[CRYING CONTINUING]

Are you thinking of hurting yourself?

[DISTORTED] Every day.

I hate what I've become.

[SNIFFLES] I don't know,

- I don't know, I don't know.
- Alert Crisis Response.

I have a caller, says his name is John.

Probably not his real name.
He's considering self-harm.

Do you have his location?

Pinging his cell towers now.

I'll have an RA unit standing by.

John,

I want you to know
that I'm here for you, okay?

You're not alone.

I know. That's the problem.

I didn't want
to take her this time.

I wasn't going to, but
she looked so sweet, so lost.

- [GIRL WHIMPERING]
- Who is she?

[WEEPY CALLER]
She said her name was Jayna.

I'm afraid I'm going
to do something terrible.

[JAYNA SCREAMS]

This isn't a suicide, it's a kidnapping.

- What?
- He's got somebody else with him,

a possible minor named Jayna.
I can hear her

screaming through a gag.

[WEEPY CALLER] No. I think she's

a really good person.

- I got his location.
- Okay, keep him talking.

John, tell me about Jayna.

All units, code three.

Respond to 121 Blythe Avenue.

We have a possible
hostage situation.

Unknown male suspect, to be
considered armed and dangerous.

- [SIREN WAILING]
- 727-L-30 en route.

[WEEPY CALLER]
I thought I could save her,

but they don't want to be saved.

They don't, do they, Maddie?

Everybody wants to be saved.

I think that you do, too,
and that's why you called me.

I know I'm never
going to make it to heaven,

but maybe I should
send her there.

Okay, just stay with me.

Listen to the sound of my voice.

Okay? I'm here with you.

We're gonna get through this.

You, me and Jayna.

I know you're tracing this call.

- I'm not.
- You're lying.

The police are coming.

- I know they are.
- No.

The police go to where I tell them to,

and...

if you let Jayna go,

I will make sure they never find you.

I don't believe you.
You think I'm a monster.

No. I don't.

I understand you.

How could you?

Because I know what it's like...

to want nothing more
than to keep a child safe...

but knowing that it was me
who was the danger.

What did you do?

I ran.

I ran away from everything.

So that's what I'm telling you
to do now, okay?

727-L-30, how close are you?

[SIREN WAILING]

- Three blocks out. Killing my sirens.
- [SIRENS STOP]

Just run.

Run away and I will make sure

that the police never find you.

I wasn't a monster.

Neither are you.

- What about Jayna?
- I'll take care of her.

I promise.

And you won't send
the police after me?

I gave you my word.

Uh, dispatch,

there's nobody here.

You're sure you're at 121 Blythe Ave?

I'm sure.

Did you search the location?

There's nothing to search.

It's a vacant lot.

[WEEPY CALLER] You lied to me.

You said you wouldn't
send the police. You lied.

- He's watching them.
- PD, be advised,

suspect may have eyes on you.

[WEEPY CALLER]
You were wrong, Maddie.

I am a monster.

Hey, John, please, please listen to me.

No. I'm done listening.

[HANGS UP]

[DIAL TONE]

It's creepy, right?
I mean, it's one thing to get

a friend request from your old
boss, that's fine, but Gerrard?

Every picture on his profile

he's holding up a fish he caught.

Check this out.

Wait, he requested you, too?

[EDDIE] Ten miles
from my parents' house.

Prime zip code in El Paso.
What do you think?

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.]

Uh, it's-it's kind of run down,
isn't it?

It's all I can afford.

Well, may-maybe you should
keep on looking.

It's a fixer-upper. I'll fix it up.

I don't know. Renovation is a gamble.

I binged Property Brothers.

People always run into problems
with the subflooring.

I already put a down payment.

W-Wait, so this-this is
really happening.

Well, yeah. Of course.

Uh, did you talk to Cap yet?

No. And...

please, do not say a thing to anyone.

Okay? I want to get my ducks in a row

- before I give him my notice.
- I mean,

this is a pretty big duck.
What else is there?

I already signed a new
one-year lease on my place here.

If I don't find someone to sublet,

I'll be bleeding cash, which is what

I'm gonna have to live with
because I do not

want to be parenting on FaceTime.

