00:00:00I am a poor wayfaring stranger
00:00:17While journeying through this world of woe
00:00:23Yet there's no sickness, toil or danger
00:00:29In that bright world to which I go
00:00:35I'm going there to see my mother
00:00:41Who said she'd meet me when I come
00:00:47I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
00:00:53I'm just a-gooom
00:00:55I'm going home
00:00:59I'm going home
00:01:30Rina
00:01:32Are you okay? No, I killed a man. I don't think I can ever be okay
00:01:41There is a dangerous apostate who must be atoned Tracy. I can't find the Stevenson file you rule on Albert
00:01:51Leader of the Apostolic Brethren
00:01:54He denies the legitimacy of our church
00:01:59Of my priesthood and he spreads lies about us
00:02:04Heavenly Father commands that his oppression ends
00:02:12And he is called upon two women
00:02:16Vessels of creation and strength to carry out this most holy mission
00:02:24You know you got it here
00:02:26Right?
00:02:28He is a
00:02:30He is called upon sister Ramona and the other elected lady he has called
00:02:36You're my wife
00:02:37Sister Rina
00:02:49Let's go! Let's go!
00:02:51Dr. Alan
00:02:56Oh my God! Oh my God! Dr. Albert!
00:03:01Dr. Albert! Oh my God!
00:03:02Hello!
00:03:03W потер
00:03:11Come on.
00:03:41You didn't have a lot of choices.
00:03:51You chose to save your baby.
00:03:53Oh, that's too easy.
00:03:55That I could live with.
00:03:57I chose to stay.
00:04:00I chose to believe the stories.
00:04:02I pulled the trigger.
00:04:04I went back in and I pulled it again.
00:04:08So tell me,
00:04:09am I a monster?
00:04:13Is he dead?
00:04:16Did you check to see if he's still breathing?
00:04:18Hey, did you check?
00:04:20He's dead.
00:04:21You sure?
00:04:25Wait, man.
00:04:27I knew you ladies wouldn't let the prophet down.
00:04:30Here, you can give me those?
00:04:32Yeah.
00:04:32Guns too.
00:04:33Yeah, we gotta get going.
00:04:37We'll get rid of this.
00:04:39You two,
00:04:40you just keep driving
00:04:41until you get to Colorado
00:04:42and you don't stop.
00:04:43You understand?
00:04:44You understand?
00:04:45Dozens of officers helped fend off an attack
00:04:54at the funeral of Rulon Allred.
00:04:56The theory is the group was there
00:04:57to murder Verlin the Baron,
00:04:59leader of the Church of the Firstborn
00:05:01while he was in attendance at the funeral.
00:05:03The assailants are still at large
00:05:04and are considered dangerous.
00:05:06Our boots are not clean.
00:05:17The plan to atone Verlin at the funeral
00:05:20was perfect,
00:05:22but God did not allow it to happen,
00:05:24for we are not in his favor.
00:05:27Someone here,
00:05:28it could be you,
00:05:29it could be me,
00:05:30it could be all of us,
00:05:32are not pure in our faith.
00:05:33We have failed
00:05:36and we are not worthy
00:05:38or the plan would have succeeded.
00:05:42Jesus did not atone for our sins
00:05:45for us to fail, Heavenly Father!
00:05:48I will not allow this to be for nothing
00:05:51because there is too much at stake.
00:05:57I need to leave
00:05:58and pray.
00:06:03And you're coming with me.
00:06:07Me?
00:06:09No, Lorna,
00:06:10I need warriors,
00:06:11not a dishrag.
00:06:13Rina, get your things.
00:06:22You all
00:06:23need to get
00:06:24your house
00:06:25in order.
00:06:27And so,
00:06:35we went back
00:06:36to that place
00:06:37in Mexico
00:06:37where Ervil
00:06:39felt safe.
00:06:40Ervil loved
00:06:41having me to himself,
00:06:43so the only voice
00:06:44I heard was his.
00:06:45It's like coming home,
00:06:46huh?
00:06:46I could have brought
00:07:07any of my other wives
00:07:08with me,
00:07:09Rita.
00:07:12You know why
00:07:12I brought you?
00:07:13nor since you
00:07:16were little.
00:07:20I've seen this
00:07:21beautiful light
00:07:23around you.
00:07:27And I always knew
00:07:29that you would have
00:07:30a special color.
00:07:34Heavenly Father
00:07:35has finally revealed it.
00:07:36our son
00:07:47will be by my side
00:07:51when the saints rise
00:07:54into Heavenly Father's kingdom.
00:07:57Our son alone
00:07:59will inherit my mantle.
00:08:01our son
00:08:04is in
00:08:05the prophecy.
00:08:11This is a blessing.
00:08:15Will you continue
00:08:16to prove yourself
00:08:17worthy?
00:08:21I will.
00:08:22I will.
00:08:22I will.
00:08:23I will.
00:08:24I will.
00:08:25I will.
00:08:26I will.
00:08:27I will.
00:08:28I will.
00:08:29I will.
