Previously on "A House Divided"...

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

Or I will deal with you not as my employee,

but as the skank ho I see you are.

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

I told you I owed you.

Why did you help us commit those crimes?

Show yourself out.

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

If you need anything around here,

anything at all, just let me know.

The girl. She's really tough on me.

The, uh, witness?

Yeah. It was a horrible accident.

So are you talking about my son or the bank?

Both.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I ain't got no money to be buying all this stuff,

but I did it anyway.

It's okay. I got a lot of stuff on sale.

Yes. Yes.

Thank you so much, though, for inviting me out.

-I needed it. -You know I got your back, okay?

Listen, those people have you in that crazy house up there

with them with crazy-ass people all day long.

-Unh-unh. No. -Girl, let me tell you.

I really feel like I be in that bitch

working for the fucking Lannisters.

-Oh, my God. -Yes. Crazy-ass people.

Crazy! Let me get back to the bank.

You already know the Targaryens are gonna be looking for me.

-Not the Targaryens, though. -Yes. They crazy.

-Oh, my God. Girl. -You already know!

But we need to do this again next week, like...

Next week. For real. I'm'a call you.

Okay, girl. You know what? Let me get me one more time.

Let me, 'cause I'm going to deal with these crazy-ass people.

Maybe two more times. Yeah. For the road.

-One. -[ Laughs ]

-Okay. All right. -I'm good.

All right. Bye, girl. Love you. See you!

Every garment is weed-scented

Wonderin' where your partner been at

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Mr. Sanders. So good to see you again.

-How you doing, Dr. Oden? -I'm well.

Okay.

You missed your last appointment, I see.

My grandson had a basketball game.

Triple double.

Mr. Sanders, in your situation, you can't afford to be lax.

We need to attack this head-on.

We're seeing swelling in the abdomen,

and we're concerned about metastasis to your liver.

Metastasis?

My dad passed up on all that chemoradiation therapy,

and he lived 20 more years.

They told him he only had two more years at best.

I'm fine.

I know how to take care of myself.

Look, Mr. Sanders, this is a very serious matter.

There are some things we could do

to potentially buy you some more time,

but I'm afraid the prognosis in your situation,

at your age...it's not good.

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

Mr. Sanders, prostate cancer is real.

You need to follow the treatment plan.

Pain pills, Doc.

-[ Mid-tempo music playing ] - Oh, oh, oh

And do it better than the last time

So get up out your seat and throw your hands up in the air

Like it's the last night

Tonight's the night I show them who I am

And do it better than the last time

Last time I was here, man, we got lit, man

We got loaded

I spilled drink all over the turntables

The speakers almost exploded

I'm too damn wild to control it

This party life, I'm devoted

Like Carlito's Way, I'm recharged

And I'm coming back and reloading

Third bar in, find you at one of your favorite spots.

And it stays up till we through

Now stand up

That means you

- Throw your hands up -Damn.

I must be getting predictable.

So ain't a damn thing we can't do

See me crowd-surfing, these girls working

Excuse me. Can I get a moscato?

Still drinking moscato.

Yep.

This bonding-out shit's for the birds.

You know I got to be home at 9:00 p.m.?

A grown man. I got to be home at 9:00 p.m.

Cam, you really need to get that temper under control.

Been telling you that for years.

My grandfather had it. I had it. We just got anger problems.

It's like we just got -- It's in the blood.

I don't know.

When all of this is over with... let's take a trip.

Grand Exuma.

Maybe we can go back to Atlantis like we did last summer.

You got to remember what we did last summer, right?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

[ Music continues ]

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

Cam, it's not the 1960s no more, man.

Who cares?

Who are you hiding from?

I'm not hiding. It's just the way it is.

It's the way I want it.

I got a family name.

I don't understand how that's gonna tarnish your family name.

You could just be free like the rest of us.

-Free? -Free.

Free like who? Free like you? Free like her?

My grandfather would kick me out of the family will

if they found out about me.

You understand that?

I think you're being paranoid, Cam.

This is who you are.

All you have to do is just talk to your family.

You ever talk to my family?

What I need right now is space.

