It Is Not Light We Need, But Fire

Previously on "Our Kind of People"
Is there something going
on with you and Lauren?
Jack Harmon.
He had some important papers that I urgently need.
RAYMOND: Mind if I take a look at those documents before you take them back to Franklin Holdings? Darius' death is on my hands.
I'm going to turn myself in.
Angela no longer has a place in this family.
OLIVIA: I'm sorry, Ms.
Vaughn.
You did not make the cut.
Getting this deal memo means a lot to me.
You'd make a good inside man - if you stayed on.
- I'm in.
Piggy knew you would try to talk her out of turning herself in.
Left you and Nik these.
PIGGY: There is nothing that will stop me.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Angela? What's wrong? It's Piggy.
She went down to the police station and turned herself in for murdering Darius Bates.
You helped her cover it up.
You know it was self-defense.
Can you please help her? I mean, you got Nate out of prison with a phone call.
Please.
I'll d-do whatever.
Hmm.
Both you and I are stubborn, bull-headed, and laser-focused on what we want for our family.
So I will help Piggy.
Additionally, I will set up a generous trust for Nikki and ample seed money for Eve's Crown, enough for you to handle your own distribution.
Well, what do you want in return? Leave Oak Bluffs for good.
Angela, as much as I've come to love you and Nikki, there are just things that are more difficult with you here, things I can't have you digging up.
- "Things.
" - Mm-hmm.
I was right.
You're hiding something.
At least you finally said it to my face.
Couple of weeks ago, I thought that having you in my life would make me feel whole.
I'm already whole.
And Piggy is a part of that.
So, I'll consider your offer to help her.
But my God.
What a disappointment you are.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
Head high Confident Strong mind Resilient You can't break me, I was born to rise Our kind of people Ooh, ooh Our kind of people Ooh, ooh You got me right where you want me If you never leave me lonely I can the one, be the only Long as you keep showing me love Got me right where you want me Say you never leave me lonely I can the one, be the only I could be the best thing For you, you, you, you, you, you, you - I could be the best, be the - Okey - be the best thing for you - Okay - Best thing to you - Where's the party? Right here! - Look.
Beads or no beads? - Beads.
Gee, it's like It's like 3:00 a.
m.
, and it's Oh.
3:07.
What up? Couldn't sleep.
Some people count sheep.
I count braids.
- You want to talk about it? - Talk about what? How I went to see Teddy today, asking for help with Piggy, and he told me, yeah, he'll help, as long as I leave the island for good? Why would he want that? Good question.
'Cause he's shook.
'Cause I'm getting closer to the truth.
[SCOFFS.]
Look, I know Teddy framed my mother for drug possession in the '80s.
He wanted her gone then just like he wants me gone now.
That's why he made Leah shut me out the Graceties.
They think they're gonna just close off their little social clubs, and I'm gonna just give up and dip? [SCOFFS.]
- Gee, maybe you should take this deal.
- Nate, please.
It wouldn't be the worst thing to leave this place.
- Nate, my mother was wronged.
- I know.
And wanting revenge feels natural.
- Noble.
- Yep.
But trust me, Gee.
It can destroy you.
My first few years in prison, I fantasized about what I would do to the guy that actually shot and killed that security guard.
We said, "No guns.
" He brought one anyway.
And just like that, my future, my family, everything was gone.
I wanted to pay him back, Gee, and that anger and that hatred it took holda' me.
And it kept me in a toxic place in the past.
You have a bright future ahead of you.
With Nikki, with everything you are doing with Eve's Crown.
Why not put all of your energy into that? Do that in your mom's name.
[SNIFFLES.]
Beads.
Mr.
Dupont, your signature is needed on these right away.
You know what these are, don't you? These are the transfer documents that will return Jack's Darmon shares back to their rightful place.
With me.
I do hate the fact that my business partner's death made these mine again, but, oh, well.
- Winning is winning.
- And gloating is for dilettantes.
Look, we've been going through this for years.
You've never liked me, and I'm okay with that.
This is not about feelings.
This is about business, about legacy, about leaving behind a solid foundation to build upon.
Well, whether you like it or not, we're family.
Hurting me hurts your daughter, hurts your grandkids.
But you know what? You have that ego to where you need to snuff out the ones you love to make you feel like the man.
And you want to call me weak.
All you do is hide behind your money.
You dangle a carrot in front of your own daughter to buy her love.
You hid your wife away because you couldn't handle her illness.
Now look at you.
[CHUCKLES.]
You want to call me weak.
All of that is weak as hell.
And this is why I prefer taking breakfast in my suite.
You may own Jack's shares.
- I own the company.
- For now.
This is only the first step.
You keep thinking that.
You didn't make it to breakfast.
Yeah.
Um I guess I wasn't hungry.
Still thinking about what you did to Angela? Yes.
But you could be more gentle.
Right now you are in a bad place with Angela because of what your father did.
Made you spy on her.
Hold back information.
And you blocked her every move.
Okay, I know you don't believe this, but he really is just trying to protect me.
And, more importantly, my mother.
Sweetheart, the only person Teddy Franklin protects is Teddy Franklin.
He lies and manipulates everybody in his path.
And the only reason why he keeps you fat and happy is 'cause you don't call him on it.
Wow, babe.
This has been one hell of a pep talk.
Okay, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
How about this? How about you quit Franklin Holdings and we run Darmon together? Full partners.
[CHUCKLES.]
Raymond, that's not even an option.
It will be when I get the company back.
Baby, the two of us together We would be unstoppable.
Darmon needs it.
You deserve it.
A real partnership.
What do you say? I miss your face.
TAYLOR: You're looking at it, goof.
[CHUCKLES.]
I mean in person.
Something crazy is happening with my aunt, and, um Maybe we can go get ices at Mira's later today? Yeah.
Just let me know when.
Thanks.
And, um, Tay? - I love you.
- Aww, babe.
I'll catch you soon, okay? [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
I watch you [SIGHS.]
That was awkward.
You feel awkward? I'm the one cheating on my girlfriend.
Is it really cheating, though, if you're literally just sleeping with your ex? Pretty sure it is.
And we did more than sleep that first night.
Right, but I mean, seeing Uncle Jack freaked us both out.
And I'm not saying that it's right, but we were just making each other feel better in the moment.
