* ( music continues ) - ben: I'm so glad to be back.
I just want everything to be normal.
( whispering ) but wait- you were held in an ostrich pen?
Yeah, it was so intense, sarah.
( whispering ) then uncle joey confessed he killed roman.
What?!
- Shh!
Dad hasn't had the chance to tell nicki.
If it's about margene, I know.
What?
She got married.
( sighs ) to ana's fiance.
And mom tried to stop her.
But dad doesn't know yet.
Teenie: Sorry, ben.
* build with bill, build with bill * * building with bill will get you more...
* Dinner!
- All hands better be washed.
Wayne, turn off your dad's song.
( music stops ) ( baby fussing ) I like your new jingle, dad.
Well thanks, ben.
You know, it is catchy.
Very catchy.
You're very creative, bill.
Teenie: I've been clipping articles, Helping daddy prepare for his debate tomorrow.
Ben: Dad, why can't we come watch?
Bill: Because that's what mrs.
Usher and I decided.
( door closes ) ( chuckles ) oh, my.
You look great, mom.
Nicki?
Nicki-- wow. "
nicki wow" what?
No.
No, just "wow."
What, barb?
Don't you want to put your 2¢ in?
No.
I'm good.
Why can't I dress like you two if I want to?
It-- it's just a change.
You weren't dressed...
Like that this morning.
I went shopping this afternoon.
Sarah, how did you and scott like portland?
I don't see what the big deal is!
Don't I have the right to be normal?
Portland?
Fantastic.
We had a great time.
In fact, so great That we've decided to move there.
( silverware clatters ) We didn't plan it.
We were just walking around.
We saw an apartment, fell in love with it And put a deposit down before we left.
Barb: But, sarah honey, Do either of you have a job set up?
Actually, it wasn't a belated honeymoon.
We went because scott had a job interview.
What kind of job?
What about you?
What about my birthday?
We're not gonna leave before your birthday party.
I promise you.
When exactly are you planning on leaving?
Soon.
Before the election?
Because of the apartment and scott might have a job.
But he doesn't have it yet.
Pass the potatoes, please.
We always knew this day would come.
This is more than that and you know it.
You know as well as I do that she could've given us a heads up, But she's been sitting on it.
Barb: Well, I didn't tell you everything either About what's going on with the casino.
What, more bomb scares?
Kind of.
Just tell me.
The bomb scares, protests and leaflets-- Marilyn densham is behind it all.
What are you saying?
She's in bed with the evangelicals, Families for a responsible america and ron reed.
She hired his ornization to attack us.
She hirehim?
You can prove this?
Yes, pretty much.
She creates the problem, then gets herself hired As the solution.
She hosted a junket with ron reed For congressman paley in scotland.
How do you know paley's involved?
I don't for sure, but I know He was with them for five days in scotland.
This is unbelievable.
A giant scam to deceive us.
Yes, and it worked.
I hired her, bill.
Barb.
I'm sorry.
I fell for it.
The evangelica were mobilizing against us I thought we needed her.
We're in the home stretch Of the campaign and you dump this in my lap?
We're barely up by five points.
A woman whose phone calls get returned by the white house And the poster boy of the evangelical right Now have their hands around our safety net-- the casino?
Yes.
You're fired.
What?
Oh, you're done at the casino.
You completely screwed up.
Wait, bill.
I made a mistake.
Excuse me.
You defied me.
Great.
And I still have to go tell nicki That my brother killed her father.
( water running ) Nicki, are you in there, hon?
Nicki: I'll be out in a sec.
Honey, I've got something important to talk about.
( water stops ) I'm not going to stop changing Just because people can't deal with it.
I'm going forwards, not backwards.
Remember this?
Of course I do.
What did you want to do to me in it?
Lots.
Don't you like it?
Sweetheart, I love it.
But...
Maybe this isn't the ght time.
We need to have a talk.
Come on, have a seat.
Nick, I understand.
I do.
You're sorting through a lot.
I had my own separationstruggle.
I just want to be the woman you want me to be.
That's all.
You already are.
No.
No, you don't understand.
I'm having difficulty, bill, Conceiving.
I didn't know how to tell you...
Honey?
-...But I'm trying really really hard And I'm praying to conceive.
Do you believe me?
Yes, of course I do.
I'm seeing a new specialist.
He's supposed to be the best.
He's been very encouraging.
I have faith in him.
Hey, whatever it is, we'll get through it.
It's all right.
It's gonna be all right.
( women chatting ) ( clapping ) I want to thank you all for coming out.
I'm here, obviously, on bill's behalf.
You know, there's something unique about utah women-- We never stop serving our faith, Our husbands, our children And our communities.
We do it all, don't we?
And we expect ourselves to do it perfectly.
We're not always comfortable With admitting that we're overwhelmed.
But maybe it's okay To not feel like we have to be perfect all the time.
It's all right to make a mistake once in a while.
And maybe we'd be better off admitting We are not superwoman Instead of running to our medicine cabinets For our sedatives and our antidepressants.
( whispers ) barbie.
Well, we all know what I'm talking about.
We turn to our prozac, Our xanax and our benadryl.
( laughs ) we've all been there, right?
( whispering ) I spoke to brother caleb about it.
- Okay, good.
Nicki: How many more rounds of shots before I can conceive?
A bit of patience wouldn't hurt.
I know.
It's just so hard to hold onto the hope When you want it so badly.
The first shots were to mimic a surge in luteinizing hormone To cause a maturing of the eggs and their release in the ovaries.
This is progesterone.
It's gonna prepare the lining of your uterus to receive the embryo.
Oh.
( chuckles ) ( door opens ) That horrible troll toby needs to be punished.
It's all right, darling.
No, it's not all right, j.J.
He's running around besmirching you, Claiming that roman was tryg to reprimand you.
It's not true, dear.
I know it's not true.
I would've known if it was true, Because I knew everything.
And why would he have wanted to censure you, anyway?
Just drop it.
( gasps ) Hello, nicolette.
Hi, mama.
What are you doing here?
I was just dropping my wife off for her checkup.
So how are your treatments going?
What was your diagnosis?
Ll, we found out that I have high blood pressure.
Put her on lipitor.
I can manage her prescriptions myself.
Please calm down.
Please don't overreact.
Why not?
- I think when you've had a chance To think it all through and see that this was You'll understand that what I did was drastic, yesry, But effective.
It's preposterous!
I know it's not ideal.
I come back from mexico To find out my wife's married some igor?
I did it for our family.
You keep saying that, But iteems to me this lunatic idea to nab a new husband Was made by someone desperate not to be identified as a polygamist So she could save her business reputation.
That's not true!
Just stop!
What is the big deal?!
Everyone is running around hysteric, it's the d of the world.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
It is not real.
It's a paper marriage.
It is not real.
Margie, don't you get it?
You've gone and legally married another man.
That's real.
- But for you to say that a marriage certificate Means that I'm more married to goran than to you Is to say that you're more married to barb than to me.
No, don't even try to go there.
