All language subtitles for Law and order S19E03 - Lost Boys

In the criminal justice system

the people are represented
by two separate
yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Can I help you?

Give this ticket
to the man inside.

And listen when he
tells you where to go.

And I'll meet you back here
in two hours. Okay?

You know, we could
go back to the apartment.

You don't have to do this.

The apartment's not our home.

Today, I'm going to
get us home.

Patrol responded
to a 911 call.
Victim is a male, white.

Oh. The kid's 16, 17 tops.

Looks like a single
stab wound to the chest.

My guys are lookin'
for a weapon.

A five dollar bill
and some change.
No wallet, no ID.

Could be a rich kid
from the neighborhood,
with that preppie outfit.

Preppie maybe. Rich, no.
Look at his cuffs.

They're all frayed,
and his pants are too short.

Hand-me-downs or he shops
right out of the bin
at Goodwill.

Fresh haircut,
nails are clean.

He's too well-groomed
to be living on the street.

Even tucked his shirt in.

And buttoned
his top button.

Did you ever
walk around like that
when you were his age?

Not unless my mother made me.

911.
Where's the emergency?

Please, you have
to help him. He's hurt.

Slow down, Miss.
What's your name?

I don't want to say.
He's in Central Park.

Near 77th Street West.

Police and ambulance
are on their way.
Stay right there.

No, I can't stay.

Oh, God, I can't leave him,
but I have to go.

And go she did.
Nobody was around by
the time patrol got there.

Have we got an ID
on the boy?

No. His prints
aren't in the system,

and no missing person
report fits.

Well, our caller
didn't want to leave.
Maybe she knew him.

Did you get the number
from 911?

Yeah.
Our good-enough Samaritan
is Monica Vance.

She lives in
the East Village.
All right.

I didn't make that call.

This girl came running
out of the park, hysterical,

and she asked
if she could use my phone,
so I let her.

Normally I wouldn't,
but she said someone was hurt.

Can we see your phone?

How did you know
she wasn't going to
steal your phone?

That wasn't the vibe
I got from her.

She was wearing this
long frumpy dress,
and sneakers.

She looked like she
ran away from a convent.

We're gonna need
to take your phone.

You see this,
between the keys?
That's blood.

I really need my phone.

You can keep it company
and help us with a sketch
of the runaway nun.

Grab your purse.

The blood on the phone
belonged to our John Doe.

Okay.
What kind of knife
are we looking for?

It wasn't a knife.

It's as sharp as
a knife blade but massier.

"Massier"?
What kind of word is that?

It's a term of art.

The blade was
wider and thicker
than a knife blade.

Those his clothes?
Mmm-hmm.

And what else can you
tell us about our John Doe
in plain English, please?

Well, he was
well muscled,
his hands are calloused.

Probably saw his fair share
of manual labor.

And he had
lentil stew and milk
shortly before he died.

Yummy.

These ink markings
on his undershirt,

they look like
they're hand-drawn.

What have we got here?

Aha! It's stamped.
Hudson Hardware,
648 Lenox Avenue.

I know that key.
That key pays my rent.

Hmm. I'd like to get in
on something like that.

It's a front door key
for the Sherman Street Lofts.

Didn't that place used to be
a barrel factory?

Kids packing in
like sardines over there now,

moving in and out
all the time.

I made eight of those
keys already this week.

You, uh, remember
making one for him?

I don't recognize him.
Sorry.

All right, thanks.

Excuse me,
does this boy live here?

Hey, do you mind
looking at this photo?

Nice work.

Hey, can you help us out?

You guys cops?

Well, not the kind
you have to worry about.

Have you seen this guy,
and this girl?

Her I don't know,
but cool drawing.

We'll pass it along.
What about him?

He's dead, isn't he?

Yeah.

Very. Did you know him?

He hangs out with that kid
who, like, helps the super.

Which one of you guys
is the super's helper?

I am. I'm Patrick.

You know this guy?

Yes, that's Caleb.
What's wrong with him?

This Caleb's bowl?

Yes. He hasn't been
home since yesterday.

What happened to him?

He was found dead
in Central Park.

What?

You all right, son?

Luke is Caleb's brother.

Could you put
that picture away?

We're sorry
about your loss, Luke.

Would you come with us
to identify the body?

Can I go
with him, please?

Sure, why not.

Let's go.

Let me guess.
Lentils?

