Big Love (2006) s04e09 Episode Script

- Where is she? - I don't know.
- What are you doing in there? - I'm dropping off Cara Lynn.
We were supposed to meet my mother.
Where is she? She's gone.
What do you mean, gone? Well, she's in Kansas.
Didn't you know? I spoke to her last week.
She never said anything.
Well, in fairness, Nicki, you and she were never that close.
Hi, toots.
I'm so glad to see you.
- When will she be back? - I don't know.
She said she wanted to be surrounded by her sister-wives during her pregnancy.
There was a caravan leaving and she hopped on.
Come on, sweetheart.
I'll get you settled in.
We'll come back in an hour.
I told my sister Evie we'd come by to say hello.
- But you said it was urgent, Bill.
- I'd hoped that we could speak privately.
- I'm afraid this is the best I can do.
- It concerns Marilyn Densham.
Troubling things have come to my attention.
What are you talking about? She's running a corruption racket bilking Indian tribes with the help of some pretty powerful insiders.
- Go ahead.
I'll meet you inside.
- She's working with the Nez Perce tribe to shut my casino down.
Same time, she's still taking money from us.
No, I can't believe that.
Well, it's true.
And I found out some frankly, damning information about who she's close to, you know, politically.
Information of what sort? Files, really, that break down a lot of her deals a mix of people she brings together at junkets and the like.
I see.
So why tell me? I want her to leave my casino alone and stop looking into my personal life.
I thought you might talk to her.
I mean, you're pretty close to her.
You're a congressman.
She'll listen to you, right? I just want to solve this without getting the press involved.
Good luck on Tuesday, Bill.
Mama didn't say one word about leaving.
She loved her Royal Copenhagen figurines.
She'd never ever have left them behind.
Adaleen Grant Walker.
She's married to JJ Walker.
- She'd have arrived in the last day or so.
- I'll check it out.
Also, Bill, there's rumors of a new round of indictments coming down out here.
They're based on evidence off the 340 children that were taken in last spring's raid.
The accusations involve "a systematic pattern of intermarriage.
" - Sheriff's Department told you? - No.
The whole thing's been taken over by the Kansas AG's office.
- How soon is this happening? - This week, the next.
Which? It makes all the difference.
Authorities don't even know who runs this place now.
Okay, thanks.
And let me know as soon as you find out anything about Adaleen Grant Walker.
- You got it.
Sooner or later, we'll have to release her.
Can't just keep her here indefinitely.
We can if she's gonna squeal all the way to kingdom come.
And I know Nicki won't drop it.
Well, this is a high-risk pregnancy.
There could be complications.
- I'm not sure that - And if for some reason you had to make a choice I know you'd choose the innocent, precious life of the unborn infant.
I'm sure Adaleen would agree.
The sedatives might damage the fetus.
Ease up on them just a bit.
And you'll call me tomorrow when Nicki arrives.
If we win, everything in our lives will change.
So I want to lay out the game plan.
I'm calling a press conference after the results are in.
I'm announcing who we are and introducing you as my wives on the steps of the Capitol.
- We could be arrested on the spot.
- We won't be.
There'll be a limo waiting to take us home.
- A limo? - It's just so we can make a quick exit.
Now, I'm hiring a press agent.
We'll be under a microscope, so we need to be careful.
And we need to speak with a clear voice.
And we need to put our best foot forward.
We've got two more days of hard campaigning.
Remember, we're doing this for our children, our children's children.
And as long as we're talking about putting our best foot forward you can splurge and get some new outfits for the day at Dillard's.
Dad.
Dad.
- Marilyn Densham is in your office.
- You're kidding.
Who let her in? I don't know.
Got here 10 minutes ago and there she was.
And the new leaflets just came back from the printers.
Good job, son.
You're not welcome in my office.
Very, very clever pushing stem cell research as a way to point out that your opponent is Catholic and not Mormon.
Such a nice, divisive wedge issue.
And then scaring the crap out of Paley that was well-played too.
Since you don't take me seriously, I thought you might listen to him.
I take you seriously.
I take you very seriously.
Look, why don't you let me help you like I help Paley? Forget State Senator.
How would you like to be a congressman in two years? How does that sound? I told you the first day we met that I don't play those Washington games.
And I don't make deals with morally bankrupt vipers.
You know what? We're done talking about me.
From here on out, we're talking about you.
