Sanctuary

1
You ever think about the old days?
I changed my life so I wouldn't have
to look over my shoulder anymore.
And you will always have
a safe space wherever I am.
DOUCET: We're looking into
a robbery that happened
yesterday at a law firm.
One of their lawyers went missing, too.
Supposed to pick up a
package from my boss.
[BOTH GRUNT]
So it was you.
The man you're crossing
won't take kindly
to being cut out of the equation.

Hey, Gray, you're going to make
it back in time to see Covington?
We're done with the
showings, and I thought
we could all ride together.
Okay. Will you call
me back, please? Okay.
What's wrong?
Um, that was even
grosser than I expected.
Which bit?
Our lives being picked over like
we're in the produce section?
Or the way she kept
calling her husband Daddy?
[SCOFFS]
Don't worry. We won't be
here for the next showings.
Have you heard from your father?
No.
Do we even have to
sell the house anymore?
[SIGHS]
Sweetheart, we talked about this.
Okay?
I know, but pretty sure
Dad figured out the money situation.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I mean, I think he
brought on a new client.
I saw him sneaking away to take
a phone call before he left.
So
But he didn't say anything to you?
No, but he's been very busy.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Hi.
So we are all done downstairs.
They love the place. And they're flush.
I wouldn't be surprised if
they came back over asking.
Do we have an ETA on Gracián?
Our slot's at 6:00.
I think he's on his way.
Thanks.
[GASPS]
We need to get you some help.
Cops will be all over this place soon.
- Okay.
- [GROANS]
- Stop, stop, stop.
- No, no. Come on. Come on.
Alright. Take a deep breath, okay?
Just lean up. Just lean up.
[PANTING]
Papa, Papa.
[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
Papa, who are those people?
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Keep your voice down.
Please, keep your voice down.
We're being hunted, son.
Look, we need to find a
phone. Get to your brother.
- You understand me?
- No, no, no calls.
No calls.
Not until I find out who's behind this.
We don't get you to a doctor,
you're going to bleed out.
I'll be fine. Let's go.
- Shh, shh, shh.
- [HELICOPTER CHUFFING]
Hear that? You hear that?
Okay. Come on. Come
on. Come on. Wait, wait.
Once they pass over.
[HELICOPTER PASSES OVERHEAD]
Get the other side, help me out.
- Come on.
- [GROANS]
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
[SIREN WAILING, BELL TOLLING]
I know a place.
Come on, now.
[GRUNTS]
Oh, no, no, no. I mean, I
understand you perfectly,
but I think what you fail to grasp
is that all those other
staffing arrangements
you relied on are gone.
I mean, our firm is your future.
And Mr. Beal's. We can provide
you up to 500 employees,
all English speaking,
and with valid H-2B visas.
You're most welcome to look elsewhere,
but we won't be so
accommodating in the future.
Yeah? Okay. Great.
Shepherd, I've got
great news on the casino.
The Big Livings,
The Sharp Ends, right?
Young Runners.
All of Cape Town, all of
those street punks run product
for me, for the Tongai.
You want to know why?
Shepherd? Where is he?
Uh, he left.
So why is he still here?
- Boss had to stay behind.
- [POUNDS TABLE]
Nyarara!
The Horse decided the driver
was protection enough for him.
I saw no sense in arguing.
Oh, today of all days?
You're supposed to be
his head of security.
And he's a grown man. He
can make his own decisions.
- You call him. He'll tell you the same.
- I have.
Several times.
Luke, too.
Luke is with him?
Do you know anything?
[LINE RINGING]
I'll gather a team.
You had one responsibility.
- Where the hell are you going?
- To clean up your mess.
[GROANS]
Come on, sister. Come on, sister.
[GROANS]
ANNE: Hold on.
Gray?
Are you hurt?
[GROANS]
It's not his blood.
- I'm sorry.
- No.
- Take him, please.
- Come on. It's okay.
I know. I know. Keep
your legs in the air.
Yeah. He's hurt bad, Anne.
Grab his leg.
- [GROANS]
- Shh! Keep quiet.
Shh, quiet!
This is the last place I wanted to be.
I don't want to know. I don't want to.
He's gonna bleed out on us, Anne.
I can see that. Okay?
But what I don't see is you
getting him to a hospital.
Gray, listen to me.
You're not hearing me.
- If there has been a crime
- Who said anything about crime?
- You didn't
- I sure as shit know
what this is, and I know who you are.
You said she would help us.
She will help us, okay? She'll help us.
No, I did a year of
nursing school, alright?
That exit wound needs a trauma surgeon.
- That ain't gonna happen.
- No hospitals.
- No hospitals.
- Okay.
No hospitals. No hospitals. Okay?
Let me look at this.
Let me look at this.
Please!
Anne, please, come on
now. Where the bandages

