Previously on Saints and Sinners

Did you, kill Sheri Tucker?

Do you actually think that I could kill someone?

Pastor Daniel Byrd's Journals

That's probably the only way we're gonna get the truth.

An eye for an eye

It should have never come to this

Oh my god.

You got your church back.

You should be happy

Cypress is changing, a lot of people would love to see you

It would take an act of God to get me back to that town.

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

Yeah just those there, and then the next round

you just stick 'em in that corner, okay?

Thank you, guys.

Alright, what else?

[Background shuffling] Move those over there I guess.

Hey, girl.

[Gasps] Hey! Oh my goodness!

Hi, girl.

Oah, it has been too long.

Uh...

you did not have to bring anything.

Girl, what kind of girl would I be if I didn't bring you a housewarming gift?

? Mm hm. ? And...

you had some mail already.

Great.

I didn't know how long it would take to forward to my new place.

Oh, girl!

The parties we are gonna have in here.

? [Laughter] ? Mimosas by the pool,

champagne at night.

[Laughter] We gonna get down.

Okay.

Sighs....

um, that's creepy.

Who's it from?

I don't know. It looks like it was hand delivered.

Is that the woman from the church fire?

Sheri Tucker,

yeah.

Oh.

Cause of death,

smoke inhalation due to fire.

Hmm.

Hmm.

[Ominous Music]

No soot.

What's that mean?

It means no smoke inhalation.

The autopsy and the death certificate don't match.

[Dramatic Music]

Your mom got bodies. She killed Sheri Tucker too.

[Dramatic Music]

Your decision making left the vault vulnerable.

As I mentioned already, my priority was protecting

the casino patrons and the cash on the floor.

And yet those choices left two dead and the money stolen.

And I will carry that with me.

We've been unable to find the security footage among

Paul Miller's belongings.

Have you checked his office?

Yes, and his coworkers were unaware that the security footage was in his possession.

I promise you that I gave him all of the files and I

I trusted that he would maintain it's integrity and record.

Well we will continue to search but unfortunately with his

passing, we can only assume that the files are gone.

I know. I was very sorry to hear about that. It's

never easy loosing another fellow public servant.

Sheri Tucker was the petitioner for your mother's recall.

[Suspenseful Music]

Puncture wound near her neck.

It pierced an artery.

Was that woman stabbed?

We can't assume that.

Mmm...

someone did.

Eh it could've been anything that caused that puncture.

It probably happened after her death.

You don't really believe that,

do you?

Thank you for your cooperation, Mayor Johnson.

Of course. We all have to do our part in the pursuit of justice.

Did you sent this?

I did.

Why?

Because it proves what you already know.

Your mother is a cold?blooded killer.

[Theme Music]

? Go on, lift your hands, give God the praise ?

? I fell so hard

? Hey

? Lost my faith in God

? Hey ? I couldn't even pray

? Hey ? so I say

? We're just sinners

? Saved by grace

I'm sorry to cut our visit short.

If you need me, you know I'm here for you.

Thank you, girl.

Levi, where'd you get this?

In a package from Detective St. Charles.

St. Charles? Why would he send this to you?

Looks like he wanted an insurance policy to me.

For what?

He shot himself.

You still believe that?

Look at all this.

Take the blinders off.

[Instrumental Music]

Do you actually think that I could kill someone?

? You think my mother killed St. Charles? ? Look at....

...the evidence, Christie!

Hey Christie, is this mom's?

I saw this exact same thing layin' on the floor.

Come on now, Levi. My mom's a monster?

Is there anything else up your sleeve? Anybody else in the ground

because of my mother?

? I don't know. ? Anybody else?

? I don't know. ? Who else?!

Your mother

made the call that got my wife killed.

? Who else, Levi? Who else? ? I don't, Christie, I don't...I don't know.

? Who else? ? I don't know.

[Christie sobbing]

[Ominous Music]

[Knocking]

Who is it?

It's Malik.

I just wanna talk about what you saw.

Open the door, Angela.

[Suspenseful Music]

[Door shuts]

That was Paige in that room.

Yes.

When I walked in you were??

About to make the biggest mistake of my life but you stopped me.

[Instrumental Music]

When I found out that Jabari killed our mother,

it broke me.

And I wanted to break him.

But you stopped me from crossin' that line.

[Ominous Music]

So Paige is still???

She's basically recovered now.

I'm gonna reunite her and Jabari tonight.

[Phone ringing]

Yeah.

An emergency board meeting?

Dammit.

