( music continues ) - ben:
I'm so glad to be back.
I just want everything
to be normal.
( whispering ) but wait-
you were held in an ostrich pen?
Yeah, it was so intense, sarah.
( whispering ) then uncle joey
confessed he k*lled roman.
What?! - Shh! Dad hasn't
had the chance to tell nicki.
If it's about margene, I know.
- What?
- She got married.
( sighs ) to ana's fiance.
- And mom tried to stop her.
- But dad doesn't know yet.
- Teenie: Sorry, ben.
- * build with bill, build with bill *
building with bill
will get you more... *
Dinner! - All hands
better be washed.
Wayne, turn off your dad's song.
- ( music stops )
- ( baby fussing )
- I like your new jingle, dad.
- Well thanks, ben.
- You know, it is catchy.
- Very catchy.
- You're very creative, bill.
- Teenie: I've been clipping articles,
Helping daddy prepare
for his debate tomorrow.
Ben: Dad, why can't we come watch?
Bill: Because that's what mrs.
Usher and I decided.
( door closes )
( chuckles ) oh, my.
You look great, mom.
- Nicki?
- Nicki-- wow.
- "nicki wow" what?
- No. No, just "wow."
What, barb? Don't you
want to put your 2¢ in?
No. I'm good.
Why can't I dress like
you two if I want to?
It-- it's just a change.
You weren't dressed...
Like that this morning.
I went shopping this afternoon.
Sarah, how did you and
scott like portland?
I don't see what the big deal is!
Don't I have the
right to be normal?
- Portland?
- Fantastic.
We had a great time.
In fact, so great
That we've decided to move there.
( silverware clatters )
We didn't plan it.
We were just walking around.
We saw an apartment,
fell in love with it
And put a deposit
down before we left.
Barb: But, sarah honey,
Do either of you have a job set up?
Actually, it wasn't
a belated honeymoon.
We went because scott
had a job interview.
- What kind of job?
- What about you?
What about my birthday?
We're not gonna leave before your
birthday party. I promise you.
When exactly are you
planning on leaving?
Soon.
Before the election?
Because of the apartment
and scott might have a job.
But he doesn't have it yet.
Pass the potatoes, please.
We always knew this day would come.
This is more than
that and you know it.
You know as well as I do that she
could've given us a heads up,
But she's been sitting on it.
Barb: Well, I didn't tell
you everything either
About what's going
on with the casino.
What, more b*mb scares?
- Kind of.
- Just tell me.
The b*mb scares,
protests and leaflets--
Marilyn densham is behind it all.
What are you saying?
She's in bed with the evangelicals,
Families for a responsible
america and ron reed.
She hired his
ornization to att*ck us.
She hirehim? You can prove this?
Yes, pretty much.
She creates the problem,
then gets herself hired
As the solution.
She hosted a junket with ron reed
For congressman paley in scotland.
How do you know paley's involved?
I don't for sure, but I know
He was with them for
five days in scotland.
This is unbelievable.
A giant scam to deceive us.
Yes, and it worked.
I hired her, bill.
- Barb.
- I'm sorry.
I fell for it.
The evangelica were
mobilizing against us
- I thought we needed her.
- We're in the home stretch
Of the campaign and you
dump this in my lap?
We're barely up by five points.
A woman whose phone calls get
returned by the white house
And the poster boy of
the evangelical right
Now have their hands around
our safety net-- the casino?
Yes.
- You're fired.
- What?
Oh, you're done at the casino.
You completely screwed up.
Wait, bill. I made a mistake.
Excuse me. You defied me.
Great. And I still
have to go tell nicki
That my brother k*lled her father.
( water running )
- Nicki, are you in there, hon?
- Nicki: I'll be out in a sec.
Honey, I've got something
important to talk about.
( water stops )
I'm not going to stop changing
Just because people
can't deal with it.
I'm going forwards, not backwards.
Remember this?
Of course I do.
What did you want
to do to me in it?
Lots.
Don't you like it?
Sweetheart, I love it.
But...
Maybe this isn't the ght time.
We need to have a talk.
Come on, have a seat.
Nick, I understand. I do.
You're sorting through a lot.
I had my own separationstruggle.
I just want to be the woman you
want me to be. That's all.
You already are.
No.
No, you don't understand.
