Refugees in Southeast Asia are so numerous as to be beyond help...

within 150 miles of the former U.S.

border to satisfy the guerrilla group's demand...

which was unavailable when something might have still been done.

The oceans are rising, and fast.

Whether this can come in time to prepare for

the melt that this summer's expected record...

I'll be there

What's up?

My mother died.

That sucks

Do you think I can get 20 bucks?

River Mouth, Oregon, Michael

Shields, Shields.

The last polar bear living in the wild died in Siberia

this week, according to ITAR-TASS, the Russian news agency.

The bear, which had been tranquilized and relocated...

This is the News at 5 o'clock.

Tension mounts in the Far East.

The Peace Talks between Indians.

Man, you thought you got away!

Nobody gets away, dude!

And today, the Dalai Lama broadcast a plea for sanity

in the crisis, saying the danger to civilization was

at an all-time high, that human needs are one, and

must be addressed by a single nation, the nation of humankind.

Cool weather in the West is the envy of folks on the rest

of the continent, where only tropical storms have

provided relief from three weeks of temperatures in the upper 90s.

The President, campaigning among troops in the Arctic,

said polar ports are crucial to North American

security, and that Eskimo terrorists would suffer the consequences.

He said he'd come back.

I'm gonna

call somebody, all right?

Just hang in there, okay?

And feel its power over our lives.

If we have faith and stay the course,

then we know eternal life is ours.

M'lady.

I'm sorry I missed the funeral.

Come with me.

Dad's in here.

There was an accident.

This boy died.

Dad, look who's here.

Russell.

Dad.

Thank you for coming.

We'll be having dinner here tomorrow.

I'll expect you.

Yeah, I, uh, I'm really going to have to get out of town quick.

I have a professor covering my courses.

But it's been so long.

This is Mr. Barnes, the lawyer for the estate.

How do you do? Russell Marsh. My condolences.

Thank you.

I'm sure the two of you have a lot to discuss.

Russell...

We'll talk later.

Perhaps we can meet at my office in a few days.

I'd like to get out of town as quickly as possible.

Well, this isn't the sort of thing that you can do over the phone.

Fine, let's just take care of it now.

Actually, there's the auction at the end of the week.

Auction for what?

We're selling your grandmother's house.

Oh, your sister should have told you, and now she didn't.

So, what else does the will say?

The will divides the proceeds from the sale equally between the two of you.

That's the way my mom wanted it?

Your mother hoped that by giving you this responsibility, she

would attempt to mend the divide between you and your family.

That was my mom for you.

The eternal optimist.

Listen, Mr. Barnes, I would really just like to

get everything taken care of as quickly as possible.

Is there any way we could just hold the auction tomorrow?

I'm afraid that the Secretary of the Preservation Society must be there.

Okay, fine.

Well, then I'd like the keys to the house.

I wouldn't recommend going over there right now.

The fumigators have the whole place closed up.

Nobody gets in until after the auction.

Excuse us, please.

What did you do to me?

Beep. Beep.

Keeps

She's gone

Oh, this is my husband, Jake.

- Hello. - Brother. - Nice to meet you.

I heard a lot about you.

Danny I'm sorry to make it Mike.

It's okay.

You know what

Come on let me get a picture of you two

Okay, come on closer closer

Maybe you want to take some pictures while you're here.

Um, are you sure you don't want to stay at the house?

No, no, I'll be fine.

I'm already booked into the motel, so I need some time.

OK, well, just give me a call tomorrow.

Come by around 5.

- OK. - Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Bye, Mike.

That's, hey, a little different.

Yeah, it's a little different.

Danny tells me you were, um, you were divorced.

Jess and I got married and moved to Salt Lake.

I don't think this fell apart, but, you know.

Salt Lake City, Utah.

I have a daughter.

Chelsea.

She's mine.

She's beautiful.

Hey, hey, Gilbert, can we get a couple beers?

Uh, just, uh, just one.

So you towed that wreck today, huh?

Yeah.

You know, I was there.

I saw that kid.

