K.E.H.W., RADIO FOR THE RIGHT.

RICKY JAX HERE WITH MY GUEST BILL HENRICKSON,

POSSIBLE REPUBLICAN STATE SENATE CANDIDATE

TO SUCCEED THE LATE BOB HAYES.

NOW BEFORE THE BREAK, BILL, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT JOBS.

WELL, RICKY, I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THE ISSUE FOR UTAH,

MAINTAINING THE CONDITIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE GIVEN US THE BOOM YEARS.

SO YOU'RE SELLING REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE OVER POLITICAL EXPERIENCE.

YOU BET I AM. IN THESE TIMES WE NEED SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

WHAT IT IS TO RUN A BUSINESS, NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN.

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A FRIEND ON THE LINE.

CALLING IN IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE PIT BULL,

A DEFINITE STATE SENATE CANDIDATE, REPRESENTATIVE ROY COLBUR.

Our good citizens struggle with unemployment

while illegals grab jobs at a cut rate.

I'VE CREATED 250 JOBS IN SANDY ALONE.

HOW'S YOUR TRACK RECORD ON JOB CREATION?

Ricky, we're losing our jobs, our culture and our Utah values

to this tide of illegals. That's the issue.

IT'S EASY TO POINT A FINGER. I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED TO OFFER SOLUTIONS.

Surely we can agree on strict enforcement of the law--

tough employer sanctions for companies that hire illegals.

AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE START OF A DEBATE TO ME.

SO WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE, BILL, ARE YOU RUNNING OR NOT?

GUESS YOU FELLAS ARE JUST GONNA HAVE TO STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.

YOU JUST TELL ME EXACTLY

HOW BENNY WOUND UP ON CAMERA AS MR. MARGENE HEFFMAN.

IT'S JUST ONE MINUTE HE WAS HELPING ME OUT

AND THE NEXT MINUTE HE WAS ON CAMERA.

IT WAS A TV BLOOPER.

I KNOW WHAT A BLOOPER IS. THAT WAS NOT A BLOOPER.

I SAW THE SHOW. I SAW YOUR FACE.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME SOMETHING.

NO, BARB, HONEST, IT WAS NOTHING.

THEN-- THEN WHY WOULD THEY THINK AN 18-YEAR-OLD BOY

WAS YOUR HUSBAND?

- DID YOU TELL THEM? - OF COURSE NOT.

- SOMEONE SAW US AND ASSUMED. - SAW WHAT?

( stammers )

- THERE WAS A LITTLE THING, SORT OF. - MARGE.

BENNY WAS BEING SO HELPFUL THAT DAY,

AND WHEN I GAVE HIM A TINY THANK-YOU PECK ON THE CHEEK,

HE TURNED HIS FACE AND I LANDED ON HIS MOUTH.

NO BIGGIE.

YOU KISSED MY SON ON THE LIPS?

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

UM...

( whispering ) YOU NEED TO STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT

BEFORE BILL GETS WIND OF IT.

IF HE FINDS THIS OUT,

SUGAR WILL REALLY HIT THE FAN.

- I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, BARB. - THIS IS-- THIS IS JUST--

THIS IS TOO MUCH. IT'S-- IT'S--

IT'S UNTHINKABLE IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY.

- I'M TOTALLY ON IT. - WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE, BARB?

YOU NEED TO GET GOING. DON'T KEEP BILL WAITING AND BRING GLOVES.

YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CARRY LUMBER.

( giggles )

- I DON'T WANT TO WAKE THEM. - ME NEITHER.

( baby fusses )

- ( crying ) - THAT'S WEIRD.

( baby wailing )

( door opens )

SHE RAN OUT FOR EGGS.

SHE WANTS TO MAKE US BREAKFAST.

THAT'S SO SWEET.

- ARE YOU GONNA STAY? - NO. TELL HER SORRY.

I HAVE TO HIT THE ROAD IF I'M GONNA MAKE BOISE BY 4:00.

YOU OKAY WATCHING THE BABY TILL SHE GETS BACK?

I SPEND THE LAST SEVEN YEARS WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE'S BABIES. I'M A PRO.

- I AM. - ( chuckles )

I'M GONNA MISS YOU.

I'M GONNA MISS YOU.

BYE.

WE'LL PUT THE PLATFORM OUT FRONT, FRAMED BY THE ENTRY ARCH.

THE CABIN WE'LL CENTER ON STAGE SO WE CAN ENTER THROUGH IT.

- CAN YOU DO IT BY SATURDAY? - Nicki: Absolutely,

but I'll need some 1x3s if I'm going to frame it right.

And some quarter-inch plywood, precut.

WE'LL CORDON OFF THE AREA IN FRONT FOR MAYBE 100,

BUT THEN WE'LL STILL NEED ANOTHER 100 TO CREATE A GOOD SPILLOVER EFFECT.

I CAN GET THE CROWD. THE LISTS ARE GOOD AND I'VE DRAFTED SARAH TO HELP.

IF YOU CAN PICK UP THE FLYERS ON THE WAY HOME, TOGETHER WE CAN GET THEM ALL OUT.

- DONE, DONE AND DONE. - THEN LET'S PULL THE TRIGGER.

- WE'RE ANNOUNCING SATURDAY. - Woman: Hey!

OH! I'M SO SORRY. SORRY.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BILL. HI, BARB.

WE HAVE A FIASCO ON OUR HANDS.

AN I.N.S. TEAM IS HERE UNANNOUNCED--

HARASSING OUR DOCKWORKERS, DEMANDING I.D. AND DOCUMENTATION,

- TREATING EVERYONE LIKE CRIMINALS. - THEY'VE GOT NO REASON.

THEY'RE RESPONDING OFF AN ANONYMOUS TIP. SOMEONE DROPPED A DIME.

THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE COLBURN.

OH, HE AS MUCH SAID SO ON THE RADIO-- BAITING ME ON ILLEGALS.

BEEN IN BUSINESS 15 YEARS, KEPT OUR NOSES CLEAN THE WHOLE TIME AND NOW THIS.

WE DON'T HIRE ILLEGALS, SO WE'RE IN THE CLEAR.

