01x07 - De Vermis Mysteriis

[bunniefuu]

Tell us where you hid

the book

or I will bleed

the truth from you.

Phillip and Stephen,

they're to blame

for your wife's illness

and for all the others.

I knew they'd become

something truly unholy.

Fighting didn't

chase him off last night.

This did.

The real evil, it's Jakub.

When he comes,

he'll bring the Worm.

All that you believe

is madness

that is my book, calling you.

If she has fed

Mary is

no longer your wife.

May God forgive me.

Faith left an hour ago

with her baby.

She hired a coach

to take her to the train.

The children told me

about your story.

Pack your things and go.

You hurt us.

I made a terrible mistake.

God,

He offers me His blood

so I will live forever,

in the dark.

How can you be sure Phillip

and Stephen will come tonight?

It was a message.

They left Loa

where I would find her.

They need to suffer

for what they did.

They will.

Stephen?

- What's happened to you?

- I'm one of them.

I don't need my brace anymore.

Hello, cousin.

We know you hear the book.

Bring it to us.

Listen to its cry

and De Vermis Mysteriis

will lead you to it.

We'll be waiting.

Loa!

Loa!

Loa!

Loa?

Loa, why didn't you stop?

You have to mind me.

Blood calls blood, son.

When the book speaks,

listen to its cry

andDe Vermis Mysteriis

will lead you to it.

Where are you?

Answer me!

It's all right, Father!

Loa!

Come to me.

I can't.

I'm so sorry.

I couldn't stop them. I

- I failed you.

- No.

I wanted this.

You couldn't have.

They took your life!

Stephen's telling the truth.

I can feel it.

Mother's waiting for us all.

We can be a family again.

I want to believe that, too.

More than anything. But

they're using you, Loa.

You mustn't trust them.

Please.

You're suffering, Father.

I don't like it.

There's no pain here.

They can make that go away.

Don't you want that?

Come to me.

Give me the book,

and we can all be

together again, forever.

You don't understand.

I've seen what the book is.

Stephen told me

it's a new beginning.

He lies.

There is no birth

in their world, Loa.

It's all death in this book.

It's the end

of everything.

Give me the book.

It doesn't belong to us.

Save Honor and Tane.

Save yourself!

I'm so sorry.

For everything.

You saw the Worm.

The first God.

Now you know.

We have to stop it.

We can't.

One day it will happen, Charles.

The undead will find their book

and free the Worm.

It may be Jakub.

It may be someone

a hundred years from now.

Or it can be us.

You can free a God and

curry its favor. Imagine that.

You can rule

in the coming dark

or you can serve

those who do.

That call in your head

will become unbearable.

There's no honor

in fighting it.

You will break.

The book will win.

Give it willingly

and free yourself!

Free yourself!

No.

No.

He has found the book.

Charles?

My God,

what happened to you?

Where have

you been all night?

I found the book.

Jakub told me if I listened,

it would lead me to it.

You're shivering.

Come inside.

Father!

You're all right!

Where's Loa?

Stephen and Phillip

have her.

Is she like them now?

She is.

What are you holding?

Children

I need a moment.

Leave me, please

We'll give you some time.

Rebecca.

Stay.

Jakub told me

my madness

and the madness suffered

by every Boone,

is connected to this book.

It's not hereditary

like I thought.

It's it's this.

Jakub said that if

I returned it to him,

my children and I would

would be freed

from its curse.

That's De Vermis Mysteriis?

How do you know that?

It was in the letters

I found in the study.

My father brought

Jakub to Maine.

Jakub wanted to buy that book

from your uncle.

My father brokered the meeting

between the two.

There's also

a very good chance

Phillip and Stephen

k*lled my father because of it.

We cannot

let them have it.

Why not? If it'll free you and

the children, give it to him.

Do you believe in God?

I do.

If this book

falls into their hands

then God dies.

Give it to me.

- I can hide it for you.

- No.

Nobody goes near this but me.

Why did Father want

to speak to her?

Is he angry with us?

I don't know, Tane.

Phillip and Stephen will come

for this book tonight.

We have to protect it.

Why do they want it?

To bring darkness.

But we won't let them.

We have to keep them

out of the house.

You must help me.

We need planks.

And paint.

Constable?

Hello?

Constable?

It's Able Stewart.

Come in.

Sir, I have a message

from Mr. Boone.

He needs to speak with you.

About what?

We rode to Jerusalem's Lot.

There are people there.

They k*lled Rose Mallory.

They tried to k*ll me, too.

- Are they men?

- Men and women, sir.

I asked you

if they are men.

You know?

How many are there?

I saw five,

but there might be more.

They have followers, too.

Mr. Boone needs your help.

He's hunting Phillip and Stephen

Boone right now at Chapelwaite.

We'll need the minister.

Yeah.

I was going to him next.

