This is about you buying peace for your family and yourself.

Previously on The Haves and The Have Nots. 75 grand? 75 grand, just as

requested. Veronica Harrington. Well, she's in default on a very large loan.

Mrs. Cryer authorizes it at the bank, and we need to be sure that it gets

Well, you haven't paid the mortgage.

I decided not to. Because you'll pay.

What is it, bitch? You broke?

Mitch has stolen from that family, and Mitch is cut off. Which means no more

protection for Candace, Benny, or Hannah.

Hey. Hey.

May I speak with Candace?

Yeah, well, she ain't talking to nobody right now, so... Benny, it's fine.

You sure?

Yeah, I got it.

What do you want?

Benny.

What?

Go.

You sure?

What did I say?

That'd be all.

No.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

Why do you have a reporter talking to my mother?

What do you mean?

Landon, don't play with me.

I didn't. I know it's you.

I didn't.

Okay, you trying to run bullshit now?

No, I'm not.

I just want... So you think you're going to force me to talk to him? No.

I already told you I'm not talking to him. Candace.

He came in last night, okay, with this whole covert operation just to get him

here to see you.

Please, just talk to him. No.

What, is that supposed to make me feel special?

Let me talk.

I was wrong.

And I'm so sorry.

Well, Hendon's just doing what I asked him to do.

Okay.

I wish I could take everything back.

Well, you can't.

Where are you going?

Candace, come on.

Let her go.

Sir, you put in a lot of effort to get down here to see her. Let her go. She

can't just walk away. Let her go.

I'm sorry.

She doesn't want to talk to me yet.

I can see that.

It's not a bad thing.

Why is that?

I mean, she still cares.

I don't follow.

What do you... If she's yelling and screaming, it means she still has

for me.

Okay. If she's quiet and doesn't want to see me, it means she's processing how

she feels.

You know her well.

I've learned her over time.

So, what do we do now?

Let's get back to Detroit.

Finish packing and get to D .C.

Okay.

Come on.

Your hat.

Yeah.

The Secret Service has the service elevator waiting.

Okay. Pull your hat lower, sir.

Oh, yeah.

Is that good?

There you go.

Thank you.

Sir, I'm really sorry you came all the way down here for nothing.

It wasn't nothing.

We just have to keep wearing her down.

I understand.

It's okay.

Yes, sir.

Hello? Hello.

Welcome in.

I called you over here.

So, how are you?

I'm pissed.

Why's that?

I'm behind on my loan.

I'm sorry.

My facilities aren't doing well.

Look, I wish there was something I could do to help.

There is.

What's that?

You can pay it.

Listen, I do not have the means.

Oh, come on.

You've done it before.

Veronica, I can't... Convince Catherine to pay it.

Veronica.

I'll get it taken care of next month. I'm selling a building.

I can't help if I want it. Don, you've played with her money for me for years.

This time is different.

What's different about it? Didn't I always pay it back?

And she was none the wiser.

Look, this is an entirely different situation.

How?

Talk. I can't this time.

You can and you will.

Veronica.

You know what I have on you.

Listen, I am not in charge on this one and I can't move a dime, okay?

Well, who's in charge?

Don't tell me that dumb bitch put Jim in charge of her fortune.

No.

Okay, then who?

Hannah Young.

What?

Yes.

Hannah Young?

Yes.

The maid?

Yes.

Is the executor?

Yes.

That girl can't even spell executor. Well, she can, and I'll tell you what.

What? It turns out she is asking all the right questions.

What?

Yes.

Hannah Young.

Yes.

The maid Hannah Young.

Yes, and it turns out she's a lot more savvy than we thought.

The maid, Hannah Young?

Yes.

You have got to be kidding me.

Perhaps you can ask her.

I'd shoot myself before I did that.

There's nothing I can do. Then why am I looking at you?

I'm sorry.

Bye. Really.

Wait.

Come back here.

She made Hannah Young the maid, the executor.

Yeah.

She's lost her damn mind.

Does Hannah know?

That she's the executor?

No, about the loan.

Yes, she does.

Where is the original agreement?

I'm sure Catherine probably has it at her house.

Can you get it?

I wouldn't even know where she keeps it.

She usually keeps everything in the bedroom.

I can't.

Never mind, I'll get it.

