- I'm not a religious man,

don't go to church much.

But I did when I was a boy with my mother.

I remember hearing a lot about forgiveness.

Forgiveness being the mark of a spiritual man.

Can't speak for anybody else,

but I sometimes find forgiveness pretty hard.

If you hurt the people that you love,

how do you forgive yourself?

- [Joseph] Is everything all right, ma'am?

You need some help?

- Oh yeah, I'm fine.

- No, no, no, no, I'm not giving you a ride.

I can tow your car back to the shop

to take a look at your radiator,

and it's gonna take some time.

(car engine growling)

- I'm sorry, can you track me to school?

I need to go to Holmes Community College,

I have finals today.

I can give you money I can't be late.

- It's okay, it's okay, come on.

(car engine growling)

- The keys are in the car.

Thank you so much.

- You are so welcome.

(car engine growling)

I'm Joseph, Joseph Jenkins, I'm a pastor.

So what's your name?

- Brittany, Brittany McCleary.

Thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

- I really, really appreciate this,

I can't be late for class.

- What are you studying?

- Nursing.

- Nursing, that's great, that's great.

They never have enough help in the hospitals.

- Well, I like helping people, especially the elderly.

(gentle music)

- Wow, God will continue to bless you because of it.

That is, if you believe in the Lord, Jesus.

How is your relationship with God?

- Well, to be honest,

I'm sorry pastor, I'm just not that religious.

(dramatic music)

- Ah!

(Vivica groaning)

- You do know religion has very little

to do with your relationship with the Lord.

(Vivica panting)

(phone buzzing)

- Excuse me.

(phone buzzing)

- Hello, pastor Jenkins.

- Hey baby, it's me, I just, I think it might be time.

- Slow down, slow down, what?

- It's just really? - When?

(fast paced dramatic music)

- I don't know, I didn't time it's just.

Oh, it's coming, another one is coming!

- Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm on my way.

(dramatic music)

(Vivica groaning)

- Oh my god!

- Hey, hurry up, hurry up!

I'm sorry, but just!

(Brittany screaming)

(loud banging)

(bells clanging)

- [Judge Williamson ] Your witness counselor.

- Miss McCleary, when and where was your statement taken

by the officer on the scene,

when you use the words,

"Hysterical and reckless," according to the prosecution?

- Well, I was right there on the side of the road,

right after the accident.

But I didn't use the word recklessly,

I said that he was speeding.

- And what was your emotional state

at the time you were questioned?

- I was crying and stuff,

and I don't really remember much from that day.

- Thank you, no further questions, Your Honor.

- [Judge Williamson] You may step down.

(somber music)

- Hello?

- [Caller] Hey, what's up?

Man, where the hell are you, man,

I've been calling you all morning?

- I know you've been calling me all morning, man.

I'm in court, that's why I ain't been answering my phone.

- [Caller] You're in what?

Wait, court where.

- I'm in Canton, okay.

I'm in Canton in the courthouse.

- [Caller] You're in Canton.

That's not out of our jurisdiction,

does cap know that you're in Canton?

- Don't worry about it,

and don't worry about the captain neither.

Just go handle what you need to handle,

and I'm gonna be back later.

- It is now your responsibility

to decide whether Joseph Jenkins

was driving irresponsibly and recklessly,

causing a fatal accident and taking three innocent lives.

Or if he was driving a vehicle

that should have been recalled due to faulty break lines,

causing break failure,

and in turn this tragic, tragic accident.

Now, I submit to you that this was not vehicular homicide,

it was an accident.

This could have happened to any one of us.

Joseph Jenkins is a well respected,

revered, highly exalted man in Canton.

You can't send this man, with no prior criminal history,

to prison for a manufacturer's defect.

The defense rest.

(dramatic music)

- We will take a recess while the jury deliberates.

Jury foreman will notify us

when a verdict has been reached.

(gavel banging)

This court is now in recess.

(lively music)

- Hello, I'm Kathy Conway reporting live

from Madison County Courthouse,

covering the trial of another community leader

charged with vehicular homicide.

Local Pastor Joseph Jenkins is a loved

and respected voice here in this small town.

Much like Councilman Henderson's trial,

100s have gather to show support

despite the loss of innocent lives.

After a long day of testimony,

the jury is now in deliberation.

We are all patiently awaiting a verdict, Dave.

(dramatic music)

- [Judge Williamson] Has a jury reached a verdict?

- We have, your honor.

- [Judge Williamson] Will defended please rise.

(bells clanging)

- We the jury of Madison County find Joseph Robert Jenkins,

not guilty on count one of vehicular manslaughter.

(upbeat music)

(audience applauding)

Not guilty on count two of vehicular manslaughter.

Not guilty on the count three of vehicular manslaughter.

- Silence in the courtroom. (gavel banging)

(audience applauding)

(dramatic music)

(car engine growling)

(dramatic music continues)

- Bernard, my main man, Bernard.

Need you to do me a solid.

Yeah, I need you to get me Brittany McCleary.

(dramatic music)

Nah, write it down.

I want her last known address.

And I want her last 10 arrests,

I don't care how far back you gotta go.

(dramatic music)

Yeah, yeah, that girl (indistinct).

The case is Canton.

Got it up in front of you?

All right, Zach.

Okay, send me the hard copy, and email to my home address.

Thank you.

- [Woman] Oh, yeah.

- [Stu] So anyway, what about dinner tonight?

- What time? - Seven o'clock.

- Ooh, can't do it.

- Okay, massage this weekend.

- Which day? - What day works for you?

- Maybe Saturday.

- How'd it go?

They let him walk.

- Yeah, they let him walk because it was a car accident,

you can't get all bent outta shape, Herb.

- Maybe, maybe it was an accident.

You know what gets me?

