"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.

Doesn't matter.
I'm not her either.
You made me look

And for some reason,
I decided to trust you.
It was all a lie.
Well, it started as a lie.
But then you were so kind,
and I just started to...
love you and your whole world.
I mean, you made me feel like
I was worth something,
and it had been a long time.
I meant what I said
in that card.
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.
Because I gave you something

Goodbye, Joy.
Wait.

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.

I wrote Lindsey a check

got an order of protection
