03x02 - Empire

[bunniefuu]

The growing season
is short.

We're zone 16 so our last
frost-free day is may 15th.

Say, do you ever watch
the weather channel?

No.

I don't think I ever have.

It relaxes me.

What else do you
like to watch?

Our munchie meals
are missing fries.

- Hmm.
- Oh, I'm sorry. Let me see.

Raymond, the berries
won't go up the straw.

Use the spoon.

Thank you.

Do you enjoy
gardening, Ana?

I guess I don't know.
I grew up in the city.

We had window boxes

with carnations
for a while.

Really?
Oh, carnations are lovely.

We especially
like cannas too.

Pull out.

- Pull out.
- No, not now.

- Bill, pull out. -
Margie, please. Not... ow!

- Stop.
- What?

You look at me sideways
and I'm six months pregnant.

I don't want to get
pregnant again, not so soon.

Okay?

I understand.

- No, I'm serious.
- It's all right.

It's not my turn.

How are things with Nicki?
Are you and she?

- Are you?
- Honey, please.

She hasn't gotten pregnant
for four years,

and we know it's not you
that's the problem, so...

what is the problem?

Oh, for Pete's sake,
go to sleep.

Have you talked to her
about it?

Good night, Margene.

She needs to bring all
this equipment herself?

- A field hockey stick?
- It's an athletic camp.

Archery bow?
It's six weeks.

You just pick teenie up
after practice.

- It's around 5:00.
- I'll be there.

Ana again on
Thursday, good.

What did you think
of our date last night?

I thought it was nice.
What did you think?

Real nice.

Oh, wait wait wait. Ben's
flag raising on Friday?

Don should've told you.

Isn't his post
sponsoring the event?

Oh, crud.

Could you cover?

Well, I could,

but I really wish
you would.

I think it would mean a lot
to Ben if you found the time.

- He's flag-bearer.
- Why isn't Nicki conceiving?

How should I know?

- Well, haven't you wondered?
- Well, of course I've wondered.

So?

Could mean a lot of things...
stress,

- her father, the trial.
- Four years?

Do you know if she's even
seen a doctor lately?

You know how she is.

If she's not telling you,
she's not telling me.

Oh, Margene, I've never been
so bored in my life,

and it went on
and on and on.

We talked about the weather
and then gardening

and then about bone meal.

I don't even know what.
On a date.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I guess it's not
what you're used to.

Of crse not. You go out,
you go to a nice restaurant,

you have a lovely
bottle of wine.

You know, you even
go dancing. Bone meal.

But you'll still come
on Thursday, right?

We're all looking
so forward to it.

Everyone's kind
and so polite,

but God,
please please,

don't you ever ever
desert me like that.

I won't, I promise.
Thursday will be great.

You'll see.
I gotta go, bye.

Two Jane does down,
two to go.

Where do they find
these vipers?

Well, Rhonda
I can understand.

Do we know for certain
that Rhonda's a Jane doe?

We do now, yes.
She called her mother.

Poor lydia.

She swears she had
nothing to do

with Rhonda's civil case against
your father. You've got to find her.

She's b*rned through
three foster homes.

She's gone.
She could be anywhere.

Well, there's a reason
you're working in the D.A.'s,

a reason why we invested
so much effort.

Well, it's not so easy.

They've put all the files
into a w*r room.

This isn't a game
we're playing.

I haven't slept
in four days.

They raided the ranch
in kansas with storm troopers

and took all the children.

Your father's being held
by this kangaroo court

and he could die
behind bars.

I understand.

I'm sorry but we're gonna
make it through this, mama.

We will.

Okay, thank you.

They want me to give
another deposition tomorrow.

I gotta work
in the afternoon.

I can't get you
up to the city.

They're gonna do it
down here

in a hotel room
in St. George.

Every time I see her
looking at us like that,

I wanna go over
and take her hand

and say,
"this is what's going on."

No, baby.

I don't want to put that
kind of stress on her, or us.

If she went and told people
that you're gonna testify

against Roman
before we're ready to go,

we could suffer
a lot of backlash,

or worse.

Won't Alby protect us?

