Man on radio:
...we've got a four-car
injury accident

that's closed down
the number one and two lanes.

The highway patrol
is telling us they
should have it reopened

by the time the rush hour
commute gets into full swing.

For those of you already
in the downtown area,

please be advised
that Main Street is closed

between 3rd and 7th...

( cell phone rings )

- HELLO.
- Lois: Say, I've been
thinking.

- Bill: Hey, Mom.
- HELLO.

THANKS FOR GETTING
BACK TO ME. I JUST WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT JOEY.

- NOT OPEN.
- I spoke with Roman.

HE'D RATHER
THE INVESTIGATION GO AWAY

THAN HAVE THE STATE
GET INVOLVED IN IT.

Gee,
that's good to hear

because that's what
I wanted to tell you.

I've had time
to think clearly.

YOU PEOPLE CAN SAY
WHAT YOU WANT,

BUT IF ANYONE COMES
TO INVESTIGATE ME,

I'M JUST
GONNA TELL THE TRUTH.

WHOA, WE'RE ALL TELLING
THE ESSENTIAL TRUTH.

No, I'm talking
about the real truth.

I'VE GOT TOO MUCH
TO LIVE FOR

TO GET CAUGHT UP
IN SOME RINKY-DINK COVER-UP.

What are you doing
at a laundromat?

LAUNDROMAT--
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOUR WASHING MACHINE
BREAK DOWN?

I'M AT THE GAS STATION.

SAYS "BOWMAN'S
LAUNDROMAT."

SAYS WHERE?

THE CALLER I.D.
ON MY PHONE--

THE THING ON FRONT
THAT TELLS YOU WHO'S
CALLING AND FROM WHERE.

( beeps )

HOW DO I LOOK?
YES, NO?

GEE, HONEY,
YOU LOOK GREAT.

WELL, EVERYONE IN MY CLASSES
ARE IN THEIR EARLY 20s.

I LIKE BEING OLDER.
I JUST DON'T WANNA LOOK IT.

HEY, DON'T EAT THAT
FOR BREAKFAST.

GOOD MORNING.

NICKI, MY LAST CLASS
IS AT 4:00.

- WOULD YOU MIND COOKING?
- TONIGHT?

- THANKS.
- BENNY!

I'M SO NERVOUS.
YES, NO?

LOSE THE SCARF.

- WHERE'S DAD?
- HE'S LOOKING FOR YOU.

MMM, THAT'S A GOOD DANISH.
HOMEMADE? SEE YOU LATER.

Bill:
WORK'S A BLESSING.

REMEMBER, WE'RE CO-PARTNERS
WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

IT'S OUR TASK TO FINISH
THE WORK HE LEFT UNDONE,

HARVESTING THE OCEANS,
MINING THE COAL.

YES, SIR.

WORK AND INDUSTRY ARE
OUR PARTICULAR TRADEMARKS
AS A PEOPLE.

- I DON'T WANT ANY
SPECIAL TREATMENT.
- GOOD.

NO BOSS'S SON FAVORITISM.

AND HOW ARE YOU DOING?

- I THINK I'M OKAY.
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG?
- NO.

MOM SAID SHE WANTED
TO MEET MY GIRLFRIEND.

BRYNN?

I'D LIKE
TO MEET HER TOO.

IS SHE PRETTY?

YEAH, THE THING IS,

I DON'T WANT HER
TO MEET JUST YOU AND MOM.

I WANT HER
TO MEET EVERYBODY.

I WANT HER TO MEET
EVERYONE TOO.

BRYNN KNOWS, DAD.

SHE KIND OF
FIGURED IT OUT.

IT'S OKAY.

I JUST REALLY WANT HER
TO MEET ALL OF US.

OKAY.

HEY, HERE IT IS.
HERE IT COMES.

Ben:
WHAT THE HECK?

PULL OVER.
CHECK YOUR BLIND SPOT.
PULL OVER.

( new wave music playing
on radio )

- THE SIGN DOWNTOWN.
- I KNOW. I KNOW.

I ALREADY CALLED THE SIGN
COMPANY. THEY'RE SENDING
A CREW DOWN TO RESTORE IT.

WHEN? EVERY HOUR
1000 CARS PASS BY.

LET'S SAY HALF HAVE
NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS.

THEY'RE SENDING A CREW
DOWN IN HALF AN HOUR.

DID YOU DRIVE IN
ON STATE STREET?

WE KNOW. WE KNOW.
DON, I WANT YOU TO GO
DOWN AND SUPERVISE.

MAKE SURE IT'S COMPLETELY
TAKEN CARE OF.

- ALL RIGHT.
- YOU NOTICE WHO ISN'T
AT WORK TODAY?

GEE, SOMEONE NAMED WENDY.

IT'S NOT LIKE HER
TO BE LATE OR MISS A DAY.

GEE, IT JUST HAPPENS
TO BE THE DAY OUR SIGN
IS DEFACED.

COME ON, SHE COULDN'T
CLIMB A 40-FOOT LADDER.

NO ONE'S SAYING SHE
CLIMBED UP THERE HERSELF.

BUT SHE KNOWS AND SHE TALKS.
ANYONE MIGHT HAVE OVERHEARD.

THAT SCRAWNY WITCH.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER
EIGHT SIGNS?

TWO ARE OKAY.
THEY'RE CHECKING
ON THE OTHERS.

BUT THIS ONE'S
THE MOST VISIBLE,
THE MOST PROMINENT.

