Original subtitles

My mama warned me,

no good would come out of marrying you.

Just look at you.

Stuck in this tin-can with you. This is my life.

This is my life!

Over, over...

You're just the same thing every day.

Makes me sick. Know that?

She was right.

You make me sick.

You are nothin' of a man.

What? You're gonna come over here and be a man now?

Is that what you're gonna do? I'd like to see you try.

Nothin'.

That's what I thought.

Oh, Jesus Christ, Paul.

What're you doin'?

You look like a fucking creeper.

Why are you standing over me like that?

Don't even tell me you're on another all night bender.

Shut up.

Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up!

And thus the voyage

- of the ss ladybug begins. - Please tell me

you're not doing what I think you're doing.

And what is that?

Shooting a video of our road trip...

Without me.

No, I was just getting a quick shot of ladybug.

Oh, God. You're so weird about your car, dude.

Do not talk about her that way, dude.

Whatever. I'm gonna do the intro.

Hi, everyone.

It's June first, 2014.

And you are about to witness the super fun,

- and scandalously uncensored... - Watch it.

Video of our road trip extravaganza.

I, Kris, will be your host.

And this sexy lady...

- No. - Yes.

Will be your driver, miss Shannon Silvers.

- I hate you. - I love you.

You've already met our stylish ride, ladybug.

The best car in the world.

The best car in the world,

who we seriously hope does not break down

ten miles outside of Los Angeles.

- She won't. - Yeah...

Um, what else?

Oh. Let me show you something.

Okay.

This is how we're gonna be spending our evenings.

- What do you think you're doing? - God.

- Wow. - Josh!

Wow. You girls scare way too easy.

That's 'cause we're girls, dipshit.

Hey, be nice.

- Hi, baby. - Hi.

So... scandalously uncensored, huh?

I didn't know this was that kind of trip.

Well, it's not.

But Kris has seen one too many "girls gone wild" videos.

- Hey, a girl can dream, right? - You know,

I do not wanna know what you dream about.

I don't really need to know what Ryan Gosling's

- "o face" looks like. - It's way more attractive than yours, Josh.

- Don't forget it. - Oh, yeah?

- How would you know? - I wouldn't.

Thank God.

Listen, it's just, it's getting late.

Maybe you guys should leave tomorrow.

Fuck that, we can drive in the dark.

It's just that it's safer if you leave tomorrow.

- You have your whole day... - Why are you so controlling?

Jeez. You guys.

This is not exactly the fond farewell I was hoping for.

Well... Whatever.

Hand me your keys. I'll lock up.

You guys can say your good-byes.

How're ya doing?

Good.

Sorry again about last night.

It's okay.

No. It's not okay.

This is our last night together for a while.

I honestly did not mean for it to end in a fight.

Yeah, I know.

Just don't understand what's been going on with us lately.

Look, I told you last night. You're just being paranoid.

I don't know. Maybe.

Listen, maybe this break's gonna be good for us.

Take a couple months.

Clear your head.

Yeah. I just don't wanna lose you.

You won't.

I'm gonna be right here.

Okay.

Hate to interrupt, but it's that time.

Let's get this debauchery on the road.

Oh, my God, please don't do anything Kris tells you to do.

- Screw you, Josh. - Yeah, screw you, too.

Okay, Jesus. Let's go.

Okay. You two drive safe.

Thanks, dad.

- I mean it. - Oh, don't worry.

I'll take good care of her.

- I love you. - Me, too.

Call me when you get to Arizona.

Hey, we can do this.

Yeah.

Shannon...

Mm.

I just feel really bad leaving things like this.

You guys are gonna be fine.

Besides, you know,

whatever happened, it happened.

You can't change the past.

But you have the chance to move forward.

Yeah, I know.

- Hey, listen. Hey! - What?

We are going to laugh.

We are going to dance...

We're gonna sing at the top of our lungs.

We might even make out a little bit.

Look at me.

Friends for life, right?

Right.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go!

* she believed in never after

* put her heart before her pride *

* and if she would be a long shot *

* maybe she'd be Princess bride *

* did her hair in curls and ribbons *

* shadow blue and lipstick red... *

will you put your phone away? This is a road trip.

Girl, I am situating our business.

- Our business? - Yes.

What is our business?

We can stay with my cousin in flag for a few days.

- Oh, that's good. - And she goes to n.A.U.

So we'll probably hit up some sweet college parties.

Didn't you get enough of college parties

when you were actually in college?

Does the pope ever get enough of wearing those

super baggy, stiff robes he wears?

I... I don't know.

Exactly.

And...

After flag, we can go wherever

the wind of adventure blows us.

Excellent. I would like to see yellowstone.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

Isn't yellowstone for like really emo people that wanna be alone

with their thoughts and nature and shit?

No, I think you are talking about Joshua tree.

No, Joshua tree

is definitely where people go to trip balls.

Where's burning man again?