I need to be there.

So-so, we get your place sublet.

It can't be that hard.

I can help.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

You know, we-we get
this deal done together.

One-two punch,
like the Property Brothers.

Yeah.

Thanks, man.

Ugh. I do not know
what I'm gonna do without you.

Dispatch, building is well-involved

on the Bravo-Charlie side.

Requesting additional RA
task force and Animal Services.

I got 28 still inside.

Buck, Eddie, search and rescue.
Grab the rotary saw.

[ALARM BLARING]

Dogs are in two rooms.

Once you reach the main kennel,
head down the hall

- to the quarantine room.
- [EDDIE] Copy that.

[BUCK] Hey, hey, I got one right here.

Okay, buddy.

Here you go, I got you, I got you.

Yeah, we're in. [GRUNTS]

[EDDIE] Come here, big guy.

There we go.

I got you.

Right over here.

[CHIMNEY] Come on, buddy. There we go.

Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy.

[BUCK] Hey, hey.

It's okay, buddy. I got you.

It's o... Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey!

- We got a runner.
- Buck!

[BUCK] Hey, hey, buddy. Hey,
hey, come on, where you going?

No, no, no, no! Come on, come on.

Here, boy. Come on.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

- You seeing any smoke inhalation?
- I see wagging tails.

I set up blow-by oxygen,

but I think you
pulled 'em all out in time.

Where's Buck?

Went after a stray.

There you are.

Come on, buddy. You're okay.

[WOOD CREAKING]

[BOBBY] Buck, what's
the status in there?

The roof's going!

Then you should be, too.

Okay.

[GRUNTING]

[DOG WHIMPERING]

See?

I'm just a regular guy.

Buck, do you copy?

Come on, Buck.

Here he comes.

You good?

Yeah. Yeah.

Gave us a scare, boy.

Sorry, guys.

She was talking to the dog.

Thank you so much.
We'll take him from here.

Okay, buddy, you're gonna
go with them now, okay? [GRUNTS]

Good boy.

- All right.
- [WHIMPERING]

- Hey, where's he going?
- El Segundo.

Our sister shelter's
pitching in, time being.

- W... Uh, a-and then what?
- Same as usual.

Pray he finds a home.

[WHIMPERING]

[SIGHS] Thank you for arranging
this, especially because

I know what I'm about to say
in there might sound crazy.

Well, the one thing
cops are used to hearing

- is crazy.
- [CHUCKLES]

So, tell me about this
missing persons detective.

Oh, Detective Amber Braeburn.

I only know her by reputation,
but she's a bloodhound.

Tough, blunt
and she doesn't suffer fools.

Okay, you're not making me less nervous.

Oh, no, we're in great hands.

She has found more
missing kids than anyone

in the past 15 years,

and she was the first one
in her department

to put her hand up when I said

that this might be more than a hoax.

- Sergeant Grant.
- Oh, Detective Braeburn.

Amber. I've heard the legend
of Athena Grant for years.

It's an honor to finally meet you.

Likewise. And this is Maddie Han,

the dispatcher who took the call.

Then it's an honor to meet you, too.

[CHUCKLES] You are very good
at what you do.

- Oh, you listened to the call?
- On repeat.

The way you connected
with the kidnapper,

gained his trust... masterful.

Gained it and then lost it.

I made one very big mistake.

I lied to him.

[MAN] You listen to me.
I've traced your phone

and dispatched police
to your address.

If you touch that girl, I swear,
you will pay the price.

[WEEPY CALLER]
I knew you couldn't help me.

That you'd judge me.
There's no point.

I'm sorry, Holly. I'm so sor...

And you're positive
that's the same voice?

I have no doubts at all.

Except that call came into
L.A. dispatch ten years ago.

The police responded to the
address and it was abandoned.

Holly Martinez.

She was found five days later

in Griffith Park.

I remember. Near the merry-go-round.

No signs of S.A. or torture,
just killed and dumped.

Two calls in ten years. I mean,

if he is what we're all thinking he is,

that's, uh, a pretty long
cooling off period.

Yeah, I had that thought, too,
so I checked a Reddit page

for dispatchers,
asked if anyone had ever had

a similar call from a weepy voice.

