Previously 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.

NEMIS: We've estimated that your organization

has funneled some $42 million worth of stolen oil proceeds

through the Sanders family bank, Birthright.

What are you guys doing with all that clean money?

I'm -- I'm sorry. You're -- You're drunk.

I...I can't do this.

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?

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Like I don't know your little secret,

like we don't know you're a switch hitter out here.

MAN: Ooh!

[ Engine revs, tires squeal ]

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

[ Indistinct talking on radio ]

What are the police doing at this estate, grandson?

-I-I don't know. -What did you do?

I -- Nothing! They're not here for me!

Don't you lie to me, boy.

I can see the deceit just oozing out of your pores!

I raised -- I raised your dad the wrong way.

Spoiled! Let him get away with too much!

And he did the same with you.

You are a sorry excuse for a Sanders man.

Forty-two years.

Forty-two years I toiled in this family business

to maintain our legacy and our name.

And I'll be damned -- I'll be damned

if your entitled ass is gonna tarnish that name!

Police at my home.

I will not let this happen again!

I'm sorry, Grandpa.

Yeah. You're sorry, all right.

Now, you get your sorry behind out there

and face the music now.

Right now. Go!

Go!

[ Indistinct talking on radio ]

Be the man that you are, grandson!

You hear me?!

Be the man that you are!

Officer Kristof, what is this? What's going on?

Sir, I am sorry for this imposition,

but we're here for your son.

I have a warrant for his arrest.

It's come to our attention that he's here,

so we need you to ask him to come out...

...or I'll have to drag him out, sir.

I'm sorry.

[ Indistinct talking on radio ]

All right, son. Look. I already called my lawyer.

Um -- Uh, you -- you'll be there just as they set -- set --

You just hang in there, son. We're coming to get you!

You should let him sit in there for a while

and think about things.

He is my son!

That boy was a big mistake -- just like you!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Oh, no.

This bitch just rolled up in an Uber.

We'll be having none of this.

[ Music continues ]

Wow.

I cannot wait to redecorate this place.

[ Cue thuds ]

Hm.

The flowers on my mother's grave haven't even wilted,

yet somehow you've managed to maneuver your conniving ass

into her bed.

Your father asked me to move in, not the other way around.

Yeah, I get it.

You smelled blood in the water,

and like the piranha you are, you bit.

You used what you had to get what you wanted.

I think I heard that line in a movie somewhere about strippers,

but I'm sure you'd know better than I.

Do you really want to do this right now?

See, you made one huge miscalculation.

You forgot there was a daddy's girl in the picture.

And I'm onto you, and I'll be watching your every move.

Oh, fair enough.

But since when do the children get to police the parents?

Will be you watching my every move to protect him

or to protect your own interests?

[ Chuckles ]

-You're so cute. -Hm.

See, I was born with a multimillion-dollar trust fund

that protects my interests for me daily.

This ain't new money you're fucking.

Our roots run deep.

We are the definition of black power.

Now, Daddy's in mourning

and clearly feeling a little charitable.

But I'm not.

And this shit -- It ain't gonna be as easy as you think.

Lovely welcome.

But if you'll excuse me,

I have to get to hanging my clothes in the master closet.

Well, be my guest.

Oh, no, no. Be mine.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

PAMELA: I love you, son.

Now, you know how I raised you, and you can do better.

It wasn't right, son.

It wasn't right.

Trevor, my lawyer -- He call yet?

I need a bail bondsman on deck now!

Yes, sir. The lawyer already called Judge Bernstein.

He said the bail will be set somewhere in the 100K range.

Mr. Reynolds, he's down there already with the bond.

As soon as the judge hits the gavel, the bail will be posted.

We just have to wait.

Other calls?

Uh, yes. He's in the conference room.

He wouldn't reschedule.

He just showed up.

Adebayo.

TREVOR: Yes, sir.

Tell him...I'll be right in.

Okay.

