Numb3rs s03e12 Episode Script

Nine Wives

Morning! Hey! We're gonna be back sometime Sunday night.
In time for dinner? Well, it's a math conference at Stanford, so chances are we may be a little late getting back.
"We"? Amita and I.
We're driving together.
A romantic weekend away, huh? We will be driving through wine country.
You know what they say: Central California has some lovely Cabernets.
See you, kid.
Get out! Lady? Lady? FBI? Yeah, how ya doing? Rachel Willons, California Bureau of Investigation.
Don Eppes.
Colby Granger.
Abner Stone did this.
Did what? Kidnapped the girl and beat her.
Abner Stone from the polygamy cult? He's one of the fugitives on the Ten Most Wanted list.
He assaulted her last night.
I've got roadblocks going.
How do you know he did it? She told me.
We were told she was dead.
No.
The guy that found her was afraid to touch her, thought she was dead.
She was just unconscious.
OK, where is he? Uh, local PD.
This is her up here? - Yeah.
Josephine Kirtland.
Hi, Josephine.
Can you tell me who did this to you? The Prophet.
Abner Stone.
How about where it happened? In the desert.
But he fell asleep.
I don't really know why.
Oh yeah? Did you have to run for a long time? All night.
On this road over here? No, through the mountain.
Up here? - I don't know.
All right.
OK, guys, thanks.
This is where they found her.
- Uh-huh.
She couldn't have walked more than, what? ten miles at most.
It's hard to say.
She's a tough kid.
So what do you got on Stone? "Apostolic Saints", fundamentalist polygamists.
Abner Stone controls the families, properties, monies and sex lives of his followers.
They defy him, they defy God.
In which case God, through Abner, orders removals.
Removals.
Exile.
Or death.
He's been hiding in Canada.
He's back for a reason.
You know him pretty good? Yeah, I've been tracking him for about 12 years.
What does he want with this little girl? Most likely - his 73rd wife.
The thing is, how do you think Stone is getting cash? Don't know.
DOJ has frozen his banking and business centrals.
Sum of about 15 to 20 million.
We have his church under surveillance.
Is there any chatter about it? Nothing in my office.
DO's attorneys can't get anything out of his people.
Very secretive group.
Good morning.
- Good morning.
Hey, Meeks, welcome.
Guys, meet Abner John Stone, aka the Prophet.
He is the leader of the ASC, the Apostolic Saints.
It's a polygamous group that was started by his grandfather.
How many people are into this cult? Over 2,000.
Down in the town of Louisburg in Central California.
Defrauded capital of the state.
Local officials remember this, so we can't touch them.
None of these women are legally married.
They're all single mothers.
They go on welfare.
They have no private income, and the church owns all the property.
They don't pay taxes or anything like that? No, they call it "bleeding the Beast".
They want to take the American government down.
Ironic, since the government supports them.
In '99, Stone's father died, and that meant, all passed to Abner.
After his older brother expired under suspicious circumstances.
Nice.
Guy kills his own brother.
Two members of his church have been murdered since he's on the run.
Here.
See, that Stone exhibits the behavior of a Jim Jones kind of psychopath.
He alienates all the male competition, he steals women and children, he publicly humiliates his dissenters.
He destabilized an intensely private community to the degree that some of the exiled men brought a suit against their families back.
Which is how we heard what was going on.
Right.
Rape of a child, conspiracy to commit rape That would be the communal marriages.
He takes groups of under-age girls and marries them to full-grown men.
Dozens at a time.
Claims the way to the heaven is marrying virgins.
As many as possible.
You know what? Here you go, #73.
He picked me up after school and took me to a motel.
Was there anyone else there? Three men I didn't know.
Did you see any guns? After he made me get married, he told me to change clothes.
So I climbed out the window.
I didn't want to go home, because he knows where we live.
So I went to a friend's house.
But he found me anyway and took me to a trailer in the desert.
Who is your friend? Lee Brady.
Got that.
We're gonna wanna talk to Lee.
And you remember about how long the drive was to the trailer? Like an hour maybe.
Excuse me.
This is Granger.
