- [Narrator] Previously on "A House Divided."
- Hello, young man, what's your name?
- Elijah.
- [Minister] Elijah.
- His mother, my friend, passed.
- [Elijah] I'll get in touch
with child services immediately.
- A whole 150 million, you have it?
- Sitting comfy in my firm's trust account.
- I'll take her home
and I'll make sure she heals inside and out.
- Just when I felt so empty,
you filled me up.
So Mama gotta stay here and take control,
make sure they're still an empire for him to inherit.
- I have a proposition for you.
Watch my baby brother at all times
and make sure that not one hair is touched
on his precious head.
- [Dante] Your father hired me to set up Carissa.
He paid me in crypto and apparently
you're the only one with the codes.
- This all true.
I have the codes.
- All I want is my money.

- I'll double the 100.
I'm a reasonable guy.
- [Cameran] Cameran Sanders.
I'll be in touch, killer. - Go.
Bullshit.
- Boss sends us to LA like some fucking gophers
and then wags his big fat fuckin' finger
bring us back here and we don't know for what.
- What the fuck you want, Carlyle?
We got a problem?
Close the door.
- It's power play that's what.
Just dragging our dicks in the dirt.
- Oh, you think.
Maybe.
- Keep your voice down.
- You keep your voice down.
I'd rather deal with what we have in Reno heading long
than go moonlighting in lala land.
[woman giggles]
- What's the play here, man?
If we don't make a move soon,
we're all gonna take that midnight drive out
into the desert.
- No, shit.
- Look, I'm just telling you.
That's the way these things end up.
[man yells]
Alexis, turn off.
- Carlyle.
Carlyle.
Oh, Jesus, Carlyle.
- Listen, I talked it over
and I'm gonna be running things from now on.
And we're going back to LA.
- [Man 1] Well, he's still breathing, now what?
- I'll get some clean sheets, huh?
- [Man 2] Let's get something to tie his fat ass up with.
- All right.
[dramatic music]
- I said I want to speak to my finance, now!
He's been there all night.
I don't care if he is in surgery.
Pull him out!
Do you think I give a fuck if the person dies?
Well, bitch, you won't, bitch,
did you hang up on me?
You bitch, you stupid bitch!
- Control is an illusion.
It is your finite brain trying to grasp
and wrestle with the fact
that it's completely out of control
and is at the whim and mercy of the universe.
- What the fuck are you talking about,
mister enlightened man?
- You're very childlike in your thinking
and your actions
but the universe can blow you a gust of wind
at any moment and know you off the face of the earth.
Control is an illusion.
- I got control of one thing
and that's the destiny of my family
and I'm gonna control it.
I'm gonna be that motherfuckin' gust of wind.
That's what I'm gonna control.
[door closes]
You made it!
- As the 405 turns.
But I brought pastries.
- Newsflash, I'm pregnant
and I'm trying to eat clean, thank you.
- Well, I'm not and my sugar's low.
Okay, well, on second thought I guess I'll eat clean, too.
Well, you brought us here.
Spit it out.
- He kicked me out of my mother's house, Auntie.
Did he drop the soap and lose his mind?
Did somebody knock him upside his head in jail?
- We are now in control of the finance business.
We are on track with our plan.
Your brother's doing a great job.
- Fuck my brother, fuck his great job.
He's doing a great job at chasing tail.
I don't got time for that.
I have a legacy to protect.
- Okay, don't you get reckless with this now
and blow it.
This is the moment we've been working for.
We're almost there.
- Almost there?
Almost fuckin' there?
When I'm almost there, Auntie,
that's when I need a man
to help me finish the job, like this one.
I bet he's good, isn't he?
Huh? Mister philosopher.
- [Auntie] Try to keep it in the saddle for me, okay?
- Keep it in the saddle? No!
- No, I will not keep it in the saddle.
Auntie, he threatened to kill my babies.
He threatened to kill my motherfuckin' horses.
- Stephanie, please, calm down.
- No, no.
He kicked me out of my mama's house.
My mama's house and he moved
those nasty whores in
but he gets me out.
Oh, hell, no, everybody got to go.
I want them all wiped all
the face of the fuckin' map.
I don't think that's what we should be focused on.
- Oh, shut yo ass up.
Don't you think you've done enough.
You are not my mother.
Never have been, never will be.
- When you say everyone has to go,
does that include more than Dante and Summer?
[dramatic music]
- My father.
Kill him.
[dramatic music]
Nobody is gonna stand in the way of my child's birthright.
Not even him.
[dramatic music]
[birds chirp]
- Well, we in the middle of nowhere,
so we should be safe.
- Yeah.
- I had her right where I wanted her.
But I couldn't...
She told me she was pregnant.
Listen, I've never hesitated before.
- She is insignificant in my eyes,
just another little chickpea
from another little hood chicken.
- In your eyes.
I need that money.
And when Stephanie finds out
that I didn't kill her,
she's not gonna give me the codes.
