1
00:00:02,647 --> 00:00:06,221
If there is one hard
thing you learn in this job,

2
00:00:06,245 --> 00:00:08,595
it's that, one way or the other,

3
00:00:08,619 --> 00:00:11,465
this day or the next,

4
00:00:11,489 --> 00:00:13,205
eventually...

5
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:17,426
everything dies.

6
00:00:19,764 --> 00:00:21,742
For most people, the only thing worse

7
00:00:21,766 --> 00:00:23,744
than losing someone you love

8
00:00:24,883 --> 00:00:27,514
is knowing that, one day,

9
00:00:27,538 --> 00:00:29,383
you will.

10
00:00:29,407 --> 00:00:32,653
Mom, Dad,

11
00:00:33,183 --> 00:00:37,062
I want you to know I-I've
decided to sell the house.

12
00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,441
I know how much it meant to you guys.

13
00:00:41,419 --> 00:00:43,619
It did to me, too.

14
00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:47,656
Please don't be mad.

15
00:01:18,422 --> 00:01:19,566
So, we have one guy still missing?

16
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:21,401
Yes, it's horrible.

17
00:01:21,425 --> 00:01:22,736
Elisio and Stavros were preparing

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,671
Mrs. Mandechek's final resting place,

19
00:01:24,695 --> 00:01:27,474
- and they just got sucked in.
- Okay.

20
00:01:27,498 --> 00:01:29,990
Sir, can you tell me
what happened down there?

21
00:01:31,435 --> 00:01:32,746
Me and Stavros were...

22
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:34,548
digging a plot...

23
00:01:34,572 --> 00:01:36,516
when we got pulled in.

24
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:38,552
Like the grave was digging itself.

25
00:01:38,576 --> 00:01:41,722
A sinkhole. The quake shifted
everything around down there.

26
00:01:41,746 --> 00:01:43,724
We're all basically walking
around on eggshells

27
00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:46,493
and bubble wrap. See it?

28
00:01:46,517 --> 00:01:48,562
- How long ago did this happen?
- I don't know.

29
00:01:48,586 --> 00:01:49,663
Half an hour, maybe?

30
00:01:49,687 --> 00:01:51,386
Let's move, guys.

31
00:01:55,793 --> 00:01:57,571
Whoa...

32
00:01:57,595 --> 00:01:59,506
Easy. This whole side is like quicksand.

33
00:01:59,530 --> 00:02:01,608
I don't want you to fall
in there and drag ten tons

34
00:02:01,632 --> 00:02:03,610
of loose soil on top of yourself
and our friend down there.

35
00:02:03,634 --> 00:02:05,579
He's been breathing dirt
for a half hour, Cap.

36
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:06,809
Well, maybe not.

37
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:08,582
What are you thinking?

38
00:02:08,904 --> 00:02:10,517
Eggshells and bubble wrap.

39
00:02:10,989 --> 00:02:12,385
Air pockets.

40
00:02:12,409 --> 00:02:14,868
Yeah, we just have to find out
where they are.

41
00:02:17,448 --> 00:02:18,592
Whoa, th-those aren't...

42
00:02:18,616 --> 00:02:20,360
Coffins and corpses.

43
00:02:20,384 --> 00:02:21,561
That's where the air pockets are.

44
00:02:21,585 --> 00:02:22,696
That's messed up.

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,564
Oh. Hello, Stavros.

46
00:02:24,588 --> 00:02:26,044
All right, shovels and buckets.

47
00:02:26,068 --> 00:02:27,701
Let's go.

48
00:02:27,725 --> 00:02:29,691
Here you go.

49
00:02:31,729 --> 00:02:33,395
Got one.

50
00:02:37,735 --> 00:02:40,118
- Whoa!
- Whoa. You okay?

51
00:02:40,143 --> 00:02:41,242
Yeah.

52
00:02:41,266 --> 00:02:42,749
Okay, that can't be good.

53
00:02:42,773 --> 00:02:44,684
Keys for this thing?

54
00:02:44,708 --> 00:02:46,453
Sh-Should still be in it.

55
00:02:46,477 --> 00:02:48,688
We're gonna get this man out of here

56
00:02:48,712 --> 00:02:51,391
- one damn way or another. Clear out!
- Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

57
00:02:51,415 --> 00:02:52,759
- All right, fellas.
- Get out. Get out, guys.

58
00:03:11,468 --> 00:03:13,319
Oh! I got-I got him.

59
00:03:13,343 --> 00:03:15,112
Okay, easy. Easy. You're okay.

60
00:03:15,136 --> 00:03:16,449
Take it slow. Take...

61
00:03:16,473 --> 00:03:18,518
All right, we got you.

62
00:03:18,542 --> 00:03:21,421
- All along... Hang on.
- We got you,

63
00:03:21,445 --> 00:03:23,557
- Stavros, we got you.
- Nice and slow. Try to relax.

64
00:03:23,581 --> 00:03:25,559
Breathe, breathe. Relax. Relax.

65
00:03:25,583 --> 00:03:26,726
We got you. Relax. We got you.

66
00:03:30,454 --> 00:03:33,366
We got you. Try to relax.

67
00:03:33,391 --> 00:03:35,837
Now, that was strictly badass.

68
00:03:35,861 --> 00:03:37,973
You literally pulled a man from a grave.

69
00:03:37,997 --> 00:03:40,976
We did. I just hope they understand.

70
00:03:41,496 --> 00:03:42,911
Hope who understands?

71
00:03:42,935 --> 00:03:44,813
The spirits we disturbed.

72
00:03:44,837 --> 00:03:46,970
I don't need that mess following me home.

74
00:04:01,854 --> 00:04:04,900
Hey. What's going on?

75
00:04:04,924 --> 00:04:06,835
That phone call was pretty cryptic.

76
00:04:06,859 --> 00:04:07,936
It's about your father.

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,871
My father?

78
00:04:09,895 --> 00:04:11,706
What are you talking about, Karen?

79
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:13,708
I haven't spoken to my father since...

80
00:04:13,732 --> 00:04:14,910
I was, like, nine.

81
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:16,180
He's in the ICU.

82
00:04:16,204 --> 00:04:18,153
- This hospital? He's here?
- Yeah.

83
00:04:18,177 --> 00:04:20,982
He was brought in yesterday, unconscious.

84
00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:24,007
They've been trying to get
in touch with us ever since.

85
00:04:26,208 --> 00:04:28,690
How did they know to look for me?

86
00:04:28,714 --> 00:04:30,981
He had your name
and our address in his wallet.

87
00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:38,700
Your father suffered
an intracerebral hemorrhage.

88
00:04:38,724 --> 00:04:40,835
It caused bleeding within the brain.

89
00:04:40,859 --> 00:04:42,938
So what's the prognosis here?

90
00:04:42,962 --> 00:04:46,269
Well, we're seeing
severe, widespread damage.

91
00:04:53,906 --> 00:04:56,740
These machines are the
only thing keeping him alive.

92
00:04:59,979 --> 00:05:02,757
And you want to know whether
or not to withdraw life support.

93
00:05:02,781 --> 00:05:04,659
I'm so sorry.

94
00:05:04,683 --> 00:05:07,796
Without an advance directive,
our protocol is to treat,

95
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:11,628
to keep him alive until
we can contact the next of kin.

96
00:05:14,793 --> 00:05:16,994
And that's me.

97
00:05:19,031 --> 00:05:20,875
911. What is your emergency?