Caleb said he was
going to the movies
with Luke.

I don't know why he would
have been in Central Park.

Maybe it was to meet a girl,
maybe her.

I don't know.
They've only been here
for two weeks.

Where are they from?

Arizona, a place
called Boyd Canyon.

Is that where
you know them from?

Yes.

But you've been here longer
than two weeks, right?

For three years.

Okay, well,
we're going to need to

get in contact
with Caleb's parents.

I don't know how
you would do that.

I don't know
where Caleb went.

He just told me to
wait for him after the movie.

So, you like going
to the movies, huh?

I don't know.
This was my first time.

You've never been to a movie
back in Arizona?

No.

I don't want to
talk to you anymore.

It's okay.
We're almost done.

Do you recognize her?

No. Can I go
be with Patrick now?

First we're going to
have to call your parents,

so, I'm going
to need a number.

I want to talk to
the other policeman.

My partner?
What do you want
to talk to him about?

He's just more like me.

So, you mean
he's more slim?

Or more white?

Do I scare you
because I'm black?

Son, you can talk
to my partner.
Just sit down...

Hey, hey Luke!
Stop right there.

Don't fight me now.

Hey, hey!
Don't fight me, boy.

You heard the Lieutenant!

What's this? Huh?

"The Garments
of the Holy Priesthood."

"Backward right angle
over the right breast,

"a "V" over the left breast,
a dash at the navel."

Same as the markings
found on the dead boy.

Well, these are
sacred undergarments
of the Mormon Church,

a kind of body armor
against Satan.
These kids are Mormons.

Says here you get
the garments from the church

with the markings
already embroidered on.

Looks like these kids
might have made their own.

That kind of fits.
Luke has never
been to a movie,

and he's afraid
of black people.

Well, that doesn't fit.

The Mormon Church
has been fully open to
black folks for 30 years.

And Mormons go to movies
like everyone else.

Everywhere except Boyd Canyon.

That must be it.

These kids are
Mormon Fundamentalists,

the groups that broke
from the official church

live in isolated compounds
out west.

So what are these boys
doing thousands of miles
from home?

With home-made
magic underwear.

Come on, Patrick,
are we going to find

the same markings
on your undershirt?

You know, I don't know
about your belief system,

but in our belief system,
interfering with a murder
investigation is a crime.

All right, suit yourself, man.

I hope that you don't mind

sleeping next to
rapists and murderers.

True Path.

What's that?

We were in The Church
of the True Path.

What about her?
I don't know her.

Now can I just get Luke
and go home, please?

He's going into foster care
until we can find his parents.

Why can't he go with me?
I'm 21.

Because he needs to
go with his family.

I'm his family.
I'm his brother.

You're his brother, too?
Who're your parents?

Our father is Hoseah Friendly.

Okay.

What about your mother?

My mother is Leah Friendly.
She birthed me.

And then there's
Emily, Luanne,

she's Luke and Caleb's mother,
Sharon and Kallie.

These women are all
married to your father?

Mmm.

They're polygamists.

That's what you'd call it.

Now, can Luke
go home with me, please?

He's 14.

So, one way or the other,
he's going back to
Boyd Canyon.

They don't want him back.

The Elders'll
send him away again.

Why'd they send him away
in the first place?

The same reason
they sent us all away.

Wyatt Landon, the Prophet,
he said we were sinners.

What was your sin?

I told a girl in the church
that I liked her.

Okay, and the Elders
don't approve of
that kind of thing?

It's okay when
they talk to the girls.

But if a boy does,
they send him away.

They want the girls
all for themselves.

Can I make a phone call
to a lawyer, please?

The ticket taker at the movies
said she remembered
Luke going in.

Doesn't remember
him going out.

Well, that opens up
a lot of possibilities.

Turns out Luke,
Caleb and Patrick

are all part of one big
happy polygamist family
back in Boyd Canyon. Thanks.

Sounds like these Elders
had a racket going.

That's Arizona's problem.

Not unless Caleb's murder
makes it ours.

Patrick's lawyer call
was to a home
up in Sloatsburg.

Sloatsburg? Call ACS
and have Luke placed,

and then get yourselves
up to Sloatsburg.

We aren't lawyers.
We help boys who've been
expelled from True Path.

My wife's nephew was
thrown out 10 years ago.

We've been taking in boys
ever since.

We call them the Lost Boys.

