I may not always
love you ?

but as long as there are
stars above you ?

you never need
to doubt it ?

I'll make you
so sure about it ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you ?

if you should ever
leave me ?

well, life would still
go on, believe me ?

the world could show
nothing to me ?

so what good
would living do me? ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you ?

God only knows what
I'd be without you ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you ?

- God only knows what I'd be without you ?
- God only knows ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you ?

- God only knows what I'd be without you ?
- God only knows ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you ?

- God only knows what I'd be without you ?
- God only knows ?

God only knows
what I'd be without you. ?

and
now I bid unto all farewell.

I soon go to rest
in the paradise of God

until my spirit
and body shall reunite

and I am brought forth
triumphant through the air

to meet you for the pleasing
of the great jehovah,

the eternal judge
of both quick and dead.

Amen.

Thank you for everything
you are doing for us, Lois.

You don't have to
thank me.

I want to know
what happened... everything,

no matter how awful,
no matter how horrible.

I don't believe that
she went to that ravine.

I don't believe she accidentally
fell down that ravine.

Shh shh.

Stop talking now.

Respect her silence.

It's dad.

- Hey.
- How is she?

She's okay... now.

But when we stopped
for gas, she started crying

and she wouldn't come
out of the ladies' room.

How's uncle Joey?

Holding up. We're going in to
see the D.A. This afternoon.

Any more word
on your grandfather?

He's still
in Mexico?

- As far as we know.
- Listen:

Take care of her till
I get down

and give some attention
to your aunt Wanda too.

- Yes, sir.
- I'll see you soon.

Bill was going to sell the
houses to get the letter back?

Not sell... mortgage.

The letter connects us
to our true path.

It legitimizes who we are.

But taking out a mortgage
on whose house? My house?

Nicki, this isn't
the time or place.

Why didn't somebody tell me
all this was going on?

Because frankly,
Nicki,

there are other unresolved
issues on the table.

Okay, I'm up
now. What do you want?

You're baking a cake.

Everyone's pitching
in for kathy's funeral.

Oh, I do not want to go.

I'm not going.

Well, that doesn't mean
you can't contribute something.

I can't bake.

You can certainly
follow a recipe.

Honey...

there are certain tricks
to moving on,

to feeling better
about yourself,

and doing thoughtful things for
others is a good place to start.

And I think you
should go tomorrow.

It's important for our
family to be united now.

We need to talk,
you and me.

Are you ready?

Truthfully, not...
not quite.

Tough. We're gonna
have this out.

Why did you take yourself
off the schedule?

I was tired.
I was in a bad mood.

Talk to me, Nicki.

I need to understand
what's going on with you.

Just put me back on,
okay, Bill?

I was tired is all.
It was a mistake.

A mistake? Like you didn't
mean to make any statement.

I'm sorry if I embarrassed
you in front of Barb and marge.

That's not the issue.
If we have problems,

I expect you
to come to me...

not marge,
not Barb... me,

and we will address them
like adults.

I understand.

So we can move
forward then?

I love you, Bill.

What are you doing here?

You have to
stop calling me.

Are you ready to talk
about what happened?

Y-y-you kissed me.

You kissed me.

Either way, I just think
it's important that

we address it
and nip it in the bud.

So you think
it was a mistake.

Of course it was.

Well, you're still involved
with that other guy?

Yes.

Was that
a yes or a no?

No.

So that's what
you came to tell me,

that that
relationship's over?

Yes.

What grounds did the commission
give you for holding up the license?

A formal petition
of objection was filed

- by the western utes.
- The utes?

- What's their beef?
- It's an amicus opposition

based on the environmental impact
of the casino and its water draw.

- Water draw?
- But it's not that.

It's more complicated.

Welcome to the dirty world
of tribal politics.

They don't want
the competition.

Their three casinos
are 200 miles away.

They've got the entire
denver market.

Talk to 'em.
Let's sit down

and... and smoke
a peace pipe.

It's not that easy.

We haven't been good with the utes
since the blackfoot w*r of 1877.

You've got
to be joking.

