- I knew your father quite well.
- You need to stop mourning the person
who was willing to leave you and your child for dead!
- I'm gonna need to look into an abortion.
- You just gotta stay the course, all right?
- [Torrance] I won.
- [Cameran Jr.] I'm not gonna let this house
of cards fall down on you.
- I'll be in touch, killer.

- [Cameran] I'm surrounded by savages.

I knew you'd get your vengeance on these traitors.
Let them all die slow.
- Yes, I told you, my love.
Victory is gonna be ours and ours alone!
- Oh, cut off the hands and the feet, get them outta here.
That's the way they can identify the body.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
And Cameran? The teeth, yeah?
Gotta remove the teeth.
- [laughs] I remember that, I remember, I remember that
when you, just like we do when we was
down there in the islands.
You was good with the teeth.
[Cameran laughs]
Sorry, Lomenia, but maybe you shouldn't
of walked in on this.
That's how it goes.
- You're strong, Cameran.
So strong, so strong.
- Yeah, strong.
Strong.

- Now, son, it's a great thing that you're doing
coming in without being forced,
because it was just a matter of time.
- Look, I don't want no parts of this shit.
You buggin'.
My mama would not be proud.
This shit stops now.
- Well, has been quite the trail of bodies.
Lots of blood spilled unnecessarily, but,
you and me, we can put an end to it now.
- Marina.
Fucking Marina.
She was my baby.
She was my everything, my rock.
She was so smart and deep and intuitive.
She was there for me in my darkest times.
She didn't deserve that shit.
- No, she didn't, not based on
what you told me on the phone.
- Yep, that's him.
- So, he?
He put the gun to your head and then-
- Bitch, I already told you, why the fuck
are you trying to make me repeat myself?
Shit!
- Because this bitch needs to be certain.
- Look...
The motherfucker had his boy put a gun
to the back of my head.
[sighs] And he told me if I didn't...
He told me if I didn't shoot him he was gonna kill me.
I fucking shot him, I killed him.
Fuck!
I fucking killed somebody, I fucking killed somebody.
Oh my god, oh fuck!
- Okay, son, son, son, calm down.
Calm down, relax. Sit, sit, sit.
Everybody gets caught in this vicious world.
Everybody.
But what we really need to know is why he
and his partner were following you.
Why?
And why they wanted to kill these Nigerians.
- Look, lady, I already told you everything I know.
Can I go?
- No, no, no, not so fast.
Not so fast because if he contacted you like you say he did,
then he's got a plan.
We don't have a lot of surveillance on him
and we have none on his partner.
- [Torrance] So what the fuck that gotta do with me?
- Because if he'll reach out to you once,
he'll do it again.
You're gonna need our help.
We need your help, too.
Now I'm gonna run this by the DA,
I'm gonna recommend that you be released
because you came in voluntarily without being forced,
but I need the DA's stamp before I can let you go.
- Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Earlier you mentioned my family.
What else is going on?
- Son, right now you need to be worried about you.
- Fuck!
[Torrance sighs]
- I just can't tell if the hue of these napkins
match the tablecloth.
What!
This wedding has to be one for the centuries,
all the magazines.
I won't have it any other way.
Can't be having mismatched tablecloths
with mismatched color schemes.
- Whatever makes you happy, sweetie.
- You're laughing at me because you make me happy.
- I just can't wait to get outta here, you and me.
- Oh honey, I keep telling you,
I just need to tie up a few little loose ends.
After that, it'll be whatever you want, my king.
- Oh, whatever I want. [doorbell rings]
[Stephanie sighs]
- Okay. [phone buzzing]
[Stephanie sighs]
[light dramatic music]
- I'll let you handle your business,
I have a gunshot wound that just came in.
- Oh.
- I'll be about four hours.
- I know you'll save him.
- Bye. - Bye.
[Stephanie sighs] [light dramatic music]
Well I can tell by the look on your face
you ain't finding shit.
- You seem quite troubled.
I'm aware of your recent stay at the facility.
