Narrator: PREVIOUSLY ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
YOU PRAY FOR ME. I WILL.
HERE IT GOES. TALK TO ME, BOY!
Wyatt: SHE'S NOT LEAVING, JEFFREY.
YES, SHE IS, WYATT. YOU KNOW WHAT?
UM, MAYBE THIS WASN'T A GOOD IDEA.
MOM, WYATT IS NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES!
GET OUT!
ARE YOU ASKING ME TO TAMPER WITH THE EVIDENCE?
I'M NOT ASKING YOU ANYTHING.
IF IT'S NOT YOU
THAT'S SLEEPING WITH THIS WHORE...
THEN IT HAS TO BE YOU, JIM.
ANYBODY?
VERONICA, WE NEED TO SPEAK IN PRIVATE.
NO. ENOUGH WITH THE PRIVACY.
I WANT ANSWERS, DAVID.
[ LAUGHS ] OKAY.
YOU ALL STAND HERE LIKE THE CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE.
JIM, DETECTIVE RANKINS,
WOULD YOU BE SO KIND AS TO GIVE ME AND MY WIFE A MOMENT?
SURE.
I'M HEADED TO YOUR BOSS NEXT, DETECTIVE,
IF I DON'T GET SOME ANSWERS.
VERONICA...
WHAT? ...LET THE MAN GO.
I DON'T ENJOY BEING MADE A FOOL OF.
HONEY, NO ONE'S TRYING TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOU.
THEN TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
I WANT TO.
THEN DO IT!
IT'S TOO COMPLICATED. OH, DAVID, PLEASE.
I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU.
FROM WHAT?!
IF I TOLD YOU, YOU WOULD NO LONGER BE PROTECTED.
HOW DEEP ARE YOU IN THIS?
VERONICA ‐‐ SPEAK!
I WILL NOT LET YOU IN ON THIS!
YOU ARE MY HUSBAND. [ SIGHS ]
IF YOU'RE IN IT, I'M ALREADY INVOLVED.
THIS WHOLE THING IS TOO UGLY.
DAVID, I'M LISTENING.
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I AM REPRESENTING A CLIENT.
I'M TRYING TO SOLVE A VERY COMPLEX
AND DIFFICULT SITUATION WITH THAT WOMAN.
CANDACE?
YES.
‐‐Captions by VITAC‐‐ www.vitac.com
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
CANDACE?
YES.
IS IT JIM?
NO. IT'S A CLIENT.
ARE YOU SURE?
YES.
THEN WHO IS IT?
I CAN'T TELL YOU, ESPECIALLY NOW.
IT ‐‐ IT'S BEST IF YOU DON'T KNOW.
[ CHUCKLES ]
ANOTHER THING I DON'T LIKE, DAVID ‐‐
BEING KEPT IN THE DARK.
SWEETHEART, I KNOW THAT.
BUT THIS IS HOW IT HAS TO BE.
SO THAT BOY IS SITTING IN JAIL,
AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING, AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME?
NO, I CANNOT.
IS HE INNOCENT?
INNOCENT?
I DON'T ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
WELL, YOU SEEMED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT UP UNTIL TODAY.
VERONICA, LET IT GO.
NO.
PLEASE. NO!
NOT UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
NOW, YOU CAN EITHER TELL ME OR I CAN FIND OUT ON MY OWN.
BUT IF I DO ALL THIS WORK
TO FIND OUT YOU'RE INVOLVED IN IT...
DAVID...
IT WILL BE HELL TO PAY.
HEY, THERE.
Wyatt: HI.
YOU BROUGHT FLOWERS?
YES.
WELL, THANKS, JEFFREY.
NO, NO, NO. HE PICKED THEM HIMSELF.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OH, WELL, THANK YOU.
SO, YOU GO HOME TODAY?
YEAH. MY DAD'S PICKING ME UP LATER.
OKAY. GOOD FOR YOU.
UM, WHERE'S MOM?
STILL ON VACATION.
OH. OKAY.
WELL, I'M SURE IF SHE KNEW, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.
I KNOW.
LET'S HOPE.
