[Rocket] Now,
listen to this one.

"The way scum like you helps
people like David Koresh,

I hope all your
children die of, uh..."

sheesh.

Okay. Let's stay
focused here, can we?

[Doug] Why do you insist
on reading that crap?

In case one of these maniacs
puts a bullet in my head

like they all say they're gonna.

Give the cops a
good place to start.

Yeah, I'm not sure
they'd try too hard

to solve a case of the
cop-killer defenders.

- [Rocket] Oh, yeah.
- That's a dark thought.

- Well...
- Shouldn't we be getting

- security or something?
- [Jocelyn] Don't worry.

I'll protect you from those
big mean letter writers.

See, guys? Nothing
to worry about.

Jocelyn's got our backs.

[Doug] Let's get back to it.

[Rocket] Wait.

- Fan mail?
- [Dan] What do you think...

- Really?
- Yeah.

- [Dan] ...about that?
- "Dear fine sirs...

I have been very..." all caps,

"interested in your case
defending those Davidians.

There are lots of people like me
watching to see how this goes.

Thank you for being
such good patriots."

[Dan] Well, this
is nice, isn't it?

Let's see. I'm going bankrupt.

My wife who I haven't
seen in over a month

just filed for divorce.
I'm living in squalor.

I'm getting about three
hours of sleep every night

to fight a losing case
for a bunch of people

who don't even like me,

but when I hear the
praises of adoring fans

like Tim McVeigh,

makes it all worth
it, doesn't it?

Now, can we get back to work?

Tense music plays

theme music plays

[Pappy] You say
you love America,

but would you die for it?

Would you kill for it?

I mean, some things
are worth fighting for.

[people chattering]

[Pappy] I wanna talk today

about making ourselves ready,

emotionally steeling ourselves

for the coming war.

The war against White America!

- [murmuring]
- [Pappy] I want you to picture

what that's gonna
be like. Picture...

the tanks rolling up our drives,

adrenaline coursing
through your body.

I want you to picture yourself
with your gun in your hand

- and your kids behind you.
- [baby crying]

[Pappy] And I want you
to picture that again,

and again, and again

until it become real to you.

So that when the time comes,

you won't hesitate
to pull the trigger.

[baby crying]

[Pappy] Because having the
nerve to pull the trigger

is precisely what...

[whispers] His granddaddy
founded the Nazi party.

- [Carol] No shit.
- [Pappy] ...protect our home...

I'd steer clear of 'em.

He's not the kind of
guy you wanna mess with.

[Pappy] ...to protect our
God-fearing way of life!

We've heard it said that
David Koresh believed

he was preparing,

planning for a great war.

Did he ever express
those beliefs

when he purchased
these guns from you?

I didn't deal with David,

but I was aware of
the philosophy, yes.

Who did you deal with?

I dealt almost exclusively
with Paul Fatta.

And you're referring
to defendant Fatta

seated behind counsel over here?

[man] Yes.

[Bill] Did Mr. Fatta
seem knowledgeable

when it came to guns?

[man] Inside and out.

And how many guns did Paul Fatta

purchase from you?

About $90,000 worth.

[Bill] Exhibit 103.

Can you tell us what this is

and where you found it?

We found it in the compound,

in the chapel.

And what type of weapon is this?

[Ranger Boak] It's
an M-16 rifle.

I carried one in Vietnam

for 11 months and seven days.

Because it's a military weapon

built for war?

[Ranger Boak] That's right.

Now, Ranger Boak,

you've testified about finding
a lot of evidence here.

Tell me this.

Did you also happen to locate
the building's front doors?

No, sir.

Help me out here.

You were able to
find this BIC lighter

but not two seven-foot doors?

No.

Why not?

It must've burned with
the rest of the building.

Burned? Both front doors?

[Ranger Boak] That's right.

Uh-hmm.

[Bill] But in the months
leading up to the ATF's arrival

at Mount Carmel,

what did you observe
regarding their inventory?

