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

MONEY WILL GET YOU THIS.

EVERYBODY, THIS IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

THIS IS CANDACE. HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU ALL.

SO, DOES THAT MEAN I'M HIRED?

DON'T THANK ME YET. YOU HAVEN'T MET MY FAMILY.

AMANDA, SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER. SHE CUTS HERSELF.

WYATT, HE'S OUR SON. HE'S IN REHAB.

WHAT KIND OF CON OR GAME ARE YOU RUNNING NOW?

YOU LOVE ME AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU.

YOU GOT IT. MY FIRST TOW TRUCK.

SOON I'M GONNA HAVE A FLEET OF THEM.

SHE FINDS OUT I MORTGAGED THIS HOUSE FOR YOU, SHE'S GONNA BE DEVASTATED.

YOU WILL HAVE SEVEN DAYS TO VACATE THE PREMISES.

I WANT $100,000.

YOU ARE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR!

Veronica: NOW, JIM WAS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH CANDACE YOUNG.

SHE WAS BLACKMAILING HIM FOR $100,000 AND A CAR.

YOU DELIVERED THAT CAR WITH TWO KILOS OF COCAINE IN IT.

APPARENTLY ALL THE EVIDENCE WENT MISSING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT JEFFREY?

THAT MAN IS GAY.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TOUCH ME WHEN YOU TALK TO ME?

I AM CLEAN. WELL, THEN STAY CLEAN!

I'M SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY IN THE MORNING.

THEY'RE GOING TO REMOVE MY BREAST.

Candace: SO, YOU'RE GONNA GO TO THE PROFESSOR

AND CONVINCE HIM TO GIVE YOU A MAKE‐UP TEST.

OH, MAN. AMANDA.

YOUR HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN AFFAIR.

YOUR NAME IS NINE.

WELL, I SAW THE PREGNANCY TEST IN THE BATHROOM.

I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BABY.

HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?

I'M HIS FATHER. MR. WATSON'S MY DADDY?

WY, TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME. I'M NOT GAY!

WYATT, NO!

Wyatt: SO, I TOOK MY CAR...

I KILLED HIM. HE WAS BENDING DOWN, CHANGING A TIRE. I DIDN'T ‐‐

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

I'M GAY. I WILL NEVER...

BE OKAY WITH THAT.

YOUR GRANDFATHER'S WILL. $12 MILLION.

WE HAVE TO SUE YOUR PARENTS.

SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

YOU ARE A PAWN, AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.

COME ON.

OKAY.

WHAT IS IT?

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?

AMANDA.

I'M SORRY, CANDACE. I'M JUST NOT SURE.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.

I KNOW, BUT SUING MY PARENTS FOR MY INHERITANCE, IT'S ‐‐

IF I KNOW YOUR PARENTS LIKE I KNOW MOST PEOPLE,

THEY WON'T WANT YOU TO SUE THEM.

THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

YOU DON'T KNOW MY MOM.

UH, YES. I DO.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WYATT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TROUBLE CHILD, NOT ME.

AND NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO CAUSE SOME TROUBLE.

IT'S YOUR MONEY.

I KNOW.

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MONEY.

IT'S ‐‐ IT'S EASY. I'LL SHOW YOU.

OKAY, I GET IT.

YOU DON'T TRUST ME.

NO, THAT'S NOT IT.

THEN PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS.

THIS IS $12 MILLION.

MAYBE IT'S BEST IF THEY KEEP IT AND I JUST LET THEM INVEST IT

AND MAKE SURE IT'S THERE WHEN I ACTUALLY NEED IT.

BUT YOU NEED IT NOW.

I DON'T NEED IT NOW.

OKAY.

YOUR MOTHER TOLD YOU THAT SHE WAS CUTTING YOU OFF

BECAUSE YOU'RE LIVING WITH ME.

ARE YOU READY TO MOVE BACK IN THERE

AND BE FORCED TO GO THROUGH LAW SCHOOL?

I COULD GET A JOB AT THE LIBRARY ON CAMPUS.

I SAW AN AD.

THAT'S $8 AN HOUR.

I CAN INTERN AT A LAW FIRM.

AMANDA. [ CLEARS THROAT ]

INTERNS AREN'T PAID.

99.9% OF INTERNS ARE NOT PAID.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

BUT IT'S YOUR MONEY.

YOUR GRANDFATHER LEFT IT TO YOU.

YOU CAN OPEN ANOTHER TRUST, ONE THAT YOU CONTROL,

ONE THAT GIVES YOU THE INTEREST

AND GIVES YOU A SMALL PAYMENT EVERY MONTH TO COVER YOUR BILLS.

AND THEN YOU COULD GO TO DESIGN SCHOOL AND BE HAPPY

AND NOT FEEL THE PRESSURES OF DOING WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO.

THAT WOULD BE NICE.

THE MONEY WILL BE PROTECTED, AMANDA.

