Original subtitles

[woman] Previously on Greenleaf:

Have I made that much already?

I said who's usin' who, James?

I'll never doubt you again.

We'd like to ask you a few questions

about a girl who lived here once.

-Michelle Cross? -Sisters.

Michelle and Tara. But Cross wasn't the last name.

-What was it? -James.

-Michelle Cross. -What about her?

Daddy, she is Daryl James' daughter.

She's the half sister of Basie Skanks.

Basie?

I've heard you've been a bad girl.

If I thought I could lose this case

Coralie, I wouldn't take it.

OK, I'll do it.

Well, you couldn't even tell some ho

on the radio that we were together.

I'll claim you when you start acting

like someone who deserves me.

It's about the accounts.

-What? -Over $200,000 was deposited

into it within over the past three months, then withdrawn.

but I can't seem to find where he went.

What do you want, Lionel?

I want to talk about my daughter.

Come on, now, I'm not gonna waste this whole week.

Proppin' up a floppy old puppet

with one dangly eye.

My reputation's on the line here too, girl.

You've got to sell this thing.

Sit down.

When James cheated with Mavis, I--

I still don't know why you stayed after that.

I leave a man if he scrapes his fork too loud on his plate.

I wanted to leave him,

at least for a little while, you know,

to scare him.

But then we had this annual vacation coming up with...

Lionel and Patrice.

Same Lionel you had your fling with?

Yes. And that's all it was meant to be, was a fling.

I mean, I just needed to get my groove back a little.

But then I got pregnant.

-No. -And now that Lionel is dying,

he wants to tell the woman that he's sure

is his daughter "the truth."

Grace?

Who else?

I'm telling you, God has it in for me.

Is she really his daughter?

The timing of it

would seem to indicate that...

Oh, Maxine, this selfish old man wants to die

like an exiled patriarch, leavin' me behind

with this girl blaming me.

For what, not telling her?

Well, she's gonna think all this is the key

to all my sorrows, this is my answer to life--

"My mother, the whore, was ashamed of me,"

and you know what, she wouldn't be completely wrong.

Look, you know what you got to do, Mae.

Drink bleach and walk into traffic?

You gotta get ahead of it.

You're about to step into the Holy of Holies.

Pastor, you got to get yourself clean.

Secrets have no place in the company of the King.

[theme music plays]

[Grace] When Rochelle's mother went to prison,

she and her sister wound up in foster care,

so I went to see their last foster mother yesterday.

Now, this form from Child Protective Services

shows that the Flannerys took in two girls

26 years ago--

Rachelle and Tara.

And the foster mother confirms

that the girls' last name at the time was James.

A bewitching coincidence.

Daddy, the details all line up.

Their father died in a fire, mother went to prison.

It all fits perfectly. And then the foster mom gave me this picture.

That is Rochelle!

It just doesn't make sense.

Facts are facts.

And, um, what about Basie Skanks?

He was their half-brother.

The foster mom remembers hearing them talk about him.

He was their hero.

It just doesn't seem possible.

Why is this so hard for you to believe?

Because...

Because why? It's all there, Dad.

Because of everything that Rochelle has done.

Because of the way she carries herself in my company.

She's a virtuous woman, and I just--

I just can't believe it's true.

She raised money for your defense fund.

She donated generously to our church.

She helped me pay off the IRS.

Now, if she is the vengeful person that you say she is,

why would she do that?

Why?

[Karine] Wait a minute now, the bishop--

I'm sorry, they won't listen!

Who won't listen?

-FBI. -FBI?

-Yes, ma'am, please step aside. -You just stop right there.

We have a search and seizure warrant, ma'am.

-Please step aside. -What's this all about?

You're being investigated on suspicion of bank fraud,

theft and embezzlement of church funds.

-What-- -We're going to confiscate

and computers, discs, files,

or any paperwork we deem relevant to the investigation.

[Kerissa] But we weren't the ones who were--

[Agent Crenshaw] I'm gonna ask you to please step outside.

-[Kerissa] Jacob-- -[Agent Crenshaw] Now.

Let's let these folks do their job.

Let's go.

[scoffs]

[Agent Crenshaw] Oh, one more thing, Mr. Greenleaf.

That's Pastor Greenleaf.

Right. I assume you have an accountant?

Of course we do.

I'm Agent Crenshaw, FBI.

We have a few questions we need to ask you.

Thank goodness you're here.

There's something going on here that's highly unorthodox.

Let me show you.

