Previously on "A House Divided"...

Okay. Are you sure everything's gonna be okay?

I cannot go to jail.

Carissa and I are getting married in June.

What?

Who are you?

Who in the hell do you think I am

that you can just mind-fuck me?

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.

Over.

Help!

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Echoing ] ...so I've decided to take my talents

to USC basketball in the fall.

[ Applause ]

-All right. -Thanks, Coach.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Thanks, Pops. I love you, man.

I couldn't have did it without you.

You too, Gramps. Love you, man.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Anything new?

Nothing, Barnes.

We checked for hits on the cellphone tower.

Surveillance footage all around.

Traffic cams. DNA. Nothing.

This was a professional hit, and all we have is this.

Four blocks away on a convenience store feed --

black male, 6'2", 265-ish.

Person of interest. Nothing solid.

Let's scour the ends of the earth and find out who this is.

Update the Nigerian consulate, okay?

I don't want for you. Just a reminder.

Then bring your own coffee next time.

MAN: Well, you're about eight weeks along right now.

So far, so good.

Congrats to the two of you.

See you in about three weeks unless something changes, okay?

Thank you.

Remember when you came home that time for lunch?

Yeah. I remember.

-That was the only time we -- -This is not happening.

It's okay. It's okay. I can handle this on my own.

My mom did it. I turned out just fine.

Wait, wait, wait.

What type of man do you think I am?

You will not handle this on your own.

Okay?

This could be the -- the son that I always wanted,

that -- that we always talked about...

...in the beginning.

I'm here with you.

I hope you really mean that.

I do.

Congratulations on your recent announcement.

You're a strong power forward, the scouts say.

Oh. Thanks, bro.

Please...deliver this to your father.

He must meet me here this evening, 7:00 p.m. sharp.

This cannot be delayed.

Tell him I found you.

I can find you again very easily.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

MAN: Hmm. Look at that. Two hundred likes.

Got to keep using that hashtag shit.

When are you gonna let me go?

Girl, I already told you. Sit tight.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

I'm sorry for the delay in your afternoon.

What is this?

What's going on?

A little birdie told me you were having some trouble

with law enforcement.

I'm here to help.

Let me help you.

I don't need no help.

[ Laughs ]

Honey, we all need help.

See, the way I figure, you have about three hours

before you have to pick your son, Ethan,

up from Kiddie Zone Day Care on La Cienega...

...before they start to look for you.

I-I could have Sammy go get him. What do you think?

What do you want?

What do they have on you?

They caught me buying coke.

How much?

Two bags.

Two bags.

Two fucking bags.

What'd you give them?

Nothing.

What...did you give them?

In my phone.

They wanted to see these files.

The ones from the secret cabinet.

Anything else?

No.

This is how you treat the hand that feeds you, huh?

Cameron found you on Watts about to hop on somebody's pole,

begging for work, and this...is how you repay him.

They were gonna take my son.

For two bags.

Fucking stupid.

Listen.

You are going to take yourself straight to my lawyer's office.

You're gonna do your old-people

nursing-home community service, whatever.

You're gonna call the feds and you're gonna tell them

you don't have anything.

You hear me? Nothing.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Please don't make me have Sammy do carpool service,

'cause I will.

Try me.

Let's go.

Okay, gentlemen, ma'am. My client is here.

So what you got on my client?

Hi. I'm AUSA Ricky Ainge, Central District.

And I'm sure you know my colleagues from the SEC, FBI.

[ Chuckles ] Lots of alphabets here.

It's never a good thing when there's lots of alphabets, Ross.

So what can we do for you?

He's the bank president.

You know we are aware of various money-laundering schemes

with the Nigerians, Panama.

We can offer him immunity, but we want everything.

If not...last I counted, maybe 22 counts.

Plus we may choose to go with a RICO indictment.

The feds made those RICO rules to catch Mafia dons.

My client is far from a Mafia don.

Yeah, but he's no choirboy either.

He was an altar boy at Blessed Sacrament.

Hm.

And as we go through the cooked books,

we see that your altar boy has embezzled about 160 grand

over the last three years from his homies.

So he must have missed a few of those sermons.

How long do we have?

We need him in front of a grand jury in about two days.

After that, you're taking your chances.

Gentlemen.

That's what friends are for, huh?

Uh, I'll do it. I'll do it.

-BARNES: Excuse me? -I said I'll do it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Boy, you make me feel things

That I haven't felt for a long time

I got to go.

See about my brother.

I'm leaving now.

You can leave 30 minutes after.

I know the drill, Cam.

Why you always got to me feel like an insta-ho?

I called you.

Yeah, but you also tried to run me over with a car.

What was that?

I apologized. I'm glad you're okay.

Yeah. Unfortunately.

I guess that just means that... I missed you.

