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 can talk.
00:27I heard you've been skipping physical therapy.
00:29So?
00:30Why 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?
01:18Oh, God, I hope not.
01:19What?
01:20I don't think so.
01:25I found the bacon.
01:26Fake bacon.
01:27Great.
01:29You 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.
01:48I 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.
01:59Oh, we'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.
02:13It'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 and
02:27fix later.
02:27So trust me, if we move slowly and carefully, then it will be much more efficient in the long run.
02:34Okay.
02:39Yeah, the shelters were full and I just needed a place to sleep, you know?
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 to
02:51sleep.
02:51You don't understand that.
02:53All right.
02:54Over here for your mug shop, please.
02:56Oh, okay.
02:59Face the camera.
03:00Stand still.
03:02To your right.
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 or...
03:15You know, you're probably going to sight out in just a couple of hours.
03:18Okie dokie.
03:20Is there any food?
03:22Just, I haven't eaten in a while.
03:24Uh, not normally, but I can go check the break room for you.
03:27All right.
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.
03:39That's, um...
03:40That's okay.
03:40You don't have to do that.
03:41Oh, 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 and insisted on
03:57cleaning.
03:58That's okay.
03:58You're not my mom.
03:59You're not my mom.
04:00I can...
04:01I can do that myself.
04:04What I'm trying to say is, you know, I've been where you are.
04:09After my injury, I couldn't see how anything mattered.
04:12I couldn't play football again, so why bother?
04:15Professionally.
04:15You can never do it again professionally.
04:18Right.
04:19It's not like I had a fallback career, man.
04:22I, like, I 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.
04:31You didn't go to the NFL.
04:32You lost your million-dollar contract.
04:35But you can still run.
04:37What happened to you is nothing like what happened to me.
04:45Oh.
04:58I think we started off on the wrong foot.
05:04I-I 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, that'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.
05:56Yeah, what's up?
05:57You arrested a guy this morning, Ezra Kay?
05:59Uh, well, that's the name he gave me.
06:01He didn't have any idea, though.
06:02There was a triple homicide in Oregon three years ago.
06:06A husband and wife were brutally murdered in their home.
06:09Their 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 Keynes.
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.
06:44So 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.
06:55Any 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.
07:22Mm-hmm.
07:24Right.
07:26Okay.
07:30Thanks.
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?
07:56Give 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.
08:09It's Goldilocks, this thing.
08:10Mm-hmm.
08:10Yeah.
08:31Hey, sorry to keep your weight.
08:34Sorry, I thought you said I was going to side 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
08:50them, people 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
09:04the TA'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
09:16me.
09:17No, I'm, I'm an open book.
09:20Okay, well, let's get started.
09:24Uh, I'm sorry, I tend to, uh, default towards disorganized, which is why I'm still in patrol
09:31and not a fancy detective.
09:34Don't get me wrong, I actually love working the streets, but, uh, every day is unique,
09:39and I meet some fascinating people.
09:41Like me.
09:43Yes.
09:44We'll see.
09:46Okay.
09:47Your name is Ezra Kane, but you declined to give me a date of birth, or social security
09:53number, or basically anything I could use to confirm your identity, and if you want the
09:58DA'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
10:24picked a birthday for me, 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?
10:40Mm-hmm.
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 was 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, first name, Ezra.
11:02Possible birth date of 1-6-82 or 83, but to be safe, search birth dates from 88 to 78.
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
11:18just warm up a 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.
11:27Um, establishing hardship can go a long way to swaying the DA, but if you are in a hurry,
11:34I can just recommend felony and you can wait in your cell.
11:37No, no need to be like that.
11:39I, I, yeah, um, I just, I'm not used to people taking an interest and I guess, uh, it's just
11:47not easy stuff to 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.
12:23That dollar amount suggests that he still has the room.
12:26Hot damn.
12:30It's everyone's worst nightmare.
12:32Waking up in the middle of the night to find a psychopath in your house?
12:36Yeah.
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.
12:57But, you know, just with my sister's case and everything.
13:00I mean, you've been all up in my trauma.
13:02And you know what?
13:05I'm sorry.
13:05I shouldn't have brought it up.
13:07All right.
13:07Listen.
13:08It's fine.
13:08It's natural to be curious.
13:09I just have no interest in revisiting that particular trauma.
13:12So.
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.
13:49We're not going to do that.
13:51Come out of the tub, please.
13:52I'm fine.
