  There is no easy way to articulate what it feels like to realize that someone you once trusted, someone who sat in your home, who shared meals with you, was secretly behind the very horror you were trying to escape.

• 0:16Speaker 01

  I'm Andrea Gunning. On this season of Betrayal, we meet Carl Bryan. Carl thought he was living a normal, drama-free life, until the messages started.

• 0:28Speaker 02

  You broke me. You do not deserve happiness. You will have hell to pay.

• 0:34Speaker 00

  Cyber stalking, emotional abuse, swatting, extortion, impersonation.

• 0:41Speaker 01

  This was a shocking case of harassment, revealed in an even more shocking, secret confession tape.

• 0:47Speaker 03

  This is very calculated, very sick. When I have jealousy, I'm kind of sociopathic about it. If it was legal to paralyze him from the waist down, I would do it.

• 1:00Speaker 01

  Someone was after Carl.

• 1:02Speaker 04

  You have someone who had intimate knowledge of someone's life and used it against them.

• 1:09Speaker 01

  For nine months, someone infiltrated every aspect of Carl's life, threatening to ruin him.

• 1:18Speaker 02

  Do you ever worry about your reputation?

• 1:20Speaker 00

  It was extortion, threatening the release of private photos.

• 1:24Speaker 01

  And then the text threats escalated.

• 1:27Speaker 02

  Someone's not gonna make it out of this alive. Defense Department!

• 1:32Speaker 00

  It's playing out in real life, and not just on the phone.

• 1:36Speaker 05

  He said someone there had a knife.

• 1:39Speaker 01

  Carl's stalker suggested he was willing to take it all farther.

• 1:43Speaker 05

  He was asking me, like, if I wanted you to tell somebody, how much would you charge?

• 1:48Speaker 01

  Every piece of evidence pointed to one man.

• 1:51Speaker 02

  I thought I was losing my fucking mind. What if I did do it and I just don't remember?

• 1:55Speaker 01

  But every piece of evidence was a lie.

• 1:58Speaker 04

  I have never seen anything like this before.

• 2:01Speaker 06

  The obsession became insane.

• 2:04Speaker 01

  The question everyone was asking.

• 2:06Speaker 06

  Why would anybody do that?

• 2:08Speaker 00

  He wanted me to crawl to him. I am scared out of my mind.

• 2:14Speaker 04

  He was not going to stop unless we stopped him.

• 2:20Speaker 01

  If you ask us, nicotine pouches have always been a little tame. But now, there's a nicotine pouch for guys who have eaten meat that didn't come from the store. Grisly nicotine pouches come in four flavors, four-milligram strength, and are made for guys like us. You go, super patriotic American bald eagle. Grisly nicotine pouches. Nicotine pouches, but grislier.
