[person laughing]
[gentle chiming music]
[Kate screaming]
[dramatic music]
[all chattering]
Hey, how was your day?
It was alright.
Jackson was a jerk though.
Want me to talk to your teacher?
No, it's all right.
He's just...
Yeah, sometimes it's like that.
What's that you got?
[Cooper] His name's Jimmy.
Where's mom?
Packing.
Still?
Yep.
[Cooper] Are you guys
leaving in the morning?
Yes, dear.
Come on, let's go.
Mom, seriously, it's gonna be fine.
Jesus.
No, I, I wasn't taking
the, I didn't, okay, fine.
You know what? I was taking
the Lord's name in vain.
Who fucking cares?
Jesus would forgive me, so why can't you?
Anyway, we should be there by dinner.
Adam's gonna drop me off,
and then go fishing for the weekend.
Yes, Mother.
No, Mother.
It'll be fine.
No, Mom.
That was like, what, 30 years ago?
It's fine. It was an accident.
We were kids, we talked,
then he forgave me.
It's squashed.
I mean, how often does my
childhood best friend get married?
Bridal shower by the lake with the girls,
wouldn't miss it for the world.
I mean, it's on my birthday,
but hey, bridal shower,
far more important, right?
Ugh.
What?
No, not you, I just, I just
Okay, I love you too.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
Okay, bye.
[soft ambient music]
Get your shit together, Kate.
It's just a bridal shower.
[light piano music]
[door clicking]
Can I go play outside?
You got any homework?
Nope, did it already.
All right, just be
home by five, all right?
All right.
Kate, honey?
[Kate] Up here.
[Adam scoffing]
Oh, I'm not sure our
homeowners insurance
covers hurricanes, babe.
Hmm.
Where's Coop?
[Adam] He just headed out to play.
He'll be back by five.
- Shit.
- What?
I forgot to get anything for dinner.
We'll get take out.
No worries.
I like that.
This way I have time
to take another shower.
I smell.
You don't smell.
Says you.
You haven't been packing and
sweating like a pig all day.
You had a shower last night.
You do not smell.
You know what?
No, I just, let me have this. I need it.
I smell, just, okay.
Did you confirm with the babysitter?
Kate, I got this.
Okay.
But you did confirm, right?
It's been a couple weeks
since we talked to her.
Hey, stop worrying about everything.
I got this, seriously.
Okay, okay.
Does this look stupid?
I didn't know what to get her.
It's been like 20 years
since we've seen each other.
She's gained weight, you know?
But this is nice, right?
You're a nut, you know that, right?
Walnut or pecan?
I'm gonna go Brazil.
Oh, exotic. I like it.
Me too.
Whoo.
Okay, buddy, you got five minutes.
- I only need three.
- Said with the confidence
of a man who only needs two.
So how was school today, Coop?
It was all right. [Laughing]
You're so silly, Coop.
How was school today?
It was all right.
Jackson was
[all] A jerk.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
But hey, you get to spend
the weekend with Leah.
She's cool.
She let me watch "Friday the
13th" last time, the first one.
Ch-ch-ch ah-ah-ah.
Hey, Leah's gonna drop
you off at school on Monday,
and one of us will pick you up.
Cool?
Cool.
[soft ambient music]
[birds chirping]
[door clicking]
Hey Mr. Sindall.
You guys all ready to go?
It's good.
Just about ready,
but Cooper's inside if
you wanna just head in.
- Cool, sounds good.
- All right.
Well, my 11-year-old son just told me
they watched "Friday the 13th"
movie for the first time.
Such a good movie.
Yeah, no.
Oh, well I bought the sequel.
I thought we could watch it tonight.
You're our favorite babysitter, Leah.
Don't make me kill you too.
Mom.
What, you don't think I don't
know who Freddy Krueger is?
Ch-ch-ch ah-ah-ah.
Kill you, kill you, Mommy.
That's not...
It's cool.
Listen, let's just keep it
PG or PG-13 this weekend, huh?
Yeah, sounds good.
We can just watch "Incident
in a Ghostland" or something.
What's "Incident in a Ghostland?"
Kid's show.
