- Previously on "Saints & Sinners"... - Help! - Josie!
Why didn't you tell me the kidney was coming from Christie?
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
What's there to forgive?
[Kendrick] I would've gave you whatever you wanted! All you had to do was ask me.
All this belongs to me Kendrick. Get out!
It's okay. The paramedics are on their way.
- Okay? - My baby... [Sobbing]
Josie...Jo... Josie!
Oh hey, wait wait. Were we, were we followed?
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nobody knows that we here.
- Oh my god. - Got no where to run old man.
[Gunshot] You ready to do this?
Yep. 'Cause I ain't got a damn thing to lose.
Why you being so shy?
Just wanna talk.
Nobody gotta get hurt tonight.
Okay I'm lyin'.
Somebody's definitely gon' get killed tonight.
Rex, what we gon' do?
Follow me.
Damn Rex, you got everything.
[Dramatic Music]
We done playin' with his ass.
I want every exit covered.
Every window. Nobody gets out of that house alive, you understand me?
Y'all go over there.
Y'all get that side.
No second thoughts Jabari.
I could make it sweet for you. I could take Ella,
kill the man that killed your father.
It don't really matter to me.
Loosen' up man.
I got Rex.
My man.
Guess I got Ella.
Come on, let's get it.
[Intense Music]
Boss, they're gone.
They got a panic room or an annex or somethin'?
Nah, I ain't never been here before, but in Rex's other safe houses he has tunnels.
- Well there's a passage way that's leading out from the cellar. - Then why are you still here?
'Kay.
'Bari, you bet not be playing with me man.
Y'all keep running through them tunnels like the rats you is, Rex!
You know I'm gon' find yo' ass!
- How much further Rex? - We almost there. Watch that.
- Who's that? - That's help.
- Mom! - Oh, hey baby. - Get in.
Let's go.
Let's go Kendrick.
* Gon', lift your hands give God the praise
* I fell so hard aye, lost my faith in God aye
* I couldn't even pray so I say,
* We're just sinners saved by grace
Thank you for the gift my dear.
Leona please. Don't do this.
Don't let him do this.
- Don't-- - Now, Christie, Christie...
We all have to make sacrifices.
He will kill me! Please Leona.
Don't worry about that.
Soon you'll be at peace.
And all the pain and turmoil you've been dealing with
all these years will be over.
Rest now.
You've been holding out on me Damian.
- The compound I need? - It's finished.
How? You hadn't completed it when you were locked away.
I don't need a lab to complete my work Leona.
Your granddaughter saw to that.
So Christie found the solution?
No, but she isolated the variables
that allowed me to hone in on the proper makeup of the compound.
That's needed to combat the rejection of a transplant.
For your unique condition.
Yes. [Snickering]
You mentioned forgiveness.
Yes.
If we're going to work together, I need to know I can trust you.
We've already made so many strides together so far.
Leona, I've done everything you've asked me and so much more.
Give me the compound.
I've seen what you can do.
I've seen the miracles you've made.
Together we'll turn water into wine!
The world is truly our oyster.
This is the full makeup of the compound.
I'll walk you through it once we've successfully extracted the kidney.
Thank you.
But that's not needed.
Levi! Now!
I fixed you.
I made you whole again.
[Grunting]
That's the problem Doc.
I was never broken.
He's not breathin'.
Think he's dead?
[Quiet Sobbing]
[Dramatic Music]
[Monitor Beeping]
Paige?
- Help! Help me, somebody help! - Shut up!
- My baby! Help! - Shut up! Your baby's fine.
But you won't be if you keep hollering.
Good.
Now calm down.
- What happened? - Someone almost out you out of your misery.
It was a car accident.
Tamara called Jabari and told me to wait here.
I rushed right over to make sure you were okay.
Mhm.
And since we're here,
you're getting a paternity test.
Mhm.
You better pray that baby's Jabari's.
Because if not,
you're gonna wish you died in that car accident.
[Groaning]
Oh!
- Good morning. - Hmm.
You slept like a log.
I don't know how I managed that.
Oh, I just guess I, I feel safe with you Rex.
[Chuckling] Mom and dad, y'all up?
Yeah, come on in baby.
Um, I just got off the phone with Christie, and one of dad's guys is bringing her over.
Wait a minute, what, why are we bringing Christie here?
- I don't want her in danger! - Ella, it's okay.
It's okay.
He's gon' be very discreet.
And think about it, the whole city is looking for you.
And we need all the help we can get.
And besides, I um...
I thought it'd be good for you to see Christie.
You might not see her again for a very long time.
- Yeah. - Thanks.
How are you feeling?
Um, Dr. Lang said there's no additional damage.
Okay.
[Grunting] - Do you--
She's uh, surprised to see me walking around though.
[Chuckling] Yeah, adrenaline will do that.
Yeah, um...
How did we get here huh?