YOU WILL BE THE ONE IN CONTROL.

JUST YOU.

REALLY?

YES.

NOW, DON'T WORRY, OKAY?

I DON'T WANT TO GO IN THERE AND CONFRONT YOUR PARENTS

IF YOU'RE NOT SURE.

MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T DO THIS, YOU KNOW?

NO, I‐I WANT TO.

LET'S DO IT.

ARE YOU SURE?

YES.

OKAY.

I NEED YOU TO FIND ALL THE STRENGTH

RIGHT NOW IN YOUR BODY.

OKAY.

BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT YOUR INDEPENDENCE.

OKAY.

OKAY.

YEAH, LET'S GO IN.

DAMN IT, JIM! ENOUGH OF THIS!

WHY ARE YOU SO PROTECTIVE OF HIM?

WELL, IF I HAD BEEN MORE PROTECTIVE OF HIM,

NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING, NOW WOULD IT?

SO, NOW IT'S MY FAULT? YES, IT'S YOUR FAULT.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AT CAMP WITH HIM THAT SUMMER, JIM.

OH, GIVE IT A REST, KATHERYN. YOU LEFT HIM THERE.

YOU WERE WITH FOUR! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?

WHERE WAS MOMMY WHEN HE NEEDED HER THE MOST?

DON'T YOU EVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON HIM AGAIN.

HE'S MY SON, TOO.

I CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT TO HIM.

OH, DON'T REMIND ME.

ARE YOU FORGETTING THAT HE ALSO HAS YOUR MISERABLE LINEAGE,

YOUR BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH HIS VEINS?

ARE YOU FORGETTING THAT?

THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL VERY FAR FROM THE TREE,

DOES IT, KATHERYN?

ARE YOU REFERRING TO MY FATHER? YES.

YOUR FATHER WAS A RAGING ALCOHOLIC.

HE WAS A DRUNK. DEAL WITH IT.

NO, NO, NO. YOU DON'T REFER TO HIM.

YOU REFER TO YOURSELF, JIM.

BECAUSE THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE

BECAUSE YOUR TREE IS ON THE SIDE OF A HILL.

SO HE IS AS FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN.

OUR SON WAS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WHO THE HELL KNOWS WHAT!

I KNOW THAT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP SAYING IT!

JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER

AND MISERABLE, MISERABLE DAD THAT YOU HAD.

NOW WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS BECAUSE ‐‐

THE HELL IS OUR MAID'S NAME?

HANNA HEARD ALL OF IT. I KNOW THAT.

SHE HEARD OF ALL OF IT, KATHERYN.

SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE HEARD ANY OF THAT.

AMANDA.

[ SIGHS ] WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

‐‐Captions by VITAC‐‐ www.vitac.com

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Katheryn: AMANDA. Jim: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?

MOM, WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING TO HER LIKE THAT?

GET OUT NOW, NINE.

MOM, STOP IT.

NINE, GET OUT OF HERE.

DAD! CANDACE.

NINE.

SWEETHEART, THIS IS REALLY NOT A GOOD TIME.

I'LL SAY. YOU TWO SEEM TO BE GOING AT IT.

IS THIS WHAT YOU DO WHEN NOBODY'S AROUND?

NO.

THIS IS NOT WHAT WE DO. THIS IS FINE.

BUT PLEASE JUST...GO.

I WILL.

SOON ENOUGH.

THIS LITTLE BITCH IS INSANE.

MOM!

SHUT UP, AMANDA.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE STANDING NEXT TO.

[ SIGHS ]

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.

NO. SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

MOM, I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU BE THIS RUDE TO ANYONE.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD ME TALK

TO ONE OF YOUR FATHER'S ‐‐ KATHERYN.

WHAT? SHUT UP.

GET HER THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE.

[ SIGHS ]

CANDACE, MY WIFE AND I

ARE HAVING A DISCUSSION OF A FAMILY NATURE.

IT'S REALLY NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.

IS IT WYATT?

[ SIGHS ] IT'S ALWAYS WYATT.

YES, IT'S WYATT.

SEE, I TOLD YOU, CANDACE. HMM.

YOU TOLD CANDACE WHAT?

THAT EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS ABOUT WYATT.

THEY NEVER GIVE ME TIME FOR ANYTHING.

WHAT DO YOU NEED, SWEETHEART? WHAT IS IT?

IT DOES NOT MATTER.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?

SHE IS NOT WELCOME.

SHE IS MY FRIEND.

OH, GIRL.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A FRIEND IS?

SO CONDESCENDING ALL THE TIME, AREN'T YOU?

THIS IS YOU.

YOU.

ALL OVER HER.

ME? OH, YES.

SHE'S SO SMUG AND DISRESPECTFUL TO ME NOW THAT SHE'S ‐‐

BECOMING A WOMAN.

NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL.

SPEAKING HER MIND,

TELLING YOU SHE HAS HOPES AND DREAMS AND THOUGHTS.

