Something Wicked This Way Comes

1 She tried to hang herself, Jim.
Because of what you did.
Because of Jack.
There is no way that our little wee family can ever be together again after this.
- Why not? - Because Anna was the one who shot you.
I'm Sarah.
Sarah Nickel.
This is my daughter, Rosa.
We found her.
Help! - I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
I left him there to die.
For Anna.
He's a monster.
I trusted you.
I hid evidence for you! - That's good police work, that is.
- Not where I come from! You did this.
You set him off.
Where's my family? What have I done? Here! Let's go! She wants you dead.
So do I.
Hi.
- Coming from anywhere besides US? - Mexico.
- Purpose of your visit? - Family.
You have family in Mexico? My mother was Canadian but I was born in Chihuahua.
Lotta driving.
Why the back and forth? I'm a preacher.
- Any food, plants or animals? - No.
- Anything over eight hundred dollars? - No.
- Mind if I check? - Sure.
Would you get out and open the back for me, please? Guide me with Your love, God.
Guide me with Your spirit.
Okay.
You're good to go.
Welcome home, father.
Thank you.
Denise! - Does he know I'm here? - No.
I know you're out there! Do you want me to go by the colony, pick up Anna? Being picked up by the police? She'd hate that.
Angela, what do you want me to do? Just don't let him out.
If he agrees to go to rehab, law says I have to.
Rehab? Are we talking about the same man here? - What did she say? - What did who say? Don't fuck about Angela.
Does she know where Anna is? No.
- You going to let me out? - If you agree to go to rehab.
- What are my options? - Federal prison pending trial.
- I'll take prison.
- You heard the man, Denise.
You'd rather go to jail than get sober? - I am sober.
- Hey.
Keep your hands where I can see them.
- Is it the puberty thing? - It's a moustache.
Is it? You want me clean, right? Yes! So let me out of here, so I can find Anna.
- Will you go to a meeting? - Absolutely not.
Name's Jim.
Alcoholic.
Addict.
- Hello, Jim.
- Alright.
Got forty-four hours in, forty-four hours sober.
Got nothing else to say really.
Except that I think that this is a load of bollocks and you lot look like you are - Thank you, Jim.
- Genetically challenged - Thank you, Jim.
Thank you.
- No offense.
- Can I go now? - No.
- Is this a closed meeting? - Yes.
If this is a closed meeting I mean no-one's going to be able to share honestly with fucking uniform in the room, I mean really.
I'm right.
Am I right? Right? Right.
I'm going to be waiting in the hallway.
Hey! Son of a bitch! Hey.
It's good to see you.
Have you been a good man? Good.
Easy There we are, Mrs.
Fadenrecht.
That should be nice and numb in a few minutes.
For heaven's sake, don't try and whistle, Mrs.
Fadenrecht.
My wife will be with you in a moment, Mrs.
Fadenrecht! How are you? Surviving the cold, barely.
Johan, everyone keeps asking questions.
When will the pastor be back? Where is your husband, Mrs.
Nickel? Especially Mr.
Quiring.
He comes round several times a day.
- He wants you.
- No! - I don't blame him.
- I have a rotten tooth to pull.
Papa! Let me look at you.
You're a beauty.
Isn't she a beauty, Mamacita? - And a handful.
- Did you stay out of trouble? Course not, I'm your daughter.
Did you bring me a gift? - New tack.
- Yes! And a Piñata for you, Thomas.
The border guards opened it so someone had better check if they ate all the sweeties.
Cup of coffee, Papa? Slice of pie? Why's everyone being so nice? What were we supposed to do? Save her life then throw her out? - What do the Elders say? - Stuff the Elders! I found her, I'm responsible for her.
It's not like taking in a stray dog, Rosa.
Does Quiring know? - Sarah! - She's staying anyway.
- I promised her.
- She can't.
- If she goes, I go.
- Don't be such a teenager.
Where does she get this stubbornness from? The Lord! - What's happened? - It's jammed.
- What do you mean, it's jammed? - I mean it won't pump.
Come here to me.
Let me, go on, get out.
- It's jammed.
- Yep.
Fuck it.
Ammonites are good cooks, Anna.
When we grow on, we make everything ourselves.
Careful that's hot.
Bake our own breads and cakes and pies.
You've never even boiled an egg.