We're all just safer
if no one knows,

especially Wanda.

I'm putting the two of you
at risk is what I'm doing.

No, you're righting a wrong that was
done to you, and I'm gonna back you up...

I'm gonna back
you up 1000%.

This is how
to handle this.

Okay?
I know it.

This scan
will map the nodes,

then they can remove what
they want for the biopsy.

And for the removal,

will I need
to spend the night?

Dr. Gowan will
explain everything.

Oh.

Margie, where
have you been?

I sold 15 units.

I don't even want
to tell you

how many thousands
of dollars that is.

Bill says
I'm his lucky charm.

Honey, that's great
but you were

supposed to be back
two hours ago

to look after
all the boys and nell.

Nicki called me a half
hour ago fit to be tied.

She has work
this afternoon.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to her.
I will, I promise.

Sweetie, has she...

said anything to you

about problems
getting pregnant?

I knew it.
What did she say?

Oh no, she didn't
say anything to me.

So you're concerned too.

I just can't believe we
dropped the ball like this.

Barb, do you suppose that
she and Bill are having...

- Margene.
- I know, but what if they've stopped?

Fine, I'm just saying

I'm not having the next baby. No way.

Where have you been?

Leaving me
with babies and boys?

I took care
of it, Nicki.

I opened up a whole new
territory for weber.

The sports bar
by the dry-cleaner's.

So what?

You've been spending entirely
too much time on weber.

Margie, pour Nicki
some kool-aid.

What is it?
What's going on?

I was just talking
about Ana.

I don't think last night
was a smashing success.

Whatoes she want?
I mean, she got the front seat

and they gave her
endless refills.

She's european, Nicki.

She has higher standards
than us.

We need to make Thursday
more romantic.

We need to
step it up.

We can all bring
little gifts.

Ridiculous.
Here.

Nicki.

Bill is concerned
and so are we...

about the fact that you
aren't having any more babies.

Wayne?

Could you take your brothers
into the other room?

Bill said something?

We're all just worried
about you.

"We're all"?

There's nothing wrong
with me. Maybe it's Bill.

Well, Margene
just had one.

Maybe something
awful happened

to his parts since then.
Maybe Margie broke him.

There's nothing
to be ashamed of.

I, of all people,
know that.

I'm sure our heavenly father
will provide for us

when it's time.

Certainly it's not for
you two to set the pace.

Well, we're here to help.

He teaches casino design
at unlv.

Anyway, this is what
they did for the mohegans.

- Don?
- Oh.

I mean, you can clearly
see these guys have

a long track record
in tribal casinos.

I bring the Ids
sensitivity.

- Jerry, it's a great match.
- Interesting.

Don?

This is the dakota magic

built for
the sisseton-wahpeton sioux.

If you can plant
a casino-hotel complex

in the middle of north dakota
and make it sing,

you know what
you're doing.

Bill, I don't know
how to say this tactfully,

because I do like you,

but if I wanted
a slideshow,

I could've arranged
that myself.

I thought there was
gonna be a model.

Isn't that what
you told me?

Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.

No.
Exactly, it's coming.

We asked the firm
to throw together a model

from the blueprints,
but they...

well, they obviously
misunderstood.

If you're gonna
sell me a vision,

I need
something tangible

to bring before
my tribal council

to get this
off the ground.

Some glitz.

Something snazzy.

Look, I know you guys
are mom and pop,

and I appreciate that,

but you're competing
against Tr*mp and wynn.

What the heck
was that all about?

You promised
him the model?

I don't think
I said that.

He called
and asked and...

I don't know
what I said.

Well, nuts to that.
Now we gotta shell out.

Iook, I'll pony up half, but
then I'm gonna need your half.

Bill, I told you, I don't have
that kind of money right now.

Neither do I. I'm as
stretched as you are,

but we have got
to make this happen.

Bill, don't talk to me
like a child.

I said no and I mean it.

Hey.

Did I do
something wrong?

Sarah, are we gonna talk
about this asu thing or not?

I got accepted

and I like it.

That's about it.

I just don't understand
this sudden love

for arizona.