Man I wish uh, I wish I knew.
So many choices that led us to this point.
- Tam, I'm sorry. - Oh, God, no, that's not what I meant.
No, I know the choices you've made.
And, no matter how much they've hurt me,
I know you owned them. And you apologized and,
you were genuine but I... I made so many mistakes,
I mean, with Victor and even with Josie.
I was so set on protecting you,
and trying to make things right.
It's like I had tunnel vision.
I was the only one that could fix it, and the only one that could make sure you got better
and that wasn't true.
Josie was there for you.
Josie wanted to help you, and I shut her out. I pushed her over the edge and-- - Tam.
- Stop, stop-- - No, no, I did this.
It never would've gotten this far if I wasn't so set on just
controlling everything. Josie would still be alive.
Josie died because she crashed her car on a dark road
trying to avoid hitting a pregnant woman.
That's not on you.
Gosh, I just wish I could talk to her, you know.
Fix things.
Me too.
She loved you.
I loved her too.
Look, I know how things escalated at the end.
But that wasn't our her.
That was fear.
I just hoped she died knowing that um,
I saw that.
And I saw her, you know.
And that...
And that she was loved.
Come on.
Let's go see Austin.
- You got it. - Okay.
It's Christie.
Leona, what the hell are you doing here?
Christie told me everything. I just,
needed to make sure you're okay.
Oh really? 'Cause your son is tryna have me killed.
Raymond is not your responsibility, he's mine.
I won't let you face him alone.
So what? Am I supposed to think what, that you're here to protect me?
Because last time you saved Ray Ray.
So how do we know you won't do it again?
Because Raymond is out of control.
And we are all at risk.
Yes, he's my son, but you're...
you're my family.
And I'll do whatever I can to protect my family.
Mm-mm. I don't buy it.
Mom, she's telling the truth.
And I don't understand you.
Why do you defend her when she's brought nothing but chaos to your life?
- She saved my life. - What?
Last night, Dr. Ross abducted me.
He almost killed me.
Leona stopped him.
She and Levi are the only reason I'm still alive right now.
I'm here to help you Ella Mae.
Whether you believe it or not.
Whatever it takes.
[Intense Drumroll]
So how long is this gonna take?
Are you ready to play who's the...
daddy?
Oh no you don't.
Got your bags all packed up.
Almost look like you about to go out of town or somethin'.
Look Ray Ray, I've done everything you asked.
You want the deed to the house, I'll get it for you.
But I can't kill Kendrick.
- I can't. - You can't?
I didn't know this was a negotiation Sapphire.
Don't call me that.
Well first of all, I'll call you whatever I want to call you.
But second of all, you gon' do exactly what I tell you to do, you understand me?
Kendrick ain't his daddy.
He ain't his momma, he don't deserve this.
Since you know my daddy so well,
you know his uh, weapon of choice then?
Hmm?
Look, you gon' call Kendrick,
or my friend here gon' start nailing some things down around here.
So.
[Eery Music]
[Phone Vibrates]
- Hello, who is this? - Kendrick, it's Anna--
- Kendrick don't! - Anna, Anna, hello?
Kendrick, you need to meet me at Monk's by noon.
Otherwise, this will be Sapphire's last dance.
- Don't even think about touching her. - You might wanna hurry up then.
You don't wanna let Stacia die again, now do you?
I'll kill you.
[Chuckles] He'll kill me.
That's so cute.
[Intense Music]
[Ominous Music] Where is Anna?
Where is she? [Grunting]
You don't ask no questions! I'm asking the questions.
- Now where is Rex? - Rex?
You mean the man that practically raised you when nobody else would?
[Grunting]
Don't play games with me man. Where is he?
Your daughter's godfather, that's who you talking 'bout?
[Grunting]
I could do this all damn day.
That man was like a father to you Jabari.
[Grunting]
[Coughing] Man take his ass in the back and tie him up!
You've been on quite the roller coaster.
Haven't we all?
I'm sorry.
In all the chaos Raymond's caused,
I never wanted you caught in the crossfire.
I am not blind to the twisted symmetry.
The child that I raised being targeted
by the child that I didn't.
Let me ask you something.
Do you ever regret giving him up?
All the time.
Everyday.
But we can't be stuck in the past.
We all make choices.
Usually what we think are the best choices at the time.
Do you think that he could've been a different person?
I don't know.
I'd like to think that with some guidance,
he could've taken a different path.
[Chuckling] But look at you.
Okay Leona.
I'm just kidding.
I have caused you so much pain.
I do regret that.
I loved you.
And I wanted to protect you.
But, sometimes it came out in the most distorted ways.
You know, I don't think you
ever truly apologized to me before.
Well I'm running out of time.
And there is no time like the present.
[Grunts] Leona?
- Oh my-- Ella go get Christie. Leona.
- Christie. - Christie!
