Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,395 --> 00:00:07,007
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:09,748
sexually-based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
3
00:00:09,792 --> 00:00:12,273
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
4
00:00:12,316 --> 00:00:14,057
who investigate
these vicious felonies
5
00:00:14,101 --> 00:00:15,493
are members of an elite squad
6
00:00:15,537 --> 00:00:17,669
known as
the Special Victims Unit.
7
00:00:17,713 --> 00:00:19,584
These are their stories.
8
00:00:23,501 --> 00:00:25,634
It's going to be amazing.
9
00:00:25,677 --> 00:00:27,462
My daddy says
you're a hard worker.
10
00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:28,550
He does?
11
00:00:28,593 --> 00:00:30,682
Well, that's good to know.
12
00:00:30,726 --> 00:00:33,120
- It's true.
- Do you have a gun too?
13
00:00:33,163 --> 00:00:36,427
I do, but I don't
bring it to parties.
14
00:00:38,951 --> 00:00:41,302
Wow, your family's so lovely.
15
00:00:41,345 --> 00:00:43,913
And you didn't tell me
that your wife is gorgeous.
16
00:00:43,956 --> 00:00:45,523
And... and hilarious.
17
00:00:45,567 --> 00:00:48,352
- Lamai balances me out.
All right.
18
00:00:48,396 --> 00:00:50,963
Heads-up,
I know that look in her eye.
19
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:54,054
- Olivia, did Chris tell you...
- You know I didn't.
20
00:00:54,097 --> 00:00:56,186
Our dear friend, Edgar.
21
00:00:56,230 --> 00:01:00,582
He's a partner at my old firm.
Edgar, Olivia.
22
00:01:00,625 --> 00:01:03,063
- Hello.
- Olivia.
23
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:05,935
You're as stunning
as Lamai said you were.
24
00:01:11,245 --> 00:01:12,724
- Hey.
- Oh.
25
00:01:12,768 --> 00:01:14,161
You okay?
26
00:01:14,204 --> 00:01:16,641
Yeah, well, I spent
the weekend with my mother.
27
00:01:16,685 --> 00:01:19,296
- Beth okay?
So that's a no.
28
00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:21,429
- Other than that?
- What, end of the shift,
29
00:01:21,472 --> 00:01:23,170
I'm sent to Special Frauds
30
00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:26,782
where a sticky-fingered church
bookkeeper may want to flip.
31
00:01:26,825 --> 00:01:29,219
- Does life get better than that?
- So that's another no?
32
00:01:29,263 --> 00:01:32,135
Right over here.
33
00:01:32,179 --> 00:01:35,573
Ms. Blake, this is Detective
Rollins from Special Victims.
34
00:01:35,617 --> 00:01:38,402
I've told her a spot audit
revealed that you've embezzled
35
00:01:38,446 --> 00:01:40,404
more than $400,000
from your church.
36
00:01:40,448 --> 00:01:41,599
And you're looking
to trade information
37
00:01:41,623 --> 00:01:44,800
about a sexual predator?
Who?
38
00:01:44,843 --> 00:01:46,497
It's okay.
39
00:01:46,541 --> 00:01:48,108
He's an official at my church.
40
00:01:48,151 --> 00:01:50,980
Go on.
41
00:01:51,023 --> 00:01:54,810
Cards on the table, Sherry.
42
00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,290
He's had sexual relations
43
00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:58,422
with teenage girls
in the congregation
44
00:01:58,466 --> 00:02:00,772
and used church funds
to pay them off.
45
00:02:02,296 --> 00:02:04,012
- Gonna need his name.
- We're gonna need assurances.
46
00:02:04,036 --> 00:02:05,449
As I've told you,
the DA will consider any...
47
00:02:05,473 --> 00:02:07,475
I'm worried about the NYPD.
48
00:02:07,518 --> 00:02:09,781
- Excuse me?
- This church official?
49
00:02:09,825 --> 00:02:12,871
He's a close personal friend
of your boss.
50
00:02:15,787 --> 00:02:19,487
So, normally I stumble
my way through grace.
51
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:23,621
No, no.
52
00:02:23,665 --> 00:02:26,276
Uh, but Reverend Chase,
would you do us the honors?
53
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,062
Shall we?
54
00:02:30,106 --> 00:02:31,673
Dear Lord, thank you
for the gift
55
00:02:31,716 --> 00:02:33,892
of gathering in the warmth
of the Garland home
56
00:02:33,936 --> 00:02:35,546
on a cold winter's night,
57
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:38,462
to visit with old friends
and to meet new ones,
58
00:02:38,506 --> 00:02:41,291
to savor
Lamai's masterful cooking...
59
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:43,337
To...
60
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:45,469
To be interrupted by a doorbell.
61
00:02:45,513 --> 00:02:47,993
Excuse me.
62
00:02:48,037 --> 00:02:49,952
Cheers, everyone.
63
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:52,128
- All: Cheers.
- Here's to a lovely evening.
64
00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:55,697
- Sorry to bother you, Chief.
- We tried calling.
65
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:58,047
- It's a no-cell phones dinner.
Your captain's here.
66
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:00,310
- We know.
We need a minute.
67
00:03:00,354 --> 00:03:04,140
Come in.
68
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,969
Carisi, Rollins,
what's going on?
69
00:03:07,012 --> 00:03:09,450
We got a credible tip about
a serial sexual predator.
70
00:03:09,493 --> 00:03:10,842
Couldn't wait until morning?
71
00:03:10,886 --> 00:03:12,516
The informant claims
it's someone you know.
72
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:13,889
She wants assurances that
73
00:03:13,932 --> 00:03:15,673
you'll let
the investigation proceed.
74
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:17,501
- Of course I will.
Who is it?
75
00:03:17,545 --> 00:03:20,765
Reverend Delman Chase.
76
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:22,202
I find that
very hard to believe.
77
00:03:22,245 --> 00:03:24,726
Wasn't that just him
saying grace?
78
00:03:26,728 --> 00:03:28,251
How well do you know each other?
79
00:03:28,295 --> 00:03:31,211
H-he and his wife Laura
are like family.
80
00:03:31,254 --> 00:03:35,345
Been my spiritual advisor
for over a decade.
81
00:03:35,389 --> 00:03:37,042
He was the minister
at my wedding.
82
00:04:36,232 --> 00:04:37,538
So Garland's minister's
83
00:04:37,581 --> 00:04:39,061
doing teenage girls
at his church?
84
00:04:39,104 --> 00:04:40,628
Fin, we don't know that.
85
00:04:40,671 --> 00:04:41,953
Then why would
this accountant make it up?
86
00:04:41,977 --> 00:04:43,979
Because she's facing
serious fraud charges.
87
00:04:44,022 --> 00:04:45,807
Anyway, Garland
doesn't believe it.
88
00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:48,853
- So he's gonna shut us down?
- No, that's not his way.
89
00:04:48,897 --> 00:04:50,290
Or his call.
90
00:04:50,333 --> 00:04:52,770
- Hey, check this out.
- Hey.
91
00:05:04,434 --> 00:05:07,002
Praise dancing
at Harlem Heights Baptist?
92
00:05:07,045 --> 00:05:08,612
Turns out Reverend Chase
93
00:05:08,656 --> 00:05:11,441
is a big supporter of the
church's all-girl dance troupe.
94
00:05:11,485 --> 00:05:12,636
They perform
all over the country,
95
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:13,965
win all kinds of awards.
96
00:05:14,009 --> 00:05:15,358
Whoo!
97
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,882
Hallelujah!
Oh, praise the Lord.
98
00:05:19,101 --> 00:05:22,017
Oh, yeah, wonderful job.
99
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:24,672
Oh, that was wonderful.
100
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:27,805
- Good job, good job.
- Whoo!
101
00:05:27,849 --> 00:05:30,460
Our praise dancers
always lift my spirit.
102
00:05:30,504 --> 00:05:31,983
- Amen.
- Amen.
103
00:05:32,027 --> 00:05:34,421
- We're so blessed.
- We are so blessed.
104
00:05:34,464 --> 00:05:37,075
That's Chase's wife
and co-pastor, Laura.
