So I said, "Darlin', you're
just gonna have to trust me."

How many times
I got to tell her?

You talking about your wife
or your girlfriend?

I'm talking
about your sister,
you smart aleck.

All right, rookie.
What's going on with this call?

Dispatch wasn't
really clear.

A citizen complaint,
disturbing the peace.

I'm not really sure
what that means.

Well, besides a whole lot
of paperwork for you,

it could mean anything
with these folks.

Keep your eyes
and ears open.

[ Door Creaks ]

[ Hissing ]

[ Police Radio Chatter ]
Where is everybody?

[ Hissing Continues ]

[ Hissing Continues ]

[ Man #1 ]
Oh!

[ Siren Wails ]

[ Chattering ]

Oh, yeah.
This is my kind of church.

No, no, no, no. Don't even
think about it. That food
is part of the crime scene.

Isn't a victim
supposed to be part
of a crime scene too?

Really?

What? I'm Catholic.

I don't even wanna know
what you are.
Well, hungry.

Aaron Matthews, 35-year-old
assistant minister...

of the Holiness Pentecostal
Charismatic Church.

He was killed on the altar.
What, by a bolt
of lightning?

[ Chuckles ]
That would be ironic.

Who says God doesn't have
a sense of humor, huh?

There are signs
of a struggle.
Looks like he was attacked.

Knocked over the pulpit...

and then broke
through a plastic lid
that covered the snake pit.

I'm sorry. Did you
just say "snake pit"?

Cottonmouths, copperheads
and rattlesnakes.
Oh, crap!

[ Hissing ]

You see? He was bitten,
most notably on his hand.

That's a hand?
Yeah.

Swollen to four times
its normal size.

My best guess--
cause of death: a snake bite.

You haven't
examined the body?

What part of "cottonmouths,
copperheads and rattlesnakes"
don't you understand?

The part that has
you peeing yourself
like a scared little girl.

I kind of need you
to examine the body, Carlos.
No, no, no.

You kind of want me
to get bitten, right?

As much as it pains me
to say it,

I can't do my job
till you do yours.

And as much
as I love hearing that,

there's absolutely no way
that I'm gonna touch
that body...

until Fish and Wildlife
removes those snakes.

Well, then, I guess
there's nothing left to do
except leave you to it.

[ Woman ]
And you too.
Thank you so much.

[ Jim ]
Good news, huh?

Hey, stranger.
Hey.

How you doing?

Oh, not as good
as you, obviously.
Yeah.

1,300 bucks is pretty sweet.
Wow.

Just cashing in on that
forensic nurse big bucks, huh?
Yeah.

That's a lot of longneck beers
and littleneck clams.
You buying?

Oh, uh, more like
medical textbooks...

from the bookstore
at the university, so--

You know you can buy
those used, right?
That is used.

Wow.
[ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]

Uh, so how is Sam?

Uh, you know,
still in Chicago.

So you're good?
Yeah.

Great.

Okay.

You?
Yeah, good.

Okay.

[ Carlos ]
The victim was bitten six times,
but he also had a convulsion.

The abrasions and contusions
on his hands, arms and legs...

are consistent
with knocking over the pulpit.

Then he dropped
to his knees,

broke the plastic cover
around the snake pit
with his thrashing and fell in.

That's why it looked like
there had been a struggle
at the crime scene.

Are you saying
Aaron wasn't murdered?

Oh, no, no.
He was definitely murdered.

Snake bites release a neurotoxin
that affect the cardiovascular
system and stop the heart.

But Aaron's cause of death
was circulatory collapse.

Which means the snake bite
didn't kill him.
Mmm.

He was poisoned
by something else.
Oh, great. Poison.

Easiest way to kill.
So simple, anyone can do it.

Well, my pool of suspects
just got deeper.

* Oh, what a blessedness

* Oh, what a peace is mine

* Leaning on
the everlasting **

Hi.

Sorry.
Uh, Detective Jim Longworth.

You must be
Reverend Trent Staley.

Indeed I am,
Brother James.

Sorry about
your assistant, Minister.

Well, he's gone on
to a better place.

Well, apart from the snakes,
this place isn't too bad.

Unless, uh, Aaron
had problems here.

Oh, no. Brother Aaron
got along just fine.

In fact, everybody here loved
him, even though he'd only been
with us for six months.

He ran all the ministries
I didn't have time
to attend to--

the bowling ministry
and the youth ministry.

What about the
suspects-of-murder ministry?

[ Both Laugh ]

I'm gonna need a full list
of your congregation.

I don't keep track
of my flock that way,
Brother James.

They'll all be here later.
We worship every evening.

But I promise you
no one in this congregation
had anything to do with it.

Here in this sanctuary,
Brother Aaron was
among friends.

What about out there?
Godless nonbelievers.

Satan's children.
Also known
as the rest of the county.

Well, this morning,
before we found Aaron's body,

one of those
godless nonbelievers
phoned 911 anonymously...

to complain about
what goes on here.

