Previously on Saints and Sinners.

Tamara's baby was still alive.

My grandmother just let me think

it was dead.

This is your son.

I'm so sorry.

A recall petition can be rescinded even after certification

by the petitioner. Her address is on there too.

[Knocking]

We're gonna expose you for the fraud that you are.

You're not gonna be able to cover your tracks forever,

especially now that everyone knows what you are.

And what is that?

The devil!

I had my attorney file for legal guardianship of you and your estate.

Remittance to Cypress County Psychiatric Ward

for reasons of mental defect.

You thought that you could steal babies from young girls out the hood

and no one would notice?

The Upsurge deal has officially closed.

I own this building now.

Any construction plans gotta go through me.

Which is why I received a special permit from the governor.

I'm gonna need to resort to some drastic measures.

I'm just happy the time has come where we can run this town together.

[Radio] ...Turn out the general assembly last year.

what makes you think you have a shot this year?

I believe in this legislation,

and I'm willing to think outside the box.

To show the good people of Georgia that by passing this bill,

show they're voting for a brighter

more economically sound future.

We've been discussing legalizing gambling here in Georgia

‐ ...with Senator Hayes. ‐ Not too sweet.

You're all the sugar I want in my coffee.

Thank you, S... [Radio cuts out.

How you doin', baby?

I'm good. How are you?

Good morning.

Oooh, that's nice. I like that.

Why don't you call in this morning

so we can spend the day together.

Mmm [Sighs], well I'd love to but

I'm meeting with the senator today.

One of these times, you're gonna give in to my request, Mayor Johnson.

Well today is not that day

Mr. Rex Fisher.

Just so you know, I made dinner reservations for tonight.

Well, I was kinda hopin' for a

a nice evening at home.

You know Ella, a man only has but so much patience

And hidin' our relationship is startin' to wear on mine.

Just because I don't want all my business out there does not mean that we're hidin'.

I'm not so sure you can say your personal business ain't in them streets, Ella.

You might wanna check this out.

Those two are the bane of my existence.

Yeah well, I underestimated Jabari's grit.

How can you take it from that boy?

He chose Malik over you, and he hasn't done a thing to help you get your businesses back.

The boys always went in for this blood family, Ella.

I can't fault him for that.

Now he'll come around once the novelty of his little brother wears off.

Yeah. When do you suppose that will be?

When Malik is in the ground.

[Instrumental Music]

You know I had to release the investigation today.

‐ These bastards are starting to get the best of me. ‐ Hm.

Look, I gotta go. Lock up.

Sure.

I have never steered this company in the wrong direction.

Location, work force and zoning permits are still at the top of my list.

And Cypress is still the best city to build our new headquarters.

Regardless of what Felicia told you.

[Knocking]

I'm still CEO.

And my decision to stay the course has not changed.

[Reciever drops]

Pressure from the board?

The least favorite part of my job.

Well, I got some good news for you.

Insurance company finished the investigation.

We should have a check by the end of the month.

And I'll be able to file those building permits.

It's about damn time.

So we're clear?

Yeah, they said the accelerant was cooking oil in the church's kitchen.

[Instrumental Music]

[Sighs]

So what about the body?

Accidental.

Yeah. Wrong place at the wrong time.

So Ella fooled 'em.

Or she got them on the payroll.

[Scoffs]

[Sighs]

It's just gonna make it that much sweeter when we take her down.

You still got that contact at City Hall?

Yeah.

Think she'll help?

I mean I can work on her.

[Buzzer]

[Door slams]

[Background voices]

That you got there, celly?

Nothin'.

Nuttin'?

Don't look like nuttin'.

Come on. Cough it up.

Teeny, it's just a matter of days now.

Keep your head up and stay out a trouble.

I love you, Mom.

Well ain't that sumpin'.

Mommy pullin' some strings for you.

Complainin' you don't like it here again?

‐ No, I didn't ask‐‐ ‐ You're gettin' on my nerves, PK.

