We go out with our billboards next week

As far down as provo

And we're gonna saturate
the salt lake market.

26 billboards is a lot.

And I have to say, in my three
terms as party chairman,

You were the first candidate
to place billboards

- Outside of his own district.
- That's what I've been telling him, d*ck.

But leslie newton usher has
run for the seat twice before.

She's a known commodity. - Yes,
but as a democrat in a republican district.

You've got the edge here and I
wouldn't provoke a spending w*r.

She's got mighty deep pockets.

Which gets to what I want to ask you, d*ck--

If we can count on the party
for any support.Eep pockets.

We can help you with names
and share donor lists,

But that's about it.

Have you taken any time
off since the nomination?

We were hoping for a breather,

But it has been full steam ahead.

Bill has the stamina of a teenager.

Lucky you.

Why don't you ride that trustee thing?

You've got some free media

And it's a good white-knight issue,
cleaning up juniper creek.

Well, I have been a bit out of
the loop during the campaign,

But you're right.

I've got a meeting of the
aisory committee in the morning.

d*ck: So are you breaking
up the u.E.B. Or not?

Bill: I think so. I've presented my ideas

To the trustee. I've just been
waiting to hear back from him.

Excuse me.

I need to visit the ladies' room.

Barb.

An

So...

You're-- you're working here now?

Yes.

Oh, crap. Bill.

Ana. It's good to see you.

Congratulations to...?

Is it...?

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't want to be a burden.

I have to go back to work.

I have a party of 12.

How are things going?

Adaleen: Oh, we're having a fabulous time

Getting to know one another.

And I've just been assigned
my newarital bedroom.

Asked you-- please do
not discuss that with me

Fine. I'm just saying my new
room adjoins cara lynn's.

We share a toilet-- just like sisters.

- Look. You are not sisters. - I know that.

We're painting fluffy clouds.

And I've sewn us matching outfits.

Please don't wear matching outfits.

( whispering ) well, she needs something.

She's taken a bit to dressing like a whore.

And after my sealing,
I will be one of her mothers.

Oh, no you won't. I am her mother.

You are my mother. You are her grandmother.

Don't push me.

You need to find peace
with my pending remarriage.

I want your blessing.

Mama, just please have her back on Sunday.

I ran these in boise and pocatello
last Sunday to test the waters.

Test the waters? For what?

Utah's our market.
Why are we running ads in idaho?

I'm coming into the home
stretch of my campaign

Against an opponent known to fight dirty.

I may be exposed as a polygamist.

Or I might have to preempt
and expose myself.

- Tommy: Whoa whoa whoa, bill.
- A wider net might not be all that bad.

That's not our deal, bill. At all.

Mormon money is not the
only money out there.

I think we should run one more set of these
ads to get our marketing guy to track

And see if we're pulling
from outside out utah base.

I'm just trying to be prudent here.

How long have you been thinking about this?

Jerry, this casino is as much my
family's lifeline as it is yours.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Without this casino,
we get ground back into poverty.

- I understand that.
- No, you don't understand.

I would never do anything to
jeopardize your interests.

I'm just expanding the business model,
not changing it.

All right, we're going to
continue this conversation.

Bill, marilyn densham's coming in tomorrow

For her formal presentation.

I know how you feel about her,
but I want to hear her out.

Fine.

- ( whispers )
- what is it?

- All right. - What on earth is going on?

We were in the restaurant last night

And do I have news for you.

- Ana was there--
- working?

Yes, moonlighting, the poor thing--

And pregnant... Out to here.

- Pregnant? - Bill and I ran over to hug her

And she was so frightened
to see us. - How pregnant?

Appropriately.

She was embarrassed and shamed.

We-- we know how prideful ana is.

And on her feet 15 hours a day

Just to make ends meet.

It was very emotional.

How was bill?

Well, how would you imagine?
He was devastated.

Wrestling with his feelings and beliefs.

We prayed together last night

But he feels heavenly father
has closed the door on ana.

Why are we assuming this is
bill's baby? - Nicki, we are.

Bill's running for office.
This could be a scam.

If it was a scam, she'd hardly
be avoiding us, would she?

But the marriage lasted 48 hours.

Conceiving in 48 hours?

That's hitting a real bull's-eye.
That's all I'm saying.

And bill was right.
That marriage was never meant to be.