We're tracking
that person down, but...
any ideas who that might be?

No. People don't understand
the way we worship.

Quite frankly, Brother James,
I think they're just
too afraid to know.

- [ Snake Hissing ]
- Well, poisonous snakes tend
to have that effect on people.

Where were you this morning?
[ Laughs ]

You funny,
Brother James.

I can see I'm gonna have
my work cut out
for me with you.

Yeah. No, seriously,
where were you, Reverend?

Bible study.

I was teaching
my favorite book--
Thessalonians.

"God is just.

He will pay back trouble
to those who trouble you...

and give relief
to you who are troubled."

Huh.

[ Cell Phone Rings ]

[ Beeps ]

Daniel?

Really?

Send me the address.
I'm on my way.

[ Jim ]
We traced the anonymous call
to the church back to you.

No, that call
wasn't from me.

The number you traced the call
back to belongs to my ex.

I pay his cell phone bill
and his car insurance.

Thank you.

Uh, it's what we agreed to
in the divorce.
He's unemployed.

I can't believe he's still
making complaint calls.

"Still"?
Has he
done this before?

A few times
since the divorce.

Well, he's upset
about the divorce,

so I can understand
why he'd wanna
lash out at you.

But, uh, any reason
why he'd be angry at Aaron?

He thinks the church
is dangerous, but he doesn't
understand our beliefs.

Yeah. Actually, I'm having
a hard time with that.

Um, what's with the snakes?

Well, they're
the incarnations of the devil.

When we handle snakes,
we're proving our power
over evil.

The Bible says we are
to take up serpents.

And you
take that literally?

Well, it's the way we prove
our faith in the Lord.

It's the same as passing
our hand through fire
or taking poison.

You take poison?
Strychnine.

Pentecostals have been
doing it for a hundred years,
and we're still very much here.

And, uh, your ex,
is he still here?

He's in Georgia
looking for work.

He had to move in
with his folks.

He didn't kill Aaron.
But he still felt compelled
to make a complaint.

Just sounds like there's a lot
more going on to this breakup
than religious beliefs, Frannie.

He blamed Aaron
for our marriage falling apart.

Why? What did Aaron do?
Nothing except show me
the way, praise the Lord.

He just showed me what was
really important in this life,
and the next.

My ex wanted me to choose
between my faith
and my marriage.

And you chose Aaron.
I chose my faith.

It sounds like you
got feelings there
for Aaron.

And maybe you
couldn't have Aaron,

so you made sure
no one else could either?

Now you're accusing me.
That's just... ridiculous.

Where were you
this morning?
I was here, going over the menu.

Then I went
and took inventory at my shop.
I have a small butcher shop.

We sell exotic meats
and specialty cuts.

Anybody here with you?
No.

I was alone.
Is that a problem?

I'll let you know.

[ Daniel ] The alibi
from Frannie's ex checks out.

He's back in Georgia
with his parents.
Working hard or hardly working?

Sitting on their couch
playing video games,
trying to cheer himself up.

Apparently yesterday morning
he got notice that his divorce
from Frannie was final.

So the ex puts
in a last phone call
to complain about the church,

and then he picks up a joystick
and moves on with his
so-called life?

[ Man, Callie Chattering ]

How do we know his mom and dad
aren't covering for him?

They might be,
but so is DeKalb County
in Georgia.

The ex has been on jury duty
the last three days.

So it's a good thing
he didn't ignore that summons.

Hey. Have you figured out
what poison killed Aaron yet?

No, but I did figure out
which poison didn't.
Strychnine.

The thing with poison is you
almost have to know what you're
looking for to run the tests.

Or what you're looking at.
I know what I'm looking at.

Intense cyanosis
of the mucus membrane.

Irritation of the mouth,
esophagus and stomach,

which indicates it was
something he ingested,
not inhaled or injected.

And since it was
something he ingested,

there's a good chance
that the substance was colorless
and probably odorless.

That all you got?
I'm telling you,
I'm running tests.

It feels like
you're walking them--
crawling them even.

And what is all this
disgusting-looking stuff?

That's stomach content.
I had to separate it first,
then test it.

[ Blows ]

That's sausage. Ostrich,
if you can believe it.

The rest is green beans,
um, sweet potatoes,

chicken and mushrooms
and, uh, your favorite--

mac and cheese.
Casseroles.

There were casseroles
at the church this morning.
They're probably still there.

If the casseroles are poison,
the congregation could be
eating them right now.

Go. We'll meet you there.
Yeah.

Hallelujah
and praise the Lord!

[ Shouting ]

You have to believe
to be healed, brother!

In thy name shall they speak
with new tongues.

In thy name shall they
take up serpents.

[ Gasping ]

In thy name shall they
lay hands upon the sick,
and they shall recover.

When I lay my hands upon you,
you will be healed.

- In the name of Jesus, say,
"Thank you, Lord."
- Thank you, Lord!

