WEBVTT

00:13.346 --> 00:16.266
-Okay, it's rolling. Go ahead.
-Well, that's cool.

00:16.766 --> 00:20.687
Tolga and Christine
had a lot of videos of us.

00:23.481 --> 00:24.983
Sam trusted them,

00:25.483 --> 00:29.821
but… I was a little suspicious.

00:31.781 --> 00:34.242
One time, I actually told him,

00:34.325 --> 00:38.538
I was like,
"I think there's something going on."

00:39.581 --> 00:41.791
But he didn't believe me.

00:41.875 --> 00:44.294
I told them yesterday
that I trust Tolga and Christine

00:44.377 --> 00:46.379
with our stuff more than myself.

00:46.463 --> 00:48.465
-More than yourself?
-Wow.

00:48.548 --> 00:52.260
He blew me off
and then got after me for not trusting him

00:52.343 --> 00:53.678
to trust them.

00:53.762 --> 00:56.639
So after that, I didn't say anything.

00:58.099 --> 01:00.602
I was just being obedient.

01:02.562 --> 01:06.441
When you do filming that
doesn't have audio, it's called B-roll.

01:06.524 --> 01:09.611
So B-roll is just video
with audio in the background.

01:09.694 --> 01:11.321
-That's what it's called?
-Uh--

01:11.404 --> 01:15.992
The FBI told us the raid was imminent.

01:16.076 --> 01:17.619
Then we have the stories…

01:17.702 --> 01:18.912
-Behind it.
-Right.

01:18.995 --> 01:21.372
-It is powerful.
-So we have our audio…

01:21.456 --> 01:26.795
The FBI wanted us to help come up with
a ruse to get Sam away from the girls.

01:27.378 --> 01:30.131
So we played upon Sam's ego.

01:30.715 --> 01:34.511
What do you think of this?
In the studio, sit down with a mic on,

01:34.594 --> 01:38.014
and we get your talking… your life story.

01:38.098 --> 01:40.475
Explain your feelings,
you know, your emotions.

01:40.558 --> 01:41.726
Yeah.

01:41.810 --> 01:44.187
We planned an interview of him

01:44.270 --> 01:48.900
that we said was gonna be very helpful
for the world to know who he really was.

01:49.776 --> 01:53.238
Maybe we do one on Tuesday
in the morning with you. One on…

01:53.321 --> 01:55.615
-We'll figure it out.
-…Wednesday in the morning…

01:55.698 --> 01:58.535
Tolga and Christine
wanted to interview Sam.

01:59.410 --> 02:02.997
They said it was for the documentary,
but after a year,

02:03.081 --> 02:05.250
then you're wondering, "Really?"

02:05.959 --> 02:08.837
Can I get you to walk
into the room? Christine, you stay there.

02:08.920 --> 02:10.630
-Just sit like that at the beginning.
-Okay.

02:10.713 --> 02:13.007
All right. I'm right here, you're saying?

02:13.091 --> 02:16.803
I was observing, like, what's going on.

02:17.387 --> 02:18.888
What's she up to?

02:19.472 --> 02:21.391
So, let's start at the beginning.

02:21.975 --> 02:23.226
What are your dreams?

02:24.185 --> 02:29.732
I want to be an instrument in God's hands
to rule this earth in love and kindness.

02:30.483 --> 02:33.236
-Do you like my answers or are they dumb?
-I love them.

02:34.279 --> 02:36.406
I just had this gut fear

02:36.990 --> 02:39.200
feeling inside, like,

02:39.784 --> 02:40.994
who do I trust?

02:42.453 --> 02:43.413
Nobody?

03:32.712 --> 03:33.546
Rolling.

03:33.630 --> 03:36.966
Okay, I'm turning my phone on
"Do not disturb."

03:37.967 --> 03:38.927
Okay.

03:40.303 --> 03:42.722
-You want to recomb it somehow?
-Yeah.

03:47.852 --> 03:50.313
Don't sit where I can see you.
I might get distracted.

03:56.069 --> 03:57.362
I got my pinchers ready.

03:59.030 --> 04:00.490
Pinch you on your bum.

04:02.033 --> 04:04.035
We were filming Sam…

04:04.911 --> 04:06.329
…do this interview.

04:07.830 --> 04:09.249
Are you a prophet?

04:12.585 --> 04:15.171
I would be a liar if I said I wasn't.

04:15.755 --> 04:18.049
And we purposely made sure

04:18.132 --> 04:20.301
that the interview was not finished.

04:20.385 --> 04:22.011
Let me see that other list.

04:22.679 --> 04:24.555
I'll save that question till tomorrow.

04:26.474 --> 04:28.309
Are we good for tonight?

04:28.393 --> 04:30.228
Christine and Tolga,

04:30.311 --> 04:32.647
they had him going back
the very next morning

04:34.232 --> 04:37.026
so that we could make
our entrance in their warehouse.

04:37.110 --> 04:39.195
Okay, so, for tomorrow,

04:39.279 --> 04:41.364
I have a challenge for you guys.

04:41.990 --> 04:46.244
I would like them
to each write a question for you.

04:47.161 --> 04:49.789
I'm gonna come and pick 'em up tomorrow.

04:50.915 --> 04:52.333
The plan was,

04:52.417 --> 04:55.712
I was gonna be
with the girls in the green house.

04:56.879 --> 04:58.673
Tolga was going to be with Sam.

04:59.257 --> 05:00.258
Okay, dinner!

05:00.341 --> 05:02.260
Yay!

05:02.343 --> 05:03.845
Turn on that light, would you?

05:04.721 --> 05:06.389
There were three structures
to be searched.

05:07.306 --> 05:09.350
Two houses and one warehouse.

05:10.727 --> 05:12.895
The goal was to obtain evidence

05:12.979 --> 05:14.772
of his sex-related crimes.

05:15.690 --> 05:17.483
Just, we're shooting him tonight,

05:17.567 --> 05:20.403
and we kept the lights up
and everything for tomorrow.

05:20.486 --> 05:21.362
Okay.

05:21.446 --> 05:23.156
Now, on the green house,

05:23.239 --> 05:26.534
opening the door could be interpreted as,

05:26.617 --> 05:29.829
"Oh, she must be the one that told on us."

05:29.912 --> 05:34.917
But having the door jammed in,
I don't want the babies to be terrified.

05:35.001 --> 05:38.337
So, ultimately,
I'll probably be the one to open the door.

05:39.380 --> 05:41.049
I don't want to put you in a position

05:41.132 --> 05:42.759
that you don't feel comfortable in.

05:42.842 --> 05:46.554
If you think you're not gonna feel
comfortable in that house at that time,

05:46.637 --> 05:47.555
don't go.

05:48.097 --> 05:49.140
Oh, I'm going.

05:52.852 --> 05:54.520
Sam confirmed. Okay.

05:55.772 --> 05:58.691
8:00 a.m. I said,
"Christine's gonna go to the green house,

05:58.775 --> 06:01.903
get questions from the girls.
They'll be there probably an hour later,

06:01.986 --> 06:04.113
and then you'll meet me
at the place at 8:00 a.m."

