Original subtitles

[Ezra] No! I won't listen to this for another moment!

[Reverend] I say unto ye...

-ye are the sons of Satan! -[Ezra] How can you continue to preach

-this nonsense? -[Reverend] Hear the word of God.

-[Ezra] I'm leaving! -[Reverend] Come back, my son.

No! It's not the word of God.

It's not God's will.

It's blasphemy, I tell you!

How long will you believe him?

How many more centuries will you wait?

[sighs]

[church bell tolling]

[Reverend] Come back, my son!

[panting]

[panting]

Ezra.

And would ye leave us, Brother Ezra?

[gasping]

Would ye leave us now?

No. No! [screams] No!

[narrator] Since the beginning of time,

mankind has existed between

the world of light and the world of darkness.

Our secret society has been here forever.

Protecting others from the creatures who inhabit the shadows

in the night.

Known only to the Initiated by our true name.

The Legacy.

The London House has specifically requested your help, Alex.

They delivered the documents in the morning.

Great.

The electrical discharge that I spotted on the piezo-map yesterday...

grew bigger overnight.

Yeah, Nick, but what you're looking at

might be nothing more than a brush fire.

Yeah, it's possible, but take a look at this.

Same area, 50 years ago, a boy said that he saw his brother disappear

along with an entire colony that supposedly never existed.

Brother never turned up again.

And you want to go looking for him now?

Half a century later? Why?

No, there's more to it than that, right?

I've got an entire file completely full of stories about this lost colony

and the myths surrounding it.

I'd like to go have a look at it.

All right.

But I need you to help me with something else first.

[telephone ringing]

[Rachel on recording]Hi, you've reached the office of Rachel Corrigan.

-You know what to do after the beep, so do it. -[beeps]

[Dr. Stone]Rachel, this is Dr. Stone.

I see you didn't make your rounds today or yesterday for that matter.

Are you all right? Please call me.

[phone clicks]

-[gasping] -[monster growling]

[screaming]

I spoke to her several times.

Tried to.

I'm not sure I'm getting through.

Well, I'll give it a shot.

I don't know about taking her on something like this though.

Well, if I thought it was going to be something substantial,

I wouldn't recommend it.

But might be just what's needed

to get Rachel back on her feet.

And maybe with a little luck,

she'll see how she can fit into The Legacy herself.

All right, your call, chief.

[Rachel] I'm supposed to believe

this is all for some greater purpose?

It's hard to live in the moment and analyze it at the same time.

It could take weeks. It could take forever.

Life doesn't come with a guarantee.

[scoffs] What, you get that off a T-shirt?

Look. You're the psychiatrist here.

I haven't got the answers.

But I can tell you this...

You're not the only one who's had to face this kind of ugliness.

Every one of us who's a member of The Legacy

has had their soul turned inside out at one point or another.

And we'd do it again

because it's the most important thing

that we can do.

What do you got to lose?

My life?

[laughs]

Maybe this will help you to get it back.

Looks like the last gas for a while.

-Might as well top her up. -[groans] Oh, God.

-What can I do you folks for? -Oh, hey.

-Uh, is this Huntsford? -Last I looked.

Well, uh, we need a little gas and maybe some help.

-What kind of help? -You know a guy named Sammy MacAllister?

Must be in his 50s now.

His brother went missing here when they were just kids.

You know, stories like that

make nothing but trouble for us folks around here.

I don't worry my head with such nonsense.

That all you want?

Well, maybe you can tell me

if I keep going up this road, where I'll end up.

Well, it's about 20 miles to the next valley

but you won't find nothing up there either.

Almost no one ever goes that far up except hunters

and you're no hunter.

[paper rustling]

I wanna test out my new hiking boots.

[Rachel] Hey, you know, it might help a lot if I knew a little bit more

about what we're looking for.

What exactly does this piezo-dot on the map mean?

It means something's going on.

It's an anomalous emission of electrical energy.

Could mean something, could mean nothing. We just gotta check it out.

Ah.

-They teach you that as a Navy SEAL? -Among other things.

-Like what? -How to kill people, quietly.

-Very useful, I'm sure. -[church bell tolling]

Does that bridge turn up on your map?

[church bell ringing]

No.

[Reverend] Of those that kept faith

to observe the vigil,

the Lord hath said:

"Let no man doubt

that no man may come into his kingdom

who bears the taint of this unholy, sinful world.

But those

who see the light, yea,

may they inherit, one day, a world

purged with God's holy fire."

Greetings, friends.

[congregation murmuring]

Welcome to the New Eden.

I am the Right Reverend Abraham Hawking.

Ah.

We get so few visitors here.

I'm afraid we may have forgotten how to behave.

Not at all. You've been very hospitable. Thanks.