[Kate] Yeah, I guess so.
Alright, babe.
Ready to roll?
Yeah, okay.
So there's money on the counter.
Get some pizza or something.
- Sounds good.
- You got our numbers, right?
- Same as last time.
- Okay.
Give me a hug, kid.
I meant my kid.
Right.
Totally knew that.
I don't smell bad, do I?
No.
All right, be good.
Listen to Leah and
we'll be back on Monday.
I love you.
Okay.
[Leah] Sorry about your birthday.
It's okay, sweetie.
This is Benny's moment, but
I have a birthday every year.
But
No buts about it.
And I'm gonna do for you when I get home.
Now go, go hug your dad.
You can have a couple of
friends over if he wants.
Sounds good.
House party, lots of food, some drugs,
sex, and rock and roll.
A couple of his friends.
But not Jackson because
[all] Jackson's a jerk.
[Adam] [chuckling]
Alright, let's get going.
All right.
Oh, hey do, do you
guys have a house key?
I forgot mine.
Yeah, sure.
You can have mine.
[keys jingling]
Damn it.
I just, [sighing] I
just got my nails done.
Just, here you take 'em.
All right, let's go.
Be good.
No promises.
Wanna watch "Terrifier 2?"
Heck yeah.
[soft ambient music]
[hand smacking]
Yeah, I don't know.
It's been doing that lately.
It's a wire maybe.
Are you gonna put on a true
crime podcast or something?
Sure.
You can pick whatever you want.
They'll be fine, right?
- Yep.
- I'm just nervous.
About them or about the trip?
It's been like 20 years
since I've seen Benny.
I mean we Facebook message sometimes,
and I definitely stalk her profile,
but, well, an invitation
after all this time
just seems weird to me.
I mean, you did try to kill her.
Ha ha, that's not what
happened, and you know it.
We were kids playing down by the dock.
She slipped.
I didn't know what to do.
I can't swim.
I know, I know. I was joking.
I just wish we were
close like we used to be.
You know?
An invite now after all these
years feels weird to me.
I mean, she's getting married
and there's a bridal shower.
Inviting old friends is
pretty normal, I think.
Yeah, but she planned it on my birthday.
Do you think that was a
coincidence? [Scoffing]
She's always gotta be in the spotlight,
even when we were kids,
We'll celebrate when we get back, okay?
You know my mom is helping her, right?
Like my mom, not hers.
That's weird.
Well, doesn't her mom
have dementia or something?
Well, when you say it that way...
I bet she's gonna try to save me again.
You know, Venny's religious.
God this, God that.
I bet this is gonna be like an ambush,
like a religious
intervention or something.
An ambush?
Seriously, Kate?
She probably wants
to give me a pamphlet.
God, just come on, just
stop already, all right?
You guys have known each other
since you were, what, five?
I mean, your mom is basically her mom.
Besides knowing your mom,
she volunteered for this.
Yeah, she does that.
[Adam] She does.
You know, she treats
Venny more like her own kid
than she does me.
That fucking pisses me off.
[Adam] I know.
She's been weird.
Mom's been weird around
me ever since dad died.
She found religion.
It's sunshine, roses, and finding God.
She doesn't even drink
anymore. Did you know that?
[bell ringing] [eerie ambient music]
[bell ringing]
[bell ringing]
Hey, girl.
Sweetheart, where are you? [Coughing]
Come to daddy.
[eerie ambient music continues]
Come in. [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
Come here.
Daddy needs you. [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
I'm gonna go get some snacks
before it starts raining again.
- Okay.
- You want anything?
No.
[door clicking]
[door clicking]
That gonna do it for you?
Yep.
Where are you heading?
It's a house near Lake Brayhawk.
Oh yeah.
It's out by Pullman, right?
Yeah, sounds right.
Good fishing out there.
Hoping so.
Alright, you folks, be safe now.
Stay in your car.
Yeah, thanks.
[soft ambient music]
[car whooshing]
[ominous music]
[bell ringing]
[Dad] Come here, sweetie.
Come here.
[ominous music continues]
[bell ringing]
[yawning] Where are we?