This right here, this is what gets me.

- And what's this?

- This is a hooker, that's what this is.

- Okay, so hooker and?

- And she was in the car with him.

- They were probably getting high.

- Oh great, so now I'm playing baseball with you.

What about our assignment?

- Done, finish with it!

- [Joseph] Are you sure?

- [Samantha] I'm positive.

- Okay, what should we do?

- Nothing, there's nothing you can do.

This is something that should have never happened

in the first place.

Look, you do realize that when you agree to this,

you agree to relinquish many of your duties.

(phone buzzing)

Look, I'm here to help you in any capacity I can,

but you cannot continue to put us,

the church, and yourself in jeopardy.

Look, I care a great deal about you, Joseph.

And I just don't want one good deed

to be the cause of your demise,

and I'm gonna do everything in my power

to make sure that it isn't.

But we cannot have any more mistakes like this.

- Crap.

(dramatic music)

(detective Herb chuckling)

- I'm gonna get you.

- Get in, get on top of daddy.

Oh, I'm gonna get you too, I'm gonna get you too.

Get down here, get down here.

I'm gonna tickle you, I'm gonna tickle you.

- Can spell it on, I'm gonna tickle you.

(children laughing)

I got you, girl, I got you.

(dramatic music)

- I can smell it on your breath.

- Every time, what are you saying to me?

- I don't want you around the kids.

- I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk!

I'm not going through this with you

every single night, girl, every!

Get back here!

Where are you gonna go?

You're gonna go to your mother's?

(tires screeching)

(cars crashing)

(sirens wailing)

I love you.

I'm sorry.

- So you wanna take me out?

- Yeah you know, just tell me where and when.

- Let me think about it.

- Okay.

- But I hope this helps.

- Oh, it will.

- Keep it secret.

- Yes, I can keep a secret.

(police officer hushes)

(upbeat dramatic music)

- [Joseph] Blessings are released through faith.

- A5, six, five.

- [Joseph] Blessings get manifested

in the present by faithfulness, it's given.

(gentle music)

- Yeah, girl, you gave me everything I need.

Yeah, that's everything I need.

Yeah, absolutely.

- I don't even believe that's true, it's already proven

that most women are chemically are imbalanced.

So how could they be so?

(faint voice from the policewoman)

- [Stu] That doesn't mean they're smarter than men.

So it's a certain kind of woman.

- Mash, how are we looking on the home invasions?

- Well, actually we got two arrests.

No, we don't, we have nothing.

- Nothing, it's been more than damn two days.

- Hey captain, take a look at this.

- What is this?

- This is the girl that was riding with that pastor

that killed that entire family in the collision.

Now, I pinched this girl more times than I could count

off Glanton Street when I was in Vice.

He ain't no pastor, he's a John.

- So?

- So it's more than a fatal car accident.

- This has got nothing to do with my homicide department.

- Man kills three people with a hooker in the car,

ain't got nothing to do with this department?

- No, it does not.

- I tried to tell him that, captain.

- Do you realize I have got a man

that is looking for a chance to cut me loose.

Now, I need you two to start making some progress

or I am outta here.

And my guess is you won't be too damn far behind.

You think I'm playing?

- Oh no, I know you ain't playing.

There's a bunch of rich folks getting ripped off.

- What the hell is wrong with you?

22 homes have been invaded, $6 million in jewelry stolen,

two shootings, and a homicide!

And I got a mayor on my case.

Now, you bring me something on these home invasions,

and the homicide by Friday.

We understand each other?

- Yeah.

- Sergeant Moore, get the car.

- Captain, you know, it's a black holiday,

I don't work on Friday.

You know this Martin Luther King's Birthday?

- I can't believe you ain't backing me up.

- Good morning.

- [Congregation] Good morning.

- Praise the Lord saints.

- [Congregation] Praise the Lord.

- God is good.

- [Congregation] All the time.

- All the time.

We would like to thank everyone

for coming to praise with us, worship with us

and seek the word of God

here with us today at First AME Church of Canton.

(congregation applauding)

Now, as a result of the slow economy

taking its toll on all of us,

we have decided to make a separate fund,

specifically for those in need

of temporary housing, employment, or healthcare.

- Amen.

- That's why each Sunday we ask

that you make a separate love donation

to the church's special aid committee.

We thank you in advance for your kind donation or pledge.

And remember, we're only as good as what we give.

(congregation applauding)

(upbeat gospel music)

- Praise the Lord Saints.

- [Congregation] Praise the Lord.

- I said praise Lord, Saints.

- [Congregation] Praise the Lord.

- Oh man, you have to be careful what you ask my God for

'cause you just might get, amen.

- [Congregation] Amen.

- There was a time that Vivica and I

spent many nights fasting and praying

that God bless us with a child.

And look at us, not one but two.

- [Church Member] Bam.

(Joseph laughing)

- Oh God is so awesome

because He might not give you what you want,

but He'll give you what He wants, amen.

(laughs) We got an awesome God.

No, we have an awesome God, amen.

- [Congregation] Amen.

- He's amazing, please turn with me Proverbs 28:20.

Just gimme an amen when you get there.

- [Congregation] Amen!

- Amen, it's good, good, good.

The word of God says,

"A faithful man shall abound with blessings.

"But he that make it haste to be rich,

"shall not be innocent.

"A faithful man shall abound with blessings,

"but he that make it haste to be rich,

"shall not be innocent."

- [Man] Amen, amen.

- You may be seated.

Sometimes to understand what God is saying,

you have to understand what He is not saying, amen.

- [Congregation] That's right.

- If you're faithful and you pray, God will bless you.

- All right, that's right. - Yeah, yes

- But if you're not faithful and you don't pray,

you might get what you want.

You just won't keep it.

- Right, right, right.