Thinkin' you better than the rest of us.

‐ I never asked for‐‐ ‐ Shut up!

Let's see what kind of trouble you get into with me.

Uh! [Yelps]

Oh no, please!

‐ Did they have the‐‐ ‐ Turmeric.

Okay.

How was he?

Perfect as always.

Listen, later this week I have a prep session for the

hospital arbitration. Are you gonna be able to watch him?

I got some studio time booked

but I can move it.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Cole will be okay with it.

Wait, what the hell?

[Dramatic Music]

How is this even possible?

What is it?

Christie Johnson is up for parole.

[Paper crinkles]

[Suspenseful Music]

Senator, it is so good to see you.

It has been far too long, Mayor Ella.

Well I'm just glad that you were able to fit me into your schedule but

you know I would've come to you.

Well, I've been out here on this farewell tour

[Laughter] It's better to press the flesh in the communities.

Yes, well the constituents do

‐ ...want to see their representatives. ‐ [Laughter]

Let me get right down to business.

May I sit for this?

Where are my manners? I'm so sorry. Please, have a seat.

‐ Thank you. ‐ A can I get you some water?

‐ A yes, please. ‐ You know I'm parched.

Been down here runnin' my mouth.

[Both chuckle]

You know, I love being mayor of Cypress.

And my numbers prove that I've been effective in the job.

Yes, I've been watching you.

Last year I was able to decrease violent crimes by 5%

and property crimes are lower by 10%.

Well those are remarkable numbers for anyone.

Cypress continues to attract new businesses to our industrial sector.

This foreplay you're givin' me is so

enticing, Ella.

[Instrumental Music]

Do you have a point?

You will be retiring at the end of this term.

There it is .

[Chuckling] Now may I finish?

You a want an endorsement.

Imagine what I can do in the state senate, Doug.

Mm, you have been a wonderful mayor

of Cypress.

Cypress is a very small town

The state senate is a place

Sorry, I'm not saying that you're not qualified.

Aren't you?

Let's be frank, Ella.

Your a family situation is just not the image that

people want in their leaders.

If you look at the upper house, there's only 12 women there.

You know what it took to get them there?

Do you really think that you have what it takes to go toe to toe against the competition

during this election?

Yes I do. I know what I want, Doug.

I want your senate seat.

And as you just pointed out, it's harder for women.

But I'll have a major leg up with your support,

‐ ...and the support of your donors. ‐ Alright, Ella.

Now why should I back you up?

What if

I could pass your casino legislation?

I would say that a

you learnin' how to play this game.

[Snickers]

But that's not what she said 5 minutes ago.

She said I could have my tea in my room today.

You have a visitor, so your tea's gonna be in the common area.

This is Mr. Saint Charles.

[Chair slides]

She's out of it today, so don't push her too much.

Alright, I mean it.

Last time she got this whole room worked up.

‐ I got it. ‐ Alright.

Mrs. Leona Byrd.

Wife of Pastor Byrd, First lady of Greater Hope Baptist Church of Cypress.

Perhaps you've heard of us?

Indeed I've I've heard of all the things you've done.

[Chair slides]

I would like to ask you some questions about the

Our Girls, Our World program.

Oh, yes.

It teaches young girls to respect themselves.

It helps them to get back on the right track.

Hm.

There was a school associated

with the program?

Yeh, you would send some of the girls there?

Oh, yes that was a

very special place.

By my count, you have over a

hundred graduates.

Yeah, huh.

I was wondering if your husband

was involved with the girls?

Oh, no. I kept him out of the business of the school.

So he didn't have any interaction with the students?

Why would he?

He was too busy with the church.

I have reason to believe he knew Gloria Stewart.

Who?

An Our Girls, Our World participant and graduate

of your school.

[Instrumental Music]

Malik Thompson and Jabari Morris's mother.

She was committed in this very hospital.

Well I wasn't familiar with all the girls.

Are you sure?

I thought you would know her.

She told me she knew your husband.

