All language subtitles for Messiah 4x03 - The Harrowing (English (UK))

The trail of blood leads from
up here to the altar. Emerson...

Simon.

Simon Emerson

is disabled

with the iron bar,
probably across the legs.

Can't run, can't escape.

Reaches here.

Teeth.

He crawls towards the altar.

The iron bar is dropped here.

And the killer...
climbs up the scaffolding

and throws the stone

off the platform.

It hits Emerson in the chest,

crushing his rib cage.

Father. DCI Metcalfe.

Every time I close my eyes...

He used to be the priest here. Simon.

He prayed here every day.

What was he like as a person?

As a person? A great Christian,
and a flawed human being.

Like all of us.

Um, committing murder is a wee
bit more than flawed, Father.

He believed he was trying
to end the suffering of a child.

I'm not excusing what he did.

But you understand it? No.

I pitied him and I prayed for him.
That is my job.

Can you pity someone who

can do that to another person?

We're capable of terrible things.

If we weren't,

we wouldn't be people.
We'd be angels.

Understanding and forgiveness
don't always depend on us.

I recommend thee, dear brother,
to Almighty God.

Through his most tender mercy,
may the Lord pardon thee all thy sins

and transgressions
thou hast committed.

Mayest thou be a stranger
to all that is punished by darkness,

chastised by flames

and condemned by torments.

How did the killer know

How did they know

the victims' sins?

I've been over the body.

There's nothing.

I'm sorry, Red.

We need to find Richard Eccleshall.

He doesn't have an alibi for
the other murders,

he won't have one for this.

I'll organise door-to-door
in the area,

see if anybody's seen him.

Um...you go ahead, Tim.

Will you start the prep for me?
Sure.

I think you said everything you
needed to say this afternoon.

Please, Rachel. We need to talk.

There's nothing left to say.

I've tried to tell you.

So many times. Tell me what?

The one thing I should
have told you,
the one thing I couldn't tell you.

I went to the college tonight.

Where Izzy...

Every time I go there,

I keep expecting to see her walk
around the corner.

Her books under her arms,
laughing and talking to...

It's my fault, Rachel.

What's your fault?

Izzy.

Jack.

After the hoarders and the spenders,
Dante leaves circle four and
crosses the River Styx. Yes?

And the Styx serves two purposes.

It functions as a circle,
circle five, the wrathful,
the last of the hot-blooded sins.

Because they were angry in life,
they lie in the river
of anger in death.

They fought each other with teeth,
they tore each other limb from limb.

And the river also separates
upper hell from lower hell.
What's the difference?

Lower hell's a much darker place,
where the torments and
physical suffering increases.

The further you journey down
through hell, the worse the
sins and the punishments are.

The killer is leading us from
victim to victim, circle to circle.

Why stop there?

Does anything change for Dante?

It's about to.

The sinner that Dante met
in the fifth circle was actually
somebody he knew from his own life.

Dante hated them.

He despised everything
they stood for.

And the river is the circle?

Beneath the slimy top
the sighing souls that make
the water bubble at the surface.

Dante knew the sinner in
this circle.

He met them in life. He hated them.

He wanted them to suffer beyond
what they already suffered in hell.

Which means? Did the killer
know the other victims?

The river

is the circle.

The river.

The River Thames.

238 miles of river.

476 miles of river bank.

Right.

For a second there I thought
it was going to be difficult.

You look like hell.

Not funny, Duncan.

Sorry.

I sent Vickie home

and you should get some sleep.

At the church...

..what happened?

I don't understand
why the killer is doing this.

It's in there.

But I'm not...

I can't see it.

This is all I can do.

Abandon hope.

That's what it says above
the gates into hell, right?

But the thing is,

we don't give up hope.

We fail. We try again.

That's life.

You give up hope,

you might as well be dead.

I think you're missing
the point of Dante, Duncan.

No.

I think you are.

We're not dead.

Yet.

Don't stay all night.

