(soft music)

(woman): As life progresses...
images blur.

(loud thud)

All that remains are memories.

(loud thud)

Some of them true...
(thud)

...some of them false.

I remember her well.

At least I think I do.

She was a warrior.

In the old century,
you had to be...

in order to survive.

(dramatic music)

(loud moaning)

(Crying out)

(child): Breathe in and out,
the way she does.

And now push. Now!

(screaming)

(baby crying)

(man laughing and exclaiming)

(man sighing)

- Thank you so much.

- Bye.

- See you in a couple of days,
right?

(howling in the distance)
- Mama?

Are you coming?

(indistinct chatter)

(woman): Good morning!
(man): 'Morning, Liz!

(bleating)

(soft music)
- Here, Ma.

(clucking)

- Liz, the boy's gotta learn
how to shoot.

- Well, he's gonna do it anyway.

Better here than sneaking off
somewhere else.

You're scaring your mother.
- She ain't my mother.

(bell tolling)

(indistinct conversations)

(voices dying down)

(footsteps)

- Beware of false prophets...

...who come to you
in sheep's clothing...

...for inwardly,
they are ravening wolves.

Jesus is the shepherd who protects you
and your family from those wolves.

And I am his dog.

The sheepdog that gets the lambs back on track
when they stray off the path.

And some of you have strayed...
haven't you?

What do you people think?

That God is well-disposed towards you?

Let me set things straight.

Those who deserve it go to Hell.

I could tell you about Hell.

About its flames.

About the pain.

I'm sure you people
have tried to imagine what it's like.

It's worse.

Retribution is coming.

Now... let us join in singing.

Abide With Me.

# Abide with me #

# Fast falls the eventide #

# The darkness deepens #

# Lord with me abide #

(whispering): You alright?

- Thank you.

(indistinct conversations)

(child laughing)

- How're you doing, sir?
This is my daughter, Sam.

My boy, Matthew. And, uh...

...my wife.

Where were you?

That man's a stranger here.

He doesn't know anybody yet.

I'd have expected
a little more compassion from you.

(woman screaming)
- What's wrong? What's wrong?

(moaning)
What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?

(Crying out)

(indistinct whispering)

- Just breathe, alright? Breathe, just breathe.
(screaming)

(woman): Everybody outside.
We don't need no busybodies.

(man): Go on, get. Get out!

(panting)
- It's gonna be alright.

- Nathan,
I think you better go outside too.

Some things aren't meant
for a man's eyes.

It's gonna be just fine, right, Liz?

- You're gonna take care of her, right?
Promise?

I'm going to be right outside, OK?
I love you. I love you.

You take care of her.

- Close the door behind you.

(screaming)

It's gonna be alright, honey.

- The baby's head's too big.

- What's that supposed to say?

- We're going to have to choose
between the baby and the mother.

Can't save both of them.

(woman crying out)
- You have to.

Your mother said
everything would be alri--

(Crying out)

(moaning)

- No, I wanna stay. I wanna help.

- Hey... how's it going in there?

Everything alright?

Yeah?
(woman crying out)

- Push, Abby.
Hard as you can now. Come on!

Good girl!

- Where's the baby?

I wanna see my baby.
Where is he?

Give me my baby!

(sobbing)

(wailing)

- It ain't your fault.

The Lord gives...
and the Lord takes away.

- The Reverend?

Liz...

The Reverend is a man of God.

You're seeing things that ain't there.

(rustling)

- If Jesus came back to life
after he was dead...

...couldn't that happen
to Abigail's baby too?

Can you face-paint me?

(bleating)

- I'm doing something.
Can't you tell?

- We've come to see
if everything's alright.

- Everything's just fine.

No reason for you folks
to go wasting your time.

- We'd like to look for ourselves.

- Rather not.
There's a doctor coming in an hour.

It's better if he takes a look.

The Reverend arranged it.

(grunting)

(sawing)

- Hello!

(crackling)

(gunsnon

- What the hell?
(man): Liz!!

LiZ!!

You get down here, Liz!

You get down here!

I wanna see your face.

I wanna see... your face.

(screaming): Nathan!!
Don't take it out on my boy!!

We can talk about this
like decent folk!!

- I got no quarrel with you, Eli!

I'm here for your wife!

She's gotta be punished for her sins.

She's gotta burn at the stake, Eli!

- Try to be reasonable now, Nathan!

I know your sorrow, believe me.

I lost a loved one too, remember?!

