Roman Grant was examined
by a physician last night
after appearing listless and distracted
in yesterday's pretrial hearing.
There have been reports
that the polygamous leader
has been struggling
with depression.
And meanwhile,
in a show of family unity,
the prophet's sons
spoke to reporters
following this morning's
rally in downtown Salt Lake City.
We are confident that these
scurrilous charges
against our father will be proven false.
- Alby's such a weasel.
- Do something constructive.
- Good morning.
- Hey, there's Daddy. We'll find Superman.
Yeah, come on.
Let's eat breakfast. Oh, yeah.
How did it go
last night?
How did what go?
Nicki.
I suppose everyone watched
the news this morning.
We're trying
to limit our intake.
I wish you'd keep
your music down.
You kept me awake
until two 2:00 A.M.
Gosh, I'm sorry, Nicki.
I didn't realize it was that late.
What?
Well, she did.
It was loud enough
to wake the dead.
Nicki, can you help me for a second
in the kitchen?
Could you be
any less tactful?
Her mother just died
and she's trying to find her way.
We could be a little understanding
and give her a break.
What about me?
My father is on trial
and you don't hear me
being a crybaby.
That's completely
selfish.
Okay, obviously this
trial is a huge event in all of our lives,
so let's all just try
and talk through it.
In a fair,
even-handed way.
You can't pretend
to me, Barb.
I know you're
on his side too.
There are no sides.
Look, it's entirely
up to us
whether it draws us closer
or tears us apart.
Understood?
Yes.
Is that it?
No. There's one
more thing.
For the rest
of the trial,
we are giving you,
Nicki, our nights.
We can agree
to disagree by day,
but differences
have to be put aside
for the greater good
of the family.
So we're giving you
every night together to do just that.
I want you to know
that I will help you in every way
to take the stand and testify.
I will back you up.
Why do you want me
to testify now?
Before, you wanted me
to get on a bus and get out of town.
I know.
I was wrong.
I apologize to you
for that.
I put my own...
well, I put my own
interests first.
Roman said that if I go
back to the compound,
I can have a dance
just for me.
No, sweetheart.
I think he's lying to you.
He's the only one
that's been kind to me.
Rhonda, Roman is
a false prophet.
He twists
people's minds.
What do you think
I should do?
I think you should
testify against Roman.
Will it make people
like me more?
I would
like you more.
Your mother tells me
you haven't been to work in two days.
What's the matter,
honey?
Are you upset
about something?
No, Papa.
Well, are you
angry at me?
It might break my
pea-pickin' heart,
but you can tell me
if you are.
No, of course not.
Look at you.
I held you
in my arms,
and now you've
grown strong,
and I've become old.
Papa, don't talk
like that.
Look, I know Bill has made this
very difficult for you,
but I need you
to protect me now,
as I once
watched over you.
Will you bring me copies
of supporting briefs
and names
of character witnesses?
Of course, Papa.
You know I will.
You give me such great joy,
my darling daughter.
Look at this.
I let Vernie
keep her MasterCard
to make sure the kids
were taken care of.
Look what she did.
She and JoJo
charged 4800 bucks
at Home Depot Expo
on new furniture.
And they're taking me to the cleaners.
I'm such a fool.
No, you're not a fool
at all.
You know, I suffered
a recent loss too.
- My mother passed away.
- I know, Margene.
I haven't had a chance
to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
I would have loved
for you to have met her.
She was a showgirl
and when she was young
she really lit up a room.
Wow, she's so
glamorous.
She's a Marilyn Monroe.
Um...
Here you go.
I'm so worried, Don,
and I don't want Bill
to know I'm worried,
so I'd appreciate if you'll
keep this between us.
I need to know what our
resources are.
If Bill testifies
and worse comes to worst,
what do we have
to fall back on?
Barb, Home Plus just had
its first full quarter in the red.
We're gonna have a hard time
making pension contributions this month.
And Weber?
I was just going over
the statements
when you called.
There's nothing here.
We had to divert funds
for the casino startup.
That column
on the far right
is projected cash flow.
But right now, today,
there's nothing.
Your father is
going down, Alby.
You'll be running things soon.
We need to look ahead.
Why would I want
to discuss anything with you, Bill?
I'd like
to help you.
Help me?
How would you help me?
Investment strategies
for UEB accounts,
economic development opportunities
for the compound.
Now I know you have
your pick of advisors
and you and I have had
our differences,
but I've had some success
in the private sector
and I'd like
to help you if I could.
So let me hear it.
Tell me.
Why don't you
swing by my office?
Your office?
Sure, why not?
We can talk things over.
Let me think about it.
I'll get back to you.
What does he want?
I don't know.
And just where was he
while we were doing
all the hard work
alone?
He's a Johnny-come-lately.
And he bears us
no good will, Albert.
Give me your fives.
Give me your jacks.
Go fish.
Would you like
to watch the news?
No, thank you.
Give me your threes.
Go fish.
Would you like
to have sex with me?
No, I would not like
to have sex with you.
- Hello.
- Nita, where is he? What's going on?
It's not good.
Frank took out
a life insurance policy
on you two days ago.
He's trying to hunt you down like a dog.
Where are you?
I'm homeless.
I've got $16 and
half a tank of gas to my name.
Why did you tell Alby
where he was at?
I couldn't let you
murder him.
You've strayed so far
from our Heavenly Father.
Frank. No, Frank.
What will you do
if your father is convicted?
I really don't know.
Hurry up, Margie.
I have more important things to do
than grocery shopping...
- much more important.
- We all do.
But grocery shopping
has to get done too.
I saw his picture
from the hearing.
He looked stern
and scary to me.
Is he scary?
I had a friend
growing up
whose father
was a general
in the Serbian-backed
forces in Bosnia.
He was tried
for war crimes.
Excuse me, I don't need any more
comments from the peanut gallery.
What's next?
Ice cream.
She's a bitch.
If I have to live with her,
things would change.
- Could you get the milk?
- Yeah.
She's just trying
to fit in.
Why are you so angry
with her?
Why are you so angry with Bill?
What is going on?
Nicki,
why do you suppose
you're really so angry?
Oh, is that what you think?
I am not like you.
I know exactly
what I'm feeling.
I'm not the kind of person
who hides my true feelings from myself.
What am I hiding?
Hello. Your mother.
You're wallowing in denial.
Barb and Bill think
that you should be coddled.
I love you, Marge.
No offense,
but either deal with it
or just move on.
Stop the indulgence.
Hey, wait.
We admire you
for looking into adoption
and know that the Lord
will guide you in your decision.
It amazes me
how much love,
and admiration
and appreciation
we can feel for you,
being that we don't know you.
Even before meeting you,
we've prayed for you.
We're so grateful
for your love
and concern
for your child.
Hey, glad to see you back.
We missed you.
I've assembled the digests
of the witness statements.
I'll grab them in a sec.
I've got someone in my office.
Of course I know
who you are.
You were deposed
by one of my associates.
You're a witness
for Roman Grant.
Not by choice.
Roman Grant may be
behind bars,
but he still has the ability to coerce
and intimidate.
Kathy Marquart's house
has been vandalized.
And pressure's being put
on Rhonda Volmer too.
She's impressionable
and alone
and she's wavering.
No, she's with her mom.
Her mother skipped town
three weeks ago.
Rhonda's living
in a flophouse.
