[line clicks]

We're home. We brought
steak frites and chocolate tart.

I almost felt bad putting on Eddie's dime
until I did it.

That's what he gets for leaving us.

I thought you made peace with him.

Yeah, I did.
I'm taking over his lease, aren't I?

[chuckles] Yeah.

And Freddie Fake Man didn't let
anybody forget about it at dinner.

Hey, do me a favor,
would you? Grab a plate.

It is criminal to eat steak frites
from a to-go box.

Ooh. Uh, hey, Maddie,
I'm eating your fries.

Easy, Mr. Megaphone.
I got a sleeping toddler in the house.

If she wakes up,
it's your job to put her back to bed.

I will take any quality time
with my niece I can get.

-Where… Where is Maddie?
-She's probably in the shower.

I don't hear any water running.

Neither do I.

Maddie.

She's not here.

Jee-Yun's asleep. Maddie's not here.

Why would she leave her alone, even
for a minute? This doesn't make any sense.

-[line ringing]
-[sighs]

[phone vibrates]

Okay, now I'm freaking out a little.

I found this on the sink.

[Jee-Yun] Daddy.

Where's Mommy?

[kidnapper 1, crying] Are you sure?
Are you sure there isn't another way?

-She has a daughter.
-[kidnapper 2] I know that.

I was there, stupid.

[sobbing] Yeah, but… [sniffles] …I think
she's a really, really good person

and I think she just… w-wanted to help us.
[sobbing]

[kidnapper 2] That was her mistake.
And yours.

[kidnapper 1] But this one
is not… not like the others. [sniffles]

People will be… looking for her.

[stammers] We're gonna get caught.

[kidnapper 2] Stop it.
Stop it, you sniveling little baby.

You think I like doing this?

I hate doing this.

[as kidnapper 1] Then, why are you?

[as kidnapper 2] To protect us,
protect you.

This is a private conversation.

[Maddie whimpers]

[Hen] Well, just please give me a call
if she does.

Yes, Maddie Han, H-A-N.

Uh, okay, copy. No, no,
that that's all I got. Thank you.

[sighs] Nobody matching Maddie's
description at Presbyterian ER either.

Dispatch said her car hasn't been involved
in any kind of accident

-anywhere across the city.
-What about her phone?

No, there's nothing here.

[knocks on door]

Uh, I got it.

-Hey, thanks for calling. Where is he?
-Over there.

[sighs] Chimney.

-Hey.
-Eddie.

-Any news?
-[Buck] No,

we called every hospital
from here to Orange County.

I think it's time
we call someone else, Chim.

I think you need to file
a missing person's report.

Yeah, I-I agree.

I don't know. [sighs]

What are you waiting for?

Listen. When we found out
that she was pregnant, we made a deal.

She said that she wouldn't leave
without telling me

and I told her that I would not treat her
like she's broken.

Chim, if she's really
out there having a mental health crisis,

we need to get her help.

God, she was doing so well.

She was doing well before too.
Until she wasn't.

[Eddie] Chim, this is not your fault,
okay? We're gonna find her.

All right, you two,
start canvassing the neighborhood.

You don't know,
she might just be out there walking.

-Right.
-I'm gonna stay here with Jee-Yun

while Jim heads downtown.

-Downtown… Who are you calling?
-Athena.

[line ringing]

Time to wake up.

Sit up!

[breathing heavily]

Here.

Have some water. You must be parched.

Chloroform will do that.

[grunts]

It's not drugged. If I wanted to dose
you again, I would just use the rag.

Come on.

See? Isn't that better?

Okay. I know what you're thinking,
and no, it's not a dream.

You were the first to raise your hand.

Athena said that you volunteered
for this case.

Well, yeah. [chuckles]

I mean, I wanted to see
if I could ease your mind,

convince you that it was all a hoax.

And then you walked
into my office with all that evidence.

I knew you were going to be a problem.

It was you, the whole time.

But your voice.

There's an app for everything.

-Richard Bullock.
-We did a service with that one.

I've been after him for a long time

so thank you for giving me a reason
to take out that trash

but we are not here to talk about him.

We are here… [clicks tongue]
…to talk about you.

-What about me?
-Come on, Maddie,

you didn't go home last night

with the sneaking suspicion that something
wasn't quite right in how it all ended?

Did I really make
that man turn a gun on himself?

And the voices?
Something just doesn't quite fit.

I was just sick about all of it.