Paley and I could crush your casino.
He can sink your campaign.
If you think I'm even close to being done with Miss Margene Heffman, think again.
- You have no remorse for what you've done.
- Who do you think you are? You saw my offices.
You saw my guest list.
I have friends.
I have relationships.
I am respected.
- You're a common criminal.
- You listen to me.
I am not the woman you say I am.
I am not that woman.
You cannot do this to me.
Haven't you ever made a mistake? - How are Ana and Goran? - Fine.
Bill told you to stay married, but I hope you keep yourself annullable.
We're in a public dressing room.
I don't have to discuss that marriage with you, Nicki.
Fine, let's talk about our marriage.
Thought maybe when we move into the new house, we should try a different rotation.
We could switch off Bill week to week instead of day to day.
- Sure, that could work.
- But we've always done a day rotation.
Well, maybe it's time to rethink doing what we always do.
Barb, nice.
Do you think? And, Nicki, that looks good.
Why are you dressed like me? I just want to dress appropriately for a State Senator's wife.
But do you really think it suits you? Yes, I think it does.
And you heard Bill, everything's going to be different.
You were first wife because you were public wife.
But that's not necessarily the case anymore, because we're all gonna be public wives.
I'm first wife, Nicki, because I came first.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I must've put that suit on the wrong door.
Oh, you took the suit off my door? I didn't think it would raise such a ruckus.
Nicki, it's fine.
Well, we can't go out there dressed as twins, so All right, first she dresses like you, then she dresses like me.
She wants to change the schedule.
What is going on with her and why are you kowtowing? Barb, she just found out her father was murdered and she's infertile.
She didn't want you to know.
She's lost, Barb.
Then after the end of days we'll have our pick of all the beautiful homes.
We'll buy them for pennies on the dollar.
We'll drag out the dead bodies and we get the house.
Don't you have a busy campaign schedule these days? There's rumors of indictments coming down out of Kansas, JJ.
- Know anything about that? - How would I? You know I haven't been in Kansas for months.
You ran the place.
Surely you get news from your brethren.
The prophet ran Kansas, Bill.
I was his caretaker, nothing more.
The indictments have to do with intermarriage.
Three hundred and forty children were taken and then returned when there wasn't a shred of evidence of any abuse.
The state of Kansas was forced to issue a public apology.
This is a different matter.
Kissing cousins is the best they can do? It's a trumped-up charge.
They want the abuses to end and so do I.
Do we understand each other? You and I aren't so different, Bill.
We want the same things.
We want what's best for our families.
Where's Adaleen? Malinda said that she was in Kansas, but we can't seem to reach her.
Keep trying.
Terrible cell service in that part of Kansas.
I'm sure she's safe and sound.
Fine.
Until we hear from her and know she's safe you won't be seeing Cara Lynn.
Now, you know I don't like it when my daughter is brought into these things.
No, Papa.
It's just no one can drive me back down today.
We can come pick you up, sweetheart.
It's no trouble.
But I would have to come right back.
School is on Monday.
What about your tonsillectomy? You need a follow-up exam, make sure you're healing properly.
I miss you so much.
It's breaking my heart just a little bit.
- The baby.
I need to get her, but I'll call - No, don't hang up on me.
- I have to go.
- Don't hang up! She was dealing at the ATM by the cashiers.
How did she even get in here? Her cousin works at Security.
We didn't know she was carrying.
Austin, I want her taken into town for this.
You're not gonna do anything like that.
Tell her.
Our only involvement has been in trying to clean up the problem on the reservation.
Why does she say she's protected by you and your father? - I have no idea, okay? I need to eat.
That's a terrible lunch.
Don't you want something to drink? - I'll get you water.
- Hey.
You don't have to do that.
All right.
I trusted you, Tommy, and now you're not telling me something.
If there's anything I've kept from you, it's for your protection.
- What does that mean? - This tribe can't lose this casino.
It's the only good thing that's happened to us in 150 years.
So you are involved in the drug trade.
Leila's my niece.
She and that part of the family started using and then dealing a lot.
There was an investigation.
My father called it off.
We wanted to handle things ourselves.
He lied to the DEA.
That was stupid and short-sighted and wrong.
But they are our family.
And I thought it was over.
Tommy, we can't lose this casino either.
If Bill wins, we are just out there.