You've got to do something
to protect these girls.
What's your stake
in all this?
I read
your deposition.
Are you still living
on the compound?
Look, I was born there.
I grew up there.
They're my people, like my brother.
He stayed.
A lot of the people
in my life
have been hurt by the darkness
of Juniper Creek.
When did you
leave it all behind?
I was run off
as a kid.
Well, it's been
almost 30 years now.
You can't make me
stay here.
You are free to go
at any time.
Rhonda...
this is
for our protection.
We're doing
the right thing.
Hello.
Barb, it's me.
Step outside.
Mother, I told you
I wasn't going to do that anymore.
But I was about
to call you too.
Me first.
No, Mother, actually,
I think I need to go first.
Bill's been subpoenaed
as a witness
and might be taking
the stand to testify.
Everything could come
crashing in on us at any minute.
We would welcome
any additional security
for the children.
Who's this woman
on your lawn with the two boys?
What boys?
They're on your lawn.
She's wearing a purple top.
Oh, uh...
she's with Wayne and Raymond,
my sons by Nicki.
Oh, yes,
Roman's daughter.
Every time I see
that man's desiccated face
on television,
it makes my skin crawl.
And I'm still appalled
that he's actually been
in your home,
and you live
with his daughter.
We're doing everything we can to see
that he's put away,
but there's
a steep price to pay for it.
Well, I'll have to discuss
all of this with Ned.
You know, let's talk
about this later, okay?
All right, bye.
Thank you for
sticking by me, Jodean.
I'm with you forever, Kathy,
no matter what.
But testifying
on my behalf...
I know the pressure
it puts on you.
It's not a hard
decision to make
because I've never
known more love
than I have for you,
my sister.
Bye now.
Wanda.
I'm sorry for dragging
you and Joey into this,
truly sorry.
And I want you to know
that I'm totally willing to go this alone.
Okay.
Because I love you.
And if my being with Joey
or loving Joey
is too hard on you,
then I'll leave.
Just tell me to
and I will.
Okay.
I want you to leave.
Just kidding.
Police estimates now put
the total number
of Grant supporters
as above those seen at the 2005
Michael Jackson trial.
Lawyers for the prosecution
voiced their concern
about the potential
for witness tampering...
# Living like
good boy oughta #
# And your mama #
# Takes a shine
to her best son #
# Something different #
# All the girls,
they seem to like you #
# 'Cause you're handsome
like to talk #
# And a whole lot
of fun #
# Gonna take your mama
out all night #
# Yeah, we'll show her
what it's all about #
# We'll get her jacked up
on some cheap champagne #
# And let the good times
all roll out #
# And if the music ain't good
well it's just too bad #
# We're gonna sing along
no matter what #
# Because the dancers don't
mind at the New Orleans... #
- Rhonda Volmer's testifying.
- Not against me, she isn't.
I'm afraid she's gone
into protective custody.
You do not
understand Rhonda.
I do. She will never
turn against me.
I strongly suggest a plea.
Take it and run.
If you're found guilty,
that's it.
You spend the rest
of your life in jail.
- I won't be found guilty.
- Take this deal, Roman.
You're advising me to admit
to something I did not do
just to save
my own neck?
A lie in the service
of an act of selfish venality?
No.
No deal.
No deal.
Say, would you like
a 7UP?
- Let me get you a 7UP.
- I'd like that.
Suzy, 7UP
for Mr. Grant.
Come on in.
Make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
All right.
Thanks.
Six counts of sexual
misconduct with a minor
are being brought
against Roman Grant
who's allegedly sealed
countless young women...
Here we go.
I'll take my jacket.
Okay.
I've got my jury now.
Opening arguments in less than 24 hours.
I live, eat,
breathe, drink
all things Roman Grant.
I'm obsessed
with the man.
It isn't natural,
you know?
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe.
What can I do to help?
Uh, can you order me
a chicken sandwich?
Of course.
On white toast. Done.
What are you
smiling at?
It's exciting
being here.
It's all coming down
to these last two witnesses here.
We put them in protective
custody yesterday,
in a place where Roman Grant
cannot get to them.
Thank heavens.
With lots of security?
Yeah, they're good.
It's a hotel
we've used before.
So you don't have
to worry, okay?
Poor people... Kathy Marquart
and her family...
they come in here
so well-meaning,
still living
in Juniper Creek,
just really trying
to do the right thing.
In the end it's just futile,
though, you know?
It's like trying
to keep clean
while you're standing
waist deep in a cesspool.
You look at them
and you just know
they'll never truly
be free of it.
You know?
Thanks, Marge.
If this has anything to do
with Roman's trial, I'm not playing.
- You've been meddling, haven't you?
- No. In what way?
You know what way. You had Kathy
and Rhonda put in protective custody.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You need to think about
what would happen
if Roman loses
this case.
He will lose. Does it ever
bother you, Adaleen,
that he stole the innocence
from his own daughter?
You don't know what
you're talking about.
You'd better
listen to me.
Alby's always
had it in for you.
If you let him
win this case,
I wouldn't be surprised
if he skins you alive
and splits your gut
wide open
till your entrails spill out
all over the floor.
I'm sorry, Adaleen,
but I'm following
the dictates of my conscience.
Well, then won't it be
on your conscience
if something were to happen
to those two girls.
Don't think
I'm onboard.
I really don't know
what I think.
I still can't get over
that I was the last one to know.
I'm really sorry.
I just had now idea
how I was gonna tell you.
Here we are.
Those are nice.
I was on mission
in Guatemala.
I collected textiles,
backstrap loom weavings.
They're called
huipils.
The most prized
have silk.
Sandy, on your blog
you mentioned you're OCD?
Me? Yes.
Classic type...
my moodiness,
my defensiveness,
I can be a holy terror.
We all have our burdens.
But... thank you...
Eric accepts me as I am.
And Sandy accepts me.
We're all vulnerable to Satan
and his temptations.
But Eric is nothing
if not diligent
in his quest
for righteousness...
his SSA...
Same-sex attraction.
How did you meet?
Freshman year
in college.
When Eric told me
he was gay.
And then
you got married?
There was a lot
to work out, obviously,
but over that time
we came to love
each other very much.
There was
a lot of prayer
that formed the basis
for our relationship.
I had to make
the decision
if I was going to do
what my libido wanted
or what my heart
wanted.
Though I am as gay
as they come,
through the Lord's help
I've been able to develop
a lot of masculine
qualities.
Someday, I believe, I will no longer have
homosexual attractions.
But it might not be
until I am resurrected
from the dead.
If the church says
it's okay,
maybe there's something to it
we don't understand.
Heather, counseling women
to marry gay men
and telling gay men
to get married is just wrong.
I don't know what the solution
is to the gay thing, but this isn't it.
- Was he coming on to me?
- Shut up, Ben.
I don't want my baby
to be brought up in a home
where there's
no true intimacy
or a mutually nourishing
relationship.
I'm just saying
they seemed
to really care
about each other.
They seem really
well-meaning.
Who isn't?
Everybody is well-meaning.
They're well meaning.
LDS Social Services is well-meaning.
Look, I've held my tongue,
but I say give the baby to Mom and Dad.
I'm sorry, this whole thing
is crazy to me anyway.
Heather, please just
be on my side.
- Turn off the music, Ben.
- It's "Loaves and Fishes."
I don't feel like listening
to Christian Rock right now.
