00:02What are you looking at?
00:04Oh, it's just Julia.
00:07She wants to meet for dinner tomorrow night at Romano's downtown.
00:10You know, that Italian place we used to go to?
00:13Ugh, I haven't seen her in over a month, Ryan.
00:17It'll be so nice to, you know, get dressed up and have a real girl's night out.
00:21We can catch up on everything. Maybe get some wine.
00:25Why do you need to see Julia when you have me at home?
00:27What do you mean, she's my best friend?
00:30A good wife should prioritize spending time with her husband over friends.
00:34That's what marriage means, Rachel. Commitment, loyalty.
00:38But Ryan, I haven't done anything social in weeks.
00:41I mean, I stay home every day while you're at work.
00:45I clean, I cook, I do everything you ask.
00:48You're always looking for excuses to leave the house and abandon your responsibilities as my wife.
00:54Don't you appreciate the time we spend together?
00:57We watch movies, we eat dinner together, we talk.
01:01Am I not enough for you? Am I not providing enough entertainment?
01:05Of course you are, but Ryan, it's healthy to have friendships.
01:09I mean, even married couples need-
01:11Julia is a bad influence on you.
01:13She fills your head with ideas about independence and self-worth and all that feminist nonsense.
01:20That's not true. I mean, she's been my friend since college.
01:24She was my maid of honor at our wedding, for God's sake.
01:27She's jealous of our marriage, Rachel. Can't you see that?
01:31She's single, she's bitter, and she deliberately tries to create problems between us.
01:37Julia's not bitter. She's happy with Vlad, but they've been together for two years now.
01:42That cop boyfriend of hers? Please. He's probably just using her.
01:48I barely see anyone anymore, Ryan. My sister, my parents, my old teaching colleagues.
01:55Please, just one evening out with my closest friend.
01:58You can choose between me and Julia, but you can't have us both.
02:03This is a test of your love and loyalty to me, Rachel.
02:07A real wife would choose her husband every time.
02:12That's not fair. Why do I have to choose?
02:15Because I'm telling you to choose.
02:16Because I'm your husband, and you promised to honor and obey me when we got married.
02:22Okay, I'll cancel the plans.
02:27Hey, Julia.
02:29Uh, listen, I'm really sorry, but um, I can't make it tomorrow night.
02:34No, uh, nothing's wrong. I just, um, Ryan and I have plans.
02:42No, Julia, really, it's fine.
02:45Okay, I, I have to go. Bye.
02:49Good. That's what a good wife does. She puts her marriage first.
03:08You're serving yourself too much food again.
03:10This is the same amount I always have.
03:13No, it's not. You've been gaining weight, Rachel.
03:17I can see it in your face, in your clothes.
03:20You need to be more careful about your portions.
03:24I haven't gained weight.
03:25I weighed the same I did when we got married.
03:28Are you calling me a liar?
03:29No, I just, I don't think I'm eating too much.
03:32I'm only looking out for your health and appearance because I care about how you present yourself as my wife.
03:39Remove half your portion from your plate.
03:41You don't need that much substance since you'll be at home all day rather than working and being productive like
03:48I am.
03:49Ryan, I did the laundry yesterday. I vacuumed the entire house. I scrubbed the bathroom. That is work too.
03:58That's what wives do. That's not a job.
04:02I want pot roast for dinner tonight with mashed potatoes and green beans.
04:07Have it prepared and waiting when I return at, from work at like 6.30.
04:12Okay.
04:14And make sure you season it properly this time.
04:18Last week's roast was bland.
04:21So stay home and focus on cleaning the house today.
04:23Don't waste time on flivorous activities like watching television or reading from those romance novels.
04:31I finished reading weeks ago.
04:32Good. Reading fills your head with unrealistic expectations.
04:47Julia?
04:48Hey, um, can you come over as soon as possible?
04:54I, I really need to talk to someone.
04:56Last night he made me choose between him and you.
05:00He said I couldn't have both.
05:02And this morning he controlled how much I could eat at breakfast.
05:06He made me put half my food back because he said I was getting fat.
05:11Rachel, honey, slow down.
05:13Tell me everything that's been happening.
05:16It's gotten so much worse over the past year, Julia.
05:19He controls everything now.
05:22What I eat, what I wear, who I talk to, what I do every single day.
05:27He monitors my phone calls.
05:29If I talk to anyone for more than a few minutes, he gets suspicious and demands to know what we
05:35discussed.
05:36What about money?
05:37Do you have access to your own accounts?
05:41He took my name off our joint checking account last year.
05:44He says he gives me everything I need so I don't need direct access to money.
