[exhales sharply]

[whistling]

[whistling continues]

[Aden whispering] Mom.

This is stupid.

Look, four nights.

We get in, we pack,

we're out Monday.

[Aden sighs]

[sighs]

We're four days away from

putting this whole place

behind us for good.

-[engine starts]

-[car beeps]

Besides...

Liz'll be there.

If you get sick of us,

at least you'll have

somebody your own age

to be moody with.

Great. Just great.

[exhales]

-Aden.

-What?!

[signal ticking]

Okay.

[crow cawing]

[somber music playing]

[rain pattering]

[thunder rumbling]

[echoing] Aden, baby.

It's gonna be okay.

[heartbeat thumping]

Can you go any faster?

[Maddy] It's not gonna

do us any good

if I drive off the road.

Everything's gonna be all right.

You're safe now.

[car horn honking]

[eerie music playing]

[insects buzzing]

Spread your legs.

[Sarah] Hey.

Hey, hey!

Hey!

[bird cawing]

[Sarah] Aden, no, don't

touch that. Don't touch that!

-[Aden] Whoa, whoa.

-[Sarah] Don't touch that.

[Aden laughs] Really, Mom?

It's just a gift basket.

-[Sarah] Right.

-[Aden] Come on.

People give stuff to folks

that are grieving.

[Sarah] All right, just-- Okay.

Just let me take care of it.

Get inside.

[Aden scoffs]

[wings flapping]

[shaky breaths echoing]

[light bulb buzzing]

[shuffling]

Aden?

[eerie music playing]

[Sarah] Hey!

-[glass shatters]

-You ready for dinner?

[Aden] Jesus, Mom.

-[Aden] f*ck!

-Jesus, Aden, are you okay?

Just get out of here, just--

just leave me alone, please.

Okay. Just try

and take a deep breath.

All right, baby,

now name five things

you can see in the room, okay?

[panting] Um...

table.

Um, candle holder.

[panting quickens]

[whimpers] My dead f*cking dad!

Hey, hey, hey! Baby, come here.

Good job.

Okay, breathe, breathe.

Hey, look at me. Look at me.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

I'm right here, okay?

I'm sorry.

[Aden crying]

[Sarah]

Hey, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

[crickets chirping]

[owl hooting]

[crickets chirping]

[chirping grows louder]

[door creaking]

[engine rumbling]

[Aden] I remember this one.

This was really good.

-[Sarah] Hmm?

-Hey.

Can you--

can you make this tonight?

-Earth to Mom?

-Uh, yeah.

I think so.

[chuckles] Cool.

[ominous music playing]

[phone ringing]

-[Sarah] Hello?

-[Rachel] Hey.

I think we took a wrong turn

at the tractor pool.

-[Sarah chuckles]

-Can you meet us in town?

Of course.

I'll meet you at the diner.

[Rachel] Which diner?

There's only one.

Aden?

[Aden] Yeah?

I'm headed into town.

Do you wanna come?

[Aden] I'm good.

[Sarah]

Okay, I'll bring back lunch.

Be safe.

[country music playing on radio]

[customers chatting, laughing]

[teens giggling]

[high-pitched ringing,

audio cuts out]

-[ringing stops]

-[Jordan] Hey, Sarah.

[Sarah exclaims] Oh!

[Jordan] So, is cow-tipping

a favorite pastime around here?

Mama, you know you can't

actually tip a cow, right?

But we can tip our waitress.

What do you want,

daughter of mine?

The menu hasn't changed much.

I could probably

recommend something.

-[table thuds]

-[Liam clears throat]

Yep. No more wobble.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-[Liam] Where's Aden?

-[Sarah] Back at the house.

[Sarah]

So you're getting crickets

and your daughter's eating ants?

[Rachel]

Sour cream and onion crickets.

-[Sarah] Oh, my God, no!

-[Rachel] They're pretty good.

[Sarah] You're sick!

[Liz chuckles]

[engine humming]

[engine stops]

[sniffs, exhales] Fresh.

[Rachel] Really?

Well, I expected it

to be a little more farm-y.

-Oh, you got a little, uh--

-What?

Is it a tick?

Is it-- What is it?

[Rachel] Oh. [exclaims]

[all laughing]

Hey.

Why don't you take

your stuff upstairs, guys,

and there's a picnic table

in the back

where we can eat,

and I will get us some wine.

Oh, did I forget to mention

there's no service?

Just a couple of days.

You'll be fine.

