Big Love (2006) s04e03 Episode Script

This meeting with Paley is do or die.
Thanks for arranging the sit-down.
I know how stressful things have been the last few months.
Cheryl and I tried our best to make it work.
Moving out of the house was tough, but now I get to walk to work.
Big change.
Yeah, well, you're lucky.
Things go bad with one you got two more on the bench.
Though it doesn't make running for State Senate such a smart move.
Hey, Joseph Smith ran for president.
Yeah, and one year later, he's killed by an angry mob.
Look, the party's gonna investigate you.
They're gonna look under every rock for secrets.
You got some pretty big rocks, Bill.
An endorsement from Paley's all I'm focusing on right now.
Without that, I don't make it.
Look, it's your first meeting with the congressman.
An out-and-out endorsement is probably pushing it.
Just ask him not to endorse Colburn.
You got me in the room, Lee.
I think I can close the deal.
I looked up the statistics before leaving, and it's true, this is a dangerous city.
It may not look like it is, but it is.
These people may seem normal, but they're not.
There are some neighborhoods you can't imagine.
Stick by my side at all times.
Don't flash money.
Don't talk to strangers.
Don't let anyone proposition you.
Okay.
- Whores.
- What? Eyes front.
- From the left.
It's better for her.
- You got it.
So, Margie, honey, think you're ready for prime time? Am I? - I mean, yes! - Good.
Because we're featuring Hearts on a Sleeve jewelry tomorrow night from 7 to 8 p.
m.
Oh, Bev! Prime time's the big time, Margie, Okay.
I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but the big brass they're looking at tomorrow night as an audition for the fall color special.
- They want a fresh face to host.
- To host? Get out of here.
Beverly Don't thank me.
Just doing my job.
You're ready to go out and kill, right? - Of course.
- Good.
Oh, and we shoot live which is a lot of pressure, but it's a lot of fun.
So invite your friends and family.
Think that's our van! Nick! Welcome to Don't say anything.
I'll explain later.
She had to come.
Hi, Bill.
Thanks so much for including me.
- I'm really excited to be here.
- Gee, I'm glad, sweetheart.
Come on, let's get you guys out of the rain.
Honey? Scott's in Idaho.
After all that you and I have been through, I thought I'd come see you.
I was about to take off for the casino.
Can I come? Could I help you out there? I mean, I'd love to finally see it.
You know what? Yes.
Yes, you could.
- Oh, Margene, I'm leaving.
- Oh, Barb! Amazing news! - I'm gonna be on prime time tomorrow.
- Honey! Oh, that's wonderful.
Oh, I'm so happy for you! Can you come? Everyone's bringing family members for support.
Tomorrow? I've got four seminars at the casino.
Don't forget, Teenie's coming back.
Barb, there's going to be, like, a million people watching.
It's probably the biggest thing that's ever happened to me.
Honey, I'm sorry, I just don't think it's possible.
When does Bill get back? He's staying with Nicki and Cara Lynn.
Even if he were here, he couldn't be seen with you.
He's running all over Washington with Nicki.
That's the only place they can freely be a couple, at least for now.
Hello, Barbara.
Hello.
Oh, thank you.
They can go anywhere.
This trip was an investment in our future.
A romantic weekend for us, Nicki.
We're about to get swept up in a campaign and you and I need to be squared away.
If I can't make it work with her now, Bill, I'll lose her.
She's brainwashed.
And JJ's poisoning her.
It has to end.
She has to assimilate.
If she can assimilate into some clothes that are a little less conspicuous I'll breathe a whole lot easier.
- I'm on it.
I want this campaign now, too, Bill.
I do.
And I want us to be as solid as you do.
I just can't help but get the feeling like you're trying to avoid doing the hard work.
I want us to move forward towards bringing a new child into the family if that squares with you.
Hello? Canceled? Until when? No, I can't wait three weeks.
Look, all I need is five minutes.
Let's unpack some of the new clothes we brought.
Mix-up? No, no, I called and confirmed this appointment yesterday.
