00:18What are you doing here?
00:19I just want to see how you're doing.
00:21Never better.
00:24Right.
00:25Now if I come in, maybe we could talk.
00:26I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:28So?
00:30Why do you care all of a sudden?
00:32I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:38And I'm ashamed.
00:39My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man, and I fell down.
00:43And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people, and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:51With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
01:14Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:17Oh, God, I hope not.
01:18What?
01:19I don't think so.
01:24I found the bacon.
01:25Fake bacon.
01:26Great.
01:28You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:31After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:35And by finish, I mean start.
01:37Oh, well, I mean...
01:38Sorry.
01:38Sorry.
01:41I think we're making progress.
01:43You know?
01:44Living in takes time.
01:46It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:48I moved constantly when I was in the army.
01:51Here's what I learned.
01:51If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:55If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:58Oh, we're well past that.
01:59I'm aware.
02:01This is killing you, isn't it?
02:03I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:07Okay.
02:11I'm sorry.
02:13It's just...
02:14It won't feel like you've fully moved in until the boxes are gone.
02:20That's nice.
02:22Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back
02:25and fix later.
02:26So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the
02:33long run.
02:33Okay.
02:38Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:42I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:44Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place
02:49to sleep.
02:50You don't understand that.
02:52All right.
02:53Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:55Oh, okay.
02:58Face the camera.
02:59Stand still.
03:01To your right.
03:03I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
03:06And I'm sorry.
03:08I just got really desperate for...
03:10Am I going to jail?
03:14You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:17Okie dokie.
03:49Is there any food?
03:49A frat house.
03:50I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression until, uh, my mama came over
03:55and insisted on cleaning.
03:57That's okay.
03:57You're not my mom.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59I can do that myself.
04:03What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
04:08After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:11You know, I couldn't play football again, so why about it?
04:14Professionally.
04:15You can never do it again professionally.
04:17Right.
04:18It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:20I, like, I majored in physical...
04:22Can you please just shut up?
04:23You hurt your knee.
04:24I lost my leg.
04:26I'm not saying it's the same.
04:28Yes, you are.
04:29Miles, you didn't go to the NFL.
04:31You lost your million-dollar contract, but you can still run.
04:36What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:57I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:03I-I didn't mean anything by that.
05:05You're right.
05:06I don't know what you're going through.
05:10But I want to.
05:11So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:19Oh, no.
05:20What?
05:22Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:25Oh, yeah, that's not great.
05:26But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:30No.
05:30Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:32If Wesley remembers everything, and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning, then that means...
05:37It means it was a test, and I failed.
05:40Wow.
05:41What?
05:50Nolan.
05:55Yeah, what's up?
05:56You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Cain?
05:58Well, that's the name he gave me.
06:00He didn't have any ID, though.
06:02There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:05A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:08Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:11They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial sites.
06:14All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:17Until I ran Ezra Cain's.
06:26The victims were the Poston family, Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:30They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:33The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night, killed
06:37the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:40Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:44So what do we have on our suspect?
06:45Well, literally 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.
06:53He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:55Any ID?
06:56No.
06:56He had a little bit of cash on him, and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
07:01Haven't run them yet.
07:01We can assume they're stolen.
07:03Any in the name of the murdered family?
07:04No.
07:05So how do you want to handle this?
07:08We have a window here.
07:10He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
07:12He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
07:16And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
07:19So you should do the interview.
07:22Mm-hmm.
07:23Right.
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,
07:40it's admissible.
07:41The key is not to push.
07:42Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:46Okay?
07:46The second that he suspects that you are onto the murders, he's gonna bail.
07:49Got it?
07:50Got it.
07:53Um, can someone track down a sandwich, give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:57Smart.
07:58Can do.
07:59Remember, go easy.
08:00The 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.
08:09Goldilocks, this thing.
08:09Mm-hmm.
08:10Yeah.
08:30Hey!
08:31Sorry to keep you waiting.