- That's great, that's great.

You know how I used to play for your father in high school?

- He tell you that?

- Yes, he told me.

- He tell you how good I was?

- Oh.

- (laughs) Well, you tell him that we love him,

and we're praying for him, okay.

- I will, thank you, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- All right, bye guys. - You're Welcome.

- Bye Mont.

- Take care of her Monty, all right.

- Pastor Jenkins.

- Yeah, hello, how you doing?

- Herbert Lewis.

- Herbert Lewis, brother Herbert, okay.

- Yeah, I listen to your radio broadcast

practically every week.

- Oh, that's nice.

- Okay, thank you, thank you.

- Yeah, I just wanted to tell you,

you are very powerful and inspiring man.

Your show's really helped me

get through some very tough times.

- Wow, that's wonderful.

- Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.

- Yeah, I ain't really been to church in a long time,

but this doesn't really feel like church,

it feels like home (chuckles).

- Well, it is home.

It's home for everyone who loves Jesus.

- That's right. - Amen, amen.

(sneaky music)

- So how are you today?

- I'm great, how you doing?

- Blessed.

- How long have you been a member here?

- (snorts) Long time.

- So how'd you get lucky enough

to join this particular congregation?

- Oh my (indistinct) actually told me

about pastor Jenkins taking over down here a while back,

and needing some new staff, so here I am.

And I just need you to take a look at this,

it's a new members packet affirmation, so.

- Yeah, well y'all clearly doing

some wonderful refurbishing to this old church.

Everything around here is new and just beautiful.

- Yeah, pastor Jenkins has a long list of supporters

that allow us to rebuild and grow, so.

- I see.

- Oh, I'm forgetting, here is my business card.

And we do have an open door policy,

so if you ever need us, just give us a call.

- I sure will.

(dramatic music)

(camera clicking)

- Looking good, girl.

Daddy watching.

(dramatic music continues)

(feet tapping)

- Where are you going?

- Luncheon, yesterday I got called

about a big lunch for city officials,

they wanna honor us marking our 100-year anniversary.

- Oh, so I guess our date at the park

with the girls has just canceled, huh?

- I'm sorry.

Look, Vivica I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but I have to go to the luncheon.

I can't blow it off.

But I promise you in the next couple days,

we'll do the picnic thing, I promise.

- What about our meeting tonight with Dr. Jones?

- What?

- What about our meeting tonight with Dr. Jones?

- What time is that?

- Eight o'clock.

- Eight O'clock, we got a board meeting at seven.

But I'll meet you there right after.

- Okay.

- Okay, okay.

(somber music)

- Joseph?

- Yes.

- Dr. Banks cleared me to work.

- Work?

- Yeah, work.

I'm interview at consultant firm next week.

- An interview, what about the girls?

- Well, this position would allow me

to mostly work from home.

(somber music)

- We should talk about this later.

- No, we talked about this before I got pregnant.

Look, I'm solely looking at consulting jobs

because they'll give me the flexibility I need.

- Vivica, when we got married

you agreed to be a first lady and to start a family.

Whether do we ask, sweetheart?

We have a big, beautiful church

and two beautiful daughters.

- No, I agreed to be your wife.

(infant wailing)

I can do that, I can be a first lady and a mother,

and still have a practice, if I so choose.

And it's a shame that you don't think I can.

- What, I didn't say that. - Sometimes, I don't think

you don't even know who I am anymore.

- Okay, let's calm down. - No, mama's coming!

(infant wailing)

I mean, Since we first started dating,

I have supported every dream and goal that you have.

And sometimes I think you just appreciate me

for being some sort of submissive, subservient wife.

- That's ridiculous.

- Now, I'm an accomplished woman!

- Okay, darling, come here. - No, no, don't touch me!

- Vivica.

- Our marriage is seriously failing,

and you are just ignoring it.

(somber music)

You know what, just go.

Go, just go, I need to be alone.

(infant continues to wail)

It's what I'm used to.

(somber music)

- Deacon Walter Duke senior in attendance

was voted father of the month.

(everyone applauding)

- Praise the Lord.

- [Everyone] Praise the Lord.

- Amen, amen, I wanted to wait

until tonight's board member meeting

before I made this announcement.

I saw my doctor again last week about my stomach pain,

and had another colonoscopy.

And well, it looks like the cancer has come back.

- Oh, my Lord.

- Now, with this being my third operation,

(somber music)

I thought that now would be a good time

for me to step down as church accountant.

- I'm so sorry, deacon.

(dramatic music)

(door bell ringing)

- All looky, looky.

(camera clicking)

- I'd like to nominate our first lady.

I believe she is very intelligent,

and more than qualified to fill the position

if the deacon decides to retire.

- Yes, I can't disagree.

First lady is more than qualified, she's well educated,

and obviously knows accounting,

However, she did just give birth to our twin girls.

And well, I'm afraid that, that might interfere

with her duties as the church's CPA.

(dramatic music)

(camera clicking)

- This church has never had the first lady

responsible for handling the money.

- [Joseph] Yes, sister.

- With much respect to you, Deacon Bates,

this church has also never had a first lady with an NBA.

And it would be a shame for her and all other women

that she doesn't get that position

just because she's a woman.

- All those in favor, please say aye.

- [Everyone] Aye.

- [Joseph] Okay, Deacon.

- No.

- Deacon.

- Hey Joanie, how you doing, girl?

I need you to run a plate for me.

You ready, Sam, Zebra, Kansas, three, one, two.

Again, Sam, Zebra, Kansas, three, one, two.

You got it?

I'm gonna call you back in about 30 minutes.

- I would like to start our session today,

where we left off last week.

We were having a discussion on forgiveness.

Two key ingredients to a healthy marriage

are forgiveness and compromise.

