line, and I will hear no more!

Leave our home before I...

- Go, go, go!

- Get out!

You're not welcome in

Sunday School anymore!

And forget about the socials!

Get outta here!

And as a kid, I hated

your Sunday School class!

I am sorry, Mother...

But no one can slander my

brother while I am here.

They forgot their hat!

Now why would he

come to a young boy?

No, he would come to learned men

such as us, such as us, yup, yup.

Eph, you need to know that...

what I testified of

to them is true.

God has come again to Earth

and angels minister to men.

I myself was about to die

from a serious rupture,

but through the laying on

of hands, I was healed.

You were healed?

The way Christ healed others?

Here, this is the Book of Mormon.

That very night, I chose to cast my

lot with Sidney and the Mormons...

and another adventure

was about to begin.

I should have known the

moment you returned.

What?

You always have been and

always will be trouble!

You abandoned us once and

you'll leave us again.

Mother, I'm just...

You bring only shame to your

father and embarrassment to me.

Because I seek to do what's right?

No! Because you only think

of your precious self!

It's not within you

to become a good man.

Once again, in my mother's

eyes, I had failed to be good.

So we did as she asked

and bid farewell...

then headed out for

the city of Joseph.

I had many questions,

but they were all answered,

and the determination

became strong within me

to be a defender of the gospel,

of Zion and her cause,

come what may.

The same year I was baptized,

a young man halfway around the

world was baptized also...

His name was Thomas Dobson.

You have gifts, Thomas.

Let the spirit guide

you to foster them.

You can help others with them.

You Mormons!

Run, Thomas!

Though I continually fell short,

I was trying to do better,

which helped me through the

death of Brother Joseph,

the Mormon Battalion

and many other trials.

At length, I made it to

the Salt Lake Valley

and thought to continue my

pursuits there in Zion.

Sidney! You know what the worst

thing about multiple wives is?

Multiple mother-in-laws!

He thinks he's funny, but he's not.

Brother Brigham... Arza.

Eph, there is something that I

would like you to do for me.

Before you spend another

minute in this place,

I want you to go home and

shave off that beard.

Yes, Brother.

Not a word.

I'm really not like my brother.

Well, what got into you?

I think the cat licked you clean.

I look like a peeled onion.

Brother Hanks, did I

ask you to shave?

Yes, Brother Brigham, you did.

Well, then, go on

home and do it right!

Now there is a man that

will give strict obedience,