I mean, you can't expect us to defer our dreams because you and your father are enabling Leila.
Is it your dream, Barb? Because I don't believe that's what's in your heart.
But you can't take care of this on your own, don't you see? We can help, okay? - What are you doing there? - He said it was trustee business.
- I'm sorry, Alby.
- Get out of my sight.
No apologies, Bill.
My office is always open to you.
Tell me everything you know about what JJ was doing in Kansas.
There's talk of incestuous marriages.
I came to see the marriage books myself.
I can't find a discrepancy.
Everything looks normal.
Father was always exact in his record-keeping.
Alby, neither of us needs this to blow up in our faces.
If these rumors are true, they blacken the Principle and our own reputations.
We should both be on the same side on this.
We are on the same side.
I support your campaign.
And I'm finally announcing my father's succession by me whom heavenly father hath anointed and I expect you will offer your support for me.
That depends on your plans for Juniper Creek if you're committed to the reforms begun by Dale Tomasson.
Don't mention his name in my presence.
He was an embezzler and a traitor.
What makes you so sure you will win, Bill? I could end your ambitions with one well-placed phone call.
And I could end yours with the same.
I'm sorry, Father.
He said it was official business.
Please, tell me what I must do to be worthy of your love again.
He's home, he's home.
The great charlatan is home.
What on Earth are you talking about? Telling Margene she can't be in your family anymore unless she divorces us.
- What a bully.
- I'm not bullying anyone.
I never said that to you.
Margene doesn't want to give up her business and she wants to stay married.
That's not what she told us.
- Margene.
- Well, I don't want to give up my business.
Why couldn't you be honest, Bill? Why? Is it that hard? Are you saying that you're not going out on stage with us? No, of course.
I want to.
I hope so.
I don't know.
Yes.
No.
It Both.
But you insisted you wanted the marriage to end.
You said Bill's making you.
Is he not making you? He sort of is.
- What a tangled web, Margene.
- Just give us a straight answer.
- Are you ending the marriage or not? - Yes.
I am so sorry.
But you're not selling your business.
You can't walk out on stage with us.
So why are you ending the marriage? Everyone just leave me alone! Wanda, do you know me? Do you know Joey? Your husband, Joey? Wanda, are you a zebra? See? The doctor said exactly what we thought, emotional trauma.
They said she's like a Cambodian woman.
They want to send her to the psychiatric wing for treatment.
But then we'd have to tell them about Joey.
What difference does that make? For all we know, he may never come back from Mexico.
Wanda, I know you understand.
You and Joey Jr.
Are safe and can stay here until you're well.
- Hello.
- Nicki.
Dr.
Roquet.
Sorry to bother you.
About your appointment tomorrow.
I've been looking over your labs and I'm afraid our regimen isn't working.
But how can that be? You said with the progesterone, I'd be ready to ovulate.
I'm sorry.
I misread the hysterosalpingogram.
I've had to reconsider my opinion.
I don't believe pregnancy's an option for you.
But there must be something else we can try.
You could give me what you gave my mother.
Look, if you want to see another doctor, I can give you a referral.
I've had to cancel your appointments.
I'm sorry.
Who was it? It was just a canceled appointment.
I'm fine.
Papa called me.
He wants to see me.
Honey, no, I don't want you going there.
At least not for the next few days.
No, it's okay.
I don't want to go.
I want to be here.
I think what Bill is doing is so exciting and I want to be a part of it.
What do you mean, selling meth on the casino floor? Just that, and Tommy confessed it all.
They're protecting their family and their tribe.
But it implicates us.
- I know.
- No, no, no, this cannot stand.
Of course it can't, but they can't solve it on their own.
We need to help, to figure out a way We have to figure out our exposure is what we have to do.
- Barb? - Need to figure out how deep this goes.
I told him I'd tell you and I told him we'd address it.
Barb, come in here now.
- Are you behind this? - Behind what? - Marge's little plan to give me her egg.
- More than one.
As many as it takes.
We know your fertility issues have been hard for you.
I was in the shower thinking about how you must feel.
- This idea just popped into my head.
- I told you I don't want your egg.
- Give me one good reason why.
- You have no boundaries and never have.
You'd go along with this? I carry her baby and she gets to keep her job? Yeah, well, I thought it was worth discussing.
This isn't about my job.
It's commonplace, IVF.
- It would be your baby, Nicki.
