Saints & Sinners (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Day of Reckoning - full transcript

Previously on Saints & Sinners:

Debra was seeing an older man.

Pastor Johnson...

I was wonderin', do you think
you could put me on?

I'm workin' on a deal that
everybody gon' have to respect.

City council just voted to
renew your contract.

But I had to reinstate those
crooked cops for this.

I saw her kissing another man!

Savannah, why would you do
this to my dress?

- That's for you.
- My first born.

I have another job for you.
Rebecca Jordan.



We can't cross state
lines unchecked without
those trash trucks.

Then get them.

Look familiar?

Thanks for staying open
after hours, Penny.

Mm. I don't know what we
would've done without you.

My pleasure. I'm so glad I was
able to alter it to your needs.

Yeah, it's gonna fit her like a
glove. Especially since you

- put your special touch on it.
- Well...

I mean she's gonna love it.
She has no other choice.

Oh, well. Do you need
help with it to the car?

- No, I-I got it. Thanks honey.
- Okay.

See you at the wedding.

- See you Ella, see you
Saturday.
- Alight, bye-bye.

[Scoffs]



[Sirens]

What's the problem officer,
I wasn't speeding.

[Cooper] Turn off the engine
and step out of the car.

Why?

Step out of the car please.

Face the vehicle.

- Wha-wha, what fo- what?
- Face the vehicle.

What are you doing?
Do you know who I am?

Everybody knows who you are.

Mayor Johnson.

- Cop buster.
- What are you talkin' about?

You don't want us
to make a living.

But you...

you drive around in
your fancy cars

buy all these fancy things.

I been watching you.

[Breathing Heavily]

You look nice.

Smell nice.

I bet it's been a long time
since you had a real man, huh?

Would you like that?

You're feisty, huh?

It's okay baby. I like it rough.

You see, you may be watching us

[Ella Sobs]

But we're watching you.

I can do whatever I
want to do to you.

Anytime I want to do it.

And there isn't a damn
thing you can do about it.

You remember that.

[Ella Sobs]

give God the praise

♪ Lost my faith in God

♪ I couldn't even pray

♪ So I say

♪ We're just sinners

♪ Saved by grace

[Reporter] I'm live at the
trash worker's strike.

It's day five, and no one in
Cypress has gotten service.

Meanwhile, instead of
dealing with the garbage
piling in the streets

Mayor Johnson is preparing
for her daughters wedding
this Saturday.

[Chanting Continues]

[Clarence] Ahh!

You been lyin' through
your teeth Clarence!

I told you everything!

Ugh!

You owe Rex more than
the gambling debt.

Is this how you treat
your partners?

You were supposed to protect me!

You're no different than Rex.

I knew I should've never
gotten into business with you.

Look man, I risked my
family's livelihood for this!

I can't go back now!

Ugh!

Now what was it Rex
had in those trucks?

Ugh!

Speak up Clarence, what was it?

Was it drugs?

Guns! It was guns!

He would take a
little off my debt

every time I let him run a
load across state lines.

Nobody ever searches
the trash trucks.

Now you gonna tell me
everything about the
transportation of these guns.

Or that garbage that's piling
up out there is gonna have
one big fat ass addition.

- Alight...
- Talk.

Make your move, Sweet Pea.

Anywhere you go, you gonna lose,
so just make any kinda move.

You can't beat me.
[Chuckles]

You ain't never gonna
learn this game, boy.

Sweet Pea, gimme a minute.

You got a problem?

Did you really think I
was't gonna find out

about your love child
with Mayor Johnson?

I'm wondering why
you didn't tell me.

Maybe you still have
feelings for her.

Y- you gotta be really close to
somebody to keep this type

of secret after all these years.

Maybe...

the big bad Rex is just
a soft little puppy.

What, you uh,

keepin' tabs on me?

No I'm keeping tabs on
her, which was your end.

Just like transpo.

I got my end. You ain't
gotta worry about what
I'm supposed to do.

Don't tell me what I don't
need to worry about.

You lost a step. Your
strike is taking too long.

I already got a plan
B in the works.

The guns will be delivered on
Saturday, like we agreed.

If you don't deliver...

and I lose my buyer...

the whole city of Cypress is
gonna know about your love
child with Mayor Johnson.

And when she falls
flat on her face

you gonna land right beside her.

- Mom-
- Oh!

Hey baby.

Well, it's almost your big day.

How do you feel?

I'm doing okay, I guess.

I just wish dad was here.

Yeah, I know.

And I know this isn't how you
pictured your big day...

but believe me, it's gonna be
the best day of your life.

Mom, there's just so much
up in the air right now.

And my dress?

Oh my sweet Christie.

Sweetie, the vows you're taking
tomorrow goes beyond a dress.

Marriage isn't just
between two people,

it's a commitment to
God and community.

A strength that has fortified
us for generations.