They're an arrogant
treaty tribe.

Not all of us had it handed
to us on a silver platter.

Some of us had to
fight for our status.

There's some crazy grudge
between Jerry and the utes

and we're getting
caught up in the middle of it.

I am not about to let
our future get hung up

on some 150-year-old
tribal mud fight.

Go to the ute reservation,
talk to chester rabineux.

He's the one who did the deal on
the machines with us last month.

Go. 150 miles...
you can be there in two hours.

L-I've got a deposition...

Vernie and jojo are suing
for sole custody.

Reschedule it. Don, we've got
to get to the bottom of this.

If we can't fix this
Jerry-ute thing,

goodbye, casino;
goodbye, future.

Okay.

You'll need to
clear out the fridge

once we add
the miracle whip

so it doesn't spoil
overnight.

Why don't you put on
some music?

No harm in lightening
things up a little bit.

Hmm?
We're not dead...

not yet.

What are you thinking
about, honey?

Nothing.

It's those darn birds... their
dander makes my eyes water.

Wanda?

This music is the problem!
It's this stupid Mexican music.

Oh. Oh, honey.

No, don't touch me!

I wished kathy dead!

I prayed for her
to die for a long time.

Ahem. Wanda,

if I had a dollar for every time
I wished someone I loved dead,

I'd be the richest
woman in the world.

And as you know,

sometimes I've even
acted on it.

And I know I shouldn't
be proud of that.

But... I am.

Oh, the concussions
I gave my sister-wives.

Mmm. That's how
it is with us.

The principle
brings up our jealousy

for the purposes
of healing.

Now come on,
my wrist is tired.

You gonna make me peel
all these by myself?

What do you want me to do?

Go after him again...
this time for m*rder.

You think I'm not
all over this?

The state's key witness
turns up dead?

But I need evidence.

He's got multiple alibis
that put him 150 miles away

from the ravine where
the body was found.

Yeah, I'll bet he does:
One for each wife.

Ray, you cannot let him
get away with this.

Iosing this case was about the hardest
thing that I've ever had to live with.

And don't think that
my job isn't in jeopardy.

But there is nothing in the
autopsy that speaks to a m*rder...

no sign of a struggle, the body's
injuries were consistent with a fall.

- It was Roman.
- And I would cut off my arm to nail him,

but I need more.

What does it look like if I pursue
this in courlie without the evidence?

Like you're a relentless
hero... like someone who cares.

No, Bill, like a crazed
zealot, like a nutcase, okay?

Roman would look like the
sane one by comparison.

Excuse me.
Yeah?

I'm lost, Bill.

Well, how can you be lost? Don,
it's right off the interstate.

- Did you miss the exit?
- It's just not as simple as you think.

- Well, where are you?
- I don't know.

There's rocks everywhere.
Rocks just look like rocks.

There's huge billboards
for the reservation

every 10 miles or so
before the exit

for cigarettes, fireworks
and the casinos.

I'm telling you:
All I see are rocks.

So just hit a gas station
and ask them for the directions

and call me
when you get there.

Bill, do you have any real
evidence that Roman did this?

We told you: His wife Adaleen
explicitly delivered a thr*at.

I've got my boss ready
to have my head.

Voters are on the warpath. This is
not a casual interest for me, Bill.

There's something...

I've kept from you...

I know Roman.

I know him in my bones
and I know that he did it.

He's my father-in-law.

You've got to be joking.

I married his
daughter Nicki...

Nicolette Grant.

So this isn't just a casual
interest for me either.

Tell me everything.

Tell me and we
can fight back.

No, she can't hear.
Her batteries are low.

Did you k*ll
kathy marquart?

No.

Did you have a hand
in it in any way?

What did you do?

As long as I had
brought back the Greenes

to destabilize Alby
on the compound,

I decided to seal
the girl to Hollis

and send her away
to Mexico.

She balked

and ran and had
an accident.

And that's it?

- Yes?
- Nothing!

I might have
bumped her car.

All right, so who else
knows about this?

Hollis and selma.

Iook, I've got to get
back to the compound.

