00:01:25Happy New Year's, kiddos.
00:01:50Happy New Year's, kiddos.
00:02:23Happy New Year's, kiddos.
00:02:34Happy New Year's, kiddos.
00:02:35Honey, I'm here. It's okay. I'm right here. Just remember the breathing, okay? You can do this, okay?
00:02:43Okay, Morgan, I need you to push on this next contraction, okay?
00:02:46Yes, you can do this, baby.
00:02:48I know you can do this.
00:02:49OK, good.
00:02:50Now, push.
00:02:54Push.
00:02:55Good.
00:02:56Push, push, push.
00:02:57Good, you got it.
00:02:57Oh my god, you're doing it, baby.
00:02:59Almost there.
00:03:00You're doing it, baby.
00:03:01You're doing it.
00:03:02The head is coming.
00:03:03Oh, Morgan, it's.
00:03:04I got him.
00:03:05I got him.
00:03:06Do you want to cut the cord?
00:03:08Yeah.
00:03:25OK, we do need to take him now.
00:03:34Can we just have a few minutes?
00:03:36I'm sorry.
00:03:36Do you remember what we talked about?
00:03:38Every minute matters.
00:03:42Yeah, OK.
00:04:02As we suspected from the prenatal ultrasound,
00:04:07Kevin's atrioventricular septal effect,
00:04:10it's allowing oxygen-rich blood.
00:04:13That's the red stuff you see here.
00:04:15It's allowing it to pass from his left atrium to his heart.
00:04:20We have to go into surgery right away.
00:04:30You'll put it on him soon.
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:45Hey, you know, you and me, we've been together
00:04:49since we were 14 years old.
00:04:53And right now we're being tested.
00:04:56But I want you to know that I'm going to take care of you.
00:05:01And we're going to be OK.
00:05:04No matter what.
00:05:15Mr. and Mrs. Metzer, I'm very sorry.
00:05:27You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
00:05:33You make me happy when skies are gray.
00:05:39You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
00:05:46So please don't take my sunshine away.
00:05:53You are my sunshine away.
00:05:56You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
00:05:59You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
00:06:01You make me happy when skies are gray.
00:06:08You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
00:06:15So please don't take my sunshine away.
00:06:20So please don't take my sunshine away.
00:06:47So please don't take my sunshine away.
00:06:51I'll take care of our folks when they get here.
00:06:54You want to go upstairs and rest?
00:07:13I'm sorry, is she doing OK?
00:07:17She just needs a man.
00:07:18She's upstairs.
00:07:19OK.
00:07:22Sorry, sorry.
00:07:23Sorry, I can't do it.
00:07:25It's not right, Rodney.
00:07:26No.
00:07:27It's not right.
00:07:30I'm going to rest your mother.
00:07:31No.
00:07:32No.
00:07:34No.
00:07:34No.
00:07:34No.
00:07:34No.
00:07:36No.
00:07:37No.
00:07:39No.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41No.
00:07:42No.
00:07:44No.
00:07:44No.
00:07:46No.
00:07:48No.
00:07:48No.
00:07:49No.
00:07:50No.
00:07:51No.
00:07:55I don't know.
00:08:38Hey, 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.
00:09:01Yeah, me too.
00:09:02And I have some news.
00:09:04It'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, and
00:09:17he 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
00:09:27unless we want to hire an attorney and go through the expense of all that.
00:09:33But you needed me here, so whatever. Screw that guy.
00:09:37Well, what are we going to do about money?
00:09:41I'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.
00:09:52Main of the house, remember?
00:09:53Mm-hmm.
00:09:55Besides, I think you need a degree for any decent job in design, but 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.
00:10:37Hey, 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.
00:11:06I thought, you know, it's been a while, and...
00:11:14I am so on board.
00:11:20And 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.
00:11:36Say something.
00:11:39Well, I mean, that was always our dream.
00:11:43I guess...
00:11:45I 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.
00:12:01You sure you're ready?
00:12:05Mm-hmm.
00:12:17Five more minutes.
00:12:20Five more minutes.
