Previously on Saints and Sinners:

If you want him alive, bring that evidence to me.

Medicaid investigators came by this morning and shut the clinic down.

If I go down, I plan on dragging you right along with me.

Will you please spend the rest of your life with me?

That is what killed DD. This is a very specific instrument.

You mean weapon.

Oh my God, Rex Fisher is innocent.

When Rex gets out, nobody's gonna be safe.

Corruption is happening. Let's be the ones who stop it.

Fulton County is opening an investigation

into Mayor Ella Johnson.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[Announcer] She vowed to bring peace to our streets.

Instead, Mayor Ella Johnson has brought

death and corruption.

Channel 4's Anita Robinson reports.

It was two weeks ago when the dedicated investigative news team unearthed this:

[Anita] Travis Ford, admitting to the murder of

Pastor Evan Johnson.

The widow of the murdered Pastor

was our newly elected Mayor, Ell Johnson.

What was her role? Did she orchestrate this move for political gain?

I'm sure that the man who was wrongfully accused would certainly like to know.

He was released earlier this morning.

Uh‐huh. Yeah.

That's what I'm talkin' about. How, how you feel about the operation, boss?

Huh? Look alright.

Look like we missin' some cats round here.

Where is everybody?

You need to pay attention.

What kind of lame excuse is this for a comin' home party?

Where's Kendrick?

Moe, Kwame? Where they at?

Sweet Pea picked up Kendrick from lockup, and we ain't seen him since.

‐ What about the others? ‐ They with him.

Him, huh?

So Jabari's tryin' to steamroll my operation.

He makin' all kinda moves. Talkin' 'bout he about to get out the game.

Heh. Jabari's always been a dreamer.

‐ Yeah. ‐ so now he tryin' to go legit?

[SCOFFS] He's tryin' to take your cash cow too, man.

Who? Clarence?

Yeah. They say he a couple a stacks away

from finalizing the deal.

Well we gonna see about that.

Cypress Fulton County Prosecutor Rebecca Jordan

has officially launched her investigation into Mayor Johnson.

She believes Johnson forced police to frame Rex Fisher for the murder.

And then fired them to damage their credibility.

I had nothing to do with the police department bungling my husband's murder case.

And those cops were incompetent before I got into office.

You know you're embarrassing yourself with these allegations.

You can hide behind political red tape, but you can't hide from hard evidence.

You have been ordered by the court to turn over all of your records.

From your campaign donors and all your campaign finances.

So tell me Rebecca

how is it that you came by such information?

Stop stalling.

Listen, I have no problem releasing these records.

Transparency was a part of my platform.

‐ Then hand them over. ‐ I will.

.Right after I speak with my lawyers.

You know how these things get when you

have the courts involved.

Bureaucracy slows the process down to a crawl, but I'm sure

we'll have a swift resolution soon enough.

You may have everyone else fooled,

but I know you have bodies buried Ella, and I'm going to find them.

There is nothing to find.

Whether it's that girls body found at your families church,

or your husbands murder, or the death of your alleged lover and her husband, or

even your little crooked Christie.

Now you leave my family out of this.

You know we could have been powerful allies.

I don't know why you so hell bent on going to war.

Enjoy your tenure, Mayor Johnson.

It won't last much longer.

[Anita] Mayor Johnson is no stranger to controversy.

But is this about one woman's quest for power

or is it a family trait? Just three days ago

the Mayor's daughter, Doctor Christie Johnson, was arrested

for Medicaid fraud.

She was released on bail and is currently awaiting trial.

Tough break about Rex Fisher. How you holdin' up?

I've been better.

Well...

you shouldn't take it personally Noah. You followed protocol

and all the signs pointed to him.

I wanna believe that, but it's getting harder and harder to make sense of things.

You're a good detective.

But I don't need you doubting yourself.

Especially now that I need someone I can trust.

You know you can trust me, Lieutenant.

This is from the morning the confiscated guns went missing.

That was all the evidence that Mayor Johnson needed to prosecute.