We observed a dramatic increase

in their stockpile of weapons.

So, they were buying guns

but not selling them?

[man] Correct.

[Dan] I only have two questions.

In your years of
observation and research,

did the Davidians ever
obtain a weapon illegally?

Not to my knowledge.

[Dan] Okay.

And just one more thing.

In your examination
of all the evidence,

I don't reckon you saw those
pesky missing front doors,

did you?

Lieutenant Caldwell,

could you tell us
what the Mag Bag was?

[Lt. Caldwell] The Mag Bag
was a small tract of land

located on Farm Road
outside of Waco.

It was where Mr. Koresh and
Mr. Fatta received shipments

of weapons,
ammunition, gun parts.

[Bill] And had you had
any previous interactions

with David Koresh or Paul Fatta

that would lead
you to believe...

- Objection! Objection! Approach?
- That was the possibility?

Judge, this is a
transparent attempt

to bring up my client,
Paul Fatta's past,

which is entirely out of bounds.

It's germane to this
case, Your Honor.

- Okay.
- Mr. Fatta and Mr. Koresh

both have a previous charge of
conspiracy to commit murder.

And the fact that he
and his compatriots

tried to kill a
man in cold blood

absolutely informed the ATF's
decision-making process...

You mean your
decision-making process.

When they decided to stage a
dynamic entry into Mount Carmel.

Paul Fatta wasn't even there
when the tanks rolled in.

He wasn't there a single
day of the standoff.

It doesn't matter
if he wasn't there.

And if Mr. Johnston
wants to prove

that there was some conspiracy,

he should do it with
relevant evidence

and not unfounded
accusations from the '80s.

Mr. Fatta is a
defendant in this...

Stop.

I have already ruled
on this, Mr. Johnston.

Yes, Your Honor.

The defendant's previous charges

are not in the
purview of this case.

Objection sustained.

Thank you. Thank you.

You can't keep all your
skeletons in the closet.

Neither can you, fucko.

No further questions.

Your witness.

I only have one question.

You wouldn't happen to
know where the front doors

from Mount Carmel
ended up, would you?

No? Okay.

Dramatic music plays

[phone ringing]

Can I do for you, George?

We're gonna settle this now.

[Vernon] Settle what?

[George] Who's the real prophet.

We're gonna see who
can bring her back.

Bring who back?

My mother.

Your lies put her in the ground.

I just took her out.

What are you talking
about, George?

What do you mean
you took her out?

[George] I dug her up.

You dug up Lois's body?

Why would you do that?

Whoever can raise my
momma from the dead...

will be the next true
prophet of Mount Carmel.

[snickers]

[Vernon] Sheriff,

what do you mean you
can't do anything?

George dug up his
own dead mother!

- It's an abomination!
- Look, Vernon.

I drove by Mount Carmel
after you called.

I didn't see any dug-up bodies.

George told me himself!

Yeah, George says a
lot of crazy things.

Unless you have actual evidence

of corpse abuse or
some other crime,

there's not much that I can do.

Maybe the best course
of action is for y'all

to stay away from Mount Carmel.

Just leave George Roden be.

He's the one that called me!

I think he's fixing
to come after us.

Well, then you might wanna think

about getting something
to defend yourself with.

[chattering indistinctly]

[news reporter]
Mr. Cogdell. Mr. Cogdell.

Do you think it's the doors
that prove who shot first?

I do.

But, but those doors
are also a symbol

for all the
questionable behavior

the Federal government
has taken part in.

Listen, listen.

The ATF shows up
with more cameras

than a Hollywood blockbuster,
but there's no footage.

They lose power at the morgue
so no autopsies can be done.

Christ, they bulldozed
the whole crime scene

and then they bleached
it for good measure.

This is what happens when
you have the architect

of a government raid,

the man who demanded the ATF

go in with a hard entry, also
prosecuting the same case.

