[tense music]

[old man gasping]

[tense music continues]

- I failed.

- Don't be a fool, blacksmith.

- You don't understand.

- I don't need to understand.

All I know is that the girl couldn't have acted alone,

and that's enough for me.

[swords clanging]

[tense music]

[swords clanging]

[tense music continues]

Once I'm done with you, blacksmith,

I'm going to hang your wife.

[William yells] [swords clang]

Get over there!

- I'm trying to save my wife!

- Your wife is nothing but a witch.

- [William Voiceover] If we just, if we destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?

- [Old Man Voiceover] And should we fail? What then?

There are dark forces at work.

This book is all we have in the struggle

against those forces.

Without it, I fear we would be exposed.

[chanter breathing heavily]

This is the last message

I will leave for you, William.

Time is against me now, but not for you.

If I should fail, then fate will come full circle.

If it does, then the task will fall to you.

The path is clear, left to us in the book

by all those who came before.

Tonight, a chain of events will be set in motion,

and four days from now we will have our chance to save her.

But should Twyla attend the trial, or the sheriff interfere,

then you will know that something went wrong.

- And the screaming!

Woke the entire street, the poor woman.

[footsteps tapping]

Terrible thing to witness.

- Worse for the girl's parents, I imagine.

[horseshoes clanking]

[coins clinking] Thank you.

[metal clanging]

- I heard you speaking with Christopher.

- He was telling me that a girl in town

murdered her parents last night.

- How awful.

- It's just that he was woken by the screams.

- I think I was too.

I woke up last night

and I was sure I could hear someone screaming.

- He said it happened near Gastrode,

that's on the other side of town.

Okay, so I'm gonna head to the market today.

[horseshoes clinking]

I need you to give these to Emma.

- Of course.

- Thanks.

[metal clanging]

[people chattering] [upbeat fiddle music]

- [Marshall] What's up?

[footsteps tapping]

- Sheriff Crawford is here, sir.

[book thuds]

[Johanna whimpering]

[soft ominous music]

[keys jingling]

- Judge Hopkins, sir.

- Marshall.

- Is this the girl?

- Johanna Fletcher, daughter of Aaron

and Matilda Fletcher, now deceased.

- I find it hard to believe that this innocent looking girl

butchered her parents in the middle of the night.

- No one is innocent, Sheriff.

Dawnbrook is a town rife with sin

and I intend to cleanse it.

[footsteps tapping]

[ominous music]

[Johanna whimpering]

- I know this girl.

She comes from a good family.

- Evidently you didn't know this girl

as well as you thought you had.

- And I'm just thinking that,

that there may be more to this, sir.

- The only thing we have here is an absence

of God in these people's lives.

- But if this girl were innocent,

then surely her conviction would be an injustice.

- Do not lecture me on justice, boy.

I have been dispensing the Lord's justice for years.

- This week's takings, sir.

- My daughter will deal with that.

Rose!

Do you know what the people used to call this town?

- No, sir.

- They called it the Devil's Door.

The people here knew only wickedness.

Ungodliness.

I purged this town of its witches,

and brought order to the chaos.

"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." Book of Exodus.

I won't have my years of hard work

undone by these godless peasants.

I hope you have good news for me.

- Yes, sir.

Seems the tanner's wife saw the girl last night.

She could bear witness to the crime.

- And this one?

- I caught this rat stealing whilst I was in the market.

Thought a few hours in the cell would teach her a lesson.

- Carry on.

Sinners, boy, every last one of them.

[people chattering]

- [Marshall] Where can I find this woman?

- The tanner's wife. In the market, sir.

- As you were.

[lively fiddle music]

[people chattering]

[feet scuffle]

[Crawford spits]

Peter Brown.

- Yes. Oh!

Sheriff Crawford, sir.

Beg your pardon, sir,

but the rates aren't due till the end of the month.

My husband and I aren't quite-

- Relax, woman.

I have no interest in your money.

I'm here about the rather distressing experience

you had this morning.

- Oh, oh, I see.

- Look, I know these matters might be difficult for you

to think about right now,

but if you have any details about what you saw,

it may be helpful.

- I heard a scream

and I went out to see what it was.

That's when I saw her.

