Erik
Hey babe. I’m running a little late, but I’ll pick you up in 10 minutes.
Hannah
Actually, I’m not home.
Hannah
I’m on my way to meet someone.
Erik
Babe, the movie starts in half an hour.
Hannah
Yeah, well this is more important. BABE.
Erik
Who are you meeting?
Erik
Hannah, I’m not married.
Hannah
Well then, explain this.
Hannah sends him a picture of a marriage certificate.
Hannah
I know we’ve only been dating a couple of months…
Hannah
But I didn’t know you were MARRIED.
Erik
Hannah, I can explain everything.
Hannah
I just got to Cool Beans Coffee.
Hannah
I’m supposed to meet Mollie…YOUR WIFE…here.
Erik
Hannah…you can’t meet with her.
Hannah
Are you afraid she’ll tell me your other secrets?
Hannah
Do you guys have kids together?!
Erik
No! It’s not like that.
Erik
Please just get out of there.
Erik
I promise I’ll tell you everything if you do.
Erik
I’m on my way now, okay?
Erik
Meet me in the parking lot.
Erik
You have no idea what these people will do.
Hannah
What do you mean, these people?
Hannah
I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on!
Erik
Remember when we met…
Erik
And I said I moved around a lot?
Erik
That I never stayed in one place for very long?
Erik
Well, there’s a reason I always move around.
Hannah
I know. Apparently, you were running away from your wife!
Erik
I was running away from all of them.
Hannah
You have more than one wife?!
Erik
No! And, please stop calling her that.
Erik
She’s not my wife. Not to me.
Hannah
What do you mean, not to you?
Hannah
You sound like a total jerk right now.
Erik
…I was part of a cult.
Erik
My parents joined when I was a toddler.
Erik
I was 7 when they arranged the marriage between me and Mollie…
Erik
And 15 when they did the ceremony.
Erik
The cult controlled everything we did.
Erik
We didn’t have a choice.
Erik
If we didn’t do what they said, they would…
Erik
They’d do really bad stuff.
Hannah
Babe, I’m so sorry. I had no idea.
Hannah
How did you get away?
Erik
Late one night, I started a fire in an empty building.
Erik
It caused this huge distraction.
Erik
And while everyone tried to put it out…
Erik
I snuck out and ran.
Erik
Then I just kept running.
Erik
Sometimes, I feel like I’ve never stopped.
Hannah
Wow, that’s really brave.
Hannah
But what happened to Mollie?
Erik
I’m almost there, Hannah.
Erik
Be ready to jump in.
Hannah
Erik…I think Mollie’s here.
Hannah sends him a picture of a woman wearing a long conservative dress.
Erik
Hannah, you need get out of there. NOW.
Hannah
But what if she needs our help?
Erik
You don’t know these people like I do.
Erik
They don’t let their members just walk away.
Erik
Why do you think I’ve been running my entire life?
Hannah
But she could be running too!
Hannah
Not to make you feel bad…
Hannah
But you just kind of left her there, right?
Erik
I know. I’ve felt guilty ever since…
Erik
But I couldn’t trust anyone.
Erik
Not even my own parents.
Hannah
But if she’s here…
Hannah
Then doesn’t that mean that she escaped too?
Hannah
We can’t just let her wander around.
Hannah
If the cult is as bad as you say it is…
Erik
Please…stay away from her!
Erik
Hannah, is everything okay?
Erik receives a picture of Hannah and Mollie taking a selfie together.
Hannah
Erik, your wife is so cool!
Hannah
But she’s never even seen a cellphone.
Hannah
No wonder you ran away 😉
Hannah
Relax. Mollie’s alone.
Hannah
She escaped and reached out to me to find you.
Erik
Hannah, I’m not sure she’s telling you the truth.
Erik
The cult doesn’t allow access to the outside world.
Erik
So if Mollie really escaped…
Erik
Why hasn’t she used a cellphone?
Erik
How did she find me?
Hannah
That’s…a good point.
Hannah
Erik, 2 men are approaching us!
Hannah
Mollie is panicking.
Erik
Run! I’m parked in front of the burger place.
Erik
Let’s get out of here!
Hannah
Not without Mollie.
And sees something terrifying.
Erik
Hannah, turn around!
Erik
They’re surrounding my car…
Erik
One of them has a crowbar…
Erik
They’re trying to pry open my door!
Erik sends Hannah a picture of the men.
Erik
Hannah, if these guys take me…
Erik
Send this photo to the police, okay?
Erik
Let them know what happened.
Erik
Don’t approach my car!
Erik
They might take you too!
Erik
Why are you talking to these men?
Erik
Why are you wearing that long, white dress?
Erik
It almost looks as if…
Hannah
I knew you’d figure it out eventually.
Hannah
You know the rules as well as I do.
Hannah
Once you’re in the clan…
Hannah
You’re in it for life.
Hannah
But you belong to Mollie.
Just then, the man with the crowbar wrenches the car door open.
Several pairs of arms grab Erik…
And drag him from the car.
From afar, Hannah smiles.
