00:00I just want to see how you're doing.
00:01Never better.
00:04Right.
00:05Now 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?
00:12I'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 be the bigger man,
00:20and I fell down.
00:22And I 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 Plateau.
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.
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'm...
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.
01:24I 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.
01:33Oh, 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.
02:12Kevin,
02:13shelters were full,
02:14and I just needed a place to sleep.
02:16I 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.
02:25All right.
02:26Over here for your mugshot, please.
02:28Oh, okay.
02:30Face the camera.
02:32Stand still.
02:34See you right.
02:35I 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...
02:43Am I going to jail?
02:46You know, you're probably going to sight 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,
02:56but I can go check the break room for you.
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, that's...
03:09That's okay.
03:10You don't have to do that.
03:11Oh, 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 in my place,
03:17it looked like a tornado tore through a frat house.
03:20I didn't realize how much it was contributing
03:22into my depression until my mama came over
03:25and insisted on cleaning.
03:27That's okay.
03:27You're not my mom.
03:28You're not my mom.
03:29I can't...
03:30I can't do that myself.
03:33What I'm trying to say is,
03:35you know, I've been where you are.
03:38After my injury,
03:39I couldn't see how anything mattered.
03:41I couldn't play football against a wild body.
03:43Professionally.
03:43You can never do it again professionally.
03:46Right.
03:47It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
03:49I majored in physical...
03:50Can you please just shut up?
03:52You hurt your knee.
03:53I lost my leg.
03:55I'm not saying it's the same.
03:56Yes, you are.
03:57Miles, you didn't go to the NFL.
04:00You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:02But you can still run.
04:04What happened to you is nothing
04:07like what happened to me.
04:24I think we started off on the wrong foot.
04:29I 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?
04:47Today 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
05:00to you this morning,
05:01then that means...
05:02It means it was a test
05:03and I failed.
05:05Wow.
05:05What?
05:14Nolan.
05:19Yeah, what's up?
05:20You arrested a guy this morning,
05:22Ezra King?
05:22Well, that's the name he gave me.
05:24He didn't have any ID, though.
05:26There was a triple homicide
05:28in Oregon three years ago.
05:29A husband and wife
05:30were brutally murdered in their home.
05:32Their 15-year-old daughter
05:33was dragged into the woods.
05:35They found her bloody clothes
05:36a week later,
05:36but no burial sites.
05:37All they had was a fingerprint
05:39that didn't match anything
05:40in the system.
05:41Until I ran Ezra King's.
05:43Yeah.
05:47The victims were the Poston family.
05:49Craig, Ava,
05:50and 15-year-old Samantha.
05:51They lived on the edge
05:52of a state park
05:53outside Portland.
05:54The working theory is
05:55the killer broke into their house
05:57in the middle of the night,
05:58killed the father immediately,
05:59and then brutalized
06:00and executed the mother.
06:01Samantha most likely
06:02was dragged out into the woods
06:03and killed there.
06:05So what do we have
06:05in our suspect?
06:06Literally nothing.
06:07He says his name
06:08is Ezra King.
06:09That could be an alias.
06:10I caught him trespassing
06:11at the Willoughby Rec Center
06:12in the early morning.
06:13He said he came in
06:14to 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
06:19under various names.
06:20Haven't run them yet.
06:21We can assume they're stolen.
06:22Any in the name
06:23of the murder family?
06:24No.
06:25So how do you want
06:25to handle this?
06:28We have a window here.
06:29He doesn't know
06:30that we have connected him
06:31to the murders.
06:32He still thinks that he is here
06:33on trespassing charges.
06:34And it's in our best interest
06:36to keep him in the dark.
06:38So you should do the interview.
06:40Mm-hmm.
06:42Right.
06:44Okay.
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,
06:56didn't ask for an attorney,
06:57anything you get
06:57in your questioning,
06:58it's admissible.
06:59Nicky is not to push.
07:00Use your famous Nolan empathy
07:02to dig without seeming to dig.
07:04Okay?
07:04The second that he suspects
07:05that you are onto the murders,
07:06he's gonna bail.
07:06Got it?
07:07Got it.