Hey, Sarah. Sarah, hey.
Jesus Christ, Colin.
Hey, Sarah.
I, uh I brought you carnations.
- You shouldn't be here, man.
- Can we just talk? Please?
I got the boat, Sarah. And the money.
We can finally get out of here,
just like we always talked about.
Colin, it's inappropriate
for you to be here.
You know what's not appropriate, Craig?
It's my own brother doing me like this.
Colin.
Wow.
I'm sorry.
[PANTING]
- Bullet went through?
- Yeah.
And that's good news?
Yeah, it's better than
having me fish around
for it with my fingers.
- Just put your hand there.
- There you go.
- Can you feel this?
- [GRUNTS]
Okay. Easy, easy. Come on. Just breathe.
You just breathe. Just breathe.
Yeah. Okay. I know it hurts.
You got anything for the pain?
I'm sure one of the
other nuns has some oxy.
No. Hey, hey, hey. No one goes anywhere.
Is Baba gonna die?
Listen to me.
You pray for him. You do that for me.
You pray for him. Okay?
The Tongais?
I thought you weren't
about that life anymore.
- I'm not. It's a big mistake.
- Yeah.
I'm just trying to get through it.
I have worked hard to
put this noise behind me.
And now you've gone and
you've brought it back.
Anne, I didn't mean to
bring this to your door.
Stop.
Now I can pack the wound. I can sew it.
But if the bullet
ripped through an organ,
if it nicked a major vessel, he is
I understand. I understand.
- [GROANS]
- No, no, you got to stay.
No. Stay down.
You got to stay down.
Listen to me. Listen to me!
- Can we call your brother or your sister?
- No, no calls.
No, no. If we stay here,
you're going to bleed out.
You need some real help.
Otherwise, you're going to die.
Alright? Is there anybody you can trust?
Baba, why aren't you listening to him?
Call Auntie Shamiso. Call
Uncle Zen. Call somebody!
Get off, Luke!
- Luke!
- No, no.
- Okay, go.
- Anne, Anne.
Go. Just lie down.
I've got you. Lie down.
Lie down.
Lie down.
You're okay.
You scared me.
I know what you heard.
But your father, he's in good hands.
I'm scared.
I'm scared, too.
You don't look like it.
Sit down.
You know, I learned this trick.
For days like this.
I'll stop.
Close my eyes.
Take four deep breaths.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Like this.
How about you try with me?
Close your eyes.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
LUKE: I wish my mom was here.
We used to play together
every night before bed.
Well, why don't you and me do that now?
Come on.
[MATCH STRIKES]
[BLOWS]
Our father, who art in
Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power
and the glory.
Forever.
Amen.
Here.
Drink.
Now rest.
[GROANS]
He must trust you.
Bringing us here.
You've done God's work today, sister.
I'm grateful.
Whatever it is that you
have Gray twisted up in,
it's best you understand
I did this for him.
And that scared little
boy who has no idea
how he ended up in this mess.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
Give me your hand.
Are you related,
you and Gray?
Might as well be.
Gray became family the night
he tied my ex to his Challenger.
He threatened to drag his ass
all over every street in the 10th Ward
if he ever laid hands on me again.
And I lost a baby that night.
But I gained a brother.
I'm not stupid, you know?
I know my dad does bad things.
I just
never thought he was a bad guy.
Your father does what
he thinks is best for you
with what he's got, and
even then, sometimes,
it's not enough.
It's the intention behind it
that matters.
I promise you this.
He loves you.

