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

APPARENTLY, ALL THE EVIDENCE WENT MISSING,

SO THE D. A. HAD TO DROP THE CHARGES.

OH, MY GOD. THANK YOU, JESUS!

BUT CANDACE IS MY DAUGHTER.

SHE'S SLEEPING WITH MY HUSBAND.

OOH, WHAT?!

HONOR YOUR WISHES AND NEVER BOTHER YOU AGAIN.

Jim: CANDACE, ARE YOU SURE

THAT THAT WOULD BE HONORING MY WISHES?

STOP IT.

COME ON. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "STOP"?

I KNOW WHEN TO STOP.

WHAT? NO.

WELL, NOW, HOW MUCH DO I HATE TO BE RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, VERONICA, YOU REALLY SHOULD KNOCK.

SHOULD I? YES, YOU SHOULD.

JUST BE GLAD IT WASN'T KATHERYN AT THE DOOR.

WOULD THAT MATTER?

OF COURSE IT WOULD.

THEN YOU DON'T KNOW OUR RELATIONSHIP VERY WELL.

NO, BUT I SEE YOU STILL HAVE A SOFT SPOT,

OR SHOULD I SAY A HARD SPOT FOR YOUNG WHORES.

HELLO, YOUNG WHORE.

I SEE YOU'RE UP TO YOUR OLD TRICK.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU,

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO POISED AND IN CONTROL.

BUT EVERY WORD OUT OF YOUR MOUTH LETS ME KNOW

HOW INSECURE YOU ARE.

I AM NOT INSECURE.

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

HMM...AWARE.

AWARE? YES.

HMM.

AWARE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

DARLING, YOU CAN'T GET AHEAD BY GIVING IT.

YOU WANT TO BET?

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU DISGUST ME.

WHY?

BECAUSE I CAN GET AHEAD ON MY BACK,

AND YOU COULDN'T GET AN INCH ON YOURS?

YOU SHOULD LEAVE THIS OFFICE.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

TRASH, JIM? REALLY?

TRASH.

WOW.

I MAKE YOU SO UNCOMFORTABLE, DON'T I?

MM...YES.

YOU DO.

[ SCOFFS ] IT'S OKAY.

DON'T WORRY.

I'M GONNA LEAVE, SO THE THREAT WILL BE GONE.

BUT AS I WALK OUT THE DOOR,

YOUR HUSBAND IS GONNA HAVE TO TRY HARD NOT TO STARE,

BECAUSE IF YOU WEREN'T HERE, HE WOULD.

BITCH, GET YOUR ASS OUT THE DOOR.

GLADLY.

HONEY, LET'S GO. NO.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

NOT UNTIL I SPEAK WITH JIM.

HMM.

VERONICA, THIS IS NOT YOUR CONCERN.

KATHERYN IS MY CONCERN. KATHERYN IS MY FRIEND.

HONEY.

I'M SEEING YOUR WIFE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

OH. I WILL EXPECT FOR YOU

TO TELL HER ABOUT THIS ENTIRE SITUATION

BY THE TIME I ARRIVE AT YOUR HOUSE.

OR ELSE.

OR ELSE WHAT?

OR ELSE I WILL TELL HER MYSELF.

ARE YOU THREATENING ME, VERONICA?

YOU THINK THIS IS A THREAT?

VERONICA, THAT'S ENOUGH.

YOU UNDERESTIMATE ME.

YOU BOTH UNDERESTIMATE ME.

DAVID, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, LYING AND PROTECTING HIM?

HE'S JUST GONNA DO IT AGAIN.

NOT UNTIL YOU LET HIM BURN IN THE FIRE WILL HE EVER LEARN.

YOU'RE NOT HELPING HIM, AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING US.

THIS IS NOT OUR BUSINESS.

THIS IS OUR BUSINESS.

THIS IS OUR REPUTATION. THIS IS OUR LIVELIHOOD.

HE ‐‐ HE IS OUR BUSINESS.

DON'T WORRY, VERONICA.

YOUR HUSBAND IS STILL GONNA BE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR,

AND YOU WILL STILL GET YOUR TIME IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

SPOTLIGHT. YES.