Well, we do not turn our
backs on someone we love

Who's carrying our child which,

Given the recent history of our marriage,

Ought to mean something to some of us.

( phone ringing )

We're going to support
her in every way we can

And we're going to make room
for that baby in our lives.

Bill will come around.

Why doesn't anyone believe
I'm trying to get pregnant?

We don't need to scrounge
around a restaurant for a baby.

Did you see that?
Barb won't even look at me.

- What do I have to do?
- It's not gonna be over for you

Until benny's home from lois's and
she's tucked him safely in his b.

The money was wired Monday

By western union to don dona.

Up front?

Frank, don dona is

The bird kingpin for all of mexico.

A quick in, quick out,

No one knows we're here.

Can you believe the size of these shrimp?

Honey, can you go grab me some extra napkins

In case I get the trots?

Frank, I like this boy.

He's good. He's strong.

He's got our best traits.

He needs a little more structure
and discipline, that's all.

- Fathering.
- And mothering.

That was dad.

I told him that you sprained your ankle,

That I have to stay until
you can walk again.

Why don't you just tell him
that you're tasting the world?

Pfft! You know?

You're moving on.

I need everything to be
in order before I do.

I don't want anything to mess it up.

In one week's time, you'll have the dough

To do whatever you want in life.

How do you like mexico so far?

It's a blast. I love getting out of sandy.

Wait till you taste that shrimp cocktail.

You can't get shrimp
like this in the states.

* oh, I've got a broken foot *

* and I'm eating jumbo shrimp *

* I've cut out the middleman *

* and I'm eating jumbo shrimp *

* I'm with my favorite grandson... *

Both: * and I'm eating jumbo shrimp *

* life doesn't get much sweeter. *

My topic is "independence and autonomy:

Choices for women."

I'm not a businesswoman.

I am a working mother.

And while I've struggled
to make this my life,

I don't think I've ever
wanted to "have it all."

I've just wanted to be happy.

Don't you think it's strange

That men own businesses and have families,

But they're not accused
of wanting to have it all?

( applauding )

I'm not a feminist or anything,

But I don't think that doing something

That makes us feel less dependent on others

And increases our self-respect

Could possibly be bad for society.

And I think it's really important

That women stick together
and help each other.

Believe me, it's something I try
to live every day of my life.

Hi, it's me.

Where are you?

You were supposed to call me at 9:00.

I have a very special surprise for you--

Something I think you will like very much.

Call me as soon as you get this.

( door closes )

Three of the advisors had me
meet with them this morning

And asked me to meet with you.

I have to ask you, dale:

Are you having inappropriate
contact with albert grant?

( stammering )

No, of course not.

Well, members of the committee
have been told that you are.

- By who?
- I don't know,

But the members are concerned.

The pace of the audit and
inventory has slowed.

Just be square with me.

Have you had any secret
meetings of any kind?

No.

You know, discussing u.E.B. Business

Or making side deals behind closed doors

With the de facto prophet would
be a significant ethical lapse.

I've spoken with him once or twice,

Trying to persuade him to cooperate with us.

Dale. "never make an enemy

When you can make a friend." I get that.

But this is albert grant.

The man put rattlesnakes in my bed.

He stalked my daughter.

He-- he tried to poison his own father.

He continues to perform sealings.

The guy's a complete sociopath.

You need to make a full
accounting to the board

Before this thing takes
on a life of its own.

- Here it comes.
- Thank you.

- Oh, sorry.
- Nicki: Ahem!

- Ana.
- Margie.

Oh, you look great.

Margie.

We're here to offer our support.

We want to know you're okay. That's all.

Make sure everything is on the up and up.

You're aware, I'm sure,
that bill is a nominee

For state senate from the 8th district.

Barb: I'm sure she knows that, nicki.

We have clothes, bassinets, toys...

- No, thank you.
-...Babysitting, advice, love.

You have no idea how great
it is to have a backup mom.

Thank you, but this baby
needs only one mother.

That's the way it will be raised, please.

I'll come in a minute to take your orders.

Are you-- are you really saying

That you don't want to
have anying to do with us?

- ( cell phone ringing )
- really, barb,

If you come later,
maybe we can talk about it.

( beeps )

- Hello.
- Bill: Check your 5:00.

What are you doing here?

You said you were gonna keep
your hands off the situation.

I never said that,
but what are you doing here?

You said that ana was a closed chapter.

