05x08 - The Noose Tightens

[bunniefuu]

Thousands of devout Mormons are shunning
our stores like a leper colony.

We need to cash out
while we still can.

They're a good family, bishop.

They don't deserve to be singled
out by the entire city.

Perhaps you'd feel better
if you unburdened yourself.

I'm worried about you
and this Goji business.

You have more faith,
hope and charity

in your little finger than
I've got in my entire body.

But you open yourself up to people
who might take advantage of that.

Your teacher certainly
has a crush.

What do you mean?

I see the way
he glances at me.

It comforts me,
Bill Henrickson,

that you will burn in hell.

Alby's already led you there.

What would your flock do
if they found out

their Shepherd had lain
with another Shepherd?

I guess the
real question is,

what kind of man are you?

By the power vested in me

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

Could you step outside?

We believe you possess information
pertaining to a statutory r*pe.

It's cold.

Can you watch them for me?

Barb and Bill are still
at the attorney's.

What are you making, Margene?

You had breakfast.
Don't act like I didn't feed you.

Go sit.
Where'd your mom go?

Down to the compound.
She got an urgent S.O.S. before dawn.

Oh, hey, wait wait.

How's Gary?

- He's good.
- Yeah?

- Thanks for asking.
- I don't see him much anymore.

He's so busy at school
and at work.

How's tutoring?

It's going great.

I'm filling out an application
for a math intensive

in Boulder over spring break.

How's Mr. Ivey?

He's good too, I guess.

Is there something
you're trying to ask me?

Should there be?

No.

Look, there is a lot
going on right now.

I want to make sure
there's nothing else

I need to worry about
on the horizon.

I understand.

There isn't.

Is she in trouble?

Wash your hands
if you're eating again.

They asked how Margene
came into the house,

whether I interviewed her,

if we issued a 1099,

and a million questions
about her age.

And I-I said
I wasn't sure.

Without a credible basis
for suspicion,

they can't just haul
anyone in for questioning.

We can get the whole thing
thrown out.

No, they did nothing wrong.

This isn't North Korea.

They're using Barb
as a warning sh*t to me

that they're coming after me
if I don't shut up,

stop saying we're Mormon

and go back into
our little box.

It's not just about you.

Well, who the heck else
is it about?

Barb.

You have become

a person of interest as well.

For what?

Procuring.

Like Brian David Mitchell
kidnapping Elizabeth smart--

they charged his wife Wanda
Barzee with accomplice to r*pe.

Pretty much
the same thing here.

Barb, slow down.

Procuring.

It's ridiculous.
It's-- it's preposterous.

Yeah, well,
Lee's face didn't look

like he thought
it was preposterous.

I didn't hear Lee say he
thought it was preposterous.

They're cowards.
You know that.

When they can't win by
bullying and intimidation,

they fold their tents
and go home.

I am a woman of deep
and abiding faith

who has tried to lead
a righteous life.

And now I might get
indicted for procuring

and accomplice to r*pe.

You'd better hide the drano,
Bill, 'cause I might drink it.

Listen to me.

They are not gonna prosecute.

I am a sitting senator.
It draws too much attention

to the very thing
that they want to go away.

Just hold tight.

Get in.

What's wrong?

I can't do it.

We've all been warned
not to talk to you.

Because I'm here
bringing the truth?

If he finds me,
he'll lock me up.

Your husband is not gonna
find you at the shelter.

How do you know?

Because Safety Net has
helped other women escape.

I have told you all this.

No.

I changed my mind.
I'm sorry.

Look, I was
just like you--

scared, trapped,

no better than a sl*ve.

Look at me now.

I'm legally married.

I have nice things.
I live in my own house.

Don't you want
a life like mine?

Then get in the car.

Hi, Carl.
Everything okay?

Uh, no.

Not particularly.

It's about Margene.
I need you to talk to her.

What about?

Pam is knee-deep in that
Goji racket of Margie's,

and I'm trying
to get her to quit.

