Roman Grant was examined by a physician last night after appearing listless and distracted in yesterday's pretrial hearing.
There have been reports that the polygamous leader has been struggling with depression.
And meanwhile, in a show of family unity, the prophet's sons spoke to reporters following this morning's rally in downtown Salt Lake City.
We are confident that these scurrilous charges against our father will be proven false.
- Alby's such a weasel.
- Do something constructive.
- Good morning.
- Hey, there's Daddy.
We'll find Superman.
Yeah, come on.
Let's eat breakfast.
Oh, yeah.
How did it go last night? How did what go? Nicki.
I suppose everyone watched the news this morning.
We're trying to limit our intake.
I wish you'd keep your music down.
You kept me awake until two 2:00 A.
M.
Gosh, I'm sorry, Nicki.
I didn't realize it was that late.
What? Well, she did.
It was loud enough to wake the dead.
Nicki, can you help me for a second in the kitchen? Could you be any less tactful? Her mother just died and she's trying to find her way.
We could be a little understanding and give her a break.
What about me? My father is on trial and you don't hear me being a crybaby.
That's completely selfish.
Okay, obviously this trial is a huge event in all of our lives, so let's all just try and talk through it.
In a fair, even-handed way.
You can't pretend to me, Barb.
I know you're on his side too.
There are no sides.
Look, it's entirely up to us whether it draws us closer or tears us apart.
Understood? Yes.
Is that it? No.
There's one more thing.
For the rest of the trial, we are giving you, Nicki, our nights.
We can agree to disagree by day, but differences have to be put aside for the greater good of the family.
So we're giving you every night together to do just that.
I want you to know that I will help you in every way to take the stand and testify.
I will back you up.
Why do you want me to testify now? Before, you wanted me to get on a bus and get out of town.
I know.
I was wrong.
I apologize to you for that.
I put my own well, I put my own interests first.
Roman said that if I go back to the compound, I can have a dance just for me.
No, sweetheart.
I think he's lying to you.
He's the only one that's been kind to me.
Rhonda, Roman is a false prophet.
He twists people's minds.
What do you think I should do? I think you should testify against Roman.
Will it make people like me more? I would like you more.
Your mother tells me you haven't been to work in two days.
What's the matter, honey? Are you upset about something? No, Papa.
Well, are you angry at me? It might break my pea-pickin' heart, but you can tell me if you are.
No, of course not.
Look at you.
I held you in my arms, and now you've grown strong, and I've become old.
Papa, don't talk like that.
Look, I know Bill has made this very difficult for you, but I need you to protect me now, as I once watched over you.
Will you bring me copies of supporting briefs and names of character witnesses? Of course, Papa.
You know I will.
You give me such great joy, my darling daughter.
Look at this.
I let Vernie keep her MasterCard to make sure the kids were taken care of.
Look what she did.
She and JoJo charged 4800 bucks at Home Depot Expo on new furniture.
And they're taking me to the cleaners.
I'm such a fool.
No, you're not a fool at all.
You know, I suffered a recent loss too.
- My mother passed away.
- I know, Margene.
I haven't had a chance to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
I would have loved for you to have met her.
She was a showgirl and when she was young she really lit up a room.
Wow, she's so glamorous.
She's a Marilyn Monroe.
Um Here you go.
I'm so worried, Don, and I don't want Bill to know I'm worried, so I'd appreciate if you'll keep this between us.
I need to know what our resources are.
If Bill testifies and worse comes to worst, what do we have to fall back on? Barb, Home Plus just had its first full quarter in the red.
We're gonna have a hard time making pension contributions this month.
And Weber? I was just going over the statements when you called.
There's nothing here.
We had to divert funds for the casino startup.
That column on the far right is projected cash flow.
But right now, today, there's nothing.
Your father is going down, Alby.
You'll be running things soon.
We need to look ahead.
Why would I want to discuss anything with you, Bill? I'd like to help you.
Help me? How would you help me? Investment strategies for UEB accounts, economic development opportunities for the compound.
Now I know you have your pick of advisors and you and I have had our differences, but I've had some success in the private sector and I'd like to help you if I could.
So let me hear it.
Tell me.
Why don't you swing by my office? Your office? Sure, why not? We can talk things over.
Let me think about it.
I'll get back to you.
What does he want? I don't know.
And just where was he while we were doing all the hard work alone? He's a Johnny-come-lately.
And he bears us no good will, Albert.
Give me your fives.
Give me your jacks.
Go fish.
Would you like to watch the news? No, thank you.