And as a wife

you stand by that
strength and you fight

for that strength 'til
death do you part.

It's something very special

that only you

and he shares.

And you can just feel it

in your soul.

Is Levi that person for you?

Yes.

Then you can walk down that
aisle in a brown paper bag.

[Laughing]

And you couldn't change that
the look in hi eyes when he

sees you coming toward him to
start your life together as one.

No dress can compare to that.

And we'll be there with you

every step of the way.

Your mother and I

have something we want
to share with you.

It's been in our family
for two generations.

[Chuckles]

I wore this

when I walked down that aisle

and married your father.

And I wore it when I
married your Grandfather.

Now you'll carry
on that tradition.

[Crying Softy]

I just thank you both so much.

I love you, thank you.

Thank you.

No one is happy about
the situation Elizabeth.

She's bein' destructive.

Well if you got a
better idea, plea-

you know what? I am not
about to argue with you.

It's the day before my
wedding and I got a
million things to do.

I gotta go.

We're here to look around,
it's about Debra Chase.

I don't know what
else I can tell you.

- This won't take long.
- Okay.

Do you know who's office
this was in 1998?

Back then this would have been
Pastor Johnson's office.
[Knocking]

There's the groom to be!

My man! Ty, you made it boy!

Hell yeah, man. I wouldn't
miss this for the world.

Hello.

Um, you're gonna have
to excuse my friend

- detective Alvarez.
- Oh, excuse me.

Hey, I just came to get you.
Our tee time's in an hour.

Go ahead, we're fine.

Okay.

Let's go.

Okay, so this might be
our murder scene.

According to the photo

the desk was here and
the rug was there.

Okay, so, Debra comes in

she and Pastor Johnson
are having an argument.

About what?

Well the diary said that he
was gonna leave his wife.

Maybe he changed his mind.

She'd be mad as hell.

And he'd try to sweet talk
her to calm her down

with more lies.

And she keeps yelling
louder and louder...

Things get our of hand.
But then what?

The wound was located on
the back of her head.

Well if he was
standing right here

he would've grabbed
something off the desk.

I think I got it.

Come on.

Look.

So Pastor Johnson was having
an affair with Debra.

And now he knows what
he used to kill her.

Too bad we can't make an arrest.

I'm sure the late Pastor is
paying for his crime in a

far worse place than prison.

That's not what I meant. I
think we're jumping the gun.

Excuse me?

We have more evidence in this
case than anything we've even-

I know.

He had motive, but did
he have opportunity?

Look I know that you have a
thing for the Johnson family

- I don't have "a thing".
- But it's pretty damn clear
that he killed her.

And Debra's grandma
deserves to know the truth.

I agree.

But the last thing
we need is to be

wrong in another murder.

Let's track the Pastors
movements

before we take it to
the Lieutenant.

So you're saying one of my
officers assaulted you?

Do you have any idea who it was?

Uh, he was shining his
flashlight in my face, so

I didn't get a good look, but

I think it was one of the
officers that got fired.

Anything specific you remember?

Just his breath on my neck.

And... pressing against my body.

I, I could only see his hands.

Any identifiable marks?

Jewelry, a wedding
ring, anything?

Um... he had on a watch I
think, but I mean he was...

it was so dark I really
couldn't tell, but

it was...

red, or

orange, I-I...

I mean I-I couldn't,
e- exactly remember.

That's some good info.

One last question.

With such a dangerous and rogue
cop, then why'd you rehire him?

Excuse me?

That has nothing
to do with this.

Oh I beg to differ.
The power he had to

pull you over was the
power you gave him.

- No!
- The same power he'll use on
his next victim.

- No!
- How many have to suffer for
your mistake?

No! Look, this is not my fault!

I was the victim!

Do you have any diea

what that feels like?

To have some man
I don't even know

to have his hands
all over my body?

He coulda had his way with
me and there was nothing

I could do about it. Nothing!

I'm very sorry for what
happened to you, Ella.

No one should ever be
made to feel like that.

Thank you.

So are you gonna help me?

Yes.

I'll have an officer come in
and write up the report.

No, no! No.

No I trust you. You
and only you.

Listen, I sympathize
with your plight.

But you need to
sympathize with mine.

I went to bat for you.

I don't know what to tell you.

well maybe you can start by

what you're not telling me.

Either we can tackle
this together...

or I walk.

Look, bro, I wasn't
expecting a strike

but check this out.

The move that I got planned,
it's gonna end that

and it's gonna put some
paper in our pockets.

I don't know man.

I mean the last time I
did a job with you

Lite ended up dead, I
ended up on lockdown,

and you was the only one
that came out of that
situation untouched.

I know, I know man. I know.

But look, this not like
the last time, okay?

Look I know exactly
where the guns are.

I know exactly what time they
movin'. And these guns?

Worth over a hundred stacks.

