- Previously on "Apples Never Fall"...
Joy Delaney: she's been missing for nine days.
$50,000 to anyone who gives us information
that helps us find my mom.
Is it some big, dark secret why Harry fired you?
I could have made him the best player in the world.
Then this kid got in the way.
What are you doing, Troy?
Stan!
If you hadn't lost your shit over the fact that
Harry was a better player than you.
- Troy, stop - Stop, stop!
- Troy! - Oh, my God.
Stop it! I did it, OK?
I made Harry leave you!
I think my dad killed my mom.
Stan Delaney does not forgive.
He files things away, and he stews.
Dad took out one of my rental boats
the night that Mom went missing.
This can't be what it looks like.
No fucking way. You're on your own.
I just got an email from Logan Delaney.
We fucking got him.
Those cops came to my house today.
And I told them everything.
Come back, Troy.
Dad?
Dad, can you hear me?
Dad?
Hi.
What the--
- Dad. - What the hell happened?
Did you find her?
Mr. Delaney, welcome back.
I'm sure you're feeling disoriented right now.
Yeah. My--my heart, it--
Actually, your heart seems pretty good.
Your EKG and bloodwork all came back normal.
But the pain, the--
I couldn't breathe.
We're thinking you had an extreme anxiety attack.
That's ridiculous. It was a goddamn heart attack.
You were incredibly agitated. That's why they sedated you.
We'll run a few more tests now that you're awake.
You have been under a lot of stress.
Thank you, Dr. Adams.
That's bullshit.
Mr. Delaney, we have a few questions.
Are you seriously going to provoke a man
that you helped put in the hospital?
Who is this guy?
Oh, you remember Tyler Cruz?
He took lessons at the academy.
Hey, Coach.
He's a defense lawyer now.
I hired him to represent you.
Mr. Delaney, does this man represent you?
We need to hear it from you, if that's the case.
Uh, Coach D.
Uh, you may not remember me, but I--
I definitely remember you.
You really helped me out once.
I'd love to help you back.
Dad.
Please.
It's--it's Tyler, right?
- Yes, sir. - Tyler.
Tyler represents me.
Yes, sir.
And as your lawyer,
I'm going to advise that you not speak to these detectives.
I'm going to insist that they leave you alone
while you recover.
Judge signed off on a search warrant a couple of hours ago.
Our guys are going through your property right now.
And I want you to know it...
won't be all friendly like last time.
OK, from now on, you don't speak to them.
All right? Not to anyone.
Not without me.
Yeah.
Um, they think his heart's fine.
They'll probably give him a lecture on stress management.
The detectives were here.
Tyler's with him now.
Is that all?
I had to get him a lawyer, OK?
Because you sent that video to the cops.
No matter what happened,
Dad still has the right to a defense.
Yeah, whatever you say, Brooke.
He used one of my boats.
Dude, how did we get here?
Stan, you hit my son!
I had to do something!
Oh, my God.
It's unbelievable.
It's fucking unbelievable, all of it.
You know, you didn't just do this to Dad.
You did it to all of us.
That was his career, Mom. His dream.
Oh, Mom.
I think I should just--
I--I'll let the three of you,
you know.
Uh, Troy, let me--
No, don't, don't, don't. Just--
- Son, I-- - No.
No.
It's my whole life.
I thought you were the one I could trust.
What have you done?
Dude, it's 19 years.
It's 19 years of Dad blaming me and hating me
because Mom wouldn't tell the truth?
I'm sure it wasn't easy.
For her or for me?
Well, I still can't believe it.
Which part? That she lied, or lied for that long?
Both. I feel like--
part of me feels like I don't even know her anymore.
That seems a little unfair.
People would call us
when Harry won grand slams, remember?
Like Dad should be proud of it, or something.
Dude, he wouldn't even look me in the eye on those days.
Like, there's a thousand ways
that Mom could have handled what Dad did to me,
and she picked the absolute worst one.
And she doesn't even seem sorry.
No!
The four of us were always jealous
of the attention Dad gave Harry.
Maybe Mom was jealous too.
She was the grown-up.
She wasn't supposed to be so selfish.
- I know you all hate me right now.
No one hates you, Mom.
You're the only one who's returned my calls.
You know that.
Well, that night was pretty crazy.
You dropped an emotional H-bomb on all of us.
Everyone needs some time.
It's been two weeks.
Well, according to some seminars I've taken
on trauma processing-- - Oh, Amy, it's not trauma.
