- Our leader.

Leader of what?

Evetybody.

Of course.

Listen,

could you take us to Isaac?

- Why not?

- He's scaty.

It's vety important we speak to

some grown ups as soon as possible.

- We're wasting ourtime, Vicky.

- Give her a chance.

I'm gonna go look

at the Town Hall.

Why?

Because we have a murder

to report...

and we're walking in circles,

wasting ourtime.

- Maybe she can help.

- Fine. You stay here with her.

Things aren't happening fast.

I'm gonna leave you the car.

I won't be gone vety long.

If anybody comes, honk. Okay?

Are we safe?

Yes. It's weird here,

but it's safe.

I'll be back.

So, it looks like it's just

you and me.

What were you doing here

by yourself? Just playing records?

Come on, you can tell me.

Drawing.

Drawing...

- what's so secret about drawing?

- I'm not supposed to.

You're not supposed to draw?

- Who says? Isaac?

- Malachai.

Malachai?

Why don't you draw me a picture

we won't tell Isaac...

or Malachai

or anybody?

- How's that sound?

- Okay.

- How's it coming?

- Fine.

- What did you draw?

- You.

You did?

Can I see?

What is this?

Burt?

Burt, is that you?

Burt, is that you?

Somebody here?

Who are you?

What do you want?

We want to give you peace.

Seize her.

Come on! Get her!

Let's finish it!

No!

No!

Burt!

Burt!

Burt!

Burt!

- Are we safe?

- Yes, it's weird here, but it's safe.

Help me!

Where are you taking me?

Help!

Help!

Vicky!

Sarah, what happened here?

What happened?

Where's Vicky?

You've gotta think.

Think.

What happened to her?

Please!

Does He speak to you, Isaac?

He speaks to me always.

But today he's displeased.

He's displeased with you,

Malachai.

What have I done?

Question Him not in vain.

Do you not know you sacrificed

Joseph without an offering?

And did you not spill the blood

of the old man...

when his oil and gasoline

were still useful to us?

We have our own fuel now

from the corn.

Sow not your pride, Malachai.

We have not enough.

Maybe He's displeased

that we have not offered Him...

- Sarah and Jobe.

- Sarah has the gift of sight.

She warned us of the coming

of the interlopers.

Question not my judgment,

Malachai.

I am the giver of His word.

Go you and bring me the husband.

We must offerthem tonight

when Amos leaves.

Sarah, come on.

Tell me what happened to her.

Look at me!

Think!

- What?

- Malachai.

Who's Malachai?

What do you mean?

Vicky?

Vicky?

Vicky?

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Nowthe blood of Amos

will be shared.

Stop it!

Stop that!

Hold the outlander!

What the hell is going on here?

Are you crazy?

What do you think you're doing?

My passage.

It's my birthday.

You've got a pretty sick way

of celebrating it, pal.

Silence, interloper!

Your presence profanes

this holy place.

- He will wreck with you.

- Great. I don't know who He is.

Maybe He'd like to discuss

what's going on here with me.

- It says it should be...

- Amos!

- It says it is written.

- Speak no more to him!

He is an unbeliever.

Hurry, get Isaac!

No! Wait!

Bring Malachai.

What do you mean: "As it's

written? "Written where?

What? In this?

Are you rewriting the whole thing

orthe parts that suit your needs?

- Back off!

- Sit down!

What do we have here?

Nineteen, eighteen...

What is this?

- These people died so young!

- Not died.

We go to Him the first night

of our nineteenth year.

Who the hell is Him?

He Who Walks

Behind The Rows.

Malachai comes!

Seize him!

Back off!

Seize him.

Do not let him escape.

Where is he?

Come on!

There he is. Go get him!

You! Go that way!

I need your help!

Come on!

Come on, help me

Help me!

Outlander!

He's here.

- Got you.

- This isn't a game.

Back off!

Outlander!

Go get him!

Check the doors!

Check the doors!

You guys go back to the alley.

You, overthere. You two follow me.

Sh*t!

Damn it!

Hey, mister!

I know a place to hide.

But we gotta hurry.

- Who are you?

- Jobe. Stop asking questions.

Come on!

Will you come on?

Careful.

Don't be a scared cat.

- Come on. It's only me and Sarah.

- Sarah?

Yes, my sister.

Isn't that nice?

My dad built it...

when the communists launched

theirfirst strike.

I don't think it's the communists

we have to worty about.

Don't worty.

Nobody knows about this place.

It's secret.

- Those guys are friends of yours?

- No way!

They listen to Isaac

and Malachai.

- Who are Isaac and Malachai?

- Isaac started the whole thing.

If he hadn't come,

this would never have happened.

When he was young,

he was a preacher...

so evetybody believed him.

They thought he had

a great spirit.

I thought he was weird.

We must sacrifice

them both tonight.

Amos will satisfy Him.

We need the woman.

- She'll bring the man to us.

- No.

He must be taken

without her.

We cannot remove her

from this place. It is holy.

We'll bring the Lord two

by using one.

Do not blaspheme, Malachai.

You know not the laws.

He speaks them only to me.

I think not, Isaac.

You are the one who's lost

favor with Him.

He's a God of blood

and sacrifice, not ceremonies.

Sacrilege!

Down on your knees, heretic!

Shut your mouth, Isaac!

You've grown proud farfrom us.

He Who Walks Behind The Rows

will decide yourfate.

Don't you sit there, seize him!

Punish him, cut him down.

I command you!

I am the word and the giver

of His laws.

Disobedience to me

is disobedience to Him.

Do it now oryour punishment

will be a thousand times...

a thousand deaths, each more

horrible than the last.

They're tired of yourtalk.

I've showed them what I can do.

Cut the woman down.

Put Isaac in her place.

We'll see howthe Lord

favors you.

Dare not to blaspheme.

He will punish you.

The God of hell will devouryou.

All of you!

No! No!

No! No!

When my dad wouldn't get up

I ran from Hansen...

to get Officer Hodgekiss.

But it was too late.

Why?

What happened to him?

He got away at that time.

He went to the barn

after he talked to the minister.

Minister?

- What happened to the minister?

- Malachai.

Outlander!

Outlander!

You, overthere.

He's coming.

You, overthere.

Outlander!

Outlander!

We have your woman.

She still lives.

Outlander!

Maybe you don't hear so well.

Her blood will spill

unless you give yourself up.

We won't wait much longer.

The night is coming.

Night is His time.

Outlander!

Come on!

Come on, outlander!

Are you looking forthat lady?

- Yes, you know where she is?

- They took her out to the clearing.

- What clearing? Where?

- In the corn field.

- Are you sure?

- Of course I'm sure.

I followed them,

just like I followed you.

Show me.

- Okay.

- Come on, let's go.

Okay.

Quiet.

Come on.

Follow me to the barn.

Careful.

I'm ready to celebrate

my birthday.

Malachai!