You're just gonna run away
to school in Arizona to hide the fact
that you're pregnant
from your family for nine months?
Just give it
to Mom and Dad.
No, I am not going
to give up my baby
to be brought up
in polygamy.
Do you know
who this is?
I know this woman.
This is one of Roman Grant's wives.
That's Adaleen Grant,
Roman's sixth wife.
She's the mastermind
who's been turning all your witnesses.
She's set up her operation
outside the prison. You'll find her there.
- How do you know all this?
- She called me this morning
making wild threats.
She's relentless.
She will not stop
until she has the keys to their rooms.
Bring her in
for questioning.
Let me ask you
something, Ray.
What would you think
if I could deliver Albert Grant to you,
get him to publicly
denounce his father
before the cameras
and in court?
Are you kidding?
Baby Grant makes
a public break with Papa?
I've been working him.
I think I can swing him.
By when?
Tomorrow?
I don't know. Soon.
I'll keep working.
Yeah.
What do you mean, "Go now"?
What are you
talking about? Oh!
I'm sorry to bring this
to your doorstep,
but I didn't know
what else to do.
Your father's gone
on a complete rampage
and he has threatened
to do me grave harm.
But what could have
set him off?
What do you think
triggered it?
I don't know.
It's just how he is.
But he has become
erratic
and a bit unbalanced
as he's gotten older.
We'll sort it out tomorrow.
Ben, take your grandma upstairs
to freshen up and shower and ask Sarah
to put out some clean clothes.
Thank you.
I truly
appreciate this.
I need to run
something else by you
and I want you to take five seconds
before answering.
I invited Alby over
for dinner tonight.
- No.
- I said five seconds.
- No.
- I'm trying to turn him to our side.
He's a nutcase.
He put snakes in our bed.
I know, Barb, but right now
getting Roman convicted
trumps everything else,
and Alby's critical.
I called Nicki.
She won't be home tonight.
She's working late.
It's important, Barb.
Alby craves attention and respect.
I'm telling you,
it will work.
It isn't here.
It is here.
It has to be here
because this is exactly
where I had it buried.
Get out of the hole.
Your poor father...
we've got to protect him from himself.
He's got an obsession
with that girl,
and it's not
a healthy obsession.
Rhonda is dangerous.
We need this money.
It's the only thing she cares about.
Mama, I was
in the Joy Book.
Dear Lord, this trial.
It's not his fault.
How could it be his fault?
Those girls
just love him.
And who wouldn't?
He is a prophet who walks among us.
Maybe some of them
didn't want to get married.
His heart's
just too big.
He just is throwing
caution to the wind over that girl.
I didn't want
to get married the first time.
How can you say that?
You don't mean that.
You were so proud
that day.
You looked so pretty
in that pink dress.
We sang together
all day
while we sewed
that dress.
Honey, if we don't find
this stash,
you're gonna have to give me what's left
of what you pinched from the UEB.
No, Mama, you said
if I gave you half, I could keep the rest.
You have to. Don't you see?
There is no other choice.
All right,
this is a bust.
- Where did you bury yours?
- In town.
Well, let's go get it.
We gotta get that girl
a one-way ticket out of town.
Let's go.
There's $30,000 in there
and I'm gonna get it.
We've got
to hurry now.
We went to Maui,
but, oh, it was so hot.
It was the off season.
But I bought three
lovely paperweights
for Father to put
on his secretaire.
- What is this?
- Summer gazpacho.
- Mine's just a bit cold.
- Oh.
Would you like me
to warm it up?
I'll help you.
Glory, why don't you
go lend a hand?
Your wife Barbara
is most gracious.
You married her for love,
didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Mm, I could tell.
I came to love late.
I married Lura for love.
Glory and Connie at home
were for the Principle.
But we all
get along well.
I'm glad to hear it.
I knew we had a lot in common,
but I admit
I didn't realize
it would go this well.
And in the spirit
of rapprochement, Bill,
I just want you to know
I'll see to it
that no charges will be filed
against your mother.
My mother?
For the torture and attempted murder
of your father.
Yes.
You know, I've been thinking
a lot about the transition after Roman
and what would make it
the smoothest for you.
Alby, I think you need
to be a bit more public.
Public? How?
By taking a strong
and decisive lead.
Indicate some of your
father's failures...
the things
that you and I know...
now, instead of
after the conviction.
So that's what
all this is about?
You've just been
trying to work me?
No, that's not it
at all.
I'm stating
a simple truth.
It's gonna happen,
Alby.
You're on the threshold
of history.
Lead the flock.
Show them the way.
Take a stand.
I think he's
getting ready to ask.
If it wasn't
so complicated,
I'd say yes
and try it and see.
But I guess this isn't
that kind of situation
that you can just
try out.
Well, if you're waiting
to be 1000% sure,
it's never gonna happen.
I wasn't.
Of course I had doubts,
but I just took the leap.
What if you don't like it
or if you damage your hair?
I know what I'm doing.
I read the instructions.
This is gonna be
so great.
Hello.
I have some news for you, Roman,
that I wanted to share.
I have your son, Roman.
Alby's gonna
turn on you.
He's gonna publicly denounce you
tomorrow morning.
I have your wife.
And she will never
love you
like she loves me.
Alby is a fool.
Besides,
I had a prophesy last night
how this will all turn out.
I will prevail.
So you'd best chose your
next steps carefully.
I'm giving you
one last chance
to counsel Kathy
not to take the stand.
She'll be there, Roman.
She will testify.
And so will Alby.
As you wish, son.
As you wish.
Sarah, hi.
I'm glad
you're not there,
but I want
to tell you this.
I just wanted to say
you've been right
all along.
I've been wrong.
I'm really confused
and messed up.
I know that now.
And maybe someday
we could be
friends again.
Turndown service.
Are you here
to kill me?
Oh, for heaven's sakes,
of course I'm not here
to kill you.
How much is it?
$30,000.
I suggest you take it
and run... tonight.
And make sure you don't
get caught by the cops.
But I'm Roman's
favorite again.
Oh, no, you're not.
And you've betrayed him
for the last time.
But they brought me here
against my will.
He's washed
his hands of you.
He's throwing you away
for the bad penny you are.
He doesn't love you.
An no one really cares
about you.
He doesn't want
to give you a nickel,
but I'm taking pity
on you.
It's more
than you deserve.
Take it.
Save yourself.
But he said
he loved me.
# The beauty of the lily,
Christ was born across the sea #
# In the glory of His bosom
that transfigures you and me #
# As he died
to make men holy #
- # Let us live to make men free... #
- Pervert! Pedophile!
# While God is marching on #
# Glory glory hallelujah #
# Glory glory hallelujah #
- # Glory glory hallelujah! #
- You pedophile, shut up!
I'm the Prophet
of Juniper Creek!
- It's Bill.
- Bill, it's me.
Joey?
What can I do for you?
Rhonda's gone.
She's disappeared.
Daggone it!
The DA called. She cleared out of
her room and vanished.
There's no one
he can't get to.
We can't do it alone, Bill.
It's tearing us apart.
You don't have to testify now, but Kathy
is on the stand tomorrow.
It's gonna be okay.
Listen to me.
I'm not listening, Bill.
In overnight developments,
Rhonda Volmer,
one of the two remaining
witnesses,
has apparently
dropped out of the case.
Several of Mr. Grant's
protestors...