Well, I just flew 3000 miles, so I'm more than a little inconvenienced.
The front desk apologizes.
Should be another room in the afternoon.
Great.
Well, I'm a busy man too.
Did he even read my materials? No, I won't call back tomorrow.
I don't care that he has a fundraiser.
Roman Grant is dead, so your services on behalf of the trust are no longer required.
I was appointed by the state, not by you.
Based on circumstances that have nothing to do If you refuse to turn over the UEB's books and records I will get a court order and compel you.
Why don't you wait outside? No.
No, your counsel needs to stay.
We're on the record here.
After you ran off, you looked back at me.
DNA? I know you're familiar with the term.
And the prophet's mysterious demise should be all of our business.
With so many new forensic techniques to help us solve such puzzles the county is eager to conduct a full investigation.
So what? Good for them.
I am simply trying to prepare my family for the unpleasant reality of an exhumation.
Digging up a body is never welcome.
That's enough unpleasantries.
We just wanted to come over and thank you for the lovely afghan.
I nap under it during my transfusions.
I can't take this anymore! JJ, why don't we just take Cara Lynn and go back home to Kansas? Can't we just leave them alone? Don't flag.
You are my goodwill ambassadress.
I need you.
Let's get you back to the house.
I want to change out your I.
V.
And put in a new PICC line.
We'll do another biopsy.
I tried re-booking, Lee, but they say he's got nothing for three weeks.
I don't even think he read my materials, gad darn it.
Sorry, ma'am.
He has this fundraiser tomorrow night.
I'm trying to snag a ticket, but no one's minding the store.
Hang on.
Excuse me, miss? I'll call you back.
Don't want to tell you your job, but we've been waiting almost 20 minutes.
Oh, I'm sorry you've been kept waiting.
It is lunch hour.
My name's Bill Henrickson.
I'm in town from Utah.
I need to see someone about getting an invitation to the Paley benefit.
Can you put me in touch with your boss? Well, I think I can probably help you with that, sir.
A couple of the girls and me are having a contest to see who can sell the most tickets.
So far, I'm winning.
- So you have availability? - Well, let me check.
- Do you want a table or a single ticket? - Single.
Flying solo on this one.
We do have some tickets available on the executive level.
- How much is that? - Twenty-five thousand.
Good night! What kind of crooks are running this town? It's a fundraiser.
- What's the next level down? - The legislative level.
I shudder to ask how much.
Five thousand.
Unbelievable.
And finally there's the judicial level, a thousand.
Fine, okay.
I'll take one of those.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
That level is sold out.
Oh, too bad.
So is the legislative.
Now wait a minute.
Maybe I should talk to your boss.
He's out of town.
Well, if there's nothing else, I really should get back to my typing.
- Now, hold on - Catherine, hello! - I didn't see you there.
- Take your time.
We're done.
I hope you enjoy your visit to the Capitol.
Thank you, ma'am.
So why am I the one leading these sensitivity training seminars? Well, I have a masters in social work and I grew up in the Mormon culture.
But more than that, I have a passion for bridging the differences between our two worlds.
And the better this casino serves its intended audience the more it will prosper for you.
There's always more tickets.
The point is to raise money.
- You have money, they take it.
- She was a piece of work.
Uncooperative, rude, some kind of man-hater.
Sounds to me like you just pissed her off.
Go back and ask for Marilyn.
Marilyn Densham.
- Densham is a Marilyn? - Yeah.
What does she look like, Lee? Strawberry blonde.
About this high.
I gotta get back to the office.
Call me later.
This wasn't supposed to be a family trip at all, was it? Honey, Bill is just under a lot of pressure to make this trip work out.
We have to do whatever we can to help him, okay? Is that why you wanted me to wear these clothes? - I want you to look pretty.
- Well, I don't feel pretty.
I feel naked.
You have to dress a way that makes you worthy of love, a man's complete love.
Do you have any hobbies? No.
Wow, look at you.
I got the two prettiest girls in town.
She feels very self-conscious.
She got mad at me when I tried to undo her hair.