98
00:05:20,899 --> 00:05:22,677
Uh, I was hiking,

99
00:05:22,701 --> 00:05:24,012
fell off... The cliff gave out.

100
00:05:24,036 --> 00:05:25,747
Can you-can you hear me?

101
00:05:25,771 --> 00:05:27,015
Uh, I-I can hear you, sir.

102
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:28,950
I'm here. Do you know where you fell?

103
00:05:28,974 --> 00:05:30,919
I w... I was on the San Ramon
Trail. I think...

104
00:05:30,943 --> 00:05:33,722
Oh, God. I broke my leg, for sure.

105
00:05:33,746 --> 00:05:34,856
I can see the bone in...

106
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,791
I-I can barely hear you, sir.

107
00:05:36,815 --> 00:05:38,793
Can you tell me precisely
where on the trail?

108
00:05:38,817 --> 00:05:41,029
Vista Point, Abalone Cove.

109
00:05:41,053 --> 00:05:43,698
I'm bleeding.
Please, God, help me. Please...

110
00:05:46,058 --> 00:05:48,003
Hello?

111
00:05:49,343 --> 00:05:51,840
I'm staring at this stranger in this bed,

112
00:05:51,864 --> 00:05:54,809
tubes coming out of him.
I don't know this man.

113
00:05:54,833 --> 00:05:56,911
How am I supposed to make
a life-and-death decision

114
00:05:56,935 --> 00:05:58,713
for a total stranger?

115
00:05:58,737 --> 00:06:00,302
Hen, you do realize

116
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:01,983
we're not driving around
in a mail truck here?

117
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:04,986
You make life-or-death decisions
for total strangers

118
00:06:05,010 --> 00:06:07,622
every single day.
How is this any different?

119
00:06:07,646 --> 00:06:11,157
Those total strangers didn't
abandon me when I was nine.

120
00:06:11,181 --> 00:06:13,695
Look, I don't mean to sound cold,

121
00:06:13,719 --> 00:06:15,096
but is there really even a decision

122
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,665
that needs to be made here?

123
00:06:16,689 --> 00:06:18,633
I mean, that prognosis...

124
00:06:18,657 --> 00:06:20,869
people don't generally recover
from something like that.

125
00:06:20,893 --> 00:06:22,804
Well, people
don't generally survive rebar

126
00:06:22,828 --> 00:06:24,806
through their brain either.

127
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:26,730
But then they surprise you.

128
00:06:28,667 --> 00:06:29,966
Touché.

129
00:06:40,713 --> 00:06:42,691
The old trail should be right up there.

130
00:06:42,715 --> 00:06:44,693
Park warden said they closed it down

131
00:06:44,717 --> 00:06:45,994
a few years back.
Guess every once in a while

132
00:06:46,018 --> 00:06:48,830
they still get a thrill-seeker
who ignores the signs.

133
00:06:48,854 --> 00:06:49,998
They haven't been able to ping the phone?

134
00:06:50,022 --> 00:06:52,723
Yeah. No contact
since the call was dropped.

135
00:07:02,901 --> 00:07:04,879
- Cap.
- Yeah.

136
00:07:04,903 --> 00:07:06,937
Guess this is where he went over.

137
00:07:10,809 --> 00:07:12,754
All right, everybody gear up.

138
00:07:12,778 --> 00:07:14,823
Hen, Chimney, get the winch
and the guidelines.

139
00:07:14,847 --> 00:07:16,624
Prep a basket just in case.

140
00:07:16,648 --> 00:07:17,759
I'm gonna radio Aerial Recon,

141
00:07:17,783 --> 00:07:18,793
have 'em on standby.

142
00:07:18,817 --> 00:07:19,923
Copy that.

143
00:07:20,363 --> 00:07:21,930
This is Captain Bobby Nash. T-118.

144
00:07:21,954 --> 00:07:24,966
Aerial Recon to Abalone Cove
in Palos Verdes.

145
00:07:24,990 --> 00:07:27,264
Copy that, T-118.

146
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:40,637
All right, big jump, Eddie. Come on.

147
00:07:55,921 --> 00:07:58,295
Buck, Eddie, you guys see
anything down there?

148
00:07:59,691 --> 00:08:01,511
No.

149
00:08:01,535 --> 00:08:04,628
Just a million-dollar view.

150
00:08:07,633 --> 00:08:09,611
Cap, found something.

151
00:08:09,635 --> 00:08:10,745
Is it our hiker?

152
00:08:14,873 --> 00:08:16,684
A hiker.

153
00:08:16,708 --> 00:08:18,686
Don't think it's the one
we came looking for.

154
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:20,296
It's human remains, Cap.

155
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,756
Skeletal remains.

156
00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:24,366
All right. Well, flag it but don't
disturb it. We'll call it in.

157
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:26,728
Unless...

158
00:08:26,752 --> 00:08:28,663
What, you think a ghost called 911?

159
00:08:28,687 --> 00:08:29,964
I'm just saying.

160
00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:32,634
Help!

161
00:08:32,658 --> 00:08:34,836
Okay. So, no ghost.

162
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:36,671
What's going on down there, guys?

163
00:08:36,695 --> 00:08:37,906
Yeah, I think we heard something, Cap.

164
00:08:37,930 --> 00:08:40,809
Easy, buddy. We're here.

165
00:08:40,833 --> 00:08:43,678
Hey, Cap, we got a live one.

166
00:08:43,702 --> 00:08:44,746
Can you tell me your name?

167
00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:46,335
Ian.

168
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,683
Ian, okay. We're gonna get you
out of here, okay?

169
00:08:48,707 --> 00:08:50,752
My le-my leg is broken.

170
00:08:52,945 --> 00:08:54,923
All right, guys, we're gonna
send a basket down to you.

171
00:08:54,947 --> 00:08:56,758
How'd you find me?

172
00:08:56,782 --> 00:08:58,693
It wasn't easy.
You weren't on long enough

173
00:08:58,717 --> 00:08:59,861
for them to ping your phone.

174
00:08:59,885 --> 00:09:01,167
On with who?

175
00:09:01,191 --> 00:09:02,897
With, uh, with 911.

176
00:09:02,921 --> 00:09:04,966
I dropped my phone when I went over.

177
00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:06,868
I didn't call 911.

178
00:09:15,466 --> 00:09:17,449
You guys still decorating those pumpkins?

179
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:19,452
How many are you making?

180
00:09:19,476 --> 00:09:21,655
- Oh, and why so many ghosts?
- Well, they're for Buck.

181
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,133
I'm gonna put 'em all over the firehouse.

182
00:09:24,157 --> 00:09:25,899
Bobby says he thinks a ghost

183
00:09:25,924 --> 00:09:27,427
- called 911.
- Mm.

184
00:09:27,451 --> 00:09:29,776
- That'd be so cool if it did.
- Well, Buck certainly thinks so.

185
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,217
- But ghosts aren't real.
- Tommy Sheridan's family

186
00:09:32,241 --> 00:09:35,067
used to live in this apartment
where this little old lady died,

187
00:09:35,094 --> 00:09:36,305
and he said the lights used to flicker

188
00:09:36,329 --> 00:09:38,006
when they used the tea kettle.

189
00:09:39,332 --> 00:09:41,310
Didn't that building get
red-tagged after the earthquake?

190
00:09:41,334 --> 00:09:43,078
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

191
00:09:43,102 --> 00:09:44,313
Sounds more like faulty wiring

192
00:09:44,337 --> 00:09:46,685
than signals from the other side.

