Previously on "Saints and Sinners":
What the hell are you doin'?
She's still awake!
Get off me!
[Grunting]
If you love me,
you gotta let me go.
We found this razor embedded in one of the tires.
I know what's going on.
Rex, there's something you should know.
Mm, Miles.
-I love you. -I love you, too.
[Dramatic Music]
Paige.
Wha, baby!
It's me!
How?!
Yeah, Ma, Malik. [She Chuckles]
-My, my brother? -Yeah.
He found me a treatment.
He kept me at his private hospital.
Didn't he tell you?
No, he...
he died a few weeks ago.
Wha, when was the last time you saw him?
The last time I saw him...
he was prepping me to go home.
And he said he was gonna talk to you and Jada.
[She Chuckles] Where is she?
She's sleeping.
Oh baby, I don't wanna scare her,
-but I gotta see my baby. -Of course,
-of course. -Come on, come on. [She Giggles]
Baby look, let me explain, okay?
Bari,
what the hell is she doing here?
-Let me explain, okay? -No.
No, no, no.
She's still your secretary, right?
Is it work stuff?
Paige.
Is Jada sick or something?
Is she here to clean the house?
What the hell is she doing here?!
Paige.
Get, out.
Listen, babe.
See what happens if you come near my husband again.
[Screaming] Get out!
-Paige- -Get off me!
[Theme Song Playing]
* Go on, lift your hands give God the praise
* I fell so hard lost my faith in God
* I couldn't even pray, so I say
* We're just sinners saved by Grace
I thought you said he was handled.
Why don't you let me pay for the damages?
This isn't about the money.
This man is your weakness.
If you plan on running my multi-million dollar empire,
you cannot let your weaknesses go unchecked, that will not do.
The two of you have history.
I know that you know him quite well.
Use that to your advantage.
Hit him where it hurts.
Just get it done.
How's Jada?
Look, say something baby.
Talk to me, just say something.
Do you still love me?
Are we still a family?
Yes, of course. I still love you.
You and Jada are my world.
My universe.
Then how could you?
With her?
After the blood transfusion was botched, I...
I couldn't accept it.
I couldn't even look at your body.
And then I found out Malik was my brother, and
I let him and Gloria handle the arrangements, and,
I didn't even think about it bein' a closed casket,
I just wanted to remember your face like this.
Beautiful, and alive.
Your mother...
Malik mentioned her.
Where is she?
She died.
She was killed.
And then Malik soon after.
I'm so sorry.
I know you're not gonna wanna hear this,
but Angela helped me through all that.
I need some air.
Babe, wait, wait, wait.
We have a second chance.
Look, and I don't want to waste another moment.
I love you, Paige.
Look, it's just me and you.
And, and I promise you, my feelings haven't changed, I promise you.
It's just gonna take a second
for us to readjust.
I know where to start.
You know, I never thought I'd see these on you again.
Right where they belong.
Bari.
I love you so much.
[Chuckles]
Oh my God.
Whoa.
Hey yo, y'all need some help?
Hey man, get back in the car, man!
Damn, okay.
That's the address for your next pickup.
Yo, what am I actually transporting?
Man, what business what you transportin'?
Just make sure it's there by 3 o'clock, you got it?
A'ight man.
And put your seat belt on.
Come on.
[He Sighs]
[Engine Turns Over]
[Nurse] Okay, I gotta go.
Did they shut us down?
Christie, I heard what happened with Dr. Ross, are you okay?
Yeah, thanks, I'm alright.
I, I just didn't think they would shut us down entirely.
-It doesn't even say here when we'll reopen. -Yeah.
What about our other patients?
What about my residency hours?
I really needed this.
Girl, if you're looking for another job,
I work at another clinic,
and we're so understaffed, we could really use you.
Really?
Yeah, it's not state of the art like this, but
girl, it pays double,
and I'm sure you can clock in your residency hours.
Oh my gosh, Karinne,
you are such a lifesaver. That would be amazing. Thank you.
You can probably start today. Come on, I'll give you a ride.
-Today? -Today.
-Uh... -Let's go, girl.
[Light Switch Clicks]
What do you think?
Karinne, what is this place?
I told you it wasn't fancy.
But it isn't even a real clinic.
What kind of services can we provide here?
We're only interested in one type of procedure.