Let's go, let's go

Tonight's the night to lose control

Well, giving you some space,

I'm assuming that must mean all the little plans

and the trips that you suggested that we take mean nothing.

You guilt-tripping me now?

Get up, get up

Here we go

Put your hands up

I just told you...

that I'm going through some things and my family needs me

and I need space.

All right?

[ Down-tempo R&B plays ]

Christ.

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

And no, I did not forget about last summer.

It was cool.

Cam, I can't promise that I'm gonna be here.

I know you got to figure everything out.

[ Music continues ]

You need to make a move.

When the world gets too cold

Hold me close

Don't let go

I'm not here

Enjoy the present

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

You hold it down, girl

You already know

Don't mess around

No time for games

Yeah, you know it

You don't care what haters say

Girl, you know

You're just focused on your grind

Yeah, you know

You better go, girl

Go, girl

You go, girl

Like Martin told Gina, you better go, girl

-[ Cellphone buzzing ] - Go, girl

- Go -- Go, girl - Go, girl

Like Martin told Gina, you better go, girl

Hello.

What's up, baby? What's going on, Carissa?

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

Tito, I changed my number. How did you get this number?

Shit. Fifty bucks in the Cash app,

and your cousin Gabby gave up that number in a half a second.

Come on. You're on the West Coast.

It's still daytime out there.

What do you want? Hmm? I told you it was over.

-I meant it. -Slow down, baby girl.

I'm just calling to check up on you,

making sure that old rich dude's doing

what he's supposed to be doing.

I can't have my baby girl out there suffering.

I am not your baby. I don't need you to check on me.

-Matter of fact, lose my number. -Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please.

I just needed to hear your voice.

I wanted to hear your voice.

Do not call this number again.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Listen.

I got a gig out there in Cali.

I'll be out there in a couple days, on Sunday.

Doing a promo show.

The new album is lit.

I'll be staying at the San Padre Motel in Signal Hill.

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

After everything you've done for me...

the least I can do is play you a few songs.

Don't call me again.

Slut.

So as one of the top five banks in Germany,

we have a tremendous infrastructure,

tremendous capital,

as well as a great standing with the U.S. government.

We've made loans to companies

owned by some of the top individuals in your government.

And when I say top, I mean top.

We can ease a lot of your financial burdens,

and we even have a great shot

at eliminating the issues you have with the SEC.

Excuse me, sir.

Who told you that?

Well, we live in a world today

where there are no secrets, Mr. Sanders.

As CEO and chairman of the board of Birthright Bank,

I will ask the questions from here on in.

What is the offer?

Well, as you can see,

with the assets that you currently have under management

as well as your rather precarious situation

with the government, uh, it is quite a generous offer.

Um, you'd be free to spin off your real estate holdings,

franchises, and telecommunications unit

into separate businesses.

And we only want the banks in the U.S.

as well as the one branch in Panama.

I want to thank you, gentlemen,

for coming all the way here to, uh, discuss with us.

I'll mull over this with the board,

and Peter will continue discussions with you,

and, um, we'll be in touch soon.

[ Clears throat ]

As a young bank growing, we've been in your shoes.

You should learn the wisdom of old Europe.

I think time is of the essence.

Good day, sir.

BENJAMIN: No. No, no, no, no, no.

Over my dead body.

I don't care how many zeros they wave at us.

It's a lot of money, Pops,

and we're not in the best position right now to say no.

So you are considering this? Is that it?

No, no, no. You cannot be serious, Cameron.

Look, your ancestor, Letty,

toiled and toiled and toiled in the sugarcane fields...

-Until her hands were raw. -...until her hands were raw.

That's right, and she fought her way all the way up to the top

and set this up for her future generations.

For what?

For you to go and sell it to a German banking conglomerate?

Look here, Cameron.

That big bank is as crooked as it gets.

They've already settled with the SEC three times already.

I am not having this.

Oh, man, you don't get it, man. They get to settle!

Oh, come on, Pops. It's not gonna be easy for us.

Man, we're nigger rich in America, accused of a crime,

and they're gonna want to send us to prison!

They're gonna take away everything

our ancestor Letty worked for and you worked for.

