00:01:00It's America This Morning. I'm Jay. This is my girl Candy. And 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. But 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. And who exactly is going to
00:01:24clean up the poop after this is all said and done?
00:01:26Certainly not me. But listen, it's for charity, though. It's a good thing.
00:01:29Really? 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. Okay?
00:02:07Oh, I'm a hater, am I?
00:02:08Would you refer to me as a cat person when you know I can't stand animals of any kind?
00:02:13It was for the 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?
00:02:34Yes, I'm fine.
00:02:35Yeah, whatever.
00:02:35Where's my coffee?
00:02:36Can somebody get her some coffee, please? Thank you.
00:02:39It's right there.
00:02:40Oh, boy.
00:02:41All right, folks, here we go. We're back here. Five, four, three, two.
00:02:47Welcome back to America This Morning. Our next guest.
00:02:50All right, so we've confirmed for Thursday, Candy. Now, Friday is the governor's ball. We have not RSVP'd for that,
00:02:55so 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?
00:03:02Yes, we need to cancel. Tell him I came down with something.
00:03:05Even 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.
00:03:19I've talked about this several times. I'm on a very strict diet for the next 90 days, which means that
00:03:24I can't be around any sweets of any kind because even the smell of sweets is total mayhem for me.
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 Shamu.
00:03:37Candy, it won't happen again.
00:03:39That's a relief.
00:03:41Bounce. Bye.
00:03:48Muffin crumbs? Really? Don't you think you're overreacting 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.
00:04:17That'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.
00:04:32Louis? Really? How many of these things do I have to do in a week?
00:04:35Well, the book's not going to sell itself, Candy. Just 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.
00:05:07Is there anything that Candy Myers can't do?
00:05:10Um, 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,
00:05:18and I'm crazy enough to say yes.
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?
00:06:17No. No, I would have remembered something like that.
00:06:25I was eight years old when my parents, the Meyers, 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?
00:07:13I don't know anything. I 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.
00:08:10How 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 for my daughters running you around everywhere?
00:08:28Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:29Correction. He'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.
00:08:36Mm-hmm. Checking in, huh? Off 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! Stop! You're always reading into stuff.
00:08:48Louis and I have a perfectly wonderful working relationship.
00:08:51He is my business manager. That 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. He's family.
00:09:05Not 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 to run anyway.
00:09:22No.
00:09:23You need anything else?
00:09:24No, this was awesome. Thank you. Appreciate 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.
00:09:40Oh, please. Mom, he gets paid enough to get over it.
00:09:45Candace Ann 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.
00:10:01Here's the buttercreams.
00:10:02Oh, here you go, Daddy.
00:10:04Thanks, Candy Garrett.
00:10:05More sweets, please.
00:10:06Okay, coming right up.
00:10:08Uh-uh.
00:10:09That'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.
00:10:17Fantastic.
00:10:18Why are you waitressing, Candy?
00:10:20Yeah, stop worrying about us and just eat.
00:10:22I just want to make sure everybody's okay.
00:10:23We're okay.
00:10:25Sit.
00:10:25And, uh, 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.
00:10:56I 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?
00:11:15I, I think it's time that I find them.
00:11:23Who's she looking for?
00:11:33Mom.
00:11:36I 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 from day one.
00:12:03Yeah.
00:12:03And then a miracle happened.
00:12:06We never treated you differently when Shemaine was born.
00:12:09And you know that.
00:12:11I do know that, Mom.
00:12:12But I am different.
00:12:14And I just...
00:12:15You 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.
00:12:29Please don't cry.
00:12:31So we don't have the same bloodline.
00:12:34Who cares?
00:12:35You'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.
00:12:45Charmaine.
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.
00:13:03They can never love you the way we do.
00:13:08Candace.
00:13:11I'm coming, Daddy.
00:13:25Clearly, you gave this a lot of thought before you told us.
00:13:30Yes, sir.
00:13:31Yeah, well.
00:13:33You're a grown woman.
00:13:35Who am I to stop you?
00:13:39Daddy.
00:13:41None of this changes how I feel about your 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, yeah?
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?
00:14:21I did.
00:14:23I ignored it.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26Not a problem.
00:14:27Well, there's a huge crowd out there, which is good, even if you're late.