Give me your threes.
Go fish.
Would you like to have sex with me? No, I would not like to have sex with you.
- Hello.
- Nita, where is he? What's going on? It's not good.
Frank took out a life insurance policy on you two days ago.
He's trying to hunt you down like a dog.
Where are you? I'm homeless.
I've got $16 and half a tank of gas to my name.
Why did you tell Alby where he was at? I couldn't let you murder him.
You've strayed so far from our Heavenly Father.
Frank.
No, Frank.
What will you do if your father is convicted? I really don't know.
Hurry up, Margie.
I have more important things to do than grocery shopping - much more important.
- We all do.
But grocery shopping has to get done too.
I saw his picture from the hearing.
He looked stern and scary to me.
Is he scary? I had a friend growing up whose father was a general in the Serbian-backed forces in Bosnia.
He was tried for war crimes.
Excuse me, I don't need any more comments from the peanut gallery.
What's next? Ice cream.
She's a bitch.
If I have to live with her, things would change.
- Could you get the milk? - Yeah.
She's just trying to fit in.
Why are you so angry with her? Why are you so angry with Bill? What is going on? Nicki, why do you suppose you're really so angry? Oh, is that what you think? I am not like you.
I know exactly what I'm feeling.
I'm not the kind of person who hides my true feelings from myself.
What am I hiding? Hello.
Your mother.
You're wallowing in denial.
Barb and Bill think that you should be coddled.
I love you, Marge.
No offense, but either deal with it or just move on.
Stop the indulgence.
Hey, wait.
We admire you for looking into adoption and know that the Lord will guide you in your decision.
It amazes me how much love, and admiration and appreciation we can feel for you, being that we don't know you.
Even before meeting you, we've prayed for you.
We're so grateful for your love and concern for your child.
Hey, glad to see you back.
We missed you.
I've assembled the digests of the witness statements.
I'll grab them in a sec.
I've got someone in my office.
Of course I know who you are.
You were deposed by one of my associates.
You're a witness for Roman Grant.
Not by choice.
Roman Grant may be behind bars, but he still has the ability to coerce and intimidate.
Kathy Marquart's house has been vandalized.
And pressure's being put on Rhonda Volmer too.
She's impressionable and alone and she's wavering.
No, she's with her mom.
Her mother skipped town three weeks ago.
Rhonda's living in a flophouse.
You've got to do something to protect these girls.
What's your stake in all this? I read your deposition.
Are you still living on the compound? Look, I was born there.
I grew up there.
They're my people, like my brother.
He stayed.
A lot of the people in my life have been hurt by the darkness of Juniper Creek.
When did you leave it all behind? I was run off as a kid.
Well, it's been almost 30 years now.
You can't make me stay here.
You are free to go at any time.
Rhonda this is for our protection.
We're doing the right thing.
Hello.
Barb, it's me.
Step outside.
Mother, I told you I wasn't going to do that anymore.
But I was about to call you too.
Me first.
No, Mother, actually, I think I need to go first.
Bill's been subpoenaed as a witness and might be taking the stand to testify.
Everything could come crashing in on us at any minute.
We would welcome any additional security for the children.
Who's this woman on your lawn with the two boys? What boys? They're on your lawn.
She's wearing a purple top.
Oh, uh she's with Wayne and Raymond, my sons by Nicki.
Oh, yes, Roman's daughter.
Every time I see that man's desiccated face on television, it makes my skin crawl.
And I'm still appalled that he's actually been in your home, and you live with his daughter.
We're doing everything we can to see that he's put away, but there's a steep price to pay for it.
Well, I'll have to discuss all of this with Ned.
You know, let's talk about this later, okay? All right, bye.
Thank you for sticking by me, Jodean.
I'm with you forever, Kathy, no matter what.
But testifying on my behalf I know the pressure it puts on you.
It's not a hard decision to make because I've never known more love than I have for you, my sister.
Bye now.
Wanda.
I'm sorry for dragging you and Joey into this, truly sorry.
And I want you to know that I'm totally willing to go this alone.
Okay.
Because I love you.
And if my being with Joey or loving Joey is too hard on you, then I'll leave.
Just tell me to and I will.
Okay.
I want you to leave.
Just kidding.
Police estimates now put the total number of Grant supporters as above those seen at the 2005 Michael Jackson trial.