- THE ONE THAT
HURTS THE MOST.
- I KNOW. JUST GO.

SUPERVISE.
MAKE SURE IT GETS DONE.

WE'VE GOT THAT
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
MEETING AT 11:00.

- IF YOU GO NOW,
YOU CAN BE BACK IN TIME.
- RIGHT.

( Gospel music playing )

( Rhonda singing )

SORRY, FOLKS.
THIS IS A NECESSARY
INTERRUPTION.

SORRY, DARLING.

JOEY.

Joey:
So you left me
a message about Mom?

YEAH, IT WOULD BEHOOVE US
IF YOU WENT OVER TO SEE HER.

- What?
- BEHOOVE. I SPOKE
WITH HER AN HOUR AGO

AND SHE'S THREATENING
TO DEVIATE FROM THE PARTY LINE.

- How so?
- SHE'S SPINNING AROUND
ON A TEAR.

"THE TRUTH.
I'VE GOT TO TELL THE TRUTH."

ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE'S SOME
SORT OF BETSY ROSS.

JUST GET OVER THERE
AND TALK SOME SENSE INTO HER.

Bill:
You hear me?

SO YOU WANT ME
TO GO TALK TO MOM?

She thinks I bully her,
but she's protective of you.

SO PLAY TO HER SYMPATHIES.
SUGAR HER UP.

BUT GET HER BACK
INTO THE FOLD.

GOT IT.

We stick to the story.

JOEY, I HAVE EXPOSURE HERE.
I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU,

BUT I WENT WAY OUT
ON A LIMB FOR YOU ON THIS.

You're talking
to Mr. Cover-Up.

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE,
ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT.

UNDERSTAND?

LOOK, I GOTTA GO.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

I'LL TALK TO HER,
BILL.

TOMORROW THERE WILL BE
A VOTE ON A UEB MATTER,

WHICH YOU WILL NOT
TELL BILL ABOUT.

AFTER THAT,

WE'LL SEE.

JOEY,
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA
WORK OUT JUST FINE.

( chuckles )

WE'VE GOT THEM
ALL NOW.

ALL OF THEM
CAN BE PROSECUTED.

NONE OF THEM
WILL BE PROSECUTED.

I'M INSTRUCTING
OUR POLICE

TO WIND UP
ANY INVESTIGATION.

JOEY HENRICKSON
IS NOW OUR PAWN.

THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT
TO OUR HOLY PEOPLE.

- PAPA--
- I HAVE BUILT THIS
HOLY ORDER UP

FROM A NOTHING BURGHER
TO A THRIVING COMMUNITY

OF THOUSANDS
OF RIGHTEOUS SOULS.

AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO INVITE
SOME SIDESHOW INVESTIGATION--

BUT THEY POISONED ME,
AND THEY WERE ALL IN ON IT.

I DON'T CARE IF THEY
GOT UP ON THE TABLE

AND DANCED
THE TOOTSIE-WOOTSIE.

IT'S OVER.

DROP IT.

ALBERT.

IT WOULD NOT BE
A SMOOTH MOVE

TO POKE A STICK
IN YOUR FATHER'S EYE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, MOTHER.

( telephone rings )

IT'S BARB.

- HELLO.
- DID YOU DEPOSIT
THAT $325

IN THE HOUSE ACCOUNT THAT
I ADVANCED YOU FOR THE RUG
SHAMPOOER LAST WEEK

that you said
you'd deposit?

- UM, NO.
- Nicki, darn it.

I'M SORRY, BARB,
I FORGOT.

MY TUITION CHECK
BOUNCED.

I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY,
BUT I FORGOT.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU COULD MAKE
THE DEPOSIT TODAY.

DO YOU HAVE THE MONEY?

DO YOU HAVE THE MONEY,
NICKI?

YES, I--
IT'S JUST A BOUNCED CHECK.

IS MAKING A DEPOSIT
SOMETHING YOU THINK
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO?

- YES.
- THANK YOU.

GOODBYE.

I HOPE YOU'RE STILL
GOING TO YOUR DEBTORS
ANONYMOUS CLASSES.

I'M NOT SAYING WE'RE
NOT HAPPY TO HAVE YOU
BACK IN THE FOLD, BARB,

BUT I FIND THAT
REALLY OFFENSIVE.

- I CANNOT BELIEVE THE NERVE
OF THAT WOMAN.
- HMM.

DO YOU HAVE $60?

I NEED TO MAKE SOME
STUPID DEPOSIT FOR BARB.

Albert:
TOXICOLOGY REPORTS,

PHYSICIAN'S NOTES...

KIDNEY SCANS.

ANTIFREEZE
ATTACKS THE KIDNEY.

MY KIDNEYS ARE NOW
SUSCEPTIBLE TO FAILURE.

HERE'S THE NOTE
THEY PUT AROUND ME.

Detective:
THEY POISONED YOU,

BUT THEN TOOK YOU
TO THE HOSPITAL?

YES, SIR.

I'M NOT SAYING IT ADDS UP.
THE CRIMINAL MIND

IS NOT RATIONAL.

THESE ARE DANGEROUS
PEOPLE, SIR.

AND THE JUNIPER CREEK
POLICE DEPARTMENT

HAS BEEN RUNNING
AN INVESTIGATION?

YES.

YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS, ROD?

J.C.P.D. CONTACT YOU?

NO, NOTHING.

THE JUNIPER CREEK
POLICE DEPARTMENT,
IN MY OPINION,

IS STRUGGLING.
THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE
THE MANPOWER

OR THE RESOURCES.