I'm helpless here...
helpless!

- What? - all the good
works I've nurtured...

my life's work.

We've faced tougher
scrapes than this.

That miserable son Alby
is making hay out of the fact

that I can't be there
to defend my good name.

Take it easy...
I don't bite

what are you doing here?

You're supposed to be
arrested in kansas.

You never heard
of posting bond?

Ever heard of "not supposed to
leave the jurisdiction before trial"?

My wife kelly is
kathy marquart's sister.

We came
to pay respects.

Oh.

Okay.

You seen Nicki around?

No,

not really.

How is she?

She'll be here for the
funeral, wouldn't you think?

You just stay away
from her is how she is.

Did you really try
to poison Frank Harlow

and Alby too?

Maybe.

Mmm, maybe not.

I don't have to tell you.

Oh, come on, Wanda.

You think
she'd see me?

You just go back to the mess
you left in kansas, J.J.,

or go back to canada.

You don't ever tell me
what to do, little sister.

You understand?

Nicki doesn't ever want
to see you again,

and neither does
anybody else.

Mommy's selling
these pretty bracelets.

They're made by the indians,
and mommy's gonna make a fortune

because mommy's
a good salesman... woman.

You have to
believe in yourself.

And that's what
I want to teach you.

There you go, Sarah.

Oh! Great job, Sarah.

Well, I'm glad you asked.

I've got them in five department
stores and two gift shops.

One of the gift shops
is run by a man

who truthfully makes mommy kind
of sick, but business is business

and he's moved
32 bracelets.

Barb.

Hello?

Hi, Barb.
It's don.

Yeah. Bill?

- It's don.
- Thanks.

Yeah, did you
find chester?

I did!

- He's really creepy, Bill.
- In what way?

Well, I think
he was flirting with me!

Oh no, don.

Well, he wanted to know all
sorts of things about me...

private things. I mean, he
wanted to know how many times I...

did you ask him
about the license?

Yeah. Bill,

it's not a Jerry thing,
it's a Ted thing.

You've gotta
be joking. Ted?

Why would your brother-in-law
do this to us, Bill?

He got someone to contact the utes
to put a kibosh on our license.

Then tribal police pulled
me over and said

I could disappear without
anyone being the wiser

because no one had
jurisdiction on the reservation.

And I couldn't tell
if they were joking or not.

And then he winked at me.

- The cop?
- No... chester!

Should I call Jerry and
fill him in on what we know?

No! That's the last thing
we need,

for him to know all about
this mess with Ted.

Iook, I'll handle it. Just
get out of there and come home.

- Ted?
- k*lled our license.

Before the commission
in Washington?

What's happening?

How did we get caught
up on all of this?

It... it's surreal, Bill.

It's insane.

You destroy my future

because I had a desire
to possess a letter

that is a foundational
piece of my religion?

No, because I was
told that you were

stirring up trouble
down at u. Labs...

asking questions at
the authenticator's office.

I told you
to let it go.

Now you're trying to
interfere with my determination

to be of service
to my church.

You mean your ability
to move up

the corporate ladder
of your church.

If you see devotion to
service as self-interest,

I'm sorry for you.
By choosing to do his work,

- we become like him.
- Don't lecture me on piety.

You're suppressing the truth
that embarrasses your church.

I'm sorry. I've got to
hold up your license

till there's reason to believe that
you've climbed back off the ledge

and calmed down.

You'll find I don't respond
very well to the stick.

Save your powder, Bill.

That letter
does not exist.

The indians and
the renegades always lose.

Well, they're beautiful.

Just put them
over here, please.

Who sent them?

Yeah.

"Dear Margene, I can't
stop thinking about you.

With deepening affection,
Ray."

Oh, no. You have to take them.
Take them back right away!

- These aren't for me.
- You're not Margene Heffman?

- You have to take them back. - I
can't do that... you signed for them.

I don't want them. You have to
take them... they must go back!

Thank you.
They must go back. Bye.

So if we find the report

you're sure he's good
for the money?

Yeah, he's from juniper
creek, but he's good for it.

I've heard about
these places.