I meant for you to leave it
alone because, no offense,

You and your sisters of mercy
can be a bit overwhelming.

This situation is a bit delicate.

Yes, it is a bit delicate--

There's a baby involved here-- our baby.

Yes, and I will handle it.

Go home, all of you.

- Waitress! - Oh, no. Wait-- waitress.

Well, I have news for you-
she doesn't want us.

Any of us. Do I have that right?

Yes, so see what you can
pull from your bag of tricks.

Let's go. We know when we're not wanted.

You people are so damn complicated.

There's no halfway with any of you.

This just can't be an independent
decision on your part.

- And why not?
- Dagnabit, ana.

I have a shared responsibility in this.

This is my child.
It's my son or my daughter,

And nothing you can say or
do can change that fact.

This baby was conceived out of our love.

Why are you making this so hard?

I can't take it.

Anyway, this is not even my station.

The password is "family."

- ( both chuckle )
- dorky but sweet.

Phones-- don't worry about
transferring calls for now.

Messages are good enough for today.

Barb. Right?

Marilyn. This is my assistant katie.

Hi.

Marilyn. Hello, katie.

And this is my daughter sarah.

- She's helping me out for a couple of days.
- Nice to meet you, sarah.

Nice to meet you too. Hey.

I'm in town to give my pitch to the tribe.

Oh.

I hope you don't think
I'm being presumptuous,

But I saw this in the denver
airport and I thought of you.

It's just a bit of an
apology for being so brusque

When we met at the convention.

( gasps )

I hope you like hot chocolate.

I do. How did you know?

Well, I know how hard it is
to be a candidate's wife.

You are always taking care of him--

His health, his worries, his temper.

I thought you might need
something to buoy you up.

That's very sweet of you.

Maybe you can give me some tips

On where all the bodies are buried.

So you're on the board of weber gaming

And weber is

The partnered entity with the blackfeet?

Yes, but technically I'm a partner too.

Oh. Well, then why aren't you on the list

For the pitch on Thursday?

I knew it.

This is a boys' club here, isn't it?

When will they grow up? It's--

Isn't it tiresome?

It's like being hazed at
sorority or something.

Don't worry.

I'll be at that meeting.

Good. I'm glad.

You should be.

( truck engine rumbling )

No, it looks good. I'm just a little
concerned about the back entrance.

( both silent )

Well, if you can get us up to that 9,
000-square-foot mark,

I'd feel a lot better. It sounds good.

Yup, I'll call you later. Okay, bye.

9,000 square feet for what?

Our new campaign headquarters.

Oh. I need to talk to you.
I have a problem.

Still problems with barb?

Oh, no. We're almost fine again.

- Well, then what is it?
- I think you should wait a year.

- For what?
- Announcing who we are.

Honey, I thought you were onboard.

No, I just didn't make a stink

Because I didn't think
you could possibly win.

Sweetie, if you're nervous,
it's okay. We all are.

Well, I'm not talking about nerves, bill.

I'm talking about our financial stability,

Our privacy, our family,

Not knowing what's gonna happen with ana.

By the second year of your term,
we'd have more of a foundation.

Do it then.

I can't help but believe you're
more concerned about your business.

Honey-- - bill, if you want your $10,
000 investment back,

- I can pay you right away.
- No, what I want to say is

Something much more than that.

I wish I felt that you were
struggling with this more

Or that you were even torn, but I don't.

I don't want our marriage to be
a w*apon to stifle your growth,

But it's not something you can just
throw away when you want to either.

Why are you putting syrup on an omelet?

I like it that way.

What's the matter?

I thought this would make you happy.

We can meet here.

It can be a place just for us.

Someone's onto us.

My advisors are talking.

Says who?

I met with bill henrickson today.

( exhales sharply ) bill.

I could be in serious trouble, alby.

- ( exhales sharply )
- so could you.

I got-- I got tripped up. I lied to him.

Bill's an agitator.

Everyone is concerned that
the audit is dragging.

Because I'm trying to get all the records.
You should've said that.

I didn't know what he knew, alby!

( sighs )

He said other things-- about you.

He's a liar.

Did you try to k*ll your father?

Of course not.

Are you performing sealings?

Dale, please.

Sealings are important to us.

I know how you feel about them

But, please, judge me not
by the lies of others.

People are trying to turn
us against each other.

I am not the devil.

I know you're not.

