Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
I don't want you
talking to them.
The henricksons
are dirty fleas.
They're not
to be trusted.
I'm just trying
to look out for you.
Kiss me.
I knocked.
I guess you didn't hear me.
The D.A. Said he needs
to be convicted now.
And that's what will help me win
money in my civil trial case later.
If you testify,
we'll have no choice.
Everybody in my family
will be forced
to take the stand and
talk about your character.
If your character is impeached,
you'll never see a dime.
Fine.
Say whatever you want.
I won't leave town.
I've put my family
in danger by helping you
and I'm trying to
give you good advice.
If you perjure yourself
on that stand,
your civil trial
will evaporate.
I've contacted a family,
the carters,
in cedar city who will
welcome you into their home.
My business partner knows
them. They're good people.
You can still sue Roman later.
We can do what we talked about.
- When?
- I'll call the carters.
We'll get you on a bus
as quick as we can.
Will you come
with me?
I'll try.
I'm being kicked out of
town. That's just great.
- For how long?
- I don't know how long, Wanda.
Jodean,
we have to leave,
and I don't know when
we'll be able to return.
- Why?
- It's not safe for us here anymore.
If word gets out that I'm
testifying against Roman...
no, don't think about it.
I can't think about itou
Joey was throwing up all
last night from nerves.
I love Wanda, but there's
no telling what she'd do
or who she would tell
if she knew.
I'll call you when
we land somewhere.
Has Frank returned?
No.
We're all worried.
We all think we have
to report it.
I'd like some water,
woman.
Do you think little
digging exercise of yours
is actually
worrying me?
You don't have
the nerve,
so give me
some water.
Drink up.
Mama, I can't
talk long.
The clock is
ticking. We need that name.
- Are you still onboard or not?
- Shut the door, Murphy.
How can you ask me
such a thing?
Because you've been
so hostile to me.
That is so unfair.
You marched in here and
attacked me viciously.
I only said you couldn't put
our children on the stand.
I'm sorry
if I was harsh.
Apology accepted.
Now how soon can you get
the identity of that
last witness?
I don't know. They've locked
all the files in one room
and everybody's
being watched.
Whoever she is,
we need to silence her,
and I don't think you're
trying hard enough.
You're kissing me, but
your mind is somewhere else.
I'm sorry.
Life's a bit complicated
with Nicki's father
on trial.
Shall we go?
There's something I need
to confess to you.
I just want to get it
out in the open.
When you and I were off and
on, I was seeing someone else.
Okay.
But you're not
seeing him anymore?
No.
Well, he's been
out of town,
but now he's back
and he called me.
I plan on telling him
it's over
and that I'm in a
committed relationship now.
He's back?
Yeah.
I'm glad I told you.
Come.
Marge, this is
Ed hemenway.
Yeah?
Sorry to just barge in
like this.
You don't remember me,
do you?
Uh...
about 10 years ago
your mama brought you
to the office
Christmas party...
she got drunk
and you drove us home.
I didn't realize
she still worked for you.
She doesn't.
We stayed close, though.
And she passed...
she died a week ago.
And I'm sorry it took
so long to tell you.
It took a couple days
to find you
and then there was
some time
before the body
was discovered.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm real sorry,
Margene.
How did she?
She tripped going down
into the laundry room
in her apartment
complex
and broke her neck.
Where would you
like her?
She's been cremated?
Her wishes.
She was a real
special woman,
always real friendly
and lively.
She was real proud
of you too.
She talked
about you a lot.
It's okay, honey.
It's okay.
Wanna go to the prom
with me?
We're seniors.
I mean, we should go.
But you think
prom is stupid.
Yeah, I know,
but it's also...
like, I don't want
to look back
and wish I'd gone
or something.
It's our last chance
to dress up
and act like idiots
and play make-believe.
Forget it.
No, I'll go.
I mean, I wanted to go.
It's just
we need dates
and there's only losers
available now, believe me.
Bennie, will you
take me to the prom?
No.
Franky, will you take me if
bennie takes Heather? Please?
I'm not taking
Heather either.
Why are you
such a jerk?
- Why are you even here?
- Because I want her here.
Ben, what do you
want for it?
The denali
for a week.
Fine. Done.
Take Heather.
Why are you
so desperate to go?
You're not gonna win prom queen
in a major upset or something.
Just shut up. All you
have to do is look nice.
Franky?
Take you to the dance?
Yeah, definitely.
We could do worse.
And he says he wants
me to do it? It's ridiculous.
When does he
need it by?
I don't even know.
I can't do it.
Tell him I can get it...
hello.
Iook outside.
Ted and Cindy are
closing up their house
in San antonio.
They're moving back.
Ted has received
a new church calling
as a member of the
presidency of the seventy,
in charge of
the area seventies in Utah.
This is as far
as I'm coming
and I need to get
back inside, mother.
They bought a new house on
east temple... four bathrooms.
How long have they
been back?
Seven weeks. She's been
meaning to call you.
Now don't be hurt.
I'm not hurt.
All I want is for the breach
between you two to be healed,
and it just
keeps growing.
Why are you telling me
all this?
Because Cindy's gotten
involved in eagle forum again.
And?
Well, she knows about
the gambling company.
I foolishly
mentioned it.
Call your sister, please.
Welcome her home.
Mother.
I gotta go.
Don't make me out
to be a tattletale now.
Our dear father in heaven,
it is with deep gratitude
we offer
a benediction
on this service.
So blessed were we
to know ginger.
She was loved
as a mother,
as a grandmother, and we thank
you for her time on earth.
Our hearts are tender today
as we say goodbye.
In the name
of Jesus Christ, amen.
Amen.
Thank you.
That was lovely.
Would you like to say something
about your mother, Margie?
Okay.
Um...
on one birthday we watched
"lawrence of arabia"
which is great,
but, like, four hours long
and then she drank
about a gallon of gin
and then she got
really morose,
and told me she'd never
been cherished by a man.
What else do you
remember about her?
What else?
Oh, she liked you,
Nicki.
And she liked Bill.
We learned that.
Oh, let's face it.
She was a loser
- who got tanked and died in a laundry room.
- Margie.
No, I just want to be honest.
Can we at least do that?
I don't know what to say
about her.
I hope at the end
she wasn't afraid.
Oh, thank you.
I appreciate this.
And I don't mean
to be unfeeling.
She just was never
really there for me.
You are, though.
And I'm very
grateful.
Let's eat.
What am I supposed to do? He
wants a committed relationship.
No, that's not you.
Well it's not you. But I'm
going to see if it is me.
Happy trails.
- Knock it back.
- Ziveli.
- I'll miss you.
- Don't.
You're tense.
So how'd things work out
on the Cindy front?
She's not returning
my calls.
She's having a little
meeting tomorrow.
I guess I need
to force the issue.
I spoke to Rhonda.
She understands it's in her best
interests to go stay with the carters.
Bill, no.
It's too dangerous.
It's witness tampering.
It's obstruction of justice.
That's not
what Lee said.
Fine, it's potentially
all those things.
There's no other way, Barb.
We're stuck.
What's up, sweetie?
I have decided
to go to the prom.
I thought you'd be
happy about it.
I am happy.
I just... I'm...
I'm just
so surprised is all.
You said
you didn't want to go.
So who's the lucky boy?
Franky and Ben.