Listen man, I ain't tryin' to
go back no matter what.

And I'm just statin' facts.

I mean all them years
of doin' hard time

honestly, I'm just tired.

Hey babe. I'm on my way to pick
up Jada from Brandy's house.

Uh babe, come, come over here
and meet my boy Kendrick.

Me and him go way back babe.
Kendrick, this Paige. Paige,

- this Kendrick.
- Hi.
- Hey.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

Have I met you before?

Uh, I- I don't think so.

You seem familiar.

Yo Bari, you ain't tell me
you had this fine little
honey dip here man.

Baby, get outa here
before I have to beat
this man with a stick.

Okay. Love you.

- All right. Drive safe.
- Mm-hmm.

Mm!

Hey man, but on the real,
you got a good life here.

Yeah but you know,
it wasn't easy.

You know I knew I wasn't
gonna get what I want
bein' in Rex's shadow.

Hey man, to live like a boss

you gotta be a boss, you know?

To be a boss, you gotta boss up.
And I understand if you

tired or whatever, but...

just let me know
what you decide.

Boom! Twenty-five, baby.

Make sure you grab your
toothbrush and your things out
of the bathroom.

But I don't wanna go.

Goin' home is all you've been
talking about since you've
been here Savannah.

Now I'm finally giving you
what you want, ad you say
you don't want to go?

No, this is what you want!

You're choosing her over me?

That's enough, Savannah.

Your sad face and your tears
aren't going to work this time.

When I was your age, I would've
got an ass-whuppin' for what
you pulled.

But your mother and I think
it's best for you to go
back home for now.

That's what's best
for the situation.

No one was listening to me.

I had to do something
to get your attention.

You were raised
better than that.

So you're just gonna start a new
family and forget all about me?

You're supposed to be
there for me, too.

Honey... I-
[Knocking]

Uh, uh,

come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Sorry I'm late.

No, no... perfect timing.
Where you able to

situate her traveling?

Yes, I was able to get her a
seat on your parent's flight
back to New York.

You are a lifesaver, thank you.

Oh, no problem. Oh,

you gotta get going. You can't
be late for your own wedding.

I just need to pack
up the rest of this-

Oh, no, no, no. I can
finish it for you.

I'm, no it's fine, I'm-

Really it's okay. I don't mind.

I'll make sure all this is done.

Okay. Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Okay.

[Savannah Sniffles]

Don't be sad.

I know it hurts right now.

But one day you'll understand.

But he doesn't believe me.

He believes her.

I don't want her to be my
stepmom, Angela.

Neither do I.

Hey. How about we

take a picture with your new do?
Hmm?

Would that cheer you up?

Yeah. There we go.

'Cause this braid is beautiful.

Aww. Okay here, let
me get my phone.

Come on.

Yeah babe, it's just
like old times.

Matter of fact, you know what?
It's better than old times.

Tank is doin' his thing. We
sellin' out crowds everywhere.

By the way, did you get the
money I deposited, that
cover everything?

Yeah, yeah. And then some

I think your dad has a crush
on the new in-home nurse.

Yeah that's how pops gets down.

So where you headed to next?

Chi-town. Yup, be good to get
back to the hometown again.

And you might want to stop

while you're there. I know

Yeah, yes, maybe.

Um, look I gotta go. I gotta
go to sound check. I will

call you when I get back
to my phone, okay?

No, I'm not.

to get involved in grown
folks' business.

Please. Everybody knows
you are involved in
everybody's business.

You know what I'm sayin'.
[Chuckles]

You never know what's goin'

over again, right?

[Christie] Somebody get her

What is she talking about?

Tell everybody Christie.

Tell everybody!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You wanna tell him or shall I?

Te- wh-what, tell me what?
What is she talkin' about?

Baby, she's crazy.

Okay what is she talking about?

I'm talkin' about your fiancé.

She's still sleeping
with my husband.

Go ahead, ask her
who's baby it is.

Is it true?

Is this my baby,
or is it Miles'?

Answer me!

Levi...

Levi, please. Levi!

Excuse me.

People of Cypress,

in case you're wondering
what's going on out here

the Pastor's daughter, she
sleeps with married men, okay?

And gets pregnant! Alright.

Carry on.

I can't- I gotta get
out of here, I-

- Christie.
- I, I can't-

Get out of here!

So, she sleeps with married men,

[Tamara] she gets pregnant, and
then she tries to pass the baby
off as someone...

Get out of here now!

Gladly. 'Cause we
ain't finished.

[Tamara] Christie! What do
you think you're doing?

Get out of-

Oh my gosh, what are you doing?

- Get out of here!
- Get off me!

Get off me Tam!

No, no, no, no, no!
What are you doing?!

[Tires Squeal]

[Both Women Screaming]

[Heart Beating]

[Muffled Screaming]

No!

