00:00It was this complete and utter shock.
00:02The jury reached a verdict.
00:04Guilty.
00:05Guilty.
00:06Guilty.
00:07Like, they're gonna be guilty on everything.
00:08Todd and Julie Crisley facing 30 years in prison.
00:12It was such a shock.
00:13Well, what?
00:14This is like Twilight Zone.
00:15We can't meet experiences, but we were.
00:17I just felt like my soul, like, left my body.
00:21For the past two and a half years, I have been fighting, trying to get my parents home,
00:25and if I meet the right person who's willing to help, then this whole thing could be over.
00:31I get a call from my mom.
00:32She said that one of the counselors was told this past weekend they needed to be on call
00:37because Crisley was getting pardoned.
00:39Maybe it is happening.
00:40We all kind of went into an excited panic.
00:44Hello.
00:45Hi.
00:45Hey, you think I'm out of the trash, yeah?
00:47No, but I haven't told anybody.
00:49Well, you ain't gonna have to.
00:51The moment they release you, I'm here.
00:53Of course, I hope the pardon happens.
00:55But I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
00:57You gotta get the most powerful man in the world to sign off on something.
01:01It's pretty hard.
01:03I feel like we're right on the cusp.
01:05But I know we're close, and it's gonna happen.
01:20Breaking news.
01:21Former reality TV stars Todd and Julie Crisley, free.
01:25President Trump said he's pardoning them.
01:27Your parents are gonna be free and clean, and I hope we can do it by tomorrow.
01:32Hold on one second.
01:36I'm so sorry.
01:36This is my mom.
01:37One second.
01:39Hello.
01:40Hi.
01:40This is the Lexington prison calling with Mrs. Crisley.
01:43She would like to talk to you.
01:47Hello.
01:48Hey.
01:49Hey.
01:49Okay.
01:50Do you know who he's pardoning me?
01:51Uh, yeah.
01:51Your Trump signed your paperwork.
01:53It should be...
01:54You should be out of there in three to five hours.
01:56Okay.
01:57What about Dad?
01:58Dad, same thing.
01:59Same thing.
02:01Y'all have both got pardoned.
02:02Trump called us.
02:04You better be praising him when you get out.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Don't you worry.
02:07I am.
02:08Oh, my God.
02:09He called me and said, um, I got a call that said the president would like to speak with
02:13you, and, um, I spoke to him for, like, ten minutes.
02:19He gave y'all full, unconditional, like, full, unconditional pardons so this family can get
02:24their life back.
02:26Oh, my gosh.
02:27That's amazing.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Okay.
02:30So what do I need to be prepared?
02:32Just get ready?
02:33Yeah.
02:33Mama, can you believe it?
02:35Oh, my gosh.
02:36I love it.
02:37I love it.
02:40On the day the pardon happened, I was honestly at an all-time blow.
02:43I just had gotten to a place in life to where I was like, I have worked tooth and nail for
02:49the past two and a half years to try and get my parents home, and it seems like nothing
02:53is working.
02:55I had pretty much just thrown my hands up in the air and said, if it's going to happen,
02:59it's going to happen, but there's nothing more that I can do.
03:02That morning, Grace and I went to play golf.
03:04We left the golf course.
03:05I get a text from Margo, who is one of the president's right-hand girls, and she was like,
03:12I don't want to waste much time.
03:13And the president would like to speak with you.
03:15And I immediately was like, oh, my gosh.
03:19Like, this is happening.
03:20This is happening now.
03:22So we sat in the car, and that's when the president told us that he was signing the
03:28pardon paperwork for both mom and dad.
03:30I'd say it's real this time, because it's not every day that the president calls you.
03:38It was just very chaotic, because we had to go back to the house and start cleaning, getting
03:42the room ready, getting clothes ready, and figuring out who was going to go get who.
03:47I got a call from Savannah saying that the pardons were signed, and five minutes later, it was
03:53all over the news.
03:54All of my friends are, like, tweeting, and it's all over the news.
04:00Look at Frankie and Jason.
04:02I'm telling you, like, I'm just, I was in such shock.
04:06Can you believe it?
04:07Can you believe it?
04:07Huh?
04:08Can you believe it?
04:09No.
04:10I'm freaking out.
04:11Let's go, baby.
04:15Stop.
04:16I'm getting ready.
04:17Do you have any date for anything?
04:18No, I'm just trying to get a ride.