Is the doctors taking care of you?
- My mind is clearer than it's ever been,
thank you very much.
Now, where the fuck is my auntie?
- I'm beginning to suspect that something grave
has happened to her.
- Well, well, well.
If that's the case, we still have work to do.
I mean, Carissa's still gotta go.
Summer's gotta go.
Oh, and my cousin.
Just for shits and giggles, her too.
[light dramatic music continues]
Dante, he wasn't able to complete his mission,
but there will only be one heir to the throne.
Mine.
- That's a huge amount of risk.
We must renegotiate.
- Well, if you're able to do it,
you can have whatever the fuck you want.
If necessary, I'll even get you a brand new auntie
straight from the church parking lot.
I know what you like, and I got you.
Oh, she was too ambitious anyway.
Eventually we...
My bad.
You would've had to have gotten rid of her.
Thank god for tender mercies.
[birds chirping]
- Now, Mr. Sanders, I'm going to grant you a motion
to dismiss all charges.
I reviewed the indictment, and quite frankly,
I find it nonsense.
Unfortunately, it proves that our judicial system
can indict a ham sandwich for anything.
- [Attorney] Your honor, your honor-
- I've heard everything I need to hear!
You need to allow this man to operate his business in peace.
I'm seeing too many businessmen of his skin color
hauled up here for nonsense.
I'm putting you on warning.
The party's over.
Mr. Sanders, you're free to go.
[gavel bangs]
[ominous music]
[ominous music continues]
- I told you never, don't fuck with me!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jeff! - Never!
I told you not to fuck- - Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff!
What the fuck have you done this time, man?
- Oh shit, I lost it.
I lost it, man.
- What?
- Man, we were playing Speed and he tried to play me, man.
He tried to play me, man!
Oh shit, I lost it!
Fuck, hey man, you think they got some cameras around here?
- No, no, I don't think so.
The owners owe me a favor, I'll get all that taken care of.
You just get the fuck outta here, mate.
Look, you got too much going on,
you're about to be appointed to the bench.
You can't ruin that, man.
- [Jeff] Okay, okay. - Give me that bat.
Get the fuck on outta here! - Oh man, shit!
Man, shit! - Go, go!
[ominous music continues]
- Benny, we're even.
[ominous music continues]
[crickets chirping]
- Thought you might be missing these,
wanna take a trip down memory lane.
- [laughs] I don't ever wanna see or smell that shit again.
Woo!
Not even a grocery store.
- I can't find him anywhere.
I'm afraid the worst, that they...
That they've done something to him.
- Killed my baby Theresa, no reason.
Fucking online, they...
The fuck is that?
- He's trying to make up for his mistakes,
they didn't have to do him like that.
But if they did...
[light dramatic music]
- So what you trying to do?
- I wanna spill blood.
- Just say the word.
You got me out here, so you have my loyalty.
[light dramatic music continues]
- Good.
[light dramatic music continues]
[traffic humming]
[Jupiter sighs]
- So, uh, what's a classy woman like you
doing in a place like this, huh?
- I've been coming here since law school.
Creature of habit, I guess.
- Now I see you keep those, uh, Miss America curves.
- These curves are built by plants
and an obsession to see how many squats
I can do without passing out twice a week.
- You know, maybe if we crossed paths
at a different time, space...
- You never know.
A wise woman once said, "Maybe next lifetime."
- Maybe, and maybe in the next lifetime
we could see Briana Mayfield again.
- And that should ring a bell, why?
- Blasso's been investigating her murder
for quite some time now.
She was pretty reckless with her text messages.
She said she was gonna kill your boy wonder, Sanders Jr.
[upbeat music]
[paper rustling]
- And they shot Torrance instead.
So is she involved?
But what does this have to do with me?
I don't have any knowledge or involvement
in any of these events,
nor do I represent the Sanders family any longer.
- We think that Carissa may be involved somehow.
See, we have surveillance footage of Cousin Sammy's
car driving past the gas station about
a mile from the home the same day that Briana was abducted.