-Come on. -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is our family.

This is who we are.

This is real life.

No, no, no. No, son. Look here.

We fight this until the end,

until we don't have an ounce of strength left in our bodies.

This will ultimately be my decision and my decision alone.

You gave me the power of attorney.

I'd like your support.

If you do this... you are dead to me.

[ Scoffs, sighs ]

[ Laughs ]

You're short.

I said $100.

Nah. You said $75.

Now you're saying $100? What's up with that?

Papi, I know I'm drunk, but I'm not crazy, okay?

I said $100.

[ Clicks tongue ]

Come on.

Do I still have to cover up?

Are you kidding me?

[ Knock on door ]

Hey, get the door.

[ Scoffs ]

Here -- $100. Now get the door.

That's what I thought.

Get out of here. Take a fucking walk.

You're a fucking loser.

I'm keeping the money.

So, what's up? What you want?

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

I felt like I at least owed you that.

What is it?

I was broken, and, um... you found me.

You took me under your wing, gave me life, restored me.

For that, I am eternally grateful.

There will...

There will always be a place in my heart for you.

Your mind is amazing, and you taught me so much,

but -- but there were also the bad times.

And, boy, when they were bad, they were bad.

Come on, baby.

Ma.

I was young.

And I made mistakes.

But you know what we had was real.

And this rich guy... with all of his money...

...it's cool for the time being.

But how many rich miserable people do you know?

Hmm? A lot.

Money doesn't make you happy.

And it doesn't fix everything like you think.

You don't love this guy.

He's not even your type.

Come on. He's not even on the wild side.

And I know you like them riskier.

[ Chuckles ]

Does he know how savage you are?

Hmm?

Does he know the real you?

So don't sit here and tell me that you're in love.

He's a good man.

You don't love this cat.

Come on. I'm not buying it.

I would risk everything for you.

Would he?

You know.

Why else would you come here?

I am here for closure, all right?

To look you in the eye and say that it's over, so...

Carissa.

You walk out...that's it.

There's always gonna be a place in my heart for you, Tito,

but that is it for real -- like...done.

So this is what you want out of life?

To be somebody else's trophy?

'Cause that's all you are to him -- a trophy.

He's never gonna love you the way I loved you.

We were just kids when we met.

I took you and put you on your feet.

I made you the woman that you are today.

And you're just gonna walk out on me like this?

Goodbye, Tito.

Carissa.

Carissa!

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Well, hello, Peter.

It's nice to see you again.

Ooh. The ghost has arisen.

It's good to see you, Carissa.

It's always a pleasure when we meet.

I'm here to see Cam. Can you let him know?

It amazes me how you can look someone in the eye

as if nothing has happened,

as if you haven't done terrible things,

even thrown daggers at them.

My responsibility is to this bank and this business

and...not your feelings.

And to that I cannot apologize.

You are low down for what you did.

Mm. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

But you know that everyone here

is afflicted with the same curse,

and that curse is self-preservation.

And you know better than everyone else

that we will do what we need to do to preserve ourselves.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have some bank-only business to tend to.

Can you let Cameron know?

He's in the back.

You can see yourself out of my home when you finish.

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

Sir?

Cam?

You all right?

Here. Let me help you.

[ Grunts ] I'm fine.

No, you're not. You're not. Let me get you something to eat.

You need some aspirin. That'll help.

I'm good.

[ Music continues ]

[ Grunts, coughs ]

[ Gagging, breathing heavily ]

-TORRANCE: [ Laughs ] -[ Laughs ]

-Hilarious! -Oh, my gosh.

Yo, that was crazy.

Yo, you see that old head cut you off

in the middle of traffic and flipped you the bird, though?

Oh, my gosh.

Yo, brother had to be at least 100 and still had road rage.

I mean, senior citizens have a lot to contend with nowadays,

especially with all the healthcare stuff going on.

[ Laughs ] You wild.

Hey, uh, real talk, I appreciate the ride, though.

-Thank you. -Anytime.

But look, I'm gonna pick you up at 7:00 in the morning,

so make sure you're ready.

'Cause you know we got two-a-days now.