00:12:38Mm-hmm.
00:12:40Mom!
00:12:41Amelia, you took my spaceman!
00:12:43Mason won't share with me.
00:12:44You never share anything with me!
00:12:47Not true, 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?
00:12:58Pancakes!
00:12:59Pancakes!
00:12:59Pancakes!
00:13:00Pancakes!
00:13:01Pancakes!
00:13:01Oh, the tickle dragon is angry!
00:13:03Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle!
00:13:05Tickle!
00:13:05Tickle, tickle, tickle!
00:13:07Tickle!
00:13:07Ginger!
00:13:08I'm going to get on those pancakes.
00:13:09You've got you.
00:13:09Where do you think you're going?
00:13:10You cannot escape the tickle dragon!
00:13:12Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.
00:13:18Does Kevin like pancakes as much as us?
00:13:22Oh, I don't know, honey
00:13:23He never got to try them
00:13:28Alright, come on, you two hooligans
00:13:30Let's get downstairs
00:13:59Morgan?
00:14:02Morgan?
00:14:03Do you want to finish your story?
00:14:06Oh, um, yeah
00:14:08Um, I feel like I'm the only one
00:14:13who's trying to keep Kevin a part of our lives
00:14:17You know, we bake a cake for him at every birthday
00:14:20We sing and blow out candles
00:14:24He's got his stocking at Christmas
00:14:27Tell the twins about their big brother
00:14:41The kids, they, they go along with it
00:14:44You know, they sort of get it as much as they can
00:14:48They ask about him sometimes
00:14:50But Rodney, he just
00:14:53He tolerates it
00:14:56Those memories can take a toll
00:14:58On everyone
00:15:00I know, I just, I feel
00:15:03So isolated
00:15:05You know, I, I initially thought the kids could replace Kevin
00:15:10But they didn't
00:15:14And I don't work
00:15:16So my life is just Rodney and the kids
00:15:19And, and those memories
00:15:23And those memories
00:15:39Hey
00:15:39Oh, hi
00:15:41I, uh, I was just, uh, I dropped my keys and
00:15:48Was just, uh
00:15:51Sorry for disturbing your story
00:15:52I, I didn't mean to
00:15:53No apology needed
00:15:57Are you okay?
00:15:58Yeah
00:16:00I mean, no, I'm not, but I need to be
00:16:04You know, I got kids too
00:16:06And after their mother, you know
00:16:11I'm all I have
00:16:13It must be really hard
00:16:15You're doing a great job though
00:16:18Yeah
00:16:20Hiding in the parking lot
00:16:22Instead of going home to make dinner for my kids
00:16:24No, I mean being here
00:16:25Coming to group
00:16:27And look, it
00:16:29It gets better
00:16:30Not a lot, but
00:16:32Enough to go on
00:16:37My favorite spot is hiding in the closet
00:16:40Lights off
00:16:41Total darkness
00:16:42Any time of the day
00:16:45And hey
00:16:46As for dinner
00:16:48How about you surprise them with a few of these
00:16:50Yeah, my kids love donuts
00:16:54Well, you'll be a hero then
00:16:59What about your twins?
00:17:03I stole plenty
00:17:05Oh, um, Griff, by the way
00:17:07Griffith Walker

00:17:12You're a real life save of Morgan
00:17:14Thank you
00:17:18Anyway, I hope to see you around
00:17:19Yeah, me too
00:17:22Yeah, me too
00:17:49Oh, um, Rick
00:18:02Oh, I love you
00:18:10Oh, God
00:18:11Ah
00:18:15Oh, God
00:18:20It's good.
00:18:21Great.
00:18:23It's you belong like this.
00:18:46Where'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?
00:19:13Um, I always do group on Tuesday,
00:19:15and 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.
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:23It's all good.
00:19:23Don't worry about it.
00:19:26Well, guys, I told you not to play with that when I'm not here.
00:19:29You leave it open, and it turns hard as rock.
00:19:31Sorry, 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.
00:19:55Okay, 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.
00:20:08And 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...
00:20:18It is what it is.
