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?
00:02:43OK, Morgan, I need you to push on this next contraction, OK?
00:02:46I can't.
00:02:46I can't.
00:02:46I can't.
00:02:46I 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.
00:02:54Push.
00:02:55Good.
00:02:56Push, push, push.
00:02:57Good.
00:02:57You 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.
00:03:22Run.
00:03:25I know.
00:03:31OK, 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, okay.
00:04:02As we suspected from the prenatal ultrasound,
00:04:08Kevin'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.
00:04:31You'll put it on him soon?
00:04:34Yeah.
00:04:43Hey.
00:04:45You know, you and me,
00:04:48we've been together since we were 14 years old.
00:04:52And right now we're being tested.
00:04:56But I want you to know that I'm gonna take care of you.
00:05:01And we're gonna be okay.
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.
00:06:01You 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.
00:06:20Stay away.
00:06:46Stay away.
00:06:47I bet you are gonna be sore.
00:06:50Your sun is week hours 80 to 30é–“.
00:06:51I'll take care of our folks when they get here.
00:06:54You want to go upstairs and rest?
00:07:13Sorry. Is she doing okay?
00:07:17She just needs a man. She's upstairs.
00:07:19Okay.
00:07:25It's not right, Rodney. It's not right.
00:07:30We lost your mother.
00:07:31No, no.
00:07:49No, no, no.
00:07:56No, no.
00:07:57No, no.
00:07:59No, no.
00:08:07No, no.
00:08:10No, no, no.
00:08:23No, no.
00:08:26No, no.
00:08:54No, no, no.
00:09:05The good kind.
00:09:06Okay, you first.
00:09:07No, no, no.
00:09:35No, no, no.
00:09:41You're not doing 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.
00:09:50Come here.
00:09:51I 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.
00:09:58But don't worry.
00:09:59It's okay.
00:10:00We have plenty of dough in the trust fund.
00:10:02We're going to be fine.
00:10:05Oh, anyway, what was your thing about?
00:10:09Oh, um, I just hope you like my new cranberry sauce.
00:10:16Must be a heck of a sauce.
00:10:17Let'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.
00:11:05Oh.
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.
00:11:37Say 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.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:32Five more minutes.
00:12:37Mm-hmm.
00:12:40Mom!
00:12:41You took my space.
00:12:42Mason! Mason won't share with me.
00:12:44You never share anything with me.
00:12:47Not you, Dad. Tell Mason to share.
00:12:49I don't care.
00:12:50Dad!
00:12:52I'm sorry, Mason, share with your sister.
00:12:54Fine. Mom, can we have pancakes this morning?
00:12:58Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!
00:13:01Oh, the tickle dragon is angry.
00:13:03Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.
00:13:05Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.
00:13:07Got you, got you.
00:13:08Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna get on those pancakes.
00:13:09Where do you think you're going?
00:13:10You cannot escape the tickle dragon.
00:13:12Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.
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, come on, you two hooligans.
00:13:30Let's get downstairs.
00:13:30Go upstairs.
00:13:31Go upstairs.
00:13:59Morgan, Morgan, do you want to finish your story?
00:14:06Oh, um, yeah, um...
00:14:10I feel like I'm the only one who's trying
00:14:14to 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.
00:14:51But Rodney, he just...
00:14:53he tolerates it.
00:14:56Those memories can take a toll on everyone.
00:15:00I know. I just... I feel...
00:15:03so isolated.
00:15:05You know, I...
00:15:07I initially thought the kids could replace Kevin,
00:15:10but they didn't.
00:15:13and...
00:15:15I don't work, so...
00:15:17my life is just Rodney and the kids and...
00:15:22and those memories.
00:15:38Hey.
00:15:40Oh, hi.
00:15:42Um...
00:15:43I was just, uh...
00:15:44I dropped my keys and...
00:15:48I was 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...
00:16:00No.
00:16:01I'm not.
00:16:02But...
00:16:03I need to be.
00:16:04You know?
00:16:05I got kids too.
00:16:07And...
00:16:07after their mother.
00:16:08You 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?
00:16:51Yeah, my kids love donuts.
00:16:53Well.
00:16:54You'll be a hero then.
00:16:59What about your twins?
00:17:03I stole plenty.
00:17:05Oh, um...
00:17:06Griff, by the way.
00:17:07Griffith Walker.
00:17:08Morgan Metzer.
00:17:12You're a real life save of Morgan.
