Block Party
I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Well, life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows God only knows what I'd be without you.
- Look at that! Look at that! - Look at that! You're walking for Daddy.
Who's that there? Who's that there? Is that Mommy? Ooh, bless you.
Bless you.
Margie, honey, can you take Nell? - I'm running late.
- Mommy's here! Hi! Oh! Oh, those are nice shoes.
They pinch.
And this dress is immodest.
You'll enjoy yourself more when you get to know the other employees.
Here the last thing you need are blisters.
Thanks.
Have a great day.
You too.
If Don calls, tell him I forgot Rotary breakfast.
- I'll be at the office by 10:00.
- Dinner's at 7:00! See you then! I'm proud of you.
I'm just a lowly temp at the County Services building.
Still, we all know it's not easy for you.
Well, I want to be responsible and pay off my debts.
It's the only way I'll learn.
Half day.
I'll be back for the boys at 2:00.
Go! Don't be late.
Is everything okay? Oh, yeah, just errands.
Breathe deep.
Now hold your breath.
I see money as a useful tool.
I see money as a useful tool.
The more money I have, the more I can help myself and others.
The more money I have, the more I can help myself and others.
I am like a magnet to money.
I am like a magnet to money.
Yeah, Don? I think we have to write off all the Redstone receivables, - like it or not.
- Well, I'm not surprised.
Lowering our credit requirements for jokers just so we can compete with Lowe's.
No, everyone's stretched, even Lowe's.
- It's a nationwide slowdown.
- I guess.
It's just we never had a quarter in the red before.
How far away? Jerry Flute's here.
What? Well, he's early.
Five minutes.
Just keep him busy.
We're pretty far down the road in our discussions with some Vegas companies.
They obviously bring a lot more experience to the table.
Why would we want to partner with you instead? You go into business with Vegas, you're going to have a lot more government scrutiny into your tribal affairs just because they're Vegas.
Plus there's the seedy element that comes with all that hookers, showgirls, meth labs.
Of course we're concerned about that.
But our main focus has to be who can best assist us in our economic development; who can make us the most money.
Which is exactly why our idea is better.
Not just good better.
A Mormon-friendly casino an hour and a half out of Salt Lake City on your tribal land, just over the state line to Idaho? Clean, kid-friendly, no smoking, no drinking.
You're not just another Indian casino; you have a monopoly a monopoly on a huge captive population that no one else is serving.
But you've never run a casino or anything like it.
Why would I want to be your training wheels? We'd contract a management company to run the operations.
That's easy; that's what the Cowlitz do.
What we're offering, Jerry, is an idea that's a gold mine.
I gotta get back to the conference.
I'll think about it.
Jerry, you got to let us finish this.
Let's do dinner before you leave town.
- My dinners are taken.
- Fine.
Lunch? Breakfast? My attorney's office is right around the corner from your hotel.
I'll bring Margie.
I'm not going to cop a plea! These charges are false.
They've got four counts against you with four compelling Jane Does.
Jane Doe what are they, sisters? Their identities are protected.
- That's unconstitutional.
- We agree.
And we expect the Third Circuit to overturn the order of protection.
The prosecutor is willing to offer a plea for something short of rape.
Don't ever use that vile word in my presence.
Fine, but that's the word that you are up against.
It's what the newspapers are using; it's what the state is pursuing.
We have to build a defense against it.
I don't want to talk to them anymore.
I'm a holy man.
These men are good lawyers, honey.
These men worked for Ronald Reagan.
Why has everyone forsaken me? No one's forsaken you.
- Well - What? Albert's moved into the big house and made a clean sweep of our office.
Heavenly Father will crush that bastard usurper of a son.
Amen.
- Try it now.
- Okay.
Fixed.
- No leaks.
- Thank you.
I need to get back to work.
Ooh.
I hate it when you leave.
Let's make love, Bill.
Ana, you know I need you to marry me first.
Then why don't we just have sex? I need a ring on your finger first.
I'm gonna get you.
You go get your children under control.
They're upsetting Father.
L I can't carry boxes and see to the children at the same time.
You can.
Yes, you can.
Do you hear how she disrespects me? She's sassy, Father.
Tell her how sassy she is.
Glory, do what Lura asks if you wish to be in harmony with me.
What should we do with your father's hats? Put them in storage.
Pray for his swift return.
Throw this in the trash heap? No, hang it back up.
I'm feeling a great potency in this room.
We're not going to go to DEFCON 1 over this until we have more information, okay? Yes, more information.
Call Katie and she'll set everything up.
We'll have to take out a few nodes so we can get a better look, but we're not going to worry.
No, Dr.
Horth, we won't worry.
How long has it been since the hysterectomy? Seven years.
Right.
And you've been feeling well? No other pain or symptoms? Weakness or dizziness, anything like that? Barb, listen, this is why we have checkups, okay? We have to take it one step at a time.
Don't worry about this.
Hello, neighbor! How are you? Never better.
Would you like to come in? Oh.
Carl! Would you like to come in too? Achoo! Achoo! going to turn into a pig, my dear, I'll have nothing more to do with you.
Oh, yeah, who's gonna give us another piggy? Are you gonna give us another piggy? Honey, take Nell.
Hi, all.
What's up? Carl and Pam were just wondering if we were coming to the block party.
- Well, sure, why not? - I don't know.
It's odd.
Everyone's been asking me.
Why? Why wouldn't we come? Don't look at me like that.
I haven't told a soul about you.
The new neighborhood map is out.
What map? The ward issued our new map, and Nicki's grayed out.
They don't miss a trick, do they? All church members on the street got a copy Roberts: Active; Martins: Active; Henricksons: Inactive; Grants: Grayed out.
People are aware she shares a name with Roman Grant.
Jonah Allard volunteered to do the hot-dog cart instead of you.
But Bill's the hot-dog man.
Pam, you didn't tell? No, I did not! It's No one thinks I have a brain in my head.
I honored your request not to.
I thought about your children.
We're just naturally afraid that if too many people know about us on the block, especially with all this notoriety and the recent attention We understand.
It's a real zoo with all that trial stuff going on downtown.
Gray? What is that supposed to mean? It means everyone knows who you are.
Please stop that.
- Margie - I'm just being supportive.
What? If you hadn't marched over there and exposed us all to that bubble-headed woman But you were all for it.
Yes, well, that was before my father was arrested and the government decided it was time to wipe us off the map.
And how was I supposed to anticipate that? It was reckless and selfish.
Selfish? I am doing my best to grow into this to feel my way along.
And I don't think she told anybody anyway.
Hey hey, we're not going to turn on each other.
Fine.
Blame me.
But you do draw attention to yourself how you dress and comport.
No no no, I wear the trash that I have to wear for work, against my beliefs.
I dress virtuously.
What do you want me to dress like, Margie? - Excuse me? - That's enough.
We're not fighting about this.
We've all become too casual, in conversation, in coming and going from the houses, borrowing cars; it's a wake-up call to become more vigilant.
We'll just sit out this block party - and be done with it.
- But I want to go.
We can't just become prisoners because of this.
- Honey, this is just a tough time.
- What about the children? You want them to be stared at like freaks who'd be better off if they were placed in foster homes? I mean, our way of life is under attack! Don't you watch the news? But that's got nothing to do with us, and as soon as they get to know us, they'll know that's not us, and we had such a good time last year.
Margie, last year's not this year.
Well, I don't care if they think that Nicki's a polygamist or we're all polygamists.
The kids have been looking forward to it.
Honey, just drop it, okay? Come on, let's eat! I beat you seven years ago.
