00:02:27Honey, I'm here.

00:02:36It's okay.

00:02:37I'm right here.

00:02:39Just remember the breathing, okay?

00:02:41You can do this, okay?

00:02:43Okay, Morgan, I need you to push on this next contraction, okay?

00:02:46I can't, I can't.

00:02:47Yes, you can do this, baby.

00:02:48I know you can do this.

00:02:49OK, good.

00:02:50Now push.

00:02:52Ah!

00:02:54Ah!

00:02:54Push.

00:02:55Good.

00:02:56Push, push, push.

00:02:58Almost there.

00:03:00You're doing it, baby.

00:03:01You're doing it.

00:03:02The hay's coming.

00:03:03Oh, Morgan, it's.

00:03:04I got him.

00:03:06I got him.

00:03:07Do you want to cut the cord?

00:03:08Yeah.

00:03:16OK, we do need to take him now.

00:03:32Can we just have a few minutes?

00:03:35I'm sorry.

00:03:36Do you remember what we talked about?

00:03:38Every minute matters.

00:03:39Yeah, OK.

00:03:43Yeah, OK.

00:04:03As we suspected from the prenatal ultrasound, Kevin's atrioventricular septal effect is

00:04:10allowing oxygen-rich blood.

00:04:13That's the red stuff you see here.

00:04:16It's allowing it to pass from his left atrium to his heart.

00:04:21We have to go into surgery right away.

00:04:31You'll put it on him soon.

00:04:34Yeah.

00:04:40Hey.

00:04:43You know, you and me, we've been together since we were 14 years old.

00:04:51And right now we're being tested.

00:04:54But I want you to know that I'm going to take care of you.

00:04:59And we're going to be OK, no matter what.

00:05:05Mr. and Mrs. Metzer, I'm very sorry.

00:05:20You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

00:05:33You make me happy when skies are gray.

00:05:38You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.

00:05:46So please don't take my sunshine away.

00:05:51You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

00:05:58My only sunshine, my only sunshine.

00:06:02You make me happy when skies are gray.

00:06:09You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.

00:06:15So please don't take my sunshine away.

00:06:24So please don't take my sunshine away.

00:06:44I'll take care of our folks when they get here.

00:06:55You want to go upstairs and rest?

00:06:56This morning, is she doing okay?

00:07:17She just needs her man.

00:07:18She's upstairs.

00:07:19Okay.

00:07:22Sorry, sorry.

00:07:23Sorry.

00:07:25It's not right, Rodney.

00:07:27It's not right.

00:07:29I'm going to rest your brother.

00:08:31Hey, hon. Smells great.

00:08:41Well, it better, because I had to start over twice.

00:08:46So how was your run this morning?

00:08:48It was good. Enlightening.

00:08:51Or at least trying to make it enlightening.

00:08:53Oh, yeah?

00:08:54Yes. And actually something I want to talk to you about.

00:08:58Uh, yeah. Me too. And I have some news that's not the good kind.

00:09:06Okay, you first.

00:09:09Apparently Daniel has been holding it against me that I missed so much time from work after the hospital.

00:09:17And he fired me.

00:09:19What?

00:09:22That's what I said, but there's no HR at the car lot, so there's not really anything I can do unless we want to hire an attorney and go through the expense of all that.

00:09:32But you needed me here, so whatever. Screw that guy.

00:09:37Well, what are we going to do about money?

00:09:40I'll get another job.

00:09:44You know, I always thought I could be good at interior design, so maybe now I could start that.

00:09:49Babe, come here. I got you.

00:09:52Man of the house, remember?

00:09:53Mm-hmm.

00:09:54Besides, I think you need a degree for any decent job in design.

00:09:58But don't worry. It's okay.

00:10:00We have plenty of dough in the trust fund. We're going to be fine.

00:10:05Oh.

00:10:06Anyway, what was your thing about?

00:10:09Oh, um...

00:10:12I just hope you like my new cranberry sauce.

00:10:16Must be a heck of a sauce. Let's try it.

00:10:18Hey, honey?

00:10:39Yeah?

00:10:40There is, uh, something I want to talk about.

00:10:45Sure what?

00:10:48Uh, it's kind of a big thing.

00:11:05Oh.

00:11:07I thought, you know, it's been a while and...

00:11:14I am so on board.

00:11:18And it's not just for fun.

00:11:26You know, I've been thinking that maybe the best way to heal is to keep trying.

00:11:32Oh.

00:11:37Say something.

00:11:37Well, I mean, that was always our dream.

00:11:43I guess...

00:11:43I guess it's just scary knowing that trying can lead to so much pain.

00:11:51I mean, but we still have to try, right?

00:11:53I mean, we at least...

00:11:54We owe ourselves that.

00:11:56You sure you're ready?

00:12:05Mm-hmm.

00:12:07Okay.

00:12:12Okay.

00:12:15Okay.

00:12:16Okay.

00:12:16Five more minutes.

00:12:40Mom!

00:12:41Emilio, you took my spaceman!

00:12:43Mason went sheriff me.

00:12:44You never share anything with me.

00:12:47Not you, Dad.

00:12:48Tell Mason to share.

00:12:49I don't care.

00:12:50Dad!

00:12:52I'm sorry, Mason.

00:12:53Share with your sister.

00:12:54Fine.

00:12:55Mom, can we have pancakes this morning?

00:12:57Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes.

00:13:00Oh, the tickle dragon is angry.

00:13:03Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:13:05Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:13:07Got you, got you.

00:13:08OK, OK, OK, I'm going to get on those pancakes.

00:13:09Where do you think you're going?

00:13:10You cannot escape the tickle dragon.

00:13:12Ah!

00:13:12Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:13:15Tickle, tickle.

00:13:16Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:13:17Ugh.

00:13:18Does Kevin like pancakes as much as us?

00:13:22Oh, I don't know, honey.

00:13:24He never got to try them.

00:13:28All right.

00:13:29Come on, you two hooligans.

00:13:30Get downstairs.

00:13:31Morgan?

00:13:33Morgan?

00:14:00Morgan?

00:14:02Morgan?

00:14:03Morgan?

00:14:04Do you want to finish your story?

00:14:06Oh, um, yeah.

00:14:08Um, I feel like I'm the only one who's trying to keep Kevin a part of our lives.

00:14:17You know, we bake a cake for him at every birthday.

00:14:21We sing and blow out candles.

00:14:24He's got a stocking at Christmas.

00:14:27Tell the twins about their big brother.

00:14:32Uh, the kids, they, they go along with it.

00:14:44You know, they sorta get it as much as they can.

00:14:47They ask about him sometimes.

00:14:50But Rodney, he just, he tolerates it.

00:14:56Those memories can take a toll on everyone.