They've grown up in
an isolated church compound.

They've never even
heard a radio.

Did Caleb and Luke
ever stay with you?

Just when they first got to
New York two weeks ago.

We didn't have
room for them,

so we arranged for them
to stay with Patrick and John.

Has this girl been here?

No. We only take in boys.

Is that so?

That pink blouse
on your laundry line,

who does that belong to?

They're police, Joan.
We have to trust them.

Michelle. Don't be afraid.

The police officers
just want to talk to you.

Michelle.
Do you know why we're here?

I think so.

Did you make a 911 call
about Caleb Friendly
a few days ago?

Yes.

Michelle, you're going to
have to come with us now.

Please, you can't tell
anyone you found her.

She's in great danger.

She's one of
Wyatt Landon's wives.

Landon,
the Prophet of True Path?

Yes. She ran away from him
two months ago.

If he knew where she was,
he'd come after her.

Caleb was already hurt
when I found him.

Did he say anything?

He couldn't talk.

I just...
I went to get help.

On the call,
you said you had to go.

I was afraid
if I talked to the police,

Wyatt would find out
where I was.

The sheriff in Boyd Canyon
does whatever he says.

This is not Boyd Canyon.

Why were you in the park
in the first place?

I was supposed
to meet Caleb.

He saw that I was staying
at the Weimers' house,

and he knew
I ran away from Wyatt.

He called me,
and he said that he had a way
for me to get my babies back.

You have kids?
Yes.

Eric just turned three
and Efraim's 18 months.

I had to leave them behind
when I ran away.

And now
Wyatt won't let them go.

Why did you run away?

Wyatt married me
when I was 16.

He was 52,

and I was his sixth wife.

I was expected to
make babies for him.

I didn't want to, but...

I love my kids.
I just didn't want
to stay in that life.

How was Caleb
going to help you?

He said Wyatt was
receiving state assistance

by saying my boys were sick
and they're not.

Caleb said he had papers
to prove this,

and if I showed them
to a lawyer,

they would put Wyatt in jail

and I'd be able to
get my babies back.

So you went to the park
to meet Caleb,
to get these papers?

Yeah. But I missed my bus
and I was late,

and Caleb was
already hurt.

Did you tell anyone that
you were going to meet him?

No.

Caleb made me promise not to.

What happened to the papers?

I didn't see them.

I just...
I went to get help.

Thanks.

Well, Caleb didn't
have any papers on him.

Whoever killed him
might've taken them.

Assuming she's
telling the truth.

Well, if Caleb
was helping her,

he was taking on
the leader of his church.

It's hard to believe
a 17-year-old would do that

without talking it over
with someone.

Last person he saw
was his brother.

Yeah.
All right.

Caleb didn't say
anything about Michelle.

He just told me to
wait for him after the movie.

I don't know, Luke,
something this big,

it's the kind of thing
a guy would tell his brother.

Right, Detective?

Okay, kid, pack it in.
You're done with foster care.

Where am I going?

You're going home
to Boyd Canyon.

No! No, I don't want
to go back there.
I like it on the outside.

That's tough.
I'm sure Wyatt Landon'll
be happy to see you,

especially after we tell him
you and Caleb were trying to

put him in prison
for welfare fraud.

Don't tell him that.

Caleb's the one
who wanted to go home.

That's what he was
doing that night,

he was going to fix it
so he could go home.

How?

By giving the Prophet
what he wanted.

Which is what?

Michelle.

The Prophet was mad
that she left.

Caleb was going to do
something to her,
I don't know what,

but then the Prophet
would take him back.

Did you tell anybody
what Caleb was up to?

I told Patrick.

Why him?

Michelle's why
Patrick was sent away.

Patrick wanted to marry her.
But the Prophet threw him out.

I don't know where Patrick is.

I came home from work,
all his stuff was gone.

Terrific.
We've lost our lost boy.

You been on this
since you got home?
No.

You mind if we
check the history?

Patrick's been looking
at buses to West Virginia.

What's in
West Virginia?

A safe house.

I wasn't running away.

Oh yeah?
What were you doing?
I was...

Going to a Lost Boy jamboree?
Sit down.

We know Luke told you
what Caleb was up to
in the park.

No, I didn't know that.

We know it for a fact
that you knew that Michelle
was in danger.

No.

You still believe in
the good book, Patrick?

Yes. I still believe.