And Marge keeps
telling her to stay in.

Pam hasn't made a dime,
and Marge keeps feeding her

happy talk about hanging in there.
It's not right.

And you need to do
something about it.

I need to do something?

I'd talk to your husband, but he's
too flippin' important these days.

Please help.

I'll see what I can do.

Can I talk
to you for a sec?

It's about our future, Don.

Something's come up,
and it's not good.

I think I need to make some
changes in my life too, Bill.

Okay, what kind of changes?

Peg took me to see
a doctor yesterday.

Are you all right?
What is it?

It was a psychiatrist.

I started spending
a lot of time

in my backyard alone
in my bunker.

I sleep in it.

And I take these--

ativan--

to get out of the house in the
morning, to calm me down.

Don, buddy,
why didn't you tell me?

What can I do?

I can't cope very well anymore.

Well, let's get you
some time off,

do whatever we have to do

to get you back
on your feet again.

Don?

I got an offer to sell
my share of the business.

I don't know
how to tell you this.

The buyer is Albert Grant.

Sell to Alby?

Don, he tried to k*ll you.

I don't know what to do.

The shares are worth 35.
He offered me 80.

I don't care what he offered you.
You can't sell to him.

He called me three times.

His banker came to see Peg.
The stores can't make it, Bill.

How could you even think
of doing such a thing?

It's not a betrayal
if you sell out too.

You're being tempted
by the adversary, by Satan.

Have faith in us, in me.

I can't take it anymore.
I have to sell.

That's James and Jared,
my sister's eldest.

And that's Krissie
on her last birthday.

She's really pretty.

How many nieces and
nephews do you have?

Um, 12 so far.

Oh, that's almost
as big as my family.

Yeah.

Hey, you two.
Sorry to interrupt.

Hello, Margene.
It's nice to see you again.

I told your mom I'd pick you up,
and I got here a little early.

Mind if I watch?

Not much to see.

That's okay.
Pretend I'm not here.

All right, move on
to the next problem.

Come on, let's go inside.

I can't, Ben.
I just-- I can't.

Listen to me.
It's okay.

No one knows it was you.

But I know, and I hate myself.

I feel so guilty.

It's like
"The Tell-Tale Heart".

Heather, you have to come in,

because I can't go
to your house,

not after what
your parents did--

calling the cops.

I only got about two hours
of sleep last night.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's not just about you.

My gram's at a new home.

We're taking turns watching her

until she gets used to it.

Last night was my turn.

Come on.

I just can't.

If this is weighing
on you so much,

then we have to do something.

I want to see Alby.

You're not on the calendar.

Madison?

Open the door, Adaleen.

Think you can run me out of business
if you buy my partner's shares?

Your wife kidnapped
another woman this morning.

Nicki and I have
a vision for this place.

We're not backing down
with Safety Net.

You will when the police
come calling.

We're pressing charges
this time,

for kidnapping
and false imprisonment.

I'm through with you
undermining my authority.

Get out of here.

You listen to me.
Stay away from Home Plus.

Stay away from my partner.

He's not well, thanks to you.

Little by little, Bill.

Madison.

Your nephew says
you had a relationship.

Those baseless charges
were litigated years ago.

You have no proof
of anything.

I do, Albert.

I have a copy of the check
Uncle Roman paid my parents

to get me to keep quiet
and lie.

If you don't back off
my stores,

if you contact Don Embry again,

your days as a so-called
prophet are over.

I have no vision?

I keep peace between
the Greenes and the Walkers

and the insane
warring factions.

I am purifying the compounds.

I do have vision,
yet I get spat on.

Well, it is time for that insolent
suburban shopkeeper to go.

Go where?

To his grave.

And I want you to dig it.

You'll contact him and tell him

that you have information
that is harmful to me,

and that you're willing
to sell it to him.

What kind of information?

- Doesn't matter.
- But what if he asks?

Listen to me.
It doesn't matter.

