He didn't do anything.

We were playing

I think it's broken.

I'm so sorry.

Do you want me to drive

her to the hospital?

No, don't bother.

We're gonna get you fixed up,

it's gonna be ok.

How ya feelin?

Fine.

Was it an accident?

Yeah. We were just playing.

Ah, it's part of being a kid.

Ever tell you that time I broke

my nose running into a fence?

So, 3, 4 weeks in a cast?

Yeah, 3 or 4 weeks.

We'll take a look at it then.

Good night.

I love you.

Dad?

Where's Hunter?

He's someplace safe.

We'll look more tomorrow.

Ok, get some rest.

Mom?

Yeah?

What it if wasn't an accident?

What do you mean?

I donno.

Olive.

Did somebody push you?

Who? Billy?

I didn't see.

Are you sure you were

pushed on purpose?

Maybe?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't want to get

anyone in trouble.

No, honey, you could have

been hurt a lot worse.

I'm sorry.

No, oh, it's not

your fault baby doll.

No worries before bedtime, ok?

Live from our Los

Angeles Studios Channel 8 News.

Thank you for joining us.

Now, our top story.

Officials are investigating the suicide of a

man found dead in an East Los Angeles motel

room early this morning.

The body was found by a hotel

maid on her cleaning rounds.

- Brian. - Police are treating

the death as a suicide.

- What?

- That's her husband, right?

And in other news...

- That was blood on the car.

- What?

And I don't think that

was him driving away.

And that was him.

You missed it.

Hey.

Uh, we're sorry

to bother you so late,

It's ok...

we heard.

I'm sorry?

About your ex husband-

we heard about him.

That he passed.

I just saw it on the news.

So we wanted to...

I know we're relatively new friends, and I

don't want to get off on the wrong foot,

but you must be confused.

Oh...

We're sorry.

We probably made a mistake.

Um, we're really sorry.

Come on. Come on.

Honey...

Brian.

Did you hear that?

Mmmnff.

I heard it too.

Stay behind me.

Be careful.

Quiet.

Careful.

Shh.

Quiet quiet quiet quiet!

Over there

Just be careful.

Oh!

Hunter!

Boy?

...He's not breathing.

Look Brian, he's not breathing.

Come on boy.

Hunter.

I don't understand.

How do you think we

should tell Liwy?

A dog doesn't just

die like that.

It's in perfect health.

Hunter's dead?

Oh, sweetie...

I'm so sorry.

He loved it out here.

Hunter knows that he loved him.

And that we'll continue to.

When you were a baby,

you used to pull at his ears,

and poke him in the eyes

and he would just

sit there and take it.

It was like he knew how

important you were to us.

He will be missed.

You wanna say something, Livvy?

I love you.

Come back.

Emily?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, it's just been

a rough couple of days.

I can imagine.

You all right?

Yeah, we'll pull through.

You know.

Y'know, maybe a little park

time would help cheer us up?

I don't know if Billy and Titus want to go,

but they have, uh, basketball courts there.

I don't know if he plays...

I'm sure they'd love to, but...

Well, it's settled then.

You can catch up on some lost sleep

we interrupted the other night.

10 minutes?

Thanks.

Olive, put this in

the back, with you.

After what he did to her,

you're taking them out?

Do we even know that?

They're kids- come on.

What if he does it again?

I'll talk to him.

It helps him.

- Watch him close.

- I will.

...and a man found dead in East

LA has now been confirmed as Robert Johnson,

who himself lost his only child in a

tragic hiking accident just 2 years ago.

The Shawn Johnson case made national headlines,

and captured America's heart, when hundreds from

communities in the Denver Colorado

area mounted a 3 month search effort.

Robert Johnson was found in his hotel room,

dead, as a result of an apparent suicide.

Police also say Mr. Johnson was arrested days

before his death for breaking and entering

in an unrelated incident.

...depression.

Soon after his son's body was found, Mr. Johnson

was quoted as saying, "Shawn might be in heaven,"

"but this case

is far from closed."

"And I look forward to learning

more facts about my son's death."

Shawn was last seen alive playing hide and

seek with friends in the mountains near a Denver

area neighborhood.

After extensive investigations, Denver

police ruled out foul play, and described

Shawn's death as

a tragic accident.

Robert Johnson will be remembered by friends and

family for his generous community service work

with local youth.

More on this story

as details emerge.

They took him.

They'll take yours.

Pam Johnson?

He was never married to Tamara.

The man last night,

was my husband.

Hi.

Now's not a really good time.

I'm just at a loss.

Well, it's just that

I'm on the phone, so...

This is our second move

in the last 2 years.

We just wanted to find some place

where we could be a family, you know.

But people...

some people,

can't let us have even that.

They don't get

what family means.

- You get it though.

- Yeah.

I'm not really sure, but yeah,

I get what you're saying.

We'd hate to have anything

happen to our families.

So we keep them close.

Do

...anything...

for them.

I'm sorry, I don't really

know what you're saying.

What I mean is, I'm

glad you're a friend.

It means a lot.

Yeah, I'm glad too.

Good.

I'd better get back to my call.

Talk soon.

Not so hard.

You're it!

But detective, I only... She

lied about being his wife.

Look, listen.

If you were trying to get over

a painful memory from the past,

would you reveal

every detail to a neighbor

that you just met?

The child's death

was an accident.

Come on. Just let

these people be.

What if it wasn't an accident?

I saw medication at their house.

Anti-phychotics.

And those kids have

bruises on them.

I don't think that

they're safe with her.

Ok, then. I'll follow it up,

and I'll contact Child Services.

You're supposed to make me feel safe.

Make me feel safe.

If anything else should come up,

don't hesitate to contact us.

Ok?

Thanks for nothing.

Hello.

This is.

Well, uh, wait.

Wait.

Did you say Child Services?

Yes.

Yes, I have 2 sons.

That's weird.

Where's his tag?

What the hell are you doing?

What?

Calling Child Services?

I never called Child Services.

I was just

- Being stupid.

Being stupid gets people hurt.

I'm sorry.

Not everybody has the

perfect life that you have.

And there are more important things in this

world than you, and I would appreciate it

if you would just focus on your

own family for now, ok?

Yeah, ok.

Mommy!

Hi!

Oh, I missed you.

What do you say?

Thank you for taking us.

You're welcome.

Thanks Brian, we appreciate it.

No problem.

Alright, come on guys.

We-we have to talk.

Ok...

I don't think it's Billy.

I think it's her.

Maybe it's both.

Or, maybe it's

somebody overreacting.

I'm not imagining this.

She attacked me.

She attacked you?

She threatened me.

I called lommi, I told him about the
