Alright, Rachel...
Let's begin with the prayer. I'll offer it.
Heavenly Father, we are so grateful to have the opportunity
to be gathered together here
to interview Rachel Angela McKnight on this,
her 15th birthday.
We are grateful for her obedience
and for her great zest for life.
Please bless that this interview proceed with honesty
and that we may be guided with the spirit.
We look forward to the day when the Savior will come.
In His holy name, Amen.
- Amen. - Amen.
What is that?
That's a cassette tape.
Regulation requires
the oral documentation of all ecclesiastical interviews
from the ages of 15 and up.
Is it new?
Mmmhmm.
But its purposes can be used for evil,
so we'll keep it to those who can be trusted.
Is he staying here for the interview?
She can trust you, can't she Mr. Will?
Well, answer her, son.
You can trust me.
Great.
Alright then, Rachel...
Let's begin.
Do you believe in God, the eternal Father,
that His son Jesus Christ will come to Earth to save us?
And do you have a firm testimony of God's commandments?
Yes.
Do you sustain Paul McKnight as the prophet, seer, revelator
and do you recognize him as the only person on this earth
authorized to exercise all priesthood keys?
Yes.
I mean, so far.
Well, fair enough.
Alright, next.
Do you affiliate with any group or individual
whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose
those accepted by this church?
No.
Unless you count Mr. Will.
Next.
Do you honor your mother and father?
You can answer that better than me.
I think you can say yes
and still be pretty close to the truth now, can't you?
Alright, let's continue with all seriousness, shall we?
Do you live by the law of chastity?
Yes.
- Let me see it. - No!
Then show me how it works.
I just wanna hear what I sound like.
You sound like a kid!
How did it go?
I think I passed.
Mr. Will!
Wait!
This is to be used for God's purposes.
Rachel!
Leave your brother alone.
Look under the bed.
I can't find it!
Lights out.
Rachel...
I know!
- It's a little small. - Really small.
It's mine.
Thanks for letting Rachel borrow it.
Remember to say your prayers.
Can you tell us a story?
It's getting late.
- Please, Mom. - Please!
Please.
Turn out the light.
Once upon a time,
there was a princess...
No!
Tell us the story.
I am.
No, the one about the Mustang.
What?
The one about the red Mustang.
Did I tell you that?
Ok, but this is a top secret story,
never to leave this room.
Everyone hold up their hands like this.
Now holding these peace signs up like this
and nodding your head,
you swear to never let this story
leave your mouth.
Once upon a time in a land
just on the other side of the red bluffs
of southern Utah,
a princess...
You might know her.
She might be in this room, she might be even telling you
this very story...
found
a Mustang.
Do you know what a Mustang is?
It's a horse.
It's a hot day.
And I was actually looking for someone that I had lost.
Someone whose birthday it was today.
Rachel!
That's right.
I looked and I looked...
It was very sad.
But then, I felt something.
A special kind of feeling
that leads you to a specific direction.
And then, I found it!
A red Mustang.
And I tried to pet it but it wouldn't let me.
But I had a strong feeling that
this horse would lead me to Rachel.
I felt the spirit from the tips of my toes go up my leg,
go out of my kneecaps, up up to my skull,
and back through my hair.
And you all know where that lead me, right?
I felt something...
A Mustang!
Red Mustang...
You can answer that better than me.
I think you can...
Alright, let's continue with all seriousness, shall we?

Rachel?
What are you doing?
Where is it?
Where is it? Give me it!
Where did you put it?
- Give me it! - No it's mine.
Stop it! You're gonna get us in trouble.
- No! - Stop it!
Stop it! Give me it.
What's going on in here?
Let's go.
Did anything happen that you didn't want to happen?
Did Mr. Will do anything to you?
What? No!
He didn't.
Are you being honest with me?
He didn't do anything.
(Opening cassette player.)
Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
Hello?
Hello.
Hello, hello, hello.
Hello?
It works!
This is Rachel Angela McKnight.
Born May 8th 1996.
15 years old.
A few weeks ago, I experienced a miracle.
An angelic voice came onto me,
and when I heard it,
I was troubled.
And the angel said unto her: "Fear not, Mary,
"for thou has found favor in the Lord.
"Behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb
and bring forth a son.
"And His name shall be..."
Jesus.
Then said Mary unto the angel:
"How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
And the angel answered:
"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee
"and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee.
"Therefore, that holy thing which shall be born of thee
"shall be called the Son of God."
The only voice I heard was from a song on a tape.
Could it be that He did this to me?
