Previously on "A House Divided"...

Well, as you can see, uh, it is quite a generous offer.

Over my dead body.

I don't care how many zeros they wave at us.

Mr. Sanders, in your situation, you can't afford to be lax.

I'm fine.

I know how to take care of myself.

[ Coughing ]

We need to find out how they got some of these files.

Looks like we got a little bit of a problem, Miss Triva.

Maybe we can work something out.

He's never gonna love you the way I loved you.

Goodbye, Tito.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

What I need right now is space.

Cam, I can't promise that I'm gonna be here.

You need to make a move.

I need my elephant back.

And if you don't take care and protect yourself,

I will do it for you.

My granddaughter did inform me about this other situation.

Don't disappoint me.

TITO: Carissa! Get out here, baby!

That's my woman in there!

-I told you! Go inside! -No! You can't --

-BENJAMIN: Right now! -CARISSA: You're gonna hurt him!

-[ Mid-tempo music plays ] -Unh. Unh. Whoo!

Nice life

We will live good

[ Piano playing down-tempo music ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Music slows, ends ]

You light up my life.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Hey.

[ Clears throat ]

Oh, okay.

All right. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

[ Exhales deeply ] Yeah.

[ Lighter clicks ]

[ Coughs ]

Now, you know you should give those up, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

Hey, if my hourglass is almost empty, Murray,

I'm gonna live it up to the fullest!

You know, just like we used to do...

-Whoo! -...in the good old days, man.

Yeah, we did have some crazy times, didn't we?

-That's right. -Man.

Hey.

Ran through those Panamanian women like a freight train.

Yes, we did.

But five of them at one time?

Come on, now.

You know that that was too much, Benjamin.

I don't know.

Best $150 I ever spent.

[ Laughs ]

Just don't forget.

You know, do what you promised you was gonna do.

Take care of my grandson, okay?

Look, I told you I'll make it go away,

get it dropped down to a misdemeanor,

some community service, maybe.

Mm-hmm.

But I'll take care of it.

As long as that other kid doesn't testify,

we'll be just fine.

All right. Yeah. Hey, sounds good.

Look, I just had a lunch date with the parents yesterday.

Sent them on a nice trip to Maui.

All right.

[ Both laugh ]

Yeah. Look.

You've been a great friend over the years, Benjamin,

and I told you I wouldn't forget it.

Now, uh, can I depend on you when I run for Senate next year?

Does a bear shit in the woods?

[ Both laugh ]

My man.

All right.

Hey, man.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

It took you long enough.

Well, somebody's got to do damage control around here.

Look, you got to get Cammy under wraps.

He is too doggone volatile,

letting those doctors put him on that Ritalin.

Doctors should never be putting no kids on no drugs.

That's some white people's bullshit.

Yeah, and people playing doctor at home --

That's black people's bullshit.

Yeah.

Well, my daddy, your grandpa,

he had some Ritalin for me, all right --

a smack upside my head, a belt on my behind.

Now, your mama, she wouldn't let me beat you kids.

But the Bible says, "Spare the rod, spoil the child."

Right.

So now we can all enjoy making better decision standards

by science.

Yeah, but too much science and not enough common sense.

That's why you had to bail your son out of jail.

My daddy, he would have let me rot up in that jail

till I'm old as I am now.

[ Siren wailing ]

Pull over.

[ Siren stops ]

What's going on?

Special Agent Barnes, Security and Exchange Commission.

This is my partner, Agent Nemis.

Now, you're not under arrest at this time,

but we would like to invite you down to the station

to answer a few questions.

For what?

Please follow us.

As I said, you're not under arrest at this time.

This time?

This won't take long at all.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Door closes, engine starts ]

CAM: That's it, Torrance. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go. Pick it up.

Three more. Three more. Let's go.

Come on.

-[ Grunts ] -Let's move.

Yep. Go. Go. Go. That's right.

Touch light. That's how we make a champion.

That's how you become a champion.

Kick it out. Kick it out.

Come on. Touch.

Torrance, let's go!

Torrance.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Hey, we're not done.

