15:50so
16:07You know, it's never a good sign when a man hides his screen just when his wife enters
16:14the room.
16:14I was just looking at the latest on the federal building bomb stuff.
16:18Oh.
16:19So you're cheating on your repair work.
16:22I'm not cheating.
16:24I'm taking a brain break.
16:26I can't seem to fix this record player or the radio, apparently.
16:35Can we have a heart-to-heart?
16:38Sure.
16:38Sure.
16:43I'm not feeling very good about Gary's repairs.
16:48I know you love tinkering with these things, but our finances can't handle the dip we've
16:53been going through much longer, and I'm not sure that these electronics are your strength.
16:59Becky, I've always been good at fixing stuff.
17:02Yeah, I'm a little rusty, but once I get my soldering hand back and, you know, a supply
17:08chain and some of these shops...
17:10You're not any good at fixing this junk!
17:20I'm sorry.
17:23Somebody had to tell you.
17:27What-what-what am I supposed to do, huh?
17:29Well, this is what God's given me.
17:35I was a cop, and before that I tinkered with electronics.
17:40I'm terrible at this-this modern high-tech stuff.
17:43I didn't go to college.
17:46So what am I supposed to do, huh?
17:50Go back to being a detective somewhere else?
17:53I can't.
17:56God closed that door in my heart, and it's not my place to open it.
18:03If the door is closed, then what was on that screen?
18:11Did God close the door, or did you?
18:17I can't go back, I can't.
18:20Maybe it's not about going back, but going forward instead.
18:28What's that even mean?
18:32You're a smart guy.
18:35You'll figure this out.
18:40It's what you do.
18:42You solve things.
18:43You have to pay attention on this device.
18:48Where can I come from?
18:51Go to a desk.
19:13Go to the desk.
19:20Hey, what's up?
19:22So should I come downtown, teach your boys how to conduct a proper investigation?
19:28What do you mean by that?
19:30Well, you should be more observant.
19:32Look around.
19:36You got the wrong guy.
19:40I'm listening.
19:41Backpack was lost.
19:42Possibly stolen.
19:44Three weeks before the incident happened.
19:47And I know you're going to say it's hearsay, but I got canceled debit cards, reissued driver's license, bus receipts
19:52that proved that he lost it.
19:53So if it were me, and I was looking for the real bomb maker, I'd be looking at the bus
19:58camera footage on Route 9 between the 20th and the 22nd.
20:04That's very good, Mr. Travis.
20:06Or should I call you Detective Travis again?
20:08Better yet, Gary Travis, P.I.
20:11It's just Travis.
20:12You want this?
20:12We already figured it out.
20:15You did?
20:17We picked up the wrong guy.
20:18The stolen backpack was used to throw us off, apparently.
20:22Now the Bureau has a whole mess to clean up when they let him out.
20:25We got our own Richard Jewell dilemma here.
20:27Oh, you mean the guy's life you wrecked because he was wrongfully accused?
20:32Unfortunately.
20:32Yeah, but that's pretty impressive work there for a former law enforcement officer.
20:37I mean, it took a team of people across multiple floors up there to figure out what one old-school
20:42cop did in about a day.
20:44Our offer still stands.
20:46We could always put in a good word for you, start the interview process, background check.
20:51Oh, I appreciate it, you guys, but I am all in on my new business.
20:56Well, I can't say I blame him for wanting to stay out of it, but you're gifted, Gary.
21:02I mean, you're really good at what you do.
21:04And we didn't have the dates or the bus scheduled yet, so thank you.
21:09Yep.
21:10Do you want to grab coffee while you're in town?
21:13Yeah, I could do that, but he's paying.
21:16Of course I am.
21:18You know, you could have just emailed those things to us instead of driving all the way out here.
21:23Not like you say, buddy.
21:24I'm old school.
21:26Technology, you know.
21:28Do you have a computer at home?
21:30Yes, I have a computer.
21:31Is it a dial-up?
21:39That's what it's all about, gentlemen.
21:42Repentance.
21:43It's a change in your mind that causes a change in your actions.
21:51You're going the wrong way, and by the grace of God, you start going the right way.
21:58But simply just thinking about it in your mind or feeling it in your heart, it's not enough.
22:07If the repentance is real, there'll be action that serves as evidence.
22:16A change that makes things more right.
22:23I know on the topic of change, I shared this with our pastor, but this will be the last week
22:30of me leading the group.
22:34As some of you know, God has led me into a new line of work, and for a season, I'll
22:38need to focus on my energies on that.
22:41But, you know, if you have any old electronics that need some new life breathed into them, well, I'm your
22:48guy.
22:51You're dismissed.
22:57Well, it's good to see you.
23:01Take care.
23:04Appreciate everything you've done with the group.
23:06Absolutely.
23:07Do you want to get some lunch tomorrow?
23:08Yeah, I'd love to.
23:09I'm having lunch with my mom and my daughter, but we'll do it soon.
23:13All right, buddy.
23:13Take care.
23:15Hey, if, uh, you find that CB radio, bring it to me.
23:21What was all that about in there?
23:22Yeah.
23:23You couldn't give us a warning?
23:24Trust me, it was a hard decision, but I had to do it.
23:27And it's what God wants.