The kid from the Delta?

Coming to town, the first thing I do is see an accident.

I had that kid's head in my hand.

He knew me, too, you know.

He knew exactly who I was.

Walk right out of that into my mom's funeral.

Great to be back home.

What are things like with your dad?

Dad?

Are you serious?

It's just gotten worse.

I mean, he's so informal.

He's crazy.

I mean, he's obviously gone off the deep end.

I mean, he's wearing a purple jumpsuit at my mom's wake.

You know, what I was thinking about is Trout Hill.

You know, we used to take Julie and, uh, Mary up there.

Julie Barnes, for sure.

Like I didn't forget anything man, I didn't forget anything

And the first thing I did when I came here, I went to the Netship.

Well, you know, things are a lot different now.

We made a lot of plans there together.

Yeah, when I was there, I saw, I don't know what I saw, actually.

Are you faking it with Julian?

You know, it's just figuring things out, you know.

I guess we never talked about it.

It's a long time ago

Let's drop those scores

They go in RVs, campers, cars, and busses.

It seems that the hospital...

Hello.

Yeah.

Hey, Russ.

I was just, uh, calling to see how you're doing.

I was, um, it was good to see you.

I'm good.

- I'm good. - It was good to see you.

I don't know, if maybe, you know, tomorrow you

want to get together, have a drink or something.

10, 10.30.

You know, I may have to take off for a bit.

You know, the tow truck thing.

Okay, cool, cool.

Talk to you later.

Bye.

FUCKING FREAKS!

You're the nephew.

No, my father is.

Listen, my sister said she was doing better.

Can we get her out of here?

A polar chart for you.

The last few months, she seems to be getting more excitable.

Don't visit very often, do you?

No.

Well, you'll find her very difficult to talk to.

Your nephew's here.

And Josie

It's me your grandnephew Russell Russell Oh, give me a kiss.

Oh Look how you've grown How you doing they don't

listen here no one listens oh It's been a long time.

You need to stay away How is your mother?

She's she's fine She left something for you in case

she dies Something at the mansion, it's just for you.

Don't let those salty bitches get their hands on it.

What is it?

It's in the basement.

It's in the furnace

N-Nurse!

Nurse!

They won't let me talk much.

Who won't let you talk?

Russ, tell Jake and Dad how you got the job as chair.

Um, there's not really much to tell, you know.

The position came up, and colleagues submitted my

name, and the department voted for me by a majority.

Well, the man they expected it to go to won the Nobel Prize.

Oh, no, it was that Pulitzer.

He won the Pulitzer.

But, yeah, he hadn't written very much since then, so...

You're writing a book on the Old West, aren't you?

Yeah, I'm trying.

I'm trying.

There's more rolls, if you like.

So, how's the, uh, how's the church?

How's the gay life treating you, Russell?

Is it my life?

Is it satisfying?

Are you fulfilled?

What do you want to know?

You want to know what we do?

Danny, please, just stay out of this.

Look, I came back for Danny's sake and for my mom, that's all.

Tony, these are sensational rolls.

They're store-bought.

Yes, but they're wild caught.

You're drunk.

Yes, I am.

- I am. - I am.

But apparently that is the only way that I can get to a dinner with you.

But that does not change the fact that I am gay.

And it doesn't change the fact that you've spent the last ten

years pitching the same tired Joseph Smith frontier horse shit to

anyone who'll buy it because apparently nobody knows anything anymore.

What is a real church, Russell?

I don't know that.

The old ones have always been with us.

The Christians 2,000 years ago drawing a fish for their sign.

And 10,000 years before that in Mesopotamia.

In the span of a single lifetime, suddenly you have

planting seed and harvesting, buying and selling land, accounting.

Did Christ or Moses or...

Would it be possible just for one night to go without a fucking sermon?

All we want is... What are you talking about?

What does that mean? What does that mean, we want?

We just wish you could raise a family.

- Why? - I wasn't raised in one.

Russell.

Think of the legacy you could leave.

If you want some grandchildren, you should set

these two guys on that, because I am out of the running.