00:15:00I know, I just, I feel so isolated.

00:15:05You know, I, I initially thought the kids could replace Kevin, but they didn't.

00:15:12And I don't work, so my life is just Rodney and the kids and, and those memories.

00:15:25Hey.

00:15:26Oh, hi.

00:15:27Um, I was just, uh, I dropped my keys and was just, uh, sorry for disturbing your story.

00:15:40I, I didn't mean to.

00:15:53No apology needed.

00:15:55Are you okay?

00:15:57Yeah.

00:15:58I mean, no, I'm not, but I need to be.

00:16:03You know, I got kids too, and after their mother, you know.

00:16:10I'm all I have.

00:16:12It must be really hard.

00:16:15You're doing a great job though.

00:16:18Yeah.

00:16:19Hiding in the parking lot.

00:16:21Instead of going home to make dinner for my kids.

00:16:24No, I mean, being here, coming to group.

00:16:27And look, it, it gets better.

00:16:30Not a lot, but enough to go on.

00:16:36My favorite spot is hiding in the closet.

00:16:39Lights off.

00:16:40Total darkness any time of the day.

00:16:45And hey, as for dinner, how about you surprise them with a few of these?

00:16:50Yeah, my kids love donuts.

00:16:52Well, you'll be a hero then.

00:16:58What about your twins?

00:17:00I still planning.

00:17:04Oh, I'm Griff, by the way.

00:17:06Griffith Walker.

00:17:07Morgan Metzer.

00:17:10You're a real life to her, Morgan.

00:17:15Anyway, I hope to see you around.

00:17:18Yeah, me too.

00:17:21Yeah.

00:17:22Me too.

00:17:23Ohhh.

00:17:29Aaah!

00:17:42Oh!

00:18:12It's good.

00:18:21Good.

00:18:23Because you belong like this.

00:18:42Where's your husband?

00:18:53Hey, guys.

00:18:54Hey, Mom.

00:18:56Hey, where have you been?

00:18:58I was at my Tuesday group.

00:19:01Is everything okay?

00:19:03Not really.

00:19:04I thought you were picking up the kids.

00:19:06Isn't Tuesday your day?

00:19:09Usually, but you said you could do it today.

00:19:11Don't you remember?

00:19:12Um, I always do group on Tuesday,

00:19:16and with it being Kevin's birthday this weekend,

00:19:17I don't know why I would tell you I'd skip it and pick up.

00:19:21Yeah.

00:19:23It's all good.

00:19:23Don't worry about it.

00:19:26Look, guys, I told you not to play with that

00:19:28when I'm not here.

00:19:29You leave it open, and it turns hard as rock.

00:19:32Sorry, Mom.

00:19:33Yeah, sorry, Mom.

00:19:37Kids, why don't you go upstairs and play for a little bit,

00:19:39and then we'll do dinner and donuts.

00:19:41Donuts?

00:19:42That's what I said.

00:19:43Okay, Mom.

00:19:44Go, go.

00:19:50I don't understand why this is such a big deal.

00:19:52It really shouldn't be.

00:19:54Okay, well, then what's wrong?

00:19:58Well, I had to leave work early to pick up the kids.

00:20:01No big deal, right?

00:20:02But then guess who calls 30 minutes later?

00:20:06Mr. Davis.

00:20:06And guess who's getting fired for cutting out early from work.

00:20:10Rod.

00:20:12Yep.

00:20:13Rod, I'm so sorry.

00:20:15I know you are.

00:20:16It's just...

00:20:16It is what it is.

00:20:19It is what it is.

00:20:33You okay?

00:20:36I've been better.

00:20:37You know, I don't like working for other people.

00:20:48Look at this.

00:20:52I've got $2.7 million in the trust.

00:20:55That's up 30%.

00:20:56That's a lot, right?

00:20:59That's pretty damn good.

00:21:01And I've been reading up on investing.

00:21:03I can save us on commissions

00:21:05and do just as well

00:21:07if I start managing the account myself.

00:21:09I can cover our mortgage

00:21:11and all our expenses.

00:21:13Yeah, I mean, if that's what you think is best,

00:21:15I'm with you.

00:21:17Of course you are.

00:21:30This guy can throw the ball for 91.

00:21:47His curve, unhittable.

00:21:49Well, and 400 on base,

00:21:50you should have been all state.

00:21:52Stop.

00:21:56Oh, man the grill, Pete.

00:21:57I'll be right back.

00:22:00Hey, everybody.

00:22:01Look who's here.

00:22:06Hey, babe.

00:22:06You okay?

00:22:08Got the cake?

00:22:10Uh, do you want me to put

00:22:11Kevin's beanie back on the mantle?

00:22:13It's his birthday.

00:22:16Yeah, I know, hon,

00:22:17but all our friends are here

00:22:19to celebrate with us.

00:22:20It's gonna be great, right?

00:22:22Here, let me get that for you.

00:22:23No, I got it.

00:22:23I'm just gonna put it in...

00:22:24I said no!

00:22:27Kevin's cake!

00:22:28It's okay.

00:22:29Hey, we could salvage this.

00:22:31It's okay.

00:22:34Just a little gram of tea, I'll see.

00:22:36Thanks, Linda.

00:22:38You can go play.

00:22:38It's okay.

00:22:39It's okay.

00:22:41Here.

00:22:44Go inside.

00:22:45Take a break.

00:22:47Pete, those burgers better not be burnt.

00:22:49Oh, hey.

00:23:06Uh, Nicole, from high school, right?

00:23:08You remembered.

00:23:10Yeah.

00:23:11I'm dating Tom Calloway.

00:23:13He's a friend of Rodney's, uh,

00:23:15from the baseball team.

00:23:16Yeah, sure.

00:23:17Rod loves his old baseball buddies.

00:23:18I love your place.

00:23:22Did you decorate yourself?

00:23:26Uh, yeah, and painted and did the wallpaper in the bathrooms.

00:23:29Wow.

00:23:30Okay.

00:23:30Well, you have a real talent.

00:23:35Seriously.

00:23:36Do you mind if I take pictures, uh, for inspiration?

00:23:41Yeah, sure.

00:23:42And thank you.

00:23:44Yeah, I always wanted to get into design.

00:23:47Stuck selling renter's insurance right now, though.

00:23:49Oh, really riveting step.

00:23:52Ha.

00:23:53Well, thanks.

00:23:57Happy birthday to you.

00:24:05You ready to do the release?

00:24:06Mm-hmm.

00:24:07Okay.

00:24:08Thank you, Mom.

00:24:14Ready?

00:24:15Yep.

00:24:19How are things, man?

00:24:34Like, for real.

00:24:42Um, well, Morgan...

