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

I'M TIRED.

ME TOO.

I'M TIRED OF THE HELL YOU HAVE PUT ME THROUGH.

WHERE THE HELL IS MY SON?!

WATCH YOUR TONE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

THERE IS BLOOD ON THE FLOOR, VERONICA.

WHAT DID YOU DO, SON?

I TOLD HER THAT I HIT THAT LITTLE GIRL.

I TOLD HER THAT I HIT BENNY YOUNG.

WHAT HAPPENED? IT'S FINE.

YOU HAVE BECOME THIS VINDICTIVE, SIMPLE BITCH.

I MADE YOUR ASS!

[ GLASS SHATTERING ] AAH!

WYATT?

COME DOWN HERE FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT? HAVE A SEAT.

WHAT TIME DOES HANNA GET HERE?

I'M WAITING TO HAVE MY CONVERSATION WITH HER.

WELL, SHE SHOULD BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

OKAY, GREAT.

I THINK SO, TOO.

SIT DOWN, SON. WHY?

BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO.

I'M NOT GONNA BITE YOU. SIT DOWN.

COME ON. RELAX.

HAVE A SHOT WITH YOUR OLD MAN.

IS IT POISON?

IT IS TO SOME.

COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU,

AFRAID YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH ME OR WHAT?

TAKE THE DAMN SHOT.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

I THINK WE'VE BEEN HANDLING THIS THING WRONG THE WHOLE TIME.

OUR SON IS AN ADULT,

AND I BELIEVE IT'S TIME THAT WE LET HIM ACT LIKE AN ADULT.

WANT ANOTHER SHOT?

YEAH. SURE.

BE MY GUEST.

NOW, SON, I WANT YOU TO LOOK ME DEAD IN THE EYE,

AND I WANT YOU TO GET IT ALL OFF OF YOUR CHEST.

YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW HOW YOU HATE ME.

I DO HATE YOU.

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU I HATE.

I KNOW.

THAT'S GOOD.

WHAT ELSE?

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?

DO WHAT? WHICH PART?

BE MORE SPECIFIC.

HAVE THE AFFAIRS WITH ALL THE HELP.

MM. WYATT...

YOUR FATHER HAS AN APPETITE FOR SEX

THAT IS UNCONTROLLABLE SOMETIMES.

SOMETIMES I SEE A WOMAN, AND I JUST HAVE TO HAVE HER.

SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FIGHT.

BUT THEN ONCE I ACTUALLY HAVE HER,

I'LL BE DAMNED IF I CAN REMEMBER WHY I WANTED HER SO BAD

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND MOM?

NO. YOUR MOTHER AND I WERE VERY MUCH IN LOVE WHEN WE WERE YOUNG.

BUT THE TRUTH IS, NOW WE CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER.

BECAUSE OF YOU AND BECAUSE OF AMANDA,

WE DECIDED TO STAY TOGETHER ALL THESE YEARS.

SO, YOU JUST LOOKED PAST ALL OF HIS AFFAIRS?

DARLING, WHILE HE WAS HAVING HIS,

I WAS HAVING SOME OF MY OWN.

WHAT?

YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?

NO. I DIDN'T.

WHO WITH?

NOT AS MANY AS YOU, BUT...

THREE OR FOUR.

WHO WITH, KATHERYN?

WELL, ONE WAS MY TENNIS INSTRUCTOR GINO.

GINO WITH THE PONYTAIL? MM‐HMM.

AND WHAT HE COULD DO WITH THAT PONYTAIL...

[ CHUCKLES ]

IT WAS LIKE ROPE TO ME.

STOP IT.

STOP WHAT?

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

TELLING ME THESE STORIES.

SEE, THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG, SON.

THESE ARE NOT STORIES.

THE REASON YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE IT IS BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH.

OBVIOUSLY, SHIELDING YOU FROM THE UGLY PARTS

HAS NOT WORKED SO WELL SO FAR.

GO AHEAD. HAVE ANOTHER SHOT.

‐‐Captions by VITAC‐‐ www.vitac.com

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

I THINK I'LL HAVE ONE.

WHAT ELSE?

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

CANDACE.

