- Where's Nicki?
- Outside with Marge.

I wish you'd do this with Lee.

We spoke.

I don't need to hide
behind a lawyer,

not for this.

Reporters:
There he is!

Senator!

Male reporter:
Senator, over here.

Senator, senator, right here.

Is there any truth
to these allegations, senator?

Please.

48 hours ago I was arrested
on trumped-up charges...

two counts of statutory rape;

alleged victim...
my beloved wife Margene.

It's politically motivated.

We've been harassed
and investigated

since my election
last November.

We intend to fight
these charges

and I intend
to serve out my term.

I'll have more to say
later, believe me.

For now, folks,
after two days in the clink,

I'm kind of anxious
to get home.

Thank you.

Reporter:
Senator, senator, senator!

Let's get out of here.

I'm so glad to see you.

Baby, you said a mouthful.

All right, Nicki, stop it.
Don't cry, not here.

Not in front of them.
Wait until we get home.

Reporter: This was the scene
as senator Bill Henrickson

and his wives
left the county jail...

the first
duly-elected official

to be arrested
on polygamy-related charges

since the mormon wars
of the 1880s.

Trial and initial motions
in the case

are set for four weeks
from now.

Meanwhile, Albert Grant,

the ousted prophet
of Juniper Creek,

remains in jail without bail.

His mother Adaleen Grant,
out on bail herself,

spoke to reporters
just moments ago.

My son is not a flight risk.

There's only one reason
why Albert Grant rots in jail

while Bill Henrickson
goes free.

One is a man of God
and the other is

a sleazy insider
with political pull.

- Margene.
- Reporter: Meanwhile Eugene "Salty" Logan...

It's just all my nerves.

Hon, stop doing that a second.
Come be with us.

We can't let
this arrest define us.

We're gonna push back
and counterattack.

But whatever we do,
we can't let them see us sweat.

Are we all in?

We're all in, Bill.

All right.

Let me go make sure
everything's on track for tomorrow.

Where are you going?

Membership meeting.

- That church of yours? Now?
- Today?

Don't worry.
I'll be back.

Barb, I just want to say

it's good to have an open mind,

but not so open that
your brains fall out.

When I have these baptism talks
with our eight-year-olds,

I tell them they're now
old enough to commit sin

and become accountable for it.

But you've been old enough
to commit sin for years.

Old enough
and committing it too.

A baptism is usually

a joyous event
in the life of a family.

I have to ask again, Barb...

do you think your marriage
can survive this change?

The marriage this church
disapproves of?

The marriage we've all chosen
to look the other way from.

Your husband's arrest has made it
a lot more difficult to do that.

No church is the perfect fit
for anyone,

but I know
this church is for me.

It's the only place that offers me
priesthood authority.

Without that I'm lost

and of no use to myself
or my family.

I'll see you Sunday.

- Dinner's almost ready.
- Hmm?

I got the boys and Nell
all washed up.

Honey.

Mm-hmm?

Before we go over,
I want to talk a sec.

I found this in the cupboard
beside the mugs.

Oh.

It's not really anything.

Well, it's a passport.

Well, I know it's...

it's something
I thought about doing.

But not anymore.
Not now.

You want to go on a cruise?

It's a medical ship.

They go on six-week stints
down to central America.

They take volunteers.

I wanted to work in the galley.

You were gonna go away?

A little.

Goji taught me there's this
whole world out there

I'd never been aware of before.

I was so unformed when
I came into this marriage, Bill.

You gave me
a foundation in life,

in faith.

I wanted to fly a bit.

You can do charity work
here in town.

There's the shelter,

a lot of other good causes.

I can help you choose one
if you want.

It's okay, really.

We have three children, honey.

Whom I love more
than life itself.

And we're working on a fourth.

We are.

This would have been
in addition to,

not in place of that.

I think I understand.

What's happening to you
pierces my heart, Bill.

You're my anchor.

You're my home.

But someday

I do want to meet new people

and share what's
in my heart with others.

And I'm so scared

because I've made so many
false starts in my life.

Because you're young, Margie.

And now I know
what I want to do.

And I'm so afraid
it's too late for me.

Thank you.

I'm gone for two days,
and this is what happens?

Oranges for dessert?