Hey, what's wrong?

I just miss her, bro.

Things would be so much different

if she was still here, man.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Yeah.

When you're in those bright lights,

she's gonna be proud of you.

You think so?

I know so.

I'm proud of you every day.

[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]

You make me proud.

Thanks, big brother. I love you, man.

Always.

That's what I'm here for, superstar.

Yeah.

But you know what?

What's up?

We're not done yet.

[ Chuckles ]

What you laughing at? Get your ass out there.

That's how you make a champion, right?

-Let's go, little big bro. -[ Grunts ]

That's it. Touch light.

Touch light! Touch light! Come on!

-Come on! Come on! -[ Grunts ]

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

What are you doing here?

You come to sic your thugs on me again, huh?

I think I got a couple cracked ribs they can chew on.

You got to believe me when I say I did not tell them to do that.

Why did you even come over there, Tito?

It doesn't matter anyway.

Why did you come?

I wanted to see...

...if it was real...

...if you were gonna go through with it...

...after everything between us.

What was I supposed to do?

I can't let it end like this.

I went through your money. I got to make it right.

That -- I don't care about the money.

The money is gone, all right?

I...I just want to make sure you're gonna be okay.

You can't tell me that you love this old-ass clown...

...that you really want to be with him...

...and deep down inside that you still don't love me.

Why are you doing this to me?

Just say it and I'm gone.

-Say it. -I can't.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Look.

I'm leaving for Louisiana in the morning.

Why don't you just say fuck it and come with me?

Come on.

It'll be like old times.

Just don't do this.

What would we do for money?

We do what we do. We take it from him.

Come on.

We'll figure it out and make it work.

Money's never been a problem when it came to the two of us.

Plus I got an album that we can invest in.

We'll make all that money back.

I really wish it was that simple.

Carissa, come on.

I love you.

Come on! Carissa!

[ Foot thuds ]

[ Music continues ]

Do you know these men?

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

-Yes. -Yes.

Did you know he was cooperating?

What are you asking?

Cooperating with who? For what?

Do you know who did this?

No.

Do I need to call my lawyer?

He was a friend.

I am an upstanding member of this community, sir.

Where were you Monday night at 9:30 p.m.?

I was watching my reality TV show.

Home.

Did you want him dead?

I've known the guy for over 22 years.

He was at my grandson's high school graduation.

How...could you ask me that?

I am a Christian man, sir.

Who would have done this?

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

RAYMOND: Thank you.

When I was a little girl,

I used to walk along this beach every day.

And I'd look out... and I would wonder --

If I could reach the horizon, what would I find?

A pot of gold, like a leprechaun?

[ Laughs ]

Maybe the great kingdom of China.

It all just seemed so far away.

Maybe that's why it's all so magical.

You and that big imagination of yours.

Yeah, it's that big imagination of mine

that keeps me from seeing reality.

Is that really a bad thing?

I don't know.

My mom was the only one who tolerated my imagination.

I can tolerate it -- most of the time.

What are we doing here?

When I think about the future, I don't see you on that.

It's just all so murky.

I've been thinking.

I'm pushing you away.

Maybe I'm staying with her because she's weak.

She needs me.

The miscarriage broke her.

Broke me, too.

But you, you're strong.

You'll be okay.

Well...

Is that love or is it pity?

I don't know.

I can't do this.

Steph. St--

[ Ball bouncing ]

[ Laughs ] Hey, Carissa. Come on.

Come on.

[ Chuckles ] Looking pretty good out there.

I used to be out there hitting them

for hours and hours and hours.

Takes the edge off, you know?

But now? [ Laughs ]

I'll be lucky if I could last for one hour.

Hopefully, we'll all be that lucky --

to live that long to be able to say that.

If you want to call that luck,

I got a bridge I want to sell you in Brooklyn.

All right. Enough of the small talk.

That's not you, Benjamin, all right?

You don't have to feel me out. You can trust me.

We have reached a point where it's no longer fun and games.

Okay, miss lady.

I will see you at dinner.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

-What's up, Coach? -I knew I'd find you here.

