Katheryn: SPOKE TO GOVERNOR HARVEY.
HE AND HIS WIFE SEND BIRTHDAY WISHES.
WHAT'S THAT GONNA COST US?
A FUNDRAISER DINNER NEXT MONTH.
I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO DO THAT.
I THOUGHT YOU'D SAY THAT.
ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
But you said that for a reason.
AND SILENCE.
Okay.
WHAT TIME WILL YOU BE HOME?
I HAVE NO IDEA. THIS CASE HAS GOT
MORE TWISTS AND TURNS THAN A ROLLER COASTER.
YOU'RE THE JUDGE. [ SCOFFS ]
TELL THEM TO WRAP IT UP SO YOU CAN GET HOME.
YEAH, I'LL DO MY BEST.
JIM, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.
And our children will be home tonight
for a surprise dinner.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?
YOU'RE 50.
IT'S A BIG DEAL.
Okay.
I'LL TRY TO GET HOME BY 9:00.
6:00, AND NOT A MOMENT LATER.
FINE. FINE.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HEY, I THINK THAT'S, UH,
I THINK THAT'S DAVID AT THE DOOR. I GOT TO GO.
OKAY.
TELL HIM I SAID HI.
WILL DO.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
HI.
ARE YOU...CANDY?
YEAH.
ARE YOU JIM?
YES.
HMM.
COME ON IN.
I THOUGHT I WAS COMING TO SEE SOME OLD MAN.
I AM OLD.
YOU DON'T LOOK IT.
FLATTERY WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE.
WELL, MONEY...
WILL GET YOU...
...THIS.
THEN IT'S A GOOD THING I HAVE SOME.

SO, YOU WORKED FOR THE WELDRICKS?
MM‐HMM. FOR 20 YEARS.
AND MY MOTHER BEFORE ME.
SAD.
CANCER, RIGHT?
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.
WELL, DARLING, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BECOME
GAINFULLY EMPLOYED, YOU SHOULD BE MORE FORTHCOMING.
ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME ‐‐ ANYTHING AT ALL ‐‐
I'M WILLING TO SHARE.
BUT I CAN'T TALK ABOUT MY PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS.
SO, WHAT WOULD SHE SAY ABOUT YOU,
IF SHE WERE ALIVE, THAT IS?
WELL, SINCE SHE CAN'T, I CAN TELL YOU
THAT I WAS HER HOUSEKEEPER AND CAREGIVER FOR MANY YEARS.
SHE WAS A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
THAT HUSBAND OF HERS ‐‐ SUCH A WANDERING EYE,
AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT FOR FEMALES.
IT'S A SMALL TOWN.
WAS HE REALLY SLEEPING WITH THAT YOUNG MAN?
MRS. CRYER, I'M WASTING YOUR TIME.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE PLACE FOR ME.
BUT I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE
WHO'LL BE GREAT FOR THIS JOB.
SIT DOWN, HANNA.
MY FAMILY HAS BEEN KNOWN
TO HAVE A FEW SKELETONS IN OUR CLOSET,
AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THEY STAY THERE,
ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
SO EVERYONE I HIRE COMES UNDER EXTREME SCRUTINY.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES.
GOOD.
SO, DOES THAT MEAN I'M HIRED?
YES, AND YOU CAN START RIGHT NOW.
CELINE?
[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING ]
WILL YOU SHOW HANNA WHAT SHE'LL BE DOING?
YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DON'T THANK ME YET.
YOU HAVEN'T MET MY FAMILY.
AND, HANNA, CONFIDENTIALITY IS KEY TO KEEPING YOUR JOB.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH ME.
THANK YOU.
GOSH. OH, YOU'RE WELCOME. [ CHUCKLES ]
