00:00:00,798 --> 00:00:05,539
This message is beamed down to 320 cable
channels from a satellite right up there,
2
00:00:05,564 --> 00:00:10,536
right close to God, with the I.G.G.
"In God's Glory"— message,
3
00:00:10,608 --> 00:00:14,510
which is: "Feel good! Send money!"
4
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:18,578
Why should you send money to me?
5
00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:22,518
Because when I preach and make
you feel good, I do it for the money.
6
00:00:22,587 --> 00:00:26,819
'Cause when you send me money,
I go out and I buy things with it.
I buy material things.
7
00:00:26,891 --> 00:00:30,812
Now, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about material things.
Let's talk about matter!
8
00:00:30,837 --> 00:00:35,260
Matter is made up of particles,
little tiny particles, which are
held together by an attraction...
9
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:38,131
no physicist in the world understands.
10
00:00:38,202 --> 00:00:42,070
No organic physicist, no theoretical
physicist, no physicist of any kind...
11
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,199
understands what it is,
but they know that it's there.
12
00:00:44,275 --> 00:00:48,268
They know that all
the subatomic particles in the universe
are held together by this attraction,
13
00:00:48,346 --> 00:00:50,746
by this kind of glue,
this superglue.
14
00:00:50,815 --> 00:00:53,943
People, God is the glue!
15
00:00:54,018 --> 00:00:58,011
God is that glue that holds matter
together, and...
16
00:00:58,089 --> 00:01:01,354
matter is material,
and materialism...
17
00:01:01,426 --> 00:01:05,658
is the accumulation of matter,
and I love matter!
18
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:08,028
I love materialism!
19
00:01:08,099 --> 00:01:11,296
And I love this Italian silk...
20
00:01:11,369 --> 00:01:16,038
$750 piece of matter,
we call a jacket. :D
21
00:01:16,210 --> 00:01:17,774
No— No, Satan!
22
00:01:17,842 --> 00:01:20,193
Satan, I know what you want,
but you ain't gonna get it.
23
00:01:20,218 --> 00:01:25,145
No, you ain't gonna make
the Reverend Bill Bob Proverb
into some kind of phony hypocrite,
24
00:01:25,216 --> 00:01:28,732
because people know
Reverend Bill Bob Proverb
ain't gonna stand here,
25
00:01:28,757 --> 00:01:32,195
and he ain't gonna—
he ain't gonna be wearin'
sackcloth and ashes,
26
00:01:32,273 --> 00:01:36,801
and pretend to be
raisin' money to feed
the starvin' orphans in Rwanda,
27
00:01:36,878 --> 00:01:40,439
because the Reverend Bill Bob Proverb
is tellin' you right here, right now,
28
00:01:40,515 --> 00:01:44,952
and right up front that
I'm takin' all that money for myself.
29
00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:53,475
Resync By Chuck :D
30
00:01:54,929 --> 00:01:57,659
Hey! Darlin'!
31
00:01:58,666 --> 00:02:02,227
Checkin' it out.
32
00:02:02,284 --> 00:02:05,610
- Hey, mama, turn out your lights.
- Can you help me?
33
00:02:05,635 --> 00:02:08,202
How do I know what you want?
What you got?
34
00:02:08,276 --> 00:02:11,507
What I got is money, so don't
jerk me around, good-lookin'.
35
00:02:11,579 --> 00:02:14,309
Are you sellin', or not?
I got shoes—
36
00:02:14,382 --> 00:02:18,148
color TV, refrigerator—
[Indistinct]
37
00:02:19,787 --> 00:02:21,982
Unless you're lookin'
for some off-menu items.
38
00:02:22,056 --> 00:02:25,822
What I'm lookin' for
are Yellow Ghosts,
Blackbirds, Rainbows,
39
00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:29,556
and as much Vitamin "Q"
as you can stand to part with.
[Chuckles]
40
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:35,398
Mama, for $2,500,
I can put you on the fast track.
41
00:02:38,773 --> 00:02:42,800
It makes me feel dapper, it makes me
feel in control of my environment.
42
00:02:42,877 --> 00:02:46,005
This manicure cost me
$50, people.
43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,014
And that's just for the left hand.
44
00:02:48,082 --> 00:02:50,846
This manicure over here
on my right hand cost $50 too.
45
00:02:50,918 --> 00:02:54,354
I get manicured every day, people.
Both hands!
46
00:02:54,422 --> 00:02:57,357
And that's what
feelin' good is all about!
47
00:02:57,425 --> 00:03:01,555
[Congregation] Amen!
Amen! Feelin' good is all about
havin' a winning attitude!
48
00:03:01,629 --> 00:03:03,563
Yes, sir, it makes
you a champion!
49
00:03:03,631 --> 00:03:06,657
A champion in your job,
a champion in your work, whatever!
50
00:03:06,734 --> 00:03:10,363
It helps you accrue into your life
Memphis desks,
51
00:03:10,438 --> 00:03:14,636
designer refrigerators,
stereo TVs, microwave ovens,
52
00:03:14,724 --> 00:03:19,718
Cadillac motorcars—
Praise God, praise God, praise God!
53
00:03:22,234 --> 00:03:24,234
_
54
00:03:26,554 --> 00:03:29,546
Talkin' about speedway, mama.
55
00:03:29,624 --> 00:03:35,085
With what I got in here, you can win
a stock car race in your sneakers.
56
00:03:35,162 --> 00:03:38,131
So what'll it take to put me
in the winner's circle?
57
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:42,829
1,200 an ounce, times two,
plus some popperoos?
58
00:03:42,903 --> 00:03:44,837
We can even it out
at an even 35.
59
00:03:44,905 --> 00:03:46,853
Deal.
60
00:03:47,742 --> 00:03:53,044
Now, people, with every donation
of $50 or more, I will send you
my free pamphlet...
61
00:03:53,114 --> 00:03:57,346
which will teach you how to develop
the right attitudes to have success...
62
00:03:57,418 --> 00:03:59,716
and to feel closer to God.
63
00:03:59,787 --> 00:04:03,484
The pamphlet is called Developing
the Right Attitudes to Have Success...
64
00:04:03,557 --> 00:04:07,857
and Being Closer to God
through Materialism.
65
00:04:07,928 --> 00:04:11,022
And now, people, since I gotta go home
and take care of my sweet Leona...
66
00:04:11,098 --> 00:04:15,228
in our $1.75 million
Arquitectonica house,
67
00:04:15,302 --> 00:04:17,236
I wanna play one of her tapes—
68
00:04:17,304 --> 00:04:20,796
Leona singin' Wrapped Up,
