[audience cheering]
-Amen! -[cheering and applause]
Hope of the beloved.
Please join me in welcoming back home
our new pastor, Dean Humphries!
[audience cheering]
Thank you. Thank you.
The prodigal son has returned!
Please. Please, it's too much.
What an honor it is to come back
and serve the congregation that raised me.
My father's dying wish...
Sorry.
His dying wish was for Heidi and I to come home.
To give our all to the community
that gave me so much growing up,
so that together we could continue
to serve our neighbor.
-Amen. -To offer aid and comfort
to those who feel lost or abandoned.
To care for the widowed and the fatherless
when no one else will.
[Monica] You hypocritical bastard!
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me, oh.
[audience murmuring]
Let us pray for all who suffer.
Thank you for welcoming us on your Friday evening,
and we'll see you on Sunday morning.
And every Friday evening and Sunday morning
for as long as the good Lord sees fit.
God bless you all. Amen.
[coin clanking]
[breathing heavily]
Sweetheart, it's, it's, it's mom.
It's Monica. I need to see you.
Tonight. I just...
[mellow music]
But it will piss a lot of people off.
Reputation is everything to them.
And I know he'll stop at nothing.
But I can't...
It's time you knew what really happened.
You deserve the truth.
[phone clatters]
♪ Walking so tough ♪
[Monica screams]
[indistinct singing]
[knocking on door]
Jesus, just a minute!
[Monica]I need to see you tonight.
It's time you knew what really happened.
You deserve the truth.
[knocking on door]
[gasps]I have to go.
I love you. I've always loved you.
[phone beeps]
[knocking on door]
Goddammit, Sam!
Your man's beating the shit outta some yuppie.
-I'm calling the cops. -Don't! I'll handle it.
-He better cool it. -Sam, we gotta go.
You lie to me once, it's your nose.
Next is your jaw, and then it's your neck.
[groaning]
-You understand, huh? -He doesn't have it.
We'll go to an ATM.
I'm not super liquid right now...
Hey, you're not getting anything out of him tonight.
Listen to your girl, man.
-When can you have it? -Plus 20 percent.
-Monday. I can get it Monday. -That's not soon enough!
I can't just pull it out of my ass, man. What the f...
-[grunting] -Sam! Sam, stop!
You're gonna kill him.
-Sam! -[groaning]
-[gunshot] -Stop!
The man in that photo isn't risking his life for cash.
Okay? He doesn't have your money.
It's not my money!
It's not my money, V!
Hey! V, get in the car.
Oh, yeah. Drive away in a stolen car?
Get in the car, V.
I am done, Sam. Hey, don't follow me.
[siren wailing in distance]
Come on, John.
What would your wife say if I sent you home
too hammered to bone?
Uh...
[line beeping]
-[car engine rumbling] -[line rings]
[V]Monica's phone. Leave a message.
But she probably won't call you back.
[instrumental music]
[door opens]
All right, Dmitry's here. [indistinct]
Electric-driving communist.
I think a communist is just what you need tonight, John.
-Who are you? -That's my sister.
Sister? You don't look like sisters--
Well, that's what foster care would do for you.
Be nice to Dmitry!
Oh, dirty Bolshevik...
-Sorry about him. -[toilet flushing]
-Oh, my God, hi! I missed you! -I've missed you more.
I'm blaming, what's his name, uh, the boyfriend I don't like.
Sorry, bad timing?
Hey, Jamie, I'm gonna need the rest of the night!
Hey, no. You don't, you don't have to do that.
Oh, yes, I do.
Come on.
[Monica]I have to go. I love you.
I've always loved you.
She just walks away without hanging up.
Are you okay?
I mean, Monica plus that asshat Sam in the same night?
Look, I didn't answer 'cause I didn't recognize the number.
And the cell I gave her is dead, just straight
to voicemail for the last hour.
And-and this number, whatever it is,
it's always busy.
And why'd she say tonight, Ruby?
Something's wrong.
Is it a pay phone?
They still have those?
A-a few.
The city keeps a registry online.
If you search it by a phone number,
it'll pull up an address.
[Ruby] This feels weird.
Jut gimme a minute.
-[phone beeping] -[sighs]
-[phone rings] -Hello!
Oh, sorry, sorry. I was testing the phone number.
What did you find?
It's a, a flyer
from some meeting they had tonight.
Is this the church she grew up in?
I don't know. She never talked about it.
Hey, do you have a pen and paper?
Yeah.
[pensive music]
Hey, can we, can we circle the neighborhood?
[Ruby] Huh. Of course.
[instrumental music]
-No, the cops took him. -[Ricky]Took him where?
I don't know, the ER?
-[Ricky]So you watched them? -Yes
[Ricky]That doesn't get you off the hook.
Ricky, we're gonna get you your money.
Okay. We just gotta lie low.
[Ricky scoffs]You and that little bitch of yours
now owe me 50K.
-Yes. I understand. -[Ricky]I hope so.
-[phone disconnects] -Ricky? Hello?
Fuck!
[Ruby] We can keep looking tomorrow.
We can grab some essentials till you get your stuff from Sam's.
Uh...
Yeah. This is pretty much it.
Okay. You can borrow clothes, whatever.
Bathroom's right there.
Couch is all yours.
[mellow music]
Uh, are those text books?
-Seriously? -Oh. Stop, V.
-Marketing Fundamentals? -Come on.
[gasps] "Live it, Love it, Sell it?"
It's a couple classes at Metro Community.
Hot shit, someone call the state,
we've got a new poster child.
Ruby will not be another statistic!
If I graduate.
[sighs]
We need to talk.
I'm fine.
Don't give me that "I'm fine" bullshit.
I'm not your case worker.
Fine, I'm tired.
Fine. I'll get you pajamas.
Oh, God!
And by pajamas, I mean my broke-ass ex's
old boxers and t-shirt.
Which may or may not be clean.
Hm, yeah.
[instrumental music]
Thank you.
[groans]
[Monica]V, baby, he's back.
After all this time.
And he knows I know who he really is,
and what he's done.
I may have been the first,
but... I've tracked him all these years
and I know I wasn't the last.
The truth will set you free, but it'll also...
You made coffee.
Hmm. Thanks. Mm.
Thank you for this, it's cozy.
How was the couch?
I haven't slept like that since Amara's.
Hmm. Mama Amara's!
Best 27 months of my life.
I think her message is about that church.
The one across the street from the payphone.
Damn, who's the chiseled jaw?
Their new pastor. The same guy from the flyer.
"Join us for Pastor Dean Humphries' first Sunday,
returning to Hope of the Beloved following his father's passing."
I think that's who she's talking about.
"He's back. After all these years."
I mean, maybe?
Well, do you have any other ideas?
Call the cops?
[chuckles] Yeah, "Hi, uh, no evidence
but I think a local pastor abducted my mom.
And BTW, I'm likely wanted for loan sharking
and fleeing the scene of an assault."
I get it. I get it.
Look, the church has services tomorrow.
I have to at least check it out.
Okay. Yeah, I think I can skip study group tomorrow.
No, no, no. You go to "study group."
What's gonna happen? It's a church.
Have you never seen a single True Crime documentary?
[church bell ringing]
Seven is perfection. Wholeness.
Perfection multiplied equals endless forgiveness.
Now, I know I'm not perfect.
Are any of you perfect?
-[indistinct chatter] -No.
Heidi honey, are you perfect?
-Well, I think she is. -Good answer, Pastor!
[audience laughing]
We all need forgiveness,
which means we all need to forgive.
Give me an amen if you need it as much as I do!
-[audience] Amen. -Amen.
Amen. Let us pray.
Please give us the power to forgive our enemies,
the strength to make it through this day.
Bless our families.
Um, not only as hope of the beloved kept us fed,
they got us the medical care my daughter needed.
I don't know where we would be without Pastor Dean.
Thank you. Thank you, all.
Your generosity of time and resources
is what makes this work possible.
Now, please, join me in welcoming
our worship leader, Gage,
who'll be leading us in a beautiful message of hope.