08:33Sorry, I thought you said I was gonna cite out?
08:35Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things?
08:41Credit 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
08:52I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:56I just, I get so hungry.
08:59I get it, but I'm just gonna need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the DA's office.
09:05Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:09Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
09:11Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with me.
09:16No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:20Okay.
09:21Well, let's get started.
09:23Uh, I'm sorry.
09:25I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol and not a fancy detective.
09:33Don't get me wrong.
09:34I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some fascinating people.
09:41Like me.
09:42Yes.
09:43We'll see.
09:45Okay.
09:46Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth or social security number
09:52or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity.
09:55And if you want the DA's office to play nice, that is not gonna fly.
10:00Would 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.
10:09Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:11Maybe if I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:16Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade.
10:21And at some point somebody just picked a birthday for me and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't
10:28be right.
10:28What 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?
10:39Hmm.
10:40Were you?
10:41You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:43Oh.
10:44East Coast.
10:45Pennsylvania.
10:46Right.
10:46That makes more sense.
10:48I'm from Idaho.
10:49I got to say growing up in Idaho was pretty hard.
10:53Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
10:56I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:59Last name, Kane with a K.
11:01First name, Ezra.
11:02Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
11:08Thanks.
11:09The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:13Well, I guess then that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could just warm up
11:18a little bit.
11:19When was that?
11:21I'm sorry.
11:22I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:25Yeah.
11:25No, listen.
11:26We're getting there.
11:28Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the D.A.
11:32But if you are in a hurry, I can just recommend a felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:36No.
11:37No need to be like that.
11:38I...
11:39Yeah.
11:41Um...
11:42I just...
11:43I'm not used to people taking an interest and I guess, uh...
11:46It's just not easy stuff to talk about.
11:50All right.
11:52Excuse me.
11:56Ah, Jen.
11:58Thank you very much.
11:59Got to do something more substantive to eat.
12:01Great.
12:03Okay.
12:04Let's get to the credit cards.
12:06Yeah?
12:08Great.
12:09Thanks.
12:10Whatever the credit card records.
12:16All right.
12:17Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:19One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premier Motel.
12:23That dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
12:26Hot 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.
12:40I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:43Is there a problem?
12:45Hi.
12:46Have you seen this man?
12:50Room 216.
12:51So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
12:55Not that we should've, but, you know, just, uh, with my sister's case and everything.
13:00I mean, you've been all up in my drama and...
13:04You know what?
13:04I'm sorry.
13:05I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:06No, hey, listen.
13:07It's-it's fine.
13:08It's natural to be curious.
13:09I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma, so...
13:12Copy.
13:17Police!
13:21Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
13:27Clear.
13:39There's nowhere for you to go. Come out.
13:45Alright, step out.
13:46No.
13:47You need to go.
13:49Yeah, we're not gonna do that.
13:50Come out of the tub, please.
13:52I'm fine.
13:55He's gonna come back.
13:57You have to go.
13:58No.
13:59He's going to come back.
14:01You...
14:02You have to go.
14:04You have to go.
14:06Please.
14:07Is your name Samantha?
14:11Please, just...
14:12Samantha.
14:14Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
14:17He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:19I promise.
14:25I promise.
14:27It 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...
14:41My 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.
14:55Over and over again.
14:56Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react
14:59when you finally tell them the truth.
15:01What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
15:04It's gonna 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. Thanks for breakfast. Get 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 doctors 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.
15:41I shouldn't have said yes.
15:42I wasn't thinking.
15:44Hey, look.
15:44It was instinct.
15:45All 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 problem with the sandwich?
15:59No, no.
15:59This is great.
16:00I'm just...
16:01You 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.
16:12Lucy 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.
16:22But beyond that...
16:24Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
16:25Not yet.
16:26There's still room for you to squeeze him 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, but 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.
16:51No.
16:52He'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.
17:17Hold 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.
17:35I 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
17:45plead out.
17:48Call 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.
18:02Can 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.
