00:00I just want to see how you're doing.
00:01Never better.
00:04Right.
00:05Well, if I come in, maybe we can talk.
00:06I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:08So?
00:09Why do you care all of a sudden?
00:11I've been thinking a lot over the last few months
00:13about how I handle things between us.
00:17And I'm ashamed.
00:18My mama, she taught me how to beat a bigger man,
00:20and I fell down.
00:22I heard you've been trying to make amends with people,
00:24and, well, this is me doing the same.
00:30With the help of your favorite breakfast burrito
00:32from El Fleto.
00:52Hey, do we have any vegan bacon?
00:54Oh, God, I hope not.
00:56What?
00:56I don't think so.
01:01I found the bacon.
01:02Fake bacon.
01:03Great.
01:05You don't have to eat any if you don't want it.
01:08After work?
01:09Mm-hmm.
01:10I think we need to seriously finish unpacking.
01:11And by finish, I mean start.
01:13Oh, well, I mean...
01:14Sorry.
01:15Sorry.
01:17I think we're making progress.
01:19You know?
01:21Living in takes time.
01:22It only takes as much time as you let it be.
01:23I moved constantly when I was in the Army.
01:26Here's what I learned.
01:27If it's not unpacked in 48 hours,
01:29it will never be unpacked.
01:30If art sits on the floor longer than two days,
01:32it lives there now.
01:33Damn, we're well past that.
01:35I'm aware.
01:37This is killing you, isn't it?
01:38I think we should buckle down and get it done.
01:42Okay.
01:46I'm sorry.
01:47It's just...
01:49It won't feel like you've fully moved in
01:52until all the boxes are gone.
01:54That's nice.
01:56Look, if we rush the process,
01:58we're just going to make a mistake
01:59that we'll have to go back and fix later.
02:00So, trust me,
02:01if we move slowly and carefully,
02:04then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:07Okay.
02:12Yeah, the shelters were full,
02:14and I just needed a place to sleep, you know?
02:16So, I really wasn't hurting anyone.
02:18Well, it is still illegal to break into a rec center,
02:21even if it's just to find a place to sleep.
02:23You don't understand that.
02:25Right.
02:26Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:28Oh, okay.
02:30Face the camera.
02:31Stand still.
02:34To your right.
02:36I didn't really break in
02:36because the door was unlocked,
02:38so it's fine, you know?
02:39And I'm sorry.
02:40I just got really desperate for...
02:42Am I going to jail?
02:46You know, you're probably going to side out
02:48in just a couple of hours.
02:49Okie dokie.
02:51Is there any food?
02:53I haven't eaten in a while.
02:55Not normally, but I can...
02:56I'll check the break real quick.
02:57All right.
02:58I appreciate that.
03:03I'd offer you something to drink,
03:04but both glasses are dirty.
03:06Oh, I can't help with that.
03:08No.
03:08Hey, no, no, no.
03:09That's, um...
03:10That's okay.
03:10You don't have to do that.
03:11Uh, it's no problem.
03:12You know, a clean space,
03:13it really helps.
03:14Trust me.
03:15You know, after I blew out my knee,
03:16my place,
03:17it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:20I didn't realize how much
03:21it was contributing to my depression
03:23until, uh,
03:24my mama came over and...
03:25Yeah.
03:26...insisted on cleaning.
03:26That's okay.
03:27You're not my mom.
03:28You're not my mom.
03:29I can...
03:30I do that myself.
03:33What I'm trying to say is,
03:35you know,
03:36I've been where you are.
03:38After my injury,
03:39I couldn't see how anything mattered.
03:40I couldn't play football again,
03:42so why bother?
03:43Professionally.
03:43You can never do it again professionally.
03:46Right.
03:47It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
03:49Like, I majored in...
03:50Can you please just shut up?
03:52You hurt your knee.
03:53I lost my leg.
03:54I'm not saying it's the same.
03:56Yes, you are.
03:57Miles,
03:58you didn't go to the NFL.
04:00You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:02But you can still run.
04:04What happened to you
04:05is nothing like what happened to me.
04:11Uh.
04:17Uh.
04:19Uh.
04:24I think we started off on the wrong foot.
04:29I-I didn't mean anything by that.
04:32You're right.
04:33I don't know what you're going through.
04:36But I want to.
04:38So how about I stop talking
04:39and I start listening?
04:44Oh, no.