Oh, my God, I... How did we get here?

I just wanna see something pretty

and someone told me that yellowstone is very pretty.

You know what? I'll give you your pretty shit,

but it's gonna cost you.

What?

One night in Vegas.

- No. - Yes.

Say yes.

- Say yes. - Fine.

Yes.

Yes! Vegas!

Whoo!

Yeah! I'm so glad we did this!

What?

I said, I'm so glad we finally did this.

Me, too.

What took us so long?

I don't know. Just life.

Ugh, that's a bad excuse.

Okay, well what is your excuse?

Um, you know.

Life.

I knew you were gonna say that, asshole.

This cannot be the fastest way to Vegas.

When are we gonna get back on a freeway?

It said that this was the scenic route.

I don't...

Well, the only thing I want to see

are inside of my eyelids.

This is taking forever.

I'm gonna sleep.

All right.

Um...

Come...

Come on.

Okay. Come on.

Ugh, come on, buddy. Come on.

Come on.

Kris. Kris, wake up.

- What? - Kris, wake up.

- There's someone in the road. - What is it?

- What? - There was someone in the road.

- Where? - She was right there.

She was standing in the middle of the road.

- Why are we stopped? - Well, the car died.

But there's a... There was a little girl.

Ugh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

It's a kid.

- What? - I'm gonna go see.

- Shan'. - I have to go look.

There's nobody out there.

Hello?

Little girl, are you out there?

I have no idea. No.

We're somewhere between bumfuck nowhere and flagstaff.

Yeah, okay.

Shan', get back in the fucking car.

There's nobody out there.

Yeah, okay. Thanks.

Fucking people.

Anybody out there?

What did they say?

Called triple-a, they'll be here in a while.

Great...

So what do we do now?

I guess we wait.

Yeah. Whatever.

Who the fuck is that?

Um, either the tow truck driver

or an ax murderer.

You need help?

I'll tell you what.

I'm gonna move my truck up to where I can tow you.

You girls have until then to figure out

if you got a better option.

That was really quick.

Talk about service.

Yeah, I happened to be just up the road.

It's a miracle.

I think you're right.

Uh, yeah, I... I think I can fix this.

Oh, great.

Can you do that out here?

Um, no. I... I need to take it back into town.

"Take us back into town"? Hell no.

What else are we supposed to do?

I'm not going anywhere with a guy

that looks like he has a suit of human flesh at home.

- No. - You're ridiculous.

Look.

Is he a priest?

Is everything all right?

Yeah. Sorry.

You're, a, um...

A priest, and a tow truck driver?

Now I've seen it all.

Well, I come from a small town.

Everybody has several responsibilities.

That's great.

Cool.

I'm, uh, Shannon, by the way.

Shannon.

And, do you have a name?

Oh, of course.

It's Terry.

Nice to meet you.

What brings you and your antisocial friend

to our neighborhood?

Oh, my friend Kris and I are on a...

Sort of a road trip.

And she has a cousin that lives in flagstaff.

So...

Almost made it.

You're telling me.

How long do you think it'll take to fix the car?

I couldn't say until I take a look.

Tonight?

The shop's closed.

I promise I'll take a look first thing in the morning.

I know the man who runs the motel in town.

I'll tell him your situation.

He'll give you a break.

Wow. Small town?

It's not flagstaff,

but once people settle in,

they... they don't usually leave.

Like, something in the water?

Something like that.

Let's see about getting you guys a room.

It's not exactly Vegas.

I thought you said you were going to flagstaff.

Uh, we're just gonna go there for a day as part of the trip.

The city where young women go to be debased,

and humiliated.

If they're lucky.

Sorry to ruin to your catnap.

Oh, no, no, no, not a bother.

Not a bother.

How can I help you?

These girls are a bit stranded, uh,

I thought you might offer them some hospitality.

Oh, anything for you, boss. You know that.

I'll get 'em all taken care of.

Thank you, Charlie.

You're in good hands.

Swing by the shop in the morning.

Okay. Good night. Thanks for everything.

You're welcome. Sleep well.

Well, I'll get you all settled in then,

just a minute.

Yes, number four.

Well, it ain't much, but the...

The sheets are clean and the water's hot.

It was uh, Charlie, right?

- Yes, ma'am. - Hypothetically, Charlie,

if two girls had been driving,

for say, oh, eight hours before their car

inconveniently broke down,

where might these two find food around here?

Well, there ain't much open this time of night.

Uh, mack's...

He doesn't have much, but, uh,

they say the burgers are to die for.

- Great. - Okay.

- Y'all have a good night. - Good night.

Thanks.

- Well, there's a TV. - Yeah.

The first one.

Like the first one ever made, ever.

It's for one night.

Don't you even want to know

what I had planned to wear to the party tonight?

It was hot. It was like...

Kelly lebrock from "weird science," hot.

It was gonna be cougar town up in that frat party tonight.