[man] He sacrificed

everything for you

so you could become a man.

I know this has

been hard on you.

Hey, hey, hey!

What are you doing?

-Why are you talking to him?

-Oh, hello, Sarah--

No, no.

You don't get to talk to me.

-[man] Sarah, I--

-Stop. You can't be here.

-He was just helping me--

-Aden!

-[man] I only want--

-Now please leave!

-I only wanted to--

-[Sarah] Stop!

I asked you to leave.

Now get off my land.

You mean... his land?

Leave us alone.

And if I ever

see you here again--

-Mom!

-Aden, inside! Now.

It's all right, Aden.

We can talk later.

Shut your mouth.

You shut your mouth right now!

She told you to leave.

[tense music playing]

Who was that?

[Sarah] Aden?

Aden.

Talk to me.

He told me.

About Dad.

[somber music playing]

[Aden crying]

[scoffs]

Your father...

Josef...

I thought he loved you.

[sobbing]

I thought he loved me.

And I was wrong.

I'm sorry. [sighs]

[Aden crying]

He wasn't a good person.

Am I?

Am I a good person?

Of course you are!

[Sarah sniffling]

[Liam grunts] I'm hurting, doc.

-What do you got for me?

-[Rachel] No, uh-uh.

Your feelings are getting

nowhere near my notepad.

I would never.

Jordan, your wife is

as compassionate as always.

-Damn right.

-Mm-hmm.

Hey, so, uh, how's Aden doing?

[Sarah] I wish I knew.

I'm gonna go

get us some more wine.

Sarah, hold up.

We should really get to work.

Hey, I wouldn't

say no to more wine.

Wine she found in exchange

for days of cleaning.

-[Jordan] Babe.

-[Liam] Hey, come on.

It feels like

I'm back in the Navy.

Liam, you were an officer.

The only thing

you had to keep clean

were those fancy rank boards

and your choker whites.

Well, can we, like,

go look for Aden or something?

He'll be back when he's ready.

[Rachel] Well, we all know

what boys like to do

in the woods.

-[Liz] Gross.

-[Jordan] Yes, gross.

[Rachel] What? It's natural.

[Aden] What's natural?

["Shadows" by

Swagger Jack playing]

[sighs]

Honey, I hardly knew you

Or what you ever

saw in me at all



[Liz] Mom, look at this.

Honey, I can't say

I blame you

Paper-thin walls

are bound to fall

Still, I wish

it was all different

You wouldn't

know me now at all

Here lie these shadows

Here lies your ghost

Here lie these shadows

[all laughing, grunting]

Here lies your ghost

[Liam] One, two, three!

Oh, my God, it's coming,

it's coming, it's coming!

[wood cracking]

[clattering]

[exclaiming]

-Holy sh*t.

-We did it.

[indistinct chatter]

[Rachel] We got that down!

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for giving

my moms your room.

[Aden] Yeah. Course.

Who was that old dude

you were talking to?

Uh...

he...

he was a friend of my dad's.

You mean like

one of the crazy ones

our parents think we can't

hear them talking about?

They're not crazy!

Okay, calm down.

I'm just saying

the adults talk like they are.

They were our family.

[Liz] Really?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

Taking a break?

I've earned it.

Can I have one?

A break?

Or a drink?



[liquid pouring]

-Just don't tell Aden.

-I think he knows you drink.

Not whiskey straight,

no, he does not.

Hmm. Our little secret.



So, Aden,

anything interesting

out in the woods?

[Aden] I guess.

Like what?

Hmm. Well, there was a stream.

Um... oh, the ring of trees.

[Aden scoffs]

I don't know. Nature.

He's always loved being outside.

[Aden] Yeah,

not where we live now.

[Liz] Why not?

-Too good for city life?

-Liz!

It's just... dirty.

This place is dirty.

-Not when Dad was here.

-[Sarah] Aden.

What?

Come on. I wasn't that young

when we left.

I remember

how things used to be.

It sounds like your dad

ran a pretty tight ship.

Yeah, I mean, he did, but...

he always made time

to spend with the family.

[cutlery clanks loudly]

[Sarah] I was the one

who kept our house.

[Aden] Mom, I...

I better take care

of these dishes.



[knocking on door frame]

I can dry?

[scoffs]

[water running]

[crickets chirping]

[tense music playing]

[leaves crunching]

[shaky sigh]

So.

Yeah?

Didn't see you at my party.

Party?

I didn't invite you. [chuckles]

I should have.

