"Look who's down here again." "Previously on "greenleaf"..." "Rough morning with your mama?" "Yeah." "Anything I can do?" "No." "She's off her meds." "And that church is going up like bamboo." "Unless it's not." "My son, aaron, has been doing a lot of zoning law." "Over in nashville." "I could work remotely." "If it would help for me to stay a while." "Jacob's room is sitting empty." "I really don't know how all this is gonna end." "How what's gonna end?" "Triumph two and all the money." "That basie's putting into this." "What about the law?" "Or even god's law?" "I'm giving all this back to the church," "So I'm at a loss to see what's wrong." "It should happen naturally," "And it doesn't feel that way anymore." "It's over." "Once the smoke clears," "And all this legal stuff is behind you," "If you ever need someone to talk to..." "This is my birthday." "You're busy every other day with him," "Can't you just stick with me for this one night?" "Excuse me." "Can I help you?" "My name is grace greenleaf Lorraine." "I just want to make sure." "That you know." "Lorraine, go home." "He's a child molester." "Stop it!" "Is he pressing charges or not?" "If you continue to harass him," "I have a feeling he will." "What is it gonna take, gigi, to bring you back into the fold?" "Put mac in jail." "What did you do to her?" "What did you do?" "Aah!" "Good morning, dear." "Morning, mama." "Daddy." "Gigi." "All this preparation for your sister's memorial." "Has your mama in a..." "A fragile state." "How can I help?" "The scholarship fund." "What about it?" "Were there any other programs like that?" "Awards or something else..." "Gigi." "That mac might have used to pay his victims off?" "We told the police everything we knew, gigi..." "Gave them everything." "I have to find someone." "Who will come forward and talk." "Before this deferred adjudication ends." "If it ends with no new evidence or testimony," "Then he'll just be free." "That can't seem right to you." "Your uncle used his worldly power." "To evade the worldly law." "Now you can console yourself if you must." "With the prospect that he'll suffer in hell." "Because of what he did to your sister," "Or you can pray every day, as I do," "That he'll be convicted of his sin and repent." "You still haven't answered my question, mama." "Were there any other programs, any awards?" "Please." "Please, help me!" "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is." "To have a thankless child." "I'll wait for you in the car." "Do me a favor, gigi..." "For yourself, sophia, faith," "Whoever it is that can arouse pity in your heart..." "Until your sister's memorial is over tomorrow," "Be still." "If you're compelled to say anything on that girl's behalf," "I encourage you to reconsider." "Hello?" "Hello." "Mae?" "Mac?" "I didn't expect you to answer." "I wish I hadn't." "What does that son of a bitch want?" "Why are you calling?" "I just wanted to reach out." "I know tomorrow is the anniversary..." "Don't you say it." "Don't you let my child's name pass your lips." "You really think you didn't do it." "I didn't." "If I did, you think I'd risk calling just to s..." "What did he want?" "Nothing." "So, how did that work out for you?" "Well, she's gonna go to her grave." "Believing all gigi's lies." "I told you you were asking for trouble calling." "Thank god you found me when you did." "We'll get you right before it's all over." "Call me after your meeting today." "I want to be the first to hear the good news." "I will." "Thank you." "You're a good man, robert." "Don't believe what that old biddy says." "Getting better all the time." "Why would a judge do it, though?" "Most wouldn't." "But this judge has been known." "To view cases such as your uncle's." "With a jaundiced eye." "A sexist, patriarchal eye." "This is memphis." "Most folks here just call it 20/20 vision." "When is he gonna rule?" "Could be as early as next week." "So, that's why you came all the way over here," "To tell me this in person..." "And on the eve of the anniversary." "Of my sister's suicide..." "That mac just wins?" "No." "I'm sorry." "This is just..." "This is bad news to get on a day like this." "No need to be." "I actually came to say you may have one last shot." "I'll take it." "It seems there was a girl..." "Who lived in the building." "That your uncle used to live in... 16 years old." "Neighbors