Previously on "Greenleaf"...

Pastor Greenleaf,

Winston price.
What brings you down here?

Coralie hunter.

That pond you're
about to step into,

it might be a lot
deeper than you think.

- Tickets to see Hamilton?
- Yes.

Zora's on punishment.

It's her 18th birthday.

Actions have consequences.

Your mother is being too strict.

You found more cash.

I trust you and your expertise.

You emptied our shared account.

I want you out of
this house tonight.

I've already made
arrangements with Percy.

I got this memorial
service here tonight

and the singer just called
and said she has the flu.

I'm not sure I can be
of comfort right now.

Just one or two songs?

I'm here to bail you out.

We should both go
over there tomorrow

and bring zora home.

Thank you.

I'm 18 now, I'm leaving.

And when pray tell
is this grand escape

of yours taking place?

In about 10 minutes.

Zora?

Zora?

Zora...

You get your tail right back
to that house this instant.

Muillard. Muillard,
open the gate, please?

Don't you open
that gate, muillard.

I am 18, I'm free.

Open the gate,
please, thank you.

Don't you dare talk
to me about freedom.

You're just a prisoner of
your own pride and confusion.

Okay, so I'm gonna
climb over the gate

and escape like the
prisoner that I am.

Listen to me.

Your cousin needs you right now.

Does that matter to you at all?

Needs me?

I tried to tell her goodbye
and she didn't even care.

Can you please open the gate?

Do not open that gate.

Open the gate, muillard.

Don't you dare, no, no.

Listen, if you want
to be miss big stuff,

then why don't
you just stay here

and do it out fair and square?

What's going on?

Well, your daughter has
gotten it in her head

that she wants to leave.

So what are the two
of you doing here?

Well, we're here
to take her home.

Oh, well, thank you so much

for including me in the process.

Ma, we just decided
this last night.

Mae, we have a right

to retrieve our
daughter if we want to.

Z, hey, hold on, you two.

Z, get back here.

Leave me alone, get away!

Honey, we're here
to take you home.

- I'm not going home with you.
- Just get in the car.

We'll talk about it
when we get to the house.

Get in the car.

Zora, get in the car now!

Jacob, she needs to
stay here with me.

I need to be on my own.

Do you have a plan?

I mean, where are
you going, really?

Isaiah: Zora, hurry up,
get in the car!

Oh, this joker, here we go.

Pop the trunk.

What are all these
people doing here?

- Just pop the trunk.
- Zora!

Jacob: That's what
we gonna do now?

Get off of my property.

Did you hear me? Get off
of my property right now.

Yo, yo, we live,
we live right now.

You know what, little boy?

You need to get in
this car right now

and you need to
drive far, far away.

Oh, yeah, what you gonna
do if I don't, fat ass,

hit me, huh?

Come on, you bad,
hit me, come on!

No, no, no, no, move, come on,

bring the camera closer.

All right, everybody,
all you fans

of this little punk right
here, Isaiah hits girls.

That's right, he hits girls,

and now I'm about to
hit him real hard.

Okay, hit me then,
hit me, do it!

I did it once, I'll do it again.

Listen, listen, listen.

You're gonna let
her go with him?

No, no, but his parents
might press charges this time

or he might.

Let him, I could give a damn.

Please, please just
let me do this.

'Cause whatever
we did last time,

obviously didn't
work, just let me.

Fine, baby, fine.
Fine.

What's going on?

Come on, let's go, baby.

Is that that Isaiah boy?

Lord, help me, oh, I'm gonna
whip your little weasel butt.

No, just give us a second

to get this all
cleared up, please.

No.

Hey, watch how you
slamming my door, old lady.

This boy beat you,

treats you like nothing.

Why do you want to be with him?

You don't understand.

Can I talk to my
daughter for a second?

Oh, please, yes, by all means.

You have all the
answers, solve it.

Mae, please just shut your
mouth for one blessed second.

My daughter's about to
throw her whole life away.

It's not about you for once.

No, it's about you.

You are not going
to take everything

that I've worked
so hard for you for

and destroy it like this, zora.

You don't even want me around.

Z, baby.

Hey, little boy,

you put one hand on my daughter,

one hand, you hear me?

- Here take my phone.
- What, so you can bug me?

- Later.
- No, at least, please.

Just in case you want
to reach out, okay.

I won't call you.

What, you just want
to bug me out, though.