CANDACE WAS AN ESCORT THAT I HIRED FOR GREAT SEX.

SHE WAS AMAZING.

BUT SHE IS EVIL, AND SHE IS WICKED.

AND, TRUST ME, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HER AGAIN,

SHE'S GONNA PAY FOR ALL OF THIS.

PAY FOR WHAT?

PAY FOR YOUR SISTER.

AMANDA WAS FINE BEFORE SHE STARTED MESSING AROUND

WITH CANDACE.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MESSING AROUND

WITH CANDACE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?

SON, YOU ARE RIGHT.

BUT CANDACE IS SOMETHING I DID.

CANDACE IS SOMETHING THAT IS DONE.

CANDACE IS SOMETHING THAT IS OVER AND I CANNOT TAKE BACK.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?

NOTHING? I DON'T KNOW, DAD!

LET ME ‐‐ I GOT TO THINK ABOUT IT.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WHILE YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT,

DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

WHAT?

YOU KNOW THAT JEFFERY IS GAY, RIGHT?

YEAH.

AND YOU KNOW THAT JEFFERY IS IN LOVE WITH YOU.

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION, WYATT.

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM?

WHAT?

I'M JUST ASKING.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

WYATT, WE'RE ALL CONFESSING HERE.

I'M CONFESSING. YOUR MOTHER IS CONFESSING.

JUST TELL ME. I WANT TO KNOW.

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH JEFFERY?

I'M STRAIGHT.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE.

SOMETIMES I WONDER BECAUSE I SEE THE WAY HE LOOKS AT YOU,

THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HIM ‐‐ OH, GO TO HELL WITH THAT.

ALL RIGHT?

WYATT, CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF, RIGHT THERE.

THERE'S NOTHING TO CONFESS.

I'M NOT THE LEAST BIT INTO GUYS OR JEFFERY.

NO? WELL, THEY SURE AS HELL ARE GONNA BE INTO YOU.

HUH?

YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL, WYATT.

TO PRISON. YEAH.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

YOU'RE GONNA BE IN PRISON A VERY LONG TIME, SON.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT AND YOU KILL SOMEBODY.

YOU'RE A JUDGE.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT. SON...

WHAT?

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? OH, HERE WE GO.

HEY, JUST HEAR ME OUT ON THIS, WYATT.

OKAY. YOU'RE GOING TO PRISON.

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU LOOK.

THEY ARE GOING TO RAPE YOU.

LIKE HELL THEY WILL.

WYATT CRYER...

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HARDENED CRIMINALS.

I HAVE SAT ‐‐ GO AHEAD AND ROLL YOUR EYES ‐‐

BUT I HAVE SAT AT MY BENCH ACROSS FROM THEM FOR YEARS,

AND, TRUST ME, BUDDY,

YOU HAVE NO CONCEPT OF HOW AWFUL THESE PEOPLE CAN REALLY BE.

NOW, YOU MADE A DECISION TO TAKE YOURSELF OUT FROM THE COVERING

AND THE PROTECTION OF YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR FATHER,

AND FOR THAT, I APPLAUD YOU...

BECAUSE THAT MEANS

YOU ARE WILLING TO STAND UP ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET.

BUT YOU HEAR ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT TO STAND UP

WHILE YOU ARE IN PRISON IN YOUR TINY LITTLE BOX

WHEN YOUR NEW BEST FRIENDS ARE GONNA BE TRYING

TO BEND YOU OVER AT EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY.

GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD, SON.

YOU CONFESSED TO THE D. A.

I KNOW THIS D. A.

WHEN SHE GETS THROUGH PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER,

SHE'S GONNA COME AFTER YOUR ASS.

SHE'S GONNA HAVE YOU PUT IN PRISON FOR MURDER

FOR THE REST OF YOUR NATURAL LIFE.

SHE'S NOT COMING AFTER YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR FATHER,

BECAUSE WE HAVE MONEY AND A KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW.

THE WORST THING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US IS,

WE'RE GONNA GET OUR HANDS SLAPPED.

SO THIS LITTLE DRINK WE'RE HAVING, THIS LITTLE CELEBRATION,

WE'RE DOING THIS TO PUT AN END TO MY RUN IN POLITICS...