Where's the pudding
and the pies?

Honestly, Bill.
Who has time to bake?

I'm just kidding.
Right, Aaron?

We love oranges.

You need them.

You look like you have scurvy.

When are we gonna dye our eggs?

Are we doing something special
for Easter at the church, dad?

We are.

But we'll have plenty of time
to talk about all that.

Bill, Stan hasn't
gotten back to me.

Is my car door covered
for that incident at Harmon's?

I'm sure it's covered.
I'll call.

Cara Lynn, we all know
you and your mother

have been talking
and making some progress.

And we wanted you to know that until
we can sort out your adoption,

because of legal issues
we may be facing,

your mother's adding
a directive to her will.

If anything happens to her,
Barb becomes your legal guardian.

Honey,

I know you've been taking
my apologies to heart,

but I just want to say

in front of our entire family,

I am so seriously sorry

for any pain my words
have caused you,

and I hope that we can,
all of us,

have a clean, fresh start.

( Growls ) Ha ha ha.

Hi.

I was just taking Barb's
turkey roaster back downstairs.

So if something were
to happen to you,

I would go to Barb?

Things seem so up in the air.

Did you really think that
you could manipulate me

into accepting an apology
because it was public?

Or was that an attempt
to fool them into thinking

you didn't mean all the terrible things
that you said to me?

I would have said
anything to you

if I thought it would
have protected you.

It was a stupid, desperate act

trying to send you off
to that school.

And I...
I never meant

to speak such hurtful
words to you.

I wish you would believe
how sorry I am.

I only wanted to help you.

I'm thinking of going back
to my other family.

It might be the best thing
for both us, I'm thinking.

( Door closes )

The trial could start
as early as May.

I just wanted you to know.

Well, thank you for telling me.

I appreciate that...

you coming here and telling me.

Well...

Mom, mom, come on, stay.

You have good days
and bad days.

It's okay, you hear me?

You have crummy days,
a crummy week.

And then... pow!
Something great happens,

and you're glad to be alive

and wouldn't trade it
for a million bucks.

Admit it.

Just nod your head yes.

Just nod.

Or don't. Boy, you're not
gonna give an inch, are you?

I don't have any memories.

I can't remember
a thing... nothing.

Yeah?

Well, who am I?

My son Bill.

And that's all
you need to know.

Now, come on, shape up.
Easter's this weekend...

our first Easter
in our new church.

Dinner at the houses after?

Lamb with mint sauce.

We used to wear hats

on Easter Sunday.

Do you remember those hats?

Sure, sure I do.

They made us feel
so full of ourselves,

like we were something special.

Paul Westcliffe,
"New York Times."

Elizabeth Starkey,
"Washington Post."

Ana Balaban,
"Denver Post."

Welcome to Utah, folks.

- My wife Barbara.
- Hello.

- My wife Nicolette.
- Hi.

Please meet the woman
that I allegedly raped...

- my beloved wife Margene.
- It's nice to meet you all.

Please sit.

Margene: Bill and I have been
married for six years.

We have three
lovely children.

The first two...
our sons Aaron and Lester...

conceived out of successive rapes,
if you believe our D.A.

It may seem harsh, but this is exactly
what our D.A. is contending.

The state is using my boys
as their evidence of statutory rape:

Aaron... count one;
Lester... count two.

Obviously we welcome this opportunity
to get our message out.

Westcliffe:
And, senator,

since you invited us here,
what is your message?

Starkey:
The L.D.S. bishop's handbook

states that a bishop
must report abuse.

They're told to call the church's
800 number helpline for counsel.

There was no abuse.

I don't know how it is
in New York and Washington,

but here, with her
mother's permission...

Which I had.

Margene and I would
have been allowed to marry

like any regular, non-polygamist couple
in this state.

None of this three-ring circus
would be happening.

I'd like to know how you're
holding up under such pressure.

How has this arrest, this charge
affected your marriage?

Bill:
Made it stronger, no question.

Starkey: So why these charges?
This is take no prisoners.

It's pretty scorched earth,
I'd say.

Because we're calling ourselves

mormon polygamists publicly.

We're moving forward
to clean up the compounds,

to reform polygamy.

And to clear our
husband's good name.

Heather.

I'm late for class.