[Lady Mae] A Day with Lady Mae, now, that was a wonderful tradition,

but this is going to be a complete upgrade.

-Well, tell me. -"She Changes Everything."

-That's the name of the event? -[Maxine and Lady Mae] Yes.

[Lady Mae] And it's going to be a day

of renewal and rededication,

preaching and teaching, singin' and holy dancin'.

-Ooh, amen. -Yes, amen.

Will your daughter be speaking?

Charity will be singing, yes.

No, I mean Pastor Greenleaf,

your famous director of outreach.

A few months ago, she was hailed in the paper

as the new face of Calvary.

She might make an appearance.

She won't.

I mean, this fabulous

roster of speakers we have is full as it is.

But with this legal fund of hers making front page news,

folks will be wanting to hear what she's up to now.

Won't she be speaking?

-[loud footsteps] -[man speaking indistinctly]

Here's what I can tell you.

The spirit of God will be up there speaking,

no matter who's in that pulpit,

I can guarantee that.

And Memphis, you don't want to miss it.

Excuse me.

It's going to be a glorious event.

Just stay calm.

Mama, what is going on?

I have FBI agents asking me for my laptop.

It has something to do with your father, no doubt.

Well, all of my arrangements are on there.

They're not backed up, so what am I supposed to do?

-I know I should back up my-- -Charity, please...

just for once, can you find a way to be useful

in an emergency and not somehow make yourself

the needy little center of attention, just once, please?

Oh, heaven help us all.

What are you doing?

Where do you think you're going with my computer?

Oh, Grace, Grace, what is this?

Does this have anything to do with that court case and that Coralie--?

This has nothing to do with that, Mama.

This is about Daddy and the IRS.

They're taking all of our computers.

Well, you're not taking mine.

Listen, my sermon's on there,

my PowerPoint, my music, everything. Please--

It's gonna be OK.

No, you stop right there, son,

or I will rip your ears clear off your head.

I told you she wouldn't let you do it.

And you can give me back mine now, too.

Miss, stand back, please. Log this into evidence.

-[Lady Mae] No, stop... -Yes, sir.

I don't know what this is about,

but if it involves James Greenleaf,

it does not involve me.

You must be the First Lady.

She's the pastor now.

And an ex-wife, free and clear.

Your name's on the warrant as well.

[under breath] What...?

Grace.

Grace, where is your father?

He's right there. They won't let him

back into his office until they're done.

Are you-- I-- Please.

[Grace] Hey, Mama, please--

[Bishop speaking indistinctly]

Get off the phone!

Get off!

I'll call you right back. If it happens, call me immediately.

What is the matter with you?

I'm taking care of this, Mae. I'm solving it.

-No. -Yeah, I'm solving it.

-Divorcing you wasn't enough! -You back off--

I'm handling it.

Now, there's been some kind of misunderstanding.

I am doing everything I can to cut ties with you,

everything, but your sin and your stupidity,

you're going to drag me right down

into the fiery pits of hell with you,

and I'm not gonna let it happen!

I'm not gonna let you do it! I am not!

-[whispering loudly] They're taking everything. -And you have no responsibility

-in this at all? -None.

[cell phone ringing]

Pastor Greenleaf, good morning.

Councilor Garner, how soon can you get down to Calvary?

[Lady Mae in background] You don't get it!

As soon as I need to, why?

Take it to your office, please.

All right!

I need your help.

Here's what the Feds think happened,

from what I've been able to piece together.

Jacob transferred $200,000 of church funds

into what turned out to be a personal account.

All right, first of all,

I didn't transfer any money anywhere.

I didn't do that.

Tasha, she's the one--

Son, son, let the man talk.

[Elliot] And then you, Bishop Greenleaf,

so they think, withdrew all those funds

and used that as a down payment to the IRS.

I did not such thing.

Rochelle set me up with an investment.

Let the man talk, Pop.

Did you withdraw $200,000

from that account, sir?

Yes, um...

Yes, I did.

But this is my account.

That is the same account

that Jacob deposited Triumph's money into.

[Bishop] No, no, no, no.

This is an investment account--

a church-based crypto-currency investment account.

There is no such account, sir.

And how you could ever think there would be

-is just stupid. -Watch it!

Um, my money manager, Rochelle Cross,

installed an app on my phone

that allows me to check my balances

every day as it comes in.

I'm getting a-- an error message here.

Watch it, Pop.

And you opened a bank account you don't even know about!

[Jacob] And you spent money that--

You spent money that doesn't even belong to you!

