Luna.

Come on, son.

It's okay.

My son has felt the call of sin.

You see what that gets you?

But the good Lord calls upon us to be fishers of men who sin.

And shows him the way.

I want you to swear to me, and before this congregation,

to leave those sinning ways where they lie.

I want you to promise, right now.

Drop the guitar, Sammy.

In the name of God!

Let it go, Sammy.

The more time I spend with y'all, the less sure I am you boys are serious about it.

Ain't no boys here.

We grow me in money and grow me in bullets.

I ain't mean nothing by it.

Just the way we talk down here.

We'll take it.

The mill, the equipment and the land that it's standing on.

Damn.

Now understand, it's the last diamond we ever gonna see from us.

And if we see you or any one of your clan buddies cross our property line,

we gonna kill them right where they stand.

Clan don't exist no more?

Okay then.

Say, what do you fellas plan on doing with the place?

Morning, Pop.

You know a part for early, son.

Like you say, jump on the work.

Don't let the work jump on you.

Finish my quota for the day.

Yeah, I brought it in here.

I want you to help me give my sermon tomorrow.

First Corinthians 10.13.

Read.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.

God is faithful.

He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

But when you're tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Now Pop, if you don't mind, I'm gonna be late.

Late for what, boy?

Where you gotta be that's more important than being in the house of God?

I've been working all week, Pop.

I'm gonna be free of all this for a day.

I'll be back in town for service in a moment.

Son?

You keep dancing with the devil.

One day he's gonna follow you home.

Little cousin, come on out.

Got two dollars waiting on the dime.

What about them little ones?

Only when they deserve it.

My ma usually hands out the workings.

But Uncle Jack always been good.

So tell me about Chicago.

Black man can go where he wants.

Boy, you can't be believing anything that you hear.

Time to fill your head up with this maple leaf.

Me and your cousin, we gonna give it to you straight.

Chicago ain't shit but Mississippi with tall buildings instead of plantation.

That's why we came back here.

Figure we might as well deal with the devil we know.

Well, who gonna watch the truck when I'm in there talking to the chiles?

Just let them see it's you.

We been gone a long time, stack.

Seven years ain't long enough to forget about us.

Don't move.

How about you leave that truck to us?

I ain't never heard of your juke.

I've been in business every Saturday night for the last ten years.

Mess is gonna be there another ten years after that, at least.

Shit.

There's probably more time than I got left on this horse stack.

I play and I get as much corn, liquor as I can drink.

Sending like me, I can't ask for more than that.

No little slam I'll drink today.

What you got there boy?

Oh this?

It's an Irish beer.

Straight from the north side of Chicago.

You say that's beer?

When they bring it down here, it's empty handed.

I got five hundred more bottles, just like that.

Ice cold.

These two gonna be playing down at the y 'all sawmill.

You know the one.

The one on the riverbank right outside Clarksdale.

Yeah, yeah.

We gonna have us battling blues.

Hey, hey, hey.

She's a white woman staring at you.

You sure she white?

She walking over here right now.

Excuse me boy.

Just hear smoke.

Or is this stack?

Don't, don't look at her.

Just go over there and keep playing.

Yeah, it's okay.

You know I waited for you.

Well, I don't know why in the hell you gonna do that.

Because you told me you loved me.

Well, I told you to stay the fuck away from

me too, but I guess you didn't hear that part.

I heard you.

I heard you loud and clear, but then you stuck your tongue in

my coos and fucked me so hard, I figured you changed your mind.

Keep your voice down now, Mary.

It's not exactly how I remember it.

Oh, it ain't.

Remember falling asleep with your head on my chest?

Leaving in the middle of the night without a fucking word?

Or a note?

The hell are you doing back here?

I buried my mama yesterday, stack.

Figured I might see you in smoke there as much as she looked after you both.

But I guess y'all love lasted as long as y 'all could get something out of her.

You right.

That's all she was.

Fool.

Or on bed.

Right in hell, stack.

Shit, I will.

Save your trifling ass a room.

Right next to me.

Shit.

Hey, stack.

What?

Maybe she ain't one.

Boys get to getting.

Come on, slam.

They take us to this big house full of white folks.

Pass around, they having to have us to play.

See these white folks we was playing for?

They ain't real money.

How y'all playing them old ragtime songs?

Y'all sure was.

They playing a fair amount of blues, too.