ANYBODY WHO KNOWS YOU KNOWS YOU LOVE AN AUDIENCE,

KNOWS YOU LOVE TO BE ONSTAGE.

ALL RIGHT, JIM. TAKE IT, GIRL, TAKE IT.

HUH, AS MUCH AS YOU ENJOY PLAYING IN THE TRASH?

MAYBE NOT QUITE AS MUCH.

HUH. I'M TELLING KATHERYN.

YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD.

I WILL.

STUPID WHORE.

[ SCOFFS ]

I WILL SEE YOU AT HOME, DAVID.

THAT'S WHY I CAN'T LET YOU DESTROY WHAT WE HAVE.

JEFFREY.

I CAN'T LET YOU DESTROY WHAT WE ‐‐

WE HAVE NOTHING!

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WYATT.

JEFFREY. IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

THERE IS NO "US". NO, NO. NO, NO. NO, NO.

WE CAN COME OUT TOGETHER.

WE CAN COME OUT TOGETHER.

JUST YOU AND I. IT DOESN'T MATTER.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE BY MY SIDE, I'LL TELL MY MOTHER.

IT DOESN'T MATTER, WYATT.

JEFFREY, THERE IS NO US.

I'M NOT GAY!

OKAY, WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS!

I AM NOT GAY!

YOU'RE UP EARLY.

YEAH, I COULDN'T SLEEP.

YEAH, I'M FINE.

WELL, I'M GONNA TAKE THE ENTIRE DAY OFF

SO WE CAN SPEND IT TOGETHER.

APPRECIATE IT, MAMA, BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

COME ON, NOW.

TAKE THE DAY OFF.

WE COULD RIDE OUT TO THAT CORN FARM.

YOU KNOW WHERE THEY USED TO DO THAT MAZE ONCE A YEAR?

WE COULD HAVE A PICNIC,

LIKE WE USED TO DO WHEN YOU WERE A BABY.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I'M NOT A BABY ANYMORE, MOMMY.

GOT BILLS.

I KNOW, BENNY.

YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING ME SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HOME.

NO, I HAVEN'T.

YES, YOU HAVE.

MAMA, WE JUST WENT TO DINNER LAST NIGHT.

MM‐HMM.

YOU WERE QUIET ALL THROUGH THAT.

WAS I?

MM‐HMM.

I DIDN'T THINK I WAS. I'M SORRY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU KNOW I KNOW YOU.

I'M FINE, MAMA.

COME ON, TELL ME.

FATHER, WE ASK YOU TO BLESS THIS FOOD

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

AMEN.

JUST SITTING IN THAT JAIL CELL, YOU KNOW?

TOO MUCH TIME TO THINK ‐‐ MADE ME THINK ABOUT A LOT.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

THOUGHT ABOUT YOU, CANDACE, THE SITUATION.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DIDN'T GET IT FIGURED OUT.

BUT WE DID, THANK GOD.

YEAH, THANK GOD.

YOU'RE FINE NOW, BABY.

THAT'S ALL BEHIND YOU. YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO LOOK BACK.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME, THOUGH.

YEAH.

I KNOW YOU'RE A GROWN MAN.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT YOUR MAMA TO KNOW THIS,

BUT I KNOW YOU WERE SCARED.

I MEAN, I'M NOT GONNA LIE TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, I NEVER COULD.

I WAS.

YOU KNOW I NEVER BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

MM‐HMM.

I'M FINE, THOUGH, YOU KNOW?

I JUST...

[ SIGHS ]

I JUST NEED A LITTLE WHILE TO TAKE IN WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

OKAY.

IT WAS TRAUMATIC FOR BOTH OF US.

ANYTHING I CAN DO?

YOU CAN GO TO WORK.

WHAT, YOU DON'T WANT TO HANG WITH YOUR MAMA?

NAH, IT'S NOT THAT.

JUST GOT TO GET OUT.

MAYBE I'LL TRY TO GET SOME TOWS OR SOMETHING.

WE CAN'T AFFORD FOR ME TO BE OUT OF WORK ANYMORE.

OH, BENNY, YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN THE PAST WEEK.

I KNOW THIS WAS HARD ON YOU.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY TRIED

TO SET CANDACE UP LIKE THAT.

BENNY. WHAT?

