Previously on "In Contempt"...

What is the deal with you
and Bennett? And Charlie?

Who actually likes you, by the way.

Charlie doesn't like anyone but himself.

He can never be serious,
it is exhausting.

Charlie, you have to get him a program!

Talk to his mother, get
her to plead his case!

You know it's insane to roll
the dice on a stash and cash.

Really?

Sorry, I stopped listening
at call his mommy.

I know you're sleeping with my husband.

And frankly, he's done better.

I would think long and hard

before asking me to recuse myself.

Yup. Thought about it. We
still want you to step down.

You recused Blackburn

even though I explicitly told you not to

and you lost!

I just want a chance
to defend the innocent.

When you see one of those
walk by here, you let me know.

Does anyone care about
the law around here?

If you don't step back,
you'll be spending the night in jail.

Bennett is a real man.

He's not a scrub, he's not
a boy, he's not a game.

Just tell him how you feel.

Gwen, this is Alison, my fianc�e.

Step away from the vehicle.
Hands behind your head.

I didn't do nothing, man! I didn't
do anything... get off of me! Aghh!

You should've seen the
way he looked at me.

? I'm straight up with
this one boy I know of ?

Who the hell is Greta Constantine?

And why does her jacket
cost as much as an iPhone?

Well, she is a black
guy and an Asian dude.

I'm so confused.

That's from last year's
collection. I got it on sale.

Damn! You don't ever
got to shop no more.

You got fresh tags,
new purses, new shoes...

- Your closet is a store!
- Get out of my closet.

What's up with you not
opening your mail and all?

Hey! Monthly bills.
To maintain my self-esteem,

I open the ones I can't pay last.

Ah! Live like a superstar
on a reality star's budget.

You need an intervention in here?

Hey, do you want to be my
date to a wedding shower?

It's Bennett and his fianc�e, Alison.

- Uh, thanks but I'll pass.
- Come on, why not?

Cause you always say we're
friends with benefits.

And this feels more like an
obligation than a benefit.

- Fine. Forget I asked.
- You know what? OK.

Maybe she might have some fine friends.

I suppose I can do you a solid.

Thanks.

Well, them benefits, this time.

- No, stop!
- Good morning!

[PHONE RINGING]

Saved by the bell!

Oh shit, it's Tom!

Blackburn wants to see
me in her courtroom now.

What did you do this time?

? And I know how to get there,
don't follow me ?

Judge, whatever it is,
it wasn't calendared.

I didn't know I was supposed
to appear in front of you today.

This isn't about you, Ms. Sullivan.

Meet Juror No. 5.

I called for you because
he needs a public defender.

And he needs a public defender
because I am about to hold him

in contempt of court and I
don't want anyone to think

that he didn't have the loudest defense.

Appreciate your vote
of confidence, Judge.

Let's just say the past is
the past, and I, for one,

- can let it go.
- That's beautiful. Em.

Now, can I have a moment
with my client to speak to him

- and find out what happened?
- I'll explain what happened.

Juror No. 5 has a felony conviction.

Do you know what you cannot do
if you have a felony conviction?

- Sit on a jury.
- Precisely, and yet, somehow,

Juror No. 5 managed to get
himself seated on my jury.

I had to declare a
mistrial because of him.

- What's his name?
- Excuse me?

Well, you keep referring
to him as Juror No. 5.

I'm just wondering
what his actual name is.

[SIGH]

Anthony Henry.

He has disrupted the
proceedings of this court,

and I intend to hold him in contempt.

Something that you are
quite familiar with.

I'm also directing the DA's office

to conduct a perjury investigation.

Contempt and perjury, that's...
like going after him twice

for the same conduct,
or alleged conduct.

When he lied, he committed
an offense against me

and the good people of
the State of New York.

And lying during pro forma questioning

and on his juror questionnaire
would technically be perjury.

Kiss-ass.

Ms. Sullivan, let me
make something clear.

