(hanging male) Abner!

I mean, Mr. Drake, please.

It was just one meat pie!

My family was hungry.

I'll pay you back!

Abner, we've known each other since high school!

Look at what you're doing!

This ain't right!

Abner, Abner!

He's right, Drake. What are we doing?

We're all hungry.

(Mr. Drake) Want me to forgive him?

You want anarchy?

Stealing, raping, killing with no consequences?

You want to live out there like they do?

Scavengers, cannibals, is that what you want?

Then pack up! Get out!

No, I didn't mean that.

I didn't think so.

We're civilized

and I maintain order...

Whatever it takes.

[maniacal laughing]

(kidnapper) Come on! Kill him already!

We're trying! This one knows how to drive!

Get your cocktails out!

[glass shattering]

Whoo!

***

(kidnapper) He ain't getting the message. Give him the good stuff!

We're supposed to save that for emergencies.

What do you think this is?!

[tires screeching]

Get him.

[gunshot]

[engine revving]

(kidnapper #2) Hey, my rifle!

Get him with the dynamite!

***

[exploding]

[exploding]

He's coming around the side! Get him with the dynamite!

Ahh!

Why, you little--!

Nooo!

Hey, she's worth a tank of gas!

Look out!

Get away from that, it's mine!

(girl) I'm thirsty.

[coughing]

Am I gonna die?

[sighing]

No choice.

***

(male emissary) Mr. Drake, the Chairman commends your efforts

out here on the border.

You run a tight ship.

I don't need his compliments. I need food, weapons.

(female emissary) The board feels your rations

are appropriate for your population and your climate.

They're a joke!

My people are starving.

Hmm, you see, some unscrupulous mayors

in these border towns hoard rations.

They keep themselves and their deputies well-fed

while the rest starve,

but I'm sure you're not one of those.

Of course not.

(male emissary) Over the next year, all citizens are to be identified,

evaluated, and issued a rank.

Believe me, Mr. Drake, there are advantages

to having a high rank.

What do you want?

(male emissary) As I said, to evaluate your usefulness to the ULC.

We've repeatedly ordered you to capture a criminal

in your territory called "the Shepherd."

You make it sound easy; it's not.

(male emissary) Regardless, this man is a high priority to the Chairman

and must be apprehended.

We will not give this order again.

Is that a threat?

(female emissary) Of course it is.

If you fail to deliver the Shepherd to us,

you will be replaced.

You have one week.

(girl) You're him, aren't you?

The one they always talk about, from up north?

They say you never lose a fight.

I wish that were true.

I'm cold.

Would you pray for me?

(rescuer) No need. I'm gonna get you patched up.

(girl) Daddy says God doesn't listen to our prayers anymore,

ever since the Day.

But maybe he hears yours?

Hello?

What do you want?

I need help. I got an injured girl here.

So?

So open the gate.

I need a doctor.

I can pay.

Show me what you got.

There's no time. She's gonna die.

Please, open the gate.

(gatekeeper) I don't like your attitude.

Come back tomorrow.

[engine starting]

Hey!

Wait, stop!

Get out of the car!

Hands up!

Okay, okay.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

He has an injured girl in there.

You're gonna keep him away just 'cause he won't pay your bribe?

(gatekeeper) Drake's gonna hear about this, Sofia.

You've been warned!

Maybe I'll tell him about that poison you call liquor

you've been making in your cellar.

My cellar would be a great place to hide your body.

He's with me.

We'll see.

Can you really pay? I stuck my neck out for you.

(rescuer) I can pay, thanks.

I'm Josh.

Whatever, follow me.

***

(Josh) Can we go any faster?

(Sofia) We don't want to attract too much attention.

Morons.

[spitting]

What's with them?

They're hungry.

Mayor keeps everyone on a tight leash around here.

But not you?

Keep your mind out of our business.

Get your woman healed and move on.

She's not my woman; she's 16.

[Sofia scoffs] Yeah, right.

(Josh) Scavs kidnapped her.

Her parents asked me to get her back.

Is that your angle? Rescuing girls?

I just try to help people where I can.

Another holy roller.

A what?

Word of advice:

Don't start preaching around here.

People don't want to hear it.

Up there.

(Josh) Stab wound, lower abdomen.

Okay, alright, step back, step back, please.

How bad is it?

Not stealing it.

Just not a good idea for folk to see this.

***

Sheriff, sheriff!

There's a problem at the gate.

Deal with it.

Show me.

You really care about her.

You're surprised?

I guess.

I mean, people who care don't normally last long out there.

And you look like you've been mobile a while.

I've been up north for a while.

Up north?

Yeah, lots of folks need help up there.

What?

There's stories from up north, legends about a man,

a roller that helps people.

Is that you?

It's everything I have. Is it enough?

(male medic) Mister, the wound is deep.

There's a lot of damage.

I don't have the skill.

You're not a doctor?

No.

Well, is there anybody else here who can help?

Not anymore.

My mom was the surgeon in the town.

Was? Where is she?