Lawyers for the prosecution voiced their concern about the potential for witness tampering Living like good boy oughta And your mama Takes a shine to her best son Something different All the girls, they seem to like you 'Cause you're handsome like to talk And a whole lot of fun Gonna take your mama out all night Yeah, we'll show her what it's all about We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne And let the good times all roll out And if the music ain't good well it's just too bad We're gonna sing along no matter what Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans - Rhonda Volmer's testifying.
- Not against me, she isn't.
I'm afraid she's gone into protective custody.
You do not understand Rhonda.
I do.
She will never turn against me.
I strongly suggest a plea.
Take it and run.
If you're found guilty, that's it.
You spend the rest of your life in jail.
- I won't be found guilty.
- Take this deal, Roman.
You're advising me to admit to something I did not do just to save my own neck? A lie in the service of an act of selfish venality? No.
No deal.
No deal.
Say, would you like a 7UP? - Let me get you a 7UP.
- I'd like that.
Suzy, 7UP for Mr.
Grant.
Come on in.
Make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
All right.
Thanks.
Six counts of sexual misconduct with a minor are being brought against Roman Grant who's allegedly sealed countless young women Here we go.
I'll take my jacket.
Okay.
I've got my jury now.
Opening arguments in less than 24 hours.
I live, eat, breathe, drink all things Roman Grant.
I'm obsessed with the man.
It isn't natural, you know? Yeah, I guess so.
Maybe.
What can I do to help? Uh, can you order me a chicken sandwich? Of course.
On white toast.
Done.
What are you smiling at? It's exciting being here.
It's all coming down to these last two witnesses here.
We put them in protective custody yesterday, in a place where Roman Grant cannot get to them.
Thank heavens.
With lots of security? Yeah, they're good.
It's a hotel we've used before.
So you don't have to worry, okay? Poor people Kathy Marquart and her family they come in here so well-meaning, still living in Juniper Creek, just really trying to do the right thing.
In the end it's just futile, though, you know? It's like trying to keep clean while you're standing waist deep in a cesspool.
You look at them and you just know they'll never truly be free of it.
You know? Thanks, Marge.
If this has anything to do with Roman's trial, I'm not playing.
- You've been meddling, haven't you? - No.
In what way? You know what way.
You had Kathy and Rhonda put in protective custody.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You need to think about what would happen if Roman loses this case.
He will lose.
Does it ever bother you, Adaleen, that he stole the innocence from his own daughter? You don't know what you're talking about.
You'd better listen to me.
Alby's always had it in for you.
If you let him win this case, I wouldn't be surprised if he skins you alive and splits your gut wide open till your entrails spill out all over the floor.
I'm sorry, Adaleen, but I'm following the dictates of my conscience.
Well, then won't it be on your conscience if something were to happen to those two girls.
Don't think I'm onboard.
I really don't know what I think.
I still can't get over that I was the last one to know.
I'm really sorry.
I just had now idea how I was gonna tell you.
Here we are.
Those are nice.
I was on mission in Guatemala.
I collected textiles, backstrap loom weavings.
They're called huipils.
The most prized have silk.
Sandy, on your blog you mentioned you're OCD? Me? Yes.
Classic type my moodiness, my defensiveness, I can be a holy terror.
We all have our burdens.
But thank you Eric accepts me as I am.
And Sandy accepts me.
We're all vulnerable to Satan and his temptations.
But Eric is nothing if not diligent in his quest for righteousness his SSA Same-sex attraction.
How did you meet? Freshman year in college.
When Eric told me he was gay.
And then you got married? There was a lot to work out, obviously, but over that time we came to love each other very much.
There was a lot of prayer that formed the basis for our relationship.
I had to make the decision if I was going to do what my libido wanted or what my heart wanted.
Though I am as gay as they come, through the Lord's help I've been able to develop a lot of masculine qualities.
Someday, I believe, I will no longer have homosexual attractions.
But it might not be until I am resurrected from the dead.
If the church says it's okay, maybe there's something to it we don't understand.
Heather, counseling women to marry gay men and telling gay men to get married is just wrong.
I don't know what the solution is to the gay thing, but this isn't it.
- Was he coming on to me? - Shut up, Ben.
I don't want my baby to be brought up in a home where there's no true intimacy or a mutually nourishing relationship.
I'm just saying they seemed to really care about each other.
They seem really well-meaning.
Who isn't? Everybody is well-meaning.
They're well meaning.
LDS Social Services is well-meaning.
Look, I've held my tongue, but I say give the baby to Mom and Dad.
I'm sorry, this whole thing is crazy to me anyway.
Heather, please just be on my side.
- Turn off the music, Ben.
- It's "Loaves and Fishes.