I'm not gonna let this be a big deal.
I love you.
I am married to you and only to you.
Ah.
This is just temporary.
You bet it is.
You're either part of this campaign, this family, Or you're not.
We're done talking.
I've got to go clean up barb's mess now.
( slot machines chiming ) ( people chattering ) ( coins clinking ) What are you doing here?
Well, I thought about it And I'm going to the meeting.
No, you're not, barb.
Oh, I am not gonna let you fire me for one mistake.
And even if you did fire me, I happen to be on the board of directors, So I have the authority to rehire me.
Both: Sorry we're late.
Good, you made it.
Have a seat.
( cell phone rings ) I wanted you all here in the same room so we could Settle our differences.
I'm sorry, but I've got to step out-- A little problem with the cashier.
( chuckles ) quite the revolving door around here.
( door closes ) bill: Sorry about that.
For those of you who don't know, this is mr.
Ron reed, President of the f.R.A., Families for a responsible america.
This is marilyn densham, our lobbyist.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
Miss densham, nice to meet you.
I'd like to think I can lead us in a productive mediation.
Shall we begin?
Sure.
Now that we're all here, why don't we drop the pretense?
I'm sorry?
- You know each other.
You're in cahoots.
You're both running a dog and pony show Trying to shake us down.
( marilyn laughs ) Barb, what on earth is he talking about?
You're not dealing with her.
You're dealing with me now.
Not as long as you're ranting around like a caveman.
Jerry, this is your tribe.
We agreed we're going to sort this out calmly, Solve our problems without escalating-- Solve?
Solve what?
I don't know what he's talking about.
Do you or do you not deny knowing each other?
We may have attended some of the same events.
I don't know.
- Like your junket last week to scotland?
What of it?
I like bagpipes.
What about you?
You like bagpipes too?
I'm not sure what you think-- Let me tell you what I think.
I think you get him to create problems at our casino Then extort us to hire you to fix them.
Oh, really?
Is that what I do?
And I think you filled congressman paley's coffers So he'll support legislation that this guy's band of fanatics lobby for.
You're running for office and I could knock you down like a bowling pin.
Bill: You think so?
Well, try this on for size.
You've both been caught red-handed.
You're about to become more toxic than a nuclear dump.
Oh, come on.
You're out of your mind.
Well, yes, maybe I am, Unless you want to stand trial for planting a bomb.
I did not plant any bomb!
And if you repeat that...
I will sue you to kingdom come.
No state senate wannabe And some madeup little tribe are gonna frame me.
You're fired.
No, I quit.
Fine, but let's be clear.
If there is a single protester out front tomorrow, So much as a leaflet in any car window, I will expose you and end your public careers.
Now get out of my sight.
Katie, get my laptop and all my papers And let's t the hell out of this fucking pup tent.
That was a little close for comfort.
We got it back into her office just in time.
It'll take us a day or so to see if we get anything.
Man: Mr.
Grant, the attorney general's office Is determined to get to the bottom of the events Surrounding the death of mr.
Tomasson.
Now his body was found in an apartment On west sycamore drive.
Do you have any knowledge of that apartment?
No, sir.
I do not.
Well, the apartment was rented with u.E.B.
Funds.
As you know, our access to our funds was frozen By the appointment of the trustee.
Man: Except for your operations account.
I know nothing about the rental of any apartment.
Man: The only other person with access to those funds Was the trustee himself.
Just so.
Are you implying That mr.
Tomasson rented the apartment himself?
I am saying that I didn't.
Why would he have embezzled moneys for an apartment?
I-- I don't know.
Mr.
Grant, why does your demeanor suggest that you do?
* he's a family man right to his core.
* Man on radio: And that's the latest salv In the surprisingly tight district 8 senate race That's become a major spending war Between councilwoman leslie newton usher And businessman bill henrickson.
The second of their three debates is tomorrow And ksl will be-- ( door closes ) hey, pam, Is something wrong with the sign?
I have another one in the house.
Some of us struggle mightily With our needs for prescribed medications, And I don't appreciate ignorant comments that belittle us.
( door closes ) Hi.
Where's mom?
She's still at work.
It's for teenie's birthday.
I've gotta hide it in the pantry.
Why are you leaving, really?
Because scott got a great job.
I told you that.
It's not about a job.
You're bailing on the vision of this family.
You're running away.
Okay, maybe I am, Because you're running for office And I don't want to be a part of what happens next.
I don't want to be on that train.
Fine.
I just wanted to be clear on that.
Cheer up.
Last week's cash reports look good.
Barb: Tommy, I just want to apologize to you For this whole mess with marilyn.
It's not just your fault.
My father and I voted for her too.
Yes, but you acted out of good intentions.
I'm not sure I did.
I was angry at my husband And I lashed out by hiring her.
And I'm ashamed Of what's ppened because of it.
Barb...
You've done a really good job here.
Don't beat yourself up.
But if I put the casino, the reservation at risk Because of my wounded pride...
Thank you.
This marriage has to be annulled.
Well, I am sorry it happened while you were far away, But we had to act fast because of goran's immigration problems.
Bill: Of course, I wish I had been told beforehand, Just as I wish I had been told you had a fiance When you asked me for money.
For child support, which you offered.
You wanted a baby.
I thought this would make you happy.
Our baby is a separate matter.
We were going to be deported.
Just try and see things from my point of view.
Once I'm elected, I'll have a certain influence.
I can probably make goran's immigration problems go away.
Doggone it!
Margene is my wife.
I can't share her with you and goran.
Why not?
Because it's unnatural.
That's why.
( laughs ) A man has to know his woman is his.
It's just the way it is.
Are you aware of what you're saying?
Of course I am.
A woman cannot have two husbands.
That's just wrong.
How can you say that?
I'm not a hypocrite.
I explained our religion to you.
I told you all about it.
I think you're crazy.
You're crazy.
Honey, we asked u to join us at our wives meeting Now that you yourself are a wife.
We thought it might be fun for you to see how we do things.
Okay.
- We go over tasks, responsibilities And pressing family matters.
What are we discussing today?
We thought we would discuss you.
And scott.
And portland.
This is not a meeting And I'm not going through this again.
- Sit!
We are worried is all.
You just got married.
Suddenly you're moving away, No talk of college.
- You're going to be all alone without family.
I'll be with scott.
You have been through so many emotional rough patches.
Running over that indian then taking her baby.
That's not exactly how it happened, nicki.
Honey, what do you really know about this portland place?
I mean, I looked it up.
There's heroin everywhere.
Look.
I love you And it is really scary moving to portland.
I don't have any friends.
I don't know anybody.
I don't have a job.
But that is what I'm gonna do, Because I have to.
And I thought That you'd all understand, Because none of you want to go public either.
Come on, mom.
You've been resenting Dad's campaign more and more every single day.
You married goran just to avoid exposure.
And you-- You're onboard, And I don't even know what's going on with you.
I'm onboard because I love bill!
Oh.
It's true.
I love bill.
