Because his sister mentioned how their father left him in the street with a compass to find his way home, which Lucy said sounded like one of his tests.
@@Droski-Boutta-Bag that's borderline child abuse and parental neglect. Leaving their kid in the middle of the road where they can get attacked or kidnapped by some thug.
@@Droski-Boutta-BagDumping your kid in the middle of the street like that. Pretty sure that classifies as child neglect and endangerment. He's lucky young Tim didn't get abducted.
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
You know the difference with his tests? He never left Lucy by herself to figure it out. He would watch her learn and problem solve his tests from a reasonable distance. Also, it is his job to teach how to be a competent police officer through rigorous tests. That's what makes him better than his father, among other things.
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.
Some abusers call what tims dad did character building, but others call it what it is straight up abuse....I am curious to know what happened to their mom and maybe even why she didnt try to stop it? No im not saying ANYTHING negative about a currently absent character maybe she finally did see what was going on after tim left for military and took genny away from him(the dad) you know made a new life for herself then genny went off to school and got married etc but maybe her and her dad kept in touch unlike tim who according to something said he was born in 1980 and in whatever year it actually is in the rookieverse....he hadnt seen his dad in 20 years so right around the early 2000s meaning he was around his early 20s then so maybe around end of camp (for military)service record unclear for military but in season 2 ep 8 hes been police for 12 years
@@JjJ-rz5tv as someone who went through abuse as a kid, some adults don't care/want to see that another adult is abusive. I informed my maternal grandmother that her boyfriend was abusing me and she didn't do anything or ask someone else to stop it. He threw my sister into a dresser and she still didn't get rid of him. He would beat us with a belt. She saw a lot of the abuse, but never did anything to protect us. Whether trying to intervene herself or asking someone else to. 💔
@@Unversed333it's possible writer do a miracle n Tim's father to survive, realizing all his wrongs, season 6 we could see him , surprise to his family to ask forgiveness by side Lucy's parents too..
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.
I can sadly understand. I saw my biological father mólest my sister for years before another adult finally asked me if he was hurting us and I described in very explicit detail what he was doing. Even though I was a kid, I knew what he was doing was wrong, but I would always forget to try to tell someone what he was doing, until I was finally asked. 💔
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
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."
"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.
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
First or second episode lucys talking to nolan and she says tim is calculating not cruel... the tim tests are the way he teaches his very first tim test that we saw was I BEEN SHOT BOOT where are you? And she learned her lesson...bc the very next DAY she had that very scene play out in front of her season 3×11 she's jealous he's being nice to his new boot and then he explains.....I had to show you the bad bc you see the good....Barnes only sees the bad so I gotta show her there is good
@@lisarice4402 There are a lot of people who grow up into less-adjusted adults because of the physical and emotional abuse they experience from a parental figure.
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.
Tim also mentioned his scars (the ones that we don't see) is growing up with a dad who tuned him up on the regular. They were planning on Tim's dad being an abusive parent since season 2.
I feel like all the characters are relatable. It's what makes the show so investing. I personally relate with Nolan. Had a father that wasn't there and raised by my mother, who I have become somewhat estranged with in my adult life.
2:27 Even though the Tim Tests don’t mean he’s his father, he should definitely understand the slippery slope and how Chen only responded to them because of her own unique parental situation.
I have a feeling season 1 bradford was headed down the same/similar path as his father, with all the anger/pain isabel caused him, then when she actually got clean and they divorced he changed to the beloved character he is now with lucys help of course😊
Thanks for uploading this scene. It is up to you I could discover a mistake in translation I always wondered about. In this original Tim says "goodbye" to his father - he doesn't want to see him anymore. But in the German translation he says "Auf Wiedersehen" , - what doesn't fit to the situation and to Tims whish "I hope it hurts" Seems to be a KI translation 😂
In war, the first thing lost... is time. The hours become days, the days tuirn into years and before you know it, one has spent their entire life at war... At war with themselves. At war with their fathers because they rejected their fathers way of doing things.
“No, I am who I am in spite of you.” This gives the same energy as Morgan’s moment in Criminal Minds. “No I did that. I pulled myself outta the gutter. All the way to the FBI. I did that.”
I only know this show through YT shorts, but I know Tim's father actor. He is Dexter's father and that's the only one I see when I look at him, so this little father-son talk... I don't know it was kind of weird and nice at the same time
I honestly think Tim’s father is the lesser of two abusive evils here, all things considered, but it still doesn’t make anything he did in the past right.
In terms of the murder? Not really. He let a woman get away with murder instead of calling the cops on her and letting them handle the situation. Now his mistress is going to serve more time than she would have when it first happened.
Why are they always so nice? I would have said a few more things of which I know they will hurt him so that he can taste a bit of his own medicine. I am not saying that this is the right way but in this situation I couldn't help myself
Bye dad...I hope it hurts....dude is dying no way around it tim needed to say what he said to gain closure if he went borderline violent with it he would be like his dad...but tim chose the high ground probably bc of his (not yet) girls influence bc he didn't want HER to see him as a monster especially since her comment about the tim tests after she found out the abuse he endured as a kid, the previous shift he needed her to tell him that the tim tests didn't make him like his dad
I did not know the dude who played Tim's father is the same dude who plays *Raiden* in that terrible-ish *Mortal Kombat* movie that came out in 90's and also who plays *Gambi* in the show called *Black Lightning*
I don’t know anything about them as I have never actually watched a whole episode. Every parent wants their kids to grow up strong but using abuse is wrong, there are a lot of ways to make children strong he chose abuse…
I don't know about American history or laws, but in my country, the right to hit or otherwise physically punish your own kids was removed by law in 1997.
I don't think we have that in the US. Hell, they don't even keep child mólesters in prison. My biological father who is one, only served 13 years. He got jumped twice during his sentence, but is out now living a free life. 😡
It is astonishing how quickly Chen passes judgment on other people and their problems. She is arrogant and way too certain of herself. She needs to be taken down several hundred pegs.
What an ungrateful brat of a son. Methods to be punished back that was an ass kickin. It's what society is missing today and why so many people are just POS people today. Lets not act like the kids who parents acted like friends arent ruining society right now
You clearly have NEVER been abused so you can't relate! Don't judge someone if you don't know what it's like to be ABUSED!! I was for years as a kid and it's NOT fun!😡