In her hands she had-

- I know what she had. Okay?

What else can you tell me?

- There you go. - Thank you, Twyla.

- Thank you.

- There was a man.

He had a great big hooded coat on

and he was holding his hand out to her like that.

- Did he speak to you?

- No, sir. He ran when he saw me.

- Did you see his face?

- No, sir.

[foreboding music]

- Hi. - Hi.

- Let me see what you have. I'll take two of the apples.

- Okay. Two apples.

[foreboding music]

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'm afraid I've put your life in grave danger.

- My husband is expecting me.

I really have to be going.

- Tomorrow, there will be a trial.

The girl, Johanna will be convicted

of the murder of her parents.

- We have no interest in such things. Let me go.

- Do you believe in the devil, Twyla?

Before the trial is done,

Johanna will point you out as a witch.

You and your husband will be arrested.

After the trial is done,

you will be convicted and then hanged

unless we do something.

- No, no. You're not making any sense.

Please let me go.

- I swear I speak the truth.

- I really need to be going.

Let me go.

- No matter what happens, you must stay away.

[foreboding music]

[ominous music]

[apple crunching]

- Good day to you.

[intriguing music]

- Sheriff.

Sheriff. - What do you want?

I just, I just heard some old bloke

accuse the blacksmith's wife of witchcraft.

- An old bloke, you say?

[ominous music] [water dripping]

[keys jingling]

I need to know what happened last night.

A man spoke to me today

and he told me Twyla Smith is responsible for this.

Is that true?

- Annabelle.

- Who's Annabelle?

- Goosey goosey gander, whither shall I wander?

Upstairs and downstairs, and in my lady's chamber.

There I saw an old man, Who wouldn't say his prayers,

So I took him by his left leg,

and threw him down the stairs.

[metal clanging]

- William Smith?

- Judge Hopkins.

What do I owe the pleasure?

- It's not a social call I'm afraid.

May we, er, go inside?

- Please.

Please help yourself.

- I trust word has reached you

of the heinous events that took place last night.

- Yes.

I've never heard of such brutality.

- Indeed.

Instances like these are particularly rare.

- [William] What does the sheriff make of it all?

- He's making his inquiries.

But I however, am in no doubt

that the devil's hand has had a part to play in all this.

- You suspect witchcraft?

- Not something to be taken lightly.

I want to move swiftly to a trial.

- And you're recruiting jury men.

That's why you're here.

- I need hardly express the graveness of the situation.

I trust I can count on your support.

- Of course.

- William!

Oh, Judge Hopkins, sir.

I didn't see you there.

- Are you all right, my dear?

You seem somewhat distressed.

- Of course. It's just been a long day.

- Mm.

- To what do we owe the pleasure?

- I assume you heard what occurred last night.

I've asked your husband to perform his civic duty

and serve as a juryman.

I understand these matters may be difficult for...

delicate ears, my dear.

- Yes.

I'm sure I will feel more at ease

once the Lord's justice has been done.

- Of course.

And I wish you both good day.

- Please, have a safe journey back into town.

[footsteps tapping]

- Something's troubling you.

- [sighs] Today in the market,

an old man spoke to me.

He told me there would be a trial tomorrow for that girl.

The man, he said, he said that that girl

is some sort of devil and that we are all in great danger.

- You do have delicate ears, don't you?

- But William, he said that I shouldn't go

and that terrible things will happen to us both.

William, he said that the girl will accuse me

of witchcraft in front of the whole town.

You know what happens

to people- - Yes, I do. I do.

- Accused of such things, William.

- These sound like the ramblings of a crazy old man, okay.

[gentle music]

[people whispering indistinctly]

[foreboding music]

[people chattering] [lively fiddle music]

- A trader from north of the wall

came through town last week.

He left this here and he calls it gin.

[people chattering] [lively fiddle music]

[people cheering]

- Gastro.

- The one and only blacksmith.

- Two tankards of your finest ditch water.

[coins clinking]

Cheers.

[tankards thud]

[Gastro laughs]

- The drink is bad

and yet I require so much of your coin, blacksmith.

- That you do.

[coins clinking]

- Alright then, lovelies. Who's next?

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Thank you.

[people chattering]

- William! William!

Look it's him.

