For at least the 5th time since
the shooting 4 days ago,
a family spokesperson came forward
to reassure the good people of Utah
that all is well with
the striken patriarch.
After a third surgery
on the 78 year-old polygamist
came a statement from the hospital
suggesting perhaps, not so fast.
but on our number 3 story
in the countdown, wait there's more.
At the news conference, 2 hours before
the attorney general filed
trustee ship papers
in the Orlean Abbott matter,
yet another wife came forward.
- This is an opportunity...
- Look, it's grandma!
to come together
for a good man.
Our prophet was struck 3 times
point-blank.
Somebody wanted him dead.
Someone ever greater
wants him alive.
- He is that...
- He just had a surgery again.
No one will talk to me,
they won't put me through...
They won't even acknowledge
our flowers!
One Rhonda Volmer
also came forward,
professing love for
the following patriarch,
this a week after she had filed
an abuse petition against same.
I know he's suffering.
Your father's strong,
he will make it.
No matter what happens,
he'll be okay.
I promise I'll make us all safe.
Thanks.
There's a company I wanna buy
that could protect us.
The thing is... it involves gambling.
If you say we need it... I trust you.
I'm worried Barb won't be quite
as understanding.
So I'm really gonna need your help
with her.
You want me to work on Margie too?
See if you could.
Hollis and Selma Greene were, quote:
"somewhere in Mexico".
Meanwhile, the hapless duo
held over for questionning
entered day 3
of their hungerstrike.
And a a shout-out here
to Squeaky Fromme.
- Sue, come in here!
- What's going on?
I told Peg about Weber Gaming.
She went ballistic.
- She can't talk to Barb!
- I told her that.
You can't tell them head on.
You gotta create an atmosphere for acceptance.
This has better be an emergency.
Do you know they found out that
holding anger causes cancer?
This is more than anger.
You recklessly revealed my
business plans to Frank!
Sold me down the river for your
own self-interest.
Oh, don't hand me your pity parade.
Your father duped me too.
- He cleaned me out.
- I'm sorry you're feeling guilty.
Roman has been shot.
The compound is in peril.
A time like this,
it's too big for us not to talk!
No, it's not.
Don't try and contact me again.
Poor Nicky.
I can't help but feeling
guilty about being here.
I know, but life has to go on.
Margie started her morning sickness.
I thought it'd do you good
to get out.
Poor Roman.
It's terrible.
I wanted to get your advice
on something.
I'm interested in this new company.
It's in the entertainment field.
Entertainment?
Yeah, it's like distributing
video games.
Oh, Bill,
those games are so violent!
No, it's not like that, honey.
It's more like cards.
Poker.
Poker?
Video machines.
People love 'em.
If you think it's right,
I can't wait for all the details.
What do Nicky and Margie think?
Well, I came to you first,
of course.
I'm here.
Syd is here. Adaleen's here.
Albie's wife Laura
is in the hall.
You had surgery, honey.
You have a fever and infections.
Honey, no,
don't crunch like that!
Oh my God, he's bleeding!
Doctor! Nurse! He's bleeding!
- Hurry!
- Let me take a look.
He's tachychardic.
Let's call the O.R.,
have them prep a room, S.T.A.T."Want the ***
Don't sing that song!
Please, don't sing that song!
Where's Alby?
Where is my son?
- Parking.
- I need him.
It's alright.
- What's happening?
- He's bleeding like a samping slung,
a fever of a hundred and six,
do something Albert, do something.
"And I'll give you
all my spankees"
What?
When?
So, Gentlemen,
I've called this meeting
to discuss the appointment
of an interim trustee to act in...
Roman's stead.
- An outsider?
- Someone...
independant, avoids the appearance
of politicking. Professional men.
C.P.A.'s, who do this for a living.
Honest and confidential.
- Vested with what authority?
- Complete authority.
To fill the shoes of chairman,
subject to board oversight.
The U.E.B. portfolio requires
constant review.
There's too much loose money floating
around unaccounted for.
Incoming ties need prompt investment.
And a failure to act makes
each of us liable
for a wasting of corporate assets.
None of you should be here.
This meeting has no bearing
- without my father present.
- This is a closed session, Alby.
- You are trying to push us out.
- The U.E.B. is a coorporation.