Little by little.
For tonight, I had reservations.
But I was thinking you and I could stay in and order up a couple of steaks.
- But - Take her to the restaurant downstairs.
Then just set her up with a movie in her room.
We'll get to have our special night together after all.
I'd like that.
And we have a great afternoon planned.
Honey, I can't.
Seems I ticked off the wrong person.
I gotta go get a ticket to this event right away.
Bill, you're not staying with us? Honey, you'll be fine.
All right.
You go do whatever you gotta do and we'll just take a taxi.
Oh, honey, don't take a taxi.
It's so expensive.
Here.
Use my metro card for the subway.
Subway? At night? It's 2:00 in the afternoon.
You'll be back before dark.
It's perfectly safe.
The Mormon culture is very self-reliant so when she implied that you were a welfare cheat that's where she would have been coming from.
Still, how did that make you feel? - Not good.
- How not good? It hurt my feelings.
Good, Dolores.
And did she have a right to say that? - No.
- No, of course she didn't.
And what would you want to say back to her? - You hurt my feelings.
- Good.
But it's so important, everyone, that we really get beneath the surface.
And if you could say anything you want back to her, Dolores, what would that be? It's all right.
Fuck you.
Is that really what you want to say, Dolores, or do you think that's the anger speaking? No.
Fuck you, white bitch.
We have this piece-of-shit land.
Get the fuck off it! Get out! Your religion's a cult and you're a bunch of hypocrites anyway! Forgive me for barging in.
Clearly we got off on the wrong foot.
Clearly.
I made assumptions about you that were wrong.
Maybe you made assumptions about me.
Maybe I did.
- You're Marilyn Densham, aren't you? - I am.
Well, you gotta admit you played me pretty good.
Yes, I did.
I did play you.
You thought I was a secretary and I'm not.
Oh, it's just the kind of crazy high jinks I enjoy.
Sometimes I tell people I'm a nurse.
I'd sure like a ticket to the benefit.
What was your name again? Bill Henrickson.
Pleased to meet you.
You know, you really don't have to butter me up either.
- It's called courtesy.
- Oh, is that what it is? - Oh, come on.
- Thank you.
I made an honest mistake and now you're holding it against me.
This isn't because I'm from Utah? Are you accusing me of being a bigot? - No, I was just asking - You think I have it in for you because I'm some kind of Christian Mormon hater? Look, I really need to talk to Congressman Paley.
I'm running for office in Utah and I need his endorsement.
- What do I have to do? - Nothing.
- I just realized I don't like you.
- Why? Because you rub me the wrong way.
And I don't want to sell you a ticket.
Fine.
Let me talk to Kahill.
Kahill died 11 years ago.
Look, this is my event, and if we're talking about $ 1000 I'd just as soon not have you there.
Lady, at this point I wouldn't give you $ 1000 if you were Nancy Reagan herself.
Good.
Good.
Now hit "enlarge.
" Good.
Good.
And then "output.
" Right.
And then get the papers.
And then sit on the floor and collate them.
So what? You thought we could just have sex and then run off? Again? Okay.
I don't know what made me go to the park that day.
I haven't been there in years.
I knew what was gonna happen.
I'm not blaming you.
But I can't keep doing this.
It's sinful, and given my position, it's unethical.
Are you all right? Being gay is not the sin, you know.
I am not a gay.
Our heavenly father forgives us that.
It's acting on those impulses that's wrong.
Homosexuality is a sin.
We were just fooling around.
I like fooling around.
No! I'm trying to be right with my father in heaven.
I have a wife.
I have three boys.
Yet I struggle with these unbearable urges.
I have urges too.
I can still taste you on my lips.
Papa? Hello.
Thank you, Thomas.
- What did you tell him, Wanda? - Nothing.
- Did you tell him? - No! I swear! This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you! - Why's he doing this? - Gonna hurt your fist or break the wall! - No one gives you a chance.
- We don't need a chance.
- We just need each other.
- You don't understand.
You don't get it.
Who cares, Joey? Who cares? Let them dig him up! Why does that matter? Tell me.