[news reporter] You
saying there's some sort

- of government cover-up?
- No, I'm just saying

that Bill Johnston
has a vested interest

in convicting these people,
that's for damn sure.

I heard you with the
press saying I'm corrupt.

That's way out of bounds.

It's called zealously
defending my clients.

You can't win with the facts,

so you're trying
to turn this thing

into a government cover-up,

and you're dragging my name
through the mud to do it,

like I had some ulterior motive.

I sanctioned that raid

because I was trying
to save those kids.

Save those kids with
a forcible entry?

I'm doing my job the
best way I know how.

Now, you don't
agree with it? Fine.

But let's fight fair, Dan.

You want me to fight fair?

You've got the
public, the press,

and the United States
government behind you.

And all I've got is a
booth at the Polo Lounge.

I'm not gonna play with
one-hand tied behind my back.

You want me to shut
up? Find those doors.

[door closes]

tense music plays

Listen, when the prosecutor
starts picking fights

with you in the hall, it means
you're doing something right.

Hmm.

Yeah, yeah, except...

Except what?

You've been watching
the forewoman?

Um...

juror number six?

She's the poison juror.

I can just tell. She's
itching to say the G-word.

Yeah. Well, that's
why we have 11 more

because all you need is one.

Jocelyn, you'd acquit our
clients, wouldn't you?

[scoffs] Hell no.

They're guilty as shit.

Just like their defense lawyers.

Ow. Ow.

Number six, she's the top dog.

- She could sway the rest.
- Listen, don't...

Don't worry about number
six. I'm gonna focus on her.

I'm gonna make her feel
like the prettiest,

most special juror in the world.

[sighs]

Ask Jocelyn if I
can't sweet-talk

the legs off a chair.

Dan, if you were
half as charming

as you think you are,

you'd be the best
lawyer on earth.

- Ooh.
- [Jocelyn chuckles]

Is that flirting?
Is she flirting?

- No, that is not...
- Jesus, Gordon!

God. God! I gotta
put a bell on you.

Think I may have
an answer for you

on those front doors.

Whoa. Is this Mount Carmel?

What is this, Gordon?
What am I looking at here?

[Gordon] This was
taken at 3:55 p.m.,

a couple hours after
the fire started.

And these are FBI agents

loading something into a truck.

Something about the size
and shape of a door.

Yeah, which was so
daggone important

that they had to grab it

while the building
was still smoldering.

[chuckles]

You crazy son of a bitch.

- This is it.
- That's it.

You think these
are the front doors

being loaded into this truck?

I do, Your Honor.

- This is absurd.
- [Dan scoffs]

That's not real evidence.

You can hardly see
anything in that photo.

I could say they're
loading Bigfoot

into the back of that truck.

- It's pretty blurry, Counselor.
- Well,

uh, either way, the
fact that the FBI

was loading anything
into the back of a U-Haul

while a building
is still smoldering

is information the
jury deserves to know.

Your Honor, the defense
has obtained a blurry photo

from a conspiracy theorist who
got it from who-knows-where.

How do you know
where I got it from?

It wasn't in discovery.

Are you spying on me?

- Judge?
- Cogdell,

get ahold of yourself.

Besides,

we have our own evidence
we'd like to submit

which will address
these ridiculous claims.

And what's that?

We found the door, Your Honor.

The door? What door?

- What door?
- Yeah.

The one you've been
asking about non-stop.

The one you claim is gonna flip
this whole case on its head.

We're bringing it in.

Should put your
concerns to rest.

Dramatic music plays

[Bill] May it please the Court,

the government
would like to offer

Government Exhibit Number 728.

Jesus, what a showman.

You hear what he said earlier?

That a conspiracy theorist
gave us the photo?

Do you think they've got
the Polo Lounge bugged?

We found the door in Sector F,

approximately 40 feet
away from the building.

And did you realize
it was the front door?

[Ranger Boak] No, sir.