Yeah.
Even when you're no good for me Even now, when I close my eyes You can still see him.
I know.
[SIGHS.]
I got to break up with her.
- What? - Yeah.
N-No.
- Please don't do that.
- What? Like you said, right now, emotions are running high.
And you and I are just We're helping each other through a rough patch.
It's like we have some I don't know Some sort of trauma bond.
We have a bond, period.
We were each other's first.
You and I fit together.
When you're in my arms, it feels right, and I I don't want anybody else.
What you did And it feels just like murder Killin' me, killin' me - I'm not going anywhere.
- Killin' me softly Killin' me, killin' me softly I actually can't believe I'm saying this, but [SCOFFS.]
I actually care about Nikki's feelings, and I don't want her heart to get broken.
I watch you cut me down I We're finally in, like, this really good place as cousins and Still I keep marching right on back Tay, all I'm asking for is just a little bit more time for us to break the news to her.
I could really use somebody What is going on? I thought that this is what you wanted.
You would always tell me, "Be nice to the girl.
" I'm being nice.
Fine.
It's just weird that being "nice" is making me feel this bad.
Erase what you did And it feels just like murder Killin' me, killin' me EVE: I had dreams, baby.
I had a small salon, and I was gonna make it something big.
LITTLE ANGELA: Mama, don't cry.
I'm done crying.
It's on you now.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
Angela, I want to explain why I voted you out of the Graceties.
I know why.
Your daddy made you do it.
Your agenda was gonna end up hurting my mother.
Leah my mother is dead, okay? It took everything in me to scatter her ashes in a place that broke her heart.
Your mother's alive and well.
I hope you're grateful for that.
Anyway [SIGHS.]
I get it now.
No matter how hard I push, I cannot find answers 'cause you are gonna block me.
So just stop pretending that you care about me, that the sisterhood is real.
Go.
Tell your father we have a deal.
I'll leave the Bluffs for good.
I'll take his seed money.
Oh, what, you gonna act like you didn't know? - I didn't.
- Well, you do now.
As for you and me, I don't see a reason for us to see each other again.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
Her name is Patricia Vaughn.
She went in last night.
I just need to know that she's okay.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Yes, I'll hold.
- Maybe we should just go down there.
- I wanted to, but Teddy [GASPS.]
Piggy! Oh.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm just tired.
I guess you can't say Teddy doesn't hold up his end of the bargain.
What is that supposed to mean? I asked him to pull some strings.
He didn't pull crap.
This whole time, I've been in a room with two detectives confessing my heart out.
But when you walk in off the street and admit to a murder from 30-plus years ago, that ain't enough for an arrest.
They let me go pending an investigation.
Until they find Darius' body, I'm a free woman.
Waiting for a shoe like that to drop doesn't sound very "free," Piggy.
Oh, it does to me, baby girl.
I prayed on this, and my heart is right.
My burden has been lifted.
Now, you said "bargain.
" What did that snake Teddy ask you to do? He said he would help only if I agreed to leave the island for good.
And what about finding out what happened to your mama? Look, Piggy, I don't know what's gonna come of this investigation.
I just wanted to make sure that we had all of Teddy's connections at our disposal.
I want you to listen to me.
Now, I'm not gonna let you give up clearing your mama's name to protect me.
I will serve my time.
And all we need to do now is enjoy our time together while we have it.
Oh, come on, now.
Ain't nothing to cry about but taxes.
[CHUCKLES.]
Now, we're gonna celebrate.
And I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna give myself a grand throw-down barbecue with all our old friends before I go away, okay? And all I want you two to do is smile, dance, and maybe get a little faded.
Not you, baby girl.
Well, we Vaughn women do know how to throw down.
Mm-hmm, yes, we do.
I say let's do it today, alright? Let's give me the best "farewell" ever.
Alright.
So, everybody thought we were gonna do the waltz, but we had something else planned.
We even got the DJ involved.
QUINCY: Grandma, they were not ready.
I'm telling you.
ROSE: Oh, look at that! That was you upside down.
- That was me.
- You kids are so clever.
What do you think you'd have done if you were there? I probably would have fainted.
You would have loved it.
JACKIE: Here you go.
Thank you, Jackie.
Patrick, take her luggage upstairs.
LEAH: Well, you have to see Olivia's reaction.
She almost fell off the podium.
LAUREN: That may have been the best part of the whole thing.
- QUINCY: So mad.
- Oh, Daddy! Why don't you come on in and give your wife a hug? - Hi, Granddaddy.
- Hey, Grandpa.
- How's it going, Lauren? - Good.
How are you? I'm alright.
Thought I would come home and help Leah - prep for the Grand Illumination week.
- Hmm.
You know how special that night is to me.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, Leah, can I, um Yeah.
So, we started it in, like, two rows, right? - And I - Why is your mother here? She called and said she wanted to be a part of the Grand Illumination festivities.
Her doctors signed off.
She's taking her meds.
And look at her.
I mean, she hasn't been this lucid or energetic in a really long time.
You should have consulted with me first.
Why? You didn't consult with me before offering Angela a deal.
And she's taking it, by the way.
Then we're almost finished.
- Just like that? - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, I'm having a harder time with it.
When you told me to torpedo her Graceties membership, you destroyed any hope of us becoming real sisters.
We all have to make sacrifices to protect the family.
Right.
And what are your sacrifices? I'm losing a daughter again.
That you're pushing out.
You know, Raymond accused you of keeping me fat and happy to control me.
Is that what you think? I'm protecting your mother.
But you could hardly hug her or greet her.
I mean, if this is all about protecting Mommy, then she can stay in this house, her home, for as long as she wants, and I'm gonna be there for her.
Ruining my relationship with Angela has got to be worth something, right, Daddy? RAYMOND: And this morning, Teddy had no choice but to watch those shares come right back to me.
The first of many battles won.
Well played.
How are things on your end? Well, you know how you said you and Leah are locked out of the Our Legacy files? Thanks to my new gig designing the skyboxes for Teddy, IT has hooked me up with the login and password for Franklin Holdings.
I think I can back-door it, get in, and see what he's been hiding.
And I can get my company back and my wife free and I It's scary how he has her played.
She doesn't see it, but I'm gonna show her who he really is.
Hey, you gotta fight for the woman you love.
