( chatting )

Adaleen: THEY MUST HAVE HAD A KEY.

THE MONEY WAS IN THIS BOX UNDER THE COPIER. NO ONE ELSE WAS HERE.

I WENT TO THE TESTIMONY MEETING, I COME BACK AND IT'S GONE.

- I ASSUMED YOU MADE A DEPOSIT. - ( telephone rings )

U.E.B., LURA SPEAKING. HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

BRING ME ALL THE SIGN-IN RECORDS FROM THAT DAY

AND THE SECURITY LOGS FROM ALL ENTRY GATES.

- I WANT EVERYONE ACCOUNTED FOR. - MM-HMM.

WELL, THAT'S JUST IT. SOMEBODY CAME IN

AND RIPPED US OFF. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

WE NEED TO FIND THEM AND SKIN THEM ALIVE.

I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

THAT WAS THE HOSPITAL. YOUR FATHER'S UP AND TALKING.

- HE'S BETTER. - Adaleen: OH...

THANK THE LORD.

WHEN BILL TOLD ME HOW HAPPY JOEY SAID YOU TWO WERE WITH KATHY,

I THOUGHT, "I'M HAPPY TOO."

BUT THEN I THOUGHT, "WAIT,

THEY CAN'T JUST SHACK UP LIKE THAT."

- It's sacrilegious. - DO YOU THINK WE'RE MOVING TOO FAST?

NO, BUT IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'RE FORMALIZING THE RELATIONSHIP

WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT CEREMONY.

Okay, so Kathy's mother's throwing the party

at her house at 7:00,

YOU'LL COME AND HELP ME WITH THE BUFFET AT 4:00?

I CAN'T WAIT. NOW LISTEN,

AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU...

I'M GONNA HAVE SOME THINGS SENT TO YOUR ADDRESS.

OKAY, WHAT KIND OF THINGS?

JUST SOME THINGS FOR ME AND THE BOYS THAT BILL THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE,

YOU KNOW, THAT WE NEEDED,

BUT BARB AND MARGIE, SOMETIMES THEY GET JEALOUS,

SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE IT SENT TO YOU.

But you promise you'll be here tomorrow at 4:00?

YOU BETCHA.

YOU'RE GROUNDED, AND I FIND YOU SNEAKING OVER THE FENCE.

YOU WERE WITH THAT GIRL, WEREN'T YOU?

- WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU? - I'M TRYING TO BE MYSELF.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT BEING YOURSELF BY BEING DISOBEDIENT.

- WHERE WERE YOU? - I WENT OUT THIS MORNING TO SEE IF I COULD TALK TO HER,

BUT SHE WON'T EVEN SEE ME. YOU MADE SURE OF THAT.

- DON'T YOU SASS US. - I'M JUST TELLING THE TRUTH.

IF I FIND OUT YOU WERE OUT ALL NIGHT--

I MIGHT WANNA HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIFE, BUT YOU'RE SO ASHAMED OF YOURSELF

- YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT. - YOU THROW AROUND THE IDEA OF BEING A POLYGAMIST PATRIARCH

- BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT PUSHES YOUR POOR MOTHER'S BUTTONS. - AND YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER.

EXCUSE ME? YOU DON'T SELECTIVELY CHOOSE WHICH PARTS OF THE PRINCIPLE

YOU LIKE, YOUNG MAN. IT'S A PACKAGE DEAL.

IT'S PLURAL WIVES AND PLURAL MOMMIES.

ENOUGH. ENOUGH.

BEN, JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM.

AND SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR MOTHER.

AND IF I EVER CATCH YOU SNEAKING OUT AGAIN,

I'M GONNA COME DOWN ON YOU LIKE A TON OF BRICKS.

- IF I SPOKE TO MY MOTHER THAT WAY-- - I KNOW, NICKI,

JUST GIVE IT A REST.

IT'S THE BAR OWNERS TRADE ASSOCIATION CONVENTION

AT THE WENDOVER ELITE HOTEL AND CASINO.

OH, BARB, THEY HAVE A SPA AND EVERYTHING.

( sighs ) HOW LONG WOULD WE HAVE TO GO?

JUST AN OVERNIGHT. WEBER GAMING CLIENTS WANNA MEET THE NEW OWNER.

THEY'RE ALL WONDERING ABOUT ME. I WANNA REASSURE THEM.

COME ON, MAIDEN VOYAGE FOR THE NEW VENTURE.

FACIALS AND HOT ROCK MASSAGES.

BARB DOESN'T NEED A HOT ROCK MASSAGE. DO YOU, BARB?

MAYBE NOT, BUT SHE COULD USE A LITTLE BREAK FROM THE ROUTINE

AND A CHANCE TO SEE THAT THIS BUSINESS ISN'T ABOUT GUNS OR GANGSTERS.

LOOKS NICE.

HONESTLY, I WASN'T JOKING, BILL,

WHEN I SAID I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE

ANYMORE PRETENDING... OUT THERE

- BEING THE PUBLIC WIFE. - I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO PRETEND.

I'LL INTRODUCE YOU AS MY WIFE, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE MY ONLY ONE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HONEY, THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY,

TO BE MORE OPEN ABOUT WHO WE REALLY ARE.

YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE JUST TELL EVERYONE WE'RE POLYGAMISTS.

NOT NECESSARILY, BUT AT LEAST IT'S A MIDDLE GROUND.

- IT'S A START, BARB. - WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

- JUST SAY YOU'LL GO. - WELL, IF WE'RE NOT PRETENDING ANYMORE,

THEN WHY DON'T YOU TAKE NICKI INSTEAD OF ME?

I DON'T NEED TO GO.