This wonderful blessing of heavenly life.
The voice that sang those words of wonder and spirit...
"Don't leave me hanging on the telephone"
Hey.
Is He the one who filled me with this Jesus baby?
Amen.
Tell Rachel to come meet me here, OK?
Yes, ma'am.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Are you storing up for an apocalypse?
I just...
I haven't gotten it for a while.
How much of a while?
- Months. - It's normal.
It comes and goes at your age.
You know how, sometimes...
When you don't get it for a while,
it means you're pregnant?
I think that's what it is.
I'm so relieved, I thought you would be mad.
A few months ago...
When I was in the cellar, I found that blue tape
and something happened, I think...
I think God got me pregnant through that blue tape.
Go get in the truck.
I need the keys.
Is everything alright?
Women troubles.
- Mom, I really want to explain. - No, this is all my fault.
I shouldn't have been filling your head up
with all those stories.
- No! - Let's not discuss it anymore.
Until we know for sure.
It's been ten minutes.
Alright.
It's a miracle!
The role of a mother is a large one to take on.
In my case,
it wasn't a choice.
I heard Mom say that
she was surprised every time.
But I'm convinced that the role of a mother
cannot be fulfilled without a father.
The truth is the man on the tape recorder did this.
God's vessel,
the tape deck.
Let us start with a prayer, Rachel.
Will you lead it?
Dear Heavenly Father,
we are thankful for this opportunity
for a last-minute interview
to understand Thy mysterious ways.
We are thankful for
tape recorders and...
and telephones.
Please, please give us a good feeling
and a spirit of understanding in the name of Jesus Christ...
Amen.
- Amen. - Amen.
Rachel, it has come to my attention
that you are with child.
Is that true?
Well then, I have contacted Ben Brooksby.
His son, Elijah Brooksby,
has agreed to marry you tomorrow night.
What?
Rachel, whoever did this to you
is obviously unfit to be the father of your child.
Untrue.
Rachel, you have committed sin.
I didn't sin.
Maybe, I listened to something that I wasn't supposed to.
And then...
Then I'm pregnant.
A few months ago,
I found a tape in the cellar with music on it
and I could feel the spirit
from the tip of my toes up through my head.
Dad, it was just like Mary, like in your lesson!
I found Rachel and Mr. Will with the tape
engaged in activities.
Rachel, will you stand up
and Mr. Will, will you sit down, please?
Mr. Will, did you get Rachel pregnant?
- No. - He didn't.
We are not speaking to you now, Rachel,
we're speaking with Mr. Will.
I did not do it.
You leave me with no choice.
Tomorrow, Mr. Will, you will leave this family
and Rachel, you will marry Elijah Brooksby.
Mom, you know we didn't do anything.
To bed.
Elijah Brooksby?
Marriage to Elijah Brooksby?
I don't even have to ask God to know that's not right.
It's a horse...
(Baby crying.)
Your big toes,
big as my big nose...
So the story goes...
Settle down...
Halleluyah.
Mom, wake up!
- Mom! - Stop!
Rachel!
Now, Rachel, stop right there!
Rachel, come back!
Alright, come on now honey, open the truck.
No, do not... You are not doing that.
Pull right over right now, Rachel!
Good evening friends and family,
I accelerate down the road
I have not yet traversed.
I travel beyond the red bluffs
of a home I can not again call my home...
In search of the father of my holy child,
the man who sings on the cassette tape.
I'm here.

In the beginning was the word.
And the word was with God.
And the word was God.
In Him was life.
And the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness.
And the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God.
He was not the light,
but came to bear witness of the light.
I'm looking for a guy who plays the guitar.
Maybe a little bit younger than yourself.
Alright.
There's a venue down there where the kids go for music.
Alright?
Hello, sir.
Wow, this is the first time
I've ever met anyone like you before.
However, can I go inside?
You gotta be 18.
Sir, I've never been inside of a beauty bar before.
Stay the fuck out!
I deserved that.
That's my girlfriend.
Where the fuck have you been?
Thanks for letting us play, man.
Wait, so we can't stay for the other band?
What the fuck?
We have every right to listen to the other bands.
Can you even hear the other bands?
Alright.
Next time.
Hey, Cheese is here.
Where are you guys heading to?
Do you wanna come?
John, she wants to have my babies.
She wants to what?
Yeah, they'll only be a little deaf.
- Just a little bit deaf. - I think those are good odds.
Are you some sort of prairie girl?
Oi, let's shag ass already!
Actually, I just lost some of my hearing,
it's pretty sexy though, right?