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING ME THIS INTERVIEW, CELINE.
WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR, HANNA?
I'D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU. MM.
HOW'S YOUR FAMILY?
OH, GOSH. MY FAMILY.
MY KIDS ARE GOOD.
CAN'T COMPLAIN.
THEY'RE OUT OF TROUBLE, WHICH IS ALWAYS WONDERFUL.
HOW ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND?
YEAH, YOU NOTICED I DIDN'T MENTION HIM, HUH?
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
HOW'S BENNY?
OH, HE'S GREAT.
GIRL, HE'S TRYING TO GET A TOW TRUCK.
IS HE REALLY?
START HIS OWN BUSINESS.
OH, BLESS HIM. YES.
LOVE THAT KID.
HOW'S HIS DAD?
MM, AND WE WON'T TALK ABOUT HIM.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
THAT BAD, HUH?
YES. PLEASE. [ SIGHS ]
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA SAY THIS,
BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT WOMAN DIED.
THAT IS NOT NICE, CELINE.
WELL, SHE WAS KIND OF CRAZY, HANNA.
WELL, WE WERE FRIENDS, THANK YOU.
OKAY. SORRY.
WHAT'S SHE LIKE?
KATHERYN? MM‐HMM.
KATHERYN ‐‐ SHE'S, UM...
SHE'S A HANDFUL.
[ Laughing ] YEAH, I CAN TELL.
BUT IF YOU DO YOUR JOB,
YOU KNOW, YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
OKAY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT? SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST THINK YOU HAVE
YOUR LIFE SETTLED IN AT ONE POINT, AND ‐‐
AND IT ALL GETS TURNED AROUND.
BUT, BLESS THE LORD, I HAVE A JOB.
YES, YOU DO.
SO, WHAT DO I DO?
FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS GET YOU FITTED FOR A UNIFORM.
I THINK SOMETHING WILL FIT YOU. I'M NOT SURE.
OH, YOU WATCH IT. WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
OH.
[ SIGHS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ LAUGHS ]
WOW.
[ LAUGHS ]
I SHOULD BE SAYING "WOW."
[ SIGHS ]
YOU REALLY ARE HANDSOME.
OH, AND YOU REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ARE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE TOO HANDSOME TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SEX.
AND YOU'RE TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE SELLING IT.
[ LAUGHS ] HMM.
I GUESS EVERYBODY HAS A STORY.
I GUESS.
SO, WHAT IS YOUR STORY, CANDY?
MINE IS TO NOT KISS AND TELL.
OH. Shh.
MM‐HMM. [ LAUGHS ]
YOU?
WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BETTER FIRST.
DOES THAT MEAN, UH, YOU WANT TO SEE ME AGAIN?
I WOULD LOVE [LAUGHS] ‐‐ I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
REALLY? REALLY.
MM.
[ SIGHS ] WELL, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST.
NO. COME ON. THAT'S INSANE. [ LAUGHS ]
REALLY? YEP, REALLY.
[ LAUGHS ]
WELL, I'M HONORED.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HERE IS...
MY PERSONAL NUMBER.
WOW. UH‐HUH.
I WANT YOU TO USE IT... ANYTIME.
AND I MIGHT'VE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT SOME MONEY ON THE DRESSER.
MONEY ON THE DRESSER.
YOU MUST BE IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
NO MONEY EXCHANGES HANDS.
Shh, shh, shh.
MINE'S NOT TO KISS AND TELL.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HANNA.