Josephine Did Prophet Stone push you to have sex with him? I burned a mix for us to listen to on the way.
Oh yeah? What kind of music are we listening to? Cake, Coldplay, Travis, a couple of indie bands I put some Kinks on there.
My Mom's a huge Kinks fan, so I know it works.
Oh, cool.
That's nice.
What? - No, nothing.
It's not nothing.
What? I'm sorry.
Can we just put on something else? Or maybe - let's drive quietly.
Quiet, for five hours? Yeah.
We don't have to.
Put the Kinks back on.
That wasn't the Kinks.
Hello? Hey.
Where are you? I'm in the car with Amita.
We're on our way to a math conference at Stanford.
Look, I need some help here.
OK, what's up? We got these satellite photos - We're trying to find a trailer home in the desert.
We got some coördinates, but I think the problem is, the area is too large.
OK, so you are linked to JPL? - Yeah.
Hold on, I'll put you on the speaker phone.
Go ahead.
- Tell us what you know.
This guy grabbed a girl from a home in Bakersfield.
Give me GPS readings for the house, as well as for where the victim was found.
I got it.
negative 119.
020 longitude.
He drove about an hour to a trailer in the desert, where he attacked the victim, who then escaped.
She walked all night to Highway 14.
That's the thing.
We're dealing with 2,200 square miles of mountain desert.
How rough is the terrain? I mean, did she cross a road? Did she follow a road? Did she have gear? She didn't have any gear.
She had a sprained ankle.
Um - it was at night.
It was a mountain outroad.
Because the rougher the terrain, the more likely she was forced into a Levy-flight type movement.
I can create a viable search pattern, but we're gonna need bounds, so that certain areas have higher values than others.
For example: We're looking for a trailer, well, that's probably gonna be near a road.
Now, how was the weather? The weather was clear.
I still don't see what we're doing.
It's like when you lose your keys.
You don't methodically search every inch of your house from front to back.
You look like crazy in one area, and then jump to the next most likely area and look there.
Donnie, I've got a really good bounding set for you here.
Go ahead.
Search sectors 78, And then rapidly scan the areas between.
OK, got it.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll call you later, all right? Roger that, Don.
10-4.
Do you wanna turn around? No.
You sure? They're gonna find this guy.
I hear there are some really nice Central Coast wines.
Maybe we should try them with dinner tonight? Mmm, sounds good.
No sign of someone's trailer in sector 87.
So next.
Leaping over to sector 91.
What is Stone looking for down here that he can't get in Canada? Maybe something to do with the community here, right? Maybe.
Wait a minute.
Actually, go back.
Here.
Can you bring this 91 to full screen? Go tighter.
Yeah.
Tighter.
Closer.
Oh yeah, that's gotta be it, right? Great.
I'm on my way.
Listen, Don, the girl said her buddy got smarmed.
They found Abner Stone's hideout.
I'm going with you.
I'm looking for my daughter, Josephine Kirtland.
Excuse me.
Emmanueline Kirtland? I'm Rachel Willons, California Bureau of Investigation.
I'll take you to your daughter.
I'll catch up with you.
Is she all right? She's a little beat up, but she'll be OK.
You live in Louisburg, Emmanueline? No, my husband moved us out three years ago.
We live in Bakersfield now.
Ah.
But you're still Apostolic Saints? Still believe in Prophet Stone? Where is your husband? He was killed last year.
I see.
Did you know Prophet Stone wanted Josephine for a wife? That's why we were exiled, you know.
"The sparkle" My husband didn't want Josephine to marry Abner.
The Prophet's had his eye on her for a while.
But now your husband's gone, and Abner came to talk to you about Josephine.
Did you send her to that motel? Mom? I didn't know he wouldn't beat her.
But you were willing to let her marry him.
Oh my God.
You told him where to find me? It's an honor to be the Prophet's wife.
He raped me.
Prepare to move in.
Roger that.
We're approx 10 meters from the trailer, and nobody here yet.
Containment three, are you in position? Roger that, we're in position.
All right.
Let's do this.
Copy that, Agent Granger.
