Big Love (2006–2011): Season 3, Episode 9 - Outer Darkness - full transcript

Buoyed by a visit from Barb and Margene, Nicki returns home after getting a call from Bill, but her spirits sag when his intentions become clear. Meanwhile, Barb faces excommunication; and Bill reconsiders his hard-line position o...

Here are some hot ones.

Dad, I really
can't eat anymore.

- Raymond, how about you?
- Yes, dad.

Attaboy.

Bill.

Bill,
Nicki is staying

in the big house
with Alby.

Doesn't that just figure?
Who told you that?

I called her. You don't
solve spats without speaking.

- This is more than a spat.
- You basically told her not to come home, Bill.

She's unfaithful
and it's my fault now?



She betrayed us, Bill,
not just you.

She's staying in her old
bedroom! Enough's enough!

I don't think it's the
worst thing in the world

that she's not here right
now when we're dealing

with her father's
involvement in kathy's death.

What are we
going to do, Bill?

Barb, you handle
the scheduling.

If you need something fixed,
you ask me or Ben.

Marge, you give Wayne and
Raymond a little extra attention.

That's what
we're gonna do.

And we are not gonna
contact her until I'm ready.

It's after 9:00.

I brought you some clothes.

Nicki, come on down.



There's no reason
to be embarrassed.

I'm scared.

I think I might have really
gone and done it this time.

What is it in us, Alby,
that makes us the way we are?

An unfortunate destiny.

We were born of parents

who have murder
in their hearts.

Do you really believe that papa
had a hand in kathy's death?

Yes. Yes, I do.

And you know it too.

I want to tell
you something.

When I was in the courthouse,
after the trial...

I pushed papa
down the stairs.

What?

You should have seen
the look in his eyes.

I want to tell
you everything.

You'll be so happy when you
see what's in store for them.

Come down now.

I'll have mama's
hummer brought round.

- You use it while you're here.
- You've taken her car?

I've taken her everything.
Papa's too.

I'm squeezing them dry.

I've cut off their
access to u.E.B. Funds,

- closed their
escrow accounts...

- what was that?
- Our father's handiwork

trying to destabilize me,

get the people
to turn against me.

It won't work.

Welcome home, sister.

If you lose Nicki,

how can you be sure Margie
won't be the next to go?

Before you know it,
you'll be alone.

Barb, the kids...
vanished...

- just like that.
- I can't lose my family, don.

I'm just saying it happens.

Iook at me.

What should I do?

You failed them.

You know it's
not Nicki's fault.

Hey, Chief.

Hey.

I got some good news
on the casino front.

Ted called
and is backing down.

He says he wants
to work out a compromise.

I'm meeting him tomorrow
to iron things out.

Oh, that's great.

So I should hold off
with the contractor?

Do you have any
apartments available?

- A two bedroom?
- Sure.

I have a tenant vacating
next week in fact.

- You stakg another family member?
- Maybe.

I'll let you know.

Do me a favor and check
with me before you rent it?

Will do.

Bill?

Yeah?

You look awful.

Trouble sleeping.

These men are
here to see you.

Ah...

bishop devery.

This is lowell Davis, president
of the sandy central stake.

How do you do?

- How can I help you?
- We'd like to talk to you for a few minutes.

Is this a bad time?

So you haven't
tithed in seven years?

Yes. No, I mean
we're not tithing.

We're inactive.

May we ask why?

We...
my husband and I

went through
a difficult time.

Um, I was very ill.

I remember.
We tried to support you

in every way
we knew how

with love and prayer
and home teachers.

Well, it meant
the world to me.

I was so grateful.

Barb, we've known
each other a long time.

You were once a shining
member of our church,

so I'm just going
to ask you outright...

are you living in
a polygamist relationship?

Yes.

I am so sorry to hear that.

How did this
come to pass?

My husband
had a testimony.

I see. Did you?

No. Uh...

no, I didn't,
not at first.

- But do you now?
- I think so.

(groans
I don't know.

I don't know,
I don't know.

Uh, sister Henrickson,
I must tell you that...

that we've come here
to determine

whether to call a stake
disciplinary council.

May I ask,
how many wives

has Bill brought
into your marriage?

Two.

There's three of us.

Come on.