Okay. Okay, bye.

Goodbye.

What kind of psychotic bitch makes a maid the executor of their estate?

I knew she was on that shit.

Dale must be getting to her.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Nice place, too, with some of my price range. I know. I'm sorry. I've been

dragging you all over town.

It's okay.

I should have been better prepared.

It's all good.

Can you just give me one more chance, and I promise I will find you something

you like.

Okay.

Great.

Thank you.

It's good to see you smile.

Excuse me?

Well, I mean you smile, but that was a real one.

I don't think I know what you mean.

Oh, come on. You know how people do that fake smile?

You know?

Cheesy smile.

It was real, though.

Thank you.

Well, today it was.

Okay, thanks.

I think.

Man,

it was a nice place.

I'm sorry that I couldn't.

It's all good.

So if there's anything else I can answer for you, let me know.

Oh, I wasn't going to say nothing. Now that you mention it, I would like... Are

you on?

Yeah.

Is this a question about a house?

Oh, of course. What else would it be about?

Okay.

Great. No, what else would it be about?

I just like to keep it professional.

As do I.

Okay. All right. So stop flirting with me then. Excuse me?

You know damn well you've been flirting. I have not.

Okay.

Look, I am about the job. Okay.

I really am. Fine. I am. Great.

All right, I'll call you later.

Who's this?

That's my mother.

Oh.

Yeah, you look like her.

Yeah, we did used to look a lot alike.

You did?

She passed away three years ago.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah.

Really turned my world upside down.

We were pretty close.

I'm sorry.

I'm dealing with it.

Is that why you were crying?

No.

Allergies, remember?

Yeah,

if you say so.

I do.

What happened to her?

Um, she was involved in a car accident.

It's crazy, you know.

One day we were arguing about me and my ex.

And the next minute she was gone and I didn't even get a chance to say I'm

sorry.

God, I didn't get a chance to tell her that she was right.

So right about him.

Wish I had listened to her.

Wow.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

It's okay.

Anyway, I should get back to work.

Yeah, yeah.

Do your thing.

Okay.

I'll call you.

Okay. Thanks.

Thanks.

Really, I'm sorry about your mother.

Again, strong and sensitive type.

Talk to you soon.

Hey. Hi.

How was your day?

I missed you.

Really?

Yeah, really. I was thinking about you.

What were you thinking?

Well, I was thinking that we should go out to dinner.

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

It's a good thing.

How's that?

I mean, I feel like I don't... I just, I want to get to know you.

You're here all the time. We sleep in my bed.

Thank you. Not getting to know you.

Oh, okay.

Where's Colby?

He's not here. What did that bitch say?

What do you mean? He said something to get you looking at me sideways.

What are you talking about?

What is this?

Well, I mean, I don't think we ever talked about that look that was on my

face.

We never talked about how you were feeling, and I don't know anything about

parents.

Oh, okay. I see. We're starting at the door.

Mm -hmm.

Come on.

Okay. It'll be fine.

Okay. And then you're going to tell me what he said afterwards?

He didn't say anything.

Yes, he did.

Can you just go get showered, all right? And then we'll go to the movies and

then to dinner.

Sounds like a plan.

Okay. All right.

What? What?

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

Oh, I can't look at you? What is going on?

You're up to something.

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Can you just go get showered, please?

There's room for two.

Oh, wait.

Really? Yes.

We're going to miss the movie. Is that so bad?

Shower. Fine.

Where is Colby anyway?

He ran out of here when his phone started going off. Oh. And where does he

Is he on like some, like a dating app or something?

You're going to have to ask him.

Madison?

Just ask him.

I'm asking you.

It's not my place to say.

He's an escort.

It's not my place to say.

I have to go shower.

Okay. Makes sense. No judgments.

None.

Hello. Ma.

What do you want?

Don't hang up.

What? I want you to know I love you and I miss you.

Okay.

Don't be like that.

You know you love me, too.

I do.

All right, so let's stop this. We talk every day.

And you know what, Benny? I'm trying to get used to not talking to you every

day. Why?

Because that man is going to come for you, Benjamin.

Look, I didn't call to talk about him.

Okay, then what'd you call for?

To clear your conscience.

No, to let you know I love you.

How much do you love me, Benjamin?

