- Previously on "A House Divided."
- Get over here, girl.
You gotta eat what you killed.
- If you want this life,
you're gonna have to make this shit right.
- Okay, so what do I gotta do? - Well, what do you say we,
we get outta here?
- We shouLd get our asses outta here.
I hear Texas is growing.
- I think I would be down for that.
- I still want my money.
- Better go in the back and count it up.
- Let's do it.
- The money that y'all got stolen.
- You could be the future.
I want you to stand and deliver.
- Cam cannot find out about this, you hear me?
- Tell us what we don't know about your scheme
and we'll grant you immunity.
- Ashes fly back into the face of he who throws them.
- You said you had a plan to get her outta here.
I'm all ears.
- I'ma need your help, sis.
- And now, "A House Divided."
- You sure you're ready to get back in this, cuz?
- I'll try it, cuz.
I tried to run away to Cali, I tried to do things right.
Nah, that shit ain't work.
Let me tell you, they had a bitch moppin' floors,
washin' pots, cleanin' dirty drawers and shit.
Man, I tried, I did what I could but
this straight life ain't it.
- I been saying that.
Fuck it then, let's get in our bag.
- Right? - What else we gonna do?
- Fuck, 'cause I'm damn sure not
about to be on the internet shakin' my ass
for no pervs and shit, so.
What else?
- Let's use your body, yeah?
- Gosh, nah, no.
- My girl, she made 10,000 a month.
- Damn.
Nah, nah, nah, 'cause that's 10,000 nights
I'ma be up worrying about it
when my grandkids see that shit one day.
That's not worth it.
That's short-term thinkin'. - Nah.
They gonna understand.
Momo had to get that money.
- You fuckin' stupid, Chad.
I'm not about to play with you, man.
Go ahead, no.
She ready for tonight?
- Oh, yeah, yeah. - We gotta move quick.
I got two weeks to get Clark his money, move this shit, so.
- I got two twin Glocks.
I call 'em Venus and Serena.
- We better be serving these niggas, right?
Right?
- We'll serve 'em.
- I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
- I'm not a stranger.
I'm a friend of your mama's, Sally.
I need to tell you something
and I need you to listen to me very carefully, okay?
No matter what people say,
and no matter what you may hear on the wind,
you need to know this one thing.
- What?
- Your mama loved you very much.
She couldn't stand the thought of being away from you,
you were her everything.
- She's coming home soon.
- She loved you. - My son.
Who gon' take care of him?
- Oh.
I need you to give this to your grandma.
It's from your mama but it's for you.
- Tell her that I love her too.
- Holy shit.
This is like the fifth one.
Thanks for calling me first, Detective Rossi.
May I?
Stupid motherfucker, shit.
- Shh.
- Please. - Don't you fucking scream
or I'll slit your throat. - Please.
Please, please, please don't rape me.
- Shh.
I'm not gonna rape you.
Sit.
- Okay.
I got some money in my purse.
- I don't want your money.
- Then what is this about?
Did she, did she send you?
I swear, I was just gonna go meet with my lawyer, okay?
I promise I wasn't gonna say anything.
Look, I got a son.
- He wanted me to kill you,
but I been following you around since before the hospital.
- But you promise you're not gonna kill me?
- You're a mom.
You take care of your son.
You love your son.
- I do.
So what is this about?
- You're not safe.
I don't trust him.
I can protect you. - Oh.
- Look.
You can't go to the police.
They will kill you.
You're not like those crack whores like my mom.
- Why would I trust you?
I've been through so much for this family.
I don't need protection, I need revenge.
- I like the sound of that, hm.
- What's up, babe? - Hey.
How was your workout?
- Oh, it was cool, I pushed myself.
Trying to see me count to six.
- Mm, and it seems to be paying off.
Think you can push yourself with me later?
- Mm-hm.
Yes.
And I can't wait.
How about right now? - Babe, no.
Come on.
- Oh, baby. - Mm, no,
you know damn well I need to be cutting up this fruit.
Come on, I gotta fit into this wedding dress.
It's not optional. - Baby, you slayin' any dress
any time, what are you talkin' about?
- You're far too kind
and you're clearly just tryin' to get some.
Seriously, this is a mission.
- I get it.
At all costs.
- Good.
- I gotta go do that thing.
- Arlene?
Baby mama drama? - Yeah.
