It doesn't have to be like this.

You can give up now, and you

won't... be in trouble.

See ya, Bill.

Sheryl, don't do this. Sheryl?

Oh, man!

Sheryl? That you?

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed by thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

But deliver us from evil.

Amen.

MOTHER (ON PHONE): Hello?

Hi, Mom.

Natalie! How are you, baby?

Yeah, I'm good, um, we're just stopping off at

the Badlands for lunch at this little diner.

It's going all right.

How are you?

I'm okay, baby, just surviving.

Well, what did

the doctors tell you?

The doctor said there's a good chance the

surgery will help, but it's very expensive.

They need me to pay for it now

because of my bankruptcy.

It's okay, I'm strong...

and we've always been a strong

family, just the two of us.

Well, you just stay strong,

okay?

I will, honey.

You do exactly what they say.

I am.

Hey, um, I have some money.

I'll bring it.

Enough to cover the operation.

No, Natalie, you don't have to.

I know that you don't want it,

but you need it.

Oh, bless your heart, baby.

Thank you.

Of course, anything for you.

Hey, well, I gotta go, so...

I'll be there, I promise.

Okay, sweetie. I love you.

I love you, too.

REPORTER (ON TV): Breaking news

today, we have new developments...

in this ongoing story.

The ex-minister and convicted felon

now known as "The Reaper"...

has been sighted

in Kings County...

the same city where he was convicted

for murder so many years ago.

The Reaper, after surviving the electric

chair and escaping the state penitentiary...

is believed to be hiding

in or around Kings County.

The nightmare continues.

Police are investigating a missing

persons case in the area.

Tammy Simmons, a known

prostitute, has gone missing...

and the police believe the

Reaper might be involved.

Again, authorities are urging the people

of Kings County to stay indoors...

and be cautious until the police are able

to apprehend the suspect. In other news...

I'm all right.

Hi. What'll it be, sweetie?

Um, give me a piece

of that chocolate cake.

I'll get that warmed up for you.

Thank you.

There you go.

Thank you, darling.

Can I get you anything else,

Rob?

No, darling. Just go and look after the

other customers like you're paid to.

Red meat'll kill ya.

Something's got you, my son...