Phillip Boone

did this.

Is she one of them?

She is.

Mary sleeps

most of the day.

She fears direct sunlight.

Help me wrap her

in some blankets.

Constable!

Constable!

Constable, come quick!

It's Faith Pringle.

Oh, no, no, no.

Faith.

Faith? No, no!

A knife!

A knife, damn you!

Oh, Faith!

Faith.

Oh, God. Oh.

Where's the baby?

Where is our baby?

What are you looking at?

You judge me?

I have witnessed your sins.

I have heard them all!

How dare you humiliate

my daughter like this!

You're a disgrace!

Behold!

This fraud,

posing as a man of God.

Telling you all

how to live your lives

from his sullied pulpit!

And all the while he was

fornicating with that woman.

Even had a

A child with her.

Our minister.

Take your wh*re and go!

That will be enough,

Thompson.

You sure this is the side

you wanna choose, huh?

Move on.

All of ya!

Martin

come with us.

I have nowhere to go.

We're going to Chapelwaite.

What do you think

is wrong with Father?

Keep painting.

You frightened me.

Is there something

you need?

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

That sound.

I don't hear anything.

What does it sound like?

Someone screaming.

Is it the children?

No.

I fear

the whaler

is no better than

his uncle and cousin.

We will go

to Chapelwaite

and take what is ours.

Your father's getting

more boards.

I'd like to speak with you.

We're busy helping

Father prepare.

Charles!

Are you all right?

You're ill, Father.

Let us help you.

Everything is ill.

Nothing is as it seems.

You should rest.

We can finish the work.

Night will be here soon.

Charles?

Charles?

What's wrong?

Charles,

you need to tell me.

The screams in my head.

The cries

The cries are maddening.

The book wants to be returned.

The book is making you sick.

You need to destroy it!

- Throw it in the fire!

- I tried.

It won't burn.

Show me.

My God.

What is that thing?

I can't stop it.

We're all going to suffer.

Worse than you

could ever imagine.

And what of the children?

Better they die

than to suffer like that.

I want to take

the children and go.

It's not safe for them here.

Where would you go?

I'm trying to tell you

there is no escaping it.

I'll decide what to do

with the children.

Honor.

Honor, we need to go now.

Where's Father?

I don't know. I'm taking you

to town. It's safer there.

We're not going anywhere

with you.

We're not leaving Father.

I know you don't

trust me right now,

but you need

to listen to me.

Your father is not well.

That book has corrupted him,

and I'm afraid

he might do us harm.

You're lying.

He would never hurt us.

We don't have time

for this now.

Find Tane. I'm going

to get the carriage, okay?

Charles!

What were you

doing in there?

I let the horses go.

Why would you do that?

It's not safe.

No one can leave.

Honor! Tane!

In here.

We thought you left.

Not without you.

Where's your father?

He was just here.

He went to the cellar.

He said he'd call for us.

He was whispering

to himself.

- I'm scared.

- It's all right.

You were right.

Something's

very wrong with him.

- Yes.

- Did you get the carriage?

He let the horses go.

Is he going to hurt us?

Honor! Tane!

Come down here!

What do we do?

Get a weapon. Here.

Take this.

Go to your room, lock the door.

If he calls for you again,

don't answer.

- Rebecca

- It's all right. Go.

Go on.

Just remember

what I told you. Go.

Charles?

Charles?

Charles.

Oh, God.

You're not enough.

It's the book.

This isn't you.

Oh God.

All we've done

won't be enough.

If we survive the night,

they'll keep coming.

Lions to cattle.

Charles.

Please let us go.

I've seen the order unravel.

The new world belongs to them.

I won't have my children

serve, suffer.

I won't leave them

to that future.

Charles,

please don't do this.

My father knew.

He tried to save me

from this fate.

I hated him for what he did.

I never understood until now.

It's the only way.

The only way to save us.

Don't be afraid.

Shh. Don't.

I'll call them now.

We'll all go together.

Children!

Charles, you're right.

I understand.

I'll bring the children.

You're right.

It's the only way.

Oh, thank you.

Don't frighten them.

No.

Good.

What is this?

How do you feel?

The children

They're all right.

And they must never know

what I saw in the basement.

Thank you.

I need to believe

that wasn't you.

It was the book.

It overwhelmed me.

It stole all reason.

The horrible things

it showed

Where is it?

You said the only way

to be rid of your curse

was to return it

to the undead.

What?

- That's what I did.

- You didn't give it to them!

It's all right.

It's with Mary Dennison.

She's restrained

in the cellar.

She's one of them now.

Able Stewart brought them.

If I think

for one second

that you're a danger

to anyone

I understand.

I'm grateful to you all.

The book

with Mary Dennison,

what do these vampires

want with it?

They mean to raise

an old god.

I had a vision

when I opened it.

I saw the terrible

future it holds.