from one of last year's messages.
69
00:04:20,875 --> 00:04:26,108
This is the Reverend Bill Bob Proverb,
sayin' good night from the I.G.G.
70
00:04:26,619 --> 00:04:28,594
Tune in tomorrow.
71
00:04:28,619 --> 00:04:31,741
[Singing, Indistinct]
72
00:04:31,819 --> 00:04:35,721
[Chattering, Laughing]
73
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:40,124
Oh, my God, my God.
74
00:04:40,194 --> 00:04:42,445
[Chuckling]
75
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:47,307
That stuff'll get you so high
you'll need a parachute to come down.
76
00:04:48,069 --> 00:04:52,130
Hey, look, sweet thing, I got a bonus,
'cause you're one of my special customers.
77
00:04:52,206 --> 00:04:55,471
You busted.
Good-bye street, hello jail.
78
00:04:55,543 --> 00:04:57,977
I've been to jail.
Jail sucks.
79
00:04:58,045 --> 00:05:00,377
[Tires Screeching]
80
00:05:00,448 --> 00:05:03,144
- Freeze!
- [Fires Pistol]
81
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,847
00:07:42,540
She's got no priors.
She doesn't live in the gutter.
103
00:07:42,626 --> 00:07:47,634
She was goin' for sale weight.
And that, sir, is a felony.
104
00:07:47,728 --> 00:07:51,550
Oh, no!
I'm going to hell!
105
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:54,319
Will you step
in my office, Wolcott?
106
00:07:58,856 --> 00:08:00,847
Oh, no.
107
00:08:03,513 --> 00:08:05,811
Knock it back to a misdemeanor,
I'll get her to plead.
108
00:08:05,882 --> 00:08:08,544
No misdemeanor.
She's walked on three other busts.
109
00:08:08,618 --> 00:08:10,813
This time, the felony sticks.
110
00:08:10,887 --> 00:08:13,856
If she pleads, we'll recommend
probation plus community service.
111
00:08:13,923 --> 00:08:16,858
- You have corroboration?
- Videotape surveillance.
112
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:20,915
[Sobbing]
I'm gonna burn in the fires of hell,
113
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:24,671
because the devil
was with me in that car!
114
00:08:26,636 --> 00:08:28,968
You were there— did you see him?
115
00:08:29,038 --> 00:08:31,472
The devil was in my hand,
116
00:08:31,541 --> 00:08:35,033
and the devil got into
my whole body,
117
00:08:35,111 --> 00:08:38,569
and what can you do
when the devil's in your body?
118
00:08:38,648 --> 00:08:43,312
What could I do?
The devil was in this body!
119
00:08:46,689 --> 00:08:48,623
[Crockett]
Amen.
120
00:08:48,691 --> 00:08:50,716
Actual money and goods
changing hands?
121
00:08:50,793 --> 00:08:53,557
- Actual transaction?
- No, video only. Audio glitch.
122
00:08:53,629 --> 00:08:56,928
But the intent, plus the testimony
of the arresting officer, Tubbs,
123
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,935
whose character is unimpeachable,
is good enough for me.
124
00:09:00,003 --> 00:09:02,767
Excuse me.
125
00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:06,404
[Whispering]
126
00:09:07,577 --> 00:09:10,137
This is gonna be
a public relation nightmare.
127
00:09:10,213 --> 00:09:13,182
It's gonna hang
on your testimony.
128
00:09:13,249 --> 00:09:17,997
Well, the way I see it, Leona should be
treated just like any other Jane Doe.
129
00:09:18,121 --> 00:09:22,251
Absolutely. Nobody's prosecuting her
because she's a public personality.
130
00:09:24,718 --> 00:09:28,350
Nobody walks on felony possession
because they've got their own TV show.
131
00:09:28,965 --> 00:09:31,229
We're filing.
The Reverend Proverb...
132
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,791
is not afraid to lash out
against injustice...
133
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:37,203
when his own ministry
and church and wife are accused.
134
00:09:37,273 --> 00:09:40,436
My bail's made.
Let's blow.
135
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:47,511
They've been swimmin' in the sewers of life
for so long, their souls are rotted.
136
00:09:47,583 --> 00:09:50,609
They sound like anybody familiar?
You got it.
137
00:09:50,686 --> 00:09:54,782
The Metro-Dade Organized Crime Bureau,
Vice Division.
138
00:09:55,654 --> 00:09:57,288
Vice!
139
00:09:58,261 --> 00:10:00,229
You know what vice is, people?
140
00:10:00,296 --> 00:10:04,096
Vice is doing it, or pretending you don't
wanna do it, when you really do.
141
00:10:04,167 --> 00:10:07,762
These hypocrites are persecutin'
me and Leona...
142
00:10:07,837 --> 00:10:10,635
because of our forthrightness,
because of our honesty.
143
00:10:10,706 --> 00:10:13,675
They have taken my fair wife,
your own sweet Leona,
144
00:10:13,743 --> 00:10:17,474
and they have thrown her into
the company of painted women...
145
00:10:17,547 --> 00:10:20,880
and opium smokers and worse!
146
00:10:24,003 --> 00:10:27,045
I'm sorry, people.
147
00:10:27,123 --> 00:10:31,651
Now, look, Leona and I are gonna need
to hire the best and the brightest...
148
00:10:31,727 --> 00:10:35,993
that can be bought to fight these snakes
in their own judicial system.
149
00:10:36,065 --> 00:10:39,762
Because good lawyers don't come cheap,
people, even when they're helpin'
servants of the Lord!
150
00:10:39,836 --> 00:10:42,396
So now, I am askin' you to dig deep.
151
00:10:42,472 --> 00:10:44,906
I'm askin' you to reach
deep into your pockets.
152
00:10:44,974 --> 00:10:46,908
Deeper than you've
ever reached before,
153
00:10:46,976 --> 00:10:49,376
and give the Angel of the Airwaves
Defense Fund...
154
00:10:49,445 --> 00:10:53,438
the money
it needs for Leona's defense.
155
00:10:53,516 --> 00:10:59,455
I want you to call
1-800-555-L-O-V-E,
and send what you can.
156
00:11:01,824 --> 00:11:03,815
Please, people.
157
00:11:05,294 --> 00:11:07,387
Help us.
158
00:11:09,632 --> 00:11:12,157
I want you to cut that
into tonight's message.
159
00:11:14,103 --> 00:11:18,233
Leona, all the money I've dumped
into clinics nationwide...
160
00:11:18,307 --> 00:11:23,006
for you to get a handle
on your drug dependency—
Damn it, woman!
161
00:11:23,079 --> 00:11:26,139
I thought it was all fixed when we had
your blood changed in Switzerland?!