So you're here late again, huh, Torrence?

There's a lot going on in my house.

I had to get away, yo.

Basketball is my only escape.

Yeah. Um, is there anything I can do to help?

[ Scoffs ]

Unless you got a time machine or a magic wand, nah.

I don't think so.

Yeah. I get it.

I lost my dad to cancer.

I would say I could relate,

but I know it wouldn't make a difference at all.

Let's go. One-on-one. Top of the key.

Check up. Let's get it.

Come on. You know you don't want these problems.

[ Scoffs ] Put five on it.

Ten.

[ Scoffs ] Say less.

Ooh!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Oh.

Actually, I'm just tying my shoe.

Right on, then.

[ Music continues ]

Looking to check you.

Hold up.

[ Music continues ]

STEPHANIE: That was amazing.

Thank you so, so much.

Oh, my baby. Oh.

Thank you, Bear.

Mommy loves you. [ Smooches ]

Okay? I love you.

Thank you so much, Catherine.

[ Sighs ] Oh, I already know.

My family's coming down hard on you, right?

Listen, I don't care what anyone thinks.

I know what we share, all right? No one else has to know.

It's just that it's tearing me up seeing her this way.

You're always so worried about what other people feel,

keeping other people safe, keeping other people secure.

What about you? What about what you feel?

I am so tired of that woman competing with me!

-That was in the past. -In the p--

-Was it really in the past? -Yeah.

All of a sudden, she decides to have an affair.

She lied to you, and you accept it all.

She was very depressed. You know that.

And we had just lost a baby months before.

-I wasn't there for her. -I am so tired

of you making excuses for that dingbat.

Stephanie, I just need some time, okay?

I need some time to figure this shit out, all right?

-Because it's weighing on me. -And I need.

I need a man. I need love.

I need someone to support me!

My mother just died, for God's sake!

I'll always support you.

-You know that. -Yeah.

What you'll always do is let other people walk over you.

-Bullshit, Stephanie. -Goodbye, Raymond!

Steph!

Talk to me, Trevor.

Good. Good. Thank goodness.

No. You take him straight home.

His grandfather and I want to have

a good straightening-out talk with him.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Insects chirping ]

Good luck with Junior.

And you can have my daddy

if you think you can get him away from that tramp.

But don't you never take your fast ass

back down around that barn, 'cause that dick is mine.

Or I will deal with you not as my employee,

but as the skank ho I see you are.

Do you hear me talking to you?

[ Chuckles ]

If you ever put your hands on me again...

Mm-hmm.

...fuck this job.

I'll kill you.

-Try me, bitch. -[ Glass breaking ]

Now clean that shit up.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Hey, yo. It's Sammy.

Hey. What up, little cuz?

Yo. What it do, cuzzo? It's been a minute.

When you coming through to make me some of that bomb-ass gumbo

like you learned to make over there in Louisiana?

I might be down for Thanksgiving,

but I'll let you know.

Uh, things are a little bit crazy over here,

but, I mean, I got to do me.

I already know you're gonna do you.

That's one thing for sure.

So what you calling me for? I know you want something.

Why I always got to want something?

[ Chuckles ] 'Cause that's what you do.

Spit it.

Well, remember when I told you I was gonna cash in on that favor?

Yeah, you did.

I might need you to take care of some business for me.

All right. That's cool. I got you.

I told you I owed you.

After this, you won't owe me.

But I-I need to make sure that this goes smoothly,

just like last time.

That's small shit to a giant. I got you.

All right. Cool. I'll hit you back with the details.

All right. One.

I've got a lot on my plate today, Mr. Adebayo.

-My son -- -Sit down.

Your father told me a long time ago

you almost pitched a no-hitter at USC

but you were robbed by the umpires in the ninth inning.

Yeah. The clearly out runner, he -- he said he was safe.

Okay. I was robbed.

Well, the idea of being robbed

is a misconception that everything is going to be fine.