Excuse me? Not so fast!
You'll miss the get-together, and I made brownies!
Pride's a sin, but when it comes to my brownies,
God understands. I'm Kayla. First time?
Let's get you a schedule.
What brings you to Hope of the Beloved?
Hey, I'm, I'm looking for someone.
Do you know a-a Monica Whitman?
Oh, she was at Friday Night's Inspirational Hour.
It was a big one because we were welcoming back Pastor Dean.
How do you know her?
She's a-a friend of my mom's.
Did you see where she went?
Oh. Darn it, no.
She, um, got upset and we had to ask her to leave.
Is she okay?
Uh, do you know if, if she went here,
or if she, she got assistance like that woman on stage?
Oh, um, sorry, I am on the marketing team,
I am the marketing team.
And we keep welfare recipients confidential.
For privacy.
Uh, could I, could I talk to Pastor Humphries?
Oh, Pastor Dean?
Isn't he amazing?
He's been at some of the biggest churches
across the country,
and we are just pinching ourselves
that he's back here with us now.
-Thank you. -Of course.
Uh, you know, they're hiring me a social media intern,
no benefits but decent pay.
I'm terrible at keeping up with all the new platforms.
And Heidi and the Pastor want this big, global livestream push
to bring in you younger folks.
Yeah. I don't, I don't really...
Don't tell me you didn't grow up on socials.
At least apply!
Uh, thank you.
-Uh, I should go. -Okay. Well, thanks for coming!
I'll keep an eye out for your mom's friend
and hope to see your application!
[phone vibrates]
Sam, if this is you, I swear to--
[Peter]This is Detective Frederick.
Metro Police. Am I speaking to the daughter of Monica Whitman?
Peter Frederick?
[Peter]Yes, this is Peter Frederick.
-Is this the daughter of-- -Where is she? Where's my mom?
[mellow music]
[shudders] Yeah. It's her.
I have a form for you to sign.
And I have your mother's personal facts.
[music continues]
[Peter] I'm glad I could be here.
You know, I'm usually with the organized crime unit.
But I jumped onboard when I heard her name on the scanner.
I knew your mom in high school,
saw her every now and again after she ran into trouble.
She was a good person.
Had the biggest heart.
I'm sorry for the way things turned out for her.
Just not sorry enough to "jump onboard"
when she was still alive?
Again, I-I am sorry.
Your mom went through hell two decades ago
but she shut all of us out.
She refused my help. Not even for her little girl.
She said it wasn't my place.
[plastic bag rustling]
Uh, thanks for your condolences.
But what you can do is find out what happened to her.
They still have to run the autopsy.
-But given her history-- -She didn't OD.
I recognize this is a difficult situation for you.
No, no, no. She called me last night in panic.
-Was she prone to panic? -She left me a message.
-Listen. -What about paranoia?
No, listen to her message, she was--
So, how well did you know your mother?
Files say she gave up rights when you were eleven.
Miss Whitman, we see more of these overdoses every day.
We're beyond capacity with them--
She didn't... Run the autopsy!
'Cause what about the bruises on her face? On her shoulder?
Unfortunately, it's not out of the ordinary for unhoused women.
She's a fresh injection point in her left arm.
Listen, we're, we're following protocol
and we can go over your concerns--
Protocol. You're incredible.
And you have no idea, 'cause she was left-handed.
I am sensitive to your situation,
but I need you to come with me.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
My unit has questions regarding your relationship
with Samuel Hollingsworth.
[sighs]
[crying]
[Peter] Let's get you some lunch and we'll clear this
all up at the station, okay?
I'm sorry, It's just... my mom's stuff.
Oh! Oh!
It's okay. It's okay. You're in shock.
Why don't you get her to the ladies' room?
-Give her a chance to-- -I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
What are you doing?
-Where are you going? -My access card.
V! Hey!
[Peter] Stop right there.
-Go, go, go... -[Peter] Stop right there.
[clamoring]
-Peter... -Open the door!
V! You run now and they will not go easy on you!
-[dramatic music] -[sighs]
Hey!
Have you seen a woman, like this tall,
big hair, run out here?
[instrumental music on stereo]
[wheels rattling]
V... come with me now,
tell me what you know about Sam Hollingsworth,
we'll forget all this!
[pensive music]
[engine rumbling]
[engine revving]
[tires screeching]
[pensive music]
[grunts]
[panting]
[mellow music]
[sighs]
[crying]
[music continues]
[crying]
[crickets chirping]
Hey, V.
-D-don't. I'm fine. -[Ruby] Fine?
You just identified your mom's body...
and met your deadbeat dad for the first time.
Venus Retrograde is screwing you.
He didn't seem deadbeat.
But a cop?
Peter Frederick was Santa Claus.
Like a story my mom made up.
But there he was, turned up because he heard her name.
Maybe he wanted to see you too?
Uh, yeah. To arrest me.
I don't think my mom ever told him that he was a father.
Well, he knows now.
And he can't arrest you, he owes you.
I didn't tell him.
I need to show you something.
Is this your mom's handwriting?
And that's him, right, the pastor?
From, like, 20 years ago?
"What you did to me in darkness will be brought to light.
What you whispered behind closed doors
will be shouted from the rooftops.
To Monica, All my love forever, Dean."
[mellow music]
[Ruby exhales]
V, I-I... There's nothing else. I already looked.
[V] What the hell is she talking about?
What did he do to her?
Two days ago? Or 20 years ago?
Like, 25-ish years ago,
my mom slipped up with her boyfriend Peter Frederick,
got pregnant, then kicked out of church,
and disowned by her family.
If the pastor's son was in love with her,
maybe, maybe he fueled the fire to cut her off?
But why would she be so scared now?
She said she was "his first victim, not his last."
Or maybe he took advantage of her
when she was most vulnerable?
I-I don't know.
God.
But she never recovered, just a series
of addictions and shit boyfriends.
-Hm. -God...
If he was a predator then, she was sure he still is today.
And that he would do anything to keep it quiet.
[slow dramatic music]
[sighs]
[paper rustling]
They're looking for interns.
