( women screaming ) Don't move!
Stay quiet!
Our father in heaven asks us to share testimonies Of his righteousness.
I truly believe this church will be Like manna to a starving people.
Peg?
Thank you.
Okay.
Ahem.
Uh, today...
My testimony is that we have a new endeavor-- A casino-- And it's going to be a big success.
And I know this to be true.
Amen.
( baby coos ) all: Amen.
( train whistle blowing ) I know that this church is a place Where people can feel at home, Even if they don't know yet where their true home is.
I know I hurt my family by my actions And my...
Disseminations.
And I hope they can find it in their hearts To forgive me.
Where is roman grant?
We don't know where he is.
We haven't seen him in six weeks.
You're lying.
I am not lying.
Not upstairs.
Tell us where he is!
I don't know where he is!
He could be in mexico!
He could be anywhere!
( people chatting ) Thanks for coming.
If you and scott were sealed in our church, It would mean so much to your father.
We're talking it over.
We're just-- we're not sure if it's right for us.
Scott mentioned he wanted to check out a united church of christ.
Uh-huh.
I-- I hear they're very progressive.
I have to go pick him up because his truck's in the shop.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Morning.
What are you doing?
I'm watching birds.
Is that right?
I've never seen you before.
Yeah, I'm just down here for a few days on business.
( tv playing ) Margie, after dinner, these are the parking lots I want you to leaflet.
I will, bill, but I'm swamped.
Aren't there people to pay to do this?
, they'll just throw the fliers away, say they did it And pocket the cash.
Joey, it's bill.
We're opening up our casino in three days.
I don't know if you're in arizona or where you are.
I wish we could get past this bad blood.
I wish you and wanda could drive up from arizona and be there.
Give me a call when you get this.
I need to run to the uniform company and explain That we want a more modest look like this with the longer sleeves.
This other business, it just-- It looks like a cocktail waitress.
Honey, is this the latest seating count?
This is it?
These buses are only half full.
People don't necessarily plan in advance, bill.
Let's not worry about it yet.
The ad is on!
Bill, the commercial-- it's running!
Man on tv: Blackfoot magic casino!
Food!
Family fun!
Woman: Entertainment!
Man: Genuine casino gaming!
Where can you be you?
Woman: Come join us.
Man: Just 85 minutes from salt lake city Near franklin, idaho, Blackfoot magic casino and family fun center.
Woman: Grand opening this Wednesday.
Fancy-free!
Dad, you gotta come!
They came to take mom away.
I don't know a thing!
I am not involved in any conspiracy!
Well, I'm starting to find that difficult to believe.
Why can't you leave us alone?
( door opens, closes ) Ld on!
What's going on here?
You've questioned her three times.
You've drug her downtown.
Now I'm getting fed up with you guys harassing us for no good reason.
Oh, we've got a reason.
Oh, yeah?
There was a raid on juniper creek.
Her father has been signing checks And depositing them into a bank account in her name.
That's not possible!
I haven't spoken to my mother or father in two months.
Here's the account: Bank of emprim, Nicolette eugenia grant.
Is that you or is that not you?
No, it's my name, but I don't know anything about that account.
So that's not your signature on file?
That's not your driver's license That's on file from when the account was opened?
I don't know.
Bill, help me here.
We're not downtown.
This is my private property, If that still has any meaning in this country.
Unless you've got a warrant, there's the front door.
And tell us again just what your interest is here, bill.
My wife and I are extremely close to miss grant.
Let's just stop beating around the bush.
Let's just acknowledge that she's your spirit wife.
My what?
You're polygamists.
I hope you're taping this word for word.
I've known this woman her whole life.
I was born in juniper creek.
I had her come and nurse my wife back from cancer.
We helped her out, we care for her deeply And I will not see her abused or her rights violated.
Get off of it.
We all know what the score is here.
Yeah?
Then try and prove it in court.
I will not allow them to keep persecuting us like this.
We pay taxes.
We fight for our country.
As long as our faith in the principle makes us weak In the eyes of the law, we will be vulnerable.
For pete's sake, what happened?
Roman's back from wherever he's been hiding.
He's been putting money in an account in nicki's name.
Look, I'll call mama.
No, don't use the phones.
What?
Don't look at me.
I didn't open it.
I don't know a thing!
- We didn't say we thought you did anything wrong.
You're suspicious.
I'm not blind.
I can see it in your eyes.
Fine, I give up.
I don't know what more I can do.
Nicki?
Nick!
Come back here.
We're not gonna be divided.
We're all on the same team.
Now we are moving heaven and earth to open this casino and we're all on edge, But we are gonna make it through this.
( thumps ) Hi.
Is it safe now?
What are you doing?
Ah!
Clearing out.
Your father's back.
Where?
Since when?
I don't know.
There was a mad search for him today by the f.B.I., And if he's here, we're not safe.
No no no no no no.
He'll make no immediate move against us, Not with a federal warrant hanging over his head.
Stay put.
Keep working the accounts.
Once the trustee arrives all funds will be frozen And our hands will be tied.
Where have you been?
Out.
I took a walk.
A hike.
Oh.
Oh, the 10-minute sale is happening, and it's in my hour.
It is my agate and sterling bracelet, and for the next 10 minutes, It's only $17.99.
That's right, for $17.99, you-- I'm sorry, that's $29.99.
For $29.99, you can have my beautiful...
Yeah, I made a little slip-up.
Slip-up?
That was awkward, it was embarrassing And it was amateurish.
We work on tight margins.
That is not something we can make up in volume.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really so sorry.
This is not what I want to be seeing.
You've been distracted lately and it's showing.
I'm fine.
We're opening another business, My husband and I, and it's about to be up and running.
This business is the only business you have time for.
I understand-- I do-- And I have a plan how I'm going to pass off my other responsibilities.
Let's hope that works then.
I try not to stick my nose into the personal lives of my girls, But I have seen a lot of people with a lot of promise Burn out right around this very stage.
I am not going to burn out.
You have no idea how much this means to me, beverly.
Good.
That's the margene we hired.
Cute sweater.
( birds squawking ) ( pounding on door ) Parrot: Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
I'm back.
I sold the four napes.
No one wanted the smaller other kind.
Worthless clit.
Try as you might to avoid 'em, You always gonna wind up with A couple of stinking worthless clitorises.
Why do you call them that?
That's what they're called.
That's what the natives in mexico call them.
Here's your cut.
Now can you run and get me those extra locks?
Gram, if grandpa's really back, You can't just hide inside all day And buy more locks.
You don't know him.
He's angry.
He's-- he's calling.
He's...
Tryin' to get me.
Let me tell dad.
We can get a restraining order.
You don't know a thing about marriage.
Just puree the gruel And feed the birds outside before you leave.
I gotta get this room cleaned up.
I got some new ones coming in.
Where are you getting all these birds from anyway?
Swap meets.