said they were friendly." "The detectives made a note about it in the file," "But no one ever followed it up." "So, what are you gonna do?" "Me?" "Nothing." "The case is closed." "And I've been advised by some friends of your uncle." "To keep it that way." "It might be nothing." "It's more than I got." "I'll check it out." "Let me know what happens." "I will." "Unless there's a swift infusion of cash." "From somewhere soon, pastor..." "Something's gonna give." "Exactly." "We can't have that." "We won't." "If we just let the crews go..." "We not gonna do that." "We got a week left on this thing." "We're just gonna have to scrounge up some scratch." "The way the saints do." "How's that?" "How do you think?" "Praying." "Yeah." "I know how hard you both work." "I'm sorry to have to deliver this bad news." "Don't be, brittany." "As I always say, the facts are friendly." "Pastor greenleaf." "Brittany." "Can you believe that girl?" "What about her?" "We're gonna have to round up some cash, brother... fast." "Pains me to see her suffering like that." "Basie..." "Well, talk to me." "You ready to plunge." "Clara jackson's solid-gold money toilet?" "No, but maybe..." "What?" "Maybe we should just stop." "Stop what?" "Basie don't stop." "Triumph two." "You wanted to make a point to my father." "You made it." "But I am not..." "And I can just stay here." "And work with you downtown." "Let the crews go." "Call it a day." "Brother greenleaf, how can I put this?" "Never... not ever." "No." "Now, what if moses went back to god." "After his first tussle with the pharaoh and said," ""I don't know, lord." "I mean, he's just so big and mean." "Can't we just continue to be slaves?"" ""please?"" "You know, moses wasn't out for revenge." "He was on a mission... for god." "Who says it can't be both?" "I'm not gonna have this conversation with you." "I promised you a church, and that's just what I'm gonna give you." "I just need a little bit of faith." "Well, I'm ready to pray whenever." "Then do." "Do." "'Cause there's a game tonight." "And I hear bass reeves is in town," "And you know bass reeves don't play to lose." "Bass wins." "And you can sign here, please." "All right." "Done." "So, you happy now?" "No." "Hey." "Hey, daddy." "Now, this just landed in the mail room," "And looks like it might be good news." "It is." "It's my cds." "Can I have a look?" "Please." "You and mama paid for them." "Did we?" "Well, I don't remember all that." "Now look at that." "That's a lovely picture." "I guess." "What's the matter?" "The lake..." "I never thought when we were picking out the cover..." "What... faith?" "Yeah." "Should we change it?" "Lord knows this earth is the site of many sorrows." "I think it's a fitting resurrection." "May I keep this?" "Of course." "Take two." "I think I'll do that." "Daddy?" "Yes, child." "I'm divorced." "Come." "Why does everything I do go wrong?" "Don't you know?" "No." "The sparkle depends." "On the flaws in a diamond." "I look at you now," "And you've never been brighter." "Thank you." "Good morning." "Hi." "Hey." "Hi." "Can I help you?" "Yes, please." "I'm looking for a girl." "I believe she lives here..." "Michaela reese?" "What's this about?" "My name is grace greenleaf." "I'm a pastor at calvary fellowship world ministries." "Does she live here?" "I'm sorry." "We're not allowed to discuss residents with strangers." "Did you work here when a man by the name." "Of robert mccready lived here?" "So you did." "So you know the rest about him, too." "I think you should go." "Please." "Just let me explain." "The police made a note about michaela," "That she lived in this building," "That she had a relationship with mac," "Maybe just a friendship," "But no one ever asked her about it." "Management has a policy." "He abused my sister, and she killed herself." "I'm just trying to make sure that it doesn't happen again." "Help." "It's the right thing to do." "I do know she spent time in his apartment." "I didn't think anything of it." "She doesn't have the best home life," "And it just seemed like he was being a good neighbor." "I just want to talk to her." "She gets home from school at 4:00." "Thank you." "Deputy mayor leonard." "Walk with me." "Thanks for meeting in person." "Yeah, always a pleasure to see you." "Skip." "What?" "I'll see this gets into the right hands." "I got to get back." "I