PREVIOUSLY ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...

YOUR HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN AFFAIR.

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ Voice breaking ] WOULD YOU PLEASE PRAY WITH ME, JUDGE HARRINGTON?

I'M ASKING YOU RIGHT NOW.

I'M ASKING YOU, LORD GOD.

LORD GOD, PLEASE LET THE TRUTH BE REVEALED.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE HERE AT 53.

YOU'RE IN THE BEST HANDS.

I LOOKED UP THIS DOCTOR WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED.

OH, MAN.

AMANDA?

AMANDA!

HEY.

Katheryn: [ Chuckling ] HI.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU.

ALMOST SURGERY TIME.

YEAH, IT IS.

HOW YOU FEELING?

READY TO GET THIS SURGERY OVER WITH.

DID YOU BRING WHAT I ASKED?

YEP.

WELL, IT'LL BE SOON ENOUGH.

HOW DID IT GO LAST NIGHT WITH THE TEST THEY RAN?

I STILL HAVE CANCER, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

WELL...

STRAIGHTENED UP THE CLOSET WHERE YOU KEEP THIS THING.

GREAT.

NOW I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OKAY.

HERE'S THAT.

THIS IS THE POWER BUTTON. YEAH.

RECORD AND PAUSE.

I THINK THAT'S THE RECORD HERE.

OH. OKAY.

OKAY, MAKE SURE YOU CENTER ME UP.

TRY TO GET MY BEST SIDE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS, BUT...

HOW'S MY WIG?

GOOD. GOTCHA.

OKAY.

YOU READY? YEP.

HI.

I AM KATHERYN CRYER

IN SOUND MIND AND NOT‐SO‐SOUND BODY.

THIS VIDEO IS TO BE BACKUP PROOF THAT I HAVE A WILL ON FILE

AT THE OFFICE OF TIPTON, MEYER, AND FIELDMAN.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

HANNA, PLEASE.

DON'T YOU HAVE LAWYERS FOR THAT?

YES.

I JUST SAID THAT, AND I DON'T TRUST THEM AT ALL.

[ SIGHS ]

JIM HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS WITH ALL OF THEM

AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER

AND IN BEDS WITH THEIR WIVES AT LEAST ONCE.

HANNA, HE CAN MAKE MY WILL DISAPPEAR.

I NEED A SAFETY NET.

I NEED IT IN YOUR POSSESSION.

WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS?

BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST.

PLEASE.

HOLD UP THE CAMERA.

[ CAMERA BEEPS ]

IT'S RECORDING.

MY WILL WAS WRITTEN ON THE 11th OF MAY, 2012.

IT WAS LAST UPDATED ON MARCH 16, 2013.

IN IT ARE MY WISHES FOR MY ESTATE,

MY FUTURE GRANDCHILDREN, AND MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY,

AS WELL AS THE WISHES FOR MY FUNERAL.

I EXPECT IT TO BE CARRIED OUT TO THE LETTER.

IF ANYONE CONTESTS OR FIGHTS,

THEY ARE BE TO REMOVED FROM MY WILL WITHOUT A DIME.

I WANT IT MADE PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT MY HUSBAND, JIM CRYER,

IS NOT TO INHERIT A CENT OF MY MONEY.

AND IF MY WILL IS NOT FOUND UPON MY DEATH,

THEN EVERY DIME I HAVE

IS TO BE GIVEN TO THE CANCER RESEARCH CENTER IN SAVANNAH.

THAT'S IT, HANNA.

TURN IT OFF.

[ CAMERA BEEPS ]

LET ME SEE IT.

[ CAMERA BEEPS ]

...NOT TO INHERIT A CENT OF MY MONEY.

HOLD ON TO THIS.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, GIVE IT TO VERONICA.

I WILL.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT?

WHAT I THINK DOESN'T MATTER.

YES, IT DOES.

I KNOW YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT MY WILL.

WE SHOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE DYING NO TIME SOON.

I KNOW THAT.

THEN WHY DID WE DO THAT?

WEREN'T YOU LISTENING?

INSURANCE.

THIS IS NOT A CHANCE I'M WILLING TO TAKE.

YOU'RE REALLY NOT GONNA LEAVE HIM A THING?

WHY?

SO JIM CAN SPEND IT ALL ON HIS WHORES

AND WYATT CAN SMOKE IT ALL UP

AND AMANDA JUST GIVE IT AWAY TO ANYONE WHO ASKS?

MY FATHER WORKED HIS ENTIRE LIFE FOR THAT MONEY,

AND IT WAS THE STRESS OF HIS COMPANY THAT KILLED HIM.

