OH, KATHERYN! [ SCREAMS ]

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

OOH, LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT AN ADMIRER.

I SPOKE TO THE M. E.,

AND HE IS GOING TO RULE IT AS A SUICIDE.

BUT THAT TRAGEDY ACTUALLY SAVED HIS CAMPAIGN.

HE'LL PROBABLY WIN.

WHAT TRAGEDY? HIS DAUGHTER.

SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

YOU SEE B...

HE'S GONNA WONDER WHERE YOU GOT ALL THIS MONEY FROM.

I TOLD HIM THAT I TOOK THE BAR AND I GOT A JOB.

I'LL TELL THE D.A. EVERYTHING.

GONNA TELL THEM ABOUT JIM AND HIS WHORES,

ABOUT YOUR MOTHER KEEPING THE CAR.

I'M SICK OF IT!

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?

UH, MR. CRYER, UH, WYATT WAS JUST ‐‐

HE WAS JUST VENTING, YOU KNOW?

JEFFERY, SHUT UP.

WYATT. WHAT DID YOU SAY?

JEFFERY, GET OUT OF MY WAY.

JIM?

NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO CLAM UP, WYATT.

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT. SAY IT AGAIN.

WHATEVER HE SAID, WE'RE ALL HURTING.

YEAH, WE'RE ALL HURTING, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE HIM THE RIGHT

TO SAY WHAT HE SAID. SAY IT AGAIN.

WHAT THE HELL GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?

WHAT? ARE YOU DEAF?

WHAT THE HELL GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO BEHAVE THE WAY YOU DO?

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?

UNFORTUNATELY, MY SORRY‐ASS FATHER.

OH, UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR SORRY‐ASS FATHER?

IS THAT IT? UNFORTUNATELY?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT! YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO THIS.

WHAT IS GOING ON?! STOP IT!

STOP IT! YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!

REALLY? YEAH.

WHY DON'T YOU ENLIGHTEN US, WYATT CRYER, OTHER THAN THE FACT

THAT WE'RE MOURNING THE LOSS OF YOUR SISTER.

MR. CRYER, HE DIDN'T MEAN IT.

JEFFERY, STAY OUT OF THIS.

FOR THE LAST TIME, WHAT IS GOING ON?

I OVERHEARD OUR SON SAY "NO WONDER AMANDA CHECKED OUT."

BUT HE DIDN'T MEAN IT.

JEFFERY, I SAID STAY OUT OF IT.

I THINK HE DID MEAN IT. AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD

TO MAKING HIM EAT EVERY SINGLE LAST WORD.

LIKE TO YOU SEE YOU TRY, YOU SON OF A BITCH.

OH, NO. NO. JIM, DON'T. DON'T.

OH.

SO, THE BIG MAN IS DRINKING AGAIN.

ISN'T THAT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE?

[ GLASS CLINKS ] PUT IT DOWN.

EXCUSE ME. I GOT THIS.

I WANT TO SEE YOU WALK YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND TAKE IT.

NO. DAVID.

I SAID PUT THE BOTTLE DOWN.

OH, YOU WANT TO DRINK? YOU WANT TO DRINK? THERE! DRINK IT!

WYATT! JIM!

DRINK ALL YOU WANT! SON OF A BITCH!

JIM!

WYATT!

[ GRUNTS ]

STOP IT! STOP IT!

COME ON! YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE?

STOP IT! YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE?

ALL RIGHT, JIM, YOU'VE MADE YOUR ‐‐

NO! ENOUGH!

Veronica: JEFFERY, LET HIM GO!

ENOUGH! ENOUGH! UNGRATEFUL SON OF A BITCH!

OH, YEAH? I GET IT FROM YOU!

IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH!

ENOUGH OF THIS!

ENOUGH OF THIS. HOW DARE YOU.

JEFFERY, LET HIM GO.

JEFFERY, I SAID LET HIM GO, BOY!

NO! NO!

YOU ARE GETTING BESIDE YOURSELF.

WYATT, I WANT YOU TO GO TO YOUR ROOM

AND STAY THERE UNTIL I TELL YOU TO COME OUT.

GO TO HELL. ENOUGH. ENOUGH.

LET ME GO!

WHAT MAKES THIS ENOUGH, MOM?

AMANDA KILLING HERSELF MAKES THIS ENOUGH?

