00:00A few months about how I handle things between us.
00:04And I'm ashamed.
00:05My mama, she taught me how to be the bigger man, and I fell down.
00:10And I heard you've been trying to make amends with people, and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:19With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito from El Plateau.
00:43Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
00:46God, I hope not.
00:48What?
00:49I don't think so.
00:53I found the bacon.
00:55Fake bacon.
00:56Great.
00:59You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:02After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:06And by finish, I mean start.
01:08Oh, well, I'm...
01:09Sorry.
01:09Sorry.
01:13I think we're making progress.
01:15You know?
01:16Living in takes time.
01:17It only takes as much time as you let it.
01:20I moved constantly when I was in the Army.
01:23Here's what I learned.
01:23If it's not unpacked in 48 hours, it will never be unpacked.
01:27If art sits on the floor longer than two days, it lives there now.
01:30Oh, we're well past that.
01:32I'm aware.
01:34This is killing you, isn't it?
01:36I think we should buckle down and get it done.
01:40Okay.
01:45I'm sorry.
01:46It's just...
01:48It won't feel like you've fully moved in until all the boxes are gone.
01:54That's nice.
01:56Look, if we rush the process, we're just going to make a mistake that we'll have to go back and
02:00fix later.
02:01So, trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:09Okay.
02:14Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep, you know?
02:18So, I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:20Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place to
02:26sleep.
02:27You don't understand that.
02:29All right.
02:30Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:32Oh, okay.
02:35Face the camera.
02:36Stand still.
02:39To your right.
02:41I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
02:44And I'm sorry, I just got really desperate for...
02:49Am I going to jail or...
02:53You know, you're probably going to side out in just a couple of hours.
02:56Okie dokie.
02:58Is there any food?
03:00Um, just I haven't eaten in a while.
03:02Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break room for you.
03:06All right, thank you.
03:06I appreciate that.
03:12I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:16Oh, I can't help with that.
03:17No, hey, no, no, no, that's, that's, um...
03:19That's okay, you don't have to do that.
03:21Uh, it's no problem.
03:22You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:24Trust me.
03:25You know, after I blew out my knee in my place,
03:28it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:31I didn't realize how much it was contributing to my depression
03:34until, uh, my mama came over and insisted on cleaning.
03:39That's okay, you're not my mom.
03:40You're not my mom.
03:41I can, I can do that myself.
03:46What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
03:51After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
03:54I couldn't play football again, so why about it?
03:57Professionally.
03:58You can never do it again professionally.
04:01Right.
04:02It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:04I, like, I majored in physical...
04:05Can you please just shut up?
04:07You hurt your knee.
04:08I lost my leg.
04:10I'm not saying it's, it's the same.
04:12Yes, you are, Miles.
04:14You didn't go to the NFL.
04:16You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:19But you can still run.
04:21What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:44I think we started off on the wrong foot.
04:50I, I didn't mean anything by that.
04:53You're right.
04:53I don't know what you're going through.
04:57But I want to.
04:59So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:07Oh, no.
05:08What?
05:10Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:14Oh, yeah, that's not great.
05:15But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:19No.
05:19Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:22If Wesley remembers everything, and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:26then that means...
05:26It means it was a test, and I failed.
05:30Wow.
05:31What?
05:40Nolan.
05:46Yeah, what's up?
05:47You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Cain?
05:50Well, that's the name he gave me.
05:51He didn't have any ID, though.
05:53There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
05:57A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:01Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:03They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial site.
06:07All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:11Until I ran Ezra Cain's.
06:13Yeah.
06:19The victims were the Poston family.
06:21Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:24They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:27The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
06:31killed the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:35Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:38So what do we have on our suspect?
06:40Literally nothing.
06:41He says his name is Ezra Cain.
06:43That could be an alias.
06:45I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:48He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:50Any ID?
06:51No.
06:52He had a little bit of cash on him and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
06:56I haven't run them yet.
06:57We can assume they're stolen.
06:58Any in the name of the murdered family?
07:00No.
07:01So how do you want to handle this?
