PREVIOUSLY ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
JUDGE CRYER.
WHERE IS WYATT? HE'S BEEN ARRESTED.
I'M GOING TO GET YOU OUT. POP!
DON'T SAY A WORD TO ANYBODY, WYATT, NOT A WORD!
IS HE BREATHING?
YES.
YOUR WIFE HAS THE CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WYATT TOLD ME HE THOUGHT THAT YOUR WIFE TURNED IT IN.
YOU HAVE HAD HIS CAR ALL THIS TIME!
WHERE IS IT?
I AM NOT TELLING YOU.
TALK TO ME.
SHE'S NOT PREGNANT.
SHE'S NOT?
I WANT TO START BY SAYING
THAT I HAVE BEEN PART OF A COVERUP.
MRS. CRYER?
NOT NOW, CELINE.
TRUST ME, YOU WANT TO SEE THIS.
I SAID NOT NOW.
BUT, MA'AM...
WHAT IS IT WITH YOU FOUR?
I THINK YOU WANT TO SEE THIS.
I'VE BEEN PART OF A COVERUP AND I AM NOT PROUD OF IT.
BUT I AM WILLING TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
WHAT MOST OF THE PUBLIC DOESN'T KNOW IS THAT
MY SON HAS A DRUG PROBLEM,
AND HE'S HAD ONE SINCE HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD.
KATHERYN AND I HAVE PUT HIM IN SEVERAL FACILITIES
OVER THE YEARS TRYING TO GET HELP FOR HIM,
BUT MOST OF THOSE HAVE FAILED,
LARGELY BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T DO THE WORK.
I'M NOT PROUD OF THAT,
AND I LOVE MY SON WITH ALL MY HEART,
WITH ALL MY SOUL, BUT WHAT HE'S DONE IS WRONG.
BUT LET ME MAKE THIS VERY, VERY CLEAR.
MY SON DID HIT SOMEONE,
BUT HE DID NOT ‐‐ I REPEAT ‐‐ HE DID NOT HIT LIZZIE,
HE DID NOT HIT BENNY YOUNG.
HE DIDN'T DO IT.
HE DIDN'T HIT BENNY YOUNG. HE DID NOT HIT LITTLE LIZZIE.
THE CAR HE WAS DRIVING IS RIGHT THERE BEHIND YOU.
IT'S A BLACK SEDAN, YES.
AND ALSO, THE MAN THAT HE HIT IS HERE.
THIS IS DONALD LEE QUESTAL.
IT'S TRUE, I DID PAY FOR HIS MEDICAL BILLS,
AND I SETTLED OUT OF COURT WITH MR. QUESTAL.
IT'S TRUE, I ASKED HIM
NOT TO PRESS CHARGES.
THESE ARE THINGS I'M NOT PROUD OF, BUT THESE ARE THINGS I DID
TO PROTECT MY SON.
AND I WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY, VERY CLEAR.
MY WIFE KATHERYN CRYER
WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY OF THIS AT ANY TIME, AT ALL.
NOW, AS A PARENT OF A CHILD THAT HAS AN ADDICTION ‐‐
AND I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY OF YOU OUT THERE ‐‐
MANY OF YOU WHO KNOW THE ANGUISH OF THAT SITUATION.
YOU KNOW THE CONSTANT PAIN, YOU KNOW THE LOSS OF HOPE.
YOU DO.
I AM SO SORRY THAT I TRIED TO COVER THIS UP.
BUT AGAIN, I AM WILLING TO FACE WHATEVER I HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
WHATEVER IT IS.
I LOVE MY CHILDREN VERY MUCH, THAT'S TRUE.
BUT IF THIS MAN HAD DIED, OR IF MY SON
HAD HIT A LITTLE GIRL...
I PROMISE YOU, I WOULD BE THE FIRST,
THE VERY FIRST TO TURN HIM IN.
♪♪♪♪
YES, IT'S TRUE, I'M A FATHER, BUT I'M ALSO A JUDGE.
I'M A JUDGE WHO HAS A MORAL RIGHT
AND A RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AFTER THE WELLBEING
OF THE CITIZENS OF THIS GREAT CITY AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY
THAT WE HAVE THE GREAT FORTUNE TO LIVE IN.
I'M SORRY, AND I'M WILLING TO DEAL DIRECTLY
WITH THE D. A.'S OFFICE, BUT AT THIS TIME, I AM REQUESTING
THAT THE D. A. RELEASE MY SON AND DROP THE CHARGES
OF HITTING LIZZIE AND MR. YOUNG.
BECAUSE QUITE SIMPLY, HE DID NOT DO IT.
NOW, IF THEY WANT TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST HIM
FOR THE INCIDENT AT HAND,
AND THAT IS HITTING MR. QUESTAL,
I WILL ACCEPT THAT.
I WILL.
BUT THIS WITCH HUNT BY D. A. JENNIFER SALISON,
IT'S A PERSONAL VENDETTA AGAINST ME,
AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MY SON SHOULD BE USED AS A PAWN