And?

A dispatcher in Portland.

Three years ago, from a spoofed number.

Said he kidnapped someone named Angie.

Angie Bixby was found

dumped in the woods one week later.

A week after he placed the 911 call.

I don't think he wants
to be doing what he's doing.

Or, at least, some part of him doesn't.

Maybe that's why he keeps them
around so long.

He's trying not to kill them.

So you think Jayna could still be alive?

I have to believe that.

No Jaynas have been reported
missing locally.

Not locally.

Jayna Whitlock
was last seen at a bus stop

in Bakersfield nine days ago.

You're gonna put me out of a job.

No. It can't be this easy.

What?

[SIGHS]

Richard Bullock.

[DRAWER OPENS]

Frequent flier
and registered sex offender.

He lives at a transient hotel

right by the downtown bus station.

Now, I've connected him

to three other runaways
who have gone missing.

And the hotel was the last known
address for all of them.

I have been after this guy
for a long time.

I don't know. [SCOFFS]

Maybe I just want it to be him.

Well, it sounds like we may need

to haul his ass in for questioning.

I agree. Unfortunately, I can't.

Wait... Why not?

[SIGHS] Because I've gone after
this guy so many times

and come up empty-handed,

he filed a complaint against me
with the city.

Now I can no longer go near him without

hard evidence
or it's considered harassment.

Someone else is gonna
have to talk to him.

Well, I've never been above
a little harassment.

[SIGHS] All right, what do you think?

Uh, looks flowery.

"Take over my lease" flowery or

"sorry your mom died" flowery?

- First one.
- [DOORBELL RINGS]

Okay.

- Hey, here we go. You got this.
- Here we go.

- [EDDIE] Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm Eddie.
- Kayla.

So, water and Internet are included?

Plenty of driveway parking, too.

- Yeah, for if you have any friends over.
- That won't be necessary.

- No car?
- No friends.

I love that arched doorway.

There's even room for the piano, hon.

- You play?
- She does. I just listen.

Just don't put it in that corner.

Uh, floor is a little squishy.

[MILLIE] Well, it's all
about the community for us.

[EDDIE] Yeah, totally.

Uh, there's plenty of kids

- his age around here.
- [MILLIE] Oh.

Top elementary school
just down the street.

And there's a playground
within walking distance.

Yeah. We're in a big
monkey bars phase right now.

What?! Me too, dude.

Okay.

How's the kitchen?

Oh, the kitchen. It's, uh, this way.

- You're gonna love it.
- Yup. Great natural light.

Uh, not a chef's kitchen,

that's for sure,
but it will get the job done.

What-what did you say you do for work?

I'm a chef.

[KAYLA] I like that it's
a straight shot to LAX.

I travel a lot for work.

[BUCK] Oh, that-that's
great. You know, if we listen

right now, we might even hear
a plane overhead.

Wait, it's on the flight path?

Not on it.

- Under it.
- [MILLIE] So, are you

friendly with your neighbors?

I know almost all of them.

Or, at least, you-you thought

you did, right? [CHUCKLES]

Wait, what does that mean?

[EDDIE] Yeah, there was
just this one neighbor, Jim.

But he lived at the very end
of the street, so...

O-Okay, so get this. We respond
to a fire at this guy's house.

We're firefighters.

The guy is running a meth lab
out of his garage.

He's head of the
neighborhood association.

- How crazy is that, right?
- Very.

I don't think this is gonna work.

Say bye. I know. Come on, Teddy.

- [EDDIE] If it helps, I can-I can repaint.
- [MILLIE] Oh, no, it doesn't.

All right, let's go.

- [EDDIE] All right. Thank you.
- [MILLIE] Okay, bye.

- for... I mean...
- Man,

I-I really thought we had her.

What are you doing?

What, uh, what do you mean?

You've been sabotaging
every one of the showings.

S-Sabotage?

Meth Lab Jim?

Oh, come on, it's-it's a fun story.

It shows the neighborhood has character.

- [SIGHS]
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]

It's about to have one less.
You're leaving.

What? No, come on. I'm gonna help.

Nah, just go, please.