Just let me go on and do you

Boy, I can show you

Open up your eyes

Help you come into the light

-Missed you, too. - I'm the love of your life

- Boy, open your eyes -I'll call you.

Boy, you make me feel things

That I haven't felt for a long time

Hmm.

I don't know.

If I kept the baby...

It's not like I'm gonna have many choices

to have another baby.

It is my choice.

All right, Daddy.

Raymond?

Where are you? I got your text.

We definitely need to --

I'm here.

I sent the text.

Oh, hell, no.

I will not be ambushed by your crazy ass.

You're my blood.

You face me.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Was I your blood when you took my man?

You knew Daddy wouldn't let me have him,

but you also knew that I loved him.

Give me a break.

You treated him like crap.

You're always so infatuated with your own self

and your money that you couldn't even appreciate what you had.

But he's mine now.

This ends now.

How about it ends... when he tells me it ends?

You're never gonna change.

You're so self-absorbed.

You just couldn't take the fact that there was one person

who chose me over you,

the one thing your money couldn't buy -- my husband.

I'm pregnant.

Stephanie!

[ Monitor beeping ]

Oh.

Rest, Benjamin.

I'm just stopping by.

Chris visited.

No. It, uh -- Torrance stopped by.

You're -- You're my second.

Torrance is a gem with a heart.

Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Sometimes I look at him, and he's like a pure gem.

It's like he's the last pure heart

we have left in this family.

Everyone else -- everyone else --

seems to be have a bit of darkness...

...darkness from the cloud that surrounds us.

Is it a cloud or a darkness

or is it a... a tool for survival?

Throughout the generations, it took a certain kind of woman

to be a Miss Letty, you know?

You don't overcome those obstacles

without a small touch of darkness.

Mm. You and me, we're sort of cut from the same cloth.

Yeah. A Miss Letty cloth.

Just a touch of darkness.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Prostate cancer.

It's in my stomach now.

Does Cameron know? Anybody know?

You know.

How long?

Ah, touch and go.

If you are gonna be a part of this family,

it's time you learned where the bodies are buried.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Hello?

Anybody here?

It's Cameron!

Sanders!

[ Door opens ]

You came alone?

Like you said.

Who are you?

Not so important.

What is important is my message.

Are you wired?

Clean.

Beautiful country.

Cannot compare to Nigeria, but...nevertheless beautiful.

How do you... How'd you approach my son?

I'm sure you have an idea.

At this time, I will not ask

what happened to my Uncle Adebayo.

I will chalk that up to the many ugly parts

of this beautiful country.

Random gun violence, maybe.

But, Mr. Sanders, you know what we want.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Right now, the government... t-they're all over us.

I mean, for us to be able to transfer funds right now --

Twenty-five million still in your coffers.

It's our money, and we want it out,

especially before you and your father go to prison --

if you make it that far.

It's impossible.

Look, we had an arrangement.

That arrangement is over!

That money is the only reason you are still breathing, sir.

And we want it now.

I'll try.

Now, as you say in America, that's the spirit.

You have 72 hours.

Or maybe your son doesn't make his first practice at USC.

Maybe he can give my best to my Uncle Adebayo -- wherever he is.

-[ Spanish accent ] Marinas. -[ Laughs ]

What's good?

-Hey. -What's up?

You know we're gonna miss you around here, right?

-Yeah? -Yeah.

It's like my mother always says, "Life is full of chapters.

When one closes, another one just opens up."

So am I a closed chapter for you?

I mean, we're just gonna be in two different worlds, you know?

You know, you have a heart of gold, Torrance.

You know I'm never gonna forget you, right?

-I bet you won't. -Oh, yeah?

[ Both laugh ]

[ Clears throat ]

Sanders, your brother is here to see you.

-Right now? -Yeah.

All right. All right.

You, in my office.

CAM: Hey, you, I'm coming around the corner right now, bro.

Where you at?

-TORRANCE: Yerr! Hey, yo. -[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

-Yo, man. What's good? -[ Music stops ]

You all right, man? They touch you?

Hell, no. I'm good, man.

Yo, you talk to Dad? Is he okay?

No. I texted him. He hasn't hit me back yet.

Yo, we gonna be all right?

Yeah, yeah. We're always gonna be good.

I need to tell you something about Mom.

Look, the -- the newspaper, the media,

they've been getting it wrong.

She wasn't alone when she choked.

-What? -We got to talk to Grandpa.

I think he can help us get to the bottom of it.

You coming?

Yeah, man. Let's go talk to Grandpa ASAP.

I'm about to go and get my shit, and I'll meet you there.

But look, bro. Till I get there, don't say nothing.

Nah. I-I got to go talk to a detective anyway.

Answer some questions. All right?

-All right. -Be safe.

-All right. Bet. -Don't play around.

-We got to go. -I'm going right now, man.

[ Engine revs, music continues ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Mm. You haven't eaten.