Look who's on that list.

I trust you will be discreet.

Noah.

We're late. Let's go.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[Levi] Alright. It's cinnamon.

How good is that, baby?

Yeah it's good. It's real good.

Look, we can reschedule this, if you're not up for this tody.

No, no, no, no babe, I'm sorry. It's not that.

Believe me, I have dreamed my entire life

‐ of my wedding and this moment. ‐ Okay.

But I just can't stop thinking about my mugshot

plastered all over the news.

At least it's a cure mugshot.

‐ This is serious. ‐ I know, I know. I'm sorry.

Look...

we will get through this together.

Take it from somebody who's been there.

These things have a way of working themselves out.

Yeah, maybe you're right. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, they don't even have anything concrete on me.

And my lawyer says that she'd be surprised if the case even goes to court, so...

See? No need to stress.

It's not good for you anyway. Or baby Evan.

Evan Sterling.

If it's a boy. You like it?

I love it. I love it.

How do you think Savannah's going to feel about it?

Mmm... uh...

I don't, I think it may be a little too soon to tell

Savannah about the baby.

Bein' that I still have to tell her about us.

Levi, you still haven't told you daughter that we're getting married?

[CLEARS THROAT] I was gonna tell her face to face when she gets here tomorrow, baby.

Look, everything is gonna work out, okay? It's gonna be fine.

Everything.

Let's get back to this cake here.

Let me um, cut you a piece of this.

This red velvet.

Mm‐hmm, aw yeah, you know what?

You're acting like you don't know how to cut a cake.

I normally use my hand, I‐

‐ Yeah... ‐ Okay, you ready?

Yeah. [MAKES AIRPLANE SOUNDS]

[Levi] Oh, I... [STAMMERS]

Really? Okay. [LEVI LAUGHING]

‐ Two can play that game. Boop! ‐ It's‐

Really? [LAUGHING]

Man, you didn't have to buy me a drink, brah.

Yes I did, man.

Here, keep the change brother.

My bad for standing you up a few weeks ago man‐

‐ It's all good man. ‐ Man, you know how it is man, that...

That studio life man, you get zoned out and...

‐ that's that's my bad. ‐ Well I know man. So how long you here?

um, couple more days. We gonna kick the tour off here.

Ahh... gonna kick it off here, huh?

Hey man, down here it's where the real fans are, man.

Right? Real aggressive.

Oh, you would know.

Remember that girl tackled you like Ray Lewis?

Oh my gosh...

That was good times, man. You was doin' your thing man. You were killin' the stage.

‐ You ever miss it? ‐ Yeah, uh...

Yeah, sometimes I do. But, you know, I'm good.

You're good.

Yes I'm good.

So you wouldn't be interested in

comin' to the show and sittin' in?

That wouldn't interest you at all, probly yeah, but uh‐

Why you messin' with me man? Don't do that.

I'm not messin' with you.

‐ You serious? ‐ As a heart attack.

As a heart attack, huh?

That a yes?

Hell yes.

[LAUGHING]

Absolutely.

You know what? I got some new heat.

Some fire. This would be a great opportunity

for me to debut it‐

Woah, slow your roll champ. I think that

this would be a good opportunity for you to sing your hit.

‐ "My Jam". ‐ Oh come...

Tank, I got more material than "My Jam" bro‐

I, I get it. I'm sure you do.

But on, on this type of stage, with these type of crowds

you need to do what the people know man, and that's "My Jam".

"My Jam". It's been awhile.

Have to start off somewhere, huh?

[LAUGHING]

Bartender, can we get another round, brother? On me.

Mm. You know what? this would be‐

Excuse me? I love your new song.

‐ Oh thank you. ‐ Can I get a picture?

‐ Yeah. ‐ Sure, come on, let me, let me.

Bow. There you go.

[SLOW MUSIC]

[CHUCKLING]

[Chief Douglas] You must be allergic to money.

'Cause every chance you get, you keep pushin' it my way.