Swear to us that
you were not in the park
that night with Caleb.

No.

Take it in your hands,
and swear to us.

Swear it on
the good book, Patrick.

Patrick,

if you went to the park
to help Michelle

that was a righteous
thing to do.

We know she's the reason
Landon bounced you out
of the church.

You thought
Caleb might hurt her,

so you had to do something.

I followed him into the park,

just to talk to him,
to make sure
he didn't hurt Michelle.

He wouldn't listen to me.

He said I was ruining
his one chance of going home.

He fought me.

Now you're
starting to make sense.

You probably brought
a weapon with you, right?

No, I did not have a weapon.

I'm pretty sure that you
didn't see it as a weapon,

more so like a persuader,

something to use
in case you had to stop Caleb
from hurting Michelle.

Patrick,
whatever you did,

was in defense
of Michelle,

and a righteous thing.

All right.

Yes, I did have something.

A wood chisel
from the super's toolbox.

"Docket number 08359,
People v. Patrick Friendly.
Murder in the second degree."

My client pleads not guilty.

Am I reading this right,
Ms. Rubirosa?

Two Mormon kids
go at it in the Park?

Fundamentalist Mormons,
Your Honor.

The defendant followed
the victim into the park

and then stabbed him to death
with a chisel.

Because the victim was
intent on harming a woman

who had escaped from
their polygamist sect.

Even the police told
my client that his
actions were righteous.

They were
working a suspect, Ms. Ziff,

you can't take them
at their word.

A jury might.
We're asserting
a justification defense.

Good luck
with that, Ms. Ziff.

Bail is set at
one million dollars.

They're going to argue
a justification defense.

Did Caleb have a weapon?

The only things
found near the body

were an old Frisbee
and a dog's chew-toy.

Check this out.
In the background,

the object on the park wall.

It's a can of motor oil?

Yeah. Sinclair motor oil.

Sinclair's headquarters
is in Salt Lake City,

home of the Mormon Church.

Could be a signal.

Okay, looks like
we've got something.

Looks like two male adults.

What do you figure
this is about?

Two guys parked in a van
50 feet from where

Caleb was meeting Michelle
in the park.

To me, it looks like
the plan was for Caleb to
walk her out of the park,

spot the signal,
then walk her past the van,

these guys snatch her.

And take her back home
to the Prophet.

New York.
Alpha-Yankee-Quebec-3711.

Okay.
The van is registered to

a car rental company
in Palmyra, New York.

Greentree County's
where Boyd Canyon is.

Can I help you?

You guys are a long way
from Arizona.

What brings you to Palmyra?

Yeah, that's right,
we're New York City
detectives.

We're here on a pilgrimage.

Palmyra is the birthplace
of the Mormon Church.

It's where Joseph Smith
had his first vision.

But you're not
mainline Mormons, right?

You're with the
Church of the True Path.

Well,
enough of the small talk.

The rental company
in town said that you guys
rented a white van yesterday.

That's right.

Where did you go with it?

We went to New York City,
to visit the
Mormon Temple there.

We didn't want
to take the camper,
burns too much gas.

You went to the Temple,
you came straight back here.

No. We parked
next to the park there

and took a nap
before the long drive back.
Is there a problem?

I'm afraid there is.
You see, the van was
rented to someone

named Wyatt Landon.

There were no other drivers
authorized on the contract.

I'm Wyatt Landon.

What's the problem?

You're Wyatt Landon,
the Prophet?

You know a Caleb Friendly?

He's a young man
who grew up in our church,

until he was asked to leave.

When was the last time
that you talked to him?

Three weeks ago,
when I asked him to leave.

You sure about that?

You didn't talk to him
about getting your wife
Michelle back?

No.

I say your wife,
but, uh, what is it,
number six, seven?

She's awfully cute...
And young.

I can see why
you would do anything
to get her back.

Henry, Levi,
go back inside.

Not so fast.

These men are being
arrested for unauthorized
use of a vehicle.

That's ridiculous.

There's no Levi or Henry
on the rental contract.

Now, did you drive these men
to New York City yesterday?

I didn't think so.

Now, Mr. Landon,
I'd advise you not to
leave Palmyra.

The sheriff, he'll be
keeping an eye on you.

Persecution and harassment
are nothing new to me.

Have a blessed day.

Palmyra's holding them
until we can charge them
with attempted kidnapping.

