You've been dancing with a lot of women tonight.

You are unforgettable.

You remember that kid stuff?

Just help me out, brother.

Just this once.

This is a reminder of the mission.

Zada spoke to me.

They are going to be watching us.

They're gonna look like regular people.

All the doctors and experts say

Mr. Berchtold didn't do anything wrong.

Don't hang up. It's me.

Everything I did was to be with you.

To get closer to you.

I think I'm gonna go visit my mother in Garland tomorrow.

I knew you'd come. I may as well confess it.

You're the one I wanted to run away with.

I love you.

And only you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ought to be used to that step by now.

I swear I don't know what's the matter

with me this morning.

You're probably just-- just tired is all.

Like we got a whole lot of sleep last night.

Oh, oh, oh. Hey.

You don't have to go so soon, do you?

I don't want to, but...

I feel awful doing this to Bob.

I shouldn't have come here again.

I think this might have to-- - No, no. Hey, hey, hey.

Bob doesn't--

He doesn't value what he has.

All right?

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Please, let's not make this the last time.

I know.

But I think it might have to be.

No. Okay, you-- I know you have your worries.

Of course you do, because you are a good woman.

But they'll pass. They'll pass.

We've just gotta figure out a way

to make this trial go away

and we can really be together.

Okay?

Forever.

Get out of here, kid.

All right? See you soon.

No. I won't let him in this house.

And I won't let his second-rate flowers either.

Mary Ann, would you mind helping me out here?

A grown man should not be

getting a girl your age flowers.

You're just mad because they're not

from your store. - Ah, ah, ah, ah.

It was a-- this was a beautiful evening

until he ruined it.

He's not even supposed to be in Pocatello.

He's only here to see his own boys in the play.

No!

Now, I will have more to say, young lady,

when I get back. - Back?

Yeah, I'm going over there to tell Berchtold

who is responsible for this family.

- Bob, I don't-- - Because it is not him.

Forever.

Hi, Bob.

What can I do you for? - What you can do

is stay the hell away.

Go back to Ogden where you belong.

And do not contact Jan or anyone from my family.

Your family?

Bob...

Do you see your family here? 'Cause I don't.

You're at my house and you're making threats.

So...

Maybe I ought to be the one to smack you on the nose, Bob.

You know? - Now, you--

you know damn well that you should not have sent

Jan those flowers.

It's what you do on opening night.

Besides, it doesn't mean anything.

That's all just--

just kid stuff.

Right, Bob?

Go home.

Go spend more time with your family.

Oh, Bob...

Say hi to Mary Ann for me.

Jan Broberg,

your Earthly father has threatened the mission.

Do not be sad if he is removed.

Do not think about him after he is gone.

Continue the mission, our special child.

Save our dying planet.

Uh, I spoke with Mr. Roberts' daughter

last night before bed.

Do you want me to bring this to--

straight to the chapel or drop it around back or--

The deceased.

Um, there's no deceased Mr. Roberts here.

Uh, What do you mean there's no Mr. Roberts?

I came in early.

Special order last night.

Sorry, sir.

Are--are you sure?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure

there's no deceased Mr. Roberts here.

That is strange.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

What's wrong, Broberg?

You scared?

You shouldn't be going around making threats

if you can't back them up.

I have a gun!

Oh, Bob. Are you sure?

Are you okay?

He's behind it.

He wanted to get me here alone.

And he sent some of his low-life friends

to try and intimidate me.

This trial, it-it could be months away.

Hell, it could be next year.

But in the meantime, he is going to do

everything he can to try and scare us

and divide us and make us lose our nerve.

We have to be strong.

And I'm--

I'm gonna buy a gun.

Mary Ann,

he is trying to destroy us.

So if you are having any...

contact with him,

it needs to stop.

Of course.

We'll be strong.

For Jan.

Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

From here on out,

nothing is coming between me and my family.

What are you talking about?

You got a beautiful family.

That's for sure.

Don't make me beg, Mary Ann.

Hello, Brobergs.

Mary Ann, you can't keep ignoring me.

Hello, Brobergs.

Hello?

No one answered.

Hello, Brobergs.

Hello?

Come here. Come on.

Yahtzee!

Jan, come on.

Bob, can you get the lights?

And Karen, where are you? Come on.

Come on.

All right. - Everyone ready?

- We're ready. - All right.

all: * Happy birthday to you ♪

* Happy birthday to you ♪

* Happy birthday, dear Susie ♪

* Happy birthday to you ♪

Yay.