Where else?
Nicki: Thank you.
Well, she's looking forward to it.
( phone beeps ) It was the school.
The center sent over your test results.
Did I place into the eighth grade?
No, honey.
Seventh?
I'm sorry.
I'm not in junior high?
No.
You're in senior high.
You tested one full grade ahead.
In math, you're 12th grade.
You're a math whiz.
So we'd better step on it-- new dresses.
Senior high starts one full week earlier.
The management company has trained enough workers To go from 9:00 a.M.
To 11:00 p.M.
And three weeks from now, we'll be able to staff 24/7.
I got the buses ready to extend till midnight when we do.
Toilets were finally installed yesterday, And we just passed inspection.
I can't believe it's just a temporary space.
That's right, jerry.
And the tents are just a promise of bigger things to come.
Tommy.
Bill.
We might have a problem.
What is it?
You.
Me?
The f.B.I.
Just called.
They're sending an agent to our tribal offices.
They implied you might be using our accounts to launder funds.
They want to see the ledgers for any transfers we might have made To mexico on your behalf.
Whoa whoa whoa.
Jerry, I'm being harassed.
The feds and the f.B.I.
Are no friends of mine right now, And I'm sure you of all people understand.
One of the reasons my father chose you Is you made a promise Not to bring vegas-style problems to our reservation.
We thought you were the sunny face of polygamy.
What's this all about?
It's about the mess that roman grant left behind.
And I give you my word, my hands are clean.
Bill, we can't be in bed with a partner who's involved in criminal activity.
Maybe you should remain a silent partner and not show up for the opening.
Just a sec.Hold on.
Who made the miracle in the desert happen for you guys?
I did.
No one else could have gotten those tents up this fast.
We needed the money; it was my idea and we're partners.
Send the f.B.I.
To me.
I'll take care of 'em.
Is that it?
Actually, There's another problem we'd like to discuss.
Crab legs?
Yes, crab gs.
And I stand by it.
It wasn't jerry.
It was his son tommy, right?
What did he say?
He didn't say anything.
Why on earth can't they just talk to me about it?
Is that too much to ask?
Honey, we're guests up there, and we need to be careful Not to step on anybody's moccasins.
Bill!
I was as diplomatic as I could be.
Oh, and I resent that.
I resent that look.
They wanted baked salmon served at the opening.
Well, the salmon used to be a pretty important fish in idaho.
Well, I'm sure it was, but mormons don't like salmon.
We like crab legs.
And if it's an all-you-can-eat With a "kids eat free" sign, well...
We are in like flynn.
Honey?
- Nobody in utah eats salmon.
That's all I'm saying.
Honey, this isn't just about salmon.
You've got to take it a little slower.
Are we a mormon-friendly casino or not?
That was the idea.
Then I'm just doing my job.
And if the most that they have to worry about is crab legs, Well, then they must lead a very charmed existence, Don't you think?
Margie, please, You need to spend a little more time up there.
Jerry asks about you constantly and as you can see-- I think that barb is doing a super in bill.
And you know, this is so important for her after her ex-communication.
She needs this for her self-esteem.
You need to support her.
- Margene!
We need this casino.
It's our financial security.
And she's a diamond in the rough, bill.
A diamond in the rough.
Maybe, but we need this.
That's it.
Do we understand each other?
Mm-hmm.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
I want you to call off the dogs.
What dogs would you be referring to, bill?
It has become your personal vendetta and we both know it.
I don't know what mess you're in now, But I'm quite sure it's of your own making.
My family's being pilloried and we're innocent.
Is that so?
Roman grant disappears the night before His planned arrest.
Other than my office, You're the only one that knows that's about to happen.
Yeah, and I wanted to see him put in jail more than anyone.
Just tell me-- what's it gonna take to get you off our backs?
Nothing ends until roman grant is arrested.
Is that how you save your pride?
Going after a woman and her children?
If you're still standing there the next time I turn around, I swear I will have you arrested.

- Thank you, bishop pettis.
I just had to hear it to be sure.
You've got the gig.
( all laughing ) There was little comment from the bureau, however, Except to say that there's substantial evidence That grant continues to use funds From the compound's ueb, Which, as you know, maria, Has been placed into the hands of a state-appointed trustee Because of grant's fugitive status, Which renders him unable to properly oversee The assets in the $200 million trust.
The new trustee convenes a first meeting tomorrow, Which of course...
Bill, enough.
Go on.
In a minute.
I'm just prepping for the hearing tomorrow.
Well, fine, do it at nicki's.
You can't keep sitting over here and avoiding her like this.
Honey, just go on.
It's her night.
It's not right punishing her for what's happening Bill: Well, do you believe her?
Barb: About being in touch with her parents?
I do, Because I choose to believe her.
Huh.
Great.
And I take no pleasure in this.
I'm just gonna ask, Just to know where we are in this family, And I know it's certainly none of my business-- Honey, what?
( stammers ) Did-- have you and nicki repaired your relationship?
We're still trying to work things out.
No, I mean, have you...
Repaired it yet?
Barb.
No, we're not there yet.
Barb: You can't blame me for asking.
Just go over there and see her.
Bill: I'm not going over there tonight.
Barb: Go.
Bill: No, we're not there yet.
( birds chirping ) Morning.
Morning, benny.
We got the gig.
We're playing at the singles ward social next Friday.
Oh, that's wonderful, honey.
No, mom, it's a big deal.
It's our first paying performance.
I think that's really great, benny.
Margie, could you call nicki And tell her and cara lynn that breakfast is ready?
And I am gonna need that extra dozen.
Bill: Okay, sweetheart.
I love you too.
That was teenie.
She says hello.
She'll call you later to arrange picking her up next week.
She's not answering.
( door closes ) Shake a leg.
Barb?
( nicki speaks softly ) What's going on here?
Bill.
Nicki inside?
No, she's not here, And I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Next time use the front door, Because this is called trespassing.
What nicki is doing is called kidnapping.
Don't talk to him, bill!
Don't listen to a word he says!
You don't know what he is capable of.
All I want is my daughter.
She is going to go to school and that's that, j.J.
She's very smart.
She's gifted.
That is not your decision to make.
Now I gave you a few extra days and you start hanging up on me?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Nicki, you expressly told me you'd worked all this out.
He just wants to place her.
He wants to put her in the joy book.
Is that true?
Absolutely not.
She's my daughter.
I just want to see her.
She's enrolled in school.
It starts this week.
Now wait one minute.
You waltz back into her life after 12 years, And you think you're gonna make decisions without my consent?
He still wants me.
He still loves me, bill.
We have to be on guard at all times.
We have to be vigilant.
Honey, that's enough.
Nicki, I want you to go in the house.
No.
- Go in the house and let us talk.
Just go and have breakfast.
( chuckling ) I don't know what it is, but she just gets me going.
But I know you're having your own problems too.