SHE WOULD HAVE, WYATT.
IF YOU SAY SO.
HOW ARE YOU, AMANDA?
I'M FINE. GOOD.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL THINK THAT WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS OCCURS,
IT'S USUALLY ‐‐
DON'T, JEFFREY. JUST DON'T.
YEAH. DON'T.
OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
I JUST THINK THAT
THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE SAID,
AND IT'S NOT HEALTHY TO LEAVE IT JUST FLOATING IN THE AIR.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU'RE SUCH A HYPOCRITE.
AND HOW IS THAT, WYATT?
I CAN'T DEAL WITH ANY OF THE FIGHTING.
YEAH, BUT HE SAID ‐‐
I CAN'T.
SORRY.
YOU LOOK GOOD, WYATT.
DO I? YEAH.
YOU SEEM HAPPY IN YOUR OWN CURMUDGING KIND OF WAY.
[ CHUCKLES ] WHAT'S GOING ON?
DO YOU REMEMBER LAURA? YEAH.
WE'RE BACK ON. WHAT?
MM‐HMM. YEAH.
I RAN INTO HER THE OTHER DAY.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING NONSTOP.
THAT'S GREAT.
YEAH.
IT'S LIKE I NEVER WENT AWAY.
SO ARE YOU GUYS SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN?
UH, NO, NO.
HE'S NOT SEEING HER. SHE JUST CAME BY THE HOUSE.
I'M SEEING HER.
LOOK AT YOU.
SHE'S MAKING YOU LIGHT UP AGAIN.
NO PUN INTENDED.
THAT'S NOT FUNNY, WYATT.
RELAX, JEFFREY. I'M TALKING TO MY SISTER.
I JUST THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT ‐‐
I KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF IT, OKAY?
NOW, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO BE WITH ME.
NOW CHILL!
[ CLEARS THROAT ] I'M SORRY.
UM, I'M SORRY, AMANDA. I'M JUST GONNA WAIT OUTSIDE.
GOOD.
[ DOOR SLAMS ]
WOW. HE'S UPSET.
OH, HE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.
[ SOBS ]
OH!
[ SIGHS ]
MAN, THAT WAS A WHILE AGO.
SO, HOW YOU BEEN? I'VE BEEN GOOD.
I CAME AS SOON AS I COULD, MAN.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
DO YOU KNOW A BENNY YOUNG?
YES, I DO.
REALLY?
YEAH.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
WELL, I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON HIM,
AND I SAW YOUR NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH
ON HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
YEAH, HE'S MY SON.
DAMN.
WHAT? WHY ARE YOU DOING RESEARCH ON HIM?
[ SIGHS ] HE'S IN TROUBLE.
WHAT? WHAT DID HE DO?
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR DRUG POSSESSION.
NO. I KNOW THAT KID.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING HIM FROM A DISTANCE.
HE WOULDN'T DO THAT. "FROM A DISTANCE"?
I'M NOT IN HIS LIFE.
WELL, I KNOW.
I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE IRAQ
AND YOU NEVER MENTIONED A SON.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION.
HIS MOTHER AND I ARE NOT CLOSE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
WHAT'S CRAZY?
[ SIGHS ]
I GOT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
OKAY.
UH, I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU.
WHAT, WHAT?
LOOK, THIS IS BAD.
IT'S REALLY BAD.
WILL YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON?
NO, I CAN'T TELL YOU, NOT YET.
BUT JUST KNOW THAT HE'S BEING RAILROADED.
BY WHO?
IF I TELL YOU THAT, THEY MAY COME AFTER ME.
AFTER YOU?
HOW FAR DOES THIS THING GO UP?
TO THE TOP OF THE BENCH.
OKAY.
WHAT CAN I DO?
NOTHING...YET.
I MAY BE FORCED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT.
BUT I'LL LET YOU KNOW. JUST SIT TIGHT.
AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME,
KNOW ‐‐ KNOW THAT HE'S INNOCENT.
LOOK, I GOT TO GO. IT'S NOT THE BEST PLACE TO TALK.
ALL RIGHT. CAN WE MEET LATER?