They experiment
on monkeys down here.

I'll bet there's dead monkeys
all over the place.

Psst!

What did he say
the name was?

Price. Price.

This is it.

Thank you, gentlemen.

That looks like
interesting stuff.

I'll take it
from here.

Don, I just got it...

the authenticator's report
that proves the letter exists.

We are good to go.

I just put it in
my safe and I'm heading home.

And tomorrow,
I'm the hammer.

Have a good night's sleep,
old buddy.

Ted, Cindy... I looked across
and I thought that was you.

Nice to see you,

you old son of a g*n.

Everyone, did you know that
Ted's been buying things...

letters, old documents?

It's so funny. Do you know,
I got a report on one...

it's a letter from 1890 from
church president wilfred woodruff.

That's enough, Bill.

Ted told me all about it
and I didn't believe it.

I said, "no, that...
that can't possibly exist.

That can't possibly
be real."

But he was right...
it is.

It's really funny
because it's...

well, it's kind
of embarrassing.

It confirms that the church never
intended to abolish polygamy.

All right,
that's enough now.

But I guess Ted
said to the church,

"oh, heck, I can help
you out of that jam."

Will you excuse us?

What the heck do you
think you were doing?

Oh, this?
This is nothing.

It's gonna get 10 times
worse than this.

Now I have proof that
the letter exists...

that you bought it and that
you handed it over to the church

all in one fell swoop.

I can embarrass
the church mightily.

Buying up inconvenient
pieces of their history

to bury them
from the light of day

isn't exactly something the church
office of public relations wants known.

You can't win
at this game.

And you'll be the one that
brings that scandal on them.

Oh, they'll walk from you

rather than let you drag
them down, and you know it.

You're gonna back off
and let me be.

And then you're going to get the
church to publicly acknowledge

the existence
of that letter.

Sometimes...

the indians and
the renegades do win.

Hi.

Hi.

Barb, right?

Is Margene home?

I don't think so.

This is her address, right?
I'm her ex-boss, Ray.

We met, remember?

Um, we...

I was just try... trying
to give these to her.

Um, I want to talk
to her for a second.

- Help me out here.
- Hey.

Hey back to you!

Stop talking
to the stranger.

Come on.

Just come inside and wait.

Okay.

You let him in?

How could you be
so reckless?

Nicki, I'm through
with it!

You're going to come over and
deal with this once and for all.

Oh, no, I'm not!
There is not one thing

I could do that won't make it
worse, so you go make him leave!

Bill will be home
any minute.

I never thought I'd have
to beg my very own sister

to stop her husband
from threatening my family.

Your husband used
his influence

to put a hold
on our casino.

Because Bill
threatened Ted.

Because Ted used Bill
to get the letter.

Because there's so much
anti-Mormon bigotry out there,

the last thing we need to do is
stir up the pot about polygamy.

Honestly,

will you listen to us?

Why are
we fighting this out

while our children are playing
so nicely in the other room?

I won't let you make me
feel guilty.

I won't let you
bait me into a fight.

Do you know who
kathy marquart is?

- No.
- You don't watch the news?

No. Is she that woman
who won the big lottery?

Barbie...

Ted and I have
compromised ourselves

for following
our beliefs too.

Tri-west air suffered
when Ted received the calling

to become mission president.

I'll bet that pay cut
hurt a lot.

Well, now we're called back
here for the area presidency

and it wasn't a good time to
sell a house back in San antonio.

We have such dreams
of service for our church.

Please don't take that
from us,

or from our children.

All right, please stop
invoking the children.

I'm sorry if you feel
threatened by our actions

but we're just trying to
defend our self-interests.

Well, your husband behaved like
a complete lunatic this morning,

quite frankly as though
he'd been drinking.

Oh please, Cindy!

I'm sorry

that you can't see beyond
your own self-interest.

I'm sorry that
you can't see fit

to feel compassion
for someone else.

Honey?

We're leaving.
We have to go home now.

10 more minutes?

Now.

I'm from the compound.

- Okay.
- I'm from juniper creek.