I COMPLETED TWO YEARS
OF LAW SCHOOL AND HAVE
SOME IDEA OF THE DEMANDS

OF A PROPER,
WELL-STAFFED INVESTIGATION.

AND ROMAN GRANT

IS YOUR FATHER?

YES, SIR.

I'D PREFER PEOPLE

NOT KNOW I INITIATED THIS
AT THIS JUNCTURE.

PERHAPS YOU COULD

SAY IT WAS REFERRED
BY THE HOSPITAL.

20, 40,

51, 52...

SHOOT, I MISCOUNTED.

I NEED ANOTHER 40.

- ( telephone rings )
- THANKS.

- HELLO.
- Wanda: Nicki.

- WANDA?
- ( man singing
on television )

NICKI, CAN YOU HELP US?

IT'S DANGEROUS HERE, NICKI.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

WE'RE BEING FOLLOWED,
AND WE GOTTA GET AWAY.

- BUT THE CAR'S BROKE DOWN,
AND THE FUEL PUMP'S BUSTED.
- Nicki: Wanda, calm down.

I can't come
to the compound now.

BUT MAYBE I COULD GET SOMEONE
TO BRING YOU A FUEL PUMP.

Wanda:
There are buses that go
to Phoenix all day.

I COULD WESTERN UNION
YOU SOME MONEY.

We can't get into town
to pick it up.

PLEASE, NICKI,
CAN YOU COME?

GET US TO THE BUS STATION,
GET US A TICKET.

EVERYBODY'S WATCHING US.

Please, Nicki.

CAN YOU COME HELP?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
STAY PUT.

I'LL BE THERE
IN A COUPLE HOURS.

YOU'RE GOING TO
THE COMPOUND?

WHY NOT GO SOMEWHERE
WHERE I'M NEEDED?

- NO.
- PLEASE.

MARGIE, I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR THIS RIGHT NOW.

I WANT TO HELP YOU.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR HOME.

WELL, YOU'LL HAVE TO PUT
SOME CLOTHES ON.

SARAH WILL WATCH
THE BOYS.

HEY, DID WANDA REALLY
POISON YOUR BROTHER?

- I THINK SO.
- WHY?

YOU MET HIM.
NOW STEP ON IT.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
TO ME.

OH, NICKI.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

IT'S TOO LATE.
IT'S RUINED.

- IT'S JUST THAT
IT'S BEEN SO ROUGH LATELY.
- NO NO NO.

DON'T PROTECT THEM.
NO EXCUSES.

ALL THE MORE REASON
ANYWAY.

BILL'S BEEN SO BUSY,

AND IT'S BARB'S FIRST DAY
OF SCHOOL.

IT'S KIND OF A REALLY
EXCITING THING HAVING YOUR
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S EXCITING,
MARGIE?

HAVING AN ANNIVERSARY.

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MATTERS,
HOW MUCH IT REALLY MEANS

UNTIL YOU'VE BEEN
HURT LIKE THIS.

( country music playing )

HEY!

SO WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT?

MY FAMILY BELIEVES
IN THE EVERLASTING COVENANT

OF PLURAL MARRIAGE.

WHAT'S THAT?

SIX YEARS AGO,
MY MOM GOT REALLY SICK

AND SOMEONE
CAME TO NURSE HER

AND TAKE CARE OF HER.
AND HER NAME WAS NICKI

AND I REALLY LIKED HER.

AND SO DID MY DAD
AND MOM TOO.

AND MY DAD RECEIVED
A TESTIMONY.

AND MY MOM'S FAMILY BELIEVED
IN THE COVENANT OF PLURAL
MARRIAGE 100 YEARS AGO.

YOU'RE A POLYGAMIST?

YES.

WOW.

WOW.

- WE'RE TOTALLY NORMAL.
- THAT'S NOT NORMAL, BEN.

SO...

HOW MANY MOMS
DO YOU HAVE?

THREE.

THREE.

EXCUSE ME--
THAT SIGN,

DID YOU SEE SOMEONE
DEFACING IT?

PAINTING OVER IT?
( hisses )

BURGER BUFFET START
IN ONE HOUR.

HOW COULD THEY HAVE NOT
SHOWN UP YET?

IT'S 11:45.
IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS.

ALL RIGHT,
JUST STAY PUT.
NO, JUST STAY PUT.

I'M GOING DOWN
TO JOIN DON.

I WANT YOU TO CALL
DEWEY OWENS--

I'M NOT CALLING DEWEY OWENS.
HAVE THE AD AGENCY DO IT.

OUR AD REP'S ON VACATION.
JUST MAKE THE CALL.

I'VE CALLED TWICE--
THEIR MAINTENANCE
DEPARTMENT.

AND WHAT DO YOU WANT
ME TO SAY?

THAT WE DEMAND
BETTER SERVICE.

THAT WE'LL TAKE OUR
BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.

THERE IS NO ELSEWHERE.
DEWEY OWENS CONTROLS EVERY
BILLBOARD IN THE STATE

AND HALF THE REST
OF THE COUNTRY.

CALL THEM AND YOU RISK
DRAWING ATTENTION

TO SOMETHING YOU DON'T
WANT ATTENTION DRAWN TO.

UNLESS THEY ALREADY KNOW,
OR THEY'RE BEHIND IT SOMEHOW,

IN WHICH CASE, IT'S STILL
A CALL BEYOND MY PAY GRADE.