WYATT, PLEASE. WHAT MAKES THIS ENOUGH NOW?

YOU WILL NOT DO THIS.

WHY THE HELL NOT? NOT NOW.

WHY WASN'T IT ENOUGH WHEN DAD WAS SLEEPING WITH CELINE

AND CANDACE AND HEATHER AND VANESSA AND LISA AND MARGOT

AND ALL OF MY BABYSITTERS AND MY HIGH SCHOOL MATH TEACHER?

HUH?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I...READ ALL THE E‐MAILS.

[ CELLPHONE CLATTERS ]

ALL OF THEM. ALL THE E‐MAILS.

FOR YEARS.

AND THE ONES YOU WROTE TO YOURSELF

TO REMEMBER YOUR CONQUESTS?

AND HOW PROUD OF YOURSELF YOU ARE?

YOU MAKE ME SICK.

I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE

THE DISDAIN THAT I HAVE FOR YOU.

JIM?

WHEN YOU LEFT ME AT THAT CAMP...

WITH THAT PRIEST'S HANDS ALL OVER ME...

YOU WERE WITH CELINE THAT VERY DAY!

[ Voice breaking ] YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE AT WORK!

YOU COULDN'T COME.

YOU WERE THERE EVERY DAY.

[ GRUNTS ANGRILY ]

SAY SOMETHING!

SAY SOMETHING.

SAY SOMETHING!

RIGHT.

WYATT!

JEFFERY, LET HIM GO, SON.

GO AFTER HIM.

I SAID LET HIM GO.

NOW, YOU SHOULD GO HOME.

GO HOME.

YOUR GUEST IS PROBABLY WAITING FOR YOU.

IS MELISSA AT YOUR HOUSE?

NO.

THEN, WHAT GUEST IS SHE REFERRING TO?

HE KNOWS.

NOW GO HOME.

JEFFERY...

YOU SHOULD GO UPSTAIRS AND TALK TO WYATT.

I'M JUST GONNA GO HOME.

JEFFERY. I'M GONNA GO HOME.

JEFFERY?

USE THE BACK DOOR, SON.

WHERE ARE YOUR LIMITS?

[ DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

JUST OUT OF REACH OF YOURS.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HI, JEFFERY, I JUST HEARD. PLEASE CALL ME BACK.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPING ]

HELLO? HEY.

HI. IT'S MAMA.

What about her? SHE WANTS TO COME SEE YOU.

WHAT?

SHE SAID SHE WANTS TO COME SEE YOU.

Why? I DON'T KNOW.

DID YOU TELL HER ABOUT MY NEW JOB?

No, not yet.

WELL, THEN, WHAT DOES SHE WANT?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GONNA BRING HER BY AND SEE YOU.

NO, BENNY. I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS.

LISTEN, I'M GONNA BRING HER BY, ALL RIGHT?

BENNY, I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE FIGHTING WITH HER.

NO, I DON'T ‐‐ I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.

THEN WHAT IS IT?

I THINK SHE'S JUST SAD ABOUT HER BOSS' DAUGHTER DYING,

SO SHE SAID SHE WANTS TO COME SEE YOU.

[ SIGHS ]

SHE PROBABLY THINKS I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

The girl committed suicide.

HOW COULD YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT?

WELL, YOU KNOW OUR MOTHER. SO...

BENNY, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO ‐‐

LISTEN, I'M GONNA BRING HER BY.

WELL, THEN, I WON'T BE HERE.

Yes, you will, all right? Stop it.

NOW, I GOT TO GO. SHE'S OUTSIDE WAITING ON ME, ALL RIGHT?

I'M GONNA SEE YOU IN A FEW. [ SIGHS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

Hello? HEY. IT'S ME.

JEFFERY.

So, you heard?

IS IT TRUE? YEAH.

WHAT THE HELL? WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO TELL YOU, CANDACE.

I‐I KNOW, BUT I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS SUICIDAL.

WELL, I TRIED TO TELL YOU.

I‐I really did.

I DO FEEL HORRIBLE. So do I.

AND I JUST LEFT THE CRYERS. THEY'RE A MESS.

I'm sure.

UM, WHAT DID JIM SAY? WHAT? WAIT, NO.

No, what? NO.

I'm not doing this. NOT DOING WHAT?

GIVING YOU INFORMATION.

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR INFORMATION.