Them peck of wood was nodding their heads, stomping their feet.

Some of them was almost on the rhythm, stack.

And the rest of me, we changed it up and confused them.

See, white folks say they like the blues just fine.

They just don't like the people who make it.

What y'all do with the money?

I drank it.

Rice, say he was gonna take that money, go on

out to Little Rock and start him a little church.

Did he?

That's a damn fool.

He took out all his money to pay for it.

Two dollar train ticket.

Train conductor saw him.

Clank, got a hold to him.

Searched his pockets to find all that money.

Made up a story about him.

Killing some white man for it and raping that white man's wife.

And they lynched him right there in the railroad station.

You know they cut off the man a little.

Papa's here.

Papa's here.

How you been?

No miseries worth complaining about.

You come alone?

Yeah, stack on the other side of town.

What you come back for?

We bought that old salt mill.

Yeah, we gonna patch it up.

Make it into a juke joint.

Juke joint?

This one of the stacks I did?

Yeah, you figure tonight gonna be grand opening?

We got word they gonna make booze legal again.

Figure this our last chance to go legit.

I thought y'all was done with the delta.

Last I heard y'all were northern men.

Nah, we through with Chicago.

Chicago through with y'all?

What you asking?

Who you and Stack Rob to get enough money for them crackers to sell you a whole mill.

Just this Miss Annie.

And a pinch of high John.

Alright.

Now, don't sell none of this on the way home.

I don't want your mama coming at me crazy later.

Yes ma'am.

Thank you.

I can't believe you taking this make believe shit.

Smoke give me my money or I'll cut your black ass.

Put that blade up woman.

I'll trade you.

I don't want your money.

Don't be stupid now.

I ain't stupid.

Your money come with blood.

All money come with blood baby.

Not like yours.

This shit won't even spin no where else.

I ain't going no where else.

I don't need that cursed money you got.

Chips.

Train.

I seen men die ways I didn't even know was possible.

I ain't never saw no roots.

No demons.

No ghosts.

No magic.

Just power.

And only money can get it.

You fool.

All that war and whatever the hells you been doing in Chicago.

And you back here in front of me.

Two arms, two legs, two eyes and a brain that work.

How you know I ain't pray.

I work every root my grandmama taught me to

keep you and that crazy brother of yours safe.

Every day since you been gone.

So why those roots ain't work on our baby?

I don't know.

But they work for you.

You still got that mojo bag.

See you.

Why you here Smoke?

We was hoping to serve food to Juke tonight.

We want you to cook for us.

Elijah.

You won't make me say it.

It still hurts coming back here.

And I miss you.

Stat?

For a long time no see.

This here my wife, Therese.

Nice to meet you Therese.

Likewise.

Need you to give us a moment.

Men got business to discuss.

No, I ain't got time for your scheming Stat.

Behind on my quota.

Man, fuck your quota.

This is my wife right here now.

I need you to show some respect.

Well, fuck your wife too.

What's that?

I said she was really going to let you fuck her when she finds out how much money

you about to get from this job I'm offering.

And none of that nice and slow shit she's probably giving you now.

Shit, she might even let you put your pecker in her mouth.

Well, you should have stayed gone because I'm about to beat that black up for yours.

Come on.

Well, how much money are you talking about paying him?

Oh, that's a good woman.

Come on.

Leave me back.

My uncle taught the word.

He used to tell me, boy, you swimming in a sea of temptation.

But he don't know.

Same spirit flow through his church pole.

It's flowing through us, but it's your blues.

It'll flow in a different way.

More honestly, ask me.

The blues wouldn't force on us like that religion.

No, sir.

We brought this with us from home.

From the delta?

Africa, preach it, boy.

Motherland.

The magic will be due.

The sacred...

will be.

By then, you gonna be ready?

I'm always ready to swim.

Y'all, y'all gotta help.

I thought I could trust them, but they trying to kill me.

Slow down.

Who's trying to kill you?

Choctaw.

Sure wasn't just some fair skinned niggas.

Ain't no engines around here for miles.

Oh, God.

They took my wife.

Oh, God.

I'm a coward, ain't I?

Hey, I got gold.

Them dirty engines meant to rob me.

They ain't get all of it, y'all can have it.

Just don't let them hurt me no more.

Come on.

God bless you.

Put him in the nursery.

God bless you, man.

Ah!

Evening, ma'am.

