Previously on Saints and Sinners,

I thought you had the deed to the church.

Are you going to choose this trash over your own mother?

You need to watch your step.

This is a dream partnership babe. We gonna be all right.

Have a dream, but don't have amnesia.

Remember, Levi got a past too.

How did you let this happen, man?

I can't let that little, bitch‐ass Jabari, get the best of me.

What do you want to do?

We gotta find out what Jabari is up to.

Detective St. Charles, The Cypress Police Department,

We're looking for a murder suspect.

You're saying your baby was stolen before it was born?

Yes.

So you're gonna tell me I'm crazy now too, huh?

I need your help getting our church back.

You're not always as smart as you think you are.

And if we gonna be partners, we gotta be on the same page, man.

We're good. Trust me.

Was there anything suspicious the night you found the phone?

I was surprised to see that her grave was still open.

Typically when we acquire another property,

there's much more construction.

What's the capacity on the sanctuary?

Two thousand. And that's not including the choir stands.

Hmm. Oh too bad we can't get the choir in the deal.

I mean, five consecutive Gospel Fest wins. That's impressive.

Thank you.

We were always jealous.

[Laughter]

I think we'd have to upgrade the musical equipment.

As you know, we broadcast across three counties.

Yeah. Ah, you guys are almost in Joel Osteen territory.

[Laughter]

Oh, not Joel Osteen territory.

Hey, I could find dinner tonight at...

Oh,

[Laughter]

I can come back.

No, Angela please, come meet Nina Collier.

Here family owns Victory Baptist Church.

Ah, Victory Baptist.

I hear your broadcast slogans for your services on the radio all the time.

Yes! Winning. With God's blessings, we'll keep growing.

Victory Baptist is looking to franchise.

Franchise?

Oh yes. We were speaking to Pastor Johnson before he died.

I never thought we'd get here.

Why don't you show me around this town of yours.

I hear you have a favorite barbecue place.

Yes. We can walk from here.

Oh.

Give you a chance to check out the town.

Mmm.

Ah Angela, I'll be back. Call me if you need me.

I highly recommend the ribs.

[Instrumental Music]

Great schools,

minimal traffic and low crime.

Mmm.

It's a bit of a time warp. You think they're ready for change?

They were ready fifteen years ago when I was here.

Just waiting on a visionary.

Plus, Cypress is about to explode in value

which in my opinion, would be great for Victory's bottom line.

I'm trying to get you in on the ground floor.

Oh Ella,

I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit.

I guess you have to dress a bit more masculine in a political arena.

Funny you should say that since you're the one wearing pants.

I'm so surprised to see you. I thought you forgot all about

where you came from.

Ella we're conducting some business that doesn't concern you.

Well as Mayor of Cypress, everything that goes on in this

city, is of my concern, Nina.

My church wasn't for sale in the past, and it certainly

isn't for sale now.

Well, I'm a bit confused because

Levi here, who is the legal owner of the church,

says it is.

My family built this church from the ground up.

And we would never stoop to game show fashions

in which your church operates.

[Chuckles] Game show. That's cute.

Well let's see,

behind door number one is a pathetic,

dried‐up, old church lady.

And behind door number two is a failing church

with franchise profit potential.

Now which door do you think I'm gonna choose?

The one that hits your ass on the way out of my town.

You know what Nina, let's get back to lunch.

Yes, I think so. We have some paperwork to sign and

I'm famished. I'm hoping those ribs are as goos as good as you

[Gasps]

[Screams]

What the hell?

Ya. Hey!

You okay?

Aye, come back here!

Aye, aye! [Motorcycle revs up] Aye!

This is low, even for you Ella.

Look, I had nothing to do with that.

[Sighs]

This city really starting to go downhill, huh church boy?

[Laughter]

[Laughter]

I can't remember the last time I was in church.

It feels so empty and weird.

Don't worry about it. You get used to it.

I hope not.

This is just temporary till this deal goes through, right?

Yeah, baby. Look,

Lee, Lee, hey cuz, how'd the meeting with Nina go?

Not good.

I thought it was a lock.

It was until she got robbed by one of Rex's boys.

So if she doesn't sign, we loose everything?

All right, baby, look.

Hey cuz, between the audit and the robbery...

Look, don't worry about it, okay?

I got another plan. I just gotta catch Nina before she leaves town.

‐ Babe...look, ‐ Jabari,

you have got to get us out of this.

This type of thing happens, okay? It happens all the time.

Levi gonna take care of it, all right?

