Big Love (2006) s04e08 Episode Script

I'm so glad to be back.
I just want everything to be normal.
Wait, you were held in an ostrich pen? Yeah, it was so intense, Sarah.
Then Uncle Joey confessed he killed Roman.
- What? - Dad hasn't had the chance to tell Nicki.
If it's about Margene, I know.
- What? - She got married.
To Ana's fiance.
- And Mom tried to stop her.
- But Dad doesn't know yet.
Sorry, Ben.
- Dinner! - All hands better be washed.
Wayne, turn off your dad's song.
- I like your new jingle, Dad.
- Well, thanks, Ben.
- You know, it is catchy.
- Very catchy.
You're very creative, Bill.
I've been clipping articles, helping Daddy prepare for his debate tomorrow.
Dad, why can't we come watch? Because that's what Mrs.
Usher and I decided.
Oh, my.
You look great, Mom.
Nicki? Nicki, wow.
- "Nicki, wow" what? - No, no, just wow.
What, Barb? Don't you wanna put your 2 cents in? No.
I'm good.
Why can't I dress like you two if I want to? It's just a change.
You weren't dressed like that this morning.
Well, I went shopping this afternoon.
Sarah, how did you and Scott like Portland? I don't see what the big deal is! Don't I have the right to be normal? Portland? Fantastic.
We had a great time.
In fact, so great that we've decided to move there.
We didn't plan it.
We were just walking around.
We saw an apartment, fell in love with it and put a deposit down before we left.
But, Sarah, honey, do either of you have a job set up? Actually, it wasn't a belated honeymoon.
We went because Scott had a job interview.
- What kind of job? - What about you? What about my birthday? We're not gonna leave before your birthday party.
I promise you.
When exactly are you planning on leaving? Soon.
Before the election? Because of the apartment.
- And Scott might have a job.
- But he doesn't have it yet.
Pass the potatoes, please.
We always knew this day would come.
This is more than that and you know it.
You know she could've given us a heads up, but she's been sitting on it.
Well, I didn't tell you everything either about what's going on with the casino.
What, more bomb scares? - Kind of.
- Just tell me.
The bomb scares and protests and leaflets Marilyn Densham is behind it all.
- What are you saying? - She's in bed with the evangelicals and the Families for a Responsible America and Ron Reed.
She hired his organization to attack us.
She hired him? You can prove this? Yes, pretty much.
She creates the problem, then gets herself hired as the solution.
She hosted a junket with Ron Reed for Congressman Paley in Scotland.
- How do you know Paley's involved? - I don't for sure.
But I know he was with them for five days in Scotland.
This is unbelievable.
A giant scam to deceive us.
Yes, and it worked.
I hired her, Bill.
- Barb.
- I'm sorry.
I fell for it.
The evangelicals were mobilizing against us.
I thought we needed her.
We're in the home stretch of the campaign and you dump this in my lap? We're barely up by five points.
A woman who gets calls returned by the White House and the poster boy of the evangelical right now have their hands around our casino? - Yes.
- You're fired.
- What? Oh, you're done at the casino.
You completely screwed up.
Wait, Bill.
I made a mistake.
Excuse me.
You defied me.
Great.
And I still have to go tell Nicki that my brother killed her father.
Nicki, are you in there, hon? I'll be out in a sec.
Honey, I've got something important to talk about.
I'm not going to stop changing just because people can't deal with it.
I'm going forwards, not backwards.
Remember this? Of course I do.
What did you want to do to me in it? Lots.
Don't you like it? Sweetheart, I love it.
But maybe this isn't the right time.
We need to have a talk.
Come on, have a seat.
Nick, I understand.
I do.
You're sorting through a lot.
I had my own separation struggle from Juniper Creek.
I just want to be the woman you want me to be.
That's all.
You already are.
No.
No, you don't understand.
I'm having difficulty, Bill conceiving.
I didn't know how to tell you.
- Honey? - But I'm trying really, really hard.
And I'm praying to conceive.
- Do you believe me? - Yes, of course I do.
I'm seeing a new specialist and he's supposed to be the best.
He's been very encouraging.
I have faith in him.
Hey, whatever it is, we'll get through it.
It's all right.
It's gonna be all right.
I want to thank you all for coming out.
I'm here, obviously, on Bill's behalf.
You know, there's something unique about Utah women.
