00:00So, next week is chapter 7, but before we go, are there any prayer requests?
00:25Anything happening?
00:28I'll start.
00:31You know, it's been really great having Katie back in the house, but if you could keep her
00:36and Gary in your prayers, there's still a lot of healing that needs to happen.
00:42And as you know, Carol's having surgery again, so I would like us to all lift her up in prayer.
00:48That's right.
00:50Maybe one of us could bring her a meal?
00:53I'll do it.
00:54Also, this is not to leave this group, but Melinda told me that she and Rick are separating.
01:03She told me the same thing.
01:05That's so sad.
01:06So, we really need to lift them up right now.
01:10Definitely.
01:12Anyone else?
01:16Megan.
01:17How is Darren doing?
01:20He's okay, I guess.
01:21I mean, he's been going to his meetings, so he says they're helping.
01:25That's good.
01:37Yeah, I don't think he's using again, if that's what you're asking.
01:40I mean, he, he has to work a lot of late nights, but it's nothing like it used to be.
01:50That sounds good.
01:53Better late, probably.
02:03Are you two still communicating well?
02:05Yeah, when we do talk, but sometimes I'm afraid of what he might say, so I just don't ask.
02:35It's been a long time since I've seen you read an actual book.
02:55Would you have noticed?
03:05What's your reading?
03:10Does it matter?
03:17I guess it doesn't.
03:19It's about living your life.
03:22You know, what would you do different if you had a second chance?
03:26One of your mom's books, huh?
03:38Okay.
03:40Tell me, what would you do?
03:44I don't understand.
03:45If you could start over, what would you change?
03:48Well, um, I would marry your mother again, so you'd still be around.
04:02Good to know, but not what I was thinking.
04:04Well, I don't know what you're thinking.
04:05I don't know.
04:07Like, if you knew everything that you know now, would it change how you lived your life?
04:16You know, I think we have a pretty good life.
04:20You should come down to the station sometime.
04:22You can see how bad it really gets.
04:26I guess so.
04:29Good night.
04:43Looking for something?
04:44My Morgan silver dollar.
04:48Do you need to look for it now?
04:53Do you have something else in mind?
04:58No.
05:00But I do have a favor to ask.
05:03I like favors.
05:05Stop it.
05:07Do you remember that girl, Megan Rogers, that I told you about?
05:12One whose husband's an addict?
05:14He went to rehab.
05:17Well, what about him?
05:19I was talking to Megan, and it sounds like he might be slipping back into old habits.
05:25Doesn't he have a sponsor?
05:27I don't know.
05:28Maybe.
05:28I don't know.
05:29Maybe.
05:31So what is the favor?
05:35Can you do something?
05:37Can you follow him around and check on him?
05:39I cannot go stalking random citizens, honey.
05:46I just... I have a full caseload besides I'm just too busy for something like that.
05:53I guess we're both too busy for a lot of things, then.
06:04Good night.
06:09I have a job for you.
06:15So, like, who am I staking out?
06:17It's between us.
06:20Okay.
06:22What are the deets?
06:24The what?
06:25The deets.
06:27The details.
06:29What is it?
06:31Something big, huh?
06:33You know, this is going to be my first staking.
06:35Busy?
06:36Always.
06:37What you got?
06:39Picked up five more tweakers over the weekend.
06:41Another meth lab.
06:42What it looks like.
06:44I thought Frank just busted one up.
06:47Shut down one, two more pop right up.
06:50I hate those things.
06:52I always come out smelling like a chemical bath.
06:56Probably due for a new suit anyway, aren't you?
07:02What's wrong with my suit?
07:06Ask your wife.
07:06You like my suit?
07:15When are we heading out for this?
07:22That is not for you.
07:26This is off the record.
07:27That means you don't talk about it.
07:29You want to know the deets?
07:33You want to know the deets?
07:33You heading out?
07:49Yeah.
07:50I've got my meeting tonight, so...
07:53What you drinking?
07:55It's the tea my grandmother used to make.
07:57Can I ask you something?
08:03Sure.

08:15Nine months strong.
08:15You know that...
08:24That part of my life is over, right?
08:29So you're coming straight back afterwards?
08:31I was going to grab a bite to eat, maybe hang out with the guys for a bit, but I don't have to if you'd rather me just come back.
08:41No, it's fine.