Oh!

Sorry, Reverend.

Everyone! Every--
Can I have your attention?
Everyone.

- People!
- [ Speaking In Tongues ]

Um, brothers and sisters!

If anyone's eaten
some food from the back,
you may be poisoned!

[ Whooping ]

No, you--
They don't understand.

Oh, they understand.
They understand perfectly.

They have faith that God
will take care of them.

Yeah, and they might
die from poisoning,
same as Aaron did.

That was the hand of God.
Do you believe
in the hand of God?

This isn't about me!
Yes, sir. God sent you here
for a reason.

Yeah! To save your congregation.
To save yourself,
Brother James.

Take a look.

These people
aren't sick with poison.

They are filled
with the Holy Spirit.
Praise the Lord!

This is crazy.
This is crazy!

Do you believe,
Brother James?
Whoa. N-Now, what are you doing?

- Wait a minute.
- You have to have faith,
Brother James.

- No-- Wait a minute.
- Even the little children
have more faith than you do.

No! Wait!
[ Yelling ]

[ Groaning ]

- Damn! This thing stings.
- All right. Keep his hand
above his heart.

My arm is burning.
[ Carlos ]
Shh.

I can feel the venom
running through my veins.

Relax.
[ Callie ] Jim, I need you
to restrict your movements.

How bad is it?
Bleeding, swelling and
discoloration is minimal.

[ Jim Groans ]
It's getting
really cold in here.

Is it cold in here?
Carlos?
Shh.

- Not quite. Relax.
- I can't move my hand.

- I think the venom's
paralyzing me.
- Relax, relax, relax.

All right, his blood pressure
is a little high.

I can't breathe.
[ Gasping ]

- You can't breathe,
but you can talk?
- [ Groans ]

- I see a light.
- What?

I see a light.
[ Gasps ]

Oh! Oh! Oh!

A Band-Aid.
Oh, that makes sense.

You don't have any symptoms.

Except for the bitching
and the drama.

It's a dry bite, Jim.

The snake didn't inject
any poison in you.
No, that's impossible.

It's entirely possible.
Snakes don't always
release their venom.

They don't like to waste it
if they don't feel threatened.

Somebody could have
milked the snake
or removed its venom.

- I can find out for you.
- Why don't you do that?

Do you have
another performance tonight,
or are we done here?

Aaron Matthews?
I thought this was
Reverend Trent's office.

Looks like Trent and Aaron
shared the space.

Two desks, two chairs.
Very Noah's Ark.

And just as old.
He still used a day calendar.

Yeah, it's a small church.
There's not a lot
of resources here.

It says here the day
before Aaron was killed,

he had something
called "Righteous Way"
with Peyton Robinson.

Righteous Way--
that's a prison ministry.

It's an organization
that finds prison chaplains
of all faiths...

to minister
to the prisoners.

That must be one of the
ministries that Aaron took over
when Trent didn't have the time.

Peyton Robinson could have
been a priest, a rabbi,
even the prison chaplain.

Whoever Peyton Robinson is,
it looks like he was the
last person to see Aaron alive,

which makes him
a suspect, so--

I'll find out.
Yeah.

Wait a minute.

He also had
a meeting this morning
two hours before he was killed.

- [ Carlos ]
Who's F.H.?
- Frannie Harper.

Well, hallelujah.
Brother James, my prayers
have been answered.

Really? 'Cause I'm still here.
Well, I prayed
for God to spare you.

You were
the reason I got bitten
in the first place, Reverend.

But hey,
thanks for thinking of me.

You lied to me.

You weren't opening your
restaurant this morning.

You were here,
meeting with Aaron.
I didn't lie, Detective.

You didn't specifically
ask me about Aaron.

I had to ask him
about catering meals
for the church.

You make the meals
for after the service?

Wow. That's
very generous of you.

God has blessed me
with a very successful business.

I consider it part
of my offering to the church
to cater the repasts.

But I know how this must look.
Yeah.
Like you poisoned Aaron.

Look around.

No one else who ate my food
died or even got sick.

So maybe you just
poisoned the food
that Aaron ate.

I didn't poison Aaron.
Now, if you think that,
I can't do anything about it.

But I know the truth
will prevail.

So do I.

May I go now?

Sure.

Mom, you paid 400 bucks
for a book?

A used textbook?

Yeah, that's the best part.
It's already highlighted
and underlined.

- Sounds like cheating.
- I'm still gonna read them.

[ Knocking ]

Uh, you set the table.
I'm gonna get the pizza.

Hi.
Seriously?

Yeah, the, um--

Can you look
at my arm?

It's really starting
to hurt.

Is it swollen or discolored?

No.

Um, I mean, not yet.

But I didn't want it
to get to the point where
I needed medical attention, so--

And I only have
a Band-Aid.

Yeah. I'll take a look.
Come on in.

Thanks.

Hey.
Hey. What's up?

Well, I heard you got
bitten by a cottonmouth.