You know, you made me what I am.

We've been trying to have kids for a long time now.

I don't have anything to thank you for.

Everything I have today comes from the

distance that I put between myself and this family.

I'm sorry, what I said down there, I had no idea.

I know, I hadn't told you.

That was rough, wasn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

I guess there's no bringing you two together.

I'm gonna take off tomorrow.

Oh, come on.

What did you expect? This isn't my life anymore.

Well, your life includes being the chair of a

department of the finest university in the Northwest.

Now, I'm no college professor like you, but it sounds to

me like you're the boss and you could do whatever you want.

But I guess you are doing whatever you want.

I mean, God forbid you see something through or give somebody a second chance.

I stayed, Russell.

I was here the whole time.

I held her when she was sick.

I was here the whole time.

I don't understand how you...

That's right, you don't understand.

And I don't understand you.

Nobody understands you, Russell.

We love you, but nobody understands you.

I don't know what else I'm going to say.

Julie's a fox.

If you don't get her, I'm going to have to.

Yeah.

I'll admit, she's pretty nice.

She's bad.

Definitely.

- Oh, Derek. - Oh, oh, Derek.

Oh.

Christine Brinkley. Christine Brinkley.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Heather Locklear.

Heather Locklear. Oh, that's the one I want to do.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I should be in my math class with these three chicks that sit behind me.

Just feel so bad. I mean, I had no idea they were trying to have kids.

Hey, look at this.

I've seen that, man.

What are you talking about?

Used to be one of my grandparents' place.

My grandfather, he was in the Pacific.

- Yeah? - He brought it back.

It's some kind of an idol or part of an idol.

Guess where I found it?

My motel room this morning.

They're probably making them for tourists.

Look at this.

It's not writing.

- It's not a language. - I know.

Dagon.

Naturally, your father's church.

- Yeah. - Let me see that.

There was a cargo cult in the South Sea Islands.

Once everybody in River Mouth had one of these.

The islanders used them for human sacrifice

to bring up the old ones from under the sea.

That's...

That's what it is.

- I... - Yeah. - What's my...

- What's my second guess? - Gilbert!

What is this guy?

Remember Ray Roebuck?

Yeah.

You got any fresh pretzels?

Just tell the story, please.

I'm dying. I'm dying here.

You and Ray.

Summer of 1967.

Ray and I were pursuiting about a mile off the Pedro Bank.

Yeah, and, uh, you've been tripping your asses off for, uh, about five days.

All right, so we've been taking some drugs.

All right, so you guys are an ass, and what happens?

You and Ray in the boat, very romantic.

You know how, when you're purse-seining, you pick up all

kinds of things that you're not actually trying to catch?

Yes.

Well, one night, you pick up this thing in the neck.

It looked like...

a giant baby.

I'm cutting you off.

What?

You talked too much.

Finish the story.

So, what's the connection between this...

Hey, hey, hey, I'm sorry.

- Just finish the story. - Hi, guys.

Hey.

- Hey. - Russ, this is my friend Susan.

Mike, you know Susan.

Heard a lot about you.

Oh, really?

Good things, I hope.

Uh, we ran into a guy who broke down by the bridge.

Uh, I said we were headed over here if he called.

I think it's his radiator.

Oh, you're still working?

Yeah.

So, we're gonna swim tomorrow.

We're all fixed at the filter.

Oh, you should come.

Bring your brother here.

Oh, Russ doesn't swim.

He's afraid.

- Thank you. - Just let everyone know.

- I appreciate that. - He doesn't swim.

You don't swim.

- Grew up on an island. - You don't swim.

It's only an island if you look at it from the ocean's perspective.

Mm-hmm.

Well, go fix a car, but please, you know, give me a call, like a message.

Oh, I have to run, too, so I just want

to make sure we're on for tomorrow at noon.

Yes, I... Yes, for the...

- How many times? - I will be there.

You ready?

Call me. Call me.

All right, rack him up.

Well, you should come over tomorrow.

Nice to have a barbecue.