07:05We have a window here.
07:07He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
07:09He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
07:12And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
07:17So you should do the interview.
07:21Right.
07:23Okay.
07:30Any advice?
07:31I mean, you read him his rights.
07:33Yeah, but not for this.
07:34That doesn't matter.
07:35As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney, anything you get in your questioning,
07:39it's admissible.
07:40The key is not to push.
07:41Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:45Okay?
07:46The second that he suspects that you are onto the murders, he's going to 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.
07:59Okay.
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
08:08kid gloves.
08:09It's Goldilocks, this thing.
08:11Mm-hmm.
08:11Yeah.
08:33Hey, sorry to keep your weight.
08:36Sorry, I thought you said I was going to cite out?
08:39Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things, credit
08:45cards that do not belong to you.
08:46Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time.
08:52You know, like, along the way, people drop them, people throw them out by accident, and I know, you know,
08:58it was wrong to use them.
09:01Um, I just, I get so hungry.
09:04I get it.
09:05But, but I'm just going to need some clarity before I make a recommendation to the TA's office.
09:10Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
09:14Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
09:17Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with
09:22me.
09:23No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:26Okay, well, let's get started.
09:30Uh, I'm sorry, I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol
09:38and not a fancy detective.
09:41Well, get me wrong, I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet
09:47some fascinating people.
09:49Like me.
09:51Yes.
09:52We'll see.
09:54Okay.
09:55Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth, or social security
10:01number, or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity, and if you want the
10:07DA's office to play nice, that is not going to fly.
10:09Would you believe I don't know the first, and I don't have the second?
10:14No.
10:15Yeah.
10:15I didn't get the best start in life.
10:18Didn't know dad.
10:20Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:22I, if I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:27Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade, and at some point somebody just
10:35picked a birthday for me, and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
10:40What, what, what was it?
10:42I think it's like January 6th of 82, or maybe 83, and.
10:48Okay.
10:48Yeah.
10:50And, were you born in Los Angeles?
10:52No.
10:52Were you?
10:54You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:56Oh.
10:57East Coast.
10:58Pennsylvania.
10:59Right.
11:00That, that makes more sense.
11:01I'm from Idaho.
11:03I got to say growing up in Idaho was pretty hard.
11:06Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez, Los Angeles Police Department.
11:10I need to run an Idaho record search.
11:13Last name, Kane with a K, first name Ezra.
11:16Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
11:23Thanks.
11:24The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:29Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could
11:33just warm up a little bit.
11:35When was that?
11:37I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:41Yeah, no, listen, we're getting there.
11:43Um, establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA, but if you are in a hurry,
11:51I can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:53No, no need to be like that.
11:55I, I, yeah, um, I just, I'm not used to people taking an interest and I guess, uh, it's just
12:05not easy stuff to talk about.
12:08All right.
12:11Excuse me.
12:15Ah, Jan, thank you very much.
12:18Got you something more substantive to eat?
12:20Great.
12:22Okay.
12:24Let's get to the credit cards.
12:25Yeah?
12:28Great.
12:29Thanks.
12:30Whatever the credit card records.
12:36All right.
12:37Only two cards have recent activity on them.
12:40One was used two nights ago at the Hollywood Premiere Motel.
12:43And a dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
12:47Hot damn.
12:51It's everyone's worst nightmare.
12:53Waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your house.
12:57Yeah.
12:57And yet, it's statistically the least likely way to get murdered by a psychopath.
13:02I guess we both have some painful experience there.
13:05Is there a problem?
13:07Hi.
13:08Have you seen this man?
13:13Room 216.
13:14So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
13:18Not that we should have.
13:20But, you know, just with my sister's case and everything.
13:23I mean, you've been all up in my trauma and...
13:28You know what?
13:28I'm sorry.
13:29I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:30All right.
13:31Listen.
13:31It's fine.
13:32It's natural to be curious.
13:33I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma.
13:36So...
13:37Copy.
13:42Police!
13:47Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
13:53Clear.
14:06There's nowhere for you to go.
14:07Come out.
14:12All right.
