The Welder (2021) Movie Script
(harsh static)
(rain spattering)
(thunder rumbles)
(eerie music)
(indistinct shouting)
(indistinct shouting)
(sheets rustling)
(muffled shouting)
[Roe] Baby. Baby, what
are you doing out there?
Baby, what are you?
Baby. Baby. Calm down.
It's okay.
Baby, calm down.
(Eliza sobbing)
Calm down.
It's okay.
Come on. Let's go inside.
[Eliza] Hey Mom.
[Mom] Hey honey. How are you?
It happened again last night.
[Mom] Oh, sweetie.
Don't tell me we were sleepwalking
again. Did Roe see you?
Que pena.
Yeah. He actually
helped me come out of it.
[Mom] Oh my God. This always
happens when you're stressed.
Even when you were a little girl.
Are you okay, mi hijita?
You know I'm not.
It's becoming more intense.
[Mom] Have you been seeing your doctor?
He's not a magician, Mom. He's a shrink.
Listen, I don't wanna talk about it.
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
And a pill isn't gonna help me either.
[Mom] But honey, you've only
been back for a little while.
You have to give this process time.
Talk to your psychiatrist,
mija. It's good for you.
But if you keep bottling
everything inside,
eventually...
(Mom speaking Spanish)
What does that even mean, Mom?
[Mom] It means when something
breaks inside your head,
it's really hard to put
it back together again.
You need to find a
healthy way to de-stress,
because if you don't, you're
not gonna like who you become.
I gotta go, okay? Bye.
(car rumbling)
[Roe] You talk to mama bear?
[Eliza] Yeah.
You tell her what happened last night?
Yeah.
She's a little worried.
I am too.
[Roe] And me three.
I'm saying,
it's not like you talk to me
about these types of things,
and I just wanna know why.
Do you remember how happy and
stress-free you used to be?
It was such a good time.
It really was.
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
My mom would send me to
my grandparents' farm.
I spent my summers breathing in fresh air,
chasing chickens, riding horses.
But the point is every time I was there,
I was always super relaxed, stress free.
So you wanna take me to
your grandparents' farm?
The farm was sold a long time ago.
My grandparents died right behind it.
But I did see this badass ranch online.
I figured out a little
stress free activity.
It is a little far, but I do
think it's gonna be worth it.
Here, I'll send you
the link. Check it out.
We'll be out riding horses, ATVs.
We'll practically have
the property to ourselves.
I'm gonna submit a request.
Let's see if they respond.
It does sound like a good idea.
[Roe] And if you decide
you don't want to come,
that's fine, because I'm
just gonna take your mom
with me instead.
My mom?
Oh yeah. Your mom.
Solo time with the suegra?
[Roe] Yeah. Just a little bonding.
Solo time with the suegra.
Bonding, bonding, bonding.
I haven't ridden horses
since I was a little girl, so.
[Roe] Boom, there we go, shorty.
We got the ranch for the whole weekend.
Baby, I love you so much.
[Eliza] Okay, don't expect
me to chase any chickens.
[Roe] Hilarious.
(eerie music)
(sack rustling)
(phone dings)
(radio crackles)
(muffled singing)
(meat squelching)
(man hums to music)
[Man] Be carried on.
(water splashing)
(dirt crunching)
(ominous music)
(metal clangs)
(mellow rock music)
How many pairs of
underwear are you gonna take?
It there's one thing I ever
learned from my mama girl,
you can never have enough
pairs of clean underwear.
How much clean underwear are you taking?
Are you seriously taking those?
What, these? These?
Is one box not enough?
Look, baby, I get it.
You're not ready.
It's not something you're
trying to do right now,
and I respect it.
(bag zips)
You complaining about me
bringing extra underwear
and condoms and you gonna pack that?
(train horn blares)
[Announcer] Ladies and
gentlemen, this is the last stop.
Please mind the gap between
train and the platform edge.
Thank you.
(muffled conversation)
(train rattling)
Didn't have any protein bars,
babe, so I got you an apple.
Thank you.
This guy looking at us?
That guy was looking at us.
Just ignore him.
(train horn blares)
(upbeat Latin music)
(man speaking Spanish)
It looks like these guys
were walking the horse.
Open up?
[Eliza] Boo.
(Eliza laughs)
Yeah, I'm really not
good at scaring people.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really not good
at acting scared either.
That's all I want, one of these coconuts.
[Eliza] Oh, this is nice.
Wow.
- You gotta get on this.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Oh my God. Okay.
(Eliza groans)
This place is kind of nice.
- Yeah, it is.
- We should have stayed here.
Do you know how far
we are from the ranch?
Forever, but that's cool.
Because nobody can get to us.
None of my friends will bother us.
We'll be good.
Here we go.
(knife thudding)
(phone beeps)
I like this coconut.
I bet it's good.
I don't know if this
driver's gonna want a mango
or a strawberry, but...
(eerie music)
Hey.
Dust my feet off for you.
Appreciate you making
a stop for us, brother.
Yeah, no problem.
(distant birds squawking)
Do a lot of people
go missing around here?
No.
I mean, there's more cows
than people out here,
so if one person goes
missing, everybody freaks out.
You know? That's like a
quarter of the population.
Means I can get me a
nice little cheeseburger.
You take a lot of people to
where we're staying at, brother?
[Taxi Driver] Nah, nah, not really.
I mean, I know the area well.
You guys are going pretty far out there.
It's nothing for miles
and miles and miles away.
My grandma would say you
guys going to culo del mundo.
- Cule el mundo-
- [Eliza] It just means,
"Far away."
Please don't say it.
[Roe] sorry.
It's pronounced, "Culo del
mundo." You should try that.
- [Roe] Culo El Mundo.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Roe] Babe. You gotta teach me that.
I mean, that's what we want.
We wanna be away from the city.
Just relax.
Get away from everybody and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you guys are
looking for secluded,
that's definitely what
you're gonna get out there.
It's gonna be just you and
a shit-ton of mosquitoes.
It's gonna be a party.
(ominous music)
[GPS] Your destination is on the left.
You've reached your destination.
(leaves rustling)
Alrighty, folks. We're here.
Okay.
I hope it looks better on the inside.
Yeah, I like it. It looks private.
Alrighty folks. I hope you
had a great ride with me.
Should leave that in the
comments. Five stars.
You know? A little tip wouldn't hurt.
- [Roe] Absolutely.
- Don't forget about that.
And you?
Good luck.
Alright. You guys have a good one.
(door shuts)
Good luck?
Good luck?
(tires squeal)
Tip? I'll give him a tip.
How about he stop kissing
ladies' hands he don't know?
Wait. I don't feel
right coming in like this.
Babe, we paid for the whole weekend.
They know that we're coming.
(gate squeaks)
(gate rattles)
[Roe] This house has a history, man.
Says on here the house
is over 100 years old.
Survived hurricanes,
floods, everything, man.
Even-
What?
Nothing.
- What?
- Nothing, babe.
We just got here.
I don't wanna ruin your
image of the place.
Give me your phone.
Someone was killed here?
That's what the article says.
But it happened a long time ago.
One of those, "We don't take
too kindly to your type,"
sort of things.
You know like how your dad tried me
the first day you brought me home.
Okay. You don't need to
bring that up. Thank you.
Wow, this place looks nothing
like what we saw online.
Telling me, man. Nothing.
(ominous music)
Okay.
See all this art that he has in here?
Very interesting.
[Roe] All this cultural stuff.
[Eliza] He's open minded.
It reminds you of what?
[Roe] "Make yourselves at home,
and we'll catch up in the morning.
Much regards, Mr. Godwin."
Well, that's enough for me.
Yeah, lets
find some food.
(leaves rustling)
(low growl)
(static buzzing)
(knocking)
[Roe] Knocking on our door
so early in the morning?
(chicken clucking)
Roe Sterling?
[Roe] Yeah, we got your note last night,
so we just went ahead and
made ourselves comfortable.
I hope that's all right.
Yes, it's fine.
You brought your girlfriend
with you as well, huh?
Babe.
The owner's here.
[Eliza] Good morning.
Hello.
Good morning.
I'm Eliza.