- Happy birthday. - Thanks, Jan.

You girls are growing up so fast.

All right. Who wants cake?

Want a piece of cake? Jan?

Heavenly father...

It's been two years now

since Zada and Zethra gave me my mission.

I just haven't heard from them in months.

And I haven't really been able to talk to B.

So I just ask thee humbly for a sign.

Any sign on how to fulfill my mission.

I just--

I pray that you'll let them know

that I am sincerely trying

and that they won't take Susan instead of me.

Please let them know that I'm still here.

That Jan Broberg is still here.

I really shouldn't be here without Bob.

So whatever's so important, say it quick, please.

Well, if you answered my calls

we wouldn't have to meet like this.

You've been keeping me at arms-length

for too long, Mary Ann. - The best thing you can do

for Bob is make sure this trial doesn't go forward.

You've been doing that without my help

with all your... legal moves and whatever they are.

This'll be a very public trial.

We'll have to call your husband to the stand.

If Bob here is gonna get embarrassed in public,

it's only fair everyone hears the full story.

If I'm under oath, I can't lie.

We did you guys a favor

by leaving it out at the hearing.

But at trial it'll come out that Bob is a homosexual.

But he's not. He's not. You tricked him.

Stop twisting everything-- - Oh.

Why don't we work together to make this go away?

I only came because I thought you had a serious offer.

Not more blackmail. - Mary Ann.

Just a moment.

Do I have to do everything myself?

Mary Ann. Mary Ann.

I am so sorry.

I did not know she was gonna say any of that.

I hate what these lawyers are putting us through.

We gotta figure out something

or it's gonna be real bad for all of us.

I agree. I just don't see how any--

I just-- we can spare Jan the pain.

We can spare Bob the humiliation.

I don't want to cause more heartache.

Not for anyone.

Well, you think about the heartache

if I have to go to prison.

Come on, now.

Listen, all you gotta do--

you testify that you gave me permission to take Jan.

But I didn't.

You said it yourself.

If I'm under oath, I can't lie, can I?

Wait, Mary Ann. Hey. Hey.

W-what if I take a plea?

There's no trial.

And I'll--I'll plead guilty.

I'll do that for you.

Well, if they're offering you a plea,

then yes, of course you should take it.

Right.

Then I'll just speak to Jan first.

Why?

So I can explain it to her.

Mary Ann, I owe her that.

How else is she gonna understand?

You bring her by Buckskin Road

tomorrow after school.

I can't bring Jan to see you, B.

Is this 'cause of good old Bob?

You know, you'd be sparing him a lifetime of shame

if you made this trial go away.

Buckskin Road.

And you bring Jan.

Otherwise we go to court and it all comes out.

And everyone loses, especially Bob.

Aw.

Hello. Hey.

- Did you miss me, Dolly? - I sure did.

Say what you need to say.

Well, glad you both came.

Maybe we can finally put all this behind us.

Dolly, I'm thinking of you.

You would suffer the most in a trial.

But don't worry.

You are doing everything right.

I fired my lawyer.

Mary Ann, after the way she spoke to you, I--

I don't need old Jennifer Ferguson

to make my decision.

Her opinion is not the one that matters.

What are you gonna do?

Dolly, could you love a jailbird?

Yes.

Aw, hell.

I'll take the plea for all of us.

Come here.

Oh, it's gonna be all right.

Hey.

It's okay.

* ♪

Hi, Bob.

What's wrong?

I know.

Know what?

You met with B.

Is someone following me now?

Spencer told me.

He saw you.

And...

and with Jan.

How could you do this to me, Mary Ann?

Do this to you?

I met with B for you, Bob.

Oh, that is a crock of nonsense.

Oh, yeah? Well, how about this?

Us being there got him to take a plea.

He was going to anyway.

He's just trying to get ahold of Jan again.

I-I need to be able to-- to trust you,

for you to be able to protect my girls.

- Your girls? - Why the crap

did you bring Jan along with you?

Don't you have better sense?

I--

I thought it was smarter.

Smarter?

I wanted to spare Jan the burden of a trial.

So this is all about you being a good mother

and doing right by Jan? - I didn't say--

didn't say that. - No, you didn't need

to say it because that's what you're implying.

I thought it was the lesser of two evils.

Leave her the hell home and don't choose either evil.

Oh, Bob, why are you picking on me?

