00:01:40♪♪
00:01:50♪♪
00:02:00♪♪
00:02:06I've failed.
00:02:08♪♪
00:02:13Don't be a fool, Blacksmith.
00:02:15You don't understand.
00:02:17I don't need to understand.
00:02:19All I know is that the girl couldn't have acted alone.
00:02:23And that's enough of me.
00:02:25♪♪
00:02:33♪♪
00:02:40Once I'm done with you, Blacksmith,
00:02:42I'm going to hang your wife.
00:02:45Get him!
00:02:47I'm trying to save my wife!
00:02:49Your wife is nothing but a witch.
00:02:53Aah!
00:02:55♪♪
00:03:05♪♪
00:03:15♪♪
00:03:25♪♪
00:03:35♪♪
00:03:45♪♪
00:03:55♪♪
00:04:05♪♪
00:04:15♪♪
00:04:25♪♪
00:04:35♪♪
00:04:45♪♪
00:04:55♪♪
00:05:05♪♪
00:05:15♪♪
00:05:25♪♪
00:05:30If we just...
00:05:31if we destroyed the book,
00:05:33wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?
00:05:38Then should we fail?
00:05:41Then...
00:05:42there are dark forces at work.
00:05:47This book is all we have in the struggle against those forces.
00:05:52Without it, I fear we won't be exposed.
00:05:57♪♪
00:06:07♪♪
00:06:17♪♪
00:06:27♪♪
00:06:37♪♪
00:06:44♪♪
00:06:50This is the last message I will leave for you, William.
00:06:55Time is against me now, but not for you.
00:06:59If I should fail, then fate will come full circle.
00:07:04If it does, then the task will fall to you.
00:07:08The path is clear,
00:07:10left to us in the book by all those who came before.
00:07:14Tonight, a chain of events will be set in motion,
00:07:18and four days from now, we will have our chance to save her.
00:07:24But should Twyla attend the trial, or the Sheriff interfere,
00:07:29then you will know that something went wrong.
00:07:34♪♪
00:07:44♪♪
00:07:54♪♪
00:08:04♪♪
00:08:14♪♪
00:08:24♪♪
00:08:34♪♪
00:08:44♪♪
00:08:54♪♪
00:09:04And the screaming woke the entire street, the poor woman.
00:09:15A terrible thing to witness.
00:09:17It was for the girl's parents, I imagine.
00:09:24Thank you.
00:09:39I heard you speaking with Christopher.
00:09:42He was telling me that a girl in town
00:09:44murdered her parents last night.
00:09:46How awful.
00:09:48It's just that he was woken by the screams.
00:09:51I think I was, too.
00:09:54I woke up last night,
00:09:55and I was sure I could hear someone screaming.
00:09:58He said it happened near Gastro,
00:10:00if that's on the other side of town.
00:10:02OK, so...
00:10:06when you head to the market today...
00:10:10I need you to give this to Emma.
00:10:12Of course.
00:10:14I need you to give this to Emma.
00:10:16Of course.
00:10:18Yes.
00:10:48Sir?
00:10:59Sheriff Crawford is here, sir.
00:11:18Sir?
00:11:29Judge Hopkins, sir.
00:11:32Marshal.
00:11:37Is this the girl?
00:11:39Joanna Fletcher,
00:11:41daughter of Aaron and Matilda Fletcher,
00:11:44now deceased.
00:11:46I find it hard to believe that this innocent-looking girl
00:11:49butchered her parents in the middle of the night.
00:11:52No one is innocent, Sheriff.
00:11:55Dawnbrook is a town rife with sin.
00:11:59And I intend to cleanse it.
00:12:16I know this girl.
00:12:18She comes from a good family.
00:12:20Evidently, you didn't know this girl
00:12:22as well as you thought you had.
00:12:24And I'm just thinking that there may be more to this, sir.
00:12:27The only thing we have here
00:12:29is an absence of God in these people's lives.
00:12:32But if this girl were innocent,
00:12:34then surely her conviction would be an injustice.
00:12:38Do not let her go.
00:12:40If this girl were innocent,
00:12:42then surely her conviction would be an injustice.
00:12:45Do not lecture me on justice, boy.
00:12:49I have been dispensing the Lord's justice for years.
00:12:56This week's taking, sir.
00:12:59My daughter will deal with that.
00:13:02Rose!
00:13:10Do you know what the people used to call this town?
00:13:14No, sir.
00:13:17They called it the Devil's Door.
00:13:21The people here knew only wickedness,
00:13:24ungodliness.
00:13:26I purged this town of its riches
00:13:29and brought order to the chaos.
00:13:34Thou shalt not suffer.
00:13:36I will not have my years of hard work
00:13:39undone by these godless peasants.
00:13:45I hope you have good news for me.
00:13:47Yes, sir.
00:13:49Sir Titana's wife saw the girl last night.
00:13:52She could bear witness to the crime.
00:13:55And this one,
00:13:57this one,
00:13:59this one,
00:14:01this one,
00:14:03this one,
00:14:05this one.