...an aging self-proclaimed
prophet.
He has been charged
with sexual misconduct with a minor.
- Hello?
- Good morning.
Could you step
outside, please?
I'm not coming out to talk
today of all days, Mother.
No no, not to talk.
I've left a peace offering
outside your door.
- I didn't know we were fighting.
- Grandma, breakfast is ready.
Is that Lois?
I haven't seen her
in years.
- Mother.
- Excuse me.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois!
Nancy.
It's been
a long time.
Is she having breakfast
too, Grandma?
Ask her yourself.
No, honey, thank you.
Lois...
Don't patronize me.
I know you think
I'm a dirty chinchilla.
You sadden me, Lois.
You always have.
Sweetheart, would you
run on back inside?
You have always
treated me like dirt.
Well, let me
tell you something,
Miss Fancy Madam...
I am not dirt.
Nor is my son.
So you stop treating us like it.
You were an abused woman.
I don't take that lightly.
Yes yes yes, sister.
Well, don't you worry.
I'm fine now.
Well, I tried
to help you.
I had you all set up
in that apartment,
but you had to
change your mind
and go back to that husband
and that culture...
everything that,
thank God, this trial
is at last
trying to expose.
Yes yes yes, thank you
for your concern,
but that's all
behind me.
I think the defense team
is gonna go after
the witnesses
credibility very strongly...
I know you gotta run.
Breakfast is ready.
Whoa there.
You didn't quite tell me
the truth about Dad, did you, Mother?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Oh, I think you do.
I have a headache
this morning.
Mother?
Nancy?
I came over
with a peace offering
because I can't do those trusts,
but Lois took my basket.
And I baked those things
from scratch.
What trusts?
I asked Mother to set up a trust fund
for the children.
Yes, but Ned advised
against it.
Apparently my portfolio
is performing very well
and he says it's not
a good year to get hit with capital gains.
I wanted to take
the pressure off.
If Mother could take care
of our three,
we could concentrate
on the rest of the children.
- Hello, Nancy.
- Mother, say hello to Nicki.
Hello.
Look, I gotta go.
Bill.
There's that woman again.
It's the new me.
What on earth have you gone
and done to yourself?
Mother, this is Ana.
Let's have our waffles.
Please don't
embarrass me.
How? You look
like a prostitute.
No, sweetie, you don't look
like a prostitute.
Barb?
I'm sorry, I just
can't look at you.
I like it.
Well, you look just like
a complete whore.
- Nicki.
- That is not fair!
You're awfully good with children.
Is that what you do here?
I've listened to all
of your complaints, Nicki,
all of your
grievances,
and you can't even
compliment me once?
I hope your father loses
and they send him up the river
for the rest of his life
'cause he's mean and creepy.
Whoa whoa whoa!
And just so you know,
we can't stand him and we're doing
- everything we can to bring him down!
- Margie.
Nicki, wait.
I didn't say one thing...
not one thing that's not the truth.
Margie, enough.
Well, if you're not
the babysitter, what are you?
Actually, I'm dating
the family.
I'm dating to become
the fourth wife.
Mother, please don't
say a word.
You don't need four.
You've got three.
That's celestial.
That's all you need
for now and eternity,
unless you're going
for a quorum.
What's a quorum?
- Seven.
- Seven?!
I told you this is all
just a whim for him.
It's a lifestyle
preference.
This is more than
a lifestyle.
It's what we believe.
It was your grandfather's faith.
You're a dabbler,
a gadfly...
monogamy, polygamy,
Home Plus, casinos.
You're wrong.
I love this woman
with all my heart.
And I love this woman,
heart and soul.
And this one, Margene,
as a blond or a brunette,
either way.
And Nicki, who helped
save your daughter's life,
who you both could
learn from,
because she doesn't stop loving
even when she should.
And we want this one
to marry us.
Right now.
Right away.
Will you, Ana?
L... I don't know
what to say.
How can you
let this happen?
Because I second
the motion.
And I propose too.
Me too.
Can I think it over?
Of course.
My beautiful
little sister,
when did our parents
ever care a thing for you?
And yet you're still
trying to please them.
How can you let yourself
be used by them
and do their bidding?
You don't even know
why I'm here.
What is it in you
that hates yourself so much?
What are you doing here?
Don't you lecture me
not to get involved
when apparently those rules
don't apply to you.
You're obsessed
with my father.
Nicki, go home right now.
Can't you understand
I love him?
The state calls
Katherine Marquart.
Now we're being told
that the prosecution's
star witness Kathy Marquart
has just entered...
Sarah, it's Kathy.
Our cameras got a look
at her
as she entered
the courtroom this morning.
Now as we said before
her testimony
as the key witness could be
the decisive blow
to the Roman Grant defense.
Now let's join News Team 4's own
Georgia Hinkby
who's been standing by live
at the courthouse.
As you can see
in the background...
Hey, I want you
to know,
whatever you want...
whatever
you want to do,
I'm with you, okay?
So you corroborate
your sister's testimony in every way?
Yes, sir. In every way
you asked me about.
Okay that'll be all,
You Honor.
Thank you.
Miss Marquart,
who is your sister?
And you are twins,
correct?
Yes, sir.
Would you say that you were close
with your sister?
Yes, sir, very.
I love Kathy more
than anyone in the world.
And you and your sister
were both married
to Ronald Hassen
at the same time?
Yes, sir,
for 11 years.
How old were you
on your last birthday?
29.
- 29?
- I'm pretty sure. I think so.
You think so?
We didn't celebrate birthdays
on the compound growing up.
We only celebrated
Joseph Smith's birthday, December 23rd.
Your sister Kathy says
that she is 27 now.
Kathy and I always argued
about how old we were.
How old were you
when you married Ronald Hassen?
Miss Marquart?
- 19.
- Your sister says
that you were both 16,
not quite 17.
Is she wrong?
Miss Marquart,
is your sister wrong?
- I don't know.
- Simple question...
in your opinion,
is you sister wrong?
I guess so.
Yes.
Do you have anything
to prove your age...
a birth certificate?
- We don't have birth certificates.
- Hospital records?
We don't have any.
We were born at home.
It's not unusual not to know how old
you were on the compound,
because nobody
ever told us.
That's all.
So maybe I was wrong.
Maybe l...
That's all,
Miss Marquart.
I'll entertain a plea.
In chambers.
Now.
Kathy, wait.
Whether you
appreciate it or not,
I'm doing this for you,
for what he did to you.
No, I can take care
of myself.
- Alby, where are you going?
- Home.
- I want you to talk to the DA.
- Are you a complete fool?
This is collapsing.
You crawl out on the limb if you want.
I'm playing
to fight another day.
Heavenly Father
knew best.
Our enemies
have been vanquished
and the righteous
have prevailed.
Clear 'em out of here.
Clear 'em out of here.
Gotta go.
# Holy holy holy #
# Lord God Almighty #
# Early in the morning #
# Our song shall rise
to meet. #
You made this possible,
my darling daughter.
Honey! Oh!
All right, all right,
all right.
Back off.
Back off.
- Are you all right?
- I can get up.
What happened?
Oh, gosh.
- Did you see it?
- I didn't see anything.
Charges of suborning rape
were dropped
and the self-styled prophet
pled to lesser charges
of false
imprisonment
with a six-month session
of victim empathy counseling,
during which time
he is not allowed to return
to his compound
at Juniper Creek.