Oh, Lord!

Oh, no! No! Christie!

- Christie!
- Oh, no!

[Woman on PA] Dr. Travis,
you have a-

Tamara Calloway?

Tam. I got here as soon
as I can. Are you okay?

- Are you okay baby?
- I'm okay.

How's the baby?

There is no baby.

- What-what happened?
- You happened.

- What?
- Just can't keep it in your
pants, can you?

Hmm?

- Tam what are you say- I don't
know-
- I, I know, yeah.

You never know nothin'
about nothin'.

You know for seven years I
have gone through some of the

highest highs with you Miles.

And some of the lowest lows.

Tam baby listen, I know
we've been through a lot,
but we can continue-

You. You promised me
when we got married

that all the running around
would stop, that all the

lies would stop, the late
nights. You looked me in my eyes

and you told me that things
were gonna be different.

You said you were ready
for one woman. For me.

But you know what? You have
not changed, you know that?

You are still the selfish,

pitiful, wannabe musician
I met ten years ago

chasing a dream your
daddy put in your head.

And you're never gonna get
there. You wanna know why?

You are talentless.

[Chuckles]

You are a loser.

You- you are the definition
of a one-hit-wonder.

- Yeah.
- Tam-

Da, no, don't, don't, don't,
don't. Your cheatin' ass don't
get to say nothin'.

you just get to listen.

That's right.

I know you were with Christie
at the Tank concert.

Look at you.

Just pitiful.

[Chuckles]

And I was in love with you.

- Tam-
- I told you to shut up!

Can't do that right either, huh?

I wanted to have your baby.

I wanted us to be a family,
and see, I let that cloud
who I knew you

really where.

Look at me.

Look at me!

I don't want you anymore.

I am...

finally free from you Miles.
I can sit here

with clarity and say I never

NEVER want to see you again.

- No, I'm not-
- Get out!

Miles?

Who are you?

I'm a friend of Christie's.

I need to see her.

No. Don't you think
you've done enough?

Is she okay?

No.

But you're not going
to change that.

She lost the baby.

What's this?

Read it. It's right there.

Pastor Johnson was en route
to Philadelphia at the time
his son was killed.

Returned to Cypress as
soon as he got the news?

You sure about this, Noah?

Airline records.

There was a revival in Philly he
was scheduled to speak at.

He wasn't even in town.

Look, I know it's
still raw, but...

at least you know now.

You know I do my
best not to do dirt.

Have integrity, be honest.

For what?

you know it seems like
everybody in my life is only

out for themselves.

And they all end
up happy as hell.

See? Now...

So damn happy.

- Calm down, man.
- I am calm!

Bartender!

[Clears Throat]

Look man, he's comin' bro.
Just, just wait a minute.

What's the problem?

Sittin' on the damn sideline
my whole life waitin' for life
to happen to me.

I ain't waitin' no more.

Everybody in my life
is gettin' theirs.

It's about damn time I
start gettin' mine, too.

Man, you startin' to
worry me Levi.

You're not sounding
like yourself.

You don' get it, do you?

That's the whole point, Ty.

Alright, alright, alright.

- That's enough, man.
- Nah...

I'm just gettin' started.

Ah!

[Hawkins] Twenty two
guns smuggled out of
evidence storage.

Without anybody noticing.

A dimwit like you doesn't
have the brainpower to
pull off a job that big.

Maybe I'm smarter than I look.

If you were, you'd know
the right play here.

Gun trafficking is a felony.

Your buddies can't help you.

Not where you're going.

You're better off
helping yourself.

Oops.
[Chuckles]

You're a disgrace, Coop.

You give the uniform a bad name.

Don't you dare talk
like you're one of us.

I paid my dues just like
everyone else on the force.

Yet you turn your
back on your own?

We're out there on the
front lines every day

while you're out there
frolicking with the Mayor.

I would die for my
brothers in blue.

What makes you think I
would rat them out to a
snitch bitch like you?

Um...

Sorry to interrupt but,
St. Charles really needs
to have a word.

I'll give you a minute to
think about how you're
gonna get out of this.

Alvarez will keep you
company while I'm gone.

Even walk like a man. Hmm.

Got yourself into a little
trouble, did you?

Nothing I can't handle.

Good.

Because Rebecca

wouldn't be too happy
if you sold her out.

If she goes down, we all do.

So keep your mouth shut.

It's a shame, isn't it?

We never got a chance
to take care of him.

Never had a chance
to protect him.

But now we do.

We have to. Rebecca is
coming for us, Ella Mae.

She knows about Kendrick.

We have to strike first.

On the next Saints & Sinners:

Come on in.

What's Rex Fisher doing
in our living room?

Don't you want to see
her behind bars?

Either kill or be killed.

And I'm gonna go after
everybody that you love.

Levi, don't do anything
you'll regret later.

This ain't over!