" I don't feel like listening to Christian Rock right now.
You're just gonna run away to school in Arizona to hide the fact that you're pregnant from your family for nine months? Just give it to Mom and Dad.
No, I am not going to give up my baby to be brought up in polygamy.
Do you know who this is? I know this woman.
This is one of Roman Grant's wives.
That's Adaleen Grant, Roman's sixth wife.
She's the mastermind who's been turning all your witnesses.
She's set up her operation outside the prison.
You'll find her there.
- How do you know all this? - She called me this morning making wild threats.
She's relentless.
She will not stop until she has the keys to their rooms.
Bring her in for questioning.
Let me ask you something, Ray.
What would you think if I could deliver Albert Grant to you, get him to publicly denounce his father before the cameras and in court? Are you kidding? Baby Grant makes a public break with Papa? I've been working him.
I think I can swing him.
By when? Tomorrow? I don't know.
Soon.
I'll keep working.
Yeah.
What do you mean, "Go now"? What are you talking about? Oh! I'm sorry to bring this to your doorstep, but I didn't know what else to do.
Your father's gone on a complete rampage and he has threatened to do me grave harm.
But what could have set him off? What do you think triggered it? I don't know.
It's just how he is.
But he has become erratic and a bit unbalanced as he's gotten older.
We'll sort it out tomorrow.
Ben, take your grandma upstairs to freshen up and shower and ask Sarah to put out some clean clothes.
Thank you.
I truly appreciate this.
I need to run something else by you and I want you to take five seconds before answering.
I invited Alby over for dinner tonight.
- No.
- I said five seconds.
- No.
- I'm trying to turn him to our side.
He's a nutcase.
He put snakes in our bed.
I know, Barb, but right now getting Roman convicted trumps everything else, and Alby's critical.
I called Nicki.
She won't be home tonight.
She's working late.
It's important, Barb.
Alby craves attention and respect.
I'm telling you, it will work.
It isn't here.
It is here.
It has to be here because this is exactly where I had it buried.
Get out of the hole.
Your poor father we've got to protect him from himself.
He's got an obsession with that girl, and it's not a healthy obsession.
Rhonda is dangerous.
We need this money.
It's the only thing she cares about.
Mama, I was in the Joy Book.
Dear Lord, this trial.
It's not his fault.
How could it be his fault? Those girls just love him.
And who wouldn't? He is a prophet who walks among us.
Maybe some of them didn't want to get married.
His heart's just too big.
He just is throwing caution to the wind over that girl.
I didn't want to get married the first time.
How can you say that? You don't mean that.
You were so proud that day.
You looked so pretty in that pink dress.
We sang together all day while we sewed that dress.
Honey, if we don't find this stash, you're gonna have to give me what's left of what you pinched from the UEB.
No, Mama, you said if I gave you half, I could keep the rest.
You have to.
Don't you see? There is no other choice.
All right, this is a bust.
- Where did you bury yours? - In town.
Well, let's go get it.
We gotta get that girl a one-way ticket out of town.
Let's go.
There's $30,000 in there and I'm gonna get it.
We've got to hurry now.
We went to Maui, but, oh, it was so hot.
It was the off season.
But I bought three lovely paperweights for Father to put on his secretaire.
- What is this? - Summer gazpacho.
- Mine's just a bit cold.
- Oh.
Would you like me to warm it up? I'll help you.
Glory, why don't you go lend a hand? Your wife Barbara is most gracious.
You married her for love, didn't you? Yes, I did.
Mm, I could tell.
I came to love late.
I married Lura for love.
Glory and Connie at home were for the Principle.
But we all get along well.
I'm glad to hear it.
I knew we had a lot in common, but I admit I didn't realize it would go this well.
And in the spirit of rapprochement, Bill, I just want you to know I'll see to it that no charges will be filed against your mother.
My mother? For the torture and attempted murder of your father.
Yes.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about the transition after Roman and what would make it the smoothest for you.
Alby, I think you need to be a bit more public.
Public? How? By taking a strong and decisive lead.
Indicate some of your father's failures the things that you and I know now, instead of after the conviction.
So that's what all this is about? You've just been trying to work me? No, that's not it at all.
I'm stating a simple truth.
It's gonna happen, Alby.
You're on the threshold of history.
Lead the flock.
Show them the way.
Take a stand.
I think he's getting ready to ask.
If it wasn't so complicated, I'd say yes and try it and see.
But I guess this isn't that kind of situation that you can just try out.
