I'll pull that blindfold.

That won't be necessary.

Okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. Steady. Easy boy. It's okay.

Okay.

Here you go, pal. It's okay. It's okay.

Good boy, good boy. That's it. Come on.

You listen to me now.

Now, you're listening to me now.

Come on, good boy. That's it. Come on.

We're gonna be a good team.

I think that boy does speak horse.

Good boy. Good boy.

Good boy.

Good boy.

Good morning, Jonathan.

Here we go. I'm gonna get up on you now.

Good boy.

That's it, good boy.

Okay, you ready? Here we go.

It's okay. We're still partners.

Okay. Here we go.

Good boy.

Good boy. There you go.

Hey, we're buddies.

Joseph Smith himself ordered

a company of Danites

to put right physically

that which is not right,

and to cleanse the Church

of very great evils.

I have no wife whom I love so well

that I would not put a javelin

through her heart for lying with my brother,

and I would do so with clean hands.

There are sins that men commit

for which they cannot attain forgiveness

in this world,

or in that which is to come.

And if their eyes were open

to their true condition,

they would be perfectly willing

to have their blood spilt upon the ground

to atone for their sins.

If there is a person here

that has committed a sin

that he knows will deprive him of that

exaltation which he desires,

and he cannot attain to it

without the shedding of his blood

to atone for that sin,

and be saved and exalted with the gods,

they would say,

"Shed my blood that I may be saved

"and exalted with the gods!"

You've done wonders with him.

Good boy. No, he does most of the work.

I just hang on.

You two look like

you've been together forever.

You have a beautiful baby.

Thank you, but she isn't mine.

Her mother died at childbirth.

So, I'm just helping the other women

and Robert take care of her.

And she's doing a wonderful job of it.

I couldn't survive without her.

Can you believe what Jonathan has been

able to do with the stallion?

It's impressive.

But I'd like to see what happens when

you take him outside

the confines of this little corral.

President Buchanan has sent

thousands of troops

which are on their way here

to kill all the Indians and all the Mormons.

- It's outrageous.

- Outrageous.

President Buchanan means

to remove me as Governor

and give the kingdom to the Mericats.

I will try to take care of number one,

and if it is wicked for me

to try to preserve myself,

I shall persist in it,

for I am intending to take care of myself.

Hell cannot remove me.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- I am still your Governor.

- Glory to God!

I will still rule this people until God himself