Not a Grant family domaine.
You were pushing our profit
into our cold grave
- before he's even dead.
- You're not on this board,
so you should leave.
He's watching you all!
Let's keep our heads and hold fast
what's best for the U.E.B.
We're more than a coorporation.
We're a religion.
Hi!
I brought you an egg sandwich.
Any news?
He's in intensive care.
Oh, I feel terrible for you.
But I wanna share something
with you.
Bill told me this
morning he's thinking of
some half-cocked
new business venture and...
I just don't feel that
we're really ready for it.
Well, if it makes us more money,
why not.
Well, when you hear the details...
you probably won't feel that way.
Barb!
I don't mind that it's gambling
if that's the big thing.
How did you know
that it was gambling?
Bill told me.
- When?
- I don't remember,
yesterday, or the day before.
You're not always the first
to know, Barb.
I would never
assume that I was.
My father always said there's no sin
in taking money from sinners.
Nothing wrong with that, right?
- Hey Benny.
- Hey.
I'm taking off household shopping
for Nicky for the duration.
Where're air filters?
The far wall behind plumbing.
- How're we doing, Ben?
- We're good.
Margie?
Greg!
- How are you?
- It's been like...
... Forever!
- So you look great!
- Thanks, so do you!
- I thought you left.
- I dit no longer after you quit,
but then came back to the old store,
transferred here a couple of weeks ago.
- Floor supervisor.
- Wow!
- You're married?
- Yes!
I... was married two years ago.
He died... not long ago.
Well,
congratulations and sorry.
I still have that blue sweater
you know.
You know I really have to go,
but it was so good to see you.
Bye Benny.
Hey! Margie?
- Didleedoo.
- Didleedoo, Greg.
How do you know Margie?
She used to baby-sit
me and my sisters.
She ever give you a spanking?
Everyone in shipping
was after, but I got her.
The best piece of *** I've ever had.
Really had something special.
She's worth a second try.
Ben?!
Ben!
Margie.
What are you doing here?
I was shopping for Nicky.
Did you get a chance to think about
that company I told you about?
Not really.
- Well, has Nicky spoken to you about it?
- No.
- Barb?
- No why?
Margie. Some people say...
- gambling is bad but...
- Well, gambling is bad.
My aunt blew her whole pension
and lost her house.
... but, most people say it's
just another form of entertainement.
- So it's okay now?
- No.
I just wanna be clear that
the company I'm interested in
isn't actually in gambling
It just makes the machines.
So, are you saying
I should like it or not?
You have your mind of your own,
I'd never take that away from you.
Bill, just tell me why you want me
to think about it.
Well...
Nicky liked it and that
made me real happy.
Okay. It's fine by me. If it's what we want
then it makes me happy.
- Margie.
- Mmm?
Thank you for shopping at Home Plus.
I'm here to see my mother.
SG2, SG2 to Wolfpack.
This is Wolfpack, go ahead SG2.
I've got baby-bird 27 asking permission
to see mama-bird at the nest.
Copy that. Please hold.
Yeah SG2, that's 30 minutes
for baby-bird 27.
Roger that.
What on God's green earth
are you doing here?
Hi mama!
I brought you this
freezer for the side porch.
I bet you're swamped
with casseroles.
Please put it back on the truck
from whence it came.
I don't have time for this, I'm just
here for quick change of clothes.
Mama, I know this is a difficult time
for all of us.
For pity's sake, Nicolette.
This is not time to force a reunion
down our throats.
Your father almost bled out.
- We're exhausted.
- It's energy efficient.
This is tragedy you're trying
to turn to your advantage!
That is not true!
I wanna help you!
- I want you to let me support you.
- I don't want support!
Your father has a fever of a 106,
he has I.C.U. psychosis
and systemic infection
and all you can think about
is yourself?
- I'm leaving it anyway.
- I don't want it. Do you hear me?
Please!
I have no one to grieve with!
Well then,
let me see my sisters!
- I'm still gonna leave the freezer!
- Stop it! Go!
I can't bear to be around you.
You bring me nothing but heartache!
What are you doing?!
Oh! I can't believe you.
Hi gram. My direction's okay?
Yes.
Come in.
I'm sorry for tracking you down
and imposing myself on you but...