Hello, boys.

Oh, do I go to school here?

No, I'm sorry. I'm a professional.

But, uh, flattery, it'll get you everywhere.

Cougar town? Please, you are 25.

You're not even, like, cougar cub town, yet.

Whatever.

Look, I know this sucks a lot.

It's just for tonight.

Just chalk it up to another Shannon and Kris adventure.

Right?

You're lucky I like you.

- Oh, you... you like me? - Kind of.

You like me?

- Oh, I think you love me. - No.

- I think you do. - No.

You love me, you do.

I know it, say it!

- Let go of me. - No!

- Say it right now. - Say it.

Fine!

I fucking love you, you nerd.

Good.

So, get your ass up.

Let's put on our finest tank tops,

and go get mack's famous burgers.

Oh, my God!

- You are such a nerd. - I know. It's crazy, right?

You don't even play the video games.

It's different with your boyfriend.

Why are they staring at us?

I don't know.

Hey, there.

You ladies hungry?

Sorry, is there some kind of a private event tonight?

Charlie just sent us over from the motel.

Uh, no, no. Don't mind those weirdoes.

They're just... ain't used to seeing new faces around here.

Especially not such pretty ones.

So what'll it be?

I, for one,

will have one of your mack's famous burgers.

Okay.

Yeah, me too, I guess.

Coming right up.

- Uh-uh. - Yeah.

- No. - Yes.

Walk away, girl.

Hello.

Hi.

- Hi. - What's your name?

Shannon.

- What's your name? - Emma Jean.

Well, hi, Emma Jean.

Where'd you come from?

Oh, I came from California.

You know where that is?

No.

Hollywood. Disneyland.

No.

Maybe you could go there some day.

Why not?

Isn't that the reverend tow truck guy?

You guys met Terry, huh?

He seems like a popular guy.

Yeah, well, that's my big brother for ya.

Seriously?

One and only.

Hell of a guy.

Hey, I'm tired. Ready to go?

I guess so.

Mack, it has been a pleasure.

Till we meet again.

I look forward to it.

Thanks.

Grill still open?

Not these two.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Just leave them alone.

You think I have designs on every traveler

who comes through this town?

I can tell when you see an opportunity.

You can tell that just by looking at me?

Huh.

I guess that's what happens when two people

spend so much time together.

You remember why we're here in the first place?

Or did that detail slip your mind?

So, what did you tell them?

Nothing.

That was very kind of you.

You said nothing...

In spite of the fact that I saw you talking to those girls?

Look, I swear, I...

Do you understand that it hurts me

when you won't simply tell me what it is

you spoke to those girls about?

Well, that wasn't so bad.

Yeah.

Hey, you remember the emergency reserve?

Yes.

I believe this qualifies as an emergency.

I thought you'd never ask.

* bring a book a page is nameless *

* like 'em bound and spoiled and blameless *

* ready for my thoughts and small cache *

* fill the homes and sound of music *

* you now how the song we'll use it *

* every word till now has been in vain *

* lock the doors and bolt the windows *

* crack the knuckles, pop the elbows *

Take away now.

* come on, and make my day now *

Hey, no peeking.

* take away now

* come on, and make my day now *

* take away now, come on, and make my day now *

am I right?

Wow. That's definitely hot.

It's...

Very hot.

Right? Damn it.

It would have been so epic!

Oh. Okay.

Oh, I'm done with the spinning.

Spinning I'm done with.

Hey, so, mack was totally hot.

Hey, I knew it.

I knew...

You, my friend, are incar...

Incorr... corrigible!

- Shannon... - Incorrigible.

Small words. Too much wine.

You're dumb.

Whatever. I'd top that.

You talk like a boy.

I am a boy.

Well...

I thought we agreed no guys on this trip.

No, we agreed no "Josh" on this trip.

Wow, that's not fair.

Whatever. Move over.

Ow.

Why do you stay with him anyway?

- Because I love him. - No.

- I do... I love... - No!

- I love him, Kris. - No, you don't, Shannon.

Well, he loves me.

That is not the same thing.

Better than the alternative.

Oh, yeah, what's that?

Being old.

Did you hear that?

You can't get out of this that easy.

No, I heard something.

Shan'.

More drinking,

less... something.

Told ya.

I know I heard something.

Hang on.

I told no! I told you no!

Charlie, please, you have to listen to me.

- Please? You gotta listen.. - I told you no!

Can I help you with something?

No.

I was just getting some fresh air and I...

- That I saw someone... - Saw what, darling?

I thought I saw someone on the road.

I doubt you saw anybody out there.

We knock off real early around here.

Now let's get you back to your room.

No, that's okay. I got it.

Kris?

Kris?

Kris.

Kris?

Kris, wake up.

Kris, wake up! This isn't funny!

What's with the shaking?

Stop doing that. Go away.

Just another Shannon and Kris adventure.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, shit.

Kris?