WELL, THEN, DON'T ASK ME ABOUT HIM.

OKAY.

SHE WAS MY FRIEND.

AND MINE, TOO, JEFFERY. Be honest.

YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT THAT GIRL.

I REALLY DID LIKE HER.

WELL, SHE LOVED YOU.

I KNOW.

She looked up to you, Candace.

AND SHE WANTED TO BE LIKE YOU.

DID SHE?

YES, SHE DID.

[ SIGHS ] THIS IS REALLY SAD.

I know.

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT WAS AVOIDABLE.

WHAT? All the trauma, this...

I KNOW QUINCY TOLD HER ABOUT YOU AND HER DAD,

BUT THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE,

SOMETHING ELSE THAT WOULD MAKE HER BREAK,

SOMETHING ‐‐ SOMETHING REALLY TRAUMATIC.

I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK YOU DO.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW, CANDACE?

NO, JEFFERY, I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, THEN, YOU REALLY NEED TO THINK OF SOMETHING.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE CRYERS ALWAYS NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME,

AND RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE THE MOST CONVENIENT.

WELL, I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

THAT WON'T MATTER. [ SIGHS ]

WELL, LET THEM BRING IT.

I'M NOT KIDDING. ME, NEITHER.

All right.

WELL, LOOK, I GOT TO GO.

I'M SORRY. I know. So am I.

AND BY THE WAY, ARE YOU SAFE?

YES. I'M AT THE SARANDON.

THANK YOU FOR THE HOOKUP.

SURE.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.

OH. AND JEFFERY, WAIT.

YEAH?

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT THING WITH MY BROTHER.

You know what?

DON'T EVEN MENTION THAT. I GOT YOUR MESSAGE.

JUST DON'T SEND ANYBODY ELSE TO MY PLACE, PLEASE.

[ SIGHS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HELLO?

HELLO?

GREAT.

HI, DR. MUSTON.

THIS IS VERONICA HARRINGTON.

COULD YOU PRESCRIBE SOMETHING FOR MY FRIENDS?

THEY ARE DEVASTATED OVER THE LOSS OF THEIR DAUGHTER.

YES.

YES, YOU SAW IT ON THE NEWS.

YES, SHE IS HYSTERICAL.

CAN YOU HAVE SOMEONE BRING SOMETHING OVER RIGHT AWAY?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OKAY. BYE‐BYE.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

WHY ARE YOU FORCING THAT GIRL ON JEFFERY?

FORCING WHAT GIRL?

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

APPARENTLY, HE LIKES IT. AND SHE LIKES HIM.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT FOR JEFFERY?

WHAT?

DO YOU WANT HIM TO DO WHAT AMANDA DID?

OH, DAVID.

I THINK YOU'RE TOUCHING ME. YES.

I THINK YOU'RE TOUCHING ME, AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME

EVER SINCE YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON THAT WHORE.

NOW LET ME GO.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FOR OUR SON?

DAVID, JEFFERY IS NOT MENTALLY ILL.

NO, BUT IT SEEMS HIS MOTHER IS.

MY, MY.

HMM.

YOU ARE REALLY SOMEONE ELSE

NOW THAT THAT WHORE HAS BEEN IN YOUR EAR.

NO, NO, NO. DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

YOU'RE SEEING YOURSELF DIFFERENTLY NOW, HUH?

I SEE MYSELF AND MY SON AS WE ARE.

NOW, DO YOU WANT TO GET A CALL THAT OUR SON HAS TAKEN HIS LIFE

BECAUSE HE COULDN'T COPE

WITH WHAT HIS MOTHER IS PUTTING HIM THROUGH?

JEFFERY LIKES MELISSA.

ARE YOU THAT DELUSIONAL? NO, BUT YOU MUST BE.

JEFFERY IS NOT INTO THAT GIRL.

WELL, WHY ARE THEY HAVING SEX?

THEY ARE NOT. YES, THEY ARE.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? BECAUSE HE TOLD ME.

[ SCOFFS ]

OH, YOU'RE JEALOUS?

[ SCOFFS ]

YOU'RE JEALOUS BECAUSE OUR SON IS TELLING ME

ABOUT HIS SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS, AND HE'S NOT TELLING YOU.

AND THAT'S WHAT FATHERS DO, RIGHT?