- Does it still hurt, Anna? - I'm not that hungry, thank you.
- Save space for Saskatoon pie, Anna.
- She's not hungry, Mama.
Finish your supper, Anna.
- Mr.
Quiring.
- You're back, Pastor Nickel.
- I am.
- Travel broadens the mind.
- Can I help with anything? - Well The pastor is in charge of our spiritual welfare.
- Yes? - You've been gone a week.
- Six days.
- Without my permission.
I need permission? We don't want people coming and going willy-nilly.
Or what would become of the colony? Perhaps the real leader is the man who holds the purse strings, Mr.
Quiring? I hope my visits to relatives back home, won't distract me from my duties to Prairie Field.
I hope not.
Where are we going? There's an old well around here somewhere.
Fuck that.
Can't we just buy some water? I'm starting to stink.
- No, no, no - What? Oh, God - How the hell did he get out of jail? - I warned you.
- Maybe tell him we're in deep shit.
- What? - Ask him for help! - No fucking way.
Do you mind? Sorry, would you give us a moment? So Did I kill her boyfriend? Cause if I killed her boyfriend, then he must have killed Pete, so I'm off the hook, right? What? He killed her brother, he killed our son.
- There's consequences.
- You're unbelievable.
- Let's just bring her home.
- What the hell are you talking about? We don't have a fucking home and I'm not telling you where she is.
She's with the God squad.
I can't bear this anymore.
This isn't a marriage.
This is a fucking suicide pact.
If you go near Anna, I will kill you.
What do we tell everyone? We tell them that Anna is my cousin.
Twice removed.
Which side? On my mother's side.
Which explains her melancholy disposition.
I didn't know you were such a good liar, Johan.
Alright? Seen this girl? Which girl? This girl.
I don't know.
You alright? - Never mind.
- May I help you, officer? Yes, you may.
Seen this girl? - Weapons are forbidden here.
- I'm not going to shoot anyone yet.
Seen this girl? This is the girl we found in the barn.
Which barn? Who found her? Which one of you is Sarah? Seen this girl? It's my daughter.
Where is she? - You do speak English, do you? - I'm sorry, I can't help you.
Mama! What was that? He's a cop! You won't tell him where I am, will you? In Chihuahua, la chota were all criminals.
Fuck the cops.
Can I have your attention, please? My daughter's run away from home.
And I think she's hiding here.
And me and her mum and I are very worried.
So Anna, if you can hear me We just want to help, love.
We just want to do the right thing.
If you can hear me, why don't you come out.
- He won't find you up here.
- Yeah, he will.
- He's a police officer, Sarah.
- He's a madman, Johan.
You want us to get in trouble with the law? Our law is the scripture.
The scriptures say nothing about this.
Go out there and talk to him.
Go.
What do I say? Be who they expect us to be, Johan.
Act like an idiot.
Fucking hell, beards compulsory in this shit hole? This is my daughter.
Have you seen her? Your wife found her, apparently.
Mind if I have a look about? Coming in.
It's a bit grim, innit? - Where's your daughter? - Don't know.
- You got any other rooms? - No.
What's up there? Junk.
Got a torch? You're hiding something.
Now, I want my daughter back, with us, where she's safe.
Now, I don't know what you got going on here but it fucking stinks.
And I've been a cop for thirty years and I can smell it.
I'll be around.
Fuck! What the fuck! - Alright, Danny? - What the fuck? - What the fuck you doing in here? - I live here! They let you out of jail then? - I had nothing to do with your son.
- No, I know.
- They had to drop the charges.
- I know, Danny.
- I swear to God - Danny, it's alright, I believe you.
- Alright - Alright.
This is your trailer then? Fucking hell.
Jesus.
You got some money, man? Fuck it.
Here you are, get yourself a taxi, you get to the nearest bar, alright? Here you are.
Stay warm.
- Is she okay? - She's fine.
She's safe.
She's with us.
- It's just that - What? Your husband won't leave the colony until his daughter is turned over.
- You won't, will you? - Certainly not.
I promise.
Tell me, is he a very wicked man? No.
Only when he drinks.
I felt safe here.
For the first time in my life.
Safety is not a place, Anna.
It's a feeling.
Of trust.
I trust you.
People make mistakes, Anna.
We all do.
