GET THE HELL OFF OF MY WIFE.

THIS IS A NICE HOUSE. WHO LIVES HERE?

‐WE DO. ‐WHAT?

‐YEAH, IT'S OURS. ‐I NEED A BLOODBATH.

THERE'S AN OFFICER NAMED TERRELL,

THERE IS A PROFESSOR NAMED CANON,

AND THERE IS A LAWYER NAMED HARRINGTON.

VERONICA.

I WANT THEM ALL DEAD.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

YOU'RE UP EARLY.

STRANGE HOUSE. HARD TO SLEEP?

NAH.

I'M JUST TOSSING AND TURNING A LITTLE BIT.

‐REALLY? ‐YEAH.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? HOW'D YOU SLEEP?

‐I SLEPT GOOD. ‐GOOD.

ALMOST LIKE BEING AT HOME.

WELL, THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU ARE AT HOME.

NO, BENNY, THIS IS NOT MY HOUSE.

COME ON WITH THAT, MOM.

LOOK, MY HOUSE IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR

WITH BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS.

NOW, IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT IT'S MINE.

ONCE YOU SPEND 20‐SOMETHING YEARS

WORKING HARD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING...

YOU TAKE PRIDE IN IT.

WHEN YOU GET IT EASY,

YOU DON'T REALLY APPRECIATE IT AS MUCH.

I APPRECIATE THIS.

I KNOW YOU DO.

WAIT UNTIL YOU PUT IN SOME TIME,

SOME YEARS TO PAY FOR SOMETHING.

YOU'LL APPRECIATE IT MORE. YOU'LL SEE.

THIS IS A NICE HOUSE.

[ SIGHS ]

YEAH, IT IS.

I'D HAVE STARTED BREAKFAST

IF I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE GONNA BE UP.

NO, NOT REALLY HUNGRY.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

NOTHING.

NOW, YOU KNOW I KNOW YOU.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YEAH, I KNOW.

TELL ME.

NO, REALLY. IT'S NOTHING.

IS IT THIS HOUSE AND YOUR BUSINESS?

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

THIS CAME REAL FAST, BENNY. REAL FAST.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

JUST LIKE A FAST WOMAN.

IF YOU GET HER THIS QUICK, SHE MAY NOT BE WORTH KEEPING.

SPEAKING OF NASTY WOMEN...

OH, MY GOSH. MOM...

HAVE YOU SEEN VERONICA?

NO. I HAVEN'T SEEN VERONICA.

YOU'RE LYING.

OHH. MOM.

YOU ARE. YOU KNOW I KNOW WHEN YOU'RE LYING.

FINE. YEAH, I SAW HER.

WHEN?

SHE CAME BY MY TOW YARD.

FOR WHAT?

SHE HAD SOME PAPERWORK FOR ME TO SIGN

ABOUT THE FIGHT I WAS IN WITH QUINCY

SO IT'S NOT ON MY RECORD.

HM.

"HUH." WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT WOMAN.

I'M NOT THE ONE CALLING HER.

SO SHE'S CALLING YOU?

[ SIGHS ] LOOK, SHE CAME BY THE TOW YARD.

SHE HAD SOME PAPERS FOR ME TO SIGN.

I SIGNED THEM. THAT'S IT.

YOU COULD JUST LIVE IN MY DREAM WITH ME.

I DO.

I ALWAYS DO.

BUT YOUR DREAM BETTER HAVE A FOUNDATION

THAT'S BUILT ON SOMETHING STRONGER

THAN THE STORY YOU'RE TELLING ME

'CAUSE IF IT ISN'T...

THAT DREAM'S GONNA TURN INTO A NIGHTMARE REAL QUICK.

SO I GUESS YOU WON'T BE COMING BACK HERE AFTER WORK, HM?

NO, BENNY, I WON'T.

SHE CAN'T HOLD ANYTHING OVER MY HEAD ANYMORE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT OUT THERE ON THE TABLE.

BUT YOU KNOW SHE HAS MORE.

YES, BUT SHE DID FIRE HER BIGGEST BULLET.

AND SHE HAS A LOT MORE BULLETS WHERE IT CAME FROM.