I mean, what your dad did to Troy,
that might qualify, not what I did.
How are things at home?
I don't know.
Quiet, especially without Savannah.
I thought maybe she would have checked in by now,
explained herself.
Well, actually, I was asking how things are with Dad.
Have you thought at all about apologizing?
I haven't, no.
I just think it could go a long way
with everyone if you said, "I'm sorry."
Amy.
You do not understand. OK.
I was in an impossible situation.
I did what I did to save the family.
- Oh, Christ. - Oh, no.
What a disaster.
Remember what the doctor told you.
Breathe.
Ugh.
Can't say they didn't warn us.
I'm not going to leave you alone.
I just--I have to run home and grab a few things.
But I'll be back later to help with all this.
Brooke...
where are they? Where's--where's Amy?
Where's--where's Logan? What's going on?
Troy finally convinced them I'm a killer?
Uh, what's really important right now
is that you just take care of yourself.
Make sure you read this.
Just because it wasn't a heart attack,
it doesn't mean you're fine.
Just try and sleep.
No 2:00 a.m. Tennis Channel infomercials, all right?
Yeah?
Thanks for everything, hon.
We're going to find Mom.
I know you didn't do anything wrong.
I'm going to make sure everyone knows it.
OK.
I feel like I--
I feel like I could kill him.
Yeah, I get the impulse.
But uh...
apparently, violence is not the answer.
So what do we do now?
I think we did everything we can do.
Unless you know how to travel back in time
and pick up the phone when Mom called that day
and maybe none of this happens.
Troy, uh...
you were right all along.
Yeah, OK. All right.
So I think you've probably had enough.
No, I'm serious. I'm serious.
- OK, OK, all right.
I'm--I'm not sure I--
I really did like tennis.
At least, not like you did, not back then.
And you know, I have always been such a lapdog,
and I--
I don't even know why.
If you had have helped me buy the academy,
maybe I would have become
a second-rate version of that asshole.
Yeah. Yeah, maybe.
Maybe not. I don't know.
It's Mom's academy too.
I mean, she built that place, so.
Yeah, she was a force.
Here you go.
I, um--um, thanks for this.
Also, I wanted you to know
that I dipped into the wedding fund.
My dad needed a lawyer.
I'm sorry that things have gotten so crazy.
For you and your family.
I guess I'm glad you found a good way to use that money.
I--
This is the shot you want to take?
- That's exactly it. - You want to take this shot?
Obviously, I want to take this shot.
This is the one you've chosen?
- Well... - Good judgment.
Watch and learn.
Pay up.
Do you really not understand
how bad you are at this game, or--
Dude, I know exactly how bad I am, OK?
Nice to see you two getting along.
What is he doing here?
I--
Did you set this up?
Oh, that's great.
That's great. That's nice. Just a--just a nice ambush.
Don't get angry with-- with Logan.
He's just trying to help.
I just thought that maybe
we could talk about what happened.
And uh, you know, put it behind us.
Put it behind us?
You know, maybe just hear him out, Troy.
What are you, Switzerland?
You have every right to be angry.
It was a lousy fight.
But I just thought that,
yeah, before too much time passed, we--
Dad, if you think that I'm angry with you
because of some shitty fight
in which you told me what you really think about me,
you're wrong, OK?
It--it was the 20 years leading up to it.
So you know,
pardon me if I've got a little bit of an emotional callous
when it comes to you.
Just self-preservation and all.
- Come on, man. Just-- - Troy. Troy, stop.
Let me--let me buy you a beer.
You want to buy me a beer?
OK.
Uh, you know what would be amazing?
What would--what would really just mean something
would be an apology, OK?
No, you know what? I don't want an apology.
I want an admission.
I want an admission from you of your failure as a parent.
That's what I want.
Yeah.
OK.
Uh...
good talk.
Tell Mom to stop calling me.
Troy, stop. Stop.
Hey, Brooke. Where are you?
So I got a call from Tyler.
There's something he wants me to look into.
It might be able to help, but I need to do it right now.
You OK on your own tonight?
I can come over tomorrow.
Yeah, sure. OK, thanks.
- Bye, Dad. - See you tomorrow.
It's Logan. Leave a message.
Hey, Loges.
You weren't at the hospital. You're not here now.
I--I don't--
Call me, please.
Did you move it? You move stuff.
Moving stuff's your whole thing.
In a duffel bag?
You think that means he, like--
oh, my God.
I really don't think--
Maybe that's why there was blood
on the outside of her sweatshirt,
from when he was, like--
- Found it.