Lisa. Lovely to meet
you. I'm William Godwin.
Thank you for having us.
[Dr. Godwin] My pleasure.
Well, Mr. Godwin, to be 100% honest,
we weren't expecting a
white man, cock in hand,
to be waking us up this
early in the morning.
So if you don't mind, we-
But here on the ranch,
we like to rise with
the sun and the horses.
They're on their best behavior
right after breakfast.
Okay, well, we'll join you.
[Dr. Godwin] Great.
[Roe] All right.
[Eliza] Anything else?
It's a beautiful day.
Just give us a minute.
We'll see you soon.
Good.
(ominous music)
(horse whinnies)
(hooves clopping)
So, here he is.
Thunderbolt.
All right, Mr. Godwin. I see you.
Now, this is what I paid
all the money for, Godwin.
This is the good time right here.
Does he go fast?
[Dr. Godwin] Very fast.
Gotta.
It's okay.
I used to ride horses just
like you back at the stable,
when I was a kid.
You are just fine.
Aren't you handsome?
So, when do we get to ride them?
Okay, Eliza, I'm gonna
give you the reins.
Thank you, Mr. Godwin.
All right, all right,
all right. Okay, I got it.
Come on, baby. I thought
you were a pro at this.
Yo, I said that I rode
these things when I was a kid,
and I never said I was good at it.
It's like riding a bike, Roe.
[Roe] This is not like riding a bike.
[Eliza] Come on Roe.
[Roe] Come where? Where
are we going? Where?
(gentle music)
[Dr. Godwin] Never let's
be riding him though.
I think he's more of a ladies' man.
I hope Don and I didn't
disturb you last night.
[Eliza] Oh no.
We didn't notice...
I didn't know somebody else
was working in the ranch.
Oh yeah, I couldn't maintain
this entire ranch by myself.
(birds squawking)
(ominous music)
(quad bike rumbling)
[Dr. Godwin] Don.
Yes, Doctor?
[Dr. Godwin] Don, I
want you to meet Eliza.
Oh, sorry about the odor, by the way.
You are on a ranch.
Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
Nice to meet you. It's Eliza.
Pleasure to meet you.
[Dr. Godwin] I was
just explaining to her
that we apologize for all the loud noise
we were making last evening,
when we were working.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. We're sorry.
No, like I was telling
you, we didn't even notice.
So, nothing to apologize for.
If there's anything
we can help you with,
please, please let us know.
Thank you, Don.
Okay, then.
These we have to make sure we get them
a little bit more watered.
I'll show you the rest of the way.
[Eliza] If you don't mind me asking,
what's wrong with his hand?
Oh, Don? Yeah.
So, he was thrown from a horse
and he severed his lateral epicondal.
Fortunately, I used my medical
skills to patch him up.
Oh, you have medical skills?
I was a medic for the army.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I was a resident in surgery,
and I specialized in extremity transplant.
Cool.
Oh, I have a journal like that at home,
courtesy of my therapist.
Who's that?
I'm sorry, I keep asking
so many questions.
It's my wife.
We used to get stared at a lot,
and I always knew what
people were thinking.
Yeah, I think I can relate a little bit.
She was a victim.
(eerie music)
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have asked. I'm sorry.
Okay.
Eliza.
(quad bike rumbling)
Middle of nowhere now.
(phone ringing)
Yo, mama bear, what's good?
[Mom] Hello? I'm worried about you.
No, we're out-
[Mom] Call me, leave now.
Come home. Can you hear me?
Nah, I can't hear you.
[Mom] Bodies, they found bodies...
Shit.
(motor starts)
(chickens clucking)
[Dr. Godwin] Hey, Don.
How is it?
It's bad.
We're doing it for her.
So don't let your
sympathies get in the way.
(Don gasps)
Yes, Doctor. Because of her,
I'll follow you to the end.
(chicken squawks)
You wanna hear something
like, legit crazy?
I bet it's not as crazy
as what I have to tell you.
All right, selfish. Go first.
No, no, you go first.
All right.
So, we legit are literally in
the middle of fucking nowhere.
I must have rode that
ATV for at least an hour.
I almost ran outta gas trying to get back.
It's just nothing. Nothing but emptiness.
(Eliza coughs)
I've got the munchies.
Don't expect to get no quesadillas
or burritos or anything like that.
Driver wasn't playing when he
said we're in bum fuck Egypt.
Wait, so you're telling me
there's no Mexican place around?
Does it look like
there's a Mexican place-
[Eliza] What about Colombian place?
Cuban places?
[Roe] No. Nothing.
So, Mr. Godwin really opened up to me.
He told me that his wife,
his black wife was killed.
She's the one that was killed here,
like the article said.
- Black wife?
- Mhmm.
Well, you know what they
say about going black.
Shut up.
- You know all about that.
- Shut up, shut up.
Seriously.
It felt like he really
loved her, you know?
Like I love you?
Your mom called by the way.
She said something about...
She told me what happened.
What do you mean?
[Roe] She said when you were
six, you went down a slide,
got stung by a bunch of bees,
and you were never the same since.
Yeah?
She just wanted to tell us to have fun,
go have a good time.
Okay.
You're having fun, right?
Yeah.
(both laughing)
(leaves rustling)
(birds squawking)
(eerie music)
(distant scream)
(chickens clucking)
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah, stay with me.
Everything's going to be okay.
(ground crunching)
(Sarah screams)
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah.
Everything's going to be okay.
Sarah, stay with me.
(water splashes)
Babe.
Babe. Nah, nah. Get in, man.
No, let me just get a
little bit of the sun.
I wanna relax.
When Godwin's out here,
cutting grass all loud,
how you gonna relax?
You know, he's making so much noise.
[Roe] He's waking up the chickens, man.
But ironically, your phone
doesn't make any noise.
It's like the universe told everybody
to leave us alone today.
You're right. Let me see. Hold on.
I know why.
There's no service here.
There's no WiFi either.
What if my mom tries to
contact me or something?
Why are you always so
worried about your mom?
I can't even take a trip
without you bringing her up.
That's what I'm here for.
That's what you're supposed to talk to me.
I know babe. I know.
It's just...
It's just what?
I've been trying to give you space,
but it just doesn't seem
like I'm getting anywhere.
You got me stuck in the dark here.
I don't know what to do now.
I don't know what to do next at all.
(eerie music)
So, you're not gonna tell me nothing?
All right.
- Don't.
- [Roe] All right.
- Don't.
- [Roe] All right.
- No.
- [Roe] Oh no.
All that nope? All that nope?
- No.
- [Roe] All that? No.
- Stop it, no, no, no.
- No, no, no.
Now it's no, no, no.
(water splashes)
Yeah, yeah.
All that no, no, no crap.
(Eliza laughing)
(bees buzz)
(eerie music)
(heavy breathing)
Oh my goodness.
Oh my God, babe.
You gotta wake me up like that?
You don't feel that?
We're in here sweating balls.
And I think the electricity's out, babe.
I'm at 40%.
(light switch rattles)
Yeah, baby. I think we're out of power.
(Eliza groans)
(upbeat music)
(muffled singing)
I've been guilty of many sins,
most of which
I deeply regret.
But I found a way to cure
the blight of racial hate.
Yo, Mr. Godwin.
It's Roe. We need to talk to you, man.
(knocking)
Baby, we shouldn't.
Why not?
I'm just a black man
entering a white man's house
without his authority.
What could possibly go wrong?
Come on.
Come on.
(door shuts)
Of course Godwin got power at his house.
I guess so.
(clock ticking)
(Eliza sighs)
Baby.
It doesn't feel right to be here.
Yo Godwin. You here?
(Eliza shushes)
Come on. Let's check upstairs.
Oh no. I'm not going up there.
Roe.
Roe.
(stairs creak)
Baby.
Roe.
Roe?
(eerie music)
(door rattling)
Roe?
Roe.
What's up, baby? What happened?
What are you two you doing here?
Nothing, man. We were
looking for you, I swear.
You have to come with me.
We're going. We're going.
We're gone. We're gone.
I'm sorry.
[Roe] We apologize.
[Eliza] I'm sorry, Mr. Godwin.