Yeah.
That's pretty badass.

Yeah.

Yeah, Mom let me have
a mountain king snake once.

Oh, yeah? Where'd you find
a mountain in Florida?

What'd you do to it?

Me? I didn't
do anything.

Yeah, snakes don't bite you
unless you're aggressive
with them first.

Well, I was aggressively
trying not to get bit!

Um-- And good timing.

I've, uh, been...
putting off
mowing the lawn,

so, uh, now I guess
that's gonna be put off
for another few weeks.

- I'll do it.
- Really?

Yeah, if you pay me.
I'll let you swim
in my pool.

I already swim in your pool.

Oh. Right.

Um, what's the going rate
for mowing lawns
these days?

I'm not getting
in the middle of this.
Wow. That bad, huh?

Hey, don't worry.
I'll work with you.

[ Chuckles ]
Right.

And you're all set.

A little ibuprofen,
and you should be good.

Already feels
so much better.
Thank you.

Just-- Snakebite's not
something I had to deal with
in Chicago, you know?

Well, you know
what they say--
once bitten, twice shy.

Hey, don't look
at me, man.

According
to the herpetologist
at Fish and Wildlife,

the cottonmouth
that bit you
had been milked earlier.

Maybe that's why Aaron
was around the snake pit.

So, what's this footage?
Here.

The prison
Aaron Matthews preached at
has closed-circuit television...

to broadcast
religious programming.

This is a prayer session
Righteous Way broadcast
for its Pentecostal prisoners.

Let the Holy Spirit speak
the word of God through you.

Well, even without
all the snakes on him,
I can see that that's Aaron.

- And that's
Peyton Robinson.
- He's a prisoner?

Apparently serving
a 25-year sentence
for manslaughter.

Well, at least
we know where he was
when Aaron was poisoned.

[ Robinson
Speaking In Tongues ]

What's he saying?
He's speaking in tongues.

Do me a favor.
E-mail this footage
to my phone.

I tested all the food
from the church.
And none of it was poisoned?

Killer's too smart
to leave a trail
like that, huh?

Lucky for you,
I'm smarter.

I figured out what poison
was used to kill Aaron.

Salt?
Sodium nitrite.

Looks and tastes
just like table salt.

How much sodium nitrite
would it take to kill a man?
A pinch.

One, maybe two teaspoons
would do the trick.

That's it?
Mm-hmm.

Tell me it's hard to get this.
It's not easy,
but it's not impossible.

It's a food preservative
used to cure meats.

Or kill assistant ministers.

Detective! You're up early.
What, are you checking up on me?

Wanted to ask you
more about these
specialty meats of yours.

Ahh.
Oh, that smells good.

What is that?
That's my breakfast.

Pigs in a blanket
with antelope meat.
You want a taste?

Mm, I'm good.

You sure?
You got to try something.

I figure you
for a Kobe beef man.

Maybe something more exotic
like alligator or buffalo
or raccoon.

Let me guess.
It all tastes like chicken?

You know, that is one thing
that I do not sell.

Well, what about sausages?
Do you make your
own cured meats here?

No, I don't do that.
Then what's this?

That's the second time
you've lied to my face.

No, those aren't mine.
And that's a third.

Frannie, you wanna go for four?
What I mean is
is that I don't make them here.

All right? I don't have
the time or the space
to process my own meats.

I use an outside vendor.
Local farmers package them
for me to sell.

Excuse me.

[ Vehicle Drives Up ]
What?

Wait here.

[ Speaking In Tongues ]

Peyton Robinson?

You're not nervous,
are you, Peyton?

Sir, yes, sir.

Last time I was
in a room like this,

I got jammed up
on a killing
I didn't do.

Yeah, Florida prisons
are full of innocent men.

You got robbery,
assault, manslaughter.

Allegedly.

You got quite the record.

So why would the warden allow
a prisoner serving 25 years
to go over the fence?

I earned that, sir.

I'm a cook
in the kitchen.

I work in a prison farm,
slaughterhouse.

I'm a medical orderly.

Helped save a man's life
in the infirmary.

Got me enough
trust and privilege
for a little C.C.--

community custody.

That's the lowest level
of supervision
in the prison.

So that's why you're allowed
out of the prison walls...

to serve meat
to Frannie's restaurant.

How well do you
know Frannie?

I know she got
a little brother
in the joint.

That makes her good people?
Means she understands
more than most.

- Huh.
- She seems like a decent,
God-fearing woman to me.

You also served meat
to a church yesterday morning--

the same church that Aaron,
your spiritual adviser
in prison, turned up dead.

Here we go.

I figured this was coming.

Corrections officer was
with me the whole time.
You seen him.

But it's been my experience
that preachers
are pretty much hypocrites.

They say one thing
and do another.

But not Aaron.

He was a good man.

He was more like my friend
than my minister.

We used to confide
in one another.

Confide, huh?

So you used to tell him
you were innocent.

