- [Woman] Now you do realize,
she stands to gain at least $150,000,000?
- Why?
- Kill her husband.
- I understand.
- So basically, when Stephanie and Torrance are back--
- Torrance! [people yelling]
- We are gonna be back in action.
- I'm just here to get clean.
- I'm gonna be here for you.
No more chaos.
[woman screaming]
We're gonna be running the business the way my mom intended.
- He just doesn't love you.
[body Clatters] [woman gasps]
- And guess who's gonna be calling the shots?
- Mama's gonna take over this castle, don't you worry.
- [Jupiter] You can save this family.
- You are fired.
- I see someone looking for redemption.
- You should reach out when you get stateside.
- This ain't personal.
[gun Blasts] [man grunts]
- How would you feel
if I went back to New Orleans for a little while?
- [Woman] It's my family.
- [Man] You wanted to see me, sir?
[taser zapping] [man Screaming]
- Dude, you was fricking thinking fast this whole time?
- [Officer] Carissa Sanders, you're under arrest.
- [Woman] You fuck everybody that's a target.
- They've tracked this phone.
They're coming for you.
Good luck, Mr. Sanders.

Come on man, hurry up.

[sighs] Come on.

[rhythmic, dramatic Music]
[gentle, quiet music]
- Took care of them?
Here's the chicken I promised.
My people will be in touch with your sister on the outs,
pay the rest of my bill, okay?
That's my word.
- Let me know if you need anything else.
- I will.
[gentle, quiet Music]
[wind hissing] [gentle, quiet Music]
- Thank you so much for seeing us in here, Minister Ponce.
- No worries, Mr. Sanders.
Your father,
he helped to develop this island in the early days.
He backed my family when we needed him the most.
My pleasure to help his son.
- It's amazing.
- Fit for a king.
- It is opulent, but at the same time,
[sighs] very remote and discrete.
It was built in the '80's by of Escobar's top lieutenants,
his banker. [woman Laughs]
- If these walls could talk, hm?
[pair laughs]
- I don't think we want to know.
We found at least 100 female undergarments,
severed pinky bone and a crashed plane on the water
a few miles from the property.
- Hey, sounds like a party.
[Ponce exhales Quietly]
- Mr. Sanders, please, be careful.
No calls to the mainland
until we can arrange a secure encryption.
We are monitoring the situation anyways.
If an arrest warrant is actually issued for you--
- How long?
Will I be safe here?
- Depends on how bad they want you.
Considering your name and the value of your capture,
I'd say four to six months.
Anything longer than that, I can't promise.
- That's enough time for me to figure things out.
- How much?
- 6,000,000,
cash.
- I'll make the transfer.
- Well, by all means, I will allow you to settle in.
You will have supply deliveries once a week
so please ration yourselves.
We'll send a cleaning crew twice a week
and security details daily.
- You've been a great friend to our family,
Minister Ponce.
- Four months.
- Good day.
- Mr. Sanders,
whatever you do,
don't let the evil spirits in this house
seep into your soul.
- Look, we all got a pass, just like this house,
but if we focus on that, it's just like trying
to resurrect that plane out of the water,
we need to focus on the future.
- Yeah.
[quiet, suspenseful music] [people Yelling]

- Fuck are you doing here, Jupiter?
- Well now come on, I'm still on record
as the family attorney, aren't I?
- No, you were fired.
Why are you here?
[Laughs] [claps Table] I'm out.
Williams!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
Look, we have a mutual interest here
and I can think of 150,000,000 reasons why you need my help.
[quiet, dramatic music]
- What do you want?
- [Chuckles] I thought you'd see things my way.
Let me get you out of here,
help you get your money from that spoiled, entitled bastard.
It's your money, you worked for it, all $150,000,000.
- I already got lawyers.
[Jupiter laughs]
- They will lose.
I have all of the juicy, inside info to make sure
that you get every red cent.
- What do you want?
- [Jupiter] 20%.
[Carissa Laughs]
- [laughs] 30 mil, are you crazy?
- The way I see it,
you've lost a lot of your friends along the way
with your little crime spree. [Chuckles]
It seems as if you need a friend like me.
You seem all alone in here
and you're facing life charges,
to say the least.
What do you have to lose?
- What makes you think I can't beat this?
[Jupiter laughing]
- They have a 98% conviction rate.
Now I don't know about you, but I don't fancy those odds.
Come here.
Let me show you what I can do,
what I did for Benjamin.
Let me show you what your idiot husband couldn't see.
I can fix this.
Just shut the fuck up and listen to me.
[quiet, dramatic Music]
- [Carissa] 15 mil.
- 20.
- Okay.
- Good girl.
Now keep your head up, nose clean
and I'll be in touch.