Kris, time to wake up.

I feel like ass, dude.

I know what you mean, dude.

Hey, 'afternoon. You must be Shannon.

Yeah. Can I help you?

Uh... well, no.

M... my name's pj. I was sent down by Terry

to let you know that your car's ready.

It's... is as good as gold.

So whenever you wanna go down.

We'll be down in a few minutes. Thank you.

Okie doke.

Okay, then.

Wow.

Apparently, it is kosher in kain

to give guest room numbers to members of the public.

That's awesome.

Are you gonna make it, kid?

Yeah.

I just need a few minutes to get my life together.

All right.

I'll clean up and take care of the car.

Oh, hey. That was quick.

Yeah. We gotta hit the road.

I'm sorry. Could you tell me what time it is?

My phone is dead.

Ah, I think it's just after 4:00 o'clock.

4:00?

No Jesus fucking way.

- Pardon me? - I'm sorry.

Never mind.

Um, is Terry around?

No.

He's still out in the truck.

Okay. Uh,

how much do I owe you, I guess?

He left a note.

Girls are all paid up.

No, I don't think so.

I think it's your lucky day.

Yeah, I guess.

Do you know when Terry will be back, though?

I'd like to thank him for his help with everything.

He just stepped out. He's gotta be back for church and everything.

Church? I'm sorry.

Is it 4:00 o'clock on Sunday?

No, ma'am, it's Saturday.

But we so church seven days a week here.

So...

That is a lot of churching.

Okay. I guess, thanks again.

Ma'am, you okay?

Yeah, just, uh, have a headache.

Why don't you head on over to the supply store,

fix it up?

Thanks. I'll do that.

Hangover's a bitch.

Yeah.

How did you...?

On the count of the bottles, ma'am,

in your room.

Got a good look in there, did you?

And kill me now.

Uh, could I also grab some ibuprophen?

Thanks.

Hello!

Hello.

Mack?

Anybody home?

Kris?

You scared me.

Slow day for you guys?

Uh...

Yeah, we usually don't get much business during the day.

I can see that.

Um...

What're you still doing here?

We're getting ready to leave.

I just figured I'd come say goodbye.

To thank you for your hospitality.

Sure. It was my pleasure.

Okay.

Well, I didn't mean to disturb you.

I'll let you get back to work or whatever.

Hey.

You're a great girl.

I'm sorry you have to leave.

But, my advice...

Drive like the wind.

I always do.

Bye, mack.

What's with the pictures?

Oh, whenever people move here

we like to throw them a party.

It's the neighborly thing to do.

- Where are Terry and mack? - They were the first ones here.

No one was here to take their picture.

Hmm.

Thanks.

Hey, hey, hey. You're alive.

- Barely. - What'd you get me?

Hah. For what ailes you.

You're an angel.

Did you go say bye to your boyfriend?

Indeed.

Star-crossed lovers.

That gets me every time.

Shut it.

Wait.

What is that?

That sounds like a party...

No.

- That I'm gonna go to. - No party please.

No party.

- She's here! - Emma Jean!

- Hi. - Oh, hi.

What did I tell you about gettin' up in peoples personal space?

Some people don't like it.

- That's right. - It's really okay.

I have a lot of nieces and nephews back home. So...

I gave up on personal space a long time ago.

You still have to mind your manners.

Yes, ma'am.

You must be Emma Jean's mom?

No, ma'am.

I just look after her from time to time.

Oh. Then where is she?

Emma Jean!

- What're you guys celebrating? - Excuse me?

Just seems like some kind of backyard party.

Minus the grilling and a yard.

No, it's... it's not a party.

We do this everyday.

It's our way of keeping in touch, I guess.

Kind of like a family.

You guys don't have jobs?

Some folks do.

Most don't need to.

Mostly everything's provided for us here.

So then, what do you do all day?

Well...

This.

And, in a few minutes,

Terry will start the daily service.

He's the boss.

Oh, is that right?

Sure is.

It seems like, uh, nice enough kind of guy.

Yes.

Time for mass.

I guess y'all better be on your way now.

- Come along, Emma Jean. - But...

Y'all drive safe now.

Ladies.

Oh, hey.

I'm really glad we ran into you, actually.

I wanted to say thanks for your help

with the car and everything before we hit...

The road.

Of course.

I don't suppose I could tempt you with a little churching

before you head on your way?

Um...

No. I'm sorry.

We would love to but we should probably get going.

Thank you, though.

Did, uh... Did pj not tell you?

There's no charge on the repairs?

Um, he did.

I... I appreciate that.

Well then, don't you think it's the least you can do?

Yes, I do.

We can stay here for a few minutes.

I'm sure.

Great.

Hello, everybody.

Thanks for coming.

Before I bring Terry up, I'd like to thank the lord

- for our community. - Amen.

And for the forgiveness of our sins.

Amen.

And for our visitors.

May they have a safe trip home.