You'll ask him to meet you.

When?

Tomorrow.

How much are you gonna pay me?

Why is it always
about the money with you?

It's-- it's not.

But I-- I have to
support myself.

I have a wife and child.

You don't understand.
I'll get you others,

ones more supple and yielding,

younger than Rhonda,
more voluptuous,

to receive your seed
and grow your pride.

And $2000.

I need $10,000.

And I want $5000 of it upfront.

I'm not kidding around
this time.

$10,000 cash,

$5000 upfront.

Oh, where are you going?

Oh, I'm-- gotta-- I'm
meeting with my downline.

- How are things downtown?
- Not good. I don't want to discuss it.

Yeah, Bill called.
He said that he wants to have a sit-down.

Yeah, I really just
can't talk about it.

Carl came to see me today.

He's desperately
worried about Pam.

- Oh, she's fine.
- No, Margene.

We're getting stuck in
the middle of a marriage

that is unraveling, which
is not a good place to be.

Oh, you're right, Barb.
Are we done?

No, we're not.
Bill's incredibly concerned

about your involvement
with Goji, and so am I.

He told me and I checked it out.
But I gotta go.

Wait, who is that?

Her name's Ileana.
Nicki rescued her.

All right, Marge, Marge, stop.

I need your attention.

You won't accept
any criticism of Goji.

You shut down
if we ask you questions.

You refuse the facts.

Listen to me.
Goji is fine.

So we're gonna drop this
right now, okay?

Now forgive me,

there's something else
I've got to do.

The tuition for
the program is $2000.

Let's take it
one step at a time.

I can't earn it because I had to
quit my job so you could tutor me.

Well, your birthday's
coming up.

Greg, it's too much.

You deserve to go.

Hmm?

- The pizza's here.
- All right.

Where is she?

She's not here.

Cara Lynn!

She's not here.

Yes, she is.

I followed her
to the courtyard.

And then I lost her.

And then I looked at the
names on the mailboxes

and saw yours.

Now I'm not a math wiz,

but I can put
two and two together.

And those are her shoes.

Cara Lynn!

I know you're here.
Come out now.

You're her teacher.
This is so wrong!

- There's nothing going on. It's not what you think.
- Oh, please. Oh, please.

Honest, really,
we are just having dinner.

- You should be ashamed of yourself.
- I can explain.

No, Greg, don't.

You call him Greg?

Get in the car.

Please, you've got
to understand.

I love her. Cara Lynn said
that you'd be sympathetic,

that if anyone could
understand this--

put your shoes on, get your
coat and get in the damn car!

Don't you ever compare what you
did with me and my marriage.

You are hiding out with an
innocent 15-year-old girl!

Are you crazy?

What the hell
were you thinking?

Margene, if you
could only--

do you have the vaguest
idea of everything

this family is
facing right now?

Just where have you two
good-time gals been?

At the mall.

Where are your shopping bags?

We ate at the food court.
We didn't buy anything.

Margene, Cara Lynn
has her studies

and a big math test coming up.

You're right.
You need to study.

It would help if you thought about
other people once in a while.

And you need
to get to bed soon.

Thank you for not telling.

Don't think for one minute
you're home free.

I just need to think of the
best way to handle this.

I know what you think,
but he's not a predator.

He's devout.
It was his first time too.

- With a student?
- With anyone.

Oh. How long has
this been going on?

- A few weeks.
- It's over.

Do you understand?

Cara Lynn.

Mom, Aaron threw up on the bed.

Okay, babe.

Mom, Heather has something
she'd like to say to you.

I'm so so sorry,
Mrs. Henrickson.

For what, Heather?

It was all meant to be private.

Um, I was seeking
counsel from my bishop

because I was confused,

and so I asked
his advice about--

about what?

I love your family.

And then at Christmas

when Margene said
that she was 16

when she
and Mr. Henrickson

began to-- began--

my bishop

called the stake president,

who called my dad.

I think we'd better go.