BE SURE TO CLEAN BEHIND THESE DRAPES.
THEY COLLECT DUST LIKE A GRAVE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THE LAST MAID NEVER DID.
YES, MA'AM.
AND MAKE SURE CELINE HAS BOTH MY CHILDREN'S ROOMS READY.
YES, MA'AM.
AND WYATT HAS ALLERGIES.
ALLERGIC TO EVERYTHING.
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO FABRIC SOFTENER ON HIS SHEETS.
YES, MA'AM.
WATER ALL THESE PLANTS.
DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN?
YES, MA'AM, I DO. HOW MANY?
TWO. A BOY AND A GIRL.
SAME FOR ME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
KAT?
IN HERE.
[ SIGHS ]
THERE YOU ARE.
OOH. [ SIGHS ]
WE DID IT.
WHAT?
THE MERGER.
CONGRATULATIONS.
OH, THANK YOU
FOR ALL THE PHONE CALLS TO THE BOARD.
MM, DON'T MENTION IT.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING WYATT INTO YOUR FACILITY.
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MENTION.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR THE WILSONS TO SELL THEIR FACILITIES FOR YEARS.
MY BIGGEST COMPETITOR IS OUT OF BUSINESS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
WE NEED CHAMPAGNE.
YOU CAN'T HAVE CHAMPAGNE.
NO, BUT YOU CAN.
I'LL HAVE SPARKLING WATER.
WE SHOULD TOAST.
ABSOLUTELY.
CHAMPAGNE, PLEASE, HANNA,
AND SOME SPARKLING WATER FOR VERONICA.
WHO IS THAT?
WHO?
THAT HEIFER WHO THREW ME HER COAT.
OH, YOU HAD THE HONOR OF MEETING MISS VERONICA.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THIS GOES.
HERE. I'LL TAKE IT.
SHE IS THE WORST.
UGH.
I CAN'T STAND BLACK PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
WHO THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.
SHE PROBABLY AIN'T GOT A POT TO PISS IN
NOR A WINDOW TO THROW IT OUT OF.
OH, NO, NO.
SHE'S GOT MONEY. MM.
SHE'S WORTH $20 MILLION.
WHAT? MM‐HMM.
SHE MARRIED INTO IT?
NO. HER HUSBAND'S A JUDGE.
HE WORKS WITH JIM, KATHERYN'S HUSBAND.
HE WHITE?
NO. BLACK.
AND SHE WANTS SPARKLING WATER.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SHE'S ACTUALLY A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC.
MM.
BEEN SOBER 20 YEARS, I HEAR.
SHE FOUNDED THIS, UM,
SUPERDUPER PROMINENT REHAB CENTER DOWN BY THE BEACH.
[ SCOFFS ] GREAT.
THE BLACK BETTY FORD.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ Singsong voice ] YOU'RE GONNA GET INTO TROUBLE
IF YOU KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT.
[ LAUGHS ]
THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GONNA START THE DAY, HUH?
YES, I AM. YOU WANT SOME?
[ Laughing ] NO.
YOU AND DAVID WILL BE HERE TONIGHT
FOR JIM'S BIRTHDAY PARTY?
OF COURSE WE WILL.
HOW OFTEN DOES OUR GOOD FRIEND TURN 50?
MM.
HOW'S HE FEELING ABOUT TURNING 50, ANYWAY?
I'M STILL WAITING
FOR THE MIDLIFE CRISIS TO KICK IN.
I EXPECT A RED SPORTS CAR
TO SHOW UP IN THE DRIVEWAY ANY SECOND.
HE'LL PROBABLY TRADE ME IN FOR A YOUNGER VERSION.
NOT IF HE KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIM.
MM.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PERKS OF BEING AN HEIRESS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS SOME THERAPY.
WHY ARE YOU STILL ARGUING ABOUT THIS?
WHY DO I WANT MORE HEROIN WHEN I'M WITH YOU
THAN WITHOUT YOU?
FOLLOW ME EVERY‐DAMN‐WHERE I GO.
YES I DO, AND I JUST TOLD YOU.
Veronica: OH, WYATT.
HOW ARE YOU?
BETTER IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE THIS GUY
FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, WYATT.
HI, SON. HI, MOM.

