Okay.

CAMERON: I'm gonna need a hand here.

JANICE: I can't do this, Cam.

You what?

Hey, you're a part of this too.

Now, come on.

CAMERON: You can quit worrying now.

It's done.

Okay?

JANICE: I don't-- I don't understand, Cam.

Oh, come on. It was an accident.

What else was I gonna do, huh?

I told her not to scream.

You heard me, right?

Right?

JANICE: Hey, where you headed?

COLLEEN: Westwood.

CAMERON: Sure, no problem. We're, uh, heading that way.

COLLEEN: Really?

CAMERON: Uh-huh. Hop in.

COLLEEN: Thanks.

[Car door closes]

[Car speeds off]

JANICE: So, you come far?

COLLEEN: Eugene.

Oregon?

Did you hitch the whole way?

Uh-huh.

Wow, good for you.

CAMERON: So what's your name?

COLLEEN: Colleen.

CAMERON: Colleen...

Nice. Hi, Colleen.

COLLEEN: What about you guys?

JANICE: We're just out for a drive.

What brings you to Westwood?

COLLEEN: Oh, it's my friend's birthday,

her 21st.

CAMERON: And what time is she expecting you?

She isn't. It's a surprise.

Well, you gotta love surprises.

[Cameron exhales]

Uh... apparently there's some ice caves up ahead

on the main highway. We were thinking

we might, uh, stop by and check 'em out.

Oh, where about are they?

CAMERON: Oh, they're real close by.

Okay, it's just I was hoping

to make it there before dark.

JANICE: Don't worry, we won't be long.

You'll have plenty of time.

[Sound of engine]

[Cameron exhales]

Where are the caves?

We normally get out and walk from here.

COLLEEN: I didn't realize you had been before.

I'll catch up with you. I'm just gonna grab my camera.

JANICE: If I remember right, they're just around the bend.

[Colleen gasps]

CAMERON: Put your hands above your head.

[Muffled cries]

You gonna do what I say?

COLLEEN: Mm-hm.

CAMERON: Put your hands above your head.

[Colleen gasping]

You gonna do what I say?

COLLEEN: Uh-huh.

CAMERON: Nice and easy...

Follow my voice.

[Colleen whimpering]

Step up.

COLLEEN: Please, why are you doing this?

Please stop, please stop, please.

CAMERON: Shut up, shut up.

Just try to relax. It'll be over quicker.

COLLEEN: No, no... no...

Stop, please stop!

CAMERON: Get your head down.

Go get the box.

COLLEEN: No, no, no...

No, no!

[Screaming and crying]

[Colleen sobbing]

[Muffled] Why is this happening to me?

Please, why is this happening to me?

Why is this happening to me?

[Birds chirping]

CAMERON: Look, we discussed this already, okay?

I don't know, maybe a few days.

JANICE: And then what?

Then we'll take her a ways from here.

Drop her off near Mineral somewhere.

JANICE: What if she goes to the police?

CAMERON: She doesn't know who we are or where she is.

Besides, we've hardly done anything.

Where are you going?

Same place I always go.

When will you be back?

COLLEEN: I'm cold...

I just want to go home.

What would you do if I let you go?

Nothing, nothing!

I promise I won't say anything.

I just want to go home, please...

Do you know where you are?

COLLEEN: Somewhere near Red Bluff.

I won't tell anybody.

Please, just... I want to go home.

Please!

CAMERON: In a moment, I'm gonna remove your gag.

If you scream, I'll cut your vocal chords.

Understand?

[Gasping for air]

Why are you doing this to me?

[Scraping noise]

Piss in this.

I can't if you watch.

Oh. I'll turn my back.

[Cameron sighs]

JANICE: I'm scared, Cam.

Why?

I went into the basement while you were at work.

What d'you do that for?

She wouldn't quit moaning.

I spoke to her, Cam.

She's gonna talk if we let her go.

I know she will.

She-- she'll go to the police.

Then we'll have to keep her.

What-- what do you mean?

Keep her where?

CAMERON: In the basement.

For how long?

I dunno, I mean, till, you know...

Till we figure things out.

That's not-- that's not what we talked about, Cam.

