[woman] Previously on Greenleaf:
I know you had an affair
with Lionel.

-This just came for you, ma'am.
-[Bishop] The first lady
is joining me

up here today because
we have some news to share.

-We're divorcing.
-[gasping, shouting]

You can have the house.
I'll take care of the IRS bill.

But you have
to leave the church.

Grace, I trust you.
If you say that this
is the case,

-then this is the case.
-What about my Silver Jubilee?

Oh, you mean the Silver Jubilee
that I was just informed
about this morning?

-What about it?
-What are you doing? Stop it!

-[sobbing] It's all lies!
-We will have a very, very
special guest.

-Maxine Patterson.
-You found more cash.

-Yes.
-You emptied our shared account?

It'll be full
in two weeks' time.

It's time to go.

[announcer] Celebrating
Bishop James Greenleaf's
Silver Jubilee.

Recognizing 25 years
of service and dedication

to the community
and to the Lord's church.

Wow. [laughs]
Who's helping you with this?

No one.
Contrary to popular belief,

I can run this church
on my own.

Karine was supposed to be my
aide-de-camp for all this,

but she's so busy

with your mother
and Maxine's team,

that I... I can't
get her attention.

[Grace] But Daddy, you're gonna
have to put a system
in place for this, eventually.

-[Bishop] For what?
-For how you're gonna
handle stuff like this

on a regular basis.

Decorations.
Flowers. Events.

Making the church nice.
The things that Mama
has always done.

-I think I'm doing a fine job.
-You have, for one Sunday.

But you yourself said
the days got away from you.

-You're gonna need some help.
-[sighs]

-Daddy?
-Mm-hm?

Bit much.

You think?

Karine!
What an unexpected surprise.

Mae let you out the mine?

-What's this?
-The divorce papers.

They were just couriered
over from the lawyer's.

So, after I sign these,
I'm a free man?

Once she signs them too.

Fantastic.

[theme music plays]

[Percy] So what
are you gonna do now?

Now that you and Mae are done
and she got the house,

some arrangements were made
at some point, right?

No, no.

The divorce papers landed
on my desk yesterday.

And to be honest...

...they've thrown me a bit.

I hear you.

But don't let them
sit too long.

It's not gonna
get any easier, and...

you got some
living to do.

How's that granddaughter
of mine?

Not great. She comes home,
she goes to her room,

-she just stays there.
-Poor thing.

-Yeah.
-Maybe I'll give her a visit.

-Yeah.
-You know, she does miss you.
That would be great.

Mm-hm. Oh, you wanted
to talk to me?

Yeah.

Well, how can I help?

Is it true you invested
some large sum of money
with Rochelle?

Who told you that?
Your mother?

I asked her whatever happened
with that IRS bill,

she said you have some
plan with Rochelle.

-You have a problem with that?
-How much money
did you give her?

I didn't give her anything.
She invested the money for me.

And, for your information,
she didn't even charge me,
she did it as a favor.

How much?

What is your
point here, Gigi?

I don't trust her.

But she's a part of your
legal defense fund, isn't she?

-Yes, but...
-But you still don't trust her?

Don't let your mother get
into your head
about Rochelle, Gigi.

-She's wrong.
-This isn't Mama, Daddy.

This is me.

And I have my own
reasons for asking.

I assumed that when
you accepted her help,

that it was
because you trusted her.

No, no. I accepted her help
because I didn't trust her,
and I still don't.

What does that even mean?

I'm only working with her
to find out

what the hell she's
doing in this church.

-I am astounded.
-Come on, Daddy.

-Daddy, listen.
-Uh-uh. No, no, no.

The way she has just
swooped in out of the blue

drove some kind of wedge
between you and Mama.

She did nothing of the sort.

It was your mother's jealousy
over something innocent--

Daddy, get that money back.

Oh, I will. With dividends.

[baby cooing]

Oh, look at that.
The happy family.

[laughs]
How's my grandson doing?

He's almost figured out
the walking thing, Bishop.

Let me see.
Come here, baby. [laughs]

-Ooh!
-[baby crying]

Oh... alrighty then.
Alrighty. Alrighty.

-All right. Kevin.
-I got you.

Aaron.

-Bye, baby.
-Bye, Daddy.

-Bishop.
-How can I help you?

My dad called you a few times.

Oh, yes, he has. You know,
I've been so busy
with the Jubilee that I--

He has pancreatic cancer.