HELLO, JEFFREY.
HI.
SON.
MOM.
HOW ARE YOU?
[ SCOFFS ]
GREAT.
COULDN'T BE BETTER.
WHOA. WHERE YOU GOING?

CAN I DO THAT ALONE?
WYATT, YOU KNOW JEFFREY HAS TO GO WITH YOU
FOR THE FIRST 60 DAYS.
IT'S THE BATHROOM.
WYATT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
STOP IT!
SEE?
GOT NOTHING.
MY SON.
THAT'S ‐‐ SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
WE HAVE OUR HANDS FULL WITH THAT ONE, I TELL YOU.

I WILL SEE YOU TONIGHT AT DINNER.
OKAY.
7:00.
[ SMOOCHES ] 7:00.
HAT, COAT, PLEASE!
HEY. HI.
OH, PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T CROSS THE LIVING ROOM.
I DID.
OH, GOD, DON'T. ALWAYS USE THE BACK STAIRS.
SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO SEE EITHER ONE OF US
UNLESS SHE CALLS FIRST, OKAY?
OKAY. I SEE. WHY?
I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S JUST THE WAY SHE IS.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS HER SON, WYATT'S, ROOM.
THIRD STINT IN REHAB, BY THE WAY.
MM.
HE'S ALWAYS WITH THIS YOUNG MAN NAMED JEFFREY, WHO ‐‐
HE'S KIND OF LIKE HIS, I DON'T KNOW,
LIFE COACH, COUNSELOR.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO CALL HIM.
HELP ME FINISH THE ROOM, YEAH?
HI, CELINE.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
WHO'S THIS?
WYATT, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU
UNLESS YOU PUT CLOTHES ON.
WE'RE ALL BORN THIS WAY.
JUST CAME TO USE MY BATHROOM.
OKAY.
[ DOOR CLOSES ]
HE WAS BORN DEPRIVED.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
SORRY ABOUT THAT. EXCUSE ME.
MM‐HMM.
HE GOT TO GO TO THE BATHROOM WITH HIM, TOO?
SEE? MM‐HMM.
OOH, GIRL.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
SO, NOTHING'S CHANGED.
ACTUALLY, IT HAS, MS. CRYER.
I MEAN, HE'S BEEN CLEAN FOR 47 DAYS.
BUT HE STILL GETS VERY AGITATED
AT HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE REAL WORLD.
I TOLD YOU, YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT.
YOUR MOTHER KEEPS REITERATING THAT.
WILL YOU BE STAYING ALL WEEKEND?
WELL, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE COULD LET HIM OUT.
VERY WELL, THEN.
I'LL HAVE THEM PREPARE THE GUEST ROOM.
OKAY, AND I'LL HAVE TO STAY IN HIS ROOM.
RIGHT.
[ SIGHS ] HONEY.
I SEE YOU MADE IT, AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON.
HI, JEFFREY. WHY? WHAT'S UP?
YOUR SON.
WYATT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DAD.
PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON. LISTEN.
I SAID PUT YOUR DAMN CLOTHES ON NOW!
I'LL GET IT. I GOT IT.
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
YOU CAN'T WANDER AROUND THE HOUSE NAKED.
UM...
JEFFREY, AM I GONNA
HAVE TO TALK TO YOUR FATHER ABOUT THIS, HMM?
NO, HE ‐‐
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE? ANYTHING?
I'M SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY SO THAT YOU CAN HELP MY SON.
ARE YOU HELPING MY SON?
YES, MR. CRYER. ANY SUCCESS?
HE'S DOING A LOT BETTER. REALLY?
BUT I'M ONLY AS GOOD AS MY PATIENT ALLOWS ME TO BE.
WYATT, YOU AND I HAD A DEAL.
I'M TRYING. WELL, TRY HARDER!
I NEED A DRINK. WYATT.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T DRINK.
I KNOW, BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP ME FROM WANTING A DRINK.
DO YOU NOT EVEN KNOW THE POINT OF REHAB?
JIM, DON'T GET WORKED UP.
WHAT?
IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY,
AND WE HAVE A LOVELY EVENING PLANNED.
DON'T ‐‐ WYATT, COOL IT.
JIM, ENOUGH.

HEY, SWEETHEART. HOW ARE YOU? MWAH!

I'LL TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. COME ON!
OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT.
WHERE ARE YOU?
JIM, JEFFREY IS STAYING ALL WEEKEND.
HE'S STAYING IN HIS ROOM.
HE IS WATCHING EVERY MINUTE.
EVERYBODY...
AND THAT'S ALL WE CAN HOPE FOR.
...THIS IS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

YOU'RE JOKING. NO. I'M NOT.
WELL, MY HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE.
THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY.
IT'S OKAY.
HE WAS OLD, BUT I LOVED HIM.
SAD. YEAH.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
I'M JUST A LITTLE OVERWHELMED.
WHY? YOUR PARENTS.
[ CHUCKLES ] WHAT ABOUT THEM?
ARE YOU SURE THEY DON'T MIND ME BEING HERE?
NO. THEY DON'T MIND AT ALL.
ARE YOU SURE?
[ Chuckling ] YES.
JUST RELAX.
BUT IT'S YOUR FATHER'S PRIVATE DINNER.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
MY DAD LOVES WHEN GUESTS ARE HERE AT THE HOUSE.
ARE YOU SURE?
YOU'VE ALREADY SAID THAT. IT'S FINE.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
I'M WEARING...
THIS.

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
OH.
LET'S SEE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN ONE OF THESE THREE.
WOW.