[LAUGHING]

A straight flush. You flop that?

Come on Herman. You may be a man

but I have the nuts.

Well, well, well...

if it isn't the second coming.

That's funny.

Goodnight Herman.

Six weeks.

You left my ass in there for six weeks.

I don't get my hands dirty unless I have to.

The case against you was thin.

Welcome back Rex. Sorry I missed your welcoming party.

You think you ought to go easy on that?

For what? got nothing better to do.

Not with that bitch in office gunning for everybody.

When you getting my job back, huh?

‐ What? ‐ Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Cooper, bring it down, alright?

‐ Or what man? What you gonna do? ‐ Or what?

‐ That's enough. ‐ Wha‐ yeah, what? What?!

‐ Get off me, don't you‐ ‐ Cool it. Cool it!

It was Rex's tip on our Mayor's illegal campaign

donations that's gonna help get you your job back.

‐ Don't point at me‐ ‐ Patience!

She's not gonna be a problem much longer.

Yeah well we got other problems.

Bari.

Come on, Rex.

You can take care of your own disputes now that you're a free man.

Yeah, but something like this is very delicate. Needs delicate hands.

Plus I got a lotta eyes on me right now.

Listen, Bari is moving in on Clarence's trash company.

‐ That cop killer's gotta be behind bars. ‐ Shut up Francisco.

So...

he used your time away to his advantage, huh?

‐ Yeah. ‐ Sly little...

Oh, it's okay.

I know how much he's in for.

It's time for me to step in.

I like that.

That's a beautiful ring.

In these type of cases, it's important

to have a strong support system.

It's bad news, isn't it?

I'm not going to sugar coat it.

The prosecution claims that they have proof that you

fraudulently used patient numbers to over bill Medicaid.

They are bluffing.

I have an explanation for every transaction.

But they have a witness.

And she seems pretty credible.

I'm pretty sure it's just a mistake.

Angela Parks is her name.

The church secretary.

That bitch.

You know she always had it out for me.

She's lying. You have to believe me.

Medicaid fraud is a serious offense in this state.

Now if we take this to trial and we lose

you're looking at five years for every

five thousand dollars that was stolen.

So what options do I have?

They're offering you a deal.

If you plead guilty now

they'll drop it from a felony to a misdemeanor.

And then?

You'll avoid jail time.

You'll have to pay back minimum restitution....

and there's also the loss of your medical license.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

That's my career.

I worked really hard to get where I am.

I am not going out without a fight.

Angela has already made a deal for herself.

Now I suggest that you do the same.

We drafted this plea deal earlier today.

Now all you have to do is sign.

I'd like some time to think about it.

Sure. But I'll need an answer soon.

The plea deal disappears in the morning.

[SIGHS]

If I sign this, do I lose my career?

Christie in my experience...

your career is over no matter what you do.

We remember Debra. She was very active with Our Girls, Our World.

Did she ever mention anything about anybody giving her trouble?

Not at all. Debra was a nice girl.

What about the people she hung out with, might have been seeing?

Not even EJ?

Excuse me, it looks like the girls need more supplies.

Is there something you want to get off your chest, Caledonia?

No.

Reading body language is a part of our job description.

Tell us. What do you know?

Let's just say, from what I heard

Debra was "nice" to a lot of people.

Now what does that mean?

It means she got around.

Other than EJ, can you recall anyone else she was with?

I don't know anything about that.

Except I heard rumors going around that she

was cheating on EJ with some guy. He was older.

But you didn't hear that from me.

[Charlotte] Alright, now that that's settled,

do you have any other questions, detectives?

Yeah, one more. Debra spent a lot of time here

could that older man she was linked to been a member of this church?

I couldn't imagine.

Sometimes you think you know someone

but that's not always the case.

[Mother Harris] Girls.

These are the programs

from Pastor Johnson's Memorial.

Noah!

You don't come around enough.

How have you been?

You know what they say. Another day, another gray hair.

Oh, I like gray hair.