The worst of it is,
the more you invest in
this kidnapping theory,

the more you help
Caleb's killer with his
justification defense.

You have to decide
who you want more.

Or another way
to look at it...

If Landon put
this kidnapping scheme
in motion,

it's the reason
Caleb was murdered.

We could charge Landon
with felony murder.

Landon's fingerprints
need to be all over this.

The police found
a 16-minute phone call
two days before the murder

from the public phone
at the RV park

to the public phone
two blocks from the lofts
where Caleb was staying.

That's not evidence.

Landon has to be
the mastermind.

His followers
don't even sneeze
without his permission.

That's not evidence.
We have a kidnapping
conspiracy.

We need an overt act
by Landon.

Hell, I'd settle for
a threat to his wife that
he'd have her kidnapped.

That can't be.

He thought
you were in danger.

We think Caleb was
conspiring with Wyatt
to kidnap you.

Is Wyatt here?

No. He's upstate,
in Palmyra.

The police are watching him.
He can't hurt you.

Have you talked to him
since you ran away?

Twice, to beg him to
let me have my kids.

Did he threaten you
in any way?

He said I would suffer
celestial punishment
if I didn't come back.

He had a revelation that
I was on fire in the desert.

What'll happen to Patrick?

He'll have a trial.
Chances aren't good.

But it's my fault.
I mean, I let Caleb fool me.

No, you wanted to believe
that he could help you
get your sons back.

What he said about
Wyatt stealing state money,
it just sounded so right.

Why?
What did Caleb say exactly?

He said Wyatt had
told the state

that my eldest son Eric
has asthma, and he doesn't.

He just has
an allergy to feathers,

and that Caleb said that
before the state nurse was
able to examine Eric,

Wyatt put him
on a feather pillow

to make his allergies
kick in.

Who knows that your son
is allergic to feathers?

Just me and Wyatt.

We got him.

These defendants came
into our jurisdiction

to kidnap a woman who
ran away from their sect.

My clients are religious men,
church leaders.

They're polygamists.

Mr. Landon has six wives
ranging in age from 19 to 43.

We're not here
for that, Ms. Rubirosa.

These men have no ties
to the community,

their lifestyle demonstrates
their utter indifference
to our laws...

These are not men who
dodge their responsibilities.

With six wives,
I should hope not.

Your Honor...
Yes, yes, Ms. Rubirosa.

The defendants
are remanded till trial.

Your Honor, we believe

the mother of
my client's children
is a flight risk.

We request you order
the People to produce
Michelle Landon for trial.

On what basis?

My client's right to
confront the witnesses
against him.

Sixth Amendment,
Mr. Cutter.
She is the intended victim.

The People are
ordered to guarantee

Ms. Landon's appearance
at trial.

Next case.

We just delivered
the lamb to the lion.

You charged Wyatt Landon
with attempted kidnapping
and felony murder.

I guess you concede
that Michelle was in danger

and that my client
saved her life.

Can a plea offer
be far behind?

If Patrick can help us
make our case.

Testify against the Prophet?

He threw you out like garbage.
You don't owe him anything.

We know you have
feelings for Michelle.

If you help us,
you'll get out while
you're still young.

When I got to the park,

Caleb said,
"We won't hurt her.

"They just want her back
in her rightful place."

He said "we"? You're certain?

I'm sure.
To be dragged
back to Boyd Canyon,

for Michelle,
that would have been
worse than death.

Mr. Landon was in Palmyra.
He had no knowledge
of his friends' activities.

How confident are you,
Mr. Landon,

that your friends will
keep lying for you?

Their faith gives them
a strength you can't imagine.

Michelle Landon
abandoned her kids.

No jury will believe
my client crossed the country
to kidnap an unfit mother.

Oh, they will

once I've educated them
about what goes on
in True Path.

Motion to exclude
testimony based on my
client's religious practices.

Hope you have a Plan B.

Mr. Cutter intends
to make this trial
about polygamy.

He knows that will
inflame a New York jury.

Polygamy is the reason
Mr. Landon planned
this kidnapping.

His wife's escape
shamed him before his sect.

He had to bring her back.

Armchair psychology.

He just wants to put
my client's beliefs on trial.

Those beliefs are
evidence of motive.

Those beliefs are protected
under the First Amendment,
Mr. Cutter.

I won't allow this trial
to become a referendum on
a group's religious practices.