- All right.
- You've got to go.

Marge, we can talk about this.
All right? We can work it out.

Come on, we have feelings
for each other.

- Feelings?
- Butt out!

I had to change my name
so I could get the job.

What?

My real name's
not marge.

What is your name?

Tell me.

No.

I'm the real Margene...

and this is Nicki Grant.

Grant?

I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

You're Nicolette.

You're married
to Bill Henrickson.

Or is he the relationship
that you said was over?

Nicki!

Oh, I assume
he's your husband too,

real Margene?

How did you know
I was married to Bill?

- He told me.
- He couldn't have told you.

If the relationship was over,
what do you care?

Or do you care about
anything or anyone?

Ray! Ray!
Please wait.

Hey, mom!

For what,
more lies?

- More deceit?
- Boys, come with me.

Were you working
for your father or for me?

Is that what I'm supposed
to be asking now?

Mom, what's going on?

Just let me explain.
Let me talk.

You pretended to like me
to help your father.

- No!
- Cindy...

Kim Lee, get in the car
right now!

Look who's here...

the ringleader!

Oh, please,
don't say anything.

- No no no, come on.
- Please, don't.

Let's have the courage of
your convictions... let's go!

- Don't do this to me.
- Barb, what's going on here?

- Ray, what are you doing here?
- Well, Bill,

I thought that I was coming by
to bring some flowers to Margene.

- I don't get it.
- Please just go.

You know, Margene who worked so hard
for me during the Roman Grant trial.

Nicki worked for you?

She had... flowers?

Yeah, you know,
because 've been dating.

N-no.

But I just found out

that Margene is actually
Nicki, Roman Grant's daughter,

and Barb is
the real Margene.

And you just happen to
be married to both of them.

- And who are you?
- I'm Barb.

Nicki, tell me
this isn't true.

- Nicki!
- Ray!

I don't know who you
think you're messing with,

- but you got the wrong guy.
- Nicki, come back here now!

- Please.
- Don't say another word.

It will be used against you
in a court of law.

- Ray, we need to talk.
- Are you crazy?

Huh? Is this some kind of
ongoing conspiracy?

- I didn't know about any of this.
- Ha!

Guess what?
I don't believe you.

But if it's true, she's turned
you into a bigger fool than me.

I'm sorry.

Don't say a word,
any of you!

This could be bad, huh?

We just need to get
through this funeral.

I feel like
I'm going to throw up.

Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm
just a terrible person.

Then again, he took
advantage of me.

Does any of this
make any sense?

No, Nicki,
none of it makes sense.

It's that letter...
that's what it is.

It's that ridiculous letter that has
everyone in such a complete uproar.

Sarah?

You were spying,
Nicki.

My mother
forced me to.

Our dear father in heaven,

surrounding this
open grave

we dedicate and consecrate
this spot of earth

as the final resting place
for the body

of katherine
Margaret marquart

in Jesus's name.
Amen.

Amen.

I've got you,
thank heavens.

You have to help me.

Oh! Well, I have to
do no such thing.

That's not fair. I mean, you're
treating me like an adulteress

and you haven't even heard
my side of the story.

Now would that be the
untruthful side of the story...

- once again?
- Why are you being so cruel?

Don't talk to me
about cruelty, Nicki.

You're the one
who's been cruel.

You betrayed us. You betrayed
our trust time and again.

And now your actions
thr*aten to drag us

into a pit of who knows
what's going to happen next.

You ask forgiveness? No.

I don't forgive you.
It's not that easy.

Ray, please don't hang up.

I know you think you know what I
was doing working in your office.

Undermining a breakthrough
criminal prosecution.

I was blackmailed.

Oh, what? By your evil
polygamist father?

They made me
change my identity.

Is this your
criminally-insane mother?

Yes.

Yes, it was.

That's how it started,
but...

then it became
something else.

For the first time in
my life, I liked who I was

and I liked you.

You can't possibly
understand.

Listen to me.

There's conspiracy,
there's witness tampering,

there's obstruction
of justice,

and you want to
know what else?

- Polygamy is
still illegal.

