scott: mm-hmm. and so, if i take the accounts payable and the bank loans, i'm pretty close to a million dollars. scott: $900,000-something, yeah. lemonis: we're drowning in debt right now. wendy: my kids and i, we all agree as a family he needs help. this might be it. lemonis: are the kids here now? wendy: jackie? lemonis: business like this has to constantly evolve. and so, what we're talking about is kind of the number of issues that exist inside the business. jackie: i mean, just based off of our conversations at every dinner table, we're wearing too many hats, and we're involved in so many things. and i think that that's gonna, like, run us ragged after a while. lemonis: does he give you the opportunity to do your job fully? jackie: no. ben: that's the thing that bothers me the most. lemonis: 25 years ago, scott came in, and he saved this company. now scott needs to let his kids do for him what he did for his father. if it's okay with you guys, i'd like to spend a minute with your parents just a

scott: yeah. -lemonis: okay. -scott: awesome. options are important for people that doesn't throw a wrench in the process? -matt: it's definitely paint. -scott: i have ideas about that. i think you go one flat finish, but it's a natural satin stain, 'cause then you're eliminating the cost of the laminate, you're eliminating an extra step when you're doing the baring edges. pat: what about, like, formica? scott: formica's cool. but then again, what is it? 100 bucks a sheet? one sheet covers one kit. your labor, the contact cement, the labor spinning it, drying it, doing the seam, doing the outside edge, filing the outside edge. i think natural's the way to go. what's the size of the bass drum gonna be? chris: it's a 20-inch bass drum. scott: 20-inch? if you offer a 20 and a 22, you have almost the same shipping costs, 'cause you're still getting one box, but then we're able to get another shell in there. [ drum pounding ] lemonis: scott's knowledge of innovation and creativity is second to none. and, quite frankly, i think that's

scott: not yet. lemonis: okay, so that -- that's -- my issue isn't putting money to chase the business. my issue is putting money in and not knowing what scott's gonna do with it. scott: i know you about want to shoot me right now. lemonis: [ chuckling ] i do kind of want to shoot you. i do, because i feel like it just never ends. you see, when i look at the $85,000, the question is should it go into a new machine for orders that don't exist, or should it go into new inventory, where i know i have a guaranteed return? scott's not willing to take the time to do the analysis. that's my issue. i think the concern that i have, scott -- and, you know, we've talked about this -- is that our original deal was for me to put $630,000 in the business. i'm now well over 1 million bucks. and every time that phone call comes, right, it's, "we got to get an order out. this is burning down. that's burning down." but i'm not sure where the end of the hole is. and so how much money do you think you need right now to

scott: all right, doug. days after visiting baltimore attorney general loretta lynch announced the justice department will investigate the city's police department. maryland bureau chief brad bell is live to explain what that investigation may involve. brad? brad: scott, going to involve everything. the d.o.j. was already investigating the specifics of freddie gray's death while in police custody. now they will look at the patterns and the practices of the police department across the city and whether or not what people claim in this town is true, that police are overly brutal. baltimore's riot happened on the first day on the job for attorney general loretta lynch now. a full pattern and practice in the investigation of the baltimore police department is her first major move as the nation's top law enforcement officer. loretta: rather than examining whether the police department violated good policy we will examine whether they violated the constitution and the community's civil rights. brad: the investigat

scott? scott: what about the reports regarding other suspecteds at this point? what do you know on that? jennifer: you know at this point, they are focusing on daron dylan wint. i understand people they arrested here on rhode island again we were first on the scene. a lot of activity. the people we took in custody, video of one of them the brother in custody. we assume they have not been charged yet. speaking with the capitol area regional fugitive task force, a huge credit goes out to them. this was a tense 48-hour search. no sleep for the men and women of the team. a massive undertaking between a number of agencies. i spoke with the commander last night. we were the first station in town to speak with him live. when we broke into programming when the capture was made. i revisited with him this morning and i talked about the near miss where they almost arrested wint in new york. here is what he had to say. >> once he was identified as a suspect, we were concerned he would try to flee the country or feel like he had noth to lose. jennifer: we will have more for