Containment three, you see anything? We got nothing.
Don't move containment.
Stand down.
It's a trap.
We gotta sweep this place, guys.
They left in a hurry.
They raced out of here as soon as they realized Josephine was gone.
They had her tied up in the bedroom.
That must have been where the beating took place.
What's this? Some kind of diagram? A map maybe? What is this guy planning? Uh, we're really not that far from the crime scene.
No, it's OK.
I'm curious about the child that Don mentioned.
Yeah, me too.
And you know, it's OK if we miss that cocktail reception tonight, 'cause that's just a lot of schmoozing.
The conference doesn't start till the morning.
The only thing is, we gonna have to drive all night.
You can sleep.
I'll drive.
And listen to the Kinks the whole time? Maybe.
Emmanueline, does this mean anything to you? Why did you tell Abner Stone how to find Josephine after she ran away? Since we've been in Bakersfield, she's too much of the world.
She's 14, and you gave her to a man in his 40s.
I was trying to save her eternal soul.
How did he get in touch with you? Came to the house.
He knows where all of his believers are.
With three men? What were they driving? It was a big silver it's big.
An SUV? I don't know what you call it.
It was like a truck, but closed up.
Where were they headed? The New City, I guess.
We need to be cautious of our breed.
And what does that mean? The Kirtlands go back to Indiana, before Abner's grandfather came out last.
We're from the original line of Apostolic Saints.
No! Stop it! - You can't control me! You will not talk to that boy! Hey! Wait a minute! I can talk to whoever I want.
I'm not like you.
Do you want to go to hell? Is that what you want? You have to calm down, or I can take her from your custody! Do you understand me? Who were you talking to, Josephine? That boy Lee Brady.
I forbid you! I don't have to listen to you.
You handed me over to get raped! Josephine, it's a spiritual merit! She's God's chosen! You're insane! Emmanueline, listen to me.
Please let me take you to talk to someone to help you.
Women who have been plural wives who have gotten out of it.
God has given me signs.
What signs? The Prophet is taking us back.
We're coming home from exile.
And the price of admission is Josephine? I know that you were scared, because this is the only life that you have known.
But there is another way, a better way to lead a spiritual life.
Temptation comes in many guises.
I'll be back in the morning for my child.
The characters are odd.
Like letters of an archaic language.
Looks a little like Hebrew, but not quite.
These people are fundamentalists? Yeah, Old Testament stuff.
Could this chart have something to do with the Bible? You see this? "Pennies for the Prophet".
Yeah.
This guy wants to found "a new city where the Saints can live in purity".
This guy's asking for people's pennies, meanwhile he's a multimillionaire.
Talk of purity always disturbs me.
The genocides in Rwanda, Bosnia, the ethnic cleansing.
Why do evil people always seem to be hell-bent on purity? This pattern seems to be very important to these people.
Well, seems mathematical.
It's rudimentary, but I think maybe Yeah.
Let's blow off the conference and work on this.
Emmanueline Kirtland said he was driving in a silver SUV.
At least she thought it was an SUV.
She's been so sheltered, she didn't know what to call it.
Put the description out.
Send Stone's picture to law enforcement agencies and all media.
Or even fax it to gas stations from Mexico to Canada.
They got through the road blocks? Well, anything's possible.
But we don't think they realized the girl was missing till they woke up in the morning.
And we already had the area closed in by then.
So how can we find them? Well, he knows where all the believers live.
They revere him, and they're all practiced liars.
They call it "lying for the Lord".
But he's aware we're after him.
Isn't he too smart to roll up to the house of one of his followers? Yeah, but he's driven by a malignant narcissism.
He needs to be where people will treat him like a god.
He's also a sex predator, searching for prey.
We need to track down and interview every Apostolic Saints member in LA county.
How many is that? All right, let's get to it.
You wanna take that? Yeah, thanks.
Grew on me.
Ow! Uh Hi! I didn't expect you back.
We got diverted by Don's case.
Hello there.
Hi, Dr French.
Mildred.
Please call me Millie! I don't know what my mother was thinking when she named me Mildred.
