Barn:
IT'S MY GREAT PLEASURE
TO INTRODUCE

THIS YEAR'S INTERNS.

PROBABLY IN ABOUT
10 YEARS

A FEW OF THEM WILL BE
HERE AS SENATORS

- AND YOU'LL
NEED THEIR VOTE.
- ( laughter )

SO YOU'D BETTER BE
EXTRA NICE TO THEM.

( applause,
gavel pounds )

Barn:
LET'S GO TO WORK.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE PRESS
IS CALLING US?

"THE FOOLS ON THE HILL,"

"THE FOLLIES HENRICKSON."

WE HAVE A LEGISLATIVE
SESSION AHEAD OF US

THAT I'M IN CHARGE
OF MAKING PRODUCTIVE.

I'VE GOT TO MOVE ON

FROM THE POLYGAMY
SIDESHOW.

EVERY MORNING
I WAKE UP

WITH THE THREAT
OF IMPEACHMENT
HANGING OVER ME.

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

IT'S GOT TO END.

I'VE GOT A PROPOSAL--

A MORATORIUM OF SORTS.

YOU BACK DOWN.
WE BACK DOWN.

EVERYTHING GETS FROZEN--
STATUS QUO.

WE ALL TAKE A BREATHER

AND SORT OUT OUR ISSUES
AT A LATER DATE.

I'M IN?

YOU STOP
THE INFLAMMATORY SPEECHES.

YOU STOP THE PROVOCATIVE
INTERVIEWS.

YOU STOP INCITING PROTESTS.

YOU BECOME A NORMAL,

QUIET FRESHMAN SENATOR.

WHAT ABOUT
MY IMPEACHMENT?

GETS TAKEN CARE OF.

UNLESS YOU'VE GOT

SOME NEW COLOSSAL BLUNDER
UP YOUR SLEEVE,

YOU'LL SERVE OUT
THE SESSION.

I WANT MY BILL
INSTITUTIONALIZING
SAFETY NET.

WE'RE OPERATING UNDER
TEMPORARY FUNDING.

- FINE.
- I WANT IT FAST-TRACKED.

WITHOUT EMERGENCY FUNDING,
THERE'S THREE SHELTERS

THAT WILL BE FORCED
TO TURN AWAY WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.

IT ALSO FUNDS COUNSELING
AND HEALTHCARE.

STOP. ENOUGH.
I HEARD YOU.

ACCEPT THE OFFER
THAT'S ON THE TABLE,

REALLY.

HOW DO I KNOW
YOU'LL HONOR YOUR SIDE
OF THE AGREEMENT?

I TAKE LEAVE TO OPEN
A FILE FOR A BILL

AUTHORIZING PERMANENT FUNDING
FOR THE PROGRAM KNOWN
AS SAFETY NET.

IN FAVOR? OPPOSED?
MOTION CARRIES.

SAID BILL IS SENT
TO THE RULES COMMITTEE
FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION.

I TAKE LEAVE TO TABLE
JOINT HOUSE-SENATE BILL 114,

RECRIMINALIZATION
OF POLYGAMY AND BIGAMY.

IN FAVOR? OPPOSED?
MOTION CARRIES.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE'VE GOT A DEAL.
IT'S OVER. WE'RE IN.

TO TOSS THE FIRST BALL
FOR THE DAY,

WE HAVE HEISMAN FINALIST
KERRY LIGHTCAP.

( laughter, applause )

YOUR SOUL IS BECOMING
CLEARER TO ME

VIA TIDBITS.

I'M NOT SURE I KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.

YOU ARRIVED ON MY DOORSTEP
ASKING FOR MONEY.

THEN I HEAR A TIDBIT

ABOUT MONIES OWED
TO VEGAS GAMBLING DENS

AND AN APPETITE
FOR RISK.

TIDBITS--

INTERESTING TIDBITS.

THEY WERE CHEATS.

A BAR FIGHT,
A MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE.

HELP ME OUT--

I KNOW MANSLAUGHTER
INVOLVES DEATH.

I DON'T THINK IT'S
ACTUALLY PREMEDITATED,

BUT IT IS
INTENTIONALLY INFLICTED,

IS IT NOT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU NEED MONEY

AND I HAVE PROJECTS
THAT NEED TENDING,

PROJECTS THAT
REQUIRE SOMEONE

WITH YOUR
PARTICULAR RESUME.

I JUST WONDER IF YOU'RE
REALLY THE RIGHT GUY.

GUESS WE WON'T KNOW

TILL YOU ASK ME.

THE BILL TARGETING ME--
DEFEATED.

I'M WELCOMED
INTO THE CAUCUS.

PEOPLE ACTUALLY TALK TO ME
IN COMMITTEE.

YOU'RE THE MONKEY
THE BOA CONSTRICTOR
COULDN'T SWALLOW.

THEY HAD TO
SPIT YOU OUT.

THEY'RE USED TO
BACKROOM DEALINGS.

THEY COULDN'T WITHSTAND
THE SUNLIGHT I BROUGHT.

YOU KNOW,
I'M STARTING TO BELIEVE
THE DAY WHEN ANYONE

WHO PRACTICES PLURAL MARRIAGE
CAN LIVE IN THE OPEN
IS WITHIN SIGHT.

AMEN.

THE REASON I WANTED
TO TALK, DON--

I WANT TO FINALLY MAKE
A DISTRIBUTION.

I WANT TO PAY A DIVIDEND
ON THE HOME PLUS
CLASS A STOCK.

I THINK THIS DEAL MEANS
THE WORST IS FINALLY
BEHIND US.

WELL, IF IT MEANS

THE PROTESTS
AT THE STORE COOL OFF,
ALL THE BETTER.

THERE WERE TWO ARRESTS
AT THAT SKIRMISH

IN THE PARKING LOT
YESTERDAY.

ANYWAY, I'LL GET WITH
THE ACCOUNTANTS MONDAY
ABOUT THE STOCK.

I'M GONNA KNOCK OFF
EARLY TOMORROW.

TAKING GARY AND BAKER
ICE FISHING

FOR A COUPLE DAYS
OUT PAST FLAMING GORGE.

HEY, TRY AND STOP
AT DINOSAUR MONUMENT.

THEY GOT THIS GREAT
NEW VISITORS' CENTER.

MY BOYS LOVED IT.

GOOD NEWS.

IT HAS TAKEN ME
MOST OF THE MORNING,

BUT I HAVE FINALLY
SQUARED YOUR CALENDAR AWAY.

THAT'S GREAT, HONEY.

RIGHT NOW
I NEED YOU FULL AHEAD ON
THE SAFETY NET LEGISLATION.

BARN REPORTED TO COMMITTEE.
IT'S BEING FAST-TRACKED.

HERE'S THE DRAFT
OF THE BILL.

MAKE COPIES FOR EVERYONE
IN THE HOUSE.

WELL, BILL, JUST
SEND THE COMPUTER FILE
TO THE HOUSE SECRETARY.

I WANT A PERSONAL
TOUCH TOO.

I'LL HAVE
THE COVER LETTER FINISHED
BY THE TIME YOU'RE DONE.

FINE.

JUST GET ME A REPLACEMENT
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,

BECAUSE I AM OVER
BEING AN INTERN.

- EVERYONE HATES ME.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE.

NO ONE WILL GIVE ME
THE CODE FOR THE COPIER.

I'VE BEEN SNEAKING OVER
TO KINKO'S.

WAIT.

BARB, SIT FOR A MINUTE?

GLADLY.

I SPOKE TO LEE
A COUPLE DAYS AGO
ON ADOPTING CARA LYNN.

I'M JUST GETTING A SENSE
OF THE PROCESS AND
THE TIMELINE.

OH GOOD.
I'M GLAD.

I THINK MAYBE

NOW THAT WE'RE
ON SOLID FOOTING AT LAST,

WE CAN REALLY
DISCUSS THIS.

IN WHAT SENSE?
DOES HE ANTICIPATE
ANY PROBLEM?

I DON'T KNOW
IF THIS IS A BIG DEAL
OR A SMALL DEAL.