193
00:09:46,709 --> 00:09:51,220
Harry, over 100 billion people
have lived on this planet.

194
00:09:51,244 --> 00:09:54,223
Pretty sure a little old lady
has died everywhere.

195
00:09:54,247 --> 00:09:58,060
Probably even in this very house.

196
00:09:58,084 --> 00:09:59,809
All right.
All right, all right, all right.

197
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:01,129
Enough of that, okay?

198
00:10:01,153 --> 00:10:03,198
Your dad's coming to pick you up soon.

199
00:10:03,222 --> 00:10:05,267
Why don't you guys
go get your stuff ready.

200
00:10:05,291 --> 00:10:07,846
Thanks for the help.
I'll let you know how it goes.

201
00:10:13,299 --> 00:10:15,344
A ghost called 911, huh?

202
00:10:15,368 --> 00:10:17,346
Well, we were out
on this call at Vista Point.

203
00:10:17,370 --> 00:10:19,114
A hiker fell off a cliff.

204
00:10:19,138 --> 00:10:21,116
I sent Buck and Eddie down
to look for him,

205
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:23,051
and they found bones.

206
00:10:23,075 --> 00:10:24,419
- Human?
- Yeah.

207
00:10:24,443 --> 00:10:26,288
We also found the hiker, alive,

208
00:10:26,312 --> 00:10:28,423
but he dropped his phone
when he went over the edge,

209
00:10:28,447 --> 00:10:31,193
and now Buck is convinced
that it was our skeletal friend

210
00:10:31,217 --> 00:10:32,327
who made the call.

211
00:10:32,351 --> 00:10:34,129
Well, what do you think happened?

212
00:10:34,153 --> 00:10:36,131
Eh, I think people like
to go hiking on that trail

213
00:10:36,155 --> 00:10:37,753
even though they know
they're not supposed to.

214
00:10:37,777 --> 00:10:40,235
And somebody saw him go over
and picked up his phone,

215
00:10:40,259 --> 00:10:42,137
used it to make the call
so that nobody would know

216
00:10:42,161 --> 00:10:43,171
that they were there, too.

217
00:10:43,195 --> 00:10:44,439
What do you know about the bones?

218
00:10:44,463 --> 00:10:47,209
Well, not much.
He'd been out there for a while.

219
00:10:47,233 --> 00:10:48,343
He?

220
00:10:48,367 --> 00:10:50,379
Yeah, there was this wedding band.

221
00:10:50,403 --> 00:10:53,437
Based on the ring size, Eddie
figured it must've been male.

222
00:10:56,108 --> 00:10:58,153
Hmm. Vista Point.

223
00:10:58,177 --> 00:11:00,222
- Palos Verdes, right?
- Yeah.

224
00:11:00,246 --> 00:11:02,057
Why are you getting
all detective on this?

225
00:11:02,081 --> 00:11:04,092
- This isn't your beat.
- I'm a field sergeant.

226
00:11:04,116 --> 00:11:06,128
- I go where I want.
- All right.

227
00:11:06,152 --> 00:11:08,230
Athena Grant. Hey, Randy?

228
00:11:08,254 --> 00:11:10,399
Yeah, how you doing?

229
00:11:10,423 --> 00:11:14,403
I hear you guys caught
a real cold case today.

230
00:11:14,427 --> 00:11:17,072
- What?
- Mm-hmm.

231
00:11:17,096 --> 00:11:19,063
You want to help me clean this up?

232
00:11:20,366 --> 00:11:22,244
Our grounds include

233
00:11:22,268 --> 00:11:25,113
two outdoor play areas,
state-of-the-art gymnasium,

234
00:11:25,137 --> 00:11:28,795
music, theater, the full range
of academic offerings,

235
00:11:28,819 --> 00:11:32,209
as well as behavioral
and cognitive programs.

236
00:11:34,146 --> 00:11:36,413
Look. Um...

237
00:11:39,352 --> 00:11:42,865
The programs sound good,
but Christopher's happiness

238
00:11:42,889 --> 00:11:45,167
is what's important to me.

239
00:11:45,191 --> 00:11:47,235
I want him to feel normal,

240
00:11:47,259 --> 00:11:49,271
not like some special-needs charity case.

241
00:11:49,295 --> 00:11:51,206
Every child is special. And, yes,

242
00:11:51,230 --> 00:11:53,308
some do have additional needs,

243
00:11:53,332 --> 00:11:55,865
but they're all equally our children.

244
00:11:56,435 --> 00:12:00,237
They learn as much from each
other as they do from us.

245
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:13,395
I think Christopher
would be well cared for.

246
00:12:19,722 --> 00:12:22,304
Okay. Let's do it.

247
00:12:22,328 --> 00:12:24,172
The only thing left
would be the family interview.

248
00:12:24,196 --> 00:12:27,175
- I'm sorry?
- Oh, Christopher's terrific.

249
00:12:27,199 --> 00:12:28,410
We have your information. All we need now

250
00:12:28,434 --> 00:12:30,312
is to meet Mrs. Diaz.

251
00:12:30,336 --> 00:12:32,443
That won't be a problem, will it?

252
00:12:33,139 --> 00:12:34,316
No, it's definitely a problem.

253
00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:35,417
Look, I know Christopher's mother

254
00:12:35,441 --> 00:12:37,219
is a touchy subject with you,

255
00:12:37,243 --> 00:12:39,321
but I'm sure if we explain the situation

256
00:12:39,345 --> 00:12:41,289
to Principal Summers
we can find a work around.

257
00:12:41,313 --> 00:12:43,872
Do you have a copy
of the custody agreement?

258
00:12:45,484 --> 00:12:46,717
There isn't one.

259
00:12:47,453 --> 00:12:49,252
We're still married.

260
00:12:53,259 --> 00:12:55,756
I don't understand why
people would pay for this.

261
00:12:55,780 --> 00:12:57,239
It's a bunch of guys in masks

262
00:12:57,263 --> 00:12:59,107
making minimum wage to say "boo."

263
00:12:59,131 --> 00:13:01,343
Hey, I'm paying just to laugh
at you screaming.

264
00:13:16,182 --> 00:13:18,026
Aah!

265
00:13:18,050 --> 00:13:20,250
- Whoa. Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

266
00:13:22,388 --> 00:13:24,321
Oh, my God.

267
00:13:27,248 --> 00:13:29,104
Uh, Chris,

268
00:13:29,128 --> 00:13:31,306
tell me you see those.

269
00:13:31,330 --> 00:13:33,375
Damn, special effects are on point.

270
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:36,266
I don't think those are special effects.

271
00:13:38,270 --> 00:13:41,249
- Oh...
- Whoa.

272
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,247
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

273
00:13:55,393 --> 00:13:57,164
_

274
00:13:57,189 --> 00:14:00,068
Do we know if anybody was bitten?

275
00:14:00,092 --> 00:14:03,238
You mean in like a Nosferatu,
Count Whatever kind of way?

276
00:14:03,262 --> 00:14:05,006
Listen, something like
ten percent of bats

277
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:06,308
are rabies carriers.
If I got guys in there

278
00:14:06,332 --> 00:14:08,243
foaming at the mouth, I need to know.

279
00:14:08,267 --> 00:14:10,212
I don't think. I mean,
most of the injuries

280
00:14:10,236 --> 00:14:12,013
happened in the stampede out.

281
00:14:12,037 --> 00:14:13,181
Anybody left inside?