I refuse to let you win.
Do you hear me? I give you no sanctuary.
I give you no permission, you son of a State and federal agencies including the A.
T.
F.
And F.
B.
I.
Have recently begun an unprecedented crackdown on polygamy in Kansas, in Canada, in Utah and Arizona.
That's right.
Lately, John, it's been all polygamy all the time.
Last months raids on the splinter compounds in Kansas This week, we had Orlean Abbott's hearing which resulted in a life sentence for the polygamist on the same charges Juniper Creek's self-proclaimed prophet Roman Grant is now facing.
Though every case is different, - legal - Leave it.
I know how tough this is on you.
Have you spoken to my father? Honey, no.
And I told you, I'm not going to.
We can't be a part of this trial in any way.
Promise me you'll stay out of it.
Promise.
I promise.
I'm sorry I'm such a problem on the street.
There's no reason everyone should have to give up the block party.
I just I don't have to go.
- I'll stay home.
- That's not how we do things.
We stick together.
I see the writing on the wall.
I don't want to drag the whole family down.
I understand you might have to send me away.
Nicki, honey, would you stop? That's a last-case scenario and we're not anywhere near there yet.
These are Mormon L.
D.
S.
Ers.
They'll be onto something else in a week.
The original Mann Act allegations he faced collapsed when it was discovered his habit of transporting his charges was to stop at state lines, have the women and underage girls get out, walk themselves across, then pick them up on the other side.
L I know you've been seeing him.
I haven't slept with your husband, if that's what you came here to talk about.
Oh, of course you haven't.
I know my husband.
Exactly how much has Bill told you about our religion? Not much.
We believe this life is but a speck of time compared to the afterlife.
It's eternity that's important to us.
And we believe the larger our family is in eternity, the better we serve our God.
Why did you come to tell me this? We want to formally date you as our potential fourth wife Nicki, Margie, Bill and me.
I think you have the wrong idea.
I don't want to marry everyone, or anyone.
And Bill is very well aware of that; he's known that for a while.
Hello? Just what are you doing, Bill? What are you talking about? - Ana.
- Ana? - What about her? - I just went to see her.
What? You had no right to do that.
I went to see her and just get it out in the open and tell her that if you are dating her, we are all dating her.
Barb, I'm not dating.
I'm just trying to figure out if she's receptive to our beliefs, you know? Part of our journey.
- Whatever.
- No, not whatever.
I need to see if there's anything there before involving my wives in the complications that a potential new wife brings.
Well and good.
However, she tells me that she's not interested in marriage - and that you know it.
- She'll come around.
And when did you sign off on a fourth? Bill, the first time it snuck up on me on my deathbed.
The second time, the babysitter bit me.
Now this time, I want a say.
And if it's going to happen, it is going to happen on my watch.
What on earth is going on? Have you been fighting with Nicki or Margie? Things aren't just going to happen to me without my having a say in it.
You've always had a say, but this has got to happen at my pace.
Fine.
Fine.
We'll do it at your pace.
You've got three days to figure it out.
Either this is holy and we're all dating her, or it's illicit and you're going to dump her.
Don't look at me.
Are you Mary? Yeah.
How's it going so far? Today's my last day.
I thought I was going back to the judge's chambers, but Adaleen wants me over at the State Tax Audit Department.
Where are the keys for the file-room cabinets? Top drawer of the office manager's desk.
These people aren't so bad for heathens.
Just wanted to say bye.
Friday's cake day.
There must be some confusion.
You must be thinking of a different Barb.
No, she stayed for five minutes, she lectured me on dating a married man she was very forward and she said if I wasn't serious then I'm selfish.
That would be Barb.
But this is wonderful.
Now we can be open about it all.
We, me and you, or we, me and Bill? All of us! Everyone can know I know you're seeing him and everyone can know you and I still see each other and talk about him.
Or no no.
- Maybe not that last part.
- But now the wife of the man I'm seeing telling me I have date her too? Don't let Barb gum up the works.
For now, just continue on as is and only tell her what she needs to hear.
- Good night.
- Sir.
You don't know who I am, do you? I know who you are.
Franky.
What are you doing here? Our dad drove me to the city and had me get out.
When? Three weeks ago.
Would you talk to him for me and ask him to take me back? My mom needs me.
What happened? Nothing.
Well, you gotta tell me if I'm gonna be able to help you.
Nothing happened.
I just talked to a girl.
Would you talk to my dad and ask him to take me back? I want to go home.
I miss my mom and my brothers and sisters.
Come on, boys.
Settle down.
What are you doing here? Why did you change? I gotta go out to Juniper Creek.
Dad threw one of his boys off the compound.
I'm gonna pick him up and give him a ride back.
Sorry I'm late.
Is Margie ready? Uh, in a couple of minutes.
- Tell Mom, Dad and Nicki.
- What is it? Tell them.
Teenie, honey.
It's okay.
They won't let me go over there anymore.
Who won't? Chris and Tony's mother and father.
The O'Hares.
They told me I can't play there.
Sweetheart, what did they say? They said I was a bad influence.
What's that supposed to mean? I didn't do a thing nothing.
Mr.
And Mrs.
O'Hare were whispering - and then they just sent me home.
- What's going on? The neighbors accused Teenie of being a bad influence.
Are you sure Mr.
And Mrs.
Martin didn't tell? Ben, we'll handle it.
Maybe they're not home.
Maybe.
So what happened? Uh, nothing.
They weren't home.
We don't know what's going on.
All right, Nicki, I've had to cancel the roofers.
But they've already begun on my house.
We'll pick up the project again when we're on firmer ground.
I'll do it myself.
Why not? I've become the weak link bringing ruin unto the family.
While you're at the block party, I'll stay home and roof instead.
Your Mama Nicki's making a joke.
What? Whatever's happening involves all of us now, not just you.
I have a new item to discuss: I want to prepare us for the likelihood that we'll be putting date nights on the schedule.
I propose we pick Monday and Thursday nights.
- Who are we dating? - Ana.
Bill gave her the heave-ho weeks ago.
What? Hey, can I take the car for a half hour? Yes, the keys are on the counter.
She's back in the hunt? And you're for it? I mean, you just said things were tight.
You canceled my roofers.
We can't afford her.
Things are tight, Nicki, but we have to keep our family growing.
We have to think of the needs of our family as a whole and that doesn't always mean you get to choose the time.
Well, where's she gonna live? Not with me.
We're not there yet and we'd work it out.
Bill has three days to make it happen and then we're moving on.
What if she needs more than three days, though, to decide to date us? What if she's going away or something? Maybe there's a better way to handle it, Barb.
What are you suggesting? Just a little more time.
I know when I was dating Bill, the idea at first of dating you all was daunting.
How much more time? Seven weeks? No.
Absolutely not.
- Six? - You were dead set against the waitress.
- What changed? - If she's going to be with us in the afterlife, then I'd like to make that decision now.
I'm not just gonna have something sprung on me at the last minute.
- What does that mean? - It means what it means.
You're talking about me, aren't you? No, I am not talking about you.
That's the way you feel about me and my entry into the family.
Hector, protector! Nicki, just stop.
You are not turning this into something about you when it is about me.
I am in control of my life and I will have a say in the architecture of our family in the hereafter.
Fine then.
We could use a new wife anyway.
That's just your Mama Nicki trying to get in a dig at me.
Margie, please stop trying to turn that infant against me.
What what are you thinking? - Sarah.
- A fourth wife? L I don't want you to do it.
- Sweetie - No, you do not want to do this.
Yes, I do.
Great.