- I HOPE IT'S A SMALL DEAL.
- WHAT, BILL?

UTAH DOESN'T ALLOW
UNMARRIED COUPLES TO ADOPT.

WELL, THAT DOESN'T
APPLY HERE.

NICKI DOESN'T HAVE TO ADOPT.
SHE'S THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER.

NO, FOR ME TO ADOPT
CARA LYNN,

I NEED TO BE MARRIED
TO NICKI LEGALLY.

I ASKED LEE TO CHECK
OTHER STATES,

BUT THEN WE'D RUN INTO
BIG RESIDENCY ISSUES.

I SEE.

WE'D STILL BE
SPIRITUALLY MARRIED.

IF YOU REALLY
THINK ABOUT IT,
IT REALLY CHANGES NOTHING.

YOU'RE SAYING YOU AND I
WOULD BE GETTING A--

IT'S A LEGAL MANEUVER,
NOTHING MORE.

LOOK, I KNOW HOW MUCH
THIS IS TO PROCESS.

I WAS AS SURPRISED AS YOU
WHEN LEE TOLD ME.

WHO HAVE YOU
DISCUSSED THIS WITH?

ONLY LEE. OF COURSE
I CAME TO YOU FIRST.

WE'D STILL LOVE EACH OTHER.
IT'S ONLY A WORD.

OH NO.

IT FEELS SO MUCH MORE
THAN THAT.

THIS ONE--

I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE GOT TO THINK
THIS ONE THROUGH.

HOW DID IT GO?

CARA LYNN'S
IN THE KITCHEN.

HE WANTS ME TO DO
SOMETHING REALLY BAD.

- LIKE WHAT?
- I DON'T WANT
TO TELL YOU.

- WELL, WILL HE GIVE YOU
MONEY FOR IT?
- YEAH.

THEN I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT.
AND I THINK YOU THINK SO TOO.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK MAYBE
WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE.

IF WE LEAVE
WITHOUT THAT MONEY,
WE'LL LOSE THAT HOUSE.

YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT,
VERLAN.

I TOLD YOU,
I'LL BE FINE UP HERE.

VERLAN, HI.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
BACK FROM THE COMPOUND.

I'LL GET YOU
A HOT CHOCOLATE.

THANKS.

THANKS FOR
LOOKING OUT FOR RHONDA

WHILE I'VE BEEN BUSY.

FEELS GREAT KNOWING
SOMEONE'S WATCHING MY BACK.

HERE, WILL YOU TAKE HER
INTO THE OTHER ROOM
AND CHANGE HER?

HE'S SO GOOD
WITH THE BABY.

WELL, I AM TOO.

DEAR LORD.

HELLO, NICKI.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?

I'M VISITING.
I'VE CHANGED A LOT.

WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?
AND HOW DID SHE GET IN?

MOM, RHONDA'S MARRIED
TO MY COUSIN VERLAN.

I'VE BEEN
HANGING OUT WITH HER

WHILE HE'S BEEN WORKING
AT JUNIPER CREEK.

VERLAN SAVED ME.

WHY? LOOK, SHE IS
NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.
YOU DON'T KNOW HER.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
I SAID I'VE CHANGED.

AND I HEAR YOU HAVE TOO,

TRYING TO SAVE
GIRLS LIKE ME THIS TIME.

NOW YOU LISTEN.

I NEVER HAD ANYTHING
BUT YOUR BEST INTERESTS
AT HEART.

- AND THOSE WERE
COMPLICATED TIMES.
- I'VE HEALED.

AND THAT ENABLES ME
TO FORGIVE YOUR FATHER
FOR TRYING TO RAPE ME.

RHONDA!

AND YOU, FOR PUSHING ME
INTO MARRYING HIM.

MOM, THIS IS VERLAN
AND THEIR BABY JESSICA.

- HI.
- ( Jessica fussing )

( Jessica crying )

IT'S OKAY.

SO WE FEEL
LIKE THIS IS

SUCH A WONDERFUL
TIME REALLY.

IN THE SENATE,
MY HUSBAND BILL
IS WORKING HARD

TO BUILD BRIDGES
TO HIS L.D.S. COLLEAGUES

SO THEY CAN WORK
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
ON IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.

BUT YOU'VE HAD PROBLEMS.

IT WAS A LITTLE BUMPY
AT FIRST,

BUT BY NOW
EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE
TO GET USED TO US A BIT.

WHEN I'M OUT
RUNNING ERRANDS,

PEOPLE ARE
STARTING TO APPROACH
AND ASK SINCERE QUESTIONS

ABOUT OUR FAITH,
ABOUT HOW I CAME
TO JOIN THE FAMILY.

I THINK THAT'S
A POSITIVE SIGN.

AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE

ANY PREJUDICES
AGAINST POLYGAMY--

OH, WE PREFER
"PLURAL MARRIAGE."

--PREJUDICES AGAINST
PLURAL MARRIAGE

WHEN YOU MET
THE HENRICKSONS?

I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT BEING OPEN IS
THE ONLY WAY TO BE.

I'VE FOUND
THAT PEOPLE WHO JUDGE
BEFORE THEY KNOW

ARE USUALLY PRETTY
FRIGHTENED INSIDE,

AND I REFUSE TO LIVE
THAT KIND OF A SMALL LIFE.

YOU'RE A REPORTER.

YOU INVESTIGATE HOW
ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE LIVE,

SO YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.

I WAS ONCE MARRIED
TO BARBARA STANWYCK.

( door opens )

I-- I DON'T KNOW
WHO THAT IS EITHER.

THIS GAME IS
A WASTE OF TIME.

HI. THE KIDS AND LOIS
ALREADY ATE,

BUT WE WAITED
SO WE COULD CELEBRATE
THE MORATORIUM TOGETHER.

OH, THANK YOU.
WHAT A LONG DAY.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG,
SO I MADE STEW.

THE MISMATCHED CANDLES
ARE MARGIE'S CONTRIBUTION.

I WAS BUSY
THIS AFTERNOON.

I GAVE AN INTERVIEW.

INTERVIEW?

- MM-HMM, FOR "THE TRIBUNE."
- ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT HOW WE'RE JUST LIKE
EVERYONE ELSE, EVEN THOUGH
WE'RE IN A PLURAL MARRIAGE,

ABOUT HOW OUR FAITH
SUSTAINS US.

OUR FAITH? MARGENE,
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FAITH,
OR PLURAL MARRIAGE,
FOR THAT MATTER?

ENOUGH TO BE
INTERVIEWED ABOUT IT.

I HAVE A RADIO INTERVIEW
TOMORROW.

YOU'RE LETTING
MARGIE GIVE INTERVIEWS
ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE?

WELL, WITH THE DEAL
I MADE WITH BARN,

- IT'S BEST I DON'T DO
ANY MORE INTERVIEWS.
- HI.

AND MARGE IS THE BEST
AMBASSADOR PLURAL MARRIAGE
HAS RIGHT NOW.

SHE HAS A NATURAL ABILITY
TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE
WITHOUT BEING PROVOCATIVE.

THE REPORTER HEARD ME
SPEAKING AT THE SWEARING IN.

HE WAS CURIOUS ABOUT MY TAKE
ON BEING A PLURAL WIFE.

WELL, I--
I SPOKE THEN TOO.

I KNOW.
ISN'T THAT FUNNY?

Nicki:
I CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT I'M HEARING.

WE'D BETTER HOPE HE DIDN'T
ASK ANY REAL QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE.

AS IT SO HAPPENS
I'M DISCOVERING MY FAITH--
A TRUE FAITH.

AND I WANT YOU
TO RESPECT THAT.

Barb:
WELL, THAT'S WONDERFUL,

BUT IT WOULD BEHOOVE US
TO REMEMBER

THAT YOU HAVE A CERTAIN
ACHILLES' HEEL,

- IF YOU ALL KNOW
WHAT I MEAN.
- GRANTED.

WE'D RAISE MORE SUSPICION
IF WE TRIED TO HIDE HER
AT THIS POINT.