SO I COULD PICK ONE.
WELL.
SO, WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK?
I THINK THEY ARE ALL REALLY NICE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU DON'T LIKE THEM.
NO, I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
THEN WHAT IS IT?
[ SIGHS ] THEY'RE JUST SO...
"SO" WHAT?
MATRONLY.
THEY DON'T SHOW YOUR CURVES AND YOUR SKIN.
I DON'T HAVE CURVES.
YES, YOU DO.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
NO, I'M NOT.
WHAT MIRROR ARE YOU LOOKING INTO?
[ Chuckling ] COME ON, CANDACE.
I'M NOT LIKE YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN, IF I HAD ALL THAT YOU HAVE...
[CHUCKLES] I WOULD BE HAPPY.
I AM HAPPY.
GOOD.
COME ON, LET'S TRY ON THESE DRESSES.
NO.
WHY?
I'LL JUST TRY THEM ON IN THE BATHROOM.
WHY?
I JUST LIKE TO TRY THEM ON IN PRIVATE.
[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY. YOU DON'T MIND?
NO. GO AHEAD.
OKAY. YEAH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GIFT.
WELL, OPEN IT.
OKAY.
I'M GUESSING MAYBE A TIE.
NOW, THAT'S NOT JUST ANY TIE.
WE GOT IT AT A CHARITY AUCTION.
IT WAS ONCE WORN BY A PRESIDENT.
OR AT LEAST THAT'S THE LIE THEY TOLD US
TO GET US TO PAY MORE FOR IT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHICH PRESIDENT?
WE WON'T SAY, OR YOUR FATHER WON'T WEAR IT.
[ LAUGHTER ] SMART WOMAN.
YOU'LL WEAR IT. IT WAS EXPENSIVE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
IT WAS FOR CHARITY.
DAVID, STOP IT.
WELL, THANK YOU.
DAD, YOU'RE NOT USUALLY THIS QUIET AROUND PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
WELL, IT'S BEEN
A VERY [CHUCKLES] VERY LONG AND TEDIOUS DAY, SWEETHEART,
AND I CERTAINLY COULD USE SOME BRANDY.
OF COURSE.
HANNA, WILL YOU BRING MR. CRYER SOME BRANDY, PLEASE?

AND SOME SPARKLING WATER FOR THE HARRINGTONS, PLEASE.
HANNA? DRINKS.
SO, CANDACE, YOU GO TO SCHOOL WITH AMANDA.
YES, SHE DOES.
YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW BRILLIANT SHE IS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
ALL THE PROFESSORS LOVE HER.
[ SCOFFS ] I BET THEY DO.
SHE'S HELPING ME PREPARE FOR AN EXAM NEXT WEEK.
SO, HOW IS LAW SCHOOL?
DIFFICULT.
DON'T WORRY. I'LL SHOW HER HOW TO PASS.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.
I LOVE IT ‐‐ A SMART, STRONG YOUNG WOMAN.
[ CHUCKLES ] WE SHOULD TOAST YOU.
THANK YOU.

MY DAD IS A DOCTOR AT THE WINSLOW CANCER INSTITUTE.
SO, SMART GENES RUN IN YOUR FAMILY.
MM‐HMM.
WHAT'S HIS NAME?
I HAVE A FRIEND ON THE BOARD THERE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
HE'S A VERY PRIVATE PERSON,
SO IF I MENTIONED HIM, HE'D BE REALLY UPSET.
OH, COME ON.
NOW, SWEETHEART, DON'T PRY.
SHE FASCINATES ME.
I LOVE A SMART GIRL...
[ CHUCKLES ]
...IN LAW SCHOOL.
YOU REMIND ME OF MYSELF.
Amanda: WELL, SHE WAS BORN TO BE A LAWYER.
I BET SHE IS.
WORKING THE LAW.
WYATT. WHAT?
STOP IT.
YES, STOP IT.
IT'S YOUR FATHER'S BIRTHDAY.
CAN'T YOU BEHAVE JUST ONCE?
MOM.
I KNOW YOU ARE UPSET.
UPSET?
[ SCOFFS ] YOU HAD ME COMMITTED.
WE DID WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR YOU.
BY LOCKING ME AWAY FOR MONTHS?
WYATT, THEY WERE ONLY DOING WHAT WAS BEST FOR YOU.
OUR FACILITY HAS HAD GREAT SUCCESS
WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM,
AND OUR SON IS DOING A WONDERFUL JOB.
YES, AND YOU OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL
INSTEAD OF SITTING THERE, WHINING ALL DAY.
GRATEFUL THAT YOU LOCKED ME UP?
YES. YOU HAD A DRUG PROBLEM.
WHAT WERE WE TO DO?
RIGHT.
YOU JUST DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO RUIN
YOUR PERFECT, LYING IMAGE.
OKAY, CALM DOWN, WYATT, OKAY?
SO, CANDACE...
...TELL US ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
[ SIGHS ]
MY MOM DIED WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS THINKING.
I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN
AT A PARTY.
I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE ‐‐
THANK GOODNESS THAT WASN'T THE GOVERNOR.
HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO FORGIVING.
I AM SO SORRY.
CELINE, WILL YOU DO THE SERVING, PLEASE?
YES, MA'AM. OF COURSE.
JUST STAY HERE.
IF YOU WERE NERVOUS, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
I'M NOT UP TO ANYTHING.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THESE PEOPLE?
AMANDA IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
YOU UP TO SOMETHING.
I'M IN SCHOOL NOW.
[ SCOFFS ] SCHOOL?
YEAH. LAW SCHOOL.
WHAT KIND OF CON OR GAME ARE YOU RUNNING NOW?
I'M NOT RUNNING ANY GAME.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WENT WRONG WITH YOU.
MM.
I PRAY TO GOD EVERY DAY THAT YOU'LL DO THE RIGHT THING.
LOOK AT YOU. DON'T.
AND YOU'RE WITH THAT LOWLIFE.
WHAT'S HE GOT YOU DOING NOW, HUH?
YOU TRYING TO ROB THESE PEOPLE?
THIS IS WHY I DO NOT TALK TO YOU.
WHERE'S YOUR SON?
YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
HE'S FINE.
GIRL, SOMETHING BAD IS GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU.
YOU CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS.
AND YOU CAN'T KEEP LIVING
WITH YOUR HEAD BURIED IN A BIBLE,
TRYING TO HIDE WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
YOU KNOW, THE APPLE DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE.
OH, GIRL, YOU JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.
NO.
MNH‐MNH.
I'M MORE LIKE YOU THAN YOU WILL ADMIT.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE PEOPLE WAITING FOR ME.
GO ON BACK TO YOUR MAIDING AND FETCHING, MAMA.