I... I don't know that
I have much time left and...
I wanted to...
I wanted you to have this.
It's made in America
- and has good pockets.
- What are you talking about?
There's anarchy at the compound,
- complete mayhem.
- Tell daddy.
He isn't speaking to me.
- Why not?
- I don't know!
Your grandfather
did something horrible,
said something, or...
no one is making it clear to me.
But... your father blames me.
That's not right!
Gram...
- Hello.
- How was your run?
- Who are you?
- Uhm... gram, this is Scott.
He is my friend,
and this is his appartment.
My dad cut off my grandma.
This is all I have left
to give you.
Frank run off for everything I had.
All my money.
Just cleaned me out.
I'm a victim too.
- Is that your husband?
- Yes.
I mean you're entitled to support.
What do you mean... support?
I mean, you can sue him
for his assets.
Utah is a community property state.
I mean your own a piece
of everything he's got.
Do you want me to talk to dad
for you?
I'm going to...
I mean this isn't right.
Oh... yes.
If you wanted to put in your word
for your own nanna...
I suppose that wouldn't hurt.
Greg's your supervisor, Ben!
We're lucky that he's not more
than just a little ticked off.
- What happened?
- What did he say?
Nothing.
But it's no secret,
you're my son.
I was talking to Margene.
Greg came over
and start to talking too.
I guess they know each other
from the Murrey store.
After she left,
Gred said some things about Margene...
I tought were
disrespectful.
What about Margene?
He was bragging about...
having dated her.
- It's okay Ben, I know they dated.
- You do?
Son, you don't have to protect me.
Margene was an adult with a life of her
own before she came in the family.
You need to go apologize to Greg.
- You wanna know exactly what he said?
- No.
No.
We ask our wives to handle
their jealousies every day.
The least we can do is...
return the favor.
Go... apologize.
I will.
You say it isn't gambling,
then what is it exactly?
Distribute video gaming machine in...
Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado,
Idaho and Nevada.
- Nevada?
- No! Not just!
The mormons in Las Vegas go
hand in hand way, way back.
- No no no, don't change the subject.
- Will you let him talk, Barb?
I'm sorry Nicky, you're right.
Maybe I'm just being a little defensive
being the last one to know and all.
No, that would be me.
No, not this time sweety,
you knew before me.
Is that true, Bill?
Barb, in this time of distress
and upheaval,
I would think you'd happy that Bill
would consider my feelings first.
Or you're too busy mourning
my father's failing health?
- What does that mean?
- I saw your clubs.
Which stage of grief does
golf come under?
You went golfing? Barb!
We all feel terrible Nicky,
I assure you.
Margie,
would you please stop that?
She can't help it Nicky.
When exactly were you thinking
of getting this company?
Soon.
- Aha?
- It's just... on my list.
You've already got it, don't you?
- Yes.
- You got it without even telling us.
Yes, Margene, he's become quite
the caveman, hasn't he?
There wasn't time to fill you in,
I had to move fast.
Nice Bill! Acting like
my opinion meant anything!
Would you two just relax?
It's my prerogative to make
decisions affecting
my ability to provide
for this family.
- If Bill says we need this, that's that!
- Remember Bill,
there is a patriarch above you.
He's called the heavenly father
and I don't think he looks too
kindly on you
puting your wifes and family in bed
with gangsters, guns and gambling.
Look. Hold your fire, okay?
Tomorrow night, just give me that.
We'll all go see it together.
Sad news from the national zoo today
as the loved local, Sum Zung, the panda
died at the old age of 23.
Sum Zung had been in captivity...
Honestly.
Who cares if a panda dies in a zoo?
- What you do with my freezer?
- Huh?
The freezer in my garage Nicky,
what you did do with it?
I borrowed it.
Teenie said she saw you loading into
a pickup truck and driving off with it.
Well, I loaned it to my mother.
- You didn't ask.
- Why should I ask?
It came into this family
before you did.
- I had 50 lbs of hamburger in there, Nicky.
- It was old.
And your mom isn't even speaking to you.
Would you please go into the other room
if you're gonna keep that up?
I'm pregnant.
Your making it impossible
for me to grieve.
All you're doing is puking
all the time.
My father was gunned down
and my mother needed a freezer.