[door creaking]

[foreboding music]

[objects clinking]

[people chattering] [lively music]

[foreboding music]

[objects clinking]

[people chattering] [lively music]

- What's troubling you, my love?

- Nothing.

- As crazy as the old man is,

I agree that the trial tomorrow is no place for you.

These kinds of affairs aren't pleasant.

Judge Hopkins only asked for me.

So just don't trouble yourself with it any further.

[suspenseful music]

[dog barking]

- [Person] Who goes there?

[fire crackling]

[people chattering]

- Order! [gavel bangs]

Order!

Bring the girl in.

[door clicks]

[crowd gasps]

[guard's footsteps thud]

Johanna Fletcher, you are charged with the crime

of murder on two counts,

of Aaron and Matilda Fletcher, your father and mother.

Do you have anything to say in defense of these allegations?

You may not want to speak,

but rest assured, child,

the Lord knows all the darkness in your heart.

No amount of silence will keep that from him.

- I don't want to die.

- Bring Eda Brown forward.

The good sheriff informs me

that you had the misfortune of finding the girl.

Would you be so kind as to recount the events of last night

to the honorable members of the jury?

Just start at the beginning.

- I was awoken by a loud scream.

I stepped out of my home to see what the commotion was.

That's when I saw them.

- [Marshall] Come with me.

- Where are we going?

- [Eda] A man and the girl.

- To see the blacksmith's wife.

[suspenseful music]

- Sheriff Crawford, sir. - Good morning.

- I would've expected you to be at the trial.

- I might've expected the same from you, dear.

- I'm afraid my husband is sitting

as juryman at that very trial.

I expect he won't return

for some time if you were looking for him.

- Well, it was actually you I wish to speak to.

If you have a moment, of course.

- Of course.

- You and your husband serviced

almost everyone in Dawnbrook,

which puts you in a very unique position

to know the comings and goings in this town.

- [Twyla] I'm not sure I follow you. sir.

- Yet, it concerns me that there is more to this incident

than has yet revealed itself.

Perhaps you have heard or seen something?

- Well, my husband and I knew the family of the girl.

We're as distraught and confused as anyone.

- So you don't know of any wrongdoings

here in Dawnbrook, no?

- No, sir.

- So what is this?

- Um, a key.

My husband's a blacksmith. He cuts many keys.

[keys jingling]

- This, this is the key to one of my prison cells.

- Well, I'm sure there's an explanation for this.

- Oh, there is and we're gonna find out.

Give me that key!

- Come on, you.

[tense music]

- The man, he was standing in the street-

- I'm not interested in the man in the street.

The girl was the one covered in blood, was she not?

- Yes, sir.

- The blood of her father and mother

who were so cruelly brutalized in their sleep.

You may return to your place.

[footsteps tapping]

After the examinations of Johanna Fletcher

and of the heinous events that took place,

how does the jury find the defendant?

- Guilty beyond any doubts for the crime of murder.

A crime willfully committed against the laws of God

and under the influence of the devil himself.

[crowd muttering]

- Order! Order! [gavel bangs]

Johanna Fletcher, do you have anything to say

before your sentence is heard before this court?

So be it.

Due to the revelation of your guilt

and of the serious nature of your crimes,

it is my duty to bestow upon you the sentence of death.

You will be taken from this place

and held in custody until such time

when you'll be hanged from the neck until dead!

I hardly think this is a time for childish sentiment.

- Mother says there's always time for games.

- Your mother is dead, by your hand.

- [chuckles] Not her.

My real mother.

[eerie music]

- Who is your real mother,

if not the woman who raised you?

- She's here with us now.

[ominous music] [crowd gasps]

[crowd mutters]

- Bring her forward.

- Judge, Judge Hopkins, your honor, the girl is mistaken.

Twyla has had nothing to do with this.

This is a mistake.

[Twyla whimpers]

- Do you have anything to say

in defense of these allegations?

- I have no idea why she would think I'm her mother.

I've only ever seen this girl in passing.

- We're too young to have...

If she'd had a child that would be this age by now.

This is obviously a mistake.

- I do not understand why

or how the devil chooses to interfere with decent people,

but rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this.

- [groans] Like we did here today!?

