00:19What are you doing here?
00:20I just want to see how you're doing.
00:22Never better.
00:25Right.
00:26Now if I come in, maybe we could talk.
00:27I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:29So, why do you care all of a sudden?
00:33I've been thinking a lot over the last few months about how I handle things between us.
00:38And I'm ashamed.
00:40My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man, and I fell down.
00:44And 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.
01:15Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
01:18God, I hope not.
01:19What?
01:20I don't think so.
01:25I found the bacon.
01:26Fake bacon.
01:27Great.
01:30You don't have to eat any if you don't want.
01:32After work, I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:36And by finish, I mean start.
01:38Oh, well, I mean...
01:39Sorry.
01:39Sorry.
01:42I 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.
01:52If 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.
02:02This is killing you, isn't it?
02:04I think we should buckle down and get it done.
02:08Okay.
02:12I'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
02:27and fix later.
02:27So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the
02:34long run.
02:34Okay.
02:39Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:43I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:45Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center, even if it's just to find a place
02:50to sleep.
02:51Yeah.
02:51You don't understand that.
02:53All right.
02:54Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:56Oh, okay.
02:59Face the camera.
03:00Stand still.
03:02Until you write.
03:04I didn't really break in because the door was unlocked, so it's fine, you know?
03:07And I'm sorry.
03:09I just got really desperate for...
03:11Am I going to jail?
03:15You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:18Okie dokie.
03:20Is there any food?
03:22Um, 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, thank you.
03:28I appreciate that.
03:33I'd offer you something to drink, but both glasses are dirty.
03:36Oh, I can't help with that.
03:38No.
03:38Hey, no, no, no, that's, um, that's okay.
03:40You don't have to do that.
03:41Uh, it's no problem.
03:42You know, a clean space, it really helps.
03:45Trust me.
03:46You know, after I blew out my knee in my place, it looked like a tornado tore through a frat
03:50house.
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.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59You're not my mom.
04:00I can...
04:02I 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.
04:12I couldn't play football again, so why bother...
04:14Professionally.
04:15You can never do it again professionally.
04:18Right.
04:19It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:22I majored in physical...
04:23Can you please just shut up?
04:24You hurt your knee.
04:25I lost my leg.
04:27I'm not saying it's the same.
04:29Yes, you are, Miles.
04:30You didn't go to the NFL.
04:33You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:35But you can still run.
04:37What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:58I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:04I didn't mean anything by that.
05:06You're right.
05:07I don't know what you're going through.
05:11But I want to.
05:12So how about I stop talking and I start listening?
05:20Oh, no.
05:21What?
05:23Today is my wedding anniversary, and I totally spaced.
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:27That's not great.
05:27But Wesley must have forgot, too, if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
05:31No.
05:31Wesley remembers everything about us.
05:33If Wesley remembers everything and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:37then that means...
05:38It means it was a test and I failed.
05:41Wow.
05:42What?
05:51Nolan.
05:55Yeah, what's up?
05:56You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Cain?
05:59Well, that's the name he gave me.
06:01He didn't have any idea, though.
06:03There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:06A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:10Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
06:12They found her bloody clothes a week later, but no burial site.
06:15All they had was a fingerprint that didn't match anything in the system.
06:19Until I ran Ezra Cain's.
06:21Yeah.
06:27The victims were the Poston family.
06:29Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
06:31They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
06:34The working theory is the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
06:38killed the father immediately, and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:41Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods and killed there.
06:45So what do we have on our suspect?
06:46Literally nothing.
06:47He says his name is Ezra Cain.
06:49That could be an alias.
06:50I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center in the early morning.
06:54He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:56Any ID?
06:56No.
06:57He had a little bit of cash on him and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
07:01Haven't run them yet.
07:02We can assume they're stolen.
07:03Any in the name of the murdered 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.
07:24Right.
07:24All right.
07:26Okay.
07:32Any advice?
07:33I mean, you read him his rights.
07:35Yeah, but not for this.
07:36That doesn't matter.
07:37As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney, anything you get in your questioning,
07:41it's admissible.
07:41The key 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 onto the murders, he's going to bail.
07:50Got it?
07:51Got it.
07:54Um, can someone track down a sandwich, give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:58Smart.
07:58Can do.