105
00:05:37,119 --> 00:05:39,339
They've been at Harlem Heights
for 20 years.
106
00:05:39,382 --> 00:05:41,384
Uh, their sermons
are nationally broadcast.
107
00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:43,778
- So he's a for-profit pastor?
- Uh, yeah.
108
00:05:43,821 --> 00:05:46,389
They got the two mansions,
a church-leased private plane.
109
00:05:46,433 --> 00:05:49,392
But he also runs a charity that
works with local non-profits.
110
00:05:49,436 --> 00:05:50,630
And he started a charter school
111
00:05:50,654 --> 00:05:52,047
for underprivileged girls.
112
00:05:52,090 --> 00:05:54,789
And the church also funds
a dorm for at-risk youth.
113
00:05:54,832 --> 00:05:57,269
Okay, that could be
a hunting ground.
114
00:05:57,313 --> 00:05:58,619
What do we have on his payouts?
115
00:05:58,662 --> 00:06:02,013
Uh, Chase told his bookkeeper
that these checks
116
00:06:02,057 --> 00:06:05,060
were for families in need,
the girls' college funds.
117
00:06:05,103 --> 00:06:06,670
Code for hush money.
118
00:06:06,714 --> 00:06:08,387
Over 50 checks
from the last seven years,
119
00:06:08,411 --> 00:06:11,327
all varying amounts,
almost all 15K or under.
120
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:15,331
- Uh, sorry to interrupt.
Captain.
121
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:19,509
- Yes, okay, great.
Here you go.
122
00:06:20,205 --> 00:06:21,555
Come in.
123
00:06:21,598 --> 00:06:23,034
Thank you for coming last night.
124
00:06:23,078 --> 00:06:25,080
It was a lovely evening.
125
00:06:25,123 --> 00:06:27,517
Huh, until it wasn't.
126
00:06:27,561 --> 00:06:32,696
Look, after everyone left,
it, uh...
127
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,437
it crossed my mind
to call Del back.
128
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:35,917
You wanted to give him
a heads-up?
129
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,354
I did, because I don't
believe he's capable of this.
130
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:42,140
But Lamai had the good legal
sense to talk me out of that.
131
00:06:42,184 --> 00:06:44,229
To be clear, you're in control
of the investigation.
132
00:06:44,273 --> 00:06:46,275
I'll recuse.
133
00:06:46,318 --> 00:06:48,016
You can report
to the Chief of D's.
134
00:06:48,059 --> 00:06:50,279
I appreciate that.
135
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:53,543
But because he trusts you...
136
00:06:53,587 --> 00:06:56,372
and the community trusts you...
137
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,592
I may need your help with this.
138
00:07:00,463 --> 00:07:02,247
Okay.
139
00:07:02,291 --> 00:07:05,033
In that case, Laura Chase
pulled me aside last night.
140
00:07:05,076 --> 00:07:07,427
She's worried about
the embezzlement.
141
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:09,777
Might be an opening.
142
00:07:12,954 --> 00:07:15,217
We appreciate your
cooperation, Reverend Chase.
143
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:17,393
- Call me Laura.
But aren't you Special Victims?
144
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,701
We are, but Chris Garland
asked us to look into this
145
00:07:20,744 --> 00:07:23,834
- on behalf of Special Frauds.
- Christian's a good man.
146
00:07:23,878 --> 00:07:26,054
When I heard Sherry Blake
stole collection-plate money
147
00:07:26,097 --> 00:07:27,795
to go on shopping sprees,
I was sickened.
148
00:07:27,838 --> 00:07:30,101
- Not just collections.
We flagged some checks that
149
00:07:30,145 --> 00:07:32,756
may or may not be legitimate.
W-would you mind taking a look?
150
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,411
- Of course.
Let's go to my office.
151
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:39,023
These two... we never used
a catering service, I'm sure.
152
00:07:39,067 --> 00:07:40,808
Okay, so put those
in the fraudulent pile.
153
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:44,072
And now we have
three different car payments.
154
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:46,727
Yeah, we each have our own
car and there's a church van.
155
00:07:46,770 --> 00:07:49,730
We also found a, uh, series
of checks made out to...
156
00:07:49,773 --> 00:07:52,384
To different girls.
Do you recognize this name?
157
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:54,125
Yeah, Breyona Taylor...
She's a student.
158
00:07:54,169 --> 00:07:56,040
$10,000.
159
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:58,913
The church sometimes helps
young girls with family need.
160
00:07:58,956 --> 00:08:00,654
Yeah.
161
00:08:00,697 --> 00:08:03,395
This one is from four years ago.
162
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,269
- Destiny Hall?
We had such high hopes for her.
163
00:08:07,312 --> 00:08:09,358
Poor girl just lost her way.
164
00:08:11,882 --> 00:08:13,449
$75,000?
165
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,320
Yeah, three checks
in the same month.
166
00:08:15,364 --> 00:08:16,800
Renee Lee, 75,000.
167
00:08:16,844 --> 00:08:19,629
Sade Ferguson, 75,000.
168
00:08:19,673 --> 00:08:22,327
And $100,000 PraiseRaise fund
169
00:08:22,371 --> 00:08:24,808
for, uh, Sade Lee.
170
00:08:24,852 --> 00:08:26,549
Renee is a student,
171
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:29,117
and Sade is her mom.
And they were struggling.
172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,512
But there's no way the church
would've paid out $1/4 million.
173
00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:36,037
Sister Sherry must have
174
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,605
written out the checks
and laundered them.
175
00:08:38,648 --> 00:08:41,172
My husband will be
beside himself.
176
00:08:43,261 --> 00:08:44,654
Yes, it's my check.
177
00:08:44,698 --> 00:08:45,849
It's made out to me,
Breyona Taylor.
178
00:08:45,873 --> 00:08:47,439
Can you tell us what it was for?
179
00:08:47,483 --> 00:08:49,548
I told the Rev that I wanted
to go to medical school
180
00:08:49,572 --> 00:08:51,008
to become a pediatrician.
181
00:08:51,052 --> 00:08:53,533
He said it would cost a lot,
but he could help.
182
00:08:53,576 --> 00:08:55,099
And he just gave you the check?
183
00:08:55,143 --> 00:08:58,538
We put it in an account,
just like that.
184
00:08:58,581 --> 00:09:00,409
Did he expect anything
in return?
185
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:03,804
Just to keep
working towards my dream
186
00:09:03,847 --> 00:09:05,936
and to give all glory to God.
187
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:08,243
The Reverend called it
a down payment on my future.
188
00:09:08,286 --> 00:09:11,202
What that mean?
189
00:09:11,246 --> 00:09:13,596
- It meant keep my mouth shut.
- About what?
190
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,380
About him being nasty.
191
00:09:15,424 --> 00:09:16,686
He gave me a loan,
192
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:18,558
asked if I have bad thoughts,
193
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:20,995
asked me to tell him
about my temptations.
194
00:09:21,038 --> 00:09:23,606
- Anything else happen?
- I shut him down.
195
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:26,609
Took his check.
That money is long gone.
196
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:29,264
You ever tell anyone?
197
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:31,788
Everyone at that church
thinks he's God.
198
00:09:38,055 --> 00:09:39,883
Thanks for speaking
with us, Michelle.
199
00:09:39,927 --> 00:09:40,841
You're here about
that accountant?
200
00:09:40,884 --> 00:09:41,905
Everyone knows about it?
201
00:09:41,929 --> 00:09:44,018
- Yeah.
The girls are all upset.
202
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:45,672
I'm the dorm mom,
so I hear it all.
203
00:09:45,715 --> 00:09:47,717
Is Renee Lee here today?
204
00:09:47,761 --> 00:09:51,112
Front and center, like always.
205
00:09:51,155 --> 00:09:52,853
Thanks.
206
00:09:52,896 --> 00:09:55,116
Reverend Chase is
generous to all us girls.
207
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:58,032
- He's a true Christian.
- I'm sure he is, but...
208
00:09:58,075 --> 00:10:00,251
$250,000?