( over radio ) *
'cause I've been searching *

* I've spent a lifetime, darling *

* searching *

- * looking for someone *
- ( door closes )

- ( alarm chirps )
- * just like you... *

- Winston churchill: Men will still say...
- ( air-raid siren blaring )

...This was their finest hour.

( sighs )

Margie's getting cold feet
about after the election.

Do you think you could help with her?

I'll do what I can.

Mention it to barb, too.

Put your heads together.

( bombs whistling, exploding )

Don't go yet.

30 more minutes?

Okay.

Thanks for staying.

Sometimes I get so angry
at things I can't change.

What do you mean?

The way we grew up.

This is something you have to put to bed.

Oh, I wish I could do
that as easily as you can.

I think I'm damaged.

( siren continues )

( bombs whistling, exploding )

Listen. I don't know

How this ana situation will work out,

But I'm not giving up.

Margene says you're looking
at new headquarters?

Well, we can't continue to run the campaign

Out of our dining room, barb.
We're creating an image.

9,000 square feet is getting
to be a pretty expensive image.

Plus the signs and the billboards.

The more people that come to know
us now as regular and ordinary,

The harder it'll be for them
to hate us on the other side.

And what's this I hear
about a change in direction

For the blackfoot magic?

A rebranding?

It turns us into every
other casino out there.

That's not a vision that
I'm very happy with.

We're going to be public polygamists.

I want to make sure we're protected.

I guess I should've run it by you

But, frankly, I thought
it was kind of implied.

And was the invitation
marilyn's pitch implied too?

She showed up to talk to me about it

And I-- I was totally blindsided.

I am on the board of directors.

I am the one on the ground up there.

What's going on with you, bill?

Don't talk to marilyn about anything.

We can't stop her from
buttering up the flutes,

But she can't be hired without our consent.

I like her. - Oh, honey,
don't be so naive.

Maybe that's what we need there.

If she found out-- she's just too connected.

It'd blow us out of the water.

No, the sooner she's sent packing,
the better we'll be.

( slots chiming ) - I've seen a
lot of casinos, but none like this.

Mmm. I love root beer.

Well, it was bill's vision.

You are unbelievable.

- What? - She designed this ice cream bar.

Oh. I got the idea

From the ice cream parlor
on main street, disneyland.

Behind every man

There's an exhausted woman.

So you're recently married I hear.

Mmm. Mm-hmm.

Bless your heart. I hope
you're better at it than I was.

I was married at your age--

A student housewife.

I don't know what we
were thinking back then.

At least in oklahoma.

Oh, here too.

But then I discovered politics.

I became a driven young republican activist

And I worked for reagan
during the '76 convention.

My mother was a rockefeller republican

And she and my daddy

Took me with them to the conventions
a rockefin miami beach.N

I was four years old

And saw the ocean for the very first time.

It made me cry.

- Oh.
- I just cried and cried

For three days.

Miss densham.

I've got larry on the phone in the office.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Barb: Oh.
- I've got to take this.

You never told me that.

Well, there's a lot of
things I haven't told you.

It's about the nez perce.

The tribe isn't happy about any of this.

Oh, f*ck them. I'm humping for them 24/7,

And I'm not giving this up.

There's nothing here to thr*aten anybody.

Calm down, wanda. Just try to calm down.

Wanda: No! They're coming! They're here!

- Who?
- My family!

They've been arriving
from kansas all morning!

A bunch of imbeciles in their crazy vans

And their nutty rvs!

I think this means your
mother's sealing is happening.

No. No!

You knew it was coming.

Yeah, but I didn't know it was
gonna make me feel like this.

Wanda, just go get cara lynn and
keep her away from that freak show

And call me every hour and let
me know what's going on, okay?

I have a terrible foreboding, nicki.

Well, I'm happy to tell you
that the trusteeship is

Officially now back on track and
aggressively moving forward.

Give me a ring or send out a reporter,

And I'll gladly speak abo it on
the record. - ( knocks on door )

Thank you. I look forward to
discussing it with you in more detail.

( softly ) I'm so glad you called.

Please sit.

Um, I thought about what you said,

And I've changed my mind.

I do need help.

Ana, I'm so happy to hear you say that.

I have to quit waitressing.

My doctor says I need
to get off my feet more.

If you can help me now,

We can work out some
sort of visitation plan.

Well, I hope it'll be more than visitations.

Well, just for now. Maybe more later.