That's our escape money.
- I got us covered on the money
when the wire hits.
Just let that shit go.
- Baby, that's your money
and you of all people should know
that dealing with your family
when the wire's coming,
until it gets there, it ain't coming.
- You know when I was a little girl,
I used to dream that I lived a normal life.
You know what I'm talking about, like you see on TV.
Two parents go to work, they get home,
act normal and fuck.
It gave me comfort to pretend even
with the understand that it wasn't real.
- You know, I got a question for you.
- What?
- [Dante] What in the hell are you talking about?
- It's just, okay-
- [Dante] I'm trying to follow that shit-
- Look, seriously, seriously, listen.
They're playing you.
- [Dante] Come on.
- They're playing you.
They ain't gonna give you shit, all right?
You're lucky they don't try to kill you
to cover any of this up.
- [Dante] You can't be serious.
- Very.
- First of all, they know their limitations
when it comes to me.
- That's my point.
I don't think you realize they don't have any.
- I'm gonna get my money.
And if they try to stop me
it'll be a blood bath.
Why don't you stop worrying about me
and let me worry about you.
All right, nobody's gonna hurt again okay, except me.
- I'll live in the fantasy for the moment.
'Cause I know how good it is.
[Carissa moans]
- I told them Cameran.
I told Stephanie and I told Cameran, Jr.,
just be patient, your father will fix this.
- Right.
And that's why your name is written
all over that document of his new bank.
Are you kidding me?
- Okay, don't put me in the middle of this, Cameran.
- But you are in the middle of it.
You turned on this family!
- No, you, you had everything.
Benjamin set up a feast for you.
All you had to do was eat.
But, no, you had to eat yours
and everybody else's, too.
Pigs get fat, Cameran.
Hogs get slaughtered.
[dramatic music]
- My father gave me this.
Just turned 14.
I pitched a two-hitter.
It was the one and the only time
he ever told me he was proud of me.
- That's really nice, Cameran.
- Don't interrupt me Judas bitch.
He gave me this globe as a symbol
our family would go worldwide,
around the globe.
Oh, I was fascinated.
I thought that we were gonna be big.
I never knew he meant to commit crimes around the globe.
- Behind every great fortune is
a well-executed crime along the way.
Your father did that for you
so you wouldn't have to
but you just threw it all away.
- I threw it all away?
I did what was necessary for this family,
now I'm villainized?
Why? Because I chose not to die like Pamela?
Because I chose to live on?
- When you think with your dick,
you know what happens?
You get fucked.
[Cameran screams]
[globe crashes]
This is what you wanted?
[Cameran groans]
[dramatic music]
[soulful music]
- Well, you seem to be healing up quite nicely.
- It's a work in progress.
The body aches double me over sometimes
but I am used to dealing with pain.
- You know, my mother, she had terrible fibroids,
God bless her heart.
But acupuncture worked for her.
They've been doing that stuff for 10,000 years.
- [Carissa] Anything to get me past this madness.
- Funny you should say that
because I checked my trust account this morning
and guess what was still there?
$149,999,970 to be exact.
- 970.
They took out $30 for bank fees.
- Cheap bastards.
- [Carissa] Wow, after all of this.
- Well, it's all there in the trust fund.
Whenever you're ready.
Minus my agreed upon fee and expenses, of course.
- Mm-hmm.
- But it's ready whenever you are
to start your new life.
- I'm not quite ready.
They've paid but they still have so much more to pay.
- Honey, you won, let it go.
Move on.
- I ain't letting shit go.
You eat what you kill.
I won't be free until blood spills.
- Oh, I didn't just hear that.
But whatever you decide to do,
take a moment for the win, sis.
You deserve it.
The charges against you,
they'll all be dropped next week.
I spoke to the governor.
Like I said, enjoy the win.
[dramatic music]
[doorbell rings]
- Carissa.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
So nice talking with you over the phone.
- You, too.
- Can I get you something to drink?
- Oh, no, thank you for offering.
- Are you hungry?
Would you like to see Elijah?
- I would.
- Right this way. - Thank you.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
- This is gonna be an amazing day.
[dramatic music]
- Where's Stephanie?
She said I could meet her here for the codes.
- Oh, the codes, codes, crypto codes, crypto codes.
- [Dante] Cut the bullshit and give me the codes.
- My wife, Carissa, the woman I love, you took her.
You entered her.
She was nothing but a random conquest for you,
just like all your other whores.
She was my wife.
You made a fool of me.
- [Elijah] Hey, Miss Carissa.
- Hey, Elijah.
- I made it to level six, I played my friends.
- [Carissa] Oh, my goodness, make sure
you get to level seven, okay?
- Okay.
- He's doing so well.
He's adjusting, meeting new people.
He's been such a blessing for us.
When I found out I couldn't conceive,
I thought our life was over.
But he's given us a new one.
- I just wanna make sure he's gonna be okay.