BUT I THINK WE'RE IN FOR A NASTY FIGHT.

I GUESS WE CAN SAY YOUR PLAN'S OPENED US UP TO PUBLIC SCRUTINY.

Nicki: You guys still there?

Because I'm going to need some weatherstripping too.

YOUR FATHER HAD 14 WIVES.

MAY I ASK HOW YOU PLAN

TO DISPOSE OF THEM?

NEITHER HEAVENLY FATHER NOR MY FATHER'S SPIRIT

HAVE GIVEN ME ANY GUIDANCE ON THE ISSUE JUST YET.

THEY ARE A TREASURED AND DESERVING FLOCK...

NOW CAST ADRIFT.

THE JEWELS IN MY FATHER'S CROWN.

YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE MADE AN INQUIRY.

DO YOU HAVE A BURNING IN THE BOSOM FOR ANYONE IN PARTICULAR?

I DO.

I SHOULD LIKE YOUR MOTHER.

MY M-MOTHER?

I'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH THREE WIVES

IN KANSAS AND MALINDA WITH ME HERE.

YET YOUR MOTHER

HAS LONG CAUGHT MY EYE.

SHE'S A MOST HANDSOME, PROVEN WOMAN.

WOULD THIS BE A MARRIAGE FOR ETERNITY OR JUST FOR TIME?

FOR TIME ONLY.

IT WOULD BE MOST CRUEL TO SEPARATE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

IN ETERNITY.

MM-HMM.

LET ME REFLECT UPON YOUR REQUEST.

( drill whirrs )

Bill over phone: Mom, I want you to sit down.

I want you to stop whatever you're doing.

I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I'M RUNNING FOR STATE SENATE.

DID--

STATE SENATE?

Once we're elected, we're gonna tell the world who we are.

The days of hiding and shame are over.

MOM?

- Are you still there? - ( drill whirring )

- I'M HERE. - Are you okay?

OH, I--

I JUST WISH YOUR GRANDFATHER

COULD BE ALIVE FOR THIS DAY.

LISTEN, I'M ANNOUNCING MY CANDIDACY THIS SATURDAY

AND I WANT YOU TO INTRODUCE ME.

- Me? - YEAH, YOU'RE MY MOTHER.

BUT I-- I-- I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE BACK.

Where are you going?

UH, ERRANDS.

WHAT WOULD I SAY?

BARB WILL PREPARE SOME REMARKS FOR YOU.

( chuckles ) YOU AND ME, WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD TEAM, HAVEN'T WE?

- ( beeps ) - Frank: WELL, I FIXED THE LOCK.

( whirrs )

NOT MUCH YOU CAN'T DO WITH A DRILL AND A WIRE HANGER.

THAT'S NICE, BUT HONESTLY, FRANK,

WHY CAN'T WE JUST LEAVE HER HERE?

ALL SHE DOES IS MOPE. HOW CAN YOU STAND IT?

IT GETS ON MY NERVES. COME ON.

WE'VE GOT 16 HOURS AHEAD OF US. LET'S GO!

- MARGE: WHATCHA DOING? - WORKING ON MY SPEECH.

YOUR FAVORITE-- CARROT BRAN.

THANK YOU.

- SOMETHING ELSE? - MM-HMM.

BARB WANTED ME TO DO SOMETHING,

SO I CALLED THE STUDIO AND I TRIED,

BUT THEY SAID, "DON'T DO IT." I REALLY REALLY TRIED,

BUT I'M KINDA STUCK NOW, BILL.

- I'M ALL EARS. - THERE WAS A SNAFU

- AT V.S.N. ON THE AIR... - UH-HUH.

...AND BEN WAS ACCIDENTALLY REFERRED TO AS SOMEONE ELSE.

AS WHO?

- AS MR. MARGENE HEFFMAN. - ON CAMERA?

- BASICALLY. - YOU CORRECTED THEM, RIGHT?

I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE. BUT, BILL, IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION

THAT IF I JUST SAY NOTHING, IT'LL GO AWAY.

- MARGENE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN'T STAND UNCORRECTED. - ARE YOU SURE?

HE WAS IN THE SHADOWS. NO ONE WILL EVER RECOGNIZE HIM.

- MARGENE-- - AND, BILL, IT'S STARTING TO GET TO THE POINT

WHERE IT'S EMBARRASSING NOT TO HAVE A PUBLIC HUSBAND OR FATHER TO MY CHILDREN.

MARGENE, MY SON CANNOT BE THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILDREN,

NOR CAN HE BE YOUR HUSBAND. AND BEN IS NOT A SALES TOOL.

MY AUDIENCE REALLY LIKED IT.

I DON'T CARE IF THEY STOOD ON THEIR HEADS AND SPIT WOODEN NICKELS.

YOU NEED TO FIX THIS BY THE END OF THE DAY.

WELL, ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

WAIT.

HOW DID BEN REACT WHEN THIS HAPPENED?

HE WAS JUST KIND OF EMBARRASSED.

- EMBARRASSED HOW? - BILL, IT WAS NOTHING. FORGET IT.

SOME OF THE WORKERS AT THE STORES HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO GIVE RIDES.

YOUR FATHER'S ASSOCIATES AT ROTARY--

HE'S MADE THE INITIAL CALLS. THIS IS JUST THE FOLLOW UP.

RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY. GOT IT, GOT IT.

OH, WELL, THANK YOU, HONEY.

UM, WE'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT WHEN WE DO THE FLYERS, RIGHT?

- YES. - ( baby cooing )

- WHAT'S THAT? - A BABY.

YES, I KNOW IT'S A BABY. WHOSE IS IT?

IT'S SCOTT'S FRIEND PATTY'S

AND I'M BABYSITTING WHILE HE'S HELPING HER OUT WITH SOMETHING.

OH, THAT'S NICE OF HIM.

OH, HONEY, CAN I ASK YOU-- DO YOU KNOW ANY NICE GIRLS FOR BENNY TO DATE?

- HIS AGE? - I WILL DEFINITELY PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO IT RIGHT AWAY.