My husband died in a fire.

Why are you askin' these questions?!

Who are you!?

[Loud shuffling]

Mih Mrs. Byrd now, I know

I know you are an avid gardener.

Hm?

Yes.

Peonies.

My mother loved peonies.

They are difficult to grow in the South.

You must take special care to see them fully develop.

Do you use fertilizer on your flowers?

Oh yes, it's very important.

And a bit of compost. Many people leave out that part.

Did you use a particular kind?

Well a of fertilizer.

Ah ah do you have a pen?

[TV] The investigation is requiring [Indistinct]

of last year was officially closed today after police

ruled the death of the unnamed victim accidental.

This clears Upsurge to finally begin construction

bringing with it thousands of new jobs.

I know my daughter killed that woman.

I saw her blood on her hands.

Okay, visiting hours are over.

[Dramatic Music]

I spent the better part of my life buildin' that network,

and that weasel took what was mine. He stole it.

And you know I won't tend to let things like that go too easy.

Now I'm playin' it nice, you understand,

because I know what it means to you, Jabari.

‐ You know how I do it. ‐ Yeah. I know, old man.

Okay, you know what?

Look, I'm a work on it, alright?

‐ But I can't make no promises. ‐ Yeah, well I appreciate you.

Look here. How you holdin' up?

‐ Honestly? ‐ Yeah.

I'm worried about Jada.

She's quiet, you know. She keeps everything inside.

She's strong just like her mama.

Yeah, but no little girl should be that strong.

She hasn't laughed in a year.

It's killin' me.

Listen man, I'd be lyin' to you if I said it got any easier.

But you gotta hang in there with her.

Let's go see if Tony got some new cigars.

‐ Get you a drink. ‐ Yeah.

‐ One of these Cohibas ‐ [Chuckles]

[Knocking]

[Sighs]

Hey, I gotta make this quick. My guy put his ass on the line for this.

[Door shuts] You were supposed to make copies.

‐ You make copies. I brought the file. ‐ [Sighs]

My God, Noah!

Damn, this place is a mess.

[Instrumental Music]

Look at this shoddy work.

There's tragically nothing here.

Hello, national news.

[Paper rattles] You get the scoop

after she gets arrested.

[Paper crinkles]

You've got to be close.

‐ Look at all this. ‐ [Sighs]

‐ Missing link. ‐ [Sighs]

I'm still working through it, Sam.

That's all you gonna give me?

I brought you the file, Noah.

I'll let you know when I have something more concrete.

[Instrumental Music]

[TV] Deaths rose sharply across several states this year,

and opioids are the leading cause.

‐ We have an epidemic.

It's about stopping the growth of the addicted.

Most of the people we are seeing were first introduced to the drugs

by their doctors,

prescriptions for legitimate injury or pain related issues.

‐ John will continue covering the health industry's debate on

regulation of prescription practices

versus doctor/patient education in his investigation report throughout the month.

Mayor Ella Johnson recently met with the State Department of Education

in what she described as an opportunity

to advance the next generation of leaders.

The mayor's approval rating continues to rise on the heels of a very successful

first year in office.

[Snickering]

So Cypress will serve as a pilot town for the bill.

We incubate the casino here, and prove that it's a viable investment option

for state‐funded college scholarships. I mean

our youth will graduate debt‐free. Debt‐free!

Can you imagine? Giving our residents a leg up like that?

That's wonderful.

‐ Oh. ‐ You sound like a career politician, Ella Mae.

‐ From your lips to God's ears. ‐ You want some more wine?

Oh, yes.

Oh God you you should've seen it.

He was so predictable once I laid it all out for him.

That's great. So he's backin' you?

Mmm well, I still have to pass the bill, but yes.

Hmm.

‐ And the best part... ‐ What's that?

is we can be seen in public.

‐ Since we'll be working together. ‐ That's great.

I mean once the RF security company has granted

your bid to protect the money and the property.

But that's, that's work, Ella.