[ CHUCKLES ] WELL, MAYBE IF YOU TELL HIM

EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE DOING WITH MAGGIE,

THEN, HE WILL TELL YOU WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM.

I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN.

I'M NOT HAVING SEX WITH THAT WOMAN.

LIAR.

AND JEFFERY IS NOT INTERESTED IN THAT GIRL.

STILL LYING.

AND YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF IF YOU THINK

THAT HE'S INTERESTED IN THAT GIRL OR ANY OTHER GIRL.

JEFFERY IS INTERESTED IN THAT GIRL,

AND SHE IS INTERESTED IN HIM.

AND I'M GOING TO CALL MELISSA,

AND I'M GOING TO TELL HER THAT HE IS GAY

AND SHE NEEDS TO FIND SOMEBODY WHO'S INTERESTED IN HER.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I WILL CALL HER FOR YOU.

DON'T DARE ME. GIVE ME YOUR PHONE.

GIVE ME YOUR PHONE!

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HELLO? HI, MELISSA?

MRS. HARRINGTON. Hi, sweetie.

How are you? I'M OKAY.

GOOD.

What can I do for you?

I'M SO SORRY TO CALL YOU THIS LATE.

IT'S OKAY.

BUT I'M HERE WITH JEFFERY'S FATHER,

AND HE HAS SOMETHING HE'D LIKE TO SAY TO YOU.

Okay.

HERE YOU GO.

HELLO, MELISSA?

HI. Hi.

UH, I KNOW IT'S LATE,

SO I'M NOT GOING TO BEAT AROUND THE BUSH.

JEFFERY IS GAY,

AND HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN YOU, OKAY?

NOW, I KNOW YOU'RE A VERY NICE GIRL,

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND A VERY NICE GUY.

Seeing my son is going nowhere.

MM.

HELLO?

HEL‐‐ HI.

ARE YOU THERE? Yes.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?

YES, I DID.

WELL, THERE'S NO POINT IN YOU SEEING JEFFERY ANYMORE.

BUT WE HAVE PLANS TOMORROW,

AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S GAY?

YES, I DO.

BUT I REALLY LIKE HIM.

AND, EVENTUALLY, HE'LL LIKE ME, TOO.

I'm sure of it.

MELISSA.

NOW, YOU ‐‐

SWEETHEART, LISTEN, THANK YOU.

WE'LL TALK LATER?

ALL RIGHT. BYE‐BYE.

BYE.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

OH, YOU KNOW, YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY, THEY ‐‐

[ CHUCKLES ] IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM

THE WAY IT WOULD TO SOMEONE OF OUR GENERATION, YOU KNOW?

NO, NO, YOU'RE UP TO SOMETHING.

ME? NO.

YOU ARE UP TO SOMETHING.

DAVID...

WHY DON'T YOU HEAD TO THE HOTEL, SEE THAT STICK?

I'M SURE SHE MISSES YOU.

NO.

I'M COMING HOME.

AGAIN.

I DARE YOU.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

HEY.

HEY.

CAN WE COME IN?

SURE.

[ SIGHS ]

THIS IS NICE.

THANKS.

EXPENSIVE.

YEAH.

WHO'S PAYING FOR IT?

ONE OF MY MEN. YOU KNOW I'M HOEING.

STOP IT.

WHAT? SHE ASKED.

STOP.

WHAT IS THIS?

TELL HER. TELL HER WHAT?

JUST TELL HER.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE TELLING HER?

SHE WANTED TO SEE ME.

MOM, CANDACE PASSED THE BAR.

SHE GOT A NEW JOB AT A NICE LAW FIRM.

HER BOSS PUT HER UP HERE.

IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD... IF IT'S TRUE.

IT IS.

OKAY.

[ SIGHS ] WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

ABOUT?

SIT.

NO, I'LL STAND.

CANDACE, PLEASE SIT DOWN.

THERE ARE MANY THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I STILL STRUGGLE WITH

IN MY WALK WITH GOD.

I TRY TO PRAY EVERY DAY. I TRY TO LIVE RIGHT.

MY ‐‐ MY AIM IS TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

AND I KNOW GOD IS PLEASED.

BUT THERE'S JUST THIS ONE AREA OF MY LIFE

THAT I STRUGGLE WITH MORE THAN MOST.

[ SIGHS ]

AND THAT'S YOU, DAUGHTER.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO FORGIVE YOU,

I GET SO ANGRY.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AMANDA.

WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WELL, THEN, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

LET HER FINISH.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT YET AGAIN,

I WENT TO GOD ABOUT YOU ON MY KNEES,

ASKING HIM TO REMOVE THIS BITTERNESS

THAT I FEEL EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER.

[ SCOFFS ]

I KNOW I DIDN'T HAVE A MANSION TO RAISE YOU IN...

OR ANY KIND OF LEGACY TO GIVE YOU,

BUT I TRIED MY BEST TO GIVE YOU WHAT I HAVE.

AND THAT'S THE WORD OF GOD

AND A SOMEWHAT STABLE HOME.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE, CANDACE.

YOU'VE BEEN ASHAMED OF ME SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL.

ALWAYS RUNNING AHEAD OF ME

SO THE OTHER KIDS WOULDN'T SEE ME BRINGING YOU TO SCHOOL

IN MY MAID'S UNIFORM.

YOU WERE ABOUT 9.

AND?

I AM SAYING...

THAT I WANT YOU TO FORGIVE ME...

FOR EVERYTHING I DIDN'T HAVE...

FOR ANY THING I DID.

FORGIVE ME FOR MY BAD CHOICES.

GO ON.

I JUST WANT YOU TO FORGIVE ME.

FOR?

CANDACE, SHE JUST SAID ‐‐

MNH‐MNH, BENNY.

SHE'S MISSING A HUGE ONE.

I SAID IT BEFORE.

I AM SO...SORRY.

WHAT'S SHE TALKING ABOUT?

YOU WANT TO TELL HIM?

WHEN I WAS 22...

I HAD A BOYFRIEND NAMED MARVIN.

CANDY WAS 5.

TELL HIM.

HE WAS MOLESTING HER.

AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN I TOLD YOU?

I PUT HIM OUT.

NO, YOU DIDN'T. YES, I DID.

I REMEMBER.

HE LEFT YOU.

NO, CANDACE, THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

I CALLED THE POLICE.

OTHERWISE, I MIGHT'VE KILLED HIM.

HE LEFT 'CAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO JAIL.

BUT THEY FOUND HIM, AND THEY ARRESTED HIM.

THEY DID.

YOU DON'T REMEMBER ALL THOSE POLICE

COMING TO YOUR SCHOOL, ASKING YOU ALL THOSE QUESTIONS?

YOU WEREN'T THERE.

THEY WOULDN'T LET ME BE THERE.

BUT I WAS IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR.

I DID THAT. I DID THAT.

AND GOD KNOWS... HOW SORRY I AM

I EVER LET HIM IN OUR HOUSE.

I'M SO SORRY.

WHY ARE YOU BRINGING THIS UP?

AMANDA.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

YOU KNOW?

YES.

SHE WAS IN PAIN.

SHE HAD SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HER

WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL, TOO.

AND I JUST KEEP THINKING

MAYBE IF YOU GOT SOME HELP FOR SOME OF THIS STUFF,

YOUR LIFE WOULD BE BETTER. YOU'D BE BETTER.

I'M FINE. NO, HONEY, YOU'RE NOT.

DON'T YOU SEE?

THAT'S OVER. THAT'S THE PAST.

I'M GOOD.

CANDACE, TRUE HEALING COMES WITH FORGIVENESS...

AND WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THIS STUFF.

I SAID I WAS FINE.

NOT LIVING IN NO HOTEL ON NO CON, YOU'RE NOT.

MOM.

SEE, BENNY? I TOLD YOU.

IT'S LEGIT.

BABY, IT DON'T WORK LIKE THAT.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA GIVE HER A JOB

AND PUT HER UP IN A PLACE LIKE THIS

FRESH OUT OF LAW SCHOOL.

AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN YOU WOULD'VE HAD TIME TO STUDY,

MUCH LESS TAKE A BAR EXAM.

WELL, I DID. MM‐HMM.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD, THOUGH?

IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT,

YOU WOULD BE ONE HELL OF A LAWYER.

I SAW YOU. I HEARD YOU IN THAT COURTROOM.

EVEN THE JUDGE WAS SHOCKED AT HOW GOOD YOU ARGUED

AGAINST TONY AND HIS LAWYER FOR YOUR BROTHER.

WHAT? ARGUED FOR ME? WHAT?

I JUST WANT YOU TO FORGIVE ME.