We never stop serving our faith our husbands, our children and our communities.
We do it all, don't we? And we expect ourselves to do it perfectly.
We're not always comfortable with admitting that we're overwhelmed.
But maybe it's okay to not feel like we have to be perfect all the time.
It's all right to make a mistake once in a while.
I mean, maybe we'd be better off admitting we are not Superwoman instead of running to our medicine cabinets for our sedatives and our antidepressants.
Barbie.
Well, we all know what I'm talking about.
We turn to our Prozac and our Xanax and our Benadryl.
We've all been there, right? - I spoke to brother Caleb about it.
- Okay, good.
How many more rounds of shots before I can conceive? A bit of patience wouldn't hurt.
I know.
It's just so hard to hold onto the hope when you want it so badly.
The first shots were to mimic a surge in luteinizing hormone to cause a maturing of the eggs and the release to the ovaries.
This is progesterone.
It's gonna prepare the lining of your uterus to receive the embryo.
That horrible troll Toby needs to be punished.
- It's all right, darling.
- No, it's not all right, JJ.
Running around besmirching you, claiming that Roman was trying to reprimand you.
- It's not true, dear.
- I know it's not true.
I would've known if it was true, because I knew everything.
And why would he have wanted to censure you, anyway? Just drop it.
Hello, Nicolette.
Hi, Mama.
What are you doing here? I was just dropping my wife off for her checkup.
So how are your treatments going? What was your diagnosis? Well, we found out I have high blood pressure.
Put her on Lipitor.
I can manage her prescriptions myself.
- Please, calm down.
Please, don't overreact.
- Why not? When you've had a chance to think it through and see that this was the only way to keep your baby in the country you'll understand what I did was drastic, yes, but effective.
- It's preposterous! - It's not ideal.
I come back from Mexico to find out my wife's married some Igor? - I did it for our family.
- You keep saying that.
But it seems to me this lunatic idea to nab a new husband was made by someone desperate not to be identified as a polygamist so she could save her business reputation.
That's not true! Just stop! What is the big deal? Everyone is hysterical, like it's the end of the world.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing? It is a paper marriage.
It is not real.
Margie, don't you get it? You've gone and legally married another man.
That's real.
For you to say a marriage certificate means I'm more married to Goran than you is to say you're more married to Barb than to me.
- Don't even try.
- I won't let this be a big deal.
I love you.
I am married to you and only you.
This is just temporary.
You bet it is.
You're either part of this campaign, this family, or you're not.
We're done talking.
I've gotta go clean up Barb's mess now.
- What are you doing here? - I thought about it.
- I'm going to the meeting.
- No, you're not, Barb.
Oh, I am not gonna let you fire me for one mistake.
And even if you did fire me, I happen to be on the board of directors so I have the authority to rehire me.
- Sorry we're late.
- Sorry we're late.
Good, you made it.
Have a seat.
I wanted you all here in the same room so we could settle our differences.
I'm sorry, but I gotta step out.
A little problem with the cashier.
- Quite the revolving door around here.
- Sorry about that.
For those of you who don't know, this is Mr.
Ron Reed president of the FRA, Families for a Responsible America.
- Marilyn Densham, our lobbyist.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- I've heard a lot about you.
- Nice to meet you.
I'd like to think I can lead us in a productive mediation.
- Shall we begin? - Sure.
Now that we're all here, why don't we drop the pretense? - Sorry? - You know each other.
You're in cahoots.
You're both running a dog-and-pony show, trying to shake us down.
Barb, what on earth is he talking about? You're not dealing with her.
You're dealing with me now.
Not as long as you're ranting around like a caveman.
Jerry, this is your tribe.
We agreed we're gonna sort this out calmly, solve our problems without escalating Solve what? I don't know what he's talking about.
Do you or do you not deny knowing each other? We may have attended some of the same events.
I don't know.
Like your junket last week to Scotland? What of it? I like bagpipes.
What about you? You like bagpipes too? - I'm not sure what you think - Let me tell you what I think.
I think you get him to create problems at our casino then extort us to hire you to fix them.
- Really? Is that what I do? I think you filled Congressman Paley's coffers so he'll support legislation that this guy's fanatics lobby for.
- You're running for office.
And I could knock you down like a bowling pin.
You think so? Well, try this on for size.
You've both been caught red-handed.
