James: We know we missed the signs with faith.

GRACE: Previously on Greenleaf...

So that's why you came all the way over here,

to tell me this in person... Mac just wins?

No, I actually came to say you may have one last shot.

- GRACE: I'll take it. - Deputy Mayor Leonard.

- Walk with me. - Skip.

- What? - I need a job.

I should've brought along a suitcase.

What you call that? [laughs]

A losing hand.

- Mm! - Ooh!

Is that the church's money you lost in there tonight?

- Most definitely. - Excuse me, Michaela?

I'm a pastor at Calvary Fellowship.

- Where Mr. McCready worked? - That's right.

What do you want to know?

- Kevin is gay. - What?

- So, are you happy now? - No.

If you ever need someone to talk to about whatever...

- Thanks. - I saw your uncle.

He came and asked me for a job.

- Don't. - Whoa, easy, easy.

JACOB: Man, I gotta drive home tomorrow and drive right past the lake

where my little sister drowned herself

because of what that man did to her.

You give him a job,

I'll take your ass apart six ways to Sunday.

- Who are those from? - Probably Darlene and Vida.

She had mentioned that they would... - What?

- You stay with the family. - Wait, where are you going?

[tires squealing]

GRACE: He did it again.

Honestly, Gigi, I don't think he ever really stopped.

DANIELLE: Then he put his hands down my pants.

I told him I'd tell.

He said no one would believe me.

Ah!

Ah!

[horn blaring]

Amen

[vocalizing]

Amen

[vocalizing]

Well

[vocalizing]

Amen, amen

DARIUS: Grace Greenleaf.

- Hey. - What's up?

[chatter]

Covered a lot of accidents.

Cars not half as damaged as that

and people don't walk away.

I know.

What?

Nothing. I'm lucky to be alive.

Oh, praise God. Where have you been?

MAE: We've been calling and calling.

- You all right? - I was in a car accident.

- What? - Are you hurt?

- I'm fine. - She's lucky to be alive.

- We don't believe in luck. - Then she must have

her own private angel following her around.

That, I don't doubt.

I had the car towed to Sanderson's,

and so Darius came to pick me up.

Well, how gallant of him.

First Lady, Bishop.

Nash.

And you must be Sophia.

- Thank you for bringing her home. - Anytime.

Happy belated birthday, by the way.

Thank you. What happened?

Thank you, Daddy. A deer ran across the road.

And I just... I swerved to avoid it.

- Well, you're home safe now. - GRACE: Yes, ma'am.

We don't want to keep you further.

Yeah.

I should probably be going.

- Call you tomorrow? - Yeah.

There you go.

- Thank you. - Okay, bye.

Nice home.

SOPHIA: I'll walk you out.

Thank you.

Your daughter's been worried sick about you.

She knew where you were headed.

Well, I didn't get there.

I think that's for the best.

Understood. I understand.

If you ask me, Gigi,

I don't think that just any deer.

I think that deer was sent by God to keep you

from doing something that you'd have had to regret.

Be advised.

Night, Daddy. Night, Mom.

MAE: Good night.

Do you want a heating pad or something?

An ice pack?

No, thank you, baby.

Thank you, though.

A lot of times it doesn't hurt until the next day.

That's what Dad told me when I got my car.

Well, if I wake up with whiplash,

you'll be the first person I contact.

Mom.

What?

You can't keep freaking me out.

I have my own life I have to live,

but I have to live it with you.

Just stop being crazy, please.

- I'm not being crazy. - If you were driving so fast

that swerving to not hit a deer totaled the car,

that's too fast!

What if you died?

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I know it drives you nuts that Mac's free,

but let it go.

Please.

I don't know that I can.

And I really don't know that I should.

Then what's gonna happen?

It is what it is. What will you do?

I don't know what to say, honey.

I don't want to lie to you

or pretend like it's all just over.

It's not. We all have our crosses to bear.

And you're becoming mine.

I'll drive slower, honey. I'll drive slower.

I'll drive sl... come on, baby.

Come here, come on.

That's the best I can do.

Okay.

Let's try this one more time, only let's not pee on Mommy.

