Hi, hon, i can't talk right now.
I need to ask you something.
Okay, sweetie, Make it quick then.
You skipped out on my night.
Honey, let's not make a federal Case out of it.
But it was my night that you skipped.
It doesn't mean anything.
It was the second time.
Are you angry with me about something?
No.
You're reading too much into it.
You didn't skip margie's night Or barb's.
I understand, nicki.

Looky here.
Delicious!

ho-ho-ho!
I'm sure there's more somewhere.
oh oh Ho!
Gee.
Guess not.
Wonder where all those peas went, lois?
Kind of ridiculous place To hide money, wouldn't you say?
Appears to me that you've got a bunch Of mighty big spenders down There at that laundromat dump of yours.
Frank, i really must appeal to you As a respected spouse.
I got 22,000 in peas.
You want any of it back, You bring me something worth more.
I don't have any more.
You're a criminal.
We both know you're not smart enough To be the brain Behind this entire operation.
You're gonna tell me Where it came from.
You're gonna get me a piece.
And you are gonna make it snappy.
Last night, Sleeping in the basement Wasn't planned.
But i do need a break.
I'm overwhelmed at work.
Pre-chstmas orders need to be in, Breaking in a new secretary, Employee reviews.
I'm proposing...
That i...
Take each seventh night off, For myself, to rest.
And i want to look each Of you in the eye And let you know That there's nothing behind it .
Everything's fine.
I just need a break And...
Well, i know you all Will support me on this.
Okay?
He just wants a night off.
We get nights off, Why shouldn't he?
You don't get it, margene.
All the demands That barb places on bill?
Everything has to be so perfect.
Classic first-wife control freak.
What?
I mean, what do you think This is really about?
She's gotten out of hand.
We'll only ever get two nights a week.
I just wish i knew what was behind.
Did either of you notice anything...
Off with him?
I mean, Before all this?
What do you mean?
Just...
Anything...
marital, or...?
oh.
No.
When he works hard, You know, he's...
Hmm.
Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, Friday, saturday, seventh night off.
Excuse me.
Barb, i no longer want Any nights after margene.
And that's final.
She's the reason.
She exhausts him...
With all of her demands.
He's never needed time off For christmas orders before.
I don't buy it.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
You fight the good fight, barb.
I've been so bad About keeping in contact with the folks from the old ward.
hmm.
are you still?
still bishop.
There was talk of stake president, But honestly, eh.
I'm Just an overgrown deacon.
So, sandy.
Bill's business is growing, so...
Sister henrickson, your son ben Came to me twice in the last month.
We were supposed To meet again on sunday, But he never showed up.
I'm sorry, i didn't know.
It's okay.
I don't mind.
Uh, he's looking for some help With some things He said were hard To talk about here at home.
What was it?
It's not my place to say, But you and bill need To ask him about it As soon as possible.
Barb, i looked up your records To find where you live now.
They indicated you're inactive.
I can't tell you how much That surprised me.
We, um...
We get so busy And the church here just...
just didn't suit us.
barb?
I'm thinking we should Give nicki tuesday night.
She needs it.
hello.
this is bishop devery From our old ward.
This is my neighbor margie.
I live right next door.
A pleasure to meet you, margie.
Barb, i'll be back at my house.
Um, i'll talk to ben.
Bill and i will talk to ben.
I should get back to dinner now.
Is your family okay, barb?
Mm-hm.
It's fine.
We all have our challenges.
Barb, if bill is unable To righteously lead his son And this family, I want you to know you're Welcome to return to my ward.
Frank found my peas And cleaned me out.
Okay, what did you tell him?
He won't give 'em back Till we give him a cut.
of what?
some of our stash.
What do you--?
There's no "our stash."
No, there's your stash, There's my stash, but...
Did you tell him that there Was an "our stash"?
Not yet, but we're partners, eddie.
So you just give him a cut of yours.
I gave all of mine to bill!
I mean, this is not A bottomless well, lois.
Well, what did you give it To bill for?
It's a business investment.
One, may i remind you, That i gave you a chance To get in on.
Here comes chiquita banana And her cast of thousands.
Well!
Welcome to lois's.
What kind of business?
I told you gambling machines.
Look, i will take care of you, lois.
Uh...
That machine's busted, senorita.
Use the one at the end.
Look, you tell bill you need your money back.
i don't want it back.
This is the first opportunity.
I've had in years.
Why do you want to screw This up for me?
I've got seven New machines coming, c.
O.
D., And i need to pay rent a.
S.
A.
P.
Now i'll give you a piece of this.
No way.
No, you won't blow this for me.
I'm sorry that frank took your stash.
Okay?
That's between you and frank.
And you married beneath you!
You married trash.
And we've been paying For it ever since.
You have something You want to tell us?
No Something you wanted To tell bishop devery?
I don't know what you're talking about.
don't lie to me.
i'm not lying.
ben, he was here.
well, he's an idiot!