I'll be at the office
tomorrow.

Bill's giving me
some space at home plus.

So if you want,
you could come down

and we could start
setting up the paperwork.

Thanks, ladonna.
No, it's okay.

We're bearing up.
I'll see you then.

What was that?

I was just talking
to my business partner

about plans for
my new jewelry business.

Well, it won't work.

Selling cheap indian jewelry
on the internet?

Sorry.

You know what, Nicki?

Why don't you worry
about your own life

and leave me out of it
for a change?

Margie.

I'm in trouble...
big trouble.

I know that, Nicki.

No, you don't understand.

I may be facing
criminal prosecution.

I could be dragged
across the headlines.

I'd be a freak show.

I'm scared.

You should be scared,
Nicki.

You know?

I mean, you really
should be scared.

Alby?

I've got proof now that you've
been selling out our history.

What history?

Yes, what are you
talking about, Bill?

You know darn well
what I'm talking about...

the mountain meadows document had
nothing to do with mountain meadows.

It was a document that legitimized
polygamy in the I.d.s. Church.

Mmm. No, I didn't. I don't
know what you're talking about.

- Don't be coy with me, Alby.
- All right, Bill.

That letter was like
the magna carta of the church

my grandfather was
the prophet of...

a church that was
true and decent...

before that church became
twisted by men like your father.

How could you have done
what you did, Albert?

How could you?

Honey, you're quite
a phony, aren't you?

Why don't you shut up?

No, darling, you. Albert's
gone to the mat to free us all

from your father and
his abuses while you...

don't ever use
that tone of voice with me.

You married into this family. You're
lucky to be here. Don't forget it.

We should thank everyone
for coming, Joey.

I can't.

Okay.

Everyone.

Everyone,

we want to thank you
for coming.

You all know that
kathy was special.

Everybody loved her.

She was so sweet

and good-natured.

She was like
an angel to us.

Joey?

She took care of us and she
didn't ask anything in return.

I think she was
good for this earth.

I really do.

And we can't
say anything else.

I wanted to say something

because I'm the matriarch
of this family

and I know a little bit
about loss.

Iosing kathy is...

almost too much
for us to bear.

But that's our job.

It's our responsibility
to bear it,

to keep going on.

This kind of sadness

doesn't just
dry up quick.

It can take
a long time to pass.

Time...

finally will bear away
our sadness.

You're not welcome here.
Get out.

I am welcome
wherever my people gather

and need
my ministrations.

I'm asking you
to leave.

In the face of tragedy, the prophet
will not leave his people bereft.

- m*rder*r.
- Joey.

Don't you ever speak
against the prophet!

Shh. The boy is lost in pain.

Come to me, my son, and let me lay
a blessing on your troubled soul.

- m*rder*r!
- Joey.

- Not now. Not here.
- I suffer with you.

- m*rder*r!
- Roman, get out of here!

He k*lled my kathy.
m*rder*r!

Joey, look at me... this is
not the time or the place.

We will make him pay.

We must minister to him
and we must forgive him.

So, father, your welcome
here was quite warm.

Don't ever lay
your hands on me.

You are evil.

Don't think I'm unaware
of the destabilizing actions

you've taken
against me here,

but you won't scare us
off the compound.

Papa, the D.A.
Knows everything.

I could be prosecuted.
What should I do?

F-follow your conscience,
my child.

Mama must come forward,
come clean.

She must tell them everything she
knows and that she put me up to it.

Now what good
would that do?

Papa, I went up
to Bat for you.

What are you
talking about?

Everybody thinks that you're
responsible for kathy's death

and everyone thinks
that I'm on your side.

Don't you ever
imply that I...

you have no idea what
this is costing me.

It's costing me
my marriage.

Our father is showing
his true colors today.

It seems to me

you voted with your hands
in a stairwell

at the courthouse.

He has no love for family
as he protests.

It was that way
in our childhood

and ever will be,
Nicki.

Take heart...

his days are numbered.

God bless you.

- Let me in!
- Joey?

Adaleen, open up!

I can't.
I'm not dressed.