04:19Wow.
04:20I told you that it's lined up.
04:21No, it's not.
04:22He's not available.
04:23I spoke to him.
04:24Steve?
04:25Yeah.
04:26That's right.
04:27Oh, it's all it is.
04:28That's all it is.
04:29That's all it is.
04:30That's all it is.
04:31I spoke to him.
04:32Steve?
04:33Yeah.
04:34Oh, it's all it is.
04:37Oh, it's on the news.
04:38Hello.
04:39With this just in, President Trump is set to pardon reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley.
04:45He will be granting three funds, adding, Trump knows best.
04:50It's official.
04:51He did it today in this conversation, a phone call that he had there with their daughter,
04:55Savannah, who's been very outspoken over the last few years about her parents' conviction.
05:00And now it's official President Trump deciding to pardon Todd and Julie Christie.
05:06it's the other movement for you.
05:07It's the other movement.
05:08And the other movement.
05:09It's the other movement, the other movement.
05:10It's the other movement...
05:11In the West, Louisville, the other movement.
05:12Chase!
05:13Chase?
05:14My parents are coming home, so thank you, Mr. President.
05:19We appreciate you.
05:20We support you.
05:21And thank you for putting my family back together.
05:26Fist pump.
05:27It was just very chaotic.
05:45Savannah and Tyler went and got my dad.
05:48We are here.
05:48We're hiding out.
05:50I'm security.
05:51I'm freaking out, y'all.
05:52Dad's coming up.
05:53Me, Pamela, my cousin, and her boyfriend went and got my mom.
05:59Tyler and I got up.
06:01We went and got a rental car at a rental car place close to the prison.
06:04We waited literally all day long.
06:06Get any updates, let me know.
06:08Because they're telling me, you know, it's past their 5 o'clock.
06:12So they basically said, if nothing happened by 5, and then we came up here.
06:16And so now they're staying, and they're like, well, I'm normally home by now.
06:19I mean, we'd get updates every now and then,
06:22but it was like it would only be like two more hours.
06:25And then two hours would pass, and then it would be like,
06:27it's only going to be two more hours.
06:28So it seemed like it just kept getting pushed back.
06:32And then I got word from the White House
06:34that the president was signing the documents at 3 p.m. Eastern time.
06:38And he signed it within that 3 p.m. hour.
06:41And then that's when I got the photos.
06:44Tell Grayson.
06:45We're sending Grayson something.
06:46I'm sending Grayson something.
06:48He signed it?
06:49He signed!
06:51Literally signing it.
06:56Let's go!
06:57Wait, is it?
06:59Yep.
07:01Let's go!
07:03Bad ass.
07:05At that point, then, we were like,
07:06all right, this is happening like any minute.
07:08We're going to continue monitoring the situation,
07:10kind of watching for any cars that are coming in and going,
07:13hoping to see Chrisley come out.
07:15We are currently sitting in the Dollar Tree parking lot
07:21by the dumpsters in our rental car.
07:24We're trying to hide.
07:25There is so much press around.
07:28We're literally, what, maybe half a mile from the prison,
07:31and there's probably 30 cars out there waiting.
07:34I just got a text that Dad should be out by the 4 o'clock count.
07:38And what time is it?
07:39It is 3.13.
07:41I have fought tooth and nail for this.
07:45My dad's my best friend in the entire world.
07:48And I know it sounds stupid, but literally, I was like,
07:52I have got to get my dad out before I get married,
07:54or before I have kids,
07:55or he can't be almost 70 coming home.
07:59Literally 45 minutes out, I think,
08:01from bringing him home.
08:02Or less.
08:03Or less.
08:03Or maybe a little more.
08:04Who knows?
08:05But it is happening today.
08:15Listen, let me tell you something.
08:18All my fans and friends,
08:20I was sitting in my happy place
08:23when Savannah called me and she said,
08:26Nanny, you've got to come home now.
08:29I said, oh my God, what's happened?
08:30She said, Nanny,
08:33Trump is just part of Mom and Dad.
08:37I was so happy.
08:41I gathered up my coins.
08:43I put them in my purse.
08:45And I ran upstairs and I throwed my clothes in that duffel bag.
08:49And I was down that road.
08:52And I praised God all the way home.
08:54And I hate that I'm emotional,
08:57but I can't help.
09:08Oh, security goes.
09:09I'm a little dusty, but it's okay.