[Sighs] Okay.

Jabari and Paige owe you one.

[Door shuts]

[Deep exhale]

Huh.

Oah.

[Both moan]

[Both sigh]

[Josie breaths heavily]

We have to tell Tam.

[Josie exhales]

Wow. [Scoffs]

Where did that come from?

[Sighs] I feel guilty.

Yeah, so do I...

if you thinkin' about Tam while I'm puttin' in work.

Uh, I'm serious.

Look...I just feel

horrible lyin' to her.

Look, Tam made it perfectly clear.

She's happy with

red?boned Richie Rich.

Why shouldn't we be...hmm?

It's one thing to move on, but

to move on with me?

It's shady.

Mmm...you think we're being shady?

[Josie sighs]

I just...don't wanna ruin my friendship with her.

Especially...

[Sentimental Instrumental Music]

Especially what?

Especially if this is just a rebound.

Josie,

my marriage with Tam is over, okay.

I fought for it probably longer than I should have.

But we're movin' on.

I'm exactly where I want to be.

[Josie sighs]

[Josie moans]

[Kissing]

[Overlapping conversations]

Hello, everyone.

Well good, we can finally get started.

It has been brought to my attention that my brother Malik,

has purchased a property

using his own money,

and is funneling UpSurge funds through said property

to use it as a tax shelter,

[Dramatic Music]

which of course is a felony.

? What property? ? [Felicia] Jabari, please....

I have the floor.

Now in a effort to protect UpSurge,

I'm obligated to report Malik to the FBI.

But I'm hoping that through our transparency,

UpSurge will come through this unscathed.

Malik of course, will have to step down as CEO.

My hope is that my brother will avoid a prison sentence.

But in the meantime,

I am ready to step into the role of CEO

and handle any required duties,

effective immediately.

And I'm sure that you have proof of

my wrongdoings?

[Felicia chuckles]

Please pull up the financial transactions from last week.

Thank you.

You will see that UpSurge

should level out at about $700 million.

However, due to the laundering of funds, we're just short of $530 million.

You'll see the difference

is going into the church property

in multiple installments

by way of Malik's corporate log?in.

I'm confused.

It won't be the first time.

Okay. If Malik supposedly stole 170 million dollars from

UpSurge's accounts then

why are our accounts up north of $700 million?

Learn to read. [Laughter]

Really, it's ridiculous

Did you see the thing right?

That's not possible.

Felicia, what's happening here?

He laundered that money. I saw the transactions myself.

That church...

is your obsession.

And I've given everyone here a copy of the deed with your name on it.

That's an old deed, Felicia.

[Clears throat]

Who the hell are you?

Levi Sterling.

[Chokes]

proud owner of New Hope Baptist Church,

but I'm a little more partial to the

original name, Greater Hope.

Oh, this is absurd!

No, what's absurd Felicia, is you wastin' the board's time.

Don't you see what he's doing?

He moved the money back.

I am so sorry you all had to witness this.

? Felicia, I think it's time for you to take a step back. ? Yeah.

A vacation might do you some good.

I'm thinkin' more of a permanent leave.

Oh no, I'm not going anywhere.

Are you guys buying this?

This, he's gonna ruin this company

And you idiots are giving him the shovel.

I think we've heard enough, Felicia.

I'd like to vote to remove Felicia as CFO,

effective immediately.

All in favor?

[Instrumental Synth Music]

It's been decided.

You can pack up your office, Felicia.

Better yet, don't.

? We'll ship your things to you. ? [Background cough]

You're all gonna regret this,

especially you, Malik.

Bye, Felicia!

[Dramatic Music]

I'm glad we finally got to do some business.

Well.

You made it easy.

And those shares of UpSurge certainly made the transaction worthwhile.

[Chuckles] Yeah well, I need to make sure you said yes.

[Levi chuckles]

How did you figure that whole thing out anyway?

The thing with your sister?

[Sighs]

She never does anything out of the kindness of her heart.

There he is. Come on in. Have a drink with us.

[Soft Instrumental Music]

Listen Jabari, a

I'm sorry the way things went down the last time we saw each other.

Yeah, well...

I'm sorry about what happened to you to.

Eh, it's not like you had anything to do with it...right?

[Instrumental Music]

[Phone buzzing]

Gentlemen, I have to take this.

Hey man, it looks like a

you saved the day.

Ah, I took a deal.

Just business.

Never personal, right?

Yeah, I didn't forget.

I deserve that.

I left you in a bind.

I'm back and I wanna help make that right.

