PREVIOUSLY, ON "THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS"...
TAKE THE HANDCUFFS OFF MY SON.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
CANDACE, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GRANDBABY?
I GAVE QUINCY THE MONEY.
AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE KILLED HIM.
I WASN'T EVEN REALLY AWARE YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND.
[ CHUCKLES ] HIS NAME IS QUINCY.
DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK FOR DINNER?
ALL RIGHT. I WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN.
YOU WANT US TO TAKE CARE OF HIM?
I WANT HIM BROUGHT HERE SO I CAN HANDLE HIM MYSELF.
HOLD ON A SECOND. LET ME EXPLAIN.
YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME?
WHY THE HELL SHOULD I RECOGNIZE YOU?
I'M YOUR SON.
CELINE!
CELINE, GET IN HERE NOW. YES?
YOU DID THIS?
I DID WHAT, SIR?
YOU HAD THAT KID WORKING IN MY CAMPAIGN OFFICE.
YOU DID THAT.
THAT KID?
YOU MEAN OUR SON?
I DIDN'T DO THAT.
THEN WHY THE HELL IS HE IN MY OFFICE,
AND WHY THE HELL IS HE IN MY HOUSE?
YOU SHOULD KNOW.
HOW SHOULD I KNOW, CELINE?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER TALKED TO HIM.
EVER.
HE SEES YOU, JIM.
HE SEES HOW WELL YOU'RE DOING.
YOU HEARD HIM. THAT'S NOT EASY FOR HIM.
HOW DID HE KNOW I WAS HIS FATHER?
WHAT, ARE YOU STUCK FOR AN ANSWER?
HOW DID HE KNOW I WAS HIS FATHER?
LOOK AT HIM, JIM.
DO YOU THINK HE'S STUPID?
DO YOU THINK HE DOESN'T REALIZE
THAT HE DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HIS SIBLINGS?
THAT STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN HOW HE KNEW I WAS HIS FATHER,
DOES IT, CELINE?
HE REMEMBERS YOU.
HE REMEMBERS YOU HOLDING HIM AS A LITTLE BOY.
HE PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, JIM.
WHAT DOES HE WANT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
HE WANTS A FATHER.
OH, COME ON.
WHAT DOES HE WANT, CELINE?
HOW MUCH DOES HE WANT?
HE WANTS YOUR TIME, JIM.
REALLY?
I'M NOT GIVING HIM A DIME.
NOT ONE THIN DIME.
YOU THINK MY SON
IS THE KIND OF PERSON THAT WOULD EXTORT MONEY FROM YOU?!
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY, CELINE.
[ Chuckling ] GOD.
YOU ARE A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, YOU KNOW THAT?
THIS IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, JIM.
THIS IS ABOUT YOU BEING A FATHER TO MY SON, TO OUR SON!
YOU DON'T THINK IT'S THAT, DO YOU?
YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL.
GOD, HOW CAN A HUMAN BEING BE SO CLUELESS?!
MY SON ‐‐
THAT BOY THAT WE CREATED ‐‐
HE'S FAIR.
HE JUST WANTS WHAT'S FAIR, JUST LIKE ME.
I'M SORRY. WHAT DID YOU SAY?
FAIR?
JUST LIKE YOU?
YES.
REALLY? YES.
JUST LIKE ME.
I'VE NEVER DEMANDED ANYTHING OF YOU.
EVER.
AND GOD KNOWS I HAVE SO MUCH ON YOU.
I'VE NEVER PUT YOU IN A POSITION TO HURT YOU,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU'VE HURT ME,
AND ‐‐ AND YOU'VE HURT ME, JIM.
ALL I DO IS DO MY JOB.
I WORK HERE.
I CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR WIFE, YOUR KIDS.
FOR YEARS, I'VE BEEN DOING IT.
AND WHAT HAVE I ASKED OF YOU? WHAT HAVE I EVER ASKED OF YOU?!
NOT ONE THING.

[ SCOFFS ]
I SEE YOUR TRIPS TO PARIS, TO ASPEN, THE MONEY.
GOD KNOWS YOU SPEND MONEY.
WHAT DO I ASK OF YOU?
NOTHING.
ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO TREAT ME AND MY SON FAIRLY.
AND YOU DARE INSULT ME AND MAKE THIS ABOUT MONEY?!
YOU'RE STANDING IN MY OFFICE,
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TRIPS TO ASPEN, TRIPS TO PARIS,
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MY HOUSE, ABOUT MY STUFF.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I HAVE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE,
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE
TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MONEY?