She's not here. That's all you need to know.

Is she alive?

I don't know.

(medic) Listen, we have some antibiotics, okay?

It's probably enough to keep her alive for a few days.

This will cover it.

(Josh) How many days?

Three, maybe.

After that I have to ask the mayor for more.

I can already tell you his answer.

Do it.

Where's your mother?

Oh no.

[door squeaks open]

Nice car.

My deputy says you entered the town illegally.

We take the law seriously here.

(Sofia) I let him in, Victor. He has an injured girl in there.

You shut your mouth.

Here's the way it's gonna go.

You give me your keys, then you pay a fine.

Can't pay?

You work.

Don't do this.

Keys.

***

Kill him!

[screaming in pain]

[grunting]

Give me that!

[cocks gun]

[grunting]

[gunshot]

(Mr. Drake) On your knees, or I'll kill ya.

He didn't do anything! It was my fault!

I'll deal with you later.

(Sofia) Get your hands off me!

[power tool whirring]

Whoo!

1972 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Got a nice little 383 in there, whoo!

(sheriff) That's my new baby.

You treat her right.

What are you looking at, huh?

Go ahead, give me a reason, huh?

You're gonna hang tomorrow, and I'm gonna hold the rope,

feeling the life choke out of you.

[laughing]

***

***

***

***

***

Get out.

I don't think that's a good idea.

(Mr. Drake) Let me do the thinking.

Josh McManus.

You know, we get holy rollers through here time to time.

Vigilantes, crusaders, stirring up trouble,

making a lot of noise about God and ignoring our laws.

But you get a few drinks in 'em, catch 'em behind closed doors,

you'll see the truth.

What's your point?

My point?

I think you're the real deal.

I can't help to think about all these stories I'm hearing

from up north about a rider in black,

a man of God who never loses a fight.

I was just trying to save that girl's life.

I didn't mean to cause any trouble.

You entered my town illegally, attacked my deputies.

Now I've gotta hang you.

It's the law.

But, as chance would have it, we both want the same thing:

Grace, Sofia's mother, town doctor.

You need her; so do we.

(Josh) Where is she?

(Mr. Drake) You heard of a man called the Shepherd?

(Josh) Yeah, I've heard of him. Some kind of a prophet.

He's a vagrant.

His name's George Hilcott.

Drifted through town last winter talking crazy.

One day he just wandered off.

I assumed he was dead,

then I started hearing stories of him gathering followers,

performing miracles.

Grace ran off to join him in the summer.

We sent men to find her.

Some came back empty-handed

and then some didn't come back at all.

(Josh) So you think that I can find him when your men couldn't?

(Mr. Drake) My men couldn't find hay in a haystack,

but you're an experienced rider, and you're motivated.

But there's something else.

You know who I was before this?

Nobody.

I worked at the gas station, part-time.

Didn't have any desire to be in charge of anything.

Then the Day happened.

I learned something about myself.

I wasn't gonna be a victim for anybody.

And I killed a lot of men

who thought they could steal from me, bully me.

Next thing I knew, half the town was gone,

the other half was looking to me for leadership,

so I gave it to 'em.

See, some of us still want to live the way we used to,

not just survive.

I don't have the luxury of pondering prophets or miracles,

but I ain't blind either.

I've seen things I can't explain.

This Shepherd, we've found their tracks, camps;

it's like chasing ghosts.

Some think he's a genuine holy man

and that he can only be found by a man of faith.

So you think I can find him because I believe?

You find the Shepherd, you'll find Grace,

and you'll save the girl.

Or you can do nothing,

and I'll hang you in the morning.

It's up to you.

You got lucky, rider.

Next time I'm gonna break you in half.

Well, there ya go, bud, gassed up, oiled up.

She is a beauty.

Fifty miles west of here,

we know the Shepherd has people use this corridor,

moving through, smuggling refugees, Christians

across the border to Canada.

I'll be back with the doctor.

Don't let her die.

Well, that's up to you.

[engine starting]

You sure you know what you're doing?

The perfect guy for the job

comes along at exactly the right time?

That's something I can't ignore.

You finding religion on me?

They didn't take the gas, just the meat.

[birds cawing]

Hi.

Hey!

Hey!

Josh, let me out of here!

Are you kidding me?

You see?

Sheriff, what are you doing?

Mr. Drake, why is he taking our supplies?

She's an outsider. We take care of our own first.

She's gonna die.

How's the signal?

Satellite's online, we're in business.

We got a problem. Sofia's missing.

No one can find her anywhere.

Did you have that car in your sight at all times?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, maybe not the whole time, now that I think on it.

She's gonna ruin everything.

(Sofia) Come on!

This isn't funny. Just let me out.

I'm sorry, okay?

Come on.

I know how bad this looks, but you don't understand.

You don't know what he's like.

I'm his prisoner

and so was my mom until she escaped.

Josh, I tried to leave, but they just won't let me.

You were my only out.

I'm sorry, okay?

What are you doing?

There's enough gas to get you back to town.

What?