I'll make sure

you know about the next one.

[clears throat] Thanks.

I don't, um...

I'm not big on parties.

Why?

[Liz] Well,

anyways,

it was a pretty lame party.

Awful, really.

[Aden] Why?

There was a boy

I wanted to come,

but didn't.

-Really?

-[Liz] Yeah.

Not you, stupid. [laughs]

Yeah.

[Aden coughs, sniffles]

And moms came back early.

Kind of ruined the whole thing.

Not really selling

the whole party thing.

[Liz chuckles]

How about...

if I ever throw a party...

you can be the guest of honor.

All right, cool. [chuckles]

Maybe you could

have it out here.

Kind of pretty.

[shaky breath echoing]

[animal screeches in distance]

[crickets chirping]

[shaky breath echoing]

[engine whirring]

[exhales]

What the hell?

Do you have any idea

what f*cking time it is?

k*ll that f*cking engine before

I get up there

and do it for you!

Come on, you crazy assh*le!

You hick bastard!

You ought to see a real machine.

I got one out front!

[Liam continues

shouting indistinctly]

[Liz] Aden, Aden.

Wake up, wake up.

What the--

Whoa, whoa, what's going on?

[Liz] You have to see this.

[Liz chuckles]

He really is an ape.

Yes, he is.

-[both laugh]

-[footsteps approaching]

[Sarah] Hey, guys,

breakfast is gonna be ready

in just a-- Aden!

Put a shirt on!

Mom...

[sighs]

Oh, Liz, um,

would you like to help me, um,

come fix up some breakfast?

Sure.

[podcaster] This is a case

that has a lot of events,

but it's really

a crime of revenge.

-It all came...

-Hey.

-You're up early.

-I've been up for a while.

This one's your dad, yeah?

Do you wanna keep it?

I'm gonna go get a shirt.

[podcaster] Circumstances have

immediately indicated to us

that something else

was happening.

[eerie music playing]

[Sarah] I'll have you know,

I make an amazing cup of coffee

and an even better Bloody Mary.

[Liz] Just because

you put pickles in it

does not make it food.

-[all laughing]

-No, no she's right.

[overlapping chatter]



Hey. So, last night.

Dinner was weird, right?

[Rachel]

It's none of our business.

-Come on, she's our friend.

-[Rachel] Exactly.

So if she wanted

to talk about it,

she'd tell us.

We're just here

to help her clean her house.

They just really seem

to be having a hard time.

Yeah, I can't imagine

what a toll this must be

taking on their family.

Really digging

deep there, Rachel.

You know,

you don't have to be so...

clinical about this.

I have been perfectly

helpful this weekend.

Right, but you just

have to make sure

I know you're unhappy about it.

I could've come by myself.

I would never

let you do this alone.

But of course I'm not happy

about it. Why would I be?

It's a beautiful weekend that we

could be spending as a family,

and I'm stuck here with a sulky

daughter and a preoccupied wife.

And I have to watch Liam

puppy around after Sarah,

who doesn't have time in her

life for another damaged man.

It's-- it's--

[screams]

-What?

-There's a man outside.

-[Jordan] Was it Liam?

-[Liam] Is everyone okay?

We're fine.

Just take a break, babe.

And we'll finish up in here.

[engine rumbling]

[eerie music playing]

[Liz] Whoa.

Aden, come look at this.

-[Aden] Oh!

-Are those real?

[Aden] I was wondering

where these went.

Is it-- is it locked?

-Oh-ho-ho-ho!

-[Jordan] Hell no.

Mama!

Aw, Jordan, come on. Be cool.

How 'bout we dust this off and

teach these kids how to sh**t?

It'll be just like

g*n call day on the ship.

And afterwards

I'll take 'em to town

and get rid of 'em

at the pawn shop.

[Jordan sighs]

All right. Okay.

You know, sometimes

you're actually pretty cool.

[Liz chuckles]

Sure. I'm teaching them,

but you're the cool one.

Always.



[suspenseful music playing]

He's really good at... stapling.

[chuckles]

[Liam sighs]

[Liam] May I?

After you.

[Liam] She's a bit more

seasoned than I'm used to.

sh**ting's just like

riding a bike.

[both snickering]

[Liam exhales]

[g*nsh*t pops]

Sights must be off,

or something.

-Yeah. Sights are off.

-[both snicker]

[Liam exhales]

-[g*nsh*t pops]

-[Liz snickering]

[exhales]

[Liz] You got this.