I know you don't like this, but listen,

no one's ever gonna love you the way that I do.

The looks you're gonna get from people around the world

walking down the street, you're gonna long for these days

when somebody saw you for who you truly are,

just a helpless little child of God.

Yeah? Yeah?

[sighs] Let's get you dressed.

- Come on. - [coos]

[phone rings]

Hey, Jabari. What's up?

Too late to call?

Not at all. What's up?

What are the chances I can get you

on a flight to Nashville tomorrow?

I know it's short notice.

Yeah, I-I would have to see...

I seriously know it's last minute.

If you can't, don't worry about it.

No. Tell me, what's going on?

I got a group coming in from LA tomorrow.

They're gonna be here for a few days writing, recording.

I should have thought to call you sooner.

It just hit me now that you and them might be a fit.

Um... well, let me see if I can figure something out.

Can I have till the morning to try to make it work?

Yeah, yeah, just let me know.

There's a 3:30 flight.

You could make it in time to have dinner with us.

Okay.

I'll see what I can do.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

Now that it's too late.

What kind of grown-ass man, minister of the gospel,

gets messed up in this kind of shady foolishness?

Poker? Does Tasha know?

I don't know.

I bet she does.

She probably taught him how to play.

The two of them. Bonnie and Clyde.

I'm gonna make this right, baby.

How?

You just told me that the man

emptied the church's bank account.

That's not only sin, it's fraud.

What do we have to show for the past six months?

Nothing.

Knew I should've said something

when I found that money on the floor.

What money?

There was a $100 bill lying on the floor here.

- How does that happen? - Why didn't you tell me?

Seriously, Jacob?

I'm gonna figure something out.

You better, and it had better not be

you crawling back with your tail between your legs

to that mansion and that sneering-ass mama of yours.

I wasn't gonna say that.

Mm-hmm.

You think Elder Robinson will be strong enough

to make it to service this morning?

- We still have his coat. - Let's say yes, indeed.

- I'll get it. - [cell phone rings]

Who is that now?

Just... Sophia again.

Probably with some fresh mama drama.

You know, that new scarf I got you

would look straight heavenly...

with that outfit.

It's none of my business, but what kind of niece

calls her uncle so often?

Seems like every day.

The kind with a checked out father

a crank for a mother, and no one in the family

who treats her like she's as smart as she is.

So, she's some kind of genius?

Look at that. You see how beautiful that is?

Almost as beautiful as you.

Look, I'll have her back it down if it's bothering you.

I just like to be there for her if she needs me.

No, you do what you need to do.

I don't come between folks and family.

It's just a bit much, that's all.

You don't believe me, do you?

- I believe you. - So, what's the problem?

I knew who you were when we met.

- Meaning what? - What people said.

The hoops you were gonna have to jump through, I knew.

And I'm grateful the way you've always taken me at face value.

I mean it.

Then make it easier.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Then tell that girl to Kumbaya with her friends

and figure her out life like a normal teenage girl.

[chuckles] I just said I'll do that.

Thank you.

- And don't forget the coat. - "And don't forget the"...

[door opens, closes]

Here, I'm gonna leave her a message.

I don't want to go into worship with this hanging between us.

[line rings]

MICHAELA: Hello?

Hey.

I need you to stop calling.

My mom has gone freaking schizo.

We got into a fight and she hit me.

Oh, hon, I'm sorry to hear that, but...

I just need a place to crash.

I can't give you that. Not right now, anyway.

MICHAELA: Please.

I don't have anyone else.

I can't. I'm sorry.

[music playing]

CROWD: Come on, now.

Whoo-hoo!

[music playing]

- [knocks] - Pastor. Sorry to interrupt.

Not at all, brother. Just getting my amp on.

Gotta get that energy up. I know you feel me.

But perhaps you don't.

Have you got a plan or something?

- Plan for what? - How we're gonna deal with this.

Deal with what? You seem worried.

I don't like to see you this way.

The money, brother. The church's money.

- That's all taken care of. - How?

Did Bass Reeves make a trip to see Branson

- since I saw you last? - [chuckles] No.