14:13Step out.
14:14No.
14:15You need to go.
14:16Yeah.
14:17We're not going to do that.
14:18Come out of the tub, please.
14:20I'm fine.
14:23He's going to come back.
14:24You have to go.
14:27He's going to come back.
14:30You...
14:30You have to go.
14:33You have to go.
14:35Please.
14:36Is your name Samantha?
14:40Please, just...
14:41Samantha.
14:44Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
14:47He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:48I promise.
14:57It is not fair.
14:58I came clean to everyone.
15:00I've confessed every lie, every sin.
15:03And nobody's forgiven me for anything that I've done.
15:07Half the people that I called, they hang up on me.
15:10My dad, my dad won't even take my calls.
15:15You really haven't changed, though.
15:17Excuse me?
15:18You're doing the same thing you always have.
15:19You're not considering anyone else's experience.
15:23You lied to everyone about almost everything, over and over again.
15:29Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
15:34What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
15:36It's going to take a lot more than an apology to her to fix that.
15:40I suck.
15:43I get it.
15:45Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
15:48I see you never.
15:49Thanks for breakfast.
15:50Get out of here.
15:57My parents.
15:58You have to call my parents.
16:00You have to tell them that I'm okay.
16:02Yeah, of course.
16:04The doctor will take good care of you.
16:06Please.
16:11She doesn't know they're dead.
16:14I mean, he kept her isolated.
16:15She only knows what he told her.
16:16Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
16:18I wasn't thinking.
16:19Hey, look.
16:20It was instinct, all right?
16:22Try not to beat yourself up.
16:23She's in shock.
16:24It wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
16:26It'll be fine.
16:26Yeah.
16:33You haven't eaten much.
16:35Problem with the sandwich?
16:36No, no.
16:37This is great.
16:38I'm just, you know what it is?
16:39I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:40Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
16:45Sorry to interrupt.
16:46Can I steal you for a sec?
16:47Of course.
16:48Excuse me.
16:50Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston inside Ezra's motel room.
16:56Is she, uh...
16:57She's alive and in no immediate medical danger.
17:01But beyond that...
17:03Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
17:05Not yet.
17:05There's still room for you to squeeze in before everything comes out into the open.
17:08Go back in there and turn up the heat.
17:10Tell them we found a few recent charges on the various cards.
17:13Mention the motel, but not like we've gone there or even that we will.
17:17And let's just see what happens.
17:21Right.
17:25This changes the profile, doesn't it?
17:27He kept that girl for three years.
17:30That...
17:31He's not just a murderer.
17:33No.
17:34He's worse.
17:44Sorry about that.
17:45Everything okay?
17:48I'm going to be straight with you, Ezra.
17:51We ran those credit cards.
17:53And we found some recent charges.
17:55One of them being to a motel in Taitown.
17:59Whoa, whoa, hold on.
18:01When was the motel booked?
18:04Because...
18:04That wasn't me.
18:05Yeah, I mean...
18:06Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
18:12So you're telling me if I went to this motel with your photograph, you would not be recognized?
18:17Absolutely not.
18:18No.
18:20I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
18:23I mean, surely the LAPD has better things to do than spend resources on a wobbler that's 100% going
18:31to plead out.
18:34Call her my bluff.
18:35Look, I know I've got a job to do.
18:37I'm just a guy trying to make his way in an unfair world without hurting anyone.
18:49Can you explain something for me?
18:51Why didn't she leave?
18:52Yeah.
18:53I mean, I know what they taught us in the academy, but...
18:55I mean, he left her alone for at least 12 hours.
18:59It's the opposite of fight or flight.
19:01You know, it's freeze and appease.
19:03You saw how scared she was of him.
19:05That level of fear, it's her primary motivator.
19:08It'll be her only one.
19:13Hey.
19:14I'm sorry.
19:14I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives conduct a
19:20more formal interview.
19:23Okay.
19:23Okay.
19:32I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been, so I'm not going to assume that you remember anything,
19:38all right?
19:39The man who took you, we have him in custody.