06:07.742 --> 06:08.659
I'm a little scared.

06:08.743 --> 06:11.913
You're… You're gonna be in with them.
You're just gonna say, "What's going on?"

06:11.996 --> 06:12.997
Just… you know.

06:13.081 --> 06:16.376
Tomorrow's a big day.

06:17.251 --> 06:18.586
Are you gonna sleep?

06:18.669 --> 06:20.171
-No.
-Me either.

06:22.507 --> 06:24.050
Let me ask you a question.

06:24.133 --> 06:27.220
What should I wear
when I take down a pedophile, huh?

06:27.887 --> 06:29.639
What is the proper outfit?

06:30.181 --> 06:31.015
Hmm?

06:46.280 --> 06:48.825
There was a large number
of law enforcement getting prepared

06:48.908 --> 06:49.992
to serve the search warrant.

06:50.660 --> 06:52.036
They're waiting on my word?

06:54.122 --> 06:56.999
We send a code, and it's all systems go.

06:58.835 --> 07:01.170
We were very nervous because

07:01.254 --> 07:05.716
there were 50 law enforcement
counting on us.

07:06.676 --> 07:08.970
-You gotta be careful.
-I know.

07:18.688 --> 07:19.939
Hi.

07:21.315 --> 07:23.860
Do you want some Cool Whip? Here, baby.

07:23.943 --> 07:25.445
Christine showed up

07:25.945 --> 07:27.447
really early in the morning.

07:27.530 --> 07:29.031
She'd never come that early.

07:31.075 --> 07:34.996
Sam had already left for this interview
that they were recording.

07:35.830 --> 07:38.666
I remember feeling like,
"Hey, something's weird."

07:41.043 --> 07:42.670
When I went there that morning,

07:43.462 --> 07:45.590
everything was so calm and normal.

07:45.673 --> 07:47.550
But probably not right until dinner.

07:47.633 --> 07:50.970
I thought,
"Their life is about to turn upside down."

07:52.096 --> 07:56.392
I was at the warehouse
with Sam and three of his wives.

08:03.399 --> 08:04.567
I look outside.

08:06.694 --> 08:09.197
I don't see any police, nothing.

08:10.448 --> 08:11.491
I go back,

08:12.283 --> 08:13.367
sit down.

08:14.118 --> 08:16.454
I'm rolling here. Get ready.

08:17.121 --> 08:19.457
Boom. FBI is there.

08:23.044 --> 08:24.754
The camera was rolling,

08:25.338 --> 08:27.340
and they said, "Turn it off."

08:29.675 --> 08:31.761
I think Sam was very surprised

08:31.844 --> 08:34.764
that it was the FBI
and that he was facing federal charges.

08:34.847 --> 08:36.307
He didn't say much.

08:38.559 --> 08:40.269
They put him into the car.

08:41.020 --> 08:42.355
Sam was taken away.

08:43.022 --> 08:43.940
It was checkmate.

08:45.107 --> 08:48.152
And then the FBI goes to the green house.

08:50.905 --> 08:53.574
A call came in from one of Sam's wives,

08:53.658 --> 08:55.159
who wasn't in the green house.

08:55.743 --> 08:58.788
They said, "We have
a search warrant to search this warehouse

08:58.871 --> 09:02.416
and any person in it
and everything in it."

09:02.500 --> 09:05.086
And I'm like, what in the heck?

09:05.586 --> 09:06.629
Uh-oh.

09:06.712 --> 09:10.508
There's an officer at Joan's.
They're blocking the driveway.

09:10.591 --> 09:11.717
Joan's blocking the driveway?

09:11.801 --> 09:13.052
Okay. I'll get--

09:16.472 --> 09:18.057
This could be dangerous.

09:18.140 --> 09:21.018
If they try, they die, and we die,

09:21.102 --> 09:22.562
and they'll be accused of murder.

09:22.645 --> 09:25.314
Where's my pepper spray? I need an AR-15.

09:29.694 --> 09:30.820
I was in the shower.

09:32.029 --> 09:37.493
I heard the speakers going off outside,
like, telling everybody to come outside.

09:38.452 --> 09:40.413
And that the home was surrounded.

09:40.997 --> 09:43.624
We have
a search warrant for this residence.

09:43.708 --> 09:45.960
Come out the front door
with your hands up,

09:46.043 --> 09:47.962
and follow the officers' commands.

09:48.045 --> 09:50.548
Christine was like,
"You have to go out. You gotta go out."

09:51.173 --> 09:55.094
I did not want anyone
to engage in violence.

09:55.177 --> 09:57.763
I'm gonna check.
I'm gonna check, you guys.

09:57.847 --> 09:59.056
So I went out,

09:59.640 --> 10:03.603
and I told them
I will come out with them one at a time.

10:07.440 --> 10:12.403
I'll never forget how I felt
as I was walking the younger girls out.

10:13.904 --> 10:14.989
Feeling like,

10:16.490 --> 10:17.825
they don't know this,

10:18.367 --> 10:20.620
but I'm walking them to their freedom.

10:22.496 --> 10:25.333
And they're also
about to really, really hate me.

10:28.711 --> 10:30.713
I was one of the first ones that went out.

10:31.922 --> 10:35.092
There was, like, a line of FBI agents.

10:36.218 --> 10:38.346
And that was when it hit, like,

10:39.472 --> 10:43.142
"Wow, this is real."
Like, we're really being raided.

10:45.686 --> 10:49.899
They had patted us down
and took our phones and everything.

10:50.399 --> 10:53.653
And started taking one person at a time
and interviewing them.

10:55.988 --> 10:58.866
One of our goals
when serving the search warrants

10:58.949 --> 11:01.452
was to interview all of the wives,

11:01.535 --> 11:03.079
all of the minor children,

11:03.621 --> 11:08.292
and to see what… if we could get
any information from any of them.

11:10.461 --> 11:12.755
In the interview, I lied.

11:13.255 --> 11:14.548
I lied a lot in it.

11:15.132 --> 11:17.218
Of the interviews that I conducted,

11:17.968 --> 11:19.011
I would say

11:20.012 --> 11:22.723
100% of 'em didn't tell the truth.

11:24.475 --> 11:26.977
They didn't admit
that they were married to Sam.

11:27.061 --> 11:29.230
They didn't admit
that the girls were married to Sam.

11:29.814 --> 11:31.774
That's what Sam taught 'em to do.

11:33.401 --> 11:36.612
We stood out there
in the rain for a little while.

11:36.695 --> 11:40.074
I knew the girls were clearly distressed
as to what was going on.

11:44.453 --> 11:45.496
And then,

11:46.664 --> 11:51.085
DCS showed up to take
the underage wives into state custody.

11:52.169 --> 11:55.047
I just want to make sure
we can assess safety.

11:55.548 --> 12:00.261
DCS had requested court orders
to take the girls without letting us know.

12:00.344 --> 12:02.179
And so, it was a surprise to me

12:02.263 --> 12:05.683
when they showed up at the house
to take the nine girls.

12:06.809 --> 12:10.187
The teenage girls have to
come with Department of Child Safety.

