Previously on Saints & Sinners:

Debra was seeing an older man.

Pastor Johnson...

I was wonderin', do you think you could put me on?

I'm workin' on a deal that everybody gon' have to respect.

City council just voted to renew your contract.

But I had to reinstate those crooked cops for this.

I saw her kissing another man!

Savannah, why would you do this to my dress?

‐ That's for you. ‐ My first born.

I have another job for you. Rebecca Jordan.

We can't cross state lines unchecked without those trash trucks.

Then get them.

Look familiar?

Thanks for staying open after hours, Penny.

Mm. I don't know what we would've done without you.

My pleasure. I'm so glad I was able to alter it to your needs.

Yeah, it's gonna fit her like a glove. Especially since you

‐ put your special touch on it. ‐ Well...

I mean she's gonna love it. She has no other choice.

Oh, well. Do you need help with it to the car?

‐ No, I‐I got it. Thanks honey. ‐ Okay.

See you at the wedding.

‐ See you Ella, see you Saturday. ‐ Alight, bye‐bye.

[Scoffs]

[Sirens]

What's the problem officer, I wasn't speeding.

[Cooper] Turn off the engine and step out of the car.

Why?

Step out of the car please.

Face the vehicle.

‐ Wha‐wha, what fo‐ what? ‐ Face the vehicle.

What are you doing? Do you know who I am?

Everybody knows who you are.

Mayor Johnson.

‐ Cop buster. ‐ What are you talkin' about?

You don't want us to make a living.

But you...

you drive around in your fancy cars

buy all these fancy things.

I been watching you.

[Breathing Heavily]

You look nice.

Smell nice.

I bet it's been a long time since you had a real man, huh?

Would you like that?

You're feisty, huh?

It's okay baby. I like it rough.

You see, you may be watching us

[Ella Sobs]

But we're watching you.

I can do whatever I want to do to you.

Anytime I want to do it.

And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

You remember that.

[Reporter] I'm live at the trash worker's strike.

It's day five, and no one in Cypress has gotten service.

Meanwhile, instead of dealing with the garbage piling in the streets

Mayor Johnson is preparing for her daughters wedding this Saturday.

[Chanting Continues]

[Clarence] Ahh!

You been lyin' through your teeth Clarence!

I told you everything!

Ugh!

You owe Rex more than the gambling debt.

Is this how you treat your partners?

You were supposed to protect me!

You're no different than Rex.

I knew I should've never gotten into business with you.

Look man, I risked my family's livelihood for this!

I can't go back now!

Ugh!

Now what was it Rex had in those trucks?

Ugh!

Speak up Clarence, what was it?

Was it drugs?

Guns! It was guns!

He would take a little off my debt

every time I let him run a load across state lines.

Nobody ever searches the trash trucks.

Now you gonna tell me everything about the transportation of these guns.

Or that garbage that's piling up out there is gonna have one big fat ass addition.

‐ Alight... ‐ Talk.

Make your move, Sweet Pea.

Anywhere you go, you gonna lose, so just make any kinda move.

You can't beat me. [Chuckles]

You ain't never gonna learn this game, boy.

Sweet Pea, gimme a minute.

You got a problem?

Did you really think I was't gonna find out

about your love child with Mayor Johnson?

I'm wondering why you didn't tell me.

Maybe you still have feelings for her.

Y‐you gotta be really close to somebody to keep this type

of secret after all these years.

Maybe...

the big bad Rex is just a soft little puppy.

What, you uh,

keepin' tabs on me?

No I'm keeping tabs on her, which was your end.

Just like transpo.

I got my end. You ain't gotta worry about what I'm supposed to do.

Don't tell me what I don't need to worry about.

You lost a step. Your strike is taking too long.

I already got a plan B in the works.

The guns will be delivered on Saturday, like we agreed.

If you don't deliver...

and I lose my buyer...

the whole city of Cypress is gonna know about your love child with Mayor Johnson.

And when she falls flat on her face

you gonna land right beside her.

‐ Mom‐ ‐ Oh!

Hey baby.

Well, it's almost your big day.

How do you feel?

I'm doing okay, I guess.

I just wish dad was here.

Yeah, I know.

And I know this isn't how you pictured your big day...

but believe me, it's gonna be the best day of your life.