Bill: One further point on the issue of bike lanes: I think that every company that makes bikes Should produce a video that will instruct the cyclists As to exactly what the rules of the road are.
Woman: Thank you, mr.
Henrickson.
Moving on.
Lately, many people feel That it's become open season on family values.
Explain how family will influence your tenure if elected.
Mr.
Henrickson.
There's nothing more important than family.
It, along with faith, Is the foundation for every choice I make.
Fringe groups can attack us all they want, But in the end we're not easily fooled.
Leslie: You know, bill, it's one thing When the attacks come from the outside, But at a recenteagle fot Your wife barbara characterized utah women As so many weak-minded drug addicts.
Now I don't want to make this personal, But I couldn't disagree more.
My wife would never say such a thing.
I'm sure that it was something that was taken out of context.
No, unfortunately, she did say it.
Now maybe it's because she doesn't spend that much time in utah.
I mean, I believe that she works out of state, Running the indian gambling palace that you own?
Now hold on, that gaming center provides Jobs and opportunities where neither existed.
Yes, but our mothers, our sisters, Our daughters, our women are The true treasures of this great state.
We devote our lives to the creation of strong families.
Careful.
- Tell me exactly what you said About utah women being drug addicts.
I never called anyone an addict.
You said something at eagle forum.
- Well, I-- I don't remember exactly what I said.
Try.
I made an off-the-cuff comment About utah women overusing prescription medications.
Mm-hmm.
It's a proven fact.
You can't say that.
You've got to retract it.
Leslie newton usher's making a big stink about it.
Good.
It ought to be addressed.
We are asked to be perfect, And it is an impossible standard to meet.
No wonder we dip into the medicine chest.
There are many things that are true, barbara, That we don't go saying in public for a variety of reasons.
I know you feel guilty about hiring marilyn, But please don't dig your heels in over this.
I made a statement and I stand by it, And I don't need a lecture about my motives.
Fine.
I've arranged An interview for us tomorrow at k.C.T.W.
We'll address it there.
Oh, I don't think This is a good time for an interview, bill.
I need to start playing offense in this campaign.
I want the whole family there.
Oh, the whole family?
Sarah?
Sarah made her choice.
Mm-hmm, and you've been freezing her out because of it.
You and this campaign drove her away.
( water sloshes ) I can't-- I can't wait for this to be over and done.
( knocks ) hello.
Hello, marilyn.
What are you doing at v.S.N.?
Well, I was in the neighborhood And I remembered you worked here.
So this is shopping tv.
This is it.
Just this.
So you were in the neighborhood?
Honestly, congressman paley sent me To extend his regards to you.
He had such a wonderful time at the casino.
( whispers ) I think he's looking for a second date.
I didn't want to give him your number without asking first...
Unless you're attached, of course.
Yes, I am, actually.
Oh, that's right-- bill henrickson.
I saw you two up at the casino this morning.
No, not bill.
You misunderstood.
Bill is an investor in my business.
That's all.
Didn't you two just meet at the convention?
That was before...
Then, I mean.
Oh.
Well, how lucky for you.
Well, I will let paley know that you are not available.
Lovely to see you, margene.
( door closes ) Come on, teenie.
Get the lead out, please.
At the rate you're going, I'm never gonna be packed.
I don't want you to leave me here.
I know it's hard, but you'll be fine.
I don't want to be a public polygamist either.
Teenie!
Guys!
I went to l.D.S.
Camp to fit in And I did.
And finally I'm popular.
And I'm not giving that up.
Dad is doing what's best for us.
Ben, after everything that has happened to you, When are you gonna stop defending him?
When are you gonna see dad for what he is?
I have.
He saved me in mexico.
I saw him willing to die for me and he would do the same thing for you.
You're the one who needs to stop looking at him like you did when you were 13.
Come on, teenie, we've got to get home.
Sarah, the campaign and the u.
E.B.
Trusteeship Have dad so stressed out.
And he's too proud To ask you to be there with us at that interview, But I'm not.
He needs you.
Good to have you back, bill.
Good to see you, roger.
Winston, I know the investigation Into dale's death has hard on everyone.
I appreciate your staying on with me.
You're the point person for the kansas ranch.
How's the audit going?
It's tough.
The books and records have all been subpoenaed, But there's constant stonewalling.
Well, that figures.
They've been stonewalling forever.
But now that I'm in charge, it's going to stop.
I want you to go there in person.
Can you free up the next few days?
Sure, I'd love to knock some heads together.
Good.
I've arranged a contact for you At the sedgwick county sheriff department To get you on and off the ranch.
And I need you to get the scuttlebutt on what they've got-- New investigations, possible indictments, Seal or unsealed, hearsay or rumor-- I don't care.
Something's up.
I'm in the middle of a campaign and I don't want any surprises.
Okay, keep in touch.
Okay.
To our strong, growing family.
To the generations past And the absent ones yet to return.
To our future.
To this glorious pregnancy And this stalwart vessel Who makes it all possible.
Father.
- He that died for us upon the cross In his last hour Was mindful of his mother, As if to teach us that this holy love Should be our last earthly thought From which we should take our flight for heaven.
Baby doll.
Mother.
( sighs ) Mother.
Oh, spotless woman in a shameless world.
( whispers ) mongrel.
We are all for protecting family, And I've seen up close how strong The women of utah are.
I challenge my opponent, bill henrickson, Not to stay silent.
He must denounce his wife's characterization of utah women As weak-minded drug addicts.
If you ask me, women are utah's best natural resource.
Leslie: Mr.
Henrickson, we don't need lectures on utah values.
We live them.
Stop throwing your money away on silly jingles And speak to the real issues.
Cindy: They start running tonight.
She sent advanced copies to eagle forum and who knows who else.
I thought you should see.
Oh.
- You brought it on yourself, barbie.
You shouldn't go running around making sweeping judgments about people, Running around like mommy with your half-baked liberal views.
Bill: She was implying I'm trying to buy the office.
I'm the little guy.
We're being outspent 2:1.
We need more ads...
Oh good lord.
...Featuring both of us.
Fine.
I'll retract.
I'll-- I'll retreat, apologize.
You write out whatever you want me to say And I'll say it...
'cause I certainly have no voice of my own.
( classic rock music playing ) ( crying ) * you keep saying you've got something for me * * something you call love, but confess...
* ( pounding ) albert!
* you've been messing where you shouldn't have been messing * * and now someone else is getting all your best * * these boots are made for walking...
* Please.
N't turn me away.
* one of these days these boots are gonna * * walk all over you...
* forgive me.
( panting ) For what?
* yes...
* ( softly ) your sister's here.
* you keep lying * * when you ought to be truthing...
* I hope you like them.
The clerk said they were very...
Fashionable.
Thank you.
I want you to leave this place, alby.
Come away with me and make a new life.
I think it's too late for me.
No, it's not too late.
Look at me.
I mean, it's hard, alby, But I'm starting a whole new life for myself.
I just don't think I can.
I love you, alby.
We weren't allowed to say that.
We weren't allowed to love in that house.
We were punished if we did.