04:46What?
04:48Today is my wedding anniversary,
04:49and I totally spaced.
04:51Oh, yeah, that's not great.
04:52But Wesley must have forgot, too,
04:54if he didn't say anything this morning, right?
04:55No.
04:56Wesley remembers everything about us.
04:58If Wesley remembers everything
04:59and he did not say happy anniversary to you this morning,
05:01then that means...
05:02It means it was a test and I failed.
05:05Wow.
05:05What?
05:14Nolan?
05:15Nolan.
05:19Yeah, what's up?
05:20You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Kay?
05:22Uh, well, that's the name he gave me.
05:24He didn't have any ID, though.
05:25There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
05:29A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
05:32Their 15-year-old daughter was dragged into the woods.
05:35They found her bloody clothes a week later,
05:36but no burial sites.
05:37All they had was a fingerprint
05:39that didn't match anything in the system.
05:41Until I ran Ezra Kayes.
05:43Yeah.
05:47The victims were the Poston family.
05:49Craig, Ava, and 15-year-old Samantha.
05:51They lived on the edge of a state park outside Portland.
05:54The working theory is
05:55the killer broke into their house in the middle of the night,
05:58killed the father immediately,
05:59and then brutalized and executed the mother.
06:01Samantha most likely was dragged out into the woods
06:03and killed there.
06:04So what do we have in our suspect?
06:06Literally nothing.
06:07He says his name is Ezra Kaye.
06:09That could be an alias.
06:10I caught him trespassing at the Willoughby Rec Center
06:12in the early morning.
06:13He said he came in to get out of the cold.
06:15Any ID?
06:16No.
06:16He had a little bit of cash on him
06:18and a bunch of credit cards under various names.
06:20Haven't run them yet.
06:21We can assume they're stolen.
06:22Any in the name of the murder family?
06:24No.
06:25So how do you want to handle this?
06:28We have a window here.
06:29He doesn't know that we have connected him to the murders.
06:32He still thinks that he is here on trespassing charges.
06:34And it's in our best interest to keep him in the dark.
06:38So you should do the interview.
06:40Mm-hmm.
06:42Right.
06:44Okay.
06:48So.
06:50Any advice?
06:51I mean, you read him his rights?
06:53Yeah, but not for this.
06:54That doesn't matter.
06:55As long as he acknowledged, didn't ask for an attorney,
06:57anything you get in your questioning, it's admissible.
06:59Nicky is not to push.
07:00Use your famous Nolan empathy to dig without seeming to dig.
07:04Okay?
07:04The second that he suspects that you are onto the murders,
07:06he's going to bail.
07:07Got it?
07:07Got it.
07:10Um, can someone track down a sandwich,
07:13give me five or ten, and then bring it in?
07:14Smart.
07:15Can do.
07:15Okay.
07:16Remember, go easy.
07:17The more comfortable he feels,
07:18the better the chance he slips up.
07:20Understood.
07:20Right, but not too easy,
07:21because we don't want him to feel like he's being handled with kid gloves.
07:24Just Goldilocks, this thing.
07:26Mm-hmm.
07:26Yeah.
07:46Hey, sorry to keep your weight.
07:48Sorry, I thought you said I was going to cite Albert.
07:51Yeah, um, I know,
07:52but I found some credit cards when I was going through your things,
07:56credit cards that do not belong to you?
07:58Yeah, I found them, um,
08:00not all at the same time.
08:02You know, like, along the way,
08:03people drop them,
08:04people throw them out by accident,
08:06and I know, you know,
08:08it was wrong to use them.
08:11I just, I get so hungry.
08:13I get it,
08:14but I'm just going to need some clarity
08:16before I make a recommendation to the TA's office.
08:18Right now, your arrest falls into the wobbler category.
08:22Could be a misdemeanor, could be a felony.
08:24Now, I want to recommend the former,
08:27but I can't do that unless you are straight with me.
08:30No, I'm,
08:31I'm an open book.
08:33Okay.
08:33All right.
08:35Let's get started.
08:36Uh, I'm sorry.
08:37I tend to, uh,
08:40default towards disorganized,
08:41which is why I'm still in patrol
08:43and not a fancy detective.
08:46Don't get me wrong.
08:47I actually love working the streets,
08:49but, uh,
08:50every day is unique,
08:51and I meet some fascinating people.
08:53Like me.