IT'S THE TRUTH, AND YOU KNOW IT.

THAT'S THE LIFE SHE LIVES.

LOOK, DON'T START IN ON HER RIGHT NOW, OKAY?

I'M NOT. I'M JUST S‐‐

LOOK, NOT NOW, MAMA.

FINE.

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.

I KNOW.

YOU HAVE, TOO.

YEAH, A LOT OF THEM. MM.

BUT I DIDN'T DO IT INTENTIONALLY.

WELL, SOMETIMES THE CHOICES YOU MAKE

DON'T INTENTIONALLY HURT PEOPLE, ALL RIGHT,

BUT THEY STILL DO HURT.

BUT SHE IS ‐‐

LOOK, STOP TALKING ABOUT CANDACE'S MISTAKES

UNLESS YOU'RE FINALLY GONNA START

LIVING UP TO SOME OF YOUR OWN, ALL RIGHT?

YOU SOUND LIKE A DAMN HYPOCRITE.

OH, NOW, HOLD ON. WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

DON'T DO THIS TO ME, ALL RIGHT?

I'M NOT CANDACE.

DON'T SIT HERE AND LIE TO MY FACE.

I KNOW.

I TOLD HIM IT WAS THE WRONG THING TO DO.

I TOLD THAT MAN.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO FIND OUT LIKE THIS, BENNY.

I BEGGED TONY NOT TO GO UP THERE

WHILE YOU WERE SITTING UP THERE IN JAIL

AND TELL YOU HE WAS YOUR FATHER.

I'M SORRY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WAIT.

SHE TOLD ME ‐‐

MR. WATSON'S MY DADDY?

YOU SAID HE ‐‐ I THOUGHT YOU KNEW.

NO.

CANDACE SAID BACK IN THE DAY,

YOU WERE SHACKED UP WITH SOME MARRIED MAN.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

NOT HIM.

HE'S MY DADDY?

YES, BENNY.

AND YOU LET ME INVITE HIM IN HERE,

AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME?

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT.

YOU SURPRISED ME, TOO, BABY.

I'M SORRY.

SORRY?

[ SNIFFLES ]

THAT'S MESSED UP, MOM.

COME ON, NOW. WAIT.

I GOT TO GO TO WORK.

I DIDN'T KNOW.

BENNY, I'M SORRY.

I GOT TO GO TO WORK.

WELL, DON'T GO LIKE THIS.

LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT IT.

I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

COME ON, NOW. PLEASE, BENNY.

A CHAIN? REALLY?

YES.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID

YOU WERE GONNA HAVE THE LOCKS CHANGED.

I'M WORKING ON IT.

CAN I COME IN?

WHY?

PLEASE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT YOU.

JIM.

I'VE BEEN GIVING THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT ‐‐ THIS.

AND I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TO ME NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU'RE WHAT'S MISSING IN MY LIFE.

YOU'RE WHAT I NEED.

SO WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THIS, HMM?

YOU THINK I'M STUPID?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU'RE TALKING ALL THIS BULL,

TRY AND GET ME TO GET RID OF THIS CHILD,

AND IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

OKAY.

CAN'T FOOL YOU.

NO, YOU CAN'T.

BUT COME ON, WHY CAN'T WE, HMM?

TOO MUCH COLLATERAL DAMAGE, JIM.

TOO MANY BODIES IN THE STREET.

THIS IS DONE.

I'M FINISHED WITH YOU. IT'S OVER.

I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THIS CHILD.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE HIM OR HER.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU.

I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BABY.

SO... HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?

$10,000.

$10,000?

YES.

THAT'S REASONABLE.

I THOUGHT SO, TOO.

HMM.

$10,000 A MONTH.

WHA‐‐

$120,000 A YEAR ‐‐ THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT?

WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY $2.1 MILLION OVER 18 YEARS ‐‐

GIVE OR TAKE.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME

THAT FROM THE MOMENT THIS CHILD IS BORN ‐‐

NO.

NOT WHEN HE'S BORN.

STARTING NOW.

STOP IT.

STOP IT RIGHT NOW, CANDACE. NO, YOU STOP IT.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT.

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY WITH YOU, ISN'T IT?

WELL, YOU HAVE IT.