00:17:18Anyway, hope to see you around.
00:17:21Yeah.
00:17:21Me too.
00:17:22Good.
00:17:32I'll do it.
00:17:38Oh.
00:17:39Oh.
00:17:46Oh.
00:17:49Oh, oh boy.
00:17:51Oh.
00:17:51Oh, oh.
00:18:19It's good.
00:18:21Great.
00:18:22You belong like this.
00:18:45Where'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, and with it being Kevin's birthday this weekend, I don't know why I
00:19:19would tell you I'd skip it and pick up.
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:22It's all good.
00:19:23Don't worry about it.
00:19:26Oh, guys, I told you not to play with that when I'm not here. You leave it open and it
00:19:30turns 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, and 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.
00:19:49I 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. No big deal, right?
00:20:02But then guess who calls 30 minutes later?
00:20:06Mr. Davis.
00:20:07And 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.
00:21:00And I've been reading up on investing.
00:21:03I can save us on commissions and do just as well if I start managing the account myself.

00:29:37Is everything okay?
00:29:40Rodney.
00:29:41Huh?
00:29:42Uh, yeah.
00:29:44Yeah, all good.
00:29:47Oh!
00:29:48Hey!
00:29:49Hey, this isn't fair!
00:29:51Boom!
00:29:56Hey, Rodney.
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.
00:30:13So 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, all right?
00:30:46It's gone!
00:30:54Oh, we'll sell the house.
00:30:56I'll get a job.
00:30:57I mean, we'll figure it out, all right?
00:30:59We'll make it work.
00:31:00I mean, 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
00:31:36into a home where I can help you create
00:31:38the 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,
00:31:52you should transform this area
00:31:54to more of a mudroom.
00:31:55We could do lockers right there.
00:31:57I have twins,
00:31:58so 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,
00:32:05some runners,
00:32:06something durable though,
00:32:07something where you do not have to get down
00:32:08on your hands and knees
00:32:09to clean every month.
00:32:11And then the kitchen,
00:32:13I was thinking maybe more of a neutral palette
00:32:15with a backslash.
00:32:17All right, now if you're open to it,
00:32:19this 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.
00:32:28And 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, then.
00:32:38I 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
00:33:13coming 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'd pitch 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.
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:34Yeah, I am.
00:33:35Even though it is wildly, wildly mundane.
00:33:41Would you want to work for me?
00:33:46What?
00:33:47Me?
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?
00:33:57And you're starting right now
00:33:58because I just, I don't.
00:33:59Okay, so this is the palpite
00:34:01that was going for you.
00:34:12Hey.
00:34:13Did 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 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, and...
00:34:27Hey, I, uh, 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!
00:34:35Oh, my gosh, that's terrific,
00:34:37and you are so incredibly sweaty.
00:34:39But I don't even care,
00:34:40because 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?
00:34:54Yeah.
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.
00:35:18Oh, babe, 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.
00:36:17Shit, shit.
00:36:20Shit.
00:36:20Shit.
00:36:21Shit.
00:36:45I like the gray one.
00:36:46It looks good on you.
00:36:48You 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?
00:37:11We'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, no 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?
00:38:00I said I was.
00:38:00Rodney?
00:38:01I don't.
00:38:04What are you doing?
00:38:06Rodney?
00:38:07Rodney?
00:38:08Rodney?
00:38:11Rodney?
00:38:11Rodney?
00:38:12Rodney?
00:38:39I think this palette is going to work really nicely together.
00:38:41So 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, 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...
00:39:44Anyways, it's just, 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.
00:40:05Morgan.
00:40:07Is Rod...
00:40:08Hey, there 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.
00:40:34It could have been an accident.
00:40:36They could have put that in the wrong way of office.
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.
00:41:45We 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.
00:42:20Look, if you want to see every little receipt, I can bring out the itemized bill right now.
00:42:24Rodney, that's fine.
00:42:27No, 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, smart.
00:42:30Stop.
00:42:30You want to see your receipts, that's good business.
00:42:32Never mind, okay?
00:42:36There's something more important anyway.
00:42:39I found a bag in the bathroom.
00:42:42It had steroids in it.
00:42:44Rod, that stuff's dangerous.
00:42:47Morgan, steroids.
00:42:49Come on, you know I'm diabetic.
00:42:51I know what your insulin looks like.
00:42:53This was different.
00:42:58You don't know what you're talking about.