00:24:45Well, it's just she's still on these pills.

00:24:51And, you know, she goes to therapy,

00:24:53which I used to think was a good idea.

00:24:56But now...

00:24:58I don't know.

00:24:59I mean, she says she wants to keep celebrating Kevin's birthday,

00:25:02but then...

00:25:04She shows up and she's a total mess.

00:25:07I...

00:25:08It's a lot.

00:25:13It's tough, dude.

00:25:14I'm sorry.

00:25:15Oh, hey, Kathy.

00:25:30That was very nice.

00:25:31Thank you for having us.

00:25:34Yeah, of course.

00:25:36I, of all people, know what it's like to lose a child.

00:25:40Anyway, I filled this up for you.

00:25:46I thought you might want to switch to water.

00:25:50Thanks.

00:25:53Morgan, we need to talk.

00:25:55Okay.

00:26:01What are you doing?

00:26:02I'm cleaning up.

00:26:03Can you stop for a second?

00:26:08Look, you show up late.

00:26:10You come in basically crying.

00:26:12You pick a fight with me.

00:26:14You're drinking too much.

00:26:15You're hanging all over my friends.

00:26:17What?

00:26:17I wasn't...

00:26:18I grew up.

00:26:20Okay?

00:26:20I expect you to do the same.

00:26:23Just stop acting like a crazy teenager.

00:26:25Just don't call me crazy.

00:26:27What was that?

00:26:29I said, don't call me crazy.

00:26:32You don't want me to call you crazy?

00:26:34Stop mixing wine and pills.

00:26:36Get off of me!

00:26:37Oh, my God.

00:26:38I'm so sorry.

00:26:39What the hell are you doing?

00:26:42Just go inside and sleep it off.

00:26:44I don't want the kids seeing you like this.

00:26:46Oh, my God.

00:26:56Morgan.

00:27:03Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:27:05She just hit me in the face with her water bottle.

00:27:09You need some ice, man?

00:27:11No, no.

00:27:11I'll be fine.

00:27:12I'm going to get you some ice.

00:27:13What the hell is wrong with her?

00:27:17It's been eight years and she's just acting like a crazy teenager.

00:27:20Why did Mom do that?

00:27:28Well, you know, sometimes when you guys act bad

00:27:30and Mommy and Daddy say you can't do that,

00:27:33that's all it was.

00:27:34Mommy was just acting bad today.

00:27:37But don't worry.

00:27:37Daddy's here.

00:27:38I love you so much.

00:27:40One last hug.

00:27:42Okay.

00:27:42Under the covers.

00:27:44Lights out.

00:27:44No treat tomorrow.

00:27:46Let's go, buddy.

00:27:47Good night.

00:27:49Good night.

00:27:50Good night.

00:27:53Are the kids okay?

00:27:54Should I go in?

00:27:55They're fine.

00:27:57I don't know what happened.

00:27:58I didn't mean to...

00:27:59You hit me in the face.

00:28:00I didn't mean to.

00:28:01All I want from you is an apology.

00:28:06I'm sorry.

00:28:07I'm sorry.

00:28:17You can do this.

00:28:19We have to go into surgery right away.

00:28:20Hey.

00:28:24She's...

00:28:25I can do this.

00:28:26I'm sorry.

00:28:26Did you see?

00:28:27She's...

00:28:28She's...

00:28:30She's...

00:28:31She's...

00:28:32She's...

00:28:33She's...

00:28:34Hey! Morgan? You burned off those donuts? I thought they were for your kids.

00:28:56Ouch.

00:28:59Yeah, no, I just hit myself when I was cleaning something.

00:29:04Hey, um, do you want to exchange numbers if I ever need some more advice or if I need a talk?

00:29:12It'll be the donut crisis hotline.

00:29:16Uh, yeah, sure.

00:29:19Yeah?

00:29:31Hey, guys.

00:29:32Hey, Mom!

00:29:34Hey, Rod.

00:29:37Is everything okay?

00:29:40Rodney.

00:29:41Huh? Uh, yeah.

00:29:44Yeah, all good.

00:29:47Oh!

00:29:49Hey!

00:29:50Hey, this isn't fair!

00:29:51Oh!

00:29:56Yeah.

00:29:58Do you want to tell me what's wrong? Maybe I can help.

00:30:05Sure. Let's see if you can help.

00:30:07Uh, so your trust account is overdrawn. Looks like there's interest.

00:30:18It means the money is gone. The trust is gone.

00:30:23How is that possible?

00:30:27Did you watch the news?

00:30:29Inflation, banks going under, the fed's been raising rates like crazy and we leveraged the trust to buy bonds back when rates were low.

00:30:38Now it's all, it's all just worthless.

00:30:40How does it, how does that even happen?

00:30:41You're not going to understand it, okay? The money is just gone.

00:30:44All right? It's, it's, it's, it's gone!

00:30:54Uh, we'll sell the house. I'll, I'll get a job. I mean, we'll figure it out, all right? We'll make it work.

00:30:59All right? We'll make it work.

00:31:30You have a beautiful house. Thank you for inviting me into it.

00:31:35And I would love to turn your house into a home where I can help you create the perfect warm family space for your baby and the newlywed couple.

00:31:43So let me show you what I mean. Um, this should be the nursery.

00:31:47You do not want to go up and down the stairs every time you have a wet diaper.

00:31:51And then down the road, you should transform this area to more of a mudroom.

00:31:55Uh, we could do lockers right there. I have twins. So whether it's soccer cleats or ballet shoes, you're going to need the space.

00:32:02And then I was thinking for the entryway, some runners, something durable though, something where you do not have to get down on your hands and knees to clean every month.

00:32:11And then the kitchen, I was thinking maybe more of a neutral palette with a backslash.

00:32:17All right. Now, if you're open to it, this color would be amazing in the entryway.

00:32:22Yes. And I mean, yes to working with you. I just, I love your vision for us and the house. And let's do it.

00:32:31Don't you need to ask your husband?

00:32:33Oh, no. He trusts me with all things house and home.

00:32:37Amazing. Then I will, um, get started right away.

00:32:40Great. We can find him.

00:32:41We can find him.

00:32:53Morgan?

00:32:55Oh, hey, Nicole.

00:32:56Hey.

00:32:57Good to see you again.

00:32:58Nice to see you. Are you, uh, redoing your kitchen or...?

00:33:01No, I actually started my own design company.

00:33:05You're, you're kidding.

00:33:07That is incredible.

00:33:09Yeah. And pretty scary.

00:33:10I just landed my first big job.

00:33:12A starter home for a family coming from a New York apartment.

00:33:14So they don't have a stick of furniture and the house is totally bare.

00:33:19I pitched them on having this whole company and how I could handle it all.