And what if he doesn't?

[Sighs] Baby, look.

We in a church, right?

How about having a little faith, hmm?

[Footsteps]

Who was that?

That's Angela. Church secretary.

The one who snitched on Christie?

Yeah.

Well look, here and Levi are going through this little rebound thing right now, so...

Don't worry. She don't know nothin' about nothin'.

Mm hm.

You better watch that thirst trap.

She could be trouble.

♪ Wish I'd been a man and tried to make you stay ♪

Let me get a coffee, man. Good to see you.

Good to see you, Raymond. Yeah.

Rex, I had that handled.

You so cute when you get mad.

I don't understand what the problem is.

Why can't you admit

that you need old Rex.

I don't need your help anymore.

Levi is just

interested in getting paid.

So I'm just gonna buy the church back.

Oh come on, Ella.

You too much of a boss to give in.

I don't have time to play these games

with Levi and Jabari.

I just wanna protect the church so I can move on

to a more important task,

like ridding the city of thugs.

[Chuckles]

Well I'll be here if you need me.

Yeah well I won't.

[Police siren]

Tam, Tey, hey, hey,

What?

You gotta promise me you're not

gonna get hyper, listen,

Listen, we're gonna look at these records

and whatever they say,

we're going to accept.

Yes.

Do you understand?

Yes, Miles. I understand. I'm not a lunatic, all right?

This is going to prove everything. All right? Excuse me.

Pardon me, Sir. Hi. My name is Tamara Austin, I was wondering

if I could get a copy of my discharge papers?

Um, I was in here a couple of weeks ago for a car accident.

Sure.

Thank you.

And your last name is?

‐ Austin. ‐ Calloway.

Austin.

I need to see your ID.

Aah.

[Soft Instrumental Music]

Mm hm.

[Paper printing]

Thank you.

My ID please.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Excuse me, ah are you sure this is right? This, this can't

‐ This can't be right. ‐ Let me

‐ No, no, no, no, no ‐ take a look. Let me take a look.

I'm telling you, I've been trying to tell you this is a conspiracy.

That Christie bitch is behind that.

‐ She's the one trying to make me, ‐ What?

‐ She's trying to make me look like I'm pregnant. ‐ What did I just...

‐ I know. No. ‐ talk about outside?

‐ Tam, Tam, ‐ What do you not understand.

‐ She's trying to set me ‐ What did we just talk about

‐ before we came in here, huh? ‐ Excuse me?

Excuse me? [Crying]

It's Miss Austin, right?

Yes.

Miss Austin, I am Wilhelmina Hayworth.

I am the hospital Senior Administrator.

Loss is not an easy thing to go through.

Would you just?

Yeah.

Um please, would you take one of these?

[Instrumental Music]

You're kidding.

Tam, Tam!

Try to get her to go.

Bereavement?

Yeah. If not, I have a sample

of something that might help calm here down.

Okay.

All Right.

Thank you.

Well this sounds absurd. Why would we

use city funds to buy your church?

Greater Hope is the heartbeat of this town.

Fifty years ago this city was rural and barren and today

it's a thriving, respected community.

And Greater Hope played a huge part in that.

The members that joined the church, they settled down here.

Started families, opened businesses, built schools.

All this fueled the economy.

Cypress still reaps the benefits of that populous today.

So this has nothing to do with your own personal, financial bottom line?

Cause you know I've heard how these churches built

congregations out of millions of dollars, and

buy properties and cars and even planes.

Greater Hope puts people, not profit first.

The company that owns the church now wants to treat it like a commodity not a community.

That's why I'm here today.

Well your church has been in the papers more than a

once in the recent months and none of it was flattering to the city.

All which happened prior to this new company um,

Sterling Morris.

is taking ownership.

My father, may he rest.

The founder and pastor,

named it Greater Hope, because he wanted people to believe that

they could achieve a new beginning every time they walked through the door.

And since then we've established programs for the youth,

low‐income healthcare,

meal programs for the homeless.

‐ Programs that our constituents ‐ We can vote right now.

All in favor?

All opposed?

[Gaven bangs]

There you have it.

[Instrumental Music]

I agree with you about the city helping with the church.

Thanks for your support, Paulette.

Is there anything else I can do to convince the others?

Well,

I'm in the minority this term.

And you know Dudley's had it in for you ever since the election.

Convince him .

Sometimes the ends justify the means.

This city's a testament to that.

What's up young fella?

See what?

Hey, Rex.

[Laughter]

Thanks for coming through, man.