YOU JUST GOT THIS JOB. YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER. WHO?
CANDACE ‐‐ THE GIRL IN THERE.
WHAT?
AND SHE'S UP TO SOMETHING.
I KNOW HER.
WAIT, I‐I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR FOUR YEARS.
YOU'VE NEVER TALKED TO ME ABOUT A DAUGHTER.
I PUT HER OUT OF MY HOUSE.
SHE WAS HANGING WITH THE WRONG CROWD.
JUST BAD NEWS, JUST TROUBLE.
NOW I GOT TO GO IN THERE AND TELL THESE PEOPLE ‐‐
NO. NO.
HANNA, DON'T.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE I KNOW THESE CRYERS,
AND THEY'LL THINK
THAT YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS.
OH.
SHE'S ONLY HERE FOR THE WEEKEND.
JUST ‐‐ JUST GET HER OUT OF HERE.
JUST KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
WELL, WHAT IF THEY FIND OUT?
SHE DOESN'T WANT THEM TO,
TRUST ME, JUST LIKE YOU DON'T.
I'VE WORKED HERE FOR YEARS,
AND YOU KNOW HOW I'VE MANAGED TO KEEP THIS JOB?
BY KEEPING MY MOUTH SHUT.
YOU UNDERSTAND? YEAH.
OKAY, FINE.
I'LL KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT
UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
GOOD. BUT I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
THIS IS NOT GONNA END GOOD AT ALL.
I KNOW MY CHILD.
MAYBE SHE'S CHANGED. [ SCOFFS ]
NO. NOT HER.
HANNA, LOOK.
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY, REALLY.
SHE WANTS YOU TO GO HOME,
OHH. JUST ‐‐ JUST FOR TONIGHT.
WE'LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW, OKAY?
THIS IS GONNA BE BAD, CELINE.