No, when I was sitting
in my office with Athena,

I saw the little wheels turning
in your head.

It was only a matter of time before you
expressed your concerns to someone.

Who did you tell? Athena?

-Did you call your husband?
-You took me from my home.

I didn't get the chance to talk to him.

-I don't believe you.
-I'm not lying.

Just like you said you didn't lie
about sending the police

when I called you for help?

-You're supposed to save those girls.
-I do save those girls.

Amber, you kill them.

[chuckles softly]

I… [chuckles] Using my first name.
I really love the tactic.

What are you gonna do to me?

-[phone buzzes]
-[sighs]

Oh. Athena Grant.

Looks like somebody noticed
that you went missing.

Probably wants me to help find you.

Amber, please.

[screams]

[Athena] Last time you spoke
to Maddie, how did she sound?

-Was there any indication that--
-No.

I thought that she sounded fine.

Maybe I was just too caught up
to even hear her.

Hey, you didn't do anything wrong.
We're gonna find her.

Sorry, it took me a second.
Um, is this Maddie's husband?

Yeah, hi, I'm Howard Han.
Uh, people call me Chimney.

-And…
-Bobby Nash. Her husband, his captain.

[Chim] So what more can we do?

My friends are out looking for her.
I checked all the hospitals.

Well, first things first,
why don't you finish filling out that form

so I can get it into the system?

-Did you bring a picture?
-Uh, yes. Digital, okay?

Absolutely. Just keep writing.

Okay.

Can I speak to you for a second?

-Of course.
-Okay.

[sobbing]

-Look, I have to ask, what do you think?
-About Maddie?

Last time I saw her was with you.

She didn't seem like a woman who would
suddenly pack up and then just disappear.

Come on. Come on.

[Amber] She was pretty upset.

[groans]

And what about the husband?
Can you vouch for him?

-Chimney?
-Mm-hmm.

[Athena] He's true blue.

He would never do anything to hurt Maddie,
plus he was with people all day.

And you did not speak to her
after our meeting yesterday?

The last time I saw her was with you.

Okay.

[sobbing]

[Chim] There's something
I haven't told you two,

something I probably should have put
on that form.

Maddie's pregnant.

Wow.

Okay.

All right, she's in the system.
APB's going out now.

-What?
-[Bobby] You should probably tell her.

[Chim sighs]

Maddie's pregnant.
Just passed her first trimester.

I'm guessing you didn't put that
on the form.

[Chim] It might explain things though.

After we had our first child,

Maddie suffered
from postpartum depression.

And it was… it was pretty bad.

How bad?

She drove down to the beach
intending to drown herself.

I see.

[Chim] But that was postpartum.

She's shown absolutely
no signs of depression

or anything out of the ordinary since.

Mr. Han, did… did your wife say anything
to you about the case

we've been working on together?

Yeah. I know that she was freaked out
but she told me that you got the guy.

Did she say anything about how we got him?

No.

He took his own life.
Maddie talked him into it.

What?

We have to take this into account.

She was under a very unique stress.

May I have a moment
to talk to Mr. Han alone?

Yeah.

-Chim, we'll meet you outside.
-All right. Thanks, guys.

God.

-Which beach?
-I'm sorry?

You said that she drove herself out
to the beach to drown herself last time.

Which one?

I want to send a cruiser out there
just in case.

Uh, Zuma, I think.

Mmm.

S-Something about this isn't right.

I would say almost nothing
is right about it.

Not just about Maddie running away,

about it happening on the same day
that she helps to stop a kidnapper.

That's just too big a coincidence.

Has she been drinking, Mr. Han?

With a baby on the way?
No, no, absolutely not.

Are you sure she wants this baby?

[sighs]

Yes. Yes.

The man's dead. He didn't kill himself
and then kidnap Maddie.

But what if he wasn't working alone?

-You suspect he had an accomplice?
-I didn't. Until now.

Don't say anything.
I don't want him to worry.

Hey. All set?

She gave me her card,
told me to try her any time, day or night.

I get the feeling she thinks
Maddie will be missing for a while.

Why don't we give you a ride home?

I feel like I should be doing more.

No, you are doing
exactly what you're supposed to.

You have one place to be right now,
and that's with your daughter.

[panting] Okay.

[door creaking]

[singsongy] Somebody's got
a bun in the oven.

What are you doing?

-Just getting a few things ready.
-You know, I'm not some homeless runaway.

My husband's not going to believe
that I just walked away.