209
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:03,559
- My mom broke her back.
She hasn't worked in a year.
210
00:10:03,603 --> 00:10:04,908
And was that the only reason
211
00:10:04,952 --> 00:10:06,103
the Reverend gave
your family the money?
212
00:10:06,127 --> 00:10:08,129
Like, breaking
your back isn't enough?
213
00:10:08,172 --> 00:10:10,566
It's just a lot more
than the other donations
214
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,524
made by the church,
215
00:10:12,568 --> 00:10:15,179
and if the Reverend
asked for anything in return...
216
00:10:15,223 --> 00:10:18,008
- Like what?
You saying the Rev's a creeper?
217
00:10:18,052 --> 00:10:20,358
He's not.
218
00:10:20,402 --> 00:10:22,839
Anyway, I gotta rehearse now.
219
00:10:24,754 --> 00:10:26,974
- I'm new and all, but...
- You're not that new.
220
00:10:27,017 --> 00:10:29,890
Something happened here,
and it wasn't spiritual.
221
00:10:29,933 --> 00:10:32,675
Who's gonna tell Chief Garland?
222
00:10:34,938 --> 00:10:36,612
How long's it been
since we've done this?
223
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,899
Too long.
224
00:10:38,942 --> 00:10:40,659
And I thought here would be
a better place to talk
225
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:41,945
than either of our offices.
226
00:10:41,989 --> 00:10:43,314
If this is about
the embezzlement, Del,
227
00:10:43,338 --> 00:10:45,035
I assure you the investigation
will proceed
228
00:10:45,079 --> 00:10:46,863
- with due diligence.
- Will it?
229
00:10:46,907 --> 00:10:49,170
There are bitter and racist
eyes on us, Christian.
230
00:10:49,213 --> 00:10:51,520
Eyes that don't wanna see me
raise up this community
231
00:10:51,563 --> 00:10:53,174
through my church, my school.
232
00:10:53,217 --> 00:10:57,265
Eyes that don't wanna see
a black man rise in the NYPD.
233
00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:59,310
But I have risen.
234
00:11:00,529 --> 00:11:02,096
As have you.
235
00:11:02,139 --> 00:11:04,707
These investigators are
making salacious implications,
236
00:11:04,751 --> 00:11:06,578
concocting conspiracies.
237
00:11:06,622 --> 00:11:08,015
I worry folks will think
238
00:11:08,058 --> 00:11:09,973
there must be fire
underneath that smoke.
239
00:11:10,017 --> 00:11:12,280
Whatever stories
your people are hearing,
240
00:11:12,323 --> 00:11:14,369
I need to know.
241
00:11:14,412 --> 00:11:16,458
Promise me you won't be
a corbie-messenger.
242
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:19,461
Understood.
243
00:11:19,504 --> 00:11:22,116
That's all I need to know.
244
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,380
I'm always here
for you, Christian.
245
00:11:27,556 --> 00:11:31,429
At this point, I'll resign.
246
00:11:31,473 --> 00:11:33,736
If I taught you anything,
247
00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:36,565
it's how to protect your king.
248
00:11:38,741 --> 00:11:40,308
All right, man.
249
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,887
Well?
250
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:56,890
Protested far too much.
251
00:11:56,933 --> 00:11:59,544
He asked for my word
that I have his back.
252
00:12:01,155 --> 00:12:04,158
- I'm so sorry.
- So am I.
253
00:12:04,811 --> 00:12:06,769
I have a sick feeling
the Lord had nothing to do
254
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:08,597
with why he wrote those checks.
255
00:12:16,474 --> 00:12:18,259
I'm happy to help
if I can, Captain.
256
00:12:18,302 --> 00:12:20,304
My wife said this was about
257
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,784
the checks
to Renee Lee's mother.
258
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:23,438
Yeah, your wife thought
259
00:12:23,481 --> 00:12:25,745
that they were fraudulent.
260
00:12:29,357 --> 00:12:31,489
No, the other ones
she caught were,
261
00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:34,057
but on these,
Laura was mistaken.
262
00:12:34,101 --> 00:12:35,624
So the quarter million is legit?
263
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:37,060
I don't recall the exact amount,
264
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:38,409
but Renee's needs were great.
265
00:12:38,453 --> 00:12:41,064
How do you mean?
266
00:12:41,108 --> 00:12:42,825
Renee's mother,
who had worked on her feet
267
00:12:42,849 --> 00:12:45,895
her entire life,
suffered a serious back injury.
268
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:48,245
She couldn't pay
her mortgage, her heat.
269
00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:51,814
Renee would've had to drop out
of school, go home, work.
270
00:12:51,858 --> 00:12:54,208
And her home was
a troubled environment.
271
00:12:54,251 --> 00:12:56,384
So you saved her?
272
00:12:56,427 --> 00:12:59,126
The church saved her
with the Lord's help.
273
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:00,780
Okay.
274
00:13:00,823 --> 00:13:03,783
Did the church's hierarchy
approve these checks?
275
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:05,393
Payments are at my discretion,
276
00:13:05,436 --> 00:13:07,047
with the Lord's guidance.
277
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:09,614
So the Lord told you to
make three separate payments,
278
00:13:09,658 --> 00:13:12,182
including a check
made out directly to Renee?
279
00:13:12,226 --> 00:13:14,097
Separating the payments
280
00:13:14,141 --> 00:13:16,839
was definitely
Sister Sherry's idea.
281
00:13:16,883 --> 00:13:19,799
And... and I don't recall
this last one at all.
282
00:13:19,842 --> 00:13:21,975
I'd say ask her,
283
00:13:22,018 --> 00:13:24,847
but we already know we
can't believe a word she says.
284
00:13:24,891 --> 00:13:29,199
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a sermon to prepare.
285
00:13:29,243 --> 00:13:32,028
About yielding to temptation?
286
00:13:32,072 --> 00:13:36,250
No, about forgiveness.
287
00:13:43,083 --> 00:13:46,216
- So where are we?
- Giving money away is legal.
288
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:49,872
Chase claims not to recall
one payment to Renee.
289
00:13:49,916 --> 00:13:51,613
Renee insists
290
00:13:51,656 --> 00:13:54,268
that the Reverend
gave her and her mother
291
00:13:54,311 --> 00:13:57,271
all three checks,
no strings attached.
292
00:13:57,314 --> 00:13:59,553
- So what does the mother say?
- She lives up in Syracuse.
293
00:13:59,577 --> 00:14:02,450
- I sent Fin and Kat up there.
- Good.
294
00:14:02,493 --> 00:14:03,993
Tell them they can
threaten her with fraud
295
00:14:04,017 --> 00:14:06,337
if she doesn't tell the truth.
I'm not in a forgiving mood.
296
00:14:09,152 --> 00:14:10,545
Fraud at the church?
297
00:14:10,588 --> 00:14:12,373
Well, that's terrible.
298
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:14,505
Well, my money's legitimate.
I hurt myself.
299
00:14:14,549 --> 00:14:16,681
Yeah, we heard that
you had some kind of a fall.
300
00:14:16,725 --> 00:14:18,596
I had a table full
of Karens riding me,
301
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,164
and cleared too fast
and I slipped.
302
00:14:21,208 --> 00:14:22,568
You know, I would
have lost my home
303
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,212
if Reverend Chase
hadn't sent that check.
304
00:14:25,255 --> 00:14:26,822
And the PraiseRaise fund?
305
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,345
Well, that was for my medical.
306
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:30,304
Renee kept saying,
"Just keep praying
307
00:14:30,347 --> 00:14:31,740
and trusting in God, and..."
308
00:14:31,783 --> 00:14:33,916
But all the money came
from the Reverend's church.
309
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,700
The Reverend
always looked out for her.
310
00:14:35,744 --> 00:14:37,789
She was a wild child,
311
00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:39,419
and I was about
to put her out the house.
312
00:14:39,443 --> 00:14:41,097
But then my sister
saw the Reverend on TV,
313
00:14:41,141 --> 00:14:44,927
so Renee sends in
her praise dance audition tape,
314
00:14:44,971 --> 00:14:47,277
and right away he sends
a ticket for her
315
00:14:47,321 --> 00:14:50,193
to come to New York.