You're about to become more toxic than a nuclear dump.
Oh, come on.
You're out of your mind.
Well, yes, maybe I am, unless you want to stand trial for planting a bomb.
I did not plant any bomb! And if you repeat that I will sue you to kingdom come.
No State Senate wannabe and some made-up little tribe are gonna frame me.
You're fired.
No, I quit.
Fine, but let's be clear.
If there is a single protester out front tomorrow so much as a leaflet in any car window I will expose you and end your public careers.
Now get out of my sight.
Katie, get my laptop and all my papers and let's get the hell out of this fucking pup tent.
That was a little close for comfort.
We got it back into her office just in time.
It'll take us a day or so to see if we get anything.
Mr.
Grant, the Attorney General's Office is determined to get to the bottom of the events surrounding the death of Mr.
Tomasson.
Now, his body was found in an apartment on West Sycamore Drive.
Do you have any knowledge of that apartment? No, sir.
I do not.
Well, the apartment was rented with UEB funds.
As you know, our access to our funds was frozen by the appointment of the trustee.
Except for your operations account.
I know nothing about the rental of any apartment.
The only other person with access to those funds was the trustee himself.
Just so.
Are you implying that Mr.
Tomasson rented the apartment himself? I am saying that I didn't.
Why would he have embezzled moneys for an apartment? I don't know.
Mr.
Grant, why does your demeanor suggest that you do? And that's the latest salvo in the surprisingly tight District 8 Senate race that's become a major spending war between councilwoman Leslie Newton Usher and businessman Bill Henrickson.
The second of their three debates is tomorrow and KSL will be Hey, Pam.
Is something wrong with the sign? I have another one in the house.
Some of us struggle mightily with our need for prescribed medications and I don't appreciate ignorant comments that belittle us.
Hi.
Where's Mom? She's still at work.
It's for Teenie's birthday.
I gotta hide it in the pantry.
Why are you leaving, really? Because Scott got a great job.
I told you that.
It's not about a job.
You're bailing on the vision of this family.
You're running away.
Okay, maybe I am.
Because you're running for office and I don't wanna be a part of what happens next.
I don't wanna be on that train.
Fine.
I just wanted to be clear on that.
Cheer up.
Last week's cash reports look good.
Tommy, I just wanna apologize to you for this whole mess with Marilyn.
It's not just your fault.
My father and I voted for her too.
Yes, but you acted out of good intentions.
I'm not sure I did.
I was angry at my husband and I lashed out by hiring her.
And I'm ashamed of what's happened because of it.
Barb you've done a really good job here.
Don't beat yourself up.
But if I put the casino, the reservation at risk because of my wounded pride Thank you.
This marriage has to be annulled.
I am sorry it happened while you were far away.
But we had to act fast because of Goran's immigration problems.
Of course I wish I'd been told beforehand as I wish I'd been told you had a fiance when you asked me for money.
For child support, which you offered.
You wanted a baby.
I thought this would make you happy.
- Our baby is a separate matter.
- We were going to be deported.
Just try and see things from my point of view.
Once I'm elected, I'll have a certain influence.
I can probably make Goran's immigration problems go away.
Doggone it! Margene is my wife.
I can't share her with you and Goran.
- Why not? - Because it's unnatural, that's why.
A man has to know his woman is his.
It's just the way it is.
Are you aware of what you're saying? Of course I am.
A woman cannot have two husbands.
- It's just wrong.
- How can you say that? I'm not a hypocrite.
I explained our religion to you.
I told you all about it.
I think you're crazy.
You're crazy.
Honey, we asked you to join us at our wives meeting now that you yourself are a wife.
We thought it might be fun for you to see how we do things.
Okay.
We go over tasks and responsibilities and pressing family matters.
- What are we discussing today? We thought we would discuss you.
- And Scott.
- And Portland.
This is not a meeting.
I'm not going through this again.
Sit! We are worried is all.
You just got married.
Suddenly you're moving away, no talk of college.
- You're gonna be all alone without family.
- I'll be with Scott.
You have been through so many emotional rough patches.
Running over that Indian, then taking her baby.
That's not exactly how it happened, Nicki.
Honey, what do you really know about this Portland place? I mean, I looked it up.
There's heroin everywhere.
Look.
I love you and it is really scary moving to Portland.
I don't have any friends.
I don't know anybody.