00:43:01Rodney, we need to discuss this.
00:43:14Don't you dare emasculate me like that in front of the kids.
00:43:17Rodney.
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, I pick them up from school, I do their homework, I cook their meals, I 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, no, 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?
00:43:51How about your new little credit card bill?
00:43:53Because it's not just tools, Rodney, it's movies and drinks and nights out with your
00:43:56baseball friends.
00:43:57It's none of your business.
00:43:58It's my money, it'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?
00:44:05Seriously, Rodney, do you think I'm an idiot?
00:44:26Rodney, 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.
00:44:38It's okay.
00:44:38Daddy's okay.
00:44:39Mommy didn't mean to push me.
00:44:41She's just upset, okay?
00:44:51Oh, she's just upset.
00:45:01Are you kidding me?
00:45:06Be right there.
00:45:11Oh, Mom, Dad, what are you...
00:45:15Can we come in?
00:45:16How are you doing, honey?
00:45:34Can I get you anything?
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?
00:46:15I'm...
00:46:16I can't.
00:46:18Richard?
00:46:21Rod came over this morning.
00:46:23He's very concerned about himself, but also for the kids.
00:46:30You're not violent with them, 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...
00:46:39Do 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?
00:47:16Who...
00:47:16What are you doing with my tools?
00:47:17I'm cleaning up.
00:47:19Morgan, 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. I'm on message boards.
00:47:45I 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.
00:48:00You've been violent, erratic, unfaithful.
00:48:05Rodney, I have never cheated on you. Never.
00:48:08So 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...
00:48:19I never intended to hurt you. You know that.
00:48:27No one is going to believe you.
00:48:30Everyone we know is friends with me, not you.
00:48:34And if you ever try to leave me, they'll never let you keep the kids.
00:48:41Never.
00:48:52Yeah, I like that.
00:48:54That's nice.
00:48:55Ooh.
00:48:56What about this for the Allens?
00:48:58Mmm, no, it's not upscale enough for what Jerry's looking for.
00:49:00She wants solids, whites, off creams.
00:49:03Um, elegant without being too showy.
00:49:05Mmm.
00:49:06Yeah.
00:49:09Oh, what about that?
00:49:11Is that elegant enough?
00:49:16Yes.
00:49:17Exactly.
00:49:22Oh, no.
00:49:23What?
00:49:25Oh.
00:49:27Come on.
00:49:29Come on.
00:49:29You deserve it.
00:49:31Just...
00:49:31Just pick it up.
00:49:32Just try it.
00:49:34Just pick it up.
00:49:38She's cute.
00:49:39Oh, she's so cute.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:42Okay.
00:49:51You guys almost done with your homework?
00:49:53Yeah.
00:50:11Nice bag.
00:50:13Looks expensive.
00:50:15Four new clients this month.
00:50:17We 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?
00:50:37He's a friend from therapy.
00:50:38Why?
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?
00:50:50Have you been looking through my phone?
00:50:52No.
00:50:53I didn't need to.
00:50:54I just needed to look at my phone.
00:50:56I was sitting here in my house with my kids,
00:50:59minding my own business.
00:51:00When I get this email.
00:51:07It's not Griff.
00:51:08He's not like that.
00:51:10Booming business.
00:51:11New purse.
00:51:12New man.
00:51:14Rod, not here.
00:51:15Please.
00:51:16When were you planning to tell all of us that you'd moved on?
00:51:18Griff is just a guy who lost his wife.
00:51:21Look, I barely know him.
00:51:22There's no affair.
00:51:23There never was.
00:51:24I can't trust you.
00:51:26Of course you can trust me.
00:51:28No.
00:51:28The signs were there all along.
00:51:29The drinking, the pills.
00:51:30You disappearing all day from me and the kids.
00:51:33I'm at work.
00:51:35Work?
00:51:36Your little interior design business?
00:51:39That's what you call a job?
00:51:41Give me a break.
00:51:42You're not a mother to these children anymore.
00:51:44You're not even a wife to me.
00:51:46I didn't choose this.
00:51:48Someone needed to make money.
00:51:50Oh, so now you're the victim.
00:51:52The cheater is the victim.
00:51:56Kids, clear the table.
00:51:57Dinner's ready.
00:51:58Okay.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:20Trauma is real.
00:52:23When we suffer from trauma, we can sometimes find ourselves inviting in people.
00:52:28People who don't have our best interests at heart.