18:24Hey.
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
18:31more 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
18:48right?
18:49The man who took you, we have him in custody.
18:52Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
18:54Is that how you name him?
18:54I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:56Who said that?
18:57Him?
18:59Yeah, I get it.
19:00Samantha.
19:01You're safe now.
19:03You are.
19:09Did you talk to my parents?
19:11Are they coming?
19:14Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
19:20No.
19:21No.
19:23I'm so sorry.
19:23No.
19:24What 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?
19:44Yeah.
19:46Yeah.
19:47He made me call him Amen.
19:50The seventh spirit.
19:52Marquis of Hell.
19:56Who commands 40 legions.
19:58Who commands 40 legions.
20:01Including the police.
20:05And he said that I was his soul mate.
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?
20:25The screams woke me up.
20:28I thought it was the TV.
20:30So I went out into the hall.
20:32Just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
20:39There...
20:41There was this...
20:44smell in the air.
20:46And it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
20:52So I called out.
20:53And that's when he stepped into the hall.
21:00I couldn't really see him.
21:04But I just...
21:07I knew in my body...
21:11that he was evil.
21:15Does that sound crazy?
21:17No.
21:19No.
21:23Where did he take you?
21:25A cabin in the woods.
21:27Or at least it used to be.
21:29I mean, I don't think anyone had lived there for years, but...
21:35That was my home.
21:38For the next eight months.
21:40Do you remember why you guys moved?
21:43Winter came.
21:44He has this thing about being cold.
21:47And by then...
21:48By then he knew I wasn't gonna run.
21:53Okay.
21:54Um...
21:55I think I have what I need for now.
21:58I'm gonna let you get some rest, okay?
22:02Uh...
22:03He bought a car.
22:05After we got to LA.
22:07I don't know if that matters.
22:09Yeah, no.
22:10It sure does.
22:10Do you remember what kind of car it was?
22:13Um...
22:13It was...
22:14Old.
22:15Four doors.
22:17Black.
22:18So 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.
22:28Mm-hmm.
22:28And, uh...
22:30That he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl.
22:37Did he say something else, Samantha?
22:44He said he was getting ready for after.
22:47After?
22:48After what?
22:49I thought he meant...
22:53I thought he meant after me.
22:56You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
23:01Part of me was really relieved.
23:05Because...
23:07Because at least it would finally be over.
23:34I don't know.
23:44Hey.
23:45Scout to the motel.
23:46Lucy called.
23:47She interviewed Samantha.
23:48Our guy's got a car.
23:49Make and model?
23:50Black four-door sedan.
23:51Old.
23:52That's not particularly helpful.
23:53Find any trophies in the room?
23:55Uh, not yet.
23:55I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
23:59But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
24:02Freaked you out?
24:03This I gotta see.
24:04Yeah, hold on.
24:12Yeah, that's not okay.
24:15Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
24:17Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
24:19No, but according to Lucy, it tracks Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon.
24:24One of the marquees of hell.
24:30Everything okay?
24:33Hell.
24:36I was wrong.
24:38This is taking...
24:40too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel.
24:44Why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
24:50Well, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
24:55Fingerprints.
25:04Credit where credit's due.
25:08You've got that, aw, shucks, every man cop thing down pat, and I bought it.
25:12For too long. That's on me.
25:14But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror
25:19that are just dying to get in here, little pigs.
25:26Little pigs.
25:28Get your asses in here.
25:31I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:33I'm ready for the main course.
25:37There they are.
25:40You must be the prosecutor.
25:42Wesley Evers.
25:43I'm Detective Lopez. This is Detective Harper.
25:45Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Amon?
25:51Someone's been talking out of school.
25:52I'm gonna re-advise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
25:57Not necessary yet. I'll let you know.
25:59Can 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.
26:12Something isn't adding up.
26:13Agreed.
26:14But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him
26:18that might not have translated to us through the window?
26:21Yeah.
26:22When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real.