It's 10 miles that way. Don't follow me.

Are you listening to me?!

I'm not going back there. I have to find her.

I have to find her.

Don't do this, okay? You can't trust him.

You don't know what he's like.

Josh!

Don't leave me here out on my own! Come--

Come on!

[shouting] Gah!

[female screaming in distance]

[tires screeching]

[screaming]

(female) Stay away from me!

(thug) Go on, dummy. Get around her.

Ahh! You cut me!

Don't you touch me and my baby!

[laughing maniacally]

Get back!

[whooping and hollering]

Works every time.

You really got me that time, Ellie.

Well, I had to make it look good, huh?

Didn't I, mister?

Argh! My nose!

[shouting in pain]

Dwayne!

[thump]

[birds cawing]

(lead thug) Bring him up.

(thug) Whoo-wee!

Look at these wheels, Bobby. Can I keep it?

Bobby McCallister.

What would Momma say?

Only take what we need.

But come on, can't I just drive it once?

You can drive it home.

Then we're gonna sell it to Honcho, that's it.

You understand?

She's got a fever.

She's not gonna last 3 days.

What do we do?

I don't know.

Well, we took that man's payment.

We have to do something.

What are you doing? Somebody will see it.

I don't care.

I don't care.

[birds cawing]

(harsh-sounding female) Johnny, where you going?

I'm going to town, Momma.

Gotta make a delivery.

(Momma) Where's your big brother?

He's out back with today's catch.

Ugh, I ate their meat.

Oh, great.

[blades sharpening]

Ain't you gonna scream?

Beg for your life?

Not high on my list of things to do today.

Wouldn't happen to know

where I could find the Shepherd, could you?

Don't say that name under my roof.

Bring a blight down on us.

That's what he promised,

hell and damnation if we didn't repent.

He didn't fool me.

He wasn't no prophet; he was a demon.

(Josh) So, do you know where I could find him?

Momma's been wanting to cook with some new flavors.

I keep telling her people around here ain't gonna go for it,

but that car of yours will bring ten times what your meat will.

[horn honking]

(Momma) Bobby! Someone's here!

Coming Momma.

I'm coming.

Hey.

(male) Hot Pockets, Dr. Pepper, Ben & Jerry's.

This place smells.

Almond Joy, Cool Whip.

(male #2) What?

It's gone. Ain't never gonna come back.

(male #2) These rednecks, they give me the creeps.

Why don't we just kill them and take the car?

Where I'm from, you learn straight off,

you can't make no money off of a dead man.

Hey, one of these days you're gonna tell me

where you're from, right?

Hey, it's none of your business where I'm from.

Hello gentlemen.

Josh?

Josh.

I thought I told you not to follow me.

Oh, okay, well, if you wanna be dinner, that's fine by me.

I'll just--I'll leave.

(Josh) Okay. Find the key.

Okay.

Be careful.

Great.

(Josh) Stay calm.

There's so many.

Just focus.

Well, that's easy for you to say.

(Momma) Bobby, when am I gonna get my ribs?

Soon Momma, real soon.

Argh, it's not here.

(Josh) There's gotta be another key ring.

I'll look.

[Sofia coughing]

(Josh) You still in one piece?

Barely.

(Sofia) You should've killed them. They're gonna be trouble.

Here.

You don't want it?

No.

Okay.

My car was sold to a man named Honcho.

He's the boss of the local Swap Meet.

You know him?

Yeah, I know him. Charming.

Where is he?

We're walking? That's 30 miles from here.

Looks like it.

So we're a team?

We'll see.

Which way?

That way.

Hey, Josh?

Yeah?

I think I'm done eating meat for a while.

(Josh) Yeah, me too.

(patron) Nice car, man.

Hey, back off!

Touch these wheels on my permission.

I will skin you alive and feed you to my pigs.

Back off. Back off.

(sheriff) No telling what happened here.

There was a fight, though.

Where to next?

ULC hunk of junk.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, come on back.

There we go, all friends again.

Where is he?

(mechanic) Well, he ain't at the McCallister "farm" anymore.

Huh, looks like he's way out at Honcho's place.

At the swap meet?

He's going the wrong way.

The swap meet, go.

And if Sofia's with him, just get rid of her.

Split them up.

Is that what this is about?

You think he can find the Shepherd

because he believes and she'll jinx it?

You just do what I tell you.

(sheriff) I'm telling you, I can find him.

We don't need this rider.

It's been 5 months, and you ain't found him yet.

(Momma) Johnny! Johnny, is that you?

Yes, Momma.

(Momma) We've been bushwhacked, Johnny.

Go help your brother! He's in the barn!

(Sofia) You don't talk much.

So what's your story?

I never met a rider who wasn't a total creep.

So, what is it?

Did you lose someone on the Day? Family?

Probably.

Everyone did.

My wife, my daughter.

They were saved.

I'm sorry.

But I bet that's good, right, 'cause they're in heaven?

Can you teach me to believe what you believe?

Growing up I never even went to church.

My mom just thought it was a waste of time.