Wish I didn't have to meet with her.
- That's cool.
You know I support you, babe.
Just keep it classy and keep it moving.
- Yes, ma'am.
I got this.
I'm not going back to get involved with that crazy family.
No matter what.
- Actually, speaking of that.
Don't speak too soon.
- What are you saying? - Well, I think before,
you know, we've married and run off into the Texas sunset
we should get you what you deserve, what we deserve
from that freakin' family, you know?
For us, for our family?
- I love the way you think.
- Mm-hm. - Come here.
I love you, I'll speak to you soon, okay?
Soon. - Yeah, go take a shower
with your little sweaty, sexy self.
- You know you like that.
- So, so far so good, you kept your word, you got me out.
What's next?
- Well, we still need to get the charges dropped
or significantly lowered.
I mean, having a life sentence hanging around your neck,
it's like having a gun constantly pointed at you.
My job is to get that gun out of your face.
- And the next job?
- The next job is to get you your money.
Our money.
- My money.
My money.
My money, which I will give you the agreed upon
percentage of once I get it.
When will I get it, counselor?
- Well, we can certainly prove his infidelity
by various pics and witness statements from the staff.
I mean, this guy wasn't trying to hide his sexual conquest.
He did it right under your nose.
- We all have sinned and fallen short.
- Yes, we have.
Yes, we have.
- You're running out of time.
- They've tracked this phone.
They're coming for you.
Good luck, Mr. Sanders.
- Good job.
- That was your last favor.
Now, I could always hate Cameran,
but I would never hurt Mr. Benjamin.
He's been too good to me.
His family legacy is all he cared about.
- Well, hopefully, this will scare him enough
to get him on that plane.
It's about to get worse before it gets better.
- I didn't tell the feds anything they didn't already have.
But I needed to sign my deal to protect myself
from when all of this shit comes crashing down.
- You better not disappoint this family.
I'm gonna keep you on full salary.
But you work for Cam Jr. and me now.
You got that?
- Full salary isn't enough.
Not for these hazards.
I want double.
Double salary.
- I'll give you triple if you help us make Carissa go away.
We need to start a new chapter.
That book needs to be closed.
- Well, well, well.
I would have never guessed
that you would become just like them.
Well, I guess if you walk among the wolves--
- Part of your job description.
Keep your fucking opinions to yourself.
I'll be in touch.
- Yeah, you do that.
- We gave you immunity and you give us shit.
You gave us nothin' that we didn't already know about.
- Well, I didn't know what you already knew.
Cameran Sr. wasn't privy to any of the schemes.
The money laundering was all Benjamin.
- Bodies are dropping like flies
and you claim to be this officer of the court?
You're nothing but a goddamn deplorable.
Why do you even protect this filth, huh?
- You boys really are quite charming.
And trust me, I used to be the girl
that loved to hang out with the boys and the band.
But now I have to go.
I have a wax appointment.
Don't want to take it back to the '80s.
Although, I'm sure you both remember those days quite well.
It's not cute.
- Yeah, we're gonna find out that you lied.
And when we do, you're gonna be getting waxed
at Lompoc, trust me.
- Being a sore loser is so unattractive.
- So is an orange jumpsuit.
- Yo, this is really sweet.
I really appreciate the treatment and everything like that.
For real, for real.
- I'm glad.
- Yo, you keep this up
and I ain't never going back to rehab.
Shit, I might just move in with you.
- Stop, come on now.
You get one day pass.
This is your first one.
Keep it up, you're doing great.
- No, you're doing great.
And you're looking too, wit yo fine ass.
- You ain't seen nothin' yet.
I'ma give you every reason to stay right here.
- Oh yeah?
Wow.
Just like that?
Yeah, I see you.
- I like to teach
before I turn in the ceremony.
The prime minister's daughter's engagement
is a huge life event for him.
He told me to tell you how grateful he is.
- Please express to the prime minister
that we are grateful for his hospitality.
- Yes.
Even hospitality comes with a price.
Hm .
- As I was saying, hospitality comes with a price.
- More of a price?
Oh, whatever you say in front of me,
you can say in front of her.
Don't be shy.
Spit out your demand.
- Our contact states that I see that
a subpoena is being issued
for some of your personal right hands.
The feds are still on your tail but no warrant yet.
Seems the storm is brewing.
- Yeah, the storm's always brewing around here.
