Big Love (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 7 - Good Guys and Bad Guys - full transcript

Margene's dysfunctional past is illuminated when her mother Ginger pays a visit. With tensions at a fever pitch as federal agents close in on Orlean Abbot, Bill plays a dangerous game to ...

-Look at me.
-Yeah.

-Hello.
-There you are.

I have been trying to catch you.
Where have you been?

-I'm fine, Mom. How are you?
-Never mind.

-They're repainting.
-What?

They're repainting this stupid
one-bedroom apartment.

It's three coats to cover
these grubby walls.

I can 't stand the fumes.
I'm getting in my car, I'll be there by 3.

-There where?
- Your house.

What the heck? Get off my big duff,
finally come see you.

-T oday?
-No, next year.



My mom' s coming.

All right.

We have to get things right this time.

Things didn't go so well
with Barb's family.

Well, that was just unfortunate.

I want her to get to know Barb
and Nicki first as individuals...

-...then we'll have the conversation.
-Yes...

...then maybe we won't be
damned to hell...

...and I won't be referred to
as the harlot.

I'm excited.

I'm just all....

Me too.

Hello, my darling.

Frank.



You didn't come to see me.

Why should I come to see you?
I'm busy.

And don't you go making
yourself at home. I'm leaving.

You know,
if you'd come rub my feet....

I am not gonna rub your dirty feet.

Lydia Volmer said you had a fur coat.

Nita sees you buying
a brand-new fancy snowmobile.

Looks like we've done
quite a bit of decorating here.

Mamma mia, spicy new furniture.

-Where'd you get this stuff, Lois?
-I bought it.

Where'd you get the money?

-I opened a little Laundromat.
-And where'd you get that?

I don't owe you any explanation.

-Eddie helped me.
-You're in cahoots with that cocksucker?

That was 27 years ago.

-Now, could you just move off it?
-Lois, I'm your lawfully wedded husband.

I'm entitled to 50 percent
of all your possessions, one-half.

Here.

There's 50.

Go on. Beat it.

Why didn't you tell me Roman and the
Greenes were going after Weber Gaming?

What business is it of yours
who the others were?

It's plenty my business
if you give the Greenes my name.

-They branded my ass.
-And I could have protected you.

Hollis and Selma Greene
are terrified of Roman Grant.

Evoke that name, they run away.

Lovely, I'm sure. But it's my company,
and I'm tossing it in the air.

You can all have
a nice free-for-all.

We've got Articles of lncorporation
before the secretary of state.

Thirty days and our deal's done.

And I'll take care of the Greenes.

-This is Hollis Greene.
-Hollis.

-Sir?
-Bill Henrickson.

I spoke with Roman.

I told him of your prior claim
on Weber Gaming.

What did he say?

He refused to reconsider,
despite some dissent from the board.

As you know...

...many board members have historical
and familial ties to Ciudad Greene.

It is an unethical corporate raid.

We have trained
some spectacularly fine men...

...with highly unusual asset strengths.

If we don't prevail on Weber,
we'll crumble.

I sure wish I could do more.

You, sir, have no need to apologize.

You, sir, are a gentleman
and an honorable businessman.

Juniper Creek, however,
is a sinkhole of apostasy.

What are we going to do about it?

Thank you for your time,
very truly yours, Hollis Greene.

Carter, you built Weber Gaming
up from nothing...

...put it in safe hands.

Someone who will protect your legacy.
That's me and you know it.

Do l?

I think there's a case to be made
you're all off your rockers.

No.

I'm the good guy.

Yeah.

You're playing with fire.
You're inciting them, Bill.

I'm exploiting the bad blood
between the Greenes and Roman...

...to make them go away.

There's a fine line between that
and egging them on.

I know what I'm doing.

And this is the backyard.

Oh, lookit.

Lookit, a pool.

Looks just like
the penguins' exhibit at the zoo.

You know how penguins go?

Do you know penguins, Aaron?
They go like this:

March of the Penguins.