Why not five or six or seven? I said shut up.
Hello.
You have to take this lousy bird back or I will wring its neck.
Oh, Scruffy! What's the what's the matter with it? It's a horrible animal, Wanda.
Horrible.
Yeah, open its cage door and let it fly away.
No.
Something could get him and eat him and he's worth a lot of money.
Yes, sir $1,800.
That bird is not worth $1,800.
Nobody in their right mind would pay that much for a bird.
Yes, they would.
In some places he is worth $2,000.
Oh, my little mongoose.
My little mongoose.
Ricky-Tikki-Tavi! Ricky-Tikki-Tavi! - Dollars? - Mm-hmm.
Wanna kill a snake? Wanna kill a snake? Ssss! Huh? - Kill a snake? - What's he doing here? They're doing the same thing to this boy that they did to us.
I don't know if it was Alby or Dad.
It was Dad.
He just took a new wife.
My sister.
We were both sealed to Ron.
Your father claimed Jodean when Ron died.
I thought he was picking Kathy.
But don't mention it in front of Mom though it's a sore spot.
Dad goads her, says she's all used up and made him have to get a fresh one.
He's just using Jodean as a pretext to get rid of Franky.
Well, look who deigns to come back.
- Ignore her.
- Don't worry.
Who sealed 'em? I mean, with Roman in jail, who else has the authority? - Ignoring me? - Alby.
- Alby? - Ignoring me for months! Says Roman gave him the authority, - but no one knows - Won't come and won't come! Then comes and won't see me.
I don't care! How can you live within 100 miles of that woman? - Couldn't care less.
- Do you know where Dad is? Yeah! He's in a rat-hole 'cause that's where the rats live: With all the other rats.
I didn't think you were speaking to me.
He had a chance to run the U.
E.
B.
, to get rid of the Grants once and for all, and he abandoned us.
Says he's neutral! Neutral is for sissies.
Not these days, Ma.
Anyone who takes a powder and refuses to grab this opportunity to get rid of all Grants is no son of mine.
And I'm not saying one thing everyone's not thinking already.
Mom, Dad threw Franky off the compound.
Why do you have to involve yourself in other people's affairs? I don't know, Mother.
Maybe it's because I feel a kinship to boys thrown out of this place and made to live out on the streets.
Do you know how hard that is on the mother? Yeah, it's kind of hard on the boys too.
It's hardest on the mother.
Always hardest on the mother.
You you can't be here.
You can't.
- I missed you so much.
- I know.
What do you think of my new honey? - She something, huh? - Nice to see you, Bill.
Jodean.
She sits and fetches and rolls over.
Why don't you go around back there and help the girls dig out that new sewer line? I'm not taking him back.
He was kissing a girl that was earmarked for a very well-respected bishop in the community.
Dad, I'm sorry.
He's your son.
He just wants to come home.
I didn't like the way he was hanging around Jodean either.
It had all the signs of potential marital discord.
Well, if you don't take him back, I'll make sure you pay child support for - No, don't do that - It's not gonna happen! He's oversexed.
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Oh, well, then take him with you.
- No, I don't want to go - Birds of a feather! Maybe you'll both like living up there in Sin City.
- You're subhuman.
- Stop, please.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
I know how this works dried up old man takes a young wife, feels threatened.
Come on! You come up here and judge how I practice the Principle, you and your fancy wives? You're not modern, you're just broken.
You're like watching a three-legged dog trying to hop it's got the instinct all right, it just doesn't know how to do it.
It's gonna be okay.
I know how you feel.
I've been through it.
I'll help you through it too.
Franky! Honey, are you okay? Stop! Don't! Not now.
Everybody's watching us.
I can feel it.
It's gonna be okay.
I'm history.
I'm a risk to the family.
I'm gonna have to go away.
No.
I want to get to know you I want to show you The peaceful feeling of my home Summer thunder on moon bright days Northern lights and skies ablaze And I'll bring to you Love when I sing You're hot Alby.
Come on! - Come on.
- Seriously, man.
So Barb tells Peg you're pursuing Ana together as a family.
Well, that's what Barb says, but she's given her blessing.
Wow.
She's really come a long way, thanks to you.
We have to keep moving forward with our testimonies, especially in these difficult times.
I'm not sure how fast I want to move on this one, Don.
I'm not sure if Ana has the right temperament.
- Feisty? - Well she has the potential to undermine all the progress I've made with Barb and Marge helping them in their struggles for salvation.
You know, it's been a long haul to get Barb onboard.
And Marge, well, she's still a little poco a poco.
God bless Nicki, at least in this regard.
Yeah, no one gets it: Being a good priesthood holder is knowing what others are capable of, knowing what's best for them to know and what might be too much for them to handle.
Well, she's extremely opinionated, very aggressive.
You can break this filly I know you can.
- You think so? - You bet I do.
She doesn't know what she wants.
Just go over there and show her.
Thanks, pal.
Thanks for your support.
It's tough.
No wonder when we find a wife that works, sometimes it's just easier to marry her sister next.
Mmm.
Why aren't you in your uniform? Let's skip work.
Let's go to the mall.
Why? I got my letter.
Oh my God, tell me you got in too.
I got in.
Yay! Oh, I could scream.
That is so great.
I told my parents I wanted to go to the U instead of the Y and they freaked out, but I talked them through it.
I'm so happy.
Now we can be together.
Yes! Let's go to the mall and celebrate.
Yay! How come you're not saying "yay"? Heather, I don't think I can go.
What do you mean you can't go? We made plans.
I don't want to stay in Utah.
I can't.
Is this about Scott? Are you, like, running off with him or something? No, just keep him completely out of this.
Well, what are you gonna do? I applied to other schools out-of-state schools.
Sarah Heather, I'm sorry, but I'll die if I stay here.
You know, I'm just real curious, you know? How does this whole thing work? You know, the polygamy thing.
When Jerry told me, I was like, "Whoa!" 'Cause I know a little bit of polygamy from Middle East.
You know, I lived on a kibbutz for a little while and I know Egyptians, they take multiple wives.
So - Well, I - We're just a big family, is all.
And we wives rotate and take turns.
But you belong to a cult? I mean, do you believe in some sort of a supreme prophet, something like that? Like that the mashugana guy on trial.
What's his name the pervert? Gosh, you know, we just live kinda normal.
We're really pretty boring lot of casseroles, take out the trash on Tuesdays say, that is a lovely bracelet.
Oh, this? Thank you.
It's a copy of a bracelet that Jerry got me in Vail.
We opened up a little jewelry workshop on the reservation now.
We make everything there except except turquoise.
So what do you think, LaDonna? Has Jerry told you about our business plan for the casino? Yeah.
But can I just say one thing? You Mormons you have pretty odd views on Indians, that they're dark-skinned and cursed, so why you want to be in business with us, huh? We're not really Mormon Mormons.
And I'm not sure that's really part of the deal anymore.
That's right, Margie.
It's not.
Yeah, but you believe in "Book of Mormon"? Yes? Yes.
And in "Book of Mormon," it says very specifically that Indians are loathsome dark-skinned Lamanites.
And just in case you didn't notice, Jerry is Indian.
So is he going to have to be turned "white and delightsome"? Well, I don't know about that.
"Nu-ma jundee nu-mane.
" That's very sweet of you.
And it's true.
We are peaceful people.
I like you, Margie.
I liked you from the start.
All right, Bill, let's hear the rest of your proposal.
Gladly.
Because I, for one, would be honored to be in business with you.
What do you want? Are you working for our father? No.
- Is Bill? - No! Yes, you are.