( baby cooing )

WHAT DO YOU DREAM OF?

A YELLOW HOUSE.

I DON'T CARE HOW BIG. JUST YELLOW.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A CHEERFUL HOUSE.

- AND WHAT WOULD BE IN THAT HOUSE? - ROCKING CHAIRS,

WHERE WE'D SIT AND HOLD ALL OUR CHILDREN

AND GRANDCHILDREN.

AND IN THE END,

WE'D HOLD EACH OTHER.

WE'RE IN THE CLEAR, WANDA.

WE'RE GOOD. WE CAN HAVE THOSE THINGS.

WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU KNOW...

MY LIFE BEGAN WITH YOU, JOEY.

NOTHING THAT CAME BEFORE MATTERS.

I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT THERE WAS AT CAMP, BEN?

A REAPER.

THAT'S SOMEONE WHO TAKES LADIES' CLOTHES OFF.

( inhales )

TEENIE, SWEETHEART, WHY DON'T YOU GO INSIDE

- AND HAVE LUNCH WITH YOUR BROTHERS? - OKAY.

SON.

BEN.

MARGE TOLD ME ABOUT THAT CONFUSION OVER AT V.S.N.

I'M SORRY YOU GOT PUT IN THAT POSITION.

SHE WAS VERY CLEAR IT WAS JUST A GOOF.

IT MEANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. SHE'S STRAIGHTENING THE WHOLE THING OUT.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

NOPE.

SO ARE WE GOOD?

WE'RE GOOD.

YOU KNOW, BEN,

I LIKE TO THINK YOU AND I HAVE AN OPEN DOOR

OF COMPLETE TRUST AND COMMUNICATION.

IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

THANKS, DAD.

IT DOES TO ME TOO.

GREAT. HEY, BE SURE YOU'RE WEARING ENOUGH SUNSCREEN.

ALBY: DEAR MOTHER, I HAVE WONDERFUL NEWS.

HEAVENLY FATHER HAS INFORMED ME OF HIS PLANS FOR YOU.

OH, WILL I BE STAYING ON AT THE BIG HOUSE?

- I THINK NOT. - WELL...

WILL I BE...

MOVING TO A NEW ABODE WITH MY LOVING SISTERWIVES?

NO.

AM I WARM?

HEAVENLY FATHER HAS SINGLED YOU OUT

FOR VERY SPECIAL TREATMENT. HE LOVES YOU SO.

HE HAS TOLD ME THE NAME

OF YOUR NEXT HUSBAND.

- I'M TO BE SEALED? - TO A STRONG, ADMIRABLE MAN.

HE WILL PROTECT YOU AND CHERISH YOU FOR THE PRIZE THAT YOU ARE.

I'M NOT--

I'M NOT SURE YOUR DEAR FATHER WOULD HAVE WISHED THIS.

PAPA IS GONE.

YOU ARE NOW THE PROPERTY OF THE PRIESTHOOD.

MY LOVING COUNSEL IS

FOR YOU TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THIS MAN.

SURELY YOU DO NOT DOUBT THE HEAVENLY FATHER'S WISDOM.

WOULD YOU DEIGN

TO TELL ME WHO MY NEW PRIESTHOOD HOLDER MIGHT BE?

AND SPOIL THE SURPRISE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?

I DON'T MIND.

VERY WELL.

( cell phone ringing )

- HELLO? - ( wailing ) OH, MY DAUGHTER!

MAMA?

- OH, MY DAUGHTER. - WHAT IS IT?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? HAVE YOU BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT?

( continues wailing )

( horn blaring )

ARE YOU HURT OR SICK?

I'm coming to get Cara Lynn. Can I see you?

NO! NO!

DON, WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S GOING ON?

- WE'RE CLEAN WITH THE I.N.S. RIGHT? - WE'RE CLEAN ON IMMIGRATION,

- BUT IT OPENED A CAN OF WORMS. - TELL ME.

THEY WENT THROUGH OUR WHOLE ROSTER.

THEY FOUND THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN PAYROLL AND ACTUAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES.

- WHAT DISCREPANCY? - THE WIVES PUT ON PAYROLL FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.

WE COVERED THAT WITH DUMMY TIMECARDS.

WE STOPPED THE DUMMYING FOR THE LAST AUDIT.

- WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM? - I BLUFFED, SAID I DIDN'T KNOW,

SAID I'D CHECK WITH BOOKKEEPING.

BUT THEY'RE COMING BACK WITH A TEAM OF ACCOUNTANTS.

GET THE WIVES OFF THE BOOKS NOW.

THEN THEY LOSE THEIR COVERAGE.

DON, THIS IS A LIT FUSE AND IT'S A LOUSY TIME FOR A SCANDAL.

IT'S A BAD TIME FOR ME TOO, BILL.

I'M FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL FOR VISITATION WITH MY KIDS.

THE COURTS FIND OUT I DROPPED INSURANCE ON MY KIDS,

IT'S A BIG STRIKE AGAINST ME. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT.

LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME. WE CAN GET ALTERNATE COVERAGE.

OH, WELL, THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.

VERNIE HAS DIABETES. LUCAS HAS A.D.D.

I'LL NEVER GET 'EM ENROLLED IN ANOTHER PLAN.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL WE CHECK IT OUT,

AND WE NEED TO DO THAT NOW.

( door opens, slams )

( engine whirrs )

ALTERNATOR OR SPARK PLUGS?

BATTERY.

YEAH, WITH MY TRUCK IT'S ALWAYS THE ALTERNATOR OR SPARK PLUGS.

I'M BUSY. MAKE YOUR POINT.

YOU MURDERED THE PROPHET,

THEN DUG HIM UP

AND BURNED HIS BODY.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

WHAT YOU DID

WAS BY GOD'S PERFECT DESIGN.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR BROTHER.

OH, I KNOW YOU WANTED HIM TO BE PROPHET,

BUT IT SEEMS YOUR BROTHER'S AMBITIONS RUNS TOWARDS POLITICS.

WELL, I WANT TO ENLIST YOU

IN A TRUER CAUSE.