I have read Dante, Professor. I have
read it over and over and nowhere
does a sinner ask to be saved.

There is no reference to "Save me".

The souls in the Inferno are
already dead, they're already lost.

They might want to be saved but
they accept that their sins in life
have led them to torment in death.

Why is Dante
journeying through hell?

A journey through hell is
called a harrowing.

The notion of hell's been around for
a very long time, almost forever.

In Egypt there was Anubis,
who was the god of Necropolis.

The Greeks called it Hades or
Tartaros, the home of fallen angels.

In the Old Testament, it's Gehenna,
a place of torment and fire
where sinners are punished.

But by New Testament times,
the punishment for sinners
is deemed to be eternal.

So Dante writes The Divine Comedy
as a warning to all Christians.
How did he end up in hell?

He wakes from a dream and finds
himself lost in an unknown country.

Hell. But he's not dead?

No. Nel mezzo del cammini
di nostra vita.

In the middle of
the journey of our life,
nostra vita, our life, not my life.

Dante is speaking to and for us.

It's catechism.

It's a system of instruction.

That's why Dante writes the poem
in the vernacular, so the man
in the street can understand it

and learn something from it.

It's a map.

It's a guide.

Dante was going through hell,
through the screams and the torment

and the anguish
of these damned souls.

Is that what
the killer is trying to do?

Find a way through hell?

Yes?

DI Warren.

I think we've found our crime scene.

Yeah?

What gave you that idea?

Tim.

On it.

No "Save me" where she was killed.

Grace Eccleshall.

Jesus. Right.
Is there any sign of haemorrhaging?

Um, sinus and airways.

The struggle for air forces water
into the sinuses, coughing triggers

an inhalation reflex, which
forces more water into the lungs.

The pressure trauma to the
sinuses and airways is immense.

She was conscious
when she was drowning.

Her tendons were cut. Inside of her
arms, back of her legs, ankles.
She wouldn't have had a hope.

She'd have drowned the
moment she hit the water.

OK, bag her up. We're going to be
back in about 15 minutes...

Dante knew the sinners
in the circle.

He knew them from life.

He hated them.

Richard Eccleshall killed his wife.

He knew her, he hated her, he
killed her. It doesn't make sense.

You're looking for sense
where there is none.

Why would he kill his wife, Duncan?

Didn't you meet her?

I don't get it, Rachel.

I just can't see the sense.

Well, that's easy for me.

I just need to see what
they've done to the person.

You need to see past that.
I can see what the killer's done.

It's there in front of me.
I can't see the why.

I'm not doing justice to them,

not doing justice to their families.

Red, if it was my child that was
murdered, I'd want it to be you.

If it was my daughter that was...

Do we know who assaulted her?
A female student.

MUSIC: "The Real Slim Shady"
by Eminem

# Won't the real Slim Shady
Please stand up, please stand up

Would the real Sara Knightley
please stand up?

She attacked me. Grace hit me first.

Where is he? Your husband's a wanker.

Nobody lays a finger on me.
Do you hear me? Nobody.

She started it, so you
decided to finish it?

When I left the bar, she was gone.
I went straight home. The next thing
I know, you guys drag me out of bed.

A witness saw Grace following
you along the river.
Why was she following you?

Were you one of his lies, Sara?

What? I don't know what you mean.

You're sleeping with Eccleshall.

Was. Past tense.
Was he here last night?

No.

You know why I was out last night?
I was celebrating.

He's out of my life for good.
I told him to get lost.

When was the last time you saw him?
He was here on Sunday night.

He left about three again.
He doesn't...

He's never once stayed all night.

It's one of...

We used to laugh at her, at Grace.

Mad Dog, we called her at college.

It's all a front. Maybe you
and him planned it between you.

You lure her to the river
and he kills her.

Why? Why would he kill her?

After everything he's done, after
everything they've been through
together. Who did he run back to?

She needed him.

Yeah, they needed each other.

He'd never leave her. He couldn't.

He'd be lost without her.
She's right.