Speaking of which, you and Angela You guys got something going, right? Yeah.
I might've messed that up.
And now she's got her ex hanging around, so Wait, you talking about her baby's father - that lives with her? - Yeah.
That's more than hanging around.
Alright, alright, I'm I'm getting back in the fight.
I just hate to take down a brother that just got home, but You can't win if you don't battle.
To winning the battle and the war.
Lord, forgive me For the things that I'm doin' You're lookin' for, you're lookin' for that money You're not like these other girls.
Are you using lines on me now? No.
I'm serious.
Look, I don't know why I waste my time with these bougie princesses when you're real.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
So, Mariah Treadwell's bag was stolen from her Beach Party.
Um, and it's oxblood red, so it's, like, super rare.
Seen it? So the maid's granddaughter must've taken it? - Way to be basic.
- Not as basic as gold-digging.
Lo, relax.
I've been watching this girl for a week, and she is on you like it's her damn job.
So what? Is this your summer job, Sloane? My brother? You know, you should be more like your friend Taylor.
I like her.
She's nice.
Oh, and by the way, tell her I love those kicks she was wearing.
Does Nikki know y'all have been kicking it? Have you been spying on us? I was cleaning the upstairs hallway when you walked her out.
Of course you didn't notice.
I mean, the help is invisible to girls like you.
Q doesn't know your business.
But I suggest you stay out of mine.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Ah, Brooks.
I need your services.
You're the best investigator I know.
My son-in-law is trying to acquire some shares as a result of the demise of his business partner with whom I struck a deal for those same shares.
The contract mysteriously disappeared.
I would like you to look into Jack Harmon's death, which has been ruled as accidental.
Find something that would force the police to re-open the case.
Pay close attention to the actions of my son-in-law.
I don't trust him.
If I can get Jack's death ruled as suspicious, it will stall the transfer of Jack's shares to Raymond.
I'm on it, Boss.
Excellent.
Oh, and and one more thing.
I promised to help Patricia Vaughn.
So I need something delivered to Eve's Crown.
Thank you.
Checkmate.
So, this is the dress that you were inducted in? ROSE: Mm-hmm.
It is exquisite.
[CHUCKLES.]
I mean, what do you think? I mean, probably have to drop the hem a little bit, right? Mm, wear it and all eyes will be on you, as they should, Madame President.
You are about to usher women into a beautiful sisterhood.
Leah, is something wrong? Um, Ashley, will you give us a minute, please? There is one sister who should be there My sister, Angela Vaughn.
And, Mommy, I'm sorry.
I know that name brings up painful memories for you, but now Daddy wants her gone to protect the family.
And I don't even know what that means.
Can you tell me why? Your father and I have so many secrets.
And I'm sorry if our past is making our present that much harder.
I've always made your life that much harder.
And that's why I called to come home before the ball, to be here with you for your big day To tell you that I love you, my beautiful baby girl.
I want to have a good memory with you even if it's just this one.
There are gonna be plenty more, Mommy.
I promise.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS, INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
You was right.
You was right.
We needed this.
Go big and then take my ass to the big house.
[CHUCKLES.]

You need to mind your business.
[CHUCKLES.]
Listen, if I don't mind your business, I don't know who will.
Now, I know that you two got work to do, but don't forget that I was there when you first met.
And I saw how you looked at each other.
That kind of kismet is so rare, so beautiful.
Black love and all that good stuff.
Put your right foot to the back I, um I do feel responsible for getting in the way of all that.
I mean, if I had just come clean earlier and given you the closure that you needed, Tyrique, maybe there wouldn't be so much distance between you two.
Yeah, well, don't feel that way.
I take responsibility for the missteps me and Angela have.
Just hope it's not too late.
Alright, make the earth quake, people! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
At the party got to do what counts Big cash coming in large amounts I don't wanna see you shake, make it bounce 'Cause that's what a dancing party's all about At the party got to do what counts Big cash coming in large amounts [TENSE MUSIC PLAYS.]
Darius? Hello, Patricia.
PIGGY: 30-plus years, and you let me think you were dead.
That's what we wanted you to believe.
- Who's we? - Me and Teddy Franklin.
After you stabbed me, I passed out Partly from the blood loss, partly from all the drugs I had in my system.
When I woke up, Teddy was there.
Eve said her boss could help me.
And he knew how much Eve wanted you to get clean, so I guess he figured the best way to do that was to have you think that I was dead.
I guess the bastard was right.
Because the guilt that I carried around after that night is what finally drove me to N.
A.
Why are you here now? Someone from Teddy's camp reached out, said that Patricia turned herself in for my murder, and that I should get down to the police station myself and clear this up.
Then after that, I was supposed to come here so you could see me with your own eyes.
I can still barely believe it.
And our last night together, I was at my worst.
High outta my mind on them drugs.
Laying hands on the woman I loved.
When you stabbed me, that should've ended it for me.
Instead, it gave me a new beginning, helped me put my life back on track.
So I sincerely hope that, after today, you get a new beginning, too.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, oh, Lord.
Thank you for setting me free.
And, I guess, I thank you, Teddy Franklin.
Why are you so rude? - What? - Lo, I like her.
- So you need to fall back.
- [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
Q, I'm your twin.
I know you better than other people do.
Sloane's not it.
That girl threatened me.
You act like you own me, Lo, like you get a say in what I do.
You don't.
Anytime I get something for me, you Y-you see it as a threat a-and you try to blow it up 'cause you're selfish and you're controlling.
And I'm getting sick of it.
You know what? I was trying to be nice about the whole Sloane thing, but here are the facts.
The only reason you like Sloane is because she's poor, which, honestly, I-I don't get that.
But you are going to drop her like you drop everything else in your life.
I would be surprised if this relationship lasted more than two weeks, tops.
I feel bad for Sloane 'cause that girl doesn't even know what's coming to her.
There's something wrong with you.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[CHIME.]
Oh.
Excuse me, milady.
Can I have this dance? Rules are made to be broken Baby I'm breakin' all my rules For you I apologize for my coldness towards you earlier.
Now you just hush.
This piece was playing during our first waltz at the Grand Illumination Ball in 1984.
I remember.
Now my mother And this is a hard time of year for me.
Of course it is.
For me as well.
To make sure they're strong But you mustn't give in I know, I know, I know I'm so sorry.