I mean, I know you'll get
your parents off your back,

but it's like you want
to get away from me too.

No.

That's not it.

Have you even
told your parents?

Don't worry.
I'm gonna tell them.

So they don't know anything
about this at all?

It just happened.

You can't run away
from your problems.

They'll just follow you.

I'm cold.
Can I borrow your sweater?

Yeah.

Hey, if I pushed
you too hard,

I'm sorry.

And I can learn
to accept your family.

How?

Just give me a chance.

- I got to go.
- No, Sarah,

not like this, you don't.
Come on.

I have to.

You know, I don't think you should be

going outside
of our marital bonds

to discuss something
as personal

as my ability
to conceive.

Growing the family
is why we're here.

Matthew 18:5...

"whosoever shall receive
one such little child

in my name receiveth me."

Don't start quoting
scripture at me, Bill.

You'll lose that game
quick enough.

Sweetie, Barb's not gonna
have another baby

and it's unfair to ask Margie
to carry the load alone.

Right?

Well, what about Ana?

We don't marry someone
to be a brood mare.

Why not?

I think you need
to see a doc, hon.

Just to make sure
you're okay.

I just don't know
if a doctor will be enough.

I feel I need
a blessing

from my father.

No, Nicki.

We are not
going to the prison

to invoke
your father's blessing.

Well, if you want me to
conceive and become pregnant...

no.

Bill, evie and Cole couldn't
have a baby for five years.

Then my father blessed them
and eight months later,

twins.

Wanda?

- How did you get in?
- The door was open.

Get rid of kathy.

You can do it.

Assign her to someone else
or I don't know what I'll do.

What's that supposed
to mean, Wanda?

Just or else.

Wanda, kathy is very dear
to me, as are you.

But were anything
to happen to kathy,

were she to be injured
or harmed in any way,

it would sadden me

most deeply.

That was for you.
It was park memorial.

Hmm, what do they want?

To confirm
your appointment.

- Okay.
- For what?

Just my annual
check-up.

Mom, I think
I want to go to asu.

Asu?

Isn't it a little
late to apply?

I already did.

I was accepted into
the nursing program.

Did you tell your dad
about this?

No, I just...

I didn't want to
get you guys worked up

if I wasn't
gonna get in.

Honey, we saved
up for the u.

There's a big difference
between $5,000 in-state

and $20 or $25,000
out-of-state at asu.

I know.

I don't understand,
Sarah.

What's going on?
When did this happen?

Don't you think that
with everything going on...

the trial,
with Nicki's family,

three wives, cops,

court TV,

maybe it would just be
a little bit easier for me

to just blend in
in arizona?

Does this have
anything to do

with your father
dating again?

Or the fact
that you seem

so completely
comfortable with it?

Amen.

You will bear your husband
many more children.

Thank you, papa.

Could you leave us
for a moment, Nicolette?

It's okay.

Thank you, darling.

Long time no see.

What do you want?

Many of my accusers
have recanted their lies.

I came here for Nicki.

I won't have anything
to do with your trial.

And I have learned
the identity

of one of my two
remaining accusers.

Rhonda volmer.

Well, Roman,

are her
accusations true?

Certainly not.

She's an opportuni.

And she presses a civil trial
against me as well.

And the other women?

Their allegations
of accessory to...

I have never suborned
coercive copulation.

Never.

I have counseled
obedience

and I have helped wives
find harmony

with their husbands.

Glad to hear it.

I want you to find Rhonda
and bring her to me.

I'm not your errand boy.

If I can't find her

and convince her
to renounce the lies

she speaks against me,

I will put your wives
and children on the stand

to testify
to her credibility,

and everything that you're
trying to hide about your life

will come tumbling out
in open court.

Don't you dare try to drag
my family into this.

I am an innocent man
defending himself.

You come at me, I will do
everything in my power

to see you locked up for
the rest of your life.

No, you won't.

You're a good man
devoted to his family

and you will do anything
to protect them,

even become
an errand boy.

And if I don't help
him find her,

he's gonna put you and the
children on the witness stand.

He can't do that.
Well, he can't.

This trial is a cesspool
and it's pulling us in.