I'M HAPPY TO JUST PULL MY WEIGHT HERE AROUND THE HOUSE.

- LOOK, THERE'S A MANICURE- PEDICURE SPECIAL. - MARGIE, PLEASE.

NO, 'CAUSE I'M ASKING YOU TO GET BEHIND THIS.

- AND WHAT IF I'M NOT READY? - THEN I'M DISAPPOINTED.

THEN I GUESS WE'RE BOTH DISAPPOINTED.

DID YOU SEE HIS FACE?

WHEN?

WHEN BARB SUGGESTED HE TAKE ME INSTEAD?

- HE'S EMBARRASSED BY ME. - NICKI, HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THAT.

YES, HE DID.

COMPLETELY MORTIFIED.

SHE'S BEING SO STUBBORN.

IT'S HARD FOR ANYONE TO ACCEPT CHANGE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, MARGIE? ARE YOU ON MY SIDE OR HER SIDE?

I'M JUST SAYING YOU COULD HAVE ASKED ME.

YOU?

SEE, YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT.

WOULD YOU GO IF I DID?

REALLY?

I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY A BORING PROPOSITION FOR YOU.

BORING? NO. NO NO NO.

BILL, I'D BE FLATTERED.

I DON'T KNOW. DO YOU THINK BARB WOULD MIND?

WHY SHOULD SHE MIND?

WELL, I DON'T THINK SHE'D BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.

- AND WHAT ABOUT NICKI? - NICKI SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GO.

HOW ABOUT IT?

- OKAY. - OKAY...?

YES. YES!

- YES, YEAH! - ( grunts )

WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG?

TODAY AT 4:00 FOR THREE HOURS.

- WHY? - IT'S A PERSONAL AFFAIR,

A SMALL PRIVATE CELEBRATION,

just a three-hour front gate pass waiting for me at the north entrance.

WILLIE, GO OUTSIDE.

PAPA'S WORKING.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN BANISHED, NICKI.

NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I'VE ONLY BEEN BANISHED FROM THE HOUSE AND FROM SEEING MAMA AND PAPA.

NO ONE SAID I WAS BANISHED FROM THE ENTIRE COMPOUND.

IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ENTER,

I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

ALBY, YOU CANNOT ROB ME

OF MY BIRTHRIGHT.

YOU CANNOT DISPOSSESS ME OF MY HERITAGE.

JUST TWO HOURS, PLEASE. PHONE IT IN.

You said you'd support me at my testimony meeting. You never came.

SO YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY, NICKI. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ENTER,

YOU WILL BE ARRESTED. YOU UNDERSTAND?

- I TRIED TO COME, BUT WAYNE WAS-- - ( line clicks )

- WHAT? - BILL ASKED ME TO ASK YOU

IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND LOOKING AFTER MY BOYS.

NO, BUT FOR HOW LONG?

TILL TOMORROW. I'M GOING WITH BILL TO WENDOVER.

- WHAT? - WHAT?

MARGIE'S GOING TO WENDOVER.

YEAH, BILL ASKED ME TO GO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ASKED YOU?

IS THAT A PROBLEM?

Bill: MARGIE!

OH, THERE YOU ARE.

- HI. YOU READY? - Margie: MM-HMM.

WELL, WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

- Margie: YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE OKAY WITH THIS, RIGHT? - OF COURSE.

OH, I LEFT TWO SUITS UPSTAIRS

THAT NEED TO GO TO THE CLEANERS. THANKS. BYE.

THIS IS A DISASTER.

YOU'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING, BARB.

WHAT CAN I DO?

WE CAN'T HAVE MARGENE REPRESENTING OUR MARRIAGE.

IT'S ONE HOTEL,

- IN NEVADA NO LESS. - NO, IT'S THE PRECEDENT.

I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE MARGENE, PUBLIC WIFE?

NO WAY. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO MY MARRIAGE.

- NICKI, CALM DOWN. - NO, YOU CALM DOWN!

I MEAN, THE NERVE OF HIM TAKING HER OVER YOU OR ME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE BILL IS SO FOOLISH.

AND HE WAS GOADING YOU, PLAIN AS DAY.

AND HOW COULD SHE THINK THAT SHE COULD EVER FILL YOUR SHOES?

SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE UPPITY THING GOING ON THAT YOU HAVE

THAT REPRESENTED US SO WELL IN PUBLIC.

THERE'S NOTHING TO DO.

HOW WAS SHE LAST NIGHT?

AGITATED, PACING.

IT'S HER FOURTH NIGHT WITH NO SLEEP, BLESS HER HEART.

I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW.

IF ANYONE ASKS, SHE'S-- SHE'S DOING FINE.

OKAY?

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED TO US.

- JOEY. - YEAH?

I LOVE YOU AND WANDA.

( wailing )

Wanda: Nicki, we can't change plans now.

- STOP IT! - We're doing it at Kathy's house.

WANDA, THEIR HOUSE IS DINGY AND TACKY,

JUST LIKE EVERYTHING AT THAT COMPOUND.

( sighs ) THIS IS FAR TOO IMPORTANT

AN EVENT TO HAVE THERE.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE IT OFF THE COMPOUND,

AT THE BANQUET ROOM AT THE SILVER SLIPPER.

LOOK, I'LL CALL BUD SCHOTT AND SET IT UP.

- WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT, NICKI. - Well, I can.

- AND WE'LL HAVE SURF AND TURF. - It's too extravagant.

ARE YOU IN TROUBLE AGAIN, NICKI?

NO, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME, WANDA,

TO DO GOOD THINGS FOR THE PEOPLE I LOVE.