TOMMY, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

- HAVE YOU GOT A SECOND? - SURE.

I'M JUST WONDERING, HAVE YOU SEEN OR SPOKEN

TO LEILA SINCE WE HAD OUR LITTLE TALK?

- NO. - WHAT ABOUT YOUR ASSISTANT?

- WHAT ABOUT HER? - SAME QUESTION.

I-- I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T THINK SO.

- IS SHE STILL ON PAYROLL? - SHE WAS A VOLUNTEER. A STUDENT.

RESERVATIONS ARE SMALL COMMUNITIES.

RUMORS START UP ALL THE TIME.

HERE'S THE LATEST.

YOUR ASSISTANT HELPED LEILA OUT OF THE HOSPITAL

THEN BOUGHT HER BABY,

AND LEILA USED THE MONEY TO MAKE A DRUG BUY.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?

NO. NOTHING.

THERE'S A MEMORY HERE.

WHEN PEOPLE HEAR OF INDIAN CHILDREN BEING TAKEN BY WHITES,

IT PUSHES HISTORICAL BUTTONS.

IT GETS NASTY.

YEAH, I CAN IMAGINE.

( whispering ) SARAH ELIZABETH, YOU LIED TO ME!

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET LEILA IN TROUBLE.

Well, I was completely blindsided.

I WAS ON THIN ICE AT THIS PLACE BEFORE,

- BUT IT JUST GOT A LOT THINNER. - DOES DAD KNOW?

OF COURSE NOT. I THOUGHT THIS WHOLE LEILA THING WAS OVER

when we left her at the hospital, but surprise!

WELL, JUST DON'T TELL HIM, OKAY?

Oh, yes, right.

YOU DAD'S ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE HIS CANDIDACY

AND I'M GONNA TAP HIM ON THE SHOULDER AND SAY,

"OH, BY THE WAY, YOUR DAUGHTER'S TAKEN AN INDIAN BABY."

I DIDN'T TAKE HIM. I'M JUST WATCHING HIM UNTIL LEILA GETS BACK.

WHO KNOWS WHO SHE COULD BRING WITH HER? THESE METH PEOPLE--

they have guns, gangs and cartels.

You could be putting yourself in danger.

I'M NOT IN DANGER, MOM.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS BABY.

HONEY, YOU NEED TO DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING

AND GET THAT BABY BACK TO THE RESERVATION.

I AM BEING RESPONSIBLE, OKAY?

THIS WOMAN'S BEEN WITH US FOR TWO DAYS

AND NO GUNS, NO METH.

JUST BABY FOOD.

YOU CAN TRUST ME. HEY.

- YOU STUDY HARD NOW, HONEY. - OKAY.

- OH, WAIT WAIT WAIT. - WHAT IS IT?

I HAVE TOO MANY THINGS TO DO FOR ANY MORE NONSENSE.

YOUR BAKING DISH. DARLING!

MAMA?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

- KNOW WHAT? - YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE TO BE SEALED.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

J.J.: SOMETIME DURING GENERAL CONCLAVE.

CARA LYNN, GET IN THE CAR.

THIS IS SOME TWISTED JOKE, RIGHT?

( chuckles ) NOT AT ALL.

I'M A VERY BLESSED MAN.

YOU ARE NOT GONNA LET THIS HAPPEN, ARE YOU, MOTHER?

IT'S WHAT HEAVENLY FATHER HAS ORDAINED,

- ACCORDING TO ALBERT. - NO, IT'S DEMENTED. YOU'RE MY MOTHER.

HONEY, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR A CHILD TO RESENT

- A PARENT'S REMARRIAGE. - BUT NOT TO MY EX-HUSBAND.

MALINDA, DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

YOU DON'T KNOW HER. SHE WILL CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT YOU OUT.

THAT IS A MOST UNKIND THING TO SAY.

AS SOMEONE ABOUT TO BE YOUR NEW FATHER,

I'LL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ADDRESS YOUR MOTHER IN THAT TONE.

THIS IS DEMENTED BEYOND WORDS.

OKAY, PLEASE STOP USING THAT WORD.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT WORD AGAIN.

YOU'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER, OF HER CONFUSION

- AND HER GRIEF. - HONEY, I'M HERE UNDER MY OWN STEAM.

NO, MAMA, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER.

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH.

I BELIEVE DEEPLY IN THE PATH THAT I'M ON.

I AM PRACTICING THE ART OF PERFECT OBEDIENCE.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU?

WHY CAN'T YOU EVER SUPPORT ME?

AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS

THAT I THINK WE'VE GOT THE STUFF TO MAKE A GOOD MATCH.

IT HAS A CERTAIN ZING.

WE'RE ALL HAPPY AND CONTENT.

YOURS IS THE UNQUIET SOUL.

LISTEN UP, BOTH OF YOU.

I HAVE JUST GOTTEN MY LIFE BACK ON TRACK

AND YOU ARE NOT GONNA TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME.

MARRYING A DAUGHTER AND THEN HER MOTHER IS BEYOND SICK.

HE'S EVIL AND MALICIOUS.

THERE'S NOTHING HE WOULDN'T DO TO CRUSH SOMEONE'S HAPPINESS.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING-- CRUSHING MY HAPPINESS.

JOEY AND I ARE STARTING OVER--

HE'S GONNA TEAR US ASUNDER.

- ( baby cooing ) - YOU CAN FIX IT, NICKI.

- HOW? - J.J.'S CRAZY FOR YOU.

IF YOU GO FAR AWAY, HE'LL FOLLOW.

- I WILL NOT BE BAIT, WANDA. - WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

SHORT OF KILLING HIM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

WOULD YOU?

- WOULD I WHAT? - KILL HIM.

WE'RE NOT GONNA KILL HIM.

NO. NO.

WANDA.

HE'S STRONGER THAN US, NICKI.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

OR HE'LL JUST GET STRONGER.

( knocker raps )

DOES ANYBODY CARE THAT MY MOTHER IS MARRYING MY EX-HUSBAND?

DOES IT STRIKE ANYONE ELSE AS PERVERSE?

OH, IT'S PERVERSE. IT'S VERY PERVERSE.