AND BECAUSE I HAVE IT, YOU DESERVE IT?

BECAUSE I HAVE IT,

IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO BLACKMAIL ME AGAIN?

NO, JIM.

I TOLD YOU I'M DONE WITH THAT, AND I'M DONE WITH YOU.

SO THAT MEANS I CAN SAY NO.

SURE.

YOU CAN SO SAY NO RIGHT NOW.

OKAY.

NO.

NO?

NO.

TELL YOU WHAT I WILL DO, THOUGH.

I WILL AGREE TO PAY FOR THE PROCEDURE

TO ELIMINATE OUR LITTLE PROBLEM.

"PROCEDURE." YEAH.

YOU CAN'T SAY "ABORTION"?

THIS IS A TAKE‐IT‐OR‐LEAVE‐IT DEAL, CANDACE.

IT'S A LEAVE‐IT, JIM.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S HAVE IT.

GIVE ME THE THREAT.

I DON'T HAVE A THREAT.

YOU DON'T?

NOPE.

REALLY?

SO, YOU'RE ACTUALLY SAYING THAT I CAN JUST WALK AWAY

FROM YOU, FROM THE BABY ‐‐

NEVER HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER

FROM HERE TILL ETERNITY ‐‐ THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

I WILL TAKE CARE OF MY OWN CHILD.

WHY DON'T I BELIEVE THAT?

YOU CAN BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE,

BUT IT'S TRUE.

SO THERE'S NO MONEY ‐‐ WE'RE DONE.

YOU ARE FREE AND CLEAR.

GOODBYE.

GOODBYE.

I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU SO BAD.

JIM. RIGHT NOW.

OH, GOSH.

COME ON. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH.

I AM NOT A FOOL.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.

YOU'RE WRONG.

I DO. I REALLY DO.

NOW, COME ON.

OH.

HEY, CANDACE. YEAH?

DON'T MAKE ME BEG.

YOU KNOW I'M NOT THE KIND OF A GUY THAT LIKES TO BEG.

SWEETHEART, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEG.

BECAUSE I ALREADY SAID NO. GOODBYE.

YOU WANT ME. I KNOW YOU DO. NO, I DON'T.

YES, YOU DO. [ DOOR OPENS ]

JIM ‐‐ OH, JIM. Amanda: CANDACE!

Amanda: CANDACE!

UH, YEAH?

OPEN THE DOOR.

OKAY, ONE, UH, ONE SECOND.

No! Don't ‐‐

HEY! HI!

DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

OH, HE JUST CAME TO DROP A BOOK OFF FOR ME.

I HAVE AN EXAM.

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S DOING.

IT'S NOT?

NO.

I KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S DOING?

DID MOM CALL YOU?

NO.

SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU I LEFT THE HOUSE?

NO.

NO, SHE DIDN'T.

WHERE WERE YOU GOING?

HERE, BACK TO MY HOUSE.

[ SIGHS ]

AMANDA, WE'VE TALKED ALL ABOUT THIS.

I'M DONE TALKING ABOUT THIS, BUT I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.

[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]

WHY IS HE HERE?

TO SEE HOW I'M LIVING.

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

BUT I'M FINE, DAD.

I KNOW MOM CALLED YOU, SO YOU CAN LEAVE NOW, PLEASE.

I'M SORRY HE USED SOME RUSE TO TRY TO GET YOU TO LET HIM IN.

WOW, SHE'S GOT YOU FIGURED OUT, HUH?

YEAH, CERTAINLY DOES.

MM.

AND I KNOW YOU DUPLICATED MY KEY.

MAY I HAVE IT, PLEASE?

YOU CERTAINLY KNOW YOUR OLD MAN.

HMM.

JUDGE CRYER, THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

HMM.

I LOVE YOU, BABY.

HELLO.

HELLO, MISS VERONICA.

I MADE YOU A CAKE.

REALLY? YES.

IT'S THE LEAST I COULD DO.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME.

YES, I DO.

OKAY.

WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.

CAN I PUT IT IN YOUR CAR?

THAT WILL BE FINE.

WHERE'S KATHERYN?

IN THE SUN ROOM.

THANK YOU.

AH.

HELLO.