Oh, wait a second, wait, wait a sec--
I get in, get cozy, figure out
what's going on fast enough to nail his ass
before he can hurt anyone else.
It's not safe! Your mom--
Who else is going to stop him?
Your not-so-deadbeat-cop dad? That's his job.
Drop a tip with no evidence
that the people's pastor is a murderer?
You don't know she was murdered
and you don't know it was him.
I know that my mom was there on Friday night.
And that this guy,
he had something to do with it.
I know it, Ruby. I could feel it.
What church is gonna hire you as an intern?
[scoffs]
Okay, I-I'm aware I don't look or act the part,
but nothing a little thorough makeover
and some church-bible
social media knowledge can't fix.
[sighs]
But I can't do it without you, Ruby.
Please.
Fine. Fine.
We'll go thrifting tomorrow,
get you looking the part.
And then, what, what first? Um, a resume.
Do you have any experiences that's not total BS?
[sighs] Oh, wait.
[instrumental music]
[birds chirping]
[phone vibrates]
Hello. [groans]
Who?
Uh, this, yeah, this is Chastity.
Hi! Oh, yeah. Happy to.
Goals? Uh, yeah.
To, uh, use my skills for good.
Yeah. Social media for Jesus!
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that Chastity!
Yes, she's my brightest student.
Yeah, 100 percent.
You should bring her in for an interview.
[Dean]Blessed are the poor in spirit.
Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the, the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
after righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
[instrumental music]
-Amen. -And amen.
Damn.
[pensive music]
[V] Why I'm so passionate about social media?
Uh, well, in the right hands,
it is such a powerful tool for good, for God.
[chuckles] For good and for God.
-Well, God is good. -Mm-hmm.
You're clearly very passionate about it.
Tell me. What is your favorite verse?
Verse?
Or Psalm? Or Parable?
I find it sheds insight into a person's faith.
Well, yeah, I just...
There are so many.
-Well, pick one. -Oh, uh...
Blessed are the poor, for...
No. Sorry.
Just nervous.
The Beatitudes. Uh, which one?
Oh, God. I can't pick just one.
It is hard to pick just one, isn't it?
Yeah.
You know, I appreciate you coming in.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
[crying]
Whoa, what is this about?
I'm sorry, I'm such, I'm such an idiot.
Oh, no, no. You don't say that.
Okay? Please come sit.
Sit.
[sobbing]
It's okay. You can be open with me.
"The truth will set you free."
-What? -John 8:32.
It has brought me great peace, even in my darkest days.
You see, you don't have to pretend with God.
Which means that you don't have to pretend with me.
[dramatic music]
Well, I'm, I'm not some perfect Christian girl.
I, um, I-I grew up in and out of shelters
till my mom gave up on me,
and then I aged out of the foster care system.
Life was so... so dark.
Until, until I heard you on TV.
And then everything changed.
And then I found out about all the good that you do
for women like me, like, like the one on Sunday.
-Was it, was it Rachel? -Mm-hmm.
And then I just, God, I wanted to be a part of it.
But... but I don't know
if I'm ready.
I don't think I'll ever be.
Not one of us is perfect, Chastity.
Your, uh, your background has made it clearer to me
that God has called you here.
But it's going to take everything we have.
You understand? Our time, our hearts.
Our desires, everything.
You think you can do that?
Um, I think so.
Well, then welcome to the team.
-LouAnne! LouAnne! -[LouAnne] Yes.
[Dean] I have found our new intern.
Oh. Well, that was rather soon.
We do have several other applications.
I know, but the Lord says,
"When I open a door, do not stand at the threshold."
I'm not familiar with that verse.
God has made it clear. She's the one.
Oh! Respectfully, your father put certain systems--
Oh, LouAnne! I know I'm not my father.
But I am the head of this organization now,
and I would appreciate you showing me
the same support you showed him.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
Uh, muffin?
Can you start Monday?
[instrumental music]
[dog barking in distance]
-We're gonna have a full house-- -Hey, sorry, I'm late.
It was shit luck with, um...
Sorry, it was, it was bad luck with the bus.
Um, it, it won't happen again.
This is our intern, Chastity's first day.
This is Amir. He runs the pastor's security.
-Nice to meet you. -Pleasure to meet you, Amir.
-Uh, cookie? -No.
-LouAnne? -Maybe later.
Walk with me.
We enforce a strict code of conduct, punctuality,
behavior, language, wardrobe,
and sobriety which is enforced by randomized testing.
For 35 years, we have broadcast
the Sunday Morning Service and the Friday Night
Inspirational Hour on local cable.
You are here to help us expand to a global audience.
But no matter how big we grow...
our value depends upon the trust of our congregation.
-Is that clear? -Mm-hmm.
Time to meet the staff.
[Kayla] Oh, my goodness, welcome!
Heaven sent!
I am at max capacity with the pastor rebranding
and now the push for live-streaming!
It's all too much.
Judith. I stick to book-keeping.
Oh, goodness, I just launched into it!
I'm Kayla.
This is our new intern, Chastity.
Jose. I manage the chaos behind the scenes.
Yeah, Jose is our Technical Director.
-Let me introduce-- -Pastor's wife! Heidi.
It is lovely to meet you, Chastity.
We're still setting up the HD cameras.
And this is the band, the crew.
So, what are you gonna need
for that livestream business I keep hearing about?
I'm sure that we'll, we'll sync that...
Wait, you were at services looking for your friend.
What was her name?
Dean didn't mention how beautiful you are!
[chuckles] Uh, cookie?
Cookie? Cookie?
Fellas! The intern brought cookies!
Is that browned butter?
Uh, whoo, now that I'm in front of the camera,
get thee behind me Satan!
Mathews, 16:23.
You'll have to share your recipe.
Hey, whatever you need, I got you.
Now, don't scare her off on her first day, LouAnne.
[laughs] I'm new here too,
so we all need to stick together.
A church can't survive with just us old folks alone.
And shifting the focus of our charitable missions.
Pastor Dean is all about helping women and children.
Low-income, single moms, kids in crisis.
But why single moms?
James 1:27.