282
00:14:13,205 --> 00:14:15,016
A few stragglers, maybe.

283
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,252
But we got cast in there
still trapped in their rigs.

284
00:14:17,276 --> 00:14:19,154
Buck, Eddie, head around back,

285
00:14:19,178 --> 00:14:20,886
see if you can figure out
the power situation.

286
00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:22,124
We can't save what we can't see.

287
00:14:22,148 --> 00:14:23,358
On it, Cap.

288
00:14:23,382 --> 00:14:25,773
But, it's not a phobia,
it's not even a fear.

289
00:14:25,797 --> 00:14:28,296
It's just, rats and mice
are way high up on my list

290
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,668
of things that should
absolutely not grow wings.

291
00:14:30,692 --> 00:14:32,100
I mean, how does this happen?

292
00:14:32,124 --> 00:14:34,069
Easy. These dumb-asses
built a haunted house beneath

293
00:14:34,093 --> 00:14:38,028
their natural habitat
during a damn mosquito epidemic.

294
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,211
Ah. Good job, boys.

295
00:14:43,235 --> 00:14:45,280
- Anybody back here?
- Oh, thank God.

296
00:14:45,304 --> 00:14:47,349
My boyfriend... when the bats spooked,

297
00:14:47,373 --> 00:14:49,151
he ran face-first into the wall.

298
00:14:49,175 --> 00:14:50,707
He hit his head pretty hard.

299
00:14:52,211 --> 00:14:54,378
I'll say he did.

300
00:14:56,215 --> 00:14:57,755
Got him.

301
00:15:00,286 --> 00:15:01,997
Sir, can you sit up?

302
00:15:02,021 --> 00:15:03,761
All right, here we go.

303
00:15:05,157 --> 00:15:07,554
- Sir, do you know what year it is?
- Uh, 2018.

304
00:15:07,578 --> 00:15:09,037
Can you tell me who the president is?

305
00:15:09,061 --> 00:15:11,072
Come on, do I have to?

306
00:15:11,096 --> 00:15:13,104
He'll be fine.

307
00:15:21,307 --> 00:15:23,925
Athena. What are you doing here?

308
00:15:23,949 --> 00:15:26,087
I heard about your, uh, ghost call.

309
00:15:26,111 --> 00:15:28,023
Oh, God. Buck won't let it go.

310
00:15:28,047 --> 00:15:30,192
I-It seems like the hiker that
they rescued is gonna be okay.

311
00:15:30,216 --> 00:15:34,129
Yeah. I'm actually here about
the one who wasn't so lucky.

312
00:15:34,153 --> 00:15:36,442
I went back and did some digging.

313
00:15:36,466 --> 00:15:39,034
I pulled any call
that referenced Vista Point.

314
00:15:39,058 --> 00:15:40,685
You're thinking what...
six, seven years ago?

315
00:15:40,709 --> 00:15:43,138
Our skeleton had a cell. Pay as you go.

316
00:15:43,162 --> 00:15:45,106
Untraceable, but, uh,

317
00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,142
the number was reassigned six years ago,

318
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:48,840
so I thought that maybe

319
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:50,312
that could narrow the search a little.

320
00:15:50,336 --> 00:15:53,652
- And that's all you have?
- Well, that and this.

321
00:15:53,676 --> 00:15:56,084
Initials on the inside of a band.

322
00:15:56,108 --> 00:15:58,353
Six letters of the alphabet.
Not much to go on.

323
00:15:58,377 --> 00:16:00,344
Your cell phone lead might be.

324
00:16:04,183 --> 00:16:07,229
I've got one here. October 29, 2011.

325
00:16:07,253 --> 00:16:09,231
911. What's your emergency?

326
00:16:09,255 --> 00:16:11,032
Uh, I was hiking, fell off...

327
00:16:11,056 --> 00:16:12,771
The cliff gave out.

328
00:16:12,795 --> 00:16:14,269
Can you-can you hear me?

329
00:16:14,293 --> 00:16:16,304
You're breaking up. What's your location?

330
00:16:16,328 --> 00:16:19,074
No. That's not right.
That sounds like my call

331
00:16:19,098 --> 00:16:20,998
from yesterday. Pull it up.

332
00:16:22,334 --> 00:16:24,312
911. What is your emergency?

333
00:16:27,011 --> 00:16:28,939
Uh, I-I can hear you, sir.

334
00:16:28,963 --> 00:16:30,239
I'm here. Do you know where you fell?

335
00:16:30,263 --> 00:16:32,053
I don't understand. There was a voice

336
00:16:32,077 --> 00:16:34,055
- on the other end of the line.
- What,

337
00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:36,024
same voice from seven years ago?

338
00:16:36,048 --> 00:16:38,260
- Yes.
- So a ghost called 911?

339
00:16:38,284 --> 00:16:40,028
He was down there for seven years.

340
00:16:40,052 --> 00:16:42,152
I guess he got tired of waiting.

341
00:16:48,262 --> 00:16:49,573
So it was a ghost?

342
00:16:49,935 --> 00:16:52,583
; Why are you whispering
and what did I just say?

343
00:16:52,608 --> 00:16:54,697
Yes, but your tech guy
says it was some kind

344
00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:55,999
of glitch in the system.

345
00:16:56,023 --> 00:16:59,002
Turns out a bunch
of the calls had weird static.

346
00:16:59,026 --> 00:17:02,216
Okay, so how do you explain that
it was the exact same call?

347
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,873
I said it sounded like the same call.

348
00:17:03,897 --> 00:17:05,742
A lot of these calls sound the same.

349
00:17:05,766 --> 00:17:07,744
Tell yourself that
if it makes you feel better,

350
00:17:07,768 --> 00:17:09,946
but we both know a ghost called 911.

351
00:17:09,970 --> 00:17:11,438
Okay.

352
00:17:11,462 --> 00:17:13,850
You know, I keep thinking
about the wedding ring.

353
00:17:13,874 --> 00:17:15,885
I mean, you saw it, right?

354
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:18,955
How many nights someone
was just waiting for news.

355
00:17:18,979 --> 00:17:21,891
I heard somewhere a person
is declared legally dead

356
00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:23,893
after they've been gone for seven years.

357
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:25,862
Yeah. I think you have to sign,
like, a petition or something.

358
00:17:25,886 --> 00:17:28,732
God, that is so awful.

359
00:17:28,756 --> 00:17:31,601
Having to admit to the world
that you've lost hope.

360
00:17:31,625 --> 00:17:33,453
Well, seven years is a long time.

361
00:17:33,927 --> 00:17:35,913
Probably lost hope way before that.

362
00:17:38,999 --> 00:17:40,877
No one can wait forever.

363
00:17:43,804 --> 00:17:46,783
Yeah, hope is a tricky thing.

364
00:17:47,842 --> 00:17:49,786
Yeah, it keeps you going

365
00:17:49,810 --> 00:17:51,788
for a while, but...

366
00:17:51,812 --> 00:17:53,923
at some point, if what you're hoping for

367
00:17:53,947 --> 00:17:55,558
is never gonna happen...

368
00:17:56,450 --> 00:17:59,429
then it's just holding you back
from your life.

369
00:17:59,707 --> 00:18:01,851
Yeah, but it's hard
to know, though, right?

370
00:18:01,876 --> 00:18:05,723
If you're hanging on too long or...

371
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,141
if you're giving up too soon.

372
00:18:09,165 --> 00:18:10,762
I think you do know.