00:14:07I caught this rat stealing whilst I was in the market.
00:14:10Thought a few hours in the cell would teach her a lesson.
00:14:18Carry on.
00:14:22Sinners, boy. Every last one of them.
00:14:35Where can I find this woman?
00:14:39Titana's wife.
00:14:41In the market, sir.
00:14:44As you were.
00:15:05Peter Brown.
00:15:27Peter Brown.
00:15:29Yes.
00:15:31Oh, Sheriff Crawford, sir.
00:15:35I beg your pardon, sir, but the rates aren't due till the end of the month.
00:15:38My husband and I are...
00:15:39Relax, woman.
00:15:41They have no interest in your money.
00:15:44I'm here about the rather distressing experience you had this morning.
00:15:47Oh.
00:15:49Mercy.
00:15:55Look, I know these matters might be difficult for you to think about right now,
00:15:59but if you have any details about what you saw,
00:16:03it may be helpful.
00:16:05I heard a scream
00:16:07when I went out to see what it was.
00:16:10That's when I saw her.
00:16:12Her hand, she had...
00:16:14I know what she had, OK?
00:16:16What else can you tell me?
00:16:21There you go. Thank you, Twyla.
00:16:23Thank you.
00:16:27There was a man.
00:16:28He had a great big hooded coat on
00:16:30and he was holding his hand out to her like that.
00:16:34Did he speak to you?
00:16:36No, sir. He ran when he saw me.
00:16:39Did you see his face?
00:16:42No, sir.
00:16:48Hi.
00:16:50Please.
00:16:52OK, two apples.
00:16:56Thank you.
00:16:57You're welcome.
00:17:00Thank you.
00:17:04I'm afraid I've put your life in grave danger.
00:17:09My husband is inspecting me.
00:17:11I really have to be going.
00:17:14Tomorrow there will be a trial.
00:17:16The girl Joanna will be convicted of the murder of her parents.
00:17:20I have no interest in such things.
00:17:22Let me go.
00:17:23You believe in the devil, Twyla.
00:17:26Before the trial is done, Joanna will point you out as a witch.
00:17:31You and your husband will be arrested.
00:17:33After the trial is done, you will be convicted and then hanged.
00:17:37Unless we do something.
00:17:39No, no, you're not making any sense.
00:17:41Please let me go before I swear I speak the truth.
00:17:44I really need to be going. Let me go.
00:17:47No matter what happens, you must stay away!
00:17:56Please.
00:18:10Good day to you.
00:18:16Sheriff. Sheriff.
00:18:17What do you want?
00:18:18I just... I just heard some old bloke
00:18:20accuse the blacksmith's wife of witchcraft.
00:18:24An old bloke you say?
00:18:51I need to know what happened last night.
00:18:54A man spoke to me today.
00:18:57And he told me Twyla Smith is responsible for this.
00:19:01Is that true?
00:19:04Annabelle.
00:19:11Who's Annabelle?
00:19:13Goosey goosey cat.
00:19:15With a showy wand.
00:19:17Upstairs, downstairs, in my lady's chamber.
00:19:20He was sober and all,
00:19:22but he went and sped his breath away.
00:19:24He lay his left leg free from the cobblestone.
00:19:38William Smith?
00:19:42Josh Hawkins.
00:19:47I owe you the pleasure.
00:19:50It's not a social call, I'm afraid.
00:19:53May we go inside?
00:19:56Please.
00:20:02Please help yourself.
00:20:09My trust word has reached you
00:20:11of the heinous events that took place last night.
00:20:18Yes.
00:20:21I've never heard of such brutality.
00:20:24Indeed.
00:20:26Instances like these are particularly rare.
00:20:30What does the sheriff make of it all?
00:20:33He's making his inquiries,
00:20:34but I, however,
00:20:36am in no doubt that the devil's hand
00:20:38has had a part to play in all this.
00:20:40You suspect witchcraft?
00:20:42Not something to be taken lightly.
00:20:44I want to move swiftly to a trial.
00:20:47And you're recruiting jurymen.
00:20:49That's why you're here.
00:20:51I need hardly express the graveness of the situation.
00:20:58I trust I can count on your support?
00:21:00Of course.
00:21:02William!
00:21:03Oh, Josh Hopkins, sir.
00:21:08I didn't see you there.
00:21:15Are you all right, my dear?
00:21:16You seem somewhat distressed.
00:21:19Of course.
00:21:21It's just been a long day.
00:21:24What do we owe the pleasure?
00:21:26I assume you heard what occurred last night.
00:21:30I've asked your husband to perform his civic duty
00:21:33and serve as a juryman.
00:21:45I understand these matters may be difficult for
00:21:49delicate ears, my dear.
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:58I'm sure I will feel more at ease
00:22:00once the Lord's justice has been done.
00:22:03Of course.
00:22:05Then I wish you both a good day.
00:22:08Please,
00:22:10have a safe journey back into town.