It's horrible.
I don't look like a Mildred.
It was my grandmother, who's great, but I just I know that I'm your boss.
But if we all could just be friends, wouldn't that be great? I was just about to open another bottle of Cabernet.
You wanna join us? No thanks.
We have work to do on the case.
Calabi-Yau manifold! Yes.
I was explaining string theory to Alan.
He's very smart.
Wouldn't that make a beautiful sculpture in front of the building? A "Who's This".
Indeed.
Where is the ladies' room? Right this way.
You know, your father wants to understand what we do.
Did you know that? Well.
I just said that to get her going.
She's really rather amusing.
Dad, are you dating Mildred? No, I don't do that.
We were having dinner.
You know.
Gotta eat.
Hey, uh Oh, this string theory stuff.
I think it's bogus.
Come on.
Took you all 40 years to get back to what we were talking about in the '60s.
You know, vibrations.
Dad, what's important is what actually vibrates.
Straight pieces, closed rings, little surfaces.
Oh come on, face it.
We're talking about vibes! It's bogus.
Oh, come on.
He's just having fun.
Yeah.
OK, we have seven men and who are members or ex-members of Stone's church in LA.
Seven men, that means basically we have seven families to interview.
Let's get agents to sit on each location till we can get there.
Rachel Willons.
Whoa, slow down, Josephine.
I thought you were at the hospital.
OK.
Listen.
Stay put.
Don't move.
I am coming.
What happened? Josephine skipped out of the hospital with her boyfriend.
She went home to get her clothes, and found blood.
Her mother's missing.
She thinks Abner took her.
Let's go.
Why did you say that Abner Stone took your mother? Who else? She doesn't know anybody here.
She rarely even leaves the house.
Why would he take her? He's crazy.
And so is she.
She might have just gone with him.
We have all that blood, remember? We had it in the kitchen.
Why did you leave the hospital? What? You and your boyfriend left the hospital, and now your mother's missing.
Josephine, did you do something to hurt your mother? No! I want my mom off my back.
I want her to get help.
I don't want her dead! But why did you sneak away then? You don't understand.
Ever since my dad died, my mom's like a zombie.
I pick up our food stamps and welfare checks.
I do the shopping.
I pay the bills.
All she does is tell me I'm going to hell, and then hands me over to a pervert.
OK.
I understand that you're angry.
But you're not answering my question.
Why did you and your boyfriend Me and Lee have never been away together.
Lee, your story doesn't make any sense to me.
What were you two doing there? We were just going back to her house to get some clothes.
Where are your parents? I got no parents.
What does that mean? They live in Louisburg.
I live here.
So the Prophet kicked you out? Kicks out a lot of boys.
Where do you live now? One of the older guys has a studio appartment in Bakersfield.
He lets me stay sometimes.
And what happens when he doesn't let you stay? You're on the streets, Lee? So you kill Josephine's mother, and the two of you stay in her place.
No way! No! After we left the hospital We have you on a hospital security tape, Lee.
We see you leaving at 8:35, and you didn't call us until 45 minutes later.
Enough time for you to go to the house.
No, we stopped for a burger! We can check that too, Lee.
No! I got the receipt! Look, it's even got the time on it.
We didn't hurt anybody.
This is random.
There must be some sort of system here.
Yeah, but there are discrepancies between your paper and my quilt.
See, these lines are missing.
I think he's reconstructing it.
He's adjusting it.
Just wanted to say goodnight.
Leaving? Yeah.
Why are you working on cattle breeding? Cattle breeding? Oh, right.
I'm not supposed to know.
Very classified FBI dairy farm information, right? Never mind.
Millie, what are you talking about? No.
Believe me.
Mum's the word.
I didn't see a thing, OK? Wait, Mild- Millie.
What does this network mean to you? It's an inbreeding chart.
A genealogy! I can decode that.
It's a reticulated tree.
Now, breeders select for certain traits.
If it's, you know, better milkers, more offspring It doesn't look like a normal family tree because of inbreeding.
So if Abner Stone was descendant of the man who founded this religion, then this is his family tree! Religion? I thought we're talking farm animals.