OF COURSE YOU ARE, CELINE.
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY.
GO TO HELL!
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, YOU STUPID MAN.
IT'S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE MONEY.
GOD, I HATE SEEING YOU EVERY DAY.
THEN LEAVE!
THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY.
AND LET ME REMIND YOU ABOUT SOMETHING, MR. JIM CRYER.
I KNOW EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING.
DON'T PUSH ME.
GOD, DON'T PUSH ME.
[ SIGHS ]
YOU'RE STILL HERE?
FINE. I'LL LEAVE AS SOON AS I CAN GET AWAY FROM BENNY.
WHERE IS HE?
IN THE BATHROOM.
CANDACE, THAT BOY DIDN'T KILL THAT BABY.
BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.
I WILL.
I FEEL IT IN MY SPIRIT.
HE MAY BE A THUG AND A HUSTLER AND A LIAR.
Y'ALL HAVE THAT IN COMMON.
YOU MANIPULATE PEOPLE
AND USE THEM TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
I BELIEVE THAT BOY HUSTLED YOU OUT OF THAT $50,000,
AND HE USED YOUR SON...
TO DO IT AS HIS TRUMP CARD.
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE HE KILLED THAT BABY.
YOU SEE HOW THIS JUST GOES AROUND AND AROUND IN A CIRCLE?
YOU DO IT TO SOMEBODY, THEY DO IT TO YOU.
DO YOU SEE THAT, DAUGHTER?
THEN WHERE IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I'M GONNA FIND HIM.
DON'T YOU HAVE A BIBLE TO READ?
WE CAN START IN GENESIS, EXODUS,
LEVITICUS, NUMBERS,
NEHEMIAH, JOB, PSALMS, REVELATIONS.
YOU NEED THEM ALL, BABY.
SO, DO YOU LIKE IT?
I THINK YOU'LL LOOK REALLY HANDSOME.
THANK YOU.
AND, UH, YOUR WIFE WILL BE THERE TOMORROW?
YES. GOOD.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR, DOOR OPENS ]
MAGGIE, WHAT IS THE WHOLE POLICY
ON THE HIRING AND FIRING OF INTERNS AROUND HERE?
EXCUSE ME?
CARLOS, THE INTERN ‐‐ FIRE HIM.
WHY? WHAT DID HE DO?
FIRE HIM.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YES, EVERYTHING IS ‐‐ EVERYTHING IS FINE.
IT'S FINE.
MM.
OKAY, WELL, I WAS JUST TALKING TO DAVID
ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW.
WE HAVE COVERAGE FROM EVERY NATIONAL NEWSPAPER,
AND THERE'S EVEN TALK OF
A SPECIAL BROADCAST LIVE FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
GOOD.
YEAH. REALLY, JIM, COME ON. DON'T SOUND SO EXCITED.
COME ON. HE IS.
IT'S JUST...BEEN A VERY TRYING TIME WITH WYATT.
NO, I‐I KNOW.
I MEAN, GOD, I'M GLAD THEY CAUGHT THE REAL GUY, BUT...
MM. [CHUCKLES]
...YOU'VE GOT TO ADMIT, THIS HAS BEEN TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL
FOR THE CAMPAIGN ‐‐ LOTS OF MEDIA EXPOSURE.
YEAH. THAT'S GREAT.
LISTEN, TOMORROW'S A HUGE DAY,
SO LET'S GO OVER YOUR SPEECH AND RUNDOWN AGAIN.
OKAY.
NOW, I THINK ‐‐ VERONICA.
HELLO, JIM.
HELLO, VERONICA.
YOU LOOK LOVELY TODAY.
DAVID, I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
SURE.
HERE. DON'T FORGET YOUR TIE.
YOU'LL LOOK GREAT.
MAYBE YOU CAN WEAR SOMETHING TO COORDINATE WITH HIM.
YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY DO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO MY HUSBAND.
[ SCOFFS ]
LOOK, I'M JUST DOING MY JOB.
DO IT OVER HERE.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST POSSESSIVE WIFE I'VE ENCOUNTERED.
EXCUSE ME.
BUT I WILL BE THE LAST.
DO IT OVER THERE. HE'S BETTER GAME.
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
CAN MY WIFE AND I HAVE A MOMENT ALONE, PLEASE?
SURE, SURE, SURE.
DID IT JUST GET REALLY COLD IN HERE?
COME ON. [ CHUCKLES ]
[ SIGHS ]
REALLY, DAVID?