If a person thinks that their partner will not forgive them

or is unable to compromise,

then they are hesitant to be completely honest

and this creates a lack of trust between them.

You agree?

- Exactly.

- Well, you're both a little bit guilty of this.

Joseph, why don't you start?

- (chuckles) Before we got pregnant,

I found your birth control pills.

(somber music)

I never said anything about it,

even though it went against everything I am.

Went against everything I thought we believed.

But truly I think I just didn't say anything about it,

'cause I wanted to see how long it would be

before you told me.

- Oh, so you just said-

- Vivica, you need to listen,

and then when he's finished, it'll be your turn, go on.

- Well, first of all, I wonder (chuckles),

once we did get pregnant,

I was so happy about being the father that I just let it go.

No, Vivica, I really, I just let it go.

- Joseph, we're here to learn how to communicate better.

That's the point of all this,

so just shrugging it off and saying it's okay,

it defeats the purpose.

- No, what I'm saying is, it's in the past, and it's gone.

- Joseph, come on.

- Okay, well I knew God would-

- No offense at all to your beliefs,

but let's leave God out of this.

What did you feel?

(somber music)

- I felt betrayed.

(phone vibrating)

- Just turn it off, completely off.

- That's strange.

Another important moment interrupted by work.

(somber music)

(doorbell buzzing)

- [Woman] Yes.

- Yeah, I'm here to see Thomas McKenzie.

- [Woman] Pastor McKenzie?

- Oh yeah, Pastor McKenzie.

(door knocking)

- Come in.

- Pastor, someone's here to see you.

- Oh, praise the Lord, how can I help you?

- How you doing pastor?

Herb Lewis, Jackson PD homicide.

- How you doing?

Pastor McKenzie.

- Nice to meet you.

- You mind?

- No, no, no, go ahead, have a seat.

Can I get you something to drink?

- Oh no, no, no, I'm fine.

- Okay, I hope I can help you detective.

Oh yeah, you recognize this young woman here?

- I can't say that I do.

- You don't recognize her?

How about now?

(dramatic music)

- Oh my.

- Yeah, I thought you might remember.

- Yeah, now that I think about it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I counseled her.

I counseled her, this young woman,

this young woman has been through a lot.

- Yeah, I know.

- Where'd you meet her?

- Where'd I meet her?

Wait a minute, what is this?

Am I under arrest?

- Oh no, no, no, no.

But I'm sure your wife and your church

would love to see what really happens

after prayer meetings every Thursday night.

(dramatic music)

- All right, all right, what do you want?

- I want to know where and how you met her?

- On the internet.

- I came across a website.

- Now show me.

♪ Guilty by association that's a lie, liar. ♪

- Everything is going to change,

no more picking up girls off the street or bars.

Everything is digital.

There's a lot of sites out there.

I like this site because it's an exclusive site,

it protects your identity and all your billing information.

You can have whatever you like,

Cuban, Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Dominican.

They got some fine sisters.

Chocolate, red bone, petite, Arab ladies, French, German.

They got some blessed and highly favored Asians,

short ones, tall ones, athletic, whatever.

These girls are not street hookers anymore,

they're college students, dental assistants.

Girls you might see at the gym, or coffee shop.

And they must be screened and tested by (indistinct).

- Okay, so once you find a girl you like, then what?

(upbeat music)

- You pick your service, your make your payment

and she will text you the address.

(upbeat music)

- Payment, how do you do that?

- With your credit card.

(upbeat music)

- No, I think we need to buy the land

from the city auction.

All right, build the parking structure.

- [Blair] We need to get preapproval for a loan first.

- Don't worry, I'll get us a loan.

- [Blair] From where, Joseph?

We're talking about a million dollars.

- Nothing's too big for our God, okay.

Plus we need the land, and we'll get it.

We can build a little playground too for us

and the whole community. - Yeah.

(door knocking)

- [Joseph] Hey Monty, come on in.

- Oh, I'm sorry if I interrupted, I can come back.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

- Hey Blair. - Yeah.

- Look, I'm gonna call you back, okay?

- Okay. - All right.

- Well, I'm sorry sister secretary,

but I kinda need to speak to the pastor in private.

- Oh okay, I'll get outta your way then.

Get my stuff, I guess I'll talk to you later, pastor.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay.

- Here have a seat.

All right, so what's up?

All right, did you make any decisions?

What you're doing next year?

- I'm in big trouble, pastor.

- What is it, come on?

- Tanisha is pregnant.

- What?

(somber music)

- She's starting to show.

- What?

- Okay, well, God never gives us more than we can handle.

It's time to grow up, to become a father and a husband.

- A a husband?

What about school?

What about football.

- Monty, you and Tanisha, you made some choices.

Now comes a time where you gotta make some sacrifices too.

Right, do the right thing.

In life, ready or not, there comes a time

where you have to choose, and do the right thing.

And the right thing is not always the easy thing,

but it's the strongest thing.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- Herb, what you doing anything so late?

- Try hunting.

- Oh good, damn sure needs something.

Don't forget, we got that meeting downtown

first thing in the morning, 7:00 AM sharp.

- Mm-hmm.

- Night.

- Good night boss.

(dramatic music continues)

- It's not the assets or tangibles

that we have that worry me,

it's the intangibles that we don't have.

- Okay, doesn't our marriage and the girls,

doesn't that satisfy you at all?

- Don't make this about the girls.

- What, the fact that they're not enough, it concerns me.

- This is not about you.

(somber music)

Look, when we decided to see Dr. Jones,

it was to address what most marriages suffer from, right?

Lack of communication and poor time management.

- I get it, I get it.

I was there the night we talked.

- Your commitment to Dr. Jones

is only when it's convenient for you.

That isn't gonna work Joseph.

