MAN 1: Fowler told

me to leave it unlocked.

It must've been the coyotes.

MAN 2:

Yeah, no sh*t.

- What'd you tell him?

- MAN 1: I did...

Tell me what you told him,

you little f*ck.

Sam?

Hi, E... Emma.

(SIGHS)

Fowler's called a meeting

tonight in the barn.

(HENS CLUCKING IN BACKGROUND)

Oh, yeah?

What is it tonight?

Don't know yet.

Right. Yeah.

We'll be there.

What did you say to Fowler?

I just said that I saw

you and Emma

coming out of

the shack together.

That's all.

You have no idea

what you've done.

What?

What's going on?

Nothing good.

Hey, but it's not your fault,

all right?

- Huh.

- Come on, let's go.

The path to heaven leads

Sam didn't show up

I dare the two of you to laugh.

(DOOR CREAKS)

Where's Emma?

SAM:

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

(CHUCKLE)

You sh*t in his hat?

You're damn right I did.

Whoo!

(CHUCKLES)

Why?

Is that something

I shouldn't have done?

I don't know.

(CHUCKLE)

Okay, so game plan.

Uh-huh.

So, uh, you remember Josh

that left a while ago?

Um, well, he said that

if I ever needed to get out,

that he would have

a place for me.

And uh, you know, he didn't know

where he was going,

so he said to go to this bar

that we used to go to

and that he would leave

something there,

so that we could get

in contact with him

and all that.

And um, yeah.

So, that's what we're doing.

Oh, man.

He is one hell of a guy.

You're gonna love him.

He's like all soul.

He's kind of like you, you know?

Yeah.

He used to love Fowler's

teachings and everything,

but then he realized, you know,

what we know now.

- Emma.

- Huh?

- Hmm?

- Um, you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, sorry.

Hey.

I need you here with me.

I'm here and I'm listening.

- You were saying?

- Okay.

Yeah.

The game plan.

Yes.

We need to find my friend Josh.

Ah, sh*t.

(BUZZING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(DOOR OPENS)

(BIRDS CHIRPING IN BACKGROUND)

Trade ya.

How does it feel?

Heavy.

Oh, well, you'll grow into it.

Thank you for cleaning my hat.

It's a dirty job.

And thank you

for letting me know

about the friendship

between Sam and Emma.

Are Sam and Emma in trouble?

Have you been listening

to my lessons?

Yes.

Hmm.

What was it that led us here?

To my land?

(ROD CLANKS)

To our home?

God showed you.

And what awaited me

when I arrived here?

And what happened next?

You k*lled it with that,

so that you could build us

a home.

Take hold.

I'm gonna let you in

on something.

This rod, the hat,

nothing more than tools.

The real magic

it lives in here

and it lives in here.

We are merely vessels

through which God acts.

And as vessels,

we give power to these tools.

It wasn't I who struck

that creature its death blow.

It was the will of God

that I and my family

should inhabit these lands.

Do you understand me?

Remember last night,

being lost in the woods?

Remember the fear,

the cold and the confusion?

Remember

what set you off course?

Is Sam in trouble?

Well, I'm gonna go and find out.

And while I'm gone

you're the man of the house.

(MAN CHUCKLING)

Sam, I thought you forgot

all about us.

No, ma'am.

How you been, Peg?

PEG:

Same old sh*t.

Well, now who is this cutie?

Brave of you

to bring her in here.

This is Emma.

We're just passing through,

though.

Emma?

Sam ever tell you

about the time that he...

Hey, hey, no.

We um, we don't need

to do stories.

If you say so.

You um,

have you seen Josh around?

Josh hasn't been around

for years.

Still owes me a beer, though.

He doesn't owe you a beer.

Josh hasn't been around

for years,

but he did leave something

for you.

Uh, stay put.

- Yes.

- Be right back.

Thank you, Peg.

OLD MAN:

How about a beer, Sam?

I want to hear these stories.

Well, I'll be damned.

It's my old dance partner.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES)

Gotta say, I'm a little jealous

you bring such a cutie in.

Who is she? Your girlfriend?

No.

Well, that works out just fine.

Hey, hey, hey.

(GAME SOUNDS)

(CHUCKLE)

Ah. I knew he...

I knew he'd come through for me.

Come on, man.

Come on.

All right.

Hey, hey.

Uh, can I use your phone?

- Yeah, you know where it is.

- Yeah.

Hey.

(RINGING DIALTONE)

Emma.

(GAME SOUNDS)

Aw, come on.

Come on, Josh.

- (RINGING DIALTONE)

- (SIGHS)

Let's go.

Just don't f*cking touch me.

(CHUCKLES)

Don't.

Hey, I got you a beer, Sam.

Sa...

Ah.

(SLURPS)

Ah.

(DOORS OPEN, SHUT)

SAM:

This is so Josh.

Do you think it's accurate?

There's only one way

we're gonna find out.

(KEYS JANGLE)

(CAR BEEPING)

(ENGINE REVS)

So, how many times have you been

there before?

I...

Just a few...

Well, it kinda seems like a lot.

- I don't...

- They like knew you.

I don't wanna...

- Let's...

- After all those years.

Let's talk about anything else.

- What...

- Honestly, if we could...