I had to bribe them.
And Ben would like
the denali for a week.
- A week?
- A week? We can do it. Do it, Bill.
And I wanted to have some
friends over here first.
Friends?
But just us,
here in this house.
Put up the fences.
I want it to be normal.
It's your night.
Whatever you want.
I think we're all finally
entitled to a little normal.
I'm only in town once a
month. See me again in august.
Matt, no. I mean it. Now please go.
Oh.
Oh my God.
- Stop it.
- What?
Hi, Ana. We were
having some jell-o...
- this is my friend Barb.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm Matt.
- And this is-
- Bill. Good to meet you.
What were you saying
about jell-o?
Oh, we had parfaits.
Because I don't know if you know
it, but Margie's mother passed away,
so we all thought
you'd like some jell-o.
So here you go.
Thank you.
That's very thoughtful.
Because the kids
wanted you to know
they were thinking
about you. So we drove
all the way over here just
to make sure you knew that.
If I had known, I
would have brought more.
But how could she
have known, right?
Anyway, we should
be going.
- Well, thanks so much for stopping by.
- Oh, yeah.
Very good to meet you,
Barb, Bill.
Nice folks.
I just don't understand
why we're at a motel.
I said, "the septic tank
isn't backed up at all.
You can tell
when it's backed up
because it stinks. And
you don't run to a motel.
You go out and fix it."
And then he flipped.
- Why would he lie?
- I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
They're tense.
They whisper all the time.
Don't cry. It's okay.
Do you think they want
to put me away?
Of course not.
And I wouldn't let them.
What if Joey is
a one-woman man?
No, Wanda.
He just needs coaching.
Wanda needs to stay
for a few days.
Wanda?
Sure.
Is everything
all right?
Joey is behaving
abominably.
Bill, talk to your brother
about the principle.
It's Ana. She wants
to talk to you.
I'm sure you must have
better things to do
than to talk to me. You
seemed pretty busy over there.
- Please don't be sarcastic.
- You're right. I'll be direct.
You shouldn't toy
with people's emotions.
Are you even a bit aware
of how hypocritical you are?
No, don't pull that. You
knew the arrangement going in.
- For crying out loud, you cheated on me.
- What happened?
You are married
to three other women.
Darn it, Ana,
listen to me.
That's not what this is
all about and you know it.
It was a mistake.
It just happened.
And it's all good and well
to ask me to be celibate
- when you don't have to be.
- What did she do?
You knew what you did
when you were doing it
and now you're just upset
because I found out.
- Bill, calm down.
- No, I won't calm down.
I don't want her around my
boys. She's a sex addict.
- Fine.
- Okay.
- Ana... - I won't
be bulldozed by you.
She hung up on me.
Wanda, I'm sorry
you had to hear all that.
Feels like the devil at work to
me. Did you know about thiguy?
Yeah, he's...
well-built.
I doubt he's
any competition.
Well, I'm not interested
in competing for Ana.
I'm sorry I got you all
into this.
Forgive me.
But it's over.
It's just some dance at her school,
Rhonda. Why is this such a big deal?
She'll make you have sex
with her. She's a whore.
Franky, if this is going
to ruin your life...
she's insane.
Rhonda, they're related.
She doesn't want to date him.
That's frowned upon
in regular society.
- It's just a prom.
Please, Rhonda.
Fine.
I don't care.
It doesn't change
anything between us.
She peed all over
the toilet seat.
You too are a victim
in all this, you know.
Nita got carried away,
but you...
you didn't do a thing.
Perhaps I've
misjudged you, Lois,
and for that you deserve
to be rewarded.
I have a few assets
hidden away.
I could tell you
where they lie.
That kentucky fried chicken
has been real good
for me.
I'd be happy to give you the
combination to the office safe.
Lean in and I'll whisper
the combination to you.
No no, I'll tell.
It's your birthday.
That's the combination,
my dear.
It arrives at 5:45
and Mrs. Carter
will be there to meet you.
Do you have
enough to eat?
How about a magazine
for the ride?
I guess
it's about that time.
- Come on.
- Bill,
- I'm a special girl.
- I know you are, Rhonda.
And I'd make
a wonderful wife.
And if you wanted me,
I could be yours.
Rhonda, don't.
You could ask me
to marry you.
Do it here
and I'll say yes.
You could give me
a canopy bed.
- I can't.
- I could bless you with many children.
Rhonda, you need to go
far away from here,
come on, let's go.
- Let me go.
- You can have a wonderful future.
Everything you're saying
is a bunch of b.s.
I'm gonna win
this civil case
and then I'll be rich
and you'll be sorry.
Whatever money you think you're
gonna get, it won't be that much
and you won't get it for a very
long time. Did they tell you that?
The best chance you have
is to go
and try and make something
substantial of your life...
get an education,
get a job.
I know you can do it.
Here.
The prophet loved me.
He chose me.
Phone trees,
group captains.
Get your updated
phone trees, ladies.
Welcome back
to Utah, cin.
Barbie, oh, my bad.
I've not had a minute
to drop you a line,
but I'm just right now
in the middle of a meeting
and now is not
the best time.
What has mommy
told you?
I'll just go on
inside.
Oh, I don't think so.
Then why don't you tell me
what the meeting is all about?
Oh, it's just a small women's
political discussion group.
Eagle forum?
My foot.
Gail and the church
snuffed out the E.r.a.
She can mobilize 40,000
disgruntled housewives
with the snap
of her fingers.
Fine. We're meeting to
vote on a proposed package
of anti-gaming resolutions
for the state senate.
You just couldn't leave
us alone, could you?
This is a political
action committee,
not a "get Barb
Henrickson club."
And it so happens that my
interest in the issue of gaming
long predates your
acquisition of that company.
Oh, I just bet
it does.
This is my family's future
we're talking about.
Don't you dare go in there
and embarrass me.
I'm a concerned citizen who
wants to educate herself.
You're not dealing with
some inbred compound hick.
I am warning you,
if you go in there
there's no telling
what truths I might tell.
Fine.
Ladies, why don't we
take our seats?
If I knew she was here, I
would have come by last night.
- It's no inconvenience.
- I'm sorry.
We should have called
and let you know.
I saw your truck outside
and I've come to tell you
that I'm not coming
with you.
- You really should apologize, Joey.
- Nicki.
Wanda, I am so sorry
I lost my temper,
but you can't just run out like
that. We've been worried sick.
- Is Joey Jr. With you?
- I didn't misplace him, if that's what you're asking.
- Let's go, honey.
- I hate motels.
And I'm not going anywhere till
you tell me what's going on.
- Darn it, Wanda!
- Okay, Joey, let's go outside.
See, Nicki?
This is Wanda's first time.
When you take on a new wife
you have to...
you have to pay special
attention to the other. I know.
They get a little batty
is all.
Iook, if Wanda doesn't
want to stay at a motel,
if that's gonna set her off,
well, then you're all welcome
to stay here for the time
being, keep the peace.
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
Why not?
Bill, did you ever wonder what
happened with Maggie and Roman?
Joey,
Maggie took
her own life.
As hard as that is,
you can't put
that responsibility
on Roman or anyone else.
Bill, it's not
what mom always said.
She wasn't engaged.
She wasn't pre-placed.
She was married.
And she didn't
want to be.
How do you know that?
She told me.
She called me.