Oh, she told us on many occasions,

if we wanna progress as a couple and as people,

then we need to see her together

and separately on a regular basis, regular.

- Okay, okay, can we just pause for minute, okay.

I just had long day. - Okay.

(gentle music)

(phone buzzing)

- I really wanna meet with a realtor today,

and talk about getting that second building.

- I don't wanna talk about that right now.

- You can't continue to ignore this

and I'm not gonna let you,

you do realize that, don't you?

Look, I need you to call

your city officials and political friends

and have them expedite the zoning approval

on the building so that we can finally register

that second business license.

- Samantha, Samantha, relax (chuckles).

We are doing fine, okay.

We're doing fine.

- Yeah, we are doing great, but that's besides the point.

Look, my concern is being in full compliance

with city and county ordinances.

We need another building, Joseph.

And a separate business license,

there's just no way around it, I'm sorry tiger.

(phone buzzing)

(door knocking)

- Hey.

- Deacon Bates.

- Oh, have a seat.

- Thank you.

(sneaky music)

- How are you?

Can I get you something to drink?

- No, no, no, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you.

- Well, I'm just here closing the books.

How can I help you?

- How are you feeling?

- I'm feeling great.

Well, I mean, other than I'm still waiting

on the IT programmer to roll out the SAP.

You are familiar with SAP?

- It's been a while, but I've had my fair share of audits

with companies that uses SAP, yes.

- Well, come on, let me show you

where you'll be working for the time being.

- Okay.

- Come on. - I'm right behind you.

- I guess it doesn't matter if it's only temporary, right?

- Well, I'll have someone clean it out for you this weekend.

- Thank you, Deacon Bates.

♪ You don't have any idea ♪

♪ I try to make it so simple and clear ♪

- Why are you calling me?

- I need you to help me with the surveillance again.

- No, I can't make no surveillance.

- No, no, no, no, I'm not doing no summary report.

No, we do the summary report in the morning.

- Come on bro, back me up on this.

- I got to go.

(dramatic music)

- I guess it's just me and you, pastor.

Come on, stand up.

Now, this ain't gonna take more

than two or three minutes, huh?

(chuckles) Just so you know, that's a remote.

I'm gonna be listening to every word.

If I think you're misleading me or stalling me,

I will FedEx those photos to your wife and your church

first thing in the morning, you hear me?

- Can you please leave my wife and my church out of this?

I told you I would do it.

(dramatic music)

After this, you're finished with me, right?

'Cause I don't know how much more I can help you.

- Knock it off pastor.

Just go on in there and enjoy yourself

the way you do every Thursday night.

- Well, I'm glad everything's working.

- Yeah.

- He's a very smart man,

I wish he was a little more flexible, but.

- (chuckles) Well, he is very open to my suggestions,

so that's a start.

- Yes it is.

You need to apologize to Tanisha, your daddy, yourself.

I arrested you like seven or eight times

years ago on Gallatin Street, remember me?

You come a long way from the street walking.

What brings you to Canton?

- School, I'm a full-time college student.

- And escort.

- I'm sorry, but I'm not an escort.

- Oh yeah, who's this?

- He's a friend.

Look, you don't have anything on me, I have many friends.

And I've never received a dollar from any of 'em.

- Oh yeah, I know that's 'cause they all prepaid

by credit card over the internet.

- (laughs) You're wasting your time, detective.

You don't have any record of me receiving anything.

- Oh really?

Well, Pastor Mackenzie gave me the same number

as your other 60 year-old-friend.

And Mackenzie tell me

that he pays in advance by credit card over the internet

then he texts you at this number.

And then you text him right back with all the details.

- I don't have any idea what you're talking about.

- You don't know what I'm talking about?

Is this your cell phone?

- Yes.

- Let's see.

(dramatic music)

- Can I go now?

- You got no cell phone in here?

- What are you talking about, Jesus?

(dramatic music)

I got your text, pastor.

- [Caller] What the hell are you talking about, Herb?

- I got everything I need, except the warrants.

Just get me in a room with this guy,

or any of these people and it's a done deal.

- [Captain] Tomorrow okay!

Give my keys, man.

(dramatic music)

All right easy, man, come on.

Hey, get your hands off my face, smell like a drunk.

(somber music)

- The hell is wrong with you, huh?

Look at you, we're supposed to be out here

casing leads on a real case.

But you wanna run around getting drunk,

and follow some pastor

who got away with killing two kids.

- Got away with it, like it ain't nothing.

- And just like that Councilman

who got away with killing your kids.

What the hell is wrong with you, huh?

- They're doing business together.

They're doing development deals,

walking around like they're good citizens.

- Look at you, you look terrible.

- I just don't understand why cap ain't behind this.

He's a pimp, he's a pastor running whores.

- Because you ain't got nothing.

Prostitution is legal in Mississippi,

so what's the pastor doing that's illegal.

You ain't got nothing.

I mean, come on, think about it,

why would the cap ever stop prostitution?

I mean, think about it.

He's old, he's single.

When's the last time

you think you got a hold of some red snapper?

(both laughing)

He can go to the cat house anytime he wants.

- Wait a minute.

- Wait a minute, so the man of God has a cat house?

I mean, where is it?

It's gotta have an address.

The escort place, where's the place of business?

- Wait a minute.

Wiki the word of law up on your phone,

Mississippi prostitution.

(somber music)

- Must have a place of business during the hours

when employees are working.

Where's the place of business?

- Wait, give me that.

- Uh-huh?

- That's it.

- They're operating a business without a place of business.

- You're pretty slick.

(dramatic music)

What you doing?

(dramatic music)

I'm coming for you, what you doing?

Here we go, got you coming right now.

(camera flicking)

Oh, baby.

(feet tapping)

- Hey. - Hey.