- He's our son.
I promise you, he's going to be just fine.
- I'll wire some money tomorrow.
It's truly not a problem.
- Oh, no, no, not to worry.
My husband, he's doing very well.
Elijah will be very well taken care of.
- I'm just here for the codes.
All that's over.
- Just 'cause you say it's over
doesn't mean it's over.
- Don't step to me.
I am highly trained.
I will kill yo ass in 10 seconds flat
with my bare hands.
[dramatic music]
- Codes.
I want you to stay away from my family.
And I want you to stay out of my life.
- I only got one attempt left
so this better work or I'll kill you
and everything that you love.
- Already did.
I lost everything.
But I still feel good to be alive.
[Dante scoffs]
- You ain't well.
- There's a certain liberation
when you don't give a fuck.
It opens up so many options.
- You know, if you gave a fuck when you should have,
maybe you wouldn't be in this position now.
[Dante laughs]
- You got five minutes to vacate my property
or you will be executed.
- These codes better work for your sake.
[door closes]
- Miss Carissa, I made it to level seven.
- [Mother] Keep going.
- He's really good at that, huh?
- Yes, he's getting really good.
- I cannot get into it.
I don't know how they do it.
[phone rings]
- Yeah, it's surprising- - Excuse me.
- Go ahead.
- Dante?
- [Dante] Hey, I got the codes.
- You got it.
- It is time for that ride off
into the sunset [laughs].
- That was, that was a little too easy.
Something's not right.
No, you gotta get out of there right now.
- I got two words, I'm gone.
See you in a minute, babe, bye.
[engine revs]
Oh, shit! [car explodes]
- Now it's over.
- Elijah, I'll come back and check on you, okay.
Thank you so much for your hospitality.
- Yeah.
It was, we'll see you again soon.
[door closes]
- Oh, you are worth every penny.
Oh, it's you again.
What can I help you with?
Sue Yuen.
I handpicked her from a tiny little village in Taiwan,
then smuggled over here
on my father's private jet all by myself, mind you,
and made sure she spoke nor understood any English,
nada, nothing whatsoever.
Really?
Watch this.
Sue Yuen, your mother is a pus infested whore.
Yes.
She really is, that's who I bought her from [laughs].
Sue Yuen, your sister is a bloody communist.
Ah, yes [laughs] see.
- Your demeaning humor is repulsive
to say the least.
- Well, I supposed it's an acquired taste,
like beer and caviar.
Oh, get off your Malcolm X soapbox.
It's not like they don't talk mad shit about us
in their salons,
the ones they own and we patronize.
- This conversation is a bit more personal.
- Personal, I know you're getting my Auntie booty.
You're nasty, both of y'all,
out here cavorting like young folks.
- Where is she?
We had a lunch date today, she's never late.
I'm becoming a bit more concerned.
- Oh, if you'd been dirt poor your entire life,
begging crumbs from your beautiful sister
and her wealthy husband,
then suddenly you're wealthy yourself,
I mean, wouldn't you be all over the place?
I know I would, I'd be all over the planet.
Maybe she's on Mars with Elon.
Maybe she's in Italy or France.
You know, maybe she's in Chicago looking
for another stud.
Maybe she needs two or a few.
Maybe you have competition [laughs].
- If you hear from her, please contact me immediately,
for we have both business and personal matters
to attend to.
- Dammit, Sue Yuen, that is far too rough.
My God, I know you're from a third-world country
but calm the fuck down, bitch.
Gentle bitch.
- So you had to do it, didn't you?
You just couldn't help yourself, huh?
- You just kept dangling carrots
in front of my face,
ever since we were kids.
One day, I could belong.
- Why are you kidding yourself?
We were never family.
You grew up away from us,
we barely knew each other.
That was not me and Mae's fault,
that was our father's fault.
He had decided to insert himself
into any woman that would allow him.
And your mother was a hooker.
You weren't our sister.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
My mother was a hooker.
I was a child.
And I needed my family.
But you know what?
This isn't nothing new to me.
I'm always having to take what is mine.
- Mine?
Take what was mine?
- You're arrogant and that will cost you.
- This will always be mine sister dear.
- It was your arrogance.
Your arrogance.
To think that you didn't have
to maintain what you had.
You didn't tend to your garden, sis.
You let the snakes in.
- And I didn't see the biggest slimiest snake coming.
- I'm okay with being a snake.
It's a step up, huh, sis.
- That just reaffirms the fact
that my sister and I were smart
to stay the fuck away from you and your confidante.
- Come on.
Alexis?
Carissa?

- [Announcer] Next time on "A House Divided."
- I have no more business with your husband
or your family.
- We have money to clean
and nothing cleans better than a Sanders bank.
- So I guess you want war?
- Your skin shows your origin.
Your heart is in a different place.
- We need some help on the inside.
We gotta stop these bodies.
- I got detectives following me around,
asking me questions and shit.

This casino will see to that.