And he said--

That he was doubting
the church.

The spirit wasn't speaking
to him anymore.

- Aaron was struggling
with his faith?
- Same as me.

We used to talk about it
all the time.

Why would he confide in you?

I'm trying to tell you
we was friends.

Why would I kill
the last good friend
I have in this world?

[ Both Laughing ]

[ Jim ]
Peyton's lying.

What are you two doing?

Uh, Daniel and I are--
It's all Carlos.

You know, just helping you.

Uh, wh-why do you say
that Peyton's lying?
Just because he's--

The prison farm just sent me
their delivery schedule.

It says that Peyton
was at the church an hour
before Aaron was killed.

And being at the prison farm
also gave him access
to sodium nitrite.

- But he doesn't have motive.
- Oh, he has motive.
I just haven't found it yet.

That's because you don't have
any evidence against him,
but maybe this will help.

Turns out the church records
all their services
and posts them online.

So we have
incriminating video.
Better than that.

Well, great. For a second there,
I was afraid it was gonna be
that honey badger thing.

O-Okay. I just want you
to know that Carlos
made me.

You heard the man.
Let him see it.

Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Jesus.

- [ Speaking In Tongues ]
- [ Congregation Shouting ]

Do you believe,
Brother James?

Whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
You have to have faith!

Hey, hey.
Wait a minute.

Why, even
the little children
have more faith than you.

No, wait!
[ Yelling ]

- [ Carlos, Daniel Laughing ]
- You know that hurt, right?

- You have no idea.
The look on your face--
- What, then or now?

Can we please
get back to work?

Let's see it one more time.
I promise you
it doesn't get old.

Fine. I don't care.

[ Tape Rewinding ]

Stop. Play it back.

...Jesus.

[ Speaking In Tongues ]

That gibberish sounds
awfully familiar. Stop.

Daniel, get me all
of Peyton's prison files.

You have
his criminal record.
No, all his files.

His intake records,
his medical records,

time sheets
from all the jobs
he's done at the prison...

and especially the files
from his prison chaplain.
¿Qué pasó?

Anything you got,
send it to my cell.

You're right.
This is better. Much.

[ Speaking In Tongues ]

Thank you, Jesus.
I was in the spirit
when I said that.

Speaking in tongues.

When people speak in tongues,
the words are different.

They change each time--
each person, right?

Well, I don't expect a
nonbeliever to understand.

Well, maybe you
can explain to me...

why Peyton Robinson,
a man in prison,

used the exact same phrase
you did when he was
speaking in tongues.

Kind of says to me
that he wasn't really
speaking in tongues.

He was just reciting
a phrase he'd already
heard... from you.

Well, I suppose
it's possible.

We've prayed
together before.

You pray with the man
who delivers your meat?

My baby brother
is in prison in Texas,

so I understand
how important it is...

for these men
to have contact
with the outside world.

I met Peyton
when I volunteered
for Aaron's prison ministry.

Oh, yeah. And you volunteered
to be his wife, right?
You're engaged to Peyton?

Peyton had to submit
an application
to get permission to marry you.

But then Aaron
wrote a letter of objection--
stopped the whole thing.

That's why he was poisoned.

Aaron stopped
the wedding, yes,
but I wasn't mad at him.

He was right.
I was marrying Peyton
for all the wrong reasons.

I... was lonely and scared
after my divorce.

So you hooked up
with a guy in prison?

At least I knew
where he was every night.

Look, I know that Peyton
has done some
horrible things,

but he's a good
Christian man now.

The time just
wasn't right for us.
Aaron helped me see that.

I'm surprised Aaron could help
you see anything, considering
his own... crisis of faith.

I guess he's good
at doling out advice
to everyone but himself, huh?

Not true.
Aaron knew exactly
what he was gonna do next.

What do you mean, "next"?

He wanted to leave
Reverend Trent's church,
strike out on his own.

And I had faith in him,
so I agreed to cosign
on a mortgage for Aaron.

For a house?

4,200 square feet of house
that he could convert
into a church of his own.

Why would I poison him
and risk taking on such
a huge financial burden?

Did Reverend Trent
know this?

Not from me.
I felt it was Aaron's job
to tell him himself.

But I know Reverend Trent
would have been upset
to see him go.

Yeah.

[ Hissing ]

[ Trent ]
Kill sister Frannie for
her kind and generous heart?

That doesn't sound
like motive to me.

Even when you found out she
was setting up a new church
with Aaron?

What did you say,
Brother James?

Well, Frannie is by far
the wealthiest member
of your congregation.

Losing her would be
a huge financial blow.
You need to leave.

You had to stop Aaron
from stealing Frannie away
for his new church.

Lies. Get thee
behind me, Satan.

Oh, really?
You kill Aaron,
and I'm the devil?

No, I know the devil
when I see him.

- The devil comes disguised
as a servant of righteousness.
- Yeah. Back at you, Reverend.

Let me tell you
about the battle between
the righteous and the damned.