- It's not my baby.
Not even close.
Your egg, Bill's sperm in me.
I mean, it's disgusting.
- What's going on in here? - Wives' stuff, Bill.
Sorry.
If it involved you, we wouldn't be closing these doors.
I don't want your big-headed baby.
Wouldn't even be able to deliver it.
An idea just popped into your head, my foot! - You tramp.
- Nicki! - What did you call me? - This is a sneaky attempt to buy your way out of the doghouse for your many transgressions.
And to deflect attention about Goran.
- What about Goran? - It's as plain as the nose on your face.
Your mother flirted from man to man, always looking for the next thing.
I don't see you as any different.
I'm becoming seriously concerned about your ability to settle down and commit to a serious polygamist relationship.
Nicki, we do share our children on all other matters anyway.
We're more than just our ability to conceive.
No, don't.
I'm not a member of the we-who-are-infertile club.
We were just trying to help you.
Listen to me.
When I have a baby, it is going to be my baby with Bill.
- I don't care I don't care what - I understand.
No, you don't.
Neither of you do.
Because the fact is I feel more for Bill than either of you and I don't particularly want to share him anymore.
- Is everyone okay? - Oh, my God.
Don't move, Margie.
You've got bare feet.
There's glass everywhere.
Get off.
Get off me! Get off of me, fucker! You ruined my life! And you ruined my dad's life! - Gary? - You made him take the fall for you.
And now everybody knows about us and our lives are effing ruined! He's having a hard time.
At school especially.
I understand.
Don, I'm sorry it's been so tough on your family.
You've been getting your casino checks? How's your custody fight going? I've made some inroads, more with Vernie than Jo Jo.
Maybe it'll rub off.
Well, you look good.
Thanks.
You too.
Are you all right otherwise? We're okay.
We'll make it through.
We're still pulling for you.
You know, I've missed you, pal.
I've really missed you.
The dramatic press conference has set off a firestorm in Kansas with ripple effects sure to be felt here in Utah.
- The indictments have come down.
- How bad are they? The 22 indictments involve 32 children below the age of 12 who show dramatically high coefficients for inbreeding.
Attorneys for the polygamous sect - Disgusting.
filed papers for return of the children.
Older teens had less-pronounced markers for genetic closeness leading officials to surmise the problem began relatively recently.
Officials stormed the compound shortly after 3 p.
M and have made 14 arrests so far.
I don't understand.
I looked at the nuptial registries.
There was no evidence of intermarriage.
This is bad, Barb.
Bill, I am so afraid the dam is about to burst.
The casino is in jeopardy.
Personal complications in the family.
Now all this.
Then proclaiming who we are? I'm afraid we're walking off a cliff.
- I've come too far to retreat.
- I'm not suggesting we retreat.
We just need to put one foot in front of the other.
We're gonna see this through and it's gonna be all right.
Trust me.
And I'm taking care of the casino.
Events out of Kansas have crept back into the news with yesterday's indictments namely because of ties into Utah and our ongoing relationship with polygamy.
How would you solve this? Mrs.
Usher? Well, it's difficult to speak about in decent society.
We have social taboos that have apparently been transgressed.
- We have to end it now, full stop.
- Oh, come on.
Of course, I don't know how my opponent feels about it.
Are you challenging me to take a position against intermarriage and inbreeding? No.
I am asking you why you are not pushing our own Utah AG.
I understand that he planned a similar raid on Juniper Creek but then he backed off, because it was potentially "too explosive.
" I am not the attorney general.
I'm merely the trustee to the UEB.
Yeah, with authority over Juniper Creek which is the tumor from which this Kansas metastasis has been spreading.
With due respect, where are you getting this stuff from? I think your information may be a little inbred.
Look, we need to return to the issues that concern us all.
Embryonic stem cell research.
Do you realize we have the potential to cure Alzheimer's? We could build a world-class research facility at BYU and lead the way.
I just don't understand why my opponent can't support that.
Build with Bill! Build with Bill! Build with Bill! Eleven years ago, I started Home Plus on a dream.
We fight for that dream every day, don't we? In 25 seconds, we begin our final dialathon.
Over the next three hours, we'll reach every voter in the district.
Now, my opponent's fought a strong race Leslie "Inbred" Usher! Leslie "Inbred" Usher! Leslie "Inbred" Usher! Now, now.
But I think we've worked harder and done better.