No, you've got to
do something,

I don't care what.
This is madness.

These are our children

and I won't let them be pawns
in the hands of Roman Grant.

I'll talk to Lee Hatcher.
I'll figure something out.

In the meantime,
I'm doing everything I can

as fast as I can to get
our interests out of Utah.

But we've gotta
tighten belts.

I'm pouring a lot of money
into the casino.

- I mean, just that model
alone... - that model cost $18,000.

Weber corporate accounts
doesn't have it.

Then we're just gonna have to
take it out of personal funds.

From where?

Sarah just announced that she's
been accepted into arizona state.

- We didn't save for an
out-of-state school. - I know.

We have got to move forward on
the casino. We have no choice.

This whole thing could come
crashing down on us.

This trial is toxic.

The atmosphere's
poisonous.

We've got to protect
ourselves from the fallout.

You better get ready.

Ana's gonna be here
in half an hour.

- How'd the blessing go?
- Fine, Margene, just fine.

I'm sure when all
is said and done,

I'll match you
baby for baby.

So just drop it.

Nicki.

Do you really want
to have another baby?

Because even though
it is your turn,

you can be
honest with me.

It is my wifely duty to bear
as many children as I can

toless this family
and bring everlasting glory

to my husband
in the afterlife.

I thought we could have a
serious conversation about this.

I am serious.

Dad, did mom tell you
I got moved up a rank?

I'm the flag-bearer
on Friday.

I'm gonna be running
the whole show on my own.

- No, she didn't.
- I did tell you.

I said I could go
but I thought you should.

Oh, crud, Ben,
I'm sorry.

It's cool.

Mom's fine.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Who is your cute-
but-tortured friend?

He's my uncle franky.

He left the compound
two weeks ago.

- Shut up.
- Meet your first suburban predator.

- Shut up.
- We were just debating

whether dad should be
sent to social services

for choosing to marry
a fourth wife

instead of sending
his beloved daughter,

who would be me,
to college in arizona.

Well, he's entitled to
build his family, isn't he?

My ward
has outreach services

and relief society has
clothes and a food bank.

Hey, let opie breath,
bang bang.

Hi, I'm Donna.
Take me out.

Donna, Heather!

So you girls are allowed
to date before you're placed?

We even have sex
if we feel like it.

You know what sex is,
right, opie?

Yeah, we had large
farm animals

on the compound,
so we got the idea.

I don't know
where it came from.

I just started telling him
about the machines

and he said, "maybe one or
two." then I said, "why not 20?"

Then he laughed,
then I laughed,

and he said,
"let me think about it."

And I said, "no.
You can decide right now."

Nicki.

Well, it's the fifth time
we've heard this.

Nicki. At first
I was like, "no deal."

But I refused to leave
until he agreed to 15.

Bill, you talked
to him later.

You know how good I did, and
I can do it again and again.

I think I finally found my
calling... sales associate.

- Margie.
- So, Ana,

how many times a year do they
give the dental hygienist exam?

- Twice a year...
october and may. - Oh.

This was so delicious.

I'd serve it
with bordeaux.

You like nice
French bordeaux?

Actually, I've never
tasted wine.

Margie, I think you're neglecting

the calling you were
already called for.

Our devotion to our children.

I mean, what are we gonna do about
who takes care of them anyway?

We'll figure it out.

So far, figuring it
ou means you go waltzing off

and I'm stuck
and late for work

and Barb is late
for her class.

I mean, this is just me
being honest with you.

Well, I'm sorry about that.

Well, what are
we really gonna do?

We can hire a babysitter.

There are
three moms here.

I mean, hiring a sitter is
the last thing we should do.

I mean, we should be able
to take care of our children

with mothers to spare.

Has anyone seen
any good movies recently?

I'm sorry, Ana.
Four years ago

I was your babysitter.
Remember that?

When you were low man
on the totem pole

and needed my help?
Bill?

We'll work it out.

Maybe this just isn't
the time for you and weber.

I just have one more
semester at the u.

And we all discussed it
and we all agreed

that it was Nicki's
turn to work.

My job is very important
for my self-esteem, marge.