00:08:30I was in shock,
00:08:34struggling with
00:08:35what had happened.
00:08:36Erbil saw that
00:08:37and he figured out
00:08:38a way to get me
00:08:39to come back to him.
00:08:41How?
00:08:42Oh,
00:08:43by telling me
00:08:44my baby
00:08:45had been chosen
00:08:47by God himself.
00:08:48So then all of it,
00:08:49everything was part
00:08:50of a divine plan.
00:08:54Read it back to me.
00:08:55Dear President Carter.
00:08:56Not that part,

00:09:08satanic propaganda,
00:09:09and political
00:09:10violence

00:09:13instigated

00:12:02He didn't want to share.
00:12:05No.
00:12:06I was in love for the first time and it wasn't with him.
00:12:09I think he could sense that because he started to get paranoid.

00:16:09You're stuck.
00:16:10Hey.
00:16:11Get out.
00:16:12You're stuck.
00:16:14Ah.
00:16:16Ah.
00:16:18Oh, losing my daughter when, when my daughter was taken away, that, that shook me to my core.
00:16:31That awoke something in me that I had been working so hard to ignore for so long.
00:16:39What?
00:16:40What was it?
00:16:44Me.
00:16:45They sent me back to America to stand trial.
00:16:50I'll take it.
00:16:51Hello, Joe.
00:16:52Guess again, Sparky.
00:16:53Ervil.
00:16:54They said he was my lawyer, but what's going on?
00:16:57Is Erin okay?
00:16:58And how the heck am I supposed to know that, huh?
00:17:00I haven't seen her.
00:17:01Where are you?
00:17:02Uh-uh.
00:17:03You know better than that.
00:17:05Gentiles could always be listening.
00:17:06Look.
00:17:07Tomorrow is the last day of your trial.
00:17:09And I need to know that you are ready.
00:17:11How do you think I am?
00:17:12How do you think I am?
00:17:13Uh-uh.
00:17:14You know better than that.
00:17:15Gentiles could always be listening.
00:17:16Look, tomorrow is the last day of your trial.
00:17:17And I need to know that you are ready.
00:17:18How do you think I am?
00:17:19What if I never get to hold my baby girl again?
00:17:21What if I never get to see her, and be with her, and-
00:17:24you already. How do you think I am? What if I never get to hold my baby girl again? What if I
00:17:32never get to see her and be with her? You listen to me. There is one thing and one thing only that
00:17:38can save you and that is the heavenly father. So you pray to him. You speak to him. I have.
00:17:43I am. It is not enough. You need to commit fully. Commit fully to his true word as revealed to the
00:17:52lambs of God. You allow one hair of doubt to seep in. You will be abandoned like all the
00:17:58sons of perdition. Do you understand me? Yes. I am trying to save your soul here. You want
00:18:07a miracle? Then you pray. So I was in jail. Ona took my baby. What she wanted to do from
00:18:19the beginning? I was going to prison. There was just no way around it. And Irville called
00:18:23and he said, no, that's not what you should concentrate on. You have to pray. And I didn't
00:18:27have anything else. So I did. I stayed on my knees in that cell for 48 hours. And when
00:18:35the jury read the verdict the next morning, it came back not guilty. I was stunned. Everyone
00:18:44was. How did they acquit you? I mean, the logical answer is, uh, they didn't have the evidence,
00:18:52you know, because of our thrift store disguises. No one could identify us or put us at the scene
00:18:58of the crime. And there were no fingerprints. There was no DNA back then. So we were clean,
00:19:04at least in the eyes of the law. But? But what I saw? It was a miracle. Irville promised
00:19:19to deliver one if I recommitted and I prayed. And he did.
00:19:24I did. Hi. Hi. Hi. Aaron. Hi. Hi. It's Mommy. Hi. Aaron. You're going to have to give
00:19:50your time, okay? Hello, Rena. Ed, it's so good to see you. I'm so happy. It's good to see you, too.
00:20:20Well, come home. Never thought I'd see this place. Or any of you. Are you kidding? Well,
00:20:32we're a little worse for wear. We're here. So come on, tell me everything that's been going on.
00:20:43Do you want to go someplace else? For the first few months, I kept wondering why I was locked up with all these criminals.
00:20:59Men had dawned on me. What if I'm not that different? What if that's where I belong?
00:21:07No. That's not true. You can't give in to those thoughts. You're a good mom. You're a strong person. You have true faith. And that's not easy.
00:21:24Look at me. Marina, please. I've seen your heart. You're one of the best people I know.
00:21:31I don't want to believe you. I really do. I keep thinking about it that day. The life I took. And I know I'm not supposed to talk about it or think about it because I would be questioning the Lord's will. And that would be blasphemous. But I...
00:21:48If you could talk to me. I've been where you are. I can't make pain go away. I know that. But I can share it. Heavenly Father tests us to see how strong we are. Whether we're worthy.
00:22:03You sound like him. I can't get it out of my head that Erin was there. She was with me. Inside. And I pulled the trigger.
00:22:21It's getting awfully late.
