00:00It was this complete and utter shock.
00:02The jury reached a verdict.
00:04Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.
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? This 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,
00:24trying to get my parents home,
00:25and if I meet the right person who's willing to help,
00:29then 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
00:36they needed to be on call
00:37because Crisley was getting pardoned.
00:39Maybe it is happening.
00:41We all kind of went into an excited panic.
00:44Hello.
00:45Hi.
00:46Anything about the pressure?
00:47No, but I haven't told anybody.
00:50Well, you ain't gonna have to.
00:51The moment they release it, I'm here.
00:53Of course, I hope the pardon happens,
00:55but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.
00:56You gotta get the most powerful man in the world
01:00to sign off on something.
01:02It's pretty hard.
01:03I feel like we're right on the cuffs,
01:05but I know we're close, and it's gonna happen.
01:07Breaking news.
01:21Former reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley free.
01:25President Trump said he's pardoning them.
01:28Your parents are gonna be free and clean,
01:30and 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. Chrisley.
01:43She would like to talk to you.
01:47Hello.
01:48Hey.
01:49Hey.
01:49Okay, do you know anything?
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.
01:57Okay, what's that, 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 gosh.
02:09He called me and said...
02:10I got a call that said the president would like to speak with you,
02:14and I spoke to him for, like, ten minutes.
02:19He gave y'all full, unconditional pardons
02:23so this family can get their life back.
02:26Oh, my gosh.
02:27That's amazing.
02:28Yeah, yeah.
02:30Okay, so what do I need to be from?
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 that the pardon happened,
02:41I was honestly at an all-time low.
02:43I just had gotten to a place in life
02:46to where I was like,
02:47I have worked tooth and nail for the past two and a half years
02:50to try and get my parents home,
02:52and it seems like nothing is working.
02:55I had pretty much just thrown my hands up in the air
02:58and said, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen,
02:59but there's nothing more that I can do.
03:02That morning, Grace and I went to play golf.
03:04We left the golf course.
03:06I get a text from Margo,
03:08who is one of the president's right-hand girls,
03:12and she was like,
03:12I don't want to waste much time.
03:13The president would like to speak with you.
03:15And I immediately was like,
03:18oh, my gosh.
03:19Like, this is happening.
03:20This is happening now.
03:22So we sat in the car,
03:23and that's when the president told us
03:25that he was signing the pardon paperwork
03:29for both mom and dad.
03:32I'd say it's real this time
03:34because it's not every day that the president calls you.
03:38It was just very chaotic
03:39because we had to go back to the house
03:41and start cleaning, getting the room ready,
03:43getting clothes ready,
03:45and figuring out who was going to go get who.
03:48I got a call from Savannah
03:49saying that the pardons were signed,
03:51and five minutes later,
03:53it was all over the news.
03:57All my friends are, like, tweeting
04:00that it's all over the news.
04:01Look at Frankie and Jason.
04:02I'm telling you, like, I'm just...
04:04I was in such a shock.
04:06Can you believe it here?
04:08Huh?
04:08Can you believe it?
04:09No.
04:10I'm freaking out.
04:11Let's go, baby.
04:19What's up?
04:19I'm getting ready.
04:22Do you have any date for anything?
04:24No, I'm just trying to get a ride.
04:28Why is this lined up?
04:29No, it's not.
04:30He's not available.
04:31I spoke to him.
04:32Steve?
04:32Yeah.
04:37Oh, it's on the news.
04:38Hello.
04:38Well, this just in,
04:40President Trump is set to pardon reality TV stars
04:43Julie and Todd Chrisley.
04:45He will be granting three pardons,
04:47adding Trump knows best.
04:50It's official.
04:51He did it today in this conversation,
04:53a phone call that he had there
04:54with their daughter, Savannah,
04:55who's been very outspoken
04:57over the last few years
04:59about her parents' conviction,
05:00and now it's official President Trump
05:02deciding to pardon
05:04Todd and Julie Christie.
05:11Chase?
05:13Chase?
05:14My parents are coming home,
05:16so thank you, Mr. President.
05:18We appreciate you.
05:19We support you.
05:20And thank you
05:22for putting my family back together.
05:25Fist pump.
05:29It was just very chaotic.
05:45Savannah and Tyler went and got my dad.
05:47We are here.