So how old are you?
16.
How far is
Los Angeles?
About nine hours.
I'm so glad
to get out of here.
I'm going
to be free.
Do you want to hear
my demo?
Sure.
Just put it on.

Roman Grant was examined
by a physician last night
after appearing listless and distracted
in yesterday's pretrial hearing.
There have been reports
that the polygamous leader
has been struggling
with depression.
And meanwhile,
in a show of family unity,
the prophet's sons
spoke to reporters
following this morning's
rally in downtown Salt Lake City.
We are confident that these
scurrilous charges
against our father will be proven false.
- Alby's such a weasel.
- Do something constructive.
- Good morning.
- Hey, there's Daddy. We'll find Superman.
Yeah, come on.
Let's eat breakfast. Oh, yeah.
How did it go
last night?
How did what go?
Nicki.
I suppose everyone watched
the news this morning.
We're trying
to limit our intake.
I wish you'd keep
your music down.
You kept me awake
until two 2:00 A.M.
Gosh, I'm sorry, Nicki.
I didn't realize it was that late.
What?
Well, she did.
It was loud enough
to wake the dead.
Nicki, can you help me for a second
in the kitchen?
Could you be
any less tactful?
Her mother just died
and she's trying to find her way.
We could be a little understanding
and give her a break.
What about me?
My father is on trial
and you don't hear me
being a crybaby.
That's completely
selfish.
Okay, obviously this
trial is a huge event in all of our lives,
so let's all just try
and talk through it.
In a fair,
even-handed way.
You can't pretend
to me, Barb.
I know you're
on his side too.
There are no sides.
Look, it's entirely
up to us
whether it draws us closer
or tears us apart.
Understood?
Yes.
Is that it?
No. There's one
more thing.
For the rest
of the trial,
we are giving you,
Nicki, our nights.
We can agree
to disagree by day,
but differences
have to be put aside
for the greater good
of the family.
So we're giving you
every night together to do just that.
I want you to know
that I will help you in every way
to take the stand and testify.
I will back you up.
Why do you want me
to testify now?
Before, you wanted me
to get on a bus and get out of town.
I know.
I was wrong.
I apologize to you
for that.
I put my own...
well, I put my own
interests first.
Roman said that if I go
back to the compound,
I can have a dance
just for me.
No, sweetheart.
I think he's lying to you.
He's the only one
that's been kind to me.
Rhonda, Roman is
a false prophet.
He twists
people's minds.
What do you think
I should do?
I think you should
testify against Roman.
Will it make people
like me more?
I would
like you more.
Your mother tells me
you haven't been to work in two days.
What's the matter,
honey?
Are you upset
about something?
No, Papa.
Well, are you
angry at me?
It might break my
pea-pickin' heart,
but you can tell me
if you are.
No, of course not.
Look at you.
I held you
in my arms,
and now you've
grown strong,
and I've become old.
Papa, don't talk
like that.
Look, I know Bill has made this
very difficult for you,
but I need you
to protect me now,
as I once
watched over you.
Will you bring me copies
of supporting briefs
and names
of character witnesses?
Of course, Papa.
You know I will.
You give me such great joy,
my darling daughter.
Look at this.
I let Vernie
keep her MasterCard
to make sure the kids
were taken care of.
Look what she did.
She and JoJo
charged 4800 bucks
at Home Depot Expo
on new furniture.
And they're taking me to the cleaners.
I'm such a fool.
No, you're not a fool
at all.
You know, I suffered
a recent loss too.
- My mother passed away.
- I know, Margene.
I haven't had a chance
to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.
I would have loved
for you to have met her.
She was a showgirl
and when she was young
she really lit up a room.
Wow, she's so
glamorous.
She's a Marilyn Monroe.
Um...
Here you go.
I'm so worried, Don,
and I don't want Bill
to know I'm worried,
so I'd appreciate if you'll
keep this between us.
I need to know what our
resources are.
If Bill testifies
and worse comes to worst,
what do we have
to fall back on?
Barb, Home Plus just had
its first full quarter in the red.
We're gonna have a hard time
making pension contributions this month.
And Weber?
I was just going over
the statements
when you called.
There's nothing here.
We had to divert funds
for the casino startup.
That column
on the far right
is projected cash flow.
But right now, today,
there's nothing.
Your father is
going down, Alby.
You'll be running things soon.
We need to look ahead.
Why would I want
to discuss anything with you, Bill?
I'd like
to help you.
Help me?
How would you help me?
Investment strategies
for UEB accounts,
economic development opportunities
for the compound.
Now I know you have
your pick of advisors
and you and I have had
our differences,
but I've had some success
in the private sector
and I'd like
to help you if I could.
So let me hear it.
Tell me.
Why don't you
swing by my office?
Your office?
Sure, why not?
We can talk things over.
Let me think about it.
I'll get back to you.
What does he want?
I don't know.
And just where was he
while we were doing
all the hard work
alone?
He's a Johnny-come-lately.
And he bears us
no good will, Albert.
Give me your fives.
Give me your jacks.
Go fish.
Would you like
to watch the news?
No, thank you.
Give me your threes.
Go fish.
Would you like
to have sex with me?
No, I would not like
to have sex with you.
- Hello.
- Nita, where is he? What's going on?
It's not good.
Frank took out
a life insurance policy
on you two days ago.
He's trying to hunt you down like a dog.
Where are you?
I'm homeless.
I've got $16 and
half a tank of gas to my name.
Why did you tell Alby
where he was at?
I couldn't let you
murder him.
You've strayed so far
from our Heavenly Father.
Frank. No, Frank.
What will you do
if your father is convicted?
I really don't know.
Hurry up, Margie.
I have more important things to do
than grocery shopping...
- much more important.
- We all do.
But grocery shopping
has to get done too.
I saw his picture
from the hearing.
He looked stern
and scary to me.
Is he scary?
I had a friend
growing up
whose father
was a general
in the Serbian-backed
forces in Bosnia.
He was tried
for war crimes.
Excuse me, I don't need any more
comments from the peanut gallery.
What's next?
Ice cream.
She's a bitch.
If I have to live with her,
things would change.
- Could you get the milk?
- Yeah.
She's just trying
to fit in.
Why are you so angry
with her?
Why are you so angry with Bill?
What is going on?
Nicki,
why do you suppose
you're really so angry?
Oh, is that what you think?
I am not like you.
I know exactly
what I'm feeling.
I'm not the kind of person
who hides my true feelings from myself.
What am I hiding?
Hello. Your mother.
You're wallowing in denial.
Barb and Bill think
that you should be coddled.
I love you, Marge.
No offense,
but either deal with it
or just move on.
Stop the indulgence.
Hey, wait.
We admire you
for looking into adoption
and know that the Lord
will guide you in your decision.
It amazes me
how much love,
and admiration
and appreciation
we can feel for you,
being that we don't know you.
Even before meeting you,
we've prayed for you.
We're so grateful
for your love
and concern
for your child.
Hey, glad to see you back.
We missed you.
I've assembled the digests
of the witness statements.
I'll grab them in a sec.
I've got someone in my office.
Of course I know
who you are.
You were deposed
by one of my associates.
You're a witness
for Roman Grant.
Not by choice.
Roman Grant may be
behind bars,
but he still has the ability to coerce
and intimidate.