When I said I wanted Mr. Henry
to have the loudest defense,

that wasn't a compliment.

Synced & corrected by reggielist
www.addic7ed.com

? I ain't never gonna
Let 'em see me down ?

? Promise I won't let
'em break me down ?

We were deadlocked.

And the judge kept saying
�keep trying�, right?

It got a little crazy in the jury room.

Then I said, that I didn't think

that anybody should go to jail
for a crime that wasn't violent.

Woo! All hell broke loose.

Did some investigating,
and found your felony.

Felony? I ain't got no felony.
I picked up a marijuana charge

a while back, but I didn't
go to jail or nothing.

Even though you didn't go
to jail, your possession case

- was a felony.
- It was?

That was a lot of weed.

Yeah, I know. My wife keeps
saying I need to cut back.

It says here you
bounced a check for $356

to a debt collection agency.

They bought by $5,000 credit card debt

and they have been coming
after me for like a year now.

They're calling me 247.
They even garnish my wages.

Look, I am trying to pay,
but I'm struggling.

This wasn't your first bad check.

Fifteen years ago, I got caught up

with this bad guy, and he was
doing a check kiting scheme,

and I was helping him.

But I haven't done anything
like that for 15 years.

I have three kids. I have a job.

I know it looks bad, but
I swear I did not know.

I mean, I thought that
my paycheck would clear.

It usually clears every Friday.

So, why are they pressing charges?

My friend told me I didn't have
to talk to them on the phone,

but when I told them
that, they got really mad.

So, I don't know, maybe that's why?

Okay. I'll talk to the prosecutor.

Look, Anthony, I know this
whole thing seems crazy,

but perjury is a serious crime.

It's a Class D felony.
Up to seven years in prison.

I didn't want to be
on no jury or nothing.

I got the summons.
I figured I better show up

or they're going to drop a
warrant on me or something.

Any other judge would have
just excused you from the jury

and put in an alternate,
but Blackburn's pretty hardcore.

[SIGHING]

Okay so, what are we going to do?

Well, first I'm going
to kiss Blackburn's ring.

We'll tell her that no one was
trying to disrespect her court.

- Then maybe she'll drop it.
- Let's hope.

- Should I call my wife, or...?
- No. I think it'll be fine.

I'll see you in there.

What are you still doing here? Go home.

I'll tell Blackburn I
gave the case to Tracy.

Forget it. She's trying to hammer a guy

who was just doing his civic duty.

I want to be the one to stop her.

And don't you think your
history with Blackburn

is precisely why Tracy
should take the case?

Nuh-uh, no, it's mine.

Our history together is
precisely why I got this.

Mr. Hammond. Lottie Cox. The bad check.

Thirty days.

- In jail?
- Uh-huh.

- That seems like a lot.
- Then $1,000 bail.

- For a bad check?
- She has a record.

- That was 15 years ago!
- Aw, let me guess.

You want community service
and we all sing Kumbaya?

People v. Brenda McGuiness. Step up!

I've had the opportunity
to consult with Mr. Henry

and do some investigating, Judge.

And I think this is all
just a misunderstanding.

Mr. Henry had no agenda,

or motive or intent
to mislead the court.

He really responded to a jury summons.

And lied. We ask 50 questions

explicitly to weed out people
who have been incarcerated.

Oh, Your Honor, Mr. Henry
has never been incarcerated.

He didn't even know he
plead guilty to a felony!

He understood what was going
on and he tried to undermine

the workings of the judicial system.

He said as much when he
told his fellow jurors

that no one should be incarcerated

for a non-violent crime.

I think that was just
his opinion, Your Honor.

I don't think that that's evidence

that he was trying to
subvert the process.

It doesn't make any
sense that he would go

to such lengths to screw up a trial.

Are you implying,
Ms. Sullivan, that this court

- doesn't make any sense?
- No, not at all.

I order the both of you
to be ready to proceed

on the contempt charge this afternoon.