08:54Yes.
08:55We'll see.
08:57Okay.
08:58Your name is Ezra Kane,
09:00but you declined to give me a date of birth
09:02or social security number
09:04or basically anything I could use
09:05to confirm your identity,
09:07and if you want the DA's office to play nice,
09:10that is not going to fly.
09:11Would you believe I don't know the first
09:14and I don't have the second?
09:15No.
09:16Yeah.
09:16I didn't get the best start in life.
09:19Didn't know Dad.
09:20Mom OD'd when I was like a baby.
09:22If I had a birth certificate,
09:24she probably used it to roll the bloods.
09:26Uh, I ricocheted through the foster system
09:30for a decade,
09:31and at some point,
09:32somebody just picked a birthday for me,
09:35and, uh, I...
09:36Whatever it is, it can't be right.
09:38What was it?
09:39I think it's, like, January 6th
09:41of 82 or maybe 83.
09:44Okay.
09:45Yeah.
09:46And where are you born in Los Angeles?
09:48Yeah.
09:49Where are you?
09:50You know, I don't get a California vibe.
09:52Oh.
09:53East Coast.
09:54Pennsylvania.
09:55Right.
09:55That makes more sense.
09:57I'm from Idaho.
09:58I got to say growing up in Idaho
09:59was pretty hard.
10:01Hi, this is Detective Angela Lopez,
10:03Los Angeles Police Department.
10:05I need to run an Idaho record search.
10:07Last name, Kane with a K,
10:09first name Ezra.
10:10Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83,
10:13but to be safe,
10:14search birth dates from 88 to 78.
10:16Thanks.
10:17The cold helped the swelling go down
10:19when I caught a beating.
10:21Well, I guess then that's why
10:22you moved to Southern California,
10:24if not so that you could just
10:25warm up a little bit.
10:26When was that?
10:28I'm sorry.
10:29I thought we were talking about
10:30credit cards.
10:32Yeah.
10:32No, listen.
10:33We're getting there.
10:35Establishing hardship can go a long way
10:37to swaying the DA,
10:39but if you are in a hurry,
10:41I can just recommend a felony
10:42and you can wait on yourself.
10:43No.
10:43No need to be like that.
10:44I just, I'm not used to people
10:50taking an interest
10:51and I guess it's just not easy
10:53stuff to talk about.
10:56All right.
10:58Excuse me.
11:02Ah, Jen, thank you very much.
11:04I've got to do something
11:05more substantive to eat.
11:06Great.
11:08Okay.
11:09Let's get to the credit cards.
11:11Yeah?
11:13Great, thanks.
11:15We have the credit card records.
11:21All right, only two cards
11:22have recent activity on them.
11:24One was used two nights ago
11:25at the Hollywood Premier Motel.
11:27That dollar amount suggests
11:28that he still has the room.
11:30Hot damn.
11:34It's everyone's worst nightmare.
11:35Waking up in the middle of the night
11:37to find a psychopath in your house.
11:39Yeah, and yet it's statistically
11:41the least likely way
11:42to get murdered by a psychopath.
11:43I guess we both have
11:45some painful experience there.
11:46Is there a problem?
11:48Hi.
11:49Have you seen this man?
11:53Room 216.
11:54So, you know,
11:55we've never really talked
11:55about what happened to you.
11:58Not that we should have,
11:59but, you know,
12:00just with my sister's case
12:01and everything,
12:02you've been all up in my trauma
12:04and...
12:06You know what?
12:07I'm sorry.
12:07I shouldn't have brought it up.
12:08No, hey, listen.
12:09It's fine.
12:10It's natural to be curious.
12:11I just have no interest
12:12in revisiting that particular trauma, so...
12:14Copy.
12:19Police!
12:23Come out with your hands empty
12:24and keep them where I can see them.
12:28Clear.
12:30Clear.
12:33Clear.
12:36Clear.
12:39There's nowhere for you to go.
12:41Come out.
12:45All right, step out.
12:47No.
12:47You need to go.
12:49Yeah, we're not gonna do that.
12:50Come out of the tub, please.
12:52I'm fine.
12:55He's gonna come back.
12:56You have to go.
12:59He's going to come back.
13:01You...
13:01You have to go.
13:04You have to go.
13:05Please.
13:06Is your name Samantha?
13:10Please, just...
13:11Samantha.