IF NOT FOR ME, FOR YOU,

AND GET SOME HELP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU.

WHAT'S SHE TALKING ABOUT ARGUING FOR ME?

ARE YOU DONE? NO.

I LOVE YOU, CANDACE.

[ SNIFFLES ]

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

YOU HAVE TO GO.

OKAY. [ SNIFFLES ]

I NEED TO SAY ONE MORE THING.

IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS, DAUGHTER,

YOU'RE GONNA END UP DEAD, TOO.

COME ON.

YOU HAVE TO GO NOW.

SHE'S ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I HOPE SO, BABY.

I SURE HOPE SO.

TOLD YOU, BENNY.

TOLD YOU. [ SIGHS ]

LOOK, I'M GONNA CALL YOU LATER, ALL RIGHT?

MM.

[ SIGHS ] LOCK THIS DOOR.

MM‐HMM.

[ SIGHS ]

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

NOTHING RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE TO CALL THE FUNERAL HOME.

I HAVE TO CALL THE FUNERAL HOME.

KATHERYN...

THAT CAN WAIT.

IT CAN WAIT.

I'VE NEVER CALLED A FUNERAL HOME BEFORE.

RIGHT NOW, YOU JUST HAVE TO RELAX.

THEY GROW UP SO FAST, VERONICA.

I REMEMBER...

I REMEMBER SHE BROKE HER ARM IN GYMNASTICS.

I WAS IN A PANIC.

I FLEW IN A SPECIALIST FROM NEW YORK

BECAUSE I WANTED IT TO HEAL PERFECTLY.

I WANTED HER TO BE PERFECT.

BUT THERE'S NO SUCH THING.

THEY AREN'T PERFECT.

THEY AREN'T OURS TO CONTROL.

THEY'RE INDIVIDUALS. THEY COME TO US THAT WAY WITH THEIR...

OWN MINDS AND OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS, FLAWS.

THE MORE WE TRY TO CONTROL THEM, THE MORE THEY BECOME THEMSELVES.

[ SIGHS ]

JEFFERY IS GAY, VERONICA.

WHAT?

YOU KNOW IT.

[ SIGHS ] IT'S GETTING LATE, KATHERYN.

I'M GONNA GO HOME.

HE'S GAY, VERONICA.

AND YOU CAN'T CHANGE HIM.

I WILL TALK TO YOU IN THE MORNING, KATHERYN.

AND HE'LL STILL BE GAY IN THE MORNING.

I'M GONNA OVERLOOK THIS BEHAVIOR...

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE IN A LOT OF PAIN.

AND SO ARE YOU.

HE CAN'T BE WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO BE.

KATHERYN, YOU REALLY NEED TO REST.

HE'S GAY, VERONICA.

AND YOU CANNOT MAKE HIM INTO WHO YOU WANT HIM TO BE

ANY MORE THAN WE COULD MAKE WYATT WHAT WE WANT HIM TO BE

OR AMANDA WHAT...

OR AMANDA WHAT I WANTED HER TO BE.

KATHERYN...

WE RAISED OUR CHILDREN VERY DIFFERENTLY.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

NO. GO ON.

SAY IT.

IT'S GETTING LATE.

SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.

I LOVE YOU.

AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.

NOW, I HAVE TO GO, BUT I WILL CALL YOU IN THE MORNING.

SURE.

LANDON, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

HERE.

YEAH, WELL, I CAN SEE THAT.

WHAT IS IT, LOVE?

WELL, I'VE BEEN AT THE CAMPAIGN OFFICES

HANDLING ALL OF THIS ALONE.

WELL, I'VE BEEN FIRED, REMEMBER?

OH, GET OFF IT.

NO. THEY DON'T WANT ME ON THE CAMPAIGN.

I NEED YOU. YOU'RE NOT FIRED.

LISTEN, AS ‐‐ AS TRAGIC AS THIS WHOLE THING HAS BEEN,

IT'S PRACTICALLY ASSURED HIM THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.

YOU SHOULD SEE THESE NUMBERS, IT'S ‐‐

NO. NO MORE NUMBERS FOR ME TONIGHT.

LANDON, I'M SERIOUS.

HIS DAUGHTER IS DEAD.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO BRING HER BACK?

NOTHING.

SO WE MIGHT AS WELL MAXIMIZE THIS TRAGEDY.