373
00:18:13,934 --> 00:18:16,702
It just may take you some time
to admit it to yourself.

374
00:18:33,137 --> 00:18:34,764
Well, at least it's neat.

375
00:18:34,788 --> 00:18:38,635
I don't know if he
even had a living will.

376
00:18:38,659 --> 00:18:39,869
Doesn't look like there's

377
00:18:39,893 --> 00:18:42,694
a lot of money laying around for lawyers.

378
00:18:43,964 --> 00:18:47,151
Well, you can find forms online.

379
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,679
Maybe that's what he did.

380
00:18:49,703 --> 00:18:51,881
- Mmm.
- Uh...

381
00:18:51,905 --> 00:18:53,407
I'll go check his desk.

382
00:19:23,354 --> 00:19:24,803
How's it going over there?

383
00:19:26,707 --> 00:19:28,317
Babe, come look at this.

384
00:19:30,194 --> 00:19:31,855
What, you found the will?

385
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:33,790
No.

386
00:19:33,814 --> 00:19:35,825
It's that article
the Times did on paramedics.

387
00:19:35,849 --> 00:19:38,595
Oh, my God, with that awful photo of me?

388
00:19:38,619 --> 00:19:40,964
I happen to love that photo of you.

389
00:19:40,988 --> 00:19:43,767
This story is three years old.

390
00:19:43,791 --> 00:19:46,085
How long has my dad been back here?

391
00:19:55,803 --> 00:19:58,670
- Hi.
- Hi.

392
00:20:04,845 --> 00:20:06,778
- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah.

393
00:20:34,675 --> 00:20:36,653
He's gotten so big.

394
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:43,993
Has...

395
00:20:44,017 --> 00:20:45,995
he asked about me?

396
00:20:46,687 --> 00:20:48,698
Not in a while.

397
00:20:48,722 --> 00:20:49,933
He has a lot to keep him busy, though...

398
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:51,734
the move, new school,

399
00:20:51,758 --> 00:20:53,703
- new city, new people.
- Sure, sure.

400
00:20:53,727 --> 00:20:55,905
Yeah. He must've been shocked

401
00:20:55,929 --> 00:20:57,974
when you said you were leaving Texas.

402
00:20:58,324 --> 00:21:00,869
I sure was when you called yesterday.

403
00:21:00,893 --> 00:21:02,045
Shannon...

404
00:21:02,069 --> 00:21:05,373
So... tell me about this school.

405
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,686
They want to meet you.
Well, need to meet you.

406
00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:11,988
It's a requirement for admission.

407
00:21:12,012 --> 00:21:14,958
It looks... fancy.

408
00:21:15,424 --> 00:21:17,927
Not the kind of place
I thought you'd be into.

409
00:21:17,951 --> 00:21:19,804
Classes are smaller.

410
00:21:20,427 --> 00:21:22,538
Ten kids instead of 30. Uh...

411
00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:25,668
I mean, the art studio...

412
00:21:25,692 --> 00:21:27,737
- You should have seen him.
- Can I?

413
00:21:27,761 --> 00:21:28,938
See him?

414
00:21:28,962 --> 00:21:31,741
I mean, this is a big step.

415
00:21:31,765 --> 00:21:34,878
Switching schools when he just got here.

416
00:21:34,902 --> 00:21:37,981
Maybe I could talk to him?

417
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:40,016
Make sure it's what he wants.

418
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,885
I don't think that's a good idea.

419
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:43,470
It... it might confuse him.

420
00:21:43,494 --> 00:21:44,954
What's confusing?

421
00:21:44,978 --> 00:21:47,489
- I'm his mom.
- Who he hasn't seen

422
00:21:47,513 --> 00:21:48,925
in almost two years?

423
00:21:48,949 --> 00:21:50,994
My mother was sick. She was all alone.

424
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:52,962
I... You know why I had to go.

425
00:21:52,986 --> 00:21:55,732
Yeah, but we were
expecting you to come back.

426
00:21:55,756 --> 00:21:57,033
And you didn't.

427
00:21:57,057 --> 00:21:58,968
You could've come with me.

428
00:21:58,992 --> 00:22:00,937
But you didn't want to leave Texas

429
00:22:00,961 --> 00:22:03,706
and your parents and your sisters, and...

430
00:22:03,730 --> 00:22:05,975
At least not until it was something
that was important to you.

431
00:22:05,999 --> 00:22:07,944
That's not fair. I was trying to do

432
00:22:07,968 --> 00:22:09,679
- what's best for Christopher.
- Right.

433
00:22:09,703 --> 00:22:10,780
Because Eddie always knows

434
00:22:10,804 --> 00:22:11,948
what's best for everyone.

435
00:22:11,972 --> 00:22:13,917
I mean, God forbid you stop for a second

436
00:22:13,941 --> 00:22:15,852
and actually ask them what they need.

437
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,854
What did you need that I didn't give you?

438
00:22:17,878 --> 00:22:18,888
You!

439
00:22:18,912 --> 00:22:21,925
I needed a husband and a co-parent.

440
00:22:21,949 --> 00:22:25,695
And instead, all I got was a
life alone in Texas with a baby

441
00:22:25,719 --> 00:22:27,697
and you on another continent.

442
00:22:28,247 --> 00:22:30,900
I needed someone to have my back.

443
00:22:30,924 --> 00:22:32,409
I always had your back.

444
00:22:32,433 --> 00:22:34,003
No.

445
00:22:34,712 --> 00:22:36,728
You were in Afghanistan.

446
00:22:45,656 --> 00:22:47,334
Thanks again for coming by.

447
00:22:48,058 --> 00:22:50,845
Sometimes I like the quiet
when Michael has the kids.

448
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,782
Other times, not so much.

449
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,851
Are these the remains
we found the other day

450
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:57,753
- out in Palos Verdes?
- Mm-hmm.

451
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:59,721
I'm trying to ID them.

452
00:22:59,745 --> 00:23:02,658
You know, notify
the next of kin, hopefully.

453
00:23:02,682 --> 00:23:04,726
- That's your job?
- What, helping people?

454
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:07,429
I like to think so.

455
00:23:07,453 --> 00:23:09,989
No, no, no. I mean,
don't detectives do that?

456
00:23:10,014 --> 00:23:12,523
I'm sure they're gonna
drop all their hot cases

457
00:23:12,548 --> 00:23:15,095
where the victim just died
and the clues are everywhere

458
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,264
to find out what happened
to a pile of bones

459
00:23:17,288 --> 00:23:20,382
just laying out in the open, forgotten.

460
00:23:21,125 --> 00:23:23,203
I mean, I'm not saying they don't care.

461
00:23:23,227 --> 00:23:25,272
They're just too busy.

462
00:23:25,296 --> 00:23:27,274
So, did you run a DNA test?

463
00:23:27,298 --> 00:23:29,976
Yeah, I set one up,
but it's gonna take time.

464
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,112
Dental records
will probably come back first.

465
00:23:32,136 --> 00:23:34,480
Suddenly there's a rush?

466
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,050
Did I ever tell you about when I decided

467
00:23:37,074 --> 00:23:38,974
to become an officer of the law?

468
00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:44,980
I was nine years old.

469
00:23:46,783 --> 00:23:48,761
Middle of the night.

470
00:23:48,786 --> 00:23:51,098
I wake up and I see
my father getting dressed.

471
00:23:51,956 --> 00:23:55,001
Grabbing a flashlight, his gun.