13:55He's going to 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,
14:17he's in custody.
14:17He 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, my 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 going to take a lot more than an apology tour to fix that.
15:06I suck.
15:09I get it.
15:12Thanks for coming over to clear that up.
15:14I 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 doctor 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-I-I wasn't thinking.
15:43Hey, look.
15:44It was instinct, all right?
15:45Try not to beat yourself up.
15:46She's in shock.
15:48It wasn't the moment to add more trauma.
15:49It'll be fine.
15:56You haven't eaten much.
15:58Problem with the sandwich?
15:59No, no.
15:59This is great.
16:00I'm just...
16:01You know what it is?
16:01I'm a little claustrophobic.
16:03Spent a lot of nights as a kid locked up in small spaces.
16:07Sorry to interrupt.
16:08Can I steal you for a sec?
16:09Of course.
16:10Excuse me.
16:12Lucy and Selena just found Samantha Poston inside Ezra's motel room.
16:18Is she...
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 them 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?
16:46He 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 and we found some recent charges.
17:12One of them being to a motel in Taitown.
17:16Well, hold on.
17:18When was the motel booked?
17:20Because that wasn't me.
17:22I mean, why 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.
17:48Calling my bluff?
17:49Look, I know I'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.
18:20It'll be her only one.
18:24Hey.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:26I wish I could let you rest, but I need to ask you some questions before the detectives conduct a
18:31more formal interview.
18:33Okay.
18:34Okay.
18:42I can't imagine how overwhelming the last hour has been, so I'm not gonna assume that you remember anything, all
18:48right?
18:48The man who took you, we have him in custody.
18:52Ezra Kane is the name that he's using.
18:54Is that how you name him?
18:54I'm not supposed to talk about him.
18:56Who said that?
18:57Him?
18:58Yeah, I get it.
19:00Samantha, you're safe now.
19:03You are.
19:09Did you talk to my parents?
19:11Are they coming?
19:14Samantha, I'm very sorry, but your parents are deceased.
19:20No.
19:22No.
19:22I'm so sorry.
19:23No.
19:23What happened to them?
19:25Did he kill them?
19:26No.
19:26No, they're alive.
19:28He said they have to be alive.
19:30He said that.
19:32Did he say he would hurt them if you didn't cooperate?
19:35Is that the threat he used to keep you with him?
19:44Yeah.
19:45Eamon.
19:47He made me call him Eamon, the seventh spirit, Marquis of Hell, who commands 40 legions, including the police.
20:04And he said that I was his soulmate.
20:09None of that is true, especially the police part.
20:13But it doesn't make any of that less terrifying.
20:18Do you remember the night that he took you?
20:25The screams woke me up.
20:27I thought it was the TV.
20:30So I went out into the hall just to ask my parents if they could turn it down.
20:38And there, there was this smell in the air, and it just made the hair on the back of my
20:48neck 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 knew in my body that he was evil.
21:14Does 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?
21:42When winter came, he has this thing about being cold.
21:47And by then...
21:49By then he knew I wasn't gonna run.
21:53Okay.
21:54Um...
21:55I think I have what I need for now.
21:58I'm gonna let you get some rest, okay?
22:02Uh, he...
22:03He bought a car.
22:05After we got to L.A.
22:07I don't...
22:07I don't know if that matters.
22:09Yeah, no.
22:09It sure does.
22:10Do you remember what kind of car it was?
22:12Um, it...
22:13It was old.
22:15Four doors.
22:17Black.
22:18So he would have taken that car when he left the motel then?
22:21Yeah.
22:22Did he tell you where he was going?
22:23No.
22:24He just said that he may be a while.
22:27Mm-hmm.
22:28And, uh...
22:30That he would punish me if I wasn't a good girl.
22:37Did he say something else, Samantha?
22:44He said he was getting ready for after.
22:47After?
22:48After what?
22:49I thought he meant...
22:53I thought he meant after me.
22:56You felt like he was getting ready to kill you?
23:01And part of me was really relieved.
23:05Because...
23:06Because at least it would finally be over.
23:12I thought he meant to be over.
23:21And that's it.
23:39I thought he meant to be over.
23:43Hey, Scott from the motel.
23:45Lucy called. She interviewed Samantha.
23:47Our guy's got a car.
23:48Make and model?
23:49Black four-door sedan. Old.
23:51That's not particularly helpful.
23:53Find any trophies in the room?