YOU BRING OUR SON TO THAT HOTEL,
YOU LET HIM HANG OUT WITH THAT FLAMING...HOMOSEXUAL,
AND YOU CHEAT ON ME WITH HER?
NO, NO. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S SLEEPING WITH WHO.
NOW HOLD ON BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET.
I WON'T REGRET ANYTHING I SAY.
NOW, VERONICA, YOU KNOW ME.
I THOUGHT I DID.
I DID NOT SLEEP WITH HER.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
YOU SAYING I'M A LIAR?
OH, WE ESTABLISHED THAT ALREADY, HONEY,
WHEN YOU LIED ABOUT JIM AND BENJAMIN YOUNG.
[ SIGHS ]
WHY DID YOU COME HERE?
KATHERYN IS HAVING A DINNER PARTY TONIGHT
TO CELEBRATE THIS HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT.
I EXPECT YOU TO BE THERE.
YES, I WILL BE THERE.
COULD HAVE CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT ON THE PHONE.
NO.
YOU NEVER ANNOUNCE YOUR PRESENCE
WHEN THERE'S A SEDUCING WHORE ON THE LOOSE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU SURPRISE HER AT EVERY TURN.
ARE YOU GONNA GIVE ME JEFFERY'S CAR?
NO.
I CAME HERE TO SPEAK MY PEACE.
NOW, I WILL STAND WITH YOU AT YOUR BIG ANNOUNCEMENT,
BUT YOU ARE NOT TO COME HOME.
IS THAT CLEAR, DAVID?
[ CHUCKLES ]
OKAY.
WELL, I WILL SEE YOU TONIGHT.
YES.
MM, KATHERYN, YOUR TABLE IS LOVELY.
THANK YOU.
CELINE DOES SET A NICE TABLE.
SHE STILL WORKS HERE? Enough.
[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]
Veronica: JEFFERY. MOM.
HELLO, MELISSA. HI.

HELLO. PLEASURE.
HELLO, MRS. CRYER.

HI.
WHO'S THIS?
THIS IS JEFFERY'S DATE.
DATE?
YES. SHE WENT TO MY ALMA MATER.
BUT I'M NOT BLAZING THE TRAILS YOU DID.
OH, YOU'RE DOING JUST FINE, SWEETHEART.
SHE'S QUITE BRIGHT, YOU KNOW?
Katheryn: AND QUITE BEAUTIFUL. YES.
HAVE A SEAT.
HE'S SUCH A GENTLEMAN. IS HE REALLY?
HE REALLY IS. I KNOW. I LOVE HIM.
WELL, THAT DRESS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SO, HOW ARE YOU?
I'M GOOD.
OKAY.
SO, IT ALL WORKED OUT?
YEAH. YEAH, THANKS. SURE.
YOU LOOK LOVELY IN IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I LOVE YOUR BROOCH. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
JIM BOUGHT THIS FOR ME, ACTUALLY.
REALLY? YES, HE DID.
YOU TAUGHT HIM WELL, I'M SURE.
WELL, TRYING TO TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS...
[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]
HEY.
[ SIGHS ]
I KNOW YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR ME.
LOOK AT ME.
JEFFERY...
THANK YOU.
DON'T MENTION IT.
I'M GONNA GO CHECK ON DINNER.
OKAY.
JEFFERY, SON, COME SIT WITH YOUR DATE.
[ SIGHS ]
HI, JIM.
Jim: VERONICA.
I SEE YOU MANAGED TO PULL OFF A MIRACLE.
YES, I DID.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
DON'T MENTION IT.
WHERE'S KATHERYN?
SHE'S IN THE KITCHEN.
THANK YOU.
HELLO.
DAVID, THIS IS MELISSA.
THIS IS JEFFERY'S DATE.
UM...
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M GREAT.
PLEASE, SIT DOWN.
HONEY... YES?
David: DOESN'T KATHERYN SET A LOVELY TABLE?
YES, SHE DOES.
Melissa: HIS MOM INTRODUCED US.
[ CHUCKLES ] OH, OKAY, OKAY.
WE WENT ON A DATE TO HER FAVORITE RESTAURANT...
WHAT WAS THAT? DO YOU REMEMBER THE NAME?
...A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
WHAT IS JEFFERY DOING?
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
HE'LL GET COMFORTABLE.
VERONICA ‐‐ I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.
ENOUGH OF THIS.
JEFFERY, I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ON THE LANAI, SON.
I'M SORRY, MELISSA. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
OKAY.