I think it's gonna
be a good day.

Morning.

- It's a beautiful morning.
- Yes indeed.

And who is this
lovely young lady?

Kim Lee.

An nyung.

Excuse me.
You are?

Hollis singer Greene.

There is a brutish
and ungodly campaign

of religious tyranny,
satanic propaganda

and political violence
afoot in the world

and I wonder if I might
have a word with you

about a letter that has come
into your possession.

I'm sorry, we need to go. Come on,
honey, I forgot something inside.

A letter that by all
rights and privileges

belongs to me.

You see, I am a direct descendant
of one of the four apostles.

A lamb of God.

You would be wise
to give me that letter.

The jewelry business
is trickier than you think.

90% percent of women's wrists
are that size or bigger,

but every woman thinks she has
a small- to medium-sized wrist.

What else should you know?

And statistically, if you ask them, no
woman will say she has a large wrist.

And then you really do have
your large-knuckled women.

- That's a whole other thing... -
no, you missed... you missed the exit.

- That was the exit.
- No, I didn't.

That was the exit
to costco, Margie!

We're not going to costco.
We're going to get Nicki.

Uh, like fun we are.

- No no no no no.
- This is not how we do things.

- We do not separate.
- Margie, this is not the time, believe me.

- And I don't want to see her.
- Oh, so she had a crush.

Haven't you guys ever heard
of the seven-year itch?

There's more to it than that
and you know it.

Barb, anger festers.

It does. Before you
know it, it's infected.

And then it's gangrene. And
then you can't save the leg.

- Turn around.
- No.

- Just turn around!
- No!

I know you're furious,
but with Nicki up there,

- I'd feel a lot better if she was with you.
- I don't want her here.

She undermined us, Bill.
She betrayed us.

Okay okay, just forget it.

I'm sorry, but apparently,
I'm powerless to do anything

about Roman and seeing her
just rubs it in my face.

We're not powerless.
You got to have patience.

I feel like I'm hanging
on by a thread, Bill.

I know, Joey.
I know.

Both our families have
been shattered by this

but we can't do anything
stupid right now.

We've got to remain calm.

You should wear your
hair up a little more.

- Huh?
- Like your bangs.

Pull 'em back.

Show your face off more.
Try it.

But I've always
worn it this way.

Just try it.

Just swish
'em up a little.

Here.

Like that, see?

- I'm not sure this is right.
- No, it's good.

Now let it down.

It makes you look...

nicer.

Iook.

Wanda fixed my hair.

Joey, wait!
Don't go.

No, it's fine.
He likes it.

Did you run over any
ducks along the way?

- No.
- No?

- So where's Bill?
- Um, he didn't want to come.

Oh.

So he wanted you
to come and get me?

No.

Lura and I were just saying how
much we enjoy having Nicki with us.

Weren't we?

Bill's never appreciated
Nicki properly.

The truth is
she belongs here.

I draw strength from her.
You haven't treated her right.

Or should say you don't
know how to treat her.

I guess not.

Fine. Pardon me.

Um, Nicki, the fact is,
clinically speaking,

- I think you might be a sociopath.
- Barb, enough.

Well, I don't have to list
your transgressions.

You know what they are.
I'm tired of naming them.

It does no good because you're
never really remorseful anyway.

You know, sometimes I think
you're happy when I make mistakes

- just so you can lord it over me.
- That's ridiculous.

I know what you
really think of me.

I'm just compound trash to you,
Barb. That's all I've ever been.

I'm so tired of you acting
like you're better than me.

- Everyone calm down.
- She does the same thing to you too, Margie.

Oh, no. Don't you try to
divert from the matter at hand.

I have said I'm sorry, but then
you say that I don't mean it.

- What do you want me to do?
- I can't turn to you.

I can't count on you or lean on you
for support with any of my problems

because you have become
the source of my problems.

You've just driven
the love right out of me.

And I'm detaching.
Iook. This is me detaching.

I don't even know
what that means.

And now I'm going home.

But you have to take her.

But they have to take her.

I'm sorry. Barb was bad,
but, Nicki, you didn't help.

I expressly said
no contact with her,

- didn't I?
- Well, don't look at me.

I thought we were going to
costco. I needed ketchup.

And guess what, Bill?
I still need it.