07:59Okay.
07:59Remember, go easy.
08:01The more comfortable he feels, the better the chance he slips up.
08:03Understood.
08:04Right, but not too easy, because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with kid gloves.
08:09Just Goldilocks, this thing.
08:10Yeah.
08:31Hey, sorry to keep your weight.
08:34Sorry, I thought you said I was going to cite out?
08:36Yeah, um, I know, but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things?
08:42Credit cards that do not belong to you?
08:43Yeah, I found them, um, not all at the same time, you know, like, along the way, people drop them,
08:50people throw them out by accident, and I know, you know, it was wrong to use them.
08:57I just, I get so hungry.
09:00I get it, but 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.
09:09Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
09:12Now, I want to recommend the former, but I can't do that unless you are straight with 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.
09:34Well, get me wrong, I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique, and I meet some
09:40fascinating people.
09:41Like me.
09:43Yes.
09:44We'll see.
09:45Okay.
09:47Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth, or social security number, or
09:53basically 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.
10:00Would you believe I don't know the first, and I don't have the second?
10:04No.
10:05Yeah.
10:06I didn't get the best start in life.
10:08Didn't know Dad.
10:10Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
10:12If I had a birth certificate, she probably used it to roll the blunts.
10:17Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system for a decade, and at some point, somebody just picked a birthday for
10:26me, and, uh, I, it, whatever it is, it can't be right.
10:29What, what was it?
10:30I think it's like January 6th of 82, or maybe 83, and.
10:36Okay.
10:36Yeah.
10:37And, were you born in Los Angeles?
10:40Yeah.
10:40Were you?
10:42You know, I don't get a California vibe.
10:44Oh.
10:45East Coast.
10:46Pennsylvania.
10:46Right.
10:47That, that makes more sense.
10:48I'm from Idaho.
10:50I got to say, growing up in Idaho is pretty hard.
10:53Hi, 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.
11:08Good news.
11:09Thanks.
11:10The cold helped the swelling go down when I caught a beating.
11:14Well, I guess, and that's why you moved to Southern California, if not so that you could just warm up
11:19a little bit.
11:19When was that?
11:21I'm sorry.
11:22I thought we were talking about credit cards.
11:25Yeah.
11:26No, listen.
11:26We're getting there.
11:28Establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA.
11:33But if you are in a hurry, I can just recommend felony, and you can wait in your cell.
11:37No, no need to be like that.
11:39I, I, yeah.
11:42Um, I just, I'm not used to people taking an interest, and I guess, uh, it's just not easy stuff
11:49to talk about.
11:51All right.
11:53Excuse me?
11:57Ah, Jen, thank you very much.
11:59Got you something more substantive to eat?
12:01Great.
12:03Okay.
12:05Let's get to the credit cards.
12:06Yeah?
12:09Great.
12:09Thanks.
12:10We have the credit card records.
12:16All 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
12:26the 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.
12:40I guess we both have some painful experience there.
12:44Is there a problem?
12:45Hi.
12:46Have you seen this man?
12:50Room 216.
12:52So, you know, we've never really talked about what happened to you.
12:56Not that we should have, but, you know, just, uh, with my sister's case and everything.
13:00I mean, you've been all up in my trauma, and...
13:04You know what?
13:05I'm sorry.
13:05I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:07All right.
13:07Listen, it's fine.
13:08It's natural to be curious.
13:09I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma, so...
13:12Copy.
13:18Police!
13:22Come out with your hands empty and keep them where I can see them.
13:28Clear.
13:39There's nowhere for you to go.
13:41Come out.
13:45All right.
13:46Step out.
13:47No.
13:48You need to go.
13:49Yeah, we're not gonna do that.
13:51Come out of the tub, please.
13:53I'm fine.
13:55He's gonna come back.
13:57You have to go.
14:00He's going to come back.
14:02You...
14:02You have to go.
14:05You have to go.
14:06Please.
14:07Is your name Samantha?
14:11Please, just...
14:12Samantha.
14:15Samantha, the man who took you, he's in custody.
14:18He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
14:19I promise.
14:27It 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, over and over again.
14:56Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
15:01What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
15:04It's 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'll see you never.
15:15Thanks 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 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.
15:41Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
15:42I wasn't thinking.