Not into it?
Is it OK if I go with you?
Sure.
But is the prairie guy coming with you?
- Let's go. - What are you doing here?
We're going home and you're confessing to Dad.
Just take the truck keys and leave.
Rachel, in case you don't remember
I got kicked out because you sinned.
I have a rifle behind my bed,
you guys can solve that little quarrel
back at my place.
Just take the truck keys and leave.
I'm not leaving without a confession.
- Get the fuck out man. - Oh, shit!
Are you really gonna stick with the virgin Mary thing?
I told you I wasn't going to let you drive.
Are they coming? What are we doing?
Close the fucking door.
Piece of shit! That was close.
You are... all alright.
I wanted to make sure you were real.
You fuckers rigged my wheel again? God!
That's right, fuckers...
Say it!
We don't swear.
Alright.
I'll bet you'll be swearing sooner or later.
Do you promise you'll confess?
I told you the truth, Mr. Will.
Vain.
Do you think I'm pretty?
Here it is. You like it?
Sit down.
I didn't catch your name.
Mr. Will.
Mr. Will?
Hello Mr. Will, I'm Mr. Clyde.
You just call me Clyde.
Or Master.
You know what, you call me Master.
I won't shoot, I promise.
Hi!
Clyde, put the gun away!
Hi cutie, can you watch her for me?
Oh my god!
Are you from the prairie?
No, I'm from Utah.
Where's that?
Alright, let's get out of this hellhole.
You guys wanna play?
Hey!
Hey.
When do you guys play? I really like rock 'n roll.
We're kind of hiatusing right now.
Whatever, are you guys playing tomorrow?
Oh yeah.
You guys can come if you want.
Later.
Later, man.
Hold up your fingers.
How it works, is it's called "Never have I ever"...
So you would say for example
"Never have I ever been to jail."
And he puts one down because he's been to jail.
What happened?
I shot my mom's dog and she pressed charges.
They kicked me out, but it's cool.
- That's terrible. - Alright...
If you're gonna play that shit...
"Never have I ever" had a period.
- Clyde... - That's so stupid.
So stupid.
Estúpido.
OK, my turn.
"Never have I ever" had a hamburger.
Oh man, you're gonna kill us at this game.
I wanna try one, I'm actually pretty hungry.
"Never have I ever" been to Mexico.
"Never have I ever" been pregnant.
Clyde, stop doing gender-specific ones.
Are you pregnant?
She's pregnant.
Yeah, I'm sort of pregnant...
I'm looking for the dad, so it's fine.
I didn't actually do anything wrong.
So you're a pure slut?
Don't be a dick!
Don't listen to him.
OK.
"Never have I ever" spoken on a cellular phone.
I got one. Where's my phone?
Didn't you say you were pregnant?
All girls are pregnant. We're all pregnant.
What does that even mean? Here.
- Hold it to your ear. - OK.
Call her. You call her.
Hello?
This is Rachel. Can you hear me?
Check the microphone, testing.
One, two, three. Hello?
Testing, testing, one, two, three.
Can you hear me?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh, I like that one.
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
It's beeping!
Press the green button. Green.
Press play.
Hey.
- Hey. - You wanna get loaded later?
Yes.
- Yeah. Loaded. - Come to my room then.
Alright, lates.
Day One.
Arrived in Electric Paradise: Las Vegas.
I met a group of people.
Clyde and...
and some other girls
taking me in.
Clyde is...
perhaps the spawn
of Satan.
Then there's Johnny.
Hello.
Hey.
You want something to drink?
No, thanks.
Cool, there's pizza, if you want some.
Thanks.
I mean, cool.
Would you ever want to marry me?
What was that?
Would you ever wanna...
go out some time...
and show me the city or something cool.
That's what you guys say, right?
"Cool."
Just... Just...
Let me know when...
I mean...
Sure.
You wanna borrow some clothes?
No, no thanks.
You look crazy.
Thank you.
Put these on at least.
You'll get wrinkles if you squint that hard.
I accept.
You look ridiculous.
Thank you.
- Are you ready? - For what?
I'm leaving.
I need your confession.
You guys planting gardens today or are you coming?
- She's not going. - Yes, I am.
If I were you, man,
I would watch this girl's every move.
Girls like this
can't be trusted.
I'll come back, I promise.
How's everyone feeling tonight?
Alright, this song is called "Zombie."
I have to pee so much.
Perhaps over time...
music, styles of music changed.
I'm not quite sure if
what Johnny plays is actually music.