-But you have before, Maddie, haven't you?
-Did he tell you that?

Actually, you did when I called you
the first time for help,

that you thought you were
a danger to your daughter.

You told me something true about yourself

and I think that's why
we felt we could trust you.

But then it was just lies.

Your husband confirmed
the details, all the details.

About how you nearly… [imitates slash]
I think he's afraid you might do it again.

I was suffering
from postpartum depression.

But I also hear that
prenatal depression can be really bad,

especially for someone
like you with your history.

What is that?

Fentanyl.

It'll be painless,
just like falling asleep.

Wait. Amber.

-Wait.
-For what?

My daughter.

Please, let me say goodbye.

You do realize where you are, right?

-I mean, you know, like get a phone call?
-It's not a call, a note.

Please, I need to explain some of this.
I need to… [sobs, sniffles]

I need to tell her that her mommy did
not walk away because of her this time.

-Like a suicide note?
-Yeah. [sniffles]

Please.

That could be good
for both of us actually.

I'll get you a pen and paper.

[door opens, closes]

Hey. Silver SUV.

Oh. Uh, no, that-that's not her.

This is pointless.
She's not walking around.

She took her car.

Whatever's going on with her,
this is way worse than last time.

Last time she let me know she was leaving.

She made sure Jee was safe.
She dropped her at the firehouse.

I don't know what's going on.

Everything felt like it was finally
getting back to the way it should be.

Gerrard was out as captain
and Bobby was back in and…

And then Tommy dumps me

and now Maddie is missing or she's
run away, lost her mind, whatever this is,

and-and you, you're just moving
back to Texas like it's nothing,

it doesn't affect anybody else. It does.

It's not nothing.

No… [stammers] …I know it's not nothing.
I didn't mean--

Hey. We've been up all night.
You don't need to say anything.

Yeah.

I got to get some gas and some coffee.

Yeah.

[Karen] Hurry! Hurry! Time's almost up!

-[Mara] Come on, come on.
-[Denny] Game!

-Hey, Chim.
-Hey everybody.

Hi, Daddy.

Can we play again?

Hey, listen,
why don't you kids start a new round

-and the adults will talk.
-[Mara] All right.

-Jee. We're gonna beat you this time.
-Yeah.

No way.

Chim, uh, I hope you don't mind
I brought the kids.

Thank you for doing that
for Jee. And for me.

We're family.

So, how did it go with the detective?

She was very kind, listened patiently
to everything I had to say.

Good.

And she weighed
all the available evidence,

including some things I didn't even know
about Maddie's last call.

And?

And she came to the informed conclusion
that Maddie ran away.

Rick, thanks for arranging this.

Hey, when Athena Grant calls,
I come running.

Oh, yeah, well,
anybody else know we're doing this?

Just the ME, but don't worry,
I'm keeping this between us.

I appreciate that because I am
really going out on a skinny branch here.

I have to admit I was surprised
you wanted to review the autopsy.

The guy shot himself on the air
with 9-1-1. Seemed pretty open, shut.

Yeah, maybe a little too open, shut.

I just want to make sure he's the one
who actually pulled the trigger.

[Luann] Well, his finger
was definitely on the trigger.

He has gunshot residue
all over his right hand and temple.

So he did shoot himself.

-I didn't say that.
-Didn't you?

I said his finger was on the trigger

but he had a healthy amount
of trichloromethane in the system.

Chloroform.

Well, we believe that he used chloroform
to incapacitate his victims.

-Could that account for it?
-Not at these levels.

My guess
is he was chloroformed repeatedly.

[Athena] So he was drugged,

somebody put a gun in his hand
and then manipulated his trigger finger?

I don't put the puzzle together, Sergeant.

I only provide the pieces.

Somebody kept him alive long enough for
him to be a fresh kill when we got there.

And that somebody is still out there.

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

Hey, Jayna. Sorry to wake you.

-No, it's-it's okay.
-This is Detective Romero.

-Hi.
-Is it all right if we come in?

Of course.

-How are you feeling?
-Better.

The doctor said I might even be able
to get discharged soon

if my mom can pick me up.

-Is she coming down from Bakersfield?
-She's trying to get a ride.

Jayna, we want to ask you a few questions
about your captivity.

I don't remember much.

Do you remember anything
about being abducted?

I remember being at the bus station.

I went into the bathroom and when I came
out of the stall, I guess he was waiting.

He came up behind me,
put a rag over my face.

It was wet.