Jabari...

we good?

Yeah.

Past is the past, right?

[Knocking]

My man.

Hey, pop.

Good to see you, son.

You alright?

Good, man.

Here, I brought you a little somethin' somethin'.

[Sighs] It's pretty early,

but I'm excited. [Laughter]

That kid is gonna be real lucky to have you as a dad.

It took me a long time to um

[Instrumental Music]

Look...son,

you lean on me, you hear me?

I know one thing for sure, you gonna make a damn good grandad.

That right there,

that's the first thing that kid ain't gonna do, is call me grandad.

Man, you so crazy.

? [Laughter] ? It's all good.

[Suspenseful Music]

Yeah.

So the a priest then says to the nun,

I'm sorry sister, I didn't know you were Catholic.

[Collective laughter]

Senator, a moment.

Mayor Johnson.

Excuse me everyone, this won't take long.

Excuse me.

You know something? This is very inappropriate??

And so is your giving me the run around.

The FBI has cleared me of any wrongdoings in the casino robbery.

Look, I'm ready to move forward.

You are not moving forward. That casino thing

was a disaster, Ella.

I can't be blamed for a robbery.

You're not hearing me, Ella.

The casino proposal was an opportunity to make or break you,

And you have been broken. You are broke down.

You are through, Ella. And I have to endorse a candidate who brings

less baggage to the table than you.

? Baggage? ? Yes.

Like the little love?child that you recently shipped off to Alabama.

? How did you know? ? Yeah, I do my research.

I play the long game, and there's something you should know about me, Senator.

I play for keeps, and I'm far from through,

and I will be takin' your Senate seat

with or without your support.

Enjoy your lunch, everybody.

You too.

[Instrumental Music]

Sorry about that.

[Birds chirping]

[Suspenseful Music]

Hey, Mama.

It's been a long time.

To tell you the truth, I never imagined I'd be back here.

I...

I worked so hard

to make sure I never ended up like you.

And yet, here I am.

[Choking up] Everything I worked for,

taken away.

Discarded.

No one cares.

Even Ella.

She never appreciated the sacrifices I made for her.

Our lives couldn't been a repeat of my childhood

Working in other people's homes for pennies.

doing whatever I needed to survive.

[Suspenseful Music]

I needed to make adult choices when I was a child,

because you left me alone.

So I picked myself up off of those streets

and did what I had to do.

And I must do it again.

[Phone chimes]

[Sniffles]

[Sighs]

I'm just checkin' to see if you're still good to hang tonight.

Oh yeah, Ah oh no, you know what?

I'm a need a raincheck, okay? Cause Malik said he needs to talk to me

before he leaves town tonight.

[Dramatic Music]

Is that cool?

[Suspenseful Music]

Angela?

[Labored breathing]

Hello, Angela?

Aaah!

Angela?

[Tumbling]

Angela?

[Dramatic Music]

This is absurd. You didn't even call her.

Ma'am as I told you, she's not here.

Get Malik Thompson on the phone.

I'm sorry, he left for the day.

Oh for heaven's sake.

Well it was great meeting you.

I look forward to our lunch this week.

Hmm.

Well, well, well.

Mr. Levi.

Ella, this is the last place I figured I'd bump into you.

Well I have business with the Thompson family.

She's looking for Felicia.

Mmm...

looks like you'll be waiting a long time to talk UpSurge business with Felicia.

It's about the church.

Well, you're in the right place.

I'm now the owner of New Hope.

[Scoffs] You've gotta be kidding me.

Just took it over.

Well,

congratulations, Levi.

I look forward to doing business with you...

again.

The pleasure's all mine.

Alright.

[Rex laughing]

My man.

My man. [Chuckles]

Well well well,

the king has finally returned to his castle.

[Hip?hop Music] ? Remember my name

? Real funny ? this is real life. I ain't

? impressed by my fame

? roll the dice of life

Ah, you know?

I gotta say,

you and Felicia teamin' up?

I didn't see that comin'. ? sometimes I had to black out ?

but I applaud you for your tenacity. ? special stack helps

Let me tell you somethin', Malik. ? Somedays I pray...stacks out

? Sometimes I'm annoyed like I know the fuzz is watchin' ?

I always get back what's mine.

? nutin' aren't stoppin me. Ah ?

And I always remember who took it from me.

You got that?

I got that.

Hang in there.

[Laughter]

[Christie] Our mother is not who we think she is.

What are you talkin' about?

It's all there. Crimes she committed.