00:14:32Do 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.
00:15:41Are you, um, a fan?
00:15:43No, no, my brother, Freddy, is, well, see, he had a heart attack and passed away a couple days 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.

00:16:25And, uh, he was your father, Candy.

00:16:33That, that can't be.
00:16:35I'm sorry it had to come to you like this.

00:17:06So you're not even going to consider it?
00:17:09He's your biological father, Candy.
00:17:12This is 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.

00:28:41You're gonna open up the door.
00:28:42You're just a stubborn old mule.
00:28:46Abner, really, if she doesn't want to see me,
00:28:49I don't want to force her to.

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.
00:29:06We'll head on back.
00:29:08We'll head on back.
00:29:20We'll head on back.
00:29:34We'll head on back.
00:29:35Kendi?
00:29:36Uh, Freddy wanted you to have this.
00:29:48Thank you, Ashton, for everything.
00:29:52I bet I'd better be getting back.
00:29:54Lewis, find me.
00:29:56Likewise. Take care of yourself.
00:30:00Don't you be a stranger.
00:30:03We're family now.
00:30:20Open the box, dummy.
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 what I'm talking about.
00:31:19That's why you should have come to us before going out there on your own.
00:31:22I had Lewis with me.
00:31:23It's not the same thing. I'm your mother.
00:31:25And I would have straightened all this out.
00:31:28Really? How, Mom?
00:31:30Well, 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,
00:31:45and I hope that you realize that you really do have the best life.
00:31:49You have the life that God intended for you to have.
00:31:55So we're done with this, right?
00:31:59Candace?
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.
00:32:33Fly back for work on Wednesday.
00:32:34Wednesday afternoon, I'm going to head to Chicago,
00:32:36do an in-store visit the sister station,
00:32:39come back home.
00:32:39Thursday, I'll stay local after the show,
00:32:42do a couple press junkets with radio.
00:32:44And then Friday afternoon, I'm going to head to D.C.
00:32:47for the breast cancer auction,
00:32:49and I'll be there Saturday 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, Lewis, you said that the book isn't going to sell itself, so...
00:33:03Yep.
00:33:03I just don't think it's a good idea
00:33:05that you jam-packed your schedule so tight, Candy.
00:33:07Well, fortunately, I don't make decisions
00:33:09based on what you think, Gina.
00:33:11Okay.
00:33:11Um, I like this.
00:33:13Let's, uh...
00:33:13This is too bright.
00:33:14Hold on a second.
00:33:15Let me see something.
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:19This is a size six.
00:33:20I'm a size four.
00:33:21Okay, you know,
00:33:23you've kind of
00:33:24a little over the past week.
00:33:27Okay, that's not true.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:29You know what?
00:33:30It's alright.
00:33:31I mean, it's not like a size six.
00:33:33It's fatal.
00:33:33I mean, there are lots of women out there that wear a size sixes.
00:33:35You know what?
00:33:36Well, that's great for them,
00:33:37but I am a size four,
00:33:38and if you don't know the difference between a four and a six,
00:33:41then perhaps you shouldn't be a stylist.
00:33:43Okay, I'll grab your four.
00:33:47Alright, everyone.
00:33:48I need a moment with Candy.
00:33:50Please.
00:33:56Why did you do that?
00:33:58Because apparently you've lost your mind.
00:34:02You and I both know,
00:34:03in this business,
00:34:04a size six 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,
00:34:21so 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,
00:34:28but you can't control how people feel.
00:34:31Thank you, Dr. Phil.
00:34:35I spoke to Avner 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,
00:34:42then it's probably a good idea for you not to bring up those people 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!
00:35:05Elijah!
00:35:06We got two minutes.
00:35:07Okay.
00:35:26We got two minutes.
00:35:27Bye.
00:35:28Bye.
00:35:33Bye.
00:35:35Bye.
00:36:09You know what, tripping?
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 tripping.
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 is 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.
00:36:40I'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 instead of people that are 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 samba is.
00:37:01Yeah, no, I can, um, I can just catch the red eye, uh, 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.
00:37:25Um, 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.
00:37:40Hey, 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?
00:38:04No, 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.
00:38:17I can only imagine what the Twitter thugs were 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, Candy.
00:38:36It's gonna be okay.
