First unit, I need you to get in there
and get me a primary all clear of that house.
Second unit, I need a secondary backup line, right here.
Let's go. I need a bundle down here, as well.
Let's go people. Move! Move!
Watch your backs!
Conducting bravo-side search and rescue!
Let's go!
All clear! Moving on.
Hey, you see that?
Yeah, what is it?
I think there's someone in there.
Easy. Floor's giving in to the heat.
- The structure's been compromised. - We can't stop now!
Fire department! We're gonna help!
Aah!
This whole place is coming down.
We've gotta go now!
Let's go! Let's go!
Oh, my God. Get out of the way!
- Let me through! - You need to stay back.
- This is for your own safety. - That's my house!
I got to get up there.
- Ma'am, you're the homeowner? - Yes.
Yes, you need to get in there, please.
I'm sorry, the structure's totally involved.
All we can do is try to contain it.
No. My uncle, he shouldn't be here,
but that's his truck, and I think he might be inside.
Please you need to help him. Please!
Somebody needs to get in there! Please!
I promise you the answer will not be found
at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey.
I just don't want to disappoint anybody.
Well, the most important thing
is that you don't disappoint yourself.
Now, Winston, I just did a search in your area.
Are you familiar
with Copper Peak Community Center in Helena?
Yeah, it's not far from me.
Oh, good. Good.
Um, well, they have an AA meeting tonight.
Maybe you should check it out.
Sounds like you could use a little extra support.
You're probably right. Thank you.
I'm happy to help.
We get calls from Montana?
Veterans Help Line gets calls from all over the U.S.
I didn't realize that.
- Yeah. - Makes sense.
Kumu, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you
volunteering with us today.
Seriously, you are a lifesaver.
I would've started years ago,
but I thought you had to be a vet to work here.
Nope, we could use all the help we can get.
So you've been shadowing a few days now.
You think you're ready to take a few calls on your own?
Me? I was born ready.
Good. 'Cause I already signed you in.
Tammy?
Hey, you know the drill.
No first names,
and we do not divulge personal information.
It's for our own protection.
I know, but do you really think
I look like a Tammy?
No, but, uh, most operators choose a name
with the same first letter as their own.
It helps them not forget.
Right.
Now, once you click that, your line will be open
and available for calls.
I know your first time, it can be a little intimidating,
but everything you need to know
is right here in this manual.
And, you know, remember, this job is about referrals.
Giving these people every available resource
that is near them and a little peace of mind.
And now I'm repeating myself, and you're getting annoyed.
- I get it. - Uh-huh.
You're up.
Veterans Help Line, this is Tammy.
Almost ready.
I've been thinkin'...
Island Hoppers has been doing really well,
so it might be time to expand.
Maybe even get another chopper.
The only thing is...
I might have to get my money out of La Mariana.
But high-class problems, right?
Sorry.
What about Rick?
What's going on?
You okay?
Fire chief called.
That house fire I went to a few nights ago...
That woman whose uncle died?
Yeah. Her name is Halia.
Chief said that they found traces of accelerant
and multiple burn origins throughout the home.
So it was definitely arson.
Yeah. But it gets worse.
Halia's HPD's main suspect.
And you don't think she did it.
If you would've seen her that night...
She was devastated. It wasn't an act.
And because her uncle died,
she's not only facing arson charges but manslaughter, too.
Halia's lost everything.
And now she might go to jail for something she didn't do.
I wish I could help her,
but I don't know how.
I think I know someone who will.
Hey, TC. What's up?
Yo, TM, I need a favor.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
My folks were kind of a mess,
so Uncle Moku stepped in to raise me.
He was a contractor.
Had me operating a skid-steer loader
before I could even drive a car.
We're very sorry for your loss, Halia.
Yeah, it sounds like you two were very close.
I mean, he's the reason I went into the business.
And I started working with him as soon as I got my license.
That house was the latest project
we had before it burned down.
I thought it was your residence?
Uh, sometimes we live in the houses we work on.
- You know, to cut down on costs. - Mm.
And that project had more than its share.
The storm tore through the kitchen,
flooded the site. It put us in the red.
That's why HPD suspects that you did it.
For the insurance pay-out.
Yes.
Look, if I'm charged with arson and manslaughter,
I'm looking at 25 years.
Except I didn't do it.
Someone else set that fire and killed my uncle,
and they need to pay.
Halia, we believe you.
We'll do everything we can to find the person responsible.