We're in pursuit of someone.

Very dangerous.

He might have come onto your property.

Have you seen anyone recently?

No.

Bert!

Is he in there with you, ma'am?

He's not what he seems.

God forbid you let him into your home.

And if so, we need to act.

Do it now.

Engines came and went.

Bert?

Bert?

He's just resting.

Don't cry.

He's all better now.

Hey, baby.

Right this way, babies.

This ain't Chicago smoke.

The fuck that mean?

That old nigga work his ass off for them wooden nickels.

See, these niggas been working in the field all day.

When they show up here, let them enjoy themselves.

You gotta feel wanted if you want to see the work.

This place supposed to feel like it's for them.

Right this way.

Uh-huh.

Uh... Excuse me, ma'am.

You show you at the right place?

That's a damn good question, cornbread.

Little Mary?

Not so little no more, huh?

Little Mary.

When you was selling ass out in Little Rock, you

ever let John pay with a goddamn promissory note?

Hell no.

But see, I wasn't selling ass in the Delta.

You gonna play?

You gonna show him?

We'll see where the night takes us.

Your husband coming?

He's older.

Hold on.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I don't think you should be here, you see.

I'm with the twins.

With the twins?

Boy, if you don't get the fuck out my face.

I am with them, ma'am.

We met earlier at the train station.

I'm their little cousin.

Little cousin?

I think you should leave before they see you.

Wait, you now, little Sammy.

The guitar.

You old enough to drink now.

Come on, let me buy you a drink.

I don't know who do.

And I can't talk slick, but I know business.

And this is bad for business.

It's opening night.

Besides, gonna be a few of them like this.

I need a goddamn cigarette.

Coming right up.

Saw you play that guitar that left you.

Yeah.

That's good.

You making any money with that thing?

Not really.

Not yet.

At least.

I tell you, it didn't matter as long as you love it.

But that'll be horseshit advice.

What are you?

What am I?

I'm a human being.

That ain't what I meant.

More like... I know what you meant.

My momma's daddy was half black.

He raised her to keep the clan from killing her.

You know my momma delivered the twins.

Really?

Saved Stag life after he got stuck in them all.

And after she died, my momma nursed them like they was her own.

And they had enough money to buy this whole mill.

And they ain't even send flowers to a funeral.

You sent your momma flowers?

Plenty of them.

All while she still a lot of smell.

Smell?

Marry?

Let's go check in on Slim.

See if he don't need backup.

Take care of her, I'll wait.

No, no, I'm gonna handle it.

I got it.

Alright, go on.

Come on, let's go.

I'm not here for you.

Then why are you here then?

I come to hear the blues.

No, no, they play the blues just fine in Arkansas.

Come on.

Hold her in, let's get out of the car.

Put your clothes off.

What's going on?

How much did it get you to get the fuck on?

You can't pay me off.

Fine.

I'll pay one of these field bitches in here to drag your ass out.

Oh shit, you taught me how to fight.

I beat up every bitch in here and you know it.

I taught you how to walk away when the money is up too.

Got you a rich white husband.

Got you a farm, now go home to it.

I ain't asked for none of that.

Oh, that should be your idea.

I ain't want no white man.

I didn't want to be white, I wanted to be with you.

You know I ain't shit.

Maybe I ain't shit neither.

All it take is the wrong person in here to see you, or

get back to them crackers and they gonna try to kill you.

What would have matter to you?

Somebody out there hurt you.

It ain't my brother gonna come kill the mob.

I was young enough to believe you were coming back.

I waited.

I waited a long time.

But I'm grown now, Stac.

And I know you never planned to stay.

Why can't you just say that?

Say what?

Hmm?

That I love you.

That I think about you every day.

I just want to keep you someplace safe.

And I was never gonna be here.

Move out of there.

See y'all.

Hey.

I've been hearing about this one particular young man all day.

He supposed to be a bad blues man.

Where you boy?

Where you at?

Come over here, man.

That's my little cousin, y'all.

Watch this.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

Tell me where you are.

Where you from?

Don't tell me more.

I'm a sharecropper from Sunflower Plantation.

They call me preacher boy, counting my daddy being a pastor.

I wrote this song for him.

Something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time.

It might hurt you, hope you don't lose your mind.

Well, I was just a boy about eight years old.

You threw me a Bible on that Mississippi road.

See, I love you Papa.

You did all you could do.