No, Rex. That's progress.

It is Ella, but it's not what I want.

Oh baby, but it's what I can give.

Listen to me, Ella Mae.

When are you gonna realize

I'm the only thing you need.

Do you remember the first time we met?

Of course I do.

‐ It was right after my father's funeral. ‐ Mm hm.

And my world had just exploded.

And then there you were.

And you were so young.

So raw. So innocent.

‐ And you were so confident. ‐ Hm hmm.

I didn't think I'd ever feel love again but

you showed me the light.

And I had hope.

And then you got yourself locked up.

And Kendrick was taken away.

And I had to bury the Ella that you knew and become

someone else to survive.

Leona's dutiful daughter, Evan's perfect wife.

I had to put others before my wants and needs.

Now for the first time, I can get what I want.

Rex, I can make a difference.

And Cypress is just the beginning.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

Yeah. I understand, Ella.

No one can ever know about us.

[Instrumental Music]

We agreed to keep our friendship and our personal lives separate.

‐ I know. ‐ The people are just startin' to trust me there.

And that's why I'm askin' you.

Look I know Ella had a had in delaying the church fire investigation, so

thinkin' she either has the police department, or fire department or both

in her back pocket, I need somebody on the inside too.

I like my job, Jabari. I'm good at it.

And you're askin' me to jeopardize my future.

Angela, Ella is evil.

That bitch is evil. You know it.

I know everybody knows it.

Look, all we need to do is find out how deep her corruption goes, that's it.

And you think the chief is just gonna hand over the file to me?

Don't sell yourself short, now.

I mean, you got somethin' that others don't.

The chief will definitely respond to you.

And what's that?

Charm.

Look, you're quick on your feet. You're smart.

I wouldn't trust this to anybody else.

You are trouble.

[Instrumental Music]

[Gasps] Christie, Oh my God! What happened?

‐ Mom, oh no! ‐ Do not touch the prisoner!

‐ [Christie crying] ‐ You cannot touch the prisoner. ‐ She's my daughter.

[Sobbing]

Listen, they won't let me inside, baby, but I'm gonna be right here when you come out.

Okay?

Let's go.

‐ Yeah. ‐ Let's go!

‐ [Sobbing continues] ‐ I love you. Stay strong, Christie!

‐ Miles...what are you doing here? ‐ Am I late?

[Door opens]

‐ Miles Calloway? ‐ Yes.

‐ They're ready for ya. ‐ Miles, what's goin' on?

Me and Tamara were summoned to testify.

Mr. Calloway, they're waiting!

Miles, get my baby out. You know she's a good person, and I know you loved her once.

She's not gonna make it in prison, Miles. They'll kill her.

‐ Mr. Calloway. ‐ Miles, please!

Miles!

Miles.

[Instrumental Music]

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

[Gasps]

Oh!

You get these off of her.

Now!

[Handcuffs jingling]

Oh baby.

[Sobbing]

Keep it together. Don't let anyone see you weak.

[Deep exhale] Oh sweetie.

Oh it's okay. It's okay.

[Sniffling]

Let's go home.

[Radio chatter]

That wasn't part of the deal.

I'm not happy about it either, but who am I to argue with her?

Just deal with it. I gotta go.

Heh, sorry about that.

So, you said you wanted to review the Greater Hope case?

For the mayor.

She was adamant about me checking a few details.

Interesting,

since that case

is sealed

[Instrumental Music]

on the mayor's orders.

I have learned not to question...when by boss requests something.

[Laughter] I'm just messin' with ya.

Who wants to piss off the mayor, am I right?

[Both chuckle]

It was here earlier. Just...

[Shuffling items]

Oah, here we go.

[Background chatter]

Good thing you came in when you did.

That scheduled to be destroyed at the end of the week.

Sheri Tucker.

Who?

No one.

[Phone ringing]

You mind?

[Background chatter continues]

[Distant phone ringing]

That's it?

I was only supposed to check a few specific details, and I've done that.