IN ONE OF HER GAMES.
PERSONALLY, I THINK THE RESOURCES OF THE TAXPAYERS
WOULD BE FAR BETTER SPENT SEARCHING FOR THE ANIMAL
WHO ACTUALLY DID THIS THING ‐‐
WHO SO CARELESSLY HIT THIS POOR LITTLE GIRL.
AND BRING THAT ANIMAL TO JUSTICE, AND LEAVE MY SON ALONE.
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
HELLO?
WHO IS THIS?
HELLO?
"TURN ON THE TV"? WHO IS THIS?
THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS THIS ‐‐
TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE RUSHED TO JUDGEMENT ON THIS,
I GET IT, I UNDERSTAND,
I AM WITH YOU ON THIS.
I WOULD WANT THE HEAD OF THIS PERSON, TOO.
BUT MY SON,
WYATT CRYER, DID NOT DO THIS.
THERE IS THE CAR. HERE IS THE VICTIM.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?
Woman: MY QUESTION IS FOR MR. QUESTAL.
WHY DIDN'T YOU REPORT THIS TO THE POLICE?
I WASN'T HURT THAT BAD,
AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS SINCERELY SORRY.
Woman: JUDGE CRYER, ARE YOU GOING TO BRING CHARGES
AGAINST THIS D. A. FOR WRONGFUL PROSECUTION?
LET'S FACE IT, MY SON IS GUILTY,
BUT HE'S NOT GUILTY OF THIS CRIME.
I'M HOPING THAT THE GREAT CITY THAT WE LIVE IN
WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND LET MY SON GO.
Woman: DO YOU THINK THIS WILL HURT YOUR CHANCES FOR GOVERNOR?
I CAN'T THINK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW.
WHAT I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IS MY FAMILY.
NOW, AS MUCH AS I LOVE THIS STATE
AND AS MUCH AS I THINK I'D BE A GREAT ASSET TO IT,
I NEED TO FOCUS ON MY SON AND ALL THE HARD WORK
THAT HE AND I HAVE AHEAD OF US.
Woman: MR. QUESTAL, WILL YOU PRESS CHARGES?
UH, NO, I WON'T.
WOW.
YOU ARE DEALING WITH A MASTER.
I SEE THAT.
Woman: JUDGE, WHY DOES YOUR SON LOOK SO MUCH
LIKE THE SKETCH OF THE DRIVER THAT HIT LITTLE LIZ?
THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION,
BUT I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE THAT THE COMPOSITE IS CORRECT.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
THE PERSON THAT GAVE IT WAS ALSO UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
Man: DO YOU THINK THAT
YOU HAVE BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY
BECAUSE YOU'RE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR?
UM, I HOPE THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
Woman: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE D. A. ARRESTING YOUR SON?
I'M JUST RELIEVED THAT THE TRUTH IS OUT
AND THAT NOW MY SON AND I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO TAKE THIS AS IT COMES.
GET A POLL GOING, I WANT TO SEE WHAT PUBLIC SENTIMENT IS.
I'M ON IT.
WAIT. FIRST TAKE HIM DOWN BEFORE HE GETS TOO OFF TRACK.
HE'S BEEN BRILLIANT SO FAR.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS MY SON WYATT CRYER'S CAR.
YOU CAN CHECK THE VIN NUMBER.
YOU CAN CHECK
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
I PROMISE YOU IT WILL ALL CHECK OUT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, NO MORE QUESTIONS, PLEASE.
I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A TRYING ORDEAL.
WE WILL BE FIELDING QUESTIONS AS WE GO ON, BUT NOT TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
I KNEW JIM WOULD HANDLE IT.
THAT HE DID.
IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN BEHAVED THAT WAY,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.
ESPECIALLY MY SON.
GET OUT OF HERE.
YES, MA'AM.
JIM CRYER.
YOU'RE A CLEVER BASTARD.