WHY ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT IT? IT'S MY NAME.
IT'S MY FACE UP THERE.

MAYBE THAT WASN'T
THE BEST IDEA.

THIS IS A FAMILY-RUN
BUSINESS,

AND IT HAS SERVED ALL
OF US VERY WELL.

I'M JUST SAYING I CAN'T STAY
ON IF EVERYTHING AROUND HERE

TURNS INTO
A BUNKER MENTALITY.

- WHAT--
- HELLO.

BARB.

I THOUGHT I'D SWING BY
AND SURPRISE YOU.

- IS IT A GOOD TIME?
- GOOD.

GOOD.

PEG, YOU HAVE
A CALL TO MAKE.

I'LL SEE YOU
IN A FEW MINUTES, HONEY.

IT'S NOTHING.
YOU KNOW PEG.

( sighs )
OH MY GOODNESS.

I PARKED MY CAR
IN THE WRONG LOT
AND GOT A TICKET.

HAD MY FIRST
ELEMENTAL PSYCH CLASS,

HAD A HOT CHOCOLATE
IN THE COMMONS.

I SIGNED A PETITION
TO BAN ANIMAL TESTING

JUST BECAUSE I FELT
LIKE IT.

IT'S BEEN THE BEST DAY
OF MY LIFE, BILL.

I LOVE BEING BACK
AT THE U.

LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'RE ALL AGLOW.

( cell phone ringing )

- HELLO.
- Margie: Barb,
I only got a second.

- MARGIE.
- PROBLEM, BIG PROBLEM.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
ARE THE BOYS ALL RIGHT?

YOU AND BILL
FORGOT NICKI'S ANNIVERSARY,

AND SHE IS TOTALLY COMPLETELY
TICKED OFF ROYAL.

- JIMINY CRICKETS.
- WHAT IS IT?

- PROBLEM, BIG PROBLEM.
- BARB, WHAT IS IT?

WE FORGOT
NICKI'S ANNIVERSARY.

- WELL, WHY DIDN'T
YOU REMIND ME?
- EXCUSE ME?

MARGIE, JUST PUT NICKI
ON THE PHONE.

- HI, HONEY!
I GOTTA GO.
- ( horn honks )

MARGIE, CAN YOU PINCH HIT
AND COOK A DINNER
FOR TONIGHT?

NO, I--
BARB, HONESTLY.

( horn honks )

PLEASE, I'VE GOT MY FIRST
STATISTICS CLASS AT 4:00.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M DOING ERRANDS
WITH NICKI.

SHIT! OH, SORRY.
I GOTTA GO.

- WHO WERE YOU
TALKING TO?
- OH, NO ONE.

I KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT YOU WERE DOING.

WELL, IT'S NOT
GONNA CHANGE A THING.

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT?

WHO FORGOT FIRST?
WHICH ONE?

BOTH, THEY BOTH FORGOT.

( groans )

NICKI.

IN 18 YEARS

I'VE NEVER FORGOTTEN
AN ANNIVERSARY.

WELL,
WE'LL MAKE IT RIGHT.

WE'LL GO OUT
TO A RESTAURANT.

NO, WE'RE NOT GONNA GO
TO SOME RESTAURANT.

NICKI LOVES LAMB CHOPS
AND STRAWBERRIES,

AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE HAVING.

AND THAT COCONUT
CAKE SHE LIKES.

THAT'S HOW WE CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARIES.

- BUT I DON'T WANT YOU
TO MISS YOUR CLASS.
- DON'T WORRY, I'M NOT.

I'M GONNA GO HOME
AND GET DINNER READY
AND THEN CLASS.

THERE'S ONE ANNIVERSARY
AND FOUR ADULTS.

I THINK WE CAN
MANAGE A DINNER.

( cartoon music playing )

AWFULLY HAPPY
TO SEE YOU.

HONEY, HI,
I NEED YOUR HELP.

GOTTA DO A CAKE FOR NICKI.
IT'S HER ANNIVERSARY.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
MARGENE IS OR WHEN
SHE'S GETTING BACK.

GET SOME MEAT MARINATING,
TWO STICKS OF BUTTER
OUT TO SOFTEN.

- HI.
- OH, HEATHER.

HI, I DIDN'T SEE YOU.

I HAVE TO GO.
I HAVE TO TAKE HEATHER HOME.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING,
MRS. HENRICKSON?

FINE.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A CLASS.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING
TO GET A LIFE.

NICKI AND MARGIE ARE OUT
DOING WHATEVER,

AND YOU'RE GIVING UP
YOUR PLANS

FOR DAD'S ANNIVERSARY
WITH NICKI. MOM!

( sighs )

ACTUALLY, IT'S PARTLY
MY ANNIVERSARY TOO.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'M COMFORTABLE.

I THINK IT HAPPENS
IN EVERY KIND OF MARRIAGE.

- WHAT?
- JUST, WE HAVE
TO BE CAREFUL

THAT THE MEN DON'T
OVERSTEP THEIR BOUNDS.

UH-HUH.

I'M SORRY.
IF YOU DON'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT JUST MUST BE TOUGH
WITH SO MANY PEOPLE
TO TAKE CARE OF.

NO. NO, ACTUALLY,
IT'S EASIER.

THERE ARE MORE HANDS
TO HELP,

SO WE ACTUALLY
HAVE MORE TIME
TO BE INDIVIDUALS.

I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR
AWOL SISTER-WIFE.

HEATHER.