I know you don't want
to talk to me,

but I just want
to give you something.

Please.

What is this?

It's a certificate.
I named a star after you.

It's in the Andromeda galaxy.

"Heather, you are
one in a trillion."

Seriously?

I know it's lame.

It's really lame.

And I know it doesn't fix
anything, but it's true.

It's how I feel about you.

I'm sorry.
I'm an idiot.

No, Ben, you made me
feel like an idiot

for ever thinking we could work.
You're a polygamist.

Of course you're gonna want
to mess around with other girls.

I don't want to mess around
with other girls.

And that's not
how polygamy works.

That's exactly
how polygamy works.

You know what I mean.

No, I don't know what you mean.

I want us to work things out.

I don't want to lose you, okay?

I have to go to class now.

Barn: Are you crazy?
You just got arrested.

I want to take up
where I left off.

I want my hearings
and to introduce my bill

to strip Juniper Creek
of its state and municipal status.

You are crazy. We're wrapping up
session in two days.

Not happening.

That wackjob Albert Grant
is in jail anyway.

Someone else will come along
to fill the vacuum.

A madman invaded our capitol.

Now we have an opportunity

to strike at the heart
of the compounds.

Have you heard the expression
"box office poison"?

Just slip quietly off
into the sweet good night.

I think that's a better idea.

You can patronize me,
but you can't expel me.

I've yet to be
convicted of a thing.

I'm gonna be active
in this session until the end,

however bitter that may be.

Committee rooms are all taken.

Then give me
the senate chamber.

Oh, for your dinky hearings

on something no one
gives a shit about?

I got news for you:

Juniper Creek decertification
isn't exactly star-chamber-

alger-hiss-in-the-pumpkin-patch
material.

Two hours between votes.

It holds up no one.

I will go on hunger strike.

I will take off my clothes
and moon the chamber.

I'll wear a clown costume

and ride a trike
in a shriners' parade,

but the only thing
I won't do is go away.

Raymond put cabbage
down the disposal.

Before I take the elbow joint apart,
do you have any drano?

Oh, Nicki, that stuff's so bad.

Use this.

Margie, I don't have time or patience
for any of your organic stuff.

I want drano.

Oh, forget it.

Bill's very worried,
by the way,

about your desire
to run away on that ship.

It's not running away.

Whatever it is,
I just want to say

I agree with him completely.
You don't have to feel so bad.

- About what?
- You don't have to feel

like you have to run off
out of guilt and shame

and exile yourself because
it was all your fault.

I don't feel that way.

"For as we have
many members in one body,

so we, being many,
are one body in Christ."

Romans 12:3-12:5.

What does that have
to do with anything?

I want to be of service.
That's why I wanted to go.

It is?

Yes.

That's about the most selfish thing
I've ever heard.

How can you not feel guilty?

And what about your children?

Who? You mean our children?

( Harrumphs )
Nell, you stop it right there.

If you think Barb and I
are gonna take over

the care and feeding
of your children

while Bill's in prison and
you're on a cruise off the coast...

I'm not doing it, obviously.

Of course you aren't.
It's too ridiculous for words.

Please don't categorize it
as ridiculous.

Because it really hurts
my feelings,

and I don't believe it is.

( Door closes )

Lee spoke with the D.A.

If I plead guilty,
they'd recommend

one to two years
instead of seven to 20.

We said I'd consider
pleading to a lesser charge

of polygamy, but never to rape.

They said no go.

My nerves are just so frayed.

We have to talk about Easter,

whether you think
you might be able

to come to church with us.

Where are you going?

The sofa.
I need a night off.

Bill, please.

The reason it's hard for me...

The reason it's so darn...

I'm being baptized on Sunday.

You're getting baptized

into the reformed church?

Yes.

But I just...
I didn't know

how to tell you, obviously,

and I didn't think

it would really
change that much,

not really.

Now what are you doing?

Going to Nicki's.

No, Bill.

That's not right.

Not right?
In the midst of this maelstrom,

it's becoming obvious
we don't have much in common.

Marriage is about sharing.

There's none of that
going on between us,

except sharing problems,

suspicions and disrespect.

No, I've come to realize

that it's unfair for me
to expect you

to compromise your
deeply held beliefs,

so why keep rubbing
your nose in it?