17:39Okay. Let's start with a word of prayer.
17:43Dear Lord, we ask that you...
17:46What is wrong with you?
17:47Megan, we were just getting started.
17:51You told your husband about Darren?
17:55I was concerned. I thought he could help.
17:58By having him investigated?
18:04I'm so sorry.
18:05Yeah, well, I thought this was a safe place, you know,
18:08where we could all meet and talk and share each other's burdens,
18:11but instead you were just digging up dirt to tell your husband.
18:13Oh, I have an idea.
18:15Why don't I tell everybody about your family, huh?
18:17Would you like that?
18:18Megan, can we talk about this?
18:20No, I don't want to talk to you.
18:21You've done enough.
18:23I'm done.
18:23You're home early.
18:41What did you do to Megan?
18:44Question is, what did you not tell her?
18:46I simply talked to her about her husband.
18:48Why?
18:49Because you asked me to.
18:51No, all I did was ask you to check on him.
18:54And I did.
18:55And we found something.
18:57What?
18:59Something.
19:00Stop it.
19:02Stop being a cop for just one minute.
19:04I can't.
19:04Well, try for once.
19:09Her husband is mixed up with one of Katie's old dealers.
19:13And they are cooking meth out of a storage unit.
19:18You happy?
19:19Oh, no.
19:20Yeah, yeah.
19:21Oh, no.
19:21And now I have to go and execute a warrant.
19:24Poor Megan.
19:25When?
19:26Tonight.
19:27And you can't say anything to her.
19:33What are you doing?
19:35Putting our valuables away in a safety deposit box.
19:39Katie did not take your stupid coin.
19:41A woman in my group makes these.
19:50I thought you might like it.
20:04All right, darling.
20:05I'm heading out.
20:10Megan?
20:11Do you hear what I said?
20:15Yeah, I heard you.
20:26Is everything okay?
20:27Um...
20:31Why don't you stay in with me tonight and skip your meeting?
20:42It didn't really work that way.
20:47All right.

21:07Okay.
21:07That's exactly right.
21:09And here's the other thing about it.
21:10It's a six-millimeter ram.
21:11Now, a lot of times, folks, we're going to get a chance to buy a six-millimeter ram.
21:18Ready to wrap this up?
21:19Are you ready to deliver?
21:21Yep.
21:22Got the key?
21:23Well, you got the key.
21:26Do I have the key?
21:26I don't have the key.
21:28Check the pack.
21:30I gave it to you.
21:32Darren, what are you doing?
21:36Megan.
21:36Hey, what are you doing here?
21:40Me?
21:41What are you doing here?
21:42I mean, what is this?
21:44And who is he?
21:47This is my friend.
21:50Just stop lying to me.
21:53You're sneaking around all the late nights.
21:56It's not worth it.
21:57We can't do this anymore.
21:58That's not what you're thinking.
21:59I promise you.
22:00It's not.
22:00Just tell me the truth.
22:03You owe me that.
22:06Okay.
22:16Okay.
22:20Please!
22:20Hands in the air!
22:22Show your hands!
22:23Now!
22:25What is this?
22:26Hands where I can see them!
22:26DC!
22:31DC!
22:31DC!
22:32Hey, what did you do?
22:35What did you do?
22:36Hey, what did you do?
22:39Ow!
22:48Open it up.
22:50Come on, let's go.
23:03No, I need to see this.
23:20And cuff them, both of them.
23:48It's a surprise, well, it was going to be a surprise for your birthday.
23:56It was my grandmother's.
23:58I know.
24:01I know I was supposed to dump it, but, you know, I know how much you loved it.
24:06I met Richard at one of my meetings, and he needed some work, so, you know, I just asked
24:11him for help.
24:16I figured why throw away something you love just because it's broken, and, I don't know,
24:22maybe even make it new again.
24:26That's what God did for me.
24:32I love you.
24:39I love you, too.
24:42I love you.
24:43I love you.
24:44I love you.
24:45I love you.
24:46I love you.
24:47I love you.
24:48I love you.
24:49I love you.
24:50I love you.
24:51I love you.
24:52I love you.
24:53I love you.
24:54I love you.
24:55I love you.
24:56I love you.
24:57I love you.
24:58I love you.
24:59I love you.
25:00You know, that's the best thing that ever happened to me.
25:04You know, don't get me wrong, jail is tough, man.
25:07I've been taking classes and gotten to counseling.
25:12I'm doing a lot better, man.
25:20Yeah, I got this.
25:24It's thanks to you.
25:30I can't take that.
25:40It's thanks to you, man.
26:00I can't take that.
26:01I can't take that.
26:10I can't take that.
26:10Oh, my God.
26:40Hey, did I ever tell you where I got this?
26:48No.
26:49Your great-grandfather, he gave it to me when I was five years old.
26:57The only thing of value he had.
27:01I figured it's gonna be yours one day.
27:07Might as well have it now.
27:11Yeah.
27:12Yeah.
27:13Yeah.
27:14Yeah.