I was off playing football
at the time
and I thought...
I don't know,
I thought everyone else
knew what was best.
I told her
it would all work out.
Iook, this is crazy. You're
all staying here, okay?
At Nicki's.
I just wanted to return
your cooler.
Thank you.
I washed it out.
For the record,
I don't bulldoze.
And I would appreciate it if
you wouldn't hang up on me.
No no no.
You don't get to do that.
We brought you into
our lives and our homes.
And the situation
is unorthodox,
but we trusted you
and you betrayed us
and you don't even have
the decency to be sorry.
I can't believe this.
You hurt Bill.
You really hurt us all.
I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
I was trying to break up
with Matt.
Well, you really
let him down easy.
Doesn't the double standard
bother you...
- Bill saying I'm the cheat?
- Shh!
It's infuriating.
Yes.
Yes.
In the beginning
it can be frustrating.
If this doesn't work,
he has the three of you,
but I lose everything.
Maybe I just wanted to feel that
I have some security in this.
Matt is...
uncomplicated.
Are you in love
with Bill?
I'm in love with Bill
and I could see myself
being happy in your family,
but now I'm...
I don't know
what I'm doing.
I understand.
I suppose you're
the one person who can.
I'm sorry
if I hurt you.
- Ana.
- I'm sorry if I hurt you most of all.
Hey, Ted.
Oh, there's the guy.
Thanks for seeing me, Ted.
Welcome back.
Congratulations,
by the way,
on the presidency
of the seventy.
Thank you.
There's no higher calling
than the dictates
of one's faith.
I guess you and I
can both agree on that.
So Cindy tells me
that Barb
created quite a stink
at eagle forum.
I'm afraid Barb and I
have a different
point of view on it.
Well, I'm sure you didn't
come all the way over here
just to hash out the
squabbles between the girls.
As a matter of fact,
I did,
and I need to ask you
a favor.
This anti-gaming thing
that Cindy's spearheading...
I don't suppose there's any
way of you talking to her?
Cindy has
a mind of her own, Bill.
You and I used to hit the
slots when we skied tahoe.
I still know exactly how
much you lost that night.
Let's do this...
you know Bob hayes?
Introduce me to him.
His committee is reporting
out the two bills.
I can't do that.
But you're a constituent.
He'll take your call.
You know it's all about
relationships.
I'm sorry.
I can't help.
Ted, you were like
a brother to me once.
Do you have
fresh eyes?
Pardon?
We need reinforcements.
Follow me.
Jury education...
the "joy books,"
put together by Roman Grant. It's
a registry of young brides-to-be.
Women are the currency he
trades in to cement his power.
I want you all
to comb through these
and look for any evidence,
any notes, any phone numbers,
anything that we can use to prove
Roman's trafficking activities.
Okay, I need you to highlight
all phone calls dated july 12th.
Sure.
Okay.
Have you eaten?
Well...
you're gonna need
your strength.
I'm so sorry, I have to go.
There's a family emergency.
Is everything
all right?
No, my mother fell down a flight
of stairs into the laundry room.
She's in critical
condition.
I'm so sorry. Do you
need a ride anywhere?
No, thank you.
I just... I need to go.
I swear on our friendship I
didn't know. Please believe me.
If my father finds out,
he'll kill her.
Okay, good.
Let's tell him.
Wanda, we can't
do that.
And no one can know this
information came from me,
especially not
Bill and Barb.
But you can
put a stop to it.
She'll do whatever Joey says
and he'll do whatever you say.
I'm afraid
that's not true anymore.
Do not let his concubine
usurp you like this, Wanda.
They're lying to you.
It's hateful.
I have no say anymore,
Nicki.
Do not take this affront lying
down. You have to do something.
Kathy marquart cannot
testify against my father.
Thank you all
for coming, really.
Girls, it just kills me
that you're at such odds
with each other.
I'll speak.
Oh, okay.
I cherish the time we spent
together as young families.
I wish we could have
that time back again.
Thank you, Bill.
Ted is a softer touch
than me,
but he is
my lord and master,
so let's hear
what you have to say.
We would like you
to back off the legislation.
And so would I.
It's spiteful.
Cindy, we're under such a
strain with the trial right now.
We could be arrested.
The stores could be taken.
When did you get
the grandfather clock?
She asked if she
could have it.
Go on, Bill.
Let's stay focused.
I asked you for that
when daddy died.
You said you wanted
to keep it.
- Well, I did keep it.
- And then she gave it to me.
Cindy, Ted and I
used to gamble.
A lot of good mormons
enjoy it.
- It's true, cin.
- I can't believe you did that.
For Pete's sake, Barbara,
it's just a clock.
Mommy always gave you
everything you wanted, so please.
Now I've always done
my utmost
to make sure that you two were
treated fairly and equally.
You knew how much
that clock meant to me.
I told you
one of my dearest memories
was of daddy winding it
at night.
- All right, then take it.
- No no no.
I am just so sick of the
mean-spiritedness of this family.
Mean-spiritedness?
Okay, fine, I'm leaving.
I didn't come here
to be turned on
when all I'm trying to do
is keep peace in the family.
Right,
so moving forward.
Legislation...
happening.
You can't have
everything, Barb.
And, mother, the next time
you want to speak to me,
you'll have to come
inside my house.
Honey,
honey, you have to
calm down.
I am just
at an end with them...
I mean, the end.
I'm so darn blankety-blank
fed up with how they treat us.
Barb, it's okay.
My wives are truer sisters
to me than she's ever been.
I've never thanked you
for that.
Come on.
Ana's in love with you.
What?
She told me she's fallen
in love with you.
Barb-
she's scared.
People make mistakes.
They fall and stumble,
especially around love.
I shut the door
there, Barb.
It doesn't
just concern you.
And I forgive her.
Bill, I like her.
You like her?
Yes.
And I like
that I like her.
Will you go to her?
I can't.
That's exactly right.
Like any good roller coaster,
the Grant trial has had so
many twists and turns thus far.
And in a big
development,
the identities of
the Jane doe witnesses
in the Roman Grant case
have been released.
The defense held
a press conference stating
that the order of anonymity
was so patently in violation
of the sixth amendment's right
to confront one's accuser,
it borders
on judicial incompetence.
Roman's threatening me, I crawled into
the gutter to get Rhonda out of town,
and now you're telling me
that kathy is testifying too?
I'm sorry we kept it secret.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
But if kathy says she needs
to do this, then she does.
I'm only moving mountains
to stay out of this.
What?
Why didn't you trust me?
Why didn't you tell me?
I just wanted
to protect you.
But you're putting us in danger.
Kathy's in a lot of trouble, Joey.
- We can't help her.
- We have to try.
We'll incur the wrath
of the prophet.
Is that what you want? You want
to wake up and find my throat cut?
I'm so sorry,
everyone.
Kathy, one person
is not gonna bring down
the juniper creek
machine.
Rhonda's pulled out.
It's up to you now.
Bill, the kids are here.
Bill,
the kids are here.
- Ready?
- Yes, ready, honey.
- Look at you two.
- You look beautiful.
- One of us together.
- Yes yes yes. Ben, smile.
Here we are, kids.
We're going
to the prom!
Franky!
Oh my God.
Franky!
You said she was gone.
You said she left.
You took him from me!
He's mine!
- Drive. Drive.