[Liz giggling]

-[g*nsh*t pops]

-[Aden chuckles]

[Liam groans]

So, I'm on the paper.

-Mm-hmm.

-[both laughing]

[Liam] What?

You think you can do better?

Hey, hey, I didn't say that.

[Liam] Come on, big sh**t.

Let's see what you got.



[exhales slowly]

[g*nshots popping]

[Aden speaks indistinctly]

That's weird.

Sights seem fine to me.

[both snickering]

-[Jordan laughs]

-Don't say it.

-You sh**t...

-Shut up!

-...just like an officer.

-Don't.

[cackles] Oh, my God.

[tense music playing]

[laugh echoing]

[music intensifies]

He never asked me

if I could sh**t.

He's trying to bond with you.

[sighs] Great.

I mean, he didn't do

a very good job,

but at least you'd know

who'd win in a fight.

[stream rushing]

[both laugh]

Wanna see something cool?

Sure.

[wings flapping]

[muffled rock music playing]

[music stops]

-Surprise!

-Maddy.

[Maddy] Can't I surprise

my big sister?

Of course you can.

[Maddy] Because you sure

surprised me by coming here.

It's complicated.

Seems pretty simple.

Explain it to me.

Sarah, have you seen Liz--

Oh, hello, Madelyn.

Hi, Rachel.

[nature din]

[mysterious music playing]

What is it?

It's old.

Duh. You found this place?

[Aden] Years ago.

Before we left.

[Liz] Does your mom

know about this?

I don't know. Is it safe?

Hmm.

Seems fine to me.

Come on. Don't be scared.

[Liz] All right.

Madelyn. Nice of you to join us.

Eat sh*t, Liam.

How did you let this happen?

Me? She's your sister.

Yeah, don't I f*cking know it.

Where the hell is Aden?

[Liz] Why are you always

missing school?

[nature din]

[Aden] I don't want

people to talk.

[Liz] Nobody talks about you.

I won't tell anyone.

[Aden] I see someone.

Like a shrink?

Kinda.

[eerie music playing]

[Liz] Wanna know a secret?

Sure.

I see one, too.

Why?

[calming music playing]

[Liz chuckles]

I hate it.

It makes me feel like there's...

something wrong with me.

Aden, that's not--

There's nothing wrong with you.

[wind howling]

[Aden] My dad

used to tell me a story.

That if you had a weakness...

a sin...

that you had to live with...

it wasn't always your fault.

It was separate from you.

And it could be removed...

if someone

would take it from you.

It might be willing,

but it didn't have to be.

It could be an animal,

it could be...

someone else.

You could give them your sin.

Somehow.

Give me my sin again. [chuckles]

Yeah, it's...

not quite Romeo and Juliet.



This...

sin eater...

would absolve you

of whatever you did.

Then they would be sacrificed...

protecting you

from your mistakes

in this world...

and the world to come.

[music swells, stops]

[Sarah] Can I get

a pair of hands in here?

Can you grab me the paprika?

I thought you didn't want

anything to do with him.

-I don't, I just--

-Hmm?

Aden asked for one

of the meals in there.

So what?

Just leave it be, Maddy.

[Maddy] Frankly, Sarah, no.

I didn't help you

escape this place

just for you to come back.

Josef is gone...

and I know what I'm doing.

Sarah, do you remember

what you were like

when I took you in?

Yes, you never let me forget it.

Then why?

Why didn't you let me come?

-Everybody else is here--

-Because I didn't want

my little sister swooping in

to take care of me again.

I just don't understand.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

[sighs] I need the money.

-I can lend you money.

-[Sarah] You don't--

you don't get it.

I know that

you think that you do,

but you don't know

what it was like.

Nobody knows what it was like.

Ah! I don't even know

what it was like.

I can't remember everything

and I just...

I just want to know

what happened to me here.

-Bad sh*t.

-Wow! Thanks, Maddy.

That's really helpful.

You have a child.

Stop acting like one.

[Aden] Mom?

Is that Aunt Madelyn's car?

Aden!

Aunt Madelyn.

I thought you couldn't make it.

I pulled some strings at work

as soon as I found out

you guys were here.

I guess your mom just

couldn't wait to get started.

Aden, why don't you take

your aunt's bag upstairs?

She'll stay in my room.

-Why not?

-Lead the way, kiddo.

What was that?

So, did you get all those g*ns

from the basement pawned?

Yep, I did.

Oh, you didn't want to

take one home to practice?

