- Are you sure we
should be doing this?

- Look,

everything will be fine.

Just relax.

Okay?

(tense music)

(kissing)

(belt clinking)

- I changed my mind.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

- Just relax.

- No, I, I changed my mind.

I don't want to do this.

No.

No, no, I, I changed my mind.

I don't want to do this anymore.

- [Augustus] No, no,
no, no, just relax.

- [Nadia] No.

- [Augustus] It's
gonna be all right.

No.

No, I don't want to.

Stop, no, no!

No, stop!

No!

Stop!

Stop, stop!

Stop, please stop.

Stop.

- And I saw an angel
come down out of heaven

and he sees the
dragon who is Satan.

- Come on, Bridges.

- And threw him into the abyss.

- Please.

- It's time to go
back where you belong.

- No.

- Don't do this.
- Baby, please.

- Don't, no, no.

Don't throw your life away.

Don't do this.

Come on, Nathan, come
on, don't do this.

Don't do this.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

(gun fires)

Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, no!

No, don't do it.

Nathan, don't do it,
don't do it, don't do it!

(gun fires)
(Jacob panting)

(solemn music)

(water running)

(water running)

(fork scraping)

- Good morning, sunshine.

- Morning.
- Oh.

Who pissed in your cereal?

- Well, hopefully not you.

- Well...

Not this time.

(laughs) Lucky for you, cereal
is not on me this morning.

- Thanks.

I...

I wanna thank you again
for letting me stay here.

- It's no problem.

I mean, it's not every day
that your ex comes begging

for a place to lay his head
after he's lost everything.

Damn, you look like hell.

- Wow, thanks.

- Let me guess.

You had that nightmare again?

- Yeah.

Just can't get it
out of my head.

It was so much blood.

A lot of pain.

Sorrow.

Regret.

Guilt.

- Mm.

That's what happens

when you stick your dick
where it doesn't belong.

- Don't start this shit, Nadia.

- Well, if I don't
start it, then who will?

And if not now, then when, Jake?

- It's Jacob.

- Don't gimme that
Jacob bullshit.

I knew you

before you created this
pompous, arrogant persona.

You need to be checked.

- Says the woman who
kicked our son out

'cause she couldn't
handle it anymore.

- Says the sorry ass nigga

who never even did his
part to help raise our son.

- You moved to DC when you
found out you was pregnant!

- And you could have found
the time to get your sorry ass

on the road to come
and see your son.

Hell, we even moved
back down here

to make it easier for you.

And you still couldn't
seem to find the time.

Yet you found the time
for your precious church

and to build this
illustrious reputation.

And you clearly had enough time

for all your hos and bitches.

- Nadia.

- Excuse me, mistresses
and concubines.

It's like they always say.

You make time for what and
who you wanna make time for.

I guess our son just
didn't make the cut.

Speaking of time, don't you
got somewhere you need to be?

- Shit.

- Yeah, you better hurry up

before you're late breaking
somebody else's heart.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(papers rustling)

(pen thunking)

- Well, folks,

since both parties have
suspended marital relations

and agreed to
uncontested divorce,

we can have this paperwork
finalized within the next month.

(laughs) I must admit,

this is the fastest
divorce proceedings

I've ever been a part of.

Quick and painless.

Just like I like it.

- Trust me,

there is nothing painless about
being married to this man.

(tense music)

- Leslie.

Leslie.

Leslie, wait.

- What the hell do
you want, Jacob?

- I just wanna say I'm sorry.

- I think we've already
established that.

- And...

I still love you.

- Get the hell out of here.

- I do.

So I gave you everything
you asked for.

The house, the cars, the money.

- Cut the bullshit, Jacob.

That's not out of love.

You knew had you
contested this divorce,

that I would drag you for filth.

Your reputation
would be worthless

like the rags that you
use to wipe your ass with.

Never mind.

It's already shit,

considering you got
fired from the church

after your minister
killed your mistress

and then himself in your office.

You walking around here
like your shit don't stink

when you're the
filthiest of them all.

And so that you know,

you can gimme all the money
and the cars in the world,

but it breaks my heart that you
couldn't gimme the one thing

that I really needed.

- What was that?

- You, Jacob.

All I wanted was you.

Oh, by the way, make sure
you take your medicine.

I heard syphilis was a brutal
disease if it goes untreated.

- What?

Wait, how'd you know about that?

- The Bible says, "'Vengeance
is mine, ' says the Lord."

Well, let's just say I
gave him a helping hand

in setting this one up.

So you think Tony just
so happened to meet Sade

and bring her to our house?

No.

I set the trap and your
dumb ass took the bait.

Boom.

(Leslie laughs)

(tense music)

- [Speaker] Black love's
a beautiful thing.

- [Speaker] What
you know about that?

- [Speaker] I am
half black, remember?

- [Speaker] True.

Just a damn shame...

- So how did it go?

- Great.

Not only did I lose all my shit,

my soon-to-be ex-wife admitted

she's the reason I have a STD.