07:10Um,
07:12can someone track down
07:12a sandwich,
07:13give me five or ten,
07:14and then bring it in?
07:14Smart.
07:15Can do.
07:16Remember, go easy.
07:17The more comfortable he feels,
07:18the better the chance
07:19he slips up.
07:20Understood.
07:20Right, but not too easy
07:21because we don't want him
07:22to feel like he's being
07:23handled with kid gloves.
07:25Just Goldilocks,
07:26this thing.
07:26Yeah.
07:27Yeah.
07:46Hey,
07:46sorry to keep your weight.
07:48Sorry,
07:49I thought you said
07:49I was gonna side out?
07:51Yeah,
07:51um,
07:51I know,
07:52but I found some
07:54credit cards
07:55when I was going
07:55through your things,
07:56credit cards
07:57that do not belong
07:57to you?
07:58Yeah,
07:58I found them,
07:59um,
08:00not all at the same time,
08:02you know,
08:02like,
08:03along the way
08:03people drop them,
08:04people throw them out
08:06by accident,
08:06and I know,
08:07you know,
08:08it was wrong
08:09to use them.
08:11I just,
08:11I get so hungry.
08:13I get it,
08:14but I'm just gonna
08:15need some clarity
08:16before I make a recommendation
08:17to the TA's office.
08:18Right now,
08:19your arrest
08:20falls into the
08:21wobbler category.
08:22Could be a misdemeanor,
08:24could be a felony.
08:24Now,
08:25I want to recommend
08:26the former,
08:27but I can't do that
08:28unless you are
08:29straight with me.
08:30No,
08:30I'm,
08:31I'm an open book.
08:33Okay,
08:34well,
08:34let's get started.
08:36Uh,
08:37I'm sorry,
08:37I tend to,
08:38uh,
08:40default towards
08:41disorganized,
08:42which is why
08:42I'm still in patrol
08:43and not a fancy detective.
08:46Don't get me wrong,
08:47I actually love
08:47working the streets,
08:49but,
08:49uh,
08:50every day is unique
08:51and I meet some
08:51fascinating people.
08:53Like me.
08:54Yes.
08:55We'll see.
08:57Okay.
08:58Your name is
08:59Ezra Kane,
09:00but you declined
09:01to give me a date of birth
09:02or social security number
09:04or basically anything
09:05I could use
09:05to confirm
09:06your identity
09:07and if you want
09:08the DA's office
09:09to play nice,
09:10that is not gonna fly.
09:11Would you believe
09:12I don't know the first
09:14and I don't have the second?
09:15No.
09:16Yeah.
09:16I didn't get
09:17the best start
09:18in life.
09:19Didn't know dad.
09:20Mom OD'd
09:21when I was like a baby.
09:22If I had a birth certificate,
09:24she probably used it
09:26to roll the blunts.
09:27Uh,
09:27I ricocheted
09:28through the foster system
09:30for a decade
09:31and at some point
09:33somebody just
09:33picked a birthday
09:35for me
09:35and,
09:36uh,
09:36I,
09:37whatever it is,
09:37it can't be right.
09:38What was it?
09:39I think it's like
09:40January 6th
09:41of 82
09:42or maybe 83
09:44and...
09:45Okay.
09:45Yeah.
09:46And,
09:47where are you born?
09:48Los Angeles?
09:48Yeah.
09:49Where are you?
09:50You know,
09:51I don't get a California vibe.
09:52No.
09:53East Coast.
09:54Pennsylvania.
09:55Right.
09:55That makes more sense.
09:57I'm from Idaho.
09:58I got to say
09:59growing up in Idaho
09:59was crazy hard.
10:01Hi,
10:02this is Detective
10:02Angela Lopez,
10:03Los Angeles Police Department.
10:05I need to run
10:05an Idaho record search.
10:07Last name,
10:08Kane with a K,
10:09first name Ezra.
10:10Possible birth date
10:11of 1-6-82
10:12or 83,
10:13but to be safe,
10:14search birth dates
10:14from 88 to 78.
10:16Thanks.
10:17The cold helped
10:18the swelling go down
10:19when I caught a beating.
10:21Well,
10:22I guess then that's why
10:22you moved to
10:23Southern California,
10:24if not so that you could
10:25just warm up a little bit.