LOOK, MA, I KNOW THINGS ARE KIND OF TIGHT AROUND HERE.
I, UH... I CALLED HIM UP.
SAID I GOT 24 HOURS TO RETURN IT
IF WE NEED ME TO TAKE IT BACK, SO...
OH, NO, SIR.
THIS IS YOUR DREAM. DON'T YOU DARE.
[ LAUGHS ]
HOW WAS YOUR FIRST DAY WITH THE NEW FAMILY?
[ CHUCKLES ]
IT WAS FINE. YEAH?
UNTIL YOUR SISTER SHOWED UP.
SAY WHAT?
YOUR SISTER SHOWED UP AT THESE PEOPLE'S HOUSE
WITH THEIR DAUGHTER,
TALKING ABOUT SHE WAS A COLLEGE STUDENT,
LYING TO THESE PEOPLE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TELLING YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
AND SHE HAD THE NERVE TO SAY THAT HER DADDY WAS A DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW HOW BAD I NEED THIS JOB.
YEAH. SHE GONNA MAKE ME LOSE IT.
NO, SHE WON'T. YES, SHE IS.
SHE HATES ME, BENNY.
MAMA, SHE DON'T HATE YOU.
YES, SHE DOES.
SHE TOLD THOSE PEOPLE THAT I WAS DEAD.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR SISTER, LYING LIKE THAT,
LYING ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE?
I MEAN, SHE IS IN SCHOOL.
YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?
I MEAN, COME ON, MOM, CUT HER A BREAK.
YOU KNOW, SHE'S IN COLLEGE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WAS AFRAID YOU'D BE UPSET.
I WASN'T GONNA BE UPSET ABOUT HER GOING TO COLLEGE.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW SHE'S PAYING FOR IT.
IS THAT BOY PAYING FOR IT?
I'M NOT SURE, YOU KNOW? SHE DIDN'T TELL ME.
YEAH, I BET HE IS.
LOOK, MA, WHOEVER'S PAYING FOR IT,
JUST LET IT BE, ALL RIGHT?
SHE'LL GET A JOB. ALL RIGHT?
SHE'LL GET HER LIFE TOGETHER, YOU KNOW?
IT'S ALL GOOD.
COME ON, I MADE YOUR FAVORITE.
YEAH, DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP.
THAT GIRL HAS DISAPPOINTED ME AT EVERY TURN.
AND WHERE IS HER BABY?
SHE SAID SHE HAS A NANNY.
A NANNY?
[ SCOFFS ]
THAT GIRL LEFT OUT OF HERE 18 MONTHS AGO, BROKE,
AND NOW SHE GOT A NANNY?
[ SIGHS ]
SHE GONNA ROB THEM PEOPLE BLIND, BENNY.
MM.
SHE'S JUST NO GOOD.
THAT'S YOUR DAUGHTER YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND SHE'S ALSO HER FATHER'S DAUGHTER.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW TWO KIDS RAISED IN THE SAME HOUSE
CAN BE SO DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT DADDIES.
BUT RELAX.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
WORKING UP YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, RIGHT?
MM‐HMM. COME ON.
I MADE YOU SOME DINNER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO WITHOUT YOU.

David: GOOD NIGHT, SON.
WELL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. IT'S OVER NOW.
HEY, ENJOY YOURSELF.
IT GETS BETTER NOW AFTER 50.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE HEARD. I'LL GET YOUR CAR.
WE NEED TO TALK. Jim: MM‐HMM.
THAT WAS LOVELY.
THANK YOU.