I don't have a job.
But that is what I'm gonna do, because I have to.
And I thought that you'd all understand because none of you want to go public either.
Come on, Mom.
You've been resenting Dad's campaign more and more every single day.
And you married Goran just to avoid exposure.
And you you're onboard, and I don't even know what's going on with you.
I'm onboard because I love Bill! It's true.
I love Bill.
One further point on the issue of bike lanes.
I think that every company that makes bikes should produce a video that will instruct the cyclists exactly what the rules of the road are.
Thank you, Mr.
Henrickson.
Moving on.
Lately, many people feel that it's become open season on family values.
Explain how family will influence your tenure if elected.
Mr.
Henrickson.
There's nothing more important than family.
It, along with faith, is the foundation for every choice I make.
Fringe groups can attack us all they want, but in the end, we're not easily fooled.
You know, Bill, it's one thing when the attacks come from the outside but at a recent Eagle Forum event, your wife, Barbara characterized Utahan women as so many weak-minded drug addicts.
Now, I don't wanna make this personal, but I couldn't disagree more.
My wife would never say such a thing.
I'm sure it was something taken out of context.
No, unfortunately, she did say it.
Now, maybe it's because she doesn't spend that much time in Utah.
I mean, I believe that she works out of state running the Indian gambling palace that you own.
Now hold on.
That gaming center provides jobs and opportunities where neither existed.
Yes, but our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, our women are the true treasures of this great state.
We devote our lives to the creation of strong families.
- Careful.
- Tell me exactly what you said about Utah women being drug addicts.
I never called anyone an addict.
- You said something at Eagle Forum.
- Well, I don't remember exactly what I said.
Try.
I made an off-the-cuff comment about Utah women overusing prescription medications.
It's a proven fact.
You can't say that.
You've gotta retract it.
- Usher's making a big stink about it.
- Good.
It ought to be addressed.
We are asked to be perfect and it is an impossible standard to meet.
No wonder we dip into the medicine chest.
There are many things that are true, Barbara that we don't go saying in public for a variety of reasons.
I know you feel guilty about hiring Marilyn, but please, don't dig your heels in over this.
I made a statement and I stand by it.
And I don't need a lecture about my motives.
Fine.
I've arranged an interview for us tomorrow at KCTW.
We'll address it there.
I don't think this is a good time for an interview.
I need to play offense in this campaign.
- I want the whole family there.
- Oh, the whole family? - Sarah? - Sarah made her choice.
And you've been freezing her out because of it.
And you and this campaign are what drove her away.
I can't wait for this to be over and done.
Hello.
Hello, Marilyn.
What are you doing at VSN? Well, I was in the neighborhood and I remembered you worked here.
So this is Shopping TV.
This is it.
Just this.
So you were in the neighborhood? Honestly, Congressman Paley sent me to extend his regards to you.
He had such a wonderful time at the casino.
I think he's looking for a second date.
I didn't want to give him your number without asking first.
Unless you're attached, of course.
Yes, I am, actually.
Oh, that's right.
Bill Henrickson.
I saw you two up at the casino this morning.
No, not Bill.
You misunderstood.
Bill is an investor in my business.
That's all.
Didn't you two just meet at the convention? That was before.
Then, I mean.
Well, how lucky for you.
Well, I will let Paley know that you are not available.
Lovely to see you, Margene.
Come on, Teenie.
Get the lead out, please.
The rate you're going, I'll never be packed.
I don't want you to leave me here.
I know it's hard, but you'll be fine.
I don't wanna be a public polygamist either.
- Teenie! - Guys! I went to LDS camp to fit in and I did.
And finally I'm popular.
And I'm not giving that up.
Dad is doing what's best for us.
Ben, after everything that has happened to you when are you gonna stop defending him? When are you gonna see Dad for what he is? I have.
He saved me in Mexico.
I saw him willing to die for me.
He would do the same thing for you.
You're the one who needs to stop looking at him like you did when you were 13.
Come on, Teenie, we gotta get home.
Sarah, the campaign and the UEB trusteeship have Dad so stressed out.
And he's too proud to ask you to be there with us at that interview.
But I'm not.
He needs you.
- Good to have you back, Bill.
- Good to see you, Roger.
Winston, I know the investigation into Dale's death has been hard on everyone.
I appreciate you staying on with me.
