I'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. Easy.
33:44I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. I know. You're doing great. You're doing great.
33:49She's right here. She just passed out. She's lost a lot of blood.
33:56Pulse is weak. She did hypovolemic shock. We gotta get her out of here.
34:01We gotta get her out of here.
34:11Nolan.
34:16Hey. Are you all right?
34:18Yeah. 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.
34:25Thank God. Can I talk to her when she's ready?
34:29Uh, I'll ask. You know, we wouldn't have found her without you. You gave us the car.
34:35I said it had wheels.
34:37And that it was black and old. I meant it. She is alive because of you.
34:42Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:45I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:51Yeah.
34:57Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
35:00Okay.
35:01What was the, um, the red place?
35:18There was this house that we stayed at early on. They had painted the bathroom red.
35:24So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
35:36I 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.
35:47Sure. On it.
35:49I know. I know. It's easier said than done, but I know what I'm talking about, you know.
35:57I want to share something with you, uh, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
36:02Yeah.
36:03Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy, and he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
36:11Um, uh, we went on a date, and he, he kidnapped me.
36:19The 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.
36:34How I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
36:42I wanted to believe that I was in control.
36:46But 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.
37:17Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:20Um, 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.
37:26It's okay. Don't worry, all right? You'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. For however long you need, until you feel safe.
37:46Hey.
37:48Seth's here. I'll be in my room.
37:50It's good to see you, too.
37:56Just another fan.
37:58Poor you.
38:02Um...
38:05Look, you're right, man. The self-pity's got to stop. I want to do better.
38:10But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so...
38:17Will you help me?
38:19I would need radical honesty.
38:23One tiny white lie, and I'm out.
38:26In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:30Still has a sense of humor.
38:32You might make it through this after all.
38:35All right. No lies, no woe with me. Just head down, do the work. Be grateful. Deal?
38:42Deal.
38:47Come here, brother.
38:54Surprise!
38:56Hey. Thanks. Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
39:01You did forget.
39:03Uh, no. It's definitely not my birthday.
39:06No. It's a different special day.
39:10Uh, wait. No, it's...
39:15Oh, my God.
39:19It's our anniversary.
39:20It is.
39:22You forgot, and I remember.
39:26Did you?
39:28Totally.
39:30Congrats, grad.
39:33Fine. I forgot. But I had to pull this together fast.
39:38But I remembered before you did, and that's what's important.
39:43Winning.
39:44Yeah. And you know what else is super important?
39:48No. What?
39:49My kids are with my mom.
39:50Oh.
39:51Mmm.
39:59Hi.
40:00Hi, honey.
40:01How's it going?
40:02Oh, I missed you.
40:04Oh, God. What a day.
40:06How'd it go at the hospital?
40:07It's fine.
40:08Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow. Thank you.
40:12Mm-hmm.
40:14Do 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.
40:20You're a hero.
40:21Hmm.
40:23Oh, God.
40:24Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:29Okay.
40:31After the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not a UPS sorting facility.
40:39We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:42I...
40:45I agree.
40:47No time like the present.
40:48Let's do it.
40:49Wait, hold on.
40:50I'm tired.
40:51I'm...
40:52I'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.
41:06All right, I'll get dinner.
41:10Yep.
41:11Good work today, Officer Nola.
41:12Thanks.
41:14How come I don't feel better about it?
41:16I think you know the answer.
41:17Yeah.
41:18Listen.
41:19We can't change what already happened.
41:20All we can do is stop it from happening again.
41:25And you did that today.
41:26In a big way.
41:27Which means...
41:28Someone ought to buy you a drink.
41:29You volunteering?
41:30I am.
41:32You volunteering?
41:33I am.
41:34I am.
41:35I am.
41:36I am.
41:37I am.
41:38I am.
41:39I am.
41:40I am.
41:41I am.
41:42I am.
41:43I am.
41:45I am.
41:51I am.
41:52I do.
41:53I am.
41:54I am.
41:55I am.
41:56I am.
41:59I am.