Why would he kill his wife?
Knocking up your students is hardly
a declaration of undying love.

He'd be lost without her.

Help me.

I didn't do it, I swear.

Against the cage, against
the cage, now! I didn't do it.

All right, you heard her. Against
the cage. I didn't kill Grace.

Keep your hands where I can see
them. Help me, please.

Oh, yeah?
You've come to the right place.

All right, let's get him in
interview one.

I'll deal with this.

Come on, Richard, that's it,
take it easy.

It's not true, is it?

It's just a trick
to get me to hand myself in.

Right?

Tell me it's just a trick.

What was she doing by the river?

Well, what was she doing there?

She never walks alone by the river.

She...she never.

She was following Sara Knightley.

She thought Sara had seen you
in the last few days and probably
knew where you were staying.

No! Please. Please, make it stop.

This... I want her back.

I wish she could hear me.

Can I see her?

Please, I have to see her.

I have to tell her.

Please, please, I have to,
can I see her?

I have to see her again.

I have to say goodbye.

Go home, Richard.

We'll do this tomorrow.

Tell me you're joking. We can
connect him to the first two murders.

And he doesn't have an alibi for
at least three of the other murders.

I think Grace was meant
to be his contrapasso.

Maybe it's Richard Eccleshall the
killer knew and hated. Not Grace.

She was murdered as his punishment.

Maybe the killer's trying to
tell us that there are worse
things than dying. Like what?

Living in a hell of your own making.
If Eccleshall didn't do it, who did?

Rachel.

Rachel!

Call Red. Hi, yeah. It's Nancy.

Miss Roberts, sorry, I just
need a signature. Hold on.

What's she doing here?
She's a journalist.
Have you no respect for the dead?

If you want to phone your story in,
you do it outside, OK? No, look...
What have you told her?

Her brother died in a car accident.
We're just releasing his body.

I'm sorry, it's just...

Walking with both feet in
your mouth at the same time.
That's a real talent.

She did a ride along with us
when I was in Vice.

Onwards and downwards.

I'm sorry. It's fine.

These are the photographs
we took by the river.

These slashes we thought
were just random

or caused by the body being
caught in the propeller of a boat.

Tim, thanks.

Well, then we washed the body.

Guess we've found our signature.

And there's something else.

The tendons in the arms and
legs weren't just slashed.

Serrated, regular cuts,
a long blade leaving dozens of...

almost teeth marks.

That is wrong on so many levels.

With teeth

they tore each other limb from limb.

In the last circle,

Dante knew the sinner.

He hated him.
He wanted to see him punished.

How does that relate to Grace?

How does the killer know
Grace and the other sinners?

What's next, Professor?

Circle six, where the
heretics are punished.

The heretics believed the body
did not contain a soul.

They were people who went against
the belief system of the time.

And in Dante's time that
was religion.

There's no such thing as heresy now.
Not even one prevailing religion.

Where were heretics punished?

In tombs.

The graves here served
a much crueller purpose.

For scattered everywhere
among the tombs were flames
which kept them glowing hot.

Each tomb had its lid pushed to
one side, and from within came forth

such fierce laments, that I
was sure within were tortured souls.

Tombs.

A graveyard? A prison?

There has to be something

that links the victims' lives,
and we're not seeing it.

Cross-reference again!

Check the diaries, check the
address books. Check the computers.

There's got to be something.

One thing that links them all.

Something!

Daniel?

Where's your mother?

What?

What did I do? Nothing.

Your sister used to eat
her breakfast like that.

I need a lift.
Look, Daniel, I made a mistake.

I made a big mistake.

And what's important is...

I want you to know that I'm sorry
that I wasn't here for
you and Jacqueline.

I want you to know,
I'm going to take care of you.

I, I, I.
You're going to take care of me?

All you think about is yourself.

What? Listen to yourself.

Open your eyes, Dad.

How did you ever get
to be a detective?

You can never see
the pain around you.

You've never seen mine,
you've never seen Mum's.

And you never saw Izzy's.