Kathy Marquart's house
has been vandalized.
And pressure's being put
on Rhonda Volmer too.
She's impressionable
and alone
and she's wavering.
No, she's with her mom.
Her mother skipped town
three weeks ago.
Rhonda's living
in a flophouse.
You've got to do something
to protect these girls.
What's your stake
in all this?
I read
your deposition.
Are you still living
on the compound?
Look, I was born there.
I grew up there.
They're my people, like my brother.
He stayed.
A lot of the people
in my life
have been hurt by the darkness
of Juniper Creek.
When did you
leave it all behind?
I was run off
as a kid.
Well, it's been
almost 30 years now.
You can't make me
stay here.
You are free to go
at any time.
Rhonda...
this is
for our protection.
We're doing
the right thing.
Hello.
Barb, it's me.
Step outside.
Mother, I told you
I wasn't going to do that anymore.
But I was about
to call you too.
Me first.
No, Mother, actually,
I think I need to go first.
Bill's been subpoenaed
as a witness
and might be taking
the stand to testify.
Everything could come
crashing in on us at any minute.
We would welcome
any additional security
for the children.
Who's this woman
on your lawn with the two boys?
What boys?
They're on your lawn.
She's wearing a purple top.
Oh, uh...
she's with Wayne and Raymond,
my sons by Nicki.
Oh, yes,
Roman's daughter.
Every time I see
that man's desiccated face
on television,
it makes my skin crawl.
And I'm still appalled
that he's actually been
in your home,
and you live
with his daughter.
We're doing everything we can to see
that he's put away,
but there's
a steep price to pay for it.
Well, I'll have to discuss
all of this with Ned.
You know, let's talk
about this later, okay?
All right, bye.
Thank you for
sticking by me, Jodean.
I'm with you forever, Kathy,
no matter what.
But testifying
on my behalf...
I know the pressure
it puts on you.
It's not a hard
decision to make
because I've never
known more love
than I have for you,
my sister.
Bye now.
Wanda.
I'm sorry for dragging
you and Joey into this,
truly sorry.
And I want you to know
that I'm totally willing to go this alone.
Okay.
Because I love you.
And if my being with Joey
or loving Joey
is too hard on you,
then I'll leave.
Just tell me to
and I will.
Okay.
I want you to leave.
Just kidding.
Police estimates now put
the total number
of Grant supporters
as above those seen at the 2005
Michael Jackson trial.
Lawyers for the prosecution
voiced their concern
about the potential
for witness tampering...

# Takes a shine

- Rhonda Volmer's testifying.
- Not against me, she isn't.
I'm afraid she's gone
into protective custody.
You do not
understand Rhonda.
I do. She will never
turn against me.
I strongly suggest a plea.
Take it and run.
If you're found guilty,
that's it.
You spend the rest
of your life in jail.
- I won't be found guilty.
- Take this deal, Roman.
You're advising me to admit
to something I did not do
just to save
my own neck?
A lie in the service
of an act of selfish venality?
No.
No deal.
No deal.
Say, would you like
a 7UP?
- Let me get you a 7UP.
- I'd like that.
Suzy, 7UP
for Mr. Grant.
Come on in.
Make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
All right.
Thanks.
Six counts of sexual
misconduct with a minor
are being brought
against Roman Grant
who's allegedly sealed
countless young women...
Here we go.
I'll take my jacket.
Okay.
I've got my jury now.
Opening arguments in less than 24 hours.
I live, eat,
breathe, drink
all things Roman Grant.
I'm obsessed
with the man.
It isn't natural,
you know?
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe.
What can I do to help?
Uh, can you order me
a chicken sandwich?
Of course.
On white toast. Done.
What are you
smiling at?
It's exciting
being here.
It's all coming down
to these last two witnesses here.
We put them in protective
custody yesterday,
in a place where Roman Grant
cannot get to them.
Thank heavens.
With lots of security?
Yeah, they're good.
It's a hotel
we've used before.
So you don't have
to worry, okay?
Poor people... Kathy Marquart
and her family...
they come in here
so well-meaning,
still living
in Juniper Creek,
just really trying
to do the right thing.
In the end it's just futile,
though, you know?
It's like trying
to keep clean
while you're standing
waist deep in a cesspool.
You look at them
and you just know
they'll never truly
be free of it.
You know?
Thanks, Marge.
If this has anything to do
with Roman's trial, I'm not playing.
- You've been meddling, haven't you?
- No. In what way?
You know what way. You had Kathy
and Rhonda put in protective custody.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You need to think about
what would happen
if Roman loses
this case.
He will lose. Does it ever
bother you, Adaleen,
that he stole the innocence
from his own daughter?
You don't know what
you're talking about.
You'd better
listen to me.
Alby's always
had it in for you.
If you let him
win this case,
I wouldn't be surprised
if he skins you alive
and splits your gut
wide open
till your entrails spill out
all over the floor.
I'm sorry, Adaleen,
but I'm following
the dictates of my conscience.
Well, then won't it be
on your conscience
if something were to happen
to those two girls.
Don't think
I'm onboard.
I really don't know
what I think.
I still can't get over
that I was the last one to know.
I'm really sorry.
I just had now idea
how I was gonna tell you.
Here we are.
Those are nice.
I was on mission
in Guatemala.
I collected textiles,
backstrap loom weavings.
They're called
huipils.
The most prized
have silk.
Sandy, on your blog
you mentioned you're OCD?
Me? Yes.
Classic type...
my moodiness,
my defensiveness,
I can be a holy terror.
We all have our burdens.
But... thank you...
Eric accepts me as I am.
And Sandy accepts me.
We're all vulnerable to Satan
and his temptations.
But Eric is nothing
if not diligent
in his quest
for righteousness...
his SSA...
Same-sex attraction.
How did you meet?
Freshman year
in college.
When Eric told me
he was gay.
And then
you got married?
There was a lot
to work out, obviously,
but over that time
we came to love
each other very much.
There was
a lot of prayer
that formed the basis
for our relationship.
I had to make
the decision
if I was going to do
what my libido wanted
or what my heart
wanted.
Though I am as gay
as they come,
through the Lord's help
I've been able to develop
a lot of masculine
qualities.
Someday, I believe, I will no longer have
homosexual attractions.
But it might not be
until I am resurrected
from the dead.
If the church says
it's okay,
maybe there's something to it
we don't understand.
Heather, counseling women
to marry gay men
and telling gay men
to get married is just wrong.
I don't know what the solution
is to the gay thing, but this isn't it.
- Was he coming on to me?
- Shut up, Ben.
I don't want my baby
to be brought up in a home
where there's
no true intimacy
or a mutually nourishing
relationship.
I'm just saying
they seemed
to really care
about each other.
They seem really
well-meaning.
Who isn't?
Everybody is well-meaning.
They're well meaning.
LDS Social Services is well-meaning.
Look, I've held my tongue,
but I say give the baby to Mom and Dad.
I'm sorry, this whole thing
is crazy to me anyway.
Heather, please just
be on my side.
- Turn off the music, Ben.
- It's "Loaves and Fishes."
I don't feel like listening
to Christian Rock right now.
You're just gonna run away
to school in Arizona to hide the fact
that you're pregnant
from your family for nine months?
Just give it
to Mom and Dad.
No, I am not going
to give up my baby
to be brought up
in polygamy.
Do you know
who this is?
I know this woman.