But this is paradise so why fret?
- This casino's expansion is the crown jewel
in the prime minister's plan for economic development.
- Oh, yes, lots of development it needs.
- Yes, and this predicted influx of tourism in the region
then, for the next 10 years,
your government stands to gain billions in tax revenue.
Not to mention your under the table revenue.
- Yes, but only the bonds under retainer.
We need investment capital to get it up to speed.
We need to be ready.
- How much?
- $500 million to reconstruct this casino.
As well as another private casino
on one of the islands in the archipelago.
- What's the return?
- 40% return in only one year.
- Well, that seems reasonable.
Why so generous?
- Well, it's either you or the Chinese
and they come with their own sets of demands.
- What if I don't?
- You will be handed over to the United States government
just like a tax return on April 15th.
- Wow.
I thought I left the thugs back in Chicago.
Apparently not.
- Well, welcome to paradise.
Well, if you will excuse me, we have to cut a cake.
- Once again, I have to eat shit.
- Maybe not.
There's an opportunity here, a fork in the road.
Let me talk to these guys a little firmly.
I'm used to dinner with thugs, I got this.
- Sister Jones, long time.
- Yes, yes, long time.
- Good to hear from you.
I hear you're in California, dancing with the stars.
- Well, it's all planet earth.
We're all stars.
- Plato insists that the true self of a human being
is the intellect, words constitutes the soul,
and the two can't be separated.
- Well, unfortunately, I'm going to need you
to use some of your skills to separate
some intellects from their souls.
- I assume it must be getting awful hot
in the City of Angels?
- When can you come?
- I can be there in 48 hours.
- Actually, I'm out of the country,
you'll be meeting with my sister.
- I'm sorry, sister.
But you know how I work.
I don't know her.
- Brother James, I know how you work.
But this is me and I give you my word,
my sister's solid, she's family.
- I will arrive in 48 hours.
I'll be in touch.
- You?
You've never said two words to me in my entire life.
What, did you come to see the show?
- Look, even though I no longer represent your father,
you guys are still family.
- The day I call those people family again
will be the day maggots are crawling outta my eye sockets
and I'm chillin' in the bosom of Abraham.
- Now, come on, now.
This is life.
This is the planet we live on.
Hurricanes happen, tragedies happen.
But the world just keeps spinning, circling,
and we have to hold on for dear life.
Picking up the pieces time and time again.
Rebuilding.
Inside and out.
- When you rebuild, nothing's ever the same.
- But that's just the point.
It's not supposed to stay the same.
It's different.
Is different bad, hm?
Is letting go bad?
- Well, I will never let this go.
- You act as if you have a choice.
- Why are you here?
Who really sent you?
- Carissa sent me.
- Those Nigerians.
Will they pay?
- They will pay, all of 'em.
- Then get me the fuck out.
- Attagirl.
Thank you.
- Oh, baby.
- This is really, really impressive.
You guys have done something.
You are legitimately one of the top three
black banks in the nation.
So, kudos to you.
- At our core, we're still a family business.
Started in the '70s right after the Civil Rights Movement.
We wanted to empower our people economically.
My father, he had a vision and he pressed on.
- Well, that'd be daunting, given the times.
- We face a lot of obstacle as a black-owned bank.
But we did thing the right way.
We persevered, acquired a few banks in Alabama,
a few in Chicago.
We continued to grow because our customers
related to our core values.
- Oh, yeah, I mean, it's a lot like us, you know?
We're a family-owned bank and I'm sure we
share a lot of those same values.
- For the most part.
Look, we've gone through the same bullshit
that you guys are going through.
But as black businessmen, at the end of the day,
we just gotta make sure we cross our Ts and dot our Is,
stick to the rules more than anyone else.
- Ain't that the truth.
- Yeah 'cause we couldn't get away with
a tenth of the shenanigans that these white banks
and conglomerates get away with each and every day.
Yeah. - Careful,
this is America, but this our America too, right?
So we press on. - We press on.
- So why sell now?
- Oh, it's time.
My daddy's on his fourth round of chemo.
He needs closure.
- The real reason?
- Okay, okay.
I want to own a NBA team.
I want to run around with young models
and enjoy the blessings of my family's hard work.
I'm burnt out, I'm tired, there, I said it.
- Honesty, I like it.
That's more like it. - Yeah.
I like you.