I know you're out of your mind
with grief,

but believe me, your pain will pass,
just like mine did!

- I could accept that real easy...

...as long as that tongueless murderess
ends up at the stake!

I demand retribution!

You know what she did, Eli?

She murdered my baby boy.

Before he could even be baptized,
she murdered him.

What's gonna happen to him now?

You think he's gonna find salvation?

You know how she did it, Eli?

I seen him.

His brains had leaked out.

Your wife broke his skull.

She cracked his skull wide open!

She should go to hell for this!

- That will be enough.

There has been suffering.

It is the whisky talking now.

This is not the moment to solve this.

- She belongs in hell, Reverend.

(indistinct chatter)

- He do you any harm?

He just helped us out of a real fix.

- Do I get one too?

- You ain't old enough for that yet.

- Why be so hard on the boy?

He only acted to protect his family.

That makes him an adult.

- His mother doesn't want him
playing with guns.

- It's natural for a young man
to want to hold a rifle in his hands.

May I offer my glass to Matthew?

(coughing)

- I think it's about time
you went back to bed, Matthew.

- Aw, Dad!
- Come on, drink up.

- None of this would've happened
if that baby had been born in perfect health.

- But Liz couldn't do nothing about that.

- She decided who was to live
and who was to die.

That decision belongs to God
and God only.

Why did she not leave
that choice up to Him?

- Maybe I should go fetch her.

- I know you're there,
and I know you can hear me.

You may have no tongue,
but there is nothing wrong with your ears.

Why do doubts rise in your heart?

Why are you troubled?

How do you sleep at night?

How does it feel to be a murderess?

Do you know why I'm here?

I'm here to punish you.

Do you love this family?

I've looked at your daughter.

She's almost a young woman already.

- There you are.

- I must be going.

Please don't bear a grudge
against Nathan in your heart.

Losing a child is the worst thing
a body can go through.

I was just talking to your wife
about that same thing.

- You didn't even thank him.

Fact is,
you didn't even say hello to him.

- Oh, Liz, Nathan will come around.

Right. You know what?

Give me a couple of days.

I'll get somebody to come in
for the sheep.

And then we'll go up
to my pa's for a bit.

He's all alone up there anyway.

(rustling)

(hammering)

- Dad?!

Dad!

(flies buzzing)

(Crying softly)

- I'm just going to talk.
This has got to stop.

First shootin' our windows up,
now this.

(whinnying)
Yah! Come on!

Yah! Yah!

I want you to stay
with your mother!

- She ain't my mother.
- Matthew!

- You're gonna need my help.

- Alright,
as long as you stay outside.

- But why can't I just play inside?

- Why?

- And why can't I help out?

# Abide with me #

# Fast falls the eventide #

# The darkness deepens #

# Lord with me abide #

# When other helpers fail #

# And comforts flee #

# Help of the helpless oh... #

(door slamming)

(man's voice joining in)

# Swift to its close ebbs #

# Out life's little day #

# Earth's joys grow dim #

# Its glories pass away #

# Change and... #
(thudding)

(panting)

# Oh Thou who changest not #

# Abide with me #

- I think we can take
that blindfold off now.

- But I promised.

- Your mother won't mind.
She has a lot to do.

Here, see?

Everything will be fine.

- And Mama?

- She had to work in the barn.

And she did not want you there.
Do you remember?

I would like to talk to you
about your mother.

(indistinct chatter)

(heavy breathing)

(thudding)

(clucking)

- Nathan?

- They've gone and moved.

(hooves approaching)

(muted): Liz?

Where are you?

No, no, Nathan's gone.
And Abigail.

Packed up, moved out.

(heavy breathing)

(distantly): Whoa. Where'd you get to, huh?

You scared your mother.

Had her worried sick.

(indistinct conversation)

- Mama, are you evil?

The Reverend said
you murdered a man.

He says he's here to punish you.

To take you back
where he came from.

(sighing)

(thunder rumbling)

(soft, dramatic music)

(thunder)

(music escalating)

(gasping)

(distant thunder)

(wind blowing)

(thunder rumbling)

(grunting and groaning)

(softly): Why?

- Because she loves you.

(screaming)

(neighing)

(wheezing)

- Shoot me.

Behind you.

Please.

Stop the pain.

(light sobbing)

Take them to Grandpa.

(Sam): Mama?

Mama?

It was the Reverend.
He woke me up.

(crackling)

(Whinnying)
- Yah! Yah!