I'm having difficulty, bill,
Conceiving.
I didn't know how to tell you...
Honey? -...But I'm
trying really really hard
And I'm praying to conceive.
Do you believe me?
- Yes, of course I do.
- I'm seeing a new specialist.
He's supposed to be the best.
He's been very encouraging.
I have faith in him.
Hey, whatever it is,
we'll get through it.
It's all right.
It's gonna be all right.
- ( women chatting )
- ( clapping )
I want to thank you
all for coming out.
I'm here, obviously,
on bill's behalf.
You know, there's something
unique about utah women--
We never stop serving our faith,
Our husbands, our children
And our communities.
We do it all, don't we?
And we expect ourselves
to do it perfectly.
We're not always comfortable
With admitting that
we're overwhelmed.
But maybe it's okay
To not feel like we have
to be perfect all the time.
It's all right to make a
mistake once in a while.
And maybe we'd be
better off admitting
We are not superwoman
Instead of running to
our medicine cabinets
For our sedatives and
our antidepressants.
( whispers ) barbie.
Well, we all know what
I'm talking about.
We turn to our prozac,
Our xanax and our benadryl.
( laughs ) we've all
been there, right?
( whispering )
I spoke to brother caleb
about it. - Okay, good.
Nicki: How many more rounds of
sh*ts before I can conceive?
A bit of patience wouldn't hurt.
I know. It's just so hard
to hold onto the hope
When you want it so badly.
The first sh*ts were to mimic
a surge in luteinizing hormone
To cause a maturing of the eggs
and their release in the ovaries.
This is progesterone.
It's gonna prepare the lining of
your uterus to receive the embryo.
- Oh.
- ( chuckles )
( door opens )
That horrible troll toby
needs to be punished.
- It's all right, darling.
- No, it's not all right, j.J.
He's running around
besmirching you,
Claiming that roman was
tryg to reprimand you.
- It's not true, dear.
- I know it's not true.
I would've known if it was true,
Because I knew everything.
And why would he have wanted
to censure you, anyway?
- Just drop it.
- ( gasps )
Hello, nicolette.
Hi, mama. What are you doing here?
I was just dropping my
wife off for her checkup.
So how are your treatments going?
What was your diagnosis?
Ll, we found out that I
have high blood pressure.
Put her on lipitor.
I can manage her
prescriptions myself.
Please calm down.
Please don't overreact.
Why not? - I think
when you've had a chance
To think it all through
and see that this was
You'll understand that what
I did was drastic, yesry,
- But effective.
- It's preposterous!
- I know it's not ideal.
- I come back from mexico
To find out my wife's
married some igor?
- I did it for our family.
- You keep saying that,
But iteems to me this lunatic
idea to nab a new husband
Was made by someone desperate not
to be identified as a polygamist
So she could save her
business reputation.
That's not true!
Just stop! What is the big deal?!
Everyone is running around hysteric,
it's the d of the world.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
It is not real.
It's a paper marriage.
It is not real.
Margie, don't you get it?
You've gone and legally
married another man.
That's real. - But for you to
say that a marriage certificate
Means that I'm more married
to goran than to you
Is to say that you're more
married to barb than to me.
No, don't even try to go there.
I'm not gonna let this be
a big deal. I love you.
I am married to you
and only to you.
- Ah.
- This is just temporary.
You bet it is.
You're either part of this
campaign, this family,
Or you're not. We're done talking.
I've got to go clean
up barb's mess now.
( slot machines chiming )
- ( people chattering )
- ( coins clinking )
- What are you doing here?
- Well, I thought about it
- And I'm going to the meeting.
- No, you're not, barb.
Oh, I am not gonna let you
fire me for one mistake.
And even if you did fire me,
I happen to be on the
board of directors,
So I have the authority
to rehire me.
Both: Sorry we're late.
Good, you made it. Have a seat.
( cell phone rings )
I wanted you all here in
the same room so we could
Settle our differences.
I'm sorry, but I've
got to step out--
A little problem with the cashier.
( chuckles ) quite the
revolving door around here.
- ( door closes )
- bill: Sorry about that.
For those of you who don't know,
this is mr. Ron reed,
President of the f.R.A.,
Families for a responsible america.
This is marilyn densham,
our lobbyist.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
- Miss densham, nice to meet you.