scott: the future of a d.c.ice officer is now in question after abc7 found her appearing to be asleep in an important assignment. alison: our "7 on your side" investigator chris papst joins us now with what he found. chris? chris: for a police officer in d.c. there is possibly no greater assignment than that of protecting the president of the united states. we found an officer who didn't take that job or at least didn't find it very exciting. this is a couple of weeks ago we weather on the parkway and noticed a large police presence. we noticed one officer on the post was inside the car and it looked like she was asleep. the engine was on. so were the blue lights on the roof. we got video and gave it a few minutes to see if she was sleeping. she didn't move. her eyes never opened. we knocked on the window and woke her up and asked her some questions. excuse me. are you on duty? are you on duty right now? coming up at 11:00 we will show you the rest of the impromptu video and tell you why the internal investigati

scott: already. in fact, a new study by the pest control company orkin puts our region third on the list of cities with the most mosquitoes in the u.s. consumer investigator kimberly suiters is live in northwest d.c. and she will look at the debate whether to spray or to keep them away. what do you do? what is the word? >> spraying can be very expensive. this homeowner spent $1000 to protect the yard between now and the fall. he says if he hadn't he would not be able to sit down and enjoy his backyard for all the mosquitoes. and the calls pour in. the owner says each spring more customers are asking for natural spray like in garlic based product. it will knock down the mosquito if it hits it with the sulfur in the garlic but it is only a repellent after that. kimberly: entomologists question the effectiveness of spraying your yard at all. >> 30 feet back further in the woods in rock creek park we will be breeding hundreds or thousands of mosquitoes to reinvade your land. >> ralph recommends mosquito-

scott? scott: president obama and the first lady also expressing condolences to the victims of the derailment. president obama's statement reads in part -- "philadelphia is known of the city of brotherly love. neighborhood and neighbors. the spirit of loving kindness was reaffirmed as hundreds of first responders and passengers lend a hand to fellow human beings in need." vice president and his wife jill biden released a statement saying they were praying for the victims and also noted amtrak is like a second family for him. because for his entire career he made the trip from wilmington, delaware to washington, d.c. and back on that train. stay with abc7 and wjla.com as we follow this tragedy on the tracks. as we mentioned, ntsb is scheduled to hold a news conference at 5:00. we will bring that to you as soon as it begins. alison: in other news this afternoon, attorneys in baltimore now laying out a defense plan for sergeant alicia white. she is one of the six officers facing involuntary man

scott? scott: leon, in fact out of pure coincidence amtrak funding was up for debate today on capitol hill. democrats were pushing to boost the budget by more than $1 billion. but lost that battle or the initial one to republicans who say there are cuts that need to be made. many on the defensive tonight saying don't blame us. >> they suggest because we had not funded this properly that is what caused the accident. when you have no idea. no idea. scott: regardless of what triggered the terrible train crash, a fight to prevent another one. as almost is the case it comes down to cash. >> we are spending money all over the world for other people's safety. and neglecting the safety of other citizens. >> jim hall tells me it will take trillions not millions to get the nation entire transportation infrastructure to a safe standard. the blame he said is widespread. >> we haven't had a leaders in washington, d.c. with vision on the subject of infrastructure for our nation since probablyeisenhower. s

scott: oh, my god, what's lost? as i posted on this book today i know my grandmother because of emancipation. i knew her because of emancipation. no one will ever talk me out of the existence of emancipation. you cannot talk me out of it. i know what chattel slavery was. therefore, i know what emancipation meant. i go the distance with it when i tell you that segregation did not destroy families. slavery -- chattel slavery -- did, ok? convict lease did not destroy my family. it might have killed me, but it did not destroy my family, and i really mean it that way. the number of people who got into convict lease was such that you stood a high probability of not getting out of convict lease system alive. the only reason it is not that important for this purpose i'm making is it is just not the numbers. the 9 million african-americans -- most of them in the south -- only a dozen thousand or so at one time. the point i'm making is that it's not a big enough institution to destroy families, ok? even if it is true, even if