13:13Samantha, the man who took you,
13:15he's in custody.
13:16He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
13:18I promise.
13:24It is not fair.
13:25I came clean to everyone.
13:27I've confessed every lie,
13:29every sin,
13:30and nobody's forgiven me
13:32for anything that I've done.
13:33Half the people that I called,
13:35they hang up on me.
13:36My dad...
13:37My dad won't even take my calls.
13:40You really haven't changed, though.
13:42Excuse me?
13:42You're doing the same thing you always have.
13:44You're not considering
13:45anyone else's experience.
13:47You lied to everyone
13:49about almost everything,
13:50over and over again.
13:52Now you don't get to set the bar
13:53on how people react
13:55when you finally tell them the truth.
13:57What you did hurt the people
13:58who cared about you.
13:59It's gonna take a lot more
14:00than an apology to her to fix that.
14:02I suck.
14:04I get it.
14:07Thanks for coming over
14:08to clear that up.
14:09I'll see you never.
14:10Thanks for breakfast.
14:11Get out of here.
14:17My parents.
14:18You have to call my parents.
14:19You have to tell them
14:20that I'm okay.
14:22Yeah, of course.
14:23The doctors will take good care of you.
14:25Please.
14:25Please.
14:25Please.
14:26Please.
14:26Please.
14:29She doesn't know they're dead.
14:32I mean, he kept her isolated.
14:33She only knows what he told her.
14:34Well, I shouldn't have said yes.
14:35I wasn't thinking.
14:37Hey, look.
14:37It was instinct, all right?
14:39Try not to beat yourself up.
14:40She's in shock.
14:41It wasn't the moment
14:41to add more trauma.
14:42It'll be fine.
14:43Yeah.
14:44Yeah.
14:45Yeah.
14:49You haven't eaten much.
14:51Problem with the sandwich?
14:51No, no.
14:52This is great.
14:53I'm just...
14:53You know what it is?
14:54I'm a little claustrophobic.
14:55I spent a lot of nights as a kid
14:57locked up in small spaces.
14:59Sorry to interrupt.
15:00Can I steal you for a second?
15:02Of course.
15:02Excuse me.
15:04Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston
15:07inside Ezra's motel room.
15:09Is she...
15:10She's alive and in no immediate medical danger.
15:14But beyond that...
15:15Okay, so are you taking over the interview?
15:17Not yet.
15:17There's still room for you to squeeze in
15:19before everything comes out into the open.
15:20Go back in there and turn up the heat.
15:22Tell him we found a few recent charges
15:23on the various cards.
15:25Mention the motel,
15:26but not like we've gone there
15:27or even that we will.
15:28And let's just see what happens.
15:31Right.
15:34This changes the profile, doesn't it?
15:37He kept that girl for three years.
15:39that he's not just a murderer.
15:42No.
15:43He's worse.
15:51Sorry about that.
15:52Yeah, everything okay?
15:55I'm gonna be straight with you, Ezra.
15:57We ran those credit cards
15:59and we found some recent charges,
16:01one of them being to a motel in Taitown.
16:05Well, hold on.
16:07When was the motel booked?
16:09Because...
16:09That wasn't me.
16:10Yeah, I mean...
16:11Why would I take refuge in a rec center
16:13if I had a place to sleep?
16:16So you're telling me
16:17if I went to this motel with your photograph
16:19you would not be recognized?
16:21Absolutely not.
16:22No.
16:24I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
16:26I mean, surely the LAPD
16:27has better things to do
16:29than spend resources on a wobbler
16:31that's 100% gonna plead out.
16:35Call him my bluff.
16:37Look, I know I've got a job to do.
16:39I'm just a guy
16:41trying to make his way
16:44in an unfair world
16:45without hurting anyone.
16:49Can you explain something for me?
16:51Why didn't she leave?
16:52Yeah.
16:52I mean, I know what they taught us in the academy,
16:54but, I mean, he left her alone
16:56for at least 12 hours.
16:58It's the opposite of fight or flight.
16:59You know, it's freeze and appease.
17:01You saw how scared she was of him.
17:03That level of fear
17:04is her primary motivator.
17:06Maybe her only one.
17:10Hey.
17:11I'm sorry.
17:12I wish I could let you rest,
17:13but I need to ask you some questions
17:15before the detectives conduct
17:16a more formal interview.
17:19Okay.
17:19Okay.