What do you mean?
Wait, this isn't a sterile zone!
Hey, what is he doing? Karinne?
Calm down Christie.
Karinne,
What the hell is going on here?
You were working with Dr. Ross.
Until you took him out.
So now, you're gonna get us our kidneys.
What? No!
We only need one.
So if you do your job right, she won't have to die.
No.
This is insane, I won't!
We're getting a kidney today.
It's either gonna be hers, or yours.
[Dramatic Music]
Wow, this is incredible. I, I didn't think it would be
ready this fast.
All that's left to do is formally serve Miles the papers.
You'll have full custody of Austin within the month.
-My lawyers will see to it. -Thank you.
You and Austin will be the better for it.
It feels weird being in here.
His office.
I'm reminded of him every day.
And some days are harder than others.
I met him during a difficult time in my life.
He ended up being the light at the end of a...
very dark tunnel.
Now I have no one.
You and Austin are not alone.
Thank you.
Baby! God is good.
He brought you back to us,
just like Lazarus.
And you look good, too.
You sure do, girl.
Thank you, mother Baddle.
Jabari told me how you and the congregation really came through for him and Jada.
We all did our part.
But sister Angela over there,
she really rallied to get people to help.
Oh, yes.
I bet.
[Sighs]
Is that?
Yeah, I can't believe it myself.
It's nothing short of a miracle, Lady Ella.
Lord, Jesus.
What a miracle. [He Chuckles]
* This is my story
* Oh, this is my song
* My song
* Praising my Savior
* Oh sweet Lord
* Oh, this is my story, yeah
* This is my song
* Oh, whoa
* Praising my Savior
* All the day long
* Oh, whoa
* Praising my Savior
[Vocalizing]
[Applause] Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, New Hope!
-Hallelujah! -Amen.
Hallelujah, New Hope!
[All] Hallelujah!
Before we begin,
it is in God's grace
and God's mercy,
that I have the incredible pleasure of welcoming back
our sister Paige Morris.
Now I only say welcoming back,
because over a year ago,
we thought that our sister fell victim to the grave.
But that was not in God's plan!
Amen! [All] Amen.
So today New Hope, I want you to help me
in thanking the Lord,
by sayin' "thank you, Lord!"
[All] Thank you, Lord!
Thank you, Lord! [All] Thank you, Lord!
In gratitude,
her husband would like to address our congregation.
So help me in welcoming our brother,
Mr. Jabari Morris.
Amen!
[Applause]
[Jabari Sighs]
How's everybody doin' today?
First and foremost, I want to thank you all for the love, and
support that you're showing my family today.
I never really got a chance to thank you all for
all the support and love you showed when
Paige was in the hospital, and,
and I know I didn't get a chance to properly thank you when...
for when I thought that I lost her.
So, thank you. [Soft Uplifting Music]
You've always been a good friend to me.
And you helped me and Jada through the darkest days of our lives.
And I, I never been a really
religious man,
but when I thought I lost my wife,
I got down on my knees
and for the first time, I prayed.
I asked God to make my family whole again,
and God answered my prayer.
Come on, babe.
God answered my prayers!
God is real.
-Amen. -Amen. -Amen.
[Greene] Hallelujah!
[Hip Hop Playing On Radio]
I'll pull around.
[Karinne] Good work.
Cleaner than how Dr. Ross did it.
Can I go now?
[Gun Cocks]
Oh, but we're just getting started, Dr. Johnson.
[Dramatic Music]
Thank you for your prayers,
we really appreciate it.
-No problem. You guys have a good one. -Alright.
Have a great day.
-They so nice. -Yeah, sweet couple.
[Ella] Paige.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you.
I'm just so happy that you are alive and well.
The Lord is good and merciful, isn't he?
The Lord may be merciful,
but I'm not.
Have a blessed day.
[Hip Hop Playing on Radio]
[Police Siren Chirps]
What the hell?
[Siren Chirps Again] What now?
Get out of the vehicle!
-Hands in the air! -Come on, man.
[Officer] Get out of the vehicle, hands in the air!
What now, man?
[Officer] Driver, step out of the vehicle!
What the hell?
Hands in the air! Step back towards my voice!
-Okay. -Step back!
Step back!
Driver, place your hands against the van.
What?
