After accidentally running Joseph over, Burt assesses the body and realizes the boys throat was slashed. After wrapping and placing the body in the trunk, Burt tells Vicky to wait for him while he looks around with shotgun in hand. Among the corn, Burt finds Josephs bloodied suitcase and takes it with him back to the car. He and Vicky drive off in search of aid, not realizing they are being watched by Isaac Preston Bailey, the 9year old current cult leader, and his most loyal follower, 18yearold warrior Malachai Daniel Newman.After hearing a group of children giving an evangelical sermon over the radio, Burt and Vicky reach an abandoned gas station. After finding the phones nonfunctional Burt decides to go to Gatlin. While Burt drives, Vicky manages to open Josephs suitcase and finds an amulet inside which she recognizes as a pagan creation. Meanwhile, in the cornfields, Isaac tells the others about Burt and Vicky and that they, like the blue man a police officer who was crucified for trying to stop them must be killed to appease He Who Walks Behind the Rows, who demanded Joseph be killed for trying to escape. ........