I destroyed our family, and I am doing everything I can to make up for it.
I know.
Rules are made to be broken Just dance with me.
Baby I'm breakin' all my rules For you I know there are certain things to wait Till after we're married I know there are certain things That girls aren't supposed to do But I forget about the right - LEAH: Mommy? - And givin' all my heart to you It's time for the Graceties brunch.
- Are you ready? - [Chuckles.]
To be broken Wow.
You're really just lounging? Yeah, I think we both know better than to keep Olivia waiting.
Yeah Did you not even make it into bed last night? To be opened, baby Mommy.
Door to my heart is open For you - Mommy? [GASPS.]
- Baby, baby, baby Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy! [SOBS.]
Sugar, sugar, sugar Mommy, wake up! Oh, my God! Oh, yeah Rules are made to be broken Baby I'm breakin' every rule - [Gasps.]
- For you Yeah Doors are made I wish I could go to the funeral with you.
But I have to help set up the reception with my grandma.
QUINCY: Yeah, I know.
Thank you for being so sweet about this.
Of course.
Whatever you need, I'm here for you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Um Sloane, can I get a second with my brother, please? Sloane, you don't have to go anywhere.
Q, it's our grandmother's funeral.
The car's outside.
I-I brought your jacket.
I got it.
I'm proud of you.
Standing up for yourself.
For us.
I'll see you after, okay? DARIUS: Hey, Trish.
Thanks for meeting me on such short notice.
Hey, of course.
What's so important? [SIGHS.]
Why are you so nervous? I'm just a little shook.
Coming back here makes me think about all the bad things I've done.
Things I blocked out for decades.
But I swear, Piggy.
I've changed.
I'm a deacon at my church now.
I volunteer four times a week down at the shelter, and I am not taking this second chance for granted.
I see you.
And I believe you.
Teddy Franklin gave me another life.
Thing is, he never let me forget about it.
Through the years, my phone would ring, and it would be him wanting a favor.
To say no would risk losing everything.
So Careful.
Careful.
What are you trying to pull me into? Teddy showed up on my doorstep one night, back in '84.
He was about to join some fancy rich people club up on the Bluffs, and so he was dressed to the nines, you know, formal wear.
His wife, too.
She was a hot mess.
Looked like she had seen a ghost.
She kept mumbling something about Eve.
And before I could say anything, Teddy shoves this gun at me and says, "Get rid of it.
" Then he was gone.
And I don't know why I held onto the gun so long.
I guess I thought it might serve as some sort of leverage.
But I never heard from Teddy again.
Till the other day, which brought me to you.
What do you expect me to do with this thing? I'm not sure, but it might help 'cause, from what I hear, he's got something on your niece.
Then I was thinking, you couldn't fight him before, but now you can.
Besides, I owe you.
Look, I got to go.
I got to say, you look as beautiful as the day we first met.
And I still dream about that magnificent ass.
[CHUCKLES.]
There's the old Darius.
You take good care of yourself, okay? You too.
NIKKI: You're not ready? Mom, at the end of the day, Leah's still your sister.
In blood, not bond.
That's not true.
I see you both.
She may have broke your heart, but maybe you broke hers a little, too.
Remember Mama Eve's funeral and that mailman she always used to fight with came? [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Those two hated each other.
They hated each other.
But when he hugged me and he told me, "I'm sorry for your loss," it meant the world to me.
Now, good or bad she's still our family.
[SIGHS DEEPLY.]
ROSE: My darling, Leah.
I feel like my time has come.
Soon I will move to His house.
That's why I came home.
So I could hold your face and kiss it one last time.
These last hours spent together have been my happiest.
You should never look back at our relationship with any regret.
Any strife between me and your father had nothing to do with you.
My life has been filled with many blessings.
But the one I hold most precious is the wonderful gift your father gave me, and that's you, Leah.
And while the Bible says you should honor your parents Which you have done I leave you with this Do not live your life for your father.
You must get out from under his shadow.
If you don't, you will whither away.
And that's one thing about your daddy He needs all of the sun.
I'm ready.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
Oh, hold on.
I'll be right behind you.
Okay.
Brooks.
I hope this is important.
BROOKS: I spoke with several ladies who were staying at the Beach Club a week before Jack Harmon died.
Now, they remember seeing him slip a woman a key to his bungalow.
These ladies all swear that woman was your daughter Leah Dupont.
Well, it was smart of you to call.
Obviously, keep this between us.
MINISTER: We're here today to mourn the passing of Sister Rose Franklin, a wife a mother a grandmother a dear friend.
But I am here today to remind you that death is not the end.
See, Sister Rose now has eternal life.
Like Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
" Forever and ever, amen.
TOGETHER: Amen.
Rose.
I prayed I would not live to see this day.
I tried to do right by you, but I'd be lying if I claimed to have executed that plan.
People who are loved never really die.
They live on through those they have touched.
Quincy, you have Rose's courage.
Lauren her fire.
Leah her unyielding strength.
I know that this shared grief will bring us even closer.
Rose, as I look at our beautiful family every day, I know that what we built together was not in vain.
So rest assured, Rose That your family will miss you dearly.
Olivia: As most of you know, Rose Franklin was my dearest friend.
And today our fellow Graceties are going to join me in singing a chorus from her sisters to wave her up to Heaven.
[PIANO PLAYS.]
Precious Lord Take My hand Lead Lead me on And let me stand Through the storm Through the storm All through the night Mm Ohh, ohh, ohh Take my hand [CHUCKLES.]
I know you thought you were weak.
But you were the strongest woman I've ever known.
I am so proud to be your daughter.
[SNIFFLES.]
You deserved so much more than you got from this life.
I will honor you for the rest of my days.
[SOBS.]
Ohh, ohh, ohh Take my hand Precious Lord Lead me home Mm, mm, mmm There's a certain cry at funerals.
It's a wail that comes from the gut.
With everything that's happened between me and Leah, I wouldn't wish that pain on anybody.
Whose gun is that? According to Darius, it's Teddy's.
He said Teddy gave it to him to hide the night that your mother was arrested.
What else did Darius say? I don't know any more, baby, and neither does Darius.
But the only reason that someone hides a gun is if it's used in a crime.
Oh.
Well, then we are gonna figure out exactly what my father did.