It doesn't make sense.

Why would you do such a thing?

Why?

I think it's time I clear the air...

and tell you the worst part.

What are you talking about, "the worst part"?

Sit down, Bob.

Just say what you have to say.

I've--

I've been unfaithful to you.

I've been unfaithful to you...

with B.

I was never with him again

after the morning he sent someone to your shop.

But he's been holding it over my head ever since.

Bob?

Bob, hey.

You are exposing our daughter to that devil!

Again!

He is a danger to Jan!

Who are you?

You know, sometimes grown-ups have arguments

just like kids do.

But when you love each other,

even the really big ones blow over.

In time.

Bob?

I don't know where you've been all night.

But I'm glad you're home.

I want... to apologize.

I hate to do this, Mary Ann, but it has to be done.

What is this?

Imminent danger?

Bob, what does this mean?

That is a legal notice

that you are an imminent danger to our girls.

You need to be out of the house

before they come home from school.

Bob, don't do this.

The lawyer will follow up

with divorce papers.

Confessing your transgression

is admirable.

But it's just the first step

on your path to repentance.

You chose Bob as your eternal companion.

But you have shattered the sacred covenant

that you and he made with God.

We have no choice but to excommunicate you

from the church.

If you desire to be reinstated someday,

you should continue to attend services.

But you cannot partake of the sacrament,

pray publicly, or visit the temple.

The blessings of your temple marriage

are also suspended.

If you should die in this sinful state,

you would be separated from your eternal companion

and your children in the life to come.

Hey, sis.

I made up the back room for you.

Thanks, Mom.

Thanks.

♪ Bonjour, tristesse ♪

♪ Hello, sadness ♪

When is Mom coming home?

♪ It's all over now ♪

♪ C'est fini ♪

I don't think she is.

Is it our fault?

No. It is not your fault.

No one in this family is to blame.

Your mom still loves you.

You'll see her a lot.

We're just gonna have to do our share

and make up for the fact that Mom's not gonna be here.

Jani, I'm gonna need you to help your sisters

get home from school.

Every day.

And just...

really help out.

Okay?

Really be a member of this family.

All right?

Jani?

Yeah. Okay.

Female companion.

Female companion.

Continue the mission with male companion.

The time is near for you.

Now go to him.

Continue the mission.

So now I gotta retake the science test.

It's a real bummer.

Dolly.

You know, I hate science except for the anatomy parts.

- Dolly. - Hey, we're still gonna watch

TV at your house later, right?

Caroline, I'll be right back.

Do they talk to you guys too?

Are you from their planet?

Jan.

Everything okay?

You know, I've gotta head home early.

Will you tell Karen to walk Susan home?

Do you still want to watch TV at your house later?

Jan, where are you going?

Thanks.

Nice to know my perfect sister

is not so perfect after all.

I'll be all right.

The truth is, divorce is really, really hard.

Bob will find someone else right away.

Men always do.

It's harder for a woman who's getting older.

And with the morality issue,

it'll be hard to get custody.

I'm not being mean. I'm telling you how it is.

You're about to see how hard life is without a man.

And, sis...

Bob was a good one.

Go right on in, little lady.

Hi. I knew you'd make it.

Now, we just have a few minutes, all right?

But I just--I had to see you.

Just back here.

Zada and Zethra need me to make some money

so I can keep going.

I gotta go up to Wyoming, see-- in Jackson Hole--

see about a fun center up there.

It's--it's a place for kids.

And there's just all kinds of games and all that.

And just every new thing you ever heard of.

But I--I wanted to tell you in person,

'cause I'm gonna be so far away for a while.

And I'm scared about the mission too

and us being apart for so long.

To tell you the truth, Dolly,

I'm also just gonna be lonely without you.

You are my whole heart.

You're my whole heart, too.

I know.

Well, it's a shame. You'd just love it up there.

There's a theater right next to the fun center.

They put on plays every weekend.

But...

Well, maybe, you know, I could come

and work for you there this summer.

Like how I worked at the freight outlet.

You know, Dolly, I hadn't thought of that.

You might have just solved all our problems.

Now, when you get home,

I want you to start to work on old Bob.

All right? You don't worry about Mary Ann.

I'll take care of her.

Come on, you worked before.

Why won't it work for me?

You gotta be a rocket scientist to figure this machine out.

Did you hear it? You have to hear it click.

Then it'll start.

Thanks, Jani.