I NEED TO SPEAK WITH MY SON ALONE.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY TO HIM
THAT YOU CAN'T SAY IN FRONT OF ME.
I'M GOING TO SPEAK WITH MY SON ALONE.
FINE.
GO ON, SON.
SO...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
[ SIGHS ] I'M ON A DATE.
I CAN SEE THAT.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JEFFERY?
YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DATING THAT GIRL.
MOM ‐‐
NO, DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR MOTHER.
TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT.
I MEAN, SHE'S A CUTE GIRL.
JEFFERY.
DAD, I WILL, JUST LET ME ‐‐ NO, NO.
YOU'LL JUST RUIN THAT GIRL'S LIFE,
AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO LET THAT HAPPEN.
YOU ARE GAY.
YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN DATING A WOMAN.
MOM WANTS ME TO.
ARE YOU THAT AFRAID OF YOUR MOTHER?
NO, I‐I JUST ‐‐ I CAN'T ‐‐
YES, YES. YOU ARE.
YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE.
David: VERONICA! VERONICA!
[ SIGHS ]
Veronica: WELL, SEE, I TOLD YOU HE WOULD NEED ME.
JEFFERY IS NOT INTERESTED IN DATING THAT GIRL.
I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.
SHE'S CUTE.
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE ME, DON'T YOU THINK?
HE IS GAY.
VERONICA ‐‐
JEFFERY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
OH, YES, HE DOES.
HE'S AFRAID THAT HIS MOTHER WILL TURN HIM IN.
AND DO YOU THINK I WON'T?
NO, YOU WON'T.
NOW, JUST TELL ME WHERE HIS CAR IS.
TRY ME.
PLEASE.
I DON'T KNOW YOU.
I DON'T KNOW YOU AT ALL.
IT'S FINE. IT'S ‐‐ IT'S FINE. IT'S JUST A DATE.
YOU'RE NOT HAPPY.
I CAN BE. I CAN BE.
NOT LIVING LIKE THIS YOU CAN'T.
[ SIGHS ] CAN WE ‐‐
PLEASE, CAN WE JUST GO IN AND HAVE A GOOD TIME?
PLEASE? SON ‐‐
DAD, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
SON, LISTEN TO ME.
YOU CAN'T LIVE YOUR LIFE FALLING ON YOUR SWORD
TO PROTECT EVERYONE ELSE.
IN THE LONG RUN...
IT WILL SUFFOCATE YOU AND MAKE YOU MISERABLE
BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT SACRIFICE.
AND THAT...WOULD BE A REFERENCE TO ME?
PLEASE DON'T FIGHT ABOUT THIS.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
NOTHING. I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE.
WHO? [ DOORBELL RINGS ]
NO ONE NOW.
HEY.
I'M SORRY. HOW ARE YOU?
I'M OKAY.
COME ON IN.
MOM, DAD, THIS IS QUINCY.
QUINCY.
MM, YOU HAVE A NAME.
YEAH, I DO.
DO YOU HAVE A NAME?
YES. I'M KATHERYN CRYER.
I'M AMANDA'S MOTHER.
THIS IS HER FATHER, JIM.
DAVID AND VERONICA, MY SON, WYATT.
THIS IS JEFFERY AND MELISSA.
OH, YOU THAT...JUDGE.
YES, I'M THAT...JUDGE.
I'M JUDGE JIM CRYER.
THIS IS JUDGE DAVID HARRINGTON.
WHAT UP, NIG‐‐
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE FROM, SON,
BUT THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE
WILL SEND YOU BACK THERE VERY QUICKLY.
YOU WILL NOT USE THAT LANGUAGE IN THIS HOUSE...BOY.
SO, AMANDA, HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN...QUINCY?
A COUPLE OF DAYS.
HE JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH. HE WAS IN JAIL FOR MURDER.
AND WHERE DID YOU MEET?
HE'S A FRIEND OF CANDACE'S.
HE WAS LOOKING FOR HER.
AND NOW YOU'RE DATING HIM.
HOPE TO MARRY.
NOT OFFICIALLY, BUT ARE WE DATING?
WHATEVER YOUR SWEET ASS WANT.
YEAH, WE'RE DATING.
AMANDA ‐‐ WHAT, MO?!
IF HE CAN DATE SOMEONE THAT'S ALL WRONG FOR HIM,
THEN I CAN CERTAINLY DATE SOMEONE THAT'S ALL WRONG FOR ME.
LISTEN, QUENTIN ‐‐ WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
QUINCY, BITCH.
