- [Announcer] Previously on "A House Divided."
- We kept our secret.
- That was a long time ago.
- Mr. Sanders, you're free to go.
- He will stop at nothing to get his grubby hands
back in control of our family's empire.
- My family must collect its share.
This was your word.
- I got to look over some documents,
'cause I'm suing your brother.
- We should at least be made whole.
- I may be able to help you.
- They've paid, but they still have so much more to pay.
- [Medical Examiner] So, Peter Trudeau, we found some blood
underneath his right index fingernail.
- What I want is for you to use your little banking connects
to help me clean up some of my unclean money.
- I'm gonna need a little bit more time gettin' that done.
- No, you ain't got no more fuckin' time.
I need this shit done now.
- I have a few loose ends I need to tie up.
- You cannot afford to make one more mess.
- I believe he may have gotten hired by your family
to protect you.
- I'll give you 200 large to watch my baby brother.
- You're gonna need our help.
We need your help too.
[car door squeaks] [ball taps]
- 30 minutes late!
I don't do late.
This bill better not show up on my time. Bloodsucker.
- Oh, my travel time is billable. It's in the contract.
And the 1-0-1 is atrocious. Mm.
- Your travel time shows up on my tab,
you're gonna be atrocious.
- Yes, sir. I'll take it off.
- Look, you're doing no shorts this year.
This is my world.
It's get down, or lay down.
- May I give you the update, sir?
[sighs] Your lawsuit, with your son,
the motion hearing is set for next week.
But, if I'm being honest, we're just wasting time.
We can't win.
- How much am I paying you bloodsucking bastards?
[briefcase thuds]
- Your Aunt Mae, Cameron Junior, and Stephanie
have built a wall around their holding company and the bank.
Rebirth will be allowed to conduct business
and you can't stop it.
- I had this lawyer, Jupiter,
she would've ate this case for lunch.
That's why my father loved her.
But you bloodsucking thieves,
you are not worth the air you breathe.
- Ah! [grunting]
Motherfucker.
[golf club clanks]
- Ugh.

- Angela always said you were one to solve things.
I am all ears.
- Nigel always told me that your continent was complicated.
And I always thought to myself, well, war is complicated.
But peace, that's simple.
But that was just my own take on off-the-cuff philosophy.
- Maybe stick to legal work. [laughs]
- Maybe you're right.
But you and I, we can bring the peace.
We can work together like the black queens that we are.
- I have heard a lot of promises.
- But not like this. I never break my word.
It's the only way that you can swim with these sharks.
You have to stay true to your principles, or you'll drown.
- I would call these vultures, more than sharks.
- I will make sure that we take care of your loss.
30 million. Carissa will make sure that you're paid in full.
- In exchange for?
- Mm. Yeah, well.
You will have to sue your contacts in Caracas or Havana,
and make sure that my girl is feeling cozy and secure,
away from the long arm of the US law,
so that she can grow old and die in her own warm, cozy bed,
and not in a prison cell.
- This is possible, hm.
But, 35.
35 million.
My family must be compensated for the death of Abeo,
and Adebayo, and Nigel.
- Well how long can it take you to get things arranged?
Because it will be very difficult
to get her outta the country discreetly,
and time is running out.
- One week. But, we must have the money by tomorrow.
- Done.
- Why do you help us so much?
This, Carissa. This seems beyond your job description.
- [chuckles] It's not about her.
I want Cameron Sanders to lose
and I want him to see her win.
He deserves to suffer for his disloyalty.
- Revenge is sweet.
- Yes it is.
[car horn honks]
- Uh, yes, hello.
Yeah. I'd like to give an anonymous tip.
It's, it's about a murder.
Well actually it's about those four people
that were killed in the crack house a few weeks ago.
I have some information on a potential suspect.
Well actually it's, it's a female, a very dangerous female.
- So, looks like we got all excited for nothing, huh?