00:22:24Herbal, I thought you were in Mexico.
00:22:27Time for bed, Rena.
00:22:33Time for bed, Rena.
00:22:34Ah, I missed you.
00:22:35In the...in the morning, get your things together. Or I'll head back to Mexico tomorrow.
00:22:52Why?
00:22:54I'm a wanted man, Rena.
00:22:58and it's coming with us no lord i can look after her won't you meet her by your side
00:23:09what why the prophecy he said she herself will inherit your mantle i said our son would
00:23:19heavenly father has other plans for aaron she's been promised to brother dan
00:23:28you said she had a greater purpose there is no greater purpose for a woman than becoming a wife
00:23:39the investigators might keep an eye on me in case you make contact
00:23:47just thought you should know you're important i'd hate to see you get captured
00:23:58you're always looking out for me
00:24:08and that little comment worked i didn't have to go back to mexico with him
00:24:15and it did seem like god was protecting him he escaped the law time and time again but
00:24:23some of the things he was saying didn't exactly add up all i knew for sure was that i had been given
00:24:29a second chance and i was not about to waste it
00:24:32let's pick up the pace this isn't the burger shack
00:24:43what happened to the belt looks like it's broke dan do you know what those cost
00:24:57replacing it's gonna eat the profits how stupid are you can't take it easy
00:25:03we're all working hard here
00:25:06i hope your daughter doesn't end up having that mouth of yours
00:25:15i'd watch it if i were you we'll be family soon
00:25:20brother dan's working everyone around the clock and he won't even give me money for groceries
00:25:34everyone's sick of dan's crap
00:25:36we need to be able to feed our kids
00:25:39and i don't understand why herbal would promise erin to him by the time she's of age he'll be a hundred
00:25:45heavenly father would never want such a union i don't care it's the truth
00:25:51okay just be careful who's listening
00:25:53ed get in here
00:25:56hebert
00:26:14i heard her cry
00:26:18what happened to her
00:26:22i guess she had a bad day
00:26:26heber was one of herbal's sons
00:26:34quiet kept to himself

00:45:15I surrender.
00:45:18We invited him here.
00:45:22Why?
00:45:25We're not the only ones having trouble with Arturo and Ervil.
00:45:30Just trust me.
00:45:33Ervil's demands have gotten out of hand.
00:45:36Why would we trust you?
00:45:39Ervil demanded I find some men to storm the prison.
00:45:43I said no.
00:45:44That was completely crazy.
00:45:45And that's when almighty hell let loose.
00:45:48Arturo started hounding me.
00:45:50He brought me some pages of what Ervil's been writing.
00:45:56Things will get worse.
00:45:58I tell you that right now.
00:46:01So what do you want from us?
00:46:04We're sure as hell not gonna follow you, Rena.
00:46:08All I'm suggesting is an alliance.
00:46:10Things could get dangerous and I think open lines of communication could be helpful.
00:46:15Just...
00:46:17Sure isn't God that's speaking to him anymore.
00:46:20That is for sure.
00:46:21That's not true.
00:46:22I can't believe the way you were talking.
00:46:25You.
00:46:26Of all people.
00:46:27Dan.
00:46:28You're not gonna stand for this, are you, Mama?
00:46:30I'm sorry, sweetheart, but they're right.
00:46:34Ervil can no longer speak for God's kingdom.
00:46:37He's a fallen prophet.
00:46:38It's true.
00:46:39No, I don't...
00:46:40Laura.
00:46:41No, I don't...
00:46:42I don't want to listen to this!
00:46:43Dan was back in our lives.
00:46:45It was a reunion filled with suspicion and doubt, but necessary for survival.
00:46:49Hey!
00:46:50Can I talk to you?
00:46:51Can't stop you, but we're not friends.
00:46:55Yeah.
00:46:56Mmm.
00:46:57I know...
00:46:58I owe you a deal to that.
00:46:59That's what I want to say.
00:47:00I know...
00:47:01I know.
00:47:02I know...
00:47:03I know.
00:47:04I know.
00:47:06I know.
00:47:07I know.
00:47:08I know.
00:47:09I know.
00:47:10I know.
00:47:11I know.
00:47:12I know.
00:47:13I know.
00:47:14I know.
00:47:15I know.
00:47:16I know.
00:47:17I know.
00:47:18Uh, I owe you an apology.
00:47:21Yeah, the only way to absolve myself of it
00:47:23is just to say it.
00:47:26Then say it.
00:47:32I shouldn't have forced you.
00:47:35You didn't want to marry Ervil,
00:47:37and I didn't give you a choice, and, uh,
00:47:40that didn't work out too good for you, so...
00:47:44I'm s-I'm sorry.
00:47:48If you're looking for forgiveness,
00:47:50I don't have any to give you.
00:47:57Well, I just-I wanted to say my piece.
00:48:01Th-There is...
00:48:04Hey.
00:48:07Something you can...
00:48:09do for me.
