And tomorrow also happens
to be All Hallows' Eve.
335
00:38:26,199 --> 00:38:27,742
What's that?
336
00:38:27,826 --> 00:38:31,663
It's the most important date in the Satanist
calendar. It's like Christmas to us.
337
00:38:31,746 --> 00:38:33,832
Are you telling us
they've brought Catherine here
338
00:38:33,915 --> 00:38:37,586
-to celebrate All Hallows'?
- I don't know.
339
00:38:39,004 --> 00:38:43,383
But this Father Michael
is Catherine's godfather,
340
00:38:43,466 --> 00:38:46,511
and he's also the leader of their church,
341
00:38:46,595 --> 00:38:49,389
which must make her very special to them.
342
00:38:51,224 --> 00:38:55,228
Now let's suppose they plan
something special for her,
343
00:38:55,312 --> 00:38:58,857
tomorrow, her 18th birthday, All Hallows' Eve.
344
00:39:00,066 --> 00:39:02,777
Something which so horrifies her father,
345
00:39:02,861 --> 00:39:05,697
and he's one of 'em, for God's sake,
he comes to me.
346
00:39:05,780 --> 00:39:07,866
Well, all right, John, but why you?
347
00:39:07,949 --> 00:39:11,453
Because I'm supposed to be an expert
on this stuff, and he's desperate.
348
00:39:12,996 --> 00:39:15,373
Ah, it sounds like a fairy tale to me.
349
00:39:15,457 --> 00:39:19,044
But even if it's true, whatever it is,
she's safe here.
350
00:39:19,127 --> 00:39:22,088
- Nobody knows you're involved.
- Beddows does.
351
00:39:23,131 --> 00:39:25,008
And so does Catherine.
352
00:39:25,091 --> 00:39:27,844
I thought you said the girl
didn't know what was going on.
353
00:39:27,928 --> 00:39:30,722
On a conscious level, she doesn't.
354
00:39:30,847 --> 00:39:33,183
But what happened to her last night...
355
00:39:34,476 --> 00:39:35,852
Well, it's a little worrisome
356
00:39:35,936 --> 00:39:39,064
when she sees herself born
as some hideous creature.
357
00:39:39,147 --> 00:39:42,692
Oh, come on.
That's just a Freudian nightmare.

- Hello.

- David Kennedy.
- How do you do?
362
00:39:55,497 --> 00:39:59,584
They're two good friends. Er, look, Catherine,
I've got to go out for a while.
363
00:39:59,668 --> 00:40:02,837
Maybe Anna and David
keep you company, okay?
364
00:40:02,921 --> 00:40:04,923
- I would like that.
- Is that all right with you two?

Because her father asked me to.

- Where is this pact?
677
01:14:28,359 --> 01:14:30,403
It's in a cavity
678
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:37,785
behind the centre panel
of the altar front of Radleigh Church.
679
01:14:39,287 --> 01:14:42,290
Yes, you. (STAMMERS) I recognise you.
680
01:14:42,373 --> 01:14:44,876
You fetch it for me. I must have it back.
681
01:14:44,959 --> 01:14:47,545
You pathetic bastard.
682
01:14:47,628 --> 01:14:49,547
Do you think all this rubbish
is going to help you?
683
01:14:49,630 --> 01:14:51,132
- Take it easy.
-(GRUNTS)
684
01:14:51,215 --> 01:14:53,342
Catherine. Where is she? Come on.
685
01:14:53,426 --> 01:14:54,802
- Where's Catherine?
- Knock it off.
686
01:14:58,765 --> 01:15:02,518
- It's all right, Mr Beddows. Just relax.
-(WHIMPERING)
687
01:15:02,602 --> 01:15:06,481
Just relax. It'll be all right. It'll be all right.
688
01:15:06,606 --> 01:15:08,900
It'll be all right, Mr Beddows.
689
01:15:10,068 --> 01:15:14,363
Mr Beddows, can you tell us where they are?
690
01:15:16,157 --> 01:15:18,367
Mr Beddows?
691
01:15:22,622 --> 01:15:24,624
That was a bright move.
692
01:15:26,417 --> 01:15:28,836
We're not gonna get anything out of him now.
693
01:15:31,714 --> 01:15:33,966
Let's try the pact.
694
01:15:47,355 --> 01:15:49,440
What kind of a ritual?
695
01:15:49,524 --> 01:15:52,443
They baptise a baby girl
in the blood of her dead mother.
696
01:15:52,527 --> 01:15:53,861
Geez.
697
01:15:53,945 --> 01:15:58,032
Then they bring her up in seclusion,
like a nun.
698
01:15:58,116 --> 01:16:01,410
Then they baptise her again as the Devil.
699