Mr. Patel, I except you will have

completed your perjury
investigation by then.

I will do my best, Your Honor.

If you bring perjury
charges against him,

in addition to the contempt,
it's going to look

like you're punishing a
juror for wanting to acquit.

Gwen, I don't have a choice, alright?

She already called my supervisor.

You don't have evidence of intent.

And a jury's never going to convict him.

Just tell her you investigated
and you don't think

- you can make out the perjury.
- And have her come after me?

Oh my God, how do I actually
have bigger balls than you?

I'm sorry.

Look, just tell Blackburn
you need more time.

That you'll convene a Grand Jury.

It's not fair to do a hearing
on the contempt this quickly,

never mind the trial on perjury!

Come on. It's the right thing to do.

Hammond wants 30 days
on a misdemeanor bad check.

Oh, please! Old Hammie
knows I'll never go for that.

So, what should we do?

- What did you say?
- She only has one prior.

Sorry, baby. I'll be right back.

Gotta make myself scarce for a minute.

The prosecutor is offering 30 days.

In jail?!

I have three kids and a mother at home.

Thirty days I don't work are
thirty days they don't eat.

You don't have any vacation days?

No.

And what about bail?

The prosecution is
asking for 1,000 dollars.

How am I supposed to afford
that when I can't even afford

- to pay the collection agency?
- I know.

But the judge is not gonna let you out.

I think the offer is high.

I think we can put the
case off until tomorrow

and get a better deal
from the next prosecutor.

- And what happens if we can't?
- I think we can.

? I got this rhythm in my bones
This beat in my head ?

? These lyrics in my veins
That manifest in my pen ?

? Dance in my feet
Punctuation in my hips ?

? Passion in my mouth
Escaping when I spit ?

? Acoustics in my lungs
There's reverb in my throat ?

? I got this harmony in my eyes
That you see in all I grow ?

? Soul of a warrior
Strength of a queen... ?

Gwen!

? Dedication of a martyr
Initiation of a star ?

? Get right to the heart of
All that I am part of ?

Hey!

Jesus, Bennett,
don't scare me like that!

Sorry, I've been calling your name.

I heard you were
cavorting with the enemy.

Well, actually, to be fair,
they don't seem all that bad.

I'm not listening to you
�cause you drank the juice!

- Tracy told me about your case.
- Ugh.

I do not know why I try to
be civil with Judge Blackburn.

She has all the
compassion of a pit viper.

You think she'd screw your
client just to get back at you.

I think she is determined
to hammer Mr. Henry.

Her personally asking
me to represent him

just gives her a cover,
since everyone knows

I moved to recuse her from my case.

Punishing me is just
icing on her crazy cake.

- Hi!
- Hi!

Um, okay.

What's a good dispo on
a bad check under 500$?

- Any priors?
- Just one.

I was thinking ten
days' community service.

For bouncing a check?

Bad check statutes make
it a crime to be poor.

Bounce too many and you're guilty.

The DA doesn't even need
to prove intent to defraud.

You know, I never
actually bounced a check?

That is �cause you're
rich and you probably have

- overdraft protection.
- That's true.

My parents were crazy strict

about being financially responsible.

Ten days' community service
sounds about right, Vanessa.

- Is that all?
- What?

- You need anything else?
- Oh, no! Thanks. Bye!

So. What are you going
to do about your case?

I don't know. There's no jury

on a contempt charge
and it's pretty clear

Blackburn's already made up her mind.

There's got to be
something she's afraid of.

Judges are only afraid of two things:

a reversal on an appeal and bad press.

And, as the saying goes, no judge

ever made the front page
by being too hard on crime.

I think I know that look.

A story about a juror
spending time in jail

because he doesn't know a
misdemeanor from a felony.

- You're calling a reporter?
- Yeah.

I freelance for The Examiner!
Let me make a few phone calls

and I'll meet you at the hearing.