162
00:11:26,215 --> 00:11:29,309
When I get that urge,
I can't control it.
163
00:11:29,385 --> 00:11:32,479
This is the last time, woman.
164
00:11:32,555 --> 00:11:34,614
You hear me?
The last time.
165
00:11:39,095 --> 00:11:41,928
[Sighs]
166
00:11:41,998 --> 00:11:46,196
A 17.63 upward turn in our satellite
service subscribers, Reverend.
167
00:11:46,269 --> 00:11:48,829
17.3, that's terrific.
It's good news.
168
00:11:48,905 --> 00:11:51,032
Hi, Reverend.
Hi, how are you tonight?
169
00:11:51,107 --> 00:11:53,041
Yeah, it's—
Bill Bob, I got the new Plumbicons.
170
00:11:53,109 --> 00:11:55,976
The cameras are all
dialed in if you wanna see
the difference in resolution.
171
00:11:56,045 --> 00:11:59,173
They'll read down to two foot-candles,
and we won't need all those lights.
172
00:11:59,755 --> 00:12:01,746
Good. That's real good.
173
00:12:03,085 --> 00:12:06,111
[Phone Ringing]
174
00:12:06,189 --> 00:12:09,386
Hello?
[Woman]
Patch through from Metro-Dade.
175
00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:13,121
- Are you Detective Tubbs?
- Yes, I am. Who is this?
176
00:12:13,196 --> 00:12:16,893
I know that you're the man
who arrested Mrs. Proverb.
177
00:12:16,966 --> 00:12:20,663
And it goes against my heart to do this,
but I have to reveal to you the truth.
178
00:12:20,736 --> 00:12:23,796
[Gasping]
See, I'm impelled by a spiritual force
deep inside of me,
179
00:12:23,873 --> 00:12:26,865
and it's bigger, deeper
than even what I can control.
180
00:12:26,943 --> 00:12:30,208
What are you smoking,
snorting or drinking?
181
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,247
Whatever it is,
I don't want any of it.
182
00:12:32,315 --> 00:12:34,977
This conversation's over.
No, please wait.
183
00:12:35,051 --> 00:12:39,112
They are gonna try to tell you
that she's innocent.
184
00:12:39,188 --> 00:12:41,418
But she's not.
185
00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:46,223
I know, 'cause I'm in the church,
and it's all part of a big lie.
186
00:12:46,295 --> 00:12:49,787
The big stuff that they're into now—
I can tell you, but I'm afraid.
187
00:12:49,865 --> 00:12:52,163
Detective, you're gonna have
to come here right now.
188
00:12:52,235 --> 00:12:54,328
Where are you?
189
00:12:54,403 --> 00:12:57,395
Are you the young lady
I talked to on the phone?
190
00:12:57,473 --> 00:13:00,067
Yes.
191
00:13:00,142 --> 00:13:03,407
Well, you got somethin' to say,
let's hear it.
192
00:13:03,479 --> 00:13:07,939
I'm late for a date.
See, it's very difficult
for me to talk about this.
193
00:13:09,619 --> 00:13:11,678
There's a bunch of us girls
who work down here...
194
00:13:11,754 --> 00:13:14,120
as ushers for the Reverend Bill Bob—
195
00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:16,818
and, well, all of us are runaways
from the street, you see.
196
00:13:16,892 --> 00:13:20,851
The Reverend Bill Bob and
Mrs. Proverb, they took us in—
helped us all real good.
197
00:13:20,930 --> 00:13:23,990
Yeah, so?
My name's Faye Nell.
198
00:13:24,066 --> 00:13:28,628
Uh-huh.
See, I must tell you the truth,
because I cannot lie.
199
00:13:28,704 --> 00:13:31,730
But in order for me to do that,
I have to betray my great
indebtedness...
200
00:13:31,807 --> 00:13:35,072
towards very good people,
and why, that just about
breaks my heart.
201
00:13:36,212 --> 00:13:39,579
[Screaming]
Help! Help! Oh, God, rape!
Hey!
202
00:13:39,649 --> 00:13:43,107
Rape!
Oh, help me!
Hey! Hey!
203
00:13:43,185 --> 00:13:46,780
Oh, help me!
Help me!
204
00:13:46,856 --> 00:13:49,518
Freeze!
Don't move!
205
00:13:57,191 --> 00:14:00,160
Oh, the great Internal Affairs
Investigator Stroh.
206
00:14:00,185 --> 00:14:03,484
Was it exceptionally slow
over there today, or what?
Very funny.
207
00:14:03,555 --> 00:14:07,184
We got her blood on his shirt,
a diversionary prowler report
to the watchman,
208
00:14:07,258 --> 00:14:11,251
and as far as I can ascertain,
no reasonable motivation
to set Tubbs up.
209
00:14:11,329 --> 00:14:15,390
No. How about the, uh,
Leona Proverb case, huh?
210
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:17,935
You ever hear of that?
Angel of the Airwaves?
211
00:14:18,002 --> 00:14:20,232
No, I guess that wouldn't have
anything to do with it.
212
00:14:20,305 --> 00:14:22,500
I wanna see my partner,
thank you.
213
00:14:22,574 --> 00:14:25,771
I got five minutes in the john, Crockett.
That's all the time you get.
214
00:14:25,844 --> 00:14:28,369
Sanchez, give 'em the room.
215
00:14:31,249 --> 00:14:34,650
So what happened,
you lose your phone book?
[Sighs]
216
00:14:34,719 --> 00:14:36,653
They sure jumped on this wagon fast.
217
00:14:36,721 --> 00:14:39,690
Oh, hell, Rico, they got nothin'.
They're fishin'.
218
00:14:39,758 --> 00:14:44,161
Yeah, they got a bruised teenager
pointin' a finger
at a black off-duty cop.
219
00:14:44,229 --> 00:14:46,493
Says I wanted to know her
in the Biblical way.
220
00:14:47,499 --> 00:14:50,627
No backup, no alibi.
This is a weird frame, man.
221
00:14:50,702 --> 00:14:53,569
The switchboard can confirm
that she placed the call.
222
00:14:53,638 --> 00:14:57,335
What the hell do they think,
one look and your libido
suddenly went critical?
223
00:14:58,476 --> 00:15:00,535
[Sighs]
If this wasn't you,
I'd think it was funny.
224
00:15:00,612 --> 00:15:04,048
It is me, and it's not funny.
225
00:15:04,115 --> 00:15:08,916
You know, guys with suitcases
full of money and drugs, I can understand,
226
00:15:08,987 --> 00:15:10,955
but bein' set up by a preacher?
227
00:15:11,022 --> 00:15:13,957
Uh-uh.
I'll tell you what else—
228
00:15:14,025 --> 00:15:18,015
Stroh doesn't buy the theory
that Bill Bob set this up
to take the heat off his wife, either.
229
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,132
Sorry, guys, recess is cut short.
These were just delivered.
230
00:15:24,835 --> 00:15:28,027
We lifted these off
the studio security camera videotapes.
231
00:15:28,106 --> 00:15:30,836
Hard to tell who's doin'what to who.
232

