- [Narrator] Previously on "A House Divided".
- I just want to make sure he's gonna be okay.
- He's our son.
I promise you he's going to be just fine.
- Nobody is gonna stand in the way of my child's birthright.
- Sometimes there are casualties with what we do.
- I'll contact you when the time is right.
- Did you hear the news yet?
The blood under his fingernails
are the perfect match for Cameran Sanders Sr.
- Let's get this son of a bitch off the street now.
- You dead to me, Steph is dead to me, dad is dead to me.
Stop calling me.
- [Woman] If she saw your face, I wouldn't trust that.
- If I were you, I wouldn't leave this island.
- You don't think I see the way you two look at each other?
You don't think I noticed?
- You make this up for her and you kill my father.
- You know, when I was younger,
I was abandoned by my mother.
Now I can know what it means to be loved
and know what it feels like for someone to love me.
[mysterious music]
[Delilah gasping]
- You damn dumbass harlot.
You think you're gonna kill a man of God, huh?
"No weapon formed against me shall prosper,"
the Bible says that.
Your duties on this earth is to please a man
and I will love nothing more than to have my way with you
before I kill you.
But my bones are screaming, this woman is a jezebel,
she is unclean, therefore, do not enter into her
and so I won't.
- You are the filthiest,
you are the filthiest man I've ever met.
- You know what?
Your defiant spirit needs refreshing.
[Delilah gasping for air]
Your rebellion is a spirit of sin
and I will love nothing more
than to hear the wind leave your unclean love,
oh spirit of Delilah!

- We care for these kids here.
I mean, most, if not all of them
have suffered some sort of childhood trauma,
abuse, neglect, you name it.
But this, this is their safe place.
I will, I'll admit, when you gave me a call,
I was surprised.
We're trying to build a rec center for the kids,
fundraising is steady, but lukewarm at best.
- And about how many kids
would you say live here on average?
- Well, occasionally we'll find a family for some of them
but if they stay here till they reach the age of 18,
then we try and see 'em off to college.
You know, we're usually pretty good about that
so I'd say about 300 or so.
- And are you still part of a national network?
- Oh yes, yes.
Between our sister facilities,
I'll say we serve about 6,000 kids on any given day.
- Wow, God what you're doing here is truly God's work.
- We try to give these kids as close to a real chance
as they're gonna get, you know?
Most of them, what they need most,
more than a roof over their head or food to eat is love.
That's it, these kids need love.
Oh no, I know you said you'd potentially be a donor,
but I didn't think you were ready now.
- Oh, no, no, please, please don't open it while I'm here.
Just make sure it helps all the kids.
- Of course, thanks.
- God and be blessed.
Stay strong and let the kids know
that God really does hear their prayers.
- Thank you.
- [Jupiter] Thank you for all you do.
- [Woman] Jupiter, am I reading this right?
- [Cameran] Take a shot.
Come on, Torrance, take a shot.
- Nah, I'm good.
- What's up?
- Look man, I've dedicated my entire life to this game,
all the hours upon hours upon hours I put in,
the blood, sweat and tears.
You was there.
And what I got to show for it?
Not a God damn thing.
- You know there's a room full of trophies,
medals and accolades that say different.
Yeah, you did not make it to the NBA,
but you learned a lot of lessons along the way.
You take those lessons with you anywhere you want to go.
So take the lesson, move on.
- You know what?
You right about one thing, big bro,
I do need to move on.
I need to move on from this game,
I need to move on from my family,
and I'mma carve out a piece of life for myself
'cause I ain't built like y'all, bro.
- You are definitely built like us.
- No, I'm not.
- Torrance, you are a competitor.
You won't take no for an answer, that's a Sanders man.
- Look bro, I ain't no fucking Sanders man.
I got standards and morals,
and above all else, I remember what mom taught me.
I'm no fucking Sanders man.
- Hey, I know you took some losses.
We all took some losses, I took some big ones,
but I'm about to be a US congressman.
We won.
We are billionaires, we won.
Now ain't the time to walk away.
So now you can help people.
You wanted to help people?
Let's help people.
[Torrance scoffs and laughs]
- Help people?
Is is that what you call this, helping people?