26:25You want to get him on the saddle? Crank the AC.
26:27Love it. Thank you.
26:33The janitor locked up just after 10 last night. The place was empty after that.
26:37Well, this place is huge. There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
26:44All right. This is about where I saw him. He heard me coming, and then he took off that way
26:49through those doors.
27:01Got it.
27:04Car key.
27:07I must have ditched it when he heard me coming.
27:09So what hit?
27:10I wonder if he's gonna ditch the keys so you didn't find the car.
27:12Well, why?
27:13I don't know. Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
27:17I scrubbed body cam, I scrubbed dash cam, no black sedan.
27:21Whoa.
27:22I got blood.
27:23There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed him.
27:28Right there.
27:29Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
27:33Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:35Yes.
27:38Oh, your disbelief in my truth, it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's all that matters.
27:46Yeah, that won't last. You don't control her anymore.
27:50Hmm, how little you know.
27:51I'm gonna be with her until the day she dies, which was gonna be today.
27:57You know why?
27:59It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
28:05Nolan.
28:14I have found a new soulmate.
28:17He's got another girl.
28:22All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4am after she failed to come home from a friend's house.
28:27According to her parents, she was back and forth between the two homes all the time,
28:31and her route took her right past the rec center.
28:33Sounds like he'd been watching her for a while, planning the perfect time and place to make his move.
28:37If the suspect's car was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning,
28:40Ezra must have left and came back. Why would he do that?
28:43My best guess is that he left something at the scene.
28:46Most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:48He only realized it after he'd left, but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to
28:51the abduction.
28:52But with a wounded girl in the trunk, he was faced with a problem.
28:55It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
28:58But that would have put him at a greater risk
29:00because if Julie was conscious and screaming her head off, it would draw a lot of attention.
29:04So he parked the car somewhere else, somewhere no one could hear her screaming.
29:08Went back on foot.
29:09Right, but how far would he be comfortable walking?
29:12Ten minutes, twenty?
29:13The average walking pace of a healthy male is probably two and a half, three miles an hour.
29:18Any faster might draw him wanted attention.
29:20Okay, so to be safe, let's say three and a half miles per hour or a twenty minute walk.
29:25Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
29:29It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded.
29:32She was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago.
29:35Every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
29:42Where is Julie Reid?
29:43Oh, is that her name?
29:45No, because we were never properly introduced.
29:47Can you please turn the A.C. off?
29:50It's like a freezer in here.
29:52No problem.
29:52Just as soon as you tell us where she is.
29:55Hmm.
29:56You'd think I would trade my comfort for her.
29:59After all you've seen of my sacrifice.
30:01No, no, I guess not.
30:02But what would you trade for her?
30:04Now that's an interesting question.
30:07Let's see.
30:08I would say a reduced sentence, but we all know that would be a hollow promise.
30:13After all that I've done.
30:15Hmm.
30:17I would love to say a proper goodbye to fair Samantha.
30:21Not a chance in hell.
30:22That is a non-starter.
30:23There is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
30:27I don't think you have a choice.
30:27I think you kind of have to ask her.
30:29No, we don't.
30:30Oh, yeah, no.
30:30I think Samantha would disagree.
30:32Think about it.
30:34How is Samantha going to feel when Julie dies before you tell her and Samantha realizes
30:40she could have saved that poor girl?
30:42Huh.
30:43How about this?
30:45Let's give this a shot.
30:46Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place.
30:49And if she just talks to me for one more minute, I-I will tell you where that is.
31:02Sorry to interrupt.
31:03I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
31:05Wait.
31:05Did something happen?
31:06No, no, no.
31:07I just need it for a second.
31:08I'll be just outside, okay?
31:09I'm right here.
31:14Ezra took another girl before he was arrested.
31:17He says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to Samantha.
31:20No.
31:21Forget that.
31:21He doesn't want to help us.
31:23He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
31:25I agree.
31:25So do Lopez and Harper, but-
31:27He says that the girl's being held near the red place.