19:42Ezra Kane is the name that he's using, is that how you know him?
19:46I'm not supposed to talk about him.
19:47Who said that?
19:48Him?
19:50Yeah.
19:50I get it.
19:52Samantha.
19:53You're safe now.
19:55You are.
20:01And did you talk to my parents?
20:03Are they coming?
20:07Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
20:13I'm so sorry.
20:15No.
20:16No.
20:17No.
20:17What happened to them?
20:18Did he kill them?
20:19No.
20:20No.
20:20They're alive.
20:21He said they have to be alive.
20:24He said that...
20:26Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
20:29Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
20:39Yeah.
20:40Eamon.
20:42Eamon.
20:43He made me call him Eamon.
20:45The seventh spirit.
20:48Marquis of hell.
20:51Who commands forty legions.
20:57Including...
20:58The police.
21:01And...
21:02He said...
21:03That I was his soul mate.
21:06None of that is true.
21:08Especially the police part.
21:10But it doesn't make any of that less terrifying.
21:15Do you remember the night that he took you?
21:23The screams woke me up.
21:26I thought it was the TV.
21:27So I went out into the hall.
21:30Just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
21:38And there...
21:40There was this...
21:44Smell...
21:45In the air.
21:46And it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
21:52So I called out.
21:53And that's when he stepped into the hall.
22:00I couldn't really see him.
22:05But I just...
22:08I knew...
22:10In my body...
22:12That he was evil.
22:16Does that sound crazy?
22:18No.
22:21No.
22:26Where did he take you?
22:28A cabin in the woods.
22:30Or at least it used to be.
22:32I mean, I don't think anyone had lived there for years, but...
22:38That was my home.
22:41For the next eight months.
22:44Do you remember why you guys moved?
22:47Winter came.
22:48He has this thing...
22:50About being cold.
22:52And by then...
22:54By then he knew I wasn't gonna run.
22:57Okay.
23:00I think I have what I need for now.
23:03I'm gonna let you get some rest, okay?
23:08He bought a car.
23:11After we got to LA.
23:13I don't know if that matters.
23:15Yeah, no. It sure does.
23:16Do you remember what kind of car it was?
23:19Um, it was...
23:21Old.
23:22Four doors.
23:23Black.
23:25So he would have taken that car when he left the motel then?
23:28Yeah.
23:29Did he tell you where he was going?
23:30No.
23:31He just said that...
23:33He may be a while.
23:36And, uh...
23:37That he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl.
23:46Did he say something else?
23:48Samantha?
23:53He said he was getting ready for after.
23:56After? After what?
23:58I thought he meant...
24:02I thought he meant after me.
24:05You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
24:12Part of me was really relieved.
24:15Because...
24:17Because at least it would finally be over.
24:57I don't know.
24:57Hey. Scott from the motel.
24:59Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha. Our guy's got a car.
25:02Make and model?
25:03Black four-door sedan. Old.
25:05It's not particularly helpful.
25:07Find any trophies in the room?
25:08Uh, not yet. I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
25:12But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
25:16Freaked you out? This I gotta see.
25:18Yeah, hold on.
25:27Yeah, that's not okay.
25:30Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
25:33Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
25:35No, but according to Lucy, it tracks. Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon. One of the marquees of hell.
25:47Everything okay?
25:49Hell?
25:53I was wrong. This is taking too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel. Why would you
26:03waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
26:08Well, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
26:14Fingerprints.
26:23Credit where credit's due.
26:27You've got that, aw, shucks, every man cop thing down, Pat, and I bought it. For too long. That's on
26:33me.
26:34But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror that are just
26:40dying to get in here, little pigs.
26:46Little pigs, get your asses in here. I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer. I'm ready for the main course.
26:59There they are.
27:02You must be the prosecutor.
27:04Wesley Evers.
27:05I'm Detective Lopez. This is Detective Harper.
27:08Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Amon?
27:13Someone's been talking out of school.
27:15I'm gonna re-advise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
27:20Not necessary yet. I'll let you know.
27:22Can I have a moment?
27:23Yeah.