That wasn't--

CAMERON: Hey, hey, hey. Don't start that now.

The situation changed, right?

Look at me.

Look at me.

You knew when we were married,

you knew how it is.

And you took a vow before God.

Love, honor and obey, right?

I mean, it's not like I've changed.

It's you.

You're the one who says that you can't take it anymore.

I mean... what am I supposed to do, huh?

JANICE: I'm sorry. You scare me sometimes.

CAMERON: Come here.

Come on... Come here.

Don't say that.

Look at it this way.

You want to start a family, right?

Well, this could be the perfect time.

As long as she's here, I won't have to hang you up.

None of that stuff, you see?

You mean that?

CAMERON: Sure.

*

*

If she stays...

Promise me you won't have sex with her.

Promise me, Cam.

Just bondage, okay?

Okay.

[Hammering]

COLLEEN: When can I go home?

[Colleen crying]

Let me out!

Please!

[Colleen screaming]

[Colleen screaming]

COLLEEN: No, no...

No, no, no...

[Pounding on box]

No, no, no, I'm not here.

I'm not here, I'm not here, I'm not here...

JACK: Whereabouts does this new friend live?

California.

That it?

Big place, California.

Why don't I just give you bus fare?

Oh, no, Dad, it's okay.

JACK: Nope, no, it's no problem.

Dad, please.

People hitch all the time these days.

It's fine, I promise.

JACK: Alright, have it your way.

CAMERON: Hi, Colleen.

COLLEEN [V.O.]: Jump out the window...

Run and don't come back...

*

CAMERON: You gonna do what I say?

[Whipping noise] [Colleen screaming]

JACK: Big place, California... [Voice echoing]

[Telephone rings]

TELEVISION: Hello, America... [Telephone rings]

Hello? Yeah.

Oh, hi.

[TV noise in background]

Uh... Oh, hold on.

Hey, it's Tim.

He wants to know if we've seen Colleen.

Apparently her rent's due.

She isn't there?

No.

JACK [to Tim]: When was the last time you talked to her?

Well, no, she didn't say where she was headed, exactly.

OFFICER: Age?

JACK: Nineteen.

RUTH: She's twenty. She's twenty.

Twenty, right.

[Officer sighs]

JACK: So are you guys gonna put out

a search for her, or...?

Legally, she's an adult.

Unless there's evidence a crime's been committed,

she's free to do whatever she wants.

[Machine noise]

CAMERON: What you doing here?

I-- I just left the doctor's office...

CAMERON: Oh, yeah? You okay?

Yeah.

Cam, I'm-- I'm pregnant.

Huh.

Aren't you... happy?

Yeah, sure. Um...

You think it's a boy?

I don't know, I guess it could be.

Look, Cam, I-- I've been thinking.

Um, I think it's time we got rid of, you know...

CAMERON: Hold on, what do you mean?

If there's gonna be a kid in the house, I...

Hey, hey, hey. We have an agreement.

We-- we agreed a little while. It's been six months.

Jan, we can't get rid of her now.

You only just got pregnant.

What if she goes to the police?

You really wanna risk all that?

Well, what are we gonna do?

[Car turns off]

Hey, happy new year.

Heh, thanks. You too.

You okay there? Have an accident?

Nah, she's fine.

Arthritis, she's had it a while,

and we finally got her fixed up.

LANDLORD: Oh, yeah? Good for you.

Listen, I need to come by and get the furnace

in your basement serviced sometime soon.

You wanna let me know when's convenient?

Sure. No problem.

LANDLORD: Oh, and uh...

If you could drop the rent by, that'd be good.

Yeah.

JANICE: You should see the scar.

Looks like someone went after my knee with a hammer.

*

*

*

*

*

Hey.

Want you to type this up.

What's this?

Not every box needs a lock.

Read this.

What is it?

CAMERON: Just read it. Out loud.

COLLEEN: The new S&M rage has created a demand

beyond common prostitution, and has given rise

to a new, more depraved trade.

Even in the United States,

an underground brotherhood of slave traders

as large as the Mafia

not only controls the trade in young flesh,

but also the hunting down

and punishment of runaways.

CAMERON: Look at me.

They know that you're here.

Who does?

The Company.