SHE WAS ON THAT
SHOPPING CHANNEL,
FOR PETE'S SAKES.

MARGE CAN HANDLE IT.

- THIS IS JUST
A BIG JOKE, RIGHT?
- OKAY, COOL IT.

TONIGHT WE PUT ASIDE
THE SNIPING AND CELEBRATE.

WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH A LOT.

WE ALSO HAVE A LOT
TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

THIS DEAL MAY
HELP ENCOURAGE OTHERS

TO JOIN US
IN THE OPEN.

THE UNRELENTING PRESSURE
THIS FAMILY'S BEEN UNDER

IS FINALLY EASING.

WE DESERVE
THIS VICTORY.

( knocks on door )

MOM?

I JUST WANTED
TO SAY GOOD NIGHT.

I DON'T LIKE IT HERE.

I KNOW STARTING NEW
IS HARD,

BUT YOU USED TO
SAY IT YOURSELF--

YOU COULD STAND ON YOUR HEAD
AND SPIT WOODEN NICKELS.
YOU CAN DO THIS.

THIS WILL NEVER BE
MY HOME.

IT CAN BE
IF YOU'LL LET IT.

NO, IT CAN'T.

THE THINGS YOU TALK ABOUT
DON'T INTEREST ME.

THE THINGS YOU LAUGH AT
I DON'T FIND FUNNY.

YOUR HOUSES ARE PRETTY,

BUT MEAN NOTHING TO ME.

I-- I JUST DON'T WANT
TO BE HERE.

I WANT TO GO HOME.

DARN IT, MOTHER.

YOU NEED TO MAKE AN EFFORT
AND I MEAN IT.

THERE'S NO DISCUSSION.

AFTER THE FIRE IN THE CABIN
AND GETTING LOST WITH THE KIDS,

YOU CANNOT LIVE ALONE
ANYMORE.

AND I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT.

GOOD NIGHT.

I WAS WONDERING

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
CARA LYNN'S ADOPTION.

YOU KNOW, I TOLD HER
THINGS WERE MOVING ALONG.

NICKI, I'M DOG-TIRED.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT
THIS LATER?

WELL, IT'S JUST
CARA LYNN'S BEEN ASKING
A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

SHE'S WORRIED.
I CAN TELL.

AND I KNOW
HOW BUSY YOU ARE.

I COULD CALL
LEE HATCHER IN THE MORNING,
GET HIM WORKING ON IT.

NO, DON'T DO THAT.
I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN
TO LEE.

I KNEW
YOU PROBABLY HAD.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.
THERE'S A CATCH.

A CATCH?

WELL, WHAT KIND OF CATCH?

IS IT BECAUSE I LEFT HER?
DO THEY THINK I'M
AN UNFIT MOTHER?

IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT.

IN UTAH UNMARRIED COUPLES
CAN'T ADOPT A CHILD.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

THEY HAVE
NO RIGHT TO DICTATE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

NONE WHATSOEVER.

I'M THE ONE WHO SAYS
WHO GETS TO ADOPT
MY DAUGHTER.

IT'S THE LAW.

LEE SAID THERE'S
NO WAY AROUND IT.

FOR US TO ADOPT,
WE HAVE TO LEGALLY MARRY.

MARRY?

WELL, WHAT-- WHAT DO WE
THINK ABOUT THAT?

WE HAVE TO
THINK IT THROUGH.

- AND BARB?
- WE TALKED ABOUT IT.

IT OBVIOUSLY AFFECTS
HER AS WELL.

OBVIOUSLY.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE.
IT'S A LOT TO ASK.

OF COURSE IT IS.

IT'S UNFAIR--
A SHOCK.

STAY OUT OF IT, NICKI.

DAILY BRIEFING,
DAILY BRIEFING,

DAILY BRIEFING, DAILY
BRIEFING,

DAILY BRIEFING,
DAILY BRIEFING,

DAILY BRIEFING, DAILY
BRIEFING,

DAILY BRIEFING.

( cell phone ringing )

- BARB?
- GOOD MORNING.
I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 5:00,

AND I'VE DISTRIBUTED
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
ON THE SHELTER.

AND I'M ABOUT
TO START CALLING

EACH SENATOR DIRECTLY
TO TRY TO GET YOU
FACE TIME.

WORK ON WELCH
AND EVANS FIRST.

THEY'VE BOTH
DONE A LOT OF WORK
WITH RUNAWAYS.

THEY MIGHT BE MY WAY IN.
ANYTHING ELSE?

THERE WAS A WEIRD MESSAGE
ON THE OFFICE VOICEMAIL
THIS MORNING.

- WHAT, ANOTHER THREAT?
- NO, FROM THE CHURCH.

THE HEAD
OF PUBLIC INFORMATION
WANTS TO SEE YOU.

THE CHURCH? NO.

IT HAS TO BE
SOME KIND OF CRANK.

TRY TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.
I'LL BE IN SHORTLY.

AND, BARB,

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ANY MORE
ABOUT THE ADOPTION?

WELL, WHAT'S THE RUSH, BILL?

WELL, WE'RE A FAMILY

AND WE HAVE SOMEONE
WHO'S UNPROTECTED.

NICKI COULD GIVE UP
HER PARENTAL RIGHTS,

SO YOU AND I COULD
ADOPT CARA LYNN.

I CAN'T ASK THAT.
NICKI JUST BECAME HER MOTHER.

WELL, I NEED MORE TIME.

OKAY.

YOUR PARENTS
SEEMED NICE.

YEAH, THEY ARE.
WE'RE VERY CLOSE.

DO YOU LIVE WITH THEM?

( chuckles )
NO, CARA LYNN.
I'M 37.

I HAVEN'T LIVED WITH THEM
FOR A WHILE.

YOU FINISHED?

DO YOU LIVE
WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

NO, I DON'T HAVE
A GIRLFRIEND.

AND EVEN IF I DID,
I WOULDN'T MOVE IN
WITH HER BEFORE MARRIAGE.

SOME THINGS SHOULD WAIT.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
TO LEARN ABOUT CALCULUS,

NOT QUESTION ME
ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE.

IT'S MADE FROM
THE PAPAYA STONE,

WHICH IS PACKED
WITH XANTHONES.

IT MAINTAINS
INTESTINAL HEALTH,

SUPPORTS
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM,

NEUTRALIZES
FREE RADICALS.

AND GOJI IS A SOCIALLY
CONSCIOUS COMPANY

BUILT ON
THE SAME PRINCIPLES
AS OUR FAITH.

IT IS OUR FAITH
IN ACTION.

HOW DO WE GET
OUR HUSBANDS

TO LET US USE
FAMILY MONEY TO START?

THAT IS
A GREAT QUESTION.

AND I'M NOT SAYING
THAT IT WILL BE EASY,
BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

BILL, ONCE HE UNDERSTOOD,
ENCOURAGED ME.

AND YOU CAN WORK ON TEAMS
WITH YOUR SISTERWIVES.

I SOLD BEST CHEF
A FEW YEARS BACK
AND LOST MONEY.

I REMEMBER THEM.
PRETTY SHODDY PRODUCT.

AT THIS POINT,
I'M ACTUALLY ADDING

TO THE FAMILY POT
EACH WEEK.

YEAH, IT'S REALLY
A SIMPLE BUSINESS MODEL:

I RECRUIT YOU TO SELL;
YOU RECRUIT OTHERS.

WE ALL HELP EACH OTHER
TO BECOME ENTREPRENEURS.

AND I'VE FOUND
GOJI PROMOTES

LUSTROUS,
MORE MANAGEABLE HAIR.

BILL TOLD ME ABOUT
THE ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS.

HE TOLD YOU?

YES.

IT'S A REAL PICKLE.

YES, IT IS.

AND BILL'S NOT SURE HOW
HE'S GONNA HANDLE IT YET.

NO, HE'S NOT SURE.

CARA LYNN NEEDS TO BE
IN OUR FAMILY.

SHE WAS ALMOST MARRIED
AT MY MOTHER'S SEALING.

AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT
WHAT J.J. DID--

NO, I UNDERSTAND.
I WANT HER PROTECTED TOO, BUT--

BUT WHAT, BARB?
HER COUSIN IS HERE
WITH RHONDA.

- RHONDA VOLMER?
- RHONDA WALKER.

TRYING TO LURE CARA LYNN
BACK INTO THE FAMILY,

MANIPULATING
HER AFFECTIONS.

I WILL DO ANYTHING
TO PROTECT MY DAUGHTER.

AND IF IT WAS SARAH,
I WOULD DO IT IN
A HEARTBEAT.

YOU KNOW I WOULD.

WELL, I'M NOT SAYING
I WILL OR I WON'T.

I'M JUST SAYING WE NEED
TO EXPLORE OUR OPTIONS.

WHICH BILL HAS DONE,
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT
HE DECIDES.

FINE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS FINE.
IT MEANS MAYBE.

IT MEANS MAYBE
THERE'S A DIFFERENT WAY.

BILL IS OUR SHEPHERD,

UNLESS YOU'RE SAYING
HE'S A BAD SHEPHERD.

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

BUT MAYBE I CAN MAKE
A DECISION.

MAYBE YOU CAN.

DID YOU EVER
THINK OF THAT?

WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

I'M SAYING THERE ARE
OTHER WAYS OF THINKING,
OTHER WAYS OF BELIEVING.

DO YOU WANT ME
TO SPELL IT OUT?

MAYBE I HAVE
THE PRIESTHOOD.

MAYBE YOU DO TOO.

YOU THINK YOU HOLD
THE PRIESTHOOD?

YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I BELIEVE.

- ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
- KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

- WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU?
- THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
I HAVE COME TO LIGHTLY.

NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

YOU WANT TO BE A MODERN
OR A LIBBER,

SIPPING WINE,
GOING TO DANCEHALLS?

WELL, THIS ISN'T THAT.

THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE
ALTOGETHER.

AND WHEN EXACTLY DO YOU
PLAN ON TELLING BILL?

I DON'T KNOW.

A LOT'S HAPPENING.
THOUGH SOON.

SOON?

NO. NOW.

NO. NICKI--

YOU HAVE TO.
HE HAS TO KNOW.
AND HE'S GONNA FLIP OUT.

- DON'T SAY THAT.
- HE WILL.

I AM WAITING
FOR THE RIGHT TIME.

THERE IS NEVER GONNA BE
A RIGHT TIME FOR THIS,

BELIEVE ME.

( sighs )
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE GONNA TELL HIM
RIGHT NOW, THIS SECOND.

THIS IS A CANCER
AT THE HEART OF THIS FAMILY.

- HE IS GONNA FLIP OUT.
- ALL RIGHT, NO, NICKI.

YOU HAVE TO.

Woman:
MR. PRESIDENT,
THE RULES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS

THE ASSIGNMENT
OF THE FOLLOWING BILLS
TO STAND IN COMMITTEE:

TO THE BUSINESS
AND LABOR COMMITTEES--

SENATE BILL 173;

GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS
COMMITTEE--

SENATE BILL 180,
SENATE BILL 212

AND SENATE BILL 232;

WORKFORCE SERVICES

AND COMMUNITY
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT--

SENATE BILL 147

AND HOUSE
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 1;

NATURAL RESOURCES,
AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENT--

SENATE BILL 164

AND HOUSE BILL 278;

HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT--

BILL 210

AND HOUSING
RESOLUTION 27.

IS IT POSSIBLE
THIS IS RELATED TO
SARAH AND TEENIE LEAVING?

MAYBE YOU'RE SEEKING
MY ROLE BECAUSE YOU FEEL

YOURS AS CHILD-REARER
IS GOING AWAY--
IT'S COMPENSATION.

BILL, IT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THAT.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS
PERSONALLY.

I'M NOT
TAKING IT PERSONALLY.
IT'S DOCTRINE.

THERE'S A WAY
A FAMILY WORKS
THAT'S GOD-GIVEN.

IT'S IN OUR SCRIPTURE.
IT'S IN OUR D.N.A.

DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH ME ASKING
FOR A DIVORCE?

ARE YOU TRYING
TO BE PETTY?

PETTY?
I'M TRYING FIND OUT

WHY MY WIFE IS SUDDENLY
QUESTIONING THE PROPHETS.

I HAVE A CALLING

FROM THE STILL,
SMALL VOICE.

THE PRIESTHOOD
IS CALLING ME.

BUT IT'S PASSED DOWN,
CONFERRED BY THE LAYING
OF HANDS.

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY IT
AND POOF.

WHAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING
GOES TO THE VERY CORE

OF WHAT WE BELIEVE--
JOSEPH SMITH

AND THE RESTORATION
OF THE PRIESTHOOD
AFTER 2,000 YEARS.

IT GOES TO THE CORE
OF WHAT I BELIEVE.

IF I IGNORE IT,
I AM DENYING MY
ESSENTIAL TRUTH.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

DO YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION?
DO YOU WANT ME TO GRANT IT?

OR DO YOU ALREADY
POSSESS IT?

OR YOU JUST
WANT THE FAMILY
TO RECOGNIZE IT?

I THINK SO.

DON'T DO THIS TO US.

I DON'T GET TO MEET AS MANY
OF MY NEW ASSOCIATES
AS I'D LIKE TO.

- THANKS FOR COMING IN.
- ARE YOU KIDDING?
I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE.

I JUST GOT BACK FROM ETHIOPIA.
I'M A LITTLE BIT JET-LAGGED.

I WAS WATCHING YOUR
MONTHLY SALES MESSAGE
ONLINE LAST NIGHT

AND SAW THAT GOJI'S
BUILDING SCHOOLS AND
BRIDGES IN GUATEMALA.

I AM IN AWE OF THIS
COMPANY YOU'VE BUILT.

WELL, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE NO SLOUCH YOURSELF.

YOU'VE BEEN
BUILDING YOUR DOWN LINE
EXTRAORDINARILY FAST.

OH, I LOVE SALES.

AND IT'S NOT HARD
WHEN YOU HAVE A PRODUCT
YOU BELIEVE IN.

MY DILIGENT ASSISTANT
HAS FLAGGED SOME NEW
REPS OF YOURS--

HOME ADDRESSES
AT JUNIPER CREEK.

I HAVE TO ADMIT
I HAD NO IDEA WHO YOU WERE
WHEN WE MET AT V.S.N.

OH.

YOU'RE A POLYGAMIST.

YOU'RE ONE
OF THE INFAMOUS WIVES
OF BILL HENRICKSON.

YEP.

YOU SEEM LIKE
SUCH A SMART WOMAN.

I AM A SMART WOMAN.

MAYBE IT'S NOT
LIKE YOU THINK.

MAYBE IT'S NOT.

AND HOW ABOUT
YOUR HUSBAND BILL, HUH?

MUST BE QUITE A CHANGE
FOR YOU ALL--

HIM WORKING
UP ON THE HILL 24/7.

MM, IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT.

IS THIS THE PART
WHERE YOU TELL ME

THAT BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY
AND OUR BELIEFS

I CAN'T BE
A PART OF GOJI?

THIS IS WHERE I POINT OUT

THAT WE ARE A PREDOMINANTLY
L.D.S. ORGANIZATION,

ESPECIALLY HERE IN UTAH,
AND IT'S COMPLICATED.

WELL, YOU'RE DOING
GREAT HERE.

YOU COULD REALLY
GO FAR WITH US.

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
HOPE FOR THE BEST.

2005 IS CORRECT.
TEAM ONE IS STILL
IN THE LEAD.

QUESTION THREE:

OUR BASKETBALL STADIUM IS
CALLED THE HUNSTMAN CENTER,

BUT WHAT WAS
ITS ORIGINAL NAME?

- MARRIOT CENTER.
- SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER.

SORRY, IT WAS
THE SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER.

FOR A FISH OUT OF WATER,

YOU SURE KNOW A LOT
ABOUT THE U.

