Hey.
Hello.
How are you?
I walked into this health club, and I knew she was my sister.
And I could not remember her name, because there's so many.
Like, I got your text, and it seems
like you're pretty scared.
What-- what are you afraid of?
Um, I was just wondering if you could help me get out?
There's a list that Daniel made, who he wants me to marry,
like a list of married people and unmarried.
Two brother-in-laws, one uncle, and three cousins.
In church we would, you know, get promised
that, since we're in the order, we're
going to have the best life.
But I've seen my dad beat up my family.
I've been raped, and none of the girls
should have to deal with that just to go to Heaven.
Shanell's meeting me.
I got a frantic call from Melanie,
and her family is on to her.
Melanie said they backed her into a corner,
and she had to admit that she was leaving.
We have to get her out tonight.
She's not safe.
- She called, and she was-- - Oh, my god.
- --talking to somebody-- - Cody, which house is it?
She was, like, yelling and arguing--
- Is it this house? - Go.
[shouting]
Go. Go.
Gosh.
Get the [bleep] out!
Get out of our house!
- Coming into our house? - Get out!
- Melanie, let's go. - No.
You can come back with a police officer
and get your stuff.
- Melanie-- - She can come back tomorrow.
- Right now. - She can come back tomorrow.
No!
They're not!
Stephanie, you can't come in our house.
I was invited--
Did you leave?
- --by Melanie. - Get out!
Oh, my god.
She's trying to get out, and they're holding her down.
And holding on to her.
Your mom is holding her in here.
It's never too late.
Get out.
Right now.
Oh, my gosh.
- Where are the police? - No, look.
They're here. They're here.
We are a house that belongs to a polygamist family.
There is an 18-year-old girl in there trying to get out,
and her--
And there's, like, seven ladies in there--
Physically holding her down.
Can somebody go get her?
They're the Kingstons.
I just can't believe she had to do this to get out.
[crying]
Melanie wants out.
Let her go.
That order, that life was our home for so many years.
And it was a hurtful, disgusting home.
Thank you.
[shouting]
Where do I go?
What do you want?
God.
Oh, my god.
Everybody, if you don't want be--
Let's go upstairs.
Leaving the order is a huge betrayal in their eyes.
When you leave, you lose your family.
They disown you, as if you never existed.
Wait, Melanie, come here.
[crying]
I'm just sad that I have to say my goodbyes,
but I hope one day they will want to talk to me.
Because I still love them, and I still
want to be in their lives.
It's OK.