In the article.

They found out about you.

I don't understand.

[Cameron sighing]

Here's the thing.

I've been with the Company awhile now,

and they provide security.

So if a slave of mine tries to escape,

they track them down for me.

And there's nothing they won't do to catch a runaway slave.

They'll even punish their family.

CAMERON: Colleen and Bonnie, September 1976.

She looks nice.

I guess she lives with your folks

over on Glenforest Road?

Look, the point is,

you don't wanna mess with the Company.

I bet you're wondering what happened to her.

She used to be a slave too,

and her previous master was a pretty brutal guy,

so she tried to escape.

The Company found her.

They hung her up, twisted her legs up really bad.

They were gonna kill her, until I came in,

I took pity on her, and I bought her.

A few years later I made her my wife.

That's the third operation she's had

to try and fix her up.

Anyways, now they know I have you,

I have to formally register you.

It's gonna cost me fifteen hundred dollars.

And if I don't do that, they're gonna take you away.

And I can't tell what will happen to you

if I let them do that.

*

*

What is this?

CAMERON: It's a Company contract.

It formalizes your status as my slave.

Look, I don't want to rush you or anything,

but there's a guy from the Company upstairs right now,

and I wouldn't keep him waiting.

What if I don't sign it?

If you don't sign it, I'll just sign it for you,

but I will make you very sorry that you didn't.

[Colleen sniffs]

*

*

*

*

*

You made a good choice.

[Colleen sobs]

[Birds chirping]

Put this on.

Now you're formally registered.

You need to wear this.

Your company identification collar stays on at all times.

CAMERON: Okay...

Let's make a few things clear.

From now on, there is no more Colleen Stan.

Instead, you will answer to "K."

And that's not the name Kay, it's the letter K.

You'll address me as "master" or "sir,"

and my wife as "ma'am".

You're to treat us with absolute respect:

You're going to speak only when spoken to,

and you submit to everything we tell you.

Understand?

"Yes, master."

Yes, master.

Another thing: whenever I shout "attention",

you stop whatever you're doing and you immediately run

to that arch over there.

You remove your gown and you stand with your head bowed

and your fingers reaching for the ceiling.

Got that?

Yes, master.

Okay.

Attention!

*

*

*

*

*

*

[Door opening]

What are you doing?

I'm training the slave.

Make her get dressed.

Ma'am doesn't like seeing you naked.

Make sure it doesn't happen again.

Now put on your gown and go scrub the floor.

[Scrubbing]

[TV noise in background]

[TV noise in background]

JANICE: What are you doing?

Don't touch my things.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I didn't know it was yours.

Are you a Christian?

That's none of your business.

Stand up.

You listen to me.

Just 'cause you wormed your way into our household,

don't think you have any value to us.

'Cause you don't.

You're only here to take the pain.

[Bucket crashes]

Clean that up.

[TV noise in background]

[Car door closes]

LANDLORD: Hey, new truck?

Yup.

Gonna work the woodland up near Lassen this winter.

I noticed you got the windows all covered up these days.

Everything okay?

Sure.

Helps keep the house cool.

Oh. Well, listen...

Any chance I could swing by later this week?

I still need to get your furnace checked over.

Ah, well... we're just a little busy right now.

I'll get back to you.

LANDLORD: Yeah, well, it's just I need the new certificate

for the insurance.

CAMERON: Yeah, okay.

I just said, I'll get back to you.

[Music playing on headphones]

When you're done, put these away and fix dinner.

[Music playing on headphones]

[Music stops]

What'd you do that for?

We need to move.

[Janice screaming]

CAMERON: You're doing good.

[Janice groaning]

CAMERON: Push, push, push.

[Janice screaming]

[Janice screaming]

CAMERON: I can see it. Keep going, push.

[Janice screaming]

[Baby crying]

Hey, you can come out.

CAMERON: It's a girl.

[Baby gurgling]

Can I hold her?

*

*

CAMERON: K, meet Amber.

Amber, K.

She's beautiful.

CAMERON: You got that right.

CAMERON: Okay...

[Baby gurgling]

Get back in.

[TV noise] [Baby gurgling]

Do you have to have that so loud?

I'm trying to get her to sleep.