HOW THE HECK ARE WE SUPPOSED
TO DEFEND OURSELVES

WITHOUT DIGNIFYING
THE ACCUSATIONS?

WHEN OUR ATTACKERS
ARE COWARDS?

AT LEAST IF WE KNEW
WHO IT WAS...

TRY TO REMEMBER HOW
THE ROMANS PERSECUTED
THE EARLY FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.

IT PUTS OUR TRIALS
IN PERSPECTIVE.

JUST MAKES YOU WANNA
THROW IN THE TOWEL,

GO LIVE ON SOME
ABUSIVE COMPOUND,
SAY THE HELL WITH IT.

YOU THINK MY FACE
SHOULD BE UP THERE?

IT'S YOUR STORE,
BILL.

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER
MY QUESTION.

WE'RE VULNERABLE,
IS ALL.

THERE'S LIMITS
TO WHAT WE CAN DO.

WE'LL NEVER ASSIMILATE.

BARB CAME BY THE OFFICE.
I COULDN'T TELL HER
ABOUT THIS.

SHE STILL BLAMES
HERSELF FOR THAT MESS
AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.

NICKI-- TERRIFIED
BY THE OUTING.

TODAY WAS NICKI'S
ANNIVERSARY,

WHICH WE BOTH
COMPLETELY FORGOT.

MY SON SAW THE SIGN.

THIS THING'S
COMING DOWN NOW.

A WOMAN JUST RAN
INTO A BIG HOLE.

THIS WHOLE PLACE
LOOKS LIKE MAMMY YOKUM.

MARGE, I DON'T MAKE FUN

OF WHERE YOU COME FROM.

HELLO?

WANDA?
WANDA?

JOEY?

- WHOO-HOO!
- HI-HI!

- I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
- LOOK, I BROUGHT MARGE.

- HI.
- OH, NICKI.

Joey: OH GOD, HELP ME.

WANDA, WHAT HAVE
YOU GONE AND DONE?

NO, HE WAS SICK
ALL MORNING.

ALL NIGHT HE WAS
GOING TO THE BATHROOM.

AND THEN THIS MORNING,
IT GOT WORSE.

I THINK IT'S
FOOD POISONING.

IT'S THE E. COLI.

NO, HE'S DRUNK.

- NO, HE'S NOT.
- NICKI, HE'S COMPLETELY
DRUNK OUT OF HIS MIND.

I CAN'T GO
THROUGH THIS AGAIN.

- I CAN'T GO THERE AGAIN.
- WHERE'S THE BATHROOM?

IT'S IN THE BACK.

HELP US GET AWAY
AND THEN EVERYTHING
WILL BE OKAY.

TIME TO SOBER UP.
OH, NICKI, HE'S HEAVY.

- WHEN DID IT START?
- I DON'T KNOW.

I CAME HOME,
AND HE WAS LIKE THIS.

AND THEN I CALLED YOU,
AND WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO, NICKI?

I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

- YOU GOTTA HELP US
GET AWAY, OKAY?
- OKAY.

- ( Margie screams )
- MARGE!

GET HIM DRESSED

AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE THEM
TO THE BUS STATION.

NICKI, THAT IS
COMPLETELY NUTS.
THESE TWO CAN'T--

MARGE, STOP.
A PLAN HAS BEEN MADE
AND IT'S UNDERWAY.

NOW WE'RE TAKING THEM
TO THE BUS STATION.

THESE TWO WON'T
LAST TWO SECONDS
IN THE REAL WORLD.

NICKI!

Nicki:
OH, IT'S JUST THE--

- IT'S THE STATE!
- WHAT'LL WE DO?

Don: DEWEY OWENS
ARE TOUGH CUSTOMERS.

THEY POLICE THEIR BILLBOARDS
FOR SUGGESTIVE CONTENT,

ANYTHING THEY DEEM RACY
OR IMMORAL.

- ( cell phone rings )
- I'VE ONLY DEALT
WITH THE SON,

BUT THEY SAY
THE OLD MAN'S WORSE.

EVERYONE WE DEAL WITH
IS A POTENTIAL LAND MINE.

- WHAT IS IT THOSE GUYS
IN WORLD WAR I GOT?
- SHELL SHOCK?

- TRENCH WARFARE?
- FORGET IT, DOESN'T MATTER.

MARGIE, HONEY, HI.
LISTEN, I NEED YOU TO HELP
BARB OUT TONIGHT

WITH NICKI'S
ANNIVERSARY DINNER.

UM...

BILL, NICKI AND I
ARE AT THE COMPOUND.
WE'RE AT JOEY AND WANDA'S.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE AT THE COMPOUND?

I WENT WITH NICKI.
I'M HERE.

- BUT I DON'T WANT YOU THERE.
- I KNOW, BUT I'M OKAY.

- I'M FINE.
- That's not the point.

I NEVER WANTED YOU
TO KNOW THAT PLACE.
PUT NICKI ON THE PHONE.

Margie:
BILL, THE STATE POLICE ARE
HERE. YOU GOTTA GET HERE NOW.

What?

NICKI, IT'S BILL.

TELL HIM EXACTLY
WHAT'S GOING ON.
JUST DO IT, NICKI.

WANDA, THE COPS ARE HERE.
YOU'VE GOTTA HELP.

( baby cries )

- HELLO, BILL.
- I CAN'T GET THERE, NICKI,
NOT IN TIME.

YOU'VE GOT
TO DEAL WITH THIS.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP
WANDA UNDER CONTROL.

YOU GOT TO DRIVE.

