00:04Pay, so, let's begin.

00:18faced by Lemon, a married woman who is roped in to repay her husband's death following
00:22his disappearance.
00:24When her son's life hangs in the balance, Lemon is forced to navigate the complex and
00:29tense land conflicts in the small community while searching for a way to save her son.
00:34The fast-paced and slick thriller has plenty of action and shocking moments of violence
00:39that invest viewers in Lemon's story.
00:42If you are looking for answers about the story's conclusion, here is everything you need to
00:46know about the ending, just to let you know this video will contain spoilers.
00:51The Devil to Pay opens at a small house on an Appalachian mountain where Lemon Cassidy
00:55lives with her son, Koi.
00:58Her husband, Tarly, works for a local landlady Tommy Runyon.
01:02However, Tarly is missing for a few days and Lemon assumes he has gone on one of his benders.
01:09As a result, she and Koi are left alone to do the house chores.
01:14One day, two men who work for Tommy arrive at Lemon's house.
01:18The men reveal that Tommy wants to meet with Lemon.
01:21However, they do not allow her to take Koi along.
01:25Instead, the men remain at Lemon's house, watching over Koi.
01:30Lemon walks to Tommy's house and meets the Runyon family matriarch.
01:34Tommy explains to Lemon that Tarly was caught stealing from her.
01:38However, Tommy gave Tarly a chance to repay his debt.
01:43She asked him to perform a task for her in exchange for writing off the debt.
01:47Nonetheless, Tarly has gone missing, and Tommy assumes he fled with her money.
01:53Therefore, she takes Koi hostage and forces Lemon to complete the task.
01:58Lemon has no choice but to work for Tommy as her son's life is in danger.
02:03Lemon sets out to search for Tarly.
02:06However, she first stops at Grady's house.
02:10He asks her to deliver a jar of sulfuric acid to a religious cult that lives on the outskirts.
02:16After providing the jar, Lemon realizes that the cult uses it for torture.
02:20Later, Lemon tracks down Tarly's truck and discovers that his hands were chopped off.
02:26She finds a pocket watch in the glove compartment belonging to Peter Knox, Tommy's rival landowner.
02:33Lemon collects the pocket watch and hands it over to Tommy.
02:36However, she reveals that Tarly is likely dead from bleeding out.
02:41Tommy explains that Tarly stole the wrong watch and sends Lemon to Peter's house with
02:45Bull, her brother.
02:48Lemon tries to forge an alliance at Peter's house by revealing Tommy's plan.
02:52Peter reveals that his and Tommy's family have been in a truce for years, and killing
02:57a member could lead to a war.
02:59However, recently Peter took down a tree planted by Tommy's grandfather after it was struck
03:04by lightning, leading to her seeking revenge.
03:08Bull intervenes and kills Peter and prepares to blame his death on Lemon.
03:13With no help and a target on her back, Lemon must find a way to survive and save her son,
03:18forming the rest of the plot.
03:20Does Lemon save Koi?
03:22After realizing she has been tricked into doing Tommy's dirty bidding, Lemon makes a
03:26run for her life.
03:28She creates a distraction and escapes from Bull.
03:31However, Lemon knows that the Runyans will keep coming after her.
03:36Therefore, she lures Bull away from the town and takes him to the cult's land.
03:41The religious cult follows a strict no-weapons policy.
03:45As a result, when Bull follows Lemon to the cult's land, he is apprehended.
03:50The cult's leader punishes Bull for his arrogance and kills him using sulfuric acid.
03:56With Bull dead, Lemon returns home to rescue Koi.
04:00Lemon strategically targets the women looking after Koi.
04:04She uses Bull's truck to lure Wade outside the house.
04:08Lemon attacks him with a crowbar.
04:10When Wade refuses to stand down, Lemon brutally kills him by smashing his skull.
04:16The last remaining member of the Runyan gang, Dixon, tries to threaten Lemon.
04:21However, she retrieves a gun and forces him to stand down.
04:26She asks him to tell Tommy that their deal is over.
04:30If Tommy comes after Koi again, Lemon threatens to raise a query that could jeopardize Tommy's
04:34business.
04:35However, Dixon's words convince Lemon that her actions will lead to war.
04:41Lemon realizes that Tommy will not spare her.
04:44Therefore, she kills Dixon and heads to confront Tommy.
04:49At that house, Tommy tries to talk Lemon out of harming her.
04:53However, Lemon shoots Tommy dead.
04:56With all the threats negated, Lemon reunites with her son in a heartwarming moment.
05:01Ultimately, Lemon succeeds in protecting her son despite being double-crossed by Tommy.
05:07Moreover, Lemon cleverly takes out her enemies and makes the deaths look like a result of
05:12a war between the Nox and the Runyan factions.
05:15Hence, Lemon proves that when her child's life is in danger, a mother can be a force
05:20to be reckoned with.
05:22Lemon's actions echo the moral of the story she tells Koi earlier in the film, where a
05:26person must do anything necessary to survive as the crooked and evil world will always
05:31try to destroy them.
05:33Thus, Lemon's story comes full circle as she goes from being a homemaker to a force of
05:38fury when her son's life is threatened.
05:41The film ends with Lemon using the money she took from Tommy's house to start a new life.
05:47Lemon and Koi drive away into the sunset, leaving the carnage behind.
05:52Is Tarly dead?
05:54Where is his body?
05:56In the film, Tarly is mainly missing from all the action as he is believed to have absconded.
06:01However, Lemon knows that her husband would not leave her and their son to fend for themselves.
06:07Later, she learns the truth about Tommy's deal with Tarly.
06:11Although Lemon does not believe that Tarly stole money, she suspects that Tommy set him
06:16up.
06:17Nonetheless, she decides to complete the task assigned to him in order to track Tarly down.
06:23Eventually, Lemon discovers Tarly's truck and, based on the gory scene, deduces that
06:28he ended up in a scuffle with Peter Knox.
06:32Lemon finds Tarly's fingers chopped off in the truck.
06:35Therefore, she is forced to confront the possibility that her husband is dead.
06:40However, since Tarly's death happens off-screen, it is easy for Lemon and the viewers to hope
06:45for his survival.
06:47However, Lemon exclaims that the nearest hospital from the site of Tarly's truck is 38 miles
06:53away.
06:54Hence, it is likely that Tarly bled out and died before he reached the hospital.
07:00In the film's final moments, Lemon visits Grady, revealing she is leaving to make a
07:04life down the mountain.
07:06Grady tells Lemon that a dead body was discovered 15 miles from the mountaintop.
07:12Lemon is overwhelmed to learn that Tarly tried his best to reunite with his family.
07:17Nonetheless, Grady confirms that Tarly is dead and his body has been found.
07:22The information allows Lemon to move on from the tragic events that destroy her family
07:26in just a couple of days.
07:29That's all for now, folks.
