Previously on "Claws"...

My name is Benedict Liu.

The three of you are next.

What the hell?! Professor, please, let us explain.

The governor laundering money in my own casino.

-We didn't mean to -- -You didn't mean to scam me?

I'm killing the governor.

That's what The Professor's making you do?

Joe: He's got enough evidence to incriminate all of us.

Polly: You're never gonna get away with this.

I'm gonna make it look like a suicide.

-I love you. -I love you.

Uncle Daddy: They bought it was Clint.

Hook, line, and sinker. You're safe now.

I'm sorry I went rogue, Zaddy.

[ Screams ] Shit! He's not breathing!

I'm so sorry. There's nothing I can do.

-He's dead? -[ Crying ]

-[ Screams ] -No, no!

Grief makes people unpredictable. She dies.

When were you planning on doing it?

I'm not. That's on you.

And if you don't... this.

Tell me where the hell my wife is.

She's dead. Arlene is dead.

-No. -Mac did it.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I am sorry.

Poor thing. I can't imagine what she's going through.

I can. I thought I was gonna lose Bryce when Zlata shot him.

Also, one time -- Oh, my God. Desna, remember this?

I got a call from the police that Bryce had gotten

his noggin stuck in the elevator down at the old Belk Lindsey,

and I just knew for a fact that, when I showed up,

his body would be on the main floor

while his head was traveling to lingerie.

Girl, that is not the same thing.

Well, still, it gave me a fright.

Des, you okay?

No.

I mean, I-I feel so bad for what Ann is going through.

It's a nightmare.

And the nightmare got worse.

The Professor wants me to take Melba out.

Out where? To the club?

Virginia.

He wants me to kill her.

-Wha-- What?! -That doesn't make any sense.

We already paid him the money back.

Yeah, we -- we fought the Klan for that guy.

I know, but it's not enough, okay?

He's saying that -- that -- that -- that Melba's grief

makes her unpredictable or some shit like that.

-What? -Oh, h-hold up.

But, Des, you're really not gonna do this, right?

Hell no, she's not. Whatever we were gonna

get out of that casino, it's not worth it, okay?

You need to cut bait.

I wish I could, but I ain't got no choice.

If I don't do it, I die.

Oh, I mean, no offense, babe, but, like, you're --

you're less of a hit woman and more of a tit woman.

Shut up. I killed somebody before, Jenn.

Oh, my G-- Ruval? That's self-defense.

We're talkin' about some premeditated shit right now.

Yeah, maybe y'all could work something out.

Virginia, it's not a goddamn layaway plan, alright?

And who knows what's gonna happen to y'all

once he done with me.

Melba's gotta go.

Boo, shouldn't you be in bed?

I've slept enough. And after everything she's done,

Melba deserves to die, and I'm gonna do it for you, Desna.

-Let me. -Baby.

I appreciate that, Ann, but revenge is not

what you should be thinking about right now.

My wife is dead!

And now I got to raise a kid on my own, so...

Not on your own, Ann. W-We'll be there every step of the way.

You know what they say. It ta-- It takes a nail salon.

Virginia: That -- That's right, a-and your baby will have

so many aunties and a fly-ass manicure.

Desna: And all we need you to think about

is keeping this baby healthy.

You don't understand what losing her means to me.

-Ann, I'm sorry. -Everything.

I am so --

I'm so, so sorry. Okay?

Good morning, sunshine.

I wouldn't call it good.

What if we left something behind?

A fingernail, hair, fibers?

I can't go back to the slammer again, Joe.

I can't do that!

Easy, Red. Keep cool.

I know Benedict, okay? This was all his idea.

He's not gonna let any of this come back to him.

Just how far back do y'all go?

Leave it alone, Polygon.

I'm a mole for the Professor.

I'm the one who told him about Mac and Melba's

side hustle with the governor.

Why would you do that?!

You brought him here, and now Arlene is dead,

not to mention your Mac-daddy.

All this is your fault, Joe!

I did-- I didn't know he was gonna kill anyone.

Mac was like a father to me,

and when he adopted Dean, that destroyed me.

Oh, so they're both dead because you were jealous.

Well, if that just doesn't take the coffee cake!

I'm sorry, Polly.

But you can't tell a soul that I called Benedict.

Ah. Ah. He gave you syphilis again?

No, no, no! He's on his way to --

to confess a bunch of incriminating shit to a priest.

-Now? -Yeah, now. Rehab's closed!

Get outta here! Come on, now!

You just lost any chance you had of us going easy on you.

[ Bell jingles ] Damn straight.

You don't have the ovaries to kill me. Watch me.

