You press the button, you take a ticket, and you pay the way out. >> Guy drives a $60,000 car and he can't read English. >> Brains got nothing to do with it. My idiot brother drives a vet. Cost 40 bucks to pull that $20. Thank you. Round two's on me. Heavy cream, free sugars, real sugar this time. Maybe a chocolate covered. Dory book life. David was a doctor, a surgeon. He put Wendy on a horse when she was 8 years old. Every year she won her age group. She had lots of friends. She liked school. >> Well, sorry to say it, Mrs. Burman, but uh kids don't usually run away from perfection. When she was 13, we sent her to equestrian camp for the summer. On July 17th, David had a heart attack jogging around the reservoir in Central Park. He was dead before the paramedics arrived. The following year, Wendy spent with psychiatrists and the the promiscuity started and the drugs and she ran away. But but she always came back in a few days. >> One day she just didn't come back at all. >> Last year I got a letter. She said she was all right, but something terrible would happen if I tried to contact her. >> If we could see that letter, >> I'd like it back if that's okay. >> And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit. Shrink did a hell of a job. >> What is it? She joined a conv. >> Get this. Return address 476 Avenue bearing the initial of our Lord into the new kingdom. >> Great. This time of day it's going to take us an hour to get downtown. >> Since when do you have a road map to heaven? >> I don't, but I've been up and down Avenue C. >> See for Christ. Thank you God for the delivery from the earth. Thank you God for the cleansing of our enlightenment of our souls. We are the position that you have put among us. He will lead us through the valley. >> I formed the Charizian temple 7 years ago. The people that come to me are in search of something. Although most of them don't know what it is. >> But uh you do. >> We're all ultimately in search of the same thing. Detective. >> What about this girl? How was her search progressing? >> She was extremely troubled. >> So, you knew her? >> I found Ruth maybe a year ago. She was on the corner of 12th Street selling her body for a vial of crack. A little prayer, some real food. I thought she was back on the right path. >> But she zigged when she should have zagged. >> She disappeared several months ago. >> You called her Ruth. Her mom called her Wendy. She was trying to forget her past life. Can you blame her? Most of these kids, they're straight kittens. All they really need is someone to care about them. >> Someone to pay a little attention when they cry out. >> Yeah. Or a little jail time. >> It's amazing that some of them have survived. The dysfunctional families, drugs, abuse. I won't lie to you, we don't always succeed. But more often than not, I think we're able to turn their lives around. >> Daniel Hendris was young, charismatic, knew the scriptures backwards and forward. By himself, he expanded our congregation by 50%. >> Sounds like a guy you'd want to keep around. >> He was also crazy and became crazier when the membership chose me as their president. >> Did he ever threaten it? >> One Sunday, he stood on the pulpit screaming that we would all die in a lake of fire. >> Yeah. Well, he's got his own pulpit now. >> Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Yeah, but his congregation seems to think he's the real thing. >> The real thing doesn't ask you to donate all the money you could steal from your parents. I wouldn't call what he has a congregation. I call it a cult. >> One of these days, maybe he'll stop trying to save the world, get married, raise a family. >> Any prospects? >> One of those kids that hangs around his church. Pretty girl. Ruth something or other. >> Is this her? >> She was older. But yeah. >> When was the last time he saw her? >> Maybe a month ago. She and Danny came for dinner. >> Being a fanatic's not against the law. >> His girlfriend had ammonium nitrate under her nails. They bought the diesel fuel together. >> It doesn't mean he knew what she was going to do with it. >> The girl liked to ride horses. What does she know about explosives? Hendrick spent four years blowing up things for the army. >> You have a motive? >> Who knows? Maybe he saw a burning bush. Look, he lied about seeing the girl. We can get the entire congregation from his old church to swear he's a nut job. We're talking arson and felony murder. >> There was a great explosion and the person responsible for it is dead. Wendy Burman caused her own death. The case should be closed. But the folks at the DA's office have a hard time sleeping when they think someone is murdered and there's no one left to put in jail. So they racked their brains and they came up with my client. He kidnapped poor Wendy. She died while under his control. He's responsible. But what exactly did he do? He didn't lock Wendy in a closet. He didn't tie her to a chair. No, he made her give up drugs. He made her give up crime. My god, he actually made her read the Bible. AND THAT, ACCORDING TO MR. STONE, is brainwashing. AND THE SON OF A [ __ ] SHOULD ROT IN JAIL. 200 years ago, this kind of thing went on all the time. That's why we loaded up the ships, sailed the seas, and set up shop here. Beware the false prophet. In the last century, he rode on horsedrawn wagon and he sold snake oil. And in the 70s, he carried a briefcase and a calculator and he sold real estate in Florida. But Mr. Hendricks, he doesn't sell snake oil or real estate. He sells death and he sells destruction. He doesn't call it that. He bottles it as the apocalypse and Wendy Burman bought it. The perfect victim for charlatan, a conman, a grifter. And it's interesting that he chose to camouflage his scam in religion. That's the genius of it. See, if you proclaim from the pulpit and quote from the good book, it is an almost inescapable trap for the innocent and the vulnerable. And Wendy Burman came to that with her need. Now, Mr. Hendricks gave her the hope, but the hope he gave her was a ruse to get her to do what he wanted her to, which was murder. But in the end, it was Wendy Burman that was killed. >> On the first count of the indictment, kidnapping in the first degree, how do you find? We find the defendant guilty. >> On the second count, murder in the second degree, how do you find guilty? >> Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do. Heat. Heat.