Christie!
Hmm.
[Sighs] Look like they got you good.
You okay?
I'm fine.
You shouldn't have come here.
You know I wasn't gon' let Ray Ray hurt you.
Now he gon' hurt both of us. Hell, yo' family too.
[Scoffs]
- Don't nobody care if I live or die. - I did.
I know.
[Sighs] Ray Ray asked me to kill you.
Why?
Conning me and stealing everything that belonged to Stacia wasn't enough?
I guess not.
But I couldn't do it.
And you want a thank you for that?
No.
I just...
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
I didn't get it at first.
Like I know what you lost,
but I couldn't feel it.
I wasn't even connected to it.
To Stacia.
I went to your storage room.
I saw your baby's nursery.
It was perfect.
Still all put together.
I saw what you and my sister did.
What y'all were building.
I finally know what you been going through.
And what you been tryna do for me.
I know how to play a role.
You wanted Stacia back. I wanted to give her to you.
But I wanted you Anna.
Look I'm not crazy.
I knew you wasn't Stacia, but it's like,
she sent you to me.
And having you in my life, that's...
just something she would've wanted. I know.
If I could go back and do it again,
I'd be in your life because I want to.
Sorry we can't go back.
Sorry I lied to you.
Hey.
- Turn around. - What?
Why?
I got a plan.
Turn around.
Whew, I'm not hungry, thanks.
Aye come on Ella. You gotta eat something.
I can't. Leona.
Leona is with Christie at the hospital.
And she's being taken good care of.
Now you know damn well you can't kill a vampire without a stake to the heart.
- Rex that's not nice. - I'm just sayin'.
[Phone Vibrating]
- Hello? [Jenkins] Hey pops.
Yeah man, listen...
If you calling to make a parlay, it's way too late.
[Chuckling] - Nah, we definitely done talking.
Just calling to let you know I have Kendrick, and if you don't come down to Monk's
we'll send him back to you piece by piece.
Ray Ray, listen to me,
please don't do anything stupid. I'm, I'm, [Stuttering]
I'm on my way, alright? - I been looking forward to it.
[Slams Phone] Wait a minute,
how did they get Kendrick? I thought he was in the back resting?
- I guess not. - We, we gotta go Rex!
I'm going. You're staying here.
I am not gonna lose my son.
Ella, everybody is looking for you.
Ray Ray, police. I need you to stay safe.
And I can't get Kendrick if I'm worried about you.
Rex, I can help.
Thank you. Okay.
- There you go. - Thank you.
It's just a pillow.
I mean for everything.
You bought me time.
But I...
have to admit, I didn't see it
ending like this. - Oh, no, no, no, Leona.
Don't you give up hope on me now.
We still have Dr. Ross's compound and we can still find a kidney match.
Wasn't that the message when you and grandad started New Greater Hope?
That hope is what sustains us?
You were listening?
Always.
I need you to know.
I'm proud of you.
I know I didn't always show it, but,
you have the capacity for,
compassion and empathy I've never seen.
God knows you didn't get that from me.
Or your mother.
You're helping people.
You found a purpose.
Mm-hmm.
Whether you believe it or not,
That's what I always wanted for you.
She got away. Chrissy, she left.
- Who? Who got away? - Angela.
She skipped out so she wouldn't have to take a paternity test.
I knew that bitch was lying about Jabari being the father.
Okay, okay, well if Jabari's not the father of the child
then the problem's resolved right?
Sure.
If we're gonna move on with our lives,
Jabari needs to be 100% certain the baby's not his.
Otherwise...
he won't move past it.
Let me see that?
It says here Angela's blood and amniotic fluids were drawn for tests.
Right. Chrissy...
I know this is a big ask.
And if I got you Jabari's DNA...
Could you run a paternity test?
[Overlapped Conversation]
I could get fired for this.
Snitches get stitches.
You're good.
Jabari is not the father. [Gasps]
I knew it! Oh my Gosh!
I can't believe it. Man, oh my Gosh.
Ever since Angela's been back, I have not been able to see straight.
I can barely eat, I can't sleep.
I just kept thinking how she was gonna use that baby against us.
Mm. Well now she can't.
I can't believe this nightmare's over.
Mm, not quite.
I mean, Angela needs to know that the baby is not Jabari's.
I mean she may need to track down the biological father.
Oh.
Don't worry. I'll be sure to tell her.
(quietly) Okay.
Hey...
Wait, wait, what's going on?
Paige sit down. Have a seat.
- Wait, I'm just, I'm just excited. - Have a seat.
- About the news. - Have a seat. Mhm.
[Sighs] I feel like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders.
That's all, I'm fine.
You're heart is racing. Just...
lay down.
Lay down.
And I'm probably sure that's all it is.
But let's get you checked out just to be sure.
- Okay. - Okay.
[Door Closes]
Wow.