By setting me up.

- What?

Damn, Leslie got balls.

Excuse me for saying, but
I'm kind of impressed.

- You're not excused and
this shit's not funny.

That bitch could
have ruined my life.

- And which bitch
are you referring to?

I mean, you sleep with so many.

- (sighs) Jesus.

- And because of that,

the only person that could
have ruined your life is you.

Why don't you take some
accountability for once?

Speaking of, have
you heard from JR?

- No.

- Oh, that's right.

You kicked him out

and told him you never
want to see him again.

- Little nigga shouldn't
have did what he did.

- Oh, you mean tell the truth?

(phone buzzing)

- I really don't wanna deal
with this shit right now.

(phone buzzing)

Hello, Father.

- I oughta come
across this phone

and slap the shit outta you.

Now what I need you to do,

I need you to
address me properly.

- (sighs) My apologies, Bishop.

- That's what I thought.

Show some reverence when
you're addressing me, son.

But anyway, I need
you to come home.

We need to talk.

- But it's like an hour drive.

I'm already tired.

Is this something we can
talk about over the phone?

- Did that sound like a
suggestion or option to you?

Get your ass in the
car and come home, now.

- Yes, Bishop.

(phone smacks)

I've been summoned.

(ominous music)

- With the offering
that we got on Sunday,

we are definitely able
to start construction

in that new theater complex

that you always wanted to add
on to at the second location.

- God is good.

- Hell, we might even
start making plans

in that third location with
all the money that we got.

- (laughs) Now that's
what I like to hear.

- Oh yeah, God is good.

- [Augustus] That's
what I love to hear.

- Here you are, gentlemen.

A freshly squeezed
lemonade for you, Deacon.

- Thank you, Cecelia.

- You're welcome.

And I made this one
just for you, Bishop.

Freshly squeezed lemons,
not too much sugar,

because you know we have to
watch out for your pre-diabetes

and your blood pressure.

- Yes.

She always looking out for me.

- And I always will.

- Bishop, you are truly blessed.

He that finds a wife,
finds a good thing.

- Yes, yes, that's
true, Stephen.

However, wives are to submit
to the husband as to the Lord.

- Amen.

- For the husband is
the head of the wife

as Christ is the
head of the church.

See, happy man,

(kisses) your house
will continue to stand.

- I definitely can't
argue with that.

- And neither can I.

- You see, I am blessed.

And when a man of
God is blessed,

the people will be as well.

- Amen to that.

- Amen.

(ominous music)

(door thumps)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

(doorbell rings)

- I'll get that.

- Thank you.

Yes.

I tell you, Deacon,

that was some wonderful
news you told me.

- Oh yeah, there's more coming.

- I mean, that's what
I would love to hear.

Love to hear.

- Oh.

Jacob.

Oh, so good to have you home.

- It's good to be here.

- Well, how was your trip?

- It was all right,
it was all right.

- Good, good.

- I really appreciate
the great news.

God is good.

- You know your dad
is expecting you.

- Wow.

Wow, young Jacob.

- Deacon Myers.

- It's good to see you.

- Good to be seen, I guess.

- Wow, yes, yes.

Considering everything

that you've been
going through lately,

I heard what happened
down at your church.

I'll be keeping
you in my prayers.

- Please do.

- Well, I...

I guess I better be going now.

God bless you, Bishop.

- Stephen, if he
blesses me any more,

I'll probably be
greater than him.

(laughs)

- Alright, well, thank you
for everything, Cecelia.

And thank you for the lemonade.

- You're welcome.

Goodbye, Deacon.

- See you later, Deacon.

Cecelia?
- Yes.

- Can you give us a few minutes?

I need to have a
conversation with our son.

Alone.

- Of course, Bishop.

- Have a seat.

So.

How you been, son?

- I...

I've been better.

- I'm sure you have,

considering your whole
damn life been going down

in the flames of hell.

Hear you lost your
church, your wife.

You see, none of this
would be happening

if you never left the covenant.

- God called me to
start my own ministry.

- Blasphemy.

That wasn't God.

That was ego, that was pride.

And as you know, pride
goes before a fall,

and boy, you're falling
real hard and fast.

- I just felt...

I just felt it was time for
me to start my own thing,

be my own man and
stand on my own name.

- Oh, boy, please.

You wouldn't have the very
little that you do have

if it wasn't for me.

It was my name who created you.

My name put you in rooms

that you ain't had
no business being in.

Nobody know nothing about
no passive Jacob Thorne

if it wasn't for me.

Bishop Augustus Thorne.

- Yeah, yeah, the great Bishop.

Do you know how exhausting
it is to be your son?

To always have to live
up to your standards,

always searching
for your approval,

but to always have to
live in your shadow?

- (laughs) Son.

Those who live in the
shelter of the most high

will find rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.

We all live in
someone's shadow, son,

so why is it so hard
for you living in mine?

You see, I worked very
hard to get to where I am.

And God saw fit to elevate me
just a little lower than him.