I AM NOT ABOUT TO JUST GIVE IT AWAY UNLESS IT'S IN SMALL DOSES.

TOO MUCH PRIVILEGE CAN ‐‐ AT ONCE ‐‐

CAN BE A DEBILITATING THING.

WELL, I WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.

BUT YOU'RE NOT DYING.

I REALIZE THAT.

AND I'M NOT GONNA GIVE JIM THE SATISFACTION

OF BEING A WIDOWER.

HE'D BE A CATCH WITH MY MONEY.

WELL, HE'S A JUDGE.

HE HAS HIS OWN MONEY, DOESN'T HE?

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN BEING RICH AND BEING WEALTHY.

I DON'T WANT MY HOUSE SOLD

AND I DON'T WANT HIS WHORES IN THERE.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE THIS?

DON'T WORRY, HANNA.

I INTEND TO OUTLIVE HIM

AND GIVE HIM HELL ALL ALONG THE WAY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT?

I'M JUST SAYING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO ON AND DIE RIGHT NOW

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LIVING FOR.

THAT AIN'T NO KIND OF LIFE.

HONEY, GIVING MEN HELL CAN BE ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS.

SOMETIMES YOUR SIMPLE VIEWS ON LIFE ARE SO APPEALING.

YEAH, THEY'RE NOT VIEWS.

THEY'RE THE TRUTH.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT NOT TO BE HAPPY.

I MEAN, YOU SHOULD JUST GO ON AND DIVORCE HIM.

LET ANOTHER WOMAN WEAR THE CROWN I PUT THE JEWELS IN?

I DON'T THINK SO.

I MEAN, YOU HAD TO HAVE LOVED HIM AT SOME POINT.

I MEAN, I KNOW YOU HAD SEX WITH HIM AT LEAST TWICE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

OH, I DID.

HMM.

WHEN I FIRST MET HIM, HE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH.

KIND OF A BAD BOY.

I THINK THAT'S WHY I WAS ATTRACTED TO HIM.

MY FATHER HATED HIM, OF COURSE,

AND THAT MADE ME ALL THE MORE INTRIGUED.

HE WAS A WANDERER, EVEN BACK THEN,

BUT WHEN HE WAS WITH ME...

HE MADE ME FEEL LIKE

WE WERE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE ON EARTH, YOU KNOW?

SUCH A CHARMER...

AND A SNAKE.

ANYWAY, BEFORE I KNEW IT, I WAS PREGNANT

AND WALKING DOWN THE AISLE BEFORE I COULD SHOW.

TRULY A SHOTGUN WEDDING, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

MY FATHER PUT HIM THROUGH LAW SCHOOL ‐‐

OR RATHER, BOUGHT HIS WAY THROUGH LAW SCHOOL AND THE BAR.

JIM OWES ME.

I WOULDN'T GIVE HIM THE HONOR OF A DIVORCE.

MNH‐MNH.

MM.

DON'T SHAKE YOUR HEAD AT ME, HANNA YOUNG.

I'M JUST SAYING.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU KNOW, USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

THAT KIND OF STUFF DON'T MATTER.

THEY DON'T HOLD ON TO THIS KIND OF STUFF.

I'M NOT MOST PEOPLE.

NOW THAT IS TRUE.

BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT YOUR TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN OUT OF IT.

YEAH, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, AREN'T THEY?

MM‐HMM.

BUT TORTURED SOULS.

HOW SO?

[ SIGHS ]

THE PAST CAN BE A POWERFUL THING.

[ SIGHS ]

LISTEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT ALL THIS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHERE AM I GOING?

I'M ON VACATION.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT TIME IS YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH VERONICA?

NOON.

GOOD.

TELL ME HOW IT GOES. MNH‐MNH.

YOU GOT TOO MUCH TO BE THINKING ABOUT TO DEAL WITH MY ISSUES.

NO, I WANT TO KNOW.

IF WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT YOUR SON IS TRUE, AND I BELIEVE IT IS ‐‐

BENNY'S A GOOD BOY.

MM‐HMM.

YOU NEED TO HELP HIM.

I HELP MY SON, AND HE'S A WOLF.

HOW DID BENNY TURN OUT SO GOOD?

I'D LIKE TO THINK I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

I'M SURE YOU DID.

YEAH, BUT...

MY DAUGHTER LIVED THE SAME LIFE AS HE DID.

YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER MUCH.

MNH‐MNH. NO, I DON'T.

WHY NOT? 'CAUSE SHE'S A HELL HOUND.

OH, MAN.

SO DISAPPOINTED IN HER.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB.

WHAT'D SHE DO? MM.