Good to see you in the daylight, boy.

‐ Yeah. ‐ I brought you a little something.

‐ Thank you, man ‐ Hey, ma

Come meet Rex.

The famous Rex.

Nice to meet you Miss Sheri.

Mm hm.

You got a great, young man, right here.

Yeah.

So glad to have my baby back.

[Laughter]

Better stay out this time.

Ma I told you, I'm good.

‐ Mm Hm ‐ He gonna be all right.

Look, I brought you a little something.

Oh.

Okay, thank you.

Can I make you a plate?

Ah in fact you can. I heard you make a real mean potato salad.

Uh huh.

And you came just in time, cause Shawn like to eat the whole thing by himself.

Ma I told you that food was bad inside.

Then why'd you come back bigger then when you went in?

[Laughter]

Yo, how'd that go with my man earlier?

Everything went real smooth.

Appreciate the hookup.

I'm having a hard time re‐upping my crew.

Volunteers are hard to find.

You understand?

Yeah, yeah.

Matter of fact, Profit, meet Rex.

What's up, O. G.?

Appreciate you stepping in on that project for me.

‐ Respect ‐ Yourself.

Listen, if you need any more men that's down, we got you.

Tss. Yeah, we got a neighborhood full of young and hungry soldiers

and they ready to put in work.

Great, great. I'm gonna take that in consideration.

Appreciate y'all, man.

And look here, I'm gonna get some of your mother's

potato salad, boy.

All right. Enjoy.

Miss Sheri.

[Papers rustling]

What are you doing here?

[Drawer closes]

Nothing. I um, I was just

replacing some files. I got a bit behind and

since no one was around, I was just getting caught up.

Mm hm.

So snooping is in your job description?

I'm an important part of this operation.

Huh.

Is that what you think?

[Suspenseful Music]

I know you were involved in the Medicaid scam with Christie,

and I never rolled over on you, but things could change.

[Screaming excitedly]

I used to bring you and E. J. to this park when you were children.

I know.

Oh sweetie. [Crying]

You are gonna make it through this.

I don't know how much more grief I can take, mom.

I feel like I'm being punished.

Oh baby.

You are not being punished.

Life is hard sometimes.

[Gasps]

But that's why we are a family of faith.

It's the glue that holds us together.

The one constant that remains the same.

You don't seem fine.

Are you upset about Levi?

No.

Are you worried about your career?

No.

Whe, Do you want me to guess?

No, mom. I'm fine.

[Instrumental Music]

Christie, look at me.

We don't lie to each other.

And baby I can see the pain that you're hiding.

And the fact that you haven't slept.

It's complicated.

‐ You wouldn't understand. ‐ Oh.

Oh I understand more than you know.

I experienced the same feeling

when I had to give up my Kendrick.

Loosing a baby is

it's not easy.

But you can't keep this bottled up inside.

Christie, it's not healthy.

You need to talk to me.

Ah,

[Footsteps approaching]

Mother, what are you doing here?

Well I wanted to check on my granddaughter.

Maybe we can talk later, mom.

I love you.

Don't defy me, again.

Christie,

Christie, wait!

[Instrumental music]

[Muffled Conversation]

Front desk said you checked out.

And my car is arriving any minute.

Nina, listen okay, you gotta believe me that

what happened was simply a tactic to destroy our deal.

Orchestrated by Ella and Rex Fisher.

They are scared of new blood running this town.

We can change that together.

In situations like these, I've learned to trust my gut.

And right now it's telling me this deal is dead.

I understand business instinct okay, but

sometimes the risk is worth the reward.

Why are you working so hard on this deal, Levi?

I've done my due diligence. You're not a small town guy.

So why are you trying to sell me hope in a jar?

I've done my homework on you too. And you're definitely not the kind of

person I want to double‐cross. This deal is a win‐win.

For both of us, I'm trying to win.

The reason our megachurch was able to grow and

expand is because we made decisions based on fact,

not emotions.

Now, you used to be that shark.

But somehow you've gone soft.

[Exhales] [Clears Throat]

I assure you,

there is nothing soft about me.

[Phone buzzing]

[Phone buzzing]

My car has just arrived.

It's a ah private car

with a partition.

Lead the way.

Dominos!

[Laughter]

Get ready, boy.

[Phone rings]

Yo.

‐ Every time, man. ‐ Give me a sec. Give me a sec.

Yeah.

Have you heard from Kendrick?

[Hip‐Hop music]

You know, you can pick up the phone and call and see how he's doing yourself.