It was a miracle.
316
00:14:50,237 --> 00:14:52,804
- Praise Jesus.
- Amen.
317
00:14:52,848 --> 00:14:54,676
Have you ever met the Reverend?
318
00:14:54,719 --> 00:14:56,678
- No.
Only person I've ever spoken
319
00:14:56,721 --> 00:14:59,855
with is the dorm mom girl,
Michelle.
320
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:03,032
She told me how much
everyone loves Renee.
321
00:15:04,251 --> 00:15:06,427
- $250,000?
Are you sure?
322
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:08,037
It seems like a lot to you.
323
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:10,450
After all he's done for her,
and this is how she repays him?
324
00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:11,867
What do you mean, Michelle?
325
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:13,540
Reverend Chase would never
give her all that money.
326
00:15:13,564 --> 00:15:15,697
Renee must have stolen it.
327
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:18,482
Maybe she's in on it
with that bookkeeper.
328
00:15:18,526 --> 00:15:19,701
He's such a good man.
329
00:15:19,744 --> 00:15:21,485
He doesn't see people
for who they are.
330
00:15:21,529 --> 00:15:23,923
That's what we thought.
331
00:15:23,966 --> 00:15:26,490
Thank you.
332
00:15:27,578 --> 00:15:29,363
There's no way
Renee stole that money.
333
00:15:29,406 --> 00:15:30,726
No, but maybe we should give her
334
00:15:30,755 --> 00:15:32,018
a chance to refute the charge.
335
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:33,933
You want to use
a false charge as leverage
336
00:15:33,976 --> 00:15:35,499
to pressure a victim
to disclose?
337
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:37,371
He's a revered minister.
338
00:15:37,414 --> 00:15:39,155
If we want to make this case,
339
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:41,810
we may not have a choice.
340
00:15:41,853 --> 00:15:43,029
I hate to say this, Renee,
341
00:15:43,072 --> 00:15:45,292
but you could be in
serious trouble here.
342
00:15:45,335 --> 00:15:46,771
Why am I in trouble?
343
00:15:46,815 --> 00:15:48,053
Well, the Reverend doesn't
remember the check
344
00:15:48,077 --> 00:15:50,384
- made out to you.
- That's impossible.
345
00:15:50,427 --> 00:15:52,647
- He handed it to me.
- He did?
346
00:15:52,690 --> 00:15:57,043
- What was it for?
- Like I said, expenses.
347
00:15:57,086 --> 00:15:58,914
- My future.
- Huh.
348
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,718
Well, you and your mom
got over ten times more
349
00:16:00,742 --> 00:16:02,570
than anybody else.
350
00:16:02,613 --> 00:16:05,225
Now, it's been suggested
that, uh, that you stole it.
351
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:06,922
I didn't steal anything.
352
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,054
I hope not.
353
00:16:08,097 --> 00:16:10,360
Charges for grand larceny
are serious.
354
00:16:10,404 --> 00:16:12,710
I could go to jail?
355
00:16:16,845 --> 00:16:18,412
I just did what he wanted.
356
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:20,414
And what...
What was that, honey?
357
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:25,288
If I tell the truth,
can my mom keep the money?
358
00:16:25,332 --> 00:16:26,942
I wasn't lying about her.
359
00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:28,528
We're gonna do
everything we can to help you.
360
00:16:28,552 --> 00:16:31,642
But you need to tell us
the whole story.
361
00:16:33,122 --> 00:16:36,212
When I started at the school,
my grades were bad,
362
00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:39,259
really bad.
363
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:42,784
He called me into his office,
but he didn't yell at me.
364
00:16:42,827 --> 00:16:46,831
He said he would
tutor me privately.
365
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:49,617
It would be our secret.
366
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:53,055
Did you and he
have other secrets?
367
00:16:54,926 --> 00:16:57,755
Sometimes he'd tutor me.
368
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:02,847
Sometimes he'd massage my body.
369
00:17:02,891 --> 00:17:06,677
After dance, that felt
really good, but then he...
370
00:17:09,332 --> 00:17:11,378
I sh... I shouldn't talk
about this anymore.
371
00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:12,727
Hey, Renee, listen to me.
372
00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:14,294
There's nothing
that you can tell us
373
00:17:14,337 --> 00:17:15,497
that we haven't heard before.
374
00:17:17,253 --> 00:17:19,690
Can I just show you?
375
00:17:39,928 --> 00:17:43,105
I told Rev I had deleted it.
376
00:17:43,149 --> 00:17:45,151
That's why he gave me the money.
377
00:17:45,194 --> 00:17:46,674
How old were you here?
378
00:17:46,717 --> 00:17:48,850
Fifteen.
379
00:17:48,893 --> 00:17:51,113
Who is the man in this video?
380
00:17:51,157 --> 00:17:54,029
Reverend Chase.
381
00:18:08,565 --> 00:18:11,046
Garland's a cop,
a deacon at the church.
382
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,502
And he's telling us
he didn't know his own pastor
383
00:18:12,526 --> 00:18:14,484
- was a child rapist?
- Fin.
384
00:18:14,528 --> 00:18:16,573
I'm not saying he knew
and kept it quiet.
385
00:18:16,617 --> 00:18:19,837
I'm saying
he should've known something.
386
00:18:19,881 --> 00:18:22,144
Are we arresting
this guy or not?
387
00:18:26,061 --> 00:18:27,497
Detectives.
388
00:18:27,541 --> 00:18:29,040
Reverend Chase,
we'd like you to come with us
389
00:18:29,064 --> 00:18:30,326
down to the station.
390
00:18:30,370 --> 00:18:31,762
Is this about the embezzlement?
391
00:18:31,806 --> 00:18:34,635
- No, it's about Renee Lee.
- I don't understand.
392
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:38,160
She's made
an allegation of rape.
393
00:18:38,204 --> 00:18:39,901
What did you say
to that poor girl?
394
00:18:39,944 --> 00:18:42,599
She also has a tape.
395
00:18:42,643 --> 00:18:44,210
Am I under arrest?
396
00:18:44,253 --> 00:18:45,883
Not if you come with us
down to the station.
397
00:18:45,907 --> 00:18:47,691
We'd rather not cuff you.
398
00:18:47,735 --> 00:18:50,999
- Delman, what's wrong?
- Call Adams.
399
00:18:51,042 --> 00:18:53,044
And Christian Garland.
400
00:18:53,088 --> 00:18:55,873
You should know that
Garland sent us.
401
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:01,183
It's all right, baby.
402
00:19:10,497 --> 00:19:12,151
You knew he was
being brought in?
403
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:13,239
I did.
404
00:19:13,282 --> 00:19:14,544
How could you let this happen?
405
00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:16,242
After 15 years?
406
00:19:16,285 --> 00:19:18,113
We've eaten at
each other's table,
407
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,376
prayed together.
He's Abby's godfather.
408
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:24,511
- Laura, please sit down.
- Why is this girl lying, huh?
409
00:19:24,554 --> 00:19:26,948
Why does she want to hurt us?
410
00:19:28,384 --> 00:19:31,561
There's a video.
411
00:19:31,605 --> 00:19:34,608
- I don't believe it.
I wanna see it.
412
00:19:34,651 --> 00:19:36,281
- I don't think...
- This is my husband's life
413
00:19:36,305 --> 00:19:38,264
we're talking about, Christian.
I wanna see it.
414
00:19:54,758 --> 00:19:58,719
Thank God it's not him.
415
00:20:01,461 --> 00:20:02,829
So why are you
doing this, Christian?
416
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:04,899
- Laura...
- It's a fake.
417
00:20:07,641 --> 00:20:11,558
That's not Del.
You need to tell them.
418
00:20:14,038 --> 00:20:15,301
Tell them.
419
00:20:15,344 --> 00:20:17,607
What reason would
this girl have to lie?
420
00:20:17,651 --> 00:20:21,089
And the payments to her
and her family...
421
00:20:21,132 --> 00:20:24,701
$250,000?