Dad, well, I was thinking...

you know, maybe I could get a job

up in Jackson Hole this summer.

What? Wyoming?

Well, yeah.

There's, like, a ton of jobs up there.

Way more than here.

And I bet that I could even find

a really nice Mormon family for me to stay with.

You're too young.

Besides, I need your help around here this summer.

Remember?

Hey, hi.

I'm glad you came.

Early, even.

Um, hey, sit.

Uh, yeah.

It's good timing, though. I just got back.

There we go.

Oh, boy.

What's got you worked up?

What's that long face for?

Life isn't working out the way I planned.

Well, hey, you know what they say.

It's--

life's what happens when you're making other plans.

Think about it this way, no Bob?

This is what we've always talked about.

What if we'd met first? Huh?

You think of what our life would be like?

It'd solve all our problems.

- Would it? - Sure.

We move to Jackson Hole. We bring the kids.

We'd be like the Brady Bunch.

Hey.

I want you to marry me, Mary Ann.

When the happiness train comes, you gotta jump on it

or you miss it.

And I don't want to miss it.

But you gotta come with me.

You and the girls.

...better, and we know we have a responsibility,

each of us, with our thoughts, emotions,

attitudes, and words.

Hey.

...individual family members.

All too often, we leave family members

to assume how we feel towards...

Hi, Bob.

But so often, we could have communicated better

had we known how they really felt about--

Bob, I feel like such a fool.

I was--

I was so blind.

But no more.

I love you.

Not him.

Can you ever forgive me?

Can I sit?

How are the girls?

They miss their mother.

I miss them too.

And their father.

I can't live without my family.

Mom?

- Hey. - Mom?

- Mom! - You're really here.

Mom, you came back. Oh.

Jan.

It's so good to see you.

I'm so sorry I left without saying goodbye.

Are you home now for good?

Uh, your mother's gonna stay for a while.

Then we'll see.

Let the record reflect this is a closed proceeding.

And the defendant has entered a guilty plea,

throwing himself at the mercy of the court.

Robert Berchtold, please rise.

Having considered all the evidence

as well as your plea,

I sentence you to a term of five years in prison.

However, since this is a first offense

and you have shown remorse,

all but 45 days of that sentence

will be suspended only to be reinforced

if you reoffend.

You're hereby ordered to report by the end of September

to serve the remainder of your sentence

which with timed served will be...

15 days.

15 days?

I can't believe it either.

What can we do?

Nothing. It's over.

Pete, he had her in Mexico longer than 15 days.

I mean, does this seem fair to you?

At least there's the suspended sentence

looming over him.

Anywhere he tries to go,

I'll let them know about him.

I'm sorry.

Oh, great. Mom, Dad,

just the folks I needed to talk to.

What is it, Jani?

Well, there's this amazing theater.

It's wonderful.

And they've got professional actors and everything.

I could be an important part of it.

I hear they're doing a production

of "Bye, Bye, Birdie."

And maybe I could get cast in the ensemble.

Start off in summer stock to get more experience.

It could be the start of what I've always dreamed of.

That's nice, Jan.

Uh, w-where is this?

You--can you bike to it?

Well, it's not-- it's not really in town.

It's in Jackson Hole.

both: No.

Well, I'd be doing this for you too.

What's that supposed to mean?

Financially.

Dad's income can't really give us the life we want.

Jan, that is a terrible thing to say.

You apologize to your father.

Why? It's true.

We do not need you to contribute financially.

You are a child. - I'm almost 14.

You're not going to Jackson Hole.

You know, you never let me do what I want.

You're terrible parents.

You don't care about my dreams. - Okay, calm down, all right?

No, you calm down.

God, I hate you!

You're so damn stupid! - Jan.

Young lady, go to your room.

You're grounded.

Dolly, I've written you so many letters

I'm not sure what I've told you

and what I haven't. Never give up.

Always remember the mission we share.

I know it will be hard.

Zada and Zethra and all the dying children

are counting on us.

Always remember I am...

Don't lose focus.

I had this dream...

You're in college by now, I can come visit.

...and our problems are over.

And all we have is each other,

and one day we will be together.

Watching us.

Only you and me and love. B.

Jan, I'm going to the store.

Keep an eye on your sisters.

Jan!

- I will. - Promise?

Mm-hmm.

Don't run across the street.

Always remember our mission.

Zada and Zethra and all the dying children...

Not it. Oh, wait, no.

No, wait, I forgot.