Please just take it.

Here, please.

Be careful.

Please be careful.

Good morning.

Well, good news.

What's that, Percy?

When I didn't hear you stirring
in your room this morning,

I ran down to the office,
checked the obituaries

to see if you weren't in it.

Well, I'm sorry
if I worried you.

Didn't get to sleep

till well after 3:00
in the morning.

You having second thoughts?

About what?

Finally moving out of
that harridan's lair?

Not at all.

Well, if you are, it's okay.

You know, when I left joanne,

I cried like a baby.

When I left Lou Ellen,
it wasn't nothing.

But then I left Rhonda and
it was worse than joanne.

Couldn't get out of bed.

Thought I was having
a heart attack.

Doctor told me it was panic
attacks, but I felt it,

I felt it in my heart.

Well, my heart's ticking
just fine, thank you.

Well, you a better man than me.

The comparisons are odious,

but I won't disagree.

Miss hunter, can you
tell us what happened

the night of the murder?

- Stay close to me.
- My client has no comment.

Thank you, everybody.

You are accused of killing
your husband in his sleep.

- Make some room.
- How is that self-defense?

Don't answer that,
come on, come on.

How are your
children responding?

You know they haven't
let me talk to them

since I was arrested.

Just keep moving
and be quiet, okay?

Yeah, okay, I'll take a few
questions everybody, all right.

- Who's this?
- Rochelle cross.

She's with the legal
defense fund.

She raised the money
to bail you out.

Thank you.

They don't understand.

No, they don't.

We're gonna fix that.

All right, thank you.

Call if you hear, though.

Hey, and thank you for
taking my call.

Goodbye.

His parents don't
know where they are.

His things are gone,
but he's been there

for the last three weeks,
so who knows.

Can I keep this?

Hey, why don't we just
get you a new one?

Jacob, my daughter is gone.

I'm not going phone shopping.

Where are you going anyway?

To his parents' house.

Didn't they just
say he wasn't there?

Well, they might come back.

What do you want me
to do, Jacob, nothing?

That boy could kill her.

I tried to stop him
and you wouldn't let me.

Because you'd just
make things worse

with all of your violence.

We don't need anymore fighting.

Well, whatever your
plan is, I'm her father,

you need to include me.
You can't just ice me out.

Now, my son has a point.

Now, Mae, now, you just
stay out of this

'cause I told you you were
being too hard on her.

Now look what's happened.

Just back off!

I'm not gonna let
zora turn into faith.

I won't do that.

Why would you say
something like that?

You know what? I'm sorry.

Mom, just, just,
she didn't mean it.

I'll call if I see her.

I'm coming with you.

Do you remember how hard it was

for us to keep them from
calling the cops on you before?

Just stay out of it,
please, Jacob.

Give me my phone.

Take your phone!

I will take you over there.

Thank you.

Well, it's a big
day for you, huh?

Yeah, I got services
at 10:00, 2:00, 4:00.

Hey, come here, come
here, come here.

Uh, that's good news, I guess.

Yeah, I do have bills to pay.

Hey, daddy,
sorry I'm late, Percy.

It was big drama at
the house this morning.

Hey, w-what kind of drama?

Don't worry about it, daddy.

Hey!

I'm still your father.

What kind of drama?

James, we have everything
under control.

Yes, charity told me
what happened.

I figured out that part,

but kerissa and I are
really handling everything.

There's nothing for you to do.

Did we call the police?

She's an adult now,
they're both adults.

It's not a crime.

Even so, Jacob should
call that friend of his,

the deputy mayor.

Kerissa and I are headed to
the parents' house right now

to see if we can catch him.

This is not going
to be a quick fix.

And resist the urge to
make meaningless activity.

Oh, lord.

What'd she say?

The mothers are handling it.

Do you want us to stay with
you for a little while?

No, it's okay.

Thank you, though.

It's gonna be
all right, darling.

We're gonna replace
that scrawny boy you had

with a beast of an attorney.

You just watch,
everything's gonna be okay.

I know, I just need to
see my kids, you know.

I asked that lawyer if
he could get the judge

to at least let me call
them, he wouldn't even ask.

I'm not sure there's
much anyone can do

with them in foster care.

I know somebody over at cps

may be able to help
you find them anyhow.

Would you do that, please?

I'll call them right now.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Get some rest, coralie.