05:48We're hiding out.
05:50I'm security.
05:51I'm freaking out, y'all.
05:52Dad's coming home.
05:54Me, Pamela, my cousin,
05:56and her boyfriend
05:56went and got my mom.
05:59Tyler and I got up.
06:01We went and got a rental car
06:02at a rental car place
06:03close to the prison.
06:04We waited literally all day long.
06:06Get any updates, let me know.
06:08Because they're telling me,
06:09you know, it's past their 5 o'clock,
06:11so they basically said
06:13if nothing happened by 5,
06:14and then we came up here,
06:16and so now they're staying,
06:17and they're like,
06:18well, I'm normally home by now.
06:20I mean, we'd get updates
06:21every now and then,
06:22but it was like it'd only be like
06:23two more hours,
06:25and then two hours would pass,
06:26and then it would be like,
06:27it's only going to be two more hours.
06:29So it seemed like
06:29it just kept getting pushed back.
06:32And then I got word
06:33from the White House
06:34that the president
06:34was signing the documents
06:36at 3 p.m. Eastern time,
06:38and he signed it
06:40within that 3 p.m. hour,
06:41and then that's when
06:43I got the photos.
06:44Tell Grayson.
06:44We're sending Grayson something.
06:46I'm sending Grayson something.
06:48He signed it?
06:50He signed!
06:52Literally signing it.
06:56Let's go!
06:57Wait, is it?
06:59Yep.
07:01Let's go!
07:03Bad ass.
07:03At that point,
07:06then we were like,
07:06all right,
07:06this is happening
07:07like any minute.
07:08We're going to continue
07:09monitoring the situation,
07:10kind of watching for any cars
07:12that are coming in and going,
07:13hoping to see Chrisley come out.
07:16We are currently sitting
07:18in the Dollar Tree parking lot
07:21by the dumpsters
07:22in our rental car.
07:24We're trying to hide.
07:25There is so much press around.
07:28We're literally, what,
07:29maybe half a mile
07:30from the prison,
07:31and there's probably
07:3230 cars out there waiting.
07:34I just got a text
07:35that Dad should be out
07:36by the 4 o'clock count.
07:38And what time is it?
07:39It is 3.13.
07:41I have fought tooth and nail
07:44for this.
07:46My dad's my best friend
07:47in the entire world,
07:48and I know it sounds stupid,
07:50but literally I was like,
07:52I have got to get my dad out
07:53before I get married
07:54or before I have kids
07:55or he can't be almost 70
07:57coming home.
07:58Literally 45 minutes out,
08:00I 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
08:25and she said,
08:26Nanny, you've got to come home now.
08:28I said, oh my God,
08:29what's happened?
08:31She 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
08:46and I throwed my clothes
08:47in that duffel bag,
08:49and I was down that road.
08:51And I praised God
08:53all the way home.
08:55And I hate that I'm emotional,
08:57but I can't help it.
09:08Security.
09:09I was doing a little dusty,
09:10but it's okay.
09:10Why y'all got security?
09:12Because my parents are coming home
09:13and there's people outside
09:14waiting to film them,
09:16and they're like,
09:17and I had to hide myself
09:18like this,
09:20so they couldn't get me
09:22and I can only take like right here.
09:24So I go like that
09:25and their camera was 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.
09:40You know what?
09:41I said, Chase,
09:42I'm waiting for you.
09:44I'm not waiting for you.
09:46I don't know.
09:47Chase!
09:49Chase was supposed to be included,
09:51but Chase left the house
09:53for some reason.
09:55I mean, at that point,
09:55that's on him.
09:56If you're not there,
09:57then 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
10:10for it to play out.
10:11No one really had
10:12the emotional capacity
10:14or want to have to deal
10:16with Chase and all of his
10:17crazy 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
10:51any last night.
10:53I'm so happy.
10:54You know,
10:56your daddy called me
10:57when I left that casino
10:59and I was throwing
10:59my pocketbook in the car.
11:01My phone rang.
11:02I looked down.
11:03Todd.
11:04I said,
11:05oh, he said,
11:05you happy, mama?
11:06I said,
11:06I'm so happy
11:07I don't even know
11:08if my skin can hold myself.
11:11I said,
11:11I was crying.
11:12I said,
11:13not from being sad,
11:14but from joy.
