(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Oh my God, I've had five...

Did we eat dinner yet?

SARAH:
(CHUCKLES) No.

We haven't eaten?

Really? Nothing?

SARAH:
(CHUCKLES) No.

(ALL CHEERING)

GREG:
The pride of

Humboldt Country right there.

SARAH:
The food's here,

the food's here. Finally.

Oh, my gosh,

that looks so good.

KATE:
Thank you.

And, oh, I think

that's yours, Alex.

ALEX:
That looks

more beautiful than...

(SPEAKS IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

What are you talking about?

Nothing, I'll tell

you when you're older.

Nerdy R and C girls?

Ask your father.

Ask your dad...

You stop laughing!

You don't even know

what's going on!

Eat your goat dick

and shut up.

(LAUGHING)

And you stop laughing.

ALEX:
Okay, I'm rollin',

let's hear it.

(EXHALES)

Many years ago,

beautiful woman builds

home outside Pavlovka.

She never bother nobody.

But she is stranger.

And these were very

cautious times.

So one day,

it happens in town.

The cattle get sick.

Children get sick.

People start to die.

Villagers want to know why.

Why is this happening?

Who is to blame?

They don't understand

germs, these people.

So here you have single woman,

beautiful single woman.

She live outside of town.

She never go to church.

And she has black cat.

She must be witch!

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

What happened?

Well, villagers

go to her house.

They tie her to stake,

they burn her alive.

End of story.

Millions times this happens.

They burned her alive?

Da.

Yeah, people

suck all over, man.

That's just the way it is.

That's just the way it is.

I mean, it's no different

than what we did in

Salem in the 1600s.

Yes, but in Pavlovka,

this happens only

100 years ago.

100 years only.

That is awful.

Not really, it's

good for business.

ALEX:
Oh, sh*t, the

restaurant's called

the Burning Stake.

(LAUGHS)

The Burning Stake.

The Burning Stake.

(SPEAKS OTHER LANGUAGE)

Nasty, nasty.

Nice to know ya.

Nice to know you.

(SPEAKS OTHER LANGUAGE)

Nice to know you.

There's no "T" in borscht.

ALEX:
There is a "T"

VLADIMIR:
It's borsch.

ALEX:
It's at the

end of the word "borscht."

SARAH:
Everyone in America

says it with a "T," Vladimir.

VLADIMIR:
You're,

you're wrong.

(MAN SHOUTING

IN OTHER LANGUAGE)

(KATE AND GREG LAUGHING)

ALEX:
Shh.

CONSTABLE:
The streets

are full of drunks.

(SPEAKS OTHER LANGUAGE)

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Do you know your

back way to hotel?

We know the back way.

I only go back way.

I never go front way.

VLADIMIR:
Shh. Quiet, you.

(SPEAKS OTHER LANGUAGE)

ALEX:
Take me

to your back way.

Come, come on.

ALEX:
I have to

piss like a tiger.

It is Friday morning.

We are still in Pavlovka.

And check this out.

She's been standing

there for like 20 minutes.

(KNOCKING)

(GASPS)

KATE:
Sarah, let's go!

SARAH:
Coming!

Alexi!

SARAH:
Look who it is.

Let's not, let's

just not do that, okay?

CONSTABLE:
Hello!

SARAH:
Oh, good morning,

Constable.

Good day.

SARAH:
Sorry about

yesterday at the church.

Just a misunderstanding

between people.

Different cultures.

Maybe I visit today.

SARAH:
Uh, I, well,

I don't think

I'd be the person

to talk to about that, but...

Uh, uh, Constable,

hi, I am Kate Banks.

Hi.

Uh, this is my crew.

(LAUGHS)

Now, I, I know that they

can be a little enthusiastic

but I assure you we won't

use any of the footage

that we shot in your church.

That would be appreciated.

Now I must ask, will

you be finished today?

Yes, absolutely, yes.

We would love to

spend more time

in your

beautiful town, but...

ALEX:
Well we'd just

love to stay in your

beautiful town.

Jesus, Kate.

What the f*** did

you want me to say?

The guy had a gun.

(LAUGHS) Kate, you

think like native.

Gun always wins.

Okay, okay, all right, shh.

Okay, now just...

Daddy doesn't feel good.

KATE:
About last night.

It sounds like you

guys had so much fun.

I wish I would go

in town more.

Hey, are you gonna film

absolutely everything?

SARAH:
Yeah, it's

just something we do.

KATE:
So we've got six more

hours of good light.

Guys, get set up.

Sarah, you're with me,

come on.

SARAH:
Okie-doke.

KATE:
Becky, I think it's

great right by that tree.

Let's get a close up.

Uh, just be natural.

Right, okay, uh...

SARAH:
(LAUGHS) Perfect.

All right, so, uh,

to camera.

Okay.

Do you have a lot

of neighbors close by?

No, my nearest neighbor

is about two miles away.

And do you have them over?

Do you have dinner

parties with them?

I think they think I'm weird.

Like, who would live

all the way out here

if they didn't have to?

SARAH:
Oh, they don't

find country life romantic?

(LAUGHS) Yeah,

no, guess not.

(SARAH LAUGHS)

I have some ferns,

of course, you know.

Um, very hot peppers.

Um, I have, uh, mandrake.

SARAH:
Mmm, growin'

some aphrodisiacs, huh?

KATE:
Okay, we're done.

Sarah!

I know that you're

Wallace's niece,

but out here I'm

your f***in' boss.

I was tryin' to help, Kate.

Sarah, shut the f*** up.

ALEX:
Oh, come on, Kate.

I know that you just

graduated from film

school and you think

that you know everything,

but you don't.

Okay? You don't.

And the only way that

you're going to learn

is by keeping your

f***ing mouth shut

and watching

the professionals

do their jobs.

You understand?

Do you understand?

ALEX:
Sarah, are you okay?

Just stay out of her way,

stick with us for a while,

let her calm down.

All right?

Okay.

It isn't all bad, I promise.

SARAH:
Are you guys

sure I'm not in the way?

ALEX:
No, you're okay.

BECKY:
Hey, guys.

GREG:
Hey.

ALEX:
Yo.

Are you filming

the cellar now?

Uh, we're not,

we're gonna shoot

the ground floor

while the light's good,

but later, yeah, for sure.

Okay.

GREG:
I promise

we'll get to it.

BECKY:
Okay.

F***in' cutie patootie.

ALEX:
Mmm-hmm.

Uh-huh.

SARAH:
What, Alex,

is she your type?

(LAUGHING)

I wanna get

this fireplace

but I'm thinkin'

that hot spot off the window,

it's not gonna look good.

ALEX:
How the

f*** did I do this?

Uh, you can just shoot it

from where she's standing.

Yeah.

SARAH:
Yeah, it

looks great from here.

GREG:
I need the reflectors.

How's that?

That's better.

Becky, in your own time.

And it, it's just, I mean,

the whole house smells warm.

The food comes out, like,

beautifully just because...

Pump, I don't know if

you remember before

but the water was,

you know, kinda came out

dripping and kinda green.

And all of this wood

here is salvaged wood

so everything is getting

a renewed life, you know?

So Goran did so much

on the outside here.

The staining,

detailing, these slats.

Anyway, um, if you come

inside, I can show you

some of my work.

Here.

Um, ooh, and this fire

I have to tend to

constantly.

Placement really

matters, you know.

It's not like working with

a commercial kiln at all

but it's really cool.

You know, uh, you go

back to the old ways,

be part of tradition.

And the best part is, um,

I made myself something

to remind me of how it was

when we first got here.