15:43Hey, look.
15:44It was instinct, all right?
15:45Try not to beat yourself up.
15:46She's in shock.
15:47It 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.
15:59This is great.
16:00I'm just, you know what it is?
16:01I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:03Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
16:07Sorry to interrupt.
16:08Can I steal you for a sec?
16:09Of course.
16:10Excuse me.
16:12Lucy 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...
16:23Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
16:25Not yet.
16:26There's still room for you to squeeze in before everything comes out into the open.
16:29Go back in there and turn up the heat.
16:31Tell 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.
16:52No.
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.
17:16Well, hold on.
17:18When was the motel booked?
17:20Because that wasn't me.
17:21Yeah, 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 you've got a job to do.
17:51I'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, I mean, he left her alone for at
18:10least 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, maybe her only one.
18:24Hey.
18:25I'm sorry, I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives
18:30conduct a more formal interview.
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?
18:48The man who took you, we have him in custody. Ezra Kane is the name that he's using. Is that
18:54how you know him?
18:54I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:56Who said that? Him?
18:58Yeah, I get it. I get it. Samantha, you're safe now. You are.
19:09Did you talk to my parents? Are they coming?
19:15Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
19:20No. No.
19:23I'm so sorry.
19:23No. What happened to them? Did he kill them? No. No, they're alive. He said they have to be alive.
19:30He said that...
19:32Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate? Is that the threat he used to keep you
19:36with him?
19:44Yeah.
19:45Eamon.
19:47Eamon. He made me call him Eamon. The Seventh Spirit. Marquis of Hell.
19:56Who commands 40 legions. Including the police. And he said that I was his soulmate.
20:09None of that is true. Especially 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. I thought it was the TV. So I went out into the hall.
20:32Just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
20:39And there...
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. And that's when he stepped into the hall.
21:00I couldn't really see him.
21:04But I just...
21:07I knew...
21:08in my body...
21:11that he was evil.
21:15Does that sound crazy?
21:16No.
21:18No.
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?
21:42Winter came.
21:47Winter came to the hospital.
21:48and I lived with you for Harry and's after god...
21:49I knew your friend was running for him.
21:55He was everything.
21:58And I had to go...
22:02I knew her baby...
22:03backside and stuff canceled was originally.
22:05After we were in LA...
22:07?
22:07don't I don't know if that matters yeah no it sure does do you remember what
22:11kind of car it was um it was old four doors black so he would have taken that
22:19car when he left the motel then yeah did he tell you where he was going no he
22:24just said that he may be a while and that he would punish me if I wasn't a
22:32good girl did he say something else Samantha he said he was getting ready
22:46for after after after what I thought even I thought he meant after me you felt
22:56like he was getting ready to kill you because because at least it would
23:08finally be over
23:43hey Scott to the motel Lucy called she interviewed Samantha our guy's got a car
23:48make and model black four-door sedan old it's not particularly helpful find any trophies in
23:54the room uh not yet I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through
23:57Ezra's stuff but you know I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a
24:01little freaked you out this I gotta see yeah hold on
24:11yeah that's not okay look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff oh yeah no that's not okay
24:19no but according to Lucy it tracks Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon one of the marquees of hell
24:30everything okay hell
24:36I was wrong this is taking
24:40too long which means you did send somebody to the motel
24:43why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards
24:49well this started long before we found out about the motel Ezra
24:55fingerprints
25:04credit where credit's due
25:07you've got that aw shucks everyman cop thing down pat and I bought it
25:11for too long that's on me but I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain
25:18behind that
25:18mirror they're just dying to get in here little pigs
25:25little pigs get your asses in here
25:30I've enjoyed my time with officer appetizer I'm ready for the main course
25:37there they are
25:39you must be the prosecutor
25:41Wesley Evers I'm detective Lopez this is detective Harper
25:44is it okay if we call you Ezra or do you prefer Amon
25:50someone's been talking at school
25:51I'm gonna readvise you of your rights including the right to have an attorney
25:55present
25:56not necessary yet I'll let you know
25:58can I have a moment
25:59yeah
26:02what no goodbye
26:09I'm gonna go check out the rec center where I found him something isn't adding up