31:30And if we told that to Samantha, then she'd agree to help.
31:33We're not saying that to her, okay?
31:34It's a trick.
31:38Samantha, open the door.
31:40What happened?
31:41The red place?
31:42I mean, it's gotta be some sort of trigger phrase.
31:44He spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him,
31:47and she just heard us using his language.
31:51No!
32:01Let me kill him!
32:03We need medical attention!
32:05Please, I can't do it.
32:08I needed that!
32:10No, I needed that!
32:13I needed that!
32:207 Adam 20, no sign of suspect vehicle at 1900 to Hawthorne.
32:237 Adam 4, construction site at 801 Mercury is empty of vehicles.
32:277 Lincoln 15, first five levels of Wilshire Office Complex garage are clear.
32:32Moving to lower level.
32:485 2,000 now for the time.
33:037.
33:108?
33:1311.
33:1412.
33:1510.
33:1611.
33:19Julie, you in there?
33:2317-15, I have her.
33:25Lower level of the garage.
33:26Send an ambulance now.
33:32Hey.
33:33Hey, Julie.
33:34I'm Officer Nolan.
33:36I'm here to help you.
33:37Now, I'm gonna have to put some pressure on that wound
33:39to stop the bleeding, okay?
33:40But it is going to hurt.
33:42I am so sorry.
33:44Easy.
33:46I'm sorry.
33:47I'm sorry.
33:48I know.
33:48I know.
33:49You're doing great.
33:50You're doing great.
33:54She's right here.
33:55She just passed out.
33:57She's lost a lot of blood.
33:59Pulse is weak.
34:00She's in hypovolemic shock.
34:02We've got to get her out of here.
34:13Nolan.
34:18Hey.
34:18Are you all right?
34:21Yeah.
34:22Um, Julie just got out of surgery.
34:24They lost her on the table for a minute,
34:25but she pulled through,
34:26and she's recovering in the ICU.
34:28Thank God.
34:28Can I talk to her
34:30when she's ready?
34:32Uh, I'll ask.
34:34You know, we wouldn't have found her
34:36without you.
34:37You gave us the car.
34:38I said it had wheels.
34:40And that it was black and old.
34:42I meant it.
34:43She is alive because of you.
34:45Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:50I'll, uh,
34:52I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:53Yeah.
34:59Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
35:02Okay.
35:16What was the, um,
35:18the red place?
35:20There was this house
35:22that we stayed at early on.
35:24They had painted the bathroom red.
35:29So when I was bad,
35:32he would take me in there
35:34to punish me.
35:39I know you're not ready to hear this.
35:41Um,
35:42but when it's time,
35:44the first step of your recovery
35:46will be to
35:48stop blaming yourself.
35:50Sure.
35:51On it.
35:52I know.
35:53I know.
35:53It's easier said than done,
35:55but
35:57I know what I'm talking about.
35:59You know.
35:59I want to share something with you.
36:01Something that happened
36:02to me,
36:03if that's okay.
36:05Yeah.
36:06Um,
36:06so my rookie year
36:07as a cop,
36:08I met this guy.
36:10And he loved dogs
36:11and he was cute
36:12and he seemed great.
36:14Um,
36:15we went on a date
36:17and he,
36:18he kidnapped me.
36:21The details are a lot,
36:23but the short version
36:24is that I thought
36:25I was going to die
36:28in another five minutes
36:29and I probably would have.
36:32For months afterwards,
36:33I just obsessed
36:34about every second
36:36with him
36:36before he drugged me,
36:37how I should have
36:38seen through him,
36:39how I should have been
36:40faster,
36:41smarter.
36:45I wanted to believe
36:46that I was in control,
36:49but I wasn't.
36:51So eventually,
36:52I stopped focusing
36:53on the things
36:54that I didn't do
36:55and I focused
36:55on the thing
36:56that I did.
36:58I survived.
37:00You survived.