11:16And, you know,
11:17my little granddaughter,
11:18she did work very hard.
11:23And I'm going to give her
11:24credit for that.
11:25But we all worked hard.
11:27But we let her be
11:28the batter.
11:33That's what we let her do.
11:35Now, she don't think
11:36she did it by herself,
11:37but we let her be the batter.
11:39I'm focusing on the positive.
11:41I'm pissed off
11:42for the way that
11:43this whole travel situation
11:45has been handled.
11:46Savannah was the one
11:47that got to make the decision
11:50on who was going
11:50to pick up my parents.
11:52I don't think
11:52it was handled well.
11:54I guess it happened so fast.
11:56I guess it wasn't thinking
11:57about who was going
11:59to go get them.
11:59And I wasn't there.
12:01Probably if I'd have been home
12:02and I demanded to go,
12:05I probably would go.
12:06Did you want to be included
12:07on the plans
12:08to go pick up Julie?
12:09I did want to.
12:11I have said that
12:12since day one
12:13that we took,
12:14when we took her,
12:14the day that we took her
12:16and I saw her walk up
12:18that sidewalk,
12:20I said,
12:22I hope and pray
12:23that that day
12:24that she gets out,
12:26that I can be here
12:27to see her walk
12:28back 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
12:39to talk about.
12:41My grandparents
12:42weren't included
12:42and picking them up
12:44because, I mean,
12:45it would have been
12:45too much for them.
12:46I mean,
12:47we slept in the car,
12:48waited for hours
12:49and hours and hours.
12:51It just would have been
12:51too 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
13:02to have seen my mom
13:03or dad walk out of there.
13:04Yeah, I would too,
13:05but we're going to get
13:07a walk to see them
13:07in that door.
13:08But yet,
13:10Pamela 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
13:22it 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.
13:28100%.
13:29What did I tell you
13:30on the phone?
13:31That y'all should have been
13:31the main priority.
13:34And you know
13:35I'm the Queen,
13:35so I don't know
13:36what the hell
13:36they talk about.
13:37I think they doped up
13:39or something.
13:39I think you might be
13:40drinking that same
13:41Kool-Aid Savannah's drinking.
13:42No, I'm not.
13:44Mm-mm.
13:45Not me.
13:45I don't drink that s***.
13:47Mm-mm.
13:50And 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't handle.
13:59Hey, 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 him yesterday.
14:33Oh, my goodness.
14:34I got chills up my spine
14:35just hearing that news.
14:40Who was that?
14:41I got a girl
14:43that I'm a woman
14:44that works at Marshalls.
14:46So, yeah.
14:50What is all this?
14:51Them's all my friends and fans.
14:54What are they calling you about?
14:56The great news
14:58that 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
15:11and especially you.
15:14Yeah.
15:17Nanny,
15:17when I saw it on the TV,
15:19you know,
15:19when it came up breaking news?
15:21Mm-hmm.
15:22Listen, I got to tell you,
15:23I was freaking out.
15:24Well, think about me
15:25sitting up there
15:26in a damn casino.
15:28Waiting patiently, okay?
15:31Yeah.
15:31We slept here in the car
15:33and we're waiting
15:34for our news.
15:36All right.
15:36Okay, I love you.
15:38Love you.
15:38Let us know
15:39so you find out
15:40because, you know,
15:41I'm sitting here
15:42and anxiety's built up
15:44really bad.
15:45I ain't slept on me.
15:48I love you.
15:49You about got her?
15:50No, I don't know nothing.
15:52Everybody's calling me.
15:53Well, we just want to know.
15:56Well, 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 Perl was there.
16:10I'm sorry,
16:10I think he was signing
16:11executive orders.
16:12He was asked
16:14about whether he would pardon
16:15and let's put up
16:17the headline.
16:18Hell, I don't know
16:18if they're going
16:19to let him out or not.
16:21I kind of want to give you
16:22the lay of the land here
16:23outside of the prison
16:25here 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.
16:31We've got people
16:31from local here
16:33in Northwest Florida
16:33all the way
16:34to some national folks.
16:36The papers state
16:37that they must be
16:38released immediately.
16:40And there was press
16:41everywhere at the prison.
16:44And the prison
16:44was giving me
16:46a hard time
16:46about letting dad out.