10:26When was that?
10:28I'm sorry,
10:29I thought we were
10:30talking about credit cards.
10:32Yeah,
10:32no,
10:32listen,
10:33we're getting there.
10:35Establishing hardship
10:36can go a long way
10:37to swaying the DA,
10:39but if you are in a hurry,
10:41I can just recommend
10:41a felony
10:42and you can wait
10:42in your cell.
10:43No,
10:43no need to be like that.
10:46yeah,
10:48I just,
10:49I'm not used to
10:50people taking an interest
10:51and I guess
10:52it's just not easy
10:53stuff to talk about.
10:56Right.
10:58Excuse me.
11:02Ah,
11:03Jen,
11:03thank you very much.
11:04I'll do something
11:05more substantive to eat.
11:06Great.
11:08Okay,
11:10let's get to the credit cards.
11:11Yeah?
11:13Great,
11:14thanks.
11:15We have the credit card records.
11:21All right,
11:21only two cards
11:22have recent activity on them.
11:24One was used two nights ago
11:25at the Hollywood
11:25Premier Motel
11:27and that dollar amount
11:28suggests that
11:29he still has the room.
11:30Hot damn.
11:34It's everyone's
11:35worst nightmare,
11:35waking up in the middle
11:37of the night
11:37to find a psychopath
11:38in your house.
11:39Yeah,
11:39and yet it's statistically
11:41the least likely way
11:42to get murdered
11:42by a psychopath.
11:43I guess we both
11:44have some painful
11:45experience 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
11:55talked about
11:56what 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
12:03in 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
12:12particular trauma,
12:13so...
12:14Copy.
12:19Police!
12:23Come out
12:23with your hands empty
12:25and keep them
12:25where I can see them.
12:28Clear.
12:39There's nowhere
12:40for you to go.
12:41Come out.
12:45All right, step out.
12:47No, you need to go.
12:49Yeah, we're not
12:49going to do that.
12:50Come out of the tub, please.
12:52I'm fine.
12:54He's going to come back.
12:56You have to go.
12:59He's going to come back.
13:01You...
13:02You have to go.
13:04You have to go.
13:05Please.
13:06Is your name Samantha?
13:10Samantha?
13:10Please, just...
13:11Samantha?
13:13Samantha?
13:14Samantha?
13:14Samantha, the man who took you,
13:15he's in custody.
13:16He can't hurt you anymore, okay?
13:18I promise.
13:18I'm going to...
13:22I'm going to go.
13:23Samantha...
13:23It 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, they hang up on me.
13:36My dad, my 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 anyone else's experience.
13:47You lied to everyone about almost everything, over and over again.
13:52Now you don't get to set the bar on how people react when you finally tell them the truth.
13:57What you did hurt the people who cared about you.
13:59It's gonna take a lot more than an apology tour to fix that.
14:02I suck.
14:04I get it.
14:07Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
14:09I see you never think for breakfast.
14:11Get out of here.
14:17My parents.
14:18You have to call my parents.
14:19You have to tell them that I'm okay.
14:22Of course.
14:23The doctors will take good care of you.
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 to add more trauma.
14:42It'll be fine.
14:49You haven't eaten much.
14:51You haven't eaten much.
14:51Probably with the sandwich?
14:52No, 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 locked 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 inside 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 before everything comes out into the open.
15:20Go back in there and turn up the heat.
15:22Tell them we found a few recent charges on the various cards.
15:24It's mentioned the motel, but not like we've gone there or even that we will.
15:28And let's just see what happens.
15:31Right.
15:34This changes their profile, doesn't it?
15:37He kept that girl for three years.
15:40That...
15:40He'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.
15:58We 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 that wasn't me.
16:10Yeah, I mean...
16:11Why would I take refuge in a rec center if I had a place to sleep?
16:16So you're telling me if I went to this motel with your photograph, you would not be recognized?
16:21Absolutely not.
16:22No.
16:23I don't know why you would waste your time doing that.
16:26I mean, surely the LAPD has better things to do than spend resources on a...
16:31That's a killer that's 100% gonna plead out.