But, bill,

I don't want to be bothered by barb,
margie and nicki.

I can't have them calling
or trying to bond with me.

It's too much drama and
I'm overwhelmed as it is.

I want it to be... Normal--

Just you and me. All right?

All right.

Good. Now who should my lawyer talk to?

Lawyer? You have a lawyer?

No, but I will. I'm supposed to.

Says who?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Shouldn't someone draw up the paperwork?

Paperwork? No no, ana.

I'm in the middle of a campaign here.

Oh yes, the 8th district.

Look. This is just so
that things are clear.

Ana, I-- trust me. I can take care of this.

I can.

Whenever the adversary tries to convince you

That you can't change, he's lying.
He's the father of lies.

Bishop sofaman, I've been going
to alignment for six years,

And it's only gotten worse.

No temptation is so strong
that you can't resist it,

Unless you've given away your
free agency to complete addiction.

No! I've done everything right!

Everything. When I was young,

I was part of the reorientation
program at b.Y.U.

I did the aversion therapy,

Vomiting up my guts while
I'm watching p*rn.

I still have scars from the electroshock.

Bishop, I have struggled for my church.

And I know-- I know it
has struggled with me,

- But I feel like I'm--
- man: You know, dale,

When my wife and I watched the
olympic divers' competition,

I noticed that the judges grade

Not only on how good the form is

But also the difficulty of the dive.

Heavenly father will judge you
by the difficulty of your dive,

Which only he has the
knowledge to understand.

The fact is, your job is made harder

By the cultural confusion

That exists around h*m* today.

Listen to your leaders.

I do listen!

I try to feel heavenly
father's love and compassion

- For me--
- if you love your church,

If you want your place in heaven,

If you love your family,

Then you must find a way to stop.

This is what I've been hearing for 30 years.

( softly ) frank.

Son. Your grandmother and I have been

Thinking that once this trip is done,

You would be more than welcome

To come live with us.

Lois: We'd have enough money

To add on a room all your own,

Have your own car.

We could really fix you up.

What about living down here?

Could we do that?

Could we get a place down
here for part of the time?

With bars on the windows so the thieves

- Wouldn't get in while we're away.
- ( cell phone ringing )

Where's the beach? How far is the beach?

What kind of government do they have here?

Oh.

- Bill: Hello, mom.
- I don't think

I'm very interested in
talking to you at the moment.

Where exactly are you?

- My place.
- Oh, really?

Well, I'm at your place and you're not here.

- Where's ben?
- I don't think

He's very interested in
talking to you either.

Mom. - We're in the grand tetons,
okay? Is that a crime?

We're having a wonderful time.

- Who's "we"?
- Uh, your father,

Lovely jodean and benjamin.

You took ben to wyoming
without my permission?

I'm taking my family

On an innocent, well-earned vacation.

If you can't keep your family together,
then that's your problem.

I want you and your little ragtag posse

To turn around and come home right now.

This ragtag posse happens to be my family!

- Stop feeling guilty.
- Why should I feel guilty?

Forget it. I never held
it against you anyway.

- Held what against me?
- My banishment.

Why would you? There was
thing I could do about it,

And if you're just gonna
start attacking me--

Mother, be quiet, stop talking

And get ben home now. You got it?

You want to stop?

Get a bite to eat?

Let's just keep driving.

Don dona is expecting us.

And we're not gonna keep him waiting.

Lura.

The trustee is a h*m*.

He should be removed.

Don't be ridiculous.

Remove him from his position.

How does it feel exactly
to do alby's dirty work?

It can't be satisfying.

If my husband could remove him, he would.

Then why doesn't he?

Well, can't,

So do it... Please.

Sorry I'm late. Ready for business.

Actually, margie, you are the business.

Oh. Ganging up?

We want to make sure that we're
still a priority for you.

It's distressing to bill...

- To all of us.
- ...And to all of us

That you're so resistant
to the post-election plan.

It hurts us that you'd let
us go out there without you.

I never said that.

I think we should all
explore waiting is all.

I'm not being resistant.
I'm stating my opinion.

In four weeks we're going to be out there,

Publicly known,

In the glaring spotlight.

Don't you have any fears about any of this?

Of course I have fears.

Like what?

It'd be nice to hear I'm
not totally crazy here.

Barb: I'm scared...

Of not being able

To hold onto home plus or the casino.