You're the point person for the Kansas ranch.
- How's the audit going? - It's tough.
Books and records have been subpoenaed.
There's constant stonewalling.
Well, that figures.
They've been stonewalling forever.
But now that I'm in charge, it's gonna stop.
I want you to go there in person.
Can you free up the next few days? - I'd love to knock some heads together.
- Good.
I've arranged a contact for you at the Sedgwick County Sheriff Department to get you on and off the ranch.
I need you to get the scuttlebutt on what they've got.
New investigations, possible indictments, sealed, unsealed, hearsay, rumor.
I don't care.
Something's up.
I'm in the middle of a campaign and I don't want any surprises.
- Okay, keep in touch.
- Okay.
To our strong, growing family.
To the generations past, the absent ones yet to return.
To our future.
And to this glorious pregnancy and this stalwart vessel who makes it all possible.
Father.
He that died for us upon the cross in his last hour was mindful of his mother as if to teach us that this holy love should be our last earthly thought from which we should take our flight for heaven Baby doll.
Mother.
Mother.
Oh, spotless woman in a shameless world.
Mongrel.
We are all for protecting family and I've seen up close how strong the women of Utah are.
I challenge my opponent, Bill Henrickson, not to stay silent.
He must denounce his wife's characterization of Utah women as weak-minded drug addicts.
If you ask me, women are Utah's best natural resource.
Mr.
Henrickson, we don't need lectures on Utah values.
We live them.
Stop throwing your money away on silly jingles and speak to the real issues.
They start running tonight.
She sent advanced copies to Eagle Forum and who knows who else.
I thought you should see.
You brought it on yourself, Barbie.
You shouldn't make sweeping judgments about people running around like Mommy with your half-baked liberal views.
She was implying I'm trying to buy the office.
I'm the little guy.
We're being outspent 2-to-1.
We need more ads.
Oh, good Lord.
Featuring both of us.
Fine.
I'll retract.
I'll retreat, apologize.
You write out whatever you want me to say and I'll say it.
Because I certainly have no voice of my own.
Albert! Please.
Don't turn me away.
Forgive me.
For what? Your sister's here.
I hope you like them.
The clerk said they were very fashionable.
Thank you.
I want you to leave this place, Alby.
Come away with me and make a new life.
I think it's too late for me.
No, it's not too late.
Look at me.
I mean, it's hard, Alby but I'm starting a whole new life for myself.
I just don't think I can.
I love you, Alby.
We weren't allowed to say that.
We weren't allowed to love in that house.
We were punished if we did.
Don't listen to her poison.
There's nothing for you in that world.
Surely you know that now.
Don't talk to me about love.
You started to change.
It only opens you up to hurt.
There is hope for us.
No, I don't think so.
You've lost your way.
I finally found myself.
No, look at yourself.
Look how you're dressed.
Don't do this.
You wanna dress me up in these? Get rid of the whiny bitch.
You're a disgrace! So desperate for love.
Groveling like a common indecent whore! I'm sure you understand we see quite a few hopeful immigrants marry an American citizen right before their scheduled deportation.
I myself have had friends do this kind of thing in not a sincere way.
Goran and I are deeply in love.
We've been dating for over a year and Oh.
I brought photos.
Our last Christmas together.
See? You can't fake that sort of feeling.
Actually, you can.
Why did you decide to get married at this last possible moment? Sometimes it takes having your happiness threatened by separation to make you realize what's really important.
What's your angle on this? We're in love.
There's fines and penalties for attempting a fraudulent marriage.
And deportation and five years in the penitentiary.
This is not a fraudulent marriage.
I saw you're back.
Here's another square.
Oh, you changed out of your other dress.
Do you need any help assembling? No, thanks.
Nicki, are you okay? Talk to me.
It's just a lot is hitting me.
There's so many painful feelings involved.
Of course there are.
You have to open up about this.
I respect your need for privacy, but I wish you would talk to me instead of keeping it all bottled up inside.
I remember the first quilt I ever made.
It was all different birds.
I gave it to my father and he always kept it on the end of his bed.
Nicki, I'm so sorry.
I just I can't believe Joey would be capable of taking a life.
Didn't Bill tell you? Tell me what, Barb? Tell me what? Joey! Wanda, where is he? Tell me it's not true.
Tell me it's not so.
Wanda? Wanda, say something.