HOW WAS YOUR VACATION?

IT WAS GOOD.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING.

YOU LOOK PALE.

DID THEY NOT HAVE SUN THERE?

NO, IT WAS A BIT OVERCAST, AND THE ROOMS WERE DIMLY LIT.

HM.

THAT VACATION WAS SUDDEN.

YES, IT WAS.

YOU KNOW, YOUR NEIGHBOR DIANNA WENT

ON A SUDDEN VACATION ONCE.

WHEN SHE CAME BACK,

HER FACE WAS TIGHTER, AND HER STOMACH WAS FLATTER.

[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY WORK DONE,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.

I JUST NEEDED TO GET AWAY FOR A WHILE.

WHAT WAS SO PRESSING?

MY ADORING HUSBAND.

AH. JIM.

HMM.

HOW IS HE?

YOU TELL ME.

YOU'VE SEEN A LOT MORE OF HIM LATELY THAN I HAVE.

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

I GUESS ONE OF HIS WHORES HAVE BEEN

KEEPING HIM A LITTLE BUSY.

NOT JIM ‐‐ THE GOLDEN BOY?

CUT THE CRAP, VERONICA.

[ CHUCKLES ]

JIM TOLD ME YOU CAUGHT HIM WITH CANDACE.

GOOD. HE TOLD YOU.

YES, HE DID.

AND WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

NOTHING.

REALLY?

MM‐HMM.

WHY?

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO HIM LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW

THAT THE MORE ROPE YOU GIVE HIM,

THE GREATER HIS HANGING HIMSELF WILL BE.

I COULD NEVER BE THAT WAY.

IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HUSBAND WHO LOVES AND ADORES YOU.

AND I HAVE JIM.

AND CANDACE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

AND CANDACE.

AND IT GETS WORSE.

SHE'S HANNA'S DAUGHTER.

HMM. GOOD. YOU KNOW THAT, TOO.

MM‐HMM.

AND AMANDA HAS MOVED OUT AND MOVED BACK IN WITH HER.

WHAT?

DOES AMANDA KNOW?

THAT GIRL LIVES IN A CLOUD.

KATHERYN, HOW ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT ALL OF THIS?

I USED TO GET UPSET AND TRY TO FIX EVERYTHING,

AND IT ALMOST KILLED ME.

NOW I HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO SIT HERE AND WATCH IT ALL FALL APART.

YOU DON'T MEAN THAT.

YES, I DO.

I GAVE EVERYTHING TO THESE PEOPLE,

AND THEY ALMOST KILLED ME FOR IT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

MY LOVING FAMILY ISN'T SO LOVING, VERONICA.

AND I AM TIRED OF PLAYING THE GAME.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

[ SIGHS ]

WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

YOU KNOW I CAN'T.

OH, THEN I'LL HAVE TWO.

[ CHUCKLES ] [ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HELLO?

YES, JEFFREY. CALM DOWN, SON.

YES.

I WILL MEET YOU AT YOUR FATHER'S CHAMBERS.

OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, HONEY.

[ SIGHS ]

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

MY SON ‐‐ ANOTHER CRISIS.

WHATEVER IT IS, I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE.

OKAY, GO ON. WELCOME BACK.

THANK YOU. OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

ABSOLUTELY. I'M RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. TAKE CARE, SWEETIE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SHOWER GLASS?

OH, UM, I BROKE IT.

HOW?

MY HAIRDRYER HIT IT.

SEE, I TOLD YOU.

I WAS HITTING IT, TOO,

WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DRY MY HAIR.

HM. WHY WOULD THEY PUT AN OUTLET

SO CLOSE TO THE OUTSIDE OF A SHOWER?

THERE HAS TO BE SOME CODE ABOUT THAT.

I'M NOT SURE.

YOU KNOW. YOU KNOW ABOUT ALL THE LAWS.

NO, NOT ALL OF THEM.

BUT THEY'RE COMING TOMORROW TO FIX IT.

OKAY, GOOD.

SO...

HERE YOU GO.

WHAT'S THIS?

YOUR GRANDFATHER'S WILL.

HOW'D YOU GET THIS?

I'M A LAW STUDENT, AND I'M QUITE CUTE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL, WAS I RIGHT?