The defense motion
is granted.

There'll be
no mention of polygamy
in my courtroom.

That judge did you a favor.

This is a straight-up
kidnap-murder case.

Sounds like
he did you the favor.

He sucked the controversy
right out of this case.

Did he?
It never occurred to me.

Polygamy is a legitimate
issue in this case.

Never mind it's
criminal and abominable.

But that crime was
committed in Arizona.

Far as abominable,

some anthropologists
would argue

that it's monogamy
that's unnatural,

that men are
genetically hard-wired
to seek multiple partners.

Maybe polygamists are just
steering into the skid.

You must be kidding.

I'm pointing out
that it's a hornet's nest.

You don't need
to drag in religion.

Make the case without it.

We're not allowed
to bring up Landon's
religious beliefs.

We can't even talk
about why you ran away.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just
not sleeping well.

I hate being
cooped up
in this hotel.

It's for your safety,
until the trial next month.

Greentree County just
issued an arrest warrant
for Michelle,

for Child Abandonment.

The DA just flew in to
take her into custody.

They're gonna take me
back to Boyd Canyon?

Only to Greentree County.

And they'd have to
send you back here to
testify against Landon.

You don't understand.

The police back home
do whatever Wyatt says.

If you hand me over,
they're never going
to let me go.

Mr. McCalister
has had months
to issue his warrant,

but he waited until
Ms. Landon had been

subpoenaed to testify
against her husband.

This crime was just
brought to my attention

by the father of the
abandoned children,
Mr. Landon.

Your Honor, if you
grant this extradition,

we believe Ms. Landon
will be returned to Mr.
Landon's religious compound.

If she ends up
back in the family home
caring for her children,

that would be
an acceptable remedy.

And we would
never see her again.

That's the real purpose
of this warrant,

to make Ms. Landon
unavailable to testify
against her husband.

Are you alleging
my office is corrupt?

Mr. Landon has six wives
and 27 children.

He has one legal spouse,
and five celestial marriages
with consenting adult women.

Consent? Michelle Landon
fled True Path
in the dead of night

and has been in hiding
ever since.

She would be in danger
if she was returned.

Mr. Cutter, I find
your allegations hard
to take at face value.

Your Honor, we're ready
to present evidence

about conditions inside
Mr. Landon's compound.

The Court ruled
that testimony

regarding my client's
religious practices
is prejudicial.

Before a jury.
There's no jury here.

Mr. Landon's practices
go to the heart of our motion
to quash this warrant.

I agree.
I'll hear your witnesses
before I rule on the motion.

You're doing exactly what
Jack told you not to,

putting polygamy on trial.

You bet. Any objections?

Nope,
none that I can think of.

The day I turned 16
my mother woke me up
in the middle of the night.

She said the Prophet
had a revelation that
I was to marry him.

And I had to get up
and help make
my wedding dress.

In the middle of the night?

The wedding was that day.

They don't give you
much time to run.

Did you want to run?

I wanted to
stay with my family
and go to school.

I was 16-years-old.
He was over 50.

I'd never even
kissed a boy.

Why didn't you try to leave?

I was scared.

Some girls had escaped.

Wyatt said that they
were all prostitutes now.

And what was your
life like being married
to Mr. Landon?

It was hard until I made
my peace that, you know,

there was no way out.

The first time

he tried to have
sex with me...

Take your time.

He got on top of me

and I pushed away from him
and ran into the bathroom.

I couldn't breathe.

And what do you mean
when you say
you made your peace?

Life stops hurting as much

when you give up thinking
it could be different.

You just sort of
stare at the ceiling

and try to think
of something else.

Do you love your children?

Oh, my God, yes.

When you fled your abuse
you left your boys behind.
How did you justify that?

I knew my sister-wives
would take good care of them
until I could get them away.

Now Mr. McCalister
here says that

if you go back with him,
you'll be safe,

that he won't send you
back to True Path.

No one says no to Wyatt.

If you send me away,
you'll never see me again.

They're watching me
all the time.

And Wyatt...

God only knows
what he'll make me do
in his bedroom.

The danger
you face in True Path
is an unhappy marriage.

Is that correct?

It's more than that.
I didn't want to marry him.

It's like rape.

I see.

A community
that condones rape.

This would be
a community of people

with extremely poor
judgment, right?

I think so.

You left your children
in the care of rapists.