She's finally trying
to assimilate

and that's so very
important to u

excuse me.

- Margie.
- Bill!

Don't worry.
We'll work it out.

Come on,
you're my lucky charm.

There's another meeting
with Jerry tomorrow.

I need you to pick up the architect's
model and bring it to the office.

And be sure to wear
that red dress.

You know the one.

Did you have
enough to eat?

Yes, plenty, thank you.
It was very delicious, Barb.

Would you just excuse me
for a minute?

I can't believe you picked
this moment to be sour

in front of Ana.

You started it, marge.

I mean, all you could do
was talk about yourself.

I was sharing a story.
It's what you do on a date.

You know, I don't
have time for this.

This is a pain in the neck.
We're a family.

We don't date.
This is all your fault.

You could've
stayed in your place

and let Bill go out
and do the heavy lifting,

but no, you had to
get us all involved.

This was supposed to be
a romantic evening.

Well, it wasn't, was it?

This is our chance
to get to know her,

to make an educated decision,
to have our say.

Well, I don't see why we
should have to bend to her.

We're a catch. She
should take us as we are.

Here.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, here you are.

I'm sorry.

I know this isn't
what you expected but...

we've never dated before.

I see.

Ana, we don't really
know how to do it,

but we'll get
the hang of it.

Bill, it was fine.

Have a biscuit.

- Alby.
- Joseph.

We have a problem.

Your wife came to see me

and asked me to have kathy
removed from your home.

- Wanda spoke to you?
- Yes, she was disturbed.

Well, she didn't really
mean anything, I'm sure.

She threatened to harm kathy
if I didn't remove her.

Wanda sometimes has trouble
resolving conflicts.

Two of my witnesses
are gone.

I can't lose kathy.

If you can't
control Wanda

and keep her in harmony,

I will send her
far far away.

Leave my house.

Ooh.

I'm sorry I'm late. It was
heck getting out of the house.

- Is Jerry here?
- All ready.

Ready to go.
Here we go.

Let's get this show
on the road.

Let me get a pen.

Uh...

stupid, stinking drawer.
I can't do anything right.

Margie, honey,
do me a favor.

Take the model
into my office.

What?

You can't go to
a meeting like this.

I'm fine.

Pull yourself together.
What's the matter with you?

I will not
pull myself together.

Then go home.
I don't want you here.

We're in the middle
of an important deal

and you're acting
like a complete jackass.

Margie and I
can handle this.

Oh, great, she's your
new partner now?

We need this casino.
We need it.

If you can't
work with me,

if we can't work
together anymore,

maybe we should think
about parting ways.

A 50,000-
square-foot facility

set on two
and a half acres,

restaunts,
kid's attractions attached.

I like it, Bill.

I do.

But honestly,

I'm wondering if this is
the right time for us.

It's a slam dunk.

A Mormon-oriented casino
an hour-plus from salt lake?

What's changed?

Look, your d and b's
check out.

Home plus is a solid,
conservatively run business.

But you
and your partner...

don's participation is not
relevant to this deal.

The time is now, Jerry.

You mean when there's
a big trial coming

and polygamy's
on the front page

of every paper
in the country?

We've waited seven years

to find the right
relationship.

We can wait a few more.

Wait, I don't think
that you understand

where Bill's coming from.

My husband has three wives
and eight children

and he's constantly pulled
in all directions.

- Margie.
- And I've never known a man

who's kinder, more even-handed
and compassionate

under incredible demands
and stress.

It's just who he is.
But I don't think it's fair

to tar him with the abuses
of polygamy.

- Margie, that's enough.
- No.

Let's just put this all
out there on the table.

Because if that's
what this is,

if that's what
this is all about,

then that's just prejudice

and bigotry.

That'd be the same as
dismissing you as a dirty indian

or some drunken,
lazy redskin.

I said my piece.

Let's not push it.

I just said the truth.

Sometimes the best thing
to say is nothing, Margene.

What have you
gone and done?

Peg. Peg.

What the heck's
going on with don?

You're not pressuring him with your
feelings about gambling, are you?

Don't assume you know
my private feelings, Bill.