YOU NAME IT.

[ SIGHS ]

AND SHE'S SO SMART.

BUT SHE USES HER SMARTS TO CON AND TRICK PEOPLE

RATHER THAN PUTTING IT TO GOOD USE.

MM‐HMM.

SHE HATES ME.

MY CHILDREN DON'T LOVE ME, EITHER.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

YOU MAKE LIKE YOU HAVEN'T MET THEM.

YOU SHOULD TELL ONE OF THEM.

NO.

NOT A WORD, AND YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T.

I WON'T.

THANK YOU.

I NEED TO TAKE A NAP NOW.

OKAY.

I'LL COME BACK AND CHECK ON YOU

AFTER MY MEETING WITH MISS VERONICA.

OKAY.

DON'T LET HER BULLY YOU.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

SHE CAN BE TOUGH.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OKAY.

HEY.

YOU WANT TO GO PLAY GOLF TODAY?

NO.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

RESEARCH.

WYATT, STOP WITH THE ESCORT SIGHTS.

I'M LOOKING FOR A PROFILE ON AMANDA.

UH...WHAT? WHY?

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WE FOUND CANDACE ON THIS SITE?

YEAH, BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AMANDA?

SHE'S LIVING WITH HER.

AND?

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT CANDACE HASN'T GOTTEN HER INTO THIS.

COME ON, MAN. WOULD YOU STOP IT?

SHE'S NOT EVEN THAT TYPE OF GIRL.

YOU KNOW MY SISTER, JEFFREY.

LISTEN, CANDACE IS PROBABLY DOING THIS

TO GET HER WAY THROUGH SCHOOL, SO IT'S NONE OF OUR CONCERN.

JUST LEAVE IT.

LOOK, I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER.

I'M LOOKING OUT FOR MY SISTER.

BUT AMANDA WOULDN'T DO THAT.

SHE DOESN'T NEED THE MONEY.

YOU KNOW AMANDA'S A FOLLOWER.

FINE.

KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CALL HER ALL DAY.

SHE'S NOT CALLING ME BACK.

SHE'S PROBABLY IN CLASS. IT'S MIDTERMS.

I WANT TO GO VISIT HER TODAY.

WYATT, TODAY'S NOT A TRAVEL DAY.

IT IS NOW.

WYATT, YOU CAN'T DICTATE HOW THIS PROGRAM GOES.

JEFFREY.

NO.

PLEASE.

HAVEN'T I BEEN DOING WELL?

YES.

COME ON.

BEND THE RULES FOR ME JUST A LITTLE.

OKAY, OKAY.

FINE, WE'LL GO.

GREAT.

GONNA SHOWER.

[ WATER RUNNING ]

MM.

HE SAID "PLEASE."

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

[ SIGHING ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME ON IN. THE DOOR'S OPEN.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM YOUR WIFE?

NO.

JIM.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

SHE'S GONE.

SHE'S NOT ANSWERING HER PHONE, WHICH PROBABLY MEANS

SHE'S ON BORA BORA WITH THE POOL BOY,

I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY.

WE NEED HER HERE.

I KNOW THAT, OKAY?

I UNDERSTAND, BUT WE STILL HAVE A FEW DAYS, SO JUST RELAX.

IF KATHERYN ISN'T BY YOUR SIDE,

IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S NOT WITH YOU,

AND IF SHE'S NOT WITH YOU,

IT LOOKS LIKE THE INFLUENCE HER LATE FATHER'S NAME CARRIES

IS NOT WITH YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT.

I GET IT.

BUT I KNOW MY WIFE.

SHE'LL COOL OFF. SHE'LL BE BACK, SO RELAX.

HAS SHE DONE THIS BEFORE?

NO.

THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'LL DO NOW?

DAVID, MY WIFE IS LIKE AN ANIMAL

THAT WAS RAISED IN CAPTIVITY, OKAY?

SHE'S NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SURVIVE VERY LONG

OUT IN THE WILD.

SHE'LL CALM DOWN, SHE'LL BE BACK.

RELAX.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME IN.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

WELL.

WELL, HELLO, SWEETHEART.

HONEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, IF I HAD SEEN YOU AT BREAKFAST,

YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

UH... JIM.

VERONICA.

I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY. I HAD A MEETING.

THAT WOULD BE MY FAULT.

AH.

I SEE.

POLITICS.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

BUT LOOK AT YOU.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THE HALLS OF JUSTICE?

YOU REALLY MISS IT THAT MUCH?

ACTUALLY, I DON'T MISS IT AT ALL.

GOOD.