Please stand.

And that would be our cue.

I can't do this cheesy shit.

I know my brother's not a riveting public speaker,

but you can't walk out in the middle.

It's just common courtesy.

Okay, so, Eve became pregnant

and gave birth to Cain.

She said,

"with the help of our lord

I have brought forth a man."

Eve later gave birth to able. Cain's brother.

So, Cain, he works the fields.

Able, keeps flocks.

Cain takes fruit from the soil,

brings it as an offering to the lord.

Able also brings an offering, in his case,

fat portions from the offspring of the flock.

Now without getting too bogged down in the details...

The lord looked down upon able with favor,

but for some unknowable reason,

poor Cain got the shaft.

I think anybody with a little brother

can relate to how Cain must have felt.

Completely and utterly betrayed.

You know, I wasn't always a priest.

I came to this late in life and then when people ask me,

"now why would you go do a thing like that?"

I have to say honestly,

I just was so sick and fed up

of being disappointed.

Feeling let down and betrayed

by the people around me.

And then I came to this place,

and I had an epiphany.

Maybe the problem is me.

Maybe I spend so much time feeling let down

because I expect everyone to concern themselves

with my happiness.

Well, what a selfish and hallowed point of view.

Do you want to stop feeling let down in this world?

Stop thinking about yourself

and start thinking about others.

Give yourself over.

Give yourself over.

That's how you stop feeling empty and dissatisfied

and betrayed.

And that's what I love about this place.

I'm allowed to focus my attention outward.

To bringing as much light and love to this place

as possible.

Populating this little town with...

Beauty and goodness.

I have turned my back on the outside world,

and it has made me very, very happy.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just this damn headache.

I officially hate whiskey.

I have heard that before.

Well, I never learn, do I?

Ugh.

Sweet, sweet freedom!

- Whew! - Ow!

Oh, wow.

Ugh...

- That's funny. - I'm not joking.

You've got to be kidding me? What did you do?

I was just turning on the radio.

- You touched something. - I did not touch anything!

Oh, my God. This is so great.

You're seriously not fucking around.

Do I look like I'm fucking around?

Yeah, well, Terry did a great job.

- Where are you going? - I'm going for a walk.

You can't go for a walk. You have to deal with the car.

- You deal with it! - Kris, just stop for a second.

Okay? Jesus!

Give me your phone. I will call triple-a. It's gonna be fine.

Fine. Deal with it.

Yes, hi. My name is Shannon silvers.

I called... hell... hello?

Hello?

Just give me the fucking phone.

- So are they coming? - Yeah.

It's gonna be a while, though.

There's some kind of accident.

By the way, triple-a didn't send Terry.

Wait. What?

Triple-a didn't send Terry.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

Well, speak of the devil.

This might sound crazy,

but I feel like we've met before.

I thought you fixed the car, handyman.

They say, you get what you pay for.

Give me another chance.

I will figure out this mystery.

Oh, um, you might wanna call your triple-a office.

They said they didn't have any record of you

picking us up last night.

I wouldn't want you to get in trouble.

You know, I... I don't suppose they would.

Did you forget to tell them?

I don't work for triple-a.

I got the one boss already.

Then how did you know we were out there?

A lot of people get stranded on that stretch of road.

I get my happiness by helping others.

Or did you sleep through that part of my sermon?

Just out of the goodness of your heart?

Yeah, feel free to hangout in the office while I have a look.

You know, I might be able to get you out tonight.

Um, actually, do you have a bathroom I could use?

Yeah, yeah, sure. Right around the side there in the back.

You doin' all right back here?

Sorry. I... I... um...

I thought the bathroom was in here.

They don't make trucks like that anymore.

I guess not.

I remember when Emma Jean and her mom rolled up in that,

I, uh, I could hardly take my eyes off it.

Where is Emma Jean's mom?

Yeah, people don't have much use for cars around here.

You could practically throw a rock from one end of town to the other.

Safer to just keep 'em locked up in the barn.

Doesn't anybody ever wanna leave?

Will you do me a favor?

When you're in Las Vegas and you find yourself

getting sucked into something shameless...

Just remind yourself that there's somebody back here

who's thinking about you.

Who knows that you deserve better.

Look, uh, we should probably go back.

Sure.

Hey. I'm starving. You hungry?

No, not really.

Or I can go with you if you wanna eat?

If we head over to mack's,

can you just tell us when the car's ready?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Ow. What is your deal?

Something weird is going on here.

Look who decided to join the party.

No. I think this is a cult, and he's like the leader.

Their cars are left in that barn.

These people are prisoners here.

So what? That's their problem.

Well, what if they're trying to recruit us?

Believe me, the way these idiots look at us,

the last two people on earth they try to recruit is us.

Ladybug broke down again, as usual.

He's gonna fix it. It's gonna be fine.

- Let's get something food... - I don't think that's...

Chill!

Let's go.

Hmm.