00:38:38I don't know, Char.
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?
00:39:02Heavenly Father, we ask for your help to guide Candice 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.
00:39:44I'm sick.
00:39:45I forgot the chicken.
00:40:01I'm sick.
00:40:07I'm sick.
00:40:09Hi.
00:40:11How are you feeling?
00:40:15I feel good.
00:40:28Brownie, from my favorite place.
00:40:32How 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
00:40:41of the book tour.
00:40:44Oh, you know, I'm so rude.
00:40:47I didn't even offer you anything to drink.
00:40:48You want some lemonade or iced tea or what?
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
00:40:58since 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?
00:41:16Simple.
00:41:17You lose a ton of money on book sales,
00:41:19piss off a few dozen vendors,
00:41:21and disappoint a whole lot of fans who want to see you.
00:41:24Why are you acting like this?
00:41:26Isn't this how you want me to be?
00:41:28All business?
00:41:31No.
00:41:31Well, let's stop playing games, Candy.
00:41:37I care about you.
00:41:40I care about your health, your well-being.
00:41:43But you got unfinished business in Manning.
00:41:47And unless you get to the bottom of it,
00:41:50you're gonna fall apart, along with everything
00:41:52you've built in your career.
00:42:00Louis, I'm scared.
00:42:03I know.
00:42:05But God is with you on this.
00:42:08And so am I.
00:42:10OK?
00:42:13OK.
00:42:15Maybe you should call your mom and sister to go with you.
00:42:22Well, I, um, prefer to travel with friends.
00:42:30Louis, I can't do this without you.
00:42:35Don't make me beg.
00:42:39OK.
00:42:46Oh, thank you.
00:42:50Mmm.
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.
00:43:01Mmm.
00:43:05So, 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 gonna give it a week and see what happens.
00:43:13All right, what about that dog?
00:43:15Well, I have a steak and a BB gun.
00:43:19I'ma try to steak first.
00:43:21OK.
00:43:21OK.
00:43:22We thought we'd never see you again, Candy.
00:43:25And then we heard you fainted on the news.
00:43:28Yeah, everything's fine.
00:43:29You know, it's just a lot happened.
00:43:31In a month.
00:43:32I found out I have two brothers, a sister-in-law,
00:43:35new nieces and nephews.
00:43:37And one amazing uncle.
00:43:38Mm-hmm.
00:43:40Y'all want me to drive you out there?
00:43:42No, you don't have to do that, Abner.
00:43:44We, um, we rented a car this time.
00:43:45I remember the weight, so.
00:43:47All right, well, let me know if you need anything.
00:43:48Yes, sir, will do.
00:43:50Don't worry, Abner.
00:43:52I'm not afraid of Mary Jo.
00:43:53You might have to use that BB gun on her, too.
00:43:56Oh.
00:43:57Goodness.
00:44:00Oh, she's pretty Jaime.
00:44:05Do she get to Go-in-law?
00:44:11Do she do her?
00:44:15Do you really want me to try?
00:44:16Oh, my sea.
00:44:16Hello.
00:44:17There...
00:44:17It's a semi.
00:44:22That is the semi.
00:44:22Well, let's see you, everybody,
00:44:22you..
00:44:24Go to endlich,
00:44:26you'll go.
00:44:27Hello?
00:44:33Do you remember me?
00:44:46Heel granite.
00:44:49Come on, boy. Come on. Let's go.
00:44:53Good boy.
00:44:59Mary 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. She won't feel that way too much longer.
00:45:39Because we're not giving up.
00:45:45Let's get something to eat.
00:45:47Just a teaspoon. And I mean a teaspoon.
00:45:55Of white wine.
00:45:57You're kidding.
00:45:58Oh, I never would have guessed.
00:46:01I know. It's my secret weapon.
00:46:04Now 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. Any questions?
00:46:11No.
00:46:14Are you ready for lunch?
00:46:14No.
00:46:19No.
00:46:30Okay.
00:46:31No.
00:46:33No.
00:46:36No.
00:46:38No.
00:46:39No.
00:46:50Mary Jo, you 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 cause I ain't opening the door.
00:47:35You know what?
00:47:36Abner 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.
00:48:14Alright, this is the best pecan pie I've ever had in the whole wide world.