Honestly, I don't think anybody needs our kind of help.
All we do is fuck up everything
and everybody around us gets hurt.
- Yeah, sometimes people get hurt,
but you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
We have work to do.
What are you gonna do?
- What I'mma do?
I'm gonna make this right for mom.
Sanders men.
- Okay, there.
I've paid you.
Now we have attorney client privilege, correct?
- But of course.
- Good.
Now I don't have to kill you.
You saw my face.
Things around here are far deeper than what I thought.
I underestimated the level of internal conflict
within this family, way too messy.
I have to eject myself from this ecosystem.
- Myself as well.
- We could use your services back in the shire.
[Jupiter giggles]
- Well, I think it's time for me to ride off into the sunset
and start my second career.
- [Man] What might that be?
- Mmm,
kindergarten teacher.
- Of course you would say that.
- Well, I assume before you eject,
you will cover all of your tracks, hmm?
- Without question.
[Jupiter sighs]
- [Carrisa] Hi.
- [Mother] It's so good to see you again.
- [Carissa] You too, thank you.
- Elijah, look who's here.
- Miss Carissa.
- Hi.
- I'll let you two have a second.
Elijah, tell her about your A in math.
- Let's play, let's play.
- Let's play?
No, wait, wait, wait, hey, hey, hey.
What about this A I'm hearing about?
- Oh, I got an A in math.
- You got an A in math?
That is awesome, Elijah, really good.
- Are you staying for dinner?
It's spaghetti and meatballs.
- I wish I could, but I have a lot I have to do
so I just came here to say goodbye.
- Goodbye?
- Yeah.
Hey listen, whatever you do, whatever you do in life,
watch who you trust and never be afraid to love.
Okay, never be afraid to love
and never be afraid to love hard.
You got it?
All right, can I have a hug?
Thank you.
- [Elijah] You're welcome.
- [Police Officer] What you're doing, it's a noble thing.
- [Police Officer] I know it's scary
but it's the right thing to do.
All units stand by.
He's coming out.
- Fuck me.
[Torrance breathing heavily]
Fuck!
All right, this is it.
[Torrance breathing heavily]
- T, I am so elated that you called.
I'm so happy that you reached out
so a father and a son,
we could work out our differences.
- Yeah, I thought we could work on things.
If you can give me some truth and some clarity,
we can move on.
- Well let's just have a drink first.
- Cool, let's.
I need one.
- The poll numbers are looking promising.
You are in solid fourth
with a rising trajectory with black women
and that's what we need to win.
- My mother always said, you get the women's attention,
you got the world's attention.
- Well you certainly got this queen's attention.
- I'm gonna win this election.
I'm gonna put what's left of my family back together again.
And I'm gonna be the savior of this family
my mom always said I could be.
- To you.
- All things, fears, beliefs, hopes,
all things,
love,
love never fails.
- I won't ever leave you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
- Hey, I don't know about you, but I am a starving Marvin.
I heard this place has got the best Jack Daniel's Shrimp-
- Dad, dad, I'm only here to get the truth.
Now tell me, have you killed anyone?
- How could you ask me that?
- So who's tooth was that?
- I don't know.
- I knew you was gonna say that.
Look dad, I know about it all.
I know about everything that's been going on.
I'm only here to give you another chance
to actually tell me the truth.
I need to know that you respect me enough
not to look me in my face and lie to me.
Now tell me the fucking truth.
Have you or haven't you killed anyone?
- T, look.
- Come on, dad.
- You wouldn't understand, kid.
- I thought we was family.
You owe me the truth, old man.
- Who are you
to try and judge me?
Everything that I did, I did it for you.
I did everything for you.
You were driving a Mercedes G-Wagon
into your high school parking lot.
You live by the ocean.
You have the best medical care.
You've got the prettiest girls.
You have it all.
And you question me?
I did what I had to do
to protect my family.
I wanted to be a great baseball player.
Your grandfather was Satan in a tuxedo.
And I can't stop and live my life
'cause I have to constantly clean up his transgressions.
But, at the same time, those transgressions
is what got you those soft leather seats
in your Mercedes-Benz.
So now you question?
No.
I can't tell you the truth
because it'll make you one of us.
I want different for you, son.