- Okay.
- Hey, by the way,

you're still coming to
the wedding shower, right?

Of course. I'm bringing Charlie.

- Charlie from the office?
- Yeah, we're friends.

- The more the merrier, right?
- Right.

? Let time follow you
In your pursuit of happiness ?

? You're never gonna get ?

? Never gonna get what you're
Never gonna look for ?

So this is the case from yesterday?

Yes. I put it over so we
could get a better deal.

- Gwen said community service.
- Sounds right.

Campbell! Judge Dawson
wants to see you ASAP.

Sorry, Bambi. Business elsewhere.

You got this. Be strong.
Have a backbone.

Fight like those Prada's depend on it.

I know you have been texting me,
but I have been so busy that...

You have been ignoring me all week.

I have been busy and I'm in court now,

so I'm gonna have to push our nooner.

I heard what happened at the gala.

Oh, please, I could not give
a sweet damn about your wife.

- You're not upset?
- Why would I be?

Well, if you're so worried
about it, stop cheating.

So, Ms. Milltown, the bad check case?

- Ninety days.
- Ninety days?

Hammond offered me 30 days yesterday.

Well, that was his stupidity.
And that was yesterday.

Just because I'm new does not mean that

- you can take advantage of me.
- Maybe because you're new

you don't know that a
third offense equals a felony.

Statutory minimum is
one and a half to three.

So, 90 days is a gift.

- From 15 years ago.
- Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no.

She's got two. The last
one was six months ago.

Oh my God, I didn't see it!
It was under a staple!

Look, the best I can do is 80 days.

Don't mistake my
generosity for weakness.

She's a thief. 80 days.
Take it or leave it.

Docket No. 456,
the People v. Lottie Cox.

Step up.

Counselor. No cell
phones in the courtroom.

What's going on?

- Your Honor, may we approach?
- Problem?

I made a horrible mistake.

I didn't see my client's second prior,

so I rejected the People's
previous offer of 30 days,

and now they're offering 80 days.

And what would you like me to do?

You can give her the 30 days.

Mrs. Cox should not pay for my mistake.

Counselor, 80 days is more than fair

for someone with three offenses.

Your Honor, it was a
debt collection agency.

She was paying them back.

She thought her paycheck had cleared.

Oh, please! She's got a history
and plenty of poor people

don't bounce checks over and over.

Sorry, Counselor.

The offer is 80 days.

What? Yesterday it was only 30.

You didn't tell me that you
were arrested a few months ago.

But it's the same company!
I told you, they keep

coming after me! Can we do a trial?

I mean, that way I can
explain how it happened.

Unless we can prove that the
check didn't actually bounce,

there is no defense. The
fact that you didn't mean

for it to bounce doesn't actually help.

Counselor, 80 days! Yes, or no?

Your Honor, please, a moment?

You turn this down, it only gets worse.

Your Honor, please. I don't understand.

I work really hard,
I feed my kids. I didn't...

Ms. Cox, talk to your lawyer, not to me.

- [WHISPERS] I'm sorry.
- Take the 80 days.

I can't. Oh my God,
why won't you listen to me?

Tomorrow it could be two years.

- Take the plea.
- Oh, my God!

Mr. Patel, have you concluded
your perjury investigation?

Um, not at this time.

I know Your Honor would
want me to be thorough,

so our office is considering
bringing the matter

- before a Grand Jury.
- Fine.

Are you ready on the
contempt, Ms. Sullivan?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- Alright, you may proceed.

Your Honor, our evidence will show

that Mr. Henry's only crime
was to obey a jury summons.

To hold him in contempt would
be to penalize an innocent man

for fulfilling a civic responsibility,

unlike most people,
who shirk jury service

with every excuse in the book.
Mr. Henry stepped up.

To penalize him for that

would be to make him
a second-class citizen.

Excuse me. Who are you?
Yeah, you. With the busy hands.

Oh. I'm Bennett Thomson, Your Honor.