Mom, there's just so much up in the air right now.

And my dress?

Oh my sweet Christie.

Sweetie, the vows you're taking tomorrow goes beyond a dress.

Marriage isn't just between two people,

it's a commitment to God and community.

A strength that has fortified us for generations.

And as a wife

you stand by that strength and you fight

for that strength 'til death do you part.

It's something very special

that only you

and he shares.

And you can just feel it

in your soul.

Is Levi that person for you?

Yes.

Then you can walk down that aisle in a brown paper bag.

[Laughing]

And you couldn't change that the look in hi eyes when he

sees you coming toward him to start your life together as one.

No dress can compare to that.

And we'll be there with you

every step of the way.

Your mother and I

have something we want to share with you.

It's been in our family for two generations.

[Chuckles]

I wore this

when I walked down that aisle

and married your father.

And I wore it when I married your Grandfather.

Now you'll carry on that tradition.

[Crying Softy]

I just thank you both so much.

I love you, thank you.

Thank you.

No one is happy about the situation Elizabeth.

She's bein' destructive.

Well if you got a better idea, plea‐

you know what? I am not about to argue with you.

It's the day before my wedding and I got a million things to do.

I gotta go.

We're here to look around, it's about Debra Chase.

I don't know what else I can tell you.

‐ This won't take long. ‐ Okay.

Do you know who's office this was in 1998?

Back then this would have been Pastor Johnson's office. [Knocking]

There's the groom to be!

My man! Ty, you made it boy!

Hell yeah, man. I wouldn't miss this for the world.

Hello.

Um, you're gonna have to excuse my friend

‐ detective Alvarez. ‐ Oh, excuse me.

Hey, I just came to get you. Our tee time's in an hour.

Go ahead, we're fine.

Okay.

Let's go.

Okay, so this might be our murder scene.

According to the photo

the desk was here and the rug was there.

Okay, so, Debra comes in

she and Pastor Johnson are having an argument.

About what?

Well the diary said that he was gonna leave his wife.

Maybe he changed his mind.

She'd be mad as hell.

And he'd try to sweet talk her to calm her down

with more lies.

And she keeps yelling louder and louder...

Things get our of hand. But then what?

The wound was located on the back of her head.

Well if he was standing right here

he would've grabbed something off the desk.

I think I got it.

Come on.

Look.

So Pastor Johnson was having an affair with Debra.

And now he knows what he used to kill her.

Too bad we can't make an arrest.

I'm sure the late Pastor is paying for his crime in a

far worse place than prison.

That's not what I meant. I think we're jumping the gun.

Excuse me?

We have more evidence in this case than anything we've even‐

I know.

He had motive, but did he have opportunity?

Look I know that you have a thing for the Johnson family

‐ I don't have "a thing". ‐ But it's pretty damn clear that he killed her.

And Debra's grandma deserves to know the truth.

I agree.

But the last thing we need is to be

wrong in another murder.

Let's track the Pastors movements

before we take it to the Lieutenant.

So you're saying one of my officers assaulted you?

Do you have any idea who it was?

Uh, he was shining his flashlight in my face, so

I didn't get a good look, but

I think it was one of the officers that got fired.

Anything specific you remember?

Just his breath on my neck.

And... pressing against my body.

I, I could only see his hands.

Any identifiable marks?

Jewelry, a wedding ring, anything?

Um... he had on a watch I think, but I mean he was...

it was so dark I really couldn't tell, but

it was...

red, or

orange, I‐I...

I mean I‐I couldn't, e‐exactly remember.

That's some good info.

One last question.

With such a dangerous and rogue cop, then why'd you rehire him?

Excuse me?

That has nothing to do with this.

Oh I beg to differ. The power he had to

pull you over was the power you gave him.

‐ No! ‐ The same power he'll use on his next victim.

‐ No! ‐ How many have to suffer for your mistake?

No! Look, this is not my fault!

I was the victim!

Do you have any diea

what that feels like?

To have some man I don't even know

to have his hands all over my body?

He coulda had his way with me and there was nothing

I could do about it. Nothing!

I'm very sorry for what happened to you, Ella.

No one should ever be made to feel like that.

Thank you.

So are you gonna help me?

Yes.