YOUR FANGS ARE SHOWING.

WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO WRAP OUR ARMS AROUND THIS.

I WANT TO GET MY ARMS AROUND HIM.

WHO?

HIM. THAT GUY. SO SEXY.

AND STRAIGHT.

I KNOW.

HE HASN'T LOOKED AT ME ONCE.

LANDON. LANDON. I NEED YOU TO BE CLEAR.

WE NEED TO LINE UP THE PRESS TOMORROW

AND LET THEM KNOW THAT HE WAS LATE BECAUSE OF THIS TRAGEDY

AND THAT WE'RE GONNA MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT

AS SOON AS THE FAMILY'S HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GRIEVE.

NOW, AS FAR AS THE HARRINGTONS ‐‐

NO. I WILL NOT WORK WITH THEM.

NO, CUT THE CRAP. WHAT? SHE'S WICKED.

YOU'RE WICKED. WHAT?

I WATCHED THE TAPE.

YOU AMBUSHED HER.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT. FINE. YEAH, I TRIED.

YEAH, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK, DID IT?

NO, IT DIDN'T. SHE WAS PREPARED.

SHE'S A NATURAL PREDATOR. THEY KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE.

YEAH, JUST LIKE COCKROACHES.

[ SCOFFS ]

CANDACE, WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE DID YOU GO?

I WA‐‐ YOU LEFT ME HERE.

I HAD TO MAKE SOME PHONE CALLS.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE? I DON'T KNOW.

CANDACE, YOU REMEMBER MAGGIE?

HI.

I NEED A SHOT.

NO, NO, NO. MORE CHAMPAGNE.

YEAH.

YOU'RE IN MY SEAT, BY THE WAY.

EXCUSE ME?

YOU'RE IN MY SEAT.

[ CHUCKLES ]

DOES IT ‐‐ DOES IT HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT?

MM‐HMM.

"CANDACE YOUNG, BAD BITCH." YOU DIDN'T SEE IT?

OKAY, LET'S ‐‐ LET'S ‐‐ [ LAUGHS ]

LADIES, LET'S JUST NOT HAVE A CAT FIGHT TONIGHT HERE.

I GUESS YOU DON'T HANG OUT AT HOTEL BARS THAT MUCH?

AND YOU HANG OUT WITH MARRIED MEN, HUH?

Landon: IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

THANK YOU, LANDON. YOU ARE WELCOME.

HOW IS JIM?

EXCUSE ME?

JIM CRYER ‐‐ HOW IS HE?

MOURNING.

IS HE AT HOME?

WHY? LET ME TELL YOU HOW THIS WORKS.

I ASK THE QUESTIONS, AND YOU JUST ANSWER THEM.

IS HE AT HOME? YES.

LANDON. WHAT?

GREAT. I'M GONNA STOP BY TOMORROW MORNING.

EXCUSE ME?

DID YOU MISS SOMETHING?

[ Slowly ] I'M GOING TO STOP BY TOMORROW MORNING.

YOU CAN'T GO OVER THERE. WHY NOT?

THERE ARE PRESS VANS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THEY'RE WATCHING EVERYBODY WHO GOES IN AND OUT.

AND? [ SCOFFS ]

I'M SORRY. YOU ARE ONE CRAZY WOMAN.

I AM, AND SO ARE YOU.

DAVID?

ARE YOU REALLY INTO HIM?

[ SCOFFS ] I BEG YOUR PARDON?

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU WERE, UH ‐‐

YOU BOTH WERE HERE ALL HUGGED UP AT THE BAR.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

MM. QUIET NOW, ARE WE?

BY THE WAY, UH, YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE

YOU'RE ANY MATCH FOR THAT VERONICA.

SHE IS FULL OF TESTOSTERONE.

MISS YOUNG.

[ SIGHS ] I KNEW I'D MAKE YOU GET UP.

HOW YOU DOING?

NOT SO GOOD.

He's coming. He's coming.

HI. I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD ‐‐

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

...GET THE CHAIR BACK. I'M EXPECTING A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

THANK YOU.

DON'T GET NO BETTER THAN ME, BABY.

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ] HELLO?

YES.

WHAT?

WHERE IS SHE?

NO.

MNH‐MNH.

SHE STILL DOESN'T KNOW

THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO CALL A MARRIED MAN.

I‐I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND.