00:33:22But it's just me, so...

00:33:26Well, you've done it before. I've seen your house, remember, so...

00:33:31Are you still selling insurance?

00:33:33I am. Yeah. Yeah, I am. Even though it is wildly, wildly mundane.

00:33:41Would you want to work for me?

00:33:46Well, me? You're serious?

00:33:49Yeah.

00:33:50I...

00:33:53Yes, I would. Can I...

00:33:54Oh, my God.

00:33:55Oh, my God.

00:33:56Wait, when do I start?

00:33:57What?

00:33:58And you're starting right now because I just, I don't...

00:33:59Okay, so this is the pal that I was working for.

00:34:12Hey.

00:34:14Did you get a message?

00:34:15No, I've been working out. What's up?

00:34:16Babe, I won. I won it.

00:34:19Oh, Helen, that's... That's great.

00:34:20This one's so lovely.

00:34:21And the house, I mean, it's completely bare, but I mean, it's got natural light, there's an open floor plan.

00:34:27Hey, I actually have some good news, too. There's this equity firm in Dallas, and they're gonna fly me in for an interview.

00:34:34Rodney! Oh, my gosh, that's terrific, and you are so incredibly sweaty. But I don't even care, because I'm so proud of you.

00:34:43There's one thing. The interview's on Valentine's Day, so I would have to cancel our dinner.

00:34:47Okay. Yeah. No, that's good.

00:34:52Yeah? And you can watch the kids for a few days?

00:34:54Yeah. Yes. Yes. I can juggle the kids and the new job. Plus, I've got Nicole working for me now, too, so it'll help.

00:35:01Oh. You hired someone?

00:35:03Yeah. Your buddy Tom, his ex-girlfriend. All right, I'm gonna get dinner started for the kids.

00:35:08Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:35:13Mmm, thank you.

00:35:17Oh. Babe, the kids are just right inside.

00:35:21Let's celebrate.

00:35:26Okay, we'll just make it quick.

00:35:33Oh, Macy, come on. Please don't eat from there.

00:35:35All right, give me 15 minutes, and I'll have some dinner ready for you guys.

00:35:39Let's just order pizza!

00:35:41Yay!

00:35:42I love pizza!

00:35:43Can I have cheese, please?

00:35:44Can I have sausage, please?

00:35:45Sorry, guys. Your mom was too much of a horndog to make anything tonight.

00:35:50What's a horndog?

00:35:51I'll tell you when you're 18.

00:35:52I'll tell you when you're 18.

00:35:53I'll tell you when you're 18.

00:35:54I'll tell you when you were 18.

00:35:55I'm 20.

00:35:56I'm 20.

00:35:57I'm 20.

00:35:58I'm 20.

00:35:59I'm 20.

00:36:03I'm 25.

00:36:04It'll be 60 minutes.

00:36:18Oh, shoot, shoot.

00:36:20I like the gray one.

00:36:46That's good on you.

00:36:47Oh, you like a man in a suit, huh?

00:36:54What else do you like?

00:36:55I'm not really in the mood, babe.

00:36:57That's not what I'm getting from you.

00:36:59Rod, we just did it, okay?

00:37:00And hey, I don't like you talking like that in front of the kids.

00:37:02Oh, come on.

00:37:04Don't play coy.

00:37:06You know you like it when we mess around in the middle of the day.

00:37:09Right?

00:37:10We're in the car.

00:37:12I'm serious.

00:37:16Okay, fine.

00:37:17Pretend all you want.

00:37:18I actually have something serious I want to talk about, too.

00:37:22I know I'm going to be gone for Valentine's Day.

00:37:26But I did get you something.

00:37:33Rod.

00:37:34I'm going to be gone for a few days.

00:37:35You need to be able to protect yourself.

00:37:37We have kids.

00:37:37Come on.

00:37:38I don't want a gun in our house.

00:37:39Calm down.

00:37:40It has a trigger lock.

00:37:41It's fine.

00:37:42I need you and the kids safe.

00:37:45No matter what.

00:37:48Okay.

00:37:49Fine.

00:37:55You're welcome.

00:37:56Rod, I said I wasn't in the mood.

00:37:59Rodney?

00:37:59I said I was...

00:38:00Rodney.

00:38:02I don't...

00:38:03What are you doing?

00:38:06Rodney?

00:38:08Oh, my God.

00:38:38Okay, I think this palette is going to work really nicely together.

00:38:42So these.

00:38:43Oh, yeah.

00:38:43Definitely.

00:38:44I like that.

00:38:45Let's try for the living room.

00:38:49Do you ever treat yourself?

00:38:54Like a new car, maybe?

00:38:56Or, okay, a fancy dress?

00:38:59Or a trip to Italy?

00:39:02You know, whatever.

00:39:03Yeah, okay.

00:39:04Oh, my gosh.

00:39:05Well, your business is killing it.

00:39:08So, you should do something nice.

00:39:10Something for you.

00:39:11I mean, I would love a new purse.

00:39:14There you go.

00:39:15Something designer.

00:39:16Okay.

00:39:18That I buy with my own money.

00:39:22I've never done that before.

00:39:24Like, ever, really?

00:39:27Is that bad?

00:39:28I just, I've never had a job that paid that much.

00:39:29And Rod, he's from Family Money, so he was always in charge of the big purchases.

00:39:34But he never treats any of his stuff nicely.

00:39:38I guess when you're from money, you just expect that money is always going to be there.

00:39:41And then when it's not...

00:39:41Anyways, it's just, uh, it's just been hard for him.

00:39:49Yeah, but you make great money now, right?

00:39:51I mean, isn't he happy about that?

00:39:56Yeah.

00:39:57Yeah, he is.

00:39:57Morgan, is Rod?

00:40:08Hey, there he is.

00:40:11Did they love you in Dallas?

00:40:13Don't.

00:40:14What's wrong?

00:40:17This was in our mailbox.

00:40:22Know anything about this?

00:40:23I have no idea.

00:40:26This is a threat.

00:40:28You understand that, right?

00:40:29Rod, I said I don't know.

00:40:30Why else would somebody write this?

00:40:33Maybe it was a joke.

00:40:35It could have been an accident.

00:40:36They could have put that in the wrong mailbox.

00:40:37Could you give us some privacy, please?

00:40:38Rodney.

00:40:39I'm serious.

00:40:44Yeah.

00:40:53Are you being unfaithful?

00:40:57Of course not.

00:41:23We got a letter from the credit card company.

00:41:47Did you happen to take out a second card?

00:41:50Said there's already $7,000 on it.

00:41:52I bought some new tools for the carpentry business, remember?

00:41:56Your entrepreneurial spirit inspired me to start my own business.

00:42:00Yeah, right.