I really can't imagine anything this terrible.
Yeah. Well, you don't have to.
It's happening right in front of you.
I know. I'm sorry.
I just, um--
I guess I just want to say I'm here.
For anything you need.
Anything that makes this less awful.
I--I don't mean to interrupt.
One of your roommates let me in.
What's up?
So Tyler said that the cops' case is pretty shaky,
and that it'll be even better for Dad
if there is another good suspect or something.
So I told him about all the tips you collected.
Maybe there's something in there.
Simon organized them for me.
But there isn't anything in there.
I've read them all.
It's just a bunch of people who want attention,
some of whom are very mean.
Sometimes people want attention
because they know something.
Brooke.
Dad did it.
I'll make you some yerba mate.
That bag, it's full of trophies.
Joy hated them, so I-- I threw them in the ocean
so that neither of us would ever have to see them again.
I know how that sounds, but it's the truth.
So can we stop focusing on me
and figure out what actually happened to my wife?
Well, we collected several trophies
from your home yesterday.
Yeah, I--I meant the trophies from when
I was coaching Harry Haddad.
Harry Haddad.
He's a sensitive subject in your house, right?
You told us in our first interview
that Joy had left after a fight you two had,
that it was about you not...
helping around the house enough.
Can you expand on that?
It's hard to summarize.
No one's asking you to be concise.
Did Harry come up?
A lot of things came up.
We got a little bent out of shape.
Uh, we said some things we shouldn't have.
She accidentally scratched me.
So not the agave?
I took a long walk to-- to cool down.
And, uh, when I got back, she had gone.
I did not hurt my wife.
You know, I made a few international calls.
Found out about your dad.
Doesn't sound like he was a, uh, particularly kind man.
Violent.
You or her?
Both. Uh, but mostly her.
No child should have to grow up around that.
But sometimes when that's all that someone knows--
No. I learned from that.
I am not like him. I am not a violent man.
What about when you hit your son?
The two boys were fighting.
Troy was--I--I-- I got caught up in the moment.
I'm not proud of it.
But that was one time, and the only time.
I'm not perfect.
In fact, it's becoming clear lately
that I am no fucking picnic.
But I tried.
I tried so hard to be a good husband,
to be a good father, and to be a good coach.
And my--my--my students, they loved me.
But your children were your students too.
And they think you're a murderer.
Let's go back to that fight.
When she disappeared,
why did you lie to everyone about where she was?
I came home, and she was gone.
It was my--
I lied because I was ashamed.
Yeah.
But shame is not guilt.
And in that time, you assumed that Joy had left
without a single word to her children?
Joy made a lot of choices that I--
it turns out there was a lot of things she didn't tell me.
Why did you detail your car?
It was a mess.
I did it for Joy.
Why was her jacket buried in the neighbor's yard?
I don't know. That's your job.
When we look at evidence, we see moments in a story.
And the story that a jury is going to hear
is one of a rage-filled man made impotent by retirement
who finally snaps.
He finally does what he's tried to stop himself from doing
for years.
He finally gives in to his impulses.
And that story-- that story will make
sense to people, to everyone.
Plead guilty.
Show remorse.
Maybe you'll even get out on parole in your lifetime.
From now on, you can talk to my lawyer.
- I wouldn't be asking
if we weren't in crisis mode right now.
OK. How long till the other investors
arrive at the office? - 20 minutes.
OK. Um, I can be there in 18.
But just have Elliot brief me on everything
while I drive over.
Because otherwise, I'm going to--
uh--
Just--just a second, Monty.
- Yeah, yeah. - Mom--
I didn't know what else to do.
- It's terrible timing. - You don't answer your phone.
Because I'm on the phone right now.
Yes, well, you need to hear my side of things.
- I don't need to hear-- - It's only fair.
Troy, is everything OK?
Was that your mom?
- Everything's fine, all right? - Hey, Mrs. Delaney.
I'm going to call you from the car in just a minute.
Thank you. - Look.
I never expected your dad to blame you for Harry leaving.
Honestly, it never crossed my mind.
And then he did and I hated it.
It tore me up every single day.
So why didn't you say something?
Well, you were so unaffected.
I mean, you were so strong.
You were bigger than it.
You were bigger than all of us, really.
I mean, look at this place.
I knew that you'd be fine, and you were.
Mom,
I have not enjoyed the last month either.
But right now, I got to go.
Mm.
Yeah, that is what we call a fault.
As in, if I can't figure out how to serve
before the wedding, it's your fault?