He scratched me, Wanda.
Roman scratched my face.
Baby he's got me on him.
We're all being pulled in so many directions.
Margene with her business, Nicki with Cara Lynn your father with his campaign.
Did you ever see yourself managing a casino? No.
But here I am, trying to hold it down for the family.
I think you like it a little.
Do you know, I do like it.
Look out! Honey, are you all right? Hey, wait! Wait, wait, wait! Hey, we're sorry.
We're sorry.
Are you okay? We're sorry.
We're sorry.
Are you okay? Well, Mr.
Bones, how are you this evening? Me? Why, I'm the personification of health, Mr.
Christie! Good.
Who was that lady I saw you with this afternoon? That was no lady.
That was my wife.
Thanks for all your help.
I like all different sorts of work.
This is easy.
I usually work outside.
I never got a chance to tell you, Jodean.
I'm really sorry about your sister's passing.
She was all I had, really.
She cared for me.
I think this is a dark time in my life.
But I have faith that heavenly father has a plan, that I'll see Kathy again.
You know, I never had anybody in my life who really loved me until this family.
We must be grateful for whatever support we can find in one another.
Would you like to come with me tomorrow? My guest? It would be really nice for me if you wanted to come.
Really? Where's my daughter? JJ, she's with Nicki.
No, no one's there.
You tell Nicki I am not putting up with this anymore.
You tell me where she is! This is between you and Nicki.
Leave me out Nicki was supposed to drop Cara Lynn off to me.
And I'm not going anywhere without her.
- I don't know where she is.
- Where's Bill? I want to talk to a man! He's not here.
You're here alone? Get the kids upstairs.
- I want you to leave my house.
- I want my daughter now! - Get out! Mother doesn't love you! - Hey! Leave them alone.
She's in Washington with my father and Nicki.
No.
What the H is she doing there without my permission? Seeing the sights.
Take it up with Nicki when she gets back, but leave right now.
That was a mistake.
The fundraiser's out.
That's for sure.
- She sounds awful.
- She is.
She's keeping me from getting that endorsement.
But I'm not about to let Marilyn Densham spoil our night.
I picked it out myself, downtown.
Today? In the middle of everything? I hope you like it.
You hate it? No, Bill.
But there's no bottoms.
Is this how you see me? I want this to be a special night for us.
We've got to start somewhere.
It's so You're right.
I'll take it back.
No.
No.
It's Margie.
It might be about Wayne or Raymond.
Margie, thank goodness you called.
I think we're making progress.
I'm definitely feeling something.
But I think Bill expects me to be something I'm not.
- Are you demented? - No.
You should just see the shorty negligee he just got me.
- There's no bottoms.
- Nicki, shut up! JJ just home-invaded us! - What? - He was looking for Cara Lynn.
And apparently you forgot to tell him where she was! That's a lie.
He knew.
He was told.
Is he still there? No, but he could come back.
I want to talk to Bill! - Now is not a good time.
- You put him on the phone.
I want him to come home right now, Nicki! Nicki? Nicki?! Hey, Margene.
Will you stay with me tonight, on the sofa? Of course I will.
Why don't we order some desserts? Hello? JJ? Yes, we are.
No, I did not know Nicki didn't tell you.
You tell him I'm showing her the world.
How would you feel if I kidnapped one of your children? Take it easy.
Calm down.
No one's kidnapped anyone.
- Let's just try and be reasonable.
- Want me to be reasonable? Then you listen to me for a change.
You return my daughter to Juniper Creek! I told him, Bill.
I am not crazy.
I swear I told him.
It worked.
They're doing exactly what you said they would.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Is she all right? She's fine.
Come over here.
I need to talk to you.
What's going on? The sooner you leave the reservation, the better.
- But l - No.
Listen to me.
With all your talk about cultural sensitivity you're not very sensitive to the situation here.
No, I'm just trying to make this right.
You're tolerated at the casino, barely.
If people hear you hit an Indian woman there'll be big problems for you and the casino.
No, it was an accident.
