Your Worst Nightmare

NORTH BEND IS A SLEEPY SUBURB OF SEATTLE.

I THINK IT HAS 6,500 RESIDENTS.

BUT IT'S - - IT'S DIFFERENT IN THAT

THERE'S SO MUCH THAT IT OFFERS OF THE NORTHWEST.

YOU HAVE THE MOUNTAINS. YOU HAVE HIKING.

YOU HAVE FISHING.

IT'S THIS ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

THAT HAS ALWAYS APPEALED TO 26-YEAR-OLD

NORTH BEND RESIDENT TENNYSON JACOBSON

AND HER HUSBAND, KYLE.

COME ON, TENNY. YOU GOT THIS.

ONE MORE, ALL THE WAY UP.

MY WIFE, TENNYSON, IS JUST SUCH A - -

A GREAT, YOU KNOW, WIFE, MOTHER,

AND FRIEND TO PEOPLE,

ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHERS,

YOU KNOW, JUST A SUPER, KINDHEARTED, AWESOME WOMAN.

THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT.

DROP IT. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

WE OWN A GYM TOGETHER,

AND SHE WORKS OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

SHE'S A PETITE WOMAN. BUT SHE IS STRONG.

SHE'S SCRAPPY.

SHE KINDA PACKS A PUNCH.

COME ON, TENNY.

THREE, TWO, ONE, TIME.

WATER.

YOU ARE KILLING IT THIS WEEK, BABE.

THANKS, BABY.

KYLE'S A FIREFIGHTER FOR THE CITY OF KIRKLAND.

HE IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST PEOPLE I KNOW.

I KNOW HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME.

THAT WAS FIVE ROUNDS. REALLY?

YEAH. YOU'RE UP ON THE BOARD.

- THAT'S NOT BAD. - NO.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON. GOTTA STRETCH.

- ALREADY? - YEAH.

KYLE AND TENNYSON,

AT THE TIME, THEY WERE NEWLY MARRIED,

HAD A BABY,

YOU KNOW, YOUNG COUPLE STARTING A FAMILY.

HI, SWEET GIRL.

- HEY, SWEETIE. - HEY, RYAN.

- HEY, GUYS. - HEY.

HEY. HOW'S CONSTRUCTION?

YEAH. IT'S MOVIN' ALONG.

WE HAD A MINOR LITTLE SNAG WITH THE PERMITS.

BUT, UM, HOPEFULLY, WE'RE BACK ON TRACK.

OKAY. HEY. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A PAINTER.

MY COUSIN'LL GIVE YOU A GOOD DEAL.

- THANKS, MAN. - ALL RIGHT.

- THANK YOU. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

- HAVE A GOOD ONE. - YOU TOO.

KYLE AND I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY

TO BE ABLE TO BUILD A HOME

ON, KYLE'S PARENTS', PROPERTY.

WE MOVED IN WITH MY MOM TO SAVE IN RENT.

AND, MY MOM WAS AMAZING AT HELPING WITH OUR DAUGHTER.

SO IT WAS KEY TO HELP US

GET TO THE NEXT STAGE IN LIFE, I GUESS.

- HEY. - YES.

THOUGHT YOU COULD USE THIS.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.

SHE'S JUST PERFECT, ISN'T SHE?

SO YOU TWO DECIDED

YET WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR MOTHER'S DAY?

MY FOLKS OFFERED UP

THEIR VACATION HOME FOR THE WEEKEND.

THAT'S PERFECT. IT'LL DO YOU GOOD TO GET AWAY.

- YEAH. - ENJOY SOME TIME ALONE.

I'LL HAVE THIS LITTLE ANGEL ALL TO MYSELF.

ARE YOU SURE THOUGH, MOM?

I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN AWAY FROM HER YET.

IT'LL BE FINE. JUST GO.

NICK SAID HE WOULD COVER AT THE GYM FOR US.

REALLY? I MEAN, OKAY,

AS LONG AS WE CAN BE BACK FOR THE ACTUAL DAY.

WORKS FOR ME.

WORKS FOR ME, TOO.

THANK YOU. LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU TOO, SWEETIE.

MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND, WE WENT OVER EAST,

THE MOUNTAINS TO KYLE'S PARENTS' HOME

ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER.

SO WE SPENT OUR WEEKEND THERE,

JUST HANGING OUT AND RELAXING.

I'M SO GLAD WE DID THIS.

ME TOO.

JUST THINK, PRETTY SOON,

WE'LL BE SITTING OUT ON OUR BRAND-NEW DECK

IN OUR VERY OWN BACKYARD.

WE CAN HAVE DINNER OUT THERE EVERY NIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT. YOU'LL DO THE GROWING.

I'LL DO THE EATING.

- REALLY? - YEAH.

- IS THAT HOW IT'S GONNA BE? - THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE.

- CHEERS TO THAT. - YEAH, WHATEVER.

BUT HONESTLY, SOMETIMES,

I THINK WE HAVE A NEW HOME,

AMAZING HUSBAND, BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL.

I JUST FEEL REALLY, REALLY LUCKY.