- Hold your tongue, blacksmith.

- How many innocent people have been sent

to the gallows in these so-called trials?

- How dare you question my judgment.

I act upon the grace of God.

Take them both!

[people yelling] [tense music]

- No, William, no!

Stop! Someone!

[tense music continues]

William! William!

- Let me go!

[tense music continues]

[dog barking]

- The old man from the market was right.

- If I could just talk to Judge Hopkins

we could make him understand this is just...

we could explain it to him.

We are decent God-fearing people.

This shouldn't be happening to us.

[ominous music]

- Is it time to play?

- No. No, no, no.

No! No!

No! No!

- Twyla! Twyla!

[Twyla gasping]

- [Old Man] William?

You have to get her out of there.

Take these keys.

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps tapping]

[tense music]

[foreboding music]

I always thought the ale at Gastro's was toxic.

We need to get out of town and find somewhere safe.

The elixir I gave the guards won't last long.

Soon they'll realize you're missing.

- You said this would happen.

What's happening to me?

- I know you both have a lot of questions

but now it's not the time.

[tense music]

- Stop right there!

[intense music]

[guard panting]

[suspenseful music]

[Thomas panting]

- Stay with her.

- None of the men saw anything.

- I understand what you're saying

but the men and I have been on guard the entire night

No one saw them leave.

- They escaped into the woods sir, I lost them.

- Then go back into the woods and find them.

- Sorry, sir. I chased them for as long as I could.

- I want your men, Marshall,

back in those woods at first light.

Find the blacksmith and his wife and bring them back here

or there will be consequences.

[ominous music]

- There's an evil taking hold of my town

and I want it dealt with.

Move up the girl's execution for tomorrow.

I want the matter resolved swiftly.

- What are you waiting for?

- Sir!

- What do you actually know about witchcraft?

- Devil worship.

- There is much outside the world you know

that is hard to understand

and people fear what they don't understand.

Understanding requires an open mind,

something that men in power rarely possess.

It is far easier for them

to maintain their order through fear.

Their religions, their laws,

are nothing more than fear masquerading as righteousness.

- Fear of what?

What's happening?

- The, the pages in this book

contain the, the knowledge of many things,

things that are

hidden from our modern world.

A world built on a lie.

- What lie?

[intriguing music]

- That the devil is something to be feared.

[fire sizzles] [eerie music]

- I don't understand, if, if, if not for the devil

then what drove the girl to murder.

- The words

are a calling

to the gatekeepers of the underworld.

A corner of existence where all souls end up

and this is the key.

With this,

one would be able to traverse the vast ocean

of the lost souls within

and with the right focus,

able to find and return a loved one.

But there is more.

The underworld is home

to far more than just the souls of mankind.

And the passageway between worlds

is much sought after by the demonic forces within.

This mark will allow whoever travels,

to roam the underworld unharmed,

but to attempt the journey without it,

the traveler would become a vessel for those forces

to cross into our world.

- Why are we in the middle of all of this?

- Time is a complex force in this world,

but like most things, it is not immune to manipulation.

Drinking this

when Saturn and the constellation Eridanus

align in the night sky

opens a flowing stream,

carrying whoever has consumed the elixir to the last time

Saturn and Eridanus aligned.

36 years ago,

I sat exactly where you sit right now

starting out on a journey

that has led me back to this very moment.

You want to know how you're involved in all of this?

[intriguing music]

I am you, William.

[William scoffs]

- So, so you,

you're saying that you're, that you're,

you are me.

[intense music]

- [Old Man] All of this has happened before.

I thought my journey had found a happy ending.

We left this place

and moved to the far northern reaches of this country.

- You caught me, you're too fast.

- [Old Man] Our daughter Annabelle completed our family

and we were so in love.

- And who are these ones then?

- This is Mommy and this is Daddy.

- Wow.

And what about this little one?

- She is a baby one.

She loves the color red.

- But that's your favorite color.

- [Annabelle] It's hers too.

- I kept the book safe, hidden for years,

just as I'd been told to do in order to keep my family safe.

Looking back, I know

that Annabelle must have known about the book.

[gentle music]

The years passed.

We grew older and my Twyla became sick.

[Twyla gasping]

[mournful music]

- Mum!