I'm scared of not being able

To keep up with bill on the
vision after the vision,

Whatever it'll be.

I'm terrified for the children--

What it will mean to them in their lives.

There. Fears.

And I'm afraid we're moving ahead

And you won't be there with us

At the end.

And I'll just cut to the chase.

I saw your speeches on
your laptop the other day

And they hurt my feelings greatly.

- Why were you on my laptop?
- What speeches?

She is out there making speeches

When she's supposedly having root canals.

I joined toastmasters.

Public speaking improves my self-esteem

And it's part of getting ahead at v.S.N.

And please don't lecture me on ingratitude.

I'm not. I'm lecturing you on hypocrisy.

Your speeches are fairy tales,

Spinning fantasies about being
an independent career woman.

You are not independent. You are one of us.

All right, hold on, you two. - You could
not do the things that you do without us.

We are the women behind the woman.

We take care of your children,
cooking, cleaning.

I gave you credit.
I said I wouldn't be where I am

Without standing on the
shoulders of other women.

Walking on their backs, more like it.

Unfair! I went straight from being

A little girl to being a married woman.

There was no in between!
I'm finding my voice!

- What's wrong with wanting more?
- That's a joke, right?

You had a whole life before you joined us!

You should be counting your blessings!
I never had the little girl part,

Let alone the in between! Maybe I
should write some speeches about it!

( chattering in spanish )

Ah. Hi. ( speaking spanish )

Don dona, how are you, darling?

- ( speaks spanish )
- I super bien.

- Super good.
- Mmm.

So this is your bird kingpin, lois?

I'm here for our birds,

And then we have to vamoose.

( speaking spanish )

- There's a problem.
- ( don doña speaking )

The birds will be here tomorrow.

Or maybe not.

There was a lot of rain and everyone
had to run up into the mountains.

Frank: How much of our money
did you give this joker?

The boy is very pretty and tall.

Yes.

Oh, give me a break.

- Can I touch his beautiful hair?
- Gross. He's all dirty.

- Listen to me.
- Frank, shh!

- He's got a temper.
- I don't care

If you're minny the moocher.

Tomorrow at 12:00, which is noon...

( mimics parrot squawk ) -...
We're coming for our birds

And you're gonna give 'em to us-- or else.

You tell him I'm not taking one--

Not even one ratty clitoris.

Now come on, tell him.

( door opens )

( door closes )

- Bill. - I'm sorry for calling you here.

I didn't want to put you
on the spot at your home.

Alby's wife lura came to speak to me.

She's the one behind all of this.

Are you and alby having a h*m* affair?

Dale, you've got to tell me.

There's no spinning this.
You'll have to resign.

Our trusteeship is completely
compromised. You know that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I lied to you, bill,

And I'm sorry I betrayed you.

( crying )

Can you help me?

I'll do what I can.

I'll certainly vouch for
you in any investigation.

Oh, heavenly father,
please-- no investigations.

Dale, I'll do everything I
can to keep this contained.

Dear lord, please.

( mutters )

I think I can understand how
difficult this must be--

Keeping a secret.

You can't imagine.

( door opens )

( door closes )

How was your day?

Less than pleasant. Is nicki here?

I think so. Your plate's in the kitchen

And your real estate guru called again

About the campaign headquarters--

- During dinner.
- I'm sorry about that.

Hey, it won't happen again.

Well, how is benny?

Did you call your mother?
Did you talk to him?

They went camping in wyoming.

You have got to be kidding me.

This is ridiculous. I am calling them.

Barb, please. I know,
but they're fine. They're fine.

I spoke with ana. She came by to see me.

It's good news. She's had a change of heart.

She's willing to normalize
things after the election.

Normalize? What does that mean?

To accept some parental rights.

And what does that mean,
"some parental rights"?

She's willing to let me be a father.

- You? Alone?
- For now. Honey--

No, this doesn't feel right.

This is our baby and you've
made some private deal?

- I haven't made any deal.
- Hows isn't a shakedown?

It's not a shakedown. - Then why
did she change her mind so suddenly?

Did you ask yourself that?

And are we a family that
makes decisions together,

Or are we all free agents now?

We're a family that moves forward as one.

Good, 'cause I've got news for you--

You are not raising a baby with another
woman that I'm not a mother to.

Oh, you know exactly what I meant.

( sighs ) and I've got more news for you.

There's a problem at the casino.