It was located so far away

from the front of the building

we classified it as a
piece of scrap metal.

And when did you come to realize

that it was the front door?

When we re-canvassed the
evidence warehouse yesterday

at your urging and found it.

Now, does this door

appear to have any
bullet holes in it?

[Ranger Boak] No, sir.

So there is nothing here

that contradicts any of
the earlier ATF testimony

stating that the
Davidians fired first?

No.

Were you aware that
the cult compound

- originally had two front doors?
- [Ranger Boak] Yes.

We re-canvassed for
that one as well,

but didn't find it,
which wasn't surprising.

Why not?

It was still attached
to the building.

It melted when the
building burned.

Objection. Speculation.

The witness has no
first-hand knowledge

that the other door melted.

Uh-hmm. Sustained.

[Bill] All right.

Ranger Boak,

why do you believe the
other front door melted?

Because the doors were
aluminum with foam cores.

And it was subjected
to temperatures

in excess of 1300
degrees Fahrenheit

during the fire.

Aluminum melts at 1200.

And why didn't this door melt?

You see those marks?

They're from the
treads of a tank.

And when the tanks penetrated
the compound entryway,

we believe the door got
caught in the treads

and was dragged to the
place that we found it.

Well clear of the fire.

[whispers] Could you go
get something for me?

Now, Ranger Boak,

you didn't realize that
this was a door initially.

Is that common, to
miscategorize evidence?

It's not common but it happens,

particularly if there's a
large volume of evidence.

Final question, were you
and the Texas Rangers

part of a massive conspiracy

headed by the Federal
government to hide this door?

I reckon not, sir.

[Bill] No further questions.

[Vernon] Sheriff said
we needed proof of, um,

what'd he call it?

- Corpse abuse.
- Corpse abuse

in order to do
anything about it.

Well...

what if we gave him some proof?

Like a picture?

We can't just go to Mount
Carmel and snap a picture.

George carries around an Uzi.

He's...

He's crazy.

I mean, you heard the Sheriff,

he said we might need
to arm ourselves.

So what if we did?

All right.

We'll take, uh,
five of the Rugers

and, uh, throw in some
of them camo suits too.

You got it.

[truck engine revving]

We're here.

All right.

Everybody stay quiet
and stay close.

We're just getting a few
photos and then getting out.

All right?

Tense music plays

[Vernon] Okay. Come on.

[panting]

[gasps]

- [panting]
- [camera clicks]

[George] Vernon!

Suspenseful music plays

No. No, George.

[gunshots]

- [man] Go, go, go!
- [Paul panting]

[George] You're trespassing!

Sneaking around my property!

- [panting]
- [gunshots]

suspenseful music plays

- George, no!
- [gun ratchets]

- [gunshot]
- Ah!

Oh! Oh!

[groaning]

You all right?

Guess you got to
learn how to shoot.

Won't be the last time we
got to defend ourselves.

Suspenseful music plays

[sirens blaring]

Beast is coming.

[deputy sheriff]
Drop your weapons!

On the ground!

[indistinct radio chatter]

ATF agents testified

that the Davidians shot first

and that those shots...

went through the front doors.

But the Davidians have
stated that it was the ATF

who shot at them through
those same doors.

But this door has no bullet
holes in it, correct?

Not that I see.

So it must be the other
door, the still-missing door,

that was shot through and
it would be the other door

that would prove which
side was telling the truth.

Yes. It... it appears that way.

Well, that's bad luck, isn't it?

[clears throat]

Uh, a moment, Judge.

- Oh... shit.
- That's all I could find.

So, you believe the
other door melted.

- [Ranger Boak] Yes.
- Because it was made

of aluminum.

That's what I said.

And those guns right
there didn't melt

because they're made of steel,

which has a much
higher melting point?

[Ranger Boak] Yes.

So if the other door
was made of steel,

would it have melted?

No.

[Dan] Yet that door
seems awfully heavy.