You have to understand there is nothing
I wouldn't do to be part of my family.
Nothing!
In this experiment the genetically
modified rat. Shun Fu is well...
You'll notice that the rat without
genetic mutation has a ferocious appetite...
Hello?
Hello, Barbara.
Since Bill refuses to speak to me
I thought I would alert you
to something...
- potentially troubling.
- What do you want Lois?
Someone ought to speak to Sarah
about the company
I've seen her keeping. She is...
skating out on to some
very thin ice.
If you have something to say about
Sarah, you can be specific.
Far be it for me too
intrude into a family
I have been ridden out of...
Excuse me, Lois,
- It is just a ploy?
- For your information,
her boyfriend is old enough
to have a third wife!
And if he hadn't gone and slung her
a calf already, he is about to.
Bill feels that he's respectful
and mature.
Does he?
Well, then I guess I just don't know
what I walked in on.
What did you walk in on?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
My son has my number.
Mother? What are you
doing here in the dark?
It's all screwed up.
Check accounts, personnal stashes,
money markets.
Your father would allocate it
and give me the deposit slip.
Now... I don't know what to do.
Honey, please leave us.
I can take care of this, mother.
We are vulnerable to our enemies.
I believe in my heart
that Juniper Creek should
be lead by our family.
I pray and pray for your
father's recovery.
Still I need someone to assist him
in this hour of his need.
Someone who can speak for him?
Someone who can deliver his messages?
A conduit for his revelations?
Sarah?
Hi!
So,
your father told me Scott was...
forthright and... mature.
He is.
How mature? In years.
28.
Is he divorced?
No, mom.
- Never been married, 28.
- Right.
- Can I go now?
- Yeah.
Was he brought up in a church?
Yes, he was.
That's nice.
He is a temple recommend?
Mom, we met at an ex-mormons
support group meeting.
Ex-mormon?
I heard about it, I checked it out,
it wasn't for me.
- You wanna be an ex-mormon?
- I was just questioning things.
Well, I know there's been some
moral ambiguity in the houses,
And there's been some
compound influence.
I don't see how
we're all that different
than the compound anyway.
- You're asked to do the same thing.
- Which is?
Settle for less than you deserve.
Are you having pre-marital sex?
Just because Ben has overactive hormones
doesn't mean we can't control ourselves.
And mormons don't have
a monopoly on morality, mom.
- Hello.
- Hey Bill, it's Joey.
I thought I should give you
the news.
What news?
Mom was arrested.
She broke into dad's house and
dislocated Nita's shoulder and
locked her and the other wives
in that panel room downstairs.
And then she ransacked all dad's
- records and papers.
- Crazy old woman!
- Has she lost her mind?
- Well, the cops came
and took her in, and booked her,
and held her
and then released her
on her own recognizance, so...
I'm coming up
for U.E.B. meeting tomorrow.
I'll check in with the cops.
She is her own worst enemy.
- She needs tough love Joey.
- Who's in this trustee thing?
- How did you hear about that?
- Everyone's talking about it.
I got a good half of the board
signed on already.
Why are you taking such a strong interest
in doing right by the U.E.B.?
I just wanna make sure
all you guys are protected.
You didn't have anything to do
with Roman's shooting, did you?
I know you were talking
to the Greenes.
The Greenes are trouble.
This has nothing to do with me!
Talk to you later.
- Hello, Wayne.
- Hi.
I wanted to apologize for last night,
about the golfing.
I want you to know
I hurt for you Nicky, I do.
And I'm sorry,
that your father suffers.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But... I feel that
your father treats you shabily.
And the way that your mother
treats you is a disgrace.
You deserve better!
You deserve more!
Something I need to
say about last night too.
You are pushing Bill too much, Barb.
The man is the head of the house.
We should lift him up,
not try to control him.
I appreciate that, Nicki,
but we're not supposed to roll over.
The men on Mount Rushmore
are patriarchs.
I want Bill to be godly.
I've read articles about men having
operations to enlarge their ***,
so their *** can produce milk
and they can nurse.
Is that what you want?
No.
I know how to submit,
and that's why I'm happy.
Fine.
But I don't feel that this gambling
thing is anything we should embrace.
I really don't.
And we should have a say,
and what we say collectively
as wives should matter.