There's nothing.
What?
You sent him into our homes With no warning.
you owe us an explanation.
he doesn't know anything About who we really are.
I'm sorry, i won't go anymore!
Let me talk to him.
alone.
bill-- I know.
I'll get To the bottom of it.
What did you go to him for?
I can wait here all day.
He was just gonna help me.
With what?
I've been doing it for months now.
I try to stop, But i can't.
I'm a deviant.
Sexual.
Mostly.
Well, what are we talking about here?
Like, hands?
What base, ben?
Everything.
All of it.
Do you even know What "all of it" means?
All of it.
i'll get better.
ben.
It's not an unnatural desire, But it's the most unholy thing You can do with your body.
That's your temple, son.
You're gonna stop seeing her.
Can't i tell you my side?
No, ben, there's-- There's nothing to discuss.
I'm sorry.
In the future, You'll come to me to talk About these things.
Not that bishop.
You don't even listen to me.
You don't care About what i think.
Don't you ever say that to me.
You know what, dad?
I liked it.
I liked it And i don't want to stop.
You're grounded, ben.
You go to work, you come home.
No phone, no computer.
Indefinitely.
End of story.
Did you know anything about this?
Which part?
You and i will sit down to talk.
Understood?
I'm always right here, dad.
He can't live without her.
That is pathetic, margie.
If ben did that to a girl Where i come from, He'd be driven out to the 15 And dumped by the side of the road.
Nicki, can i tell you a secret?
If you must.
I lost my virginity at 16 too.
That's hardly a secret, margie.
I just think there's room To relax a little about this.
Margie!
Physical intimacy is for procreation, Not recreation.
And certainly not for idle gossip.
You already have a bun in the oven So i suggest you cool off.
Nicki, are you and bill not...
Uh...
Margie, if bill's too overwhelmed To have anything intimate with me, Then i feel assured That he's too stressed out To have anything meaningful With anyone else.
If that's what you need To tell yourself.
Oh, you don't think you Helped create the situation?
Your neediness is overwhelming.
I'm the most stress-free Of any of us.
Don't think he won't replace us If you two keep pushing.
Your father cleaned me out, bill.
I have sacrificed my whole life, Shared everything.
I just want this one thing.
Is that too much to ask?
How much did he take?
Approximately $30,000.
$30,000?
Off that little laundromat?
In five weeks?
It was a surprisingly Well-situated location.
Did you file a police report?
No!
I can't...
Exactly.
Uh, eddie-- He got us our start-up money And it wasn't entirely On the up and up.
He got $1.2 million From this woman who had cancer. "
got"?
Well, he took it.
as in stole?
more or less.
Mm, he told me she was dead.
I didn't know.
He said we needed to clean it up So we wouldn't have to pay taxes.
Kind of a loophole thing.
You're laundering $1.2 million?
Just to avoid taxes-- Estate taxes!
You said it was stolen.
Yes.
But she was dead.
Though it turns out now, She isn't.
But anyway, Now i'm running the laundromat As a good solid little business, But the 5% that eddie Cut me in on-- Frank took it all!
And i really need it back So i can buy new washers, Or i'll go belly up.
So you need to give eddie His money back.
That's good.
Gambling, bill?
This is eddie.
Leave a message.
Hi, eddie.
Sold western press, huh?
don't you tell him i'm here.
mom's here.
Sounds like you're up To your old tricks-- Robbing old ladies blind?
i won't spend my life Pumping gas with no hope!
You compromised me, eddie!
I just want to be Where the action is!
you compromised me!
will you hang that up?
Call me as soon as you get this.
Why can't you give up This gambling business?
You have plenty of other businesses.
This is to protect my family.
You give up yours.
I will not let the men In my life conspire To take this away from me.
Not this time.
Maybe we should send him back To seminary?
We could look Into don's church.
Huh-uh.
Mmm.
Wait-wait-wait-wait Wait-wait...
shh.
wait wait?
Yeah, okay okay.
Okay, wait.
Bill?
If any other married couple Started asking for a night off-- No, listen listen listen-- It'd mean couples therapy.
Do we have to talk about this now?
Does it mean more time away From the kids too?
Honey?
You get four or five nights A week to catch up.
I just need one right now.
Just for a while.
All right, One night off, but-- whoa.
One night off is one thing, But the fact that you need It scheduled on a consistent basis...
Please don't be this way.
I don't get to hunt or fish anymore.
Well, if you can't juggle everything, Then you should let something else go, not your wives.
well, there's nothing to let go.
You know, i spend all day trying To keep ahead of the eight ball.
You don't have to take over utah.
You don't have To be wal-mart for us.
We don't need it.
Well, somebody's got To bring home the bacon.
and the bacon, and the bacon.
all right, downtime is one thing, A night off is different.
This is what you signed up for.
I want it put on the schedule So it's official, And no one gets hurt Like last night.
so it is about one of us?
no!
