No Sin Unpunished

Claire.

Claire.

Claire, Claire wake up.

Wake up, wake up, Claire.

Claire, wake up.

Baby.

Baby.

Baby.

Baby.

Please, ah.

Who's baby?

I don't know.

Baby, baby

Huh.

Well, I'm not gonna get any sleep tonight.

Yeah, no, I'm sleeping with all the lights on.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

It's fun.

Oh shit, we're so late.

I feel like I lost my voice

from screaming so much.

Okay, back to the real world.

Why do we still work here?

Oh, because it's a fabulous salary.

Uh, I can't wait to leave.

Do you think your boyfriend will be here tonight?

He's not my boyfriend.

Really?

Because you stare at him like you want him to be.

He's pretty cute.

Oh Hero, oh my Hero.

I'm sorry.

So what time tomorrow?

Six, if we're gonna find a place to park.

Drinks first?

Make it five, then?

Beautiful.

Bye, slut.

Love you, Maggie.

I love you too.

Hey Taryn.

Sweetie, can I get a cup of coffee over here?

Yeah, I'll be right there, Neely.

Taryn.

I know.

You're 10 minutes late.

I know, I'm sorry, man.

I got a restaurant full of people here.

I got it, Rodney.

How's the search going?

Actually, I think I've narrowed it down.

Really?

Do you know that old drive-in movie theater

at the edge of town?

The Starlight?

I just came from there.

And?

And I've always thought that place was pretty special.

Been going there since I was a kid.

Hey, I could use some more coffee over here.

I'll be back.

How's your chicken parm tonight?

It's the same as it always is.

Charlene still taking care of her mom in Lagrange?

Yeah, and her sister still has the kids.

Who's the drifter?

Drifter?

Oh, wrong guess.

That's Hero, he's an archeologist.

He has all kinds of college degrees.

Hero?

It's just a nickname.

His real name's a jaw buster, it's Her, Hieronymus?

He's kind of shy, but once you get to know him,

he opens up.

Has he been coming in regular?

About three weeks.

So what's he here for?

Guess he's trying to find some stuff.

He's looking for this ancient civilization.

14,000 years old.

And he thinks he's found it, right here in Carverstown.

He's gonna put this place on the map.

He sounds like just another nut case hitting on you.

What time are you getting off?

Same old time.

Same old time, why?

So I can pick you up.

I might have other plans.

Oh, you fixin' to be mean to me.

Your wife's my second cousin.

That's never bothered you before.

Well maybe I've done some growing up since then.

Why don't you tell me all about it at midnight.

Order up.

Eat your chicken.

Everything okay?

Sure.

Is that where you think it is?

If not, I've wasted two years of research.

But, when I'm there, I feel it.

Feel what?

Emanations from the ruins of a city

buried 14,000 years ago.

But whatever's left is discharging enough energy

to make my skin crawl.

I mean, I'm naturally sensitive to the earth's

energy fields, but this place, it's almost enough

to knock me on my ass.

So what happened to it?

Believe it or not,

earthquakes strong enough to move mountains.

There's earthquakes in Georgia?

Well, seismically this area was very, very

different back then.

So these visions, is it like being psychic?

Well, neurologically speaking, I'm epileptic.

When I have an occurrence, a seizure, I see things.

People, events, places, past, present, future.

It's never the whole thing.

Just quick flashes.

Order up.

Okay.

Here, let me top you off.

Ah, ah.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Hero.

Somebody help.

Rodney, somebody call 911.

Hero, can you hear me?

Hero.

Hero.

So he's already been discharged?

Did he leave an address or maybe a phone number?

No, this is very important.

I have something he needs.

Okay.

Thanks anyway.

Damn.

No luck.

Well, he'll probably be back for his glasses, right?

Listen, I wanted to show you something.

I found that on the floor.

He was showing this to me earlier.

What is it?

Do you have any tape?

Yeah, I think so.

I bet you good money I know exactly where he is.

Yeah?

I'll just take it to him on my way home.

Were you planning on stopping by?

I mean, why bother?

Because I need to know he's okay.

Hero.

Hero.

Hero?

Hero.

Taryn?

Goddamn it, Hero.

Sorry.

What are you doing here?

I brought you your glasses.

You shouldn't be here.

Hero, look out.

Hero.

Oh my God, Hero.

He's not dead.

I don't want him dead, yet.

Why did you do that?

We didn't do anything.

Liar.

Our Lord did not bleed for you,

so can throw His mercy back in His face.

Is he your, your newest?

Hero and I never--

You get tired of being defiled

by that son of a whore, Neely Blasemore?

There were so many.

And you took your, your goodness, your sweetness.

Neely's been done for a while.

No, how many have there been, huh?

I seen 'em.

I seen 'em all.

You're right, I'm sorry.

I'm sick.

I need help.

God's help.

Please help me, John.

Please, John, please.

Help me.

No, you can't be helped.

Who do you think made me this way?

Go with God, if He'll have you.

Oh my God.

What?

Oh my God.

No, I--

Hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey you.