Oh, get ready, Teddy, 'cause I'm coming for you.
We're coming.
For Eve.
For Eve.
Don't miss the new series, Our Kind of People.
Tuesdays on Fox.
He had some important papers that I urgently need.
RAYMOND: Mind if I take a look at those documents before you take them back to Franklin Holdings? Darius' death is on my hands.
I'm going to turn myself in.
Angela no longer has a place in this family.
OLIVIA: I'm sorry, Ms.
Vaughn.
You did not make the cut.
Getting this deal memo means a lot to me.
You'd make a good inside man - if you stayed on.
- I'm in.
Piggy knew you would try to talk her out of turning herself in.
Left you and Nik these.
PIGGY: There is nothing that will stop me.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Angela? What's wrong? It's Piggy.
She went down to the police station and turned herself in for murdering Darius Bates.
You helped her cover it up.
You know it was self-defense.
Can you please help her? I mean, you got Nate out of prison with a phone call.
Please.
I'll d-do whatever.
Hmm.
Both you and I are stubborn, bull-headed, and laser-focused on what we want for our family.
So I will help Piggy.
Additionally, I will set up a generous trust for Nikki and ample seed money for Eve's Crown, enough for you to handle your own distribution.
Well, what do you want in return? Leave Oak Bluffs for good.
Angela, as much as I've come to love you and Nikki, there are just things that are more difficult with you here, things I can't have you digging up.
- "Things.
" - Mm-hmm.
I was right.
You're hiding something.
At least you finally said it to my face.
Couple of weeks ago, I thought that having you in my life would make me feel whole.
I'm already whole.
And Piggy is a part of that.
So, I'll consider your offer to help her.
But my God.
What a disappointment you are.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
Head high Confident Strong mind Resilient You can't break me, I was born to rise Our kind of people Ooh, ooh Our kind of people Ooh, ooh You got me right where you want me If you never leave me lonely I can the one, be the only Long as you keep showing me love Got me right where you want me Say you never leave me lonely I can the one, be the only I could be the best thing For you, you, you, you, you, you, you - I could be the best, be the - Okey - be the best thing for you - Okay - Best thing to you - Where's the party? Right here! - Look.
Beads or no beads? - Beads.
Gee, it's like It's like 3:00 a.
m.
, and it's Oh.
3:07.
What up? Couldn't sleep.
Some people count sheep.
I count braids.
- You want to talk about it? - Talk about what? How I went to see Teddy today, asking for help with Piggy, and he told me, yeah, he'll help, as long as I leave the island for good? Why would he want that? Good question.
'Cause he's shook.
'Cause I'm getting closer to the truth.
[SCOFFS.]
Look, I know Teddy framed my mother for drug possession in the '80s.
He wanted her gone then just like he wants me gone now.
That's why he made Leah shut me out the Graceties.
They think they're gonna just close off their little social clubs, and I'm gonna just give up and dip? [SCOFFS.]
- Gee, maybe you should take this deal.
- Nate, please.
It wouldn't be the worst thing to leave this place.
- Nate, my mother was wronged.
- I know.
And wanting revenge feels natural.
- Noble.
- Yep.
But trust me, Gee.
It can destroy you.
My first few years in prison, I fantasized about what I would do to the guy that actually shot and killed that security guard.
We said, "No guns.
" He brought one anyway.
And just like that, my future, my family, everything was gone.
I wanted to pay him back, Gee, and that anger and that hatred it took holda' me.
And it kept me in a toxic place in the past.
You have a bright future ahead of you.
With Nikki, with everything you are doing with Eve's Crown.
Why not put all of your energy into that? Do that in your mom's name.
[SNIFFLES.]
Beads.
Mr.
Dupont, your signature is needed on these right away.
You know what these are, don't you? These are the transfer documents that will return Jack's Darmon shares back to their rightful place.
With me.
I do hate the fact that my business partner's death made these mine again, but, oh, well.
- Winning is winning.
- And gloating is for dilettantes.
Look, we've been going through this for years.
You've never liked me, and I'm okay with that.
This is not about feelings.
This is about business, about legacy, about leaving behind a solid foundation to build upon.
Well, whether you like it or not, we're family.
Hurting me hurts your daughter, hurts your grandkids.
But you know what? You have that ego to where you need to snuff out the ones you love to make you feel like the man.
And you want to call me weak.
All you do is hide behind your money.
You dangle a carrot in front of your own daughter to buy her love.
You hid your wife away because you couldn't handle her illness.
Now look at you.
[CHUCKLES.]
You want to call me weak.
All of that is weak as hell.
And this is why I prefer taking breakfast in my suite.
You may own Jack's shares.
- I own the company.
- For now.
This is only the first step.
You keep thinking that.
You didn't make it to breakfast.
Yeah.
Um I guess I wasn't hungry.
Still thinking about what you did to Angela? Yes.
But you could be more gentle.
Right now you are in a bad place with Angela because of what your father did.
Made you spy on her.
Hold back information.
And you blocked her every move.
Okay, I know you don't believe this, but he really is just trying to protect me.
And, more importantly, my mother.
Sweetheart, the only person Teddy Franklin protects is Teddy Franklin.
He lies and manipulates everybody in his path.
And the only reason why he keeps you fat and happy is 'cause you don't call him on it.
Wow, babe.
This has been one hell of a pep talk.
Okay, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
How about this? How about you quit Franklin Holdings and we run Darmon together? Full partners.
[CHUCKLES.]
Raymond, that's not even an option.
It will be when I get the company back.
Baby, the two of us together We would be unstoppable.
Darmon needs it.
You deserve it.
A real partnership.
What do you say? I miss your face.
TAYLOR: You're looking at it, goof.
[CHUCKLES.]
I mean in person.
Something crazy is happening with my aunt, and, um Maybe we can go get ices at Mira's later today? Yeah.
Just let me know when.
Thanks.
And, um, Tay? - I love you.
- Aww, babe.
I'll catch you soon, okay? [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
I watch you [SIGHS.]
That was awkward.
You feel awkward? I'm the one cheating on my girlfriend.
Is it really cheating, though, if you're literally just sleeping with your ex? Pretty sure it is.
And we did more than sleep that first night.
Right, but I mean, seeing Uncle Jack freaked us both out.