Name-- Richard
Kimble, doctor of medicine;

Destination--
death row, state prison.

But laws are made by men,
carried out by men.

And men are imperfect.

Richard Kimble is innocent,
proved guilty.

What Richard Kimble
could not prove

was that moments before
discovering his wife's body...

How are you?

I'm in a bit of trouble, mom.

What kind of trouble?

Marge was 16
when I married her.

Morning.

Who's he talking to?

Lee Hatcher.

I see.
Yeah, I got it. Okay.

All right,
so where do we stand?

They want to speak
to Marge next.

They've issued
a summons for you.

- A summons?
- Tomorrow at 3:00.

A summons means
this is official.

They're coming after us--
you, me, gloves off.

I'm not guilty.

Neither Bill nor I have anything to
be ashamed of. This wasn't r*pe.

All right, please do
not use that word again.

Just call it whatever you want.
Do not use that word.

Whether it's real or whatever
it is, we do not point fingers.

Why not?

Now that we finally know how this
got out there in the first place--

someone blabbering away
at the Christmas table.

I won't go.
I just won't.

Let them come arrest me.
Let them make me go,

drag me by my hair, I don't care.
I don't care.

They have the supposed hammer
of child protective services.

You aren't seriously suggesting
they'd take our children?

At this point, Nicki, I don't
know what could happen.

What do they even
need her for anyway?

Either they know
she was jailbait or not.

And if they do, our goose
is already cooked.

Well, you watch tv.
It's to get her to turn against us,

to name names, to finger me,

to rat us out to the coppers.

I feel awful.

I wish I could die.

I have no idea how to make this better.
I just--

this family has found
unity in marriage

and divorce and adoption,

and if we have to find it in
the face of an indictment,

then so help me,
we'll find it there too.

You've got to be kidding.

Okay, I need you to help me to keep
this from spinning out of control.

How could you do something
so totally outrageous?

My mom divorced my dad
because of you.

What could you
possibly be thinking?

I am so sorry.
And I am so scared.

You have to tell Margene
to just let this go.

She can't tell Nicki.
My mom would totally freak out.

Who wouldn't?

I'll talk to Marge,
but only because

I don't want
my parents to know.

I'll handle this,
but you have to stop.

- Cara Lynn, I mean it.
- Okay.

Look at me.

This is just
so incredibly effed up.

Why'd you do it?

He loves me.

I'd be happy to give you
a ride to the bus station.

I checked the schedule

and there's one that leaves
for home in an hour.

There you are.

Hello.

Ileana says you're holding
her against her will.

Ileana, how could you
say such a thing?

I'm saving her.

We have way too much
going on, don't you think,

to indulge in this?

She'd like a ride
to the bus station.

What?

Why?

I want to go home.

But the room at the shelter
is ready now.

And social services have paid
the first month's rent

on a great apartment
starting next week.

I think I miss my husband.

You mustn't call him
for at least a week.

All right, Nicki,
you can't save someone

who doesn't want to be saved.
This is crazy.

And this isn't the time.

There is no right time
or wrong time

to save someone in need, Barb.

And it's important to me that our
children know we feel that way.

But she wants to go home.

She doesn't know
what she wants.

Who would?
I am an advocate

for the rights of women who
can't stand up for themselves.

My work on that compound

and in that shelter
and Safety Net

are my life, Barb--

giving forsaken souls
a second chance.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Senator, Michael Sainte
to see you.

Thanks, salty.

Hello, senator.

Heard you were gonna be
up here today lobbying.

Stuart-- my intern.

- Stuart, Michael Sainte.
- Hello.

What can I do for you?

I'd like to talk to you
about the soccer stadium

that Goji's building in Sandy.

We still need our variance.

I'm afraid
that's a local issue.

You're the state senator
from the district.

A nod from you would
certainly help.

I don't think I can do that.

I hope you don't mind
if I'm frank with you.

Well, that doesn't sound
too good, does it, Stuart?