And now, look at me.

Look.

(laughs) Look at me.

And then when I look at you,

I see disappointment,
unworthiness.

Son, I need you to look at
me when I'm talking to you.

And I also see shame.

Do you know how
embarrassing it is

to have bishops across the
country calling me all times

of the day telling me how my
own son is losing his church?

The same son who decided to
break away from the diocese

and deflect from the covenant.

See, your disobedience and
rebelliousness have put you

in the place where
you are right now.

And look at you.

No church, no wife, no son.

Tell me something, Jacob.

Do you even know where
Jacob Jr is right now?

- No sir.

- Well, fortunate
enough for you, I do.

You can come in now!

(tense music)

- JR.

- Yes, he called me

and told me that you
kicked him outta the house.

- But did he tell you why?

- Yes, he shared his truth.

That why I thought it would be
best to bring him over here.

That way we can smooth out
some of the rough edges he had.

And I believe we made
some good progress.

Isn't that right, Jacob?

- Yes sir.

- JR, we need to talk.

- I ain't got nothing
to say to you.

- Good.

That means I can talk and
you can do all the listening.

- I'm good on that.

- Jacob Emmanuel Thorne, Jr.

Go talk with your father, now.

- Yes, Bishop.

(tense music)

You said you wanted to talk.

So talk.

- JR, I just...

Lemme say I'm sorry.

- I think we've already
established that.

- You and that damn...

You do realize you're the reason

why you're in this mess, right?

- No.

I believe the reason I was
kicked out your house is

because you got upset at
the fact that I told Leslie

about you fucking your
cousin's girlfriend.

- Are we gonna act like you
weren't trying to rape a girl

that I tried to tell
you to stay away from?

- What's the difference in
what I did and what you do?

Doesn't the Bible say something

about removing the
plank from your eye

instead of worrying about
the speck in someone else's?

Damn hypocrite.

And by the way,

in regards to Jada,

the Bishop talked to her father.

He was able to
smooth things over

so her father won't be pressing
any charges against me.

- Yeah, I'm sure it's
money involved in that.

- Either way, the Bishop
took care of shit.

He stepped in and did
what needed to be done.

Unlike you.

- JR, why do you
think he did it?

- 'Cause he actually
cares about my wellbeing.

- No, bullshit!

That man don't care about
me, you, Jada, or her father!

Anything that man
does is for himself.

Anything!

- Have you even looked
in the mirror lately?

The man you just
described is you.

But unlike you,

the Bishop was willing
to do whatever it took

to fix the situation instead
of discarding me like dog shit.

And that is because he
actually cares about me.

I really do
appreciate the Bishop.

I know that in his
own way, he loves me.

And I love the Bishop.

- Boy, you sound like
you idolizing that man

like you in a cult or something.

- And you sound
like you're jealous.

(tense music)

You know, the Bishop told me
about how you left the church

to answer God's calling,

to start your own ministry?

Funny how you use
God as an excuse

for not being able to live
up to the Bishop's standards.

And yet you're always riding me

about living up to
your expectations?

When obviously it looks like
you couldn't do the same.

(laughs) But you know what?

It all makes sense now.

You're trying to be him.

I mean, look at you.

The way you talk, the
way you carry yourself.

Like this perfect man who
never does anything wrong.

You're trying to
be like the Bishop.

You're trying to be the Bishop.

Well, guess what, Jacob?

You'll never be the Bishop.

(tense music)

Hey, Grandma.

- Hey, baby.

So, I'm about to make dinner

and I'm making some of
your favorite things.

Now you'll stay, won't you?

- Yes ma'am.

- Good.

(tense music)

- Well, let's bow our
heads for the blessing.

- Well, why don't we let
Jacob do it this time, Bishop?

- I don't...

- Yes.

- Fine.

Go ahead, son.

- Let us pray.

Dear heavenly Father,

we thank you for this food
that we're about to receive.

We ask that you bless
the wonderful hands

that prepared this meal.

We also ask that you
nourish our bodies

so that we can go out into the
world and continue your way

with our lives.

It's these things we
ask in Jesus' name.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Ah.

Sound like you know what
you're doing there, boy.

There may be just
hope for you yet.

Maybe.

- Bishop.

(doorbell ringing)

I'll get that.

- No, I got it, Mom.

- Okay, thank you, baby.

- You doing just like me.

- Adrienne.

- Jacob.

- Wow, it's been a minute.

- Yeah, it has.

How have you been?

- I'm sure you've heard by now.

- Yeah, but you know,

you can't always believe
what you hear, right?

Hello, everyone.

Sorry to interrupt you guys
while you're having your dinner.

- No problem at all.

Would you care to join us?

- I would love to, Mrs. Thorne,

but I'm gonna have
to take a rain check.

- Okay.

- Bishop, I brought
over those papers

that you needed to be
signed immediately.

- Yes, I gotta get
on that immediately.

If y'all would please excuse me.

- Of course, Bishop.

(ominous music)

- [Nadia] So, how's
everything going?