12:10.271 --> 12:12.064
We've been given court authorization.

12:12.148 --> 12:13.399
Where's Christine?

12:13.482 --> 12:16.819
If anybody interferes
with it, to include following us, etc.,

12:16.902 --> 12:17.903
they can be arrested.

12:17.987 --> 12:21.365
We have the government, then you have God.
We are accountable to God, that's all.

12:21.449 --> 12:24.034
-You don't want…
-He's the one who gave us these children.

12:24.118 --> 12:25.703
We've had issues with,

12:25.786 --> 12:27.621
once a child is in placement,

12:27.705 --> 12:29.415
a parent will go pick that kid up.

12:29.498 --> 12:31.625
That's actually considered kidnapping now,

12:31.709 --> 12:32.960
and it's a felony.

12:36.088 --> 12:37.757
We need each other.

12:41.469 --> 12:43.262
And we're gonna pass the test.

12:43.345 --> 12:44.263
We are.

12:45.431 --> 12:47.808
Not even a day. Not even a day.

12:47.892 --> 12:51.187
They said that if we didn't let you,
they would arrest us.

12:51.771 --> 12:53.522
We can't stop 'em.

12:54.106 --> 12:56.817
They said you can bring
your dresses if you want.

12:57.318 --> 12:59.069
You didn't take any clothes?

12:59.153 --> 13:00.988
No, I did not.

13:06.869 --> 13:08.204
This way.

13:10.831 --> 13:13.501
They're not separating us from our mothers

13:13.584 --> 13:15.878
or anybody else.

13:19.006 --> 13:20.424
God damn you!

13:21.634 --> 13:23.594
I don't want any men in any vehicle.

13:23.677 --> 13:25.262
Are they in all the vehicles?

13:25.346 --> 13:26.680
No, we have…

13:26.764 --> 13:28.974
They're not gonna want to ride with a man.

13:29.058 --> 13:31.769
-Yeah, I do not want to ride with a man.
-I don't trust you.

13:32.311 --> 13:35.022
And He will come again

13:35.606 --> 13:38.734
And one by one, we'll rise

13:38.818 --> 13:41.654
To praise His holy name

13:42.238 --> 13:44.490
Risen

13:44.573 --> 13:49.286
To bring us home again…

13:49.370 --> 13:51.080
Okay, girls, we gotta go, okay?

13:51.163 --> 13:54.458
It's gonna be okay.
The faster we do it, the faster it's over.

13:54.542 --> 14:00.381
And He'll bring us home again

14:01.757 --> 14:03.759
Mother, can I give you a hug?

14:03.843 --> 14:04.969
It's gonna be okay.

14:05.052 --> 14:07.805
We're gonna come get you.
Heavenly Father's on our side.

14:16.105 --> 14:17.857
-Bye-bye.
-I got 'em.

14:23.195 --> 14:25.406
Sam's nine underage wives

14:25.489 --> 14:29.034
were taken to Phoenix
and put into a group home.

14:31.579 --> 14:35.040
And some of Sam's adult wives
came over to my house.

14:41.881 --> 14:43.799
They took Samuel.

14:52.474 --> 14:55.185
I took a backpack
with a bunch of personal information

14:55.269 --> 14:57.980
and stuff that's his,
and I threw it out the window.

14:58.063 --> 15:00.190
-Right before they came in.
-Where? Oh, good, good.

15:00.274 --> 15:01.984
Yeah. Will they get it?

15:02.067 --> 15:04.320
-No, they won't get it. You'll be okay.
-Okay.

15:04.403 --> 15:05.529
What'd you throw out?

15:05.613 --> 15:06.989
I threw it out the bathroom window

15:07.072 --> 15:09.533
when they… when they had surrounded
the front door.

15:09.617 --> 15:12.870
It's okay. Just calm down.
Sit down and relax. Don't worry.

15:12.953 --> 15:16.540
They had
my social security number already.

15:16.624 --> 15:21.378
Where did they get all that information?
'Cause they exactly knew.

15:21.462 --> 15:25.507
They came in like, "Yeah, you're…
you're Naomi. You're Shiny."

15:26.967 --> 15:29.637
I was starting to see,
like, there's more to the picture.

15:31.513 --> 15:35.392
There's somebody within the group
that's been giving them

15:36.310 --> 15:37.645
a lot of this stuff.

15:38.520 --> 15:39.855
I don't trust.

15:39.939 --> 15:42.566
I think this has been brewing
for a long time.

15:42.650 --> 15:47.071
Because they just know
way too much information.

15:48.572 --> 15:50.866
We know the FBI are doing their job,

15:50.949 --> 15:53.744
but they come
because somebody else called 'em.

15:55.829 --> 15:56.830
Your girls are here.

15:56.914 --> 15:59.792
I think I'm gonna go into the car
and crank it on the Bluetooth.

15:59.875 --> 16:00.918
One second.

16:01.001 --> 16:04.254
Just hooking up to the Bluetooth speaker
'cause it's so low to hear.

16:04.338 --> 16:07.091
-Here we go. Can you hear?
-Yes.

16:07.591 --> 16:09.468
Samuel?

16:09.551 --> 16:12.429
-They took all of our phones.
-Are you serious?

16:12.513 --> 16:14.640
Like, none of us have phones.

16:14.723 --> 16:17.309
I have no idea what's going on.

16:18.268 --> 16:20.896
Just be cheerful.
We're not doing anything wrong anyway,

16:20.979 --> 16:24.149
so when they find out
it's just a bunch of lies, then

16:24.650 --> 16:26.986
I'm sure they'll just let me go, so.

16:27.945 --> 16:29.905
-Okay?
-Okay.

16:30.990 --> 16:33.075
Do they have you in a holding cell?

16:34.076 --> 16:35.119
Yeah.

16:37.329 --> 16:38.330
We need you.

16:39.331 --> 16:41.041
-Be fervent, okay?
-Okay.

16:41.125 --> 16:42.793
We're not doing anything wrong,

16:42.876 --> 16:44.962
so it must have been
just a simple misunderstanding,

16:45.045 --> 16:46.839
so I should be out tomorrow, hopefully.

16:46.922 --> 16:48.132
-Okay.
-Okay.

16:48.215 --> 16:53.303
They said this investigation has been
going on before the Flagstaff thing.

16:58.350 --> 16:59.727
After the raid,

17:00.269 --> 17:04.148
I wanted to help them
break free of Sam's hold on them.

17:05.441 --> 17:08.902
I wanted to hear
what was going on with you, and I… I, um…

17:08.986 --> 17:12.990
I don't care if they have me in custody
as long as Father's out.

17:13.490 --> 17:16.994
But I do know
that they've got some evidence

17:17.077 --> 17:20.789
that is very, very close. So…

17:20.873 --> 17:22.958
What do you mean by "very close?" To what?

17:23.041 --> 17:29.256
Somebody that knows
everything that we do and say.

17:30.466 --> 17:31.341
So…

17:33.385 --> 17:37.931
I'm not-- Don't know if it's traitors,
or what, among us.

17:38.015 --> 17:39.183
Yeah.

