- Can I get one? Hey. - Hey.
So, what'd you find out?
- Kid paints a rosy picture of them.
Nagel was good. I mean, she's always good
but there's something about moms.
- Emma never heard them fight?
- She thinks they love each other.
- [chuckles]
Kids see what they want.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
- Yeah, I guess.
You know, a couple weeks ago, I'm walking down Michigan.
I see Michael Jordan getting into a limo.
First thing that pops into my head is I gotta tell my ex.
'Cause she worshipped Michael. It's weird, huh?
I don't know what it is.
We can't be in a room ten minutes,
but somewhere in the back of my head,
there's a small part of me that wonders
when she's gonna come back.
- You'd get back together. - [laughs]
You'd have to try one of us for murder.
- [laughs] - I don't know.
But I always think about it. It's weird.
Maybe it's what happens when you have a kid with someone.
The family thing or all that.
- He should be here any minute.
- Good morning. Thank you for coming in.
- What is she doing here?
- I hope we're here for an apology.
From all of you.
- That'll be the day.
- [clears throat]
Mrs. Reynolds and her lawyer have agreed to take a deal.
- Smartest thing she's ever done.
- She agreed to plead to manslaughter
in exchange for a five-year prison sentence.
- Good.
- Bastard.
- [laughs] See what I have to put up with?
- You? What kind of father
pretends to kidnap his own daughter?
- That's never been established.
- [scoffs] I'm sorry, Mr. Stone.
I don't want the deal anymore.
- It's a good deal, Jane. - No, he gets
full custody of Emma?
How often do you think he's gonna
bring her to prison to visit me?
- If we lose at trial, you could do ten years.
- I have to at least try.
- That's fine by me.
- Please stand.
- I'll arrange bail, Jane.
- You know, raising a child is about a lot more
than buying her some rainbow kite.
- Well, most kids don't need to live
in a four bedroom in Lincoln Park.
- You've already ruined my life.
And now you're gonna destroy Emma too.
[scoffs] To think I loved you once.
- Ah, Jesus Christ. Do you know why
I made you go to Car-A-La-Carte?
- Shut up, Ted.
- Because that is what I had to do every time
I wanted to take Emma anywhere.
And the four banks?
That's so you could see what it's like chasing after a buck.
Four jobs I had to work to pay for you
to live like a damn princess.
You didn't listen to me.
I asked you to modify the alimony.
I begged you.
Ah, what the hell. It was me, I did it.
I threatened her and I'd do it again.
- That is not a confession. - Yes. Yes, it is.
She's taken everything already, I don't--
I don't have anything left.
Yeah, yeah, come on.
- Ted Reynolds, you're under arrest
for the murder of Christopher Jones.
Again.
- Under the circumstances--
- One year probation.

- Jail for him, probation for her.
Another kid growing up without her dad.
- Chris's mom, staring at photos in an album.
Five lives ruined.
- Another quirky donut.
- Close enough. - Bizarre.
- He hates her, but he'll go to prison for 20 years for her.
- Hm. Justice isn't the only thing that's blind.
- Mm. - You wanna
grab a drink with us? - No, thanks.
I'm gonna go home and kiss my wife.
And take a long, hot shower.