JOEY STILL DOESN'T WANT BILL TO KNOW.

WELL, I DON'T WANT BILL TO KNOW, EITHER, OR BARB.

I'VE SAVED UP A LITTLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY JUST LIKE THIS.

You know, and Barb can be pushy about what I spend my money on,

but she doesn't need to know. I can save up more.

I CAN BE VERY FRUGAL.

I'll make it really nice for you.

IT'S CALLED "CINDERELLA'S SLIPPER."

I LIKE THE DARK BLUE ONE.

GET OUT. WE'RE NOT TALKING TO YOU.

- WHY NOT? - 'CAUSE YOU'RE A RAT AND A LIAR.

LOOK. AUNT LAURA WANTS YOU

TO GET SARAH TO COME TO MY SURVIVORS' GROUP.

THEY'RE HAVING A BIG EVENT FOR ME.

I'M THE LINCHPIN IN BRINGING OLD ROMAN DOWN AND ENDING POLYGAMY FOREVER.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU.

I HAVE TO PEE.

YOU'VE BURNT TOO MANY BRIDGES, RHONDA.

I BET YOU'RE HAPPY NOW THAT YOU CAN SEE SARAH AGAIN, AREN'T YOU?

I MEAN REALLY HAPPY.

- I SEE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT HER. - WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

- I THINK YOU CARE FOR HER TOO MUCH. - OH MY GOD.

I KNEW WOMEN LIKE YOU FROM THE COMPOUND.

- GET OUT OF HERE. - I'M RIGHT, AREN'T I?

NO, THAT'S TOTALLY NOT TRUE.

IF IT'S SO NOT TRUE, THEN WHY DO YOU LOOK SO GUILTY?

LOOK, I WANT YOU TO CELEBRATE MY INDOMITABLE WILL TO SURVIVE,

AND IF YOU DON'T GET SARAH TO COME,

I'LL TELL EVERYONE YOUR REAL FEELINGS FOR HER.

AND EVEN IF IT'S NOT TRUE, EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE IT

- AND YOU KNOW IT. - YOU'RE HORRIBLE.

AND I DON'T WANNA STAY IN THE SEWING ROOM ANYMORE.

I LIKE THIS ROOM.

THIS IS MY BEDROOM.

WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE, RAT?

I LIKE YOUR TOENAILS.

THEY'RE PRETTY.

( bell dings )

- ( car honking ) - Man on radio: "...shall be much weeping and wailing

And gnashing of teeth." Luke 13:28.

And woe unto those who do not heed...

FILL 'ER UP THERE, WOULD YOU, LOIS?

WELL, WELL,

LOOK WHO'S BACK TO PUMPING ETHYL.

GROUND YOU ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN TO DIRT.

AFTER 53 YEARS,

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO DEGRADE ME FURTHER.

HOW'S ABOUT A LITTLE ATTENTION TO THE WINDSHIELD HERE?

IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIRTY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY NEW CAR?

CAME INTO A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY

AND I FIGURED...

"WHAT THE HECK?"

YOU RANSACKED MY HOUSE,

WENT THROUGH ALL OF MY PAPERS.

YOU'RE LUCKY I WASN'T THERE, 'CAUSE I'D HAVE KNOCKED YOU INTO NEXT WEEK.

- DIVORCE PAPERS. - WELL, I'M NOT GIVING YOU A DIVORCE.

WELL, I'M TAKING IT.

PAGE FOUR:

LIST OF COMMUNITY PROPERTY.

THERE AIN'T NO COMMUNITY PROPERTY!

OH, YES, THERE IS!

WAIT. WAIT!

YOU GET NOTHING!

( bell dings )

Man on radio: ...to those that they might likewise spread His word.

Man: GOOD AFTERNOON, MA'AM.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

( coins clinking, slot machine beeping )

BILL, REMEMBER OUR HONEYMOON WHEN WE HAD TO CUT IT SHORT?

NOW I GET YOU ALL TO MYSELF LIKE THIS.

MAKES UP FOR IT FINALLY.

THIS MEANS MORE TO ME THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I LOVE WEBER GAMING.

I LOVE HOME PLUS TOO, BUT I THINK I LOVE WEBER GAMING MORE.

- NEXT PLEASE. - CHECKING IN.

MR. AND MRS. BILL HENRICKSON.

Man: VERY GOOD.

COULD YOU MAKE THAT THE HONEYMOON SUITE?

Alby: WE THINK HE'D BE BETTER OFF AT HOME.

THAT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

MY FATHER'S ELDERLY AND DISORIENTED.

HE NEEDS HIS FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS.

HE'S BARELY OFF THE CRITICAL-CARE LIST.

HIS HEART RATE'S EXTREMELY ERRATIC.

- I'M A FULLY REGISTERED NURSE. - FINE, BUT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG--

I'D BE IN IMMEDIATE CONTACT WITH HIS PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS.

- WERE HIS INFECTIONS TO BLOOM-- - OUR FAMILY'S DECIDED.

THE LONGER HE STAYS HERE THE GREATER CHANCE

HE PICKS UP SOME TRULY VIRULENT BACTERIA

THAT'S NON-RESPONSIVE TO ANY ANTIBIOTIC.

WE'RE TAKING HIM HOME NOW.

Nicki: NO NO, THE CAKES WILL BE DELIVERED

FROM LA RUE BAKERY AT 5:30

AND THE CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN AT 6:00.

IT'LL NEED ACCESS TO A GENERATOR.

YEAH, AND I'LL HAVE THE BAND FROM 6:00 TO 8:00.

AND I WANT A SIGN OUT FRONT THAT READS

"HENRICKSON-MARQUART PARTY,

HOSTED BY NICOLETTE GRANT."

