Parents lie to their children all the time -- you have to eat your vegetables, Santa is always watching, I’ll be right back, just going out for a pack of cigarettes -- but what happens if they never stop? In this story, a son gradually discovers what his father does for a living, and it forever changes who they are to each other and to themselves. This episode originally aired on Crime Show, hosted by Emma Courtland.