And I'm not saying that it's right, but we were just making each other feel better in the moment.
Yeah.
Even when you're no good for me Even now, when I close my eyes You can still see him.
I know.
[SIGHS.]
I got to break up with her.
- What? - Yeah.
N-No.
- Please don't do that.
- What? Like you said, right now, emotions are running high.
And you and I are just We're helping each other through a rough patch.
It's like we have some I don't know Some sort of trauma bond.
We have a bond, period.
We were each other's first.
You and I fit together.
When you're in my arms, it feels right, and I I don't want anybody else.
What you did And it feels just like murder Killin' me, killin' me - I'm not going anywhere.
- Killin' me softly Killin' me, killin' me softly I actually can't believe I'm saying this, but [SCOFFS.]
I actually care about Nikki's feelings, and I don't want her heart to get broken.
I watch you cut me down I We're finally in, like, this really good place as cousins and Still I keep marching right on back Tay, all I'm asking for is just a little bit more time for us to break the news to her.
I could really use somebody What is going on? I thought that this is what you wanted.
You would always tell me, "Be nice to the girl.
" I'm being nice.
Fine.
It's just weird that being "nice" is making me feel this bad.
Erase what you did And it feels just like murder Killin' me, killin' me EVE: I had dreams, baby.
I had a small salon, and I was gonna make it something big.
LITTLE ANGELA: Mama, don't cry.
I'm done crying.
It's on you now.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
Angela, I want to explain why I voted you out of the Graceties.
I know why.
Your daddy made you do it.
Your agenda was gonna end up hurting my mother.
Leah my mother is dead, okay? It took everything in me to scatter her ashes in a place that broke her heart.
Your mother's alive and well.
I hope you're grateful for that.
Anyway [SIGHS.]
I get it now.
No matter how hard I push, I cannot find answers 'cause you are gonna block me.
So just stop pretending that you care about me, that the sisterhood is real.
Go.
Tell your father we have a deal.
I'll leave the Bluffs for good.
I'll take his seed money.
Oh, what, you gonna act like you didn't know? - I didn't.
- Well, you do now.
As for you and me, I don't see a reason for us to see each other again.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES.]
[SIGHS.]
Her name is Patricia Vaughn.
She went in last night.
I just need to know that she's okay.
- [DOOR OPENS.]
- Yes, I'll hold.
- Maybe we should just go down there.
- I wanted to, but Teddy [GASPS.]
Piggy! Oh.
Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm just tired.
I guess you can't say Teddy doesn't hold up his end of the bargain.
What is that supposed to mean? I asked him to pull some strings.
He didn't pull crap.
This whole time, I've been in a room with two detectives confessing my heart out.
But when you walk in off the street and admit to a murder from 30-plus years ago, that ain't enough for an arrest.
They let me go pending an investigation.
Until they find Darius' body, I'm a free woman.
Waiting for a shoe like that to drop doesn't sound very "free," Piggy.
Oh, it does to me, baby girl.
I prayed on this, and my heart is right.
My burden has been lifted.
Now, you said "bargain.
" What did that snake Teddy ask you to do? He said he would help only if I agreed to leave the island for good.
And what about finding out what happened to your mama? Look, Piggy, I don't know what's gonna come of this investigation.
I just wanted to make sure that we had all of Teddy's connections at our disposal.
I want you to listen to me.
Now, I'm not gonna let you give up clearing your mama's name to protect me.
I will serve my time.
And all we need to do now is enjoy our time together while we have it.
Oh, come on, now.
Ain't nothing to cry about but taxes.
[CHUCKLES.]
Now, we're gonna celebrate.
And I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna give myself a grand throw-down barbecue with all our old friends before I go away, okay? And all I want you two to do is smile, dance, and maybe get a little faded.
Not you, baby girl.
Well, we Vaughn women do know how to throw down.
Mm-hmm, yes, we do.
I say let's do it today, alright? Let's give me the best "farewell" ever.
Alright.
So, everybody thought we were gonna do the waltz, but we had something else planned.
We even got the DJ involved.
QUINCY: Grandma, they were not ready.
I'm telling you.
ROSE: Oh, look at that! That was you upside down.
- That was me.
- You kids are so clever.
What do you think you'd have done if you were there? I probably would have fainted.
You would have loved it.
JACKIE: Here you go.
Thank you, Jackie.
Patrick, take her luggage upstairs.
LEAH: Well, you have to see Olivia's reaction.
She almost fell off the podium.
LAUREN: That may have been the best part of the whole thing.
- QUINCY: So mad.
- Oh, Daddy! Why don't you come on in and give your wife a hug? - Hi, Granddaddy.
- Hey, Grandpa.
- How's it going, Lauren? - Good.
How are you? I'm alright.
Thought I would come home and help Leah - prep for the Grand Illumination week.
- Hmm.
You know how special that night is to me.
Yeah, I know.
Uh, Leah, can I, um Yeah.
So, we started it in, like, two rows, right? - And I - Why is your mother here? She called and said she wanted to be a part of the Grand Illumination festivities.
Her doctors signed off.
She's taking her meds.
And look at her.
I mean, she hasn't been this lucid or energetic in a really long time.
You should have consulted with me first.
Why? You didn't consult with me before offering Angela a deal.
And she's taking it, by the way.
Then we're almost finished.
- Just like that? - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, well, I'm having a harder time with it.
When you told me to torpedo her Graceties membership, you destroyed any hope of us becoming real sisters.
We all have to make sacrifices to protect the family.
Right.
And what are your sacrifices? I'm losing a daughter again.
That you're pushing out.
You know, Raymond accused you of keeping me fat and happy to control me.
Is that what you think? I'm protecting your mother.
But you could hardly hug her or greet her.
I mean, if this is all about protecting Mommy, then she can stay in this house, her home, for as long as she wants, and I'm gonna be there for her.
Ruining my relationship with Angela has got to be worth something, right, Daddy? RAYMOND: And this morning, Teddy had no choice but to watch those shares come right back to me.
The first of many battles won.
Well played.
How are things on your end? Well, you know how you said you and Leah are locked out of the Our Legacy files? Thanks to my new gig designing the skyboxes for Teddy, IT has hooked me up with the login and password for Franklin Holdings.
I think I can back-door it, get in, and see what he's been hiding.