WOW.

WHAT A NOVEL IDEA.

INDEPENDENCE.

AND I SUPPOSE YOU'RE A WOMAN.

I KNOW A MAN WHO WILL ATTEST TO THAT.

ARE YOU REFERRING TO JIM?

KATHERYN, STOP IT.

I BELIEVE SHE DECIDED TO MAKE

A LITTLE CHESS MOVE IN MY LIVING ROOM, JIM.

AND I WILL SHOW HER HOW TO PLAY THE GAME.

SHALL WE?

MAKE YOUR MOVE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU SHOULD ASK YOUR FATHER.

KATHERYN, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW

OR I WILL SHUT IT FOR YOU, SO HELP ME.

AMANDA, YOUR MOTHER AND I

ARE HAVING A LITTLE FAMILY DISCUSSION.

AS SOON AS IT'S OVER, I PROMISE I WILL CALL YOU

AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT.

FINE.

FINE. NO.

NO?

YOU HEARD ME.

IT'S FINE, CANDACE.

YES, CANDACE, IT'S FINE.

NO, IT'S NOT.

YOU ALWAYS DO THIS.

YOU ALWAYS WALK AWAY OR GIVE IN.

AND THEN I HAVE TO LISTEN TO HOW UNHAPPY YOU ARE ALL NIGHT.

NOT TONIGHT.

THE ANSWER IS NOW.

JIM.

THEY DON'T CARE. MAKE THEM.

GET...OUT...OF...HERE.

STAND UP STRAIGHT, AMANDA.

SHOULDERS BACK.

NOW TELL THEM NO.

NO.

WOW.

JIM.

OUR LITTLE AMANDA HAS REALLY COME INTO HER OWN

SINCE SHE'S BEEN WITH THE CHRONOLOGICAL.

SHE HAS HER OWN MIND.

WHY DID YOU ROLL YOUR EYES WHEN SHE SAID THAT?

SWEETHEART.

WHY DID YOU ROLL YOUR EYES, MOM?

ANSWER ME.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT I CAN'T MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS?

DARLING, ARE YOU EVEN AWARE

THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING A ENTIRE CONVERSATION ABOVE YOUR HEAD

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS ROOM?

YES.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

WYATT.

KATHERYN, STOP IT RIGHT NOW. IT'S DISGUSTING.

[ SCOFFS ]

TELL THEM, AMANDA.

I WANT MY INHERITANCE.

WHAT?

CANDACE FOUND GRANDFATHER'S WILL.

THAT WILL IS SEALED.

HOW DID YOU GET IT?

NOW, YOU ‐‐ MM.

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, SEXY WOMAN COULD GET...

OR MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T.

YOU'RE NOT GETTING A DIME OF THAT MONEY.

YOUR INCAPABLE OF HANDLING IT ‐‐ ANY OF IT.

REALLY?

DO IT, CANDACE.

THAT WAS GOOD. REAL GOOD.

GLADLY. HERE.

WHAT'S THIS?

YOU'RE A JUDGE.

YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN YOU'VE BEEN SERVED.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

HMM.

WHAT IS IT?

IT SEEMS OUR SWEET LITTLE...INDEPENDENT AMANDA

IS SUING US FOR HER INHERITANCE.

NINE DID THIS.

YOU BETTER SHUT THAT LITTLE WHORE DOWN FOR GOOD, JIM.

OR I WILL.

DO YOU HEAR ME? I WILL!

I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?

[ SIREN WAILING ]

[ Woman on P. A.] DR. FOREST, DIAL 102, PLEASE.

DR. FOREST, PLEASE DIAL 102.

[ CRYING ] [ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

DR. FOREST, PLEASE DIAL 102.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME! YES?

I'M JUST TRYING TO CHECK ON MY SON.

LADY, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE

TRYING TO CHECK ON PATIENTS AROUND HERE. LOOK AROUND.

IS THE DOCTOR HERE?

YES. CAN I TALK TO HIM?

SO YOU WANT ME TO PULL HIM OUT OF SURGERY TO COME AND TALK TO YOU?

THERE ARE TWO DOCTORS ON CALL TONIGHT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

NO. I'LL WAIT.

THANK YOU.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG HE'LL BE?

WHEN YOU HEAR THE PATIENT'S NAME CALLED,

COME AND SPEAK TO THE DOCTOR.

NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME...

OOH.

I HATE COUNTY HOSPITALS.

DAMN, THESE PEOPLE WORK ON MY NERVES.

GO OUT ON A DAMN FRIDAY NIGHT, SHOOT AND STAB EACH OTHER,

THEN WE FIX THEM UP FOR THEM TO DO IT AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND.

MM‐HMM. IT'S SO DAMN IGNORANT.

YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK...NOW.

YES. I DO.

I NEED A CIGARETTE.

GO TAKE IT. THANK YOU.