[Slams Fist On Table]
233
00:15:37,549 --> 00:15:41,451
[Crockett]
Those guys over at I.A.D.
Must be bored out of their minds.
234
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:45,922
This is the flimsiest excuse
for an internal investigation
I've ever heard of.
235
00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:48,652
Don't push Stroh.
He doesn't like you.
236
00:15:48,726 --> 00:15:50,819
If you wanna help Tubbs,
look under rocks.
237
00:15:50,895 --> 00:15:52,886
[Faye]
Never heard anything
like that in my life.
238
00:15:52,964 --> 00:15:55,489
You heard it on your Walkman radio?
Mm-hmm.
239
00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:58,035
Right over my little earphones.
I sure did.
240
00:15:58,102 --> 00:16:00,764
Just yes or no, please.
241
00:16:00,839 --> 00:16:03,273
The name Proverb came up
on a federal warrant a while ago.
242
00:16:03,341 --> 00:16:07,641
Get his tax history, daily activities,
contacts, habits, everything.
243
00:16:11,182 --> 00:16:13,173
[Handset Settles In Cradle]
244
00:16:13,251 --> 00:16:15,549
Has he ever talked to you before?
245
00:16:16,588 --> 00:16:20,115
[Sighs]
Not directly, no.
246
00:16:20,191 --> 00:16:22,716
[Technician]
Is that a yes or no?
247
00:16:22,794 --> 00:16:25,262
[Faye]
Oh, well, I guess—
I guess that would be a yes.
248
00:16:25,330 --> 00:16:29,164
You see, what he did is,
he told me to privately meet
with Detective Tubbs...
249
00:16:29,234 --> 00:16:33,830
and explain to him his mistake
in accusing the good Mrs. Proverb...
250
00:16:33,905 --> 00:16:37,102
of this absolutely terrible crime.
251
00:16:38,209 --> 00:16:41,406
Okay, Faye Nell.
252
00:16:41,479 --> 00:16:43,777
Thank you very much.
That's it?
253
00:16:53,024 --> 00:16:55,219
Hi, Sonny.
Hey, Lieu.
254
00:16:55,293 --> 00:16:58,694
What the hell was all that about?
That's about
the strangest one yet.
255
00:16:58,763 --> 00:17:01,630
Don't be cute, Lieu.
She say somebody put her up to it?
256
00:17:01,699 --> 00:17:03,633
Hey, Sonny, I.A.D.
Got a lock on it.
257
00:17:03,701 --> 00:17:07,501
Oh, come on now, Lieu. Listen.
Somebody's tryin' to put Tubbs'
whole career in a Cuisinart.
258
00:17:07,782 --> 00:17:09,909
You gotta help me get him out.
259
00:17:11,142 --> 00:17:15,545
I'll give you my Dolphins seats
for the next two games. Hmm?
260
00:17:15,613 --> 00:17:18,343
Come on.
Okay.
261
00:17:18,416 --> 00:17:21,146
She was a nut.
She's a fanatic.
262
00:17:21,219 --> 00:17:23,983
She believes she was raped.
You're kidding.
263
00:17:24,055 --> 00:17:26,523
Three games.
Three games?
264
00:17:26,591 --> 00:17:29,685
Why, you chiselin' little—
All right, fine.
265
00:17:30,695 --> 00:17:33,528
Proverb put her up to it?
Oh, you're not thinkin'
big enough.
266
00:17:33,598 --> 00:17:35,532
Bigger?
Uh-huh.
267
00:17:37,035 --> 00:17:39,526
God.
Over her earphones.
268
00:17:39,604 --> 00:17:42,664
God.
Through her earphones.
269
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:46,972
I'm serious.
She thinks this is real.
270
00:17:47,045 --> 00:17:49,479
She skated through the polygraph.
271
00:17:49,547 --> 00:17:53,142
You try to break her down,
you'll dig Tubbs in deeper.
272