My apologies. I really
didn't mean to scare you.
[Roe] Yeah, sure you didn't.
Power's out. AC's not going.
I can't even charge my phone.
We haven't had a WiFi
signal since we got here.
I'll make sure I take care of that.
But since you stopped by, why
don't you join me for dinner?
[Roe] No, we're not joining
you for no dinner, man.
We're trying to get our
power turned back on.
We kind of already had plans set,
and you should be fixing the power anyway.
Not cooking, right?
No, we'll join you.
Okay.
Whatever.
Excellent. 8:00 PM.
Perfect.
And if you need me next
time, just ring the doorbell.
Why you always putting us in this stuff?
[Dr. Godwin] Yeah.
Just ring the doorbell.
Don't worry about the lights.
I'll make sure they get turned on.
Bye.
Thank you.
(eerie music)
(dirt crunching)
What you burying?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What, Godwin don't let his
workers take showers, man?
I got a shower right up in
my room if you need a piece.
You all good, man.
I'm Eliza's boyfriend.
She told me all about you.
You Don, right?
Right.
How long you known Mr. Godwin?
I've known Mr. Godwin for a long time.
[Roe] Where you from?
Here.
Well, I just needed a little
help finding Mr. Godwin, man.
He told us he'd have the
electricity back on hours ago.
Here we are still with nothing,
and we hell a got to charge these phones.
There's no reception here.
Yeah, I know.
You're right.
There isn't. And what's
up with Mr. Godwin anyway?
That's a strange dude.
Mr. Godwin was a good
doctor. He saved me.
I was on the streets.
Anyway, I'm sorry, if you-
Hold on, man.
My bad, my bad, my bad, my
bad. I ain't mean to hurt you.
Just let Mr. Godwin know
we need the electricity
turned back on.
We ain't trying to sleep
in no sauna tonight.
(man whoops)
I'm at 20%.
Not that it matters.
Mine's dead.
We'll talk to him about it at dinner.
Dinner?
You still trying to go to this dinner?
Let's ditch the dinner,
cut our vacation short,
and spend our last day in a
hotel with air conditioning.
Baby, you heard what I heard.
There's somebody behind
that door at Godwin's house.
I know it. We are going to that dinner.
Whatever.
Baby.
Don't Baby me.
(gentle piano music)
[Dr. Godwin] I'm really
actually very happy
that you decided to come over.
I like to get to know my guests
a little bit more intimately.
Thank you for having us.
We really appreciate the hospitality.
[Dr. Godwin] There you go.
[Roe] Thanks.
So, what you planning on cooking
up for us tonight anyway?
[Dr. Godwin] Oh, it's called haggis.
Haggis?
Yeah, you take cow's
heart, lungs and liver,
and cram it all into a sheep stomach.
Then you boil it. That's
the way I prepare it.
It's remarkably delicious,
combined together.
[Eliza] Thank you.
[Dr. Godwin] My pleasure.
Dig in.
Bon appetit, I guess.
How do you like it?
It's better than expected.
It's better than expected.
[Radio] You're listening
to 102.4 The Hub.
ICE officers are planning
on sweeping the streets
of sanctuary cities.
Advocacy groups are recommending
undocumented immigrants
stay indoors to avoid being
identified and detained.
Are you okay, Mr. Godwin?
I just can't listen to news
anymore. It's too upsetting.
You're always hearing about
some cop who guns down
an innocent African American,
political figures who take
advantage of their position.
Undocumented immigrants who
have to scurry like rats
in the sewers.
[Roe] You know what, Mr. Godwin?
I definitely feel you, man.
Excuse my French but people these days
are a fucked little up.
Unity is the answer.
The end of division.
The welding
of people, as one.
Seems to me that as long
as we are all different,
we're gonna find something
to hate about each other.
May I use your bathroom, please?
Sure, it's right down the hall.
Thank you. Excuse me.
[Dr. Godwin] What's your blood type?
I wonder what your blood says about you.
[Roe] I don't know too
many people that walk around
and know their blood type.
(eerie music)
(stairs creak)
(door squeaks)
[Eliza] Do a lot of people
go missing around here?
(floorboards creaking)
(blowtorch hisses)
(Eliza screams)
[Roe] Baby, where are you?
There was somebody.
There was somebody here.
Somebody with a mask, with a torch.
Godwin, who the hell is
in the house with us, man?
No one. I live alone.
And Don is on the other side of the ranch
in his sleeping quarters.
No, no, no, no. I saw somebody.
I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.
Baby. It's okay, baby.
Baby, it's all right. It's
all right. It's okay, baby.
Come with me.
Babe, me and Godwin just got back
from searching the whole property,
and we didn't see nobody out there.
And when I took this trip,
it was more so of a vacation
so you can come out
here, get some fresh air,
clear your mind type of thing.
It seems like it's doing
more harm than good.
I just feel like I'm fucking up.
(Roe sighs)
We should have went to the beach.
Can never, ever go wrong with the beach.
There was someone in that room with me.
Seriously, babe?
[Eliza] I need you to believe me.
Babe, stress is a hell of a drug?
You know, stress will
have you seeing, hearing,
feeling all type of things
that ain't even there.
[Eliza] Stop.
[Roe] Babe, I don't get it.
You know what? I do get it. I understand.
Doesn't mean I gotta like this shit.
Not everything's a
fucking joke, you know?
There was someone in that room.
What is this?
"Separation by race is the greatest evil
perpetrated by humankind.
The color of someone's skin can cause
so much division and hatred.
I can't tolerate that.
If my experiment is successful,
it will mean the solution to the ugliness
of racial hatred and divisiveness.
This being will be incapable
of hatred towards others
solely based on color of their skin.
"The creation will be from
everywhere and from nowhere."
The creation.
Oh my God.
(eerie music)
(Eliza panting)
Roe?
Baby?
(water splashes)
(bag rustles)
[Eliza] Don.
Don.
Hey.
Have you seen Roe? I've been
looking all over for him.
No, I haven't seen him.
They're beautiful, aren't they?
Horses are more clever than people.
They can see what we can't see.
Like Thunderbolt.
He does not allow anyone to ride him
who doesn't have a good heart.
Eliza, are you understanding
what I'm telling you?
Listen, Don, I don't
have time for this, okay?
We don't have any power.
We can't charge our phones.
We have no communication
with the outside world.
Roe and I have to go, please.
Does Godwin have a landline
so I can call for a ride?
- [Don] Landline?
- Yes.
There's no landline? What about WiFi?
How did he approve our
request to stay here?
There was no problem with
electricity, was there?
These horses, they can travel miles.
At least they'll take
you to the nearest town.
- Yes.
- [Don] Eliza,
are you paying attention?
Get on a horse and leave.
Yes. I need to find Roe, okay?
Roe.
Don't take too long.
Roe.
Roe.
Come on.
(eerie music)
[Don] I remember when
we were little kids
and we used to play hide and go seek.
I hated that game.
But she was a good finder,
so I was always the hider.
One day she took so long
finding me that I fell asleep.
And Mother,
Mother panic.
I remember waking up,
going into the kitchen for a snack,
but instead I was greeted by
a room filled with police.
Mother run to me and
she hugged me so hard.
But Sarah,
after seeing the trouble
that she had caused,
and the pain in mother's eyes,
well, she never wanted to
play head and seek again.
This should never have happened to her.
Doctor, she would've never wanted this.
Roe and Eliza? They're good people.
What is wrong with you?
They were all good people.
Start the preparations.
(ground crunches)
(insects chirping)
Roe.
Come on.
(gate rattles)
(ground crunches)
Roe?
(ominous music)
(phone dings)
[Mom] They just found some bodies there,
near where you guys went.
Call me back.
You have to get out of there. Call me.
The police found a bunch of bodies.
They're all missing the
legs, the arms, the skin.
(keys rattling)
(ticking)
Eliza, baby. Eliza, baby, wake up. Baby.
There was a man. There was somebody.
There was some...
The man in the welder's mask?
Yes, yes.
Maybe I am so sorry I
did not believe you, baby.
It's okay. It's okay. Listen.
We need to get to the horses, okay?
[Roe] How are we gonna-
It's the only way off this ranch.