That's why I chose
not to tell you.

- How much are you packing?
- I don't know.

How long are you staying?

I don't know.

Maybe this is just reality.

Maybe things are shifting.

My responsibilities
lie elsewhere...

other children and other houses,
other churches.

That's not fair.
And this isn't right.

I followed you into polygamy,

and let me tell you, it was
pretty alien from my beliefs,

but I did it out of love.

We're back in the public eye
in a big way.

This will only be seen

as your repudiation
of us, of me.

Now? At our most
delicate time as a family,

you just had to go
and do this now?

Yes, now.

It's deliberately throwing
a lit match on the gasoline.

If you're gonna be gone
for one year or 20,

I need support...

a spiritual home
to draw strength from.

- And it will destroy us.
- How?

Your church is antipolygamist.

Church members are judged
by their families,

and you'll be judged
and held back because of us.

You'll be a chipped plate,
a second-class citizen.

You'll be ashamed
of your church

for being intolerant of us,

and resentful of us
for holding you back.

No, please.

The two nights I spent
in jail, I didn't sleep.

I wasn't thinking
about rape or...

or being arrested
or the humiliation.

I was thinking about us...
you and me...

and how we got to this place.

Well, what am I supposed to do?

You have two spouses
to be with at night.

I have none.

I'm sure we'll see
each other tomorrow,

but I just can't be
with you right now.

I built this church for you

when you were
excommunicated...

for you.

Do you know
how much it kills me

that you can't find
a home in it?

( Door opens, closes )

Cara Lynn?

Cara Lynn, are you going out?

( Rustling )

- Bill.
- Hon?

I thought you were Cara Lynn.

What are you doing here?

Barb and I are taking
a little time off.

I'm staying here tonight.

Hi Sarah.
It's mom.

What are you and Scott
doing on Sunday?

Gee, I'd love to see
you and Teenie.

Everyone would love

to see you all here for Easter.

Well, I know you're busy.

Call me if you can.

( Sighs )

How are you this morning, Barb?

Fine.
Why do you ask?

No reason.

You have your planners.

Is this an official
wives' meeting?

It's just scratch paper is all.

It just felt like we needed
to discuss some things.

Sit with us.

All right.

I thought we could go over
some bulk supply issues

in anticipation of Easter
and Easter dinner.

What does bulk supply
have to do with Easter dinner?

We're short on paper towels
and toilet paper.

No, actually I have cases
of each in my basement,

so you can cross that
off your list.

Barb, I don't have a list.
No one's usurping anyone.

But Margie's car does need
to get picked up from the shop.

That's something we could
have handled informally.

But you can put this
on your list:

My car needs to go
into the body shop

for the ding on my
driver's side door.

I thought Bill said insurance
was covering your ding.

Well, it's not.

Why are you being so overtly
hostile and mean to me?

We're trying to give you
an opportunity to open up to us.

You can talk to us
about it, Barb.

We know how much this
must hurt your pride.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Bill and I are
at a little impasse.

Stop looking like that.

Oh, for Pete's sake, Barb.

Why don't we rip
the band-aid off right now?

You and Bill are
apparently through.

And we're just sitting here,
tiptoeing around it.

No, we are most definitely
not through.

You thought you could just say,
"I reject your church,

and I have the priesthood,
and I find greater comfort

with lesbians and reformed churches
than I do with my sisterwives"?

"And, by the way,
I'm being baptized on Sunday"?

Nicki.

Nicki says he walked out, Barb.

Which leaves Margene and me
where exactly, we'd like to know?

He did not walk out.

And if he did,
thank you very much, Nicki,

for inviting him in
and giving him comfort

instead of sending him
right back home where he belongs,

so we could work out
our problems.

He's my husband too, and he was upset.
Of course I comforted him.

I'm going down with the Captain while
you two are deserting the sinking ship...

you off to your new church and Margie
sailing away on her cruise to Africa.

It's a medical ship
to central America.

Oh, I don't know, Margie.

Do you think this is
really a good idea?

Central America
is awfully dangerous.

I read all the time about
Christian groups being held up

and carjacked on back roads
in the middle of the night.

If you want to be
Margene without borders,

you hardly have to
leave home to do it.