Bill Bob Proverb.
You know, it happens.
273
00:17:55,733 --> 00:18:00,085
It had to be Bill Bob.
I had a guy once in purple robes.
He was picking pockets at the airport.
274
00:18:00,158 --> 00:18:03,594
So steady that you'd think
he was asleep.
[Chuckles]
275
00:18:03,661 --> 00:18:05,419
Passed with flying colors.
Okay.
276
00:18:05,444 --> 00:18:08,395
Except we had pictures
on him working.
We just gotta nail Bill Bob Proverb.
277
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,864
God told him that he could lie,
and he sure could.
278
00:18:10,935 --> 00:18:13,645
Get him to tell us how.
Somebody made that girl
believe the same thing.
279
00:18:13,670 --> 00:18:15,729
That's what it was.
280
00:18:16,925 --> 00:18:19,655
[Man]
I'm sorry, no,
I- I really just can't do that.
281
00:18:19,727 --> 00:18:23,993
I cannot implicate Bill Bob Proverb
in anything illegal.
282
00:18:24,065 --> 00:18:26,056
We do compete.
283
00:18:26,134 --> 00:18:30,571
I mean, I compete with him,
but only in the earthly sense.
284
00:18:30,638 --> 00:18:32,765
Mm-hmm.
285
00:18:32,841 --> 00:18:38,370
So, in the earthly sense,
his stats make him an all-star,
286
00:18:38,446 --> 00:18:41,904
while you're still
rakin' the field, so to speak.
287
00:18:41,983 --> 00:18:45,009
The truth is, and
don't quote me on this,
288
00:18:45,086 --> 00:18:49,785
I think he's a hedonist
and an overblown grandstander.
289
00:18:49,858 --> 00:18:52,190
As people, we couldn't
be more different.
290
00:18:52,260 --> 00:18:54,194
Help me understand this.
291
00:18:54,262 --> 00:18:56,958
Uh, you were his partner
10 years ago.
292
00:18:57,031 --> 00:18:59,966
Gimme the short course here.
What's his angle?
293
00:19:00,034 --> 00:19:04,801
His angle? Pleasure.
294
00:19:04,873 --> 00:19:08,809
Mm-hmm. Oh, when we were
young and full of grace,
295
00:19:08,877 --> 00:19:11,141
lucky if 10 people would listen
and wanted to come forward.
296
00:19:11,212 --> 00:19:13,146
He was happy.
297
00:19:13,214 --> 00:19:16,650
Now he is so obsessed
with his own celebrity.
298
00:19:16,718 --> 00:19:19,778
I just don't really know
what he's like anymore.
299
00:19:19,854 --> 00:19:22,482
He's got his own private
reserve of wayward girls.
300
00:19:22,557 --> 00:19:25,993
"Angels," he calls 'em.
301
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:31,726
And does he... have love for these girls
in the earthly sense, too?
302
00:19:31,799 --> 00:19:34,927
Well, you see,
303
00:19:35,003 --> 00:19:39,599
in an environment
lauding worldly success
and satisfaction now—
304
00:19:39,674 --> 00:19:42,438
That's one of
his books, by the way—
305
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:45,707
I'm not surprised what
happened to this girl, Faye Nell.
306
00:19:47,282 --> 00:19:51,548
But Jesus tells us to hate sin
and love the sinner.
307
00:19:51,619 --> 00:19:55,419
I'm sure Bill Bob's heart
is still pure.
308
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,859
[Chuckles]
Pure what?
309
00:20:02,497 --> 00:20:06,365
[Woman] I'm tellin' you, Sonny,
he grabbed the address
out of the file on Switek's desk.
310
00:20:06,434 --> 00:20:09,403
[Crockett]
Damn it, he's not supposed
to go anywhere near them.
311
00:20:14,075 --> 00:20:16,066
Not hardly.
312
00:20:16,144 --> 00:20:18,977
What I really wanna know is,
what kind of religion...
313
00:20:19,047 --> 00:20:22,073
says it's okay
to set up a phony rape charge?
314
00:20:22,985 --> 00:20:25,545
Not my religion, friend.
315
00:20:26,354 --> 00:20:31,417
No, Faye Nell Portis is blessed
to me, but she's hardly a card
I would play in a bad hand.
316
00:20:32,827 --> 00:20:36,377
Whatever you believe,
I didn't have anything to do
with what happened to you.
317
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:42,363
I suggest you get yourself
some therapy.
318
00:20:42,437 --> 00:20:44,837
It's probably work-related stress.
319
00:20:44,906 --> 00:20:46,999
Look, I don't need a shrink.
320
00:20:47,075 --> 00:20:49,873
What I'd like are some straight answers,
right here and right now.
321
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:52,504
Well, that makes two of us.
322
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:54,639
Maybe I should have my lawyers call...
323
00:20:54,716 --> 00:20:59,653
and find out why
a suspended police officer
is harassing me in my home.
324
00:20:59,721 --> 00:21:03,418
- I'm not harassing you.
- I hope you won't do that, Reverend.
325
00:21:03,491 --> 00:21:05,459
This is my partner.
326
00:21:05,526 --> 00:21:08,757
He knows he made a big mistake
by coming here.
327
00:21:08,830 --> 00:21:11,094
It won't happen again.
328
00:21:11,165 --> 00:21:13,292
I'll see to it.
329
00:21:14,369 --> 00:21:18,499
Well, forgiveness is not mine
to give in this situation, but, uh,
330
00:21:19,127 --> 00:21:21,118
perhaps patience is.
331
00:21:21,809 --> 00:21:23,970
Fair enough.
[Groans]
332
00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:29,406
Gentlemen, I should tell you
that I am prepared for this
to become a battle.
333
00:21:30,354 --> 00:21:32,749
Almost everything does.
334
00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:35,254
It seems to be part
of the price I have to pay.
335
00:21:35,323 --> 00:21:38,315
What kind of price is that?
336
00:21:38,393 --> 00:21:40,623
My soul.
337
00:21:40,695 --> 00:21:43,858
My soul, in exchange
for millions of souls.
338
00:21:43,931 --> 00:21:45,865
[Chuckles]
339
00:21:45,933 --> 00:21:49,767
You see, you think you understand me,
but you don't really know me at all.
340
00:21:51,806 --> 00:21:57,210
Nobody wants to be saved
by some obscure, threadbare,
raggedy-butt preacher anymore.
341
00:21:59,781 --> 00:22:05,242
So I'm forced to martyr myself