17:39.266 --> 17:44.897
I wanted them to wake up
before they found out that I was a mole.

17:44.980 --> 17:46.523
You help everybody.

17:46.607 --> 17:50.152
Not only help us, but you'll go help
anybody who asks for help.

17:50.235 --> 17:52.780
You are so kind. You are such an angel.

17:52.863 --> 17:55.282
I'm worried about you,
and I just want you to be okay,

17:55.365 --> 17:58.368
and I want you to just be together
and safe and happy.

18:01.872 --> 18:04.291
After the arrest and search warrants,

18:04.374 --> 18:05.626
we had

18:06.877 --> 18:09.338
a truckload of evidence.

18:11.840 --> 18:13.926
We had seized cell phones.

18:14.009 --> 18:18.097
We had seized computers.
We had seized journals.

18:20.057 --> 18:24.478
Calendars to get dates of things
that happened, of travel that occurred.

18:28.023 --> 18:32.027
But even with the evidence we got
from the search warrant,

18:32.110 --> 18:36.698
we still did not have
a good child sexual abuse charge.

18:38.408 --> 18:40.661
The girls were in such a tight-knit group

18:41.245 --> 18:43.956
and still believed
that Sam was the prophet.

18:45.165 --> 18:48.001
Without an underage victim disclosure,

18:48.502 --> 18:53.215
there was not a likely chance
of prosecution for a sex crime.

19:00.264 --> 19:01.557
After his arrest…

19:02.349 --> 19:04.393
Can you say, "Hi?" Hi!

19:04.476 --> 19:06.979
…we went back to the blue house.

19:07.479 --> 19:10.065
He waves like the Queen of England.

19:10.774 --> 19:14.778
We weren't supposed to be
in communication with the underage girls.

19:14.862 --> 19:18.907
We're not worried about these girls
because they are with each other.

19:19.658 --> 19:23.704
They were all together in the group home,

19:24.371 --> 19:28.292
but they got access to a phone.

19:28.375 --> 19:30.460
Good night, we love you.

19:32.880 --> 19:36.550
As soon as my two girls
had been taken into custody,

19:37.509 --> 19:41.388
then I immediately
began to plan getting out.

19:42.848 --> 19:44.266
You moving in?

19:44.349 --> 19:46.935
-Is this your last load?
-I think so.

19:47.019 --> 19:48.020
Awesome.

19:49.021 --> 19:51.565
I knew I needed to show
that I have a safe place

19:51.648 --> 19:53.817
and that I can physically and…

19:54.318 --> 19:56.236
mentally take care of them

19:57.112 --> 19:59.239
so I could get back custody.

19:59.907 --> 20:03.035
-Do you do it on this side or this side?
-It's this way.

20:03.619 --> 20:06.997
I wanted her to get her girls back
and reunite her family.

20:07.080 --> 20:12.920
But also, I wanted her to get out
of that environment full of Sam believers

20:13.003 --> 20:15.964
because what on earth would happen to her

20:16.048 --> 20:20.344
if they found out she did not believe,
and she went to the FBI too?

20:26.725 --> 20:29.978
One day, the lady at the group home

20:30.062 --> 20:31.813
that was taking care of the girls

20:32.356 --> 20:35.400
had a paper from the DCS.

20:36.026 --> 20:38.445
She had written this note

20:38.528 --> 20:41.156
and ripped it up
and put it in the garbage.

20:41.865 --> 20:44.785
One of the younger girls had gotten it out

20:45.786 --> 20:47.996
and taped it back together.

20:48.080 --> 20:50.582
She took a picture of that
and sent it to me.

20:50.666 --> 20:51.833
And it said

20:52.501 --> 20:55.712
something about the girls trust

20:57.089 --> 21:00.592
the FBI informant, Christine Marie.

21:03.637 --> 21:04.888
Tolga!

21:06.807 --> 21:09.476
-What?
-DCS just outed us.

21:09.559 --> 21:10.602
What?

21:11.436 --> 21:12.938
They know. They know.

21:13.021 --> 21:15.148
What do you mean? Saying what?

21:15.732 --> 21:18.986
That we turned them in.
What do you mean, saying what?

21:21.363 --> 21:23.448
The court documents that DCS provided

21:23.532 --> 21:26.702
made it very clear
that it was Christine and Tolga and Julia

21:26.785 --> 21:28.578
that had provided information.

21:28.662 --> 21:30.956
They are on to us now.

21:31.039 --> 21:32.165
Yep.

21:32.249 --> 21:33.917
That was not anticipated.

21:34.001 --> 21:37.170
They had been working
to help all the women,

21:37.254 --> 21:40.173
and it just went down…

21:41.300 --> 21:42.384
down the toilet.

21:44.386 --> 21:46.513
I… I felt like they'd betrayed me.

21:47.681 --> 21:52.269
And I sent some really mean texts
to Christine and Tolga.

22:04.031 --> 22:07.367
One of the girls
just told Tolga to fuck off.

22:07.451 --> 22:09.911
And then she followed it up with

22:10.412 --> 22:11.788
something like,

22:11.872 --> 22:13.665
"Have a nice life, traitor."

22:13.749 --> 22:15.625
-It was Nomz?
-Yep.

22:16.251 --> 22:18.670
Everybody was really angry.

22:20.130 --> 22:22.883
Any pictures, anything you have of us,

22:22.966 --> 22:24.968
you need to give back to us.

22:27.262 --> 22:29.389
Because you guys haven't been honest.

22:29.473 --> 22:32.559
You guys give it back to us
and delete it off your devices.

22:32.642 --> 22:34.895
We're on your side.
We're not on the other side.

22:34.978 --> 22:36.021
You're a liar.

22:36.104 --> 22:39.316
-I know this is gonna be hard for you--
-Then don't say it.

22:39.399 --> 22:41.276
No, it's that I care.

22:41.777 --> 22:44.905
-I know it's going to be hard for you--
-I know that you don't care.

22:44.988 --> 22:46.782
-I do care.
-You have…

22:46.865 --> 22:47.991
I do care because--

22:48.075 --> 22:52.204
Through your actions,
you've split apart a family.

22:52.704 --> 22:54.539
Someday you're gonna understand

22:54.623 --> 22:57.876
that… that I really do love you guys
and that part is really true.

22:57.959 --> 23:01.213
I mean, your children should not
be having sexual experiences.

23:01.755 --> 23:03.173
-You don't--
-Christine.

23:03.256 --> 23:06.134
Jesus's family didn't go
to Judas for comfort,

23:06.218 --> 23:07.803
and we're not coming to you for comfort.

23:07.886 --> 23:09.638
I want you to get your children back.

23:09.721 --> 23:12.849
I'll get 'em back.
I'll have every last one of them.

23:12.933 --> 23:14.643
And God will fight our battles.

23:14.726 --> 23:16.311
He will deliver us.

23:16.395 --> 23:17.729
We will be free.

23:17.813 --> 23:21.233
And we will be with Samuel,
together forever.

23:39.501 --> 23:41.044
I remember them saying,

23:41.128 --> 23:43.505
"You're the only one
that hasn't betrayed us."

