00:01:00It's America This Morning. I'm Jay. This is my girl Candy.
00:01:03And of course, everybody knows I'm an animal lover.
00:01:06Yes, we do know that, Jay. That's because you're an animal.
00:01:09Well, you're exactly right.
00:01:11But actually, I heard about this town in Florida where they're having a dog marathon.
00:01:15You're kidding.
00:01:16No, I'm not kidding.
00:01:17All right, so that's 26.2 miles of loud dog barking and dog fighting.
00:01:22And who exactly is going to clean up the poop after this is all said and done?
00:01:26Certainly not me.
00:01:28But listen, it's for charity, though. It's a good thing.
00:01:29Oh, really? And what charity would that be, the Dumb Ideas Foundation?
00:01:34Folks, my girl Candy, I mean, she's a cat lover. She's a hater.
00:01:38Oh, I'm a hater, am I?
00:01:39Yes, you are.
00:01:40All right, well, viewers, we'd love to hear what you think about this brilliant idea.
00:01:44So please email us, tweet us, and we will weigh in on this subject at the end of the show.
00:01:49Coming up next, we have a brilliant holistic doctor who says that he has proof that a rare mushroom can
00:01:55cure cancer.
00:01:58And we're clear.
00:02:00Can someone please explain to me why this is freezing?
00:02:04Jay.
00:02:05Yes?
00:02:06After eight years of working together, why would you refer to me as a cat person when you know I
00:02:10can't stand animals of any kind?
00:02:13It was for this segment, okay? You gonna be okay?
00:02:18Well, I just think it's a big deal to falsely represent someone.
00:02:22Here we go.
00:02:23You know what? In the future, would you please just refrain from referring to me as a dog person or
00:02:28a cat person or even a goldfish person because that's not who I am.
00:02:31All right, whatever. All right. Are you gonna get over it, though?
00:02:33Yes, I'm fine.
00:02:35Yeah, whatever.
00:02:35Where is my coffee?
00:02:36Can somebody get her some coffee, please?
00:02:39It's right there.
00:02:40Oh, boy.
00:02:40All right, folks, here we go. We're back in five, four, three, two...
00:02:47Welcome back to America This Morning.
00:02:49Our next guest...
00:02:50All right, so we've confirmed for Thursday, Candy.
00:02:52Now, Friday is the governor's ball. We have not RSVP'd for that, so are we a go?
00:02:56Okay, wait a minute. It's this Friday.
00:02:57Yes.
00:02:57We need to cancel. I have other plans.
00:02:59You want to cancel the governor's ball?
00:03:01Yes, we need to cancel. Tell him I came down with something.
00:03:04Even though you were just on the air looking perfectly healthy?
00:03:07Tell him it happened after the show.
00:03:09Got it.
00:03:09Also, one more thing.
00:03:10Yes.
00:03:11Yesterday, I saw some crumbs on my desk. I don't know if they were muffin crumbs or something like that,
00:03:15but are you trying to ruin my career?
00:03:17Candy, I didn't mean to bring pastries around.
00:03:18We have talked about this several times. I'm on a very strict diet for the next 90 days, which means
00:03:24that I can't be around any sweets of any kind, because even the smell of sweets is total mayhem for
00:03:28me.
00:03:28And I don't want to be in chat rooms and on social media where people are talking about how I've
00:03:32just become this big, fat cow, and they put a picture of me in the tabloids next to Shambu.
00:03:37Candy, it won't happen again.
00:03:39That's a relief. Bounce. Bye. Thank you.
00:03:47Muffin crumbs? Really? Don't you think you're reacting just a bit, Candy?
00:03:54Louis, as a manager, you of all people know how vicious sometimes fans can be.
00:03:58That's your eighth assistant this year.
00:04:00Well, what is your point about that?
00:04:02I guess I have no point.
00:04:03These just came in from that F-A-N guy again.
00:04:07That's the third time this month.
00:04:12Anyone can sing in the sun, but not many people know how to dance in the rain.
00:04:16That's corny.
00:04:17Oh, that's very sweet. This guy always says the coolest things.
00:04:20Well, he just might be a stalker.
00:04:22Oh, relax. I'm sure it's harmless. I'm going to put this with my collection.
00:04:26Oh, Candy, the reporter from Woman Now magazine is on set ready for her interview.
00:04:31Louis? Really? How many of these things do I have to do in a week?
00:04:35The book's not going to sell itself, Candy.
00:04:37Just give him 15 minutes, at least.
00:04:40Roger that.
00:04:42Gina, get out.
00:04:43Ugh, I need to get my head straight before this interview.
00:04:49You need to get a lot more than that straight, Candy.
00:04:57You've won numerous awards and honors for hosting one of America's favorite talk shows.
00:05:02You have endorsement deals, thousands of fans, and now a new book.
00:05:06Is there anything that Candy Myers can't do?
00:05:09Um, you know, it's funny. I don't think of myself as very special.
00:05:14I just am blessed enough to have the Lord give me these beautiful assignments, and I'm crazy enough to say
00:05:20yes.
00:05:22But one might wager, Candy, with your busy life and being a woman of a certain age,
00:05:28that maybe you've chosen to sacrifice certain things like marriage and a family.
00:05:34You know, I think it's interesting, Nadia, that you would equate a marriage and family as happiness.
00:05:41And I'm sure that there are millions of women around the world who would beg to differ.
00:05:45Unfortunately, I don't have the time to argue this point because I have to reshoot this promo.
00:05:49But no, I didn't mean to offend you.
00:05:50Oh, no, I know. Thank you so much for your time.
00:05:54Really, take care. Good seeing you.
00:06:05You want to tell me what's wrong?
00:06:07You haven't said a word since the interview earlier.
00:06:13Did I ever tell you I'm adopted?
00:06:16No. No, I would have remembered something like that.
00:06:24I was eight years old.
00:06:26When my parents, the Myers, told me.
00:06:31Do you know what it's like to be eight years old and find out that your family doesn't really belong
00:06:36to you?
00:06:38I can't imagine that. No.
00:06:41Well, I suddenly felt like, I don't know, a hamster that you bring home from the pet store.
00:06:48You know, you're part of the family, but you're not really part of the family.
00:06:53They love you, Candy.
00:06:55I mean, you and I both know that.
00:06:58Yes, I know that, Louis, but that doesn't change how I feel.
00:07:02You know, and when that reporter today stated so graciously that I didn't have a family of my own,
00:07:08I just started thinking, you know, if I do end up having children of my own, what am I going
00:07:13to tell them?
00:07:14I don't know anything.
00:07:14I don't know about their grandparents.
00:07:16I don't know about their ancestry, their history, my medical background.
00:07:19I know nothing.
00:07:20Your grandparents are your folks, Evelyn and Errol Myers.
00:07:23Yeah, Louis, and when my imaginary kids turn eight years old, I'll just tell them that that was a lie,
00:07:29too.
00:07:31Never mind. I'll be back.
00:07:40Three red onions as requested.
00:07:42Oh, great. Perfect.