But it's getting late

and Rachel and I wouldn't want to impose any further.

We'd better get back.

The world beyond is rife with turmoil, my friend.

Satan strides in all his glory

and everywhere men despair.

Well, it's not really all that bad.

Here, we await a world unsullied by man's feeble attempts

to tame the Lord's own majestic kingdom.

You must mean with things like knives and forks.

[laughs]

Contrivances. These are nothing but contrivances.

The devil has a thousand means to please and divert.

So...

Well, how many of you live here?

Only what you see.

And where do you come from?

Many places.

Cornwall, Edinburgh, Boston.

How long ago? And how did you get here?

Eat what God has provided for you.

A wagging tongue tells the devil's tale.

That's right. We were just hiking in the woods

and we heard your church bell.

But surely, you must acknowledge that your steps were guided here

by some unseen hand.

Not an acorn falls

without Providence having played its part.

Well, this acorn did, Reverend.

Well, it's a long walk back to the truck,

so we'd better get a move on.

I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that.

Excuse me?

These woods are dark and deep, my friend.

-[thunder rumbling] -Clearly, there's a storm a-brewing.

Ye must stay here with us.

For one night in the colony, I insist.

Well, that's a very kind offer

but I promised Rachel I'd have her back tonight

with her daughter and all.

Ah.

Well, that is a promise that must be left unkept.

I think that's up to Rachel.

But she's already been told by Sister Esther.

Rachel? Excuse me.

-Are you okay with this? -[whispers] This is so weird.

I guess we don't have much of a choice, do we?

There's always a choice.

Did you at least call The Legacy and tell them what's going on?

The cell phone isn't working.

I'll go back to the truck and I'll make a call from that gas station.

And call my place and tell Emily to tell Kat I love her

-and I'll see her tomorrow. -No problem.

[sighs]

-All right, well, have a good snooze. -Yeah.

-Night, Nick. -See you in the morning.

Ye shall find your room at the top of the stairs.

Well, we'll be leaving early in the morning, so if I don't see you...

thanks for the hospitality.

Sleep well.

Tomorrow shall attend to itself.

[shivering] Oh, man.

What is the story? How come I'm locked in?

I needed to speak with you.

And there is no glass in these windows. It's freezing in here.

Reverend says that seeing ourselves reflected would teach us vanity.

[laughs] Yeah, well...

-maybe he's got a point. -Tell me, please.

How did you come here?

How did I come here?

Well...

We chartered a plane, flew to Crystal Lake, drove up the mountain

and when the road ran out, we hiked.

But you were able to walk into the town?

-Yes. -And outside the town, the world...

is it still a desolate waste?

-Come again? -The Messiah has not come yet, has he?

The earth is still a barren battlefield filled with flame? Filled with misery?

Is that what your reverend is telling you?

Look, the, uh...

The world is not exactly peaceful...

but it's hardly Armageddon out there either, and I...

I mean, I live a perfectly ordinary life

most of the time.

His fate is in the hands of the reverend

and the reverend says he will pass judgment on the morrow.

[Rachel] No, no, that can't be.

Either your reverend is misinformed or else--

You must listen. There are only two days left.

We're here only so that the reverend may see

if our time has come to inherit the earth.

Okay, Sarah. [shushes] Calm down.

What is gonna happen in the next two days?

If you and your friend are not gone by then--

But we're gonna be gone. We're gonna leave tomorrow morning.

Sarah, you can come with us if you want. We'll take you.

But how? How do you mean to leave the colony?

Same way we came in. Over the bridge.

I thought you knew a way.

I must go.

[door closes]

He got out through the window.

Didn't I tell ye to watch him?

Ye fools. Untie that.

[gasps]

The devil's minion.

[panting]

[man] He's over here! This way!

Well, Rachel would've certainly called her daughter last night.

Well, I've been trying to get them on their phone all morning.

-Do we have a location of the car? -Yes.

And I've also been checking up on the newspaper story.

Nick's files show that there's been a number of missing-person reports

in that area, going back over 200 years.

Is there any link with all the accounts?

Well, that's what's weird. They seem to happen in,

well, 50-year cycles.

What do you mean, cycles?

The disappearances seem to have happened every 50 years

starting in 1796.

Even the Nez Perce, the native tribe from that area

-have stories about this place. -What kind of stories?

Well, they talk about some mysterious plague.

A curse brought by settlers that swept through their tribe

nearly wiping them out.

All right. Start packing. We leave in half an hour.

And get in touch with Philip.

I need him to find out what happened in the late 1700s

-that could have triggered all this. -All right.

Let me guess. It's a jail.

What are you in for?

I was just... [clears throat]

-I was just-- -Out for a walk in the woods?

My brother warned me not to go.