I can handle this myself.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

[DOOR OPENS]

[EDDIE] Hey. Come on in.

[NICK] Hi there.

I'm Nick. This is my wife Kelly.

[EDDIE] Welcome.

- [NICK] So what's wrong with it?
- [EDDIE] Wrong?

[KELLY] Oh, I think what
my husband meant was

it's such a great house,
why would you want to sublet it?

[EDDIE] I'm moving to Texas.

[NICK] Job opportunity?

[EDDIE] Uh, family. [CHUCKLES]

Los Angeles was actually
the job opportunity.

Uh, but no ties here.

Everything that matters is in Texas.

Here, let me show you guys
to the kitchen.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER P.A.]

Yeah, you're so cute.

Hey, I know that pooch.

[BARKS]

Oh, still smells like smoke.

What's he doing here?

Buck rescued him.

- I know. I was there.
- No, from the shelter. [LAUGHS]

[EDDIE] You adopted him?

- Buck is now a proud dog daddy.
- Really?

- Uh, yeah. You sound surprised.
- [EDDIE] No. You just...

you didn't mention
you were thinking about it.

What, I have to run
everything by you now?

[BOBBY] Well, you could've run it by me.

Especially if you're gonna
be bringing him in here.

Aw, come on, Cap, look at him.
Plus, every firehouse

- needs a dog.
- [BOBBY] Yeah, if that were

a Dalmatian and this were
the early-1900s, maybe.

Why did firehouses all have Dalmatians?

They calmed the horses
that pulled the rigs.

- Well, then this dog will calm Buck.
- Exactly.

This is my new best friend.
Isn't that right, Blaze?

- Isn't that right?
- Blaze?

Yeah, Blaze.

On account of how we met.

[BUCK] A-And, cap, I
won't bring him every day.

I just don't want
to leave him alone right now.

Don't want him to think
I'm an abandoner.

I thought your landlord
didn't allow you pets.

- He doesn't.
- Well, isn't that gonna be a problem?

If it is, I'll move.

You're gonna move? For a dog?

Yes, Eddie. I'll move.

Okay.

You're not the only one
who can do that, you know.

Okay, are we missing something here?

You're moving?

Yeah. I... wasn't really ready

to say anything yet, but

now's a good a time as any, I guess.

Cap, I need to put in my notice.

- Wh-What?
- No.

I'm moving back to Texas.

The only reason Christopher's
there is because of me.

And he's thriving.

I don't want to just yank him
out of that environment.

I need to be there to raise my son.

Of course you do.

[CHIMNEY] Yeah.

It's the right move. I understand.

You're a good father, and
we are all gonna miss you here.

[HEN] We are.

- [CHIMNEY] Yeah.
- Thanks. Oh, and it's

more like three weeks rather than two.

I still need to sublet my place here.

Whatever you need.

[SIGHS] Okay, this feels
like a weight off of me.

Thanks, Buck.

- [CAR ALARM BLARING IN DISTANCE]
- ["HEART EMOJI" BY HUNNIT PLAYING]

Richard Bullock, you in there?

[BANGS ON DOOR]

Richard, open up. LAPD.

[ISABELLE]
Richie don't live here no more.

You know where he is now?

I hope he's rotting in hell,
and you can go there, too.

- Go away! I don't talk to pigs!
- [LAUGHS]

What if I could give you something

that you really wanted?

[LAUGHS] Like what?

Payback.

Come in.

Can I get you a coffee, Officer?

As long as you don't poison it.
And Athena's fine.

I'm Isabelle.

[ATHENA] So how long's he been gone?

[ISABELLE] Richie?

Ugh... I kicked him out

almost two weeks ago.

What happened?

I caught him hitting on some
girls that were hanging out

down the hallway,
and they looked about 15,

so that was the final straw.

When's the last time you heard from him?

Uh... He called crying
a couple times over the weekend,

crying, begging me to take him back.

- But I blocked his ass.
- Thank you.

Crying?

Oh, yeah. Full-on sobs
like a little bitch.

Used to make me feel sorry for him,

and now I just think it's pathetic.

You have any of that on voicemail?

What's this about, Athena?

Do you recognize this girl?