00:48:11With the authority bestowed upon me
00:48:14by the Melchizedek priesthood,
00:48:16I hereby release you, Rina Chenoweth,
00:48:20from the eternal bond of marriage.
00:48:23Amen.
00:48:25Amen.
00:48:27That-that's it? That-that's all it took?
00:48:36After all this talk of time and eternity?
00:48:40Well...
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:46God didn't make a mistake.
00:48:48We did.
00:48:49We did.
00:49:02It's over.
00:49:03And now there's hope.
00:49:18Brother Edward,
00:49:20do you take Sister Rina by the right hand,
00:49:22and receive her unto yourself,
00:49:24to be your lawful and wedded wife,
00:49:27for time and all eternity,
00:49:29with a covenant and promise,
00:49:31that you'll observe and keep all the laws,
00:49:33rights, and ordinances,
00:49:35pertaining to this holy matrimonial bond.
00:49:39Amen.
00:49:41It's okay.
00:49:42It's okay.
00:49:43It's okay.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:50:00What do you dream about?
00:50:02What do you dream about?
00:50:06I can't even stand here.
00:50:30I'm so sorry.
00:50:32I can't, I can't marry you.
00:50:35What?
00:50:37Why?
00:50:39I have so much love for you in my heart.
00:50:43I don't know how we could build a future together with the past that we share.
00:50:51I don't know how we can crawl.
00:50:55I'm still struggling with what I've, what I've done.
00:51:01What we've all done.
00:51:05I understand.
00:51:07Aaron deserves a clean slate.
00:51:11You don't need to explain things to me.
00:51:13This is what's best.
00:51:15I've been thinking about Dallas.
00:51:19Might be a perfect spot to go and open up a new store.
00:51:23I'll leave as soon as I know it's safe.
00:51:27You're leaving.
00:51:29No, I can't stay.
00:51:31You know I can't stay.
00:51:33Ed.
00:51:35What are you talking about?
00:51:37Are you sure?
00:51:39I want to do this.
00:51:41I want to do this.
00:51:43Please.
00:51:45The girl's here for his washer.
00:51:46He says he wants a special cash discount.
00:52:03Earl's here for his washer, says he wants a special cash discount.
00:52:15She's been stealing, Mark.
00:52:17Taking jobs and not writing them up, pocketing the cash.
00:52:27Is this true?
00:52:29Lorna, look at me.
00:52:30Is this true?
00:52:37I don't know what she's talking about.
00:52:40Let's go talk to Earl. He's outside.
00:52:45Pack your bags.
00:52:46No, no, no, you can't.
00:52:47No, we took you in, we took you in, and this is how you repay us.
00:52:51This.
00:52:53Get out.
00:52:55Now.
00:52:57Now, Lorna!
00:53:00Okay.
00:53:03I swear.
00:53:04Okay!
00:53:04Go.
00:53:05Okay.
00:53:21You just had to ruin things for me again, didn't you, Lorna?
00:53:28We're all accountable for our actions.
00:53:32If you think you're above judgment, you're wrong.
00:53:36Dan was right.
00:53:39You are a whore.
00:53:40Right, that's enough.
00:53:42That's enough.
00:53:43The way Aaron looked at me with such hatred, it was like looking at Ervil.
00:54:06And I knew right then and there he would never forget that humiliation.
00:54:10So just like that, they were gone.
00:54:11I didn't know it then, but that was the last time I ever saw my sister.
00:54:23What's going on?
00:54:25He's ordained them.
00:54:26Who?
00:54:27Heber and Aaron.
00:54:31I mean, they're just kids.
00:54:33They can't be priesthood holders.
00:54:35It's crazy.
00:54:37Why would you do that?
00:54:39Well, you don't recruit foot soldiers unless you're making an army.
00:54:43I mean, he's in prison.
00:54:45He can't hurt us.
00:54:49You sure about that?
00:54:58Rina?
00:55:00Rina?
00:55:01As your priesthood owner, it is my duty to tell you when you are on a sinful path.
00:55:30We're divorced now.
00:55:35Hmm.
00:55:40God united us and only God can separate us.
00:55:44And it is God you will have to answer to.
00:55:49I've made my peace with God.
00:55:50Oh, no.
00:55:52You see, that's where you're wrong.
00:55:54Because your name has been added to the prophecy.
00:56:00Your prophecy was wrong.
00:56:03There is a new prophecy.
00:56:05The book of the new covenant.
00:56:07I was 12 years old.
00:56:1612.
00:56:18When you hurt me.
00:56:20And you hurt everyone I love.
00:56:27You made us do terrible things.
00:56:30It had nothing to do with God.
00:56:46It was just you.
00:56:47I am the prophet.
00:56:53I am the chosen one.
00:56:55I'm not going to let you do it anymore.
00:56:58Not to me.
00:57:00Not to my brothers.
00:57:02Not to Aaron.
00:57:03Not to anyone.
00:57:12And don't you walk away from me, Rena.
00:57:17Rena!
00:57:19Heavenly Father will show you no mercy!
00:57:23And as soon as the sun rises, the blood will run.
00:57:27You cannot take your rights!
