>> I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND. >> I WANT IT, AND I DID NOT AGREE TO BRING IT OUT HERE. >> OH, MY GOD. >> WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? I WAS CALLED HERE BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE ON THE VERGE OF A DIVORCE. >> YOU'RE SHOOTING [BLEEP] YOU HAVE TIME FOR THAT. I'VE HAD IT. I'VE SAID BE CAREFUL. >> THEY'VE LOCKED THEIR HOUSE. WE CAN'T DO THE WORK. THERE MIGHT NOT BE A PROJECT HERE. >> OH, NO. >> IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. >> I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS DON'T MAKE SENSE TO YOU. >> IT SEEMS THAT HE'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF LOSING CONTROL. >> BIG JOBS, I GOT TO GO FAST, PAT THROUGH ALL THESE ITEMS. >> HOLD ON, BUDDY. >> YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE, "WHAT THE [BLEEP] ARE YOU DOING?" WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP] >> I'M BG, AND I'M RETIRED, AND --<font color="#FFFF00"> Captions by VITAC --</font> >> I'M BG, AND I'M RETIRED, AND I'M THE WIFE OF LEE. >> I'M LEE, AND I'M BG's HUSBAND. THIS HOUSE IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD. >> IT'S ELABORATE. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE TO BEGIN WITH BECAUSE IT'S VICTORIAN, AND IT'S QUEEN ANNE STYLE. >> PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE DON'T KNOW WE HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GO ON THE INSIDE. >> I'M LAURA, AND BG AND LEE ARE MY PARENTS. THEIR HOUSE IS JUST THINGS EVERYWHERE. GOING THROUGH THE DOOR, IT'S JUST OVERWHELMING. >> [ SIGHS ] WELL, I KNOW THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THINGS THAT I MIGHT HAVE WANTED WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. THAT SET ME OFF ON A PATTERN OF TRYING TO GET THOSE THINGS AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE MY KIDS HAD THOSE THINGS. >> I'M NOT A PERSON WHO'S ADVERSE TO SHOPPING. I LIKE A GOOD BARGAIN. >> I'M A GOOD SHOPPER. WHEN YOU CAN GET THINGS FOR A QUARTER, SOMETIMES YOU'LL GET A LOT MORE THAN IF YOU HAD TO PAY $5. CHRISTMAS THINGS. "WELL, I CAN GET THIS. WELL, I CAN GET THEM ALL." AND EVEN PEOPLE WILL SAY STUFF LIKE, "TAKE THE WHOLE BOX FOR $2." AND OF COURSE, I WILL. >> I THINK EVERYTHING IS IN THERE. I THINK THEY COULD HAVE A STORE. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. OVER THE YEARS, MY MOM DIDN'T WANT TO GET RID OF THINGS, AND HE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE HE COULD GET RID OF THINGS THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GET RID OF. >> WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THAT? >> AND THERE WAS THIS TENSION THERE. >> WE BOUGHT TOO MUCH STUFF. I WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY THE LAST 10 YEARS IS WHEN THE BALANCE TIPPED. >> PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING WE DO, IT'S A PROBLEM. I MEAN, WE GET HURT AROUND THE HOUSE. I THINK I'VE GOT EIGHT BROKEN TOES OUT OF 10. THE CLIMBING OVER THINGS IS NOT HELPING ME. OH, MY CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH LEE IS -- IS -- IS -- IS NOT GOOD. WE ARE LEGALLY SEPARATED. >> IT'S AN UNTENABLE SITUATION. >> YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF FRICTION. I FEEL THAT HE SABOTAGES WHATEVER I DO. >> MY WIFE HAS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF AXES TO GRIND... >> OH, THAT WAS A NICE THING TO SAY, AS USUAL. >> ...AND IS VERY GOOD AT GRINDING THEM. >> LEE HAS 99.99% CONTROL. HE'S A COMPLETE CONTROL FREAK. >> HERE, HOLD THIS. HERE. NO. DUMP THEM IN. >> HE ACTUALLY BOARDED UP EVERY DOORWAY. >> I THINK THAT THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF DISAGREEMENTS. >> OH, HE GOES CRAZY IF YOU TOUCH ANYTHING. HE GOES COMPLETELY CRAZY. >> I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS, SHE WANTS TO GET RID OF THAT -- IMPASSE. THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE IF YOU HAVE TWO STRONG PERSONALITIES. >> IF I TOUCH THEM, HE GOES INSANE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE LIKES TO ACTUALLY BLAME ME FOR TOUCHING THINGS THAT I DON'T EVEN TOUCH. >> WE HAD A BIG FIGHT. SHE DID FILE FOR DIVORCE. I INTENDED TO BE MARRIED UNTIL I DIE. A DIVORCE WAS NEVER PART OF ANYTHING I WOULD CONSIDER. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND DIVORCE. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY PROPERTY. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THAT. >> I'M NOT HAPPY LIVING IN THIS SITUATION. WE ARE FINANCIALLY BOUND TO THE HOUSE, AND I CANNOT LEAVE, AND HE CANNOT LEAVE. THERE'S NO ABILITY FOR ONE PERSON TO GO SOMEWHERE AND LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO'S REMAINING CANNOT PAY FOR THE HOUSE. >> IF WE GET A DIVORCE, WHATEVER FINANCIAL PLANNING I WAS ABLE TO DO, IT WILL SCREW IT UP. >> YES, I WOULD SAY THERE IS A CRISIS. I THINK, IF WE DON'T GET THIS MESS CLEANED UP, THAT IT'S GONNA DESTROY ME, AND/OR IT WILL DESTROY LEE. >> MY NAME IS CHRIS. AND I HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB DRIVING A TOW TRUCK. PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THAT I'M NOT A REGULAR, EVERYDAY GUY BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE EXCESSIVE IN WANTING TO CLING TO WHAT I FIND... COMFORTING OR PLEASANT. SO I TEND TO HOARD A LOT OF THINGS. I'M COMING TO THE VIEWPOINT THAT MY HOME IS CLUTTERED... UNUSUALLY CLUTTERED... UNPLEASANTLY CLUTTERED. >> I'M ROCHELLE, AND CHRIS IS MY NEIGHBOR. CHRIS IS VERY...UNUSUAL. HIS MIND JUST DOESN'T THINK THE WAY NORMAL PEOPLE THINK, SO THERE'S NO RHYME OR REASON TO THE HOUSE. AND CHRIS SLEEPS IN A SLEEPING BAG ON THE FLOOR RIGHT THERE BETWEEN THE BOXES. MOST OF THE STUFF HE HOARDS IS STUFF THAT HE FINDS ON THE STREET. >> OFTENTIMES, MY EYES DART OVER TO THE GARBAGE CAN, AND THERE'S SOMETHING INTERESTING, SOMETHING ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL STICKING OUT OF IT. I WANT TO GO HOME AND TAKE IT APART AND SEE HOW IT WORKS AND ENJOY THAT PROCESS OF DISCOVERY. >> HE'S SPENDING PROBABLY BETWEEN $15,000 AND $19,000 A YEAR ON STORAGE UNITS. >> MY STORAGE UNITS ARE SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE THE EXPENDITURE EXCEEDS MY MONTHLY INCOME. >> CHRIS IS IN SERIOUS FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY WITH HIS CREDIT CARDS, WITH OWING THE I.R.S. >> I'M DIMLY AWARE THAT THIS SPENDING PATTERN IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. >> HE'S ON A PATH OF DESTRUCTION. >> I'M CAITLYN, AND CHRIS IS MY BROTHER. AS KIDS GROWING UP, CHRIS WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN EVERYONE ELSE. HE'S ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH MEETING PEOPLE AND INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE. HE ENJOYED ELECTRONICS. I REMEMBER HIS ROOM BEING FULL OF WHATEVER HE WAS BUILDING -- GADGETS. >> I'M GAIL, AND CHRIS IS MY BROTHER. I THOUGHT OF HIM AS VERY SMART. BUT I CERTAINLY THINK THAT THERE'S SOME REALLY BIG SWISS-CHEESE HOLES THAT HE'S GOT. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I FEEL PRETTY WORRIED. >> WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, HE'S LET LITTLE HINTS OUT IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT STRUGGLING WITH FINANCE. >> I GET WORRIED ABOUT THE MONEY, AND THEN I TRY TO CUT DOWN ON MY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES IN MY DAILY LIFE. >> HE TOLD ME THAT HE PULLED THE PLUG FROM HIS REFRIGERATOR. AND I SAID, "WHY?" HE SAID, "WELL, BECAUSE IT COSTS ELECTRICITY." >> I BELONG TO A CHAIN OF FITNESS GYMS, AND SOMETIMES I GO TO THE GYM AND USE THEIR SHOWER TO MAINTAIN MY PERSONAL HYGIENE. >> I SAID, "CHRIS, THIS IS CRAZY. IT COSTS MORE TO JOIN THE HEALTH CLUB ON A MONTHLY BASIS THAN TO PAY FOR ELECTRICITY AT YOUR APARTMENT." >> I WAS TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM HOME FOR PERIODS OF TIME AND EXPERIENCING THAT. BECAUSE IF I WAS NOT PAYING RENT ON THE APARTMENT, THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO STAY WITHIN MY INCOME LEVEL. BUT AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF BEING OUT ON THE STREET, MY EXPERIMENT ENDED IN FAILURE... BECAUSE I HAVE THIS STRONG WISH TO BE SAFE AND PROTECTED. >> SOMETHING'S NOT QUITE RIGHT IN HIS MIND THE WAY HE HOARDS AND WHAT HE THINKS. HE HASN'T FIXED IT. HE WON'T LET ME HELP HIM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. >> THE WORLDS ARE GONNA COLLIDE IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. >> HELLO. >> HI. >> HI. >> I'M BG. >> BG, NICE TO MEET YOU. >> HI. I'M LEE. NICE TO MEET YOU. >> LEE, PLEASURE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I'M DR. ROBIN ZASIO. I'M A LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, AND I SPECIALIZE IN OCD AND COMPULSIVE HOARDING. >> SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? >> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF HERE. IT'S ALL SIDEWAYS FROM HERE ON OUT, HUH? >> YES, MA'AM. >> MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF LEE AND BG's HOUSE WAS COMPLETE OVERWHELM. THIS WOULD BE YOUR DINING ROOM. >> IT IS. HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. >> WELL, NOT US. >> I'VE BEEN IN A LOT OF HOUSES. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN IN A HOUSE THIS TIGHTLY PACKED WITH STUFF. THIS HOUSE IS NOT SAFE. >> OH, MY GOSH. >> CAREFUL. IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE ARE SOME PRETTY STRONG ISSUES IN THIS MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP. ARE YOU GUYS HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS? >> WE'RE NOT HAVING -- WE HAVE ENOUGH INCOME TO COVER LIVING AND REGULAR STUFF. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON MAJOR PROJECTS. >> THE ONLY REASON WHY I ASK IS BECAUSE YOU'RE WANTING TO SELL THINGS TO RECOUP SOME OF THE MONEY. >> WE KNOW WE CAN RECOUP A LOT OF MONEY FROM A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE PURCHASED. >> NO. >> I THINK WHERE WE'RE GONNA GET INTO TROUBLE IS IF WE GO INTO THIS THINKING THAT WE'RE GONNA CATEGORIZE AND SELL. WE'RE NOT GONNA GET ANYWHERE. YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DECIDE DO YOU WANT TO TAKE OUR HELP TO GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER IN THE MOMENT AND LET STUFF GO IN THE MOMENT, OR IF THE PLAN IS TO SELL THEM, WE'RE GONNA LEAVE, AND THIS HOUSE IS GONNA BE IN THE EXACT SAME STATE. >> I REACHED OVERLOAD A WHILE BACK, JUST SO YOU KNOW. BUT I WANT MY MONEY BACK. >> I'M WORRIED. I THINK THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF WORLD WAR III WHEN THEY SEE PEOPLE IN THE HOME TOUCHING THEIR STUFF. >> I'M DOROTHY BREININGER. I'M A PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZING EXPERT, AND I SPECIALIZE IN HOARDING. >> HERE YOU GO, BOYS. >> WE'RE HERE. WE'RE READY TO GO. I'VE GOT 20 PEOPLE. GO, GO, GO. >> IT'S BRAND-NEW, AND LOOK AT IT NOW. IT'S GOT A THING ON IT. PUSHED AND SHOVED. [ SIGHS ] WE NEED TO SET SOME STANDARDS. WE'VE GOT THE HOUSE LOCKED NOW. WE NEED TO GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT 'CAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO GLUE AND REPLACE EVERYTHING I OWN. >> WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET, AND THEY'RE TELLING US THAT THINGS ARE BROKEN. >> "WELL, BE CAREFUL OF THIS." AND THE GUY'S HERE. I COME BACK, AND THEN THIS IS DESTROYED. >> WE'VE BEEN WORKING -- WHAT? -- 15 MINUTES MAYBE, AND THE WHOLE PROCESS IS STOPPED. >> I'VE HAD IT. I'VE SAID BE CAREFUL. >> THEY'VE LOCKED THEIR HOUSE. WE CAN'T GET IN. WE CAN'T DO THE WORK. THERE MIGHT NOT BE A PROJECT HERE. [ KNOCK ON DOOR ] >> CHRIS? THIS IS DR. CHABAUD. >> HELLO. >> YES. COULD YOU OPEN THE DOOR? OH, HEY, CHRIS. >> HI. >> I'M DR. SUZANNE CHABAUD, AND I SPECIALIZE IN COMPULSIVE HOARDING. >> HI. >> HI. I DON'T THINK I CAN GET THROUGH, THOUGH. >> OH, YOU'RE PRETTY THIN. >> I COULD BARELY GET INSIDE THE HOUSE. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS HE REALLY DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO COME INSIDE HIS HOUSE. BUT THERE'S A MIXED MESSAGE. CHRIS REALLY WANTS TO BE WITH PEOPLE, BUT HE DOESN'T REALLY PREPARE HIMSELF FOR WELCOMING PEOPLE INTO HIS LIFE. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE? >> NO. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE? >> YEAH, I LIKE HAVING YOU IN THE HOUSE. IT'S JUST NICE HAVING YOU HERE AND SMILING AT ME IN A FRIENDLY WAY. IT FEELS -- IT FEELS GOOD. >> I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE FOR YOU TO HAVE SOME COMPANY. >> Y-Y-Y-YEAH, MAYBE UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> YEAH. >> THE TRUTH IS CHRIS IS A VERY LONELY PERSON WHO REALLY WANTS HUMAN CONTACT. NOW HE'S LETTING PEOPLE ENTER THIS WORLD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS HERE. IT'S EITHER YOU, CHRIS, OR IT'S YOUR OBJECTS. >> MY NAME IS CORY CHALMERS. I'M AN EXTREME CLEANER SPECIALIZING IN BIOHAZARD AND HOARDING. DR. CHABAUD AND I HAVE A LOT OF WORK CUT OUT FOR US BECAUSE CHRIS IS A VERY FRAGILE, SENSITIVE MAN, AND IF WE PUSH HIM TOO HARD, HE'S GONNA BREAK. >> I WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT I SAW IN THE HOUSE. WOW! IT WAS PRETTY OVERWHELMING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE CAN SURVIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THAT. THIS IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE THAN I EVER IMAGINED. >> THAT'S MY APARTMENT. >> THIS IS YOUR APARTMENT. >> I CAN'T CONDONE THIS KIND OF LIVING. I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S HEALTHY. I MEAN, FRANKLY, CHRIS, IF YOU WOULD DIE RIGHT NOW, WHO'S GONNA PICK UP THIS [BLEEP] CAITLYN LIVES A WAYS. IT'S GONNA BE ME. I'M GONNA BE THE ONE THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THIS [BLEEP] PERSONALLY, I FEEL LIKE I'VE BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO TRY TO HOLD MYSELF IN CHECK AND BE KIND AND BE GENTLE AND BE UNDERSTANDING, AND IT'S REALLY HARD, CHRIS. IT'S REALLY HARD. >> MAYBE THAT'S WHAT I'M SENSING. I'M SENSING SOMETHING'S BOILING, BUT THEN IT'S BEING HELD BACK, AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT, WHAT'S BEHIND IT. >> YEAH, WELL, I FEEL LIKE I COULD BLOW UP. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO STRANGLE YOU. YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE, "WHAT THE [BLEEP] ARE YOU DOING? >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW [BLEEP] LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP] WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? [ SIGHS ] DAMN IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! >> I'M NOT GONNA PLAY THAT GAME. I'VE HAD IT. I'VE SAID BE CAREFUL. >> SO, HERE'S THE DEAL. LEE AND BG HAVE LOCKED THE HOUSE COMPLETELY -- SOLID. >> DO YOU WANT TO KEEP THIS? >> NO. >> BYE-BYE FOR THAT. >> EXCELLENT. >> BYE-BYE. THIS -- THIS CAN GO. IT'S A SMALL. BUT I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA GET RID OF THE GIGANTIC ONE YET. >> CONCRETE GOES. STEEL STAYS. >> UNLESS THEY PULL IT OUT FOR TRASH, WE'RE JUST MOVING MOST OF THIS AS CLOSE TO THE PATIO AS POSSIBLE 'CAUSE I WANT ALL THIS CLEAR, YEAH? >> I'M DONE WITH THIS. HOW ABOUT YOU? >> [ SIGHS ] I'M REALLY NOT DONE WITH IT. IF I GET FORCED INTO IT, IT'S GONNA GO, BUT THERE'S NO OTHER VEHICLE THAT DOES THAT WITHOUT PEDALING. YOU RUINED THAT ONE FROM THE VERY START. THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL ONE, AND YOU HAD TO PUT A BUNCH OF CRAP ON IT. AND YOU'LL NEVER FIND A BLUE, HUGE RADIO FLYER AGAIN. >> HOW ABOUT ONE OF THE SLIDES? YOU'VE GOT TWO SLIDES. HOW ABOUT ONE OF THE SLIDES? >> NO. >> OKAY. >> WHAT'S WITH THE TELEPHONE BOOTH? >> IT'S GONE. >> I DON'T THINK I CAN PART WITH IT YET. >> THE PLAN WAS TO GET SOME ROOM IN THE BACKYARD AS A SORTING STATION. >> EVERYTHING BACK TO HERE GOES. >> AND, YES, WE HAVE FILLED UP 3/4 OF A TRUCK, WHICH IS GREAT. BUT THERE IS STILL SO MUCH STUFF BACK THERE. >> DO YOU WANT TO GET RID OF IT? >> YES. IF WE CAN FIND IT. >> GOD! >> I WANT TO GET CLEAR ON HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR YOU TO GO THROUGH THESE, WHAT YOU'RE KEEPING, WHAT YOU'RE NOT. >> I DON'T KNOW YET. THIS I WOULD EITHER KEEP BECAUSE OF THE COLORS AND THE STYLE FOR ME. BUT I'D HAVE TO TRY IT ON. IF IT'S TOO SMALL, IT'S GOING. >> WELL, WHAT'S THE DEAL? DO YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON? >> CAN'T GIVE IT UP YET. CAN'T. IT'S ME. IT'S ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. BYE-BYE. BAD PURCHASE. >> THESE ARE KEEPS. >> THEY CAN BOTH GO. >> HISTORY. >> IS IT? I WISH YOU WOULDN'T ANSWER FOR MY CLOTHES. I REALLY DO. >> [ SIGHS ] OKAY. >> WHAT IS THAT, ANYWAY? >> WHAT IS WHAT? >> HE ANSWERS FOR YOU A LOT. >> YES, AND HE TALKS BEFORE I CAN TALK. >> I'M TRY-- >> GIVE ME A SECOND. GIVE ME A SECOND. >> AND HE INTERRUPTS EVERYTHING I SAY. >> WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT? WE'RE GONNA CLEAR THIS SPACE SO THAT WE CAN CLEAR THAT UPSTAIRS AREA, YES? AM I MAKING TWO LIVING ROOMS AND TWO KITCHENS, OR AM I MAKING ONE LIVING ROOM AND ONE KITCHEN? I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE. I WAS CALLED HERE BECAUSE YOU TWO ARE ON THE VERGE OF A DIVORCE. WHENEVER I TRY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON, THERE'S A DIVERSION TECHNIQUE THAT COMES IN. FIRST OF ALL, BG TRIES TO ANSWER IT, AND SHE'S TOLD TO SHUT UP. OKAY. THEN LEE COMES IN AND SAYS THE REST. >> YOU'RE WRONG. >> THIS IS WRONG? >> YOU ARE MISINFORMED. WE ARE DROWNING IN STUFF, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO WORK ON. >> THE GOAL IS TO GET IN THE HOUSE. WE'VE -- THIS HAS ALL GOT TO GO, BASICALLY. >> WE GOT BOOKS, VIDEOS, DVDs, CDs, ET CETERA. THESE ARE CATEGORIES OF THINGS WE'RE GONNA KEEP. >> WELL, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT WE JUST TOOK OUT. >> IT'S EVERYTHING. >> I LOADED IT IN HERE. I KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHERE IT WAS. >> OKAY, SO, LEE -- BUT LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING. HOW ARE WE MAKING ROOM FOR STUFF IF ALL WE'VE DONE IS TAKE IT OUT AND THEN TONIGHT WE'VE GOT TO BRING IT BACK IN AGAIN? >> I CAN MAKE SPACE IN THERE. I CAN MOVE IT AROUND. BUT WE'RE NOT DOING THEM THE SERVICE OF HELPING THEM WITH THEIR HOARDING ISSUES. >> NO, AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE REALLY FELT STRONGLY THAT ALL WE'RE DOING IS MAKING MORE ROOM FOR THEM TO BRING IN MORE STUFF. THEY -- THEY'VE GOT IT BAD. THEY'VE GOT IT REALLY, REALLY BAD. >> I FEEL LIKE I COULD BLOW UP. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO STRANGLE YOU. >> UH-HUH. >> I FEEL LIKE, "WHAT THE [BLEEP] ARE YOU DOING?" >> YEAH. >> YOU KNOW [BLEEP] LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP] [ SIGHS ] >> LET'S TUNE IN TO YOUR SISTER RIGHT NOW AND TRY TO REALLY READ WHERE SHE'S AT. ARE YOU SENSING JUST THE JUDGMENT AND THE CRITICISM AND THE HIGH DEMANDS? WHAT ARE YOU SEEING IN HER FACE? >> I THINK SHE'S DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVEN'T DONE BETTER. >> I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY. >> I THINK YOU AND GAIL HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU THINK. I THINK BOTH OF Y'ALL REALLY WANT SAFETY AND PEACE AND HAPPINESS AND PROTECTION. AND IT'S REALLY PAINFUL WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GET IT FOR THEMSELVES. >> SO, YOU WANT TO DO ONE ITEM AT A TIME AND SEE IF THEY'RE YES OR NO? >> THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME. WOULD THAT WORK FOR YOU? JUST PICKING IT UP ONCE AND MAKING A DECISION? >> YEAH, THAT'S -- THAT'S AN INTELLIGENT WAY TO DO IT. >> CHRIS, ARE YOU GETTING UPSET? >> WELL, IT'S -- IT'S