- Yeah, I was really hoping we were gonna get Carissa's DNA
on Brianna's body.
All hope is loss.
- Yeah, Just Sammy's, huh?
Too bad we can't bring him to justice twice.
- Yeah, I'd love to bring him back to life,
so we can kill him again, in the gas chamber.
- Yeah. If only we could, I'd be down for it.
[plane roars]
[people chatter quietly]
- Ah [laughs], that shit'll put hair on a nigger's chest.
- Yeah, you about to choke, right? [laughs]
Well baby, you need to slow down.
That's like what, number 10?
- Yeah, don't act like you don't like what happens
when I get you home and get down on you.
- Ooh, ooh, okay. All right.
Well maybe a couple of more then. [laughs]
You know what? I like where this is going.
You know, it's scary.
But, sometime I'm just smiling and I don't even notice it.
It's like the light has come back on inside of me.
- I'm feeling the same way.
- Yeah?
- I'm feeling the same way, baby.
- Oh. Mm-mm. [chuckles]
Listen, I am down for you, you know that.
I am the type that I have your back no matter what.
- You ain't got to tell me that.
You already showed that to me.
All that shit you done did for me.
Come on, now.
And my baby, Summers. That's my baby.
You know I love it when she call me daddy.
- Well, you know I didn't tell her to do that.
- I know, I know, I know. It's cool.
That's my little demon child. [chuckles]
- [laughs] Oh, well, see. You know what? Mm.
I think, that if you down this right here,
then you can show me if number 12 is the magic number.
- I'm gonna put it down.
- Oh, you gonna put it down? - I'm gonna put down it.
- You put it down?
Mm-hmm, put it down. - I'm gonna put it down.
[Summer chuckles]
[plane roars]
[money thudding]
- Tell Jupiter that I still owe her lunch.
And uh, I'm sure I don't need to remind you
to leave my name outta this.
- Get the fuck outta here.
- I've had a busy day, Soya, so let's just get to it.
[chair creaks]
- It's been a minute.
- It has.
[Carissa chuckles]
- Look, I heard you say you've had a long day
and I don't wanna hold you for very long.
But uh, being that you tried to destroy my life
I feel a bit entitled to a few minutes of your time
to ask you some questions.
- I sent your money.
- You did.
You did. Thank you.
Actually, you know what, I don't.
I don't thank you, because see uh,
[zipper scratches]
I feel like you definitely owe me much more,
considering all the business I brought to your bank,
everything you put me through, there's just--
- What I put you through?
- Yes.
- You, my wife, had sex with another man in my bed.
- Fuck, I wish I could've done that right in front of you.
You sorry-ass pussy, that's my only regret.
Hm. I was your wife.
I followed your lead. What, what were you thinking, huh?
Hm? That was not the Playboy mansion, that was our home.
But you, ah no, you had to turn it into a cesspool.
- I, I had to.
It got rid of you, and your filth.
You call me pussy.
I did what had to be done.
I stand for disrespect no more.
- Sit. Now.
- Shoot. You already shot me so many times.
The real thing won't feel any different.
[cocks gun]
- Look what you created, Cameron.
[waves crashing]
- How did you find me?
- They told me that I could find you at the resort.
With a few dollars, it was an easy investigation.
- You are the last person I would ever expect to see here.
My mom? Did she send you to protect me?
- Not so much.
Relax. Relax.
You know that I would never hurt you.
Your mother, she was a rider,
and she did things for me no other woman would ever done.
- But?
- I have been providing some of my services
for some of the members of the Sanders family,
at your mother's request.
I have become increasingly disillusioned
at how immoral they are as a family.
- Yeah, I mean it's like you just never know
where the bullet's coming from.
I mean, at least on the shy we know who our ops are.
You feel me?
- I'm a bit too old to understand,
but I am struck down with awe
at how easy they shift alliances,
how easy they forsake who they are
for their own selfish gain.
This to me is carnal, it's not spiritually sound.
