Brigham City Page #3

to release Sister Perkins

from her calling as a teacher

in the Relief Society.

All of those who, along with me,

would like to express

their gratitude for the many

hours of service,

please make it manifest

with the uplifted hand.

Thanks, Judy.

And now we will prepare

to partake of the sacrament

by signing

hymn number 193,

"I Stand All Amazed,"

following which the sacrament

will be blessed and passed

by the Aaronic Priesthood.

(church organ playing)

All:

^ I stand all amazed ^

^ At the love

Jesus offers me... ^

That they may witness unto Thee,

O God, the Eternal Father,

that they do always

remember Him;

that they may have

His spirit to be with them.

- Amen.

- All:
Amen.

- Hey, Steve.

- Bishop.

Okay, there you go.

Thanks.

I'd say you're welcome,

but it's really something

I'd rather not do again.

I'm sorry

you had to see this.

I don't suppose you can

say anything about that?

You've kept my secrets.

I'll keep yours.

You're a good man.

Don't let it get out.

It'll ruin my reputation.

Christ says we should be,

and I love how He puts this,

"as wise as serpents,

yet as harmless as doves."

What do you think

He means by that?

Let's go

to another Scripture.

Ah, Brother Hanks.

I think He was saying...

It's like if you have to go

to a used car lot...

you got to know all the different

ways that the guy can rip you off.

No offense, John.

I mean, you can't be gullible.

You have to know all

the different ways you can get hurt.

But how does that fit in

with something else that Jesus said?

We're supposed to be

like little children, right?

Christ says, unless we're

like little children,

we will not enter

the Kingdom of God.

And children are totally innocent.

They're gullible.

Do we have to lose

our innocence to gain wisdom?

(children laughing)

Christ was wise,

but He was sinless.

True, but what about

Adam and Eve?

They were sinless...

well, for awhile.

(laughter)

But were they wise?

Let's go to another Scripture.

Book of Mormon,

second Nephi,

Chapter Il,

Verses 22 to 25.

Do I have a volunteer?

I'm sorry, sister,

I don't know your name.

Meredith... Cole.

Sister Cole, would you like

to read that for us?

I'm sorry.

I'm not a Mormon.

I'm just observing.

Oh, good.

Welcome.

Thank you.

You can read,

can't you?

Yes, I can.

Would you mind

reading that for us?

Sure.

"If Adam had not

transgressed,

he would not

have fallen."

(whimpering)

What are you after?

(dog barks)

Go on,

get out of here!

Get!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Get!

- Is the sheriff in there?

- I think he's at a meeting.

Sheriff!

Sheriff?

(knocking on door)

Hey, Bishop!

What brings you our way?

Hi, Evelyn.

Do you mind if I come in?

Mind? We've been

inviting you over for six months.

- Come on in.

- Thanks.

Can I talk you

into staying for dinner?

- No, no, I can't.

- Oh. Ernie?

Come on in.

Carolyn will be home any minute.

She was off and gone before

we even got up this morning.

- Hey there, Bishop.

- Hey, Ernie.

- You staying for dinner?

- No, I can't.

Sit down,

sit down.

Sit down.

Evelyn:

So, what's on your mind?

What can we do

for you, Wes?

It's about Carolyn.

(phone rings)

- Excuse me.

- Ernie, no!

I'll just be

a minute.

Hello?

- Can I get you something to drink?

- Yeah, this is Ernie.

Hey, Linda.

Yeah, no...

the Sheriff, he's right here.

Wes is here right now.

Bishop? Can I get you

a cold drink or something?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh...

are you sure?

Are you sure it's her?

(sobbing)

Ernie:
No... no.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(deep sobbing)

(phone rings)

(phone rings)

Ernie, no. No!

My baby. Wes...

- That's my baby!

- (phone rings)

I'm sorry.

(ringing continues)

I'm so sorry.

- (ringing continues)

- This is Sherry Cornell...

reporting to you live

from Brigham, Utah,

a once sleepy town,

put on the map tonight

as the scene

of a grisly murder...

(sobbing)

Congratulations,

Sheriff.

You've got

a serial killer in town.

Stuart Udall, do you swear

to uphold the constitution

of the State of Utah,

the laws of Kirtland County

and the cities therein?

Yes, sir, I do.

Then I hereby deputize you.

You now serve at the pleasure

of the sheriff.

Excuse me.

Is Wes Clayton here?

- No.

- If you don't tell Wes I'm out here,

I'm going to walk

into his office right now!

- I wouldn't recommend it.

- Peg...

I need to see you

for five minutes.

I know that.

Give me a couple minutes.

I need a couple thousand of these.

Shrink them and put two on a page.

- All right.

- Can we have a word?

No. Then get a hold of all

the Aaronic Priesthood boys in town.

All of them. I want a copy of that

on every doorstep before dark.

- Got it.

- Terry!

- Wesley!

- Mayor!

You're gonna have

to hold on a few minutes!

- Are you the mayor?

- Yes I am. Who are you?

My name is Jack.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?

I guess that

would be fine.

It'll be all right.

It'll be fine.

Wes:
I need you and Terry

to knock on every door

within two blocks

of the square.

Let's notjust talk

to whoever answers the door.

Talk to everybody who lives there,

anybody that was visiting yesterday,

- Anybody who could've seen anything.

- Got it.

- Let's get it done.

- Yes, sir.

Sheriff.

- You got a minute?

- No, I don't.

I need your permission

to look at the files

for anything that might help

the investigation.

You can look at anything you want to,

just don't remove anything,

and let me know what

you're making copies of.

- Deal.

- You won't find anything.

Everybody here dies

of natural causes.

What about

Tamra Hillam?

Tammy Hillam?

I've heard her name

three times today.

Well, for one thing,

she isn't dead.

She took off during

her senior year of high school,

A couple of years ago.

Big fight with her parents.

She went off to be a movie star.

That's the last anybody heard of her.

No postcards,

no e-mails?

Nothing,

not even to her friends?

Sheriff...

no postcards or anything?

Look, it's in her file.

Tell Peg to give you access.

Thank you.

(shutter clicks)

(clicks)

Reporter:
... a resident of Brigham,

Utah, who knew the second victim.

- Is that true?

- Man:
Yeah, that's true.

I took her

to the junior prom last year.

We were...

you know,

we were very close.

Everybody says

she was murdered.

Yeah, there's

no doubt about it.

Was she...

was she violated?

Yeah.

Do you have any men

working for you

that might be capable

of something like that?

No, I don't.

Most of your men

are outsiders.

- They're migratory.

- Yes, they are.

Maybe you don't know them

as well as you think you do.

I know enough that I don't have any

of that kind working for me.

How do you know that?

The way I figure it is,

a guy who does

something like this,

kind of has

to work himself up to it.

He has a record of some kind...

a rape,

or assault,

or some kind of violence.

Hey, do you

remember that kid...

that kid who broke into