- When her time came- - Mum!

- [Old Man] Annabelle was unable to let go.

[ominous music]

Consumed by grief in a moment of madness,

she looked to the book for help.

[ominous music]

[Annabelle speaking foreign language]

Annabelle tried to recover her mother's soul.

Instead she brought something much darker through the door.

A parasite attaching itself to Annabelle's soul.

It destroyed her physical body,

leaving no trace of my beloved daughter.

The demon

bound itself to my daughter

and now it's trying to reconnect with Annabelle again.

- But Annabelle died.

- A part of Annabelle died,

but a part now exists again,

it's using girls like Johanna

to draw you out.

It wants the child within you.

[foreboding music]

Driven by Annabelle's desire

to return to her physical body.

- You mean I'm already with child?

- If I can't stop it,

then you will both be lost.

- Assuming that you speak the truth,

what happens next?

- We must use the same runes Annabelle used

trying to save my Twyla

and banish the demon back from whence it came.

- We should go back for the girl Johanna.

- There are a infinite number

of Williams in existence right now

across an infinite number of worlds.

A new one created with each journey

we take with this.

Each one of us has added his own account

to the book in the search for the solution to save Twyla.

If I follow the steps left to me by the William before

and learn from the mistakes,

then we shall put an end to all of this.

Before this is done,

you will both make your own journey

and in that world,

Johanna will be alive and well.

But in this world,

I'm afraid she will have to die.

[ominous scratching tone]

[Twyla gasps]

- [Soldier] Stop falling behind.

[people speaking indistinctly]

- I've seen what the blacksmith's wife did to that girl.

- We have to go.

[ominous music]

[guard gasps]

- Yeah, well I don't wanna be stuck

out here all day with you.

[guard gasps]

[suspenseful music]

They're out here, in these woods.

- This could be a trap,

the witch could be watching us right now.

- When you've stopped acting like an infant girl,

report back to the town.

They're out here somewhere.

Tell them if they want the blacksmith and the witch

We're gonna need more men to join the search.

- Okay. - Go!

[suspenseful music]

[foot shuffling]

- [Old Man] This is where we will make our preparations.

[eerie music] [voices whispering]

[footsteps crunching]

- What will become of the girl Johanna?

Leaving her to die is something we cannot do.

- I trust myself,

which is why I trust the advice given to me in that book.

For us to get to where we need to be,

the girl will have to die.

- I cannot live with that.

That is not who we are.

Promise me, William,

promise me you will not leave me with that burden.

[somber music]

- I will try.

[pensive music]

I almost forgot this conversation.

- Which conversation?

- The one we're about to have.

- Because you've been here before.

- Hm.

- If we just, if we destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?

- It would, but at great risk.

I have come to learn, as you will,

that there are dark forces at work,

in this world and in others.

This, this book is all we have

in the struggle against those forces.

Without it, I fear we would be exposed.

- Twyla's all I care about.

- And should we fail?

What then?

I once thought as you do.

I, I, I thought that if I destroyed this page,

my love would never be tempted to use it.

But that dark day came to pass all the same.

It, it has taken me years to rediscover it.

In order to reverse what she did that day.

- But how, how is it possible without this?

- That is a question I, I, I cannot answer.

All I do know is that the risk

of destroying this book entirely

is one we cannot take.

It's the only tool we have to save her.

- Tell me how to save her.

- When the girl Johanna is hung,

the demon will come for another girl.

When that happens, I will bring her out here

and we will use this

to banish the demon back from whence it came.

- Did that work before, in your world?

- I fear that if you know too much

about what is to happen then it, it, it can

risk it not happening at all.

All I do know is that I will bring the girl here.

- And how will you know where the demon will strike next?

What if we're condemning another innocent girl to death?

- These were made by my daughter, Annabelle.

The love that was shared through these

between mother and daughter is, is powerful.

They have a way of enticing a demon

once held in the hands of a child.

Twyla will not be herself.

Take this candle.

This candle will keep the demon at bay.

Use what is left of it.

I shall return before it's done.

[ominous music]

[voices whispering indistinctly]

[voice giggling]

- Hey.

Are you okay?

- I thought I heard something.

- It's just the wind.