-Pure, undefiled religion. -Mm-hmm.
-May I use the restroom? -Uh, w-we're almost done--
Just real quick. It's this way, yeah? Okay.
[indistinct chatter]
James 1:27. James 1:27.
James 1:27. Oh!
-Shit! Shoot. -Oh, sorry.
-Sorry, sorry. -Uh, nice catch.
Uh, I'm Gage, I'm the worship leader.
You must be Chastity.
Sorry, what?
Aren't you the new intern?
Chastity, Chastity, yeah, of cour...
Yeah, I'm, I'm the new intern.
-Um, I, I should get back. -Yeah, I'll go with you.
I'm supposed to touch base with Kayla, anyway.
Chastity!
I'll show you to your desk.
Chop-chop.
Church tech is for church use only.
Any damages will come out of your paycheck,
which for interns is every Friday.
Now, these are the usernames and passwords
Kayla put them in here for you socials.
Why are, why are all the passwords
names with time stamps?
Those are bible verses.
Kayla will go through all of that with you.
Oh, is, is Pastor Dean not here today?
Well, I'm sure the pastor will find the time
for an appropriate welcome.
Speak of the pastor, and the pastor appears.
Oh, that's an interesting substitution.
The least I can do is come and say hello.
LouAnne, two minutes? Thank you.
Please.
So? First day?
-God give me strength! -He will. He will.
Is there anything you need from me?
I-I'm hearing amazing things about your charity mission,
and if I wanted to highlight
some of the women on social media,
um, where could I find, uh, the list of recipients?
Oh, I keep those records under a lock and key.
Matthew 6:3.
Right, but, but if, if people could see all--
You have to forgive me, Chastity, if I'm misreading you.
If times are hard, which they can be for all of us,
there's no shame in seeking assistance.
I want you to know that I'm always here for you.
Okay?
Thank you, so much.
Of course.
But we'll talk again later.
You have a blessed day.
Gage, walk with me.
[Gage] Yeah. Okay.
-Does now work for you? -Yes, of course.
Um, what, what are we doing?
I thought we'd start with the six-week content calendar
leading up to the first livestream.
Amazing.
[slow dramatic music]
[latch clacking]
Ah! There you are.
We have charity recipients waiting.
Come on. You need to get your camera.
-I'm getting it. -Get it now.
[music continues]
Yeah, when we're done here, please see me at my desk
for a drug test.
-Hey! -Hey!
Hey, don't worry about LouAnne.
It's just how she make friends.
Thanks.
Okay, we are way behind,
so, uh, Kayla wants you to get some video
for charity posts, so start with Judith.
Sure.
Hey.
-Get my good side. -Uh, okay.
[laughs] Do you want me to narrate?
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe just explain,
explain what you're doing here?
I'm sorting hygiene kits.
Uh, pads, tampons, diapers.
Whatever our folks need to stay fresh.
Anything else?
Oh, um, yeah, how long have you worked here?
Since my Larry passed.
Hm, it's been almost 14 years.
Hey, I am so sorry about your husband.
Sorry, I just...
I never, I never know the right thing to say.
Because there isn't a right thing to say.
I'll see Larry in heaven,
but I sure still miss him like hell.
[both chuckle]
Hey, um, do you know a-a Monica Whitman?
No, doesn't ring a bell.
Hmm.
[plastic rustling]
Son, you need a princess toothbrush?
I think I might.
What do you think?
Pick anyone of these?
Chastity, why don't you go grab a box of deodorant?
Somebody needs so.
Chastity? [chuckles] I like that.
I'll be, uh...
[whistles] Feisty.
[dramatic music]
Oh, Rachel. How are you?
Are you here for a pick up?
-Yes. -Gage?
Uh, can you get the bag for Rachel, please?
-Yeah. Right here. Hi. -Oh, perfect. Thank you.
-Do you need anything else? -No, thanks, I've got it.
Rachel! I thought we were meeting this afternoon.
We were, I just, I-I had some...
You know, it's okay.
It'll only take a few minutes for us to conduct
your status review, that way, you and your daughter
can get the support you need.
Hey, Gage. Can you hold this for Rachel?
Why don't we head over to my office and I'll have that
for you whenever you're done.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
You know what? I will be right back.
Okay.
Um, would now work for our talk?
I'm sorry I have another meeting.
But I would, I would love to talk to her--
Boundaries, Chastity. Boundaries.
[door shuts]
Some asshole shit just went down, didn't it?
Just the usual.
Hey, we shouldn't have to put up with the usual.
Sorry, do I know you?
No, but I, I know what it's like
to be coerced into something you don't want.
How, how isolating it feels.
-I don't know what you think. -Dean Humphries.
You don't have toturn the other cheek
and you don't have to do it alone.
Listen, it's not that simple.
I have to worry about my daughter.
-Uh, give me your number-- -I'd rather not.
Uh, then take mine. Please.
[breathing heavily]
Take care of yourself.
[pensive music]
Excuse me? Miss?
[dramatic music]
[phone ringing]
Frederick.
Yeah, coming there.
-[gasps] -[whistling]
Never pegged you the church-going type.
Hey, Ricky knows who you are.
-If we don't give him-- -I have to get back to work.
-[groans] -If we don't don't pay Ricky...
God, look at you, huh?
Time's ticking, V.
[Ruby] I said, shake.
We don't take things outside here.
If you can't lose, don't play.
You should've let 'em fight.
Can it, John.
You look like you need a beer.
Oh, yeah.
[Ruby] How was your first day?
Oh, God. No one's heard of my mom.
Not only is no one willing to talk shit on the pastor,
they think he walks on water.
But I think that Rachel, the woman from the service,
is terrified.
And I pushed too hard, and now Dean is stonewalling me.
[chuckles] And then, I met... Frederick showed up.
Having a cop dad is a whole different kind of daddy issues.
You're not helping.
I need something concrete on Dean.
Careful, you don't need another creepy-ass dude after you.
Meanwhile, my boss LouAnne gave me a drug test,
and is riding my ass to do a job I'm 100 percent clueless about.
What shit are you working on?
Um, new content and livestreams.
Okay, we talked through this.
-Use it to your advantage. -How?
Show 'em you've got chops,
put Dean front and center.
Yeah, but I'm still trying to make sense
of what makes a good marketing campaign.
[chuckles] Oh, my God. Listen to me!