You ain't got to ask me that.

No, I am asking.

Do you love me more than a million dollars, Benny?

What?

I'm asking.

Yes, I do.

Then give the money back.

I'm not doing that.

Then we don't have anything else to talk about.

So you really just want to treat me like this?

Like what?

Like you're a thief?

Mama. Benjamin.

You let your sister talk you into just... Look, I talked her into keeping

Okay.

She wants you to think that, yeah.

Mommy. Benjamin.

The girl's been doing this longer than you. She's slick.

So what, I'm stupid?

No, baby, you're not stupid, but you do have slow tendencies.

Did you really just say that?

Yeah, I did. I mean it.

Why am I getting off the phone now?

Well, you do that.

I can't believe you just called me slow.

Well, I didn't call you slow. I said you had slow tendencies.

And I meant it.

Wow. And there's one more thing you need to know, Benjamin.

Yeah, go ahead. Get it all off your chest.

You keep letting your sister lead you, you're going to end up somewhere bad.

Okay.

So now can I get back to what I was doing, please?

Yeah, and you're going to regret talking to me like this.

And you're going to regret it a million ways.

All right, well, listen, I'm looking at some houses.

So if you want to come and stay, me and my slow self will be waiting.

Wait until hell freezes over.

Okay, baby, bye.

Mama, like...

Yeah?

You really didn't have anything to do with the money being gone.

I told you that.

Yeah.

I know.

And now your son is all around town spending my money. Why don't you just

go? No, no, no. I just want to know.

I need clarification.

Jim.

I can't let it go, Hannah.

We're talking about $8 million here.

Well, that is something you need to talk to my daughter about.

Talk?

That's all you're going to do.

No, I might do a little more than talk, Hannah.

Watch the threads.

You need to know a little something about how this whole underworld...

thing works. You know the Malones.

Yeah, I know the Malones, but I don't even know none of them. No, no, no. You

do. Listen to me.

Let's say I do a favor for the Malones.

I do something for them. They do something for me.

Well, Candace, your daughter, did a favor for the Malones. And now,

they have her back.

However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Mitch lied

to you.

about protecting your children.

And once I can verify that, it's going to get very interesting around here.

Jim?

So? Yeah, it's really great that I know you had nothing to do with it. It's

great that I heard that.

Okay, Jim.

David was right about you. Hell, Catherine was right about you. They

Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. This is good.

I promise.

This is good.

They say you're a good person, Hannah.

You're a rare bird.

And David, he really likes you.

And he's a good man.

Make no mistake.

David Harrington is a good man.

In spite of his friends.

But you, you are a rare bird because you are a good person.

And a whole sea of shitty people.

And you're the one that always tries to do the right thing.

Yes, I am.

And yes, I do.

Is it hard to do that, Hannah?

No, it's not.

Really?

You should try it.

No, I'm sorry. I've had too many dances with the devil to change partners now.

Well,

you go ahead and you do that.

You're not going to try to convert me?

No.

You're not going to sit here and tell me that Jesus can save my soul?

He can.

He can make me whole?

He can.

And he can forgive me?

That he can do, too.

Even me?

Yes, even you.

I'm sorry, Hannah. That just doesn't seem fair.

How is that?

I've done a lot of bad things.

I've hurt a lot of people.

Yeah, that you have.

But if all someone like me has to do is repent, that

just doesn't seem fair.

You know what, Jim?

What?

I never shed blood for anybody but my kids.

So I don't judge it.

Okay.

But I know how much I love them.

It's tight, but it's right.

Well, praise Jesus.

Yes, praise him.

And you keep on playing with them. I'm not playing, Hannah.

Just one of these days, the angel and the devil are going to have to have a

showdown.

Are you talking about my daughter?

No.

I'm talking about you.

I want to see what you got.

Okay, Jim.

Hmm.

You don't want it.

You. What is it? What's up?

What did you do?

What are you talking about?

Uncle Vinny's been asking a lot of questions.

As always.

I'm not supposed to say anything.

What's he asking questions about?

Just questions.

All right, well, you want to tell me what you're talking about? If you did

something, you better tell me.

I didn't do nothing.

What are you talking about?

I don't know. He was asking a lot of questions about you and the black kid.

Well, why?

I don't know.