Yeah.
Now, if you can knock over one of those cans
at the corners before you go--
You get 20 bucks, right?
I was going to say five.
It was five when we were kids.
Inflation, Dad.
Actually, it was only $1 for Amy and Troy,
if I remember correctly.
So uh, you need a fourth?
Sorry, Mom. We were just leaving.
OK. Um...
thanks, boss.
Why don't they ever punish you like this?
- When you saw my mother, what was she doing?
Uh, OK.
Uh, well, I don't think it was her, then.
But thanks for your time.
QAnon or UFOs?
Uh, whichever one believes in
interdimensional shapeshifters.
- Mm, mm.
He's good.
You should keep him.
You have such oldest child energy.
People never believe me
when I tell them you're the baby of the family.
When I was born, Dad had just torn his ACL.
He had to drop out of the circuit.
He was kind of--
He was kind of lost.
- Yeah, I know. - No, you really don't.
Because by the time you came around,
he was already Coach Stan Delaney.
So you really believe he's actually capable of--
I can't go there, Amy. I'm sorry, but I can't.
So these are the winners?
Uh, well, the bar is low, I'll admit.
But this one's got to mean something, right?
"Mrs. D got what's coming to her.
$50k and I'll tell you everything."
Told you they were mean.
No, the only people who call Mom Mrs. D
are people from the academy.
So at the very least, it's someone who knew her.
Or someone who saw a Facebook post
from a former student who's worried about Mrs. D.
But they're not worried.
I really think they might know something.
Well, there's a phone number on the signature.
You should call them. - I already did.
But they didn't pick up the phone.
So I was thinking maybe I'd--
I'd drive out there and ask in person.
Out there?
- The Keys.
Hey.
Thanks for meeting me here.
I just thought, uh, you know,
why not one of our favorite places from--
from back in the day?
Are you OK?
Is there news about your mom?
Oh, no.
No, nothing. - Right.
Yeah.
No, I wanted to, uh--
Yeah.
Just--yeah, here you go.
So.
Yeah.
Everything's signed.
Uh, yeah, and notarized.
The embryos are all yours.
No catch?
No.
Nope, not other than my genetics.
- So.
I'll still take them.
Yeah, I got to warn you, half of my DNA is from a--
a monster.
The other half, though, is, you know.
I don't understand.
With everything going on with your mom,
all these months you've been stonewalling me, why now?
Why are you doing this?
I just want her to be proud of me.
Yeah.
I'm sorry I got so scared
and ruined everything with you and me.
I was--sorry.
I know.
You know, the crazy thing is she just expected me
to do the right thing, eventually.
Like it was on my to-do list, and I was going to get to it,
you know?
I know you don't believe me, but...
she really did think the world of you.
I, uh, still talked to her,
you know, every couple of months or so.
What did you talk about?
Podcasts, restaurants.
You.
I mean, hey, she didn't think you were perfect.
But uh, she loved you.
And she felt so horrible that she lied to you, Troy.
She told you?
I was mad at her.
I was hard on her.
And now she's, uh--
Wherever she is, I know she's proud of you.
Yeah, Tyler, I remember what you told me.
But I just told the truth.
How can that hurt me?
Everyone but Brooke has turned on me.
Everyone.
I--I just thought if I explained--
Stan, this--this isn't a game that you can win.
You're not the coach anymore.
These detectives will take everything that you say,
anything that they can find,
and they will use it against you.
I know I made mistakes with-- with Troy, and with Amy.
But with Logan, I thought I did better.
I--I--if--
if my son, my own son, sent that video to the cops--
Are the cops even looking at Savannah, or is it just at me?
I didn't know that you were still doing that.
Yeah. Club members still break strings,
and I am still the cheapest guy in town.
Buy me a drink--
Buy me a drink and we'll call it even.
Could you just stop for a moment?
I can talk and string at the same time.
Stan, please.
It's exhausting, you know?
Getting iced out by your husband and your kids.
Amy suggested I apologize.
Oh, good.
But I'm not going to.
Because I don't want you to forgive me.
I want you to understand me.
I think I made it sound like it was because you hit Troy.
And it was, but...
that was just the last straw in a haystack.
Oh, really?
I built a haystack of sins against you?
You left.
So many times when I needed you,
you left.
And I'm not talking about being with Harry at tournaments.
When I was pregnant,
when the kids were sick, when there was a crisis.
And good days, OK? You missed good days, too.
When--when Brooke lost her first tooth.