WELL, MR. QUINCY BITCH,
WOULD YOU MIND HAVING A LITTLE CONVERSATION WITH ME
IN MY OFFICE, IN PRIVATE?
OH, YEAH.
SHOULD I ACCOMPANY YOU, JIM?
NO. I‐I GOT THIS.
SHALL WE SIT?
[ SIGHS ]
WELL, NOW...
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE
OR WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING WITH MY DAUGHTER,
BUT I'M GONNA GIVE YOU ONE LAST CHANCE
TO LEAVE HER ALONE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE.

WHAT? I NEVER HIT ANYBODY.
BANGING, SCREWING, SEX, FU‐‐
OH, COME ON! HEY!
I UNDERSTAND. CANDACE PUT YOU UP TO THIS.
SHE'S GOT YOU RIGHT WHERE SHE'S GOT ME.
WHERE IS SHE?
WHERE IS WHO?
CANDACE.
LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME
SHE BEEN MESSING AROUND WITH YOU,
AND NOW CAN'T NOBODY FIND HER.
I'M GONNA ASK YOU ONE LAST TIME.
WHERE IS SHE?
I DON'T KNOW, AND I DON'T CARE.
NOW, YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ‐‐
[ BOTH GRUNTING ]
WHERE IS SHE?! WHERE IS SHE?!
[ MUFFLED GRUNTING ]
HEY! HEY! WHERE IS CANDACE?
[ Strained ] I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS!
WHERE IS SHE? I DON'T KNOW.
WHERE IS SHE? I DON'T KNOW!
WHERE IS SHE?!
Jim: I DON'T KNOW!
GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
GET OFF ME!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I GOT TO GO.
GET ME UP. GET ME UP.
YOU OKAY?
GET OFF OF ME!
AMANDA!
Katheryn: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, JIM?
AMANDA!
SHE LEFT, GONE OUT THE DOOR.
SHUT UP, KATHERYN! SHUT UP!
AMANDA!
DAD, WHAT DID YOU DO?!
GET IN THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW, SWEETHEART.
NO! QUINCY!
I GOT TO GO. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
AMANDA, GET BACK IN THE HOUSE. DAD, WHAT DID YOU DO?
NO! BACK IN THE HOUSE, NOW.
NO. QUINCY, W‐WHAT HAPPENED?
ASKED YOUR DADDY WHY HE BEEN SCREWING MY GIRL.
WHAT?
CANDACE.
YOUR DADDY'S BEEN SCREWING CANDACE.
WHAT?
WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
I WANT EVERYBODY TO GET INSIDE NOW.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] GO ON! GET INSIDE!
HE'S DELUSIONAL.
IS HE? YES.
OH, LIKE I AM? NO.
AMANDA, COME IN THE HOUSE. SO, WYATT WAS RIGHT.
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
HE SAID WHEN HE FIRST SAW CANDACE,
THAT YOU WERE MESSING AROUND WITH HER.
AND THEN WHEN I CAME HOME THAT DAY, YOU WERE AT MY APARTMENT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE.
AND THEN SOMETIMES, SHE WOULD COME IN
AFTER STUDYING WITH YOU, AND I WOULD SMELL YOUR COLOGNE.
YOU HAVE BEEN.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]
AMANDA...
DON'T LIE TO ME, DAD!
CAN YOU PLEASE GO INSIDE
AND LEAVE ME HERE TO TALK WITH MY DAUGHTER?
ANSWER HER, JIM.
[ SNIFFLES ]
YOUR BOYFRIEND, QUINCY...
...IS LYING.
YEAH, WHY WOULD HE?
BECAUSE HE'S A CONVICT.
AMANDA.
I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT
EVERYTHING YOU CAN ABOUT THAT BASTARD.
I'M ON IT.
AND IF HE WAS IN PRISON FOR MURDER,
HOW THE HELL DID HE GET OUT?!
[ PIANO PLAYS ]
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO. NO, NO, NO. KEEP GOING.
NO, I THINK I'LL STOP HERE.
WELL, THEN, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I SAY.
I'M DRINKING.
SO BE IT.
I'M SORRY FOR VERONICA'S BEHAVIOR.
I COULD TALK TO HER.
REALLY?
[ CHUCKLES ] YES.
AND SAY WHAT?
YOU SMILE LIKE I'M POWERLESS, DAVID.
NO, NO. I KNOW YOU HAVE POWER.
THEN WHY SO SMUG?
MY WIFE IS A WONDERFULLY STRONG,
HARDHEADED, AND SOMETIMES STUBBORN WOMAN.