Oh, yeah?
What about the innocent
versus the guilty?

What about a suspect
who used to be a witness?

Hate is the fist
that would lay
his brother low!

But love is the hand
that would raise him
on high.

Only love
is the hand of God.

Okay, you must be speaking
in tongues, because I have no
idea what you're talking about.

[ Speaking In Tongues ]

I guess this means you're
not coming down to the station
to answer some questions?

I don't answer
to you, Beelzebub.

Brother James,
I know you can hear me.

I won't let you be
corrupted by the devil's
murderous accusations...

or his
cloven-hoofed trickery.

Let me lay hands
on you now.
No, no.

You really don't
wanna do this, Reverend.
The Bible says that God is just.

He will pay back trouble to
those who trouble you and give
relief to you who are troubled.

Say yes, Lord!
Thank you, Jesus!

Ow!

Trent Staley,
you're under arrest for
assaulting a police officer.

Why--

[ Carlos ] Arresting
a preacher's a new low,
even for you.

The man was possessed.
He called me Beelzebub.

There's an inscription
in Aaron's ring--
"T.S. 16"?

T.S.?

Is there a chapter in this book
that starts with a "T,"
ends with an "S"?

"Chapter"?
They're called books.
Give me that.

When I first met him,
he said something
like "thistle."

It's from the second
book of Thessalonians,
chapter 1, verse 6.

"God is just.

He will pay back trouble
to those who trouble you...

and give relief to you
who are troubled
and to us as well."

That's what Trent quoted me
before he hit me
upside the head.

I believe the correct term
is "laying on of hands."

Why is Thessalonians 1:6
so important
to Aaron and Trent?

[ Daniel ]
It makes sense for Aaron.

It's comforting,
especially if he's
struggling with his faith...

and his finances.

I have Trent's bank statements,
last couple of tax returns
and W-2s.

The average pastor's salary
is around $60,000.

Trent makes less
than half of that.

Because he displays
the snakes publicly, he's
required to have a $10,000 bond.

How does
he pay for that?
Frannie.

Without her,
he wouldn't be able
to keep running the church.

That's why he's so against
Aaron leaving and potentially
taking Frannie with him.

Trent doesn't
make a lot of money,
but he sure has a lot of jobs.

Look at all these W-2s--

from Christian magazines,
revival meetings
at other churches.

He even presided over
a Halloween hell house.

He's cobbling
together a living,
one sermon at a time.

Two years ago,
he got a W-2
from Starke for $150.

- Starke Prison?
- Yeah.

It says that he
was a volunteer,
but they paid him.

There's only
one volunteer job at Starke
that pays $150.

Death row.

Trent was an executioner.

[ Jim ]
Thought you might
want this.

No burning.
Not even hot.

Still think I'm the devil?

The devil
is crafty and smart.

You, Detective Longworth,
have no idea
what you're doing.

- But you do?
- As God is my witness,
I did not kill Aaron.

Well, too bad that's not
an alibi I can confirm.

I'm not talking
about Aaron anyway.

Two years ago, you helped
kill Leon Earl Montrose...

by lethal injection
at Starke Prison.

Not very Pentecostal
of you. Oh!

Lying is a sin, Reverend.

Be very careful
what you say next.

The warden promised me
that I would be anonymous.
How did you know?

I didn't.
But you just confirmed it.

So-- So much for
"Thou shalt not kill," huh?

That was God's will.

Says you.
I'm thinking you got
a taste for murder.

Figured next time
someone crossed you,
you'd just play God again.

I don't have to play God.

I got the indwelling
of the spirit
when I was 16 years old.

Besides, Leon Earl Montrose
raped and strangled
a 10-year-old girl.

That he was convicted of.

Even the warden
said Leon Earl was railroaded.

The guy had an I.Q. of 50.
He asked for a coloring book
and crayons with his last meal.

That's why I had
to be there.

If Leon Earl
was meant to be spared,

then the hand of God
would have stopped
that execution.

Through you.

I'm at peace
with what was done.

God is just.

"He will pay back trouble
to those who trouble you...

and give relief
to you who are troubled."

Thessalonians--
Chapter 1, verse 6.

"T.S. 16," right?

Wait.

Those are your initials.

T.S.
Trent Staley.

You took that quote
as your own personal mantra
when you were 16, didn't you?

It's served me well.

Where's your ring, Reverend?

You have it.

In evidence.
I gave it to Aaron.

Yeah, 'cause he was
losing his faith.

That's why
he's milking the snakes
before every service.

He didn't believe.
Aaron was afraid
of getting bit.

You were afraid of him
leaving your church.

I was afraid
for his eternal soul.

I gave him my ring
to remind him
not to get lost.

But it was you
who had the most to lose.

All poisonings are tracked
by the state medical
examiner's board.

When Aaron's case
was entered into the system,

the database found
another death by sodium nitrite.

A homicide?
It was listed as an accident,
so it was never investigated.