[TV noise] [Baby gurgling]

[TV noise]

[TV noise]

[TV noise]

COLLEEN: Your dinner is ready, master.

CAMERON: Jan? You comin'?

Shh...

She's really tired.

Well, she's not the only one.

JANICE: K didn't set a fork for me.

Attention!

Why didn't you lay a fork for my wife?

I did, master.

Mm... then how come she doesn't have one?

I don't know, master.

Are you calling my wife a liar?

COLLEEN: No, master.

JANICE: She's a liar, and she's lazy.

You know, it took her an hour to clean the kitchen today.

It takes me 45 minutes.

Why does it take you so long?

I don't know, ma'am.

"I don't know, ma'am."

What's the point in letting her stay

if she's gonna be lazy?

We should just call the Company and have them take her away.

CAMERON: Seems to me you need to be reminded

of your place here.

[Whipping noise] [Colleen crying]

[Whipping and crying]

[Distant screaming]

I reckon you spend more time talking to him

than you do me.

JANICE: This isn't easy for me, you know.

Look, K's only a problem

if you turn her into a problem.

What if she tries to escape?

CAMERON: She's not going anywhere.

So you need to quit with the jealousy, Jan.

You're only hurting yourself.

You know, I was at a Company party a few weeks back.

I heard this story about one Company slave.

She lived not far from here.

Apparently her master treated her so bad,

even though she knew the risks,

she figured she was gonna run away.

So she makes it into town,

she finds a police officer to ask for help...

But you know what?

Turns out the cop's a part of the Company too.

So to teach her a lesson,

they had a surgeon cut off her legs and her arms.

And they cut out her tongue,

used a soldering gun to take out her eyes and her ears.

The way I heard it, they braided her hair

so they could hang her next to her master's bed.

Fed her through a tube.

Took almost a year before she finally died.

You're sure lucky you got me, you know that?

JANICE: What's going on?

K's coming with me.

JANICE: She's supposed to help me

with the grocery shopping.

CAMERON: Yeah, well... I need a hand.

Don't forget, I'm working tonight.

[Door closes]

There's some fallen lumber up on the ridge.

If we can get it out, we can sell it.

You see that guy?

He's a slave-owner.

Don't call me "master" in front of him

or else he might want to borrow you.

[Car doors closing]

[Birds chirping]

[Birds chirping]

[Chopping]

[Colleen sighs]

COLLEEN: You seem different up here.

[Cameron sighs]

I like it.

Space to think.

What's up?

You think maybe I could go home one day?

Well... as far as I know,

no slave's ever been allowed to go home.

I don't know if the Company would ever trust a slave enough

to let them go home.

You can trust me.

I'll tell you what...

I'll let you write a letter home.

Okay?

Now, don't stop stacking.

COLLEEN: You know, my Dad does tree work.

Bet you two'd get along.

[Cameron chuckling]

Ah! Damn!

Damn!

[Groaning]

[Groaning]

CAMERON: Hey!

Gimme a hand, will you?

I can't move here!

[Groaning]

*

*

CAMERON: Hey! C'mon, will you?

COLLEEN: Let's see.

[Cameron grunting]

COLLEEN: Okay... This is gonna hurt.

[Cameron yells]

CAMERON: Never done that before.

First time for everything.

JANICE: You didn't clean it properly.

I'll do it. Just go fix dinner.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, not now.

Do you still love me, Cam?

[Cameron exhales]

I just said I'm tired here.

Sometimes I think you care more about K

than you do about me.

I saw you the other day,

while you were whipping her.

I know what you're thinking.

You want her, don't you?

She's my slave...

But she's your slave too.

We could share her.

Okay.

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

*

[Cameron sighs]

CAMERON: What's your problem?

JANICE: Bastard!

CAMERON: What? What did I do?

JANICE: Bastard!

CAMERON: What did I do? What is your problem, huh?

Jan!

Where the hell do you think you're going?

JANICE: Oh, get off me!

CAMERON: What the heck is wrong with you?

You promised me! You promised me, Cam!

You promised!

Oh, come on! It was your idea!

My idea? We had an agreement!

Come on, look, what is the big difference, anyways?