23:54Uh, not yet. I'm waiting for TID to land
23:56before I started digging through Ezra's stuff.
23:58But, you know, I did find some drawings
24:00that have me freaked out a little.
24:01Freaked you out? This I gotta see.
24:03Yeah, hold on.
24:11Yeah, that's not okay.
24:14Look what Tim found in Ezra's stuff.
24:17Oh, yeah. No, that's not okay.
24:19No, but according to Lucy, it tracks.
24:21Ezra believes he's a demon named Amon.
24:24One of the marquees of hell.
24:30Everything okay?
24:32Hell.
24:36I was wrong.
24:37This is taking too long,
24:40which means you did send somebody to the motel.
24:43Why would you waste your time with a transient
24:46who stole a bunch of credit cards?
24:49Well, this started long before we found out
24:51about the motel, Ezra.
24:55Fingerprints.
25:04Credit where credit's due.
25:07You've got that aw shucks every man cop thing down pat
25:11and I bought it for too long.
25:13That's on me.
25:13But I bet that there are cops way up higher
25:17on the food chain behind that mirror
25:19that are just dying to get in here.
25:21Little pigs.
25:25Little pigs.
25:27Get your asses in here.
25:30I've enjoyed my time with Officer Appetizer.
25:33I'm ready for the main course.
25:37There they are.
25:40You must be the prosecutor.
25:41Wesley Evers.
25:42I'm Detective Lopez.
25:43This is Detective Harper.
25:45Is it okay if we call you Ezra
25:46or do you prefer Amon?
25:50Someone's been talking out of school.
25:51I'm gonna readvise you of your rights,
25:54including the right to have an attorney present.
25:56Not necessary yet.
25:57I'll let you know.
25:58Can I have a moment?
25:59Yeah.
26:02What?
26:02No goodbye.
26:09I'm gonna go check out the rec center
26:10where I found him.
26:11Something isn't adding up.
26:12Agreed.
26:13But before you go,
26:14any insights that you might have
26:15from sitting two feet from him
26:17that might not have translated to us
26:19through the window?
26:20Yeah.
26:21When he was talking about the cold
26:22of his childhood,
26:23that was real.
26:24You want to get him unsettled?
26:26Crank the AC.
26:26Love it.
26:33The janitor locked up
26:34just after 10 last night.
26:35The place was empty after that.
26:37Well, this place is huge.
26:38There's no chance anybody saw
26:40or heard anything from the road.
26:43All right.
26:44This is about where I saw him.
26:47He heard me coming,
26:47and then he took off that way
26:49through those doors.
27:01Got it.
27:05Car key.
27:06Mr. ditched it when he heard me coming.
27:08What hit?
27:09When he was gonna ditch the keys
27:10so you didn't find the car.
27:12Well, why?
27:13I don't know.
27:13Like I said,
27:14there were no cars here
27:15when I got here this morning.
27:16I scrubbed body cam.
27:17I scrubbed dash cam.
27:19No black sedan.
27:20Whoa.
27:21I got blood.
27:21There were no visible cuts on Ezra
27:24when I processed him.
27:27Right there.
27:29Have you always known
27:30you were one of the devil's minions?
27:32Or was that a later in life revelation?
27:35Yes.
27:37Oh, your disbelief in my truth,
27:42it makes no difference
27:43as long as Samantha believes
27:45that's all that matters.
27:46Yeah, that won't last.
27:47You don't control her anymore.
27:49Hmm, how little you know.
27:51I'm gonna be with her
27:51until the day she dies,
27:53which was gonna be today.
27:56You know why?
27:58It's the real reason
27:59I was trespassing this morning.
28:04Nolan.
28:13I have found a new soulmate.
28:16He's got another girl.
28:20All right, Julie Reed
28:22was reported missing at 4 a.m.
28:24after she failed to come home
28:25from a friend's house.
28:26According to her parents,
28:27she was back and forth
28:28between the two homes all the time,
28:29and her route took her
28:30right past the rec center.
28:32Sounds like he'd been
28:32watching her for a while,
28:33planning the perfect time
28:34and place to make his move.
28:35If the suspect's car was gone
28:37when Officer Nolan arrived this morning,
28:39Ezra must have left and came back.
28:41Why would he do that?
28:41My best guess is that
28:43he left something at the scene,
28:44most likely his makeshift wallet.
28:46He only realized it after he'd left,
28:48but went back for it
28:49because he knew it would connect him
28:50to the abduction.