Yo, I'm just the driver, man!
What are y'all arresting me for?
[Dramatic Music]
[Knocking]
Your message was loud and clear.
Wait, wait, wait!
One minute. Please?
Where you lying?
When you told me you loved me?
No.
I wasn't lying.
I meant it.
When I said it.
And I'll always have love for you.
Always.
For everything you did for me, for being there.
But Paige is my wife.
Mother of my daughter.
I love my family.
And I love her.
[Deep Breath]
Is that all?
Is that what you came here to tell me?
Look, I just wanted to look you in the eyes.
And tell you I'm sorry.
I'm sorry things turned out like they did.
Thanks.
That makes me feel so much better.
Look, Angela,
I know that you'll find somebody soon.
You-
[She Sobs]
[Rex] Why am I paying you so much damn money
if you keep letting stuff like
this get past you?
It was above my pay grade, Rex.
My hands were tied on this one.
-Oh they were? -Yeah, they were.
Yeah, well my son ins in jail.
Yeah, well you can save your anger for your mayor, this her call.
-You talkin' 'bout Ella? -Yeah, Ella.
She called the judge personally for the warrant, Rex.
Naw.
This ain't Ella.
This that damn Victor.
-Victor? -Yeah.
I slashed his tires, he done shut my whole damn fleet down.
Sorry son of a bitch.
Alright look, Kendrick gonna be fine, man.
And if the mayor ain't intervened already, I can make sure he get out quick.
A'ight, do that.
But your baby mamma,
got the judge personally lookin' into your company, Rex.
We might to lay low for a minute, man.
-A minute? -Yeah.
How long is a minute?
I don't know, but it's boss's orders.
Let me ask you a question, man.
What's up?
How long we been workin' together?
-A long time. -Yeah.
And you know what I do.
I see everything,
and I hear everything.
So don't play me.
So I'mma ask you again,
what are we movin'
that's got my son arrested?
Tell me!
Organs.
We're selling organs to the highest bidder, Rex.
[Cell Door Unlocking]
[Officer] Murphy!
You're free to go.
Look man, I need my phone so I can call my ride.
Your ride's already here.
[Victor] Kendrick Murphy?
Yeah, why?
Victor Thompson.
May I give you a lift?
Victor, as in my mom's Victor?
Which would make me your grandfather.
At least, uh, biologically.
So did you get all my charges dropped?
I did.
So, what do you want?
[Victor Chuckles] I would've thought you'd say thank you.
But you're smart to be suspicious,
nobody does anybody any favors for free.
Your mother's very special to me,
and you are very special to her.
I'm just trying to help.
I mean, well, thank you.
It wasn't like I was doing anything wrong.
I was just doin' my job.
Hmm.
Something to take up with your
father. It is his transportation company, isn't it?
You must have known what kind of business he was
conducting, and he willingly put you up to it.
He put you, an ex-convict
with limited employment skills and a baby on the way,
in dangerous paths-
Whoa, hold, hold on man.
You don't know me like that.
You don't know what I've been through.
But I do know you need a job, and I know I'm offering you one.
UpSurge has vehicles that
need driving.
You may not like my tone,
but tough love is exactly that. Tough.
If you choose to work for me, it'll be honest work at a fair wage,
without the threat of being thrown into jail.
Like a street rat.
[Victor] We're family, Kendrick.
I look out for family, and I deal with those who hurt them.
If you want the job, you start tomorrow, 7 am.
[Crickets Chirping]
[Knocking]
Jabari?
[Sighs]
Coming. [Sniffles]
Expecting someone else?
What do you want, Ella?
You've been ignoring my calls and texts all day.
One of the several perks of not working for you anymore.
Well I hope you're interested in a little freelance opportunity.
Your station has been badgering me.
Since when is Kendrick's arrest
in the public's interest?
Oh!
Are you really about to ask me
to jeopardize my journalistic integrity
to kill off a story about you?
Oh Miss Thing, please just stop it, I am not in the mood.
Now I know it's gonna cost me,
so just tell me how much.
You're right. It's gonna cost you.
But not in dollars. [Tense Music]
Sorry.
[Clearing Throat] It's all good.
[Angela Sighs]
-Okay, we need to talk. -Yeah, yeah. We really do.
-'Cause this is- -It's just like, getting kinda...
awkward. Yeah.
