Season 01 Episode 07
Title: "The Missionaries"
- Darn it all.
- Elder, please.
Sorry,
it's just...
It's exhausting.
Is it just me or do they seem
to be getting more mean lately?
I think it's just been
a long day.
A lot of long days.
Long months.
I heard Elder Cade and Elder
Jason didn't get any.
We'll get one.
- How do you know?
- 'Cause I believe.
I believed
we'd get a ton.
You know, just because they don't
convert right in front of us
doesn't mean they're
not gonna convert.
I mean, maybe down the line,
they'll come around.
I know. I remember.
I'm just saying
it's a long process,
so don't get down,
Elder.
I'm not down.
I guess I'm just starting to...
I think we started something very real and
promising with Sister Halfon the other day.
I think with steady work
and dedication,
she could be
our very first convert.
Really?
I mean, we were there
for over an hour and a half.
She was obviously
engaged.
She was definitely
interested.
What are you
insinuating?
She was hot
for you, Elder.
- Stop. Stop it.
- What? I didn't say anything bad.
- Okay, but you're thinking it.
- Oh, come on.
You don't have
those kinds of thoughts?
If I do, I just don't
entertain them at all.
What do you do, then?
I pray to Heavenly Father.
- What? I do.
- Okay, I'm just saying
if I was you and Sister Halfon
was looking at me like that,
I'd have a hard time
focusing on my prayers.
All right, well,
if you don't mind,
I'd like to do
just that right now, okay?
Let's pray
to the Heavenly Father
and ask for His
intervention and help,
and hopefully
we can get one convert.
At least one.
It doesn't
bother you?
What?
- That we've asked God
for help for so many straight days
and He hasn't
helped us yet.
Like I said, conversions don't
just happen on the spot.
I heard you, but...
don't you ever have...
doubts?
What do you mean
by doubts?
I mean...
You know
what I mean.
I don't think
that I do, Elder.
- What do you mean by doubts?
- Well,
I'm not sure this isn't
a big waste of time.
Nobody wants
to talk to us.
We're spending so much
of our own money.
Couldn't we have helped a lot
of people with that money?
Wouldn't that be better
spent someplace else?
Like go to an orphanage and
give it to the children there.
Hmm.
And look, I'm...
I'm 20 years old
and I have urges.
I feel them.
Is that a sin?
Why would He create those
urges in the first place?
And...
darn it all.
I had coffee.
You...
You what?!
It was at the free
Holiday Inn buffet.
It was last month.
I tried it.
I can't believe...
I can't believe this!
- Why did you do that?
- It was delicious, Joseph.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
You need to pray for forgiveness.
- Right now. Here, I'll pray with you.
- I don't wanna pray for forgiveness.
Well, what do you
wanna pray for?
Maybe I don't feel
like praying.
Uh, well, I think
you should start praying
because you drank coffee
and you're talking about
- really strange urges.
- Fine, then.
I'll pray
for a sign.
- A sign?
- Yes.
That this is
the true path.
Okay, then.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Let's pray for a sign,
then, together.
Good.
Should we consult
our scripture?
Yes.
All right.
Yeah.
What was that?
Um...
I believe
that was, um...
pornography.
Joseph, do you know
what this means?!
We prayed for
a sign from God,
and pornography appeared
on our television set!
No, actually... I actually didn't start
praying yet, so that's impossible.
- Come on, don't deny this!
- All right,
there must be some kind of
explanation here.
Here, like...
Oh, hmm, see?
It was the television remote
that was under the pillows.
That must've turned on
the pornography.
Right at the exact moment we asked
Heavenly Father for a sign.
The exact spot
you sat down!
Okay,
Heavenly Father
would not send us
pornography as a sign.
- How do you know?
- Because I think I know Heavenly Father
- well enough to know that.
- But do you really?
Yeah.
I mean, what kind of
sign would that even be?
I don't know,
but I'm excited
to discuss
and explore with you.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
Okay,
I'm just gonna...
And just... just...
Here, cover it.
Like this.
And then it's...
- There.
- Relax!
- Now it's all...
- Everything's okay.
Everything's okay?!
Everything's okay?
We just watched
pornography.
We watched pornography
and you drank coffee.
I don't know
what's happening to us.
Everything is not okay.
Everything is absolutely not okay.
Okay... okay, um...
Relax, it's okay.
Listen to me,
you're okay.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's no big deal.
There.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Why?
- I don't know.
- I don't know either.
Why'd you ask... ask if I'm
okay if I'm obviously okay?
- Okay, you're okay.
- Yeah, I'm okay.
I just sort of...
You know,
I just get tired
of sitting on one bed.
So bored of that,
so I jump to the other one.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna go take a shower.

Are we starting with the
Arena Subdivision tomorrow?
Um, sure.
Do you have a clean
garment top I can borrow?
Yes, I do.
You mad at me?
Why would
I be mad at you?
I didn't mean
to make you uncomfortable.
Oh, I'm not uncomfortable.
You're my friend,
and when you stray, I help
you get back on the path.