Guess he was right.

[sighs]

How long you been here?

I walked into the town on the last day.

Last day? Of what?

-Before everything vanishes again. -Vanishes?

Well, all I can tell you is that there's no way of getting across that bridge.

No, you don't understand.

There's no way out at all.

Now that you've brought your people here, when will you let them go?

Let them go? Why, the gates are always open.

I keep no one prisoner here.

That's not what they seem to think.

"Fear of the Lord

is the beginning of wisdom." Psalms 1:11 .

But, Reverend...

it is not the Lord they fear.

It's you.

Does the lamb fear the shepherd?

Is it true what the pilgrim has said?

The world has not been scourged by fire?

It is true. The world goes on.

Why would the reverend say it is so?

Why have we not come into the kingdom?

You'd have to ask the reverend that.

Perhaps she is a messenger of the devil.

And how would they have breached our walls?

And why would the reverend have welcomed them so?

There is work to be done.

Soon enough, the time of our vigil will be upon us.

Direct your thoughts to that alone.

Else the reverend shall have cause to chastise you.

The Lord has blessed me with all this.

And you are indeed blessed, Reverend.

But I really need to see my friend Nick now.

The time of the vigil

is almost upon us.

In two more days we shall return to it and wait

as if cradled among the stars...

for the coming of the Messiah.

[hammer banging]

You paint a beautiful picture, Reverend.

[man] Watch your thumb, Jonah.

But, uh, my friend Nick and I...

we can't stay, you know.

But stay ye must, Rachel Corrigan.

Just as the Lord once sent Rachel, daughter of Laban,

to Jacob to bear him a son.

So I see now that he has sent you here to me.

I am doing the Lord's work, Rachel.

Will ye fulfill your destiny, Rachel,

as was prophesied in the Book of Genesis?

Or will ye bring upon yourself the wrath of the living God?

Hello?

Hello?

-Help you, folks? -Yes.

We're looking for these people.

Something happen to them?

-We don't know yet. Have you seen them? -Maybe.

-When? -Yesterday.

Said they're investigating one of them old stories.

Yes, they were. Any idea where they went from here?

Up the road to the next valley. Ain't seen them since. Don't expect to.

-Why? What makes you say that? -The few people who go up there

generally don't come back this way.

-Locked. -Yeah, but I can see a lot of their gear.

Looks like they were planning to come back to get it.

So why didn't they?

Sarah, please, you have to tell me where my friend is.

It's over there, but don't let anyone see you.

Thank you.

-Nick. -Rachel. Get out of here.

This whole town is a trap.

-You have no reason to be here. -[grunting]

You touch me again, sister, and you'll regret it.

Rachel, both of us in chains is not gonna work.

Okay, you're right. Look, Nick.

If there's a key to what's going on, the reverend's got it.

I thought we were supposed to go in to get them.

Exactly. But let's not make a false move.

How did you know?

Well, there's a reason they went in and never came out.

If it's true what Philip says, no one ever does.

Your friend has offended against the Lord.

Then why not let him go?

-It is not the Lord's will. -Ah, I get it.

You're the only person who understands God's will. Is that it?

The Lord speaks to me...

and to anyone who wishes to listen.

Genesis 29:10,

"And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel,

the daughter of Laban, that Jacob went near

and rolled the stone from the well's mouth.

Rachel was beautiful and well-favored.

And Jacob loved Rachel and said:

'I will serve thee for seven years,

for Rachel, thy younger daughter.'"

We have been patient.

Biding our time, awaiting the coming of the new Messiah.

But now the Lord has given me a sign.

He has opened mine eyes.

Then tell me, Reverend, what is it that you see?

That I have been chosen

to seed the earth anew.

When all the unrighteous have passed away.

Then, lo, a new Adam shall arise

and take to himself a new wife

that they might people the earth anew.

[exclaims] Well...

You flatter me, Reverend...

but, um, these things take time.

Time...

we do not have.

The vigil begins tomorrow.

What the Almighty has decreed, no man may deny.

Do not fear.

The guards outside shall not disturb our congress.

You were meant to be mine. Now and for eternity.

[screams] No!

Ye shall be the new Eve!

[man] Reverend Hawking, we smell smoke!

Because there is a fire, you fool!

[man panting]

This Reverend Hawking

was some sort of religious zealot.

Yeah, and a very powerful presence.

If this really is the lost colony of New Eden

and Nick and Rachel found it...

-I've got to get in there. -Derek, we checked the entire perimeter.

Once you're in there, there is no way out.

There's always a way out. Let's call Philip and ask for more.

-[phone beeping] -[rustling]

[Sam] Hello in there.

Hold on. I got something to say that might mean something to you.

My name's Sam MacAllister.