00:07:44You need me to chop them up?
00:07:45No, but can you shred that gouda for me, please?
00:07:48Why not? You want me to milk the cow, too, while I'm at it?
00:07:51Let me wash my hands.
00:07:54I figured you'd be done with this already.
00:07:56Yeah, well, my family shows up for the first time ever on time, and I'm nowhere near done.
00:08:01I see.
00:08:05Wow, what a treat.
00:08:07Louis, it's so good to see you.
00:08:09How are you?
00:08:11Excellent, and yourself?
00:08:12Blessed as ever.
00:08:14Came to see if my eldest needed any help.
00:08:17No, thank you, Mom. I've got it.
00:08:20Mm-hmm, I see.
00:08:21I guess you do with Louis here.
00:08:23Isn't this your day off?
00:08:25Don't you need a break from my daughters running you around everywhere?
00:08:28Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Correction.
00:08:29He's the one who's always running me around.
00:08:31Book tours and interviews and assignments.
00:08:34I'm just dropping by to make sure everything's okay.
00:08:36Hmm.
00:08:37Checking in, huh?
00:08:39Off the clock.
00:08:40Mom.
00:08:40For no money.
00:08:41Mom.
00:08:42Are you sweet on my candy, Louis?
00:08:44Mom!
00:08:45Stop!
00:08:46You're always reading into stuff.
00:08:48Louis and I have a perfectly wonderful working relationship.
00:08:51He is my business manager.
00:08:52That is it.
00:08:54Well, something's going on.
00:08:55I mean, Robbie never checked in on his day off.
00:08:59That's because Robbie was an idiot, which is why I fired him.
00:09:02Don't say that.
00:09:03He's family.
00:09:04Not my family.
00:09:06Come again?
00:09:07Nothing.
00:09:08Well, Louis, since you're here, why don't you stay for lunch and join us?
00:09:12Sure.
00:09:13No, no, no, Mom.
00:09:14I have something really important I need to discuss.
00:09:15It's a family issue.
00:09:18It's okay, Mrs. Myers.
00:09:20I got a few hands around anyway.
00:09:22No.
00:09:23You need anything else?
00:09:24No, this was awesome.
00:09:26Appreciate it.
00:09:28All right.
00:09:29Good to see you.
00:09:30You have a good day.
00:09:31Take care.
00:09:32Okay.
00:09:37What?
00:09:38I think you hurt his feelings.
00:09:41Oh, please.
00:09:42Mom, he gets paid enough to get over it.
00:09:45Candace and Myers.
00:09:47You're so bourgeois.
00:09:51I wonder where I got it from.
00:09:56Oh, my God.
00:09:58Amen.
00:09:59Praise Jesus.
00:10:01Just a mother, please.
00:10:02Oh, here you go, Daddy.
00:10:04Thanks, Candy.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:05More sweets, please.
00:10:06Okay, coming right up.
00:10:08Uh-uh.
00:10:08That's enough for her.
00:10:10All right, well, does anybody want anything while I'm up?
00:10:12You want some hot sauce or I have peppers in the fridge or, John, you want anything?
00:10:17No, fantastic.
00:10:18Why are you waitressing, Candy?
00:10:20Yeah, stop worrying about us and just eat.
00:10:21I just want to make sure everybody's okay.
00:10:23We're okay.
00:10:24Sit.
00:10:26And where's all this nervous energy coming from, huh?
00:10:30Wait.
00:10:31Are you seeing someone?
00:10:34What's his name?
00:10:35I'm not seeing anyone, Charmaine.
00:10:38Oh.
00:10:38And when are you going to start?
00:10:39I don't know.
00:10:40Do not snap at your sister.
00:10:42She's just concerned about you, as are we all.
00:10:46I am fine.
00:10:47And when I start seeing the right someone, you all will be the first five people to know.
00:10:52I think Louis is perfect for you, honey.
00:10:54I wish you would listen to me.
00:10:55I can see the same thing.
00:10:57He has love and adorable.
00:10:58Can we, can we please, can we please stop talking about my love life?
00:11:03Annie has a job.
00:11:03I have something.
00:11:06I have something that I want to talk to you guys about anyway.
00:11:11What's on your mind, baby girl?
00:11:14I, I think it's time that I find them.
00:11:23Who's she looking for?
00:11:35Mom, I didn't mean to make you upset.
00:11:37I'm not upset, Candace.
00:11:40Clearly.
00:11:41You have everything going for you.
00:11:43A great life, a fabulous career, money, fame.
00:11:47Why now?
00:11:48I don't know.
00:11:50I just feel like it's time.
00:11:53At 35 years old.
00:11:55Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:56I didn't realize there was a statute of limitations for me to find my real...
00:11:59We are your real family.
00:12:01From day one.
00:12:03Yeah, and then a miracle happened.
00:12:06We never treated you differently when Shemaine was born, and you know that.
00:12:11I do know that, Mom, but I am different.
00:12:13And I just, you know, I want to know who I belong to.
00:12:18You belong to me.
00:12:23To us.
00:12:27Mom, I'm sorry.
00:12:28Please don't cry.
00:12:31So we don't have the same bloodline.
00:12:34Candace, you're still my big sister.
00:12:37I will always be, Char.
00:12:39And it's obvious to me, whoever your real parents are, they don't care about you.
00:12:44Shemaine.
00:12:46Mom, I'm sorry.
00:12:48They had enough time to find her.
00:12:50I mean, duh.
00:12:51All they had to do was turn on the TV.
00:12:53And there she was in plain sight.
00:12:57It's obvious they chose to stay away.
00:13:00You don't get it.
00:13:02They can never love you the way we do.
00:13:08Candace.
00:13:11I'm coming, Daddy.
00:13:23I'm coming, Daddy.
00:13:25Clearly you gave this a lot of thought before you told us.
00:13:29Yes, sir.
00:13:31Yeah, well, you're a grown woman.
00:13:35Who am I to stop you?
00:13:39Daddy, none of this changes how I feel about you, Mom.
00:13:48I sure hope so.
00:13:53Because I couldn't bear to lose you.
00:13:57You won't.
00:14:05We'll do anything we can for you, Candy Yam.
00:14:13Thank you, Dad.
00:14:14You're the best.
00:14:17You, too.
00:14:18Candy, did you get my text that the signing was scheduled to start 30 minutes ago?
00:14:22I did.
00:14:23I ignored it.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26Uh, not a problem.
00:14:27Well, there's a huge crowd out there, um, which is good, even if you're late.
00:14:31Do you need anything before you start?
00:14:34Yes.
00:14:35Privacy.
00:14:36Immediately.
00:14:38Got it.
00:14:41Any calls?
00:14:43No calls from the agency.
00:14:45I don't understand, Louis.
00:14:47I mean, okay, there's no father listed on my birth certificate, but they found my mother
00:14:52three weeks ago, so why hasn't she contacted me?
00:14:55Maybe she's scared, Candy.
00:14:57It's been over 30 years.