JUST ‐‐ JUST ‐‐ JUST TRY TO KEEP HER THERE.

I'M ON MY WAY.

SHE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE HOTEL?

VERONICA, GO HOME.

GLADLY. YOU GO TO HELL.

[ KEYS JINGLE ]

COME ON, CANDACE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

COME ON, CANDACE. JUST ‐‐

[ SIGHS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

Hi, this is Candace. You know what to do.

REALLY, CANDACE? REALLY?

I MEAN, THIS IS ‐‐ THIS IS ‐‐ THIS IS JUST WRONG.

WHY WOULD YOU SEND A MAN OVER HERE NOW?

I MEAN, I'M ‐‐ I'M REALLY UPSET ABOUT THE AMANDA SITUATION,

SO PLEASE JUST STOP IT.

OKAY? STOP THIS.

CALL ME.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HEY!

OUT. GET OUT.

QUINCY.

YO.

[ SIGHS ]

MAN, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

WHERE'S CANDACE?

SHE'S NOT HERE.

I CAN SEE THAT.

BEEN WAITING HERE A FEW HOURS.

WHERE SHE AT?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS?

NO, I DON'T.

YEAH, YOU DO.

MAN, GET OUT OF HERE.

WHERE SHE AT, THOUGH?

I ALREADY TOLD YOU SHE'S NOT HERE AND YOU NEED TO LEAVE.

[ SIGHS ]

YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME WHERE SHE IS.

OKAY, OKAY.

UH, S‐SHE WAS HERE, BUT SHE LEFT, OKAY?

OKAY.

CALL HER.

I‐I DON'T HAVE HER NUMBER.

PUT YOUR PASSWORD IN.

PUT YOUR PASSWORD IN. NO.

PUT YOUR DAMN PASSWORD IN THE PHONE

BEFORE I BREAK YOUR NECK, BOY.

I HEARD YOU TALKING TO HER. THAT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE.

SOMEBODY ELSE, HUH?

SOMEBODY ELSE NAMED CANDACE? I HEARD YOU TALKING TO HER.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS!

I DO‐‐ [ GRUNTS ]

PUT YOUR DAMN PASSWORD IN THIS PHONE.

I SAID NO.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOUR MAMA DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD HEART.

MY MOM? YEAH.

YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS.

SHE'S ALREADY IN THIS.

KNEE DEEP, THIGH HIGH, BABY.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW?

YOUR MAMA'S A GANGSTER.

SHE CALLED AND TOLD ME CANDACE WAS HERE.

AND NOW THAT SHE'S NOT,

SHE'S GONNA KNOW THAT YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS.

MY MOTHER WOULD NEVER BE INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

WANT TO BET?

YOUR MOTHER GOT ME OUT OF THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY

IN 24 HOURS.

AMAZING.

WHAT A SWEET ASS.

MMM.

SHE GOT ME OUT OF JAIL TO COME GET CANDY.

MY MOTHER?

WHAT'S THE PASSWORD, SON?

SHE SENT YOU HERE?

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL CALL HER.

GOOD.

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

[ Ringing ]

Yes, Jeffery? MOM.

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT HER ASS.

QUINCY IS HERE?

WHO? Quincy.

HE SAYS THAT YOU SENT HIM HERE TO FIND CANDACE.

OKAY.

"OKAY"? OKAY WHAT? YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?

HE'S SITTING HERE IN MY APARTMENT, MOM.

LET ME TALK TO HIM. PUT HIM ON THE DAMN PHONE.

WHAT UP, MA?

WHY DID YOU TELL HIM THAT I SENT YOU THERE,

YOU SNITCHING LITTLE BITCH? SAY WHAT?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD SOME KIND OF CODE AGAINST THAT KIND OF THING,

dumbass criminal.

YO, FOR REAL, YOU GOT ABOUT ONE MORE TIME TO CALL ME ‐‐

Let me talk to my son, boy.

MOM? JEFFERY, HE WON'T HURT YOU.

JUST TELL HIM WHERE THAT GIRL IS.

I CAN'T DO THAT. OKAY.

THEN HE WILL HURT YOU.

MOM. I told you, Jeffery.

I AM NOT PLAYING WITH YOU.

BUT I REMEMBER BEING RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL BY MY FATHER,

AND MY UNCLE WENT TO LOOK FOR YOU.