17:27I can't imagine
17:28how overwhelming the last hour has been,
17:30so I'm not gonna assume
17:31that you remember anything, all right?
17:33The man who took you,
17:34we have him in custody.
17:36Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
17:38Is that how you know him?
17:39I'm not supposed to talk about him.
17:40Who said that?
17:41Him?
17:43Yeah, I get it.
17:45Samantha, you're safe now.
17:47You are.
17:52Did you talk to my parents?
17:55Are they coming?
17:58Samantha, I'm very sorry,
18:00but your parents are deceased.
18:03No.
18:05No.
18:05I'm so sorry.
18:06No, what happened to them?
18:07Did he kill them?
18:08No.
18:09No, they're alive.
18:10He said they have to be alive.
18:13He said that...
18:14Did he say he would hurt them
18:16if you didn't cooperate?
18:17Is that the threat he used
18:18to keep you with him?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Eamon.
18:29He made me call him Eamon.
18:31The seventh spirit.
18:34Marquis of hell.
18:37Who commands 40 legions.
18:42Including the police.
18:46And he said that I was his soulmate.
18:50None of that is true.
18:52Especially the police part,
18:53but it doesn't make any of that less terrifying.
18:58Do you remember the night that he took you?
19:05The screens woke me up.
19:07I thought it was the TV,
19:09so I went out into the hall
19:12just to ask my parents
19:13if they could turn it down.
19:18And there...
19:20There was this...
19:23smell in the air.
19:25And it just made the hair
19:26on the back of my neck stand up.
19:30So I called out,
19:32and that's when he stepped into the hall.
19:38I couldn't really see him.
19:42But I just...
19:45I knew in my body
19:49that he was evil.
19:52Does that sound crazy?
19:54No.
19:56No.
20:00Where did he take you?
20:02A cabin in the woods.
20:04Or at least it used to be.
20:06I mean, I don't think anyone
20:07had lived there for years, but...
20:12That was my home
20:14for the next eight months.
20:16Do you remember why you guys moved?
20:19Winter came.
20:20He has this thing
20:21about being cold.
20:23And by then...
20:24By then he knew I wasn't gonna run.
20:28Okay.
20:29Um...
20:31I think I have what I need for now.
20:34I'm gonna let you get some rest, okay?
20:37He bought a car.
20:40After we got to L.A.
20:42I don't...
20:43I don't know if that matters.
20:44Yeah, no.
20:44It sure does.
20:45Do you remember what kind of car it was?
20:48Um, it...
20:48It was old.
20:50Four doors.
20:51Black.
20:52So he would have taken that car
20:54when he left the motel then?
20:55Yeah.
20:56Did he tell you where he was going?
20:57No.
20:58He just said that
21:00he may be a while.
21:01And, uh...
21:04That he would punish me
21:06if I wasn't a good girl.
21:11Did he say something else?
21:13Something about that?
21:17He said he was getting ready for after.
21:20After?
21:21After what?
21:22I thought he meant...
21:26I thought he meant after me.
21:28You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
21:34That part of me was really relieved.
21:38Because...
21:38Because at least it would finally be over.
21:42I don't know.
22:13Hey. Who's got to the motel?
22:15Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha. Our guy's got a car.
22:18Make and model?
22:19Black four-door sedan. Old.
22:21That's not particularly helpful.
22:22Find any trophies in the room?
22:24Uh, not yet. I'm waiting for TID to land before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
22:27But, you know, I did find some drawings that have me freaked out a little.
22:30Freaked you out? This I gotta see.
22:32Yeah, hold on.
22:40Yeah, that's not okay.
22:42Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
22:45Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
22:47No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
22:50Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon.
22:52One of the marquees of hell.
22:57Everything okay?
23:00Hell.
23:03I was wrong.
23:04This is taking...
23:07too long, which means you did send somebody to the motel.
23:10Why would you waste your time with a transient who stole a bunch of credit cards?
23:16Oh, this started long before we found out about the motel, Ezra.
23:21Fingerprints.
23:30Credit where credit's due.
23:33You got that aw, shucks, everyman cop thing down pat, and I bought it.
23:37For too long, that's on me.
23:39But I bet that there are cops way up higher on the food chain behind that mirror.
23:44They're just dying to get in here, little pigs.
23:50Little pigs.
23:52Get your asses in here.
23:55I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
23:57I'm ready for the main course.