Come and sit with me.

[suspenseful music]

[water dripping]

[Johanna whimpering]

[suspenseful music]

- [Johanna] Help, can you help me?

Please help me.

[eerie discordant tone]

- Step back.

[intense music]

[metal crackling]

[keys jingling]

- I'm sorry. - Please.

[tense music]

- [Johanna] Please! Don't leave me!

Please!

- [Marshall] Hey, you!

Stop right there!

[fiddle music]

- Sir?

- Useless! [hand slaps]

- [Soldier] I think they went this way.

- William!

- Shh.

[footsteps crunching]

[birds twittering]

[ominous music]

[Twyla gasps]

- Where's the blacksmith.

[Twyla whimpers]

[suspenseful music]

I'm gonna see you back in the irons, witch.

[sword Scrapes]

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

[people chattering]

- Pretty, aren't they?

- Yes. Very.

- Seen anything in particular you like?

- Not really.

- I have some more here.

They used to belong to my daughter, Annabelle.

They're yours.

- Are you sure?

- She, she doesn't use them anymore.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, you're welcome.

[pensive music]

[sword scrapes]

- [Soldier] Stop!

- We can't keep him here.

- I know.

But we can't let him raise the alarm.

Not until you've got the help you need.

[ominous music]

[owl hooting]

[door creaking]

[footsteps thud]

- The good sheriff Crawford! What can I get for you?

- The usual.

[coins clinking]

- What news of the blacksmith and his wife, sheriff?

- I don't believe that's any of your business, innkeeper.

- All this talk of witchcraft and murder.

People are nervous.

I was hoping maybe you'd have some good news

I can pass on to these fine people.

People are afraid to go out after dark.

It's not good for business.

- Well, yeah, well I'm sure when I have some news

you'll be the first to know.

Right now I have other matters to take care of.

Matters that I've been neglecting in town,

such as collecting taxes off local businesses.

- If I hear anything at all, sheriff,

be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.

- Oh you will, Gastro, That you will.

[door thuds]

- Sir.

- What is it?

- We have the old man in custody,

the one we've been looking for.

He had this on him. [ominous music]

- Follow me.

[footsteps tapping]

[flame crackling]

- What happens when that candle goes out?

- [sighs] Nothing good.

- You can't run forever.

- If people would listen, I wouldn't have to run.

- He should be back by now.

Something's wrong.

[suspenseful music]

[Twyla gasping]

- Twyla! Twyla!

I'll be back.

- William!

William!

[Twyla gasping]

[ominous music continues]

[eerie discordant tone]

[voice laughing]

[voice laughing]

[voice laughing]

- What is this book?

- Evil, Marshall. Pure evil.

- Books are neither good nor evil.

And there is no soul on this Earth

who should understand that more than you.

- All that I understand, heretic, is that the fate

of that poor girl is not the doing of any book I know.

[eerie music]

[child giggles]

- Wait! Wait, it's not safe out here.

[child giggles]

- And this little one?

- That's the baby one.

She likes the color red.

[eerie music]

[Rose humming]

[eerie music]

- I found you.

- [laughs] You did. You clever girl.

Now it's your turn.

Go!

[armor clinking]

- Go and get her.

[Johanna giggling]

- I found you.

- Now.

For pity's sake.

[eerie music]

- [Soldier] Do not do this.

- I have to save her.

I'm so sorry. - Please.

[both breathing heavily]

[tense music]

[sword scrapes] [somber music]

[church bell chimes]

[William breathing heavily]

[sword thuds]

[somber music]

[townsfolk muttering softly]

- A dark time is upon us.

I know that the decent, God-fearing people of this town

sense it as much as I do.

The devil walks amongst us,

in our towns, in our streets and in our homes.

Sin is everywhere,

and it is sin that draws the devil out

from his fiery home of damnation

and lays the path out for him to corrupt our lives

and the lives of our children.

[keys jingling]

[tense music]

[Rose humming]

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

I know you fear this.

And fear it you should.

This heresy is a plague amongst our town.

A plague I have brought to an end.

I have found the heretic, the witch who walks amongst us

and I bring you salvation.

[people cheering]

Join with me, citizens of Dawnbrook.