- No, take me!
Franky, please don't
leave me here!
I should be with you!
That's my girl.
- Can we go swimming too?
- No, honey, it's too late.
But aunt Wanda is.
Wanda, oh my God!
Wanda?
- I got her.
- Can you hear me, Wanda?
- She's breathing. She's breathing.
- Wanda!
I'll take her over there.
I got her. She's okay.
- What happened?
- Oh my God, oh my God.
Wanda, are you okay, honey?
What happened?
Do you love her
more than me?
Joey, do you love
her more than me?
Angel, no.
No one can take your place
in my heart, baby.
No.
Dude, you have to
pull it together.
I shouldn't have left
Rhonda there.
Come on,
Sara's waiting.
Your sister
is so beautiful.
I know she's your sister,
so forget that.
I didn't mean it
that way, okay?
I just... I mean,
what do girls expect?
Are we supposed
to have sex with them?
No, man.
It's okay.
All right,
you got it.
Okay, who's next?
Hey.
He can't do it. He's a
mess. I'm really sorry.
No, it's fine.
I knew this whole thing
was a really terrible idea.
Come on.
No.
Ben, no.
You should have
a prom picture.
Aw, look,
he's with his sister.
- They're in love.
- Shut up.
Hey, why don't you kiss
your sister? Plygy love!
Shut the effing "h" up.
Wait. Sorry.
Take it again.
I wasn't ready.
Just take it again.
Smile.
- What's this?
- It's a xanax. Take it.
I'm sorry, everyone.
I just...
the pressure became
too much for me.
Nicki wanted me to get
kathy not to testify.
- I'm sorry, Nicki.
- It's dangerous.
It's dangerous for her
and it's dangerous for us.
I'm sure your concerns didn't
have to do with our safety.
Kathy, I don't know what
you hope to get out of this
- but we all know this is a
trumped-up charge. - No, it isn't.
When I was 14
my first husband Ron
chose me
out of the joy books.
- He was 52.
- You don't have to do this, honey.
I went to Roman.
I told him
I wasn't ready
for man-wife intimacy.
Every part of my heart
said that I wasn't ready,
but Roman is God's voice
on earth, so I listened.
It's all right.
We were sealed.
I was told I wouldn't have
to consummate our relations
until I was ready,
but Ron grew impatient.
I went back to Roman.
Once, twice I knelt down
by his side and I cried
and I told him that I
didn't think I could do it.
He told me that
I must be obedient,
that obedience
is freedom.
He sent me back
to Ron.
Finally, I didn't know
how to resist anymore.
And so I shut my eyes
and took my clothes off
and let Ron do it.
It happened
to you too, Nicki.
Don't, Wanda.
You were forced to marry a
man you hated when you were 15.
No. That was
my choice.
You used to tell me you
couldn't bear to be around J.J.
And that he made
your skin crawl.
The only difference is that
Roman eventually unsealed you.
- Nicki, why didn't you tell me?
- Leave me alone.
- There's nothing to be ashamed of.
- Nicki.
They can twist this around as much as
they like, but this is about us too.
It's about the sanctity
of the principle.
And not one bit of what
Wanda said about me is true.
Marge?
What are you
doing here?
I just thought I should
catch up on some work.
Are you okay?
You know, you really
didn't have to come in.
How is she?
Your mom...
how is she doing?
They think she's going
to be okay.
Oh, gosh. I'm sorry,
sweetie. I'm just...
I get you've really been
through it today, huh?
It's okay.
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, shh.
She's gonna be okay.
I think you should probably
go home and get some rest.
I think
I'd rather keep busy,
keep my mind
off things.
Well, would you mind listening
to my opening argument?
Okay.
Okay?
Okay, all right.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
I would like to start by
thanking you for your time.
I know it's valuable to you
and I don't intend to waste it.
The defense is going to tell you
that this trial is about many things.
They'll tell you that it's about
religious freedom, persecution.
They'll say it's another
case of the government
intruding into
private matters.
They'll say it's everything except
the one thing that it's about...
Roman Grant's criminal
exploitation of girls...
what's this
supposed to be,
some kind
of seduction?
It's your last meal,
Frank.
I know
you like chicken.
We both know
you'd never let me go.
I don't want
to do it,
but I have to.
You're too vengeful.
Yes, I am.
Do you remember
the time
- when you were pregnant with Bill...
- don't.
...and we drove down
to Mexico?
Don't try
and soften me.
I remember
how excited you were
about carrying
my child.
This isn't easy
for me.
Oh, come on.
You've got one positively
wonderful memory
in there someplace.
Outside my
father's house.
You asked me to come
outside and kiss you.
Yeah, I remember that.
When are you going
to do it?
Now.
I'll fight you.
I'll scratch, I'll kick,
I'll scream.
I know.
It's not
gonna be easy.
What are you doing?
You don't have to do this.
You'll never be washed
of this sin.
I'm ordering you
as your husband,
do not do this.
You cannot do this.
You don't have to. I'm not gonna
hurt you. You don't have to do this.
I'm the father
of your children!
What?
Yes, hello.
- Mom.
- What?
Are you okay?
What? Yes.
What do you want?
I just...
I wanted to know
what happened with Maggie.
What are you
talking about?
Her suicide.
She was married,
wasn't she,
against her will?
Hello?
I'm here.
It was her only
way out.
I'm so glad
you asked to see me.
I thought I'd never
see you again.
Are you going
to try and hurt me?
Please believe me,
after all
you've put me through
I still love you.
I'm not the same girl
I was then.
Oh, yes, you're still
the same beautiful...
what would you give me
not to testify?
I can find you
wherever you go, Rhonda.
I want $100,000.
I can bring you back
to our heavenly father.
$50,000.
I can offer you
greater riches.
Oh, watch your hands.
Watch your fingers.
Am I a good man, Barb?
Why are you
asking me that now?
Yes.
I believe
you're a good man.
I thought
that if I just
lived the principle
with honor,
if we made
these sacrifices
because it was the true
path of our heavenly father...
you're a loving man.
I thought that if I protected
my family, the ones I love...
that that was enough.
It's not.
What Roman's done...
it's evil.
It's evil.
It's contaminated me.
I have to...
darling, I have to...
we have to stand up
against it.
We have to, no matter
what it costs us.
Come to bed.
It's 4:00
in the morning.
I was jealous.
Of course
you were jealous.
It's only natural,
right?
I'm trying to be
a better man than that.
I'm demanding.
I have a temper.
I know.
I like that.
Margie and Barb and Nicki
work as they are.
- What if we wreck it?
- We won't.
- What if we do?
- Ana, I'm in love with you.
We should both be brave.
Let's be brave and leap.
Stop watching them.
Hey, stop it.
Stop that.
My nose is cold.
Want my jacket?
- Did you have fun?
- Thank you.
For everything.
You're a good brother.
Yeah.
I made this terrible
night possible.
Honestly, I'm just glad
I went.
My uncle took me, got drunk and
made out with my best friend,
and I'm stuck here
with you.
As long
as you're happy.
I'm pregnant.
What?
I'm pregnant.
Don't tell anybody.
Sarah-
don't, Ben.
Just do me a favor and don't
say anything right now, okay?
I wanted to tell you
and I told you
and now I don't want
to talk about it.
Please.
It's my prom night.
Watch the sunrise.