00:22:19Something's troubling you.
00:22:27Today in the market,
00:22:29an old man spoke to me.
00:22:33He told me there would be a trial tomorrow
00:22:35for that girl.
00:22:37The man, he said,
00:22:39he said that that girl is some sort of devil
00:22:42and that we are all in grave danger.
00:22:45You do have delicate ears, don't you?
00:22:47But, William,
00:22:49he said that I shouldn't go
00:22:51and that terrible things will happen to us both.
00:22:56William, he said that
00:22:57the girl would accuse me of witchcraft
00:22:59in front of the whole town.
00:23:02You know what happens
00:23:03to people accused of such things, William.
00:23:05Yes, I do.
00:23:06But if you start making the ramblings,
00:23:07be crazy or mad, okay?
00:23:19Okay.
00:23:34A trader from north of the wall
00:23:35came through town last week.
00:23:37He left this here
00:23:38and he calls it jizz.
00:23:49I need a snake or something.
00:24:05Castro.
00:24:07The one and only blacksmith.
00:24:09Two tankers of your finest dishwater.
00:24:16Cheers.
00:24:19Cheers.
00:24:26The drink is bad
00:24:27and yet I acquire so much of your coin, blacksmith.
00:24:31That you do.
00:24:37All right, and lovelies,
00:24:38who's next?
00:24:47Cheers.
00:24:49Cheers.
00:24:54Thank you.
00:25:16William, William.
00:25:17William.
00:25:19Hello.
00:25:47Hello.
00:26:17William.
00:26:47William.
00:26:58What's troubling you, my love?
00:27:03Nothing.
00:27:08As crazy as the old man is,
00:27:09I agree that Charles and Maurice
00:27:10are no place for you.
00:27:14These kinds of affairs aren't pleasant.
00:27:17They don't pass for me.
00:27:18So just...
00:27:21don't trouble yourself with it any further.
00:27:38Who goes there?
00:27:47Who goes there?
00:28:17Who goes there?
00:28:47Charles.
00:29:17Charles.
00:29:47Charles.
00:30:17Charles.
00:30:47Sir.
00:31:07Order!
00:31:08Order!
00:31:11Bring the girl in.
00:31:17Joanna Fletcher.
00:31:39You are charged with the crime of murder on two counts.
00:31:44Of Aaron and Matilda Fletcher, your father and mother.
00:31:52Do you have anything to say in defence of these allegations?
00:32:00You may not want to speak, but rest assured, child, the Lord knows all the darkness in
00:32:08your heart.
00:32:10No amount of silence will keep that from him.
00:32:14But I want to die.
00:32:22Bring Edith Brown forward.
00:32:32The good sheriff informs me that you had the misfortune of finding the girl.
00:32:39Would you be so kind as to recount the events of last night to the honourable members of
00:32:45the jury?
00:32:51Just start at the beginning.
00:32:55I was woken by a loud scream.
00:32:59I stepped out of my home to see what the commotion was.
00:33:04That's when I saw them.
00:33:05Come with me.
00:33:06Where are we going?
00:33:07The man and the girl.
00:33:10To see the blacksmith's wife.
00:33:11Sheriff Crawford, sir.
00:33:28Good morning.
00:33:36I would have expected you to be at the trial.
00:33:39I might have expected the same from you, dear.
00:33:43I'm afraid my husband is sitting as juryman at that very trial.
00:33:48I expect he won't return for some time if you were looking for him.
00:33:51Well, it was actually you I wished to speak to.
00:33:54If you have a moment, of course.
00:33:57Of course.
00:33:58You and your husband serviced almost everyone in Dornbrook, which puts you in a very unique
00:34:04position to know the comings and goings in this town.
00:34:08I'm not sure I follow you, sir.
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:14It concerns me that there is more to this incident that has yet revealed itself.
00:34:20Perhaps you have heard or seen something.
00:34:27Well, my husband and I knew the family of the girl.
00:34:33We're as distraught and confused as anyone.
00:34:37So you don't know of any wrongdoings here in Dornbrook, no?
00:34:43No, sir.
00:34:48So what is this?
00:34:50A key.
00:34:53My husband's a blacksmith.
00:34:54He cuts many keys.
00:35:07This...
00:35:10This is the key to one of my prison cells.
00:35:17Well, I'm sure there's an explanation for this.
00:35:21No, there is.
00:35:22And we're going to find out.
00:35:24Get out of here.
00:35:25Come on, yeah.
00:35:37The man, he was standing in the street.
00:35:39I'm not interested in the man in the street.
00:35:43The girl was the one covered in blood, was she not?
00:35:50Yes, sir.
00:35:51The blood of her father and mother, who was so cruelly brutalised in their sleep.
00:36:00You may return to your place.
00:36:07After the examinations of Joanna Fletcher,
00:36:12and the heinous events that took place,
00:36:16how does a jury find the defendant?
00:36:22Guilty, beyond any doubt, for the crime of murder.
