The camera pans over the golden fields of Hope County, the windmill creaking against a silent sky. Four figures emerge from the tall grass: three armed men flanking a preacher clutching a Bible. They approach the barn where the farmer works, their smiles unnerving in the stillness. The preacher speaks of the Lord’s silence and signs, his voice warm yet threatening. As the farmer demands they leave, the gunmen begin a haunting hum, causing the cattle to panic. The preacher claims the land belongs to the Father, then vanishes, leaving only a blood-stained Bible and the sound of approaching footsteps.
