BILL: I'm angry at Mark and Charlotte
for not giving me a chance to figure it out.
Instead, they're forcing me to the street with a little bit
of money I have left that has to go now to sleeping
in a fleabag hotel instead of being
over here packing my stuff up.
Very frustrating.
My parole officer is aware of it.
He's giving me his blessings to do what I have to do.
But man, this place stinks.
It smells like--
I don't know if I could say it in polite company,
but it really smells bad.
It's got that musty crackhouse, sweaty type smell to it.
SHARNA: When I started writing to Bill,
and when we made the decision to allow him to come and parole
here, we definitely didn't know as
much as we should have known.
I've definitely been hurt by Bill's behavior toward me.
You are my friend, and yet you're
going to cast me aside and treat me like a piece of trash.
You've come down and dressed inappropriately
if you're saying you're a Christian when your husband's
at work so, please.
It's been a hard thing to deal with.
What I've learned from this is that people
aren't always what they seem.
Someone can seem nice, writing letters,
and be a whole different ballgame
when they come into your home.
Mark is going to make sure that Bill gets all
of his things out of the room.
I'm going to be away from the house
somewhere else because I don't want to have
any more contact with him.
I did reach my breaking point with this.
I've had enough.
[phone ringing]
MARK: Hey, it's Mark.
Just checking in with you.
I need to see when you can come over
and we can get your stuff out.
Well, I'm going to have to start without you then.
Bill enjoys playing with our heads, but the game is over.
It's been nothing but chaos since he came.
And Bill only has a small window of time to get his stuff out
of here while Sharna is gone.
I don't want to wait for Bill to start moving his stuff out,
but I can't start packing without him
because before Bill left to visit his girlfriend
in California, he installed a lock on his door
and we don't have the key.
Kind of ridiculous that I need to put a lock
in a Christian family's home to stop them from violating
my privacy and Sharna from wanting to creep in the middle
of the night when I'm in bed.
I had the lock installed on my bedroom for security purposes
because I can't trust the people I live with.
MARK: I think Bill has a lot of paranoia.
The fact is, Sharna's very uncomfortable with the way
that he's insinuated feelings that she may have towards him.
Bill's challenged me as man of the house,
and I do feel kind of emasculated at this point.
But I'm not going to allow Bill to try to control my life.
Huh!
[window pane hitting the ground]
[music playing]
[knocking]
I have a lot of mixed feelings about moving
out and coming here to pack up.
But in a way, it's good because it'd be that much less
stress, that much less drama.
So I see you got in.
Yeah, you left the windows unlocked.
BILL: I could put up with anything having
done so much time in prison.
But this is to a new level.
It's kind of a relief that I can actually be somewhere
where I could eat pepperoni.
Why are you evicting me anyway?
What's the real reason?
Bill, you know the ongoing problem's
with Sharna, and the big factor that drives that is you.
So why don't you make this easy and evict her?
MARK: Well, here's the problem.
You couldn't lay off Sharna.
I asked you a thousand times to please
check her for her nasty comments towards me.
I told you a red line in the sand
is you continuing to harass her.
Nobody harassed her.
And you're way too worried about her, Bill.
I'm not worried about her.
I worry about you.
Why don't you worry about yourself?
MARK: I am.
To have Bill disrespect my wife like that
is definitely not cool.
I have to put my wife and our sanity before Bill.
We need to bring peace into our house and reclaim our lives.
Unfortunately, time has come to end this.
A good friend of mine is going to let me live with him while I
get on my feet going forward and while I look for a place
to live permanently.
Am I hurt?
Sure.
Am I disappointed?
Am I upset?
Am I angry?
A little bit.
But it is what it is.
I have to live my life, let them live theirs,
go about my business, put them in a rearview mirror,
because I know where I'm going.
I know I'm leaving behind a good environment physically,
but emotionally and mentally, it was killing me.
I think that's about it.
MARK: The most difficult thing about seeing Bill go
is that I'm unsure of his future.
He could fall through the cracks.
He could end up somewhere else where
he'd have much more temptation for the things
out in the world that can get him in trouble.
Sorry for things turning out the way they did.
No hugs. Hugs are for brothers.
I don't know if we're brothers anymore.
But anyway, I've got to get going.
I got to get the stuff put in a friend's house.
Take care.
All right, Bill.
Anything else?
I just hope that time and space could make things better.
I'm sorry we failed you.
Sorry.
Sorry about it, man.
Sorry, man.
I know we all three had our times where we fell short,
and I believe in taking responsibility for my part.
And I know Sharna's struggle with the times
that she could have done better.
And we've all had our times where
we could have done better.
All right.
BILL: All right.
Take care of yourself.
All right.
Just too bad that it had to end like this.
[car engine starting]
SHARNA: For me, the thing that I felt the most
was that I felt very betrayed because Bill
had made all of these promises the months before he got out.
And he didn't do any of it.
Instead, he turned on us, and he harassed us.
He accused us of things.
It was just a time that I'm never going to forget,
but I would like to forget and wish it never had happened.
[music playing]
Well, here I am in the new house.
Just got a new house with Mary.
I want to give you a tour of it.
Since I moved out of Mark and Sharna's, life has been great.
Mary has now moved to Indiana with me,
and we have our own place together.
What's this?
I can now wipe my butt without it being documented by Mark.
I have all the food I want.
I have my own ice.
It's wonderful.
Life is good.
Guess what I have?
I have smoked ham.
You see the ham?
I'm very happy.
Our wedding plans are as soon as we
can afford it and decide where we want to go,
we're going to get married.
Say hello to my new Cadillac.
Beautiful Cadillac, as you can see.
I put my criminal life behind me.
I'm writing books now about people I've met along the way,
about criminal justice reform, crime victim advocacy.
I've never been happier in my life.
I'm so thrilled that I'm in love.
and I have a woman who accepts me unconditionally.
I'm grateful for the initial offer and willingness
to take me in, get on my feet post incarceration,
not be a victim of recidivism like so many people back
and forth to prison.
I pray for Mark and Sharna.
I hope they learn to treat people a little better.
I'm open to wherever the future lies.
Every day of this challenge that is things I'm learning
is better than one more day in prison or the prison of Mark
and Sharna's house.
I have nobody ridiculing me.
I have nothing but love and support now in a very,
very peaceful household.
God bless.