If we don't want it,
then it won't happen.
- So you're for it, right?
- I am.
And you should be too.
Barb's never gonna change her mind,
is she?
Doubt it.
So if I say yes, then it's a yes.
- And if I say no...
- Don't you go getting carried away.
Come on, let's go see
how the other half lives.
3 cups of coffee please.
We don't drink coffee!
90 $.
And we certainly wouldn't pay 30$
a cup if we did.
It's not really for coffee.
It's just a way to get credit
so we can play the games.
- What kind of games?
- All kinds of games.
- I-46!
- There's bingo, there's poker...
all sorts of great videogames.
- I-17.
- This is a casino! This is illegal!
It's not a casino, honey,
it's a gaming center.
Come on, Barb, it looks like fun!
I will make up my own mind, Nicky.
- Bingo!
- We have a bingo!
Aren't these machines fantastic?
- I don't know how to do it.
- I'll show you.
Hold the pair.
What does that mean?
Oh my...!
What?
She's taking her clothes off!
Margene, make her do it again.
It's poker!
We'll get rid of it
if it's one of ours.
She looks all right to me,
Margie.
Let's take a look
at one over here.
O-64.
B-9.
I-16.
Can you watch my cards?
I've gotta go to the bathroom.
O-62.
N-43.
B-15.
It's fun, huh?
Not so sure, Bill.
Not so sure.
Bill, Honestly,
this place is cheasy,
let's just save the evening
and go get an ice-cream...
Honey, it's just good clean fun.
All American.
I-21.
Bingo!
We have a bingo!
It's an insurance policy
in an uncertain time.
In an industry where people won't judge us
for living the principle.
What kind of statement is that?
Then why don't we just start
selling crack ***, Bill?
It's a chance for us to start
living out in the open.
So you said.
Barb, you saw those people.
They would have no room to judge us
if we were ever exposed.
Very good point, Nicky,
very good point.
How do you really feel
about it, Margie?
I don't know.
What about Home Plus?
What about the third store?
It's been put on hold.
Bill, I don't care
if you own that company or not,
if you can't get your wives behind you,
you're giving it up.
We will have a vote on this.
Family home evening, tomorrow night.
Everybody gets off the fence.
That's it.
So, how's everyone feeling today?
- Just fine!
- Alright!
That's the way I wanna start the show.
Everybody's just fine,
so how about my beautiful guest
over here?
Rhonda Volmer,
how are you today, young lady?
- I'm... Just fine.
- That's what I love to hear.
I'm gonna just jump
right in here and ask...
How did you become Roman Grant's
child-bride?
Roman picked me right away
from the joybook.
The joybook?
- The happy book.
- What is that?
It's a book that the girls that are
ready to live the principle are put in.
Old Roman gets first dibs and he
picked me right off. God told him to.
- Wayne, where are you, buddy?!
- Put me down, daddy.
So, where you able to...
- Where's Wayne?
- I'm right here, Dad.
- Who's seen Wayne?
- I'm right here!
I hear you, honey,
but I don't see you!
Here you go, buddy.
Eat your breakfast.
I have to go to Juniper Creek
on that trustee business.
I just hope that doesn't inflame
tensions, Bill.
Honey, it's a mess up there.
Cash floating around
unaccounted for,
tens of thousands in ties,
just laying around that office.
And I don't trust Alby with it.
He's greedy, selfish, only looks out
for his own interests.
He's nothing like Papa!
I can't even go up there!
- I'll take care of it.
- Here I am,
kicked out and banished,
while he's there, it's not fair!
It's just not fair, and Mama
never sees his faults!
Say, I'll put in a good word
with your mother.
You're still with me, right?
What about Margene? Her vote?
Don't worry, Margie and I...
see eye-to-eye on almost everything.
I know how to talk to her.
I'll see you guys tonight!
- Bye dad!
- Bye buddy!
We were told everyone besides us
was going to hell.
- I still believe it.
- Are you ready to...
start dating,
or is it too soon?
It's too soon.
Sorry, I was over in...
paints.
So, lighting strikes twice,
that's something. Lucky me.
I need to return these,
I got the wrong size.
- Yeah?
- Mm-mm.
No problem.