-I'm sorry to hear that.
-Yeah.

He's doing chemo
at Memphis General.

They're supposed to be
the best when it comes
to these type of cancers.

And you two
are on speaking terms?

Barely, but yeah.
He's sick.

I'll give him a call.

Thanks.

[sighs]

Come in.

Oh, hey.

You got a second
for an old man?

Grandpa,
what're you doing here?

Just got home from work.

I hope you don't think
just because your
grandmother and I

have been having our
differences,
that I will never visit.

I guess I hope
that's not the case,

but, you know, nobody knows.

I see that Bible I gave you,
it's been out of
rotation lately.

Yeah. I should probably
just give it back.

No, no, you hold
onto it for a while.

You never know when it
might come in handy. May I?

Sure.

I feel like I spend my whole
life in this room lately.

But...

every time I go
downstairs, everybody just...

I know it's a chore,
isn't it?

Fielding everyone's
clumsily stated concerns.

-Do you ever get mad?
-About what?

-Having Parkinson's?
-Yeah.

And everything. Dying.

I used to at first.

But you get to be old as me,
Sophia, you come to realize--

And I don't mean this
to sound too depressing.

We fall apart.

And everything gets
taken away in the end.

-And who would I blame?
-God.

For letting everything
fall apart in the first place.

Just come to church on Sunday.

Grandpa, I don't want to.

It just, it doesn't
feel right anymore.

-I'm sorry.
-It is my Silver Jubilee.

And I'll tell you something,
and you can't tell everyone.

God has given me a special
message just for you.

I'll think about it.

I hate my life.

You come to church.

[train horn blares]

[clears throat]

Hey. You must be the Bishop.

You must be Percy's friend.

Teresa.

James.

Percy's told me
all about you.

-All good, I hope.
-[chuckles] Mostly.

He wishes you went
a little easier on yourself,
but that's it.

Is, um... is Percy around?

No, he's conked out.
We're done.

-Oh.
-I can stick around...

Oh, thanks. I'm good.

All right, then.

Bye.

[door shuts]

[R & B music playing]

-[Jacob] Thanks for
coming over, Pop.
-Where's Kerissa?

-At the church tonight?
-No, she said she just
wanted us to have

-some father-son-grandson time.
-[chuckles]

Plus, at this point,
she's not, uh...

I'm not really
on her good side.

Don't tell me,
because of you and Tasha?

No, what about me and Tasha?

When I came by
the church the other day,

it seemed to me the two of you
were in the middle of something.

No, that was...
that was nothing.

I don't play
that way anymore, Pop.

Good.

So what'd you
wanna talk about?

I got the divorce papers
a few days ago.

They're waiting to be signed.

-Mama sign them yet?
-No.

-You having doubts?
-No. Not doubts.

It's complicated.

I don't see any way forward
that looks right.

God hasn't given me
any clear path.

In the meantime, those
divorce papers sit in
my briefcase like a bomb.

You don't wanna sign 'em?

Then don't, Pop.

-Then what?
-You have your Jubilee.

Let her have her day.

You two go back
to your corners.
Fight's over.

-You think that's possible?
-I do.

You're not really
ready to sign. Not yet.

[speaking indistinctly]

Good morning.

So how long has this
preacher friend of yours
and Mae been hanging out?

I don't know.

Mae always takes great pains
to minimize it
whenever she speaks of it.

I assume that's to make
what I did seem even worse.

Either way, it happened.

I think you should go
and speak to him.

Why do you say that?

Most folks only get a few
people, you know, in life,

that they can
work things out with.
He might be one of yours.

-I brought you
a Charity special.
-[laughs] Thank you.

-Mm!
-Mm! You must have
been reading my mind.

You looked like you were
in a bit of a state
yesterday when I saw you.

-Hm?
-I was. I still am, I guess.

-Do you want to talk about it?
-Kevin and Aaron
are buying a house.

They were telling me
right before you walked in.

Mid-century.

And they're doing that
as a couple?

Yep. And talking
about marriage.

Whoo! That's awfully fast,
isn't it?

I don't understand
why everybody

gets their fairy tale ending
except me.

You know what I do
when I see your mother
making her plans these days,

coming into her own
like she never did
when we were together?

-What?
-I play your CD.

I watch Jacob preach
on the Triumph website.

I open the paper
and I see what holy ruckus that
sister of yours has made today.

[both laugh]

And I thank God
for the three of you.

