[tense ethereal music plays]

[crops rustle in wind]

[car engine idling]

[Mr. Phillips] We'll call an elder meeting in the morning.

In the car, please. Right now.

[dogs bark in distance]

-[Adam] I'll leave this with you. -Thank you.

[car doors close]

[car recedes]

He says you caught him trying to steal our van.

I don't know whether he was just trying to sleep in it, or…

Well, he says he's homeless, so…

He was the man from the river.

I think we should help him.

Adam, we owe him.

If it wasn't for him, Grace wouldn't be here.

We will. The Phillips are taking him in.

He'll stay in their outhouse, at least for tonight.

"Whomever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord."

I'd better go check on Grace.

-[thunder rumbles] -Sister Hannah, everything okay?

I need to talk to you.

[ominous music plays]

[Rosie] If you're going to go, it has to be now.

[key rattles]

[thunder rumbles]

She's let my husband out.

[Adam and Hannah speak indistinctly]

What if she knows?!

[Hannah] I think we need to take this higher--

[Adam] We can't take this higher with Mr. Phillips.

This has to stay between us.

We'll deal with it as a family.

[Hannah] In here.

Here, take this.

Lucky your husband's an elder,

otherwise I would have been straight round Mr. Phillips.

Adam doesn't want to tell him.

Grace?

You got all your things together? Toothbrush? Come on, quickly!

[Grace] Almost ready!

Can I at least say goodbye?

You dare to ask me that?

After what you've done?

-I'm sorry. -No.

My kids have lost their father because of you.

Please.

-Please don't take her. -[scoffs]

[footsteps recede]

Not Grace.

I know I deserve to be punished, but she's not done anything wrong.

[breath trembles]

Did he say where he was going?

[melancholic music plays]

Was it the same one as before?

-I don't-- -Just tell me.

You owe me that.

She's called Charley.

[sobs]

[Hannah sighs heavily]

Adam says you're not to leave this room unless it's to go to the bathroom.

If it was up to me,

I'd lock you in.

Grace?

You ready? Hey, there we go.

Come on, let's go over to my house.

-You got your bag? -[Grace] Is Mummy coming?

No, Mummy wants to stay here, but you can have a cuddle with baby Noah.

-[Grace] Okay. -He's going to be very excited to see you.

[door closes]

[sobs]

[somber theme music plays]

[whispers prayer indistinctly]

[objects clatter distantly]

[footsteps approach]

Thank you for not involving Mr. Phillips.

I should have. You know that.

You've got off lightly.

I know.

It's bad enough my brother… Satan's army, but you?

How could you do this to me, Rosie?

You know how much pressure I'm under with the mill and Isaac.

I'm sorry.

I am an elder now. The people look to me to lead by example.

And I cannot have a willful wife.

You are to sleep here in this room.

During the day, you go next door to be supervised by Hannah.

-[sweeping intriguing music plays] -[Noah cries]

[Rosie] After I've done the laundry, I'll mop the kitchen floor.

[Adam] You will speak of this to no one.

And remain separated from Grace until I say otherwise.

[telephone rings downstairs]

[Hannah] Rosie?

[sternly] Rosie?

[phone beeps]

What do you mean, "a meltdown"?

Well, that's all she said.

Sister Amy wants you to go in.

Which means I'll have to go in with you.

[door opens]

[children play and chatter outside]

[Rosie, softly] Grace?

Hey.

Can I come in?

How are you doing?

Are you okay?

Sister Amy said that you'd been crying and that you didn't want to come out.

I want to come home.

I know you do, darling. Listen.

Mummy said sorry to everyone.

So everything's going to go back to normal.

You need to keep this in.

And listen to your teachers.

Okay?

Because even if we're not together,

I'm still with you, I'm here.

So any time you miss me,

you just put your hand right here,

and I'm with you.

I love you.

[Grace] Love you too.

[chuckles softly]

[Rosie] She seems to be okay now.

-Can you not? -Sorry.

Just go. I'll catch you up.

Are you sure that's allowed?

Go home.

[children continue playing]

[gate buzzes]

Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, hold the gate.