00:48:21So, I'm gonna come back tomorrow and collect my dish.
00:48:26Maybe some good food will help you reconsider.
00:48:40You made some progress today.
00:48:43At least she spoke.
00:48:46Well, you'll wear her down eventually.
00:48:49Ugh.
00:48:50She's just so bullheaded and stubborn.
00:48:54Yeah, tell 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.
00:49:09And you're too bossy.
00:49:11Alright, why don't you just throw in overbearing while you're at it?
00:49:14And extremely sarcastic.
00:49:15Well, I didn't realize I was making everyone so miserable.
00:49:19The pout.
00:49:21My personal favorite.
00:49:22You know, can you please stop?
00:49:24I do have feelings.
00:49:26Alright, alright.
00:49:27I'll stop.
00:49:29If I'm so awful, then why don't you just leave, quit?
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.
00:50:25Luis, when did your older sister die?
00:50:30Last 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.
00:50:53Yvette.
00:50:55Yvette.
00:50:57Yvette.
00:51:01Yvette.
00:51:02Yvette.
00:51:04Yvette.
00:51:13Yvette.
00:51:15Yvette.
00:51:16Yvette.
00:51:18Yvette.
00:51:28Yvette.
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.
00:51:53Well, somebody ate it.
00:52:01It's so peaceful out here.
00:52:03Yeah.
00:52:04It's like a place that time forgot, you know?
00:52:09Not a strip mall or Starbucks in sight.
00:52:12No cameras or microphones.
00:52:15I know it's like there's no expectations or demands.
00:52:21I can just be free.
00:52:28Sorry, just slipped out.
00:52:33Don't be.
00:52:39Since we're just sitting here, let's go look around.
00:52:46No.
00:52:46Come on.
00:52:47Yeah.
00:52:48Really?
00:52:50This girl's going to get me killed.
00:52:53Come on.
00:52:53Wait.
00:52:54Wait.
00:52:56Oh.
00:52:58Isn't this amazing?
00:53:02A swing?
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:05I guess.
00:53:08Uh, Louis.
00:53:10Feel free to push me at any time.
00:53:13Yes, boss.
00:53:18That's good?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:20A little higher, please.
00:53:21All right.
00:53:21You 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.
00:53:36You 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.
00:53:47Missed those days, you know?
00:53:50It'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?
00:53:58He's, he's with Yvette.
00:54:04Sorry.
00:54:05It's okay, Candy.
00:54:06People die.
00:54:08People we love very much.
00:54:11That's, that'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?
00:54:25No, let's go see.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:28Ah, if I can get out.
00:54:30Um, I'll race you.
00:54:33Nah, I don't want, 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.
00:54:40Oh, God, please.
00:54:40I'm gonna commence the bussing, yo.
00:54:41Ready, set, go!
00:54:41Wait, wait, wait, wait!
00:54:42Come on, come on!
00:54:43Ah!
00:54:43Candy!
00:54:46You okay?
00:54:49Is that...
00:54:51Oh, it stinks.
00:54:53Here, let 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, wait.
00:55:10Get off me, get off me!
00:55:12I'm sorry.
00:55:13Get off me, I hate her, I hate her!
00:55:15Calm down, calm down, calm down, I'm sorry.
00:55:17I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
00:55:19I'm not her.
00:55:21Why would you say that I'm not that woman?
00:55:25I'm sorry.
00:55:28Let it out.
00:55:54I'm sorry, I'm...
00:55:57I'm sorry, I hit you.
00:55:59It's okay.
00:56:01I'm a big boy, I can take it.
00:56:06I think she's back.
00:56:21Lewis, let's just go back, okay?
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.
00:56:32Yeah, you do.
00:56:35That just might work to your advantage.
00:56:36Hold on one second.
00:56:37Where are you going?
00:56:38Come on, I just want to get in the car.
00:56:44Come on, Lewis, down, it's cold!
00:56:46Oh, quit whining.
00:56:47What y'all doing?
00:56:49This is private property!
00:56:50I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:56:53Candy fell in some poop, and, well, she stinks really bad.
00:57:03Mmm.
00:57:04This is good.
00:57:06What is it?
00:57:07Rabbits, too.
00:57:08All right.
00:57:11What's wrong?