Hi, I'm Kevin.
I'm ready to give you a confession.
I want you to leave.
Isn't that what you want?
I'll make up anything. Just tell me what you want!
I want the truth, recorded over the contents of the blue tape.
Tonight.
I don't know, man.
I could try forever.
- Sorry, man. - Pardon me.
Good show.
Thanks.
Can we talk about your music? It's urgent.
Well, you know it's not satanic or anything.
I sing about important stuff,
like political stuff, comic stuff, etc.
Well, cool.
Can we talk over there?
What do you wanna talk about?
Something music related.
Yeah, sure.
I was really into it because...
my older brother was into like...
Fugazi and shit like that.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah.
If you have your left foot forward,
it's regular.
The other way round is goofy.
Are you regular or goofy?
What's that?
Are you regular or goofy?
Goofy.
You're probably regular.
So you're Rachel's brother?
Not intentionally.
Why are you guys running?
She got pregnant and my dad has arranged a marriage.
She got down with her boyfriend.
She doesn't have a boyfriend.
You have a crush on her?
What's a crush?
- Did you fuck your sister? - No!
Well, who did?
Don't know. She won't say.
Sounds like a potiental "Lifetime for Women" film.
You got a guess?
No.
None.
Did your dad do it?
- Did your dad fuck your sister? - Shut up!
She wants a husband now
or a boyfriend to take care of her?
Yeah.
Yeah, and...
I just learned power chords and that was it.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Did you ever play a song about the telephone?
Definitely Nintendo
and Wolfenstein.
Maybe telephones.
'Cause I'm looking for someone that...
sings a song about the telephone.
And...
Dude, are you alright?
I don't see him. Is he down there?
That sucks.
What happened? I thought you were watching him.
I'm not his fucking babysitter.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
One, two, three...
I'm not taking them.
Please Mr. Will, just take them. Don't be such a martyr.
I'm not like you! I don't take drugs!
Swallow, swallow.
Gonna try and reset your arm okay?
Have you guys noticed the beautiful women out here?
There are no sweet spirits like there are at home.
That's what we call the ugly girls.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah!
Is he OK?
The drugs are working.
Dad would have such a fit if he saw me like this.
I'd be kicked out of the colony for sure.
You are out of the colony.
Well, no!
I'm going back tomorrow.
You will tell me who you've sexed!
Yeah!
Are you guys speaking Japanese?
You guys are speaking Japanese.
You know I don't like you, right?
Neither does Johnny.
Why would you say that?
You're knocked up.
What?
You're pregnant.
You're...
damaged goods.
She's had an immaculate conception.
She's carrying the son of God.
That little fucker.
Told you he'd say "fucker."
Can I show you something?
♪ I heard your mother, now she's going out the door ♪
♪ Did she go to work or just go to the store? ♪
♪ All those things she said, I told you to ignore. ♪
♪ Oh, why can't we talk again? ♪
- Can you tell?
♪ Don't leave me hanging..." ♪
It's probably an older band.
Johnny didn't sing this.
You think this got you pregnant?
With the son of God?
Yes.
(Sobbing.)
Are you OK?
We'll find the guy.
If that's what you want.
That's what you want, right?
Crazy girl.
You don't believe me.
No, I don't believe you.
Why don't you just...
marry me?
As a backup, you know?
In case we don't find this guy.
But...
you're not the guy on the tape.
Well...
If we find him,
you can leave me.
You would do that?
Yeah.
OK.
- OK? - Yeah.
We're married!
Yeah?
Just like that?
Yeah.
Do we say "I love you"?
No.
Maybe one day.
Yeah, maybe.
Don't tell Mr. Will...
OK?
OK.
You know, I...
I won't touch you...
like that.
If you don't want it.
Thank you.
She's hungry.
She's gotta feed our baby. Go feed her baby.
Let's all skip, let's skip! Come on, skip!
Shut the fuck up.
- We'll get you some food. - Yeah, go get some food.
- It's so big. - We'll wait here.
Are they going inside?
- Let's hide! - Why are we hiding?
'Cause we're not supposed to be here.
We're not?
Are they home?
They're probably sleeping.
Is it OK coming in like this?
Yeah, as long as they don't know, it's fine.
Are these yours?
No.
I really don't think I should.
Can we live here?
No.
We'll live by the sea.
- Shall we go over the wall? - I mean, I guess so.
- It's really high! - Wow, it is high.
You do it. One... Ahh!
Ahh! Ow!
I can't do it.
- We should go. - Stay here, I'll be right back.
Oh, wow...