- Well there's nothing like home sweet home.
[woman laughs]
Listen,
I know you can't live without some real seafood gumbo.
- Shit, you ain't lying.
Gosh, but the only bad thing about it,
I mean, aside from the gumbo,
when I'm here,
I had to remember the good and the bad.
I tried to distance myself from the bad.
- Well,
bad
just got worse.
I still want my money.
I had to pay back the amigos in Houston,
the money that y'all got stolen.
It's the only reason I'm still able to stand
on my two righteous feet.
- But they killed him.
What'd I even do?
They killed my man, I mean, it's not like we was ever late.
- I should kill you,
right where you stand.
You see, I let you go see your little fucking boyfriend--
- Let me make it right.
- [Man] How you gonna do that?
- Front me. [man Laughs] - Come on now,
don't do me that, you know I'm good for it.
Come on, all I need is a quarter.
I got my cousins in a civil war, we can move that shit.
For real.
We can some powder and some pills
to them white boys down at Two Lane, come on,
all I need is a chance.
I gotta get back on my feet.
I tried that square shit, it ain't do nothing for me,
at all.
- You know what?
You a pretty little bitch
and you got balls too.
- You know I'm a hustler.
I'll give you 20% extra each time,
until my debt paid off.
Come on, Rev.
- Okay.
All right.
After church on Sunday,
we'll head over to my warehouse on Chapatulos
and I'll front you, but I am telling you,
one day late and you will wish that you stayed in Hollywood
with Tom Cruise, you unclean, high, yellow bitch.
- Okay.
- Ah.
But you owe me.
So I do what the fuck I wanna do.
- It's not very Christian-like, Rev.
- Hey, well it's better to give than receive.
[woman Laughs]
- I'll see you in church on Sunday.
- See ya.
[man exhales]
[wind Hissing]
- [Sanders] Oh, I'm thinking about my kids,
thinking about my father,
I'm thinking, how did it all come down to this?
- [Woman] You made the right decision, Cameron.
- You know, my father always told me,
as a leader, sometimes you have to eat shit.
It's the decisions you have to make
or sometimes the corners you find yourself backed up into,
you wind up choosing between the lesser of two evils.
Either way, you have to eat shit.
- [laughs] Well maybe just for a little while,
but you'll rise again.
You'll come out on top, we will come out on top.
I got you, Cameron.
You have a real woman by your side.
No more little girl games.
I'm here for you.
[Carissa sighs]
- Look,
are you okay?
- I just got off with my lawyer,
they're charging me with the whole conspiracy.
- [Laughs] Fuck. - I ain't do nothing.
I was just a small part.
[labored breathing] [gentle Music]
- I'm sure it's gonna be fine.
I know your lawyer's got you, okay?
- [Woman] I ain't never been in trouble.
I'm in college, I just,
I just fell in love
and he said he was going to protect me.
And he got me all wrapped up in this shit,
and I ain't do shit.
I just, I just let him keep some of the stuff.
[club clanks door]
- [Guard] Sanders!
Let's go.
Your lawyer's back.
Cuff up.
[cuffs Clinking]
- [Carissa] I don't have time for this.
You're talking about conspiracy,
[laughs] bitch, that's the least, okay?
- Step back. - The least.
- I got a son! [Crying]
He gotta have a mother, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I didn't do shit. [crying]
I didn't do shit. [Crying]
[gentle, quiet music]
- You know, I really appreciate you bringing me this food,
Marina, this food in here is trash.
It's worse than high school cafeteria food.
- Yeah, it's healthy.
I bought this vegan cookbook--
- Oh vegan. - Impossible meat tacos.
[pair Laughs] - To be honest,
I don't give a fuck what it is,
I could eat anything right about now.
Mm.
- Mm. - Mm.
- You like it?
[pair laughs]
- It's not oxtails and jerk chicken,
[Smacks] but it'll do.
- Okay. [pair laughs]
You need to be healthy.