BUT I'VE BEEN CALLED TO DUTY.

MEANING?

KATHERYN HAS ASKED ME TO HELP HANNA'S SON.

REALLY?

IS THAT A FACT?

YES.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU BEFORE YOU LEFT THIS MORNING.

NOW, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT?

SHE ASKED.

AND IT LOOKED SIMPLE ENOUGH.

APPARENTLY, HER SON'S A DRUG DEALER.

I'M NOT SO SURE.

HE'S CLEAN, NO PRIORS.

I CAN'T REALLY SAY WHAT'S GOING ON,

BUT I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING.

ARREST WAS SOLID.

I MEAN, THE BOY HAD TWO KILOS OF NARCOTICS IN HIS POSSESSION.

HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THIS?

OH, I, UH, I ASKED DAVID TO HELP HANNA.

YES.

AND, UH, I READ THE ARREST REPORT.

I REALLY DON'T WANT YOU INVOLVED IN THIS.

WELL, IT'S TOO LATE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

HONEY, DON'T.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.

IT WAS A PRESSURE OF THE LAW

THAT CAUSED YOU TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM IN THE PAST.

WHY DON'T I LEAVE YOU TWO ALONE?

THIS IS PRIVATE.

NO.

YOU'RE FAMILY.

IT WAS HURTING MY BACK

THAT CAUSED ME TO START TAKING THE PAIN KILLERS

THAT I BECAME ADDICTED TO.

BUT YOU COULDN'T STOP.

I'M FINE.

HONEY, I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO THIS.

IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS.

IT'LL BE GOOD TO GET IN THE FIGHT AGAIN.

SWEETHEART.

DAVID, PLEASE, STOP IT.

SERIOUSLY, I'M ‐‐ I'M GONNA GET SOME WATER,

SOME COFFEE, SOMETHING.

NO. CONTINUE YOUR MEETING.

I HAVE TO GO MEET WITH THE DETECTIVE WHO DID THE BUST.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS CASE ALL NIGHT,

AND SOME THINGS JUST DON'T ADD UP.

HMM.

I WILL SEE YOU AT HOME.

YES, YOU WILL.

JIM.

VERONICA.

DAVID.

I KNOW.

DAMN IT, I KNOW.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

HI.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WYATT WANTED TO STOP BY.

UM, NOW IS NOT A GOOD TIME. SORRY.

WHY? WAITING FOR A JOHN?

I'M BUSY.

WHERE'S AMANDA?

CLASS. SHE'S STUDYING.

OKAY.

WE'LL WAIT FOR HER THEN.

NO, YOU WON'T.

I HAVE THINGS TO DO.

LIKE WHAT?

JEFFREY, GET YOUR BOY AND PUT HIM ON A LEASH.

[ SCOFFS ]

LEASH?

WYATT, I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS TODAY.

GOODBYE.

COME ON, MAN. SHE'S NOT HERE.

OKAY, GO. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU CHARGE BY THE MINUTE.

EXCUSE ME?

$1,000 AN HOUR?

HEY, WYATT.

WHAT?

YOU TOLD ME YOU WANTED TO COME HERE TO CHECK ON YOUR SISTER.

SHE'S NOT HERE, SO LET'S GO.

YES, GO.

LISTEN TO THE PERSON WHO THINKS AND SPEAKS FOR YOU.

IT WOULD BE WISE.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO INSULT HIM.

PROTECTIVE, ISN'T SHE? HMM?

I'M DONE. LET'S GO.

I AM.

BUT FIRST, I WANT TO TALK TO CANDACE.

IS MY SISTER IN THIS?

IN WHAT? PROSTITUTION.

OH, MY GOODNESS, JEFFREY.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE HELPING THIS BOY GET OFF OF CRACK.

HEROIN. SAME THING.

IT'S ALL FOR THE WEAK.

[ SCOFFS ]

WYATT ‐‐ SHUT UP, JEFFREY.

OKAY.

IS MY SISTER IN THIS?

YOU'RE ASSUMING I AM.

THIS IS YOU.

CANDY?

911?

$1,000.

STILL WANT TO DENY IT?

QUIET NOW, AREN'T WE?

YES.

THIS IS WHAT I DO FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE A LIVING.

WHAT?

YOU'RE JUDGING ME, MR. HEROIN?

I GREW UP WITH NOTHING.

I DIDN'T HAVE A SILVER SPOON IN MY MOUTH.

SO YOU PUT SOMETHING ELSE IN IT.

YES.

AND I'M VERY GOOD AT IT.

YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERYTHING AND YOU ALWAYS BLOW IT.

APPARENTLY, SO DO YOU.

