[Sam cheerfully] Okay! Whoo!
[Rosie and Sam laughing]
- [Sam] Come on. - [Rosie] No!
[both laugh]
[Sam] Why not? It's lovely.
[Sam shivers and laughs]
- [laughs] No! No. - [water splashes]
I could teach you to swim if you want.
[chuckles] It's against the rules.
What? "Thou shalt not front crawl"?
[both laugh]
Come on, get out. You must be freezing.
[grunts]
[both laugh]
[both breathe heavily]
What's that? A birthday?
Um… [clears throat] I'll tell you one day.
So, um…
what time do you have to get back?
I'm not.
Oh, you're not going back?
Okay, so you're just gonna stay here in the woods, then?
Hide with me?
How will we pass the time?
How's that? The right length?
[Adam] Uh… Yep. Yeah, I think so.
I'll just finish these.
My father used to say,
"Becoming a leader's like a coat you get used to."
"Heavy on the shoulders, tight around the chest."
A higher calling, Brother Adam.
[Mrs. Phillips] It's not the suit,
but the soul within it.
And yours is pristine.
[tense ethereal music plays]
And smile.

[siren whoops]
[siren whoops twice]
Excuse me. Excuse me.
This number eight? The Harrisons'?
We're looking for an escaped prisoner.
Do you have any information? Any sightings?
I'm sorry, I've never seen him before. I can't help you.
And your husband, Adam Harrison?
- [workers yell indistinctly] - [saw whirs]
The guy's behind on the first phase. We really need to get a move on.
[suspenseful music plays]
[saws whirring]
[man in distance] Gotta reverse it first!
Once the other shipment's in, we'll get that identified.
- Sam! - [saw whirs loudly]
Sam! Sam!
[saw stops whirring]
Rosie, what's going on?
The police are coming. They're looking for Sam.
We need to hide you.
[Sam] Thanks.
For lying for me.
We don't like the police.
God's judgment is the only righteous one.
Not here.
[tense music plays]
- [cop] Thanks for your time, Mr. Harrison. - Of course.
[cop] Let us know if you see or hear anything.
[engine starts]
[car recedes into distance]
It's all clear.
They're gone.
I'm grateful. Thank you.
[gentle intriguing music plays]
Look, I-- I don't take it for granted what you're doing.
Well, we don't trust the police.
Yeah, uh, Rosie was explaining.
Anyway, I better get back to work.
- Thanks. - Mmm.
Rosie, the police are saying that he's-- he's on the run.
He's an escaped prisoner.
Okay.
Is it?
I-- I don't know what he's done. I don't know what this changes.
It doesn't.
It doesn't change anything.
He's one of us now.
[melancholic music plays]
[telephone rings]
[beeps]
[Isaac] Hello?
Anthony, is that you?
Anthony, please, just get your mum. It's really important, okay?
- Anthony, can you hear-- - [phone beeps]
Was that him?
Hmm?
[sternly] Anthony, was that Daddy again?
[somber music plays]
[vehicles whir and beep]
[Sam] Just come out with it.
[men chatter in yard]
You can ask me.
Anything.
I don't need to.
No?
I mean, it's-- it's clear the cops have got in your head.
Come on, you can't do this to me. Come on, it's not fair.
You-- You, uh…
You said the baptism was a clean slate, right?
- Adam, but if it's not, then-- - It is.
It is.
Yeah?
[chuckles]
So, who called the police?
My brother, Isaac.
[music intensifies]
[footsteps approaching]
[car approaches]
[engine stops]
[women and children chatter nearby]
Sorry about the sawdust, Mr. Phillips.
"Is not this the carpenter's son?"
Ah, Matthew, 13:55.
A meeting every evening, two on a Sunday. Need more than one set.
One more thing.
[objects clatter softly]
[tense ethereal music plays]
[clattering continues]
Here we are.
[door closes]
The Good Book.
A new chapter, Sam.
[Mr. Phillips] We welcome our new brother, Sam.
Thank you.
[congregation] Welcome, Sam.
[Mr. Phillips] Baptized and born again in Jesus Christ!
[congregation] Hallelujah!
We invite him to take his first communion.
[sweeping music plays]
We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
Though we are many, we are one.
[congregation] We all share in one bread.
[door opens briskly]
[softly] Mrs. Phillips, you need to come now.
[scattered whispering]
Brother Adam.
[congregation chatters indistinctly]
Rosie, I'm needed.
Me and Mr. Phillips.
Mrs. Dawson's about to pass.
It's my duty to shepherd her soul.
Sam.
Yeah?
Could you drop these two home for me?
Of course. No problem.
Mummy? Mummy, can I go to tea at Anthony's?
- It's not really up to me, darling. - [Noah cries]
What's one more?
You know, I never get this. Ever.
A night to myself.
There's always cleaning, cooking, Grace, meetings.
I barely have a moment to think about what I want to do.
And what do you want to do?
[door opens]
[door closes]
I want to go out.
[Sam chuckles]
[Rosie laughs]