24:01There they are.
24:04They must be the prosecutor.
24:06Wesley Evers.
24:06I'm Detective Lopez.
24:08This is Detective Harper.
24:09Is it okay if we call you Ezra, or do you prefer Eamon?
24:14Someone's been talking out of school.
24:15I'm going to readvise you of your rights, including the right to have an attorney present.
24:20Not necessary yet.
24:21I'll let you know.
24:22Can I have a moment?
24:23Yeah.
24:25What?
24:26No goodbye.
24:30I'm going to go check out the rec center where I found him.
24:34Something isn't adding up.
24:35Agreed.
24:36But before you go, any insights that you might have from sitting two feet from him that might
24:40not have translated to us through the window?
24:43Yeah.
24:43When he was talking about the cold of his childhood, that was real.
24:47You want to get him unsettled?
24:48Crank the AC.
24:49Love it.
24:55My janitor locked up just after 10 last night.
24:57The place was empty after that.
24:58Well, this place is huge.
25:00There's no chance anybody saw or heard anything from the road.
25:04All right.
25:06This is about where I saw him.
25:08He heard me coming, and then he took off that way through those doors.
25:22Got it.
25:25Car key.
25:26I just had ditched it when he heard me coming.
25:28What hit?
25:29The only reason I ditched the key is so you didn't find the car.
25:32Well, why?
25:33I don't know.
25:33Like I said, there were no cars here when I got here this morning.
25:36I scrubbed body cam.
25:37I scrubbed dash cam.
25:38No black sedan.
25:40Whoa.
25:40I got blood.
25:42There were no visible cuts on Ezra when I processed them.
25:47Right there.
25:48Have you always known you were one of the devil's minions?
25:51Or was that a later in life revelation?
25:54That's it.
25:56Oh, your disbelief in my truth, it makes no difference as long as Samantha believes that's
26:04all that matters.
26:04Yeah, that won't last.
26:06You don't control her anymore.
26:07Hmm, how little you know.
26:09I'm going to be with her until the day she dies, which was going to be today.
26:14You know why?
26:15Um, it's the real reason I was trespassing this morning.
26:22Nolan.
26:30I have found that he sold me.
26:33He's good as a girl.
26:36All right, Julie Reed was reported missing at 4 a.m. after she failed to come home from
26:41a friend's house.
26:42According to her parents, she was back and forth between the two homes all the time,
26:45and her route took her right past the rec center.
26:47Sounds like you've been watching her for a while, planning the perfect time and place
26:50to make his move.
26:51If the suspect Carl was gone when Officer Nolan arrived this morning, Ezra must have
26:55left and came back.
26:56Why would he do that?
26:56My best guess is that he left something at the scene, most likely his makeshift wallet.
27:01He only realized it after he'd left, but went back for it because he knew it would
27:04connect him to the abduction.
27:05But with a wounded girl in the trunk, he was faced with a problem.
27:08It would have been quicker to run back to the center and run inside.
27:11But that would have put him at a greater risk because if Julie was conscious and screaming
27:15her head off, it would draw a lot of attention.
27:17So he parked the car somewhere else, somewhere no one could hear her screaming, went back
27:21on foot.
27:21Right.
27:21But how far would he be comfortable walking?
27:2410 minutes, 20?
27:25The average walking pace of a healthy male is probably 2 1⁄2, 3 miles an hour.
27:30Any faster, it might draw a lot of attention.
27:32Okay.
27:32So to be safe, let's say 3 1⁄2 miles per hour for a 20-minute walk.
27:36Which means we are looking at almost a square mile search radius.
27:40It's clear from the volume of blood at the scene that she was badly wounded.
27:43She was left on her own somewhere over eight hours ago.
27:46Every further minute that passes reduces the likelihood we will find her alive.
27:52Where is Julie Reed?
27:54Oh, is that her name?
27:55No, because we were never properly introduced.
27:58Can you please turn the A.C. off?
28:00It's like a freezer in here.
28:02No problem.
28:03Just as soon as you tell us where she is.
28:05Hmm.
28:06You think I would trade my comfort for her?
28:09After all you've seen of my sacrifice?
28:11No, no.
28:11I guess not.
28:12But what would you trade for her?
28:14Now, that's an interesting question.
28:17Let's see.
28:17I would say a reduced sentence, but we all know that would be a hollow promise.
28:23After all that done.