00:20:34You okay?
00:20:36I've been better.
00:20:46You know, I don't like working for other people.
00:20:51Look at this.
00:20:52I've got $2.7 million in the trust.
00:20:55That's up 30%.
00:20:57That'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
00:21:06and 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,
00:21:14if that's what you think is best,
00:21:15I'm with you.
00:21:17Of course you are.
00:21:45This guy can throw the ball for 91.
00:21:47His curve, unhittable.
00:21:49And 400 on base.
00:21:50You should have been all state.
00:21:52Stop.
00:21:56Help me on the grill, Pete.
00:21:57I'll be right back.
00:22:00Hey, everybody.
00:22:01Look who's here.
00:22:06Hey, babe.

00:22:08Got the cake?
00:22:09Uh, do you want me to put
00:22:11Kevin's beanie back on the mantle?

00:22:28It's okay.
00:22:29We can salvage this.
00:22:31It's okay.

00:23:41Yeah, sure.
00:23:42And thank you.
00:23:44Yeah, I always wanted
00:23:45to get into design.

00:24:51and, you know,
00:24:52she goes to therapy,
00:24:53which I used to think
00:24:54was a good idea,
00:24:56but now,
00:24:58I don't know.
00:24:59I mean,
00:24:59she says she wants
00:25:00to keep celebrating
00:25:01Kevin's birthday,
00:25:02but then
00:25:04she shows up
00:25:05and she's a total mess.

00:25:39to lose a child.
00:25:43Anyway,

00:26:56Morgan.
00:26:57Morgan.
00:27:03Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:27:05She just hit me in the face
00:27:07with 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
00:27:18that she's just acting like this.
00:27:20Why did Mom do that?
00:27:28Well, you know,
00:27:29sometimes when you guys act bad
00:27:30and Mommy and Daddy say
00:27:31you can't do that,
00:27:33that's all it was.
00:27:34Mommy was just acting bad today.
00:27:36But don't worry.
00:27:37Daddy's here.
00:27:38I love you so much.
00:27:40One last hug.
00:27:42Okay, under 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
00:28:02is an apology.
00:28:06I'm sorry.
00:28:19We have to go in the surgery right away.
00:28:46Hey, Morgan?
00:28:49You burned off those donuts?
00:28:51I thought they were for your kids.
00:28:56Ouch.
00:28:56Uh, um...
00:28:59Yeah, no, I just hit myself
00:29:00when I was cleaning something, so...
00:29:02Oh.
00:29:03Hey, um,
00:29:05do you want to exchange numbers
00:29:07if I ever need some more advice
00:29:09or if I need a talk?
00:29:11It'll be the donut crisis hotline.
00:29:16Uh, yeah, sure.
00:29:18Yeah?
00:29:25Got you.
00:29:31Hey, guys.
00:29:32Hey, Mom.
00:29:34Hey, Rod.
00:29:37Is everything okay?
00:29:40Rodney.
00:29:41Huh?
00:29:42Uh, yeah.
00:29:44Yeah, all good.
00:29:45Yeah, yeah.
00:29:48Hey, this isn't fair.
00:29:51Boom.
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:58Do you want to tell me what's wrong?
00:30:00Maybe I can help.
00:30:05Sure.
00:30:06Let's see if you can help.
00:30:10Ah.
00:30:13So your trust account is overdrawn.
00:30:16Looks like there's interest.
00:30:18It means the money is gone.
00:30:20The trust is gone.
00:30:23How is that possible?
00:30:27Don't you watch the news?
00:30:29Inflation, banks going under.
00:30:31The Fed's been raising rates like crazy,
00:30:34and we leveraged the trust to buy bonds
00:30:36back when rates were low.
00:30:37Now it's all just worthless.
00:30:40How does that even happen?
00:30:41You're not going to understand it, okay?
00:30:42The money is just gone.
00:30:44All right?
00:30:44It's, it's, it's, it's gone.
00:30:54Oh, we'll sell the house.
00:30:56I'll, I'll get a job.