I'm not gonna talk about nicki with you.
We'll work this out amicably.
Neither of us can have the law involved in this dispute.
If you deal square with me, I'll deal square with you.
Daddy?
Honey.
You were supposed to be back four days ago.
You had me worried.
I know.
I just wanted the chance to go to school, papa.
That's all.
I just didn't know how to tell you.
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Honey, I'll put you back in school if that's what you want.
How about weekends, j.J.?
We'll make sure you get her every weekend, And nicki will hold to the bargain.
All right.
Thank you.
I just want a chance to get to know my moer a little bit better too.
I don't really like it here.
Don't worry.
When you go back to kansas, I'll go with you.
( country western music playing ) * I keep a close watch on this heart of mine * * I keep my eyes wide open all the time * * I keep the ends out for the tie that binds * * because you're mine * * I walk the line...
* ( fender scrapes ) I was so glad that you called.
( engine stops ) And I told you I'd be here just as quick as a cricket.
Oh, boy.
How pretty are you?
What's on your mind, my dear?
I was wrong In attempting to hasten your demise-- Which in the end I just could not do.
It's worth remembering.
Why don't you lean on over here And give your love-starved husband a kiss?
( tires screech ) Ahh!
( grunts ) ( gun cocks ) ( grunts ) I am not a fool, frank.
I could smell your goon squad a mile away.
( tires squeal ) filthy washbarns!
You don't think for one second that I would ever try To harm a hair on your chinny chin chin, do you?
I brought them to protect me!
Boy.
We are going to be civilized And...
Gonna go get some ice-cream cones...
Reacquaint ourselves with each other And see if, over time, There might still be something Meaningful in our marriage.
I would hope for nothing more than that.
And then...
You're gonna bring me right back here And let me out.
Do we understand each other?
Always.
Then drive.
The rest of the mums have been delivered to the warehouse And the grower's renting his van.
I'm picking them up at 4:00 a.M.
So when I get to the casino, I'll have plenty of time to cut them.
Marge, could you call jerry or tommy And check on the available number of unsold seats on the bus?
No, why don't you?
I'd just rather you do it.
Barb.
- Okay, because I'm finding it To be a petty bac k-biting environment up there.
I mean, they're-- they're fearful.
I think they're sexist.
Oh no, barb.
Well, they're certainly anti-mormon.
I really don't think so.
Then they just don't like me.
All right, that's right.
That's it.
I know it is.
I-- I just-- I just don't know what I'm doing up there.
Why am I putting myself through all this torture?
You're so good at it, barb.
I could never do everything that you're doing.
You just need to spend more time up there.
Think about what a great role model you're gonna be For young girls everywhere.
It's so important.
Margie, just stop.
You're blossoming.
No.
You're blossoming, margie.
The fact is I'm just drifting.
No, you're just changing, is all.
We all are.
We're all just changing.
I told bill I was prepared to meet kenny up at the airport, Drive him up, but bill said he felt more comfortable hiring a car.
Well, heaven forbid we should upset bill.
What?
I'm just stating the obvious.
Forgiveness is a commodity That's pretty hard to come by in this family.
Barb: Under the circumstances, Nicki, I'd say we've been very forgiving.
Margie: Nicki, I know that you and bill will be able To reestablish intimacy really really soon.
What?
- Don't you even try and go there with me.
I know you had the gall to ask bill, And I know he had the colossal gall to tell you Because I heard you.
Oh.
Great.
I'm so glad my intimate relationship with bill Is such a fascinating topic of conversation between the three of you.
You know what?
I'll certainly keep you two posted If and when something develops.
It's okay, nicki.
No, it most certainly is not okay!
I'm terribly sorry.
It just came up in conversation.
And don't get mad at me.
I have been carrying the brunt.
I have been picking up your share, believe me.
Margene!
Not that I mind.
( phone ringing ) Hello?
( clacking sound ) Nicki: Mama.
Please don't hang up on me.
Nicki, I am so deeply remorseful For all our recent acrimony.
What are you doing calling me?
Honey, it's an emergency!
We've had a blackout down here.
Mama, I have been accused of opening a secret account for papa.
You tell me what's going on.
My food reserves are melting, the air-- I can't breathe.
I desperately need you to go get a generator From your husband's store and bring it to me asap.
No!
I mean, I'm being drug into the middle of all your criminal activity.
Are you aiding and abetting papa?
Please, I'm begging you, nicki.
I'm desperate, please.
Please go get me a generator!
Man: As the official stat e-appointed trustee, I want to assure everyone that we are sensitive About your fears of the state intruding into your affairs.
This is an illegal interference of a know-nothing government That thinks it knows everything!
I pledge to you-- I bring no hidden agenda.
I'm a senior partner at cromwell, ashe, I've chaired the professional conduct committee Of the utah association of c.P.A.S, And I'm guided by an advisory panel Comprised of men and women with strong connections To your community.
We're not here to take des.
I come from juniper creek.
Our only purpose is to administer to the trust In the best interest of you, the beneficiaries in the community, period.
Alby: This is an illegal, gestapo-like invasion To destroy us because of our religious beliefs.
The state is using the pretext of a trustee To get its hands on our assets.
Excuse us, won't you?
Alby?
Why don't you get onboard?
Now we are going to drag the compound Into the 21st century whether you like it or not.
Don't pretend you're a friend of juniper creek.
You're a judas.
I know you're the mastermind behind this trustee thing, Behind the raids.
I'm a victim of the raids.
I know your game.
You will never be prophet.
I have no taste for prophets.
I chased your father from this compound, and I've got news for you: He's a far tougher man than you.
At least we can talk.
Dale, you got a sec?
Dale, this is albert grant, Roman's second in command.
It's fair to refer to you as that?
That would be a fair representation, I suppose.Nt, It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, thank you!
Thank you for coming!
When the chips are really down, there you are.
I'm not hooking this up until you tell me what's going on.
Goodbye.
No, don't leave me!
Why are you screaming at me?
What is going on?
Well, you can't drive back on an empty stomach.
I'll make you a b.L.T.!
Bacon.
I need some bacon.
Mama, I don't want a sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
- Yes, I want to make you a sandwich.
Just-- just go down into the cellar And get me some bacon from the walk-in.
Please let me make you a b.L.T.!
Just get the bacon!
Get me bacon, please!
( both scream ) I didn't know how to tell you.
How could you have sent me in there when you knew?
Your father's dead.
The prophet's dead.
You're gonna have to face that fact.
All right, let's just sit down calmly And try to think things out.
Oh, honey, this is a real pickle.
No, this does not make sense.
Why is he in the freezer?
Because he's dead.
Did you kill him?
No!
How dare you?
I walked into his bedroom To celebrate his return from banishment, And there he was with his guitar.
Oh, your beautiful father, probably in the midst Of singing his beloved "canciones mexicanas," Apparently struck dead by joy in the middle of his prime.