Listen, we have to ask, is there anyone you know of
who might have had a grudge against you or your uncle?
The thing about arsonists is they tend
to be motivated by revenge
and oftentimes know the victims.
My... My ex... Brian.
As a contractor, I spend a lot of time around guys.
And that didn't exactly sit well with him.
And what happened?
He got jealous, became controlling.
And when he suggested I find a new career,
I suggested he find himself a new girlfriend.
When was this?
A few months ago.
He was pretty angry.
Yeah, my number's right here. Call me.
Appreciate it. Thanks.
Thank you.
Well, look at this lovely couple.
Let me guess, uh, you're in the market
for a house to support a growing family?
Actually, we're more interested in how things are going
between you and Halia Kalani.
Excuse me?
I know people, you know, pick up hobbies
after a tough breakup, but...
arson's a bit extreme.
Who the hell are you guys?
We're private investigators.
Halia hired us to find out who started a fire
that killed her uncle and destroyed her home
three nights ago.
Wait, Moku's dead?
Oh, God.
I didn't even know there was a fire.
I haven't talked to Halia in months.
Really? She said that you've been texting and calling nonstop.
Look, it was a rough breakup,
but I didn't torch that remodel.
I didn't say it was a remodel. And you know what?
Your phone has pinged near her house
four times in the last month.
Possessive ex who couldn't accept that things were over?
Sounds like motive for arson to me.
Would you keep it down, please?
Look, I might have, um, kept tabs on Halia
after she ended things.
You're basically saying you were stalking her.
No. I just... parked my car
outside of her house every now and then.
You do hear yourself, right? 'Cause I heard...
I heard that she started dating somebody else,
and, um, I had to see for myself.
That is not a justification,
and it does not make you sound less guilty.
Look, the last time I was at Halia's
was five nights ago.
And when I was there, I saw a car pull up,
stay there for about an hour and then left.
Okay, so somebody else was there?
You get a make, model, maybe a license-plate number?
No. I... I didn't think to take note.
Well, is there anything else you can tell us
about the car or the driver?
Uh, he's a smoker.
I saw him flicking cigarette butts out of the window.
Uh, you're gonna need a good lawyer
because that's not gonna be enough to get you off.
Well, it doesn't have to be.
You said the fire was three nights ago, right?
I was at a corporate retreat in Maui.
30 people can vouch for me.
Look, I know what I saw.
Somebody else was scoping out Halia's house.
Right where Thomas said they'd be.
Looks like Halia's creepy ex was onto something.
Hopefully, there's still DNA on them, so they can run it.
Hey...
You okay?
Doing what I do, I see a lot of awful things.
But this one's really gotten to me.
Of course. You're a firefighter,
but you're a human being, too.
It's normal for it to weigh on you.
No, you don't get it.
I could've saved him.
Moku was right in front of me when the ceiling caved in.
I've been playing that night
over and over again in my head,
wondering what I could've done differently.
And if I'd only been a little faster,
Halia might not have lost her only family.
Come on, you can't think like that.
I mean, you've put out hundreds of fires,
saved countless lives.
You're damn good at your job.
- But... - Look, if you were in there any longer,
I would've lost you, too.
Look, the only person you should blame for Moku's death
is the one that started the fire.
Come on.
I understand you need another parking pass,
Mr. Applebee.
I've been to the damn Motor Vehicles twice,
and they still said no.
Well, unfortunately, uh, it doesn't matter
what state you're in, the DMV is...
well, the DMV.
You're saying the Fleet Week jets
are disturbing your yoga classes?
Yeah, only half of my clients showed today!
Couldn't you just move them inside?
Uh, it's called Stretch du Soleil for a reason.
I told the insurance adjuster
that I already submitted that form.
Okay, well, I see here that you submitted form 4C.
It's actually 4Z, "Z", "Z" as in zulu, "Z."
I'm sorry they ended that military discount
on appliances over a year ago.
- Look, that ain't right. - It isn't.
But I think Target is having a sale.
Maybe try them?
Mr. Applebee, this is Dave again.
Wait, how did I get the same person?
Well, once we've spoken,
you're automatically directed back to me.
What did the DMV do now?
This is the Veterans Help Line.
I think what you want is a veterinarian?
But if you roll the pill up in a slice of cheese
slathered in peanut butter, that should do the trick.
I've taken 11 calls and 8 of them required
navigating some serious red tape.