Did you take him to see it?

I saw it. You don't have to see it.
They go like this:

I....

I can't believe
you're actually here, Mom.

Had some grandsons to see, didn't l?

And my house. I've never had a home
for you to visit either.

-Kind of crowded back here.
-Oh, we're very close.

I can't wait for you to meet them.

I don't know, Margie. It's not good
to be so close to the neighbors.

Who knows what could happen
and then...

...you're on the outs.

They're great. We're gonna
have dinner with them tonight.

Barb lives in this house.
Nicki lives in this one.

They're kind of conservative.
We don't drink.

Oh, no.
I brought us two bottles of Stoli.

I'm pregnant, Mom.

-That is an old wives' tale.
-And no coffee.

-No caffeine.
-Well...

...at least you can smoke.

Jesus Christ.

Mom, no bad language.
Mom, come on.

But do you love him, Margie?

Tell me you love him.

I love him, Mom.

Then I'm happy.

I'm happy.

March of the Penguins.

FBI Director Dylan
will be in Salt Lake City today.

His visit is part of a nationwide tour
of FBI field offices.

Agents say the director's visit
is not specific to any one event...

...however, the Salt Lake office
is one of the main field offices...

...involved in the manhunt for fugitive
polygamist leader Orlean Abbot.

So we cut out the pictures
and decoupaged them to the mugs.

We stenciled some plates too.
We do an awful lot of projects together.

Sounds like a load of fun.

Oh, it is. We have such a good time.

Tell them about the time
you thought you had a big head...

...and then tell them what I said.

When I was in fifth grade,
I thought I had a big head.

Like this:

She wore her hair to try and hide it.

What'd I say?

Mom said I could have a craniotomy.

There's no such thing.

Right? There's no such thing.

Oh, please, I love her to pieces.

Who wouldn't?

Ginger, Margie and I would like
to welcome you to our home.

Are we gonna pray again?

He likes to pray.

Prayer is not a stranger
in any of our homes, Ginger.

Well, good for you.

Nice beans, Nicki.

This can't be easy for you.

Living between two such
attractive single women.

Nicki has made
a delicious cobbler for dessert.

-I hear you're quite the baker.
-Me?

Mom...

...telephone.

Oh, almost forgot.

If I would have been invited to the wedding,
I would have brought it then, but....

Would you look at your hair.

You have absolutely beautiful hair.

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
And so shiny.

Pizza stone. Thank you.

-Hello, Barb.
-Joey?

I got some good news.
They're discharging Wanda tomorrow.

Joey, that's-- That's wonderful.

I'm really glad.

Yeah, they say she's good now.

But I'm on a run up to ldaho...

...do you think you could go get her
and take her home?

Tomorrow?

Yeah, it meant a lot to her when
you came and visited her at the hospital.

Joey, I don't know.

You know how I feel
about the compound.

It's just two hours there and back.

Well, I need to talk to Bill about it.

Why?

I've never been
to the compound alone.

-Okay.
-No, no, no.

I'll do it.

It's all right.

Barb, thank you.

Do you like Barb and Nicki?

Yeah. They're okay.

But I gotta hand it to you, Margie.

I didn't think you had it in you,
but you did it.

You got the handsome husband...

...kids and the house, a pool.

Your figure.

The whole nine yards.

I tip my hat to you, honey.

Mom.

Thank you.

-They all liked you, I could tell.
-I did good?

-You did great.
-Good.

-Good night, honey.
-Good night, Mom.

-I think we should forget about telling her.
-Why?

You know, it just....

It isn't the right time.

She's only here for another two days.

I think it's enough
we get her to like everyone.

-We can tell her later.
-Don't backpedal, Margene.

I mean, we can't keep this
shameless charade going on forever.

What if she doesn't accept us, Nicki?

Ultimately,
we can't control her response.

But she's your mother, she deserves
to be taken into our confidence.

What if she's not ready?

