[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Music continues ]

Hm.

Twelve-thirty. You're right on time.

Why wouldn't I be?

Oh. For you.

Thank you.

Mm.

I didn't think you'd come.

Why not?

Lunch is ready in the kitchen.

Shall we?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Ah. Good morning, Mr. Sanders.

Trevor, I know this is only your first week,

but I insist that you call me Cameron.

I still think I'm in my 30s.

Okay, Mr. Sanders -- I mean Cameron.

Uh, your coffee is on the table,

and also Mr. Adebayo is here to see you.

He's here from Nigeria. He came straight here, he said.

Five minutes. Send him in.

PAMELA: I asked everyone to leave,

so now it's just us.

Why now?

I thought it would be about time, because at first,

I thought you would come and go gracefully just like the others.

But I can see clearly now -- You're one of the sticky ones.

He loves me.

I looked into you.

You have an MBA from Wharton,

and you're a cunning and ambitious little thing.

You married a man 84 years old,

a rich Louisiana sugarcane farmer,

for three years.

And then two years into the marriage,

the poor old man died.

What a shame.

You then took half and spent it all with your new lover,

an aspiring young rap artist half your age,

six-pack abs but not packing a lot of smarts.

And then he left your pretty little ass broke and alone.

Are you done?

Then you come to Los Angeles,

and you swing your hips all around my husband's bank

until you get in.

Do you think I don't understand?

Do you think you're the first?

And the legacy that this family has built

is far bigger than my feelings.

Do you understand?

So in that case, I look the other way.

But don't you think for one second that I don't see,

because I see very clearly.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Telephone ringing ]

Ah. Mr. Adebayo.

It's great to see you again.

Please have a seat.

It was a long flight from Lagos.

If you don't mind, I will stand on my feet.

Well, I don't know how many of these you had on your flight,

uh, but...

[ Both chuckle ]

Just keep them coming, my friend.

Keep them coming.

Yeah.

Um, you've come to America

only a handful of times in the last 15 years.

Always a problem. Pop said.

Your father -- How is he doing?

He's still stubborn.

He's just getting used to the slower life.

Your father was tough as nails. Tough as nails.

For 20 years, we worked together,

and I never won a negotiation over him.

Well, at least you had the privilege.

But you -- You are not your father.

Not by a long shot.

PAMELA: Oh, it's time, honey.

Mm-hmm. It's time.

I know it's good.

I know the money's good.

But now I see you.

So when I turn my head back towards my husband...

...I want you gone.

Well, thank you for the steak and the hospitality,

but I really need to be going.

You have a beautiful home.

Especially the master bedroom.

[ Fork clatters ]

[ Coughing, grunting ]

[ Coughing stops ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Knock his whole will out

I told him to chill out

Ready for sea white and sea dollar

Took it the hell out, yeah

You are now partaking the view of a millionaire in the makin'

A few of them niggas out there are hatin'

The rest of them fakin'

Got to stay away from them dudes

My team, my squad

My fam, my clique

My bread, my cuh

My blood

My bitch, she rich

She slick

Everywhere I go, I'm true

True, true

True, true

True, true

CAM: Next time y'all come,

you need to bring the other girl, the freak.

Shit's getting kind of boring.

The freak?

Hey, matter of fact, just go ahead and get out.

-What? -Hmm?

Out.

I want you to get the fuck off the boat.

Yo, why you always got to be such an asshole, Cam?

'Cause I can.

All right. But are you still coming to the party later on?

Bitch.

Glad you asked. Here.

What?

-Out. -Are you serious?

Get out.

Okay. Fine. I'm leaving.

But text me later, okay?

Here's how this is gonna happen.

If I call you, I call you. If I don't, I don't.

And don't FaceTime me unannounced anymore, all right?

I'm sorry, Cammy.

Girl, stop being so thirsty. Let's get the fuck out of here.

I'd rather fuck with a broke motherfucker

who gonna treat me with respect.

Get out.

My cuh

My blood

But somehow, you never do.

She rich, she slick

Everywhere I go, I'm true

True, true

True, true

True, true

True, true

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I wish we could just hide out here from the world forever.

[ Chuckles ]

Issue is, the world will come looking for us.

Mm.

Well, maybe we can just hide out here from the world

for a little while.

There's only two things I love most in this world,

and that's these horses and Mr. Raymond James.

[ Chuckles ]

-Mm. -Mm.

As long as I work for your father,

I'm not allowed to say, "I love you too."

-That's what I'm talking about. -What?

That's why I get so frustrated with you.

What are you talking about?

Why can't you tell me how you feel?

I'm constantly pouring out my guts to you.