00:30:57I mean, we'll, we'll figure it out, all right?
00:30:59We'll, we'll make it work.
00:31:26We'll, we'll, we'll make it work.
00:31:31You have a beautiful house.
00:31:33Thank you for inviting me into it.
00:31:34And I would love to turn your house into a home
00:31:37where I can help you create the perfect warm family space
00:31:40for your baby and the newlywed couple.
00:31:42So let me show you what I mean.
00:31:44This should be the nursery.
00:31:46You do not want to go up and down the stairs
00:31:48every time you have a wet diaper.
00:31:51And then down the road, you should transform this area
00:31:54to more of a mudroom.
00:31:55We could do lockers right there.
00:31:57I have twins, so whether it's soccer cleats or ballet shoes,
00:32:01you're going to need the space.
00:32:02And then I was thinking for the entryway, some runners,
00:32:06something durable though, something where you do not have
00:32:08to 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
00:32:15with a backslash.
00:32:17All right.
00:32:18Now, if you're open to it, this color would be amazing in the entryway.
00:32:22Yes.
00:32:23And I mean, yes to working with you.
00:32:25I just, I love your vision for us and the house
00:32:29and let's do it.
00:32:31Don't you need to ask your husband?
00:32:33Oh, no.
00:32:33He trusts me with all things house and home.
00:32:37Amazing.
00:32:38Then I will get started right away.
00:32:40Great.
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.
00:32:58Are you redoing your kitchen or?
00:33:01No, I actually started my own design company.
00:33:05You're kidding.
00:33:07That is incredible.
00:33:08Yeah, 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
00:33:17and the house is totally bare.
00:33:19I pitched them on having this whole company
00:33:21and how I could handle it all,
00:33:22but it's just me, so.
00:33:26Well, you've done it before.
00:33:28I've seen your house, remember, so.
00:33:30Are you still selling insurance?
00:33:33I am, yeah.
00:33:34Yeah, I am, even though it is wildly, wildly mundane.
00:33:41Would you want to work for me?
00:33:46Well, me?
00:33:48You're serious?
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:53Yes, I would.
00:33:54Can I?
00:33:54Oh, my God.
00:33:55Oh, my God.
00:33:56When do I start?
00:33:57What?
00:33:57All right, and you're starting right now
00:33:58because I just, I don't.
00:33:59Okay, so this is the palp that I was wearing for.
00:34:12Hey, did you get a message?
00:34:15No, I've been working out.
00:34:16What's up?
00:34:16Babe, I won.
00:34:17I won it.
00:34:19Oh, hon, that's great.
00:34:19This one's bubble is so lovely.
00:34:22And the house, I mean, it's completely bare,
00:34:24but, I mean, it's got natural light,
00:34:25there's an open floor plan.
00:34:26Hey, I actually have some good news, too.
00:34:30There's this equity firm in Dallas,
00:34:32and they're going to fly me in for an interview.
00:34:35Rodney, oh, my gosh, that's terrific,
00:34:37and you are so incredibly sweaty.
00:34:39But I don't even care because I'm so proud of you.
00:34:43There's one thing.
00:34:44The interview's on Valentine's Day,
00:34:46so I would have to cancel our dinner.
00:34:49Okay.
00:34:50Yeah.
00:34:51No, that's good.
00:34:52Yeah?
00:34:53And you can watch the kids for a few days?
00:34:55Yeah.
00:34:55Yes, yes.
00:34:56I can juggle the kids and the new job.
00:34:59Plus, I've got Nicole working for me now, too,
00:35:00so it'll help.
00:35:02You hired someone?
00:35:04Yeah, your buddy Tom, his ex-girlfriend.
00:35:07All right, I'm going to get dinner started for the kids.
00:35:08Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:35:13Mmm, thank you.
00:35:17Oh.
00:35:19Babe, the kids are just right inside.
00:35:21Let's celebrate.
00:35:26Okay, we'll just make it quick.
00:35:33Oh, Mason, come on.
00:35:34Please don't eat from there.
00:35:36All right, give me 15 minutes,
00:35:37and 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?