YES.

YOU AND WYATT WERE BOTH NAMED IN THE TRUST

AND WERE SUPPOSED TO BE RECEIVING BENEFITS

SINCE YOU TURNED 18.

WOW.

WHERE IS IT?

YOUR MOTHER'S HOLDING IT.

FIGURES.

SHE'S SO CONTROLLING.

I KNOW.

SO, HOW MUCH IS IT?

$12 MILLION.

WHAT?!

MM‐HMM.

HOW DO I GET IT?

WE HAVE TO SUE YOUR PARENTS.

REALLY?

YES.

OKAY.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON MY MOM'S FACE

WHEN I TELL HER.

WELL, LET'S NOT DELAY THAT LOOK.

LET'S GO TELL THEM NOW.

YOU'LL GO WITH ME?

OF COURSE.

GIRL, I WILL BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE.

OKAY, COME ON. I'M IN.

[ HORNS HONK ]

[ TIRES SQUEAL ]

[ BREATHES HEAVILY ]

[ TIRES SQUEAL ]

[ GRUNTS ]

[ CAR THUDS, ENGINE REVS ]

I'M GOING HOME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU LOOK GOOD.

I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE MY OLD SELF AGAIN.

IS THAT A GOOD THING?

IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK!

Shh. HE'S IN THE NEXT ROOM.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I DON'T CARE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I'D HATE TO BE ON YOUR BAD SIDE.

LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER?

MM.

SHE ON MY BAD SIDE, TOO. [ CHUCKLES ]

YOU DON'T HAVE A BAD SIDE.

YES, I DO.

I MAY LOOK LIKE A BUTTERFLY, BUT I STING.

I CAN'T SEE IT.

ALTHOUGH, HMM...

WHEN YOU WERE PROTECTING YOUR SON,

YOU LOOKED LIKE A WOMAN WHO COULD RULE THE WORLD.

OH, YEAH.

HM.

THAT'S MY HEART.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SPEAKING OF WHICH, I BETTER GET GOING.

HE'S PROBABLY WAITING FOR ME AT HOME.

OKAY. MM.

GOOD NIGHT, HANNA.

GOOD NIGHT.

TAKE CARE. BE SAFE. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

WYATT!

I DIDN'T SEE HIM.

WHO? I THINK I KILLED HIM.

KILLED WHO?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

I THINK I KILLED HIM. HE WAS BENDING DOWN,

CHANGING A TIRE ‐‐ I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.

START ALL OVER. YOU HIT WHO?!

A MAN. JIM!

Jim: WHAT IS IT?!

CAN'T A MAN HAVE A MOMENT ‐‐ IT'S WYATT!

HE THINKS HE KILLED SOMEONE!

WHAT HAPPENED?!

Katheryn: START ALL OVER. CALM DOWN.

TAKE IT FROM THE TOP.

WHERE'S JEFFREY?

HE WASN'T WITH ME.

HEY, HEY. YOU LOOK AT ME.

Katheryn: BE CAREFUL. BE CAREFUL. BE CAREFUL.

ARE YOU HIGH? YES.

YES?! HIGH! DO NOT HIT HIM!

HOW THE HELL COULD YOU BE HIGH RIGHT NOW?!

MOM, I THINK I KILLED HIM.

HE IS HURT! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?!

MOM, I THINK I KILLED HIM.

HE NEED HELP. YOU THINK YOU KILLED HIM.

YOU ARE NOT SURE. YOU ONLY THINK YOU KILLED HIM.

SHUT UP! HE DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY!

JUST SHUT UP! I DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.

DON'T SAY "SHUT UP" TO HIM!

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S HURT?!

I'M NOT TALKING TO HIM! I'M TALKING TO YOU!

SHUT UP!

HANNA, GET OUT OF HERE. YOU DIDN'T HEAR A THING.

GO ON. GET OUT.

HE NEEDS SOME HELP, JIM. COME ON.

NO KIDDING. COME ON.

HEY, IT'S OKAY. OKAY.

THIS IS OUR SON. WE'LL BE FINE.

GET OUT OF HERE. I WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS!

GET OUT OF HERE! TAKE CARE OF IT, YEAH,

LIKE YOU TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.