Oh, shit. Rosie, I need to get in and give this to Anthony.

-Please. -They won't let you in, you know.

I just want him to know I still love him. That it's okay.

He needs to know that I'm sorry for what they did--

I can't. I'm in enough trouble.

[tense music plays]

-If-- if you need to leave, I'll help you. -[scoffs]

You can't talk to me.

-Just tell me-- -Don't talk to me. I have to go.

[Noah coos gently]

I want him out of my house. Every last sign of him.

Clothes and shoes. Are you going to help me?

-[cries] -Shall I look after him for a while?

W-Why? Do you think you know more about babies than me?

-[sobs] -Hannah, please.

I'm leaking.

I'm bleeding.

I hate you.

[sobs] It's a mess.

Four kids.

No money.

No help.

[knocking at door]

[Hannah] I'm sorry, um…

I don't know what to do.

We're family, Hannah. We'll share your burden.

This is Hannah's paperwork.

Thank you.

-[Noah stirs] -[Rosie] It's all right, Noah. Come on.

Let's start with the mortgage, shall we?

-Take a seat, Hannah. -[distant clattering]

[serene music plays]

[distant rustling]

Curious how Isaac escaped.

Locked door. How do you think he managed that?

[Noah cries]

Oh, dear.

Would you like to…?

Oh, yes. I'll do the honors.

This little stinker bell. [chuckles]

-[grunts] -I'll take that out to the unchosen.

Sam?

The old couple put me up in their outhouse.

Just a couple of days.

-Thanks for not telling 'em the truth. -I don't know the truth.

I know you're in trouble. I know the police are looking for you.

Did you run away from prison?

If I told you the truth, Rosie, you wouldn't believe me.

Nobody ever does.

They look at me and judge me

for a mistake I made when I was just 16 years old.

I can't move past this because they won't let me.

Um, except you. [chuckles]

You helped me.

[gentle hopeful music plays]

And the girl?

Never heard from her again.

Listen, the stuff I was talking to you about.

About, um…

repentance and all that.

I meant it.

Look, you never have to be frightened of me, Rosie, okay?

Okay.

-Rosie, we need to go. -[Noah cries]

Now!

What happened in there?

Nothing happened. I just want to go home.

Did Mr. Phillips…?

[Noah cries]

Noah. Oh, he's been sick.

What?

Uh, uh, I must have dropped his muslin.

[Mrs. Phillips] She left…

-[Mr. Phillips] Nothing happened. -…more upset than when she arrived!

-So you did something to her! -[Mr. Phillips] Do not raise your voice.

[Mrs. Phillips] But what did you say to her?

Did you say something to her? What did you do to her?

[Mr. Phillips] I did nothing.

Delicious.

[Mrs. Phillips] Not in my house, for the love of God!

That poor girl came here to ask for help.

Why can't you keep your filthy hands to your…

-[struggling] -[Mr. Phillips] Shut up!

-Get off her! Get off her! -Shut--

[Rosie exclaims and groans]

Rosie!

[disquieting music plays]

[Mrs. Phillips] It's not the right skin tone for you, but…

it'll have to do.

What happened today, don't judge.

I wouldn't. I'm not--

It's the drink.

A sickness.

He can't control himself.

Ever since…

Mrs. Phillips, if he hurts you--

I'm too old to do anything but keep my trust in the Lord

that I will find peace in the next world.

But this life…

Men in the Fellowship, Rosie…

the one thing they never do is change.

Sister Rosie.

I hope,

I trust,

we can keep this unfortunate incident between us.

I see no reason to involve my husband.

But Sam, the man that saved Grace,

he needs our help.

Somewhere to live, a job.

[chuckles]

I'll see what I can do.

[solemn lilting music plays]

[Hannah] Isaac will pick his things up from the sawmill.

Make sure he gets his Bible.

He can read what happens to adulterers.

[objects thud in trunk]

Thanks, Sam.

[engine starts]

[tools whir nearby]

[man in distance] Jonathan, drive the fork round.

We need it in the north yard.

Tell him you're here to help. He's over there.

Go and say hello.

All right.

[man] Steve, can you bring that pallet trolley over?