What else could I do?
He said he was going to live to 126.
I had to protect his image from being tarnished I had to think about his legacy.
Well, who knows?
Not a single soul, And don't you tell anybody.
We have to turn him over to the f.B.I.
You can't ask me to do that.
I won't!
Mama, do you know what trouble this has brought down on bill and my family?
My marriage is on the line.
Well, I'm a widow!
We are all gonna wind up in jail.
I mean, papa's in the freezer?
You can't keep him there forever.
Well, I won't turn him over.
You can't make me.
You have to-- now!
No, I don't.
I won't.
( thuds ) ( door opening ) lura: Ow!
I couldn't stop her, father.
She bit me.
Papa's dead.
What?
He is dead, alby.
He's really really dead.
Are you sure?
Are you 100% sure?
No, you be sad!
It's very very sad!
Mama's had him in the freezer for weeks.
She refuses to give him up.
She killed him?
No, she found him dead.
He died.
She was afraid of telling the cops.
She's gone half crazy.
How do you know she didn't kill him?
How do I know you didn't kill him?
Maybe bill killed him.
Maybe he didn't.
I can't take it.
I'm going home.
You just go over there and fix it.
His death has to be announced and she won't listen to me.
- ( door slams ) At long last!
Shall we, darling?
My destiny is fulfilled...
And god will surely punish he who blocks my path to glory.
I've opened up other businesses in my day, But none have filled me with the pride and humility I feel standing before you at this moment.
I know your people were at the forefront Of the ghost dance movement of the last century, Struggling to assert your identity Against an overwhelming invasion by a foreign culture.
Well, I believe in my heart Tomorrow's opening of this casino Offers us all a second chance for self-determination, And in some small way may right some of the wrongs that history has left us.

A dressed deer can take a day or two.
How long will it take you, dear papa?
Maybe never...
For your heart is made of ice.
Will you stop talking to him?
It frightens me.
Did you see that?
( gasps ) what?
What?
He just gave me a mean look Because he knows I'm gonna be the prophet now.
* I think of butterflies * * love is like * * a butterfly.
* ( birds cawing ) Bird: Hello!
Hello!
Mmm.
Oh!
Frank!
S-stop.
Don't.
You-- you know you don't want this.
Now don't resist.
( whimpering ) I don't want to hurt you.
- No.
I just want to kill you.
( screams ) Ahh!
Ahh!
Oh!
Oh!
Ow!
My hip.
My hip.
I don't give a goddamn about your hip.
I've got no sympathy for you.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, my back!
( shouts in spanish ) Ow.
( grunts ) Oh, my hip is out.
What the fuck is with all these birds, lois?
( squawks ) Frank, you know I don't like that language.
When will you let me live-- Frank-- frank, will you...
Let me live in peace For a percentage of, Uh, a neat little business I've got going?
What kind of little business?
Selling birds to pet shops.
I buy 'em for $30 And I sell 'em for $700.
Where do you get 'em for $30?
( chuckling ) That's my little girl.
You're just the little smuggler, aren't you, lois?
I am a purveyor of birds.
That's all you need to know.
Ah.
Now do we have a deal or not?
Hmm.
( cell phone ringing ) This is bill.
Man: Mr.
Henrickson, It's smiley from lumber.
You said to call you if I accidentally stepped on any toes Or ran into any problems.
Yeah, smiley, what's up?
There's a problem.
Barb: Huge problem!
Huge!
Kenny's flight was delayed so he didn't make his connection.
His equipment arrived, but what if-- What if he's late?
I just knew it was too good to be true.
Kenny-- ( gasps ) ( flies buzzing ) He's dead, barb.
Oh no, bill!
Don't-- No no no no!
Don't touch him.
Don't touch him.
Oh, dear lord.
What are you looking at?
No!
No, don't look.
Don't let her see it.
Barb: Nicki, stay there!
What is it?
No, please please, nicki!
( gasps ) Barb: It's okay.
That miserable, rotten, son of a-- Nicki, sweetie, don't go there.
It was alby.
Alby killed him?
No!
He dumped him here.
He's setting us up.
What?
He's been dead for weeks.
You knew about this?
No, I-- ( cell phone ringing ) Bill: Yeah, what's up, jerry?
What do you mean an anonymous tip?
No!
No!
Jerry, I'll be right there.
Where are we going?
Should you call the police or the f.B.I.?
They're already on their way.
It's my family, bill.
I can handle it.
Just let me take care of it.
How long have you known?
Since yesterday.
Mama called.
She had him in the freezer.
I told alby to deal with it.
I'm just trying to save us from all this!
Everyone stop!
You wait here till I get back.
You and you-- marge, you come and keep an eye On ben and cara lynn, And barb, you-- you come with me.
Smiley, make sure no one comes close to this spot.
And throw a tarp over it.
The f.B.I.
Boise field office received an anonymous tip That roman grant is at the casino.
And we told them it wasn't credible.
Well, it wasn't.
We've stalled them, But we're not gonna hold them at bay forever.
And a swat team is not something we want running around at our opening.
Come on, they'd handle a crank call like this by sending in a swat team?
He's on the "10 most wanted" list.
They faxed us this.
And apparently he's your father-in-law.
This is some kind of hoax.
You give me an hour To find out who's making these anonymous calls, And I'll personally talk to the f.
B.I.
And tell them who to swat.
And that's a promise.
Come on.
- No, gentlemen, In the same spirit of full disclosure And airing issues just face to face rather than through third parties, If you've got problems in the future with me, My decisions or my decision-making, I invite you to share them with me...
Personally.
So...
There.
Good grief, barb, not the time or place.
Anybody come around?
No one.
But that lady just went down into that pit and lost it.
Nicki!
( nicki grunts ) Nick, what are you doing?
Stop.
- Please just let me fix it!
Stop!
Please.
I wanted to take care of it without worrying you.
That's the reason I didn't tell you.
You're not thinking straight.
What were you gonna do?
I'm gonna take him into the desert and you'll never see him again.
And you'll never see me again either.
No, stop it!
That's not what we're gonna do.
Margie!
I'm still shaking.
I am still shaking.
Where's bill?
He left with nicki to take our little problem back from whence it came, But he's left us in charge until he gets back.
Barb, I don't know how to say this without you getting worried-- Kenny's manager just called And kenny's plane is now being diverted to spokane On account of a forest fire in boise.
A forest fire?!
Shh.
What?
Calm down.
What are we gonna do?
Are those my crab legs?
They need to be on ice.
They're in styrofoam.
This is intentional.
Barb, don't go there.
I need you to concentrate.
Don't go there.
Come here.
Kenny!
I got it.
All right.
Ben, take care of cara lynn.
Do you want a cold burger?
No.

Our father in heaven asks us to share testimonies Of his righteousness.
I truly believe this church will be Like manna to a starving people.