- How do you think?

This is the Bishop we're
talking about here.

- Mm, that bad, huh?

- Yeah.

And to make things
worse, JR's here.

- JR?

What, what's he doing there?

- I don't know.

Apparently he called the
Bishop after I kicked him out.

Been here with Bishop
and Mom ever since.

- Oh, I see.

- It's weird though.

It's like Bishop has
some weird hold over JR,

like he's in some trance.

I tried to talk to him today,
but that didn't go well.

I'll try again tomorrow.

It's a good thing I
packed the overnight bag

just in case I had to
stay, 'cause here I am.

- Yeah, good thing.

- Nadia.

You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Look, I'm gonna go ahead
and call it a night.

I'll...

I'll talk to you later, okay?

- Okay.

Good night.

- Good night.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

- Good morning, Bishop.

- Grand rising, son.

- Where is everybody?

- Well, your mother's
outside tending to the garden

and Jacob Jr's working
down at the dealership.

I tell you, that boy's
showing some real initiative.

Some serious potential
and some actual promise.

- I see.

Bishop, what'd you do to him?

- What do you mean?

Oh.

You mean investing in time
and attention to the boy?

Being a consistent, strong
presence in his life?

Doing the things his
father should be doing?

Is that what you mean?

- Shouldn't you be
down at the church?

- (laughs) Son.

Lemme remind you some
things that you should know.

I'm a senior pastor
at two megachurches,

a Bishop at a flock
of other churches,

(indistinct) plus I run

the biggest all purpose
car dealership in the city,

a real estate business,

and I co-own a minor
league baseball team.

I have everything
so put together

like a smooth running machine,

I ain't have to be
down at the church,

ain't nowhere else,
for that matter, 24/7.

You see, boy, you don't
get the way I am in life

without knowing
what you're doing.

And remember, everything
our God does is

in decency and order.

Well, since I'm the closest
thing to him that you can get,

so everything I do is on point.

Now you could be just
like that to him,

but just humble yourself and
just come back to the fold.

My prodigal son.

- Yeah, I'ma go on a walk.

- Nah, get a little hot
in the kitchen, huh, son?

- Adrienne?

- Hi.

- You back?

- Yeah, the Bishop had
some papers still left

and he had forgotten them and-

- Hey, you need to
mind your own business.

Don't you have a walk to go on?

- Nice to see you again, Jacob.

- Yeah.

You too.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

- Yes, yes.

Yeah, baby.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

(Augustus moaning)

Oh, fuck.

Fuck.

Huh?

Feel that Moses
rod in you, baby?

- Yeah.

- You like that?
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh, shit, so big.

Oh, you feel that big
Moses rod in you, huh?

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit, damn, I'm gonna...

(Augustus moaning)

Ooh, I'm about to put
these babies in you.

(Augustus moaning)

Oh, shit.

Damn.

- Was that good for you?

- Yes.

Good job, I appreciate you.

- All right, not as much
as I appreciate you.

Is there anything else you need?

- No, that'll be all for now.

- Okay.

- Yes.

(hand smacks)

(door creaking)

(solemn music)

That was quick.

- Yeah.

I bet Adrienne say the
same thing about you.

- Excuse me?

- I saw what you did, Bishop.

You having sex with
Adrienne in your office?

How could you?

How could you cheat on Mama
when she's literally feet away?

- Oh, so you would rather

for me to have sex
with another woman

while my wife is outta town?

Oh, I'm sorry, son, that's...

That's your MO.

- I will not let you disrespect
my mama in her own house.

- Who the hell you
think you talking to?

This is my house and I do
whatever the hell I want to do.

And no one, especially your
weak ass, tell me otherwise.

Let me tell you
something, little nigga.

You too busy trying to do
what I do and be like me

that you don't even have a clue.

See, the difference
between you and I,

I'm upfront about who I am.

Your mama knows about Adrienne

and all the other women
I choose to be with.

You see, I have
a very salacious,

sexual appetite.

And your mother knows

not one woman is gonna
satisfy my craving.

So being the good
wife that she is,

she submits and caters to me

by allowing me to
get what I need,

whenever I want it,
whomever I want it with.

See, son, too busy
playing checkers

that you forgot
how to play chess.

Oh, and son?

If you ever get
in my face again,

tell me what I can and
cannot be doing again, son,

it'll be your ass.

Do you hear me?

- Yes, Bishop.

- Good.

And amen.

(tense music)

(water running)

(crying)

(knocking)

- I knew you was gonna come
by here sooner or later.

- Yeah.

Then you know exactly
what I'm about to ask you.

Adrienne, why the hell
are you fucking my father?

- Yeah, like I have a choice.

- Don't you?

He asks for sex, you say no.

It's as simple as that.

- It's simple?

Is it that simple for you to
keep your dick in your pants

even when they say no?

Hm?

Is it that simple for you
to not force yourself on us

after we say that we don't
want it over and over again?

Until we just don't
say anything anymore.