Don't listen to her poison!
There's nothing for you in that world.
Surely you know that now.
Don't talk to me about love.
You started to change.
It only opens you up to hurt.
( laughs ) There is hope for us.
No, I don't think so.
You have lost your way.
I finally found myself.
No, look at yourself.
Look how you're dressed.
Don't do this.
You want to dress me up in these?
Get rid of the whiny bitch.
You're a disgrace.
So desperate for love.
Groveling like a common, indecent whore!
( alby crying ) I'm sure you understand we see quite a few hopeful immigrants marry An american citizen right before their scheduled deportation.
Goran: I myself have had friends Do this kind of thing in not a sincere way.
Goran and I are deeply in love.
We've been dating for over a year and-- Oh!
I brought photos.
Our last christmas together.
See?
You can't fake that sort of feeling.
Actually, you can.
Why did you decide to get married at this last possible moment?
Sometimes it takes having your happiness Threatened by separation To make you realize what's really important.
What's your angle on this?
We're in love.
There's fines and penalties for attempting a fraudulent marriage-- And deportation and five years in the penitentiary.
This is not fraudulent marriage.
Barb: I saw you're back.
Here's another square.
You changed out of your other dress?
Mm-hmm.
- Do you need any help assembling?
No thanks.
Nicki, are you oy?
Talk to me.
Um, it's just a lot is hitting me.
There's so many painful feelings involved.
Of course there are.
You have to open up about this.
I respect your need for privacy, But I wish you would talk to me Instead of keeping it all bottled up inside.
( sighs ) I remember the first quilt I ever made-- It was all different birds.
I gave it to my father And he always kept it on the end of his bed.
Nicki, I'm so sorry.
I just-- I-- I can't believe joey would be...
Capable of taking a life.
Didn't bill tell you?
Tell me what, barb?
( emphatically ) tell me what?
Joey!
Wanda, where is he?
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me it's not so.
Wanda?
Wanda, say something.
Why aren't you talking?
What's wrong?
What happened to you?!
( door opens, closes ) J.J., what are you doing here?
( panting ) I'm here to see wanda.
I've been keeping an eye on her since joey's been in mexico.
She's not talking.
What's the matter with her?
I don't know.
We're all worried.
She hasn't been right the past few days.
It's because of joey.
He murdered my father.
Isn't that it, wanda?
( breathes shakily ) Look.
I'm sorry.
You knew?
Wanda told me.
I'm glad this truth is finally coming out.
Joey made her do terrible things.
We have to get her out of here.
( baby crying ) we can't leave her here!
I agree.
I'll take her with me to my house.
No.
She's coming with me.
She needs to be with her family.
The walkers take care of each other.
No, I want her away from here!
Away from joey and this horrible place!
Come on!
Are you happy now?
That's you, swilling a bottle of benadryl.
This is what's being handed out on the street.
Well, it's trash.
Honey, you've become a lightning rod.
Keeping you out of the casino matters In what's become an uncomfortably tight race.
Huh.
We open this place And then you turned it over to me so you could run for office.
You just shuffle me here, there.
I'm just a moving part, but I've kept it going on my own.
I've been in over my head, But I did it for us.
I know how hard you've worked.
Do you really, bill?
( door opens ) What are you doing here?
Trying to win against the house.
I'd like to speak with you alone, bill.
Well, I'm not leaving.
And I'll have security throw you out.
All right.
I'd prefer not to do this in front of you, barb...
But bill's having an affair.
What?
Right under your nose.
I saw him kissing margene heffman right here In this office.
Please.
That was just a friendly peck.
That doesn't prove a thing.
Okay, first, Miss heffman is selling jewelry at your convention, Which I found puzzling.
And then we come up here and you pretend you just met her Except it turns out you've been funding her business for months already.
Which is it, bill?
Oh, and that kiss I saw was no investor peck.
I know the difference.
Now you listen to me.
I am not having an affair.
You must be so desperate to try and spin something out of nothing.
I've got more than enough To float this out publicly and you know it.
And if your tryst with the bauble princess gets out-- Well, need I say more?
I'm sorry, barb.
You can certainly talk a blue streak When it comes to faith and family, can't you, bill?
What a hypocrite.
I've been waiting for you.
Bill: And I need to talk to you.
I've thought about the situation with goran And I've decided that we're gonna let it stand for now.
You changed your mind?
But you can't do that!
Well, you know bill.
He's like the wind-- Always changing.
No, bi, I thought about Everything that you said and you're 100% right.
I was acting out of self-interest mostly.
Oh.
You're not the only one.
You're not helping.
I'm not trying to.
Barb, how can you be for this?
As a matter of fact, I'm not.
I don't like it one bit either, But it just has to be.
Marilyn's alleging an affair.
But that's ridiculous.
Barb: Well, actually, You two did have an affair-- She just doesn't realize it happened years ago.
Barb, I said knock it off.
- Marilyn is not going to use this against us.
She knows if s does, we'll just come after her.
It's a stalemate.
You can't possibly leave our fate To a guess which way a wounded rhino is going to stampede.
Marge's marriage to goran Hardly precludes her ability to still have had an affair.
Barb, this is triage.
It's a leaky boat-- I get it- but we are taking fire from all sides.
This is a temporary fix.
Listen to me!
I don't want to be with goran.
I just can't.
No way.
- Bill: We need to hold on until the election.
We need to fight back on all fronts.
We have to be the ones who go public with our story.
The arrangement with goran will stand.
The henricksons come together in a crisis.
I need my family to start acting like a family.
And why are you so suddenly off staying married to goran?
You've seen him, barb.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes.
You knew that joey killed my father?!
How could you not tell me?
Nicki, I'm sorry.
I finally gave you my heart.
You betrayed me.
( switches click ) * I hear the cottonwoods * * whispering above * * "tammy, tammy * * tammy's in love..."

* ( door bangs ) J.J.: What are you doing?
I-I-I-- I was just...
Spit it out.
...Cleaning.
Let me help you up, my darling.
Roman called you back to censure you.
That's why he was trying to get cara lynn away from you!
I am truly sorry for this.
What have you done to me?
I thght I was just making your dreams come true.
( muffled screaming ) Bill: Nicki.
Sweetheart, listen to me.
The last thing I was trying to do was hurt your feelings.
Look.
I handled it badly.
I'm sorry.
But, nick, you and I need to be good or I can't do this.
It's just everything's changing.
Sarah's leaving.
Marge married.
It's hard to share margene with goran, isn't it?
I'm not sharing.
And yes, it is.
I know what you mean.
I don't want another wife either.
No one said anything about another wife.
Okay.
The thought of another wife never bothered you before.
That was before.
Before what?
Just before.
Before everything got so confusing.
Before I loved you.
Nicki.
I was told I could never have a man all to myself, That it was selfish to even want that, So I've gone without love.
I don't want to share you anymore.

I just want everything to be normal.
( whispering ) but wait- you were held in an ostrich pen?
Yeah, it was so intense, sarah.