(door rattles)
[Roe] Shit.
Shit.
Godwin, what the hell is going on here?
In some ways, you remind
me a lot of my wife and I.
You're just gonna be perfect
for my little experiment.
Experiment?
First of all, we ain't taking
part in no fucking experiment.
And second of all, what's
this obsession with race, man?
You're a fucking closet racist.
What did you call me?
So, then why you got us
in here all trapped up?
So you can tell us about Martin
Luther King and Malcolm X?
[Dr. Godwin] After
many failed undertakings,
I had the Genesis created.
This one did not fail me.
Now, both of you are gonna
participate in my experiment.
[Roe] Man, we ain't
participating in nothing.
You don't need us, man. Let us go.
Sir.
Mr. Godwin, please. We don't
want any trouble. Okay?
We just wanna go home.
I promise you, we will not
tell anybody about this place.
Just please let us go.
[Dr. Godwin] My wife was taken from me
from this very property.
She was killed by my Puritan brother,
and I realized this was
not an isolated issue.
So I had to do something about it.
Duke, show them.
Oh my God.
Most of my creations are made up
of black, white, and Latino.
And to think that he
was once bigoted deputy
who thought I tainted the bloodline.
Let me outta here, William.
People are gonna come looking for me.
[Dr. Godwin] They
never looked for Sarah.
They're not gonna look for you.
When I'm done with you, they're
not gonna recognize you.
No one's gonna recognize your face.
You're gonna pay for what you did.
After lobotomy, he had
an attitude adjustment,
and my welding techniques
revolutionized his body.
And also we have Don. Don, come here.
He offered me his arm.
A wonderful donation, don't you think?
Look, I can appreciate your experiment.
Bravo to you for coming up
with, let's call it a solution,
but you don't need Godwin.
Let us go.
But you're not seeing
the bigger picture.
You're part of the solution.
I need your body parts.
Don, take them to the surgery room.
Baby, run. Eliza, go.
(light smashes)
Go find her. Go get her, now.
(Roe groaning)
(tense music)
This is all for the greater good.
(eerie music)
(muffled shouting)
(thunder rumbling)
(Eliza screams)
[Roe] You complaining about
me bringing extra underwear
and condoms and you gonna pack that?
[Eliza] You know, it
makes me feel safer.
I'm supposed to make you feel safe.
That's what these right here are for.
I know. I promise I'll have
it in my bag the whole time.
I won't take it out. It's
just for my peace of mind.
Babe, babe, babe, babe.
Just take it with you.
If it makes you feel safer, just bring it.
If you wanna bring the gun, bring the gun.
(Eliza panting)
Deputy?
This belongs to you.
I'll go with you.
(Roe screaming)
(meat squelching)
(muffled singing)
(Roe screaming)
(Eliza screams)
Roe.
(Eliza sobs)
Don.
Roe needs more anesthesia.
What have you done to him?
You know, good parts are hard to find.
I wasn't able to save my wife,
but I feel she's with us in many ways.
Doctor.
My arm.
Don, we'll test Roe's blood type,
and if it's a match, we'll do
cross matching tissue typing.
I promise you. This time, it will stick.
I need more soldering material.
Don. Watch them.
Make sure she doesn't get away.
Don.
Don. Look at me.
You got to help, please.
You've got to help.
I can't. I can't stop it.
It's too late.
It's never too late.
It's never too late.
It's never too late, I promise you.
I warned you.
I told you to go.
Please.
Now it's too late.
[Eliza] No. You're a good
person. It's never too late.
Do the right thing. Come on.
You were a cop, please.
Please. You used to help people like me.
(machines buzzing)
Please. Please help us.
(Eliza sobs)
Baby, I'm so sorry.
Help us.
I'm sorry.
This is for you, Sarah.
What's going on here?
Lay down.
Eliza,
you're making a mistake.
It's Eliza. Lay down.
Duke.
Duke.
[Roe] Baby.
(Roe coughs)
[Dr. Godwin] Duke.
(gun fires)
(Dr. Godwin moans)
[Eliza] Don, put him on the table.
[Dr. Godwin] My wife.
Sarah.
Sarah.
You've gone too far.
You've gone too far.
She would've never wanted this.
Kill him.
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah.
Sarah.
You're perfect.
You're perfect.
(Dr. Godwin screaming)
I'm sorry,
Sarah.
(eerie music)
I loved her.
She hurt me.
Pain for Sarah.
(Sarah choking)
I can't stop.
[Duke] Mistake I make.
[Dr. Godwin] What did you do?
What did you do?
Sarah.
Everything is going to be okay.
Sarah, stay with me.
[Duke] I pay price.
We all pay.
I can help.
(birds chirping)
(dirt crunching)
(swing creaks)
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
(mellow music)
So, you must have
really enjoyed your stay
if you're coming back?
I did, actually. It's
exactly what I needed.
A weekend to reflect and cope.
I've actually found a way to unwind.
[Taxi Driver] Well, that's good.
You're all by yourself.
Where's your boyfriend at?
Does that mean you're single now?
(Driver laughs)
(ominous music)
[Driver] Alrighty. We're here.
Do you wanna come in?
We can have some drinks.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Let's
have some drinks. Why not?
(muffled singing)
(phone beeping)
Hey mommy.
[Mom] Eliza, where have you been?
I've been going crazy
trying to get a hold of you.
I'm sorry, mom. I've
been busy, that's all.
But everything's fine.
[Mom] You had me so worried.
Tell me, are you okay?
How are you feeling?
I haven't felt like this in months.
I feel free.
[Mom] Oh, what a relief.
What about Roe? How is he doing?
I think he's gonna be just fine.
And I think I'm ready to
tell him what happened to me.
[Mom] But what happened over there?
When are you coming home?
I love you.
[Mom] Eliza, don't
hang up. What happened?
(Driver sighs)
What the fuck?
What the fuck's she put in my drink?
Fuck.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
(driver whimpers)
Help me.
(driver groans)
Somebody.
Help me.
Help. Please, somebody help me.
Let me out of here.
What did you do to me? Help.
(dramatic hip hop music)
Yeah, yeah, uh
I do not hear what he talking about
I cannot take on the word of mouth
Ain't got much time
and I'd wear it out
They asking cause we in building
Hating on me, I don't get it
My niggas, we already faded
I usually think about suicide
Got no other comfort around me
Tell me what it is
Got a couple things
I can put on in my rim
I can bring my (indistinct)
But they want a lot of things
I made a list
Bring my wrist over making switch
I cannot afford to be a bitch
I have seen how quick
these people switch
Hold it down, trust I'm getting rich
You can kiss my ass
With all that simple play
I don't want nothing from you
Cheap niggas acting fake
They hating to see me billing
They get on my lane
Money can't do it and people change
And I ain't got no
time for the problems
That be in my head
Insecurity you got, I'm
not the one to blame
I don't let my anger builds
Bitch I'm faded
Stay in your lane
Keeping niggas from draining
Bring on the night, I'm a go getter
Locked crew, we all smoke fatties
I see with my eyes a full desire
To be suicidal, you see my revival
Tell me what it is
Got a couple things I
can put on in my rim
I can bring my red (indistinct)
But they want a lot of things
I made a list
Bring on my wrist that made me switch
I cannot afford to be a bitch
(eerie music)
(dirt crunching)
(insects chirping)
[Don] Doctor.
You're next.
We're gonna get you all fixed up.
(Dr. Godwin groans)
(upbeat country music)
There's a whole lot of trouble
Lot of trouble going on
There's a whole lot of people
Lot of people going down
Body bags are coming home
Little children all alone
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
Now there's a whole lot of hustlers
A lot of hustling going on
There's a whole lot of writing
Lot of writing on the wall
The blind leading the blind
A lot of trouble on my mind
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
You're gonna go, go, go
to the front of the line
They tell you so, so and so
They left their troubles behind
The home front is everywhere
A lot of homes in disrepair
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
There's a whole lot of trouble
Those who claim they know it all
Waving their flags and shouting
Babalon is going to fall
The drones are hitting home
Mortar made the blood and bones
We are mired in dissent
But settle for consent
(rain spattering)
(thunder rumbles)
(eerie music)
(indistinct shouting)
(indistinct shouting)
(sheets rustling)
(muffled shouting)
[Roe] Baby. Baby, what
are you doing out there?
