01x06 - The Offer

[bunniefuu]

He means you harm.

Could he do

any worse than this?

It appears this Jakub

contacted Father

in regards to a book:

De Vermis Mysteriis.

Mysteries of the Worm.

Enough is enough.

No story worth

putting your life in jeopardy.

Read for yourself.

It's Rebecca's writings.

She thinks we're cursed

and Father's mad.

Is it your child?

It is.

Put aside everything

you thought you knew.

Jakub and his kind are undead.

I don't believe you.

How can you not believe these?

The lack of bruising

around the punctures,

I'd almost say that

they were bites of some sort.

But not human.

I know of Jerusalem's Lot.

It was my great-grandfather's

mining town.

People tell stories

about James Boone

and those

who used to live there,

mostly to scare the kids.

I thought it was abandoned.

- Come on!

- She's upstairs!

There's no greater

sorrow for a parent

than to lose a child.

Loa?

Loa!

He'll see you now.

You harm them and I swear

you'll never see that book.

Oh, whaler.

What mercy

did you show Leviathan?

No!

Thy rod and Thy staff,

they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table

before me

in the presence of

mine enemies

Marcella!

Yea, though I walk

through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil

for thou art with me.

Marcella! Where are you?!

Marcella!

Marcella.

Grandfather's angry.

Tell us where you hid the book

and I can keep you safe.

Don't run from me, child.

I'm your father.

You're a monster!

Grandfather!

Where is the book?

Stop!

Father, that's enough.

Stay away!

Tell me where you hid it.

All will be forgiven.

Tell us, or I will bleed

the truth from you.

Marcella!

No! No

No.

Save your tears for Jakub.

You can beg his forgiveness.

Honor!

Honor!

No!

Oh, my God.

No, no,

no, no, no, no!

Father,

what's happened?!

Father? Father!

Father?

Open the door!

Father,

what's wrong with Loa?

You can't just

lock her up like that.

That's your wife.

What, have you lost all sense?

Perhaps.

But I know who I fought.

Even if

Phillip Boone is alive

I'm not so sure he was.

Surely you don't

believe this?

Logically, no.

But Mary

does have irregular wounds

hidden beneath her hair.

I found the same marks

on William Albright

and Francis Blair.

- You said they were bites.

- I said they could be.

Faith Pringle

spoke of bites.

She has scars on her body.

Did she say what from?

People.

From Jerusalem's Lot.

She said they

they drank her blood.

- How many people?

- I don't know.

I didn't believe her.

I thought she was delusional.

Martin, will you watch Mary

for an hour?

Let no one near her.

We need to speak

with Elizabeth Cloris.

George

Why me?

If Phillip Boone is alive

and comes back,

I'm not much of a fighter.

Fighting didn't

chase him off last night.

This did.

Father will come.

He will tell us what happened.

It's okay, Tane. Don't cry.

It's okay, Tane.

Father, is she really

She is.

Tane. Come.

We'll clean her.

And we'll choose

her favorite dress.

Charles.

She's gone.

What happened?

We went to the boarding house

as planned.

I put them to bed.

All together.

But when I went to check

on them, Loa was gone.

I suspected she'd come here,

and we rode straight away.

When was that?

Shortly after midnight.

When we arrived,

the door was wide open.

We searched every room,

every hidden passageway

in this terrible house.

You entrusted me with

the safety of your children,

and I failed.

I'll never forgive myself.

I saw Loa with Stephen.

I knew she was in danger.

You rode to Jerusalem's Lot

for your family.

You had to go.

I met with him

Jakub.

He calls himself "vampire."

Stephen and Phillip

are the same.

What does that mean?

Undead.

The wounds

on my daughter are bites.

They drank her blood.

No

That's what they do.

They'll use

my children to get to me.

Tell me everything.

Now!

I can only tell you

what I know.

Phillip and Stephen started

spending time

in Jerusalem's Lot.