- I'd like to think
I can lead us in a
productive mediation.
- Shall we begin?
- Sure.
Now that we're all here,
why don't we drop the pretense?
I'm sorry? - You know each other.
You're in cahoots.
You're both running
a dog and pony show
- Trying to shake us down.
- ( marilyn laughs )
Barb, what on earth
is he talking about?
You're not dealing with her.
You're dealing with me now.
Not as long as you're ranting
around like a caveman.
Jerry, this is your tribe.
We agreed we're going
to sort this out calmly,
Solve our problems
without escalating--
Solve? Solve what? I don't
know what he's talking about.
Do you or do you not
deny knowing each other?
We may have attended
some of the same events.
I don't know. - Like your
junket last week to scotland?
What of it? I like bagpipes.
What about you?
You like bagpipes too?
I'm not sure what you think--
Let me tell you what I think.
I think you get him to
create problems at our casino
Then extort us to
hire you to fix them.
Oh, really? Is that what I do?
And I think you filled
congressman paley's coffers
So he'll support legislation that
this guy's band of fanatics lobby for.
You're running for office and I could
knock you down like a bowling pin.
Bill: You think so? Well,
try this on for size.
You've both been caught red-handed.
You're about to become more
toxic than a nuclear dump.
Oh, come on.
You're out of your mind.
Well, yes, maybe I am,
Unless you want to stand
trial for planting a b*mb.
I did not plant any b*mb!
And if you repeat that...
I will sue you to kingdom come.
No state senate wannabe
And some madeup little
tribe are gonna frame me.
- You're fired.
- No, I quit.
Fine, but let's be clear.
If there is a single
protester out front tomorrow,
So much as a leaflet
in any car window,
I will expose you and
end your public careers.
Now get out of my sight.
Katie, get my laptop
and all my papers
And let's t the hell out
of this f*cking pup tent.
That was a little
close for comfort.
We got it back into her
office just in time.
It'll take us a day or so
to see if we get anything.
Man: Mr. Grant,
the attorney general's office
Is determined to get to
the bottom of the events
Surrounding the death of mr.
Tomasson.
Now his body was
found in an apartment
On west sycamore drive.
Do you have any knowledge
of that apartment?
No, sir. I do not.
Well, the apartment was
rented with u.E.B. Funds.
As you know, our access
to our funds was frozen
By the appointment of the trustee.
Man: Except for your
operations account.
I know nothing about the
rental of any apartment.
Man: The only other person
with access to those funds
- Was the trustee himself.
- Just so.
Are you implying
That mr. Tomasson rented
the apartment himself?
I am saying that I didn't.
Why would he have embezzled
moneys for an apartment?
I-- I don't know.
Mr. Grant, why does your
demeanor suggest that you do?
* he's a family man
right to his core. *
Man on radio:
And that's the latest salv
In the surprisingly tight
district 8 senate race
That's become a major spending w*r
Between councilwoman
leslie newton usher
And businessman bill henrickson.
The second of their three
debates is tomorrow
And ksl will be--
- ( door closes )
- hey, pam,
Is something wrong with the sign?
I have another one in the house.
Some of us struggle mightily
With our needs for
prescribed medications,
And I don't appreciate ignorant
comments that belittle us.
( door closes )
Hi.
Where's mom?
She's still at work.
It's for teenie's birthday.
I've gotta hide it in the pantry.
Why are you leaving, really?
Because scott got a great job.
I told you that.
It's not about a job.
You're bailing on the
vision of this family.
You're running away.
Okay, maybe I am,
Because you're running for office
And I don't want to be a
part of what happens next.
I don't want to be on that train.
Fine. I just wanted
to be clear on that.
Cheer up. Last week's
cash reports look good.
Barb: Tommy, I just
want to apologize to you
For this whole mess with marilyn.
It's not just your fault.
My father and I voted for her too.
Yes, but you acted out
of good intentions.
I'm not sure I did.
I was angry at my husband
And I lashed out by hiring her.
And I'm ashamed
Of what's ppened because of it.
Barb...
You've done a really good job here.
Don't b*at yourself up.
But if I put the casino,
the reservation at risk
Because of my wounded pride...
Thank you.
This marriage has to be annulled.
Well, I am sorry it happened
while you were far away,
But we had to act fast because
of goran's immigration problems.