- Baby, who is JSE?

- JSE, they're the real estate investors I met in Miami.

They fund all the church's construction,

and additions, and everything.

- It's amazing how they've been able

to support the church during this economic crisis.

- Yeah, well, it's God at work.

(both laughing)

No, no, it's God at work.

It means you're not at work, there you go.

- So I've been thinking about starting a fund

for the family members of victims killed by car accidents.

You think they'd be interested in donating to that fund?

- Yeah, yeah, I think they'll love

to help the community anyway they can.

- Huh, hey, come here pumpkin.

It is our 100 year anniversary today,

so we need to go and do that celebration thing that we do.

- Oh that thing?

- And I think we can start early, doing that thing.

(Vivica laughing)

- This girl has major clients.

City planner, assistant district attorney.

- Another pastor.

This wasn't no coincidence,

That girl didn't just happen to be with Jenkins, Uh-uh.

I ain't buying it.

- So what, you want me to call a judge,

get him to issue an arrest warrant

for an investigation of a prostitute?

- I need to bring her in for questioning, she will bend.

- You got no evidence.

You got an audio tape of her having sex with a preacher

without any exchange of money.

- These girls don't accept cash, boss.

It's all done over the internet.

- Where is the hard evidence?

All right, say I call the DA,

and he says, "You got no case."

Then you got no case,

and we put this mess to bed, understood?

- I think he's got something here, cap.

I mean, trust him.

- Just trust him.

Stu must stand for stupid.

Stu, I trust my mother, but I cut the cards.

Now, get the hell outta my office.

- Okay, but you gonna gimme that warrant, right?

- Both of you, move!

- I love you boss.

- I love you.

- I love you, you're special man.

- I'd be walkin if I were you. - You're special, man.

- Thank you.

- I don't even know how you make captain,

you're a special man.

- He has brought Canton new jobs, healthcare, housing.

This man has left a mark on this city y'all,

that will last another a 100 years.

Put your hands together and welcome Pastor Joseph Jenkins.

- Thank you.

- Appreciate it. - All right, all right.

Bless you, all right.

- Go ahead Pastor, go right ahead.

- Well, that was right on time (laughs).

All right, praise the Lord.

(everyone applauding)

(faint chatter)

- Oh, Lord this mighty grand.

- Man, it's so good.

(Joseph and Vivica laughing)

Deacon, where'd Blair go?

- He went to Jackson to pick up his son, pastor.

He'll be back shortly.

I think you know who made this macaroni and cheese.

- Monty, y'all can sit down right there.

(faint chatter)

Y'all know Monty joined the army?

- Really? - Yeah, 11 more days.

- You're excited Monty?

- Yeah, I'm excited.

But I'm more excited about my, you gonna say child.

- Amen y'all, amen. - Congratulations.

- Thank you, ma'am.

- Ain't wasting no, no time, did he?

(everyone laughing)

- Praise the Lord, all right.

I'd like to make a toast.

To a prosperous and happy future.

- [Everyone] Amen.

- Amen?

- We thank you, Lord.

We thank you for your goodness.

You are a great God in every way.

We thank you for the healthy child

that you should be bringing the Duke family.

And I ask you father personally,

that you guide Monty in his journey in the armed forces,

that he return safely to his beautiful wife

and the new lovely child.

(dramatic music)

Father, we ask you to protect us with your angels now,

keep us in your bosom, and in Jesus name.

- This is the police.

Everybody stays seated, do not move.

(dramatic music)

Sit your ass down!

- Excuse me, excuse me. - Here, right there, Stu.

- Sit down. - This one and this one.

- (indistinct) What's going on?

- I was gonna ask you the same thing,

you just don't look good, Pastor.

You're under arrest.

- For what?

- For pimping and pandering.

Solicitation of prostitution,

so you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in the court of law, let's go, right here.

- Come on Deacon Bates, let's go.

(loud commotion)

Ma'am, ma'am, stand up please.

Ma'am, stand up. - I'm sorry.

- No, no, no this is a mistake.

This is not necessary, it's not.

Joseph!

- Joseph can't help you.

- You're under arrest.

- First AME church in Canton,

and this the terrible, terrible mistake, terrible!

- Make sure you advice (indistinct).

- I ain't never turned a trick in my life.

- Oh, I know, you just advertise

and accept money over the internet,

that's pandering and solicitation and prostitution.

And then you text message dates

to your clients and your whores,

and that's pimping, baby.

You done flipped it and got on top of the family business.

(chuckles) You're a madam.

You sure got them all hustled over there at first AME.

You selling those girls out into the same grimy life

you saw your mama go through.

Oh, you don't wanna talk about that?

Let's talk about now.

How about JSE?

Whoop, I'm thinking Jenkins Sanford Enterprises, hm?

Is this you?

You look good girl in an outfit

trying to rent the spot for JSE?

But you didn't get it, not in time.

And now you're gonna try money launder

through your nonprofit organization, a church, no less?

(feet stomping)

(chuckles) That's bad.

- Lets go, move it.

Move, come on.

(somber music)

- Listen, you are responsible

for the money that goes through that church,

and this has happened.

Fact, if you are not aware or involved in any way,

then just answer the question, sir.

- Sir, I don't know a damn thing

about prostitutes or prostitution.

I'd be very careful about the charges

and damages you bring against this church.

We got lawyers all over Mississippi

waiting to sue this city.

- Would you like to tell us about JSE?

- JSE are investors who have made additions

and contributions to our church.

- (laughs) Look, we believe that JSE is a front company

for the escort service.

- (chuckles) That's impossible.

- Your husband's a pimp.

And we believe he's stashing the money

in your church accounts.

- My husband would never do such a thing.

- Okay, book her.

You use your own church cell phone

to facilitate all your escort business?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- You think she kept you clean,

is that what you're telling me?