They say the truth hurts.

So I lied to you.

Yes, I lied to you.

I loved you.

Somebody take me in your arms tonight.

Somebody take me.

in your arms tonight.

The sacred has been.

They got us trapped here, preacher boy.

With this here music, we escape.

We're backwards to ancestors.

Somebody take me in your arms tonight.

Somebody take me Somebody take me in your arms tonight.

Now it's stop time.

Stand it all, when I'm out here doing it.

You didn't preach at all.

See, I'm full of the blues, holy water too.

I know the truth hurts, so I lied to you.

So preachers, speak your words.

I know the truth hurts, yes, I lied to you.

But with this here ritual, we bring them all right here with us right now.

We heal our people, and we be free.

We heal our.

people, and we be free.

Hold.

Get the twins.

Come on, get them.

And?

What's the count?

Now that top figure, that's plantation money.

That bottom figure, that's real dollars.

So what's the projection?

Two months, and we had our first cash.

They start yelling, right?

Oh, and you.

Y'all have a nice night.

They gave me the willies.

Man, we'll crack us at night time.

I'll do that to you.

I want just that.

What if Hogwarts set us up?

I knew we should have killed that clan motherfucker.

Mr. Sammy, can you just give us a little space, just a little bit, please?

Thank you.

Now, slow down, Smoke.

I don't think they got nothing to do with each other.

You think they ball company?

I doubt it.

But we got enough people on us if they did.

Shit, we forgot the trunk.

Man, why ain't you remind me?

Before I told you to remind me.

Y'all don't need the trunk.

There was just three of them.

Now, listen to me.

What if they just came to say?

And what if somebody spilled something on them?

Step on their shoe.

I got a few of them.

Yeah, I can't thank you enough for this.

I mean, y'all the ones who put that guitar in my hand.

Now, this.

You got the talent, that's for certain.

With all this, ain't no life for nobody.

I know plenty of musicians.

I ain't never met a happier one.

Yeah, it's cute now.

But he get old.

That rambling.

Say, man, you got something else in you.

What's today's shuttle do?

I'm heading off on my own.

Where you going?

Maybe Chicago.

You heard of Mount Bayou?

What?

Right here in Mississippi.

Small town.

Founded by free slaves.

No crown and everything.

Black home.

That sound like a crop.

Yeah, well, I seen it.

One day, our daddy beat Stack real bad.

So we get it in our minds.

It's time for us to run away.

See, me, I wanted to go to the next plantation over.

But Stack, he figured we'd get them.

Got us a map.

Stole us a car.

And I got us there.

Why y'all ain't stay?

The man.

He didn't want us.

Same, we was kids.

See, the thing is... That man knew who our daddy was.

Knew he was an evil man.

Figured it was no way that he ain't pass that evil down to us.

See what I'm getting at?

Your daddy a preacher.

You can go and do that.

You like making music?

Make church music.

You want to leave?

Go on down Mount Bayou.

Live with the proper black folks.

Leave all this here and proper shit to us.

I can't do that.

I mean, being with y'all today...

Smoke, I feel like I'm flying.

Yeah?

Well, you better enjoy the rest of the night, cause this your last juke.

Come tomorrow, I'll find out about you planning one of these.

Boy, I'll kill you myself.

If I ain't going to Mount Bayou.

My daddy a reverend.

But I'm y'all cousin too.

And a lot more people know the smokestack twins than they know my daddy.

Look, I'm leaving that plantation just like y'all did.

And if that's a problem for you... Kill me now.

OneXVet has a huge choice of casino games.

OneXVet sucks the weak tree.

What's wrong?

We in the packed house.

But we underwater.

All the plantations down there paying with credits.

All the plantations?

Yeah, seem that way.

What about them crackers?

What about them?

I can go feel them out before they're too far gone.

I can feel them out myself.

They'll tell me more than they'll tell you.

I can find out what they really have.

And what happens if they from Little Rock?

They ain't.

Let me go get this money for us.

I know y'all need it.

And what's that supposed to mean?

Irish beer, Italian wine.

You rob both sides.

Let them blame each other while you and Smoke come down here and set up shop.

You gonna need every dime you can get when they put two and two together.

But they won't.

They might.

Let me go talk to them and see about putting something real on the two.

You looking for some fresh air?

I just came to see if y'all were good people.

Oh, darling, that's so sweet of you.