Bill: Of course, I wish I
had been told beforehand,
Just as I wish I had been
told you had a fiance
- When you asked me for money.
- For child support, which you offered.
You wanted a baby. I thought
this would make you happy.
- Our baby is a separate matter.
- We were going to be deported.
Just try and see things
from my point of view.
Once I'm elected,
I'll have a certain influence.
I can probably make goran's
immigration problems go away.
Doggone it! Margene is my wife.
I can't share her
with you and goran.
- Why not?
- Because it's unnatural.
- That's why.
- ( laughs )
A man has to know his woman is his.
It's just the way it is.
- Are you aware of what you're saying?
- Of course I am.
A woman cannot have two husbands.
That's just wrong.
How can you say that?
I'm not a hypocrite.
I explained our religion to you.
- I told you all about it.
- I think you're crazy.
You're crazy.
Honey, we asked u to join
us at our wives meeting
Now that you yourself are a wife.
We thought it might be fun for
you to see how we do things.
Okay. - We go over tasks,
responsibilities
And pressing family matters.
What are we discussing today?
We thought we would discuss you.
- And scott.
- And portland.
This is not a meeting
And I'm not going
through this again. - Sit!
We are worried is all.
You just got married.
Suddenly you're moving away,
No talk of college. - You're going
to be all alone without family.
I'll be with scott.
You have been through so
many emotional rough patches.
Running over that indian
then taking her baby.
That's not exactly how
it happened, nicki.
Honey, what do you really know
about this portland place?
I mean, I looked it up.
There's heroin everywhere.
Look. I love you
And it is really scary
moving to portland.
I don't have any friends.
I don't know anybody.
I don't have a job.
But that is what I'm gonna do,
Because I have to. And I thought
That you'd all understand,
Because none of you want
to go public either.
Come on, mom. You've been resenting
Dad's campaign more and
more every single day.
You married goran just
to avoid exposure.
And you--
You're onboard,
And I don't even know
what's going on with you.
I'm onboard because I love bill!
Oh.
It's true.
I love bill.
Bill: One further point on
the issue of bike lanes:
I think that every
company that makes bikes
Should produce a video that
will instruct the cyclists
As to exactly what the
rules of the road are.
Woman: Thank you, mr. Henrickson.
Moving on.
Lately, many people feel
That it's become open
season on family values.
Explain how family will influence
your tenure if elected.
Mr. Henrickson.
There's nothing more
important than family.
It, along with faith,
Is the foundation for
every choice I make.
Fringe groups can
att*ck us all they want,
But in the end we're
not easily fooled.
Leslie: You know,
bill, it's one thing
When the att*cks come
from the outside,
But at a recenteagle fot
Your wife barbara
characterized utah women
As so many weak-minded
drug addicts.
Now I don't want to
make this personal,
But I couldn't disagree more.
My wife would never
say such a thing.
I'm sure that it was something
that was taken out of context.
No, unfortunately, she did say it.
Now maybe it's because she doesn't
spend that much time in utah.
I mean, I believe that
she works out of state,
Running the indian gambling
palace that you own?
Now hold on,
that gaming center provides
Jobs and opportunities
where neither existed.
Yes, but our mothers, our sisters,
Our daughters, our women are
The true treasures
of this great state.
We devote our lives to the
creation of strong families.
Careful. - Tell me
exactly what you said
About utah women
being drug addicts.
I never called anyone an addict.
You said something at
eagle forum. - Well, I--
I don't remember
exactly what I said.
Try.
I made an off-the-cuff comment
About utah women overusing
prescription medications.
Mm-hmm. It's a proven fact.
You can't say that.
You've got to retract it.
Leslie newton usher's
making a big stink about it.
Good. It ought to be addressed.
We are asked to be perfect,
And it is an impossible
standard to meet.
No wonder we dip into
the medicine chest.
There are many things
that are true, barbara,
That we don't go saying in
public for a variety of reasons.
I know you feel guilty
about hiring marilyn,
But please don't dig
your heels in over this.
I made a statement
and I stand by it,
And I don't need a
lecture about my motives.
Fine. I've arranged
An interview for us
tomorrow at k.C.T.W.
- We'll address it there.
- Oh, I don't think
This is a good time for
an interview, bill.
I need to start playing
offense in this campaign.
- I want the whole family there.