Maybe you've seen her around the motel?

[SIGHS] No. Maybe? I don't know.

I mean, so many kids come in and
out of here, and I work nights.

You think that perv took up
with this sweet-looking girl?

I think he may have done
worse than that.

She disappeared ten days ago.

What, you think he kidnapped her?

Worse?

We need to find him, Isabelle.

So, if you know where he is,

I need you to tell me right now.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Moving in, Dispatch.

Got any RAs standing by?

Two on Branford Street. If you
need more, you let me know.

Let's hope I don't need to.

- Breach, breach.
- Move, move.

- Go, go, go.
- Police!

[ATHENA] LAPD! Richard
Bullock, show yourself.

[OFFICER] LAPD!

Clear. Hold.

Clear.

[OFFICER] Get behind.

[OFFICER] Clear.

Looks like he was in a hurry.

Check it out.

Didn't finish his lunch.
He forgot his meds.

[PILLS RATTLE]

Maybe the ex-girlfriend
tipped him off we were coming?

Maybe. [SIGHS]

I got something!

Blood.

Jayna's blood.

It's her wallet.

Dispatch, let everybody know
that the scene is secure.

Officers are safe.

Bullock got away.

And it looks like
he took Jayna with him.

_

[WEEPY CALLER, SOBBING] Maddie?

Is that you?

- Yes.
- Oh, thank goodness.

- [WHISPERS] It's him.
- It took four tries.

[REGULAR VOLUME] I know
that your name is Richard.

I wanted you to know
I-I tried my best, Maddie.

I really tried.

I kept her alive
longer than the others.

Did you hurt her?

Not yet, but I don't think
I can wait any longer.

[CRYING]

Looks like his GPS is currently
at 1504 St. George.

Uh, single residence.

Foreclosed on a year ago.

Address is probably spoofed, but...

No, I'm sending everybody anyway.

All available units, code three.

1504 St. George, roll silent.

Richard, keep talking to me.

We got all the time in the world.

You think I'm going to
fall for that again?

I know you talked to Isabelle.

She's a drug addict.
You know that?

What lies did she tell you...

the same lies you told me?

Okay, how far is the closest
unit to that address?

Twelve minutes.
If it's even the right address.

That's a big if.

You're all she's got now, Maddie.

[WEEPY CALLER SOBBING]

[MADDIE] Richard?

You're sending the police,
aren't you?

Yes.

But we both know they're
not gonna find anything

- when they get there.
- They might find something.

Look, I-I'm not lying to you anymore.

I did before,
and I'm sorry if I hurt you.

You did.
And I called you for help.

I believed in you.

I showed you my pain
and you betrayed me.

And I never wanted to add to your pain.

All right? I only wanted to do
the same thing you wanted:

t-to save Jayna.

The last time that we spoke,

you said that you
didn't want to hurt her.

Did you know, that even
with your jugular cut,

it can take ten minutes
to bleed out

from having your throat slashed?

It's pretty awful.

I don't want her
to go through that.

No, of course you don't.

Can you imagine your daughter
going through that?

Jee-Yun?

No.

- No, I can't.
- I have a gun

this time.

It'll be quick, painless.

- [MUFFLED GRUNTING]
- Shh, shh.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Wait...

Hey, wait. Richard, listen to me.

What else am I supposed to do?

Look, y-you told me that you
wanted to find a way out of this.

That you wanted to make it stop,

and I-and I've been
thinking a lot about that.

I think I can help you make it stop.

How? I can't go to prison.

No, of course not.
I'm not talking about prison.

There's only one way
to end all the pain.

How?

You know how.

The answer is right there in your hand.

It'll be quick and painless.

Why would you tell me
to do something like that?

You said I wasn't a monster.

I don't think that you are,

I think a part of you is, but...

there's another side to you, a good man,

who doesn't want to hurt anybody,

and that's the...
that's the part that called me.

But it's a sin. If I do that,

I won't get into heaven.

God will understand.

You have to brave now, okay?
Y-You have to...

slay the monster.

Do it for Jayna.

For all the other girls
that will come after.

Quick and painless. Just like you said.

- I can't do it.
- You can do it, Richard.