I'm not asking for the moon.
Please, just schedule it.
If you don't, i'll pick The night myself.
Fine.
You don't want to share A bed with us...
Ach!
Why are you being Like this?
I'm sleeping on the couch Until you're ready to shoulder The responsibilities You signed up for.
You want some alone time, You can have it.
what are you doing?
i'm gonna sleep with my wife.
Not this one.
Bill.
You have to leave.
It's barb's night.
She wants to talk to you.
She told me.
I know.
That's why i'm here.
That's not right.
Sometimes i just need A minute to catch my breath.
And that's what i am?
Where you go to catch your breath?
To a certain extent.
why do you love me?
oh honey, don't.
Am i the one it's easy To have sex with?
The play toy?
Would ana have been the next one?
You know my feelings for you Go deeper than that.
I know what sex is about, bill, And it's at least a little About newness.
What if i become too familiar?
I'm not gonna be new forever.
Familiar?
Honey.
Honey.
This is not a talking issue.
I hate talking about things too.
I hate it more.
What do u like?
When you please me.
That's naughty, margie.
You're a naughty girl.
Yes, my darling?
I've been having a little bit Of difficulty getting you your money, But i really need my peas.
So i'm willing to offer you...
Something else that you've Been wanting.
And just what might that be?
I'll let you come in The back door.
That?
That was one night 30 years ago!
You're still thinking about that?
Come on, if i want an old caboose, I'll call union pacific!
You're an exciting woman But for 22 thou?
For that old caboose?
Oh-ho!
Oh, of course-- Hoochie-coochie music.
I get it.
That's rich.
Sit.
Sit!
Sit.
I'll give you something of value.
I'll tell you exactly Where that money went.
Our son took it all, every last bit.
mm-hmm.
You should be ashamed Of yourself-- For emasculating Our husband like that.
What are you talking about?
I saw what you did last night.
I saw you push him down there.
Push him down where?
Let's just say you should Close your curtains at night.
There are young children living In these houses.
How dare you?
Trust me, margie, I wish i hadn't seen it.
It wasn't pretty.
I wish i didn't know All the horrible things That you force our husband to do.
Force him?
I have to drag him back up Just to ve me a turn.
Men hate that!
Forcing bill into That depraved behavior?
There's nothing wrong With getting a little oral, I'm sure barb has him Do it too.
Well, why don't we just ask her then?
I will not discuss this with barb.
You are a sex addict.
And you're bringing our Man down with you.
Uh-huh.
And i fully suspect That you knew all about Benny and that blonde whore.
Should we tell barb About that too?
Nicki was staring In my house last night.
Were you doing something You weren't supposed to?
What?
I am not mad...
This time.
But it can't happen again.
If it's my night, It's my night!
he insisted.
you can say no.
Don't bet ont.
Listen, both of you, If i don't want to sleep With him on my night, He sleeps alone.
And until he gives in On this seventh-night business, He gets the cold shoulder-- From all of us.
Why do i have to suffer Because of you two?
Margie, you have free will here.
But if you ever want us To back you up in the future, You'll do this.
It's only fair.
Selma and i have sent you another token of our paternal esteem.
thank you, hollis.
Thank you for the information.
The coal mine was a soft target.
We sent roman's Illegal-alien workers running.
Without them, His unitlabor costs will skyrocket.
Next take a look at His irrigation-pipe company.
He employs 12 13-year-old compound boys Off the books, no salary, To lay the pipe.
Like peanut butter on toast, Roman's spread himself too thin.
Too bureaucratic.
Not nimble, bill.
Hang on a sec, honey.
Your brotherhood means A great deal to me and selma After our years alone In the wilderness.
We're a good fit.
Thanking you for your wise counsel, Respectfully hollis greene.
By the way, What kind of spam filters Do you use to keep Your systems open?
I-- i don't know.
I'll have to get Back to you on that.
Hi, margie.
We're all supposed to give you The cold shoulder until you give in.
Like, cold-cold.
Freezi cold.
Whose idea was that?
Um...
I wouldn't feel right Coming right out and telling you.
Was it barb?
Okay, yes.
And nicki's going along with it, But i think she could be turned.
are you onboard?
i don't want to be.
hey, bill?
yes?
Why don't you please nicki?
What are you talking about?
Why don't you please her?
I believe that's between her And me, don't you think?
I know that she says she Doesn't want it, But she does.
She really does!
Margie, that's more than enough.
Okay, bill.
Remember, I didn't tell you a thing.
I love you!
Benny?
Just because we don't Go to church like we used to, I-- i don't want youto think that I don't still believe That those values are true, That they're so very important.
I know.
I do too.
And...
I want you to know that...
If you need to talk to someone-- I just need you to talk to your father About these things first.
It's important to me.
I don't know if i can.
I'll make sure that he makes The time.
It's not that.
He doesn't think i'm worthy, Not like an oldest son.