WHO?
[ SCOFFS ] WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
NOT WANTING TO TELL US HER FATHER'S NAME?
MAYBE SHE HAS GOOD REASON.
OR MAYBE SHE'S LYING.
WATCH HER.
OKAY.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, JIM.
GOOD NIGHT. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE TIE.
GOOD NIGHT, KATHERYN.
GOOD NIGHT.
DAD, AREN'T YOU GONNA STAY UP AND TALK?
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER.
SWEETHEART, I'VE ‐‐ I'VE HAD A VERY TRYING DAY.
I'M JUST GONNA GET SOME REST, OKAY?
OKAY. I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO, SWEETIE.
GOOD NIGHT, MOM.
Katheryn: GOOD NIGHT, SWEETIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
WELL, THAT WAS LOVELY.
YES, IT WAS.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
[ CHUCKLES ]
I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO YOU FOR 25 YEARS.
I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
WHAT IS IT?
NOTHING.
OKAY.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
YOU CAUGHT ME.
HER NAME IS AMANDA.
PERHAPS YOU'VE MET HER. SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER.
SHE CUTS HERSELF.
OR HIS NAME IS WYATT.
MAYBE YOU'VE MET HIM, TOO.
HE'S OUR SON. HE'S IN REHAB.
ARE YOU SURE THAT'S ALL IT IS?
TODAY, I'M 50 YEARS OLD.
MY DAUGHTER NEEDS THERAPY. SHE REFUSES IT.
MY SON IS IN THERAPY. HE'S DOING VERY POORLY.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S YOU AND I.
WE'RE DOING SO WELL.
YEAH. I'VE GOT THAT.
BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR,
AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD FOCUS ON
AND HOPE THAT THEY FIND THEIR WAY,
SUCH AS IT IS.
WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR,
DO ME A FAVOR.
PUT A YELLOW STICKY ON IT SO I'LL RECOGNIZE IT.
Amanda: [ SIGHS ] I'M STARVING.
Candace: I AM, TOO.
YEAH, THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS GREAT.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU WANT SOMETHING, WYATT?
UH, NO, THANKS. I'M GOOD.
MMM, MMM, MMM.
Benny: GOOD NIGHT, MAMA.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
[ SIGHS ]
[ CELLPHONE VIBRATING ]
SOMEBODY'S PURSE IS VIBRATING.
OH, THAT'S MINE.
THANKS.
[ VIBRATING CONTINUES ]
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
HELLO?
IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND?
HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
NO.
IS THERE A PLACE I COULD TAKE THIS?
YOU CAN TAKE IT IN MY DAD'S OFFICE.
IT'S THE SECOND DOOR ON THE LEFT.
SECOND DOOR ON THE LEFT. OKAY, THANKS.
MM‐HMM.
HELLO?
CANDACE, MOM IS VERY UPSET OVER HERE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WORKED HERE, BENNY.
WELL, THEN, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?
I CAN'T.
Why?
BECAUSE AMANDA IS MY FRIEND AND I'M HELPING HER.
Tell her to find another job.
NO, SHE NEEDS THAT ONE.
[ SIGHS ] IS THIS WHAT YOU CALLED ME ABOUT?
THAT AND TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE PAYING THE MORTGAGE THIS MONTH.
YES. I TOLD YOU I WOULD.
IS THAT ALL?
Candace, Mama thinks you're up to something.
[ SCOFFS ]
PLEASE TELL ME
YOU'RE NOT UP TO YOUR OLD TRICKS, "C."
NO. I'VE CHANGED.
WHY CAN'T SHE BELIEVE THAT?
BECAUSE IT'S MAMA.
[ SIGHS ]
LOOK, I GOT TO GO.
Wait. Wait.
I FINALLY GOT IT.
[ Chuckling ] OH, MY GOODNESS.
BENNY, YOU GOT THE TOW TRUCK?
YEAH. [ CHUCKLES ]
YEAH, I BOUGHT IT TODAY ‐‐ CASH.
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
YOU'VE WANTED TO BE A TOW‐TRUCK DRIVER
SINCE YOU WERE A LITTLE KID.
MAN, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BOTH ON THE CUSP OF OUR DREAMS.
[ CLICKS TONGUE ]
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
ALL RIGHT.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU MORE.
[ LAUGHS ] BYE.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ] OKAY.
[ DOOR CREAKS OPEN ]
[ MUFFLED SHOUT ] Shh, Shh, Shh.
HOW THE HELL LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN MY DAUGHTER?
THIS SEMESTER.
DOES SHE KNOW WHAT YOU DO? NO.
[ SIGHS ]
I'M SORRY THAT THIS HAPPENED.
I HAD NO IDEA.
I ‐‐ I HOPE I DIDN'T RUIN YOUR BIRTHDAY.
YEAH. ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
TOMORROW MORNING, WE'RE ALL GONNA GET TOGETHER
FOR BREAKFAST AT 7:00,
AND THEN I WANT YOU TO COME UP WITH SOME EXCUSE
AS TO WHY YOU HAVE TO LEAVE,
AND YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT OF MY HOUSE,
AND YOU'RE NEVER GONNA SPEAK TO MY DAUGHTER AGAIN.
JIM ‐‐
DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
I WILL NOT CAUSE YOU ANY HARM.
NO, BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE HERE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
SO, WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT WANTING TO SEE ME AGAIN...
YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT?
REALLY?
NO, OF COURSE NOT. NOT LIKE THIS.
SO, I'M ONLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE DARK.
YOU DON'T KNOW ME. I DON'T KNOW YOU.
OKAY, YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE. YOU'RE AMONG MY FAMILY.
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE. GET A GRIP.
I WANT YOU TO GET UP IN THE MORNING
AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE SOON.
JUST DO IT.
I DON'T THINK SO.
I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU SAY?
YOU HAVE A HEARING PROBLEM, HUH?
NO, I HEAR PRETTY GOOD. WHAT DID YOU SAY?
"I DON'T THINK SO."
I WANT $100,000,
AND I LOVE THAT LITTLE CAR
YOU BOUGHT FOR YOUR DAUGHTER, AMANDA.
DO YOU? MM‐HMM.
WELL, LISTEN TO ME, LITTLE GIRL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
LIKE I SAID... $100,000 CASH...
...OR...
I BURN YOUR LITTLE PLAYHOUSE DOWN.
NEXT WEEK ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK YOU AND JEFFREY COULD MAKE A NICE COUPLE.
WHO'S JEFFREY? UH.
IS JEFFREY GAY? WHAT?
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO LIVE LIKE THIS, MAMA?
I'M NOT PLAYING WITH YOU.
I'M JUST GLAD I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE HOUSE IN YOUR NAME.
IF IT GETS TOO BAD,
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE IT FROM US.
SO, WHO DO THEY WANT TO RUN?
THEY WANT YOU TO RUN.
MAYBE WE COULD DO IT AT THE HOUSE IN THE OFFICE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