It's hard to avoid when the government's involved.
Oh!
- Lunch is here. - Oh!
Be right back.
Veterans Help Line, this is Tammy.
Hello?
Who am I speaking with?
DJ, you can call me DJ.
DJ.
Does that, uh, stand for something?
It's what they called me in boot camp.
What's the best number to call you back?
Uh, I'm only asking
because you called from a blocked number,
and, uh, it means if we get disconnected,
I won't be able to reach you.
I know.
Uh, just so you know, um,
this line is for veterans not for veterinary issues.
Was someone really that stupid?
I just had a caller
whose dog wouldn't take a pill.
Let's just say, he was confused.
Who, the caller or the dog?
So how can I help you?
I haven't slept in two days.
I get night sweats...
flashbacks...
Sounds rough.
Have you seen a doctor?
Mm-hmm. Doctors. Counselors.
None of them can fix what I got.
Uh, are you alone, DJ?
Are there any weapons nearby?
Is that what the manual says you're supposed to ask me?
DJ...
on a scale of 1 to 10,
how likely are you to hurt yourself?
The thing is...
I already have.
Took the pills right before I called you.
How do you feel right now?
Fine.
It hasn't kicked in yet.
I hope you're ready for some Piggy Smalls.
I figured whoever picked up
would try to talk me out of it.
So I thought I'd save us a little time.
Ask him what he took.
Uh, what kind of pills did you take?
Klonopin...
Valium... a few others.
If you'd just tell me where you are,
I can get you help.
I don't want help.
Then...
why'd you call in the first place?
Don't want to die alone.
And it's easier to talk to strangers.
No history.
No judgment.
This way, I can go out on my own terms.
You're doing great. Just keep him talking.
I'm checking registries.
So, DJ, what'd you do in the service?
12 years as a ground transpo officer.
Then I got injured.
Seven surgeries later, they still couldn't fix me.
Discharged six years ago.
That's when it all started.
Six years is a long time to be feeling this way.
You have no idea.
Never felt so useless...
so insignificant.
Where were you stationed?
Oh, oh, uh, uh, I... I've never served.
I'm just a volunteer here.
Bet you didn't think you were signing up for this.
Look, DJ, I realize it's hard to have perspective right now.
I already told you, I'm not looking for counseling.
What I'm hearing is that you're overwhelmed by,
uh, depressing thoughts.
Stop. Stop!
You're not hearing a damn thing that I'm saying.
I don't need a script.
I need you to talk to me like a human being.
DJ, my supervisor did serve.
Would it be okay if he hopped on?
- Forget it. - Keep at it.
You can do this.
He hung up.
Oh, my God. What'd I do?
Okay, deep breaths. Deep breaths.
We can still help him if we can figure out where he is.
He called from a blocked number.
Yeah, even so, we can usually find a provider
and trace the call.
Damn, it's not here.
He must have called from a prepaid disposable.
We have to do something.
Given what he took, he's only got a few hours left at most.
I already started checking Army registries
with the info you wrote down.
We'll find him, Kumu.
Just heard back from the lab.
And the DNA from the cigarette butts
- got us a familial hit. - Great.
Our smoker is a male relative of a guy named Dominic Carson.
Okay, who's that?
He's an inmate at Wahiawa State Prison.
4 years into a 20-year sentence for felony murder.
Okay, let me look him up... Dominic Carson.
Only male relative that I can find
who's on the island is his father, Henry.
Well, he's gotta be our smoker.
But why would Henry do this to Halia and Moku?
Doesn't seem to be any connection between them.
I don't know. I'll text Halia, see if she knows him.
But in the meantime, see if it's possible Henry
- could've even started the fire. - Right.
I'll check in on his phone, see if it puts him
anywhere near Halia's house on the night of the fire.
- Huh. - What is it?
Henry's phone has been off since the day of the fire.
Well, it's suspicious, but it doesn't prove anything.
What about the days before?
Okay.
Well, it seems Brian was telling the truth.
Five days ago, Henry was on Halia's street.
Halia says she doesn't know Henry.
But look at this.
At 10:00 p.m. on the night before the fire,
Henry's phone puts him near a hardware store
in Pearl City.
Maybe he was buying accelerant?
I could check with the staff,
see if anyone can recognize your guy,
but that was all the footage we had.
Nah, that's alright. We appreciate it, though.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Okay, none of the other businesses
around here are open late.