JUST A PROCESS THAT HAS TO BE DONE. I-I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. >> TALK TO ME. NO, TAKE -- TAKE A SECOND. WE'RE JUST STARTING TO GO THROUGH THE BEGINNING ITEMS IN THE KITCHEN, AND CHRIS IS ALREADY SHOWING EXTREME AGITATION. IT SEEMED LIKE YOU'RE THROWING THINGS OUT OF ANGER NOW, AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT THROWING AWAY THINGS THAT YOU REALLY DO WANT. >> GAIL, MY SISTER, IS UPSET. AND I'M TRYING TO ALLEVIATE HER SUFFERING. I'M TRYING TO COOPERATE. >> CHRIS IS IN A REALLY INTENSE STATE RIGHT NOW. HE HAS THIS SENSE THAT IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO BE DONE, HE HAS TO DO IT, AND HE HAS TO DO IT REALLY FAST. >> IF YOU DISENGAGE FROM THIS PROCESS AND JUST TOSS STUFF WITHOUT TALKING THROUGH IT AND UNDERSTANDING WHY AND ALL THE EMOTION INVOLVED, YOU'RE NOT GONNA LEARN ANYTHING FROM IT. OKAY, SO, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO HAND IT TO YOU? >> IF WE CAN DO IT NONVERBALLY, IT'LL BE A LOT EASIER FOR ME. >> [ CHUCKLES ] WE CAN'T DO IT NONVERBALLY. WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS. >> BUT THE ANSWER IS RIGHT HERE IN MY FINGERS, AND I SAY, "OH, THIS, THIS." >> LET ME MAKE JUST ONE THING CLEAR. IF YOU ARE GONNA GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ITEM, EVERY SINGLE BOX, EVERY SINGLE ENVELOPE, WE WON'T GET DONE. >> I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA SORT IT UNLESS I LOOK AT IT. >> WELL, YOU DON'T NEED TO. THAT'S THE THING. YOU NEED TO LET YOUR SISTERS MAKE DECISIONS ON YOUR BEHALF. >> YEAH, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT. THAT'S THE ONLY PROBLEM. >> CHRIS' SINGLE FOCUS -- IF THE JOB NEEDS TO BE DONE,<i> HE'S</i> GOING TO DO IT. HE REALLY DOESN'T TRUST OTHER PEOPLE TO HANDLE HIS OWN STUFF. WE'RE SAVING ALL YOUR CDs, ALL YOUR COMPUTER STUFF, ANY PIECE OF PAPER THAT HAS SOMETHING WRITTEN ON AT ALL. >> UH-HUH. >> IT'S HARD TO BE AROUND HIM. HE DOES NOT LISTEN. CHRIS, COULD YOU STOP FOR A SECOND AND TALK TO ME? >> BIG JOBS, I GOT TO GO FAST, PAT THROUGH ALL THESE ITEMS. AH, THIS IS WHAT -- THIS IS THE THING I WAS LOOKING FOR. >> WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT -- HOLD ON, BUDDY. CHRIS IS SO INTENSE AND SO HYPER. SO, COULD YOU JUST STOP AND COME SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE? IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF LOSING CONTROL. >> STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP. YOU CAN'T FOCUS IF YOU'RE -- IF YOU'RE TOUCHING STUFF. >> DOROTHY, ARE YOU IN HERE? >> I-I HAVE TO LOCK THAT. I HAVE EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS. >> [ SIGHS ] WELL, THEY CAN'T -- WE CAN'T LOCK THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE. >> BUT THEY'RE NOT TO BE IN HERE WITHOUT HIM. >> [ SIGHS ] >> I'M -- I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I'M TOLD. I'M NOT -- >> NO, NO, I UNDERSTAND. >> I'M NOT GOING AGAINST HIM. >> I UNDERSTAND. LEE. >> YES? >> WE CAN'T GET STUFF OUT OF THE HOUSE IF THE FRONT DOOR IS LOCKED. WE CAN'T HAVE THE FRONT DOOR LOCKED 'CAUSE WE CAN'T GET IN AND OUT. WE'RE TRYING TO DO A SERVICE FOR YOU. YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE US A LITTLE BIT. >> YOU WANT TO SELL STUFF. YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DOING A YARD SALE. WELL, GUESS WHAT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO SAY YES, I HAVE AN ENTIRE TEAM WHO'S READY TO POST SIGNS RIGHT NOW. >> CAN THEY SELL IT? >> AND THEY CAN SELL IT FOR YOU. >> WORKS FOR ME. >> OH, MY GOD! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! NO WAY! WHOO! >> YAY, DOROTHY! YAY, DOROTHY! >> BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WANT TO KNOW WHETHER IT'S REALLY SELLING. IF IT'S NOT, THEN YOU NEED TO COME CLEAR THAT YARD SALES AREN'T THE WAY FOR YOU. >> DONATE? FREE? WHAT WOULD YOU...? >> FREE. >> OKAY. >> YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE THE TRAMPOLINE WITH YOU? >> IF I COME BACK. >> GO AHEAD. TAKE A SPIN ON IT. IT'LL BE GREAT. >> OKAY. >> FOR ALL THESE YEARS, LEE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAVING A YARD SALE. AND THIS IS LONG PLAN THAT HE'S HAD FOREVER, AND THIS WAS GONNA BE THE REASON WHY THEY'VE GOT THE HOARD -- 'CAUSE HE'S READY FOR THE YARD SALE. HE'S NOT AT THE YARD SALE! HE'S NOT EVEN THERE. AND THEN, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, HE APPEARS AND TAKES SOMETHING BACK OUT AND PUTS IT BACK IN THE YARD. NOT A VERY GOOD YARD-SELLER. [ LAUGHS ] >> IF IT'S ON THE SIDEWALK, CLEARLY YOU GUYS DON'T WANT IT, IF YOU WERE GONNA SELL IT OR GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREE. SO, AT THIS POINT, CAN WE PUT IT ON THE TRUCK, GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN USE IT, RATHER THAN RE-PACK IT UP AND PUT IT IN A BOX AGAIN? >> BEFORE WE DO THAT, WE WOULD BOTH LIKE TO GLANCE 'CAUSE A NUMBER OF THINGS