Episode 3

Amy sat alone on the swing, meditating, while Rebecca joined in the conversations of other cultists as they explored the mysteries of the universe and the way to reveal truth through self-sacrifice.Amy overheard their conversation and strained her ears as the leader spoke, trying to catch every word.

At the same time, Roy woke up from his sleep and found Ceci standing by the window staring into the distance.He mentioned that he had dreamed about the house disappearing and noticed that Audrey was getting ready to go out.After reading the Bible, Audrey became more interested in religious faith.

Luke's mental state gradually approached the brink of collapse. He saw a vision of a beautiful nurse sending Billy home safely.It's a highly sexualized, warped version of reality, and when the two women leave, Luke is shocked to discover that Wayne has other plans.He decided to take it upon himself to restore Billy to health. Although he tried to argue with Wayne that he could handle the affairs of the ranch, he was speechless under the questioning eyes of the other party.Eventually, he was told to take care of Billy.

In the courtroom, the Taylorsons and Abbotts gathered together to await the start of the trial.Surprisingly, however, Perry did not appear, which became the first place where doubts arose in everyone's mind.While we know where he's going, no one else has.Witnesses confirmed that Amy left with her mother voluntarily, and Perry's absence showed no signs of looking for her, which raised suspicions that he was deliberately stalling for time.Things grew increasingly awkward, especially when Perry's actions allegedly breached his bail conditions.

Therefore, this also puts the ranch's contract in jeopardy.If they can't raise $500,000 by Monday, they face losing their ranch.The judge expressed regret, but there was nothing he could do.On the way out of the courthouse, Roy confessed to Wayne that the most unfortunate thing for Billy and Luke was to be born into such a family.

Sisi and Roy tried to find loans to meet their immediate needs, but they repeatedly hit a wall.Although Sisi tried his best, he still could not change the situation.The couple felt helpless and hopeless.

Audrey came to the church to find inner peace and revealed to everyone her experience of joining a cult.Now she hopes to become a teacher in the church and bring correct guidance to believers.Inside the church, a woman named Sally longs for a cigarette, but it doesn't fit with the values ​​of the others.Only Audrey understands and supports her, pointing out that Sally is defying the limits of time and needs to use this to her advantage.Eventually, at Audrey's persuasion, Sally starts laughing like crazy, and the pastor is impressed to point out that they are kindred spirits.

Luke keeps having flashbacks to the buffalo's stampede and how he caused it to happen.Billy's awakening rouses him from his trance.Duty called them; a large crowd came to pray for Billy, including Audrey.Luke's surprise is palpable, but he kisses Billy on the head as a blessing after Audrey tells him there's a connection between them.As they parted, she told Luke to meet at a bar for further communication.

In the bar, the two talked about Audrey's control over Billy.They avoid lingering too long to avoid being noticed and make sure no one is around before talking.Luke said the hole had closed and he thought it was gone for good.He was angry at his brother and thought he had gotten everything he wanted.The two developed a strong chemistry during their conversation, and although the topic of wild minerals was brought up, it did not develop into any form of sexual relationship.At least for now.

Later, the two went to the ranch together.There, Audrey learned that Luke's only wish was to be taken seriously.She leaned forward, kissed him softly on the lips, and walked deeper into the Abbott Ranch.

As they leave, Wayne returns home and is shocked to find Billy fallen out of bed and lying on the cold floor.Billy's lips moved slightly and he whispered one word: “车.” His fingers caressed his lips, seeming to imply something. This was indicating where he had hidden the minerals.Wayne understood and quickly took the mineral and handed it to Billy.However, after Billy took the mineral, he did not experience any substantial changes. He just fell into a hallucination, as if he was flying in the air.Although we witnessed this supernatural phenomenon, in reality, it was just an illusion brought to him by minerals. Minerals were like drugs, making him addicted to an illusory world.

Luke comes bounding back, and Wayne angrily accuses him of being selfish, which Luke scoffs at.He railed against the fact that he never received his father's love and blamed everyone around him.Wayne tries to talk him down about family honor and responsibility, mentioning that as the middle child, Luke is like an “insurance policy” in case all else fails.Now, however, Wayne finds it hard to see anything worth valuing in Luke.

Luke felt an urge to end Billy's life directly, but at the critical moment, he changed his mind.Instead, he takes the mineral out of Billy's hands and decides to try it himself.However, the hallucinations brought about by the mineral were too strong, and he eventually fell to the ground limply and fell into a coma.

As time goes by, our eyes are drawn back to the past.At that time, Roy was giving Perry some advice. He helped Perry print a new ID card, hoping that he could better integrate into society.The two go to a tailor shop together, where the tailor has a distinct personality.She didn't recognize Rebecca from the photos Roy provided, but she gave Perry some sound advice, telling him to take his time and not rush.

However, Perry is still haunted by ghosts from the past, especially when Roy scolds him for voluntarily jumping down a hole into another time period.To make matters worse, Perry's mood takes a turn for the worse when Wayne suddenly shows up at the bar.Furious, he storms out of the bar, breaks Wayne's nose violently outside the door, and warns him that this is just the beginning.

Returning to reality again, Audrey returns home for dinner and meets Maria for the first time.The atmosphere at the dinner table was tense and heavy. The future of the ranch was at stake, and everyone felt extremely heavy.Audrey didn't stay long, she simply told her family that their current attitude was not going to help solve the problem.As the dinner became increasingly awkward, everyone left the table.Audrey learned from Maria that Perry jumped into the mysterious hole after talking to her.

Meanwhile, Cecilia finds Wayne and pleads with him to lend her $500,000 to save the ranch.She tries to save the family from collapse, but when Wayne challenges her to act like the strong, independent girl she once was, Cecilia backs down.However, Wayne saw her inner struggle and courage, and finally agreed to hand over the money...

But only if Cecilia does him a favor.He asked Roy to hand over the West Ranch and apologize for taking away Cecilia.However, Roy was so proud and determined that he refused Wayne's request.In fact, he got into his truck and left the house in anger.

Roy's destination was the mysterious ranch, and he drove straight to the edge of the cave.There, he was shocked to see someone crawling out of the hole.Who is that person?It's Joey!