May I?
Oh.
[ Chuckles ]

This is our victim,
Marcus Jordan.

Any connection
to Aaron?
Yes. Starke Prison.

Marcus Jordan was an inmate?
No. Marcus Jordan
was a volunteer.

He got paid $150
for one day of work
on the same day as Trent.

Lethal injections
in Florida require
two executioners.

Anonymous executioner.
Besides the warden, no one's
supposed to know they're there.

Looks like somebody
found out.
Yeah, but how?

Marcus and Trent
would've had
their faces concealed.

What about their hands?
Maybe the killer saw
the ring that was on Trent.

And then later met Aaron?
The killer might think
Aaron is the executioner.

Aaron was poisoned.
Maybe the killer was
trying to poison Trent.

Well, obviously,
Trent's not the killer.

This changes everything.
Yeah.

Someone's executing
the executioners.

[ Woman On P.A. ]
Dr. Spieser to Radiology.

Dr. Spieser to Radiology.

Trent Staley
is who the killer
was trying to poison.

So the killer
confused Aaron Matthews
with Trent Staley?

Yeah. Two years ago,
Trent helped execute
a death-row inmate...

from Starke Prison
named Leon Earl Montrose.

I remember that.

Ray was at Starke
before he got transferred
over to Raiford.

Right.
But Leon Earl Montrose
was intellectually disabled,

so everyone thought
that he was innocent.

I'm thinking
that someone wanted
to avenge Leon Earl's death--

someone who was actually
at the execution...

and saw the executioners
there at the prison
that day.

Well, that could be anyone.
I know.

Anyone can apply to be
a witness in an execution--

the victim's family members,
reporters, protestors.

But executioners
are shrouded in secrecy,

and the whole prison
goes into lockdown.

So if I can figure out
when the killer actually saw
the executioners or where,

then maybe
I can figure out who.

Does the killer know
that he poisoned
the wrong person?

That I don't know.

Does Reverend Trent
know that someone
wants to kill him?

I haven't
told him that yet.
Maybe you should.

He's the only one
who knows exactly where he was
on the day of the execution.

- [ Man ] Callie? I need you.
- Maybe you can get him
to retrace his steps.

That way, maybe I can
see who saw him.

Huh.

Thank you.
Yeah, no problem.

[ Door Buzzes ]

In your name, I pray
over this room, O Lord,
to bless it and keep it safe.

Uh, no one's getting
executed here today,
Reverend. I hope.

I take comfort in prayer,
Brother James.

Well, then you
should pray that
I find that killer, huh?

I can't believe someone
would wanna kill me.

Is this what you wore?
Executioner's robe.

It's not very subtle.

Had to conceal
our identity.

By dressing you up
as the Grim Reaper
and bringing attention to you?

It was important
that we were covered
from head to toe.

That's probably why they
got you to wear the gloves.

Except at some point,
you saw fit to take them off.

That's when the killer
saw your ring.
I--

I don't remember.
Well, that's why we're here.

Maybe wearing this
will jog your memory.

Put that on.

This too.

All of it.

Wow. Okay,
walk me through it.

We had on these robes
the whole time.

No one could see us,
not even Leon Earl Montrose,

who was laid out on
that gurney right there.

And this
is how you administer
the lethal injections?

You injected the chemicals
from all three syringes
into the I.V., right?

The first two...

paralyzed his muscles,
put Leon Earl to sleep.

The third
was potassium chloride.
It stopped his heart.

He took
a little breath.

His lips went blue.

[ Panting ]
His eyes rolled back
in his head,

and then Leon Earl went
to his final resting place.

It's-- It's a terrible thing
to watch a man die. I d--

I don't think I'll
ever forget that.

So you did more
than watch, Reverend.

Did you get sick then too?
I felt nauseous.

Did you throw up?
No. Guard!

What happened
after you executed
Leon Earl Montrose, Reverend?

Nothing.
No, you're not
telling me something.

I'll interview the warden. I'll
interview every prison guard
in this place if I have to.

I already walked you
through it.
I wanna get out of here.

Guard!

Really? Huh.
Thank you, Warden.

Mm. Don't forget to put
that ring back into evidence.
Yeah, yeah.

How's Trent?
Sick as a dog.
And not just the first time.

He was sick
after the execution too.
Happens a lot.

Sometimes the guards
get so traumatized about
being part of an execution,

they can't go back
to work in the prison.

What'd the warden tell you?
Before Leon Earl Montrose
was executed,

the prison hosted a reception
just for the witnesses
in one of the meeting rooms.

Ooh! Sounds appetizing.
Yeah, nothing like a snack
before you kill a man, right?

So when Trent got sick
at the execution,

the warden brought him
into that meeting room.

Gave him a can of soda
just to calm his stomach.

Trent takes off his gloves
to open the can--
Revealing the ring.

Who was in the room
with him?
Just the warden.

Oh, and the caterer--

Frannie.

Please, don't do that.

