05x06 - The Sixth Day

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Greenleaf"...

We were just discussing your post-release

care options with Dr. Sanh.

And I want to go home with him.

You have to get him in to see
someone. He needs medicine.

I know.

What does Edenveil Lending do?

Whatever it is, Bob doesn't
want us to find out.

He got Darius fired
just for working on the story.

Bob knows people at the papers?

They're endorsing his upcoming
run in the Senate Race.

The reason you can't find
Marcus Demars is

he doesn't exist.

So, what, is there an alias or...

Yusef Shabazz.

Your wife previously worked for a company

called Edenveil Lending.

Come on. Let's set a date.

We already talked about this.

Do you not remember?

We are getting divorced.

That's why we wanted to sit you down.

Can I go?

Don't you let Winkie grow
one inch away from you.

You are his one and only father.

Look, Miss Greenleaf,

that house could be a shelter
for women and kids

living out here on the streets.

I think we have to give her the house.

Because she says so?

I think because Jesus said so.

Told you, Tara... These Greenleafs,

hm, just can't get rid of 'em.

♪

No, no, no.

Did it ever occur to you
to call the people she swindled

and alert them to this freak of nature?

James, you have to go.

Well, that's what I call it
when I see two unrelated species

coupling shamefully in the shadows.

Your physical is in minutes,
and the doctor fit you in.

Well, if the FBI is so proud

to be in bed with the likes
of Rochelle Cross,

why isn't it public knowledge?

Mom, who is he talking to?

Agent Dulles from the FBI.

Wait, the one who oversaw

the embezzlement case with Jacob?

Yes, we're trying to get some clarity

as to how Rochelle has been
zipping around Memphis

like she's got the key to the city.

No, no, no, no, no.
Thank you for nothing.

- [SIGHS]
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS]

What did they say, Daddy?

Just that Rochelle Cross is
no longer a person of interest.

James, if you are going to make it

to the doctor's, you have to leave now.

Mae, please, let it go.

There's a woman out there
who wants me dead,

roaming the streets.

Now, getting a physical
is no longer a priority.

Would you please make sure
that he gets to the doctor?

His appointment is at : ,
and I have Tara coming over.

Tara James is coming over here?

Well, she insists that
she didn't know anything

about Rochelle coming back,

and she just wants
a chance to convince me.

Why does she care what you think?

She wants this house, of course.

Um, she's worried that the revelation

of Rochelle's involvement

will put an end to all that,
which it should.

The woman deserves a fair hearing, James.

Not from me, she doesn't.

Look, goodbye to the both of you.

You are going to your doctor, aren't you?

No.

I am going to the club

where I'm going to meet
with the city inspector.

Now you and Tara can sift through
the mud of the past all you want.

I am looking to the future.

Why is he going to the doctor?

Well, now he isn't, is he?

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Mom, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

Hello?

Grace, it's Darius.

Hey. Where are you?

At home. I just got in.

What's this number?

It's a new phone.

Somebody broke into
my hotel room in Vegas

and stole my phone and my laptop.

And Bob Whitmore really does
not want the story on Edenveil

to get out.

Hey, do you still have
those e-mails saved,

the ones with the photos of the
escrow files from kerr county?

Uh, I think so.

Excuse me, mama.

Yeah, let me... just give me
a second. Let me look.

[FOOTSTEPS DEPART]

Okay, I have it right here.
Where do you want me to send it?

Is Winkie all ready to go?

Yeah. Uh, why is he wearing a tie?

I don't know. It was his idea.

Does he know where we're going?

[SIGHS] Well, obviously
not in great detail.

And just so we're on the same page,

this meeting is not in arbitration,

we're just letting Winkie know.

I know that.

So I don't want to argue about custody

- with him sitting right there.
- Neither do I.

I deserve shared custody, though.

You're not going to get it.

Hey, look at my handsome little man.

[DOOR CLOSES]

So, all this comes from religion?

Well, the people in the church

like to see their leaders doing well.

[SCOFFS] Who told you that?

It sounds like one of those
things folks tell themselves,

has that ring.

Mr. Shabazz. Grace Greenleaf.

As-salaam alaikum, sister.
You're the one I hung up on.

Uh, it's all good.

I wasn't apologizing.

And you really are Phil's father.

- [LAUGHS]
- Are we ready to go?

Wait, now, this reporter friend of yours,

now, he knows
I'm not on the record, right?

I mean, I'm what
you call deep background.

I've explained the situation, yeah.

Alright.

Hey, Charity, nice work.

Thank you.

[DOOR OPENS]

Took you long enough.

Sorry. I was in the shower
when you texted.

- Mm-hmm.
- What do you need?

And are you okay with the whole...

- Uh, divorce thing?
- Yeah, sure, never been better.

I've just been working on my
audition for the new school.

Oh, I just needed
a little surgical zoom help

with the camera,
and I've marked where to zoom.

Uh...

You're auditioning for what year?

This year.

Look, if my parents
can't keep it together,

I'm not gonna stay
and prove myself to them.

And if there was ever a talent

worth extending

it's mine.

This is severely frustrating.

Yeah, sure.

What do you mean?

Your flight is ready for check-in?

Oh, yeah. New York.
That's where the new school is.

that isn't totally divorced.

- When are you going?
- Tomorrow night.

You can't get it either, right?
Come on, let me try.

[SIGHS]

So, where are you gonna stay?