27:26What? No goodbye?
27:33I'm gonna go check out the rec center where I found him. Something isn't adding up.
27:37Agreed. But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him that might not
27:43have translated to us through the window?
27:46Yeah. When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real. You wanna get him on the
27:51saddle? Crank the AC.
27:52Love it. Thank you.
27:59My janitor locked up just after 10 last night. The place was empty after that.
28:04Well, this place is huge. There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
28:10All right. This is about where I saw him. He heard me coming, and then he took off that way
28:16through those doors.
28:30Got it.
28:34Car key.
28:35I must have ditched it when he heard me coming.
28:38So what hit?
28:39He was gonna ditch the keys so you didn't find the car.
28:41Well, why?
28:42I don't know. Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
28:46I scrubbed body cam. I scrubbed dash cam. No black sedan.
28:50Whoa. I got blood.
28:53There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed them.
28:58Right there.
29:00Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions? Or was that a later in life revelation?
29:06That's it.
29:09Oh, your disbelief in my truth, it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's all that matters.
29:18Yeah, that won't last. You don't control her anymore.
29:21Hmm, how little you know. I'm gonna be with her until the day she dies, which was gonna be today.
29:29You know why?
29:31It's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
29:38Nolan.
29:48I have found a new soulmate.
29:51He's got another girl.
29:56All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m. after she failed to come home from a friend's
30:01house.
30:02According to her parents, she was back and forth between the two homes all the time, and her route took
30:06her right past the rec center.
30:07Sounds like he'd been watching her for a while, planning the perfect time and place to make his move.
30:12If the suspect card was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning, Ezra must have left and came back. Why
30:17would he do that?
30:18My best guess is that he left something at the scene, most likely his makeshift wallet.
30:23He only realized it after he'd left, but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to
30:27the abduction.
30:28But with a wounded girl in the trunk, he was faced with a problem.
30:32It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
30:35But that would have put him at a greater risk because if Julie was conscious and screaming her head off,
30:40it would draw a lot of attention.
30:42So he parked the car somewhere else, somewhere no one could hear her screaming.
30:45Went back on foot.
30:46Right, but how far would he be comfortable walking?
30:5010 minutes, 20.
30:51The average walking pace of a healthy male is probably two and a half, three miles an hour.
30:56Any faster might draw than wanted attention.
30:58Okay, so to be safe, let's say three and a half miles per hour for a 20 minute walk.
31:03Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
31:08It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded.
31:11She was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago.
31:15Every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
31:22Where is Julie Raid?
31:24Oh, is that her name?
31:25No, because we were never properly introduced and can you please turn the AC off?
31:31It's like a freezer in here.
31:32No problem, just as soon as you tell us where she is.
31:35Hmm, do you think I would trade my comfort for her after all you've seen of my sacrifice?
31:42No, no, I guess not.
31:44But what would you trade for her?
31:46Now that's an interesting question.
31:49Let's see.
31:50I would say a reduced sentence, but we all know that would be a hollow promise after all that I've
31:57done.
31:58Hmm.
31:59I would love to say a proper goodbye to fair Samantha.
32:04Not a chance in hell.
32:05That is a non-starter.
32:06There is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
32:10I don't think you have a choice.
32:11I think you kind of have to ask her.
32:12No, we don't.
32:13Oh yeah, no.
32:14I think, I think Samantha would disagree.
32:16Think about it.
32:18How is Samantha gonna feel when Julie dies before you tell her and Samantha realizes she could have saved that
32:25poor girl?
32:27Huh.
32:28How about this?
32:30Let's give this a shot.
32:31Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place.
32:35And if she just talks to me for one more minute, I will tell you where that is.
32:48Sorry to interrupt. I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
32:51Wait, did something happen?
32:53No, no, no. I just need it for a second.
32:55I'll be just outside, okay? I'm right here.
33:01Ezra took another girl before he was arrested.
33:04He says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to Samantha.
33:07No.
33:08Forget that.
33:09He doesn't want to help us.
33:11He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
33:13I agree.
