Under the Banner of Heaven episode 4 promo: The debate of the church
The promo for the upcoming episode of Under the Banner of Heaven sees Jeff Pyre in a further compromising position, this time from the Church. The story of the show, which is adapted from Jon Krakauer’s non-fiction novel of the same name, is predominantly based on real events surrounding the Mormon community. Hence, it was only a matter of time before the Church stepped in.
The synopsis for the upcoming episode reads:
"The investigation intensifies after Pyre uncovers details of the Lafferty family's fundamentalist beliefs, sparking a search for missing Lafferty brothers, Ron and Dan, and putting Pyre at odds with his own church leaders."
The belief system is a major problem for both the Church and the Lafferty family. Over the past three episodes, the slow revelation of their belief system has been a crucial part of the tale. This episode will follow suit.
Moreover, the previous episodes each dealt with the arrest and interrogation of one of the Lafferty brothers. This episode will see Detective Pyre and Detective Bill Taba (Gil Birmingham) search for the remaining two brothers, Ron Lafferty (Sam Worthington) and Dan Lafferty (Wyatt Russell).
Courtney Hunt worked as a director for the upcoming episode of the show with a script from Gina Welch.
When will the upcoming episode of Under the Banner of Heaven air?
The upcoming episode of the true-crime miniseries will drop on May 12, 2022, on Hulu at 12.00 AM ET. There will be three more episodes of the show after this, dropping every subsequent Thursday.