And I can get my company back and my wife free and I It's scary how he has her played.
She doesn't see it, but I'm gonna show her who he really is.
Hey, you gotta fight for the woman you love.
Speaking of which, you and Angela You guys got something going, right? Yeah.
I might've messed that up.
And now she's got her ex hanging around, so Wait, you talking about her baby's father - that lives with her? - Yeah.
That's more than hanging around.
Alright, alright, I'm I'm getting back in the fight.
I just hate to take down a brother that just got home, but You can't win if you don't battle.
To winning the battle and the war.
Lord, forgive me For the things that I'm doin' You're lookin' for, you're lookin' for that money You're not like these other girls.
Are you using lines on me now? No.
I'm serious.
Look, I don't know why I waste my time with these bougie princesses when you're real.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
So, Mariah Treadwell's bag was stolen from her Beach Party.
Um, and it's oxblood red, so it's, like, super rare.
Seen it? So the maid's granddaughter must've taken it? - Way to be basic.
- Not as basic as gold-digging.
Lo, relax.
I've been watching this girl for a week, and she is on you like it's her damn job.
So what? Is this your summer job, Sloane? My brother? You know, you should be more like your friend Taylor.
I like her.
She's nice.
Oh, and by the way, tell her I love those kicks she was wearing.
Does Nikki know y'all have been kicking it? Have you been spying on us? I was cleaning the upstairs hallway when you walked her out.
Of course you didn't notice.
I mean, the help is invisible to girls like you.
Q doesn't know your business.
But I suggest you stay out of mine.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Ah, Brooks.
I need your services.
You're the best investigator I know.
My son-in-law is trying to acquire some shares as a result of the demise of his business partner with whom I struck a deal for those same shares.
The contract mysteriously disappeared.
I would like you to look into Jack Harmon's death, which has been ruled as accidental.
Find something that would force the police to re-open the case.
Pay close attention to the actions of my son-in-law.
I don't trust him.
If I can get Jack's death ruled as suspicious, it will stall the transfer of Jack's shares to Raymond.
I'm on it, Boss.
Excellent.
Oh, and and one more thing.
I promised to help Patricia Vaughn.
So I need something delivered to Eve's Crown.
Thank you.
Checkmate.
So, this is the dress that you were inducted in? ROSE: Mm-hmm.
It is exquisite.
[CHUCKLES.]
I mean, what do you think? I mean, probably have to drop the hem a little bit, right? Mm, wear it and all eyes will be on you, as they should, Madame President.
You are about to usher women into a beautiful sisterhood.
Leah, is something wrong? Um, Ashley, will you give us a minute, please? There is one sister who should be there My sister, Angela Vaughn.
And, Mommy, I'm sorry.
I know that name brings up painful memories for you, but now Daddy wants her gone to protect the family.
And I don't even know what that means.
Can you tell me why? Your father and I have so many secrets.
And I'm sorry if our past is making our present that much harder.
I've always made your life that much harder.
And that's why I called to come home before the ball, to be here with you for your big day To tell you that I love you, my beautiful baby girl.
I want to have a good memory with you even if it's just this one.
There are gonna be plenty more, Mommy.
I promise.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS, INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
You was right.
You was right.
We needed this.
Go big and then take my ass to the big house.

You need to mind your business.
[CHUCKLES.]
Listen, if I don't mind your business, I don't know who will.
Now, I know that you two got work to do, but don't forget that I was there when you first met.
And I saw how you looked at each other.
That kind of kismet is so rare, so beautiful.
Black love and all that good stuff.
Put your right foot to the back I, um I do feel responsible for getting in the way of all that.
I mean, if I had just come clean earlier and given you the closure that you needed, Tyrique, maybe there wouldn't be so much distance between you two.
Yeah, well, don't feel that way.
I take responsibility for the missteps me and Angela have.
Just hope it's not too late.
Alright, make the earth quake, people! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]

Darius? Hello, Patricia.
PIGGY: 30-plus years, and you let me think you were dead.
That's what we wanted you to believe.
- Who's we? - Me and Teddy Franklin.
After you stabbed me, I passed out Partly from the blood loss, partly from all the drugs I had in my system.
When I woke up, Teddy was there.
Eve said her boss could help me.
And he knew how much Eve wanted you to get clean, so I guess he figured the best way to do that was to have you think that I was dead.
I guess the bastard was right.
Because the guilt that I carried around after that night is what finally drove me to N.
A.
Why are you here now? Someone from Teddy's camp reached out, said that Patricia turned herself in for my murder, and that I should get down to the police station myself and clear this up.
Then after that, I was supposed to come here so you could see me with your own eyes.
I can still barely believe it.
And our last night together, I was at my worst.
High outta my mind on them drugs.
Laying hands on the woman I loved.
When you stabbed me, that should've ended it for me.
Instead, it gave me a new beginning, helped me put my life back on track.
So I sincerely hope that, after today, you get a new beginning, too.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh, oh, Lord.
Thank you for setting me free.
And, I guess, I thank you, Teddy Franklin.
Why are you so rude? - What? - Lo, I like her.
- So you need to fall back.
- [LAUGHS.]
Okay.
Q, I'm your twin.
I know you better than other people do.
Sloane's not it.
That girl threatened me.
You act like you own me, Lo, like you get a say in what I do.
You don't.
Anytime I get something for me, you Y-you see it as a threat a-and you try to blow it up 'cause you're selfish and you're controlling.
And I'm getting sick of it.
You know what? I was trying to be nice about the whole Sloane thing, but here are the facts.
The only reason you like Sloane is because she's poor, which, honestly, I-I don't get that.
But you are going to drop her like you drop everything else in your life.
I would be surprised if this relationship lasted more than two weeks, tops.
I feel bad for Sloane 'cause that girl doesn't even know what's coming to her.
There's something wrong with you.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[CHIME.]
Oh.
Excuse me, milady.
Can I have this dance? Rules are made to be broken Baby I'm breakin' all my rules For you I apologize for my coldness towards you earlier.
Now you just hush.
This piece was playing during our first waltz at the Grand Illumination Ball in 1984.
I remember.
Now my mother And this is a hard time of year for me.
Of course it is.
For me as well.
To make sure they're strong But you mustn't give in I know, I know, I know I'm so sorry.