This relationship is really starting to feel

very one-sided, Raymond.

Look, you know my situation.

Plus, if your father finds out about this,

I could lose my job.

I don't have no trust fund like you and your brothers.

I'm a normal person.

Not to mention the other things I could stand to lose.

Hey, we have a deal.

-What is it? -I know.

-What is it? Say it. -Okay.

We wouldn't talk about her when we are together.

-Then why am I hearing it? -I'm not.

Then why aren't you kissing me?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

-BRITTANY: Miss Stephanie! -[ Clears throat ]

-Miss Stephanie! -What do you want, missy?

BRITTANY: I'm so sorry to interrupt.

You got to get out to the main house right away.

He said right away, Miss Stephanie.

[ Music continues ]

ADEBAYO: I told your father long ago

you are too soft, too privileged,

too...too spoiled.

You Africans are never ones to be humble.

Perhaps if your ancestors had never been enslaved,

you would not be so humble yourself.

Let me remind you, Mr. Adebayo, you're in my office.

The silver spoon in your mouth is softening your brain.

I-I need to speak to your father.

I'm running the Sanders family business from here on in

with Pop's blessings.

I am responsible for everything that goes on from here on out.

Me -- Mr. Softy.

If you had any other experience other than playing polo

at your father's country club,

you would know that these things will never be okay -- never.

I need to see your father before I leave at noon tomorrow.

Noon or all debts are off.

Is that a threat?

[ Chuckles ]

As you say,

you will be responsible for everything that happens.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Sir, your daughter's on the phone.

It's about your wife. You need to take it immediately.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sanders, you really are gonna practice free throws

for two hours after practice every day?

It can come down to one of these in a championship game, Coach.

-[ Chuckles ] -You never know.

If I only had more players with that same kind of work ethic.

I come from a long line of hard workers, Coach.

Ah. I'm not disputing that.

-But the scouts from USC? -Mm-hmm.

Gonna be here at the next game.

-Ooh! Okay. -That's right.

Don't get ahead of ourselves.

-We got a long season ahead. -True.

Let's give them something to scout, then, Coach.

All right.

When Jesus is my portion

A constant friend is he

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know

He watches me

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know

He watches me

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

Now, look.

I know we all had a lot to say during the services.

I know we shared some touching moments.

This is a wonderful going-away

of a great woman of God, Pamela Sanders.

I just want to say a few more words to let you know

how strong this family is.

And what this family has

is a foundation that cannot be shaken.

This family, the direct descendants

of a wonderful and amazing and historical lady,

a force of nature, Letty Sanders.

It's worth noting that in 1853, she was sent to California

by her Mormon masters as a slave.

A slave. You hear me?

It just so happens that the masters didn't realize

that once she crossed that California state line --

Oh, Lord.

When she crossed that California line,

she was a free black woman.

She was no longer in bondage.

Do you understand me?

She became the richest black woman in California --

millions of dollars, real estate.

She owned beauty salons.

She even owned a piece of a bank -- Birthright Bank.

So, you see, this family comes from strength.

And just like Letty Sanders,

it was her right, her birthright, to be free.

And these boys and this young lady will be free.

-MAN: Amen. -Free from sadness.

And they will know that the promises our God maketh

are yea and amen.

Come on, somebody.

WOMAN: Amen.

Ladies and gentlemen, Letty Sanders knew

while in bondage, in slavery, that there was a better place.

That's right.

I would like to just encourage this family.

And I know

He watches me

I sing because I'm happy

I sing because I'm free

His eye is on the sparrow

And I know

He watches me

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

NEMIS: Oh. We got some guests coming.

BARNES: When I go out,

I'd like to go out just like this -- in style.

Well...when you got to go... you got to go.

Yeah, but when we both go,

it'll be in a plain old regular box.

-Speak for yourself. -Yeah.

We'll see how things go when they feel the wrath of the SEC.

Ooh. The wrath, huh?

You been listening to the preacher a little too long.

Hey, man.

Ain't nothing wrong with a good coming-to-Jesus moment.

Hallelujah.

CAMERON: You're our heart and soul, Junior.

Let's talk.

Man...I already know what you're gonna say,

and I don't think there's any words

that could console me right now.

I mean, I don't even know what I'm gonna say myself --

or to myself.

I mean, it's like waiting for the alarm clock to go off

and I'm gonna wake up and... this is all a -- a nightmare.

I just wish I would've been there more.

I wish I would've known how much time she really had left.

I wish I could've... been more involved.

I know you guys were busy with the house and the business,

but that was just never...

...just never my...

Hey, son.

All I ever wanted from you was to do your best.

Not me, not your grandfather.

Just you do your best.