It smelled like chemicals.

Chloroform.

I don't remember a lot after that.

And… he never…

No. He never touched me.

Jayna. When he took you, do you remember
seeing anyone else with him?

You mean the woman?

-You saw a woman?
-I mean, no, not exactly, but…

There was a woman.

At first I thought
she might be another victim like me.

She was crying.

What makes you think
that she wasn't a victim?

Because they were,
like, fighting, arguing,

and she sounded older.

Are you finished?

You really love her, don't you?

I do.

[voice softens] If my mother loved me
half as much as you love her,

maybe we wouldn't be here right now.

[in normal voice] All right, it's time.

[stammers] Amber.

No more talking.

Please don't do this to my daughter, okay?
I'm begging.

-Amber.
-[Amber sobs]

Please, Amber,
please don't make me do this.

[Amber continues sobbing]

If you don't do it, I will.

[voice softens]
Please don't take this personally.

[whimpers]

John?

We talked on the phone, remember?

[sobbing]

My real name isn't John.

Okay, what's your real name?

My name is Peter. [whimpers]

Hi, Peter.
It's nice to meet you in person.

[cries] It's nice to meet you too.

I'm really…

I'm really sorry that I have to do this.

So don't.

No, she makes me do it because

she's a coward.

So then you need to fight her.

I try.

[stammers] I know that you do.

She always wins, she always wins.

-So then don't let her, okay?
-[screams]

That's why I'm here.
I'm-I'm here and I'm glad to be here.

You're glad to be here?

Yeah, yes, that I can help you because
that's… that's why you called me, right?

Yeah, but you didn't help me.

You wanted me to kill myself.

No, I know, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.

I didn't understand.

Okay? Now I understand.

So… So can you just
give me another chance?

Please just give me one more chance.
[breathing shakily]

Well…

If I thought you could.

So let me try.

Please.

We'll see.

I'm still at this number.
I will leave my phone on.

Still nothing?

That's the third message
I've left for her.

Who do you call when your missing persons
detective goes missing?

-[sighs]
-You wanna wait a little longer?

No, I don't think this can wait.

So what's going on?
Why'd they bring me down here?

We have some questions for you, is all.

-Did you find him, Richard?
-Yeah, we found him.

And the girl, the one you thought he took,
was she with him?

-She was with him.
-Is she okay?

Yeah, she's alive.

Well, that's great.

Aren't you gonna ask about your boyfriend?

Ex-boyfriend.

-Ex everything as it happens?
-What does that mean?

Richard's dead.

Wow, okay.

You don't seem too broken up about it.

What do you want me to say?
The guy was a creep.

A creep that you were with
for how many years?

It was complicated.

[Lucas] I'll bet.

How many of those girls
did you procure for him, Isabelle?

What?

Were you in on it from the beginning?

Maybe forced you to participate.

Maybe you hated it.
Maybe you didn't see any other way out.

Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Whatever Richard was
sleazing around doing,

I didn't know anything about it.

We know that Richard was working
with a female, Isabelle.

The last girl, Jayna Whitlock,

was abducted
from a ladies' room at Union Station.

Richard would have been a little too
conspicuous to go in there, but not you.

That's crazy. I cooperated.

You wouldn't have found him
if I didn't tell you where he was.

Except that's not where we found him.

He wasn't at the trailer.

-Somebody warned him.
-Well, it wasn't me.

-No, you killed him.
-What?

This is what Richard looked like
when we found him.

It looks like he killed himself.

Except he didn't. He was drugged.

Somebody else pulled the trigger.

Somebody wanted it to look like a suicide.

-This was last night?
-Mm-hmm.

Okay, that proves
that it couldn't have been me

because I was at the Fairway Casino

playing blackjack all night, and
I'm probably on about a hundred cameras.

You know, they have
a lot of cameras there.

People cheat.

Her alibi checks out.

That's her earning blackjack
at 9:30 last night.

I spoke to the casino's head of security.
She was there till three in the morning.

All right, let's kick her loose.

I really thought we were
on to something with that theory.

We still might be.

Maybe Isabelle Tanev wasn't
the only woman in Richard Bullock's life.

[TV presenter] Okay, now
we're gonna take this fat off.

We're gonna get right
into those ribs that you just saw.

Hello, Jayna.

Uh, hi.

You don't remember me,

but I was there
the night that we found you.

My name's Amber Braeburn.

I'm the missing persons detective
who was in charge of finding you.

Thank you.