No more tears.

Just peace.

[WEEPY CALLER SOBBING]

Slay the monster, Richard.

[GUNSHOT OVER PHONE]

Richard, are you there?

[SOFT CLATTERING]

Richard, say something!

Maddie.

Athena?

LAPD's on scene.

And Bullock?

He's down.

Looks self-inflicted.

What about Jayna?

I'll let you know.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks for the update.

They're still checking
Jayna out at the hospital,

but the doctors didn't find
any serious injuries.

Wow. So...

- Bullock never hurt her?
- Not physically, anyway.

Thank God for that.

[AMBER] The emotional
wounds will take time to heal from,

but she will.

[ATHENA] This is the
best-case scenario we could have

- hoped for, Maddie.
- Maybe.

I'm supposed to be a lifeline
for people on those calls.

Instead, I convinced him...

If I just kept him talking
for two more minutes,

you would have come through the door.

Except there was no reason
for you to think

that I'd be coming through that door.

He spoofed every other call.

- So why not this time?
- [AMBER] Maybe for the same reasons

that he kept calling 911.

He wanted to be stopped.

This was going to be
the end for him, either way.

I know he wasn't a good guy.

But the despair in his voice...
it was raw.

It was so real, and...

I'm not ever gonna get
his voice out of my head.

[PANTING]

Show her.

Um, we aren't sharing this
with the public, but

there's something you should see.

We found a waterproof pouch

in Richard Bullock's toilet tank
after the raid.

Inside it were trophies.

A school ID from Holly Martinez.

A driver's license
belonging to Angie Bixby.

The girl from Portland.

[AMBER] And we don't
know who the hair belonged to

or the key chain,

but we've got Forensics
working on it right now.

So, there were other victims.

You helped stop a monster, Maddie.

Because of you,

no lost child will ever have
to suffer at his hands again.

[ATHENA] Go home, Maddie.

Hug your little girl tight.

Pour yourself a nice, big Scotch.

Yeah, high five. Yeah.

Good boy, Blaze.
You got it, you take it.

Who knew you'd be so smart?

[EDDIE] Teaching him
everything you know?

Well, he knows how to stay.

Unlike some people.

You got something
you want to say to me, Buck?

- No. Not really.
- Ah.

So, you only like to speak up
when Cap's around.

Is that it?

You only like to speak up
behind my back.

I heard what you said
to those renters, Eddie.

Wh... [SIGHS]
What are you talking about?

"L.A. was the job opportunity.

"I don't have any ties here.

Everything that matters is in Texas."

- [SCOFFS SOFTLY]
- Your words, right?

Oh, my God.

You were spying on me.

I wasn't spying on you.

And you know what? I-It's all good.

I don't need you, either.

'Cause I got Blaze. Yes, I do.

Hey, hey! Blaze!

Blaze! Hey, hey, hey!

[YOUNG FATHER] Bingo, come here.

[GIRL] Bingo!

It's really you.

I missed you so much, boy.

I-I've been calling him Blaze.

That suits him, too.

He got spooked by our neighbor
popping off fireworks.

Squeezed out of the yard.

We see a lot of animals get separated

from their families due to fireworks.

[HEN] How did you know to find him here?

We've been checking pretty much
every shelter this side of town.

Including the one that burned down.

They recognized him, told us
which one he'd been transferred to,

but you beat us to the punch.

He's very lucky to have people
who love him so much.

We do.

Hey, would it be okay if, uh...

he said goodbye to him?

Sure.

Uh, thank you. Uh...

Uh, h-hey, boy. [CHUCKLES]

Guess this is it.

I-I know we didn't
have much time together,

but I will never forget you.

And you don't go running off

on your people anymore, okay? 'Cause...

you have no idea how hard it is on them.

[BELL RINGING]

Uh, sir, you...

- you need to clear out.
- Absolutely.

[BOBBY] Glad you got your dog back.

118, let's go.

[KNOCKING]

In a second.

[GRUNTS]

[EXHALES, SNIFFS]

Hey...

Now is not the time, okay?

I have an appointment to show
the house. Guy's gonna be here

- in a couple seconds, so I...
- Well, this'll just

take a minute, I promise.