( marching music playing )

( singing )

WE'RE UNDER SIEGE.
WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!

THE STATE POLICE
ARE CRAWLING ALL
OVER THE COMPOUND.

STOP STOP. GO AND GET
THE PLANE ON THE RUNWAY.

THEY'RE UPON US.

- WHAT IS IT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
- STATE POLICE.

IS THIS
THE END OF DAYS, PAPA?

- ( cell phone rings )
- WHO'S THE BEST CHICKEN
IN THE WORLD?

HELLO?

MOM, I DON'T WANT ANY CRAP.
I WANT A CLEAN YES OR NO
ANSWER OUT OF YOU.

I DON'T CARE
FOR YOUR TONE.

AND I DON'T CARE.
DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT
CALL THE STATE POLICE?

ABOUT WHAT?
( clicks tongue )

AB-- ABOUT THE POISONING
INVESTIGATION.

- LEFT-- LEFT!
- I certainly did not.

- AND I RESENT THE NOTION.
- Well, someone did.

The sheriff's department
are out in front of Joey
and Wanda's right now.

- THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT?
- YEAH, THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT.

- I GOT TO GO.
- NO. WHAT EXACTLY
DO THEY KNOW?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY KNOW.

- ( whimpers )
- ( clucks )

I'VE BEEN
INTERVIEWED
THREE TIMES

BY THE JUNIPER
CREEK POLICE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD
THEY CLAIM TO HAVE
WITNESSES.

IT'S A VENDETTA.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

THIS IS NOT
THE FIRST TIME.

THERE'VE BEEN OTHERS.
FRANK HARLOW--

SOMEONE TRIED TO POISON
HIM A FEW MONTHS AGO.

- ( cell phone rings )
- HE ALMOST DIED.
HE'S IN MEXICO NOW.

BUT, UH, LOIS
HENRICKSON, HIS WIFE,

SHE CAN TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT IT.

- AND SHE LIVES
JUST RIGHT UP THERE.
- ( ringing continues )

BILL?

OH, NO.
THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM

BECAUSE I BELIEVE
THE COPS ARE HEADED
TO HER HOUSE RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. ON IT.

( laughs )

THESE KNUCKLEHEADS
ARE MY LITTLE BROTHERS.

THAT'S WAYNE,
RAYMOND AND AARON.

AND THAT BIG GUY
OVER THERE IS LESTER.

THAT'S TEENIE.
SHE WANTS TO BE
A TRENDSETTER.

( Muzak playing )

HELLO.

SARAH?
MOM.

- BENNIE?
- Brynn: HI.

- THIS IS BRYNN.
- BRYNN.

WELCOME.

SIT, SIT.

- HOW ARE YOU?
- FINE, THANK YOU.

OH, GOOD.
I'VE REALLY BEEN LOOKING
FORWARD TO MEETING YOU.

OH, AN ANNIVERSARY.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
UH, HOW MANY YEARS?

SIX. 16.
19.

- 19.
- MOM.

- SHE KNOWS.
- OH, SHE KNOWS.

WELL, WHAT
ARE YOU STUDYING?

I-I GRADUATED.

I'M WORKING A SEMESTER
BEFORE GOING TO COLLEGE.

COLLEGE.

OH.

DO YOU COOK?

UH, YEAH.

WE'RE ACTUALLY
FRATERNAL TWINS.

BUT IT'S ODD
BECAUSE WE STILL
LOOK A LOT ALIKE, SO...

HE'S PROBABLY
THE MOST DEVOUT
OF ALL MY BROTHERS.

HE BECAME BISHOP
AT 27.

BUT HE'S A GOOD GUY.

HE AND THIS DOUGHNUT
ARE THE TWO THINGS
THAT UNDERSTAND ME.

I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK THAT THE DOUGHNUT
THINKS YOU'RE WEIRD.

( laughs )

SO, LISTEN,
THERE'S THAT, UH,

TOTO CONCERT ON CAMPUS
NEXT WEEK.

WHY DON'T YOU PICK US UP
A COUPLE OF TICKETS

AT THE STUDENT UNION?
I'LL PAY.

NO, I MEAN, HEY,
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
A DATE IF YOU--

DO I HAVE TO SHOW I.D.
TO GET TICKETS?

UM...

SCOTT.

- WHAT?
- I HAVE SOMETHING
TO CONFESS.

I'M NOT AT THE U.

I'M AT CUMORAH...

HIGH SCHOOL
IN SANDY.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,
REALLY?

18.
I'M 18.

EVERYTHING ELSE
IS TRUE-- ME, SARAH,

MY THREE MOMS.

DON'T HATE ME.

10 YEARS OLDER
ISN'T THAT BIG A DEAL.

YOU SHOULD'VE JUST
TOLD ME THE TRUTH, SARAH.

WE COULD HAVE STILL
BEEN FRIENDS.

YOU SHOULD BE MORE HONEST
WITH THE PEOPLE

YOU START
RELATIONSHIPS WITH.

THAT GIRL ACTUALLY WENT
AND FINGERED ME.

SHE FINGERED ME!

( sighs )
NOT-- NOT REALLY,
NOT INTENTIONALLY.

SHE--

AND JOEY DRUNK.

WHAT IS HAPPENING
TO THIS FAMILY?

IT'S NICKI'S ANNIVERSARY.

SHE WENT AFTER HIM
LIKE A SPIDER.

WE'RE CELEBRATING
TONIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU
CELEBRATING FOR?

IT'S GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.