AND A SIGN ON THE DOOR THAT SAYS "BY INVITATION ONLY."

( silence )

MARGIE, I WANT YOU TO MEET LARRY SCHOENFELD

LARRY'S STAYING ON TO HELP US OUT OVER THE TRANSITION.

I'M GENERAL MANAGER. IT'S A PLEASURE.

PLEASURE'S MINE. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.

IT'S JUST A TRADE SHOW.

WELL, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL IT. IT'S STILL FUN.

I MEAN, I'VE NEVER GOTTEN TO MEET ANY OF BILL'S ASSOCIATES AS HIS WIFE BEFORE.

YOU'RE KIDDING. HOW DOES HE USUALLY INTRODUCE YOU?

HE DOESN'T. I MEAN, HE WOULD IF I EVER GOT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE,

BUT I'M THE THIRD WIFE, WHICH IS KIND OF HARD BECAUSE I LOVE PEOPLE.

I LOVE TALKING TO ANYONE ABOUT ANYTHING.

- YOU THINK THE CUSTOMERS WILL LIKE ME? - I THINK YOU'RE...

A NATURAL.

IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME THAT I'M ABLE TO PULL THIS OFF.

BILL AND I HAVE TWO LOVELY BOYS. WE'RE EXPECTING A THIRD.

I DIDN'T COME FROM A VERY STABLE BACKGROUND,

BUT I LOVE HOTELS. I LOVE MOTELS TOO.

( cell phone rings )

- HELLO. - Frank: You double-crosser.

- YOU AND JOEY SET ME UP. - ( dog barking )

YOU GOT ME TO MARRY THE WITCH SO YOU COULD RAID MY ASSETS.

ALL THIS TIME, YOU PLEADING POVERTY.

WHAT I POSSESS IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN

AND NOTHING YOU'RE EVER GONNA GET YOUR HANDS ON.

- MAKING MA GO ON WELFARE? - WE HAD RICHES OF THE HEART.

HEART? THAT EMPTY CAVITY IN YOUR CHEST?

THERE'S A REASON A FATHER WOULD NEVER EVER WANT A SON LIKE YOU

- OR YOUR PITIFUL BROTHER. - Man: MAKE THAT DOG SHUT UP!

- AND WE ARE NOT DONE HERE. - ( gunshot )

- ( dog yelps ) - GO TO HELL.

( cell phone ringing )

- HELLO. - LITTLE SISTER, WHY DO YOU CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS?

I'm too busy to deal with your antics today, Nicki.

- WHAT? - THERE'S NO PARTY AT THE SILVER SLIPPER.

BUD SCHOTT JUST CALLED ME TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

TOO LATE. EVERYTHING'S ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED.

AND YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, ALBY.

If I want to host a party off the compound, it's my right to do so.

NOT WHEN IT INVOLVES THE MARITAL AUTHORITY.

NOT WHEN IT INVOLVES AN UNSANCTIONED UNION.

I'M THROUGH WITH THAT, I'M THROUGH WITH YOU.

AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COMPOUND ANYMORE.

NO, ALL THAT'S BEHIND ME.

AND PAPA'S NOT EVEN DEAD,

THANK GOODNESS, SO STOP GIVING YOURSELF SUCH AIRS.

YOUR PARTY'S BEEN SHUT DOWN, NICKI.

YOUR ICE SCULPTURES ARE MELTING IN THE PARKING LOT.

Call your guests and tell them it's off,

or they'll arrive to find a restaurant that won't allow them in

AND THE SAD LITTLE HOSTESS

WITH EGG ALL OVER HER FACE.

DID I TELL YOU HOW FANTASTIC YOU WERE?

- YES, ABOUT FIVE TIMES. - YOU ARE.

OH, BILL, MAYBE WE COULD GET LITTLE GIFTS FOR EVERYONE IN THAT SHOP?

THERE'S A SCARF BARB WOULD REALLY LIKE, A PAPERWEIGHT FOR NICKI.

WHATEVER YOU WANT. YOU'RE MY LUCKY CHARM.

Man: BILL?

BILL HENRICKSON.

- DICK. - BILL, HELLO.

- MEREDITH, HOW ARE YOU? - WE'RE DOING GREAT. WE HEARD YOU WERE HERE.

WEBER GAMING. BILL HENRICKSON, WEBER GAMING.

- A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. - IT'S A SMALL WORLD.

- Dick: WE BOUGHT A CHAIN OF BARS A FEW YEARS AGO. - BARS?

- SPORTS BARS. - DIVERSIFICATION.

IT'S MORE ABOUT THE SPORTS THAN IT IS ABOUT THE BARS. WE CAN TALK BUSINESS.

- WHERE'S BARB? - YEAH, WE HEARD SHE WAS HERE.

Meredith: BILL HENRICKSON AND HIS LOVELY WIFE.

HI.

NOT SARAH, IS IT?

- NO, NO. - I'M MARGENE.

HEFFMAN. MY SECRETARY.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

- SPORTS BARS? - ( crying )

IT'S ALL PERFECTLY RESPECTABLE, THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TRYING TO TELL YOU.

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO MEREDITH PAULSON IN SIX YEARS.

WELL, THEY WERE THE LAST PEOPLE I EXPECTED TO SEE HERE.

AND THEY WANT YOUR MACHINES IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS.

( crying )

POTENTIALLY, IT COULD BE A BIG CONTRACT,

AND YOU KNOW THE PAULSONS' POSITION IN THE COMMUNITY.

CAN YOU COME?

- ( Margene crying ) - IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

FINE, EVERYTHING'S FINE HERE.