I don't wanna talk

about that bar.

What else can we talk about?

Okay, one story.

One story.

Who was that lady?

No one.

She seemed like someone.

Okay. Okay.

One story.

One story. Okay.

So, you know that weirdo

sitting at the end of the bar?

The one trying

to buy me a drink?

He seemed okay.

Well, yeah.

Anyway, but that guy.

Uh-huh.

So, a few years ago, Josh

and I are there at the bar,

and he will not leave us alone.

So...

I tell him that we're tripping

on acid and

well, I gave him

a little piece of my napkin

and I told him that it was acid.

And he... and he took it, so.

You know what acid is, right?

Yes. Sam, I know.

That...

- Uh-huh.

- It's like...

Uh-huh.

A drug.

Yeah, so we gave him

a, a piece of paper

and told him it was acid.

So, what happened?

Oh, sh*t.

Well, he was in the corner

all night

pissed pants,

crying for his mother.

(CHUCKLES)

I mean, that f*ck

wasn't even high.

I don't...

Why would you do that?

Well, he... he wouldn't...

He wouldn't leave us alone.

So we thought,

and it's funny.

This is why I didn't wanna

tell you what... any stories.

I asked. I...

f*ck!

I shouldn't have...

I shouldn't have done that.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(GOATS BLEATING)

(HENS CLUCKING)

(ENGINE REVS)

So, what'd he tell you?

He said, I'm the man

of the house.

Really?

Yeah.

Now what?

Uh.

Get the f*ck out.

How about a drink?

PEG: No. How about

Ah, geez.

Do you find me disagreeable?

I said

how about a drink,

Duh, I... I've got water.

Uh, please, sit, sit, sit.

Thank you.

Uh, yeah uh, Sam,

How did he know it was us?

JOSH:

Hey, Sam, do... sh*t.

Sorry about that.

Sorry.

Um, I was thinking

about the other day.

Here you go, one for you.

And uh, one for you.

God, your hands look

like my face.

Um, I was thinking

about the other day,

do you remember that time

when we... when we were

at the bar and we fake roofied

uh, that real big dumb-a*s

who was just pestering

the sh*t out of us?

Do you remember that?

(MUNCHES)

Yeah, I remember.

JOSH: It was f*cking hilarious,

wasn't it? It... it really was.

It was f*cking hilarious,

I think that guy ended up

Hey, cut the sh*t.

How did you know it was us?

What?

When we pulled up, you knew.

You haven't answered

my phone calls

in years, so

when we pulled up

and you knew, you tell me how.

What do you mean?

Okay.

What do you mean, man?

I mean, you're my friend,

I'm your friend.

You want a cr*cker?

Can I get you something?

Okay, listen,

a few minutes back.

- Yeah, a turnoff to where?

- We could...

- I don't know.

- Huh?

Yeah, it's probably

a dead end, right?

Okay, Sam.

We need to go somewhere!

Yeah?

And I...

And I thought you had a plan.

Yeah, f*cking Josh was our plan!

Remember?

f*cking Josh was the plan!

You're right.

I didn't mean

to take that out on you.

I...

You don't deserve that.

I just...

I do that thing.

I've always done it

I guess it's just good to know

that you have my back.

What did you say to them?

You told them I'm broke, right?

We are broke, Sam.

Yeah, so you probably

would've rather just stayed

with them, huh?

Right?

Right?

Say something.

What do you want me to say?

What do you want from me?

Do you even care about us?

Huh?

Of course, I do.

You're my friend.

I'm done.

You're just f*cking around

Don't make me feel stupid.

I thought you just wanted

Come on in.

You're safe.

Howdy, gals.

Like my new hat?

(RETCHES)

GRAVE DIGGER:

Sorry. sh*t.

(COW MOOING)

That's his hat.

Dammit, Kevin!

Get rid of that thing.

Burn it with the rest

of his sh*t.

- (SNIFFLES)

- Emma,

this is my partner, Kevin.

He has a hard time

reading situations sometimes,

but he's a sweetheart.

I've... I've been digging

all morning

and I had to get down in there

and get his sh*t out.

Let's not talk about him

anymore, Kev.

That's fine with me,

that crazy son of a b*tch.

Now go get dressed

and clear some of your stuff

out of the bedroom.

Yes, ma'am.

Young lady, would you mind

turning around?

KEVIN:

Good morning, sweetheart.

Hope the food wasn't too cold.

Didn't want to wake you.

It was delicious.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I slept so long.

No such thing as sleeping in

when your body needs it.

That's right, sweetheart.

How you feeling?

Refreshed.

Good.

You want to take a walk with me?

- Sure.

- Follow me.

(COW MOOING)

g*dd*mn son of a b*tch.

(SIGHS)

(LOG CLANKS)

Wanted to show you this.

I come here sometimes

to get away from it all.

It's lovely.

I figured you

and I could spend some time

up here together tonight.

Sure.

I'll cut us some firewood.

(LOGS THUMP)

Could I try?

Of course. Have at it.

(HACKS LOG)

Actually, I think I can take it

from here if that's okay.

Of course, it is.

You sure?

There's a lighter

and some tinder

under the canopy over there.

Looks like you know

what you're doing.

Holler if you need anything.

Thank you.