00:36:26A crime willfully committed against the laws of God,
00:36:29and under the influence of the devil himself.
00:36:32Order! Order!
00:36:38Joanna Fletcher, do you have anything to say
00:36:43before your sentence is heard before this court?
00:36:51So be it.
00:36:55So be it.
00:36:57Due to the revelation of your guilt,
00:37:00and of the serious nature of your crimes,
00:37:04it is my duty to bestow upon you the sentence of death.
00:37:11You will be taken from this place,
00:37:13and held in custody until such time,
00:37:17when you will be hanged on the neck until dead.
00:37:21Excuse me.
00:37:24Gipsy, gipsy, gander, with a shell I wandered
00:37:29Up the stairs, down the stairs, in my lady's chamber
00:37:34There I saw an old man who wouldn't say his prayer
00:37:39So I took him by his leg, and threw him down the stairs
00:37:46Do you have any comprehension of the serious nature
00:37:49of what's just happened here?
00:37:52I hardly think this is a time for childish sentiment.
00:37:56Mother says it's always time for games.
00:38:01Your mother is dead by your hand.
00:38:08Not her.
00:38:10My mother is dead by my hand.
00:38:14My real mother.
00:38:19Who is your real mother,
00:38:22if not the woman who raised you?
00:38:25She's here with us now.
00:38:35Bring her forward.
00:38:37The token to honor the girl is mistaken.
00:38:44The toiler has had nothing to do with this.
00:38:46This is a mistake.
00:38:57Do you have anything to say in defense of these allegations?
00:39:02I have no idea why she would think I'm her mother.
00:39:06I have only ever seen this girl in passing.
00:39:11We're too young to have even had a child
00:39:14that would be this age by now.
00:39:16This is obviously a mistake.
00:39:22I do not understand why or how the devil chooses
00:39:27to interfere with decent people.
00:39:30But rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this.
00:39:37What are we doing here today?
00:39:41Hold your tongue, blacksmith.
00:39:44How many innocent people have been sent to the gallows
00:39:48in these so-called trials?
00:39:50How dare you question my judgment.
00:39:53I act according to the grace of God.
00:39:56Take them both.
00:40:11Mother.
00:40:26The old man from the market was right.
00:40:29We can just talk to Judge Hawkins.
00:40:33We can understand.
00:40:35This is just...
00:40:37We've got to explain it to any decent, God-fearing people.
00:40:41This shouldn't be happening to us.
00:40:57Is it time to play?
00:41:01No, no, no, no!
00:41:03No! No!
00:41:06No!
00:41:17We might get around with it.
00:41:21Take these keys.
00:41:36Take these keys.
00:41:51The game is not great, but it makes me feel good.
00:41:54I'd be drunk to the bone every night if I could.
00:41:57There's nothing today that you all could dare.
00:42:00A big, friendly giant without any hair.
00:42:03Gastro, gastro, gastro.
00:42:06Gastro, gastro, gastro.
00:42:08Off on that.
00:42:10One more song.
00:42:12I'll beat you up.
00:42:33Oh, my God.
00:43:03I always thought the ale at Gastro's was toxic.
00:43:09We need to get out of town and find somewhere safe.
00:43:12The elixir I gave the guards won't last long,
00:43:14and soon they'll realise you're missing.
00:43:17You said this would happen.
00:43:20What's happening to me?
00:43:22I know you both have a lot of questions,
00:43:24but now is not the time.
00:43:26I've got to go.
00:43:29What's happening to me?
00:43:31I know you both have a lot of questions,
00:43:33but now is not the time.
00:43:35Stop right there!
00:43:58No!
00:44:29Stay with her!
00:44:36None of the men saw anything.
00:44:38I understand what you're saying,
00:44:40but the men were on guard the entire night.
00:44:42No-one saw them leave.
00:44:44They've escaped into the woods, sir.
00:44:47I lost them.
00:44:49Then go back into the woods.
00:44:51I'm sure you'll find them.
00:44:53I'm sure you'll find them.
00:44:55I'm sure you'll find them.
00:44:57Then go back into the woods and find them.
00:45:01I'm sorry, sir.
00:45:03I chased them for as long as I could.
00:45:07I want your men, Marshal.
00:45:09Back in those woods at first light.
00:45:11Find the blacksmith and his wife
00:45:13and bring them back here,
00:45:15or there will be consequences.
00:45:17Goosey, goosey, gather
00:45:21Wither shall I wander
00:45:23Upstairs, downstairs
00:45:27In my lady's chamber
00:45:31There I saw an old man
00:45:35Who wouldn't say his prayer
00:45:39So I took him by his neck
00:45:43And threw him down the stairs
00:45:53There he is
00:46:09There's evil taking hold of my town
00:46:11and I want it dealt with
00:46:15Move up the girls' execution for tomorrow
00:46:19I want the matter resolved swiftly
00:46:23What are you waiting for?
00:46:25Sir
00:46:33What do you actually know
00:46:35about witchcraft?
