The Rookie - Tim Visits his Abusive Father (4x9)

[dxfan]

"No, I am who I am in SPITE of you!" Love it

[audreyprewett]

the way his voice almost broke on "the Tim Tests, those don't make me like him" 😭😭😭 he was trying so hard not to cry! he needed that hug, especially from Lucy

[lunxo]

the look on tims face when he was talking about the tim-tests.. and lucys reaction. makes me cry like a baby

[gregjenkinson]

2:27 even though he says it like a statement you can tell Tim is asking for validation from Lucy. He needs to know he's not like his dad

[VoidedDemonOfficial]

Anyone else hear the pain in his voice when he said "No, I am who I am in SPITE of you!"

[tonyblox]

An abusive parent will teach you one thing.
To never be like them.
Because you don't want anyone to go through what you did.

[oneswimmingboy]

This scene broke me. This is a fantastic show that I've loved since day 1 but this broke me. The anger and hatred for a parent that's really hard to understand from the outside.
He's said things I wish I couldve said and hearing them outloud brought me to tears.

[rayfpdl]

The door was open and Lucy was right outside🥲 she heard everything

[taleathamcfarlane]

This scene gave me hope for them! Him showing her being vulnerability shows he’s opening up more. The dads all through our families have been problematic

[simonroh]

Tim's dad abused them on the pretense of getting tough but actually protected his mistress just cause she was pretty and good-looking at least back then. Jesus.

[fightinamrah]

This father doesn't regret anything. He still thinks he was right and had the right to abuse his children. Tim is so right in saying "I hope it hurts."

[nathansheehan]

James ReMar is a great actor. Despite limited screen time he left a mark.

[COBRACHICKENOFFICIAL.]

I fully expected tim to say" I didn't need to be strong, I needed to be protected"😢

[jessicareyes]

Tim was so vulnerable… hes like the Tim test im nothing like him and lucy comforted him. She hates those test but she knows that Tim only did them to help her become a good cop it was malicious or sadistic

[Ali_Taylorsversion.]

The way his voice breaks when he says “those don’t make me like him”
And the sigh after Lucy hugs him
He really needed that hug

[rosejune-rt]

"No, I am who I am in SPITE of you!"
Is how I am because of the abuse I went through as a kid. 💔
One of the abusers was my biological father. I'm 28 years old now and it took me 18 years to trust someone else enough to call them "Dad" and that's how long I've known the man that I now call Dad.

[Miss__Cowgirly]

“He’ll get judged soon enough.”
Damn that hurt. 😭

[michaelbull]

Bradford s dad his a hypocrite cause all Eric memories of him is him being an alcoholic and abusive in many ways and Tim never forgot any of it.

[gunnersubbu]

There's an earlier episode where Lucy blames a civilian for misplacing his kid (there were two children wearing the same costume at a party and he picked up the wrong kid by mistake) and Tim defends the guy, saying 'There's plenty worse than him.' Great foreshadowing for this arc.

Rapid blinking during the hug...he was crying....saw some rapid blinking during the burial scene(2×11) lucy allows him to be vulnerable