472
00:23:55,417 --> 00:23:57,003
I look out the window,

473
00:23:57,027 --> 00:24:00,028
and I see the whole
neighborhood out there.

474
00:24:01,098 --> 00:24:02,275
A little girl...

475
00:24:02,299 --> 00:24:05,912
she was, uh, a grade
behind me at school...

476
00:24:05,936 --> 00:24:07,847
had gone missing.

477
00:24:09,140 --> 00:24:12,986
Someone had just snatched her
right out of her bed.

478
00:24:13,010 --> 00:24:14,921
Nightmare.

479
00:24:14,945 --> 00:24:16,256
They find her?

480
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,026
They found the barrette out
of her hair out in the woods.

481
00:24:20,050 --> 00:24:21,962
But that was it.

482
00:24:21,986 --> 00:24:24,052
She was just gone.

483
00:24:26,023 --> 00:24:29,936
My mother, she went over
to the girl's parents' house

484
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,306
twice a week, bringing food,
that kind of thing.

485
00:24:33,998 --> 00:24:37,010
I almost never saw them except at church.

486
00:24:37,034 --> 00:24:40,002
That was the only time they went out.

487
00:24:42,306 --> 00:24:46,208
But I remember how much
they would change.

488
00:24:49,346 --> 00:24:53,293
Just one week of not knowing
where their baby was

489
00:24:53,317 --> 00:24:56,163
was enough to age them.

490
00:24:56,187 --> 00:25:00,167
It was just six months or so
before they were totally broken.

491
00:25:00,191 --> 00:25:02,235
And I promised myself
that when I was old enough

492
00:25:02,259 --> 00:25:04,204
I was gonna become a policewoman

493
00:25:04,228 --> 00:25:08,063
and find that little girl
for those people.

494
00:25:09,491 --> 00:25:11,077
Ease their pain.

495
00:25:11,101 --> 00:25:12,245
Did you find her?

496
00:25:12,269 --> 00:25:14,169
I did not.

497
00:25:20,010 --> 00:25:22,255
But somebody...

498
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,913
loved this man.

499
00:25:29,954 --> 00:25:32,165
You're thinking about your father?

500
00:25:32,598 --> 00:25:35,135
He's the ghost that haunts my brain.

501
00:25:35,159 --> 00:25:37,971
You any closer
to figuring out what to do?

502
00:25:37,995 --> 00:25:40,963
It shouldn't be such a struggle.

503
00:25:42,233 --> 00:25:46,146
I think a part of me is hoping that

504
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:47,863
he'll wake up...

505
00:25:50,407 --> 00:25:53,242
so that I can meet him, finally.

506
00:25:58,349 --> 00:26:01,669
I never even let myself...

507
00:26:02,544 --> 00:26:06,066
imagine who this man was all these years.

508
00:26:06,090 --> 00:26:09,936
It was just too... much pain

509
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,128
to make him real in my mind's eye.

510
00:26:14,999 --> 00:26:17,210
Which means that...

511
00:26:17,851 --> 00:26:20,981
I've never hated him enough to feel good

512
00:26:21,005 --> 00:26:24,117
about pulling the plug on him.

513
00:26:24,775 --> 00:26:26,286
Well, now at least you know

514
00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:29,923
he was a man haunted by his demons

515
00:26:29,947 --> 00:26:33,026
and channeling his own angels.

516
00:26:33,701 --> 00:26:35,962
Like any of us.

517
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,071
I'll be damned.

518
00:26:45,095 --> 00:26:47,107
Medical just got a hit.

519
00:26:47,923 --> 00:26:49,209
You got a name?

520
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:50,944
Cal State Prison.

521
00:26:50,968 --> 00:26:52,178
Alex Armando Perez.

522
00:26:52,202 --> 00:26:54,214
He was just 22 years old.

523
00:26:54,238 --> 00:26:56,271
He'd only been out six months.

524
00:27:04,081 --> 00:27:06,442
Are you some kind of pirate?

525
00:27:08,185 --> 00:27:10,130
Snake Plissken?

526
00:27:10,612 --> 00:27:12,032
Escape from New York?

527
00:27:12,056 --> 00:27:13,166
Kurt Russell?

528
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:15,001
John Carpenter's masterpiece?

529
00:27:15,025 --> 00:27:16,485
Oh, right, right. Well, I prefer

530
00:27:16,509 --> 00:27:18,071
Tango & Cash myself.

531
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:20,173
But you look cute, so I approve.

532
00:27:25,794 --> 00:27:27,147
Though I'm disappointed

533
00:27:27,171 --> 00:27:29,905
that costume didn't come with a smile.

534
00:27:33,478 --> 00:27:34,847
I had a fight with Shannon.

535
00:27:35,054 --> 00:27:37,958
When I asked her to help
with Christopher and the school,

536
00:27:38,669 --> 00:27:40,293
she asked to see Christopher first.

537
00:27:40,317 --> 00:27:43,548
And you said no? Okay, if you
want her back in your life,

538
00:27:43,572 --> 00:27:45,999
you're gonna have to ease her
back into it at some point.

539
00:27:46,023 --> 00:27:48,301
- Who said I want her back in my life?
- Please.

540
00:27:48,325 --> 00:27:50,971
So you decided to leave Texas,

541
00:27:50,995 --> 00:27:53,940
and you just so happened to choose a job

542
00:27:53,964 --> 00:27:57,043
working 30 minutes
from where your ex lives?

543
00:27:57,067 --> 00:27:59,045
LAFD are the best in the country.

544
00:27:59,069 --> 00:28:01,790
- In the world.
- If she's gotten herself back together,

545
00:28:01,814 --> 00:28:03,917
you know what's best for your son.

546
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:06,186
And that's for his mother
to be back in his life.

547
00:28:06,210 --> 00:28:08,021
Sooner than later.

548
00:28:08,045 --> 00:28:09,889
What if she screws up again?

549
00:28:09,913 --> 00:28:13,059
Both of you have grown up
a lot over the years.

550
00:28:13,550 --> 00:28:16,384
- And a boy needs his mama.
- Daddy?

551
00:28:19,223 --> 00:28:22,235
You know what, you're so cute,
I could just rip you to shreds.

552
00:28:38,108 --> 00:28:39,285
What's his name?

553
00:28:39,309 --> 00:28:40,987
Hey. This is City Slicker.

554
00:28:41,011 --> 00:28:42,222
He's a quarter horse.

555
00:28:42,246 --> 00:28:44,924
- Do you get to keep him?
- No, he belongs to the police,

556
00:28:44,948 --> 00:28:47,027
but I get to take care of him
and I train him

557
00:28:47,051 --> 00:28:48,183
on how to be a good police horse.

558
00:28:51,221 --> 00:28:53,955
Would you like to feed him some apple?

559
00:29:06,970 --> 00:29:09,215
Whoa...

560
00:29:09,239 --> 00:29:11,907
Whoa!

561
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:28,704
There's a horse running,
and he looks really spooked!

562
00:29:28,728 --> 00:29:31,054
Officer down.
Repeat, we have an officer down.

563
00:29:31,078 --> 00:29:32,809
Requesting immediate assistance.

564
00:29:39,973 --> 00:29:42,585
Easy, City.

565
00:29:42,609 --> 00:29:43,853
He never gets spooked.

566
00:29:44,892 --> 00:29:46,689
It was too many things at once.

567
00:29:46,713 --> 00:29:49,131
I don't know if the air splint
will fit his leg. I...

568
00:29:49,155 --> 00:29:50,793
You know, may-maybe I can try
and rig something.