See, I don't believe
in your business model.

Well, that's awfully blunt.

I've heard it's a pyramid.

I see.

Margene said someone
told her as much.

And you know what I told her?
It isn't true.

I've built
a billion-dollar brand

with over a million sales distributors
in over 30 international markets.

You know what else I said?

Her family didn't sound
too supportive.

Don't you ever go telling my
wife we're not supportive.

You got that?

There's a little buzz
going on up here about you.

It's fresh buzz.

People who live
in glass houses--

thanks for stopping by.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Blake,

can I talk to you
about a scheduling thing?

Sure.

I want help on my
Safety Net legislation.

It's locked up
in committee and I--

the police paid me
a visit about you.

What did they ask you?

About your third wife

and what I know about her age.

I told them

I have no information
on the matter.

Can you relay a message
to the church?

If my family and my wives
are left alone

and no charges brought,

then I will resign.

I don't want my kids
to see my wife

charged as a procurer

or me as a r*pist.

Sister Henrickson,

it's so nice to have you
back with us.

Oh, thank you, bishop.

Are you all right?

Would like to come
to my office and share?

No, thank you.

I'm fine.

They'll try to get you to
elaborate, but you don't have to.

Remember, "yes," "no,"
or "I can't recall."

Now what if they ask me
to explain something?

"Yes," "no,"
or "I can't recall."

- Okay?
- Yes.

- Sorry I'm late. - She's never
gonna be able to do this, Bill.

Yes, she will.
Keep rehearsing.

What if gets technical?
Like, what if they ask me

the difference between procuring
and soliciting and befriending?

They won't.

Detective Innis is tough,
but he's by the book.

Why would you wonder
about that?

Because I was awake
all night trying to think

of everything
they could think of,

and I just started
thinking about Ana.

What about Ana?

I know you didn't
procure me, but--

of course I didn't.

And I know you didn't
procure Ana or recruit her.

It gets confusing.

What on earth are you
talking about?

You were the one
who befriended her.

Well, that's not quite true.

You wanted her to marry Bill
so you could have a friend.

Don't mischaracterize
my position.

You did say that, Barb.
And we've certainly established

that you do have a roving eye when
you get lonely in your marriage.

Enough. This discussion
is pointless

and it's over for good.

No, there's nothing
pointless about it.

I'm up for procuring.

I'd enjoy the teensiest inkling

of what she intends to say.

"Yes," "no,"
or "I can't recall."

What if she does talk?

To me, I mean.
What happens then?

What are you saying, Nicki?

Nothing, except I think
I need my own lawyer too--

a different lawyer.

I'm not sure anyone here really
has my best interests at heart.

Lee's been our attorney
for over 10 years.

We have complete
confidence in him.

Not me.

I haven't forgotten
how I was maneuvered

out of the financial privileges that
come with being the legal wife.

Oh, I can't believe
you're going there.

He ripped me off.

And it's easy for you to say.
You always get what you want.

You just got my husband.

And then you went and
got resealed without me.

What, you thought
I didn't know?

You didn't want to participate.

And that absolves you
of the decency

of telling me it was happening?

Because we didn't want
to hurt your feelings.

Stop it.

I'm about to go into the jaws

of a brutal police
interrogation,

and you're supposed to be
reassuring me and preparing me.

Ali said was I want an attorney
who's pro-me, not anti-me.

I'm just stating facts.

Mama, Madison came to me,
not the other way around,

and I introduced him to Bill.

Honey, I don't care
who came to who.

I'm begging you,
get him to go away.

The whole family almost split
apart over that escapade.

Your father and I got your
aunt Ida to send him packing,

and your poor brother
almost k*lled himself.

We are fighting for our lives
on so many fronts.

It makes anything you and papa
faced child's play by comparison.

And there is such a thing
as justice, mama.

And sometimes the chickens
do come home to roost.

Get out of here.

- It's important.
- Mama?

Well, what is it?
I'm very busy here.