Quite the partnership I see?
Yeah, lies make people do some crazy things.
Really?
Jabari, your beef is with me man.
Now we can handle this, one-on-one.
Man-to-man. But you need to leave Kendrick out of this.
You taking my son was a bitch move, you know that.
I always thought you were better than that.
I don't care what you think Rex.
You don't have any honor.
And I didn't take Kendrick as bait.
I took him because you had no right to take my father from me.
And now Kendrick is gonna know what it feels like.
But we don't want Kendrick to miss the show, now do we?
'Dre, go grab him out back.
Yo! He gone boss, him and Anna.
Go and find him.
Well, well, well...
what do we have here?
- Where are we going? - I don't know, we got to get somewhere safe
so I can call for help.
Aye, look hold up, hold up, hold up.
(screaming) What are you doing? Come on!
Take one more step and I'll blow your heads off.
- Anna? - Kendrick, I'ma need you to turn around and walk away.
Don't look back.
Anna, what the hell are you doing?
It's fine. It's okay.
Ray Ray ain't gon' kill me.
It's my world and I know how it work.
Just go!
Besides it was just a pipe dream to think we was ever gon' be together.
I wouldn't be so sure he won't kill you.
[Grunting] [Screaming]
Got the nerve to say pipe dream. - I knew you'd get it, so come on!
Come on! Get in!
Hurry! [Anna Screaming]
[Gunshots] [Yelling]
This is the man that killed your father.
He's stolen from you.
It's time to get your revenge brother.
Jabari,
listen to me man.
I know you gotta do what you gotta do.
But before you pull that trigger, you need to know the truth about your father--
The truth is he killed your father.
We ain't got time for all this talk, man, handle your business Jabari.
- What about my father? - Your father, Bishop,
was an informant.
He gave up a whole lot of people Jabari.
And he betrayed everything that he stood for.
He's lying man! Shoot his ass!
Don't listen to him!
You know the streets, you know the code!
What would you have done?
So...so his police record and,
the early releases and the commuted sentences... - Yeah. Yes man.
- Kill his lying ass man, what you doin'? - Man, don't listen to him Jabari.
You know I'm telling the truth.
- My father was a snitch? - Yeah.
Your father was my friend.
- My best friend. - He killed his best friend. He killed your father Jabari.
- Do right by him. - I didn't have no choice in this.
The best thing I could do was take him out
as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
And take care of you.
Like you were my own.
[Grunts]
Hmm. Like your own?
(screaming) Like your own?
Where were you for me, dad?
I should blow yo' damn brains out yo' head. [Yelling]
[Grunting]
[Heavy Panting]
[Quiet Sputtering]
Get a car. Get a car, get a car!
[Sorrowful Music]
Oh God.
[Groans]
Careful, careful, careful.
Careful, you're okay.
Don't want to mess with your stitches.
Stitches?
What happened?
You got your miracle.
You received a kidney transplant.
You'll probably outlive us all.
But how?
Who's the donor?
Your son, Leona.
Raymond was the donor.
He died last night.
[Quiet Sobbing]
Ella Johnson, is a wanted and dangerous fugitive.
Please, call the tip line if you have any information regarding her whereabouts.
Ella, if you're watching this,
you can run and you can hide,
but we will find you
and make you answer for your crimes.
However long it takes.
[Phone Dialing]
[Phone Vibrating]
- D.A. Hayden. - Tony.
It's me.
No need to do all that.
There's no need to trace me.
I'm texting you my coordinates now.
I'm ready to turn myself in.
But please, leave Christie and Kendrick out of this.
- All of it. - Okay.
[Intense Music]
[Police Radio Chatter]
Alright Ella.
It's time.
Come out with your hands up.
Hands up!
Slowly! Slowly walk towards me.
Alright.
Come on Ella. Please, don't do nothing stupid.
Ella!
Hold your fire! Hold your fire.
Ella, you've got 'til the count of ten to surrender.
Or I'm gonna call the order.
Ten, nine,
eight, seven,
six-- [Explosion]
Ah!
Ella!
[Chaotic Music]
Ella!
[Choir Vocalizes]
Hey! What was so urgent? I was with a patient.
But there are so many more souls that can be saved here.
Really, Levi, what was so important?
Peter once asked Jesus,
"how many times is my brother to wrong me
"and I am to forgive him?
- "Up to seven?" - And Jesus responded,
"I say to you, not up to seven times but up to 77 times". - Right.
- You've been reading? - I have, and, it's...
It's given me some enlightenment.
You asked me once if I believed in forgiveness.
Redemption.
[Sighs] To be honest, I um...
kind of lost my way.
You helped me find it.
And what's this?
That is your half of New Hope Baptist Church.
Your family's legacy.
- You deserve it. - What?
I don't understand...why?
A prodigal son, or daughter,
has to come home at some time, right?
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