Whatever you do, I love you, Margie.

Then I made up my mind,
I'll tell her next time.

Happy?

Oh, my God. The whole nine yards.

Who's my baby?

Who's my sweet little baby?

Yes.

-What are you doing?
-Conducting an audit.

I wanna see just exactly
how much money...

...you got in this little enterprise
of yours.

And I want it backed up with records.

I don't have to show you a thing.

Give me my braid.

I wanna see
your bank statements, woman.

-I don't have a bank.
-What are you talking about?

You can't do business
without a bank account.

You can if I say you can.

If you don't have a bank...

...then where are you hiding
all the dough, huh?

Frank.

Frank, I'm warning you.

Where'd you get that thing?

That thing happens to be
your grandson.

I made a couple of calls.

Turns out your brother,
the cocksucker...

...Ieft Canada under some truly
suspicious circumstances.

-Mr. Perry Mason.
-Hey, let me tell you something.

You're gonna tell me
where the loot is...

...or I'm gonna beat you
to kingdom come.

Do you understand that, my darling?

I'm worried there could be
another Waco.

Everyone's nervous.

I'm thinking of sending
Vernie and Jo Jo to Montana...

...to stay with Vernie's sister
till the dust settles.

The worst part is the perception.

That we're all like that.

We shouldn't go after a business that has
the Greenes and Roman squaring-off over it.

We are going after a perfectly legal business
in a perfectly legal way...

...in an industry that is comfortable
with doing business with people like us.

The government is out to wipe us
off the face of the Earth.

They have been for 1 50 years.

And drawing attention to ourselves at this
particular point in time does not feel safe.

We're not Orlean Abbot.
We're not Hollis Greene or Roman Grant.

The only three that want this business
are Roman, the Greenes and you.

What does that say about you?

In gaming there are no
good guys and bad guys...

...just dollars and cents.

Or maybe good guys
shouldn't play this game.

Did you ever think of that?

Good morning.

-I had a wonderful night last night.
-Good.

You know,
we're awfully fond of Margene.

Well, I'm glad.
She needs all the help she can get.

Yeah.

-What do you mean?
-She's so blind.

And so naive.

In what way?

She's always clung to men...

...and the wrong type.

Something's going on
between Bill and Barb.

And from the look of it,
it's been going on for some time.

Oh, I don't think so.

I saw them kissing.

All that so-called praying.

I could tell there was
something about Bill.

Something too good to be true.

Ginger, don't assume things
based on what you think you saw.

Poor Margie.

She's just a simple child.

Always drawn to losers and oddballs.

Well, maybe it isn't exactly
what you think.

What do you mean?

-You know something.
-No, I don't.

-Yes, you do.
-No.

Please tell me what you know
about my baby.

No....

You need to talk to your daughter.

Whatever it is,
Margie will hide it from me.

-Look, I can't, Ginger.
-Please.

I know you care about her.
You've been a good friend.

Barb and Bill are married.

Bill and Margie are married.

What are you telling me?

They all sleep together?

No. We take turns.

We're polygamists.

-Yes....
-Yes what?

Say again.

We're polygamists.

Jesus.

Would you go in
and help get Joey Jr. with me?

I'd rather not see Lois.

It'll make things easier.

She thinks I'm an unfit mother.

Could you come in and back me up?

-Wanda.
-Hi, Lois. I'm back.

-Hello, Lois.
-Barbara.

-What on earth are you doing here?
-I brought Wanda back home.

We came here to get Joey Jr.

Well, he's perfectly fine.
He's napping.

I'd like to see him.

Don't go waking him up, Wanda.

I think she's saying
that she wants her baby, Lois.

Excuse me, is your name Wanda?

Well.

Well, well.

The little loca is back.

Frank...

...I'm sorry for what I did to you.

I learned I was just projecting
my anger onto you.

Take me home, I mean it.
Take me home.

Lay off, Frank.

She deserves a second chance.

I don't believe in second chances.

Lois.