00:14:59Well, I'm not waiting another 30 years.
00:15:02I hired a private investigator.
00:15:04Hopefully, he'll speed up the results.
00:15:06And I'm just now hearing about this?
00:15:08I'm sorry.
00:15:09I didn't realize I needed to clear it with you, Louis.
00:15:11Well, as your manager, no, but as your friend, I'd like to be kept in the loop.
00:15:15Hey, Candy, they're really, really asking very nicely that we start the book signing right now.
00:15:21Fine.
00:15:23On with the show, right?
00:15:30Here you are.
00:15:32You're welcome.
00:15:34Evening, Miss Myers.
00:15:35Good evening.
00:15:40Are you, um, a fan?
00:15:43No, no, no, my brother Freddy is, well, see, had a heart attack and passed away a couple
00:15:49days ago.
00:15:50Oh, no, I'm, uh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:15:54His, um, his cards and his flowers, they always made my day.
00:15:59Yeah, well, he would have, uh, he would have liked that.
00:16:03Please, um, give your family my condolences.
00:16:08Well, you see, um, that's just the thing.
00:16:11Uh, you are my family.
00:16:15Um, just asked the detective you sent.
00:16:19What?
00:16:20Who are you?
00:16:21I'm Abner Thomas Nelson.
00:16:23My brother was Frederick Andrew Nelson.
00:16:25And, uh, he was your father, Candy.
00:16:32No, I'm, I'm sorry.
00:16:33That, that can't be.
00:16:35Yeah, I'm sorry it had to come to you like this.
00:16:38Uh, but Freddy was so looking forward to meeting you.
00:16:42Excuse me.
00:16:48Um, Freddy's, uh, funerals, uh, he had a couple of days out in Manning.
00:16:52My number's there.
00:16:53He, he would surely love it if, uh, if she could attend.
00:17:06So you're not even going to consider it?
00:17:09He's your biological father, Candy.
00:17:11It's just your last chance to see him above ground.
00:17:16All right, you'll regret it if you don't.
00:17:22I can't go.
00:17:25Not by myself.
00:17:28Who says you have to?
00:17:32And as a friend, deal?
00:17:41I can't go.
00:18:48Yes, Brother Freddy was a good man.
00:18:54Yes, he was.
00:18:55He, oh my.
00:19:04Brother Freddy was a very hardworking man who served the Lord with joy in his heart.
00:19:14He loved his family and didn't have an enemy in the world.
00:19:21Would help anyone in need at any time.
00:19:26And he continued to.
00:19:28I just want to pay my respect.
00:19:30He's a friend of mine.
00:19:31I'm going to tell you.
00:19:31Move out now!
00:19:32Oh, no.
00:19:34Oh, no.
00:19:36I can't do this.
00:19:39What the?
00:19:47Sweet Freddy.
00:19:48Somebody come get her.
00:19:59Excuse me.
00:20:00Put that back.
00:20:00Let her have it.
00:20:03Hell no.
00:20:04Not this time.
00:20:05Just give it to her.
00:20:06Let my brother have some peace for once.
00:20:07What?
00:20:17Mm-mm.
00:20:18Mm-mm.
00:20:19You just might get it.
00:20:20You don't want to mess with me.
00:20:30Crazy ding, but I'm kind of a jerk.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:34Everybody.
00:20:35Everybody.
00:20:35Settle down.
00:20:37Look.
00:20:37This is a home-going service.
00:20:40Not TMZ.
00:20:42Amen?
00:20:42Who's that crazy woman?
00:20:45The mother.
00:20:46Now.
00:21:15Hey.
00:21:16Come on in.
00:21:19Really good to...
00:21:22Good to see you.
00:21:23Oh, Abner, please call me Candy.
00:21:26I think we can dispense with formalities, don't you?
00:21:29Well, Candy, let me introduce you to some of your kinfolks.
00:21:33This is cousin Jesse, cousin Sam, cousin Jamie, and, uh, Alyssa.
00:21:39Hi. Nice to meet you.
00:21:41Now, Abner, come on in here.
00:21:43I want you to meet to cover the fine boys.
00:21:48This is, uh, Trevor and Andrew, Candy.
00:21:52These, uh, these are your brothers.
00:21:56I have brothers?
00:21:59Oh, it's very nice to meet you.
00:22:02Hi, Trevor.
00:22:04You better give me a hug, girl.
00:22:09Welcome to the family.
00:22:14Don't I get an introduction?
00:22:16Um, this is, uh, Trevor and Andrew's mother, Dolores.
00:22:20Uh, it's a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Nelson.
00:22:23Well, don't forget, I was married to Freddie.
00:22:27And I was faithful for every bit of 37 years.
00:22:31How old are you?
00:22:32Careful, Dolores.
00:22:34I'm 35, ma'am.
00:22:37Excuse me.
00:22:38Uh, hi, Mrs. Nelson.
00:22:39I'm Lewis, Candy's manager.
00:22:42So sorry for your loss.
00:22:44Listen, uh, we came a long way to be here today,
00:22:47and I hear Southern women know how to cook.
00:22:50Quite frankly, we're starved.
00:22:52Any chance we get a bite to eat?
00:22:57Susan Mae, go to the kitchen and get a hot plate for these people.
00:23:00Hold up.
00:23:01But bring me a cold glass of ice water.
00:23:04I'm gonna need it.
00:23:10It's a beautiful house.
00:23:12This is nice.
00:23:13Mm-hmm.
00:23:15And that's Daddy after he got his high school diploma eight years ago.
00:23:18Mm-hmm.
00:23:19He did regret having to drop out, but he did have a family to look after.
00:23:22But that didn't stop him from starting his own plumbing bin.
00:23:25That's his store right there.
00:23:27And his ice cream parlor.
00:23:29And he had a delivery service.
00:23:32That's the one I'm in charge of right there.
00:23:33Oh.
00:23:33And she don't care nothing about that.
00:23:36Well, I was just trying to show her that Daddy was a go-getter.
00:23:38And I'm telling you, she don't care nothing about that.
00:23:41Look, he wasn't no slouch.
00:23:42Well, your momma made a complete fool out of herself today.
00:23:46That's enough, Dolores.
00:23:47That child ain't come here to be insulted by you.
00:23:49Well, she ain't no kin to me, Admiral.
00:23:50Well, she's kin to me.
00:23:52And I ain't gonna let you treat her like some mangy dog done wandered in off the street.
00:23:55Mm.
00:23:56More like a mutt if you ask me.
00:23:58Dolores?
00:23:59Please.
00:23:59This here is our family's house.
00:24:01And ain't nobody asked me how I felt about her being here.
00:24:04Okay.
00:24:05Maybe I should go.
00:24:06Blowing in here like she's some big movie star.
00:24:10Honey, we don't need your favors, okay?
00:24:13That wasn't my intention.
00:24:14Mm-hmm.
00:24:14You're probably on this stuff, too.
00:24:16Dolores, stop it.
00:24:17Mm-hmm.
00:24:17Most big time stars are.