And for the woman
who raised you all with me.

The happier Kevin gets,

and we have to assume that
he was unhappy for a long time,

the better it is for Nathan.

And that's what matters.
[chuckles] Right?

[sniffles] I know.
You're right.

Now, what you singing
for me on Sunday?

Uh... [laughs]

-"If I Can Help Somebody."
-[laughs] My favorite song!

-I know that.
-Oh, mind if I join you?
It is my Silver Jubilee.

Do I have a choice?

[choir singing]

-¶ My living ¶
-¶ My living ¶

-¶ Shall not be ¶
-¶ Shall not be ¶

-¶ In vain ¶
-¶ In vain ¶

-¶ If I ¶
-¶ If I ¶

¶ Can help somebody ¶

¶ As I'm singing, singing ¶

¶ This song ¶

¶ My living ¶

¶ Shall not ¶

¶ Be in vain ¶

¶ Oh, thank you, Jesus ¶

¶ My living ¶

¶ Shall not ¶

¶ Be in vain ¶

-¶ Hallelujah ¶
-[cheering, applause]

-Good morning, Calvary!
-[all] Good morning!

That was some good singing,
Daddy.

[laughs] You give him
another hand!

-Come on, Bishop!
-[cheering, applause]

Amen!

Now, what can I say
about my father,

by way of introduction
this morning,

by way of celebration...

really, by way of revelation?

Some of y'all have known
him longer than I have.

-[laughter]
-[man] Amen!

Now, what I want to talk
about this morning is this:

My daddy, my Bishop,

your Bishop, is a man of faith.

-[crowd] Yeah!
-[applause]

[Grace]
He doesn't walk by sight.

Now, do I wish sometimes that
he was a little less trusting?

A little more careful?
[laughs] Yeah, I do.

But I have grown more
in the light of my
father's faith in me.

So who am I to deny
someone else that advantage?

We all owe so much

to the faith that Bishop
has had in us.

It's only fitting that we
reaffirm our faith in him

and welcome him to the pulpit
with holy enthusiasm.

Now, I want you to get up.
I want you to get excited!

Give him glory to God's welcome,
Bishop James Greenleaf!

Rochelle's not
what you think.

I hope you're right.

[crowd cheering]

Amen! [laughs] Please.

[Connie] Good sermon, Bishop.

Well, thank you
for saying so.

I don't know what
tricks Mae and Maxine
have up their sleeves,

but that's gonna
be hard to beat.

-It's not a competition, Connie.
-Yes, it is.

Sophia!

Well, what'd you think?

Your spirit
didn't hear that?

I don't think
I have a spirit.

Don't even think that thought.

Can you come to my office?

No, I'm gonna go home
and get that Bible
that you gave me...

Sophia Greenleaf,
give me ten minutes.

-Ten minutes. Five.
-And what?

I'm gonna tell you
the meaning of life.

Sit here.
Come on.

I want you to see that
nothing is any clearer

behind that desk than
it is anywhere else. Okay?

Now, this is what
I want to tell
you.

You're born. And by the time
you're five, six,

you look around and you realize
that you're on a train.

By the time you're your age,
you realize

that train is going very fast,

faster than anything
you've ever read about,
anything you've ever seen.

So you see your parents
and you ask them,

"Are we on a runaway train?"
And they say, "No.

We would never
do that to you,

bring you into
a world we can't control,
that no one can control."

-But that's exactly how it is.
-So you say,

"I'm gonna go to the front,
I'm gonna talk to the engineer.
There's gotta be one."

You go to the front.

But by the time you get there,
you're angry!

Why?

Because by the time
you get to the front,

you've seen that
this whole train is filled

with scared people.

You bang on the door
and you say,

"Open this door,
I wanna talk to you!"

And by the time
you kick down that door,

and you see...

you see the
engineer's face.

And you can see
the tears in his eyes,

that he knows exactly
what's going on.

He feels all the pain
that you feel,

all the fear,
everybody's.

And he's doing
everything he can
to make it better.

So you say,
"How can I help?"

And he says,
"Who are you?"

You say, "I'm Sophia"
or "I'm James."

And he says...

"Go back there, Sophia.

Please.

And you...
you tell everybody...

that I love them...

and I'm doing
the best that I can

to bring this thing
to a safe and satisfying end.

And if you ever
want to talk,

you know where to find me."

So you go back
into the train...

and you live
the rest of your life.

That's it.