16:47So that's when I went out
16:48in front of the prison.
16:49Thank you so much.
16:52It's 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.
17:04My 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.
17:13And 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.
17:26And within 30 minutes
17:27from that press conference,
17:29probably like
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.
17:45It just hit.
17:46So you should be
17:47getting a 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.
18:00Thanks.
18:03Can you believe it?
18:05Oh, thank the Lord.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:09Oh, my God.
18:11Should I flip it around at all?
18:12No, just let him.
18:13Let's go.
18:15I'll let the dodge draw.
18:16Hang on.
18:18I got it back.
18:21It's happening.
18:26We're going.
18:27It's happening.
18:28It's happening.
18:28It's happening.
18:28It's happening.
18:29It's happening.
18:29It's happening.
18:30It's happening.
18:30It's happening.
18:30It's happening.
18:30We are following the Navy police
18:34out of the prison.
18:36The last time I have to see this place.
18:39I know I'm already crying.
18:57I know I'm already crying.
18:58I can't.
18:59I can't.
19:01Oh, my God.
19:03I have to be almost
19:04well behind that.
19:05I've heard.
19:07Are they coming out that door?
19:08Oh, they're going to come out there.
19:12Video it.
19:13Oh.
19:21Video it.
19:22I don't know.
19:22I don't know.
19:22I don't know.
19:51and we'll put that thing up.
19:55We're ready.
19:59Todd, you're out.
20:05Oh my God.
20:07It's done.
20:07I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
20:09I'm in a rush, I'm in a rush, I'm in a rush.
20:11Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
20:17They're, they're getting hurt.
20:19The last time I was in this space
20:24was when I was dropping my dad off at prison.
20:26And now I'm in this space watching him come back to us,
20:31watching him come home, watching him have a clean slate.
20:35So it's extremely overwhelming
20:39to realize where we've once been and now where we're at.
20:49Hello, President Trump.
21:00Congratulations.
21:01Thank you very much.
21:02Congratulations.
21:04You have a great family, they've fought hard,
21:06your son and your daughter, and they've fought hard.
21:10Good luck to both of you.
21:11You're looking good.
21:13Well, I just want you to know that we have been huge Trump supporters forever,
21:20but you've given me back the only thing I've ever cared about in my life,
21:24which is my wife and my children.
21:26I just want you to have a good life.
21:27Your daughter was fantastic.
21:29She did such a job and you're so awesome.
21:31That's your best work.
21:34Exactly, 100%.
21:36I just want to tell you from the bottom of my heart that I am grateful
21:39and I will always be grateful.
21:41That's fantastic.
21:42Thank you so much.
21:46God bless.
21:48How are you guys feeling?
21:51Just ready to see it.
22:02Like, don't say anything.
22:04Like, don't talk.
22:05Take care.
22:06Take care.
22:07How much can you eat?
22:09All of these.
22:11All of them.
22:23I'm there.
22:23Oh, my God.
22:45Watching my mom walk out is an amazing feeling.
22:48I mean, it's what you've been waiting on for three years.
22:53Oh, my gosh.
23:15Oh, my gosh.
23:17Okay.
23:19All right.
23:20When will you be home?
23:21I know.
23:22I can't hear you.
23:23I don't know.
23:25Maybe 6 out of 1230.
23:28Okay.
23:33We're on our way home.
23:37I miss you so much.
23:39I can't even sit at home.
23:40Seeing mom and dad see each other for the first time is extremely overwhelming and emotional
23:46because they didn't see each other for years.
23:51Where are y'all?
23:53Pizza Hut.
23:57Oh, my gosh.
23:58Okay.
23:59All right.
24:00I can't wait to see you.
24:02She can't hear you.
24:03I'll call y'all back.
24:04I love you.
24:05I love you.
24:06I love you.
24:07All right.
24:08I'll call y'all back.
24:09I'll call you back.
24:10All right.
24:11Bye.
24:11Bye.
24:13Bye.
24:14Bye.
24:14Bye.
24:15Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:16Bye.
24:22Who just texted you?
24:25My dad.
24:25What did he say?
24:29This is your dad, and I'm so thankful for all that you are doing for me.
24:35I can't wait to see you.
24:36Hee-hee.
24:38Wait.
24:39This might be my mom.
24:41It's hardly all that.
24:42Mom!
24:46Hey.