09:10Why y'all got security?
09:12Because my parents are coming home
09:13and there's people outside waiting to film them.
09:16And they're like...
09:17And I had to hide myself like this.
09:20So they couldn't get me
09:22and I can only take, like, right here.
09:24So they go like that
09:25and their camera almost tilted,
09:26but the neighbor, like,
09:27stopped right in front of them
09:28with a black car.
09:31Chase!
09:33What did you say?
09:35Chase, I'm waiting for you!
09:38What did you say?
09:39I'm waiting for Chase.
09:41You know what?
09:41I said, Chase, I'm waiting for you.
09:44I'm not even why he's here.
09:46No, no.
09:47Chase!
09:49Chase was supposed to be included,
09:51but Chase left the house for some reason.
09:54I mean, at that point, that's on him.
09:56If you're not there, you're not there.
09:58Chase has been non-existent
10:00during this entire process.
10:02I was at the house
10:03and that's when Grayson said
10:04he would go get mom,
10:06I would go get dad.
10:07And that was the best way for it to play out.
10:11No one really had the emotional capacity
10:14or want to have to deal with Chase
10:16and all of his crazy emotions
10:18and trying to dictate
10:20or not help.
10:24You also don't get to have a say
10:25if you're not financially helping
10:26contribute to this whole process.
10:29Can you believe they're coming home?
10:47I'm still in shock.
10:50That's why I didn't sleep any last night.
10:53I'm so happy.
10:54You know, your daddy called me
10:57when I left that casino
10:58and I was throwing my pocketbook in the car.
11:01My phone rang.
11:01I looked down.
11:02Todd.
11:04I said, oh, he said,
11:05you happy, mama?
11:06I said, I'm so happy
11:07I don't even know if my skin
11:08can hold myself.
11:11I said, I was crying.
11:12I said, not from being sad.
11:14Yeah, of joy.
11:15But from joy.
11:16And, you know, my little granddaughter,
11:18she did work very hard.
11:21And I'm going to give her credit for that.
11:25But we all worked hard.
11:27But we let her be the batter.
11:33That's what we let her do.
11:35Now, she don't think she did it by herself,
11:37but we let her be the batter.
11:39I'm focusing on the positive.
11:41I'm pissed off for the way
11:42that this whole travel situation
11:45has been handled.
11:46Savannah was the one
11:47that got to make the decision
11:49on who was going to pick up my parents.
11:52I don't think it was handled well.
11:54I guess it happened so fast.
11:56I guess it wasn't thinking about
11:57who was going to go get them.
11:59And I wasn't there.
12:01Probably if I'd have been home
12:02and I demanded to go,
12:04I probably would go.
12:06Did you want to be included
12:07on the plans to go pick up Julie?
12:09I did want to.
12:11I've said that since day one
12:13that we took, when we took her,
12:14the day that we took her
12:16and I saw her walk up that sidewalk,
12:20I said, I hope and pray
12:23that that day that she gets out,
12:26that I can be here
12:27to see her walk back down that sidewalk
12:29and be free.
12:31Why weren't you able to go?
12:36That is just a situation
12:38I really don't want to talk about.
12:41My grandparents weren't included
12:42and picking them up
12:44because, I mean,
12:45it would have been too much for them.
12:46I mean, we slept in the car,
12:48we waited for hours and hours and hours.
12:51It just would have been too much for them.
12:56But that's okay.
12:57We'll get over there.
12:58Just think about it.
12:58We didn't have to ride
12:59and get in all that mess.
13:00It's not about that.
13:01I would have loved to have seen
13:03my mom or dad walk out of there.
13:04Yeah, I would too,
13:05but we're going to get a walk
13:07to see them in that door.
13:08But yet, Pamela and Tyler
13:11get to see it.
13:13Well, who cares
13:14a rat's ace about them?
13:17I care about it.
13:18I don't.
13:21I just don't think it was right.
13:22I think Nanny Pam
13:23should have been able
13:24to go pick up my mom.
13:25And I should have got
13:26to go pick up my son.
13:27I agree, 100%.
13:29What did I tell you on the phone?
13:31That y'all should have been
13:31the main priority.
13:34And you know I'm the queen,
13:35so I don't know
13:36what the hell they talk about.
13:37I think they doped up or something.
13:39I think you might be drinking
13:41that same Kool-Aid Savannah's drinking.
13:42No, I'm not.