I mean, you're doing
a pretty great job of it

right here in Sandy
for the last five years.

Marge leaving, me leaving...

it's like a dream
come true then, Nicki.

That is so mean.

All I've ever wanted
is for you both to be happy.

If you don't fix
things with Bill,

the next official wives' meeting

just might be here
in my dining room.

Fine.

And the first order
of business is

I need that $700 for my ding.

That car is a piece of junk.

Do you really think $700
wasted on that car is worth it?

You worry way too much
about appearances, Barbara.

You always have.

( Knocks )

Hey sunshine.

Look what I got for you...

two of your old Easter hats.

I spared no expense
in getting them.

Don't ask me how.
I got my sources.

Didn't I tell you
good things could happen?

I remember this one.
You remember?

You sang that funny song while
you wore it to make us laugh.

What was it?

You changed the words around.

Oh, come on.
I bet you remember.

Here.

- Here, let's try it on.
- Argh!

Hey, what's the big idea?

Now come on.

Let's get you looking
like a million bucks.

There.

A real Easter bonnet.

Mom, look.

Look.

Oh, she's ugly.

Why is she wearing my hat?

No, mom, it's you.

God save me.

( Knocks )

Don, what did you want?

What is it?
Tell me.

It's the end, Bill.

No, buddy, it's not.

Whatever it is, I can help you.

Come on down.
We got free balloons

and popcorn
for the kiddies.

( Music playing
on stereo )

Get in.

Oh! A new car?
Oh, it is so cute.

Bill got you a new car?

Actually I got me a new car,
and it's all mine.

I can afford the payments
out of my allowance.

You were right
after all, Nicki.

I needed a new car.

Get in.

It's cramped back here.

I figured I didn't need
the extra space

since I'm no longer hauling kids
and groceries full-time.

My responsibilities
have changed,

as both you and Bill
keep reminding me.

Make it go really fast.

Where do you want to go?
Downtown?

No, out of town.

Past the airport, way way out.

Could you put
the top up, please?

Just relax.

Enjoy the ride.

It's the last time
we'll all be together

for the first time
in honey bee.

You named your impractical
little car "honey bee"?

Mm-hmm.

I think "in your face"
would be a better name.

All right, everyone,
be quiet. Let's go!

I'd like to go with you
to your baptism.

I'll be fine on my own.

Let's go pick up Bill and
all of us just keep on driving.

- A new car out front?
- Yes.

And where's the station wagon?

I traded it in.

Obviously, Barbara.
Where?

Trans-Metro motors.

- Where are you going?
- I'm going to get it back.

Honestly, Bill, I'm sure

it's on its way to
the trash compactors by now.

How could you?

It was shot.

It was a good old car,
but we drove it into the ground.

How could you just
get rid of it like that?

How could you?

It was just a car, Bill.

It was our car.

I got you that car
for our ninth anniversary,

before you got sick,

before Nicki and Marge
and these houses.

Sarah and Ben learned
to drive in that car,

and you just went and got rid of it.
You got rid of us.

You threw us away without so much
as a second thought.

I'm sorry.

No, you can't do that.
You can't just walk away.

What exactly the heck
is happening between you two?

Should we expect you
to resolve this

or is it over?

All right, I really
don't want to discuss it

like this, with all
of this emotion.

Well, too bad, because
this is our marriage,

and what happens to you
right now happens to us too.

You think the survival
of this family

isn't the foremost thing
on my mind every waking minute?

Just hire a private detective

and ferret out
some unsavory facts

about this new church of hers
and end it once and for all.

We lost Home Plus.

Sales were down,

then the protestors,
the boycotts and everything else.

With the arrest, Valley National
called in all our loans.

No other bank will touch us.

I'd have to sell the houses
to keep the stores afloat.

They stole our store

because I'm a polygamist,

and polygamy is illegal.

I'm going to prison

because our marriage
is illegal.

Everything keeps
coming back to that.

Well, we may be going down,

but if we are,
we're going down in flames.

I've got the senate floor tomorrow,

and this state, this church

is gonna deal with some issues

whether they like it or not.

Are you awake?

Yes.

So am I.

I figured.

Are we gonna be all right?