She tried to kill me.

Get.

Put the shotgun away, Lois.

Oh, yes, let's just talk together,
Barbara, that'll work.

Why do you have
to behave that way?

He's my husband.

You think Frank is just some
harmless blowhard, don't you?

You're wrong.

I'll be in the car.

We need to get you
and the baby home.

Talk to accounts receivable,
make sure they're all up to speed.

If there's a problem, we can
just put them on a payment schedule.

Mr. Henrickson?

Hi, I'm Scott Quitman.

I'm a friend of Sarah's.

-Your daughter is in danger.
-Where is she?

No, she's all right,
but Albert Grant has been following her.

I don't know why she doesn't
wanna tell you herself...

...but I guess
she doesn't feel she can.

What is your relationship
to my daughter?

Well, we've....

We've been seeing each other.

Listen, he's followed her twice,
to my knowledge.

Once a couple of weeks ago
and then last week.

Last time, l....

I followed him.

Look, Sarah doesn't know I'm here.

I see.

I just thought I should bring this to you
before the police.

Thank you.

Grandma's here. Hi.

Lunch is served.

So Little Miss Perfect
isn't so perfect anymore.

-What are you talking about?
-I know...

...everything.

I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you.

How could you do this to me?

We are four people
who are devoted to each other.

Spare me the details.

No, Mom, we're gonna be together
in this life and the next.

-Don't make fun of my beliefs.
-It's not a belief, it's perverted.

How is being married
to three people I'm devoted to...

...worse than your
revolving door of boyfriends?

How could you say that to me?

I didn't raise you like this.

Well, let's not talk about
how you raised me, Mom.

-Hi.
-I'm out of here.

You, wait.
How could you do this?

-She made me tell her.
-We talked about it.

Don't pin this on me.
She caught them kissing.

She is your mother, Margie.

At least Nicki
had the guts to tell me.

-Out. Get out. Mom--
-Marge, I can help.

-I want you out of my house now. Mom--
-l, for one, certainly am not staying.

-Marge, we can make this work.
-No, we can't.

You ruined it.

You've ruined everything.
I hope you're happy.

No, Bill.

Don't you ever go near my daughter.

I'm close to all my mothers.

Except my mom.

Oh, you poor baby.

You didn't get all the love
you needed, did you?

What are you doing?

-Talking to Nicki.
-No, not you.

Your mother is staying with me.

-Unbelievable.
-On the day bed.

In my front nook.

You are unbelievable.

She has nowhere else to go.

She lost her job.

The casino let her go.

You aren't staying with Nicki
and not talking to me.

Well, I won't stay with you.

You don't know what she's like.

Look, she just broke up
with her boyfriend.

He's moving
out of her apartment today.

She is a victim
of a permissive culture.

Oh, this is not fair. This is not right.

Marge, one of the advantages of polygamy
is we get to share our mothers.

Oh, shut up, Nicki.

I want you out.

Marge, she's the only mother
we have left.

I like Nicki.

Why do you like Nicki?

You said we were perverted.

Nicki can't help it.

She was born into it.

She's not staying with you.

-Get up. Get up.
-No. No.

Come on, get up.
You are coming in my house.

Mom, stop it.
You're embarrassing me.

Oh, I'm embarrassing you.

I love you, honey, but I can't stand it
when you get like this.

No. No, you cannot go in there.

-I want you to leave.
-Honestly, Marge. For pity's sake.

No. She's not your mother, Nicki...

...and if I say she should go,
she should go.

The fugitive, Orlean Abbot,
was arrested overnight at 4 a.m...

...during a routine traffic stop
in Albuquerque.

Now, of course, we 've been following
this story for months now...

...but finally today, the polygamous leader
has been arrested.

A t the time, he was driving
an unregistered Lexus SUV...

...and also carrying
$ 1 80,000 in cash.

We have Trey Fonseca on the ground
in Salt Lake City.

Trey, what do you have?
What's the latest here?