-All right. -All right.

I'll be here. I'll be ready.

-All right. -I'll see you in the morning.

Okay.

[ Laughs ]

Dang.

I wasn't gonna say anything

'cause I don't want to start any trouble,

but that guy treated me like a complete outsider,

like a total nuisance.

You're the boss. It's your bank.

I don't understand how he can get away

with something like that.

All I asked was for the oil portfolio.

I brought in a multimillion-dollar account,

and I can't even get an update.

You probably misunderstood, baby.

Now, Peter's a friend, but he's also the bank president.

He can't just give you information like that.

Now, you maybe stepped on his authority with your attitude.

You know how you are.

But it's okay.

I don't think he meant anything by it.

"You know how you are." What does that mean?

Do you know who I really am?

Leave it. Go.

I got what I need to know.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Music continues ]

I've heard from my inside contact,

and there are some sensitive files

that have not been subpoenaed yet by the SEC

that they're aware of.

There are also some files involving some transfers

from Panama to some of the shell companies.

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

And it's very important that we do this fast.

Do we have some kind of leak around here or what?

CAMERON: No. Only a couple of people have access to the file.

The files are not on computer. They're not in the cloud.

They're not on internal or external drives.

We have them locked away in separate file rooms.

I thought you said you had them encrypted.

Encryptions get hacked all the time.

Sloppy. Just sloppy.

Now, look, how they got the files is what's important,

nothing else.

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

you have switching around here.

She has full access to this entire bank,

and she doesn't even work here anymore.

It was not her.

How would you know?

You're just a tenderhearted lover boy.

Pops!

Yeah. [ Coughs ]

[ Clears throat ]

Excuse me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Woman whispering indistinctly ]

Boy meets girl

Girl likes boy

We hang out

We're in love

And everything's going good

Time goes on and on

I said I need temptation

What you doing, baby? Come back to bed.

-No, thanks. -Come on.

Stop. 'Cause I can't.

Carissa.

We're both jaded

The love, it faded

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Sniffs ]

What's up, Triva?

Hey, what's up?

Same thing as last time?

Yeah. Make it two.

Sounds like a party.

Just a long week.

All right.

Mm.

A little light, huh?

No, it's all there.

You just trust me. You'll love this batch.

[ Dog barks in distance ]

Triva Baker. Well, how are you?

Looks like we got a little bit of a problem, Miss Triva.

'Cause, you see, cocaine possession's not legal

in the state of California.

So it seems to us like you've broken the law, Ms. Baker.

No. I'm -- I'm not a criminal, okay?

I just -- I like a little bit every now and then.

Like -- Like it's two cups of coffee or something.

We'll see if the judge sees it that way.

Judge?

So wait. Are y'all gonna arrest me?

I'm afraid so.

'Cause, you see, our job is to uphold the law.

And you know that 3-year-old you have at home?

He's gonna have to suffer the consequences for your actions.

And we don't want that to happen.

Wait. W-Wait. What is going on?

Well...maybe -- just maybe -- we can work something out.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Cellphone buzzing ]

[ Music continues ]

What's up?

-Hey. -What's up, baby?

Listen, I was just calling to let you know

that this last time was really the last time.

Don't call me again.

So that's how you're gonna treat me?

Just gonna treat me like a rag doll?

What'd I ever do to you to deserve this?

Huh, Carissa?

If you love me like you say you do,

don't call this number again.

Exactly what did you see?

Does it really matter?

I'm telling you what I saw, Daddy.

I saw her leaving a motel.

Do you really want the dirty details?

Damn, Daddy. I am your daughter.

Yes, but we can't just jump to conclusions.

It could be something... something more than we know.

Daddy, would you get your head out of the clouds?

What is wrong with you?

What is she doing, backflips or something?

You are a man, and you are in mourning.

I understand. But I need my elephant back.

And if you don't take care and protect yourself,

I will do it for you.

Relationships are... based on trust.

Trust?

How can you trust somebody

laying up with some nigga in a motel room?

And she doesn't even have the common decency

to talk to you about it.

There could be an explanation. Let me talk to her.

No, 'cause she's not gonna be honest.

