Madea Goes to Jail Page #9
preacher lady, whatever your name is.
I don't agree with all of this.
I hear what you say about forgiveness.
You're supposed to forgive.
This child is telling
what her daddy did.
Your dad is somewhere
living his life and you're on lockdown.
You're in jail
because of what you did.
Learn how to take some responsibility
for yourself. For your own stuff.
I can't stand folks wanna be the victim.
"This person did this so I'm this way. "
Everybody got a story.
Your mama and daddy
gave you life.
That's all they do. No matter
how good, how bad the life was...
...it's up to you to make something of it.
Suck it up and shut the hell up.
- But you don't know what he did.
- Let her talk.
Thank you, Biggie Smalls.
I love it when you call me
"big papa. "
You're such a gentleman.
They say I come here,
I get some time off.
I'm trying to get time off. Do my time.
I don't mess with nobody.
I don't want nobody to mess with me.
People, all you up in here
need to understand something, okay?
Everybody got a life.
What you do with that life is up to you.
Stop being the victim. That's all I say.
I don't preach that stuff.
I will leave that to you.
I don't even wanna be here.
But I got to get out of here
because this is working on my damn-
This is working on my nerves.
Sorry, girls, that's what-
I can't be bothered with this. You-
Guess she told you.
I'm glad you decided
to let me come see you.
Yeah.
So how are you?
I'm making it.
- So you're getting married soon, huh?
- Yeah.
Congratulations.
Good luck with that.
I really don't know what to say.
I feel like I keep letting you down.
I've been going to Ellen.
And I've really been listening
to what she has to say.
And she says that
if you love the Lord...
...then everything is gonna work out
for good for you. Do you believe that?
Yeah. Yeah, I believe that.
I know I do because...
Josh, I gotta believe in something.
You can believe in me.
I know I wasn't there that night.
But I guarantee you
Did you know that they were gonna
do that to me that night?
Did you know that they were gonna
do that to me that night?
No, Candy, I didn't.
Josh, I needed you.
You weren't there for me.
You weren't there. I screamed for you.
And you never came for me.
You left me there.
Candy.
You didn't protect me.
Candy, I'm sorry.
Please, forgive me.
Please.
I was so mad at you, Josh.
I was so angry for so long.
But, Josh...
...I forgive you.
I forgive you.
You gotta go on
and you gotta live your life.
And I gotta live mine.
I'm not gonna be a victim anymore.
I gotta change my life for me.
Now you go get married.
Be happy.
And I'm gonna try
to do the same thing.
I gotta go.
Have a good wedding day.
Joshua. Joshua.
Why are you not dressed?
Get the jacket on.
Linda's gonna be here, and I'm not
getting cussed out behind you.
Get your jacket on.
The mayor and the governor are there.
You gonna make them wait?
You're gonna keep working?
Look at me like I'm stupid?
- I will be out there. Thank you.
- Thank you, Josh
- Thanks a lot. Nice. Nice.
- Calm down. I got it. I got it.
- Josh, what are you doing?
- Hey.
It's your wedding,
why are you working?
- Get dressed.
- I'm getting dressed, man.
I'm getting dressed.
Yeah, you're right.
Hey.
I was looking at-
I was looking at Candy's file. And...
Something's not adding up.
The girl gets 17 years, right?
And the maximum
on this count is four.
Josh, I gotta tell you something.
The couple has written
their own vows.
These vows are from the heart.
And will bind them together forever.
Josh.
You are my heart and soul.
I thank God for you every day.
I promise to love you
in sickness and in health.
I promise to give myself only to you.
And I promise to be honest...
...and to love you forever and ever.
Linda...
...I will always know
that you are a wonderful woman.
But you are a conniving...
...and a manipulating human being...
...and you disgust me.
Joshua.
Ladies and gentlemen.
This beautiful insecure woman...
...that I refuse to marry...
...she padded charges
on a case that she handled...
...sending somebody to jail
for time that they did not deserve.
Thank you.
- What are you doing here? You're-
- Hey, Candy, Candy. Come here.
Come here.
No touching.
Shut up, man.
What are you doing?
I gotta get you out of here, okay?
I gotta get you out. Gotta take
you home. You understand me?
- What are you talking about?
- I'm gonna get you out.
Linda is the last person in my life
that I'm gonna let hurt you.
I'm gonna be here for you.
I'll help you kick that crap
in the streets and all the other stuff...
...if it takes every breath in my body.
Understand?
I love you.
No touching.
The heck with it.
It's a public issue because justice
is for everyone. God bless you.
You're on with Frank and Wanda.
When I was reviewing
Candace Washington's file...
...I discovered Linda Davis
tried both women-
Judges who presided
over each case gave-
The goal of the district attorney's
office is to see that...
...these seven unjustly imprisoned
women be released immediately...
...and be reunited
And it's the T om Joyner Morning Show.
This morning I am outraged.
I am outraged about this prosecutor
that has got Madea in there.
This story is so unbelievable to me.
Reverend Al Sharpton. We're back.
I wanna talk about this hotshot
district attorney...
...that's trying to build up a career...
- ... trumping up charges.
- Michael Baisden.
First, the Jena Six, now the Georgia
for five years for a victimless crime.
- Know how we do it-
- Seventeen minutes after the hour.
Welcome back to the ride.
Call us because Madea
deserves to be freed.
And march down to the DA's office
and get this accomplished.
We are back now.
Mabel Simmons, also known
to the general population as Madea...
...has been arrested and there's been
yet another "Free Madea" rally.
Now, come on.
Okay, she carries a gun. Like carrying.
But she has to carry a gun.
She's a vulnerable older black woman.
Madea is not vulnerable.
That's how I see it.
We have a right to carry our guns.
It's in our constitution.
She bares all those arms. She got
guns, she's just cutting people down.
And she was not the only one.
You put six, seven women in jail
with these kind of sentences.
Is this the kind of justice
we're looking for?
We have a news alert.
I'm in front
of the Georgia State Courthouse...
...where Assistant District Attorney
Linda Davis...
...was indicted today
by a grand jury.
The charges include fraud, tampering,
and providing false documents.
I wish that chick had tried my case.
...maybe tomorrow,
but at some point soon...
...Linda Davis will have
to turn herself in to the authorities...
...and she will be