Baby, what are you?
Baby. Baby. Calm down.
It's okay.
Baby, calm down.
(Eliza sobbing)
Calm down.
It's okay.
Come on. Let's go inside.
[Eliza] Hey Mom.
[Mom] Hey honey. How are you?
It happened again last night.
[Mom] Oh, sweetie.
Don't tell me we were sleepwalking
again. Did Roe see you?
Que pena.
Yeah. He actually
helped me come out of it.
[Mom] Oh my God. This always
happens when you're stressed.
Even when you were a little girl.
Are you okay, mi hijita?
You know I'm not.
It's becoming more intense.
[Mom] Have you been seeing your doctor?
He's not a magician, Mom. He's a shrink.
Listen, I don't wanna talk about it.
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
And a pill isn't gonna help me either.
[Mom] But honey, you've only
been back for a little while.
You have to give this process time.
Talk to your psychiatrist,
mija. It's good for you.
But if you keep bottling
everything inside,
eventually...
(Mom speaking Spanish)
What does that even mean, Mom?
[Mom] It means when something
breaks inside your head,
it's really hard to put
it back together again.
You need to find a
healthy way to de-stress,
because if you don't, you're
not gonna like who you become.
I gotta go, okay? Bye.
(car rumbling)
[Roe] You talk to mama bear?
[Eliza] Yeah.
You tell her what happened last night?
Yeah.
She's a little worried.
I am too.
[Roe] And me three.
I'm saying,
it's not like you talk to me
about these types of things,
and I just wanna know why.
Do you remember how happy and
stress-free you used to be?
It was such a good time.
It really was.
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
My mom would send me to
my grandparents' farm.
I spent my summers breathing in fresh air,
chasing chickens, riding horses.
But the point is every time I was there,
I was always super relaxed, stress free.
So you wanna take me to
your grandparents' farm?
The farm was sold a long time ago.
My grandparents died right behind it.
But I did see this badass ranch online.
I figured out a little
stress free activity.
It is a little far, but I do
think it's gonna be worth it.
Here, I'll send you
the link. Check it out.
We'll be out riding horses, ATVs.
We'll practically have
the property to ourselves.
I'm gonna submit a request.
Let's see if they respond.
It does sound like a good idea.
[Roe] And if you decide
you don't want to come,
that's fine, because I'm
just gonna take your mom
with me instead.
My mom?
Oh yeah. Your mom.
Solo time with the suegra?
[Roe] Yeah. Just a little bonding.
Solo time with the suegra.
Bonding, bonding, bonding.
I haven't ridden horses
since I was a little girl, so.
[Roe] Boom, there we go, shorty.
We got the ranch for the whole weekend.
Baby, I love you so much.
[Eliza] Okay, don't expect
me to chase any chickens.
[Roe] Hilarious.
(eerie music)
(sack rustling)
(phone dings)
(radio crackles)
(muffled singing)
(meat squelching)
(man hums to music)
[Man] Be carried on.
(water splashing)
(dirt crunching)
(ominous music)
(metal clangs)
(mellow rock music)
How many pairs of
underwear are you gonna take?
It there's one thing I ever
learned from my mama girl,
you can never have enough
pairs of clean underwear.
How much clean underwear are you taking?
Are you seriously taking those?
What, these? These?
Is one box not enough?
Look, baby, I get it.
You're not ready.
It's not something you're
trying to do right now,
and I respect it.
(bag zips)
You complaining about me
bringing extra underwear
and condoms and you gonna pack that?
(train horn blares)
[Announcer] Ladies and
gentlemen, this is the last stop.
Please mind the gap between
train and the platform edge.
Thank you.
(muffled conversation)
(train rattling)
Didn't have any protein bars,
babe, so I got you an apple.
Thank you.
This guy looking at us?
That guy was looking at us.
Just ignore him.
(train horn blares)
(upbeat Latin music)
(man speaking Spanish)
It looks like these guys
were walking the horse.
Open up?
[Eliza] Boo.
(Eliza laughs)
Yeah, I'm really not
good at scaring people.
I'm so sorry.
I'm really not good
at acting scared either.
That's all I want, one of these coconuts.
[Eliza] Oh, this is nice.
Wow.
- You gotta get on this.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Oh my God. Okay.
(Eliza groans)
This place is kind of nice.
- Yeah, it is.
- We should have stayed here.
Do you know how far
we are from the ranch?
Forever, but that's cool.
Because nobody can get to us.
None of my friends will bother us.
We'll be good.
Here we go.
(knife thudding)
(phone beeps)
I like this coconut.
I bet it's good.
I don't know if this
driver's gonna want a mango
or a strawberry, but...
(eerie music)
Hey.
Dust my feet off for you.
Appreciate you making
a stop for us, brother.
Yeah, no problem.
(distant birds squawking)
Do a lot of people
go missing around here?
No.
I mean, there's more cows
than people out here,
so if one person goes
missing, everybody freaks out.
You know? That's like a
quarter of the population.
Means I can get me a
nice little cheeseburger.
You take a lot of people to
where we're staying at, brother?
[Taxi Driver] Nah, nah, not really.
I mean, I know the area well.
You guys are going pretty far out there.
It's nothing for miles
and miles and miles away.
My grandma would say you
guys going to culo del mundo.
- Cule el mundo-
- [Eliza] It just means,
"Far away."
Please don't say it.
[Roe] sorry.
It's pronounced, "Culo del
mundo." You should try that.
- [Roe] Culo El Mundo.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Roe] Babe. You gotta teach me that.
I mean, that's what we want.
We wanna be away from the city.
Just relax.
Get away from everybody and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you guys are
looking for secluded,
that's definitely what
you're gonna get out there.
It's gonna be just you and
a shit-ton of mosquitoes.
It's gonna be a party.
(ominous music)
[GPS] Your destination is on the left.
You've reached your destination.
(leaves rustling)
Alrighty, folks. We're here.
Okay.
I hope it looks better on the inside.
Yeah, I like it. It looks private.
Alrighty folks. I hope you
had a great ride with me.
Should leave that in the
comments. Five stars.
You know? A little tip wouldn't hurt.
- [Roe] Absolutely.
- Don't forget about that.
And you?
Good luck.
Alright. You guys have a good one.
(door shuts)
Good luck?
Good luck?
(tires squeal)
Tip? I'll give him a tip.
How about he stop kissing
ladies' hands he don't know?
Wait. I don't feel
right coming in like this.
Babe, we paid for the whole weekend.
They know that we're coming.
(gate squeaks)
(gate rattles)
[Roe] This house has a history, man.
Says on here the house
is over 100 years old.
Survived hurricanes,
floods, everything, man.
Even-
What?
Nothing.
- What?
- Nothing, babe.
We just got here.
I don't wanna ruin your
image of the place.
Give me your phone.
Someone was killed here?
That's what the article says.
But it happened a long time ago.
One of those, "We don't take
too kindly to your type,"
sort of things.
You know like how your dad tried me
the first day you brought me home.
Okay. You don't need to
bring that up. Thank you.
Wow, this place looks nothing
like what we saw online.
Telling me, man. Nothing.
(ominous music)
Okay.
See all this art that he has in here?
Very interesting.
[Roe] All this cultural stuff.
[Eliza] He's open minded.
It reminds you of what?
[Roe] "Make yourselves at home,
and we'll catch up in the morning.
Much regards, Mr. Godwin."
Well, that's enough for me.
Yeah, lets
find some food.
(leaves rustling)
(low growl)
(static buzzing)
(knocking)
[Roe] Knocking on our door
so early in the morning?
(chicken clucking)
Roe Sterling?
[Roe] Yeah, we got your note last night,
so we just went ahead and
made ourselves comfortable.
I hope that's all right.
Yes, it's fine.
You brought your girlfriend
with you as well, huh?
Babe.
The owner's here.
[Eliza] Good morning.
Hello.
Good morning.
I'm Eliza.
Lisa. Lovely to meet
you. I'm William Godwin.