I WENT HERE

100 YEARS AGO.

HIS NAME WAS ADDED
TO THE STADIUM

FOLLOWING ITS
MASSIVE RENOVATION

THAT ADDED THOUSANDS
OF NEW SEATS.

AND NOBODY THOUGHT
YOU'D ACTUALLY COME TONIGHT

SINCE THE GENERAL
CONSENSUS IS

THAT IT WAS PRETTY CRAPPY
OF YOU TO FIRE ME.

CRAPPY OF ME?

NO.

I ASKED YOU A QUESTION.

YOU REFUSED TO GIVE ME
THE RESPECT OF LOOKING ME
IN THE EYE.

A MAN IN THE ROOM DOESN'T
TURN ME INTO FURNITURE.

AND YOU--
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO NOT
LIKE WHAT I'M SAYING,

YOU ARE ALLOWED
TO NOT LIKE ME,
BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED

TO TREAT ME LIKE
A SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN.

Man:
THE UNIVERSITY
WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1850

UNDER WHAT NAME?

- UNIVERSITY OF DESERET.
- Woman: UNIVERSITY OF DESERET.

Man:
THAT'S RIGHT.

So be it.
Defend yourself, boy.

Narrator:
Goliath the giant
rushed forward.

David:
I come against you

in the name
of the Lord of Hosts,

the guard of the armies
of Israel,

whom you have defied.

HEY, MOM, YOU GOT HOME
PRETTY LATE LAST NIGHT.

WERE YOU WORKING?

OH, NO.
SORRY IF I WOKE YOU.

I WAS AT
AN INTERN MIXER.

WOULDN'T BE A BAD IDEA
FOR YOU ATTEND.

THEY ALWAYS INVITE
THE SENATORS,

BUT THEY NEVER
BOTHER TO COME.

INTERNS WORK HARD.
THEY SHOULD BE APPRECIATED.

COME ON, BOYS.

MARGENE'S DRIVING YOU
THIS MORNING.

YOUR MOTHER'S
BEEN GOING THROUGH
A BIT OF A ROUGH TIME.

SHE TOLD ME
ABOUT THE DIVORCE.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.

WE'LL STILL BE SEALED,
STILL BE A FAMILY FOREVER.

AS PRIESTHOOD HOLDERS,

WE HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR
OUR FAMILIES ALWAYS.

BUT RIGHT NOW I'M HAVING
A HARD TIME

RECONCILING MY BELIEFS
WITH MY FEELINGS.

SO AM I.

MOM, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING IN HERE?

I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM
OF MY NOT LIVING ALONE.

I'M MOVING IN
WITH YOUR FATHER.

HE'LL BE HERE IN A FEW
MINUTES TO PICK ME UP.

MOM, YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH DAD
FOR 1,000 REASONS.

HE'S IRRESPONSIBLE.
HE'S ABUSIVE.

HE HAS HIS FAULTS.
THAT'S TRUE.

BUT I'LL MANAGE.

BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW.

YOU TOLD HIM
ABOUT YOUR CONDITION?

I DID NOT.
THAT'S MY BUSINESS.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU CAN'T KEEP IT HIDDEN.

I CAN DO AS I CHOOSE.

NO ONE HAS TO
TELL FRANK A THING,

YOU HEAR ME?

HE'S NOT TO KNOW
MY PRIVATE PARTICULARS.

HE CAN'T
TAKE CARE OF YOU.

NOBODY TELLS ANYONE
ABOUT ANYTHING!

NO ONE SPEAKS OF THIS

EVER.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
WHERE'S LOIS?

MOM'S NOT GOING
WITH YOU.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO
COMPLICATE EVERYTHING?

I'M NOT MAKING
THIS TRIP TWICE.

THIS IS NOT A TAXI.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU AND MOM ARE OVER.

YOUR ABUSE OF HER
IS OVER.

ABUSE? SHE CALLED ME
ON THE TELEPHONE

AND ASKED ME
TO COME PICK HER UP.

SO HERE I AM, SHOWING UP
WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE.

NOW GO IN THE HOUSE,
GET HER, PUT HER IN THE CAR,

SO I CAN GET HOME BEFORE
THE ENTIRE DAY IS WASTED.

SHE NEEDS CARE.

CARE?
LOIS NEEDS CARE?

LOIS IS THE LAST PERSON
ON THE PLANET NEEDS CARE.

THE WOMAN COULD SURVIVE
A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION--

JUST LOIS
AND THE COCKROACHES.

LOIS!
( honks horn )

- DAMN YOU.
- DAMN ME WHAT?

MOM'S ILL.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
SHE'S ILL?

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH HER?

SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU
TO KNOW.

SHE HAS DEMENTIA--
VASCULAR DEMENTIA.

SHE CAN'T TAKE CARE
OF HERSELF ANY LONGER.

LOIS IS CRACKERS?

SHE CAN'T REMEMBER THINGS.
SHE GETS CONFUSED A LOT.

SHE NEEDS SUPERVISION.

SHE'S A DANGER
TO HERSELF AND OTHERS.
DO YOU GET IT?

WELL, WHAT IS IT?
HOW DID SHE GET IT?

THEY DON'T KNOW.

NOW COME INSIDE
AND MAKE UP SOME EXCUSE

WHY YOU CAN'T TAKE HER
WITH YOU.

TELL HER YOUR PLACE IS
INFESTED WITH BEDBUGS--
ANYTHING.

HOPEFULLY
WITH A LITTLE TIME

SHE'LL GET USED
TO LIVING WITH US
AND THIS'LL ALL BLOW OVER.

OKAY.

YOU TOLD.

ONLY THE DEMENTIA.
I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT HE NEEDED TO KNOW
WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO YOU.

YOU THOUGHT.
YOU THOUGHT.

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU THOUGHT.

I SAID--
I SAID NOT TO TELL.

I SAID--
I KNOW I DID.

MOM, CALM DOWN.

BLABBERMOUTH!

I HAVE ONLY A BIT LEFT--

A TINY BIT--
AND YOU'VE TAKEN IT.

GRANDMA, IT'LL BE OKAY.

WHAT IN DAMNATION
DO YOU KNOW?

NO ONE KNOWS ME HERE.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

NONE OF YOU KNOW ME.

( door opens,
footsteps )

BARB, DON'T LET
HER DO IT.

DO WHAT?

BENNY JUST TOLD ME
WHAT'S GOING ON.

SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL
BILL FOR HERSELF.

I AM DOING NOTHING
OF THE SORT.

ALL I WANT
IS A SAFE HOME
FOR MY DAUGHTER.

OH, LOOK.

A BIG FAT PIG JUST FLEW
PAST THE WINDOW.

CARA LYNN IS JUST YOUR EXCUSE.
THIS IS A POWER GRAB,
PURE AND SIMPLE.

I MEAN, YOU ALL BUT SAID IT.
YOU DID SAY IT--

"I DON'T WANT
TO SHARE BILL."

WELL, YOU CAN
SCARCELY BLAME US
IF WE ALL SUSPECT

THAT THERE MIGHT BE
SOME MIXED MOTIVES
AT PLAY, NICKI.

AND PROTECT HER FROM WHO?
FROM GARY?

AND NOW FROM HER COUSIN?
YOU ARE SO CONTROLLING,
YOU'RE ALIENATING HER.

Nicki:
I AM CONTROLLING.

SHE GREW UP
ON A COMPOUND.

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS.
NEITHER OF YOU DO.

SHE'S CONFUSED
AND MESSED UP.
I KNOW.

OH WAIT.
DID I MENTION

SHE JUST FOUND OUT
HER ABUSIVE FATHER
IS DEAD?

SHE IS SO DAMAGED
AND TWISTED,

SHE STILL THINKS
SHE LOVES HIM.

Barb:
WELL, OF COURSE
SHE'S DAMAGED, NICKI.

WHO WOULDN'T BE?

OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GETTING MORE JUICE.

BARB'S ALL OUT.

LET'S GO.

AND IT SEEMS TO ME
NOT LONG AGO

YOU WERE RUNNING
AROUND CRYING

THAT A MARRIAGE DECREE
WAS ONLY A PIECE OF PAPER.