I could relate to you.
I want your family to carry on our name.
I can see it.
- Well, in the spirit of that, let's streamline the process.
I'm prepared to pay you full price.
- The name can't change, we live on.
- The name can live on in your New Orleans branches only
and only until your father passes.
- When can we close?
- This is gonna be a whole new beginning for us.
Yeah, my, my grandfather, he asked me,
he wanted me to take our family's bank
into the next generation and I'm gonna
take it out to the millennials.
I'm gonna use Fintec, online.
It's gonna be a rebirth.
Rebirth Bank.
- Well...
I'm gonna need full price plus 10% in that case.
The name changes six months after my daddy's death.
That's a tough son of a bitch.
He might come back.
We gotta make sure.
- To the rebirth.
- Thought you might be hungry.
So, you got any family?
Any brothers or sisters?
- No.
- Well, I'm kinda the same.
All I got is my son and his father left
right after he was born.
I guess he could handle the party
but not the responsibility, so...
Well, I'm kinda glad it worked out like this.
I would say that you could stay here, but,
my son, he's gonna be home in a few hours.
He's out with my girlfriend for a playdate right now, so.
- You know too much.
- Huh?
- You know too much.
It's why Sammy wanted to kill you.
- Just Sammy?
- Well, Carissa, she kinda
wanted to let you live.
Too much bloodshed.
But Sammy?
He wanted to kill you.
- I can't go to the cops!
I've done somethin' really terrible.
They're not gonna let me go, I don't care what they say.
Shit, I'm not stupid.
I don't have nowhere to turn.
Can you help me?
- You got a soda somewhere?
- Yeah, sure.
- Well, first day on the job is always exciting.
- Yeah, I bet.
Any updates, counselor?
Any news on Keno?
- Well, I'm looking at the cellphone documents right here
and it says that he called you last.
But the last thing from the tower says
that he never left or at least his cellphone
never left his condo.
But that's the last signal that we got.
- He'd never leave that phone, he's on that SnapChat,
fuckin' thing it's like a second job for him.
- Yeah, but there are no snaps after the ones
he did that morning with exercising his glutes
the whole, the glute buster thing?
- Yeah.
I saw that.
Nothin' else?
- Yeah, that's all I got.
I mean, it seems like he never left that house.
Or he wanted us to believe that he never left.
Or, I mean, he could have run away.
Maybe somebody wanted to hurt him?
Or maybe he found a new papi chulo?
- No, he...
He doesn't have any enemies,
he's not involved in any of this.
And he wouldn't run from me, not for anyone.
- Huh.
Well, in that case, I certainly have reason
to suspect foul play.
I think your little TikTok video vixen knows something.
- Where is she?
- She booked a one-way flight back to New Orleans
and she used your AmericanExpress.
And get this:
she's not too far from where you're standing right now.
- Where is she exactly?
- We skip traced her and pulled her credit,
she has a cousin, it was a previous address,
his name is Tyren Ducet.
But Cameran, be careful.
This guy has two felony convictions, all violent.
- Send me the address.
- Cameran.
In order to make this casino work, to start a new beginning,
we gotta get rid of everything.
Everyone that could weigh us down.
- Yeah, whatever it takes.
And I need a new start.
I trust you.
- Blood will spill for what they did to you.
- Blood will spill.
- Y'all know we back!
And if you make money without us, you fuckin' die!
We meet again.
Hey, look, it's all that you got that.
- Nah, Ray, forget that money, I want somethin' else.
- Yeah.
You like rapin' women.
No, yeah, yeah, you do.
Yeah, you do, and since you like rapin' women,
we gonna see if you like how it feel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cuz, work him over with that.
And like they said over here, I want to hear him scream
before you blow his fuckin' brains out.
- Just kill me. - Okay, I got you, cuz.
- Just kill me.
Oh, man.
- Next time on "A House Divided."
- The way you help, auntie,
is to stay the hell outta my way.
- You know I'm a certain type of woman
but I also have needs.
- So you want to box me in?
- Uh-uh, don't you come near me.
- We're not here to fight.
- You know Cam hasn't been to one of my workouts?
That's not like him.
- Oh. - You cannot
get away with a crime like that.
- I ain't did nothin'.
- But I'm still very confident
we will get the charges dropped.
- What are you doing? - You!
- I need you to know that is not who I am.
- I know.
