You bought a piece of land here
about a few days after

Darius and I had our
falling-out.

[ Laughs ] You mean
after you killed him.

I received a letter
from a Nate Robinson.

He asked you for help?
I'm sure I can do something.

Angela: Your father was
a security guard.

Do you remember anything
about him knowing drug dealers?

I used to hear stories about
how Teddy's brother Louis

was supposedly
murdered by one.

Teddy keeps his big brother's
journals in his home office.

Well, I skimmed them
and did see something

in this one about a Calvin.
That's your dad, right?

How did my father die?

He shot himself
in the head.

Teddy.
Nikki: Mom, who's that man?

Angela: That man is
Nate Robinson, your father.

walking out on you?

I don't know, baby.

I mean, if life was that simple,
we'd all have it figured out.

All I know is what's
in my heart.

What's in yours?

I want
to get to know Nate.

I want to get to
know my dad.

Okay.

Everything I've ever done
has been for you

and the kids
and this family.

And, yes, I asked Alex
to help me get Darmon back.

That's it.

Whatever Angela saw or she
thought she saw is not accurate.

So you never kissed her?
I can't believe you.

Man: Here with breaking news
is ACN's Alex Rivera.

Today, we're bringing you
important information

on the health of billionaire
Teddy Franklin, chairman

and owner of one of the largest
holding companies in the world.

Full disclosure --

I was once married
to Raymond Dupont,

the son-in-law
of Teddy Franklin,

who is now married
to Teddy Franklin's daughter

and second-in-command
at Franklin Holdings,

Leah Franklin-Dupont.

Despite my connection,

when something like this
affects the public

and the financial community,
it is my duty to report it.

It has been confirmed
that Teddy Franklin

of Franklin Holdings

is suffering from
Parkinson's disease.

Wow.

You son of a bitch!

You know what?

You can go ahead and pack a bag,

because I want you out
of this house tonight.

very closely
in the coming days.

Louis: I guess
this is what happens

when you don't deal
with your demons.

Everyone comes gunning for you.

Can't hide the truth
forever, Brother.
