WEBVTT - Family Secrets: Season 5 Trailer

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I knew as a boy that my father had fought

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>in World War Two, just as so many fathers of

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>so many of my playmate friends had fought in World

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>War Two. And I knew all along that he had

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>been on the other side, and very quickly knew that

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>you've been on the wrong side. Every family has its secrets.

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>They had a compact that they were not going to

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>confront the truth of their situation, and then I came

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>along and threw it down on the floor like a gauntlet.

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Secrets that are kept for all kinds of reasons, because

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>there are sources of shame, because we don't want to

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 1>cause others pain, because of unspoken agreements that it's just

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>better this way. That drive back home was when I

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>had to make a choice. If I called my parents

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>and tell them what happened, I would have to say

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>goodbye to my grand school, to my life as a

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>working woman in Mexico, to all of these things. I

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>would have to say goodbye. But the ripple effects of

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>holding onto those secrets can last for years, sometimes generations

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>to come. My family didn't deny that it happened. They

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>just denied that it should hurt that it happened. They

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just denied that it should have any effect, or it

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>was very much. If this bothers you, that is your problem,

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 1>your fault. When the truth finally does come out, even

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>if we're older, wiser, even if we think we've moved on,

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>it can send us reeling. Both my mother and my

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>aunt were there that day, and I had said, I

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>had just saw Tony Costa in the dream with a

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>gun to my head. What do you know about him?

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Why would I be thinking about that? And she said,

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I know he became a serial killer, as if I

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>know he became a pediatrician. I'm Danny Shapiro, host of