MARGIE'S A BIT BLUE, BUT CAN YOU COME?

WELL, TECHNICALLY, IT'S NOT SO HARD, BILL,

BUT I HAVE TO SAY IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER

- WHEN I START TO WEIGH ALL THE CONSEQUENCES. - BARB, IT'S THE PAULSONS.

WHICH MEANS YOU'RE ASKING ME TO LIE TWICE--

ONCE FOR OUR PERSONAL LIFE, AND ONCE FOR YOUR BUSINESS DEALINGS.

- I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO LIE. - BUT YOU SAID

THE WHOLE POINT WAS WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ANYMORE.

DO I WISH I COULD HANDLE THIS IN SOME OTHER WAY?

Absolutely, but for the life of me,

I can't think of what that way might be.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME.

- SHOULD I TALK TO MARGIE? - SHE'LL BE FINE.

OH, NO, I WON'T. GIVE ME THE PHONE.

WELL, I TOLD THE PAULSONS WE'D TRY AND DO DINNER.

DINNER? NOW THERE'S A DINNER?

MARGIE, WHY DON'T YOU GO GET A MASSAGE IN THE SPA?

BILL? BILL, I NEED YOU TO KNOW

EVEN IF I SHOW UP, THIS DOESN'T MEAN I'M SIGNING ONTO WEBER GAMING.

FAIR ENOUGH.

I WILL NOT GO FROM PUBLIC WIFE TO SECRETARY

TO "GO GET LOST IN THE SPA SO NO ONE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE."

- ( beeps ) - WHAT'S GOING ON, BARB?

BILL NEEDS ME TO COME TO WENDOVER.

I TOLD YOU MARGENE COULDN'T CUT IT.

WELL, SOME OLD L.D.S. FRIENDS SHOWED UP.

THEY HEARD BILL WAS THERE WITH HIS WIFE.

GOOD, HANG HIM OUT TO DRY.

I WOULD, BUT IT'S WORTH A LOT TO US, TO OUR FAMILY.

- YOU'RE GOING? - YES.

FIRST HE ASKS YOU, AND THEN HE JUMPS OVER BOTH OF US

AND ASKS MARGIE AND THEN HE COMES BACK AND ASKS YOU AGAIN?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD LET HIM TREAT US LIKE THIS.

AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO BRING HIS SUITS INTO THE DRY CLEANER'S,

SO DON'T EVEN ASK.

HELLO, WANDA? CHANGE OF PLANS.

WE'RE HAVING THE PARTY HERE. THAT'S RIGHT, HERE.

CALL EVERYONE AND TELL THEM I'M HOSTING.

AL FRESCO. OF COURSE I'M SURE.

I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT.

( laughing ) YOU'RE SO BAD.

OKAY, WE'LL COME OVER THEN.

ME TOO.

BYE.

WE CAN'T GO TO SCOTT'S.

DEREK IS OVER THERE. HE'S REALLY NICE. YOU'LL LIKE HIM.

BUT WE HAVE TO GO TO THE STUDIO. WE SAID THAT WE WOULD.

- WE WILL, JUST RELAX. - ( cell phone vibrates )

- IT'S MY MOM. - DON'T ANSWER IT.

I HAVE TO.

- HELLO. - Mrs. Tuttle: Heather, where are you?

Rhonda says you're keeping secrets.

PLEASE PUT SARAH ON THE PHONE.

Now.

- HELLO. - SARAH, YOU LIED TO MY FACE.

YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE COMING.

Now I am here and Rhonda is here, and we are waiting for you.

We want to take you under our wing,

but you can't lie and get what you want.

MRS. TUTTLE, I'VE BEEN TO CHURCH WITH YOU TWICE

AND RELIEF SOCIETY.

IT'S A LOT FOR NOT HAVING BEEN

IN SIX YEARS.

I JUST WANNA BE HEATHER'S FRIEND.

Well, lying-- lying just jeopardizes

your relationship with Heather. Don't you understand that?

( blues music playing )

Man: ALL RIGHT, TWO FOR ME TOO.

UMM...

TWO FOR ME.

DEALER TAKES TWO.

YOU HEARD ANYTHING FROM REESE?

HE SAYS HE'S ENJOYING RETIREMENT.

- THAT SON OF A BITCH. - I'M IN.

IMPECCABLE TIMING.

PETE JUST BOUGHT A HANDFUL OF BARS DOWN IN COLORADO.

GENTLEMEN'S BARS.

YOU WANT A DRINK, BILL?

DON'T DRINK.

I'LL SEE YOU.

HEY, YOU KNOW HALEY HAD A SHOOT TODAY.

WHO SHOT HER?

NEIL AND BEN DOWNANDEATER.

I'M IN.

YOU WANNA RAISE IT?

NO, I'LL-- I'LL JUST SEE.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

A COUPLE OF THREES.

ACES.

LOOK, BILL. I'M JUST GONNA COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY THIS.

I'M NOT ALL THAT CRAZY ABOUT DOING BUSINESS WITH A SQUEAKY CLEAN MORMON.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT CLEAN WAS GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

- WHO SAID I WAS L.D.S.? - YOU WANT A SMOKE, BILL?

I DON'T SMOKE.

GIVE ME THREE, WOULD YOU?

( sighs )

I'M GOOD.

- THREE. - DEALER TAKES TWO.

CLEAN'S OKAY.

IT'S SQUEAKY THAT'S BAD.

NAME YOUR VICE THERE, BILL.

LOOK, I DON'T PRETEND TO KNOW YOU,

SO DON'T PRETEND THAT YOU KNOW ME.

I'LL BET $500.

I'LL SEE THAT FIVE, I'LL RAISE YOU FIVE.