( whispering ) then uncle joey confessed he killed roman.
What?!
- Shh!
Dad hasn't had the chance to tell nicki.
If it's about margene, I know.
What?
She got married.
( sighs ) to ana's fiance.
And mom tried to stop her.
But dad doesn't know yet.
Teenie: Sorry, ben.
* build with bill, build with bill * * building with bill will get you more...
* Dinner!
- All hands better be washed.
Wayne, turn off your dad's song.
( music stops ) ( baby fussing ) I like your new jingle, dad.
Well thanks, ben.
You know, it is catchy.
Very catchy.
You're very creative, bill.
Teenie: I've been clipping articles, Helping daddy prepare for his debate tomorrow.
Ben: Dad, why can't we come watch?
Bill: Because that's what mrs.
Usher and I decided.
( door closes ) ( chuckles ) oh, my.
You look great, mom.
Nicki?
Nicki-- wow. "
nicki wow" what?
No.
No, just "wow."
What, barb?
Don't you want to put your 2¢ in?
No.
I'm good.
Why can't I dress like you two if I want to?
It-- it's just a change.
You weren't dressed...
Like that this morning.
I went shopping this afternoon.
Sarah, how did you and scott like portland?
I don't see what the big deal is!
Don't I have the right to be normal?
Portland?
Fantastic.
We had a great time.
In fact, so great That we've decided to move there.
( silverware clatters ) We didn't plan it.
We were just walking around.
We saw an apartment, fell in love with it And put a deposit down before we left.
Barb: But, sarah honey, Do either of you have a job set up?
Actually, it wasn't a belated honeymoon.
We went because scott had a job interview.
What kind of job?
What about you?
What about my birthday?
We're not gonna leave before your birthday party.
I promise you.
When exactly are you planning on leaving?
Soon.
Before the election?
Because of the apartment and scott might have a job.
But he doesn't have it yet.
Pass the potatoes, please.
We always knew this day would come.
This is more than that and you know it.
You know as well as I do that she could've given us a heads up, But she's been sitting on it.
Barb: Well, I didn't tell you everything either About what's going on with the casino.
What, more bomb scares?
Kind of.
Just tell me.
The bomb scares, protests and leaflets-- Marilyn densham is behind it all.
What are you saying?
She's in bed with the evangelicals, Families for a responsible america and ron reed.
She hired his ornization to attack us.
She hirehim?
You can prove this?
Yes, pretty much.
She creates the problem, then gets herself hired As the solution.
She hosted a junket with ron reed For congressman paley in scotland.
How do you know paley's involved?
I don't for sure, but I know He was with them for five days in scotland.
This is unbelievable.
A giant scam to deceive us.
Yes, and it worked.
I hired her, bill.
Barb.
I'm sorry.
I fell for it.
The evangelica were mobilizing against us I thought we needed her.
We're in the home stretch Of the campaign and you dump this in my lap?
We're barely up by five points.
A woman whose phone calls get returned by the white house And the poster boy of the evangelical right Now have their hands around our safety net-- the casino?
Yes.
You're fired.
What?
Oh, you're done at the casino.
You completely screwed up.
Wait, bill.
I made a mistake.
Excuse me.
You defied me.
Great.
And I still have to go tell nicki That my brother killed her father.
( water running ) Nicki, are you in there, hon?
Nicki: I'll be out in a sec.
Honey, I've got something important to talk about.
( water stops ) I'm not going to stop changing Just because people can't deal with it.
I'm going forwards, not backwards.
Remember this?
Of course I do.
What did you want to do to me in it?
Lots.
Don't you like it?
Sweetheart, I love it.
But...
Maybe this isn't the ght time.
We need to have a talk.
Come on, have a seat.
Nick, I understand.
I do.
You're sorting through a lot.
I had my own separationstruggle.
I just want to be the woman you want me to be.
That's all.
You already are.
No.
No, you don't understand.
I'm having difficulty, bill, Conceiving.
I didn't know how to tell you...
Honey?
-...But I'm trying really really hard And I'm praying to conceive.
Do you believe me?
Yes, of course I do.
I'm seeing a new specialist.
He's supposed to be the best.
He's been very encouraging.
I have faith in him.
Hey, whatever it is, we'll get through it.
It's all right.
It's gonna be all right.
( women chatting ) ( clapping ) I want to thank you all for coming out.
I'm here, obviously, on bill's behalf.
You know, there's something unique about utah women-- We never stop serving our faith, Our husbands, our children And our communities.
We do it all, don't we?
And we expect ourselves to do it perfectly.
We're not always comfortable With admitting that we're overwhelmed.
But maybe it's okay To not feel like we have to be perfect all the time.
It's all right to make a mistake once in a while.
And maybe we'd be better off admitting We are not superwoman Instead of running to our medicine cabinets For our sedatives and our antidepressants.
( whispers ) barbie.
Well, we all know what I'm talking about.
We turn to our prozac, Our xanax and our benadryl.
( laughs ) we've all been there, right?
( whispering ) I spoke to brother caleb about it.
- Okay, good.
Nicki: How many more rounds of shots before I can conceive?
A bit of patience wouldn't hurt.
I know.
It's just so hard to hold onto the hope When you want it so badly.
The first shots were to mimic a surge in luteinizing hormone To cause a maturing of the eggs and their release in the ovaries.
This is progesterone.
It's gonna prepare the lining of your uterus to receive the embryo.
Oh.
( chuckles ) ( door opens ) That horrible troll toby needs to be punished.
It's all right, darling.
No, it's not all right, j.J.
He's running around besmirching you, Claiming that roman was tryg to reprimand you.
It's not true, dear.
I know it's not true.
I would've known if it was true, Because I knew everything.
And why would he have wanted to censure you, anyway?
Just drop it.
( gasps ) Hello, nicolette.
Hi, mama.
What are you doing here?
I was just dropping my wife off for her checkup.
So how are your treatments going?
What was your diagnosis?
Ll, we found out that I have high blood pressure.
Put her on lipitor.
I can manage her prescriptions myself.
Please calm down.
Please don't overreact.
Why not?
- I think when you've had a chance To think it all through and see that this was You'll understand that what I did was drastic, yesry, But effective.
It's preposterous!
I know it's not ideal.
I come back from mexico To find out my wife's married some igor?
I did it for our family.
You keep saying that, But iteems to me this lunatic idea to nab a new husband Was made by someone desperate not to be identified as a polygamist So she could save her business reputation.
That's not true!
Just stop!
What is the big deal?!
Everyone is running around hysteric, it's the d of the world.
Can someone tell me what I'm missing?
It is not real.
It's a paper marriage.
It is not real.
Margie, don't you get it?
You've gone and legally married another man.
That's real.
- But for you to say that a marriage certificate Means that I'm more married to goran than to you Is to say that you're more married to barb than to me.
No, don't even try to go there.
I'm not gonna let this be a big deal.
I love you.
I am married to you and only to you.
Ah.
This is just temporary.
You bet it is.
You're either part of this campaign, this family, Or you're not.