Larry, we've actually
just received some footage...

...from the New Mexico highway patrol
that shows the aftermath of that arrest.

Now the sideshow.

Weeks of coverage
with our worst face forward.

I heard they're taking him
to Guant?namo.

I can't believe it's come to this.

The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here...

...have consecrated it far above
our poor power to add or detract.

Daddy, what are you doing
home from work?

Teenie, I need to speak
to your sister for a minute.

-What'd you do?
-Nothing.

Scott came by to see me today.

What did he want?

He told me about Alby.

Sarah, why didn't you come to me?

It didn't occur to me
that I should be frightened of my uncle.

You should have told me.

You used to trust me.

Until you're 1 8, away at college,
and in my mind married...

...I'm here to protect you, honey.

You've gotta feel free
to talk to me.

Daddy, how can you protect me
from who we are?

I will protect you from any threat.

Never forget,
you are first in my heart.

-Where's Wanda-Wanda?
-She took Joey Jr. to the park.

Why don't you try leaving her alone?

Where is your husband?

Home.

You really shouldn't be here
without him.

You're a bully
who terrorizes his wives.

Oh, excuse me.

My wives adore me.

You know, in this religion, girlie...

...God gave men the power.

And if you don't like it...

...then perhaps you should
find yourself another religion.

That's your perversion
of this religion.

You think Bill's
so different from me?

You think he's all sunny boy?

When you married Bill, ma'am...

...you married this place.

My husband is nothing like you.

Really?

I see how hard this has been on you.

I told Bill...

...you would never be ready for this.

But he was never gonna change
those stripes.

But you know what?

You almost had him...

...all to yourself.

Almost made it
right under the wire, but:

You know what?
You tell Wanda-Wanda...

...I wanna see her.

-I don't want you there.
-I can't leave her here alone.

And now Joey's not getting back
until midnight, maybe morning, so....

I don't understand why you went there
in the first place.

Well, I just wanted to take care of it
so you wouldn 't have to.

Because every time you come here...

...you bring it back home.

It just doesn't affect me
like it does you.

-Yeah, right.
-lt doesn't.

-It's not a good time for you to be there.
-Why not?

Alone, it just isn't.

I mean, with this Abbot thing
and night patrols...

...and the friction between Nicki
and her family, it's not a pleasant place.

I am aware that it's not
a pleasant place, Bill.

-Who are you talking to?
-Barb.

Wait, just--

Where are you?
I've been waiting for you.

-Where is she?
-I'm at the compound.

-What are you doing at the compound?
-Helping Joey and Wanda.

-What's going on?
-Marge got into a fight with her mom...

-...and she walked out on her.
-What?

I'm trying to smooth things over.
She's staying with me.

What are you telling him?

-Why'd you fight with your mother?
-Nicki told her before I was ready...

...now she hates me and thinks
we've been keeping secrets.

-Nicki.
-Not true.

-I wanna talk to Barb.
-No.

-Hello?
-Hold on, honey.

Hello, are you there?

-Stop it.
-Nicki, what have you done?

-Hey, what's going on?
-Barb?

Yeah, Margie, what's going on?

Nicki doesn't have a mom,
so she's trying to steal mine.

Bill? Bill, are you there?

-I'm here, I'm here.
-You have got to sort this out.

Knock it off, you two. Right now.

Nicki, you're not helping the situation.
Hang up the phone.

Margie, just shape up.

What's gotten into you guys?

I need you to come back home.

No. I won't.

Why are you being
so insistent about this?

Because. You have got to trust
my judgment on this, Bill.

I will be fine. Let me see it through.

I wanna stay.

All right.

Be careful.

Well...

...I gather you think we were
trying to put one over on you.

Yes, I do. What are you
going to do for my daughter?

She's not legally married,
she has no rights.

She has nothing.

There's an irrevocable trust
set up in Margie's name...

...and in each of the children's.

I fund them monthly.

I will always protect Margene.