I'll have an officer come in and write up the report.

No, no! No.

No I trust you. You and only you.

Listen, I sympathize with your plight.

But you need to sympathize with mine.

I went to bat for you.

I don't know what to tell you.

well maybe you can start by

what you're not telling me.

Either we can tackle this together...

or I walk.

Look, bro, I wasn't expecting a strike

but check this out.

The move that I got planned, it's gonna end that

and it's gonna put some paper in our pockets.

I don't know man.

I mean the last time I did a job with you

Lite ended up dead, I ended up on lockdown,

and you was the only one that came out of that situation untouched.

I know, I know man. I know.

But look, this not like the last time, okay?

Look I know exactly where the guns are.

I know exactly what time they movin'. And these guns?

Worth over a hundred stacks.

Listen man, I ain't tryin' to go back no matter what.

And I'm just statin' facts.

I mean all them years of doin' hard time

honestly, I'm just tired.

Hey babe. I'm on my way to pick up Jada from Brandy's house.

Uh babe, come, come over here and meet my boy Kendrick.

Me and him go way back babe. Kendrick, this Paige. Paige,

‐ this Kendrick. ‐ Hi. ‐ Hey.

‐ Nice to meet you. ‐ You too.

Have I met you before?

Uh, I‐ I don't think so.

You seem familiar.

Yo Bari, you ain't tell me you had this fine little honey dip here man.

Baby, get outa here before I have to beat this man with a stick.

Okay. Love you.

‐ All right. Drive safe. ‐ Mm‐hmm.

Mm!

Hey man, but on the real, you got a good life here.

Yeah but you know, it wasn't easy.

You know I knew I wasn't gonna get what I want bein' in Rex's shadow.

Hey man, to live like a boss

you gotta be a boss, you know?

To be a boss, you gotta boss up. And I understand if you

tired or whatever, but...

just let me know what you decide.

Boom! Twenty‐five, baby.

Make sure you grab your toothbrush and your things out of the bathroom.

But I don't wanna go.

Goin' home is all you've been talking about since you've been here Savannah.

Now I'm finally giving you what you want, ad you say you don't want to go?

No, this is what you want!

You're choosing her over me?

That's enough, Savannah.

Your sad face and your tears aren't going to work this time.

When I was your age, I would've got an ass‐whuppin' for what you pulled.

But your mother and I think it's best for you to go back home for now.

That's what's best for the situation.

No one was listening to me.

I had to do something to get your attention.

You were raised better than that.

So you're just gonna start a new family and forget all about me?

You're supposed to be there for me, too.

Honey... I‐ [Knocking]

Uh, uh,

come in.

‐ Hey. ‐ Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

No, no... perfect timing. Where you able to

situate her traveling?

Yes, I was able to get her a seat on your parent's flight back to New York.

You are a lifesaver, thank you.

Oh, no problem. Oh,

you gotta get going. You can't be late for your own wedding.

I just need to pack up the rest of this‐

Oh, no, no, no. I can finish it for you.

I'm, no it's fine, I'm‐

Really it's okay. I don't mind.

I'll make sure all this is done.

Okay. Thank you.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Okay.

[Savannah Sniffles]

Don't be sad.

I know it hurts right now.

But one day you'll understand.

But he doesn't believe me.

He believes her.

I don't want her to be my stepmom, Angela.

Neither do I.

Hey. How about we

take a picture with your new do? Hmm?

Would that cheer you up?

Yeah. There we go.

'Cause this braid is beautiful.

Aww. Okay here, let me get my phone.

Come on.

Yeah babe, it's just like old times.

Matter of fact, you know what? It's better than old times.

Tank is doin' his thing. We sellin' out crowds everywhere.

By the way, did you get the money I deposited, that cover everything?

Yeah, yeah. And then some

I think your dad has a crush on the new in‐home nurse.

Yeah that's how pops gets down.

So where you headed to next?

Chi‐town. Yup, be good to get back to the hometown again.

And you might want to stop by and see your mother

while you're there. I know you've been avoiding it.

Yeah, yes, maybe.

Um, look I gotta go. I gotta go to sound check. I will

call you when I get back to my phone, okay?

[Call Ending]

[Girls Chuckling]

That's him.

That's the guy.

W‐what guy?