YOU HAVE HAD THE WORLD HANDED TO YOU,

AND IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT,

I WILL HAND YOU YOUR ASS.

COME ON, WYATT. GET.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I FIND MY SISTER.

SHE'S NOT ANSWERING MY PHONE CALLS.

SHE KNOW ABOUT YOU?

IF YOU DON'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW...

GO.

OKAY.

WYATT! WYATT! WYATT! WYATT!

NO!

WYATT, WAIT!

WHY IS THIS ROOM SUCH A MESS?

WHAT'S GOING ON, CANDACE?

SO?

VERONICA IS INTO THIS.

AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

COME ON, DAVID. WE BOTH KNOW VERONICA.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT?

YES, WE DO.

YES, AND WE BOTH KNOW

THAT ONCE VERONICA GETS HER NOSE INTO SOMETHING,

SHE'S GOING TO KEEP IT THERE

UNTIL SHE UNCOVERS EVERY BONE THAT WE HAVE BURIED,

SO AGAIN, I SAY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT?

I AM AWARE OF THAT.

SO, ARE YOU GOING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING?

YES, I WILL.

YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED. YOU'RE NOT PANICKED AT ALL.

WHY?

JIM... NO, NO, NO.

YOU ALREADY HAVE A PLAN, DON'T YOU?

[ CHUCKLES ] NO, I DON'T.

YES, YOU DO.

AND THIS TIME, DEAR FRIEND,

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD FILL ME IN ON IT.

DON'T I ALWAYS?

NO, YOU DON'T ALWAYS, DAVID, BECAUSE IF YOU DID,

WE WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND OURSELVES IN THIS PREDICAMENT.

NOW, HOLD ON.

DID YOU JUST SAY THAT TO ME?

YES, I SAID THAT TO YOU IN MY OFFICE ON THIS COUCH.

NO, JIM.

IF YOU WEREN'T SLEEPING WITH THE WHORE,

THEN WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION.

DON'T CALL HER THAT ANYMORE, DAVID.

OH.

WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER? PROSTITUTE?

SHE'S NOT DOING THAT ANYMORE.

PERHAPS SHE'S NOT,

'CAUSE SHE HAS EXTORTED ENOUGH FROM YOU

TO RETIRE FOR A YEAR OR TWO.

WELL, THAT MAY BE SO.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU ARE ENJOYING THIS.

[ CHUCKLES ]

GRINNING LIKE A CHESHIRE CAT.

WELL... [ CHUCKLES ]

NO, YOU ‐‐ YOU NEED TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

MM.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT SHE IS SO GOOD IN BED

YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK IT ALL?

NO, NO.

WHAT I'M TELLING YOU

IS THAT SHE IS SO DAMN GOOD AT BEING BAD

THAT I WANT TO TAKE THAT CHANCE.

WELL, I CAN'T TAKE IT.

I'M SORRY, DAVID.

BUT HAVE YOU MET MY WIFE?

AND WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT MEANS KATHERYN'S IDEA OF HAVING SEX IS NOT AT ALL.

ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU NEVER HAVE SEX WITH KATHERYN ANYMORE?

[ CHUCKLES ]

BITE YOUR TONGUE.

NOW, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?

AS LONG AS SHE'S BEEN THERE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT SHE HATES ME.

SHE HATES ME, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.

WELL, PERHAPS IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR ‐‐

YOUR EXTRA‐CURRICULAR ACTIVITY.

NO, NO, NO.

SHE'S HATED ME LONG BEFORE I STARTED DOING THAT.

AND I DON'T GET IT.

TELL US.

COME CLEAN, CANDACE.

I'M ON MY WAY BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.

YOUR SISTER TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

WHAT?

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I FOUND HER IN HER BEDROOM YESTERDAY.

I CALLED 911.

THEY RUSHED HER TO THE HOSPITAL.

I‐I WAS WITH HER ALL NIGHT.

THE DOCTOR ASKED ME TO COME BACK HERE

TO FIND WHATEVER BOTTLES OF PILLS THAT I COULD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL US?

I DIDN'T HAVE TIME.

I'M CALLING MY DAD. NO, NO, NO, NO!

YOU ‐‐ NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT.

WHY?

AMANDA WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY SISTER.

SO, I‐I MEAN, I DON'T THINK, UH ‐‐

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ] HANG ON.

WYATT.

WYATT: Dad.

WYATT. YEAH, SON, LISTEN, I'M UH ‐‐

Dad.

AMANDA'S AT THE HOSPITAL. SHE TRIED IT AGAIN.

WHAT? WHERE?

WHERE IS SHE?