No.

Does everybody have

something to drink?

Mm-hmm.

[Maddy] So, after dinner...

are we gonna take

a couple more loads out?

I was thinking

that we might have a fire.

-[Maddy] I like it.

-[murmuring]

Great.

[Maddy] You deserve a break.

[Sarah] Lighten up, Madelyn.

Yeah, you just got here.

Whose fault is that?

[tense music playing]

Sarah, this is a lot of meat.

So, Aden.

Where'd you learn to sh**t?

Oh, um, Dad used to

take me hunting.

Why?

Would have been good to know,

like when I said

we'd teach you how to sh**t.

Yeah, great idea, by the way.

I didn't even touch one, Mom.

Yeah, Liam really

had a monopoly.

Hey, Mom, maybe he could show

you how to use that little

-pea sh**t in your purse.

-Aden.

Actually,

maybe I should show you.

-Dude, you're really pushing it.

-You're not my dad.

Yeah. I wouldn't let you

behave this way.

My father was ten times

the man you are.

Yeah, was.

[music stops]

[quiet dark music plays]

-[door bangs shut]

-Sarah, I am so sorry.

Go apologize to my son.

-Sarah, I didn't mean to--

-Please.

Yeah, of course.

[footsteps departing]

-[door handle clicks]

-[Maddy] Excuse me.

[door clicks shut]

[crickets chirping]

[fire crackling]

Come out here

to insult my family some more?

-[Liam] No, I'm sorry--

-No, you're not.

I just lost my temper.

No sh*t.

Can I be honest with you?

[Liam] Yeah.

[Aden] I don't need a new dad.

Every guy that comes around

and just sees us as these two...

broken things...

that they can protect...

and fix.

I don't need to be fixed.

Kid, I can't even fix myself.

And I'm not trying

to replace anyone.

Aden...

I really like your mom.

Can you give me a chance?

Why not?



-[Liam] Hello?

-[eerie tones]

[Jordan] So imagine, okay,

she scared

the bejesus out of me.

So there's Liz, four years old,

crying her eyes out.

She's covered

in spaghetti sauce.

I mean,

just dripping with the stuff,

all because she wanted to try

making a pasta smoothie.

-Mama.

-[Jordan laughs]

We're still cleaning it up.

And that is why

we don't cook anymore.

It would be nice

to do a few meals at home.

It would be nice

to have a refill.

[Liz] Nice. Real nice.

Moms of the year up in here.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

[conversation din]

[Jordan] Oh, my goodness.

[fire crackling]

[crickets chirping]

[Maddy] Is all quiet

on the western front?

-[Aden] We're facing south.

-Oh.

So, why aren't you at the fire?

[scoffs] You're not either.

I miss you, you know.

-What?

-[Maddy] You and your mom.

She shouldn't have

brought you here.

-It's fine.

-[Maddy] It's not.

I know you're putting on

this tough guy face,

but when your mom

was in recovery,

it was just you and me

for the whole year.

I know you, kiddo.

Mom...

she doesn't know

what she's doing.

She thinks that

getting rid of this place

is gonna fix everything.

But I know better.

Don't say that.

I care too much

about the both of you

to let you take this on alone.

I love you.

I know you do.

[melancholic orchestral

music playing]

[Liz chuckles]

[Aden sighs]

[crickets chirping]

[inaudible chatter

and laughter in distance]

We're gonna

have to carry them in

when they're finally done.

I know. [scoffs]

[inaudible chatter

and laughter continues]

You want some?

[chuckles] What?

Have some with me.

Well?

[exhales]

[Sarah laughs] Okay.

I-- I never did this before.

You were gonna sh**t a g*n

and you don't know

how to sh**t a bottle rocket?

I read the manual.

For the bottle rocket?

For the peashooter, stupid!

[laughs]

Do I need

to give you a safety glass?

No. Give me the lighter.

-Give me the lighter, please!

-No, no, no.

You hold the bottle.

You hold the bottle.

-Steady, steady.

-[Sarah gasps]

[Liam] All right,

don't point it at me.

-[Sarah] No.

-[Liam] All right.

[Sarah] Is it gonna-- [screams]

Wait.

[fireworks popping]

[Sarah screams]

-[Aden laughs] Oh!

-[Liz] Hey, hey, hey.

Ooh! Ooh!

-Told you, you can't do it.

I should've never doubted you.

Damn right!

[groans] I have to get a refill.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, are you drunk?

