"He's fixing it for us." "Nice people." "Yeah." "So how long till you're upand running?" " Sundown." "Really?" "To fix a break line?" "You know I knowa thing or two about cars." "I can probably have you up and running in about an hour." "Wouldn't charge you anything." "You know, thanks a lot." "But I think we'd rather have a mechanic do it." "Sure." "You know it's just that these roads." "They're not really safe at night." "I'm sorry?" "I know it sounds strange but uh¡" "You might be in danger." "We're trying to eat, okay?" "Yeah." "But you know my brother can give you this puppy dog looking" "And you just buy right into it." "Thanks for coming Sheriff." "I would like a word, please." "Come on, I'm having a bad day already." "You don't want to make it worse." "Burktisville 3" "So what, are you on some kind of vacation or something?" "Yeah, right." "It's all sopping crystal pool side for me." "No." "I had to" "Get away from my family." "Why?" "I love my parents." "And they wanted what's best for me." "They just didn't care if I wanted it." "I was suppose to be smart" "But not smart enough to scare away a husband." "Well¡" "Let's just¡" "Because my family said so." "I'm suppose to sit there and do what I was told." "So, I just went on my own way instead." "I'm sorry." "It's not things to say to people you hardly know." "No." "No, it's okay." "I know how you feel." "Remember that brother I mentioned Before, that I was road tripping with?" "It's uh¡ Kind of the same deal." "And that's why you're not riding with him anymore?" "Here's to us." "The food might be bad" "And the beds might be hard" "But at least we're living our own lives." "And nobody elses." "Burkitsville 3" "I can't believe it.We just got the car fixed." "This way." "Steve." "Who's there?" "Get back to your car." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "What the hell was that?" "Don't ask." "A scarecrow climbed off it's cross?" "Yeah, I'm telling you.Burkitsville, Indiana." "Fun town." "It didn't kill the couple, did it?" "No." "I can't cope without you." "So, something must be animating it." "A spirit?" "No, it's more than a spirit." "It's a god.A Pagan god, anyway." "What makes you say that?" "The annual cycles of its killings" "And the fact that the victims are always a man and a woman." "Like some kind of fatality, right?" "And you should see the locals." "The way they treated this couple." "Fatting them uplike a Christmas turkey." "The last meal." "Giving sacrificial victims." "I'm thinking about ritual sacrifice to peace some Pagan God." "So a god possess a scarecrow." "And the scarecrow takes its sacrifice." "And for another year the cropswon't wilt and disease won't spread." "You know which God we're dealing with?" "No, not yet." "Well, you figure out what it is,you can figure out a way to kill it." "I know." "Actually, I'm on my way to a local community college." "I have an appointment with a professor." "You know, since I don't have my trusty sidekick geek boy to do all the research." "You know¡ If you're hunting you need my help." "Just ask." "I'm not hitting anything." "Actually, uh¡" "I want you to know¡" "We don't think" "Yeah, I'm sorry too." "Sam." "You were right." "You got to do your own thing." "You got to live your own life." "Are you serious?" "And you've always known what you want when you go after it." "You stand up to dad." "I mean, you always have." "Hell, I wish I¡" "Anyway¡" "I admire that about you." "I'm proud of you Sammy." "I don't even know what to say." "Say you'll take care of yourself." "I will." "Call me if you find dad." "Okay, bye Dean." "Who was that?" "My brother." "What did he say?" "Goodbye." "It's not everyday I get a research question on Pagan logy." "Yeah, well." "Call it a hobby." "But you said you were interested in local law?" "I'm afraid Indiana isn't really known for Pagan worship." "Well, what if it is imported?" "You know, like the pilgrims brought their religion over." "Wasn't this area settled by a lot of immigrants?" "Yeah." "Like that town near Burkitsville." "Where are their ancestors from?" "Northern Europe I believe.Scandinavia." "What can you tell me about those Pagan Gods?" "Well, there's hundreds Norse of Gods and Goddesses." "Actually I'm looking for one." "Like living in an orchard." "Wood's God." "Well¡" "Let's see." "Wait, wait, wait.What's that one?" "That's not a Wood's God per say." "The Vanir?" "The Vanir were Norse Gods of protection and prosperity." "Keeping the local settlements safe from harm." "The villages built effigies of the Vanir in their fields." "Other villages practiced human sacrifice." "One male and one female." "Kind of looks like a scarecrow, huh?" "I don't suppose." "This particular Vanir, its energy sprung from a Great Tree." "Pagans believed