- Well, I'm a little too young to understand you completely,
but, right.
- Yeah. When you were a little girl, you were amazing.
It's wonderful to see how grown you've become.
- You know, when I was a little girl,
I thought you were my father.
Isn't that crazy?
Now, in some ways I kind of wish you were.
Maybe it's just that I wish my father wasn't who he is.
- Just like the sand on this island
wish that the imperial ships would've never landed.
The bloodshed on it by those who call this
their native land.
The bigger things we cannot change, no matter how we try.
Even if we lament the events of it, it's the past.
Put no effort in trying to change the past.
- So, why did you come here?
My mother is gone.
- Your mother is never gone.
As long as you speak her name, she lives on.
- So, that's why you came.
Just give me some freaking funeral speech.
- You are definitely your mother's child.
I was sent here by Stephanie, to kill you.
- Oh my god.
This woman is dead set on making her child
the only heir to this family fortune.
[sighs]
And all she did was just wait until the casino deal closed.
Smart move.
- You have your mother's wish, as well.
- She doesn't know you, or what you stand for.
- They will soon find out, all of them,
especially your so-called father.
He took something away from you.
Something I cared about.
- Me too.
Was it you?
Did you kill Raymond?
- I do not discuss my client's business.
- He was going to meet Eileen.
I mean, she must have been there.
She had to have known.
Wait, speaking of Eileen,
if she saw your face, I wouldn't trust that.
How would you trust that?
- If I were you, I wouldn't leave this island.
Never return back to Los Angeles.
Because of the love I have for your mother,
you've been warned.
You've been warned.
- Hey! Raymond was a good man.
I was the one who set him up to do the lawsuit.
He wasn't the fucking monster they painted him out to be.
They were the monsters.
They are. I'm-a clean up shop.
Clean up shop!
[sighs]
[floorboards creak]
- You're crazy.
Why do you want me dead?
I gave you your goddamn money.
- [laughs] Wow.
Within seconds of death, still,
you have no respect for women.
We are just objects of gratification, huh?
A means to an end.
A way to satisfy your own indulgences, huh?
Just, just a little toy, a play thing.
- What do you want, Carissa?
- I think you know.
- I won't beg for my life.
Do it.
- You don't mean that.
- I'd rather it be you than anybody.
It'd be like a Greek tragedy.
Poetic.
Romantic.
- Yes, I admit, there is a bit of romance to it,
but, no, no.
I'm going to give you a chance.
- A chance? - Yeah.
Where is he?
Better yet, what happened to him?
- Who?
- Is this really how you want to waste your chance?
Feigning ignorance, you just [stammers],
where is Dante?
What happened to him?
- I am the man who gave you $150 million,
and you wave a gun at me and you think about him.
All he had was a, a dick,
and sold you some bubblegum bullshit.
Guess what?
I'm fresh outta bubblegum.
- What happened to him?
- He set you up, asshole.
You think about him, not me, but he sent you to jail.
Who's the stupid one?
- What?
What happened to him?
- I killed
him.
- No.
You're not gonna get off that easy.
No, you're gonna live.
You're already a destroyed man.
I'd rather let you live in your loss, in your regret.
You have and you are nothing.
Go.
[floorboards creak]
[telephone rings]
- Detective Martin.
- Did you hear the news yet?
You're drowning victim, Peter Trudeau,
the blood under his fingernails are the perfect match
for Cameron Sanders, Sr.
- Let's get the son of bitch off the street now.
- I am so sorry, detective, I really wasn't expecting you.
Well, I'm apologizing in advance
because for some reason the tap water
in this gorgeous bungalow smells just like pig slop,
which I'm sure you're used to.
So, just for you, I put it on ice.
- Thank you, Ms. Sanders.
- Mrs. Gauthier.
- Yes, I'm about to get married.
I might as well get used to the name.
- Ah.
- Well, detective, as you know, I am quite busy.