(dramatic chorale)

(insects chirring)

(footsteps crunching on gravel)

(heavy breathing)

(insects chirping)

(bells ringing)

(foreign language)

(man trilling)

(grunting)

(foreign language)

- Joanna. My name is Joanna.

(foreign language)

(background chatter)

(men arguing)

(man trilling)

- Frank!

Frank!

- Meng!

(foreign language)

(foreign language)

Meng, you prosperous fucker, you.
Look at you.

And what do we have here?

- My name's Joanna.
- Well, it is a pleasure to meet you.

Come on now, spin around,
let me get a look at you.

There you are.

Sally!
- Yeah.

- Would you be so kind
as to treat Joanna here

to a glass of cold lemonade?

- Yeah, but of course.
Come, honey.

- Alright, Meng,
let's talk fucking turkey.

- Here you go.

(chatter and laughter)

- Lookie here! Fresh meat.
- Swallow it right on down, girlie.

Soon you'll be swallowing something else.

- What's your name, girl?

- Joanna.

- Did your daddy bring you here?

No? You sure?

Didn't he just think
you were so good,

he had to let the rest
of the world in on it too?

(laughter)

(foreign language)

- Hey. Whoa, there now,
where do you think you're going?

- They're leaving without me!

- Yes, they are,
but don't you worry about a thing,

'cause from now on,
this is where you live, darling.

Right here.

Now, come on now.
Let's get you cleaned up.

(muffled voices)

(moaning and rhythmic thudding)

(moaning)

- Shhh, shhh!

(man groaning)

- Yeah, yeah!

- So that's the work we do around here.

And we do all the moaning and groaning
because that makes sure it's over faster.

- Why?
- Why? That's what men like.

So, uh... you ever bled yet?

'Twixt your legs, honey.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.
You have, haven't you?

Yeah? Well, then,

that's gonna be our little secret
for the time being. OK?

Now, you go to bed.

(loud chatter)

(cheefing)

(laughter)

(exclaiming)
(laughter)

" Ah!
(laughing)

- And who are you?

What's your name, girl?

- Joanna.

- Frank, what's it cost
to go upstairs with this one?

- Come on now, Fred,
you cannot afford her.

- Oh, I don't know about that.
I got pretty damn lucky at cards today.

- Hey, Eastman!

I'm horny as hell
and I feel like doing you!

What would you say to a free ride, huh?

- That ain't yours to decide.
- I'll pay for it myself.

- Damn Sally, what,
you been holding out on me now, huh?

- I'll go along with that.
But then she gets to watch.

- No way.
- Then it's no deal.

- Oh, it sounds like a fine idea to me.

It'll be most educational, I'm sure.

(panting)

- What's wrong,
don't you like it, honeybunch?

(groaning)

Oh, yeah.

(moaning)
Hit me.

- What?
- Hit me!

- No, I ain't gonna do that.
- Hit me, goddammit!

- Ah! I'm not taking this, Eastman.

- Hit me again.

Hit me again!

- No, no, no, no, don't shoot!

Don't shoot.
I don't mind it, Joanna.

It's just a game, right? Oh!

- You do that again
and I'm going to shoot.

- Please put the gun down.
- Don't you ever.

Just keep pointing it at me.

Don't you dare drop that gun on me.

- Ah!

- That's right. Keep pointing it at me.

Don't you dare...

I'm gonna strangle the life out of her!
(gasping)

Shoot me!

Do it, Joanna.
Shoot me, goddammit!

Shoot, goddammit, bitch!

(gun clicking empty)
(groaning)

(laughing)

(gasping)

You're gonna make a fine little whore,
I can see that already.

I just bet that you can make me
real nice and clean too.

(whimpering)

(gunsnon

- The whole world
may see our fair city of Bismuth

as a place of Sodom and Gomorrah.

But rules do apply here.

A whore cannot be allowed
to shoot down her customers with impunity.

My brother runs The Inferno
as a place where hardworking miners

can find well-deserved recreation.

That must remain so,

and so it will.

(rapid breathing)

(sobbing)

Let this be an example.

(crashing)
- No.

(man vomiting in the distance)

(dishes softly clinking)

- Come on now,

a mining town has a need
for organized entertainment.

And I need to know
that customers here feel safe.

That's why I brought
my brother Zeke to Bismuth.

He's a better sheriff
than this town deserves.

Everybody at The Inferno knows
that if a girl so much as scratches a customer,

she's gonna be punished.

So Sally knew what she had coming.

- But he strangled her.

- Yeah, I know. It hurt me too.