We had no interest in it, so.

Joke's on us, right?

What?

What?

Come on.

(upset male) I had no choice. They were unclean, I had to.

Don't you understand?

Where are you?

I can't find you.

Please, please!

My Shepherd.

The Shepherd.

(upset male) My Shepherd.

Hey!

Stay back.

I'll cut you. I will cut you.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

That's what they all say.

I'm looking for the Shepherd too.

Do you know him?

Yeah.

I found him and I walked with him, and then one night I left.

When I tried to come back, I couldn't--

I couldn't come back.

I can't control it.

The devil-- the devil's in my brain

and I can't get him out.

I can't get him out.

He tells me to do things.

They weren't supposed to die, not like that!

He's crazy.

(Josh) Can you help me find him?

I don't think he'll let me find him.

I don't think-- oh, he won't let me find him.

Oh, it's gonna burn, it's gonna burn, it's gonna--

Listen to me.

Jesus is there for you.

He loves you.

He will forgive you.

Listen to me, it's okay.

Here, look.

You have it. You have it.

Yeah, yeah.

I will give this to you, but will you help me find him?

I will.

But how will I help you find him?

(Josh) Okay, here, here, here.

Just point out, just point out on the map.

Point out on the map where you last saw him.

Just stay calm.

This is where I lost him.

This is where you last saw him?

Yeah, right here.

I found him. I found him.

Okay, here, here.

Here you go.

Take it.

[gunshot]

(upset male) Jesus, forgive me.

Go!

[gunshot]

(Sofia) It's the McCallisters.

We should've killed them when we had the chance!

They're on the run, come on.

[gunfire]

Why did you let them live? You saw what they are.

(Dwayne) Here little friends!

I never kill a man if there's another choice.

And there almost always is.

Stay low.

Is that what it says in your book?

No, that's what I say.

What?

(Dwayne) We're friendly!

You made that rule up for yourself?

Are you kidding me?

They're trying to kill us, take it.

I don't need it.

What?

Here's the plan.

I'm gonna draw their fire.

After I leave, count to ten, then run for that house.

Don't come out 'til I come get you.

Wait, no. Josh!

One--

(Johnny) I see him. Why are you running?

Three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten.

***

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Is there anybody there?

Hello?

(Dwayne) We'll find you.

(Johnny) They came this way.

(Dwayne) I say they split up.

Both of ya, quiet. Look sharp.

I see him!

[gunfire]

Stop it!

It ain't him!

(Ellie) What's he doing?

He thinks he's smart.

Where's Johnny?

Hello?

(Bobby) Johnny! Johnny, what happened?

He got my gun.

Look!

(Dwayne) I don't like this, Bobby.

Maybe we should forget about this one.

That's what he wants,

but he's just meat like all the rest.

We're gonna find ya and your woman too!

(Josh) I had the chance to kill you and I didn't.

Walk away.

You don't scare us! You got lucky!

Not luck.

- This way! - Bobby!

[gunshots]

[gasps]

I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was here.

Oh, that's alright, dear.

It's nice to see a friendly face.

I don't usually get many visitors.

Listen, you need to go down to your cellar and hide.

Hide? What's all this about?

***

[whistle]

[gunshot]

(Sofia) There are people in the woods trying to kill us.

Can't you hear them?

Bah, I don't care about that.

Young folks always fightin'.

I just love how the trees look in the winter.

Aren't they lovely?

Come on, we need to go downstairs.

Oh, alright.

What's your name?

Beatrice.

They call me Aunt Bea,

on account I never did take a husband.

I suppose I regret never having children.

I was a midwife, you know.

I saw so many die in childbirth. I guess it put me off the idea.

The Good Lord was the only husband I ever needed.

Aunt Bea?

Oh, hello. Do I know you?

It's nice to see a friendly face.

I don't get many visitors.

How?

Why are you still here?

Didn't you hear him call?

Who?

Jesus.

I don't think so. You know, I don't know.

You don't know?

Well, you better start listening.

It's almost time.

What do you mean? Time for what?

Why, the end.

[gunshot]

[grunting]

(Sofia) Tell me, how do I hear him?

If you seek him, you'll hear him.

Jesus is the door.

If anyone enters through him, ye shall be saved.

I don't understand.

Are you simple, girl?

Don't you know your verses?

It's all in the Bible, in the Good Book.

I'm coming, Lord. I hear ya.

I do love how the woods smell in the wintertime.

Don't they look lovely?

***

Sofia? Sofia!

Josh!

[gunshots]

Sofia!

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're okay.

[Sofia crying]

[chattering]

[horn honking]

The vehicle's here.

There's no sign of the rider or Sofia.

(Honcho) What do you want?

(sheriff) The owner of this vehicle, where is he?

Well, you're lookin' at him.

Where did you get it?

The previous owner, is he still alive?

I ain't got to tell you nothin'.

Let me talk to him.

Listen, parasite, I allow your gathering in my county

because you serve a purpose.

Now serve your purpose.

You listen to me, this is the wild, alright?