But Basie Skanks is about to make a withdrawal

out of the bank of Heaven and set things right.

Look and learn! Whoo!

[applause]

Unfit to be looked at by the eyes of God,

I know it in my heart.

That's all you gotta do is say it.

Just cop to the truth of it and say it.

You're in sin. Just say it. I'm in sin!

ALL: I'm in sin!

Now, do you understand what's at stake if you don't?

If you keep this so-called secret to yourself?

[laughs] Your soul, brothers and sisters, your soul.

Oh! Oh! How I... how I pray!

No, no, no, no, no.

I pray for all y'all nightly, calling out,

rending my clothes, begging God to make you see.

- You gotta say it, I'm in sin! - ALL: I'm in sin!

Anybody who won't confess,

how do they think they'll ever get saved?

They won't! They flat-out won't!

Now, what I want to ask you to do right now,

and only if you feel it...

dig real deep down.

Dig real deep down and sow a seed of faith this morning.

Now, I'm not talking about no flaxseeds, no.

I'm not talking about no lettuce seeds, no.

I'm not talking about no small, tiny seeds, no.

I'm talking a beanstalk seed of faith!

[cheers and applause]

And I promise you, God gonna bless you

with a harvest like you've never seen.

We're gonna be reaping beanstalks up in Triumph, amen.

Amen, amen.

I told you before I started

this wasn't gonna be no regular service.

No, we getting "Skanktified" up in here.

Amen! Amen!

And it's not for me. This is not for me.

- This is for Jesus. - WOMAN: Yes!

Give it up for Jesus! Amen, amen.

MAN: Amen!

Now, a lot of pastors this morning,

I know, given the reading for the day,

they're preaching the wages of sin,

and sometimes, sometimes, that's what folk need to hear.

[murmurs]

But I want to talk about the gift,

the gift on the other side of that equation,

and our God who never stops giving,

never stops reaching out.

He never stops reaching out his hand saying, "Take it."

Can you feel the presence of the Lord?

He's here! He's here!

And he's reaching out his hand to you and he's saying, "Just take it."

Now, to sin... means to turn away.

To repent just means to turn back.

God is holding out His hand to you right now,

and he's saying, "Turn back from where you're headed

and walk with me!

Walk with me, and I know!

I know the road is long and hard road,

but we can get where we're going together!"

Oh, I feel him.

[applause]

Oh, I feel God's holy spirit coming on me right now!

Coming on me right now with bright wings!

CROWD: Yes!

Setting down upon me from above.

Oh, if you feel it too...

[applause]

...let me hear you say say amen.

Say amen! Say amen!

Hallelujah.

Whoo! Yeah, say amen!

- Say amen! - Thank you, father.

Hallelujah! Amen!

- Amen. - Whoo!

Zora: So it's okay if I go to the studio?

KERISSA: What's happening there?

Isaiah and the band are having a rehearsal.

- Did you finish your homework? - Mostly.

What, you want me to lie? I don't want to fall into sin.

Be back by 9:00 sharp.

- Okay. Bye, bye, bye, bye. - JACOB: See you, sweetie.

- [Kerissa sighs] - [chuckles] Where's she going?

Can you believe that man?

Telling everyone confess while he's up there

knowing what he's done?

[sighs] I got an idea.

I'm not sure I want us to come back to this church,

let alone helping to lead it?

This is a spiritual danger zone.

Hear what I just said?

You have an idea. What is it?

It's gonna be kind of expensive.

Money is cheap. Freedom is expensive. What's the plan?

We'll take the money that my parent's gave us,

and we'll use it for something that's ours.

[bleats]

- [gasps] - [Sophia laughs]

- Oh, my goodness. - I know.

- How'd it go with the Saints? - Great.

As soon as she picked him up to bring him to the kids,

- he fell right asleep. - And stayed that way the whole time.

[chuckles] Okay, that's kind of massively adorable, just like you.

Oh, my goodness. Did anyone take pictures?

- Lots. I'll text you some. - Oh, good, thank you.

So, what's next, Preacher Lady, huh?

You seem like you're in a good mood.

I'm getting there.