Peg?
Thank you.
Okay.
Ahem.
Uh, today...
My testimony is that we have a new endeavor-- A casino-- And it's going to be a big success.
And I know this to be true.
Amen.
( baby coos ) all: Amen.
( train whistle blowing ) I know that this church is a place Where people can feel at home, Even if they don't know yet where their true home is.
I know I hurt my family by my actions And my...
Disseminations.
And I hope they can find it in their hearts To forgive me.
Where is roman grant?
We don't know where he is.
We haven't seen him in six weeks.
You're lying.
I am not lying.
Not upstairs.
Tell us where he is!
I don't know where he is!
He could be in mexico!
He could be anywhere!
( people chatting ) Thanks for coming.
If you and scott were sealed in our church, It would mean so much to your father.
We're talking it over.
We're just-- we're not sure if it's right for us.
Scott mentioned he wanted to check out a united church of christ.
Uh-huh.
I-- I hear they're very progressive.
I have to go pick him up because his truck's in the shop.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Morning.
What are you doing?
I'm watching birds.
Is that right?
I've never seen you before.
Yeah, I'm just down here for a few days on business.
( tv playing ) Margie, after dinner, these are the parking lots I want you to leaflet.
I will, bill, but I'm swamped.
Aren't there people to pay to do this?
, they'll just throw the fliers away, say they did it And pocket the cash.
Joey, it's bill.
We're opening up our casino in three days.
I don't know if you're in arizona or where you are.
I wish we could get past this bad blood.
I wish you and wanda could drive up from arizona and be there.
Give me a call when you get this.
I need to run to the uniform company and explain That we want a more modest look like this with the longer sleeves.
This other business, it just-- It looks like a cocktail waitress.
Honey, is this the latest seating count?
This is it?
These buses are only half full.
People don't necessarily plan in advance, bill.
Let's not worry about it yet.
The ad is on!
Bill, the commercial-- it's running!
Man on tv: Blackfoot magic casino!
Food!
Family fun!
Woman: Entertainment!
Man: Genuine casino gaming!
Where can you be you?
Woman: Come join us.
Man: Just 85 minutes from salt lake city Near franklin, idaho, Blackfoot magic casino and family fun center.
Woman: Grand opening this Wednesday.
Fancy-free!
Dad, you gotta come!
They came to take mom away.
I don't know a thing!
I am not involved in any conspiracy!
Well, I'm starting to find that difficult to believe.
Why can't you leave us alone?
( door opens, closes ) Ld on!
What's going on here?
You've questioned her three times.
You've drug her downtown.
Now I'm getting fed up with you guys harassing us for no good reason.
Oh, we've got a reason.
Oh, yeah?
There was a raid on juniper creek.
Her father has been signing checks And depositing them into a bank account in her name.
That's not possible!
I haven't spoken to my mother or father in two months.
Here's the account: Bank of emprim, Nicolette eugenia grant.
Is that you or is that not you?
No, it's my name, but I don't know anything about that account.
So that's not your signature on file?
That's not your driver's license That's on file from when the account was opened?
I don't know.
Bill, help me here.
We're not downtown.
This is my private property, If that still has any meaning in this country.
Unless you've got a warrant, there's the front door.
And tell us again just what your interest is here, bill.
My wife and I are extremely close to miss grant.
Let's just stop beating around the bush.
Let's just acknowledge that she's your spirit wife.
My what?
You're polygamists.
I hope you're taping this word for word.
I've known this woman her whole life.
I was born in juniper creek.
I had her come and nurse my wife back from cancer.
We helped her out, we care for her deeply And I will not see her abused or her rights violated.
Get off of it.
We all know what the score is here.
Yeah?
Then try and prove it in court.
I will not allow them to keep persecuting us like this.
We pay taxes.
We fight for our country.
As long as our faith in the principle makes us weak In the eyes of the law, we will be vulnerable.
For pete's sake, what happened?
Roman's back from wherever he's been hiding.
He's been putting money in an account in nicki's name.
Look, I'll call mama.
No, don't use the phones.
What?
Don't look at me.
I didn't open it.
I don't know a thing!
- We didn't say we thought you did anything wrong.
You're suspicious.
I'm not blind.
I can see it in your eyes.
Fine, I give up.
I don't know what more I can do.
Nicki?
Nick!
Come back here.
We're not gonna be divided.
We're all on the same team.
Now we are moving heaven and earth to open this casino and we're all on edge, But we are gonna make it through this.
( thumps ) Hi.
Is it safe now?
What are you doing?
Ah!
Clearing out.
Your father's back.
Where?
Since when?
I don't know.
There was a mad search for him today by the f.B.I., And if he's here, we're not safe.
No no no no no no.
He'll make no immediate move against us, Not with a federal warrant hanging over his head.
Stay put.
Keep working the accounts.
Once the trustee arrives all funds will be frozen And our hands will be tied.
Where have you been?
Out.
I took a walk.
A hike.
Oh.
Oh, the 10-minute sale is happening, and it's in my hour.
It is my agate and sterling bracelet, and for the next 10 minutes, It's only $17.99.
That's right, for $17.99, you-- I'm sorry, that's $29.99.
For $29.99, you can have my beautiful...
Yeah, I made a little slip-up.
Slip-up?
That was awkward, it was embarrassing And it was amateurish.
We work on tight margins.
That is not something we can make up in volume.
I know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really so sorry.
This is not what I want to be seeing.
You've been distracted lately and it's showing.
I'm fine.
We're opening another business, My husband and I, and it's about to be up and running.
This business is the only business you have time for.
I understand-- I do-- And I have a plan how I'm going to pass off my other responsibilities.
Let's hope that works then.
I try not to stick my nose into the personal lives of my girls, But I have seen a lot of people with a lot of promise Burn out right around this very stage.
I am not going to burn out.
You have no idea how much this means to me, beverly.
Good.
That's the margene we hired.
Cute sweater.
( birds squawking ) ( pounding on door ) Parrot: Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
I'm back.
I sold the four napes.
No one wanted the smaller other kind.
Worthless clit.
Try as you might to avoid 'em, You always gonna wind up with A couple of stinking worthless clitorises.
Why do you call them that?
That's what they're called.
That's what the natives in mexico call them.
Here's your cut.
Now can you run and get me those extra locks?
Gram, if grandpa's really back, You can't just hide inside all day And buy more locks.
You don't know him.
He's angry.
He's-- he's calling.
He's...
Tryin' to get me.
Let me tell dad.
We can get a restraining order.
You don't know a thing about marriage.
Just puree the gruel And feed the birds outside before you leave.
I gotta get this room cleaned up.
I got some new ones coming in.
Where are you getting all these birds from anyway?
Swap meets.
Where else?
Nicki: Thank you.
Well, she's looking forward to it.
( phone beeps ) It was the school.
The center sent over your test results.
