00:04 Troy Parker's being released today.
00:06 Five years, right?
00:08 'Cause you wouldn't test a bomb.
00:10 It was the right thing to do.
00:12 He killed Mom.
00:14 Being a pastor don't make you the expert on what's right.
00:16 You planning on staying long?
00:18 You're always this welcoming.
00:20 I know who you are.
00:22 I heard you got out.
00:24 Yesterday.
00:26 I came back.
00:28 You know, I figured I'd come back and help out.
00:30 I'm not looking to get into any trouble.
00:32 If you're looking for work,
00:34 I guess I could use your help around here.
00:36 You offering me a job?
00:38 It looks that way.
00:40 What happened?
00:42 I was driving by, saw the truck on fire.
00:44 Local fire put it out.
00:46 That's when they found me.
00:48 Do we know who it is?
00:50 Corners on their way.
00:52 Find out, see where it takes us.
00:54 They're a problem here.
00:56 He did his time.
00:58 Not enough.
01:00 Was it hard forgiving me?
01:02 Yes.
01:04 So why'd you do it?
01:06 When we don't forgive, we're the ones who suffer the most.
01:08 I've suffered enough.
01:10 Some things take work.
01:12 Got your autopsy report.
01:14 It wasn't a drifter.
01:16 Why don't you take a look?
01:18 This is premeditated murder.
01:20 30 years to life.
01:22 Y'all got any suspects?
01:24 A few suspicions.
01:26 Small town, people talk.
01:28 Do you think he did it?
01:30 He is a murderer.
01:32 He is nothing but a murderer.
01:34 How do you expect someone like that to change?
01:36 Because sometimes even a murderer
01:38 needs a little grace.
01:40 All the failures and mistakes,
01:42 those are the past.
01:44 Who you've been
01:50 does not have to be who you are.
01:52 You're who you are.
