00:00what do you mean our grandson is drowning what's happening with martin
00:07the surviving attacker came back into the country what and he recently made his presence known at
00:19fairmont crest he got a job as a bus boy at the country club did he approach you martin
00:27no he watched us he was eavesdropping on our conversations we didn't recognize him because
00:35of the plastic surgery how is this even possible someone was supposed to be keeping tabs on him
00:42well that man let us all down the attacker has been back in the country for more than a month
00:51vernon you've known this for a month and you kept it from me how could you
00:59i'm sorry
01:02i know i should have found a way to tell you tell me now tell me everything
01:12how can he be dead i just saw him a few hours ago and he was fine angry about you punching him but
01:21you said you had to go out do something to protect our family's safety oh god no smitty
01:30it wasn't me it wasn't me i swear i had nothing to do with it
01:35i just saw you coming back to me as i said yes but it wasn't my fault
01:42i was so sorry i had no idea because it was okay i thought what i needed to be
01:45if i had no idea i was able to do something and i could know what it was
01:50i was just doing that's there i was going to drop that out in the country and it was
01:54not a way to do something but i got the path of it was hoping to do something to do
01:57I thought I could manage the situation the same way we did before.
02:16Pay the man off, make sure he went away, and stayed out of our lives.
02:20But that didn't work this time.
02:23Things spun out of control.
02:25The man started trying to intimidate Martin through his children.
02:32That monster dared to think he could touch Samantha and Tyrell?
02:39They're fine.
02:41The threat was only implied.
02:44But it was enough to terrify Martin.
02:49I know when I saw that bastard in the park with Samantha, I lost it.
02:53But that was the last straw.
02:55I realized to protect my family, I had to break the hold over me.
03:01But not by killing him.
03:03By admitting the truth.
03:05So Martin scheduled a press conference.
03:07The plan was that he would confess to everything and take all the responsibility on himself.
03:17But he didn't go through with it.
03:20Well, thank God you were able to talk him out of it.
03:22That wasn't what stopped him.
03:25I was standing in front of reporters on the verge of admitting a lie that had been eating me alive for years.
03:33And no matter what the truth would cost me, nothing was worth putting our kids at risk.
03:40Then I learned.
03:43The man is dead?
03:47Gunned down.
03:49Supposedly in a robbery.
03:50Vernon, did you make this happen?
04:03Smitty, I swear.
04:05I didn't know this was going to happen.
04:06I certainly didn't want it to happen.
04:08But someone made it happen for your sake.
04:12To protect you.
04:14You must know who's responsible.
04:17Or you're going to lie to me again and tell me that you don't.
04:19Additional.
04:23So relieved you wanted to stop by.
04:25Perfect timing.
04:26I need somebody to talk me down.
04:28You know I am always here for you.
04:30I have showered.
04:32I have done every relaxation exercise I've learned in all of my years of psychotherapy.
04:37And none of it is working to bring my blood pressure down after dealing with that bitch Leslie.
04:44Leslie?
04:45Something happened with Leslie?
04:46I ran into her this morning when I was supposed to have coffee with Ted.
04:53We got into it.
04:55About Ted?
04:57No.
04:58Well, not directly.
05:00And he, he has made his bed and he can happily lie in it with all of the tacky bedbugs that he apparently likes.
05:09I confronted Leslie about almost killing Laura twice.
05:14Not that she would ever admit it.
05:17You wouldn't seriously expect her to, would you?
05:19I shouldn't have expected anything more than what I got from her.
05:24Disgusting, crass insults intended to bring me down to her level.
05:29Oh, why didn't I just walk away?
05:32Maybe because you're human, sweetie.
05:34Cut yourself a break.
05:35So, you've lost control and spit a few insults.
05:39Whatever you said, I'm sure she more than deserved it.
05:42Actually, it was a little bit more than trash talking.
05:50I came pretty damn close to strangling her.
05:53What?
05:53I know, I know, I know.
05:56It's completely unlike me.
05:59I didn't even realize I had it in me to do something like that.