I happen to know for a fact Bill snuck on the compound yesterday, all afternoon, setting things up.
- Setting what up? - Don't play dumb with me.
He tried to have me killed.
L I barely escaped.
What are you talking about? You told Bill lies about me, about rumors that about behavior proclivities.
He tried to use it to kill me.
When? You know.
If someone tried to kill you, it wasn't us.
Then who was it? You see, we believe that in the afterlife, we go on as a family, sealed to one another forever, for all eternity.
Ana, I want you to be part of this plan, but we have to it has to be done in a certain way, on my terms.
We have to follow the path set forth for us by our Heavenly Father.
I don't think I can do it, Bill.
I'm sorry.
I care for you so much, but I think we should stop seeing each other.
No, please, don't.
I can't end it this way.
I'm so in love with you.
Darn it, Ana, why are you being like this? This is Dr.
Horth.
I was able to schedule your biopsy at the University Hospital next Tuesday at 11:00.

Hi, Barb, this is Dr.
Horth.
I was able to schedule your biopsy Bill.
Shh.
Shh.
Yes, Nell.
Yes.
She's so beautiful.
Yes.
We know where you were.
It's over.
I'm not going to see her again.
Ever.
Chapter 10: "The Prophet Picks Me.
" It was a bright summer day and I was just 16.
The berries hung heavy on the bushes and I was full of girlish excitement.
Oh.
Come in.
I was working on my book.
It may be my only ace in the hole if things go poorly for your father at trial.
Thanks for making up the driver's license.
Let me know if you need a passport.
I almost got caught.
I had to hide in the copy room for 45 minutes.
I could wind up in jail.
You have no idea how dangerous this job is.
Be strong, honey.
You have to have a stomach for the fight.
It's a huge thing you're doing.
It may be the one thing Heavenly Father has called you here to do, it's that huge.
Just the two? You're not listening to a word I've said.
No, I'm worried that Alby's trying to come after Bill.
He thinks Bill tried to kill him.
Bill? Good.
Who knew Bill had it in him? He doesn't.
He didn't.
Well, it was Alby's own fault.
I heard it was in a public bathroom.
Mama.
It's disgusting a public john.
And I know you know what I'm talking about tap tap tap.
Well, it's who he chooses to be.
How can you help someone if they won't fix themselves? What are you saying? What am I saying? I don't know.
Rob? I stopped by your house a couple days ago.
Hello, Bill.
Must have been working.
You know how that goes.
Getting ready for the block party.
Everyone from your tribe coming? I don't know.
Maybe.
I might have to work.
Listen, I've got to ask you something: Do you have some problem with my daughter? With my family? Oh.
No, not really.
Nothing that's It's really none of my business.
Then what is it? You know, I couldn't help but noticing on the new ward map that you and Barb are inactive.
And I was awful sorry to see that.
I guess I've always felt a man's belief and faith are personal.
He doesn't need to justify it or defend himself to anyone.
Why are you allowing Roman Grant's daughter to rent one of your houses? They know.
They know we're one big family.
Are you positive? This thing with Teenie? And Rob O'Hare just now What are we gonna do? I didn't think this ridiculous block party mattered, but it's come to matter a great deal.
- We're all going.
We have to.
- Why? We're not going to give these people the power to define who we are.
And we're sure as heck not going to let them shame us.
Uh, Sarah? - Honey? - We have to push back, especially now.
That's easy for you to say.
It's different for me.
Your last name isn't Grant.
Honey, please, we are all in this together.
Your children won't be the objects of scorn and ridicule.
They are all our children, Nicki I won't have them see us bowing and scraping and apologizing - while we're being judged.
- This is the world we live in.
We don't live on a compound.
No.
It's too high a price for me; I won't go.
I can't.
Dad? Franky? What happened to you? What is it? You'll see.
"The Book of Mormon.
" They gave it to me when I joined the family.
I think it's what we do, so I'm giving it to you.
Thank you.
That's very thoughtful.
- It's too late, Margie.
- No.
I can't accept that.
I won't.
Do you know how much you mean to him? He's been fasting and praying all day.
I don't think I'm the right one for you.
But you've got so much to give and no one to give it to.
We all want you so much.
I'm just a waitress in a coffee shop.
No! Don't sell yourself short.
I know you want love.
Everyone does.
I'm the other woman.
That's how I feel comfortable.
Maybe that's all I was ever meant to be.
Ana.
What if you'd never taken a chance before in your life? If you don't open yourself up to the possibility of something better, you'll never have it.
You are meant to be in this family.
Don't throw it all away.
Oh.
Excuse me, miss? Excuse me, miss? Um, this is Paul Nelson's.
He's right across from me.
I'm Ray Henry.
Boss.
Oh! I'm sorry.
I'm new here.
It's okay.
Glad to have you aboard.
- Thanks.
- Um, Miss Heffman.
Margene Heffman.
Welcome.
Ray, we just lost two Jane Does.
All right.
I'm losing all my witnesses, all right? We have two left! Roman Grant is getting to them all.
Ray, look.
We can still have Everybody all set? - All right.
- Okay.
I'm afraid.
I don't want to go.
Don't be, sweetie.
We're proud of who we are.
You just get out there and you show 'em your real personality, okay? - All right.
- Let's go.
All right.
All right, stay with your brother.
Come on! Get in there! Oh! Why don't you guys take Teenie and go get some dessert? You're right.
Okay.
Right here.
Hey.
Uh, I hear you had a run-in with the O'Hares the other day.
Just Rob.
Look, I don't know what he's been saying, but apparently he's been talking to everybody in the neighborhood.
Your daughters couldn't be more different.
Uh, how do you mean? I don't know, they're just different.
Teenie is sure growing up quickly.
- Hmm.
- I notice that too.
Hey, hurry, do it.
Let's take it.
Hey, you, I see you! I see you, stop it! - Stop it! - Don't listen to her.
See you later, plyg.
So where do you want to go on your mission, Ben? Actually, I'm thinking about joining the air force first.
You can always join the military.
You know, mission is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
It shouldn't be postponed.
You know, if it's financial, we could talk about your savings plan.
Bill.
Teenie? Honey! Teenie.
Barb? Patty, just what do you think you're doing? We caught your daughter with Tony and Chris again and we told her she wasn't allowed.
Patty, if you have something to say about my family, - you go ahead and say it.
- It's not your family.
It's just Tancy.
She says she has a club and she shows the boys dirty magazines and charges them Here.
That's it? You're out of line, O'Hare.
Why don't you look to your own family, not mine? - You're overreacting.
- I think you need to mind your own business.
I can advise my son about his future without Bill? Your son's got a yearning for spirituality.
I think I know what's best for my son and my family.
- Bill.
- Don't let your choices put your son in jeopardy.
Mr.
O'Hare, there's nothing wrong with my father's choices.
- Bill.
- You want to get this? Let's go.
- Let's just get it out in the open! - Wait! You were right.
You were all right.
I am the daughter of Roman Grant.
I know you hate him.
I know you want to judge me.
But you don't know me.
All I've ever wanted was to be off the compound, to live a normal life.
And when the Henricksons and Margie, they reached out to me and tried to help me break away and become truly free, it was the first kindness I'd ever truly known.
I never thought I'd bring anything bad on them.
I would I would never do anything to hurt them.
I would move off this street before I would do that.
They took my ladder.
I was really touched by that.
Is that true? Bravo, Nicki.
- Out of the park, kiddo.
- Wow.
Thank goodness this horrible day is over.
Okay, everyone.
I'm here on your terms.