And when--I don't--
Troy passed his driver's test,
days that you should have been there for.
But when the going got tough,
when someone made him angry,
Stan Delaney left.
Maybe you thought I'd get used to it.
I never did.
Just years of pain and confusion,
me and the kids, terrified, wondering if you'd come back.
Maybe if you told me why you left
or where you went,
we could maybe really actually get better.
You want to talk about leaving?
You're the one that stepped out on our marriage, not me.
And if that wasn't enough,
you lied to all of us for years.
I will never understand that.
And my guess is neither will Troy.
You cost us everything.
So you're happy to let the kids just turn against me?
My God, that's cruel.
Logan.
Thank you.
Not--not for that.
The--
I just, uh--
thank you for being here.
It's been, uh, you know, impossible.
I told my committee
my research can be on pause for a few days.
Until then, I'm right here.
I chose wrong.
You know, when you left, I should have--
I--I've--
I've, um, been thinking about how I'm the lapdog.
You know, Amy has all of her baggage.
Uh, Troy was difficult for my parents
in a different way, but--
Easy to imagine.
I think I became--
I don't know.
I--I became the easy one, you know?
When shit hit the fan with everyone else,
I was the one that made it OK.
I always--
Put your family's needs ahead of your own.
Yeah. And look how much that helped us.
Um--
So I heard they have marinas in Seattle.
Is that true?
Yes, they have them.
Stop.
They have lots of marinas in Seattle.
- Shut up! Get down.
Shut up.
Hello. I'm Brooke. This is my sister, Amy.
Yeah, I know you.
Yes, I made a video about my mom, Joy Delaney.
You emailed me a tip about her.
Do you know something about what happened?
Oh, sure.
I know stuff.
And I'll tell you once
you hand over that 50 grand you promised.
It's not really how it works.
But if what you tell helps us figure out what happened,
then you get every cent.
I promise.
So you're saying you don't got no money, then?
Well, my brother does.
But--but I hope you understand,
we can't pay you before we know what you're going to say.
You want to hear about what a bitch your mom was,
it'll cost you.
I'm not listening to this.
Wait. So--so you do know my mom?
Is that why you call her Mrs. D?
Oh, God.
You two don't get it, do you?
Holy shit.
You got no idea.
What? Sorry, what don't I get?
Tell me.
Oh.
Why do you hate my mom?
No money, no answers.
Hi, this is Brooke. Please leave a message.
Hey, Brooke. I got the house cleaned up.
And uh,
I ordered way too much pizza,
if you want to swing by and help me eat it.
Oh, here it is now. That was fast.
So come and get it while it's hot.
Stan Delaney,
you are under arrest for the murder
of your wife, Joy Delaney.
So your dad is in jail,
and he's being charged with first-degree murder.
OK. Like, um, I don't understand.
What's, uh, what's changed since the video I sent you?
You're aware that your father was recording podcasts?
- Uh, yeah. - Yeah.
On April 9, he accidentally kept his recorder going.
It captured a fight between him and your mom.
Right before she disappeared.
Oh, shit.
The recording was enough for the district attorney
to sign off on murder charges against your father.
It--it's, uh, pretty definitive.
OK.
Um, I want to hear it.
- It's very upsetting. - Yeah, I know.
I don't--I don't care.
I'm just--I'm so sick of not understanding what happened.
Please help me understand why my mom is gone.
I can take you to a separate room.
No, we'll listen together.
OK.
I was right, you know.
You never were good enough for Harry.
The minute he left you, he became a star.
You weren't a good enough coach or player!
If it wasn't for me, you'd be another washed-up tennis hack.
Oh, yeah. Walk out.
Walk out like the fucking coward you are.
- Move, now! - Or what?
Or what?
Stan, stop it!
Stop! Don't!
Don't! Stop!
Don't!
Stop!
Brooke! Brooke!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brooke, come on. Hey.
It's real. It's real.
- Yeah. - It's actually real.
- I know. - He did it.
Oh, my God.
- OK.
OK.
What are we doing here?
What else are we supposed to do?
We still need to eat.
Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah, same.
Brookie?
Yeah.
Who is it?
This is a call from a person
currently in the Palm Beach County Main Detention Center.
- Oh, my God. - Brooke.
All calls are logged and recorded
and may be listened to by a member of prison staff.
It's Dad. From jail.
To accept this call from...
- Stan Delaney. - Please press one.
- Brooke, hang up the phone. - To decline, hang up now.
The person you are calling has declined to accept your call.