00:52:32Today I want to talk about narcissists.
00:52:36Personalities who have an excessive interest in their own appearance.
00:52:40Their own control over the world.
00:52:43They are entitled.
00:52:45Lacking 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.
00:53:15But do so knowing that the control you're giving them is only in their minds and not in yours.
00:53:36Oh, sorry.
00:53:37Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
00:53:39I didn't see you in group.
00:53:41Oh, I snuck in late.
00:53:43The kids have been so busy with school and sports.
00:53:46It's...
00:53:46It's hard to find the time.
00:53:49Uh-huh.
00:53:50Look, I don't mean to sound crazy, but...
00:53:54Did you happen to write my husband Rodney an email?
00:53:59Your husband?
00:54:02Yeah, um...
00:54:03Did you tell him to back off so we could be together?
00:54:07Hmm.
00:54:11So you put the letter in the mailbox too?
00:54:15You serious?
00:54:16Well, did you?
00:54:19Morgan, I didn't email your husband.
00:54:21And I haven't written a letter by hand in, I don't know, ten years?
00:54:26Listen, I...
00:54:26Thought we could help each other, but whatever's going on between you and your husband just...
00:54:32Leave me out of it.
00:54:52Sorry, I am so sorry.
00:54:54Save your breath.
00:54:55They are long gone.
00:54:57Sorry.
00:54:58Don't be.
00:55:00We... have a new client.
00:55:02Bye!
00:55:03So...
00:55:03Bye!
00:55:03I knew it.
00:55:04I knew it.
00:55:05I always said confidence is key.
00:55:07And look at that.
00:55:08You have it.
00:55:08You are the best.
00:55:10No, you are the best.
00:55:12Yes.
00:55:16Okay, I've gotta ask.
00:55:21What is going on with you?
00:55:23You've been really...
00:55:25off.
00:55:26off.
00:55:29No, I'm good.
00:55:30It's just...
00:55:32You know, with kids and sports and...
00:55:40Wasn't Rodney and...
00:55:42Dallas for Valentine's?
00:55:51I'm really sorry.
00:55:56No, it...
00:55:56It must be the wrong year.
00:55:59Morgan.
00:56:03He is not a good partner.
00:56:04Okay?
00:56:05I'm sorry, but...
00:56:07Someone needs to say it.
00:56:09It's...
00:56:11It's...
00:56:12Complicated.
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:15Yeah, I know.
00:56:16But it's also really simple.
00:56:18Okay?
00:56:18He's full of it.
00:56:19And he...
00:56:20He doesn't treat you well.
00:56:26I don't even know who I am anymore.
00:56:29I'm a horrible mom.
00:56:31I'm a horrible wife.
00:56:32No, don't say that.
00:56:33No, that's not true.
00:56:34You don't know what I've done.
00:56:35Look, you don't get it, alright?
00:56:37I...
00:56:38I pushed him down the stairs.
00:56:40What?
00:56:40I hit him.
00:56:42What?
00:56:43I did it at Kevin's birthday party.
00:56:45I hit him.
00:56:48Morgan.
00:56:48Morgan, please, you just don't get it, alright?
00:56:52No.
00:56:53Mm-mm.
00:56:56Okay, I do not need to relive that any more than I already did, okay?
00:56:58No.
00:56:59No, Morgan.
00:57:00That is not what happened.
00:57:05Get off of me!
00:57:07Get off!
00:57:12What was that?
00:57:13I said...
00:57:14Don't call me crazy.
00:57:17You don't want me to call you crazy?
00:57:19Stop mixing wine and pills.
00:57:21Get off of me!
00:57:30You hit me.
00:57:31Now get inside and don't make a scene.
00:57:39I never would have said anything like that to you.
00:57:41You think I'm an idiot, Rodney?
00:57:43Ah!
00:57:47Ah!
00:57:58Hurry.
00:57:59Rod, are you okay?
00:58:01What the hell are you doing?
00:58:03Me?
00:58:04Are you trying to kill me?
00:58:05Daddy!
00:58:06Are you okay?
00:58:08Yeah, you're fine. I'm fine. It's okay.
00:58:09Mommy, they didn't even push me, okay?
00:58:11She's just upset.
00:58:30Guys, you're going to be sick.
00:58:34You're so strong, okay?
00:59:05Oh, my God.
00:59:06and another bunker there, a short life.
00:59:08I'm trying to come out soft and maybe run up to the hall.