---
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
I don't want you
talking to them.
The henricksons
are dirty fleas.
They're not
to be trusted.
I'm just trying
to look out for you.
Kiss me.
I knocked.
I guess you didn't hear me.
The D.A. Said he needs
to be convicted now.
And that's what will help me win
money in my civil trial case later.
If you testify,
we'll have no choice.
Everybody in my family
will be forced
to take the stand and
talk about your character.
If your character is impeached,
you'll never see a dime.
Fine.
Say whatever you want.
I won't leave town.
I've put my family
in danger by helping you
and I'm trying to
give you good advice.
If you perjure yourself
on that stand,
your civil trial
will evaporate.
I've contacted a family,
the carters,
in cedar city who will
welcome you into their home.
My business partner knows
them. They're good people.
You can still sue Roman later.
We can do what we talked about.
- When?
- I'll call the carters.
We'll get you on a bus
as quick as we can.
Will you come
with me?
I'll try.
I'm being kicked out of
town. That's just great.
- For how long?
- I don't know how long, Wanda.
Jodean,
we have to leave,
and I don't know when
we'll be able to return.
- Why?
- It's not safe for us here anymore.
If word gets out that I'm
testifying against Roman...
no, don't think about it.
I can't think about itou
Joey was throwing up all
last night from nerves.
I love Wanda, but there's
no telling what she'd do
or who she would tell
if she knew.
I'll call you when
we land somewhere.
Has Frank returned?
No.
We're all worried.
We all think we have
to report it.
I'd like some water,
woman.
Do you think little
digging exercise of yours
is actually
worrying me?
You don't have
the nerve,
so give me
some water.
Drink up.
Mama, I can't
talk long.
The clock is
ticking. We need that name.
- Are you still onboard or not?
- Shut the door, Murphy.
How can you ask me
such a thing?
Because you've been
so hostile to me.
That is so unfair.
You marched in here and
attacked me viciously.
I only said you couldn't put
our children on the stand.
I'm sorry
if I was harsh.
Apology accepted.
Now how soon can you get
the identity of that
last witness?
I don't know. They've locked
all the files in one room
and everybody's
being watched.
Whoever she is,
we need to silence her,
and I don't think you're
trying hard enough.
You're kissing me, but
your mind is somewhere else.
I'm sorry.
Life's a bit complicated
with Nicki's father
on trial.
Shall we go?
There's something I need
to confess to you.
I just want to get it
out in the open.
When you and I were off and
on, I was seeing someone else.
Okay.
But you're not
seeing him anymore?
No.
Well, he's been
out of town,
but now he's back
and he called me.
I plan on telling him
it's over
and that I'm in a
committed relationship now.
He's back?
Yeah.
I'm glad I told you.
Come.
Marge, this is
Ed hemenway.
Yeah?
Sorry to just barge in
like this.
You don't remember me,
do you?
Uh...
about 10 years ago
your mama brought you
to the office
Christmas party...
she got drunk
and you drove us home.
I didn't realize
she still worked for you.
She doesn't.
We stayed close, though.
And she passed...
she died a week ago.
And I'm sorry it took
so long to tell you.
It took a couple days
to find you
and then there was
some time
before the body
was discovered.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm real sorry,
Margene.
How did she?
She tripped going down
into the laundry room
in her apartment
complex
and broke her neck.
Where would you
like her?
She's been cremated?
Her wishes.
She was a real
special woman,
always real friendly
and lively.
She was real proud
of you too.
She talked
about you a lot.
It's okay, honey.
It's okay.
Wanna go to the prom
with me?
We're seniors.
I mean, we should go.
But you think
prom is stupid.
Yeah, I know,
but it's also...
like, I don't want
to look back
and wish I'd gone
or something.
It's our last chance
to dress up
and act like idiots
and play make-believe.
Forget it.
No, I'll go.
I mean, I wanted to go.
It's just
we need dates
and there's only losers
available now, believe me.
Bennie, will you
take me to the prom?
No.
Franky, will you take me if
bennie takes Heather? Please?
I'm not taking
Heather either.
Why are you
such a jerk?
- Why are you even here?
- Because I want her here.
Ben, what do you
want for it?
The denali
for a week.
Fine. Done.
Take Heather.
Why are you
so desperate to go?
You're not gonna win prom queen
in a major upset or something.
Just shut up. All you
have to do is look nice.
Franky?
Take you to the dance?
Yeah, definitely.
We could do worse.
And he says he wants
me to do it? It's ridiculous.
When does he
need it by?
I don't even know.
I can't do it.
Tell him I can get it...
hello.
Iook outside.
Ted and Cindy are
closing up their house
in San antonio.
They're moving back.
Ted has received
a new church calling
as a member of the
presidency of the seventy,
in charge of
the area seventies in Utah.
This is as far
as I'm coming
and I need to get
back inside, mother.
They bought a new house on
east temple... four bathrooms.
How long have they
been back?
Seven weeks. She's been
meaning to call you.
Now don't be hurt.
I'm not hurt.
All I want is for the breach
between you two to be healed,
and it just
keeps growing.
Why are you telling me
all this?
Because Cindy's gotten
involved in eagle forum again.
And?
Well, she knows about
the gambling company.
I foolishly
mentioned it.
Call your sister, please.
Welcome her home.
Mother.
I gotta go.
Don't make me out
to be a tattletale now.
Our dear father in heaven,
it is with deep gratitude
we offer
a benediction
on this service.
So blessed were we
to know ginger.
She was loved
as a mother,
as a grandmother, and we thank
you for her time on earth.
Our hearts are tender today
as we say goodbye.
In the name
of Jesus Christ, amen.
Amen.
Thank you.
That was lovely.
Would you like to say something
about your mother, Margie?
Okay.
Um...
on one birthday we watched
"lawrence of arabia"
which is great,
but, like, four hours long
and then she drank
about a gallon of gin
and then she got
really morose,
and told me she'd never
been cherished by a man.
What else do you
remember about her?
What else?
Oh, she liked you,
Nicki.
And she liked Bill.
We learned that.
Oh, let's face it.
She was a loser
- who got tanked and died in a laundry room.
- Margie.
No, I just want to be honest.
Can we at least do that?
I don't know what to say
about her.
I hope at the end
she wasn't afraid.
Oh, thank you.
I appreciate this.
And I don't mean
to be unfeeling.
She just was never
really there for me.
You are, though.
And I'm very
grateful.
Let's eat.
What am I supposed to do? He
wants a committed relationship.
No, that's not you.
Well it's not you. But I'm
going to see if it is me.
Happy trails.
- Knock it back.
- Ziveli.
- I'll miss you.
- Don't.
You're tense.
So how'd things work out
on the Cindy front?
She's not returning
my calls.
She's having a little
meeting tomorrow.
I guess I need
to force the issue.
I spoke to Rhonda.
She understands it's in her best
interests to go stay with the carters.
Bill, no.
It's too dangerous.
It's witness tampering.
It's obstruction of justice.
That's not
what Lee said.
Fine, it's potentially
all those things.
There's no other way, Barb.
We're stuck.
What's up, sweetie?
I have decided
to go to the prom.
I thought you'd be
happy about it.
I am happy.
I just... I'm...
I'm just
so surprised is all.
You said
you didn't want to go.
So who's the lucky boy?
Franky and Ben.