I'm trying to protect you both.
I suggest that you and your assistant leave now.
Trust me for a change.
Hey, what's happening? I don't know, but Tommy says she's fine.
Let's go.
No, we're not leaving her.
We can't do that.
Sarah, we should leave here now.
I brought you a Danish and some juice.
Careful! These are my talking points for Paley.
- You got the meeting? - Just about.
I know where he's gonna be.
I called Lee and got the congressman's schedule faxed to the hotel.
- Paley's taking a meeting in a coffee shop.
- He drinks coffee? Apparently while he's away from Utah.
Oh, boy.
Bill, I'm sorry about last night.
But we still have tonight.
I'll make it up to you.
I will.
I'll call you later.
Oh, boy, almost forgot.
Hey, good morning, sleepyhead.
You and your mom have a great day.
- What happened to your other clothes? - I don't want to wear them.
You don't want to go out looking like that, do you? - I don't really want to go out.
- We can't just stay here in the hotel.
I mean, there's so many things that we could do.
We could go to the science museum or we could go to Iwo Jima.
I don't want to go to Iwo Jima! - Well, where would you like to go? - I want to go to the airport and get brochures for Italy.
I want to go to Italy someday.
Well, you'd have to get permission from your father to go to Italy.
Why did you tell me you asked for permission to come? Because I knew he wouldn't let me and I really wanted to be here with you.
- I know that it's wrong to lie.
- It is.
And it almost never works.
Can we go to a parking lot or an empty field? I want to look up and just see sky like in Kansas.
Whatever you want.
And then the White House? All right.
White House it is.
And we'll be just fine.
I checked it in separately.
So, what's going on in Kansas? And why's it so secret? It's the new satellite compound.
It's our new Zion.
Do the people know they've spent over 100 million on it? Let's not talk about that.
We could do this together, you know.
- What are you saying? - The compound.
We could collaborate.
You could be remembered as the great reformer.
You could separate yourself from your father.
It's true, my father was a scoundrel.
What happened here? I fell, walking the dog.
No one could ever know that we'd be working together, if we were.
The state is too hated.
I can't imagine what it's like for you.
I mean, you're the son of Roman Grant.
I feel like I'm trapped behind a wall.
And I want to break it to get to the other side where all the people are.
This burden it's only for a lifetime.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Same-gender attraction doesn't exist in our pre-Earth life and it doesn't exist in the celestial kingdom.
We are not stuck with this forever only for now.
I didn't know that.
What on earth are you doing? Son, you don't honestly think it's this simple? Try as you might to ignore me, you know the truth.
You're a filthy, unrepentant sodomite.
And this poof? Do you think there's something here? You should do your wives and your poor mother and family a favor and jump out the window and hope you break your neck.
Really, Albert.
Oh, no, no.
Congressman! Congressman Paley! Bill Henrickson from Utah! Congressman! Congressman! Congressman! Congressman! Did you get my materials? Bill Henrickson from Utah! I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I feel really awful.
And I want to do something.
I'll do anything to help you out.
What am I supposed to do with a busted leg? I need to make some money.
Oh, l I brought you this.
Thanks.
Look, I don't know your situation really, Leila.
But my mom works at the casino and she could get you a job if you want.
That'll be the day.
They won't hire me there.
No, I mean, she's a little bit in charge so I think that would make a difference.
Hi.
Sarah? This is Leila, Mom.
Hello, Leila.
I'm Barb.
I'm so glad to see you feeling better.
Thanks.
I feel like crap.
What are you doing here? I told you Tommy didn't want us talking What are you doing here? I just came here to see how she was.
Well, me too.
She needs a job.
Can you give her one? - Sarah? - What? Maybe Tommy was right.
We should mind our own business.
But isn't it our business now? We are not in the know about the way things are done here.
If we don't help her out, who else will, really? - Hi, Bill.
- You made it.
Wouldn't have missed it for the world.
- How'd it go? - Oh, pretty good.
- Did you get the endorsement? - It's this close.
Just gotta go back tonight, give him the hard pitch.
