I think you will.

I think it's time for you

to get out of my house now.

You know my sister Rebecca

and her husband Caleb?

Rebecca recently

lost another child.

I heard.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You should be.

God is punishing us for the sins

committed in this land,

sins that you are committing

in this house.

It's time for you to go.

All of you get out of my house.

Caleb!

Take her outside!

Now... I'm gonna give

you one more chance.

Where's my wife?

It will be a cold day in hell

before I tell you anything.

You're gonna burn

in a lake of fire.

And you're going to see that

the hell you're going to...

is far from frozen.

Hey, Mom.

Hey.

Um, when are we going?

Oh, we're just

waiting for the van.

What?

What? What's up? What happened?

I'm scared.

Don't be frightened.

Are you gonna die?

I promise, I promise

I'm gonna be all right.

I promise you.

OK?

It's OK.

It's OK.

I told you to come here today

because I won't have another

chance to see you again.

I'm being transferred

to Pelican Bay.

What?

I don't know if I

can live without you.

God will show you the way.

How come you can't

be here anymore?

I've been declared

a dangerous criminal.

I'm to be put in isolation,

allowed no visitors.

Well, how will we

get in touch with you?

Don't worry.

I've taken care of everything.

Caleb... why didn't you

stop that car?

You never do anything

you have to do.

Why haven't you done

anything about that clinic

that continues to

murder unborn babies?

I'm sorry.

You've never done anything.

You've never

accomplished anything.

And you have strayed

from our message.

Your preachings have

suffered for it.

I see the seed of doubt in you.

When did you receive the spirit?

The spirit comes to those

who do His bidding...

and it last touched me

when I pulled the trigger.

It flowed over me

like warm honey.

I feel it too.

I am moved by it.

Do you understand?

Yes... yes, you see it.

I see it.

What do you see?

Joan Lincoln has taken

her 13-year-old daughter

across state lines

to get an abortion...

on the advice of the woman

who took your wife from you.

Yard

crew, having a check point now.

What are you prepared to do?

Through this world

of toil and snare...

if I falter,

Lord, who cares?

Who with me my burden

my burden shares?

None but Thee, dear Lord,

none but Thee.

Just a closer...

Caleb.

What?

He wants us to burn her.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I'm glad you're home.

Had a rough morning

at the clinic.

What happened?

The protesters were

back in full force.

They were throwing sh*t

and yelling at me.

Jeremiah was in here

threatening me after his sister,

or whatever she is,

tried to bash me with her cane.

They were in the house?

Yeah, in the office.

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm gonna go talk

to those bastards.

Babe, I just want you

to stay here with me.

I'll be back.

Hey, Sheriff,

it's Angela calling.

Um, yeah, no,

Mac just ran out of here.

He's going to find Jeremiah

Baarker, and he's really upset.

No, I... I don't know.

I just thought

maybe you could...

OK... thank you.

Mac... Mac, where are you?

Mac!

Mac, don't do anything stupid.

Hey.

Ow.

Let's go.

Get up.

You got a lot of nerve

threatening a woman like that.

Just... just calm down, Officer.

I... I just want

to find my wife.

Your wife?

She's left you.

And... and... and I intend

to get her back.

Let me make something

perfectly clear.

If you ever go near Angela

again, I will kill you.

I understand that you're upset,

but I would be very careful about

what you're saying right now.

F*** you!

You're threatening a pastor.

You could lose your badge

for that.

If you go near Angela

again, I will kill you.

She's gonna

get what's coming to her,

and there's nothing that you or

anyone else can do to stop me, OK?

What the hell are you doing?

Are you insane?

Get in your car... now.

Thank you, Sheriff.

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

I think he's just...

I don't know what the hell is going on

with you two, but it's gotta cool down...

all right?

Of course, yeah,

he's clearly upset.

Sheriff, thank you.

All right, here,

I'll give you a lift home.

No, the beach.

Isn't it beautiful?

Can I help you?

I don't think so.

I want you get off my property.

Mom, what's going on?

It's OK, honey.

Please just leave.

We have to talk to you first.

I don't think so.

Mom?

You're going to pay

for what you've done.

Just go.

Run! Run, run!

Run!

We know what you did, Joan.

We know you took her

to have her baby killed.

Both of you are sinners.

The mother of God weeps

for the baby you murdered.

What are you talking about?

How would you feel if

we killed your daughter?

- No! No, no, no! No!

- No! No! No!

- No! No!

- No, no, no!

Why? Why'd you do it, Joan?

You killed one.

Why not another?

- No, no! No! No! No, no, no!

- No! No! No!

Why'd you do it?

Why'd you take her to

have her baby killed?

Why?

No! I... No!

I just went there because

I had a lump in my breast.

She's lying!

No, I'm not.

I thought I had cancer.

You've gotta believe me!

No, you gotta believe me!

I thought I had cancer!

There was no abortion.

For God's sake, let her go!

- It's a sin!

- Leave her alone!

What you did is a sin.

Mommy, no!

I believe.

I believe in God.

I believe in the church.

Oh, my God, what'd I do?

What's wrong with you people?

Oh, my God, no!

Are you a soldier of God?!

Do it!

- Mommy!

- Do it!

Do it, Caleb!

Oh, my God!

No, please, no!

No! No!

Angela! Angela!

Angela!

Angela!

Annie!

Annie, what happened?

What's wrong?

She's dead.

They killed her.

Who's dead? Who?

Mom! Mom!

They killed her.

Mom! They...

Come here.

Calm down.

No! No! They killed her!

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna help you.

I need you to calm down for me. I'm going

to help you, OK? We can call the sheriff.

No, you have to

help me right now!

I'm gonna help you.

I'm gonna help you.

You need to tell me what happened.

Just take a deep breath.

Just take a deep breath.

- No, you need...

I'm gonna help. Shh.

I'm gonna call the sheriff, OK?

- No! You...

Right now! No!

I'm gonna call Mac.

I'm gonna call Mac, OK?

Mac is going to

come and help us.

I can't do anything. You need

to tell me what happened.

Where are they?

- They cut her throat.

- Who did?

- The three of them!

Sheriff's Department.

What?

Slow down.

Where is she now?

OK, just stay there, OK?

Stay there.

- What's going on?

- It was Angela.

She's got Annie

Lincoln at the clinic.

She says she saw Caleb

Baarker kill her mother.

- What?

- Yeah.

Annie saw this?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Where?

I don't know.

At the house.

I'll check the barn.

Joan?

Joan?

She's probably at

work or something.

She's not here.

Can we get to the clinic now?

All right.

Hey.

Angela?

Hey, hey, get away

from the door!

Am I doing something wrong?

Mac, give me the gun!

Get back.

You, get over by the car.

OK, Sheriff.