Well, let me know if you ever need anything else.

I'll be sure to reach out.

[Instrumental Music]

[Phone ringing]

Chief speaking.

I'm not a chemist, Noah.

This is a breakdown of the exact

fertilizer Leona uses in gardening.

And?

And this is a chemical match taken from Debra Chase's body.

[Instrumental Music]

‐ The cheerleader? ‐ Yeah.

Leona killed Debra Chase.

Whoa. That's a leap.

That's not a smoking gun. That's not even a confession.

It's damning.

But it won't hold up in court.

‐ She's not crazy. ‐ We both know that.

She's only there so Ella can keep her quiet.

The drugs are doin' a good job at that.

Okay, so you have a connection with Debra Chase.

We know that Leona buried Kendrick alive.

Rowena's still a question mark.

What about the fires?

I think Ella had somethin' to do with them both.

The accelerant matched.

You coulda led with that.

There's more.

Leona has been helpful.

Guess who originally filed the mayor's recall election

and was a victim of the fire?

Coincidental?

[Laughter] No such thing.

How did you get this?

You don't wanna know.

There was not a lot of police work done.

Filed as accidental, which is bogus!

So you think Ella did this?

Absolutely.

Okay, the first thing we need to do is get our hands on that original file.

This time, legally!

[Sighs]

Hey Martin, it's me.

Listen, I need a court order to unseal some records.

I'm gonna send a request over.

I need you to expedite it.

Great. Listen, Noah St. Charles is gonna come sit in your office until

the request goes through.

[Chuckles] I know.

Thanks, Martin.

[Instrumental Music]

[Humming]

Miles!

[Humming continues]

Miles!

[Humming continues]

‐ Miles. ‐ ♪ Oh no, oh no, oh no

‐ What did you do?! ‐ What the‐‐?

I just got a call saying that Christie Johnson was released on parole.

The only way that could happen is if we were to testify on her behalf

I know that's not the case because we agreed we weren't gonna do that.

No, Tam.

You agreed you weren't gonna do that.

She brought our son back to us.

She's the reason Austin was taken away in the first place!

I wish you would see she's not a bad person.

She's a victim too. Her family, her grandmother‐‐

You're kidding me, right now, right? You think she's the victim?

You chose that slut over your family again.

I chose to do the right thing, Tam. Forgive her.

And I wish you could see that this is what we need to do to move on.

This is a betrayal.

Tam.

Right.

Tam!

[Instrumental Music]

It's important during this arbitration that you come across as confidant,

coherent.

The hospital attorney's going to be basing her case off of your testimony.

We need to be buttoned up.

Hey, everything okay?

I'm not sure what's going on with her today.

She's unresponsive.

Thank you.

Why don't you get her some water?

Mmm, Miles testified

in Christie's parole hearing.

[Instrumental Music]

Now she's walking around here free.

I can't even imagine what he said.

How am I even gonna sleep under the same roof with him now?

He's a fool for not doing everything in his power to keep you safe.

And to take care of you.

You deserve to be happy, Tamara.

Thank you, Malik.

Yes.

[Shallow breathing]

‐ [Knocking] ‐ Just a just a minute.

[Whispering] Just a just me.

[Shuffling]

[Pills rattling]

Uah!

‐ Crap. ‐ [Knocking]

I'm I'm almost done.

[Phone vibrating]

[Instrumental Music]

‐ Him, Mom. ‐ Hey, baby.

Just checkin' on you.

Yeah.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Are you sure?

I've read that the first couple a days out can be

a very difficult transition time.

Yeah, Mom. I'm okay, Mom.

Great. Listen honey, I I think you should join me

at the Cornerstone celebration tonight.

We could all use a bit of faith right now.

Yeah. Yeah, that sound that sounds fine.

Great. Um, Teeny?

[Sniffling] Yeah.

Baby, we can get through anything as long as we have each other.

You hear me?

Yeah.

I love you, baby.

I love you too, Mom.