- Oh, the whole family?
- Sarah?
- Sarah made her choice.
Mm-hmm, and you've been
freezing her out because of it.
- You and this campaign drove her away.
- ( water sloshes )
I can't-- I can't wait for
this to be over and done.
( knocks ) hello.
Hello, marilyn.
What are you doing at v.S.N.?
Well, I was in the neighborhood
And I remembered you worked here.
So this is shopping tv.
This is it. Just this.
So you were in the neighborhood?
Honestly, congressman paley sent me
To extend his regards to you.
He had such a wonderful
time at the casino.
( whispers ) I think he's
looking for a second date.
I didn't want to give him your
number without asking first...
Unless you're attached, of course.
Yes, I am, actually.
Oh, that's right-- bill henrickson.
I saw you two up at the
casino this morning.
No, not bill. You misunderstood.
Bill is an investor in
my business. That's all.
Didn't you two just
meet at the convention?
That was before... Then,
I mean.
Oh.
Well, how lucky for you.
Well, I will let paley know
that you are not available.
Lovely to see you, margene.
( door closes )
Come on, teenie.
Get the lead out, please.
At the rate you're going,
I'm never gonna be packed.
I don't want you to leave me here.
I know it's hard,
but you'll be fine.
I don't want to be a
public polygamist either.
- Teenie!
- Guys!
I went to l.D.S. Camp to fit in
And I did.
And finally I'm popular.
And I'm not giving that up.
Dad is doing what's best for us.
Ben, after everything
that has happened to you,
When are you gonna
stop defending him?
When are you gonna see
dad for what he is?
I have. He saved me in mexico.
I saw him willing to die for me and
he would do the same thing for you.
You're the one who needs to stop looking
at him like you did when you were 13.
Come on, teenie,
we've got to get home.
Sarah, the campaign and the u.
E.B. Trusteeship
Have dad so stressed out.
And he's too proud
To ask you to be there
with us at that interview,
But I'm not. He needs you.
- Good to have you back, bill.
- Good to see you, roger.
Winston, I know the investigation
Into dale's death has
hard on everyone.
I appreciate your
staying on with me.
You're the point person
for the kansas ranch.
- How's the audit going?
- It's tough.
The books and records
have all been subpoenaed,
- But there's constant stonewalling.
- Well, that figures.
They've been stonewalling forever.
But now that I'm in charge,
it's going to stop.
I want you to go there in person.
Can you free up the next few days?
Sure, I'd love to knock
some heads together.
Good. I've arranged
a contact for you
At the sedgwick county
sheriff department
To get you on and off the ranch.
And I need you to get the
scuttlebutt on what they've got--
New investigations,
possible indictments,
Seal or unsealed,
hearsay or rumor--
I don't care. Something's up.
I'm in the middle of a campaign
and I don't want any surprises.
- Okay, keep in touch.
- Okay.
To our strong, growing family.
To the generations past
And the absent ones yet to return.
To our future.
To this glorious pregnancy
And this stalwart vessel
Who makes it all possible.
Father. - He that d*ed
for us upon the cross
In his last hour
Was mindful of his mother,
As if to teach us
that this holy love
Should be our last earthly thought
From which we should take
our flight for heaven.
Baby doll.
- Mother.
- ( sighs )
Mother.
Oh, spotless woman
in a shameless world.
( whispers ) mongrel.
We are all for protecting family,
And I've seen up close how strong
The women of utah are.
I challenge my opponent,
bill henrickson,
Not to stay silent.
He must denounce his wife's
characterization of utah women
As weak-minded drug addicts.
If you ask me, women are
utah's best natural resource.
Leslie: Mr. Henrickson,
we don't need lectures on utah values.
We live them.
Stop throwing your money
away on silly jingles
And speak to the real issues.
Cindy: They start running tonight.
She sent advanced copies to eagle
forum and who knows who else.
I thought you should see.
Oh. - You brought it
on yourself, barbie.
You shouldn't go running around making
sweeping judgments about people,
Running around like mommy with
your half-baked liberal views.
Bill: She was implying I'm
trying to buy the office.
I'm the little guy.
We're being outspent 2:1.
- We need more ads...
- Oh good lord.
...Featuring both of us.
Fine. I'll retract.
I'll-- I'll retreat, apologize.