all sorts of things." "When infused with magic." "So what would happen if the Sacred Tree was torched?" "You think it'll kill the God?" "Son." "These are just legends we're discussing." "Oh, of course." "Yeah, you're right." "Listen, thank you very much." "Glad I could help." "Right." "You do understand Hurley?" "All of us here, it's our responsibility to protect the town." "I understand.Better than all of you." "I'm the one giving them directions." "I'm the one that sends them down to the orchard." "Hurley, please." "We all close our doors." "Look the other way." "Pretend we can't hear the screams." "But this is different.This is murder!" "It's angry with us." "Already the trees are beginning to die." "Tonight is the seventh night of the cycle.Our last chance." "If the boy has to die,the boy has to die." "But why does it have to be her?" "Aunt Stacey?" "Uncle Hurley, please." "Why are you doing this?" "For the common good." "Hey." "Our bus came in." "You better catch it." "I better go." "Go where?" "Burkitsville." "Sam?" "Wait." "I've been trying to call my brother for the last three hours." "I'm just getting his voice mail." "Maybe his phone is turned off." "No, that's not like him." "Meg, I think he might be in trouble." "What kind of trouble?" "I can't really explain right now." "I'm sorry." "Look I don't want you to miss your bus." "But¡ I don't understand." "You're running back to your brother?" "The guy you ran away from?" "Why?" "Because he won't pick up his phone?" "Sam." "Come¡" "With me to California." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "Why not?" "He's my family." "I don't understand." "They're gonna kill us?" "Sacrifice us." "Which is¡" "I don't know." "Classy I guess?" "You really didn't know anything about this?" "Did you?" "About what?" "The Scarecrow God?" "I can't believe this." "Well, you better start believing." "Cause I'm gonna need your help." "Okay." "Now," "We can destroy the Scarecrow but we got to find the Tree." "What tree?" "Maybe you can help me with that." "It will be really old." "The locals will treat it with a lot of respect." "You know, like it was sacred." "There is this one apple tree." "The immigrants brought it over with them." "They call it the First Tree'." "Is it in the orchard?" "Yeah." "But I don't know where." "It's time." "How many peoplehave you killed Sheriff?" "How much blood is in your hands?" "We don't kill them." "No, but you sure cover it up after." "And how many cars have you hidden?" "Clothes have you buried?" "Uncle Hurley?" "Please¡" "I am so sorry Emily." "I wish it wasn't you." "Try to understand." "It's our responsibility." "And there's just no other choice." "There's nobody else but you." "I'm your family." "Sweat heart." "That's what sacrifice means." "Giving up something you love for the greater good." "The town needs to be saved." "The good of the many out weighs the good of the one." "Hope your apple pie is freaking worth it!" "So what's the plan?" "I'm working on it." "You don't have a plan, do you?" "I'm working on it." "Can you see?" "What?" "Is it moving yet?" "I can't see." "Oh, my god." "Oh, my god." "Dean?" "Take everything back I said." "I'm so glad to see you." "How did you get here?" "I uh¡" "Stole a car." "That's my boy!" "Keep an eye on that Scarecrow." "He can come alive any minute." "What Scarecrow?" "All right." "Now the Sacred Tree you were talking about." "It's the source of its power.So let's find it and burn it." "In the morning.Let's shag ass before it catches up." "This way." "Please, let us go." "It'll be over quickly, I promise." "Please¡" "Emily, you have to let him take you.You have to¡" "Come on, come on.Let's go!" "Let me." "You know, the wholetown's gonna die." "Good." "Boston" "You think she's gonna be all right?" "I hope so." "And those towns people,they'll just get away with it?" "What'll happen to the town would have to be punishable enough." "So¡" "I drop you off somewhere?" "No, I think you're stuck with me." "What made you change your mind?" "I didn't." "I still want to find dad." "And you're still a pain in the ass." "But, Jess and mom¡" "They're both gone." "Dad is god knows where." "You and me." "We're all that's left." "So, uh¡" "If we're gonna see this through." "We're gonna do it together." "Hold me Sam." "That was beautiful." "Come on¡" "You should be kissing my ass.You were dead meat dude." "Yeah, right.I had a plan." "I'd gotten out." "Right." "So, where to pretty lady?" "How about you pull over?" "Okay." "That works." "What's that?" "I've got to make a call." "I got a cell you can use." "It's not that kind of call." "Thanks for the ride." "It makes no sense." "I could have stopped Sam." "Hell, I could have taken them both!" "Why let them go?" "Yes." "Yes." "Yes, father."