But this was never promised.

What is your point?

You were unfairly given a set of circumstances

that you did not create.

This arrangement with my organization

was passed down to you,

but yet you are still subject to what is coming.

Be blunt.

We got greedy.

We have stolen too much oil.

Now your government has traced the money

that we laundered through your bank.

It's over.

But you must understand

that all we want to do was to continue our political agenda.

But why?

Why did you help us commit those crimes?

CAMERON: Mr. Adebayo, I have a very tight schedule today.

Now, maybe I could answer your questions at another time.

Please...show yourself out.

Damn it.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Clears throat, sniffs ]

What? I'm up.

Mm. I know.

I'm up. I'm up. Stop it.

I got to get to work.

[ Sniffs, exhales deeply ]

What is she doing that I'm not doing, Raymond?

I'm not gonna start this right now.

I got to go to work.

[ Sniffs, exhales deeply ]

I can smell her all over you when you come home sometimes.

I just to try to tell myself, "It's gonna be okay.

It's just a phase."

What I did to you was wrong, you'll get over it...

...and we can just be together the way we were again.

But every day, I realize more and more...that I am a liar.

I lied to you years ago, and now I'm just lying to myself.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Shit.

They send Adebayo into the room wearing a wire in my bank!

I mean, come on! What is going on?

Calm down. Calm down.

Do not overreact.

We do not know the extent of what's going on here.

You know, and I told you

not to be so sloppy and cavalier, didn't I?

Oh, yeah. So you're gonna blame me now.

Twenty years of this shit, and you want to blame me?

I didn't sign up for this!

Oh, so you didn't sign up for this, huh?

I had you in a Porsche in the 11th grade.

-I don't need a goddamn Porsche. -Okay. Okay.

I swear to God I always knew you were the weak one.

Jeremiah was the smart one.

Okay. Now, look, guys.

All right.

Investigations go on, and sometimes they go nowhere.

We don't know what they have or what they're trying to do,

but we are very early in this game.

We're still in the first inning.

Things like this take a long time,

and you have to learn to pace yourself.

No, no, no, no. I think we should go down there.

-We should tell them everything. -Oh, no.

Look, we might be able to make a deal,

you know, come out with something.

Shut up.

There you go, running scared.

I told your mama stop babying you your whole life.

Pops...you're my father...

...and I respect you...

...but you throw one more jab at me,

I'm gonna knock you out.

I want you to respect what I'm saying

and do what I ask you to do.

Guys, we have to play things by ear.

Let's just make sure no matter what we do,

we move very carefully from here on out.

Can you do that?

Sloppy. Just sloppy.

Aw, I'm out of here!

Oh, boy.

I don't know what to do. I'm just...

I'm just in a funk here!

Benjamin...let me handle it.

I'll be in touch.

[ Chuckles ] What's wrong?

Don't you enjoy working at the greatest place on earth?

I mean, it's good most days.

But some days, they just really try me, you --

Wait. I shouldn't even be telling you all this.

No, no, no. No. It's okay.

I'm an outsider too.

I'm just finding my way around here, so it's okay to be honest.

I just wish that sometimes I could be at least

a little bit appreciated.

Don't we all? [ Chuckles ]

Well, I'm Carissa.

Brittany.

If you need anything around here,

anything at all, just let me know.

-Okay. -Okay?

The girl. She's really tough on me.

I'll talk to her.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

MAN: Sanders!

You made bail.

About time.

Pop C-4.

[ Buzzer sounds ]

Let's go.

I need my property.

I'm out this bitch.

[ Laughs ]

That dude is crazy.

There's something wrong with that cat.

CAMERON: It's a marigold.

One of the most resilient flowers

that grows all summer long.

I know. And her favorite.

Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Comfortable in all its glory.

So beautiful...yet still simple.

As Mom would say, "Just as pretty as it wants to be."

Yeah.