UH, EXCUSE ME. WHAT WAS YOUR SON'S NAME?

BENNY. BENJAMIN YOUNG.

BENJAMIN YOUNG. UM...

HE CAME IN A FEW HOURS AGO.

HE WAS SHOT? NO, NO, NO.

A CAR ACCIDENT. CAR ACCIDENT. CAR ACCIDENT.

BENJAMIN YOUNG. I SEE HIM HERE.

UM...THERE'S NO UPDATES YET, SO...

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THAT MEANS HE'S PROBABLY IN SURGERY.

THE DOCTOR UPDATES AS HE CAN.

SO WHEN WE KNOW, YOU KNOW.

SO, I JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

I'M SORRY, MISS ‐‐ HANNA.

HANNA.

LOOK, IT'S...[SCOFFS] IT'S CRAZY.

FRIDAY NIGHTS, FULL MOONS.

WE SEE IT ALL DOWN HERE, SO...

WATCH THE DOOR. WATCH THE DOOR.

I WILL CHECK ON HIM, OKAY?

THANK YOU. I'LL GO CHECK.

WHAT HAPPENED?

6 YEARS OLD, HIT BY A DRIVER UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

THOSE ARE THE PARENTS.

THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE CHILD WAS MISSING.

OKAY. YOU HAVE TO STAY THERE.

DID YOU CALL THE POLICE?

[ Crying ] YES, I CALLED. WHERE ARE THEY?!

THEY DON'T COME AROUND HERE.

DAMN IT!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, GIRL?

IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

NOTHING'S EVER YOUR FAULT, IS IT?

EVER YOUR DAMN FAULT.

IT IS YOUR FAULT!

BUT I ‐‐ BUT I ‐‐ IF I DON'T ‐‐

OUT OF MY FACE. I'M SORRY.

I TOLD THAT JUDGE NOT TO GIVE YOU VISITATION.

I TOLD THE JUDGE! NOW LOOK.

NOW LOOK!

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT A TRYING DAY.

David: HONEY?

YES?

ALL THROUGH DINNER, NOT A WORD?

ABOUT?

JEFFREY. [ SIGHS ]

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS PHASE.

IT'LL PASS. LIKE THE TERRIBLE TWOS.

TERRIBLE TWOS? YES.

REMEMBER WHEN JEFFREY USED TO PULL EVERYTHING DOWN

OFF THE TABLE, BROKE MY GRANDMOTHER'S VASE?

VERONICA.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, DAVID.

YOU ARE WRONG. TERRIBLY WRONG.

AND YET YOU STILL BRING UP THIS SUBJECT.

YOU ARE NOT GONNA TELL ME THAT YOU DON'T LOVE OUR SON

JUST BECAUSE ‐‐

DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT.

JEFFREY IS GAY, VERONICA.

YOU NEED TO FACE IT.

NO, HE NEEDS TO FACE THE FACT THAT HE'S NOT.

SOMETIMES YOU ARE SO CONFUSING TO ME.

I'VE SEEN YOU BE SO OPEN‐MINDED ON SO MANY OTHER ISSUES.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I AM OPEN‐MINDED.

ARE YOU? YES!

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GAY PEOPLE.

[ SCOFFS ] SURELY YOU MUST.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ONLY SON BEING...

I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF THAT.

YOU SAID SOME TERRIBLY HURTFUL THINGS TO HIM.

WELL, WE'RE EVEN.

VERONICA, I'M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.

GREATLY DISAPPOINTED.

WELL...NEVER THOUGHT I'D HEAR YOU SAY THOSE WORDS.

WELL, HONEY, AT THIS POINT, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER.

WHAT IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO HIM?

SOMETHING CERTAINLY WILL HAPPEN TO HIM

IF HE CONTINUES DOWN THIS ROAD.

MEANING?

HEARTBREAK, DAVID.

EVERY DAY.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH HE'S GOT TO FIGHT THE FIGHT

OF BEING A BLACK MAN IN THIS WORLD

AND NOW HE'S GOT TO ADD...THAT TO IT.

I WON'T HAVE IT.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY CHILDREN COMMIT SUICIDE

BECAUSE THEY WOULD RATHER BE DEAD THAN COME OUT

AND FACE THE CRUELTY OF THIS WORLD?

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS WORLD.

I'M TALKING ABOUT MY SON.

YES. AND JEFFREY WOULD NOT DO THAT.

HE'S TOO STRONG FOR THAT.

EXACTLY. HE IS.

HE CAME OUT.

SO ALLOW JEFFREY TO BE WHO HE IS IN HIS OWN STRENGTH.

WE ARE NOT THE KIND OF PARENTS THAT WILL ALLOW THAT.

YOU ARE NOT THE KIND OF MOTHER WHO WOULD ALLOW THAT.

AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I'M GOING TO STAND BY MY SON.

DAVID, DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS FOOLISHNESS.

I'M NOT ENCOURAGING ANYTHING.