13:44Mm-mm, not me.
13:45I don't drink that s***.
13:47Mm-mm.
13:50Man, I love you, Chase,
13:51and I am so happy
13:53and proud of you.
13:55There ain't nothing
13:56that you and I
13:57and God can handle.
14:06Hey, Nanny.
14:14I just heard the good news.
14:16You might not remember me,
14:17but we met at Marshalls.
14:19You were with your granddaughter,
14:20and I tried to get you
14:21to come over
14:22to the assisted living
14:23where I work.
14:24Oh, yeah.
14:25Uh-huh.
14:25I'm so excited.
14:27I heard that Donald Trump
14:28pardoned Todd and Julie,
14:30and I can't believe it.
14:31Yeah, he pardoned them yesterday.
14:33Oh, my goodness.
14:34I got chills up my spine
14:35just hearing that news.
14:40Who was that?
14:42A girl that I'm a woman.
14:44It works at Marshalls.
14:46Look at here.
14:50What is all this?
14:51Them's all my friends and fans.
14:54What are they calling you about?
14:56The great news that we just got.
14:59They love me,
15:00and I love them.
15:03How you doing?
15:04Well, I'm just overwhelmed with joy.
15:07I appreciate all the prayers
15:08and all the emails,
15:12and especially you.
15:14Yeah.
15:16Nanny, when I saw it on the TV,
15:19you know,
15:19when it came up breaking news?
15:21Uh-huh.
15:21Listen, I got to tell you,
15:23I was freaking out.
15:24Well, think about me sitting up there
15:26in a damn casino.
15:28Waiting patiently, okay?
15:30Yeah, we slept here in the car,
15:33and we're waiting for our news.
15:36All right.
15:36Okay, I love you.
15:38Love you.
15:38Let us know so you find out,
15:40because, you know,
15:41I'm sitting here,
15:42and anxiety's built up really bad.
15:45I ain't slept on me.
15:48Hello?
15:49You about got her?
15:50No, I don't know nothing.
15:52Everybody's calling me.
15:53Well, we just want to know.
15:55Well, when I know something,
15:57I'll tell y'all.
15:58Okay.
15:59Well, be sure you do.
16:00Call us.
16:00We want to know.
16:02All right.
16:03Bye.
16:04Bye.
16:05You know,
16:05he always got to have
16:06a damn attitude.
16:08Or at least,
16:09Jenny Perron was there.
16:10I'm sorry,
16:10I think he was signing
16:10executive orders.
16:12He was asked
16:13about whether he would pardon,
16:16and let's put up the headline.
16:18Hell, I don't know
16:18if they're going to let him out or not.
16:19I've gotten her in Michigan.
16:21I kind of want to give you
16:22the lay of the land here
16:23outside of the prison
16:24here in Pensacola.
16:26Kind of take a look
16:26to my left here to start,
16:27and you can kind of see
16:28some of the news media
16:29that's gathered here.
16:30We've got people
16:31from local here
16:32in Northwest Florida
16:33all the way
16:34to some national folks.
16:36The papers state
16:37that they must be
16:38released immediately,
16:39and there was press
16:41everywhere at the prison,
16:44and the prison
16:44was giving me a hard time
16:46about letting that out,
16:47so that's when I went out
16:48in front of the prison.
16:49Thank you so much.
16:52It was so nice to meet you.
16:55There were people
16:56handing me their babies.
16:58It was absolutely insane.
17:00Then I did a press conference
17:01with all the news outlets.
17:03My family,
17:04we just want to get home.
17:05We want to get home.
17:06We want to be reunited.
17:08It's going to take a while.
17:09They've been behind walls
17:11for two and a half years,
17:12and they thought
17:14they were going to be here
17:15for 12 and seven years.
17:17Then I got in touch
17:19with the White House,
17:20let them know
17:21what was going on,
17:22and the director
17:23of the Bureau of Prisons,
17:25William Marshall,
17:25and within 30 minutes
17:27from that press conference,
17:29probably,
17:29like,
17:29Dab was walking out.
17:32It just hit.
17:34It just hit.
17:35We're good to go.
17:36We are good to go.
17:37I got to call Grayson.
17:38Oh!
17:41All right.
17:41It just hit,
17:46so you should be getting
17:47a call any minute.
17:48I just got off the phone
17:48with Alice Johnson,
17:49Billy Marshall,
17:51who's the director
17:52of the Bureau of Prisons,
17:53Josh Smith,
17:54the deputy director.