Come on. Eat, Pop Pop.

[ Coughs ] No, no.

Mm. No. I'm okay.

[ Coughs ]

You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Pop Pop...what do you do when the wrong thing to do...

...is actually the right thing to do?

It's never a bad thing to take a wrong turn

when your heart is pointed in the right direction.

Okay?

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Thank you, Pop Pop.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Music continues ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Hey! What the fuck are you doing?!

What are you --

BARNES: Benjamin J. Sanders, you are hereby under arrest

for a violation of United States Code 18 USC 1956.

You will be transferred to a federal medical facility

within eight hours.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You also have the right to an attorney.

If you can't afford one, one will be appointed to you

at no charge.

I don't know what this is all about.

What -- What the fuck are you doing, man?

I'm innocent. I'm a sick man in the hospital.

-BARNES: Tell it to the judge. -MAN: FBI!

I've got a warrant signed by a federal judge.

BENJAMIN: What's going on here?

This area has been seized by the federal government.

What is going on here?

Do not move, and do not hide anything.

-I need to make a phone call. -Not at this time.

-I need to make a phone call. -Not at this time, sir.

-Let's go. -I need to make a phone call.

-Triva Baker? -Yes.

-Please come with us. -What? Am I being arrested?

No, but we want to know why you've been ducking our calls.

-Because I have a lawyer. -Yeah, yeah. Let's go.

[ Music continues ]

I'm leaving the gym now. I had to come to get my stuff.

Yeah, I'm on the way right now. Send me the list.

'Cause I don't know what to get. Send me the list.

What you mean?

-[ Engine revs ] -All right. Bet. I'm on the way.

There goes his brother right there.

I told your brother I was gonna get my boys to fuck him up.

He been hiding. But you can get it, though.

I don't know what you're talking -- [ Grunts ]

Hey, yo, Trey, fuck his ass up!

Oh, sh--

Aah! [ Grunts ]

-Aah! Shit! Aah! -Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Aah! Fuck! What the fuck?

Let's go!

Aah!

And tell your bitch-ass brother to learn some respect!

Stupid motherfucker.

[ Groans, screams ]

Uh, change of plans, honey.

I had to take a quick, um, last-minute plane to Panama.

Panama? What? Is everything okay?

Yes.

I'll call you when, uh, when I land.

Okay.

Do what you got to do, Cameron, but be careful.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[ Music continues ]

VELASQUEZ: Yes. Yes, it was, uh, Carissa Walker.

We took her statement and confirmed what happened.

Thank you, Detective.

You've -- You've, uh...cleared a lot of things up for us.

Yeah. Absolutely. We'll let you take care of it.

Okay.

VELASQUEZ: Again, I'm sorry.

Keep us posted with, uh, further updates.

[ Music continues ]

[ Screaming ]

PAMELA: Think, son.

Think.

[ Music continues ]

[ Engine revs ]

Mr. Sanders?

Sir, your father...

...has been arrested by the government.

Keep going.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh!

You are gonna make the most beautiful bride!

Honey, when I put this dress on and walk down the aisle,

a lot of things are going to change around here.

-Amen, girl. -[ Laughs ]

BRITTANY: Oh, my gosh.

Look how it's hugging your hips so perfectly.

And it's nontraditional. I love.

Thank you, girl.

Hey, baby. You okay?

Cam!

CARISSA: Okay. W-W-W-What's wrong?

Are you okay? Let's just talk.

I don't want to talk.

I just want to know one thing.

What happened to my mother?

Why didn't you help her?

-What happened?! -It was an accident.

It was an accident. S-She choked.

I had nothing to do with it, Cam.

You're lying. Why didn't you help her?

BRITTANY: Cam, stop! Please!

Why did everyone lie?

Why didn't anyone know you were there?!

Why didn't you help her? Answer me!

I don't know where you're getting this information,

but it was an accident, okay?

-You're lying! -It was an accident.

Why didn't you help my mother?!

-You are lying! -CARISSA: It was an accident!

[ Screams ]

[ Thunder rumbling ]

All right

We will live good

Nice life

- All right -[ Thunder rumbles ]

LETTY: Promised land, promised land

That's where my feet will go

Mama always told me that the river was to flow

And when I get to the other side

The ancestor will say

"Darling, darling, you made it"

And freedom bells will ring

Promised land, promised land

That's where my feet will go

Mama always told me that the river was to flow

And when I get to the other side

And freedom bells will ring

"Darling, darling, you made it"

- And freedom bells will ring -Letty!

Letty! Letty! Letty!

-A trip? -Something about going out west.

Out west?

Oh, I, I, I...

What makes the other people different than I?

If they can have it, well, so can I

It must be attainable if it exists

I'm not about to live paycheck to paycheck

Money isn't everything

Yes indeed

But if it didn't matter, everything would be free