I AM ALLOWING HIM TO BE.

I LOVE MY SON, AND I'M GOING TO STAND BY HIM.

SO, YOU'RE TURNING AGAINST ME, TOO.

NO, I AM NOT TURNING AGAINST YOU.

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

NOR WILL I TURN AGAINST OUR SON.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, HONEY.

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

Amanda: DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON MY MOM'S FACE?

Candace: UH‐HUH. AND YOUR DAD'S.

YEAH. I LOVED IT.

GOOD. I FEEL SO GREAT.

WOW.

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WOULD FEEL THIS GOOD.

HMM.

IT'S NICE TO FEEL GOOD, HUH?

YEAH.

IS THAT JEFFREY?

JEFFREY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ARE YOU OKAY?

HE'S OKAY. [ CLEARS THROAT ]

AMANDA, CAN YOU GO MAKE US SOME TEA, PLEASE?

YEAH, SURE. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

NO RUSH. WE'LL BE UP IN A SECOND.

OKAY. YEAH.

LET ME GUESS. [ SIGHS ]

YOUR MOTHER FOUND OUT?

[ SNIFFLES ]

YEAH.

HOW DID SHE FIND OUT?

I TOLD HER.

TOLD HER WHAT?

THAT I'M GAY.

GLAD YOU CAN ADMIT IT.

WASN'T THAT BAD, WAS IT?

SCARY.

WHY?

JUDGMENT.

WHOEVER DOESN'T GET IT DOESN'T MATTER.

DOESN'T' WORK THAT WAY AROUND HERE, CANDACE.

THEN CHANGE IT.

[ SIGHS ]

IT'S NOT SO SIMPLE.

WHAT DID YOUR MOTHER SAY?

SHE WAS SO COLD.

JUST COLD.

SHE...

SHE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS SCUM.

LIKE I HAD TAKEN EVERY ONE OF HER DREAMS

AND TRAMPLED ON THEM.

YOUR DREAMS ARE NOT HER DREAMS.

JEFFREY, THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT FOR YOU.

AND WHAT CAN SHE DO TO YOU ANYWAY?

SHE CANCELED MY CREDIT CARDS.

SHE KICKED ME OUT OF MY APARTMENT, THE FACILITY.

SHE...CLOSED MY BANK ACCOUNTS,

FIRED ME, GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.

YEAH.

[ SNIFFLES ] YEAH.

SHE'S SERIOUS ABOUT HER CONTROL OVER YOU.

[ SNIFFLES ]

[ SIGHS ]

I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO GO.

YES, YOU DO.

YOU COULD STAY HERE WITH US. COME ON.

NO. NO, I‐I‐I CAN'T.

I‐I CAN'T DO THAT. UH, SURE YOU CAN.

UNTIL WE FIGURE THIS ALL OUT.

LET'S GO.

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO NICE TO ME?

LOOK AT ME.

BECAUSE YOU'RE FINALLY BEING NICE TO YOURSELF.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN REPAY YOU.

YOU'RE CUTE.

I COULD PIMP YOU OUT.

SCARY PART IS YOU'RE SERIOUS.

I'M KIDDING.

YEAH? YOU'RE KIDDING.

UM, A LITTLE BIT.

LET'S GO.

COME ON.

[ Woman on P. A. ] DR. FOREST, DIAL 182 PLEASE.

DR. FOREST, PLEASE DIAL 182.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

I BOUGHT A SODA AND TWO FELL.

WOULD YOU LIKE IT?

NO, THANK YOU.

C‐CAN I HAVE IT?

YOU SURE CAN.

DON'T CARE TO SAY THANK YOU?

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WHY AREN'T THESE DOCTORS GETTING BACK TO ME?

WHY AREN'T THEY TALKING TO ME?

YEAH, I KNOW. [ SCOFFS ]

I'VE BEEN WAITING, TOO.

THESE COUNTY HOSPITALS.

I WAS JUST SAYING THE SAME THING.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT MY SON

FOR TWO HOURS.

WON'T NOBODY TELL ME NOTHING.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

[ Voice breaking ] HE WAS IN A CAR WRECK.

OH, I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU.

AND I'M SORRY FOR Y'ALL, TOO.

I'M PRAYING.

WELL, PRAY FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER.

YES, I WILL.

I'M SORRY. I'M JUST SO UPSET, BUT...

...THAT'S MY HEART IN THERE. MM‐HMM.

YOU KNOW, SHE IS SO SWEET.

SO INNOCENT.

SO PURE.

I KNOW THE FEELING.

I WAS RAISING MY GRANDBABY FOR A FEW YEARS.

TILL MY DAUGHTER TOOK HIM FROM ME.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE YOUNG KIDS TODAY?

MM‐HMM. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER.

LOOK AT HER, TWITCHING.

SHE WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE SO BAD.

SHE WANT TO GET HIGH.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO?