[GLASS SHATTERING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
How we get here, Wyatt?
Which "here" are you referring to?
To this this moment in history.
And the planet is a product of chaos
and celestial indifference,
but also opportunity, innovation.
The difference between the two
usually comes down to a simple decision.
The cops were closing
in, and we were exposed.
And by the time we regrouped,
the driver carried him off.
Simple decision.
You know I'll make it right.
Mm.
Yeah, I got a lot of account holders
who need this situation
to be resolved, so yeah.
Yeah. Make it right.
[GRUNTS]
[DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
- We need to talk.
- What the hell?
Haven't you people
ever heard of a phone?
- Wrong answer.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Ah!
[GASPING]
I don't understand.
I I did everything you
asked. I did everything.
And then you revealed the
details of our arrangement
and told Anton our plans for the casino.
What? Why would I do that?
[GASPS]
[COUGHING]
Where is my brother?
Does Anton have him?
I don't know Anton like that.
Yeah, I use his workers.
I count my stack.
I swear that's it.
This is taking too long.
Christ, is that gasoline?
No! No!
Ah! Wait! God damn it!
[COUGHS]
The last time I was here, you told me
there was a way that
business is conducted
here in New Orleans.
Yeah.
Gentleman's agreement,
I believe you said.
- Don't.
- Interesting word,
"gentlemen."
Because where I come from [COUGHS]
we have a different
word for men like you.
Impimpi. Are you an impimpi?
- I don't know what you're saying.
- Are you a snitch?
Yes or no?
Please don't. I I'll tell you
everything you want to know.
I'll do anything.
Bring me his phone.
Be grateful it was me who came here.
Not my brother.
[SIREN WAILING]
Found these in the vehicle.
The car was shot to hell.
And so far, no bodies.
Lousteau confirmed that
Anton made a move on Shepherd.
They may still have them. And Luke.
Our friend with a badge says Anton's men
are still looking, circling
the city, just like us.
If we had done things my way,
we would have taken out Anton years ago.
Oh, come on. You can lay
blame at Shepherd's feet
when he's home, okay?
There's still this other matter
neither one of us wants to address.
If Horse is still alive,
then why hasn't he
reached out to any of us?
I've got nothing to hide.
Neither do I.
But I can think of someone who might.

I called Colin. He's on his way.
What?
Colin is the most likely
impimpi of them all.
Colin could have dropped
a dime on me at any point.
Saved his own ass.
Instead, he did 17 years.
Now I trust him enough for both of us.
We stay here, they'll find us.
You want to protect Luke?
Stop putting him in the cross hairs
and start trusting me.
You don't know what's best for my son.
I don't pretend to know
what's best for your son.
Sister Catherine.
The congregants saw a boy in the chapel.
What's going on?
They came to me in need.
I couldn't turn them away.
Is that a gunshot wound?
We were ambushed by men with guns.
I'll call the police.
That's not necessary.
I called them already.
They're on their way
over to take a statement,
transfer him to Touro.
They should be here any minute.
Sister Anne. A word?
Yeah. Yeah.
You need to just stay
calm. Just stay calm.
Just put the gun away, alright?
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
That man said that they
were waiting for the police,
but the police were just here.
Sister Anne, there was a
shooting at the cemetery.
They're looking for suspects.
We need to call them back.
If you do that,
you'll be putting yourselves
and everyone else in danger.
Someone's coming to get us.
We'll be out of your way soon.
She saved that man's life tonight.
Please let us go in peace.
I don't know what to tell you, Rose.
Zelda saw him here this morning,
but he hasn't been here since.
If you find him, let him know
I have a stack of invoices
that need his signature.
Are you sure he hasn't called in?
Be honest, he has been M.I.A. all week.
Yeah.
Hey.
Have you guys brought
in any new money lately?
A new corporate account or something?
I wish. Why?
I just got the impression that
things were picking up around here.
Look, anything you
need to know, ask him.
I don't want to get in between.
Yeah.
It's good to see you.
Mak, I'm just going to go upstairs.
- Okay.
- Okay. Be right back.

- When did this happen?
- Earlier today.
We're still gathering details.
Details?
You should be looking for

We have several teams out

I can't believe this.
The shooting happened on Washington Ave.
Yes, ma'am.
Come on. We're going to look for him.

Wait. Gray, don't leave us.

Lying in the graveyard today
was the most peace I felt
in a long time.
Looking up at the sky,
it reminded me of when
I was tortured and left
for dead by Mugabe's thugs.
There I was, in the bush,
calling out for my father.
Then I heard a helicopter.
Just like the one today.
Your Sekuru son had sent it.
He was a hard man, powerful man.
Yeah.
And I was
as hopeless back then as I was today.

petty. Whatever. Sue me.
You alright?
Was it you?
Was it me what?
Was it you who set us up to get hit?
Gray Give it to me straight, Col.
They were all over us.
They knew what car we'd be
in. They knew our timing.
Someone helped them track us.
You think it was me?
Seriously?
I'm tired of proving
myself to you, Gray.
I've had a lifetime of it, so I am sorry
that I'm never going to be
the guy you want me to be,
that I'm always gonna be the screwup.
But you ain't got to worry
about me much longer, man.
Once this shit blows over, I am out.
I'm off to Cuba alone.