23:44.256 --> 23:45.173
You know?

23:45.715 --> 23:47.676
I just…

23:47.759 --> 23:50.554
But I'm not betraying them.
I'm helping them.

23:51.346 --> 23:52.222
Right?

24:04.943 --> 24:09.406
The text messages
started coming in from the people I loved,

24:09.489 --> 24:12.117
even from my underage daughters.

24:13.076 --> 24:14.870
I would have liked to have had

24:15.954 --> 24:19.040
time with my daughters
before they found out.

24:21.251 --> 24:25.839
I was very concerned what my husband,
Moroni, would do.

24:27.466 --> 24:30.302
He had been so very loyal to Sam.

24:34.598 --> 24:35.640
Moroni called.

24:36.725 --> 24:38.685
He said, "Are you ready to talk?"

24:39.186 --> 24:41.271
I just wonder if this is the day

24:41.354 --> 24:43.690
I say something, carefully,

24:43.773 --> 24:46.067
'cause he wants me
to go on a ride tonight.

24:56.411 --> 24:57.537
That night,

24:58.079 --> 25:00.332
Moroni and I, we talked.

25:00.832 --> 25:04.753
And I talked to him like
I'd never talked to him before in my life.

25:08.006 --> 25:10.091
I says, "We're adults,

25:10.175 --> 25:11.468
we're parents,

25:11.968 --> 25:14.387
and we're following a false prophet,

25:15.180 --> 25:18.433
and he's leading us right to hell,

25:18.516 --> 25:20.560
and I'm not gonna go there anymore."

25:21.228 --> 25:23.813
I says, "But you have to choose."

25:25.607 --> 25:28.902
He said, "Either we're damn right
or we're damn wrong."

25:29.653 --> 25:30.862
I said, "Moroni,

25:31.947 --> 25:33.031
we're damn wrong,

25:34.324 --> 25:37.619
and if you want to sit
where that man's gonna sit,

25:37.702 --> 25:39.371
in prison for life,

25:39.454 --> 25:40.872
you can sit with him."

25:42.457 --> 25:43.833
"You can choose."

25:43.917 --> 25:46.002
"But I choose to get out of this hell,

25:46.086 --> 25:48.171
and I choose
to get my children out of it."

25:51.383 --> 25:52.884
And he left that night,

25:53.677 --> 25:56.012
and he said he threw up all night long.

25:57.055 --> 25:58.557
Out of anguish.

25:59.474 --> 26:01.560
And I said, "You will go through it

26:01.643 --> 26:03.061
as you realize

26:04.229 --> 26:06.773
what we've done
as parents to our children."

26:08.316 --> 26:10.527
I'd never been so bold like that.

26:23.248 --> 26:25.917
I don't even know how
to describe it. It's…

26:27.335 --> 26:29.671
It's like reviewing again and again

26:31.339 --> 26:33.842
the greatest mistake
you made in your life.

26:34.342 --> 26:35.844
I'm responsible.

26:35.927 --> 26:36.886
It's like,

26:38.054 --> 26:40.265
what was… what is there in me that…

26:43.727 --> 26:45.812
allowed that to escalate like that?

26:47.105 --> 26:48.732
Unchecked, so to speak.

26:50.567 --> 26:51.610
Remarkable.

26:55.280 --> 26:58.199
About six weeks after Sam was arrested,

26:58.283 --> 27:03.455
Moroni contacted the FBI
and agreed to be interviewed.

27:09.544 --> 27:10.920
During his interview,

27:11.004 --> 27:14.924
we learned how much
he was involved with Sam Bateman.

27:15.592 --> 27:19.012
Sam has raped my little girls,
my adult daughters,

27:19.095 --> 27:20.889
my wives, and me.

27:21.639 --> 27:24.142
He was able to verify

27:24.225 --> 27:28.271
that his daughters were involved
in many of the group sex acts,

27:28.355 --> 27:30.982
where Moroni was having sex with somebody,

27:31.066 --> 27:32.817
and Sam was having sex with somebody,

27:32.901 --> 27:34.736
and Moroni's daughters were there.

27:35.737 --> 27:38.865
I did it.
I'm the responsible person for this.

27:38.948 --> 27:41.201
I'm the one that declared it was from God.

27:41.826 --> 27:45.121
Moroni was, in a way,
a victim of Sam's manipulation.

27:46.873 --> 27:51.461
But I find it very hard
to accept or justify

27:51.544 --> 27:56.257
that a father would allow
their minor children

27:57.300 --> 27:59.511
to go to somebody who

28:00.887 --> 28:04.974
is… having sex with young girls.

28:07.102 --> 28:09.562
He eventually accepted a plea agreement.

28:10.605 --> 28:12.482
He will be sentenced

28:12.565 --> 28:15.235
because he certainly was responsible for

28:15.985 --> 28:17.779
crimes against his daughters.

28:19.697 --> 28:25.453
I think that Moroni was hoping
to regain his honor for his family,

28:27.247 --> 28:31.042
but his daughters still believed
Sam was the prophet.

28:34.212 --> 28:36.923
-You have a call from…
-Samuel Bateman.

28:37.006 --> 28:38.299
-Father!
-Hi.

28:38.383 --> 28:40.260
I'm so grateful for you.

28:40.343 --> 28:41.261
Thank you.

28:42.011 --> 28:44.806
Samuel called every day,

28:45.473 --> 28:46.558
all day,

28:47.142 --> 28:48.226
on the phone.

28:49.602 --> 28:53.148
When you're in jail,
as long as you have money on your books,

28:53.231 --> 28:55.400
you can make video calls.

28:55.900 --> 28:59.654
And because he was the prophet,
if he wanted money on his books,

28:59.737 --> 29:02.323
Torrance was putting money on his books.

29:02.907 --> 29:05.118
Where is my darling little girls?

29:06.536 --> 29:11.624
The underage girls were connected,
listening to his orders.

29:12.125 --> 29:15.086
Action is another form of belief.

29:15.879 --> 29:19.424
Sam wanted us to get the girls
out of custody from the start.

29:20.008 --> 29:23.094
He told us that they belonged to him,
they were his.

29:23.178 --> 29:24.095
Step up.

29:24.846 --> 29:26.097
-Okay.
-Okay.

29:26.598 --> 29:28.850
I asked him, "If we get caught,

29:28.933 --> 29:30.769
what are they gonna do to us?"

29:31.811 --> 29:33.563
And he said,

29:33.646 --> 29:37.233
"They've already done whatever
they could to you 'cause they took me."

29:38.026 --> 29:39.360
Speaking of himself.

29:41.321 --> 29:42.697
I was like, "Yeah,

29:43.531 --> 29:45.241
that is the worst thing."

29:45.325 --> 29:49.788
And then Sam told us
to go pick 'em up and run.

29:54.000 --> 29:56.336
We took two vehicles.

29:58.379 --> 29:59.881
By the time we got there,

30:00.548 --> 30:03.885
it was around eleven o'clock at night.

30:04.469 --> 30:07.514
We picked them up
near, like, the freeway bridge.

30:08.014 --> 30:09.516
Where should we go?