17:56So they've gotten it done.
17:59Okay.
17:59All right.
18:00Bye.
18:00Can you believe it?
18:05Oh, thank the Lord.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:09Oh, my God.
18:09Should I flip it around
18:12at all?
18:12No, just kidding.
18:12Or just let him...
18:13Let's go.
18:15Follow the Dodge Drive.
18:17Hang on.
18:18I got it back.
18:26It's happening.
18:26We're going!
18:27It's happening.
18:28It's happening.
18:28It's happening.
18:29It's happening.
18:29It's happening.
18:31We are following
18:32the Navy police
18:34out of prison.
18:36The last time
18:37I have to see this place.
18:39I know I'm already
18:57crying.
18:57Oh, my God.
19:03I have to be
19:03almost pulled behind
19:05half of her.
19:05Are they coming
19:07out that door?
19:08Oh, they're
19:08going to come out
19:09there.
19:12Video it.
19:21Video it.
19:24Drop on a bell.
19:25Okay, put that...
19:46Put that thing up.
19:53We're ready.
19:55We're ready.
19:59Todd, you're out.
20:04Oh, my God.
20:06It's done.
20:07Oh, my God.
20:12Oh, my God.
20:13The last time
20:22I was in this space
20:24was when I was
20:24dropping my dad
20:25off at prison.
20:26And now I'm in this
20:29space watching him
20:30come back to us,
20:31watching him come
20:32home, watching him
20:33have a clean slate.
20:35So it's extremely
20:36overwhelming to realize
20:40where we've once been
20:41and now where we're at.
20:58Hello, President Trump.
21:00Congratulations.

21:14Looking good.
21:15Well, I just want you
21:16to know that we have
21:18been huge Trump supporters
21:19forever, but you've

21:23about in my life,
21:24which is my wife
21:25and my children.
21:26I just want you

21:43Thank you so much.
21:46God bless.
21:48How are you guys feeling?
21:51Just ready to see her.
21:52Okay, don't say anything.
22:05Like, don't talk.
22:22Oh my God.
22:45Watching my mom walk out
22:47is an amazing feeling.
22:48I mean, it's what she's been
22:49waiting on for three years.
22:52Hand her the phone.
23:05Hand her the phone.
23:06Hand her the phone.

23:37I miss you so much.
23:39I miss you.
23:39He's done got hold on me.
23:41Seeing mom and dad
23:42see each other
23:42for the first time
23:43is extremely overwhelming
23:44and emotional
23:45because they didn't
23:47see each other
23:48for years.

23:53Pizza Hut.
23:57Oh my gosh.

25:20Who did you talk to?
25:20Oh, Julie called
25:22as soon as she got in the car
25:23and I said,
25:25how are you doing, honey?
25:26She said,
25:26I'm doing good.
25:27She said,
25:28I'm overwhelmed.
25:28But she said that,
25:32sorry.
25:34She said they'd been really,
25:36really good to her
25:37all day.
25:38They had catered to her
25:40all day.
25:41She said they'd been great.
25:42I just can't believe it.
25:46We've been praying for this
25:47for a long, long time.
25:51Okay.
25:52Hey.
25:53What?
25:53Yes.
25:54Don't act like it's me.
25:55What's your name
25:56and how do you feel
25:57about Julian Todd getting out?
26:00My name is Wilbur
26:01and I,
26:02who is Julian Todd?
26:02Be for real here.
26:04Who is Julian Todd?
26:06Wilbur.
26:07No.
26:08Come on.
26:08I believe in you.
26:09I'm,
26:10I'm,
26:10actually,
26:11I'm excited.
26:12I want to see her,
26:14I want to see her reaction
26:15to being free
26:16and as the paper put it,
26:19I think it was a quote
26:20by Donald Trump,
26:21not only are they free,
26:22they're clean.
26:24Do you know
26:24if you're interviewing me,
26:25you shouldn't be standing
26:25like that?
26:27Don't scratch your head,
26:28don't cross your feet.
26:29Okay.
26:29Thank you, sir.
26:32I'm going to starve
26:54my baby to death.
26:56Yes.
26:57Tomorrow,
26:57I will have my hair color,
27:00then I'm cooking,
27:01I'll not appointments
27:02to get my lasers
27:03and stuff done
27:03and I will be back
27:04in a fighting order
27:05within 72 hours.