Did I place into the eighth grade?
No, honey.
Seventh?
I'm sorry.
I'm not in junior high?
No.
You're in senior high.
You tested one full grade ahead.
In math, you're 12th grade.
You're a math whiz.
So we'd better step on it-- new dresses.
Senior high starts one full week earlier.
The management company has trained enough workers To go from 9:00 a.M.
To 11:00 p.M.
And three weeks from now, we'll be able to staff 24/7.
I got the buses ready to extend till midnight when we do.
Toilets were finally installed yesterday, And we just passed inspection.
I can't believe it's just a temporary space.
That's right, jerry.
And the tents are just a promise of bigger things to come.
Tommy.
Bill.
We might have a problem.
What is it?
You.
Me?
The f.B.I.
Just called.
They're sending an agent to our tribal offices.
They implied you might be using our accounts to launder funds.
They want to see the ledgers for any transfers we might have made To mexico on your behalf.
Whoa whoa whoa.
Jerry, I'm being harassed.
The feds and the f.B.I.
Are no friends of mine right now, And I'm sure you of all people understand.
One of the reasons my father chose you Is you made a promise Not to bring vegas-style problems to our reservation.
We thought you were the sunny face of polygamy.
What's this all about?
It's about the mess that roman grant left behind.
And I give you my word, my hands are clean.
Bill, we can't be in bed with a partner who's involved in criminal activity.
Maybe you should remain a silent partner and not show up for the opening.
Just a sec.Hold on.
Who made the miracle in the desert happen for you guys?
I did.
No one else could have gotten those tents up this fast.
We needed the money; it was my idea and we're partners.
Send the f.B.I.
To me.
I'll take care of 'em.
Is that it?
Actually, There's another problem we'd like to discuss.
Crab legs?
Yes, crab gs.
And I stand by it.
It wasn't jerry.
It was his son tommy, right?
What did he say?
He didn't say anything.
Why on earth can't they just talk to me about it?
Is that too much to ask?
Honey, we're guests up there, and we need to be careful Not to step on anybody's moccasins.
Bill!
I was as diplomatic as I could be.
Oh, and I resent that.
I resent that look.
They wanted baked salmon served at the opening.
Well, the salmon used to be a pretty important fish in idaho.
Well, I'm sure it was, but mormons don't like salmon.
We like crab legs.
And if it's an all-you-can-eat With a "kids eat free" sign, well...
We are in like flynn.
Honey?
- Nobody in utah eats salmon.
That's all I'm saying.
Honey, this isn't just about salmon.
You've got to take it a little slower.
Are we a mormon-friendly casino or not?
That was the idea.
Then I'm just doing my job.
And if the most that they have to worry about is crab legs, Well, then they must lead a very charmed existence, Don't you think?
Margie, please, You need to spend a little more time up there.
Jerry asks about you constantly and as you can see-- I think that barb is doing a super in bill.
And you know, this is so important for her after her ex-communication.
She needs this for her self-esteem.
You need to support her.
- Margene!
We need this casino.
It's our financial security.
And she's a diamond in the rough, bill.
A diamond in the rough.
Maybe, but we need this.
That's it.
Do we understand each other?
Mm-hmm.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
I want you to call off the dogs.
What dogs would you be referring to, bill?
It has become your personal vendetta and we both know it.
I don't know what mess you're in now, But I'm quite sure it's of your own making.
My family's being pilloried and we're innocent.
Is that so?
Roman grant disappears the night before His planned arrest.
Other than my office, You're the only one that knows that's about to happen.
Yeah, and I wanted to see him put in jail more than anyone.
Just tell me-- what's it gonna take to get you off our backs?
Nothing ends until roman grant is arrested.
Is that how you save your pride?
Going after a woman and her children?
If you're still standing there the next time I turn around, I swear I will have you arrested.

- Thank you, bishop pettis.
I just had to hear it to be sure.
You've got the gig.
( all laughing ) There was little comment from the bureau, however, Except to say that there's substantial evidence That grant continues to use funds From the compound's ueb, Which, as you know, maria, Has been placed into the hands of a state-appointed trustee Because of grant's fugitive status, Which renders him unable to properly oversee The assets in the $200 million trust.
The new trustee convenes a first meeting tomorrow, Which of course...
Bill, enough.
Go on.
In a minute.
I'm just prepping for the hearing tomorrow.
Well, fine, do it at nicki's.
You can't keep sitting over here and avoiding her like this.
Honey, just go on.
It's her night.
It's not right punishing her for what's happening Bill: Well, do you believe her?
Barb: About being in touch with her parents?
I do, Because I choose to believe her.
Huh.
Great.
And I take no pleasure in this.
I'm just gonna ask, Just to know where we are in this family, And I know it's certainly none of my business-- Honey, what?
( stammers ) Did-- have you and nicki repaired your relationship?
We're still trying to work things out.
No, I mean, have you...
Repaired it yet?
Barb.
No, we're not there yet.
Barb: You can't blame me for asking.
Just go over there and see her.
Bill: I'm not going over there tonight.
Barb: Go.
Bill: No, we're not there yet.
( birds chirping ) Morning.
Morning, benny.
We got the gig.
We're playing at the singles ward social next Friday.
Oh, that's wonderful, honey.
No, mom, it's a big deal.
It's our first paying performance.
I think that's really great, benny.
Margie, could you call nicki And tell her and cara lynn that breakfast is ready?
And I am gonna need that extra dozen.
Bill: Okay, sweetheart.
I love you too.
That was teenie.
She says hello.
She'll call you later to arrange picking her up next week.
She's not answering.
( door closes ) Shake a leg.
Barb?
( nicki speaks softly ) What's going on here?
Bill.
Nicki inside?
No, she's not here, And I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Next time use the front door, Because this is called trespassing.
What nicki is doing is called kidnapping.
Don't talk to him, bill!
Don't listen to a word he says!
You don't know what he is capable of.
All I want is my daughter.
She is going to go to school and that's that, j.J.
She's very smart.
She's gifted.
That is not your decision to make.
Now I gave you a few extra days and you start hanging up on me?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Nicki, you expressly told me you'd worked all this out.
He just wants to place her.
He wants to put her in the joy book.
Is that true?
Absolutely not.
She's my daughter.
I just want to see her.
She's enrolled in school.
It starts this week.
Now wait one minute.
You waltz back into her life after 12 years, And you think you're gonna make decisions without my consent?
He still wants me.
He still loves me, bill.
We have to be on guard at all times.
We have to be vigilant.
Honey, that's enough.
Nicki, I want you to go in the house.
No.
- Go in the house and let us talk.
Just go and have breakfast.
( chuckling ) I don't know what it is, but she just gets me going.
But I know you're having your own problems too.
I'm not gonna talk about nicki with you.
We'll work this out amicably.
Neither of us can have the law involved in this dispute.