00:46:37Devil worship
00:46:41There is
00:46:43much outside
00:46:45the world you know
00:46:47that is hard to understand
00:46:50And people fear
00:46:54what they don't understand
00:46:56Understanding requires
00:46:58an open mind
00:47:00Something that men
00:47:02in power
00:47:04rarely possess
00:47:06It is far easier
00:47:08for them to maintain
00:47:10their order
00:47:12through fear
00:47:16Their religions
00:47:18Their laws
00:47:22are nothing more than fear
00:47:24masquerading as righteousness
00:47:28Fear of what?
00:47:32What's happening?
00:47:36The pages in this book
00:47:40contain
00:47:42the knowledge
00:47:44of many things
00:47:47Things that are
00:47:49hidden
00:47:51from our modern world
00:47:53A world
00:47:55built
00:47:57on a lie
00:47:59What lie?
00:48:03That the devil is something to be feared
00:48:17Fear
00:48:35I don't understand
00:48:37If not for the devil, then what drove the girl to murder?
00:48:41The words
00:48:43are a calling
00:48:45to the gatekeepers
00:48:47of the underworld
00:48:49A corner of existence
00:48:51where all souls end up
00:48:53And this
00:48:55is the key
00:48:57With this
00:48:59one would be able to
00:49:01traverse
00:49:03the vast ocean
00:49:05of the lost souls
00:49:07within
00:49:09And with the right focus
00:49:12able to find
00:49:14and return
00:49:16a loved one
00:49:18But there is more
00:49:20The underworld
00:49:22is home
00:49:24to far more than just the souls
00:49:26of mankind
00:49:30And the passageway between worlds
00:49:32is much
00:49:34sought after
00:49:36by the demonic
00:49:38forces within
00:49:42This mark will allow
00:49:44whoever travels to roam
00:49:46the underworld
00:49:48unharmed
00:49:50But to attempt the journey without it
00:49:52the traveler
00:49:54would become a vessel for those
00:49:56forces to cross into our world
00:49:58Why are
00:50:00we in the middle of all of this?
00:50:02Time is
00:50:04a complex force
00:50:06in this world
00:50:08But like most
00:50:10things, it is not
00:50:12immune to manipulation
00:50:18Drink in this
00:50:22When Saturn
00:50:24and the constellation Eridnus
00:50:26align in the night sky
00:50:30Opens a flowing stream
00:50:32Carrying
00:50:34whoever has consumed the Alexia
00:50:36to the last time
00:50:38Saturn and Eridnus
00:50:40aligned
00:50:4436 years ago
00:50:46I sat exactly
00:50:48where you sit right now
00:50:50starting out on a journey that has
00:50:52led me back to this very moment
00:50:58You want to know how
00:51:00you're involved in all of this?
00:51:08I
00:51:10am you
00:51:12William
00:51:20This is you
00:51:24You're saying that you're
00:51:28you're me
00:51:38All of this
00:51:40has happened before
00:51:42I thought my journey
00:51:44had found a happy ending
00:51:46We left this place
00:51:48and moved to the far northern reaches
00:51:50of this country
00:51:52Our daughter Annabelle
00:51:54completed our family
00:51:56and we were so in love
00:51:58And who are these little things?
00:52:00This is mummy and this is daddy
00:52:02Wow
00:52:04And what about
00:52:06this little one?
00:52:10She is our baby one
00:52:12She loves the
00:52:14colour red
00:52:16But that's your favourite colour
00:52:18It's hers too
00:52:20I kept the book safe
00:52:22hidden for years
00:52:24just as I've been told
00:52:26to do in order
00:52:28to keep my family safe
00:52:31Looking back
00:52:33I know that Annabelle must have
00:52:35known about the book
00:52:54The years passed
00:52:57We grew older
00:52:59and my Twyla became sick
00:53:12Mum
00:53:15When her time came
00:53:17Mum
00:53:19Annabelle was unable to let go
00:53:26Consumed by grief
00:53:28in a moment of madness
00:53:30she looked to the book for help
00:53:41Annabelle tried to recover
00:53:43her mother's soul
00:53:45But instead she brought something
00:53:47much darker through the door
00:53:51A parasite
00:53:53attaching itself to Annabelle's soul
00:53:57It destroyed her physical body
00:53:59leaving no trace
00:54:01of my beloved daughter
00:54:07The demon
00:54:11found itself to my daughter
00:54:15And now it's trying to reconnect
00:54:17with Annabelle again
00:54:20But Annabelle died
00:54:22Why?
00:54:26A part of Annabelle died
00:54:28but a part now exists again
00:54:33It's using
00:54:35girls like Joanna
00:54:37to draw you out
00:54:42It wants the child within you
00:54:47Driven by Annabelle's desire
00:54:49to return to her physical body
00:54:53You mean
00:54:55I'm already with child?
00:55:04If I can't stop it
00:55:09then you will both be lost
00:55:15Assuming that you speak the truth
00:55:19What happens next?