Why aren't you talking? What's wrong? What happened to you? JJ, what are you doing here? I'm here to see Wanda.
I've been keeping an eye on her since Joey's been in Mexico.
She's not talking.
What's the matter with her? I don't know.
We're all worried.
She hasn't been right the past few days.
It's because of Joey.
He murdered my father.
Isn't that it, Wanda? Look, I'm sorry.
- You knew? - Wanda told me.
I'm glad this truth is finally coming out.
Joey made her do terrible things.
We have to get her out of here.
We can't leave her here! I agree.
- I'll take her with me to my house.
- No.
She's coming with me.
She needs to be with her family.
- Walkers take care of each other.
- I want her away from here away from Joey and this horrible place! Come on! Are you happy now? That's you, swilling a bottle of Benadryl.
- This is being handed out on the street.
- Well, it's trash.
Honey, you've become a lightning rod.
Keeping you out of the casino matters in what's become an uncomfortably tight race.
We open this place and then you turned it over to me so you could run for office.
You just shuffle me here, there.
I'm just a moving part, but I kept it going on my own.
And I've been in over my head, but I did it for us.
I know how hard you've worked.
- Do you really, Bill? - Yes.
What are you doing here? Trying to win against the house.
- I'd like to speak with you alone, Bill.
- Well, I'm not leaving.
And I'll have security throw you out.
All right.
I'd prefer not to do this in front of you, Barb.
But Bill's having an affair.
- What? - Right under your nose.
I saw him kissing Margene Heffman right here in this office.
Please.
That was just a friendly peck.
That doesn't prove a thing.
Okay, first, Miss Heffman is selling jewelry at your convention, which I found puzzling.
And then we come up here and you pretend you just met her except it turns out you've been funding her business for months already.
Which is it, Bill? Oh, and that kiss I saw was no investor peck.
- I know the difference.
- Now you listen to me.
I am not having an affair.
Must be desperate to try and spin something out of nothing.
I've got more than enough to float this out publicly and you know it.
And if your tryst with the bauble princess gets out Well, need I say more? I'm sorry, Barb.
You can certainly talk a blue streak when it comes to faith and family, can't you, Bill? What a hypocrite.
- I've been waiting for you.
- And I need to talk to you.
I thought about the situation with Goran.
I've decided that we let it stand for now.
You changed your mind? But you can't do that! Well, you know Bill.
He's like the wind, always changing.
No, I thought about everything you said and you're 100 percent right.
- I was acting out of self-interest mostly.
- Oh, you're not the only one.
- You're not helping.
- Not trying to.
Barb, how can you be for this? As a matter of fact, I'm not.
I don't like it one bit either, but it just has to be.
- Marilyn's alleging an affair.
- But that's ridiculous.
Well, actually, you two did have an affair.
She just doesn't realize it happened years ago.
- Barb, I said knock it off.
- Marilyn isn't gonna use this against us.
She knows if she does, we'll just come after her.
It's a stalemate.
You can't possibly leave our fate to a guess on which way a wounded rhino is gonna stampede.
Marge's marriage to Goran hardly precludes her ability to still have had an affair.
Barb, this is triage.
It's a leaky boat, I get it, but we are taking fire from all sides.
This is a temporary fix.
Listen to me! I don't wanna be with Goran.
I just can't.
No way.
We need to hold on until the election.
We need to fight back on all fronts.
We have to be the ones who go public with our story.
The arrangement with Goran will stand.
Henricksons come together in a crisis.
I need my family to start acting like a family.
And why are you so suddenly off staying married to Goran? You've seen him, Barb.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes.
You knew that Joey killed my father?! - How could you not tell me? - I'm sorry.
I finally gave you my heart.
You betrayed me.
What are you doing? - I was just - Spit it out.
Cleaning.
Let me help you up, my darling.
Roman called you back to censure you.
That's why he was trying to get Cara Lynn away from you! I am truly sorry for this.
What have you done to me? I thought I was just making your dreams come true.
Nicki, sweetheart, listen to me.
The last thing I was trying to do was hurt your feelings.
Look.
I handled it badly.
I'm sorry.
But, Nick, you and I need to be good or I can't do this.
It's just everything's changing.
Sarah's leaving.
Marge married.
It's hard to share Margene with Goran, isn't it? I'm not sharing.
And yes, it is.