This is one of Roman Grant's wives.
That's Adaleen Grant,
Roman's sixth wife.
She's the mastermind
who's been turning all your witnesses.
She's set up her operation
outside the prison. You'll find her there.
- How do you know all this?
- She called me this morning
making wild threats.
She's relentless.
She will not stop
until she has the keys to their rooms.
Bring her in
for questioning.
Let me ask you
something, Ray.
What would you think
if I could deliver Albert Grant to you,
get him to publicly
denounce his father
before the cameras
and in court?
Are you kidding?
Baby Grant makes
a public break with Papa?
I've been working him.
I think I can swing him.
By when?
Tomorrow?
I don't know. Soon.
I'll keep working.
Yeah.
What do you mean, "Go now"?
What are you
talking about? Oh!
I'm sorry to bring this
to your doorstep,
but I didn't know
what else to do.
Your father's gone
on a complete rampage
and he has threatened
to do me grave harm.
But what could have
set him off?
What do you think
triggered it?
I don't know.
It's just how he is.
But he has become
erratic
and a bit unbalanced
as he's gotten older.
We'll sort it out tomorrow.
Ben, take your grandma upstairs
to freshen up and shower and ask Sarah
to put out some clean clothes.
Thank you.
I truly
appreciate this.
I need to run
something else by you
and I want you to take five seconds
before answering.
I invited Alby over
for dinner tonight.
- No.
- I said five seconds.
- No.
- I'm trying to turn him to our side.
He's a nutcase.
He put snakes in our bed.
I know, Barb, but right now
getting Roman convicted
trumps everything else,
and Alby's critical.
I called Nicki.
She won't be home tonight.
She's working late.
It's important, Barb.
Alby craves attention and respect.
I'm telling you,
it will work.
It isn't here.
It is here.
It has to be here
because this is exactly
where I had it buried.
Get out of the hole.
Your poor father...
we've got to protect him from himself.
He's got an obsession
with that girl,
and it's not
a healthy obsession.
Rhonda is dangerous.
We need this money.
It's the only thing she cares about.
Mama, I was
in the Joy Book.
Dear Lord, this trial.
It's not his fault.
How could it be his fault?
Those girls
just love him.
And who wouldn't?
He is a prophet who walks among us.
Maybe some of them
didn't want to get married.
His heart's
just too big.
He just is throwing
caution to the wind over that girl.
I didn't want
to get married the first time.
How can you say that?
You don't mean that.
You were so proud
that day.
You looked so pretty
in that pink dress.
We sang together
all day
while we sewed
that dress.
Honey, if we don't find
this stash,
you're gonna have to give me what's left
of what you pinched from the UEB.
No, Mama, you said
if I gave you half, I could keep the rest.
You have to. Don't you see?
There is no other choice.
All right,
this is a bust.
- Where did you bury yours?
- In town.
Well, let's go get it.
We gotta get that girl
a one-way ticket out of town.
Let's go.
There's $30,000 in there
and I'm gonna get it.
We've got
to hurry now.
We went to Maui,
but, oh, it was so hot.
It was the off season.
But I bought three
lovely paperweights
for Father to put
on his secretaire.
- What is this?
- Summer gazpacho.
- Mine's just a bit cold.
- Oh.
Would you like me
to warm it up?
I'll help you.
Glory, why don't you
go lend a hand?
Your wife Barbara
is most gracious.
You married her for love,
didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Mm, I could tell.
I came to love late.
I married Lura for love.
Glory and Connie at home
were for the Principle.
But we all
get along well.
I'm glad to hear it.
I knew we had a lot in common,
but I admit
I didn't realize
it would go this well.
And in the spirit
of rapprochement, Bill,
I just want you to know
I'll see to it
that no charges will be filed
against your mother.
My mother?
For the torture and attempted murder
of your father.
Yes.
You know, I've been thinking
a lot about the transition after Roman
and what would make it
the smoothest for you.
Alby, I think you need
to be a bit more public.
Public? How?
By taking a strong
and decisive lead.
Indicate some of your
father's failures...
the things
that you and I know...
now, instead of
after the conviction.
So that's what
all this is about?
You've just been
trying to work me?
No, that's not it
at all.
I'm stating
a simple truth.
It's gonna happen,
Alby.
You're on the threshold
of history.
Lead the flock.
Show them the way.
Take a stand.
I think he's
getting ready to ask.
If it wasn't
so complicated,
I'd say yes
and try it and see.
But I guess this isn't
that kind of situation
that you can just
try out.
Well, if you're waiting
to be 1000% sure,
it's never gonna happen.
I wasn't.
Of course I had doubts,
but I just took the leap.
What if you don't like it
or if you damage your hair?
I know what I'm doing.
I read the instructions.
This is gonna be
so great.
Hello.
I have some news for you, Roman,
that I wanted to share.
I have your son, Roman.
Alby's gonna
turn on you.
He's gonna publicly denounce you
tomorrow morning.
I have your wife.
And she will never
love you
like she loves me.
Alby is a fool.
Besides,
I had a prophesy last night
how this will all turn out.
I will prevail.
So you'd best chose your
next steps carefully.
I'm giving you
one last chance
to counsel Kathy
not to take the stand.
She'll be there, Roman.
She will testify.
And so will Alby.
As you wish, son.
As you wish.
Sarah, hi.
I'm glad
you're not there,
but I want
to tell you this.
I just wanted to say
you've been right
all along.
I've been wrong.
I'm really confused
and messed up.
I know that now.
And maybe someday
we could be
friends again.
Turndown service.
Are you here
to kill me?
Oh, for heaven's sakes,
of course I'm not here
to kill you.
How much is it?
$30,000.
I suggest you take it
and run... tonight.
And make sure you don't
get caught by the cops.
But I'm Roman's
favorite again.
Oh, no, you're not.
And you've betrayed him
for the last time.
But they brought me here
against my will.
He's washed
his hands of you.
He's throwing you away
for the bad penny you are.
He doesn't love you.
An no one really cares
about you.
He doesn't want
to give you a nickel,
but I'm taking pity
on you.
It's more
than you deserve.
Take it.
Save yourself.
But he said
he loved me.
# The beauty of the lily,
Christ was born across the sea #
# In the glory of His bosom
that transfigures you and me #
# As he died
to make men holy #
- # Let us live to make men free... #
- Pervert! Pedophile!
# While God is marching on #
# Glory glory hallelujah #
# Glory glory hallelujah #
- # Glory glory hallelujah! #
- You pedophile, shut up!
I'm the Prophet
of Juniper Creek!
- It's Bill.
- Bill, it's me.
Joey?
What can I do for you?
Rhonda's gone.
She's disappeared.
Daggone it!
The DA called. She cleared out of
her room and vanished.
There's no one
he can't get to.
We can't do it alone, Bill.
It's tearing us apart.
You don't have to testify now, but Kathy
is on the stand tomorrow.
It's gonna be okay.
Listen to me.
I'm not listening, Bill.
In overnight developments,
Rhonda Volmer,
one of the two remaining
witnesses,
has apparently
dropped out of the case.
Several of Mr. Grant's
protestors...
...an aging self-proclaimed
prophet.
He has been charged
with sexual misconduct with a minor.
- Hello?
- Good morning.
Could you step
outside, please?
I'm not coming out to talk
today of all days, Mother.
No no, not to talk.