It's tricky changing the blade, innit?

I used to operate a band saw. I can give it a go if you want.

[Adam] Yeah, thanks.

[man] Can you give me a hand with this?

[Mr. Phillips] He's a hard worker.

[whirs and clanks]

[clanks heavily]

[saw whirs]

All sorted.

Look, I know this is a bit awkward that your…

your church isn't very big on outsiders.

Well, we owe you a debt.

And you saved my daughter.

[sighs] I was lucky.

We all were.

You know…

right place, right time.

Adam Harrison.

Sam.

Sam Carter.

I thought you guys didn't go in for technology.

We use computers for business purposes.

Landlines, restricted online access to sanctioned websites.

So you can still look me up?

Look, I-- I want to be really straight with you, Adam.

I…

I-- I don't have any qualifications.

-I've spent time in prison. -[clears throat]

But I've paid my debt.

All I'm looking for now is just, uh…

some honest work.

A second chance.

I grew up on a farm, okay?

I-- I-- I'm used to machines. I can help you.

[chuckles] I mean, it sort of looks like you guys might need some.

My brother Isaac was in charge of maintenance.

He was running our new school build.

I'm more of an office… Well…

[telephone rings]

Excuse me.

Hello.

[man on phone] Brother Adam, Isaac's been spotted on the premises.

You sure it was my brother?

[man] Would you like to see the CCTV footage?

[Adam] Yes, send it now. Thank you.

[handset clicks]

[mouse clicks repeatedly]

[brooding music plays]

[inaudible]

You'll find your second chance in Christ.

Come to the meeting hall tonight, 7:30.

You can say I've allowed it.

[Sam] Is everything all right?

[truck door opens and closes]

[engine starts]

[truck recedes into distance]

[dialling]

[line ringing]

-Hello? -Mason?

-Sam, is that you? -Yeah, it's me.

-Listen, are the police still there? -Sam, where are you?

You said you'd come get me.

Her family, they're still harassing me.

Sam, they're saying you killed her cousin.

No, no, listen, Mason. Listen to me. That was self-defense, okay?

The man, he just jumped me.

I-I don't understand.

It was day release.

He must've recognized me from somewhere.

I didn't even realize he was in the same bloody prison.

-Jesus, Sam! -I know, I know. Change of plan.

I need you to come to me, okay?

I'd like that, but…

Well, can't stay here anymore.

[ominous music plays]

I'm frightened, Sam.

I'm frightened.

[ominous music intensifies]

Upstairs.

In there.

You were with my brother today at school. What were you doing?

He was trying to see Anthony to give him a letter.

I was there to sort out Grace.

-She was upset. -I don't believe you.

It's true. I told him I couldn't talk to him. It wasn't planned.

-And yet, you did. -I didn't, Adam, please.

You're bringing shame…

and dishonor to our family.

I'm sorry.

I could've dragged you in front of everyone,

I could've exposed your lies and your sins.

-And this is how you repay me? -I know, and I'm grateful.

You consort with my brother, an adulterer and a liar.

-I didn't know Isaac was going to-- -Every word out of your mouth is a lie.

I am a leader.

I have a reputation at stake.

Turn around.

No.

-Adam. -[clasps hand]

-[slaps] -Turn around.

Adam, you don't have to do this.

[breath trembles]

[clothes ruffle]

[sobs softly]

[Adam breathes heavily]

[gentle dreamy music plays]

[birds chirp pleasantly]

[Grace laughs]

[both laugh]

Come on, Grace.

[both laugh]

[Adam grunts and moans]

Get washed and changed. Sort yourself out.

[door opens and slams]

[steps recede downstairs]

[breathes deeply]

[brushing teeth]

When we say, "God is love," what do we mean by that?

Should we…

Are you all right, Rosie?

[Adam] …ask Him to reveal His love?

Adam forced himself on me.

[Adam] God's very existence is love.

I said no.

He didn't stop, Mum.

He hurt me.

And to honor His love for us, we must thank Him.

We must obey Him.

We must believe His word.

I'm so sorry, Rosie.

[Adam] Because He loved and He gave.