Which is why I I put my trust, my life in the hands of my heavenly Father.
What if I don't believe? Faith is like a seed.
It takes time.
Nourish it and it will grow.
- That's a big decision, Anna.
- I know.
To be baptized means to live a new life.
For Christ.
I want to put my trust in something.
Once you're baptized, you cannot go back to your old way of life.
- I don't want to go back.
- How can you be sure? I hate my old life.
Anna.
We only baptize you when you recognize the Lord in your heart.
For some, that comes late.
Even Rosa isn't baptized yet.
And besides, what if life here is not as perfect as you think it is? What happens when you discover that we all have Flaws? At least you're not a criminal.
You're afraid, aren't you? I won't let him hurt us.
It's not him I'm afraid of, Anna.
Who then? You alright? Need a hand? Here? Here.
Here.
Up you get.
Here.
I won't hurt you.
Oops.
Nice.
Very nice.
He wants to see Anna.
Don't you? Give him to me.
You got one of mine, I've got one of yours.
I said give him to me! - Give him to me.
- There she is.
Go on.
This way.
- Rosa.
- Please.
Please just leave me alone.
I'm happy here.
- Come.
- Leave.
Would you mind fucking off for a minute? Don't speak to him like that! This is his home.
If anyone should be fucking off, it's you.
She shot me.
Really! I mean, I only bring it up cause I think you should take it into consideration.
Runs in the family.
- I am nothing like you.
- Yeah, you are.
- I'm not.
- Yeah, you are.
You live like a fucking animal.
I do not, I live in a fine upstanding Christian community.
I'm thinking of growing a beard.
Hello.
You think you're brave because you carry a gun.
But you're not.
- I am your dad though.
- You're a coward - Yeah, well, I'm still your dad.
- And a liar - I'm your dad though, right? - And a cheat - But also your dad.
- You're a murderer.
But I am your dad though, right? Told you.
You alright? Give her back or I will kill you.
Are you okay? She has to go.
Where? To her father.
You heard what he said? What about what Anna wants? Hmm? I promised her mother to keep her until she was ready to go.
In the meantime, neither you, nor I, nor anyone else has the right to turn that girl away if she wishes to stay.
Johan, promise me you won't send her back.
Jesus, I stink.
Where is this fucking thing? The plans say the well is on the far side of the property.
Is that it? Yeah.
Quickly! Anna? The girl's father is a threat to the peace of the colony.
She must be found.
Tonight.
We should have turned her over as soon as we could, Johan.
Heroine? God knows.
- Hello? - Angela? Anna.
- Come with me, Anna.
- Where are you taking me? - I'm taking you back, Anna.
- No, you're not.
- Don't make me drag you.
- I trusted you! - I'm just a man, Anna.
- No.
You're a liar.
You told me you believed in something.
Was that all shit? - Turn the other cheek, child.
- What? Turn away from me! - I don't understand.
- Turn away from me! Turn your thoughts to the Divine.
Put your faith in our Father.
Know that I am a child of God, though I have sinned.
Pray for the Christ in me! - Pray! - I don't know how! Look at me.
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, as crucified, died and descended into Hell.
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, was crucified, died, and descended into Hell.
- Where is she? - I tried to stop them! He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
I believe in the Holly Spirit, the one holy Christian church The fellowship of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.
I believe in the Holly Spirit, the one holy Christian church, and the fellowship of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.
And the resurrection of the body and in life everlasting.
In the resurrection of the body and in life everlasting.
Jim! - Who's that? - That's Jesus.
- What's he doing with our daughter? - I don't fucking know.
I baptize you in the name of the Father And of the Son And of the Holy Spirit.
- Don't you fucking touch her! - Jim! Stop.
Stop.
We're the reason she's doing this! Let's leave her alone.
Whiskey.
Double.
Bar's closed.
Scripture is truth and prophesy.
Christ's Jesus teaches tells us not just how to live but what happens to when we do not live by it.
After twenty centuries, the prophesy is fulfilled.
Today men think that the only way to settle a conflict is by force.
But there is another way.
Christ Jesus teaches that when someone who means you harm comes into your home, your school, your life, turn your cheek, your head, your thoughts away from the aggressor.
Resist not evil.
That is the true revenge.
The realization of the presence of God's love in all his creatures restores peace.
Alright.
Nice hat.