JANICE: I'm your wife!

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Everything I do for this marriage,

and you do nothing!

CAMERON: Okay, okay, okay.

What do you want?

Put that bitch in her box,

and you never touch her again!

[Punching wall]

up by Lake Tahoe next week.

You fancy that?

JANICE: Yeah, that'd be nice.

JANICE: Get out.

Thank you, ma'am.

AMBER: Mama?

JANICE: Hey, sweetie.

Cam? Please.

CAMERON: Hey, princess. You okay?

AMBER: Yeah.

CAMERON: Okay, come on.

That's Amber?

She's supposed to be sleeping.

But she's grown up.

How long have I been in here?

CAMERON: Okay. Think that's it.

JANICE: You wanna bring your jacket?

CAMERON: Nah.

Forecast is good all week.

Don't let her be hurt...

COLLEEN: I heard you praying for me.

BONNIE: What else am I going to do?

COLLEEN: I'm sorry, Bonnie, but I need to figure out

why God wants this to happen to me.

There has to be a reason, right?

JANICE: You're only here to take the pain.

for me to eat?

JANICE: Give me a minute.

Ah, heck.

*

I was thirsty.

Did you find any answers?

COLLEEN: I'm just trying to understand.

God says there's a reason for everything.

CAMERON: Well...

Go figure.

Get in.

TELEVISION: And now a word from our sponsors...

*

*

*

*

*

*

JANICE: What have you been doing?

CAMERON: What's it to you?

CAMERON: Come here.

Listen...

I don't know what your problem is these days,

but if you're not gonna let me do bondage any more,

I'm gonna have to let K out the box.

Are you gonna sleep with her again?

Probably.

Jan...

Let's face it.

You've been kinda rough on her.

I mean, it's been a couple of years, right?

And anyway, the Bible is quite clear.

A man is entitled to more than one wife.

So don't you think it's time you just accept the situation

and start helping make things work here?

God knows what we've done, Cam.

He's gonna punish us.

CAMERON: K is not a prisoner.

She's chosen to be here.

It's what she wants, and it's what I want too.

So if you have problems with her,

the best thing to do is try and find and ways

to work them out.

And you want things to work out, right?

[TV noise]

[TV noise]

CAMERON: Hey, Amber. Look who's back.

Hi, K.

Hi, Amber.

How are you?

Fine.

Thank you, ma'am.

[Car door slams]

[Engine starts]

[Motor fading away]

Come on out.

Here, take this.

COLLEEN: What's this?

I thought we could read the Bible together.

Cameron says a woman's head should be covered

in reverence to God.

COLLEEN: "So Sarah said to Abraham,

'See now, the Lord has restrained me

from bearing children.

Please, go in to my maid;

perhaps I shall obtain children by her.'

Then Sarah, Abraham's wife, took Hagar, her maid,

and gave her to her husband."

JANICE: Cameron says you and I are a bit like

Sarah and Hagar.

Hagar was Abraham's slave, but, uh...

Sarah had to learn to share Hagar with her husband.

Except you're a slave too.

With the Company.

Right.

Cameron says we have to learn to get along better.

So that's what we're gonna do.

Okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Don't call me that anymore, please.

Just call me Jan.

*

[TV noise in background]

[TV noise in background]

Put her to sleep, then go take a shower

and wait in the bedroom.

COLLEEN: Hey, sweetie. CAMERON: Night-night.

[TV noise in background]

[TV noise in background]

[TV noise in background]

CAMERON: You remember that time you told me

that everything happens for a reason?

I think you were right.

I think God sent you here

because he wants us to be together.

I think maybe one day you could even be my slave wife.

Maybe we could even have a baby together.

Are you asking me, or are you telling me?

I'm asking you.

COLLEEN: Well, then, if you're asking me,

then... I don't know if I want to have a baby with you.

Why not?

I try to be a good slave,

but sometimes I feel like you still don't trust me.

That's not true.

I trust you. I trust you.

Then let me see my family.

[Cameron sighs]

I already explained to you,

I'm trying to get it approved,

but the Company has never let a slave to go home before.

Not ever.

Can I ask you something?

CAMERON: Sure.

When did all this start for you?

What do you mean?