Good night. [chuckles]

[Rachel giggles]

Shh, we're good.

Shh, we're good.

Night. [laughs]

Do they still want--

Oh, yeah, go for it.

Go for it. [laughs]

[Aden scoffs]

[melancholic orchestral

music playing]

-[Sarah] Come on.

-[Liam] You sure?

[Sarah] Mm-hmm.

[both giggling]

[Sarah] Shh.

-Oh, sexy!

-Yeah?

[Sarah exclaims, chuckles]

-[basket thudding]

-[Liam] Oh, sorry.

[Sarah] No, no, it's okay.

This is what these freaks do.

They leave freaky baskets.

[Sarah sighs]

[Liam] This is, like...

a sh*t-ton of food.

I don't care what they do.

As long as

they stay away from Aden.

Who? The freaks your husband

used to hang out with?

[Sarah] Ex-husband.

Sarah.

He was-- he was part of this,

like, intense religious group.

Like a cult?

Beyond that. It was like a...

a generational mini-society...

that you're born into.

And they live here? [chuckles]

[Sarah] I was so young.

And before I knew it...

we were married.

Then my whole life

just became, um...

family.

Family.

And everything else was, uh...

choked out.

And they were all

that I had left, so...

[laughs] God.

Can you believe

I thought I was happy?

[groans]

I'm so freaking stupid.

[Liam] Hey, Sarah--

[Sarah] No, because if Aden

had never gotten sick--

Hey.

You did what you could.

You got out.

Then I came right back.

[sighs]

[eerie music playing]

[music intensifies]

[glass shattering]

[Sarah] Hey!

What-- what are you doing?

Are you insane?

Are you?

They brought this, didn't they?

-Stop it, Maddy.

-No, stop it.

[grunts] Hey!

When were you

gonna tell me about this?

It-- it's just some baskets.

Look, it's nothing threatening.

Sarah. What were you thinking?

I just-- it was an easy way

to keep everybody fed

this weekend.

I will go into town

and get us some f*cking pizza.

Stupid bitch.

[door shuts closed]

[chuckles]

So f*cking creepy.

One more day, babe.

Are you sure

you don't want to take him home?

At this point, I'm not sure

I want to take you home.

Look how cute he is.

[both giggling]

[birds chirping]

I'll be back soon.

[pensive orchestral

music playing]

[engine starts]

[engine revs]

[owl hoots]

[music continues]

[pop music playing over radio]

[police siren wailing]

[Maddy] Hi, Officer.

Got you going

pretty fast back there, ma'am.

Yeah, I'm not from around here.

Hmm. I bet.

License

and registration, please.

[Maddy] Yeah, of course.

[footsteps approaching]

[officer] Ma'am, I'm gonna need

you to step out of your vehicle.

-Wait, why?

-[banging on window]

[Maddy screams]

[phone ringing]

[tense orchestral music playing]

[ringing continues]

[Maddy screams]

Please! Help me!

[screaming]

[muffled] You sons of b*tches!

Anything?

It's voicemail again.

[sighs]

She said she was just going

to get some groceries.

[Liam] Yeah, I know.

If it makes you feel any better,

I can go into town

and see if I can find her?

I mean, there's only one

grocery store, right?

[Sarah] Thank you.

[keys jingling]

[birds chirping]

[eerie orchestral music]

[clanking]

[distant clanking]

[engine starts]

[owl hoots]

Please tell me

Liam went to get food?

Who d*ed?

[Rachel] It is getting late.

We need to feed these two.

I'll just order something.

No one will deliver out here.

Let my wife work her magic.

So, Mom, how'd you do it?

A magician

never reveals her secrets.

-[Liz laughs]

-I'm gonna try calling again.

Don't worry, Mom.

They'll be back soon.

Yeah, definitely.

Let's get these kids

to bed, huh?

[tense orchestral music playing]

[lock clicks]

[door creaks open]

[Sarah gasps, grunts]

No, don't. Please!

Stop, stop, stop, stop it.

[Sarah whimpering]

No, no, no, no, no

you don't have to do this,

you don't have to do this,

please. [whimpers]

[Sarah cries, coughs]

No, please.

-Shh!

-What are you doing?

-They're in the house.

-What?

Come on.

You need to get out of here.

[Liz] What about my moms?

[both panting]

-[Liz cries]

-Liz, wait!

[Liz screams]

-What the hell is going on?

-[Rachel] Quiet.

-We gotta go. Now.

-No sh*t.