Well, if you're waiting to be 1000% sure, it's never gonna happen.
I wasn't.
Of course I had doubts, but I just took the leap.
What if you don't like it or if you damage your hair? I know what I'm doing.
I read the instructions.
This is gonna be so great.
Hello.
I have some news for you, Roman, that I wanted to share.
I have your son, Roman.
Alby's gonna turn on you.
He's gonna publicly denounce you tomorrow morning.
I have your wife.
And she will never love you like she loves me.
Alby is a fool.
Besides, I had a prophesy last night how this will all turn out.
I will prevail.
So you'd best chose your next steps carefully.
I'm giving you one last chance to counsel Kathy not to take the stand.
She'll be there, Roman.
She will testify.
And so will Alby.
As you wish, son.
As you wish.
Sarah, hi.
I'm glad you're not there, but I want to tell you this.
I just wanted to say you've been right all along.
I've been wrong.
I'm really confused and messed up.
I know that now.
And maybe someday we could be friends again.
Turndown service.
Are you here to kill me? Oh, for heaven's sakes, of course I'm not here to kill you.
How much is it? $30,000.
I suggest you take it and run tonight.
And make sure you don't get caught by the cops.
But I'm Roman's favorite again.
Oh, no, you're not.
And you've betrayed him for the last time.
But they brought me here against my will.
He's washed his hands of you.
He's throwing you away for the bad penny you are.
He doesn't love you.
An no one really cares about you.
He doesn't want to give you a nickel, but I'm taking pity on you.
It's more than you deserve.
Take it.
Save yourself.
But he said he loved me.
The beauty of the lily, Christ was born across the sea In the glory of His bosom that transfigures you and me As he died to make men holy - # Let us live to make men free # - Pervert! Pedophile! While God is marching on Glory glory hallelujah Glory glory hallelujah - # Glory glory hallelujah! # - You pedophile, shut up! I'm the Prophet of Juniper Creek! - It's Bill.
- Bill, it's me.
Joey? What can I do for you? Rhonda's gone.
She's disappeared.
Daggone it! The DA called.
She cleared out of her room and vanished.
There's no one he can't get to.
We can't do it alone, Bill.
It's tearing us apart.
You don't have to testify now, but Kathy is on the stand tomorrow.
It's gonna be okay.
Listen to me.
I'm not listening, Bill.
In overnight developments, Rhonda Volmer, one of the two remaining witnesses, has apparently dropped out of the case.
Several of Mr.
Grant's protestors an aging self-proclaimed prophet.
He has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
- Hello? - Good morning.
Could you step outside, please? I'm not coming out to talk today of all days, Mother.
No no, not to talk.
I've left a peace offering outside your door.
- I didn't know we were fighting.
- Grandma, breakfast is ready.
Is that Lois? I haven't seen her in years.
- Mother.
- Excuse me.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois! Nancy.
It's been a long time.
Is she having breakfast too, Grandma? Ask her yourself.
No, honey, thank you.
Lois Don't patronize me.
I know you think I'm a dirty chinchilla.
You sadden me, Lois.
You always have.
Sweetheart, would you run on back inside? You have always treated me like dirt.
Well, let me tell you something, Miss Fancy Madam I am not dirt.
Nor is my son.
So you stop treating us like it.
You were an abused woman.
I don't take that lightly.
Yes yes yes, sister.
Well, don't you worry.
I'm fine now.
Well, I tried to help you.
I had you all set up in that apartment, but you had to change your mind and go back to that husband and that culture everything that, thank God, this trial is at last trying to expose.
Yes yes yes, thank you for your concern, but that's all behind me.
I think the defense team is gonna go after the witnesses credibility very strongly I know you gotta run.
Breakfast is ready.
Whoa there.
You didn't quite tell me the truth about Dad, did you, Mother? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- Oh, I think you do.
I have a headache this morning.
Mother? Nancy? I came over with a peace offering because I can't do those trusts, but Lois took my basket.
And I baked those things from scratch.
What trusts? I asked Mother to set up a trust fund for the children.
Yes, but Ned advised against it.
Apparently my portfolio is performing very well and he says it's not a good year to get hit with capital gains.
I wanted to take the pressure off.
If Mother could take care of our three, we could concentrate on the rest of the children.
- Hello, Nancy.
- Mother, say hello to Nicki.
Hello.
Look, I gotta go.
Bill.
There's that woman again.
It's the new me.
What on earth have you gone and done to yourself? Mother, this is Ana.
Let's have our waffles.
Please don't embarrass me.