This is my world.

So you hide behind your walls like the lapdog you are

'cause we are free men here.

Yeah!

Don't be stupid.

Without gasoline, you're finished.

You have nothing.

Well, then maybe I stop letting your boys come around here.

No more playtime, no more fun, aye?

I don't think you want that.

What's it worth to you?

Two barrels.

(Mr. Drake) Done.

Oh, I should've asked for more.

Okay, straight up,

I bought this car from them weird rednecks out at the farm.

That's it. Go talk to them.

Come on, let's go party.

(Honcho's crew) Yeah!

(sheriff) Where to, boss?

The farm?

No, no, he's still alive.

Those McCallisters would've gotten the better of him.

He's still alive, and he'll be coming for his car.

You still have your guy there?

Yeah, he'll do anything we want for a price.

(Mr. Drake) Okay, pull back.

We don't want a battle.

Give your guy a cell and have him watch the car.

If Sofia is with Josh, make sure she doesn't leave with him.

Kill her if you have to.

It was so quick.

I pulled the trigger, and he was dead.

Too quick.

Too easy.

When you have a gun, you don't consider other choices.

Yeah.

Is that it? Can I not, you know. go...

"Thou shall not kill," right?

Jesus is the way to heaven.

He's the only way.

Turn the other cheek.

He said that, right?

Yeah.

So what if someone's trying to kill you?

I'm still working on that.

Sometimes it seems like we have no choice,

fight or die,

but when you believe, when you truly believe

there's always a choice.

Death isn't the end.

You're not afraid to die?

No.

I know I'm going to a better place.

That shouldn't be hard.

How can God allow all this to happen?

How can he permit so much suffering?

But now we see the truth.

Now that his hand is gone, his light, his love,

we see what the world is really like without him.

Nothing to restrain the selfishness, the evil.

But if you know you're going to a good place,

then why do you still fight?

Because of you.

For everyone who's still out there, there's still a chance.

I can help them.

I can help them find the bridge.

And that's worth fighting for.

You're a good man.

I almost forgot what one looked like.

You might be the last one on Earth.

Josh?

Josh isn't here, dear.

Where is Josh?

(female medic) He's out there somewhere, trying to find help.

Keep fighting, you're gonna get through this.

I'm praying for you.

Pray for Josh.

(female medic) Josh can look after himself. Rest.

(girl) You don't understand.

He's...important.

He's going to do something.

What's he gonna do?

A man told me Josh is going to do--

I can't remember.

Maybe it was just a dream.

He showed me a hammer,

a witness, a man in white,

a moving city, a broken spear,

a golden bridge, endless fire,

a throne of light.

(Sofia) So many people deny the Day, say it didn't happen,

it was a solar flare or something.

We're not even supposed to talk about it,

especially not when those ULC creeps are around.

But I'm not stupid; I know what I saw.

I was in Denver, downtown at a music festival

and there were thousands of people in the street,

so they had to block it off.

I was on a double date with Brian, my boyfriend,

and my mom and her new friend.

I forget his name.

Then all a sudden this light filled the sky.

And at first we thought it was part of the show,

but then we knew it was something different.

It moved through you, knowing every single part of you.

Then there was this sound, like a bomb or an earthquake,

and people panicked, they went everywhere.

It was crazy.

That was the first time I had ever seen someone die,

but then I saw them.

I saw them, people glowing from within,

but they weren't afraid at all.

They vanished into a single speck of light and flew away.

What about you?

Where were you on the Day?

Small town.

I had some trouble with a biker gang,

and I killed a few of them.

(Sofia) Does a day go by when people aren't trying to kill you?

The next day I found the Lord, a little late.

Teach me, please.

I'm not the guy you want.

Maybe the Shepherd can--

But I'm asking you.

I mean, I can tell you what it says in here,

but it's up to you to believe.

So what does it say?

(Josh) Well, Jesus is speaking, here he says,

"I am the way, the truth, and the life,

no one comes to the Father but through me."

Yeah, but I don't understand.

I want you to start at the beginning.

Can you teach me everything?

Alright.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was formless and empty.

The thing to remember is that salvation can't be bought

or earned like it was some kind of a prize.

It's a relationship.

It's through faith, through devotion,

through his sacrificial blood on the cross

that opened the door to heaven for us.

But we still have to accept.

I resisted for a long time,

didn't think that he could love someone like me.

Certainly didn't think that he would die for someone

who did the things that I did.

But I was wrong.

He can and he did.

Does that make sense?

More than you know.

We're here.

Stay close.

***

[chattering]

***

They're here.

Get outta here, you roaches!

Whoa, mamma mia.

You're Drake's girl.

What are you doing off the reservation, sweetie?

Easy, she's with me.

[shouting in pain]

(male #2) Hey idiots, stop him!

You're in trouble now, bucko.

Just watch out now, huh?

***

[grunting]

(thug) My turn!

I got him!

Get him, get him, get him!

Yeah, yeah!

[grunting]

Wait, wait. I want to see this.

(thug) He's mine!

