they sent that Mormon man to prison

for havin' too many wives.

I'm good with secrets, Willie.

Unless you piss me off.

Paper or plastic?

I'm having Sheriff Tipton's baby.

Lori! Hi. Look.

I'm pregnant with Sheriff Tipton's baby.

Can you believe it?

You know he's been knocking me up

for 16 years now.

Mmhmm.

ShinLee, it was bound to happen.

Mm.

I need you to do some things for me.

How many things?

Three big things.

What kind?

I need grandma and

grandpa's weddin' rings.

What for?

To get married with. What else?

I'm gonna make us

peas and carrots tonight.

From scratch.

Maybe try it with cream sauce.

I ain't leavin' you for her.

People want one at a time, Emmett.

That's just how it is.

The other one rots

in the back of the fridge.

Bullshit.

I can take care of myself.

It'll just make our family bigger.

More people around'll be nice.

So is that one thing, or two?

One. The other thing is,

you gotta lay low for a while.

So that means you can't make no war

on her dad right now. Not yet.

F*** me. Three?

I don't just want the rings,

I want your blessin'.

They'll marry anybody

up in Atlantic City.

Brothers marrying sisters,

black people marryin' white people,

drunk people marryin' drunk people.

I don't see why they wouldn't marry

the two of you.

I could decorate it.

I could make it real nice.

Get white... white flowers

and ribbons and cake.

I wanna get some champagne,

that's for damn sure.

- Well, it doesn't have to be fancy.

- Shhh.

Okay.

I'm givin' you one, two and three.

This one from mom.

This one from dad.

Wow.

Not so heavy anymore.

All right.

Thank you.

Careful. It's a live one.

Oh, lord! My goodness.

Thank you.

Shin-Lee over

at the dry cleaners told me.

Roseanna told their bishop

that he wasn't puttin' it in her anymore.

He put her on anti-anxious pills

and put their house up for sale

right after all that.

God knows, he never could admit

a damn thing was his fault.

What do you mean when you say collateral?

Well, you know, just anything of value

that you can back the loan up with.

No. I don't have that.

That's why I need a loan.

And what is this loan for exactly?

Well... I gotta get up to Atlantic City,

get a couple hotel rooms,

and help my son get married.

It's gotta be a beautiful wedding.

Then maybe play the slots a little.

When we get back though,

we're leavin' this hell hole

to go live out in

California with my sister.

And she's my son's legal mom anyhow, so...

...it's all on the up-and-up.

Listen, Virginia,

I shouldn't even be telling you this,

but I can't give you a loan right now,

because the bank is

completely out of money.

What kind of horse sh*t is that?

No. It's true.

I'm very sorry to hear about that.

Thank you for your time.

Betty, how much money's in your bank?

Oh, hey, V.

I believe we need to make examples

of each and every one of these criminals.

Not just on a local level,

but on a state level, as well.

That's why I'm running for a seat

on this great state's Senate in November.

Appreciate havin' me on the show.

- So how much?

- Shut up, baby.

Look, you're on TV!

...Sheriff's Patrol

have a gift for people like that.

And that's a one-way ticket

to the county jail.

On The Scene

is filmed on location.

Real crimes, real justice,

in your backyard.

I knew what I was about to do

was wrong, Willie.

But like you always told me,

I have responsibilities.

And I'm not blaming you.

I was just trying as hard as I could

to take care of my sh*t,

and my kid and everything.

And the way things

were falling into place,

you'd have thought

God himself wanted it to happen.

Betty?

Oh, my God, Emmett. Not now.

I'm late as hell for work.

Where's your mom? Is she all right?

I think so.

Betty, can I use your Granada?

What the hell do you want

that piece of sh*t for?

We're goin' to Atlantic City.

What for?

I'm getting' married.

Emmett!

You're still too damn pretty

to get married.

Don't go off and ruin everything.

Can I use it?

Christ.

Fill her up before you bring her back.

Premium only!

Hey.

Hello. Does a Virginia Nicholaus

live here with you?

- Ma'am...

- Oh!

You can't wear that in here.

Oh, no!

Mom?

Hi.

Where'd you go?

Just exercisin'. Who's here?

A couple of Mormons.

- What do they want?

- You. That's what they said.

Are you sure they're actual Mormons?

They're the real deal.

Okay. Um, go keep 'em company.

I'm late for work.

Fine. Um...

Tell 'em I'll just need a minute, okay?

All units in the area be advised,

on Riverton Road.

All units in the area...

- What's wrong?

- Bank robbery. Everything's fine.

Mom?

It's like God sent you down to me.

I've always wanted to be a Christian.

I just... I wasn't sure

if I was good enough.

Ma'am, the ladies

that sent us over here

said that you told her that you

were already a member of our ward.

Who told you I said that?

Uh, Mrs. Whitaker, your social worker.

Oh. She's a lyin' whore.

I don't have a social worker.

Ma'am... she said you were sick,

and you didn't... want help.

Why... why is that?

It's because she's one of 'em.

Make my lungs go all swish.

Everything goes out.

But what I want to know...

...is how do I become a good Mormon?

Well, it's a process.

But it's not too hard.

- It's not, is it?

- Ma'am,

I was hoping that we could take you

down to the hospital

and have them take a look at you.

Honey, I'm feelin' so much better now.

You don't have to worry about that.

Uh, well, then, ma'am,

can we just give you a blessing

before we go?

What do you mean?

It's just to absolve you of your sins,

in case anything does happen to you.

So you can go to heaven.

I need that to get to heaven?

Clears up everything?

Well, as long

as you're sincere about it, yeah.

Okay... Let's do it.

I mean, I'm not sure if it was real,

or just some crazy person,

but I'm real sure it was no woman.

It was not a woman.

That was clear.

So, uh, if you need anything,

uh, just call this number.

Oh, thank you.

It's... It's mine.

There's no tellin'

why they didn't come right after me,

but I felt real bad about Dale.

And Max, that was just plain old politics.

Just takin' him out while they could.

Only a f***in' moron

would rob a bank.

Everybody knows

banks aren't where it's at.

So when do you think

they might let you outta here?

I don't know.

You still goin' up

to get married tomorrow?

We could wait a week or so.

I mean, there'll be other chances.

I need you there.

You're my best man.

You know, your boss, Max,

is in here with me.

Says he's gonna help me set up

my first daycare centre when I get out.

So this all just might be

some blessin' in disguise.

Don't let me f*** your plans up.

We're meetin' at the bus

station at 8:
00 a.m.

So if you get outta here,

you meet us there, okay?

All right?

I'm goin' in to get her.

I'll keep watch.