Huh?

- Adrienne, I've never
forced myself on anyone.

- Your father did.

- What?

- You remember when
my parents died?

- Yeah, of course.

- It's most devastating
night in my life,

or so I thought.

And your father, the
Bishop was so gracious,

taking me in, raising me.

And then one night
he came to my room

and he said that I
wasn't pulling my weight.

I was confused because
I was doing everything

that I thought I could to
show that I was appreciative.

I didn't understand
what he meant.

I didn't understand
what he meant

until he started
reaching up my skirt

and taking my panties
down and touching me.

I was 15.

And even then I knew
that it was wrong.

But he was able to convince
me that I wanted it.

It was something that I needed.

And it continued the entire
time I was living there.

- Damn.

What about my mom,
does she know?

- No.

She don't have any idea.

She just found out about our
situationship a few years ago

when she saw us in their bed.

- That motherfucker.

- Yeah.

(laughs) I thought all
this shit was stopped

when I moved out when I was 18,

but instead the Bishop
quickly showed me

that he had a hold on me.

He paid for me to go to college.

He got me a job.

He pays my rent.

In exchange, I just
do whatever he asks.

Sometimes that includes sex.

I mean, how can I say no, right?

I have nothing.

- Adrienne, that son of
a bitch preyed on you.

Your vulnerability,
your dependence on him.

He took advantage and we
have to go to the cops.

- Go to the cops?

And say what?

That the man that was
molesting me when I was 15 is

the same man that I'm
willingly sleeping with now

to afford my
comfortable lifestyle?

- Adrienne, we have
to do something.

And there could be others.

- There are plenty of 'em.

No one's stupid enough
to go against the Bishop.

No one.

(ominous music)

(water running)

(pills rattling)

(door slams)

- I can't believe this bullshit!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What got you all stirred up?

- Bishop!

He thinks he can do
whatever he wants

and not suffer the consequences
no matter who it hurts!

- Isn't that the pot
calling the kettle black?

- Nadia, I'm not playing.

Not only does he have our son
wrapped up in his bullshit,

this man is sleeping with
other women on my mother.

And not just sleeping with 'em,

he's literally forcing
himself on 'em.

At least it's one woman
I know for a fact.

I saw it with my own damn eyes.

And if he's doing this to her,

I know he's gotta be
doing it to somebody else.

But who?

Who else has the Bishop
sexually assaulted?

(glass shattering)

The hell?

Nadia, what's wrong with you?

- Me.

- What?

- You asked, who else has the
Bishop sexually assaulted?

And the answer is me.

While you were going
through seminary,

you were spending more
time at the church,

which meant less time with me.

So I started to feel lonely.

The Bishop, he sensed
how desperate I was
for companionship,

so we started to spend
more time together.

One night when you
were at a conference,

the Bishop and I, we got
together and had a few drinks.

(ominous music)

(kissing)

One thing led to another.

But then I started to feel
guilty about what was happening

and I changed my mind.

I changed my mind, I, I
don't wanna do this anymore.

- Just relax.

- No, I, I changed my mind.

I don't wanna do this.

No.

No, no, I, I changed my mind.

I don't want to do this anymore.

- [Augustus] No,
no, on, just relax.

- [Nadia] No.

- [Augustus] It'll be alright.

- No.

No, no.

No.

I told him to stop,
but he wouldn't.

I kept saying no over and
over again, but he just...

He just wouldn't stop.

No, no!

Stop!

No, stop!

Stop!

Stop.

Stop.

Jacob.

- That night.

The night at the conference,

the night he did what he
did to you, that was...

- 20 years ago.

- No.

Are you telling me that JR is?

(solemn music)

- Here you are.

- Hey, honey.

- Dinner'll be ready shortly.

- Thank you, baby.

You so good to me.

- (laughs) Of course I am.

It's my duty.

- (laughs) Amen.

Amen.

- Hi, sweetheart.

- Hey, Grandma.

Bishop.

- JR, how are things
down at the dealership?

- Great.

I'm really enjoying it.

For the first time in my life,
I feel good about myself.

- All right.

- And I have you
to thank for that.

- (laughs) I'm just the
vessel that God used

to point you in the
right direction.

You have a bright future
ahead of you, a calling.

A calling that may lead you
right down to the pulpit.

- Amen.

- I don't know about
all that, Bishop.

- And why not?

Oh, my wonderful grandson.

You see, Jacob was a liar,

Peter had a temper,
David had an affair,

Noah was drunk, Jonah
ran from God, and Paul?

Oh my goodness,
he was a murderer.

Now I know if God can use them,

he most definitely can use you.

- Amen.

- God has a plan
for your life, son.

Just trust me.

Just trust me.

- Is that the line you
use to seduce someone

before you rape 'em?

(ominous music)

- What?

- I know you lost your mind
coming in the house like this.

I need you to apologize
and show some respect.

- Respect went out the window

when you decided to
force your dick on women

who repeatedly tell you no.

- What is going on?