00:57:13I don't eat bunnies.
00:57:15Well, you do now.
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, I 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.
00:58:08I'll just help you clean up.
00:58:16I can take it.
00:58:17No, no, no, I can't take it.
00:58:17Would you please just let me take it?
00:58:19But you already cooked, let me take it.
00:58:19Please, I've...
00:58:21I'm sorry.
00:58:22I didn't mean for it to break, okay?
00:58:24Ow, shoot.
00:58:26Okay.
00:58:26Now, look what you done made me do.
00:58:29I'm sorry.
00:58:31Okay, let's...
00:58:32It has to go in the water.
00:58:34Clean water.
00:58:35Okay.
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.
00:59:16Okay, 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?
00:59:36Can you drop me off here tomorrow, alone?
00:59:40Sure.
00:59:42Good.
00:59:54Hello?
00:59:55Oh.
00:59:57Hey, Granite.
00:59:59You remember me?
01:00:03Mary Jo?
01:00:07Mary Jo?
01:00:10Seriously?
01:00:10You're going to pull this stunt again?
01:00:14Mary 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.
01:00:42This is amazing.
01:00:43You do all this yourself?
01:00:44Uh-huh.
01:00:47Uh-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.
01:01:06Jams, preserves, pickle peppers, too.
01:01:09Oh, 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, time is money.
01:01:31Lift from your knees, not your back.
01:01:56You want me to call AAA or something?
01:02:00AAA?
01:02:01Nah, 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, I've been through more than this little scratch.
01:02:20I'll be fine.
01:02:21Well, you cut yourself pretty deep.
01:02:23You might want to have a doctor look at it.
01:02:26Nope.
01:02:27I had my fill of doctors.
01:02:43You ain't never seen a woman check her out before?
01:02:48Watch and learn.
01:02:50Now.
01:02:52See, this right here, that's where you're staying for.
01:02:56Check it on, you know, every six months or so.
01:02:59But your earn, you check that every three weeks and you keep it full.
01:03:03Why'd you give me away?
01:03:09You just going to 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.
01:03:21Wasn't meant for you to keep.
01:03:23I was your child.
01:03:25I was your child.
01:03:26Your flesh and blood.
01:03:28Okay.
01:03:29So explain to me, what 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.
01:03:41Well, 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 going to have to get over it.
01:03:48Your manners is terrible.
01:03:50Send the pot to the kettle.
01:03:51That's what's wrong with your generation.
01:03:53Disrespectful.
01:03:54In my day, children want 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.
01:04:16You're my what?
01:04:19My mother?
01:04:21You're nothing but a stranger who happens to share my DNA.
01:04:33Well, I don't ride with no strangers.
01:04:40Oh, okay.
01:04:42So what?
01:04:43You're just going to 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!
01:05:07Lewis?
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.
01:06:23It's the entrepreneur suite.
01:06:27Mary 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 because...
01:06:51If it weren't for him...
01:06:55I wouldn't be here.
01:06:57Well, why'd you come?
01:06:59You don't like me.
01:07:00True.
01:07:04But that doesn't change who you are.
01:07:07Family.
01:07:09So now we can again?
01:07:11Yeah, but don't push it.
01:07:14Yeah, we 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 when they brought you to me.
01:07:30Carol.
01:07:32You was something.
01:07:36And you was beautiful.
01:07:40And you was mine.
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.
01:08:32Doctor'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.
01:08:39Can I see your arm, Miss Jordan?
01:08:43Miss Jordan?
01:08:45Your arm.
01:08:47I'm sorry.
01:09:01I'm sorry.
01:09:19Hey, Mom.
01:09:21What's up?
01:09:22What's up?
01:09:24That's all you have to say to me after two weeks?
01:09:27Where are you, Candace?
01:09:29I'm still in Manning.
01:09:30Why?
01:09:31I mean, you all talked it out, didn't you?
01:09:34Why are you still there?
01:09:36I don't know.
01:09:38What do you mean, you don't know?
01:09:40Your life is here in Atlanta with your family.
01:09:46Mary Jo's family, too, and she needs me.
01:09:55Mom?
01:09:57Yes?
01:09:59I love you, and nothing is going to change that.
01:10:03I just, I need to stay here a little bit longer, and then I'll come home, okay?