28:51But with a wounded girl in the trunk,
28:53he was faced with a problem.
28:54It would have been quicker
28:55to run back to the center
28:56and run inside.
28:57But that would have put him
28:58at a greater risk
28:59because if Julie was conscious
29:01and screaming her head off,
29:02it would draw a lot of attention.
29:03So he parked the car somewhere else,
29:05somewhere no one could hear her screaming,
29:06went back on foot.
29:07Right, but how far
29:09would he be comfortable walking?
29:1110 minutes, 20?
29:12The average walking pace
29:13of a healthy male
29:14is probably two and a half,
29:16three miles an hour.
29:17Any faster might draw
29:18him wanted attention.
29:19Okay, so to be safe,
29:20let's say three and a half
29:21miles per hour
29:22for a 20 minute walk.
29:23Which means we are looking
29:24at almost a square mile search radius.
29:27It's clear from the volume of blood
29:29at the scene
29:29that she was badly wounded.
29:30She was left on her own
29:31somewhere over eight hours ago.
29:34Every further minute that passes
29:35reduces the likelihood
29:37we will find her alive.
29:40Where is Julie Reed?
29:42Oh, is that her name?
29:43No, because we were,
29:44we were never properly introduced.
29:46Can you please turn the A.C. off?
29:49It's like a freezer in here.
29:50No problem.
29:51Just as soon as you tell us
29:52where she is.
29:53Hmm.
29:54You think I would trade my comfort
29:56for her?
29:57After all you've seen
29:58of my sacrifice.
29:59No, no, I guess not.
30:01But what would you trade for her?
30:02Now that's an interesting question.
30:06Let's see.
30:07I would say a reduced sentence
30:09but we all know
30:10that would be a hollow promise
30:12after all that I've done.
30:14Hmm.
30:15I would love to say a proper goodbye
30:18to fair Samantha.
30:19Not a chance in hell.
30:20That is a non-starter.
30:21There is no way
30:23we would ever let you
30:24re-traumatize that girl.
30:25I don't think you have a choice.
30:26I think you kind of have to ask her.
30:28No, we don't.
30:28Oh yeah, no.
30:29I think, I think Samantha
30:30would disagree.
30:31Think about it.
30:33How is Samantha gonna feel
30:35when Julie dies
30:36before you tell her
30:37and Samantha realizes
30:39she could have saved
30:39that poor girl?
30:41Huh.
30:42How about this?
30:43Let's give this a shot.
30:44Tell Samantha
30:45that Julie is near the red place.
30:48And if she just talks to me
30:50for one more minute,
30:51I, I will tell you where that is.
31:01Sorry to interrupt.
31:02I just need to borrow Sergeant Chen.
31:03Wait, did something happen?
31:05No, no, no.
31:05I just need it for a second.
31:07I'll be just outside, okay?
31:08I'm right here.
31:13Ezra took another girl
31:14before he was arrested.
31:15He says he'll tell us where she is
31:17if we let him talk to Samantha.
31:18No.
31:19Forget that.
31:20He doesn't want to help us.
31:22He just wants to keep traumatizing her.
31:23I agree.
31:24So do Lopez and Harper, but...
31:26He says that the girl's
31:27being held near the red place.
31:29And if we told that to Samantha,
31:30then she'd agree to help.
31:31We're not saying that to her, okay?
31:33It's a trick.
31:37Samantha, open the door.
31:39What happened?
31:40The red place?
31:40I mean, it's gotta be
31:41some sort of trigger phrase.
31:43He spent three years convincing her
31:44that the police were in league with him
31:46and she just heard us using his language.
31:59Let me feel this!
32:02We need medical attention!
32:04No!
32:05No!
32:06I can't do it!
32:07I need it.
32:09I need it!
32:11I need it!
32:14I need it!
32:18Seven out of 20.
32:19No sign of suspect vehicle at 1900 to Hawthorne.
32:22Seven out of four.
32:23The truck's sighted 801 Mercury is empty of vehicles.
32:26Seven Lincoln 15.
32:27First five levels of Wilshire Office Complex garage are clear.
32:31Moving to lower level.
32:32Seven.
32:40Two.
32:47Eight.
32:48Three.
32:51Two.
32:51Three.
32:52One.
32:56Four.
32:59Three.
32:59Three.
33:00Two.
33:00Three.
33:17Julie, you in there?
33:19I don't know.
33:227-link to 15.
33:23I have her.
33:24Lower level of the garage.