[all panting]

[Aden] Come on.

Come on, come on.

This way, come on, come on.

Sarah?

Sarah? Sarah? Sarah!

[Rachel] Jordan, they're coming.

-Mom!

-[whimpering]

[Jordan pants, grunts]

[all whimpering, panting]

[Rachel screaming]

-[Liz cries]

-[Aden] There's no time!

[intense orchestral

music playing]

[panting]

[wrench jingling]

Damn it.

I can hear you breathing.

[Liz] Aden, Aden, stop.

-Aden!

-[Aden] We have to keep moving.

[Liz crying] What about my moms?

[Aden]

They'd want you to keep going.

-I can't leave them.

-You have to.

[Liz cries]

Hey, Liz, Liz,

look at me, look at me, Liz.

When did you have time

to put shoes on?

You're hurting me.

-[howling continues]

-[Liz cries]

[cult member shouting]

You better run!

[Maddy] Sarah. Sarah.

Thank God you're awake.

-Where's Aden?

-[Maddy] I don't know.

-[Sarah] What's going on?

-[Maddy] I don't know.

I've been alone in here

for hours.

Aden?

-Aden?

-Sarah.

Nobody can hear us.

No, no, no, no.

This can't be happening.

I told you

not to come back here.

I just wanted my life back.

[laughs] You had it.

You were free.

This whole

coming back here thing?

It's sick. You're sick.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

Where's your g*n?

They took it.

-Where are we going?

-Not much further now.

[cries] What the--

-Shh!

-[Liz] Aden.

[Liz cries]

[Aden] Are you ready?

Hey.

-Hey.

-[Liz sobs]

Liz, look at me.

This is why we're here.

What are you talking about?

Liz.

This is my party, Liz.

And you're the guest of honor.

[cries, screams]

Aden, what are you doing?

Help me!

[Liz screams in distance]

Help me, please.

Please, let me go.

[cries]

Please, help me, please,

I just wanna go home.

Mom!

Mom!

Why-- why are you doing this?

Please! Please stop!

[cries] Please! Please!

Why?

No, no, no.

[woman] Drink.

-No! No, please!

-You have been chosen.

[cult leader] The families

have gathered for you.

Are you prepared?

Yes.

Wait here.

[stutters] What?

[voice distorted]

Your life will be better.

You have been chosen

to be one of the family.

The ritual can begin.

She has been chosen.

[all whispering] Chosen. Chosen.

She has been chosen.

-She has been chosen.

-She's been chosen.

Are you-- wait...

You are starting down the path

to become

one of our sisters.

[all whispering] Chosen.

She has been chosen.

She's been chosen.

[woman] You've been chosen.

We will prepare you

[indistinct] your first steps.

[all chanting]

She's been chosen.

This is your path,

as it was ours.

The family will care for you.

[all chanting]

She's been chosen.

[woman] You will come

to love and trust the family...

as we all have.

[all] For the family.

[soft chatter]

Are you nervous,

young [indistinct]?

A little.

There's no reason to be.

Your time preparing

was well spent.

We've arranged everything.

Though, we were disappointed

to have a few

unforeseen ends to tie up.

I'm sorry, I--

didn't know

my aunt Madelyn was coming.

Or the girl.

Other arrangements have been

made for your guest of honor.

Aden.

Your father would be proud.

[cult leader]

Young [indistinct].

Your life

as a member of this family

resumes now.

Your mother tried to weaken you.

She did not succeed.

I will not fail the family.

Prove it.

[Aden] Hey, big sh**t.

Aden? What's going on?

I'm joining my true family now.

[Liam grunts]

[outdoor ambiance]

[grunting]

Aren't you glad

you could help me do that?

[Kn*fe squelches, bone crackles]

[Liam pants, grunts]

[blood dripping, coughs]

I saw you kiss her.

-Aden. You all right?

-Aden. Help us.

Aden, honey?

Aden, what the hell?

[Aden] Hi, Mom.

I know you tried.

You've always wanted

what you thought

was best for me.

And for the longest time...

I was afraid I'd...

never be the man

Dad wanted me to be.

Who gives a sh*t about him?

She's your mother.

Stay out

of my family's business!

You show up uninvited to what?

Huh?

Steal me from my family again?

Aden, let us go.

You let us go or--

Please, please.

-[Maddy] Sarah! Sarah!

-[Sarah] No! Maddy!

-[Maddy screams]

-[Sarah] Maddy! No!

[screams] Maddy! Maddy!

