Um, I'll call you later.

You know it's been a year since

since it's been a year,
you might wanna talk about...

Well, talk about
what happened to your sister.

I don't feel like

and she died three years ago

And what else, Sam?

Can you describe
that actual feeling?

Numbness.

Numbness.

And I've told you before
that you should try

to make a concerted effort
to change that.

That feeling's not
just gonna go away on its own.

Isn't that what you're here for?

Well, I think you need friends,

healthy human relationships,

and you have to choose
to want it, Sam.

- Just reminding you of that.

It's okay, Sam, it's okay.

You don't know

No, they don't know.

Also, they haven't figured out
who he is from any databases.

Yeah, well that's what
they pay us the big bucks for,

- right?
- I mean, what'd you suss out

from the evidence report?

Well, besides that notebook,

our John Doe had on him
the following:

a camping pass
for the Angeles Mountains

and a business card.

I mean, no wallet, no phone,
but on the backside of the card

there's a set of coordinates.

Well, where are the coordinates?

Up in the mountains
in the forest

about two hours out.

And who's the card from?

Jensen Networking Solutions.

I looked him up, he's in town.

Well, Jensen sounds good
for tomorrow, yeah.

- I'll pick you up?
- All right, sounds good.

- Hi, are you Michael Jensen?
- Yes.

I'm Detective Sam Morris,
and me and my partner would like

to ask you a couple questions
if that's all right.

Sure, come in, detectives.

Have a seat.

What can I do for you,
detectives?

We're working on a John Doe.

This man died two days ago.

We're trying to get
a positive ID.

Do you mind
looking at a picture?

Okay.

No, sorry, I don't know him.

Can you think of a reason
he would have your card?

Well...

I work freelance.

I have a decent amount
of clients.

Perhaps one of them
recommended me to him?

I'd give you my client list
if you like.

How long you been taking photos?

Oh, well, many, many years.

I used to shoot on film,
so that shows my age.

So, what kind
of freelance work do you do?

Network infrastructure
and storage solutions.

So, that's like, um,
servers and stuff?

Yep, you got it.

If you remember anything else,
could you give us a call,

- Mr. Jensen?
- Of course.

Have a good night, sir.

I'm gonna check out Jensen's
social pages later.

Hey, you think we can
get up in the mountains tonight?

What, now?

- I... it's dark.
- So?

Well, so... I mean, Jules wouldn't
be too thrilled about that.

I told her today
would be a quick one.

Mm, I don't think your wife
should be interfering

in police business.

Well, you could
tell her that yourself.

Would you like to
come to dinner tonight?

She would love to see you.

No, I'm good, thanks.

- You sure?
- Yes.

All right, Sam, tell me when.

All right.

(glugging)

- That's good, thanks.
- All right.

Jules, do you want some red
or do you want your white?

Oh, I'll just take a glass

- Thanks for having me, Jules.
- Oh, sweetie, of course.

You're like family.

So, what should we cheers to?

- The future?
- oh, so dramatic.

How about we, uh, cheers to
the bottom of the bottle?

- Yeah.
- That works.

- The future, Keller?
- Hey.

I'm with my two favorite women,
and by the way, Sam,

Jules and I are
gonna start a family soon,

so yeah, the future's
looking pretty bright.

You are so corny, babe.

Well, I'm happy
to have what I have.

All right, we get it,

(chuckling)

So, Sam, I heard you might be
looking for a new place.

Did you find one yet?

Um, no.

I mean, I like where I am.

Well, are you sure?
Because I actually found

some spots in this area.

- Jules.
- John.

I like my dark and gloomy cave
just fine.

Okay, just saying.

And I'm just saying,
maybe you should

stop spending so much time
on those real estate sites.

What? I don't.

- How much time we talking?
- Like an hour in the morning

and an hour before bed.

- That's not a lot, right?
- No, um,

that's perfectly healthy.

Listen, Sam.

I know that John
is your partner,

but you can talk to me, too.

What, you mean like girl talk?

I mean, you don't have

I appreciate that, but, uh,