Candace, what hospital?

CANDACE? WHAT'S SHE DOING THERE?

I'M AT THEIR APARTMENT.

Who's apartment?

CANDACE AND AMANDA'S.

CANDACE AND AMANDA HAVE AN APARTMENT?

Yes.

WHERE IS YOUR SISTER, SON? WHAT HOSPITAL?

WHERE IS SHE?

CANDACE!

MERCY.

MERCY, DAD.

I'M ON MY WAY.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

NOTHING IS OKAY.

WOULD YOU STOP PACING? YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS.

I'M SORRY.

DO YOU KNOW THE STREET VALUE OF A KILO OF COCAINE?

MY SON WOULD NOT SELL DRUGS.

WELL, YOU WERE BEHIND ON ALL OF YOUR BILLS.

LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT ON TRIAL.

YOUR SON IS.

PAYING YOUR BILLS,

IF HE LOVES YOU AS MUCH AS YOU SAY HE DOES,

WOULD BE A MOTIVE.

MY SON WOULD NOT SELL DRUGS, MRS. HARRINGTON.

YES, YOU SAID THAT... OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IT'S THE TRUTH.

THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH. WELL, THE TRUTH HERE

IS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THE FACTS.

THEY WERE IN MY DAUGHTER'S CAR.

HE WAS DRIVING.

I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS HELPING.

I'M ONLY ASKING THE QUESTIONS THE PROSECUTION WOULD ASK.

ARE YOU?

YES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING? I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.

THEN DO IT.

IS THAT THE WAY YOU THANK SOMEONE WHO'S DOING YOU A FAVOR?

A FAVOR?

YES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?

MY RATE IS $750 AN HOUR WITH A $10,000 RETAINER.

NOW, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN AFFORD THAT,

THEN [CHUCKLES] PLEASE, HAND IT OVER.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE ME, BUT WHAT IS IT?

AM I TOO BLACK?

IS IT 'CAUSE I'M A MAID?

WHAT?

WHY ARE YOU A MAID?

I MEAN, OUR PEOPLE STOPPED DOING DOMESTIC WORK IN THE '60s.

HMM.

APPARENTLY, YOU DIDN'T GET THE MEMO.

WHAT MEMO IS THAT?

THAT WE COULD HAVE ANYTHING WE WANT,

THAT WE WERE GOOD ENOUGH,

THAT EDUCATION WAS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF US.

OPTIONS WERE LIMITLESS.

IT'S SO EASY FOR YOU TO SIT THERE AND ASSUME

THAT I'M IN THIS POSITION 'CAUSE I WANT TO BE.

PLEASE, DON'T TELL ME.

YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

THAT PLACES ALL THE BLAME ON "THE MAN"?

[ CHUCKLES ]

NOPE.

I PLACE THE BLAME ON MYSELF.

I HAD TWO BABIES ON MY HIP AND I WORKED TWO JOBS,

ONE OF THEM BEING A MAID, WHICH I'M GOOD AT.

I'M NOT ASHAMED OF, JUST LIKE MY MAMA.

THIS IS MY LIFE, MRS. HARRINGTON.

AND I'M SORRY IF I'M ONE OF THOSE NEGROES

WHO MAKES YOU REFLECT ON WHERE WE COME FROM,

OR HOW YOU WERE SO BUSY OVERCOMING

AND STEPPING ON SOME OF US TO GET THERE.

SOME OF US HAD TO TAKE WHAT WE WERE GIVEN.

I HAVE HAD TOUGH TIMES, TOO.

BUT I PULLED MYSELF UP.

SO, YOU THINK YOU DID IT BY YOURSELF?

NOBODY HELPED ME.

IF YOU THINK GOD DIDN'T LINE UP THINGS IN YOUR LIFE

FOR YOU TO BE IN THE POSITION YOU'RE IN,

THEN YOU'RE A FOOL.

MM.

WHY DIDN'T GOD LINE THINGS UP FOR YOU?

WHO'S THE FOOL?

I NEED YOUR HELP, MRS. HARRINGTON,

NOT YOUR SARCASM.

WELL, THAT COMES WITH THE DEAL.

NOW, I AM HAPPY TO RETURN TO MY HOME.

PHEW!

I HAVE A SPA DAY.

I'M SORRY.

THAT'S BETTER.

NOW, I WILL TRY TO GET HIM BAIL,

BUT WITH AN OFFENSE LIKE THAT,

IT COULD BE IN EXCESS OF $100,000.

CAN YOU AFFORD THAT?

MAYBE I CAN PUT UP MY HOUSE.