SHE'S COMING AROUND.
ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HER?
YEAH.
WELL, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
WHAT?
MM, THE LIE YOU JUST TOLD.
I LOVE MY WIFE.
[ CHUCKLES ] NO, I KNOW.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.
I AM HAPPY.
YOU WANT A DRINK?
CAN I GET A SCOTCH NEAT, DOUBLE?
DOUBLE.
GUESS YOU NEED THAT DRINK, HUH, MR. HAPPY.
[ CHUCKLES ]
BY THE WAY, I KNOW THE, UH, "I'M HAPPY" IS A LIE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
BODY LANGUAGE, DAVID.
YOUR EYES MOVE ONE WAY WHEN YOU'RE TELLING A LIE
AND ANOTHER WHEN YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.
I CAN TELL BY THE WAY THE WORDS ARE FORMED
IF YOU'RE LYING OR NOT.
SO, YOU'RE AN EXPERT IN BODY LANGUAGE?
WELL, IT IS MY JOB.
OKAY.
SO, CAN I ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS?
OH, I SEE.
YOU WANT TO ‐‐ YOU WANT TO PLAY WORD GAMES.
[ CHUCKLES ] NO. NO GAMES.
I NEED TO TEACH YOU TO BE UNREADABLE.
OH. OKAY.
PROCEED.
[ SIGHS ]
WHY IS YOUR SON SO SAD?
JEFFERY'S GOING THROUGH A LOT.
SUCH AS?
SOMETHING I DON'T CARE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
[ CHUCKLES LIGHTLY ]
I LOVE HOW PROTECTIVE YOU ARE OF HIM.
YES, VERY MUCH.
OKAY.
WHY IS YOUR WIFE SUCH A BITCH SOMETIMES?
MY WIFE IS NOT A BITCH.
YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, IT'S GOOD NIGHT.
MM. YOU'RE PROTECTIVE OF HER, TOO.
VERY MUCH.
SHE'S A LUCKY FOOL.
WELL, MAYBE I AM.
OKAY. [ CLEARS THROAT ]
ANOTHER QUESTION.
ALL RIGHT.
ARE YOU JEALOUS OF JIM?
JEALOUS?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, ALL‐AMERICAN WHITE MAN,
AND YOU HAVE TO BE IN HIS SHADOW.
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE'S AN AFRICAN‐AMERICAN PRESIDENT,
THIS STATE ISN'T READY FOR AN AFRICAN‐AMERICAN GOVERNOR.
ARE YOU JEALOUS?
NOT AT ALL.
I'M A MAN WHO IS COMFORTABLE
IN MY OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND MY OWN SKIN.
THAT WAS TRUTH.
THAT'S GOOD.
YES, YOU ARE.
AND WHAT BEAUTIFUL SKIN IT IS.
ARE YOU FINISHED WITH YOUR QUESTIONS?
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, AND I'M TIRED.
SURE.
WELL, MAYBE ONE MORE, THOUGH.
MM. [ LAUGHS ]
ALL RIGHT. JUST ONE.
[ INHALES SHARPLY ]
DID YOU WANT TO SLEEP WITH ME THE OTHER NIGHT?
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO, I DID NOT.
YOU'RE LYING.
MAGGIE...
YOU WANT ME?
I'M A MARRIED MAN.
OH, DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION.
ALL RIGHT.
TONIGHT'S OVER.
OKAY. I'LL STOP.
I TOLD YOU, YOU CAME OVER HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I WILL STAY HERE IF YOU CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
MM, SURE THING.
FOR THE RECORD...
I AM HAPPY WITH MY WIFE.
THAT WAS BETTER.
NO, YOU'RE ‐‐ YOU'RE GETTING BETTER AT COVERING THE LIE.
THAT'S GOOD.
YOU LEARN FAST.
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ SCOFFS ] WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS BED?
I'D BE SLEEPING IF YOU DIDN'T SNORE SO DAMN LOUD.
[ CELLPHONE BUZZING ]
TELL YOUR WHORES NOT TO CALL SO LATE.
[ BUZZING STOPS ]

YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE!
I'M RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR! [ TIRES SCREECH ]
I'M A JUDGE. I WILL HAVE YOUR ASS!

I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEBODY STOLE MY PHONE.
YOU HAVE ALL YOUR CONTACTS BACKED UP?
YEAH.
WELL, JUST GET A NEW ONE IN THE MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
YOU WANT TO KNOCK OR NUDGE?