That's the guy I saw kissing Christie.

That's him. He's in the same hotel with her.

What, wait... Savannah...

Yes! Go on, go on his page.

That's definitely him.

Now I see why you never missed a Sunday at church.

You just jealous you don't have what I have.

Okay bro, if you say so.

[Clears Throat] A gift from the groom.

And uh, you good?

Come on in here. Gather round fellas.

I've known this man for over a decade.

Now we used to, uh,

we used to tear up the streets in New York.

They used to call us the wrecking crew.

Oh Lord...

Well look, this guy,

this guy always had his eyes on this on girl who got away.

And today fellas

he's marryin' that girl.

‐ I'm so proud of you brother. ‐ Thank you.

To Levi.

Cheers.

Yup, you know me.

Yup, so strong.

[Clears Throat] Your chest hurt?

[All Laughing] Does his chest hurt!

Hey man, I'm just keepin' it minute man.

Hey you won't be harassin' all the bridesmaids.

‐ Ty, come on. ‐ You already know. I saw you in the hallway.

[Gasps]

Something old...

especially for me.

You take good care of it.

‐ Thank you. ‐ You're sure welcome.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Oh.

Well at least three out of four isn't bad.

Oh, I'm wearing something blue.

But that's for Levi to see later.

What about Levi? He's gonna be devastated.

Mm‐mm‐mm.

Is everyone gettin' tagged?

Girl this is so messy. Oh my goodness, should we say something?

No, I'm not.

I learned a long time ago not to get involved in grown folks' business.

Please. Everybody knows you are involved in everybody's business.

You know what I'm sayin'. [Chuckles]

You never know what's goin' on behind closed doors.

Yeah, until it's on social media.

Hey yo Moe, we back at it.

A long way from shoplifting beer and smokes from the liquor store.

But you gotta admit man, we're‐

Baby, right now is not a good time‐

Baby wait, don't say anything, just listen.

Hey yo when I was locked down, your name was out here ringin'.

So what about you, huh?

Wasn't enough, huh?

[Tamara] Wasn't enough that you had Levi, you had to come after

my husband all over again, right?

[Christie] Somebody get her out of here before she

ruins my wedding!

What is she talking about?

Tell everybody Christie.

Tell everybody! ‐ Hey, hey, hey, hey!

What's going on out here?

You wanna tell him or shall I?

Te‐ wh‐what, tell me what? What is she talkin' about?

Baby, she's crazy.

Somebody get her out of here!

‐ I'm crazy? Am I crazy? ‐ Now.

Get off of me!

Or is it that you are just a two‐timing

lying piece of trash?

Okay what is she talking about?

I'm talkin' about your fiancé.

She's still sleeping with my husband.

Go ahead, ask her who's baby it is.

Is it true?

Is this my baby, or is it Miles'?

Answer me!

Levi...

Levi, please. Levi!

Excuse me.

People of Cypress,

in case you're wondering what's going on out here

the Pastor's daughter, she sleeps with married men, okay?

And gets pregnant! Alright.

Carry on.

I can't‐ I gotta get out of here, I‐

‐ Christie. ‐ I, I can't‐

Get out of here!

So, she sleeps with married men,

[Tamara] she gets pregnant, and then she tries to pass the baby off as someone...

Get out of here now!

Gladly. 'Cause we ain't finished.

[Tamara] Christie! What do you think you're doing?

Get out of‐

Oh my gosh, what are you doing?

‐ Get out of here! ‐ Get off me!

Get off me Tam!

No, no, no, no, no! What are you doing?!

[Tires Squeal]

[Both Women Screaming]

[Heart Beating]

[Muffled Screaming]

No!

Oh, Lord!

Oh, no! No! Christie!

‐ Christie! ‐ Oh, no!

[Woman on PA] Dr. Travis, you have a‐

Tamara Calloway?

Tam. I got here as soon as I can. Are you okay?

‐ Are you okay baby? ‐ I'm okay.

How's the baby?

There is no baby.

‐ What‐what happened? ‐ You happened.

‐ What? ‐ Just can't keep it in your pants, can you?

Hmm?

‐ Tam what are you say‐ I don't know‐ ‐ I, I know, yeah.

You never know nothin' about nothin'.