Even if you did forbid us
from seeing her...

I'm trying to sort through this
and assess it from every angle.

I need time to do that.

That's not
how we do things.

We talk through things
and reach a consensus.

- Margie, I tried talking to her.
- Oh. No, you didn't.

You were stubborn
and mean as can be.

Mean? Mean?!

Do you know
what she has cost me?

Do you know?
It so happens that I'm facing

being called before a church
disciplinary council because of her.

I'm facing excommunication because
of her entry into my marriage!

What... what are you
talking about?

Bishop devery and
the stake president

came by and they
asked some questions.

- They know about us.
- What?

When? I'll go with you.

No, Bill, no. You'll
only draw attention to yourself.

Besides, I haven't been called
for an official hearing yet.

- They said they'd get back to me.
- Oh, honey, I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.
I'm fine.

I was only
pointing it out.

It's not like
we weren't expecting it.

It's just the cost of being
in this marriage, I guess.

Nicki, it's me.

This is doing neither
of us any good.

I want you to come home
tomorrow.

I'll leave work
a little early.

We'll meet and figure out
what's best for us.

End of message.

I don't understand.

Why are you being
so insistent?

I mean, why do you want
to go to the temple now?

Why are you giving me
the third degree?

I just want to go.

Yeah, but you're not worthy.
You haven't tithed.

You haven't
been interviewed.

I just don't understand
where this is all coming from.

Well, I'd have thought
you would want this.

Well, of course I do,
but the temple?

Why don't I just take you
to church instead?

I want to take
my endowments.

Well...

how do you
propose to get in?

One of you is going to lend
me her temple recommend.

Oh, no no no.

I can't do that.
We can't do that.

It was just
a few years ago

that we stopped
promising to disembowel

and slit throats
of people

who were monkeying around with
temple rules and procedures.

Mother, you don't believe
all that superstition.

I don't need you
to go telling me

what I believe
or don't believe.

- You'll get caught.
- Cindy?

Yes, why are you
being so quiet?

You of all people?

I guess I'm just
surprised is all.

I didn't think this
mattered to you anymore.

It does.

My life is in crisis
and I need to go.

What does that mean?
What's happening?

I just...

I... I...
I am begging you...

as a sister
and a daughter,

I'm... I'm...

I am begging.

- Don't beg.
- Please.

Here's where you got to
unscrew the drain plug.

No, here's where
I take it to quickie lube.

- Honey, they'll gouge you.
- I'm kidding.

We don't have to do this
tonight, you know, dad.

Would it kill you to let
your dad preoccupy himself?

No.

I think you
should forgive her.

Scott.

- Oh my God.
- Hey, Sarah.

Get out of here, Scott.
She doesn't want to see you.

- Ben, I'll handle this.
- You have any idea what you put her through?

- Do you?!
- Ah!

- Ben!
- Ben! Okay, come on, inside.

- You come back here, I'll do it again!
- Inside. Go on.

- Ben!
- I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you.

I can't believe you
went through that alone.

- I just didn't want to ruin your life.
- Is it broken?

No, I don't think so.

- Sarah, get in the house.
- He's bleeding.

- Go!
- No!

Sarah!

There's nothing you can
say to us, to any of us.

Stay away
from my daughter.

Hey, I didn't
know what happened.

I never meant
to hurt her.

Okay, but I take
full responsibility.

It's a little late for that.
You get in your car,

you drive away
and you never come back.

You understand?

It's so pretty there when
there's water in the creek.

We'll have
a farewell picnic.

Don't go back.

Thanks for taking me in...

but I don't
belong here, Alby.

You're not still mad at me about
that letter I sold, are you?

No.

I have bigger fish
to fry at the moment.

And anyway, if someone
needs a letter

to validate their faith,

what does that say
about their faith?

Before you go, I want to
share something with you.

I sold other letters...

before Bill got involved.

Those pretentious
greedy I.d.s.

They had me to the church
world headquarters.

First, just the office
of church historian,

but then the church
president's office.

They called me,

whisked me up and down

in a special
private elevator.

I got them
to pay me $50,000,

then $70,000...

for the letters I found.

They take my calls,
day or night.

It felt fine.

I'm so happy for you, Alby.