We're about three and a
half hours out, I think.
How long have I been out?
[Adam] Not long. Maybe an hour or so.
Oh, my neck is, oh, thank you.
My neck is screaming.
There might be some
ibuprofen in my camp kit.
Do you want me to stop
and see if I can find it?
No, that's okay. It's
just that I, I don't know.
Do you want me to drive for a while?
Oh no, that's all right.
[Kate] Are you sure?
Yeah, you can go
back to sleep if you want.
I mean, this next stretch
of about 100 miles is nothing.
No gas stations or anything,
so probably not much to see.
Okay, well, wake me if
you need to take a break.
[Adam] I will.
[eerie ambient music]
[bell ringing]
[bell ringing]
[Dad] [coughing] Hey girl,
where are you? [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
[yawning] Oh, my neck.
Oh, next time I need to bring a pillow.
Jesus, it's killing me.
Where are we now?
- The woods.
- Adam.
No, I just had to pull
over for a piss break,
but like 45 miles out I think.
I don't know.
I lost signal a while ago.
Nothing but crazy preacher
AM radio from here on out.
Oh, I could do without that.
Praise Jesus.
[Kate] Oh, I could do without that.
Yeah, all Jesus all the
time here on God Rock 101.
Now playing that classic tune,
"You're Gonna Burn in
Hell, You Dirty Whore."
Really?
But we're on the right road, right?
Well, not according to that guy.
Very funny.
Look, I gotta piss.
[Kate] Here?
Yeah.
Look, I'll just be a second.
Why, you gotta go?
Not here.
Why, you're afraid someone's
gonna see your naked butt?
Yes.
Repent.
Repent, Kate Sindall.
Turn your thoughts from wickedness.
Tuck your tush and gird
your loins or whatever.
What does that even
mean, gird your loins?
No idea.
But like there's no one even around.
I mean, we haven't seen anyone,
not even another car for a long time.
So no one's gonna see you taking a pee.
Nope.
I'll pass.
Suit yourself.
Gird your loins.
I'll be back.
[door clicking]
[Preacher] And the
unclean shall perish in hellfire.
They shall be dragged
down from the high places
and brought low by the
devil, the great deceiver,
the tempter.
For he who turns his face from God
shall face everlasting wrath and vengeance,
and all the demons of
hell shall come for them.
There is no safe place for the wicked.
There is nowhere to run from your sins
when the devil comes calling.
Repent, repent.
For the Lord God is your savior
and the devil is your enemy.
Repent your sins and save yourself.
There is still time.
Repent.
And know this, my children,
know this and quiver with fear.
The devil sees you.
He knows your heart and he seeks you out.
He will not be turned by your cries, no.
Only our savior can turn aside.
[soft ambient music]
[birds chirping]
What the fuck?
Adam?
Adam?
Adam, where are you?
Stop messing around.
This isn't funny.
I'm not joking, this isn't funny.
What?
[tense music]
[intense music]
[intense music continues]
[door clicking]
[Preacher] Shall perish in hellfire.
They shall be dragged
down from the high places
and brought low by the devil.
- Wait just...
- The great deceiver,
the tempter.
For he who turns his face from God.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Where's Adam?
[preacher] There is no
safe place for the wicked.
There is nowhere to run from your sins
when the devil comes calling.
Repent, repent.
For the Lord God is your savior.
The devil is your enemy.
All right, Kate.
Get your shit together.
This is beyond.
- There is still time.
Repent. [Coughing]
And know this, my children,
know this and quiver with fear.
The devil sees you.
He knows your heart and he seeks you out.
He'll not be turned by your cries.
Oh, goddammit.
[preacher] Only our savior
can turn aside the evil one.
Only God can save you from yourself.
Repent, repent.
Turn from evil [keys jingling]
and embrace your Lord.
Goddammit.
[preacher] And I saw
an angel coming down
out of heaven, having the key to the abyss
and holding in his hand a great chain.
He sees the dragon.
What the actual fuck?
[preacher] And bound
him for a thousand years.
He threw him into the abyss
and locked and sealed it over him
to keep him from deceiving
the nations anymore
until a thousand years were ended.