569
00:29:50,817 --> 00:29:52,728
It's not just his leg.

570
00:29:52,752 --> 00:29:54,630
Should I radio for Animal Services?

571
00:29:54,654 --> 00:29:56,732
It's gonna take them an hour to get here.

572
00:29:56,756 --> 00:29:59,735
- He's in pain.
- Maybe the-the vet can fix it.

573
00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:01,671
Horses are very prone to infection.

574
00:30:01,695 --> 00:30:04,807
Their intestines don't
respond well to antibiotics.

575
00:30:04,831 --> 00:30:06,709
It's almost impossible
for the immune response

576
00:30:06,733 --> 00:30:08,445
to work effectively.

577
00:30:08,469 --> 00:30:10,746
- How much does he weigh?
- About a thousand pounds.

578
00:30:10,770 --> 00:30:12,564
We don't have enough barbiturates

579
00:30:12,588 --> 00:30:14,324
on the truck to get it done.

580
00:30:14,348 --> 00:30:16,786
- He would need a sedative first.
- Get it done?

581
00:30:16,810 --> 00:30:18,546
Otherwise he would
just thrash around like crazy

582
00:30:18,571 --> 00:30:20,549
- till his heart gave out.
- Are you sure

583
00:30:20,573 --> 00:30:22,317
you want to do this?

584
00:30:22,341 --> 00:30:24,486
We-we could... we could try other things.

585
00:30:24,510 --> 00:30:26,377
We both know they won't work.

586
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:29,144
He's a good boy.

587
00:30:29,742 --> 00:30:31,609
I just don't want him to suffer anymore.

588
00:30:35,521 --> 00:30:37,399
It's okay, bud.

589
00:30:37,423 --> 00:30:39,568
It's okay.

590
00:30:39,592 --> 00:30:42,571
Administering sedative.

591
00:30:42,595 --> 00:30:46,275
Thank you, buddy.

592
00:30:46,299 --> 00:30:47,576
Thank you for keeping me company.

593
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,245
Thank you for keeping me safe.

594
00:30:50,269 --> 00:30:51,480
Now you're gonna go to sleep, okay?

595
00:30:51,504 --> 00:30:53,549
When you wake up, you're gonna be

596
00:30:53,573 --> 00:30:56,218
in a field of sage,
and you can just run forever.

597
00:30:56,242 --> 00:30:59,455
But you don't have to stay
and watch anymore.

598
00:30:59,479 --> 00:31:01,590
You don't have to be strong

599
00:31:01,614 --> 00:31:03,325
or calm or brave.

600
00:31:03,349 --> 00:31:05,227
You can just be free.

601
00:31:06,486 --> 00:31:08,430
Just be a horse again.

602
00:31:08,976 --> 00:31:10,354
Morphine.

603
00:31:18,197 --> 00:31:19,408
Bobby?

604
00:31:19,945 --> 00:31:21,477
You want me to do it, Hen?

605
00:31:21,501 --> 00:31:23,490
No, I got it.

606
00:31:37,550 --> 00:31:39,047
Hen.

607
00:32:44,383 --> 00:32:46,350
He's my friend.

608
00:32:48,421 --> 00:32:50,187
He's my friend.

609
00:33:11,310 --> 00:33:13,377
Trick or treat!

610
00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:20,495
Alana Perez?

611
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:23,777
I'm Sergeant Grant. I'm here about Alex.

612
00:33:37,958 --> 00:33:39,314
When?

613
00:33:39,338 --> 00:33:41,450
We identified his remains yesterday.

614
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,452
But it'd been awhile.

615
00:33:44,089 --> 00:33:45,590
Seven years.

616
00:33:47,413 --> 00:33:50,425
I saw your missing persons report.

617
00:33:50,449 --> 00:33:54,363
They kept trying to tell me
he'd run out on me.

618
00:33:55,308 --> 00:33:58,300
That he'd gone back to his old life.

619
00:33:58,324 --> 00:34:01,336
I'd get so...

620
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,272
mad.

621
00:34:04,067 --> 00:34:07,409
Not that nobody believed me...

622
00:34:08,447 --> 00:34:10,835
but that nobody believed in him.

623
00:34:10,859 --> 00:34:14,383
There was no evidence of foul play.

624
00:34:14,407 --> 00:34:17,539
It looks he was just hiking and the...

625
00:34:18,311 --> 00:34:22,224
the road washed out beneath his feet.

626
00:34:22,248 --> 00:34:23,925
The medical examiner

627
00:34:23,949 --> 00:34:26,548
will contact you about his remains.

628
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:37,309
In the meantime, I-I thought
you might like to have this.

629
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,318
Mami, Mami, can we go now?

630
00:34:49,342 --> 00:34:51,553
Yes, baby, of course. Just a minute.

631
00:34:51,577 --> 00:34:53,544
Just a minute.

632
00:35:01,454 --> 00:35:05,754
Thank you. Thank you.

633
00:35:10,827 --> 00:35:13,020
Well thank you for coming by Mrs. Diaz

634
00:35:13,069 --> 00:35:15,080
- It's been a pleasure to meet you.
- You too. Thank you.

635
00:35:15,104 --> 00:35:16,070
You're welcome. Have a good day.

636
00:35:19,526 --> 00:35:21,786
- Hey.
- Hey.

637
00:35:22,493 --> 00:35:25,388
School called to tell me
about your appointment.

638
00:35:25,412 --> 00:35:27,423
- Thought I'd head over.
- Well, don't worry.

639
00:35:27,447 --> 00:35:29,425
I didn't tank the interview, okay?

640
00:35:29,449 --> 00:35:31,829
- Least, I don't think I did.
- I'm sure you did great.

641
00:35:31,854 --> 00:35:33,583
I appreciate it. Christopher will, too.

642
00:35:33,607 --> 00:35:34,700
That's why you're here...

643
00:35:34,724 --> 00:35:36,690
to pass along thank-yous from my own son?

644
00:35:41,664 --> 00:35:42,874
When you left...

645
00:35:44,543 --> 00:35:46,712
I understood.

646
00:35:47,295 --> 00:35:48,714
I tried to.

647
00:35:48,738 --> 00:35:49,982
And you were taking care of your mother,

648
00:35:50,006 --> 00:35:52,651
and I was trying to take care
of Christopher, and...

649
00:35:52,675 --> 00:35:55,754
and we-we just drifted
further away from each other.

650
00:35:55,778 --> 00:35:57,514
But I always thought you'd come home.

651
00:35:58,681 --> 00:36:01,660
Maybe we'd have a chance
to make things right.

652
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:03,962
But you didn't.

653
00:36:03,986 --> 00:36:05,831
So I guess I-I just...

654
00:36:05,855 --> 00:36:07,966
I need to know.

655
00:36:08,692 --> 00:36:09,968
Why?

656
00:36:09,992 --> 00:36:11,642
I didn't know how.

657
00:36:13,173 --> 00:36:16,716
The longer I was gone, the
harder was to come back.

658
00:36:16,833 --> 00:36:19,812
To face you.
And to face Christopher and...

659
00:36:20,704 --> 00:36:22,781
He must hate me.

660
00:36:22,805 --> 00:36:24,883
What are you talking about?
Why would Christopher hate you?

661
00:36:24,907 --> 00:36:26,952
Because I did this to him.