30:11.810 --> 30:13.937
He didn't tell us where to take 'em.

30:15.647 --> 30:17.607
So we split up.

30:18.858 --> 30:22.487
And the underage girls went
with my sister-wife.

30:26.824 --> 30:29.494
A group of girls belonging to an offshoot

30:29.577 --> 30:32.205
of the fundamentalist LDS church vanished

30:32.288 --> 30:35.124
from Child Protective Service custody
in Arizona.

30:35.875 --> 30:38.253
Bateman has had
a number of calls with his wives,

30:38.336 --> 30:41.047
leading them to believe
that they are on the run.

30:41.798 --> 30:46.052
The eight girls who ran away
range in age from 11 years old to 16.

30:48.137 --> 30:49.848
The girls are missing.

30:50.723 --> 30:53.810
There was some plan,
and they all got picked up this morning.

30:53.893 --> 30:56.271
-And all of their stuff is gone.
-Oh my God.

30:56.354 --> 30:58.773
They might be trying
to head out of the country.

30:58.857 --> 31:02.026
How people even knew where to find them…

31:02.527 --> 31:04.737
It was like an orchestrated heist.

31:06.406 --> 31:07.740
My two daughters,

31:08.241 --> 31:09.826
the youngest girls,

31:09.909 --> 31:11.578
were missing out of custody.

31:12.870 --> 31:15.206
I was just in an absolute mental state.

31:16.332 --> 31:18.042
FBI is all over this.

31:18.668 --> 31:21.004
-Yeah.
-Now all of these mothers are suspects.

31:21.087 --> 31:23.047
They already put out
an alert for the border

31:23.131 --> 31:26.384
because they had some inclination
they might be trying to leave the country.

31:27.260 --> 31:30.346
Question is, who was driving that car,
and where are those girls now?

31:36.352 --> 31:38.271
When the kidnapping occurred,

31:38.354 --> 31:43.234
I was concerned
because if I lost my victims,

31:43.318 --> 31:46.571
I would never get
that definitive statement

31:47.405 --> 31:50.325
of what Sam was doing to them.

31:50.408 --> 31:54.495
We had no information
as to where they were going.

31:57.498 --> 32:00.001
None of the wives were accounted for.

32:01.544 --> 32:03.212
So we needed to find them.

32:07.634 --> 32:10.011
The green house has been empty,

32:10.678 --> 32:13.765
but Moroni saw a van parked there.

32:15.224 --> 32:16.184
Go straight.

32:16.267 --> 32:19.020
-There's still that same light on.
-The lights are on.

32:19.103 --> 32:20.480
If they knew the girls came out,

32:20.563 --> 32:22.607
they're not that stupid
to bring them here.

32:22.690 --> 32:25.652
-They do stupid things.
-They do stupid things. You're right.

32:26.653 --> 32:28.196
So we called the police.

32:28.279 --> 32:30.156
The question is, who's in there?

32:32.116 --> 32:34.410
I had come back to the green house

32:34.494 --> 32:36.371
to pick up food and stuff.

32:36.871 --> 32:39.457
And a policeman showed up.

32:40.041 --> 32:42.168
All I remembered is opening the door

32:42.961 --> 32:46.047
and they asked me my name and I told them.

32:46.631 --> 32:48.341
I see all the cars there now.

32:49.175 --> 32:51.219
We seriously don't need to be in the way.

32:51.302 --> 32:54.180
No, we're not in the way, baby.
They don't have enough men.

32:54.263 --> 32:55.848
There's only eight people

32:55.932 --> 32:58.601
working the entire department
of Colorado City.

32:59.852 --> 33:04.107
He was asking
where all the underage girls were.

33:04.691 --> 33:07.610
And at that point, I had no idea.

33:09.362 --> 33:12.365
But the policeman said,
"You're under arrest."

33:12.865 --> 33:15.410
The next thing I remember, I was…

33:17.912 --> 33:18.746
running.

33:19.997 --> 33:21.833
-There she is.
-That's Nomz.

33:21.916 --> 33:24.252
She's jumping the wall. Don't run.

33:24.335 --> 33:25.962
Back there, that way.

33:26.045 --> 33:28.172
Yeah. Go this way.
Go this way, Tolga. The way we came.

33:28.256 --> 33:30.466
-Over there.
-She was over there, by the dumpster.

33:30.550 --> 33:31.467
Get out.

33:32.301 --> 33:33.845
Oh my gosh.

33:33.928 --> 33:35.471
Come grab her.

33:35.555 --> 33:36.764
She ran so fast,

33:36.848 --> 33:39.600
and eight police officers
couldn't catch her.

33:46.607 --> 33:48.526
I made it all the way to the mountains…

33:50.570 --> 33:52.030
when I started thinking,

33:53.114 --> 33:54.449
am I really running?

33:55.742 --> 33:59.245
And I turned around and went back

34:00.204 --> 34:03.332
to turn myself in
and didn't have the courage.

34:04.000 --> 34:06.919
So I climbed up… I climbed under

34:07.837 --> 34:11.049
a box trailer in the neighbor's yard

34:11.591 --> 34:13.217
and climbed up in the axle.

34:20.308 --> 34:22.727
Nomz is a fugitive of justice.

34:22.810 --> 34:25.104
There's a nationwide arrest warrant,

34:25.188 --> 34:28.483
and if you take her in,
you're harboring a fugitive,

34:28.566 --> 34:30.151
and immediately call 911.

34:30.651 --> 34:31.527
Okay.

34:31.611 --> 34:33.446
She's in big, big trouble.

34:33.529 --> 34:36.699
He's been running her brain for
so long, she doesn't know how to use it.

34:36.783 --> 34:38.117
That's true.

34:38.618 --> 34:39.744
She has passion.

34:41.078 --> 34:42.288
She has commitment.

34:42.371 --> 34:44.582
It's all… It's in all the wrong places.

34:45.875 --> 34:47.543
I'm very worried about her.

34:48.920 --> 34:50.338
I wonder where she went.

34:55.176 --> 34:56.677
I was there all night.

34:57.929 --> 34:59.764
It was freezing.

35:00.848 --> 35:03.643
I froze my leg really bad.

35:06.562 --> 35:08.397
The next morning, then,

35:09.524 --> 35:11.818
I climbed out and

35:12.819 --> 35:14.195
turned myself in.

35:18.116 --> 35:20.284
When Naomi was arrested,

35:21.077 --> 35:23.663
I picked her up, and I interviewed her

35:23.746 --> 35:25.665
on the way to the federal facility.

35:26.374 --> 35:29.001
She wasn't making her own decisions.

35:29.085 --> 35:32.004
She was doing what she had been told, um,

35:32.880 --> 35:34.298
and she was very scared.

35:34.799 --> 35:38.970
But she didn't know
where the minor girls were hiding.

35:41.013 --> 35:43.850
However, because Sam was in prison

35:43.933 --> 35:45.643
talking to his wives,

35:46.269 --> 35:49.355
we had teams
going through those phone calls.

35:49.939 --> 35:52.275
Step up. It helps us.

35:52.775 --> 35:54.318
-Okay.
-Okay.