Yeah. [Both Chuckle]
We can at least agree on that.
Look,
we put in a lot of hard work to get this station, and
I don't want anything that's happening in our personal lives to
affect in here.
100 percent.
Keep it business, keep it professional.
I value you as a business partner, Jabari.
And as a friend.
The feeling is mutual.
It really is.
[Rex] My man, haven't seen you in a while, you good?
How you doin'?
I thought I smelled trash.
You know I'm having a, a déjà vu moment.
Thinkin' back to when your son first rolled into town,
tryin' to flex his power on me.
Didn't work out too well for him, did it?
Mm, careful there, that almost sounds like a confession.
[Rex Laughs]
What's your game, player?
'Cause I know you got one.
Game?
Yeah.
You come strollin' into Cyrpus,
back into Ella's life,
making her come at me like that,
now you cozy up to my son, tryin' to
tryin' to buy him with a job.
[Rex Chuckles]
You know what? I got it.
We both players, just a different hustle, am I right?
[Victor Chuckles] What's so funny?
Oh, the very idea that you and I have anything in common.
[Rex Laughs]
Look at the room you're in.
Now look at me.
I take pride in how I dress and how I present myself.
And where I go and how I'm received by others.
Now, look at you.
I think I look damn good.
Let me tell you something,
I can buy this restaurant and ten others just like it if I want to.
Money is easy, especially when it's dirty.
[Rex Scoffs]
You see, it's about enterprise. I own Fortune 500 companies.
I run charities, I
sit on boards.
You, meanwhile, seem perfectly complacent playing in
vans and barbershops.
Oh, and barging into restaurants
whose name you can't even pronounce to make silly little threats.
Perhaps that is why Ella and Kendrick have flocked to me.
Really?
[Man] Is there a problem, Mr. Thompson?
No, no, no, no, no, no, but please,
escort my guest t the exit.
He's finished.
Sir, this way.
This ain't over.
You understand?
Enjoy your lunch.
It's good to see you.
We good, we good.
[Exhales]
[Sirens in Distance]
Yeah, uh, good afternoon.
What are your visiting hours?
[Giggling]
Get up there, your fans are waiting.
Okay, okay.
Oh, no. You're gonna have to earn that.
-It's like that? -It's like that.
Okay, well, this song's for you, so you
think about that kiss for me, alright?
What's up fellas?
Thank you guys for coming out, uh, it really means...
uh, means a lot to me.
Not sure if you heard or not, but um,
I've been through some difficult times lately,
but the way that I get through my difficult times is through my music.
So, this is something I just wrote, and uh,
I hope you all dig it.
Y'all ready? Let's do it.
* Yeah, yeah
* Yeah
* I been caught off so many times
[Vocalizing]
* Hey
* I've been cut up so many times
* I took hearts and committed crimes,
* But you didn't judge me
* You just loved me
* All of those jokes when I wasn't right
* I pulled up in the middle night
* And you didn't shun me, no
* Like you was above me, no
* I was beginning to think I ran out of time
* And blew my chance I never would find
[Vocalizing]
* I'm glad to call you mine
* I was beginning to feel my indecision
* Would leave me lonely and alone
* Your love was right outside
* I'm glad you're in my life
* Like sun on a rainy day
Hey, girl.
I didn't expect to see you tonight.
Yeah, I heard Miles posted bail.
But actually, I'm here to see you.
Huh. What's up?
I need you to give this to Miles.
Sure, what is it?
Custody papers. I need you to serve them to him.
Tamara, no, you can't!
I sure can. And I did.
-But you know that Miles is innocent! -My priority is Austin.
Soon he's gonna be old enough to ask questions and put two and two together,
so I need to protect my son.
And the news would be better coming from you, I know you two have a
special friendship.
Tamara,
I just think that maybe it's better
if all of this waits until after the legal stuff.
Oh, well should I wait until after he's found guilty of murder, or
after hes sentenced to life in prison for murder?
-Tamara, you know what, just stop it, okay? -There's DNA evidence.
And he has no alibi.
What? Does he have an alibi, Josie?
-Well... -Is there something you want to tell me, Josie?
Miles...
Miles was with me that night.
Thank you.
-For what? -For finally telling me the truth.
After lying to my face.
Tamara, stop it!