And if you died tomorrow?

My will is in place that protects
my wives and children.

Medical care?

Covered. COBRA.

You made her keep this
a secret from me.

No, Ginger.

It was Margene's decision.

That's because she knows
she's doing something wrong.

Ginger...

...I want you to feel welcome
in my homes.

I want you to have a wonderful
relationship with my sons...

...your grandchildren.

We want you part of our family.

And I respect
your conflicted feelings...

...but I cannot have you in my houses
reviling my life or my wife...

...not in front of the children.

I love your daughter
too much for that.

I'm sorry you have
to spend the night.

I don't mind.

Shall we turn on the TV?

We're not allowed
to watch it anymore.

But we have a shortwave radio.

Joey likes to listen to ship to shore.

Roger that, skipper.
We're running a course of two magnetic.

ETA to your position
is approximately 20 minutes.

Don't you ever
find it sad here, Wanda?

Yes.

Any place can be sad though,
if it's in you.

Coast Guard to Bravo 1,
we have two, repeat two vessels....

It's so windy.

How come you're so fixated
on helping Joey?

-I'm very fond of Joey.
-ls it because you can't save Bill?

I don't know what you mean.

I just think maybe
Bill's a harder man to love is all.

We have you on a 180 bearing.

We have a vessel en route.
ETA on that is approximately 20 minutes.

I saw your light on
and brought you a pie.

Well, that's so nice.

-That's Barb.
-Oh, hi, Barb.

I'm Kathy.

Joey said what a comfort you were
to him and Wanda.

What did he say?

He said how nice you were.

-What--? What is it?
-Stupid power.

-Hey.
-Hey what?

It's not the circuit breaker.

Maybe the wind, probably.

Except there's a light on by the shed.

Do you have a flashlight?

Someone's out there.

It's Frank, I know it.

Do you have candles,
a flashlight, anything?

Somewhere. I can't see anything.
He's gonna kill me!

-Wanda, get over here.
-He's gonna grab me!

Just stay away from the window
and get in the middle--

No, no, no!

Hey, it's okay, it's-- It's me.

You okay?

Bill called and told me to come here
straight away. What happened?

Oh, Barb. Why are you crying?

It's okay, Barb. Everything's okay.
Everything's fine.

Everything's okay. All right?

You all right?

Yes? May I help you?

Roman Grant, please.

Who are you?

What are you doing back here?

Morning.

How are you feeling?

I'm good.

Thank you.

I'm glad.

You're a good guy, Bill.

Thank you.

We ought to go for a roast beef sandwich,
go dancing sometime, huh?

Hey, come on.

We never got a chance
to dance at your wedding.

I'm glad you're gonna be there
for your grandchildren.

You really understand women,
don't you?

Oh, honey.

-I try.
-Baby, baby.

You're a real stud, Bill.

How come all the good ones
are married?

-Ginger, have you been drinking?
-Yes.

Look, I'm sorry,
but you need to go brush your teeth...

...and go to your daughters.

If you're staying here,
you need to stay at Margie's.

Come on.

You see.

Do you believe me now?

Why did you take her side?

You were being pigheaded.

We're married.

She's my mother too.

-And she likes me.
-Ginger, Ginger, Ginger.

I have got to go to work.

I've gotta go to work, okay?

Gotta go to work.

Why didn't you respect me?

My wishes?

I just think maybe
you don't understand her.

You've known her all of one day.

Still....

Nicki, she has competed
with me my whole life.

Over boyfriends, the spotlight...

...and now my family.

What's she doing?

Well, she's tanked.

Can't you see?

She tipped over. I didn't do anything.

You feeling better?

-How long will this take?
-Soon.

You know, you don't always have
to hold it together, Barb.

How can you raise Joey Jr. here?

When I'm here, it taints
what we're doing at home.

It just makes it feel vile.

Don't blame us for not giving up
on this place.

There was a time before Roman...

...and there'll be a time after.

Honey. Honey.

