"Apples Never Fall"...


It's 19 years of Dad

blaming me and hating me

because Mom

wouldn't tell the truth?

- I still can't believe it.

- Which part?

That she lied

or lied for that long?

What have you done?

How are things at home?

I don't know.

Quiet,

especially without Savannah.

I actually was asking

how things are with Dad.

Do you remember Tyler Cruz?

He took lessons at the academy.

Hey, Coach.

I hired him to represent you.

"Mrs. D got what's

coming to her.

$50K and I'll tell you

everything."

Hello. Do you know something

about what happened?

Oh, sure.

I'll tell you

once you hand over

that 50 grand you promised.

On April 9th, he accidentally

kept his recorder going

and captured a fight

between him and your mom.

[items clattering]

- Stan, don't!


Don't! Stop!

Plead guilty.

Show remorse.

Maybe you'll even get out

on parole in your lifetime.

[suspenseful music]

Stan Delaney,

you are under arrest

for the m*rder of your wife,

Joy Delaney.

Stan.

Honestly, I would love to see

doubles play

get more attention.

Some of the most dynamic

matches I have ever seen--

Stan?

Yeah?

Can you come out here?

Hey.

When did you get home?

You read this?

From Harry's memoir?

Yeah.

The publishers wanted me

to verify a few things.

He admits it right here.

Admits to cheating

when he was a kid.

Yeah, he does.

Yeah?

What do you mean, yeah?

Did you know he cheated?

Well, kids cheat sometimes.

It's not just Harry.

How long have you known?

Always?

You saw it back when--

oh, my God.

And you never said anything?

No, you did the opposite.

You defended him

against your own son?

Jesus, Stan.

All this time, not one word?

Why?

Stop it, Joy.

Wait, I know why.

Because he was your prodigy.

You thought he was your ticket.

More important to defend him

than your own son.

Let's not make a mountain

out of this, shall we?

Do you know

how much sleep I lost?

How many years I lost

just worrying about you

and Troy and Harry

and all of it?

[scoffs]

Even after I came clean

about sending Harry away,

you couldn't be bothered

to say something?

Do you really want

to bring up

the whole Harry thing

again now?

Yes, yes, because

I'm still paying for it.

I'm still in the doghouse

with you, with the kids.

Months later, they're

still screening my calls.

All I've ever done is just try

to protect this family.

And the whole time,

you were just protecting

your own ego,

your idea of yourself

as this mighty coach.

That is bullshit,

and you know it.

Oh, really?

Because I've seen the way that

you hang on to that sad box

of Harry's trophies.

You'll never get rid of it.

You're too f*cking vain.

[drawer slams]

I've sacrificed everything.

My career, my body, everything,

just to make you look good.

To make you happy.

Stan Delaney,

great coach, great dad.

All those times

you walked out the door,

I covered for you

with the kids, at the academy.

The years I have wasted

covering for you!

All right,

you made your point!

You're a g*dd*mn martyr!

Who balanced the books

the entire time

we ran the academy?

Who stayed up half the night

and ran themselves ragged

just trying to make sure

that the kids were fed

and the bills were paid

and the students were happy?

I mean, what am I to you?

A maid? A secretary? A cook?

You think you protected me?

You betrayed me!

You wanted kids right away.

You threw away your career.

And you had an affair, not me!

From where I stand, you got

everything you ever wanted.

I was right, you know?

You weren't a good enough coach

or player!

If it wasn't for me, you'd be

another washed-up tennis hack.

I mean, you made me feel like

I was worth something,

The happiest I've ever been

in my entire life

was in your home.

And I think

I made you happy too.

You could have asked me

to leave 100 times,

and you didn't.

My mom was sick, unstable,

delusional,

Lindsey had to deal

I was winning

I was getting more press.

But every time my name

popped up on the news,

Lindsey would show up.

And whatever money I gave her,

whatever I did,

it was never enough.

And she got so angry.

She started making threats

about my kid, my wife.

Then one day three years ago,

we came home and found her

in the house with a g*n.

So I decided, you know,

it--it had to stop.

Everything had to stop.

[inhales deeply]

So I retired.

I wrote Lindsey a check

for 500 grand,

got an order of protection

- Jeez.

Mom. Oh.

- Oh.

- Are you OK?

- Hi.

- Oh!

- Oh, we missed you so much.

- Are you OK?

You look OK.

- [crying] You're really here.

[laughter and sobbing]

- I love you.

- Thanks. Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

No, it's OK.

Don't ever leave us

again, Mom.

- You must be starving.

- No, no, thank you.

So, um, is she,

you know, locked up?

Are they gonna charge her

with attempted... something?

I don't know.

No, nothing.

She's not in custody.

- Are you kidding?

They're--

they're looking for her.

- So she's just out there?

- OK.

So this looks different.

Oh, the cops took stuff.

Yeah.

As evidence.

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah.

Did you not know?

About Dad?

About all of it?

I just found out.

The police just told me.

- Oh, it was bad.

- Mom.

Like, beyond bad.

Yeah, it--

Thank God you're home.

Stan, I'm so sorry,

what you went through.

Who would believe that you

would do something like that?

Well...

they did.

Well, it did

look like m*rder.

Yeah.

Mom, we thought you were dead

and that Dad k*lled you.

- Oh, honey.

- No, no.

Sorry, but you--

you need to hear this.

We--

[sighs]

We went through hell, Mom.

We didn't sleep.

We fell apart.

We thought

we'd never see you again.

We turned on Dad.

We grieved for you.

You owe us all an explanation.

And an apology.

Because normal people do not do

that to people they love, OK?

They don't.

You're right. I shouldn't

have left like that.

But let me point out that

he got to leave all the time,

and no one thought

I k*lled him.

I think the circumstances

are a little different.

Jesus Christ, Joy.

That's why you left?

Because I left?

Yes.

And because I was lonely

and confused and scared.

And Savannah--Lindsey--

answered the phone,

which is more than you all did.

Mom.

It hurt.

It hurt every minute of every

day that you shut me out.

Maybe I needed a break

from that.

I mean, maybe

I made some mistakes,

but I didn't deserve

to be ignored.

OK, I think what you did...

[chuckling]

You know--

[sighs]

I wish I could tell you

that I was sorry for sending

Harry away, but I'm not.

I am sorry I lied about it.

If I could go back--

[sighs]

I hate that I hurt you

for so long.

I know.

So yes,

I left because you did.

And because I wasn't sure that

any of you would even miss me.

Oh, Joy.

God, Mom.

We were lost.

So was I.

[sighs]

[door clicks]

I, uh--

I couldn't find

my toothbrush.

[chuckling softly] Yeah.

Cops took it.

Ah.

And my comb?

Yeah.

Uh, Stan--

All that matters is,

you're home.

I know you saw

a divorce lawyer.

Is that what you want?

I--I, uh, don't know.

Nowhere.

What?

You wanted to know where

I went when I left,

and I never told you.

I didn't go anywhere.

I just--I drove.

I slept in the car.

Sometimes I just walked.

I--I've--I've always told you

that my dad d*ed

when I was a kid.

He didn't.

I came to this country

to get away from him,

from who he was.

He was a--a coward,

a violent coward

who never walked away from

anything that he should have.

And I've spent my whole life

afraid that the anger that was

in him is somehow in me too.

And--and I think--

I think maybe it is.

And that's why I walked away,

because...

I--I love you.

And--and I left so I did--

so I wouldn't lose you.