Cara Lynn needs
to see a counselor.

She already has
a guidance counselor

and she has a tutor.

She needs to see
a psychotherapist.

You don't what
you're talking about.

She needs to talk to someone
about the death of her father.

She has me to talk to
about that.

I've heard she's been having
problems at school.

From who, her friends?

She has no friends.

Well, if friends are
like your Judas Heather,

she's far better off
without them.

Back off about Heather.

She didn't know
what would happen.

And she will be welcome
in these houses.

You know what, Ben?
We're done here.

I don't believe in therapy.

People have to solve
their own problems.

Cara Lynn's on the college track.
She's fine.

Maybe you're the one who
needs to see a counselor.

She needs help.

If you're too blind
to see that,

maybe you don't deserve
to be her mother.

If you don't find one
for her, I will.

So how old were you when you began
working for the Henricksons?

I can't recall.

Well, where were you
living at the time?

In the wasatch trailer park.

And you were living with...?

My mom.

Margene, when you realized

there was an attraction between
you and Mr. Henrickson,

what did you do?

I discussed it with my mom.

And what did your mom tell you?

She told me Priscilla Presley was
15 when she began dating Elvis,

- and I should go for the gusto.
- Is that a confession?

No, it's not.

Margie, how long
were you working there

before you began
a sexual relationship?

You can call me Margie
all you want,

but it's not gonna change a thing.
I can't recall.

- Who initiated it?
- I can't recall.

- Really?
- She said she can't recall.

Well, then maybe this

will prompt your memory.

That's a copy of your
birth certificate.

So let's start off with
how old you are now,

and we'll just work
our way back.

Please.

Please, this whole thing is
really just mean-spirited.

Marge, look, let's--

let's just forget about the legal
questions for a minute, okay?

On a personal level,

didn't you ever ask yourself
why they wanted you,

why they targeted you?

They loved me.

Because 16, 18--
either way

you were young.

Do you ever think about
how your life might have been

if you'd never met them?

Maybe there's
another life for you now.

Are we finished?

No,

unfortunately.

We're just starting.

Is that you?

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

Have you seen Bill and Barb?

Well, what's in the bag?

She's sneaking off
with something in her bag.

I'm not sneaking.

Yes, she is.

- Cara Lynn?
- You have to tell her.

- Please don't.
- Tell me what?

About Mr. Ivey.

What about Mr. Ivey?

I'm in love with him.

No, it's a schoolgirl crush.

It's more
than a crush, Nicki.

What are you saying?

What does she mean,
more than a crush?

What does she mean?

Who else knows?

Only Ben.

Don't you dare
tell another soul.

I don't want anyone to know
how you've shamed yourself.

Nicki, they say
they love each other.

I said we're not
talking about this.

- Stop it.
- You're hurting me.

Not half as much
as you've hurt me.

You are going to leave town or
I am going to prosecute you.

I'm not going anywhere until you
let me talk to her directly.

Sweetheart, are you all right?

You are not going to
talk to her.

And don't you dare
call her sweetheart.

I'm okay.

I said no talking.

Then why did you bring me here?

Because I want you
to look me in the face

and tell me it's over,
so he can hear it.

- What if I do leave town?
- No.

- What happens to Cara Lynn?
- That's none of your business.

- You can't report him.
- Oh really? Just watch me.

I will be taken away
by the state.

Is that what you want?

Do you want to call even more attention
to Bill and the investigation?

If you cared what I wanted, you
would have behaved differently.

She's bluffing.

Cara Lynn.

Reporting me will only ruin Cara
Lynn's life as well as mine.

I will be 16 in four months, and I
want your permission to get married.

Are you out of your mind?

Never!

After everything this family put
itself through to adopt you?

What is the matter
with you?

You're all smiley and nice and
act like such a good girl,

- and then you do this?
- Nicolette, please.

You shut up.

I have devoted my life
to destroying your kind.

- Please.
- No!

Please don't do this to me.

Please.