422
00:20:26,921 --> 00:20:29,315
I can't make this go away!
423
00:20:29,358 --> 00:20:33,928
If you can't...
424
00:20:33,971 --> 00:20:35,495
then our relationship is over.
425
00:20:35,538 --> 00:20:39,063
No one in our church will
ever speak to you
426
00:20:39,107 --> 00:20:41,892
or your wife
427
00:20:41,936 --> 00:20:44,286
or your little daughter again.
428
00:20:58,300 --> 00:20:59,321
Did he say anything in the car?
429
00:20:59,345 --> 00:21:02,565
- He was very polite.
He prayed.
430
00:21:02,609 --> 00:21:05,525
Olivia.
431
00:21:05,568 --> 00:21:06,830
Edgar.
432
00:21:06,874 --> 00:21:09,572
I'm here to see my client,
Reverend Chase.
433
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:12,836
- You're a criminal attorney?
- Yeah, I used to be.
434
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,249
But it doesn't matter.
Since Reverend Chase is not
435
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:16,187
a criminal, he called me.
436
00:21:16,231 --> 00:21:17,450
I'm of counsel to the church.
437
00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:20,888
I'm sorry to tell you this,
438
00:21:20,931 --> 00:21:22,803
but there... there may be
439
00:21:22,846 --> 00:21:25,893
a side to your client
that you're not aware of.
440
00:21:27,982 --> 00:21:31,072
Where's Delman?
441
00:21:31,115 --> 00:21:32,682
Renee Lee
secretly recorded this?
442
00:21:32,726 --> 00:21:36,033
Yes, and that's
clearly her in the tape.
443
00:21:36,077 --> 00:21:37,948
She was 15 years old.
444
00:21:37,992 --> 00:21:39,559
That's the entirety
of the video?
445
00:21:39,602 --> 00:21:40,951
What, you wanna see more?
446
00:21:40,995 --> 00:21:42,997
Well, I see nothing
that implicates my client.
447
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,825
All that's visible
is a black male torso.
448
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:45,869
That could be anyone.
449
00:21:45,913 --> 00:21:47,349
Renee said that Reverend Chase
450
00:21:47,393 --> 00:21:50,352
sexually abused her
for three years,
451
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:52,572
until six months ago.
452
00:21:52,615 --> 00:21:55,226
Uh, my heart goes out
to the poor girl,
453
00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:58,360
but she's lying.
I need to talk to her.
454
00:21:58,404 --> 00:22:00,710
- Pray with her.
- Shut her up?
455
00:22:00,754 --> 00:22:02,886
Wasn't that what
the $1/4 million was for?
456
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:04,255
That money,
given out of compassion,
457
00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:06,281
apparently only showed her
how deep my client's
458
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:07,543
and the church's pockets are.
459
00:22:07,587 --> 00:22:09,371
This is obviously
an extortion attempt.
460
00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:11,460
Renee didn't come to us.
461
00:22:11,504 --> 00:22:14,420
And at first, she said
that it was charity.
462
00:22:14,463 --> 00:22:16,857
I-I think
she's troubled, confused.
463
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:18,293
Reverend...
464
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:19,923
These young girls
and their teenage temptations.
465
00:22:19,947 --> 00:22:22,558
You sure know a lot about
their temptations, don't you?
466
00:22:22,602 --> 00:22:25,996
She had
an unhealthy fixation on me.
467
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,607
I prayed with her,
468
00:22:27,650 --> 00:22:29,739
told her it would pass.
469
00:22:29,783 --> 00:22:31,959
She must have found someone
else to act it out with.
470
00:22:32,002 --> 00:22:34,048
Why would she say
that's you on the video?
471
00:22:34,091 --> 00:22:37,573
Captain, Sergeant, we've
cooperated as much as we can.
472
00:22:37,617 --> 00:22:38,724
You have a girl here
with a history
473
00:22:38,748 --> 00:22:40,402
of drug and promiscuity issues
474
00:22:40,446 --> 00:22:42,883
against the word
of a renowned spiritual leader.
475
00:22:42,926 --> 00:22:44,450
I can't imagine this
goes any further.
476
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:47,627
Oh, it can.
477
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:51,326
And it will.
478
00:22:52,936 --> 00:22:54,808
Well, if your minds
are that closed,
479
00:22:54,851 --> 00:22:57,071
I'd like a few moments
alone with my attorney.
480
00:22:58,986 --> 00:23:02,119
"Blessed is the man who
remains steadfast under trial,
481
00:23:02,163 --> 00:23:04,295
"for when he has stood
the test he will receive
482
00:23:04,339 --> 00:23:05,558
the crown of life."
483
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:06,926
- Yeah, now he's praying?
Little late.
484
00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:09,388
Okay, while he prays,
can we get a subpoena
485
00:23:09,431 --> 00:23:10,756
to photograph his torso
and his back?
486
00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:12,608
That's tough unless we arrest.
487
00:23:12,652 --> 00:23:13,716
He's not under arrest yet?
488
00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:15,132
Garland's looking out for him?
489
00:23:15,176 --> 00:23:16,438
More like the Eighth Floor.
490
00:23:16,482 --> 00:23:17,633
And considering
the Reverend's profile...
491
00:23:17,657 --> 00:23:19,789
And the voting bloc
he controls...
492
00:23:19,833 --> 00:23:22,923
To be fair, Renee will be
a problematic witness.
493
00:23:22,966 --> 00:23:24,886
It would be helpful
if we had some corroboration.
494
00:23:24,925 --> 00:23:27,275
Kat, comb through
the financials again
495
00:23:27,318 --> 00:23:28,470
and follow up with
any of the girls
496
00:23:28,494 --> 00:23:29,843
that we haven't contacted yet.
497
00:23:29,886 --> 00:23:32,149
- Copy that.
- Fin, Rollins.
498
00:23:32,193 --> 00:23:35,239
See if any of the girls
in the dorm might break rank.
499
00:23:35,283 --> 00:23:36,893
And then...
I know it's a long shot,
500
00:23:36,937 --> 00:23:39,853
but get CSU to go
through Renee's dorm.
501
00:23:44,727 --> 00:23:46,531
When I went to Renee's room
to call her for lunch,
502
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:48,557
she was gone.
She took everything.
503
00:23:48,601 --> 00:23:49,645
She must've run away.
504
00:23:49,689 --> 00:23:51,014
What did you say
to her, Michelle?
505
00:23:51,038 --> 00:23:52,431
Just that
she would have to swear
506
00:23:52,474 --> 00:23:53,823
on the Bible to tell the truth.
507
00:23:53,867 --> 00:23:56,043
That lying lips are
an abomination to the Lord.
508
00:23:56,086 --> 00:23:57,436
You know where she went?
509
00:23:57,479 --> 00:23:59,196
Not a person in this church
would take her in.
510
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:01,135
I heard her on the phone,
crying to her mother.
511
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:04,573
Breyona, honey,
you can't be in here.
512
00:24:04,617 --> 00:24:06,270
I know she brought this
on herself,
513
00:24:06,314 --> 00:24:08,490
but they didn't have to do this.
514
00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:13,408
- Breyona's just a kid.
She don't know better.
515
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,541
But no one else feels bad.
516
00:24:15,584 --> 00:24:16,977
Renee was lying
about the Reverend.
517
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:19,501
She knew that if
she continued on that path,
518
00:24:19,545 --> 00:24:22,243
she'd be damning her soul
to hell for all eternity.
519
00:24:38,215 --> 00:24:40,000
The Reverend was
having sex with Renee?
520
00:24:40,043 --> 00:24:40,957
I don't believe it.
521
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:43,133
R-Renee never said a word.
522
00:24:43,177 --> 00:24:45,005
And... and I would know.
I'm her mother.
523
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:46,920
Sometimes mothers
are the last to know.
524
00:24:48,399 --> 00:24:51,011
He's a man of God.
He saved us from being a...
525
00:24:51,054 --> 00:24:52,708
You mean with the money?
526
00:24:52,752 --> 00:24:54,928
He didn't make those payments
until he found out
527
00:24:54,971 --> 00:24:57,974
that Renee had a video
of them having sex.