00:42:01I just, I don't remember us talking about a second card.

00:42:09Aren't you proud of me, honey?

00:42:12Rodney.

00:42:13You know, you didn't consult me when you hired Nicole.

00:42:16I'm being proactive.

00:42:18Yes, you are.

00:42:19Look, if you want to see every little receipt, I can bring out the itemized bill right now.

00:42:24Rodney, that's fine.

00:42:26No, Rodney, stop.

00:42:28No, no, no.

00:42:28You want to see your receipts.

00:42:29Stop, never mind.

00:42:29It's good.

00:42:29Smart.

00:42:30Stop.

00:42:30You want to see your receipts, that's good business.

00:42:32Rodney, stop.

00:42:32Never mind, okay?

00:42:36There's something more important anyway.

00:42:38I found a bag in the bathroom.

00:42:42It had steroids in it.

00:42:44Rod, that stuff's dangerous.

00:42:47Morgan, steroids.

00:42:50Come on, you know I'm diabetic.

00:42:51I know what your insulin looks like.

00:42:54This was different.

00:42:58You don't know what you're talking about.

00:43:01Rodney, we need to discuss this.

00:43:03Don't you dare emasculate me like that in front of the kids.

00:43:16Rodney.

00:43:17Look, I've been dealing with so much, and I've been shouldering it alone this whole time.

00:43:21The threatening letters, this new job, taking care of the kids because you're never around.

00:43:26You?

00:43:27I pick them up from school.

00:43:28I do their homework.

00:43:29I cook their meals.

00:43:30I take them to baseball.

00:43:31Oh, please, you're out there doing God knows what, or more like doing God knows who.

00:43:36Rodney.

00:43:37Look at you.

00:43:37I'm glad Kevin isn't here to see what his mother's become.

00:43:40Oh, no, no.

00:43:41No, you don't.

00:43:42No, you don't.

00:43:42You do not get to unload on me and then just walk away like that.

00:43:45Really?

00:43:46That's how low you're stooping, Kevin?

00:43:49Look, you want to start itemizing things?

00:43:52How about your new little credit card bill?

00:43:53Because it's not just tools, Rodney.

00:43:55It's movies and drinks and nights out with your baseball friends.

00:43:57It's none of your business.

00:43:58It's my money.

00:43:58It's my business.

00:43:59Oh, shut up.

00:44:00When I brought home the paycheck, I never would have said anything like that to you.

00:44:03Do you think I'm an idiot, Rodney?

00:44:04Seriously, Rodney, do you think I'm an idiot?

00:44:26Rod, are you okay?

00:44:27What the hell's wrong with you?

00:44:30Me?

00:44:31You're trying to kill me?

00:44:35Daddy, are you okay?

00:44:37It's okay.

00:44:38Daddy's okay.

00:44:39Mommy didn't mean to push me.

00:44:41She's just upset, okay?

00:44:42Me right there.

00:45:07Oh.

00:45:08Mom, Dad, what are you...

00:45:13Can we come in?

00:45:16How are you doing, honey?

00:45:17Honey?

00:45:17Can I get you anything?

00:45:35What?

00:45:38What?

00:45:45We know about the fight.

00:45:53We know things in marriage can be hard.

00:45:57Couples fight, but, um...

00:46:00But pushing them down the stairs?

00:46:04Honey, that is not how we raised you.

00:46:11Wait, what?

00:46:14I'm...

00:46:16I can't.

00:46:18Richard?

00:46:20Rod came over this morning.

00:46:22He's very concerned about himself, but also for the kids.

00:46:30You're not violent with that, are you?

00:46:33Why is everyone on his side?

00:46:34I would never do that.

00:46:36You know that.

00:46:37And Rod, he...

00:46:38Do you even want to hear my side of the story?

00:46:41We didn't raise a liar either.

00:46:44What?

00:46:45Rodney showed us the security footage.

00:46:47Seriously, Rodney, do you think I'm an idiot?

00:46:48Rodney, do you think I'm an idiot?

00:47:18I'm cleaning up.

00:47:18Morgan, come on.

00:47:21Have you been able to use them for any new work?

00:47:26It's tough out there, okay?

00:47:29How long are you going to pursue it, Rodney?

00:47:32What is this?

00:47:34Are you coming down on me because I haven't been able to find a job?

00:47:38Morgan, I have been out there every day submitting resumes.

00:47:42I'm talking to friends, colleagues.

00:47:44I'm on message boards.

00:47:46I even asked your dad for a job.

00:47:49Do you understand how that makes me feel?

00:47:53Why did you send him the video?

00:47:57Because I'm worried about you, Morgan.

00:47:59You've been violent.

00:48:02Erratic.

00:48:04Unfaithful.

00:48:05Rodney, I have never cheated on you.

00:48:07Never.

00:48:07So why would you set me up like that with my parents?

00:48:10Look, I didn't mean to hurt you.

00:48:14It's on camera.

00:48:16But that's not...

00:48:18I never intended to hurt you.

00:48:21You know that.

00:48:22No one is going to believe you.

00:48:30Everyone we know is friends with me.

00:48:32Not you.

00:48:34And if you ever try to leave me,

00:48:37they'll never let you keep the kids.

00:48:41Never.

00:48:42Never.

00:48:42Yeah, I like that.

00:48:54That's nice.

00:48:55Oh, what about this for the Allens?

00:48:58No, it's not upscale enough for what Jerry's looking for.

00:49:00She wants solids, whites, off creams.

00:49:04Elegant without being too showy.

00:49:05Yeah.

00:49:06Yeah.

00:49:09Oh, what about that?

00:49:10Is that elegant enough?

00:49:17Yes.

00:49:18Exactly.

00:49:22Oh, no.

00:49:24What?

00:49:26Oh.

00:49:27Come on.

00:49:29Come on.

00:49:29You deserve it.

00:49:31Just pick it up.

00:49:33Just try it.

00:49:33Just pick it up.

00:49:39She's cute.

00:49:39Oh, she's so cute.

00:49:41Okay.

00:49:42Okay.

00:49:42Yep.

00:49:50You guys almost done with your homework?

00:49:53Nice bag. Looks expensive.

00:50:15For new clients this month, we can afford a little luxury.

00:50:23How many glasses is that?

00:50:27It's apple cider.

00:50:30Mm-hmm.

00:50:34Who is Griff Walker?

00:50:36He's a friend from therapy. Why?

00:50:40A friend with a criminal record.

00:50:43Interesting choice.

00:50:46Oh, you didn't know that?

00:50:49What is this? Have you been looking through my phone?

00:50:52No, I didn't need to. I just needed to look at my phone.

00:50:56I was sitting here in my house with my kids, minding my own business, when I get this email.