00:57:31The wicked will be punished and he will return!
00:57:57He was left behind by his many followers on his LeBaron colony in Mexico.
00:58:10To repeat, prison officials say that Herbal LeBaron, a.k.a. the Mormon Manson, is dead.
00:58:19He was found in his cell, unresponsive.
00:58:24Early reports indicate a heart attack, but they have not ruled out foul play.
00:58:30After that news, Ed left.
00:58:33He said he needed time to prey on what had happened.
00:58:35It's the first time I feel like I can breathe.
00:59:02It's been so long.
00:59:05It's really over.
00:59:10What that bastard stole from me.
00:59:16What I could have been.
00:59:18I guess I'm partly to blame for that.
00:59:21Mom, come on now.
00:59:24I put him on a pedestal for so long.
00:59:27I really thought he was God's chosen and now...
00:59:31Now I see what it's cost all of you.
00:59:38Can you forgive me?
00:59:41I love you, Mom.
00:59:43Love you too, babe.
00:59:45We all just do our best, don't we?
00:59:56Yeah.
00:59:58Did you grieve Herbal?
01:00:00No, I grieve for what we lost.
01:00:05But my, our family, my innocence.
01:00:10But no, not for the man.
01:00:11I, he didn't deserve my tears.
01:00:14Then you were relieved?
01:00:15He, I, I, I, I know it was complicated, but now it felt like there might be something out there for me.
01:00:30Like what?
01:00:34Happiness.
01:00:34And that's when I met John.
01:00:46Hello?
01:00:49Hi.
01:00:50Hi there.
01:00:51How are you today?
01:00:52Fine.
01:00:52How can I help you?
01:00:53Oh, um, well, when I press the on button, nothing happens.
01:00:57I, uh, think it might have stage fright.
01:00:59Yeah, maybe.
01:01:00Sometimes batter gets mixed into the mechanism.
01:01:03We can take it apart, check it out.
01:01:05Yeah, great.
01:01:06You can fill out this form here.
01:01:12Thanks.
01:01:17Who's that?
01:01:18That's my daughter.
01:01:20She's beautiful.
01:01:24I have a, a daughter too.
01:01:25She's eight now, but, uh, lives with her mom in California.
01:01:29Yeah, it's, uh, a bit of a long story.
01:01:32And I'm divorced too.
01:01:37Well, um, we'll call you when we figure what's going on.
01:01:42Great.
01:01:45Um, I know this is off the floor of me, but, um, I would love to take you out to dinner.
01:02:03Uh, yeah, that was, that was very forward of me.
01:02:06Um, sorry, I, I don't normally do this kind of thing.
01:02:09I just, um, maybe just, uh, give me a call when it's ready.
01:02:13Thanks.
01:02:18Yes.
01:02:20Uh, yeah, yes, I, I would, I would like that.
01:02:27I'd like to go to dinner with you sometime.
01:02:31Great.
01:02:32Um, how about, um, six o'clock tonight?
01:02:37Yeah.
01:02:40Yeah, yeah.
01:02:41Great.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:43Okay.
01:03:01Hello.
01:03:11Hello.
01:03:13You look real nice.
01:03:16These are for you.
01:03:20They're, they're beautiful.
01:03:22So are you.
01:03:24Oh, that was, um, very...
01:03:26Forward.
01:03:28Yeah.
01:03:28Shall we?
01:03:49Uh, let me, after you.
01:03:58What's wrong?
01:04:08Uh, I'm, I'm just not used to all of this.
01:04:20Well, I'm afraid the restaurant's gonna make you hysterical then.
01:04:23Maybe we, uh, we should just...
01:04:37Talk?
01:04:40Could we?
01:04:41I'd like that.
01:04:42Boy, was I wrong.
01:04:57I mean, I was happy, but...
01:04:59Herbal may have been dead, but he wasn't gone.
01:05:03Because he left...
01:05:04That.
01:05:05What does it mean to his followers?
01:05:10It was a blueprint.
01:05:13The last words of the prophet.
01:05:15He laid out everything he wanted to happen after he was gone.
01:05:20And who he wanted atoned.
01:05:23That manifesto he scribbled in a jail cell that you brought to my house was a hit list.
01:05:30Brother Otero, can we talk?
01:05:48Go ahead, talk.
01:05:52You know, when you were a little boy, I felt like a second mother to you.
01:05:57I used to sneak extra sugar when Del wasn't looking just so I could make that cinnamon
01:06:05bread you like.
01:06:07You remember that?
01:06:10I do.
01:06:14I loved you then, and I love you now.
01:06:19But?
01:06:21It sounds like there's a but.
01:06:24I'd like to take Aaron up north.
01:06:27Aaron's doing just fine.
01:06:28He's one of the men now.
01:06:29He's just 16, and I think we could better serve the cause from California just for now,
01:06:36and I could take him up there, and I could get a job, I could send money.
01:06:41Okay.
01:06:51Okay.
01:06:53I understand.
01:06:55But you'll have to go up and find a place to live first.