-Who's this? -Mr. Sanders.

Jason Harrigan, NBA G League.

Oh, wow. Nice to meet you.

Well, your reputation precedes you.

The work that you have done this season in the paint --

phenomenal production, son.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I am well aware of the USC recruiters

practically camped out in your backyard.

No offense, but, uh, we all know where he's gonna end up.

My dad wants me to go to college, though.

There are a lot of top players that went to the pros

straight from high school -- LeBron, Kobe.

I mean, it's rare, but, son, you're rare.

Yeah. He's our pride and joy.

HARRIGAN: Listen, I got to get out of here,

head to LAX and catch a flight.

I'm gonna keep in touch with the coach

and whoever winds up representing you.

And remember that the G League, as an entryway into the pros,

should always remain an option on your list.

Cool?

Gentlemen.

Sir, I appreciate your time. Nice to meet you.

Take care.

Tough decision, son.

Let's talk it over with your dad.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Why'd you just leave?

I'm not gonna beg, plead

I just want to see the situation work out

'Cause I need just for me

I don't need, need, need anybody

Hey.

Hey, girl.

[ Sighs ]

Thanks so much for coming.

Like, I'm so glad you could take off, because I just...

I just really need somebody to talk to.

Lord knows I should not be drinking this beer.

Freakin' summertime is almost here,

and I just have not been sticking to my diet.

Why are you being so nonchalant about this?

Like, I told you everything that's going on,

and this is real.

These are real federal agents coming after me.

Girl, you work at a bank. That's what federal agents do.

They look into stuff like that all the time.

You got to calm down, chill,

just do whatever they tell you to do, I guess.

Okay. Are you sure everything's gonna be okay?

'Cause I cannot go to jail.

You know, if I could direct the fat in my body

to go wherever I wanted, like my ass,

I would drink a hundred beers a day.

[ Music continues ]

Relax. It's gonna be fine, okay?

And drink up.

TORRANCE: So, Pops, like I was saying,

it's all part of being in the NBA.

It's the new way.

It's all really actually really exciting.

Torrance, you're my youngest child.

You're not some broke little black boy

from Bloodtussle, Mississippi, trying to buy his mama a house.

Now, you need an education.

Honestly, Pops, I can go to school in the off-season.

-It's nothing. -CAM: That's right.

You need to go ahead and go to the league

so you can go to the after-parties.

Then we can go to the after-the-after-parties.

[ Utensil clanging ]

Party time for you is over, boy.

CAMERON: Discussion is ended, Torrance.

You're going to USC --

like your father, like my father, like his father.

And I want you to try baseball, too.

CARISSA: I'll talk to him.

CAMERON: Stephanie?

What's with you tonight? Are you going deaf and dumb?

Torrance, I commend you for being so focused

at such a young age.

You know what you want with your life,

and that's half the battle.

Mom would be proud.

TORRANCE: Thank you, sis.

-STEPHANIE: To Baby T. -To Mom.

STEPHANIE: I'll drink to that.

Aha. Champagne.

-What's the occasion? -CAM: Cham-pag-ne.

Well, I thought this would be a great opportunity

to make the announcement.

Carissa and I are getting married in June.

What?

Hey, look. I'm sorry, y'all.

Hey, yo, Pops, I need to be excused.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

That woman will never be a part of our family.

-Stephanie -- -No, Papa.

Do you know I caught her red-handed cheating on Dad?

She denied it, but I caught her,

and it's only a matter of time before she does it again.

Have you no conscience?!

No morals?!

You are taking advantage of a grieving man, my father!

CAMERON: Stephanie.

Stephanie.

Baby girl, you're my daughter, and I love you.

Now, you have to have an open mind.

I know you miss your mother. We all do.

This has nothing to do with Mom, Daddy.

This is about right and wrong.

BENJAMIN: Stephanie!

Stephanie!

No, no. No, no. No. No.

[ Music continues ]

Stay the fuck away from me, you psychotic thot.

Listen, I know it's not fun having me here

with everything going on with your mother,

but you need to put your feelings aside

and think about your father.