00:55:23We must use the same runes
00:55:25Annabelle used
00:55:27trying to save my Twyla
00:55:31and banish the demon
00:55:33back from whence it came
00:55:42So we should go back for the girl, Joanna?
00:55:49There are an infinite number
00:55:51of Williams in existence
00:55:53right now
00:55:55Across an infinite number
00:55:57of worlds
00:55:59a new one created
00:56:01With each journey
00:56:03we take with this
00:56:07Each one of us
00:56:09has added his own account
00:56:11to the book
00:56:13in the search for the solution
00:56:15to save Twyla
00:56:17If I follow the steps left to me
00:56:19and learn from the mistakes
00:56:23then we shall put an end
00:56:25to all of this
00:56:27Before this is done
00:56:29you
00:56:31will both make your own
00:56:33journey
00:56:35and in that world
00:56:37Joanna will be alive
00:56:39and well
00:56:41But in this world
00:56:45I'm afraid she will have to die
00:56:49I'm afraid she will have to die
00:57:19I'm afraid she will have to die
00:57:29I'll see what the Flaxfish Wife did to that girl
00:57:31We have to go
00:57:39Yeah, well
00:57:41I don't want to be stuck out here all day with you
00:57:49Let's go
00:57:51Let's go
00:58:17They're out here
00:58:19In these woods
00:58:21This could be a trap
00:58:23The witch could be watching us right now
00:58:25When you've stopped acting like an infant girl
00:58:27report back to the town
00:58:31They're out here somewhere
00:58:33Tell them, if they want the blacksmith and the witch
00:58:35they're going to need more men to join the search
00:58:37Okay
00:58:39Go
00:58:49This is where we will make
00:58:51our preparations
00:59:19Go
00:59:21Go
00:59:23Go
00:59:25Go
00:59:27Go
00:59:29Go
00:59:31Go
00:59:33Go
00:59:35Go
00:59:37Go
00:59:39Go
00:59:41Go
00:59:43Go
00:59:45Go
00:59:47Go
00:59:59What will become of the girl, Joanna?
01:00:05Leaving her to die
01:00:07is something we cannot do
01:00:11I trust myself
01:00:13which is why I trust the advice
01:00:15given to me in that book.
01:00:26For us to get to where we need to be...
01:00:31the girl will have to die.
01:00:34I cannot live with that.
01:00:37That is not who we are.
01:00:41Promise me, William.
01:00:44Promise me you will not leave me with that burden.
01:00:59I will try.
01:01:13I love you.
01:01:43I almost forgot this conversation.
01:01:56This conversation?
01:02:00The one we're about to have.
01:02:05Because you've been here before.
01:02:11If we just...
01:02:14If we destroyed the book...
01:02:18wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?
01:02:21It would.
01:02:23But at great risk.
01:02:26I have...
01:02:28come to learn, as you will,
01:02:30that there are dark forces at work
01:02:34in this world and in others.
01:02:38This...
01:02:40This book
01:02:41is all we have in the struggle against those forces.
01:02:48Without it, I fear we would be exposed.
01:02:52Twilight is all I care about.
01:02:55And should we fail?
01:02:57What then?
01:03:01I once thought, as you do,
01:03:04I thought that
01:03:06if I destroyed
01:03:08this page
01:03:09my love would never be tempted to use it.
01:03:13But that dark day came to pass all the same.
01:03:17It has taken me years to rediscover it
01:03:19in order to reverse what she did that day.
01:03:24But how is it possible about this?
01:03:27That is a question I cannot answer.
01:03:32All I do know is that the risk of destroying this book entirely
01:03:36is one we cannot take.
01:03:39It's the only tool we have to save her.
01:03:43Tell me how to save her.
01:03:45When the girl Joanna is hung,
01:03:49the demon will come for another girl.
01:03:53When that happens, I will bring her out here
01:03:56and we will use this
01:03:58to banish the demon back from whence it came.
01:04:02Did that work before?
01:04:03In your world?
01:04:10I fear that if you know too much
01:04:13about what is to happen,
01:04:15then it can
01:04:17risk it not happening at all.
01:04:20All I do know is that I will bring the girl here.
01:04:24And how will you know where the demon will strike next?
01:04:28What if we're condemning another innocent girl to death?
01:04:30What if we're condemning another innocent girl to death?
01:04:35These were made
01:04:38by my daughter Annabel.
01:04:40The love that was shared through these between
01:04:43mother and daughter is
01:04:46is powerful.
01:04:48They have a way of enticing the demon once
01:04:52held in the hands of a child.
01:04:55Twyla will not be herself.
01:05:02Take this candle.
01:05:04This candle will keep the demon at bay.
01:05:07Use what is left of it.
01:05:11I shall return before it's done.
01:05:24I shall return before it's done.
01:05:54Are you okay?
01:05:56I thought I heard something.
01:05:59It's just the wind.
01:06:01It was only...
01:06:24It was only...
01:06:55Help me.
01:06:57Please help me.
01:07:15Step back.
01:07:25No!