-Yeah, join the club. -Shut up.
You and your music are the best part.
Yeah? Yeah, tell that to the pastor.
He's, he's got a post offer for a new worship leader.

No, it's coo... I, I shouldn't be saying anything.
I mean, if anything, he's jealous.

Welcome, everyone.
Happy Sunday.
Today is all about love.
The pure love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For the love of Jesus.
You ever heard anyone say that?
I'm guessing they were not happy at the time.
You think he killed her?
I don't know, but if he saw her as a threat,
like my mom...
[exhales sharply] I have to find her.
I have to stop him before he can hurt anyone else.
Okay, you will, but that predatory bastard's
gonna get what's coming to him.
Oh, God. But I need evidence.
-A lead. -[Ruby]You'll find it.
[dramatic music]
And please join us next Friday
for our first ever worldwide livestream.
All week we'll be posting videos...
Oh, good!
Um, take these and the collections.
I need to help LouAnne.
You know where to put them in the pastor's office, right?
-Sure. -[indistinct chatter]

I thought you'd finally be happy.
My dad's inheritance, the stock holdings,
a quarter million cash,
our own church, for crying out loud!
You should lower your voice.
And you promised me that it would be different here.
You promised me that.
My job is to be available when my people need me.
-That is my top priority. -I will not be second.
Do you want me to lose the church that my father built?
Because this is our last chance.
-Save it for the congregation. -You don't listen to me.
Let go of me, Dean! Let go of me.
-Dean. -You don't understand.
Let go of me.
[deep breaths]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, honey.
[deep breaths]
It's this place...
I'm living in the shadow of a man
who beat his wife and son.
I need to be better.
You deserve better.
Look at me.
No one has tried harder or overcome more.
But you need to keep it together.
For us.

I will.

I don't know what you think, you know,
but I can assure you--
I-I know that Dean...
You don't know anything.
No man is perfect. [chuckles]
And the very best are given a thorn in the flesh
to keep them humble,
to remind them that they need us.
You need to be careful with your assumptions.