528
00:25:00,063 --> 00:25:01,848
Now you... you listen here.
529
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:03,806
I've... I've paid my mortgage.
530
00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:06,722
So if you're looking for
that money back, it's gone.
531
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:08,028
That's not why we're here.
532
00:25:08,071 --> 00:25:09,396
When's the last time
you heard from Renee?
533
00:25:09,420 --> 00:25:11,553
She called me.
534
00:25:11,597 --> 00:25:13,183
Said the girls at the school
were being mean,
535
00:25:13,207 --> 00:25:14,556
and she couldn't
take it anymore.
536
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,298
I told her life was
overcoming obstacles,
537
00:25:17,341 --> 00:25:18,928
and she couldn't come home
crying to Mommy
538
00:25:18,952 --> 00:25:20,606
just 'cause she had a bad day.
539
00:25:20,649 --> 00:25:22,999
- So she wanted to come home?
- Yes.
540
00:25:23,043 --> 00:25:25,785
Any other place
she could've gone?
541
00:25:25,828 --> 00:25:27,264
Just one.
542
00:25:33,096 --> 00:25:34,141
How'd you find me?
543
00:25:34,184 --> 00:25:35,838
Your mom's worried about you.
544
00:25:35,882 --> 00:25:37,033
You mean she's worried
about the money.
545
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:38,362
That too.
546
00:25:38,406 --> 00:25:40,539
- Is your boyfriend home?
- He's at work.
547
00:25:40,582 --> 00:25:42,038
Anyway, the cops can't care
about that anymore.
548
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:43,193
I'm 17.
549
00:25:43,237 --> 00:25:46,632
We just wanna talk to you.
550
00:25:46,675 --> 00:25:48,547
You can't convince me
to come back.
551
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:51,332
Everyone's saying
I'm a gold digger, I'm a ho,
552
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:53,595
just bringing a good man down.
553
00:25:53,639 --> 00:25:55,118
We know that
he's not a good man.
554
00:25:55,162 --> 00:25:56,729
You're cops.
555
00:25:56,772 --> 00:25:59,383
Everybody at church,
even if they see the video,
556
00:25:59,427 --> 00:26:00,776
they'll just say it's not him.
557
00:26:00,820 --> 00:26:02,754
We show the video in court,
and you say it's him,
558
00:26:02,778 --> 00:26:04,084
a jury will know.
559
00:26:04,127 --> 00:26:06,129
Why would I want that
shown in court?
560
00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:08,262
All those people...
561
00:26:08,305 --> 00:26:10,307
I never should've
shown it to you.
562
00:26:10,351 --> 00:26:14,007
If I kept my mouth shut
and kept the money,
563
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:16,009
let him move on to
his next special girl...
564
00:26:16,052 --> 00:26:18,185
Which girl?
565
00:26:20,491 --> 00:26:23,669
I don't know what
you're talking about.
566
00:26:23,712 --> 00:26:26,759
And you better get out of here
before Carl comes home.
567
00:26:26,802 --> 00:26:29,152
He hates cops.
568
00:26:32,329 --> 00:26:35,332
- Two decaf, one regular.
- Great.
569
00:26:35,376 --> 00:26:36,396
Let me know if you
need anything else.
570
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:38,988
Thank you so much, Lamai.
571
00:26:41,861 --> 00:26:44,254
Where were we?
572
00:26:44,298 --> 00:26:46,126
Uh, yeah, I was about to say
573
00:26:46,169 --> 00:26:47,780
we can make the case
without Renee.
574
00:26:47,823 --> 00:26:50,347
That's what I would've
said too, when I was a cop.
575
00:26:50,391 --> 00:26:52,654
But her statement...
Without the defense getting
576
00:26:52,698 --> 00:26:54,676
a chance to cross-examine her,
it won't be admissible.
577
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:56,919
- What about the video?
- We can use it, but again,
578
00:26:56,963 --> 00:26:58,941
without Renee, we can't
even confirm that that's him
579
00:26:58,965 --> 00:27:00,531
- on the tape.
- Okay, there is one way.
580
00:27:00,575 --> 00:27:04,100
If we arrest him, then
we can do a full body kit,
581
00:27:04,144 --> 00:27:06,146
get his DNA,
and photograph his torso.
582
00:27:06,189 --> 00:27:08,235
It's the Captain's call,
not mine,
583
00:27:08,278 --> 00:27:10,716
but I do know the longer
we draw this out,
584
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:12,674
the more time he'll have
to call in favors.
585
00:27:12,718 --> 00:27:17,113
I'll give you a head start,
before I alert Ms. Hadid.
586
00:27:17,157 --> 00:27:19,681
At the risk of overstepping,
can I ask that we
587
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:21,988
not embarrass his wife
or the congregation
588
00:27:22,031 --> 00:27:24,599
by arresting him in public?
589
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,949
I will call his attorney and...
590
00:27:26,993 --> 00:27:29,212
And arrange for the Reverend
to turn himself in.
591
00:27:37,046 --> 00:27:38,308
Hold on.
592
00:27:38,352 --> 00:27:41,181
- Hey, Chief, doing okay?
- No.
593
00:27:41,224 --> 00:27:43,749
It's never easy
when mentors fall.
594
00:27:45,794 --> 00:27:48,710
Laura, can we talk?
595
00:27:51,408 --> 00:27:52,366
You didn't have the decency
596
00:27:52,409 --> 00:27:53,517
to call him in yourself,
Christian?
597
00:27:53,541 --> 00:27:54,673
I'm sorry.
598
00:27:54,716 --> 00:27:56,675
I am too.
599
00:27:56,718 --> 00:27:58,546
He's not capable of this,
Christian.
600
00:27:58,589 --> 00:27:59,982
- I always...
- He's a good man.
601
00:28:00,026 --> 00:28:02,289
I always thought so.
602
00:28:02,332 --> 00:28:05,205
That's why I refused
to believe it at first.
603
00:28:05,248 --> 00:28:07,860
This girl Renee,
she must be out for our money.
604
00:28:07,903 --> 00:28:09,557
It's not about money.
605
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,560
She's been vilified by
her classmates, ostracized.
606
00:28:12,603 --> 00:28:14,040
This is the last thing
she wanted.
607
00:28:14,083 --> 00:28:17,217
Maybe she's upset because
everybody knows she's lying.
608
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:20,002
She's been to our home.
Delman looked out for her.
609
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:22,352
He spent more time
tutoring her in math
610
00:28:22,396 --> 00:28:24,180
than he did working
on his own sermons.
611
00:28:26,139 --> 00:28:29,664
And why is that, Laura?
612
00:28:42,242 --> 00:28:45,680
Reverend Chase, on the charge
of rape in the second degree,
613
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:48,248
- how do you plead?
- Not guilty.
614
00:28:48,291 --> 00:28:50,337
- Not guilty, Your Honor.
- People on bail?
615
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:51,904
We request remand, Your Honor.
616
00:28:51,947 --> 00:28:53,166
This charge is the first
617
00:28:53,209 --> 00:28:54,709
of what we believe
will be many others.
618
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,170
He works with young women
in his church, at the school.
619
00:28:57,213 --> 00:28:58,867
- We believe he's a risk.
- Your Honor,
620
00:28:58,911 --> 00:29:01,435
Reverend Chase has led a career
of profound public service,
621
00:29:01,478 --> 00:29:03,785
unblemished by
so much as a hint of scandal.
622
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:06,179
He has no intention to flee,
only to clear his good name.
623
00:29:06,222 --> 00:29:08,268
We ask he be released
on his own recognizance.
624
00:29:08,311 --> 00:29:11,010
I will grant bail
in the amount of 50,000,
625
00:29:11,053 --> 00:29:12,576
with the condition the defendant
626
00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:14,622
has no unsupervised contact
627
00:29:14,665 --> 00:29:18,104
with any underage girls
pending trial.
628
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:25,546
I am grateful for
the prayers and support
629
00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:28,288
of my wife and co-pastor.