Where is he?

What? He's not here.

All right.

I'll call him.

First of all, I'm not supposed to be talking to you. And second of all, he's

going to answer.

Too busy banging his trailer park holes, huh? I'm telling you, Mitch, he's mad

about something.

Look, I ain't doing nothing, so ain't nothing to talk about.

Okay.

What are you doing? Just sit around here on your lazy ass?

I'm watching the bar.

Watching the bar?

Watching what?

Ain't nobody in here. Your business sucks.

Yeah, I know. I'm just... What is this? What the hell are you looking at? What?

What? What is it? You watching porn? No, I'm not.

Watching porn? Then what the hell is that?

Sex tape.

Your skinny ass made a sex tape? I didn't make a sex tape.

Rihanna did.

Wait, wait, wait, hold up.

Did you record that without her knowing?

She's my girl.

No, Sandy, she's not your girl no more. You can't do that.

She'll always be my girl.

You got problems. Okay, whatever.

Stop looking at it. You're weird. I'm not looking. I'm not trying to look at

this, okay? It's creepy. Yeah, no, you're creepy.

You know what? You better get your shit straight before Uncle Vinny comes

talking to you. Look, I didn't do nothing, all right?

So ain't nothing to talk about.

All right?

All right, Mitch.

All right.

Clean this shit up.

Hey, don't tell him I said anything.

I'm going to end up back in the basement.

Yo. Where you at?

At the hotel.

All right.

What's up?

Has my uncle reached out to you?

No. Anybody from my family?

No.

All right.

What's going on?

I don't know, man. Sandy's acting weird.

About what?

I don't know.

All right. What do you think it is?

I don't know, man. He said I did something, but I got no idea.

All right, so what'd you do?

I covered for you.

Was he mad about that?

No, I don't think so.

All right, well, then what is it?

I don't know, man.

I know my family, so I can't be asking too many questions. You know, I guess

I'll find out what I'm supposed to, you know?

You don't have any idea what it is?

No.

But I don't know. I think I need to pay somebody a visit.

Who?

Your buddy, Cryer.

Why?

Give myself a little insurance, you know?

Okay.

All right, I'll hit you back. I'll let you know.

Hey. So,

what happened?

What do you mean?

Well, I was worried about you.

I'm fine.

And you disappeared.

I went for a walk.

All right, so what did he say?

I didn't let him talk.

He came all the way down here from D .C.?

Detroit. He's not in the White House.

Yet.

Where his body goes?

They wanted to do this on the low.

I'm sure they were everywhere.

Damn. Yeah.

His dirty little secret.

No, you're not.

That's the way they want me to feel.

I don't know if I agree with that.

It is.

No.

He wouldn't come all the way down here if you were some dirty little secret.

Penny, you don't get it.

I know when a dude's in love.

How do you know when they're cool?

No, seriously.

Trust me, I know he's feeling you.

I don't want to talk about him.

You don't have to.

I'm not.

It ain't going to stop him from coming at you.

I know.

He's like you.

What?

He's a hunter.

So are you.

Benny.

I don't know. I kind of like the sound of my sister in the warehouse, though.

I do not.

You can tell that to someone else.

I don't.

You like power.

There ain't no more power than that.

I don't need that kind of power.

You got millions on your own.

You know? You don't even need them.

Exactly. That's what makes it so much easier, though. Right?

What?

I'm saying you don't need them. Right? So if it doesn't work out, just take

money and leave.

I'm getting out of this town and starting over.

Yeah. Okay. As soon as you feel like it's cool to leave. Yeah.

And he's going to have a hell of a time trying to find me.

You sure about that?

I am.

Okay.

We need to check out of this hotel.

Now you want to leave.

Going to a low -rent place wasn't such a bad idea.

Why?

They won't look for me there.

Don't count on it.

I know.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello?

You all right?

About what?

About my brother in the car. The guys.

I told you.

No.

I'm sorry.

For?

Your son.

I don't have a son.

Is it Jeffrey?

Jeffrey's a little bitch who let your brother hit me.

He did?

Yeah.

Where do you think he got those bruises?

You did that to him?

No.

But I got someone to do it.

I wouldn't mess up my nails for any little bitch like that.

I don't know what happened to him.

I don't either, and I don't care.