HE SHOULD BE GELDED AND SHE SHOULD HAVE HER--

SASSAFRAS.

THERE'S REALLY NOTHING WE CAN DO.

THEY'RE BOTH CONSENTING ADULTS AND THERE'S NO LAW AGAINST CRAZY.

- STAMPS, HON. - STAMPS STAMPS STAMPS.

- ( door closes ) - OH, HOORAY!

BENNY'S HERE WITH THE PIZZA.

PIZZA? PIZZA? PIZZA?

BEN: ONE LARGE PEPPERONI, ONE LARGE MUSHROOM,

ONE SMALL HOT SAUSAGE. MOM?

PEPPERONI. THAT SOUNDS DELICIOUS. BILL?

- MUSHROOM FOR ME, SON. - MAKE THAT TWO FOR YOUR FATHER.

MARGENE?

WHAT KIND OF PIZZA WOULD YOU LIKE, MARGIE?

OH, I'LL HAVE THE SAUSAGE.

EXCUSE ME.

I WANT PEPPERONI, BEN.

THANKS, BEN. JOIN US.

GEE, DAD, I CAN'T. I HAVE HOMEWORK.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE LOOKS?

- ( phone ringing ) - Teenie: OOH, I'LL GET IT.

UH-OH. I THOUGHT YOU SAID ALL THIS I.N.S. STUFF WAS OVER.

- WHAT? - THERE'S A "TIMES" ONLINE STORY ABOUT THE RAID.

"A SPECIAL INVESTIGATION UNIT IS LOOKING INTO OVERSIGHTS."

WHAT SPECIAL INVESTIGATION UNIT?

OH, I'M SURE IT'S JUST ROUTINE.

IT'S ROUTINE, RIGHT, BILL?

IT'S ABOUT PUTTING YOU GUYS ON THE PAYROLL FOR MEDICAL.

- DON'T WORRY. DON'S TAKING CARE OF IT. - DADDY, PHONE.

YEAH. WHAT?

BARB, WHY IS EVERYONE SO TENSE?

I KNOW IT ISN'T OUT OF CONCERN FOR ME.

MORE FLYERS, MARGIE?

WHAT?

TELL ME.

WE'RE MOVING UP OUR ANNOUNCEMENT BY THREE DAYS.

- WHAT? - BILL, I CAN'T FINISH THAT LOG CABIN.

YES, YOU CAN. WORK DOUBLE TIME.

COLBURN'S MOVED HIS ANNOUNCEMENT UP TO THURSDAY.

SOMEHOW HE FOUND OUT WHEN WE'RE ANNOUNCING,

AND HE'S TRYING TO GET THE JUMP ON US. WE HAVE TO MOVE OURS UP.

BARB, WE'VE GOTTA PUSH BACK.

HE'S PLAYING DIRTY POOL.

WE NEED TO STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME FOR?

BARB!

BARB?

BARB?

- BARB, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? - SIFTING WEEVILS.

- HONEY-- - NO, I'M ALL RIGHT.

I'M JUST REALLY REALLY SWAMPED RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ALL.

HONEY, WE HAVE TO ANNOUNCE FIRST TO GET THE MOMENTUM.

I CAN TALK TO DON...

- NO. NO. - ...TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF YOU.

HAVE HIM PICK UP SOME OF THE SLACK AT THE CASINO.

( emphatically ) NO.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK IT WILL MAKE ME FEEL BETTER.

BILL, DON'T WORRY. THIS'LL BE FAST.

( both grunt )

( crickets chirping )

YOU TOLD 'EM 9:00 P.M., RIGHT?

YES, I SAID 9:00.

WHEN YOU SAID THE BORDER, I THOUGHT YOU MEANT TUCSON OR PHOENIX,

NOT THE ACTUAL BORDER.

THEY'RE DRIVING UP FROM HERMOSILLO.

THIS ISN'T REALLY AN EXACT SCIENCE, YOU KNOW.

WE CAN GET OUR THROATS SLIT OUT HERE.

MAYBE THIS WAS A MISTAKE.

OH, THIS IS SOME BUSINESS PLAN.

A REAL DOOZY.

- ( car approaching ) - IF THIS WORKS OUT,

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE, POSITIVE LAST TIME.

- ( whispering ) GET DOWN! BORDER PATROL! - ( radio chatter )

- ( cell phone ringing ) - OH!

- ( whispers ) SHUT THAT OFF! - I DON'T KNOW HOW!

- HELLO. - Bill: Mom, sorry if I woke you.

NO, I'M STILL AWAKE.

THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IN PLANS.

I'M MOVING UP MY ANNOUNCEMENT TO WEDNESDAY.

- CAN YOU STILL MAKE IT? - AFFIRMATIVE.

WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?

THE BABY'S ASLEEP. I'LL SEE YOU WEDNESDAY.

- ( phone clicks ) - THERE THEY ARE. THAT'S THEM.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

COMO USTED, AND SO ON?

WE RAN OUT OF GAS.

48 NAPES, 36 LILAC CROWNS AND TWO MEALIES.

HERE'S YOUR CASH. HERE.

- TAKE IT. - FRANK: STEP ON IT. COME ON.

COME ON, HURRY UP. LET'S GET TO THE CAR.

LET'S GET THESE BABIES INTO THE TRUCK.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE FAST. GIVE MY REGARDS TO HOLLIS.

SHOO. SHOO. LET'S GET OUR HEINIES OUT OF HERE.

WELCOME HOME.

WHAT THE HECK? HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?

IT WAS UNLOCKED.

- THE DOOR? - NO, THE WINDOW.

YOU BROKE INTO MY HOME?!

NOT LIKE THAT.

I BROUGHT YOU GRAPE JELLY.

ARE YOU CRAZY? SOMEONE COULD'VE SEEN YOU.

- I HAVE A WIFE. - I CALLED.

I FOUND OUT YOUR FAMILY IS OUT OF TOWN FOR TWO DAYS.

YOU CAN'T CALL MY FAMILY.

- I WAS CAREFUL. - THIS IS INSANE.

WHY? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE CRAZY?