You know, I actually thought
when Izzy died you might...

Danny!

John Giardello had a meeting
with his brother today. Brother?

Rico. The black sheep of the family.

The only person who is going to
miss this ring is in this room.

Thanks.

We were going to move.

We didn't think we'd be able to
stand being in this restaurant.

Too many memories?

There's no such thing
as too many memories.

According to John's diary, he was
supposed to meet his brother today.

Was that going to be here?
Today is Rico's anniversary.

We lost Rico six years ago.

He collapsed in the street.
Brain tumour.

Identifying the body, the inquest,
it was too much for John.

They hadn't spoken for years.

John never forgave himself for that.

Am I under arrest?
Of course not. Then get lost.

I just want to ask you one question,
then I'm out of your life, I promise.

I know it might sound odd,
but did Paula have any unexplained
or sudden deaths in her family?

Is this a wind-up?

Paula had no family. Both her
parents died a few years back.

Both? They were in their seventies.

Her mother died of a stroke,
her father a heart attack.

I think it was because of
her brother Jim, though.

Paula Scott's parents died of grief.

Her brother Jim was a junkie. He died
of an overdose about four years ago.

John Giardello's brother
died in the street.
The Fullertons lost a daughter.

Deaths in the family.

Is that the common link
between the victims?

Everyone has deaths in the family.
These deaths are about life being
ripped off the face of the Earth.

Miss Roberts? My brother didn't
specify any music. He never...

We always think that there's plenty
of time to prepare for these moments.

He was always very stubborn
and opinionated about music.

Have you given any thought to
flowers? Frank hates flowers.

He's allergic to them.
They make him...

The service will last for 30 minutes.

We generally start with prayers.

The vicar will give his eulogy.

He will then invite you to say
a few words about your brother.

Many people actually do find
it's the most personal way of
saying farewell to a loved one.

'I need anything you've got
on the following names.'

Rico Giardello, died March 1999.

Jim Scott, died November 2001.

Mary Fullerton, murdered 1995.

Yeah.

And there's another two.

Grace Eccleshall
and Catherine McArdle.

No, that's fine. Great. Oh, er...

And can you send me a list of
all violent deaths reported
in the last fortnight?

Whatever you're going to do,

get it over with.

You know,

before all of this
I used to have a normal life.

And then... Isabel?

Now...I'm not so sure.

Oh, you're not so sure?

You never really have
a proper conversation.

Then one day,

it's too late.

Unbelievable.

You're such a selfish,
selfish, petty man. You know that?

All the things that you still have
and you can't figure out how
to talk to your family.

It all fell apart.

And you didn't see it coming.

And you know what the joke is?

It's all your own fault.

What happened was horrible.
You know what?

You pick yourself up
and you move on.

Oh, you move on?

You're standing still.
You are treading water.

And look at you.

You know what you're good at? You're
good at feeling sorry for yourself.

I came here to find out if
you'd had sex with Isabel,

like you did with Catherine McArdle.

Like you did with
half your first years.

My daughter wouldn't touch you with
a bargepole, not in a million years.

You think I couldn't have had her?
I think she wasn't that desperate.

If you'd tried it on
she would have knocked you back.

Or maybe she wasn't
that interested in men!

No matter how angry you get,

she isn't coming back. Shut up!

Your wife isn't coming back.
Shut up! She's dead!

I've got nothing to lose, Jack.

Do you... Do you have anything
still left to live for?

How about that? Do you feel that?

Isabel wouldn't even look at me.

Though I tried.

But she saw through me.

She saw.

I can't breathe any more. I...

I don't know what to do.

Nobody seems to have seen her.

Start the service. I'll try
her home number again, OK?

'This is Nancy Roberts.
Please leave a message.'

Hello, Miss Roberts, this is
Mr Brown from the undertakers.

We're about to commend your brother's
remains and wonder where you are.

Please call me on my mobile.

The crematorium runs to
a very tight schedule.

We can't link all
the victims to a violent death yet.