You all saved my life.

I've got good news.

I spoke to the doctors.

You're being discharged.

-But my mom's not here.
-It's okay.

I'll take you to her.
She can't wait to see you.

These are
the Weepy Caller's known victims.

Jayna Whitlock, whom he rescued,

Holly Martinez, whose body was found
in 2015 in Griffith Park

and Angie Bixby, 2022 in Portland.

-Hmm.
-[sighs]

I'm guessing that Bullock
and his unknown companion

took more than three girls over ten years.

Agreed.

What? What are you thinking?

Well, I'm thinking that if we could maybe
identify a few more potential victims,

that maybe a lead might shake out.

We need to go through the case logs.

We need to find any kidnappings
over the past 20 years of runaways,

aged 14 to 20,
where the perpetrator used chloroform.

Bonus points, if the suspect called 911.

[chattering on radio]

[Karen grunts]

Another cup?

I don't think my kidneys would survive it.

You guys should go home.
It's a school night.

They should be in their own beds,

and I should put Jee to sleep.

Thank you. Thank you.

We'll sleep.

[sighs]

-[sighs]
-[knocks on door]

Hey, did you forget something?

Oh, no, we were loading them in the car
and Mara… Mara, tell him what you told me.

Jee said her mom was talking to someone
who was crying last night

after she went to bed.

There was someone else in the house.

-Holy smokes.
-You got something?

Fourteen-year-old female taken
outside of Union Station in 2000,

found two weeks later
wandering the streets

with near-lethal amounts
of trichloromethane in her system

after she called 911.

So she escaped.

Yeah, looks like it.

Maybe she can identify her attacker.

-Yep.
-All right. What's her name?

-It doesn't say.
-We need to speak with her right away.

It's been redacted probably
'cause she was a minor.

Well, who's the investigating detective?
Maybe we can contact him.

Detective Bruce Strazzio.

Died five years ago. Damn it.

You said she called 911?

Yeah, but it doesn't provide
the transcript.

Maybe we can get that on our own.

We hit up every desk agent
at LAX, Burbank, and Union Station.

No one seen Maddie.

I already called her office line.
I need you to pass me through to her cell.

All right, what's going on?

He's trying to reach
that missing persons detective.

Did something happen?

Well, we think somebody was in the house
when Maddie disappeared.

Jee-Yun said
that she heard someone crying.

-Could someone not Maddie?
-Yeah.

Have Detective Braeburn call me as soon
as possible. My name is Howard Han.

It's about a case. She'll know.

They said her cell went straight
to voice mail.

It is getting late.

Well, this can't wait.

June 16th, 2000.

Well, according to the log,
it would have come in from downtown

sometime around 7:30 p.m.

Well, that's a deep hole.
Do you know who made it?

No. The whole reason we wanna listen is
to figure out who the caller is.

Copy that.

Uh… No, nothing from 7:30 p.m.

Oh. Call from Temple Street at 7:17.

[operator] 911. What's your emergency?

[victim] Oh, God, please come get me
before he kills me.

[operator] It's okay. Honey, I need
to know where you're calling from.

[victim] I'm calling from a pay phone.

I-I hurt him really bad,
but I still think he might be after me.

[operator] Who might be after you?

[victim] The man who took me.

He put a rag over my face
outside Union Station.

He kept me in his house.

[stammers] I don't know
how long he drugged me for.

[operator] I need you
to tell me your name.

My name's Amber, Amber Braeburn.
I ran away from home.

Detective Amber Braeburn was
a kidnapping victim herself?

And a runaway.

You think she was working with Bullock?

[sighs]
I think that Bullock was her patsy.

She handed him to us
on a silver platter from the start.

Josh, I need you to pull up her address.

I already did.

Chimney called me for her address
five minutes before you walked in.

[panting]

[grunts]

Come on.

"The victim, a minor whose identity
is being withheld slashed

her captor with a broken bottle
to get away.

They believe he tortured his victims in
a private dungeon he built in his home."

Oh, my God.

[PIN pad beeps]

[whimpering]

I'm back.

Jayna,

say hello to Maddie.

Amber, what are you doing?

Just what you asked me to do.

Giving you a chance.

-Go ahead. Talk me out of it.
-[Jayna breathing shakily]

I know who you are.

I know you escaped once.

I know what happened to you.
I know what he did to you.

-You have no idea what he did to me.
-Yes, I do.

I was a prisoner once too,
and I did whatever it took to survive.