It's just the beginning of what
we can do together, you and me.

This gentleman

with dung on his boots
would like to see you.

What do you want?

I need to talk
in private.

You can meet me there
when you're through.

Yes?

Your father had
the Greenes at my place

and they totaled my truck.
I need that truck.

They promised
they'd replace it.

My father and the Greenes
were at your farm?

Hey, Ted.

- I'm sorry I'm late.
- Bill.

Hello. No problem. I know I
promised, but I couldn't wait.

I briefed Jerry on
the points we discussed.

Jerry?

Bill, why didn't you tell me
you wanted to make Ted a partner?

I have no problem with that. If
you want to fold him in for 10%,

fine by me as long
as it's out of your profits.

How dare you
and set me up like this?

10% of my business?!

- You're crazy.
- Am I?

Face it, I can make your
licensing problems go away.

Because you caused them.

I am not doing this
to have my way

or out of some sort of
misguided revenge.

- Don't give me that.
- I am trying to find a way to get us both off the ledge,

fighting about that letter. This
gives us shared, mutual interests

unless you'd like
to go explain to Jerry

that our spat has put your
license in complete jeopardy;

that your polygamist zealotry
means more to you

than his tribe's
business interests, yeah?

Then be my guest.

You know what, Ted? You can
wrap it up in homily and heart.

You can rationalize it
any way you want,

but the truth of the
matter is you're a prick.

Hello.

No hello?
No "great to see you J.J."?

How you been?

How's Bill?

You can stay mute
and I'll just guess.

We're fine.

Thanks.

Didn't mean to startle you.
Wanda knew I was back.

Back for good,
if I have my way.

You know,
I paid a big price

being unsealed to
the prophet's daughter.

I paid a price too.

I guess you did.

Go ahead, ask about her.
I know you want to.

How is she?

She's fine.

Couldn't be better.
Growin' like a weed.

She's here.

Do you want to see her?

No, I don't think so.

It's okay.
She won't recognize you.

I didn't think you'd be here.
This isn't what you think.

- I'm sorry about this.
- Get dressed.

Now!

Downstairs.
And bring the sheets.

Washer, please.

Hot water.

- Nicki, I am so
embarrassed... - don't.

Don't try and talk to me
like you're an adult

talking to another adult

because I just found you
in my bed with my daughter

after you impregnated
and abandoned her.

- But just now...
- zip zip zip!

I don't like you
and I don't trust you.

- Nicki, please don't tell.
- Nicki?

- It's mom and dad.
- It's just your mom.

- Just go hide, go on.
- Thank you.

Shut up.

I thought I heard someone.
You're back?

Yes. Bill asked me
to come home.

He's taking me
to branigan's.

Oh, well, I guess
it's all blown over.

Well, you're never going to be
held accountable for anything.

This degree of resentment
is not attractive on you, Barb.

- Now I need to go
and get ready.

Yeah, me too.
I have a lot to do today

before I'm
ex-communicated tomorrow.

Hello there.

O God, hear the words of my mouth.

O God, hear the words
of my mouth.

O God, hear
the words of my mouth.

What is that?

The second token of
the melchizedek priesthood.

- Has it a name?
- It has.

- Will you give it to me?
- I cannot. I have not yet received it.

For this purpose
I have come

to converse with the lord
through the veil.

You shall receive it
through the veil.

This is the name
of the token...

health in the navel,
marrow in the bones,

strength in the loins
and in the sinews,

power in the priesthood
be upon me,

and upon my posterity

through all
generations of time,

and throughout all eternity.

What is that?

The second token of the
melchizedek priesthood...

the patriarchal grip,
the sure sign of the nail.

- Has it a name?
- It has.

Will you give it to me?

I will, through the veil...

health in the navel,
marrow in the bones,

strength in the loins
and in the sinews,

power in the priesthood
be upon me

and upon my posterity

through all
generations of time

and throughout
all eternity.

What is wanted?

Eve, having conversed
with the lord through the veil,

desires to enter
his presence.

Let her enter.

This is just
a little foretaste

of what eternity
will look like.

This is what binds us
to each other.

Oh, let's just
sit for a moment

and soak up this
delicious feeling.

Oh, honey, what is it?

Mother, let her
have her moment.

I'm fine.