16:36Call him, I bluff.
16:37Look, I know, got a job to do.
16:39I'm just a guy trying to make his way in an unfair world without 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, but...
16:55I mean, he left her alone for 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 is her primary motivator.
17:06Maybe her only one.
17:10Hey.
17:11I'm sorry.
17:11I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives
17:16conduct a more formal interview.
17:19Okay.
17:19Okay.
17:22Oh.
17:27I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been, so I'm not gonna assume that
17:32you remember anything, all right?
17:33The man who took you, we have him in custody.
17:36Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
17:38Is that how you...
17:39I'm not supposed to talk about him.
17:40Who said that?
17:41Him?
17:43Yeah.
17:43I get it.
17:44Samantha.
17:45You're safe now.
17:47You are.
17:53Did you talk to my parents?
17:55Are they coming?
17:58Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
18:03No.
18:05No.
18:05I'm so sorry.
18:06No.
18:06What happened to them?
18:07Did he kill them?
18:09No.
18:09No.
18:10They're alive.
18:11He said they have to be alive.
18:13He said that...
18:14Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
18:17Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Amen.
18:29Amen.
18:29Amen.
18:29He made me call him Amen.
18:31The seventh spirit.
18:34Marquis of hell.
18:37Who commands 40 legions.
18:42Including the police.
18:45And he said that I was his soulmate.
18:50None of that is true.
18:52None of that is true.
18:52None 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 screams woke me up.
19:07I thought it was the TV.
19:09So I went out into the hall.
19:12Just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
19:18And there...
19:20There was this smell in the air.
19:25And it just made the hair on 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 had 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 about being cold.
20:23And by then...
20:25By then he knew I wasn't going to run.
20:28Okay.
20:31I think I have what I need for now.
20:34I'm going to let you get some rest, okay?
20:38He bought a car.
20:40After we got to L.A.
20:42I don't know if that matters.
20:44Yeah, no.
20:45It sure does.
20:45Do you remember what kind of car it was?
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.
21:03And, uh...
21:04That he would punish me
21:06if I wasn't a bad girl.
21:11Did he say something else
21:13about that?
21:17He said he was getting ready
21:19for after.
21:20After?
21:21After what?
21:22I thought he meant...
21:25I thought he meant
21:27after me.
21:29You felt like he was
21:29getting ready to kill you?
21:34And part of me
21:35was really relieved.
21:38Because...
21:39Because at least
21:40it would finally be over.
21:42I don't know.
21:46I don't know.
22:13Hey.
22:14Who's got to the motel?
22:15Lucy called.
22:16She interviewed Samantha.
22:17Our guy's got a car.
22:18Make and model?
22:19Black four-door sedan.
22:20Old.
22:21That's not particularly helpful.
22:22Find any trophies in the room?
22:23Uh, not yet.
22:24I'm waiting for TID to land
22:25before I started
22:26digging through Ezra's stuff.
22:27But, you know,
22:28I did find some drawings
22:29that had me freaked out a little.
22:30Freaked you out?
22:31This I gotta see.
22:32Yeah, hold on.
22:40Yeah, that's not okay.
22:42Look what Tim found
22:44in Ezra's stuff.
22:45Oh, yeah.
22:46No, that's not okay.
22:47No, but according to Lucy,
22:49it tracks.
22:49Ezra believes he's
22:50a demon named Amon,
22:52one of the Marquis
22:53of Hell.
22:57Everything okay?
23:00Hell.
23:03I was wrong.
23:05This is taking
23:07too long,
23:08which means you did
23:09send somebody
23:09to the motel.
23:11Why would you waste
23:12your time with a transient
23:13who stole a bunch
23:14of credit cards?
23:16Well, this started long
23:17before we found out
23:18about the motel, Ezra.
23:21Fingerprints.
23:30Credit where credit's due.
23:33You got that
23:34aw shucks
23:35every man cop thing
23:36down pat
23:36and I bought it
23:37for too long.
23:38That's on me.
23:39But I bet
23:40that there are cops
23:41way up higher
23:42on the food chain
23:43behind that mirror
23:44that are just
23:45dying to get in here,
23:46little pigs.
23:50Little pigs.