'Cause she dealt with all the grime and details.

(dramatic music)

- I think what I do for this community, is I supply jobs,

and I supply housing, healthcare, I do good.

- You do prostitutes.

- You know what?

You're just trying to fuck this whole thing.

This is about you coming into the house of God,

and you are lied, you deceive people and-

- You are the liar!

You scum in a fancy suit, turning these girls out!

And you got daughters!

Your legal escort operation and killing that family

met at a crossroads that day.

And it's my job to make sure you pay 'em both.

- Thank you.

Excuse me, excuse me, sir!

Attorney Blair Bates, I have bond releases here

from judge Patterson, releasing my clients immediately

from custody under their own recognizance.

Handcuffs.

(handcuffs shackling)

(feet tapping)

- Ah yes, it's me.

Where here, I'm home.

Yeah, he's here,

I'm gonna come and get the girls now, okay?

Okay, thanks, thank you.

- Can I say something?

- What, what?

Oh God, tell me this is just all a terrible mistake.

You did this, didn't you?

- Look just, it's what you think.

- Oh, Jesus. - It's not what you think.

- (weeping) Oh my God, Joseph.

- Just give me a second to explain.

- Don't speak to me!

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, can I explain?

Please explain, just please, let me explain.

- No, don't speak to me.

You know what?

I can't, I can't do this.

- Where are you going? - You disgust me.

- Baby, what are you doing?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- What do you mean what am I doing?

I'm leaving this place, is what I'm doing.

I'm leaving, I'm leaving you.

And I'm taking the girls.

(dramatic music)

- Vivica, Vivica, look at me.

- Let go, don't touch me!

(somber music)

- You can't just take the girls!

- Don't tell me what I can and cannot do with my girls.

(feet tapping)

(somber music)

- This is going too far.

He should be removed from his responsibilities immediately.

- Dad, we can't do that.

All right, now he's innocent until proven guilty.

- Innocent, you do not plan on representing him.

- Well, as the church's attorney,

my main concern is clearing the church's name,

and reputation, and everyone

who has suffered from these allegations,

including the pastor.

- Fine, then he's got some explaining to do

before he steps one foot back in our church.

- Agreed.

(phone beeping)

- Yeah.

- [Kim] Pastor Jenkins is here to see you.

- All right, send him in.

- You tell him we want him at that meeting tonight.

(somber music)

- Come on in, Joseph.

Kim, just hold my calls, please.

(somber music)

- So these are the monies

that funded all the building, additions to church.

And it's what we used to help with the new amenities

that the congregation enjoy.

And I do wanna say though,

that we invigorated this community's economy.

- With money from prostitution.

Listen, as your friend and as a member of the church,

I am shocked and hurt

that you would involve yourself with this debauchery.

But my professional opinion, is I think you can beat this.

All right, there's no money

and no evidence directly linking you to this operation.

I think we can win.

But if we go to trial, Joseph, it's gonna get ugly.

It's gonna get ugly for you,

your family, the church, everybody.

But there's an alternative.

- What's the alternative?

- Take a plea.

- Are you telling me to plead guilty?

- Yes, it's a misdemeanor.

Okay, you take the plea.

You plead guilty, everyone else is not charged.

And being arrested in Mississippi for prostitution

is like being arrested for peeing in public.

The worst they can do is find your couple of hundred bucks,

and you do a year in jail per count.

(somber music)

- So I plead guilty,

and Vivica, Deacon, and Samantha are not charged?

- I'll try, you want me to call them?

(somber music)

Kim, get me the DA, all right.

- Yeah, 11 days till my vacation, Herb!

Well, we're talking about The Bahamas.

Hold on for a second.

Good job. - Thank you.

- How are we looking on that home invasion thing?

- I got it.

Hey, I will get you some cigars.

- You got contact for me though?

(somber music)

- Joseph, you're a prominent,

well respected member of this community,

with an accomplished and devoted wife

who just gave birth to two beautiful twin girls.

Are the allegations I read about false or are they true?

- Some are exaggerated but they're true.

- Exaggerated but true.

- Truth is every emergency fund that the church received

in economic crisis came from me.

- Why did you manipulate and deceive

so many people that you love?

- Because how can you see somebody you love suffer?

I had to do something.

(indistinct) We were going everything.

We were gonna lose the church, doctor.

- Yes, but you knew what you were doing was wrong?

- Yes, I feel like I'm punished,

like I'm punished by God,

that's why I got in that accident.

- Well yes, the consequences of that crash

that you have to live with for the rest of your life.

Yes, those are truly profound.

I can only imagine.

But Joseph, I personally do not think

that there is any connection

between that tragedy and your actions.

Do you expect her to forgive you

because you've been caught, and now you're apologetic?

There are consequences.

And what we need to work on,

is how you're gonna live with them.

- My clients would like to accept the People's offer.

We agree to enter into a no contest plea

to multiple counts of prostitution sales,

if the prosecution is willing to drop all charges

against all other parties named in this case.

- Prosecutor's willing to drop all charges?

- Your Honor, the people are not willing

to drop the charges against Ms. Sanford.

- Under that condition, counselor,

the defendant Jenkins still willing to accept the plea?

- Yes, your honor.

But defendant Jenkins would like to make a statement

regarding that stipulation.

- Well fine, let's get on with it.

Defendant Jenkins, defendant Sanford,

you understand the charges against you?

- Yes, sir.

- Yeah, sure.

- Do you understand the plea agreement

you're gonna be signing today?

- Yes, sir.

- Yeah, sure.

- Ms. Sanford, do you like to say anything

before I accept your plea?

- No, your honor.

- Defendant Jenkins,

do you like to say anything before the court,

before I accept your plea?