LOOK, I'LL CALL YOU.
[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]
[ DOOR OPENS ]
HEY, WYATT.
WHAT?
I, UM ‐‐ I HAVE SOME ERRANDS TO RUN,
SO I'M JUST GONNA CALL WILL, THE OTHER COUNSELOR,
AND HE'LL JUST BE WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, OKAY?
GOOD. I GET A CHANCE TO GET AWAY FROM YOU.
[ SIGHS ] OKAY.
UM, I'M SORRY.
AMANDA, FEEL BETTER,
AND I'LL JUST BE OUT HERE UNTIL HE COMES.
Amanda: THANKS.
YOU DO THAT, JEFFREY!
[ GROANS ]
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
[ SIGHS ]
IT HURTS WHEN I MOVE.
WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW PAIN
UNTIL YOU TRY TO STAND UP STRAIGHT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
HOW ARE YOUR SPIRITS?
I'M RELIEVED IT'S OVER.
YES, IT IS.
MS. CRYER, I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.
HMM?
IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED, GOOD OR BAD,
WHILE YOU WERE AWAY RESTING, WOULD YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU?
YES. OF COURSE.
THEN I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT IS IT, HANNA?
IT'S ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.
WHAT ABOUT AMANDA?
MS. CRYER, AMANDA TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
NO! SHH!
IS SHE OKAY?
MM! SHE'S FINE, SHE'S FINE.
[ WHIMPERS ]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER.
I TOLD YOU SHE WAS FRAGILE.
SHE CANNOT HANDLE ANYTHING.
WHAT DID SHE DO?
WELL, SHE TOOK A WHOLE LOT OF PILLS.
BUT THEY FOUND HER IN TIME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, HANNA.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER.
WE HAVE GIVEN HER EVERYTHING ‐‐ EVERYTHING.
HOW CAN THAT CHILD BE IN SO MUCH PAIN
THAT SHE WANTS TO DIE?
YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR SON HAVE BEEN THERE WITH HER,
BUT ‐‐ BUT WHAT?
SHE'S HERE.
[ SIGHS ] SHE'S ON THIS FLOOR.
GREAT, GREAT. DO THEY KNOW I'M HERE?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
WELL, I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
NO, NO. YOU CAN'T.
SHE'S SUPPOSED TO GO HOME TODAY.
I DON'T CARE. I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.
THE DOCTOR SAYS JUST A COUPLE MORE DAYS.
CALL THE DOCTOR.
TELL HIM I WANT TO GO HOME.
NO, MA'AM, I WILL NOT.
NOW, I'M GONNA GO RUN THESE ERRANDS,
AND I'LL BE BACK.
I'M GOING HOME, HANNA.
CALL THE DOCTOR.
TELL HIM IT'S TIME TO LEAVE.
NO, MA'AM.
I'M GONNA GO NOW, ALL RIGHT?
YOU STAY HERE AND TRY TO GET SOME REST.
HANNA...
ALL RIGHT NOW.
I'LL BE BACK.
BYE‐BYE.
HANNA ‐‐ I'LL BE BACK.
[ SOBBING ]
[ KNOCK AT DOOR ]
WHO IS IT?
JEFFREY.
[ SIGHS ] WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
IS THAT THING WITH YOU?
NO.
OKAY.
COME IN.
THANK YOU.
MM‐HMM.
WHERE'S YOUR BOY?
OH, HE'S WITH ANOTHER COUNSELOR.
REALLY?
WHAT MADE HIM DO THAT?
YEAH, I MEAN, IT JUST WAS NECESSARY.
AND ‐‐ AND I NEEDED TO RUN A FEW ERRANDS.
I'M ONE OF THEM?
I JUST WANTED TO COME BY
AND JUST APOLOGIZE FOR WYATT'S BEHAVIOR.
AH.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT FOR HIM.
WELL, I‐I THINK I SHOULD.
I MEAN, HE'S A GREAT GUY, BUT HE'S GOT A LOT OF DEMONS.
AND YOU'RE HIS EXORCIST?
WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP HIM FIND HIMSELF.
FIND WHAT?