YES, IT DOES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

HOW YOU ALL CAN
LIKE EACH OTHER SO MUCH.

ME AND MY SISTER-WIVES--
( scoffs )

ALWAYS HELD
THEMSELVES APART.

I THINK THEY WERE
JEALOUS OF ME.

I TRIED.

IT'S A PITY.

I HAD SO MUCH TO GIVE.

- Ben: SEE YOU
AFTER CLASS, MOM.
- ( groans )

MRS. HENRICKSON.

- WENDY?
- I APOLOGIZE FOR COMING

AND INVADING
YOUR PRIVACY.

MAY I PLEASE
SPEAK TO YOU?

UM, YES, OF COURSE.

RAYMOND, HONEY,
GET INSIDE.

OUR SON RAYMOND.

THE LAST THREE
WEEKS HAVE BEEN JUST
A NIGHTMARE FOR ME,

AS I KNOW
THEY HAVE FOR YOU.

BUT I AM NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.

I DIDN'T DO IT.

WHY WERE YOU THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETHING MADE ME GO.

MR. HENRICKSON
DOESN'T BELIEVE
I DIDN'T DO IT.

HE'S HAD ME FOLLOWED.

I GOT INTO
A CAR ACCIDENT
BECAUSE OF IT.

- BILL WOULDN'T DO THAT.
- WELL, THEN,

PEG OR DON EMBRY--

THEY'RE BOTH
VERY ANGRY PEOPLE.

THEY'RE BOTH
OUT TO PERSECUTE ME,
OUT TO GET ME.

I'M AFRAID
TO LEAVE MY HOUSE

BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DO,
I'M FOLLOWED BY A HUMMER.

PLEASE COULD YOU TALK
TO MR. HENRICKSON

AND TELL HIM
I DIDN'T DO IT?

I DO NOT APPROVE
OF...

PLURAL MARRIAGE,

BUT I COULDN'T DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

PLEASE?

YES,

I'LL TALK TO HIM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

"HOME PLUS IS US," HUH?
I LIKE THAT AD.

THANK YOU.
BUT IT'S DEFACED
AND WE NEED IT TENDED TO.

AND IT WILL BE.
OF COURSE IT WILL BE.

- WHEN?
- I GUESS AROUND THURSDAY.

OH, THURSDAY IS TOO LATE.
WE'RE A SMALL COMPANY.

NOT A LARGE ACCOUNT--
TWO STORES, EIGHT BILLBOARDS.

EACH BILLBOARD
MATTERS TO US.

YOU'RE LUCKY THAT
YOU HAVE A BILLBOARD
AT ALL.

REMEMBER LADY
BYRD JOHNSON--
PRUNE FACE?

PEOPLE THINK THAT
HILLARY WAS THE WORST
FIRST LADY.

PRUNE FACE TRIED TO DESTROY
THE BILLBOARD INDUSTRY.

BANNING BILLBOARDS
AS AN EYESORE IS A DIRECT
FRONTAL ASSAULT

ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT
AND FREE SPEECH.

THURSDAY IS TOO LATE.

I GOT OVER
3,000 BILLBOARDS.

THIS HAPPENS
ALL THE TIME.

I'VE GOT
THREE DQ BILLBOARDS

WITH SCROTUMS
ON THE DILLY BARS.

NOW YOUR BOARDS
HAVE NO NUDITY,
NO PROFANITIES.

IT'S JUST SOME
OLD MORMON JOKE.

IT'S NOT A JOKE TO US.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT

IS THAT WE ARE
HOME-GROWN, FAMILY-OWNED.
IT'S WHAT GIVES US AN EDGE,

A LEG UP OVER LOWE'S
AND WAL-MART.

OUR IMAGE IS EVERYTHING.

YOU SEEM AWFULLY
CONCERNED WITH IMAGE.

WHY ARE YOU TAKING THIS
SO PERSONAL?

- I'M A PAYING CUSTOMER.
- AND I SAID I'D GET TO IT.

IF WE'RE ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT FOUL PRACTICE,
WE'D LOSE BUSINESS.

- CALM DOWN, ALL RIGHT?
- I WON'T CALM DOWN.

AND ANOTHER THING--
IT'S NOT RIGHT TO DEFAME
THE FIRST LADY

OF THE UNITED STATES.
IT'S WRONG.

IT'S PETTY AND VICIOUS
AND SMALL-MINDED.

- BILL.
- WHOA WHOA WHOA.

AND YOU SHOULD LEARN
TO RESPECT EVERYONE!

NOW FIX
OUR DAMNED SIGN!

( humming )

( phone rings )

HELLO.

Rhonda:
Hello, Barbara?

RHONDA?

HI.

I MISS YOU.

I know I was
very ill-behaved
when I was with you.

I TOLD LIES.
I WAS ANGRY AND SELFISH

AND GOD SAID
I NEEDED TO ATONE.

UM, HONEY--

I LOVE YOU, BARBARA.

I'M SORRY
FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION.

AND I HOPE
YOU FEEL BETTER SOON.

( hangs up )

Bill: WE'RE DECENT MEN.
WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
COWER TO ANYBODY.

Don:
SHOULD HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT.

YOU'RE WAY OFF TRACK, BILL.

YOU'RE MESSING WITH OUR LIVES
AND OUR LIVELIHOOD.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE STORES
ARE WORTH NOW?

JUST IMAGINE
WHAT THEY'D BE WORTH

IF WE WERE REALLY
EXPOSED IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

I FEEL TRAPPED.
I MEAN, LOOK AT US.

LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME.
THE AMERICAN DREAM, RIGHT?

WORK HARD,
PLAY BY THE RULES--
I CAN'T GO BACKWARDS.

IT'S NOT THE LIFE
I WAS CALLED TO LEAD.

I JUST WANT
A NORMAL EXISTENCE

WITHOUT FEAR
OF RETRIBUTION.

BILL, I'VE GOT
16 MOUTHS TO FEED.

I KNOW THAT.

DON, I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR FAMILY THE SAME
WAY I DO MINE.

I'D MORTGAGE
MY OWN HOUSES BEFORE
I'D SEE YOU TAKE A HIT.

I CAN'T GO THIS ALONE.

I'LL GO THE DISTANCE
TO THE END, YOU KNOW THAT.

BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE END IS LATER,
RATHER THAN SOONER.

HOW MUCH
DO WE OWE THEM?

I TOLD THEM
65 BUCKS APIECE.

HEY, DAD,
WHAT TIME IS IT?

- 5:45.
- NO, 9:25.

Bill:
WELL, I CAN SEE
HOW YOU THINK THAT

BUT, YOU SEE,
THE LITTLE HAND IS
THE HOUR HAND.

- THE BIG HAND
IS THE MINUTES.
- HI.

HI. I THOUGHT
YOU HAD CLASS.

I STAYED HOME
INSTEAD.

BOYS, CAN YOU GO
IN THE OTHER ROOM
AND PLAY FOR A MINUTE?

GO ON.

WHAT IS IT?

NICKI AND MARGIE
WENT TO THE COMPOUND.

WHY?

WELL, APPARENTLY,

JOEY FELL OFF THE WAGON
PRETTY BAD.

OH, BILL.

I KNOW.

HEY.

- FOR ME?
- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

THE GUY AT BRODSKY'S
SAID IT WAS WATERPROOF
BUT I--

I DON'T KNOW.

( giggles )
OH...

THANK YOU.

I KNOW IT'S NOT ENOUGH

FOR THE SACRIFICES
YOU MAKE EVERY DAY.

I'M SORRY YOU MISSED
YOUR CLASS.

I DIDN'T MIND.

WHAT?

JUST POOR JOEY
AND WANDA--

THEY'RE ALL
THEY'VE GOT.

NO OTHER SPOUSES
TO LEAN ON.

HOW ARE THEY
GONNA MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS CRISIS

WITH ONLY EACH OTHER?

AND THEN SHE JUST
RAN INTO...
( laughs )

- Bill: WHAT?
- ...THIS BIG HOLE
IN THE GROUND.

( continues laughing )

I'M SORRY FOR
FORGETTING, HON.

YOU JUST BUSTED ME
TOO SOON.

I ALWAYS REMEMBER
BY 2:00 OR 3:00.

YEAH, THAT'S WHEN
I REMIND YOU.

THERE'S MORE
STRAWBERRIES.

IT'S FINE.
HONEY, IT'S FINE.
I DIDN'T CARE.

I'M JUST GLAD
THE DAY WORKED OUT
THE WAY IT DID.

I MEAN, THANK GOD
I WAS THERE, BILL.

THANK GOD.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT
COULD HAVE HAPPENED
IF I HADN'T BEEN.

( whispers )
I SAW THE SIGN

ON THE WAY
OUT OF TOWN.

IT'S BEEN
TAKEN CARE OF.

I DON'T WANT
BARB TO KNOW,

OR MARGIE.

I DON'T WANT
ANY OF YOU TO WORRY.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

FINE.

I'M SORRY I FORGOT.

I JUST THINK ANNIVERSARIES
ARE IMPORTANT.

WE'RE ALL WE'VE GOT.

NICKI, I LOVE YOU.

AND I LOVE YOU
TOO, BARB.

BARB,

I DIDN'T
MARRY FOR LOVE.

I MARRIED
FOR THE PRINCIPLE.

I DIDN'T.
I TRIED.

I DON'T KNOW THAT
I HAVE A TESTIMONY
FOR THE PRINCIPLE.

BUT I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE OUR FAMILY
MORE AND MORE.

THAT FRIGHTENS ME.

I DON'T KNOW
THAT A MARRIAGE
BASED ON LOVE

CAN GO THE DISTANCE.

THE SACRED HOLINESS
OF THE INSTITUTION,

THE SANCTITY
OF MARRIAGE--

WITHOUT IT IT'S JUST
RANDOM COUPLINGS

WITH NO PURPOSE
OR STICK-TO-ITIVENESS.

HOW WILL WE SURVIVE
THE BAD TIMES ON JUST LOVE?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

WENDY HUNT WAS
FOLLOWED BY A HUMMER.

I KNOW.

WE CAN'T DO THAT,
NICKI.

I KNOW.

YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING
FOR THIS FAMILY.

YOU WOULD TOO.

- ( door closes )
- Bill: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

( laughs, gasps )

WOW, WHAT A BEAUTY!

WOW!
LOOK AT THAT CASE!

AND THE CHARGER.
( gasps )

AND MORE SCREWS.

THANK YOU.

( car approaching )

( police radio chatter )

( knocking on door )

WE'D LIKE TO SPEAK
TO YOUR WIFE AGAIN.

SHE'S NOT IN.

WE HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT.

SHE'S NOT
THE ONE YOU WANT.

I'M THE ONE WHO DID IT.

I POISONED
ALBERT GRANT.