OR DOES THAT ONLY APPLY
TO HOT SERBIAN MEN?

THAT'S DIFFERENT.
I DIDN'T LIE IN WAIT,

WATCHING AND CALCULATING,

READY TO PICK US OFF
ONE BY ONE LIKE A SNIPER.

I AM DEEPLY
DEEPLY INSULTED.

IF THAT'S ALL YOU THINK
THIS MARRIAGE MEANS TO ME,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK
IS THE DEPTH OF MY
COMMITMENT TO US--

NICKI, SIT DOWN
AND STOP GRANDSTANDING.

YOU ASK AS IF
THIS IS NOTHING.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN
A DIVORCE IN MY FAMILY,

EVER, NOT EVEN
A PAPER ONE.

AND I'VE LIVED THROUGH
MY MOM'S DIVORCES,

AND NO MATTER HOW HARD
EVERYONE TRIES, THEY ARE UGLY

AND THEY BRING OUT
THE WORST IN PEOPLE.
I DON'T WANT THAT FOR OUR KIDS.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHO IS TRULY THREATENING
OUR HAPPY HOME,

YOU NEED TO LOOK
NO FURTHER THAN BARB
AND HER WILD IDEAS.

DO YOU MIND IF I'M
THE ONE WHO TELLS HER?

OH NO.
WHAT NOW?

BARB WEARS THE PANTS
IN THIS FAMILY NOW.

- LEAVE IT TO YOU
TO REDUCE IT TO THAT.
- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

BARB HAS DECLARED HERSELF
OUR NEW PRIESTHOOD HOLDER.

- LIKE BILL AND BEN?
- EXACTLY.

SHE GIVES BLESSINGS.
SHE PREACHES THE GOSPEL.

SHE MAKES ALL
THE DECISIONS FOR US.

BUT OF COURSE, YOU'RE
THE EXPERT NOW ON MORMONISM.
I'M SURE YOU KNOW ALL THAT.

I BELIEVE WOMEN TO BE
CO-EQUAL WITH MEN

IN OUR ESSENTIAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH HEAVENLY FATHER.

WAIT, WHAT'S SO WRONG
WITH THAT?

UGH, ANOTHER
PERFECT EXAMPLE

OF WHY I DO NOT WANT YOU
REPRESENTING ME IN PUBLIC.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE THINK
THAT I'M THE SUNNY FACE
OF POLYGAMY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.
MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
I SMILE ONCE IN A WHILE.

YOU CAN BE SO UTTERLY RIGID
AND CLOSED-MINDED.

NO, THIS TIME
IT IS NOT ABOUT ME.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
TO OVERSTATE THIS.

BILL IS NOT GONNA
STAND FOR IT.

YOU DON'T GIVE HIM
ENOUGH CREDIT.

YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
HE DOES IS ABOUT FAITH--

FAITH FIRST,
THEN FAMILY.

WHAT YOU ARE DOING
COULD TEAR US ALL APART.

Baker:
WHAT DID MOM
PACK US FOR LUNCH?

Don:
TUNA FISH SANDWICHES
AND PIE.

( pop song playing
on stereo )

Gary:
STEP ON IT, BAKER.

YOU'RE FISHING THE SURFACE
AND I'M GOING DEEP.

- DAD.
- HMM?

DON'T.

I LEFT MY PLIERS
IN THE TRUCK.

I'LL GET 'EM.

I'LL GO TOO.
GOTTA TAKE A LEAK.

THANKS, BOYS.

AND BRING
THE DECK OF CARDS

- AND MORE CDs.
- OKAY.

( both grunting )

* Spread your tiny wings
and fly away *

* And take the snow back
with you *

* Where you came from
on that day *

* The one I love forever
is untrue... *

WAIT HERE.

DAD. DAD.

DAD. DAD.

DAD.

JOSHUA SEALMAN,
MANAGING DIRECTOR,

- CHURCH PUBLIC
AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT.
- HOW ARE YOU DOING?

AND KIM MAJORS,
SPOKESWOMAN FOR
THE DEPARTMENT.

- NICE TO MEET YOU ALL.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.

- DANISH?
- THANK YOU, NO.

( chuckling )

I HAVE TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU--

WELL, I NEVER IMAGINED
I'D BE INVITED INSIDE
THESE WALLS.

NEW DAYS FOR ALL OF US.

WE'LL GET TO THE POINT,
IF YOU DON'T MIND.

PLEASE DO.

THERE'S AN INTENSE
NATIONWIDE DISCUSSION
UNDERWAY ABOUT US.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT IT IS ACCURATE
ON HOW WE ARE DEPICTED.

THUS OUR REQUEST

THAT YOU MAKE
NO MORE ASSOCIATIONS

BETWEEN YOU, YOUR MOVEMENT
AND THE CHURCH.

THIS ISN'T A GREAT START.
YOU LOST ME.

OF COURSE MY CHURCH
HAS NO ASSOCIATION
WITH THE L.D.S.

I'M REFERRING
TO YOUR MISUSE
OF THE WORD "MORMON,"

CALLING YOURSELF
A MORMON POLYGAMIST

ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE,
IN INTERVIEWS.

THAT HAS TO STOP.

WE CANNOT BE ASSOCIATED
OR CONFUSED WITH POLYGAMY.

MORMON IS
AT THE FOUNDATION
OF OUR BELIEFS.

IT IS MY RIGHT
AND THE RIGHT OF ALL
PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLE

TO CALL OURSELVES MORMON.

THE PROBLEM IS
YOUR WORDS ARE BEING USED

BY THOSE WHO WANT TO SMEAR
THE MORMON FAITH.

IT JUST FUELS THE
LET'S-ATTACK-THE-MORMONS CROWD.

IT IS MY BIRTHRIGHT,
MY LEGACY.

IT'S THE CAUSE
THAT I'M FIGHTING FOR.

LET'S BE CANDID
ABOUT YOUR CAUSE.

THE BULK
OF YOUR MOVEMENT

ARE NOTHING MORE THAN
RELIGIOUS TUMBLEWEEDS,

FANATICS WHO
WOULD BE OUT BLOWING UP
ABORTION CLINICS

IF THEY HADN'T BECOME
POLYGAMISTS,

AND WOMEN WHO CAN'T
GET A MAN ANY OTHER WAY.

YOU ARE DEEPLY INSULTING

AND PROFOUNDLY IGNORANT
OF WHO WE ARE.

A FEW SHARED TRAITS

IS HARDLY ENOUGH
TO MAKE YOU A MORMON.

ROMAN GRANT
WAS NOT A MORMON.

ALBERT GRANT IS NOT A MORMON.
YOU ARE NOT A MORMON.

DON'T COMPARE ME
TO THOSE CRIMINALS.

I AM TRYING TO HEAL
THE BREACHES BETWEEN US.

THERE'S NO REASON
WE CAN'T COEXIST.

YOU'RE A FORWARD THINKER,
A MAN WITH A PLAN.

THINGS ARE GOING WELL
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

THE BILL RECRIMINALIZING
POLYGAMY HAS BEEN SHELVED.

THERE ARE THINGS
YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH

IN THE SENATE--
IMPORTANT THINGS.

YOUR RECENT AGREEMENT
MAKES MANY THINGS POSSIBLE.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR
INVOLVEMENT IN MY AGREEMENT
WITH SENATOR BARN?

Sealman:
AS SHEPHERDS TO MILLIONS
OF VOTING MORMONS,

WE PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION TO WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE STATE HOUSE.

I SEE.

PRAY ON IT.

SO YOU'RE TELLING ME
YOU'VE HAD NO CONTACT
WITH THE CHURCH?

NONE AT ALL.

THEY INVITE
ALL THE REPUBLICANS,

THEN THE DEMOCRATS IN
TO LUNCH AT THE START
OF EVERY SESSION.

THEY WISH US WELL;
WE EAT; WE LEAVE.

THEY EXPRESS THEIR WISHES
AND YOU HOP TO IT.