Iook, I'm sorry
but you're wrong.

Everything could crumble.
We're vulnerable.

Weber's less vulnerable.
That's been my strong opinion...

drop it, Bill.

I'll follow you all the way
home if I have to.

Oh, Bill,

Vernie and jojo ran off.

Ran off?
Together?

They took their kids,

our kids, don's children.

I don't believe it.

As of a week ago,

don and I are
sadly monogamous.

So our problems
are pretty immediate,

so back off.

- How you feeling?
- How does it look?

I won't have an answer

until the biopsy
comes back from the lab.

But you have a sense
of how it looked I'm sure.

There's no
official diagnosis.

We have to wait until the
pathologist reads the sample.

Do you have someone here
to drive you home?

I feel fine to drive.

I know but it's the rule.

You can't be released
without a ride.

I'm so sorry.

You're a good man, don.
They'll come back to you.

But if they don't?

I have no rights.

I can't go to the courts.

Can't see
my little boys or girls.

I'm not gonna
get through this.

Why didn't you
come to me?

I feel so embarrassed.

I failed as a man.

No no, you didn't.

Our heavenly father
has a plan.

You have to have
faith in that.

And you'll fight
for your children.

No, our lawyer
said to drop it.

If I fight,
they'll say we're a cult,

that we brainwashed
and abused them.

I can't en
claim my own children

without fear of arrest.

What kind of world
are we living in?

Yeah, hi, Barb.

I can't talk right now.

We don't know
anything yet.

Well, we're gonna
make it through this.

Seven years ago,
I felt alone

and frightened of dying,

but I'm not
afraid anymore.

Now I'm part
of something strong.

Just look at what
our family's become.

You're right.

But we have to
keep growing

no matter what.

That's why... Ana.

If she's
the right one for us.

I don't know her
well enough

to be sure
that she's a right fit.

She does seem to have
a good head on her shoulders.

It gives me
great comfort

to know what heaven
will look like

and who our family
will be there.

Don't tell anyone,
not until we know more.

This life is nothing
compared to what comes next.

I thought you could use
a good home-cooked meal.

Look at you. Oh, you just give and give

and don't know
how to stop.

Well, let's eat
some right now.

So, what brings you here?

Well, I worry about you
out here alone in this van.

I'm very resourceful.

This is how I grew up.

Bill wants me
to have another baby.

Well, you really should have
had more by now, Nicolette.

I saw how having so many

hurt your relationship
with papa.

Not true.
The more children,

the higher I rose
in his estimation.

Honey, our real power
as women is our ability

to bear our husbands
large and robust broods.

But you did resent us

for making you
more mother and less wife.

Are you deliberately
not having babies?

You are, aren't you? You
were raised better than that!

I'm just worry Bill's
spread too thin.

If you're letting a desire
to have a relationship

with your husband stand
between you and your duty,

you're on the path to ruin.

Your problem is you've
never wanted to submit.

Let's face it, you've always
been a little bit selfish.

Why are you massaging that
bird's anus with a q-tip?

He's got a pasted vent.
He can't poop.

Oh.

Honey, might you tell me
from where you made

the purchase
of that bird

in case I might want one
for companionship?

What do you want?

I came to introduce you
to your new sisterwife.

This is jodean.

All the other old ones
are out in the car.

Hello, sister Lois.

Show her
what I bought you.

I treat all
my wives with respect

if they're
deserving of it.

I look forward to the chance
to get to know you, sister Lois.

I can come by and make you
lunch sometimes, if you'd like.

Hmm.

Get out.

Both of you!

I'll be right out.

You see that?

You see how she listens?

You are gonna
learn to listen.

And you are gonna
come to respect me.

Anyone can marry a whore
and get her respect.

You!

Falling from
my fond esteem

is not what
you want to do.

Just do me in and get it
over with, Frank.

You k*lled my heart
and my soul 30 years ago.

You will be
in harmony with me.

Just do me in,

you miserable man.

Do it. Do it.

Stop! Get back!

Get back! Stop!

Ah!

- Hello, Ana.
What's up?

I know it's last minute,
but I can't make dinner tonight.