WHAT'S UP, MAMA?

YEAH.
HOW'D YOU GET IN HERE?
YOU ONLY HAVE BARS ON THE FRONT DOOR.
YOU KNOW THAT'S REAL STUPID, RIGHT?
GET OUT.
WHERE'S CANDY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HER.
GET OUT OF HERE!
WHAT, SHE DON'T LIVE HERE?
YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL I DON'T DEAL WITH MY DAUGHTER.
NOW, YOU GET OUT OF HERE.
NOW, YOU GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, QUINCY,
OR I'M GOING TO CALL THE POLICE.
GO AHEAD.
OKAY.
FINE.
HELLO?
YES, THERE'S SOMEONE IN MY HOUSE,
AND HE WON'T LEAVE.
HE BROKE IN.
YES. HIS NAME IS QUINCY MAXWELL.
OKAY.
YES, MA'AM. I'LL STAY ON THE PHONE.
THEY'RE COMING, QUINCY.
OKAY.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
WHERE'S CANDY? I DON'T KNOW!
IF YOU WANT TO FIND HER,
YOU GO ON OUT THERE SOMEWHERE AND LOOK FOR HER.
SHE GAVE ME UP.
I DON'T CARE!
DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ME?
I DON'T DEAL WITH HER AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO DEAL WITH YOU.
NOW, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, BOY.
SHE GAVE ME UP.
NO, MA'AM, HE'S NOT LEAVING.
THEY'RE COMING?
THANK YOU.
HAD ME ON LOCKDOWN FOR THREE YEARS.
YOU TELL HER I'M OUT NOW.
AND I WILL FIND HER.
YOU'VE BEEN IN JAIL?
HELL YEAH.
WHERE'S MY GRANDBABY, QUINCY?
WHAT?
WHERE IS MY GRANDBABY?
SHE SAID YOU HAD HIM. NOW, WHERE IS HE?
SHE SAID I HAD HIM?

Jim: WOW, ARE YOU STILL HERE?
YEAH, WELL, MAGGIE AND I HAD A LITTLE TALK.
REALLY? YEAH.
SO, SHE'S STILL WORKING ON THE CAMPAIGN? HUH.
WE ARE JUST PULLING THE DATA NOW,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU TURNED THIS TOWN QUICKLY IN YOUR FAVOR.
IMAGINE THAT.
PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT YOUR SON WERE A NICE TOUCH.
YOU CAME ACROSS VERY HUMAN.
WE COULDN'T HAVE COACHED YOU BETTER.
NO, ACTUALLY, I COULD'VE.
IT'S EASY TO TALK ABOUT MY CHILDREN WITH AFFECTION.
I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH. YES, THAT WAS OBVIOUS.
BUT THAT PART ABOUT YOUR WIFE ‐‐ NOT SO MUCH TRUTH IN THAT.
GOT ME THERE. THANKS, MAGGIE.
JUST DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN, JIM.
David: JIM WAS LOOKING OUT FOR HIS SON.
SURE YOU CAN APPRECIATE THAT.
YES, I CAN.
I THINK IT'S GREAT WHEN A MAN
CAN GO ALL OUT TO PROTECT HIS SON.
ARE YOU THAT KIND OF FATHER, MR. HARRINGTON?
EXCUSE ME?
JEFFERY ‐‐
WOULD YOU GO ALL OUT TO PROTECT HIM?
YES, I WOULD.
AND YOUR WIFE?
YES.
SHE WOULD.

YES, IT IS.

CAN YOU GET ON THE RESEARCH?
RIGHT AWAY. THANKS.

OH.
JUDGE JIM CRYER.
BEFORE YOU SAY A WORD, I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
I'M NOT HAVING ANY KIND OF DISCUSSION
UNLESS YOU AGREE TO RELEASE MY SON.
I'M ON MY WAY.
WHAT WAS THAT?
D.A. WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS A DEAL.
EXCELLENT.
YES, IT IS.
THAT ALL WORKED OUT.
YES, IT DID.
IS IT TRUE?
WHAT?
DID WYATT REALLY HIT THAT STRANGER?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
COME ON, DAVID. IS IT TRUE?
I MEAN, IT'S ALL A LITTLE COINCIDENTAL, DON'T YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING TOO MANY CRIME SHOWS.
I DON'T WATCH CRIME SHOWS.
SOMETHING HAS YOU THINKING THIS WAY.
I JUST PAY ATTENTION.
YOU KNOW, LIKE I'M...
PAYING ATTENTION TO THE LINT THAT'S ON YOUR SUIT.
REALLY?
LOW THREAD COUNT. HOTEL SHEETS.

WITH SHEETS LIKE THAT ON HER BED.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?
EVERYTHING'S FINE. THANK YOU.

WELL, WE ARE CALLING IT IN RIGHT NOW.
SO, IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AN APB WILL BE PUT OUT.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT MESS FOR A SECOND.
THEY HAVE THE CAR, HANNA.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
I TALKED TO SOME BUDDIES OF MINE.
THEY THINK IT'S THE CAR.
I'M TELLING YOU, IF THERE'S DNA ON THAT CAR,
THEY WILL FIND IT.
NOT IF HE CLEANED IT.
I DON'T THINK JIM'S THAT KIND OF GUY.
YOU KNOW HIM?

NEVER MET HIM.
WELL THEN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF GUY HE IS.
NO.
GUESS I DON'T.
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO DID THIS.

