weird energy and I couldn't think straight.

He had a way about him.

That's hard to focus.

Well, the thing about my

wife really stunned me.

And you were saying that

he must have heard it

from one of the people we

talked to, which makes sense,

but man, f*** me, it was

all just so jarring.

All that clapping.

I hope it wasn't worthless.

See, they're setting up for a party

and hopefully we can get

some better footage

to make up for me dropping

the ball like that.

Sorry, man.

There's a ton of good stuff, man, I

don't think you should worry about it.

With Patrick...

When all God's

children get together

What a time, what a

time, what a time

We're gonna sit down by

the banks of the river

What a time, what a

time, what a time

When all God's

children, get together

What a time, what a

time, what a time

We're gonna sit down by

the banks of the river

What a time, what a

time, what a time

When all God's

children, get together

What a time, what a

time, what a time

We're gonna sit down by

the banks of the river

What a time, what a

time, what a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

We're gonna have a time

What a time

Okay, I've completely turned

the corner on this place.

I'm a fan of this goat.

And people seemed really psyched, party

was great even without any booze.

I'm starting to be able to see why

people want to live like this.

I mean, I wouldn't, but I think

I'm starting to better understand

where they're coming from. I dig it.

Music's actually really good.

And I f***ing hate church music.

Yeah, he wasn't lying about that.

Patrick's having a good

time wherever he is.

He might not want to

come back with us.

Oh, heads up.

Hey, Savannah.

You're having a good time?

What? Is this for me?

Thank you.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

What is it?

What's it say?

Oh, sh*t.

Fix me, Jesus, fix me

- Where is she?

- I don't know.

Oh, fix me

Oh, fix me

Oh, fix me

Fix me, Jesus, fix me

And there's the guards.

What are they doing with guns?

I don't like this.

We got to find Patrick.

Patrick?

He's not in here.

F***.

What is all this sh*t?

Let's get out of here.

Sam, hold on. Safe's open.

It's all their passports.

Dude, I don't give a sh*t. Let's go.

Leave it, man.

Holy sh*t.

- It's all their passports.

- Dude, I don't give a sh*t. Let's go.

I got to get some shots of you

looking through this sh*t.

Somebody's coming, Jake, come on.

Come on.

Can I help you guys?

Yeah, we were just looking

for your brother.

His room's just right

around the corner.

Oh, he is not here right now.

Huh?

I completely forgot. He is busy.

Busy doing what?

I've been telling Allison

and Sarah about him

And they're just so happy

that he's finally here.

So they took him.

Threesomes aren't

particularly Christian,

if I'm remembering

Sunday school correctly.

Well, we all have to sin every once in

a while as long as Father approves.

He approved getting

your brother laid?

One must not question

what's best for the Parish.

How so?

I love my brother and

I miss him so much.

And I think that he

would be so happy here

and we're just trying

to show him that.

Don't you think he'd

miss New York, his job?

He can be a photographer here.

And he has all these ideas...

This idea about this book

about the Parish, I

think it's brilliant.

And my parents can support him and we're

expanding all this and we need money.

And if Patrick stays then

we can get the money and...

Yeah, you want your parents to send

money to help build this place out.

It's a donation.

It's the same as you.

It's... We just need to get

through this next phase

and then we'll be completely fine.

Oh, are you all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Caroline, I need your assistance.

I'm coming, Father.

If you see Patrick, tell

him to come see us.

Okay.

Just relax. You're in paradise.

You fellows seem lost.

Do you need someone to walk

you back to your cottage?

No. We're fine.

You sure about that?

You wouldn't want to walk

into the wrong place.

Why?

Is there something you

don't want us to see?

It's just an expression, friend.

It's late, you want to go poking

around other people's business,

you go right on ahead.

But if you put your hand

into the dog's bone,

don't be surprised if you get bit.

What's that supposed to mean?

You boys have a nice evening.

Sam, let's just drop it.

Patrick? Sam, come on.

Sh*t.

What the f*** is going on here?

Did he just threaten us?

I'm not sure.

Do you think he knows

we were in the office?

Anyway, is Patrick's

sister hiding his files?

I know she is not supposed to be.

They're just using Patrick?

I don't know.

I don't know what's

going on anymore.

This is too f***ed up.

These people are happy living here.

Good for them, but I don't want to

get any more involved. I'm done.

Also, if she's getting high

and sleeping with the guy,

what's the point of this place?

It's supposed to be

sober living, right?

I mean, she looks an awful lot

like the f***ed up sister

Patrick was describing.

Savannah? Where is she, dude?

Where did she go?

I don't know.

Please, take us with you.

What?

You don't know what's

really going on here.

They will kill us if they

know we were talking to you.

Who?

Father.

This place is not

what it seems like.

They hurt people who

go against the Parish.

Please, you have to help us.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What do you mean?

They keep it secret,

but it happens.

Father will not let us leave.

We're prisoners here.

You are being manipulated.

We talked with plenty other

people, they all seemed happy.

No.

You talked with who Father

wanted you to talk with.

Many other people won't tell you

but they are afraid to speak out.

You don't understand the hold

he has over a lot of them,

they're brainwashed and don't even

know it, they'll do anything he asks.

Your friend's sister

is one of them.

She has done terrible things

to people who act tough.

Savannah saw them.

They beat my daughter, that's

why she won't speak anymore.

Please, please, help us.

I don't know what we can do. Our

helicopter comes in the morning,

but it's not big enough to

carry many more people out.

- Then just take my daughter.

- What?

Please, don't let her die.

I beg you.

Shh! Ssh! Somebody is coming.

Oh, God.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

What is going on here?

We found her wandering out here.

We're trying to find out where

she lives. She doesn't talk much.

- I will take her.

- Oh, it's okay. We can do it.

I know where she lives.

I will take her.

Where is your mother, Savannah?

I will go tell Father.

Let's go.

Jesus Christ.

Come on.

Let's just get back inside.

They were terrified.

We shouldn't have let him take her.

Why the f*** did we let them take her?