630
00:29:28,331 --> 00:29:30,943
Even standing here
wrongfully accused,
631
00:29:30,986 --> 00:29:33,467
I'm a blessed man.
632
00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:35,948
Turning courthouse steps
into his pulpit?
633
00:29:35,991 --> 00:29:37,210
You see that coming?
634
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:39,516
And his wife
standing by his side?
635
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,388
She perceives it as her duty.
636
00:29:41,431 --> 00:29:42,781
Down to the dress she's wearing.
637
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:45,827
There is no truth
to today's charges.
638
00:29:45,871 --> 00:29:48,395
My accuser is full of lies.
639
00:29:48,438 --> 00:29:51,137
A girl who only seeks payment,
640
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:52,703
who through perfidy
and deception,
641
00:29:52,747 --> 00:29:55,706
has stolen hard-earned dollars
from our church's coffers.
642
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:58,840
But she's not alone
in her assault on our church.
643
00:29:58,884 --> 00:30:01,234
Look, Chief, you don't need
to be here, really, let's...
644
00:30:01,277 --> 00:30:04,237
If he's going to revile me,
I'd rather he do it to my face.
645
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,847
My calls to justice
have always been
646
00:30:05,891 --> 00:30:08,110
a threat to the NYPD,
647
00:30:08,154 --> 00:30:11,505
and they found a Judas
quick to do their bidding.
648
00:30:11,548 --> 00:30:13,899
And as Jesus forgave his Judas,
649
00:30:13,942 --> 00:30:15,857
I forgive my betrayer.
650
00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:20,340
Deputy Chief Garland,
651
00:30:20,383 --> 00:30:23,212
a member of my own flock,
652
00:30:23,256 --> 00:30:24,779
so eager to prove his worth
653
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:27,608
to the lily-white establishment
of the NYPD,
654
00:30:27,651 --> 00:30:30,480
that he has concocted
a sickening conspiracy
655
00:30:30,524 --> 00:30:31,830
to try and bring me down.
656
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:34,354
And I know there are those
who will believe
657
00:30:34,397 --> 00:30:36,617
and swallow these lies,
658
00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:38,575
like those who believed
the lies the Romans told
659
00:30:38,619 --> 00:30:41,927
about our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.
660
00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:45,191
What did He do to deserve
being nailed on the cross?
661
00:30:46,366 --> 00:30:48,977
- I can't.
- Yeah.
662
00:30:50,631 --> 00:30:52,851
- You okay, Chief?
- I've been cast out before.
663
00:30:52,894 --> 00:30:54,417
It's a recurring theme.
664
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:57,333
Hey, listen,
don't take it personally.
665
00:30:57,377 --> 00:30:59,553
There's a reason
they call 'em a "flock."
666
00:30:59,596 --> 00:31:01,250
He'll never lose them.
667
00:31:01,294 --> 00:31:03,687
Maybe.
668
00:31:03,731 --> 00:31:07,604
But I think he's losing the
one person he needs the most.
669
00:31:18,267 --> 00:31:22,184
Why don't you have
a seat right there?
670
00:31:22,228 --> 00:31:25,013
Del has been lying to me
all these years.
671
00:31:25,057 --> 00:31:27,407
It's the first time
I've ever lied to him.
672
00:31:29,539 --> 00:31:32,412
He thinks I'm paying
a bereavement call.
673
00:31:33,108 --> 00:31:35,763
I didn't tell him that it was
you who called me last night.
674
00:31:35,806 --> 00:31:40,376
Thank you for coming in.
675
00:31:40,420 --> 00:31:44,337
After we spoke,
I thought about, uh...
676
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:46,905
how... how did you say it?
677
00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:48,994
I think that
I said that predators
678
00:31:49,037 --> 00:31:51,518
can often groom their victims
679
00:31:51,561 --> 00:31:54,913
under the cover of mentoring.
680
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:02,529
I was awake all night.
681
00:32:02,572 --> 00:32:06,620
All those hours Del
told me he was tutoring...
682
00:32:10,624 --> 00:32:13,888
My God, how could I let
that happen to those girls,
683
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:16,325
under my watch?
684
00:32:16,369 --> 00:32:18,719
Under my roof?
685
00:32:26,683 --> 00:32:29,991
This morning,
686
00:32:30,035 --> 00:32:32,124
I reached out to them.
687
00:32:32,167 --> 00:32:35,083
Michelle, Renee, Breyona.
688
00:32:35,127 --> 00:32:37,477
There could be others.
I have no idea.
689
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,262
And what did you say?
690
00:32:40,306 --> 00:32:44,440
I asked for their forgiveness.
691
00:32:48,836 --> 00:32:51,491
And I asked that
they cooperate with you.
692
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:08,987
What did I do?
My God.
693
00:33:18,344 --> 00:33:20,955
I couldn't believe
he knew my name.
694
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:23,740
I felt so blessed.
695
00:33:23,784 --> 00:33:26,743
And when did things change?
696
00:33:26,787 --> 00:33:31,009
One night, he asked me
to stay late after practice.
697
00:33:31,052 --> 00:33:33,620
That's when he offered
to give me a massage.
698
00:33:33,663 --> 00:33:35,491
He was hugging me.
699
00:33:35,535 --> 00:33:37,798
It turned into a kiss.
700
00:33:39,713 --> 00:33:42,063
He put his tongue in my mouth.
701
00:33:42,107 --> 00:33:43,630
He told me that
702
00:33:43,673 --> 00:33:46,894
he had never done this before
with any other girl.
703
00:33:46,937 --> 00:33:48,809
That it would have
to be our secret.
704
00:33:48,852 --> 00:33:53,553
That the feelings were
so strong, it was God's will.
705
00:33:53,596 --> 00:33:55,337
Tell me about the video.
706
00:33:57,078 --> 00:33:59,863
When he said he was
coming to my room again,
707
00:33:59,907 --> 00:34:02,997
I set up my laptop with
the video camera recording.
708
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:05,695
And when did you
show him the video?
709
00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:09,786
Last November.
710
00:34:09,830 --> 00:34:13,616
I saw he was beginning
to pay attention to Breyona.
711
00:34:15,096 --> 00:34:16,793
I guess I was jealous.
712
00:34:16,837 --> 00:34:20,275
I didn't understand at
the time why Renee was upset.
713
00:34:20,319 --> 00:34:22,799
And did he offer you money?
714
00:34:22,843 --> 00:34:27,239
He set up a scholarship fund
and gave me a job.
715
00:34:27,282 --> 00:34:30,546
He bought my mom a car.
716
00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:33,723
Four months ago,
after I showed him the video,
717
00:34:33,767 --> 00:34:37,118
he confiscated my computer,
718
00:34:37,162 --> 00:34:41,557
and he gave me
and my mother $250,000.
719
00:34:41,601 --> 00:34:45,300
And was that Reverend Chase
in the video?
720
00:34:45,344 --> 00:34:47,520
Yes.
721
00:34:47,563 --> 00:34:50,305
And how old were you
at the time?
722
00:34:50,349 --> 00:34:53,134
Fifteen.
723
00:34:53,178 --> 00:34:56,746
I know because I recorded it
on my birthday.
724
00:35:02,187 --> 00:35:05,277
Thank you, Renee.
725
00:35:07,844 --> 00:35:09,933
Thank you for coming in.
726
00:35:09,977 --> 00:35:11,326
I wanted to give you
the heads-up
727
00:35:11,370 --> 00:35:14,155
that Renee Lee testified
before a grand jury today.
728
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:16,244
It's pretty damning.
729
00:35:16,288 --> 00:35:18,420
Renee.
730
00:35:18,464 --> 00:35:21,771
I see clearly now how
she led me to temptation.
731
00:35:21,815 --> 00:35:23,121
She's no innocent.
732
00:35:23,164 --> 00:35:24,339
She used her lithe body,
733
00:35:24,383 --> 00:35:26,515
her suggestive smile
to lure me to her,
734
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,778
no different from Bathsheba,
bathing on the rooftop,
735
00:35:28,822 --> 00:35:30,128
20 yards from King David.
736
00:35:30,171 --> 00:35:31,651
So you didn't assault her...