00:24:19That's not true.
00:24:20Well, that wouldn't surprise me none.
00:24:23Because the apple don't fall far from the tree.
00:24:25What is she talking about?
00:24:26Nothing.
00:24:26She ain't talking about nothing.
00:24:27Nothing.
00:24:28You called one year in the looting man.
00:24:30Nothing.
00:24:31And judging by that performance she put on today, she needs to go back in there.
00:24:35Mama.
00:24:37Okay.
00:24:37Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna leave now.
00:24:40Louis, thank you for your hospitality.
00:24:43I can't say it was a pleasure.
00:24:45Candy.
00:24:46Come on, baby.
00:24:47Come on.
00:24:48Y'all don't like ugly Dolores.
00:24:49Mm-hmm.
00:24:50Y'all done forgot I buried my husband today.
00:24:53Uh, Candy, you should friend me so I can send you all the family pictures.
00:24:56Oh.
00:24:57Oh, you thought it was because I wanted to brag to everybody about you being my sister and
00:25:00all, but that wasn't even thinking that until just now.
00:25:02And I'm sorry.
00:25:04It's okay, Trevor.
00:25:06Really.
00:25:08Don't worry about my mama.
00:25:10You're always welcome to Manning.
00:25:12Thank you, Andrew.
00:25:14Look after our sister, Louis.
00:25:15We'll do that.
00:25:16Thanks for having us.
00:25:17I'll, uh, drive you all to the hotel.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:20Thank you, everyone.
00:25:22Nice meeting you all.
00:25:34Abner.
00:25:35Mm-hmm.
00:25:37How long have you all known about me?
00:25:40Eh, a few years now.
00:25:45No one came to see me?
00:25:48Yeah, Freddie's wishes.
00:25:50He said it wasn't his call to me.
00:25:53Well, didn't he want to see me?
00:25:54He saw you all the time, watched the show every morning.
00:25:58And if you were somewhere close, he'd go out to see you.
00:26:02Of course, you'd know about the notes and flowers and things.
00:26:07Yeah, which I won't get anymore.
00:26:12He loved you, Candy.
00:26:13He just wasn't... wasn't sure you wanted to hear it.
00:26:18Why would he think that would go home?
00:26:20What happened with him and your mama years ago?
00:26:22Right.
00:26:23He was married to Dolores when they had their affair.
00:26:26No, no, no.
00:26:26It's deeper than that.
00:26:28Much deeper.
00:26:29Okay, so tell me.
00:26:31My flight doesn't leave till tomorrow morning.
00:26:34Well, maybe you ought to talk to your mother.
00:26:38Her name is Mary Jordan.
00:26:40We all call her Mary Jo.
00:26:46Might as well, Candy.
00:26:49We're here.
00:26:53Okay.
00:26:54Where does she live?
00:26:56About an hour outside of town.
00:26:59Far away from everything and everyone.
00:27:45All right, let's head on up.
00:27:46All right.
00:27:47Go.
00:27:47Come on.
00:27:50Come on.
00:27:59Me, come on.
00:28:00Come on.
00:28:08Come on.
00:28:08All right.
00:28:10Heeft me up Don't you?
00:28:11No, he used to try the one.
00:28:13And if he times got off to operate.
00:28:13No, I'll ask him that you can live alive.
00:28:13You push up Don't you?
00:28:15What would he pasti interpret me?
00:28:15Come on!
00:28:20Mary Jo, call off the dog. You got company.
00:28:24Easy, boy. We come in peace.
00:28:29Be careful, Abner.
00:28:31New mama's boy.
00:28:33Shoot.
00:28:35Mary Jo, I've had it!
00:28:36Abner, it's okay, let's go.
00:28:39Oh, no, I drove an hour to get out here.
00:28:41You're gonna open up the door.
00:28:42You're just a stubborn old mule.
00:28:44Um, Abner, really, if she doesn't want to see me,
00:28:49I don't want to force her to.
00:28:51All right, all right.
00:28:54We'll head on back.
00:28:59And I ain't scared of your dog, neither!
00:29:03This is precisely why I'm not a dog person.
00:29:06Yeah.
00:29:25Oh.
00:29:34Candy?
00:29:36Uh, Freddy wanted you to have this.
00:29:48Thank you, Arthur, for everything.
00:29:52Well, I better be getting back.
00:29:55Lewis, find me.
00:29:56Likewise, huh? Take care of yourself.
00:30:00Now, well, don't you be a stranger.
00:30:03We're family now.
00:30:20Open the box, dummy.
00:30:50As for all, I should come to this closed for a while.
00:30:51I still don't mind.
00:30:52You're ready.
00:30:52I just want to hear you.
00:30:53This is God, thank you.
00:30:54I'm gonna live love.
00:30:54I wish you a special guest.
00:30:55I'm going to live love.
00:30:57I was asked.
00:30:57You've missed the command.
00:30:58I've missed my second flight.
00:31:00I've missed you.
00:31:02I've missed you.
00:31:09She sounds like a real pill.
00:31:12Yeah, and then she accused me of being on drugs.
00:31:16What?
00:31:17Me, yeah.
00:31:19That's why you should have come to us before going out there on your own.
00:31:22I had Louis with me.
00:31:23It's not the same thing.
00:31:24I'm your mother, and I would have straightened all this out.
00:31:28Really?
00:31:29How, Mom?
00:31:29Well, first of all, I would have popped that Dolores woman in the mouth for talking to you like that.
00:31:34And then that other woman, the birth mother, Mary Jane.
00:31:37Mary Jo.
00:31:38Whatever.
00:31:38She couldn't even open the door.
00:31:42No.
00:31:43I'm glad you've gotten this out of your system, and I hope that you realize that you really do have
00:31:47the best life.
00:31:49You have the life that God intended for you to have.
00:31:55So we're done with this, right?
00:31:59Candice?
00:32:01Mom, I have questions.
00:32:03And Mary Jo is the only one who can answer them.
00:32:06Well, what if you don't like what she says?
00:32:09What then?
00:32:12Honey, you have all the answers.
00:32:14Use wisdom.
00:32:16And let it go.
00:32:22Smells good.
00:32:24It tastes good, too.
00:32:29So I can cover Cleveland and Cincinnati on Tuesday.
00:32:32Fly back for work on Wednesday.
00:32:34Wednesday afternoon, I'm going to head to Chicago, do an in-store visit, the sister station, come back home.
00:32:40Thursday, I'll stay local after the show, do a couple press junkets with radio.
00:32:44And then Friday afternoon, I'm going to head to D.C. for the breast cancer auction, and I'll be there
00:32:49Saturday to leave for New York.
00:32:53What?
00:32:53What's the problem?
00:32:54Why are you looking at me like that?
00:32:56You hate doing interviews.
00:32:58Now you're trying to do 105 days?
00:33:00Well, Louis, you said that the book isn't going to sell itself, so...
00:33:03I just don't think it's a good idea that you jam-pack your schedule so tight, Candy.
00:33:07Well, fortunately, I don't make decisions based on what you think, Gina.