They interrogated me
for over five hours.

They had my original
birth certificate.

What about me?
Did they ask about me?

They asked about you and
everything else under the sun.

They asked about child abuse,
how you treat the kids.

They asked about your
relationship to Roman.

They asked about
our access to UEB funds,

whether we were living
beyond our means.

This is outrageous.

Where have you been?

Cara Lynn and I
had to run some errands.

The net just keeps
getting wider and wider.

They asked about
the Greenes and the Walkers,

what I knew about
our relationship to them.

- Well, there is no relationship.
- That's what I said.

They think Safety Net is
a cover for the prophets,

when all we're trying to do
is save wounded souls.

No, honey, we're not
gonna lose the fight.

One way or another,
Safety Net will go on.

I just don't
necessarily know how.

I'll get Lee to find out
fact from fiction,

how much of this is scare
tactics and how much is real.

But you should know I've offered
to resign from the senate

if they'll leave us alone.

After everything

we've given up and sacrificed?

If it'll keep this family
from ruin, Barb,

then there's no other
sensible choice.

Alby's circling the business.

And if I go down,
we're through.

The principle goes back
to the dark ages.

Instead of being the man
that led to its rebirth,

I'll be the herald
of its death.

Nicki, if ever there was a time

to use your influence with
your brother, this is it.

If you can take some of
the pressure off Bill,

you've got to do it.

We're hanging by a thread.

Hey, Nicki,
I need to talk to you.

Verlan?

Well, what is it?

I can't talk long,
but listen to me.

Alby wants to k*ll
your husband.

How do you know this?

Because he told me.

Because he thinks
I'm gonna help him do it.

It's all right.
Don't worry.

He's a coward,
and I'm not gonna do it.

But just be--
be careful around him.

Okay?

You think you can k*ll Bill and
your problems will be over?

Your problems
are only beginning.

Who told you such lies?

Bud Mayberry is a liar.

My husband is considering

resigning from the senate
because of you.

The principle is dying
because of your abuses.

I am struggling
to raise my daughter.

You and your daughter
are whores.

And your husband
is a whoremaster.

We know why Lura
really left you.

We know about Madison.

And we all know
about your friend Dale,

who would rather hang himself

than spend eternity
in outer darkness with you.

You'd better
stay away from Bill

and the stores and our family,

because, believe me
when I tell you this,

we will destroy you.

Thank you so much
for calling me in.

I am so sorry that Bill
spoke to you like that.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity
to apologize on his behalf.

This is isn't about that.
It's about you.

The Latter Day Saints believe
in the power of redemption.

You must be under
a lot of pressure.

Margie, you're
a terrific saleswoman.

It's what you're born to do.

And I hate to meddle,

but when people try

to hold someone back
from their purpose,

maybe you have to ask

who those people really are.

How many friends do you have?

Pam.
One.

And you think that's normal?

I don't know.

I used to have more friends.

But then you married
into your family.

My sisterwives
became my friends.

You sound pretty isolated,

kept too busy,
too tired and confused

to question the truth.
Do you feel that way?

Sometimes.

But I'm a mess right now.
I really am.

And now that you found goji,

your family is fighting
like the devil

to pull you back in.

I believe that this is
a battle for your soul.

Will you at least

think a bit about
what I'm saying?

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I think
you're in a cult.

What's going on in here?

Glory said that Nicki was here

and that you and she
were fighting.

Is this about Madison?

I'm not stupid.
I know you.

I can see when you tense up.

Everything is fine.

You won't hurt anybody?

Not seriously?

No.

Honey?

You talked to Michael Sainte
behind my back.

No, he came to my office
to see me.

Not to talk about me,
he didn't.

And you said all those things to him about goji.
You had no right.

We're just so concerned
about you, Margie.

Oh, I'm pretty concerned too.

Well,

we have this literature
we want you to look at.

- It's on cults.
- Oh my God.

No, it sets it all out.
You judge for yourself.