Wow.

It really is always about you, isn't it?

L-Look, I know
that's what this seems like.

"Not what it seems like."
That's what you turn it into.

Every single time.

I was trying to be supportive, okay?

I-I really was.

And you succeeded, up to a point.

I didn't mean to out you in front of Cap

and everyone else.

Oh, you absolutely did.

You got mad, so you acted out
like you always do.

But you want to know something, Buck?

If you need to be pissed off at me

to make it easier for you,

- then be pissed off.
- I'm not pissed off.

- Oh, okay.
- No, hey, okay, I was.

[SIGHS] I don't know, man, I...

I guess I-I'm just...
I'm having more trouble

dealing with the idea of you
not being around than I...

I like to admit.

I don't like it any more than you do.

But if you're gonna make this about me

having to choose
between you or my son...

- you're gonna lose every time.
- No, come on,

of-of course, t-that's
not even a question.

[KNOCKING]

He's here.

- You should just go.
- I-I promise

not to sabotage this one.

Scout's honor.

His name is Freddy.

Okay, great. Freddy.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay.

Hey...

- [CHIMNEY] Hey-o!
- [HEN] Hey!

- What is happening right now?
- What is happening

- is we're taking you out.
- For what?

To celebrate. It's a going-away
dinner. It's a 118 tradition.

[CHIMNEY] Yeah, so,
put on your drinking shoes,

'cause we've got the best
designated driver in the business.

Reservation's in 20 minutes.
We got to hustle.

Look, guys, I'm sorry,
I can't right now.

I have a potential subletter
coming in a couple minutes.

- You still haven't told him?
- Told me what?

[BUCK] Well, uh, not to

make it all about me, but...

it's me.

I'm your renter.

I replied to your listing
using a fake name.

- You're Freddy?
- Yep.

I am Freddy Fakeman.

- Freddy Fakeman?
- Freddy Fakeman!

Hey, how'd you let
that one sneak by you?

It's more obvious
when you say it out loud, okay?

But what about your loft?

Eh, it's not my loft anymore.

Gave 'em my notice this morning.

And now you don't need to worry.

- You really did that for me?
- [BUCK] Yeah.

Yeah, you and Christopher.

I-I do have a couple conditions, though.

[CHUCKLES]

Let's hear 'em.

I'm gonna need you to look the other way

when it comes to my credit score.

- [CHUCKLES] Okay, what else?
- And, well,

I, uh, I might want to adopt another pet

- down the line.
- Yeah, well, you did

really bond with that dog
in about ten seconds.

It's kind of what I do.

Hey, man, I'm sorry
you had to give him back.

Oh, no. Hey, I'm not.

Listen, w-when Blaze
jumped into her arms,

I wasn't sad. I was happy.

'Cause he was going back
to where he belongs.

And that's why I'm happy for you.

'Cause you're going back
to where you belong.

With Christopher.

You two should just hug this out.

[SNIFFLES] Yeah.

[LAUGHING]

[BOBBY] All right, wheels up.

Eddie, don't forget your wallet.

Wait, why?

'Cause you're buying.

My own goodbye dinner?

- [LAUGHS]
- It's a 118 tradition.

[SIGHS]

- Let me get my jacket.
- Yeah.

Hey, what do you think about
knocking out this wall?

[EDDIE] Keep walking, Buckley.

[MADDIE] "Where were you?",

asked Benji's daddy.

"I got lost," muttered Benji.

"First, I saw a pack of triceratops,

"and then I was chased

"by a velociraptor.

"But I remembered what you said

and followed the sunset
all the way home."

The end.

Hey. Wherever you go,

I promise to protect you.

I love you, Mama.

Oh.

I love you.

[DOOR LOCK RATTLES, CLICKS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey there. You're early.

I want to hear about Eddie's dinner.

But first you need
to kiss your kid good night.

[GRUNTING]

[DISTORTED VOICE]
I didn't want to do this.

I swear. But you made me do it.

You made me do this!

Didn't you?

You made me do this.

- [PANTING]
- [GRUNTING]

[CLEARLY] You're gonna be so mad at me.

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING]

Good girl. Good girl.
