Complete story — includes the ending

Joe, Emma, and Mandy arrive at a cult compound. Two authority figures in the cult, Robert and Julia, have them blindfolded and handcuffed before entering the trucks. Joe meets with Micah, the cult's leader, and offers his help with the cult in exchange for a place to stay. Julia gives Joe a lie detector test to ensure his intentions are genuine. He, Emma, and Mandy are taken to a ceremony which involves taking blood from a new member to wash away all of their sins, bringing them a step closer to "going home." Emma is selected and strapped to a post where Micah slits her wrists and eventually drinks her blood. She faints, but survives. Meanwhile Ryan meets with Agent Mendez about his suspicion that someone in the FBI is giving Joe information, however Ryan is uncertain he can trust her. Max asks Ryan to give up on chasing Joe, but Ryan admits he's formed an obsession and must kill him. Weston is unstable after assaulting Luke so he leaves the FBI building to go home. Max is captured by a man hired by Lily, as the man's son records the capture on video. The man ties her up and hangs her by her hands from the ceiling of a basement. Upon learning this, Weston returns to help find Max. After Ryan receives the video of Max on his phone, he questions Luke who remains in custody at a hospital, still recovering from the assault. Luke reveals the man's name: Kurt (Bowlen), known as "The Huntsman" - a known serial killer. After the FBI finds Kurt's home, Ryan and Weston handcuff his son until he divulges the whereabouts of his father. Meanwhile Max escapes into the woods, with Kurt chasing her. FBI police dogs track them down and Weston finds Max right before Kurt is shot dead by Ryan. Ryan receives a video text message from Lily and puts it on screen in the FBI's office. Weston recognizes Lily is at his father's house, as the video turns to his father strapped in a chair. Mark slits his throat and kills him. As Weston runs out of the room crying hysterically, Lily teases Ryan that she has more surprises in store for him. Ryan catches Weston weeping outside and holds him.