The thing for bondage, torture.

When I was five, six years old...

I started drawing pictures of women tied up.

Then I met Jan, and...

she was the first one who would let me

try things out on her.

But the problem is that she's never been able

to handle it really well.

Not like you.

What would you do if someone did this to your daughter?

I'd kill them.

Then how do you think my Dad feels?

Get in the box.

How's that?

JANICE: It's nice.

Never had anyone do my hair before.

Thank you.

AMBER: Pretty.

COLLEEN: And you are too, little one.

PRIEST: Jesus said, "If you were blind,

you would not be guilty of sin.

But now that you claim you can see,

still your guilt remains."

We cannot pull the wool over the eyes of the Lord.

You're looking better.

What are you planting?

Beans.

Uh, when I'm working...

does... does Cameron spend time with you?

I only do what Master tells me.

[Birds chirping]

I gotta get ready for work.

[Door closes]

AMBER: [Inaudible]... Okay?

JANICE: [Chuckles] Okay.

It's like a rainbow now.

[Janice giggling]

CAMERON: Hey.

Go fix dinner.

She-- she'll be there in a minute.

We're just finishing up a game.

What?

Uh, K will be there in a second.

We're just playing with Amber.

Get in the bedroom.

Mama?

JANICE: It's okay, sweetie. Um...

Why don't you play with K for a minute?

COLLEEN: Mommy will be right back.

AMBER: Okay. COLLEEN: Okay?

[Hitting noises] [Janice crying]

[Janice crying]

Why is mama crying?

It's okay, sweetheart.

Let's go play a game of Hide and Seek, okay?

[Janice crying in background]

CAMERON: It's like a miracle.

The Company said that you can visit home.

Really?

I know, right?

Do you realize you're the first slave

who's been allowed to visit home?

How?

How did you convince them?

CAMERON: It wasn't easy, believe me.

COLLEEN: How soon can I go?

Real soon, real soon.

But listen. Here's the thing.

My reputation with the Company is on the line here,

so they insisted that you pass some obedience tests

to make sure that they can trust you.

What do I have to do?

Point this towards you,

and put the barrel in your mouth.

Now, pull the trigger.

[Breathing nervously]

[Breathing nervously]

[Trigger clicks]

[Colleen gasps]

Let's write your folks.

[Music playing on radio]

[Music pl

[Music playing on radio]

[Music playing on radio]

[Music playing on radio]

You know, I really stuck my neck out for you

to make this trip.

All the extra security almost cost me

fifteen hundred bucks.

How did you afford it?

I used to transport slaves for the Company.

I'm calling in credit.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Music playing on radio]

* Baby, let's take the world on tonight *

*

It's just up here on the left.

Yeah, I know.

CAMERON: Remember, the whole time you're here,

the Company's gonna be watching the house

and listening in.

So you'd best not screw up,

or someone's likely to get hurt.

I won't.

I won't screw up.

[Knocking on door]

COLLEEN: Aah!

BONNIE: Oh my God!

Hi, Dad!

Come here, you!

Oh boy, you lost weight!

Hey!

Oh!

COLLEEN: Sorry, this is Mike. CAMERON: Hi.

JACK: Hey Mike, how are ya?

CAMERON: Uh, listen, I've gotta get going,

but I'll see all you folks later.

RUTH: Here, let me take your jacket...

[Car door closes] [Engine starts]

BONNIE: I know, can you believe it? Yeah!

JACK: Don't listen to her, don't listen to her!

BONNIE: No, I'm certain I saw you that morning!

JACK: You say this every time! Don't listen to her.

RUTH: Smile!

[Shutter clicks]

RUTH: Nice.

BONNIE: So you remember Don and Carrie?

Yeah, of course.

They just had another baby.

COLLEEN: Oh, wow, is that two?

No, that's six.

Six?

BONNIE: Yeah.

Wow...

Don loves his wife, what can you say?

RUTH: I think he just eats too much red meat,

if you ask me.

[Laughter]

So, you gonna tell us about this new guy?

What's his name, again?

COLLEEN: Mike.

JACK: It's a shame he couldn't stick around.

Would have liked to meet him.

Oh, well, I'm sure you'll meet him

at some point or another.