33:13So do Lopez and Harper, but...
33:15He says that the girl's being held near the red place.
33:19And if we told that to Samantha, then she'd agree to help.
33:21No, we're not saying that to her, okay?
33:23It's a trick.
33:27Amanda, open the door.
33:29What happened?
33:30What happened?
33:30The red place?
33:31I mean, it's gotta be some sort of trigger phrase.
33:34He spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him,
33:37and she just heard us using his language.
33:41No!
33:52Let me feel that!
33:54We need medical attention!
33:56Oh, no.
33:57Oh, please.
33:58I can't feel it.
34:00I need a sec.
34:01Yeah.
34:02I need a sec.
34:02You're up.
34:02I need a sec.
34:04I need a sec.
34:07No.
34:08I need a sec.
34:127 Adam 20, no sign of suspect vehicle at 1900 to Hawthorne.
34:167 Adam 4, the truck is sighted 801 Mercury is empty of vehicles.
34:207 Lincoln 15, first five levels of Wilshire Office Complex Garage are clear.
34:25Moving to lower level.
34:567 Adam 5, the truck is in the middle of the building.
35:16Julie, you in there?
35:2117-15, I have her.
35:23Lower level of the garage.
35:24Send an ambulance now.
35:30Hey.
35:31Hey, Julie.
35:32I'm Officer Nolan.
35:34I'm here to help you.
35:35Now, I'm going to have to put some pressure on that wound
35:37to stop the bleeding, okay?
35:39But it is going to hurt.
35:40I am so sorry.
35:43Easy.
35:45I'm sorry.
35:46I'm sorry.
35:47I know.
35:47I know.
35:48You're doing great.
35:49You're doing great.
35:54She's right here.
35:55She just passed out.
35:57She's lost a lot of blood.
36:00Pulse is weak.
36:01She's in hypoblemic shock.
36:02We've got to get her out of here.
36:13Nolan.
36:18Hey.
36:19Are you all right?
36:21Yeah.
36:22Um, Julie just got out of surgery.
36:24They lost her on the table for a minute,
36:26but she pulled through,
36:27and she's recovering in the ICU.
36:29Thank God.
36:29Can I talk to her?
36:31When she's ready?
36:32Uh, I'll ask.
36:36You know, we wouldn't have found her without you.
36:39You gave us the car.
36:40They said it had wheels.
36:41And that it was black and old.
36:43I meant it.
36:45She is alive because of you.
36:48Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
36:53I'll, uh,
36:55I'll come talk to you guys later.
36:56Yeah.
37:02Do you mind if I sit with you for a bit?
37:05Okay.
37:21What was the, um, the red place?
37:25There was this house that we stayed at early on.
37:30They had painted the bathroom red.
37:34So when I was bad,
37:38he would take me in there to punish me.
37:45I know you're not ready to hear this.
37:48Um,
37:49but when it's time,
37:51the first step of your recovery will be to
37:55stop blaming yourself.
37:57Sure.
37:59On it.
37:59I know.
38:00I know.
38:01It's easier said than done,
38:03but
38:04I know what I'm talking about.
38:06You know,
38:07I want to share something with you.
38:09It's something that happened to me,
38:12if that's okay.
38:14Um,
38:15so my rookie year as a cop,
38:17I met this guy.
38:18And he loved dogs,
38:20and he was cute,
38:21and he seemed great.
38:24Um,
38:25uh,
38:25we went on a date,
38:27and he,
38:28he kidnapped me.
38:31The details are a lot,
38:33but the short version
38:34is that I thought I was going to die
38:38in another five minutes,
38:40and I probably would have.
38:42For months afterwards,
38:44I just obsessed about every second with him
38:47before he drugged me,
38:48how I should have seen through him,
38:50how I should have been faster,
38:52smarter.
38:56I wanted to believe
38:58that I was in control,
39:01but I wasn't.
39:03So,
39:04eventually,
39:05I stopped focusing
39:06on the things that I didn't do,
39:07and I focused on the thing that I did.
39:10I survived.
39:12You survived.