Thank you for having us.
[Dr. Godwin] My pleasure.
Well, Mr. Godwin, to be 100% honest,
we weren't expecting a
white man, cock in hand,
to be waking us up this
early in the morning.
So if you don't mind, we-
But here on the ranch,
we like to rise with
the sun and the horses.
They're on their best behavior
right after breakfast.
Okay, well, we'll join you.
[Dr. Godwin] Great.
[Roe] All right.
[Eliza] Anything else?
It's a beautiful day.
Just give us a minute.
We'll see you soon.
Good.
(ominous music)
(horse whinnies)
(hooves clopping)
So, here he is.
Thunderbolt.
All right, Mr. Godwin. I see you.
Now, this is what I paid
all the money for, Godwin.
This is the good time right here.
Does he go fast?
[Dr. Godwin] Very fast.
Gotta.
It's okay.
I used to ride horses just
like you back at the stable,
when I was a kid.
You are just fine.
Aren't you handsome?
So, when do we get to ride them?
Okay, Eliza, I'm gonna
give you the reins.
Thank you, Mr. Godwin.
All right, all right,
all right. Okay, I got it.
Come on, baby. I thought
you were a pro at this.
Yo, I said that I rode
these things when I was a kid,
and I never said I was good at it.
It's like riding a bike, Roe.
[Roe] This is not like riding a bike.
[Eliza] Come on Roe.
[Roe] Come where? Where
are we going? Where?
(gentle music)
[Dr. Godwin] Never let's
be riding him though.
I think he's more of a ladies' man.
I hope Don and I didn't
disturb you last night.
[Eliza] Oh no.
We didn't notice...
I didn't know somebody else
was working in the ranch.
Oh yeah, I couldn't maintain
this entire ranch by myself.
(birds squawking)
(ominous music)
(quad bike rumbling)
[Dr. Godwin] Don.
Yes, Doctor?
[Dr. Godwin] Don, I
want you to meet Eliza.
Oh, sorry about the odor, by the way.
You are on a ranch.
Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
Nice to meet you. It's Eliza.
Pleasure to meet you.
[Dr. Godwin] I was
just explaining to her
that we apologize for all the loud noise
we were making last evening,
when we were working.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. We're sorry.
No, like I was telling
you, we didn't even notice.
So, nothing to apologize for.
If there's anything
we can help you with,
please, please let us know.
Thank you, Don.
Okay, then.
These we have to make sure we get them
a little bit more watered.
I'll show you the rest of the way.
[Eliza] If you don't mind me asking,
what's wrong with his hand?
Oh, Don? Yeah.
So, he was thrown from a horse
and he severed his lateral epicondal.
Fortunately, I used my medical
skills to patch him up.
Oh, you have medical skills?
I was a medic for the army.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I was a resident in surgery,
and I specialized in extremity transplant.
Cool.
Oh, I have a journal like that at home,
courtesy of my therapist.
Who's that?
I'm sorry, I keep asking
so many questions.
It's my wife.
We used to get stared at a lot,
and I always knew what
people were thinking.
Yeah, I think I can relate a little bit.
She was a victim.
(eerie music)
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have asked. I'm sorry.
Okay.
Eliza.
(quad bike rumbling)
Middle of nowhere now.
(phone ringing)
Yo, mama bear, what's good?
[Mom] Hello? I'm worried about you.
No, we're out-
[Mom] Call me, leave now.
Come home. Can you hear me?
Nah, I can't hear you.
[Mom] Bodies, they found bodies...
Shit.
(motor starts)
(chickens clucking)
[Dr. Godwin] Hey, Don.
How is it?
It's bad.
We're doing it for her.
So don't let your
sympathies get in the way.
(Don gasps)
Yes, Doctor. Because of her,
I'll follow you to the end.
(chicken squawks)
You wanna hear something
like, legit crazy?
I bet it's not as crazy
as what I have to tell you.
All right, selfish. Go first.
No, no, you go first.
All right.
So, we legit are literally in
the middle of fucking nowhere.
I must have rode that
ATV for at least an hour.
I almost ran outta gas trying to get back.
It's just nothing. Nothing but emptiness.
(Eliza coughs)
I've got the munchies.
Don't expect to get no quesadillas
or burritos or anything like that.
Driver wasn't playing when he
said we're in bum fuck Egypt.
Wait, so you're telling me
there's no Mexican place around?
Does it look like
there's a Mexican place-
[Eliza] What about Colombian place?
Cuban places?
[Roe] No. Nothing.
So, Mr. Godwin really opened up to me.
He told me that his wife,
his black wife was killed.
She's the one that was killed here,
like the article said.
- Black wife?
- Mhmm.
Well, you know what they
say about going black.
Shut up.
- You know all about that.
- Shut up, shut up.
Seriously.
It felt like he really
loved her, you know?
Like I love you?
Your mom called by the way.
She said something about...
She told me what happened.
What do you mean?
[Roe] She said when you were
six, you went down a slide,
got stung by a bunch of bees,
and you were never the same since.
Yeah?
She just wanted to tell us to have fun,
go have a good time.
Okay.
You're having fun, right?
Yeah.
(both laughing)
(leaves rustling)
(birds squawking)
(eerie music)
(distant scream)
(chickens clucking)
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah, stay with me.
Everything's going to be okay.
(ground crunching)
(Sarah screams)
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah.
Everything's going to be okay.
Sarah, stay with me.
(water splashes)
Babe.
Babe. Nah, nah. Get in, man.
No, let me just get a
little bit of the sun.
I wanna relax.
When Godwin's out here,
cutting grass all loud,
how you gonna relax?
You know, he's making so much noise.
[Roe] He's waking up the chickens, man.
But ironically, your phone
doesn't make any noise.
It's like the universe told everybody
to leave us alone today.
You're right. Let me see. Hold on.
I know why.
There's no service here.
There's no WiFi either.
What if my mom tries to
contact me or something?
Why are you always so
worried about your mom?
I can't even take a trip
without you bringing her up.
That's what I'm here for.
That's what you're supposed to talk to me.
I know babe. I know.
It's just...
It's just what?
I've been trying to give you space,
but it just doesn't seem
like I'm getting anywhere.
You got me stuck in the dark here.
I don't know what to do now.
I don't know what to do next at all.
(eerie music)
So, you're not gonna tell me nothing?
All right.
- Don't.
- [Roe] All right.
- Don't.
- [Roe] All right.
- No.
- [Roe] Oh no.
All that nope? All that nope?
- No.
- [Roe] All that? No.
- Stop it, no, no, no.
- No, no, no.
Now it's no, no, no.
(water splashes)
Yeah, yeah.
All that no, no, no crap.
(Eliza laughing)
(bees buzz)
(eerie music)
(heavy breathing)
Oh my goodness.
Oh my God, babe.
You gotta wake me up like that?
You don't feel that?
We're in here sweating balls.
And I think the electricity's out, babe.
I'm at 40%.
(light switch rattles)
Yeah, baby. I think we're out of power.
(Eliza groans)
(upbeat music)
(muffled singing)
I've been guilty of many sins,
most of which
I deeply regret.
But I found a way to cure
the blight of racial hate.
Yo, Mr. Godwin.
It's Roe. We need to talk to you, man.
(knocking)
Baby, we shouldn't.
Why not?
I'm just a black man
entering a white man's house
without his authority.
What could possibly go wrong?
Come on.
Come on.
(door shuts)
Of course Godwin got power at his house.
I guess so.
(clock ticking)
(Eliza sighs)
Baby.
It doesn't feel right to be here.
Yo Godwin. You here?
(Eliza shushes)
Come on. Let's check upstairs.
Oh no. I'm not going up there.
Roe.
Roe.
(stairs creak)
Baby.
Roe.
Roe?
(eerie music)
(door rattling)
Roe?
Roe.
What's up, baby? What happened?
What are you two you doing here?
Nothing, man. We were
looking for you, I swear.
You have to come with me.
We're going. We're going.
We're gone. We're gone.
I'm sorry.
[Roe] We apologize.
[Eliza] I'm sorry, Mr. Godwin.
My apologies. I really
didn't mean to scare you.