23:29Yeah, I think so.
23:31I mean, can we really know for sure?
23:32I think we can be very sure.
23:34You saw how many guys we had tonight.
23:37I mean, that's on your watch.
23:39We started with five guys at your house, and now, look how it's grown.
23:45Man, you know we're behind you.
23:47If this new business is God's will for your life, but the brother to brother, I just think
23:53he's got bigger plans than that for you.
23:55Look, I hear you, but I mean, I've got to make a living, got to provide for my family.
24:00Hey, you were the one challenging us with the parable of the talents, like what, three
24:05weeks ago, taking what we've been given and using it for him.
24:09Ask any guy in this group, and they'll agree.
24:14You have a gift.
24:17And what's that?
24:21You're good with people.
24:23You understand them.
24:25You know how to figure out what's happening in their lives.
24:27Look, I just don't know that's hard for me to see.
24:30Look how you've helped both of our families.
24:33Huh?
24:35There's your evidence, detective.
24:39Hey, we love you, man.
24:41We've got to check you, right?
24:42Yeah.
24:43Just like you do for us, right?
24:45Yeah.
24:47And besides, to see a man with the talent of a race car driver, and he's going to use
24:52that talent to push shopping carts, you've got to ask yourself, is this God's plan?
24:57It's not an easy thing for us to say.
25:01But would we be real friends if we didn't?
25:03Look, I hear you both.
25:05And I'll keep my eyes open in case I'm missing something.
25:08And I will pray about it.
25:11And if you hear something, you'll take action.
25:16You are listening, huh?
25:17For once.
25:20Look, anything changes, you let us know about it, all right?
25:22All right.
25:24All right, love you guys.
25:39And on Tuesdays, we play dominoes.
25:42But nobody believes me when I tell them I learned to play the game when I was in the
25:47big house.
25:49They all say, you're just too sweet of a little old lady to have ever been there.
25:54I let them say whatever they want to.
25:57And then I beat them.
25:59Over and over.
26:01Mom, you're not putting money on those games, are you?
26:04Of course not.
26:05I wouldn't even think of it.
26:07Oh, Gary.
26:09Speaking of money, there's checks from the trust that come to my house and not yours.
26:15I haven't put these with the rest of her mail.
26:16She likes to read them, sometimes over and over.
26:20Uh, no.
26:23Those are supposed to go to your house for your company.
26:27No, Mom, these are from Aunt Martha's trust.
26:29They're yours.
26:29I know exactly what they are.
26:31I'm the one that called them and told them to send a portion of that money to your house.
26:36Well, it's to get you started with your electrics company.
26:40And that's where they're going.
26:42No.
26:43No, they are not.
26:44No, not another word.
26:46Do you hear me?
26:50Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to visit the little girl's room.
26:55Do you want me to come help you?
26:56Help?
26:58Honey, the day I can't use the bathroom by myself is the day y'all could put me in a
27:04box.
27:11How much are those checks?
27:12I don't know.
27:13I haven't opened them.
27:14I'll just put them in a folder until she comes asking for them again.
27:19How's she doing?
27:21Comes and goes.
27:22This morning she was asking if we were having lunch with Roger.
27:25Roger this, Roger that.
27:28Hmm.
27:29Roger.
27:30See one of the guys at the center?
27:32Not that I know of.
27:42Once a cop, always a cop.
27:45Well, habits are hard to break when your brain's been on duty for 18 years.
27:49Are you enjoying the new work?
27:52I'm trying to enjoy it.
27:56My friend, Logan, he just started a new IT job this week.
28:02Your friend, Logan, huh?
28:05Yeah. Like a dating friend or just a guy friend.
28:11He's special, yeah.
28:13Special.
28:14So I assume he thinks you're special too.
28:18You could say that.
28:20Hey, Mom?
28:22Over here, Doris.
28:28Oh, Ryan, that's good.
28:30So, Mom, who is Roger?
28:35Roger.
28:39Roger's the boy I was dating before Gary was born.
28:43I thought he was going to be here today.
28:49Hey, Mom, Roger, Roger who, Mom?
28:52What's his last name?
28:53You never mentioned him before.
28:55Roger.
28:57I just said it.
28:58His name is Roger.
29:00Yeah, what's his last name?
29:03You never...
29:08You told me you didn't know who my dad was.
29:11And you were dating this guy before I was born?
29:14Oh, that is so silly.
29:16Do you really think that Roger is your dad?
29:20He could have been Gary's dad.
29:23But he certainly isn't yours.
29:28I am Gary, Mom.
29:33Look at me.
29:36Who's Roger?
29:40Roger was supposed to meet us here today.
29:44Dad.
29:45And I'm mad at him now.
29:47Dad.
29:48Not right now.
29:50She's...
29:53Maybe another time.
30:03Did I tell you all about Tuesday dominoes?
30:07We play every Tuesday, but nobody believes it when I tell them that I learned to play the
30:13game in the big house.
30:32All right, God.
30:34I need your help.
30:38If this is what I'm supposed to be doing, please show me clearly.
30:44Because right now I don't know.
30:59Yeah, baby.
31:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
31:13no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
31:18no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
31:19no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
31:22no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
31:25no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
31:54A case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time is what authorities are blaming
31:58for the mix-up.