Just as pretty as it wants to be

'cause that's what it's supposed to do,

like trees are supposed to grow tall

and flowers are supposed to shine in the sun.

It's people who fall short.

Grandpa must have got on you again, huh?

Dad...listen to me.

You are an amazing man.

You are a strong and capable man.

And Grandpa is an old man.

And I promise you he doesn't mean

or even remember half the things he says to you.

I'm -- I'm so overwhelmed.

All right.

Well, what did you use to tell us when we were kids

and we were overwhelmed, huh?

Come on, now.

How do you eat an elephant?

One bite at a time.

[ Laughs ]

My little girl.

One day we will laugh at all of this.

I hope so.

Because we are resilient, Daddy, just like marigolds.

I'm gonna go to the office now.

I'm gonna get my lawyers on the horn

and be on the ready... get your brother out.

Love you, Daddy.

Love you, baby girl.

VELASQUEZ: Okay, Sarge.

I'm buttoning up the Sanders case as we speak.

I'll be sending you over the witness statement.

ASAP.

No problem.

Hold on.

You said Sanders case?

Cam Sanders Jr.

Good meeting you.

Detective Velasquez, LAPD.

The, uh, witness?

Yeah. It was a horrible accident.

I mean, you would think everybody knows the Heimlich.

-So someone was there. -Excuse me.

-I got to get back to this call. -Detective --

Nice meeting you, though. Once again, my condolences.

Yeah, Sarge.

Yeah, I'll get that over to you as soon as possible.

I'm on it.

Yeah. I got the files on my desk right now.

[ Insects chirping ]

What are you doing here?

Now, Mr. Sanders, I know it's not all warm and cozy-feeling

with me being here, but you and I both know

your son doesn't need to be alone right now.

He needs somebody.

Hm.

Well, maybe you're right.

[ Sighs ]

I tried to do my best with that boy.

But, uh, he was good at baseball, you know?

Fastball would make your head spin.

But I don't know about anything else.

I really don't.

Sometimes you got to work those muscles, you know?

Well, I mean, I had the same struggle too, you know?

I mean, you got to realize that our family

comes from a long line of serious wealth, you know?

And in the meantime in business that has its ups and downs,

twists and turns and all that.

You know what I mean?

But in the meantime, I taught my sons how to be strong men.

This is...probably not the right time for you to be here,

because we're dealing with a very sensitive matter right now.

Well, I've been know to deal with some sensitive matters

in my time.

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Now, look.

You stay in your lane, young lady.

You're dealing with where the big dogs step.

Unfortunately for me, I'm a wolf.

-Hm. -Hear me out, Mr. Sanders.

I'm not here to hurt. I'm here to help.

I love your son, but you and I both know

he is not willing to do what it takes.

-Mm-hmm. -You raised an honorable man.

He's squeaky-clean, and I admire that about him...sometimes.

But I did not get to where I am

without being willing to handle what needed to be handled.

I've done things.

And I'm willing to do more things if I have to...

-So -- -...to keep what's mine.

So what are you saying? What is it that you want?

I want your blessing

to be a part of this family and this company.

I've put in too much time to be turned away now.

I brought in a lot of accounts while I was over there,

nudged your son to acquire assets

he would've never dreamed of.

So now his problems have become my problem.

So are you talking about my son or the bank?

Both.

Thanks for the offer.

Next time on "A House Divided"...

Mr. Sanders, we're seeing swelling in the abdomen,

and we're concerned about metastasis to your liver.

How about a few more of those pain pills, Doc?

I know you remember what we did last summer, right?

You don't see we're in public right now?

My grandfather would kick me out of the family will

if they found about me.

You understand that?

I'd love to see you, even if it's for a second.

I wanted to come here and tell you something face-to-face.

I felt like I at least owed you that.

We need to find out how they got some of these files.

Well, maybe it was because of that pretty piece of ass

you have switching around here.

It was not her.

You are a man, and you are in mourning.

I understand. But I need my elephant back.