- You open this door. Let me in!
- Go away!

What on earth
are you doing?

Tell me what happened,
Adaleen!

I don't know what
you're talking about. Go!

Not until you tell me
what happened.

I don't know
what happened!

- Gah!
- Oooh!

Please, I don't
know anything.

My deepest sympathies
are with you

but there's nothing
I can do.

Why are you
protecting him?

Because
he's my husband!

I don't know anything
that will help you.

He's my husband.

And that's
your cross to bear.

There'the letter that
Ted bought for the church.

And the hue and cry
that she's raising,

making all kinds
of threats...

bishop devery, I am
desperate to save her,

to offer her
a path of redemption.

Maybe there needs
to be a proceeding.

Sister price,
what is her interest

in this letter?

She believes it will
validate her lifestyle.

She's living
in plural marriage.

Are you coming home
with us?

Do you want me to?

It's your decision.

You seem to be able to make
your own decisions lately

with no help from me.

Gram says she's going to
stay over at Joey and Wanda's

to help
see them through.

Good deal. Why don't you
wait for us in the car?

I told Wanda
I'd stay over too.

She can use the help.

Suit yourself.

What didn't we have that
you could do this to me?

- What did I do wrong?
- You didn't...

no, I only want
to know one thing:

Did you and Ray...

did you act on
your indiscretion?

Nicki, just come on. Get in
the car and let's go home.

Will you make sure
the boys are okay?

What should I tell them?
They'll want to know why.

Tell them it's because
Wanda and Joey need my help.

They were sad
because of the funeral.

They'll understand that.

Is everything going
to be okay?

I don't know.

Is it really that bad?
How can you not know?

I'm just
being honest with you.

Sometimes...

no matter how important
something is,

you just...

really don't know.

What am I gonna do
about my life?

I don't know what
I'm doing anymore.

Life is really tough
for all of us right now.

We're struggling just to make sense
of everything that's happening.

Maybe it's no coincidence

that your sense
of meaning and purpose

was lost when you gave up
on your commitment

to this family.

I'm not perfect.

We're...
we're not perfect,

but we need you, Sarah.

So just embrace us
if you can.

And see if things don't
get a little bit easier.

I want her out of here
and if you won't do it, I will.

Keep your voice down.
Jodean's come for...

if it wasn't for her,
kathy would still be alive.

- She family, Joey!
- She's not mine, not anymore.

She belongs with the grants.
She's just another lying traitor.

She plotted
to get him free,

he kills kathy... as far as I'm
concerned, she k*lled kathy.

She has kathy's blood
on her hands.

You don't know
what you're saying!

You spied
for your father.

You think people
didn't hear?

You think...
you think no one told me?

We have no use
for you. Get out.

Get out!

What are you doing here?
I told you not to come here.

I figured this
was interesting stuff.

I found someone who'll
pay a lot more than you.

Hollis.

We meet again.

When did you get
back in town?

Shut up and stand.

Render the respect
due Hollis Greene.

What do you want?

I'm advised you've come
into possession

of a missive
rare and precious.

That letter establishes
our documented

and evidentiary claim
to the keys

of the kingdom.

Thus the letter, please.

- I don't have it.
- Who does?

I don't know.

Wait... look, all I've
got is the report

that proves
the letter exists.

Let... let me show you.

It's gone.

It's not here.

Get out now!

Don, it's a miracle
you showed up.

- What did they want?
- The letter that Ted gave to the church.

- Well, how did they find out about that?
- Me.

I hired joel
and his cousin emory

to get me
the authentication report,

but I didn't know joel
was back with the Greenes.

I didn't know the Greenes
were back. It's gone.

It was...
it was in the safe.

You had it?

I thought that if I took it and
showed it to Vernie and jojo,

they'd come back to me.

If I could just talk
some sense into them,

if they just saw that
this life was the way...

so I showed it to 'em

and I told them that I'd be
willing to take them back...

and they laughed
at me, Bill.

They told me that they only loved
each other and their children,

not peg or me.

My family is
falling apart...

and we're never
getting back together.

Hey.

Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