[Sniffling]

It's not your fault.

If I never gave her Sheri's name, she would still be alive.

I know she's ruthless but I never thought that she would have someone killed.

Look, you don't understand the lengths that Ella will go to to get what she wants.

Oh my God.

What if the Chief tells her I was snoopin' around?

Oh my God. Okay.

Look Angela, calm down.

Hey, look at me.

I have to quit.

Listen, we have to stop her. Don't you want to stop her?

To do that, we need the truth.

If we're gonna finally take her down,

that means that you have to stay close.

But what if she finds out that I made the Chief of Police unseal a case...for me.

You were just doin' your job.

Okay, and she can't contradict you without implicatin' herself.

[Instrumental Music]

She's not gonna trust me.

Look you don't need Ella to trust you.

You just make sure that you don't do anything to get fired, okay.

Okay.

These are exciting times while we look to open our doors to all

who seek spiritual nourishment.

I would like to acknowledge our mayor

whose family's vision, dedication, and drive

first built a home for our services

and a place for our faith to grow.

[Clapping and applause]

Amen.

And, today we have been

blessed with a benefactor who shows

grace and compassion for our congregation

in our relocation and construction

of our new home. Amen.

[Cheering and applause]

Tonight as we celebrate this beautiful beautiful building,

it is only befitting that we take a moment to reflect

on God's grace as he is

the cornerstone to all of our lives.

‐ Amen...Amen ‐ [Crowd] Amen!

Now as we christen our new home, we also announce

a brand new name for our church

New Hope Baptist Church.

Amen.

[Cheering and applause]

Amen.

Now look at that.

I took your church, your legacy,

and I'll be taking your freedom soon too.

With each of you, our church will grow

and we'll be able to reach more souls

and bring them to the house of the lord.

Amen.

[Cheering and applause]

[Muffled chatter]

It's really good to see you back at church.

I feel like a pariah.

Family forgives.

It may take some a little longer to come around though.

Have you seen my mother?

The last time I saw her was

right after the church renaming.

Greater Hope is being renamed?

Was renamed.

New Hope Baptist Church.

I thought it was time to turn over a new leaf.

Tam, what are you doin'?

Why are your bag packed?

Those aren't my bags.

[Instrumental piano music]

They're yours.

[Music stops]

What the hell are you doin' in my house?

Noah. Wow, you have really been busy

since your retirement.

You know, I heard that you checked out a very special file so a

I thought I'd stop by so we could have a little chat.

I mean you could only imagine my surprise when I saw what you were working on.

And your unsolved case is up for anyone to see.

You've used your position and power

to pull the wool over everyone's eyes, but I know who you really are.

[Bottle rests] ‐ And who's that?

‐ A killer. ‐ Mmm.

Noah, you make it sound so

ugly.

Now you know it's not like that.

Please, have a seat.

Because sweetie, you deserve the truth.

Now I see that you figured out that Leona killed Debra.

You know I thought I did, and my mother let me believe that.

And then you figured out that she was buried alive.

Oh my God. I can only imagine how horrifying that must have been.

Now Sheri, well...Sheri was going to take me down.

Now obviously I beat the recall election so

I know that wasn't true.

But at the time well, that's what I believed.

Here.

Why are you telling me all this?

Well cause you've worked so hard. I mean oh!

and Noah you are so close!

I mean, look at all that you have accomplished.

So well I felt that the least I could do

would be

to tell you the truth.

Oh wow, Noah.

[Gunshot]

You really did some good work.

[Quiet footsteps]

Damn, Ella.

You didn't even let the man finish his drink.

You cold‐blooded.

Did you find it?

Rex, clean up this damn mess.

I got you, Ella.

This season on Saints and Sinners.

Saint Charles won't be back.

I made sure of that.

Despite a few bumps, everything is falling into place.

Rex Fisher is a waitin' for his reward.

Baby right now we just can't afford any surprises.

My endorsement comes with a couple strings attached.

One of those strings is tied to the church.