It's a sad time for everyone.

Yeah, it is.

Apparently, that's the way people deal with

their grief around here, just eat barbecue.

Mm-hmm.

No, no. Russ is the lowly chair of the history department at Cascadia.

What about you?

What do you do?

I work in the sea lion caves.

- Yeah. - Oh, in the sea lion caves.

- Oh, yeah. - Wow.

Okay.

You don't remember me from school, do you?

I don't think so.

No?

So you staying around for the May Festival?

I don't think so.

I really liked it.

My... my husband has a book about these.

Really?

- A book? - What book?

Oh, I wouldn't know.

Just some old history book.

You should come check it out sometime.

Actually, you should stop by and see me at work

this week, and then we could just run to my

house, grab some lunch, take a look at that old book.

My husband's in a wheelchair, so he doesn't get much company.

You guys would get along great, though.

Watches the History Channel all the time.

Big fan.

Okay. So, you want me to meet you at work, or...

Sea Lion Caves.

Yeah.

I'd like to see this book.

Great.

It's a date?

It's a date.

Who are you?

- Relax. - Just take it easy.

Take it easy. Give me the rock. Give me the rock.

Come on.

You want to know what this is?

You want some answers?

I'll give you answers.

Fine. Get over to the liquor store and get me a bottle and a six-pack.

- OK. OK. - Meet me at the dock.

You're not from here.

It's 1846

Don't you want your receipt?

Hey, old man.

Got your booze.

All right?

They said they'd never die.

My grandmother told me, she told me there was an

island covered with a ruined city out there in the

middle of the Pacific, and boats from River Mouth put in there.

Captain Marsh said, you had to see how beautiful it was, how rich.

They dropped their nets into the water

and the fish would just swim towards them.

They held their rituals in the Netsheds, in human things!

And they're meeting in there again now!

There were people.

There were fuckin' people, man.

Elizabeth Parnell, Frank Hoeks, Robert Campbell.

You know who they were?

Do you give a shit?

These were the kids that disappeared.

They were my friends!

Unit 1 and Unit 1, do you read me?

A small fire just broke out at North Lake.

I seen what went on in those houses, those

big houses up there on Gable at night, man.

When my great-uncle tried to stop them.

They came out of the sea

and killed lots of people.

You know what a shoggoth is?

You ever hear of it?

They come back.

And everybody goes with them back into the sea!

The ape children drowning!

Get in the car.

- No. - Get in the car. - No.

- Get in the car. - No.

What's your name?

- Julia. - Hi, nice to meet you.

My name's Russell Marsh.

Take a look at my driver's license.

Right there. I'm staying right down the road, lamp ladder in, room 212.

Call your parents. You want to call your parents?

They'll tell you that you're getting a ride

with the most notorious homosexual in the county.

Get in the car.

What are you going to do?

What are you going to do? You going to wait until the next stranger

comes into town, going to write a little note for him on his receipt?

Huh?

Get in the damn car.

So who are they?

You don't know or you won't say, who are they, the church?

I don't know.

Nobody walks.

They all stay in their cars.

And I work the night shift anyway, so I never see any of them.

Most nights I take the cliffside bus, and there's never even anybody on it.

I don't even know what these people do for money.

So what about all the people that go missing?

You know, you're from here, you could

probably tell me more than I could tell you.

You have to watch out for deer you stay here.

Hey, you know, this is really dangerous

Hey, we really should go.

It's really dangerous!

We could get hit by a car!

Come on! My parents are really worried about me!

Let's go!

- Let's go! - Come on, please!

Please, let's go!

Please!

- Let's go! - Come on!

Let's go! Wait!

Wait!

Come on!

Let's go!

Sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?

Listen, Julia.

Right here.

All right. Listen, I know you're scared to talk.

Thanks for the ride.

Julia, wait.

- Just wait. - Julia, wait!

This is my little brother.

They took him five years ago.

He's still alive.

He leaves me messages.

Please, you have to find him.

His name is Kellen.

You're the only person who can help us.

Okay. Please find your brother.

- It's okay. - Please.

- It'll be okay. - I'll find him.

I'll find him.

Hey, so, uh, where are all the sea lions?

Oh, you know what they say about sea lions?

They were fish who evolved into men.

Then they changed their minds.

Do you remember coming here when you were five years old?

Told your mom that you were gonna marry her?

Live in that lighthouse?

Where she would be the queen of the sea?

You said it was a secret.

It's really not a big deal.

The world will change.

You mind telling me how you feel?

I used to take care of your mom.

She told me all kinds of stories.

She was very sweet.

It's a fairy tale.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.

And still go see some bears

Don't worry.

Yeah, that's something you don't see every day.

They'd take your head off if they had the chance.

They're so beautiful.

Wanna go back to the house, grab some lunch, take a look at that little book?

Yeah, let's do that.

Baby.

Honey, this is Russell.

Hey, Russell.

Hi, nice to meet you. Good to see you, buddy.

Good to see you.

Yeah, um, Susan was telling me you have a book on my phone.

Come on.

What the fuck?

Come on!

I found this object, and, uh...

Hey, make yourself at home, man.

Listen, Susan, it's, uh, getting late.

I'm gonna have to go into town to see the lawyers.

Mm-hmm. I could just see that book of your husband's.

That would be great.

Yeah.

I need your help with something.

What do you need?

Come here.

I want you to give me a baby.

Ralph's infertile.

I mean, you don't even have to have sex.

Susan, I can't.

- I can't. - I can't. - I bet you'd like it.

Stop.

Stop.

Susan, your husband's right downstairs.

Damien, fuck your ass.

Stop it.

Stop it!

Hey, uh, Ralph.

Um, listen, Susan told me you had a, uh, a book.

I-I found this, uh, object the other day, and, uh...

I'll go make lunch.

Have a seat, buddy.

She's gonna have lunch ready in a minute.

Game's on.

Yeah, she-she was telling me that you had, uh, an old book or something.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Listen, I mean, I-I don't have to take up

a lot of your time if you just, you know...

Oh, that's cool.

I mean, I can go get it if you just...

No, no, no, that's all right, man.

I'll-w-we'll get to that.

Here's my story, man.

A year ago, I'm, uh, working some construction down in the

marshlands, fucking around on the second story on

a beam, and, uh, and I fell.

And a piece of rebar, exposed rebar, right through my

testicles, like a pair of marshmallows, put me in this chair.

- I'm sorry. - Oh, it's all right.

I can still make a call, but no one's on the line, you know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so, anyway, I say I'll get my legs back, but...

Can you help me?

Oh, yeah, sorry.

What do you need? No, Russell, Russell.

I need you to help me have a kid.

Right.

So, Susan needs your swimmers.

Yeah, no, I got that.

I didn't know you guys were both involved in this.

So, why me?

Why am I so special?

Because you're good looking.

Smart.

You don't live here.

No complications.

Don't you want to have a piece of yourself walking around in the world?

Um, it's a, uh, it's a lovely offer, um,

but, um, I think I'm gonna have to say no.

Let's eat.

Shall we, boys?

Come on.

I'm swole.

Ten.

Ten thousand dollars.

It's not about the money, Ralph, okay?

- Fifty. - Fifty thousand dollars.

Just please stop, okay? I... I just came over so I could see the book, okay?

So just show me the book and I'll go, okay?

- Okay. - Plenty of other fish in the sea.

Fine. I understand. I just need to see the book.

How are you feeling, Russ?

I'm fine.

I just need to get you.

Is there something I didn't agree with you?

No.

Yeah, well, let's go. No, let me go.

Let's go nuts.

They came, I was there.

And killed lots of people.

I can't believe you.

You're trying to tell me your father and his church, they're killing people.

Why not? I have no idea what my dad's been doing.

Jonestown Massacre?

Doesn't ring a bell.

1970s, cult from San Francisco, thinks it's going to be a great idea.

Let's go down to South America.

Let's all go to heaven at once.

They drink a batch of poison Kool-Aid.