I rarely saw them.

And never during the day.

One afternoon

the house was so quiet,

I presumed they'd left.

I went into Phillip's room,

and I found them

dead.

I was stunned. I couldn't

fathom what had happened.

Marcella said

they were sleeping.

I assumed she was distraught.

Confused.

I brought the child

home with me.

I put her to bed.

And I was on my way

to see you when

Phillip Boone

came to my door,

very much alive.

He said that

I must return to work

and never speak of

what I'd seen.

Or

he would bleed the life

out of me and Marcella.

That's when I knew

they'd become something

truly unholy.

You must keep Phillip Boone

away from Mary.

I've tried everything.

I can't stop him.

If Phillip is feeding,

he'll do so until Mary dies.

But if she has fed on him,

- she'll join him.

- Join him how?

She'll live for eternity.

A creature of the night.

Hunting humans

and feasting on their blood.

So, if she has fed

Then she is

no longer your wife.

I've heard enough.

You knew all this

and you let Charles Boone

and those three children

move into that house?

And I am damned for doing so.

Minister?

Where's George?

He went to town on an errand.

But he'll be back soon.

I'm thirsty.

May I have water?

Of course.

Can you bring it to me?

I don't have a key.

I have the illness.

That's why

he's locked me in here.

George fears me.

I'm sure he's just trying to do

what's best for you.

I'm dying.

Like all the others.

We don't know that.

You've gotta remain strong

in your faith, Mary.

Would you like to pray?

I would.

All power and glory is Yours,

Lord our God,

for You have called us

to serve You in love.

Bless Mary, so that she may

be able to bear this illness

in union with Your Son's

obedient suffering.

Restore her to health,

and deliver her to glory.

Amen.

I've been a good servant

to God, haven't I?

There are none better.

And will He welcome me

into His kingdom when I die?

If death comes,

I am certain that He Himself

will be your shepherd.

He speaks to me.

Who does?

God.

And what does he say?

He offers me His blood

so I will live forever.

In the dark.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

There are those who live

and those who feed

off that living.

The latter are cowards.

They find comfort and safety

living in the background,

the shadows.

Am I so different

from these vampires?

I want to say

how sorry I am for

writing the story.

Why did you lie?

I have a job

to write for a very

prestigious magazine.

It's something I've wanted

my whole life.

But I lost confidence

in myself.

I didn't think

that I had the talent

to create a story

worthy of this publication.

So I took yours.

And that was wrong.

You hurt us.

I know.

I made a terrible mistake.

And I want you to know

I love you both very much.

And I hope someday

you can forgive me.

- I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

- I started to worry.

Do you have the tickets?

Martin.

What is it?

Only one.

You and Henry are gonna have

to leave without me.

No. Don't do this.

You'd abandon me

and your son?

For for what?

For Alice?

No.

That's not it.

Something wicked

has taken root

in Preacher's Corners.

You know this already.

You have been trying

to tell me. I know that,

and I didn't listen to you.

They're my congregation,

Faith.

I can't leave them

in their hour of need.

There's nothing

you can do for them.

They're all going to die.

Why?

Is it Phillip Boone?

Phillip Boone means nothing.

I told you, the real evil

is in Jerusalem's Lot.

It's Jakub.

When he comes,

he'll bring the Worm.

I'm told that

Phillip Boone fears the cross.

Does Jakub fear it as well?

Jakub fears nothing.

May I?

I love you, Faith.

And I love our Henry.

That's not enough.

When this is all over

God willing,

I want to join you out west.

I wish I could convince

you that dying

is not your penance

to pay for our love.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done

Rebecca.

Father would like to see you.

Come in.

The children told me

about your story.

Is it true?

Did you take the job

as governess so that

you could write about us?

I did.

My ambition

got the better of me.

I opened my home to you.

I spoke to you in confidence.

And I broke that trust.

I'm sorry.