I don't know what I would say.

How's the politicking for the city council votes going?

I've held meetings with almost every member of the opposition

and none of them will break from Dudley.

Ella May, are you ready to admit you need me?

[Inhales]

Can you promise no violence?

[Laughter]

I can promise you I'll do my best.

All right?

I'll talk to you later.

[Hip‐Hop Music]

Yo, yo,

Come outa that.

Look ah, I've gotten a little job for you.

I'm all in, O. G.

Me too. I'm ready to get back in the game.

[Police siren]

[Hip‐Hop Music]

I see you, boy.

[Laughter]

What's up, boy? I haven't seen you in years, man. How your family?

Everybody good?

Hey man, where's my gun?

♪ Know I'm too strong to ever take me down ♪

♪ Ever make me fall

Yo, yo. It's time to roll. Shut this down.

Where is my gun?

Where you been?

I've been six feet under.

What are you talking about?

Man, Lady Byrd tried to kill me.

Kill you?

That crazy old bitch tried to bury me alive.

Well how'd you get away? How you get here?

I don't know. I woke up in a motel room.

Now where's my gun?

Slow your roll. Slow your roll, all right?

Now I'm gonna handle Leona.

All right?

Yeah I hope you do.

[Opera music]

[Motorcycle engine]

Yo! Hey! Excuse me what, what you think you're doing?

[Motorcycle idling]

Good evening, Mr, Dudley.

Do I know you?

No.

But, eh, we have mutual friends.

Yo, I seriously doubt that, so if you will excuse me.

I got to get going.

Listen.

There's nobody around.

You got a moment to talk?

Don't you wanna hear from one of your constituents?

I doubt we're in the same district,

[Laughing]

but if that'll make you move then yeah, what can I do for you?

I need your help.

With what?

I need your vote.

It has something to do with Greater Hope, let me break it down to you...

Whoa, whoa, I get it. This is where you, eh

you talk to me really low and scary

and I, eh, piss my pants, huh.

Well that's eh, that's not gonna happen.

No one can buy my vote.

You tell Miss Ella, nice try.

Mr. Dudley,

see, you misunderstood.

I want your soul.

[Audio of a basketball game]

You must be real proud of your son.

Got a full scholarship. He's a real baller.

It'd be a shame if he disappeared, or

got his legs broke before he got a chance to play.

No.

I'll do whatever you want, just please

don't hurt my son, please.

I wont have to, if you do what you're suppose to.

See ya.

[Phone ringing]

‐ Hello. ‐ Hello, Josie eh.

Thank God, you answered, um

Whe, where are you?

Miles, why are you whispering?

Look I, I need to talk to you about Tamara.

Why, is she ok?

Wh, what did you do now?

I didn't do anything,

I'm just worried that she's cracking up.

What are you talking about?

Look, she's claiming that she never lost the baby in the car accident.

[Sighs] Well.

Well what?

Well, if you already know then there's no reason to lie anymore.

Tamara, was still pregnant after the car accident Miles.

She made me swear not to tell you.

What!

Wha, ha, how could you keep something like that from me?

Because that's my girl and she asked me to.

Do you have any proof?

Of what?

That Tam, was still pregnant after the car crash.

Other than her telling me? No.

So you never actually saw her pregnant after the crash?

Well, no but that's only because I've been here in New Orleans,

taking care of my dad.

But Tamara, told me everything over the phone.

Why would she have a reason to lie?

Because, I, I, I,

I'm worried she might be struggling

with a severe case of Postpartum depression.

What do you mean, by severe?

[Tamara making noise] No!

I mean I might have to take drastic measures.

[Noise and papers rustling]

‐ Tam! ‐ No.

Tam, what are you doing?

What's going on?

I have the original discharge papers from the hospital

somewhere around here, I just got to find them.

What papers?

The original discharge papers. They are here.

I have them, alright.

Just, could you help me look for them?

[Knocking]

[Sighs]

What are you doing here Jabari?

Checking on you.

Hmm.

Seriously.

I mean, I'm serious.

I know there's a lot been going on, you know with

the wedding and your job.

Oh that.

As you can see, I'm adjusting well.

And I know you better than that, you only show up

when you want something, so what is it?

Ok, yeah there is one thing.

Having an Angela problem at the church.

Hmm.

Well she is defiantly is good at starting problems.

Yeah, I need something to keep her in check.

I know y'all got a history, so.

Look in that drawer.

Whoa!

You trying to start a pharmacy, girl?