Someone came into services a few weeks ago
dressed a lot like that.
-Maybe seen her again? -No.
But what has she got to do with anything?
She might be in danger.
[Kayla] Oh, dear.
I'm gonna go finish up.
Whoever she is, bless her.
What about you?
Have you seen this person?
[indistinct chatter]
It's just some detective poking his nose.
-Are you okay? -Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
You let me know if you're not.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey.
-Why did you do that? -Do what?
Why did you cover for me?
What, you mean vouch for you?
Look, we all have a past.
It's how we ended up here, it's...
It's how I ended up here.
And if you're trying to change yours,
who are we to get in your way?
Besides, I legit did not recognize you in that photo.

-Have a good night, Gage. -You too.

[Peter] V, it's Peter Frederick.
What you said about Monica being left-handed,
there are some other inconsistencies.
Call me.
-[tense music] -[gasping]
What, do-do you have a fucking tracker on me or something?
Careful.
It was a nice plate of money you had yesterday.
Perfect way for you to get us out of this.
I told you not to take that deal with Ricky.
This is on you, Sam, okay?
-I'm not giving you anything. -You don't have to.
You won't have to, okay?
The good people of the church will give,
and you just have to route 50K into this account.
You can tell your friends it's going to a good cause,
because if you don't, we're all dead.
Ricky's been watching you, and he wants you
to be his little plaything.
So maybe you're gonna wish you were dead.
And I don't know what's gonna happen to your friend Ruby.
V, you do not want to know how far Ricky's willing to go.
Okay?
[deep breath]
[tense music]
"Chastity, you need to be careful.
Hope of the beloved is not a safe place for you."
[line ringing]
[Ruby]Hey, what's up, V?
Hey, Ruby, I need to see you.
What, you can't leave.
I found another place, I'll let you know when I settle in.
You don't have other friends.
I can't put you in any more danger.
I gotta get out of town, Ruby.
What, Sam?
I can handle Sam.
Sam was loan-sharking with money from the mob,
and they know I blew his mark.
And now, this.
Someone's threatening me to stay away from the church.
They slipped it under your door.
Sam's just trying to scare you.
It's not Sam, it's worse.
And I just... I don't have enough on Dean.
I'm never gonna be able to prove anything.
I... I-I gotta go.
Just wait, please.
I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for me or your mom.
I just need you to... just wait.
Wait for what?
[footsteps]
How dare you.
I've been looking for you. Ruby was concerned.
You can both go to--
[Peter] We're investigating your mom's death,
and I'm willing to look into Dean Humphreys.
But you've got to let law run its course.
If you do this alone, you're putting people at risk.
You're a little late to start playing dad.
I'm playing detective.
[scoffs] You're late for that, too.
Look, I swear, I had no idea that you and I were...
connected.
Let me help you.
With Sam Hollingsworth as well.
I know you're in deep right now,
but we can work out a plea deal.
And if you can trust me enough...
Now, why would I trust you?
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
Wait, don't walk away from me!
Guess I learned that from you.
This is Chastity.
[Rachel]Chastity, it's Rachel.
Rachel, hi. You okay?
[Rachel]If you don't stop, someone's going to get hurt.
Yeah, more people will get hurt if we don't
hold him accountable, you have to come forward.
[Rachel]Find someone else.
I have to keep my daughter safe.
You don't know what he's capable of.
He had me thank him on live TV, and Heidi, she...
Sorry, what?
[Rachel] They're threatening our lives
and buying our silence.
Just promise you'll leave me out of this, please.
Yeah, yeah, I promise.
[exhaling deeply]
Fuck!
[knocking]
Hey.
I know you were looking out for me.
Sorry, I lost it.
I should have asked you first.
Now you can make it up to me.
One final thing, and then I-I promise
I'll take everything to Frederick.

Yeah, yeah, I...
I found your name on a list of potential victims

[Pamela]Okay.
Until someone is willing to go on the record,
the list will just keep getting longer.
Pamela, are you there?
[Pamela] Without clear damning evidence,
no woman can bring down Dean Humphreys own word alone.

Oh, I-I really thought I gave those back to you.
Please, check.
In the meantime, I can borrow LouAnne's.
Amir, would you help me with something, please?
Chas, can I just...
I know pride's a sin,
but I can't believe you wouldn't be here
if I hadn't followed after you that day.
I thought you needed Hope of the Beloved,