27:07Oh, God,
27:08I can't wait.
27:09Oh, my God.
27:10I know,
27:11I just told Nanny,
27:12I said,
27:12wouldn't you hate
27:13to be the
27:14on the other end
27:15of Dad right now?
27:17Oh, please,
27:18when I got ready to leave,
27:19the A.W. came out there
27:20and she goes,
27:21Mr. Chrisley,
27:22she says,
27:22I know this has been
27:23a long, hard fight
27:24for you guys
27:25and I'm so happy
27:26for you and your family
27:27and I said,
27:27say,
27:27cut the
27:28off.
27:30Say,
27:30what?
27:30I said,
27:32cut the
27:33off.
27:33I said,
27:34if you think
27:35what I did
27:36when I was here
27:36was something,
27:37you have no idea
27:38what I'm going to do
27:39when I walk outside
27:40these gates.
27:41I said,
27:42I won't stop
27:42until I can destroy
27:43everyone.
27:44How far away are you?
27:46We don't get there
27:47which way or something's fine.
27:49We will be waiting.
27:51The Internet had been full
28:08of speculation.
28:09They're coming home.
28:10They're not coming home.
28:11But Julie used the phrase
28:13cautiously optimistic.
28:15She said,
28:15Daddy,
28:16I'm cautiously optimistic.
28:17So I still had my doubts.
28:19I want to hug her
28:21and I want to give her
28:22a kiss on the cheek.
28:23I want to be sure
28:24this time
28:25this is legit
28:26and it's real.
28:27Is she in the front seat?
28:28No,
28:29in the back.
28:32Hey,
28:33you little weenie.
28:33Julie got out of that car
28:57in that garage
28:59and Coco knew
29:01that she was home
29:03for real.
29:04She ran up
29:05and could not
29:06let go of her mom.
29:08Are you sure?
29:10Hey, baby.
29:11Hi.
29:11Hey, Elise.
29:13Hey.
29:15Welcome home.
29:16Seeing Julie free
29:18after two and a half years
29:19was overwhelming.
29:21It was like
29:22she had come back
29:23from the grave.
29:24You never have to leave again.
29:26I don't know.
29:29I'm so thankful
29:30and grateful.
29:31Everything worked out.
29:34I first give God
29:35the glory
29:38for them being released.
29:41Savannah had a huge part
29:43in being able
29:45to get in front
29:45of the right people.
29:47She never gave up.
29:49She was going to do
29:50whatever it took
29:51to get her mom
29:53and dad free.
29:54Come home.
29:55Yay!
29:56Come home.
29:56Yay!
30:05Our daughter
30:06is home safe
30:07and sound.
30:08What did you?
30:09Did you make this one?
30:10Yeah.
30:11Chloe!
30:12I love it.
30:13You've learned
30:14how to cook.
30:15So now
30:16I don't have to cook.
30:17Okay.
30:18We're not going to go that far.
30:19She's like,
30:19okay.
30:21Okay.
30:23These are some
30:23of you.
30:23Yeah.
30:25Hi.
30:26Hi.
30:27How are you?
30:27Thank you, girl.
30:33I'm okay.
30:34Are you okay?
30:35Yeah.
30:37Seeing my mom
30:38come home,
30:38it's very emotional.
30:41It feels like
30:42a thousand pound weight
30:44has been lifted
30:45off my shoulders.
30:46I can't believe
30:47you're here.
30:47I know.
30:48Oh my gosh.
30:50It just...
30:52I couldn't describe
30:54a better feeling.
30:57You good?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Okay.
31:01You look good.
31:04Hi.
31:05It's a good thing
31:06to meet you.
31:07I'm so cute.
31:09Okay.
31:10Now,
31:11is that how
31:11you had her picture?
31:13What do you mean?
31:15Julie.
31:15What did you think
31:16she was like?
31:17Just as beautiful
31:17as I had.
31:18Good answer.
31:19Good answer.
31:20And that was
31:21the first time
31:21your mom
31:22meeting Jody, right?
31:23That was the first
31:24time my mom
31:25met Jody.
31:26I mean,
31:27I'm just not sure
31:27that that's something
31:28that she should
31:29have been included on.
31:31But,
31:32yeah.
31:35He's grown.
31:36You can only
31:36control him so much.
31:40I don't think
31:41my mom was even
31:42able to digest
31:44even meeting Jody
31:45or meet...