Here you are.

Oh, what?
Tell me.

I can't.

Mommy, why don't
you just let her be?

The stake president
has called me to love court.

The other shoe
is finally dropping.

I'm facing disciplinary
hearing tomorrow.

Why didn't you tell us?

I was embarrassed.
I was so ashamed.

No. No.

I thought... I thought you
were going to leave Bill.

No.

Oh... oh,
I can't bear this.

I can't bear
the thought of losing you.

- Leave him.
- Oh, Cindy.

You can stop this. This
is your chance to get away.

Just say you're sorry
and be repentant.

- Don't pursue the letter.
- Cindy.

- I didn't mean it to come to this, I didn't.
- Shh!

L...

you didn't mean
what to come to this?

Cindy,
answer my question.

I'm sorry.
Your 15 minutes are up.

I don't want to lose you.

I've thought
about this a lot.

This isn't easy for me,

but I love you more
than you'll ever know.

- Breadsticks?
- Yes, please.

What was I saying?

You haven't
said anything yet.

I need to end
this marriage.

- What?
- It's become clear to me through your actions...

that you will only sow unrest
and unhappiness for our family.

And, frankly, I think
what you've done shows

that you don't want to be
in this marriage anyway.

Oh, no no.
Don't do that.

Don't turn this into you
think I want it to be over.

If you want it
to be over, just say so.

- I want it to be over.
- No you don't!

I found you
an apartment...

don's building.
It's close by.

You will not take
my children away from me.

Of course
I wouldn't do that.

We'll work it out so...

they're part
of everyone's lives.

We'll move you in
on the weekend.

Bill, this is our life.

We made a sacred
commitment to each other.

What about Barb
and Margene?

You haven't told them!

You can't do this
to me. No, Bill, no way.

Barb, I know we haven't been
able to come together on this.

I know you don't believe me,
but you have to trust me,

because Bill is about to ship me off
to one of don's cruddy apartments.

Yeah, gee, I sure wish someone would
have asked me if I wanted a divorce!

Barb, would you stop?
What are you doing?

I want everything of hers
out of my house... everything!

Cindy is the one
who set it all in motion.

- It all goes back to that darn letter.
- How do you know that?

She told me.
I went to the temple.

- I went with her and my mother.
- And you didn't tell me?

Hello? Excuse me!

I didn't want to seem
like I was questioning you.

I didn't feel I was
allowed to miss it,

but I do miss it.

I miss the ritual
and the sense of purpose.

Bill, we're just... we're just
free-floating out here.

Barb, we really need
to talk about me now.

All right, Nicki, I'm about
to be cast into outer darkness.

And Bill is about to throw
me out of my own home!

Okay, I for one
believe Nicki is truly sorry.

We have no structure.
We have no church.

And I'm about to be
called before mine.

And, Nicki, I don't know if I
want to be married to you anymore.

Okay, Barb, please.

I really need you to get
back in the saddle right now,

because we're about
to lose everything here.

Margie is right, Bill. You should
have at least talked to us first.

- But you said you wanted a separation.
- Cindy.

- So you want a divorce too?
- At this moment, I don't know what I want!

Well, stop torturing me
and make up your mind

what?

They called with
a ransom demand.

It's the infamous letter.

They're your friends,
the Greenes.

How... how did they
find out about the letter?

That's one of the questions
the F.B.I. May have for you.

What's your
relationship to Hollis Greene?

- None whatsoever.
- Well, for your benefit, I hope to heck that's true.

Ted, come here.

You know as well as I do
that the church

will never release
that letter.

I know that now. I called the
church when I got the demand.

They made it clear that
this has to be kept quiet.

It can't turn into
an elizabeth smart thing.

Well, that's probably in their best
interests, but not necessarily yours.

I should have never
gotten involved with this.

I should have never
gotten involved.

I brought this on us.

What should I do?

We do whatever we have to
to get your daughter back.

Thank you...

for being here.

You're welcome.

From the moment
that I saw Kim Lee,

I knew
she belonged to me.

L... I really didn't think
that it would matter.

I mean, the way that you
carried on about that letter,

I really thought you had
moved way beyond the church.

We'll never get the original
letter back from the church,

but I have some proof
that the letter existed.