It's nothing concrete, it's just a hunch,
but we're looking to see how all this ties together
and we're on the right trail.
- Well, I hope you find the information you're looking for,
but I can't help you, sir.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I would really love
to get back to my salad.
- Of course. - Yes.
[light dramatic music]
- How do you feel now, Auntie Woman?
Had so much to say.
"Oh, you're ruining my sister's legacy.
Oh, you're weak."
How do you feel now?
Where are you now?
- Thank you, Cameran Senior.
[ominous music]
[static rustling]
Thank you, Cameran, for showing me how to be strong.
Thank you, Cameran, for showing me how to
be a true leader.
[ominous music continues]
- Oh, I almost forgot, they found her body.
Briana Maefield, yesterday.
Yep, she washed up at Silverwood Lake.
'Cause it looks like Cousin Sammy
didn't weigh down that body properly.
And if he killed her, and that's if he did,
your client, Carissa, might have given
the order as a little favor to her hubby's family.
Just a guess.
- You know, when I was younger I was abandoned by my mother.
She had an affair with a married man,
come to find out he was very powerful.
An appellate judge in a Illinois state court.
And she was just a clerk.
Now, back then, that was...
Sweep that under the rug, it was taboo.
So she gave me up for adoption.
- We all got a sob story to tell.
- From house to house until I was about nine years old.
And then a woman by the name of Carolyn Stewart,
she was a professional woman, a single mother,
she told me that she would be my mother,
that she would adopt me.
- So did she?
- Yeah, she did, and I was so excited.
I had my own room, I had my own clothes for once,
and I just remember thinking, "Wow,
now I can heal from this and start my new life.
Now I can know what it means to be loved."
- Well, so that's a cute story, but I do have to go.
So what is your point?
- The first time she punched me,
I just had this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Disappointment.
You see, the picture I had in my mind
did not match my reality.
So I don't want you to be disappointed
by the image you have in your head that's not reality.
Sammy was a psycho killer, a high ranking gang member.
And Carissa?
She's an innocent businesswoman who's trying
to make it in this male-dominated society.
That is my point.
[officer laughs]
- You can dream like hell,
you can think whatever you want of Carissa,
but at some point you're gonna have to accept reality.
You're gonna have to come to grips with the truth.
Your client is a violent mastermind.
I'm gonna close the gap.
I don't want you to be disappointed again.
And, uh, easy on the dressing.
[light dramatic music continues]
[Jupiter scoffs]
- Fuck!
[traffic humming]
- Listen, with your family name,
you would be virtually a shoe-in.
First we get you a condo in the district,
then, well, you probably already have property
in the district, so we run.
- Who woulda pictured it?
Me, a congressman.
US congressman.
- Yeah, it's got a nice ring to it.
The distinguished gentleman from California.
- Well, with my dad's legal battles with the bank
going on, this would be a welcome distraction.
- You have a good heart, Cam.
A heart of gold.
You care about the people and you wanna do what's right.
You wanna make a difference and you will.
- Yeah, I think I will.
Yeah, but it's gonna be a lot of paperwork.
Due diligence and then we've gotta start
dialing for dollars.
Don't forget, your family's name is tarnished,
but we can still spin that in a positive way for you.
It's a good thing that you started separating yourself.
Listen, we can afford no more scandals
to scare the donors.
This is gonna be an expensive race, Cam.
- No, no, no more donors.
I'm gonna fund this thing myself.
Once my dad's BS lawsuit with the bank goes away,
I'm gonna be flush with cash,
so I don't wanna be beholden to anybody.
I don't wanna owe anybody any favors.
Strictly for the people.
- Well, the people's champ.
But you will need some donors.
Just bad politics to keep them outta the party.
- It's good thinking.
You really believe in me, don't you?
- Yes.
Cam Sanders, you...
You are a great man and I'm here for you.
- Cam, I have those lease documents for the warehouses,
thought you should take a look.
- Oh, yeah.
Good.
Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.