31:46Because there was
31:46just so many people
31:47around and so much
31:48going on.
31:49I think that she...
31:50My mom just needed
31:51a second,
31:52which is fair.
31:56Okay,
31:56everyone,
31:56get them down.
32:00It's all about you today.
32:03Matt, I'm good.
32:05Today's your day.
32:06That's it.
32:07I'm done.
32:08Who are all
32:09these people at the house?
32:10Good question.
32:12They shouldn't
32:13have been there.
32:17To me,
32:18it was very
32:18overwhelming
32:20and chaotic.
32:21Hi, I'm Mikayla.
32:22Hi, nice to meet you.
32:23Nice to probably meet you.
32:25Yes!
32:25Yes!
32:26Savannah has all
32:27of her friend group
32:28over at the house
32:29and it is a very
32:31intimate thing.
32:32So, I'm not sure
32:34why all these people
32:35are in the house.
32:38Hi!
32:39How far are you?
32:40I know!
32:41You're so skinny!
32:42Oh, my gosh!
32:42Oh, my gosh!
32:43I think my mom
32:46is just very
32:46overwhelmed.
32:48I mean,
32:48it's a lot.
32:49Like,
32:50going from where
32:51she was at
32:51to coming back home
32:52and there's a house
32:53full of people.
32:54Woo!
32:55Like, I don't think
32:56that she really
32:56had room to breathe.
32:58You look like you're...
32:59Are you good?
33:00I am.
33:01It's just been a long day.
33:03It's been a long day.
33:04How are you feeling
33:12back there?
33:13Yeah.
33:14I can't help
33:15that I'm throwing up.
33:16Ugh.
33:18I don't know.
33:18I don't understand
33:19this question.
33:20See, I'm going to grow
33:22up and she doesn't stop.
33:24What?
33:24I can't help it.
33:26Tyler and my father
33:27were making fun of me
33:29as I puked the whole
33:30ride home.
33:31I've got her up
33:32here yakking.
33:33I've got you
33:34back in my ear yakking.
33:36It's just so disgusting.
33:38I had been up
33:39for at least 24 hours.
33:41I had fought like hell,
33:43the adrenaline,
33:44everything.
33:44I honestly think
33:45that's probably why
33:46I got so sick.
33:48It was a lot.
33:49I can smell it.
33:50You just sprayed
33:51perfume everywhere.
33:53I didn't have to deal
33:54with this in prison.
34:03We go.
34:04Where are you going?
34:04They're an hour and a half
34:05away.
34:06Okay.
34:06And I've got to work
34:07tomorrow.
34:07I've been up since
34:08four o'clock.
34:09I love you.
34:11I love you.
34:11I'll talk to you
34:13tomorrow.
34:14I know that.
34:15And you're safe at home.
34:16I'll call you tomorrow.
34:18All right.
34:18I love you.
34:19Y'all be careful.
34:19I love you.
34:20All right.
34:20Love you.
34:21Bye.
34:21Welcome back, baby.
34:22Okay.
34:28Okay.
34:31Mom.
34:32Is it out of the room?
34:33Is it here?
34:34Is it about to?
34:34Is it okay?
34:35Hello?
34:36Hello?
34:38Hey, Julie.
34:39I'm perfect.
34:39Yeah, I'm okay.
34:41I think my mom is just
34:44very overwhelmed.
34:45Like, this is what
34:46we've been waiting for
34:47for so long.
34:51Close.
34:51Even if you're happy.
35:11Bye.
35:13Bye.
35:15Bye.
35:18Bye.
35:19Bye.
35:19Bye.
35:21Oh, my God, I feel like I have this for so much more.
35:48Yeah, we're not doing right.
35:55Oh, hey.
35:58Hey, you're like, no.
36:01Oh, my God.
36:03Hey, they're going to sleep, sir.
36:08Oh, God.
36:10He slept in his 48 hours.
36:13Yeah.
36:14When my dad walked in, seeing he and my mom reconnect,
36:24that was the moment that I've been waiting for.
36:27And I know they miss each other.
36:31We all miss them.
36:32And now everybody's finally back together.
36:35I mean, it's the best gift that God could have given me.
36:40How about I cannot even tell you how happy I was.
36:43And when I saw him and Julie together, that broke my heart.
36:49It broke my heart, but not anyone that couldn't be repaired
36:54because of the joy that I've seen with them.