How? You look like a prostitute.
No, sweetie, you don't look like a prostitute.
Barb? I'm sorry, I just can't look at you.
I like it.
Well, you look just like a complete whore.
- Nicki.
- That is not fair! You're awfully good with children.
Is that what you do here? I've listened to all of your complaints, Nicki, all of your grievances, and you can't even compliment me once? I hope your father loses and they send him up the river for the rest of his life 'cause he's mean and creepy.
Whoa whoa whoa! And just so you know, we can't stand him and we're doing - everything we can to bring him down! - Margie.
Nicki, wait.
I didn't say one thing not one thing that's not the truth.
Margie, enough.
Well, if you're not the babysitter, what are you? Actually, I'm dating the family.
I'm dating to become the fourth wife.
Mother, please don't say a word.
You don't need four.
You've got three.
That's celestial.
That's all you need for now and eternity, unless you're going for a quorum.
What's a quorum? - Seven.
- Seven?! I told you this is all just a whim for him.
It's a lifestyle preference.
This is more than a lifestyle.
It's what we believe.
It was your grandfather's faith.
You're a dabbler, a gadfly monogamy, polygamy, Home Plus, casinos.
You're wrong.
I love this woman with all my heart.
And I love this woman, heart and soul.
And this one, Margene, as a blond or a brunette, either way.
And Nicki, who helped save your daughter's life, who you both could learn from, because she doesn't stop loving even when she should.
And we want this one to marry us.
Right now.
Right away.
Will you, Ana? L I don't know what to say.
How can you let this happen? Because I second the motion.
And I propose too.
Me too.
Can I think it over? Of course.
My beautiful little sister, when did our parents ever care a thing for you? And yet you're still trying to please them.
How can you let yourself be used by them and do their bidding? You don't even know why I'm here.
What is it in you that hates yourself so much? What are you doing here? Don't you lecture me not to get involved when apparently those rules don't apply to you.
You're obsessed with my father.
Nicki, go home right now.
Can't you understand I love him? The state calls Katherine Marquart.
Now we're being told that the prosecution's star witness Kathy Marquart has just entered Sarah, it's Kathy.
Our cameras got a look at her as she entered the courtroom this morning.
Now as we said before her testimony as the key witness could be the decisive blow to the Roman Grant defense.
Now let's join News Team 4's own Georgia Hinkby who's been standing by live at the courthouse.
As you can see in the background Hey, I want you to know, whatever you want whatever you want to do, I'm with you, okay? So you corroborate your sister's testimony in every way? Yes, sir.
In every way you asked me about.
Okay that'll be all, You Honor.
Thank you.
Miss Marquart, who is your sister? And you are twins, correct? Yes, sir.
Would you say that you were close with your sister? Yes, sir, very.
I love Kathy more than anyone in the world.
And you and your sister were both married to Ronald Hassen at the same time? Yes, sir, for 11 years.
How old were you on your last birthday? - 29? - I'm pretty sure.
I think so.
You think so? We didn't celebrate birthdays on the compound growing up.
We only celebrated Joseph Smith's birthday, December 23rd.
Your sister Kathy says that she is 27 now.
Kathy and I always argued about how old we were.
How old were you when you married Ronald Hassen? Miss Marquart? - 19.
- Your sister says that you were both 16, not quite 17.
Is she wrong? Miss Marquart, is your sister wrong? - I don't know.
- Simple question in your opinion, is you sister wrong? I guess so.
Yes.
Do you have anything to prove your age a birth certificate? - We don't have birth certificates.
- Hospital records? We don't have any.
We were born at home.
It's not unusual not to know how old you were on the compound, because nobody ever told us.
That's all.
So maybe I was wrong.
Maybe l That's all, Miss Marquart.
I'll entertain a plea.
In chambers.
Now.
Kathy, wait.
Whether you appreciate it or not, I'm doing this for you, for what he did to you.
No, I can take care of myself.
- Alby, where are you going? - Home.
- I want you to talk to the DA.
- Are you a complete fool? This is collapsing.
You crawl out on the limb if you want.
I'm playing to fight another day.
Heavenly Father knew best.
Our enemies have been vanquished and the righteous have prevailed.
Clear 'em out of here.
Clear 'em out of here.
Gotta go.
Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty Early in the morning Our song shall rise to meet.
You made this possible, my darling daughter.
Honey! Oh! All right, all right, all right.
Back off.
Back off.
- Are you all right? - I can get up.
What happened? Oh, gosh.
- Did you see it? - I didn't see anything.