You write out whatever
you want me to say
And I'll say it...
'cause I certainly have
no voice of my own.
( classic rock music playing )
( crying )
* you keep saying you've
got something for me *
* something you call love,
but confess... *
( pounding ) albert!
* you've been messing where you
shouldn't have been messing *
* and now someone else is
getting all your best *
* these boots are
made for walking... *
Please. N't turn me away.
* one of these days
these boots are gonna *
- * walk all over you... *
- forgive me.
( panting )
For what?
* yes... *
- ( softly ) your sister's here.
- * you keep lying *
* when you ought
to be truthing... *
I hope you like them.
The clerk said they were very...
Fashionable.
Thank you.
I want you to leave
this place, alby.
Come away with me
and make a new life.
I think it's too late for me.
No, it's not too late.
Look at me.
I mean, it's hard, alby,
But I'm starting a whole
new life for myself.
I just don't think I can.
I love you, alby.
We weren't allowed to say that.
We weren't allowed to
love in that house.
We were punished if we did.
Don't listen to her poison!
There's nothing for
you in that world.
Surely you know that now.
Don't talk to me about love.
You started to change.
It only opens you up to hurt.
( laughs )
There is hope for us.
No, I don't think so.
You have lost your way.
I finally found myself.
No, look at yourself.
Look how you're dressed.
Don't do this.
You want to dress me up in these?
Get rid of the whiny bitch.
You're a disgrace.
So desperate for love.
Groveling like a common,
indecent whore!
( alby crying )
I'm sure you understand we see quite
a few hopeful immigrants marry
An american citizen right before
their scheduled deportation.
Goran: I myself have had friends
Do this kind of thing
in not a sincere way.
Goran and I are deeply in love.
We've been dating for
over a year and--
Oh! I brought photos.
Our last christmas together.
See? You can't fake
that sort of feeling.
Actually, you can.
Why did you decide to get married
at this last possible moment?
Sometimes it takes
having your happiness
Threatened by separation
To make you realize
what's really important.
What's your angle on this?
We're in love.
There's fines and penalties for
attempting a fraudulent marriage--
And deportation and five
years in the penitentiary.
This is not fraudulent marriage.
Barb: I saw you're back.
Here's another square.
You changed out of
your other dress?
Mm-hmm. - Do you need
any help assembling?
No thanks.
Nicki, are you oy?
Talk to me.
Um, it's just a lot is hitting me.
There's so many painful
feelings involved.
Of course there are.
You have to open up about this.
I respect your need for privacy,
But I wish you would talk to me
Instead of keeping it
all bottled up inside.
( sighs )
I remember the first
quilt I ever made--
It was all different birds.
I gave it to my father
And he always kept it
on the end of his bed.
Nicki, I'm so sorry.
I just--
I-- I can't believe
joey would be...
Capable of taking a life.
Didn't bill tell you?
Tell me what, barb?
( emphatically ) tell me what?
Joey!
Wanda, where is he?
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me it's not so.
Wanda?
Wanda, say something.
Why aren't you talking?
What's wrong?
- What happened to you?!
- ( door opens, closes )
J.J., what are you doing here?
( panting ) I'm here to see wanda.
I've been keeping an eye on her
since joey's been in mexico.
She's not talking.
What's the matter with her?
I don't know.
We're all worried. She hasn't
been right the past few days.
It's because of joey.
He m*rder*d my father.
Isn't that it, wanda?
( breathes shakily )
Look. I'm sorry.
- You knew?
- Wanda told me.
I'm glad this truth
is finally coming out.
Joey made her do terrible things.
We have to get her out of here.
- ( baby crying )
- we can't leave her here!
I agree.
I'll take her with me to my house.
No. She's coming with me.
She needs to be with her family.
The walkers take
care of each other.
No, I want her away from here!
Away from joey and
this horrible place!
Come on!
Are you happy now? That's you,
swilling a bottle of benadryl.
This is what's being
handed out on the street.
Well, it's trash.
Honey, you've become
a lightning rod.
Keeping you out of
the casino matters
In what's become an
uncomfortably tight race.
Huh. We open this place
And then you turned it over to
me so you could run for office.
You just shuffle me here, there.
I'm just a moving part,
but I've kept it going on my own.
I've been in over my head,
- But I did it for us.
- I know how hard you've worked.