01:07:46Please!
01:07:47No, don't leave me!
01:07:49Please!
01:07:51Hey, you!
01:07:55Stop right there!
01:08:06What's that?
01:08:07Useless!
01:08:25William!
01:08:27William, shh!
01:08:55Where's the blacksmith?
01:09:04I see you lurking in the islet, witch.
01:09:08Damn you!
01:09:10I'll kill you!
01:09:12I'll kill you!
01:09:14I'll kill you!
01:09:16I'll kill you!
01:09:18I'll kill you!
01:09:20I'll kill you!
01:09:22I'll kill you!
01:09:24I'll kill you!
01:09:55Pretty, aren't they?
01:09:57Yes.
01:09:59Very.
01:10:01Seen anything in particular you like?
01:10:05Not really.
01:10:07I have some more here.
01:10:11They used to belong
01:10:13to my daughter, Annabel.
01:10:19They're yours.
01:10:21Are you sure?
01:10:22She doesn't use them anymore.
01:10:26Thank you.
01:10:27Yeah, you're welcome.
01:10:40Stop!
01:10:53Stop!
01:11:08We can't keep him here.
01:11:10No.
01:11:13We can't let him raise the alarm.
01:11:16Once we've got the help you need.
01:11:23Yeah.
01:11:39You're Sheriff Crawford.
01:11:41What can I get for you?
01:11:43The usual.
01:11:48News of the blacksmith and his wife, Sheriff?
01:11:50I don't believe that's any of your business, innkeeper.
01:11:55All this talk of witchcraft and murder.
01:11:59People are nervous.
01:12:01I was hoping maybe you'd have some good news
01:12:03I can pass on to these fine people.
01:12:06People are afraid to get up to dark.
01:12:07It's not good for business.
01:12:09Yeah, well I'm sure when I have some news
01:12:10you'll be the first to know.
01:12:12Right now I have other matters to take care of.
01:12:15Matters that I've been neglecting in town.
01:12:18Such as collecting taxes.
01:12:20Off local businesses.
01:12:25If I were anything at all, Sheriff
01:12:27I'd be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.
01:12:29No you won't, Gastro.
01:12:31Bet you will.
01:12:34Sir.
01:12:35What is it?
01:12:36We have the old man in custody.
01:12:37The one we've been looking for.
01:12:39He had this on him.
01:12:50Follow me.
01:13:04What happens when that candle goes out?
01:13:10Nothing good.
01:13:16You can't run forever.
01:13:18If people would listen, I wouldn't have to run.
01:13:23He should be back by now.
01:13:27Something's wrong.
01:13:48Back.
01:13:50Lydia!
01:13:52Lydia!
01:14:17Lydia!
01:14:47Lydia!
01:15:14What is this book?
01:15:17Evil, Marshal.
01:15:19Pure evil.
01:15:21Books are neither good nor evil.
01:15:28And there is no soul on this earth
01:15:32who should understand that.
01:15:35More than you.
01:15:38All that I understand, heretic
01:15:41is that the fate of that poor girl
01:15:44is not the doing of any book I know.
01:15:48Wait.
01:15:49Wait, it's not safe out here.
01:16:18And this little one?
01:16:21That's the baby one.
01:16:23She likes the colour red.
01:16:25They say that if you're strong enough,
01:16:27you can change the world.
01:16:31Can you do it, Hmm?
01:16:33I'd love to see you do it.
01:16:37I can do it.
01:16:40I'm ready, hmm.
01:16:43Come on.
01:16:44Come on.
01:16:50You're in the middle of the middle of it.
01:16:52Come on.
01:16:54I found you!
01:17:18You did!
01:17:20That's a girl.
01:17:21Now, it's your turn.
01:17:23Go!
01:17:33Go and get her.
01:17:39I found you!
01:17:43No.
01:17:46Oh, for pity's sake!
01:18:05Do not do this.
01:18:08Please, please.
01:18:10I'm so sorry.
01:18:37I'm so sorry.
01:19:06I'm so sorry.
01:19:32A dark time is upon us.
01:19:52I know that the decent, God-fearing people of this town sense it as much as I do.
01:20:00The devil walks amongst us.
01:20:05In our towns, in our streets, and in our homes, sin is everywhere.
01:20:13And it is sin that draws the devil out from his fiery home of damnation
01:20:20and lays the path out for him to corrupt our lives and the lives of our children.
01:21:20I know you fear this, and fear it you should.
01:21:49This heresy is a plague amongst our town.
01:21:55A plague I have brought to an end.
01:22:01I have found the heretic, the witch who walks amongst us, and I bring you salvation!
01:22:13Join with me, citizens of Thornbrook.
01:22:17Let us show those who are too weak to resist temptation that the devil is not welcome here!
01:22:30Anyone who allows a witch to escape or does not punish them with the utmost rigor
01:22:39can be assured that they will be abandoned by God and left to the mercy of Satan!
01:22:48In contrast, those who seek vengeance against Satan and his followers will be blessed by God.