What's your purpose here today?

I'm covering this case for
The New York Examiner, Your Honor.

Yes, my client had a marijuana
conviction in his past,

but how many times must
he pay for that same crime?

Every time he applies for a
job or housing and has to check

- the conviction box...
- That's enough, Counselor.

- Your Honor?
- That's enough for today.

I am continuing these
proceedings until Mr. Patel

can bring the perjury
charge to a Grand Jury.

Thank you.

- What just happened?
- You happened.

Now maybe she'll calm
down off of the contempt,

I have more time to prepare
and I can lobby the DA's office.

- So, thank you.
- No, thank you.

You know, watching
you work is like having

a front-row seat to an all-star game.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- He said what?
- Uh-huh.

You need to tell that man how
you feel before it's too late.

And you need to tell me
you're not doing the thing

that I know you're still doing

with a man who shall remain nameless.

He's not Voldemort.

Then why didn't you tell me about him.

Here I am spilling my guts
about the one who got away,

and my bestie is having an affair

and not telling me a
damn thing about it.

- You're bullshitting.
- Where were you?

Calm down, Bambi. Why so dramatic?

That bad check case, she got 80 days.

- Christ on a cracker, how?
- I screwed up.

I didn't know she had two priors.

What do you mean you didn't know?

There was a second one under a staple.

I told her to turn down 30 days.

I thought you were supervising her.

I had to step out!
Jesus, Bambi, toughen up.

- Stop calling me Bambi!
- Okay, listen.

We all make mistakes.

I just don't want to end up
talking to myself in a closet

- like some weirdo. No offense.
- None taken.

Is there any way that I can fix this?

Some things can't be fixed.

You just learn to deal and you move on.

You guys keep saying this, but
it's not getting any better.

It's getting worse.

Okay, you want me to show
you what really helps?

- Yes.
- You want to join?

Honey, you know I don't hit people.

? I gotta get it grinding I'm shining ?

No. No Jacuzzi, no spa.

Are we really going to hit each other?

Just the bag. Baby steps.

Okay, how do you do that?

Years of Bikram Yoga.
You should try it sometime.

Hot yoga, vagi-steam, hot sauna...

You know, you need to
stop paying for hot shit.

You need to move your body.

Throw a few jabs, take a few hits.

- What?
- I'm not used to this.

You know, boxing didn't
come naturally to me, either.

Actually, I got the bug from my dad.

We used to watch bouts
when I was a little girl...

I'm not used to being around
a lot of... people like us.

- People like us?
- You know, African-Americans.

Girl, you know you can
say black people, right?

I grew up in Darien, Connecticut.

I'm used to being the only
black person in the room.

I know how to be that person.

But our job, even being here, I...

Usually I feel like I'm too black,

but lately I've been feeling
like I'm not black enough.

You know, it wasn't until
I was out of law school

that I actually stopped
trying to fit in,

and said to hell with who my parents

and everyone else thought I should be.

And you know what?

I actually started to
love my unpredictable,

stubborn, workaholic,
junk food-eating ass.

How �bout you try just being Vanessa?

Personally, I think you'll
find she's pretty dope.

Dope is usually not the first
word people use to describe me.

Well, that is because most of
your friends are probably corny.

Come on. Time to show these
boys how the big girls fight.

The New Jim Crow
Alive & Well In New York?

When Anthony Henry plead guilty
to felony marijuana possession

in exchange for probation,
he began his descent

into second-class citizenship.

I've been saying that for years.

Anthony's felony conviction
prevents him from sitting

on a jury and, in many states, voting.

- 63,000 views!
- No!

Here's where you bring it home, though:

With one in three
black men crossing paths

with the criminal justice system
at some point in their lives,

this second class is growing
and undoing many of the gains

of the Civil Rights movement.
If you act in violation

of this new Jim Crow, you suffer.

This Anthony discovered when he
responded to a jury summons.

Ooh, Tom is going to love this!