MAN CAN ONLY BLUFF SO FAR, HUH?

I'LL SEE YOUR FIVE...

RAISE YOU 1,000.

ARE YOU IN OR NOT?

( knocks on door )

HI, BARB.

MARGIE-- OH MY GOLLY.

YEAH, IT'S THE HONEYMOON SUITE. BILL'S DOWNSTAIRS.

UM.

( clears throat )

- I GUESS I'LL JUST WAIT FOR HIM. - MM-HMM.

- YOU KNOW, MARGIE-- - BARB--

- GO AHEAD. - NO, YOU.

WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY

THAT THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULD FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THIS.

- I DON'T FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. - OH.

- WELL, GOOD. - I FEEL FURIOUS.

- AT ME? - MM-HMM.

NO, BILL'S THE ONE WHO CALLED, WHO SET THIS WHOLE THING UP.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE UP FOR THE HONEYMOON I NEVER HAD.

YOU HAD A HONEYMOON.

NO, I HAD ONE DAY BEFORE YOU CALLED BILL

AND MADE US COME BACK BECAUSE YOU SAID TEENIE HAD A FEVER.

SHE DID HAVE A FEVER.

I HAD TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE IT WAS SO HIGH.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. I THINK YOU WERE JUST UPSET,

AND SO YOU CALLED BILL AND MADE HIM COME BACK,

AND IT COMPLETELY RUINED MY ENTIRE HONEYMOON. THAT'S WHAT I THINK.

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?

NO! NO, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRINKING.

AND IF I WANTED TO DRINK, I CERTAINLY WOULD.

- I WOULDN'T LET YOU STOP ME. - I THINK YOU'RE BEING UNREASONABLE.

YOU'RE BEING UNFAIR, AND I THINK YOU'RE BEING A LITTLE UNKIND.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME JUST BECAUSE BILL CALLED YOU, BARB.

WAIT JUST A MINUTE. WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?

YOU SAW HOW EXCITED I WAS TO BE THE PUBLIC WIFE. NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID.

- WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE? - JUST LAID OFF FOR ONCE, BARB!

JESUS CHRIST! JUST FOR ONCE, LAY OFF!

( door opens )

BARB, YOU MADE IT. HOW WAS THE DRIVE?

UH, IT WAS-- UH-HUH.

MARGIE?

JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP AND...

TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES.

( door slams )

COULD YOU HAVE HANDLED THIS ANY WORSE?

SHE'S A MESS. YOU SAID SHE WAS FINE.

SHE'S DISAPPOINTED. SHE'LL GET OVER IT.

WELL, THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY,

BUT SHE'S TAKING IT OUT ON ME.

I ADMIT I MISCALCULATED.

WELL, YEAH. A BIT OF A SNAFU.

WELL, THAT'S WHY I APPRECIATE YOUR COMING SO MUCH, BARB. I REALLY DO.

SO, I GOT ANOTHER ROOM.

IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE HALL. IT'S GOT A GREAT VIEW.

YOU GO AND GET CHANGED FOR DINNER, AND I'LL TALK TO MARGIE.

A ROOM DOWN THE HALL? NO, I DON'T THINK SO, BILL.

WELL, I CAN'T ASK MARGIE TO MOVE.

- I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT. - WELL, I DON'T THINK I CAN STAY HERE WITH YOU.

MARGIE AND I ARE STAYING HERE.

YOU'RE THE ONE GOING TO THE OTHER ROOM. END OF DISCUSSION.

Man: WATCH THE LINE.

- ( Roman grunts ) - Man: THERE WE GO.

OH, GOD!

- THANK YOU. - ( coughing ) HELP ME.

I WANT YOU TO GO TO THE CLINIC AND BRING MORPHINE.

MORPHINE AND VICODIN TOGETHER, AND VALIUM.

WHAT ARE-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

THERE ARE OTHER PAINKILLERS... AND SEDATIVES.

BRING THEM ALL.

SIR, FRANK HARLOW WANTS TO SEE YOU.

HELLO, THOMAS.

SORRY, MISS ADALEEN, NO ONE'S ALLOWED IN THIS ROOM.

YES, I THINK THAT'S... WISE.

SORRY, MA'AM, NO EXCEPTIONS. YOUR SON'S ORDERS.

WELL, THAT'S RIDICULOUS. HE DOESN'T MEAN ME.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

Margene: Am I wrong?

Business or not, I shouldn't be treated this way, right?

WHAT ARE YOU CRYING TO ME FOR? I'M BUSY.

YOU KNOW, AT LEAST YOU WERE ASKED.

This is how Barb always treats you, and you're just waking up to it?

I mean, it's no different than how she treats any of us.

IT'S HIGH TIME BOTH BILL AND BARB

- TOOK MORE STOCK OF US IN THIS FAMILY. - THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK.

I am so sick of all this first-wife-second-wife- third-wife stuff.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THEY'RE BOTH SO FAKE AND PHONY,

- and I hate it! - ( doorbell chimes )

I've gotta go. There's someone at the door.

NICKI.

I'M JUST AN OLD HAND

THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT YOU, SIR...

YOU'VE GOT IT IN YOU.

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF GOD CHOSE YOU

TO BE OUR PROPHET.

YOU DON'T NEED ME,

BUT I COULD SURE HELP--

WARN YOU OF THE DANGERS.

WHAT KIND OF DANGER?

THREATS TO YOUR AUTHORITY;

CONSPIRACIES;

PLOTS;

MY TWO SONS;

BILL TRYING TO APPOINT A TRUSTEE;

JOEY'S NUTTY WIFE TRYING TO POISON YOU.