-We both did.
-[crying]

I'm a monster.

Amber, you're sick.
That is not your fault.

[groans]

Okay? You fought him once,
fight him for her.

Fight him!

You have to fight him.

I'm sorry.

-[Jayna cries]
-[door buzzes]

[Amber] Son of a bitch!

[Amber panting]

Amber, please.

[door buzzes]

[Jayna whimpers]

[muffled screams]

-Yeah. Yeah. It's okay.
-[door buzzing]

[sighs] Well,
I'll have to get back to this later.

What are you gonna do?

I gotta get rid of your husband.

[screams]

Screw it.

[door buzzing]

Mr. Han?

I'm so sorry to show up
on your doorstep like this.

-I've been trying to reach you all night.
-Oh, no, it's okay.

I'm sorry. I was downstairs working.

Reception sucks down there. Come in.

Thank you.

[sighs]

So, what's going on, Mr. Han?

Maddie didn't leave on her own.
I think she was taken.

What makes you say that?

Our daughter, she said
that someone else was in the house.

I… Let me get you some water.

And what did your daughter say
that she heard?

Somebody crying. Someone not my wife.

Crying?

Look, I know this sounds strange.

No, maybe not. Let me get you some water.

Let's go downstairs.
I'll take an official statement.

-[phone buzzes]
-You know, no stone unturned.

Okay, it's Athena.

Hey, Athena, did you find her?

Chimney, answer me. Yes or no.

Are you with Detective Braeburn right now?

Yes.

Okay, listen to me.

It's very important
that you keep your voice calm, okay?

Yeah, for sure.

We think she's the one who took Maddie.

What?

We think she might be
a damn serial killer.

No kidding.

I need you to get the hell out of there.
Make any excuse.

We're on our way right now.

I'm sorry, I can't tonight.

Thanks for asking.

[sighs]

Athena figured it out?

Where's my wife?

Where is Maddie?

-Maddie!
-Sorry, you just missed her.

[choking]

Maddie. Oh, my God, Maddie.
No, no, no, no.

No.

Maddie. Maddie, keep it…
No, no, no. Hey, hey, hey!

Keep your eyes open for me, baby.
Keep your eyes open.

Siri, call 911.

Stay with me. Eyes open.

[operator] 911. What's your emergency?

I need an ACLS ambulance
at a level one trauma.

Address is 6374 Morley Road.

My wife's throat has been slashed.

Please focus on me. Focus on me, okay?

Yeah, right here. Keep your eyes on me.

All right? I'm right here, baby.

Right here, that's right. I'm right here.

[♪ "Bloodless" playing]

She's secure. Come here now.

Get that backboard in here!

Maddie, stay with me. Stay with me.

[Chimney, distorted] Help is here,
Maddie. You hear me? You're gonna be okay.

♪ They're profiting from your worry ♪

♪ They're selling blanks down at the DMZ ♪

♪ They're banking on the sound and fury ♪

♪ Makes you wonder
What it all's got to do with me ♪

♪ Bloodless for now ♪

Thanks.

Hey, you don't have to be here.

What are you talking about?

You already done so much.
I can call you if anything happens.

You should be with your family.

What makes you think I'm not?

Mr. Han?

Hey.

Chim…

[shushes]

Everything's gonna be okay.

[whispers] The baby?

The doctors told me he's just fine.

-It's… It's a boy?
-Yeah.

It's what they told me.

[music continues]

[Eddie] Hey, thanks for helping me
finish packing.

Chris is gonna be psyched
you found his favorite shirt.

He's been looking for it
ever since he got to El Paso.

Well, you make sure he knows
I'm the one who found it.

Credit where credit's due.

Thanks for helping me get back to him.

[music ends]

Yeah, of course. Don't sweat it.

I know this whole thing between us
has been messy and hard,

and both of us could have handled it
a little bit better.

But I hope you know you do matter to me.

I know.

[grunts]

Chris and I are always a phone call
or FaceTime away.

Well… [sighs]

Well, uh…

Oh! I-I baked you something.

Um…

Chocolate chip protein cookies.

They should give you enough energy
for the drive with no sugar crash.

It's really thoughtful of you. Thank you.

Hey, you make sure
you save a couple for Chris.

Oh, man, I'm gonna miss you.

Yeah, I'm… I'm gonna miss you too.

And you let me know
when you get there, okay?

I will.

Bye, Buck.

All right, you hit the road. [chuckles]

Get out of here.