Well, I mean, my daddy
was a contractor.

Uh, I'd help him demo houses.

We pulled down a lot
of aluminum doors.

I could carry one under one arm.

Sure didn't take three
men to pick one up.

I... I couldn't speak to that.

[Dan] Well, then let me
ask you this, Ranger Boak.

Is aluminum magnetic?

Objection!

Ranger Boak is a lay
witness, not a metals expert.

I'll allow it.

No, it's not magnetic.

How about steel?

I believe so, yes.

So this refrigerator magnet,

would it stick to aluminum?

Um, no, it... it wouldn't.

Tense music plays

[people murmuring]

Do you still believe this
door is made of aluminum?

No, sir, it looks
to be made of steel.

And if this door
is made of steel,

wouldn't it stand to
reason that the other door

it was attached to was
also made of steel?

The witness needs
to respond verbally.

Yes.

So then, Ranger Boak,

I'll ask you again...

where is the missing door?

[phone buttons clacking]

[phone ringing]

Oh, hey.

Do you... do you need the phone?

Because I can wait,
it's not urgent.

[Gary on phone] Hello?

No, go ahead.

[Gary] Hello? Hello?

Hey, Daddy.

Oh, Carol.

Oh, it's so good
to hear from you.

- Are you safe?
- [Carol] Yeah, yeah.

I, I just wanted
you to know that,

that I made it to my
friend's place okay.

You know, I didn't... I
didn't want you to worry.

Yeah, that's good to hear
because I was worried.

Your mom and I
were both worried.

When do you think
we'll see you again?

[Carol] Uh, it's hard
to say, you know,

but I... but I should go
because there's someone

waiting on the phone,
so I, you know,

I just didn't want you
to think I got lost.

[Gary] Well, hey,
thanks for calling.

You called...

- [dial tone]
- Hmm.

Ah, that was Carol.

She's still in play.

You sure she's just not looking
to get more candy money?

What's your name?

I don't know you.

[Gary] Woo. Good girl.
You taught her well.

Okay, kiddo, we're gonna
get you to daycare.

[Dan] Government has charged
my clients with conspiracy.

They claim that Paul Fatta
was a blood merchant,

the architect of
some violent plot

when he was just a man
trying to run a business.

But after what we saw today
I can't help but wonder

if it's the government
who shouldn't be answering

for their actions,

if it's the government
who is conspiring against

my clients, whose
only crime was leading

a life the government
didn't agree with.

And now that same government
refuses to take responsibility

for its actions, and in
fact is willing to do

whatever it takes
to cover it up,

even if it means
hurting innocent people.

But that malfeasance,
that arrogance

has dangerous consequences

for my clients

and for the rest
of this country.

Lori Rae?

You're on the Waco jury, right?

What?

No, I don't wanna talk.

The Constitution of
the United States

gives jurors great powers.

I'm here to inform
you of your choices.

[Lori Rae] Please, leave!

Please!

I'm calling the police!

You can make the right choice.

- [pounds on wall]
- Please!

Suspenseful music plays

[breathes heavily]

[mail slot clatters]

Before we get started, I
wanna make you all aware

of something,

five of our jurors
had letters delivered

to their homes this weekend
by a group called FIJA,

the Fully Informed
Jury Association.

Pamphlets claim

the rules of the court
don't apply to the jury

and they can make up whatever
verdict they see fit.

- To the jurors' homes?
- Yes.

One of the jurors,
juror number six,

said she was
practically accosted.

She's pretty shaken up about it.

Any of you all familiar
with this group?

Are you asking us, Your Honor?

I'm asking everyone.

It just seems like
the implication

is that the defense
might benefit from this.

I think you're reading
into my question.

I'm not implying
anything, counselor.

I'm just concerned that
if-if the jury thinks

these people are aligned with...

I will tell the jury
they have nothing to do

with anyone involved
in the trial.

That would be much
appreciated. Thank you.