So sweet.

We most surely are.

And y'all got money to spend?

Oh, yeah.

Plenty money.

You want to see?

Yeah, I want to see.

What type of money is this?

Solid gold, kind darling.

Yeah.

Where's this from?

It's from a different place and a different time.

It spends just the same.

You can have it.

But it's no good to you.

It's no good to her.

Well, what makes you say that?

Because you're in some deep, deep pain that money can't fix.

Am I right?

You came over here for fellowship and love.

Fellowship and love.

My mother...

She just passed.

Oh, that's awful.

Ah, it's awful.

Just awful.

Losing a mother is a hurting feeling.

Mm-hmm.

I wish in my heart that we'd have met sooner.

I would have liked to have saved her mother from her fate.

I can still save you from yours.

Oh, now you must have me confused.

I'm sad, is all, but I don't need no saving.

Yes.

Yes, you do.

You all do.

I'm gonna head back now.

And I think y'all should, too.

Back to wherever y'all came from.

Mm-hmm.

Until the sun does rise.

Leave the day by.

the sun.

Don't shine once more.

That's what I say.

Come on, Brad.

Man, what you done out there?

You gonna let me in?

Or just sit there, blocking the door?

No, come on.

Come on in.

I'm gonna spend my money on something sweet and strong.

Gonna move my body through the whole night long.

Man, it's hot in there, boy.

Hey, watch the door for me.

I got the pill.

Hold on, hold on.

Boy, you ain't shit.

Oh, watch the door.

Elias.

So what happened?

Hell yeah.

What, they want a drink for this or something?

You sure?

Okay.

Go out there and tell them to do something.

I'm scared.

You scared?

Nah.

It's just that you somebody else's.

Hmm.

So you rob chains and banks.

But you can't steal this pussy from me.

What the hell going on?

This son of a bitch had loaded dies from wearing outside.

Best you put that blade down.

Can't do that to him.

Told him not to put his hands on me.

So you gonna cut me, too?

If I had to, I just want to be allowed to leave.

Go check his pockets.

It's a dirty ass thing.

Easy, boy.

Hey, son, don't shine once more.

That's what I said.

Don't let it shine.

Don't let it shine.

Don't let it shine.

Oh yeah, he in the back.

Stagg, you can go quick.

Hey, Stagg, Smoke looking for you.

Oh, shit.

Oh, he busy, huh?

You go get him?

No.

Then why the hell not?

He was getting some lucky.

I don't give a fuck what he doing.

I told you to go get him, didn't I?

I ain't doing that by myself.

Shit.

Hey, where the hell is Cormbray?

The crowd is building you a new outhouse.

The nigga left to take a piss two damn days ago.

And he left you to watch the door.

You think I can't handle it?

Y'all get decent, I'm coming in.

Y'all can hear playing around some...

Fuck.

Smoke.

That's not what it looks like.

Oh,

You know I'm the real fun of that.

What happened?

What happened?

What did she...

Did she hurt me?

I'm so scared.

I want you.

I'm so sorry.

Slim.

Keep everybody out.

Hey, Slim, who the fuck is shooting, man?

Y'all gonna bring the music back?

What the hell with the music, Slim?

Is Sammy in there?

Yeah, yeah, Sammy out the records.

Park's over, y'all.

Y'all got to go.

All right, all right, you're the man.

Go on, go on, go on.

Thank you for coming.

We really appreciate y'all.

It's getting good, too.

See you soon.

We got us a problem, y'all.

How could it stop the... Don't do that.

I thought that it was making love.

Sammy, this is not your fault.

It's not really that...

Did she say anything?

She said we gonna kill all of you.

We?

She said we?

Smoke.

We got to move his body.

Outside, just for now.

Don't touch him.

Nobody move him.

You shot her.

And she kept running like nothing happened.

This ain't we dealing with.

Smoke.

Or worse, we got to keep everybody inside.

And the dead body out.

There ain't no dead body.

You stay... Don't do this.

Don't know all that magic.

You got any magic to bring my brother back?

Got a module back for him.

Please.

I can't... I'm sorry.

They don't... ain't gone.

We got to go.

We got to get out of here.

We came here to help him with the party, not this.

We got to go home, okay?

Lisa's waiting.

Okay, let's go home.

Who get the car?

I'll get the car.

Watch over him.

Where the hell you been at, man?

Huh?