want to ask you something." "I've already stuck my neck out enough for you with this judge." "What now?" "I need a job." "Great idea." "Get one." "Good advice." "Maybe I'll try the f.E.C." "I reckon they might be hiring." "Well, see, if they don't already have an investigation open." "Into how you and your boy raised the finances." "For his first campaign, I imagine they will." "After I talk to them." "What kind of job are we talking about?" "Nothing fancy... don't worry." "Just a chance to get paid doing good." "For the good folks of memphis." "That's the last of my savings." "After I'm cleared, why not?" "I'll see what I can do." "Okay." "Yeah, no, no, no, no." "Makes sense." "Thanks anyway." "Bye." "Hey." "Got a second?" "For what?" "Kevin." "We're still gonna have to work together." "Don't be that way." "Sorry, I'm living in a hotel again," "And every time I find a good place," "It's rented by the time I call." "I'm sorry." "I don't know if that's true anyway." "Don't know if what's true?" "Us "having" to work together." "We're in the same building." "After what you told your parents, why would I stay?" "Are you planning on quitting?" "Not yet." "What do you want?" "I wanted to know if you were coming to faith's memorial." "I hadn't planned on it." "But not out of disrespect to her or anything," "Just..." "You know, all this." "I, um, I was hoping you would." "Well, I'd rather not." "Okay." "Charity." "Just having a bad day." "Sorry." "I know." "Would you at least want to come hang with nathan." "During the ceremony?" "Yeah." "I can do that." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Got to get back to the search." "Okay." "See you tomorrow." "Excuse me, michaela?" "Yeah?" "My name is grace greenleaf." "I'm a pastor at calvary fellowship." "Where mr." "Mccready worked?" "That's right." "So you knew mr." "Mccready?" "A little, yeah." "W-why?" "Am I in trouble?" "No, not at all." "I just want to talk to you, ask you a few questions." "Would that be okay?" "Yeah, okay." "What do you want to know?" "Can we?" "Most of the time, he just told me things." "From books he was reading." "He gave me money sometimes." "When my mom would split or freak." "He was chill." "So that's it?" "That's all?" "Yeah." "He never..." "Tried anything..." "Tried to touch you?" "Maybe more?" "Why are you asking me this?" "I thought you weren't a cop." "No, sweetheart, I am not." "You do know he was arrested." "Yeah." "You know what for?" "Yeah, but he didn't get convicted." "Yes, he did." "He just didn't do time." "So, why are you asking me this?" "Because if he ever did do." "Anything like that to you..." "We can put him in jail, and he would stay there." "But..." "He didn't." "Would you tell me if he did?" "I don't know, 'cause I wouldn't know what that was like." "But he didn't." "He was always really cool." "Sorry." "No, don't be." "I am glad that he didn't do anything to you." "It's good." "Can I go now?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Hello." "Mr. Mccready." "Yeah?" "It's michaela." "Yeah, I know." "Everything okay?" "I don't know." "A lady came by the building today asking questions about you." "What kind of questions?" "You don't have to tell me." "I know." "Yeah." "And so what did you tell her?" "Just that you've always been nice and nothing else," "And that was that." "Should I not have talked to her?" "No, no." "It's all right." "You did good." "I appreciate you telling me." "That means, means a lot." "So, um," "You know there's nothing to these stories, I hope." "I do." "Yeah." "Good." "How's your mom doing?" "Okay." "She's on new meds now," "So that's always a nightmare." "Well..." "I'm sorry to hear that." "I should..." "She actually popped off on me bad yesterday." "Because I got home late..." "Like, really bad." "Robert?" "Robert, you won't believe what I..." "I can't wait to graduate and go." "Well, well, that is, a problem." "Yeah." "It is." "I should probably get back to you tomorrow on that, okay?" "Yeah, okay." "All right." "Talk to you then." "Who was that?" "My lawyer." "Everything all right?" "It will be." "Just these last-minute hoops they want me to jump through." "It'll all be fine." "You eaten yet?" "No, I didn't get a chance." "Well, let's go to paulette's." "I won't say no to that." "Thank you." "Just let me get dressed, okay?" "Yes." "So I'm gonna need you to just be