Thank you.

Get you anything else?

Uh, no, we're good.

Great.

You have to let me know what you think.

I will.

Are they world famous like your burger?

My burgers are world's famous.

These are more like, you know, kain... kain famous.

- They're popular just here. - They're popular.

Gotcha.

Your car awaits.

You can go. I'll pay.

You shouldn't have come back here.

Okay, well, it's not like we planned on it.

Our car broke down.

Yeah, I know.

Well,

I'm secretly glad that it happened.

When we left you were being an uber weirdo,

and I hate leaving things like that.

Maybe this is just the universe's way

of giving us another shot to, uh...

No!

Well, maybe.

Trust me.

You made it sound like it was ready to go.

Did I?

No, I just wanted you to have a look.

Yeah, I think your battery's, uh, kicked the bucket.

Well, do you have another one?

Not for cars like this.

I mean, you know, it's like I said,

we don't have much use for cars around here.

There's no point in keeping a lot of spare parts around.

Why are you being so serious all of a sudden?

You gotta get outta here.

- Now! - What're you talking about?

- Let's go. Come on. - What...?

Let's go.

So I guess we're staying another night.

Yeah, I'll talk to Charlie. He'll take care of you.

I shoulda caught it this morning.

I... I... I was trying to get you guys out on the road.

I... I feel terrible. Believe me.

The truck's outside of the building.

I'm gonna drive you just outside of town,

and you can catch a ride from there.

If this is some lame attempt to get me to makeout in your car it's not gonna happen.

That's not it.

- Well, why not? - This is really important.

Once I drop you off,

just keep walking, all right?

It's early. You won't have to wait too long for a car to come by.

- Okay, right, yeah. - I mean it.

This isn't funny anymore.

Look. I'm not trying to be funny.

You have to understand. This is for your own good.

- Now get in the car. - I'm not going anywhere

- without Shannon. - There's no time.

- We have to go. - Time for what?

Hey, what you doin'?

We're just, um...

Goin' for a walk.

Yeah, it's a nice night for it.

Is my brother behaving himself?

Yeah, he's just got an odd sense of humor.

Oh, really?

I guess I never saw it.

- Terry... - Ugh...

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

but the car's gotta stay one more night.

Shannon went back to the motel to get settled in.

I think she's looking for you.

Yeah. Okay.

Goodbye.

Good night.

Yeah, good night.

Walk with me.

Can I be brutally honest with you?

I feel like you've lost touch

with why we're here.

I know why we're here.

Well, then you know that you do have a certain obligation to me.

I don't care. I'm done.

I understand how you're feeling.

You're having doubts.

You know what I do when I have doubts? I pray on it.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

When was the last time you prayed?

Not this room theatre you do during the services.

When was the last time that you really prayed?

Ahh! Ahh!

Ahh!

Look at that.

It's like riding a bicycle.

Dear heavenly father.

Please guide and protect my little brother

from making a mistake that he will deeply regret.

Amen.

If you fuck this up for me, mack, I swear to God.

How many more?

I don't know.

But all you need to do is not be a dumb-ass,

and you'll come out all right on this deal.

Anyway, we were totally about to makeout,

and then Terry showed up.

Uh-huh.

Hello? Why the long face?

You're not the one that just got cockblocked.

I just have a bad feeling.

These people are just nuts.

We have to laugh it off. It's no big deal.

- It's not the point. - Well then, enlighten me.

I don't know. I just think something feels really off.

- Wanna get drunk again? - No!

Please, no more drinking.

Well, you're gonna have to snap out of it,

'cause you're no fun like this.

- Okay. Sorry. - Good.

Now, get the hell out of the bathroom.

I'm gonna take a shower.

- Like right now? - Yeah, right now.

What am I gonna do for the next hour?

You won't get drunk with me, and mack won't makeout with me.

- You are incessant. - Small word shan'.

You're...

Never mind. Enjoy your shower.

Love you.

Shit.

Jesus Christ, shan', that wasn't fucking funny.

Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean you can just hang up

and then freak the shit out of me.

I know. I'm sorry.

Our car broke down outside of flag,

and we got towed into this really small town.

And then my phone died, but I wanted to call you

- and then... - Shan'.

- Josh? - Shannon, are you there?

Josh?

- Hello? - Can you hear me?

I wanna step outside. Hang on.

- Josh? - Shan'?

- Josh, can you hear me? - Listen.

Call me when you wanna talk. This is bullshit.

No, Josh, I'm... Here.

Jesus. This fucking town.

Hey, I'm using your phone.

- Hey. - We need to talk.

What is so fucking important that I can't finish my shower?

What is it you need to tell me?

What're you talking about?

I just saw Josh's text.

"Did you tell her yet?"

What do you need to tell me?

- I don't... I don't know... - Kris.

It could be anything. I don't know what he's talking about.

Don't lie to me. Just tell me.

That...

