- But the more I preach it
the more I know it's true.

Well come home safely.
From you and I to ignite and sustain for the distance
our spiritual passion,
the first thing we need to taste...
Our personal pattern.
Our personal simply.
- 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.
- 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,
and I saw this light flashing back and forth in my room.
Maybe five or six times.
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.
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
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.
- Hey, I need a favor.
- Sure, what's up?
- I need you to run that.
- 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?
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sounds like a nice guy.
What about his personal life?
You know anything about that?
Does he live with anyone?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- What are you thinking?
- I'm thinking he's not the problem.
- We're ready for you guys to come back now.
- Hi.
- Thank you, right this way.
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!
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.
- 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.