So long as they believe
they can remain impartial.

- Let's get started.
- Thank you.

[door opens]

[Bill] Your Honor,
the government calls

Kathy Schroeder to the stand.

So you were a member
of this group,

a Branch Davidian?

[Kathy] I was. Yes.

[Bill] This must be
very hard for you

to testify against
your own people.

[Kathy] Yeah, it is.

[Bill] When the ATF
arrived on February 28th

to serve their warrant,

and a gunfight erupted,

were you tasked with
any kind of job?

Yes.

[grunts]

I was the one who made
sure that everybody

had a gun and made
sure that everybody

had the right ammunition
to go with it.

- No! They're gonna kill you.
- [Kathy] Why?

- I don't care!
- Give me that gun!

Give me that gun!

[Bill] And why were you
entrusted with this job?

I'd been in the Air Force.

So it was like a
military exercise?

[Kathy] It was something
we'd trained for.

[Bill] And the people
that you were passing out

these weapons to,
did they take them

- with the intent to use them?
- Objection. Speculation.

[Bill] I'll rephrase.

Was it your understanding that
the weapons would be used?

Absolutely.

And are some of the
people that you passed out

these weapons to here today?

Yes.

[Bill] Let's get specific.

During the raid,

did you have any contact
with Ruth Riddle?

[Kathy] I gave Ruth
a gun and nine mags.

[Bill] Can you
identify Ruth Riddle?

I'm sorry, Ruth.

[Bill] Let the record
show that Mrs. Schroeder

has identified Ruth Riddle.

What contact did you
have with Clive Doyle

concerning firearms?

I gave Clive the .308.

[Bill] Can you
identify Clive Doyle?

Did you have any contact
with Livingstone Fagan

concerning firearms?

[Kathy] Livingstone was
already carrying an AK,

so I just made sure he had ammo.

Did you have any
contact with Paul Fatta

concerning firearms?

[Kathy] Not on the
day of the raid,

but he purchased the guns.

[Bill] So David Koresh

instructed you to hand out

the weapons Paul Fatta purchased

to these defendants?

[Kathy] Yes.

We all had guns. You
get it? We all had guns.

We all... we all
knew what was coming.

David always said, "If
you can't kill for God,

you can't die for God."

And was David Koresh
willing to die?

[Kathy] Of course.

We all were.

We were the army of God.

Even, even David's name,

David Koresh,

that means "Beloved Death."

So... when David Koresh

believed he was dying
from his gunshot wounds,

was there a plan
in case he died?

We were supposed to carry David

out the front door
on a stretcher.

If he wasn't dead yet,

we were gonna shoot
him in the head.

And then we were supposed to
open fire on the FBI agents.

And why would you
want to do that?

[sighs]

To-to-to...

to draw their fire. [sniffles]

So they'd kill us all.

See, you had to
know the real David.

He was never gonna surrender.

[whimpers] Sorry.

He was never gonna let us go.

[Bill] And how
did you know that?

[Kathy] Because...

he'd conditioned us.

Oh, he did.

[crying]

He conditioned us for years

to believe that we were headed

for an armed
showdown with the...

With the forces of the Beast.

[Bill] The Beast?

From the Book of Revelation.

So,

when the ATF arrived
at your door,

you believed they
were those forces?

And you were ready for battle.

Yeah, we were.

[Bill] And you were
conditioned to believe

that it would be a
battle to the death?

Yes.

[Bill] So, no matter
what the government did,

no matter how many chances
they gave the Branch Davidians

to come out of Mount Carmel,

you weren't coming out alive?

No.

Dramatic music plays

[Terry] It's not
too late, you know.

We could pick a different place.

Bet most of those kids
never even heard of Waco.

We kill a bunch of kids,

who's to say we're any
better than the ATF?

- [phone ringing]
- Yeah. Hello?

[Alan] Gary, Sanborn here.

Oh hey, Alan, what's up?

