1999
Sharon Pogue, a tough Los Angeles Police Department officer, is haunted by a past family trauma and struggles with her estranged brother, Larry, while maintaining a professional but isolated life. Her world changes when she repeatedly encounters Catch Lambert, a mysterious and attractive man who seems to be watching her and eventually saves her life during a police incident. As Sharon and Catch grow closer, their budding romance is complicated by Catch's enigmatic past, his traumatic flashbacks, and his reluctance to reveal details about himself, leading Sharon to investigate his identity. Sharon discovers that Catch was the man she tried to save at an accident scene years ago, where his wife and child died, and he has been following her ever since, believing she is his guardian angel. After confronting Catch about his past and reconciling with her own family at her parents' vow renewal, Sharon and Catch embrace their shared connection and leave together, ready to face their future.

Sharon Pogue, Larry PogueYesterday. Okay. Yesterday we rolled on a 415. Juliette and Sanchez had these four guys against a wall, but they were H.D.B. and definitely unco-op. It got pretty jumpy, but we got them in the car with a couple of bruises and Robby got a sprained wrist, so I did the rest of the shift with a rookie who lost it over a D.B. in Sunset Park, old woman who'd been dead maybe six, seven days, and I usually do all right but the smell got to me, and I can still smell her. Then we arrested a prostitute working out of her home, and I carried her little girl out to the social worker, and the kid was holding on real tight and making my shoulder wet and I wanted to punch her rock-head mother, and then shift ended and I had a nice visit with my brother Larry.
I bet you feel real proud of yourself, Shar, knocking me down in front of my family. You know what I've got in my hand? I've got a Polaroid picture of my busted-up face, and I'm thinking of sending it to your department, to your lieutenant. I'm going to turn you in to the police, Shar, and see how you like it.
That's his way. That's his way through all this. He made a wall -- around that whole day, that night -- other things, too. He keeps them behind the wall -- his little boy, my daughter. He can't help it. The cemetery?! Do you know how hard it is for me to go to the cemetery? Can you imagine?
Blind to what's going on around you. Blind to what people need. We're supposed to take care of each other. We're supposed to keep each other safe. That's the way it should be -- if you're not going around blind, like that woman...
And you were waiting for him. You were hoping. You were making long-range plans for his ass while he was mouthing off in the car -- and you're supposed to be above that shit.
All right -- you talk about it! You tell me your family died and I say yes, I know, I'm sorry, and you say, I loved them... and I say, what an awful thing to lose a family...
You were finding your way. What else can we do? You think I'm always sure what to say to him, what not to say? I do what I think is right and hope he sees the love in it.
You know Nester -- on the Culver City P.D.? He went out on a violent domestic dispute yesterday. A neighbor called it in. It got a little ugly. No arrest -- a warning.