Your "rebranding" exercise has backfired.

These fliers were distributed

In over 600 evangelical churches

In idaho this past weekend.

I'm sure it's just some
backwoods fringe group.

- That's not what we've been told.
- It's the state chapter

Of families for a responsible
america out of atlanta.

Their founder, ron reed,

Was on the cover of "time" magazine.

He's the new face of the religious right.

Their goal is to shut you down

With a ballot referendum

Banning gambling in idaho.

I thought you being a mormon was
supposed to solve problems like this.

Mormons and evangelicals have

A very uneasy coexistence.

Your ads in boise and pocatello

Put you on their radar.

Baloney! We've been on
their radar from the get-go.

We're not the only tribe they've targeted.

Bill, it's clear as day.

Don't say they're not connected.

The good news is this is very beatable.

I've got pull with the idaho
delegation in washington

And they've got pull in boise.

We can stop the initiative
in the legislature.

Let's get real here, everyone.

A ballot initiative is years down the road.

And let's not let someone
to fan this into terror

For their own selfish reasons.

And I don't want some holy
w*r with the religious right.

May I speak with you for a moment, bill?

Why are you being such a douchebag?

Stop disparaging me in
front of potential clients.

I'm just trying to protect my partners.

If I meant to be disparang,
I'd have called you a leech

Hoping to bleed the tribe dry.

Oh, says the opportunist
riding the tribe's coattails.

What's your big contribution?

Drug use is up 22% on this reservation.

- What are you doing about that?
- Oh, a rtion

Of your massive retainer goes
towards fighting addiction too?

- Gee, I didn't realize that.
- ( whispering ) get ahold of yourselves.

You're two dogs fighting and the
flutes don't want to be your bone.

You think you can be self-righteous
about gaming the system with earmarks,

Corporate jets and backroom deals?

You're nothing but a mone
y-changer in the temple.

And don't think you can
use my wife to get at me.

It so happens that I like your wife.

I respect her. Heaven only knows

What she's doing with a
horse's ass like you.

( door opens, closes )

Is this casino our safety net or not?

Of course it is. You know it is.

Then I think you're being
stubborn and short-sighted.

Nicki: Alby, please don't hang up.

Bill told me everything.

Alby: It's not true, nicki, none of it.

Bill is spreading these lies.

No. No, bill's not behind this.

- Lura is.
- Lura knows?

She's told others.

Don't judge me, nicki.

He sees the good in me.

Don't say things like that.

We're both twisted...

By mama and papa, by the way we were raised.

No. He is good.

He touches my heart.

He's my destiny, nki.

I love you, alby.

No matter what.

I do. I love you.

What do you mean, "no matter what"?

- What do you know?
- No. No, nothing.

- Father.
- I have to go now

To the la esperanza.

The la esperanza?

I'm performing several sealings.

Alby, are you sealing j.J. And mama?

Yes.

( sniffles ) at the la esperanza?!

How could they do it there?! No,
this is just too much!

Leave the past to the past, sister.

When it looks like ours,
no good can come of it.

( cell phone clatters )

Huh. Your turn.

- ( both laughing )
- that's not fair.

Hey, wanda.

Look. Mommy and papa are here.

Cara lynn: Grandma.

It's so nice to see you, honey.

You've been such a stranger.

Baby doll.

I think we're ready.

Ah.

( speaks spanish )

La translatadora is in el carro.

We're here for our birds,
th we're going to check out.

- What does he want?
- Go to him.

( don doña speaking )

- Kiss him.
- What?!

- I'm not gonna do that.
- ( don doña speaks )

Kiss him. It gets us our birds

And it gets us out of here.

- The man is plastered!
- What's going on?

- That's enough of that!
- Hey!

You pick up my bananas, you old dog!

You don't mess with frank harlow.

Frank.

Something's not right. I'm serious, frank.

- We need to leave now.
- Forget that.

- Oh!
- Hola.

Welcome to mexico.

You're supposed to be in prison.

I guess I got out.

So, poaching from our supplier?

Greedy, and a punishae offense.

- You'll come with us now.
- ( whimpers )

And him.

The restaurant gave me your new address.

I'm sorry for barging over

But, ana, I simply cannot let you keep

Margie, nicki and me away from
a baby born from our marriage,

- All the while asking for money.
- ( sighs )

No, I just can't stand for it,
ana. I'm sorry.