[Alan] I need you on a
plane in a couple hours.

I passed off the negotiations
team to Hendricks.

It's not a negotiation.

I need you in Texas ASAP.

You're being called to testify
in the Waco trial tomorrow.

[sighs] What? The...

the prosecution
wants me to testify?

[Alan] No, the defense does.

- The defense? Why?
- [Alan] I don't know.

Maybe they caught wind
of your little meltdown

with the DOJ,
where you said Waco

was all the government's fault.

[Gary] That's not what I said.

Well, either way,

they want you on
the stand tomorrow.

[inhales deeply]
Jesus. No, I... no, no.

I don't have time
for that, Alan.

Can you make it go away?

[Alan] No, I cannot.
It's a Federal subpoena.

I... This is bad timing, Alan.

I just got a CI
into Elohim City.

What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who the hell gave you clearance
to send a CI in there?

I sure as hell didn't, Gary.

If that unauthorized
CI turns up dead,

your career is over.

I realize that.

That's why I can't
leave right now.

[Alan] I don't
like you testifying

any more than you do.

You go down there and you show
that you know how to play ball.

If you want support
out there in Oklahoma,

then you're gonna have to show
us that you are a team player.

[line cuts]

[sighs]

Are you stupid?

You had no right to do
this without talking to us.

This right here is how
you lose our whole case.

I'm sorry. Were you
in there just now?

Because Kathy Schroeder
just destroyed us.

Look, our whole case is
built on self-defense,

on the idea that the government
attacked the Davidians.

But the jury is not gonna
give a shit about that

if they think the Davidians
already had a death wish

and were gonna kill
themselves no matter what.

So our job, our
most important job,

is to show the jury
that our clients

were actual people,
people who wanted to live.

And that the choices
the ATF and the FBI made

are what resulted in
all those people dying.

We could put their
friends on the stand...

- [Dan] No, no.
- Their family.

Come on. Somebody's mama
ain't gonna convince the jury.

But if we can get a badge
up there and he says

that these were real people,
people who wanted to live...

then we're cooking with gas.

So, just to be clear,
you're gonna put

a professional
negotiator on the stand

and hope you can
get him to crack?

It's a Hail Mary at best.

Well, we need a Hail Mary

and we need it to
connect or we lose.

[engine roaring]

I am so tired of people
spreading lies about David,

especially when the lies are
coming from one of our own.

How could she say those things?

That we wanted this to happen?

We wanted all the
people we love to die?

- It's insane.
- Uh-hmm.

It's like letting
Judas write the Gospel.

I'm gonna testify.

Your lawyer is
letting you speak?

- Mine won't let me.
- Neither will mine.

I don't care.

I have a legal right to
testify if I want to.

- We all do.
- Uh, she's right.

It doesn't matter that
the lawyers said no.

Legally, they can't stop us.

And our lawyers are
not listening to us.

No one is listening to us.

So we have to make them listen.

I don't know.

We are good people.

Someone needs to say it.

We're not monsters.
David's not a monster.

The jury needs to hear
that David would never do

anything to hurt us.

He loved us.

- Someone should say something.
- Uh-hmm.

Dramatic music plays

[Vernon grunts]

[sighs]

Hey, mama.

What the hell were you thinking,

shooting at George
Roden like that?

- Well, they let me go.
- And if they didn't?

If they kept you in jail, you
think these friends of yours

would still be there
when you got out?

- God told me that...
- Oh, don't give me that crap!

They might buy this
whole messiah thing

you've been feeding
them, but I remember

when you were still
pissing your bed.

Stop!

[panting]

God speaks to me!

- Vernon?
- [Vernon] He didn't choose you!

He didn't choose Grandma!

He chose me!

Me!

- Vernon!
- [Vernon] Not anymore.

You gave me that name.

But God's got bigger plans
for me than you could ever

even thought of!

Just get in the car.

[sighs] God's given
me a new name.