You're not gonna have this?
- [laughs] No. - [laughs]
Garlic.
[both laugh]
Never had this.
Food like this.
It's nice.
[door chimes open]
- [siren wails in distance] - [Sam clears throat]
[man] What can I get you guys?
[woman] Two, uh… Two large number threes.
[man] You want sauce?
[customer and employee continue indistinctly]
Do you want children?
I always did.
Always saw myself with a large family.
Babies, toddlers crawling around everywhere.
Uh…
I mean, yeah. [chuckles]
Yeah, I used to think about it all the time when I was inside.
Things I thought I'd never have, you know?
A house and…
wife and kids.
I used to talk about it in Group.
The chances are, if you've had shit parents,
you're probably gonna be a shit parent yourself.
So they try to teach you to…
make it different.
[tender music plays]
The rest of the time you're banged up.
The only thing you really learn is how not to get your head kicked in.
Even when you're asleep, you have to have one eye open.
And the noise, fucking hell.
And the smell.
And the sweat.
And fear.
[breath trembles]
I just want some peace, Rosie.
[wheezing]
[woman] I can feel Him.
God all-seeing, all-knowing, in this very room.
And it's your honor to help her to cross over.
[Adam exhales nervously]
[anxious ethereal music plays]
[exhales]
[Mr. Phillips taps fingers]
[Adam] Father…
your precious servant is nearing her time on…
the end of her time on our…
on this earth.
[music intensifies]
[dishes clatter softly]
[anxious music swells]
[Rosie] Can I try it?
- What? - Your…
The lipstick.
It's gloss.
And no.
Please… [chuckles nervously] …it's just…
I've never worn it before.
Yeah. Yeah, that actually suits you.
[both chuckle]
Thank you.
[Adam] I stand before you,
your pure and holy servant…
and I offer you this soul.
And I…
[anxious music plays]
Hey, I can see clearly how pathetic you are.
Pose and preach all you want. I know how weak you are.
[music intensifies]
I can't. I can't. I can't. I'm not the right shepherd.
What's wrong with you, man? Step up.
Please! She deserves better.
[woman] Mr. Phillips.
- Do your job. - Please, she deserves better than this.
Entrust this woman into God.
He sees into my soul.
Mr. Phillips. Mr. Phillips, it's time.
[ominous music plays]
[Mr. Phillips] Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend her spirit.
Deliver her now from every sorrow,
and grant her eternal rest.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen. [audio fades]

[door opens and closes]
What's that?
I thought it looked nice.
You don't need that.
To… be that.
I'm sorry. Uh…

- [exclaims] - For fuck's sake, Rosie.
Put your arm around me, okay? We're gonna walk back to the van.
- They're not looking for a couple. - [Rosie gasps]
[alarm chirps, doors unlock]
- We need to go. - [sniffs]
I need to pick up Grace.
I'm sorry for running off.
And getting angry.
I should have said no to going out.
I can't do it. It's just too dangerous.
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
Rosie, you don't have to…
I want more than anything to make a fresh start.
But we can't do it, not out here.
Always waiting for a hand on my shoulder.
We can't stay and be together.
I'm married to Adam.
Marriages end. Divorce him.
Only men can get a divorce in the Fellowship.
I can't leave Adam unless I leave the community.
- We'll find a way. - How?
We can't make it work if we stay.
I have a husband.