After that, he must be
set free for a short time.
Do you hear what I tell you, children?
The devil, the tempter,
Old Scratch himself,
he must be set free for a short time.
And woe is the world of man
who has not repent of
their sins when he comes.
Repent, repent.
Deny that ancient being.
Repent or surely you shall
burn for all eternity
in the lake of fire.
[bell ringing]
[father laughing]
[bell ringing]
Okay, Kate, just, just
get back in the car,
lock the doors, you'll be safe.
Get back in the car and Adam
will be back in the morning.
Yeah, he probably got lost.
And, and if he's not back,
I'll walk to the gas station and get help.
Yeah, okay.
Just, just get back in
the car, lock the doors,
you'll be safe.
Okay,

[preacher] Repent.
Repent.
Turn to the Lord.
Deny the devil, that old
serpent whose name is Scratch.
Repent, and see truth and
light in the arms of the Lord.
Repent for the time is
nigh and our day has come.
You must repent your sins and turn to God
before it's too late for he is the...
There's your hand to God right there.
[dramatic orchestral music]
[ominous music] [crickets chirping]
[father] A girl's best

No, you're dead.
You're fucking dead.
No, no, you're fucking dead.
You can't hurt me.
You're dead. [Sobbing]
You can't me, no.
No.

Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
Is that your car?
Did it break down?
Are you all right?
Do you need a ride?
I can take you back to the gas station,
and you can call someone, a
tow truck or a family member.
Husband?
I don't see anyone.
Is he in the car?
Is he here?
Do you have any water?
Water.
Yeah, yeah, hold on.
Drink it slowly, you're gonna
[Kate coughing]
Try it again.
Slow, slow and steady.
What is this?
What do you want?
Is this some kind of prank,
like one of those prank shows? [Grunting]
No.
Another one for the fire, Katie girl.
[wind whooshing]
Now it's your turn.
[ominous music]
[Kate groaning]
[preacher] Repent.
[Kate screaming]
[preacher speaking indistinctly]
[Kate screaming]
Sorcerers, idle-makers, and all liars
shall have their turn in the lake
which burns with fire and
brimstone. [Indistinct]
Repent.
Repent.
[Kate screaming]
Deny the devil, that old
servant whose name is Scratch.
Repent.
Seek truth and light in
the arms of the lord.
Repent.
The time is nigh.
Your day has come.
You must repent your sins,
and turn to God before it's too late.
For He is the way.
And like the worms of the
devil, the fallen one,
he will coil around your
heart and poison all you do.
There is no escape for what you've done,
but in the redemption of our Lord God.
Repent.
Repent.
Your time is nigh.
Beware.
Call myself, the lord Satan has come,
and he will not leave without his prize
for that is [indistinct].
The hatred in our hearts is revealed,
then in God's light our sins are moved.
Repent.
The day has come.
The damned, those demons of hell,
have risen to walk the earth.
The rotten, the corrupt.
Repent, repent.
[father speaking indistinctly]
[ominous music continues]
Katie girl, come here.
I know you're there.
I can smell the blood on you, girl.
The change is on you.
I can smell it.
[ominous music]
You'll always be my little girl.
Mom.
What do you want, Kate?
I'm making dinner.
Do I smell bad?

Hello?
Is everyone okay in there?
Huh.
Looks abandoned.
I mean, I can call it in when
we get back down to the car,
but I don't think that's
gonna be there very long.
[birds chirping]
[traffic humming]
How you folks doing?
Good.
How about you?
Can't complain. Where are you heading?
Montana to visit some family.
[clerk] Oh yeah?
Beautiful state.
Yeah, it is.
Good fishing out that way.
You guys should check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Actually we're vegetarian.
[clerk] Oh.
That means we don't eat meat.
Yeah, I know what it means.
Just seems strange.
We're eaters, you know, humans.
Not all of us.
It's healthier.
Fair enough.
You folks drive safe
now. Stay in your car.
[ominous music]
[mother] Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Howdy, folks.
What can I do you for?
Oh, we're looking for my daughter.
Have you seen her?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
She was here a few days
back, maybe a week.