01:23:03May the Lord God have mercy on your souls.
01:23:09Gods forgive me.
01:23:33If they're not back here in my prison before sunrise, the next execution order I sign will be yours, Marshal!
01:24:03Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

01:26:50I shall return once my task is done.
01:26:52Where are you going?
01:26:53To deal with the Sheriff.
01:27:20Any sign of them?
01:27:32No, sir.
01:27:33You make sure that there are men posted on every pathway and roadheader of this town.
01:27:37I will not allow them to slip through my fingers again.
01:27:40As you were.
01:28:20No.
01:28:51I will have your head for this!
01:29:01You're meddling in things you don't understand.
01:29:20I will have your head for this!
01:29:49Come with me!
01:29:59Where are we going?
01:30:18I will have your head for this!
01:30:46What do we do now?
01:31:06Patience.
01:31:07We should be able to look for Twyla.
01:31:09Patience.
01:31:16What are you doing?
01:31:17The demon's in there, I guess.
01:31:28This was your plan to lure out the demon.
01:31:30We can still save her, William.
01:31:37We can still save her.
01:31:52Search these woods.
01:31:54Now!
01:32:21What's wrong, Vincent?
01:32:33Are you okay?
01:32:34Vincent?
01:32:36Are you okay?
01:32:56Are you okay?
01:33:16Are you okay?
01:33:36Don't lose him to me!
01:33:46I've failed.
01:34:13Don't be a fool, Blacksmith.
01:34:15You don't understand.
01:34:18I don't need to understand.
01:34:20All I know is that the girl couldn't have acted alone.
01:34:24And that's enough for me.
01:34:42Once I'm done with you, Blacksmith, I'm going to hang your wife!
01:34:46Get over here!
01:34:48I'm trying to save my wife!
01:34:49Your wife?
01:34:51She's nothing but a witch!
01:34:55Get over here!
01:35:17Get over here!
01:35:45Get over here!
01:36:13Get over here!
01:36:31Get over here!
01:36:51Get over here!
01:37:20Get over here!
01:37:31If we just...
01:37:33If we destroyed the book,
01:37:35wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?
01:37:40And should we fail?
01:37:42Then...
01:37:44There are dark forces at work.
01:37:48This book...
01:37:50Is all we have in the struggle against those forces.
01:37:58Without it, I fear we will be exposed.
01:38:28We need to get far away from all of this.
01:38:32I just got on the page.
01:38:35This can't happen again.
01:38:39It can't hurt us anymore.
01:38:43There is more to this than I care to understand.
01:38:47We have to do things differently.
01:38:50For Annabelle's sake.
01:39:20This is the last message I will leave for you, William.
01:39:33Time is against me now, but not for you.
01:39:37If I should fail, then fate will come full circle.
01:39:42If it does, then the task will fall to you.
01:39:46The path is clear.
01:39:48Left to us in the book by all those who came before.
01:39:52Tonight, a chain of events will be set in motion.
01:39:56And four days from now, we will have our chance to save her.
01:40:02But should Twyla attend the trial, or the Sheriff interfere,
01:40:07then you will know that something went wrong.
01:42:07Holy shit.
01:42:37Holy shit.
01:43:07Holy shit.
01:43:37When lies were a chain to believe
01:43:40Unraveled tales of illusion and sin
01:43:42And a darkness kept beneath
01:43:44Open your eyes, watch it rise
01:43:47In plain sight it hides and dwells
01:43:49She walks the path alone, brings chaos in fold
01:43:52And now a soul will walk through her
01:43:56Hold back or fail and you will see
01:44:01This twisted power lurks beneath
01:44:06A light of fire and vengeful scorn
01:44:12Welcome to the house of the witch
01:44:20The people watch now on their daily
01:44:27All eyes come on the meaning of humanity
01:44:35Of suffering
01:44:38Now under watchful eyes
01:44:40A glimmer of light in the dark
01:44:43Disciple this riddle of time
01:44:45Now entwined fates embark
01:44:47Open your eyes, under the sky
01:44:50The stars align this day
01:44:52From the river of hope we cleanse humanity
01:44:55And watch her heart decay
01:44:59Hold back or fail and you will see
01:45:05All that's left beneath your feet
01:45:10Once more we sing this deathless song
01:45:16Welcome to the roadstorm
01:45:27One night in the roadstorm
01:45:31One night in the roadstorm
01:45:39I call upon the lords above me
01:45:41And the lords below me
01:45:44To show me a path that will lead me to a door
01:45:47That can never be opened
01:45:49Which leads to a room that can never be entered
01:45:53I want to talk to those inside that can never leave
01:45:58For one amongst them does not belong
01:46:02And I pray, I pray for them to return to me
01:46:10The people watch now on their daily
01:46:17All eyes come on the meaning of humanity
01:46:24Of suffering
01:46:27We rise
01:46:32We rise
01:46:37All eyes come on the meaning of humanity
01:46:45One more night in the roadstorm