David Koresh.

From now on, you will
call me by my name!

I will call you by
your given name!

Your real name!

David Koresh is my real name!

Or do you think you
know better than God?

And is it God then who told you

to impregnate Rachel's
little sister?

What is she, 14?

[scoffs] You were
14 when you had me!

[Bonnie] And I
remember what it felt

like to be a 14-year-old mother.

You know how that felt?

Like I was too young!

[panting]

I follow where God leads

and if you can't get
with the program, then...

Well, then you'll never see
these grandkids of yours.

How does that sound to
you? Is that what you want?

And they'll ask me, "Daddy,
why don't I have a grandma?"

And I'll say, "Oh, you do
have one out there somewhere,

but she always had to know
best, better than God."

Some souls just can't
be led to the spirit,

no matter how hard you
scream and shout at them.

Fine.

Just get back in the car.

Get back in the car what?

Get back in the car, please.

Get back in the
car please, David.

[crowd chanting] They're
coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

They're coming for your kids!

They're coming for your guns!

- They're coming for your kids!
- [Gary] Is it always like this?

Been a circus since day one.

I've been telling them
we need more support,

especially after one of the
jurors was followed home.

- What?
- These guys are coming here

from all over the country.

[device beeps]

So, you gonna ask Noesner
about the missing door?

Yeah, probably.

Hey, where is everyone?

[Rocket] Hmm, maybe
the bus is late.

[Dan] Oh, shit. Now what?

What's up?

It seems we got a bit of
a mutiny on our hands.

You're denying us our
constitutional rights.

We have a 6th Amendment
right to self-representation,

and you're denying
us that right.

Is this about testifying again?

This is about
speaking the truth!

We're, we're good people, and
we just want the chance...

Clive, we've talked about this.

There's no way in hell
you're gonna testify.

[overlapping chatter]

[Clive] We already
have an opinion on...

[Dan] All right.
Stop. Stop! Stop!

[whistles]

You wanna testify?

You should know what
it's gonna be like.

Mr. Fagan, you were a follower
of David Koresh, correct?

- Yes.
- [Dan] Did you believe him

when he said the end
times were coming?

[Livingstone] Yes.

Is that why you were
preparing for battle?

A spiritual battle.

And were people gonna die
in this spiritual battle?

Yes.

Mr. Fagan, have you
ever shot anyone?

Mr. Fagan, you swore on a
Bible to tell the truth.

Now, I'll ask you again.
Have you ever shot anyone?

- Dan...
- No, no, no. They wanna do this.

Mr. Fatta, in 1988, you
were in a gun battle?

[scoffs] Yes.

[Dan] A battle led
by David Koresh,

for which you were
both arrested.

What crime were
you charged with?

- Attempted murder.
- Attempted murder!

You were prepared to kill
for Mr. Koresh, weren't you?

Because you would do
anything Mr. Koresh said.

It wasn't like that.

We made our own choices.

So you had free will?

- Yes.
- And what about you, Mr. Doyle,

- were you brainwashed?
- No.

So you made your
own choices as well?

- Yes.
- So you chose to let

your 12-year-old daughter
marry a 30-year-old man?

You don't understand...

- [Dan] And what about you?
- What we...

[Dan] You knew
what was going on.

Did you say anything?

You have to know the Bible.

What about you? Did
you say anything?

Did you? Or maybe
you didn't care

because you had a son
instead of a daughter.

That's not fair!

You are all complicit.

You all saw, you knew, and
you didn't say anything.

Do you know what the legal term

for these marriages
of David's is?

It's rape.

It wasn't rape!

It wasn't even sexual!

David married them

in order to have children!

Is that why he married
a ten-year-old girl,

because she was so fertile?

You are not guilty of the
crime you've been accused of.

And what the government
did at Mount Carmel

is an abomination.

But you're not innocent either.

And if you get up
there to testify,

that's all anybody
will be left with.