Especially if it's all over.

Mother Harris, the detectives were just asking

us questions about Debra.

Such a shame

what happened to that poor girl.

I put her grandmother in my prayers every night.

You knew Debra's grandma?

She's my bridge partner.

We've been searching for Debra's next of kin. Can we get an address?

You could get more than that.

That's for you.

Kendrick Murphy. The family name from Glenda Murphy.

The woman who adopted him.

Rex's sister. I should've known.

When she passed, Kendrick's father took him in.

‐ After he‐ ‐ No don't, don't, don't. I can guess

what comes next.

His most recent charge was a 15 year sentence for a felony murder.

He took part in a robbery and one of his accomplices was killed.

[SIGHS] Oh...

My first born.

Things could have been so different.

I hope it's not too hard for him in there.

He's out now.

He was released a few weeks back.

His case was dismissed during the retrial.

Due to missing evidence.

I can set up an introduction if you'd like.

All I wanna do is make this city great again.

My enemies would rather burn me at the stake than see changes.

This would give them just what they need to start the fire.

This family reunion has waited this long

it can wait a little longer.

In that case, it's been great working with you.

I have another job for you.

What do you know about Rebecca Jordan?

Two words. Ruthless ambition.

When she comes for you, she doesn't stop

until you're down to ash.

Yeah well now she's coming for me.

Torches blazing.

I need to find her secrets before she finds mine.

I'll see what I can do.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

We're not open yet.

Oh. Well we'll have to do something about that, won't we?

I'd like to speak to the person in charge, please.

That would be me.

And like I said, we're not open yet.

I meant the real person in charge.

Why don't you be a doll and go and fetch him for me.

‐ Who do you‐ ‐ Josie. I got this.

So. What are we drinking?

A gin martini. Straight up, and make it dirty.

Well...

you seem like the kind of woman who's used to getting what she wants.

You have no idea.

There you go.

So...

what're we toasting to?

How about your last moments of freedom.

What? You're joking.

I'm afraid not. Rebecca Jordan.

County prosecutor. You killed a cop a couple of weeks ago.

We're long overdue for a chat.

That was self defense.

That case has been closed.

You think that matters?

I could indict this olive if I felt like it.

Charging documents

for the arrest of Jabari Morris for

killing detective Mario Rodriguez.

I'm turning them in tomorrow

unless you can...

convince me otherwise.

What do you want?

Hmm... I don't know.

How 'bout a hundred and fifty large?

What?

Prosecuting Attorney? You a criminal.

[LAUGHING]

And you are a fool.

Politics are just another hustle, and I intend to get paid.

What if I don't have it?

I didn't get to where I am

by not doing my homework Mr. Morris.

You can either pay me now, or...

you can spend double in legal fees.

After I drag your sorry ass through court.

We both know what the best pay is here.

I don't have that kind of money layin' around.

Then you have 36 hours to get it.

Keep the change.

Sounds like you're gonna need it.

Here we go.

Double chocolate fudge with a cherry on top.

This has been the best day ever. Thanks dad.

You're welcome banana.

I know this doesn't make up for me not being around a lot lately, but

I figured it's never too late to spoil my baby girl.

What are we doing next?

Can we call cousin Jabari so Jada can come?

Slow down sweetie, I think you've had enough for one day.

[GIGGLES]

Besides, we just wanted it to be the three of us today.

That's fine. My wish came true anyway.

Wish?

Yeah. When I blew out my birthday candles.

I wished you and mommy would get back together.

So we could be a family again.

Banana, we're always going to be a family.

Then why can't we live together?

Because sometimes families change.

I live here now. And, well,

Christie and I...

we're going to get married.

Christie?

What about mom? What about us?

We're still gonna see each other. Nothing's changing.

It already has. you're not around anymore. You

barely ever call and, now you're staying here for good?

With her?

Look baby, I know it's a lot to take in, okay? I promise if you just give her a chance‐

Like you promised not to miss my birthday?