His hand-drawn genealogy differs from the one on the quilt.
The Aramaic letters represent important males, and the cross-stitching is females.
OK.
For example, this guy married his brother's third wive's second daughter.
Ugh! Well, this must be Stone here.
This man has dozens of wives with very few children.
Which means A genetic problem.
Yeah.
Inbreeding works great in cows, not so good in people.
You know, we can determine his inbreeding coefficient.
Inbreeding coefficient? Yeah, how inbred one person is compared to the general population.
Wright's equation.
Wright's equation? Yeah, Sewall Wright.
The University of Chicago mathematician.
The evolutionary geneticist.
That's right.
Worked for the Department of Agriculture.
This bull's got problems.
So Abner Stone has a 42% inbreeding coefficient.
I assume that that's fairly high.
Yeah, regular population has like 0.
1 or 0.
2%.
Then it's no wonder he's had no viable offspring, because so many of his genes carry recessive alleles.
Let's put it this way: If Stone were a stud in a farm, we'd be having steak for dinner.
Unless he crosses with a non-inbred female.
That's why he needed Josephine.
Because even though she's a pure blood, she doesn't carry the recessive genes.
But she's out of reach now, so Josephine has a sister! And that's who he wants next.
I have lots of sisters.
Not full sisters.
When we were exiled, my mom was the only wife my dad took.
The rest stayed in Louisburg.
So you have half-sisters now.
Lots.
Are you gonna find my mom? He took her.
I know he did.
Why would he take her, Josephine? 'Cause he takes everything.
Excuse me.
These kids didn't do anything, except trying to run away together.
Josephine could have a sister here that she doesn't know anything about.
Outside of Louisburg? These women are expected to produced one child a year.
If Emmanueline has no will, she would breed with whomever they told her to.
Stone's fingerprints all over Emmanueline's kitchen.
OK, so Stone kidnapped Emmanueline so she take him to another daughter.
Someone younger than Josephine.
Would she do that? When he will write his genealogy, he's saying down who goes to heaven.
That's pretty powerful incentive for Emmanueline.
So we could be talking about a little girl, who he's gonna take and then groom to be his wife? These men have married girls as young as 9.
And he's run out of options, because we have his followers tied up, and we're closing in on him.
If he has to get the Kirtland girl, it means he's definitely still in the area.
Let's wake up the seven families.
This can't be right.
You're decoding the Kirtland line, right? Charlie.
- What? Emmanueline Kirtland - Yeah, Josephine's mother.
She's also Josephine's sister.
They had the same father.
This is 1932, requesting unit backup for a *** op.
Sorry, officer.
What's the problem? Was I going too fast? Get back in the vehicle, sir! My wife kicked me out.
I shouldn't have been going so fast.
Stop right there! Get back in the vehicle! Be a sport, right? Put your hands on the truck! I wasn't doing anything! Don't move! Is there a problem? Get back in the vehicle! Will you apologize to the police officer? His megalomania is increasing.
Becoming more dangerous.
But he's gonna make mistakes.
He's gonna make mistakes.
He never attacked anyone outside the cult? No.
He's definitely becoming disinhibited.
But let me tell you, Abner's always been on this path.
How do you know him? I grew up with him.
I was married to an ASC elder when I was 13 and the old man was in his 60s.
I got out when he died.
I was 19.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for Emmanueline.
The cult is bad enough.
He raised girls for breeding.
That's it.
There's no skills, no education.
And the threat of eternal damnation if they rebel.
But Emmanueline, she's in the hands of a psychopath.
Whoa, whoa.
Let me ask you this: What do you think he's gonna do next? Try to get through road blocks into Canada or? That would be rational.
But I think he wants a showdown.
And that we have to be afraid of.
Yeah? Why's that? Abner came to get the Kirtland girl.
OK, maybe.
But you know what I think? I think that he's afraid of losing control of Louisburg.
He's on the fringes.
Do you think he'd really go back there? I mean, he's got to know we're all over the place.
I don't know.
Thanks a lot.
As of 6:15am, Stone was headed north and stayed Road 216.