LOOK. I MADE DINNER WHILE I WAITED.

CAN I STAY?

LOOK. YOU CAN NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

EVER.

I MADE TURKEY TETRAZZINI AND COLESLAW.

LET ME GO CHANGE. AT LEAST WE CAN TALK.

YOU WANTED TO PLAY NICE DOLLY WITH THE NANCY BOY...

...BUT HE'S COLLABORATING WITH YOUR ENEMY.

WHAT A FOOL YOU'VE BEEN.

YOU'RE A PATHETIC CRYBABY

WHO MASTURBATED HIMSELF INTO A SODOMITE.

OH YEAH. ( grunts )

BEN.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET THE HOT COCOA MIX.

BEN: YOU KISSED ME.

WAS IT REALLY JUST A GOOF?

ARE YOU EVER GONNA BE HONEST,

OR KEEP ACTING LIKE I'M A STUPID KID

AND YOU'RE JUST SOME INNOCENT FLIRT?

I'VE HAD TO GROW UP.

WHY NOT YOU?

THAT DAY WAS CRAZY

AND YOU WERE SO NICE.

I WAS JUST VERY GRATEFUL

AND I'M SORRY IF YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

BEN.

IT DID... MEAN SOMETHING.

IT DID.

( country western music playing )

100 BIRDS AT $800 A POP.

I'D SAY WE MADE A MIGHTY PRETTY PENNY.

LOIS: DIDN'T I TELL YOU?

IS THIS EASY PICKINGS OR WHAT?

I WANT TO SPLURGE FOR MY HONEYS.

LET'S STAY AT A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS.

UH, NO CAN DO.

WE NEED TO DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH.

IT'S AFTER 2:00 A.M. AND I NEED ME SOME SHUT-EYE.

NO, I'LL SIT IN THE FRONT WITH HER

AND YOU CAN JUST STRETCH RIGHT ON OUT BACK HERE.

NO, UM, THIS IS CRAP BACK HERE.

FRANK, YOUR SON IS RUNNING FOR STATE SENATE

AND HE WANTS ME TO BE AT HIS LITTLE RALLY.

I AM NOT GOING TO MISS IT.

THAT IS NEWS TO ME.

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW.

I THOUGHT THAT

MAYBE JODEAN AND I WOULD HAVE

A LITTLE HONEYMOON ON THE WAY BACK,

MAYBE CAMP OUT AT WHITE SANDS.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, DARLING?

I GUESS SO.

WHAT'S HE WANT YOU FOR?

I AM GIVING HIS INTRODUCTORY SPEECH.

YOU?

WELL, THAT'S A HOOT.

YOU ARE PRACTICALLY ILLITERATE.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME ALONG.

WHY? TO WATCH YOU MUFF IT?

THINK ABOUT IT, LOIS.

YOUR FANCY SON DOESN'T EVER WANT TO BE SEEN WITH YOU.

IT IS A LITTLE, PETTY MAN

WHO WON'T STAND BY HIS SON.

BE PROUD OF WHAT THAT BOY'S ACCOMPLISHED.

BE A GOOD FATHER FOR ONCE.

COSTS YOU NOTHING.

* HARK HARK HARK

- * THE CHILDREN'S MUSIC... - ( cooing )

* CHILDREN'S VOICES, OH, HOW SWEET *

* WHEN IN INNOCENCE AND LOVE *

* LIKE THE ANGELS UP ABOVE

* THEY WITH HAPPY HEARTS

* AND CHEERFUL FACES MEET.

OH. GIVE ME YOUR FACE.

( calculator clicking )

I BROUGHT US BREAKFAST.

BARB MADE CINNAMON ROLLS.

CAN I SIT?

OF COURSE.

WHAT BRINGS YOU IN SO EARLY?

I WANTED TO VISIT WITH YOU...

AND MAKE AMENDS.

I'M TRULY SORRY THAT MY ACTIONS HAVE BEEN AFFECTING YOU, DON.

- I'M OKAY. - I'M GLAD,

BUT I WANT TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE ON THE MEDICAL PLANS.

BILL, I CAN PAY MY OWN WAY.

I KNOW YOU CAN. THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

I CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I WANT TO MAKE IT UP.

LOOK. I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T EXACTLY BEEN A FAN OF MY POLITICAL PATH.

THAT'S NOT IT.

I DREAM ABOUT DOING THINGS LIKE THIS TOO,

BUT YOU'RE THE GUY WHO MAKES IT HAPPEN.

- OH, COME ON. - MY LIFE, MY MARRIAGES HAVE FALLEN APART.

I'M STRUGGLING TO PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER,

SO MAYBE I'VE BEEN WRESTLING WITH SOME ENVY.

BUT I'M DONE WITH THAT NOW.

I'M ALL IN. I REALLY AM.

- HEY HEY HEY HEY. - ( laughs )

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH GAME, DON, BUT I'M ON TOP OF IT NOW.

( birds squawking )

( snoring )

( snores )

( latches clinking )

( birds chirping wildly, wings flapping )

OH. FRANK.

( yells ) OH! FRANK!

OH! OH OH OH!

NO! NO!

STOP 'EM! STOP 'EM!

- OH! FRANK! WHAT-- - FRANK: THEY'RE FLYING AWAY!

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TIE IT DOWN!

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX IT!

OH, GET OFF MY BACK, WOMAN!

( pounds on door )

SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER? AND THE TWO OF YOU TOOK AN INDIAN BABY?

NO. NO.

- THAT'S NOT TRUE. - THAT'S NOT WHAT LEILA SAYS,

AND I'D BELIEVE HER OVER YOU.

THE RESERVATION POLICE PICKED HER UP TODAY

AND SHE'S RANTING THAT SARAH TOOK HER LITTLE BOY.

LEILA IS LYING.

SHE LEFT HER BABY WITH SARAH.

NO, YOU LIED TO ME.

SHE IS YOUR DAUGHTER AND SHE DOES HAVE THE BABY.

YES, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY BEFORE.

SARAH IS-- SARAH IS JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

YOU KNOW THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST THIS, DON'T YOU?