I'M NOT LEAVING MY BABY.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE COMING DOWN ON THAT HIGH.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU DO.

I'M...FINE.

HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE HER UNATTENDED LIKE THAT?

I ONLY LOOKED AWAY FOR A SECOND!

YOU'RE A LIAR. YOU ARE.

YOU WERE GETTING HIGH.

I WASN'T!

[ SNIFFLES ]

DR. KRAVITZ, YOU HAVE A VISITOR IN THE MAIN LOBBY.

DR. KRAVITZ, A VISITOR IN THE MAIN LOBBY.

MICHAEL.

OH, REVEREND.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M NOT GOOD. I'M NOT GOOD.

HAVE THE POLICE BEEN HERE YET?

NO. THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU.

YOU KNOW THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS

TO THE LITTLE BLACK KIDS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

WELL, I CALLED THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

HE'S SENDING SOMEONE DOWN HERE.

FINALLY. [ SIGHS ]

I TOLD THAT JUDGE THEY SHOULDN'T GIVE HER CUSTODY.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM THE DOCTORS YET?

THEY WON'T TALK TO US.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS DOWN HERE IN THESE PUBLIC HOSPITALS.

I'LL TRY TO FIND SOMETHING OUT.

THANK YOU. SURE.

REVEREND, EXCUSE ME.

THIS LADY RIGHT HERE,

S‐SHE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT HER SON, TOO.

YOU DO? YES, I DO.

HIS NAME IS BENNY YOUNG.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

HIT AND RUN. AND LEFT IN THE STREETS.

DOES HE DRIVE A TOW TRUCK?

YES.

YOU KNOW HIM?

WAS HE ON MATTHEWS?

THAT'S WHAT THE POLICE SAID.

MY GOD.

THE SAME MAN THAT RAN OVER YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER

TURNED THE CORNER AND HIT YOUR SON.

NO, WHAT?! I'M SORRY.

HE JUST KEPT GOING?

HIT THAT LITTLE GIRL AND BENNY AND JUST KEPT ‐‐

I SAW.

SAW WHO, BABY? MY SON?

THE MAN WHO DID IT.

Both: WHAT? YEAH.

WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ANYBODY?!

MICHAEL. WHERE?

WHERE WAS HE?

HE WAS AT THE PARTY.

GETTING HIGH WITH YOU, RIGHT?

HE LEFT.

WHAT WAS HE DRIVING?

ALL BLACK, FOUR‐DOOR CAR.

WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?

UH, HE WAS A WHITE MAN. HE HAD BLACK HAIR.

HE HAD NICE CLOTHES ON, NICE SHOES ON.

I COULD TELL HE WAS FROM ACROSS THE TRACKS.

I COULD TELL FROM THE WAY HE LOOKED WHEN HE WALKED IN.

Michael: DID YOU GET HIS NAME?

NO. THEY WAS GONNA ROB HIM.

WHO?

FRANKLIN AND BRUTE.

TINA, THINK. TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

HE ‐‐ HE ‐‐ HE FOUGHT THEM OFF, HE GOT IN HIS CAR,

BUT HE WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY.

[ Crying ] HE GOT TURNED AROUND IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

CAME BACK DOWN THE STREET, AND HE WAS FLYING.

HE HIT LIZZIE.

AND THEN HE WAS GONE.

WHEN THE POLICE GET HERE, I NEED YOU TO TALK TO THEM.

WE GONNA TRY TO GET A SKETCH ARTIST DOWN HERE,

AND WE GONNA FIND OUT WHO DID THIS.

[ CRYING ]

THERE ARE NO CALLS.

I'M SORRY. DID I WAKE YOU?

NO.

[ SIGHS ]

MY BROTHER... [ CLEARS THROAT ]

WE USUALLY SPEAK TWICE A DAY,

AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM ALL DAY.

[ BEEPING ]

IT'S CRAZY.

I CAN'T SLEEP.

DO YOU WANT A DRINK?

NO.

MAYBE THERE ARE TOO MANY LIGHTS ON.

[ SIGHS ] YEAH.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

YOU KNOW YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT WYATT.

THAT HE'S STRAIGHT?

I KNOW.

WAS I ALSO RIGHT ABOUT YOU BEING IN LOVE WITH HIM?

CANDACE, JUST STOP. JEFFREY, COME ON.

WE'RE TALKING. [ SIGHS ]

YES.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HEARTACHE IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I TOLD YOU.

I LOVE THE KIDS.

THAT'S NOT ALL.

WHAT? THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THERE.

SOMETHING LIKE?

COME ON.

OBVIOUSLY YOU FORGET I'M A PSYCHOLOGIST.

AND YOU FORGET THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A DEGREE YET.

OKAY, H‐HOW DO YOU EVEN...

AMANDA, RIGHT. MM‐HMM.

WELL, I WAS THREE CREDITS SHY.