So if he wasn't in the hardware store,
what was he doing here at 10:00 p.m.?
Maybe he was there?
You think he broke into a funeral home?
Embalming fluid is flammable.
Buying accelerant would leave a paper trail.
Whereas, stealing it is far less traceable.
Be right with you!
Memory-foam lining?
It's probably more comfortable than my bed.
Yeah, probably.
You ever think about how you'd want to be laid to rest?
Yeah, I think I want to be cremated.
- Really? - It's just more cost-efficient.
And, you know, graveyards are very overcrowded.
What about you?
I don't know. I guess I assumed I'd be buried.
Did you know that you could turn human ashes into diamonds?
Are you suggesting that if I die first,
you're going to turn me into a diamond?
Well, I'm gonna need something to propose
to my new girlfriend with. I don't want to die alone.
Thanks for your patience.
Name's Randall, Director of Services.
- Hi. - How can I help?
How are you doing, Randall? Uh, we're private investigators.
And we were hoping you could tell us a little bit
about your recent break-in.
I'm sorry, can't say I know what you're talking about.
The window... It's boarded up outside.
Do you mind telling us what happened?
Oh, just some neighborhood kids trying to vandalize the place.
Hmm. They vandalize the prep room, too?
I see that shiny new lock on the door.
Not that new.
We just like to take good care around here.
Listen, Randall, you can either tell us what happened
or we can involve the police...
and you can tell them.
Okay, uh, look, I would've lost business,
and I didn't think it would matter.
He was gonna be cremated anyway.
What are you talking about?
A body...
Whoever broke in, they stole a body.
- Do you have any idea why? - No clue.
And whose body did they steal?
The deceased's name was Tane Leiato.
Please don't tell his family.
Was Tane about 5'10", 60 years old?
How do you know that?
You think that Henry stole Tane's body
to fake Moku's death.
Yeah, and if the body they found in the fire
wasn't Halia's uncle, then...
where the hell is he?
Hey, the ME confirmed the body
pulled from the fire wasn't Moku.
Alright, okay.
So Henry stole a corpse that looked like Moku
to make it appear that he was dead.
To what end?
Maybe they wanted to abduct him
without anyone going and looking for him.
Ah, that's pretty outrageous, but since we can't find
a connection between Henry and Moku,
it doesn't seem like they're working together.
Right, so, Henry wanted Moku for something.
- The question is, "What"? - No idea.
But odds are Moku's in danger,
if he's not dead already.
I'll put an APB out on Carson now.
Alright. I'm-a circle back with Halia.
See if we can find some kind of connection
between Henry and Moku.
I'm not seeing anything in the call logs so far.
DJ's been feeling this way for six years,
and he knew the handbook.
So he probably called here before.
Maybe, but it'll take days to sift through all these logs.
I think I've got an idea.
I already told you, I'm not looking for counseling.
You hear that in the background?
It's a train.
The way it echoes, it must be elevated.
Wherever he was calling from, there was one nearby.
There must be over a dozen elevated trains
across the country.
According to Google, there's 11.
Still a lot to narrow down.
Yeah, but it's a start.
Now, is there anything else he said
that might help I.D. him?
I'll hop on, too.
Veterans Help Line, this is Tammy.
Sweet potatoes.
DJ?
If a dog won't take a pill,
hide the meds in some mashed sweet potatoes.
I'm so glad you called back.
About before, I'm...
Please don't waste what little time
I've got left trying to fix this.
I only want someone to be with me until it's over.
I like you.
But I want the real Tammy.
The hotline assigns us aliases for our protection.
The real Tammy is actually...
Teuila.
That's my name.
What kind of name is that?
It's Samoan. But I was born in Hawaii.
I'm on Oahu.
I'll stick with Tammy. It's easier to say.
My friends call me Kumu. How 'bout that?
Nice to meet you, Kumu.
Or should I say, "Aloha"?
Means "hello" and "goodbye," right?
It does.
I always liked that.
Hey, Gordie, what's up?
Two unis spotted Henry Carson returning to his apartment.
Did they get him?
No, he made them.
Ducked out a fire exit and got away.
I'm guessing they didn't find Moku at the apartment.
Nah, Henry must be holding him somewhere else.
But now he knows we're onto him.
He's gotta feel threatened.
Which means if Moku isn't already dead,
Henry's not gonna keep him alive much longer.
Next thing I know, Stevenson and Porter
are dismounting the MWRAPs to rush over and cover me.