We're done talking.
I've got to go clean up barb's mess now.
( slot machines chiming ) ( people chattering ) ( coins clinking ) What are you doing here?
Well, I thought about it And I'm going to the meeting.
No, you're not, barb.
Oh, I am not gonna let you fire me for one mistake.
And even if you did fire me, I happen to be on the board of directors, So I have the authority to rehire me.
Both: Sorry we're late.
Good, you made it.
Have a seat.
( cell phone rings ) I wanted you all here in the same room so we could Settle our differences.
I'm sorry, but I've got to step out-- A little problem with the cashier.
( chuckles ) quite the revolving door around here.
( door closes ) bill: Sorry about that.
For those of you who don't know, this is mr.
Ron reed, President of the f.R.A., Families for a responsible america.
This is marilyn densham, our lobbyist.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
Miss densham, nice to meet you.
I'd like to think I can lead us in a productive mediation.
Shall we begin?
Sure.
Now that we're all here, why don't we drop the pretense?
I'm sorry?
- You know each other.
You're in cahoots.
You're both running a dog and pony show Trying to shake us down.
( marilyn laughs ) Barb, what on earth is he talking about?
You're not dealing with her.
You're dealing with me now.
Not as long as you're ranting around like a caveman.
Jerry, this is your tribe.
We agreed we're going to sort this out calmly, Solve our problems without escalating-- Solve?
Solve what?
I don't know what he's talking about.
Do you or do you not deny knowing each other?
We may have attended some of the same events.
I don't know.
- Like your junket last week to scotland?
What of it?
I like bagpipes.
What about you?
You like bagpipes too?
I'm not sure what you think-- Let me tell you what I think.
I think you get him to create problems at our casino Then extort us to hire you to fix them.
Oh, really?
Is that what I do?
And I think you filled congressman paley's coffers So he'll support legislation that this guy's band of fanatics lobby for.
You're running for office and I could knock you down like a bowling pin.
Bill: You think so?
Well, try this on for size.
You've both been caught red-handed.
You're about to become more toxic than a nuclear dump.
Oh, come on.
You're out of your mind.
Well, yes, maybe I am, Unless you want to stand trial for planting a bomb.
I did not plant any bomb!
And if you repeat that...
I will sue you to kingdom come.
No state senate wannabe And some madeup little tribe are gonna frame me.
You're fired.
No, I quit.
Fine, but let's be clear.
If there is a single protester out front tomorrow, So much as a leaflet in any car window, I will expose you and end your public careers.
Now get out of my sight.
Katie, get my laptop and all my papers And let's t the hell out of this fucking pup tent.
That was a little close for comfort.
We got it back into her office just in time.
It'll take us a day or so to see if we get anything.
Man: Mr.
Grant, the attorney general's office Is determined to get to the bottom of the events Surrounding the death of mr.
Tomasson.
Now his body was found in an apartment On west sycamore drive.
Do you have any knowledge of that apartment?
No, sir.
I do not.
Well, the apartment was rented with u.E.B.
Funds.
As you know, our access to our funds was frozen By the appointment of the trustee.
Man: Except for your operations account.
I know nothing about the rental of any apartment.
Man: The only other person with access to those funds Was the trustee himself.
Just so.
Are you implying That mr.
Tomasson rented the apartment himself?
I am saying that I didn't.
Why would he have embezzled moneys for an apartment?
I-- I don't know.
Mr.
Grant, why does your demeanor suggest that you do?
* he's a family man right to his core.
* Man on radio: And that's the latest salv In the surprisingly tight district 8 senate race That's become a major spending war Between councilwoman leslie newton usher And businessman bill henrickson.
The second of their three debates is tomorrow And ksl will be-- ( door closes ) hey, pam, Is something wrong with the sign?
I have another one in the house.
Some of us struggle mightily With our needs for prescribed medications, And I don't appreciate ignorant comments that belittle us.
( door closes ) Hi.
Where's mom?
She's still at work.
It's for teenie's birthday.
I've gotta hide it in the pantry.
Why are you leaving, really?
Because scott got a great job.
I told you that.
It's not about a job.
You're bailing on the vision of this family.
You're running away.
Okay, maybe I am, Because you're running for office And I don't want to be a part of what happens next.
I don't want to be on that train.
Fine.
I just wanted to be clear on that.
Cheer up.
Last week's cash reports look good.
Barb: Tommy, I just want to apologize to you For this whole mess with marilyn.
It's not just your fault.
My father and I voted for her too.
Yes, but you acted out of good intentions.
I'm not sure I did.
I was angry at my husband And I lashed out by hiring her.
And I'm ashamed Of what's ppened because of it.
Barb...
You've done a really good job here.
Don't beat yourself up.
But if I put the casino, the reservation at risk Because of my wounded pride...
Thank you.
This marriage has to be annulled.
Well, I am sorry it happened while you were far away, But we had to act fast because of goran's immigration problems.
Bill: Of course, I wish I had been told beforehand, Just as I wish I had been told you had a fiance When you asked me for money.
For child support, which you offered.
You wanted a baby.
I thought this would make you happy.
Our baby is a separate matter.
We were going to be deported.
Just try and see things from my point of view.
Once I'm elected, I'll have a certain influence.
I can probably make goran's immigration problems go away.
Doggone it!
Margene is my wife.
I can't share her with you and goran.
Why not?
Because it's unnatural.
That's why.
( laughs ) A man has to know his woman is his.
It's just the way it is.
Are you aware of what you're saying?
Of course I am.
A woman cannot have two husbands.
That's just wrong.
How can you say that?
I'm not a hypocrite.
I explained our religion to you.
I told you all about it.
I think you're crazy.
You're crazy.
Honey, we asked u to join us at our wives meeting Now that you yourself are a wife.
We thought it might be fun for you to see how we do things.
Okay.
- We go over tasks, responsibilities And pressing family matters.
What are we discussing today?
We thought we would discuss you.
And scott.
And portland.
This is not a meeting And I'm not going through this again.
- Sit!
We are worried is all.
You just got married.
Suddenly you're moving away, No talk of college.
- You're going to be all alone without family.
I'll be with scott.
You have been through so many emotional rough patches.
Running over that indian then taking her baby.
That's not exactly how it happened, nicki.
Honey, what do you really know about this portland place?
I mean, I looked it up.
There's heroin everywhere.
Look.
I love you And it is really scary moving to portland.
I don't have any friends.
I don't know anybody.
I don't have a job.
But that is what I'm gonna do, Because I have to.
And I thought That you'd all understand, Because none of you want to go public either.
Come on, mom.
You've been resenting Dad's campaign more and more every single day.
You married goran just to avoid exposure.
And you-- You're onboard, And I don't even know what's going on with you.
I'm onboard because I love bill!
Oh.
It's true.
I love bill.
Bill: One further point on the issue of bike lanes: I think that every company that makes bikes Should produce a video that will instruct the cyclists As to exactly what the rules of the road are.
Woman: Thank you, mr.
Henrickson.
Moving on.