To go see a man about a dog, like I told you.

You're drunk.

Turns out I need to take a shit, too.

God dog!

What happened to you, Smoke?

Stacked dead.

Nigga, what the fuck happened to you?

I'm sorry.

All right, well, let me in so I can help.

Hold on.

What y'all doing?

Just step aside and let me on in now.

Why you need him to do that?

You being strong enough to push past us?

Well, that wouldn't be too polite, now, would it, Miss Annie?

I don't know why I'm talking to you anyway.

Probably your fish sandwich messed up my guts in the first place.

Using old stale grease.

I ain't never used stale grease, and you know it.

Shut up, Annie.

Don't talk to him.

You talking to me right now.

Why you can't just walk your big ass up in here without an invite, huh?

Go ahead.

Admit to it.

Admit to what?

That you dead.

That one of them white folks out there kill you and you a-hate now.

So, you listening to this?

Woman, this man showed me kindness.

Employed me.

Grabbed me out the field.

Now, he say his brother been killed.

The man needs comfort.

Now, you filling up his mind, that old Louisiana by you bullshit you on.

Now, we out here playing games telling ghost

stories in place of doing what we ought to do.

Conrad.

Yeah.

At what is it we supposed to be doing?

Being kind to one another.

And being polite.

Now, we is one people.

And we shouldn't go in barging into other folks' places uninvited.

Why so?

Been in and out of here all day.

Ain't never need to invite them.

Yeah.

Something ain't adding up.

Shit, stack was my ride up here.

I'm supposed to walk back?

That ain't my problem.

Well, it be your own people's.

Now, I thought you was better than that.

But you just like the white man.

Can I at least get my money?

Oh, you did such a bang up job.

Now, you want to get paid for what you ain't did?

Ain't nobody talking to you, you old drunk.

Shut your mouth or you shut the fuck up.

Don't give me shit, Smoke.

Don't give me nothing.

Careful.

What the hell was that?

I don't know.

Hey, hey.

You smell anything?

No.

I think I shat myself.

Oh, my God.

How the hell you get up?

I don't know.

What you thinkin' is here?

I don't know.

Is something in there?

Shit.

Smoke.

Smoke.

Steve.

Is that you?

Nah, fool.

It's Jim Crow.

Of course it's me.

Open the door.

Huh.

Steve.

How you feelin'?

Well, you lost a lot of blood.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

It was scary, huh?

I'm doing much better now.

I swear.

On Mama Graves.

I thought you said he was dead.

He was.

I checked his pulse.

Then what the fuck is he doing talking to us?

This is good, right?

It means he's okay.

Smoke.

That ain't your brother.

You gonna let her get in between us again?

What we been through.

German trenches, nigga.

Chicago gangways.

Come on, man.

Open the door.

It's me.

Y'all think you're sweet locking a pimp in the closet, huh?

You know I don't like this shit, man.

Please, Smoke, let me out of this room.

Smoke, please.

Hey, give me the key.

It's not...

Sam, come here.

What was in the jar?

Pickled garlic.

These ain't hates.

They're vampires.

Bo's out there.

We gotta go get him.

I'm the one who sent him out there.

He can't let you do that.

He needs my help.

Don't know how to handle himself.

Probably got in that car and got some play safe.

Y'all ain't gonna keep me from my husband.

Grace, we trying to keep you alive right now.

We just gotta hold up till sunrise.

Okay?

Now we need... garlic.

Wood.

Silver.

Holy water.

Wait.

How could it move and sound like static?

If it ain't static.

I only ever heard stories.

I ain't never come across them myself.

What stories you heard?

How Hanes worked.

They switched places with the soul of a man.

The vampires is different.

Maybe the worst kind.

The soul gets stuck in the body.

Can't rejoin the ancestors.

Cursed to live here with all this hate.

Can't even feel the warmth of a sunrise.

Okay then.

Can we bring him back?

The best thing we can do for him is free his spirit from this curse.

How the hell do we do that?

Sunlight.

I wouldn't stake that hard.

Hell, Annie.

I kept that boy safe all these years.

All over this world.

What a night.

It's cause of me.

My daddy told me.

He said the devil was coming on the count of my music.

You know how that gal once was a vampire?

He was light-skinned too.

That gal bit me everywhere above my neck.

Sammy.

You don't worry about a thing.

The devil done came for me plenty of times.

