Program: 04 | The Truth

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.

As the Avery family mourns a devastating loss, Clarence Hynes resists their multiple appeals. But the cost of turning away becomes greater and greater for Clarence. The two families hurtle towards an inevitable truth. 

Note: This episode references suicide; please take care when listening.