26:12agreed but before you go any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him
26:17that might not have translated to us through the window
26:20yeah when he was talking about the cold of his childhood that was real you want to get him
26:25unsettle crank the A.C. love it thank you
26:33my janitor locked up just after 10 last night place was empty after that
26:36well this place is huge there's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road
26:43all 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
27:02got it
27:05car key
27:05car key
27:06Mr. ditched it when he heard me coming
27:08so what hit
27:09one of the reason to ditch the key is so you didn't find the car
27:11well why
27:13I don't know
27:13like I said
27:14there were no cars here when I got here this morning
27:16I scrub body cam I scrub dash cam no 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 or was that a later in life revelation
27:37oh your your disbelief in my truth
27:42it 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
27:49hmm how little you know
27:50I'm gonna be with her until the day she dies
27:53which was gonna be today
27:56you know why
27:58it's the real reason I was trespassing this morning
28:04Nolan
28:13I have found a new soulmate
28:16he's got another girl
28:20all right Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m. after she failed to come home from a friend's
28:26house
28:26according to her parents she was back and forth between the two homes all the time
28:29and her route took her right past the rec center
28:31sounds like he'd been watching her for a while planning the perfect time and place to make his move
28:35if the suspect car was gone when officer Nolan arrived this morning
28:39Ezra must have left and came back why would he do that
28:41my best guess is that he left something at the scene most likely his makeshift wallet
28:46he only realized it after he left but went back for it because he knew it would connect him to
28:50the abduction
28:50but with a wounded girl in the trunk he was faced with a problem
28:54it would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside
28:57but that would have put him at a greater risk because 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 somewhere no one could hear her screaming
29:06went back on foot
29:07right but how far would he be comfortable walking
29:1010 minutes 20
29:12average walking pace of healthy males probably
29:14two and a half three miles an hour
29:17any faster might draw him wanted attention
29:18okay so to be safe let's say three and a half miles per hour for a 20 minute walk
29:23which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius
29:27it's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded
29:30she was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago
29:34every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive
29:41where's julie reid
29:42oh is that her name no because we were we were never properly introduced and can you please turn the
29:47AC off
29:49it's like a freezer in here
29:50no problem just as soon as you tell us where she is
29:53hmm you think i would trade my comfort for her after all you've seen of my sacrifice
29:59no no i guess not but what would you trade for her
30:02now that's an interesting question
30:06let's see i would say a reduced sentence but we all know that would be a hollow promise
30:12after all that i've done
30:15hmm i would love to say a proper goodbye
30:18to fair samantha
30:19not a chance in hell
30:20that is a non-starter there is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl
30:25i don't think you have a choice i think you kind of have to ask her
30:27no we don't
30:28oh yeah no i think i think samantha would disagree
30:31think about it
30:32how is samantha gonna feel when julie dies before you tell her
30:37and samantha realizes she could have saved that poor girl
30:41huh
30:42how about this
30:43let's give this a shot
30:44tell samantha that julie is near the red place
30:48and if she just talks to me for one more minute
30:51i i will tell you where that is
31:00sorry to interrupt i just need to borrow sergeant jen
31:03wait did something happen
31:05no no no i just need it for a second
31:06i'll be just outside okay i'm right here
31:09i'm sorry
31:11i'm sorry
31:12Ezra took another girl
31:14before he was arrested
31:15he says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to samantha
31:18no
31:19forget that
31:20he doesn't want to help us
31:21he just wants to keep traumatizing her
31:23i agree
31:24so do lopez and harper but
31:26he says that the girl's being held near the red place
31:29and if we told that doesn't mean that she'd agree to help
31:31no we're not saying that to her okay
31:33it's a trick
31:37amanda open the door
31:39what happened
31:40the red place i mean it's got to be some sort of trigger phrase
31:42he spent three years convincing her that the police were in league with him
31:46and she just heard us using his language
31:58let me do this
32:01we need medical attention
32:03no please i can't do anything
32:07i needed that
32:08no i needed that
32:11i needed that
32:12i needed that
32:18no

32:27first five levels of wilshire office complex garage are clear
32:31moving to lower level
32:47Oh, my God.
33:17Julie, you in there?
33:227 Lincoln 15. I have her. Lower level of the garage. Send an ambulance now.
33:31Hey. 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.