Catherine McArdle and Grace
Eccleshall are still coming up blank.

I asked for a list of all violent
deaths over the past two weeks

and this name came up -
Frank Roberts.

He was killed in a
car accident last week.

Do you remember the journalist Nancy
Roberts, the one at the mortuary?

She's been campaigning
for the legalisation of
prostitution for years.

Heretic?

You tried her mobile phone?

Voicemail. I phoned the mortuary.

Her brother's being cremated today.

Crematorium.

Burning tombs.

Duncan, search her house.

Vickie, you come with me.

As a father is tender
towards his children,

so is the Lord
tender to those that fear him,

for he knows of what we are made.

He remembers we are but dust.

'You have reached
Brown's Funeral Parlour.'

Nothing?

Answer machine in the
front office as well.

..commit his body to be cremated
in the fires of everlasting life.

Amen.

Dad... Dad?

It's Daniel. I need you.

Red. You need to get over here.

And you might want to
bring the professor.

Where did you find this?

It was on the table.

It's Izzy's.

You have to tell me what you know.

Danny!

You've always said I never listen.

I need you to tell me what
you know about Izzy. Please.

Whatever you're holding onto,
let it go.

Why now?

The next circle,

the violent, um...
It has three divisions -

the river of blood, the desert
of fire and the wood of suicides.

That's violence against God,
man and the self. Self?

Yes, in the wood of suicides.

Dante's walking through the wood
and he hears these disembodied
voices, wailing with grief.

And he rips off this piece of bark
and out pours this mixture of words
and blood.

They're trapped in the trees.

If you refuse life on Earth, then
you're deprived of form in hell.

It ends here.

In the wood of suicides.

Can you take someone out of hell?
Can you...can you save someone
who's been condemned to hell?

Well, as they wander through
lower hell, Dante hears this
story about how this sorceress

uses Virgil
to take a soul out of hell.

Soon after I left my flesh in death,
she led me through these walls

and down as far as Judas' pit
to bring a spirit out.

The killer is looking for one soul.

One sinner to save.

The victims.

People who were close to them
who died violently.
Where were the bodies taken to?

Nancy Roberts' brother
was at the mortuary.

Franco had to drive his father
to the mortuary to identify Rico.

Fullerton's daughter.

Emerson's victim.

Would they all be
taken to the mortuary?

If their deaths were sudden, yes.

So is that how the killer chose the
victims? They met at the mortuary?

Two of the victims didn't have
sudden death in their past.

Catherine McArdle, Grace Eccleshall.

If they never went to the mortuary,
how did the killer know them?

He knew them already.

Had a reason to kill them.

Starter problems?

Er, Jack problems. He was supposed
to have fixed this ages ago.

Why don't I give you a lift?

Where are you going?

Rachel?

Rachel?

Oh, Jack!

What are you doing here?

I need to speak to Rachel.

Jack, you were right.

All this has been about Isabel.

No.
Izzy killed herself. I was wrong.

Jack...

What is the connection

between Isabel and Dante?

There is no connection.

The two cases aren't linked.

The cases are linked, Jack.

No. Izzy killed herself.

You were right. Vickie was right.

Jack, you've got to help me.

Help me to stop this.

Please, Jack. I can't.

Jack, they are linked,
and you know it.

Did Izzy do this?

She made it
before she killed herself.

Catherine McArdle.

Indecision.

She was killed for indecision?

Why?

She dumped Isabel for Eccleshall.

She...

She broke her heart.

Isabel was lost.

A good soul never comes to make
this crossing.

There is no greater pain

than to remember
in our present grief

past happiness.

The pain you suffer here

disfigures you beyond all
recognition.

Yours is an empty hope.

Don't leave me, please,
I cried in my distress.

In all directions spreading out,

The moment the violent soul
departs the body it has
torn itself away from,

it drops to the wood.

She couldn't bear the pain.

The day she needed me to help her...

..and I wasn't there.

She was alone on that tower.

Who else knows Izzy made this?