HOW CAN YOU DO THINGS LIKE THIS?!

GET OUT OF HERE! THIS IS NOT THE TIME!

YOU CAN'T BE ARGUING WITH HIM!

HEY! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEE HIM.

COME HERE.

OKAY.

AS SOON AS I FINISH UP HERE,

WE CAN GET ON OUR WAY AND...

MOM.

JEFFREY, YOU LOOK A MESS.

MOM, DAD...

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY

UNTIL YOU FIX YOUR CLOTHES.

YOU ARE WALKING THROUGH THESE HALLS,

LOOKING LIKE A COMMON CRIMINAL, AND YOUR FATHER IS A JUDGE.

SOME OF THESE OTHER JUDGES MAY ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN

TO WALK AROUND LOOKING LIKE THAT,

BUT WE DON'T ALLOW THAT.

THEY EXPECT US TO LOOK LIKE THIS

BECAUSE WE'RE BLACK.

YOU KNOW WE DON'T ALLOW THAT.

FIX YOUR CLOTHES, HONEY.

VERONICA, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH OUR SON.

WHATEVER IT IS, I'M SURE IT'S FINE.

YOU KNOW HOW HE GETS. HE ALWAYS DOES THIS.

HE'S DONE IT EVER SINCE HE WAS A BABY.

ANY LITTLE THING OUT OF PLACE, AND HE OVERREACTS.

WELL, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.

I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

YOU CARE TO TELL ME?

IT'S WYATT.

I KNEW IT.

WHAT ABOUT WYATT?

HE TOOK MY CAR.

HOW DID HE GET YOUR KEYS?

HE TOOK THEM.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

START FROM THE BEGINNING, AND TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

OKAY, UM, WELL, IT'S LAURA.

I MEAN, SHE CAME AROUND,

AND WHEN SHE CAME AROUND,

ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED HAPPENING.

AND HE WAS FINE WHEN IT WAS JUST ME.

THEN HE STARTED TALKING TO HER ON THE PHONE,

AND THEN HE ‐‐ HE TRICKED ME,

AND IT'S JUST ‐‐ IT'S JUST AWFUL.

TRICKED YOU HOW? WHAT DID HE DO?

HE, UM, HE PRETENDED TO LIKE ME.

EXPLAIN.

HE PRETENDED TO BE GAY.

ALL RIGHT, SON,

HOW COULD HE TRICK YOU BY PRETENDING TO BE GAY?

WELL ‐‐ DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT.

VERONICA.

DON'T YOU DARE!

VERONICA, WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS.

NO, YOU HAVE DISCUSSED THIS.

I WON'T HEAR IT.

DISCUSSED WHAT?

I'VE TALKED TO YOUR MOTHER ABOUT ‐‐

DAVID!

WE HAVE ‐‐ DAVID.

WHAT GOOD IS IT NOT TO SAY ANYTHING?

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. MOM. MOM.

I'M NOT LISTENING TO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME TODAY.

MOM. CLEAN YOURSELF UP.

MOM, I'M GAY.

YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME THE SATISFACTION

OF LEAVING THE ROOM?

I'M SORRY, MOM, DAD.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, SON.

NO, IT ISN'T.

VERONICA, IT IS.

HAS EVERYONE GONE MAD? [ CHUCKLES ]

HONEY, YOU ARE NOT A HOMOSEXUAL.

YOU'RE NOT. YES, I AM.

[ SIGHS ]

WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BE A HOMOSEXUAL?

WHO ‐‐ WHO GAVE YOU THAT RIGHT?

WHO?

VERONICA, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

NO, IT ISN'T.

JEFFREY, YOU'RE BEING SELFISH.

SELFISH?

YES, THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU.

MOM, I'M JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT ‐‐

SHUT UP!

TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE SO SELF‐CENTERED.

TO THINK THAT YOU WOULDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT OUR FEELINGS,

OUR REPUTATION, YOUR FATHER'S PLATFORM.

SON...IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I LOVE YOU ANYWAY.

YOUR MOTHER LOVES YOU ANYWAY.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

VERONICA, HE IS STILL OUR SON.

OUR SON?

OUR SON WHO IS ATTRACTED TO MEN.

I‐I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM WYATT.