- Uh-huh.
- I'm with child
and I'm planning the marriage of the season,
which of course you won't be invited to.
- And that's fine. I don't need to be invited.
What I really want to know is,
why two convicted felon organized crime connections
and paramilitary backgrounds
would be trailing your brother, Torrance.
It's so odd.
And, and they both were armed and ready
when someone made an attempt on Torrance's life.
Why? How?
- Well, a family as rich and powerful as mine
is sure to collect a few enemies in that spot, detective.
- Oh well, we both know about all the beef
with the folks in Nigeria.
We know about the assault on you,
which resulted in the loss of your pregnancy.
- Loss of pregnancy? Oh, is that what you're calling it?
You make it sound so poetic.
When we both know, my baby boy was murdered.
He was beaten to death, right inside my womb.
You're a woman.
Can't you have just a little compassion
for the babies that die before they're born,
and those of us left behind to mourn them.
- Okay.
Not an attempt to minimize your pain.
I'm just trying to get on with the facts.
A young man, 24 years old,
he was killed that day, in self-defense,
sort of by Torrance.
- You leave Torrance's name outta your mouth.
My sheltered baby brother,
who I practically raised all by myself,
has never had anything to do with this family's mess.
Not if I can help it.
- Well, your sheltered baby brother admitted to it.
We know everything.
- You're lying.
- No, I'm not.
- What kind of game are you playing at?
- He told us everything.
Relax. Relax.
He hasn't been charged.
Not yet.
Now, Carlyle Winters,
he is an operative of an organized crime syndicate in Reno.
According to the FBI, he is extremely dangerous.
And, he was trained by the US Army Green Berets.
He has provided security for a number of really scary
underground gambling outfits in Reno.
We're afraid that he might be responsible
for the killing of an SEC enforcement agent.
This is really serious.
- I'm sure it is.
But detective, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go find Torrance.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, Torrance is safe.
Torrance did what he was supposed to do.
But what are you gonna do?
- [sighs] What exactly do you want me to do,
Detective Dolan?
- Well, we all know about the power struggles
within your family.
We know that you and your aunt and your brother,
Cameron Junior, have consolidated your power
and have taken control over a new bank, The Rebirth.
What we need to know is why Carlyle is following Torrance.
Who hired him, and where can we find him?
- I'm about to get married.
I am pregnant, again, after a long time of trying.
Why in the fuck do you think I'd help you with any of this?
- I have made a fortune in overtime
tracking the endless trails of bodies
that have been left behind.
But when is it gonna end?
You guys can beat us 20 times.
You can get away 20 times,
but we only have to catch you one time.
We only have to get it right one time,
and your life is over.
How long do you think you have?
Think about that baby.
I mean, we already have the DNA on Brianna Mayfield,
another one of Carissa's victims.
Oh, Carissa might talk first.
And then there's him.
Remember, he was suing you and your family?
Now his mama can't even find him.
- Well, maybe you should tell her
to download a family tracking app.
I'm sorry detective, but I have to find Torrance.
So unless there's anything else?
- Yes, that water is not right.
Too much pollution these days.
Can't even trust the lakes and the streams.
Hm.
- And, why do you think I need that?
Unless you're also a midwife?
- [chuckles] Well, I am some sort of a midwife,
because once those mama genes kick in, you gonna call me.
You're gonna want me to protect you and that baby.
We are so close.
It's not worth the risk.
Just come clean.
Let us bring this whole organization down.
Not only will you stay free,
you might just get to stay rich.
Kisses.

- Things around here are far deeper than what I thought.
- [Torrance] I need to move on from this game.
- I underestimated the level of internal conflict
within this family.
- I need to move on from my family.
- I'm so happy that you reached out.
- I have a lot I have to do.
So I just came here to say goodbye.
- Goodbye?
- And I'm gonna carve out a piece of life for myself.
- I'm gonna be the savior of this family
my mama always said I could be.