-Help me.
-Oh, God.

An event has transpired
that supersedes any issues...

...you and I may have
with each other.

I'm aware of Abbot's arrest.

I would hope my tone
communicates an urgency...

...that transcends
the arrest of a pervert.

The Greenes have crawled back
from their disgusting compound in Mexico.

Roman, listen to me--

I'm calling an emergency meeting
of the UEB.

Given your historical ties
with this community...

...I would hope you would come.

It's like a state of siege.

The place is under lockdown.
Guards are everywhere.

They've parked cars and trucks
on the airstrip to keep anyone from landing.

-Where's Barb? I can't get through.
-She's okay, Bill. She took off.

But she's safe?
You're sure she's all right?

She left about 1 5, 20 minutes ago.

Come on.

I want to speak to him,
let me through.

Nobody can speak to him,
I'm sorry.

Well, I demand to speak to him.

I understand,
but it's not gonna happen.

He just went that way.
Tell him Barb Henrickson is here.

We cannot let you in.

-Barbara.
-Hello.

-We're in a crisis situation here.
-I'll be brief.

What you did to me...

...was heartless and cruel.

It was a move toward
living in the light.

You're a false prophet who rules by fear.
I'm not afraid of you.

I am only trying
fitfully and imperfectly...

...to keep the original word alive
on the face of this planet.

You leave my family alone.

I've known Bill all of his life.

I've watched him.

And I'll always watch him.

And by extension,
I will always watch over his family.

You're my family.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Oh, crap. I'm still here.

Not for long, Mom.
I packed your bags.

Mom, I didn't let you know
the truth about us...

...because I didn't want you
in my life.

I know.

And I'm not gonna let you
make me feel bad about my family.

Mom.

I'm happy.

I'm glad for you.

Bill's a good man.

And Nicki, the rest.

You've found a place
where you fit in.

We'll add more children.

Another wife or two.

It doesn't stop.

What do you mean another wife?

Someday, we'll add a fourth wife.

-Do you think that's wise?
-I do.

-Someone young and pretty?
-I suppose.

Honey, no.

You're in the bird-dog seat.
You have all the power.

-It's not about power.
-Of course it is.

Barb and Nicki
think they have the power...

...but they don't.

Trust me on this.

Don't go giving it up so easy.

You hold on to what you got here.

Absolutely.

Assume I'll be packing for home,
did you?

Mr. Big Shot.

I mean, the man is trying
to bring down Roman Grant.

He's trying to bring down
the whole UEB.

UEB is worth $200 million.

The state of Utah
won't touch Roman Grant.

You're gonna bring him down
all by yourself?

Are you kidding me?

Good luck.

Come here.

If I could open up a vein and drain
the half of my blood that is yours...

...I'd gladly do it.

Gentlemen.

The Greenes...

...have invaded and attacked.

This is Hollis Greene.

In these latter days, woes beset us.

Orlean Abbot has been taken down
by our foes.

God has spoken to us on this.

As an exercise
of God's righteous will...

... we, Hollis and Selma Greene...

...have been divinely invested
to step forward into the breach...

...and hereby announce
suzerainty over...

...and demand fealty
of all who follow the principle.

We stand before you highly resolved...

...that all believers in the principle...

...must recognize the rightfulness
of our claims...

... transfer all assets to us,
assign all tithing to us...

...and otherwise submit
to our rightful and singular authority.

We can ill afford an open conflict...

...with the eyes of the government
everywhere upon us.

We must have nothing
to do with them.

No business dealings,
no social intercourse...

...no communication
with them whatsoever.

No exceptions.

Any contact with the Greenes...

...warrants excommunication...

...and blood atonement.

Dear heavenly Father...

...bless Bill, watch over him.

If he is an instrument of your will...

...allow me the fortitude
to be strong for him...

...and nurture him
and offer him the safe harbor...

...the respite he needs
for your designated journey for him.

In the name of Jesus Christ...

...amen.
