Hey.

Why don't you take your stuff upstairs, guys,

Oh, did I forget to mention there's no service?

Just a couple of days. You'll be fine.

No, no. You don't get to talk to me.

Leave us alone.

-Mom! -Aden, inside! Now.

It's all right, Aden. We can talk later.

Shut your mouth. You shut your mouth right now!

Aden.

Talk to me.

He told me.

About Dad.

Your father...

Josef...

I thought he loved you.

He wasn't a good person.

Am I?

Am I a good person?

Of course you are!

Your feelings are getting nowhere near my notepad.

I would never.

Jordan, your wife is as compassionate as always.

Hey, so, uh, how's Aden doing?

[Sarah] I wish I knew.

I'm gonna go get us some more wine.

Sarah, hold up.

We should really get to work.

Hey, I wouldn't say no to more wine.

Wine she found in exchange for days of cleaning.

-[Jordan] Babe. -[Liam] Hey, come on.

It feels like I'm back in the Navy.

Liam, you were an officer.

The only thing you had to keep clean

were those fancy rank boards and your choker whites.

Well, can we, like, go look for Aden or something?

He'll be back when he's ready.

[Rachel] Well, we all know

[Maddy screams]

Please! Help me!

[screaming]

[muffled] You sons of bitches!

Anything?

It's voicemail again.

[sighs]

She said she was just going to get some groceries.

[Liam] Yeah, I know.

If it makes you feel any better,

I can go into town and see if I can find her?

I mean, there's only one grocery store, right?

[Sarah] Thank you.

[distant clanking]

[engine starts]

[owl hoots]

Please tell me Liam went to get food?

Who died?

[Rachel] It is getting late.

We need to feed these two.

I'll just order something.

No one will deliver out here.

Let my wife work her magic.

So, Mom, how'd you do it?

A magician never reveals her secrets.

-[Liz laughs] -I'm gonna try calling again.

Don't worry, Mom.

They'll be back soon.

Yeah, definitely.

Let's get these kids to bed, huh?

[tense orchestral music playing]

[lock clicks]

[door creaks open]

[Sarah gasps, grunts]

No, don't. Please! Stop, stop, stop, stop it.

[Sarah whimpering]

No, no, no, no, no you don't have to do this,

you don't have to do this, please. [whimpers]

[Sarah cries, coughs]

No, please.

-Shh! -What are you doing?

-They're in the house. -What?

Come on. You need to get out of here.

[Liz] What about my moms?

[both panting]

-[Liz cries] -Liz, wait!

[Liz screams]

-What the hell is going on? -[Rachel] Quiet.

-We gotta go. Now. -No shit.

[all panting]

[Aden] Come on. Come on, come on.

This way, come on, come on.

Sarah?

Sarah? Sarah? Sarah!

[Rachel] Jordan, they're coming.

-Mom! -[whimpering]

[Jordan pants, grunts]

[all whimpering, panting]

[Rachel screaming]

-[Liz cries] -[Aden] There's no time!

[intense orchestral music playing]

[panting]

[leaves rustling]

[wrench jingling]

Damn it.

[piano music]

[whistles]

I know you're in here.

I can hear you breathing.

[cult members howling]

[Liz] Aden, Aden, stop.

-Aden! -[Aden] We have to keep moving.

[Liz crying] What about my moms?

[Aden] They'd want you to keep going.

-I can't leave them. -You have to.

[Liz cries]

Hey, Liz, Liz, look at me, look at me, Liz.

When did you have time to put shoes on?

You're hurting me.

-[howling continues] -[Liz cries]

[cult member shouting] You better run!

[Maddy] Sarah. Sarah. Thank God you're awake.

-Where's Aden? -[Maddy] I don't know.

-[Sarah] What's going on? -[Maddy] I don't know.

I've been alone in here for hours.

Aden?

-Aden? -Sarah.

Nobody can hear us.

No, no, no, no.

This can't be happening.

I told you not to come back here.

I just wanted my life back.

[laughs] You had it.

You were free.

This whole coming back here thing?

It's sick. You're sick.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

Where's your gun?

They took it.

-Where are we going? -Not much further now.

[cries] What the--

-Shh! -[Liz] Aden.

[Liz cries]

[Aden] Are you ready?

Hey.

-Hey. -[Liz sobs]

Liz, look at me.

This is why we're here.

What are you talking about?

Liz.

This is my party, Liz.

And you're the guest of honor.

[cries, screams]

Aden, what are you doing?

Help me!

[scream echoing]

[Rachel grunts]

[intense orchestral music playing]

[Jordan screams]

[cult member grunts, shouts]

[man grunting]

-[Rachel screams] -[man grunts]

[blood squirts]

[groans in pain]

-[banging] -[body thuds]

[Liz screams in distance]

Help me, please.

Please, let me go.

[cries]

Please, help me, please,

I just wanna go home.

Mom!

Mom!

Why-- why are you doing this?

Please! Please stop!

[cries] Please! Please!

Why?

No, no, no.

[woman] Drink.

-No! No, please! -You have been chosen.

[cult leader] The families have gathered for you.

Are you prepared?

Yes.

Wait here.

[stutters] What?

[voice distorted] Your life will be better.

You have been chosen to be one of the family.

The ritual can begin.

She has been chosen.

[all whispering] Chosen. Chosen.

She has been chosen.

-She has been chosen. -She's been chosen.

Are you-- wait...

You are starting down the path

to become one of our sisters.

[all whispering] Chosen. She has been chosen.

She's been chosen.

[woman] You've been chosen.