zen tonight." "Got it?" "Trust in the spirit." "You planning something crazy?" "No, just making sense of the crazy coming my way." "Feel me?" "Brother leonard." "Pastor skanks." "You ready to lose some money?" "Never short on confidence, this guy, is he?" "No, that is definitely his gift." "Never tall on size." "I heard that." "Hey, pastor greenleaf." "Yeah?" "You all go on ahead." "Okay." "What's up, fellas?" "Looks like you caught the bug." "Well, I caught something." "What it is exactly, I'm not sure." "We'll see." "What's good?" "I saw your uncle earlier today." "Okay." "Seems to be working real hard." "To put his life back in order." "This legal cloud looming over his head is about to pass," "So he came and asked me for a job." "Now, I'll see if I can't put something together for him." "Don't do that." "Well, it won't be anything big," "Just a way to pay the bills, you know?" "Like I said, just, no." "Don't." "But it's the christian thing to do." "What did I tell you, man?" "Don't!" "Whoa." "Whoa, easy." "Easy." "Man, I got to drive home tomorrow." "And drive right past the lake." "Where my little sister drowned herself." "Because of what that man did to her." "You give him a job," "You so much as piss on him if he's on fire," "I'll take your ass apart six ways to sunday." "Understand?" "Yeah, I understand." "Geez." "Well, you just never really know, do you?" "What's that, dear?" "When you're happy." "And when you really have it, you know?" "I mean, and you stop to take a picture," "And then you're more intent on taking the picture." "Than you are knowing that you have it." "Finally, for one moment, you have it." "We did have it," "Which is more than most folk can say." "Well... we'll have it again." "A form of it, anyway." "I'll be ready for heaven when my time comes." "Guess that's some consolation." "Hey." "Evening." "H-hey, grace, c-come in and sit down." "Your mother and I are just looking at some old pictures." "I'm good." "Thanks, though." "Excuse me?" "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I'd really rather not." "You can't bear it?" "Well, your father and I are just here mourning your sister." "And, all the beauty she took when she passed." "Grace greenleaf, stay right there!" "Don't you walk away from me when I'm talking to you." "Don't you dare do that." "Mama, please, I just..." "I feel so powerless." "Would you just let me go?" ""Powerless"?" "Hey!" "Yes!" "What do you know." "From powerless?" "When have you ever been prevented." "From anything until now..." "Or restrained yourself one whit?" "Every problem you have, you caused." "Every cross you bear," "You built it yourself." "You don't know about powerless..." "What your sister endured, what I endured," "What those girls you go around showing off defending endured." "Mama." "What?" "What have you ever endured?" "Well, nothing compared to you I guess." "God." "Go on." "Go up to your little hidey-hole and stew." "That's what you do." "Mama, I'm sorry." "I'll look at pictures, okay?" "No, please." "Just go." "There will be enough to fight about tomorrow." "I'm empty." "I didn't know they still made easy money like this." "Whoo!" "I should have brought along a suitcase." "Doesn't it say somewhere in the bible," ""shut your gloating mouth"?" "James 4 and 16..." ""all boasting is evil,"." "But there ain't no boasting going on here." "It's just thankful heart making holy exaltations." "About the saving power of god." "And maybe a little boasting." "Just deal the cards, please." "Cut those, please." "Ante up, gentlemen." "Yep, they call it "escargot,"." "But at the end of the day, it's still a snail." "I've never been to france," "But I can't imagine the food being." "Any better than that place." "She does such an amazing job on everything." "Well, I'm..." "I'm glad you enjoyed it." "Have you ever been to france?" "Yeah, a few times." "Well, you have to take me." "Done." "Who is this?" "What are you talking about?" "This here... who is it?" "You don't need to touch it to read it." "You're not blind, mac." "Who is it?" "It's my niece." "Your niece?" "Yeah, grace's kid, sophia." "You and she talk, text?" "Yeah, sometimes." "She knows her mother is not right," "And with faith's thing coming up tomorrow," "Grace is..." "It's sophia." "Call her." "Go on." "No, no." "I just wanted to know." "Can I have it back