How was it? With the, um…

It was, um…
terrible. I'm…
I couldn't do it. I-- I couldn't…
I couldn't deliver her soul. I'm-- I'm not the…
I'm not the right man.
Listen, I'm sure you did your best.
It's not enough. I am meant to be a leader.
A-- A-- A vessel of God's glory and truth and, uh…
[dark brooding music plays]
With a clean heart.
And I'm not… I'm-- I'm not…
I'm not the righteous man everyone…
I'm lost and…
stained.
You know what your problem is, Adam?
You think far too much.
[chuckles softly]
It can't be good for you.
You are far more powerful than you realize.

It was-- It was very peaceful.
How about you?
Just a quiet night in.
[Adam sighs]
[breath trembles]
[telephone rings]
- [beeps] - Hello.
[Isaac] Hey. Uh, hey, Adam, it's me.
- Don't hang up, please. It's important-- - [beeps]
It was Isaac.
He needs to stop calling.
[disquieting music plays]
[Sam] It's okay. I'll keep you safe.
You never have to be frightened of me, Rosie.
[leaves crunch underfoot]
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck.
Sam, is that you?
- There he is. - [Mason gasps]
[both chuckle]
Where have you been?
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
I thought I'd be back ages ago, but…
- My God. You made it. - [laughs]
[sighs happily]
[Sam] Mmm.
So, uh…
[Mason chuckles]
How was the… the crossing? Were you sick?
No. It was-- It was fine, actually.
Quite calm.
[softly] Good.
- Fucking hell. - [both laugh]
When the fuck did you grow up to be twice the size of me?
I can't get over the size of you. God, you look so different.
I know. Well, you too, as well. Look at you.
[Mason chuckles]
[sighs]
You know, I was, um…
I was trying to work it out, uh…
the last time we would have seen each other.
Do you remember?
Family day?
[chuckles]
God. The prison?
Yeah.
Jesus.
I was 15 then.
I was the oldest one there, as well.
All those kids running around, and they had fucking face paint out.
- [laughs] - Like, come on.
[sighs]
Then, obviously, they move you over to England.
Yeah.
But you're here now.
Yeah.
Ah, fucking hell, Mase. I've missed you, man.
I thought about you all the time, you know.
[chuckles]
- You know, how you've been and, you know-- - [groans] No, not there.
- Sorry. - Yeah.
[Sam] Ah, Jesus Christ.
[Mason] I know, I know.
- Bet they really went to town on you? - Yeah.
It won't stop, either.
Messages and threats.
Just ignore them, all right?
And turn the location off on your phone.
You're safe here. I swear.
[gentle solemn music plays]
Sam, what is this place?
[geese honk]
Just remember to be quiet, okay?
[softly] We're good.
- Just head up to the back of the garden. - Okay.
[Mrs. Phillips sniffs] What time did you get in?
Five. Half five.
Well, she's at peace now.
Adam couldn't do it.
Couldn't sit with her in the darkest valley.
And you know why, don't you?
'Cause it shouldn't have been him. It should have been…
Seventeen years.
Seventeen years next month since we cast him out.
Our Matthew.
- Our "gift of God." - I know why we called him that.
I thought he'd see the light, I thought he'd come back--
No, no.
You can't-- You can't do this to me.
Expect me to listen to you when I'm not allowed to breathe his name?
No.
Coward's all you are.
Numbing yourself in the bottle.
I have to live with the pain.
[chickens cluck]
[Rosie] Grace, this is Mason.
Sam's brother.
He's just here for a wash.
I only have a bucket.
Mr. Phillips is waiting for us at the mill.
Architects are here today.
[doorbell rings]
[tense droning music plays]
[door opens]
[Rosie] Isaac, you can't be here.
[Isaac] I've been trying Adam, he won't speak to me.
Look, that man he hired at the sawmill, he's dangerous.
I'm begging you, don't let him near you or the kids.
Hey, Adam. Just listen. That man, you don't know who he is.
I know exactly who he is.
- Yeah? - And he's gone.
He's on the run.
- What do you-- - I don't know where. Don't ask.
- You need to leave. - Just let me explain.
- You need to leave my property. Leave! - Adam!
You are disavowed!
Corinthians, Chapter 5.
"Cast out the sinners from among you."
[sweeping dramatic music plays]
[Sam] Rosie.
Are you okay?
What did you do?
What? You know what I did.
No. You said it was just a fight over a girl.
What did you really do?
Isaac told me that you were dangerous.
That I shouldn't let you near me. Why would he say that?
- Rosie-- - [Adam] Ready.
Time to go.
- Rosie, I-- - [Adam] Sam!
[footsteps recede]
[truck engine starts]
- I'll see you after work, all right? - Yeah.
Uh… Actually, Mase.
Uh, I need your help.
Keep an eye out for me.
- On what? - Everything.
My eyes and ears, okay?
Yeah.