That's life.

That's salvation.

Happiness isn't
the absence of sadness.

It's living and it's being

in the mystery
and the adventure
of this life in God's world.

With others.

With God.

I know that you...
you feel that God is not
there for you right now.

But I need you
to know that

you need to
be there for God.

God needs you.

I just want you
to be happy again.

I want to see that smile
on your face.

Bye.

Love you, Grandpa.

All alone tonight, Percy?

Well, I, uh...

I can't afford
this kind of action
more than once a week.

What do you
spend your money on?

I'm not talking
about money, James,

I'm talking about...
I'm talking about self-respect.

Hm.

No matter how good
those women act...

you'll never forget
that you're paying for it.

You got such
a rare thing with Rochelle.

[laughs]

A young woman like that...

all ready to rub your feet
and ride you.

I'm just talking about
how rare that thing is, James.

It's nigh on unbelievable.

Good night.

[Rochelle]
Something wrong?

I'm not sure.

Does it have to do
with the investments?

Oh, no, no, no.
It's not that.

Good. Because you know
those take time.
You have to have patience.

What are you doing in my life?

-What do you think I'm doing?
-I don't know.

I mean, I thought I knew.

But now I'm just...
I'm not sure.

You say you love me.

Is that true?

Why would I say it
if I didn't mean it?

I don't know.

Look at me.

-Look at me.
-I'm looking at you.

I'm an old man.

My hands shake.

My body's not
what it used to be.
And it never will be again.

Now, in a city full
of young studs to choose from...

what do you want with me?

Do you think I'm using you
or something?

-I don't know.
-To what?

Help out with my lack
of heartache?

Or may lack of headache?

Take out your phone.

Open up that app I showed you.
The one that shows you
all your accounts.

-Holy God in heaven.
-Now, who's using who?

-Hm?
-Have I made that much already?

I said who's
using who, James?

You're making money already.

What I got?

No man, no ring, nothing.

-Are you using me?
-No!

'Cause that's
what it seems like.

No, no!

Look, I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry I asked the question.
-God, your entire family,

all of y'all are snakes.

All y'all see is snakes.

And I'm over it.

-Rochelle. Rochelle.
-No, I'm serious, James!

You know, you just go ahead on
and take care of your IRS bill.

All right? I'm glad
I could be of some assistance.

Rochelle, please!
Don't go.

I'll never doubt you again.

Please.

Please.

[train horn blares]

[Percy] You go and see
that Lionel yet?

I'll go today.

Good.

[Bishop] Lionel Jeffries.

[sighs]

Um... ma'am, I'm...
Bishop Greenleaf.

Are you okay?

-Have you lost a loved one?
-No.

If there's anything
I can do...

I hope you don't mind
if I... if I just sit
with you for a while.

That's okay.

It's my father.

I just left him.

He doesn't know
anybody here, and, uh,

and I can't
take care of him.

I have kids.

I have to work.

And I can't watch him
all the time.

Thank you.

He needs someone
that can feed him.

You know, and bathe him.

I tried.
I tried really hard.

What a blessing.

That God gave you a father
that means so much to you.

And that you're able
to demonstrate that love

by giving him the best care
that you can give.

By putting him here.

God knows that you trying
to do it yourself...

wouldn't be
in anybody's best interest.

Not your father's.

Not yours or your family's.

This, what you're doing,
is a pure act of love.

This love hurts.

Can we pray together?

May the blessing of God
be upon you always.

Amen.

Thank you.

[Lionel] Come in.

[sighs]

Thank you for coming.

You have something to say?

I assume that's
why you called.

I just want to say I'm sorry.

I don't expect
that you will forgive me.

A man expects his dealings
with a woman

to be... splintered.

Fraught. Messy.

Imprecise.

But he looks to his friends
to keep things whole.

I am so sorry, James.

What was done was wrong
in a million ways.

Ten million million ways.

You know what broke
the heart of Jesus
as I understand it?

It was the betrayal
of a friend.

For this to begin
with a kiss from a friend...

I am so sorry.

It's the last time that we'll
see each other in this life.

I forgive you.

Mae.

Here are the divorce papers.

I've already signed.

Why?

Why what?

Why did you sign them, James?

Because I know...

I have no right
to this marriage.

Perhaps I never did.

Whether you sign them or not
is... obviously up to you.

Karine, have these messengered
to my attorney, please.

You just missed Sophia.

Thanks.