- Thank you, your honor.

First, I would like to say that

Ms. Sanford is innocent of these charges.

I'm fully responsible.

I coerced her into doing impure deeds,

she was only following my orders.

So I asked for the compassion of the court, your honor,

for she does not deserve to be punished for my actions.

Secondly, I like to apologize to the city,

to the courts, to my church, to the community of Canton,

for failing your expectations of me.

I know history can't erase this day,

I only ask that it be remembered

as a turning point in my life.

And lastly, but most important,

I like to apologize to my wife and children

for all the embarrassment

and disgrace I caused them by my actions.

I just wanna say, I'm sorry, your honor.

- Defendant, Samantha Sanford,

I find you guilty of three counts of coercion,

sales, and solicitation to prostitution.

I accept your plea agreement made with the people of Canton,

and I sentence you to pay 10, $500 fines, totaling $5,000.

You're ordered to complete three years

of supervised probation.

And Mr. Jenkins, I find you guilty of 32 counts,

coercion, sales, solicitation to prostitution.

I accept your plea agreement made with the people of Canton,

and I sentence you to the maximum

three consecutive one-year jail terms.

(somber music)

(gavel bangs)

(somber music)

(dramatic music)

- [News Reporter] Local pastor Joseph Jenkins

pleaded guilty to several counts of pimping, pandering,

solicitation, sales, and prostitution in court today.

I'm here with detective Herb Lewis,

detective who played a major role

in the arrest and prosecution of pastor Jenkins.

- [Herb] I know it was very disturbing for a lot of people

to see a man like this with so much respect,

trust, power in the community

abuse that power and that authority.

But it was worth all the effort and time

I invested with my partner and our unit in this case

to see some justice served here today in court.

Everybody's gotta get past things,

and this is something our community will get passed.

We'll all get passed this.

(dramatic music)

(erry music)

(indistinct rap music)

- [Prisoner] Talk back, this no gangs.

- [Prisoner] Lying through the city, selling drugs and pain.

- I'm trying to save my people, save my community.

Getting this rap (indistinct).

Everybody else is doing boxing and I'm suing you all.

- All right yeah, that's it,

that's it right there.

Yeah, watch it.

When I come through, I come through with them hammers.

Then I got them plumbers.

Hey man, what you doing?

You don't see me writing here?

- I'm sorry, Joseph Jenkins.

- Man, I know who you is.

(somber music)

- Count time, on your bed, count time.

(faint chatter)

- [Prisoner] That's crazy, bro.

(faint chatter)

- Jenkins.

- [Prisoner] Wake up, man, wake up, man, count time.

Count time, count time, get up here crap.

(faint chatter)

Get up!

(faint chatter)

(loud commotion)

- Lock down, gentlemen, lock down.

(somber music)

- Hey, what you got going over there, pimp, huh?

- Just writing a letter.

- I mean, I see you over there writing all the time,

but you don't never get nothing back, so what?

Oh, I know who it is, huh?

Old lady, ain't having it.

I get it, I get it.

- She's my wife.

- Oh, okay, okay, okay, player, all right.

Hey, you know I'm from Canton, right?

And we would see you on the news every night.

I mean, you a called pimp (laughs).

- Excuse me?

- Look, look, I'm just saying, man.

Y'all preachers, y'all make some cold pimps, man.

I mean, y'all you give you congregation confidence.

I mean, you give them promises,

and at the end of the day you just take their money.

- How many times you see a Muslim coming in here to prison?

You see Christians coming here every day.

Pastor, huh?

(somber music)

- Vivica, may this letter reach you

in good health and spirit.

All the years of serving the community,

I never thought I would actually live,

eat, and sleep in the prison cell.

Most of the men here are searching for identity,

searching for answer, searching for love.

And I accept the duty to lead them to Christ.

When God called me to preach his word,

He didn't specify to whom or where I would share his word,

He just called me to preach.

And that's what I will continue to do.

It's been almost two months

since I've seen you or heard your voice.

I know I can never apologize enough

for all that's happening to you, to the girls.

But I am so sorry.

I didn't realize how publicized my case was

until I arrived here.

Everyone knew who I was

and chose to distance themselves from me.

A year later, these very men

have turned their lives over to Christ,

and now seek me for prayer.

I spoke with Monty today,

it was good to hear that he was doing well in Afghanistan.

I haven't received any mail from you

since I've been in here,

I understand that you are left alone

to deal with the consequences of my actions,

but please don't ignore me.

I've met ministered to more young men in prison in one year

than I did in my entire tenure pastoring First AME.

We can get through this if we communicate.

I finally got some mail today.

My heart almost stopped when I noticed

it was a petition for a divorce.

The Parole Board granted me parole,

and set my release date, I should be home in six months.

(somber music)

Father, you say in Hebrews 13:5,

that you will never leave me nor forsake me,

and you didn't.

You were with me every step I took

in this journey back to righteousness.

And now I ask you Lord, in your name

that you allow me the opportunity

to restore the very community I helped destroy.

To replenish the love and faith

that I lost with the people that I love.

I surrender all my power, all my authority to you.

Use me Father, allow me to co-labor with you

to win back the hearts of the young, lost,

and abused women in this community.

Not for my gain but for your glory.

I know you've forgiven, father.

But I ask you again, please forgive me Lord

for hurting my wife.

Forgive me, father for dishonoring the very gift

from heaven you gave me.

I love it Vivica, I have learned from my inequities,

and my vow from this moment forward

to honor You, her, our kids.

I will hold onto your word and I'll just trust You.

I'll trust you to heal my marriage,

and to heal the people I hurt

because I believe love will reconcile my family.

Love bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things,

and there's no torment in love.

And God, You are Love.

- Joseph, Joseph, baby, come to bed.

- In a minute.