If you deal square with me, I'll deal square with you.
Daddy?
Honey.
You were supposed to be back four days ago.
You had me worried.
I know.
I just wanted the chance to go to school, papa.
That's all.
I just didn't know how to tell you.
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Honey, I'll put you back in school if that's what you want.
How about weekends, j.J.?
We'll make sure you get her every weekend, And nicki will hold to the bargain.
All right.
Thank you.
I just want a chance to get to know my moer a little bit better too.
I don't really like it here.
Don't worry.
When you go back to kansas, I'll go with you.
( country western music playing ) * I keep a close watch on this heart of mine * * I keep my eyes wide open all the time * * I keep the ends out for the tie that binds * * because you're mine * * I walk the line...
* ( fender scrapes ) I was so glad that you called.
( engine stops ) And I told you I'd be here just as quick as a cricket.
Oh, boy.
How pretty are you?
What's on your mind, my dear?
I was wrong In attempting to hasten your demise-- Which in the end I just could not do.
It's worth remembering.
Why don't you lean on over here And give your love-starved husband a kiss?
( tires screech ) Ahh!
( grunts ) ( gun cocks ) ( grunts ) I am not a fool, frank.
I could smell your goon squad a mile away.
( tires squeal ) filthy washbarns!
You don't think for one second that I would ever try To harm a hair on your chinny chin chin, do you?
I brought them to protect me!
Boy.
We are going to be civilized And...
Gonna go get some ice-cream cones...
Reacquaint ourselves with each other And see if, over time, There might still be something Meaningful in our marriage.
I would hope for nothing more than that.
And then...
You're gonna bring me right back here And let me out.
Do we understand each other?
Always.
Then drive.
The rest of the mums have been delivered to the warehouse And the grower's renting his van.
I'm picking them up at 4:00 a.M.
So when I get to the casino, I'll have plenty of time to cut them.
Marge, could you call jerry or tommy And check on the available number of unsold seats on the bus?
No, why don't you?
I'd just rather you do it.
Barb.
- Okay, because I'm finding it To be a petty bac k-biting environment up there.
I mean, they're-- they're fearful.
I think they're sexist.
Oh no, barb.
Well, they're certainly anti-mormon.
I really don't think so.
Then they just don't like me.
All right, that's right.
That's it.
I know it is.
I-- I just-- I just don't know what I'm doing up there.
Why am I putting myself through all this torture?
You're so good at it, barb.
I could never do everything that you're doing.
You just need to spend more time up there.
Think about what a great role model you're gonna be For young girls everywhere.
It's so important.
Margie, just stop.
You're blossoming.
No.
You're blossoming, margie.
The fact is I'm just drifting.
No, you're just changing, is all.
We all are.
We're all just changing.
I told bill I was prepared to meet kenny up at the airport, Drive him up, but bill said he felt more comfortable hiring a car.
Well, heaven forbid we should upset bill.
What?
I'm just stating the obvious.
Forgiveness is a commodity That's pretty hard to come by in this family.
Barb: Under the circumstances, Nicki, I'd say we've been very forgiving.
Margie: Nicki, I know that you and bill will be able To reestablish intimacy really really soon.
What?
- Don't you even try and go there with me.
I know you had the gall to ask bill, And I know he had the colossal gall to tell you Because I heard you.
Oh.
Great.
I'm so glad my intimate relationship with bill Is such a fascinating topic of conversation between the three of you.
You know what?
I'll certainly keep you two posted If and when something develops.
It's okay, nicki.
No, it most certainly is not okay!
I'm terribly sorry.
It just came up in conversation.
And don't get mad at me.
I have been carrying the brunt.
I have been picking up your share, believe me.
Margene!
Not that I mind.
( phone ringing ) Hello?
( clacking sound ) Nicki: Mama.
Please don't hang up on me.
Nicki, I am so deeply remorseful For all our recent acrimony.
What are you doing calling me?
Honey, it's an emergency!
We've had a blackout down here.
Mama, I have been accused of opening a secret account for papa.
You tell me what's going on.
My food reserves are melting, the air-- I can't breathe.
I desperately need you to go get a generator From your husband's store and bring it to me asap.
No!
I mean, I'm being drug into the middle of all your criminal activity.
Are you aiding and abetting papa?
Please, I'm begging you, nicki.
I'm desperate, please.
Please go get me a generator!
Man: As the official stat e-appointed trustee, I want to assure everyone that we are sensitive About your fears of the state intruding into your affairs.
This is an illegal interference of a know-nothing government That thinks it knows everything!
I pledge to you-- I bring no hidden agenda.
I'm a senior partner at cromwell, ashe, I've chaired the professional conduct committee Of the utah association of c.P.A.S, And I'm guided by an advisory panel Comprised of men and women with strong connections To your community.
We're not here to take des.
I come from juniper creek.
Our only purpose is to administer to the trust In the best interest of you, the beneficiaries in the community, period.
Alby: This is an illegal, gestapo-like invasion To destroy us because of our religious beliefs.
The state is using the pretext of a trustee To get its hands on our assets.
Excuse us, won't you?
Alby?
Why don't you get onboard?
Now we are going to drag the compound Into the 21st century whether you like it or not.
Don't pretend you're a friend of juniper creek.
You're a judas.
I know you're the mastermind behind this trustee thing, Behind the raids.
I'm a victim of the raids.
I know your game.
You will never be prophet.
I have no taste for prophets.
I chased your father from this compound, and I've got news for you: He's a far tougher man than you.
At least we can talk.
Dale, you got a sec?
Dale, this is albert grant, Roman's second in command.
It's fair to refer to you as that?
That would be a fair representation, I suppose.Nt, It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, thank you!
Thank you for coming!
When the chips are really down, there you are.
I'm not hooking this up until you tell me what's going on.
Goodbye.
No, don't leave me!
Why are you screaming at me?
What is going on?
Well, you can't drive back on an empty stomach.
I'll make you a b.L.T.!
Bacon.
I need some bacon.
Mama, I don't want a sandwich.
I'm not hungry.
- Yes, I want to make you a sandwich.
Just-- just go down into the cellar And get me some bacon from the walk-in.
Please let me make you a b.L.T.!
Just get the bacon!
Get me bacon, please!
( both scream ) I didn't know how to tell you.
How could you have sent me in there when you knew?
Your father's dead.
The prophet's dead.
You're gonna have to face that fact.
All right, let's just sit down calmly And try to think things out.
Oh, honey, this is a real pickle.
No, this does not make sense.
Why is he in the freezer?
Because he's dead.
Did you kill him?
No!
How dare you?
I walked into his bedroom To celebrate his return from banishment, And there he was with his guitar.
Oh, your beautiful father, probably in the midst Of singing his beloved "canciones mexicanas," Apparently struck dead by joy in the middle of his prime.
What else could I do?
He said he was going to live to 126.