YOU DESERVE IT.

YOU DESERVE ALL OF IT.

THE TRUTH IS,

WOMEN SERVE ONLY ONE PURPOSE.

AND THAT'S TO DESTROY YOU

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT A WOMAN WANTS TO DO

SO SHE CAN FEEL EQUAL TO A MAN.

WOMEN ARE HORRIBLE,

MISERABLE...

EVIL, EVIL CREATURES.

AND THEY MUST BE STOPPED.

THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY,

KYLE AND TENNYSON RETURN HOME TO NORTH BEND,

RESTED AND READY TO ENJOY TIME WITH FAMILY.

WE CAME BACK TO NORTH BEND.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE PLANNING A NICE DINNER

AND TO CELEBRATE HER FIRST MOTHER'S DAY,

A PRETTY SPECIAL EVENT.

SO WE WERE BOTH EXCITED FOR IT.

- SHE'S GONNA LOVE THAT. - I THINK SO, TOO.

I'M HEADED TO THE GYM FOR A QUICK WORKOUT.

- BE BACK LATER. - OKAY.

AND DON'T FORGET, 00 TONIGHT.

OKAY.

OUR CROSSFIT GYM WAS GOING TO REGIONALS.

SO MY BUDDY, HAD A - - I TALKED WITH HIM.

WE WERE GONNA GO TO THE GYM AND JUST DO ONE OF THE WORKOUTS.

HAVE A GOOD WORKOUT.

MY HOUSE ALWAYS FELT LIKE A SAFE,

YOU KNOW, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU JUST NEVER - -

YOU NEVER THINK ANYTHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN.

AND SO I LEFT.

NANA MUST HAVE TIRED YOU OUT.

I NOTICED SOMEBODY COMING UP OUR STEPS.

HE JUST KEPT WALKING TOWARDS THE DOOR.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I WAS PETRIFIED.

AT HOME IN NORTH BEND, WASHINGTON,

26-YEAR-OLD TENNYSON JACOBSON

HAS JUST RECEIVED AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR.

MY HUSBAND WASN'T THERE,

SO I KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE HIM TO PROTECT ME.

AND MY MOM WAS IN ANOTHER ROOM, SO I JUST FELT ALONE.

HELP!

HELP! SOMEONE - -

I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS GONNA TAKE ME

OR IF HE WAS GONNA TAKE MY DAUGHTER

OR WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO.

I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU.

I JUST WANT YOUR MONEY.

HERE. HERE...

HE JUST STARED AT ME,

AND IT WAS THIS EVIL, POSSESSED LOOK OF, "I HATE YOU."

HE SMACKED HER SO HARD THAT HIS BASEBALL CAP WENT FLYING.

HELP!

HEY! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?

HERE!

LOCK THE DOOR!

HURRY, MOM! I WAS FREAKING OUT.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I THINK MY INITIAL RESPONSE WAS JUST TO RUN TO MY DAUGHTER.

SO I RAN TO HER AND PICKED HER UP

AND THEN CALLED 911 AS SOON AS I COULD.

MEANWHILE, ACROSS TOWN,

TENNYSON'S HUSBAND, KYLE, HAS JUST ARRIVED AT THE GYM.

OUR GYM WAS PROBABLY 12 OR 15 MINUTES FROM THE HOUSE.

SO ANY BIG PLANS FOR MOTHER'S DAY?

BREAKFAST IN BED. KIDS GAVE HER CARDS.

I GAVE HER A GIFT CERTIFICATE

TO THE SALON SHE LIKES.

YOU? MAN.

GONNA CHECK OUT THAT NEW ITALIAN PLACE.

- YOU EVER BEEN? - NAH.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

WE'D JUST STARTED WARMIN' UP

WHEN I GOT THE CALL FROM TENNYSON.

HEY. GIVE ME A SECOND.

HEY. HEY. HEY.

SLOW DOWN A SECOND. WHAT - -

WHAT?

AND SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY STILL VERY UPSET.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT GOT ME KINDA FREAKED OUT

ABOUT HER SAFETY AND OUR SAFETY,

ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND...

HOLD ON.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY.

YEAH, I'LL BE RIGHT HOME.

IT'S MY WIFE. SHE'S - - SHE'S BEEN ATTACKED.

- WHAT? SHE GOT ATTACKED? - I GOT - - I GOTTA GO.

DUDE, DO YOU NEED HELP, MAN? IS SHE OKAY?

IT'S KINDA CLICHé TO THINK, YOU KNOW,

THIS'LL NEVER HAPPEN TO ME.

BUT, I MEAN, I TRULY DID BELIEVE THAT.

BACK AT THE HOUSE,

KING COUNTY SHERIFF'S DETECTIVES RESPOND TO THE SCENE

AND WASTE NO TIME COLLECTING INFORMATION.

THIS WAS TENNYSON'S HOME THAT SHE GREW UP IN.

AND I - - I THINK IT REALLY TOOK HER BY SURPRISE.

THERE'S ALWAYS AN ELEMENT OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT - -
