Unnatural (2024) Movie Script
[Glass shattering]
[Crow cawing]
[Werewolf howling]
Come away from the window.
It's Bible reading time.
Jesse, what chapter are we on?
I don't know.
Ask junior. He's the smart one.
Mama, that's not a
regular wolf howl.
There's something
not right out there.
I gotta go check it out.
First Peter, chapter
seven, verse five.
That's where we
left off last night.
Leave the gun at the door.
Jesus watch over
us while we read.
Get the chairs.
Mama?
Do you think something
bad's gonna happen tonight?
What makes you say that?
I know you don't like
it when I say it, but.
But there's a lot of ghosts
pointing and yelling right now.
Do you remember what Pastor
Brian said about your ghost?
Yes, sir.
Do we need to go get him so we
can exorcise the rest of those
demons out?
No, sir.
Jesse.
Cast your anxiety on him
because he cares for you.
Be of sober mind.
Because your adversary,
the devil,
he's on the prowl
like a roaring lion.
Seeking someone to devour.
It's going to be all right.
I'm going to go scare him off.
Daddy, don't!
Daddy, don't!
Get to the bedroom.
Bar the door.
[Horse galloping]
The Lord is my Savior.
I shall not worry.
[Werewolf snarling]
You're a little one, ain't you?
Oh.
Girl, turn your head.
You don't need to see
a grown man's pecker.
You're too young.
Get on over here, boy.
Help your grandpa up off
the floor.
We don't have no
grandpa, Mister.
Ah.
I said turn your head.
And yeah, you do.
And it's in me I am him.
Oh, boy.
Go get a blanket.
Cover the body.
Your sister don't need
to be seeing this.
Neither one of you two get bit.
No, sir.
Good.
I guess I'll be leaving.
Wait. Where are you going?
After what we just seen?
And you proclaiming to
be our grandpa and all.
What if more of them
things are coming?
Ain't no more of them coming.
That's the last of the pack.
I made sure of it this time.
Can you please just stay?
What'd you say?
I'm sorry.
Uh. Not you, kid.
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to
voices in my head.
No. No, damn it.
No way.
I'm not taking them with me.
Don't.
Don't you two look at me like
I'm damn near crazy either.
I don't think you're
crazy, mister.
I can see the ghost
talking to you.
She's standing right there.
You can.
You can see the ghost.
What does she look like?
She's an older lady.
Her hair is in a bun and
she's talking to you.
But I can't hear
what she's saying.
What is she saying to you?
Never you mind
what she's saying.
You wake up, I'll be gone.
How are we supposed to
take care of ourselves?
Yeah you both look pretty
near to adults to me.
So you should be fine.
I'll be leaving in the morning.
Your ghost don't look too
happy with you right now.
All right, you know what?
I'll bury the bodies.
You happy?
Guess I'm staying for
the night.
I ain't got no choice.
Well, you two go on to bed.
Go on.
Get.
Good night, Mister.
Good night.
Well,
body ain't gonna
bury itself, I guess.
[Rooster crow]
Come, lead us in prayer.
I ain't all that good at
saying sentimental shit.
Damn it.
Got to watch my mouth.
It's okay we've heard
cuss words before.
Daddy used
to say them a lot.
Especially when he
talked about you.
What did he say about me?
He said you were studying
to be a half wit.
You couldn't teach
a chicken to cluck.
He was as slow as
a crippled turtle.
And he was a selfish
son of a bitch
who never showed up
on time for anything.
All right,
let's get this done.
Look, I don't like
being touched.
I'm sorry. It's just.
Say the damn prayer.
That's enough.
You know what?
I'm leaving.
[Whispering voices]
Jesus H Christ.
I have not agreed to
all this bullshit.
I don't like family.
I don't like kids.
And if you haven't figured it
out, I really, really, really
don't like family that are kids.
All right, let's do this.
Dear Lord.
I'm sorry Danny and his
wife, uh,
whatever her name
was, had to die.
Lord, I'm sorry that the world
is full of monsters that your
son Lucifer let loose
to kill all the dumb son of
a bitches that I really could
care less for.
But, Lord, if you think
about it in a certain way.
That's because of the way you
raised him, which means this is
kind of your fault.
But due to certain bad
decisions, I have decided to
help you out with this mess
by killing those monsters.
Anyway, if you could see it fit.
Uh, keep my grandkids safe and
keep them fed, because there is
absolutely no way in hell that
they are going to come with me.
And I do not care
what anyone says.
Amen.
I told you all to
quit following me.
I said I ain't going
to quit following you.
I find absolutely atrocious how
you'd abandoned two kids in the
middle of Cumberland Gap to
fend for themselves, especially
after what we seen last night.
You just make that word up.
What word?
Artie, arka Roscius.
Whatever.
Atrocious. It means
very, very bad.
It was made in the 16th
century and derived from.
An awful big word
for young people.
Where'd you get your
teaching from, boy?
Mama said that junior has a
special gift that he can read
before he was born.
And one summer day, he took us
to the Frankfurt Library and he
read the whole
dictionary in a week.
All them there books
in that library.
And you chose to
read the dictionary?
Well, during that time he
read three books a day.
I said he was smart.
He can build and fix things too.
Like what?
Daddy's guns and such.
He also built mama, a beautiful
music box from scratch.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He don't talk much, does he.
No. He kind of just keeps
in his own little world.
Think you can fix
my pocket watch?
Of course.
All right, kids, we're gonna
stop here for the night.
Thank God my butt
was starting to hurt.
I ain't doing it for you.
Horses gotta eat.
What's the plan
when we get there?
We're gonna scope out the
town and talk with the locals.
And you don't tell them we're
hunters looking for vampires.
You got that?
Yeah.
People get spooked
when you bring up crazy shit.
Remember El Paso?
Oh yeah. On account of it
was my first kill.
Damn chupacabras never saw
it coming.
It's Chupacabra, you dumb shit.
It's chupacabra. Bra.
Not Cappa.
Chupacabra!
Chupacabra! It's the same
thing once they're dead!
Well, they run in
packs a half a dozen.
And it was your mouth that got
us thrown in jail last time.
Two more times folks died that
night because of you.
So keep your damn piehole shut
and let me and Rex
do all the talking.
Some signs say Rex.
No children are guns
allowed in town.
All visitors must check in
at the sheriff's office.
Good thing we
ain't have no kids.
But if I get lucky at the
cathouse tonight, I might just
make me one.
No whoring around
on the first night.
You was the one that said
to talk with the locals.
And I'm pretty sure a fast
trick can tell a
whole lot of stories.
He's got a point, Rex.
I suggest you two start
thinking with your big heads
and not your little ones.
Get on your horse,
little brother.
Let's go.
Yes.
General store?
Right there.
Y'all head on down to the.
Y'all head on down to the saloon.
I'll be down there
in a few minutes.
I'm gonna grab a
couple of stogies.
Oh, hey, pick me up for some of
that hard candy,
if you don't mind.
What are you, seven years old?
Shut up, Nathan, you dick head.
Looking for something
particular, Mister?
I was hoping you had a few
cigars I could
purchase from you.
How many?
Uh, three of them.
One for me and my brothers.
You ain't too good
at this, are you?
Excuse me.
Selling things.
You ain't too good at it.
I think I've ever been in a
general store where the owner
didn't try to sell
me more than I need.
I'm just trying to get things
stocked up around here.
Help outsiders get what
they need to move on.
Sheriff prefers people passing
through to leave by sundown.
What makes you think I'm
just passing through?
Cause you got a gun on your hip.
Townsfolk don't carry
guns around here.
Yeah, I saw those signs
rolling into town.
What's your husband think
about all this disarmed stuff?
He don't.
I'm a widow.
Oh.
My apologies, ma'am.
It's okay.
It's been several years.
Sorry if I seem unsocial.
He looked a lot like you.
Well.
I don't know if
that's a good thing.
I don't think my looks do
too well with the womenfolk.
Looks don't matter much if
you're strong-willed and can
put in a good day's work.
I reckon so,
if you don't mind me asking,
what happened?
He was the sheriff of Possum
Trot when we first met.
Um, one night, him and his
deputy got ambushed
by a foreigner.
I always told them both to
use wit over confidence, but.
I don't really know what
happened, but I was told they
unloaded their guns no
farther than you to me.
And this man managed to kill
him in a matter of seconds with
his bare hands, I just.
Even Rodney didn't stand a chance, really.
And who's Rodney?
The deputy but, um,
he survived.
By the grace of God.
Where's old Rodney now?
You sure do ask a
lot of questions.
Well, looking to settle down
in a small town with a fully
stocked general store.
Maybe with a beautiful
little widow working there.
Well, he's the town sheriff.
He works his farm
during the day,
comes in at night, makes
sure the deputies are having
everyone follow his rules.
Hmm.
I ain't never been too good at
following the rules.
Neither.
But, um, best not make
the sheriff upset.
And I'll tell you what.
You check your guns in with the
deputies by sundown, and maybe
you'll see me at
the saloon tonight.
Well, then I'd be disarmed.
Well, what if you turn out to
be some big, bad, scary monster
or something?
They're scarier monsters lurking
in the shadows
than little old me.
All right, well, I'll turn
in my guns for a dance.
I don't do much
dancing these days.
But you may see me if
you do as I've said.
Yes, ma'am.
For a little dance.
Said I'm not dancing.
Friends over there.
You're hankering for a beer, Mister?
I'd appreciate that, good sir.
Y'all done with this bobbery?
We got some business to discuss.
Oh man.
This my brother,
is heaven.
Tippy.
How about a few
shots of whiskey?
What do we look for when
we're dealing with vampires?
I know they're strong.
They come out at night.
They can fly.
They can't fly, but they
are strong.
And I don't want you trying
to take on one by yourself.
What about silver bullets?
That's werewolves,
you dumb shit.
If you shoot a vampire, you're
just going to piss it off.
Look, the only way to kill a vampire,
is by fire sticking
a stake through its heart.
There they are, deputy.
I told you they had
their pistols on em.
Good job Jeremiah.
Now go on home.
I still got my $2 reward,
right?
Come by tomorrow.
No need to stand up, gentlemen.
Just saw you rode in.
Just checking to see how
long y'all be staying in our
peaceful little town.
Just staying the night, deputy.
State your business.
Bought a little
land up in Paducah.
Heading over to Lexington.
Close out a little paperwork.
A lot of traveling.
It's a lot of land.
Well, boys, you can either give
me your weapons now, or you can
hang on to them, and the
sheriff will deal with you when
he gets back at sundown.
I don't think we'll be getting
rid of our guns just yet.
Shots for each of y'all
on the house.
Suit yourselves.
Sheriff's not gonna be
as reasonable as I am.
We'll take our chances.
Going once.
Going twice.
Gone.
Hey. So we're not going to take
their weapons from them.
- We're just going to.
- We wait.
- But the sheriff said.
- We wait for the sheriff.
There's something strange
about those three.
Gabe, go tell the doc his
services are going
to be needed tonight.
Why do I got to do it?
I told you to do it.
Or what?
- Now.
- We ain't scared of you.
One.
Nor that goddamn sheriff.
Two.
Well. Yes, sir.
Mr. boss man, your
wish is my command.
Closed. Come back tomorrow.
Are you serious, tippy?
You heard me.
Stay clear of alleyways
and dark places.
What's their problem?
Why is everyone leaving?
Nate, quit asking
that man questions.
We got to prepare for tonight.
The voices told me they're here.
You think the sheriff knows
anything about the vampire?
I certainly do.
The lady that owns the general
store told me her husband and
the sheriff got attacked
by a foreigner last year.
Still lives around
the same area.
She said the man dodged 12
bullets at point blank range at
lightning speed.
Ripped her husband's throat
out with his bare hands.
Now get this.
The sheriff survived.
That very same attack.
If he knew where the foreigner
was, I'm sure he'd done killed
him by now.
Maybe he thought he did.
But you can't kill a vampire by
shooting it.
They're smart, like me and you.
I seen one play dead one time.
One almost got old Jack Thomas
last year, pretending to be the
town drunk.
Nobody told me vampires
wore disguises.
There's some tricky bitches.
Maybe.
Maybe the vampires come back
to finish off the sheriff.
Better yet, the vampires in
cahoots with the sheriff.
Uh. Are you just
weak in the head?
The undead don't make
deals with the living.
They eat us, plain and simple.
Hey hey.
Hey hey, yo, pipe down.
Tonight.
Let's just gather
information and try find
out where the
Crips are tomorrow.
During the day, while they're
asleep, we'll kill
those bloodsuckers.
Easier this way.
Sounds good.
Bartender, another
round of whiskey.
Get your steaks and
your holy water now.
I ain't got mine.
I'll go to the horse and get it.
It's dark outside don't
be a yak.
Turd.
Eat. Come on, boy, we got
a long way to go tomorrow.
He rarely eats when
he's working on things.
It's like he's in
his own little world.
What the.
Damn, you fixed it.
What do you like, some kind
of magician or something, kid?
I could work on your
left hand gun, too.
Oh, you mean the one
that keeps misfiring?
I don't think there's
anything you can.
I think it's just a spring
issue on the pullback causing
the handle not to hit the
bullet properly,
causing the misfire.
No.
Eat first, then you can
tink around with my gun.
I think I figured it out.
Figured out what?
Why? The werewolf
killed Mama and Daddy.
They were looking for you and
could smell the bloodline.
Oh, bullshit.
Then why'd all the ghosts look
at you just now
when I said that.
You all can stop
staring at me right now.
Yes, I know she's smart.
No, I am not going to
explain that to her.
Especially to a
14-year-old girl.
15, actually.
15-year-old girl.
I could see
them scolding you.
All right.
Sweet jumping Jesus
on a hot, coal stove.
I swear.
I didn't kill your grandma.
She was possessed by a demon,
and I had to exorcise that
demon out of your grandmother.
Took hours, but none
of that shit matters.
When the demon left her, her
poor body couldn't
handle the stress.
And she died.
Then what?
And then the townspeople
thought I killed her.
So they hung me.
I lived. The end.
You happy?
Get your blankets out.
Gotta get some rest.
We're gonna leave early.
We'll go to go to
my place in Texas.
We didn't bring any blankets.
Why in tarnation would you not
pack blankets knowing full well
we're going to be traveling
cross country, huh?
Mama used to pack everything
and Junior needed his tools.
I guess we forgot.
Well, I guess you two are just
shit out of luck,
then, aren't you?
Good night.
[Whispering voices]
Damn it.
Here.
Gonna have to share.
Keep the fire burning.
You should stay warm.
Shut up, all of you!
We didn't say anything.
He's not talking to us.
He's talking to the ghost.
You know, maybe if you did what
they said, they'd
leave you alone.
I couldn't be that lucky.
Well, when's the sheriff
getting here, you think?
Well the sun's gone.
So I imagine any minute.
So what do you think the
sheriff's gonna do to your boy?
Depends on his mood.
He'll lock him up,
run him out of
town, or kill him.
Well, no shit.
I didn't think he was gonna
draw him a fucking bubble bath.
I meant which one of them
things you think
he's going to do?
I said it depends on his mood.
Give me that dynamite.
Here.
I got no more matches.
Damn it Timmy!
It's a wonder
you're not dead yet.
Here's a match.
Keep your cigar lit.
[Gunshots]
What the hell?
Get the rifle.
Something's going down.
Where the hell's Rex?
I don't know. He was right
here, and he vanished.
Do you see anything?
Gunshots blind.
Rex.
Where the hell are you?
Damn it!
Rex!
Put that pistol away and keep
your cigar close
to the dynamite.
I'm scared, Nate.
If something happens,
you light that dynamite.
You understand me?
I just want to run.
If you run, we're dead.
I think we're dead anyway.
Better dye taking them with us.
Right.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
It's gonna be okay.
I promise.
Rex. Rex.
[Heavy breathing and whimpering]
This vampire's in there.
They just
killed my brother.
How do we know they didn't turn
you and send you out here to
kill us?
What are you talking about?
We can't risk it.
[Gunshots]
[Birds chirping]
Got to be shitting me.
Oh.
What?
Go on, get. Get on, get up.
We gotta go.
We got a long way to go.
Back to Texas.
I'm going to Possum Trot.
You mean us?
No, I don't mean us, I mean me.
I've got a mission.
Voices in my head tell me
I got to go there and take
care of some business.
Here, I fixed it
for you last night.
Boy, you never touch another
man's gun without
his permission.
Well, I'll be,
damn near perfect.
What do you say?
What do I say?
Yeah.
What I say is you don't
touch another
man's gun without
his permission.
But since you did such a good
job, then I'm giving you the
permission to touch this one.
But don't go thinking I like
you or anything like that.
You are awful useful.
And I certainly like to keep
around somebody who's useful
and anybody that's a pain
in my ass and ain't no use.
Then I have no problem
leaving behind.
Like our daddy.
Get up!
Let's go.
I didn't leave your, daddy.
He thought I
killed your grandma?
I woke up one morning.
I found a note, said he was
headed to Kentucky and not to
come find him, so I didn't.
So you humored the wants
of a 12-year-old boy?
I'm humoring the wants of a 15
year old girl right
now, aren't I?
Give me my gun.
Let's get things together.
We got to get on the road.
We got a lot of time and a
lot of distance to make up.
Lay off me, woman.
- Ghosts.
- Ghosts.
[Country music]
How much longer are we going to
put up with this?
Someone needs to tell the
sheriff the deal was to keep
our town safe.
Good morning to you too, mayor.
People are talking.
And I don't have
time for niceties.
The women are worried.
Sheriff has his ways.
Last night, he was just
taking care of the trash.
What about Gabe?
The deal was.
Gabe was a tragic loss.
He knew the risk when
he became a lawman.
Were any townspeople hurt?
No.
All the children
safe in their bed?
Then the sheriff is
abiding by the deal that we all
agreed to when we
made him sheriff.
I'm sure when he gets back from
his ranch, he'll hold a meeting
and explain everything
to everybody.
A meeting tonight, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Now run and tell all the
busybodies in the schoolmarms
that we've got it under control.
Come on, woman.
[Birds chirping]
Come on.
Giddy up.
I thought we were a
few days ride away.
Sometimes when
you're on a mission.
Just get there
faster, that's all.
I would head the other
way if I were you, mister.
This ain't no place for
good Christian folk.
And definitely not no children.
Now, preacher, I'm a man
on a mission from God.
And there ain't no
turning back now.
That place is
Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Lord can't save
anyone in that town.
I think the children
should come with us.
We're headed to
Cumberland Falls.
You can pick them up there when
you're done with your business.
No. We're good.
Well, I guess you got
your answer, preacher.
I'm gonna say a prayer for you.
Bow your heads and
close your eyes.
- Dear heavenly father.
- Look I ain't got time for
this bullshit.
Let's go.
We get to town.
I gotta get the right
kind of ammunition.
Like what?
Oh, you know, garlic, stakes.
Stuff to kill vampires.
You see the way Becky was
looking at Buck at the funeral?
Must be true love.
Cause she don't
care that he's a.
A what?
An ugly son of a bitch.
[Indistinct]
Y'all need to quit squatting
on your spurs,
and go over there and talk to
that old fool that just rode
into town with children.
We do have a couple of
hours before sundown.
You know, vampires and children.
Happy you stay back with the
rifles.
And buck let's go check out
this fool.
Happy now?
We don't need another
incident like last night.
Our citizens are worried.
Well, there seems to be a whole
lot of talk when the sheriff's
not around.
And not a peep when he is.
Maybe you should take a
personal meeting
with him, Calvin.
Maybe I will.
And go get those folks on their
way before there's
another calamity.
Please.
All right, you
two, get in there.
Don't go grab handing
everything you see.
Just get the necessities.
We'll get the hell out of town.
Yes, sir.
Howdy, partner.
Children.
Just exactly what
can I do for you
two deputies to make
your lives easier?
Other than go up in their woods
and screaming at a knot on a tree.
I just thought I'd come over
here and see how thick your
skull really is.
I'd rethink that if I was you.
We've got a man over there on
that porch with the Springfield
aimed at the top of your head.
Bucks not too bad a shot at
three feet, either.
Son.
I'd highly recommend you don't
go messing with something,
tha ain't got nothing
to do with you.
Well, sir.
I'm afraid you broken the
law here in Possum Trot.
Really? Exactly
what law is that?
Children.
Talking about that there sign
on the fence when we rode in.
I read that sign.
That sign said no
children after Dark.
We're going to get what we need.
We're going to be out of
here long before then.
So just let us do
what we got to do.
Well, now you've gone and
pointed a gun at a lawman.
All these town folk are
going to expect me to do
something about that.
Son.
Let me give you a
little bit of advice.
Smart enough, I don't need to
tell you.
Dumb enough you're probably not
going to listen.
Well, I'm afraid we're.
Drop it, fatty!
Drop it now!
Ah! Good boy.
Did anybody see anything?
Huh?
Yeah. See?
Nobody saw anything?
Nothing at all here to see.
You promise to go about your
business and leave me to go
about mine.
Then I won't bother you
and you won't bother me.
Is that clear?
Yes, yes.
Yes, sir.
Good.
Let me make something clear.
I see any of you come
across this road.
I'll shoot first
and ask why later.
Understood?
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Good.
Oh!
Hey, fatty!
Come and get your friends.
Come on kids!
Oh, shit.
Don't worry, ma'am,
I'll pay for that.
Okay.
And those too. Turd.
Get the stuff we need.
Jessie, head to the window.
Keep an eye out.
Tell me if anybody
comes across the street.
I'm gonna need some garlic.
I'm gonna need
some wooden sticks.
- And some black powder.
- And that too.
I don't have any wooden sticks.
Well, we'll just.
We'll use that crate turd.
Bust that up.
What the hell do you
think you're doing, lady?
You know what's going on in
this town, and I'm here to save
this town's ass.
You either give me the stuff I
need, or you take my money and
you shut the hell up.
Either way, though, I'm
going to get what I need.
Yes, she is pretty.
Don't let it go to your head.
Excuse me.
He's talking to the ghost.
Oh! That's crazy.
Look, lady, my parents were
killed by werewolves last night.
My grandfather talks to ghosts,
and we're in a town
full of vampires.
Crazy is not even the
accurate word here.
Look, don't be going acting
all innocent and shit.
Okay? I'm on a mission from God.
Are you a preacher?
Preacher.
I don't think many preachers
end their sentences
with "and shit."
God, don't send nice people
to kill Lucifer's children.
He sends an old man
and two children.
Nice as they may be, y'all are
not prepared for
what's in this town.
Only way we could survive was
to make a deal propitious.
That's a better word than crazy
to describe our situation.
Jesus, Lord almighty, Turd.
Just making up words.
You ain't been right since that
mule kicked you in the head.
Look, if I help you and
they find out I'm dead.
Lady.
You're already on a
direct route to hell.
So maybe God's giving you a
choice and giving you a chance.
Maybe, just maybe, you
make the right one.
Garlic and gunpowder
in the back.
Turd! In the back.
Get stuff we need.
Hurry up!
Don't take all day, shithead.
What in tarnation happened?
That old bastard.
Knocked Thaddeus out.
Kicked me in the testicles.
The hell is this?
Whiskey for the pain.
They just left the general
store.
I think him and those kids
are heading to a saloon.
All right.
Oh, my God.
My head.
Doug, give me
another swig of that.
So we're just going to
wait on the sheriff.
Sheriff, don't pay me
enough for this shit.
Oh.
Don't want to die today.
I'd suggest you
get the hell out.
Turd. Come here.
Take his garlic.
Hang it above the
doors and the windows.
Use nails. That way it
doesn't fall.
When you're done, bring me back
those explosive things you were
talking about.
I want you to scatter around
six of them, set them about
waist high.
so if I need to shoot
them, I can see them.
You got it.
Go to it, boy.
What can I do, grandpa?
Sweetheart, I need you
to go to my saddlebag.
Get everything that's in there.
Out. Bring it in here and
scatter it around on that table.
Hurry up okay, we've only
got about an hour.
We got a lot to do.
I am expecting to be reimbursed
for my loss of business.
We all got kicked out of a saloon.
And I only get one
day in town a month.
We're going to have a
council meeting tonight.
Someone should have rode out
and get the sheriff as soon as
this happened.
Shut up Lucas, the sheriff's
already here.
I mean, him and Thaddeus in
here making a plan right now.
So you want us to
come in behind you?
And I will casually and calmly
stroll in like I always do.
And have a conversation.
I'm going to talk to
the sheriff myself.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
He is not in a good mood.
Watch me.
Howdy, mayor.
How may I help you?
Hey, Sheriff.
Everyone's scared about this.
It's all right, Calvin.
I have this under control.
But it's happening
more and more.
We're going to get every
gunslinger that wants to kill
vampires coming from all
corners of the world.
Why don't you give me 20 more
minutes with my deputies, and
we will go take care
of this little problem.
After that, we can have a town
meeting to discuss how we can
fix our town's
soiled reputation.
Turd. Got those steaks?
Only had time to make
about three.
Ahh, good enough.
Thank you, kid.
Hey, grandpa.
Yeah?
The sheriff and deputies
are coming down the road.
Oh, God.
All right, you two,
get over here now.
Come on.
I want you all to take
a big swig of this.
You hear me?
As much as you can.
Keep going.
We don't drink alcohol.
It's not alcohol. Drink it.
Come on.
I ain't got time.
No. Come on. More.
That tastes like alcohol.
That,
had alcohol in it for years.
I don't drink anymore,
as much.
Did you happen to wash it
out when you were done?
You don't wash out alcohol.
You use alcohol to
wash other things.
Take this,
Take this.
Get him behind the bar now!
Duck! Hurry up!
[Whispering voices]
I can see the
ghost talking to you.
Yeah, I know.
What are they saying?
What are they saying?
Tell me where they are.
Who's coming?
Duck down now.
Yes, sir.
Evening, Sheriff.
Deputy Daggett.
I'm sheriff Hawkins.
With whom do I have the
pleasure of speaking?
I'm Dan Remington.
And sheriff,
your town,
has a problem.
And what is that, Mr. Remington?
Your town has vampires.
Well, that is interesting.
Cause I would think that only
children would believe
in fairy tales,
and that only an imbecile would
believe in the tall tales of
drunken cowboys.
So I'm going to give you
one chance to pack up.
And get the hell out of my town.
Well, Sheriff.
I'm not a child,
and I don't believe in the
rumors of drunken cowboys.
I believe,
in the big man upstairs.
His message, his word, his law.
And he brought me to your town.
Children are behind the bar.
Please fetch them for me.
I got one pointed at a jar full
of black powder and glue, and
the other one at you.
Gum. It's a petroleum-based gum
that catches fire to anything
that explodes on.
Turd, get down.
What do you want, Mr. Remington?
What I want, what I need
is to kill vampires.
And then me and the children
will would just go
on our merry way.
Well, I see you
did come prepared.
You got all the cliches.
You got your wooden stakes.
Explosives.
Is that garlic
over the door?
Is that so there's only
one way in and out?
That's cute.
That's cute.
There's a problem with
your plan, though.
What's that?
Never corner something
meaner than you.
Get the kids?
Sheriff.
You told me to not let
you go near any children.
That's before I found out
these hunters were sent by God.
That changes everything.
There are 20 people
watching outside.
If you hurt those children,
this deal is off.
Oh!
Oh!
Please don't hurt him.
He's all we have left.
Can't you see?
He can't control himself?
It's a demon inside
a human body.
Sheriff.
You okay?
Get me two chairs.
Now, tell me about your God
and his army of hunters.
Oh.
Oh, Sheriff.
Go to hell.
Bring me the girl.
Don't.
Sheriff.
Oh, I think Mr. Remington is a
reasonable enough man to tell
me what I need to know for
the sake of this child.
Don't.
I'm sorry, grandpa.
I swear to God.
If you hurt her.
I'm gonna kill you.
And I'm gonna burn this
town to the ground.
I've heard that plenty
of times before.
And here I am.
No!
No!
They drank holy water.
You killed us, you
dumb son of a bitch!
Wake up, Grandpa. Wake up.
Oh. What's worse,
the ass whipping by the
deputies
or you trying to wake me up?
Shh he's sleeping.
Oh.
I reckon we're still
alive, I guess. Huh?
How's the sheriff?
He's not happy, but
he's still kicking.
Time you reckon it is?
Mhm. They took your
watch and all our stuff.
But I'd say it's about 8 a.m..
Oh damn it.
That means we got about ten
hours before the
sheriff gets back.
Personally I'd rather
hang you right now,
but I guess he's got
other plans for you.
Where's Happy with my food?
Ain't no one up cooking.
I sent him to the general store to see
if old Miss Jennifer
fixes up something.
Hey, grandpa?
Yeah, sweetheart.
I'm really hungry.
Oh. Don't worry.
We got something for
you too, little girl.
We run our town real Christian
like.
Yeah, real Christian like.
Do you realize that our crime
rate's gone down to zero since
we elected that new sheriff?
Our men and women walk around
without guns because
they feel safe.
Now, how many
towns can say that?
None. That's how many.
Yeah, I can't mention many
towns making a deal
with the devil.
At what cost?
Vampires feed off the
blood of the living.
Not as much as you think.
Once, maybe twice a month.
We all donate blood
if we have to.
Yeah, I bet you let them
feed off of you all.
All for the price of
peace and security, right?
The sheriff hasn't hurt
anybody in this town.
If he feeds off somebody, he
stops before anybody dies.
Deputy!
Deputy, the store's on fire.
Y'all chew the horns
off the devil himself.
Hey!
Ms. Damper is running over
here screaming something.
Shit! Fire!
Fire!
Quick! We don't have much time.
Your horses are in the stable.
Fire should distract
everyone for a bit.
Give me the damn bucket.
You leave out the
west side of town.
Yeah. Once you cross Bucks
Creek, there's a cabin on the
right side of the road.
You can hide there for a bit.
What's the change
of heart, sister?
I have a girl.
Paula.
Sent her to my sisters in
Cincinnati after
my husband died.
God save the children.
You don't know how much power
he has over these people.
They would die for him.
Will you come with us, please?
It'll be safer for you.
I can't. The sheriff knows
where my daughter lives.
Grandpa, we have to help her.
Shit.
All right, I'll go get your
girl after I get done here.
You come with us, please.
I need to pack a few
belongings, but I can meet you
all at the cabin after sundown.
Okay.
Now you can have to
make it look like you.
[Glass shatters]
Grandpa, what the hell?
She asked.
You did not have to
hit her that hard.
Well, might have probably
wanted to pull it a little bit,
I guess.
No, no, you had to
make it look real.
All right, kids,
let's get our stuff.
Let's get out of here.
We need to put some
distance in this town.
Okay, I got to make a plan.
What are you doing?
- What?
- What are you doing?
I'm trying to make a plan.
And that plan requires whiskey.
Every good plan
requires whiskey.
Shit.
I'll get these bastards moving.
What happened?
Happy said Miss Jennifer was
cooking,
and a grease fire started.
He tried to help, but
she just left him.
Jennifer was cooking, not Happy.
That's what he said.
Shit fire.
Come with me.
Get some water.
Miss McFarland.
Are you okay?
Get the doc.
Oh, Lord.
Remington and the kids are gone.
Sheriff's gonna
be so damn mad,
he's gonna bite himself.
Help me get her
up into the cell.
Round up a posse and
let's check the town.
Come on.
You two, get over here.
Set that stuff on the porch.
We'll sort it out.
Make sure there
are no surprises.
Get over here and get your
back against that wall.
What are we going to do?
I'm a vampire proof.
This cabin.
I'm gonna go back in that
town, and I'm gonna kill that
bloodsucking sumbitch.
Damn it.
What's wrong?
I got no place to hide you.
Gonna have to dig a ditch.
Give me that.
Shit!
Poured out all of
our holy water.
Yeah, this is plan B.
What was plan A?
Plan A?
Go in the town, burn
it to the ground.
Put a bullet right between
that bloodsuckers eyes.
That doesn't sound like a plan.
That sounds like a death wish.
Don't agree with her.
A half thought out plan,
violently implemented, is
always better than a full
thought out plan
when you're dead.
Thank you for telling him that.
Why are you thanking him?
I would think you would want to
be on the side of experience.
I'm still alive.
They're dead because two days
ago, we lost everything we had
and found out we
had a grandfather.
We would like for you
to stay in one piece.
Me too.
Even though I hate
that you call me Turd.
I don't know why you two
want to be around me.
I'm mean as a snake,
I can't cook.
And if you continue to hang
around with me, you're probably
going to die.
Daddy said that sometimes
we do things
because we're Remingtons.
Even if there's
not a good answer.
Well.
I guess that makes sense.
Come on.
We got a lot to do before
Miss McFarland gets here.
Look.
I know a lot's happened to you
two in the last three days,
but I just want to
know, are you two okay?
I miss Mama and Daddy.
Sheriff.
There's been a huge
misunderstanding.
I don't know why Deputy
Daggett has me behind bars.
Because you helped Mr. Remington,
and the children escape.
Sheriff, I can assure you.
Do not,
lie to me Jennifer.
There is no way he could have
gotten those keys from off of
that wall.
And your hands reek of garlic.
- The children.
- You know damn good and well
I was not going to
kill those children.
Happy said you bit
the little girl.
To make the old man talk, Jennifer.
How many times have I
bitten you?
Children are your weakness.
I was just trying to
protect you from yourself.
I cannot believe you did this.
That old man could bring back
a hundred more hunters.
We may very well have
a goddamn war on our hands.
I'm sorry, Roddy.
I wasn't thinking.
You're my family.
If there was anyone in this
town that I could have trusted,
it should have been you.
You scare me.
Do you know who scared me.
Jamie.
Jamie scared me, but I
stuck with him through.
Thick and thin.
We risked our lives.
We almost died 20 times over
trying to protect this town
before the foreigner came.
You don't have to tell
me the story again.
I know it upsets you.
Upsets me!
You know what upsets me?
Is that it's all a lie!
- What are you talking about?
- The foreigner.
The foreigner offered us
both a deal.
Never grow old.
Never grow tired.
But here's the kicker.
I didn't want it.
But, Jamie.
He was tired of
risking his life.
He was tired of the close calls.
So we took the deal.
It's not true.
Oh, my God, could
you be so blind?
You didn't notice that
you only worked at night?
He slept all damn day.
He was never in the sunlight.
Oh, he regretted it cause he
was so scared that he was gonna
hurt you and Paula.
And for weeks, he begged
me to take his life.
Do you have any idea
what that's like?
He begged me to take my best
friend's life because of you.
Stop.
I told him.
I told him to change you.
But he refused because he was.
He was so, so obsessed
with saving your souls.
Because he and I,
we were damned to hell, right?
We were damned.
But you know, he would go on
about, about your, your wedding
vows and and love and
honor and bullshit.
And he, he begged me Jennifer,
for, for, for weeks! Until
I was sick of his,
his sniveling and his crying!
And I killed him!
I killed Jamie, and
I did it for you!
You should have killed me, too.
I am done living by his rules.
And I will save every man and
woman in this town if I have to
kill you all to do it.
Turd.
I mean, I'm sorry, Junior.
Please take the horse around
the back of the house.
All right. Thank you.
I'm starting to get real
worried about Miss McFarland.
She should have
been here by now.
Yeah, it's getting
a bit concerning.
That's why we're
doing all of this.
Sometimes you can't predict
what evil's going to do.
Sometimes I think
God picked me because I
can think like they do.
You know, there's a difference
between you and the monsters.
With you, there's a man
underneath that wishes things
would just turn out differently.
[Whispering voices]
Kids.
Get in the house.
What's going on?
We've got company.
There's a lot of ghosts around.
Go on now, get.
Every man with a rifle
will ride with Happy.
Except for you, Chuck.
You go home to
those grandchildren.
But I'm going.
Don't you think a few of you
all should stay here to protect
the town?
I'll be here.
With Sam and Francis,
just in case.
Alright, I want all of you all
to go get extra ammo.
Be ready to ride
out in ten minutes.
Let's go.
Time's a wastin.
This is a fool's
errand, Sheriff.
We don't even know
which way they rode.
On the third day.
The demon arose from the west,
and his eyes burned with all
the fire of the sun and the sky.
What the hell are
you talking about?
It's a poem.
It's a poem the foreigner
made me memorize.
I always felt I was the
demon in that story.
The rest of it goes.
When the vision meets the sight
and the voices hear the sound,
a horn will play on high
and the evil will bow down.
That's just a
bunch of gibberish.
Everything the foreigner
says is deliberate.
He had me learn
that for a reason.
Maybe it's a test.
I'll gather up the rest of the
townsfolk, let her know what's
going on before Martha
starts all her rumors.
Good idea, Sheriff.
All right.
That's just about far enough.
Sorry, Mr. Remington.
Sheriff sent us to
arrange a trade.
Quit wasting my time.
Get to the damn point.
You for Miss MacFarlane.
And her and the
children go free.
Yes, sir.
Deal. But,
you got to tell all your boys
that are hiding out there with
the rifles.
They got to come in.
I'll ride back
into town with you.
I think there's about ten of
you out here
surrounding the cabin.
No, sir.
We were alone.
What are you doing?
Proving you're a liar, sir.
Lenny, run!
[Explosion]
Which way do you want
me to throw this one?
Okay, you made your point.
Well, I got to throw
the damn thing.
It's lit.
[Explosion]
Woohoo.
Well, now, fatty, you help Miss
McFarland down off her horse.
She gets in the cabin
with the children.
I'll ride back to town with
y'all and the seven other men
that are still out there.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Remington.
It's okay, Miss MacFarlane.
Be all right.
Ain't that right,
Deputy Daggett?
Yes, sir.
Drop your pistols
and nobody gets hurt.
[Hisses]
Die, you sons a bitches!
Get the children.
Boys, I do not miss.
I'm gonna put a bullet
between both of your eyes.
Let go of my goddamn kids!
Now!
Get out of here!
I'll bring the old man.
Did you think this holy
fire could stop a demon?
All it did was trap
you here with me.
You're wrong.
Traps you in here with me.
The sheriff was controlling me.
I would never willingly
hurt the children.
I'm so sorry I
couldn't save you.
Do me a favor.
There's nothing I can do.
Please.
Please.
Find Paula.
Save my daughter.
Deputy, I get the sense you
are bringing news that I am not
going to like.
There was a shootout.
Happy died.
A few others.
We got the children.
And Remington?
Jennifer's bringing him.
I doubt that.
Rally everyone in the saloon.
Tie the children up
until I can,
assess the situation.
Thaddeus.
Don't let me near the children.
Ever since I have taken
on this fool's errand.
You have drove me.
You've taken away my wife.
My boy.
My grandchildren.
I am a tired old man.
And you just keep asking me to
kill these monsters
to save mankind.
And let me tell you
something, Lord.
These men you want to save,
they're worse than the monsters
that I kill.
They rape the children.
They beat their wives.
And I know,
I'm not supposed
to judge anyone.
Oh, especially not you,
but, uh, I think you're errant
Creation is winning down here.
He's a puppet master.
He kills, he
takes what he
wants, and you just.
You just sit there and
you let it happen.
I never asked for
this responsibility.
Well, I'm begging you.
No, I'm telling you.
I want you to take it away.
I'm done.
Do you hear me?
I'm done.
Hello, Dan.
Who the hell are you?
You know me.
I'm the one who can
solve all your problems.
The sheriff send you?
No. I'm here of
my own free will.
Well I came when you
abandoned God.
You're in my way.
Notice anything?
When I arrived, the voices
in your head are gone.
Nice and peaceful, isn't it?
You can finally get some rest.
Just exactly who
the hell are you?
With a snap of a finger, I
can solve all your problems.
The sheriff will be destroyed,
your grandchildren will be safe,
and the town will
even make you sheriff.
So you can live out the rest
of your life with a mission.
It all sounds too
good to be true.
So just what exactly
is the catch?
No catch?
None at all.
Really?
There's always a price to pay.
You abandoned God.
I already got my prize.
I'm merely offering
you a little reward.
Just say yes,
and you will be the first
person on this earth to have a
one sided deal with the devil.
It's nice as that sounds, devil.
I'm afraid I'm going to
have to turn you down.
You do understand
this is a no strings
attached deal, right?
What I do know,
is that nothing good
comes at an easy cost.
And I don't take from others
without putting in my fair
share of sweat or coin.
You just killed your
grandchildren and yourself.
You know that.
Well, like my daddy always used
to say, it's better to die on
the high ground than to
wallow in the shadows of men.
So, devil, you can
go fuck yourself.
Oh, damn.
Damn it, doc, that hurt.
If I don't set it right now.
It'll never set right.
Grandpa's gonna be okay.
I mean, when she picked him
up, he looked like a rag doll.
I don't know, but we're
still alive for a reason.
Bait.
You're my two little
worms on a hook.
Miss Luna.
Miss Luna!
Take your women upstairs.
I want you all to remember
why this town is so peaceful.
I hear everything.
Every conversation,
every whisper.
If Chuck beats his wife,
then I beat Chuck.
And if Petey steals from his
neighbor, I make sure that that
property is returned and
Petey is punished accordingly.
Isn't that right, Petey?
You don't care about this town.
All you care about is control.
Is that so?
These people are your chickens.
And you, sir, are the
wolf in the chicken coop.
Well, that begs the question.
Why would the old man walk his
two grandchildren right into
the wolf den?
Because she can see ghosts.
And I can make things people
have never seen before.
Jesus, Junior. Shut up.
He wants to know our secrets.
And you're just
giving them all away.
Special gifts granted
from God himself, huh?
Yeah, it's kind of like parlor
tricks compared to the magic
bestowed onto me
by Satan himself.
There's nothing
magical about you.
You're just a monster.
A monster I may be.
but if I were not in control of
myself, I promise you you would
be dead already.
Well, I'm sure Miss McFarland
will be dragging his sorry
carcass through that
door any minute.
No you don't.
The fact is, it's been an
hour since we got to town.
And it's a sign that you've got
all these people here that you
know that she failed.
The ghost I see.
They give him all the
information he needs to end
your miserable life.
Vision joins the sight.
The voices hear the sound of vision.
There's something
strange about him, Thad.
Nah.
He's just a thinker.
He's got a poem stuck in
his head or something.
Vision joins the sight.
The voices hear the sound.
He sees visions.
He sees visions to make things.
She sees ghosts.
The old man hears voices.
What is the sound?
What is the sound?
It's about a mile
out of town, Sheriff.
But he's sure taking
his sweet time.
Doc.
If you ever question
my mental state again,
I will rip your goddamn throat
out and we will find ourselves
in irregular.
I was just trying to do my job.
It's all right.
You're going home now.
I doubt we'll be needing you,
but be ready just in case.
Doc.
Thank you for all
your hard work. I can,
I can barely smell the blood.
Tippy.
Do you have pen and paper?
Well, yes, sir, I sure do.
Petey.
Take this letter to
my brother in Ohio.
The address is on the back.
Sure. Can I get a whiskey.
Now, Petey.
If you go in there,
you're gonna die.
Probably.
Men, take your positions.
Dear Lord.
It's Dan Remington.
Sir,
I don't ask for much help,
as I like to take care of my
problems on my own.
But, uh, Lord, I think I've
made a big mistake and I'm in
over my head.
In fact, I'm probably
about to be killed.
But Lord, I got to
save my grandchildren.
Even if I die trying.
I know you and me ain't seen
eye to eye all the time, but I
was just wondering if maybe you
would see fit to forgive me.
And, uh,
if you're not too busy,
maybe lend a hand.
I think grandpa's coming.
How do you know?
I'm seeing a mess
of ghosts right now.
More than I ever have.
Hold my hand.
Things are about
to get interesting.
I, Dan Remington.
Uh.
I'll stop cussing and drinking
and, uh, I'll go to church on
Sunday like I'm supposed to.
Well, thank you for
listening, God.
And, uh, I'm
sorry to bother you.
Um, that's pretty much all I
got, so I'm going
to get going now.
Amen.
Mr. Remington is saying his
final prayers to his God.
Do not fire until
you are fired upon.
Come on in, Mr. Remington.
Just want to have
a conversation.
I promise not to hurt
your grandchildren.
[Bagpipes]
[Bagpipes continue]
[Gunshots]
[Gunshots and bagpipes continue]
You know what they say.
Never approach a bull from the
front, or a horse from the rear.
Or a fool from any direction.
You ever get tired of just
hearing your lips flapping?
I can't move.
How are you doing this?
Pretty incredible what you
can accomplish when you get a
little help from the
big man upstairs, huh?
Oh, wow.
It's controlled by the evil one.
But when you see him, tell him
I got a size 12 boot to stick
way up his,
rear end.
Why did you let me live?
In a moment of weakness, you
decided to be brave and be a
good man.
I don't deserve to live.
Not after I turned a blind
eye to everyone in this town.
There are no shortcuts
to being a good man.
What if I fail?
Well.
Then I guess you're going to
have to answer to
the big man upstairs.
I'm glad you guys are safe.
How'd you get out of the ropes?
Junior made some
doodads to get us out.
Really?
Good for you.
Hey, and thank you for making
those knuckle dusters, junior.
I appreciate it.
You didn't call me Turd.
No, I think, kid, that you have
graduated to Junior or, uh,
John or,
Johnny.
What do you like?
Johnny sounds nice.
Well, that's what I used to
call your daddy, you know?
So, uh, it's Johnny.
Thank you for saving us.
Sweetheart, that's what
Remingtons do.
Grandpa I have something
I want to show you.
Jesse, I don't
like holding hands.
We learned that if we hold
hands, we share each other's
special abilities.
Hold my hand.
You can see grandma again.
Hi, beautiful.
I never thought I
would see you again.
You did a great job
saving our grandkids.
I think they got a little
bit more to learn from you.
You mean from us?
No. I'm sorry, my dear Daniel.
It seems my time down here is
over now that I got you on the
right track.
I just,
I miss you so much.
It's not your fault.
Remember that.
You saved me.
He always saved me.
I tried, I really,
really tried.
Well, now it's time for you to
save the world with the help of
your grandkids.
Train them to take your place.
Teach them to fight
the good fight.
And you, young lady, you need
to keep these boys in line.
But you've got your daddy's
heart, which he got from me.
Yes, ma'am.
What would I do if
they get out of line?
Well, you just remind them that
I'm looking down on them, and
they do not want me to
come back down here.
Well, maybe once in a while.
We'd like you to come back.
Oh, you're so handsome.
I bet you're going to have all
the women chasing after you.
Why would I want that?
You will one day knowing
you got a little bit of your
grandpa in you.
Grandpa used to
smooth the ladies?
Yeah.
What's so hard to believe
about that.
Huh?
Nothing, grandpa.
See you around, cowboy.
See you around, beautiful.
What's next?
Well.
I guess we'll go to Cincinnati.
More monsters to kill.
No.
This time I think we're
going to go save someone.
Save someone?
I thought we only
killed bad things.
Yeah, but grandma always
used to say that change was
important to life,
family and friends.
But I don't know, I think she
just quoting a Bible
verse or something.
No, that one was 100% grandma.
Probably right.
Sounds good.
How did you meet grandma?
Well, Johnny, that's a
long and wonderful story.
[Crow cawing]
[Werewolf howling]
Come away from the window.
It's Bible reading time.
Jesse, what chapter are we on?
I don't know.
Ask junior. He's the smart one.
Mama, that's not a
regular wolf howl.
There's something
not right out there.
I gotta go check it out.
First Peter, chapter
seven, verse five.
That's where we
left off last night.
Leave the gun at the door.
Jesus watch over
us while we read.
Get the chairs.
Mama?
Do you think something
bad's gonna happen tonight?
What makes you say that?
I know you don't like
it when I say it, but.
But there's a lot of ghosts
pointing and yelling right now.
Do you remember what Pastor
Brian said about your ghost?
Yes, sir.
Do we need to go get him so we
can exorcise the rest of those
demons out?
No, sir.
Jesse.
Cast your anxiety on him
because he cares for you.
Be of sober mind.
Because your adversary,
the devil,
he's on the prowl
like a roaring lion.
Seeking someone to devour.
It's going to be all right.
I'm going to go scare him off.
Daddy, don't!
Daddy, don't!
Get to the bedroom.
Bar the door.
[Horse galloping]
The Lord is my Savior.
I shall not worry.
[Werewolf snarling]
You're a little one, ain't you?
Oh.
Girl, turn your head.
You don't need to see
a grown man's pecker.
You're too young.
Get on over here, boy.
Help your grandpa up off
the floor.
We don't have no
grandpa, Mister.
Ah.
I said turn your head.
And yeah, you do.
And it's in me I am him.
Oh, boy.
Go get a blanket.
Cover the body.
Your sister don't need
to be seeing this.
Neither one of you two get bit.
No, sir.
Good.
I guess I'll be leaving.
Wait. Where are you going?
After what we just seen?
And you proclaiming to
be our grandpa and all.
What if more of them
things are coming?
Ain't no more of them coming.
That's the last of the pack.
I made sure of it this time.
Can you please just stay?
What'd you say?
I'm sorry.
Uh. Not you, kid.
I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to
voices in my head.
No. No, damn it.
No way.
I'm not taking them with me.
Don't.
Don't you two look at me like
I'm damn near crazy either.
I don't think you're
crazy, mister.
I can see the ghost
talking to you.
She's standing right there.
You can.
You can see the ghost.
What does she look like?
She's an older lady.
Her hair is in a bun and
she's talking to you.
But I can't hear
what she's saying.
What is she saying to you?
Never you mind
what she's saying.
You wake up, I'll be gone.
How are we supposed to
take care of ourselves?
Yeah you both look pretty
near to adults to me.
So you should be fine.
I'll be leaving in the morning.
Your ghost don't look too
happy with you right now.
All right, you know what?
I'll bury the bodies.
You happy?
Guess I'm staying for
the night.
I ain't got no choice.
Well, you two go on to bed.
Go on.
Get.
Good night, Mister.
Good night.
Well,
body ain't gonna
bury itself, I guess.
[Rooster crow]
Come, lead us in prayer.
I ain't all that good at
saying sentimental shit.
Damn it.
Got to watch my mouth.
It's okay we've heard
cuss words before.
Daddy used
to say them a lot.
Especially when he
talked about you.
What did he say about me?
He said you were studying
to be a half wit.
You couldn't teach
a chicken to cluck.
He was as slow as
a crippled turtle.
And he was a selfish
son of a bitch
who never showed up
on time for anything.
All right,
let's get this done.
Look, I don't like
being touched.
I'm sorry. It's just.
Say the damn prayer.
That's enough.
You know what?
I'm leaving.
[Whispering voices]
Jesus H Christ.
I have not agreed to
all this bullshit.
I don't like family.
I don't like kids.
And if you haven't figured it
out, I really, really, really
don't like family that are kids.
All right, let's do this.
Dear Lord.
I'm sorry Danny and his
wife, uh,
whatever her name
was, had to die.
Lord, I'm sorry that the world
is full of monsters that your
son Lucifer let loose
to kill all the dumb son of
a bitches that I really could
care less for.
But, Lord, if you think
about it in a certain way.
That's because of the way you
raised him, which means this is
kind of your fault.
But due to certain bad
decisions, I have decided to
help you out with this mess
by killing those monsters.
Anyway, if you could see it fit.
Uh, keep my grandkids safe and
keep them fed, because there is
absolutely no way in hell that
they are going to come with me.
And I do not care
what anyone says.
Amen.
I told you all to
quit following me.
I said I ain't going
to quit following you.
I find absolutely atrocious how
you'd abandoned two kids in the
middle of Cumberland Gap to
fend for themselves, especially
after what we seen last night.
You just make that word up.
What word?
Artie, arka Roscius.
Whatever.
Atrocious. It means
very, very bad.
It was made in the 16th
century and derived from.
An awful big word
for young people.
Where'd you get your
teaching from, boy?
Mama said that junior has a
special gift that he can read
before he was born.
And one summer day, he took us
to the Frankfurt Library and he
read the whole
dictionary in a week.
All them there books
in that library.
And you chose to
read the dictionary?
Well, during that time he
read three books a day.
I said he was smart.
He can build and fix things too.
Like what?
Daddy's guns and such.
He also built mama, a beautiful
music box from scratch.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He don't talk much, does he.
No. He kind of just keeps
in his own little world.
Think you can fix
my pocket watch?
Of course.
All right, kids, we're gonna
stop here for the night.
Thank God my butt
was starting to hurt.
I ain't doing it for you.
Horses gotta eat.
What's the plan
when we get there?
We're gonna scope out the
town and talk with the locals.
And you don't tell them we're
hunters looking for vampires.
You got that?
Yeah.
People get spooked
when you bring up crazy shit.
Remember El Paso?
Oh yeah. On account of it
was my first kill.
Damn chupacabras never saw
it coming.
It's Chupacabra, you dumb shit.
It's chupacabra. Bra.
Not Cappa.
Chupacabra!
Chupacabra! It's the same
thing once they're dead!
Well, they run in
packs a half a dozen.
And it was your mouth that got
us thrown in jail last time.
Two more times folks died that
night because of you.
So keep your damn piehole shut
and let me and Rex
do all the talking.
Some signs say Rex.
No children are guns
allowed in town.
All visitors must check in
at the sheriff's office.
Good thing we
ain't have no kids.
But if I get lucky at the
cathouse tonight, I might just
make me one.
No whoring around
on the first night.
You was the one that said
to talk with the locals.
And I'm pretty sure a fast
trick can tell a
whole lot of stories.
He's got a point, Rex.
I suggest you two start
thinking with your big heads
and not your little ones.
Get on your horse,
little brother.
Let's go.
Yes.
General store?
Right there.
Y'all head on down to the.
Y'all head on down to the saloon.
I'll be down there
in a few minutes.
I'm gonna grab a
couple of stogies.
Oh, hey, pick me up for some of
that hard candy,
if you don't mind.
What are you, seven years old?
Shut up, Nathan, you dick head.
Looking for something
particular, Mister?
I was hoping you had a few
cigars I could
purchase from you.
How many?
Uh, three of them.
One for me and my brothers.
You ain't too good
at this, are you?
Excuse me.
Selling things.
You ain't too good at it.
I think I've ever been in a
general store where the owner
didn't try to sell
me more than I need.
I'm just trying to get things
stocked up around here.
Help outsiders get what
they need to move on.
Sheriff prefers people passing
through to leave by sundown.
What makes you think I'm
just passing through?
Cause you got a gun on your hip.
Townsfolk don't carry
guns around here.
Yeah, I saw those signs
rolling into town.
What's your husband think
about all this disarmed stuff?
He don't.
I'm a widow.
Oh.
My apologies, ma'am.
It's okay.
It's been several years.
Sorry if I seem unsocial.
He looked a lot like you.
Well.
I don't know if
that's a good thing.
I don't think my looks do
too well with the womenfolk.
Looks don't matter much if
you're strong-willed and can
put in a good day's work.
I reckon so,
if you don't mind me asking,
what happened?
He was the sheriff of Possum
Trot when we first met.
Um, one night, him and his
deputy got ambushed
by a foreigner.
I always told them both to
use wit over confidence, but.
I don't really know what
happened, but I was told they
unloaded their guns no
farther than you to me.
And this man managed to kill
him in a matter of seconds with
his bare hands, I just.
Even Rodney didn't stand a chance, really.
And who's Rodney?
The deputy but, um,
he survived.
By the grace of God.
Where's old Rodney now?
You sure do ask a
lot of questions.
Well, looking to settle down
in a small town with a fully
stocked general store.
Maybe with a beautiful
little widow working there.
Well, he's the town sheriff.
He works his farm
during the day,
comes in at night, makes
sure the deputies are having
everyone follow his rules.
Hmm.
I ain't never been too good at
following the rules.
Neither.
But, um, best not make
the sheriff upset.
And I'll tell you what.
You check your guns in with the
deputies by sundown, and maybe
you'll see me at
the saloon tonight.
Well, then I'd be disarmed.
Well, what if you turn out to
be some big, bad, scary monster
or something?
They're scarier monsters lurking
in the shadows
than little old me.
All right, well, I'll turn
in my guns for a dance.
I don't do much
dancing these days.
But you may see me if
you do as I've said.
Yes, ma'am.
For a little dance.
Said I'm not dancing.
Friends over there.
You're hankering for a beer, Mister?
I'd appreciate that, good sir.
Y'all done with this bobbery?
We got some business to discuss.
Oh man.
This my brother,
is heaven.
Tippy.
How about a few
shots of whiskey?
What do we look for when
we're dealing with vampires?
I know they're strong.
They come out at night.
They can fly.
They can't fly, but they
are strong.
And I don't want you trying
to take on one by yourself.
What about silver bullets?
That's werewolves,
you dumb shit.
If you shoot a vampire, you're
just going to piss it off.
Look, the only way to kill a vampire,
is by fire sticking
a stake through its heart.
There they are, deputy.
I told you they had
their pistols on em.
Good job Jeremiah.
Now go on home.
I still got my $2 reward,
right?
Come by tomorrow.
No need to stand up, gentlemen.
Just saw you rode in.
Just checking to see how
long y'all be staying in our
peaceful little town.
Just staying the night, deputy.
State your business.
Bought a little
land up in Paducah.
Heading over to Lexington.
Close out a little paperwork.
A lot of traveling.
It's a lot of land.
Well, boys, you can either give
me your weapons now, or you can
hang on to them, and the
sheriff will deal with you when
he gets back at sundown.
I don't think we'll be getting
rid of our guns just yet.
Shots for each of y'all
on the house.
Suit yourselves.
Sheriff's not gonna be
as reasonable as I am.
We'll take our chances.
Going once.
Going twice.
Gone.
Hey. So we're not going to take
their weapons from them.
- We're just going to.
- We wait.
- But the sheriff said.
- We wait for the sheriff.
There's something strange
about those three.
Gabe, go tell the doc his
services are going
to be needed tonight.
Why do I got to do it?
I told you to do it.
Or what?
- Now.
- We ain't scared of you.
One.
Nor that goddamn sheriff.
Two.
Well. Yes, sir.
Mr. boss man, your
wish is my command.
Closed. Come back tomorrow.
Are you serious, tippy?
You heard me.
Stay clear of alleyways
and dark places.
What's their problem?
Why is everyone leaving?
Nate, quit asking
that man questions.
We got to prepare for tonight.
The voices told me they're here.
You think the sheriff knows
anything about the vampire?
I certainly do.
The lady that owns the general
store told me her husband and
the sheriff got attacked
by a foreigner last year.
Still lives around
the same area.
She said the man dodged 12
bullets at point blank range at
lightning speed.
Ripped her husband's throat
out with his bare hands.
Now get this.
The sheriff survived.
That very same attack.
If he knew where the foreigner
was, I'm sure he'd done killed
him by now.
Maybe he thought he did.
But you can't kill a vampire by
shooting it.
They're smart, like me and you.
I seen one play dead one time.
One almost got old Jack Thomas
last year, pretending to be the
town drunk.
Nobody told me vampires
wore disguises.
There's some tricky bitches.
Maybe.
Maybe the vampires come back
to finish off the sheriff.
Better yet, the vampires in
cahoots with the sheriff.
Uh. Are you just
weak in the head?
The undead don't make
deals with the living.
They eat us, plain and simple.
Hey hey.
Hey hey, yo, pipe down.
Tonight.
Let's just gather
information and try find
out where the
Crips are tomorrow.
During the day, while they're
asleep, we'll kill
those bloodsuckers.
Easier this way.
Sounds good.
Bartender, another
round of whiskey.
Get your steaks and
your holy water now.
I ain't got mine.
I'll go to the horse and get it.
It's dark outside don't
be a yak.
Turd.
Eat. Come on, boy, we got
a long way to go tomorrow.
He rarely eats when
he's working on things.
It's like he's in
his own little world.
What the.
Damn, you fixed it.
What do you like, some kind
of magician or something, kid?
I could work on your
left hand gun, too.
Oh, you mean the one
that keeps misfiring?
I don't think there's
anything you can.
I think it's just a spring
issue on the pullback causing
the handle not to hit the
bullet properly,
causing the misfire.
No.
Eat first, then you can
tink around with my gun.
I think I figured it out.
Figured out what?
Why? The werewolf
killed Mama and Daddy.
They were looking for you and
could smell the bloodline.
Oh, bullshit.
Then why'd all the ghosts look
at you just now
when I said that.
You all can stop
staring at me right now.
Yes, I know she's smart.
No, I am not going to
explain that to her.
Especially to a
14-year-old girl.
15, actually.
15-year-old girl.
I could see
them scolding you.
All right.
Sweet jumping Jesus
on a hot, coal stove.
I swear.
I didn't kill your grandma.
She was possessed by a demon,
and I had to exorcise that
demon out of your grandmother.
Took hours, but none
of that shit matters.
When the demon left her, her
poor body couldn't
handle the stress.
And she died.
Then what?
And then the townspeople
thought I killed her.
So they hung me.
I lived. The end.
You happy?
Get your blankets out.
Gotta get some rest.
We're gonna leave early.
We'll go to go to
my place in Texas.
We didn't bring any blankets.
Why in tarnation would you not
pack blankets knowing full well
we're going to be traveling
cross country, huh?
Mama used to pack everything
and Junior needed his tools.
I guess we forgot.
Well, I guess you two are just
shit out of luck,
then, aren't you?
Good night.
[Whispering voices]
Damn it.
Here.
Gonna have to share.
Keep the fire burning.
You should stay warm.
Shut up, all of you!
We didn't say anything.
He's not talking to us.
He's talking to the ghost.
You know, maybe if you did what
they said, they'd
leave you alone.
I couldn't be that lucky.
Well, when's the sheriff
getting here, you think?
Well the sun's gone.
So I imagine any minute.
So what do you think the
sheriff's gonna do to your boy?
Depends on his mood.
He'll lock him up,
run him out of
town, or kill him.
Well, no shit.
I didn't think he was gonna
draw him a fucking bubble bath.
I meant which one of them
things you think
he's going to do?
I said it depends on his mood.
Give me that dynamite.
Here.
I got no more matches.
Damn it Timmy!
It's a wonder
you're not dead yet.
Here's a match.
Keep your cigar lit.
[Gunshots]
What the hell?
Get the rifle.
Something's going down.
Where the hell's Rex?
I don't know. He was right
here, and he vanished.
Do you see anything?
Gunshots blind.
Rex.
Where the hell are you?
Damn it!
Rex!
Put that pistol away and keep
your cigar close
to the dynamite.
I'm scared, Nate.
If something happens,
you light that dynamite.
You understand me?
I just want to run.
If you run, we're dead.
I think we're dead anyway.
Better dye taking them with us.
Right.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
It's gonna be okay.
I promise.
Rex. Rex.
[Heavy breathing and whimpering]
This vampire's in there.
They just
killed my brother.
How do we know they didn't turn
you and send you out here to
kill us?
What are you talking about?
We can't risk it.
[Gunshots]
[Birds chirping]
Got to be shitting me.
Oh.
What?
Go on, get. Get on, get up.
We gotta go.
We got a long way to go.
Back to Texas.
I'm going to Possum Trot.
You mean us?
No, I don't mean us, I mean me.
I've got a mission.
Voices in my head tell me
I got to go there and take
care of some business.
Here, I fixed it
for you last night.
Boy, you never touch another
man's gun without
his permission.
Well, I'll be,
damn near perfect.
What do you say?
What do I say?
Yeah.
What I say is you don't
touch another
man's gun without
his permission.
But since you did such a good
job, then I'm giving you the
permission to touch this one.
But don't go thinking I like
you or anything like that.
You are awful useful.
And I certainly like to keep
around somebody who's useful
and anybody that's a pain
in my ass and ain't no use.
Then I have no problem
leaving behind.
Like our daddy.
Get up!
Let's go.
I didn't leave your, daddy.
He thought I
killed your grandma?
I woke up one morning.
I found a note, said he was
headed to Kentucky and not to
come find him, so I didn't.
So you humored the wants
of a 12-year-old boy?
I'm humoring the wants of a 15
year old girl right
now, aren't I?
Give me my gun.
Let's get things together.
We got to get on the road.
We got a lot of time and a
lot of distance to make up.
Lay off me, woman.
- Ghosts.
- Ghosts.
[Country music]
How much longer are we going to
put up with this?
Someone needs to tell the
sheriff the deal was to keep
our town safe.
Good morning to you too, mayor.
People are talking.
And I don't have
time for niceties.
The women are worried.
Sheriff has his ways.
Last night, he was just
taking care of the trash.
What about Gabe?
The deal was.
Gabe was a tragic loss.
He knew the risk when
he became a lawman.
Were any townspeople hurt?
No.
All the children
safe in their bed?
Then the sheriff is
abiding by the deal that we all
agreed to when we
made him sheriff.
I'm sure when he gets back from
his ranch, he'll hold a meeting
and explain everything
to everybody.
A meeting tonight, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Now run and tell all the
busybodies in the schoolmarms
that we've got it under control.
Come on, woman.
[Birds chirping]
Come on.
Giddy up.
I thought we were a
few days ride away.
Sometimes when
you're on a mission.
Just get there
faster, that's all.
I would head the other
way if I were you, mister.
This ain't no place for
good Christian folk.
And definitely not no children.
Now, preacher, I'm a man
on a mission from God.
And there ain't no
turning back now.
That place is
Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Lord can't save
anyone in that town.
I think the children
should come with us.
We're headed to
Cumberland Falls.
You can pick them up there when
you're done with your business.
No. We're good.
Well, I guess you got
your answer, preacher.
I'm gonna say a prayer for you.
Bow your heads and
close your eyes.
- Dear heavenly father.
- Look I ain't got time for
this bullshit.
Let's go.
We get to town.
I gotta get the right
kind of ammunition.
Like what?
Oh, you know, garlic, stakes.
Stuff to kill vampires.
You see the way Becky was
looking at Buck at the funeral?
Must be true love.
Cause she don't
care that he's a.
A what?
An ugly son of a bitch.
[Indistinct]
Y'all need to quit squatting
on your spurs,
and go over there and talk to
that old fool that just rode
into town with children.
We do have a couple of
hours before sundown.
You know, vampires and children.
Happy you stay back with the
rifles.
And buck let's go check out
this fool.
Happy now?
We don't need another
incident like last night.
Our citizens are worried.
Well, there seems to be a whole
lot of talk when the sheriff's
not around.
And not a peep when he is.
Maybe you should take a
personal meeting
with him, Calvin.
Maybe I will.
And go get those folks on their
way before there's
another calamity.
Please.
All right, you
two, get in there.
Don't go grab handing
everything you see.
Just get the necessities.
We'll get the hell out of town.
Yes, sir.
Howdy, partner.
Children.
Just exactly what
can I do for you
two deputies to make
your lives easier?
Other than go up in their woods
and screaming at a knot on a tree.
I just thought I'd come over
here and see how thick your
skull really is.
I'd rethink that if I was you.
We've got a man over there on
that porch with the Springfield
aimed at the top of your head.
Bucks not too bad a shot at
three feet, either.
Son.
I'd highly recommend you don't
go messing with something,
tha ain't got nothing
to do with you.
Well, sir.
I'm afraid you broken the
law here in Possum Trot.
Really? Exactly
what law is that?
Children.
Talking about that there sign
on the fence when we rode in.
I read that sign.
That sign said no
children after Dark.
We're going to get what we need.
We're going to be out of
here long before then.
So just let us do
what we got to do.
Well, now you've gone and
pointed a gun at a lawman.
All these town folk are
going to expect me to do
something about that.
Son.
Let me give you a
little bit of advice.
Smart enough, I don't need to
tell you.
Dumb enough you're probably not
going to listen.
Well, I'm afraid we're.
Drop it, fatty!
Drop it now!
Ah! Good boy.
Did anybody see anything?
Huh?
Yeah. See?
Nobody saw anything?
Nothing at all here to see.
You promise to go about your
business and leave me to go
about mine.
Then I won't bother you
and you won't bother me.
Is that clear?
Yes, yes.
Yes, sir.
Good.
Let me make something clear.
I see any of you come
across this road.
I'll shoot first
and ask why later.
Understood?
Understood?
Yes, sir.
Good.
Oh!
Hey, fatty!
Come and get your friends.
Come on kids!
Oh, shit.
Don't worry, ma'am,
I'll pay for that.
Okay.
And those too. Turd.
Get the stuff we need.
Jessie, head to the window.
Keep an eye out.
Tell me if anybody
comes across the street.
I'm gonna need some garlic.
I'm gonna need
some wooden sticks.
- And some black powder.
- And that too.
I don't have any wooden sticks.
Well, we'll just.
We'll use that crate turd.
Bust that up.
What the hell do you
think you're doing, lady?
You know what's going on in
this town, and I'm here to save
this town's ass.
You either give me the stuff I
need, or you take my money and
you shut the hell up.
Either way, though, I'm
going to get what I need.
Yes, she is pretty.
Don't let it go to your head.
Excuse me.
He's talking to the ghost.
Oh! That's crazy.
Look, lady, my parents were
killed by werewolves last night.
My grandfather talks to ghosts,
and we're in a town
full of vampires.
Crazy is not even the
accurate word here.
Look, don't be going acting
all innocent and shit.
Okay? I'm on a mission from God.
Are you a preacher?
Preacher.
I don't think many preachers
end their sentences
with "and shit."
God, don't send nice people
to kill Lucifer's children.
He sends an old man
and two children.
Nice as they may be, y'all are
not prepared for
what's in this town.
Only way we could survive was
to make a deal propitious.
That's a better word than crazy
to describe our situation.
Jesus, Lord almighty, Turd.
Just making up words.
You ain't been right since that
mule kicked you in the head.
Look, if I help you and
they find out I'm dead.
Lady.
You're already on a
direct route to hell.
So maybe God's giving you a
choice and giving you a chance.
Maybe, just maybe, you
make the right one.
Garlic and gunpowder
in the back.
Turd! In the back.
Get stuff we need.
Hurry up!
Don't take all day, shithead.
What in tarnation happened?
That old bastard.
Knocked Thaddeus out.
Kicked me in the testicles.
The hell is this?
Whiskey for the pain.
They just left the general
store.
I think him and those kids
are heading to a saloon.
All right.
Oh, my God.
My head.
Doug, give me
another swig of that.
So we're just going to
wait on the sheriff.
Sheriff, don't pay me
enough for this shit.
Oh.
Don't want to die today.
I'd suggest you
get the hell out.
Turd. Come here.
Take his garlic.
Hang it above the
doors and the windows.
Use nails. That way it
doesn't fall.
When you're done, bring me back
those explosive things you were
talking about.
I want you to scatter around
six of them, set them about
waist high.
so if I need to shoot
them, I can see them.
You got it.
Go to it, boy.
What can I do, grandpa?
Sweetheart, I need you
to go to my saddlebag.
Get everything that's in there.
Out. Bring it in here and
scatter it around on that table.
Hurry up okay, we've only
got about an hour.
We got a lot to do.
I am expecting to be reimbursed
for my loss of business.
We all got kicked out of a saloon.
And I only get one
day in town a month.
We're going to have a
council meeting tonight.
Someone should have rode out
and get the sheriff as soon as
this happened.
Shut up Lucas, the sheriff's
already here.
I mean, him and Thaddeus in
here making a plan right now.
So you want us to
come in behind you?
And I will casually and calmly
stroll in like I always do.
And have a conversation.
I'm going to talk to
the sheriff myself.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
He is not in a good mood.
Watch me.
Howdy, mayor.
How may I help you?
Hey, Sheriff.
Everyone's scared about this.
It's all right, Calvin.
I have this under control.
But it's happening
more and more.
We're going to get every
gunslinger that wants to kill
vampires coming from all
corners of the world.
Why don't you give me 20 more
minutes with my deputies, and
we will go take care
of this little problem.
After that, we can have a town
meeting to discuss how we can
fix our town's
soiled reputation.
Turd. Got those steaks?
Only had time to make
about three.
Ahh, good enough.
Thank you, kid.
Hey, grandpa.
Yeah?
The sheriff and deputies
are coming down the road.
Oh, God.
All right, you two,
get over here now.
Come on.
I want you all to take
a big swig of this.
You hear me?
As much as you can.
Keep going.
We don't drink alcohol.
It's not alcohol. Drink it.
Come on.
I ain't got time.
No. Come on. More.
That tastes like alcohol.
That,
had alcohol in it for years.
I don't drink anymore,
as much.
Did you happen to wash it
out when you were done?
You don't wash out alcohol.
You use alcohol to
wash other things.
Take this,
Take this.
Get him behind the bar now!
Duck! Hurry up!
[Whispering voices]
I can see the
ghost talking to you.
Yeah, I know.
What are they saying?
What are they saying?
Tell me where they are.
Who's coming?
Duck down now.
Yes, sir.
Evening, Sheriff.
Deputy Daggett.
I'm sheriff Hawkins.
With whom do I have the
pleasure of speaking?
I'm Dan Remington.
And sheriff,
your town,
has a problem.
And what is that, Mr. Remington?
Your town has vampires.
Well, that is interesting.
Cause I would think that only
children would believe
in fairy tales,
and that only an imbecile would
believe in the tall tales of
drunken cowboys.
So I'm going to give you
one chance to pack up.
And get the hell out of my town.
Well, Sheriff.
I'm not a child,
and I don't believe in the
rumors of drunken cowboys.
I believe,
in the big man upstairs.
His message, his word, his law.
And he brought me to your town.
Children are behind the bar.
Please fetch them for me.
I got one pointed at a jar full
of black powder and glue, and
the other one at you.
Gum. It's a petroleum-based gum
that catches fire to anything
that explodes on.
Turd, get down.
What do you want, Mr. Remington?
What I want, what I need
is to kill vampires.
And then me and the children
will would just go
on our merry way.
Well, I see you
did come prepared.
You got all the cliches.
You got your wooden stakes.
Explosives.
Is that garlic
over the door?
Is that so there's only
one way in and out?
That's cute.
That's cute.
There's a problem with
your plan, though.
What's that?
Never corner something
meaner than you.
Get the kids?
Sheriff.
You told me to not let
you go near any children.
That's before I found out
these hunters were sent by God.
That changes everything.
There are 20 people
watching outside.
If you hurt those children,
this deal is off.
Oh!
Oh!
Please don't hurt him.
He's all we have left.
Can't you see?
He can't control himself?
It's a demon inside
a human body.
Sheriff.
You okay?
Get me two chairs.
Now, tell me about your God
and his army of hunters.
Oh.
Oh, Sheriff.
Go to hell.
Bring me the girl.
Don't.
Sheriff.
Oh, I think Mr. Remington is a
reasonable enough man to tell
me what I need to know for
the sake of this child.
Don't.
I'm sorry, grandpa.
I swear to God.
If you hurt her.
I'm gonna kill you.
And I'm gonna burn this
town to the ground.
I've heard that plenty
of times before.
And here I am.
No!
No!
They drank holy water.
You killed us, you
dumb son of a bitch!
Wake up, Grandpa. Wake up.
Oh. What's worse,
the ass whipping by the
deputies
or you trying to wake me up?
Shh he's sleeping.
Oh.
I reckon we're still
alive, I guess. Huh?
How's the sheriff?
He's not happy, but
he's still kicking.
Time you reckon it is?
Mhm. They took your
watch and all our stuff.
But I'd say it's about 8 a.m..
Oh damn it.
That means we got about ten
hours before the
sheriff gets back.
Personally I'd rather
hang you right now,
but I guess he's got
other plans for you.
Where's Happy with my food?
Ain't no one up cooking.
I sent him to the general store to see
if old Miss Jennifer
fixes up something.
Hey, grandpa?
Yeah, sweetheart.
I'm really hungry.
Oh. Don't worry.
We got something for
you too, little girl.
We run our town real Christian
like.
Yeah, real Christian like.
Do you realize that our crime
rate's gone down to zero since
we elected that new sheriff?
Our men and women walk around
without guns because
they feel safe.
Now, how many
towns can say that?
None. That's how many.
Yeah, I can't mention many
towns making a deal
with the devil.
At what cost?
Vampires feed off the
blood of the living.
Not as much as you think.
Once, maybe twice a month.
We all donate blood
if we have to.
Yeah, I bet you let them
feed off of you all.
All for the price of
peace and security, right?
The sheriff hasn't hurt
anybody in this town.
If he feeds off somebody, he
stops before anybody dies.
Deputy!
Deputy, the store's on fire.
Y'all chew the horns
off the devil himself.
Hey!
Ms. Damper is running over
here screaming something.
Shit! Fire!
Fire!
Quick! We don't have much time.
Your horses are in the stable.
Fire should distract
everyone for a bit.
Give me the damn bucket.
You leave out the
west side of town.
Yeah. Once you cross Bucks
Creek, there's a cabin on the
right side of the road.
You can hide there for a bit.
What's the change
of heart, sister?
I have a girl.
Paula.
Sent her to my sisters in
Cincinnati after
my husband died.
God save the children.
You don't know how much power
he has over these people.
They would die for him.
Will you come with us, please?
It'll be safer for you.
I can't. The sheriff knows
where my daughter lives.
Grandpa, we have to help her.
Shit.
All right, I'll go get your
girl after I get done here.
You come with us, please.
I need to pack a few
belongings, but I can meet you
all at the cabin after sundown.
Okay.
Now you can have to
make it look like you.
[Glass shatters]
Grandpa, what the hell?
She asked.
You did not have to
hit her that hard.
Well, might have probably
wanted to pull it a little bit,
I guess.
No, no, you had to
make it look real.
All right, kids,
let's get our stuff.
Let's get out of here.
We need to put some
distance in this town.
Okay, I got to make a plan.
What are you doing?
- What?
- What are you doing?
I'm trying to make a plan.
And that plan requires whiskey.
Every good plan
requires whiskey.
Shit.
I'll get these bastards moving.
What happened?
Happy said Miss Jennifer was
cooking,
and a grease fire started.
He tried to help, but
she just left him.
Jennifer was cooking, not Happy.
That's what he said.
Shit fire.
Come with me.
Get some water.
Miss McFarland.
Are you okay?
Get the doc.
Oh, Lord.
Remington and the kids are gone.
Sheriff's gonna
be so damn mad,
he's gonna bite himself.
Help me get her
up into the cell.
Round up a posse and
let's check the town.
Come on.
You two, get over here.
Set that stuff on the porch.
We'll sort it out.
Make sure there
are no surprises.
Get over here and get your
back against that wall.
What are we going to do?
I'm a vampire proof.
This cabin.
I'm gonna go back in that
town, and I'm gonna kill that
bloodsucking sumbitch.
Damn it.
What's wrong?
I got no place to hide you.
Gonna have to dig a ditch.
Give me that.
Shit!
Poured out all of
our holy water.
Yeah, this is plan B.
What was plan A?
Plan A?
Go in the town, burn
it to the ground.
Put a bullet right between
that bloodsuckers eyes.
That doesn't sound like a plan.
That sounds like a death wish.
Don't agree with her.
A half thought out plan,
violently implemented, is
always better than a full
thought out plan
when you're dead.
Thank you for telling him that.
Why are you thanking him?
I would think you would want to
be on the side of experience.
I'm still alive.
They're dead because two days
ago, we lost everything we had
and found out we
had a grandfather.
We would like for you
to stay in one piece.
Me too.
Even though I hate
that you call me Turd.
I don't know why you two
want to be around me.
I'm mean as a snake,
I can't cook.
And if you continue to hang
around with me, you're probably
going to die.
Daddy said that sometimes
we do things
because we're Remingtons.
Even if there's
not a good answer.
Well.
I guess that makes sense.
Come on.
We got a lot to do before
Miss McFarland gets here.
Look.
I know a lot's happened to you
two in the last three days,
but I just want to
know, are you two okay?
I miss Mama and Daddy.
Sheriff.
There's been a huge
misunderstanding.
I don't know why Deputy
Daggett has me behind bars.
Because you helped Mr. Remington,
and the children escape.
Sheriff, I can assure you.
Do not,
lie to me Jennifer.
There is no way he could have
gotten those keys from off of
that wall.
And your hands reek of garlic.
- The children.
- You know damn good and well
I was not going to
kill those children.
Happy said you bit
the little girl.
To make the old man talk, Jennifer.
How many times have I
bitten you?
Children are your weakness.
I was just trying to
protect you from yourself.
I cannot believe you did this.
That old man could bring back
a hundred more hunters.
We may very well have
a goddamn war on our hands.
I'm sorry, Roddy.
I wasn't thinking.
You're my family.
If there was anyone in this
town that I could have trusted,
it should have been you.
You scare me.
Do you know who scared me.
Jamie.
Jamie scared me, but I
stuck with him through.
Thick and thin.
We risked our lives.
We almost died 20 times over
trying to protect this town
before the foreigner came.
You don't have to tell
me the story again.
I know it upsets you.
Upsets me!
You know what upsets me?
Is that it's all a lie!
- What are you talking about?
- The foreigner.
The foreigner offered us
both a deal.
Never grow old.
Never grow tired.
But here's the kicker.
I didn't want it.
But, Jamie.
He was tired of
risking his life.
He was tired of the close calls.
So we took the deal.
It's not true.
Oh, my God, could
you be so blind?
You didn't notice that
you only worked at night?
He slept all damn day.
He was never in the sunlight.
Oh, he regretted it cause he
was so scared that he was gonna
hurt you and Paula.
And for weeks, he begged
me to take his life.
Do you have any idea
what that's like?
He begged me to take my best
friend's life because of you.
Stop.
I told him.
I told him to change you.
But he refused because he was.
He was so, so obsessed
with saving your souls.
Because he and I,
we were damned to hell, right?
We were damned.
But you know, he would go on
about, about your, your wedding
vows and and love and
honor and bullshit.
And he, he begged me Jennifer,
for, for, for weeks! Until
I was sick of his,
his sniveling and his crying!
And I killed him!
I killed Jamie, and
I did it for you!
You should have killed me, too.
I am done living by his rules.
And I will save every man and
woman in this town if I have to
kill you all to do it.
Turd.
I mean, I'm sorry, Junior.
Please take the horse around
the back of the house.
All right. Thank you.
I'm starting to get real
worried about Miss McFarland.
She should have
been here by now.
Yeah, it's getting
a bit concerning.
That's why we're
doing all of this.
Sometimes you can't predict
what evil's going to do.
Sometimes I think
God picked me because I
can think like they do.
You know, there's a difference
between you and the monsters.
With you, there's a man
underneath that wishes things
would just turn out differently.
[Whispering voices]
Kids.
Get in the house.
What's going on?
We've got company.
There's a lot of ghosts around.
Go on now, get.
Every man with a rifle
will ride with Happy.
Except for you, Chuck.
You go home to
those grandchildren.
But I'm going.
Don't you think a few of you
all should stay here to protect
the town?
I'll be here.
With Sam and Francis,
just in case.
Alright, I want all of you all
to go get extra ammo.
Be ready to ride
out in ten minutes.
Let's go.
Time's a wastin.
This is a fool's
errand, Sheriff.
We don't even know
which way they rode.
On the third day.
The demon arose from the west,
and his eyes burned with all
the fire of the sun and the sky.
What the hell are
you talking about?
It's a poem.
It's a poem the foreigner
made me memorize.
I always felt I was the
demon in that story.
The rest of it goes.
When the vision meets the sight
and the voices hear the sound,
a horn will play on high
and the evil will bow down.
That's just a
bunch of gibberish.
Everything the foreigner
says is deliberate.
He had me learn
that for a reason.
Maybe it's a test.
I'll gather up the rest of the
townsfolk, let her know what's
going on before Martha
starts all her rumors.
Good idea, Sheriff.
All right.
That's just about far enough.
Sorry, Mr. Remington.
Sheriff sent us to
arrange a trade.
Quit wasting my time.
Get to the damn point.
You for Miss MacFarlane.
And her and the
children go free.
Yes, sir.
Deal. But,
you got to tell all your boys
that are hiding out there with
the rifles.
They got to come in.
I'll ride back
into town with you.
I think there's about ten of
you out here
surrounding the cabin.
No, sir.
We were alone.
What are you doing?
Proving you're a liar, sir.
Lenny, run!
[Explosion]
Which way do you want
me to throw this one?
Okay, you made your point.
Well, I got to throw
the damn thing.
It's lit.
[Explosion]
Woohoo.
Well, now, fatty, you help Miss
McFarland down off her horse.
She gets in the cabin
with the children.
I'll ride back to town with
y'all and the seven other men
that are still out there.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Remington.
It's okay, Miss MacFarlane.
Be all right.
Ain't that right,
Deputy Daggett?
Yes, sir.
Drop your pistols
and nobody gets hurt.
[Hisses]
Die, you sons a bitches!
Get the children.
Boys, I do not miss.
I'm gonna put a bullet
between both of your eyes.
Let go of my goddamn kids!
Now!
Get out of here!
I'll bring the old man.
Did you think this holy
fire could stop a demon?
All it did was trap
you here with me.
You're wrong.
Traps you in here with me.
The sheriff was controlling me.
I would never willingly
hurt the children.
I'm so sorry I
couldn't save you.
Do me a favor.
There's nothing I can do.
Please.
Please.
Find Paula.
Save my daughter.
Deputy, I get the sense you
are bringing news that I am not
going to like.
There was a shootout.
Happy died.
A few others.
We got the children.
And Remington?
Jennifer's bringing him.
I doubt that.
Rally everyone in the saloon.
Tie the children up
until I can,
assess the situation.
Thaddeus.
Don't let me near the children.
Ever since I have taken
on this fool's errand.
You have drove me.
You've taken away my wife.
My boy.
My grandchildren.
I am a tired old man.
And you just keep asking me to
kill these monsters
to save mankind.
And let me tell you
something, Lord.
These men you want to save,
they're worse than the monsters
that I kill.
They rape the children.
They beat their wives.
And I know,
I'm not supposed
to judge anyone.
Oh, especially not you,
but, uh, I think you're errant
Creation is winning down here.
He's a puppet master.
He kills, he
takes what he
wants, and you just.
You just sit there and
you let it happen.
I never asked for
this responsibility.
Well, I'm begging you.
No, I'm telling you.
I want you to take it away.
I'm done.
Do you hear me?
I'm done.
Hello, Dan.
Who the hell are you?
You know me.
I'm the one who can
solve all your problems.
The sheriff send you?
No. I'm here of
my own free will.
Well I came when you
abandoned God.
You're in my way.
Notice anything?
When I arrived, the voices
in your head are gone.
Nice and peaceful, isn't it?
You can finally get some rest.
Just exactly who
the hell are you?
With a snap of a finger, I
can solve all your problems.
The sheriff will be destroyed,
your grandchildren will be safe,
and the town will
even make you sheriff.
So you can live out the rest
of your life with a mission.
It all sounds too
good to be true.
So just what exactly
is the catch?
No catch?
None at all.
Really?
There's always a price to pay.
You abandoned God.
I already got my prize.
I'm merely offering
you a little reward.
Just say yes,
and you will be the first
person on this earth to have a
one sided deal with the devil.
It's nice as that sounds, devil.
I'm afraid I'm going to
have to turn you down.
You do understand
this is a no strings
attached deal, right?
What I do know,
is that nothing good
comes at an easy cost.
And I don't take from others
without putting in my fair
share of sweat or coin.
You just killed your
grandchildren and yourself.
You know that.
Well, like my daddy always used
to say, it's better to die on
the high ground than to
wallow in the shadows of men.
So, devil, you can
go fuck yourself.
Oh, damn.
Damn it, doc, that hurt.
If I don't set it right now.
It'll never set right.
Grandpa's gonna be okay.
I mean, when she picked him
up, he looked like a rag doll.
I don't know, but we're
still alive for a reason.
Bait.
You're my two little
worms on a hook.
Miss Luna.
Miss Luna!
Take your women upstairs.
I want you all to remember
why this town is so peaceful.
I hear everything.
Every conversation,
every whisper.
If Chuck beats his wife,
then I beat Chuck.
And if Petey steals from his
neighbor, I make sure that that
property is returned and
Petey is punished accordingly.
Isn't that right, Petey?
You don't care about this town.
All you care about is control.
Is that so?
These people are your chickens.
And you, sir, are the
wolf in the chicken coop.
Well, that begs the question.
Why would the old man walk his
two grandchildren right into
the wolf den?
Because she can see ghosts.
And I can make things people
have never seen before.
Jesus, Junior. Shut up.
He wants to know our secrets.
And you're just
giving them all away.

from God himself, huh?
Yeah, it's kind of like parlor
tricks compared to the magic
bestowed onto me
by Satan himself.
There's nothing
magical about you.
You're just a monster.
A monster I may be.
but if I were not in control of
myself, I promise you you would
be dead already.
Well, I'm sure Miss McFarland
will be dragging his sorry
carcass through that
door any minute.
No you don't.
The fact is, it's been an
hour since we got to town.
And it's a sign that you've got
all these people here that you
know that she failed.
The ghost I see.
They give him all the
information he needs to end
your miserable life.
Vision joins the sight.
The voices hear the sound of vision.
There's something
strange about him, Thad.
Nah.
He's just a thinker.
He's got a poem stuck in
his head or something.
Vision joins the sight.
The voices hear the sound.
He sees visions.
He sees visions to make things.
She sees ghosts.
The old man hears voices.
What is the sound?
What is the sound?
It's about a mile
out of town, Sheriff.
But he's sure taking
his sweet time.
Doc.
If you ever question
my mental state again,
I will rip your goddamn throat
out and we will find ourselves
in irregular.
I was just trying to do my job.
It's all right.
You're going home now.
I doubt we'll be needing you,
but be ready just in case.
Doc.
Thank you for all
your hard work. I can,
I can barely smell the blood.
Tippy.
Do you have pen and paper?
Well, yes, sir, I sure do.
Petey.
Take this letter to
my brother in Ohio.
The address is on the back.
Sure. Can I get a whiskey.
Now, Petey.
If you go in there,
you're gonna die.
Probably.
Men, take your positions.
Dear Lord.
It's Dan Remington.
Sir,
I don't ask for much help,
as I like to take care of my
problems on my own.
But, uh, Lord, I think I've
made a big mistake and I'm in
over my head.
In fact, I'm probably
about to be killed.
But Lord, I got to
save my grandchildren.
Even if I die trying.
I know you and me ain't seen
eye to eye all the time, but I
was just wondering if maybe you
would see fit to forgive me.
And, uh,
if you're not too busy,
maybe lend a hand.
I think grandpa's coming.
How do you know?
I'm seeing a mess
of ghosts right now.
More than I ever have.
Hold my hand.
Things are about
to get interesting.
I, Dan Remington.
Uh.
I'll stop cussing and drinking
and, uh, I'll go to church on
Sunday like I'm supposed to.
Well, thank you for
listening, God.
And, uh, I'm
sorry to bother you.
Um, that's pretty much all I
got, so I'm going
to get going now.
Amen.
Mr. Remington is saying his
final prayers to his God.
Do not fire until
you are fired upon.
Come on in, Mr. Remington.
Just want to have
a conversation.
I promise not to hurt
your grandchildren.
[Bagpipes]
[Bagpipes continue]
[Gunshots]
[Gunshots and bagpipes continue]
You know what they say.
Never approach a bull from the
front, or a horse from the rear.
Or a fool from any direction.
You ever get tired of just
hearing your lips flapping?
I can't move.
How are you doing this?
Pretty incredible what you
can accomplish when you get a
little help from the
big man upstairs, huh?
Oh, wow.
It's controlled by the evil one.
But when you see him, tell him
I got a size 12 boot to stick
way up his,
rear end.
Why did you let me live?
In a moment of weakness, you
decided to be brave and be a
good man.
I don't deserve to live.
Not after I turned a blind
eye to everyone in this town.
There are no shortcuts
to being a good man.
What if I fail?
Well.
Then I guess you're going to
have to answer to
the big man upstairs.
I'm glad you guys are safe.
How'd you get out of the ropes?
Junior made some
doodads to get us out.
Really?
Good for you.
Hey, and thank you for making
those knuckle dusters, junior.
I appreciate it.
You didn't call me Turd.
No, I think, kid, that you have
graduated to Junior or, uh,
John or,
Johnny.
What do you like?
Johnny sounds nice.
Well, that's what I used to
call your daddy, you know?
So, uh, it's Johnny.
Thank you for saving us.
Sweetheart, that's what
Remingtons do.
Grandpa I have something
I want to show you.
Jesse, I don't
like holding hands.
We learned that if we hold
hands, we share each other's
special abilities.
Hold my hand.
You can see grandma again.
Hi, beautiful.
I never thought I
would see you again.
You did a great job
saving our grandkids.
I think they got a little
bit more to learn from you.
You mean from us?
No. I'm sorry, my dear Daniel.
It seems my time down here is
over now that I got you on the
right track.
I just,
I miss you so much.
It's not your fault.
Remember that.
You saved me.
He always saved me.
I tried, I really,
really tried.
Well, now it's time for you to
save the world with the help of
your grandkids.
Train them to take your place.
Teach them to fight
the good fight.
And you, young lady, you need
to keep these boys in line.
But you've got your daddy's
heart, which he got from me.
Yes, ma'am.
What would I do if
they get out of line?
Well, you just remind them that
I'm looking down on them, and
they do not want me to
come back down here.
Well, maybe once in a while.
We'd like you to come back.
Oh, you're so handsome.
I bet you're going to have all
the women chasing after you.
Why would I want that?
You will one day knowing
you got a little bit of your
grandpa in you.
Grandpa used to
smooth the ladies?
Yeah.
What's so hard to believe
about that.
Huh?
Nothing, grandpa.
See you around, cowboy.
See you around, beautiful.
What's next?
Well.
I guess we'll go to Cincinnati.
More monsters to kill.
No.
This time I think we're
going to go save someone.
Save someone?
I thought we only
killed bad things.
Yeah, but grandma always
used to say that change was
important to life,
family and friends.
But I don't know, I think she
just quoting a Bible
verse or something.
No, that one was 100% grandma.
Probably right.
Sounds good.
How did you meet grandma?
Well, Johnny, that's a
long and wonderful story.