THAT MEETING IN YOUR OFFICE
WAS ALL A SET-UP

TO SUCKER ME
INTO A DEAL.

WHICH YOU WOULD BE
SMART TO TAKE.

IF YOU DON'T,

YOUR SAFETY NET
LEGISLATION

WILL FALL OFF
THE FAST TRACK

INTO THE BOTTOMLESS
ABYSS OF COMMITTEE.

YOU WOULD RENDER
A GROUP OF WOMEN
AND CHILDREN HOMELESS?

WE'VE SPENT 100 YEARS

SEPARATING OUR BRAND
FROM YOU POLYGAMISTS.

DO YOU REALLY THINK
YOU CAN COME ALONG
AND CHANGE THINGS?

YOU BET I DO.

DID YOU DO IT?

I DID IT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

LOOK, I SAID I DID IT.

AND YOU'RE SURE
HE'S DEAD?

WHY THAT GUY ANYWAY, HUH?

HE'S BILL'S BEST FRIEND.

BILL HENRICKSON
STOLE MY WIFE LURA.

HE'S DESTROYING
THE PRINCIPLE.

GET RID OF BILL THEN.

BEFORE I ENJOY
HIS DOWNFALL?

CAN I HAVE MY MONEY?

- OKAY, SEE YA.
- NO.

HEAVENLY FATHER HAS GREAT
REWARDS IN STORE FOR YOU--

THE SWEETEST WIVES
YOU CAN IMAGINE,

FIRST DIBS
FOR SERVING HIS PROPHET.

YOU ARE NOW AN ALBY-ITE.

I'VE HAD YOUR THINGS
MOVED INTO THE HOUSE.

IF WE DON'T TAKE THE DEAL,
IT MEANS WE LOSE THE FUNDING
FOR SAFETY NET,

MEANS IT'S STILL
OPEN SEASON ON POLYGAMY,

MEANS WE GO RIGHT BACK
INTO THE FRYING PAN.

- WHAT A BUNCH OF BALONEY.
- SO WHY ARE THEY SO SENSITIVE
ABOUT US BEING MORMON TOO?

BECAUSE WE HAVE
MORE CLAIM ON OUR SHARED
HISTORY THAN THEY DO.

THEY BUCKLED TO PRESSURE
AND SURRENDERED THE BLESSING
OF PLURAL MARRIAGE.

NOW THEY SAY MORMON BELONGS
EXCLUSIVELY TO THEM.

IT'S NOT THEIR CALL.

WELL, THEY'VE TAKEN OUT
DOZENS OF TRADEMARKS
ON THE WORD.

THEY CAN PUNISH ANYONE
WHO USES IT IN A WAY
THEY DISLIKE.

SO YOU'RE SAYING
THEY'D SUE US?

DOES ANYONE EVER WISH
WE JUST LIVED IN HOUSTON?

LOOK, MY FATHER WAS
A FALSE PROPHET, BUT HE WAS
RIGHT ABOUT SOME THINGS.

THE CATHOLICS ARE SATANIC
AND THE CHURCH DOWNTOWN
IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON.

SO IF THIS DEAL KEEPS BILL
IN THE LEGISLATURE,

THEN TELL THEM
WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.

- YEAH, IT'S JUST A WORD.
- Barb: IT'S NOT JUST A WORD.

THEY EXCOMMUNICATED ME,
BUT THEY DO NOT DICTATE
MY IDENTITY.

I ADHERE TO THE TEACHINGS
OF MORMONISM.

I HAVE BEEN A MORMON
MY ENTIRE LIFE.

SOME THINGS MEAN
TOO MUCH TO YIELD.

I'M AWARE OF THAT.
HOWEVER, THE WELFARE OF THIS
FAMILY IS TO BE CONSIDERED.

THERE'S THE WHOLE ABILITY
TO GET FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS
THAT NEED IT.

SO YOU'RE SAYING
THE PRINCIPLE BOWS
TO EXPEDIENCY?

DON'T PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS

ANY DECISION NEEDS TO BE
PUT THROUGH THE LENS
OF THE GREATER GOOD.

YOU GUYS ARE FIGHTING
ABOUT THE PRIESTHOOD.
BILL, JUST LET HER HAVE IT.

IF BARB HAD BEEN
OUR PRIESTHOOD HOLDER,

YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE
IN THE FAMILY.

NICKI WOULDN'T
BE IN THE FAMILY.

THE SIX BEAUTIFUL SOULS
YOU'VE BOTH GIVEN THIS FAMILY
WOULDN'T EXIST.

AS LONG AS WE'RE
PUTTING ALL OF OUR CARDS
ON THE TABLE--

WHETHER BARB
HAS THE PRIESTHOOD,
WHETHER WE'RE MORMON--

I'D LIKE MY PART
ADDED TO THE MIX TOO.

I WANT US TO DO
GOOD THINGS.

I NEED OUR FAITH
TO BE IN ACTION.

I REALLY DO.

I'D LIKE TO SAY
SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN ON A LONG JOURNEY
FULL OF TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS.

OH, BROTHER.

BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING,
BECAUSE I FOUND JESUS CHRIST

AND MY OWN VERLAN,
WHO SENDS HIS REGARDS.

AND SOON VERLAN
WILL HAVE $50,000

AND WE'LL RETURN
TO NEVADA

AND WE'LL BUY
OUR DREAM HOUSE
IN HENDERSON.

THANK YOU.

GRANDMA DIDN'T EAT.

SHE WON'T COME OUT
OF HER ROOM.

SHE CUSSED ME OUT
WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN
THE DOOR.

FINISH YOUR DINNER.

( knocks )

MOM.

THAT'S BREAKFAST AND LUNCH.
I BROUGHT THEM UP MYSELF.

SHE MUST HAVE HIDDEN THEM
IN HER ROOM.

( knocks )
MOM, OPEN UP.
OPEN THE DOOR.

YOU DON'T REALLY THINK

THAT SHE'D HURT HERSELF?

( drill buzzing )

I AM NOT GOING TO
EAT A MORSEL

UNTIL YOU PROMISE
I CAN GO HOME.

BECAUSE I AM
GOING TO GO HOME

ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WATCH HER AROUND THE CLOCK.

EXCUSE ME,
CAN YOU TELL ME

WHERE I MIGHT FIND
A PATIENT NAMED DON EMBRY?

UH-HUH.

THANK YOU.

I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW SORRY I AM
THIS HAPPENED.

I WASN'T IN THE WATER
THAT LONG, OR ELSE I WOULD
HAVE DIED, BILL.

THE DOCTORS THINK
HE CAN PROBABLY
GO HOME TOMORROW.

TELL ME AGAIN
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS TOO FAR AWAY
TO GET A GOOD LOOK
AT THE GUY.

BESIDES, HE WORE
A SKI MASK.

HE DIDN'T SEEM FAMILIAR
AT ALL TO YOU-- ANYTHING?

IT HAPPENED SO FAST.

COULD YOU RECOGNIZE
HIS VOICE?

HE NEVER SAID A WORD.
IT WAS CREEPY.

THE POLICE THINK IT WAS
PROBABLY ONE OF THE RECLUSES
WHO LIVE IN THE WOODS.

BUT TO CHARGE OUT ONTO
THE MIDDLE OF A FROZEN LAKE

TO ATTACK A STRANGER?

THAT'S PRETTY BIZARRE.

MY BOY SAVED ME.

HEAVENLY FATHER
WASN'T DONE WITH YOU YET.

Nicki:
THE FIRST NUMBER'S MY CELL.
THE SECOND IS MY HOME.

YOU CALL BILL OR ME,
DAY OR NIGHT.

AND, LEONA,
LIVING THE PRINCIPLE
DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ABUSIVE.

THERE'S HOUSING,
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

YOU'LL BE SAFE
AT THE SHELTER.

MAKING THE DECISION
IS THE HARDEST PART,

BUT YOU CAN DO IT.

- WE'LL SPEAK LATER. BYE.
- WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I'VE BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART
OF A SECRET UNDERGROUND
RAILROAD,

HELPING PEOPLE
TRAPPED ON THE COMPOUND.