Why would you want him to be alone?

Your mother's memory will not fade.

She will always be in your heart, but life goes on.

Who are you?

I mean, really.

Who in the hell do you think I am

that you can just mind-fuck me?

I am not my daddy.

How long are you going to continue

to insinuate yourself into our family

before you leave and take my daddy for everything he's got?

How long?!

I am calling our family lawyer first thing tomorrow morning,

'cause I will be damned if I sit around

and watch this shit go on like this, bitch.

You got one more bitch to call me.

You need to realize your father is a grown man,

not a possession.

What, you want to marry him?

You disgust me.

You're a dead bitch.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

I need to tell you something, like, right now.

[ Music continues ]

[ Music continues ]

VELASQUEZ: Cam Sanders.

I really feel bad about what happened to the family,

but here's the police reports you asked for when you called.

It's just you and me, love.

You and me...against the world.

[ Music continues ]

ADEBAYO: Why did you help us commit those crimes?

If I can help in any way...

Thank you.

ADEBAYO: The government has traced the money

that we laundered from your bank.

BRITTANY: Cam?

Cameron, are you okay?

Cam?

No.

I'm not.

-Hey. -Hey.

What's up?

Happy birthday.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

-The big 1-8. -Yep.

You're a grown-up now.

I mean, I could die for this country,

but I can't buy alcohol yet.

-That's not exactly a grown-up. -[ Laughs ] Yeah.

Well, it's time to start making your own decisions now,

if you know what I mean.

[ Clears throat ]

Um, I mean, yeah, you know,

this whole USC thing is real big for my dad, you know?

I just want to make him proud.

Are you gonna live your life to make your dad happy

or live your life to make yourself happy?

Look, you're an amazing basketball player...

and an amazing man.

It's time to do what's best for you.

Damn.

Hey, hold up. Wait. Wait. Hold up.

I've -- I've never, ever, ever, like...

Shh.

You're a man now.

It's time.

Hey, watch your step, Pops. Whoop. There you go.

-[ Chuckles ] -Oh, man.

I can't walk as long as I used to.

Ah.

And sometimes it makes me angry.

I feel like nature can be a cruel bitch, I swear.

Well, she gives and she takes away.

-Yeah, that's true. -Yeah.

There's one thing I can say.

You finally made a good and right decision for once.

[ Chuckles ]

That means, uh, means a lot coming from you, Pops.

Yeah.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

You know...

...it might be soon that I won't be around

to give you a hard time.

Hey, Pops, you're gonna be around for a buck fifty,

just like those old Japanese dudes.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

Wishful thinking. Thank you very much.

You know, you -- you said you wanted to talk, so go ahead.

I'm gonna sell to the Germans.

Considering our situation, it's the best bet.

What?

Oh, no. You sorry-ass bastard!

How could you do that?!

How could you s-- Without consulting me!

Pops, you're still stuck back in the old days.

Companies merge, sell -- They do this all the time.

We still have the real estate. We still have the financing.

We're fine.

You -- No!

No! You -- That is --

That is our Birthright Bank!

Then you should have kept it clean.

I can't wash away 20 years of your sins.

I'm not Jesus.

You got to face it, Pops.

It's over. Done.

Over.

-Pops. -[ Grunts ]

Oh, God.

-Pops. -[ Groaning ]

Dad? Daddy!

[ Voice breaking ] Pops. Pops.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Help!

Jesus!

Next time on "A House Divided"...

My client is here. So what you got on my client?

This cannot be delayed.

Tell him I found you.

I can find you again very easily.

I'm here with you.

I hope you really mean that.

You're my blood. You face me.

You knew Daddy wouldn't let me have him,

but you also knew that I loved him.

Look, we had an arrangement.

That arrangement is over!

That money is the only reason you are still breathing, sir.

And we want it now.

I'll try.

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

I just want to live

Oh, I, I, I...

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

What makes the other people different than I?

If they can have it, well, so can I

It must be attainable if it exists

I'm not about to live paycheck to paycheck

Money isn't everything

Yes indeed

But if it didn't matter, everything would be free