28:25Hmm.
28:26I would love to say a proper goodbye to fair Samantha.
28:30Not a chance in hell.
28:31That is a non-starter.
28:32There is no way we would ever let you re-traumatize that girl.
28:35I don't think you have a choice.
28:36I think you kind of have to ask her.
28:37No, we don't.
28:38Oh, yeah, no.
28:39I think Samantha would disagree.
28:41Think about it.
28:42How is Samantha going to feel when Julie dies before you tell her,
28:47and Samantha realizes she could have saved that poor girl?
28:51Huh.
28:51How about this?
28:52Let's give this a shot.
28:53Tell Samantha that Julie is near the red place.
28:57And if she just talks to me for one more minute,
29:00I will tell you where that is.
29:09Sorry to interrupt.
29:10I just need to borrow Sergeant Jen.
29:11Wait, did something happen?
29:13No, no, no.
29:14I just need it for a second.
29:15I'll be just outside, okay?
29:16I'm right here.
29:17Okay.
29:20Ezra took another girl before he was arrested.
29:23He says he'll tell us where she is if we let him talk to Samantha.
29:26No.
29:27Forget that.
29:28He doesn't want to help us.
29:29He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
29:31He agreed.
29:31So did we focus on Harper,
29:33but he says that the girl's being held near the red place.
29:36And if we told that to Samantha,
29:37she'd agree to help.
29:38We're not saying that to her, okay?
29:40It's a trick.
29:43Samantha, open the door.
29:45Oh, what happened?
29:46The red place?
29:47I mean, it's got to be some sort of trigger phrase.
29:49He spent three years convincing her
29:50that the police were in league with him,
29:52and she just heard us using his language.
30:05Let me do this.
30:07You better call attention.
30:10Please.
30:11Please, let me give you.
30:12I need to say it.
30:14I need to say it.
30:17I need to say it.
30:237-0-20, no sign of suspect vehicle at 1900 to Hawthorne.
30:267-0-4, the truck's sighted 801 Mercury is empty in vehicles.
30:307-0-15, first five levels of Wilshire Office Complex Garage are clear.
30:35Moving to lower level.
31:187-0-15, first five levels of Wilshire Office is empty in vehicles.
31:247-0-15, I have her.
31:25Lower level of the garage.
31:26Set an ambulance now.
31:32Hey.
31:33Hey, Julie.
31:34I'm Officer Nolan.
31:35I'm here to help you.
31:36Now, I'm going to have to put some pressure on that wound
31:38to stop the bleeding, okay?
31:40But it is going to hurt.
31:41I am so sorry.
31:43Easy.
31:45I'm sorry.
31:46I'm sorry.
31:47I know.
31:47I know.
31:48You're doing great.
31:49You're doing great.
31:52You're doing great.
31:53She's right here.
31:54She just passed out.
31:55She's lost a lot of blood.
31:56Oh, man.
31:58Oh, man.
31:58Pulse is weak.
31:59She did hypoblendic shock.
32:00We got to get her out of here.
32:09Hey.
32:14You all right?
32:17Yeah, um, Julie just got out of surgery.
32:19They lost her on the table for a minute,
32:21but she pulled through,
32:21and she's recovering in the ICU.
32:23Thank God.
32:24Can I talk to her when she's ready?
32:27Uh, I'll ask.
32:29You know, we wouldn't have found her without you.
32:32You gave us the car.
32:33I said it had wheels.
32:34And that it was black and old.
32:36I meant it.
32:38She is alive because of you.
32:40Samantha's been incredibly brave today.
32:45I'll, uh, I'll come talk to you guys later.
32:48Yeah.
32:53Do you mind if I can sit with you for a bit?
32:56Okay.
33:09What was the, um, the red place?
33:13There was this house that we stayed at early on.
33:17They had painted the bathroom red.
33:21So when I was bad,
33:24he would take me in there to punish me.
33:31I know you're not ready to hear this.
33:33Um, but when it's time,
33:36the first step of your recovery will be to
33:39stop blaming yourself.
33:41Sure.
33:43Honest.
33:43I know.
33:44I know.
33:45It's easier said than done, but
33:48I know what I'm talking about, you know.
33:51I want to share something with you,
33:52something that happened to me,
33:54if that's okay.
33:56Yeah.
33:57Um, so my rookie year,
33:58as a cop,
33:59I met this guy.
