(Please see the first entry to get the backstory for this film)

In the previous scene, Bob Carter saw a smelly old drunk get killed by his own mutated son, Papa Jupe. He's also been warned that his stranded family are soon going to get the same treatment.

Old Bob is an ex-cop though, and has seen a few things. He boasts that he's "had hillbillies throw dogs at me from rooftops, and even been shot at by my own men!"

Quite why he's proud of the above we never find out, but the point is that he's armed with a howitzer of a handgun and would appear to be able to take care of himself.

Alas, old age makes weaklings of us all, and within a few minutes of jogging back towards his family, his heart begins to clench and he is making audible gasps of agony.

Papa Jupe can hear all this from the shadows, and begins to taunt Bob, which of course causes even more palpitations. Bob gets off a few defiant rounds, but soon the gun slips from his blue fingers and he collapses, helpless.

Papa Jupe is now free to wander over and torment the old man some more. He proceeds to do this with an astonishing amount of sadism.

First, he stuffs what looks like a rat into Bob's mouth, so he can't scream. The reason for this becomes clear later. He then hammers spikes through his palms, crucifying him to a stake. Poor old Bob is then left to ponder his fate, whilst things don't get any better for the Carter family back at their camper van...

This camper van you see, is occupied by the rest of the Carter family, who are gradually suspecting that they are in big trouble. Two of Jupiter's sons, Mars and Pluto, have been sent to kill them, but they're allowed a bit of fun before they do so. Their fun comes in the shape of the teenage Brenda Carter, but before Mars can have his way, the alarm is raised...

Cue the backup plan, involving the still conscious Bob Carter. Mars radios for the diversion to start, and Papa Jupe pulls the rat out of Bob's mouth and sets him ablaze outside the camper van. Bob's screams understandably cause most of the family to rush to his aid, giving Mars time to violate young Brenda.

Bob gets put out by a fire extinguisher, but frankly this isn't an act of kindness, and when we see smoke issuing from his charred mouth it's a fair bet that he isn't going to last long. His wife, Ethel, goes into hysterical denial at this point, so the last thing Bob hears is his lifelong partner saying "That's not my Bob! That's *not* my Bob!".

When the Carters finally go back to their van, they disturb Mars and Pluto, and during the ensuing chaos Ethel gets shot, as does Brenda's older sister, Lynne (although not before stabbing Mars in the leg, meaning he has to limp for the rest of the film).

Crucially, Mars also takes Lynne's baby, although not, as you might expect, to revitalise their woefully lacking genepool - no, they intend to eat it!

It's fair to say things are looking bleak for the Carters, but the (minor) subtext for this film is about how acts of violence can inspire their victims to even greater brutality*, so some payback is surely imminent...