I had to bribe them.
And Ben would like
the denali for a week.
- A week?
- A week? We can do it. Do it, Bill.
And I wanted to have some
friends over here first.
Friends?
But just us,
here in this house.
Put up the fences.
I want it to be normal.
It's your night.
Whatever you want.
I think we're all finally
entitled to a little normal.
I'm only in town once a
month. See me again in august.
Matt, no. I mean it. Now please go.
Oh.
Oh my God.
- Stop it.
- What?
Hi, Ana. We were
having some jell-o...
- this is my friend Barb.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm Matt.
- And this is-
- Bill. Good to meet you.
What were you saying
about jell-o?
Oh, we had parfaits.
Because I don't know if you know
it, but Margie's mother passed away,
so we all thought
you'd like some jell-o.
So here you go.
Thank you.
That's very thoughtful.
Because the kids
wanted you to know
they were thinking
about you. So we drove
all the way over here just
to make sure you knew that.
If I had known, I
would have brought more.
But how could she
have known, right?
Anyway, we should
be going.
- Well, thanks so much for stopping by.
- Oh, yeah.
Very good to meet you,
Barb, Bill.
Nice folks.
I just don't understand
why we're at a motel.
I said, "the septic tank
isn't backed up at all.
You can tell
when it's backed up
because it stinks. And
you don't run to a motel.
You go out and fix it."
And then he flipped.
- Why would he lie?
- I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
They're tense.
They whisper all the time.
Don't cry. It's okay.
Do you think they want
to put me away?
Of course not.
And I wouldn't let them.
What if Joey is
a one-woman man?
No, Wanda.
He just needs coaching.
Wanda needs to stay
for a few days.
Wanda?
Sure.
Is everything
all right?
Joey is behaving
abominably.
Bill, talk to your brother
about the principle.
It's Ana. She wants
to talk to you.
I'm sure you must have
better things to do
than to talk to me. You
seemed pretty busy over there.
- Please don't be sarcastic.
- You're right. I'll be direct.
You shouldn't toy
with people's emotions.
Are you even a bit aware
of how hypocritical you are?
No, don't pull that. You
knew the arrangement going in.
- For crying out loud, you cheated on me.
- What happened?
You are married
to three other women.
Darn it, Ana,
listen to me.
That's not what this is
all about and you know it.
It was a mistake.
It just happened.
And it's all good and well
to ask me to be celibate
- when you don't have to be.
- What did she do?
You knew what you did
when you were doing it
and now you're just upset
because I found out.
- Bill, calm down.
- No, I won't calm down.
I don't want her around my
boys. She's a sex addict.
- Fine.
- Okay.
- Ana... - I won't
be bulldozed by you.
She hung up on me.
Wanda, I'm sorry
you had to hear all that.
Feels like the devil at work to
me. Did you know about thiguy?
Yeah, he's...
well-built.
I doubt he's
any competition.
Well, I'm not interested
in competing for Ana.
I'm sorry I got you all
into this.
Forgive me.
But it's over.
It's just some dance at her school,
Rhonda. Why is this such a big deal?
She'll make you have sex
with her. She's a whore.
Franky, if this is going
to ruin your life...
she's insane.
Rhonda, they're related.
She doesn't want to date him.
That's frowned upon
in regular society.
- It's just a prom.
Please, Rhonda.
Fine.
I don't care.
It doesn't change
anything between us.
She peed all over
the toilet seat.
You too are a victim
in all this, you know.
Nita got carried away,
but you...
you didn't do a thing.
Perhaps I've
misjudged you, Lois,
and for that you deserve
to be rewarded.
I have a few assets
hidden away.
I could tell you
where they lie.
That kentucky fried chicken
has been real good
for me.
I'd be happy to give you the
combination to the office safe.
Lean in and I'll whisper
the combination to you.
No no, I'll tell.
It's your birthday.
That's the combination,
my dear.
It arrives at 5:45
and Mrs. Carter
will be there to meet you.
Do you have
enough to eat?
How about a magazine
for the ride?
I guess
it's about that time.
- Come on.
- Bill,
- I'm a special girl.
- I know you are, Rhonda.
And I'd make
a wonderful wife.
And if you wanted me,
I could be yours.
Rhonda, don't.
You could ask me
to marry you.
Do it here
and I'll say yes.
You could give me
a canopy bed.
- I can't.
- I could bless you with many children.
Rhonda, you need to go
far away from here,
come on, let's go.
- Let me go.
- You can have a wonderful future.
Everything you're saying
is a bunch of b.s.
I'm gonna win
this civil case
and then I'll be rich
and you'll be sorry.
Whatever money you think you're
gonna get, it won't be that much
and you won't get it for a very
long time. Did they tell you that?
The best chance you have
is to go
and try and make something
substantial of your life...
get an education,
get a job.
I know you can do it.
Here.
The prophet loved me.
He chose me.
Phone trees,
group captains.
Get your updated
phone trees, ladies.
Welcome back
to Utah, cin.
Barbie, oh, my bad.
I've not had a minute
to drop you a line,
but I'm just right now
in the middle of a meeting
and now is not
the best time.
What has mommy
told you?
I'll just go on
inside.
Oh, I don't think so.
Then why don't you tell me
what the meeting is all about?
Oh, it's just a small women's
political discussion group.
Eagle forum?
My foot.
Gail and the church
snuffed out the E.r.a.
She can mobilize 40,000
disgruntled housewives
with the snap
of her fingers.
Fine. We're meeting to
vote on a proposed package
of anti-gaming resolutions
for the state senate.
You just couldn't leave
us alone, could you?
This is a political
action committee,
not a "get Barb
Henrickson club."
And it so happens that my
interest in the issue of gaming
long predates your
acquisition of that company.
Oh, I just bet
it does.
This is my family's future
we're talking about.
Don't you dare go in there
and embarrass me.
I'm a concerned citizen who
wants to educate herself.
You're not dealing with
some inbred compound hick.
I am warning you,
if you go in there
there's no telling
what truths I might tell.
Fine.
Ladies, why don't we
take our seats?
If I knew she was here, I
would have come by last night.
- It's no inconvenience.
- I'm sorry.
We should have called
and let you know.
I saw your truck outside
and I've come to tell you
that I'm not coming
with you.
- You really should apologize, Joey.
- Nicki.
Wanda, I am so sorry
I lost my temper,
but you can't just run out like
that. We've been worried sick.
- Is Joey Jr. With you?
- I didn't misplace him, if that's what you're asking.
- Let's go, honey.
- I hate motels.
And I'm not going anywhere till
you tell me what's going on.
- Darn it, Wanda!
- Okay, Joey, let's go outside.
See, Nicki?
This is Wanda's first time.
When you take on a new wife
you have to...
you have to pay special
attention to the other. I know.
They get a little batty
is all.
Iook, if Wanda doesn't
want to stay at a motel,
if that's gonna set her off,
well, then you're all welcome
to stay here for the time
being, keep the peace.
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
Why not?
Bill, did you ever wonder what
happened with Maggie and Roman?
Joey,
Maggie took
her own life.
As hard as that is,
you can't put
that responsibility
on Roman or anyone else.
Bill, it's not
what mom always said.
She wasn't engaged.
She wasn't pre-placed.
She was married.
And she didn't
want to be.
How do you know that?
She told me.
She called me.