Murders, Kendrick. Multiple murder, okay?

[Scoffs] This means nothing, Christie.

It looks like somebody just tryin' to put some pieces together.

Ah have you even talked to mom?

I believe our mother killed those people.

You mentioned a feather at St. Charles, right?

The day we were cleaning out mom's for the estate sale.

? Mm hm. ? You mentioned it when you saw the jacket.

Right, but remember you said that was Leona's.

What if I was wrong?

What if it was mom's?

Dammit.

I think that jacket was sold.

[Sighs]

Listen, there was somethin' else at St. Charles' place.

Kendrick?

[Sighs]

Open the drawer, check my jacket.

[Drawer shuts]

Now I don't know if it's still in there,

you know with this accident and all but...

[Christie exhales]

[Instrumental Music]

[Phone chiming]

[Chuckles] Hi.

No, I was just getting ready to pack but then then I thought

well I don't really need to pack anything. I don't really see a reason for us to leave

our hotel room.

[Malik] There is one thing you might need.

It's out back.

[Door creaks]

What did, what did you do?

What is this?

Just listen.

When I came to Cypress, all I wanted to do

was hurt everybody who hurt me and my mother.

I carried that rage and that anger

around inside of me until it just hardened me.

But then I met you,

a beautiful woman so full of life,

that you made everything better.

brighter,

[Exhales]

I'm not gonna lie.

It's been tough these last few days loosin' my mother,

but it's made me realize that I don't want to go another day without you.

Life is short.

It's messy,

but it's perfect wit chu in it.

So when you asked me what you should pack,

all I want you to pack is that white dress.

[Instrumental Music]

Tamara,

What?

Will you marry me?

? Tamara? ? Ah...yes.

? It's a yes? ? Yes.

Yes, yes, yeh??

[Dramatic Music]

[Shallow breathing] What the hell?

Ooh, let me help you with that.

We wouldn't want to be interrupted.

What do you want, Leona?

I heard you have something that belongs to me.

And I'm here to collect.

The journals.

Mmm...

my husband loved

to hear himself talk, and he loved writing in those damn things.

I always told him, "say it, forget it,

write it, regret it."

? [Sighs] ? I think you're the one who got the regrets.

Do I?

Preaching your morals up on your pedestal.

You're so two?faced.

You got knocked up before you were even married.

You probably don't even know who the daddy is.

You got the nerve to try to make me feel like trash.

And you need to look yourself in the mirror.

You have no idea

what the truth is.

No?

It's in print.

Straight from Daniel Byrd.

Well, Daniel was never the most accurate storyteller.

And he never knew my real truth.

[Indistinct]

[Moaning]

? Oah! ? Take a deep breath and push.

Is the baby???

[Baby cries]

Mama, no!

Please, please don't leave me.

[Crying continues]

[Instrumental Music]

[Nurse] It's a girl.

[Dramatic Music]

Where are the journals, Kendrick?

Rex was right.

He knew you'd come.

So Rex has the journals?

Let's just say they're someplace safe.

I sacrificed

everything

to give Ella the life I never had.

[Instrumental Music]

And do you know what she did to repay me?

She got knocked up with you.

[Dramatic Music] And by my lover.

It's practically biblical. [Laughs]

You ask me...

why?

I hated you so much.

Well now you know the truth.

You

are the greatest betrayal I've ever known.

[Instrumental Music]

And I should've killed you the day you were born.

[Dramatic Music] [Phone ringing]

Bro.

I'm just gettin' into the office. I'll be right up.

Oh I'm not there. I'm at the hospital, man.

You okay?

Yeah yeah yeah. Ah it's not me, it's [Machine beeping]

[Sighs] a long story, man. A...

I'll fill you in later.

Alright well, I wanted to tell you in person, and its not somethin' that can wait.

And I'm goin' out of town so?? [Beeping turns to constant tone]

Hey bro, hey bro, a I'll call you back.

[Dramatic Music]

Go away.

What the hell are you doin' in here?

You finally did it.

You got me kicked out a my own company.

? Proud of yourself? ? Look at you!

What would dad say?

Oh hell, no!

You don't get to go back and forth!

You've chosen...

those psycho ward hood rats.

That's your family.

I didn't come here for this.

You know what's funny? [Chuckles]

The funny part...

is I never even wanted a baby brother.

Cause you don't like to share.

You and I both know

I should be runnin' this company.

I went to the best schools,

I got the best grades,

[Glass rests]

None of it was good enough.

You had issues.

Of course I did.