00:33:11Um, I like this.
00:33:13Let's, uh, this is too bright.
00:33:14Hold on a second.
00:33:15Let me see something.
00:33:19This is a size 6.
00:33:20I'm a size 4.
00:33:21Okay, you know, you've kind of been a little over the past week.
00:33:27Okay, that's not true.
00:33:29You know what?
00:33:30It's all right.
00:33:31I mean, it's not like a size 6.
00:33:32It's fatal.
00:33:33I mean, there are lots of women out there that wear a size 6.
00:33:35You know what?
00:33:35Well, that's great for them, but I am a size 4.
00:33:38And if you don't know the difference between a 4 and a 6,
00:33:41then perhaps you shouldn't be a stylist.
00:33:43Okay, I'll grab your 4.
00:33:47All right, everyone, I need a moment with Candy.
00:33:50Please.
00:33:56Why did you do that?
00:33:58Because apparently you've lost your mind.
00:34:01You and I both know, in this business, a size 6 is a fatality, okay?
00:34:06I might as well just be on the biggest loser.
00:34:08But you're overreacting, Candy.
00:34:09Really?
00:34:10Because I'm saying what it is I want and how I want it?
00:34:13Oh, I see.
00:34:15You're angry about your birth mother.
00:34:19Things didn't go well with her, so you're trying to take it out on everyone else?
00:34:23That's not true.
00:34:24Listen, Candy.
00:34:27I know you're disappointed, but you can't control how people feel.
00:34:31Thank you, Dr. Phil.
00:34:35I spoke to Avener again.
00:34:38He said you haven't been returning any of his calls.
00:34:40You know what, Lewis?
00:34:41If you want to remain my manager, then it's probably a good idea for you not to bring up those
00:34:44people or that place to me again.
00:34:46So you're threatening to fire me, too?
00:34:52Where are you going?
00:34:53Where are you going?
00:34:53To get some air.
00:34:56That's okay, boss.
00:35:04Francesca, Elijah, we got two minutes.
00:36:09You know what, Trippin'?
00:36:11Well, I don't like animals.
00:36:13You know that.
00:36:14While you guys were gone, of course, our last segment where we had the spider monkey from Argentina.
00:36:19Right.
00:36:19And cute little animals.
00:36:21She's trippin'.
00:36:22Cute.
00:36:22Hold on.
00:36:23How many cautionary tales do we need about people having their face ripped off by wild animals?
00:36:29It's a wild animal.
00:36:30The spider monkey's as big as my hand.
00:36:33It's our last guest showed us how to make some of our favorite dishes with alternatives in a more healthy
00:36:38way.
00:36:39Now, okay, Jay.
00:36:39I'm sorry.
00:36:40Your last guest was your next-door neighbor.
00:36:42No, we're not really.
00:36:43Seriously, we have to start putting real chefs on and send people to your friends.
00:36:47Our next guest has created a new fitness craze that's taking the nation by storm.
00:36:52It combines soccer and samba.
00:36:55What do you think about this, Jay?
00:36:56Um, I actually don't know what song it is.
00:36:59I don't know what song it is.
00:37:01Mm-hmm.
00:37:03Yeah, no, I can, um, I can just catch the red eye again on the way back.
00:37:09That's fine.
00:37:10No big deal.
00:37:13Okay, well, I'll see you Thursday.
00:37:16Looking forward to it.
00:37:17You take care.
00:37:19Bye-bye.
00:37:21Candy, I can get you an energy drink to make it through the day if you want.
00:37:24Um, yeah, that would be great, Gina.
00:37:31Oh, has, uh, has Lewis called?
00:37:34He should be here by now.
00:37:35No, but I can get him on the phone for you.
00:37:37Okay.
00:37:39Hey, Candy.
00:37:41Five-minute warning.
00:37:50Candy?
00:37:51Candy.
00:38:00Hey, hey, hey.
00:38:01Slow down.
00:38:01You're gonna have to eat some real food today, you know?
00:38:03No, I don't.
00:38:05No, I don't.
00:38:09I made a huge mistake today.
00:38:11Which was?
00:38:13I watched the news.
00:38:15Apparently the whole world knows that I fainted.
00:38:18I can only imagine what the Twitter thugs are saying.
00:38:21Only that you OD'd on some diet pills.
00:38:23I mean, but that...
00:38:25And I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
00:38:29Sorry.
00:38:30Well, did they plug the book at least?
00:38:32No.
00:38:35Oh, come on.
00:38:36Candy, it's gonna be okay.
00:38:38I don't know, Shara.
00:38:39I just...
00:38:41I've never felt so lost.
00:38:43And it has nothing to do with you and Mom and Dad.
00:38:46It's just...
00:38:48I feel like I'm losing it, you know?
00:38:50Like, I just feel so out of place.
00:38:54Will you pray for me?
00:38:57Yeah.
00:39:02Heavenly Father, we ask for your help to guide Candace today.
00:39:06For you to give her the insight and direction on what she should do.
00:39:11We know that your desire for her is for her to prosper and be in health.
00:39:15Touch her body, her mind, her soul.
00:39:18Restore to her your peace that surpasses all understanding.
00:39:25Thank you for it now.
00:39:27And in Jesus' name.
00:39:28In Jesus' name.
00:39:29Amen.
00:39:34Is that soup homemade?
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, our cousin Campbell made it.
00:39:39You are such a bad liar.
00:39:41You're supposed to make homemade soup.
00:39:43I'm sick.
00:39:45I forgot the chicken.
00:40:07I forgot the chicken.
00:40:09Hi.
00:40:11How are you feeling?
00:40:15I feel good.
00:40:28Brownie, from my favorite place, how did you know?
00:40:33Because I know you, Candy, better than you think.
00:40:40I need to know what you want to do about the rest of the book tour.
00:40:44Oh, you know, I'm so rude. I didn't even offer you anything to drink.
00:40:48You want some lemonade or iced tea or water?
00:40:50No, Candy. What do you want to do?
00:40:54You just missed Charmaine.
00:40:56She's checked on me, like, umpteen times since this whole thing happened, so...
00:41:00Candy, what do you want to do?
00:41:10I don't want to go, Louis.
00:41:12What happens if we cancel everything?
00:41:15Simple.
00:41:17You lose a ton of money on book sales, piss off a few dozen vendors,
00:41:21and disappoint a whole lot of fans who want to see you.
00:41:23Why are you acting like this?
00:41:26Isn't this how you want me to be? All business?
00:41:31No.
00:41:32Then let's stop playing games.
00:41:34Candy.
00:41:37I care about you.
00:41:40I care about your health, well-being, but you got unfinished business in Manning.
00:41:47And unless you get to the bottom of it, you're going to fall apart, along with everything you built in
00:41:52your career.
00:41:53I care about you.
00:42:00Louis, I'm scared.
00:42:03I know.
00:42:04But God is with you on this.
00:42:08And so am I.
00:42:10Okay?
00:42:14Okay.
00:42:15Good.