Damn, she was one of my oldest employees.

But rules are rules.

If you don't obey the rules, you're guilty.
And if you're guilty, you're gonna pay.

You understand that, don't you? Hmm?

Tell me you understand.

You know how old I was
when I first went to bed with a girl?

I was 21.

Twenty-one.

While Zeke, he was 14.

I got to watch, though.

I spied on him through the peephole.

I never did see
what all the fuss was about.

You know, what everybody talked about.

I couldn't see it.

You're not a child anymore.

- I haven't been for a long time.

(soft music)

- The time has come.

I'm gonna be gentle.

(panting)

(man groaning)

(Joanna moaning)

(groaning)

- That's right.

Oh, stud, you sure are good.

- Joanna!

Joanna!

Frank is in a gunfight!

- Hey, what the hell?!
I'm almost done.

- You see that?

What do you say
we have her join us next time?

(groaning)

(giggling)

(indistinct chatter)

- This is just between me and Frank.

All I want is a fair fight.

- Then what are you doing here?!
(laughter)

- Blow him to hell!
- Yeah!

- I'm not a violent man.

I usually work with numbers.

But now I'm standing here
in front of you...

to shoot you dead, Frank.

My daughter is dead because of you.

It's men like you who think
their actions have no consequences,

who are making the country
turn into what it's turning into.

So for my daughter's sake...

...for every daughter's sake...

...I have to kill you.

Because I'm a father.

- So you can count.

And you can sure as shit talk.

But what we all wanna know is,

can you shoot?

- So when do we elope?

- Where to?

- Anywhere.

Wherever we can be free.

- But we are free here. Sort of.

- No, we're not.

And you know it.

Face-paint me.

- What?

- Paint my face with your fingers.

- You, uh, you remind me of my wife.

But you dress better,
you smell better, you look better.

- Thank you.

- No fucking kissing.

I said, no kissing!

No kissing! Goddammit!

- So you gonna buy me that drink, or what?
- Sure. Whiskey.

(man screaming)

- I warned you, you sonofabitch!
Nobody kisses me! Do you understand?!

- Fucking whore,
you bit my tongue off!

Frank?! Frank?!

- Oh, girl, you really gone and done it now.
- I warned him six times!

- Well, the fella you warned
is kind of important

up at the gold mine.

Now, I got me a whole saloon

full of drunken fucking idiots
all howling for retribution!

- Tell 'em to go fuck themselves.
Give them a drink on the house or something.

- You think I'm gonna waste
my hard-earned money

because you girls refuse
to obey the fucking rules?!

Get the fuck up! Come on!

Get out there!
- Fuck you!

(all screaming)
- Now where's Mike?!

- I demand retribution!

- You're gonna get it, Mike!

You see, the rules in Bismuth are clear,

and all customers will get
the respect they got coming!

- Hang the stupid whore!
(men cheering)

- No, no, Elizabeth here,
she's not gonna hang.

(booing)
- Gotta hang her, Frank!

- Mike ain't dead neither, is he?

But he was a victim of her lawlessness,

so he gets to make a fucking proposal.

Now what's it gonna be, Mike? Huh?

You want this free pussy for a week?
Is that it?

(cheefing)

- You cut that fucking bitch's tongue off!

(screaming)

- You want a trade, Mike, huh?

You want an eye for an eye?
Is that what you want?

(indistinct shouting)

(drawn-out scream)

- Rinse it five times a day with alcohol

and it should heal up
sooner than you'd think.

No solid foods. No blow jobs.

- Will she ever be able to talk again?

- Not much chance of that.

Here you go.

Good bye.

'ZZZ

."dance“.

...on Tuesday?

I... only drink...

...on Tuesdays.
(laughing)

I only drink on Tuesdays.

'ZZZ

...kill...

...Frank?

That's suicide.

But they'll come after you.

Besides, what're you gonna do?
Work in some other cathouse?

Please don't do it.

I couldn't stand to miss you.

(sighing)

(man): God sees each and every one of you.

Don't think just because this is a lawless,
godless place

that your actions will go
without consequences.

Ladies, do you want to end up in Hell?

The nice clothing doesn't fool anybody.

I know who you are,

and I know what you are.

What would your fathers think if they knew?

Your mothers weep.

Your fathers pluck out their eyes in shame!

- I've managed to find someone who doesn't mind
marrying a woman without a tongue,

but it will take some travelling.

He's been a widower
since the last six months.