I'm going to the fundraiser after all.
- Weren't you shut out? - That worked itself out.
It's all good now.
I just gotta get back to the hotel and change and clean up.
- What's wrong? - Well we had two days to be normal.
I messed up last night.
Now tonight's gone.
I just thought we'd have more time for once to be a mini-family in public.
I want that more than anyone.
Soon as I get Paley on our team, we're not talking about two days.
Talking about a lifetime of being who we are in public.
And nothing's gonna stop us from that goal.
I'm sorry.
She was alone.
She needed me.
I could drive home right after.
I wasn't thinking clearly.
I'll leave right away.
What is it? That was Frank.
I can't go tonight.
I have to go home.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'll get my coat.
Margie, sit and have some lunch.
You know what? I'm not so hungry.
Maybe I could find a way to reschedule my show.
Ben, no.
You can't do that.
No, I'll be fine.
Thanks.
I want to run this by you, but I'm not asking your permission.
I want to give that girl Leila a job.
I want to put her on the payroll in whatever capacity you see fit.
- And you've spoken to her about this? - I have.
You just refuse to listen to anyone else, don't you? No, what I refuse to do is to be left in the dark and it seems to me that's what's going on.
I am invested in this casino.
My family's livelihood depends on it.
Leila Stillwater's a meth head.
She's been arrested three times for possession.
Okay? She's one of the mules that bring it in from Canada.
You really think that she'd be good working behind the ice cream bar? Clearly I didn't know.
You don't know anything.
In the last five years, meth has swept the reservation.
It comes to a place where people have nothing.
This casino and its jobs are one way we're fighting back.
It's not something we want publicized and it doesn't exactly help sell a Mormon-friendly environment.
I honestly had no idea.
How could you? You live in the fantasy bubble of the casino.
Barb? My father's got tribal leaders coming into his office and just crying.
We have treatment and prevention programs.
We banish traffickers and we burn down houses that are used to sell drugs.
And we do our best to keep it separate from the casino.
Henrickson, Bill.
I know.
I looked.
She said this might happen.
I can't let you in, sir.
It's okay.
I spoke to Marilyn this afternoon.
Well, she didn't text or call.
It was too late to make the official list, so she said, "Come anyway and head on in.
" I'm sorry, sir.
I'd have to confirm that with her first.
Should I send for Miss Densham? It's okay.
Don't bother.
Dear heavenly father, I tested your calling and now you're testing me.
But if this is what your plan is for me, you gotta help me out.
Why, hello there.
How has your trip been? He took a terrible spill in the backyard.
But you're a much livelier escort than Artie anyway.
Joe, my first husband, he absolutely loved going out.
Catherine, I see we have a mutual friend.
And we have you to thank for that.
We met in your lobby while you kept us waiting.
That's very funny.
Do you mind if I steal him away for a minute? Excuse me.
Bravo.
You got in.
Do you really think bulldozing your way in here is gonna win you points with the congressman? You're out of your league.
I think you're making a habit out of underestimating me.
I don't think so.
Well, you didn't waste your money, but you're certainly wasting your time.
Politics is about relationships and you're not gonna build one in five minutes' face time.
- Maybe in 10.
- I doubt that.
Nicki.
What are you doing here? - You forgot your index cards.
- Those were for practice.
- Who was that woman you were talking to? - Nobody.
Just wait for me downstairs.
This is my now-or-never moment.
Excuse me, could you tell me how these dispensers work? Oh, they're hit or miss for me too.
- I saw you talking to Bill Henrickson.
- Who? The man you were talking to, Bill Henrickson, Utah.
Oh, yeah, Bill.
He's kind of a jerk, isn't he? He's full of himself, but he's pretty successful too.
In what? He was named one of Utah's top 10 small-business owners in Life in the Valley magazine.
- That's nice.
Everyone back home knows him.
He's done charitable work with teen runaways in Salt Lake City.
He just opened an Indian gaming casino.
You sound like his press agent.
I give up.
I work for him.
Daphne Curtis.