Uh, I'm leaving that open.

I'll see how I feel
when I get there, you know?

Are you sure you're not

kind of freaking out about the divorce?

No.

Look, this divorce thing

has given me so much clarity, Soph.

That is their life, this is mine.

[SIGHS] I'm ready for my close up.

♪

[SIGHS]

From what I had been able to gather

right before they stole
all my files is this...

Bob Whitmore in the ' s
owned a mortgage company

called Edenveil Lending.

And anybody with an Internet
connection knows that,

so what else you got?

He sold second mortgages
to people who needed cash.

Then when they couldn't
make the balloon payment,

basically steal our houses.

Yeah, not just folks, though.

Well, all the loans I found
on the county records

were to individuals.

Yeah, but what kind of individuals?

Well, to be honest, I'd just got my hands

on the escrow files of Edenveil clients

right when my room was robbed.

And they deleted her copies.

Yeah.

So you never saw the pattern?

Who are they targeting, Mr. Shabazz?

Who do you think, Einstein?

Why do you think Bob Whitmore
is going out of his way

to look like a friend
to the black church?

They're targeting poor black families.

That's right.

And Phil's mother,

well, she was the friendly black
lady who arrived at the door.

- No.
- She made it sound like Edenveil

was black folks helping
black folks pay their bills

when it was really just
one greedy white man

bleeding everybody dry.

If he plans on running
for senate like y'all say,

it's no wonder he wants
this thing cleaned up.

Did Phil know about any of this?

No. No, this all happened
when he was real little.

Oh, thank God.

And as much as I hate me
some Bob Whitmore,

I never wanted him
to see his mama like that.

Mr. Shabazz, he needs to know.

We've gone this many years
without talking.

I'm not starting now.

Are you sure you don't
want to go on the record?

- It would really be helpful.
- Yeah.

I told you, my legal situation is such,

I'm just deep background.

But if you can come up
with one person on the record

to back me up,

I'll confirm.

- Mr. Shabazz.
- What?

Please.

He won't believe it coming just from me.

Please.

Hmm.

Especially when it comes

You do know this is an old bar, right?

We do, yes.

Gonna take a lot of work.

the place down with me in it.

It is the old Greenleaf way, isn't it?

When are you gonna get it
through your head

that I have nothing...
When are you gonna get it

through your heart
that you need to tell the truth?

God knows it. He knows.

Which is why he told Jacob
to tell Tara about the will,

which is why he told Mae
to give us the house.

Your lies are grieving the spirit, James.

You need to tell the truth.

I had nothing to do with that fire.

Well, why are things
going so badly for you

and so well for me?

Success is the evidence of holy favor,

and you look highly out of favor.

Oh Bishop, getting tossed
out of your church,

evicted from your house,

building a church in a stinky bar.

You've got to ask yourself,

or even wonder,

is this what a Saint's life looks like?

Get out.

Oh, I'm leaving.

Lord knows I don't feel safe alone

with the likes of you.

But Bishop, beware.

Until you admit the role you played

But that was mama's secret, Charity.

Yeah, well, now I'm mad all over again.

[CELLPHONE RINGS]

Oh. Wait.

Hold on. This is Darius.
I got to take this.

Dari... okay.

[MOCKINGLY] "I got to
take this. It's Darius."

You do you. The two of us
are just gonna sit over here

and figure out how to cut you
out of everything.

- [LAUGHS]
- Cut me out of what?

Everything... breakfast, wills, spades.

- Pancakes.
- Please!

Hey, stranger.

DARIUS: We got him.

Who? Bob?

One of the names
Yusef gave us panned out.

They're willing to go on record

about how Edenveil took their house away.

I'm on my way back to the house.

Can I see you?

I'll be right over.

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR, DOOR OPENS]

There's a word for people like you.

- Cousin?
- No.

- Sister-cousin?
- [CHUCKLES] Foe.

- Snitch.
- Loose-lipped trout.

Thanks to you, my escape plans

are now in a major holding pattern,

and it could involve hoboken.

Very uncool.

I thought Hoboken was cool now.

[SIGHS]

It's fine.

Pretty weird about Grandma, though.

Yeah. I feel bad for her.

I was actually just reading this stuff

about adultery in the Bible.

I thought you were over the Bible.

I am.

But she's not.

I always knew Grandma was freaky.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

Just the idea of grandma freaky. Ugh.

- Everyone's freaky.
- I guess.

[CHUCKLES]

Wait, how come you're not more mad at me?

Oh, I was, I was. But I got it out.

How?

I told your mom about your pics.

[LAUGHS]

- You did not.
- Oh, yes, I did.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Tell me you're joking.

Tell me you're joking.

I told her that I was concerned
that your embarrassment

about a certain set
of mildly revealing pictures

was giving you second thoughts
about going back to Hampton.

You are not the only one around here

with deeply sympathetic fears

that just have to be shared with adults.

Okay. I guess that's fair.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Darius?

D?

[SIGHS]

[CELLPHONE BEEPS]

[ RINGING]

Darius Nash is not available.

Please leave a message after the tone.

[BEEP]

Hey, I-I'm here. Where are you?

Hey, Grace.

Where's Darius?

You know, it's the funniest thing.

Where is he?

Come on. I'll take you.

Don't touch me.

Where is he?

You'd better be careful, Grace.

No one cares anymore about journalists.

No one likes a squeaky wheel.

Stay out of it.