662
00:36:27,669 --> 00:36:29,988
I have relived every moment

663
00:36:30,012 --> 00:36:32,958
of that pregnancy so many times,

664
00:36:32,982 --> 00:36:34,993
just trying to figure out

665
00:36:35,017 --> 00:36:37,896
how it happened, and...

666
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,932
what I did wrong.

667
00:36:40,974 --> 00:36:42,801
And I thought I could make up for it,

668
00:36:42,825 --> 00:36:44,803
so I did all this research,

669
00:36:44,827 --> 00:36:47,639
finding new treatments
and different therapies.

670
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:50,676
But it was all still
so overwhelming and exhausting,

671
00:36:50,700 --> 00:36:51,985
and I just...

672
00:36:52,668 --> 00:36:54,613
needed a break.

673
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:58,750
So then the mother
who hurt her kid left him.

674
00:36:59,164 --> 00:37:00,721
I'm sorry.

675
00:37:03,591 --> 00:37:05,657
You didn't do anything wrong.

676
00:37:05,681 --> 00:37:06,958
What happened...

677
00:37:08,751 --> 00:37:09,895
wasn't your fault.

678
00:37:09,919 --> 00:37:12,865
I... I know that.

679
00:37:12,889 --> 00:37:14,967
I just...

680
00:37:14,991 --> 00:37:17,658
I don't feel it.

681
00:37:22,223 --> 00:37:23,892
Christopher loves you.

682
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,902
And he misses you.

683
00:37:34,944 --> 00:37:36,922
I miss you.

684
00:37:37,322 --> 00:37:38,913
I missed you.

685
00:38:16,319 --> 00:38:17,796
Everyone in my life...

686
00:38:18,113 --> 00:38:20,704
my sister, the team...

687
00:38:20,728 --> 00:38:22,601
they're on my side.

688
00:38:22,625 --> 00:38:25,704
Now, what I really need right now

689
00:38:25,728 --> 00:38:29,275
is to talk to someone on Abby's side.

690
00:38:29,299 --> 00:38:31,500
- Okay, Buck, you know I don't do sides.
- But you know...

691
00:38:31,524 --> 00:38:33,879
- I love both of you.
- Yeah, but you know her.

692
00:38:33,903 --> 00:38:36,715
All right, honestly, maybe
even better than I do right now.

693
00:38:36,739 --> 00:38:40,173
I, uh, haven't spoken to her in weeks.

694
00:38:40,197 --> 00:38:43,655
The gap between talks
keeps getting longer,

695
00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:45,958
and the conversations shorter.

696
00:38:46,391 --> 00:38:48,760
There's this... this voice in my head

697
00:38:48,784 --> 00:38:50,061
keeps on saying...

698
00:38:52,655 --> 00:38:54,833
"Move on, Buck.

699
00:38:55,358 --> 00:38:56,835
She's never gonna come back."

700
00:38:56,859 --> 00:38:58,971
She still cares about you.

701
00:39:00,170 --> 00:39:02,407
She's just not ready to come home yet.

702
00:39:03,021 --> 00:39:04,911
At least not to this one.

703
00:39:06,669 --> 00:39:08,747
- Wait, what does that mean?
- Her brother's

704
00:39:08,771 --> 00:39:09,848
been after her, you know,

705
00:39:09,872 --> 00:39:11,783
to come stay with them for a bit.

706
00:39:11,807 --> 00:39:13,885
And truthfully,
I think it'll be good for her.

707
00:39:13,909 --> 00:39:16,473
I mean, she needs to go and dip her toe

708
00:39:16,497 --> 00:39:17,956
in the real world.

709
00:39:18,339 --> 00:39:20,792
So, you know, she doesn't have a fear

710
00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:23,595
of being pulled under
by all of these memories.

711
00:39:24,032 --> 00:39:25,999
Yeah, tell me about it.

712
00:39:27,140 --> 00:39:30,736
Everything in this place is hers.

713
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,606
She feels less and less
a part of it every day.

714
00:39:34,630 --> 00:39:36,675
See, this-this whole time, I-I felt

715
00:39:36,699 --> 00:39:39,878
like I was being haunted
by this memory of her, but...

716
00:39:40,445 --> 00:39:42,286
but maybe I'm the ghost.

717
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,983
Lingering here when...

718
00:39:45,007 --> 00:39:48,453
when I should've moved on
a long time ago.

719
00:39:53,458 --> 00:39:55,727
You probably didn't know this,

720
00:39:55,751 --> 00:39:58,930
but when I was a little kid,

721
00:39:58,954 --> 00:40:01,666
I used to write you letters.

722
00:40:01,690 --> 00:40:02,934
Mom said that we would mail them off

723
00:40:02,958 --> 00:40:05,003
as soon as we got your new address.

724
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:07,839
That never happened, but I kept writing.

725
00:40:07,863 --> 00:40:11,976
I wrote about my Cabbage Patch dolls.

726
00:40:13,853 --> 00:40:17,704
And the day I got inducted
into the National Honor Society.

727
00:40:20,610 --> 00:40:22,403
And that moment...

728
00:40:23,712 --> 00:40:26,115
I saw my best friend and I...

729
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:29,995
I realized I wanted to kiss her.

730
00:40:30,662 --> 00:40:34,699
You became like my diary.

731
00:40:35,124 --> 00:40:38,169
Confessions to an imaginary daddy.

732
00:40:39,420 --> 00:40:41,907
I don't know what you would've wanted,

733
00:40:41,931 --> 00:40:43,897
'cause I don't know you.

734
00:40:46,511 --> 00:40:48,902
I can only go off of what I would want.

735
00:40:51,086 --> 00:40:53,252
And I wouldn't want to live like this.

736
00:40:55,562 --> 00:40:57,978
Some ghost in a hospital bed.

737
00:41:05,572 --> 00:41:07,888
So I'm gonna forgive you, Dad.

738
00:41:12,988 --> 00:41:14,154
And let you...

739
00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:19,733
...and let you go.

740
00:41:27,051 --> 00:41:29,688
We are all haunted.

741
00:41:31,660 --> 00:41:33,240
By the ones we've loved

742
00:41:33,264 --> 00:41:35,861
and the ones we've lost.

743
00:41:41,824 --> 00:41:43,902
By the choices we've made

744
00:41:43,926 --> 00:41:46,696
and the ones we still struggle with.

745
00:41:50,799 --> 00:41:54,713
Our lives are like
a series of ghost stories.

746
00:42:07,619 --> 00:42:10,629
Sometimes all we can do is turn the page.

747
00:42:12,322 --> 00:42:13,371
Let go.

748
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:26,011
That's what I need to do now.

749
00:42:26,035 --> 00:42:28,880
I'm not sure if you'll ever come back

750
00:42:28,904 --> 00:42:31,645
or how I'll feel if you do,

751
00:42:31,669 --> 00:42:34,853
but I am sure that I cannot wait anymore.

752
00:42:34,877 --> 00:42:38,757
You are my ghost story, Abby.

753
00:42:39,540 --> 00:42:41,927
You are the amazing spirit

754
00:42:41,951 --> 00:42:45,541
that blew into my life,
turned it upside down,

755
00:42:45,565 --> 00:42:48,033
and then vanished into the night.

756
00:42:48,925 --> 00:42:51,364
Being with you made me a better man,

757
00:42:51,388 --> 00:42:54,695
and for that I will always love you.

758
00:42:57,802 --> 00:42:59,162
Now it's time

759
00:42:59,186 --> 00:43:02,271
for me to figure out who I am

760
00:43:03,190 --> 00:43:04,524
without you.