00:42:16Maybe you should call your mom or sister to go with you.
00:42:22Well, I, um, prefer to travel with friends.
00:42:28Louis, I can't do this without you.
00:42:35Don't make me beg.
00:42:39Okay.
00:42:51Oh, my gosh.
00:42:53Dinner was delicious.
00:42:54Mm-hmm.
00:42:55And who made that amazing pecan pie?
00:42:57Right here.
00:42:58Y'all heard that?
00:42:59She loves my pie.
00:43:04So, uh, think you're ready to see Miss Mary Jo tomorrow?
00:43:09I don't know, Andrew, but I hope so.
00:43:11We're going to give it a week and see what happens.
00:43:13And what about that dog?
00:43:15Well, I have a steak and a BB gun.
00:43:19I'm going to try the steak first.
00:43:21Okay.
00:43:22Okay.
00:43:22We thought we'd never see you again, Candy.
00:43:25And then we heard you fainted on the news.
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28Everything's fine.
00:43:29You know, it's just a lot happened in a month.
00:43:32I found out I have two brothers, a sister-in-law, new nieces and nephews.
00:43:36And one amazing uncle.
00:43:40Y'all want me to drive you out there?
00:43:42No, you don't have to do that, Abner.
00:43:43We, um, we rented a car this time.
00:43:45I remember the wait, so.
00:43:47All right.
00:43:47Well, let me know if you need anything.
00:43:48Yes, sir.
00:43:49Will do.
00:43:50Don't worry, Abner.
00:43:51I'm not afraid of Mary Jo.
00:43:53You might have to use that BB gun on her, too.
00:43:56Oh, goodness.
00:44:26Hello.
00:44:32Oh, do you remember me?
00:44:46Heel granite.
00:44:49Come on, boy.
00:44:50Come on.
00:44:51Let's go.
00:44:52Come on.
00:44:54Good boy.
00:45:00Mary Jo, please talk to me.
00:45:25You weren't expecting her to come easy, remember?
00:45:30Did you see how she looked at me?
00:45:33Like I'm an intruder?
00:45:36No.
00:45:37She won't feel that way too much longer.
00:45:39Because we're not giving up.
00:45:43Come on.
00:45:45Let's get something to eat.
00:45:47Just a teaspoon, and I mean a teaspoon, of white wine.
00:45:57You're kidding.
00:45:58Oh, I never would have guessed.
00:46:00I know.
00:46:01It's my secret weapon.
00:46:03Now, if you tell anybody about it, I will hunt you and beat you senseless.
00:46:08Do you understand?
00:46:09I do.
00:46:10Okay.
00:46:10Any questions?
00:46:11No.
00:46:12No.
00:46:29I don't know.
00:46:29I don't know.
00:46:49Mary Jo?
00:46:52You in there?
00:46:59Go away and stay off my property.
00:47:05We need to talk.
00:47:07I ain't interested.
00:47:09Just go back to your fancy hotel.
00:47:12How do you know I'm staying at a fancy hotel?
00:47:16You got money, don't you?
00:47:18Don't take a genius to figure that out.
00:47:24Mary Jo, I just want to talk to you, and I'm not leaving until we do.
00:47:29Then you better get a campfire going out there, because I ain't opening the door.
00:47:34You know what?
00:47:35Abner is right.
00:47:36You're just a stubborn mule.
00:47:50You hard to hear, child?
00:47:56What are you afraid of?
00:48:02I know you heard me.
00:48:06I'm scared too, Mary Jo, but I'm here.
00:48:12All right.
00:48:15This is the best pecan pie I've ever had in the whole wide world, so I'm going to come
00:48:22back tomorrow and collect my dish.
00:48:26Maybe some good food will help you reconsider.
00:48:40I made some progress today.
00:48:43At least she spoke.
00:48:45Well, you'll wear it down eventually.
00:48:49Ugh.
00:48:50I mean, she's just so bullheaded and stubborn.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55Tell me about it.
00:48:56What is that supposed to mean?
00:48:58Well, Candy, let's just say I can see the family resemblance.
00:49:02I am not stubborn, Louis.
00:49:04I'm meticulous.
00:49:05I'm tenacious.
00:49:07Well, the rest of the world calls that stubborn, and you're too bossy.
00:49:11All right.
00:49:11Why don't you just throw in overbearing while you're at it?
00:49:14I'm extremely sarcastic.
00:49:15Well, I didn't realize I was making everyone so miserable.
00:49:19The pout.
00:49:20My personal favorite.
00:49:22You know, can you please stop?
00:49:24I do have feelings.
00:49:26All right.
00:49:26All right.
00:49:27I'll stop.
00:49:29If I'm so awful, then why don't you just leave?
00:49:34Quit.
00:49:38Well, because I like you.
00:49:42I like your heart.
00:49:44I mean, when it's in the right place.
00:49:47Yeah, well, I bet you didn't count on all this family drama.
00:49:50I mean, what family doesn't have drama?
00:49:54Really?
00:49:56Okay, well, I'm all ears.
00:50:00My parents divorced when I was 12.
00:50:03My oldest sister died of breast cancer.
00:50:06My youngest sister's in the military.
00:50:08Oldest brother's incarcerated.
00:50:10My middle brother's happily married in Florida, and then there's me.
00:50:13No wife, no kids, no rap sheet.
00:50:20I didn't know any of that.
00:50:25Lewis, when did your older sister die?
00:50:29Last year.
00:50:33Why didn't you tell me?
00:50:35I mean, you didn't have to grieve alone.
00:50:40You were busy with your book, so I didn't want to distract you.
00:50:47What was her name?
00:50:50Yvette.
00:50:54Yvette.
00:50:56Hey.
00:50:59How's the choice?
00:51:00That's right, Fitz.
00:51:00I'm so curious for what you are.
00:51:00Why did you play with you?
00:51:00All right.
00:51:00God help is towards you.
00:51:14God help's body.
00:51:14Mrs. Michael, I think she can help you.
00:51:15Yes, sir.
00:51:16A beautiful heart, My daughter, I think you agree this is três recibes.
00:51:35She's gone.
00:51:39And we'll wait.
00:51:45Hey.
00:51:48At least she ate the pie.
00:51:49Oh.
00:51:51I think.
00:51:52Yeah, well, somebody ate it.
00:52:00It's so peaceful out here.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:04It's like a place that time forgot, you know?
00:52:08Not a strip mall or Starbucks in sight.
00:52:12No cameras or microphones.
00:52:15You know, it's like there's no expectations or demands.
00:52:21I can just be free.
00:52:28Sorry.
00:52:29Just slipped out.
00:52:33Don't be.
00:52:39Since we're just sitting here, let's go look around.
00:52:45Come on.
00:52:47Yeah.
00:52:48Really?
00:52:50This girl's gonna get me killed.
00:52:52Come on.
00:52:54Wait.
00:52:54Wait.
00:52:56Oh.
00:52:58Isn't this amazing?
00:53:02A swing?
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:05I guess.