WELL, YOU ARE AWARE THAT IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP TO COURT,

YOU WILL LOSE YOUR HOUSE?

HE WOULDN'T DO THAT.

ARE YOU SO SURE?

I KNOW MY SON...

AS WELL AS YOU KNOW YOURS.

OH. HEY.

[ CHUCKLES ] HEY, BABY.

YEAH, YEAH.

OH.

BENNY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?

I'M OKAY.

NO, YOU'RE NOT. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I GOT INTO IT WITH SOMEBODY DOWN HERE.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

BENNY.

I'M ALL RIGHT, MOM.

HI.

HI.

I'M VERONICA, YOUR LAWYER.

MAMA, WE CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER.

I GOT IT COVERED.

YOU'RE NOT PUTTING YOUR HOUSE UP FOR ME.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOUR SISTER GOT YOU IN THIS.

I GOT TO GET YOU OUT, BABY. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME. PLEASE.

IT'S FINE.

SHE'S DOING IT FOR FREE.

[ Voice breaking ] AIN'T GOD GOOD?

YOU ARE?

YES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO OUR FAMILY.

OKAY.

YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED?

OF COURSE.

I MEAN, UM...WELL, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START?

HOW ABOUT THE BEGINNING?

OKAY, I WAS ON MY WAY TO GET DARCI,

AND I GOT PULLED OVER, AND ‐‐

WHO IS DARCI?

A DATE THAT I HAD.

REAL NICE GIRL FROM THE CHURCH.

AND, UM ‐‐

CONTINUE.

UH, THE DOGS ‐‐ THE DOGS WERE HITTING ON THE CAR,

THE COPS SAID, AND THEY PULLED ME OUT OF THE CAR,

SAID I WAS SPEEDING.

Woman: PAGING DR. BENDER.

WYATT.

DAD.

WHERE IS SHE?

THEY'RE NOT LETTING ANYONE SEE HER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I CAME HOME AND FOUND HER IN HER BEDROOM.

APPARENTLY, SHE HAD TAKEN A BUNCH OF PILLS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAME HOME?

HOW LONG YOU AND AMANDA BEEN LIVING TOGETHER?

NOT LONG.

SHE'S A PROSTITUTE, DAD.

SHE DID THIS.

YOU NEED TO HAVE HER ARRESTED.

JUST CALM DOWN. NO, DAD.

I SAW HER ONLINE.

SHE HAD AMANDA DOING THE SAME THING.

SHE'S AN ESCORT.

WHAT? WYATT, WE DON'T KNOW THAT.

YES, I DO.

MR. CRYER, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF OF THAT.

IS THAT TRUE?

THEN HOW COME MY SON IS SAYING IT?

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT SHE HAS YOUR SISTER

DOING THE SAME THING?

SHE IS EVIL.

NOW, I KNOW WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO DO.

PRETENDING TO WANT TO STUDY, TRYING TO SEDUCE YOU.

SHE IS EVIL.

WYATT, CALM DOWN.

WHERE ARE THE DOCTORS?

THEY'RE IN THERE WITH HER.

THEY SAID THEY'LL BE OUT HERE SOON TO TALK TO US.

DID YOU CALL YOUR MOTHER?

SHE'S NOT ANSWERING.

WELL, THAT'S GREAT.

JUST GREAT.

SHE'LL BE OKAY.

HI.

HI.

UM, SORRY.

WE'LL BE OUT OF YOUR HAIR IN JUST A SECOND.

HOW'S IT GOING?

I MET HANNA'S SON.

HOW DID IT GO?

I THINK HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

HONEY. NO, SWEETHEART.

SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG,

AND THE DETECTIVE THAT ARRESTED HIM,

I'M SURE HE'S NOT ABOVE BOARD.

RANKINS.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW HIM?

YES.

WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN GET HIM TO RETURN MY PHONE CALL

SINCE HE HADN'T ALL DAY.

I'LL GIVE HIM A CALL.

THANKS.

SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG HERE.

BUT YOU KNOW YOUR WIFE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

YEAH, SWEETHEART.

I'M SURE YOU WILL.

UM, I WAS JUST ON MY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL.

IT'S AMANDA.

SHE TRIED IT AGAIN.

OH, DAVID.

LET'S GO.

JUST TELLING ME THIS.

I'LL LEAVE THE REST. LET'S GO.

Woman: DR. BENDER TO THE MEDICAL WARD.

DR. BENDER.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, GUYS. I'M GONNA GO.

LET ME KNOW IF SOMETHING CHANGES.

SURE. JUST GET OUT OF HERE.

I KNOW THIS IS REALLY HARD FOR YOU.

NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THE FAMILY KNEW IT.

I FOUND HER THE FIRST TIME.

I'M SO SORRY.

I FOUND HER IN THE BATHROOM.

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE DID IT?

SHE'S BEEN UNHAPPY SINCE.

SHE'S BEEN UNHAPPY SINCE WHAT?

WE WERE LEFT AT SUMMER CAMP,

AND, UH, IT WAS WITH THE CHURCH.

AND...

AND WHAT?

FATHER ELAMOS.

YOU REMEMBER HIM?

YEAH.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

HE MADE US DO THINGS.

WHAT KIND OF THINGS?

[ SIGHS DEEPLY ]

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, OKAY?

NO, IT'S...WYATT, IT'S OKAY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD.

THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS.

THINK TALKING ABOUT THIS WOULD REALLY HELP YOU.

HOW ARE YOU?

FINE.

I HEARD ABOUT AMANDA.

I'M SO SORRY.

LAURA.

HI, JEFFREY.

HI.

HOW ARE YOU?

IT'S PRETTY PRIVATE.

OKAY. YEAH, I‐I UNDERSTAND.

HEY, HEY.

I'M SO SORRY.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE GETTING BACK INSIDE.

HOLD ON.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

MISSING YOU.

I'M SORRY.

I WANT TO APOLOGIZE.

I...DON'T BE MAD AT ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I COULD NEVER BE MAD AT YOU. I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH.

I'M DOING BETTER.

RIGHT, JEFFREY?

YES, AND WE'D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, SO COME ON.

CAN YOU VISIT ME?

UH, WHERE?

I HAVE 30 DAYS LEFT.

IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO SEE A FRIEND.

Jeffrey: NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. CAN'T DO THAT.

THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES, WYATT.

NOT FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

PLEASE.

I WILL. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, WYATT.

I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

COME ON, WYATT.

[ SIGHS ]

MM.

YOU'RE UP.

YEAH.

YOUR PHONE'S BEEN RINGING.

I DON'T CARE. TURN IT OFF.

IT COULD BE IMPORTANT.

WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING HEALED FROM THIS CANCER?

MM.

NOW, THAT'S THE RIGHT IDEA.

HOW'D IT GO WITH VERONICA?

FINE.

HANNA.

NO, IT WAS FINE.

SHE WASN'T MEAN TO YOU?

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

'CAUSE I'VE KNOWN HER FOR YEARS.

SHE CAN GET THE JOB DONE.

YEAH, I HOPE SO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS MY SON CAN TAKE.

[ GRUNTS ]

YOU OKAY? [ GRUNTS ]

I'M ‐‐ I'M NOT FEELING TOO WELL RIGHT NOW, HANNA.

CALL THE NURSE, PLEASE.

YEAH.

AND THEN I WANT YOU TO GO HOME.

NO.

YES. THIS IS TOO MUCH.

I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE YOU RIGHT NOW.

I'M FINE. OHH.

THANK YOU, HANNA.

YEAH.

THANK YOU.

I HOPE THAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE AS GOOD TO PEOPLE AS YOU ARE.

WELL, ONE OF THEM IS FOR SURE.

MM.

MR. CRYER.

WYATT'S OUT HERE FALLING ASLEEP,

GOOD. I'LL SEE YOU, UH... I'LL SEE YOU ALL THERE LATER.

OKAY.

AND WE'LL BE BACK IN THE MORNING.

FINE.

HEY, JEFFREY.

YES, SIR?

DO YOU HAVE CANDACE'S ADDRESS?

YES, SIR.

I'D LIKE YOU TO WRITE IT DOWN

AND AND PUT IT ON THE TABLE OVER THERE FOR ME, PLEASE.

TELL WYATT WHEN HE WAKES UP THAT HIS FATHER LOVES HIM.

I WILL, MR. CRYER.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

[ POUNDING ON DOOR ]

YOU COME AFTER MY DAUGHTER?

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

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

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I'D GROW TO LIKE YOU, WYATT.

LAURA, YOU REMEMBER JEFFREY.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO RELAPSE, AND SHE WILL MAKE YOU RELAPSE.

I DON'T WANT THAT.

YOU PRAY FOR ME.

I WILL.

I DID IT AGAIN.

TRIED TO HURT YOURSELF AGAIN, BABY.

I'M SORRY.

DO YOU HAVE A TRUST?

YES.

I NEED TO KNOW YOUR SISTER'S NAME.

Benny: I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT.

ALL RIGHT? I'M NOT GETTING HER INVOLVED WITH THIS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT 20 YEARS IF YOU DON'T TALK TO ME.