33:25Send an ambulance now.
33:31Hey.
33:32Hey, Julie.
33:33I'm Officer Nolan.
33:34I'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.
33:40I am so sorry.
33:42Easy.
33:45I'm sorry.
33:46I'm sorry.
33:46I know.
33:47I know.
33:47You're doing great.
33:48You're doing great.
33:53She's right here.
33:54She just passed out.
33:55She's lost a lot of blood.
33:56Pull it in.
33:58Pull it in.
33:58Pulse is weak.
33:59She's in hypovolemic shock.
34:01We gotta get her out of here.
34:10Nolan.
34:15Hey.
34:16Are you all right?
34:18Yeah.
34:19Um, Julie just got out of surgery.
34:21They lost her on the table for a minute.
34:22She pulled through and she's recovering in the ICU.
34:25Thank God.
34:26Can I talk to her when she's ready?
34:29Uh, I'll ask.
34:32You know, we wouldn't have found her without you.
34:34You gave us the car.
34:36I said it had wheels.
34:37And that it was black and old.
34:39I meant it.
34:40She 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 sit with you for a bit?
34:58Um.
34:59Okay.
35:13What was the, um, the red place?
35:18There was this house that we stayed at early on.
35:22They had painted the bathroom red.
35:26So when I was bad, he would take me in there to punish me.
35:36I know you're not ready to hear this.
35:38Um, but when it's time, the first step of your recovery will be to stop blaming yourself.
35:47Sure.
35:48On it.
35:49I know.
35:50I know.
35:51It's easier said than done.
35:52But I know what I'm talking about.
35:56You know.
35:57I want to share something with you.
35:59Uh, something that happened to me.
36:01If that's okay.
36:02Yeah.
36:03Um, so my rookie year as a cop, I met this guy.
36:07And he loved dogs.
36:09And he was cute.
36:10And he seemed great.
36:12Um, uh, we went on a date.
36:14And he, he kidnapped me.
36:19The details are a lot.
36:21But the short version is that I thought I was going to die.
36:25In another five minutes.
36:27And I probably would have.
36:29For months afterwards, I just obsessed about every second with him before he drugged me.
36:35How I should have seen through him.
36:37How I should have been faster, smarter.
36:42I wanted to believe that I was in control.
36:46But I wasn't.
36:48So eventually, I stopped focusing on the things that I didn't do.
36:52And I focused on the thing that I did.
36:55I survived.
36:57You survived.
36:59Samantha, you're here.
37:05I know that you don't see how brave and powerful you are.
37:10Okay?
37:11But I do.
37:12I really, really do.
37:16Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
37:19Um, I spoke to your aunt, Sarah.
37:21She is rushing back from her vacation in London.
37:24But 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.
37:47Seth's here.
37:48I'll be in my room.
37:51It's good to see you, too.
37:56Just 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.
38:10But clearly, I don't know how to.
38:12And you are the best guy I know.
38:15So, 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.
38:34All right.
38:36No lies.
38:37No woe is me.
38:37Just head down.
38:38Do the work.
38:39Be grateful.
38:40Deal?
38:41Deal.
38:47Come here, brother.
38:53Surprise!
38:55Hey.
38:56Thanks.
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.
39:20Yes.
39:21You forgot.
39:22And I remembered.
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 remembered before you did, and that's what's important.
39:43Winning.
39:43Yeah.
39:44And you know what else is super important?
39:47No.
39:48What?
39:48The kids are with my mom.
39:50Oh.
39:51Mmm.
39:58Hi.
39:59Hi, Andy.
40:00How's it going?
40:00Oh, 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.
40:18Hmm.
40:19You're a hero.
40:20Hmm.
40:22Oh, God.
40:23Okay.
40:23So, I need to say something, and I...
40:26I need you to respond with kindness, okay?
40:29Okay.
40:29Um, after the day that I've had, I really need this place to feel like a refuge and not
40:36a UPS 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 could I refuse that offer?
41:04You can't.
41:05All right.
41:06I'll get dinner.
41:12Yep.
41:27Good work today, Officer Nola.
41:29Thanks.
41:31How come I don't feel better about it?
41:33I think you know the answer.
41:36Yeah.
41:39Listen.
41:40We 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.
42:27I am.
42:40I am.
42:41I am.
42:42I am.
42:44I am.
42:45I am.
42:47I am.
42:47I am.
42:48I am.
42:48I am.
42:48You