If he come knocking tonight he gonna have to go

through his old friend Delta Slam before he get to you.

I'd go for everybody in here.

If I get bit by one of them promise me right now that you'll free me before I turn.

What you mean free you?

I got somebody on the other side waiting for me.

They waiting on you too.

You understand?

Look at me.

I don't care about what that shit say.

I'm gonna make sure you get a home safe.

Sammy!

Smoke!

Shit.

Who did this?

Was it Stag or Mary?

No.

They ran straight out.

You saw them.

Who bit him then?

We gotta get him out before he wakes up.

You don't hear that?

They playing music.

For to banish ghosts and goblins.

A brand new pair of brogues.

To rattle over the box.

And frighten all the dogs.

Let's get back inside.

Come on.

One, two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four, five.

Well in the merry month of May.

From me home I started.

Left the girls of Tune.

Were nearly broken hearted.

Saluted father dear.

Kissed me darling.

Other drank a pint of beer.

My grief and tears to smother.

Then off to reap the corn.

Leave where I was born.

Cut a stout black dawn to banish ghosts.

And goblins brand new pair of brogues.

Rattling over the box.

And frighten all the dogs.

On the rocky road.

To double it one, two, three, four, five.

We all gonna.

I much like the taste of it.

Ain't no one saying you gotta like it.

We just gotta figure out if any of us left.

With one of them.

You gonna get none of the pickled ones?

This is ridiculous.

Smoke, put the gun down.

Shut up.

Beep or I'll shoot.

Put the gun down.

Smoke, she ain't no damn vampire.

How the hell you know that?

Just eat the damn garlic, girl.

Smoke!

Trying to keep you alive, boy.

You ain't the question, Lee.

Are you Eve or May?

No wonder the devil come for us.

You ain't got to point no gun at me.

Slim, what's going on, May?

Talk to me, Slim.

Hey, smoke, let me in, man.

Smoke, smoke, let me in.

You're just a little hungry, that's all.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on and go.

We got the car warmed up.

Or...

You let me back in there.

I don't come in and we can grab our things and head home.

Don't listen to him.

Grace, we're gonna find a way out of this, I promise.

I am your way out.

This world already left you for dead.

Won't let you build.

Won't let you fellowship.

We will do just that.

Together.

Forever.

It's better this way, baby.

So why don't you go ahead and invite us in.

You should listen to him, Grace.

Or listen to me.

Because I know everything he knows now.

And I want you to let us in there.

Or we're gonna go to the grocery store.

We're gonna pay little Lisa a visit.

No, no, don't you fucking dare!

I know everything now.

I know everything.

You don't have to go whenever you want to go.

I will silvery you.

I will make you This can't be real.

You're the devil.

Sammy!

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy.

Travelin'.

I don't know Where in the world ive been?

Y'all give them to me now.

Just give me a little Sammy.

We'll let y'all live.

I want to tell you something.

You can't have him.

He belongs to us.

He belongs with us.

You can't have him.

And I ain't gonna let that happen.

You can't save him.

Smoke no more than you could save your brother.

You ain't safe here.

No matter how many guns or how much money.

They gonna take it from you when they want.

You built something here tonight and it was beautiful.

But it was built on a lie.

Hogwood.

He's the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.

That's his motherfucking nephew.

They was always gonna kill you.

I just happened to show up at the right place at the right time.

He telling the truth, Swamp.

I can see his memories.

This wasn't no juke drawing.

No club.

This here is a slaughterhouse.

It's a goddamn killing floor.

Why can't y'all just go?

We're not leaving without y'all.

We're family.

Ain't that right?

I know it sounds crazy, but after we kill y'all...

we gonna have heaven right here on earth.

Hey there.

Come on.

Welcome.

Come on.

Smoke, that ain't your brother.

Fuck you, nigga, it is me.

Elias Small.

And I'm talking to my big brother right now, Slam.

So I'm gonna kindly ask you to shut the fuck up.

We was never gonna be free.

We been running around everywhere looking for freedom.

You know, Dan Will.

He was never gonna find it.

Until this.

This is the way.

Together.

Forever.

And I ain't doing this shit without you.

There is no me without you.

What's it gonna be?

No.

No.

Close the door.

No vision.

He said he was gonna take our daughter.

You can't believe him.

He was just trying to get you to let him in.

He ain't threatening your children.

We just gotta stay through the night.

