struck me dead.

He told me all

that it since happened.

He said:
"Joseph has taken his

things and fled this happy place...

because the worship of me

is no more upon him...

so take you his life

and spill his blood".

- He did?

- Yes.

"But let not the flesh

pollute the corn.

- Cast him instead upon the road."

- And so was done.

Joseph, the betrayer,

was cast out.

And He Who Walks

Behind the Rows did say...

"I will send outlanders

amongst you.

Aman and a woman.

And these outlanders...

will be unbelievers

and profaners of the holy".

- I thought Isaac never came here.

- But he's always been here.

Just like He Who Walks

Behind The Rows.

"And the man shall

sorely test you...

for He has great power. Even

greaterthan that of the blue man.

The blue man!

Yes, the blue man!

And just as the blue man

was offered upon to Him...

- so shall be the unbelievers!

- Make sacrifice unto Him.

Bring the blood

of the outlanders.

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Let's get out of here!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

Praise God!

Praise The Lord!

It looks like a swinging place.

I guess nobody told them

we were coming.

I hope not.

I don't see anybody.

Town Hall.

Grocety store. Hansen's Cafe.

It seems they got a phone.

Unless a ghost is using it.

- What is it with this corn?

- You got me.

Is dead.

Just like evetything else here.

- A rat.

- Yeah. Just an ordinaty rat.

Now can we

get out of here, please?

Wait a minute!

Come back here!

C'mon, Vicky. Hurry up.

I don't wanna lose them.

What are you gonna do

if you catch them?

Ask where we can get help.

What else?

They just got off that way.

Damn!

Where did they go?

We're already in the car. Why

wouldn't we just go to Hemingford?

- That would take us 20 minutes.

- We'd just found people.

Yeah, three kids

that tried to steal our car.

There's something

vety strange about this town.

We'd be better off

in a biggertown anyway.

- The size of Seattle.

- Yeah.

- Overthere!

- What?

- I just saw a door open and close.

- I didn't see anything.

- Let's check it out.

- Why? I thought we were going.

- Settle down.

- Don't patronize me.

I'm not patronizing you. I just

wanna see if there's someone there.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody home?

We've had an accident.

We need to use your phone.

Okay.

Now can we go?

- Burt, this is somebody's house.

- I know. I just want a phone.

Hello?

Gross.

I'll check out the back.

I found the phone.

Matches the decor.

This is three years old.

I don't understand

what's going on here.

Well, can we go?

Burt!