Benny...
Benny, you are our pride and joy.
Mom?
I'm still the same person.
I know you are.
I'm not ruined inside.
I promise.
I know, benny.
What the heck are you doing here?
You and i got business to discuss.
You and i have nothing to discuss.
bill, you want me to get somebody?
sit down, fatso.
Shut up!
Don, stay.
Yeah, you stay, don.
Have a seat, don.
So you're up to your Old fun and games With that cocksucker eddie.
I don't know what you're Talking about.

No, siree.
Your loving mother sang Like a canary.
You have built your entire new Gambling business On the back of stolen money From a dead woman!
I repeat...
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's embezzlement, it's illegal And it's a business that can Be crushed like that.
Tied to liens, attachments-- It's criminal.
Now...
Your father Has a deep sense of justice.
Get out.

i wouldn't give you a nickel.
A percentage of your business.
Oh, come on, we can be in business Together, you and me.
We can finally turn that corner.

Beat it, pappy.
I am his father.
The man's a vagrant.
Take him out.
He's not allowed on The premises again.
We're not through here, Sonny-jim.
Not by a long shot.
He's crazy.
He doesn't know what he's saying.
Think he's pieced together our weber gaming Is the same weber gaming roman was after?

Is that okay?
Yeah.
You're a very very good girl.
Yeah.
When i married bill, I thought it was just going To be him and me.
Oh, i loved him so much.
I couldn't imagine having To share that love with anyone else.
When nicki came along, It was the hardest moment Of my entire life.
I cared for her.
She took care of me When i needed it the most, When i was really sick.
But learning to love her Took a long time.
Learning to share my love For bill is something i still Struggle with.
I wouldn't change it For the world now.
But i didn't know It was the marriage i was Getting into.
Polygamy is a hard life.
I think you deserve To know what i didn't.
And if you decide you still Want it, All i can say is you need To really be onboard.
How many wives do you have?
I was thrown out of juniper creek When i was 14 years old.
I'm not ke them.
Roman grant is corrupt.
The greenes are erratic and immoral.
i'm not-- this was in mexico.
Those are their own brothers.
Your amoral little bedmates Are homicidal.
We're working with mexican authorities To bring 'em in.
I had no idea.
what do you need me to do?
you'll tell me when and where You're meeting them And you'll escort me there.
Huh-uh, my client won't Be put in harm's way.
He's already put his neck On the line to bring you This information.
A little respect.
Just because you drive a nice car And live in sandy Doesn't mean you're any different Than any of them in my eyes.
Ma'am, you'rnot from utah, are you?
No, i'm from boston.
And where i come from, You're all the same.
Mormons, l.
D.
S., polygamists-- You can't just wrap it up In god and make it okay.
Never step out of utah, 'Cause my great-grandpa never Had eight wives So i feel no guilt Putting you behind bars.
And what religion Were you raised in?
it's none of your business.
exactly.
You want the greenes, fine.
Get out a piece of paper And start writing.
She can't just go and Do something like this.
she can't say something like That and just make it up.
Stop it, ben.
If you have a shred of an idea That you want number two, You have to tell me.
It's only fair.
no.
I don't.
then why did you say it?
I just wanted them to stop, To leave us alone.
It's okay, ben.
It just came out.
I understand.
It's-- it's the only kind Of family you know.
No.
You'll make some girls Real happy one day, benny.
It's noon-45 o'clock.
The enemy is at the gates.
We may live or we may die.
We gave your grandfather Safe harbor, Protected him and gave him refuge.
We now open the floodgates Of vengeance.
You will all atone for this betrayal.
You can breathe easy.
They chased them into arizona, Crossed the border About 20 minutes ago.
They're as good as behind bars.

They're gonna go away For a good long time.

I hate her.
She just doesn't want you to get hurt.
I'm sorry, dad, But i just can't-- Ben, you're 16.
I think it's time You become a priesthood holder In this family, With all the power And responsibility That come with it.
Really?
I want to let you in on something.
I'm buying a company that...
Will help lay the foundation For a life without lies, Where if you choose To live the principle, You can live your life openly, With your head raised.
Does mom know?
We'll keep it between you And me for now, okay?
I want this life To be better for you Than-- than it's been for me, But i can't-- I can't do it all alone.
I need you to help me get there.
Roman grant?
Upon you, my son, In the name of the messiah, I confer the priesthood of aaron, Which holds the keys Of the ministering of angels And of the gospel of repentance...

M.
I can't wait to be On the other side of this deal.
It's just eating up time i don't have.
Hollis and selma greene Are very fond of corporate gifting.
Hollis and selma greene Are products of a limited gene pool.
They're not so bad, In an enemy of my enemy Is my friend kind of way.
They are all over roman like An army of fire ants.
You aren't still talking to them, Are you?
Well, i got to hang tough till Roman gets rid of them.