Wasn't she, with a man, I think?
That would be her husband, Adam.
Okay, sure.
She was supposed to meet
us but never showed up.
- Oh, sorry.
- But she was here.
Yeah.
Do you know which way they went?
We know they found her car,
but we're trying to, you
know, retrace their steps.
Yeah, sure, makes sense.
Yeah.
They headed down the highway over there.
Long stretch, hot as hell.
Take some water.
Thank you.
God bless.
If you say so.
You ladies drive safe now.
Stay in your car.

Hey, how was your day?
It was alright.
Jackson was a jerk though.
Want me to talk to your teacher?
No, it's all right.
He's just...
Yeah, sometimes it's like that.
What's that you got?
[Cooper] His name's Jimmy.
Where's mom?
Packing.
Still?
Yep.
[Cooper] Are you guys
leaving in the morning?
Yes, dear.
Come on, let's go.
Mom, seriously, it's gonna be fine.
Jesus.
No, I, I wasn't taking
the, I didn't, okay, fine.
You know what? I was taking
the Lord's name in vain.
Who fucking cares?
Jesus would forgive me, so why can't you?
Anyway, we should be there by dinner.
Adam's gonna drop me off,
and then go fishing for the weekend.
Yes, Mother.
No, Mother.
It'll be fine.
No, Mom.
That was like, what, 30 years ago?
It's fine. It was an accident.
We were kids, we talked,
then he forgave me.
It's squashed.
I mean, how often does my
childhood best friend get married?
Bridal shower by the lake with the girls,
wouldn't miss it for the world.
I mean, it's on my birthday,
but hey, bridal shower,
far more important, right?
Ugh.
What?
No, not you, I just, I just
Okay, I love you too.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
Okay, bye.
[soft ambient music]
Get your shit together, Kate.
It's just a bridal shower.
[light piano music]
[door clicking]
Can I go play outside?
You got any homework?
Nope, did it already.
All right, just be
home by five, all right?
All right.
Kate, honey?
[Kate] Up here.
[Adam scoffing]
Oh, I'm not sure our
homeowners insurance
covers hurricanes, babe.
Hmm.
Where's Coop?
[Adam] He just headed out to play.
He'll be back by five.
- Shit.
- What?
I forgot to get anything for dinner.
We'll get take out.
No worries.
I like that.
This way I have time
to take another shower.
I smell.
You don't smell.
Says you.
You haven't been packing and
sweating like a pig all day.
You had a shower last night.
You do not smell.
You know what?
No, I just, let me have this. I need it.
I smell, just, okay.
Did you confirm with the babysitter?
Kate, I got this.
Okay.
But you did confirm, right?
It's been a couple weeks
since we talked to her.
Hey, stop worrying about everything.
I got this, seriously.
Okay, okay.
Does this look stupid?
I didn't know what to get her.
It's been like 20 years
since we've seen each other.
She's gained weight, you know?
But this is nice, right?
You're a nut, you know that, right?
Walnut or pecan?
I'm gonna go Brazil.
Oh, exotic. I like it.
Me too.
Whoo.
Okay, buddy, you got five minutes.
- I only need three.
- Said with the confidence
of a man who only needs two.
So how was school today, Coop?
It was all right. [Laughing]
You're so silly, Coop.
How was school today?
It was all right.
Jackson was
[all] A jerk.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
But hey, you get to spend
the weekend with Leah.
She's cool.
She let me watch "Friday the
13th" last time, the first one.
Ch-ch-ch ah-ah-ah.
Hey, Leah's gonna drop
you off at school on Monday,
and one of us will pick you up.
Cool?
Cool.
[soft ambient music]
[birds chirping]
[door clicking]
Hey Mr. Sindall.
You guys all ready to go?
It's good.
Just about ready,
but Cooper's inside if
you wanna just head in.
- Cool, sounds good.
- All right.
Well, my 11-year-old son just told me
they watched "Friday the 13th"
movie for the first time.
Such a good movie.
Yeah, no.
Oh, well I bought the sequel.
I thought we could watch it tonight.
You're our favorite babysitter, Leah.
Don't make me kill you too.