I still wish I would've been there more.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Well, maybe that's --

that's why God doesn't let us predict the future.

If we could, we probably wouldn't even get out of bed.

Yeah, that's true.

You're welcome to stay around for a while.

I don't know.

I want to be here for you, Stephanie...Torrance.

Son...

...no matter what happens... we are a family.

[ Music continues ]

Dad, who...

who was with Mom when she choked?

Where was the staff?

We all have questions.

MAE: She was my favorite sister.

I always liked our times the best.

[ Music continues ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

STEPHANIE: I know you didn't bring that tramp

to my mama's funeral!

Why are you here?!

Why are you here?

Uh, let me, uh, let me talk to you.

Come here for a second.

Your mother just died.

You need to rest.

It's not the time.

Thank you, Auntie.

I'm so glad you're here.

[ Laughs ]

I swear, you know Mama would have been so happy.

I think I've heard every single story there is to hear

about the two of you growing up.

[ Laughs ]

Well, I hope she left some of those stories out.

Your mother was the most kindhearted person

I have ever met.

Even though she married into this family,

with all this money, she never changed.

She was just a laid-back Chicago girl.

We used to hang in the streets on the South Side,

and I can tell you firsthand she was no joke.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, I mean, she was in her books,

and she was the good schoolgirl.

But she was one of those half-and-half types, you know?

Half bougie and half ghetto.

[ Both laugh ]

Yes.

That was your mother.

You know, I seen her take out eight Vice Lords at one time

with nothing but a padlock and her heart.

That's the story I think I heard the most --

that one right there.

That's my sister.

So, you here to stay for a while?

I know you've been off in Paris, doing your thing.

The family needs you now.

I'd been back three weeks, and then this happened,

and I-I was planning on going back.

I love Paris.

-I love photography. -Mm-hmm.

I love taking pictures of Paris.

It's -- It's just hard to give up my love to come back to this.

Hard to come back to this?

Are you crazy?

Your mother grew up on the South Side of Chicago

without a pot to piss in,

And the five of us slept in one bed at any given time,

and you're complaining that it's so hard

to come back to all this.

You have no idea what a struggle is.

You've been taken care of your whole life.

I did not ask to be born with wealth.

Mm.

I don't understand why you don't think --

Do you think it was easy growing up in this house?

-Life wasn't peachy. -Mm-hmm.

I grew up with just as much pain and struggle in these walls

-as anyone else. -Okay. Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna take it easy on you,

considering you have no idea what a struggle is.

I love you, girl.

I love you more, Auntie.

Thank you so much for coming.

Now, if you need anything... you let me know, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

All right, now.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

And, niece... that's your cousin's husband.

That's your cousin's husband.

Now, you stop that.

Or at least be more discreet.

-[ Mid-tempo music plays ] -Drop somethin'.

[ Music continues ]

WOMAN: Love is the only thing that works.

[ Music continues ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I won't ever give

Up

Up

If you want to break me

You could never break my love

'Cause that's what's inside of me

I choose to never give up

Oh

If you want to break me

You could never break my love

Because that's what's inside of me

I choose to never give up

Call me shady 'cause I deceive

But you don't want me just to be myself

I'm a product of what you've built

'Cause the truth is not something you handle well

You want me to escape your lies

You capture all you know with them

Benjamin.

Life teaches and God commands

Always chill, and that just means I'm cold

Cold enough to withstand this road

Resentment I attempt not to hold

You'll never know

My strength, the pain, the pressure

You'll never know

The truth in my endeavors

But I'm all right as long as I smile

Things are good 'cause I'm positive today

I have something left to say

[ Music continues ]

I need you to help me make sure I get something out of this.

But I'll brace it

I can take it

I won't stop learning me

Even if I don't like what I see

I can't run or turn away

Opportunity to be the greatest version of me

Through being aware, I'll become free

I'll find it

I'll own it

The moment I can see

You'll never know

My strength, my pain, the pressure

You'll never know

The truth in my endeavors

But I'm all right as long as I smile

Things are good 'cause I'm positive today

I have nothing left to say

Next time on "A House Divided"...

That boy of yours -- You need to reel him in,

because we need someone to carry the truth

and the legacy of this family.

We have a warrant signed by a federal judge

for your arrest this morning.

So it's a little more complicated than that.

Me, you -- a whole new legacy.

I won't let you down.

Daddy's favorite girl is finally telling the truth.

Oh, and the ghost has returned.

And to pass judgment?

Yo, Cam, man. You got to chill.

Baby, kick rocks.

You know, I'm gonna my boys to beat your ass.

-[ Mid-tempo music plays ] -Unh. Unh. Whoo!