I destroyed our family, and I am doing everything I can to make up for it.
I know.
Rules are made to be broken Just dance with me.
Baby I'm breakin' all my rules For you I know there are certain things to wait Till after we're married I know there are certain things That girls aren't supposed to do But I forget about the right - LEAH: Mommy? - And givin' all my heart to you It's time for the Graceties brunch.
- Are you ready? - [Chuckles.]
To be broken Wow.
You're really just lounging? Yeah, I think we both know better than to keep Olivia waiting.
Yeah Did you not even make it into bed last night? To be opened, baby Mommy.
Door to my heart is open For you - Mommy? [GASPS.]
- Baby, baby, baby Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy! [SOBS.]
Sugar, sugar, sugar Mommy, wake up! Oh, my God! Oh, yeah Rules are made to be broken Baby I'm breakin' every rule - [Gasps.]

But I have to help set up the reception with my grandma.
QUINCY: Yeah, I know.
Thank you for being so sweet about this.
Of course.
Whatever you need, I'm here for you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Um Sloane, can I get a second with my brother, please? Sloane, you don't have to go anywhere.
Q, it's our grandmother's funeral.
The car's outside.
I-I brought your jacket.
I got it.
I'm proud of you.
Standing up for yourself.
For us.
I'll see you after, okay? DARIUS: Hey, Trish.
Thanks for meeting me on such short notice.
Hey, of course.
What's so important? [SIGHS.]
Why are you so nervous? I'm just a little shook.
Coming back here makes me think about all the bad things I've done.
Things I blocked out for decades.
But I swear, Piggy.
I've changed.
I'm a deacon at my church now.
I volunteer four times a week down at the shelter, and I am not taking this second chance for granted.
I see you.
And I believe you.
Teddy Franklin gave me another life.
Thing is, he never let me forget about it.
Through the years, my phone would ring, and it would be him wanting a favor.
To say no would risk losing everything.
So Careful.
Careful.
What are you trying to pull me into? Teddy showed up on my doorstep one night, back in '84.
He was about to join some fancy rich people club up on the Bluffs, and so he was dressed to the nines, you know, formal wear.
His wife, too.
She was a hot mess.
Looked like she had seen a ghost.
She kept mumbling something about Eve.
And before I could say anything, Teddy shoves this gun at me and says, "Get rid of it.
" Then he was gone.
And I don't know why I held onto the gun so long.
I guess I thought it might serve as some sort of leverage.
But I never heard from Teddy again.
Till the other day, which brought me to you.
What do you expect me to do with this thing? I'm not sure, but it might help 'cause, from what I hear, he's got something on your niece.
Then I was thinking, you couldn't fight him before, but now you can.
Besides, I owe you.
Look, I got to go.
I got to say, you look as beautiful as the day we first met.
And I still dream about that magnificent ass.
[CHUCKLES.]
There's the old Darius.
You take good care of yourself, okay? You too.
NIKKI: You're not ready? Mom, at the end of the day, Leah's still your sister.
In blood, not bond.
That's not true.
I see you both.
She may have broke your heart, but maybe you broke hers a little, too.
Remember Mama Eve's funeral and that mailman she always used to fight with came? [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Those two hated each other.
They hated each other.
But when he hugged me and he told me, "I'm sorry for your loss," it meant the world to me.
Now, good or bad she's still our family.
[SIGHS DEEPLY.]
ROSE: My darling, Leah.
I feel like my time has come.
Soon I will move to His house.
That's why I came home.
So I could hold your face and kiss it one last time.
These last hours spent together have been my happiest.
You should never look back at our relationship with any regret.
Any strife between me and your father had nothing to do with you.
My life has been filled with many blessings.
But the one I hold most precious is the wonderful gift your father gave me, and that's you, Leah.
And while the Bible says you should honor your parents Which you have done I leave you with this Do not live your life for your father.
You must get out from under his shadow.
If you don't, you will whither away.
And that's one thing about your daddy He needs all of the sun.
I'm ready.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES.]
Oh, hold on.
I'll be right behind you.
Okay.
Brooks.
I hope this is important.
BROOKS: I spoke with several ladies who were staying at the Beach Club a week before Jack Harmon died.
Now, they remember seeing him slip a woman a key to his bungalow.
These ladies all swear that woman was your daughter Leah Dupont.
Well, it was smart of you to call.
Obviously, keep this between us.
MINISTER: We're here today to mourn the passing of Sister Rose Franklin, a wife a mother a grandmother a dear friend.
But I am here today to remind you that death is not the end.
See, Sister Rose now has eternal life.
Like Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
" Forever and ever, amen.
TOGETHER: Amen.
Rose.
I prayed I would not live to see this day.
I tried to do right by you, but I'd be lying if I claimed to have executed that plan.
People who are loved never really die.
They live on through those they have touched.
Quincy, you have Rose's courage.
Lauren her fire.
Leah her unyielding strength.
I know that this shared grief will bring us even closer.
Rose, as I look at our beautiful family every day, I know that what we built together was not in vain.
So rest assured, Rose That your family will miss you dearly.
Olivia: As most of you know, Rose Franklin was my dearest friend.
And today our fellow Graceties are going to join me in singing a chorus from her sisters to wave her up to Heaven.
[PIANO PLAYS.]
Precious Lord Take My hand Lead Lead me on And let me stand Through the storm Through the storm All through the night Mm Ohh, ohh, ohh Take my hand [CHUCKLES.]
I know you thought you were weak.
But you were the strongest woman I've ever known.
I am so proud to be your daughter.
[SNIFFLES.]
You deserved so much more than you got from this life.
I will honor you for the rest of my days.
[SOBS.]
Ohh, ohh, ohh Take my hand Precious Lord Lead me home Mm, mm, mmm There's a certain cry at funerals.
It's a wail that comes from the gut.
With everything that's happened between me and Leah, I wouldn't wish that pain on anybody.
Whose gun is that? According to Darius, it's Teddy's.
He said Teddy gave it to him to hide the night that your mother was arrested.
What else did Darius say? I don't know any more, baby, and neither does Darius.
But the only reason that someone hides a gun is if it's used in a crime.
Oh.
Well, then we are gonna figure out exactly what my father did.
Oh, get ready, Teddy, 'cause I'm coming for you.
We're coming.
For Eve.
For Eve.