00:51:07It's not Griff. He's not like that.

00:51:10Booming business. New purse. New man.

00:51:14Rod, not here. Please.

00:51:16When were you planning to tell all of us that you'd moved on?

00:51:19Griff is just a guy who lost his wife. Look, I barely know him. There's no affair. There never was.

00:51:24I can't trust you.

00:51:25Of course you can trust me.

00:51:27No, the signs were there all along. The drinking, the pills, you disappearing all day from me and the kids.

00:51:33I'm at work.

00:51:34Work? Your little interior design business? That's what you call a job?

00:51:40Give me a break. You're not a mother to these children anymore. You're not even a wife to me.

00:51:46I didn't choose this. Someone needed to make money.

00:51:49Oh, so now you're the victim. The cheater is the victim.

00:51:53Kids, clear the table. Dinner's ready.

00:51:58Okay.

00:52:21Trauma is real.

00:52:23When we suffer from trauma, we can sometimes find ourselves inviting in people, people who don't have our best interests at heart.

00:52:33Today, I want to talk about narcissists.

00:52:36Personalities who have an excessive interest in their own appearance, their own control over the world.

00:52:43They are entitled, lacking empathy.

00:52:47They lash out when threatened.

00:52:50Nothing is ever their fault.

00:52:53Bad outcomes are always the symptom of something someone else did.

00:52:57A narcissist has this compulsion for control.

00:53:05Sometimes, the only way to handle a narcissist is to give them that control they so desperately desire.

00:53:12Lend it to them for the short term, but do so knowing that the control you're giving them is only in their minds and not in yours.

00:53:22Oh, sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

00:53:39I didn't see you in group.

00:53:41Oh, I snuck in late. The kids have been so busy with school and sports. It's hard to find the time.

00:53:48Uh-huh. Um, look, I don't mean to sound crazy, but did you happen to write my husband, Rodney, an e-mail?

00:53:57Your husband?

00:54:00Yeah, um, did you tell him to back off so we could be together?

00:54:06So you put the letter in the mailbox, too?

00:54:13You serious?

00:54:15Well, did you?

00:54:17Morgan, I didn't e-mail your husband, and I haven't written a letter by hand in, I don't know, ten years?

00:54:25Listen, I thought we could help each other, but whatever's going on between you and your husband, just leave me out of it.

00:54:35Sorry, I am so sorry. Save your breath. They are long gone.

00:54:43Sorry.

00:54:45Don't be. We have a new client.

00:54:53Yes, I knew it, I knew it.

00:54:55I always said confidence is key, and look at that.

00:54:57You have it. You are the best.

00:54:59No, you are the best.

00:55:03Yes.

00:55:05Yes.

00:55:12Okay, I've got to ask, what is going on with you?

00:55:22You've been really off.

00:55:28No, I'm good. It's just, you know, with kids and sports and...

00:55:32Wasn't Rodney in Dallas for Valentine's?

00:55:46I'm really sorry.

00:55:52No, it... It must be the wrong year.

00:56:00Morgan...

00:56:02He is not a good partner, okay? I'm sorry, but someone needs to say it.

00:56:08It's... It's complicated.

00:56:14Yeah. Yeah, I know.

00:56:16But it's also really simple, okay?

00:56:18He's full of it, and he... He doesn't treat you well.

00:56:22I don't even know who I am anymore.

00:56:28I am a horrible mom. I am a horrible wife.

00:56:32No, don't say that. No, that's not true.

00:56:34You don't know what I've done.

00:56:35Look, you don't get it, all right?

00:56:37I... I pushed him down the stairs.

00:56:40What? I hit him.

00:56:42What?

00:56:43I did it at Kevin's birthday party. I hit him.

00:56:48Morgan.

00:56:48Morgan, please, you just don't get it, all right?

00:56:52No. Mm-mm.

00:56:56Okay, I do not need to relive that any more than I already did, okay?

00:56:58No. No, Morgan.

00:57:01That is not what happened.

00:57:02It was...

00:57:05Get off of me!

00:57:07Get off!

00:57:12What was that?

00:57:13I said, don't call me crazy.

00:57:15You don't want me to call you crazy?

00:57:19You don't want me to call you crazy?

00:57:19Stop mixing wine and pills.

00:57:21Get off of me!

00:57:31You hit me. Now get inside and don't make a scene.

00:57:33I never would have said anything like that to you.

00:57:41You think I'm an idiot, Rodney?

00:57:42I don't want me to call you crazy.

00:57:44Ah!

00:57:45Ah!

00:57:58Ah!

00:57:59Ah!

00:58:00Ah!

00:58:01Ah!

00:58:02Ah!

00:58:03Ah!

00:58:04Ah!

00:58:05Ah!

00:58:06Ah!

00:58:07Ah!

00:58:08Ah!

00:58:09Ah!

00:58:10Ah!

00:58:11Ah!

00:58:12Ah!

00:58:30Hey guys if i get me sick.

00:58:34Don't worry, Rodney, it's all strong, okay?

00:58:36Ah!

00:58:36Oh, my God.

00:59:06We'll be back in another bunker there, short line up.

00:59:08We can't try to come out soft and maybe run up to the hall.

00:59:14Rod, you should go.

00:59:17Morgan?

00:59:17I need to talk to my husband.

00:59:24Why?

00:59:32What?

00:59:33There's piss all over my purse.

00:59:36Maybe the cat pissed on him.

00:59:39For once in your life, stop lying.

00:59:46Oh, yeah.

00:59:47Yeah, so that's cat piss?

00:59:50I don't know.

00:59:51Maybe.

00:59:51Yeah, maybe.

00:59:53Maybe like how you lost your jobs.

00:59:55What are you talking about?

00:59:57It's always someone else's fault, isn't it, Rodney?

00:59:59Oh, I got another one.

01:00:01Remember when you went to Dallas for an interview over Valentine's Day?

01:00:06Or did you?

01:00:07Maybe instead, you spent the weekend playing golf.

01:00:10Oh, I'm such a fool.

01:00:16For all these years, you had me convinced that I was the broken one, the crazy one, the drunk

01:00:21one, the one who wouldn't move on from the memory of our son, the one who acted like a

01:00:26child and needed to grow up, that I was bad.

01:00:30Okay.

01:00:31So this is all my fault now.

01:00:35You know, Morgan, this is why marriages fail.

01:00:38Because you move on and you leave all of us behind.

01:00:41You go out and get your fancy new job and your new man.

01:00:46Please tell me, do you even care about this family anymore?

01:00:49You are still behaving like a child.

01:00:53This is your fault.

01:00:54It's not your fault.

01:00:56What?

01:00:57It's yours.

01:00:59Are you turning my own children against me, you ungrateful...