If Margene is serious,

I want you to get behind her

and support her desire
to go away

and do some kind of mission.

It's loving

and it comes from her heart.

I know that.

But what?

I just don't think she has
any right to leave.

That's what.

This is the best place for her.

She was nothing without us.

Everyone has a choice, Nicki...

to go, to stay.
Understand?

That's the thing...
everyone's free.

Close your eyes.

Get some sleep.

( Birds chipping )

( Knocks on door )

Come in.

Bill.

Hey sleepyhead.
We're all downstairs.

Your mom made a nice breakfast.

I don't eat with Nicki anymore.

We're on different schedules.

Her name's mom.
And yes, you do.

We don't solve problems
in this family

by avoiding each other.

We dig in for the long haul.

I see you trying
to do that, Bill.

I do.

But I don't see it
as necessarily working.

Because it isn't
always working.

But isn't that

reason enough to dig deeper?

That is, if you really
love someone, I mean.

I loved him with my
whole heart, Bill.

I don't think that any of you
understand that.

What's going on?

What's the matter?
Are you all right?

I'm fine. We're just
awfully busy here.

You ran off without
telling anyone.

People here need help...
real help.

Why didn't you call?

It's not like I can call in
every minute of the day

with my exact whereabouts.
Is that what it's come to?

Doesn't anybody trust anybody
in this marriage anymore?

- We can't flag, not now.
- I'm not flagging.

Nicki, please calm down.
What on earth is the matter with you?

I will tell you
what's the matter with me.

Everyone is leaving.

Margene is going
eventually, you know,

and you're leaving us.

We're not enough
for you anymore.

Suddenly we're all
free to choose?

It's the latest thing.

Our husband is going to prison.

My daughter is
virtually out the door.

And there's nothing I can do.

And I don't want
to be alone, Barb.

I'm frightened too,
but you won't be alone, sweetie.

I promise you that.

Yes, I will.

I don't have one ounce

of the milk
of human kindness in me.

I'm spiteful
and jealous and mean.

I know.

No, I really am.

I know.

What do you think you're doing?

Please just sit down with me.

- No, I'm not.
- Please sit on the bed.

Just get on the bed, Nicki.

Don't. You know
I don't like to be touched.

I know.

I don't like it,
and you know it.

Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth, so help you God?

Senator, I stand corrected.

Who'd have thought decertification
would be such a hot ticket?

I suspect it's me.
The devil is a top draw,

second only to Jesus Christ,

and he hasn't been
seen a lot lately.

Proceed with your
opening statement.

I wish I could.

I started all this thinking
that decertification

would strip the compounds
of their power,

but I've come to realize
that's not enough.

- Senator?
- Juniper Creek is

a grotesque manifestation
of the Principle

that's been allowed
to fester and bloom

like a cancer in the dark
closet of illegality.

And we have three hours before
the session comes to a close.

I wish to offer an amendment
to decertification.

Wait, I came for these hearings.

Now if you have no questions
for these witnesses, I certainly do.

I offer an amendment to the bill

that rescinds municipal certification
of Juniper Creek.

Name of amendment then?

The legalization of polygamy.

- Oh, come on.
- ( Crowd murmuring )

We are not wandering off
into the weeds here. ( Banging gavel )

- Senate resolution 312.
- No. ( Banging gavel )

An act for the legalization
of plural marriage.

You are not hijacking
this body.

A 19th-century ban that's based
on comparing polygamy

to religious murder and actual
human sacrifice and cannibalism

doesn't even pass
the stink test.

In this respect, it does:

It is a remnant
of a neolithic time,

something from the dark ages
that... that enslaves women...

for 50 years
the Utah territory...

a polygamist territory...

was progressive, idealistic.

Our polygamist women demanded

and received the right to vote

decades before the rest
of this nation.

And it was this chamber

that stripped them
of their voices

when you voted to make
polygamy illegal,

casting them into the shadows

and then turning
your backs on them.

My husband's right.
We share a sisterhood.

You are out of order.

I am the presiding
hearing officer,

and if I decide to invite comment
from the gallery, then I can.

And I'm the presiding
officer of this chamber,

and I say you can't.

And... and you're not
one to talk.