Couple more jabs, he won't Be able to resist striking back.
We'll have weber, Greenes will be gone.
We are this close to the promised land.
Hi, hon, i can't talk right now.
I need to ask you something.
Okay, sweetie, Make it quick then.
You skipped out on my night.
Honey, let's not make a federal Case out of it.
But it was my night that you skipped.
It doesn't mean anything.
It was the second time.
Are you angry with me about something?
No.
You're reading too much into it.
You didn't skip margie's night Or barb's.
I understand, nicki.
I'm coming home for lunch, We'll talk then.
But i really got to go.
Give me that can, frank.
I'm hungry, lois.
Give me back my peas.
Aha ha ho!
Looky here.
Delicious!
step away from that pot!
ho-ho-ho!
I'm sure there's more somewhere.
oh oh Ho!
Gee.
Guess not.
Wonder where all those peas went, lois?
Kind of ridiculous place To hide money, wouldn't you say?
Appears to me that you've got a bunch Of mighty big spenders down There at that laundromat dump of yours.
Frank, i really must appeal to you As a respected spouse.
I got 22,000 in peas.
You want any of it back, You bring me something worth more.
I don't have any more.
You're a criminal.
We both know you're not smart enough To be the brain Behind this entire operation.
You're gonna tell me Where it came from.
You're gonna get me a piece.
And you are gonna make it snappy.
Last night, Sleeping in the basement Wasn't planned.
But i do need a break.
I'm overwhelmed at work.
Pre-chstmas orders need to be in, Breaking in a new secretary, Employee reviews.
I'm proposing...
That i...
Take each seventh night off, For myself, to rest.
And i want to look each Of you in the eye And let you know That there's nothing behind it .
Everything's fine.
I just need a break And...
Well, i know you all Will support me on this.
Okay?
He just wants a night off.
We get nights off, Why shouldn't he?
You don't get it, margene.
All the demands That barb places on bill?
Everything has to be so perfect.
Classic first-wife control freak.
What?
I mean, what do you think This is really about?
She's gotten out of hand.
We'll only ever get two nights a week.
I just wish i knew what was behind.
Did either of you notice anything...
Off with him?
I mean, Before all this?
What do you mean?
Just...
Anything...
marital, or...?
oh.
No.
When he works hard, You know, he's...
Hmm.
Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, Friday, saturday, seventh night off.
Excuse me.
Barb, i no longer want Any nights after margene.
And that's final.
She's the reason.
She exhausts him...
With all of her demands.
He's never needed time off For christmas orders before.
I don't buy it.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
You fight the good fight, barb.
I've been so bad About keeping in contact with the folks from the old ward.
hmm.
are you still?
still bishop.
There was talk of stake president, But honestly, eh.
I'm Just an overgrown deacon.
So, sandy.
Bill's business is growing, so...
Sister henrickson, your son ben Came to me twice in the last month.
We were supposed To meet again on sunday, But he never showed up.
I'm sorry, i didn't know.
It's okay.
I don't mind.
Uh, he's looking for some help With some things He said were hard To talk about here at home.
What was it?
It's not my place to say, But you and bill need To ask him about it As soon as possible.
Barb, i looked up your records To find where you live now.
They indicated you're inactive.
I can't tell you how much That surprised me.
We, um...
We get so busy And the church here just...
just didn't suit us.
barb?
I'm thinking we should Give nicki tuesday night.
She needs it.
hello.
this is bishop devery From our old ward.
This is my neighbor margie.
I live right next door.
A pleasure to meet you, margie.
Barb, i'll be back at my house.
Um, i'll talk to ben.
Bill and i will talk to ben.
I should get back to dinner now.
Is your family okay, barb?
Mm-hm.
It's fine.
We all have our challenges.
Barb, if bill is unable To righteously lead his son And this family, I want you to know you're Welcome to return to my ward.
Frank found my peas And cleaned me out.
Okay, what did you tell him?
He won't give 'em back Till we give him a cut.
of what?
some of our stash.
What do you--?
There's no "our stash."
No, there's your stash, There's my stash, but...
Did you tell him that there Was an "our stash"?
Not yet, but we're partners, eddie.
So you just give him a cut of yours.
I gave all of mine to bill!
I mean, this is not A bottomless well, lois.
Well, what did you give it To bill for?
It's a business investment.
One, may i remind you, That i gave you a chance To get in on.
Here comes chiquita banana And her cast of thousands.
Well!
Welcome to lois's.
What kind of business?
I told you gambling machines.
Look, i will take care of you, lois.
Uh...
That machine's busted, senorita.
Use the one at the end.
Look, you tell bill you need your money back.
i don't want it back.
This is the first opportunity.
I've had in years.
Why do you want to screw This up for me?
I've got seven New machines coming, c.
O.
D., And i need to pay rent a.
S.
A.
P.
Now i'll give you a piece of this.
No way.
No, you won't blow this for me.
I'm sorry that frank took your stash.
