Are you Jesse? Yeah. My name is Jesse Rayner
and I'm 30 years old. And I'm a member of the
Apostolic United Brethren, also known as AUB. So tell us more, like,
what's your situation? Where do you live? Yeah. We live right in the
middle of an AUB community. When you say we live there,
do you live with people? Yeah. I'm married to two women and-- So what's your plan? Are you leaving the
family, or just-- No. No. I'm taking my whole family,
if they'll go with me. What are their thoughts? Their hearts are
not necessarily completely in the same place as
mine is in regard to the AUB. If I don't measure up to
their parents' expectations, they can take my family from me. [suspenseful music] I feel like somewhat of a
hypocrite, where I'm like, OK, so should I help
this guy get out of an organized
polygamy religion to be an independent polygamist? Like, what am I doing here? But then it's like, I see
his intentions are true. He's a genuine man,
and his kids seem to be the driving force of why
he wants to leave polygamy. My name is Amber. I'm 29 years old, and
I'm married to Jesse. My name is Shelby. I'm 24 years old, and
I'm married to Jesse. (TOGETHER) We're sisters. We talked with Jesse, and
he said that you guys were interested in leaving polygamy. AMBER: I don't know. Jesse's told me that he doesn't
know what to believe anymore. We've been told by AUB church
that if our husband does question things
and he is leaving, then we should stick here
within the AUB church and not leave ourselves. SHELBY: I just worry about my
family being upset with us, and we're going to need to
cut off all communications. If I don't communicate at
all, that's very hard on me too, so I don't
know where to go. Do you guys feel like
you're going to continue to live polygamy with Jesse? Well, we just want to
figure out what's right. Yeah. Even if we found out that it
wasn't right to live this way or whatever, I think that we'd
still stick it out and stay together, because we don't want
to do that for our children, and we don't want to
do that to each other. We're a family still. [music playing] Well, hi, guys. Hey. Do your kids know everything
that's going on or-- The two older ones. Hey. Somebody's up in that
room, right here. All right, hey,
the lights are out. And oh, that's a freaking laser. Does he own a gun? Go inside, go inside. Go, go. We got to go. Jesse, can I talk
to you real quick? Yeah. Honest question, is there
anybody that wants to hurt you? I don't know. That I couldn't say. The reason why we ask
is because the guy outside was pointing a
laser pointer at us, and our concern is
that that was a gun. Does he have guns in there? I know he owns an AR-15. What is really going on here? You know, the
trouble is, is that I used to be a
part of a religious militia-type organization. I was a part of the
AUB security force. Let's cut to the chase. AUB security, a militia
force, and now we got a laser pointer pointed at us outside? I think it's time we get
the hell out of here. Let's get the cars loaded. Everybody's clearing out. All right. Jess-- the laser
is going again. You guys, with all seriousness,
get behind the frickin' truck. We got to get
everybody out of here. OK. Go, go. Go right that way. Come on. Get in the car, get in the car. Let's go. Hey, Jess, we're coming
up on this parked vehicle. Do not stop. Just go around him. Go. Go. Go, go, go, go, go. JESS: Follow them. Make sure they cross
the state lines. Jess, hey, go straight
back to the hotel. Watch for anyone tailing you. I'll make sure Jesse and his
family get out of here safe. We'll be with them
the whole way.