Stand In the end, you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand All things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand Stand Stand - # Come on, yeah yeah yeah # - # Stand # Stand Ooh ooh, stand
- Look at that! Look at that! - Look at that! You're walking for Daddy.
Who's that there? Who's that there? Is that Mommy? Ooh, bless you.
Bless you.
Margie, honey, can you take Nell? - I'm running late.
- Mommy's here! Hi! Oh! Oh, those are nice shoes.
They pinch.
And this dress is immodest.
You'll enjoy yourself more when you get to know the other employees.
Here the last thing you need are blisters.
Thanks.
Have a great day.
You too.
If Don calls, tell him I forgot Rotary breakfast.
- I'll be at the office by 10:00.
- Dinner's at 7:00! See you then! I'm proud of you.
I'm just a lowly temp at the County Services building.
Still, we all know it's not easy for you.
Well, I want to be responsible and pay off my debts.
It's the only way I'll learn.
Half day.
I'll be back for the boys at 2:00.
Go! Don't be late.
Is everything okay? Oh, yeah, just errands.
Breathe deep.
Now hold your breath.
I see money as a useful tool.
I see money as a useful tool.
The more money I have, the more I can help myself and others.
The more money I have, the more I can help myself and others.
I am like a magnet to money.
I am like a magnet to money.
Yeah, Don? I think we have to write off all the Redstone receivables, - like it or not.
- Well, I'm not surprised.
Lowering our credit requirements for jokers just so we can compete with Lowe's.
No, everyone's stretched, even Lowe's.
- It's a nationwide slowdown.
- I guess.
It's just we never had a quarter in the red before.
How far away? Jerry Flute's here.
What? Well, he's early.
Five minutes.
Just keep him busy.
We're pretty far down the road in our discussions with some Vegas companies.
They obviously bring a lot more experience to the table.
Why would we want to partner with you instead? You go into business with Vegas, you're going to have a lot more government scrutiny into your tribal affairs just because they're Vegas.
Plus there's the seedy element that comes with all that hookers, showgirls, meth labs.
Of course we're concerned about that.
But our main focus has to be who can best assist us in our economic development; who can make us the most money.
Which is exactly why our idea is better.
Not just good better.
A Mormon-friendly casino an hour and a half out of Salt Lake City on your tribal land, just over the state line to Idaho? Clean, kid-friendly, no smoking, no drinking.
You're not just another Indian casino; you have a monopoly a monopoly on a huge captive population that no one else is serving.
But you've never run a casino or anything like it.
Why would I want to be your training wheels? We'd contract a management company to run the operations.
That's easy; that's what the Cowlitz do.
What we're offering, Jerry, is an idea that's a gold mine.
I gotta get back to the conference.
I'll think about it.
Jerry, you got to let us finish this.
Let's do dinner before you leave town.
- My dinners are taken.
- Fine.
Lunch? Breakfast? My attorney's office is right around the corner from your hotel.
I'll bring Margie.
I'm not going to cop a plea! These charges are false.
They've got four counts against you with four compelling Jane Does.
Jane Doe what are they, sisters? Their identities are protected.
- That's unconstitutional.
- We agree.
And we expect the Third Circuit to overturn the order of protection.
The prosecutor is willing to offer a plea for something short of rape.
Don't ever use that vile word in my presence.
Fine, but that's the word that you are up against.
It's what the newspapers are using; it's what the state is pursuing.
We have to build a defense against it.
I don't want to talk to them anymore.
I'm a holy man.
These men are good lawyers, honey.
These men worked for Ronald Reagan.
Why has everyone forsaken me? No one's forsaken you.
- Well - What? Albert's moved into the big house and made a clean sweep of our office.
Heavenly Father will crush that bastard usurper of a son.
Amen.
- Try it now.
- Okay.
Fixed.
- No leaks.
- Thank you.
I need to get back to work.
Ooh.
I hate it when you leave.
Let's make love, Bill.
Ana, you know I need you to marry me first.
Then why don't we just have sex? I need a ring on your finger first.
I'm gonna get you.
You go get your children under control.
They're upsetting Father.
L I can't carry boxes and see to the children at the same time.
You can.
Yes, you can.
Do you hear how she disrespects me? She's sassy, Father.
Tell her how sassy she is.
Glory, do what Lura asks if you wish to be in harmony with me.
What should we do with your father's hats? Put them in storage.
Pray for his swift return.
Throw this in the trash heap? No, hang it back up.
I'm feeling a great potency in this room.
We're not going to go to DEFCON 1 over this until we have more information, okay? Yes, more information.
Call Katie and she'll set everything up.
We'll have to take out a few nodes so we can get a better look, but we're not going to worry.
No, Dr.
Horth, we won't worry.
How long has it been since the hysterectomy? Seven years.
Right.
And you've been feeling well? No other pain or symptoms? Weakness or dizziness, anything like that? Barb, listen, this is why we have checkups, okay? We have to take it one step at a time.
Don't worry about this.
Hello, neighbor! How are you? Never better.
Would you like to come in? Oh.
Carl! Would you like to come in too? Achoo! Achoo! going to turn into a pig, my dear, I'll have nothing more to do with you.
Oh, yeah, who's gonna give us another piggy? Are you gonna give us another piggy? Honey, take Nell.
Hi, all.
What's up? Carl and Pam were just wondering if we were coming to the block party.
- Well, sure, why not? - I don't know.
It's odd.
Everyone's been asking me.
Why? Why wouldn't we come? Don't look at me like that.
I haven't told a soul about you.
The new neighborhood map is out.
What map? The ward issued our new map, and Nicki's grayed out.
They don't miss a trick, do they? All church members on the street got a copy Roberts: Active; Martins: Active; Henricksons: Inactive; Grants: Grayed out.
People are aware she shares a name with Roman Grant.
Jonah Allard volunteered to do the hot-dog cart instead of you.
But Bill's the hot-dog man.
Pam, you didn't tell? No, I did not! It's No one thinks I have a brain in my head.
I honored your request not to.
I thought about your children.
We're just naturally afraid that if too many people know about us on the block, especially with all this notoriety and the recent attention We understand.
It's a real zoo with all that trial stuff going on downtown.
Gray? What is that supposed to mean? It means everyone knows who you are.
Please stop that.
- Margie - I'm just being supportive.
What? If you hadn't marched over there and exposed us all to that bubble-headed woman But you were all for it.
Yes, well, that was before my father was arrested and the government decided it was time to wipe us off the map.
And how was I supposed to anticipate that? It was reckless and selfish.
Selfish? I am doing my best to grow into this to feel my way along.
And I don't think she told anybody anyway.
Hey hey, we're not going to turn on each other.
Fine.
Blame me.
But you do draw attention to yourself how you dress and comport.
No no no, I wear the trash that I have to wear for work, against my beliefs.
I dress virtuously.
What do you want me to dress like, Margie? - Excuse me? - That's enough.
We're not fighting about this.
We've all become too casual, in conversation, in coming and going from the houses, borrowing cars; it's a wake-up call to become more vigilant.
We'll just sit out this block party - and be done with it.
- But I want to go.
We can't just become prisoners because of this.
- Honey, this is just a tough time.
- What about the children? You want them to be stared at like freaks who'd be better off if they were placed in foster homes? I mean, our way of life is under attack! Don't you watch the news? But that's got nothing to do with us, and as soon as they get to know us, they'll know that's not us, and we had such a good time last year.
Margie, last year's not this year.
Well, I don't care if they think that Nicki's a polygamist or we're all polygamists.
The kids have been looking forward to it.
Honey, just drop it, okay? Come on, let's eat! I beat you seven years ago.