You know for seven years I have gone through some of the

highest highs with you Miles.

And some of the lowest lows.

Tam baby listen, I know we've been through a lot, but we can continue‐

You. You promised me when we got married

that all the running around would stop, that all the

lies would stop, the late nights. You looked me in my eyes

and you told me that things were gonna be different.

You said you were ready for one woman. For me.

But you know what? You have not changed, you know that?

You are still the selfish,

pitiful, wannabe musician I met ten years ago

chasing a dream your daddy put in your head.

And you're never gonna get there. You wanna know why?

You are talentless.

[Chuckles]

You are a loser.

You‐ you are the definition of a one‐hit‐wonder.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Tam‐

Da, no, don't, don't, don't, don't. Your cheatin' ass don't get to say nothin'.

you just get to listen.

That's right.

I know you were with Christie at the Tank concert.

Look at you.

Just pitiful.

[Chuckles]

And I was in love with you.

‐ Tam‐ ‐ I told you to shut up!

Can't do that right either, huh?

I wanted to have your baby.

I wanted us to be a family, and see, I let that cloud who I knew you

really where.

Look at me.

Look at me!

I don't want you anymore.

I am...

finally free from you Miles. I can sit here

with clarity and say I never

NEVER want to see you again.

‐ No, I'm not‐ ‐ Get out!

[Cries]

Miles?

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Christie's.

I need to see her.

No. Don't you think you've done enough?

Is she okay?

No.

But you're not going to change that.

She lost the baby.

What's this?

Read it. It's right there.

Pastor Johnson was en route to Philadelphia at the time his son was killed.

Returned to Cypress as soon as he got the news?

You sure about this, Noah?

Airline records.

There was a revival in Philly he was scheduled to speak at.

He wasn't even in town.

Look, I know it's still raw, but...

at least you know now.

You know I do my best not to do dirt.

Have integrity, be honest.

For what?

you know it seems like everybody in my life is only

out for themselves.

And they all end up happy as hell.

See? Now...

So damn happy.

‐ Calm down, man. ‐ I am calm!

Bartender!

[Clears Throat]

Look man, he's comin' bro. Just, just wait a minute.

What's the problem?

Sittin' on the damn sideline my whole life waitin' for life to happen to me.

I ain't waitin' no more.

Everybody in my life is gettin' theirs.

It's about damn time I start gettin' mine, too.

Man, you startin' to worry me Levi.

You're not sounding like yourself.

You don' get it, do you?

That's the whole point, Ty.

Alright, alright, alright.

‐ That's enough, man. ‐ Nah...

I'm just gettin' started.

Ah!

[Hawkins] Twenty two guns smuggled out of evidence storage.

Without anybody noticing.

A dimwit like you doesn't have the brainpower to pull off a job that big.

Maybe I'm smarter than I look.

If you were, you'd know the right play here.

Gun trafficking is a felony.

Your buddies can't help you.

Not where you're going.

You're better off helping yourself.

Oops. [Chuckles]

You're a disgrace, Coop.

You give the uniform a bad name.

Don't you dare talk like you're one of us.

I paid my dues just like everyone else on the force.

Yet you turn your back on your own?

We're out there on the front lines every day

while you're out there frolicking with the Mayor.

I would die for my brothers in blue.

What makes you think I would rat them out to a snitch bitch like you?

Um...

Sorry to interrupt but, St. Charles really needs to have a word.

I'll give you a minute to think about how you're gonna get out of this.

Alvarez will keep you company while I'm gone.

Even walk like a man. Hmm.

Got yourself into a little trouble, did you?

Nothing I can't handle.

Good.

Because Rebecca

wouldn't be too happy if you sold her out.

If she goes down, we all do.

So keep your mouth shut.

[Knocking]

[Somber Music]

[Music Continues]

[Music Fades]

It's a shame, isn't it?

We never got a chance to take care of him.

Never had a chance to protect him.

But now we do.

We have to. Rebecca is coming for us, Ella Mae.

She knows about Kendrick.

We have to strike first.

On the next Saints & Sinners:

Come on in.

What's Rex Fisher doing in our living room?

Don't you want to see her behind bars?

Either kill or be killed.

And I'm gonna go after everybody that you love.

Levi, don't do anything you'll regret later.

This ain't over!