- Do you really, bill?
- ( door opens )
What are you doing here?
Trying to win against the house.
I'd like to speak
with you alone, bill.
- Well, I'm not leaving.
- And I'll have security throw you out.
All right.
I'd prefer not to do this
in front of you, barb...
But bill's having an affair.
- What?
- Right under your nose.
I saw him kissing margene
heffman right here
In this office.
Please. That was
just a friendly peck.
- That doesn't prove a thing.
- Okay, first,
Miss heffman is selling
jewelry at your convention,
Which I found puzzling.
And then we come up here and
you pretend you just met her
Except it turns out you've been funding
her business for months already.
Which is it, bill?
Oh, and that kiss I saw
was no investor peck.
- I know the difference.
- Now you listen to me.
I am not having an affair.
You must be so desperate to try
and spin something out of nothing.
I've got more than enough
To float this out
publicly and you know it.
And if your tryst with the
bauble princess gets out--
Well, need I say more?
I'm sorry, barb.
You can certainly
talk a blue streak
When it comes to faith and family,
can't you, bill?
What a hypocrite.
- I've been waiting for you.
- Bill: And I need to talk to you.
I've thought about the
situation with goran
And I've decided that we're
gonna let it stand for now.
You changed your mind?
But you can't do that!
Well, you know bill.
He's like the wind--
- Always changing.
- No, bi, I thought about
Everything that you said
and you're 100% right.
I was acting out of
self-interest mostly.
Oh. You're not the only one.
- You're not helping.
- I'm not trying to.
Barb, how can you be for this?
As a matter of fact, I'm not.
I don't like it one bit either,
But it just has to be.
Marilyn's alleging an affair.
- But that's ridiculous.
- Barb: Well, actually,
You two did have an affair--
She just doesn't realize
it happened years ago.
Barb, I said knock it off. - Marilyn
is not going to use this against us.
She knows if s does,
we'll just come after her.
- It's a stalemate.
- You can't possibly leave our fate
To a guess which way a wounded
rhino is going to stampede.
Marge's marriage to goran
Hardly precludes her ability
to still have had an affair.
Barb, this is triage.
It's a leaky boat-- I get it-
but we are taking fire from all sides.
- This is a temporary fix.
- Listen to me!
I don't want to be with goran.
I just can't.
No way. - Bill: We need to
hold on until the election.
We need to fight
back on all fronts.
We have to be the ones who
go public with our story.
The arrangement with
goran will stand.
The henricksons come
together in a crisis.
I need my family to start
acting like a family.
And why are you so suddenly
off staying married to goran?
You've seen him, barb.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes.
You knew that joey
k*lled my father?!
- How could you not tell me?
- Nicki, I'm sorry.
I finally gave you my heart.
You betrayed me.

I-I-I-- I was just...
- Spit it out.
- ...Cleaning.
Let me help you up, my darling.
Roman called you
back to censure you.
That's why he was trying to
get cara lynn away from you!
I am truly sorry for this.
What have you done to me?
I thght I was just making
your dreams come true.
( muffled screaming )
Bill: Nicki.
Sweetheart, listen to me.
The last thing I was trying
to do was hurt your feelings.
Look. I handled it badly.
I'm sorry.
But, nick, you and I need to
be good or I can't do this.
It's just everything's changing.
Sarah's leaving.
Marge married.
It's hard to share margene
with goran, isn't it?
I'm not sharing.
And yes, it is.
I know what you mean.
I don't want another wife either.
No one said anything
about another wife.
Okay.
The thought of another wife
never bothered you before.
That was before.
- Before what?
- Just before.
Before everything got so confusing.
Before I loved you.
Nicki.
I was told I could never
have a man all to myself,
That it was selfish
to even want that,
So I've gone without love.
I don't want to share you anymore.
But nick-- margie,
barb and all of our children,
They're the fabric of who we are.
- I know.
- The principle is who I am.
The reason I'm running
is for the principle.
It's my faith.
I thought it was yours too.
It is. Of course it is.
Just-- someday I want you
to feel the same about me.
Hey.
Of course we'd never leave barb.
Or marge.
- Oh, yeah. ( chuckling ) - whoo.
( goran grunts )
- Who is that?
- Margie: My new husband.
I invited him.
Part of the family now.