I had to protect his image from being tarnished I had to think about his legacy.
Well, who knows?
Not a single soul, And don't you tell anybody.
We have to turn him over to the f.B.I.
You can't ask me to do that.
I won't!
Mama, do you know what trouble this has brought down on bill and my family?
My marriage is on the line.
Well, I'm a widow!
We are all gonna wind up in jail.
I mean, papa's in the freezer?
You can't keep him there forever.
Well, I won't turn him over.
You can't make me.
You have to-- now!
No, I don't.
I won't.
( thuds ) ( door opening ) lura: Ow!
I couldn't stop her, father.
She bit me.
Papa's dead.
What?
He is dead, alby.
He's really really dead.
Are you sure?
Are you 100% sure?
No, you be sad!
It's very very sad!
Mama's had him in the freezer for weeks.
She refuses to give him up.
She killed him?
No, she found him dead.
He died.
She was afraid of telling the cops.
She's gone half crazy.
How do you know she didn't kill him?
How do I know you didn't kill him?
Maybe bill killed him.
Maybe he didn't.
I can't take it.
I'm going home.
You just go over there and fix it.
His death has to be announced and she won't listen to me.
- ( door slams ) At long last!
Shall we, darling?
My destiny is fulfilled...
And god will surely punish he who blocks my path to glory.
I've opened up other businesses in my day, But none have filled me with the pride and humility I feel standing before you at this moment.
I know your people were at the forefront Of the ghost dance movement of the last century, Struggling to assert your identity Against an overwhelming invasion by a foreign culture.
Well, I believe in my heart Tomorrow's opening of this casino Offers us all a second chance for self-determination, And in some small way may right some of the wrongs that history has left us.
( country western music playing ) * love is like a butterfly * * as soft and gentle as a sigh * * the multicolored moods of love * * are like its satin wings...
* How long do you think it will take him to defrost?
A dressed deer can take a day or two.
How long will it take you, dear papa?
Maybe never...
For your heart is made of ice.
Will you stop talking to him?
It frightens me.
Did you see that?
( gasps ) what?
What?
He just gave me a mean look Because he knows I'm gonna be the prophet now.
* I think of butterflies * * love is like * * a butterfly.
* ( birds cawing ) Bird: Hello!
Hello!
Mmm.
Oh!
Frank!
S-stop.
Don't.
You-- you know you don't want this.
Now don't resist.
( whimpering ) I don't want to hurt you.
- No.
I just want to kill you.
( screams ) Ahh!
Ahh!
Oh!
Oh!
Ow!
My hip.
My hip.
I don't give a goddamn about your hip.
I've got no sympathy for you.
Oh!
Oh!
Oh, my back!
( shouts in spanish ) Ow.
( grunts ) Oh, my hip is out.
What the fuck is with all these birds, lois?
( squawks ) Frank, you know I don't like that language.
When will you let me live-- Frank-- frank, will you...
Let me live in peace For a percentage of, Uh, a neat little business I've got going?
What kind of little business?
Selling birds to pet shops.
I buy 'em for $30 And I sell 'em for $700.
Where do you get 'em for $30?
( chuckling ) That's my little girl.
You're just the little smuggler, aren't you, lois?
I am a purveyor of birds.
That's all you need to know.
Ah.
Now do we have a deal or not?
Hmm.
( cell phone ringing ) This is bill.
Man: Mr.
Henrickson, It's smiley from lumber.
You said to call you if I accidentally stepped on any toes Or ran into any problems.
Yeah, smiley, what's up?
There's a problem.
Barb: Huge problem!
Huge!
Kenny's flight was delayed so he didn't make his connection.
His equipment arrived, but what if-- What if he's late?
I just knew it was too good to be true.
Kenny-- ( gasps ) ( flies buzzing ) He's dead, barb.
Oh no, bill!
Don't-- No no no no!
Don't touch him.
Don't touch him.
Oh, dear lord.
What are you looking at?
No!
No, don't look.
Don't let her see it.
Barb: Nicki, stay there!
What is it?
No, please please, nicki!
( gasps ) Barb: It's okay.
That miserable, rotten, son of a-- Nicki, sweetie, don't go there.
It was alby.
Alby killed him?
No!
He dumped him here.
He's setting us up.
What?
He's been dead for weeks.
You knew about this?
No, I-- ( cell phone ringing ) Bill: Yeah, what's up, jerry?
What do you mean an anonymous tip?
No!
No!
Jerry, I'll be right there.
Where are we going?
Should you call the police or the f.B.I.?
They're already on their way.
It's my family, bill.
I can handle it.
Just let me take care of it.
How long have you known?
Since yesterday.
Mama called.
She had him in the freezer.
I told alby to deal with it.
I'm just trying to save us from all this!
Everyone stop!
You wait here till I get back.
You and you-- marge, you come and keep an eye On ben and cara lynn, And barb, you-- you come with me.
Smiley, make sure no one comes close to this spot.
And throw a tarp over it.
The f.B.I.
Boise field office received an anonymous tip That roman grant is at the casino.
And we told them it wasn't credible.
Well, it wasn't.
We've stalled them, But we're not gonna hold them at bay forever.
And a swat team is not something we want running around at our opening.
Come on, they'd handle a crank call like this by sending in a swat team?
He's on the "10 most wanted" list.
They faxed us this.
And apparently he's your father-in-law.
This is some kind of hoax.
You give me an hour To find out who's making these anonymous calls, And I'll personally talk to the f.
B.I.
And tell them who to swat.
And that's a promise.
Come on.
- No, gentlemen, In the same spirit of full disclosure And airing issues just face to face rather than through third parties, If you've got problems in the future with me, My decisions or my decision-making, I invite you to share them with me...
Personally.
So...
There.
Good grief, barb, not the time or place.
Anybody come around?
No one.
But that lady just went down into that pit and lost it.
Nicki!
( nicki grunts ) Nick, what are you doing?
Stop.
- Please just let me fix it!
Stop!
Please.
I wanted to take care of it without worrying you.
That's the reason I didn't tell you.
You're not thinking straight.
What were you gonna do?
I'm gonna take him into the desert and you'll never see him again.
And you'll never see me again either.
No, stop it!
That's not what we're gonna do.
Margie!
I'm still shaking.
I am still shaking.
Where's bill?
He left with nicki to take our little problem back from whence it came, But he's left us in charge until he gets back.
Barb, I don't know how to say this without you getting worried-- Kenny's manager just called And kenny's plane is now being diverted to spokane On account of a forest fire in boise.
A forest fire?!
Shh.
What?
Calm down.
What are we gonna do?
Are those my crab legs?
They need to be on ice.
They're in styrofoam.
This is intentional.
Barb, don't go there.
I need you to concentrate.
Don't go there.
Come here.
Kenny!
I got it.
All right.
Ben, take care of cara lynn.
Do you want a cold burger?
No.