And we must do the same.

Love in our marriages.

Honor our families.

Give to our community.

God is love.

And to abide in love is to abide in God,

and God abides in you.

[all] Amen. Hallelujah.

[congregation continues affirming]

See, Adam is a… He's a good man.

[Adam] And as some of you may have noticed,

we have a newcomer here today.

I'd like to extend a warm Fellowship welcome

to Sam Carter.

[congregation] Welcome, Sam.

[Adam] Our Good Samaritan.

Welcome, Sam.

Now if you could all turn to page 702.

I'll read, "The Lord, the defense of His people."

[suspenseful music swells]

Oh, God, I thought…

Rosie, what are you doing?

-2-9-1-1. -[beeping]

[safe whirs and clicks]

Jeremiah, chapter 29:11.

Adam's favorite verse.

I need to leave. Me and Grace.

Will you help me?

Help you with what?

Leaving. Money.

Where to run to. I-- I don't know anything,

but I can't stay here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happened?

I don't feel safe.

Has somebody hurt you?

Rosie, tell me.

I don't feel safe with my husband.

[breath trembles faintly]

We'll need money.

More than this.

Uh, much more.

How long will that take?

Uh, I don't know.

Not too long. That's why I'm here.

I came in early to prove to Adam that I'm indispensable.

Hey.

Hey, don't look like that.

It's okay. I'm here. I-I'll keep you safe.

[tender music plays]

We'll bide our time until we're ready.

And then we'll go.

I found these in the outhouse.

I thought you might like to see them.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

Whoever hid them didn't want anyone to find them.

I'm really sorry if me being here is causing you trouble.

You're not.

You're not the trouble.

[sighs softly]

[footsteps receding]

[tense music plays]

Dust bags needed changing.

And I've switched the drive belts.

You've done the trick.

You must have come in early.

Appreciate it.

No worries.

Running smoother than ever.

Good job.

The amount of timber you're gonna need for that school build…

You want to take a look?

[trucks rumble and beep]

Have you ever read it?

Not really, no.

Our dad didn't allow these around the house.

[Adam] That's his loss.

Think of it as a kind of manual.

A set of instructions.

It works.

How do you know?

There's no poverty in the Fellowship.

There's no homelessness.

It's just love.

Love and family.

Oh, it's big.

Well, it needs to be. All the Fellowship kids in the area.

Four acres. All built on this land.

And are these all timber-framed structures then?

Modular.

It's all constructed off-site.

It's the biggest contract we've…

I've… ever signed.

[man in distance] Right. All right, Simon. I'll help you with that.

If you'd be interested…

we could look at making this a more permanent thing.

Like a job?

I could do with a right-hand man.

Someone who knows his way around the floor,

you could oversee management, construction.

Yes, please.

I mean, uh… yeah, I accept.

-It'll be a trial period first. -No, no, no, really.

Thank you.

I won't let you down.

[somber music plays]

[men chatter indistinctly]

[Adam] How are you getting on?

Oh. [chuckles]

Um… Mmm. [clears throat] All right, I think.

At least the bits I can understand.

Um, there was this one passage I really liked.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord."

"'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.'"

"'Plans to give you hope and a future.'"

[menacing music plays]

Jeremiah 29.

Eleven.

Of all the verses, you've, um…

It's my favorite.

How did you know?

I-I didn't.

[gentle hopeful music plays]

I don't know. It…

It just spoke to me, you know?

Hope and a future.

It's a sign.

Uh, you haven't chosen that verse.

That was God…

speaking through you.

Letting us know you're meant to be here.

[man] Boss, I think you're needed down in the main office.

A moment.

[menacing music resumes playing]

You dare

show up at the school with our children there?

You're not welcome in our community anymore.

You hear me, Isaac?

[tools clatter]

Keep away from Rosie.

Don't you dare drag my wife into your sin.

I'm not gonna be lectured by a man who separates mother from her child.

Aye, you did, didn't you?

Okay, do it to me. But kids?

I thought you had a limit.

I never want to see you again.

There you go, big man. No, I'm impressed. Well done.

You know, now that I'm out, I can see you, Adam.

