He doesn't believe a woman is worthy of serving Satan. Then Satan tells Claire is told to deliver the assassin's soul to him.

The Matrix Reloaded ðŸŽ¥ (AMC, 8 p.m.): Neo and his allies race against time before the machines discover the city of Zion and destroy it. While seeking the truth about the Matrix, Neo must save Trinity from a dark fate within his dreams. I love this movie.

Police Woman 📺 (Decades, 8 p.m.): A weekend with Pepper Anderson sounds like a good weekend to me. In this season one episode, Pepper works under cover as a nurse in a retirement home discovered to have an abnormally high death rate among its residents because of some killer lesbians. This episode was protested for its bad representation and was not seen in the syndication run for decades.