I was off playing football
at the time
and I thought...
I don't know,
I thought everyone else
knew what was best.
I told her
it would all work out.
Iook, this is crazy. You're
all staying here, okay?
At Nicki's.
I just wanted to return
your cooler.
Thank you.
I washed it out.
For the record,
I don't bulldoze.
And I would appreciate it if
you wouldn't hang up on me.
No no no.
You don't get to do that.
We brought you into
our lives and our homes.
And the situation
is unorthodox,
but we trusted you
and you betrayed us
and you don't even have
the decency to be sorry.
I can't believe this.
You hurt Bill.
You really hurt us all.
I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
I was trying to break up
with Matt.
Well, you really
let him down easy.
Doesn't the double standard
bother you...
- Bill saying I'm the cheat?
- Shh!
It's infuriating.
Yes.
Yes.
In the beginning
it can be frustrating.
If this doesn't work,
he has the three of you,
but I lose everything.
Maybe I just wanted to feel that
I have some security in this.
Matt is...
uncomplicated.
Are you in love
with Bill?
I'm in love with Bill
and I could see myself
being happy in your family,
but now I'm...
I don't know
what I'm doing.
I understand.
I suppose you're
the one person who can.
I'm sorry
if I hurt you.
- Ana.
- I'm sorry if I hurt you most of all.
Hey, Ted.
Oh, there's the guy.
Thanks for seeing me, Ted.
Welcome back.
Congratulations,
by the way,
on the presidency
of the seventy.
Thank you.
There's no higher calling
than the dictates
of one's faith.
I guess you and I
can both agree on that.
So Cindy tells me
that Barb
created quite a stink
at eagle forum.
I'm afraid Barb and I
have a different
point of view on it.
Well, I'm sure you didn't
come all the way over here
just to hash out the
squabbles between the girls.
As a matter of fact,
I did,
and I need to ask you
a favor.
This anti-gaming thing
that Cindy's spearheading...
I don't suppose there's any
way of you talking to her?
Cindy has
a mind of her own, Bill.
You and I used to hit the
slots when we skied tahoe.
I still know exactly how
much you lost that night.
Let's do this...
you know Bob hayes?
Introduce me to him.
His committee is reporting
out the two bills.
I can't do that.
But you're a constituent.
He'll take your call.
You know it's all about
relationships.
I'm sorry.
I can't help.
Ted, you were like
a brother to me once.
Do you have
fresh eyes?
Pardon?
We need reinforcements.
Follow me.
Jury education...
the "joy books,"
put together by Roman Grant. It's
a registry of young brides-to-be.
Women are the currency he
trades in to cement his power.
I want you all
to comb through these
and look for any evidence,
any notes, any phone numbers,
anything that we can use to prove
Roman's trafficking activities.
Okay, I need you to highlight
all phone calls dated july 12th.
Sure.
Okay.
Have you eaten?
Well...
you're gonna need
your strength.
I'm so sorry, I have to go.
There's a family emergency.
Is everything
all right?
No, my mother fell down a flight
of stairs into the laundry room.
She's in critical
condition.
I'm so sorry. Do you
need a ride anywhere?
No, thank you.
I just... I need to go.
I swear on our friendship I
didn't know. Please believe me.
If my father finds out,
he'll kill her.
Okay, good.
Let's tell him.
Wanda, we can't
do that.
And no one can know this
information came from me,
especially not
Bill and Barb.
But you can
put a stop to it.
She'll do whatever Joey says
and he'll do whatever you say.
I'm afraid
that's not true anymore.
Do not let his concubine
usurp you like this, Wanda.
They're lying to you.
It's hateful.
I have no say anymore,
Nicki.
Do not take this affront lying
down. You have to do something.
Kathy marquart cannot
testify against my father.
Thank you all
for coming, really.
Girls, it just kills me
that you're at such odds
with each other.
I'll speak.
Oh, okay.
I cherish the time we spent
together as young families.
I wish we could have
that time back again.
Thank you, Bill.
Ted is a softer touch
than me,
but he is
my lord and master,
so let's hear
what you have to say.
We would like you
to back off the legislation.
And so would I.
It's spiteful.
Cindy, we're under such a
strain with the trial right now.
We could be arrested.
The stores could be taken.
When did you get
the grandfather clock?
She asked if she
could have it.
Go on, Bill.
Let's stay focused.
I asked you for that
when daddy died.
You said you wanted
to keep it.
- Well, I did keep it.
- And then she gave it to me.
Cindy, Ted and I
used to gamble.
A lot of good mormons
enjoy it.
- It's true, cin.
- I can't believe you did that.
For Pete's sake, Barbara,
it's just a clock.
Mommy always gave you
everything you wanted, so please.
Now I've always done
my utmost
to make sure that you two were
treated fairly and equally.
You knew how much
that clock meant to me.
I told you
one of my dearest memories
was of daddy winding it
at night.
- All right, then take it.
- No no no.
I am just so sick of the
mean-spiritedness of this family.
Mean-spiritedness?
Okay, fine, I'm leaving.
I didn't come here
to be turned on
when all I'm trying to do
is keep peace in the family.
Right,
so moving forward.
Legislation...
happening.
You can't have
everything, Barb.
And, mother, the next time
you want to speak to me,
you'll have to come
inside my house.
Honey,
honey, you have to
calm down.
I am just
at an end with them...
I mean, the end.
I'm so darn blankety-blank
fed up with how they treat us.
Barb, it's okay.
My wives are truer sisters
to me than she's ever been.
I've never thanked you
for that.
Come on.
Ana's in love with you.
What?
She told me she's fallen
in love with you.
Barb-
she's scared.
People make mistakes.
They fall and stumble,
especially around love.
I shut the door
there, Barb.
It doesn't
just concern you.
And I forgive her.
Bill, I like her.
You like her?
Yes.
And I like
that I like her.
Will you go to her?
I can't.
That's exactly right.
Like any good roller coaster,
the Grant trial has had so
many twists and turns thus far.
And in a big
development,
the identities of
the Jane doe witnesses
in the Roman Grant case
have been released.
The defense held
a press conference stating
that the order of anonymity
was so patently in violation
of the sixth amendment's right
to confront one's accuser,
it borders
on judicial incompetence.
Roman's threatening me, I crawled into
the gutter to get Rhonda out of town,
and now you're telling me
that kathy is testifying too?
I'm sorry we kept it secret.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
But if kathy says she needs
to do this, then she does.
I'm only moving mountains
to stay out of this.
What?
Why didn't you trust me?
Why didn't you tell me?
I just wanted
to protect you.
But you're putting us in danger.
Kathy's in a lot of trouble, Joey.
- We can't help her.
- We have to try.
We'll incur the wrath
of the prophet.
Is that what you want? You want
to wake up and find my throat cut?
I'm so sorry,
everyone.
Kathy, one person
is not gonna bring down
the juniper creek
machine.
Rhonda's pulled out.
It's up to you now.
Bill, the kids are here.
Bill,
the kids are here.
- Ready?
- Yes, ready, honey.
- Look at you two.
- You look beautiful.
- One of us together.
- Yes yes yes. Ben, smile.
Here we are, kids.
We're going
to the prom!
Franky!
Oh my God.
Franky!
You said she was gone.
You said she left.
You took him from me!
He's mine!
- Drive. Drive.