He had to go to a work conference.

RUTH: What does he do?

COLLEEN: Something with computers.

Um... I don't know exactly.

You never asked?

He doesn't like to talk about his work so much.

Excuse me.

Are we really just gonna talk around this all day?

It's obvious that something's not right.

JACK: Just let her be.

Come on!

She's wearing handmade chinos, for heaven's sake.

That's not Colleen.

JACK: Hey... BONNIE: And her hair, Dad!

Hey! We talked about this.

Don't push her with a bunch of questions, alright?

If she's involved in a cult or something,

the last thing we want to be doing

is frightening her off.

The main thing is she's here.

I mean it, Bonnie.

[Colleen clears throat]

RUTH: Who's for apple pie?

BONNIE: You looked so cute there!

COLLEEN: Oh, man...

BONNIE: Nice dress. [Laughing]

COLLEEN: You look so sweet.

BONNIE: Aw, yeah...

JACK: Okay, well, I'm gonna turn in for the night.

It's been a long day.

COLLEEN: Goodnight, Dad. I love you.

JACK: I love you too.

You're here for a couple of days, yeah?

COLLEEN: Till Monday.

JACK: Alright, we'll see you in the morning.

BONNIE: Goodnight.

COLLEEN: Where were we?

That was your cousin's wedding.

Susan got married?

BONNIE: Mm-hm.

BONNIE: You know, it would have been nice

if you'd been there.

I wish I'd been there too.

BONNIE: So why weren't you?

I mean, we didn't hear from you in so long...

For all we knew, you might have been dead.

Bonnie, don't say that. BONNIE: No, but it's true.

You used to write every week,

and then all of a sudden, nothing.

What was I supposed to think?

Bonnie, I... I've been busy.

Oh, come on, Colleen. Too busy to write?

Too busy to, like, pick up a phone?

Bonnie, please, I love you...

But I just, I can't talk about this right now.

Why?

I'm really tired. I should get to bed.

JACK: I should take you and show you the shop

later on or something. COLLEEN: Yeah.

JACK: Go have a look at that. Yeah, yeah.

Things have changed, things have changed.

BONNIE: Colleen, you wanna give me a hand?

COLLEEN: Sure. You all done?

JACK: You bet, yeah.

Hey, listen, Colleen. Last night, I...

Bonnie, can we just enjoy our time together?

Please?

Well, are we gonna be seeing more of you?

COLLEEN: I hope so.

BONNIE: You hope so? You're not sure?

Colleen, I can tell something's up.

You know you can tell me anything, right?

JACK: Colleen?

You wanna tell me what's really going on?

JACK: Colleen? You got a visitor.

RUTH: Hi.

COLLEEN: Hi.

CAMERON: Hey.

I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow.

Yeah, conference, uh, finished early.

You wanna grab your stuff?

Been at a work seminar up in Portland,

and we figured it was a great chance

to come and visit you folks.

I know, uh, Colleen's been keen to see you.

JACK: Yeah, well, it's... it's been a while.

RUTH: It has.

Oh, I'm sorry, this is my wife, Ruth.

And this is Colleen's sister, Bonnie.

Nice to meet you, ma'am. RUTH: Nice to meet you.

CAMERON: Hi. BONNIE: Hi.

JACK: Well, how long you guys known each other?

CAMERON: Oh, just a few months.

Uh, I don't know if she said, but we're, uh...

We're actually planning on getting married pretty soon.

RUTH: [Laughing] What?

JACK: No, she did not.

She kept those cards pretty close to her chest.

Wow, that's good for you.

That's... great.

You never said you were getting married.

Oh, I...

It's just we hadn't decided to make it official.

Sorry, I figured now was as good a time as any

to give them the news.

RUTH: Well, I think it's wonderful.

I'm gonna get the camera.

JACK: Yeah, well, have you got a date picked out?

CAMERON: No, no. Uh...

Hopefully we'll fix something up soon.

JACK: Alright, well, you be sure and let us know.

So where you guys living now?

California.

Hm...

I thought you said that you were here in Oregon?

We're just moving to Klamath Falls right now.

JACK: Alright, well, you got a number?