Your family must have been so worried
while you were over there.
They were.
Now, not so much.
Wife walked out on me a couple of years ago.
Got custody of the boy.
That must've been hard.
But I have to say, you got some pretty amazing stories
from your time in the service.
Wouldn't you want to share them with your son one day?
Since I got back,
kid's too scared to even look at me.
I think he's a burn victim.
Or he could've been badly scarred by an IED explosion.
How about you? You got any family?
I was married.
I loved him till the day he died, but...
he had an affair that resulted in a child.
Wow. That's rough.
You ever have any kids of your own?
I wanted to, but it wasn't in the cards.
Don't you feel cheated?
Like you were...
robbed of the life you thought you were gonna live?
That's how I feel, anyway.
We don't really get over our trauma.
We just have to make space for it.
Try to thrive in spite of it.
Thriving... now there's a word.
He's four hours ahead, Central time.
It's gotta be Chicago.
It's the only city in the midwest with an elevated train.
You keep him talking. I'm gonna call the VA there.
This has to be enough to get a name.
You don't know me, but I got so bitter.
I took it out on anyone who ever loved me.
Hi, this is Rick Wright
calling from the Veterans Help Line.
I've got a situation here.
Wait, you're saying he's alive?
All we know for sure
is that Moku did not die in that fire.
So where is he?
I'm sorry. We... We don't know yet.
Why would somebody do this?
It's looking like some kind of elaborate plan
to hide Moku's abduction.
I-I-I know I asked you before,
but are you sure you haven't seen this guy?
His name's Henry Carson.
- Mnh-mnh. - How 'bout...
This is his son Dominic.
Look, I don't... I don't recognize them. Should I?
Well, Henry was staking out your house before the fire.
And his son Dominic was the getaway driver
of a 3-man crew who ended up
killing a homeowner during a robbery.
The other two got away, but Dominic wasn't so lucky.
He got convicted of murder
and is doing time at Wahiawa Prison.
Well, wait...
About nine years ago, Uncle Moku oversaw the installation
of the special housing unit at Wahiawa.
Wait, he worked on the prison where Dominic's being held?
If Moku designed the SHU,
he would know its vulnerabilities.
So maybe Henry's using Moku to help his son escape prison.
_
Yo! What the hell, Carson?
I'm gettin' on this.
Dominic is definitely in isolation.
It's been over three hours.
Shouldn't we be there by now?
You sure we're going the right way?
Yes. Just keep moving
until you find a crawl space up above.
You gotta be kidding me.
This crawl space is like 3 feet tall.
Is this even gonna work?
Breaking into the boiler room through these tunnels
is your best shot at reaching the ventilation system.
This better work...
or today will end badly for you.
Who are you kidding?
We both know you're gonna kill me
as soon as you have your son.
Well, the difference is, is you can die fast
or it could be slow and painful.
Seems that Henry made several failed attempts
to appeal Dominic's sentence.
When that didn't work, he went to plan "B."
I think we should head to the prison.
If Henry is nearby, he might have Moku with him.
I don't know. I mean, Henry went through so much trouble
to get everybody to believe Moku was dead, right?
So if I was him, I'd keep Moku alive,
have him help me remotely until Dominic was out.
Okay, so, then it's gonna take us a while to find him.
I'm gonna call Gordon, tell him to contact the warden.
Hold on. Let's think about it.
We need Henry to believe his plan's gonna work, right?
If HPD stops the escape, then Moku's a dead man.
Thomas, we have knowledge that a dangerous convict
is about to break out of prison,
and you want to withhold that information from HPD?
That could make us accomplices in a prison break.
I know it's risky, but...
Well, what if Dominic escapes,
and we still haven't located Moku?
There's no good move here.
But Moku's safety is our top priority.
As long as Henry needs him, he's gonna keep him alive.
How do we figure out where they're keeping him?
If they're gonna pull this off,
they need the blueprints of the prison, right?
Right. And maybe Halia knows
where Moku keeps the plans to his old jobs.
If they went there, there could be security footage
that tells us which car they're using.
My kid, he liked the bears and the lions,
but he went crazy for the colobus monkey.
He wanted to bring it home.
- Uh-oh. - Yeah.
How'd you handle that?
Okay, thank you so much.
I tried to buy one of those stuffed ones from the gift shop...
Okay, the VA has narrowed it down to two guys...
Danny Joseph Sherman and Dillon Jacobs.
EMS is en route to both.
