Cal
do you have a plan of action?
Sean
a plan of action based on what?
Sean
I’ll go to the wedding and see what I can do
Sean
if I follow her maybe we can find a moment alone and run to the car
Cal
try not to get caught
Sean
thanks for the brilliant advice!
Sean
I’ll do my best and if we can’t make it, well…
Sean
she’ll have to live with it
Sean
I’m walking into the Temple
Sean
there’s a huge crowd
Sean
looks like the whole of Weeping Rock is here
Sean
I’m standing in a corner
Sean
there’s an altar at the far end of the room
Sean
it wasn’t here yesterday
Sean
I don’t know I can’t see her
Sean
everyone is just standing here in silence
Sean
I suppose they’re waiting for the bride and groom to arrive
Sean
I can see Nazarene. She’s standing in the crowd
Sean
she isn’t wearing her wedding dress or anything
Sean
she just gave me a very scared look
Cal
get the hell out of there
Sean
no, I want to understand what’s happening
Sean
oh wait Isaiah walked up to the altar
Sean
Isaiah won’t be leader anymore!!
Sean
he says he must decrease, and a more rightful one must increase
Sean
I don’t know what he means
Cal
this doesn’t sound too good
Sean
he just said: Sean, come forth!
Cal
get out of there! Now!
Cal
why are you dressed like that?!
Sean
today is the happiest day of my life
Sean
I always knew this is what I really am
Cal
what are you talking about?
Sean
they’ve made me leader
Sean
remember the Holy Virgin?
Sean
who gave birth to the son of God when she was about to be burned?
Cal
Mum comes from there…
Cal
are you out of your mind?
Sean
and her son. The son of God. It’s me.
Cal
please tell me you’re joking
Sean
she ran away out of fear. She wasn’t faithful enough.
Sean
but they brought me back
Sean
and they tested me to make sure I really was the son of God.
Cal
Sean, listen to me. I don’t believe there’s any god.
Cal
and even if there were you certainly wouldn’t be his son.
Sean
it’s official. I am the new leader. This is my home now.
Cal
I could feel something was wrong!
Cal
you don’t understand that they’ve brainwashed you!
Cal
just take a step back and think for a minute
Sean
I’m having a great time
Sean
I read your texts. Are you Sean’s brother?
Cal
what have you done to my brother?
Cal
you lured him into a trap
Sean
not willingly! My family tricked me
Sean
they know how rebellious I am.
Sean
They arranged this fake marriage just to make me want to escape
Sean
Father made sure I found Sean’s number and offered me a cell phone for my birthday
Sean
he said I’d have fun texting my sisters.
Sean
He knew what I would use it for
Cal
why are you using my brother’s phone now?
Sean
let me start from the top
Sean
your brother was made leader
Sean
and he decided to take a wife to celebrate
Cal
let me guess. He wanted you
Sean
they brought me to his room
Sean
he tried to take off my dress…
Sean
you shouldn’t be sorry
Sean
with the bedside lamp
Cal
why are you texting me from his phone?
Cal
how hard did you hit him?
Cal
Nazarene, did you kill my brother?
Sean
I didn’t mean to kill hi
Sean
I was just defending myself
Cal
show me your face now
Sean
do you not believe me?
Cal
I want to see who I’m talking to
Cal
I know what kind of person my brother was becoming
Cal
you did what you had to do
Sean
the sun is already up
Sean
the town will be awake in a couple of hours
Sean
as long as I stay in here they’ll think we’re sleeping
Sean
but I’ll have to come out at some point
Sean
or somebody will come in
Sean
there’s no crime worse than killing him
Sean
I can’t even imagine what they’ll do to punish me
Cal
you don’t have to be scared anymore
Cal
I’m on my way to Weeping Rock. I’ll be there very soon
Cal
I could tell my brother had lost his mind.
Cal
I knew something bad would happen.
Cal
of course. I’ll take you away
Cal
sneak out of the room now before anyone wakes up
Sean
will you go to the police?
Cal
no. I want to forget Weeping Rock ever existed
Sean
the security guard is making his rounds.
Sean
I can hear his boots.
Sean
it should take about ten minutes
Sean
there’s something you should probably know
Sean
I’d rather say it through text than in person
Sean
you know how we were told your brother was the son of God?
Cal
yeah I know the story. And there’s something missing
Cal
who is his biological father?
Sean
Mother often told me that when he was younger my uncle Isaiah had a special relationship with Anna your mom...
Sean
even if she was very shy.
Sean
like she was his favourite. Mother never says things straight but…
Cal
he raped her. What an animal
Cal
did your mom know my mom well?
Cal
wait. that makes us cousins!!