737
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:33,324
- I would never assault anyone.
- More of a seduction?
738
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,176
- You got that right.
Getting all gussied up
739
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:37,091
every time I came over
to tutor her.
740
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:39,137
She entrapped me.
Why else would she video...
741
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:40,877
- Reverend...
- And... and then lie to me
742
00:35:40,921 --> 00:35:42,314
that she deleted the only copy?
743
00:35:42,357 --> 00:35:45,273
She's the one who should be
charged here with extortion.
744
00:35:45,317 --> 00:35:48,450
- Yeah, maybe.
But she was underage.
745
00:35:48,494 --> 00:35:52,193
A jury will look at her,
and then at me,
746
00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:54,152
- and decide for themselves.
- I hear you.
747
00:35:54,195 --> 00:35:57,459
And... and to be honest,
I-I'd be nervous,
748
00:35:57,503 --> 00:36:01,811
if I didn't have two other
girls from the church
749
00:36:01,855 --> 00:36:03,639
who also testified to
750
00:36:03,683 --> 00:36:06,425
the exact same pattern
of grooming, seduction,
751
00:36:06,468 --> 00:36:08,470
- and sexual predation.
- Were these girls...
752
00:36:08,514 --> 00:36:11,952
- Underage?
All of them, at the start.
753
00:36:11,995 --> 00:36:14,563
By the time they turned 17,
the good Reverend here
754
00:36:14,607 --> 00:36:17,218
only seems to get tempted
by a younger girl.
755
00:36:17,262 --> 00:36:19,089
T-they're setting me up.
756
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:20,676
It's gotta be part
of a coordinated shakedown.
757
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,060
They know the church has money.
Someone must've got to them.
758
00:36:23,093 --> 00:36:25,313
- Delman.
- Your client's right.
759
00:36:25,357 --> 00:36:26,967
Someone did meet with them.
760
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:28,490
To extort money from the church?
761
00:36:28,534 --> 00:36:31,319
No, to give them permission
to tell the truth,
762
00:36:31,363 --> 00:36:34,017
without fear of
reprisal from you.
763
00:36:34,061 --> 00:36:36,672
I demand to know
who in my congregation
764
00:36:36,716 --> 00:36:37,847
would plot against me.
765
00:36:37,891 --> 00:36:40,328
There's no plot, Reverend.
766
00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:44,506
She was seeking
their forgiveness.
767
00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:45,986
"She"?
768
00:36:46,029 --> 00:36:47,683
Your wife.
769
00:36:49,598 --> 00:36:51,861
Laura?
770
00:36:51,905 --> 00:36:53,776
You... you turned her against me?
771
00:36:55,909 --> 00:36:59,260
No, you did that.
772
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:01,610
And she'll never forgive herself
773
00:37:01,654 --> 00:37:04,091
for what happened
to those girls.
774
00:37:14,275 --> 00:37:16,277
Reverend Chase's lawyer is here.
775
00:37:16,321 --> 00:37:17,670
Want me to tell him to go away?
776
00:37:17,713 --> 00:37:21,717
That's not a bad idea,
but, uh, no, thanks.
777
00:37:24,329 --> 00:37:26,766
- I'll be outside.
- Thanks, Fin.
778
00:37:28,376 --> 00:37:29,812
Your sergeant's
protective of you.
779
00:37:29,856 --> 00:37:32,859
- Always.
So...
780
00:37:32,902 --> 00:37:34,077
the Reverend took the deal?
781
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:35,296
He did.
782
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:36,839
I told him, going forward,
I can no longer
783
00:37:36,863 --> 00:37:39,561
be of counsel to the church
and represent him.
784
00:37:39,605 --> 00:37:43,261
So I arranged for
other counsel to take over.
785
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:48,135
Can we talk off the record?
786
00:37:50,180 --> 00:37:52,139
- Of course.
Have a seat.
787
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:56,491
I want you to know
that I've gone over this
788
00:37:56,535 --> 00:37:58,493
in my head a hundred times.
789
00:37:58,537 --> 00:38:01,496
Never saw any of the signs.
790
00:38:01,540 --> 00:38:04,325
I'm sick over it and ashamed.
791
00:38:04,369 --> 00:38:08,155
If it helps, I've heard
hundreds of spouses,
792
00:38:08,198 --> 00:38:11,332
of friends, of parents...
793
00:38:11,376 --> 00:38:14,161
tell me exactly
what you're telling me.
794
00:38:14,204 --> 00:38:15,554
When there's a skilled predator,
795
00:38:15,597 --> 00:38:17,295
one that's been
operating for decades,
796
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:21,821
they are adept at
shielding their dark side
797
00:38:21,864 --> 00:38:24,302
from everyone,
798
00:38:24,345 --> 00:38:26,434
except their victims.
799
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,350
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
800
00:38:32,397 --> 00:38:34,834
And I am so sorry
for my part in this.
801
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:40,405
You were doing your job,
defending your client.
802
00:38:40,448 --> 00:38:42,711
What he did,
there is no defense.
803
00:38:49,283 --> 00:38:52,678
Counselor, um,
for what it's worth,
804
00:38:52,721 --> 00:38:57,596
I wish we hadn't met
under these circumstances.
805
00:39:03,645 --> 00:39:06,387
Me too.
806
00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:16,441
- Christian.
It was good of you to come.
807
00:39:16,484 --> 00:39:17,529
How are you, Delman?
808
00:39:17,572 --> 00:39:18,921
Enduring the tribulations
809
00:39:18,965 --> 00:39:22,403
the Lord has deemed
fit to send me.
810
00:39:22,447 --> 00:39:24,753
I was relieved to hear
you decided to plead guilty.
811
00:39:24,797 --> 00:39:26,494
I wanted to spare
the young women
812
00:39:26,538 --> 00:39:28,670
the burden of having to testify.
813
00:39:28,714 --> 00:39:32,239
You mean spare yourself
the humiliation?
814
00:39:33,066 --> 00:39:35,024
You sound angry, Christian.
815
00:39:35,068 --> 00:39:36,722
I'm struggling.
816
00:39:36,765 --> 00:39:39,464
- You wanna talk about that?
- Not with you.
817
00:39:39,507 --> 00:39:42,205
- Then why are you here?
To gloat?
818
00:39:42,249 --> 00:39:43,598
To castigate?
819
00:39:43,642 --> 00:39:46,427
Other than my new lawyer,
you're my only visitor.
820
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:48,429
Laura won't even take
my phone calls.
821
00:39:48,473 --> 00:39:51,214
Do you blame her?
822
00:39:51,258 --> 00:39:54,435
You know, Laura and I were
never able to have a child?
823
00:39:54,479 --> 00:39:56,568
And I thought
God was testing me,
824
00:39:56,611 --> 00:39:58,831
and that was
the worst punishment
825
00:39:58,874 --> 00:40:00,789
He could visit on me.
826
00:40:00,833 --> 00:40:02,835
But now, to knock me down
like this,
827
00:40:02,878 --> 00:40:05,446
take away my church,
put me behind bars...
828
00:40:05,490 --> 00:40:08,101
- You're not Job in this story.
Laura is.
829
00:40:08,144 --> 00:40:11,713
No, He's testing me.
830
00:40:11,757 --> 00:40:14,324
God hasn't abandoned me,
Christian.
831
00:40:14,368 --> 00:40:16,414
This is all a part of His plan.
832
00:40:16,457 --> 00:40:18,241
He wants me to minister
to the souls
833
00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:20,635
of all the men
behind these bars.
834
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:24,160
- That's why He did this to me.
- You did this to yourself.
835
00:40:24,204 --> 00:40:27,076
And until you realize that,
there's no path to forgiveness
836
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,470
from Laura, me, or God.
837
00:40:30,776 --> 00:40:35,128
- Well, then.
You've said your piece.
838
00:40:35,171 --> 00:40:37,043
You needn't visit again.
839
00:40:37,086 --> 00:40:41,003
Tomas?
840
00:40:42,701 --> 00:40:44,224
Delman.
841
00:40:48,054 --> 00:40:50,535
I will pray for you.