Eternal night.

The undead rule

and man is meat.

How did you come by

such an evil thing?

Forgive me.

Forgive me. I I

I found it

in your children's grave.

It was buried with them.

I am so very sorry.

Nothing grew on that grave.

Freshly laid flowers, grass

weeds.

All rotted.

Marcella Boone

must have hidden it

in the coffin

at the viewing.

My cousin and uncle

they'll come.

Dear God.

What have they done

to you, child?

We saved her.

You don't save.

You m*rder.

Go away, woman.

Turn your back.

No, I've done that

for too long now.

May God forgive me

for doing so.

What's your plan, Mr. Boone?

We survive.

We boarded

the upstairs windows

and painted the second story.

And what do we do

after tonight?

Oh, my God.

Hunt them by day.

I shot Stephen.

Lead is useless.

Anyone know how

to k*ll these things?

Fire?

Steel?

We don't know.

Then we'll learn.

Gentlemen

My daughter Loa,

she may be

among them tonight.

She's not to be harmed.

Of course.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

The house is secure.

We should

hold the night.

I have no solution

for our long-term future,

but I will find one.

And I will bring Loa home.

I'm so sorry

for frightening you.

I wasn't myself.

I hope you can forgive me.

Will you ever

be that way again?

Never.

This wouldn't have happened

if we stayed at sea.

Well, the madness would

have found me, regardless.

It found my father,

far from here.

When the time is right,

there are things I need

to tell you about our family.

What about the woman

in the cellar?

What if she gets out?

I won't let her harm you.

I'm sorry, children.

Go and see if Mr. Dennison

needs anything.

Go help your sister.

You seem much improved.

I feel better.

Rebecca

What you did for me

and my family

You don't need

to say anything.

No. I do.

I told you to leave

and you stayed.

You put your life in danger.

You saved us.

I love your children.

I never should've broken

their trust.

Or yours.

That's behind us.

Let's not speak of it again.

What you told me about

your father and my relatives

if they hurt him, I'm sorry.

Whatever happened to my father,

he brought upon himself,

and us.

My family is every bit

as responsible as yours

for the evil we face.

But you are not.

Nor am I.

Neither of us deserves

this burden.

Oh, Lord,

we ask that You bless

and sanctify this home

as You blessed the homes

of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

May Your light and angels

fill this dwelling.

We ask that You

protect this house

and all who dwell within.

In Jesus' name,

we pray. Amen.

Amen.

I've blessed every room

in the house.

Well, surely

God stands with us.

Which God?

There seems to be

a choice these days.

I am not sure that

our God exists at all.

Martin,

that's grief speaking.

I've buried two children

and the woman that I love.

All of them, innocents.

I betrayed my wife,

I've ruined what little

remained of her.

Yet I, a blackguard

and a liar, I live?

Where is God's love

in that design?

I'm sorry about Faith.

And your child.

Thank you.

There's not many

that would see their way

to sympathy for them.

Father says

we should all eat.

Thank you.

Minister

We believe our mother

is waiting for us in Heaven.

One day we'll be reunited.

My sister, Loa

Will these undead

find their way to Heaven?

- I

- She's good.

She made a mistake.

I'm sure she is.

We all make mistakes.

God knows

we're not perfect.

He gave us free will,

knowing that we would

make poor decisions

from time to time.

And I am sure that

when it comes time

for your sister

to pass over,

that God will make a place

in Heaven for her.

Thank you.

What are you peeking at,

silly man?

I didn't see anything.

I swear.

That's because you're

too far away.

No, no, no, no!

Please, please!

Please! No!

Who do you pray to, farmer?

Help me.

Help me, please!

Help me! Help me!

Where am I?

Chapelwaite.

Why?

We're gonna stop Stephen

and Phillip Boone.

I'm gonna k*ll Phillip

for hurting you.

You hurt me.

These hurt me.

They're for your protection.

And for the protection

of others.

Let me out of here!

Don't you love me anymore?

If you love me,

you'll feed me.

Give me your blood.

I'm hungry.

So hungry.

No.

Why did you stop?

They're here!

They're just outside the gate!

An ill choice, nephew!

Do you think this will stop us

from taking the book?

How long can you

fight it, Charles?

This is your last chance!

End your suffering!

And your children's!

Charles Boone! Answer us!

Give us the book!

Come out!

Or I swear I'll Ah!

Now!

Father!

Reset! Forward!

Heave!

Father!

Father!

k*ll them!

k*ll them all!

Damn your blood.

Father!

No!

I will bleed you dry, cousin.

All of you.

Oh, dear God.

Is it over?

Not yet.

It's Jakub.

Able, ride for town.

Try to get help.

I believe I'm of

more use here, sir.

You saw them

in Jerusalem's Lot.

You know

how many there are.

Please.

Yes, sir.