Both of you just stop it.

Both of you got played by these women,

and both of you put this family in jeopardy.

Not to mention the faith of thousands of innocent people

if we don't disprove this.

Uh, what can we do, Mr. Garner?

For now, just wait.

They obviously staged this raid

to send a message to other churches.

And if what you all are saying

about these women is true,

we'll figure it out.

There's always a digital trail.

I'm finally on the verge

of taking control of this church,

and by the time I do, there...

there won't be any church left.

Do you know how many demons were on my tail

when I leapt over Jordan into my blessing?

Mae, this is how Satan works:

Right when God's about to bless you,

He bites.

When can put together a brand new

PowerPoint presentation.

You can re-write the sermon,

and I bet it'll be better than the one you had.

[Karine over intercom] Pastor Greenleaf?

Lionel Jeffries on line one.

[¶¶¶]

Call back, please.

Have you talked to Grace yet?

[Agent Dulles] And make sure those are unpacked the minute we get back.

-Agent Dulles? -Miss, you'll get your computer back as soon

-as we copy what we need. -No, it's not about my computer.

[sighs]

OK, so what can I do for you?

You have the whole rest of my life

in your hands right now.

Will you just let me explain, please?

Thank you.

[Grace] Why isn't she taking any of your calls?

-Why is this website gone now? -[knocks on door]

[Grace] Hey...

Hello, Darius. Hello, come in.

-[Darius] Hey, sweetie. -[Grace] Hey.

-You heard what happened. -Yeah, from my boss, actually.

You got a second?

Go...

[Grace] Yeah...

How can you come to me with this? I thought we had a deal.

Our deal was that I wouldn't cover Calvary

as long as we were together,

and I'm not covering the story.

No, but you're a source, right?

That's why you're asking me

all these questions, because you're a source.

Because my editor asked me to be.

And the only reason you're not really covering this story,

is because your paper will not let you

due to a conflict of interest you wish you didn't have.

This has nothing to do with our deal.

All I'm asking you to do

is confirm a few facts,

which will come out anyway.

The facts...

are that Rochelle James and Tasha Skanks,

probably with Basie,

have conspired to wreck my family, my father--

You know all this.

Can you prove that?

When I can, I'll let you know.

Just say what you have to say.

[scoffs]

Have you ever heard the expression

"PK," Agent Dulles? Pastor's Kid?

-I have, as a matter of fact. -OK, well, it's not a joke.

It's a very real thing.

Because when you grow up in church with so many eyes on you,

so much expected, it feels like you're walking a tightrope.

I can't imagine the pressure.

Well, that's why a lot of PK's

do silly things sometimes, just to break free.

And why are you telling me this?

Well, a few years ago,

I had some pictures taken.

I thought I wanted to be an actress for a hot second,

and I let a boy take pictures.

Nothing too serious,

but my mother handled it, had to pay him,

and the whole thing went away.

Those files are on your computer?

No, they're on hers.

So if you could please

just get me five minutes with her computer.

Just five minutes.

I don't want anyone to see those photos,

especially somebody like you--

someone so virtuous and upright.

I'll have to speak to my supervisory special agent.

Excuse me.

Looking for Grace, Pastor?

Yes. Do you know where she is?

No, she left a few minutes ago,

but said she'd be back before going home.

I can let her know you came by.

That'd be fine, thank you.

[Jacob on speakerphone] All I'm sayin' is,

the FBI just rolled in here

asking all kind of questions, right,

and I just feel like the only person who can answer

all those questions is you.

Tasha? Hello?

Don't hang up on me.

I just don't know what to say.

I know you opened that account.

I know you took the money.

But I also know that you couldn't come up

with that by yourself.

Basie put you up to that?

Basie's gone.

Rochelle, maybe, I don't know.

But whatever and whoever it is,

you have got to come clean and tell the truth!

Look, I promise

I won't press charges,

but you got to help me out here.

You gotta get me out of this jam.

[mouthing words]

-I've told you what I know. -Tasha!

I don't know nothin' about no secret account

or nothing like that.

I don't.

OK, OK.

OK, Tasha.

[whispering] Tell her you love her.

Tell her. Do it.

Tasha...

Tasha, I love you.

Told you.

[dial tone]

Basie, I-I don't know what he's thinkin'.

You don't?

'Cause I think I do.

Hey, Cameron wanted barbeque from DBA. You good with that?

[ scoffs]

I mean, I can get sushi, too.

You know what? Actually, don't worry about it.