You think you need some help?

Just hand me the manilla envelope, Jabari.

[Drawer slamming]

What's this?

Angela's dirty little secrets.

[Scoffs]

We're adjourned.

[Gavel banging]

Congrats.

Thanks, for the vote, Mike.

Mayor Johnson, may I speak with you a moment?

What is it, detective?

I wanted to talk to you about your son, Kendrick.

Well, I'm not sure that's a conversation I wanna have.

Especially here.

I think you do.

What are you doing with Kendrick's phone?

I found it near a freshly dug grave for Debra Chase.

Now, I'm not a fan of coincidences Mayor Johnson,

especially when the clues keep leading back to your family.

With your record,

I'd be very careful not to get on my wrong side, detective.

‐ Is that a threat? ‐ No!

It's a fact.

And don't forget

I'm your superior.

Kendrick killed E. J..

Debra, dying the same night,

and now the phone.

They're all connected.

And I think you and your mother know how.

As always, wrong again.

We're done here.

I'm going to find out what happened,

Mayor Johnson, with or without you.

[Suspenseful Music]

I have some very exciting news about who is going to be part

of our entertainment for the 50th anniversary.

And then we're going have to discuss the catering menu....

What's going on in here?

Oh, well hello Levi, um

ladies if you would please excuse me.

[Instrumental Music]

Well, it's been rough lately but,

this should make us both happy.

[Paper rustling]

You think you can just give me a check and get what you want?

Levi, you don't want this church.

You just wanna get paid.

[Paper tearing]

You don't get it, do you?

This is personal.

You're never getting this church back.

[Christie] I have tried so many times.

Gotten my hopes up that,

this time is gonna be the one.

I can't help but think,

that I'm being punished for who I am.

For not being something my family wanted.

Makes me feel like a failure.

[Instrumental Music]

Can't believe you would be that careless and stupid.

Like it's my fault.

You got to pull yourself together,

if you expect to walk away from this.

I can do everything else perfect, except this.

The one thing every woman is suppose to be able to do.

And the one thing I want more than anything else.

Some days things get so bad I don't even wanna leave the house.

I'm just so tired of feeling this way.

[Soft Music]

I understand what you meant back there.

About feeling the need to be perfect all the time.

I feel that way too.

Thanks.

I wish I could claim it as strictly my own neuroses but

part of it comes from growing up a PK.

A preachers kid?

Yeah.

Most people don't even know what that means.

[Chuckles] Well I certainly know what it means.

Since I'm a preacher's kid and a preacher's grandkid.

Oh, ok you win. [Laughs]

Do I?

[Laughs]

Bethany Hall.

Christie.

Christie Johnson.

It's nice to meet you, Christie.

You too.

I wasn't expecting to make a friend here today.

Really?

Well, what were you expecting?

I don't know.

Someway to deal with the pain, I guess.

Yeah, me too.

It's nice to have someone who understands.

If you ever need to talk.

Just give me a call.

You really should keep coming back.

It really does get easier.

I hope so.

[Tamara] I had them.

They gave, they gave me, they gave me the discharge papers

I, I remember cause I, I went to the store.

Where were they? Was it, I,

I looked in those drawers, I looked, I didn't look in the closet.

I didn't look in the closet, if, if, if, if, if....

No, cause then I went

I went to to the store.

[Tamara mumbling]

I gotta find these papers, I don't understand.

They should, they should have this on file right?

‐ They have it, I gotta, I gotta.... ‐ Come on Tam, Tam.

Tam, come on, it's time, it's time to take a break, okay?

No, I have to find these papers.

‐ Miles, I have to find those first. ‐ Listen, listen, listen to me.

We will find them.

Okay, taking a quick break is not going to change that.

Here.

Drink this, take this. ‐ Okay, okay.

All right.

Here, I don't wanna....

[Exhales]

‐ We're gonna find 'em? ‐ Yes.

[Crying] Did you look in the kitchen?

Tam.

[Instrumental Music]

Are you crazy coming here?

[Laughs]

You know Leona, you gotta be more careful.

Mmm.

The bodies are stacking up.

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

How'd you get that mud on your shoes the other night, Leona?

Hmm umm.

You know I hate to admit it,

but you gangsta as hell.

You'll do anything you can to cover your tracks.

Including burying your own blood.

What are you doing, spying on me?

No, you doing it to yourself.

What foolishness are you talking now?

See you forgot something, Leona.

Real O. G. s never leave a trace.

But you know what, works out better for me.

I've got something I've always wanted.