We will prepare you [indistinct] your first steps.

[all chanting] She's been chosen.

This is your path, as it was ours.

The family will care for you.

[all chanting] She's been chosen.

[woman] You will come to love and trust the family...

as we all have.

[all] For the family.

[soft chatter]

Are you nervous, young [indistinct]?

A little.

There's no reason to be.

Your time preparing was well spent.

We've arranged everything.

Though, we were disappointed

to have a few unforeseen ends to tie up.

I'm sorry, I--

didn't know my aunt Madelyn was coming.

Or the girl.

Other arrangements have been made for your guest of honor.

Aden.

Your father would be proud.

[cult leader] Young [indistinct].

Your life as a member of this family

resumes now.

Your mother tried to weaken you.

She did not succeed.

I will not fail the family.

Prove it.

[Aden] Hey, big shooter.

Aden? What's going on?

I'm joining my true family now.

[Liam grunts]

[outdoor ambiance]

[grunting]

Aren't you glad you could help me do that?

[knife squelches, bone crackles]

[Liam pants, grunts]

[blood dripping, coughs]

I saw you kiss her.

-Aden. You all right? -Aden. Help us.

Aden, honey?

Aden, what the hell?

[Aden] Hi, Mom.

I know you tried.

You've always wanted

what you thought was best for me.

And for the longest time...

I was afraid I'd...

never be the man Dad wanted me to be.

Who gives a shit about him? She's your mother.

Stay out of my family's business!

You show up uninvited to what?

Huh?

Steal me from my family again?

Aden, let us go. You let us go or--

Please, please.

-[Maddy] Sarah! Sarah! -[Sarah] No! Maddy!

-[Maddy screams] -[Sarah] Maddy! No!

[screams] Maddy! Maddy!

-[Maddy screams] -[thudding]

[Sarah whimpers]

[Sarah sobs]

Family doesn't give up...

that easily, Mom.

Family doesn't run away.

Family also forgives...

Mom.

-Aden, no-- -[Aden] Mom.

They're forgiving me for you.

For Dad.

And I couldn't have done it without your help.

Thank you.

-[Sarah cries] -[Aden] Hey, hey.

Hey, hey, it's okay.

You brought me back.

You did everything you could.

Now...

Liz and I will pick up...

where you and Dad left off.

Aden, you can't. Aden.

Don't do that to that girl.

No, Aden, just look at yourself.

[Aden exhales]

No.

Aden, Aden, Aden, Aden.

-It's almost over. -[Sarah cries]

[Sarah whimpers]

[women singing in distance]

-Let's go. -Wait!

-We need to think about this. -We can't wait.

What? Jordan, no! Wait.

Jordan, wait.

[singing continues]

[Rachel screams]

-Liz! -Liz! Help!

[Rachel screams]

[banging]

[body thuds]

Are you okay?

I'm fine, it's nothing. [pants]

[Rachel grunts]

[Jordan] Rachel.

What's wrong?

You just shouldn't have revealed your secrets.

-[Jordan cries] -Don't.

Go save our daughter.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[singing continues]

[Liz screaming] No, no, no, no, no, no!

[singing continues]

[blood squirts]

[Jordan pants]

Aden. Where's Liz?

[Aden] You fought very hard.

You could have escaped,

if you'd just left Liz alone.

She's my daughter! Where is she?

-She's safe. -What did you do to her?

She's part of my family now.

Don't worry.

In all the generations we farmed this land,

we've never had a poor harvest.

You're gonna make an excellent hunt this year.

Your blood will fertilize the lands

that feed your daughter.

[banging on cage]

A mother's place

is to sacrifice for her children.

Don't you think?

[chanting in foreign language]

[chanting continues]

[chanting continues]

We begin this year's ceremony

with a renewed sense of joy...

knowing that our family will once again be complete.

Tonight, we restore our lost son

to his rightful place.

Our forefathers,

they knew that the sacrifice of one's life for another

is the greatest show of devotion

that man can reach.

Thus, we've always honored the tradition

of the [indistinct].

[melancholic orchestral music playing]

On this night...

your father gives his life for you.

[woman] Now...

honor your father's sacrifice.

[Aden] Praise the family!

I present to you our first sacrifice,

representing planting,

the first seed and hope.

May his blood fertilize our lands.

[axe thuds]

For the planting!

[all] For the planting!

After the planning...

the seed grows and is nourished

and the weeds...

that threaten the sprouting plants...

must be ripped from the earth.

[sighs]

As the sacrifices of our ancestors

cultivated this land...

so too will yours.

I remove this weed that has choked our family.

-[stabbing] -[Sarah screams]

[Sarah] No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

[Aden] For the cultivation!

[all] For the cultivation!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The harvest must be reaped.

The wheat separated from the chaff.

[Sarah whimpers]

[Aden] For the harvest!

[all] For the harvest!

[Sarah pants]

I'm not going anywhere.

[blood squelches]

The harvest ceremony is complete.

We now join Elder [indistinct]...

in welcoming his bride.

[women singing indistinctly]

[singing continues]

We celebrate their binding

as it strengthens the future of our family.

You'll come to love it here.

I promise.

With your commitment to the family...

and to our future...

I bind you in love and protection

of the seven families.

I bless your thoughts.

May they be pure...

and wise.

I bless your bodies.

May they be strong to serve the family.

Lastly, I bless your lips.

May only praise...

ever be uttered from them.

[Liz whimpers]

They have taken

the honored position of service and marriage

to each other.

We, the family...

will support you and guide you

on your journey together.