37:04Well, he survived.
37:06He survived.
37:07We have done that.
37:08Yeah.
37:09We have done that.
37:11I don't know how to be with a dark kid at once.
37:14I don't know.
37:16But I'm willing to try it to.
37:18Get away from me.
37:19Like, I can't even imagine how they're feeling.
37:22It's...
37:24It's amazing.
37:26Yeah.
37:27This is awesome.
37:30I'd say you could get your jewelry on right now,
37:37but Savannah's got it all on.
37:39Well, that's it.
37:44I got to get home before y'all kill each other.
37:46I'm glad I got home.
37:48I'm not fighting with nobody.
37:50Best thing is everybody forgive and move on
37:53and start a new life.
37:54Start a new beginning.
37:56Have I not reached out to Savannah?
37:59Okay.
38:00How many times?
38:02What is it you got in your mouth?
38:05It's dead.
38:06Get, get it out.
38:08I've had braces on twice and teeth fixed.
38:12Get out of it.
38:13Get it out.
38:14Oh, my lord.
38:16Go back.
38:17Oh, I'm not going back.
38:20So, Savannah.
38:22Tell me about the last 48 hours of Savannah.
38:26My job is done.
38:28I have accomplished the goal that I set out to accomplish,
38:32so I'm going to bed,
38:34and I am excited to wake up in the morning
38:36in the same household as my parents,
38:38and who knows, maybe tackle another mission after this.
38:45Our family is back together, and I know how much they miss each other,
38:51and now that they're able to, like, give each other a hug
38:55and be together and not have to worry about everything.
38:58I mean, it's just a beautiful moment.
39:00Can you believe it?
39:01How long have you envisioned this day?
39:14I never thought about when it was going to happen.
39:18I always believed that God would provide and make a way.
39:24So all the guys in my dorm, they came running up to the front,
39:28and they was all standing there when I was getting ready to walk out,
39:30and they were chanting, and they said,
39:32Don't forget us. Don't forget us. Don't leave us behind.
39:35And I really...
39:38It was a very emotional moment,
39:40because these are guys that I've been with now for 27, 28 months,
39:44and they've become my friends.
39:47I'm excited that my children have survived the most traumatic thing
39:52that's ever happened in our life.
39:54I'm excited for the world to finally know the truth.
39:59What was it like seeing Julie?
40:02Well, I know that, for me,
40:04that I have never loved but one woman in my life, and that's Julie.
40:08And I know the bond that she and I have,
40:10and that the time was not going to break that bond,
40:14but it didn't mean that it hurt any less.
40:16There were days that I felt like that I would not be able to get through that day.
40:21And I would go and work out, and I would walk, and I would pray.
40:25And I never felt like I was disconnected from her.
40:31I always felt like I was with her every day anyway,
40:34because I kept her in my heart at all times.
40:39And then now that you're out, what are we doing?
40:43I'm going to back out.
40:45When I'm finished, I will have opened up to you about everything.
40:57I will have given you everything in this chapter of our life,
41:00and then I will close it, and we will open a new one.
41:02How can Savannah know what place I'm in when Savannah doesn't even know me?
41:06I love her, but stay the out of my business.
41:08I just want her to leave me alone.
41:09Like, it's ridiculous.
41:10I can't go see my mom and my dad without it being uncomfortable because of her.
41:14We're blessed to have our family back, and we're blessed to be coming back to television,
41:20because we do have a much bigger story to tell.
41:22Julie and Todd being out does feel different.
41:26I have not seen Todd.
41:27I figure when he gets ready, he'll give me a call.
41:30What has it been like with having your parents home now?
41:33It sucks.
41:34You missed your dad, didn't you?
41:36I did.
41:37It's not when you get on your cleaning work high.
41:39You know, the rain's going to let up, and the sunshine's going to come out eventually.
41:44It's a lot.
41:47First few days were really tough, you know, especially my kids.
41:51I think they thought that I was going to be exactly the same as before I left.
41:57You can't go through something like that and not be changed.
42:00That's what I asked.
42:01I asked you, did you have one?
42:03And then you said, I don't know.
42:04You didn't ask me.
42:05You said, where's my garden?
42:06Why are we yelling?
42:08I found out through TikTok that my family was doing the show and that I was not a part
42:13of it.
42:14I think it was intentionally done the way it was done to leave me out.
42:18I'm getting pissed off.