I refuse to let you win.
Do you hear me? I give you no sanctuary.
I give you no permission, you son of a State and federal agencies including the A.
T.
F.
And F.
B.
I.
Have recently begun an unprecedented crackdown on polygamy in Kansas, in Canada, in Utah and Arizona.
That's right.
Lately, John, it's been all polygamy all the time.
Last months raids on the splinter compounds in Kansas This week, we had Orlean Abbott's hearing which resulted in a life sentence for the polygamist on the same charges Juniper Creek's self-proclaimed prophet Roman Grant is now facing.
Though every case is different, - legal - Leave it.
I know how tough this is on you.
Have you spoken to my father? Honey, no.
And I told you, I'm not going to.
We can't be a part of this trial in any way.
Promise me you'll stay out of it.
Promise.
I promise.
I'm sorry I'm such a problem on the street.
There's no reason everyone should have to give up the block party.
I just I don't have to go.
- I'll stay home.
- That's not how we do things.
We stick together.
I see the writing on the wall.
I don't want to drag the whole family down.
I understand you might have to send me away.
Nicki, honey, would you stop? That's a last-case scenario and we're not anywhere near there yet.
These are Mormon L.
D.
S.
Ers.
They'll be onto something else in a week.
The original Mann Act allegations he faced collapsed when it was discovered his habit of transporting his charges was to stop at state lines, have the women and underage girls get out, walk themselves across, then pick them up on the other side.
L I know you've been seeing him.
I haven't slept with your husband, if that's what you came here to talk about.
Oh, of course you haven't.
I know my husband.
Exactly how much has Bill told you about our religion? Not much.
We believe this life is but a speck of time compared to the afterlife.
It's eternity that's important to us.
And we believe the larger our family is in eternity, the better we serve our God.
Why did you come to tell me this? We want to formally date you as our potential fourth wife Nicki, Margie, Bill and me.
I think you have the wrong idea.
I don't want to marry everyone, or anyone.
And Bill is very well aware of that; he's known that for a while.
Hello? Just what are you doing, Bill? What are you talking about? - Ana.
- Ana? - What about her? - I just went to see her.
What? You had no right to do that.
I went to see her and just get it out in the open and tell her that if you are dating her, we are all dating her.
Barb, I'm not dating.
I'm just trying to figure out if she's receptive to our beliefs, you know? Part of our journey.
- Whatever.
- No, not whatever.
I need to see if there's anything there before involving my wives in the complications that a potential new wife brings.
Well and good.
However, she tells me that she's not interested in marriage - and that you know it.
- She'll come around.
And when did you sign off on a fourth? Bill, the first time it snuck up on me on my deathbed.
The second time, the babysitter bit me.
Now this time, I want a say.
And if it's going to happen, it is going to happen on my watch.
What on earth is going on? Have you been fighting with Nicki or Margie? Things aren't just going to happen to me without my having a say in it.
You've always had a say, but this has got to happen at my pace.
Fine.
Fine.
We'll do it at your pace.
You've got three days to figure it out.
Either this is holy and we're all dating her, or it's illicit and you're going to dump her.
Don't look at me.
Are you Mary? Yeah.
How's it going so far? Today's my last day.
I thought I was going back to the judge's chambers, but Adaleen wants me over at the State Tax Audit Department.
Where are the keys for the file-room cabinets? Top drawer of the office manager's desk.
These people aren't so bad for heathens.
Just wanted to say bye.
Friday's cake day.
There must be some confusion.
You must be thinking of a different Barb.
No, she stayed for five minutes, she lectured me on dating a married man she was very forward and she said if I wasn't serious then I'm selfish.
That would be Barb.
But this is wonderful.
Now we can be open about it all.
We, me and you, or we, me and Bill? All of us! Everyone can know I know you're seeing him and everyone can know you and I still see each other and talk about him.
Or no no.
- Maybe not that last part.
- But now the wife of the man I'm seeing telling me I have date her too? Don't let Barb gum up the works.
For now, just continue on as is and only tell her what she needs to hear.
- Good night.
- Sir.
You don't know who I am, do you? I know who you are.
Franky.
What are you doing here? Our dad drove me to the city and had me get out.
When? Three weeks ago.
Would you talk to him for me and ask him to take me back? My mom needs me.
What happened? Nothing.
Well, you gotta tell me if I'm gonna be able to help you.
Nothing happened.
I just talked to a girl.
Would you talk to my dad and ask him to take me back? I want to go home.
I miss my mom and my brothers and sisters.
Come on, boys.
Settle down.
What are you doing here? Why did you change? I gotta go out to Juniper Creek.
Dad threw one of his boys off the compound.
I'm gonna pick him up and give him a ride back.
Sorry I'm late.
Is Margie ready? Uh, in a couple of minutes.
- Tell Mom, Dad and Nicki.
- What is it? Tell them.
Teenie, honey.
It's okay.
They won't let me go over there anymore.
Who won't? Chris and Tony's mother and father.
The O'Hares.
They told me I can't play there.
Sweetheart, what did they say? They said I was a bad influence.
What's that supposed to mean? I didn't do a thing nothing.
Mr.
And Mrs.
O'Hare were whispering - and then they just sent me home.
- What's going on? The neighbors accused Teenie of being a bad influence.
Are you sure Mr.
And Mrs.
Martin didn't tell? Ben, we'll handle it.
Maybe they're not home.
Maybe.
So what happened? Uh, nothing.
They weren't home.
We don't know what's going on.
All right, Nicki, I've had to cancel the roofers.
But they've already begun on my house.
We'll pick up the project again when we're on firmer ground.
I'll do it myself.
Why not? I've become the weak link bringing ruin unto the family.
While you're at the block party, I'll stay home and roof instead.
Your Mama Nicki's making a joke.
What? Whatever's happening involves all of us now, not just you.
I have a new item to discuss: I want to prepare us for the likelihood that we'll be putting date nights on the schedule.
I propose we pick Monday and Thursday nights.
- Who are we dating? - Ana.
Bill gave her the heave-ho weeks ago.
What? Hey, can I take the car for a half hour? Yes, the keys are on the counter.
She's back in the hunt? And you're for it? I mean, you just said things were tight.
You canceled my roofers.
We can't afford her.
Things are tight, Nicki, but we have to keep our family growing.
We have to think of the needs of our family as a whole and that doesn't always mean you get to choose the time.
Well, where's she gonna live? Not with me.
We're not there yet and we'd work it out.
Bill has three days to make it happen and then we're moving on.
What if she needs more than three days, though, to decide to date us? What if she's going away or something? Maybe there's a better way to handle it, Barb.
What are you suggesting? Just a little more time.
I know when I was dating Bill, the idea at first of dating you all was daunting.
How much more time? Seven weeks? No.
Absolutely not.
- Six? - You were dead set against the waitress.
- What changed? - If she's going to be with us in the afterlife, then I'd like to make that decision now.
I'm not just gonna have something sprung on me at the last minute.
- What does that mean? - It means what it means.
You're talking about me, aren't you? No, I am not talking about you.
That's the way you feel about me and my entry into the family.
Hector, protector! Nicki, just stop.
You are not turning this into something about you when it is about me.
I am in control of my life and I will have a say in the architecture of our family in the hereafter.
Fine then.
We could use a new wife anyway.
That's just your Mama Nicki trying to get in a dig at me.
Margie, please stop trying to turn that infant against me.
What what are you thinking? - Sarah.
- A fourth wife? L I don't want you to do it.
- Sweetie - No, you do not want to do this.
Yes, I do.