01:06:59Yes.
01:07:01Of course.
01:07:08Of course.
01:07:09They killed her.
01:07:26They shot my sister.
01:07:27Like a dog.
01:07:29They buried her body in the desert just like they did with Rebecca.
01:07:33What could you have done?
01:07:34Nothing that I can't help but feel guilty.
01:07:39As difficult as our relationship was, I loved her.
01:07:42I hope she knew that.
01:07:44But you didn't know what had happened to her?
01:07:47Oh, I had no idea.
01:07:49I was just living my life.
01:07:50I was completely and totally in love.
01:07:52Another house thing that she did with her is about the forgiveness.
01:07:59Thank you so much.
01:08:01Let's go.
01:08:02Bye-bye.
01:08:03Take care of yourself.
01:08:04Bye-bye.
01:08:05Bye-bye.
01:08:07Bye-bye.
01:08:09Bye-bye.
01:08:11Bye-bye.
01:08:11Bye-bye.
01:08:11Bye-bye.
01:08:13Bye-bye.
01:08:15Bye-bye.
01:08:16Bye-bye.
01:08:19Bye-bye.
01:08:19Bye-bye.
01:08:20I'd like to make a toast to Rina.
01:08:35Now, she may be my little sister, and don't get me wrong,
01:08:39there's been times when she's been a pain in my butt,
01:08:42but I've learned so much from her.
01:08:46Your optimism, your resilience have shown me that change is possible,
01:08:56and that God's grace can find us, even in the darkest of places.
01:09:02I can't think of anyone more deserving of happiness,
01:09:07of true, enduring love,
01:09:10the kind of which I now see she has with John.
01:09:13I'm so grateful for you, John.
01:09:16You've taken us as we are,
01:09:20and you have welcomed us into your family.
01:09:23So thank you to the bride and groom.
01:09:26Cheers, everyone.
01:09:28It was just kids popping streamers.
01:09:36We had a lot of healing to do.
01:09:38But even though we were broken, John still loved me as is.
01:09:43There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.
01:09:55Oh, there is a balm in Gilead to heal sin, sick soul.
01:10:09Oh, there is a balm in Gilead to heal sin, sick soul.
01:10:23Sometimes I feel discouraged and think my work's in vain.
01:10:33And then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
01:10:43There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.
01:10:53There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin, sick soul.
01:11:07There is a balm in Gilead to heal and shed a balm in Gilead to heal the blood.
01:11:27No, he grew up in the house.
01:11:39His parents bought it for something like $2,000 in 1928.
01:11:43I know, it's crazy.
01:11:45He fixes everything himself, even the plumbing.
01:11:49Oh, that's not what I meant.
01:11:52I'll be right with you.
01:11:53Yeah, I'm at the shop.
01:11:55No, no, no, no, not moving back.
01:11:57I'm just living with John now.
01:11:58He's helping out.
01:12:01Okay, I should.
01:12:06Hi.
01:12:09Can I help you?
01:12:16Heber.
01:12:19What are you doing here?
01:12:20I could have killed you just now.
01:12:24You know that?
01:12:25Just passing through.
01:12:38Don't worry.
01:12:40I'll be going now.
01:12:42He was right here.
01:12:43He was this close to me.
01:12:45Was it a threat?
01:12:46Yes.
01:12:46Oh, it's Mark.
01:12:55It's Mark.
01:13:02Hi.
01:13:02Hey.
01:13:04I was going to call him, but I wanted to tell you this in person.
01:13:09What's wrong?
01:13:11Brother Dan is dead.
01:13:14How?
01:13:15Shot.
01:13:17Police haven't found a witness.
01:13:19When did...
01:13:20When...
01:13:21It was two days ago.
01:13:24Rina.
01:13:26Aaron has killed Arturo, and he has taken over the church.
01:13:30And they have found Irvo's prophecy, and it seems like they're just going through the list.
01:13:36Which means...
01:13:36We're next.
01:13:38Maybe.
01:13:39Maybe.
01:13:44Mom?
01:13:46Aaron.
01:13:48Honey, you better come downstairs.
01:13:49Lions of Lions.
01:14:06Hello.
01:14:09Hello.
01:14:13Rina.
01:14:15Ed.
01:14:15Thank God.
01:14:16I'm so happy to hear your voice.
01:14:21I just wanted to check on you.
01:14:22You heard about Dan.
01:14:24It was a warning.
01:14:24If he wasn't safe, none of us are.
01:14:26That's what they want, you know?
01:14:28Fear is power.
01:14:30Take some time off from the shop.
01:14:32Spend time with Aaron.
01:14:34They can make do without you for a while.
01:14:37You need to take care of yourself.
01:14:39What about you?
01:14:41Who takes care of you these days?
01:14:43Oh, you know me?
01:14:45I always get by.
01:14:48Dallas is good.
01:14:50You know, I'm really...
01:14:52Bye, Rina.
01:14:57Ed said that I should lay low, so I quit working at the shop.
01:15:02And for a while, it seemed like things were better.