Hundreds of them, Mike.

Listen, I don't know what it is.

I don't know, but it is not a memorial.

I don't know what to think of what you're telling me.

It just doesn't seem right at all.

Well, your name's on the wall.

- Come on, baby. - Let's go.

Do you really need to do this?

Yeah, I do need to do this.

Well, do you want to take this?

Jesus Christ, what the hell are you doing with this thing in your car?

Everything's more fun with a gun, right?

Are you fucking crazy? You have a daughter, man.

Put this thing away. I don't want to see this.

Just be here when I get out.

Okay.

If anybody comes, I'll honk.

Listen, thank you.

Just hurry up.

Hello, Mike.

Hey, Ben, you gonna give me a hard time?

Yeah.

What are you doing out here?

I thought I had a call.

Didn't happen, huh?

No, but I'm taking off, though.

OK, see you later.

Good luck.

Come in.

Come in.

Get in.

Where are your parents?

Is this your, uh, is this your house?

We lived downstairs.

We're waiting.

What do you mean, what are you waiting for?

Cthulhu

Oh yeah?

Is that right?

Hey, listen, you know, I know someone who knows you.

You know that, your sister?

I don't have a sister.

Yeah, yeah, you know, uh, she gave me your, uh...

she gave me your picture.

Julia Miles.

Right?

I can't.

The mind's eye...

the mind's eye goes away, too.

That's right.

- That's right. - Listen.

We gotta get out of here.

What the hell happened to you?

What the hell happened to you?

I waited for you, but a cop showed up.

I looked around until about three in the morning.

I came out and you were gone.

You were gone.

You said you'd be there and you were gone.

I came back for you.

Just slow down, okay?

What are you trying to tell me?

I'm trying to tell you that the kids said they live underground.

- They? - The giant salamanders?

Yeah, the giant salamanders, but you weren't there.

I'm telling you, they were huge.

They were all over the place, Mike.

Russ, I think you...

Yeah?

I think you need to slow down.

Oh, I'm crazy? Okay. Well, when we go back there and find

the camera that took pictures of them, you'll believe me.

How do you explain the fact that when I

got out of the tunnel, I was at 11th and Main?

That means that that tunnel...

You're talking about the Shanghai tunnels, Russ.

- Oh, right, right, right. - Because that

Chinese guy came and talked to us in high school.

And you just believe every fucking piece of shit that you hear?

We've both been down there.

What about the names in the net shed, huh?

What about the names in the net shed? Well, I'm sure there's...

I'm sure that there's an explanation.

Oh, what is that, UFOs?

- I need some... - I need some, uh, jelly.

Do you have any jelly?

Russ, you've been up for, like, two...

Do you have any fucking jelly?

You've been up for two days. Do you have any jelly?

It's a very simple question.

Do you have any jelly? Why don't you just relax

and stay here for a little bit and get some rest?

You're a very bad host, man.

You know he's right.

Dreaming of the open road, but afraid of today's dangerous world.

Well, don't be, we got a new inquiry.

A gated community with exclusive access to Interstate 805.

Behind our 24-hour armed security perimeter.

At the marshlands, the world is yours.

Back for so long.

Allow you to live your life...

or you.

Hey, Mike, let me ask you a question.

What? When was the last time you met someone who

lives in Rivermouth but who used to live somewhere else?

- I don't know. - I don't pay attention.

Well, you should start paying some attention.

Everybody I've met in the past two days

has been someone who I've known my whole life.

- Right? - So who are all these people

driving around at midnight buying frozen yogurt?

I don't know, Russ.

How come they're holding services out at the net shed all of a sudden?

I think they're selling to church.

Oh, are they? You know that for a fact?

No.

Exactly.

So how do you explain the girl and her brother?

I don't know.

You need to call the sheriff or something.

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna call the sheriff.

That's a great idea.

Hey, sheriff.

Uh, yeah, it's Russell Marsh.

- I... - I was, uh...

I'm not going to call the sheriff, Mike.

- Come on, Mike. - Think about it.