06:02There's a lot of that going around.
06:04Maybe we've all just had enough of playing by the rules.
06:07Listen, I knew you would understand.
06:10But, please, can we just leave my little foray into violence between us?
06:16You know, with my dad being a retired senator and my son being a congressman,
06:19I am expected to walk around with a certain decorum in public.
06:23I think you're safe as far as that goes.
06:25Nobody's talking about anything other than Martin after that strange press conference.
06:29What press conference?
06:31You don't know?
06:33And I came here to find out from you what's going on.
06:35Oh, well, that was your first mistake.
06:37Nobody tells me a damn thing around here.
06:40I would ask what happened last night,
06:43but I get the feeling that if you wanted me to know, you would have spilled already.
06:47You're sharp as ever.
06:49I still can't imagine Daddy being more disappointed than he was when you...
06:53Than when we split?
06:55When you left me.
06:57Okay, all right.
06:58Don't you start, too.
07:00One Dupree is enough.
07:03You know, I've met my red for filth quarter.
07:05I don't need any extras.
07:07Daddy really got under your skin tonight.
07:10What did he say, exactly?
07:13Only what he knew would cut me to the core.
07:18If I'm being real, a part of me still needs your dad's approval.
07:22It's always been that way.
07:23Come on.
07:24You're too cold-blooded to care what anybody else thinks.
07:28Unless we're talking about your father.
07:30In which case, the only reason he withheld approval is because he knew you wanted it so bad.
07:36Yeah, well, I buried those Daddy issues a long time ago.
07:40But respect, you know, that's different.
07:43And I wanted that from Vernon more than anyone else.
07:45You really mean that.
07:48Yeah.
07:50Look, you're Daddy's favorite, so you'll never understand.
07:55To me, he's...
07:57Well, he's not just my ex-father-in-law.
07:59I mean, the man has flaws, sure.
08:02But he's the legendary Vernon Dupree.
08:06The way he came at my throat.
08:11Damned if I didn't admire how he did it.
08:13I had nothing to do with that man's death.
08:21I only intended to do the same thing we did two years ago.
08:26But I wanted to stay completely an arm's length away from it.
08:31So I left more of the details up to Bill.
08:35That was my crucial mistake.
08:37You know, you could never have imagined Bill's response to blackmail would be murder.
08:47I should have known to keep a tighter rein on him.
08:51Or at least insist that he cut Joey Armstrong from the arrangements altogether.
08:56Oh, God, Joey Armstrong.
08:59And this was their simple-minded solution to our problem.
09:04Bill probably claimed that this result is what I wanted all along.
09:11To let them do the dirty work.
09:14You have the kind of moral fiber they can only imagine.
09:18There are lines you would never cross.
09:22Bill seems to feel that we should be grateful if you can believe that.
09:26That this was the only sure way that they could protect us from a vengeful and sadistic stalker.
09:35No, Bill knows good and well that this is not how you intended for them to handle things.
09:40He's just using it as an excuse.
09:42But that's what happens when you come under the toxic influence of a man like Joey Armstrong.
09:47The outcome like this is probably inevitable from the moment you get involved with a man like that.
09:53And we tried so hard to keep Martin from knowing he was involved.
09:57But I'm sure he knows now.
09:59Oh, he knows now.
10:02That was one of the reasons he decided he wanted to come forward.
10:06So that he wouldn't be in Armstrong's debt.
10:09And now they're tied together forever.
10:19One thing I know for sure, my grandfather wasn't behind this.
10:23He was there at the press conference.
10:26I saw his face when he found out what happened.
10:29And he was just as stunned as I was.
10:32Even more furious.
10:34Who does Vernon think did this?
10:36You know what?
10:38Don't tell me.
10:39I have a pretty good idea already.
10:41I was really wondering whether or not I can trust you to be honest with me.
10:44This isn't about withholding information from you.
10:48Not now.
10:50My family didn't even tell me what was going on.
10:53They insisted I was protected.