Get off!

***

(Honcho) Hey, why do you have to go bust up my party, huh?

I ought to put a bullet in you.

It's my car.

Correction, that is my car. Finders keepers, man.

You want it, you have to trade.

(Josh) It was stolen.

I don't have anything to trade.

Oh, but you do.

Oh, yes, you do.

I've had my eye on this one, yeah.

I can get a very good price for her out west

in the king's territories.

I'm not for sale.

Oh, well then we're done here.

No deal, bye bye.

Oh, unless...

Unless what?

Well, you're a good fighter

and Honcho knows how to make money.

Free men and ladies of the borderlands,

the games are about to begin!

[cheering]

Each champion will fight until only one remains.

[cheering]

A man who once killed a polar bear

with his bare hands, Mammoth!

Scourge of the Pacific Rim, Agolagontha!

Gutbuster!

The Ripper!

And finally, our newest challenger,

uh, the Black Rider!

[booing]

Alright, whatever, place your bets!

[cheering]

So, what do you think of the competition?

Can you take 'em?

Where's your accent?

Oh, that's just for show.

It's pretty good, though, right?

Yeah, I guess.

No, it's good.

See, I was the drama coach

at St. Charles Community College, yeah.

See, an accent makes me mysterious, dangerous.

Got a good feeling about you, about us working together.

Look, I just wanna get this over with and get out of here.

Where do you got to be in such a hurry?

There's a fortune to be made here.

See, I run it all.

A little girl is dying,

and you're wasting my time with games.

I'm looking for a doctor, Sofia's mother.

Grace? I thought she died.

Who told you that?

Or disappeared, I don't know.

What am I, the village gossip?

Just beat these chumps.

(male #2) Okay, no more bets.

The first fight will be

the Black Rider versus Gutbuster!

[cheering]

And...fight!

(spectator) Oh, come on! Get up!

(male #2) And your winner by knock out, the Black Rider!

***

And...fight!

And the winner is the Black Rider.

[cheering]

And the winner is the Black Rider!

***

And the winner is the Black Rider!

Black Rider!

Your new champ--

[whistle]

Wait, wait, wait.

It has been a rousing day here in the pit.

Some of you bet against Honcho's man

and now are regretting it,

but because our host is so generous,

he has scheduled one more match to determine his true champion.

A chance to win back your credit!

[cheering]

We had a deal, Honcho!

We still do.

You win the tournament, you win the car,

but the tournament's not over yet, bro.

(male #2) Free men and ladies of the borderlands,

it's the Black Rider versus the Beast!

[cheering]

Place your bets!

No more bets.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

We're done here.

(Honcho) No, no, no, we're just getting started.

Hey, get out of he car, man.

You can't go without these.

[engine starting]

[gunshots]

Hey, why are you standing around like idiots?

Go get him!

Oh hey, we got movement.

[engine revving]

Oh no, no, no, no.

(Sofia) What?

We're leaking fuel.

How far is the Shepherd's camp?

I don't know, no one knows where it is.

Here, that guy put a mark on the map.

Josh, that guy was crazy.

Just look.

It's about 20 miles from here.

We're not gonna make it.

Well, can you patch it?

There's no time.

They're coming.

[shouting] Ah!

(Sofia) You did everything you could, Josh.

More than anyone else would've.

No, I didn't.

You were right, I put limits on myself.

(Sofia) Josh, where did you get that?

Josh!

Josh, there is always a better way.

You taught me that, and it's true.

Josh, you taught me how to find peace,

to not be afraid, not even of dying.

Violence, anger, revenge, that'll lead you away from him.

You don't want to do this.

Josh, because of you I believe.

I believe Jesus died for us.

I believe he protects us, and he makes a way.

You believe that too.

Don't lose your faith.

What's going on?

Why aren't they stopping?

It's like they can't even see us.

***

Would you like to meet the Shepherd?

Yes.

Yes, please.

Follow me.

What about the car?

All will be provided for.

Don't worry.

[friendly chattering]

Sister Martha.

Eat, drink, we have plenty.

(Sofia) Mmm, where did you get these?

I thought these died out.

Hey, nice to meet you, here.

(Sofia) What's happening here?

I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

(mysterious male) Be glad.

This is as the Lord wants us to be.

So it was once, so shall it be again.

Wow, this is incredible.

How are these growing so well?

(friendly male) You're back.

Looks like you found what you were looking for.

Welcome.

I'm Raoul, I'm the mechanic around here.

He got up without saying a word

and just wandered onto the prairie.

At this point we're used to it.

He's the Shepherd.

(Raoul) That's what they say, but to us he's Brother George.

He's always where he needs to be.

I don't know how he knows, but he does.

I don't know myself.

I just have a feeling of what I'm supposed to do and I do it.

This morning I was reading and praying for guidance,

how I was going to reach the coast.

And I had this sudden urge to walk out onto the highway,

and there I found Brother Joshua and Sister Sofia.

You know our names.

You told me, didn't you?

No.

Oh, I guess I just know.