Okay?
That's between you and frank.
And you married beneath you!
You married trash.
And we've been paying For it ever since.
You have something You want to tell us?
No Something you wanted To tell bishop devery?
I don't know what you're talking about.
don't lie to me.
i'm not lying.
ben, he was here.
well, he's an idiot!
There's nothing.
What?
You sent him into our homes With no warning.
you owe us an explanation.
he doesn't know anything About who we really are.
I'm sorry, i won't go anymore!
Let me talk to him.
alone.
bill-- I know.
I'll get To the bottom of it.
What did you go to him for?
I can wait here all day.
He was just gonna help me.
With what?
I've been doing it for months now.
I try to stop, But i can't.
I'm a deviant.
Sexual.
Mostly.
Well, what are we talking about here?
Like, hands?
What base, ben?
Everything.
All of it.
Do you even know What "all of it" means?
All of it.
i'll get better.
ben.
It's not an unnatural desire, But it's the most unholy thing You can do with your body.
That's your temple, son.
You're gonna stop seeing her.
Can't i tell you my side?
No, ben, there's-- There's nothing to discuss.
I'm sorry.
In the future, You'll come to me to talk About these things.
Not that bishop.
You don't even listen to me.
You don't care About what i think.
Don't you ever say that to me.
You know what, dad?
I liked it.
I liked it And i don't want to stop.
You're grounded, ben.
You go to work, you come home.
No phone, no computer.
Indefinitely.
End of story.
Did you know anything about this?
Which part?
You and i will sit down to talk.
Understood?
I'm always right here, dad.
He can't live without her.
That is pathetic, margie.
If ben did that to a girl Where i come from, He'd be driven out to the 15 And dumped by the side of the road.
Nicki, can i tell you a secret?
If you must.
I lost my virginity at 16 too.
That's hardly a secret, margie.
I just think there's room To relax a little about this.
Margie!
Physical intimacy is for procreation, Not recreation.
And certainly not for idle gossip.
You already have a bun in the oven So i suggest you cool off.
Nicki, are you and bill not...
Uh...
Margie, if bill's too overwhelmed To have anything intimate with me, Then i feel assured That he's too stressed out To have anything meaningful With anyone else.
If that's what you need To tell yourself.
Oh, you don't think you Helped create the situation?
Your neediness is overwhelming.
I'm the most stress-free Of any of us.
Don't think he won't replace us If you two keep pushing.
Your father cleaned me out, bill.
I have sacrificed my whole life, Shared everything.
I just want this one thing.
Is that too much to ask?
How much did he take?
Approximately $30,000.
$30,000?
Off that little laundromat?
In five weeks?
It was a surprisingly Well-situated location.
Did you file a police report?
No!
I can't...
Exactly.
Uh, eddie-- He got us our start-up money And it wasn't entirely On the up and up.
He got $1.2 million From this woman who had cancer. "
got"?
Well, he took it.
as in stole?
more or less.
Mm, he told me she was dead.
I didn't know.
He said we needed to clean it up So we wouldn't have to pay taxes.
Kind of a loophole thing.
You're laundering $1.2 million?
Just to avoid taxes-- Estate taxes!
You said it was stolen.
Yes.
But she was dead.
Though it turns out now, She isn't.
But anyway, Now i'm running the laundromat As a good solid little business, But the 5% that eddie Cut me in on-- Frank took it all!
And i really need it back So i can buy new washers, Or i'll go belly up.
So you need to give eddie His money back.
That's good.
Gambling, bill?
This is eddie.
Leave a message.
Hi, eddie.
Sold western press, huh?
don't you tell him i'm here.
mom's here.
Sounds like you're up To your old tricks-- Robbing old ladies blind?
i won't spend my life Pumping gas with no hope!
You compromised me, eddie!
I just want to be Where the action is!
you compromised me!
will you hang that up?
Call me as soon as you get this.
Why can't you give up This gambling business?
You have plenty of other businesses.
This is to protect my family.
You give up yours.
I will not let the men In my life conspire To take this away from me.
Not this time.
Maybe we should send him back To seminary?
We could look Into don's church.
Huh-uh.
Mmm.
Wait-wait-wait-wait Wait-wait...
shh.
wait wait?
Yeah, okay okay.
Okay, wait.
Bill?
If any other married couple Started asking for a night off-- No, listen listen listen-- It'd mean couples therapy.
Do we have to talk about this now?
Does it mean more time away From the kids too?
Honey?
You get four or five nights A week to catch up.
I just need one right now.
Just for a while.
All right, One night off, but-- whoa.
One night off is one thing, But the fact that you need It scheduled on a consistent basis...
Please don't be this way.
I don't get to hunt or fish anymore.
Well, if you can't juggle everything, Then you should let something else go, not your wives.
well, there's nothing to let go.
You know, i spend all day trying To keep ahead of the eight ball.
You don't have to take over utah.