We're taking him back to East Meadow.

- Okay. - Good.

What restaurant am I meeting you and Darius at?

Farm & Table.

Sounds good. Drive safe.

- Ma'am. - Sir.

Hey, man, what you think about this place?

It's got a pool. No laundry, though.

Yeah, we gotta have on-site laundry.

- Hey. - CHARITY: Hey.

- Nice singing today. - Thank you.

He knew his mama was up there.

He smiled every time you soloed.

[laughs]

Kevie, I need to ask a favor.

Okay.

Can I go to Nashville?

- When? - In a few hours.

But I would be back late Tuesday

or Wednesday if it worked.

Sweetie, I don't even have an apartment yet.

You could stay at the house.

- Look, I know it's short... - You know what, no problem.

...and I know it's Jabari, but...

That works, actually.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, If your mom's cool with it, I'm cool with it.

- Go for it. - Thank you.

No problem.

Guess what?

Mama's gonna go write some songs.

Now you be a good little angel. You listen to your daddy.

He's the best. Seriously, Kevin, thanks.

Yeah.

You got it.

[sighs]

I am gonna go reheat that chicken.

Mmm, sounds good.

Pastor Kenny was on one today.

Wish he'd have reined himself in an hour or so early.

- I'm hungry. - Yeah, me too.

[cell phone rings]

- This is Robert. - SKIP: Mr. McCready.

Yes, Mr. Leonard, you don't usually do business on a Sunday.

Yeah, I'm making an exception.

About what?

That thing we talked about? Not gonna happen.

I thought we had an understanding.

I know you did.

But I'm already getting pushback.

I've got plans, and I can't be hampered

dragging your sick-looking ass alongside me.

Did she do this?

Did who do what? You did it to yourself.

Followed your demon. Now please, lose my number.

[click]

Who was that?

None of your business.

Excuse me?

Who the hell are you to always be asking somebody questions?

You've never done anything wrong?

I never said I was perfect.

Perfect? You are the most bottom shelf, off-brand piece

of rotten old ass I've ever laid hands on.

Get out.

- Don't do this, please. - I said... get out.

- Robert. - Get out!

- God, Robert, don't do this. - Go!

MICHAELA: Mr. McCready?

It's me. You still need a place to stay?

I worked it out.

The "Brick by brick" part might have been a little flat,

but you can always punch in.

So, yeah. Cool.

You wanna do it?

We could just get that now and move on.

ZORA: Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, hold on.

- Talk to you a second? - Yeah.

- Don't do that. - Do what?

You know what you did. And in front of all them?

- What do you... - Babe, you asked...

And now you're interrupting me?

You must forgot who I am, huh?

I brought you in that room.

You sit there, you watch. That's it!

And if I ask what you think,

you think it was great or you shut up!

You understand me?

- I got it. - Do you got it?

Got it.

All right, let's run it.

We pay the debt. You give us Triumph II.

That way, the money gets replaced, and you don't go to jail.

No one has to know.

Well, look who got some nutsack.

- Basie, man, come on. - Don't come on, Basie, man me.

- I'm trying to help you. - Help?

- Yes. - I took you from worst to first.

Been going out and building you a church.

- This how you gonna do me? - What other options do you have?

Look... nobody has ever appreciated anybody

as much I appreciate what you've done for me.

I told you, you're like a brother to me. I mean it.

Enough of your silver tongue. God'll get his money back.

- You're delusional. - No, you delusional

thinking anybody gonna come within five feet

of working with you again after the way you cut me like this.

And where you gonna get that kinda money anyway,

to cover my ass and then some, huh?

- We have it already. - Seriously?

Yes. It was a wedding present.

I'm astounded by the depth of the betrayal,

the underhanded way you cut me.

- I'm just astounded! - Basie!

Now, you and I both know

you mess with black people's money,

they gonna rise up and take it back.

That's the God's truth.

Now, you just stop dreaming.

You let us fill that bank account.

You and Tasha can leave us the deed to the land,

and you walk free and clear.

You keep your church, and we get ours.

That's the deal, brother.

MAN ON TV: That's correct!