Next Friday, we'll be a worldwide church,

I-I never would have made it without you.
And I-I'm just...
I'm just so grateful for you.
Ah, I'm...
I'm really grateful for you, too, Kayla.
See you later.
[Gage] You okay?
Yeah, I need to talk to you.
It's okay.
Look, as long as you weren't the one that broke in
the other day, I think you're fine.
I, I did break in the other day.
[laughs] Okay.
[suspenseful music]
Wait, what?
Why?
You're gonna get caught, Amir requested
the security footage earlier.
Wait, he told you that?
No, my buddy works at the surveillance company.
Why would you do that?
[music continues]
What are you looking for?
I was looking for evidence on Dean.
He's been sexually assaulting vulnerable women
and blaming them for it for years.
[music continues]
Look, I know, I know, it's a lot.
But I need your help.
His last victim called me just a couple of days ago.
Who?
I, uh, I promised I wouldn't say.
Was it Rachel?
How do you know all this?
Um...
My mom died the night of Dean's welcome reception.
-I'm sorry. -And-and I just...
I know, I know that he had something to do with it.
She told me that she was his first victim
and he was a youth pastor or something,
and she went to him for help or...
or to confess, or I don't know, but...
But she called me that Friday night
from the payphone out front.
[tense music]
Wait, did she come inside?
What-what... Was she...
I don't know, but, um...
yeah, she had been living on the street,
in and out of shelters for years.
Yeah, I saw her.
She came in and she freaked out during the meeting and then...
My God, I'm so sorry.
Wait, do you think that...
Do you think that any of the security cameras
captured the payphone?
I can find out.
And maybe delay getting that break-in footage to Amir?
Mmm... Ethiopian food, who knew?
Yeah, my, my favorite foster mom
was Ethiopian.
God, I can't imagine what you've been through.
Yeah, it makes it a little hard to believe what you said
about there being good in everybody.
I guess it is a privileged perspective.
-[phone chiming] -He sent it.
Damn convenient your friend works there.
Yeah, God works in mysterious ways.
Someone scrubbed the internal server from that Friday,
but I was able to find a backup.
Open it.
Is that her? Can you zoom in?
Wait... there's no sound?
No, I don't think they capture audio.
[V] Wait a second, I have her message.
Okay, rewind.
From there.
[Monica] Sweetheart, it's, um...
It's mom.
Monica.
I need to see you tonight.
V baby, he's back.
After all this time, and he knows I know
who he really is and what he's done.
I may have been the first,
but I-I've tracked him all these years
and I know I wasn't the last.
The truth will set you free.
But it'll also piss a lot of people off.
Reputation is everything to them,
and I know he'll stop at nothing, but I can't.
[gasping]
It's time you know the truth.
It's time you knew what really happened.
You deserve the truth.
[panting] I have to go, I love you.
I've always loved you.
That last part's a little... Sorry.
[inhales deeply]
Then she just walks away without hanging up.
[Monica]No. [Dean]It's okay.
[indistinct chatter]
It's still picking her up.
[indistinct chatter]
Pause it, I could...
I could barely hear them.
Yeah, I have headphones.
Okay.
[Monica screaming]
[Dean]It's okay, it's okay.
I'm not trying to hurt you.
Do you know who I am?
You may have forgotten me.
Monica, you broke my heart.
You destroyed my life!
You will... you will pay for what you did.
You will rot!
I loved you, I never wanted to hurt you.
And by God, I've tried to make it right.
Do you see me? Do you still see through me?
Because I'm nothing more than a whited sepulcher.
Someone has to hold you accountable.
-Please let me help you. -No.
[Dean]Please let me help you.
[Monica]No, no.
[car door closes]
How much?
There's not enough money in the world.
You all have a price.
Don't they, Dean?
Here.
That should be enough to make someone like you disappear.
Amir.
No, no, no.
[screaming]
No, you don't have to do this, that will hurt her.
[screaming]
Don't touch it.
She doesn't deserve this, don't hurt her.
You already did.
[mellow music]
What the hell is a whited sepulcher?
It's a tomb.
It's white stones on the outside,
but on the inside is a rotten corpse.
-A hypocrite. -God.
-If I had answered the phone-- -Don't, don't.
What-what could you have done?
Hey, you can't tell anyone about this.
We have to tell the cops.
No yet, not yet, because they could blame Amir.
Dean could blame Heidi.
I just... I need more time.
What are you gonna do?

[Dean] Consider this your personal invitation.
[muffled chatter]
...adjustments for the stills?
Uh, you know, we're...
We're all good, Jose, thanks.
All good, thanks to you, kid.
Well, you must be excited.
-Seeing it all come together. -Definitely.
I knew I had to light a fire underneath you,
even I'm impressed by this.
Thank you, pastor.
You know you can call me Dean, right?
[Jose] Sounds like we have a mic issue.
Can I get hands on Dean's mic?
You know what, don't worry about it.
I got it.
Would you mind?
[tense music]
Could we get some content interviews today?
In your office?
Well, of course.
Anything for the cause.
Jose, you have one more take.
[Jose] Okay, let's go.
Just gonna move this out of the way
so we can see you.
Yeah, that more personal feeling is nice.
People wanna see the real you.
No one knows the real me.
Oh, did you get the talking points that I sent?
Let's sit for a while before you call action.
You've been so patient waiting for us to chat.
[chuckles]
What's wrong, Chastity?
[chuckles]
Um...
Sometimes I suffer from... thoughts.
What kind of thoughts?
Impure thoughts.
-Sexual thoughts? -I'm so ashamed.
Master, what are you doing?

Stop it!
Stop! Stop it!

-Yeah, I couldn't. -Bullshit!
I-I don't... I, I should kill you.
Go ahead, go ahead, because if we don't pay them,
we're all dead anyway, do you understand?
Look, I can get it from the pastor,
I have video of him attacking me.
He's not gonna give you shit, V!
Plus, a list of victims and hush money payments
and evidence, evidence of linking him
to my mother's murder.
Do you really think a guy like that's gonna let you
push him around?
Wake up, V!
The money's gotta come from the church, okay?
We're out of time!
We're out of fucking time!
Okay, I will get the money.
Friday night.
There's a livestream, and they'll have
another 200,000 viewers.
That's a lot of cash offerings, okay?
Just give me till then, and...
and then I will pay Ricky with interest.
Plus, have enough left over to get all of us out of this
for good.
How much?
250K.
[dramatic music]
250K?
Okay?
[gasps]
-Friday night. -Mm-hm.
You're crazy.
I am so sorry, Ruby, I am so sorry.
Are you really gonna take that money, V?