I got mad dudes comin' to the studio

to bang out this record.

You can just hang here, order in.

I always come to the studio with you.

-Why, you don't want me to come? -Of course.

It's just sometimes, you be sittin' over there

lookin' bored out of your mind.

-I feel bad. -I'm never bored out of my mind.

You know what?

Um, here, take this.

Go get your nails done, on me, all right?

Chill out. I'll see you when I'm back.

[cell phone chimes]

OK.

[chuckles]

Hey, can you get me that bottle out of the cabinet?

Now?

Here. Have fun. Kill it.

[Isaiah] OK.

See you later.

[door closes]

Grace, what a surprise.

I didn't expect to see you in my office.

Don't tell me, Coralie doubled back and took the deal--

I want you to cut the crap, Rochelle.

I'm sorry, have I done something--?

I know you're Basie's half-sister.

OK.

Is that a crime?

No. But it does give you motive.

-Motive to do what? -To set up my father.

Make him pay for the death of your father.

[scoffs] Are you insane? You are.

That crypto-currency investment website

you had my father go into is a dummy.

It never existed.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

-Crypto-currency what? -The FBI raided Calvary

this morning, Rochelle. Please, stop acting like

-you don't know what's happening. -Then stop acting like you do!

Grace, I have endured

your paranoid PTSD bullshit for months

with patience, out of respect for your father.

Now, I literally have no idea what you're after here.

Your father hasn't mentioned any of this to me, nothing.

The FBI, nothing!

Now, last night, in your father's bed,

I professed my love to him,

-and he did the same. -That's a lie.

And he talked to me in earnest about the future,

with me at his side in the church and in his home.

-Everything you say is a lie! -You know what, Grace,

I know I can never be a mother to you,

but should your father and I decide to marry,

maybe I can be your sister if you let me.

But you've got to let go of this mania.

It's not of God.

[scanner beeps]

You can't possibly think

that remaining in the pulpit at this point

is best for the church, can you?

I think that with Mae

about to fan her feathers and fly off,

continuity in the pulpit would be a, a sign of hope.

Or a sign of a deeply tin ear.

Mae's name is on that warrant too, Connie.

I'm not here lobbying for Mae.

What are you here for, Connie?

-Because this-- -I'm giving you fair warning...

that I've called an emergency meeting

of the deacon board to discuss your removal.

And who will you get to preach here?

I've reached out to Phil DeMars

of the Harmony & Hope Ministries.

He'll be here next week to visit

and talk about some candidates.

Calvary is an independent church,

and I will never let it become a part of any denomination.

Full stop.

The faith of this congregation has languished long enough

under the shadow of your eccentricities.

We need light, accountability,

a fresh start.

Thank you, Connie.

Your opinion really doesn't matter.

[¶¶¶]

I can get you a glass if you want.

Here...

I'll take that--

[plate slams on counter]

-Don't do that. -Don't do what?

Don't play act like you're the good little wife,

and now you know I know it ain't like that.

-Don't. -I didn't do anything wrong.

I was out there, every night,

on the road or in some flop house,

trying not to get my ass killed.

Praying to God,

beggin' Him to put you in my dreams

just so I could see your face,

and the whole time, you...

lovin' on Jacob Greenleaf.

How many times do I have to tell you,

nothing happened!

And even if it did, which it didn't,

you had me thinkin' you were dead.

Tasha, I kept my existential status a secret

to protect you,

in case someone came looking for me asking questions.

[plate clatters on counter]

Well, you told Rochelle.

Look, I knew it wasn't gonna be easy,

but I figured, it only gonna be a couple of months,

it ain't like Tasha gonna find someone new that fast.

Well, it turns out you're faster than I thought.

No, I'm not. You have to--

-[Basie flinches] -[Tasha gasps]

-I said don't. -[Tasha shudders]

I don't trust you no more.

-What? -And to be perfectly honest,

I don't know how I'm gonna ever trust you again.

Basie, what...?

[cell phone vibrates]

Yeah?

[Basie] What's up, Ro'?

Darling, do you know where the bishop is?

Karine said he's down in storage.

-OK. -Your mother's looking for you.

[scoffs, laughs]

Of course she is. Thanks, Darlene.

We'll get through this, won't we?

If you say yes, I'll believe you.

I don't know.

It don't matter what Grace Greenleaf knows,

or thinks she knows.

If you and Tasha did like I said, Ro',

we home free.

We got all those Greenleafs,

take 'em down and their churches.

I signed it.

I don't remember when, but...

that is my signature. Damn.