10:56Hell, I didn't even know my father was the one who performed plastic surgery on that racist.
11:02My dad and I still haven't spoke about it.
11:05And that's how out of the loop I was.
11:07You were in the loop about some things.
11:09Like you knew that Marcel Malone was involved and then you kept him involved when you asked him for protection for our family.
11:16Do you think he's involved in this?
11:19I don't know.
11:20I swear.
11:21What about Joey Armstrong?
11:25He was there at the press conference.
11:29And I don't think it was a coincidence.
11:34Smitty, I never spoke to Armstrong about any of this.
11:38Until recently, I didn't even know he had anything to do with it.
11:43Stop trying to spin this.
11:46Joey Armstrong being involved is not okay.
11:49None of this is okay.
11:54Okay.
11:55What is not okay?
11:57Kids, please just go back to your room.
12:00Your pop and I need to finish talking.
12:02You've had long enough, Dad.
12:05Me and Samantha need to know what's going on.
12:12You're right.
12:14Sit down.
12:16Let me fill you in.
12:17Vernon, we have talked every day since I left town.
12:29And I can't believe in all those conversations, you never hinted at what you were dealing with here.
12:36And even when I came home for a visit and you could have told me face to face, you didn't.
12:41Why would you shut me out like that?
12:43See, I honestly thought we had the situation under control.
12:48Plus, I didn't want to interfere with your reunion with your old friends, especially since it took you so long to make it all happen.
12:56Yeah, well, you don't have to worry about that.
12:58We managed to sabotage it all by ourselves.
13:01Don't tell me the reunion is off.
13:04It is.
13:05But I don't need to go into the sordid details.
13:07We have more important things to deal with right now.
13:10But you know what?
13:12Maybe that's why it fell apart.
13:14Maybe deep down, I sensed that my family needed me.
13:18More than a couple of unappreciative, bickering, former groupmates ever would.
13:27Oh, that made you smile, huh?
13:29I missed you so much.
13:32Even if you're angry with me, I'm just so glad you're back home.
13:37Martin, we need to work out how to handle this with the family and the public.
13:45Did the press get any whiff of?
13:48Martin cut the press conference short before he revealed anything.
13:52But it did get a fair amount of media attention.
13:59Danny and Nicole are going to have a lot of questions.
14:02Especially Nicole.
14:03Do you regret we didn't include her in this?
14:10What was Martin and Ted involved?
14:12And this is just the worst possible time this could blow up when she's so vulnerable.
14:20And I just pray that she doesn't react to what we did by pulling away.
14:26When now is the time she needs us most.
14:29I'm only seeing snippets about this conference.
14:33I was there when it happened.
14:34Or rather, didn't happen.
14:37I happened to be at Orphe Jean's meeting with a client.
14:41Oh, wait.
14:41Here's something.
14:45Why is Bill in this photo?
14:47I was surprised he was there, too.
14:48For some reason, Martin only had one staff member on hand.
14:52Bill was acting like he was his spokesman.
14:56That's strange.
14:57I thought the two of them were barely on speaking terms after the way Bill treated Danny.
15:02Not from what I saw.
15:03Bill was very supportive.
15:05He talked up Martin, and what a good job he does representing his district.
15:09Then Martin started to give your basic political speech.
15:11How grateful and honored he feels to have been elected.
15:14How much he wants to live up to his grandfather's legacy.
15:18Wait, here's something.
15:19It says he abruptly canceled the event due to a family emergency.
15:23Which is why I came to talk to you.
15:25I haven't heard of any family emergency.
15:29What is going on?
15:31Around two years ago, Granddad and I were driving back from a political event.
15:38While on a country road, we got a flat tire.
15:41We were changing it, and a man in a big truck pulled over and tried to rob us at gunpoint.
15:51Oh my gosh.
15:54Granddad and I tried to talk him down, but he said some racial slurs, and he knocked Granddad down.
16:01He hurt great-grandpa?
16:03Both of us were scared we weren't going to make it back home.
16:08But I was able to knock the gun out of his hand and fight him off.