01:01:03Go away!

01:01:04Shut up, you little brat!

01:01:05Hey, no!

01:01:06You do not touch him and you do not get to talk to any of us like that anymore.

01:01:12Oh, yeah?

01:01:13Yeah.

01:01:13Or what?

01:01:15I want a divorce.

01:01:19Let's go, let's go.

01:01:23Let's get in the car.

01:01:24Come on, baby girl, hustle up.

01:01:30All right, come on, let's go, get in the car.

01:01:33Here, get in, baby.

01:01:37Morgan, stop!

01:01:39Morgan, don't do this.

01:01:40Rodney, stop.

01:01:41No, no, no, no.

01:01:42Rodney, please, stop.

01:01:42Come back inside, let's talk about this.

01:01:45Stop this, Rodney!

01:01:45Please don't leave me!

01:01:46Rodney, we're done.

01:01:48Please, we're done.

01:01:49man, don't but amなので.

01:01:51I'll, we're done.

01:01:52Please, we're done.

01:01:53Tell me.

01:01:53I'll do it.

01:02:08Rob.

01:02:14Hey, man.

01:02:15Bye.

01:02:18Bye.

01:02:19Bye.

01:02:19Oh my gosh, Mason, do not eat that.

01:02:47That frosting is like blue.

01:02:49Come on in.

01:03:10Hey guys.

01:03:11Merry late Christmas.

01:03:12Merry Christmas, Dad.

01:03:14Hi, buddy.

01:03:15Hi.

01:03:16You guys ready for a road trip?

01:03:18Lizzie's is so far away.

01:03:20Well, maybe these will help.

01:03:22No way.

01:03:23This is amazing, Dad.

01:03:25The batteries are charged and ready to go.

01:03:27Thank you, Dad.

01:03:30I will go get the kids stuff.

01:03:33One, two, three, four shirts.

01:03:47You know I could fix that floorboard?

01:03:49That's okay.

01:03:50I actually like it.

01:03:51It lets me know when the kids try to sneak downstairs to get ice cream.

01:03:54Hmm.

01:03:55Rodney seems, um, normal-ish.

01:04:00Yeah.

01:04:01No, he's been really great, actually.

01:04:03Um, it's his week with the twins, but when my sister called asking if they could visit for Christmas,

01:04:08he gave up his time so they could go.

01:04:11Hmm.

01:04:13And you're going on this drive with him to Florida?

01:04:17Uh-huh.

01:04:19And after you drop off the kids, Rod is driving you back?

01:04:28Are you sure you want to be alone with him for two hours?

01:04:32He's turned over a new leaf, okay?

01:04:34It'll...

01:04:35It'll be good for us.

01:04:37Yeah.

01:04:44You want me to get this?

01:04:46Yeah.

01:04:47Thanks.

01:04:48Mm-hmm.

01:05:02It looks like your business has been doing really well.

01:05:09I see your ads on Facebook all the time.

01:05:13Yeah, it's been great.

01:05:18I'm proud of you.

01:05:26I'm...

01:05:27I'm glad you're good, too, Rod.

01:05:29It's okay.

01:05:30You don't have to...

01:05:31I mean, really, I mean, you've...

01:05:32You've cleaned up.

01:05:33You've been nice to the kids.

01:05:35I'm really happy you're thriving.

01:05:49Thank you again for driving.

01:05:52Um, I'd like to get the kids through the first week of school after break, but I, uh,

01:05:57I could give them back the second.

01:05:59It might be better if you just keep them through January.

01:06:06Is everything okay?

01:06:09I'm not...

01:06:11I'm not okay.

01:06:15You know you can still tell me anything.

01:06:17I have cancer.

01:06:26Pancreatic cancer.

01:06:27It's...

01:06:32stage three and two, and the doctors say it's still confined to the pancreas.

01:06:39But the tumor's grown, and it's spreading to the lymph nodes.

01:06:52I'm not gonna beat it.

01:06:54No.

01:06:55No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:06:56It's...

01:06:57It's okay.

01:06:58You're gonna be okay.

01:06:59I'm so sorry.

01:07:01I should've been a better father and a better husband.

01:07:05It's okay.

01:07:08Yep.

01:07:09I'm sorry I lost it like that.

01:07:10No, it's...

01:07:11It's okay.

01:07:12Hey, you should know, um, I put my affairs in order.

01:07:14I don't have a lot, but you and the kids will collect all my insurance.

01:07:15Please don't give up like that.

01:07:16Look, there's chemo, surgery, radiation.

01:07:17Rodney, you can beat this.

01:07:18You were always so positive.

01:07:20I don't know.

01:07:21I'm so sorry.

01:07:22I'm sorry I lost it like that.

01:07:23I'm sorry I lost it like that.

01:07:24No, it's...

01:07:25it's okay.

01:07:26Hey, you should know...

01:07:27Um...

01:07:28I put my affairs in order.

01:07:30I don't have a lot, but...

01:07:31you and the kids will collect all my insurance.

01:07:32Please don't give up like that.

01:07:33Look, there's...

01:07:34chemo, surgery, radiation.

01:07:36Rodney, you can beat this.

01:07:38You're always so positive.

01:07:44Even when we lost Kevin.

01:07:47It was a disaster.

01:07:49No. You took it head-on.

01:07:52I just hid from it.

01:07:56Well, we've been through a lot, so...

01:08:00Yeah.

01:08:04Hey, um...

01:08:06Do you think maybe if...

01:08:09the chemo and radiation stuff all works...

01:08:14maybe you and I could work, too?

01:08:20Rad, I'm here for you.

01:08:22Through it all.

01:08:27But only as a friend.

01:08:31Good night.

01:08:44No.

01:08:53I don't see anything.

01:08:54I don't know.

01:08:56I don't know.

01:08:57I can't.

01:08:58Even in the morning.

01:08:59I can't be the only one.

01:09:00Even in the morning.

01:09:01I mean, I can't be the only one.

01:09:03I don't know.

01:09:04Like, you're pretty.

01:09:05With that, I can't be the only one.

01:09:37Mm-hmm.

01:10:07Mm-hmm.

01:10:09Mm-hmm.

01:10:39Mm-hmm.

01:11:09Mm-hmm.

01:11:39Mm-hmm.

01:11:41Mm-hmm.

01:11:43Mm-hmm.

01:11:45Mm-hmm.

01:11:47Mm-hmm.

01:11:49Mm-hmm.

01:11:51Mm-hmm.

01:11:55Mm-hmm.

01:11:57Mm-hmm.

01:11:59Mm-hmm.

01:12:01Mm-hmm.

01:12:11Mm-hmm.

01:12:13Mm-hmm.

01:12:17It's good.