I never would have left them
if they were girls.

With boys it was okay?

Objection.
I'm going to get them back.

I want to be a good mother.

That's all
Greentree County is asking,
that you be a good mother.

Thank you.

I filed this complaint
against Michelle because
her children need her.

Little Eric cries for you
every night, Michelle.

Objection.

Don't address anyone
in the gallery, Mr. Landon.

What about her
fears of retribution?

She left in
a moment of weakness.
She'll be forgiven.

She says her marriage
was forced upon her,

that you in effect raped her?

That's a lie.
A lie to justify her
abandonment of our boys.

On our wedding night,
she hid because she thought

she wasn't good enough
to be the Prophet's wife.

Michelle was 16 when
you married her, correct?

Yes. She was younger
than my other wives,

but, uh, Michelle
was emotionally mature.

You're saying you don't
have a predilection
for young girls?

No. My wives just have
to be healthy enough
to bear children.

Bearing children
is God's plan, correct?

Yes.
So if and when

Michelle returns
to True Path,

she'll be expected
to bear you more children?

She will be expected to live
according to God's plan.

And if she refuses,
one way or the other,

you'll find a way to
impregnate her, correct?

Objection.

Withdrawn.

You banished
Patrick Friendly from
True Path three years ago.

Because he violated
our rules.

He was a 17-year-old boy

who smiled at the
16-year-old girl
you had designs on.

I had a revelation.

To have sex with
a 16-year-old girl?

Our prisons are filled
with men who've had
such revelations.

Objection.
Sustained.

Anything else,
Mr. Cutter?

I'm done with this witness.

If Michelle Landon
is extradited to
Greentree County,

she'll face
an impossible choice.

Prosecution for
child abandonment,

or a return to
a polygamist compound

and in this court's opinion,
forced sex
and forced breeding.

Either choice
violates human rights and
the laws of New York State.

I also have serious doubts
that Greentree County

would make Ms. Landon
available to testify
at her husband's trial.

The arrest warrant
from Greentree County
is quashed.

We won. You can stay.

What's wrong?

I'm happy.

It's just my stomach.

You were sick
the other night, too.

It's not your nerves, is it?

I'm sorry.

I just told Patrick yesterday.

If Landon really has
a gift for prophesy,

he'll have his lawyer
call me for a deal.

You won a motion.
The trial is another matter.

Michelle is pregnant
by Patrick Friendly.

Landon's lawyer
will use it to impugn
Michelle's credibility,

that she lied to help
the father of her child.

Mr. Cutter?
Yeah?

Thanks.

Bad news travels fast.

Landon's demanding
an ultrasound to determine
the age of Michelle's fetus.

From bad news to worse.

My client last had relations
with his wife weeks before
she left the compound.

If the ultrasound
shows the fetus is
older than two months,

it's his baby,
not Patrick Friendly's.

It's unthinkable to
force a pregnant woman

to undergo a medical
procedure of this kind...

I have a right to know
if that's my child.

Ultrasound is safe.

And the results may have
a material impact

on the credibility of
witnesses in this trial.

It's an invasion
of her privacy.

I agree with Mr. Godwin.
There's no downside
to the test.

I'm ordering Ms. Landon
to have it.

The doctor just told us.

I'm so sorry.

I really wanted it
to be Patrick's baby.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to go home
to have the baby.

Home?

To True Path.

I want to raise
all my kids together.

Michelle,
if Wyatt's convicted,

you'll get custody
of your other children.

And raise three kids,
with no home,

no money, no father?

Michelle,
what are you saying?

I can't help you
put Wyatt in jail.
I need him.

Maybe this is God's plan.

I'm sorry
I let you down.

Let us down?

What about the other
young girls in True Path

who'll be married off
like you. You think...

Mike. Don't.

Maybe it won't be so bad.

Maybe it is my place.

I'm sure
she's done the math.

Landon is
the devil she knows.

He'll annihilate her.

She's doing this
for her kids.

We can't let her.

Yes, we can.

This may be the
last decision she makes
of her own free will

and we'll honor it.

We have
Caleb Friendly's murderer.

Dismiss the charges
against Wyatt Landon
and his co-defendants.

It's over.

Pursuant to the People's
request the charges against

Wyatt Landon, Levi Ingle
and Henry Winters are
hereby dismissed.

We're adjourned.

Michelle.

Let's go.

We're leaving.