00:59:15Rod, you should go.
00:59:17I need to talk to my husband.
00:59:28Why?
00:59:32What?
00:59:33There's piss all over my purse.
00:59:37Maybe the cat pissed on him.
00:59:39For once in your life, stop lying.
00:59:45Oh, yeah.
00:59:47Yeah, so that's cat piss?
00:59:50I 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.
01:00:16For all these years, you had me convinced that I was the broken one,
01:00:19the crazy one, the drunk one, the 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.
01:00:30Okay.
01:00:31So 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?
01:00:50You are still behaving like a child.
01:00:53This is your fault.
01:00:54It's not your fault.
01:00:55It's not your fault.
01:00:56What?
01:00:57It's yours.
01:00:59You're 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.
01:01:22Let's go, let's go.
01:01:23Let's get in the car.
01:01:25Come on, baby girl.
01:01:25Hustle up.
01:01:30All right, come on.
01:01:30Let's go.
01:01:31In the car.
01:01:33Here.
01:01:34Get in, baby.
01:01:37Morgan, stop!
01:01:39Morgan, don't do this.
01:01:40Rodney, stop.
01:01:41Don't do this.
01:01:41No, no, no.
01:01:42Rodney, please, stop.
01:01:42Come back inside.
01:01:43Let's talk about this.
01:01:44Stop this.
01:01:45Rodney, please, don't leave me.
01:01:46Rodney, we're done.
01:01:48Please, we're done.
01:01:51Come on.
01:01:57Come on.
01:02:24Oh, nice.
01:02:26Oh, nice.
01:02:27Oh, nice.
01:02:27Oh, so beautiful.
01:02:27I need it.
01:02:30It's so bad.
01:02:34It's so bad.
01:02:36It's so bad.
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.
01:02:50Oh, it's so bad.
01:02:53Oh, it's so bad.
01:02:57Oh, it's so bad.
01:03:01Come on in.
01:03:09Hey, guys.
01:03:11Merry late Christmas.
01:03:12Merry Christmas, Dad.
01:03:13Hi, 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.
01:03:41One, two, three, four shirts.
01:03:46You know I could fix that floorboard?
01:03:50That's OK.
01:03:50I actually like it.
01:03:52It lets me know when the kids try to sneak downstairs to get ice
01:03:54cream.
01:03:54Hmm.
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
01:04:06asking if they could visit for Christmas, he gave up his time
01:04:09so they could go.
01:04:11Hmm.
01:04:13And you're going on this drive with him to Florida?
01:04:16Uh-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 OK.
01:04:34It'll be good for us.
01:04:37Yeah.
01:04:44You want me to get this?
01:04:46Yeah.
01:04:47Thanks.
01:05:06It 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.
01:05:27I'm glad you're good, T-Rod.
01:05:29It's OK.
01:05:29You don't have to say that.
01:05:31No, I mean, really.
01:05:31I mean, you'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,
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.
01:06:05Is everything OK?
01:06:09I'm not.
01:06:11I'm not OK.
01:06:15You know you can still tell me anything.
01:06:23I have cancer.
01:06:26Pancreatic cancer.
01:06:33It's stage three and two, and 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 going to beat it.
01:06:54No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:57It's OK.
01:06:58You're going to be OK.
01:07:00I'm so sorry.
01:07:02I should have been a better father and a better husband.
01:07:08It's OK.
01:07:17Yep.
01:07:18I'm sorry I lost it like that.
01:07:20No, it's OK.
01:07:24Hey, you should know I put my affairs in order.
01:07:29I don't have a lot, but 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.
01:08:04Hey, um, do you think maybe if the chemo and radiation stuff all works,
01:08:14maybe you and I could work too?
01:08:20Rod, I'm here for you, through it all.
01:08:27But only as a friend.
01:08:31Good night.
01:08:31Good night.
01:08:44Good night.
01:08:50Good night.
01:08:52Good night.

01:16:04I don't know.
01:16:04If I was to hang on the cold.
01:16:06We were told there was a break in.
01:16:08Yes.
01:16:09There was.
01:16:10But you know.
01:16:11Everything's fine now.
01:16:13We're okay.
01:16:14Thanks for being here so quickly.
01:16:16Yeah.
01:16:16Well.
01:16:17Can you tell us a little more about what happened.
01:16:19Yeah.
01:16:20Sure.
01:16:20Of course.
01:16:21It's just.