01:12:23Good.

01:12:24Because you belong like this.

01:12:35Where's your husband?

01:12:37I don't know.

01:12:38I don't know.

01:12:41Where is your husband?

01:12:47Please, please, don't kill myself.

01:13:03Please, please.

01:13:04I love him more than anything.

01:13:05Please, I love him more than anything.

01:13:07Please, don't kill him.

01:13:08Please.

01:13:09You love him?

01:13:11Of course, of course I do.

01:13:13I love him so much.

01:13:14Please.

01:13:15You love him?

01:13:15Yes, please.

01:13:18Don't kill him, please.

01:13:22Where's your jewelry?

01:13:24I don't have any.

01:13:35Don't move.

01:13:45I...

01:13:46I...

01:13:47Please.

01:13:57You don't have to do this.

01:14:07Please.

01:14:08I don't have to do this.

01:14:12I don't have to be...

01:14:17I don't have to do this.

01:14:20Please, help me.

01:14:22I don't have to be...

01:14:23I don't have to be...

01:14:23Don't move until you hear a horn honk three times, or I'll kill you.

01:14:53Honey, it's okay, you're safe, I'm here, I'm right here.

01:15:18There, is that better?

01:15:23When I find out who did this, I'm gonna kill him.

01:15:27I'm just glad you got here when you did.

01:15:30Yeah, me too.

01:15:33Can I have your phone?

01:15:35I'm gonna call my dad.

01:15:36Yeah, of course.

01:15:39We should call the police too.

01:15:42Yeah, good idea.

01:15:46Good evening, Rodney Metzer.

01:16:02Yes sir, I was the one that called.

01:16:05We were told there was a break-in?

01:16:07Yes, there was.

01:16:10But, you know, everything's fine now.

01:16:12We're okay.

01:16:13Thanks for being here so quickly.

01:16:15Yeah, well, can you tell us a little more about what happened?

01:16:19Yeah, sure, of course.

01:16:20It's just, you know, everything's calmed down now.

01:16:24We're, you know, it's late.

01:16:27Uh, we're safe now.

01:16:31What was that?

01:16:33I don't know.

01:16:40I'm sorry, I was, um, I was trying to stand.

01:16:43I'm still just a little bit woozy.

01:16:45Oh, jeez.

01:16:46Rick, call medical and a detective.

01:16:48We need them right away.

01:16:49Yeah.

01:16:50And, uh, can you sweep the exterior just in case?

01:16:52Yeah.

01:16:53I'm sorry, ma'am.

01:16:54We did not understand how serious this was.

01:16:56Yeah, uh, um, someone broke in.

01:16:59She was attacked, but we're okay now.

01:17:08Ma'am, can you tell me anything else?

01:17:12I was in the bedroom.

01:17:14He was, um, wearing a mask.

01:17:17Um, he had a gun.

01:17:20I think, I think it was my gun.

01:17:24He assaulted me.

01:17:28Yeah, uh, when I got here, she was on the deck, terrified.

01:17:34And, um, I must have scared them off just in time.

01:17:38I, I, I don't know where they went.

01:17:41So you were not here during the attack?

01:17:43Oh, no, no.

01:17:44I don't, I don't live here.

01:17:45We're separated.

01:17:50I understand.

01:17:51But it's a good thing I got here when I did.

01:17:53Otherwise, who knows what could have happened.

01:17:56Jones, there's no sign of anyone on the property.

01:17:58Basement door is open, though.

01:18:00Mr. Metzer, why don't you go with Officer McLaughlin.

01:18:05Show him where you found Mr. Metzer.

01:18:06I really want to see you.

01:18:07Please, you can take him through everything, moment by moment.

01:18:09It will help us tremendously.

01:18:10Yeah, of course.

01:18:12Ma'am, you can talk to me.

01:18:13Do you know who did this?

01:18:17Is he still on?

01:18:18I don't know.

01:18:19I don't know.

01:18:20He might be.

01:18:21He might be.

01:18:22Okay.

01:18:24Wait right here.

01:18:25Like I said, if I hadn't got here, who knows what might have happened.

01:18:35It was very brave, Mr. Metzer.

01:18:36Do you have any idea who might have done this?

01:18:39Oh, actually, yeah.

01:18:40Before the divorce, there was this guy, Griff Walker.

01:18:45He was obsessed with Morgan.

01:18:46He would call and text her.

01:18:47And me.

01:18:48I don't know.

01:18:49I don't know.

01:18:50I don't know.

01:18:51I don't know.

01:18:52He might be.

01:18:53Okay.

01:18:55Wait right here.

01:18:57Like I said, if I hadn't got here, who knows what might have happened.

01:19:00He was very brave, Mr. Metzer.

01:19:03and he would call and text her all the time.

01:19:07And then it got worse.

01:19:08He sent some threats in the mail.

01:19:10He even emailed me and told me to leave her.

01:19:13Really?

01:19:14Do you still have these emails?

01:19:17Oh.

01:19:18Yeah, that's it right there.

01:19:22Sick bastard.

01:19:24Can I hold on to this?

01:19:25Yeah, definitely.

01:19:27I want to give this to the detectives when they get here.

01:19:30Can you take us upstairs to the bedroom?

01:19:32Yeah.

01:19:33Sure.

01:19:36You know, you two go on up.

01:19:37I'm right behind you.

01:19:38I'm going to send this right away.

01:19:39I'm going to send this right away.

01:19:41Okay.

01:19:41I'm going to send this right away.

01:19:43I don't know.

01:20:13I thought you were taking us upstairs.

01:20:35Yeah.

01:20:36Yeah.

01:20:37I just need to be with Morgan right now.

01:20:42Of course.

01:20:44How about you and I go up?

01:20:46And Rick here can keep her company.

01:20:48No.

01:20:49She's scared.

01:20:50I think she needs me, okay?

01:20:52It's okay.

01:20:53I can go up there with you.

01:20:55You sure?

01:20:57Yeah.

01:20:59I'm good.

01:21:00I guess the guy tried to rob the place too.

01:21:13You'll have to ask Morgan about jewelry and stuff.

01:21:17Yeah, you didn't...

01:21:19You didn't take much.

01:21:21Don't worry, man.

01:21:22We're gonna get this guy.

01:21:24I'm just glad you arrived when you did, sir.

01:21:27Yeah, me too.

01:21:29Otherwise, my kids might not have a mother right now.

01:21:32Isn't that a terrible thought?

01:21:37How did you even think to come here tonight?

01:21:40Uh...

01:21:42Well, I was in my place and I got this strange call.

01:21:47Just breathing on the other end of the line.

01:21:52And I got this weird feeling and...

01:21:55I just felt like I had to come check on her.