He's gonna need to be around.
We have to establish
our relationship.
Hey, ben, let me
spell you for a bit.
Sure.
Play another round?
Okay. You must be bill, huh?
Let's go.
Sure.
( bill grunting )
( goran grunting )
You are playing with fire, margene.
No one's left me any choice.
( grunts )
( both panting )
- ( phone ringing )
- that guy who was called
Mr. Margene heffman the other day--
He's not.
He was just a good friend
who was helping me out.
( rings, beeps )
Hello.
You lied, barb.
He's not. He was just a
good friend who was helping--
Marilyn? - I felt bad
about bill cheating on you,
But you knew, didn't you?
Margene's your neighbor.
You've known her for years.
You knew, didn't you?
I-- I don't want to
discuss this with you.
You lied.
You've been pretending
you didn't know her.
What kind of woman are you
To let your husband
fooled around like that,
That you cave into his appetites?
What kind of message does
that send to your daughters?
You know what?
At first I was angry with you.
Mmm.
Now I think I feel sorry for you,
For the compromises
you've made wi your life.
I know what that's like--
To have trimmed the sails
of your conscience.
I've had to do that too.
There's nothing about
us that's the same.
And you know nothing about me.
Oh, I know some...
And I'm just getting started.
There was no affair.
Margene is married to a lovely man.
They're good friends of ours.
You can say whatever you want,
But we'll deny it.
Good night, barb.
( beeps )
( phone clicks )
( soft rock music playing )
( knocks on door )
Hi. - Dad,
it's 1:00 in the morning.
I couldn't sleep.
Look. If this is
about you asking me
- To come to your interview-
- - it's not.
I brought pepperoni.
How about I help you pack
up some of these boxes
And we eat greasy pizza?
You didn't come over
here to help me pack.
I wanted to give you this.
Something to help you
and scott get started.
$5,000? - I just
wish it could be more.
All right.
Tommy. What are you doing here?
I'm sorry to bother you, bill.
It took two days to unencrypt,
But we got everything
on her laptop.
- What did you get?
- Well, what we thought we knew
Was just the tip of the iceberg.
She's dangerous.
Look. She's screwing all the tribes,
pitting one against the other.
She's actually working with
the nez perce to shut us down,
And at the same time she's
taking our retainer.
She's unconscionable.
This is huge. - That's nothing
compared to what she's doing to you.
She's gotten your tax records,
names of campaign donors,
Home plus corporate filings.
She's out to
personally destroy you.
Thanks, tommy.
- ( tap dancing )
- * meet bill henrickson *
* you'll like bill henrickson *
* he's a family man
right to his core. *
Tancy honey.
Tancy!
Thanks, tancy. That was a treat.
And happy birthday.
Bill, we're sorry your other daughter
couldn be with ushis afternoon.
Bill: She's sorry she couldn't
break her prior commitment.
Now, bill, you're running in a district
that heavily favors republicans,
Yet polls show you've slipped and are
barely even with your challenger.
Barb, your comments
about utah women have
Come to take center
stage in the campaign.
Do you see a connection?
I would appreciate the
opportunity to address this.
I have nothing but
the utmost respect
For my fellow utah women.
But are you prepared to
make an official apology?
No, barb.
My wife has nothing
to apologize for.
She addressed a real problem
and everyone knows it.
Instead of vilifying her, we should
examine the truth in what she said.
It's tough to be a woman out
here in our neck of the woods.
We ask an awful lot--
In sacrifice and in nurturing.
Sorry I'm late.
This is-- this is
our oldest-- sarah.
Kurt: It's nice to meet you, sarah.
You really have a
lovely family, bill.
Thank you. I am blessed.
Hey.
( clicks )
Yes yes yes!
Yes! Now I can play hockey
with you this winter.
- Happy birthday, rathead.
- Thank you.
- Ooh!
- Oh, actually, teenie,
This one's for sarah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Sarah: Me?
Oh...
Wow.
This is from lester from
his tee-ball uniform.
This one's mine.
It's my first recital dress.
That's from one of my old dresses.
Thos are my old pjs.
Ben: That's from
dad's barbeque apron.
Your hot-dog man apron?
Take good care of it.
Sarah: It's so beautiful.
- Thank you.
- ( both laugh )
I'm gonna go get the cake.
( kids laughing )