01:16:22You know.
01:16:23Everything's calmed down now.
01:16:25Or.
01:16:27It's late.
01:16:28I.
01:16:28We're safe.
01:16:31What was that?
01:16:34I don't know.
01:16:40I'm sorry.
01:16:41I was trying to stand.
01:16:43I'm still just a little bit woozy.
01:16:45Jeez, Rick, call medical and a detective.
01:16:48We need them right away.
01:16:50And can you sweep the exterior just in case?
01:16:52Yeah.
01:16:53I'm sorry, man.
01:16:54We did not understand how serious this was.
01:16:56Yeah.
01:16:58Someone 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.
01:17:18Um, he had a gun.
01:17:21I 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?
01:17:44Oh, no, no, I don't, I don't live here.
01:17:46We're separated.
01:17:51I understand.
01:17:53But, it's a good thing I got here when I did.
01:17:54Otherwise, who knows what could have happened.
01:17:58Jones, there's no sign of anyone on the property.
01:18:01Basement door is open, though.
01:18:03Mr. Metzer, why don't you go with Officer McLaughlin?
01:18:05Show him where you found Mr. Metzer.
01:18:07I really want to stay.
01:18:08No, please, you can take him through everything, moment by moment.
01:18:10It will help us tremendously.
01:18:13Yeah, of course.
01:18:24Ma'am, you can talk to me.
01:18:26Do you know who did this?
01:18:34Is he still on?
01:18:35I don't know.
01:18:37I don't know.
01:18:38He might be.
01:18:38He might be.
01:18:39Okay, thank you.
01:18:41Wait right here.
01:18:44Like I said, if I hadn't got here, who knows what might have happened.
01:18:49He was very brave, Mr. Metzer.
01:18:52Do you have any idea who might have done this?
01:18:55Oh, actually, yeah.
01:18:58Before the divorce, there was this guy, Griff Walker.
01:19:02He was obsessed with Morgan.
01:19:03He would call and text her all the time.
01:19:06And then it got worse.
01:19:08He sent some threats in the mail.
01:19:09He even emailed me and told me to leave her.
01:19:13Really?
01:19:14Do you still have these emails?
01:19:16Oh.
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?
01:19:33Yeah, sure.
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.
01:20:09I don't know.
01:20:33I thought you were taking us upstairs.
01:20:35Yeah, yeah.
01:20:36I just need to be with Morgan right now.
01:20:41Of course.
01:20:44How about you and I go up?
01:20:46And, uh, Rick here can keep her company.
01:20:48No, she's scared.
01:20:50I think she needs me, okay?
01:20:52It's okay, I can...
01:20:53I can go up there with you.
01:20:55You sure?
01:20:57Yeah.
01:20:59I'm good.
01:21:10I guess the guy tried to rob the place, too.
01:21:13You'll have to ask Morgan about jewelry and stuff.
01:21:17Yeah, he didn't...
01:21:19He didn't take much.
01:21:21Don't worry, man.
01:21:22We're gonna get this guy.
01:21:25I'm just glad you arrived when you did, sir.
01:21:28Yeah, me too.
01:21:30Otherwise, my kids might not have a mother right now.
01:21:34Isn't that a terrible thought?
01:21:37How did you even think to come here tonight?
01:21:41Uh...
01:21:43Well, I was in my place, and...
01:21:45I got this strange call.
01:21:49Just 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.
01:22:04Whoa, whoa, whoa! What 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, no, 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.
01:22:16You understand the rights of this...
01:22:18Morgan!
01:22:20Nod if you understand.
01:22:23Nod.
01:22:25Forgot it.
01:22:29I'll give you.
01:22:30I'll give you.
01:22:31I'll give you a second.
01:22:46I'll give you a second.
01:22:52Sorry.
01:22:52Hey, I'll give you a second.
01:23:04How do you plead?
01:23:08Guilty.
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, I just want to say I'm sorry.
01:23:34I fell down this dark path, but I love my wife.
01:23:46I love her, and I never meant to...
01:23:52I never meant to hurt her.
01:23:56Miss Metzer, I 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.
01:25:12And 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, it 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!
01:26:22What's for a breakfast?
01:26:25Whatever you want, my little loves.
01:26:29And that I now know what true love is.
01:26:34It's how I feel about our kids.
01:26:38And how I feel about myself.
01:27:28Oh, my God, I feel like the honor of God.
01:27:28And Lord,