I can see clearly how pathetic you are.

The devil…

has a hold of you.

No, this is exactly what I mean. Still hiding behind your Bible, hey?

You can call yourself a leader, brother. Pose and preach all you want.

You might have them fooled, but we both know you're weak.

I know how weak you are. You always have been.

-[Adam growls] -[groans]

[both grunt]

[coughs]

[Sam] Hey, hey, hey!

Get off him!

-Get off him! Get… -[grunts]

Get off! Back off, mate, all right?

-Who the fuck are you? -Sam Carter. What's it to you, anyway?

[Adam] Leave him, Sam.

[tense music plays]

[Isaac] Oh, I get it.

What you always wanted, eh, Adam?

A bit of rough trade.

I'm happy for you.

[objects clatter in box]

-Go on. Take your stuff and fuck off. -[Adam spits]

[engine starts]

[spits]

You have any brothers?

Yeah. Uh, one.

His name's Mason.

You ever fight?

No, we were usually on the same side.

Us versus the old man.

-And why'd you fight your father? -'Cause he was a bastard.

Probably still is.

Eh, Isaac could always beat me.

From when we were kids.

Well… [clears throat]

…it certainly doesn't look like he's beating you from here.

-What do you mean? -He's on the outside with nothing.

You, you've… You got everything.

A thriving business, um, a beautiful daughter…

and Rosie.

You okay locking up?

Yeah, sure.

[gentle forlorn music plays]

-[truck door opens and closes] -[engine starts]

[door closes]

[footsteps approach]

Daddy picked me up from school.

Oh, Grace!

[blissful music plays]

Oh, darling.

I have missed you.

And I will never let anyone take you away from me again.

[Adam] You know me, Rosie. I'm not a man who does well in conflict.

I have hated this… this rift that's between us.

And I thought maybe we could use it as a… as a spiritual new beginning.

A darkness before the dawn.

I'd like that.

You would?

Shepherd's pie is in the oven.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Just a bit stiff.

Sleeping on the floor.

I might just pop out for a walk.

That is, if I'm allowed.

Of course.

[wistful music plays]

[knocking on window]

Rosie, what are you doing here?

-Is Mr. Phillips in? -No.

Everything all right?

[door closes]

How-- How did you get these? The--

They're private.

How many families has Mr. Phillips broken, do you think?

How many children separated from their parents?

Grandparents cut out of their grandchildren's lives forever.

And yet, here you are,

receiving long letters, lovely photos.

Does your husband know you're still in contact with your son?

Your son that was disavowed.

What do you want?

-I'm going to see Sam. -No. Rosie.

-You're married and he's an unchosen. -That's all true.

But you're not going to stop me and you're not going to say anything.

No, Rosie, please don't take these.

I have to.

Because one day, soon,

I'm going to leave.

And I'm going to take Grace.

And to do that, I'm going to need your help.

And if you have any sense, you'll come with us.

[door opens and shuts briskly]

[cheerfully] Rosie.

What do you reckon?

It's, um, a fixer-upper.

Sort of shabby-chic shithole.

[both laugh]

It's nice.

No, it's-- it's definitely not.

[warm sentimental music plays]

But it is nicer with you here.

Whoa, whoa. T-T-T… [chuckles]

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay.

[laughs]

Fuck.

[both laugh]

Oh, God.

This isn't, um…

Well, it's… [laughs]

It's not like the films, is it?

[shoes clatter on floor]

Romantic.

First time.

I've never seen a film.

You are so fucking weird.

[both laugh]

[serene music plays]

[breath trembling]

Look at me, Rosie.

[gasps]

[both moan]

[laughs]

Why are you laughing?

Because you look happy.

Is that wrong?

[kisses]

What's that?

Mr. Phillips gave them to me.

I'm gonna get baptized. [chuckles]

Join the Fellowship.

Adam spoke to Mr. Phillips.

And they think I'm ready.

How?

It doesn't work like that. You can't just join.

Look, I know. I know that.

But there was a sign.

A sign?

From God. [chuckles]

["Marked For Death" by Emma Ruth Rundle plays]