[bittersweet music plays]
[door opens]
What are you doing with my stuff?
Who did that to you?
- Was it Sam? - 'Course not.
My brother loves me. [scoffs] He'd do anything to defend me.
So who's looking for you?
[tense music plays]
You.
Your brother.
People are looking for you both. Why?
No, they're-- they're-- they're not.
The police are looking for Sam.
They were here yesterday.
I saw a message on your phone. A threat.
[sighs] No. No.
[Mason's breath trembles]
Mason, is this about the girl?
What?
Sorry. I don't mean to pry.
It's just, everyone's saying a lot of things about Sam.
And I've only known him a short while, but he's been really kind.
And he is.
He is kind.
Trying to make him out to be some sort of a monster.
That girl and everything.
It wasn't even his fault, you know.
She was the one trying to leave him.
[music intensifies]
Why don't you get dry?
I'll put the kettle on.
[music turns suspenseful]
- [Isaac] Anything you say, boss. - [Charley] Boss? [laughs]
[cell phone rings]
Hello, Elite Garden Sheds.
[Rosie] Isaac.
That man, Sam Carter, he's still here.
What? Rosie, Adam said he'd left.
- No, he lied. - Rosie?
Please. Please, I need to know what you know about him.
He's not Sam Carter. His name's Sam Devlin.
He's dangerous, Rosie. Please, get away from him.
- [clattering] - Rosie, are you listening?
- [Mason] What's that you're drawing? - Rosie?
I can't really talk.
Where are you?
I'm at work with Charley.
Meet me at the playground. Isaac, be quick.
[phone clatters softly on base]
Grace wants you to put this on the fridge.
Grace? Get your coat.
We're going to see your gran.
[Adam] This is very exciting.
And this? This, what you've done is so impressive.
And we, of course, the-- the Harrisons,
we'll be providing all of the prefabricated elements.
Eh, you've found your voice now, have you?
- Please, Mr. Phillips. - Eh?
And what does that mean in terms of lead time?
Lead? You're asking the wrong fella, love.
Sam, phone call for you. It's a Mason.
Thanks.
Shouldn't be more than three or four weeks, once--
Perfect. Let me show you… [continues indistinctly]
[Adam] Yes. Yeah, exactly.
Mason. What is it?
[Adam] So, we checked our stocks, and we're actually…
[Sam] Where?
Where's she meeting him?
[phone clatters on base]
[woman] Have you had any more thoughts about rainwater harvesting?
"Do any of the worthless idols bring rain?"
"Do the heavens alone bring down showers?"
- Eh? - Jeremiah.
- [woman] Mm-hmm. - Oh!
Why don't I give Mr. Phillips a lift home, huh?
- I'll take him home. Don't worry. - Thank you.
[mocking] "Thank you."
- [laughs] - It's all right.
[Mr. Phillips laughs loudly]
[Sam] Come on, Mr. Phillips.
[laughs]
[footsteps approach]
[music turns serene and fades]
There, you see?
Mrs. Dawson has finished with her old, worn-out body.
But God hasn't finished with her soul.
- So will you take us to the park? - I can't.
I can't just drop everything.
I've got Bible club.