34:00And he loved dogs,
34:02and he was cute,
34:03and he seemed great.
34:05Um,
34:06we went on a date,
34:07and he,
34:08he kidnapped me.
34:11The details are a lot,
34:13but the short version
34:14is that I thought I was going to die.
34:18in another five minutes,
34:19and I probably would have.
34:21For months afterwards,
34:23I just obsessed about every second with him
34:26before he drugged me,
34:27how I should have seen through him,
34:28how I should have been faster,
34:30smarter.
34:34I wanted to believe that I was in control,
34:38but I wasn't.
34:39So, eventually,
34:41I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do,
34:43and I focused on the thing that I did.
34:46I survived.
34:48You survived.
34:50Samantha, you're here.
34:56I know that you don't see how brave,
34:59how powerful you are,
35:00okay?
35:01But I do.
35:03I really, really do.
35:06Hey, um,
35:07sorry to interrupt.
35:09Um,
35:09I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
35:11She is rushing back
35:13from her vacation in London,
35:14but her plane won't get here
35:15until tomorrow afternoon.
35:17It's okay.
35:18Don't worry, all right?
35:19You're not going to be alone.
35:20Every female cop at Mid-Wilshire
35:22has volunteered to keep you company
35:24in the coming days and weeks.
35:25Yeah.
35:26We have your back, Samantha.
35:27for however long you need
35:29until you feel safe.
35:35Hey.
35:36Seth's here.
35:37I'll be in my room.
35:39It's good to see you, too.
35:44There's another fan.
35:46Poor you.
35:50Um,
35:52look, you're right, man.
35:55Self-pity's got to stop.
35:56I want to do better.
35:57But clearly,
35:58I don't know how to,
36:00and you are the best guy I know,
36:03so...
36:04will you help me?
36:05I would need radical honesty.
36:09One tiny white lie,
36:10I'm out.
36:12In that case,
36:13you are one of the best guys I know.
36:16Still has a sense of humor.
36:17You might make it through this after all.
36:21All right.
36:22No lies, no woes, me.
36:24Just head down,
36:24do the work,
36:25be grateful.
36:26Do?
36:27Yeah.
36:33Come here, Billy.
36:39Surprise!
36:41Hey.
36:42Thanks.
36:42Uh, you do know
36:44it's not my birthday, right?
36:46You did forget.
36:48Uh, no.
36:48It's definitely not my birthday.
36:50No.
36:52It's a different special day.
36:56Uh, wait.
36:57No, it's...
36:59Oh, my God.
37:02It's our anniversary.
37:04It is.
37:05You forgot,
37:06and I remember.
37:09Did you?
37:11Totally.
37:15Congrats, grad.
37:17Fine.
37:18I forgot.
37:19But I had to pull this together fast.
37:21But I remember it before you did,
37:24and that's what's important.
37:26Winning.
37:26Yeah.
37:27And you know what else is super important?
37:30No.
37:30What?
37:31The kids are with my mom.
37:32Oh.
37:34Oh.
37:40Hi.
37:41Hey, honey.
37:42How's it going?
37:43Oh, I missed you.
37:45Oh, God.
37:46What a day.
37:47How'd I go to the hospital?
37:48It's fine.
37:49Samantha is asleep right now,
37:50so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
37:54Mm-hmm.
37:55Do I smell thinner?
37:56Don't get too excited.
37:57I ordered Italian.
37:59It's in the oven.
37:59Keep them warm.
38:00Hmm.
38:00What a hero.
38:02Hmm.
38:03Oh, God.
38:04Okay, so I need to say something,
38:06and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
38:10Okay.
38:10Um, after the day that I've had.
38:14I really need this place to feel like a refuge
38:16and not a UPS sorting facility.
38:19We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
38:24I, I agree.
38:27No time like the present.
38:28Let's do it.
38:28Wait, hold on.
38:29I'm tired.
38:30I'm, I'm very tired.
38:33I thought maybe we could have dinner,
38:35and then I would, I could, I could sit here and,
38:38and supervise.
38:40I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
38:43You can't.
38:44All right, I'll get dinner.
38:50Yep.
39:04Good work today, Officer Nola.
39:07Thanks.
39:09How come I don't feel better about it?
39:11I think you know the answer.
39:13Yeah.
39:17Listen, we can't change what already happened.
39:20All we can do is stop it from happening again.