With your help, tomorrow might be a very good day.
- Can I help you? - I'm Terry Westlake from KC YB.
Oh, Terry, good to see you.
Yeah, we're doing well.
Polls show us neck and neck.
- But I think we're doing a bit better.
- Good.
But I'm to get you on the record for information surrounding your alleged mistress.
I'm sorry? I'm an investor in her business, nothing more.
- Anything beyond that's utter fabrication.
- So you're denying the child is yours? - What child? - Her baby.
Ana Mesovich.
She's six months pregnant and according to the paternity test, she's carrying your child.
Care to comment? Well, if you change your mind, we're breaking the story tonight at 10.
- He said 10:00.
- Well, you said they had evidence? The paternity test.
Marilyn obviously twisted someone's arm to get it.
- But whose? - Ana, has anyone spoken to you? No, and I resent the implication.
Well, you were mad at Bill.
If Bill doesn't win, Goran stays married to Marge.
No, don't answer it.
It could be a reporter.
What about you, Nicki? You hate Ana and her baby.
And it's just the kind of thing you'd do.
I never said I hated the baby.
Just that the baby was a big mistake.
And heavenly father got rid of Ana because he realized that spirit baby wasn't intended for us after all.
- You're nuts! - Turning guns on each other is not helping.
You stand to benefit from the scandal.
If Bill doesn't win, guess whose business still stands.
Except I would never do such a thing.
Never.
Never.
Maybe I should come forward as the father.
That's not necessary.
I'm the baby's father.
No, it's your child, but I'm going to be the father.
- No, I don't think so.
- Bill.
What are you gonna do? Well, tell them to stay late.
If they've got any information, I need it now.
Because once he's elected, it's of no use to me.
E-mail it, fax it, I don't care.
If he's elected, it's too late.
What? Have you come to beat me up or are you wearing a wire? Your story's about to break.
You've got me.
So? You were right about me.
I cheated on my wife.
Then there's the baby.
Then there's the baby.
Channel 9 says they're running with the story at 10:00.
An extramarital affair would sink me, as you know.
It would.
- This can't come out now.
- No, or ever.
What do I have to do for you to call it off? I just need you to know that it's not in your best interests to libel me.
Fine, but if it was libel, you could've sued.
Okay, what evidence have they come up with on their own? To my knowledge, they just have the paternity test you gave them.
Right, the paternity test.
Okay.
Any confessions? Not that I know of.
Channel 9 is owned by Bossman Broadcasting which is the Lancaster family.
Is it too late for you or Paley to stop the story or walk it back? I think we can try to get the horse back in the barn.
You're like a big pinata, Bill.
Every time I give you a whack, more goodies fall out.
Can't believe they'd accuse me of leaking the story.
They don't understand you if they can think such a thing.
They will always be paranoid and controlling, and that's just a fact.
Don't! Reporters, maybe.
Margie, I hate to say this, but now Bill probably won't win.
I don't see how he could.
Maybe you and Goran can stay married and we can do like we've been doing.
I'll unhook it.
Ana, I can't.
I have to get a divorce.
I have to.
It's not just about Bill.
It's a little more complicated than that.
I'm so sorry and embarrassed but I'm attracted to Goran a little, so I just need some distance.
And I'm so sorry I couldn't help you.
And I'm sorry that I'm such a tramp.
I've really become a terrible woman.
I've become my worst nightmare.
I've become my mother.
Oh, Margie.
I love Bill.
I didn't want to infringe.
I didn't I have no boundaries.
That's my problem.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I know there is a spark between you two.
We talked about it.
You talked about it? Yes.
Honey, you're attractive and he is.
And I love you and Goran loves me and it's nice to all be together.
That's exactly how I feel.
But I didn't think anybody else would.
You're not a tramp, Margene.
Don't listen to that bullshit.
Oh, hi.
Oh, God.
How much did you hear? "You are not a tramp.
" We'll figure something out.
Margie, we love you.
Tell her, honey.
We do, Margene.
And we are very grateful for all you have done.
See? It's okay.
Oh, Ana, I missed you.
We always clicked.
You guys.
That about wraps it up for us.
If you have any questions about the city's new recycling rules contact Sue at the station.
And join us again tomorrow.
And for everyone here at Channel 9 news, have a good night.
I guess we're in the clear.
For now.
No, Margene.