- Do you know about this, Ma?

Do you know Bishop was
out here raping women?

- Well, I knew about the
extramarital affairs, but rape?

No, I had no idea about that.

- That's because it
isn't true, Cecelia.

I've been honest with
you about everything

from the very beginning.

The devil just using that boy

to try to tear down
everything I have built.

Why?

Because he just envious

that everything he touched
was destroyed by God

as a punishment by
stepping outta line.

(ominous music)

And you think that's
something, boy,

you just wait for all
the fire and brimstone

that's gonna rain it down on you

for all these false
accusations spewing out

of your damn mouth!

- Come off it, Bishop!

Are you really about to sit
here and put God in your lie?

Tell me.

20 years ago, when I was on a
retreat that you sent me to,

tell me you didn't rape Nadia.

- What?

- Yeah.

Tell him, Bishop.

How even though she told
you no several times,

you still forced
yourself on her.

- That, that can't be true.

- Oh, but it is.

Tell 'em, Bishop.

Answer me!

Tell 'em how you raped my
woman and got her pregnant!

- Dad, what are
you talking about?

- See, that's just it, JR.

Technically, I'm
not your father.

He is.

(tense music)

- Jacob Jr-

- Hold up.

You mean to tell me that
you're not my grandpa,

but you're my father?

- Say it, pops.

- Yes.

- And it's because of
that you sent Nadia away

all them years ago.

- I'm pregnant.

And you're the father.

What are we gonna do when Jacob-

- No, what you're
gonna do is tell Jacob

that you're pregnant
with his baby.

I'm sure that won't
be too hard to believe

since your fast ass is always
forcing yourself on him.

- You mean like you did me?

- I ain't force shit.

You wanted it.

It's not my fault you felt
guilty and got scared.

Now, I don't ever
want to hear that shit

ever come outta
your mouth again.

You understand me?

- Yes.

- Good.

Now, this is what
you're gonna do.

(solemn music)

- After I told you
I was pregnant,

the Bishop paid me to break
up with you and move away.

And when I decided to move back,

of course the Bishop found
out and he wasn't happy.

But the foundation
had already been set.

It was as if the lies had
already settled in my mind

as the truth.

- You mean to tell me
after all this time,

all the arguments, all the
insults you hurled at me

for being a horrible father,
JR's not even my child?

The Bishop is JR's father?

- Yes.

The Bishop is JR's
father, not you.

Jacob, wait!

Jacob, please!

Oh god.

- So you're not my grandfather,

you're my father?

And you're not my
father, you're my...

I have a brother?

- Looks that way.

- And the only reason
that I exist is

because you raped my mother?

- Son, it's not what you're-

- No!

I don't want to hear any
more of your bullshit.

- Son, I know you're angry,
but you gotta watch how you-

- Fuck you!

Fuck all this.

- JR, wait.

- Boy, you get back
here right now!

You see what you did?

- What?

Tell the truth?

- Okay, motherfucker,
you wanna play this game?

Alright, let's play.

Yes, I did have sex with Nadia,

but I didn't rape that bitch.

She wanted it,
she begged for it.

Just like all the other women

who constantly throw
themselves at me,

asking me for this dick.

- And what about Adrienne?

Bishop, she was 15 when
you started molesting her.

- Fast hell, bitch is lying.

She started pushing up on
me when me and your mother,

outta the kindness of
her heart, took her in.

I didn't touch that girl.

I didn't start messing
around with her

until after she was of age.

- Let me guess,

she wanted it so bad like
everybody else, right?

- Exactly!

Just like Nadia.

And for your
information, your woman,

she sure thrown that pussy at me

all the time behind your back.

But out of love and respect
for you as my son, I resisted.

That's until I couldn't.

So yeah, I sent you away,

so I could do what
we both wanted to do.

I didn't force myself
on her or Adrienne,

or any of these other bitches!

They wanted me.

Hell.

I mean, who can blame them?

I mean, it ain't my fault
everybody loves the Bishop.

Maybe!

Just maybe, if you was
givin' it right to Nadia

in the first place, I
wouldn't have had to.

(fist smacks)

(Bishop laughing)

You know that fucked up, right?

(fists smacking)

(screaming)

"And the parents must
say to the elders,

'This son of ours is
stubborn and refuses to obey.

He's a glutton and a drunkard.'

Then all the men of the church
must stone him to death.

In this way, you will
purge from among you."

Ah, you grateful son of a bitch.

Come on, choke then, let
me kill your bitch ass!

- Augustus, get your
hands off him right now!

- Get the fuck out
of my house, now!

- Gladly!

(dramatic music)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

It's time to take
down the Bishop.

I'm gonna need
your help to do it.

(dramatic music)

(phone buzzing)

- Hello?

- Adrienne.

It's Jacob.

- What do you want now?

- I want what you want.

Justice.

- Jacob.

- Look.

What if I were to tell you

I have somebody that's
willing to stand with you?

(dramatic music)

- Glory to God in the church.

Lemme tell you something.