Brother Raoul,

would you please tow Brother Josh's car back to camp.

I have a feeling. Huh.

(young female) George?

George, can you help my plant?

I've tried everything.

It's dying.

Okay, come back later.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure you have many questions.

Yes, my mother, Grace. Is she here?

Grace?

There's no one here by that name.

What? Wha--no.

No, no, that's impossible.

She looks like me, she's my height.

She's in her sixties. She's a doctor.

I know all of my people.

She's not here.

What is this?

What do you want? To get paid?

She's here. We were told she's here.

We need her. A girl's life is at stake.

I'm sorry.

Someone told you she was here?

Who was it?

Was this person trustworthy?

I don't believe it.

I don't understand.

Why would he lie about this?

If she's not here, then where is she?

J--Josh!

Josh, look, look!

What?

That's impossible.

How did-- how did you do that?

How did you do that?

I really don't know.

I pray for sick things to heal and they do.

I pray for small things to grow and they do.

I pray for evil to stay away and it does.

Can you do that for a person?

Yes.

(Josh) There's a girl who's dying in town.

Can you help us?

(The Shepherd) I figured there was a reason God brought us together.

You need something from me, and I need something from you.

What do you need?

(The Shepherd) Forgive me.

Forgive me, I should explain.

I was in a coma.

The result of a life of bad choices: drugs, crime, prison.

I was not a nice man.

I was not supposed to wake up, but I did on the Day.

I heard a voice and I saw a light,

a light that's still there on the edge of my sight,

a choir that's always on the edge of my hearing,

a warmth...

that I can almost feel when I reach out my hand.

Since I woke up, the memories of my life are slipping away,

being replaced by wonderful visions from the Lord.

People, places, journeys

through far-away lands from different times.

I saw the deserts of Egypt like I was there.

I saw the first temple of Jerusalem.

It was like I was sitting at the table

with Jesus and his disciples.

I remember their faces.

I know languages I've never learned.

I need you to help me follow his call, Josh.

I've stayed here helping people best I can,

waiting for what comes next.

And last week the call came again, the urge.

I have to go back to the Holy Land.

There's another one out there just like me somewhere,

and together we will meet in Jerusalem

and we must bear witness to what happens there.

(Josh) You want me to take you to the Middle East?

No, just to the coast.

God will provide me safe passage from there.

But you'll stop in town first to--

I doubt if it's going to be that easy, but I will go.

What time is it?

(Raoul) Almost sundown.

That can't be right.

How long were we in there?

Time moves a bit strange around Brother George.

You get used to it.

She's got a leak.

(Raoul) Not anymore.

She's all patched up.

She's a beauty.

You mind if I take a look under the hood?

Sure, go ahead.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes,

I wouldn't have believed it.

(Josh) Yeah, me too.

Does it say anything about this in the Scriptures?

It talks about two witnesses in the book of Revelation,

but it doesn't really specify as to who they are,

just that they're prophets with the power of God.

It says,

"They are 'two olive trees' and two lampstands,

and 'they stand before the Lord of the earth.'"

Lord of the earth?

Satan, devil.

They're supposed to preach to the people, the world,

and their words will be like fire

and they'll kill anyone who tries to harm them.

And then the Beast will rise up and destroy them.

Man, I thought I had problems.

(Josh) You okay?

[muffled crying]

I'm sorry about your mother.

I just don't know if she's alive or dead.

(Josh) Your people, they're leaving.

(Raoul) We knew this day would come.

Don't worry, they'll be safe.

I found this on the inside of your fender.

What's it for?

- Oh no. - What is it?

He never wanted us to bring back your mother.

What do you mean?

(sheriff) We're here.

The Shepherd.

Where is he?

I'm here.

There's no need for violence.

- What? - I surrender.

No, you can't.

Is it him?

(The Shepherd) It's alright, Brother Joshua, it's alright.

It's him.

Get him in the truck.

He's not going anywhere with you!

Oh, will you please shut up?

[gunshots]

(The Shepherd) Brother Joshua, have faith in God's plan.

[heartbeat]

Have faith in God's plan.

Have faith, faith in God's plan.

Search the building.

Kill anything that moves, starting with him.

[gunshot]

Call the ULC.

Tell them that I have what they want.

(sheriff's partner) Nobody home, the place is clear.

(sheriff) Let's go. Bring the car.

We're moving out!

[heartbeat]

Where is she? Where's my mother?

Abner, hey!

(Mr. Drake) They're on their way.

No one sleeps tonight.

Nobody comes in or out of here for any reason.

Don't take your eyes off him.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Don't do this, please.

I've seen what he can do, Abner, it's the real thing.

It's not a trick.

You have to let him go, please.

I remember a girl who crawled to my doorstep,

willing to do anything for a roof over her head, a hot meal.

And I took you in, you and your mother.

And this is the thanks I get.

Where is she?

Is she still alive?

Will things go back to normal?

Will you do as you're told?

The ULC needed surgeons after the war.

I sent her to them.