scott: all right. we'll head back to baltimore shortly. in the meantime, switching gears, the man who planted bottle bombs in local theaters learned his sentence today. alison: as jeanette reyes explains the legal troubles are not over for manuel bell. jeanette: the man who terrified moviegoers with a series of detonated bottle bombs will be behind bars for 18 years. he remained stoic during this morning's sentencing as one prosecutor accused him of carefully planning the bottle bombings saying that joiner bell picked theaters filled can capacity, some up to 400 people inside. he read text messages making fun of the moviegoers running out and yelling that shots were fired and a bomb went off. he told his friend he was going to be a legend. he pleaded guilty to possession of a destructive device and six counts of second degree assault, reckless endangerment and conspiracy to use a deconstructive device, all of that in prince george's county. as part of his plea he agreed to plead guilty to two counts in

[laughter] daryl scott] dr. scott: i would ask who are southerners, and five people would raise their hand. and some of those would be black people. there was just no shortage of southerners when you ask that question. they are everywhere. and they are self identified. and even the black ones in the room will say they are southerners. even though some of the white southerners will say they are not. ok? and so we have a sense of memory that is running along the line of who got whipped very bad. and i just have to put it like that. it really gets back to the statement of southerners will relive this event, ok and it's not even over for a lot of them. but i can be exaggerated, too. mr. appelbaum: we often hear that the history is written by the victors but the historical memory of the civil war is largely continuing to live with the southerners who lived with the legacy, who did not move on to other conflicts, other issues, but continue to have their lives shaped by the legacy and the fallout of the civil war. turn

scott, the f.b.i. had reopened an investigation into simpson in march but he was not being watched around the clock. >> pelley: jeff pegues in the washington newsroom tonight, jeff, thank you. today, a federal appeals court said that a controversial government surveillance program is illegal. it is the formerly top secret program that gathers massive amounts of data on phone calls. not the conversations themselves, but the information on who's calling whom. jan crawford is our chief legal correspondent and joins us tonight. jan, what does this decision mean? >> reporter: well, i mean, as a legal matter, i think it's largely symbolic. the appeals court said the telephone data collections program was not authorized by congress under the patriot act but that law is going to expire in three weeks anyway. i mean, the court did not decide the bigger questions of whether the program violated the fourth amendment, and it said it could continue for the next few weeks. so what this decision does is put the respo

dred scott." i came to the conclusion that the scott family was unbelievably unlucky. it is not just one instance. it is the fact that if they had been able to go to trial the very first time, they would have been deemed freed because all the other cases that year were deemed free, but their lawyer had just left town. so just before trial, they were assigned a lawyer who did not know what he was doing and messed up. that was the first time they went to trial. then they were delayed by a fire that burned out 16 square blocks of the town, and cholera. nobody could be called for jury because nobody would show up. people were dying in the largest epidemic that st. louis had ever had, so for a full year, there were no courts, there were no trials. during the course of this long 11-year trial, the nature of missouri changed. three new judges took the bench in missouri, and it is only a three-judge bench, so that is everybody. and those three judges decided against the notion of freedom by residents. the first game changer. now, dred was an aged slave with tuberculosis and pr

scott: to a developing story back here in d.c. mayor muriel bowser spoke in the last hour about this morning's garage collapse at the watergate hotel complex. d.c. bureau chief sam ford has been on the scene all day long and joins us now with the latest. sam? sam: scott, this happened just after 10:00 this morning and mayor bowser as you said, who just left here a few minutes ago said that what happened was a hole 75 x 100 feet opened up as a section of the garage collapsed while workers were down there working on the garage. she said rescue dogs have determined that no one is alive in that rubble. but there's the issue of the cadaver dog. >> a cadaver dog was also sent into the scene. and that dog made a possible hit on one of the three levels. the operation has now transitioned from search and rescue to a recovery operation. sam: so this has been going on all day and shook up a lot of people here at the watergate. the scene was a sea of construction workers and emergency workers after something caused the top level of a parking