Great.
Why not five or six or seven? I said shut up.
Hello.
You have to take this lousy bird back or I will wring its neck.
Oh, Scruffy! What's the what's the matter with it? It's a horrible animal, Wanda.
Horrible.
Yeah, open its cage door and let it fly away.
No.
Something could get him and eat him and he's worth a lot of money.
Yes, sir $1,800.
That bird is not worth $1,800.
Nobody in their right mind would pay that much for a bird.
Yes, they would.
In some places he is worth $2,000.
Oh, my little mongoose.
My little mongoose.
Ricky-Tikki-Tavi! Ricky-Tikki-Tavi! - Dollars? - Mm-hmm.
Wanna kill a snake? Wanna kill a snake? Ssss! Huh? - Kill a snake? - What's he doing here? They're doing the same thing to this boy that they did to us.
I don't know if it was Alby or Dad.
It was Dad.
He just took a new wife.
My sister.
We were both sealed to Ron.
Your father claimed Jodean when Ron died.
I thought he was picking Kathy.
But don't mention it in front of Mom though it's a sore spot.
Dad goads her, says she's all used up and made him have to get a fresh one.
He's just using Jodean as a pretext to get rid of Franky.
Well, look who deigns to come back.
- Ignore her.
- Don't worry.
Who sealed 'em? I mean, with Roman in jail, who else has the authority? - Ignoring me? - Alby.
- Alby? - Ignoring me for months! Says Roman gave him the authority, - but no one knows - Won't come and won't come! Then comes and won't see me.
I don't care! How can you live within 100 miles of that woman? - Couldn't care less.
- Do you know where Dad is? Yeah! He's in a rat-hole 'cause that's where the rats live: With all the other rats.
I didn't think you were speaking to me.
He had a chance to run the U.
E.
B.
, to get rid of the Grants once and for all, and he abandoned us.
Says he's neutral! Neutral is for sissies.
Not these days, Ma.
Anyone who takes a powder and refuses to grab this opportunity to get rid of all Grants is no son of mine.
And I'm not saying one thing everyone's not thinking already.
Mom, Dad threw Franky off the compound.
Why do you have to involve yourself in other people's affairs? I don't know, Mother.
Maybe it's because I feel a kinship to boys thrown out of this place and made to live out on the streets.
Do you know how hard that is on the mother? Yeah, it's kind of hard on the boys too.
It's hardest on the mother.
Always hardest on the mother.
You you can't be here.
You can't.
- I missed you so much.
- I know.
What do you think of my new honey? - She something, huh? - Nice to see you, Bill.
Jodean.
She sits and fetches and rolls over.
Why don't you go around back there and help the girls dig out that new sewer line? I'm not taking him back.
He was kissing a girl that was earmarked for a very well-respected bishop in the community.
Dad, I'm sorry.
He's your son.
He just wants to come home.
I didn't like the way he was hanging around Jodean either.
It had all the signs of potential marital discord.
Well, if you don't take him back, I'll make sure you pay child support for - No, don't do that - It's not gonna happen! He's oversexed.
You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Oh, well, then take him with you.
- No, I don't want to go - Birds of a feather! Maybe you'll both like living up there in Sin City.
- You're subhuman.
- Stop, please.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
I know how this works dried up old man takes a young wife, feels threatened.
Come on! You come up here and judge how I practice the Principle, you and your fancy wives? You're not modern, you're just broken.
You're like watching a three-legged dog trying to hop it's got the instinct all right, it just doesn't know how to do it.
It's gonna be okay.
I know how you feel.
I've been through it.
I'll help you through it too.
Franky! Honey, are you okay? Stop! Don't! Not now.
Everybody's watching us.
I can feel it.
It's gonna be okay.
I'm history.
I'm a risk to the family.
I'm gonna have to go away.
No.
I want to get to know you I want to show you The peaceful feeling of my home Summer thunder on moon bright days Northern lights and skies ablaze And I'll bring to you Love when I sing You're hot Alby.
Come on! - Come on.
- Seriously, man.
So Barb tells Peg you're pursuing Ana together as a family.
Well, that's what Barb says, but she's given her blessing.
Wow.
She's really come a long way, thanks to you.
We have to keep moving forward with our testimonies, especially in these difficult times.
I'm not sure how fast I want to move on this one, Don.
I'm not sure if Ana has the right temperament.
- Feisty? - Well she has the potential to undermine all the progress I've made with Barb and Marge helping them in their struggles for salvation.
You know, it's been a long haul to get Barb onboard.
And Marge, well, she's still a little poco a poco.
God bless Nicki, at least in this regard.
Yeah, no one gets it: Being a good priesthood holder is knowing what others are capable of, knowing what's best for them to know and what might be too much for them to handle.
Well, she's extremely opinionated, very aggressive.
You can break this filly I know you can.
- You think so? - You bet I do.
She doesn't know what she wants.
Just go over there and show her.
Thanks, pal.
Thanks for your support.
It's tough.
No wonder when we find a wife that works, sometimes it's just easier to marry her sister next.
Mmm.
Why aren't you in your uniform? Let's skip work.
Let's go to the mall.
Why? I got my letter.
Oh my God, tell me you got in too.
I got in.
Yay! Oh, I could scream.
That is so great.
I told my parents I wanted to go to the U instead of the Y and they freaked out, but I talked them through it.
I'm so happy.
Now we can be together.
Yes! Let's go to the mall and celebrate.
Yay! How come you're not saying "yay"? Heather, I don't think I can go.
What do you mean you can't go? We made plans.
I don't want to stay in Utah.
I can't.
Is this about Scott? Are you, like, running off with him or something? No, just keep him completely out of this.
Well, what are you gonna do? I applied to other schools out-of-state schools.
Sarah Heather, I'm sorry, but I'll die if I stay here.
You know, I'm just real curious, you know? How does this whole thing work? You know, the polygamy thing.
When Jerry told me, I was like, "Whoa!" 'Cause I know a little bit of polygamy from Middle East.
You know, I lived on a kibbutz for a little while and I know Egyptians, they take multiple wives.
So - Well, I - We're just a big family, is all.
And we wives rotate and take turns.
But you belong to a cult? I mean, do you believe in some sort of a supreme prophet, something like that? Like that the mashugana guy on trial.
What's his name the pervert? Gosh, you know, we just live kinda normal.
We're really pretty boring lot of casseroles, take out the trash on Tuesdays say, that is a lovely bracelet.
Oh, this? Thank you.
It's a copy of a bracelet that Jerry got me in Vail.
We opened up a little jewelry workshop on the reservation now.
We make everything there except except turquoise.
So what do you think, LaDonna? Has Jerry told you about our business plan for the casino? Yeah.
But can I just say one thing? You Mormons you have pretty odd views on Indians, that they're dark-skinned and cursed, so why you want to be in business with us, huh? We're not really Mormon Mormons.
And I'm not sure that's really part of the deal anymore.
That's right, Margie.
It's not.
Yeah, but you believe in "Book of Mormon"? Yes? Yes.
And in "Book of Mormon," it says very specifically that Indians are loathsome dark-skinned Lamanites.
And just in case you didn't notice, Jerry is Indian.
So is he going to have to be turned "white and delightsome"? Well, I don't know about that.
"Nu-ma jundee nu-mane.
" That's very sweet of you.
And it's true.
We are peaceful people.
I like you, Margie.
I liked you from the start.
All right, Bill, let's hear the rest of your proposal.
Gladly.
Because I, for one, would be honored to be in business with you.
What do you want? Are you working for our father? No.