The practice of jailing
jurors who lobby to acquit

might have a chilling
effect on the jury room.

Is Ms. Sullivan accusing Judge Blackburn

of intentionally intimidating a juror?

Your Honor, this piece wasn't
written by Ms. Sullivan.

This may not be her byline,
but it sounds exactly like her.

Did you guys check out some
of these comments? Listen:

�Judge Blackburn's a witch
with a heart of stone...

With teats as shriveled as walnuts�.

You can't possibly be
holding us responsible

for anonymous comments on
an article we didn't write.

Look, Tom, you protect yours.
I protect mine.

Which means your office is
about to seriously regret

using the press to try and
strong-arm one of my judges.

- So we good on the continuance?
- Two weeks? That's fine.

Judge, the People consent

to our request for a
two-week continuance.

Sorry, I'm sending you out for trial.

The People have their offices here.

Your Honor, Mr. Kasden isn't available.

- He's engaged in trial.
- Too bad.

Get someone else over here to try it.

- Jury 5. Next case.
- Docket ending 845,

People v. Linda Curran. Step up.

This case is up for a
Huntley Hearing, Your Honor.

Ms. Feynman is out sick and
requests a two-day continuance.

So many excuses today.

Here you go. Your coffee, piping hot.

Thanks. Listen, your case
is last on the docket.

If I try to move it up,
I'll get my head chewed off.

- Come on, are you serious?
- That Examiner article?

The judges are on a war path.
I wish I could help.

Oh, also, the clerk in arraignments

has a client asking for you.

He was arrested for marijuana
possession last night.

Anthony!

I'm already out on a limb for you!

It was one joint. It was stupid.

And guess who has a copy of your
article with him on the bench?

Docket ending 772,
the People v. Anthony Henry.

Step up.

Well, well. Is that the Anthony Henry?

Judge, may we approach?

Looks like it's duck-hunting
season on you guys right now.

Give it a rest, Patel.

Judge, I'm going to ask
that you ROR my client.

Ms. Sullivan, there's no
way in God's holy creation

- I'm doing that.
- As I'm sure you are aware,

he has a matter in
front of Judge Blackburn.

Oh, I'm aware.
The whole building's aware.

The People are offering 90 days
on the new drug case.

- 90 days?
- I'll set $2,500 bail.

- On a weed case?
- It's a very serious charge.

Okay, 90 days to cover
the marijuana and the perjury.

We haven't voted on the perjury yet.

You walk into Blackburn's
courtroom with a guilty plea

on the perjury, she is
completely validated.

Alright. But there's nothing I
can do on the contempt charge.

That is between you and the Judge.

Good morning.

In light of Mr. Henry's guilty
plea to the perjury charge

in this case, I will dismiss
the contempt of court charge.

He has taken responsibility
for his actions,

and the court is satisfied.

- Thank you, Your Honor.
- That being said, Ms. Sullivan,

your behavior in this
case has been unpardonable.

- Your Honor, how is that?
- Uh-uh!

You have a duty to defend your client,

but, first, you are an
officer of this court

and you must operate effectively
within the judicial system.

Instead, you conspired

to expose this court to
ridicule and mistrust.

For that reason, you are hereby banned

from ever appearing
before or practicing law

in front of me again.

Your Honor...

I appreciate the fact
that you acknowledge that

in light of all that has
transpired between us,

you cannot be fair to
either me or my client.

- Oh no, actually...
- No, truly!

- Ms. Sullivan, that is not...
- That you can be bigger woman

and admit your bias
is truly exceptional.

So let me commend and thank you.

We are adjourned.

- Anthony, I am so sorry.
- It's not your fault.

Is there an official document
banning you, or something?

I don't think so, why?

�Cause I think I would
like a copy for inspiration

as I write the first
Veronica Sullivan novel.

Veronica? Is that her name?

It means �She who brings victory�.

Except I didn't win. I lost.