05:48Rachel, this is financial abuse.
05:51Yeah.
05:52He criticizes my appearance constantly, my hair, my clothes, my weight.
05:57He says he's trying to help me be the best wife I can be, but I barely see anyone anymore.
06:04When I taught at the elementary school, I had colleagues, friends, a whole life.
06:10Now I have nothing except him.
06:15Why did you stop teaching? You love that job.
06:18He said it was taking too much time away from our marriage.
06:23He convinced me that good wives focus on their homes and husbands, not their careers.
06:29Tell me about yesterday. What exactly did he say when you made you choose?
06:34He said you're a bad influence who fills my head with ideas about independence and self-worth.
06:41I mean, he said you're jealous of our marriage and deliberately try to create problems.
06:47Rachel, what you're describing is domestic abuse. Even though Ryan hasn't physically harmed you yet, emotional manipulation, control, and isolation
06:56are recognized forms of domestic violence.
06:59But he's never hit me. I mean, he's never even threatened to hit me.
07:04Abuse doesn't always have to be physical to be devastating.
07:08What you're experiencing has serious psychological impacts.
07:11I want to leave, Julia. I think about it every single day. But now I have no job, I have
07:19no money, and nowhere to go.
07:22And I'm terrified of how he'll react if I try to escape.
07:26There are legal protections and assistance programs available for women in your situation. Restraining orders, temporary housing, job placement services.
07:35You don't have to face this alone, Rachel. Help is available, and you deserve so much better than this.
07:41But what if he's right? What if I am a bad wife? What if I'm selfish for, you know, wanting
07:49more than this?
07:50Rachel, listen to me. Wanting friends, wanting to eat food, wanting to make your own decisions, these are not selfish
07:57desires. These are basic human rights.
08:00I'm going to research specific resources and support services. I'll come back tomorrow with a concrete plan to help you
08:06get out of here safely.
08:09Oh my god, he's home early. He's never home this early.
08:12It's okay. I'm here.
08:13No, no, you don't understand. He told me to stay home and clean, and he'll be furious that you're here.
08:19What the hell are you doing in my house?
08:21Julia was just leaving.
08:22I specifically told you to focus on household duties today, not socialize with your friends behind my back.
08:29Friends have the right to visit each other, Ryan. Your anger about this is completely inappropriate and concerning.
08:36She's not welcome in my home. This is my house, and I decide who comes and goes.
08:41Actually, this is Rachel's home too. She has every right to have guests. Your behavior towards Rachel constitutes emotional abuse,
08:49and I won't stand by while you mistreat my friend.
08:53How dare you come into my house and make accusations about my marriage. You know nothing about our relationship.
09:01I know that healthy relationships don't involve controlling who your partner can see or what they can eat.
09:06Get out of my house. Right now, before I make you leave.
09:11Rachel, you deserve better treatment than this. You should seriously consider leaving this toxic relationship.
09:18Call me if you need anything. Anything at all.
09:26I'm so disappointed in you right now. You deliberately betrayed my trust by having an unauthorized visitor in our home.
09:35I'm sorry, Ryan. I was just lonely, and she called and-
09:40Lonely? You have me. I'm your husband. I should be enough.
09:44You are enough, and I didn't mean-
09:46You promised to have dinner ready, and the house cleaned. Instead, you gossiped with your- your interfering- that
09:53interfering woman.
09:55I'll have dinner ready on time, okay? I promise. The pot roast is- it's already in the oven.
09:59It better be perfect. After the stunt you pulled today, I expect perfection.
10:04Have a decent工 day.
10:11Out of my trial.
10:11I'm ready.
10:11I'll try it in to learn more and do not.
10:14I'll try it in the kitchen.
10:16And I keep going.
10:19You will be right away.
10:20I'll try it in.
10:22I'll try it although.
10:25You don't do it.
10:25I won't do it too, but I'll try it.
10:26You can do it right now.
10:30You can leave it.
10:31You can wash it in.
10:36This is dry and flavorless.
10:38I followed the recipe exactly.
10:40I used the seasoning blend you like and-
10:43No, the meat is overcooked.
10:44The potatoes are lumpy and the green beans are mushy.
10:48This is worthless, Rachel, completely worthless.
10:52I work all day to provide for this family and this is the thanks I get.
10:57I'm so, so sorry, Ryan, I tried to make it exactly the way you like it.
11:04No, well, you failed.
11:06Restaurants cook better than this.
11:09Hell, even my mother cooked better than this 40 years ago.
11:13Well, maybe I can fix it.
11:15Maybe I can make something else.
11:17With what?
11:18You've ruined the food I paid for with my hard earned money.