Mom.
What, you don't think I don't
know who Freddy Krueger is?
Ch-ch-ch ah-ah-ah.
Kill you, kill you, Mommy.
That's not...
It's cool.
Listen, let's just keep it
PG or PG-13 this weekend, huh?
Yeah, sounds good.
We can just watch "Incident
in a Ghostland" or something.
What's "Incident in a Ghostland?"
Kid's show.
[Kate] Yeah, I guess so.
Alright, babe.
Ready to roll?
Yeah, okay.
So there's money on the counter.
Get some pizza or something.
- Sounds good.
- You got our numbers, right?
- Same as last time.
- Okay.
Give me a hug, kid.
I meant my kid.
Right.
Totally knew that.
I don't smell bad, do I?
No.
All right, be good.
Listen to Leah and
we'll be back on Monday.
I love you.
Okay.
[Leah] Sorry about your birthday.
It's okay, sweetie.
This is Benny's moment, but
I have a birthday every year.
But
No buts about it.
And I'm gonna do for you when I get home.
Now go, go hug your dad.
You can have a couple of
friends over if he wants.
Sounds good.
House party, lots of food, some drugs,
sex, and rock and roll.
A couple of his friends.
But not Jackson because
[all] Jackson's a jerk.
[Adam] [chuckling]
Alright, let's get going.
All right.
Oh, hey do, do you
guys have a house key?
I forgot mine.
Yeah, sure.
You can have mine.
[keys jingling]
Damn it.
I just, [sighing] I
just got my nails done.
Just, here you take 'em.
All right, let's go.
Be good.
No promises.
Wanna watch "Terrifier 2?"
Heck yeah.
[soft ambient music]
[hand smacking]
Yeah, I don't know.
It's been doing that lately.
It's a wire maybe.
Are you gonna put on a true
crime podcast or something?
Sure.
You can pick whatever you want.
They'll be fine, right?
- Yep.
- I'm just nervous.
About them or about the trip?
It's been like 20 years
since I've seen Benny.
I mean we Facebook message sometimes,
and I definitely stalk her profile,
but, well, an invitation
after all this time
just seems weird to me.
I mean, you did try to kill her.
Ha ha, that's not what
happened, and you know it.
We were kids playing down by the dock.
She slipped.
I didn't know what to do.
I can't swim.
I know, I know. I was joking.
I just wish we were
close like we used to be.
You know?
An invite now after all these
years feels weird to me.
I mean, she's getting married
and there's a bridal shower.
Inviting old friends is
pretty normal, I think.
Yeah, but she planned it on my birthday.
Do you think that was a
coincidence? [Scoffing]
She's always gotta be in the spotlight,
even when we were kids,
We'll celebrate when we get back, okay?
You know my mom is helping her, right?
Like my mom, not hers.
That's weird.
Well, doesn't her mom
have dementia or something?
Well, when you say it that way...
I bet she's gonna try to save me again.
You know, Venny's religious.
God this, God that.
I bet this is gonna be like an ambush,
like a religious
intervention or something.
An ambush?
Seriously, Kate?
She probably wants
to give me a pamphlet.
God, just come on, just
stop already, all right?
You guys have known each other
since you were, what, five?
I mean, your mom is basically her mom.
Besides knowing your mom,
she volunteered for this.
Yeah, she does that.
[Adam] She does.
You know, she treats
Venny more like her own kid
than she does me.
That fucking pisses me off.
[Adam] I know.
She's been weird.
Mom's been weird around
me ever since dad died.
She found religion.
It's sunshine, roses, and finding God.
She doesn't even drink
anymore. Did you know that?
[bell ringing] [eerie ambient music]
[bell ringing]
[bell ringing]
Hey, girl.
Sweetheart, where are you? [Coughing]
Come to daddy.
[eerie ambient music continues]
Come in. [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
Come here.
Daddy needs you. [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
I'm gonna go get some snacks
before it starts raining again.
- Okay.
- You want anything?
No.
[door clicking]
[door clicking]
That gonna do it for you?
Yep.
Where are you heading?
It's a house near Lake Brayhawk.
Oh yeah.