You fought for your
client like a mother-bear.

- And that's what counts.
- Thank you.

I should've never
answered that jury summons.

You did the right thing.

Going' to jail, for doing what's right.

- It's crazy.
- I know it is.

? Faces I love ?

? Craving for some feeling ?

? Game's up ?

Look, I know this office runs on gossip,

so I want to get to
hear it from your first.

- Blackburn had it coming...
- I'm promoting Charlie

to Supervisor.

Wait, what? Because of
Blackburn, seriously?

You know her banning
me was just punishment

for me recusing her from my case, right?

Tom, she was gonna
seriously hurt my client!

There was a full PD
shutdown because of it!

- And you're blaming me?
- Of course I'm blaming you!

Tom, I went to bat for my client!

You are punishing me for giving a shit.

Charlie is damn good at his
job but nobody in this office

works harder or cares more than me!

When you have tunnel vision,
you don't think things through.

You get obsessed with
something and you pursue it

with such a single-minded purpose

that you don't look at
the wreckage around you,

or what you're doing to yourself!
I see the crap that you eat.

You over-extend yourself.

And I know first-hand what that does.

You're slowly killing yourself.

- But, Tom, that has nothing...
- There's no buts.

? I'm stuck here in my skin ?

? I'm stuck, I'm stuck ?

? Tell me it gets easier ?

? Tell me it gets easier ?

- I only have 15 minutes.
- This won't take that long.

Don't undercut yourself, Mister.

I just wanted you to know

that I'm not cheating on Audrey anymore.

Really?

Well, what do you call this?

I'm not cheating on
her because I left her.

- You what?
- Now we can really be together.

Of course, I'll have to recuse myself.

What do you think this is, exactly?

A relationship.

My daddy was a
no-account son of a bitch,

but he taught me one thing
that turned out to be true:

you don't look for love
where you look for sex.

Why did you have to mess this up?

Well, listen, thanks so
much for coming by Earl.

- I really appreciate it.
- Dad?

Gwen! What are you doing here?

Well, your father already
beat you to it, Ms. Sullivan.

Alright, Earl, always great to see you.

- Great to see you!
- You take care.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Dad, exactly what do you
think you're doing here?

Sweetheart, you were
banned from ever appearing

before a judge again.
I was just trying to help.

You weren't trying to help me!

You were trying to help your reputation.

- That is not fair.
- You know you haven't set foot

in this building to
come and see me in court,

but you'll come here to save face?

Why is it that you can't accept my help?

You haven't even cashed
the check that I sent you.

You didn't send it to me.
You sent it to my roommate.

And I would appreciate it if
you did not get between us.

- And I don't need your help.
- Obviously, you do.

You know, you can't just throw

your money and your criticism around

and call it parenting.

It didn't work for David
and it won't work for me.

Gwen!

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hamilton Heights money must be nice.

You sure you're up
for this? After today?

Yeah, you won. Congratulations.

I'm talking about what
happened with Blackburn.

Oh, sorry. Seriously, no gloating?

Oh, I'm gonna gloat. Just later.

It's no fun kicking
you when you're down.

You really clean up nice.
You are killing that dress!

- Thank you!
- Oh, you know what?

- I saw that tag in the back.
- No, just... just tuck it!

My people. My people.

Gwen! I heard you had a day.

It means so much to us that
you could still make it.

Oh, of course! Congratulations!

Oh, no, no. The
invitation said no gifts.

Yeah, but nobody ever means that.

We do. Donations only.

To the Plentiful Hope
Children's Foundation.

Excuse me.

- Hey, glad you could make it!
- Bennett!

- Charlie!
- Thank you for having us.

Of course, of course.

Okay. Groom's most romantic spot.

Oh, Montmartre! Next to the
Basilica du Sacr�-Coeur,

- in Paris, where he proposed.
- Aww.

Correct! His favorite drink?

Oh! Captain and Coke back in college!

Bro. Where have you been?