after which...
354
00:22:51,365 --> 00:22:53,731
I would like to make a statement.

an innocent teenage girl,

a daughter
of our congregation,
357
00:23:01,943 --> 00:23:06,676
was raped by the officer
who arrested me.
358
00:23:06,748 --> 00:23:11,276
Now, I feel compelled
to tell the whole story.
359
00:23:11,352 --> 00:23:14,583
Two nights ago, when
I stopped to ask for directions,
360
00:23:14,655 --> 00:23:17,089
that same officer, Ricardo Tubbs,
361
00:23:17,158 --> 00:23:19,786
also tried to...
362
00:23:19,861 --> 00:23:23,565
force me into lewd acts.

According to the fax from
Washington, it's consistent.

Apparently this clown is
some bona fide do-gooder.

He's been making these weekly treks
for the past three years.

And, uh, he insists on anonymity.
385

So maybe he's tired of stardom,
wants to get back in touch
with his roots.

He was there during the worst
of the drought, makin' it a little
easier for those that were dying.
389
00:26:03,339 --> 00:26:05,569
He got permanent

reflexive response...
410
00:27:07,785 --> 00:27:11,380
off the assumption that Bill Bob
was responsible for framing me?

does not— does not— make me
an accomplice. I checked with my lawyer.

He's got no problem with that.

to go on the bird— the satellite—
Mason Mather took a pass.

Not at first.

and images traveling through the same
microchips as the bunny channel.

So why doesn't he get it now?

No room at the inn.
He's got a local show,
463

but you can't book a satellite
frequency to save your soul.

like 10 years ago.

get on the bird is to knock

You give him a message.

You tell him, call me at this number,
or I'll get that warrant.