I'm not sure
that's what happened.
Sure, it is.
You were
having doubts
and I helped you
reconfirm your faith.
'Cause I don't have
any doubts.
Okay, well,
I'm gonna go to sleep.
See you
in the morning, Elder.
See you
in the morning.
What are you doing?
Elder Jensen,
you left me?
I know,
I'm sorry.
What's going on?
- How'd you get it?
- He didn't even ask for my identification.
I could've been
anyone.
Okay.
So, for argument's sake,
let's say that
the pornography was a sign.
Okay.
To me, that can
only mean one thing...
St. Augustine.
- Who?
- Oh, he was a saint
from the Catholic faith.
He was
a very real sinner.
What... what were
his sins?
Every sin
you can think of.
But he was on a very similar
conversion crusade to ours,
and when he finally found God
and he repented,
he became one of the
greatest saints of all time.
Because
he had sinned.
Right,
because he had sinned.

So then over the
loudspeaker, I just hear,
"Keep your hands and feet
inside the ride."
And I was just like,
"Oh, no."
I wanted to put
my hands up in the ride.
- What did you do?
- So I waited until we got to the top.
It was like...
As soon as we got to the
top, I look over to see
if no one was looking,
and I was like...
- No!
- I just put my hands up.
And I was like,
"Am I gonna get arrested?"
Oh, yeah,
I definitely fuck for money,
but I also do it
for fun.
- Why is that?
- Well, because I'm great at it.
- Oh, really?
- Uh-huh.
How do I know you're
telling the truth?
Maybe you should pull over
this taxi and find out.
Oh, you're gonna show me?
I'll show you.
Whoa.
Wow.
Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw Sister Wilber's
vagina once...
- Yeah?
- After church.
I helped her
into her car
and I saw it
through her underwear.
- You did?
- Yes.
It was awesome.
I imagined what
it would feel like.
Like a peach.
To place my parts
on her part...
Darn it all!
Oh, oh, my gosh.
Hey, Elder?
Yeah?
Is this normal?
We didn't break
something?
I don't think so.
Yay,
you're awake!
- Yeah.
- Guess what.
Here, I got us
some coffee.
Here.
How'd you sleep?
Um, not great.
You?
Eh, I slept all right.
Hey, I was thinking
maybe instead of going to
the Arena Subdivision today,
we go to a movie.
I actually saw this movie in the
paper called "Gangsta Love."
I don't know. I haven't really heard
of it, but sounds interesting.
What? You okay?
Uh, yeah,
just waking up.
Coffee's good for that.
Aren't you gonna drink
your coffee?
We need to talk
about last night.
Um, okay.
It was crazy.
Yeah. I mean, we could
call it a lot of things.
We could call it, you know,
new and inspired and eye-opening,
but, yeah, in all fairness,
it was... it was a bit crazy.
Well, I guess
I'm starting to...
Are you having
some doubts?
- Well, yes.
- Okay.
That is really a big thing
for you, isn't it?
Okay, well,
let's get into it.
- We drank beer, Elder.
- I know.
- I was really drunk.
- Yeah, so was I.
Okay, I think if Heavenly
Father actually exists,
then I think He was there
with us last night.
I think He was guiding us
through this... this change.
And if that's true, then maybe
this change wasn't so bad.
- Elder...
- No, no, let me finish.
My world has opened up and I
can't go back to my old world.
And if that's what Heavenly
Father brought us last night,
then I'd like
to try it again and more.
I'd like to drink beer
and laugh and explore,
you know, like normal
people our age do.
I just feel like... - Are you
saying you wanna leave the church?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But I do know that...
I definitely
wanna go further
before I even consider
going back.
What are you doing?
I'm pushing,
pushing further.
Let's just try everything.
Let's just go for it.
Elder, I'm not...
You know, actually,
we don't know we are.
Like, that's the really great
thing, is we can just try stuff
and kind of
figure it out.
I'm really interested.
- I can't...
- I'm really interested
- and I know you are, too, and...
- I can't.
And you're
my best friend.
- I can't.
- Oh, but you definitely can, Elder.
Noah.
- Just...
- Get away from me.
Noah, it's okay.
Elder?
Elder!
Elder, please wake up.
Please wake up.
Joseph.
Joseph.
Joseph.
Joseph, wake up.
Wake up!
Elder. Elder!
Joseph!
Joseph.
Joseph!
Joseph.
This is supposed to work!
Wake up.
Please wake up.
What is this?
Was...
Is this...
the sign
we asked for?
Or are we
being punished?
I don't understand
any of this...
anymore.
I feel...
that You have
forsaken me.
You have tempted...
Oh.
Did I just, uh...
Uh-huh.
And then
I just came back?
Uh-huh.
It's a sign.
It's a miracle.
Let's pray.
- We should get going.
- Okay.
- Wanna start with the Arena Subdivision?
- Yes, sounds good.
48 more days to go.
We'll get one, Elder.
I know we will, Elder.
Elder?
You thinking about...?
Yes.
Shall we offer it up
to St. Augustine?