Henry.
707
01:18:11,791 --> 01:18:14,043
- Take it, Henry.
- Don't.
708
01:18:22,593 --> 01:18:24,262
Hold it tightly.
709
01:18:39,443 --> 01:18:41,445
Stay right there.
710
01:18:56,252 --> 01:18:58,296
Have you any...
711
01:19:00,256 --> 01:19:03,301
Any other pictures...
712
01:19:04,510 --> 01:19:09,181

You...

You... You fetch the pact for me.
I... I must get it back.
715
01:19:20,401 --> 01:19:23,487
- David. Take it easy.
- You fetch the pact for me. I...
716
01:19:25,031 --> 01:19:29,243
- Sit down.
-(FAINTLY) I must get it back.
717
01:19:29,327 --> 01:19:31,954
You just stay there. Stay there.
718
01:19:32,038 --> 01:19:34,623
You'll be all right, okay?
719
01:19:37,001 --> 01:19:39,003
Okay.

Beddows!
735
01:23:43,831 --> 01:23:45,833
Here's your pact.
736
01:23:47,835 --> 01:23:49,837
Look at it.
737
01:23:50,879 --> 01:23:52,965
Come on. Look at it.
738
01:23:55,718 --> 01:23:57,803

- I can't.

Now, where's Catherine?
743
01:24:11,567 --> 01:24:15,195
Well, they would take her to the Mausoleum.
It's their temple.
744

- Where's that?
- The hill above Warburton,

(GROANS FAINTLY)
752
01:28:49,177 --> 01:28:53,140
- Mr Verney.
- Mr Rayner.
753
01:28:55,350 --> 01:29:00,188
Why subject us both to all this strain
and waste of energy?
754
01:29:00,272 --> 01:29:03,025
Why not enjoy life, Mr Verney?
755
01:29:03,108 --> 01:29:05,736
Why not enjoy Catherine?
756
01:29:11,617 --> 01:29:13,911
You know the powers that I possess.
757
01:29:15,037 --> 01:29:16,997
Think of the power that Catherine will have.
758
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:21,084
Think of the power that you could have
if you obeyed her spirit.
759
01:29:24,212 --> 01:29:27,799
When this ceremony has been performed,
I shall destroy you, John Verney.
760
01:29:27,883 --> 01:29:30,761
You are meddling in things
beyond your knowledge.
761
01:29:30,844 --> 01:29:35,849
I read the book of Astaroth.
And you just butchered Astaroth.
762
01:29:37,267 --> 01:29:40,354
The demons hate you, Rayner.
They're waiting for you.
763
01:29:41,271 --> 01:29:46,652
The circle of blood protects me,
as you know, if you have read the book.
764
01:29:46,735 --> 01:29:51,531
Very soon, Astaroth will live on
in this child and all will be well.
765
01:29:51,615 --> 01:29:53,325
No, I'm taking her.
766
01:29:54,785 --> 01:29:58,789
Then why don't you come into the circle
and take her?
767
01:29:58,872 --> 01:30:03,835
You really think this circle will protect you,
don't you? It won't.
768
01:30:03,919 --> 01:30:07,506
But it will, because this circle
stands upon a hill of flint,
769
01:30:07,589 --> 01:30:10,258
and flint is the sacred stone of Astaroth.
770
01:30:10,342 --> 01:30:14,930
But this stone of Astaroth
has the blood of your disciple on it.
771
01:30:15,806 --> 01:30:19,518
Now the demons will protect me.