33:45I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. I know. You're doing great. You're doing great.
33:53She's right here. She just passed out. She's lost a lot of blood.
33:59She's in hypoblemic shock. We got to get her out of here.
34:10Nolan.
34:15Hey.
34:16Are you all right?
34:18Yeah. Um, Julie just got out of surgery. They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled
34:23through, 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.
34:36I said it had wheels.
34:37And that it was black and old. I meant it. She is alive because of you.
34:43Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
34:48I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
34:51Yeah.
34:56Do you mind if I can stay with you for a bit?
34:59Okay.
35:14What was the, um, the red place?
35:18There was this house that we stayed at early on. They had painted the bathroom red.
35:24I didn't. So 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
35:44be 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, 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,
36:09and he seemed great.
36:12Um, we went on a date, and he kidnapped me.
36:19The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die in another
36:26five minutes, and I probably would have.
36:29For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me, how I should have seen
36:36through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
36:42I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't, so eventually I stopped focusing on the things
36:51that I didn't do, and I focused on the thing that I did.
36:55And I survived.
36:57You survived.
36:59Samantha, you're here.
37:05I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
37:11But I do.
37:12I really, really do.
37:16Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:19Um, 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.
37:28It's okay.
37:29Don't worry, all right?
37:30You'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.
37:37We have your back, Samantha.
37:38For however long you need, until you feel safe.
37:46Hey.
37:48Seth's here.
37:49I'll be in my room.
37:51It's good to see you, too.
37:56There's another fan.
37:58Poor you.
38:04Um, look, you're right, man.
38:06The self-pity's got to stop.
38:09I want to do better.
38:09But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so will you help me?
38:18I would need radical honesty.
38:22One tiny white lie, and I'm out.
38:25In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
38:29Still has a sense of humor.
38:31You might make it through this after all.
38:35All right.
38:36No lies, no woes, me.
38:37Just head down, do the work.
38:39Be grateful.
38:40Deal?
38:41Deal.
38:47Come here, brother.
38:53Surprise!
38:55Hey, thanks.
38:57Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
39:01You did forget.
39:03Uh, no.
39:04It's definitely not my birthday.
39:06No.
39:07It's a different special day.
39:11Uh, wait.
39:13No, it's...
39:15Oh, my God.
39:18It's our anniversary.
39:20It is.
39:21You forgot.
39:22And I remember.
39:26Did you?
39:28Totally.
39:31Congrats, grad.
39:34Fine.
39:35I forgot.
39:36But I had to pull this together fast.
39:38But I remember it before you did, and that's what's important.
39:43Winning.
39:43Yeah.
39:44And you know what else is super important?
39:47No, what?
39:48The kids are with my mom.
39:50Oh.
39:51Ooh.
39:55Mm.
39:58Hi.
39:59Hi, Andy.
40:00How's it going?
40:01Oh, I missed you.
40:02Oh, God.
40:04What a day.
40:05How'd it go to the hospital?
40:06It's fine.
40:07Samantha's asleep right now, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
40:12Mm-hmm.
40:13Do I smell dinner?
40:15Don't get too excited.
40:16I ordered Italian.
40:17It's in the oven.
40:18Keep it warm.
40:19Hmm.
40:19I'm a hero.
40:20Hmm.
40:22Oh, God.
40:23Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:29Okay.
40:30Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not a
40:37UPS sorting facility.
40:38We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
40:42I...
40:44I agree.
40:47No time like the present.
40:48Let's do it.
40:48Wait, hold on.
40:49I'm tired.
40:51I'm very tired.
40:53I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I would...
40:56I could...
40:57I could sit here and...
40:58and supervise.
41:01I mean, how can I refuse that offer?
41:04You can't.
41:06All right, I'll get dinner.
41:12Yep.
41:27Good work today, Officer Nolan.
41:29Thanks.
41:31How come I don't feel better about it?
41:33I think you know the answer.
41:36Yeah.
41:39Listen, we can't change what already happened.
41:43All we can do is stop it from happening again.
41:46And you did that today.
41:49In a big way.
41:51Which means...
41:52Someone ought to buy you a drink.
41:56You volunteering?
41:57I am.
42:00No, I don't want to.
42:02You, you.
42:40Damn it.