Ah, you're right.
[ Clears Throat ]

It'd probably ruin
my appetite anyway.

I'm talking about Frannie.

You can't arrest her.
I don't believe
she could kill anyone.

No, you don't
wanna believe it.
You need the money.

But she's damaged, Reverend.
She's troubled.
She's got a brother in prison.

I know she's hurt,
and she's angry about that.

But that doesn't prove
that she killed anybody.

I believe
God's will was done.

Well, that's easy for you
to say 'cause "God's will"
is not being done to you.

I'm sure Aaron might
have a different opinion,
but he's six feet under, so--

The wages of sin is death.

Aaron knew that.
He didn't have faith.
That's why he died.

No. He was poisoned because you
couldn't go back to the prison
after you executed Leon Earl.

I mean, you preach the
Ten Commandments, but you
broke "thou shalt not kill."

So you gave Aaron
your ring.

You let him take over
the prison ministry.

You might as well have
killed him yourself.

I've begged God to forgive me
every day since.

I didn't mean to put Aaron
in harm's way.

Well, so much
for the hand of God.

Now the long arm of the law
is about to make an arrest.

You can't go against God's will,
Brother James.

Even when Leon Earl Montrose
was shanked...

and almost died
in the prison infirmary,

God sent an orderly
to nurse him back to health.

Yeah, I know. I read the file.
That orderly saved
Leon Earl's life.

But then you executed him,

so I guess I can see why someone
would be upset about that.

You can't
arrest Frannie.

Who said anything
about arresting Frannie?

Reverend?

Brought you
a little something extra
for the service.

Even made you a sandwich
in case you're hungry.

- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you, Peyton.

Actually, did you know that
Peyton was one of the inmates
in Aaron's prison ministry?

No, I didn't.
Huh.

Oh, before you chow down
on that sandwich,

you should probably also know
that Peyton was the one
that poisoned Aaron.

Yeah, he was working in the
prison kitchen the night that
Leon Earl Montrose was executed.

No, sir.
Prison goes into lockdown
during an execution.

For the general population,
but not for someone
with as high a clearance as you.

You were there helping
Frannie with the reception,

where one of the executioners
stupidly gave his number
to the warden...

and the other one
took his gloves off
to, uh, have a can of soda,

where you saw this.

Reverend Trent's ring.

You're the executioner?

And you're the orderly
that nursed Leon Earl Montrose
back to health.

You spent time with him,
got to know him.

You thought
he was wrongly accused,
just like you.

Leon was innocent.

He had the mind of a child.
He didn't even know
what was going on.

But they
killed him anyway.
And that was wrong!

Someone
should've stopped it.
Someone could've.

[ Groaning ]

If you was a half a Christian,

you would've yanked them tubes
out of Leon's arm
instead of killing him!

You thought you poisoned
the executioner?
You poisoned Aaron by mistake.

It's no big loss.

Aaron was a hypocrite
just like the rest.

Used to stand up in the pulpit
and preach his righteous ways,

but he didn't even
believe them himself,
and neither did I.

I played those fools
like a fiddle.

I even got
old moneybags Frannie
wanting to take my last name.

Why would you do that?
Because they sentenced me
to 25 years!

What the hell else
am I supposed to do?

Yeah, well, now you're
gonna serve 25 more...

for the murder
of Aaron Matthews
and Marcus Jordan.

You can take him.
Probably just put me
in solitary.

Take away my privileges,
which I'll have back
in two years.

At least I'll be out
for the trial.

I'll see you in court,
Reverend.
Pack a lunch.

[ Man ]
Let's go.

You okay, Reverend?
No. Don't.

Oh. It's okay.

I have faith.

Hey, great job on the lawn,
by the way.

Uh, well, figured
I'd better do a good job...

since you're, uh,
seriously overpaying me.

Wait. I'm seriously
overpaying you?

Not if he wants
to go to college.

Hey.

Uh, let's go, buddy.

[ Water Splashing ]

Get you a beer?
Uh, no.

Can't. I'm studying.
Right.

Yeah. Of course.

You know, it's okay
to be bummed about Sam.

No, I'm not bummed
about Sam.

'Cause you're acting
a little bummed, so--

Has she planned a visit...

or... booked
a flight maybe?

No, she just, um--
She needs a couple
of weeks to set up... shop--

uh, acclimate up there.

Yeah, I mean, she's, um,
got big shoes to fill.

It's a big job.

And it's
hard enough for women
in law enforcement anyway.

I mean, if I was her,
I'd be doing exactly
the same thing.

You know.

Prioritizing.

Okay, buddy, let's hit it.

All right.
[ Clears Throat ]

Great job on the lawn.

Yeah, you said that already.
Uh, but thanks.

So, uh, next week?
Yeah, if it's cool
with your mom.

Hey, it's 20 bucks less
I have to give him.

Cool. Later.

Yeah. Later.

You know, sometimes
things work out the way
they're supposed to.