[ SIGHS ]

WELL, ALMOST DR. JEFFREY...

...ANALYZE ME.

OKAY.

YOU'RE ALWAYS CALCULATING.

ALL THE TIME.

YOU SEEK STIMULUS, CANDACE.

LOTS OF CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.

AND NOT THAT B. S.

ABOUT YOUR PARENTS IN THE WITNESS‐PROTECTION PROGRAM.

YOU THRIVE ON DRAMA.

YOU'RE ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF EVERYBODY.

SELLING YOUR BODY ISN'T ABOUT MONEY.

IT'S ABOUT POWER, CONTROL.

YOU USE YOUR BODY LIKE A WEAPON,

TAKING OUT EVERY MAN YOU THINK IS A TARGET.

LIKE JUDGE CRYER.

HMM.

YEAH, OKAY. THERE'S NO NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

I KNOW.

I KNOW IT'S TRUE BY THE CONTROL YOU'RE EXERCISING RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T SEE EVERYTHING,

BUT I DON'T MISS ANYTHING.

AND, CANDACE, YOU HAVE A WEAKNESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS YET.

MAYBE YOUR BROTHER, BUT THEN AGAIN,

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYBODY UNLESS YOU LIKE THEM.

THEN THEY'RE ALL TOYS TO YOU

UNTIL YOU GET TIRED OF PLAYING WITH THEM.

AND IF THEY MAKE YOU ANGRY,

WHEW...YOU RUN OVER THEM LIKE ROADKILL.

HMM.

I HAD A COUSIN.

HIS NAME WAS STEVE.

HE CALLED HIMSELF LADY DIAMOND.

HE WAS A TRANSVESTITE, AND HE LOVED ME SO MUCH.

HE WAS FIERCE.

FROM THE TIME I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,

I WOULD SNEAK OUT WITH HIM.

[ CHUCKLES ]

AND FROM THE TIME HE WAS A LITTLE KID,

HE CAUGHT HELL IN THE HOOD FOR BEING GAY AND FEMININE.

AND I WANTED TO KICK EVERYBODY'S ASS

WHO HAD SOMETHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT HIM.

HE SHOWED ME THE ROPES, BUT NOT THE GOOD ONES.

[ CHUCKLES ] HE WAS SO GOOD AT BEING BAD.

I HAVE NOTHING ON HIM.

HE TURNED TRICKS FOOLING GUYS,

ROBBING THEM, CONNING THEM.

WHEN WE WERE LITTLE, HE WOULD F‐‐

FLOOD THE BASEMENT IN THE PROJECTS

JUST TO GET RID OF THE RATS,

AND WE WOULD BE SO EXCITED WHEN HE WOULD DO IT.

I WOULD WATCH ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS COME OVER

AND BET ON WHICH RAT WOULD MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.

WHEN THE WATER WOULD RISE, WE WOULD WATCH THESE RATS

SWIM TO THIS BOARD THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WATER.

AND THEY WOULD START TO KILL EACH OTHER

WHEN IT GOT CROWDED.

AND IT WAS THE SAME RAT THAT ALWAYS MADE IT.

AND MY COUSIN WOULD SAY,

"THAT'S MY BAD BITCH RIGHT THERE JUST LIKE CANDY CANE."

HE CALLED ME CANDY CANE.

HE SAID, "CANDY CANE, YOU MY BAD BITCH.

AND YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO TO GET OUT OF HERE."

HE BELIEVED IN ME.

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE MET HIM. [ CLEARS THROAT ]

HE WOULD HAVE ‐‐ HE WOULD HAVE READ YOU UP AND DOWN.

OH, L‐LIKE YOU DID?

NO, HONEY. WORSE.

[ SIGHS ] SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

HE FOOLED THE WRONG GUY.

THEY FOUND HIM HUNG WITH HIS PENIS CUT OFF.

DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT?

I DON'T HAVE A PENIS.

NO, NO, NO. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[ CHUCKLES ] JEFFREY.

I FEAR NOTHING.

HMM.

THAT'S SCARY.

WHY?

IF YOU FEAR NOTHING, THEN YOU LOVE NOTHING.

YOU SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP.

YOU HAVE A NEW LIFE TO START TOMORROW.

I'M ‐‐ UM, CANDACE.

THANK YOU.

I'M YOUR BAD BITCH?

YOU'RE MY BAD BITCH.

[ CHUCKLES ]

GOOD NIGHT, JEFFREY. GOOD NIGHT.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

[ SIGHS ] WHAT'D THEY SAY, REVEREND?

YOUR SON'S STILL IN SURGERY.

IS HE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

THEY DON'T KNOW YET.

WHAT ABOUT MY GRANDBABY? REVEREND, SAY SOMETHING.

SHE DIED. NO!

WHAT?!

I'M SO SORRY.

NO! DON'T TELL ME THAT.

WE GONNA GET THIS GUY.

AS THERE IS A GOD, WE GONNA GET THIS GUY.