So let's look at sector 167.
Hey, did you get anything from the families you interviewed? No proof that Stone's been to their homes, but I feel like they know something.
Like where he's going? No, more like what he plans to do for their future.
But I don't know.
I can use any details you have to create more bounds.
Well, I've run into the de facto leader.
Meeks is with him now.
Let me know what you find out.
Hey, listen.
Has anyone talked to Josephine about her mother? I'm going now.
Charlie, I think he's gonna have to steal another car.
So he's probably headed toward a town.
Let's sweep over to sector 173, please.
Hey guys, I brought you some breakfast.
Thanks.
Did you find my mom? Um- not yet.
How are you guys doing in here? Is she OK? Uh, I have people looking for her all over the state.
I, um- What? What happened? Is she OK? I- I don't know anything new about your mom.
I need to talk to you about something else, though.
We think that, um- That what? Just tell me.
We think that your mom is also your half-sister.
You didn't know that, did you? Jo, this is not our fault.
We didn't pick our parents.
We're not like them.
My dad is her dad too? I'm sorry.
Since we've been in Bakersfield, I've been going to public school, and You know My mom can barely read.
She's more of a child than me.
Does this tell you anything about where he might have taken her? The New City.
Where is this "New City"? Nobody knows but him.
How does he communicate with you? He doesn't.
How can he be your leader if he doesn't talk to you? He's being falsely accused by your corrupt, ungodly government.
Your prophet just shot and killed a police officer.
It's not a sin to destroy the enemy that's set on destroying you.
We have a duty to defend our families and our beliefs.
Which is what? Raping little girls gets you to heaven? How many wives do you have, Mr Jackson? How many of them were under age the first time you had sex with them? We found the SUV.
It was abandoned on a used car lot.
Three cars were stolen.
Got APBs on them.
But what we found was an MP3 player.
So we know what kind of music Stone likes? No, we know what kind of podcast the guy makes.
Podcasting.
That's how he communicates with his followers.
Charlie's here.
OK, so Stone records a message on his computer, then uploads it to a podcasting website, and his followers use a unique identifier to find it: The name.
And this - is the name of Abner Stone's podcast.
OK, no one can find it without this code.
And from this, we can not only hear what he's been saying "For what you do in secret, I will punish you openly.
" But we can backtrack to find out where he uploaded his rants.
What, you mean through an ISP? No.
To his physical address in real timespace.
I'll subpoena the ISP record.
What good is that gonna do if he is gone? Like, to monitor for his next podcast.
I don't know.
We need something faster.
" the Kingdom of Heaven, so shall they be torn.
" Well, look, if he's hidden there once, maybe he'll hide there again.
Hey, we'll check it out.
But the guys stole three cars.
I mean, he's trying to get through road blocks.
" doesn't fight back, they shall be put to death on this earth.
" No, man.
FBI sedans are not made for this.
Stone podcast from somewhere back here last August.
Looks like we're back to run that road.
Here we go.
- All right.
"I have blessed you, and blessed this place.
"The Lord has blessed you and blessed this place.
"You shall gather with your wives "at 10578 Coyote Road, "there to be blessed and be saved in the arms of your Prophet.
" Don! On his latest podcast, Stone asks for his followers to meet him! Where, in Canada? No, at the address where he uploaded.
Rachel, have you seen any vehicles? Nothing back here.
Rachel's in.
Roger, we got tire tracks back here.
Gunfire, 10578 Coyote Road.
Who's gonna ***** We got an agent down! Agent down! Rachel, are you OK? I'm great! We got an agent down.
Multiple gunshots fired.
We need backup and a medic ASAP.
All right, Colby, we're here.
Where is she? She's right between me and the house, in the middle of the kill zone.
How many? Don't know.
There's multiple shooters.
They have automatic weapons.
All right, we're coming to get you.
Hang tight.
Let's go, guys.
Come on, let's go, let's go.
What has happened to religious freedom in this country? We're a private, peace-loving group of Christians, attacked again by an overreaching and paranoid government.
We're forced to defend ourselves and our beliefs! We live according to the laws of God's will.
