You have to call Patricia Walsh and tell her you made a mistake. I didn't make a mistake. You did. They're going to fire us both. Is that what you want?
For me to lose my job? Lydia, I don't care what happens to your job. I don't care what happens to Chris's job. I care about the fact that you destroyed our marriage and humiliated our daughter. I'll do anything.
I'll go to counseling. I'll cut off all contact with Chris. I'll It's too late. It's not too late. We can fix this.
No, we can't. And even if we could, I wouldn't want to. You showed me who you really are, Lydia. You're not the woman I married. You're not the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.
She was crying now. Please, Dave. I love you. No, you don't. If you loved me, you wouldn't have done this.
I hung up and turned off my phone. That evening, Maya called me from her grandparents house. Dad, mom came over here crying and begging Grandma and Grandpa to talk to you. What did they say? Grandpa told her she made her bed and now she has to lie in it.
Grandma wouldn't even let her in the house. How are you doing, sweetheart? I'm angry. I'm sad, but I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. Thanks, kiddo.
That means a lot. Dad, are you going to be okay? Yeah, Maya. I'm going to be fine. We both are.
Two days later, Jim Patterson called with an update. Dave, I've got good news and bad news. Give me the bad news first. Lydia's hired a lawyer. She's going to fight the divorce.
And the good news, her lawyer is an idiot. He's trying to claim that your security cameras were installed illegally and that the footage is inadmissible. Is he right? Not even close. You have every right to install security cameras in your own home.
The footage is absolutely admissible and it's damning. What about the work situation? I heard through the grapevine that both Lydia and Chris were terminated yesterday for violating company policy. I felt a surge of satisfaction. Really?
Really? Apparently, your video presentation was very thorough. Their company has a strict policy against fraternization between employees and conducting personal relationships during work hours is grounds for immediate termination. So, they're both unemployed. Both unemployed.
Both facing a messy divorce proceeding and both dealing with the social consequences of their actions. Good. The final piece of my revenge came together the following weekend. Eddie called me Saturday morning. Dave, you need to get down to the bar now.