I know what you mean.
I don't want another wife either.
No one said anything about another wife.
Okay.
The thought of another wife never bothered you before.
That was before.
- Before what? - Just before.
Before everything got so confusing.
Before I loved you.
Nicki.
I was told I could never have a man all to myself that it was selfish to even want that so I've gone without love.
I don't wanna share you anymore.
But, Nick, Margie and Barb and all of our children they're the fabric of who we are.
I know.
The Principle is who I am.
The reason I'm running is for the Principle.
It's my faith.
I thought it was yours too.
It is.
Of course it is.
Just someday I want you to feel the same about me.
Hey.
Of course we'd never leave Barb.
Or Marge.
- Who is that? - My new husband.
I invited him.
Part of the family now.
He's gonna need to be around.
We have to establish our relationship.
Hey, Ben, let me spell you for a bit.
Sure.
Play another round? Okay.
You must be Bill, huh? Let's go.
Sure.
You are playing with fire, Margene.
No one's left me any choice.
That guy who was called Mr.
Margene Heffman the other day he's not.
He's just a good friend who was helping me out.
Hello.
You lied, Barb.
He's just a good friend who was helping Marilyn? I felt bad about Bill cheating on you but you knew, didn't you? Margene's your neighbor.
You've known her for years.
You knew, didn't you? I don't wanna discuss this with you.
You lied.
You've been pretending you didn't know her.
What kind of woman are you that your husband fooled around like that that you cave in to his appetites? What kind of message does that send to your daughters? You know, at first, I was angry with you.
Now I think I feel sorry for you.
For the compromises you've made with your life.
I know what that's like.
To have trimmed the sails of your conscience.
I've had to do that too.
There's nothing about us that's the same.
And you know nothing about me.
Oh, I know some.
And I'm just getting started.
There was no affair.
Margene is married to a lovely man.
They're good friends of ours.
You can say whatever you want, but we'll deny it.
Good night, Barb.
- Hi.
- Dad, it's 1 in the morning.
Couldn't sleep.
Listen, if this is about you asking me to come to your interview It's not.
I brought pepperoni.
How about I help you pack up some of these boxes and we eat greasy pizza? You didn't come over here to help me pack.
I wanted to give you this.
Something to help you and Scott get started.
Five thousand? I just wish it could be more.
All right.
Tommy.
What are you doing here? Sorry to bother you, Bill.
Took two days to unencrypt, but we got everything on her laptop.
What did you get? What we thought we knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
She's dangerous.
Look, she's screwing all the tribes, pitting one against the other.
She's actually working with the Nez Perce to shut us down.
And at the same time, she's taking our retainer.
She's unconscionable.
Well, this is huge.
That's nothing compared to what she's doing to you.
She's gotten your tax records, names of campaign donors Home Plus corporate filings.
She's out to personally destroy you.
Thanks, Tommy.
Tancy, honey.
Tancy! Thanks, Tancy.
That was a treat.
And happy birthday.
Bill, we're sorry your other daughter couldn't be with us this afternoon.
She's sorry she couldn't break her prior commitment.
Now, Bill, you're running in a district that heavily favors Republicans yet polls show you've slipped and are barely even with your challenger.
Barb, your comments about Utah women have come to take center stage in the campaign.
Do you see a connection? I would appreciate the opportunity to address this.
I have nothing but the utmost respect for my fellow Utah women.
But are you prepared to make an official apology? No, Barb.
My wife has nothing to apologize for.
She addressed a real problem and everyone knows it.
Instead of vilifying her, we should examine the truth in what she said.
It's tough to be a woman out here in our neck of the woods.
We ask an awful lot, in sacrifice and in nurturing.
Sorry I'm late.
This is our oldest, Sarah.
It's nice to meet you, Sarah.
You really have a lovely family, Bill.
Thank you.
I am blessed.
Hey.
Yes, yes, yes! Yes! Now I can play hockey with you this winter.
Happy birthday, rat-head.
Thank you.
Oh, actually, Teenie this one's for Sarah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Me? This is from Lester from his T-ball uniform.
This one's mine.
It's my first recital dress.
- That's from one of my old dresses.
- Those are my old p.
j.
's.
That's from Dad's barbeque apron.
Your hot-dog man apron? Take good care of it.
It's so beautiful.
Thank you.
I'm gonna go get the cake.