Why did you take me there last night if you weren't just a little bit curious?

I wanted to help and, you know, that net shed and going there with you, it's...

reminds me of a part of my life that made sense.

You know that story, the lion rich in the wardrobe, right?

It's World War II.

These kids, they go into this wardrobe.

And they go into it, and when they step

through, they come into this other place, you know?

And as they grow up, two of them, they fall in love,

and they become the king and the queen, and, you know,

they have adventures, and they spend their whole lives there.

They decide to go back, and when they do,

they step right into where they left off.

They're five years old, it's World War II, and their aunt, she's calling them.

What just happened, you know, it feels a lot like that to me you

know, we've gone back to the net shit

We were kids and we fooled

around You know to me it was always an extension of our friendship for us

No, it still feels that way to me just you

know, it just was never a gay thing for me

I don't want you to feel any pressure for me.

I mean

I mean, I'd like to put some pressure on you, but...

It's not like I can just, you

know, change my life and...

Be a gay guy, you know what I mean?

Just...

Well, yeah, there's, you know, the membership fees, the test, so...

Just saying, you know, it's...

Right now, lying here, this is nice.

I guess.

Where are we going?

Well, let me get some breakfast and we'll go look for your blind boy.

So you believe me now?

Well, we'll see.

Admire the change of attitude.

Let me check my mail.

Hey, what's up dude?

Oh my god!

Please clear out.

Wait!

- Wait! - Wait!

Hold on a second. I want to talk to my lawyer.

Oh, yeah, you like this?

Faggot goes off to jail?

You're selling your fucking kids for fucking prosperity?

Hope it's fucking worth it!

Hope it's really fucking worth it!

You're a bunch of fucking stupid, fucking

ignorant, fucking village fucking people!

You're a fucking bunch of fucking idiots!

Now fucking keep watching!

You're all gonna fucking die!

Oh, Russell Marsh.

Guys like you never get sent to the chair.

Do they?

Rich, powerful family like yours?

Um, I'm not gonna say anything if I don't have a lawyer here.

You want your call?

I'll dial the number for you.

I'll hold it to your ear.

I'm a public servant.

Now, who could you call that would possibly want to try and help you?

Your family has been sucking the blood and

sweat out of this town for a hundred years!

You're an educated guy, Russ.

What?

Rough beast.

It's our come round at last.

Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born.

I'm your rough beast, Russ.

I'm gonna bring down your whole family.

What is this?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I woke up.

It was in my motel the day after my mother's funeral.

Miles' boy didn't commit suicide.

We know you killed him with this.

All right, he took me down into the basement, okay?

I was being chased.

- Right? - It went on for miles.

- Go there. - Check it out yourself.

- You'll see. - What did the boy tell you?

He said they were waiting for something.

Listen, Milly, I'm telling you, they were creatures.

I don't know what they were. They were things, and they were everywhere.

They were on the ground.

They were on the ceiling. They were everywhere.

We know what happened.

It's not 1975.

People know the world is coming apart because we

let pieces of shit like you and their sleazy two

lawyers open every door and window in the house.

We're done with your kind.

You're almost hidden in colleges, public

television stations, and soon you'll be gone.

Well, I guess, then, you better get an eyeful of me.

I am.

I just want to see what something like you looks like before I go home.

Something he'll never do again.

I was just...

curious.

Into your pockets.

Any prosthetic devices, contact lenses.

Yeah, but I can't see her without my contacts.

Doesn't matter.

You're not going anywhere.

Don't come home!

Take it easy.

Hey!

Susan!

Susan!

Hey, wait up!

Hey!

Teach dress, go on there!

Hey, this is tuna salad!

Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Good.

You wanna tell me what happened?

You don't remember?

- No. - You were sick.

You were so sick.

You were ranting and raving and you flew out of

the house and I tried to stop you but I couldn't.

- Really? - Oh, is that what happened?

Yeah.

Stop lying.

You tell me what the fuck is going on.

- You raped me! - You have no idea.

The whole world is yours and you're just gonna shit all over it.

