- [Preacher On Radio] - But the more I preach it

the more I know it's true.

And the more I let in on (mumbles),

the more I know it's the truth

(thrilling music)

Well come home safely.

(mumbles)

From you and I to ignite and sustain for the distance

our spiritual passion,

the first thing we need to taste...

(scissors cutting)

Our personal pattern.

Our personal simply.

(background chatter)

- This is a waste of time.

- Chief doesn't think so.

There's several influential people live here.

Apparently it's in the departments best interest

for us to be here.

Get on up there.

- Excuse me, I think we can get started now.

My understanding is that there is a concern for safety

in the neighborhood and we're here to talk about that,

help out in any way we can.

- Sir, it's not about safety, it's about one problem.

One person.

- We don't feel comfortable having our children play

outside, in our own neighborhood.

(background chatter)

- We've sent multiple complaints to the city

and they do nothing, and we're sick of the inaction.

Something ugly's gonna happen if you guys don't start

listening to us.

- We have not read any of these complaints,

but let's step back here for a minute.

My understanding is the concern is regarding a

gentleman in your neighborhood.

- He's not a gentlemen, he's a pervert.

Tell him what happened sweetie.

Stand up, yeah.

Just tell him what happened.

- So, like, two weeks ago, I woke up

in the middle of the night,

(thrilling music)

and I saw this light flashing back and forth in my room.

Maybe five or six times.

(thrilling music)

He was standing there, outside my window,

and it was really scary, and weird.

I woke up my parents, but when they came to look,

he was gone.

- Yeah, he's lucky I didn't find him out there.

- The same thing happened to Sarah.

She came into my room bawling about flashing lights

on her wall.

- What he did to my daughter in the park

was awful.

Tell them.

- I was so scared.

I was out for a jog.

I needed to fix my shoe.

There's only one bench and he was on it.

So I sat down as far away from him as I could.

He started saying these really gross things to me.

And I all wanted was for him to leave me alone.

(thrilling music)

- Forgive me for having to ask,

but did he touch you inappropriately?

- No, but it was like really close.

- Is that enough to arrest him?

- Anybody else see this?

- I'm not sure.

- How old are you?

- 19.

- I mean 19, that's gonna be tough, ya know

maybe disorderly but...

- Do we have to stand by and wait for something

serious to happen?

(background chatter)

- No, no.

We're on top of it.

May take some time but we'll talk to the man

and then we'll get back to you.

- Well you need to do something, or we will.

(background chatter)

(keys rattling)

- Travis.

Have something for you real quick.

- What's up?

- I have a new DT coming in this week,

on the chief's mentor initiative.

I'm assigning him to you.

- Ugh, come on Bill.

What about Hernandez.

- Hernandez is about to transfer.

This will be a good set up.

Take a little bit off your plate, lighten your load

a little bit.

- Look I like the pace I'm working at and I'm not

a babysitter you know that.

- Decisions been made.

- I swear if this guy calls me an old fart,

or an old man, I will put him down.

- You're gonna be fine.

The name is Kris Tanner.

- I'm serious.

- You're gonna thank me.

Be nice to have some youthful energy around ya.

- You better warn him.

Not kidding.

- [Bill] Good night!

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like I'm doing?

Need to make sure she's clean.

- This isn't going to build any trust in her.

You can't start, not this time.

- Long as she's living in this house,

she's gotta abide by our rules.

She's gotta be making progress.

She's gotta be doing something positive.

- Let's just give her time.

- No, there is no time.

She could leave at any moment.

She just goes off.

You wanna wait for that?

Have you even asked her if she's still using?

- I don't think she is.

- You don't think?

- Just be patient.

She's home.

She's with us.

It's a good thing.

- Okay. Okay.

- Thank you.

(sighs)

(background chatter)

- Hey, I need a favor.

- Sure, what's up?

- I need you to run that.

(phone ringing in background)

- Uh, it's not tagged.

- It's not evidence.

- Then what is it?

- It's a favor.

- So where am I supposed to file it after I...

- You don't.

Put it in the trash, bring me the analysis.

Thanks buddy.

- But.....

- Detective Travis?

- Yes.

- Hi, I'm Kris, well it's Kristie, but I go by Kris,

but you can call me either.