00:32:07,318 --> 00:32:09,286
I hereby make
the following prediction.
493
00:32:09,353 --> 00:32:13,187
The miracle is this:
The sky will part,
494
00:32:13,257 --> 00:32:16,124
and fire and lightning
will come from heaven.
495
00:32:16,193 --> 00:32:19,287
Fire and lightning
will destroy his evil ministry!
496
00:32:20,965 --> 00:32:25,993
The Lord will send fire and lightning
down on Reverend Bill Bob Proverb...
497
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:29,030
in exactly two hours and 10 minutes!
498
00:32:43,419 --> 00:32:45,353
[Sniffs]
499
00:32:51,059 --> 00:32:52,993
Come on, Reverend,
you've gotta leave.
500
00:32:53,061 --> 00:32:55,552
I ain't gonna let him destroy you—
Get your hands off me!
501
00:32:55,631 --> 00:32:58,964
Mason Mather ain't keepin' me
off my own show. We're goin'
live tonight, you understand?
502
00:32:59,034 --> 00:33:01,696
No tape. We're goin' live.
I want a camera on right now.
503
00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:04,000
Is this thing workin'?
Gimme some sound over here!
[Handset Beeping]
504
00:33:04,072 --> 00:33:06,506
Let's roll.
505
00:33:08,444 --> 00:33:10,708
[Coughing]
Are you on the air?
506
00:33:10,779 --> 00:33:14,306
We're on the air.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for joining us tonight.
507
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:18,547
This is the Reverend Bill Bob Proverb,
and I'm comin' to you live tonight...
508
00:33:18,620 --> 00:33:20,554
because a certain minister of God—
509
00:33:20,622 --> 00:33:24,080
perhaps I should say
a so-called minister of God—
510
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:27,686
has made some wicked and
unbelievable predictions...
511
00:33:27,763 --> 00:33:29,697
about the events
of tonight's show.
512
00:33:29,765 --> 00:33:32,962
I wanted to be standin'
here in person to show—
Lemme ask you a question, people.
513
00:33:33,035 --> 00:33:36,493
Does it look as if
the sky is gonna part?
[Laughs]
514
00:33:36,572 --> 00:33:41,063
Does it look as if fire is gonna
rain down on me tonight?
That's ridiculous, people.
515
00:33:41,088 --> 00:33:43,022
Absolutely ridiculous!
516
00:33:56,625 --> 00:33:58,991
[Whimpers]
Billy Bob!
517
00:33:59,061 --> 00:34:01,222
[Thunderclap]
518
00:34:02,698 --> 00:34:05,189
[Woman On P.A.]
Dr. McCullen, Surgery please.
519
00:34:05,267 --> 00:34:07,326
Dr. McCullen.
520
00:34:13,025 --> 00:34:16,927
- Very good, guys! Excellent response.
- Yeah, very nice, very nice.
521
00:34:16,995 --> 00:34:19,225
Listen, the deacon wants
to see you down in the lounge.
522
00:34:19,297 --> 00:34:21,265
Grab a cup of coffee.
We got it.
523
00:34:21,333 --> 00:34:26,202
- That's not quite true, gentlemen.
- [Chuckles]
524
00:34:26,271 --> 00:34:29,263
Uh, okay, Deacon,
we want to speak to Mather.
525
00:34:29,341 --> 00:34:32,435
He's being attended by
Dr. Kermit Ollinger from Atlanta.
526
00:34:32,511 --> 00:34:36,003
Well, what he needs is a lawyer.
And we'll be happy to wait,
527
00:34:36,081 --> 00:34:39,209
if that's what he wants, but
we're gonna ask him right now.
528
00:34:39,284 --> 00:34:42,583
- I'm sorry, you can't do that.
- The man is suspect in everything...
529
00:34:42,654 --> 00:34:47,023
from criminal conspiracy
to the use of lightning as a lethal weapon.
530
00:34:47,092 --> 00:34:50,425
But when I say you can't ask him,
I'm not being arbitrary.
531
00:34:50,495 --> 00:34:52,929
You see, the, uh,
Reverend Mather is in a coma.
532
00:34:52,998 --> 00:34:56,695
[Heart Monitor Beeping]
He's been unconscious ever since
his broadcast last night.
533
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:05,141
[Beeping Continues]
534
00:35:06,211 --> 00:35:08,907
Leona, honey, what are you doing?
You're gonna get yourself all filthy.
535
00:35:08,980 --> 00:35:11,448
Come on, get outta there.
[Whining]
It's the things, Billy Bob.
536
00:35:11,516 --> 00:35:14,451
Yeah, I know, I know.
Who's supposed
to be watching Leona?
537
00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:17,920
Now I'm gonna have
to get all new things.
[Sighs]
538
00:35:17,989 --> 00:35:20,958
You know, I-I-I already
have some lovely ideas.
539
00:35:21,026 --> 00:35:24,462
Well, that's real good, honey.
Let me talk to Herb at the bank
first, all right?
540
00:35:25,997 --> 00:35:28,646
Make sure she don't have
any credit cards.
[Man] Okay.
541
00:35:33,138 --> 00:35:35,606
Hello, gentlemen.
[Tubbs]
Hello.
542
00:35:38,477 --> 00:35:42,436
- Got any estimates?
- How about the whole shootin' match?
543
00:35:42,514 --> 00:35:44,539
How about $15 million?
544
00:35:46,985 --> 00:35:49,613
I hope Mather burns.
545
00:35:51,323 --> 00:35:54,656
[Sighs Deeply]
Well, he's a sick one.
546
00:35:54,726 --> 00:35:57,160
The success of my ministry's been
eatin' him up inside for years.
547
00:35:57,229 --> 00:35:59,993
You see, I figured he put
that girl up to that rape business.
548
00:36:00,065 --> 00:36:02,932
Hell, I can deal with that game
any day of the week.
549
00:36:03,935 --> 00:36:07,871
But my whole studio!
[Yells]
550
00:36:07,939 --> 00:36:10,737
By the time I get finished
with Mr. Mason "Almighty" Mather,
551
00:36:10,809 --> 00:36:15,712
the man will not be able to afford
a cardboard cross to hang himself on!
552
00:36:17,249 --> 00:36:19,240
What did he have to say, anyway?
553
00:36:21,086 --> 00:36:23,452
Not much.
554
00:36:23,522 --> 00:36:26,491
- He's in a coma.
- A coma? Oh, perfect!
555
00:36:26,558 --> 00:36:29,118
Yes, one of—
One of Mather's famous comas.
556
00:36:29,194 --> 00:36:31,822
They come on him once
about every six months.
557
00:36:33,098 --> 00:36:35,760
Got any theories on
how this happened?
558
00:36:37,369 --> 00:36:40,805
- Secular or divine theories?
- Secular.
559
00:36:40,872 --> 00:36:44,171
Like your insurance,
we don't cover acts of God.
560
00:36:44,196 --> 00:36:49,463
Well, my faithful flock thinks
that I have been judged from above.
561
00:36:49,488 --> 00:36:52,286
I'd say it was an overload,
562
00:36:52,311 --> 00:36:55,439
deliberately jumped in behind
the surge suppressors
and circuit breakers.
563
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,950
[Sighs]
What about my lady,
Detective Crockett?
564
00:37:00,025 --> 00:37:02,858
After all this, you still gonna
bring her up on drug charges?
565
00:37:02,928 --> 00:37:07,262
'Fraid so, Reverend.
D.A. Gonna follow through.
566
00:37:10,569 --> 00:37:13,902
Well, I certainly don't feel
like God's favorite these days.
567
00:37:13,972 --> 00:37:17,430
It's all Japanese.
The best that money can buy.
568
00:37:17,509 --> 00:37:19,568
And I got it before
the trade war started.
569
00:37:19,644 --> 00:37:22,112
You know what it's gonna
cost me to replace this gear?
570
00:37:23,702 --> 00:37:27,751
I, uh, found this in
the microwave transmitter shack.
571
00:37:27,819 --> 00:37:31,550
Damned near burnt to the ground.
Liverwurst on white.
572
00:37:34,226 --> 00:37:36,820
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute.
573
00:37:39,564 --> 00:37:42,761
This is a power transmission
schematic.
574
00:37:42,834 --> 00:37:44,802