Deuteronomy 21:15.
To the nation of the unclean Is my mom in there? I don't know.
You guys are supposed to be waiting inside for the social worker.
Listen, I have Abner Stone on his cellphone from inside the farmhouse, talking to the media.
I need that line cut off.
" that will demolish your high places" If I hadn't run away, none of this would have happened.
" cast your corpses on the fires burning your idols.
" Hey.
Listen to me.
This is not your fault.
That man is sick.
And you are not responsible for any of this.
"I will lay waste to your cities, "so your very enemies who come to live there "will stand aghast at the sight of it.
" All right, PD, we're about to move.
Bring it on.
Copy that, Don.
We'll lay down covering fire on your motion.
All right, let's go, boys, move! Straight! ***! **** Straight! Keep it straight! Move left! Left! Colby, let's go! Guys, go! To the left! Left! Ready? All right, straight back.
Straight back! Nice to meet you now.
The agents are clear.
- Repeat, the agents are clear.
Agents clear! Hold the fire! Abner Stone! This is Agent Don Eppes from the FBI.
You're completely surrounded.
Let's resolve this peacefully.
*** I will set a phone line up for you.
Come on.
**** moving in.
**** cover.
William- The devil is running us a phone line.
Back off, guys! Back off! Don, we got tear gas set to get clear shot through a side window.
No, no.
I don't want tear gas.
We're not another Waco here.
You can't go in there.
You have no idea what they're gonna do, those people.
Rachel, hold on a second.
You gotta go to a hospital! No, I'm not going anywhere.
My shoulder is fine.
I've been waiting to get this guy my whole life! Prophet.
Looks like the raid will move in.
What do you want us to do? We're talking about peace.
Eliah, what I want you to do is: Stand there and cut them down one by one as they come.
Abner You will speak when spoken to! Just talk to them! God has proclaimed that today - today is the day! We will show the world our conviction! Against their impurities! Against their godlessness! He has said that after today, people will flock here.
Here is the beginning of the New City! Wives, go stand behind your husbands.
Abner, there's a lot more of them than us.
Shot fired! Shot fired! Who's got eye? Shooting people who want to leave.
All right, let's go.
We're gonna go.
Guys, come on, let's go! Everybody, we're moving in! Let's move! He was half-hearted.
You saw it.
He was half-hearted! Go stand your positions and cut them down one by one! Women, go to your husbands! Now is the time we make our stand and you are saints! Go.
Nobody shoots unless you have a good sight picture! No! Don, wait.
Somebody's coming out.
You are saints! Whoa, whoa.
What do you got, you see him? I see a flame inside.
Old propane take! Back off! Back off! Get back! Get back! I surrender! Whoa! Get your hands up! Get them up! I surrender to the will of God! Let her go! Let go of her! Get your hands behind your back! Let's go! God bless the Martyrs! God bless the Martyrs! The Martyrs that this government has killed! - Shut your mouth! I'm sorry.
- I know.
You know what? Map blankets were a part of the Underground Railroad.
Really? - Yeah.
They stitched escape routes, so the escaping slaves could find the safe houses.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I worked a while on those cases.
But why in the world would this- Hard to call him a man, is it? Yes, hard to call him a man.
Why would this jerk put his genealogy on a blanket? Trying to rewrite history, I guess.
Cover up his genetic inadequacy.
These poor people.
They were looking for God, and all they did was find this- monster.
What are you doing? Just chatting with Professor Pivitto here.
He's still at that math conference, and he said it really isn't all that exciting.
Oh, really? You mock me, but you know, occasionally these things can be Hey, Donnie! - Hey.
Come sit with us.
Let me grab a beer.
Hey, what's up.
He looks beat.
A lot of people died today, Dad.
Yeah.
But you, you saved this woman and this child! That's something, isn't it? I don't think it ever feels like enough.
Well- Can't save the world, Charlie.
What's the score of the game? I don't know.
You gotta put it on.
Where's the remote? Don't ask me.
Where's the remote, Charlie? I have no clue.
Wha- this is the one that Charlie, where's the other remote?