16:13I'm glad you're okay.
16:15So, is that what this is all about?
16:17We were lucky.
16:23Things could have been worse.
16:26Did the police catch him?
16:28I hope he's running in jail right now.
16:30Who is this guy?
16:31I want to search him.
16:33You guys are not going to understand this, but...
16:36We didn't report this to the police.
16:39Pop.
16:39You always tell us to do that when we're in trouble.
16:43Yeah, that is some serious do what I say and not what I do.
16:46I know, I know, but Granddad and I couldn't trust that the cops in that area would believe I was acting in self-defense.
16:57We realized that it would be our word against his.
17:02So we didn't risk it.
17:05You just let him go?
17:07Yes.
17:08And I didn't see him again until this year.
17:12He got a job as a busboy at the club.
17:16And again here.
17:19When he showed up and he was playing chess with you, Tyrell.
17:24Kenny was the racist who tried to rob you?
17:27I see why you were so shook, but...
17:29Why didn't you just say that?
17:32Why didn't you tell us the truth from the very beginning?
17:34You don't know how much I wish I could.
17:38I mean, this ugly incident, I thought it was better for you not to know.
17:45I wanted to protect you.
17:47Sometimes protecting people ends up hurting them even more.
17:50I know that now.
17:51And I never imagined he would follow me here, let alone become a threat to all of you.
18:00So what do we do about Kenny now?
18:02Can we, like, get a restraining order on him or something?
18:05You don't have to worry about Kenny anymore.
18:13He's gone.
18:13Okay, so here's what wasn't in that article.
18:22Bill interrupted Martin when he was speaking and showed him something on his phone.
18:26Whatever it was seemed to hit Martin hard.
18:29He could barely stand.
18:30Oh my God, I hope it's not something that has to do with the children.
18:33I don't think so, because Martin didn't rush right out.
18:36He stayed for a while and got in an intense conversation with Bill and your father.
18:41Then after Martin left, your dad laid into Bill.
18:45And the look on his face burning was just furious.
18:49Like, I've never seen him.
18:51I couldn't hear what they were talking about.
18:53I didn't know whether I should bring it up to you.
18:54You absolutely should.
18:56And it's more than my family's doing these days.
18:58I have actual advanced degrees in helping people solve problems.
19:03But for some reason, I seem to be the last person that my family wants to turn to for help.
19:08Babe, from what I could see, Martin's in some kind of trouble.
19:12I recommend you don't wait for an invitation to get involved.
19:16Thanks, Vanessa.
19:17I'm going to find him and talk to him right now.
19:20Now, Nicole and Danny are going to have to understand that two years ago, under extreme circumstances,
19:29we did what we thought best for Martin and this family.
19:34I know that's not going to satisfy Nicole.
19:37We kept a big secret from her about her own son.
19:42And honestly, our good intentions aren't enough to satisfy me anymore, either.
19:52Thanks to our advice that Martin keep this secret,
19:57he hasn't been able to confide in his mother or his husband
20:01about all he's been through the past two years.
20:05Because we wanted him to go on with his life as if that night never happened,
20:12because it never should have happened.
20:15But Martin needed not just to forget, Martin needed to heal.
20:22He needed his husband's support.
20:25Well, I assume he's told Smitty about that night by now,
20:29since he was going to announce it at a press conference to the whole world.
20:32That conversation is happening as we speak.
20:37I can only imagine how upset Smitty will be.
20:42I hope he can find it within himself
20:45to give Martin the support he needs.
20:50Our grandson needs his family now more than he ever has.
20:59Why did Kenny leave? Did you pay him to?
21:01No.
21:03Good.
21:04Because I wouldn't want you to reward him for being a disgusting racist.
21:07Did he leave because of the press conference?
21:11I didn't know you knew about that.
21:13It was all over my socials.
21:15Were you planning to expose Kenny?
21:17Kenny, your pop realized a little too late
21:23that being honest was the best way to deal with the situation.