Sargent Tomlinson said to come find you in here.

I'm your new trainee.

- You're Kris Tanner?

- Yes, sir.

And let me say sir that it's an honor

to have the opportunity to train with somebody

so seasoned and experienced in our line of work.

- Seasoned?

Well I'm sure not as seasoned and aged as some may think.

- I completely understand.

Just know that I'm here to do whatever I can

to assist you.

Anything to make your life easier.

Anything, so, do not hold back.

- Oh, don't worry, I won't hold back.

- Perfect.

I'll go get my things and get settled.

So great to meet you.

- Definitely.

You knew about this didn't you.

Seasoned?

What am I a steak?

(sighs)

- How's your spaghetti?

- He wants me to quit, or retire.

That's the only explanation.

- That is silly.

- Ya know, he is afraid that I will take his job,

that's what it is.

Maybe I should just quit.

- I don't see why it matters that she's a girl.

- It doesn't.

I mean it shouldn't, it's just unusual in my profession.

- Sounds kinda sexist if you ask me.

- I am not sexist.

Just gonna be different.

- I think it's gonna be good for you,

and good for the city too.

I mean maybe she can teach you guys somethings.

- Ohhh (laughing)

Such as?

- Such as, how to use your intuition instead

of your intellect.

- Women are great with intuition.

- I agree with Mom on this one.

- That's just stupid.

(water running)

(dishes clattering)

(knocking)

- What do you want me to do when she opens....

- Nothing.

I'll tell you.

- Hi, Can I help you?

- Good afternoon ma'am, I'm detective Travis

with the East Bank PD.

This is Kris T. hoping I could ask you a couple

of questions.

- Yes, sir.

Is everything okay?

- It's about your neighbor across the street, Mr. Phelps.

- Billy.

- Yeah, you know him well?

- My husband and I talk to him quite often.

Is he in trouble?

- There have been some concerns from

the neighborhood about his behavior.

I'm just here on a wellness check

and find out exactly what's going on.

- Okay, well, Billy is different, obviously,

but I'm blessed every time that I get to talk to him.

I bet he's home right now.

If you want we can go over and...

- Well I tried his door yesterday, he didn't answer.

What was your name?

- Marisa.

(typing on tablet)

- Uh, Marisa, what's your last name?

- Turner.

- What else do you know about him?

- Well I can tell you that on Monday some teenagers

came through the neighborhood knocking over trashcans

but most of the neighbors never noticed

because Billy went up and down the street

picking up people's trash.

(rustling of trash)

- Sounds like a nice guy.

What about his personal life?

You know anything about that?

Does he live with anyone?

(sighs)

(car alarm beeping)

- Oh.

Hey babe, it's me, I locked my keys in my car again,

and my phone.

So just call this number back when you get the message.

Please.

I love you.

Okay thanks, bye.

- I brought you two.

My favorite is the cola, but I don't know

what your favorite is.

- Oh I'm not picky.

Thanks.

- I have some more soda pops if you want me to make

you another glass.

- No, that's not necessary, but thanks.

- We've lived nearby for so long, I'm glad

to finally meet you.

My husband and I haven't met many of the neighbors really.

- I can put two napkins under your glasses for you.

- One is fine thanks.

- You are my first neighbor friend I've made.

I live here alone.

- It's a beautiful home.

- A beautiful woman in a beautiful home.

- I don't know about that but you do a really

wonderful job taking care of it.

- Yeah, my mom and dad moved away.

This is my home now.

- They moved away and left you a house?

Wow, that is really nice.

Where'd they move to?

- They moved to Heaven.

- Oh, I am so sorry.

- I'm going to move there to someday.

Are you moving there?

- I plan on it.

So you believe in Jesus?

- Yes.

And I read the Bible three times every day

and I pray after each time.

- That's impressive.

I wish I did that.

- And I love people, all people, big and small.

- Me too.

Or at least I try.

- I can get you some more napkins for under your glasses

or another, some more soda pops.

- You've been a wonderful host, thank you.

I felt led to keep visiting him.

So I did and each time I learn more about

how he sees the world and how big his heart is

for other people.

- I see.

Are you concerned about your personal safety?

Being a woman alone in the home of a man

that's, well to use your words, different.