THEY DISGUST ME.

I COULD BE YOUR EYES AND EARS.

YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE ME ONE THING.

WHAT?

KATHY MARQUART,

RON SCHLAUGHTER'S WIDOW.

SHACKING UP WITH MY SON JOEY.

WHY DO YOU WANT HER?

SHE... APPEALS TO ME

IN A MOUSY KIND OF A WAY.

I WANT THAT GIRL.

( footsteps recede )

- ( bell rings ) - Man over P.A.: All right, pull back a little farther.

All right. Right there, that's good.

- I'M SO HAPPY YOU CAME. - WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

- Can we get playback? - THEY'RE BROADCASTING PART OF THE SUPPORT GROUP,

AND THEN I'M GONNA SING A SONG-- A SURVIVOR SONG,

PART OF MY QUEST FOR JUSTICE.

I REALLY HATE YOU.

I JUST WANTED MY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD TO HEAR ME SING.

- AND APRIL WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. - SARAH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

OH, WELL NOBODY HAS TO DO ANYTHING, BUT IT MIGHT BE NICE.

APRIL IS AN INSPIRATIONAL WOMAN.

BOISE STANDARD NAMED HER THE "MOST COURAGEOUS WOMAN OF THE YEAR" IN 1993.

- SARAH, DON'T-- - SHUT UP,

OR I WILL TELL HER THAT YOU WANT TO KISS HER ON THE LIPS.

AND WHEN I SAW HIM, I SAID TO DICK,

"I KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE LONG

BEFORE BILL HENRICKSON GOT INTO THE BAR BUSINESS."

I MEAN, AN ENTREPRENEUR IS AN ENTREPRENEUR.

WE'RE REALLY NOT IN THE BAR BUSINESS.

- NO, BUT GAMING AND BARS... - GO TOGETHER.

THEY DO. THEY GO TOGETHER, BARB.

SO, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOURSELF

WHILE BILL'S BEEN EXPANDING?

I'VE BEGUN A GRADUATE DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK.

- REALLY? - ( Margene cackles loudly )

- Meredith: SOCIAL WORK? OH, THAT'S SO EMPATHETIC. - OKAY, I WANNA WATCH.

AND ISN'T THAT SO SUPPORTIVE OF YOU, BILL,

- TO PICK UP ALL THE SLACK AT HOME? - Barb: WE HAVE TO SAY

THAT WE REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT

YOU TO BE IN THE BAR BUSINESS, MEREDITH.

- AND WHY IS THAT? - WELL, YOU KNOW WHY.

- Dick: PRECONCEPTIONS. - Meredith: PRECONCEPTIONS. RIGHT, BILL?

YOU KNOW, THE IDEA THAT JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T DRINK LIQUOR

WE SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE BUSINESS OF SELLING LIQUOR.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT DICK SAYS--

"SAINTS CAN RUN A RACKET BETTER THAN ANY GENTILE."

Dick: ISN'T YOUR MS. HEFFMAN SO LOVELY?

BARB TELLS ME SHE FINDS SOME PEOPLE FEEL

THAT, WELL, MAKING MONEY

OFF PRACTICES THAT OUR RELIGION BANS IS A BIT HYPOCRITICAL.

- "HYPOCRITICAL." - BILL SAYS I SHOULD LOOK AT THE MARRIOTTS.

EXACTLY. JUST THINK OF THE HUE AND CRY

IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE BARS IN THEIR HOTELS.

Bill: WELL, I WAS REFERRING TO THEIR ADULT MOVIES,

THE IN-ROOM PORNOGRAPHY IN THEIR HOTELS,

AND YET THEY'RE STILL STALWART PILLARS OF THE COMMUNITY.

( Margie cackling )

( chuckles )

WHO IS SHE WITH?

OH, THAT'S LARRY, OUR G.M.,

AND DAVE AND PETE ARE CLIENTS.

OH.

- UH-OH. - HI, I'M OFF THE CLOCK,

BUT THERE WAS THIS ONE LAST MESSAGE.

OH.

- THANK YOU. - MM-HMM.

- ( Dick chuckles ) - Meredith: WELL.

( Dick clears throat )

SO BILL, WHY DON'T YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR MACHINES?

VIDEO GAMING.

( cackling loudly )

Bill: WEBER GAMING DISTRIBUTES GAMES

IN SIX STATES-- UTAH, ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO,

COLORADO, IDAHO AND NEVADA.

- ( people chatting ) - ALL RIGHTY.

I'VE NEVER HAD MEYER LEMON DIP BEFORE.

- YOU'RE SO GENEROUS, NICKI. - I'M HAPPY TO DO IT.

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE ME,

BEING HERE DOING THIS,

ANNOUNCING OUR INTENTION TO MARRY,

THREE SOULS TOGETHER IN A WORLD LIKE THIS.

BUT WE DID.

SOMETIMES FAITH LEADS US TO THE PRINCIPLE,

BUT MAYBE SOMETIMES THE PRINCIPLE LEADS US TO THE FAITH.

HUH?

- Ben: MY UNCLE IS JOEY. - Girl: OH, KATHY IS MY SISTER.

OH, SO IF YOUR SISTER MARRIES MY UNCLE,

I GUESS THAT'LL MAKE YOU MY AUNTS.

- THAT'LL BE NICE. - THAT'LL BE NICE.

- WHAT GRADE ARE YOU IN? - WE'RE IN 10th GRADE...

- 10th. - ...BUT WE READ AT A COLLEGE LEVEL.

- WE COULD BE FRESHMEN IN COLLEGE. - YOU WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE?

UNLESS WE GET MARRIED.

