Jonathan (John Lithgow), Perry&#8217;s mentor, to solve a perplexing case: the brutal kidnapping of one-year-old Charlie Dodson, whose parents Matthew (Nate Corddry) and Emily (Gayle Rankin) were targeted for a $100,000 ransom. After meeting with Herman Baggerly (Robert Patrick), a millionaire elder at the Dodsons&#8217; church, Perry, E.B., and E.B.&#8217;s legal secretary Della Street (Juliet Rylance) ponder why a family of unmistakably modest means would be extorted for such a steep price.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Rolin Jones &amp; Ron Fitzgerald; directed by Tim Van Patten.<\/p>\n<p>Episode 2: &#8220;Chapter Two&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Sunday, June 28 (9:00-10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Following one of her trademark barn-burning sermons, Evangelical preacher Sister Alice (Tatiana Maslany) offers the Dodsons the church&#8217;s full moral and financial support &#8211; much to her mother Birdy&#8217;s (Lili Taylor) dismay.

Later, Mason attempts to extract information from a withholding Drake (Chris Chalk), who&#8217;s weary of Holcomb (Eric Lange) and Ennis&#8217; (Andrew Howard) watchful eyes.