Let us show those who are too weak to resist temptation

that the devil is not welcome here.

[people cheering and applauding]

Anyone who allows a witch to escape

or does not punish them with the utmost rigor

can be assured that they will be abandoned by God

and left to the mercy of Satan.

In contrast,

those who seek vengeance against Satan

and his followers will be blessed by God.

[suspenseful music]

May the Lord God have mercy on your souls.

- Gods forgive me.

[sinister music]

[explosion bangs] [people exclaim]

[tense music]

- If they're not back here in my prison before sunrise,

the next execution order I sign will be yours, Marshall.

[tense music]

[child giggling]

[ethereal music]

[child laughing]

[child laughing]

[child laughing]

[eerie music]

- You found me.

[footsteps crunching]

- One, two,

three, four.

[eerie music]

[footsteps thudding]

- Listen, we have to get back to Twyla.

- She's safe for now.

If we return without the girl,

we'll have no chance of saving her.

- You knew this would happen.

You knew and you said nothing.

- If I had told you what would happen,

then there's a chance it might not happen at all.

If you want to save her, you'll have to trust me.

- So what do we do next?

- I need you to take this.

Place your hand on the page.

And say the words, then lead the girl to the cottage.

I shall return once my task is done.

- Where are you going?

- To deal with the sheriff.

[ominous music]

- Any sign of them? - No, sir.

- You make sure that there are men posted on every pathway

and road out of this town.

I will not allow them to slip through my fingers again.

As you were.

[eerie music]

[bell chiming]

[dramatic music]

[Rose screaming]

[keys jingling]

[eerie music]

[gate creaks]

[intense music]

[gate slams]

[keys jingling]

I will have your head for this.

- You're meddling in things you don't understand.

[Marshall yelling]

[eerie music]

[suspenseful music]

[lock clicking]

- [Marshall] Come with me.

- [Soldier] Where we going?

[eerie music]

[William breathing heavily]

[voices whispering indistinctly]

- What do we do now?

- Patience.

- We should be out there looking for Twyla.

- Patience.

- Twyla!

What are you doing?

Demon's in there. Yes?

This was your plan to lure out the demon.

- William.

We can still save her, William.

We can still save her.

[suspenseful music]

- Search these woods.

Now!

[eerie music]

[voices whispering indistinctly]

[tense music]

[eerie music]

[women screaming inhumanly]

[Old man chanting in foreign language]

[old man groans]

[William yells]

[old man gasping]

[somber music]

- I failed.

[suspenseful music]

- Don't be a fool, blacksmith.

- You don't understand.

- I don't need to understand.

All I know is that the girl couldn't have acted alone.

And that's enough for me.

[swords clanging]

Once I'm done with you, blacksmith,

I'm going to hang your wife.

[swords clanging] [William yells]

Get over there.

- I'm trying to save my wife.

- Your wife is nothing but a witch.

[William yells] [swords clanging]

[both grunt]

[body thuds]

[somber music]

[Twyla breathing heavily]

[Old man panting]

[William thuds]

[ominous music]

- [Soldier] Look at this!

[tense music]

[intense music]

[gentle music]

- [William Voiceover] If we just, if we destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any of this from happening?

- [Old Man Voiceover] And should we fail?

Then, there are dark forces at work.

This book is all we have in the struggle

against those forces.

Without it, I fear we would be exposed.

[flames crackling]

[ominous music]

- We need to get far away from all of this.

- I just burnt the page. This can't happen again.

It can't hurt us anymore.

- There is more to this than I care to understand.

- We have to do things differently.

For Annabelle's sake.

[lively fiddle music]

- [Old Man Voiceover] This is the last message

I will leave for you, William.

Time is against me now, but not for you.

If I should fail, then fate will come full circle.

If it does, then the task will fall to you.

The path is clear, left to us in the book

by all those who came before.

Tonight, a chain of events will be set in motion

and four days from now we will have our chance to save her.

But should Twyla attend the trial

or the sheriff interfere,

then you will know

that something went wrong.

[dramatic music]

[books thudding]

[person sighing]

[soft, foreboding music]

- Holy shit!

[ominous music]

[gun bangs] [body thuds]

[footsteps thudding]

[church bells chiming]

[intriguing music]