- No, take me!
Franky, please don't
leave me here!
I should be with you!
That's my girl.
- Can we go swimming too?
- No, honey, it's too late.
But aunt Wanda is.
Wanda, oh my God!
Wanda?
- I got her.
- Can you hear me, Wanda?
- She's breathing. She's breathing.
- Wanda!
I'll take her over there.
I got her. She's okay.
- What happened?
- Oh my God, oh my God.
Wanda, are you okay, honey?
What happened?
Do you love her
more than me?
Joey, do you love
her more than me?
Angel, no.
No one can take your place
in my heart, baby.
No.
Dude, you have to
pull it together.
I shouldn't have left
Rhonda there.
Come on,
Sara's waiting.
Your sister
is so beautiful.
I know she's your sister,
so forget that.
I didn't mean it
that way, okay?
I just... I mean,
what do girls expect?
Are we supposed
to have sex with them?
No, man.
It's okay.
All right,
you got it.
Okay, who's next?
Hey.
He can't do it. He's a
mess. I'm really sorry.
No, it's fine.
I knew this whole thing
was a really terrible idea.
Come on.
No.
Ben, no.
You should have
a prom picture.
Aw, look,
he's with his sister.
- They're in love.
- Shut up.
Hey, why don't you kiss
your sister? Plygy love!
Shut the effing "h" up.
Wait. Sorry.
Take it again.
I wasn't ready.
Just take it again.
Smile.
- What's this?
- It's a xanax. Take it.
I'm sorry, everyone.
I just...
the pressure became
too much for me.
Nicki wanted me to get
kathy not to testify.
- I'm sorry, Nicki.
- It's dangerous.
It's dangerous for her
and it's dangerous for us.
I'm sure your concerns didn't
have to do with our safety.
Kathy, I don't know what
you hope to get out of this
- but we all know this is a
trumped-up charge. - No, it isn't.
When I was 14
my first husband Ron
chose me
out of the joy books.
- He was 52.
- You don't have to do this, honey.
I went to Roman.
I told him
I wasn't ready
for man-wife intimacy.
Every part of my heart
said that I wasn't ready,
but Roman is God's voice
on earth, so I listened.
It's all right.
We were sealed.
I was told I wouldn't have
to consummate our relations
until I was ready,
but Ron grew impatient.
I went back to Roman.
Once, twice I knelt down
by his side and I cried
and I told him that I
didn't think I could do it.
He told me that
I must be obedient,
that obedience
is freedom.
He sent me back
to Ron.
Finally, I didn't know
how to resist anymore.
And so I shut my eyes
and took my clothes off
and let Ron do it.
It happened
to you too, Nicki.
Don't, Wanda.
You were forced to marry a
man you hated when you were 15.
No. That was
my choice.
You used to tell me you
couldn't bear to be around J.J.
And that he made
your skin crawl.
The only difference is that
Roman eventually unsealed you.
- Nicki, why didn't you tell me?
- Leave me alone.
- There's nothing to be ashamed of.
- Nicki.
They can twist this around as much as
they like, but this is about us too.
It's about the sanctity
of the principle.
And not one bit of what
Wanda said about me is true.
Marge?
What are you
doing here?
I just thought I should
catch up on some work.
Are you okay?
You know, you really
didn't have to come in.
How is she?
Your mom...
how is she doing?
They think she's going
to be okay.
Oh, gosh. I'm sorry,
sweetie. I'm just...
I get you've really been
through it today, huh?
It's okay.
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay, shh.
She's gonna be okay.
I think you should probably
go home and get some rest.
I think
I'd rather keep busy,
keep my mind
off things.
Well, would you mind listening
to my opening argument?
Okay.
Okay?
Okay, all right.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
I would like to start by
thanking you for your time.
I know it's valuable to you
and I don't intend to waste it.
The defense is going to tell you
that this trial is about many things.
They'll tell you that it's about
religious freedom, persecution.
They'll say it's another
case of the government
intruding into
private matters.
They'll say it's everything except
the one thing that it's about...
Roman Grant's criminal
exploitation of girls...
what's this
supposed to be,
some kind
of seduction?
It's your last meal,
Frank.
I know
you like chicken.
We both know
you'd never let me go.
I don't want
to do it,
but I have to.
You're too vengeful.
Yes, I am.
Do you remember
the time
- when you were pregnant with Bill...
- don't.
...and we drove down
to Mexico?
Don't try
and soften me.
I remember
how excited you were
about carrying
my child.
This isn't easy
for me.
Oh, come on.
You've got one positively
wonderful memory
in there someplace.
Outside my
father's house.
You asked me to come
outside and kiss you.
Yeah, I remember that.
When are you going
to do it?
Now.
I'll fight you.
I'll scratch, I'll kick,
I'll scream.
I know.
It's not
gonna be easy.
What are you doing?
You don't have to do this.
You'll never be washed
of this sin.
I'm ordering you
as your husband,
do not do this.
You cannot do this.
You don't have to. I'm not gonna
hurt you. You don't have to do this.
I'm the father
of your children!
What?
Yes, hello.
- Mom.
- What?
Are you okay?
What? Yes.
What do you want?
I just...
I wanted to know
what happened with Maggie.
What are you
talking about?
Her suicide.
She was married,
wasn't she,
against her will?
Hello?
I'm here.
It was her only
way out.
I'm so glad
you asked to see me.
I thought I'd never
see you again.
Are you going
to try and hurt me?
Please believe me,
after all
you've put me through
I still love you.
I'm not the same girl
I was then.
Oh, yes, you're still
the same beautiful...
what would you give me
not to testify?
I can find you
wherever you go, Rhonda.
I want $100,000.
I can bring you back
to our heavenly father.
$50,000.
I can offer you
greater riches.
Oh, watch your hands.
Watch your fingers.
Am I a good man, Barb?
Why are you
asking me that now?
Yes.
I believe
you're a good man.
I thought
that if I just
lived the principle
with honor,
if we made
these sacrifices
because it was the true
path of our heavenly father...
you're a loving man.
I thought that if I protected
my family, the ones I love...
that that was enough.
It's not.
What Roman's done...
it's evil.
It's evil.
It's contaminated me.
I have to...
darling, I have to...
we have to stand up
against it.
We have to, no matter
what it costs us.
Come to bed.
It's 4:00
in the morning.
I was jealous.
Of course
you were jealous.
It's only natural,
right?
I'm trying to be
a better man than that.
I'm demanding.
I have a temper.
I know.
I like that.
Margie and Barb and Nicki
work as they are.
- What if we wreck it?
- We won't.
- What if we do?
- Ana, I'm in love with you.
We should both be brave.
Let's be brave and leap.
Stop watching them.
Hey, stop it.
Stop that.
My nose is cold.
Want my jacket?
- Did you have fun?
- Thank you.
For everything.
You're a good brother.
Yeah.
I made this terrible
night possible.
Honestly, I'm just glad
I went.
My uncle took me, got drunk and
made out with my best friend,
and I'm stuck here
with you.
As long
as you're happy.
I'm pregnant.
What?
I'm pregnant.
Don't tell anybody.
Sarah-
don't, Ben.
Just do me a favor and don't
say anything right now, okay?
I wanted to tell you
and I told you
and now I don't want
to talk about it.
Please.
It's my prom night.
Watch the sunrise.