- You would think so, but my husband has spent

a lot of time with Billy, we've had him for dinner.

And to be honest, Billy cares way too much about

other people to ever harm anyone.

It's debilitating how much he cares for other people.

- Debilitating.

Hmm, how so?

- Well okay, like, one night our cat got out

and Billy went out looking for her and he couldn't find her.

So went the sun went down, he got a flashlight

and he searched all night.

(calm music)

- Kitty, hide and go seek is over.

- We didn't even realize he had done it until

our cat had already come home the next morning.

- Interesting.

How long ago was that?

- Maybe a couple of weeks.

- What about the young women in the neighborhood,

he ever talk about them?

- Okay, there was this incident at the park

that he was trying to explain to us.

- I don't know, I just like, never had to deal with

insurance before, it's so annoying.

- Well whatever you do, don't tell your dad, cause you know

he's like crazy.

- Tell me about it.

- Hey.

- What?

- You ever talked to that guy?

- On the bench?

- Yeah.

- No, why?

- He's so creepy.

- Every time he sees me, he asks if he can be my friend.

- Ew.

- Yeah. Uh-huh.

- He's never said a word to me.

- Maybe you're not his type.

- I'm every guys type.

Watch.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but could you help me with something?

- No thank you.

- It's fine I just, I think I have something that's

scratching me, but it's under my shirt

and I can't reach it, so I though maybe you could check.

- No thank you.

- Why won't you look at me?

You know it's actually, it's really rude

not to look at someone when they're talking to you.

You should be happy that someone like me

is even talking to you.

(sighs)

- I don't know who it was or why she was acting that way

but we didn't see him for days.

It really bothered him.

- Any chance he made the story up?

I mean just to get attention, something to talk about.

- There's no way.

Later he told us that he found a picture of her

so that he could put it on his prayer wall

so that he would remember to pray for her every night.

(papers rustling)

- Hmm.

Well Mrs. Turner thank you for your time.

I think we have enough.

- So Billy's not in trouble.

- No I think it's just a misunderstanding.

Have a great day.

Oh, one more question.

Yesterday I saw you delivering a bag to his door,

what was in that?

- Papers for him to shred.

The business owners at the church,

they pay him to shred documents

so that he has a job of sorts.

- Got it.

Thank you.

(footsteps)

- What are you thinking?

- I'm thinking he's not the problem.

(footsteps)

- We're ready for you guys to come back now.

(footsteps)

- Hi.

- Thank you, right this way.

(footsteps)

I got this one, all right.

- Oh, but I can relate to the daughter though.

I'll get her to talk.

- I just want you to watch it on the monitor.

- But I thought you said that...

- We both know the tough guys gonna be in this

and I don't want him leveraging you.

Okay.

No, that's it.

That's it!

(phone ringing)

Thank you for coming in today.

There have been some interesting new developments

regarding the situation in your neighborhood.

- Did you lock him up?

Cause I can point him out in a lineup right now.

If you need us to press charges we're more than happy

to do so, whatever you need, let's do it.

- Not exactly.

But I am interested in the time he was outside

your daughter's window.

- And what about it?

- You live in an affluent gated community, Mr. Martin.

And you happen to be the President of

the homeowners association.

- It's a great community.

And yes, I run our HOA.

- But Mr. Billy Phelps doesn't fit into that community,

does he?

Doesn't conform.

- What does that have to do with him being outside

my daughter's window.

- Oh you know, I looked into that, just like you asked.

Interviewed the neighbors, even the gentleman himself.

And it turns out that all the accusations against him

have gone away, every one of them.

Except the one right here.

- Are you insinuating my daughter fabricated her story?

You know maybe we need to get our attorney in here

before this goes any further.

- Maybe you should.

I can get the phone for you

and why don't you ask your attorney about discrimination

laws while you are at it.

I mean you are the President of the HOA after all.

- Dad, please.

- Fine.

Leave the guy alone.

Let him stay.

We're leaving.

Don't say we didn't warn you.

- Sorry.

(footsteps)

(calm music)

- Hey detective, the results came back

with the sample that you gave me.

Why did you have me run an analysis on sand, lint,

and acesulfame potassium?

- What is that?

- Artificial Sweetener.