It was my brother got lost in these woods some 50 years ago.

Those who would spread doubt...

yea,

I say unto ye that they are like the serpent coiled in the garden.

They must be captured

lest they infect the innocent.

And they must be destroyed!

We must offer up such evil

on a blazing pyre!

[crowd] Yes.

[Reverend] We must prove to the Lord

that we shall not countenance it here!

[screams]

[screams] Sarah!

God forgive me my sins

and save you all from the Reverend Hawking.

[screaming]

[screaming]

[grunts]

The ashes of corruption

are as incense to the Lord.

Mark well the path corruption treads.

Will ye follow me now on the path of righteousness?

You call this righteousness?

You are a sick, sadistic son of a bitch.

Or ye will rise up tomorrow

in a column of smoke and ash

to the greater glory of the one true God.

[spits]

[Eugene] You said you were gonna let me go.

In a manner of speaking, we are.

We didn't have time to attend to it

when you strayed here on our last Sabbath day, but today we do.

And by nightfall, ye shall be like incense to the Lord.

Ye must forgive me.

This Sabbath, the sermon was unusually long.

Many things must be spoken of before the time of the vigil.

Have you reconsidered of what we spoke of yesterday?

Time is running short.

This is what your god teaches you?

To subjugate, torture, kill?

How dare you presume to speak for the Lord!

What he wishes only I know!

You've tricked these people into believing your lies.

You've imprisoned them here with your madness and your cruelty.

But not me.

I see you.

What is it, Reverend, that you've really done?

What terrible crime have you committed

that all these people have to pay?

If ye shall not create a new Eden

then ye shall perish in the flames of perdition.

You can't go in there alone.

Alex, I need you here to help us out again.

Ain't you forgetting something? I'm the one who's got family in there.

We've all got family in there, Sam.

And you do your brother no good

if you're captured too.

We are ready for you now, friend.

-What is this? -Glasses.

Spectacles.

But how do you see through them?

What trick of the devil is this? No! No, this cannot be!

-Derek. Man, am I glad to see you. -Nick.

Rachel.

Is that Hawking?

The one and only.

Like Rachel said, if there is a key to this mess, finding a way out.

It'd be in his chamber. Let's go.

We gotta come up with something in a hurry.

What's this?

Why would he hide this?

When the guard saw his reflection in my mirrored glasses, he lost it.

[Reverend] My children...

soon we shall sleep in the bosom of the Lord.

-Amen. -But first we must cleanse ourselves

-of all corruption. -[man] Amen.

The Lord demands no less of us.

-Amen. -[Nick] How would you know

what the Lord demands?

Another visitor to our colony.

I'm afraid we shall have to detain you, my friend.

Seize that man!

How could they do that, Reverend?

How could the dead take hold of the living?

This man is the devil's emissary...

sent here to test our faith!

Then strike me down, Reverend.

Hurl the word of God at me here where I stand.

Hundreds of years ago he brought you here to found a new utopia

but while the reverend was off on a mountaintop,

you were all here dying of the plague.

And if you don't believe me, then look in this.

-[gasps] -Nature's own glass.

-[gasping] -And see the truth.

-[gasps] -[screams]

-[screaming] -[gasping]

You've been kept here long past your time.

Your bodies have died.

Your souls are due in heaven. Go there now.

But how can we get to heaven? We have no power to leave the colony.

But you do, all of you.

The only power he holds over you is the power you've given him.

[woman 1] You lied to us!

Your bondage here is over.

-You're free. -[man 1] Free?

-[woman 2] It's true. -Go.

[man 2] We're free?

You're free. You're free!

Free?

[chuckles] You fools.

I alone hold the keys to the kingdom!

All of you! All of you!

I alone can take you to the Lord!

Come here often?

Oh, God, Nick.

Without me, I say, ye shall never see the Lord!

Fall down on your knees and beg for forgiveness!

This world is the devil's domain!

-Esther. Esther, surely... -Praise the Lord.

Ye shall not turn your back on me!

Ye must not break faith!

I have bargained for you all!

I have bargained for eternity!

[screaming]

[gasping]

[gasps]

Eugene? You haven't changed a bit.

Oh.

Sam? Is it you?

Remind me never to question your hunches.

Are you all right?

I'm cold and I'm tired

and every bone in my body aches.

I had no idea this would become so dangerous.

It was a terrible mistake.

It sure was.

You risked my life.

-It was unconscionable. -But, Derek, look at me.

I finally understand what you've been talking about.

Derek, I've never...

I-I've never felt so alive.

The moment I met you, I thought your place would be with us in The Legacy.

Now I'm certain of it.

So am I.

Have a look at this.

I guess where Reverend Hawking's gone, he won't be needing this.

[bell ringing]

[laughs]