Uh, we'll do anything
the cudtomer asks, Marge
I think it's really disrespectful
that you flirt with guys in my dad's store.
- What?
- I saw.
With Greg!
I wasn't flirting with Greg.
Dad doesn't want you to shop
in the store anymore.
- He didn't tell me that.
- How can he?!
Give him a break, Margie.
It's super humiliating.
Hey, if being a priesthood holder
means you can talk to me
in a disrespectful tone, forget it!
How do you think dad feels knowing
you slept with guys who work for him?
It was a long time ago
and frankly none of your business.
Someone has to watch out for him!
Your father knows
that I've dated men before him
and he's fine with it.
Are you, Ben?
Well, he's not fine knowing
that you were also into spanking them!
- Hey!
- That you're a big spanker!
I'm so angry. So...
- Just angry!
- Why?
Bill says I can't shop in the store.
Why?
Because I dated someone from there.
Well... this is what I mean
about patriarchy.
- This is exactly it.
- And how?
Bill... trying to ram
this new business down our throats.
Even if the gambling business
were a good thing,
- he has no right to force it on us.
- It isn't right.
Taking us for granted!
It's not the kind of existence
that we want for our family.
- Don't forget the children.
- Uh-huh, Barb, uh-huh.
We have to put our own needs aside and
really square it away for the children.
What's best for them.
Think about it long and hard.
You have a big choice, Margie.
I know you'll make the right one.
I'm doing this for their on good,
whether they like it or not.
Marriage is not a democracy.
All the energy we have to spend
letting them think they have a say
could light up Las Vegas for a month.
You say this is a step forward.
I see it as a step back.
Back to living in the margins,
shadowy businesses.
That's how I grew up.
Check cashing, pawn shops, bail bonds.
She'll get there.
I don't know why I agreed
to a vote in the first place.
You love them, you wanna be nice to them.
You're not doing anyone a favor!
If everyone's against us,
are we gonna give it up?
We're gonna do exactly as I say.
- Yes?
- Please don't hang up.
What do you want?
Tell me if papa's okay.
No one knows
if he'll live or die.
Or whether he'll survive
your husband's attemps to usurp him.
Bill is only acting
in the interest of the U.E.B., Alby.
He said corporate decisions
haven't been made.
Ties deposited. I don't know.
Well, I'm gonna take care of it.
He won't have to worry much longer.
What are you gonna do?
That's not for you to know.
It might be...
for you to tell me.
I could be of help.
An extra set of eyes.
The eyes of the world are upon us,
all the networks and shows.
CNN, 60 Minutes.
- Larry King wants to interview us.
- We're like the Kennedys.
I'm gonna be called upon
to serve the greater good
at a testimony meeting
at 2 o'clock.
2 o'clock?
I can count on your support?
- And everyone will be there?
- Umm.
Hey! I thought you were gonna
be at that meeting!
It's been cancelled!
Something's going on.
Did you hear anything about
a testimony meeting at 2?
Uh, just that, that they called
a meeting this morning.
They put any news on Roman?
No, nothing since yesterday,
I don't think.
So, are you gonna invite me in?
Yeah, sure.
You guys
putting some stuff in storage?
It's Kathy's.
She moved in yesterday.
In what way?
Well, Wanda and I
are interested in her.
Does this mean you received
a testimony?
No, Bill.
I don't know.
How did you know about Nicky?
I mean, how could you separate your
real feelings for her as opposed to
your gratitude for someone who was
taking care of the wife you loved?
- Well, it's hard, Joey.
- I'm just very fond of her,
and Wanda is too.
I think Kathy'd be good for her.
I'm not sure shaking up
is the way to go here Joey.
Well, I'm not ready to commit
to a second wife just yet.
And this our chance to try it out.
How do you...
commit to something like that
without knowing
if it even has a chance
of working out, Bill?
Well, if it's prescribed by
the Holy Spirit...
I understand that part of it,
I do.
But I'm just trying to be practical,
not celestial.
And I only have one roof.
We can't all retreat to neutral houses
if it doesn't work out.
After this,
we can toss the ball around.
Both my husband and I
went to The U as well.
It's a source of great pride to see
how well the teen's been doing.
Mrs. Henrisckson,
I agreed to meet with you
- because you said this was about Heather.
- Yes.