Your L.D.S. religion
suppresses women as well,

- excommunicating us for speaking out...
- ( Gavel banging )

And attempting to bury
the mother in heaven doctrine.

- Are you talking to me?
- No one's talking to anyone.

Clear the gallery.
Senator, you will sit down.

For the first time in 120 years

this body and this state
will discuss and debate

the merits of the legalization
of polygamy.

Oh no, we won't.

And failure to do so
lays its abuses,

its victims
at your feet, not ours.

We've stepped out of
the shadows

and demand our day in the sun.

This may not happen
in this session or the next

or even in my lifetime,
but it will happen.

And that conversation
has now begun.

Radio reporter:
Thrust into the news late yesterday,

embattled senator Henrickson
lodged a reconsideration of polygamy

into the last day
of the legislative session,

igniting a firestorm
in the chamber

and a furious
statewide debate.

Governor Linton
expressed no comments

on Henrickson's
kamikaze-like strike,

and the church has yet
to issue a statement

regarding Henrickson's allegations
of harassment and persecution

contained in extensive articles
in "the New York Times"

and other national papers
of record.

We'll have more on this story

and also on senator Henrickson's
arrest as both...

( turns off radio )

This is crazy.

I guess you're off now.

I'm really proud of you,
Bill, for yesterday.

You lit a fuse.

I never planned on this.

I'm not a prophet
or some figurehead.

I want you to know
I'm trying, Barb.

I'm trying.

I won't ask you not to go.

I do still love you, you know.

If you'd like to
join us after, you'd...

well, you'd be welcome

always.

We need to get ready.

I replaced the button
on the gray sweater,

sent it to be cleaned.

Thanks.

Anytime.

I know what you're
going through.

This was your first real love.

It was dangerous.

You chose something
that couldn't last,

and that felt safe.

Because maybe
you wanted to learn

about what love really is,

because you didn't
understand it.

How do you know that?

Because I've been through that.

Because it scares me too.

Because it still always
feels dangerous somehow.

What's happening?

I don't know.

( Applause )

Man: Thank you, Bill.
- Thank you.

Woman:
Thank you so much.

- Thank you, Bill. - Thank you, Bill.
- Appreciate it, Bill.

- We appreciate you, Bill.
- Thank you so much, Bill.

- Thank you, Bill.
- Thank you.

Child:
Thank you, Bill.

- Thank you, Bill.
- Thank you, Bill.

Don.

They started driving up
from the compound at 3:00 a.m.,

and from all over town too.

We can't hold them all.

Can you get some loudspeakers?

We can put them out front.

Congratulations.

Sister Dutton.

Barbara?

- It's okay.
- Yeah.

Ready?

Having been commissioned
of Jesus Christ,

I baptize you
in the name of the Father

and of the Son
and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'm not Barbara Dutton.

I am Barbara Henrickson.

If my family's not here,

then I'm not here.

I know.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, everyone.

- The speakers are all set.
- Okay.

( Exhales )

I think I might need
a minute here.

Next week, I promise,
we'll have

a few more chairs back there.

( Laughter )

I guess you all know
the rules here.

No one holds the keys.

We're just custodians
of the word

until heavenly father
designates

a true prophet to lead us.

Until then, well, I...

I guess we'll do
the best we can.

Easter Sunday...

a joyous day.

We're promised that one day

all the people
we have ever loved

will be resurrected.

Our parents,
brothers and sisters,

our grandparents and friends

will all live again

together forever.

But for now this...

this is our home...

a true spiritual home
for the many of us

who haven't had a home
for a long long time.

This is our
meeting place,

the place where we come
to celebrate the births

and marriages,

the sealings

and funerals...

( Wayne coughing )

...that make us
an eternal family.

Nicki, the stock's
boiling for the gravy.

Could you hand me
three tablespoons of flour?

Mm-hmm.

Where'd Lois go?

She wanted to go back
to the home first.

She had something
to do with Frank.

What's the matter?

I chose not to
go through with it.

Why not?

- Have you told Bill yet?
- Hey, give it a rest.

It's okay.

Maybe.

I'm just not sure
where it leaves me.

Ben.

Come sit.

Spring is in the air.

You can smell it.

The sky.

I'd like to dip this moment
in amber and preserve it forever.

What happened in church today?

Everyone sensed something.