Then you fucking get arrested.

You tell me what the hell's going on, you

tell me what the hell's going on right now.

You know that you wanted me.

You just wanted a minute.

Pay for it.

Going to the festival tonight, Professor?

No, I never really enjoyed the May Festival.

I'm just gonna go to the auction of my mother's

estate and then I shall depart this veil of tears.

You're gonna die.

No, no.

Just going home.

This is your home, Professor.

You're like a fresh wind that surrounds this town like waking does a dream.

You'll come see us again soon?

I don't plan on it.

What time do you have?

Quarter to five.

I must be off.

Your money is no good here, Prince.

I didn't.

Russell, I'm making this tape at the beginning of April.

We just heard about your appointment.

I'm so proud.

You were completely justified in removing yourself from this family.

I'll tell you what I know.

I won't pretend to understand it entirely.

Every generation of Marsh men has died

right around the time their grandsons were born.

Right around the first of May.

That's always the first time you can smell the sea.

It breaks my heart to have been so cold to

my own child, but I wanted you away from him.

When you were born, your grandfather died, they said, but he didn't die.

I've seen him.

He went back to where he came from.

He went into the sea.

Hello, Russell.

I implore you not to turn away.

The most wonderful thing you could ever imagine.

Eternal life.

And in the hall of Cthulhu, we shall dwell forever.

I trust we've managed to plumb an air out of you.

I cared for your mother.

A great deal.

But what's two years on a life, or ten, or

even a hundred, when it's not going to last anyway?

Our bodies will last a hundred thousand years in the sea.

They drive and drive the highways we

built, even though it's destroying their world.

Great Thulu carries us.

They keep moving, searching.

They look into his eye for it.

All they have is the moment, and they can't bear it.

They can't bear the loneliness of it.

When the waters rise into their cities, everything

shall be ours, with you to lead us, my glorious son.

You are listening to the emergency broadcast system.

Please be advised, this is not a test.

Violence is taking place in coastal areas.

Residents of Seaside and Rivermount Counties are

advised to remain inside with doors and windows locked

until further notice or until law enforcement can reach them.

Please be advised, this is not a test.

We have to get Danni.

Yeah, we'll get her.

We'll get Danni.

How much shot gas do you have in your reserve tanks?

I have to fill the tank.

We'll take, uh, we'll take the creek highway.

We'll avoid the river.

Mike.

It's going to be all right.

I'm going to drive.

I'm going to get out of town.

They're going into the sea.

That was their plan all along.

They're going back in the sea.

And if you can't find it, and God has held this revelation to be true.

Two o'clock, Redditch.

Meantime, you're listening.

Go, go, go.

Jesus Christ.

Fuck, what's he doing?

Watch out, watch out!

Stop, stop!

- Back up! - Get down!

Bye!

Call my job

President of the Starship Company.

I don't know why I'm alive.

Majority of American representatives have

failed to appear on the floor of the Congress.

Everyone is asking, who is in charge of the world?

I'll give you 15 minutes, and then you go.

Alright?

Megan, anyone comes out, I don't care who it is, you put a bullet in them.

Don't ask, just shoot.

Don't take long.

I'll be here.

You better be.

Stay down!

Oh, oh, Russell.

Is that you?

Russell, I'm so hap...

They're not going anywhere, sweetie.

They're coming to us.

Feng Lui met nasa, narul petahim!

Feng Lui met

Petahim!

Would you like to see your children?

He's a far away friend.

Mike!

Don't touch me.

Don't fucking die.

Mike!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

I don't know any of you. I don't know you.

Mike!

Mike, don't touch me!

Mike!

My son!

This is your rightful place!

Everything is yours!

The old world is dying and we are giving birth to the new!

Look!

They come!

Now, make sacrifice.

Russ, what are you doing?

The man you loved.

What greater gift?

Russ, it's Mike.

Do it, Russell!

Make sacrifice!

Russ!

Look!

Look into the red eye of your God!

Russ, it's Mike.

Russ.

Ruff!