Well, like Colleen said,

we're kind of in the process of moving.

But we'll be sure to get you guys all the contact details

just as soon as we're settled.

JACK: Yeah, alright.

RUTH: Let's get a picture of the happy couple, okay?

CAMERON: Oh, sure, sure. RUTH: Get together.

[Cameron chuckles]

RUTH: Nice, okay. One more.

CAMERON: Yeah?

RUTH: Oh, yay, got it. Great.

Well, we'd better get going.

You know, we've got quite a long drive ahead of us.

It was good to meet you, Mike.

RUTH: Bye, sweetie...

JACK: You take good care of her.

Don't worry. I will.

CAMERON: Before I met you,

your life was going the wrong way.

Now you're at a crossroads.

One path leads to righteousness,

the other leads to hell.

And now it's time for you to choose

which way you want to go.

CAMERON: I think it's time you and I got married.

COLLEEN: What about Ma'am?

CAMERON: She'll learn to accept it eventually.

I was thinking we could fix you up

with your own place here.

COLLEEN: Really?

I'd like that.

So... you ready to start a family with me?

[Door slams]

CAMERON: Ah, damn.

Hey.

You're home early. What's up?

JANICE: Nothing. I'm tired.

[Horn honking]

*

COLLEEN: What are you doing?

JANICE: Leaving.

COLLEEN: Leaving?

What do you mean? Where are you going?

JANICE: I don't know. To my parents'.

But what happened?

JANICE: What happened...?

Somehow, there's one too many people in my marriage.

But you can't-- you can't leave.

Cameron needs us both.

Maybe. But he only wants you.

Come on, honey, Grandpa's waiting outside.

AMBER: Bye, K.

COLLEEN: Bye.

CAMERON: What's going on?

Hey!

You wanna tell me what this is all about?

JANICE: I'm sorry, Cam, I can't do this anymore.

You, K, all of it.

CAMERON: Come on, Jan. Get back inside the house.

JANICE: I'm serious, if you won't end it, I will.

CAMERON: What's that supposed to mean, huh?

What are you gonna do? You gonna go to the police?

Maybe.

Maybe I'll tell them everything.

Sure, go ahead.

If you do that, you can kiss Amber goodbye.

Well, at least I won't be burning in hell.

CAMERON: Hey, you know what?

Don't try and pin everything on me here.

You got exactly what you wanted.

JANICE: Oh, you think this is what I wanted?

[Car starts]

*

[Rain falling outside]

[Rain falling outside]

COLLEEN: Can I get you anything?

[Thunder rolling]

What the hell do you think you're doing, huh?

I'm sorry... I don't understand.

Attention!

Who do you think you are?

You think you can just wear whatever you want now?

Huh? Is that it?

[Colleen breathing nervously]

Answer me when I speak to you.

I said, "Is that it?"

No.

"No, master"!

What happened to showing some respect?

[Smashes bottle]

CAMERON: Come with me. [Colleen gasps]

Get in.

*

*

Told you I'd get you your own place.

Don't worry, you won't be on your own.

There's room for plenty more.

JANICE: We should get going before Cameron gets back.

COLLEEN: I thought you'd left.

JANICE: You're the one who needs to leave.

Leave?

What are you talking about?

Cameron's just angry right now, it'll be okay.

*

[Scraping noises]

[Digging noises]

JANICE: There was another girl...

before you.

What do you mean?

Her name was Marlitz.

We picked her up near Mineral, about a year before we met you.

Cameron used to drive me to the woods out there

and hang me up.

She was hitching, just like you.

He said it would be fine, that it was just a game.

And then when he got her home,

she wouldn't stop screaming.

We buried her... out near Quincy.

[Water dripping]

JANICE: Every day, I have prayed to God

that I could change what happened,

that-- that he would forgive me.

But, uh, maybe some people aren't meant to be forgiven.

Maybe some sins are unforgivable.

[Car approaching]

[Car door closes]

*

*

[Car approaching]

Bus will be here any minute.

Will you be okay?

JANICE: I don't know.

I don't know anything anymore.

[Bus approaching]

I can stay if you want.

You need to go home.

But what about the Company? Won't they track us down?

Cameron was never in the Company.