[Roe] Yeah, sure you didn't.
Power's out. AC's not going.
I can't even charge my phone.
We haven't had a WiFi
signal since we got here.
I'll make sure I take care of that.
But since you stopped by, why
don't you join me for dinner?
[Roe] No, we're not joining
you for no dinner, man.
We're trying to get our
power turned back on.
We kind of already had plans set,
and you should be fixing the power anyway.
Not cooking, right?
No, we'll join you.
Okay.
Whatever.
Excellent. 8:00 PM.
Perfect.
And if you need me next
time, just ring the doorbell.
Why you always putting us in this stuff?
[Dr. Godwin] Yeah.
Just ring the doorbell.
Don't worry about the lights.
I'll make sure they get turned on.
Bye.
Thank you.
(eerie music)
(dirt crunching)
What you burying?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What, Godwin don't let his
workers take showers, man?
I got a shower right up in
my room if you need a piece.
You all good, man.
I'm Eliza's boyfriend.
She told me all about you.
You Don, right?
Right.
How long you known Mr. Godwin?
I've known Mr. Godwin for a long time.
[Roe] Where you from?
Here.
Well, I just needed a little
help finding Mr. Godwin, man.
He told us he'd have the
electricity back on hours ago.
Here we are still with nothing,
and we hell a got to charge these phones.
There's no reception here.
Yeah, I know.
You're right.
There isn't. And what's
up with Mr. Godwin anyway?
That's a strange dude.
Mr. Godwin was a good
doctor. He saved me.
I was on the streets.
Anyway, I'm sorry, if you-
Hold on, man.
My bad, my bad, my bad, my
bad. I ain't mean to hurt you.
Just let Mr. Godwin know
we need the electricity
turned back on.
We ain't trying to sleep
in no sauna tonight.
(man whoops)
I'm at 20%.
Not that it matters.
Mine's dead.
We'll talk to him about it at dinner.
Dinner?
You still trying to go to this dinner?
Let's ditch the dinner,
cut our vacation short,
and spend our last day in a
hotel with air conditioning.
Baby, you heard what I heard.
There's somebody behind
that door at Godwin's house.
I know it. We are going to that dinner.
Whatever.
Baby.
Don't Baby me.
(gentle piano music)
[Dr. Godwin] I'm really
actually very happy
that you decided to come over.
I like to get to know my guests
a little bit more intimately.
Thank you for having us.
We really appreciate the hospitality.
[Dr. Godwin] There you go.
[Roe] Thanks.
So, what you planning on cooking
up for us tonight anyway?
[Dr. Godwin] Oh, it's called haggis.
Haggis?
Yeah, you take cow's
heart, lungs and liver,
and cram it all into a sheep stomach.
Then you boil it. That's
the way I prepare it.
It's remarkably delicious,
combined together.
[Eliza] Thank you.
[Dr. Godwin] My pleasure.
Dig in.
Bon appetit, I guess.
How do you like it?
It's better than expected.
It's better than expected.
[Radio] You're listening
to 102.4 The Hub.
ICE officers are planning
on sweeping the streets
of sanctuary cities.
Advocacy groups are recommending
undocumented immigrants
stay indoors to avoid being
identified and detained.
Are you okay, Mr. Godwin?
I just can't listen to news
anymore. It's too upsetting.
You're always hearing about
some cop who guns down
an innocent African American,
political figures who take
advantage of their position.
Undocumented immigrants who
have to scurry like rats
in the sewers.
[Roe] You know what, Mr. Godwin?
I definitely feel you, man.
Excuse my French but people these days
are a fucked little up.
Unity is the answer.
The end of division.
The welding
of people, as one.
Seems to me that as long
as we are all different,
we're gonna find something
to hate about each other.
May I use your bathroom, please?
Sure, it's right down the hall.
Thank you. Excuse me.
[Dr. Godwin] What's your blood type?
I wonder what your blood says about you.
[Roe] I don't know too
many people that walk around
and know their blood type.
(eerie music)
(stairs creak)
(door squeaks)
[Eliza] Do a lot of people
go missing around here?
(floorboards creaking)
(blowtorch hisses)
(Eliza screams)
[Roe] Baby, where are you?
There was somebody.
There was somebody here.
Somebody with a mask, with a torch.
Godwin, who the hell is
in the house with us, man?
No one. I live alone.
And Don is on the other side of the ranch
in his sleeping quarters.
No, no, no, no. I saw somebody.
I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy.
Baby. It's okay, baby.
Baby, it's all right. It's
all right. It's okay, baby.
Come with me.
Babe, me and Godwin just got back
from searching the whole property,
and we didn't see nobody out there.
And when I took this trip,
it was more so of a vacation
so you can come out
here, get some fresh air,
clear your mind type of thing.
It seems like it's doing
more harm than good.
I just feel like I'm fucking up.
(Roe sighs)
We should have went to the beach.
Can never, ever go wrong with the beach.
There was someone in that room with me.
Seriously, babe?
[Eliza] I need you to believe me.
Babe, stress is a hell of a drug?
You know, stress will
have you seeing, hearing,
feeling all type of things
that ain't even there.
[Eliza] Stop.
[Roe] Babe, I don't get it.
You know what? I do get it. I understand.
Doesn't mean I gotta like this shit.
Not everything's a
fucking joke, you know?
There was someone in that room.
What is this?
"Separation by race is the greatest evil
perpetrated by humankind.
The color of someone's skin can cause
so much division and hatred.
I can't tolerate that.
If my experiment is successful,
it will mean the solution to the ugliness
of racial hatred and divisiveness.
This being will be incapable
of hatred towards others
solely based on color of their skin.
"The creation will be from
everywhere and from nowhere."
The creation.
Oh my God.
(eerie music)
(Eliza panting)
Roe?
Baby?
(water splashes)
(bag rustles)
[Eliza] Don.
Don.
Hey.
Have you seen Roe? I've been
looking all over for him.
No, I haven't seen him.
They're beautiful, aren't they?
Horses are more clever than people.
They can see what we can't see.
Like Thunderbolt.
He does not allow anyone to ride him
who doesn't have a good heart.
Eliza, are you understanding
what I'm telling you?
Listen, Don, I don't
have time for this, okay?
We don't have any power.
We can't charge our phones.
We have no communication
with the outside world.
Roe and I have to go, please.
Does Godwin have a landline
so I can call for a ride?
- [Don] Landline?
- Yes.
There's no landline? What about WiFi?
How did he approve our
request to stay here?
There was no problem with
electricity, was there?
These horses, they can travel miles.
At least they'll take
you to the nearest town.
- Yes.
- [Don] Eliza,
are you paying attention?
Get on a horse and leave.
Yes. I need to find Roe, okay?
Roe.
Don't take too long.
Roe.
Roe.
Come on.
(eerie music)
[Don] I remember when
we were little kids
and we used to play hide and go seek.
I hated that game.
But she was a good finder,
so I was always the hider.
One day she took so long
finding me that I fell asleep.
And Mother,
Mother panic.
I remember waking up,
going into the kitchen for a snack,
but instead I was greeted by
a room filled with police.
Mother run to me and
she hugged me so hard.
But Sarah,
after seeing the trouble
that she had caused,
and the pain in mother's eyes,
well, she never wanted to
play head and seek again.
This should never have happened to her.
Doctor, she would've never wanted this.
Roe and Eliza? They're good people.
What is wrong with you?
They were all good people.
Start the preparations.
(ground crunches)
(insects chirping)
Roe.
Come on.
(gate rattles)
(ground crunches)
Roe?
(ominous music)
(phone dings)
[Mom] They just found some bodies there,
near where you guys went.
Call me back.
You have to get out of there. Call me.
The police found a bunch of bodies.
They're all missing the
legs, the arms, the skin.
(keys rattling)
(ticking)
Eliza, baby. Eliza, baby, wake up. Baby.
There was a man. There was somebody.
There was some...
The man in the welder's mask?
Yes, yes.
Maybe I am so sorry I
did not believe you, baby.
It's okay. It's okay. Listen.
We need to get to the horses, okay?
[Roe] How are we gonna-
It's the only way off this ranch.
(door rattles)
[Roe] Shit.