01:15:06Months went by, and I started to let my guard down.
01:15:10...
01:15:24Lorna, Yolanda Rios, Gamiel and Raul Rios.
01:15:28Leo Ivaniuk, Dan Jordan, Andrew, Jorge Vega.
01:15:38Yeah, they're all dead. All picked off one by one.
01:15:43And you.
01:15:53Hey, it's me. You still coming to dinner?
01:15:58Uh, yeah.
01:15:59Yeah, I'm very excited about it.
01:16:01You're making some sort of, um, French chicken?
01:16:05Yeah, a cocoa or cokey van.
01:16:08I'm not really sure how you say it. I've read about it in a magazine.
01:16:11Oh, uh, fancy.
01:16:13Well, I've just got a pickup to do, and then we'll head right over.
01:16:19Okay, great. I'll see you soon.
01:16:21See ya.
01:16:22Uh, Mark?
01:16:23Uh, yeah?
01:16:28I've got some frozen pizza, if it doesn't turn out.
01:16:33Okay. Good deal.
01:16:35I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
01:16:45What I didn't know then was that Mark was called out on a phony appliance repair job,
01:16:50and at the same time in Dallas, Ed was called out on a very similar job.
01:16:55I think of see ya!
01:16:57Uh-huh.
01:16:58Uh-huh.
01:16:59I don't know!
01:17:00There's still crew.
01:17:01I'll be so nervous.
01:17:03Had to leave it alone.
01:17:04Of course.
01:17:05There was this in Norway at the same time,
01:17:06and we saw three loose feet.
01:17:07Uh-huh.
01:17:08En acaba um-
01:17:10I'm just gonna-
01:17:11Annishaodawa.
01:17:12I break.
01:17:13I'm just gonna sit again.
01:17:14Oh, no.
01:17:15We'll sit in the river at the same time.
01:17:16We'll wait.
01:17:17That's not what I'm reading.
01:17:18What, 우리�?
01:17:20Does that sound has a loud capability?
01:18:52Let's go ahead.
01:18:53Where is he?
01:18:55He's usually annoyingly early.
01:18:59Um, just stay here, okay?
01:19:06Yeah.
01:19:07Yeah.
01:19:09Yeah.
01:19:10Yeah.
01:19:11Yeah.
01:19:12Yes.
01:19:13Agent Marlton, FBI.
01:19:14We have reason to believe that your lives are in danger.
01:19:17What's going on?
01:19:18Where's my brother?
01:19:19Is he okay?
01:19:20I think you ought to sit down.
01:19:22No.
01:19:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:19:27In the space of three minutes, I lost more than I ever thought possible.
01:19:33My brother, Ed, they just took him away.
01:19:38And everything they did that day was intentional.
01:19:42It was the anniversary of the death of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church.
01:19:48Mark was murdered on Rena Street.
01:19:50I mean, Ervil took so much for me, but it was never enough.
01:19:55Even from the grave, he kept taking.
01:19:57And the press, your people.
01:20:05They dumped it, the four o'clock murders.
01:20:08Because each murder took place at exactly 4 p.m. in different parts of the country.
01:20:13It was a big story.
01:20:16Law enforcement, they dedicated a lot of nine hours to solving it.
01:20:21It took years.
01:20:22I don't care.
01:20:23Do you know why?
01:20:24You mean like some inside scoop?
01:20:27Do I know why?
01:20:28No.
01:20:29I mean, the murderers all drove the same car and they wore the same clothes to make themselves
01:20:35indistinguishable from each other to confuse the investigators.
01:20:39It was a long time before I heard from the FBI again.
01:20:43Okay, so one thing that your grandma did teach me is that you put the cinnamon last.
01:20:48Okay.
01:20:49Okay, you got it?
01:20:50Last?
01:20:51No.
01:20:52Don't do that.
01:20:53Hello?
01:20:54Rena, it's Agent Marlton.
01:20:55We have news.
01:20:56We got them.
01:20:57Who?
01:20:58Heber and the other suspects.
01:20:59We picked them up at a Phoenix hotel.
01:21:00And they're in?
01:21:01No, he wasn't with them.
01:21:02He's still at large.
01:21:03But Rena, they had six children with them, ages 6 to 12.
01:21:04Maybe they'll tell us something.
01:21:05Children?
01:21:06Where are they?
01:21:07We've put them into foster care.
01:21:08They can't just be plopped into foster care with strangers.
01:21:09They're not going to get the help they need.
01:21:10I could foster them.
01:21:11With all due respect, that is never going to happen.
01:21:12The state would never let a cult insider anywhere near these kids.
01:21:14But they're not going to trust just anyone.
01:21:15I just called to give you the update.
01:21:16This is good news, Rena.
01:21:17This is a win.
01:21:18I'm sorry.
01:21:19We have a lot of children with them.
01:21:20We have children with them, ages 6 to 12.
01:21:21Maybe they'll tell us something.
01:21:22Children?
01:21:23Where are they?
01:21:24We've put them into foster care.
01:21:25They can't just be plopped into foster care with strangers.