[sighs]

Oh, well, it's a good thing I didn't quit my job,

because we are done here, Jacob.

We're done and we barely got started.

[cell phone ringing]

Who is that?

It's Tasha.

Hey, Tash.

I wanna get outta here tonight

and be across the border by tomorrow.

Can you meet me tonight?

Yeah, of course.

-Where? -I'll text you the spot.

Jacob, I'm scared.

Hey, don't-don't worry, all right?

It's gonna be OK.

I hope so.

She wants to meet.

What's that look for?

You care for her.

I do not.

Yes, you do.

I care about saving this family,

and our church.

Pops, too.

And you care for her. I can see it.

OK. You know what,

I'm not having this conversation.

I'm not gonna have it,

'cause it makes no sense.

[slams drawer shut]

We'll have to round up all those old photographs

and scan them again.

Is there time to do that?

It took weeks to get those biddies

to hand over those photos in the first place.

We'll get what we can.

[phone ringing]

-Well, I will get it. -[Karine chuckles]

Hello. Pastor Greenleaf.

[Aaron on phone] Mae, it's Aaron Jeffries.

Aaron, would you please tell your father that I'll be--

He's dead, Mae.

He just passed.

[scoffs]

Well, I-I'm so sorry to hear that.

Yeah, they started him

on a new chemo medication,

he had a bad reaction,

and his system just couldn't handle it.

I just thought you'd want to know.

Well, Aaron, your father

was a good man, and he had a good life

-and you have every reason to be proud. -[knocks on door]

-Thank you for saying that, Mae. -You're looking for me?

So, so we'll talk soon, I'm sure.

OK. Bye.

Bye, now.

You wanted to see me?

Um, yes, I...

I just wanted to say

that I know it was presumptuous

and infantile of me how I snapped this morning.

I was just in such a state.

Well, I think we all were.

Well, that's it.

I'm sorry.

[under breath] OK.

Uh...

Apology accepted.

Carine, please, now, give me a moment.

Of course.

And hold all my calls, please.

[¶¶¶]

Bishop?

How can I help?

Tell me the truth.

Always.

Did you sleep with Rochelle last night

and tell her you loved her?

-No! -'Cause that's what she told me.

Where you goin'?

To settle this once and for all.

-¶ Change ¶ -¶ Change ¶

-¶ Whoo, I've changed ¶ -¶ Change ¶

¶ Change ¶

-¶ Ooh, I've... ¶ -¶ Change ¶

¶ I'm so glad He changed me ¶

¶ Changed my walk ¶

¶ Whoo-oo Changed my talk ¶

[vocalizes]

Oh, Maxine, that's beautiful.

Ooh, thank you, honey.

So what did she say?

What did who say?

Grace. What did she say?

[scoffs]

Maxine, I no longer have to talk to Grace about it.

Lionel died.

When did he die?

This afternoon.

Oh, OK, uh, Antoine, sound was perfect, darling.

Are you OK?

Yes, yes. I don't know what I am.

But you still have to tell Grace.

Why?

I told you, I don't know if this man is the father.

Why would I put our family through that?

Because you have to.

Because you're about to ascend into the role

God made you to play.

And if Satan has any hooks in you to pull you back down,

he's gonna use them.

And who do you think you are

to tell anyone else about the truth?

Look at yourself.

You can't tell your own daughter

who her daddy might be.

-Can't admit who you are. -Can you just--

Is that the voice you want to hear

every Sunday morning in your head?

This sissy stuff you're pulling, that's for men.

Women speak, they tell the truth.

The future might be female,

but it will only be fantastic

if women tell the truth.

Otherwise, it's just gonna be more theft and secrets

-like every time that came before. -[woman] Miss Patterson?

Uh, tell Gloria I need a hot rock massage

and that cocoa nip tea.

Here you go.

[R&B music playing on phone]

[woman on phone video] Look it, bae.

So serious? Heh.

Hey, what you hiding for?

[laughs] What's that?

What you doing?

-What's goin' on? -Nothin'.

-Oh... -[woman laughs]

[¶¶¶]

He said he had to talk to his supervisory special agent,

and he never came back.

-Carlton, I'm just worried-- -[knocks on door]

[whispers] Oh shoot, he's here.

Hey.

I'm sorry if I was out of line.

You weren't.

But if the files are not related to the case,

turns out they can be requested.

-So I can have them? -Yes, ma'am.

But...I'm gonna have to take a look at these files

before they can be released.

So you have to see the pictures?