possible through your generosity.
Chastity!
Our star intern.
Now come over here, Chastity!
Why don't you tell us what Hope of the Beloved
means to you?
Oh, I will never forget this place.
Pastor Dean has touched me in ways
I never could have imagined.
And all the work Heidi does--
[giggles] Oh, it's not about me.
We'll let Chastity get back to work.
We'll see you out.
Like I was saying, our message is too big for local cable.
It's time for us to take it global.
So, please share the link with your friends and...
[phone chimes]
[sighs]
Pastor's work is never done.
We are so happy, we can buy...
[indistinct chatter]
What the hell is that?
Remember what you said about the truth?
Where the hell did you get these images?
I think you mean video.
Oh, you tricked me.
You assaulted me.
[Dean] Oh, is that what you call it?
Help me with my impure thoughts, pastor.
Dean.
I'm disappointed.
I thought you were smart enough to play the long game.
I can walk you through everything I have
on both of you.
But I need $250,000 wired into this account by Friday.
Whatever you have on Dean,
the most you're getting is 5,000.
Seventeen women have agreed to come forward.
We know that you broke in and that you stole money.
I know what happened to Monica Whitman.
[chuckles]
I don't know what kind of crusade you think--
I know you killed her.
You killed my mom.
And I have the video footage with audio to prove it.
Wire the 250K by Friday,
or I will ruin you both.
Amir.
[LouAnne] Heidi, Dean,
I need to borrow Chastity for a moment.
Unfortunately, Chastity has just given her notice.
I'll be walking her out.
How do we know you won't leak it
after we give you the money?
You don't have a choice.
I never meant to hurt your mother.
And I never meant to hurt you.
But you just don't understand, do you?
What have you proven?
That I'm unfaithful?
I'm weak, like other pastors, I fell prey to the flesh.
I have video proof.
I mean, how non-consensual is it when you set up
a hidden camera?
Fuck you.
Look, I'll confess, and I'll be forgiven.
And if it ever goes to trial, well, then,
I'll just say that, you know, Heidi, blinded by jealous rage,
turned Amir even against me.
Well, that's right, you have a list, right?
I assume that list is of documented charity recipients
who have far too much to lose
to risk coming out against me.
You see, you can't see it now, but you and Rachel
and all the others, you'll come to see.
This is a battle you can't win.
So here.
Take the 5K,
because if you drop this bomb...
you're gonna need it.
[door closes]
[Ruby] Dean can't win.
[V] If I turn it all over to Frederick,
maybe he can make a case against Dean and Heidi.
But without the money,
even he can't protect us against Ricky.
Look, you have to come with me.
V... V, I love you.
I love you, but running away into the sunset
isn't reality for me.
That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying...
[exhales sharply]
-Of course it's you. -Verity, please.
It's about your mother.
Can I come in?
I didn't have proof.
So, when Dean took over,
I just tried to keep young women away from him
till I could form a plan.
I was especially hard on you because I thought
I was going to keep you safe.
You reminded me so much of Monica.
When you mentioned your name to Judith, I...
I knew.
I'm so sorry, Verity.
What they did to your mother, I knew it was wrong.
I just didn't know how to speak up.
No, it's-it's not your fault.
You have your mother's heart.
I don't know how to tell you this.
Your drug test sample, I used it for a DNA test
to help me prove that you were Monica's daughter
and to help you find your father.
Oh, that, that's okay.
Actually, I'm...
I found my dad after my mom died.
Verity...
Dean Humphreys is your father.
[slow dramatic music]
-[groaning] -Okay.
[sobbing]
[mellow music]
[LouAnne] Well, you certainly have gotten yourself
into a mess with this Sam character.
I can help you escape, there's no shame in that.
But if you're willing to go to trial... together,
I know we can take these assholes down.
[laughs]
You're rubbin' off on me.
Get some rest...
and let me know.

I'm in.

I'm going to keep things business as usual

Peter, you're gonna get what you need
to arrest Dean, Heidi, and Amir.
Okay, search their homes, the church.
It has to be before Friday night.
And that's when that fuck-knuckle Sam
is expecting payment.
And it's a tight timeline.
Okay, what's the deal with this Sam Hollingsworth?
I mean, we need these girls to be safe.
Verity testifies against him and the others,
and we should have a plea deal.
No, until everybody is behind bars,
both of you are staying at my house.
Peter, you have sworn statements, footage,
recordings, a probable victims list.
More than you need to get everybody behind bars
before Friday.
He cannot go live.

You're supposed to be in hiding.
-What happens to the plan? -We just arrested Amir.
And we told everybody he was out sick.
But what about Dean and Heidi?
They're gonna figure it out, we have to...
V, the judge wasn't convinced we had enough to issue
a warrant against Dean.
His father was a fixture for this community,
we can't risk a weak case--
What more do they fucking need?
None of the women have issued statements.
Peter is worried about your plea deal.
I don't care about my plea deal.
LouAnne, we're starting and I need...

Everyone, I am sorry for this interruption.
Pastor Dean Humphreys is a--
This woman is a criminal, she has tried to seduce me,
she is not well.
I am guilty of stealing, committing fraud,
lying to good, well-meaning people.
But you, you sexually assaulted multiple women over decades.
This woman is a Jezebel--
Call me whenever you want, but 23 years ago,
you separated a pregnant young woman, Monica Whitman,
from her family and community
and then stood by while she was killed
to hide the truth.
Monica Whitman was my mother.
And you... are my father.
You are a liar.
These are lies!
-I am telling you! -DNA does not lie.
And these people deserve to know the truth!
This woman is a whore of Babylon!
I have sacrificed my life for this church!
Take me to the safe where they keep the cash.
Lies! Everything that I have, I have...
-Ugh! -[grunting]
[dramatic music]
[gunshot]
[screams]
[crowd screaming]
You thought I would let you do this to me?
You seduced me just like your mother.
[Peter] Put down the guns!
Put it down!
You can't silence all of them, Dean.
And you...
turning my father against me years ago.
You've been after me this whole time!
I will see you in hell.

Yes, I am still a little mad that you thought

Oh, let it go, LouAnne.
Detective Frederick was just giving us the good news.
Yeah, it turns out admitting guilt
and being threatened on worldwide streaming
can-can go a long way in clearing a sentence.

Providing testimony against multiple witnesses
helps too.
All right, everybody, let's get inside, okay?