00:35:45Can I have sausage, please?
00:35:46Sorry, guys, your mom was too much of a horndog
00:35:48to make anything tonight.
00:35:50What's a horndog?
00:35:51I'll tell you when you're 18.
00:36:09Oh, shoot.
00:36:19Shoot.
00:36:44I like the gray one.
00:36:46It looks good on you.
00:36:48Oh, 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
00:37:02in 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
00:37:07in the middle of the day.
00:37:09Right?
00:37:10Right?
00:37:11We're in the car.
00:37:11I'm serious.
00:37:16Okay, fine.
00:37:17Pretend all you want.
00:37:18I actually have something serious
00:37:20I 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.
00:37:32Rod.
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.
00:37:54You're welcome.
00:37:56Rod, I said I wasn't in the mood.
00:37:59Rodney, I said I was.
00:38:00Rodney.
00:38:01I don't.
00:38:04What are you doing?
00:38:06Rodney.
00:38:08Rodney.
00:38:39I 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?
00:39:00Or 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.
00:39:25Like, 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,
00:39:32so 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,
00:39:39you just expect that money is always going to be there,
00:39:41and then when it's not...
00:39:44Anyways, it's just,
00:39:46it's just been hard for him.
00:39:49Yeah, but you make great money now, right?
00:39:52I mean, isn't he happy about that?
00:39:56Yeah.
00:39:57Yeah, he is.
00:40:04Morgan.
00:40:07Is Rod...
00:40:08Hey!
00:40:09There he is.
00:40:11Do 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?
00:40:24I 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.
00:41:00Of course not.

00:52:20trauma is real when we suffer from trauma we can sometimes find ourselves inviting in people
00:52:28people who don't have our best interests at heart
00:52:33today i want to talk about narcissists personalities who have an excessive interest in their own
00:52:39appearance their own control over the world they are entitled lacking empathy they lash out when
00:52:48threatened nothing is ever their fault bad outcomes are always the symptom of something someone else did
00:52:57a narcissist has this compulsion for control

00:59:49I don't know, maybe
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?
01:00:00Oh, 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
01:00:13Oh, I'm such a fool
01:00:15For all these years you had me convinced that I was the broken one
01:00:19The crazy one, the drunk one
01:00:21The one who wouldn't move on from the memory of our son
01:00:24The one who acted like a child and needed to grow up
01:00:28That I was bad
01:00:31Okay, so this is all my fault now
01:00:34You 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
01:00:52This is your fault
01:00:53It's not your fault
01:00:56What?
01:00:57It's yours
01:00:58Are you turning my own children against me?
01:01:02You ungrateful
01:01:03Go away
01:01:04Shut up, you little brat
01:01:05Hey, no
01:01:05You do not touch him and you do not get to talk to any of us like that anymore
01:01:12Oh yeah?

01:02:34It's so bad.
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:39Oh, it's cold!
01:02:41Amelia!
01:02:44Oh, my gosh.
01:02:45Mason, do not eat that.
01:02:47That frosting is like blue.
01:02:51Oh, it's so good.
01:03:00Come on in.
01:03:09Hey, 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?
01:03:17Aunt Lizzie's is so far away.
01:03:21Well, 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.
01:03:40One, two, three, four, shirts.
01:03:46You know I could fix that floorboard?
01:03:48No.
01:03:50That's okay.
01:03:50I actually like it.
01:03:52It lets me know when the kids try to sneak downstairs to get ice cream.
01:03:55Hmm.
01:03:57Rodney seems, um, normal-ish.
01:04:01Yeah.
01:04:01No, he's been really great, actually.
01:04:04Um, 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.
01:04:33I'm okay to...
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.
01:04:49Mm-hmm.
01:04:50Mm-hmm.
01:05:07It 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, T-Rod.
01:05:29It's okay.
01:05:29You don't have to have to say it.
01:05:31No, I mean, really.
01:05:31I 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.
01:05:48Thank you again for driving.
01:05:52Um, I'd like to get the kids through the first week of school after break,
01:05:56but I, uh, I could give them back the second.
