The evil men who perpetrated
this most heinous act

are still at large.

But they will not triumph.

We are.

that everyone is turning to

in this moment of need.

Your leaders. We are here.

- Yes.
- For you.

We're--we're ready
to be front and center

as the leaderships
of the church.

I have made a hashtag.
#EliGemsHome.

'Cause we all want Eli
to come on home.

Yeah, we do.

And home sounds
a little bit like stone,

so instead of Gemstone,
it's "GemsHome."

It's #EliGemsHome.

Let's go viral with that.

You do it so--so any photos
you take today

about my daddy,

you just tag it GemsHomes.

No, that's the thing.
It's not even that far away.

It's filming right next door

No.

Absolutely not.

I realize that this is
the worst timing ever.

You know, I really do.

And you know the last thing
I wanna do is let you down.

understanding each other.

You have been wrong,

about a lot of things.

Isn't that right, Jesse?

Yes, your mother is right.

We all know what happens

who murdered and robbed him.

Yes, that's probably
what we're looking at.

One of those things.

Take me there.

Okay, so obviously,
this fellow we're dealing with

is a certified psychopath.

Eventually,
he was bound to snap

and do what he did
regardless of anything we did.

So we did not instigate
anything, all right?

It seems like we did, though.

Well, I don't think it does
seem like that, Chad, okay?

Stop trying to do
a damn power play with me.

I'm not--look, I'm not trying
to do a power plays.

Well,
you're doing power plays.

He's genuinely concerned, Jesse.

He told me in private.

Levi,
when I want your opinion,

I will hit your fucking face
with a wet towel.

Do you understand me?

So what?
You gonna kill his family?

Oh, I don't know, Matthew.

Are you gonna rape his asshole

like you said
you were gonna do?

What?

Oh, I'm just in this by myself?

Huh? Y'all were there.

Y'all said stuff too.

As new leader of the church,
it is my responsibility

to portray strength.

So we're gonna have
to retaliate in a big, big way.

Who in this room has

Raise your hands.

Stage pyrotechnics?

Anybody been a roadie?

Worked in a rock quarry?

Done a fucking science fair

that Daddy's gonna live,

maybe, just maybe,

they'll return
to finish him off.

Wait, you're talking about
putting Daddy in danger again?

No.

Daddy'll be secretly moved
to the compound

with full security.

at that hospital

waiting to greet the assassins
are gonna be me