I'm not even hungry anymore. Can we just go?

Music is just words until you put your soul in it.

Now I'm hearin' the lyrics, but where's your soul, boy?

It's hard to find the soul when you been

singin' the same song for 20 years, pop.

Well then you find yourself a new song.

See? A song is

is like a good woman.

I tell you this right now, when she chooses

Fam, you follow her around like a little puppy.

That what happened to you?

Yeah.

Family at home, road never stops calling me.

Didn't you regret being away for so long?

I had no choice. I got bitten.

Aren't you afraid you were missing something at home?

Fear and art, those are two words that don't go together.

[PIANO PLAYING]

[VOCALIZING]

Thank you.

Hey Ms. Chase,

we're the detectives who called earlier.

Yes, yes. Come in. Right this way.

Blanche, don't touch my cards now. I'm watchin' you now.

I hope we're not interrupting.

Oh no, I'm just whoopin' Blanches butt at pinochle.

Nothin' new.

Listen, we're sorry for your loss, but, we were hoping we could talk with you about Debra.

Of course. Would you like to see some pictures?

Well actually, we have some questions.

But I guess we can wait.

Oh, okay.

That's her at the church.

She loved Our Girls, Our World.

What's that?

Is that Debrah's diary?

I know I should've given it to the police when she first went missing...

but I... I just...

But what, Ms. Chase?

It's okay. You can tell us.

Debra started having problems at home.

And she wrote that se wanted to run away

I thought if the police read that, they would stop looking for her.

That diary could actually be the key to solve her murder.

But she's my only grandchild.

And it's all I have left of her.

Listen, Ms. Chase

we have to take the diary. But I promise

I will handle it with care.

I'd rather you promise that you'll

find out what happened to my Debbie!

She didn't deserve what happened to her!

We promise.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Thank you.

You just started dating this girl.

Are you sure you want to do this?

What do you care? We're not marries anymore, remember?

And don't act like you're not datin' someone else too.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that Savannah is old enough to know the difference between

Mommy's friend and Mommy's lover.

I'm not the one starting a new family.

I just want to make sure you know what you're doing.

Would you even be marrying this girl if she wasn't pregnant?

‐ Mom? ‐ Oh!

Hey, uh, Levi, we need to talk.

Hey babe, how'd it go with the lawyer today?

In private, please.

What's this?

Oh, that's just some stuff for the baby, and I‐

What baby?

You're having a baby with her too?!

No‐yes...

We were gonna tell you‐

We were just trying to find the right moment.

I'm sorry, I guess I messed that up.

It's been a rough day, Levi.

You've been ruining everything!

Why can't you find your own family?

Savannah!

Levi, I need you.

Savannah needs me, too.

Why can't her mother handle this?

She needs her father.

Okay, see, I didn't ask you‐

She feels like she's losing you.

We're gonna have to talk later.

‐ But Levi‐ ‐ We're gonna have to talk later.

(softly) Savannah, I'm sorry baby.

[INAUDIBLE]

I brought you a sandwich, too.

Peanut butter and honey. You're favorite.

Can I have one of those juices?

[LAUGHS] Okay.

I wanna go home.

We can go home then.

No I meant home as in New York.

I don't like it here, and I don't want to be around you.

[CLEARS HIS THROAT]

You don't wanna be around me?

Guess what?

I'm your father.

And you don't have a choice.

I will always be here

whether you want me to be or not.

I want you to dad.

You lied. When you moved out

you said you were only gonna be there temporary.

Now you're never coming back.

Look we always plan for the best.

As you grow older you realize that sometimes

things don't go the way you planned.

And when that happens,

nothing you can do but try to see the silver lining.

What's that?

It's where you look for the good in a

negative or unplanned situation.

Like this.

You're not losing your family, you're gaining a baby

‐ sister or baby brother. ‐ Ugh!

Okay, well how 'bout this:

Your new step‐grandmother, she's the Mayor of the city.

Don't you want to go hang out at City Hall? Won't that be cool?