He's looking for a wife
who can cook

and who doesn't mind
that he already has a son.

No, I figured as much.

- "We will welcome you with open arms

and make sure you feel right at home
as quickly as possible.

Respectfully yours," and so on and so forth.
And there's a picture.

You're gonna have a real family.

How am I gonna do that?

We're sisters?

Frank would kill us.

No, you never know.

And when you've convinced
your new husband,

you can pay for the stagecoach
from down there.

How long you think you'll need?

- You two gotta come right away.

Some fella just paid a whole pile of cash
to buy out The Inferno.

Get your asses moving.

- Your last night
and you got to work too.

- Alright now, listen up!
(indistinct chatter)

Usually we don't earn jack-shit
at the end of the month.

Jackie, shut the fuck up right fucking now,
or I'm gonna fucking make you.

This customer right here is a godsend,

and he bought the right
to all of y'all this evening.

And if he becomes a regular customer,
well, you can all expect

a big, fat, fucking bonus,
courtesy of me.

But I demand total commitment here.

I mean, whatever happens,

whatever the fuck he wants,

he is gonna get it.

Now if anybody -

I mean anyone -
does anything to ruin it for me...

...well, they gonna be punished.

Shit, they're gonna be punished
worse than I've punished anyone before.

But with that fucking said,
you do a good job, and, uh...

shit, he'll take you all.

I want this one.

(indistinct chatter)
(laughter)

- Hey.
(indistinct chatter)

(laughter)

(nervous breathing)

(Frank clapping)
- Alright now, come on!

You are gonna like this.

That's right, there you are.

My little doves.

Now, will you look at that, huh?

These two right here,
they're real young, real fresh.

Untouched, if you know what I mean.

We got all kinds here.

We've got Chinese,
if you like that kind of thing.

Oh, this one here, she's Jackie.

Jackie likes you, I can tell.

We've got anything you want here.

All your heart's desire.

Right here in The Inferno.

Oh, this one here,
well, she got a fire in her.

I had to cut out her tongue
just to keep her in line.

Good thing she can't talk back.

Oh, you have fine taste, sir.

This one right here,
well, she is a mystery to me.

I bought her from a band
of travelling gypsies.

You know, colourful types.

- Uh-huh.

- Damn,
I don't even know her real name.

(nervous breathing)

- She's the one.

- Well, that's an excellent choice, sir.
May I suggest a couple of other gi--

- Only her.

- But you paid for the whole Inferno.

- I paid not to be seen doing this.

This evening has cost me a lot of money.

Is there something wrong with your voice?
Can't you talk?

- Yes, I can.

Would you like me to dance for you?

- I had to wait a long time to find you.

I am very disappointed.

I had considered many things,
but not this.

Is this what you wanted?

What you looked for?

I am prepared to forgive all your sins.

I have also sinned.
I am going to burn in Hell forever.

I gave up the right to go to Heaven.

But you made me do it.

And only you can save me.

- No.
- Yes.

I have sinned because
we should've finished the ceremony first.

Paul the Apostle wrote it
in the First Corinthians.

Help me, Joanna.
- I can't.

- Then we shall both burn in Hell.

I am here to save you
so that you can save me.

I will make you do it.
You know I will.

- I won't let you do that again.

I'll kill you first.

- I tried.
You leave me no choice.

- Help! Somebody! Ah!

Somebody, help!
(screaming)

- You are mine!
It is God's will!

- Help!
(screaming)

(panting)
- Get out!

You whore!

(whimpering)

You're coming with me tonight.

(gurgling)

(dramatic music)

(music swelling)

(knocking)

- I need your help.

- You're not gonna get me
into trouble, are you?

(sighing)

Are you sure about this?

(whispering): Alright.

(gulping)

I can't do this!

(both panting)

(panting)
(screaming)

(coughing and gurgling)

(crickets chirring)

- Are you Elizabeth Brundy?

(soft, dramatic music)

- Are you sure
you're up to making this trip?

Well, good luck.

Don't let anyone see that for a while.
It's still pretty fresh.

(footsteps approaching)

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom
and the power and the glory,

forever and ever.
Amen.

(thunder crashing)

(door creaking)

- Ahem.

Tonight.

Joanna is still speaking Dutch.
I hold you responsible for that.

- I'll pray for the Lord's assistance.

- As a wife, you have your duties.

"The wife does not have authority
over her own body,

but yields it to her husband."
Please come with me.

- Not tonight.

(Reverend sighing)

- You leave me no choice.