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF,
UM, THINGS THAT HE HASN'T EXPLORED IN LIFE YET
WHICH CAUSES HIM GREAT PAIN.
LIKE WHAT?
I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.
BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN HE'S A BAD PERSON.
HE'S JUST BEEN THROUGH A LOT.
JEFFREY, YOU KNOW HE'S NOT GAY, RIGHT?
I NEVER SAID HE WAS.
BUT YOU'RE HOPING HE IS.
WHY WOULD I BE HOPING THAT?
BECAUSE YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH HIM.
DON'T ‐‐ DON'T GET DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT.
CANDACE, YOU'RE REALLY OUT THERE SOMETIMES.
JEFFREY, I GREW UP AROUND GAY BOYS MY WHOLE LIFE.
I LOVE THE KIDS.
NOW CAN WE STOP THIS?
COME OUT THE CLOSET INTO THE LIGHT AND LIVE YOUR LIFE.
I'M NOT IN THE CLOSET.
THEN WHAT ARE YOU?
I'M STRAIGHT.
STRAIGHT TO A MAN.
YOU KNOW, CANDACE, MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T TURN ME ON.
OH, PLEASE.
I CAN TURN ON A DEAD MAN.
I KNOW MEN, JEFFREY.
I KNOW ALL TYPES.
I KNOW THE WOMANIZER.
I KNOW THE SHY TYPE THAT IN PRIVATE, HE'S A FREAK.
I KNOW THE C. E. O. WHO'S ALL POWERFUL IN THE OFFICE
BUT LOVES TO WEAR MY HEELS IN THE BEDROOM.
I ALSO KNOW THE JOCK
WHO LIKES FOR ME TO PLAY WITH MY TOYS WITH HIM.
AND I ALSO KNOW THE GAY MAN WHO PRETENDS TO BE STRAIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW JUDGES?
A FEW.
'CAUSE WYATT SEEMS TO THINK
THAT YOU AND HIS FATHER HAD AN AFFAIR.
WELL, WYATT ALSO THINKS THAT YOU'RE STRAIGHT,
SO SHOWS WHAT HE KNOWS. [ LAUGHS ]
I AM, CANDACE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE.
YOU DID NOT DRIVE ALL THIS WAY TO APOLOGIZE.
NOW, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
THAT'S IT.
I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE RICH AIRHEADS WHO YOU TALK TO.
I AM ONE OF THE REALEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET.
I CAN FLOAT IN BOTH CIRCLES.
I AM SO GOOD
THAT I KNOW WHEN I'M BEING FED A LOAD OF BULL.
NOW, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S $2,000.
FOR?
I WANTED TO PAY YOU TO ‐‐ TO BE WITH ME.
YOU WANT TO SLEEP WITH ME?
NO.
I WANTED YOU TO BE MY DATE FOR JUST A FEW EVENTS.
"EVENTS"?
YEAH. I NEED SOMEBODY BY MY SIDE.
MY DAD AND MR. CRYER ‐‐
THEY'RE RUNNING, AND I HAVE TO SHOW UP ‐‐
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. NO. STOP.
WHAT? WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
A HANDSOME, SEXY, STRAIGHT MAN LIKE YOURSELF
CAN'T FIND A GIRL TO STAND WITH HIM, HMM?
PLEASE.
WHOSE IDEA IS THIS?
IT'S MINE.
NO. IT'S NOT THE TRUTH.
YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU, CANDACE?
I THINK IT'S YOUR MOTHER'S IDEA.
AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT?
I MET YOUR MOTHER.
I'VE SEEN HOW SHE LOOKS AT YOU,
AND I'VE SEEN HOW YOU BECOME A 5‐YEAR‐OLD
EVERY TIME SHE'S AROUND.
THIS IS MY IDEA.
EITHER YOU WANT TO DO IT OR NOT.
THIS IS SAD.
HOW SO?
HOW ARE YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE?
YOU'VE GOT TO BE MISERABLE.
YOU'RE IN THE CLOSET,
YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH A STRAIGHT MAN,
AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO BUY AN IMAGE FOR YOUR MOTHER.