23:52Get your asses
23:53in here.
23:55I've enjoyed my time
23:56with Officer Appetizer.
23:57I'm ready
23:58for the main course.
24:01There they are.
24:04You must be
24:05the prosecutor.
24:06Wesley Evers.
24:06I'm Detective Lopez.
24:07This is Detective Harper.
24:09Is it okay
24:09if we call you Ezra
24:10or do you prefer
24:11Eamon?
24:14Someone's been
24:14talking out of school.
24:15I'm going to
24:16readvise you
24:17of your rights
24:17including the right
24:18to have an attorney
24:19present.
24:20Not necessary yet.
24:21I'll let you know.
24:22Can I have a moment?
24:23Yeah.
24:25What?
24:26No goodbye.
24:32I'm going to go
24:32check out the rec center
24:33where I found him.
24:34Something isn't adding up.
24:35Agreed.
24:36But before you go,
24:37any insights
24:37that you might have
24:38from sitting two feet
24:39from him
24:39that might not have
24:40translated to us
24:41through the window?
24:43Yeah.
24:43When he was talking
24:44about the cold
24:45of his childhood,
24:46that was real.
24:47You want to get him
24:47unsettled?
24:48Crank the A.C.
24:49Love it.
24:55Janitor locked up
24:56just after 10 last night.
24:57The place was empty
24:58after that.
24:58Well, this place is huge.
25:00There's no chance
25:00anybody saw or heard
25:01anything from the road.
25:04All right.
25:06This is about
25:07where I saw him.
25:08He heard me coming
25:09and then he took off
25:09that way through
25:10those doors.
25:22Got it.
25:25Car key.
25:26I just had ditched it
25:27when he heard me coming.
25:28What hit?
25:29The reason I had
25:30ditched the key
25:30is so you didn't
25:31find the car.
25:32Well, why?
25:33I don't know.
25:33Like I said,
25:34there were no cars
25:35here when I got you
25:35this morning.
25:36I scrubbed body cam,
25:37I scrubbed dash cam,
25:38no blacks in hand.
25:40Whoa.
25:40I got blood.
25:42There were no visible
25:43cuts on Ezra
25:43when I processed them.
25:47Right there.
25:48Have you always known
25:49you were one of
25:50the devil's minions?
25:51Or was that
25:52a later-in-life revelation?
25:56Oh, your disbelief
25:58in my truth,
26:01it makes no difference
26:02as long as Samantha
26:03believes that's all
26:04that matters.
26:04Yeah, that won't last.
26:06You don't control her
26:06anymore.
26:07Hmm, how little you know.
26:09I'm gonna be with her
26:10until the day she dies,
26:11which was gonna be today.
26:14You know why?
26:16It's the real reason
26:17I was trespassing
26:18this morning.
26:22Nolan.
26:30I have found
26:32that he saw me.
26:33He's got another girl.
26:36All right,
26:37Julie Reed
26:38was reported missing
26:39at 4 a.m.
26:40after she failed
26:40to come home
26:41from a friend's house.
26:42According to her parents,
26:43she was back and forth
26:43between the two homes
26:44all the time,
26:45and her route
26:45took her right past
26:46the rec center.
26:47Sounds like you've been
26:48watching her for a while,
26:49planning the perfect time
26:50and place to make his move.
26:51If the suspect's car
26:52was gone,
26:52when Officer Nolan
26:53arrived this morning,
26:54Ezra must have left
26:55and came back.
26:56Why would he do that?
26:56My best guess
26:57is that he left
26:58something at the scene,
26:59most likely his
27:00makeshift wallet.
27:01He only realized it
27:02after he'd left,
27:03but went back for it
27:03because he knew
27:04it would connect him
27:04to the abduction.
27:05But with a wounded girl
27:07in the trunk,
27:07he was faced with a problem.
27:08It would have been quicker
27:09to run back to the center
27:10and run inside.
27:11But that would have
27:12put him at a greater risk
27:13because if Julie
27:14was conscious
27:15and screaming her head off,
27:16it would draw
27:16a lot of attention.
27:17So he parked the car
27:18somewhere else,
27:18somewhere no one
27:19could hear her screaming.