AGAINST TAKING OUR BABIES?

YOUR L.D.S. TRYING TO SAVE OUR SOULS?

OUR SOULS DON'T NEED TO BE SAVED, AND CERTAINLY NOT BY YOU.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

YOUR VERSION OR MINE?

I-- I, UM--

I DIDN'T TELL YOU THIS BEFORE,

BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HANDLED BY NOW,

BUT SARAH HAS A BABY.

- WHAT BABY? - THE BABY OF THE WOMAN THAT YOUR WIFE

- AND DAUGHTER HIT ON THE RESERVATION. - WE DID HIT A WOMAN.

YOU WERE IN D.C. SHE'S FINE, BUT--

TOMMY, CAN I ASK YOU TO LEAVE US ALONE WHILE I GET CAUGHT UP?

I PROMISE THIS WILL BE RESOLVED TODAY.

HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE TOLD ME?

I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU. OF COURSE I WAS.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BURDEN YOU.

I AM DOING EVERYTHING I CAN

TO KEEP THESE PROBLEMS FROM YOU, BUT...

IT JUST BACKFIRED.

HONEY, I KNOW YOU DID THIS

OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART,

BUT THAT BABY'S GOT TO GO BACK TO ITS MOTHER.

SHE'S CLEARLY NOT READY TO TAKE CARE OF HIM,

AND I THINK I SHOULD HELP UNTIL SHE IS ABLE.

BUT YOUR IDEA OF HELP IS PUTTING THE WHOLE CASINO AT RISK.

SO YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE POLITICS IN THIS?

THAT'S NOT FAIR. I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

YOU CAN NEVER LEGITIMATELY BE THIS CHILD'S MOTHER.

I KNOW THAT. I'M NOT CRAZY.

I JUST-- I JUST--

I DIDN'T PLAN ON FEELING THIS WAY.

BRING THE BOY TO TRIBAL SERVICES.

IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL.

I DON'T THINK I GOT THE INVITE.

LEILA'S LONG GONE AND SARAH'S HOLDING ON TO HER BABY.

SHE'S BEING UNREASONABLE AND WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS NOW.

YOU NEED TO TELL HER THAT THE BABY'S GOING BACK TONIGHT.

I'M NOT GONNA WALK IN HERE AND DICTATE TO HER.

DUE RESPECT, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MARRIAGE.

I'M SORRY, THIS IS-- I SHOULD'VE CALLED YOU.

I WILL STAND BY YOU, WHATEVER YOU NEED.

EXCUSE US. COME HERE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.

I DON'T KNOW. SUDDENLY I HAVE THIS CHANCE TO HELP SOMEBODY.

I MEAN, THIS BABY JUST WINDS UP IN MY ARMS.

THIS PERFECT PERFECT LITTLE--

AND THEN IT ALL CAME BACK TO ME...

AND I JUST COULDN'T LET GO.

( whispering ) OKAY. HEY.

IT'S OKAY.

MAYBE NEVER DEALT WITH LOSING OUR BABY.

YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO.

I DON'T KNOW HOW.

NEITHER DO I.

NOW WE JUST TAKE IT STEP BY STEP

IN WHATEVER DIRECTION WE WANT.

OKAY.

AND EACH ONE OF THESE CHARMS COMES

WITH A CERTIFICATE OF "HEARTS ON A SLEEVE" AUTHENTICITY,

BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH AUTHENTICITY MATTERS TO YOU...

WHICH IS WHY I NEED TO--

I NEED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

I NEED TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

THAT GUY WHO WAS CALLED MR. MARGENE HEFFMAN THE OTHER DAY--

HE'S NOT.

HE WAS JUST A GOOD FRIEND WHO WAS HELPING ME OUT,

NOT MY HUSBAND.

MY HUSBAND--

MY HUSBAND ABANDONED ME,

WALKED OUT.

AND I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ON CAMERA

BECAUSE I WAS-- I AM SO ASHAMED.

I'M SO ASHAMED.

FOR MY WHOLE LIFE--

I MEAN, FIRST MY DAD--

HE WAS A DRUNK WHO LEFT ME AND MY MOM.

( crying ) AND THEN MY MOM--

MY MOM DIED ALONE ON THE LAUNDRY ROOM FLOOR

NEXT TO THE CHANGE MACHINE,

AND I'M PRETTY SURE ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED.

AND NOW I'M JUST A SINGLE MOM WITH THREE KIDS

TRYING TO SELL SHINY THINGS.

( knocks loudly on door )

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHERE DID YOU GO?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HERE?

( emotionally ) I TRUSTED YOU

AND YOU BETRAYED ME WITH BILL.

- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! - I SAW YOUR PLANS,

- ALL YOUR REPORTS. - OF COURSE I TALKED TO HIM. HE'S ONE OF MY ADVISORS.

I CAN'T LET YOU BREAK UP THE COMPOUND.

THAT WOULD DESTROY 100 YEARS OF WHAT WE'VE STRUGGLED TO BUILD.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT TO US.

I WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU.

I BELIEVE IN THE PRINCIPLE, DALE,

AND I BELIEVE THAT MY PEOPLE HAVE TO STAY STRONG TO DEFEND IT.

BUT I WANT TO UNDO MY FATHER'S MISDEEDS.

HE WAS CRUEL AND HE HURT TOO MANY PEOPLE.

I UNDERSTAND.

I DO. I UNDERSTAND.

WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER.

I THINK YOU'RE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS.

- THE CREW GOT THE LOG CABIN LOADED. - GOOD. TEENIE, HURRY.

WE STILL HAVE TO GET IT ASSEMBLED ONSTAGE BY 2:00, 2:15 AT THE LATEST.

- WHERE'S NICKI? - I ASKED HER TO DO A LITTLE RECON.

I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.

- MOM, DAD. - WHAT IS IT, TEENIE?

BEN ISN'T RIGHTEOUS.

HE'S IN LOVE WITH MARGENE.

WHAT? NO, THAT WAS JUST A SILLY TV THING.

NOT THAT.

HE WROTE HER A LOVE LETTER

ON OUR TRIP TO CUMORAH. I READ IT.