I'll call you if I hear
anything back, all right?

Promise.

Who do you know at cps?

I've got a friend.

♪♪

Kerissa: That's their house
right there.

I would like to give
those parents of his

a piece of my mind.

Talking smack against my son

when their boy's such a menace.

Please don't.

Listen, any father would have
whacked that boy, kerissa,

especially given what he did.

I know, but can we
just, please just...

All right, fine, I will
just leave them to Jesus.

They will be dealt with.

I don't see their car.

Well, we can just stay here
for a little while, right?

As long as you like.

If you think I didn't
do everything I could

to get my daughter back home...

I'm sorry I said that, Mae.
I was upset.

I still am, but...

I'm sorry.

We all have this thing inside us

that wants to believe that
we can fix it, you know.

Whatever our children
are going through,

their suffering,
we think we can fix it.

But some get away.

I won't let that happen to zora.

You might not have a choice.

Come on in.

Hey.

Oh, that was just me.

I was wondering
where you've been.

I was beginning to think
you were mad about something

or something crazy.

No, it wasn't that.
Zora left.

Left where?

My mother's with Isaiah.

She turned 18, and she took off.

Jacob, I'm so sorry.

Hey, look, um...

Would you close that
door right there by...

Yeah, no, that's
the point actually.

Tasha, you can't... we can't.

What happened between us
the other day, that kiss,

that was a mistake.

- It was?
- Yeah.

Okay, look, it wasn't untrue.

You're great, you're
smart, you're sexy,

but it's just,

it's not something I
can choose in my life

at this point in time.

Me?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Okay.

Okay, look, please.

No, I'm sorry.
I just, um...

You're gonna have to
stop texting me, too.

Yeah, I know, that was
bad of me to do that.

I just, um...

I missed you and I...

Tasha, you gotta stop.

People are gonna think
something's going on.

Nothing... nothing ever
seems to work out

for me, Jacob.

Like, I know that
I'm being selfish,

but... i just,
I like you so much.

Every time.

Tasha, look.

Come on now, you have
got to pull it together.

- I can't.
- You have to!

I'm your boss.
- Seriously?

Pastor Greenleaf,

oh the secretary told me that
I could find you in here.

If I'm interrupting...

No, pop, we're, um...
Tasha just lost a friend

and I was...
We were just talking.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

What brings you by, pop?

Getting my granddaughter home.

Right, hey, I need
to handle this.

Yeah.

All right, promise you're
gonna be okay, positive?

Positive, you can go.

Are you two sure I'm not
interrupting anything?

No, pop, it's fine.

How about we go in
my office and talk

and give her some space?

Absolutely, um,

again I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, bishop.

Open or closed?

Closed.

♪♪

Hey, Darlene, how's it going?

Darlene: Someone's
been waiting a while.

Is that the district attorney?

Can you just give me a second?

Yeah, whatever you need.

Pastor Greenleaf.

District attorney price,

to what do I owe this pleasure?

So you decided to
support miss hunter?

I did, yes.

Against my strongly
worded advice.

I wouldn't take that
too personally.

This church is full of
people who would tell you

that's just how I am.

Oh, I met with her
attorney, a Mr. Teleska.

We're getting her a better one.

He seemed pretty sharp to me.

I offered his client
a great deal.

She pleads guilty to
second-degree murder,

she gets 20 years.

Great deal.

This case goes to trial, grace,

she'll get life without parole.

And you may find
yourself on trial, too,

and not just in the court
of public opinion.

You threatening me?

I could have charged
you with murder

when you killed your uncle.

The only reason I
didn't do that was...

Because it was self-defense.

So you've said, but I
got this funny feeling

that if all the facts came out

about the long-standing fight
between you and your uncle,

the details of how
you forced your way

into his home that night,

your concerns
about your daughter

could look a lot like
premeditated murder,

especially to a jury
who knew you had gone

out of your way to get yet
another murder acquitted.

I mean...
Pardon me for saying this.

I know this is
a righteous time for ladies,

but, grace, I swear,
it's starting to look

like you think women should just

be able to take the law
into their own hands

and kill men.

It just doesn't seem right,

legal, or very Christian.

Have miss hunter take the deal.

♪♪

♪♪

What did he want?

Nothing important.

I really don't know

how I'm gonna make it
without him.

I don't.

That's how it feels...

But you will.

You're gonna go on.

We all do.

