Rudolph Varitek.

One of the most macabre cases
I've ever prosecuted.

Because he was holding
himself out as a medical doctor?

A doctor who'd perform
the kind of elective procedures

you can't get
at your corner urgent care.

You ever heard
of extreme body modification?

I'm vaguely familiar, yeah.

It's more than just stretched earlobes.

Eye tattoos, tunneled cheeks
subdermal implants:

Varitek did it all.

But if you wanna disfigure yourself,
isn't that legal?

He didn't stop at cosmetics.

Varitek sees himself
as an actual physician.

After he flunked out of medical school,

he took up do-it-yourself surgery

on his shingle on the dark web.

He must be resentful

the medical establishment
wouldn't have him.

Definitely.

He wasn't even on our radar

until he performed an amateur version

of gender reassignment surgery.

The victim ended up in the ER
and almost d*ed.

Varitek did six months
for practicing medicine

without a medical license

and moved out of New Hampshire.

How do we, as a community of believers,

make peace

with a senseless tragedy

like the brutal death

of this sweet, innocent child?

I, too, have recently lost a loved one

to sinister machinations.

Be assured, my good friends,
these are no random misfortunes,

for the Lamb would never allow

such heinous brutality
to befall the righteous,

like the family that sits here
in mourning today.

No, this can only be understood

as the demonic work of the Antichrist,

who took this poor soul

as a demonstration
of his dark, malevolent power!

God bless you.

Very moving eulogy, Pastor.

Thank you.

Have you also come
at the family's calling?

When I heard what happened, I...

thought I'd come and pay my respects.

Where do you minister?

My last posting was in Ohio, but...

things didn't go so well for me there.

How so?

I'd rather not talk about it,
if it's all the same to you.

I see.

These are trying times we live in,

when men of God are themselves
treated with suspicion.

God bless you for understanding.

Of course.

People can be so vindictive.

Your church in Dorchester...
I was hoping

there might be an opportunity
there for me.

Unfortunately, there's not.

We're a small and aging congregation.

As I'm sure you're aware,

our youth have drifted away
from the church.

Jesus said, "Suffer the little children,

and forbid them not to come unto me."

Easier said than done.

They worship technology now.

Very true.

How do we bring them back?

Show them that the work
of the devil is everywhere.

Satan's cleverest trick is to
convince us he doesn't exist.

We need to make evil tangible

to all the doubters among us,

simplify it in a way their
narrow minds can understand.

So true.

Evil is everywhere.

- Yes.

They've erected two crosses
in the back of the church.

Black ones.

Yeah, with nails at the ready.

- Pfft.
- So that was their plan:

to crucify the Antichrist they
conjured by mutilating those kids.

Hey, Georgie.

Who?

Yeah, send her up.

Agent Scott.

I'm Serena Wade.

I saw you at the Larry Davis hearing

- in Florida.
- I remember.

Are you his family?

No, I'm a documentary filmmaker.

I actually live here in New York.

Do you mind if we talk for a minute?

Won't take long.

I wanted to give you a heads-up.

Did you hear
about the rule . filing?

- The what?
- It's a motion

for post-conviction relief.

It was filed in Broward County yesterday

on Larry Davis' behalf.

They're asking for a new trial?

Yes.

Based on what?

Actual innocence.

He claimed the prosecutor
withheld exculpatory evidence

among other things.

Are his lawyers getting paid
by the word?

They're not getting paid at all.

They're from
the Florida Innocence Project.

Well, they're wasting their time.

The case against Davis was airtight.

You remember the state attorney

who prosecuted the case?

- Brody Birch?
- What about him?

I started looking into him after
several complaints were filed

to the state bar last year.

A white prosecutor who targeted

mostly African American defendants.

At first, I thought this was
a story about race,

but the deeper that I dug,

the more I realized
this is pure corruption.

Brady violations, witness tampering...

I mean, who knows
how many innocent people

this guy has put behind bars?

What does this have to do with me?

I wanna make Davis' appeal
the center of my film,

follow it from beginning to end,

and I'd like for you to get involved.

I need someone who can humanize
the victim

and speak on his behalf.

I don't give a damn about your film

or what you need.

Well, I'm not taking sides here.

I don't know how this is gonna end

or where this is gonna go.

I just think that this is
a compelling story.

How nice for you.

You said at the hearing,

"Let justice be served."

- What if he didn't do it?
- But he did do it.

And he's not getting out.

That's your story.

And you should leave.

I didn't mean to offend you.

I just...

- Good night.
- Well... [SIGHS]

- In case you change your mind...
- I won't.