THEY'RE IN LOVE.

WHAT-- WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.

MARGENE MADE ME LEAVE THE ROOM.

WAS I WRONG TO TELL YOU?

NO, SWEETIE, IT'S FINE.

YOU GO ON AHEAD. WE'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU.

- I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. - DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?

NO NO, NOT THE LETTER.

WHAT AREN'T YOU TELLING ME?

HONESTLY, THIS IS NEWS TO ME TOO,

- BUT-- - WHAT?

BEN AND MARGENE HAD

ACCIDENTAL LITTLE KISS.

- AT CUMORAH? - NO, AT THE TV STATION.

WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF THIS.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO KISSED WHO AND WHY.

THEN WE'LL GET TO THE LETTER.

BILL, THIS-- THIS IS REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN.

- I-- - I DID IT.

THE KISS, THE LETTER-- IT WAS ALL ME.

I HAD A STUPID CRUSH.

IT'S OVER.

I'M SORRY. I WAS OUT OF LINE.

I'LL QUIT YOUR CAMPAIGN, DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.

THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME, BEN. I KNOW THAT WASN'T EASY.

MARGENE AND I NEED TO TALK.

YOU AND I CAN FINISH THIS LATER, OKAY?

HOLD ON, SON.

YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO MARGE.

NO, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO.

REALLY, IT'S OKAY.

I'M SORRY, MARGENE.

I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

IT'S REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL.

HONESTLY.

( cell phone ringing )

FEEL FREE TO GET THAT.

- ( phone beep ) - HELLO.

- Nicki: It's me. - WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

( whispering ) THAT ONLINE ARTICLE--

IT HAD SEVERAL READERS' COMMENTS SAYING

that Home Plus is a cover for polygamists.

- WHAT? - COLBURN'S ALL OVER IT.

- HE'S TALKING TO HOME PLUS EMPLOYEES. - ( phones ringing )

IT GETS WORSE. HE HAS FRIENDS AT CHANNEL 9

AND THEY'RE SENDING A REPORTER OUT TO THE STORES TODAY.

COLBURN KNOWS, BILL, AND HE'S GONNA USE IT.

THANKS, MILLIE.

( people chatting )

( hammer pounding )

I KNOW IT'S-- IT'S BAD NOW,

BUT YOUR FATHER WILL COME AROUND.

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS NOW.

- OR EVER. - I-- I-- JUST--

JUST SO YOU KNOW-- JUST SO YOU KNOW,

I LOVE YOU, AND...

WE'LL GET THROUGH THIS.

- I'M ON YOUR SIDE. - I NEED YOU TO GET ON THE OTHER SIDE

- AND BALANCE THIS THING, MOM. - ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! BEN, IT'S TIPPING! IT'S TIPPING!

- I'VE GOT IT. - OH.

JOEY, YOU MADE IT.

WELL, HOW COULD I MISS THIS?

JUST WANTED TO BE WITH FAMILY.

OH, HEY, BILL. NERVOUS ABOUT YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT?

45 MINUTES TO GO.

DO YOU HAVE A SEC?

YEAH. IS SOMETHING WRONG?

THEY HAVE US CORNERED. IT'S UNRAVELING, DON.

COLBURN KNOWS THERE'S POLYGAMISTS HERE.

WE'LL JUST DENY IT.

CHANNEL 9 IS SENDING SOMEONE OVER, THE I.N.S. IS ON OUR SCENT

AND COLBURN'S SCREAMING IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.

HOW-- HOW DO WE STOP IT?

WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING OR WE'RE ALL GOING DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I KNOW THIS IS ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

WILL YOU TAKE THE BULLET?

DON: I PRACTICE THE PRINCIPLE.

I MANIPULATED THE BOOKS TO PUT FOUR OF MY FIVE WIVES

ON PAYROLL TO GET MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR THEM.

I'VE BEEN LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE AND I APOLOGIZE

TO EVERYONE I'VE BETRAYED.

I HOODWINKED MY PARTNER BILL HENRICKSON,

AND I'VE TENDERED MY RESIGNATION.

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD, MR. HENRICKSON?

THIS IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL MATTER

AND I DOUBT IT'S ANYONE'S BUSINESS BUT OUR OWN HERE AT THE COMPANY.

AS WE CONTINUE ON THIS PATH,

WE ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PROTECTION,

COURAGE AND INSPIRATION.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

- ( rock music playing ) - ( crowd cheering )

* Star cracks open

* The wall's fallen through the floor *

* Just as well to keep it... *

( music continues )

HONEY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE AUDIENCE.

- I'M SO SORRY. - FOR WHAT?

( crying ) I'M SO SORRY.

HE LIED TO YOU...

FOR ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DID IT,

BUT IT JUST HAPPENED AND I WISH I COULD TAKE IT ALL BACK.

I KISSED HIM

AND I MEANT IT.

I WANTED YOU TO BE THERE, BUT YOU WEREN'T AND HE WAS

AND IN THAT MOMENT I JUST KISSED HIM.

( sobbing )

Lois: AND SO I BRING YOU MY DEVOTED,

DEDICATED AND SELF-MADE SON,

YOUR NEXT STATE SENATOR,

WILLIAM ORVILLE HENRICKSON.

BUT YOU CAN CALL ME BILL.

AND THAT INSPIRING WOMAN, MY MOTHER,

IS ONE OF THE REASONS I AM STANDING UP HERE TODAY.

SHE OVERCAME HARDSHIPS

TO GIVE HER CHILDREN A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND INTEGRITY.

I CREDIT HER AND HER ALONE,

FOR TEACHING ME THAT THROUGH FAITH AND HARD WORK

A PERSON CAN TRANSFORM THEMSELVES,

CAN EVEN TRANSFORM A DESTINY.

THROUGH FAITH AND HARD WORK,

I'VE TRANSFORMED MYSELF FROM A KID FROM JUNIPER CREEK

INTO A BUSINESSMAN AND A PROUD FAMILY MAN.

( cheering )

( crickets chirping )

( footsteps )

I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST IF I LEFT FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW?

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.