Lately, many people feel That it's become open season on family values.
Explain how family will influence your tenure if elected.
Mr.
Henrickson.
There's nothing more important than family.
It, along with faith, Is the foundation for every choice I make.
Fringe groups can attack us all they want, But in the end we're not easily fooled.
Leslie: You know, bill, it's one thing When the attacks come from the outside, But at a recenteagle fot Your wife barbara characterized utah women As so many weak-minded drug addicts.
Now I don't want to make this personal, But I couldn't disagree more.
My wife would never say such a thing.
I'm sure that it was something that was taken out of context.
No, unfortunately, she did say it.
Now maybe it's because she doesn't spend that much time in utah.
I mean, I believe that she works out of state, Running the indian gambling palace that you own?
Now hold on, that gaming center provides Jobs and opportunities where neither existed.
Yes, but our mothers, our sisters, Our daughters, our women are The true treasures of this great state.
We devote our lives to the creation of strong families.
Careful.
- Tell me exactly what you said About utah women being drug addicts.
I never called anyone an addict.
You said something at eagle forum.
- Well, I-- I don't remember exactly what I said.
Try.
I made an off-the-cuff comment About utah women overusing prescription medications.
Mm-hmm.
It's a proven fact.
You can't say that.
You've got to retract it.
Leslie newton usher's making a big stink about it.
Good.
It ought to be addressed.
We are asked to be perfect, And it is an impossible standard to meet.
No wonder we dip into the medicine chest.
There are many things that are true, barbara, That we don't go saying in public for a variety of reasons.
I know you feel guilty about hiring marilyn, But please don't dig your heels in over this.
I made a statement and I stand by it, And I don't need a lecture about my motives.
Fine.
I've arranged An interview for us tomorrow at k.C.T.W.
We'll address it there.
Oh, I don't think This is a good time for an interview, bill.
I need to start playing offense in this campaign.
I want the whole family there.
Oh, the whole family?
Sarah?
Sarah made her choice.
Mm-hmm, and you've been freezing her out because of it.
You and this campaign drove her away.
( water sloshes ) I can't-- I can't wait for this to be over and done.
( knocks ) hello.
Hello, marilyn.
What are you doing at v.S.N.?
Well, I was in the neighborhood And I remembered you worked here.
So this is shopping tv.
This is it.
Just this.
So you were in the neighborhood?
Honestly, congressman paley sent me To extend his regards to you.
He had such a wonderful time at the casino.
( whispers ) I think he's looking for a second date.
I didn't want to give him your number without asking first...
Unless you're attached, of course.
Yes, I am, actually.
Oh, that's right-- bill henrickson.
I saw you two up at the casino this morning.
No, not bill.
You misunderstood.
Bill is an investor in my business.
That's all.
Didn't you two just meet at the convention?
That was before...
Then, I mean.
Oh.
Well, how lucky for you.
Well, I will let paley know that you are not available.
Lovely to see you, margene.
( door closes ) Come on, teenie.
Get the lead out, please.
At the rate you're going, I'm never gonna be packed.
I don't want you to leave me here.
I know it's hard, but you'll be fine.
I don't want to be a public polygamist either.
Teenie!
Guys!
I went to l.D.S.
Camp to fit in And I did.
And finally I'm popular.
And I'm not giving that up.
Dad is doing what's best for us.
Ben, after everything that has happened to you, When are you gonna stop defending him?
When are you gonna see dad for what he is?
I have.
He saved me in mexico.
I saw him willing to die for me and he would do the same thing for you.
You're the one who needs to stop looking at him like you did when you were 13.
Come on, teenie, we've got to get home.
Sarah, the campaign and the u.
E.B.
Trusteeship Have dad so stressed out.
And he's too proud To ask you to be there with us at that interview, But I'm not.
He needs you.
Good to have you back, bill.
Good to see you, roger.
Winston, I know the investigation Into dale's death has hard on everyone.
I appreciate your staying on with me.
You're the point person for the kansas ranch.
How's the audit going?
It's tough.
The books and records have all been subpoenaed, But there's constant stonewalling.
Well, that figures.
They've been stonewalling forever.
But now that I'm in charge, it's going to stop.
I want you to go there in person.
Can you free up the next few days?
Sure, I'd love to knock some heads together.
Good.
I've arranged a contact for you At the sedgwick county sheriff department To get you on and off the ranch.
And I need you to get the scuttlebutt on what they've got-- New investigations, possible indictments, Seal or unsealed, hearsay or rumor-- I don't care.
Something's up.
I'm in the middle of a campaign and I don't want any surprises.
Okay, keep in touch.
Okay.
To our strong, growing family.
To the generations past And the absent ones yet to return.
To our future.
To this glorious pregnancy And this stalwart vessel Who makes it all possible.
Father.
- He that died for us upon the cross In his last hour Was mindful of his mother, As if to teach us that this holy love Should be our last earthly thought From which we should take our flight for heaven.
Baby doll.
Mother.
( sighs ) Mother.
Oh, spotless woman in a shameless world.
( whispers ) mongrel.
We are all for protecting family, And I've seen up close how strong The women of utah are.
I challenge my opponent, bill henrickson, Not to stay silent.
He must denounce his wife's characterization of utah women As weak-minded drug addicts.
If you ask me, women are utah's best natural resource.
Leslie: Mr.
Henrickson, we don't need lectures on utah values.
We live them.
Stop throwing your money away on silly jingles And speak to the real issues.
Cindy: They start running tonight.
She sent advanced copies to eagle forum and who knows who else.
I thought you should see.
Oh.
- You brought it on yourself, barbie.
You shouldn't go running around making sweeping judgments about people, Running around like mommy with your half-baked liberal views.
Bill: She was implying I'm trying to buy the office.
I'm the little guy.
We're being outspent 2:1.
We need more ads...
Oh good lord.
...Featuring both of us.
Fine.
I'll retract.
I'll-- I'll retreat, apologize.
You write out whatever you want me to say And I'll say it...
'cause I certainly have no voice of my own.
( classic rock music playing ) ( crying ) * you keep saying you've got something for me * * something you call love, but confess...
* ( pounding ) albert!
* you've been messing where you shouldn't have been messing * * and now someone else is getting all your best * * these boots are made for walking...
* Please.
N't turn me away.
* one of these days these boots are gonna * * walk all over you...
* forgive me.
( panting ) For what?
* yes...
* ( softly ) your sister's here.
* you keep lying * * when you ought to be truthing...
* I hope you like them.
The clerk said they were very...
Fashionable.
Thank you.
I want you to leave this place, alby.
Come away with me and make a new life.
I think it's too late for me.
No, it's not too late.
Look at me.
I mean, it's hard, alby, But I'm starting a whole new life for myself.
I just don't think I can.
I love you, alby.
We weren't allowed to say that.
We weren't allowed to love in that house.
We were punished if we did.
Don't listen to her poison!
There's nothing for you in that world.
Surely you know that now.
Don't talk to me about love.
You started to change.
It only opens you up to hurt.