[light dramatic music]
[waves crashing] [dramatic music]
[liquid sloshing] [Cameran sighs]
[dramatic music continues]
- Hey.
Where you been, T?
- Wouldn't wanna know, Pops.
- But I do.
- Uh, you seen Auntie Mae?
I need to talk to her.
- She went for a stroll.
- [Torrance] A stroll? Where?
- She went to meet Saint Peters
[laughs] at the pearly gates.
- All right, come on, Pops, let's get you cleaned up.
I really need to talk to you.
- [sighs] Talk.
- Nah, this is a serious conversation, Pops.
- Oh, everything is serious with you kids.
It's always something serious and important
and serious and important.
Wasn't all ever serious and important,
it's time to take care of your old man.
[dramatic music continues]
You, brother and your sister
take everything for granted.
Well, no more.
This ends today.
- Hey, come on, Dad, I'm serious.
I really need to talk to you, it's important.
- Misery and breastfed.
Nigger.
I'm tired of catering.
Get off me.
[bottle clanks]
Tired of catering to all y'all ungrateful selfish needs.
- Dad.
Dad!
- Hey, look, excuse your daddy.
I got to look over some documents
'cause I'm suing your brother.
I'm gonna teach ya.
Teach all y'all mama boys the hard way.
Today!
[dramatic music continues]
- The fuck is this?
Is this a motherfucking tooth?
[dramatic music continues]
[upbeat music]
[upbeat music continues]
[Eileen sighs]
- Relax.
[light dramatic music]
I'm not here to hurt you.
If I was, you'd already be dead.
Coffee, please.
Breathe.
Breathe, sister.
It's okay.
I only want to talk.
- How did you find me?
Auntie Mae, she sent you to kill me, didn't she?
- No, in fact, she's quite concerned.
She wishes no harm to come to you.
She's certain that you would put family matters first.
- I will.
Yeah.
I just needed to get away, it was just way too heavy.
- I put a tracking device on your car,
that's how I found you.
I need to remove it.
- [Eileen] Why?
- Because I believe in you, Eileen, cause and effect.
I don't know what you could've done
to attract such a tragic end that
has been prescribed for you.
- Tragic end?
[hitman hums]
- Sit down.
Please, sit down, sit down.
[light dramatic music continues]
Now, tell me who.
Who would want to hurt her?
Was it your Auntie Mae?
And why?
- So are you sure you're not gonna kill me?
- We've covered that already.
You're safe.
Now, who?
- Um, uh...
The only person that I can think of is Carissa,
and Carissa might be mad because she helped Cameran Jr.
to take over the banking empire.
I don't see anyone else other than that.
- I haven't located Carissa as of yet.
She will make a mistake soon.
I will find her soon.
- I don't know where she could be, I have no idea.
I don't know where she's been staying
since she got outta jail.
- And where are you going?
- I don't know.
I just, I just needed to make sure that it is far.
- I would advise you never return to your family's
neck of the woods, for when you are there
you are among some powerful enemies.
[light dramatic music continues]
- Well, if it was not my Auntie Mae, then who?
Who sent you to kill me?
- I don't reveal my client's identity.
[Eileen scoffs]
- And my cousin, Stephanie.
Am I safe? Please tell me that I am safe.
- As I see it, never return.
[light dramatic music continues]
[Eileen gasps]
[light music]
[both laughing]
- You have blown my mind in more ways than one.
Your beauty matched with kindness and grace is remarkable.
- You know you do not have to say all of that.
This is fun for me, too.
- You remind me of this nation;
beauty matched with kindness and grace.
[light music continues]
We have grown leaps and bounds ever since
we gained our freedom from the European imperialists,
yet we still struggle to emerge from
the pain and suffering, from the lingering effects
of slavery and colonialism.
- Centuries of pain, but we can put an end to it
with a new age of prosperity, with a real casino.
A destination in paradise.
[man laughs] [light music continues]
- Sounds like the brochure.
[both laughing] [hands clapping]
- You are so funny.
- Let's get started with this transfer.
- Cheers to that.