Please tell everyone
I'm sorry.

A shift came up at work
and I promised I'd cover.

It's almost 7:00.
It's too late for a shift.

Ana, talk to me.
What's going on?

- They don't need me.
- Who?

You know, your wives.
They have no use for me.

That's not true.
You've just gotta dive in.

You can't hang back
in these kind of situations.

You gotta make room
for yourself at the table.

There is no room for me
in those houses,

in those lives for me.

This is new
for all of us, Ana.

We're just all trying
to find our way along.

Well, maybe I just
won't be any good at it.

- Ana, just come over.
- I have to go.

Where's Barb?

She's upstairs.

Nick, I need
to tell you something.

Barb had some tests
at the hospital.

What for?

She had four lymph nodes
removed for biopsy.

She might be
having a reoccurrence.

Oh no, Bill.

We'll have the report
tomorrow. It's going to be okay.

Don't, Nicki, don't.
This has to stay between us.

Not Barb, Bill.
No.

Nicki, please. She doesn't
want anyone to know.

She wants to tell you
herself when she's ready.

I'm as afraid as you are, but
we have got to stay positive.

Oh, there you are.
Ready to start dinner?

You bet.

Ready.

I want to talk to you
about something.

Sure, Barb,
whatever you need.

This is a sensitive
subject, I know.

But we need
to talk about it.

Yes yes. It's...
it's all gonna work out.

What are you
talking about?

What are you
talking about?

Margie and I are going with
you to the fertility clinic.

Do we have to talk
about me now?

It's all right.

We haven't given
the blessing enough time.

Nicki.

Fine.

I'll get the day off and
I'll make an appointment.

You don't have to.

I made an appointment
with a specialist

tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.

He sent away my son.
He sent away my franky.

- He's deader than a doornail.
- Hush.

He's still breathing.

Now I know what you endured
when Bill was driven away.

Are you finished?

What have I done?
What have I done?

I'm gonna be cast out.

Frank is my husband.
He's my priesthood holder.

Get out to that car

and get all of them
out of here.

What do I tell them?

Frank is staying
here for dinner.

Pork chops.

We all crash here.

One of the older guys
started renting it.

He was kicked off
a few years ago.

Come on. Let's just check it
out and see what it's like.

We started calling
it the "butt hut"

because of that couch that
your mom and dad gave us.

You can't fit
one more butt on it.

Okay, so you guys
just all live here

on your own without
any supervision?

Fun.

Serious delinquency.

Hi, franky.

Charlotte and charlene. Their
mother took them and ran.

They're just counting
the days till they're 18

and can move back
to the compound.

You're wicked.

You're satan's tool.

Dude, that's herpes!

Ugh, gross.

Sarah, I think those two boys
on the sofa are doing like meth

or heroin or uppers
or something.

Shhh.

- Are you Sarah?
- Bow, man. She's a queen.

There's some guy out front
who wants to talk to you.

What are you
doing here?

I, uh... I followed you.

Are you stalking me?

Look, hey.

They have radio stations
and jobs in arizona too.

You know, I can... I can
see what I can get in phoenix.

But you wanted

a promotion at your job.

You wanted to get
into the newsroom.

Sarah, we can build
a nice life together.

You know?
So I will go

where you want to go.

I'm sorry, I just don't
think that will actually work.

Aren't you listening?
I said I'd go with you.

Why are you
being this way?

Because I don't think that
you're the right guy for me.

I'm not in love with you.

Wow.

You know, I just
don't... I don't get it.

You know, you're
choosing the family

that you've been complaining
about ever since I met you.

I mean,
what is this place?

You know, I thought
you wanted to be free.

You know, I threw
you a lifeline,

but you're just
throwing it away.

You okay?

Um, not so good.

Sarah, Ben, you have to
come see this right now.

Come on.
Come on.

I can't believe it.
It's the rat's nest.

It's granny's house!

It's like she's
in love with herself.

She's lost her mind.

- You know Rhonda?
- Yeah, kinda.

- You know her too?
- She stayed with us.

She's not that bad.
She's okay.

Wait a second,
are you and Rhonda...