It's almost dark.

It's not safe to travel.

I believe Stephen

and Phillip may be near.

If they're coming for me,

it will be tonight.

Tomorrow,

you'll pack

your things and go.

Of course.

I understand.

Tell me

Has this tragedy played out

to your satisfaction?

Good day.

- Minister.

- Minister Burroughs.

Alice?

Hello?

- Alice?

- Do not speak to her.

You've lost that privilege.

I gave you my congregation

and my daughter's hand,

and this is how you repay us?

By bringing shame to our door.

I'm sorry, Samuel.

I will not speak to you

about our personal business.

This is between husband,

wife and God.

God disavowed you

and this town

the moment you fornicated

with that street walker.

You have lied before God,

and he has punished

us all for it.

That is not how God works.

The arrogance.

To know the mind of God.

I should drag you out

into the street

and beat you like a dog.

But Alice begged me not to.

Take your belongings and go.

Alice?

I am sorry that I was

not strong enough

to heal this terrible wound

that we share.

Minister Burroughs.

Good afternoon, Ann.

Faith left an hour ago

with her baby.

She was in a rush,

so she hired a coach

to take her

to the train in Cumberland.

I'm not here for Faith.

I'm here for a room.

George.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry

I don't feel well.

I'm sorry, too.

It'll all be over shortly.

No more pain.

I'm not afraid.

Whenever God's ready.

- I love you.

- Hmm

Why don't you close your eyes

for a little while?

May God forgive me.

I won't let you be like them.

- God have mercy.

- No! No!

Stop. Stop!

No! Stop it!

No!

You're safe now.

Don't slow down.

Please, go around him.

What are you doing?

Don't stop!

He might

need help up there.

Don't.

Is everything all right?

God help us.

You need help?

Run!

No!

Ah! No! Please!

No! Don't touch him!

Do what you will with me,

but I beg you

let my baby live.

Let me see it.

Give it to me.

Faith

You want this thing to live?

You know how little

Jakub cares for his children.

Please.

No one leaves

this room until dawn.

How can you be sure

Phillip and Stephen

will come tonight?

They left Loa

where I would find her.

It was a message.

They have something to say.

And much to answer for.

George.

Father

Why do your cousin

and uncle want to hurt us?

'Cause they are sick men.

I won't let them harm you.

They need to suffer

for what they did to Loa.

They will.

- Shh

- They're here!

Who's there?

Stephen?

Father?

I'm cold.

What is happening?

Let me in?

- Please?

- Oh, God!

I'm scared.

Honor?

Tane?

Open the door.

Don't let her in!

Come, Father.

Rebecca.

Stay here.

Lock the door.

Loa?

Loa?

Up here.

What's happened to you?

Look, Father.

No brace.

I don't need it anymore.

I'm free.

Come down here.

No.

You can't tell me

what to do anymore.

I'm with my new family now.

I'm one of them.

Hello, Cousin.

g*ns are useless.

You should know that by now.

What have you done to her?

I gave her what you couldn't.

A life with no shame.

You brought this upon yourself.

Did you deal with Jakub?

I've made deals with no one.

Liar.

We've been watching you,

Charles.

We know you hear the book.

Follow its call.

When you find it,

you will quickly learn

that the book is, uh

demanding.

We can save you from it.

Bring it to us.

What?

Why would I

bring you anything?

Because if you bring

the book to Jakub,

he will k*ll you.

He has no further

use for you.

You belong with us.

We're your family.

You're not my family!

You lured me here with lies!

You m*rder*d my child!

Find the book

and we'll let you

and your children live.

My daughter doesn't live!

Quite the opposite, cousin;

She lives forever,

and it's you who will die.

Bring us the book

and join her.

Drink from us and live.

No more curse.

The Boones will finally

have peace

and prosper

in the coming dark.

We'll be waiting, cousin.

Stephen!

Stephen!

Loa!

Loa!