01:21:26They're not going to get the help they need.
01:21:27I could foster them.
01:21:28With all due respect, that is never going to happen.
01:21:29The state would never let a cult insider anywhere near these kids.
01:21:30But they're not going to trust just anyone.
01:21:31I just called to give you the update.
01:21:32This is good news, Rena.
01:21:33This is a win.
01:21:34Talk soon.
01:21:35Bye.
01:21:37Hey.
01:21:38Is everything okay?
01:21:39Yeah.
01:21:40Hey.
01:21:41Is everything okay?
01:21:42Yeah.
01:21:43Hey.
01:21:44Hey.
01:21:45Hey.
01:21:46Hey.

01:22:08Hey.
01:22:09Hey.
01:22:10Hey.
01:22:11Hey.
01:22:12Hey.
01:22:13Hey.
01:22:14Hey.
01:22:15Hey.
01:22:16Hey.
01:22:17Hey.
01:22:18Hey.
01:22:19Hey.
01:22:20Hey.
01:22:21Hey.
01:22:22Hey.
01:22:23Hey.
01:22:24Hey.
01:22:25Hey.
01:22:26Hey.
01:22:27Hey.
01:22:28Hey.
01:22:29Hey.
01:22:30You know, they'd been shuffled around since they were born.
01:22:34They knew how to move and how to hide.
01:22:38But when those kids disappeared...
01:22:40I assume you know about that.
01:22:42I was just devastated.
01:22:45But it was like a wake-up call.
01:22:46It was like a sign, because after that,
01:22:49I started helping kids get out of abusive situations like I'd been in.
01:22:54Yeah.
01:22:56You want to see something?
01:23:00Good.
01:23:01Okay.
01:23:02Put your notebook away.
01:23:14These...
01:23:16are all my kids.
01:23:17Oh, these are all the kids you've helped?
01:23:19Yeah.
01:23:20All came from situations like mine.
01:23:23Some I adopted, and some just came to stay for a while.
01:23:30But it is always the poor kids.
01:23:34I mean, even with this most recent massacre,
01:23:36it's the women and the little kids who suffer.
01:23:40What is this?
01:23:41What is this?
01:23:42Hi.
01:23:43I didn't hear you sneak in.
01:23:46What, uh...
01:23:47Hey, um...
01:23:48Hi.
01:23:49Hi.
01:23:50Hello.
01:23:51Who are you?
01:23:52This is Ms. Ortez, and she and I are just having a visit.
01:23:56And she is a friend, and this is Caitlin.
01:23:59Hi, Caitlin.
01:24:00So...
01:24:01Okay.
01:24:02Why don't you go and do your homework?
01:24:05All right.
01:24:06Okay.
01:24:07See you later.
01:24:08I'll see you later.
01:24:09You start with math, okay?
01:24:10Well, it's nice to meet you, Caitlin.
01:24:13She's one of the kids you're helping?
01:24:15Yeah.
01:24:16I-I can't have this in my house.
01:24:18Of course.
01:24:19She's been with me about a year.
01:24:22And she's been through a lot.
01:24:24But...
01:24:25She's not part of your story.
01:24:27I never saw her.
01:24:28Yeah, I need your word.
01:24:30You've got it.
01:24:33Okay.
01:24:34Because I'm trying to give them a fresh start.
01:24:36I try and give them a story they can believe in.
01:24:42There you go.
01:24:43Thanks.
01:24:44Yes.
01:24:45Thank you for trusting me with your story.
01:24:49Yeah, well...
01:24:50Write it like I said it.
01:24:51Don't...
01:24:52Don't dress it up to make me look good.
01:24:54Not that that's possible.
01:24:56I want you to tell the truth.
01:24:57I will.
01:24:58Just...
01:24:59I want my kids to know that there's hope.
01:25:00That there's...
01:25:02Always gonna be men like him, but...
01:25:04They gotta keep moving forward.
01:25:05That there's...
01:25:06Something else on the other side of the pain.
01:25:08That's...
01:25:09That's the story I want them to read.
01:25:12Cause...
01:25:14You know, then maybe...
01:25:15Maybe...
01:25:18Maybe...
01:25:22Maybe you can be forgiven?
01:25:28Maybe.
01:25:33Mm-hmm.
01:25:40I looked it up.
01:25:41And Rina...
01:25:43Means joy.
01:25:46You bring happiness and joy to all that you mean.
01:25:51There's no greater thing.
01:25:56You...
01:25:57Will be a light unto the world.
01:25:59Will be a light unto the world.
01:26:27I am a poor, weak, fair, and stranger.
01:26:44While journeying through this world of woe.
01:26:51Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger.
01:26:56That bright world to which I go.
01:27:01I'm going there to see my father.
01:27:06I'm going there no more to roam.
01:27:10I'm just a-going over Jordan.
01:27:11I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:12I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:13I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:14I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:15I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:16I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:17I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:18I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:19I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:20I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:21I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:22I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:23I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:24I'm just a-going over home.
01:27:25know we're home