01:06:00It 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.
01:06:23I have cancer.
01:06:26Pancreatic cancer.
01:06:33It's...
01:06:34stage three and two,
01:06:37and the doctors say it's still confined to the pancreas,
01:06:42but the tumor's grown, and it's spread into the lymph nodes.
01:06:52I'm not gonna beat it.
01:06:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:57It's okay.
01:06:58You're gonna be okay.
01:07:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:07:02I should have been a better father
01:07:04and a better husband.
01:07:08It's okay.
01:07:17Yep.
01:07:18I'm sorry I lost it like that.
01:07:20No, it's...
01:07:21It's okay.
01:07:24Hey, you should know, um,
01:07:26I put my affairs in order.
01:07:29I don't have a lot,
01:07:30but you and the kids will collect all my insurance.
01:07:32Please, don't give up like that.
01:07:34Look, there's chemo, surgery, radiation.
01:07:37Rodney, you can beat this.
01:07:40You were always so positive.
01:07:44Even when we lost Kevin.
01:07:47It was a disaster.
01:07:49No.
01:07:50You took it head on.
01:07:52I just hid from it.
01:07:56Well, we've been through a lot, so...
01:08:00Yeah.
01:08:05Hey, 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?
01:08:20Rod, I'm here for you.
01:08:23Through it all.
01:08:27But only as a friend.
01:08:31Good night.
01:08:33Good night.
01:08:49Just flight.
01:08:53Good night.
01:08:57Good night.
01:09:00Good night.
01:09:09Hello?
01:09:12What?
01:09:37You
01:09:53I don't know.
01:10:18I don't know.
01:10:51I don't know.
01:11:38I don't know.
01:11:41I don't know.
01:11:52I don't know.
01:11:54I don't know.
01:12:25I don't know.
01:12:38I don't know.
01:12:59I don't know.
01:13:11I don't know.
01:13:14I don't know.
01:13:16I don't know.
01:13:24I don't know.
01:13:52I don't know.
01:13:55I don't know.
01:14:10I don't know.
01:14:14I don't know.
01:14:22I don't know.
01:14:29I don't know.
01:15:05I don't know.
01:15:06I don't know.
01:15:07I don't know.
01:15:18I don't know.
01:15:20I don't know.
01:15:43I don't know.
01:15:45I don't know.
01:15:46I don't know.
01:16:04I don't know.
01:16:10I don't know.
01:16:13I don't know.
01:16:20I don't know.
01:16:33I don't know.
01:16:40I don't see him.
01:16:42He's gone, I don't know.
01:16:44bit woozy. Jeez, Rick, call medical and a detective. We need them right away. And can
01:16:50you sweep the exterior just in case? Yeah. I'm sorry, ma'am. We did not understand how
01:16:55serious this was. Yeah. Someone broke in. She was attacked, but we're okay now. Ma'am,
01:17:08can you tell me anything else? I was in the bedroom. He was wearing a mask. He had a
01:17:20gun. I think it was my gun. He assaulted me. Yeah. When I got here, she was on the deck,
01:17:32like, terrified. And, um, I must have scared him off just in time. I, I, I don't know where
01:17:39they went. So you were not here during the attack? Oh, no, no. I don't, I don't live here. We're
01:17:46separated. I understand. But it's a good thing I got here when I did. Otherwise, who knows
01:17:55what could have happened? Jones, there's no sign of anyone on the property. Basement door
01:18:01is open, though. Mr. Metzer, why don't you go with Officer McLaughlin? Show him where
01:18:06you found Ms. Metzer. I really want to stay. Now, please, you can take him through everything,
01:18:09moment by moment. It will help us tremendously. Yeah, of course. Thank you.
01:18:24Ma'am, you can talk to me. Do you know who did this?
01:18:34Is he still on? I don't know. I don't know. He might be. He might be.
01:18:39Okay. Thank you. Wait right here. Like I said, if I hadn't got here, who knows what might
01:18:48have happened. He was very brave, Mr. Metzer. You have any idea who might have done this?