24:47What are you doing?
24:48Nothing.
24:49Just in my room.
24:49I've been waiting for you to call me.
24:52Guess what?
24:53Well, I just got in the car.
24:55Guess what?
24:56I got you stuff.
24:58You did?
24:59Yes.
24:59Well, I'm on my way home.
25:01I'll be home, okay?
25:03Okay.
25:03All right.
25:05I love you, and I'll see you in a little bit.
25:07Okay.
25:07I love you.
25:08Okay.
25:09All right.
25:09Bye-bye.
25:10Bye-bye.
25:11See you soon.
25:18So, tell me what you were just telling me.
25:20Who did you talk to?
25:20Oh, Julie called as soon as she got in the car, and I said,
25:25How are you doing, honey?
25:26She said, I'm doing good.
25:27She said, I'm overwhelmed.
25:30But she said that...
25:31Sorry.
25:35She said they'd been really, really good to her all day.
25:39They had catered to her all day.
25:41She said they'd been great.
25:43I just can't believe it.
25:46We've been praying for this for 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, and how do you feel about Julian Todd getting out?
26:00My name is Wilbur, and I...
26:02Okay.
26:02Be for real here.
26:04Who is Julian Todd?
26:06Wilbur.
26:07No.
26:08Come on.
26:08I believe in you.
26:10Actually, I'm excited.
26:12I want to see her.
26:13I want to see her reaction to being free, and as the paper put it, I think it was a quote
26:20by Donald Trump, not only are they free, they're clean.
26:24Do you know if you're interviewing me, you shouldn't be standing like that?
26:27Don't scratch your head.
26:28Don't cross your feet.
26:29Okay.
26:29Thank you, sir.
26:29Don't cross your feet.
27:00Then I'm booking all my appointments to get my lasers and stuff done, and I will be back
27:04in a fighting order within 72 hours.
27:07Oh, God.
27:08I can't wait.
27:09Oh, my God.
27:10I know.
27:11I just told Nanny, I said, wouldn't you hate to be the *** from the other end of Dad right
27:16now?
27:17Oh, please.
27:18When I got ready to leave, the A.W. came out there, and she goes, Mr. Chrisley, she says,
27:22I know this has been a long, hard fight for you guys, and I'm so happy for you and your
27:26family.
27:27And I said, say, cut the ***.
27:29I said, if you think what I did when I was here was something, you have no idea what
27:39I'm going to do when I walked outside these games.
27:41I said, I won't stop until I can destroy every one of them.
27:44How far away are you?
27:46We don't get there much well, something's fine.
27:49We will be waiting.
27:51The Internet had been full of speculation.
28:09They're coming home.
28:10They're not coming home.
28:11But Julie used the phrase, cautiously optimistic.
28:15She said, Daddy, I'm cautiously optimistic.
28:17So I still had my doubts.
28:19I want to hug her, and I want to give her a kiss on the cheek.
28:23I want to be sure this time this is legit and it's real.
28:27Is she in the front seat?
28:29No.
28:29I'm back.
28:32How are you, little weenie?
28:33Julie got out of that car in that garage.
28:59And Coco knew that she was home for real.
29:04She ran up and could not let go of her mom.
29:08Are you sure?
29:10Hi, baby.
29:11Hi, Elise.
29:13Hey.
29:15Welcome home.
29:17Seeing Julie free after two and a half years was overwhelming.
29:21It was like she had come back from the grave.
29:24You never have to leave again.
29:26I know.
29:29I'm so thankful and grateful.
29:31Everything worked out.
29:34I first give God the glory for them being released.
29:41Savannah had a huge part in being able to get in front of the right people.
29:47She never gave up.
29:49She was going to do whatever it took to get her mom and dad free.
29:54Come home.
29:55Yay!
29:56Come home, come home.
29:57Yay!
30:05Our daughter is home safe and sound.
30:08What did you?
30:09Did you make me some?
30:10Yeah.
30:10Chloe!
30:12Love it.
30:13You learned how to cook.
30:15I know.
30:16So now I don't have to cook.
30:17Okay.
30:18We're not going to go that far.
30:19She's like, okay.
30:19Take me some food.
30:21I'm telling.
30:22gradu.
30:34Can you do something?
30:35Okay.
30:36Hello.
30:36How are you?