21:29And Tyrell, if you're wondering why your pop scheduled a press conference
21:32without talking to the family about it first,
21:34you're not alone.
21:36I guess pop's plan worked.
21:37Kenny probably ran because he realized how much trouble he would be in if the truth came out.
21:41Why didn't you go through with it?
21:44Why didn't you end the press conference early?
21:47Did you and Kenny make some kind of deal?
21:49No deals.
21:51He's gone.
21:52So this story can stay...
21:54Wait, what?
21:55Why are you still being so salty, Dad?
21:59You wanted pop to explain and now he has.
22:02It just turned out that his big secret was that he saved Granddad's life.
22:07You can't punish him for being a hero.
22:09It's not about punishment.
22:12Then what?
22:14Maybe the fact that pop has been lying to us from the beginning.
22:17But he already said he was sorry.
22:19What else is he supposed to do?
22:20Hey, I don't want you fighting with your dad and your brother.
22:24I made some huge mistakes on how I dealt with this situation.
22:29And they have a right to be upset.
22:31Okay, you're trying to make it right.
22:36I am.
22:38And I'm going to keep trying.
22:40It's going to take more than apologies to undo the damage.
22:46I understand that.
22:47I can't make you any promises right now.
22:52Right now or ever.
22:56I just can't.
23:00I won't be far.
23:02You'll always be able to reach me.
23:06Take care of yourselves.
23:08All of you.
23:11Pop, wait.
23:13It's okay, sweetheart.
23:15It's okay.
23:17I'll talk to her.
23:44I promise not to make a habit of stopping by unexpectedly.
23:56No problem from my favorite mother-in-law.
23:59I have to admit, I am relieved that everything seems normal around here.
24:05It is what it is.
24:07Where's Martin?
24:07Hey, Samantha.
24:12Hi, Grandma.
24:13Are you okay?
24:14Did I come at a bad time?
24:16I thought I heard the door and I thought that it might be Pop.
24:20Are you expecting him back soon?
24:23Martin's not staying here right now.
24:29Martin didn't say anything to me.
24:31It just happened.
24:36Oh, sweetheart.
24:39I was worried when I heard about that strange press conference.
24:44But that couldn't have been about him not being here.
24:49He wouldn't go public with that before telling me or the rest of the family.
24:52You are right.
24:53The press conference was about something else.
24:59Something that Martin should explain for himself.
25:01Oh, I will definitely be talking to him as soon as possible.
25:08You.
25:09Remember.
25:09You and your brother have a family that adores you.
25:15Whatever you need, we are here for you.
25:18Okay?
25:19That goes for all of you.
25:22Thank you, Nicole.
25:24We appreciate that.
25:32Why is it so much easier unpacking than packing?
25:36Most people would say the opposite.
25:38Packing is the fun part.
25:41Not if you're happy to be coming back home.
25:44What is this, coffee at this hour?
25:47I thought no caffeine in the evenings.
25:49I have a feeling it's going to be a very long night.
25:55Have you heard from Martin since the press conference?
25:59Not yet.
26:03I assume he's telling Smitty everything.
26:06He will.
26:10I'm sure he will.
26:13Uh, there's one thing I forgot to mention.
26:17Oh, God.
26:18There's more?
26:20On his job, Smitty was assigned to do a profile on Detective Marcel Malone.
26:28Tell me you're joking.
26:30It was just intended to be a glowing send-off to a soon-to-be retired veteran of the force.
26:38But Smitty being Smitty, he did a deep dive.
26:42How much did he uncover?
26:45Well, he's looking into Malone's unsavory connections to Joey Armstrong.
26:52And he reached out to Jacob to compare notes.
26:55Now, the two of them have been digging into Malone's internal affairs records.
27:03And Smitty knows there was a strange man in town following his children.
27:07So it's just a matter of time before he puts the pieces together.
27:11And if Martin has told him everything, what is Smitty going to do with that information?
27:16We're talking about a man who has built his career on uncovering corruption.
27:21One of the many things that make him a perfect partner for Martin.