Last year at my birthday

when you guys got in that huge fight...

He...

He stayed after to help me clean.

Shan', we were so drunk. It was a huge mistake.

I am so sorry.

I wanted to tell you so many times,

I just... I got scared and I...

- Why'd you do this to me? - You don't understand.

- And I... - Please.

Don't tell me that I don't understand.

Was this the first time?

No.

It happ...

- I fucked up, okay? - No!

Please don't.

I wanted to take this trip

so I could finally get it off my chest

and so we could work it through and...

You weren't fucking supposed to find out like that!

Why, you think you could have done better?

I'm so sorry.

I'm sure you are.

Shannon, please stay.

Where're you going?

Fuck.

Hey.

Something wrong?

I'm sorry. I would really like to be alone.

I would think you'd had enough of that by now.

Aren't you tired of being alone?

I...

Really appreciate what you're trying to do.

I am not in the mood for a sermon.

I understand.

Well, how 'bout if you talk and I listen?

What am I supposed to say?

Just, uh,

tell me what it is you're searching for.

I really don't know.

I guess...

A way that I can

stop letting the people in my life

dictate how I feel about myself.

Look, Shannon.

Since you showed up in town,

people are talking about you.

They're saying, who is this girl?

And why does she have his great light about her?

You're so full of shit.

This... this is exactly what I'm talking about.

I think that the people in your life

don't see how wonderful you are,

because you don't see how wonderful you are.

I'm not asking

for you to accept my faith.

I'm just asking to have a little faith in yourself.

You're such a good person.

You're so beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

- Shannon, now... - Just stay away from me.

Get...

Jesus.

Sorry.

You scared me.

Why did you leave?

I'm sorry. We just had to go.

Have you seen my mom?

Emma Jean, what're you doing here?

I can't find my mom.

How long has she been gone?

I don't know, but he was yelling

and then she was gone.

Who was yelling? Your dad?

Your dad was yelling at your mom?

I wanna go home.

You know where you live?

Yeah.

Will you take me?

Yeah.

All right.

Let's go.

Emma Jean, how old are you?

Eight.

Wow.

You're really brave for eight.

Yeah, I know.

I bet you're really smart, too.

I guess.

No, trust me. I can tell.

And smart people are really special.

Wanna know why?

Yeah.

Uh, sometimes smart people could see things

that other people can't see.

Like what?

Like...

If something bad is happening.

Or someone's being hurt.

Well, if a smart person sees these things,

then sometimes they can help other people.

Like their moms, or their friends.

And it's not wrong to talk about it.

I'm not supposed to.

Okay.

You don't have to.

But...

If you do want to,

I promise I won't tell.

I think you're smart, too.

Thanks.

But why can't you see?

Why can't I see what?

Emma Jean?

Emma Jean?

What are you doing?

Come here.

Why'd you run off like that?

I was worried about you.

So, is this where you live?

Hey.

What's wrong?

Scared to go to sleep.

Listen...

Hey.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

I just wanted to sleep.

Listen...

Did you hear me?

I'm gonna get you out of here.

You don't have to be scared anymore.

I couldn't see it etiher.

Emma Jean, I...

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

What is it that you want me to see?

I'll show you.

What? No...

Emma Jean, wait.

I haven't found her.

No, not yet.

Pj says he saw her walking towards the trailers with Emma Jean,

so I'm gonna try over there.

I'm moving Terry,

don't talk to me like I'm a damn child.

Ow.

My name's pj, I was sent down by Terry.

I couldn't see it either.

And for our visitors, may they have a safe trip home.

Once people settle in, they... they don't usually leave.

Kris! Kris!

Get in here.

- Kris! - What is wrong with you?

Shh! We have to get out of here.

Don't you think we should tell...

No, I don't wanna talk to you. I just wanna leave this...

- Something is wrong here. - Okay, you know what?

At first your paranoia was kinda cute,

- this is getting ridiculous. - No, you just have to trust me.

This is not a normal town. These aren't normal people.

- What are you talking about? - I don't...

I don't know how to explain this to you.

They're dead.

They're all dead.

- You're kidding, right? - I know it doesn't make sense.

I was out there...

Are you trying to tell me that all these people

that we've been hanging around the past few days

- were actually ghosts? - Yes, Kris.

I don't know how but they are.

- You need help. - No.

Look, we can argue about this later,

but right now I would really like to go.

- Look, if this is about... - You owe me!

Can we go? Can we just do that?

- Can we leave? - Fine! We'll leave.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

What room are we in?

One... I think.

Why isn't there anything in here?

I don't know.

- Fuck. - Where are you going?

Okay, I still don't know if I believe you,

- but that's fucking creepy. - I told you.

- Well, what is the plan? - Um, I don't know.

Maybe my car will start. If not,

there's a whole bunch more in that barn thing.

Worst case we leave our shit and walk through the road. I don't care.