27:20Went back on foot.
27:22How far would he
27:23be comfortable walking?
27:2410 minutes, 20?
27:26Average walking pace
27:27of a healthy male
27:27is probably
27:282 1⁄2,
27:293 miles an hour.
27:30Any faster,
27:31it might draw
27:31a lot of attention.
27:32Okay, so to be safe,
27:33let's say 3 1⁄2 miles
27:34per hour
27:35for a 20-minute walk.
27:36Which means we are looking
27:37at almost a square mile
27:39search radius.
27:40It's clear from the volume
27:41of blood at the scene
27:42that she was badly wounded
27:43and she was left
27:43on her own somewhere
27:44over 8 hours ago.
27:46Every further minute
27:47that passes reduces
27:48the likelihood
27:49we will find her alive.
27:53Where's Julie Reed?
27:54Oh, is that her name?
27:55No, because we were
27:57never properly introduced
27:58and can you please
27:58turn the A.C. off?
28:01It's like a freezer in here.
28:02No problem,
28:03just as soon as you
28:04tell us where she is.
28:05Hmm.
28:06You'd think I would
28:06trade my comfort
28:08for her.
28:09After all you've seen
28:10of my sacrifice.
28:11No, no, I guess not.
28:12But what would you
28:13trade for her?
28:14Now, that's an
28:14interesting question.
28:17Let's see.
28:18I would say
28:19a reduced sentence,
28:20but we all know
28:21that would be
28:22a hollow promise
28:22after all that I've done.
28:25Hmm.
28:26I would love to say
28:27a proper goodbye
28:28to fair Samantha.
28:30Not a chance in hell.
28:31That is a non-starter.
28:32There is no way
28:33we would ever let you
28:34re-traumatize that girl.
28:35I don't think you have a choice.
28:36I think you kind of
28:36have to ask her.
28:37No, we don't.
28:38Oh, yeah, no, I think
28:39Samantha would disagree.
28:41Think about it.
28:42How is Samantha
28:43going to feel
28:44when Julie dies
28:45before you tell her
28:47and Samantha realizes
28:48she could have
28:49saved that poor girl?
28:50Huh.
28:51How about this?
28:52Let's give this a shot.
28:54Tell Samantha
28:54that Julie is near
28:56the red place.
28:57And if she just
28:58talks to me
28:58for one more minute,
29:00I will tell you
29:01where that is.
29:09Sorry to interrupt.
29:10I just need
29:10to borrow Sergeant Jen.
29:12Wait, 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.
29:20Ezra took another girl
29:21before he was arrested.
29:23He says he'll tell us
29:24where she is
29:24if we let him
29:25talk to Samantha.
29:26No, forget that.
29:28He doesn't want to help us.
29:29He just wants
29:29to keep traumatizing her.
29:31Do you agree?
29:31So do you focus
29:32on Harper, but...
29:33He says that the girl
29:34is being held near
29:35the red place.
29:36And if we told that
29:37to Samantha,
29:37Samantha, she'd agree to help.
29:38No, we're not saying
29:39that to her, okay?
29:40It's a trick.
29:43Amanda, open the door.
29:45Oh, whatever.
29:46I'm too good.
29:47Please, it's got to be
29:48some sort of trigger phrase.
29:49He spent three years
29:50convincing her
29:50that the police
29:51were in league with Kim
29:52and she just heard us
29:53using his language.
29:55I can't believe you're doing it.
30:05Let me kill him!
30:07We need medical attention!
30:10Please, I can't do it!
30:12I need his head!
30:14No, I need his head!
30:17I need his head!
30:20I need his head!
30:237 out of 20,
30:24no sign of suspect vehicle
30:25at 1900 to Hawthorne.
30:277 out of 20,
30:27no sign of suspect vehicle
30:29at 1900 to Hawthorne.
30:307 out of 20,
30:31first five levels
30:32of Wilshire Office Complex
30:34garage are clear.
30:35Moving to lower level.
30:434 out of 20,
30:44second five levels
30:44in the lake,
30:44of Wilshire Street
30:45The fourth that has
30:45is murdered.
30:46I'm sure there is
30:46somewhere in the north.