I felt a grace descend upon me.

Thanks, Barb.
I see him.

Don, I'm glad you could make it.

Am I... ?

No no, come join us.
The more the merrier.

Everybody's talking, Bill.

There were 480 people
at church... 480.

They're trying to throw off
the shackles on their hearts.

- ( Door opens )
- Bill, we're mashing the potatoes.

You've got to get
your mother now.

Your mom and I
are gonna be all right now.

We're all gonna be all right.

The only thing that matters...

our families, our marriages.

Faith comes from that love,

not the other way around.

Do you understand?

Do you know what I'm saying?

None of them wanted us
to marry,

said it can't last.

Hmm.

And I moved you
into that little trailer.

God, you hated that.

But you stuck it out.

Then we moved into
our first house.

You wanted to paint it yellow.

I wanted brown.

You said, "no, I insist, Frank.

It's gonna be yellow.
Yellow's cheerful.

I'm determined to be cheerful."

Then we married Nita.
( Chuckles )

God, you guys fought

like cats and dogs
that first year.

I thought you'd kill each other.

Then Bill was born.

You called him

the light of your life.

You remember that, Lois?

The light of your life.

Went to San Felipe

and we cooked fish
out on the beach at night.

Then the cops came,

tried to shoo us away.

Oh no.

You gave them what for.

Remember, Lois?

You gave them what for.

Hey neighbor.
Happy Easter.

Same to you, Bill.

How are you doing?

Well, I tell ya, I come home,

I see my front lawn
has been resodded.

Yeah. I promised you I would,

last fall after the election.

I wonder if...

if you think
I can't do that for myself,

if you think I'm unworthy

or inadequate

or I can't take care of my wife.

Carl, it's okay.

I understand the expectations
and all the pressure.

No, it's not okay.

You don't understand.

I love my wife.

I love my church.

I won't be ridiculed.

I will not be a failure!

Here, Barb. Sorry...
I'm sorry. Okay.

( Three gunshots )

- Oh my God.
- Bill!

- Oh no.
- No.

- Bill.
- Bill, stay with us.

Margene: Please, we need an ambulance.
Sandy, 2115 Linda Vista Lane.

Margie, help me!
Give me your sweater.

Stay with us.

Bill.

( Inaudible )

Bless me.

Hold on, Bill.
Please hold on.

I need a blessing.

No, hold on.
Bill, please hold on.

I need a blessing

from you.

Please.

Bill Orville Henrickson,

by the power
of the melchizedek priesthood,

I give you this blessing
of comfort.

Heavenly father knows
what's in your heart.

( Inaudible )

Your family has faith in you.

Your family loves you.

We will always be together.

Your family will be with you,

and you'll be there to see it.

( Babies crying )

( Children playing )

It really was
a beautiful ceremony.

I know.

I've never seen her like this.

I didn't get to spend
enough time with you guys.

It's okay.
We'll come and visit.

( Baby crying )

He's getting fussy.

Here.

No.

That's 'cause
it's almost time to go.

Where's Margene?

I swear she's drawn out
this goodbye as long as possible.

I think she just likes
the attention.

She has a lot to pack, Nicki.

It was a really
beautiful blessing, Barb.

I was inspired.
You allowed me

to give our first grandchild
his grandfather's name.

( Sighs )

We loaded all of my bags
into your car.

Hey, Sarah, we should leave,

'cause we might miss our flights.

And Teenie's in my bathroom
putting mascara on Wayne.

That girl doesn't know
where she's coming or going.

I'll go... I'll go get her.

Hey, will you
change him, please?

Oh yeah.
Come here, come here.

Cara Lynn:
I'll help you.

Thank you.

Your father made this possible.

I never thought I'd see you
back in this church.

I never thought I'd see
you up on that dais.

We're strong.

We've been forged.

We endure.

I'll be right out.

It's nice to see them.

And that baby looks
just like Bill, doesn't he?

I'll be back in three months.

Just call, okay?

I mean, honestly,
you can be so selfish.

And we need to hear
from you more this time,

so we know that you're safe.

Barb was so worried.

- You be careful.
- Mm-hmm.

And Nicki's right.
You call us more.

Okay.

It breaks my heart that
he wasn't here to see this day.