11:23You deliberately sabotaged my meal in revenge for my confrontation with Julia earlier, didn't you?
11:29No, Ryan, I would never-
11:31You're lying to me.
11:32You're a liar and a terrible cook and a failure as a wife.
11:37You can't cook.
11:38You can't follow simple instructions.
11:41You can't prioritize your husband over your meddling friends.
11:45What good are you?
11:47Please don't say these things.
11:48I am trying my best.
11:50Your best isn't good enough.
11:52It was never good enough.
11:54I'm doing my best under these impossible circumstances.
11:59I'm walking on eggshells every day trying to anticipate what you want, trying to not upset you.
12:04Maybe if you spent less time feeling sorry for yourself and more time being a proper wife, we wouldn't have
12:11these problems.
12:12I gave up my career for you.
12:15I gave up my friends, my hobbies, my independence.
12:20What more do you want from me?
12:22I want you to stop being so goddamn selfish.
12:24Where is she?
12:25Please.
12:26Please.
12:26Please don't hurt me.
12:30You disgust me.
12:32Sleep on the couch tonight.
12:42Julia.
12:45He almost hit me.
12:48Yeah, he raised his hand and I thought he was going to hit me.
12:55Hey, come on in.
12:58Hey, thanks.
12:59Good.
13:00I came as soon as I got your call.
13:02Are you okay?
13:03Did he hurt you?
13:04I mean, he didn't hit me, but God, he came so close.
13:09I've never seen him that angry before.
13:12I'm taking you away from here tonight.
13:13You can stay at my place with Vlad and me.
13:15I can't.
13:16He'll be even more furious if not here in the morning.
13:19Rachel, you can't keep living like this.
13:21It's only going to get worse.
13:24I told you to stay away from my house.
13:26What part of not welcome didn't you understand?
13:29My wife isn't going anywhere with you.
13:32You have no right to interfere in our marriage.
13:35Rachel is an adult human being who can choose where she wants to spend the night and with whom she
13:42associates.
13:43She's my wife.
13:44She made vows to me, not you.
13:47Marriage vows don't include giving up basic human rights and freedoms.
13:52You're poisoning her mind against me with all your feminist bullshit and independence inequality.
13:58Before you started filling her head with these ideas, we had a good marriage.
14:04She was content and she was happy.
14:08She was isolated and controlled.
14:10That's not happiness.
14:11She was a proper wife who understood her role and responsibilities.
14:16Her role?
14:17What year do you think it is, Ryan?
14:19You're trying to destroy our marriage because you're jealous of what we have.
14:23What you have is an abusive relationship built on fear and control.
14:27Shut up!
14:27You don't know anything about us!
14:31Now, Vlad!
14:33Ryan Matthews, you're under arrest.
14:36You're being charged with domestic violence, threatened assault, and intimidation.
14:40What the hell?
14:40I never actually hit her.
14:42This is insane!
14:44Domestic disputes shouldn't involve the police.
14:46This is between me and my wife.
14:48Officer, there's been documented pattern of emotional abuse, financial control, isolation,
14:54and threatened violence throughout their marriage.
14:57Sir, threatening physical harm against a spouse or partner constitutes assault under the law,
15:03regardless of whether contact actually occurs.
15:06Domestic violence includes emotional abuse, control tactics, financial manipulation, and intimidation.
15:12This is ridiculous.
15:13I provide for her.
15:14I take care of her.
15:15She has everything she needs.
15:17You have the right to remain silent.
15:19Anything you can and say will be used against you in a court of law.
15:22You have the right to an attorney.
15:23If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
15:26You can't do this to me.
15:28I'm a respected member of this community.
15:30I pay taxes!
15:31And I go to work every day!
15:33Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?
15:35Screw you!
15:36Okay.
15:37Come on!
15:37Get over here!
15:39You're coming with me!
15:40Come on!
15:40Come on!
15:42We're going this way!
15:46I anticipated this possibility after our phone conversation earlier.
15:49I called Vlad and asked him to wait outside in case things escalated.
15:54You knew this might happen?
15:56I've seen cases like this before through my work.
15:59The pattern was clear.
16:00I was worried about your safety.
16:03I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been here tonight.
16:06You don't have to face this alone anymore.
16:09With Ryan's arrest, there will be legal protections in order, restraining order, support services,
16:14counseling, resources.
16:16Everything will be difficult for a while while you rebuild your life, but it will ultimately
16:22be so much better now that the abuse is documented and you're free from his control.
16:28I forgot what it felt like to breathe normally.
16:31The cycle of control and fear is finally broken, Rachel.
16:34You're going to be okay.