Now he likes big Italian reds.
I'd say a Barolo like Massolino.

Yes. Favorite comfort food?

Oh, my dairy-free Mac and Cheese.

- Chicken and waffles.
- Yes! Chicken and waffles!

Baby, you don't even eat meat anymore.

A man can reminisce, can't he?

What's the one thing
Bennett would save in a fire?

- Photographs.
- His manuscripts.

Gwen got it! Favorite
athlete of all time.

- Oh, Michael Jordan!
- No, Bill Russell!

Damn, girl, you're killing it!

Hey, is she your sister or something?

�Cause that's cheating!

What was the first car Bennett drove?

I don't even know.

It was a 1974 Volkswagen
Karmann Ghia convertible,

orange with gray interior, four-speed.

Shit! Shit!

Sorry!

Is this the bathroom?

No gifts, huh? That's some
passive-aggressive bullshit.

- I'm sorry, uh...
- No, it's...

It's okay. I spilled
something on my dress and...

- We have a guest bathroom.
- I know, but...

Bill Russell changed
the face of basketball.

And you have always
loved chicken and waffles.

And your orange Karmann Ghia!

How does she not know those things?

And why not me, Bennett?

? Wait, all that I did Was wait ?

? Wait, and I dreamed
That you said my name ?

? Wait, but it only Caused me pain ?

? When I wait, no I still
didn't see your face ?

? And you just left me
In your blind spot ?

? Drive off, tell me
I'm your everything ?

? Know I didn't mean a thing ?

? Don't you tell me That our time's up ?

? My love, hit you Like a bullet train ?

? Now you want it Back again ?

? I've been over thinking ?

? I was hoping hard
And hanging on for us ?

? 'Cause you left me Like a spirit ?

? Just a ghost of you
To haunt me through the dust ?

? I've been over thinking ?

? I was hoping hard
And hanging on for us ?

? 'Cause you left me Like a spirit ?

? Just a ghost of you
To haunt me through the dust ?

Showing up the bride-to-be
must have been exhausting.

- What's your problem?
- No, no problem.

Just don't like being dragged
to some whack-ass bougie party

- just so you could...
- What?

Where did you disappear to, anyway?

- I was talking to other people.
- Who?

- I was talking to Bennett.
- For that long?

Ah, hell no.

You had sex with him.
At the man's wedding shower!

That's cold. Even I wouldn't do that.

It was a bad choice.

You are the queen of bad choices.

Buy clothes you can't
afford, not paying your bills,

getting banned by a judge...

Maybe that's why Tom
didn't make you Supervisor.

[BLEEP] you, Charlie.

Pull the car over, please.
I don't need this shit.

Hey, Sharon, it's me.

Yeah, I remember.
What are you doing tonight?

? It's not what you said
It's how you said it ?

? And don't you say you love me
When you know you'll regret it ?

? It's not what we did
It's what we didn't ?

? We've been losing time
And don't know how to admit it ?

? When love don't feel right ?

? We get along
Get along on the outside ?

? Head out the door
But our hearts on the inside ?

? Love, hearts ain't gonna
Hearts ain't gonna lie ?

? We're half of the same... ?

? Don't take that the wrong way
You know what I mean ?

? Hearts ain't gonna
Hearts ain't gonna lie ?

? Won't do this again ?

? Don't take that the wrong way
You know what I mean ?

? Hearts ain't gonna
Hearts ain't gonna lie ?

Next time on "In Contempt"...

There's obviously unfinished
business between the two of you.

I want you to finish it.
I'm giving you 30 days.

Pack a bag. That 30 days
starts right now.

I've been stopped like 40 times.

- Excuse me?
- Three times by this same cop.

That cop stopped my client for
no other reason than he's black!

You know it, I know it,
and she knows it.

Holy shit! Tessa?

Oh, I just saw on
Twitter you got engaged!

This must be your fianc�e. Alison?

No, actually, this is my sister.