- I like that.
- Okay?
[pair Laughs]
[wind hissing] [gentle, quiet Music]
- Have a seat.
[chair rattles]
These good, government folk are here to have a conversation
about your case.
- The US attorney?
- Mmhmm.
[Carissa Exhales]
- I'm out of my office.
I'm in this dump.
I send people here, I don't come here,
but she said you wanted to talk.
So I have my two best agents here,
we wanna listen.
- Now as eager as the A-USA seems at this moment,
I feel it's best if you let me do the talking.
- Your client is facing a significant charge,
conspiracy to commit murder.
If I were you, I'd save the dramatics
and let's get to the point.
- Well, we all are aware of the gravity of the charges,
but um,
I don't know about you,
but when I'm stressed, as a woman,
like as a professional woman, like I need stimulation
'cause we can always succumb to our weakness.
You know, sometimes, we have to do the job ourselves.
Now for me, I need a visual.
Or sometime, oh no, most of the time,
it really helps to keep me engaged.
And I don't know about you guys,
but I feel like we're all a little stressed right now,
you know?
And we could use a break,
just to maybe freshen up.
What do you say, ladies?
[folder thumps]
No, no, wait, don't leave.
I'd like to allow you to partake
in a viewing pleasure of my personal favorite video.
It really helps when you loosen all the way up.
[Moaning] [heavy breathing]
Well, his tongue is very active, oh my.
[Laughs] Lucky girl!
Oh, you got yourself a little chocolate
for your birthday, huh?
[computer thumps]
- Okay, I'm listening.
- So, in my estimation,
and now I'm just a country girl who went to law school
because of affirmative action, so what do I know?
But your case is built on two things,
the testimony of an underaged killer
whose murder has yet to be charged, for some odd reason.
And a testimony of an undercover agent
who sexually abused his target.
So you see, my client is not a criminal,
she's a victim.
Now as much as I enjoy a good, steamy video,
I mean, for my own personal pleasure,
what do you think a federal judge
would think about viewing this, hm?
Or what about the office of professional responsibility?
Oh, better yet, what about the local news?
What do you think they would think
about this law enforcement porn?
I'm thinking "Mr. Officer Takes Malibu," maybe?
That's just, I'm just throwing that out there for free.
You can have that. [Chuckles]
But your boss would never sit his ambitious,
obese, white, liberal behind any governor's chair,
if this video gets out.
And you guys,
you'll be restocking water hoses at the Home Depot,
by the end of the month.
- I need 48 hours
to talk to my Chief of Criminal Investigations.
- I wanna be in front of the magistrate in the morning.
You will not stop her bail
and she will walk out of here tomorrow.
- You've got a strong hand, I must admit,
but let's let this game play out just a bit more.
- [slams desk] Tomorrow!
Magistrate.
She walks out of here.
Do you understand me?
[gentle, quiet Music]
- See you in the morning.

- I can't believe I fell for his lies.
- As women, we're always trying to save somebody else.
And this time, you just wanted to believe
that someone would save you.
But actually, he did.
Pack your things.
[hissing wind] [gentle, dramatic Music]
[man sighs]
- Know this is a long way out, right?
And you didn't have to have your goons
hit me with that damn taser.
- Had to make it look believable.
- Yeah, well it hurt.
I'm still having heart palpitations.
- You're a big boy, soldier,
you can stand a little ass whipping.
Uncle Sam would be embarrassed right about now.
- Here's your SD card.
It's only you leaving the dock,
nobody else.
- 2,000,000, on hard drive, in crypto.
I'll give you the location for the safe deposit box
and the security unlock code.
Key.
Only my daughter, Stephanie, knows the code.
- If you fuck me over, I'll find you.
- [Sanders] How was it?
- How was what?
- Fucking my wife?
[man Laughs]
- You're sick.
- After you get your money, never I see your face again.
- If I don't get my money,
you'll definitely see my face again.

[quiet crying]
- I never imagined, as a little girl,
that I would be in here.
It feels like, like all my dreams are slipping away.
- Dreams can only slip away when you stop holding on to 'em.
- [Crying] My son.
Who gonna take care of him?
When his mama's on drugs?
He ain't gonna have nobody to protect him. [crying]
I can't die in here.
- It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay, you just gotta be strong.
Fuck, just be strong.
[woman crying]
Now stop all that damn crying, I wanna go to sleep.
Goddamn.
[woman Sniffing]
[water pattering]
- Now look, we've both taken some losses,
we did not order the death of your son, Nigel,
that was Carissa's doing and we'll deal with that,
but in the meantime, we have mutual interests.
Let's not get bloodthirsty here.

And if you can't dance, you should not get up.

You just enjoy the sunshine
until you make it home.

this is one that's gonna carry you out
the close to your week, and he said,
so take the talents from him
and give it to the one who has the 10 talents,
for to everyone who has will more be given
and if he will have an abundance,
[rhythmic, calm music]
but
from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.
And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness.

- We can erase the sins of our past.
- I guess you're right.
- In that place,
there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Amen?

[congregation Applauding] Come on,
give the Lord some praise.

Come on, lift your voices,
only what you do for Christ will last.
Only what you do for Christ will last.

We should make some more.