30:37Thank you girl.
30:37Okay.
30:38You okay?
30:38You okay?
30:39Yeah.
30:39It's very emotional, it feels like, like a thousand pound weight has been lifted off
30:45my shoulders.
30:46I can't believe you're here.
30:47I know.
30:48Oh my God.
30:50It just, I couldn't describe a better feeling.
30:59You good?
31:00Yeah.
31:01Okay.
31:02You look good.
31:05Hi.
31:06It's so good to meet you.
31:07You're welcome.
31:08Nice to meet you.
31:09Okay.
31:10Now, is that how you had her picture?
31:12What do you mean?
31:14Julie, what did you think Julie would like?
31:17Just as beautiful as I had.
31:18Good answer.
31:19Good answer.
31:20And that was the first time your mom meeting Jody, right?
31:23That was the first time my mom met Jody.
31:26I mean, I'm just not sure that that's something that she should have been included on.
31:30But, you know.
31:34He's grown.
31:35You can only control him so much.
31:38I don't think my mom was even, was able to digest even like meeting Jody or meet, because
31:46there was just so many people around and so much going on.
31:49And, like, I think that she, my mom just needed a second.
31:52Which is fair.
31:53Okay.
31:54Everyone can come down.
31:56It's all about you today.
31:58Good morning.
31:59Matt, I'm good.
32:00Today's your day.
32:01That's it.
32:02I'm done.
32:03Who are all these people at the house?
32:04Good question.
32:05They shouldn't have been there.
32:06To me, it was very overwhelming and chaotic.
32:07Hi.
32:08I'm Michaela.
32:09Hi.
32:10Nice to meet you.
32:11Nice to meet you.
32:12Yes.
32:13Yes.
32:14Savannah has all of her friend group over at the house and it is a very intimate thing.
32:31So, I'm not sure why all these people are in the house.
32:36Hi.
32:37Hi.
32:38Hi.
32:39Hi.
32:40Hi.
32:41Hi.
32:42Hi.
32:43Hi.
32:44Hi.
32:45Hi.
32:46Hi.
32:47Hi.
32:48Hi.
32:49Hi.
32:50Hi.
32:51Hi.
32:52Hi.
32:53Hi.
32:55Hi.
32:56Hi.
32:57Hi.
32:58Hi.
32:59Hi.
33:00wheelchairул.
33:01Hi.
33:02When a log this doesn't come here, we're going to recognize her home and there's a house
33:10full of people.
33:11Like, I don't think that she really had room to breathe.
33:13You look like you're, are you good?
33:14I am.
33:15It's just been a long day.
33:16Long day.
33:17How are you feeling back then?
33:19Y'all I can't help but I'm throwing up.
33:20Ah.
33:21Tyler and my father were making fun of me as I puked the whole ride home.
33:30I've got her up here yagging, I've got you back in my ear yagging.
33:36It's just so disgusting.
33:38I had been up for at least 24 hours, I had fought like hell, the adrenaline, everything.
33:44I honestly think that's probably why I got so sick.
33:48It was a lot.
33:49I can smell it.
33:50You just sprayed perfume everywhere.
33:53I didn't have to deal with this in prison.
34:03We go.
34:04You're going?
34:05It's an hour and a half away.
34:06Okay.
34:07And I've got to work tomorrow.
34:08I've been up since 4 o'clock.
34:09Okay.
34:10I love you.
34:11I love you.
34:12I love you.
34:13I'll talk to you tomorrow.
34:14I know, I know.
34:15And you're safe at home.
34:16I know, I'll call you tomorrow.
34:18Alright, I love you.
34:19Bye.
34:20Love you, honey.
34:21Alright, love you.
34:22Bye.
34:23Welcome back, baby.
34:24Bye.

34:38Bye.
34:39Bye.
34:40Bye.
34:41Bye.
34:42Bye.
34:43I think my mom is just very overwhelmed.
34:45Like this is what we've been waiting for so long.
34:52Bye.
34:53Bye.
34:54Bye.
34:55Bye.
34:56Bye.
34:58Bye.

35:10Bye.
35:11Bye.
35:12Bye.
35:13Bye.
35:14She's like, oh, my God.
35:44I can't ask this, so it's weird.
35:48Why?
35:49Where did they go?
35:50We got to get their in.