It's over.
I think we're okay.
Marilyn thought she could stop us and she didn't.
No, it wasn't Marilyn.
It was me.
I did it.
- What? - It was me.
I called Channel 9 this morning.
The world isn't ready for us and we are not ready for it.
- Barb.
- You called the station? You gave them a copy of my paternity test? You were so blinded by your vision.
You don't see what's going on.
- How could you? - There's no ground beneath us.
The casino is okay.
Bill, we're not even polygamists anymore.
I mean, Nicki doesn't want to share and Margie has a half-marriage.
You wanted me to lose.
I didn't know what else to do.
Morning, ladies.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Thank you.
- Can we get one more, please? One more? Well, I'm gonna vote now.
No, I need to speak to him.
No, I need to speak to him now.
Please, just put me through.
Well, where is he? Removed? By who? Come on, everybody.
Keep pushing.
We are almost home.
You went to the tribal council and had Tommy and Jerry removed.
You denounced them and had them replaced.
There was no choice.
I made an assessment.
Assessment? I did what I had to do, quickly, cleanly, to protect us.
I told them we'd help them.
I asked you to help them.
- He was my friend, Bill.
- I know that.
Barb, they lied to the DEA twice.
They're implicated in the distribution of meth.
It was an ambush.
Without even telling them, we just cut and run.
I didn't cut and run.
Their involvement puts our license at risk.
We can't go forward if this casino is compromised.
Except I don't think you care about that.
You tried to blow us up sabotage everything this family stands for as if we were worthless so don't talk to me about an ambush.
I am trying hard to understand why you did what you did but I can't.
- Hello.
- Nicki, you'll have to forgive me.
I made an error, though I think you'll be pleased to hear it.
What is it? I misread someone else's file for yours.
And in fact I was not only wrong about your diagnosis but I believe you're actually pregnant.
I'm sorry? You're pregnant, Nicki.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
You have no idea how happy that makes me.
I knew it.
I knew it.
I knew you could do good things for me.
I had faith in you.
I just need to run a few tests to confirm.
Can you swing by sometime soon? I'm on my way.
I am on my way.
I'm so happy.
Thank you.
Wanda.
Wanda.
I'm running to the compound to see Dr.
Roquet.
I may have the most wonderful gift to celebrate Bill's victory.
I'm pregnant! Nicki.
An additional 118 children were removed from the ranch and taken into protective custody this morning, Larry.
Clearly the lurid and salacious details coming out of the Kansas compound have captured the public's imagination.
This is exploding out of control.
- Baltimore, hello? - Yeah.
I heard there's a secret cemetery in Kansas and Juniper Creek for all the babies they smother that were born with horrible deformities.
Is that true? - What do you know about that? - I don't know if it's a private cemetery or a section of pioneer cemetery that's been set aside but, yeah, I've heard the same.
How can we come forward with all this? A spokesman for the sect insisted they do not tolerate the promotion or the practice of incest.
They don't regard it as incest, Larry.
They think of it as a strong interest in family planning.
The Walker family had instituted a program of eugenics in the '50s but it was thought to have been discontinued.
No matter what we do, we'll be tarred with this filth.
I wanted there to be an open dialogue about our way of life.
I am so proud of this family.
Ben I thought when people saw you, really saw you they couldn't help but love you.
- Daddy? - What are you doing here? You had me kill the story that would have killed your career.
Teenie, please, leave now.
Which I did, on the assumption that it would give me leverage over you.
What's your point? But as of 9:00 tonight, it doesn't, does it? You're a polygamist.
What are you talking about? Tommy and Jerry Flute told me.
They hate me but, boy, do they hate you more.
Do you really think the world is gonna embrace you? Oh, you sad, stupid man.
So you figured it out.
Now get out of my house.
You are gonna face a shitstorm.
Every member of any real church is gonna revile you.
Every campaign worker that you've deceived is gonna despise you.
Are you done? You duped me into putting you into office.
And your religion, I think, is bullshit.
It's just another excuse for fucking around.
You are in no position to judge me.
At least my sins are my own.
I don't use God to justify them.
- Nicki.
- Wanda? - He tricked her.
- Who did? JJ.
That's what he does.
- He does bad things.
- What bad things? He keeps us pure the family the Walkers.
He arranges inappropriate marriages? No.
He collects our eggs and plants them.
He fools us and steals them.
