Trey?

Trey?

hey, baby girl.

Where did you go last night, daddy?

Ohh, come here.

You want to get married someday, alice?

I do.

Then never ask a man where he's been.

Morning.

Hey.

Cook you some eggs?

Uh, no time. Sorry.

Who's calling?

Telemarketer or something.

I-I made you a sandwich -- ham and cheese.

Appreciate it. I got to run.

Seems like you've always got to run.

Better busy than not, right?

It means things are working out.

Baby gets a new pair of shoes -- maybe two.

I'm really proud of you, teddy.

You took a risk.

This rim business takes...Courage,

And it takes faith.

Yeah, faith.

I'll see you tonight.

Hello?

Woman: You have a collect call from...

Daniel.

Will you accept the charges?

Um...Yes.

Oh, sh-shit!

good morning.

I'm sorry, ted.

I've heard worse.

No, I mean...I'm sorry about the kitchen,

About...How things are.

I'm getting kind of used to it.

I thought he'd stay home for a while.

I really did.

He'll turn up.

You just see how damaged he is.

You just wonder if he'll ever be...

It's still early. He hasn't been out long.

I never really believed he would get out, ted.

Not the way amantha believed.

I just couldn't have that kind of hope.

I know you couldn't.

Lately, I've had this... Gnawing guilt

That...If I believed in him enough,

If I'd loved him enough, I could help more

In getting him out of that dreadful place.

If amantha hadn't been amantha,

He'd still be in there, ted.

You're being too hard on yourself, now.

Every time I see him,

I think about how I've failed him.

You've lost perspective, janet.

You're just not seeing things clearly right now.

That's kind.

But I think I'm seeing things very clearly, ted.

I'm sorry about what I said the other day,

About this being his house first.

You -- you saved this house, ted.

You saved the store, this family.

You saved me.

But I've never loved you the way you deserved.

And I'm very sorry about that.

It's not too late, is it?

I knew you could never love me

The same way you loved lester.

I knew that.

Or the way you might have if daniel hadn't...

If things had been different.

Not saying I liked it, but I understood.

So I imagine I can accept you

Wanting to make things better between us.

After you called, I just got in the car, and I left.

I've never done anything that impulsive,

Not in my whole life.

I can't remember the last time I-I used a pay phone --

The last time I saw one, even.

They're hard to find.

But it felt good

To use a telephone that wasn't smarter than me.

Are you okay, daniel?

The only time that I've ever felt okay

Was when I was with you.

Well, we...We'd better get on the road,

So we can get back before...

I suppose we should.

Let's just see if he's here.

And if he's not?

She'll know something's up.

She's my mother. Exactly.

Then I'll have to tell her.

Maybe daniel will just fire me.

He won't fire you. You're free.

Well, at least he's getting his money's worth.

I'm sorry, jon.

We're dysfunctional -- you included.

But it's better you're here to fill in the gaps

When she starts asking all those questions.

Mama?

Mama?

Oh. Hey, mom.

Hey.

We just thought we'd stop by.

Okay.

Is daniel here, by chance?

What's wrong?

That took 10 seconds.

We almost moved here, me and ted, after we got married.

Florida?

Teddy wanted to start a new branch of the tire store,

Break out on his own.

He had all these grand plans.

But he just couldn't leave town.

Couldn't leave his family.

It's not easy to leave

The only thing you've ever known.

How's he doing?

What do you mean?

Is he happy?

Lately...He's been happy.

I'm glad.

What is it, daniel?

I'm not a good person, tawney.

I don't believe that.

I'm telling you the truth.

Carl: How's retirement suiting you?

Ain't took to it yet.

I hope there's no hard feelings still.

If it wasn't you, been somebody else took my job, carl.

Guess folks are ready for a change.

Something's been gnawing at me.

That'll happen in this line of work.

When holden got out,

He said you had doubts he was the killer.

You want to elaborate?

What would be the point, carl?

You weren't surprised about the dna results, were you?

Wasn't shocked, no.

Why not?

We thought we were doing the right thing, carl.

And what was that?

Prosecuting holden. And now?

Roland was convinced.

Eventually, I became convinced, too.

But not initially.

There were some conflicting stories at first

With the kids and all.

What stories?

But holden put an end to that.

By confessing.

By confessing.

What happened in that interrogation room, c.J.?

You don't get the truth too easily, carl.

You know that.

So we put pressure on him.

He seemed like... A boy who was lying,

Saying he couldn't remember things,

Saying he didn't recall,

Said that he was with a girl for a while.

And we would press him for details.

He ever ask for a lawyer?

Not that I recall.

Anyway, we kept talking to him,

And eventually, he started coming around.

To the confession? Yeah.

And now you think it might have been forced or coerced?

Didn't think there was such a thing back then.

Now...I'm not certain either way.

But could I see how it might have happened?

In hindsight.

I'm not looking to go after you, c.J.,

Or roland or anybody.

I just want to make sure we get it right this time

Before it's too late.

What?

After holden confessed and the trial was over,

George melton asked to see me.

What did he say? I don't know.

I wouldn't talk to him.

Why wouldn't you talk to him?

It was over.

We believed that we had our man.

That poor girl was in the ground.

The town was beginning to settle down.

It was too late. It was just too late.

Mom, they're just looking for a way out.

They're also trying to save face.

If we push back too hard, it could become personal,
