00:00It's past your bedtime.
00:30Dad, what's going on with you? Who's that man outside?
00:33Don't you recognize me? Sabin!
00:42Hey! Over here!
00:44Hurry! To the bedroom if you want to live!
00:49Quick! Jump in bed and look asleep!
00:53He's almost here! Turn the lights off! Now!
01:00You four better be asleep. It's well past your bedtime.
01:15Ungrateful children. I'm trying to teach you a lesson.
01:19I will whip you into responsible, respectful adults.
01:23I will not let you have the same childhood as me. Do you hear me?
01:27No. Not like me at all.
01:31From as early as I could remember, my life was hard.
01:35All my parents ever did was fight and yell at each other.
01:39You're being too hard on him! He's just a kid!
01:42I don't care what you say. I'm going to raise him however I see fit.
01:46Just look at him now, slacking off. He should be cooking dinner and taking out all the trash.
01:51He needs to learn to pull his own weight around here.
01:54My father was very hard on me, you see.
01:57Always ordering me around and forcing me to do anything he wanted.
02:07You're still not done?
02:09I'm sorry. It's just such a big house and there's so much trash.
02:12Get it done now, or else!
02:14But...
02:15Nothing I did was ever good enough for him. He was even strict with my mother.
02:21What is this? Where's my ramen?
02:24We can't eat ramen every night, honey. Just try the pizza. I bet you'll like it.
02:31Why is it impossible for either of you to do anything right?
02:35You know what? That's it.
02:40What?
02:41In my heart, I knew my parents separating was for the best.
02:45But it still hurt, and it led to a tough decision.
02:50I had to choose which of my parents to stay with.
02:53Mom or father. I'd be lying if I said it was a hard choice.
02:58Mom!
03:01Ungrateful brat, as always. Good luck, you two. You'll come back. You need me.
03:08Somehow, my father began to resent me even more. Mom and I did TV dinner dates every Friday.
03:15We hung out all the time, going to the mall, the zoo.
03:20She even helped me join the baseball team and came to every game.
03:24She let me live my life. She let me be a kid and have fun the way it was supposed to be.
03:30And then my world was shattered.
03:33Out of nowhere, she got sick. Really, really sick.
03:39Promise me you'll be okay without me.
03:41Without you? Mom, that's not going to happen.
03:44Oh, sweetheart. Never forget how much I love you.
03:53Mom? Mom! No!
03:56She succumbed to her illness, leaving me alone in the world.
04:01At least, I thought. It turns out, being alone would have been a better option than what really happened.
04:08Hello, son. Ready to come home again?
04:11I had no choice. Father was the only parent I had left.
04:17Hurry up already!
04:18That generator's not going to refuel itself.
04:20We only have a couple hours to cook our ramen dinner, take out the trash and turn off all the lights.
04:25But, Dad, I...
04:26Don't back-sass me! Do as you're told!
04:31If I was lucky, maybe I'd get a few minutes of screen time before...
04:36What are you doing out of bed? It's 10 p.m.!
04:39I hated living in that house with him.
04:42And I vowed to be a better parent if I ever had a son.
04:47Life went on like that for years, until finally, I was old enough to strike out on my own.
04:54Alright, get to bed. It's almost your bedtime.
04:57No, Dad.
04:59You must have forgot that this is my house and I make the rules.
05:02I'm all grown up now, Dad.
05:04You must have forgot that this is my house and I make the rules.
05:07I'm all grown up now, Dad. I'm old enough to make my own rules.
05:11What?! Where are you going?!
05:13I'm getting out of here!
05:14Oh, no you're not! It's your bedtime! I am your father! Listen to me!
05:21I never want to see you again! I'm never coming back!
05:24Rats! You'll be back! You can't make it on your own!
05:29I hadn't thought fully ahead.
05:32I had nowhere to go, but anywhere was better than home with that man.
05:37I knew I'd need a roommate if I wanted to afford living away from my dad,
05:41so I reached out to a listing I found.
05:44The most perfect woman in the world.
05:47Hey! You looking for a roommate?
05:49I, uh, yes, but you're a...
05:52Girl? Why don't we get coffee and see if we're a good fit?
05:56Sure! And it turned out we were.
05:59We quickly fell madly in love and got married.
06:02It was the happiest day of my life.
06:18I can't believe our sons are all grown up now.
06:21Well, they may be adults, but they're still living at home.
06:24Well, they'll move out soon enough.
06:27I think they keep wanting to stick around because you're such a great dad.
06:30Thanks, honey. Finally, things seem to be going well.
06:34But I should have known by that point, nothing good lasts.
06:40Look out!
06:42No!
06:50After the accident, I was completely unscathed.
06:54But my wife, she wasn't so lucky, just like my mother.
06:58I lost her.
07:00Was I ever going to stop suffering?
07:03My entire life, nothing was in my control. Nothing!
07:07It seemed like I was doomed to be alone.
07:10All my happiness stripped of me.
07:12My mother, my childhood, my wife.
07:15I finally lost it.
07:25We made your world-famous ramen, Dad. Everyone's favorite.
07:32After dinner, do you think we could watch some TV together?
07:36At that moment, something inside me snapped.
07:39The love of my life was dead.
07:41A rage came over me, and I became the one thing I swore I'd never become.
07:46A weird, strict dad.
07:52No. In fact, I think we need to start making some big changes around here.
07:58Clean up the trash, and get to bed before 10 PM.
08:02But Dad, you never gave us chores before!
08:04And since when do we have a bedtime?
08:07I'm warning you, boys. If you don't do what I say, I'll...
08:12Who could that possibly be?
08:14You four! Get to bed by curfew! I mean it!
08:31Huh. Good boys.
08:34What is wrong with Dad?
08:36Didn't you see the television announcement earlier?
08:39A mysterious man is going around possessing people!
08:42But it only lasts until 6 AM.
08:45Well, I can't wait that long. I need to get out of here.
08:48Wait, don't!
09:03No, let me out, let me out!
09:05Sorry. It looks like you're grounded, champ.
09:11No, no, no, no!