I think the Greenes will settle for
it, if you can talk them into it.

Selma's your sister. She can
get Hollis to listen to you.

All right.

Let me see
if I understand you.

Alby sold the letter and Hollis
kidnapped some girl to get it.

I help you get the girl,
you do what you can

to get my probation
is lifted.

That's the deal?

You may enable
my return to the compound.

I'll have to find some
special way to thank you.

I'm doing this
for the greater good.

As if there were
such a thing.

"More fun than
a barrel of monkeys"!

- Moron!
- You think this is some kind of joke?

I'd rather see you rot in
jail for the rest of your life

than have to come
to you with this.

I scratch your back,
you scratch mine, huh?

You're exploiting a kidnapping
to get your "prophet" off.

You'll understand if I'm a little
hesitant to be duped by you people again

and in front
of the F.B.I.

I had nothing to do
with Nicki working here.

I have an
authentication report.

Roman thinks he might be able
to get the Greenes to accept it.

But for the F.B.I. To act, you've
got to sign off on it first.

Three days ago you wanted

to get him for an alleged
murder of kathy marquart.

- Now you want him free.
- What would you do?

A child's life
is on the line.

The Greenes murder
with impunity.

No one's ever been able
to bring them to justice.

You could.

- Why would we trust him?
- Because Roman is desperate

to get back on the compound.

I will not recommend
lifting his probation

until after the girl
is safely released.

We get her, he can go back to
that stupid rock he loves so much.

Oh, there's one more thing.

You should know there's
an open investigation

going on upstairs on you
and your wife's involvement

in obstruction of justice.

This is a limited-use deal.

When we get evidence
of your involvement

in kathy marquart's death,
or any other crime,

you're indicted.

You better be on the level.

I know every hidey-hole
they hide in.

I need to get my
blue dress shirt.

Are the boys asleep?

Soundly.

You think they'll
get her back?

I don't know.

Your father's
making a deal...

with Ray Henry.

Are you hungry?

I could heat
something up for you.

No, thanks.

- Barb?
- I dreamt I was cast out

into outer darkness.

It was black.
It was so black.

I was alone and...

and I knew you
couldn't find me.

You won't be cast
into outer darkness.

You're a righteous woman.
You're a good woman.

I understand, Barb.

I understand
what you're feeling.

You passed through
the church for 15 years.

I've been in it all my life
for six generations.

You can't possibly
know what it's like.

I don't know why we've been
called to live in a time

when no one holds the keys

and there's
no one to lead us...

when the church
is as corrupt as Roman

and we drift in between,

but I know
there's a reason.

We won't be cast
into outer darkness.

Have faith.

I'm so scared.

If you're doing
what I think you're doing...

you don't sneak up
on people.

That's bad news, what you're
up to, and you'd better stop it.

It's unnatural
and it's ghoulish.

You're playing with a loaded
gun. It's a loaded gun, boy.

She's married to your
father, for heaven's sake.

What's going on?

Uh...

jodean, brother Henrickson,

sister Lois.

I have some
information for you.

The Greenes were back and
staying at the mcconkie farm

under the direction
and care of my father.

They were there the night
kathy disappeared.

A pickup truck was
totaled in an accident.

I thought you might
like to know this.

I wanted to say I'm sorry
before, about the hair.

I didn't mean
to spook you.

It's okay, I guess.

I just...
I don't want to...

encourage Wanda to do
things like that.

It can get confusing.

I understand.

I can feel her here.

Does that sound crazy?

It used to be if she'd get
a toothache, I'd get one too.

One time, I was away
in kansas for the summer

and she broke
her arm and...

and I called our mother
and I said,

"I know kathy
must have done something

because my left arm
won't stop throbbing."

And wouldn't you know...

wait! Jodean!

Wait, jodean!

The dead girl's in the truck!

The dead girl's
in the truck again!

Hey! Come back!

The dead girl's
in the truck again.

After dinner...

I've spoken to your father.
He's agreed to unseal us.

Barb! Marge! Help.

He wants to take me
to be unsealed.

- You can't!
- Bill.

Why are you looking at me
like I'm the monster?

But I don't want to lose Nicki
for all time and eternity.

Barb, please. I know
you're angry right now

because of what
the church is doing,

but that doesn't give you an
excuse to just Chuck everything.