- I'm not leaving my shit in the middle of nowhere. - That's fine, Kris.

It's your call, but I will leave you here.

Fine. But I'm only leaving it if I absolutely have to.

Whatever. Will you hand me my purse, please?

- Yeah. Here. - Thanks.

- Did you dry your hair? - What?

After your shower. Did you dry your hair?

Yeah, you know I don't like to sleep with it wet.

Yeah...

Only...

I'm gonna...

Grab my stuff.

Okay.

Now we really have to talk.

Shannon, you don't have to leave.

It's better this way. You just have to see it.

Fuck!

Where'd you go, pretty girl?

You got a lot of people looking for you.

You know, the sooner you come out,

the easier it's gonna be, I promise.

Gotcha.

I know I owe you an apology, Shannon.

I'm not a bad person.

Everybody here, we're all decent people.

If you'll just let me,

I can talk you through this whole thing.

It's not that scary.

But I do need you to give yourself over.

So come on out, let's talk.

Fine.

You win.

Shannon, open the door. Shannon...

Open the mother fucking door!

I'm not fucking around.

Shannon, you need help.

Let me help you.

No, you need help, asshole.

Yes! Yes!

Oh, my God.

Come on.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

You just stay away from me.

Is that really how you're gonna talk to your best friend?

You're not my friend.

I don't even know what you are.

I'm just like you.

But I can see it now, and soon you will, too.

Please, just let me go.

The only way out of here is through him.

Hey, there.

Why won't you let me go?

Jesus Christ, Shannon, I don't control this place.

If I did, I wouldn't be chasing you around.

You just belong to me.

Are you even a priest?

Well, I used to dress up as a sheriff,

but I felt kinda stupid with the boots and the cowboy hat.

You are.

Walk with me.

I'm not going

anywhere with you.

Okay then, go.

Pick a direction.

Run as fast as you can.

I'll see you right back here in ten minutes.

No.

Just how it works.

It was new year's Eve.

I came home to find mack

with my wife.

I guess... I guess he thought

we shared our women, too.

They didn't see me, I didn't say anything.

I just took off.

Came back a couple hours later.

You know,

three of us proceeded to get piss drunk

for the holiday.

Thought we'd go to a bar watch the ball drop.

I volunteered to drive.

I was so mad, I couldn't see straight.

I could only think of them...

Two of them together.

Somewhere along the way I said, "fuck it."

Drove the truck off the road.

Straight into a tree at 75.

You all died.

Well...

My wife made it.

At least that's what I assume.

She's not here.

But mack and I somehow got stuck.

We can't leave.

We don't get old.

So nothing better to do, so we built a town.

Called it kain.

And what does this have to do with me?

Well, you know, they say misery loves company.

Mack and I got kinda sick of looking at each other.

We started figuring out ways

to get other people

stuck here.

We realized that if you die here,

then you're in it for the long haul.

Like the rest of us.

For almost 50 years,

I've been holding my breath...

Hoping maybe I would look up

and see her walking down main street.

And then you showed up.

And I thought,

this has to be a sign.

I mean, you're...

You're so much like her.

It's amazing.

I mean, what are the chances, right?

Please tell me you're not about to give me

some kind of flick a pitch.

Don't be dismissive!

I poured my fucking guts out to you!

Fuck.

Whoo!

Look at us.

Fighting in the middle of main street,

like a regular married couple.

Look.

We don't have much.

I know.

But we are a family.

And we take care of our own.

That sweet little girl, Emma Jean.

She's taken to you.

It would be a whole lot easier if you just said, "yes."

No.

That is your perogitive.

Come with me, I will show you how to leave.

What?

A deal's a deal.

I need to show you something.

This is gonna seem weird.

- Easy. Easy. - Oh, my God.

- Oh, my... - Easy.

I didn't wanna do it.

You were laying there...

So peaceful and perfect.

I didn't want you to leave.

So I...

Put my hands on your throat.

How could you do that?

From the moment that I met you,

I was afraid that I was gonna lose you.

You're special, Shannon.

And you belong here.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Please. Please. Please.

No, get off me, I will never forgive you.

I will never forgive you.

I will never forgive you.

Well, we have a long time to work through that.

You told me I could leave.

Some people pass on...

Emma Jean's mother...

I don't know where she is.

Because I don't know where we are.

But the alternative,

what if it's no better?

It's a choice.

You can stay here

with people that love you.

Or take your chances

on heaven or hell

or nothing.

I mean, would you prefer if it was nothing?

You'd have no voice in that world.

Hello?

Josh?

Shan'?

Oh, thank God.

He said you wouldn't be able to hear me,

but you can hear me and now you can come get me.

And it's gonna be okay.

Please come get me.

Please say something.

But I just did.

Listen, this is the last time I'm gonna answer, okay,

unless you just say something.

You can't hear me, can you?

I hope you know what you're doing.

Be safe.

I love you.

Do you see it now?

I see it.