He's got Nicki at his clinic.
He'll do to her what he did to Adaleen.
Ben, go find Cara Lynn now! What did he do, Wanda? What did he do to Adaleen? Tell me, what did he do? What did he do? He put me and him inside her! I knew there was a mistake.
I knew it was working.
I could feel it.
Now you're gonna feel a little prick.
Nothing more.
You know I'm not squeamish about needles.
I thought the progesterone was to help me conceive.
The same deficits that made conception difficult must still be corrected to sustain the pregnancy.
Put a little pressure on that.
When I thought I couldn't have children I was afraid heavenly father had forsaken me because of some things that had happened things I had done.
I'm a bit dizzy.
Relax now.
I'm just gonna do a quick little procedure and see what's going on.
I feel so darn dizzy.
Alby, your sister's in danger.
JJ has a clinic here.
Tell me where it is.
I don't know where it is.
I'm busy.
He's got Nicki! You gotta help me find her.
I don't have to help you do anything.
I've been given keys you have no understanding of.
- Don't turn your back on your family.
- I have no family! My struggles are only of this lifetime.
The end of days is near and you ask for facts and figures and wheres and whos? Here, take them.
Here's your maps and permits and locations.
I'm not interested in this pettiness anymore.
Help me, please! A little Versed.
Forgive me, Nicki.
For what? What? You like this song? I'm taking over from here.
I am so happy.
You've finally returned to me.
I recently borrowed something from our daughter that will help reunite our loving family.
The three of us.
My baby is not mine.
- Darling? - It's not mine.
- Mama? - He put an egg in me.
No, I told Margie and Barb I wouldn't do that.
You monster! Incestor! How can there be incest when there is no intercourse? Stop! Stop him! Stop that man, I beg of you! He's getting away! Nicki, did he hurt you? No.
I didn't let him.
I just wanted to give you another baby.
I want to be a good wife but how can I be a good wife when I can't give you more children? Honey, it's all right.
I don't care.
I don't.
That's not the way it is.
That's the way it is with us.
- Hello? - Dad! Dad, it's me! - You won! - What's that, Ben? Leslie Newton Usher just conceded.
You're really gonna be making that speech tonight.
We've gotta be downtown in an hour.
Are you coming? I'm struggling with us, Bill.
I've always given you my consent to anything you wanted.
Why are we doing this? Why are we going downtown? I have a testimony.
I believe in the Prophet Joseph.
I believe in Doctrine and Covenants, section 132.
I believe that the Principle of plural marriage is the key to eternal life everlasting.
No, this isn't about polygamy.
Yes, it is.
The Principle will die if it's left in the dark.
It'll be con men and perverts.
It'll be despots and victims until it's destroyed.
Just as Brigham Young led us across the country I have to lead the Principle into the future to keep it alive, to redeem it, to save it.
I don't want to hear your g.
d.
Testimony.
Tell me what's in your heart.
We've gone off the tracks.
I've seen the darkness in me too with Don with Ben with you.
I've fallen short.
Completing this journey stepping into the light is the only way I know how to redeem myself.
Tell me what's in your heart.
I don't know what's happening to me.
I want a different life, I think.
I've needed you for 20 years.
I don't think I need you anymore.
Are you sure? I'm very grateful tonight as I assume the position of State Senator.
I want to thank the many, many volunteers for their tireless campaigning and to acknowledge a well-fought race by my opponent, Leslie Usher.
Before I go any further I want to introduce myself to you.
I'm Bill Henrickson.
And I believe in the Principle of plural marriage.
I am a polygamist.
Are you kidding us? Come on.
I want to introduce you to my family.
We're not your typical American family but we're an American family nonetheless.
My wife, Nicolette Grant.
I didn't vote for this! Mother of our two sons and a beautiful daughter.
You lied to us! My wife, Margene Heffman a proud, strong businesswoman mother of two boys and one precious daughter.
How many do you have? And my first wife, my first love Barbara Henrickson mother of our three eldest children.
Though I believe in plural marriage I promise you that I will make it my mission to shine a light where there are abuses.
Where there is fundamentalism and extremism where the Principle is used as a cudgel against the weak I will tear down those places and begin anew.
There are portraits of polygamists lining the halls of this Capitol.
After an absence of 100 years, I will proudly join them at the next session of the legislature to serve the great state of Utah.
Thank you.