It's out by Pullman, right?
Yeah, sounds right.
Good fishing out there.
Hoping so.
Alright, you folks, be safe now.
Stay in your car.
Yeah, thanks.
[soft ambient music]
[car whooshing]
[ominous music]
[bell ringing]
[Dad] Come here, sweetie.
Come here.
[ominous music continues]
[bell ringing]
[yawning] Where are we?
We're about three and a
half hours out, I think.
How long have I been out?
[Adam] Not long. Maybe an hour or so.
Oh, my neck is, oh, thank you.
My neck is screaming.
There might be some
ibuprofen in my camp kit.
Do you want me to stop
and see if I can find it?
No, that's okay. It's
just that I, I don't know.
Do you want me to drive for a while?
Oh no, that's all right.
[Kate] Are you sure?
Yeah, you can go
back to sleep if you want.
I mean, this next stretch
of about 100 miles is nothing.
No gas stations or anything,
so probably not much to see.
Okay, well, wake me if
you need to take a break.
[Adam] I will.
[eerie ambient music]
[bell ringing]
[bell ringing]
[Dad] [coughing] Hey girl,
where are you? [Coughing]
[bell ringing]
[yawning] Oh, my neck.
Oh, next time I need to bring a pillow.
Jesus, it's killing me.
Where are we now?
- The woods.
- Adam.
No, I just had to pull
over for a piss break,
but like 45 miles out I think.
I don't know.
I lost signal a while ago.
Nothing but crazy preacher
AM radio from here on out.
Oh, I could do without that.
Praise Jesus.
[Kate] Oh, I could do without that.
Yeah, all Jesus all the
time here on God Rock 101.
Now playing that classic tune,
"You're Gonna Burn in
Hell, You Dirty Whore."
Really?
But we're on the right road, right?
Well, not according to that guy.
Very funny.
Look, I gotta piss.
[Kate] Here?
Yeah.
Look, I'll just be a second.
Why, you gotta go?
Not here.
Why, you're afraid someone's
gonna see your naked butt?
Yes.
Repent.
Repent, Kate Sindall.
Turn your thoughts from wickedness.
Tuck your tush and gird
your loins or whatever.
What does that even
mean, gird your loins?
No idea.
But like there's no one even around.
I mean, we haven't seen anyone,
not even another car for a long time.
So no one's gonna see you taking a pee.
Nope.
I'll pass.
Suit yourself.
Gird your loins.
I'll be back.
[door clicking]
[Preacher] And the
unclean shall perish in hellfire.
They shall be dragged
down from the high places
and brought low by the
devil, the great deceiver,
the tempter.
For he who turns his face from God
shall face everlasting wrath and vengeance,
and all the demons of
hell shall come for them.
There is no safe place for the wicked.
There is nowhere to run from your sins
when the devil comes calling.
Repent, repent.
For the Lord God is your savior
and the devil is your enemy.
Repent your sins and save yourself.
There is still time.
Repent.
And know this, my children,
know this and quiver with fear.
The devil sees you.
He knows your heart and he seeks you out.
He will not be turned by your cries, no.
Only our savior can turn aside.
[soft ambient music]
[birds chirping]
What the fuck?
Adam?
Adam?
Adam, where are you?
Stop messing around.
This isn't funny.
I'm not joking, this isn't funny.
What?
[tense music]
[intense music]
[intense music continues]
[door clicking]
[Preacher] Shall perish in hellfire.
They shall be dragged
down from the high places
and brought low by the devil.
- Wait just...
- The great deceiver,
the tempter.
For he who turns his face from God.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Where's Adam?
[preacher] There is no
safe place for the wicked.
There is nowhere to run from your sins
when the devil comes calling.
Repent, repent.
For the Lord God is your savior.
The devil is your enemy.
All right, Kate.
Get your shit together.
This is beyond.
- There is still time.
Repent. [Coughing]
And know this, my children,
know this and quiver with fear.
The devil sees you.
He knows your heart and he seeks you out.
He'll not be turned by your cries.
Oh, goddammit.
[preacher] Only our savior
can turn aside the evil one.
Only God can save you from yourself.