37:02Samantha,
37:02you're here.
37:08I know
37:09that you don't see
37:10how brave
37:10and powerful
37:12you are,
37:13okay?
37:14But I do.
37:15I really,
37:16really do.
37:19Hey,
37:20uh,
37:20sorry
37:20to interrupt.
37:22Um,
37:22I spoke
37:23to your aunt,
37:24Sarah.
37:24She is
37:25rushing back
37:26from her vacation
37:27in London,
37:27but her plane
37:28won't get here
37:28until tomorrow afternoon.
37:31It's okay.
37:31Don't worry,
37:32all right?
37:32You're not
37:33going to be alone.
37:34Every female cop
37:35at Mid-Wilshire
37:35has volunteered
37:36to keep you company
37:37in the coming
37:38days and weeks.
37:39Yeah.
37:39We have your back,
37:40Samantha.

37:42you need
37:43until you feel safe.
37:49Hey.
37:50Seth's here.
37:51I'll be in my room.
37:54It's good
37:55to see you, too.
37:59It's another fan.
38:00Poor you.
38:05Um,
38:07look,
38:08you're right,
38:09man.
38:09The self-pity's
38:11got to stop.
38:11I want to do better,
38:13but clearly
38:13I don't know
38:14how to,
38:15and you are
38:16the best guy
38:17I know,
38:18so
38:20will you help me?
38:21I would need
38:22radical
38:24honesty.

38:30best guys

38:33of humor.

39:11special day.

39:25and I remember.
39:28Did you?
39:30Totally.
39:34Congrats, grad.
39:36Fine.
39:37I forgot.
39:38But I had to pull
39:39this together fast.
39:41But I remember
39:42it before you did,
39:43and that's what's
39:44important.
39:45Winning.
39:46Yeah.
39:46And you know what else
39:47is super important?
39:50No.
39:50What?
39:51The kids
39:51are with my mom.
39:53Oh.
39:54Mm.
39:55Mm.
39:55Mm.
40:01Hi.
40:02Hi, Andy.
40:02How's it going?
40:03Oh, I missed you.
40:05Oh, God.
40:06What a day.
40:08How'd I go
40:08to the hospital?
40:09It's fine.
40:10Samantha's asleep
40:11right now,
40:11so I'll go in
40:13and check in
40:13with her tomorrow.
40:15Mm-hmm.
40:16Do I smell dinner?
40:18Don't get too excited.
40:19I ordered Italian.
40:20It's in the oven.
40:20Keep it warm.
40:21Hmm.
40:22You're a hero.
40:23Hmm.
40:25Oh, God.
40:26Okay, so I need
40:27to say something,
40:28and I need you
40:29to respond with kindness.
40:31Okay?
40:31Okay.
40:32Um, after the day
40:34that I've had,
40:36I really need this place
40:37to feel like a refuge
40:39and not a UPS
40:40sorting facility.
40:41We need to get
40:42these damn boxes
40:43out of here.
40:44I,
40:47I agree.
40:49No time like the present.
40:51Let's do it.
40:51Wait, hold on.
40:52I'm tired.
40:54I'm, I'm very tired.
40:56I thought maybe
40:57we could have dinner
40:57and then I would,
40:58I could,
40:59I could sit here
41:00and do it.
41:02supervise.
41:03I mean,
41:05how can I refuse
41:06that offer?
41:07You can't.
41:08All right,
41:09I'll get dinner.
41:14Yep.
41:29Good work today,
41:30Officer Nola.
41:31Thanks.
41:34How come I don't feel
41:35better about it?
41:35I think you know
41:37the answer.
41:38Yeah.
41:41Listen,
41:43we can't change
41:44what already happened.
41:45All we can do
41:46is stop it
41:47from happening again.
41:49And you did that today.
41:51In a big way.
41:53Which means
41:55someone ought to
41:56buy you a drink.
41:57You volunteering?
42:00I am.