35:51I know.
35:52Yeah, we're not doing right.
35:57Oh, hey.
35:58And you're like, no.
36:01Oh, my God.
36:02Oh, my God.
36:07Hey, they're really sleeping, sir.
36:09Oh, God.
36:10Yeah, I sat and slept.
36:11It was 48 hours.
36:12Yeah, I should get home in three days.
36:15Yeah.
36:20When 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.
36:37I 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.
36:50It broke my heart, but not anyone that couldn't be repaired because of the joy that I've seen with them.
36:57Well, we survived.
36:58We survived.
36:59We survived.
37:00We have done that.
37:01Yeah.
37:02We have done that.
37:03We have done that.
37:04I don't know how to be with a dark kid at morning.
37:05I know.
37:06But I'm willing to try it to.
37:07Get away from me.
37:08Like, I can't even imagine how they're feeling.
37:22It's...
37:23It's amazing.
37:24This is awesome.
37:25I'd say you could get your jewelry on right now, but Savannah's got it all on.
37:39What?
37:40I got to get home before y'all kill each other.
37:45I'm glad I got home.
37:47I'm not fighting with nobody.
37:49Best thing is everybody forgive and move on.
37:52And start a new life.
37:54Start a new beginning.
37:55Have I not...
37:56Have I not reached out to Savannah?
37:58Yes, yes.
37:59Okay.
38:00How many times?
38:01What is that you got in your mouth?
38:04It's dead.
38:05Get...
38:06Get it out.
38:07I done put braces on twice and...
38:10Teeth fixed.
38:11Get out.
38:12Get it out.
38:13Oh, my lord.
38:15Go back.
38:16Oh, I'm not going back.
38:18So, Savannah...
38:21Tell me about the last 48 hours.
38:24My job is done.
38:28I have accomplished the goal that I set out to accomplish.
38:31So, I'm going to bed.
38:33And I am excited to wake up in the morning in the same household as my parents.
38:38And...
38:39Who knows?
38:40Maybe tackle another...
38:42Another mission after this.
38:45Our family is back together.
38:48And I know how much they miss each other.
38:51And now that they're able to, like...
38:54Give each other a hug and be together.
38:56And not...
38:57Not have to worry about everything.
38:58I mean, it's just a beautiful moment.
39:02Can you believe it?
39:10How long have you envisioned this day?
39:12I never thought about when it was going to happen.
39:18I always believed that God would...
39:22Would provide and make a way.
39:24So, all the guys in my dorm, they came running up to the front.
39:28And they were all standing there when I was getting ready to walk out.
39:30And they were chanting.
39:31And they said, don't forget us.
39:32Don't forget us.
39:33Don't leave us behind.
39:34And 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 that's ever happened in our life.
39:53I'm excited for the world to finally know the truth.
39:58What was it like seeing Julie?
40:01Well, I know that for me, that I have never loved but one woman in my life.
40:06And that's Julie.
40:07And I know the bond that she and I have.
40:10And that...
40:11The time was not going to break that bond.
40:13But 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.
40:23And I would walk.
40:24And I would pray.
40:25And...
40:27I never felt like I was disconnected from her.
40:31I always felt like I was with her every day anyway.
40:33Because I kept her in my heart at all times.
40:38And then now that you're out, what's...
40:41What are we doing?
40:42I'm gonna back out.
40:44Yeah.
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.
40:59And 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?
41:05I 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.
41:16And we're blessed to be coming back to television.
41:19Because we do have a much bigger story to tell.
41:22Julie and Todd being out does feel different.
41:25I 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 warpath.
41:39You know, the rain's gonna let up and the sunshine's gonna come out eventually.
41:43It's a lot.
41:47The first few days were really tough, you know?
41:50Especially my kids.
41:51I think they thought that I was gonna be exactly the same as before I left.
41:56You can't go through something like that and not be changed.
42:00That's what I asked.
42:01I asked you, what did you have?
42:02And then you said, I don't know.
42:03You didn't ask me.
42:04Oh, my God.
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 I was not a part of it.
42:13I think it was intentionally done the way it was done to leave me out.
42:18I'm getting pissed off.
42:19Perfect.
42:20Yeah.
42:21Yeah.
42:22Yeah.
42:23Yeah.
42:24Yeah.
42:25Yeah.