No, don't! You know what? I just need to ask you,
how long have you been lying to me?
Exactly how long have you been sleeping with my husband?
Your husband? Please.
Tamara,
you know that it's not like that.
Yeah, it never is.
* I drove over quicksand
* You keep me from sinking in
* We got somethin', come on
* We got something, yeah
We don't usually do so many procedures at once,
we were behind schedule.
Your next shift should be shorter.
Before you get any ideas,
we have ears and eyes at the police station.
Don't think about runnin' off, either!
We'll find you.
Damn it! God!
Almost forgot.
There's much more where that came from.
I'll be in touch.
[Dramatic Music Building]
Richards.
Rex Fisher.
Look man, I don't like bein' ignored.
Give me a call.
Ma'am, let me say something,
I been waitin' down here for about a hour,
is she comin' down or what? 'Cause I got things to do.
Oh relax, I'm worth the wait.
[Chuckles Softly]
Felicia, I must say uh,
you lookin' like a brand new woman.
[Phone Vibrates]
Hello Mayor.
Did you get my payment?
Let me check.
Oh, look at you comin' through.
So I guess playtime with the little
boyfriend is officially over?
It's an insurance policy.
Whatever you're up to Angela, I couldn't care less.
I just want to make sure we have a deal.
No more stories about you.
That's my good girl.
I would be very careful with that evidence,
the hot-headed little wife is back in action, and
you might want to tread lightly with that one.
Don't worry,
I know how to handle her.
[Ominous Music]
[Dramatic Music]
[Miles] Tam!
Tam, just hear me out! Let me just, talk to me!
Just hear me out, okay?
-Can you just talk to me? -No, I am so
tired of talking!
Heads up, I'll have someone serve them to you properly in the morning.
You can't do this!
It's my kid, too.
You are awaiting trial for murder.
-You're not fit to be his father! -I didn't do it, Tamara!
I didn't do it, okay?
I'm telling you the truth now!
Tamara, Tamara, look at me.
Tamara, look at me. You know me better than that!
Like you told me the truth about Christie?
Or like you told me the truth about Josie?
The problem is, I do know you, Miles!
Okay, okay, yes, we should have told you about that.
We? So it's a "we" now?
That's not what I'm sayin', if you would just let me explain.
I don't want to hear it! I don't! Move.
Me and Josie...
It's not about you.
You know what?
You're finally right about something.
It's not about me.
It's about you.
It's always about you!
Your selfishness.
Your inability to let anyone be happy,
if you're not happy!
Your willingness to destroy me.
Tam, I'm not trying to destroy you, that's not-
My happiness,
our son's stability!
If it can make you feel better,
less lonely,
and less pathetic,
for 12 minutes, or however long it takes-
Okay listen, listen,
if we're not gonna be together, we can still raise our son-
Stay away from my son!
Do you hear me?
Stay away from my son.
And stay away from me.
You are gonna rot in prison for the rest of your life.
-Tam- -I hope...
I hope Jodie was worth it.
[Dramatic Chord]
[Miles Grunts]
Wait, hold oh, wait, wait.
Wait.
Not bad.
Better than I expected.
Such kind words.
Turns out, you're my first visitor.
Not even my dad has found the time.
Wow. Sorry to hear that.
No you're not.
What do you want, why are you here, Rex?
Who killed Malik?
According to the news report,
Miles Calloway.
His DNA was all over that place.
He killed Malik over Tamara.
You don't remember that night, do you?
Why do you think I'm here?
When I drink like that, I black out.
It ain't pretty.
What about that night?
I need your assistance.
Malik's will? What're you doing with this?
Just read it.
Call 9-1-1.
[Groaning]
Tamara?
You left your shares to Tamara?!
Do you remember how angry you got?
He left her everything.
His money,
his shares,
-his board seat. -Get out.
-You were pissed off. -Get out!
Why Malik? Why?!
[Malik Sighs Weakly]
I gave UpSurge ten years of my life.
Why?!
Why you come over here messing with my head?
[Felicia] Rex... help me, please, help me!
What is that? [Voicemail] Please!
The truth.
Malik, wake up, wake up, wake up. Wake up!
[Felicia Gasping in Voicemail] Oh, God.
You killed your brother, Felicia.
[Dramatic Chord]