Yes, I'm a killer,
but you are a giver of life.
- You know, mom used to always say that
in life we make our own choices.
You always go on and on about how grandpa was Satan.
So I guess that makes you the antichrist then, right?
Pure evil through and through.
You're not my father.
[door opening]
- [Police Officer] Cameran Sanders,
you're under the arrest for the murder of Peter Trudeau.
Put your hands behind your back.
[dark music]
- [Cameran] I love you, son.
[dark music]
- Well okay, Miss Fernando Rios.
- Fernando Rios.
- Don't you ever answer to Carissa again.
You got me? - I got it, got it.
- Okay.
Now in this document's gonna be your new identity,
your passport, your bank statements.
And please don't ever be cute
and try to enter US territory again.
- I have so much I'm going to miss about this place
that they we all take for granted.
- Well, it's just gonna be a new life, you know?
But there's some pluses.
Your blood pressure will go down.
- Why?
Why'd you do all this for me?
- Well, you're my client.
That's my job, no other reason.
Well, if you want to be great at what you do,
you have to take it seriously, don't you?
- You know what I've done.
- And lucky for you, I'm not the judge.
That's not my job.
- Well then I guess this is goodbye.
- Hold on.
Someone told you a long time ago
that you have to eat what you kill
and that's very narrow minded thinking.
You can also plant what you eat and reap what you've sown.
Just think about it,
Miss Fernanda.
- What's up, man?
I'm here alone, no cops.
Now what the fuck do you want?
Why are you doing this to me?
- Uh uh.
I'm not the one doing this to you, hmm?
All right, I'd like to get this over with.
- Yep.
- Don't fucking move.
Carlyle Winters, you're under arrest.
[gunfire blasting]
- What the fuck?
What the?
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
What the fuck just happened, man?
Wait man, stop.
Please don't.
She's still breathing, look.
Please,
don't do it, man, let her go, please.
- Desperation makes fools of us all.
- Wait, please.
[Torrance sighs]
[Torrance breathing heavily]
- Yeah.
- Fuck!
- Yeah.
This is a real teachable moment, ain't it?
- Carlyle, do you copy?
You're clear, make it quick.
- We are clean, no cops, let's bug out.
- I hear you've been cleaning house with the old man.
Yeah, how'd I know that, hmm?
How'd I know that?
- Dirty fucking cops.
- Dirty fucking cops that I own.
No backup tonight.
Look at me.
Hey, look at me!
Who can you trust, hmm?
Who can you fucking trust?
- Nobody. - Nobody.
- You can't trust anyone.
- No uh uh, ain't that the truth?
- Look man, what the fuck do you want from me?
Spit that shit out
'cause this is getting redundant, yo.
- You want this to go away?
You want it all gone, all this?
Is that what you want?
- Yes, yes!
- You want the end?
- Yes!
- This is filled with dummy accounts and offshore holdings
and all I need you to do
is to open up an account here in the US of A,
hit a few buttons, turn a blind eye, make a little money.
Come on.
- And then what?
That's it, I'm done?
I never have to see your fucking face ever again?
- And then you and I are silent fucking partners.
Understand?
Let me hear it.
- Yes, I fucking understand.
Fuck.
- Come on.
- Fuck.
- See you around, killer.
- Fuck.
[gunfire blasting]
Fuck.
- As America works to maintain its position in this world
as the undisputed leader of the world order,
I know that we can find within oureslves the resolve
to clean up our own house,
we can find within ourselves a solution
to the disputes in our own American family,
all while standing tall
on the promises that made this nation great.
Thank you, I am Cameran Sanders, Jr.
I am asking for your vote in these primaries
'cause it's been too long.
[crowd cheering]
- [Man] Too long, too long, too long.
[audience cheering]
- Great speech, Cameran.
- Oh, great, great, thank you.
- We've got a couple more donors to smooch so
I think you need to do that next-
- I got to get this text message.
- Where you going?
- Time is limited.
Hey Brit?
Brit?
You wanted to talk.
Brittany?
Glad to see you made it finally.
- It's the big man.
It's the congressman.
- It's not just for me, I'm doing it for all of us.
- All of us?
Of course, of course.
We all need our egos stroked.