Galatians 6:6 says,

"Those of you who are taught
the Word of God shall provide

for your teachers, sharing
all good things with you."

Not some, not just a
little bit, but all.

- [Congregation] Amen!

- And now, sharing
all good things,

providing for your teachers.

And the scriptures continue
by saying, "Don't be mislead.

You cannot mark the
justice of God."

- [Congregation] Amen.

- You'll always
harvest what you plant.

See, see, see, see, when you
take care of the man of God,

you are sowing seed
into fertile ground.

See, see, when you bless
us, you bless yourself.

- Praise him!
- Hallelujah.

- That's right, when you
bless us, children of God,

you bless yourself.

You are commanded by God himself

to take care of your pastors.

- [Speaker] You better
preach it, Pastor!

- Those of us who
labor before you.

Why?

Did somebody just
ask the question why?

- [Speaker] Y'all
don't hear him.

- Well, I'm about to
tell you the answer,

because this anointing
comes with a price.

And like my man Kendrick
say, this ish ain't free.

Can I get amen, somebody?

Hallelujah.

This ish.

- Amen.
- Praise him.

- Excuse me, gentlemen,
it's not time for prayer.

- Your time is up, I'm afraid.

- What?

- Augustus Thorne,
you are under arrest.

- On what charge?

- Rape, sexual
assault and battery,

child sexual abuse, and
other sexual misconduct.

- This is absurd.

- Stop resisting.

- Do you know who I am?

I am the pillar of this city.

I am the man of God.

- You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and
will be used against you

in a court of law.

- I'm God's anointed one and
the Bible says touch not-

- Yeah?

Well, you should have
kept that same energy

when you decided to
touch all them women

that didn't ask to be touched.

- That's blasphemy, what
are you talking about?

I ain't touched, what
are you talking about?

Get outta here!

- [Reporter] In regional
news earlier today,

a prominent pastor of one
of the biggest churches

in the southeast region
has been arrested

after being accused of rape
and other sexual crimes.

- [Reporter] Authorities
arrested Bishop Augustus Thorne

today while he was
preaching on the pulpit.

They tell us there have been
witnesses who have come forward

saying that Thorne
sexually assaulted them,

with one saying that it began
when she was a teenager.

Investigators say that Thorne
is being charged with rape,

sexual assault and battery,
child sexual abuse,

and sexual misconduct.

- JR.

- No.

Just let him be.

(solemn music)

(Augustus sighs)

- How you doing today, Bishop?

- I'm not doing so well.

Now you want to tell me why
I'm still in this hellhole?

- Well, I'm sorry, Bishop.

The DA is not offering bail.

- What?

You talking about me?

- I understand.

But because of the
extent of your charges

and who you are and how
well connected you are,

the powers that be feel that
you might be a flight risk.

- That's bullshit.

I ain't going anywhere
'cause I'm innocent.

I have nothing to
hide, you hear me?

Nothing.

- Well, is it true?

- What?

- Listen, I'm speaking to
you as your attorney, Bishop,

so anything that you say
to me will be considered

attorney-client privileges.

You ain't gotta worry about me
saying shit, you understand?

But I need to know, are
the allegations true?

Did you have sex with those
women against their will?

- I just can't believe you just
fixed your crooked ass mouth

to ask me some shit like that.

- But you did not answer
the question, Bishop.

- No.

No, this shit isn't true.

Those women wanted it.

They begged for it.

Hell, if anything, they was
harassing me for this dick.

I'm the victim here.

I'm the one being hung
on the cross to die.

Just like Jesus was
innocent, so am I.

So use that degree of yours
or whatever it is you gotta do

to get me the fuck outta here.

- Yes, Bishop.

Guard!

- Shit.

(footsteps thumping)

- JR.

I...

I see you got cleaned
up and everything.

- Yeah.

Where's Grandma?

Well...

I guess technically she would
actually be a stepmother,

you know, considering
recent events.

- You know, regardless
of what happened,

she's still your grandmother
and she loves you very much.

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

- Anyway, I think she's
still laying down.

She ain't got much sleep
since all this shit went down.

- I can feel that.

Can you...

Can you give her a
hug and a kiss for me

and tell her I love her?

- Why can't you
do that yourself?

JR.

We need to talk.

- How many times do we have
to keep going through this?

There is nothing for
us to talk about.

- Will you at least tell
me where you're going?

- Oh, so now you care?

- I've always cared, Jacob Jr.

Always.

- Well, it's a little too late
to play the father role now,

brother.

(tense music)

I'm out.

(dramatic music)

- [Reporter] We interrupt

your regularly
scheduled programming

with this breaking news.

We are live outside
of the courtroom

as authorities say
that all the charges

against Bishop Augustus
Thorne have been dropped.

- What?

- The DA's office has
found that the evidence

against Bishop Augustus
Thorne to be insufficient.

Based off of that information,

we have no choice but
to drop all charges.

- That's bullshit!

Sorry, sorry, Ma.

- It's all right, son.