YOU REALLY FEEL THAT WAY?
YES.
OKAY.

ARE YOU?
YES, I AM.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS.

AND THAT'S GOOD BECAUSE IT MAKES US EVEN.
BUT, JIM ‐‐
THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, SHE HAD A BREAKDOWN FOR A REASON.
IT STANDS TO REASON THAT SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG.

AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?
THERE IS ONE PERSON ON THIS PLANET
THAT KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
NINE?
YES. NINE.
I WILL TALK TO HER AND I WILL FIND OUT
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH OUR DAUGHTER SO I CAN HELP HER.
SO, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GO SEE NINE?
NINE IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM, KATHERYN.
AND HOW IS THAT?
I HANDLED IT.
REALLY?
HOW DID YOU HANDLE IT?
I HANDLED IT.
YOU HAD BETTER.
YOU WANT SOME WATER?

HOW DID YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS MESS?
I DON'T KNOW.

ABOUT WHAT?
WHAT HE ASKED YOU TO DO.
[ SCOFFS ]
NEVER MIND.

THE LONGER YOU HOLD OUT, THE COLDER HE GETS.
YOU KNOW?
HE'S DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW?

WITH SOMEONE THAT'S RICH, LUCKY...

HE'S THE DEVIL.
AND HE LOVES HIS CHILDREN.
I'M NOT SCARED OF HIM.

THAT IS SO STUPID.
YOU SHOULD BE.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET HIM WALK ALL OVER ME.
SO FUNNY.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE WALKED ON?
THAT'S WHY THERE'S THIS BOX.
I'M PRETTY SURE HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU.
I MEAN, HE CALLED US TODAY
AND ASKED US TO "PREPARE THE BOX."
WHAT'S THE BOX?
SEE OVER THERE?
IT'S PLASTIC, LIME, CEMENT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT'S FOR, HONEY?
AND I'M BUTCHER.
YOU PREPARED TO DIE?
OH, NEVER MIND.

YOU PEOPLE NEVER ARE.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THINGS TO PEOPLE AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE OFF BY NOW.
I AM, BUT I KNOW HIS MOM AND SHE ASKED ME TO SIT WITH HIM.
OH, OKAY.
YEAH. SO, HOW'S HE DOING?
WELL, BREATHING ON HIS OWN.
YEAH.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
ALL RIGHT.
HEY.
HOW'S HE DOING?
DOING GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM.
I DID.
HEY. HAS HE MOVED ANY?
NO, BUT HE WAS BLINKING HIS EYES EARLIER.
WAS HE? YES.
OH, YES. [ LAUGHS ]
HANNA?
OH, MY GOD. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I FOLLOWED YOU.
GET OUT OF HERE, TONY.
LOOK AT HIM JUST LAYING THERE, STILL THE SAME.
YOU ARE WRONG FOR THIS.
HE IS DOING BETTER.
HE'S THE SAME, HANNA.
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, TONY.
I ALREADY TALKED TO MY LAWYER.
HE'S ON HIS WAY RIGHT NOW TO THE JUDGE
TO HAVE THIS RULING DONE.
HE'S COMING HERE TODAY.
OVER MY DEAD BODY, HE WILL.
YOU'RE JUST MAKING THINGS WORSE.
TONY, HE IS BETTER.
WELL, IT'S TOO LATE.
GET OUT OF HERE.
HANNA ‐‐
IS THERE A PROBLEM?
YES. I'LL CALL SECURITY.
PLEASE.
YEAH, YOU DO THAT, BECAUSE I'VE GOT A COURT ORDER
TO HAVE HIM TAKEN OFF LIFE SUPPORT.
YOU ARE NOT TOUCHING MY SON.
HE'S BRAIN‐DEAD.
HE IS NOT! CAN'T YOU SEE?!
HE'S DOING BETTER. HE'S BREATHING ON HIS OWN.
I'M NOT PLAYING.
I AIN'T PLAYING WITH YOU, EITHER!
JUST GO ON TALKING ABOUT MY MAMA...
OH, BABY!
BABY?
I HEARD HIM SAY SOMETHING.
WHAT'D YOU SAY?
NURSE! NURSE!
NURSE! SAY SOMETHING ELSE, BABY.
SAY SOMETHING ELSE. I HEARD YOU.
NEXT ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
WHAT'S YOUR LIFE LIKE?
EXCUSE ME?
I MEAN, BEING GAY.
WHAT DID I ASK YOU FOR?
JIM, NO! JIM!
HOW'S YOUR BED HAIR?
UH...FINE.
YOU EVER HAD AN AFFAIR?
SHE NEVER MENTIONED A SON.
I'M HER BABY'S FATHER.
SHE'S BEEN HOLDING OUT ON ME.
BENNY? NURSE!