now?" "Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are." "When you're jealous?" "No." "Well, let me be the first." "$10,000." "Who wants to dance?" "Can't follow you boys down this road," "And I can't say I'm sorry." "Too rich for my blood." "Mr. Leonard." "I'm good." "Well, I-i shouldn't say that." "Let's say I'm blessed." "You ain't saying nothing, mr." "Preacher man." "How about 100 large on top of that?" "That puts you all in." "I ain't scared." "Let's see..." "A 9 plus a 10 plus a jack." "Plus a queen plus a king." "Whatcha call that?" "A losing hand." "Where's your Jesus now, brothers?" "Where is he?" "He must be up on the mountain praying." "I took it all!" "Goodness." "I got the whole pot." "I'm getting some money." "You gonna be all right?" "Yeah." "That's the game, right?" "The lord must have something he trying to teach me," "Using them fools to spank me like that." "Well, I'm ready to learn." "See you tomorrow." "Basie." "Yeah, I know." "I'll give it back to you." "No, no, no, it's not that." "I lost mine fair and square." "That's on me." "Well, I'm gonna cover it." "All the same." "It's just gonna take me a few games to do it." "That's all." "Basie." "Yeah?" "Well, come on now, tasha gonna be wondering." "Where her man's got to so late." "Is that the church's money you lost in there tonight?" "Most definitely." "Most definitely." "It's okay." "It's all right." "Here you go." "Hi." "Hi." "Hi." "There you go." "Mommy loves you." "I miss you, faith." "And I love you." "Zora, go get your brother ready." "We're gonna be leaving in five." "I'm almost done." "Zora, if you don't get up off that couch right now," "I promise you..." "You try maintaining a lifelike presence online." "I have a brand to support here, people." "Go get him dressed." "I'm going." "I'm going." "Can you buy me followers?" "That's not how you do things." "Grandma does it." "Case in point." "Go!" "Come on." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm all right." "Tell me something nice about faith." "Faith?" "Yeah, a good memory." "I ran into a brick wall." "Playing high-school ball." "Couldn't quite put my bat on a 90-mile-an-hour fastball." "And, um, she saw me moping about it one day," "Asked what the problem was." "I told her." "And she told me I could do it." ""My big brother can do anything."" "She wasn't wrong." "Come on." "Let's not be late." "We know we missed the signs with faith," "But what else did we miss?" "What are we..." "What are we missing today." "With each other, missing in ourselves?" "Because those other secrets," "Doubts, resentments," "Sympathies unspoken," "Dreams unvoiced," "They're all still with us today." "If there's any good." "That can come from the loss of our daughter," "Sister, auntie, friend," "Faith marie, it's this..." "That we can be more open with each other." "In the time that we have left," "More generous with our kindness," "More courageous when it comes to sharing." "The secrets that shadow our hearts." "Because we know today, more sharply than most," "After we're gone," "The time for saying has past." "And while the wordless truths of heaven will be sweet," "There's a sweetness to be had here, too." "It is, after all," "God's world." "Hey." "Hey." "Dad duty?" "Yeah, yeah." "Thought you might be here." "Hey." "What is that, tar heels?" "You want to watch?" "Yeah." "Yeah, if it's, not too much trouble." "Not at all." "Come on in." "Hey, "z."" "Hey." "Sorry about my birthday." "Birthday?" "Yeah." "What about it?" "Trying to make you stay," "Making you choose or trying to." "It's no big deal." "It seemed like it at the time." "I forgot about it." "It's cool." "Thank you." "Just what you wanted?" "Yes." "Maricel, this is heavenly..." "Just like I wanted it." "Thank you so much." "Been my pleasure, ma'am." "Son." "Who are those from?" "You know, probably darlene and vida." "She mentioned that they were..." "What?" "Where are they from?" "You stay with the family." "Wait." "Where are you going?" "You think there's not gonna be." "Consequences messing in my life!" "Mac, what have you done?" "This is a spiritual danger zone." "Can I go to nashville?" "You're in sin!" "Just say it!" "I'm in sin!" "I'm in sin!" "I don't have anyone else." "It drives you nuts that mac's free." "Let it go." "You hurt those girls!" "You are sick!" "I didn't hurt..." ""greenleaf"..." "The mid-season finale."