Did you say liverwurst?
575
00:37:46,171 --> 00:37:49,937
My chief engineer on
the night shift, Carl Becker—
576
00:37:50,008 --> 00:37:52,772
He eats a liverwurst and onion
sandwich every night of the week.
577
00:37:53,817 --> 00:37:56,308
Get within 10 feet of the man,
your eyes start waterin'.
578
00:37:58,717 --> 00:38:00,708
So it was Becker.
579
00:38:03,889 --> 00:38:09,452
- He's not takin' this well.
- Betrayed by his own food.
580
00:38:10,128 --> 00:38:14,792
These two may be world-class hustlers,
but as criminals, bozo time.
581
00:38:19,537 --> 00:38:22,028
[Chattering]
582
00:38:26,478 --> 00:38:28,605
[Man
That was a good time last night.
583
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,114
[Man
You have a good time last night?
[Woman] Yeah.
584
00:38:31,182 --> 00:38:34,310
[Man
I have vacations.
[Man
585
00:38:34,386 --> 00:38:37,878
Stick around here
and look at the girls?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
586
00:38:37,956 --> 00:38:42,893
Excuse me, gentlemen,
uh, which one of you is Becker?
Who wants to know?
587
00:38:42,961 --> 00:38:45,452
I'm Detective Crockett—
588
00:38:45,530 --> 00:38:47,464
Something I said?
589
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,803
I got him!
590
00:39:17,028 --> 00:39:20,520
[Crockett]
Where you goin', Becker?
We know you wired the station.
591
00:39:20,598 --> 00:39:23,692
We got your dinner
and the schematics.
That doesn't prove a thing!
592
00:39:25,036 --> 00:39:27,266
Let's throw this guy—
So I forgot to eat— big deal!
593
00:39:27,339 --> 00:39:30,240
You bet it's a big deal when
you're on double payrolls, huh?
594
00:39:30,308 --> 00:39:34,108
It was just a stunt. I lowered
the amperage so no one would get hurt.
595
00:39:34,179 --> 00:39:36,912
Were you the one that talked
the girl into yellin' rape?
596
00:39:36,937 --> 00:39:40,146
I just rewired the Walkman.
Mather did all the talkin'.
597
00:39:40,218 --> 00:39:43,210
He told her to stage it.
He said the Lord would protect her.
598
00:39:43,288 --> 00:39:47,554
Yeah, what do you think?
You think we'd eat each other alive,
and he'd come out the winner, huh?
599
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:49,650
I don't know.
Please!
600
00:39:56,568 --> 00:39:59,935
So why blow the station?
Huh?
601
00:40:00,005 --> 00:40:05,375
What happened? Mather flip out
because Proverb turned all his
trouble into contributions?
602
00:40:05,443 --> 00:40:07,673
[Panting]
I don't know, man.
603
00:40:07,746 --> 00:40:11,147
I just took his 20 grand.
Why don't you just ask him?
604
00:40:12,584 --> 00:40:15,075
That's a good idea.
Come on.
605
00:40:18,957 --> 00:40:20,891
He came out of it
about 20 minutes ago.
606
00:40:20,959 --> 00:40:24,827
He grabbed a syringe full of procaine,
and the doctor says if he puts
the whole volume in himself,
607
00:40:24,896 --> 00:40:27,421
it's gonna stop his heart!
608
00:40:27,499 --> 00:40:30,491
Oh, good. Good.
609
00:40:30,568 --> 00:40:33,731
He's flipped. He's done.
How can you tell that?
610
00:40:35,206 --> 00:40:39,973
- Hey, Reverend Mather!
- Back! Back, devils!
611
00:40:40,877 --> 00:40:44,005
I have been called to him.
I have been called to His bosom.
612
00:40:44,082 --> 00:40:46,744
Oh, Lord, I have
been called to him.
613
00:40:46,818 --> 00:40:49,286
Look, come on down
and we'll talk about it!
614
00:40:51,122 --> 00:40:54,353
I am through with this vale of tears.
615
00:40:55,316 --> 00:40:58,080
Uh, Reverend—
616
00:40:59,831 --> 00:41:04,200
I am no longer of this Earth,
I am above these mere mortals.
617
00:41:04,269 --> 00:41:09,764
Uh, Reverend, what do you say my partner
comes on up there and talks to ya for—
for just five minutes.
618
00:41:09,841 --> 00:41:11,775
Huh? Whaddya say?
619
00:41:11,843 --> 00:41:15,472
Take me from this evilness.
Take me from this wicked Earth.
620
00:41:17,982 --> 00:41:20,212
No, huh?
What do you think I oughta do,
621
00:41:20,285 --> 00:41:23,948
go down and call the fire department,
tell 'em we got a jumper?
No, we don't have time.
622
00:41:24,022 --> 00:41:27,958
They broadcast paramedics
and medevac as far as
Fort Lauderdale from there.
623
00:41:28,026 --> 00:41:30,187
That tower's got
10,000 watts of power.
624
00:41:30,261 --> 00:41:33,822
Somebody just keys a mic inside—
625
00:41:34,588 --> 00:41:39,065
- How do you know all that?
- Night school. There is life after Vice.
626
00:41:41,673 --> 00:41:44,233
- Rev!
- Hey, Reverend, look, uh,
627
00:41:44,309 --> 00:41:47,904
why don't you just come down
and we'll talk about it?
628
00:41:47,979 --> 00:41:52,279
Now-Now-Now, Reverend, look,
I-I know you got problems, sure, but—
629
00:41:52,350 --> 00:41:54,784
but I don't think we're lookin'
at any jail time here.
630
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,882
I have been called to him.
It's not my will.
631
00:42:00,959 --> 00:42:03,655
I have been called
to his bosom.
632
00:42:03,728 --> 00:42:08,756
Oh, ye land, thy will be done!
633
00:42:08,833 --> 00:42:12,462
[Electricity Crackling]
[Screaming]
634
00:42:13,972 --> 00:42:16,634
Oh, God.
635
00:42:23,381 --> 00:42:26,908
Good evening, friends.
It's real good to come
before you tonight.
636
00:42:26,985 --> 00:42:30,045
[Chuckles]
I haven't-haven't been on your
television sets the last few nights.
637
00:42:30,121 --> 00:42:32,783
I'm sure you all know the reason why.
638
00:42:32,857 --> 00:42:36,315
My, uh, my electronic ministry
was destroyed...
639
00:42:36,394 --> 00:42:38,385
by what some people
persist in saying...
640
00:42:38,463 --> 00:42:42,331
was an act of divine retribution
by an almighty Lord.
641
00:42:43,668 --> 00:42:46,432
Well, I don't know about that.
642
00:42:46,504 --> 00:42:50,964
I guess I'm just not smart enough
to know such profound things.
643
00:42:52,944 --> 00:42:55,037
I do know I've been laid low.
644
00:42:56,392 --> 00:42:59,259
I've never been so low
as you see me here tonight.
645
00:43:05,423 --> 00:43:10,087
I don't have much left,
but I have my health.
646
00:43:10,161 --> 00:43:13,597
And I have my darlin' Leona,
647
00:43:13,665 --> 00:43:18,659
who has been
a comfort and a joy to me,
648
00:43:18,736 --> 00:43:22,570
and I'd like to thank
the almighty God

We, uh—We're gonna have to
sell most everything we got—
650
00:43:27,312 --> 00:43:33,080
the houses, the cars, the boats—
to pay our debts and legal fees, and—
651
00:43:33,151 --> 00:43:37,781
and to be honest, folks,
to pay for Leona's drug
rehabilitation program.
652
00:43:39,023 --> 00:43:44,086
And you know what I say, folks?
I say good riddance to all that junk.
653
00:43:44,162 --> 00:43:46,960
Now, if I were you,
seein' me in this sorry state,
654
00:43:47,031 --> 00:43:48,965
I'm not sure I'd wanna
get behind this ministry.
655
00:43:49,033 --> 00:43:53,493
I'm not sure that this ministry
deserves your support, to be honest.
656

That's up to you.

Let's just leave it this way:
If you wanna send us
a few dollars, that's fine.
658
00:44:00,979 --> 00:44:04,005
And if you don't, we still
love you and bless you.

Now, with the last few seconds
of this-this little message,
I'd like to hear Leona sing.