01:18:55Oh, actually, yeah. Before the divorce, there was this guy, Griff Walker. He was obsessed
01:19:03with Morgan. He would call and text her all the time. And then it got worse. He sent some
01:19:08threats in the mail. He even emailed me and told me to leave her. Really? Do you still have
01:19:15these emails? Oh. Yeah, that's it right there. Sick bastard. Can I hold on to this? Yeah, definitely.
01:19:27I want to give this to the detectives when they get here. Can you take us upstairs to the bedroom?
01:19:33Yeah. Sure. You know, you two go on up. I'm right behind you. I'm going to send this right away.
01:19:39I'm going to send this right away.
01:20:33I thought you were taking us upstairs. Yeah. Yeah. I just need to be with Morgan right
01:20:38now. Of course. How about you and I go up? And Rick here can keep her company.
01:20:48No. She's scared. I think she needs me. Okay?
01:20:52It's okay. I can go up there with you.
01:20:55You sure? Yeah. I'm good.
01:21:10I guess the guy tried to rob the place too. You'll have to ask Morgan about jewelry and stuff.
01:21:17Yeah, he didn't. You didn't take much.
01:21:21Don't worry, man. We're going to get this guy.
01:21:25I'm just glad you arrived when you did, sir.
01:21:28Yeah, me too. Otherwise, my kids might not have a mother right now.
01:21:34Isn't that a terrible thought? How did you even think to come here tonight?
01:21:42Uh, well, I was at my place and I got this strange call, just breathing on the other end
01:21:51of the line, and I got this weird feeling, and I just felt like I had to come check on
01:21:58her.
01:22:05What are you doing, man?
01:22:06Metzler, you have the right to remain silent.
01:22:08Are you serious?
01:22:09Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
01:22:12No, this is not right.
01:22:13You have the right to an attorney.
01:22:14If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.
01:22:16Do you understand the rights of this place to you?
01:22:18Morgan!
01:22:20Not if you understand.
01:22:23Not.
01:22:25Forgot it.
01:22:51All right, all right.
01:23:04How do you plead?
01:23:07Guilty.
01:23:09Excuse me?
01:23:11Louder, please.
01:23:13Guilty.
01:23:14I'm guilty.
01:23:17All right.
01:23:18I will accept a plea of guilty.
01:23:20Do you have anything you'd like to add?
01:23:24Yes.
01:23:26I, um...
01:23:29I just want to say I'm sorry.
01:23:34I fell down this dark path.
01:23:40But...
01:23:43I love my wife.
01:23:46I love her.
01:23:48And I never meant to...
01:23:53I never meant to hurt her.
01:23:56Miss Metzler.
01:23:58I understand you have a statement you'd like to share with the court today.
01:24:02Yes, Your Honor.
01:24:17Not only will the statement be to my attacker,
01:24:23it will be my last words to the man I once thought was the love of my life.
01:24:31Rodney, love does not emotionally abuse.
01:24:36Love does not break into your home in the middle of the night.
01:24:41Love does not strike you countless times with a gun, tie you up, and strangle you.
01:24:51Love does not sexually assault you.
01:24:56Love does not leave you outside with a pillowcase over your head, wondering if you are ever going to see
01:25:03your children again.
01:25:07I gave you my heart and soul, and you tried to destroy them.
01:25:13And here's what I have to say in response.
01:25:34Thank you for the gift of my children.
01:25:40Even though you are a monster, my heart aches that our children will not have a father.
01:25:49This attack wasn't just a trauma.
01:25:51It was a blessing in disguise.
01:25:56Rodney, it is time to let you go and lay you down to rest.
01:26:14I can now walk with confidence, knowing that the pain you gave me has been turned into power.
01:26:21Hey, Mom.
01:26:22Let's for breakfast.
01:26:25Whatever you want, my little loves.
01:26:30And that I now know what true love is.
01:26:35It's how I feel about our kids.
01:26:38And how I feel about myself.
01:27:05And how I feel about myself.
01:27:07And how I feel about myself.
01:27:36And how I feel about myself.