SHE'S DEAD?

YES.

WE GOT TO GET HIM. [ SNIFFLES ]

WE GOT TO GET HIM. WE WILL.

TINA.

TINA.

Y‐YES.

I NEED YOU TO GET THIS TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING DOWN TO THAT POLICE STATION.

I NEED YOU TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.

[ Crying ] DO WE HAVE ‐‐ DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS NOW?

YES, CHILD.

WHILE IT'S STILL FRESH IN YOUR MIND.

[ SNIFFLES ]

OKAY.

I'M SO SORRY.

[ SNIFFLES ]

I HOPE YOUR SON PULLS THROUGH.

THANK YOU.

[ KATHERYN CRYING ]

WOW.

IT DOES CRY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WE HAVE ONE RULE, KATHERYN, ONE VERY SIMPLE RULE.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OUR RULES.

JUST ‐‐ JUST GET OUT OF HERE.

OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE PRESENT,

YOU AND I ARE SUPPOSED TO AT LEAST PRETEND TO BE UNIFIED.

REMEMBER?

WELL, NOT TONIGHT. FINE BY ME.

THE FURTHER AWAY I GET FROM YOU, THE BETTER IT IS.

THE FEELING IS MUTUAL.

WHERE'S WYATT? IS HE STILL ASLEEP?

WHY? WHY?

BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM. THAT'S WHY.

YOU MEAN THROW HIM AROUND? OH, PLEASE.

YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE‐‐ GO AHEAD.

JUST PRETEND THAT IT'S ALL MY FAULT.

I'M THE REASON WHY THE CHILDREN TURNED OUT SO BAD.

GOD FORBID YOU SHOULD EVER TAKE

ANY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING.

I WANT AMANDA AWAY FROM YOUR WHORE.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

YES, OF COURSE I HEAR YOU ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT.

HOW CAN I HELP BUT HEAR YOU, KATHERYN?

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR ACCUSATIONS,

THEY SOUND LIKE THE SAME THING TO ME.

NAG, NAG, NAG.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? WHAT?

YOU USED TO BE SUCH A SON OF A BITCH.

YOU WOULD HAVE EATEN THAT LITTLE GIRL ALIVE.

I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO SAY A THING.

YOU HAVE ANNIHILATED HER.

WHY SHOULD I BOTHER SINCE YOU WEAR MY PANTS SO WELL?

WELL, SOMEBODY HAS TO THESE DAYS.

SHE REALLY DID A NUMBER ON YOU, DID SHE?

REALLY DID A NUMBER.

WHAT'D SHE MAKE YOU THINK?

THAT YOU WERE STILL YOUNG AND STILL SEXY?

HA!

HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THE MIRROR LATELY, DARLING?

[ CHUCKLES ]

DID YOU REALLY JUST ASK ME THAT QUESTION? HMM?

YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HER.

DAMN IT. YOU FOUND ME OUT.

YES, KATHERYN CRYER, I LOVE CANDACE.

DOES THAT HURT YOU?

I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU THE SATISFACTION

OF KNOWING WHAT HURTS ME.

BELIEVE ME, SWEETHEART,

IF I COULD FALL IN LOVE WITH HER JUST TO HURT YOU,

I'D DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO DO JUST THAT.

BUT FORTUNATELY FOR YOU, THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

I DON'T LOVE HER, KATHERYN. SORRY.

GOOD FOR YOU.

'CAUSE I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK

YOU'RE GETTING SOFT IN YOUR OLD AGE.

IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

OH, I'M JUST AS HARD AS EVER.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE CHANCE TO SEE IT ANYMORE, THOUGH.

I'VE SEEN YOUR IDEA OF HARD, DARLING,

AND TRUST ME, DOES NOTHING FOR ME.

REALLY?

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR EYES ARE SAYING, KATHERYN.

THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR MOUTH IS SAYING.

WHAT YOUR MOUTH IS SAYING IS THAT YOU WANT ME NOW, BAD.

RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT HERE.

BUT SINCE I'M NOT INTERESTED,

YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE TO PRETEND TO HATE ME.

HOW'S THAT?

THIS ISN'T PRETENDING, DARLING.

OH.

RIGHT.

GO TO HELL. SHOW ME THE WAY.

NEED I REMIND YOU WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

IF NINE GETS AHOLD OF AMANDA'S MONEY?

SHE WON'T. OR IF THIS GOES PUBLIC?

I'LL HANDLE IT.

FOR GOOD, JIM.

YOU WILL HANDLE THIS FOR GOOD.

DID YOU HEAR ME? YES!

YES, I HEARD YOU.

AND I WANT AMANDA BACK IN THIS HOUSE.

IT'D BE A HELL OF A LOT EASIER IF YOU HADN'T CHASED HER OFF.

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM.

[ SCOFFS ]

AND DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT.

NICE ONE. [ TURNS ON T. V. ]