We all need to accomplish so many things
so that we can conquer everything,
to make ourselves feel we're worthy.
We need to treat people as things to be conquered.
We even need to conquer a whole country.
- You know, I actually thought you would be happy for me,
happy for us even.
- I'm happy.
I sacrificed everything.
I've lost things,
I've lost people,
and I've lost parts of myself that I held dear
chasing a dream.
But then I realized it wasn't even my dream.
I lost myself helping you achieve your dream.
And the more I help you conquer, the more I'm defeated.
- There's more to it than that and you know that.
Brittany, we're bringing a child in this world together.
- Remember, I told you I was happy
because this child is the heir to your fortune.
So I'm happy for him and I'm happy for me
'cause my sacrifices won't have been made in vain.
I'm also happy for you.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Why are you happy for me?
- Well...
[Cameran grunting]
[gentle music]
- Now T, you did the right thing.
Honey, there is no place for that brand of insanity
in our plans moving forward for our family.
The man had become unhinged.
- I don't know, sis.
This shit has got me all fucked up on the inside.
Like that's dad at the end of the day.
I just don't know if I did the right thing or not.
You think mom would've been happy or upset?
- Mom?
[Stephanie laughs]
When I was a little girl,
couldn't have been any more than five,
mom took me to the supermarket in the hood.
Why?
I don't know.
But as she was shopping, I saw a shiny red lollipop
and I just had to have it and I begged for it
and she said no.
You know mom never said no.
And I'm like, it couldn't be the money.
Look where we are.
But she said no.
More than three times, she said no.
So as soon as I got the opportunity, she turned her back,
I slid that shiny red lollipop into my pocket.
We were halfway down the PCH headed home
when mom hit a bump and that lollipop fell out of my pocket.
You know what mommy did when she saw it on the floor?
- She probably beat that ass.
- No before that.
She whipped that car right around on the PCH,
you know this was before there was cement partitions
so right in the middle of highway
like a Charlie's Angels,
like she was in
one of those "Fast and the Furious" movies
and took me all the way back to that supermarket,
made me go back in, ask for the manager, apologize,
and tell her I had stolen from their store
all while she stood in the doorway.
Then, she suggested that I pack groceries
for the rest of the night.
- Damn.
- I mean it couldn't have been any more than 15 minutes,
but it felt like a lifetime.
I must have cried so hard my eyes swelled shut.
I couldn't even see those groceries.
- Then she beat that ass.
- Yes.
But that beating didn't hurt half as bad as the humiliation.
I'll never forget that day
and I never stole again.
- Yeah mom was something else.
- She taught me a lesson that day.
She said, "Stephanie, there are some things
you will need to learn on your own,
that every decision you make has a consequence
that no one can shield you from."
Only wisdom can shield you.
But the thing about wisdom, T,
is it's only gleaned through hindsight.
So don't be one of those smart guys,
too arrogant to listen to the wisdom of your elders,
particularly your big sister.
- What's this?
- [Stephanie] I just secured you a very sexy job offer.
- A job?
- [Stephanie] A job, yes.
- Oh wait, hold on.
I hope it's not an office job
'cause I can't do that again.
- I know you, I am not daddy.
[Stephanie laughs]
- Dubai?
- As an assistant coach in the UAE Basketball League.
- Holy shit.
- Who knows?
Today's assistant coach is tomorrow's head coach.
Maybe you make it into the league from another direction,
running shit.
- Oh my God.
- Just like a Sanders man.
- Oh my god.
Oh my God.
- Did I do good?
- Oh my God, sis.
Oh my God, thank you, I love you so much.
Oh my.
- Not as much as I love you.
- Oh my God.
Holy shit.
- It's about to get very savage around here baby,
uglier than ever before.
So I need you far away and safe.
[Torrance sighs]
Toast?
- Yeah, I need a drink.
[gentle music]
- [Mama Sanders] You are my daughter.
You were raised to be a hustler.
You know the difference between right and wrong.
When you move, you move swiftly, like a lioness.
You are not to be fucked with.
And also built to be loved unconditionally.
You ain't no average bitch.
You're my daughter.
You will forever be that bold, courageous, dynamic woman
that I raised you to be.
