1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Buckle up and hold on tight. We got a four

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: year is stra My hair's light. Okay, listen, subject can't

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: keep living a lie. Dear Stephen Shirley, I married my

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: husband by mistake. He is in law enforcement on a

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: special drug task force, but I'm starting to think that

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: he is involved on the wrong side of the law.

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: We have a nice, big, lavish house, and he just

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: bought me a very expensive car that's so nice I

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: can't even drive it to work. It just doesn't add up.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: After asking him millions of questions and getting half wit responses,

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: I threatened to leave him. I feel like I was

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 1: definitely tricked into this marriage. It happened so quickly. He

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: took me to dinner on New Year's Eve, proposed to me,

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: and told me the next day we'd be in Bermuda.

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: I flew to Bermuda with him and had a fairytale

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: wedding three days later. Stephen Shure, I got caught up.

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: Now the gifts and surprises keep coming and it's not

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: adding up. We dated for only six months before the wedding,

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: and I do love him, but feel like I don't

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: know everything I should know about him. He started getting

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: mean when I make comments about the gifts. When I

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: threatened to leave him, he said that would never happen. Oh,

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: how should I handle this? I can no longer live

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: a lie? Please help? What I'm scared? I'm scared for you.

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm scared for you. Yeah, I understand you could get

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, caught up in a world win of romance

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: and everything, but getting married in three days and you know,

28
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: this is definitely what happens when you move too fast

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and don't get to know a person before marriage. I

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: got to ask you. You said you guys were together

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: for six months. What were you guys doing and what

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: were you doing in those six months? Were you just

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: enjoying the gifts? Where? I mean? You said you asked

34
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: him a lot of questions, millions of questions, getting half

35
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: wit responses. Well, seems like some red flags should have

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: gone up then, I mean, really, you know, if you

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: really believe that he's on the wrong side of the law,

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: do you have any proof? I mean, do you have

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: any legit, concrete proof? And who are you gonna tell?

40
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. This sounds crazy to me.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Are you questioning the price of the gifts? Are you

42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: questioning the number of the gifts or the types of

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: the gifts that he gives you. You say, he starts

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: to get mean when you comment on the gifts. You

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: got to stop commenting on these gifts. I mean, I

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. I mean, if he

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: is on the wrong side of the law, you're in trouble.

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: This marriage is in trouble if he's on the wrong side,

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: because seriously, who are you going to tell you can't

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: go to the law if he's on the wrong side

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: of the law and they're working together. But I mean,

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: I know just from watching movies that sometime times when

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: these guys are on these special task forces, you know,

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: they have to look the part, act the part and

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: all of that. So it could be that, you know,

56
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: you just moved too fast. Um, And that's all I

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: can tell you, because if it's true what you think,

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea how you can get out of this.

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I really don't. Because you told him that you were

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: threatening to leave him, and he said that would never happen.

61
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Dunt dune done. You know this is serious, Steve Hell,

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm scared too. I don't even know what. I don't

63
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: want to answer this matter because he can find me

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: because you're famous. He knows who I am. I really

65
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: don't want to even get involved with it. I don't

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: even know what you're even talking about, what you're tripping for,

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: because he all he is is man who look run right.

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: You need this country. You got a passport witness protection

69
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: because you just got involved with a man that he

70
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: are you and you know he is a law enforcement

71
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: on a special drug task force. But I'm starting to

72
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: think he's involved on the wrong side of the law.

73
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: Why because y'all got a big ass house, even bought

74
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: your expensive car. You can't even try to work. Quit

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: your job, try the car. Quit You ain't got no job.

76
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm driving the car. I'm going to be a housewife.

77
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what the hell going on. Now,

78
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: let's just get into the meat of You said you

79
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: married him by mistake? Really? Yeah, how you married by mistake?

80
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: You mistakenly got on the planet. You went to Bermute

81
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: to bay mistake. You had a fantasy, fantasy winning Bayma stake.

82
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: You said, I do Bayma Stake. Now you didn't ma him,

83
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: you didn't know who you was mad, and you didn't

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: matter him. Now I think it's early enough for you

85
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: might you can get this a numm. You can probably

86
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: get this a nu. Did you excuse me, Stephen? Did

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: you not hear read the line where it says when

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: I threatened to leave him, he said that that would

89
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: never happen. That's different, he got different. You can get

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: this done without him. No, No, I'm listen. You're gonna

91
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: have to this. You have an option. He scared of

92
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: his ass. You ain't never heard of witness protection program.

93
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,880

00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: white woman, three white kids and a white husband. You're

96
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: just going about your lying. You got to do this

97
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: hitting no moment. I don't know what to tell him,

98
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: but I'm scared. I threatened to leave him. He said

99
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: that it never happened. Now, let's talk about this right here.

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: What could really have happened? Ye, when you're in drug enforcement,

101
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: three things could be happened. You could be taking payoffs,

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: drug boys stay alive because you let him exist. You

103
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: could be going into building and you could be taking

104
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: a cut, or you drug busting people and you ain't

105
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: turning in all the money Okay, ain't all the way

106
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: round this now, you didn't got this cordage, big house.

107
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: You're in drug enforcement, then you can't got yourself in

108
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: a little situation. What you gotta do is create a

109
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: paper trail that says you don't know what the hell

110
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: going on? All right, so when we come back, it's

111
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a rein that. Now, this one is gonna

112
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: be easy because surely you're going to ask me, yeah,

113
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: the drug enforcement dude, a series of questions that a

114
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: wife would have to ask the man that's the drug

115
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: enforcement agency. Sure you don't want Sha to be the

116
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: wife because he plays a great wife. Jay will be

117
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: the wife there. Okay, yeah, well let's response and a

118
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: reenactment with Jay playing the wife. She can't keep living

119
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: the lyne. Me and Shirley can't keep opening ourselves to

120
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: exposure just because we can't get involved in this hell.

121
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: You're married to a man that's in the drug enforcement agency.

122
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Y'all got a big house and even bought you an

123
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: expensive car. You can't even try to work? Then what

124
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: the hell we posted to do? You didn't told him? Man?

125
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: You think of the stake you set up being Time

126
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: to figure out how y'all live in this large or

127
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: his paycheck. You didn't told him you think about leaving.

128
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: He told you it had never happened. I believe him too.

129
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. The best thing

130
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: you can do is get it to know. But you

131
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: got to start. You got to start making your suspicions known.

132
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: You can't report it to the police because the police

133
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: usually be in on stuff like this. Exactly. No, hell,

134
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: no tell who she gonna tell. You can't go to

135
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: the police department. It's never just one corrupt police officer.

136
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: He's got to be working in tandem, because if you're

137
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: on the drug enforcement you gotta be down there with

138
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: more than one person. You ain't walking in the houses

139
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: by yourself, right, You see enough of these moves, I know,

140
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna hear where they gotta spit the money off. Exactly.

141
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: So here's your problem is, That's right, here's your problem is.

142
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: You now have to find a way to tell him

143
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: that you leave. And and and let's see how you would

144