- are you?
- No, not exactly.

This is too perfect.

You have a crush
on granny's boyfriend.

Wish I could come
with you and make amends.

I know I could fix things.

I know Jerry likes me.

Honey, I've got to see Jerry
alone if this is going to work out.

I just wanted
to be invaluable.

At least semi-invaluable.

You are, sweetie.

You're invaluable to me.

I couldn't do anything.
I...

I couldn't have anything
if you weren't.

Maybe I just have
some more to learn.

It was just
a rookie mistake.

How do I look?

You look like
a million bucks.

Jerry.

I need to speak to you one
more time before you go.

First off, my wife said
some things yesterday...

I thought about
what she said.

About the bigotry.

There was
some truth to it.

We have too much in common
to let this fall apart.

What do you think
we have in common, Bill?

Your people were forced
onto reservations.

In a way,
my people were too.

We're both trying
to improve the lot

of those we love
and maintain a sacred life

in the midst of a culture
that's forgotten what's holy.

It's an unlikely partnership,
yours and mine.

We both have
a shared history together

that needs mending.

Let's mend and prosper
at the same time.

Look, I'm not Vegas,
I'm not glitzy.

I'm just a regular guy
trying to support my family.

Miss Grant?

The doctor's
ready to see you.

Good luck.

Barb...

before you married
me and Nicki...

did you and Bill talk about
how many children you wanted?

You know, on your own?

I guess I always thought
we'd have six or seven.

Now I'd have had Bill's
children for as long

as our
heavenly father wanted.

Losing the ability to give
that to Bill was quite a blow.

But sometimes,
as you know...

the choice isn't ours.

I've decided I need
to do that same thing.

I need
to be a mother now.

And sometime
in the future,

I'd like to do something
that has to do with sales.

But only selling
something I believe in.

- I think... - it's okay. You
don't have to say anything.

All set.
Iooks good.

How long does it take for
birth control pills to wear off?

You're on birth control?

- Yes.
- How long have you been on them?

For a few years
and then I stopped.

But I think I might have
damaged myself permanently.

How long ago
did you stop?

- Three days.
- You're fine.

In a month or two you
should begin ovulating again.

Miss Grant, I don't
have many patients

who come to see me
for fertility counseling

who are actually
on birth control.

Do you want to have
another child?

Yes.

You do know
it's your choice?

No, it's not.

I've never had
a choice ever.

I've always been told what
to do and I've always done it.

- Always.
- You can be completely honest with me.

Do you understand? Because I'm
sensing some confusion here.

I want to have children.
I'm not a monster.

I want to do my part.

I love children.
I love being a mother.

It's important to me.

Do you want me to write you a
prescription for more birth control pills

for the time being?

Yes.

I want to move weber from
strictly sales and leasing

to actual profit-sharing
with the users.

And with Jerry's land
and the federal incentives,

we won't have to
leverage a thing.

It's perfect.

A perfect high-reward,
low-risk investment.

His tribal council still
has to vote to authorize.

They did.

There you go, son.

Go on.
Go with your brother.

I think I know where we
can get the loan from too.

I want to go to the same bank
that pours the money into Vegas...

garnet national.

Of all the so-called ironies,
a Mormon-run bank.

They'll look
into you, Bill.

That's why I want you
to apply for the loan.

You're the most creditworthy
monogamist I know now.

I could do this
another way,

but you're my partner
in all this, don.

You gotta be protected too

so you can
rebuild your family.

This is it, don.

This is the solid foundation
we've been looking for

to build our earthly
and celestial kingdoms.

Hey, mom, it's me.

I wanted to share
something with you.

I got be at a public event
with all my boys.

We were all able
just to be together.

Well, that just
makes my day.

I'm awfully glad
for you.

Things are getting better, ma,
little by little.

All things come
to those who wait.

Hey.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

- Is it just us?
- Just us.

We came by
for an indoors picnic.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Look who's here.

Margene, grab that end.

- Welcome.
- That's great.

Whoo!

Hello?

No, you're not
interrupting.

Thank you, doctor.
Thank you so much for calling.

Uh-huh.
Next year.