Repent, repent.
Turn from evil [keys jingling]
and embrace your Lord.
Goddammit.
[preacher] And I saw
an angel coming down
out of heaven, having the key to the abyss
and holding in his hand a great chain.
He sees the dragon.
What the actual fuck?
[preacher] And bound
him for a thousand years.
He threw him into the abyss
and locked and sealed it over him
to keep him from deceiving
the nations anymore
until a thousand years were ended.
After that, he must be
set free for a short time.
Do you hear what I tell you, children?
The devil, the tempter,
Old Scratch himself,
he must be set free for a short time.
And woe is the world of man
who has not repent of
their sins when he comes.
Repent, repent.
Deny that ancient being.
Repent or surely you shall
burn for all eternity
in the lake of fire.
[bell ringing]
[father laughing]
[bell ringing]
Okay, Kate, just, just
get back in the car,
lock the doors, you'll be safe.
Get back in the car and Adam
will be back in the morning.
Yeah, he probably got lost.
And, and if he's not back,
I'll walk to the gas station and get help.
Yeah, okay.
Just, just get back in
the car, lock the doors,
you'll be safe.
Okay,

Turn to the Lord.
Deny the devil, that old

Repent, and see truth and
light in the arms of the Lord.
Repent for the time is
nigh and our day has come.
You must repent your sins and turn to God
before it's too late for he is the...
There's your hand to God right there.

Hey.
Hey, are you okay?
Is that your car?
Did it break down?
Are you all right?
Do you need a ride?
I can take you back to the gas station,
and you can call someone, a
tow truck or a family member.
Husband?
I don't see anyone.
Is he in the car?
Is he here?
Do you have any water?
Water.
Yeah, yeah, hold on.
Drink it slowly, you're gonna

Slow, slow and steady.

Sorcerers, idle-makers, and all liars
shall have their turn in the lake

brimstone. [Indistinct]
Repent.
Repent.
[Kate screaming]
Deny the devil, that old
servant whose name is Scratch.
Repent.
Seek truth and light in
the arms of the lord.
Repent.
The time is nigh.
Your day has come.
You must repent your sins,
and turn to God before it's too late.
For He is the way.
And like the worms of the
devil, the fallen one,
he will coil around your
heart and poison all you do.
There is no escape for what you've done,
but in the redemption of our Lord God.
Repent.
Repent.
Your time is nigh.
Beware.
Call myself, the lord Satan has come,
and he will not leave without his prize
for that is [indistinct].
The hatred in our hearts is revealed,
then in God's light our sins are moved.
Repent.
The day has come.
The damned, those demons of hell,
have risen to walk the earth.
The rotten, the corrupt.
Repent, repent.
[father speaking indistinctly]

Katie girl, come here.
I know you're there.
I can smell the blood on you, girl.
The change is on you.
I can smell it.

Looks abandoned.
I mean, I can call it in when

gonna be there very long.
[birds chirping]
[traffic humming]
How you folks doing?
Good.
How about you?
Can't complain. Where are you heading?
Montana to visit some family.
[clerk] Oh yeah?
Beautiful state.
Yeah, it is.
Good fishing out that way.
You guys should check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Actually we're vegetarian.
[clerk] Oh.
That means we don't eat meat.
Yeah, I know what it means.
Just seems strange.
We're eaters, you know, humans.
Not all of us.
It's healthier.
Fair enough.
You folks drive safe
now. Stay in your car.
[ominous music]
[mother] Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Howdy, folks.
What can I do you for?
Oh, we're looking for my daughter.
Have you seen her?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
She was here a few days
back, maybe a week.
Wasn't she, with a man, I think?
That would be her husband, Adam.
Okay, sure.
She was supposed to meet
us but never showed up.
- Oh, sorry.
- But she was here.
Yeah.
Do you know which way they went?
We know they found her car,
but we're trying to, you
know, retrace their steps.
Yeah, sure, makes sense.
Yeah.
They headed down the highway over there.
Long stretch, hot as hell.
Take some water.
Thank you.
God bless.
If you say so.
You ladies drive safe now.
Stay in your car.