- Could you come back later?
- ( door opens )

Hello.

( both speak serbian )

( door closes )

Who was that?

Goran. My fiance.

Fiance.

You're-- you're remarrying.

So why didn't you tell us?

Because I knew you'd drive him away.

Did he put you up to this?
Is that why you're asking for the money?

No, he wants what's best
for me and the baby.

He loves me. You don't find a desirable man

Willing to love someone pregnant
with another man's child every day.

You can't ask me to give that up.

Well, you can't ask me to give up

A child conceived in our marriage either.

My baby with bill didn't
come from our marriage.

It was conceived before we were married.

Before.

( folk music playing )

* where have all the flowers gone?
* - ( chatting )

* long time passing *

( over radio) * where have
all the flowers gone? *

- * long time-- *
- ( engine stops )

What is the matter with you?

I've come for the sealing after all.

Not like that you're not.

Look at you. Have you lost your senses?

I feel very sane, mama,

Perhaps for the first time in my life.

You are making a complete
spectacle of yourself.

Please, get a sheet to cover her up.

And this hair-- - don't.
It's how I want it.

But it's ridiculous.

It's on the side of your head.

It's me, mama. It's who
I've always been inside.

You're talking yourself
right into a saitjacket.

No! This hotel

Is the place where my soul was k*lled,

When you stood by and let papa marry me off

To a man who was twice my age!

Enough! Leave now!

We've got to be in and out
of here in about five minutes

- Before someone tips off the cops.
- I'm handling it.

There is nothing you wouldn't do
to be the center of attention.

Where is my daughter?

She'd better not be anywhere around this.

- ( adaleen sighs )
- what?!

I don't know. You know how these
things happen on the spur of the moment.

What are you saying?

Your father arranged it before he passed.

No!

Where is she?!

You were my intended, my darling.

My name is toby.

You'll be my seventh.

That makes us both so lucky.

- ( crying )
- out.

Oh, nicki. You come here
'cause I want to hug you.

Where is cara lynn, wanda?

She's in the nursery with the ponies.

You've come back to us, dear.

Baby doll.

( crying ) mama, help me.

It's not what you think, nicki. Calm down.

Cara lynn is just here for
the reception, for the party.

Shut up! You shut up
and get out of the way.

You come near her again-- either of you--

I will k*ll you! I swear to god!

Welcome aboard, marilyn.

Thank you.

( knocker raps )

Hello.

May I help you?

Yes.

Yes, you may.

( door opens )

Remove your nightgown.

Just let me admire you.

I want this...

To be special for you.

( singing softly ) * sweet adeleen *

* my adeline *

* at night, dear heart *

* for you I pine. *

Steve, that is fantastic.

- I'll put you down for $500.
- ( door opens )

Listen, I really appreciate this.

- Thanks again.
- ( cell phone beeps )

Where've you been?

The casino. ( sighs )

- Is something wrong?
- I saw ana today.

Oh, she's engaged, by the way.

You might want to have a
talk to her about that.

What do you mean, "engaged"?

Well, she has a fiance.

They're very much in love.
Isn't that wonderful?

So much love afoot everywhere you turn.

And she told me when the baby was conceived.

What exactly does our religion say

About a baby conceived out of wedlock

In, say, premarital intercourse?

Barb...

I made a mistake.

I'm an imperfect person. I know that.

Barb, I'm sorry.

You know that?

Because here's what I know.

It happened with ana.
It happened with marge.

So what would you suggest I make of that?

I've been tested and failed.

Everything's supposedly for a higher good--

The wives, the babies,

The campaign, the billboards,

The big new campaign headquarters.

But I have to ask myself,
bill, is it truly for us

Or is it really just for you?

Are you just trying to fix
something that's broken in you?

Barb, how can you think that

After 18 years of marriage?

You of all people.

Get marge. Get nicki.

All three of you.

This is what the real estate
agent has been calling about.

This is what the campaign is about.

In just over a month, this could be ours--

A place where we can be ourselves,

Together under one roof.

No more hiding.

A place where we can love each other

And be proud of who we are.

This is all I've ever wanted...

For all of us.

And for however imperfect I am,

I'll never stop wanting it.

I need to see you.

We can't let them destroy us.

They're envious of what we have.

Meet me at the apartment.

Everything will be all right

As long as we're together here.

I love you.

( vase shatters )

( sobbing )

No. No no no.