I do.

There aren't any pictures.

I know.

[laughs]

Now, why don't we take a look

at the files you really wanted, P.K.

-[R&B music playing on phone] -[woman laughing on phone]

-What the hell is this? -[woman on phone] Heya.

I told you where I was goin'.

-Is she why I couldn't come? -What you hidin' for?

Team wanted to do a little meet and greet thing.

And I knew it would be packed, all right?

You know the A/C over there buggin', come on.

Are we even really together?

[sighs]

Hey.

Of course we are.

It doesn't feel like it.

Baby, come on.

You know you're my one and only, right?

You know you're my First Lady.

What about her?

She's...a bird.

You're the only one thinkin' about that girl.

Promise.

[¶¶¶]

Come here.

Gimme a kiss.

-Mmm, you smell good. -[both laugh]

There.

What's this?

Your PowerPoint presentation.

And your photos.

Useful enough for you?

[knocks on door]

Hey, stranger.

Oh, and what happened to you?

My father passed away this afternoon.

Aaron, I'm so sorry. Come here.

Is there anything I can do?

Uh, maybe sit down for a minute.

Yeah, sure.

Whatever you need.

This must be so hard.

[scoffs]

It's even harder than you think.

[¶¶¶]

[phone buttons clacking]

[Basie] Brother Greenleaf.

You expecting someone else?

-Where's Tasha? -Where's Kerissa?

How about we worry about our own wives for a minute?

-You've been busy. -How so?

Settin' up me and my pops.

What happened with you and Tasha?

What do you mean?

It's not a difficult question, Pastor. What happened?

What transpired between you and my wife,

in my absence, what happened?

So it must've been something, 'cause "Nothing" takes

about a second to say, and you ain't said it yet.

On the phone,

you said, "I love you."

You meant that as a Christian, right?

Whatever happened was my fault.

I place no blame.

Well, just don't blame Tasha.

I place no blame!

Sin is sin, the world is steeped in it!

All good.

But what happened?

If I go home believin' the worst,

then the worst is what'll happen.

It was just one kiss, brother, that was it.

I'm not your brother, brother.

One kiss. One.

Well, thank you...

for your honesty.

It's more than I can get from her.

But they are the weaker sex, right?

Basie...

It was nothin'.

I can see it was nothin' to you.

But one man's nothing is another man's everything.

Oh, don't worry about texting Tasha no more.

I got her phone right here.

[¶¶¶]

I'm actually gonna be out of the country for a spell,

so I would suggest you sell those...

Rochelle?

I'm gonna have to call you back.

OK. Bye.

James.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you today.

If you can imagine, I got a late start this morning and--

You told Grace we slept together?

I didn't volunteer it. It came up

-when I was defending myself. -But that didn't happen.

-It didn't? -No.

And you know it didn't happen.

Why would you say such a thing?

James, you really don't remember--?

-Why are you doing this? -What are you talking about, baby?

Is this some kind of "man of God,

I don't do that sort of thing" type of amnesia,

'cause I can play along.

Are you Daryl James' daughter?

I am.

So I assume you entered my world from day one,

came on to me, got me to invest all this money,

all with an eye to get back at me.

-Invest what money? -Oh, Rochelle!

Well, you must still be drunk.

-I didn't kill your father! -I know.

My father died in a fire in a church that you owned,

a church that you couldn't pay upkeep on.

Do you think you killed my father?

If I thought that, how could I ever be in love

with you, or do what we did last night?

It wouldn't make sense.

And about the investment,

whatever you meant by that,

I don't mix business with pleasure.

So...I just want everything to be OK--

OK, you got me.

You got me.

But you won't get away with it.

[scoffs] Bitch, I already did.

[uplifting instrumental music playing over speakers]

[chuckles]

Uh, Antoine, can we have less time in between each slide?

-[Antoine] Sure. -And then I think we'll be good.

[Antoine] No problem.

[groans]

[gasps] Oh, God.

Girl...

Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack.

[sighs in relief]

Looks good, Mama.

Thank you.

You know, your sister moved mountains

to save them from the law men.

And how she did that, God only knows.

All right, see you tomorrow.

[kisses]

Aaron Jeffries came to see me.

So you heard that, uh, Lionel passed?

I did.

You know, we torture ourselves

over these little dramas and then...

death sweeps 'em all away like the tide.

It's a shame we don't remember

how, um, small they'll seem in the end.

We'd be more forgiving, I think.

[sighs]

Was Lionel my father?

I don't know.