Should be there in minutes.
I don't think he has minutes.
The zoo wouldn't let us, so he...
he made me stay there for three hours
till the zoo closed.
It was really cold, too.
But my boy... my boy was so happy.
And that's everything.
- Hey, Kumu? - Yes.
I'm scared.
I'm scared, too.
My boy...
do you think he can forgive me?
I... I don't know.
He might forgive you.
What I do know
is he will never recover from it.
How do you know?
Because it's the life I've lived for the last 60 years...
and it's torture.
I don't understand.
My father thought we'd be better off without him, too.
I was the one who found him,
my mother and me.
I was only 10 years old.
He was in a bad way for a while,
but if I could talk to him just one more time,
I'd tell him...
that I would've shared his misery a thousand times over
if it meant I could spend one more day with him.
DJ...
you could've called anyone today.
I think you called us
because a part of you doesn't want this.
I think I made a mistake.
Listen to me, it's okay.
Help is almost there.
DJ?!
DJ, are you there?!
Can you hear me?!
Hello?!
- Hello? DJ? - Dillon? Dillon?
Hello? Can you hear me?
He's still breathing! Stretcher.
- Hello? - Yes?
This is the Veterans Help Center in Honolulu.
- Is he okay? - He's got a pulse.
We're gonna rush him to Northwestern Memorial right now.
He said he took Klonopin and Valium.
Yeah. Thank you. We got the empty pill bottles.
You did really good. We'll take it from here.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
You were right.
They forced Moku to retrieve the plans.
Ah, let me look up their car.
Their car is a rental.
And it looks like it's assigned to a Mark Crocetti.
Alright, if it is a rental,
- it's got vehicle recovery, right? - Yeah.
- Can you track it? - Uh-huh.
It's at an abandoned warehouse in Moanalua.
Gordon, it's Juliet.
You need to call the warden at Wahiawa.
There's about to be a prison break.
You're too late.
It already happened.
Same car that was at the storage facility.
Let's just hope we're not too late.
Drop the gun, Henry. We don't want to hurt you.
Who the hell are you?
We're just here for Moku.
His niece hired us to bring him home.
Drop your guns or he's dead.
Dominic made it out undetected.
Moku's done everything you've asked.
There's no need to hurt him.
Do you want his blood on your hands?
- Mark, let him go. - Shut up!
Easy, alright. Nobody has to get hurt here.
I'm not asking again. Put your guns down.
Now!
Killing Moku's only gonna make things worse for you.
- HPD is on the way. - I didn't go away last time.
And I ain't doin' time now.
We'll be long gone before the...
I didn't want anyone to get hurt.
All I wanted was to help my boy.
Hell of a day.
You could say that.
Grab a drink at La Mariana?
Ooh, sounds nice.
There's just one stop I'd like to make first.
No problem.
Rick...
...thank you.
For what?
For not bringing it up.
Somebody wants to see you.
Halia?
Uncle Moku.
Halia is no longer under suspicion.
Henry's gonna go away for abduction and arson,
and well, not to mention killing his associate.
Turns out Henry was the one responsible
for the home-invasion robbery
that resulted in Dominic getting arrested.
Really? Father and son were partners?
Yeah, along with Mark Crocetti.
He's the one that Henry shot today.
He's actually the guy who killed the homeowner.
Dominic refused any of the plea deals he was offered.
He didn't want to give up his accomplices.
His father felt responsible, so he decided to bust him out?
Mm-hmm.
Did they catch Dominic and the guys that helped him escape?
They're still in the wind,
but HPD's working on tracking them down.
So his son's freedom cost him his own.
And now they'll never be reunited.
That's kind of tragic when you think about it.
Yeah.
I guess he thought he was doing the right thing.
Well, I really appreciate you guys looking into this.
Of course.
Hey, and this is all because of your hunch.
So if this firefighter thing doesn't work out,
you might want to think about
becoming a private investigator.
I think I'll stick to putting out fires
and leave the detective work to you guys.
I told you you're great at your job.
Hi, Dad.
I know it's been a while.
I'm still angry for what you did.
I'm angry that I had no idea how much pain you were in.
But today, I saw a glimpse of that pain,
and I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you were hurting so much
and felt you had no one to talk to.
I'm not sure we ever stop hurting.
But that must mean we never stop healing either, right?
I hope you found peace.
I'll try not to let too much time go by
before my next visit.
I love you, Daddy.