"'For my thoughts are
not your thoughts,

neither my ways your
ways, ' declares the Lord."

Don't you worry.

Everything's gonna work
out just like it should.

Trust me.

(ominous music)

- By the way, great
job today, Taylor.

And the rest of that money
will be in an offshore account

that only you have access to.

Now you can retire a rich man.

- Thank you.

- No, no, I should
be thanking you.

- So what about the Bishop?

- Well, it's in God's hands now.

(ominous music)

(Augustus moaning)

- Oh, shit.

(Augustus moaning)

Oh, shit, I love sex.

Oh, God, you gotta take
this cup away from me.

It is killing me,
God, it's killing me.

Please take this
cup away from me.

Take...

(Augustus moaning)

Not your will, God.

Not your will, but
my will be done.

My will be done.

(Augustus moaning)

Oh, shit.

(bed creaking)

(Augustus sighs)

(doors thumping)

(water running)

God, my will be done.

- [Cecelia] Here you are.

- Yes, I'm so glad
to finally be home.

- And I'm glad to have you home.

- Oh, yes.

(laughs) Mm.

I tell you, this
lemonade, I swear,

always have that extra
special loving in it.

- Yeah.

Well, you know I make that
extra special for you, right?

- Hmm.

- Freshly squeezed lemons.

Not too much sugar.

- Oh.

- With just the right
amount of aconitine.

- Honey.

Aconitine, what do you?

- It's a poison.

(glass clatters)

And it comes from a
plant called monk's hood.

It's known as wolfsbane.

- You didn't...

- Oh yeah.

Just a little something I've
been growing in my garden.

- Where is everybody?

- Well, your mother's outside
tending to the garden.

- You see, I've been
putting small traces

in your lemonade
for a while now.

- What are you talking about?

- So that way when I
put in the lethal dose,

it'll speed up the process.

(Augustus coughing)

- Process?

Process of what?

- Your death.

- (coughs) What are you doing?

- Oh, what you are
experiencing right now is

shortness of breath.

And then you'll tend to...

(Augustus vomiting)

Vomit.

(Augustus gasping)

- What...

What is happening to me?

- You are now in the beginning
stages of a heart attack.

(Augustus coughing)

Yeah.

A fatal one.

- Help me.

Help me, please.

- You see, I actually
did know how you raped

and sexually assaulted
all of those women.

- God, please.

Help.

- Did you actually think I would
let you get away with that?

With what you did to them
and what you did to me?

For all those years?

- Please help.

- "'Vengeance is
mine, ' says the Lord."

Well, vengeance may be the
Lord's, but karma's a bitch.

And that bitch is me.

(Augustus gasping)

Yes, I have an emergency.

Yes, it's, it's,
it's my husband.

It's Bishop Augustus Thorne.

I, I think he just
had a heart attack.

You gotta hurry.

Yes, yes.

The address is
1971 Parkview Lane.

Please hurry, please, please!

Thank you.

Well, I guess I better
clean up this mess

before the paramedics get here.

(solemn music)

- Checkmate.

- Jacob Thorne Sr?

- That's me.

(slow music)

Really?

Day of my father's funeral?

(glass clinking)

- Yes, my divorce is
officially finalized.

So now we can celebrate.

(dramatic music)

- But Jacob...

- (shushes) Jacob, your
cousin, your best friend,

remember, slept with your girl.

So fuck Jacob.

- Yeah, fuck Jacob.

- Yeah, so now you can fuck me.

(sensual music)

- Thank you for that.

That was the coroner's office.

Even though the
preliminary report was done

24 hours after the
Bishop's death,

the official autopsy
report states

that Augustus Thorne
died of natural causes.

Your plan worked.

Your plan worked.

- With your help, of course.

(gentle music)

- (laughs) You have
got to be kidding me.

She wants me to do what?

- The first lady is requesting

that you find a way to drop
the charges against the Bishop.

And if you were to do that,

you would be
handsomely rewarded.

And by the way, there's
more where that comes from.

Trust me.

Now,

do we have a deal?

(solemn music)

- And now that that
bastard's gone,

you and I can live our
lives happily ever after.

- Amen to that.

(kissing)

- For this is what
the word of God says.

"'For I know the plans

I will be found by you.

I will end your captivity
and restore your fortunes.

I will gather you out of
the nations where I sent you

and bring you home
again to your own land."

(phone buzzing)

(laughs)

- So he's finally
out the picture.

- He is finally gone.

And you know what that means.

We can do whatever we wanna do.

- Wherever we want do it.

- Mm, anywhere, anywhere.

And we can do whatever
you wanna do too.

- I can't wait.

(laughs)

- "So forget about
the former things.

Do not dwell in the past.

See, I am doing a new thing."

(kissing)

That's right, church.

God says he's doing a new thing.

And that new thing
starts right now.

Yes, Bishop is gone.

But God's mission continues.

It's a new dawn and a new day.

So what the church say?

- [Congregation] Amen.

- Amen.