Hello, operator.
I'd like to report an intruder at 1533 Windhaven Circle.
Yes.
Yes, I will.
I'm sorry.
Young lady! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
- Dad! - Stop!
It's OK. Rachel, go!
It's OK, they're OK.
Go, go, go!
Jesus.
Watch your hand, watch your hand.
Turn around here, come on up.
My shoes...
Anything you say can and will be used against you
in a court of law.
Get in there.
(Phone ringing.)
Once upon a time, in a land,
just on the other side of the red bluffs...
A red Mustang
♪ Oh, I can't control myself ♪
♪ Don't leave me hanging on the telephone ♪
And you all know where that lead me, right?
Is that girl pregnant?
Yeah.
You didn't get that poor girl pregnant,
did you?
She had an immaculate conception.
I'm just...
trying to help her out.
Clyde, I just saved your ass from going to jail again.
Please don't give me that.
Where have you been?
Nowhere.
Fine, you have to stay here.
No.
Well, it's either here or it's juvenile hall.
It's all the same to me, so...
Face to your left.
Do you have any form of ID?
Driver's license?
Social Security number?
No.
Can I help you?
Yes, hi, I'm Rachel Angela McKnight.
- I'm 15... - Hi.
I was looking over there at your vehicle and...
I was just wondering if...
Are you thirsty?
Is she cute?
She's asking about your car, I think she wants to buy it.
Who is she?
Do you recognize me?
I can't say that I do.
This, I recognize.
Well, I'm pregnant...
So whatever you did, worked.
Did you sing on that tape?
Yeah.
Me and an old girlfriend...
Look, I'm really sorry.
I don't have any way of helping you out...
- You know, financially... - What?
You've got your mama's eyes.
The rest sort of looks like me. Sorry about that.
Oh shit!
I don't even know your name.
Rachel.
That's a beautiful name.
Rachie.
Just Rachel.
OK.
I'm looking for the man who sings on that tape.
Well, you found him.
Guess it's not exactly what you're looking for, though?
Did you know my mother well?
I loved her.
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If I don't answer... Let's try that again.
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I gotta interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice accross the line gives me a strange sensation
Instead of finding the father of the son of God,
I found my actual father.
(Phone ringing.)
Hello?
Rachel?
Mr. Will?
Where's Snow?
I don't know. Where are you?
Juvenile Hall.
Bye.
- It was nice meeting you. - You too.
So, where are you going?
My brother is in Juvenile Hall, so...
I should get there too.
Yeah.
Ok.
- Bye. - Bye.
I like your cast.
Did you...
Did you pick blue or did they pick it?
What should I do?
I don't know.
Should I...
Should I go back?
I don't know.
I'll...
I'll confess.
On this tape, for the record.
They won't let me back now.
Do you want to go back?
Yes!
Do you?
Yes.
Dear Clyde,
when I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child.
But then I grew up, and I put away childish things.
For it is better, if the will of God be so,
that I suffer for well-doing.
Rachel.
It's the best thing.
They agreed to it already.
If I do it, will you let Mr. Will come back home?
No.
I'm sorry, Rachel.
And behold, Mary was a spouse to Joseph.
But before they came together, she was found with child.
Her husband, being a just man,
and not willing to make her a public example
put her away privately.
While he thought on these things,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
saying: "Joseph, fear not,
"for that which is conceived in her
"is of God."
I'm looking for my nephew.
Kind of dirty blonde hair...
Face like an angel.
Who are you?
A family friend.
Tell me who you are.
Well, I was looking for your sister.
Why?
I was going to give her a ride home.
She's already home.
Yeah?
Do you want a ride?
That's her van!
That's her boyfriend.
Shit! She's got a boyfriend?
Hey.
Who are you?
I'm Rachel's dad.
Fucking parents, man.
Oh God, if you're there,
get me the hell out of this.
Make Clyde care.
Just this once.
Yours truly, Rachel Angela McKnight, 15.
For the beauty of the earth.
For the beauty of the skies.
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Lord of all, to thee we raise.
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Heavenly Father, we thank you
for the opportunity to witness this glorious union
between Rachel Angela
and the righteous and diligent Elijah Brooksby.
What are we doing?
Yeah, we should've planned this.
Should we go?
I should probably say something.
Yeah, it's only right.
Hello.
Hi.
This is my husband, Clyde.
It's good to meet you.
You guys look so much alike.
Rachel...
Your mother and I...
we're so worried about you.
No one's gonna judge you

♪ Oh why can't we talk again? ♪