27:25And he is certainly not going to be comfortable being part of a...
27:28Conspiracy?
27:29Oh, please.
27:31Don't use that word.
27:32Well, call it what you may.
27:33I'm just hoping that Smitty will understand more than most what the consequences of exposure would be.
27:42And I'm hoping that his sense of loyalty to his husband will outweigh every other concern.
28:04Hey, Samantha.
28:08I'm going to bed.
28:09That's definitely different from this afternoon when she was eager to be a part of our conversation.
28:16Yeah, the kids have had a long day.
28:20I'm pretty tired, too, if you want to know the truth.
28:24Nah, that's cool.
28:24I won't be long.
28:26I just want to let you know about a very interesting development.
28:29An unidentified man was found dead at a local park this afternoon.
28:33Single gunshot wound.
28:34Looked like a robbery.
28:37Wow.
28:37That's, uh...
28:41That's terrible, but...
28:44What does that have to do with me?
28:46Wait till you hear who discovered the body.
28:48Marcel Malone.
28:54Malone found a dead body.
28:55I mean, it's hardly his first.
28:58And they probably don't even know who the guy is, right?
29:01No, but I intend to find out.
29:04But it wouldn't surprise me if the victim somehow had beef with Joey Armstrong or he got in his way.
29:09That kind of seems like a stretch, Jacob.
29:13I mean, yeah, Malone's on the take and he does the occasional favor for Armstrong, but it's a big leap between that and what you're suggesting.
29:21Wait, am I hearing you right?
29:24Are you actually defending Malone's character and integrity?
29:27No, not at all.
29:28I mean, the guy's as dirty as the day is long.
29:31I'm just saying that sometimes when you have a theory, all the information you see tends to support that theory.
29:39But sometimes the dots just don't connect.
29:43You mean to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
29:45Look, I don't need a lecture on confirmation bias.
29:48That's not what this is.
29:49My gut is telling me this guy didn't just die because of a robbery.
29:53And Marcel didn't just happen to stumble across his body.
29:56There's more to this.
29:57I can smell it.
29:59Yeah.
30:01You're right.
30:02Anything is possible.
30:04I'm sorry.
30:05I just, I can't focus on this right now.
30:08I can really use your help figuring this out.
30:11Jacob, I want to, but I can't.
30:17Wait, there's something else going on here.
30:20Something that has nothing to do with your work or mine.
30:24I didn't want to say anything, but Martin moved out tonight.
30:30Oh, man, I'm sorry to hear that, Smitty.
30:33Is there anything I can do?
30:35I know that sounds trite, but...
30:38Yeah, it does.
30:40But, no, thank you.
30:42I just, I wanted to explain to you why I couldn't help with the investigation right now.
30:49Because of what's going on with Martin, I get it.
30:51Yeah.
30:53Yeah, because of Martin.
30:58I don't get why you and Dad are so mad at Pop.
31:01You feel how you feel, and I'll do the same.
31:04How about Dad spilling all the tea to Jacob about Pop leaving?
31:08I think he already told Grandma, but he didn't say anything to her about why.
31:12If Pop won't start to know, he'll spill for himself.
31:15How is any of this fair?
31:18Pop's being forced to put himself on blast.
31:22So everybody won't think that he did something wrong.
31:25Like he cheated on Dad or whatever.
31:28Like Grandpa cheated on Grandma before Aunt Kat was even born.
31:31And now they're broken up.
31:33What was Dad supposed to do?
31:34Smile and say, all good, you cat for me all these years?
31:38Come on.
31:39He should just forgive him.
31:40They should just forgive each other.
31:42That's what married folks are supposed to do.
31:44They're not supposed to split up like Grandma and Grandpa.
31:48I don't even think they talk to each other anymore.
31:54Dad will forgive Pop.
31:56They love each other.
31:58Then Dad should have just let Pop sleep on the couch
32:02instead of making him leave so it's everybody's business.
32:06And Dad's just supposed to hide everything
32:08and keep the lives rolling?