00:53:09Louis, feel free to push me at any time.
00:53:13Yes, boss.
00:53:18That's good?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:20A little higher for you.
00:53:21Right.
00:53:22You asked for it.
00:53:26This is so fun.
00:53:28Yeah.
00:53:29You needed some of that.
00:53:31What?
00:53:32It's true.
00:53:37You know, you're right.
00:53:38I guess I don't really let myself have this kind of fun, you know?
00:53:45Not since I was a kid.
00:53:47I miss those days, you know?
00:53:49It's like my father used to take us camping when we were little.
00:53:54We really had some good times together.
00:53:56Where's your dad now?
00:53:59He's with Yvette.
00:54:04Sorry.
00:54:05It's okay.
00:54:06People die.
00:54:08People we love very much.
00:54:11That's why this is such a blessing.
00:54:14You know, you get a second chance with Mary Jo.
00:54:16And as long as she's alive, there's hope.
00:54:21You've been out here a while.
00:54:22You think she might be back?
00:54:25Well, let's go see.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:28If I can get out.
00:54:30Um, I'll race you.
00:54:32Nah, I don't want you to choke to death, you know?
00:54:36Choke on what?
00:54:37My dust.
00:54:38Hold on, let me tie my shoe.
00:54:39Oh, God, please.
00:54:40I'm gonna commence the bussing y'all.
00:54:41Ready, set, go!
00:54:41Wait, wait, wait, wait!
00:54:42Come on, come on!
00:54:43Candy!
00:54:46You okay?
00:54:49Is that...
00:54:51Oh, it stinks.
00:54:53Let me help you out.
00:54:54Get off me, okay?
00:54:55I don't need your help.
00:54:59Okay, Mary Jo.
00:55:03I'm not that woman.
00:55:05You sure about that?
00:55:08Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:55:10Get off me!
00:55:11Get off me!
00:55:12I'm sorry.
00:55:13Get off me!
00:55:14I hate her!
00:55:14I hate her!
00:55:15Calm down, calm down.
00:55:16I'm sorry.
00:55:17I'm sorry.
00:55:17I shouldn't have said that.
00:55:19I'm not that woman.
00:55:21Why would you say that I'm not that woman?
00:55:23I'm not that woman.
00:55:25I'm sorry.
00:55:26I'm sorry.
00:55:27Let it out.
00:55:54I'm sorry.
00:55:57I'm sorry.
00:55:57I'm sorry.
00:55:58I hit you.
00:55:59It's okay.
00:56:01I'm a big boy.
00:56:02I can take it.
00:56:06I think she's back.
00:56:21Lewis, let's just go back.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:24I don't want to stand out here all day begging her to open the door.
00:56:28And plus, I stink really badly.
00:56:31Yeah, you do.
00:56:35That just might work to your advantage.
00:56:37Hold on one second.
00:56:37Where are you going?
00:56:38Come on.
00:56:39I just want to get in the car.
00:56:44Come on, Lewis.
00:56:45I found his car.
00:56:46Ah, quit whining.
00:56:47What y'all doing?
00:56:49This is private property.
00:56:51I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:56:52Candy fell in some poop and, well, she stinks really bad.
00:57:04This is good.
00:57:06What is it?
00:57:07Rabbits, too.
00:57:08I like it.
00:57:11What's wrong?
00:57:12I don't eat bunnies.
00:57:15Well, you do not.
00:57:19Here, I'll take it.
00:57:21What?
00:57:22I'm hungry.
00:57:30Thanks for dinner, Mary Jo.
00:57:34Welcome.
00:57:35Hey, listen.
00:57:36I need to make a few calls.
00:57:37I think I'm going to wait in the car.
00:57:51I like your cookie jars.
00:58:00Oh.
00:58:02I saw the greenhouse in the back, so what kind of vegetables do you grow?
00:58:07Okay, I'll just help you clean up.
00:58:16I get it.
00:58:17I can take it.
00:58:17Would you please just let me take it?
00:58:19Let me take it.
00:58:19Please, I can't.
00:58:21I'm sorry.
00:58:22I didn't mean for it to break, okay?
00:58:24Ow, shoot.
00:58:25Okay.
00:58:26Now, look what you done made me do.
00:58:28I'm sorry.
00:58:31Okay, let's, it has to go in the water.
00:58:34Put it in the water.
00:58:50Why'd you come back?
00:58:52After the funeral, I mean, after everything.
00:59:01I came back for me.
00:59:06This is for me.
00:59:10I'm going to have to get some peroxide and put it on there.
00:59:15It's pretty deep.
00:59:15Okay, put the pressure like that.
00:59:17There you go.
00:59:18Okay.
00:59:19I know it hurts.
00:59:34How'd it go?
00:59:37Can you drop me off here tomorrow, alone?
00:59:40Sure.
00:59:42Okay.
00:59:54Hello?
00:59:55Oh.
00:59:57Hey, Granite.
01:00:00You remember me?
01:00:03Mary Jo?
01:00:06Mary Jo?
01:00:09Seriously, you're going to pull this stunt again?
01:00:13Mary Jo?
01:00:18I haven't finished dressing yet.
01:00:25Come help me with these crates out back.
01:00:31Good morning to you, too.
01:00:37You can start with them.
01:00:41Wow.
01:00:43This is amazing.
01:00:43You do all this yourself?
01:00:45Uh-huh.
01:00:4724 years.
01:00:50Well, let's get loading.
01:00:52I don't want to be late on my runs.
01:00:57So, what is all this?
01:01:00I sell fruits and vegetables wholesale to the smaller grocers, the little ones.
01:01:05Jams, preserves, pickle peppers, too.
01:01:08Oh, so you're an entrepreneur.
01:01:12Well, if that mean I own my own business.
01:01:15Yes, ma'am.
01:01:20Well, let's get moving.
01:01:22Come on, now.
01:01:23Time is money.
01:01:32Lift from your knees, not your back.
01:01:56You want me to call triple A or something?
01:01:59A triple hole?
01:02:02Nah, I'll be fine.
01:02:04Just the coolant leaking again.
01:02:11You know, I can drive if that cut on your hand is hurting.
01:02:16Oh, God, I've been through more than this little scratch.
01:02:20I'll be fine.
01:02:22Well, you cut yourself pretty deep.
01:02:23You might want to have a doctor look at it.
01:02:26Nope.
01:02:27You had my fill of doctors.
01:02:43You ain't never seen a woman check her out before?
01:02:48Watch and learn.
01:02:51Now, see, this right here, that's where you're stealing from.
01:02:55Check it on, you know, every six months or so.
01:02:59But your ear, you check that every three weeks, and you keep it full.
01:03:03Why'd you give me away?
01:03:09You just gonna ask me out of nowhere like that?
01:03:11Yeah.
01:03:13Mary Jo, I need to know.
01:03:18It wasn't meant for me to keep.
01:03:20Wasn't meant for you to keep.
01:03:23I was your child.
01:03:25You're flesh and blood.
01:03:28Okay, so explain to me.