Your family ought to mean more
to you than some church anyway.

- Margie, there isn't any difference between the two.
- Bill, you forgave Ana!

Both of you did.
Why not me?

Because your transgressions threaten
this family's ability to survive.

You can't blame
everything on me.

I'm not, but the damage
you inflict on this family,

on this marriage,
is dangerous.

There is something
in you,

something deeply broken,

and I don't know
how to fix it.

Well, let's begin.

Are you taping
this hearing?

No.

Let me ask you again: Are
you taping this hearing?

No I am not.

Nothing in your purse,
on your phone?

Would you mind if we removed
your bag from the room?

Have you had some time
to pray and reflect

upon your situation
since we spoke?

I have.

Are you still upholding
your temple covenants?

Yes,
but my interpretation

might conflict with yours.

Well, for example, are
you wearing your garments?

Uh, president Davis,

are you asking me
to tell you

what kind of underwear
I have on?

Okay, let's get back
to the matter at hand.

Barb, there is still
an opportunity for you

to find your way
back to the church.

Will you repent?

You know that polygamy
is a misguided abomination.

It's a shameful practice
that has no place

in the modern church.

Was this hearing requested

directly from
church headquarters?

Did you receive
instruction?

I don't see
how that's relevant

to your decision
to live in clear, open

and deliberate opposition
to the church

and its leaders.

I believe this is not
just about polygamy,

but about a certain letter
that my husband

helped to purchase
for the church.

I believe
I am being punished

for trying
to bring to light

the truth that letter exposed
about the practice of the principle.

Sister Henrickson, as our
elder packer has said before,

we all know that
there is a temptation

to tell everything,
whether it's worthy

or faith-promoting or not.

Some things that are true

are not very useful.

You... you openly
disparage my family,

but you hide the truth
about our history.

And that's the reason you
don't want this hearing taped.

No, Barb. We sincerely want
to help you escape this life.

Don't turn against us.

Will you repent?

No.

I love the church.

I love it
more than I can say,

but I believe

the church
and its leaders

are in grave error
on polygamy

and on the kinds of marriages
and families it creates.

I can't forsake
my family.

What will it serve you
to have your family now

when your eternal
salvation is lost?

Think about it, Barb.

I have.

Barbara dutton
Henrickson,

henceforth, your name shall be
removed from the records

of the church of Jesus Christ
of latter-day saints.

You will not be allowed
to partake of the sacrament.

The sacred ordinances
that bind you to your family,

your ancestors
and your progenitors

- for all eternity...
- ? E'en though ?

... are severed.
- ? it be a cross ?

? that raiseth me?

? still all ?

? my song shall be ?

? nearer ?

? my God ?

? to thee ?

? nearer ?

? my God ?

? to thee ?

? nearer ?

? to thee ?

? though like ?

? a wanderer ?

? the sun ?

? gone down... ?

Joey?
You in here?

Joey, where are you?

Hey.

Mom told me
you were here.

She's worried
about you, Joey.

Why don't you come down?

He murdered kathy.

And this is
where it happened.

This is where she was
before she died.

We have to have
evidence.

I have all I need.

He was working with the
Greenes and they murdered her.

How do you know that?

Alby.

Joey, I helped Roman

make a deal
with the prosecutor.

He's giving them
information about the Greenes

in exchange for a
lifting of his probation.

How could you do that?

There's a little girl, Joey.
She's been kidnapped.

- So it's okay that kathy's dead?
- Of course not,

but this girl's life
is at stake.

What if it had
been Barb, Bill?

What if it
had been Nicki?

His only punishment
has been exile.

Roman will be punished.

He took her from me
before we were married,

before we were sealed.

If I had been sealed,

I could see her again.

- It'd have been worth it to die.
- Stop it!

A horrible thing happened, but
don't let it take your life.

Joey, you have
a wife and a son

and they need you.

You just go home
to your three wives.

Nothing ever touches you.

You don't know anything
about my life,

about what I face
every day!

I can't sleep!

Heavenly father's throwing
every trial in the book at me!

Yeah, well maybe

it's the heavenly father's
judgment, Bill.

Maybe it's his
retribution.

We're not
brothers anymore.

Joey.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