Okay. Well, what do you want to do?

First, you call Colby Jones -Willis.

Done.

Okay, and then you get him over here.

I'll be here tomorrow.

Great.

Okay, great. We'll be ready.

So will I.

Then thank you.

For what?

I owe you.

No, I owe you.

You're former military, right?

Yeah.

You dealt in explosives?

Yeah.

I actually just lost a guy.

What happened?

He went down on a federal crime.

He was an idiot.

I think so.

But I also know that you're not.

No, no, I'm not.

What if I wanted to see someone blown up?

I could arrange that.

I would love to start my life over with no ex -husband and no son.

Okay, well, we can make that happen for you.

That's great.

One thing at a time.

Yeah.

I like that thinking.

Let's teach this little bitch a lesson first, okay?

Okay.

I think that you and I are going to make a very good team.

Mr. Tanner?

I agree.

Okay, Melissa.

See you later.

This is nice.

Yeah, it's one of my favorites.

Thank you for bringing me.

Sure.

Why did you bring me?

What do you mean?

I mean, why am I here?

Because I wanted to talk to you.

Not too long ago, you weren't even interested at all.

Well, you saw me naked.

No. That's what... It's okay.

I can admit it. No, I saw you differently.

Okay. No, no, no.

I'm telling you. Seriously.

Okay. All right. We'll go with that.

Okay, look.

You have a beautiful body.

Thank you.

And you're a nice guy.

And I was wondering why I was giving you such a hard time, so I just wanted to

try again.

And I'm really good in bed.

Would you stop?

Your eyes were, like, rolling in the back of your head. It's like...

Yeah, the tower.

What the hell was that thing that you did?

What thing?

That thing.

Trade secret.

Yeah? Mm -hmm.

Okay.

Oh, God, how's your dad?

Oh, um, that's a whole other story.

He couldn't even look at me.

He couldn't look at me either.

I'm sorry.

It's kind of funny to me. No, not for him, I'm sure. He'll get over it.

I mean, he will. He's always been cool, but I just don't ever want to see him

like that again. Well, yeah.

How are your parents?

Oh, is that what we're doing?

What?

Getting to know each other.

Yeah.

Oh, my parents are salt -of -the -earth Republicans.

I love them to death.

But they drive me crazy a little bit.

We just don't really see eye to eye.

Sorry to hear that.

No, it's okay. I mean, they're amazing people.

We just...

They just make me want to scream sometimes.

Loving people?

Absolutely. Oh, okay. Then they're a lot better than mine.

Oh, yeah, no, no. You win that debate.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Uh... Okay.

Justin?

I'm not gonna hurt you, Jeffrey.

Then put down the gun.

Maybe I'll hurt him.

Justin.

Relax. I'm not going to hurt your little voice. Just give me the gun.

You know I lost everything because of you, right?

You know that?

Justin, you lost everything because of yourself.

No, I didn't.

Give me the gun.

So you like him, huh?

Justin.

I asked him a question. Don't be rude. Justin.

Shut up.

Justin. So you like him?

Yes.

And you don't like me, do you?

I don't know you.

I tried to get to know you in the hospital.

can get somebody to talk to you.

Oh, good. Jeffrey, did you hear that? He can get somebody to talk to me. That's

exactly what I needed.

I... Master, just... Just let me... I should leave

now. No.

Leave. What?

Leave. Why did he say no?

Does he want to protect you?

No, he's saying no because he knows it's about you and me. Oh.

Well, I want him to stay.

Come on, Justin.

So you two, uh... Had sex, huh?

No.

Don't lie to me, Jeffrey.

No. Don't lie to me. No, we didn't, all right? How would you just go?

I saw you.

What?

Yeah, I saw you.

Yeah, I was watching you through the binoculars.

Through your window.

Saw your silhouette.

Having sex.

Yeah, yeah, me too.

Why'd you lie to me?

I mean, I just didn't want to get you upset.

What upsets me is this.

You don't like me. You don't like me.

Neither one of you give a damn about me.

That upsets me.

Justin, I told you I wouldn't shoot you.

Okay. All right, then you just put the gun down.

Where the hell are you going?

I just think she called.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Do you smell anything?

Do you smell anything?

Catch me.

It sure as hell isn't. Come on.