- [click] - WOMAN: Welcome to...

How about...

- You've got opinions. - I have taste.

There's nothing else good to watch.

Five hundred channels and change

and you say there's nothing else to watch.

Explore.

Have you ever seen "Imitation of Life"?

No. What's that?

It's a movie. A good movie.

- Old? - Not old, classic.

Trust me.

[music playing]

She didn't know where I was, now I don't know where she is.

Karma's a bitch, huh?

She's probably driving and ignored her phone

like she's supposed to.

Yeah, she is kind of stunningly well-behaved

for a kid who has every right to be an absolute mess.

Seems like you're doing a great job.

From the little I saw.

- You folks ready to order? - We're waiting for one more.

Of course.

Why don't you call her and see if she pulls over.

No, no, no, I don't want to be that nagging mother.

She'll be here.

- What took you so long? - My phone died, I got lost.

I've been waiting here forever.

I'm sorry, I'm not from here. Are you okay?

I'll tell you when we get in the car.

- Wait. - Shh, it's okay.

Get off.

- Just kiss me. - Get off me, no.

- Just... just... just... - Stop.

- You're hurting me! - Just listen to me.

Stop!

Ow! Get off me!

No! Get off!

[grunting]

[screams]

[groans]

- [growls] - [yelps]

- Rough day? - [scoffs]

Rough year. Years.

I don't know.

Any luck finding a new place yet?

No. No.

It's okay fine for now, with Charity coming and going.

Sooner or later, gotta find my own.

There is nothing out there.

You know, one way to find a good place

is to put up an old-fashioned "Wanted To Rent" ad in the paper

or on Craigslist, whatever.

See, there's all these old people

with cool guest homes and stuff,

and they don't want to be legally required

to just rent them out to just anybody,

so they don't... they don't advertise, but they'll reply.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah.

- You want another? - No, no, no, I'm good.

[chuckles]

Little man's gonna wake me up at 3:00 a.m., I know it.

Yeah. I guess I'm good, too.

Hey, uh...

thanks for being so nice to me.

Through all this.

It's been...

Just thanks.

Of course.

- I'm sorry about this. - Stop it, don't be silly.

If she hit traffic, okay, but to... I mean to not pick up her phone.

Are we still waiting on our third?

You know what, no, I'm just gonna order for her.

- Okay. - Why don't you go first?

- Now what do we have? - [cell phone vibrates]

I'm sorry, will you excuse me?

What do you want?

MAC: Should've left it alone, Gigi.

- Left what alone? - Skip Leonard!

What? What are you talking about?

- You should've left it alone. - What have you done?

You think there's not gonna be consequences,

- messing in my life? - Mac, what have you done?

- You should've left it alone. - Mac?

- [click] - Mac.

- Everything okay? - I don't know. I gotta go.

- You want me to... - No, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

- ROBERTO: Hello? - Hey, Roberto?

- It's Sophia's mom. - Hey, Ms. Greenleaf.

Hey, have you heard from Sophia?

ROBERTO: No, she dropped me off a couple hours ago,

maybe three hours ago.

- Is everything okay? - You know, I don't know, honey,

but if you hear from her,

will you have her call me, please?

- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.

[pounding on door]

- Where is she? - Who?

Where is she? Sophia!

- Get out of my house. - Tell me where she is.

- Tell me where my daughter is! - Who knows?

Maybe she can't stand to be around you either.

This has nothing to do with her Mac.

- This is between you and me. - No, this is between you and you.

I ain't done nothing to nobody.

Yeah, you did. You hurt those girls. You are sick!

Danielle and Vida and Faith! Did you hurt my daughter?

- I didn't hurt anybody! - Yes, you did.

And you best get the hell out of my house!

No! Where is she? Where's my daughter?

- Stupid bitch! - [screams]

You wanna play, little girl, huh?

You wanna play? Come on! Let's play!

- Come here! - [screams]

- Come here! - Mac! No! No!

They didn't do anything they didn't want to.

[grunts]

Tell me where my daughter is.

[choking] Call an ambulance.

Tell me where she is.

Tell me. Where. She is.