You don't have To be wal-mart for us.
We don't need it.
Well, somebody's got To bring home the bacon.
and the bacon, and the bacon.
all right, downtime is one thing, A night off is different.
This is what you signed up for.
I want it put on the schedule So it's official, And no one gets hurt Like last night.
so it is about one of us?
no!
I'm not asking for the moon.
Please, just schedule it.
If you don't, i'll pick The night myself.
Fine.
You don't want to share A bed with us...
Ach!
Why are you being Like this?
I'm sleeping on the couch Until you're ready to shoulder The responsibilities You signed up for.
You want some alone time, You can have it.
what are you doing?
i'm gonna sleep with my wife.
Not this one.
Bill.
You have to leave.
It's barb's night.
She wants to talk to you.
She told me.
I know.
That's why i'm here.
That's not right.
Sometimes i just need A minute to catch my breath.
And that's what i am?
Where you go to catch your breath?
To a certain extent.
why do you love me?
oh honey, don't.
Am i the one it's easy To have sex with?
The play toy?
Would ana have been the next one?
You know my feelings for you Go deeper than that.
I know what sex is about, bill, And it's at least a little About newness.
What if i become too familiar?
I'm not gonna be new forever.
Familiar?
Honey.
Honey.
This is not a talking issue.
I hate talking about things too.
I hate it more.
What do u like?
When you please me.
That's naughty, margie.
You're a naughty girl.
Yes, my darling?
I've been having a little bit Of difficulty getting you your money, But i really need my peas.
So i'm willing to offer you...
Something else that you've Been wanting.
And just what might that be?
I'll let you come in The back door.
That?
That was one night 30 years ago!
You're still thinking about that?
Come on, if i want an old caboose, I'll call union pacific!
You're an exciting woman But for 22 thou?
For that old caboose?
Oh-ho!
Oh, of course-- Hoochie-coochie music.
I get it.
That's rich.
Sit.
Sit!
Sit.
I'll give you something of value.
I'll tell you exactly Where that money went.
Our son took it all, every last bit.
mm-hmm.
You should be ashamed Of yourself-- For emasculating Our husband like that.
What are you talking about?
I saw what you did last night.
I saw you push him down there.
Push him down where?
Let's just say you should Close your curtains at night.
There are young children living In these houses.
How dare you?
Trust me, margie, I wish i hadn't seen it.
It wasn't pretty.
I wish i didn't know All the horrible things That you force our husband to do.
Force him?
I have to drag him back up Just to ve me a turn.
Men hate that!
Forcing bill into That depraved behavior?
There's nothing wrong With getting a little oral, I'm sure barb has him Do it too.
Well, why don't we just ask her then?
I will not discuss this with barb.
You are a sex addict.
And you're bringing our Man down with you.
Uh-huh.
And i fully suspect That you knew all about Benny and that blonde whore.
Should we tell barb About that too?
Nicki was staring In my house last night.
Were you doing something You weren't supposed to?
What?
I am not mad...
This time.
But it can't happen again.
If it's my night, It's my night!
he insisted.
you can say no.
Don't bet ont.
Listen, both of you, If i don't want to sleep With him on my night, He sleeps alone.
And until he gives in On this seventh-night business, He gets the cold shoulder-- From all of us.
Why do i have to suffer Because of you two?
Margie, you have free will here.
But if you ever want us To back you up in the future, You'll do this.
It's only fair.
Selma and i have sent you another token of our paternal esteem.
thank you, hollis.
Thank you for the information.
The coal mine was a soft target.
We sent roman's Illegal-alien workers running.
Without them, His unitlabor costs will skyrocket.
Next take a look at His irrigation-pipe company.
He employs 12 13-year-old compound boys Off the books, no salary, To lay the pipe.
Like peanut butter on toast, Roman's spread himself too thin.
Too bureaucratic.
Not nimble, bill.
Hang on a sec, honey.
Your brotherhood means A great deal to me and selma After our years alone In the wilderness.
We're a good fit.
Thanking you for your wise counsel, Respectfully hollis greene.
By the way, What kind of spam filters Do you use to keep Your systems open?
I-- i don't know.
I'll have to get Back to you on that.
Hi, margie.
We're all supposed to give you The cold shoulder until you give in.
Like, cold-cold.
Freezi cold.
Whose idea was that?
Um...
I wouldn't feel right Coming right out and telling you.
Was it barb?
Okay, yes.
And nicki's going along with it, But i think she could be turned.
are you onboard?
i don't want to be.
hey, bill?
yes?
Why don't you please nicki?
What are you talking about?
Why don't you please her?
I believe that's between her And me, don't you think?
I know that she says she Doesn't want it, But she does.
She really does!
Margie, that's more than enough.
Okay, bill.
Remember, I didn't tell you a thing.
I love you!
Benny?
Just because we don't Go to church like we used to, I-- i don't want youto think that I don't still believe That those values are true, That they're so very important.