BECAUSE AFTER THIS WHOLE MESS IS OVER,

AND YOU'RE THERE IN YOUR TINY LITTLE BOX

WITH YOUR NEW BEST FRIENDS

AND YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE SITTING ON THE COUCH,

I'M THINKING THAT SHE AND I MAY JUST RETIRE...

GO ON A TRIP...

TRAVEL A LITTLE BIT.

HOW DOES THAT SOUND TO YOU, KATHERYN?

YES.

TO US RETIRING.

GO ON, WYATT.

HAVE ANOTHER.

YOU DON'T WANT IT?

HOLD ON A SECOND.

TO US...

BECAUSE I AM EXHAUSTED.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO RAISE CHILDREN WHO DON'T WANT MY HELP

AND WHO REFUSE TO HELP THEMSELVES.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HELP MY WIFE.

ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS BLAME ME OR ANYBODY THAT SHE CAN

FOR ALL OF HER ISSUES.

AND, WYATT, I WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR DECIDING TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE

SO COMPLETELY AND SO QUICKLY...

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN DO?

I CAN TAKE YOU AND YOUR SISTER,

AND I CAN PUT YOU BOTH IN A GIGANTIC BALL OF PAIN,

AND I CAN DEAL WITH IT...

BOTH OF YOU AT THE SAME TIME...

AND I CAN LET IT GO...

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M DOING TOMORROW?

I'M GONNA GET OUT OF MY BED IN THE MORNING,

AND I'M GONNA GO OUT THERE,

AND I AM GOING TO BURY MY DAUGHTER.

THEN I'M GONNA PUT MY SON IN A CAR,

AND I'M GONNA TAKE MY SON TO PRISON.

AND THEN I AM GOING TO LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY...

BECAUSE, WYATT CRYER, YOUR FATHER IS TIRED.

NOW GET YOUR ASS OUT OF MY FACE.

YES. MM‐HMM.

OKAY.

OH, AND HER MOTHER SAID,

MAKE SURE, PLEASE, THAT THEY HAVE LILIES.

THEY WERE HER FAVORITE.

YES.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. BYE‐BYE.

I DON'T CARE.

DAVID, I THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE HER SOME TIME TO COOL OFF.

TIME TO COOL OFF, HUH?

I THINK I'VE GIVEN HER ENOUGH TIME.

IT'S NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT SHE'S DONE.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO ME? TELL ME, WHAT HAS SHE DONE?

ALL OF OUR MEMORIES ARE A LIE, JEFFERY.

ALL OF THEM.

I DRESSED YOU UP LIKE A LITTLE BOY

AND MADE YOU PLAY WITH BATS AND FOOTBALLS, AND...

I NEVER WANTED TO PLAY WITH DOLLS AND WEAR DRESSES.

YOU MAY AS WELL HAVE.

MOM, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I PLANNED THE WHOLE THING.

I PAID FOR IT.

CONGRATULATIONS, SON.

YOU'RE GONNA BE A FATHER.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE WAS ALL OVER YOU?

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE SHOWED YOU PORN

WITH MORE MEN IN IT THAN WOMEN?

SHE WAS TRYING TO GET YOU AROUSED,

TRYING TO GET YOU EXCITED, AND SHE DID.

WE WAITED TILL SHE WAS OVULATING.

WE WAITED, AND WE TESTED, AND IT WAS PEAK TIME,

AND...

TONIGHT WAS JUST TO BE SURE, BUT...

[ SIGHS ]

YOU ARE GOING TO BE A FATHER.

YOU DIDN'T.

I...

WHAT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

SHE'S A NICE GIRL.

YOU DON'T WANT HER?

YOU WILL.

I WILL NEVER WANT HER.

OH. THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU WANT A MAN ON TOP OF YOU.

A MAN...

WITH HIS MUSTACHE PRESSING UP AGAINST YOURS,

RUBBING YOUR HARD CHEST AGAINST EACH OTHER'S,

BREATHING HEAVY MAN BREATH.

THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

YOU WILL NOT TALK TO ME THAT WAY.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME, BOY?!

[ BREATHES DEEPLY ]

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HURT ME ANYMORE.

YOU ARE SIMPLE.