I GENUINELY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.
I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY, CANDACE, AND I'M NOT GAY.
I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE WITH WOMEN.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT? NEVER MIND.
I'LL DO IT.
REALLY?
MM‐HMM.
BUT ON ONE CONDITION.
AND WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEX WITH ME.
CANDACE ‐‐
JUST ONCE.
I'M NOT HAVING SEX WITH YOU.
WHY? YOU PAID ME.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?
I'M NOT SLEEPING WITH YOU.
I AIN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT.
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH ME.
WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID TO COME OUT?
I'M NOT GAY, CANDACE.
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP REPEATING YOURSELF?
JEFFREY, DO YOU THINK IF YOU SAY IT ENOUGH,
THE FEELINGS WILL GO AWAY?
THEY WON'T.
THAT'S WHO YOU ARE.
FORGET I ASKED YOU.
[ DOOR SLAMS ]
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH.
OH!
Celine: HI. HI.
LONG DAY?
YES, IT WAS A VERY LONG DAY.
I HEARD ABOUT AMANDA.
IS IT TRUE?
YEAH.
SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY, I HOPE?
I'M, UH ‐‐ I'M GONNA PICK HER UP AT THE HOSPITAL SOON.
SHE'LL BE OKAY.
HERE.
THANK YOU.
YOU LOOK TENSE.
YES, I AM.
I AM TENSE. I'M VERY TENSE.
I COULD RUN A BATH FOR YOU.
NO, THANK YOU.
I could join you.
[ CHUCKLES SOFTLY ]
NO. NO, THANK YOU.
PLEASE.
REALLY, JIM?
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO BE MINE AGAIN?
[ SIGHS, LAUGHS ]
CELINE, I WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH.
OH?
SO YOU LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING?
YOU KNOW, I'M HAVING A ROUGH DAY.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
BUT I MISS OUR TIME TOGETHER.
THAT TIME IS IN THE PAST. IT'S OVER.
COME ON.
LET ME HELP YOU REMEMBER THE PAST.
CELINE, STOP.
WHY? WE USED TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN WHEN KATHERYN WAS AWAY.
YES, WE DID.
I KNOW. I REMEMBER THAT.
BUT THAT WAS THEN, AND THIS IS NOW,
AND THIS IS NOT FUN.
REALLY?
REALLY. THIS HAS TO STOP.
[ LAUGHS ]
OH, JIM, WHO IS IT?
EXCUSE ME?
DID I SPEAK SPANISH TO YOU JUST NOW?
WHO IS IT? OH, NO ‐‐
YOU'RE NOT THE KIND OF MAN WHO'S GONNA GO WITHOUT,
SO I KNOW YOU HAVE SOMEONE.
WHO IS IT?
I'M NOT DISCUSSING THIS WITH YOU.
OH, YES, YOU ARE. NO, NO, I'M NOT.
I'M NOT.
I'M NOT GONNA HAVE THIS, JIM.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THIS? NO!
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
YOU'RE NOT MY WIFE.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THIS?
NO. OH, GOD, NO, I'M NOT YOUR WIFE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING WITH KATHERYN, SO WHO IS IT?
OH, CELINE, STOP IT.
STOP IT. IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEONE.
THIS IS OVER.
OVER?
NO, NO, NO.
THIS CONVERSATION IS NOT OVER.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS ‐‐ YOU, ME, US.
IT'S OVER, FINISHED, DONE.
DID I SPEAK SPANISH?
OH.
[ GROANS ] SO WAIT.
YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LAUGHABLE THAT IS?
I NEVER LOVED YOU.
WHAT?
[ LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY ] OKAY.
YOU SAID YOU DID.
I SAID I DID? WELL, OF COURSE I SAID I DID.
I WANTED TO SLEEP WITH YOU.
I SAID A LOT OF THINGS I DIDN'T MEAN.
I'M A GUY.
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, ARE YOU THAT NAIVE?
YOU BASTARD.
YES, I'M A BASTARD, AND YOU ARE THE BASTARD'S MAID.
DON'T FORGET IT.
OH, REALLY? YES, REALLY?