01:03:30What were the mitigating circumstances that warranted you surrendering custody of me?
01:03:35Oh, that's your fancy way of asking me if I gave you up for no good reason.
01:03:38Yeah, did you?
01:03:39I don't want to talk about it.
01:03:40Well, you know what?
01:03:41That's just too bad, because we're stuck out here in the middle of nowhere, stuck in a truck together.
01:03:46So you're just gonna have to get over it.
01:03:48Your manners is terrible.
01:03:49Send the pot to the kettle.
01:03:51That's what's wrong with your generation.
01:03:53Disrespectful.
01:03:54In my day, children wants to be seen and not heard.
01:03:57Well, you might want to take a good look, Mary Jo, because I'm not a child anymore.
01:04:02You?
01:04:07You don't know what I've been through.
01:04:09You're just a spoiled little rich gal.
01:04:11Really?
01:04:12And you are a nasty old broad.
01:04:14You don't talk to me like that, because I'm your mother.
01:04:16Not my what?
01:04:18Not my what?
01:04:18My mother?
01:04:20You're nothing but a stranger who happens to share my DNA.
01:04:30Well?
01:04:34I don't ride with no strangers.
01:04:40Oh, okay.
01:04:42So what?
01:04:43You're just gonna leave me out here in the middle of nowhere?
01:04:46You know what, Mary Jo?
01:04:47This getting rid of me business is getting kind of old.
01:04:51Bye!
01:04:57Bye!
01:05:06Bye!
01:05:06Louis?
01:05:08Yeah, she left me here in the middle of nowhere.
01:05:12Yeah!
01:05:12You know what?
01:05:13I'm done.
01:05:14I want to go home.
01:05:21Hey, you faced your fears, and you came out here.
01:05:25I'm proud of you.
01:05:32Hey, Abner.
01:05:34What?
01:05:36No, she doesn't know.
01:05:38Mary Jo had a stroke.
01:05:39Where's the hospital?
01:05:42Okay, we're on the way.
01:05:54Dr. Forrest, dial 118, please.
01:05:57Dr. Forrest, please dial 118.
01:06:14I like what you've done with the place.
01:06:23Is the entrepreneur sweet?
01:06:27Very, Jo.
01:06:31So how'd you find me this time?
01:06:34Abner.
01:06:37He knows people who work at the hospital, so...
01:06:40That figure's one busybody of a man just as nosy.
01:06:44Yeah, well, we should probably be thankful for him,
01:06:49because if they weren't for him.
01:06:55I wouldn't be here.
01:06:57Well, why'd you come?
01:06:58You don't like me.
01:07:00True.
01:07:04But that doesn't change who you are.
01:07:07Family.
01:07:08So now we can again?
01:07:11Yeah, but don't push it.
01:07:14Yeah, we're family, all right.
01:07:18You asked me a question, and I think you deserve an answer.
01:07:24You was born in this hospital.
01:07:27When they brought you to me.
01:07:31I was a 16-year-old dumb girl.
01:07:33And you was something.
01:07:37And you was beautiful.
01:07:40And you was man.
01:07:44I was a 16-year-old dumb girl.
01:07:49Big mama was dead.
01:07:53And they brought me these papers to sign.
01:07:56I thought it was so the state could help me take care of you.
01:08:00Welfare aid.
01:08:03But it was the papers that released custody of me.
01:08:09I couldn't read the words right.
01:08:15Freddie couldn't heal.
01:08:20Why?
01:08:20Why?
01:08:23Excuse me, Miss Myers, but visiting hours are over,
01:08:26and Miss Jordan here really needs to get her rest.
01:08:29Well, we just need five more minutes.
01:08:31I'm sorry, doctor's orders.
01:08:33Okay, well, I'm going to stay in town a few more days.
01:08:36I'll see you when you get out.

01:22:16Out? Out doing what?
01:22:18Out doing busy. Why?
01:22:22So you were too busy to return my phone call? I was worried about you, Louis.
01:22:29You didn't return any of my calls when you were in Manny.
01:22:31I was bonding with my birth mother.
01:22:34So what? You just forgot about me?
01:22:38No, okay? No, I didn't forget about you, alright? That's not fair. I called you, I saw the pictures, and
01:22:46I called you over to eat so we could...
01:22:48To what, Candy? Huh? To what?
01:22:56Never mind, forget it. Exactly. Fine, I'll just go home.
01:23:06Fine. Bye.
01:23:09You know what, Candy? You are so stubborn. And you're never gonna change. That's why I quit. I don't wanna
01:23:21be your manager anymore.
01:23:22Fine, I don't want you to be...
01:23:43Well, everyone, this is the end of my first week back to work, and I just wanna thank all of
01:23:49you for your cards, your letters, your emails, your tweets to me and my family.
01:23:53I really appreciate it. And I also wanna extend my sincerest gratitude to the best co-anchor in the world,
01:24:01Mr. Jay Grant.
01:24:02You have worked with me for over eight years, and you have never said one negative word about me, and
01:24:08I really appreciate that.
01:24:10I love you, Jay. Well, I love you too, Candy.
01:24:14You know, I actually love your book, too. No, no, real talk. George, is this it? Right here? Good.
01:24:21Having my chocolate cake and eating it, too. This was an incredible read. I mean, it really, really was. Well
01:24:27done, Candy.
01:24:28Thank you, darling. Well, everyone, that's our show for today.
01:24:32Now, you will be back next week, right? Oh, yeah. You're not getting rid of me, Jay.
01:24:36Oh, I hope not, because I can't work by myself. I need my Ace Boone, all right? I need my
01:24:39Ryder Die chick, you know what I'm saying?
01:24:40I need my Michelle Obama. I need my Dwyane Wade. I need my Beyonce, all right? Are you ready, B?
01:24:45Sir Ward. Okay, all right, listen. Jay, say goodbye to the nice people of America.
01:24:52Goodbye to the nice people of America. See you later. Take care. See you next week.
01:24:56That was nice. And we're clear. Great show, everybody. Great week. That's a wrap. That's a wrap.
01:25:19Who gives this woman away to marry this man? Me and her mothers.
01:25:27And her beloved uncle on behalf of her deceased father.
01:25:32Share something that others envy. It's rare as a hole inside a penny.
01:25:40Timeless treasures are still. Yeah, to come this is real. Yeah, darling.
01:25:47Nothing come past you. You've helped me see out the dark.
01:25:52I've been in the past of my life. To the endings of time. We will survive, side by side.
01:26:00You always been on my side. You opened my eyes. To realize you're my life. So even after we...
01:26:09What a nice day. And I've lost my family. I'm done. I'm cutting all these streets.
01:26:09It's real. I'm cutting all these streets. So even after we get out of the streets.
01:26:10So even after we'd find out the streets. And that's a little bit...
01:26:10What about you? You can take care of your sweetheart.
01:26:10To realize you're there? You're still a substitute.
01:26:10I'll come back every day. And that's how you...
01:26:10That's what you're doing. You're still a substitute.