39:15Samantha,
39:15you're here.
39:17Samantha,
39:19you're here.
39:21I know
39:22that you don't see
39:23how brave
39:24and powerful you are,
39:27okay?
39:27But I do.
39:29I really, really do.
39:33Hey, uh,
39:34sorry to interrupt.
39:36Um,
39:37I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
39:39She is rushing back
39:41from her vacation in London,
39:42but her plane won't get here
39:43until tomorrow afternoon.
39:46It's okay.
39:47Don't worry, all right?
39:48You're not going to be alone.
39:49Every female cop
39:50at Mid-Wilshire
39:51has volunteered
39:52to keep you company
39:53in the coming days and weeks.
39:54Yeah.
39:55We have your back, Samantha.
39:57For however long you need
39:59until you feel safe.
40:06Hey.
40:07Seth's here.
40:08I'll be in my room.
40:10It's good to see you, too.
40:16Just another fan.
40:18Poor you.
40:25Look, you're right, man.
40:27The self-pity's got to stop.
40:30I want to do better.
40:31But clearly,
40:32I don't know how to,
40:34and you are the best guy I know,
40:37so will you help me?
40:40I would need radical honesty.
40:44One tiny white lie.
40:46I'm out.
40:48In that case,
40:49you are one of the best guys I know.
40:52Still has a sense of humor.
40:54You might make it through this after all.
40:58All right.
40:59No lies, no woe is me.
41:01Just head down, do the work.
41:02Be grateful.
41:04Deal?
41:05Deal.
41:11Come here, brother.
41:18Surprise!
41:20Hey.
41:21Thanks.
41:22Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
41:26You did forget.
41:28Uh, no.
41:29It's definitely not my birthday.
41:31No.
41:32It's a different special day.
41:38Uh, wait.
41:39No, it's...
41:41Oh, my God.
41:45It's our anniversary.
41:46It is.
41:48You forgot.
41:49And I remember.
41:53Did you?
41:55Totally.
41:59Congrats, grad.
42:01Fine.
42:02I forgot.
42:03But I had to pull this together fast.
42:06But I remember it before you did,
42:09and that's what's important.
42:11Winning.
42:12Yeah.
42:12And you know what else is super important?
42:16Mm-hmm.
42:16No?
42:16What?
42:17The kids are with my mom.
42:19Oh.
42:20Mm-hmm.
42:24Hi.
42:29Hey, honey.
42:29How's it going?
42:30Oh, I missed you.
42:32Oh, God.
42:34What a day.
42:35How'd it go to the hospital?
42:37It's fine.
42:38Samantha's asleep right now,
42:39so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
42:43Mm-hmm.
42:44Do I smell dinner?
42:46Don't get too excited.
42:47I ordered Italian.
42:48It's in the oven.
42:49Keep them warm.
42:50Oh, my hero.
42:52Mm-hmm.
42:53Oh, God.
42:54Okay, so I need to say something,
42:57and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
43:01Okay.
43:01Um, after the day that I've had.
43:06I really need this place to feel like a refuge
43:08and not a UPS sorting facility.
43:11We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
43:15I...
43:17I agree.
43:20No time like the present.
43:22Let's do it.
43:22Wait, hold on.
43:23I'm tired.
43:25I'm very tired.
43:27I thought maybe we could have dinner,
43:29and then I would...
43:30I could sit here and supervise.
43:35I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
43:39You can't.
43:40All right, I'll get dinner.
43:47Yep.
44:03Good work today, Officer Nola.
44:05Thanks.
44:08How come I don't feel better about it?
44:10I think you know the answer.
44:13Yeah.
44:16Listen.
44:17We can't change what already happened.
44:20All we can do is stop it from happening again.
44:24And you did that today.
44:27In a big way.
44:30Which means...
44:31someone ought to buy you a drink.
44:35You volunteering?
44:36I am.
44:39I love you.
44:40I love you.
44:49I love you.
44:50I love you.
44:51I love you.
45:01I love you.
45:06You are so enjoyed.
45:23Damn it.