30:467 out of 3,
30:58I'm sure there is
30:59It must be on the east.
30:59It must be on the east.
30:59It must be on the east.
31:056 in the north.
31:19Julie, you in there?
31:23I'm 715. 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 to 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.
31:53She's right here.
31:54She just passed out.
31:55She's lost a lot of blood.
31:58She's weak.
31:59She did hyperbilemic shock.
32:00We got to get her out of here.
32:14Hey.
32:14You all right?
32:17Yeah.
32:18Um, Julie just got out of surgery.
32:19They lost her on the table for a minute, but she pulled through, and 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.
32:35And 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 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, he 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, the first step of your recovery will be to stop blaming yourself.
33:41Sure.
33:43On it.
33:43I know, I know.
33:45It's easier said than done, but I know what I'm talking about, you know.
33:51I want to share something with you, something that happened to me, if that's okay.
33:56Yeah.
33:57Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy.
34:00And he loved dogs, and he was cute, and he seemed great.
34:05Um, we went on a date, and he kidnapped me.
34:11The details are a lot, but the short version is that I thought I was going to die in another
34:19five minutes, and I probably would have.
34:21For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me,
34:27how I should have seen through him, how I should have been faster, smarter.
34:34I wanted to believe that I was in control, but I wasn't.
34:40So, eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do, and I focused on the
34:44thing that I did.
34:46I survived.
34:48You survived.
34:50It's bad that you're here.
34:56I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are, okay?
35:01But I do.
35:03I really, really do.
35:06Hey, um, sorry to interrupt.
35:09Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
35:11She is rushing back from her vacation in London, but her plane won't get here until tomorrow
35:16afternoon.
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 has volunteered to keep you company in the coming days and weeks.
35:25Yeah.
35:26We have your back, Samantha.
35:27For however long you need, until 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.
35:52Um, look, you're right, man.
35:54The self-pity's got to stop.
35:56I want to do better.
35:57But clearly, I don't know how to, and you are the best guy I know, so will you help me?
36:05I would need radical honesty.
36:09One tiny white lie, I'm out.
36:12In that case, you are one of the best guys I know.
36:16Still has a sense of humor.
36:18You might make it through this after all.
36:21All right.
36:22No lies, no woes, me.
36:24Just head down, do the work, be grateful.
36:26Deal?
36:27Deal.
36:33Come here, buddy.
36:39Surprise!
36:41Hey.
36:42Thanks.
36:42Uh, you do know it's not my birthday, right?
36:46You did forget.
36:48Uh, no.
36:49It'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.
37:03It's our anniversary.
37:04It is.
37:05You forgot, and I remember.
37:10Did 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, and 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.
37:33Oh.
37:34Hmm.
37:39Hi.
37:41Hi, Andy.
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, so I'll go in and check in with her tomorrow.
37:54Mm-hmm.
37:55Do I smell dinner?
37:56Don't get too excited.
37:57I ordered Italian.
37:59It's in the oven.
37:59Keep it warm.
38:00Hmm.
38:00A hero.
38:02Hmm.
38:03Oh, God.
38:04Okay, so I need to say something, and I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
38:10Okay.
38:11After the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not a UPS
38:18sorting facility.
38:19We need to get these damn boxes out of here.
38:24I agree.
38:27No time like the present.
38:28Let's do it.
38:28Wait, hold on.
38:29I'm tired.
38:30I'm very tired.
38:33I thought maybe we could have dinner, and then I could sit here and supervise.
38:40I mean, how could I refuse that offer?
38:43You can't.
38:45All right, I'll get dinner.
38:50Yep.
39:05Good 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.
39:16Listen.
39:17We can't change what already happened.
39:20All we can do is stop it from happening again.
39:24And you did that today.
39:26in a big way, which means someone ought to buy you a drink.
39:33You volunteering?
39:34I am.
39:45This killer's underestimating you?
39:47Really?
39:48Good.
39:49They won't even see you coming.
39:53What now?
39:54We get him.
40:01Damn it.
40:02Damn it.
40:02Damn it.
40:02Damn it.
40:03Damn it.
40:03Damn it.
40:04Damn it.
40:05Damn it.
40:07Damn it.