THAT'S ALL I AM TO YOU IS A MAID?
YES, THAT'S ALL YOU ARE TO ME ‐‐
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO QUIT.
NO.
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE IT THAT EASY.
I AM NOT QUITTING.
OKAY, THEN FINE.
DO YOUR JOB, STOP TRYING TO SEDUCE ME,
BECAUSE IT'S PATHETIC.
TE ODIO.
LOOK THAT UP, JIM CRYER.
[ KNOCKING AT DOOR ]
[ KNOCKING CONTINUES ]
COMING.
HANNA.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CALL YOU.
WELL, I'VE BEEN BUSY, LIKE I AM NOW.
WELL, I NEEDED TO TALK TO YOU.
WELL, I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BENNY WAS IN JAIL?
EXCUSE ME?
WHEN HAVE YOU EVER CARED WHAT HAPPENED TO BENNY?
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BE PART OF HIS LIFE.
WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
20‐SOMETHING YEARS AGO, WHEN HE REALLY NEEDED YOU.
WELL, HE NEEDS ME NOW.
NOT LIKE HE DID
WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TEACH HIM HOW TO TIE A TIE
OR THE FIRST TIME HE GOT BEAT UP ON THE PLAYGROUND,
NOR THE TIME I WAS TRYING TO TEACH HIM
THE VALUE OF BEING A MAN.
I DIDN'T COME HERE TO FIGHT WITH YOU.
I SEE YOU'RE UPSET. NO, NO, NO. UNH‐UNH.
YOU'RE NOT COMING IN HERE.
AND YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M UPSET.
YOU WANT TO COME IN HERE NOW, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
AFTER I DONE RAISED HIM?
I'M TRYING TO ‐‐
TRYING TO WHAT?
TRYING TO HELP.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
I DIDN'T NEED IT THEN, AND I SURE DON'T NEED IT NOW.
OKAY. THAT'S MIGHTY CHRISTIAN OF YOU.
OH, ARE YOU REALLY GONNA PLAY THAT CARD WITH ME, TONY?
NO. I'M JUST SAYING THAT WE'RE TAUGHT TO FORGIVE, RIGHT?
AND I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU,
BUT THAT DON'T MEAN I GOT TO TOLERATE YOU.
NOW WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE?
I KNOW WHY HE'S IN JAIL.
WHAT?
LET ME HELP HIM.
WHAT CAN YOU DO THAT I CAN'T?
SEE, I'VE ALREADY PROVEN I COULD.
I KNOW PEOPLE DOWNTOWN.
I KNOW DOWNTOWN, TOO. PLEASE.
HE WAS SET UP.
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO'S A DETECTIVE,
AND HE WAS TELLING ME THAT HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED.
COME ON IN.
TELL ME.
HE ‐‐ HE HASN'T TOLD ME EVERYTHING,
BUT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET LATER TO GET ALL THE DETAILS.
DON'T PLAY WITH ME, TONY.
YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN HELP HIM?
YES. I CAN, AND I WILL.
AS SOON AS I GET ALL THE INFORMATION,
I WILL CALL YOU, OKAY?
OKAY.
LISTEN, I DON'T GET GOOD CELL RECEPTION IN THE HOSPITAL,
SO YOU JUST TEXT ME,
AND THEN I'LL STEP OUT AND CALL YOU BACK.
IN THE HOSPITAL? ARE YOU OKAY?
OH, PLEASE.
JUST ANOTHER PART OF MY LIFE YOU MISSED.
I'M FINE.
I HAVE A FRIEND THERE.
CAN I TAKE YOU OVER THERE?
NO. I WILL CATCH THE BUS,
AS I HAVE BEEN DOING ALL THESE YEARS.
IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN.
WELL, I HAVE A RAINCOAT, THANK YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY, FINE.
YOU ARE STILL AS STUBBORN AS EVER.
YES, I AM.
I WANT TO SEE HIM.
WHAT? BENNY, IN JAIL.
I'M GONNA GO SEE HIM.
THE DETECTIVE IS GONNA GET ME IN.
SEE HIM FOR WHAT?