- Is Bill? - No! Yes, you are.
I happen to know for a fact Bill snuck on the compound yesterday, all afternoon, setting things up.
- Setting what up? - Don't play dumb with me.
He tried to have me killed.
L I barely escaped.
What are you talking about? You told Bill lies about me, about rumors that about behavior proclivities.
He tried to use it to kill me.
When? You know.
If someone tried to kill you, it wasn't us.
Then who was it? You see, we believe that in the afterlife, we go on as a family, sealed to one another forever, for all eternity.
Ana, I want you to be part of this plan, but we have to it has to be done in a certain way, on my terms.
We have to follow the path set forth for us by our Heavenly Father.
I don't think I can do it, Bill.
I'm sorry.
I care for you so much, but I think we should stop seeing each other.
No, please, don't.
I can't end it this way.
I'm so in love with you.
Darn it, Ana, why are you being like this? This is Dr.
Horth.
I was able to schedule your biopsy at the University Hospital next Tuesday at 11:00.

Hi, Barb, this is Dr.
Horth.
I was able to schedule your biopsy Bill.
Shh.
Shh.
Yes, Nell.
Yes.
She's so beautiful.
Yes.
We know where you were.
It's over.
I'm not going to see her again.
Ever.
Chapter 10: "The Prophet Picks Me.
" It was a bright summer day and I was just 16.
The berries hung heavy on the bushes and I was full of girlish excitement.
Oh.
Come in.
I was working on my book.
It may be my only ace in the hole if things go poorly for your father at trial.
Thanks for making up the driver's license.
Let me know if you need a passport.
I almost got caught.
I had to hide in the copy room for 45 minutes.
I could wind up in jail.
You have no idea how dangerous this job is.
Be strong, honey.
You have to have a stomach for the fight.
It's a huge thing you're doing.
It may be the one thing Heavenly Father has called you here to do, it's that huge.
Just the two? You're not listening to a word I've said.
No, I'm worried that Alby's trying to come after Bill.
He thinks Bill tried to kill him.
Bill? Good.
Who knew Bill had it in him? He doesn't.
He didn't.
Well, it was Alby's own fault.
I heard it was in a public bathroom.
Mama.
It's disgusting a public john.
And I know you know what I'm talking about tap tap tap.
Well, it's who he chooses to be.
How can you help someone if they won't fix themselves? What are you saying? What am I saying? I don't know.
Rob? I stopped by your house a couple days ago.
Hello, Bill.
Must have been working.
You know how that goes.
Getting ready for the block party.
Everyone from your tribe coming? I don't know.
Maybe.
I might have to work.
Listen, I've got to ask you something: Do you have some problem with my daughter? With my family? Oh.
No, not really.
Nothing that's It's really none of my business.
Then what is it? You know, I couldn't help but noticing on the new ward map that you and Barb are inactive.
And I was awful sorry to see that.
I guess I've always felt a man's belief and faith are personal.
He doesn't need to justify it or defend himself to anyone.
Why are you allowing Roman Grant's daughter to rent one of your houses? They know.
They know we're one big family.
Are you positive? This thing with Teenie? And Rob O'Hare just now What are we gonna do? I didn't think this ridiculous block party mattered, but it's come to matter a great deal.
- We're all going.
We have to.
- Why? We're not going to give these people the power to define who we are.
And we're sure as heck not going to let them shame us.
Uh, Sarah? - Honey? - We have to push back, especially now.
That's easy for you to say.
It's different for me.
Your last name isn't Grant.
Honey, please, we are all in this together.
Your children won't be the objects of scorn and ridicule.
They are all our children, Nicki I won't have them see us bowing and scraping and apologizing - while we're being judged.
- This is the world we live in.
We don't live on a compound.
No.
It's too high a price for me; I won't go.
I can't.
Dad? Franky? What happened to you? What is it? You'll see.
"The Book of Mormon.
" They gave it to me when I joined the family.
I think it's what we do, so I'm giving it to you.
Thank you.
That's very thoughtful.
- It's too late, Margie.
- No.
I can't accept that.
I won't.
Do you know how much you mean to him? He's been fasting and praying all day.
I don't think I'm the right one for you.
But you've got so much to give and no one to give it to.
We all want you so much.
I'm just a waitress in a coffee shop.
No! Don't sell yourself short.
I know you want love.
Everyone does.
I'm the other woman.
That's how I feel comfortable.
Maybe that's all I was ever meant to be.
Ana.
What if you'd never taken a chance before in your life? If you don't open yourself up to the possibility of something better, you'll never have it.
You are meant to be in this family.
Don't throw it all away.
Oh.
Excuse me, miss? Excuse me, miss? Um, this is Paul Nelson's.
He's right across from me.
I'm Ray Henry.
Boss.
Oh! I'm sorry.
I'm new here.
It's okay.
Glad to have you aboard.
- Thanks.
- Um, Miss Heffman.
Margene Heffman.
Welcome.
Ray, we just lost two Jane Does.
All right.
I'm losing all my witnesses, all right? We have two left! Roman Grant is getting to them all.
Ray, look.
We can still have Everybody all set? - All right.
- Okay.
I'm afraid.
I don't want to go.
Don't be, sweetie.
We're proud of who we are.
You just get out there and you show 'em your real personality, okay? - All right.
- Let's go.
All right.
All right, stay with your brother.
Come on! Get in there! Oh! Why don't you guys take Teenie and go get some dessert? You're right.
Okay.
Right here.
Hey.
Uh, I hear you had a run-in with the O'Hares the other day.
Just Rob.
Look, I don't know what he's been saying, but apparently he's been talking to everybody in the neighborhood.
Your daughters couldn't be more different.
Uh, how do you mean? I don't know, they're just different.
Teenie is sure growing up quickly.
- Hmm.
- I notice that too.
Hey, hurry, do it.
Let's take it.
Hey, you, I see you! I see you, stop it! - Stop it! - Don't listen to her.
See you later, plyg.
So where do you want to go on your mission, Ben? Actually, I'm thinking about joining the air force first.
You can always join the military.
You know, mission is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
It shouldn't be postponed.
You know, if it's financial, we could talk about your savings plan.
Bill.
Teenie? Honey! Teenie.
Barb? Patty, just what do you think you're doing? We caught your daughter with Tony and Chris again and we told her she wasn't allowed.
Patty, if you have something to say about my family, - you go ahead and say it.
- It's not your family.
It's just Tancy.
She says she has a club and she shows the boys dirty magazines and charges them Here.
That's it? You're out of line, O'Hare.
Why don't you look to your own family, not mine? - You're overreacting.
- I think you need to mind your own business.
I can advise my son about his future without Bill? Your son's got a yearning for spirituality.
I think I know what's best for my son and my family.
- Bill.
- Don't let your choices put your son in jeopardy.
Mr.
O'Hare, there's nothing wrong with my father's choices.
- Bill.
- You want to get this? Let's go.
- Let's just get it out in the open! - Wait! You were right.
You were all right.
I am the daughter of Roman Grant.
I know you hate him.
I know you want to judge me.
But you don't know me.
All I've ever wanted was to be off the compound, to live a normal life.
And when the Henricksons and Margie, they reached out to me and tried to help me break away and become truly free, it was the first kindness I'd ever truly known.
I never thought I'd bring anything bad on them.
I would I would never do anything to hurt them.
I would move off this street before I would do that.
They took my ladder.
I was really touched by that.
Is that true? Bravo, Nicki.
- Out of the park, kiddo.
- Wow.
Thank goodness this horrible day is over.
Okay, everyone.
I'm here on your terms.