-[Maddy screams]

-[thudding]

[Sarah whimpers]

[Sarah sobs]

Family doesn't give up...

that easily, Mom.

Family doesn't run away.

Family also forgives...

Mom.

-Aden, no--

-[Aden] Mom.

They're forgiving me for you.

For Dad.

And I couldn't have done it

without your help.

Thank you.

-[Sarah cries]

-[Aden] Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, it's okay.

You brought me back.

You did everything you could.

Now...

Liz and I will pick up...

where you and Dad left off.

Aden, you can't. Aden.

Don't do that to that girl.

No, Aden, just look at yourself.

[Aden exhales]

No.

Aden, Aden, Aden, Aden.

-It's almost over.

-[Sarah cries]

[Sarah whimpers]

[women singing in distance]

-Let's go.

-Wait!

-We need to think about this.

-We can't wait.

What? Jordan, no! Wait.

Jordan, wait.

[singing continues]

[Rachel screams]

-Liz!

-Liz! Help!

[Rachel screams]

[banging]

[body thuds]

Are you okay?

I'm fine, it's nothing. [pants]

[Rachel grunts]

[Jordan] Rachel.

What's wrong?

You just shouldn't have

revealed your secrets.

-[Jordan cries]

-Don't.

Go save our daughter.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[singing continues]

[Liz screaming]

No, no, no, no, no, no!

[singing continues]

[blood squirts]

[Jordan pants]

Aden. Where's Liz?

[Aden] You fought very hard.

You could have escaped,

if you'd just left Liz alone.

She's my daughter!

Where is she?

-She's safe.

-What did you do to her?

She's part of

my family now.

Don't worry.

In all the generations

we farmed this land,

we've never had a poor harvest.

You're gonna make

an excellent hunt this year.

Your blood

will fertilize the lands

that feed your daughter.

[banging on cage]

A mother's place

is to sacrifice

for her children.

Don't you think?

[chanting in foreign language]

[chanting continues]

[chanting continues]

We begin this year's ceremony

with a renewed sense of joy...

knowing that our family

will once again be complete.

Tonight, we restore our lost son

to his rightful place.

Our forefathers,

they knew that the sacrifice

of one's life for another

is the greatest show of devotion

that man can reach.

Thus, we've always

honored the tradition

of the [indistinct].

[melancholic orchestral

music playing]

On this night...

your father

gives his life for you.

[woman] Now...

honor your father's sacrifice.

[Aden] Praise the family!

I present to you

our first sacrifice,

representing planting,

the first seed and hope.

May his blood

fertilize our lands.

[axe thuds]

For the planting!

[all] For the planting!

After the planning...

the seed grows and is nourished

and the weeds...

that thr*aten

the sprouting plants...

must be ripped from the earth.

[sighs]

As the sacrifices

of our ancestors

cultivated this land...

so too will yours.

I remove this weed

that has choked our family.

-[stabbing]

-[Sarah screams]

[Sarah] No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

[Aden] For the cultivation!

[all] For the cultivation!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The harvest must be reaped.

The wheat separated

from the chaff.

[Sarah whimpers]

[Aden] For the harvest!

[all] For the harvest!

[Sarah pants]

I'm not going anywhere.

[blood squelches]

The harvest ceremony

is complete.

We now join

Elder [indistinct]...

in welcoming his bride.

[women singing indistinctly]

[singing continues]

We celebrate their binding

as it strengthens

the future of our family.

You'll come to love it here.

I promise.

With your commitment

to the family...

and to our future...

I bind you

in love and protection

of the seven families.

I bless your thoughts.

May they be pure...

and wise.

I bless your bodies.

May they be strong

to serve the family.

Lastly, I bless your lips.

May only praise...

ever be uttered from them.

[Liz whimpers]

They have taken

the honored position

of service and marriage

to each other.

We, the family...

will support you and guide you

on your journey together.

["Guilt" by Carrellee playing]

Guilt driving me crazy

Calling me lazy

Guilt

Everywhere I go

Man-made to make a lady

Feel like she's going crazy

Guilt

High on his horse

Drove me out to the desert

Fed me to the buzzards

Guilt

With no one around

Laying low in a ghost town

Eating pie 'til sun down

Guilt

'Til he shows his face

In a public place

Coming up on high noon

In a sleazy saloon

Chewed my final straw

Then I tapped

on his shoulder

Reached for my holster

And he turned around

And I sh*t him down

Yeah, I sh*t him down