Shit.
Godwin, what the hell is going on here?
In some ways, you remind
me a lot of my wife and I.
You're just gonna be perfect
for my little experiment.
Experiment?
First of all, we ain't taking
part in no fucking experiment.
And second of all, what's
this obsession with race, man?
You're a fucking closet racist.
What did you call me?
So, then why you got us
in here all trapped up?
So you can tell us about Martin
Luther King and Malcolm X?
[Dr. Godwin] After
many failed undertakings,
I had the Genesis created.
This one did not fail me.
Now, both of you are gonna
participate in my experiment.
[Roe] Man, we ain't
participating in nothing.
You don't need us, man. Let us go.
Sir.
Mr. Godwin, please. We don't
want any trouble. Okay?
We just wanna go home.
I promise you, we will not
tell anybody about this place.
Just please let us go.
[Dr. Godwin] My wife was taken from me
from this very property.
She was killed by my Puritan brother,
and I realized this was
not an isolated issue.
So I had to do something about it.
Duke, show them.
Oh my God.
Most of my creations are made up
of black, white, and Latino.
And to think that he
was once bigoted deputy
who thought I tainted the bloodline.
Let me outta here, William.
People are gonna come looking for me.
[Dr. Godwin] They
never looked for Sarah.
They're not gonna look for you.
When I'm done with you, they're
not gonna recognize you.
No one's gonna recognize your face.
You're gonna pay for what you did.
After lobotomy, he had
an attitude adjustment,
and my welding techniques
revolutionized his body.
And also we have Don. Don, come here.
He offered me his arm.
A wonderful donation, don't you think?
Look, I can appreciate your experiment.
Bravo to you for coming up
with, let's call it a solution,
but you don't need Godwin.
Let us go.
But you're not seeing
the bigger picture.
You're part of the solution.
I need your body parts.
Don, take them to the surgery room.
Baby, run. Eliza, go.
(light smashes)
Go find her. Go get her, now.
(Roe groaning)
(tense music)
This is all for the greater good.
(eerie music)
(muffled shouting)
(thunder rumbling)
(Eliza screams)
[Roe] You complaining about
me bringing extra underwear
and condoms and you gonna pack that?
[Eliza] You know, it
makes me feel safer.
I'm supposed to make you feel safe.
That's what these right here are for.
I know. I promise I'll have
it in my bag the whole time.
I won't take it out. It's
just for my peace of mind.
Babe, babe, babe, babe.
Just take it with you.
If it makes you feel safer, just bring it.
If you wanna bring the gun, bring the gun.
(Eliza panting)
Deputy?
This belongs to you.
I'll go with you.
(Roe screaming)
(meat squelching)
(muffled singing)
(Roe screaming)
(Eliza screams)
Roe.
(Eliza sobs)
Don.
Roe needs more anesthesia.
What have you done to him?
You know, good parts are hard to find.
I wasn't able to save my wife,
but I feel she's with us in many ways.
Doctor.
My arm.
Don, we'll test Roe's blood type,
and if it's a match, we'll do
cross matching tissue typing.
I promise you. This time, it will stick.
I need more soldering material.
Don. Watch them.
Make sure she doesn't get away.
Don.
Don. Look at me.
You got to help, please.
You've got to help.
I can't. I can't stop it.
It's too late.
It's never too late.
It's never too late.
It's never too late, I promise you.
I warned you.
I told you to go.
Please.
Now it's too late.
[Eliza] No. You're a good
person. It's never too late.
Do the right thing. Come on.
You were a cop, please.
Please. You used to help people like me.
(machines buzzing)
Please. Please help us.
(Eliza sobs)
Baby, I'm so sorry.
Help us.
I'm sorry.
This is for you, Sarah.
What's going on here?
Lay down.
Eliza,
you're making a mistake.
It's Eliza. Lay down.
Duke.
Duke.
[Roe] Baby.
(Roe coughs)
[Dr. Godwin] Duke.
(gun fires)
(Dr. Godwin moans)
[Eliza] Don, put him on the table.
[Dr. Godwin] My wife.
Sarah.
Sarah.
You've gone too far.
You've gone too far.
She would've never wanted this.
Kill him.
[Dr. Godwin] Sarah.
Sarah.
You're perfect.
You're perfect.
(Dr. Godwin screaming)
I'm sorry,
Sarah.
(eerie music)
I loved her.
She hurt me.
Pain for Sarah.
(Sarah choking)
I can't stop.
[Duke] Mistake I make.
[Dr. Godwin] What did you do?
What did you do?
Sarah.
Everything is going to be okay.
Sarah, stay with me.
[Duke] I pay price.
We all pay.
I can help.
(birds chirping)
(dirt crunching)
(swing creaks)
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
(mellow music)
So, you must have
really enjoyed your stay
if you're coming back?
I did, actually. It's
exactly what I needed.
A weekend to reflect and cope.
I've actually found a way to unwind.
[Taxi Driver] Well, that's good.
You're all by yourself.
Where's your boyfriend at?
Does that mean you're single now?
(Driver laughs)
(ominous music)
[Driver] Alrighty. We're here.
Do you wanna come in?
We can have some drinks.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Let's
have some drinks. Why not?
(muffled singing)
(phone beeping)
Hey mommy.
[Mom] Eliza, where have you been?
I've been going crazy
trying to get a hold of you.
I'm sorry, mom. I've
been busy, that's all.
But everything's fine.
[Mom] You had me so worried.
Tell me, are you okay?
How are you feeling?
I haven't felt like this in months.
I feel free.
[Mom] Oh, what a relief.
What about Roe? How is he doing?
I think he's gonna be just fine.
And I think I'm ready to
tell him what happened to me.
[Mom] But what happened over there?
When are you coming home?
I love you.
[Mom] Eliza, don't
hang up. What happened?
(Driver sighs)
What the fuck?
What the fuck's she put in my drink?
Fuck.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
(driver whimpers)
Help me.
(driver groans)
Somebody.
Help me.
Help. Please, somebody help me.
Let me out of here.
What did you do to me? Help.
(dramatic hip hop music)
Yeah, yeah, uh
I do not hear what he talking about
I cannot take on the word of mouth
Ain't got much time
and I'd wear it out
They asking cause we in building
Hating on me, I don't get it
My niggas, we already faded
I usually think about suicide
Got no other comfort around me
Tell me what it is
Got a couple things
I can put on in my rim
I can bring my (indistinct)
But they want a lot of things
I made a list
Bring my wrist over making switch
I cannot afford to be a bitch
I have seen how quick
these people switch
Hold it down, trust I'm getting rich
You can kiss my ass
With all that simple play
I don't want nothing from you
Cheap niggas acting fake
They hating to see me billing
They get on my lane
Money can't do it and people change
And I ain't got no
time for the problems
That be in my head
Insecurity you got, I'm
not the one to blame
I don't let my anger builds
Bitch I'm faded
Stay in your lane
Keeping niggas from draining
Bring on the night, I'm a go getter
Locked crew, we all smoke fatties
I see with my eyes a full desire
To be suicidal, you see my revival
Tell me what it is
Got a couple things I
can put on in my rim
I can bring my red (indistinct)
But they want a lot of things
I made a list
Bring on my wrist that made me switch
I cannot afford to be a bitch
(eerie music)
(dirt crunching)
(insects chirping)
[Don] Doctor.
You're next.
We're gonna get you all fixed up.
(Dr. Godwin groans)
(upbeat country music)
There's a whole lot of trouble
Lot of trouble going on
There's a whole lot of people
Lot of people going down
Body bags are coming home
Little children all alone
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
Now there's a whole lot of hustlers
A lot of hustling going on
There's a whole lot of writing
Lot of writing on the wall
The blind leading the blind
A lot of trouble on my mind
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
You're gonna go, go, go
to the front of the line
They tell you so, so and so
They left their troubles behind
The home front is everywhere
A lot of homes in disrepair
We are mired in dissent
But we settle for consent
There's a whole lot of trouble
Those who claim they know it all
Waving their flags and shouting
Babalon is going to fall
The drones are hitting home
Mortar made the blood and bones
We are mired in dissent
But settle for consent