I've left a peace offering
outside your door.
- I didn't know we were fighting.
- Grandma, breakfast is ready.
Is that Lois?
I haven't seen her
in years.
- Mother.
- Excuse me.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois.
Lois!
Nancy.
It's been
a long time.
Is she having breakfast
too, Grandma?
Ask her yourself.
No, honey, thank you.
Lois...
Don't patronize me.
I know you think
I'm a dirty chinchilla.
You sadden me, Lois.
You always have.
Sweetheart, would you
run on back inside?
You have always
treated me like dirt.
Well, let me
tell you something,
Miss Fancy Madam...
I am not dirt.
Nor is my son.
So you stop treating us like it.
You were an abused woman.
I don't take that lightly.
Yes yes yes, sister.
Well, don't you worry.
I'm fine now.
Well, I tried
to help you.
I had you all set up
in that apartment,
but you had to
change your mind
and go back to that husband
and that culture...
everything that,
thank God, this trial
is at last
trying to expose.
Yes yes yes, thank you
for your concern,
but that's all
behind me.
I think the defense team
is gonna go after
the witnesses
credibility very strongly...
I know you gotta run.
Breakfast is ready.
Whoa there.
You didn't quite tell me
the truth about Dad, did you, Mother?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Oh, I think you do.
I have a headache
this morning.
Mother?
Nancy?
I came over
with a peace offering
because I can't do those trusts,
but Lois took my basket.
And I baked those things
from scratch.
What trusts?
I asked Mother to set up a trust fund
for the children.
Yes, but Ned advised
against it.
Apparently my portfolio
is performing very well
and he says it's not
a good year to get hit with capital gains.
I wanted to take
the pressure off.
If Mother could take care
of our three,
we could concentrate
on the rest of the children.
- Hello, Nancy.
- Mother, say hello to Nicki.
Hello.
Look, I gotta go.
Bill.
There's that woman again.
It's the new me.
What on earth have you gone
and done to yourself?
Mother, this is Ana.
Let's have our waffles.
Please don't
embarrass me.
How? You look
like a prostitute.
No, sweetie, you don't look
like a prostitute.
Barb?
I'm sorry, I just
can't look at you.
I like it.
Well, you look just like
a complete whore.
- Nicki.
- That is not fair!
You're awfully good with children.
Is that what you do here?
I've listened to all
of your complaints, Nicki,
all of your
grievances,
and you can't even
compliment me once?
I hope your father loses
and they send him up the river
for the rest of his life
'cause he's mean and creepy.
Whoa whoa whoa!
And just so you know,
we can't stand him and we're doing
- everything we can to bring him down!
- Margie.
Nicki, wait.
I didn't say one thing...
not one thing that's not the truth.
Margie, enough.
Well, if you're not
the babysitter, what are you?
Actually, I'm dating
the family.
I'm dating to become
the fourth wife.
Mother, please don't
say a word.
You don't need four.
You've got three.
That's celestial.
That's all you need
for now and eternity,
unless you're going
for a quorum.
What's a quorum?
- Seven.
- Seven?!
I told you this is all
just a whim for him.
It's a lifestyle
preference.
This is more than
a lifestyle.
It's what we believe.
It was your grandfather's faith.
You're a dabbler,
a gadfly...
monogamy, polygamy,
Home Plus, casinos.
You're wrong.
I love this woman
with all my heart.
And I love this woman,
heart and soul.
And this one, Margene,
as a blond or a brunette,
either way.
And Nicki, who helped
save your daughter's life,
who you both could
learn from,
because she doesn't stop loving
even when she should.
And we want this one
to marry us.
Right now.
Right away.
Will you, Ana?
L... I don't know
what to say.
How can you
let this happen?
Because I second
the motion.
And I propose too.
Me too.
Can I think it over?
Of course.
My beautiful
little sister,
when did our parents
ever care a thing for you?
And yet you're still
trying to please them.
How can you let yourself
be used by them
and do their bidding?
You don't even know
why I'm here.
What is it in you
that hates yourself so much?
What are you doing here?
Don't you lecture me
not to get involved
when apparently those rules
don't apply to you.
You're obsessed
with my father.
Nicki, go home right now.
Can't you understand
I love him?
The state calls
Katherine Marquart.
Now we're being told
that the prosecution's
star witness Kathy Marquart
has just entered...
Sarah, it's Kathy.
Our cameras got a look
at her
as she entered
the courtroom this morning.
Now as we said before
her testimony
as the key witness could be
the decisive blow
to the Roman Grant defense.
Now let's join News Team 4's own
Georgia Hinkby
who's been standing by live
at the courthouse.
As you can see
in the background...
Hey, I want you
to know,
whatever you want...
whatever
you want to do,
I'm with you, okay?
So you corroborate
your sister's testimony in every way?
Yes, sir. In every way
you asked me about.
Okay that'll be all,
You Honor.
Thank you.
Miss Marquart,
who is your sister?
And you are twins,
correct?
Yes, sir.
Would you say that you were close
with your sister?
Yes, sir, very.
I love Kathy more
than anyone in the world.
And you and your sister
were both married
to Ronald Hassen
at the same time?
Yes, sir,
for 11 years.
How old were you
on your last birthday?
29.
- 29?
- I'm pretty sure. I think so.
You think so?
We didn't celebrate birthdays
on the compound growing up.
We only celebrated
Joseph Smith's birthday, December 23rd.
Your sister Kathy says
that she is 27 now.
Kathy and I always argued
about how old we were.
How old were you
when you married Ronald Hassen?
Miss Marquart?
- 19.
- Your sister says
that you were both 16,
not quite 17.
Is she wrong?
Miss Marquart,
is your sister wrong?
- I don't know.
- Simple question...
in your opinion,
is you sister wrong?
I guess so.
Yes.
Do you have anything
to prove your age...
a birth certificate?
- We don't have birth certificates.
- Hospital records?
We don't have any.
We were born at home.
It's not unusual not to know how old
you were on the compound,
because nobody
ever told us.
That's all.
So maybe I was wrong.
Maybe l...
That's all,
Miss Marquart.
I'll entertain a plea.
In chambers.
Now.
Kathy, wait.
Whether you
appreciate it or not,
I'm doing this for you,
for what he did to you.
No, I can take care
of myself.
- Alby, where are you going?
- Home.
- I want you to talk to the DA.
- Are you a complete fool?
This is collapsing.
You crawl out on the limb if you want.
I'm playing
to fight another day.
Heavenly Father
knew best.
Our enemies
have been vanquished
and the righteous
have prevailed.
Clear 'em out of here.
Clear 'em out of here.
Gotta go.
# Holy holy holy #
# Lord God Almighty #
# Early in the morning #
# Our song shall rise
to meet. #
You made this possible,
my darling daughter.
Honey! Oh!
All right, all right,
all right.
Back off.
Back off.
- Are you all right?
- I can get up.
What happened?
Oh, gosh.
- Did you see it?
- I didn't see anything.
Charges of suborning rape
were dropped
and the self-styled prophet
pled to lesser charges
of false
imprisonment
with a six-month session
of victim empathy counseling,
during which time
he is not allowed to return
to his compound
at Juniper Creek.
So how old are you?
16.
How far is
Los Angeles?
About nine hours.
I'm so glad
to get out of here.
I'm going
to be free.
Do you want to hear
my demo?
Sure.
Just put it on.