Dessie, w-w-what are you doing to my mother?

-Well -- -What are you doing here?

I-I came to find you, but what's going on?

[Crying] Oh, Dean, baby, they're trying to kill me!

-Shut up! -D-D-Dessie, is that true?

-Is that true? -Baby, I don't have a choice.

N-- That's -- That's not true. You always have a choice.

And here you are again, making another bad one.

She doesn't care. She only thinks about herself.

-Really? -Dean, Dean, Benedict

is gonna kill us if Desna doesn't kill Melba first.

Dean, please, baby, you gotta try to understand.

No, I-I-I -- I'm -- I understand.

I'm not gonna let you do it. No, no, no.

Baby, baby, listen. Think, Dean!

Why would Mac and Melba adopt a grown-ass black man, huh?

'Cause they love me. Mac -- Mac loved me.

Mac loved me. That's why.

I'm sick of this shit. Tell him the truth now, bitch!

Oh, okay. Oh, shit.

Now. And I will think about letting your ass go.

Oh, Dean, your sister's right for once in her life.

My husband and I didn't give a shit about you.

Jennifer: You low-down, dirty skank.

Unh!

[ Tires screech, horn blares ]

Just curious. Uh, what are we worried about right now?

I ain't worried.

Move your ass! [ Chuckles ]

Ah, 'cause it -- it seems like something's on your mind,

and, uh, that's just my professional opinion.

-Toby did it. -Did what?

Toby's the one that took the s-shot at Desna.

We pinned it on Clint, and t-that's why Roller killed him.

Roller killed Clint? Yeah.

And now Toby's on his way to tell the priest everything.

Picked a fine time for his Catholicism to flare up.

You made Roller kill an innocent man?

You lied to him again?! Yeah.

And that's why we need to get to the church,

t-to stop Toby from blowing this whole thing open

and Roller's gonna end up in the hoosegow.

Get out the goddamn way!

W-W-Why would you do that to me? Why?

-Tell him! -For the money.

What money? He's broke!

The money he was supposed to win in the tournament.

We were gonna use it to go down to Kokomo.

-Bitch, I love that song. -I hate that song.

The fact is, we were way in over our heads with Macau,

and we needed real money to escape.

And Dean was our ticket out

if he hadn't been such a disappointment.

-[ Grunts ] -Get to the point.

If you think you're going to escape the Triads by killing me,

you are sorely mistaken. [ Chuckles ]

Mac thought you had potential, but he was so wrong.

-No. No. -I swear to God.

No, no, no. No. Mac love-- Mac loved me.

-No, no! He lo-- No. No. -Dean.

Pol. [ Gun cocks ]

-Dean, wait. -They deceived me.

It's -- It was -- It was all pretend.

It was -- It was -- It was all pretend.

Dean, and that is why

Melba is gonna pay for what they did to you.

Wait, wait, wait. You -- You still gonna kill her?

Yes, I am.

I am done, and this bitch deserves to die.

O-Okay, Dessie. Dessie, I agree with your -- your --

Generally, I agree with your assessment,

but you shouldn't kill.

Y-Y-Y-You don't know what it's like

to -- to lift a gun and shoot somebody dead.

It's -- It's awful.

[ Sighs ] Dean.

No, Virginia, it's ju-- It's just the truth.

When I shot Zlata... then everything changed.

You never told me that.

And -- And th-- But then I met Mac,

and -- and I -- and I found mahjong

and I was really good at it, and Mac believed in me,

and th-- and most people don't believe in me.

Baby, I have always believed in you.

Okay, then you have to believe me right now, Dessie. Right now.

You don't want to kill her.

You -- You have to find another way.

There has to be another way.

Don't ask me, right?

I'm in a relationship with a man I tried to kill.

Fair point. Uh, movin' on.

I overheard what Dean said to you about not taking Melba out.

Maybe he -- he's right.

So you don't think I should do it, either?

Maybe killing isn't always the right answer.

Okay, so, then, what is the right answer?

-I can't just let her ass go. -I know.

Unless Benedict doesn't know I let her go.

Ooh, I see those wheels turnin'. What you got cookin'?

We could fake her death.

-Yes! -Yes, yes!

But how will he believe she's dead if we don't got a body?

Okay, you right. Proof. He's gonna want proof.

Polly: Yeah.

Shh, shh, shh, shh. Think, think.

What's your friend's name, the one who works at the morgue?

-Diana! -Oh, her? She's such a stiff.

Well, I'm sorry, and you know I do that when I get nervous.

-Call her, Pol. I swear to God. -I got it.

I can't help it. It's stress!