I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME HE KNOWS WHO HIS FATHER IS.
[ SCOFFS ]
YOU WANT TO SEE HIM NOW,
AT THIS MOMENT, WHEN HE'S LOCKED UP?
OH, THAT'S REAL SMART, TONY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN BAD WITH TIMING,
BUT THIS IS A BIT MUCH.
THIS IS THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN.
HE NEEDS ME.
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME HE DOES.
DON'T GO NEAR MY CHILD WITH THIS FOOLISHNESS, TONY.
FOOLISHNESS? I'M HIS FATHER!
TONY ‐‐ I NEED TO BE THERE!
SEE, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH ME,
AND THAT WAS FINE.
I FORGAVE YOU FOR THAT THEN.
BUT YOU WILL NOT DESTROY
THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME, NOT NOW.
DON'T DO THIS, TONY.
YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY CHILD.
NOW, YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU CAN TO HELP HIM,
BUT YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY CHILD.
HI.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M FINE.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YES, I AM.
OKAY.
YOU LOOK NICE.
THANK YOU.
WHO BROUGHT YOU THE FLOWERS?
WYATT AND JEFFREY.
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. YEAH.
LOOK, AMANDA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO YOU.
I'VE NEVER BEEN AROUND ANYONE
WHO TRIED TO TAKE THEIR LIFE BEFORE.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE TAKE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES,
BUT NEVER THIS.
I KNOW YOU HAVE.
YEAH. WHERE I'M FROM, THAT'S COMMON.
BUT LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
[ SIGHS ]
YOU CAN'T GIVE UP
EVERY TIME YOU GET HURT OR YOU FEEL BAD OR ‐‐
OR RAPED.
I KNOW WHAT HE DID TO YOU, AND I'M SO SORRY.
YOU TOLD ME TO GO FLIRT WITH HIM.
I DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD DO THAT TO YOU.
HE HURT ME.
I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN HURT BEFORE, TOO.
WERE YOU RAPED?
YES.
WERE YOU A VIRGIN?
YES.
I WAS A VIRGIN, CANDACE.
YOU WERE?
YEAH.
AMANDA... WHAT?
...IF YOU WERE A VIRGIN,
WHY DID YOU HAVE A PREGNANCY TEST?
WHAT?
THE PREGNANCY TEST IN THE BATHROOM.
I SAW IT ON THE FLOOR.
THAT WAS YOURS, RIGHT?
YEAH.
WHY DID YOU HAVE IT?
'CAUSE I WANTED TO SEE IF HE MADE ME PREGNANT.
AND HE DID.
[ SCOFFS ]
HOW ‐‐ HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
I KNOW.
I FEEL IT GROWING INSIDE OF ME.
I'M PREGNANT.
WHAT?
I'M PREGNANT.
AMANDA, YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT.
YES, I AM.
IF THE PROFESSOR WAS THE ONLY MAN YOU'VE SLEPT WITH,
AND THAT WAS ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO,
WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?
IT SAID IT WAS POSITIVE.
I KNOW. I SAW THAT.
BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
I SAW THE TEST, CANDACE.
AMANDA, THAT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.
SO YOU'RE SAYING I'M TOO DUMB TO READ A PREGNANCY TEST?
I SAW IT. IT WAS POSITIVE, CANDACE.
AMANDA, RELAX, PLEASE.
I SAW IT. IT WAS POSITIVE.
BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY A FALSE POSITIVE, OKAY?
YOU CAN'T GET PREGNANT THAT QUICKLY.
YEAH, WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
I KNOW I AM.
NOW... HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS.
HE IS THE LOWEST OF THE LOW.
YOU HAVE TO TELL YOUR FATHER WHAT HAPPENED.
NO. I CAN'T DO THAT.
YES, YOU HAVE TO.
NO ONE CAN KNOW ABOUT THIS.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO TELL ANYONE.
OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.
I CAN'T DO IT.
AMANDA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
AND DON'T TELL HIM.
DON'T YOU SAY A WORD.
DON'T.
I WON'T, I WON'T.
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T DO THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO APOLOGIZE ABOUT.