I know.
I do too.
And...
I want you to know that...
If you need to talk to someone-- I just need you to talk to your father About these things first.
It's important to me.
I don't know if i can.
I'll make sure that he makes The time.
It's not that.
He doesn't think i'm worthy, Not like an oldest son.
Benny...
Benny, you are our pride and joy.
Mom?
I'm still the same person.
I know you are.
I'm not ruined inside.
I promise.
I know, benny.
What the heck are you doing here?
You and i got business to discuss.
You and i have nothing to discuss.
bill, you want me to get somebody?
sit down, fatso.
Shut up!
Don, stay.
Yeah, you stay, don.
Have a seat, don.
So you're up to your Old fun and games With that cocksucker eddie.
I don't know what you're Talking about.
Oh no, you don't.
No, siree.
Your loving mother sang Like a canary.
You have built your entire new Gambling business On the back of stolen money From a dead woman!
I repeat...
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's embezzlement, it's illegal And it's a business that can Be crushed like that.
Tied to liens, attachments-- It's criminal.
Now...
Your father Has a deep sense of justice.
Get out.
cut me a check.
i wouldn't give you a nickel.
A percentage of your business.
Oh, come on, we can be in business Together, you and me.
We can finally turn that corner.
you're pathetic.
is everything okay?
Beat it, pappy.
I am his father.
The man's a vagrant.
Take him out.
He's not allowed on The premises again.
We're not through here, Sonny-jim.
Not by a long shot.
He's crazy.
He doesn't know what he's saying.
Think he's pieced together our weber gaming Is the same weber gaming roman was after?
I don't know.
You need to get to roman Before he does.
Maybe it's time we cut Loose our greene boys.
Yeah, good idea, Lay the blame on them Or this house of cards Will go down.
roman.
so what's on your mind, bill?
It's hollis and selma greene.
They've paid me several visits.
They've asked me to-- To spy on the u.
E.
B., Offered me inducements.
They think they can exploit The problems that you and i have had And they're making A grab for our companies.
Can i get you anything, sir?
Yes, We'll have two butterscotch sundaes and two 7-ups.
yep.
The butterscotch is homemade.
Roman, they're erratic And potentially dangerous.
You know that.
They said they're going To attack your irrigationcompany tonight.
How's my daughter?

When i married bill, I thought it was just going To be him and me.
Oh, i loved him so much.
I couldn't imagine having To share that love with anyone else.
When nicki came along, It was the hardest moment Of my entire life.
I cared for her.
She took care of me When i needed it the most, When i was really sick.
But learning to love her Took a long time.
Learning to share my love For bill is something i still Struggle with.
I wouldn't change it For the world now.
But i didn't know It was the marriage i was Getting into.
Polygamy is a hard life.
I think you deserve To know what i didn't.
And if you decide you still Want it, All i can say is you need To really be onboard.
How many wives do you have?
I was thrown out of juniper creek When i was 14 years old.
I'm not ke them.
Roman grant is corrupt.
The greenes are erratic and immoral.

Those are their own brothers.
Your amoral little bedmates Are homicidal.
We're working with mexican authorities To bring 'em in.
I had no idea.
what do you need me to do?
you'll tell me when and where You're meeting them And you'll escort me there.
Huh-uh, my client won't Be put in harm's way.
He's already put his neck On the line to bring you This information.
A little respect.
Just because you drive a nice car And live in sandy Doesn't mean you're any different Than any of them in my eyes.
Ma'am, you'rnot from utah, are you?
No, i'm from boston.
And where i come from, You're all the same.
Mormons, l.
D.
S., polygamists-- You can't just wrap it up In god and make it okay.
Never step out of utah, 'Cause my great-grandpa never Had eight wives So i feel no guilt Putting you behind bars.
And what religion Were you raised in?
it's none of your business.
exactly.
You want the greenes, fine.
Get out a piece of paper And start writing.
She can't just go and Do something like this.
she can't say something like That and just make it up.
Stop it, ben.
If you have a shred of an idea That you want number two, You have to tell me.
It's only fair.
no.
I don't.
then why did you say it?
I just wanted them to stop, To leave us alone.
It's okay, ben.
It just came out.
I understand.
It's-- it's the only kind Of family you know.
No.
You'll make some girls Real happy one day, benny.
It's noon-45 o'clock.
The enemy is at the gates.
We may live or we may die.
We gave your grandfather Safe harbor, Protected him and gave him refuge.
We now open the floodgates Of vengeance.
You will all atone for this betrayal.
You can breathe easy.
They chased them into arizona, Crossed the border About 20 minutes ago.
They're as good as behind bars.

Will help lay the foundation For a life without lies, Where if you choose To live the principle, You can live your life openly, With your head raised.
Does mom know?

I want this life To be better for you Than-- than it's been for me, But i can't-- I can't do it all alone.
I need you to help me get there.