35:54.402 --> 35:56.070
We identified adult wives

35:56.154 --> 35:59.198
who had picked up the girls
from their group homes

35:59.282 --> 36:01.159
and taken them out of state.

36:01.242 --> 36:03.286
He said which vehicles to use,

36:03.369 --> 36:05.913
whether to split up,
to go different directions.

36:05.997 --> 36:08.833
I was able to track down different Airbnbs

36:08.916 --> 36:13.629
that had been reserved or rented
on specific accounts

36:14.797 --> 36:18.759
and found an address
of an Airbnb that had been rented

36:18.843 --> 36:23.055
by Torrance Bistline
up in Spokane, Washington.

36:28.144 --> 36:31.772
I was able to make contact
with a local sheriff's department

36:31.856 --> 36:34.650
and ask them to go check on the house.

36:36.527 --> 36:39.739
Nobody answered the door
to the law enforcement knocks,

36:39.822 --> 36:42.825
but he saw a van leave the house

36:43.326 --> 36:46.162
and pulled them over
for a traffic violation.

36:49.165 --> 36:49.999
Names?

36:50.082 --> 36:52.793
I know… I know
they're all in there, in the car.

36:52.877 --> 36:54.545
-FBI's told me they're missing.
-Mm-hmm.

36:55.338 --> 36:59.634
They identified the eight children
that we were looking for.

36:59.717 --> 37:02.386
We've had enough of fucking bastards.

37:02.887 --> 37:05.014
We're sick of you fucking bastards.

37:05.097 --> 37:08.267
I hope you realize
how wicked you guys are.

37:08.351 --> 37:11.979
We were able to get
all the girls back into DCS custody.

37:13.564 --> 37:15.775
They all were with Moretta Johnson.

37:16.943 --> 37:22.240
So Moretta was arrested for kidnapping
and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

37:24.408 --> 37:26.702
-Wait, what happened?
-Moretta.

37:26.786 --> 37:28.996
-In the car?
-Were the girls arrested?

37:29.080 --> 37:31.916
Moretta had the girls.
She was the adult with the children.

37:31.999 --> 37:33.167
Oh my gosh.

37:36.295 --> 37:39.966
Moretta is totally innocent of it.

37:45.346 --> 37:46.514
I know.

37:46.597 --> 37:48.057
When I went for help,

37:49.267 --> 37:51.894
I envisioned myself behind those bars

37:54.397 --> 37:55.982
speaking to my children,

37:56.816 --> 38:00.194
saying, "You go on. You're safe."

38:00.778 --> 38:03.114
Would to God I could trade our places.

38:03.823 --> 38:05.366
She don't belong there.

38:06.367 --> 38:09.328
She depended on us as parents

38:10.997 --> 38:11.998
to guide her.

38:15.418 --> 38:17.128
Bateman's wife, Moretta Johnson,

38:17.211 --> 38:19.171
the teen found
with the girls in Washington,

38:19.255 --> 38:22.299
was arrested and will be transferred
back here to Arizona.

38:23.092 --> 38:26.387
Two other women were also arrested
for their involvement.

38:27.596 --> 38:30.599
I had no idea
I was gonna be taken to prison.

38:35.521 --> 38:36.355
At first,

38:37.315 --> 38:39.775
I was really lost.

38:41.694 --> 38:44.030
My entire life, I was taught that

38:44.697 --> 38:46.532
obedience was everything.

38:46.615 --> 38:48.034
The first law of heaven.

38:49.076 --> 38:50.494
And now, here I am

38:51.162 --> 38:52.455
in prison

38:52.955 --> 38:54.915
for my perfect obedience.

38:56.083 --> 38:57.752
That was when I started to…

39:00.838 --> 39:03.466
wonder about my beliefs.

39:07.553 --> 39:09.680
Even though most of my life,

39:09.764 --> 39:12.433
Warren Jeffs was in prison,

39:12.933 --> 39:15.519
in our eyes, he was so holy and righteous.

39:16.479 --> 39:21.067
Sam would read Warren's personal diaries
to us almost every night.

39:22.568 --> 39:27.114
Sam was getting a lot of his ideas
out of Warren's diaries.

39:34.121 --> 39:36.582
Being isolated in prison,

39:36.665 --> 39:40.336
I actually started thinking
a little bit more about it.

39:44.382 --> 39:47.426
I had been in jail
for four or five months,

39:47.510 --> 39:50.054
and one day

39:50.137 --> 39:53.015
we were going to the courts
for a status hearing

39:53.557 --> 39:55.601
about the situation with Sam.

39:56.519 --> 40:00.189
And they accidentally put me
in a cell next to him.

40:01.565 --> 40:03.859
And he talked to me for four hours.

40:05.736 --> 40:07.196
He got all emotional

40:07.279 --> 40:11.700
and was telling me, "Oh, I haven't got
to talk to anybody for a whole year."

40:12.410 --> 40:14.787
He hadn't even been in there
for an entire year.

40:15.371 --> 40:19.083
And that was the first time
I actually recognized,

40:19.917 --> 40:21.168
"He's lying to me."

40:23.379 --> 40:26.090
After that, my whole mind shifted.

40:29.385 --> 40:31.595
Once I questioned one little thing,

40:32.596 --> 40:36.934
then a whole flood,
like a tsunami of questions came in.

40:37.935 --> 40:39.478
What am I doing with my life?

40:39.562 --> 40:41.564
Why do I believe the way I believe?

40:41.647 --> 40:43.232
Is there even a God?

40:45.901 --> 40:50.281
And I realized
I had been lied to my entire life.

40:50.364 --> 40:52.241
I was born in lies.

40:52.867 --> 40:55.453
And I couldn't even blame
my parents for it.

40:55.953 --> 40:57.329
They were born in lies.

41:00.124 --> 41:01.292
When I look back,

41:01.959 --> 41:06.005
I see that girl in third person.

41:09.550 --> 41:11.594
I thought I was in love with him.

41:12.094 --> 41:15.931
But now looking back,
I understand it was complete fear.

41:20.019 --> 41:23.397
The things that were going on
inside were completely

41:24.315 --> 41:26.150
different than what was showed.

41:26.859 --> 41:28.986
You have to let him go.

41:30.321 --> 41:31.739
It's not me.

41:31.822 --> 41:35.159
It was… an entirely different person.

41:41.790 --> 41:44.335
It's very disturbing.

41:45.753 --> 41:48.422
Beyond what anybody could fathom.

42:00.434 --> 42:02.102
It's hard

42:03.562 --> 42:06.148
not knowing if the girls are doing okay.

42:08.317 --> 42:10.277
Are you able to communicate with Nomz?

42:10.361 --> 42:13.489
Yeah, she's getting pretty homesick.

42:13.572 --> 42:16.033
She wants to come home pretty bad.

42:16.742 --> 42:18.410
Well, send her love from us.

42:18.494 --> 42:22.164
She might not appreciate it,
but maybe by now she will.

42:28.087 --> 42:29.547
After the kidnapping,

42:29.630 --> 42:32.299
all of the minor girls were separated.