I guess.

See? It's not all bad.

And when I flip these houses

I'll have enough money to fly you down here anytime you want to see me.

‐ Really? ‐ Yes.

I love you Banana.

I love you as much as I always have

and I always will.

And that's not a lie.

You know, I still get a bad feeling around Christie.

She's a good person.

You'll see.

Just gotta give her a chance.

Okay.

Now can a brother get a juice box please?

Thank you.

[SAVANNAH LAUGHS]

A disgrace to this church and everybody in it.

‐ Mm‐hmm. ‐ The church does not deserve this.

Ah! Mother Harris.

Brittney's parents are outside. They have some

questions about the Farm‐To‐Table fundraiser.

Nasty girl! You should be ashamed of yourself!

Don't you just hate it when someone puts all of your business out there?

You'll pay for this.

At least I won't have to open my legs to do it.

Hmm!

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey girl.

What you doin' tonight?

I don't feel like goin' home.

[EXHALES]

I never thought I'd see the day you'd roll over.

I ain't rollin' over for nobody, stop it.

That's how it looks from where I'm standin'.

You lettin' that prosecutor bitch play you.

Oh, like you let Rex's boy play you? Hmm?

You still tryin' to blame me for that?

Who else?

Because I wasn't willin' to risk your life for a damn tape?

Look, I'd do everything and anything for this family.

Okay? But I'm tryin' to get us a name. A new name, with some respect.

what is that supposed to do, huh?

You're giving away everything we worked so hard for!

Look me and Vern went over the books for the businesses

all of them are strapped for cash.

I went to the bank for a loan,

but hood money doesn't qualify.

So I ain't tryin' to be hood forever. Okay?

Okay. Well what's gonna stop her from prosecuting you

after you give her the money?

The Jabari I know would've never let that happen.

Well the Jabari you know is changing! For the better.

Look, this is the move. You done? Are you finished?

You know what?

I don't know what you tryin' to prove.

But no matter what

all they ever gonna see is a thug in a suit.

So what do you think you know?

Well, I know that you'll do anything it takes to save yourself.

What do you want, Jabari?

[HE SIGHS] I want to talk business.

Cypress Waste Services.

Their municipal city contact is up for renewal.

You're gonna push it through.

That company hasn't taken one step towards the upgrades

the city council asked for.

Yeah, I know. But you're gonna do it anyway.

I mean, unless you want all your dirt out in the street.

And you need that dirt to cover up the bodies, don't you?

You know what? Evan was right about you.

But don't think your better ways are gonna make me bow down.

Look, Miss El‐ Lady Ella.

I respect your gangster. I really do.

I hope one day you'll be able to respect mine.

Your work's not "gangsta". Shaking down old ladies?

That's a cowards play.

Old ladies? Okay I, I'll just keep pillows away from you.

Look. I had a plan.

Okay? I had a good plan. I was gonna get outta the mud.

You know, be somebody that maybe you

or Pastor or EJ could be proud of.

And I got this close.

This close and that crooked‐ass county prosecutor had

to drag me back down.

Boy you talkin' about Rebecca Jordan?

Yeah.

She's paired up with Rex.

I mean he always said he had people in high places, but I just

always assumed he was talkin' about you. You know‐

I, I thought you were Rex's partner.

No. I'm makin' my own moves now.

Okay they, they tryin' to shake me down.

What're you doin'?

You know what Jabari?

I think you and I...

can help each other out.

I'm listenin'.

You sure you don't want to stay at your father's tonight?

It's not too late.

I'm sure. I get a bad feeling around Christie.

I don't think I'm gonna like her very much.

Oh, it's just nerves sweetie.

She seemed like a good person to me.

Maybe you're right.

[Elizabeth] All right. Come on.

On the next Saints and Sinners:

I saw her kissing another man!

Why would you do this? Why?!

You owe me! Do you understand me?

Rex don't care about nobody but Rex. I'm my own boss now.

If this deal doesn't go down, you will