I was never good enough.

I was his real daughter.

Why'd he have to go and get you?

Like a dog...

from the pound.

His little golden boy.

Please just stop this.

I'm a call you a car service.

[Slurring] Thank you.

Thank you for your courtesy.

That's nice.

Just stop, Felicia.

[Tense Music]

Can I tell you somethin'?

Just when you think you have it all,

I'll be there to snatch it all away.

I promise you that.

You need to sleep this off.

I'll call the rehab facility back in California.

I'll see if they can get you in.

Malik,

Malik, wait.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Felicia.

I just...

I just wanted to tell you, congratulations.

Congratulations.

You're sick, Felicia.

[Felicia laughs]

? You should see your face. ? Get yourself some help.

[Laughter turns to sobbing]

[Knocking]

Hey.

Hey.

What's goin' on? Ah Austin is asleep,

? but I can wake him up if you?? ? Oh no no no no.

You don't have to wake him up. I just um

wanted to talk to you before I left for my trip.

Okay. um...

good because I um

wanted to tell you something.

Okay, can I go first?

Okay, yeah.

Um,

Malik proposed.

And with our divorce going through,

I said. yes.

You didn't waste no time.

I'm not expecting your blessing, I didn't come to ask for it but

I just wanted to tell you.

Miles, I don't regret marrying you.

I don't regret loving you. I love you.

I will always love you but I am

I'm happy, [Laughs] so genuinely happy.

I really want the same thing for you.

[Taps hands] That was it.

What'dj what'dju wanna tell me?

Ah...

just ah a...

have a great trip, yeah.

Okay.

Tam,

[Instrumental Music]

I love you too.

Bye.

Just send me a driver as quickly as you can, please.

Thank you.

Everything okay?

It will be.

You bring everything I asked for?

Thanks for comin' out so late.

Not the first time.

[Instrumental Music]

[Sighs]

Are you absolutely sure you wanna do this?

Yes, I am.

Tamara needs to know exactly

how serious I am about her and our future together.

There's something I gotta tell you.

What's up?

I'm pregnant.

That's great news.

It's yours.

[Dramatic Music]

[Instrumental Music]

[Sighs]

[Glass rests]

Okay, okay.

[Sighs]

What the hell are you doin' here?

[Moans]

[Sighs]

[Gasps]

Christie, baby you scared me half to death.

That's better than some can say.

Look Christie, I'm exhausted,

? ...and I don't have time to play games. ? You're a murderer!

Sheri, Paige, why?!

We've already been over this.

I know you killed St. Charles.

? What are you talkin' about? ? Kendrick saw his body.

Did you know that?

He went to his house and he found this.

[Instrumental Music]

Yeah, it's a match for your gun. I already checked.

That's what you lookin' for, right?

Why did you kill those people?

Was it for money, power, why?!

You don't know what you're talkin' about.

You are just like Leona.

Look around, Christie.

Yeah, take a look. We're the only ones left.

My father, your father, E. J.,

they're all gone.

But we're still here, and you want to know why? Because we survive!

We do what it takes.

I am nothing like you!

? Oh you just...you are just like me! ? Oh my God. Let go.

I did it to survive.

They were gonna take everything I had.

I had to do it. You're just like me!

What are you gonna do, Mom?!

Kill me too, Mom?!

What? You wanna kill me too?!

Really?!

[Christie panting]

You've lost everything!

Everything!

[Labored breathing]

[Christie sobs]

[Instrumental Music]

[Ella's voice] We are still here, and you wanna know why?...

because we survive.

We do what it takes!

[Loud wheels rolling]

? You can run for a long time

? Sooner or later God's gonna cut you down ?

[Deep sigh]

I have somethin' I wanna report.

? Go and tell that midnight rid

I was supposed to see my husband tonight.

I don't know anything about that.

Can you get me a phone?

I'm sorry, that's not authorized.

What do you mean, not authorized?

Excuse me?

Whe...I wanna see my husband!

Please!

[Door opens]

Where did you go?

Just out for a jog.

[Instrumental Music]

[Moaning]

[Baby crying]

[Instrumental Music]

[Door creaks]

[Frog croaks] ? [Gasps

Oh!

What the hell is that?

Oah.

[Frog croaks]

[Suspenseful Music]

[Bag rattling]

Oah oah oah!

Oh. Oh, no. Oh.

Huh, oh no. Oh God, no.

[Frogs croaking]

["Kiss the Sky" by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra]

[Police sirens wail]

Oh no, no.