What he's offering
is an option, coralie,

you don't have to take it

and you certainly don't
have to decide right now.

We can talk about it later.

Are you gonna let me tell her
or not?

'Cause I don't have all day.

I got, like, 12 other cases
I got to get to.

Uh-huh.
Go ahead.

Look, the d.A.'S
offering you a deal.

You plead guilty
to second-degree murder,

you get 20 years.

When would I get paroled?

15.

The kids would be grown up.

Look, it's either this or life.

You gonna take it or not?

If you don't have time
to let her think

for one minute about the
biggest decision in her life,

you should surely let
someone else represent her.

She's a victim of abuse.

She doesn't even
remember doing it.

There are precedents for that.

Yeah, well, not in Memphis,
and I know this judge,

and he's not exactly a fan
of this whole me too movement.

Look, just take the deal,
and your kids will visit.

I gotta think about it.

All right, well, you've got
till tomorrow to decide,

so if you folks will excuse me,

I've got to get to places

where my work's
a little more appreciated.

You can do better.

You sure about that?

You can certainly
do better than him.

- Good news.
- Tell me.

I got you a visit
with your kids.

When?

They're on their way now.

Oh, my god, thank you,
thank you.

You're an angel.
Thank you so much.

Pick up the phone and call him!

Pop, what do you think
skip's gonna do?

He'll have the police
pick the boy up.

She's an adult.

She left of her own free will.

All right, I mean, it's...

This isn't something you can fix

with a phone call to
some friend in an office.

We have to do something!

There's nothing to do.

And even if there was, nobody
wants us to do it, pop.

I know you're upset that
mama didn't call you,

but this isn't your problem

and according to my wife,
it's not even mine.

So just do us both a favor
and go back to Percy's

or church or wherever,
but stay out of it.

I've got enough on my plate
without trying to make

you feel like you're
some big help, too.

You know,

kerissa wasn't wrong
to send you away.

That temper of yours
is no help to anyone,

especially you.

Whatever happened
between me and your mama,

I'm still your father and
that girl's grandfather.

When you remember that, call me.

So who is your friend at cps?

You haven't let that
go yet, have you?

It's a natural question.

I'm just waiting
for a natural answer.

After all I've done.

Gave you this money,
made the phone calls,

you still don't trust me.

Who is she?

I met her through big sisters.

You work with them, too?

I was one.

You were a big sister?

Yes.

I've got four girls out
there running the world.

I hit 'em up for
favors sometimes.

I'm not what you think.

Then what are you?

I'm just like you, grace,

someone who no matter
how high I rise,

no matter how well I do,

I can't help but to see
myself in low, lost souls.

And just like you,
I won't stop fighting

till all the folks
who keep them down

are brought low, too.

That sounds a lot like revenge.

Well, maybe the d.A.

Oh, James, they know you exist,

but having failed
them as we have,

and, yes, I share the blame,

we both exist
like, I don't know,

two faded stars that
went out long ago

and only glow like ghosts.

You can soothe yourself
with that poetry.

You're in this house.

Yes, I am, and you're not,

and you can't and believe it
or not,

for that, James,
you have my sympathy.

A lot of good that does me.

Sympathy is not
a currency, James.

It is not to be traded,
it is a feeling.

If you want a friend,

you just...

Talk to Jesus.

K?

Baby?

Hey.

Oh, I didn't make dinner.

I don't care about that.

Is winkie down?

Yeah, I just tucked him in.

So what happened,
did you go over there?

Yeah.

And?

Our little girl is gone.

Chilling in the dark?

Yeah.

Mom?

Mm.

I don't want to go to rhodes.

Okay, but you're
going to college.

Zora's not going to college.

You're not zora.

So zora gets to do
whatever she wants,

move out, quit school.

Baby, she's 18.

Yeah, and I'll be 18 soon, too.

You can't force me to go there.

I wasn't gonna force
you to do anything.

Good.

I don't want to go
to a Christian school.

It's just not
where I'm at right now.

Understood.

What are you doing up so early?

I haven't been to sleep yet.

Well, that's a lot
of no sleeping

for a man with no
second thoughts.

I know.

Maybe a record.

You know, some people
got forethought.

They got enough sense
to move out of the way

when a truck is coming.

Other people got hindsight.

Best thing they can do
is get the license number

after they get run over.

Some people got neither.

Jimmy, at least you got one.