( laughs ) There is hope for us.
No, I don't think so.
You have lost your way.
I finally found myself.
No, look at yourself.
Look how you're dressed.
Don't do this.
You want to dress me up in these?
Get rid of the whiny bitch.
You're a disgrace.
So desperate for love.
Groveling like a common, indecent whore!
( alby crying ) I'm sure you understand we see quite a few hopeful immigrants marry An american citizen right before their scheduled deportation.
Goran: I myself have had friends Do this kind of thing in not a sincere way.
Goran and I are deeply in love.
We've been dating for over a year and-- Oh!
I brought photos.
Our last christmas together.
See?
You can't fake that sort of feeling.
Actually, you can.
Why did you decide to get married at this last possible moment?
Sometimes it takes having your happiness Threatened by separation To make you realize what's really important.
What's your angle on this?
We're in love.
There's fines and penalties for attempting a fraudulent marriage-- And deportation and five years in the penitentiary.
This is not fraudulent marriage.
Barb: I saw you're back.
Here's another square.
You changed out of your other dress?
Mm-hmm.
- Do you need any help assembling?
No thanks.
Nicki, are you oy?
Talk to me.
Um, it's just a lot is hitting me.
There's so many painful feelings involved.
Of course there are.
You have to open up about this.
I respect your need for privacy, But I wish you would talk to me Instead of keeping it all bottled up inside.
( sighs ) I remember the first quilt I ever made-- It was all different birds.
I gave it to my father And he always kept it on the end of his bed.
Nicki, I'm so sorry.
I just-- I-- I can't believe joey would be...
Capable of taking a life.
Didn't bill tell you?
Tell me what, barb?
( emphatically ) tell me what?
Joey!
Wanda, where is he?
Tell me it's not true.
Tell me it's not so.
Wanda?
Wanda, say something.
Why aren't you talking?
What's wrong?
What happened to you?!
( door opens, closes ) J.J., what are you doing here?
( panting ) I'm here to see wanda.
I've been keeping an eye on her since joey's been in mexico.
She's not talking.
What's the matter with her?
I don't know.
We're all worried.
She hasn't been right the past few days.
It's because of joey.
He murdered my father.
Isn't that it, wanda?
( breathes shakily ) Look.
I'm sorry.
You knew?
Wanda told me.
I'm glad this truth is finally coming out.
Joey made her do terrible things.
We have to get her out of here.
( baby crying ) we can't leave her here!
I agree.
I'll take her with me to my house.
No.
She's coming with me.
She needs to be with her family.
The walkers take care of each other.
No, I want her away from here!
Away from joey and this horrible place!
Come on!
Are you happy now?
That's you, swilling a bottle of benadryl.
This is what's being handed out on the street.
Well, it's trash.
Honey, you've become a lightning rod.
Keeping you out of the casino matters In what's become an uncomfortably tight race.
Huh.
We open this place And then you turned it over to me so you could run for office.
You just shuffle me here, there.
I'm just a moving part, but I've kept it going on my own.
I've been in over my head, But I did it for us.
I know how hard you've worked.
Do you really, bill?
( door opens ) What are you doing here?
Trying to win against the house.
I'd like to speak with you alone, bill.
Well, I'm not leaving.
And I'll have security throw you out.
All right.
I'd prefer not to do this in front of you, barb...
But bill's having an affair.
What?
Right under your nose.
I saw him kissing margene heffman right here In this office.
Please.
That was just a friendly peck.
That doesn't prove a thing.
Okay, first, Miss heffman is selling jewelry at your convention, Which I found puzzling.
And then we come up here and you pretend you just met her Except it turns out you've been funding her business for months already.
Which is it, bill?
Oh, and that kiss I saw was no investor peck.
I know the difference.
Now you listen to me.
I am not having an affair.
You must be so desperate to try and spin something out of nothing.
I've got more than enough To float this out publicly and you know it.
And if your tryst with the bauble princess gets out-- Well, need I say more?
I'm sorry, barb.
You can certainly talk a blue streak When it comes to faith and family, can't you, bill?
What a hypocrite.
I've been waiting for you.
Bill: And I need to talk to you.
I've thought about the situation with goran And I've decided that we're gonna let it stand for now.
You changed your mind?
But you can't do that!
Well, you know bill.
He's like the wind-- Always changing.
No, bi, I thought about Everything that you said and you're 100% right.
I was acting out of self-interest mostly.
Oh.
You're not the only one.
You're not helping.
I'm not trying to.
Barb, how can you be for this?
As a matter of fact, I'm not.
I don't like it one bit either, But it just has to be.
Marilyn's alleging an affair.
But that's ridiculous.
Barb: Well, actually, You two did have an affair-- She just doesn't realize it happened years ago.
Barb, I said knock it off.
- Marilyn is not going to use this against us.
She knows if s does, we'll just come after her.
It's a stalemate.
You can't possibly leave our fate To a guess which way a wounded rhino is going to stampede.
Marge's marriage to goran Hardly precludes her ability to still have had an affair.
Barb, this is triage.
It's a leaky boat-- I get it- but we are taking fire from all sides.
This is a temporary fix.
Listen to me!
I don't want to be with goran.
I just can't.
No way.
- Bill: We need to hold on until the election.
We need to fight back on all fronts.
We have to be the ones who go public with our story.
The arrangement with goran will stand.
The henricksons come together in a crisis.
I need my family to start acting like a family.
And why are you so suddenly off staying married to goran?
You've seen him, barb.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes.
You knew that joey killed my father?!
How could you not tell me?
Nicki, I'm sorry.
I finally gave you my heart.
You betrayed me.
( switches click ) * I hear the cottonwoods * * whispering above * * "tammy, tammy * * tammy's in love..."
* ( computer beeps ) * the old hooty owl...
* ( keyboard clicking ) * hooty-hoos to the dove * * "tammy, tammy * * tammy's in love" * * does my lover feel what I feel * * when he comes near?
* * my heart beats so joyfully * Oh.
* you'd think * * that he could hear...
* ( door bangs ) J.J.: What are you doing?
I-I-I-- I was just...
Spit it out.
...Cleaning.
Let me help you up, my darling.
Roman called you back to censure you.
That's why he was trying to get cara lynn away from you!
I am truly sorry for this.
What have you done to me?
I thght I was just making your dreams come true.
( muffled screaming ) Bill: Nicki.
Sweetheart, listen to me.
The last thing I was trying to do was hurt your feelings.
Look.
I handled it badly.
I'm sorry.
But, nick, you and I need to be good or I can't do this.
It's just everything's changing.
Sarah's leaving.
Marge married.
It's hard to share margene with goran, isn't it?
I'm not sharing.
And yes, it is.
I know what you mean.
I don't want another wife either.
No one said anything about another wife.
Okay.
The thought of another wife never bothered you before.
That was before.
Before what?
Just before.
Before everything got so confusing.
Before I loved you.
Nicki.
I was told I could never have a man all to myself, That it was selfish to even want that, So I've gone without love.
I don't want to share you anymore.
