Scott Moyer is a 38-years old sales representative for a manufacturing company. He lives with his wife Andrea and their two sons, Connor and Tyler. Scott’s performance at work has been decreasing over the past several months. Because of his work stress, he has been drinking more frequently and routinely has several drinks in the evening.
Death in the Family: Episode 1 Program Transcript GUARD: Scott Moyer? SCOTT: Yeah, that’s me. GUARD: You’re free to go. Your lawyer’s waiting for you in a room down the hall that way. SCOTT: Thank god. [FOOTSTEPS] Frank, Man, it’s good to see you. FRANK: Hey, Scott. How you doing? SCOTT: Guy in the cell next to mine snored like a fog horn. I don’t think I slept more than 10 minutes last night. Thanks for bailing me out. FRANK: I didn’t. Andrea decided not to file any charges against you again. SCOTT: (SIGHING) OK, then. Let’s get out of here. FRANK: Hang on a sec. Let’s sit down. There’s some things I want to talk to you about first. [CHAIR SCOOTING] This is the third time you’ve been arrested for fighting with Andrea, and she’s not the one who called the police on you this time. It was your neighbors. SCOTT: Your point being what? FRANK: Look, we’ve known each other a long time. I’m your lawyer and your friend. This kind of trouble can’t go on. The next time it happens you could be looking at court-ordered domestic violence counseling, anger management classes. SCOTT: Not the bleeding heart treatment, (CHUCKLING) anything but that. FRANK: It might not be such a bad idea. The police report says you choked her.
SCOTT: Yeah, well, she tried to take my beer away. © 2016 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Death in the Family: Episode 1 FRANK: Are you listening to yourself? Do yourself a favor and stop drinking too. SCOTT: (SIGHING) Yeah. Yeah. I love Andrea. I do. But sometimes we’re arguing, and the next thing I know I’m on my fifth beer, and the kids are crying and she’s crying. I swear, stress sometimes, especially at work. I can’t seem to make enough money anymore. My paycheck’s gone faster than I can spit. FRANK: That’s what Andrea said this last fight was about– money. SCOTT: Yeah, sort of. I bought a handgun the other day, and she flipped out– said we couldn’t afford it. Didn’t care that I got it for us, for protection, you know? Then she started talking about how she didn’t want it in the house because she’s anti-gun all of a sudden. Anti-gun? Give me a break. That gun is staying. FRANK: I hope you’ve got a license for it. SCOTT: Of course I do. And I’ve taken gun safety. FRANK: Good. But Andrea told me you got mad over her taking a job to earn some extra money? SCOTT: Actually, it started with me buying the gun. And then she told me about this job she got to help with the bills. I swear, she’s already got a job– at home with our kids. FRANK: Scott– SCOTT: No! When she takes a job, that’s saying I can’t provide for our family. What man wants to hear that? FRANK: Sounds to me like she’s just trying to help. SCOTT: I don’t need her to help. I just need her to do what I say. Are we finished here?
FRANK: Yeah. SCOTT: Then I’m ready to go home. [CHAIR SLIDING ON FLOOR] Don’t worry. I’ve learned my lesson. I don’t plan on getting arrested again

FEMALE SPEAKER: They let him go? FEMALE SPEAKER: Look, I know what you said but I decided not to press charges. The kids were so upset. They were up all night. FEMALE SPEAKER: Where are they? I sent them over to a neighbor’s for a few hours. So Scott and I can be alone and talk things out. FEMALE SPEAKER: Talk things out? Andrea, your throat’s still red from where he tried to wring your neck. FEMALE SPEAKER: He loves bacon and french toast, that’ll put him in a good mood. Would you like some coffee? I just made a fresh pot. FEMALE SPEAKER: Andrea, Scott’s dangerous. He’s out of control. You told me he scares you. Said he’s not a good father or husband. Listen to me! FEMALE SPEAKER: I am listening. You’re a good friend, Maya, and I owe you so much. I got my teaching job thanks to you. But I’m just trying to survive here and take care of my kids until I can figure out how to get out of this marriage and get away from him without things getting any worse. But right now, Scott’s going to walk through that door and I need to have his french toast ready, do you understand me? FEMALE SPEAKER: Sure, I get it. FEMALE SPEAKER: Oh God, he’s here. You like french toast? I can make you some extra. © 2016 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Death in the Family: Episode 2 FEMALE SPEAKER: No, I’m good. I better be going.

MALE SPEAKER: I thought we weren’t going to talk about money?

MALE SPEAKER: Could be worth six figures. MALE SPEAKER: Wow. Who is It? MALE SPEAKER: I’d rather keep that quiet for now, until I reel them in a bit more. But it’s looking very good. I know the last few months have been a little slow for me but this one’s going to change that. It’s a really big fish. MALE SPEAKER: Listen, I called you in today because the last several months have been more than slow for you here. Frankly, they’ve been a disaster. We’ve talked about this, but it’s just not turning around. MALE SPEAKER: I know. I know but I’m sure I’m going to get a break here. This deal I was just telling you about, it’s going to be sweet. I promise. MALE SPEAKER: Scott, Scott, I like you. I really do. But this is all just talk. I need to see sales. And I need to see them now. Or I won’t have any choice but to let you go. MALE SPEAKER: But I’ve got a big deal on the line. It’s going to change everything. You’ll see. MALE SPEAKER: Listen, I’m sorry. But that’s just big talk, Scott. And I’m tired of it. Either you start making some sales or we make a fresh start without you. And if I can share some advice, I’d start watching my money if I were you. I see you with a brand new car, flashy new clothes, taking people to dinner. And I think, how the hell is he able to afford all of that when he isn’t making a nickel? And I’d stop drinking, too. © 2016 Laureate Education, Inc. 1 Death in the Family: Episode 3 MALE SPEAKER: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have stopped. MALE SPEAKER: People in the office smell it on you. MALE SPEAKER: They’re lying. MALE SPEAKER: I smell it on you. MALE SPEAKER: OK, I just– please. I just need time to straighten out some things. I know I’ve promised before, but I mean it this time. I give you my word. No more drinking. And I’m going to start closing the sales. MALE SPEAKER: You have until the end of the month. [MUSIC PLAYING] MALE SPEAKER: One way or the other, that’s it. Make the most of it. Death in the Family: Episode 3 Additional Content Attribution