32:10Yeah, that's real healthy.
32:13And you keep it up.
32:15You'll be the next Pop.
32:20I gave the kids a sanitized version of what happened.
32:24Now that they're involved,
32:27they deserve to know as much as I can tell them safely.
32:31But I told Smitty everything, though.
32:37And as you can see what his reaction is,
32:41not that I blame him.
32:46Granddad and I were just discussing how
32:48how much we regret pressuring you into keeping this from him.
32:53It was deeply unfair to both of you.
32:56No.
32:58This is not your fault.
33:00I'm a grown man.
33:01And it was my call.
33:04And the fact is,
33:06if I would have come home
33:08two years ago that night
33:11and told Smitty what I had done,
33:15he wouldn't have gone along with covering it up.
33:21He would have stood by me
33:23and he would have insisted
33:25that I come forward and face the repercussions.
33:28And he would have been right.
33:35Today's events have made me realize
33:37I was dead wrong
33:40to set all of this in motion.
33:45I know my goal was to protect my grandson
33:49and he had just saved my life.
33:53But I was acting out of fear.
33:55And you had every right to be afraid.
33:58That county has a long and ugly history.
34:03Every time I read about a black man
34:06being assaulted during a traffic stop,
34:09I shudder to think what have happened to the two of you
34:12had you admitted to killing a white man
34:14and maiming another, even in self-defense.
34:17I could have managed the risks
34:19without trying to bury the story altogether.
34:23I have decades of relationships and connections
34:27we could have used to ease our way through
34:29the appropriate legal channels.
34:32There would have been serious, perhaps,
34:36career-ending repercussions.
34:38But we wouldn't have the death of another man
34:42on our conscience right now.
34:44Martin Martin.
34:46Martin Martin.
34:48I need to be very clear about this.
34:51The situation we're facing tonight
34:54is not like the situation back then.
34:59It's even more perilous.
35:01there is no way that we can come forward now without implicating joey armstrong
35:10and he will not hesitate to retaliate
35:16hypocrite much tyro i remember you being the ceo of front when you didn't want to tell our dads
35:25that everybody at school was dragging you not the same i just wanted our dads to stay out of my
35:32business they had nothing to do with it if i had known that there was a racist stalker coming after
35:39them i would have spilled that information but i had no clue who i was dealing with as i brought
35:47him into the house and would have popped in to find you at the park with him wouldn't know what
35:53he would have done to you okay so he should have just told us sooner but now we have all the tea
36:00so no harm no vow you're sure why not how do you know they're not telling one part of the story they
36:09think we can handle because i was eyeing them pretty close the way they were talk without talking
36:16and there's more going on that we don't know about
36:20i guess martin took it literally when you gave him the old tomatum and told him not to come home
36:27did you at least have a chance to talk him out of it at this point i'm starting to think that it was
36:33for the best i don't even recognize the man that martin's become how are the kids taking it
36:40they're taking it hard of course i mean they knew we had problems but they didn't see this coming
36:49yeah i would have never predicted it either martin adores you all it's hard to believe he'd just walk
36:56away it's hard to believe a lot about what our family has been through lately
37:02but i hope that you can understand why i have to focus on samantha and tyrell right now of course
37:10if there's anything naomi and i can do just let us know we'll do thank you all right
37:32smitty understands how precarious this situation is that's why he's upset
37:40because he's trapped in this like the rest of us and he didn't have a say in any of it
37:47would it help if i talked to smitty explained and apologized i appreciate the instinct
37:54but i think it's best if we give him the time and space he asked for
38:00let him come to terms with this in his own way
38:03you are welcome to stay here as long as you need
38:09and the children are welcome too there's plenty of space thanks grant
38:14we are here for you martin no matter what we can depend on each other
38:30someone needs to tell me what the hell is going on here
38:33the truth isn't just revealed it's deadly
38:41what i'm about to tell you will demand not only your attention
38:45but your willingness to confront the aftermath
38:48new beyond the gates cbs weekdays
38:51the truth is