Let me do it.

I will beat her ass and get the truth.

Then you can just send me back to Paris

until it all blows over.

I'll come back.

I will talk to her.

Daddy.

I got this.

Yes?

I just thought you might like some refreshments.

Nosy little mice get their tails chopped off.

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

[ Coughing ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Thank you.

And you're sure that's what he said?

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

And we can have some fun

And we can have some fun

And we can have some

Um...I really appreciate you helping me.

You know, slowly, one step at a time.

And I wanted to have dinner with you

so you can feel how much I appreciate you.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I was just doing my job.

Cleaning up my vomit?

I don't think that's in your job description.

It's not.

But you're gonna be all right, though.

I will be.

I have to be home by 9:00.

How much trouble can I get into before then?

You? Trouble?

It seems to be able to find you wherever you are,

so just be careful.

Well, we need to get you back home,

because people will miss you.

You are right. They will.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

I thought this was your car.

Is this what we're doing now?

How long you gonna keep pretending with this one?

Like, you know, biquinho? Really?

-You gonna keep hiding? -[ Door closes ]

This is what we doing?

You gonna run -- You're gonna run me over?

[ Engine revs ]

All right.

[ Engine revs ]

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Waves breaking in distance ]

Sherry? It's Stephanie.

Of course.

I need you to get me a one-way ticket back to Paris.

Mm.

You asked to see me?

Yeah. Have a seat.

All due respect, I'd rather stand.

What's this about?

There was an unfortunate event that did occur

with one of our associates from Nigeria.

Do you know anything about that?

Now, look.

My granddaughter did inform me about this other situation.

Sir...

So I know what you're capable of.

Okay?

Based on what we're going through right now,

you could be an asset to this family.

But what I need you to know -- really know --

is what I'm capable of.

Don't disappoint me.

I'm telling you, I already bought my ticket myself.

I'm like, fuck this shit.

Going back to Paris.

Take my pictures, live my life, you know?

Yeah.

I've felt like that a lot of times.

Mom gone, everything feels a little different.

Mm-hmm.

You know I caught her -- coming out of a motel.

-Are you serious? -Mm-hmm.

-Dad knows? -Yes. I told him.

But his head is so far up that thot's ass,

he can't see her shit.

He took her word over mine.

That's a first.

He would've never done that if Mom was still alive.

Steph, I need you to stay.

Huh? Why?

So we can get to the truth... about Mom's death.

She choked, right?

Did she?

I just feel like there's more to the story.

Like what?

I don't know yet.

But I need you to stay to help me find out.

Yeah. Hell, yeah.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Horn honks ]

TITO: Carissa!

Carissa!

-Baby, come on out! -Hey.

Come on, Carissa! Let me in! Come on!

Carissa!

I believe what you told me,

and I believe what you told me is the truth.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

-I love her, though. -TITO: Come on!

But why is this man... at our house?

TITO: That's right!

I don't know.

But I will get rid of him, okay?

No. I'll take care of it.

[ Music continues ]

That's right! I ain't going nowhere!

I ain't going nowhere until she come with me!

Come on, man. Let me in.

That's my woman! You know that's my woman!

Open up!

Come on!

Yeah. Yeah! You know what's up!

[ Engine revs ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Laughs ] I told you that's my woman.

Y'all can't keep me from her.

So, where she at?

Huh?! [ Grunts ]

CARISSA: No. Stop!

You have to stop! Please!

I told you!

-Now go inside! Right now! -No! You can't --

-You're gonna hurt him! -TITO: Carissa!

Go inside!

TITO: Carissa!

[ Groaning, sobs ]

Next time on "A House Divided"...

Are you sure everything's gonna be okay?

'Cause I cannot go to jail.

Why did you come?

I wanted to see... if it was real.

We have reached a point where it's no longer fun and games.

All right. Enough of the small talk.

That's not you, Benjamin, all right?

You don't have to feel me out. You can trust me.

I can't do this.

Steph. St--

I'm gonna sell to the Germans.

Considering our situation, it's the best bet.

That is our Birthright Bank!

It's over. Done.

Who are you?

Really, who are you?

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