SHOWED UP THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WERE THERE. >> OKAY. GO. >> AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT... >> FIVE MINUTES. >> YEAH. >> OH, I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS. DARN IT. >> DO YOU KNOW IF THIS WORKS? >> WHAT'S THIS? >> THAT'S OUR STUFF. >> THIS PINK IS YOURS? >> YEAH. >> OH, OKAY. AND THIS? >> YEAH. THAT'S GAFFER'S TAPE. >> OKAY. IT'S ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE THE SAME THING. IT'S OKAY. >> YOU CAN KEEP YOUR STUFF. YOU CAN'T HAVE OURS. >> [ LAUGHS ] I DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOURS. I HAVE ENOUGH. THANK YOU. >> I'M NOT SURE WHAT THESE ARE. >> I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THEM. YOU'RE TAKING UP SOME OF MY FIVE MINUTES. >> MM-HMM. >> HURRY UP. I LIKE IT, FOR THE THIRD TIME. AND I WANT IT, AND I DID NOT AGREE TO BRING IT OUT HERE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S HERE. >> DO YOU WANT TO SELL THIS? >> HE WANTS TO SELL EVERYTHING HE CAN SELL. >> YOU'RE STRUGGLING HERE. >> LET'S STOP STRUGGLING, AND LET'S GET RID OF SOME STUFF. COME ON. >> OH, MY GOD. >> I NEVER SAW IT COME IN, AND I DIDN'T WANT IT IN. >> SO, DAUGHTER HAS A CHOICE -- TO COME AND GET IT? >> RIGHT. >> IS THAT RIGHT? >> SHE WANTS TO COME AND GET IT. >> AND YOU WILL TAKE IT APART AND CARRY IT ALL THE WAY TO HER HOUSE, WHICH WE ALL KNOW. >> YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT THE KIDS. THERE'S SOMETHING WITH THE KIDS. THIS MAN WON'T LET YOU TALK ABOUT IT. >> I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TALK, PERIOD. >> WELL, WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING? ARE YOU NOT GROWN-UP? >> I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYTHING YOU SAY WILL BE ON THE INTERNET. >> GOOD. I DON'T CARE. I DON'T CARE. >> I FEEL FOR BG. SHE'S REALLY UNHAPPY. SHE TRULY FEELS HER ENTIRE FAMILY HATES HER. >> LEE WORKS AGAINST ME ON EACH THING, AND HE WORKS WITH THEM, AND NOW THEY ALL WORK AGAINST ME. >> AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN LIVING TOGETHER. >> WELL, I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE. I WANT TO HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET. I WANT TO HAVE A NICE LIFE. >> AT THIS POINT, THEY ARE GONNA NEED INTENSIVE THERAPY TO SALVAGE NOT ONLY THIS MARRIAGE BUT THIS FAMILY. IT IS IN EXTREME CRISIS. >> SO, COULD YOU JUST STOP AND COME SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE? >> STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP. YOU CAN'T FOCUS IF YOU'RE -- IF YOU'RE TOUCHING STUFF. JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH. CAN YOU PLEASE STOP AND FOCUS, PLEASE? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE SAME PLAN. SO, WE'RE AT THE END OF DAY ONE, AND HE'S BASICALLY NOT GIVEN UP ANY CONTROL. HE HAS TO GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE BOX. >> I DON'T KNOW. >> WE HAVE TO HAVE A HOUSE THAT HE CAN LIVE IN THAT'S SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO CLEAR STORAGE UNITS SO HE WILL HAVE THAT MONEY TO SPEND ON RENT AND UTILITIES. SO, WE HAVE THE HOUSE AND ALL THESE STORAGE UNITS AND ONE DAY TO FINISH IT ALL. OKAY, CHRIS, THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT WAS LOADED UP. YOU HAVE BASICALLY A WHOLE NOTHER APARTMENT-SIZE WORTH OF STUFF IN HERE. AND THIS IS COSTING YOU $7,200 A YEAR. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU HAD IT? >> YEAH. DECADES. >> ONE DECADE. THAT'S $72,000. >> WOW. >> AND YOU HAVE FIVE MORE OF THESE STILL TO GO. >> IF YOU -- LET'S THINK OF $72,000 AND HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU TO MAKE THAT MUCH MONEY, WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE $72,000 FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO KEEP OUT OF THERE? >> I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE. >> WELL, LET'S -- LET'S GO. >> LET'S SEE WHAT IT IS. >> LET'S SEE WHAT IT IS, YEAH. >> HERE, CHRIS, COME DOWN HERE. JUST GO AROUND THE EDGE, AND THEN YOU CAN JUST DROP IT IN THE TRASH IF YOU DON'T WANT IT, OKAY, PLEASE? >> I GOT PLENTY OF HELP, CORY. >> IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. EVERYONE'S HAVING TO -- >> I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS DON'T MAKE SENSE TO YOU. >> WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SLIDE DOWN HERE, CHRIS? >> IF CHRIS LAYS OUT THE PROGRAM, HE'S FINE. ONCE WE TAKE OVER AND SAY, "THIS IS HOW WE WANT YOU TO DO IT," HE'S GONNA PUT UP A WALL, AND THEN ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF THAT WALL IS AN ENEMY. >> WILL YOU PUT THE BOX AT THE END OF TABLE, PLEASE, CHRIS, PLEASE? >> JUST SO THIS GUY CAN -- >> WE CAN GET MORE BOXES OUT HERE, AND YOU CAN -- >> I DON'T NEED MORE BOXES AT A TIME. I NEED ONE BOX AT A TIME, AND THEN I CAN DO IT MOST EFFICIENTLY. BUT IF I'M TALKING TO YOU, I CAN'T WORK. >> MAYBE WHAT YOU CAN DO IS WE CAN ASK IF WE CAN GO IN, AND YOU CAN JUST LOOK REAL QUICK, AND THEN JUST SAY HAUL IT OUT. IF WE CAN GET RID OF IT, YOU SAVE 200 BUCKS. >> THE ANSWER IS NO. >> WE'RE AT THE END OF THE LINE. THIS IS TAKING AWAY HIS LIFE, TAKING AWAY HIS MONEY. STORAGE IS LIKE DEATH FOR HIM. >> OKAY, WELCOME, EVERYBODY. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. >> OKAY, FIRST THINGS FIRST. >> WE'RE NOT HERE TO DO GARAGE SALES OR YARD SALES. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT WE'VE EVER DONE THAT. WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACTUALLY DO WAS TO PROVE A POINT THAT MOST OF YOUR STUFF WAS NOT STUFF THAT PEOPLE WERE GONNA PURCHASE. >> IT WAS A SEVEN-HOUR YARD SALE. WE HAD 93 CUSTOMERS. WE SOLD VIRTUALLY NOTHING. GOING FORWARD, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A LIVING ROOM TODAY THAT YOU CAN HOST YOUR GRANDKIDS IN, TRICK OR TREATING, WHATEVER IS COMING UP. >> WE WANT TO DO THAT, AND I DO KNOW THAT, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. >> OKAY, WORKS FOR ALL OF US. PERFECT. >> THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY HEAVY IN HERE. >> YOU'RE SHOOTING THE [BLEEP] YOU HAVE TIME FOR THAT. GOD! I TOLD YOU HOW MANY TIMES, A THOUSAND? YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH YOUR STUFF, 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA COMPLAIN ALL NIGHT, AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT. LISTEN TO ME NOW. >> YES. >> THESE ARE THE ONES YOU SAID YOU WERE KEEPING. DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THOSE? YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS, OKAY? >> [ SIGHS ] >> WE'VE HAD FIVE FIGHTS IN THE LAST HOUR 'CAUSE HE WON'T HELP ME. FIRST, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 40 YEARS. IT WAS IN OUR SON'S ROOM. I WANTED IT TO GET GONE. HE TAKES SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND PUTS IT IN MY HALLWAY. THEN HE PUTS BOXES ON IT, THEN HE PUTS MORE BOXES ON IT, THEN FURNITURE AND BOXES AND FURNITURE AND BOXES. NOTHING GOES WHERE IT BELONGS, SO -- AND THEN NOTHING MAKES SENSE, AND YOU CAN'T GET TO ANYTHING. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> I WANT THIS OUT. I WANT THIS OUT, AND HE KNOWS. I'VE JUST ARGUED WITH HIM FOR AN HOUR. HE WON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, BUT HE WANTS TO KEEP THIS STUFF. I CAN'T GET ANY HELP. >> THEY WILL HELP YOU. >> OKAY. >> OH, NO. >> I'M TALKING WITH HER, AND SHE ALMOST HAULS OFF AND SMACKS HIM ONE. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, "THIS STUFF IN YOUR HOME IS COVERING UP DEEPER PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES." ONCE THERE'S ACTUAL ROOM FOR THE TWO OF YOU TO MOVE AND WALK AROUND, ALL OF THE ISSUES ARE GONNA COME UP. >> SHH, SHH. >> I WANT THIS OUT. I WANT THIS OUT. NO, I'M NOT GONNA "SHH." I'M NOT GONNA "SHH." I'M GETTING SICK OF SAYING IT. >> THEY'RE GONNA BOX IT. >> NO, THEY'RE NOT. THEY'RE GONE. THEY'RE NOT! >> I'M IN THE WAY. >> BG. BG. [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] >> WHEN MY WIFE GETS UPSET, SHE'S LIABLE TO SAY ANYTHING. >> IF THESE TWO ITEMS DON'T GO OUT OF THIS HOUSE IN ONE HOUR, I'M GONE. WHEN I ASK MY MATE FOR HELP, HE DOESN'T GIVE IT TO ME. WHEN I REALLY NEED IT AND WANT IT, HE DOESN'T GIVE IT TO ME. [ SIGHS ] I MEAN, HOW MUCH OF THAT CAN ONE PERSON TAKE? >> MY WIFE AND I WILL BE FINE. >> LEE AND BG SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF AT LEAST 15 TRUCKLOADS WORTH OF STUFF. THEY GOT RID OF TWO. WE CLEARED THE STAIRWAYS. WE CLEARED THE HALLWAYS SO THAT IF THERE'S A FIRE, THEY ACTUALLY CAN GET THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN HERE. THAT WAS MY MISSION. ANYTHING BEYOND THAT WAS LIKE, "WHOO-HOO!" AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED, WE GAVE THEM A LIVING ROOM BACK. AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL. LET'S GO INTO A LIVING ROOM WHERE YOU COULD HAVE SOME HOLIDAYS AND FAMILY. >> WHOO! OW! [ LAUGHS ] OH, MY GOSH. >> GOOD JOB. >> I'M -- I'M REALLY CONCERNED. I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT WE CLEARED A ROOM, BUT THAT'S ALL WE DID. ALL WE DID WAS MOVE ALL YOUR STUFF DOWNSTAIRS. WE REALLY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. >> I-I FEEL YOU DID. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. MY CONCERN IS IS THAT YOU GUYS ARE STILL STICKING TO YOUR STUFF. YOU'RE NOT LETTING IT GO. ON TOP OF THAT, THERE IS SO MUCH TENSION IN THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU, AND EVEN THOUGH WE'VE CLEARED A SPACE, IT'S ALSO CLEARED A SPACE FOR THE TWO OF YOU TO ARGUE MORE, TO BICKER MORE, AND TO GET INTO THE ISSUES MORE. SO IT'S GONNA BE CRITICAL THAT YOU FOLLOW UP WITH SOME THERAPY BECAUSE YOU GUYS AREN'T GONNA SURVIVE IT. I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT TO KEEP THIS SPACE OFF-LIMITS TO ANY BOX. >> WELL, I DO NEED TO PUT BACK IN THE LIVING ROOM WHATEVER BELONGS IN THE LIVING ROOM THAT'S IN THE YARD. >> DR. ZASIO, I CALL IT A "CLUTTER-FREE ZONE." >> YEP. >> I'M CERTAIN THAT THERE'S GONNA BE A COUPLE PIECES OF FURNITURE TO GO BACK IN THERE. YEAH, IT'S PRETTY BARREN. >> THE HALLWAY AND THE STAIRS MUST NOT HAVE A STITCH ON IT. >> THE HALLWAY LOOKS VERY LONELY, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S, YOU KNOW, NOT HAPPENING. >> YOU PUT ONE THING DOWN, IT'S LIKE IT BREEDS ANOTHER AND BREEDS ANOTHER. >> I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT LEE AND BG. IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH AFTERCARE SERVICES, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY BRING IN MORE STUFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INSIGHT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL. >> THIS IS WHAT WE'RE STUCK WITH. YOUR LANDLORD IS NOT GONNA LET THIS STAY HERE. >> NOW I HAVE TO FIND THE BOXES THAT I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT YET, AND THAT'S EFFORT. >> LET THE GUYS DO THE PHYSICAL WORK. >> I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE FRUSTRATED, BUT I'M NOT TRYING TO SABOTAGE YOU. I'M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE THE PLAN. I'M JUST TRYING TO ADDRESS WHAT'S LEFT TO DO IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WE HAVE TO DO IT. CHRIS, SERIOUSLY, LIKE, PLEASE. [ SIGHS ] >> I REALLY WANT YOU TO THINK, "WHAT WILL MY HOME SAY ABOUT ME?" AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT WILL YOUR HOME SAY ABOUT YOU TO YOU? TO YOU? I'VE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH CHRIS, TRYING TO FIND HIS LANGUAGE. BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO SPEAK<i> MY</i> LANGUAGE TO CHRIS. AND MY LANGUAGE TO CHRIS IS A DEEP PART OF ME BELIEVES THAT YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE. I JUST THINK THAT YOU'RE READY TO COME OUT, YOU KNOW, READY TO JOIN LIFE AGAIN AND TO BE A MORE ALIVE, CURRENT -- CURRENT PERSON. >> UH-HUH. THAT -- THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE AN EASY BOX. >> MAYBE YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES. YOU EVER THOUGHT OF THAT? MAYBE JUST GETTING GOOD AT THIS. >> YOU GOT A GOOD MOMENTUM GOING, CHRIS. >> CHRIS, YOU'RE IN A ZONE. >> IT'S ME AND ROCHELLE. WE'RE -- WE GOT OUR THING GOING HERE. >> YEAH, WE HAVE THE ASSEMBLY LINE, SEE? IT WORKS. >> MM-HMM. >> OUT OF ALL THIS STUFF YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING AT, YOU'RE LETTING GO OF ABOUT 95% OF IT. >> OH, THAT'S GREAT. >> BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT LIKE, "I REALLY DON'T NEED THIS STUFF." >> I'M JUST ENJOYING THE SENSATION. IT'S A NEW WAY OF THINKING. IT'S ALMOST LIKE AN INTOXICANT. >> [ LAUGHS ] >> THIS IS A MAJOR, MAJOR TURNAROUND FOR CHRIS. >> CARPE DIEM. CARPE DIEM, RIGHT? >> [ LAUGHS ] >> SEIZE THE MOMENT. >> SEIZE THE MOMENT. SEIZE THE MOMENT. >> IT WON'T HAPPEN LATER ON. >> [ LAUGHS ] THAT'S RIGHT. >> [ LAUGHS ] IT'LL HAPPEN NOW. >> IT'LL HAPPEN NOW. >> OR IT WON'T HAPPEN. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> I MEAN, WHAT A TRANSITION FROM CHRIS FIGHTING EVERYTHING TO CLEANING HIS ENTIRE HOUSE AND CLEANING OUT ALL OF HIS STORAGE UNITS. I MEAN, WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK FOR? IF YOU GUYS ARE READY, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SEE YOUR HOME. >> MY HOME? >> [ LAUGHS ] >> MM-HMM. NOT YOUR APARTMENT. YOUR HOME. YOU READY? >> YES. >> LET'S GO LOOK. >> I'M NOT GOING FIRST. >> OH, MY GOD. >> WHOA. [ LAUGHS ] >> AH! WRONG HOUSE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> OH, MY GOODNESS. WHOA. >> LOOK AT THAT. >> I'M A HOBBYIST, YEAH. >> OH, MY GOSH. >> OH, MY GOSH. >> AHH! >> [ LAUGHS ] >> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. >> WOW. >> THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. >> OOH! >> GO AHEAD. JUMP ON THE BED. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I WANT TO KEEP THIS PROCESS GOING, I WANT TO KEEP IT ALIVE, AND I WANT TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD INTO MORE DIMENSIONS OF WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. >> I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU. >> I HAVE GREAT HOPES FOR CHRIS. HE WANTS TO BE WITH PEOPLE. HE LIKES PEOPLE. NOW PEOPLE CAN COME INTO HIS HOUSE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE PEOPLE HERE FROM TIME TO TIME? >> YEAH, THAT CHOICE IS PRECIOUS. THIS IS A PLACE FOR LIVING. >> RIGHT. >> YEAH. I'M OVERJOYED. IT'S JUST A REMARKABLE FLUKE OF FATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO INVITE THIS WONDERFUL BOUNTY INTO MY LIFE. >> I FEEL TREMENDOUS RELIEF. AND THE FACT THAT MY BROTHER HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED -- HE HAS EMBRACED THE WORLD. [ Voice breaking ] HE WAS REALLY GONE TO ME FOR A LONG TIME. MAYBE I'LL HAVE MY BROTHER BACK.
