YOU'RE GONNA FINISH LAW SCHOOL, AMANDA.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE LISTENING TO ME?

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'M IGNORED, DAD.

♪♪♪♪

AMANDA.

AMANDA.

SHE'S SERIOUS.

YOU DID THIS.

DAVID, WOULD YOU GIVE US A MOMENT, PLEASE?

THANKS, DAVID.

♪♪♪♪

[ SIGHS ]

THIS IS HER IDEA.

BUT SHE'S ‐‐ SHE'S EASILY PERSUADED.

SUCH A WEAK LITTLE THING.

I WONDER WHAT SHE WOULD DO IF ‐‐

MY DAUGHTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF IT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

FINALLY SOME PASSION, JIM.

THAT'S IT.

I KNEW IF I WAITED LONG ENOUGH, I'D FIND YOUR ACHILLES.

THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME.

THAT'S ALL.

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET ME MY MONEY?

THERE IS NO MONEY, CANDACE!

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

YOUR BLACKMAIL IS NOT GOING TO WORK WITH ME.

AND SO HELP ME, IF YOU SO MUCH AS MENTION A WORD OF THIS

TO MY DAUGHTER, YOU WILL REGRET IT

FOR THE REST OF YOUR VERY SHORT LIFE.

[ CHUCKLES ] I WON'T HAVE TO.

SHE WILL READ IT IN THE PAPERS.

FINAL WARNING.

NO.

SEE, THIS IS YOURS.

DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY CHESS?

I LOVE TO PLAY CHESS, AND I'M VERY GOOD AT IT.

OKAY.

MY MOVE.

NEXT WEEK ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...

RUMOR HAS IT THAT YOU'RE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.

IS THAT TRUE?

DON'T YOU WANT TO BE THE FIRST LADY OF OUR GREAT STATE?

WHEN SOMEONE RUNS FOR OFFICE, ALL THEIR DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS

COME RELUCTANTLY OUT OF THE CLOSET.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO GOD THIS HOUSE IS PAID FOR.

I MEAN IT. IF I HADN'T PUT YOUR NAME ON IT

BEFORE I WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL,

I'M SURE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN COMING AFTER IT.

I'M GONNA GET THE MONEY.

[ SCOFFS ] CANDACE, THE BANK CALLED ME YESTERDAY.

THEY SAID YOU HADN'T PAID THIS MORTGAGE IN FIVE MONTHS.

MAMA COULD LOSE THIS HOUSE.

JEFFREY, WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE WEARING?

OH, IT'S... IT'S A BRACELET.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

I GAVE IT TO HIM.

I WANT $100,000 IN CASH TODAY,

OR I'M GIVING AN INTERVIEW TO ROSE ON THE 5:00 NEWS,

AND HIS HOPES OF BEING GOVERNOR ARE OUT THE WINDOW.