- WE'RE GONNA MARRY A RIGHTEOUS MAN... - RIGHTEOUS.

- ...LIKE YOU. - LIKE YOU.

COOL.

I LET MYSELF IN,

BUT THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE GUESTS.

I HAVEN'T SANCTIONED THIS UNION.

SHE'S SPOKEN FOR.

NO, SHE'S NOT.

OH YES, SHE IS.

YOU LISTEN TO ME, ALBY. YOU WILL NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME.

DON'T-- DON'T SAY ANYTHING, NICKI.

YOU'VE BEEN BAD,

AND YOU KNOW IT.

YOU WERE ON THE COMPOUND LAST WEEK-- THURSDAY.

YOU SIGNED IN AT 2:00, YOU LEFT AT 2:45.

YOU WEREN'T AT MY MEETING. YOU WEREN'T AT THE BIG HOUSE.

WHERE WERE YOU, NICKI?

WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

- YOU'RE A THIEF. - THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

- YOU STOLE 60,000-- - I DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY. WE HAVE PLENTY.

WE HAVE A NEW BUSINESS.

- WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS? - A GAMBLING BUSINESS.

- GAMBLING. - AND IT'S WORTH A TON OF MONEY-- A TON.

WEBER GAMING.

LET'S GO.

- SIR? - LET'S GO.

WE'RE SO GLAD YOU CAME, SARAH.

APRIL SAYS THINGS ARE HARDEST ON US, THE CHILDREN.

- ESPECIALLY ON YOU. - WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH MY FAMILY?

RHONDA, GO GET READY.

RHONDA SAID YOU WANTED TO COME TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR GROUP.

- RHONDA'S A LIAR. - YES, SHE IS,

BUT THINK ABOUT THE LIES YOU TELL EVERY DAY

TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY, AND TO PROTECT YOURSELF.

I USED TO BE LIKE YOU,

SO SURE I HAD IT ALL SQUARED AWAY.

IT WAS MY PARENTS, NOT ME, RIGHT?

I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU, IF YOU'LL LET ME.

I'M LEAVING.

I GOT TO KNOW YOUR MOTHER, SARAH.

SHE'S A GOOD WOMAN IN A BAD SITUATION.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROTECT HER. I KNOW IT TEARS YOU UP.

ALL YOU WANT IS A NORMAL LIFE, BUT EVERY CORNER YOU TURN,

YOU SMACK INTO THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER CHOICE.

IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO SAY YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH.

IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO LET GO OF HER.

DO YOU KNOW THAT?

TELL ME YOU KNOW THAT.

I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD STAY.

- THANK YOU, BILL. - YOU BET, THANK YOU.

All: GOOD NIGHT.

BYE.

Larry: WE GO BACK-- WHAT, HOW MANY YEARS?

- Peter: 15 YEARS. WE USED TO GO FISHING. - Larry: THAT'S RIGHT.

- Dave: SPENT A LOT OF TIME FISHING. - ( laughs )

- Peter: STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THESE TWO GUYS. - Larry: 15 YEARS.

- Dave: IS THAT PLACE STILL THERE? - I DON'T KNOW.

MR. AND MRS. HENRICKSON.

HOW WAS YOUR DINNER?

IT WAS NICE, MARGENE.

YOUR SECRETARY HERE HAS BEEN TELLING US SOME PRETTY INTERESTING STORIES.

ANYTHING ELSE TONIGHT, MR. HENRICKSON?

YES. ARE YOU READY TO GO UPSTAIRS NOW?

I'M SORRY, WHERE ARE MY MANNERS?

I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY WIFE BARBARA.

- HI, PLEASED TO MEET YOU. - Man: HOW ARE YOU?

AND OF COURSE, YOU'VE MET MY OTHER WIFE MARGENE.

YOUR OTHER WIFE?

YES. HONEY?

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT RE-UPPING WITH WEBER GAMING?

HOW MANY MORE WIVES DO YOU HAVE, BILL?

JUST ONE.

SHE'S AT HOME WITH THE KIDS.

WELL, WE'LL BE TALKING TO YOU REAL SOON THERE, BILL.

AND NICE MEETING YOU, MA'AM, MARGIE.

GOOD NIGHT.

YOU OKAY?

NUTS?

NO, THEY'RE TOO EXPENSIVE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ACTING LIKE BEING INTRODUCED LIKE THAT

IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU,

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS EXHILARATING.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SABOTAGE.

EXCUSE ME IF I THINK THINGS ARE MOVING A LITTLE TOO FAST.

BARB, LET ME HAVE WEBER GAMING.

YOU CAN HAVE HOME PLUS.

LET ME BE BILL'S WIFE FOR WEBER.

YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IT ISN'T YOU.

IT'S NOT.

Man over P.A.: Just a little more to the left out there.

- Man £2: TAPE IT DOWN HERE? - Man £3: HERE WE GO.

- Man: Yeah. - ( silent )

Woman: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IS THAT BETTER A LITTLE LOWER?

Man: Just a little bit lower, yeah.

( people chatting )

Man £4: OH, THAT'S BETTER.

Announcer on TV: Welcome back to the program.

It's been our privilege

to have some very unique individuals on.

And today we're lucky enough to share another one of them with you.

Our next guest has a truly amazing story to tell.

Her harrowing escape from the polygamist confines of Juniper Creek

has touched all of us. But before we get into her story,

ladies and gentlemen, it's my great pleasure

- to introduce Ms. Rhonda Volmer. - SLEEP, PAPA, SLEEP.

- ( applause on TV ) - I'LL AVENGE YOU.

- HE'LL PAY. - ( Rhonda singing on TV )

( groans )