I THINK IT'S
MY LIFE'S MISSION.

NO. MY ADOPTION.

WELL, HONEY, SO YOU'LL BE
A SAFE AND SECURE MEMBER
OF THE FAMILY.

YOU'RE SURE IT'S NOT
FOR YOU TO MARRY BILL?

CARA LYNN,
HONEY, NO.

THAT'S THE FURTHEST
THING FROM MY MIND.
HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT?

IF IT REALLY IS FOR ME,
THEN I DON'T THINK
THAT I WANT IT.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?

IT'S CAUSING
TOO MANY PROBLEMS.

THERE ARE TOO MANY
HURT FEELINGS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHO TOLD YOU WHAT,
BUT IT'S A LIE.

A LITTLE DUST-UP
DOESN'T MEAN A THING.

IT'S PART
OF BEING MARRIED.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
THROW AN ELBOW TO GET
YOUR RIGHTFUL NEEDS MET.

YOU REMEMBER THAT.

AND I AM A VERY GOOD JUDGE
OF WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE.

SO YOU LISTEN TO ME--

I WANT THIS FOR YOU.

MAY I ASK WHERE WE STAND
ON CARA LYNN'S ADOPTION?

NO CHANGE.

IT'LL WORK OUT.

WELL, I HOPE SO.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW
TORN UP BILL IS OVER THIS.

WELL, DON'T PLAN YOUR
WEDDING JUST YET, NICKI.

THAT'S NOT FAIR.

THIS IS ABOUT
CARA LYNN,

AND YOU AND YOUR SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL,

YOUR MUTUALLY AGREED-UPON
UNDERSTANDING OF EXCLUSIVITY,

HOLDING CLAIM TO
JUST A BIT BIGGER PIECE

OF HIS HEART AND SOUL
AND AFFECTIONS

THAN WE GET,
THAT YOU GUARD JEALOUSLY.

I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN
AS THREATENED BY IT
AS NICKI HAS.

YES, ALL RIGHT.

I DO.

I HAVE A SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH BILL,

ONE THAT COMES
FROM BEING MARRIED
FOR OVER 20 YEARS,

FROM BEING A PART
OF A COUPLE

FOR OVER HALF
MY MARRIAGE,

FROM STRETCHING
AND ACCOMMODATING

IN WAYS
I NEVER IMAGINED.

YOU BET I HAVE
A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

I EARNED IT.

AND NOW YOU WANT
THE PRIESTHOOD TOO.

WELL, YOU CAN'T HAVE
EVERYTHING, BARB.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT
BOTH WAYS.

I BELIEVE I HAVE A CONNECTION
WITH HEAVENLY FATHER
AND THIS FAMILY.

THEN ACT LIKE IT.

CARA LYNN NEEDS
THE CARE AND PROTECTION
OF THIS FAMILY.

IT'S A PROBLEM THAT
NEEDS A SOLUTION.

SO WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO ABOUT IT,
MRS. PRIESTHOOD?

( knocks )

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?

- AND HOW DID FIND OUT
WHERE I LIVE?
- GOOGLE.

CARA LYNN, THIS IS VERY--
THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

I JUST--

I WANT TO FLY AWAY,

ANYWHERE.

I DON'T CARE.

THAT PRIVATE SCHOOL
YOU TALKED ABOUT.

EVERYONE HERE IS A LIAR.

I CAN'T TRUST ANYONE.

COME IN.

MOM, I'LL GET YOU HOME.

I DON'T KNOW HOW,
BUT I WILL.

I PROMISE.

MOM?

THIS MIGHT PROVE TO BE
A BIG MISTAKE.

NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

THE CHURCH HAS
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,

IN BUSINESS,
IN THE MEDIA,

50,000 MISSIONARIES
FANNED OUT AROUND
THE WORLD.

YOUR VOICE IS
VERY WELL HEARD.

OURS ISN'T.

I'M THE ONLY VOICE
WE'VE GOT. NO DEAL.

THINK OF YOUR FAMILY.

I AM.
I ALWAYS DO.

MY FAMILY CAME WEST
TO PROTECT THE PRINCIPLE.

THEN MY FAMILY,
MY GRANDFATHER,

CARRIED THE PRINCIPLE
INTO THE WILDERNESS,

STRUGGLING TO SUSTAIN IT
WHILE YOURS CUT THEIR SAILS

TO CURRY FAVOR
AND ATTENTION.

I AM THE MORMON CHURCH.

YOU'RE POKING
AT A SLEEPING GIANT.

DON'T PUSH ME.
SOMEONE MIGHT REVEAL

THE EXTENT OF
THE CHURCH'S INFLUENCE
IN THE STATE HOUSE.

THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE
IN THIS STATE

WHO MIGHT FIND THAT
OFFENSIVE.

SO YOU LIVED
IN BALLIF HALL?

YEAH, ALL FOUR YEARS.

AND BILL
SHARED A PLACE

WITH FIVE OTHER GUYS
OFF CAMPUS.

- THANK YOU FOR THE PIZZAS.
- OH, OUR PLEASURE.

HAVE YOU BEEN
REASSIGNED YET?

NOT YET.
THEY'VE BEEN USING ME
AS A RUNNER,

GETTING LUNCHES,
MESSENGER BOY,

THAT KIND OF THING.

CONSIDER YOURSELF
ASSIGNED.

NO. WORK HARD
FOR MY HUSBAND.

- READY TO GO?
- YEAH.

WE MAY HAVE
TO TIGHTEN OUR BELT
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

I'M USING
THE HOME PLUS DIVIDENDS

TO FUND THE SHELTERS.

I SAID NO TO THE DEAL.

OH MY.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

I WAS SO NERVOUS.

I HAD $4 IN MY WALLET

AND I STARTED
PANICKING--

WHY WOULD BEAUTIFUL
BARBARA DUTTON

WANT TO MARRY A GUY
WITH $4 IN HIS WALLET?

I KNEW ALL DAY
YOU WERE GONNA ASK ME.

AFTER DINNER,
WE SAT HERE AND...

YOU FINALLY DID.

WHEN YOU SAID YES,
IT WAS THE FIRST

TRUE MOMENT OF JOY
IN MY LIFE.

I'VE BEEN BLESSED
WITH MANY SINCE,

BUT I CAN TRACE THEM ALL
BACK TO THAT FIRST ONE.

I'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY
WITH CARA LYNN.

I WAS WRONG TO EVER
CONSIDER DIVORCE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
VERY SPECIAL BETWEEN US

THAT I WILL
ALWAYS CHERISH.

I WANT TO ACCOMMODATE
YOUR FEELINGS.

I WANT YOU TO FEEL
THAT YOU HAVE A VOICE
IN OUR FAMILY,

BUT, BARB,

YOU HAVE TO RESPECT
THE SUBTLE INGREDIENTS

THAT HAVE GIVEN US
OUR RICH BLESSINGS.

OUR RELATIONSHIP
IS SPECIAL.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

WHEN IT WAS
JUST THE TWO OF US
HERE ON THIS CAMPUS,

TO OUR LIFE NOW

SURROUNDED BY CHILDREN
AND SISTERWIVES.

BUT I'M STARTING
TO UNDERSTAND

A GREATER
RESPONSIBILITY

TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
FOR OUR FAMILY.

I CAN'T GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.

WE NEED TO GET DIVORCED.

YES.

* A FALLING STAR

* FELL FROM YOUR HEART

* AND LANDED IN MY EYES

* I SCREAMED ALOUD

* AS IT TORE THROUGH THEM

* AND NOW

* IT'S LEFT ME BLIND

* THE STARS, THE MOON

* THEY HAVE ALL BEEN
BLOWN OUT *

* YOU LEFT ME

* IN THE DARK

* NO DAWN, NO DAY

* I'M ALWAYS
IN THIS TWILIGHT *

* IN THE SHADOW

* OF YOUR HEART

* I TOOK THE STARS
FROM MY EYES *

* AND THEN I MADE A MAP

* SO I STAYED
IN THE DARKNESS *

* WITH YOU.