I would like your permission
to allow Heather to see Sarah again.
I think that Heather has been
a tremendous influence on Sarah.
One that Sarah could use.
And one that I want in Sarah's life.
My daughter's feelings about your
lifestyle is the same as mine.
- And they're not gonna change.
- I know.
I just want what we all
want for our daughters...
to marry a strong priesthood holder.
My husband would be upset if he knew
I wanted her to go to a L.D.S. church,
but I want that for her too.
I'll have to discuss it with
my wife first.
What is the matter with you?
Terrorising your sister-wives, locking
them in a closet to ransack the place?
What, so you could get arrested
at Frank's for breaking in...
Did you know your father was a partner
in Witty Constructions?
Listen to me!
That he owned
a janitorial supply company?
- Dad?
- A Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet?
- No way!
The years I spent
in so-called poverty!
Me, on food stamps!
I just bet you didn't know.
I didn't!
Well, I don't believe you.
I bet the two of you rats
were in cahoots.
I found something else
in your father's papers.
6500$ from you to him,
for services rendered:
Marrying Lois.
- You paid him to marry me!
- It's what you wanted!
Duped, sold and delivered
into the arms of that...
- rotten man!
- You think I wanted you to marry him?
What do you think was in it for me?
I'm getting a divorce.
- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am.
- I paid good money for that marriage.
- Tough luck.
- You said you wanted protection!
- I did.
But this legal marriage
is a big racket.
You don't even know
what divorce entails.
Oh, yes I do!
I got a buck,
with forms to fill out.
Listen to me, you're acting crazy.
You're acting completely irrational!
You think I'm just a stupid old woman,
and you hate me.
Jared and Josiah together,
smoked the lord.
Roman and Romulus
in a time of restoration.
Albert Grant will act as interceder
for the one mighty and strong.
During, before or after?
During and after.
- What did I say?
- During and after.
This is true.
By my own testimony, earlier today,
I saw his face.
One moment it was my son,
and then it turned into
the prophet.
And then into the face
of Joseph Smith himself!
Is there a witness?
I,
Martin Faires,
witness of said testimony.
I'm not mighty, I'm not worthy.
I lead you only because my father
in heaven has asked this of me.
I accept this burden
in the service of you,
my brothers and sisters.
Before we take the vote,
I just want you to understand
what we're talking about here.
With Orlean Abbott's arrest,
Roman's shooting, we...
we don't know what the
future holds.
We need this company.
We need it now.
No.
I don't have faith
that this is for us.
I think the company is corrupt
and it can only have a corrupting
influence on our family.
We're under too much pressure
as it is.
We'll find something else.
Nick'?
Yes.
I don't think this company is
necessarily more corrupting to us than
living with sex and filth on television
and raunchy movies at the mall.
And I'm not concerned
with the value of the outside world.
Someone else will profit from it,
why not us?
Margie?
I agree with Barb,
that this is about
our children.
So I vote for it.
Not for you, Bill.
And it's not for you, Nicky.
It's for our kids.
Barb, you, your kids
are almost grown-up but,
I have Aaron and Lester
and a third baby on the way.
If, for some reason,
Home Plus wasn't there for us,
I don't know what I would do.
So, I need the financial security
that Bill says Weber Gaming
will give us.
For my kids.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize,
Margene.
We're not gonna let this
divide us.
No, of course not.
We'll be fine!
We're in. Barb just...
needs some time.
Don, I'm gonna have to call you
right back.
I just wanna clear
up one thing with you.
I don't know what Ben
may have told you, but Bill,
I dated Greg a long,
long time ago,
and it didn't mean anything,
and I resent you judging me for it.
Margie,
what are you talking about?
You don't want me to shop
at Home Plus anymore?
I never said that.
You didn't?
Margene...
why would I get jealous of something
that happened in the past when,
well, when I have you
for all of eternity?
You need to talk to your son.
By the way, the spanking thing
was Greg's idea,
and I never really even
liked it that much.
Sorry about that, Don.
Listen, another thing.
I think we need to transfer Greg Samuelson
back to the first store.
Well, I don't think he's gelling
personnality wise.
And give him a bump so he doesn't think
he did anything wrong.
Enjoy your dinner.
And not too big a bump.
G-55.
Just roll me, Debby.