42:32.383 --> 42:35.594
They were no longer in group homes.
They all went to foster homes.

42:36.470 --> 42:40.724
They were no longer communicating
with Sam or the other older wives.

42:42.560 --> 42:45.437
And that's when things
in this case started to open up.

42:49.275 --> 42:52.653
I was able to talk
to my daughters in foster care.

42:53.195 --> 42:54.405
Hi!

42:55.155 --> 42:56.824
When they were separated,

42:57.408 --> 42:59.451
they started to have
a better understanding

42:59.535 --> 43:01.704
about certain things that happened.

43:02.705 --> 43:04.957
And I had to say to my girls,

43:05.040 --> 43:08.252
"Could you have said no,
or, 'I don't want to do this,'

43:09.253 --> 43:11.505
without being punished in some way?"

43:12.381 --> 43:14.717
And they all had to say, "Uh, no."

43:15.884 --> 43:22.016
We talked, like, over and over about…
…coming forth with the truth.

43:22.099 --> 43:24.310
The truth is really the best.

43:24.393 --> 43:26.770
It was one of Julia's underage girls

43:26.854 --> 43:28.814
who came forward first.

43:32.109 --> 43:35.988
She finally admitted
that having sex with Sam did occur.

43:37.865 --> 43:41.952
And she then talked to some
of the other girls that had been with Sam.

43:42.036 --> 43:44.955
And a few more
of them started to come forward.

43:46.624 --> 43:51.545
They provided the full scope
of what was happening on a daily basis.

43:53.213 --> 43:56.800
At a certain point, Sam Bateman
was canceling all the religious classes

43:56.884 --> 43:58.302
and at-home schooling

43:58.385 --> 44:02.222
so that he could have sex
with all of the girls, all of the time.

44:02.973 --> 44:04.516
In addition to Sam,

44:04.600 --> 44:08.145
we got verification from minor victims

44:08.228 --> 44:12.316
against Sam's adult followers
that he had wrapped up into this scheme.

44:12.399 --> 44:14.818
So we arrested Torrance and Ladell

44:15.402 --> 44:18.238
and five adult wives of Sam.

44:18.322 --> 44:20.699
And we finally got information
that we needed

44:20.783 --> 44:24.203
for child sexual abuse charges
against Sam Bateman.

44:25.496 --> 44:26.705
It… It was big.

44:30.459 --> 44:33.921
Tonight, a polygamist leader
based in Colorado City, Arizona

44:34.004 --> 44:37.424
is facing serious charges
of sexual conduct involving children.

44:38.008 --> 44:40.010
Newly unsealed court documents today

44:40.094 --> 44:43.555
show a grand jury indicted him
on additional charges.

44:44.181 --> 44:47.059
The allegations are beyond disturbing.

45:07.121 --> 45:10.958
The US Attorney's Office said
it was the largest prosecution of the kind

45:11.041 --> 45:13.293
in the state that they could recall.

45:13.377 --> 45:14.753
In my entire career,

45:14.837 --> 45:18.549
I have never worked
as hard as I had to work for this case.

45:18.632 --> 45:21.468
It being my last case, it…

45:25.180 --> 45:27.599
it validated my entire career.

45:34.231 --> 45:35.607
Samuel Bateman,

45:35.691 --> 45:37.901
the polygamist self-proclaimed prophet,

45:37.985 --> 45:40.654
has now been sentenced
to 50 years in prison,

45:40.738 --> 45:43.198
the maximum sentence for that plea deal.

45:43.782 --> 45:47.494
FBI investigators state much
of their information came from a couple

45:47.578 --> 45:50.122
who had been filming
a documentary with Bateman,

45:50.205 --> 45:54.501
earning his trust to interview his wives
and document their testimonies.

45:56.170 --> 45:57.880
My false prophet

45:58.714 --> 46:01.675
was never held accountable
for what he did to me.

46:02.593 --> 46:03.510
Oh.

46:06.221 --> 46:08.098
So, with these young ladies,

46:08.182 --> 46:11.435
I was driven to make sure

46:11.518 --> 46:13.770
that it would be different for them.

46:22.404 --> 46:24.823
I was incarcerated for 21 months.

46:27.075 --> 46:29.495
When I first got out of prison,

46:30.454 --> 46:31.497
I was free

46:32.206 --> 46:34.166
for the first time in my life.

46:37.211 --> 46:38.545
Thanks.

46:38.629 --> 46:39.838
Sure.

46:40.506 --> 46:41.924
It's taken time,

46:42.549 --> 46:45.886
but I feel like I was, like, reborn.

46:47.387 --> 46:50.557
Like, every other week,
I have a new obsession,

46:50.641 --> 46:52.684
a new thing I'm learning…

46:53.268 --> 46:57.397
…that I had never seen or, like,
never even experienced before.

46:59.775 --> 47:02.486
There's just so much that you can do.

47:04.947 --> 47:07.449
I don't plan on staying
in the Crick forever.

47:12.996 --> 47:16.750
I'm in college, studying psychology.

47:17.501 --> 47:20.837
I want to understand what happened to me.

47:22.673 --> 47:26.134
Did you ever ask yourself,
how did we do these things that

47:26.218 --> 47:27.928
are not even in our value system?

47:28.637 --> 47:32.015
I'm learning that I'm not alone.

47:32.099 --> 47:35.769
It takes bravery to stand out
and walk on your own.

47:37.229 --> 47:38.856
With Christine,

47:38.939 --> 47:41.650
I didn't realize
how similar our lives were.

47:44.111 --> 47:46.947
Is this an emotional support cat?

47:47.030 --> 47:48.240
Well, hello!

47:49.783 --> 47:53.704
I understood, finally,
why she did what she did.

47:56.832 --> 47:58.000
Where are you?

47:58.083 --> 47:59.376
Pick up Moretta.

47:59.459 --> 48:01.253
This is amazing. How do you feel?

48:01.336 --> 48:02.337
Uh…

48:02.421 --> 48:05.757
A little anxiety with it, but excitement.

48:06.300 --> 48:07.467
Yes!

48:08.260 --> 48:11.013
Moretta had spent a year in prison.

48:16.393 --> 48:17.936
Did you tell him that?

48:18.020 --> 48:21.064
Her words are "prison set me free."

48:22.024 --> 48:23.817
I don't want to let go of her.

48:23.901 --> 48:27.487
It helped her to get
into a thought process of her own.

48:29.031 --> 48:30.157
For me,

48:30.240 --> 48:33.368
I've learned some pretty tough
and hard lessons,

48:33.452 --> 48:36.830
and one of them is,
I… I should be able to ask questions

48:36.913 --> 48:38.457
as a… as a woman.

48:42.544 --> 48:43.795
Moroni and I,

48:45.213 --> 48:47.924
we don't live together
as married at this time.

48:49.801 --> 48:53.430
How do I teach my daughters
to walk away from it if I can't?

48:54.389 --> 48:55.390
To the fullest.

49:55.534 --> 49:57.452
-Get out of the camera.
-Just stand there.

49:58.578 --> 49:59.579
Come here.

50:05.752 --> 50:06.628
Got it.
e.