Marilyn Densham.
I hope you're having a lovely time tonight.
The census comes up next year, then re-districting in the legislature.
Unless you think about retiring, you need someone to protect your district.
- I've got my guy there.
- Colburn? Colburn's volatile, a double dealer.
He's a showboater and you can't count on him.
You want someone who will cover your back.
That's me.
All I ask for is your public endorsement.
You're an important constituent, Bill, no question, but we've just met.
- Clark.
- Hey, Marilyn.
I was hoping you two would connect.
- Oh, you know Bill? - Oh, yeah.
We've had a couple of good visits.
He's smart, Clark, and loyal and extremely tenacious.
You're gonna want to listen to him.
Well, here's what I'll do: I'll stay out of it.
I won't endorse anyone.
- I need more than that.
- That's what I can do, Bill.
How about this? Give me a campaign donation a named donation I can put on my materials.
Let people interpret it.
They see it as an endorsement, terrific.
If not, you're just a contributor.
No harm, no foul.
You buy into a long shot, you get a stake at legitimacy.
- Five hundred dollars under my name.
- Make it 1000.
Somehow that seems more appropriate.
You're pushing your luck, Bill.
That's what I do, Clark.
Come on.
You scared me.
I thought You said five minutes.
- I had to help Bill.
- You left me sitting like a pathetic freak.
That is not true.
Don't call yourself that.
I don't fit in! I don't know how to fit in.
Listen to me.
You are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
Then why did you abandon me? - I did not.
- Yes, you did.
You left and you never came back.
I didn't hear anything from you.
Not once in 12 years! - Don't That was never my intention.
- You didn't call me.
You didn't visit me.
You didn't do anything to show me that you cared.
I made the worst decision of my life, but I know what I want now.
I want you.
No, what you want is to turn me into you.
That is not true.
I'm trying to do everything that I can so you won't become like me.
I don't want you to be afraid of yourself, to be afraid of the world.
Come back.
I'm your mother.
I have seven mothers.
You are not one of them.
- Come back here! - Help me, please! She's got a gun in her purse! I have a permit.
Gosh! It's not loaded.
Look.
Ma'am, put the gun down.
Put it down! Thanks for the assist but what changed your mind? Would you believe I felt badly about taking advantage of you? No.
Good, because I didn't.
The truth is I didn't realize what a big shot you were back in Utah.
And I like big shots.
I'm gonna be out your way soon.
Maybe I'll look you up and you can explain to me what the hell I have to do to get a drink in that town.
You got the wrong guy.
What the H? Hold on there.
That's my wife.
Are you aware that your wife's carrying a gun? It was for protection.
Look, I'm not a criminal.
I filled out the permits and brought it.
I'm so sorry.
Gentlemen I think I can explain.
Guess who's back.
Teenie's home.
Oh, it's so great to see her.
All right, say hi.
- Hi, Sarah.
- Hi, rathead.
- Hey, how was camp? - Great.
Sarah, I'm so sorry you weren't able to get married in the temple.
That's okay.
Hey, listen, Margie's on in 20 minutes.
Yeah, I was trying to get to the studio and I just ran out of time.
Yeah, I'm calling in instead to order a bracelet.
That's a great idea.
Listen, about the incident it's over.
It's complicated up there.
Sometimes you just have to walk away.
Yeah, okay.
All right, I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
Bye.
Here you go.
I can take him.
Hi.
Hi, buddy.
Hi, buddy.
Hi.
He looks so tired.
He looks so sleepy.
Put him to bed soon.
Hey, hey, it's all right.
I talked to her.
She's got a good head on her shoulders.
No, I ruined the trip.
No, no, you didn't.
I shouldn't have brought her.
I just want her to have choices.
I don't want her life to end up like mine.
She's gonna have a good life, Nicki.
You have a good life.
No.
I want her to have more.
Nick, I know it's been a long and rocky road but you gotta believe this is just part of our journey.
It might not be what you imagine.
Maybe Maybe you've begun to imagine more.
It's okay.
We can get there.
We love each other.