LET HER SHOOT WHERE SHE WANTS TO.

WE'RE OKAY.

YOU SAID YOU HAD TWO QUESTIONS. WHAT'S THE OTHER?

VERONICA.

OH, NO, NO.

WHY DID YOU ATTACK HER?

BECAUSE THAT WOMAN IS A CRAZY BITCH,

AND SHE NEEDED TO BE ATTACKED.

WHAT DID SHE DO?

NO, KATHERYN, I'M NOT TELLING YOU.

JIM.

NO.

WHATEVER SHE DID, BELIEVE ME,

THERE WILL BE REPERCUSSIONS, AND SHE WILL PAY FOR IT.

I'LL SEE TO THAT.

AND DON'T TELL ME THAT I SHOULDN'T DO IT

BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR FRIEND.

YOU'D WANT HER HEAD RIGHT HERE ON THIS PLATTER.

HANNA, WHERE'S KATHERYN?

SHE'S CHANGING. SHE'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

OKAY.

WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING THERE, DEAR?

I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS DUSTING AROUND HERE.

THIS IS A BIG HOUSE.

I'M LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DUSTED.

DID YOU BUY THAT TOW YARD AND THAT HOUSE FOR MY SON?

EXCUSE ME?

YOU HEARD ME.

BUYING THINGS FOR MEN? ME?

YOUR SON NEEDS TO BE PAYING ME FOR MY EXPERTISE.

WHAT ELSE?

YOU HAVE LOST YOUR MIND, HAVEN'T YOU?

WELL, I'M GONNA TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME ‐‐

STAY AWAY FROM MY SON.

OR?

EXCUSE ME?

STAY AWAY FROM YOUR SON, OR...?

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A TRUMP CARD.

WHAT IS YOUR TRUMP CARD, DEAR?

FOR INSTANCE, WHEN YOU PLAY POKER,

OH, YOU'VE GOT TO COME BETTER THAN THAT.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO, HUH?

IT TAKES A LOT FOR ME TO HOLD MY PEACE.

BUT THERE WAS A TIME

CAN I HELP YOU?

THAT'S MY SON.

OH.

DO YOU HAVE I. D.?

I CAME TO PICK HIM UP.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

WHY NOT?

HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER HAVE ASKED FOR CUSTODY.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YES.

[ CHUCKLES ] THAT AIN'T HAPPENING.

CAN YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE? I JUST NEED TO GRAB HIS RECORDS.

YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE.

YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM.

SAYS WHO?

HE WAS ABUSED IN YOUR CUSTODY,

SO YOU WILL NOT BE TAKING HIM ANYWHERE.

NOW, I NEED YOU TO TALK TO THE POLICE.

CAN YOU COME WITH ME, PLEASE?

JIM IS SUCH AN ASS.

JIM IS DEALING WITH A LOT.

YOU KNOW, DON'T DEFEND HIM.

OKAY, I WON'T.

YOU ARE ALWAYS SO NOBLE

WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR WIFE AND YOUR SON AND YOUR FRIENDS.

JUST STOP IT.

I AM WHO I AM.

AND WHO YOU ARE SHOULD BE GOVERNOR.

WHAT?

DAVID, YOU SHOULD RUN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID

THE STATE WASN'T READY FOR AN AFRICAN‐AMERICAN GOVERNOR.

YEAH, BUT WE CAN CHANGE THAT.

MAGGIE.

NO, DAVID, YOU SHOULD RUN.

AND BETRAY JIM?

YES.

NO WAY.

DAVID, YOU HAVE TO.

NO, DAVID, THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

THE CURRENT GOVERNOR IS WAY DOWN IN THE POLLS,

THIS IS YOUR TIME.

I CAN TAKE YOU THERE. I KNOW I CAN.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE SCANDALS IN YOUR LIFE.

LET ME TAKE YOU THERE, DAVID.

NEXT ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS."

THEY DROVE A CAR THROUGH MY HOUSE AND BURNED IT DOWN.

I KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO YOU. I KNOW YOU WERE LEFT IN THERE.

Your father set it up.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BACK AT THEM?

OH, MY GOD!

WHAT NOW?!

YOU ARE LYING!