Does this organization
separate you

from your family and friends?

Is there no tolerance for
questions and critical inquiry?

- Please don't. Please don't.
- Or is the group's leader always right?

He's says that you're
a cult, that we are.

Us? Well,
that's ridiculous.

We're not a cult.
We're a family.

Detective Innis says
that you recruited me.

And Michael Sainte says that now
you're trying to pull me back in.

Pulling you in?
Do you believe that?

- Yes.
- Do you?

No.
I don't know.

Well, you'd better know.

You'd darn well better
figure this out.

- Barb.
- What kind of hold

does this ridiculous
juice have on you?

It's not about the juice.
It's not about the juice.

It's about feeling
needed and valued

and building bridges
in Guatemala.

I mean, that juice
has given me my faith.

That juice has given me
the whole world.

We committed to loving you when you
came into this family, Margene,

regardless of how messy
or painful things got.

It's love you can count on,

no matter how many cans
of that juice you sell

or how many times you have to fall
down and pick yourself up again.

After everything this
family is going through,

largely because of
your actions--

I think I need to be
with my babies for a while.

Is it done?

Five feet deep, like you asked.

The plan has changed.

What do you mean?

Meaning there's someone
else-- an apostate.

Now.

Alby, come on.

I want my five thou.

What's the hurry?

Don't you want
the whole $10,000?

Don't even think of running.

You want your money?

Earn it.

You're not leaving me.

There are tapes of you
reporting to me

about your attempt
to k*ll Bill's partner.

You're part of me now.

Well, we can't do this.

There's no strategy.

We need a strategy.
We're gonna get caught.

No one has ever been
successfully prosecuted

for anything that's ever
happened on Juniper Creek.

You're gonna do it,
and then it's done.

I thought long and
hard about what you said.

And you opened my eyes
to a wider world

than I'd ever imagined.

And I'm gonna live
in that world.

But my family is many things,

but we are not a cult,

and I cannot allow you
to think that.

And I cannot
continue to work for you

when that's who
you think we are.

Salty?

Can I get you something
from the vending machine--

a sandwich?

I'm fine, thanks.

Senator Henrickson,

I am a proud lifelong member

of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints,

but I believe everyone
should get a fair shake.

Hang in there.

Thanks.

Lee, what's going on?

I just talked
to the DA's office.

They're going after you.

Me?

Alone?

You.

For what?

Contributing to
the delinquency of a minor,

spiritual marriage,
statutory r*pe.

What am I facing?

Up to 20 years.

When?

You're a big fish.

I'm sure they want
to get it right,

cross all the Ts.

There's an indictment
panel called.

I would gladly stand trial
and make a stand

on polygamy or bigamy.
That's fair game.

I knew that going in,
but not this.

Not r*pe.

This is a nightmare, Lee.

Yeah, I know.

Hey hey.

Remove the hood.

Remove the hood.

Oh God.

- Alby.
- Shut up.

- Alby, let her go.
- Shut up.

- She's your sister.
- Stop crying.

We can't.
Alby.

Remove the tape.

Do it.

Please don't.

I have no choice.

You do have a choice.

You do, Alby.

Remember that early spring

when papa wouldn't
let us go swimming

because it was too cold?

But we went anyway.

And I waded in too deep

and the current swept me away.

But you ran in

and pulled me out.

Do you remember?

The same blood
runs through our veins

and always will.

I'm the one person
who understands you.

You don't understand me, Nicki.

You can't possibly understand

what I've been pushed to
by the fallen world

and your power-hungry
husband!

Yes, I can.

No, you can't!

I don't want to die.

I don't--

please.

No no no.

This is who we are.

This is who we'll always be.

I don't want
to k*ll you, Nicki.

You're my sister

and I love you.

Lee said the indictment's
coming down.

I'll be arrested.

And, Barb, you'll have
to post my bail

unless I get released
on my own recognizance.

Then we have to start
preparing for the trial.

I could get 20 years.