I‐I THOUGHT BY SPENDING TIME WITH HIM

THAT YOU WOULD GET INTERESTED IN GIRLS ‐‐

THAT HE COULD HELP YOU AS MUCH AS YOU WERE HELPING HIM.

BUT NOT YOU.

NO, YOU ‐‐ YOU ‐‐ YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM.

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.

I SAW THE WAY YOU LOOKED AT HIM.

I SAW THE WAY YOU LIT UP

EVERY TIME HE WOULD GIVE YOU A COMPLIMENT.

I SAW HOW UPSET YOU GOT EVERY TIME LAURA CAME AROUND.

WHO DO YOU THINK CALLED LAURA

WHEN AMANDA WENT IN THE HOSPITAL?

THAT WAS ME,

BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO SEE THAT HE WAS NOT THAT INTO YOU.

THAT THIS WHOLE HOMOSEXUALITY THING WAS

JUST A CHILDHOOD MOMENT THAT WOULD PASS.

HONEY, LET IT GO.

HE IS NO LONGER A CHILD.

HE KNOWS WHO HE IS.

YOU CALLED LAURA?

YES.

DOES THAT OFFEND YOU?

GOOD.

BECAUSE YOU ARE OFFENDING ME WITH THIS NONSENSE.

SO YOU CAUSED HIM TO TREAT ME THIS WAY?

OH, JEFFREY.

CANDACE WAS RIGHT.

CANDACE?

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?

SHE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO START LIVING FOR MYSELF.

AND IT'S TIME THAT I START DOING THAT.

SHE GOT TO YOU, TOO, HUH?

NO.

NO, MOM.

I'M JUST TIRED.

I'M TIRED OF HOLDING ONTO THIS.

I'M TIRED OF DENYING MYSELF FOR YOU.

AND YOU, DAD.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, SON, LET'S ‐‐

YOU AND YOUR MOTHER CALM DOWN,

AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS LATER AT HOME.

OKAY.

VERONICA?

[ SNIFFLES ]

WHEN I WAS A FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE,

I MET A MAN WHO SAID HE LOVED ME.

I THOUGHT HE DID

UNTIL HE FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT.

[ Voice breaking ] I HAD AN ABORTION.

I HAVE LIVED WITH THE GUILT OF THAT MY WHOLE LIFE.

AND THEN I MET YOUR FATHER.

WE TRIED SO MANY TIMES TO GET PREGNANT, BUT...

...IT JUST WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

YOU HAD A BROTHER.

HE WAS STILLBORN.

AND THERE WERE MISCARRIAGES.

AND I THOUGHT GOD WAS PUNISHING ME FOR THAT ABORTION.

BUT THEN WE GOT PREGNANT WITH YOU ‐‐

BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, BABY BOY.

I WAS SO PROUD TO GIVE MY HUSBAND A SON...

A BOY...

SOMEONE TO CARRY ON THE HARRINGTON NAME.

AND I THOUGHT ‐‐ I THOUGHT FOR SURE GOD ‐‐

GOD HAD FORGIVEN ME.

GOD HAD FORGIVEN ME FOR THAT ABORTION.

UNTIL NOW.

NOW I KNOW THAT HE'S STILL PUNISHING ME,

BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE IT.

YOU.

OUT OF ALL MY UNBORN CHILDREN.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE AT LIFE, BUT YOU...

...YOU MADE IT.

YOU STAYED.

YOU'RE HERE.

HOW DARE YOU BE A HOMOSEXUAL?

HOW DARE YOU?

YOU ARE A MAN.

HOW DARE YOU, JEFFREY?!

HOW DARE YOU BE A HOMOSEXUAL?!

[ SNIFFLES ] YOU ARE A MAN, JEFFREY!

[ Crying ] I AM A MAN! I AM A MAN, MOM!

I AM A GAY MAN!

AND YOU NEED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT.

YOU NEED TO BE OKAY WITH THAT, MOM!

Please.

I WILL NEVER BE OKAY WITH THAT.

Hanna: I HOPE THAT'S YOU AND YOU JUST FORGOT YOUR KEY AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU ALL DAY.

HI.

HI.

ARE YOU HANNA YOUNG?

YES, I AM.

I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS.