And what is that?

Leverage.

[Both laughing]

Ella, will never believe you.

Yeah, well we'll see about that.

[Instrumental Music]

I bet she'll believe me, if she hears it from the horse's mouth.

‐ What? ‐ Yeah.

Kendrick's alive and kicking.

Looking to bond with his momma.

And I've already seen Ella get a taste of revenge and

it melted in her mouth.

How you gonna feel, when she finds out

what kinda monster you really are?

You think she'd care more about what happened to that thug,

or what happened to her own father?

You ready to take that risk, Leona?

[Chuckles] Try me.

[Dramatic Music]

There it is.

[Phone ringing]

[Hip‐Hop Music]

Yo,

say less.

Yo, that was Rex.

And what'd he say?

Kill that bitch.

[Laughing] ‐ Get outta here. ‐ Ja!

‐ Hey cuz. ‐ What's going on bud?

[Laughing]

Hey, you work at that church, right?

‐ Yeah. ‐ I thought I saw you there the other day.

Let these two get acquainted, grab those beers for me real quick.

Yes, sir.

I'll be in here babe.

‐ Mm hm. You mind giving me a hand? ‐ Yeah, absolutely.

Okay, Come on.

Yeah, I wanted to speak the other day but,

I was in such a hurry I didn't get a chance...

Too busy eavesdropping?

‐ Excuse me? ‐ No.

I won't excuse you.

Yeah, I know your type.

You worked the stroll, and the pole back in the day.

Yeah.

[Laughing]

You're late,

that cat's already out the bag.

Well, that cat's been very busy, huh.

I know you scooped Levi, right after Christie.

Uncle Ray Ray,

he taught you well, hmm.

Yeah.

Weren't you Uncle Ray Ray's girls?

Ooh.

Yeah, I already asked about you.

Check this out.

What's this?

That is the next chapter in our empire, man.

‐ UpSurge. ‐ Yeah.

You still got that scar on the back of head

He gave you, huh?

I bet you thanking

God, Pastor Johnson got you outta that life

and in his little church.

You know I remember their stock was on the rise when I was on the trading floor.

They looking to move headquarters and I think Cypress is the spot.

This could be huge.

Well if they want to buy property, we got properties to sell.

It's a perfect fit.

You know this, this could be real money, cuz.

Company like this could change the whole landscape of Cypress.

Yeah, and we'd be at the top of the food chain man, so

[Exhales] What do you say?

I say yes.

But what would happen if Ray Ray,

found out where you are?

What do you want?

Forget about Jabari.

Yeah.

Or, are we getting him Uncle Ray Ray?

That's just a phone call away.

‐ Hey guys. ‐ Hey.

Thank you.

[Suspenseful Music]

What's the matter?

You look like you saw a ghost.

[Knocking]

May I help you?

Detective St. Charles with the Cypress Police Department.

I need to speak to Mrs. Leona Byrd about police matter.

Well, Mrs. Byrd is indisposed at the moment.

You thought you could bury me.

Now I'm here to bury you.

I'm wanna shoot you so bad,

but a bullet ain't quick enough.

You deserve a harsher death, like something you tried to do to me.

You don't have the guts.

Please have her call me when she's available.

I really need to ask her some questions about some....

Shut up! All you ever did was ruin lives.

Now, I'm ready to ruin yours.

Police, drop the gun.

‐ Drop it. Drop it. ‐ Please, please help me.

‐ Shut up! ‐ You don't wanna do this.

This don't got nothing to do with you, man.

You don't understand. This lady is evil.

Maybe so, but put down the gun and we can talk about it.

‐ I can't do that. ‐ Why?

Please don't let him take me away from my family.

Ah!

Put the gun down! [Gunshot]

[Gunshot] [Crying]

[Heavy breathing]

Detective St. Charles,

shots fired. Suspect on the run.

I need an arrest warrant for Kendrick Murphy,

for attempted murder.

[Dramatic Music]

On the next Saints & Sinners...

I don't know what type of secrets you and Leona got between you

but you need to leave me out of it.

I'd like you to meet my new friend, Mr. Malik Thompson.

Kendrick's got a target on his back.

After this UpSurge deal closes,

I don't have any real reason to stay here in Cypress.

I'm worried about you.

I mean the medication, the medical administrator says there's side effects.

That's actually what I'd like to talk to you about.

Hubris has taken down many a man.

And many times that take down,

is by a woman.

Get on the winning team.

[Instrumental Music]

Oh I am.

Mine.