She's still alive as far as I know.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

It was necessary.

(ethereal male voice) Joshua?

Joshua.

I'm with you, Joshua.

How?

How is--

Who are you?

You know me, Joshua.

It's you, Lord.

That's not possible.

You wouldn't--

It says that--

Peace.

I've not returned yet, that time is still coming.

You can help me.

You can do anything.

I can, but in the right time and for the right reason.

The Shepherd, he touched me, he prayed for me.

Can he really heal?

Only God can heal, Joshua.

The witness is an instrument.

By God's hand, through him,

that which seems impossible can become possible,

but the choice is yours.

I have a choice?

There's always a choice.

Does that mean that I could-- I could see them again?

Rachel and--

And your daughter and your parents.

They're waiting for you.

All you have to do is take my hand.

But they need me here.

If I don't help them, how will they--

the Shepherd, he's part of the prophecy--

Son, have no fear, the prophecies will be fulfilled,

be it one way or another.

One river is calm while the other is treacherous.

In one boat many will be saved; in the other many will be lost.

Maybe I--maybe I don't want the responsibility.

I'm tired of fighting.

It's never enough,

for every 1 that I save, 100 are--

It matters a great deal to that one person.

It matters to me.

Tell me, Lord. What do I do?

[gasping]

***

Someone's coming.

(gatekeeper) Ignore 'em. No one gets in today.

(gatekeeper #2) He ain't slowing down.

[truck crashing]

I don't like this.

[grunting] Ah!

How much longer?

Touchdown in about 30 minutes.

***

One...

One... two...

three...

four...

four... five...

six...

seven...

seven... eight...

Eddie?

***

(The Shepherd) This life is only temporary, Mr. Drake, remember that.

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,

"where moth and rust destroy,

"and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven--"

Shut up!

Just shut up.

Hey, what's going on?

Hey, come here, help out.

What happened?

(male medic) Are you crazy?

Drake will have me hanged.

Then I'll do it.

Anything's better than just watching her die.

Molly, don't go do something stupid.

She's not even one of us. She's an outsider.

Josh, did you find Grace?

No, but I found somebody even better.

How is she?

(male medic) She's not good.

Whatever you're gonna do, do it fast.

Hang on.

Don't let her die.

They'll be here in 5 minutes.

Time to go.

Get him ready.

You're not gonna give me any problems, right holy man?

Not the kind you would understand.

Boss, fuel injectors have all been cut.

These ladies won't be rolling for weeks.

(Josh) Drake!

McManus?

(Mr. Drake) Thought you said you took care of him.

(sheriff) I put two in his chest. He was dead.

Send the Shepherd to me.

Doesn't look very dead to me, shoot him!

[gunshot]

[gunshots]

Shoot him! Where is everybody?

(Josh) No more backup, Drake. It's over!

You think this is over?

You have no idea who you're dealing with.

Come on.

[gunshots]

Let's go! Move!

(Sofia) Abner, stop.

Whatever they're paying you, it's not worth it.

Please, just let him go.

[gunfire]

(Mr. Drake) Start it up.

(mechanic) Boss, she is not ready yet.

Start it up. Everybody inside.

[guns clicking empty]

***

Ahh!

[grunting]

***

***

***

***

[neck breaking]

[explosion]

Oh, come on.

[explosion]

***

[explosion]

To the airfield.

You in one piece?

Yeah, barely.

Come on.

***

They're taking him to the airfield.

Here, take it. No complaints.

***

***

***

[gunfire]

Abner, stop! I can't let you do this!

I don't have a choice!

You do have a choice!

[gunshot]

Must--have to--

Necessary.

(Sofia) Keep your hands up.

I don't know who you are, but you have no idea

what you're involving yourselves in.

You can't have him, not today, not ever.

(female emissary) Be sensible.

We can make this worth your while.

You were wrong to think you could change the prophecies.

(male emissary) I don't know what you're talking about.

I suggest you find a very deep hole to hide in.

The Chairman will hear about this.

He'll hear about you.

***

***

***

(Josh) Is it working?

She's fading.

But she can't be.

You did it for me. Why isn't it working?

I've done all I can.

As far as I understand it, the rest is up to him.

(girl) He fought so hard for me.

My parents will miss me so much,

and I'll miss them.

I should go back.

But you don't want to go back.

No.

I'm wanna go with you, Lord.

You have a gentle spirit.

These end of times are hard times,

filled with sadness.

Will they be okay?

Worry no longer for the world, child.

Come with me.

***

I'm so sorry.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

***

***

***

***

***

(Sofia) There's a captain with a cargo ship,

and he's willing to take us across.

Good.

You're not coming, are you?

(Josh) You could stay with me.

That'd be nice.

But I have to do this.

I have to go there with him.

I wanna be a part of it.

Come with us.

Something tells me I should stay,

and I think I should listen.

Are you sure?

Stay with me.

I can't.

It'll be dangerous.

I'm not afraid.

***

You need something?

(male #3) Josh McManus, you're a hard man to find.

I'm gonna need your help.