And what?

Let him kill my family?

Kill the whole town?

Turn everybody to monsters?

That white devil spoke Chinese.

He got a bow's mind.

We gotta stop him, Smoke.

We gotta get him before they get away.

Where is she?

Slow down.

Give me a second to think.

What?

Ain't you a soldier?

Didn't you just shoot two men for touching your truck?

They killed your brother.

Made stack one of them.

My bow.

Said they was gonna kill Lisa.

If now ain't go time, then I don't know what is.

We supposed to wait the night while they take more of her loved ones?

Make them demons?

They don't look like they're leaving, Grace.

Shut your drunk ass up, Slim.

I ain't drunk right now.

You need to watch your mouth, woman.

What you doing?

Stop that.

Come on.

Y'all hear that?

It's the song they were singing.

No, no, no.

Let go of me, god damn it.

We'll kill all of them.

Grace, we gotta fight.

We gotta fight.

We gotta fight.

Come on.

Come on in, you motherfucker.

You promised me.

I'll sing a song.

I love you.

Eddie!

Smoke, we gotta get the boy at the back so he's not here.

Come on, come on now.

Up the steps, go ahead.

Simon.

That's what I told you.

Go!

Now go!

Slim!

Slim!

Oh, yeah.

He's still nasty.

Hell wants some of this.

Let's call a little person.

Let's go.

Get out of here!

Sammy!

Where are you going to kill me?

I'm fucking bored with you, man.

I want your stories.

And I want your songs.

And you're gonna have mine.

My father, who which art in heaven, will be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, unforgiver us our

trespasses, and forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Long ago, the man who stole my father's land forced his words upon us.

I hated those men, but the words still bring me comfort.

Throw your hands down!

Oh, boy.

Those men lied to themselves, and lied to us.

We told stories of a god above and a devil below,

and lies of a dominion of man over beasts and earth.

Jesus.

We are earth and beast and god.

We are woman and man.

We are connected.

You and I.

To everything.

Shit!

You will taste the sweet pain of death.

We will make beautiful music together.

Ah!

Go home.

And bury that fucking guitar.

I can't.

It's Charlie Patton's.

What?

What you told you today?

What's that?

He said y'all want it over.

Lying song, bitch.

That's our daddy guitar.

Be strong, hear me?

Hear me?

I got some business to handle.

Be strong.

Jesus!

And if we see you, one of your clan buddies, cross our property line,

we gonna kill them right where they stay.

Okay then.

Club Juke, huh?

Grand opening, grand closing.

Let's do it.

Open it up.

Come on, son.

It's okay.

My son has felt the call of sin.

You see where that gets you?

Door's locked.

Try the front.

This one is too.

But the good lord calls upon us to be fishers of men who sin and show them the way.

I want you to swear to me and before this congregation, believe those sinning ways.

where they lie.

I want you to promise right now.

Drop the guitar, Satan.

In the name of God.

My prodigal son has returned.

I know some of you.

You hear the call of the devil trying to steal you away.

Speak talk advance and go swimming.

You can let them call and not answer.

You tell me.

My heart.

My body.

My voice.

You got a cigarette?

Yeah.

You go to hell, nigger.

You put that cig out, you can hold it.

I don't want any smoke to get on it.

Hey, listen.

I got money.

Huh?

No.

Paul was here.

Let it go, Satan.

Drop the guitar.

Put it down.

Hey, boss.

I got two out there.

I told them we closed but they offered a couple hundred bucks.

Is that okay with you?

That don't bother me, no.

Come on in.

I have whatever the old man had.

When I saw him kill Annie, I knew I had to get Mary out of there.

She hid in the woods.

Asked for me.

Sorry I couldn't keep you safe.

Don't be sorry.

You always do.

I guess I was the one person he just couldn't kill.

He made me promise to stay away from you.

That you live out your life.

You know, we got every single one of your records.

I don't like that electric shit as much as the real.

I miss the real.

Records from back then sound like a pile of dog shit.

How about it, Sammy?

You still got the real in you.

Traveling...

I don't know why in the.

hell...

Take care, little Sammy.

You know something?

Maybe once a week that we could paralyze.

Relive it that night.

But before the sun went down... I think that was the best day of my life.

Was it like that for you?

No doubt about it.

Last time I seen my brother.

I love you.

Last time I seen the sun.

And just for a few hours.

It was free.