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.
THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND, CANDACE.
SURE, AMANDA.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HI. HI.
JEFFREY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
UM...LISTEN, UH, WE NEED TO TALK.
YEAH, SURE. COME ON IN.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S UP? WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH WYATT
FOR A LONG TIME, RIGHT?
YES. AND YOU'RE DOING SUCH AN AMAZING JOB.
HE SEEMS SO MUCH BETTER.
HE IS. AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU.
OKAY.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HE DOESN'T RELAPSE.
OF COURSE.
AND I THINK THAT HE WILL WITH YOU AROUND.
UH, WHAT? [ CHUCKLES ]
YES.
BUT I‐I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM RELAPSE.
NO, NO, NO, NO. IT'S NOT EVEN THAT.
IT'S JUST THAT HE CAN GET LOST IN PEOPLE
AND SITUATIONS AND THEN,
WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY THAT HE WANTS THEM TO GO,
HE CAN RELAPSE.
NOW, I JUST DON'T THINK
THAT HE'S STRONG ENOUGH TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP YET.
UH...I SEE.
NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
I THINK THE TWO OF YOU SHOULD DATE.
BUT JUST NOT NOW.
IT'S TOO SOON.
OKAY.
UM, YEAH. I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH? I KNOW THIS IS HARD.
IT IS BECAUSE I‐I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
WELL, IF YOU REALLY LOVE HIM, THEN LET HIM GO.
AND ‐‐ AND DO YOU THINK THAT THAT'S BEST?
YES.
BUT YOU CAN'T BREATHE A WORD OF THIS TO HIM.
[ SNIFFLES ]
UH...YEAH, I‐I WON'T.
WE WERE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO MEET TONIGHT
AT HIS PARENT'S HOUSE FOR DINNER, SO ‐‐
YEAH?
WHICH ‐‐ YEAH, WHAT SHOULD I TELL HIM?
I'LL LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT.
YOU WILL?
YEAH. IT'S NO PROBLEM.
OKAY. UM...
YEAH?
I'M SORRY.
BUT THIS ISN'T FOREVER.
JUST GIVE ME A YEAR.
A YEAR? YES.
AND IF HE STILL WANTS TO BE WITH YOU AT THE END OF THAT,
THEN I'M SURE HE'LL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT.
A YEAR?
AT LEAST.
WOW. THAT'S ‐‐ THAT'S A REALLY LONG TIME.
WELL, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME.
YEAH. I'LL BET.
WELL, THANK YOU.
AND, UM, PLEASE, IGNORE HIS PHONE CALLS.
I KNOW THIS WOULD BE HARD, BUT, UH, IT'S FOR HIS OWN GOOD.
SURE.
YEAH?
[ SNIFFLES ] YEAH, SURE.
GOOD.
WELL, THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN YOU DO.
IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T KNOWN ME LONG ENOUGH.
HERE.
I AM NOT LEAVING IN THAT WHEELCHAIR.
MRS. CRYER, YOU HAVE TO.
NO, I DON'T.
MOVE IT!
[ SIGHS ]
I KNOW YOU'RE IN PAIN.
[ Shakily ] EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.
MRS. CRYER...
IS THE COAST CLEAR?

Narrator: NEXT ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
CANDACE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, NOTHING AT ALL TO UPSET YOU?
Jim: BUT WHAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW IS THAT YOU'RE SO CALCULATING,
THAT NO MOVE IS EVER MADE UNLESS IT'S IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS,
INCLUDING YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH HER.
I HAVE A FRIEND. HE TOLD ME YOU WERE INNOCENT.
WHAT'S HIS NAME? I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T TELL ME?!
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU CAME HERE TO HELP ME!
YOU JUST CAN'T TRUST THEM.
THEY ALL HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES. BUT NOT ME.
ARE YOU SURE YOUR HUSBAND'S NOT GONNA COME IN HERE
AND NOTICE THAT YOU'RE IN HERE SICK?
STOP WASTING MY TIME. I HAVE A HAIR APPOINTMENT.
YOU BETTER START TALKING TO HER.