(thunder)

(door closing)

(bells ringing)

We know why we came here.

This is God's nation.

The Lord shed his grace
on this beautiful new country.

This was our Exodus.
In this city on a hill,

we will develop a purer form
of Christianity.

Hadn't we all agreed
to leave the old language behind?

Hadn't we sworn
to do things better over here?

The new world would free us
from the sins of the old.

We are the bright hope of humanity.

This is the Promised Land,

and by coming here,
we have become His chosen people.

Agatha, would you tell everyone
how you received the calling?

- I was at home, peeling potatoes,

when this huge white light appeared.

In that light, I saw a beautiful young man
with white wings.

I asked if he was an angel,

and the young man nodded and smiled.

- Hmm.

Arie, would you be so kind

to share your story
of witness with us?

- For me, it was more or less
the same thing,

but it wasn't a man.

It was a beautiful young woman
who showed herself to me.

- You see?
We are the chosen people.

A visitation like that
is not something that happens

to just anybody.
You have to earn it.

Anna, would you please
come to the front?

What about you, Anna?

Have you received the calling yet?

- I have not been blessed in such a way.

- In our community, everyone of age
has received such a calling; you have not.

What did you do, Anna,
to... anger God this much?

My own wife,
who cannot find the Lord's favour.

I am ashamed of you.

(rain pattering)

(whimpering)

(thunder rumbling)

(moaning softly)

(door opening)

- Father, I pray that my wife
will grow in her love for you,

and me.

May she love us with all her heart,
all her soul, all her mind and all her might.

Give me the strength to lead her
to the salvation provided by your grace.

In Jesus's name... Amen.

(Crying out)

(moaning and crying)

(door creaking)

(sniffling)

(crying)

You must wash your daughter.

She is unclean.

- But he never raises a finger
to help out,

- It's a woman's fate.

- Says who?

- Says the Bible.

- It's not fair.

- Your father's a man of the cloth.

He serves God
and leaves earthly chores to his wife.

What do you want?

- Leave us alone,
I have to talk to the girl.

Has your mother told you
what it means to be a woman?

- Yes.

- The blood has penetrated into your life
and driven out the innocence.

It won't be long before men
start to find you attractive.

Woman! I know you're listening.

From now on,
you must treat Joanna like a woman.

As of today, you will do the hogs.

(Digs grunting)

(distant neighing)

(soft music)

(panting)
- Hello, lady.

(groaning)

(groaning and panting)

I saw the pump.

I was hoping you'd be kind enough...

to let me quench my thirst.

(panting)

(squeaking)

Allow me to express... my deepest thanks.

- Where are you men from?

- Oh, that's a long story.

Maybe some other time.

- What about him?
- You take care of him.

After all, you are a Christian, I assume?

God damn me.

(Samuel grunting)

Get the horse.

- My parents will find you two.

(panting)

- Then get... the goddamn saddle.

(hissing)
' Go!

Go on, get out of here! Go on!

- Damn bullet needs to get taken out.

(groaning)

And I need taking care of too.

- My father wouldn't like that.

- Yeah...

You know what?
Don't fuckin' tell him.

(groaning)

(panting)

(groaning)

- Here it comes.

(muffled screaming)

(whistling)
(groaning and panting)

- I reckon... it's about time
I introduced myself.

I'm Samuel.

It's nice to meet you...?

- Joanna.

- Joanna.

Thank you.

- The girl is growing fast.

(Digs squealing)

- Hi, sweetie.

- He's running a fever.

- Are you sure?

'Cause they say the best way
to take someone's temperature

is with the lips, huh?

(laughing)

- How old are you now, child?

- Thirteen.

- A full-grown woman has...

has duties in life
that a young girl can't fulfill.

Duties imposed by our Lord himself.

Come with me, please.

Your mother does not always
assume responsibilities the way she should.

She does not comply
with her natural duties.

Do you understand what I mean?

God has made you a woman
so soon for a reason.

You might believe it to be a curse,
but He has a reason for everything.

You have, as the apostle Paul put it,

"passed the flower of your age."

- This is not right.

- You have seen the blood.

- She's just a child.

- I need not answer to you.
Only to God.

(door opening)

(exhaling deeply)

No, thank you, Anna.

God has other plans.

(Pig grunting)

- It'll be alright.

Use both hands.

Don't let the blast scare you.

(squealing)

- You're a grown woman now, Joanna.

(sobbing)

- Could I talk to you for a moment?

I want to offer my apologies.

I withheld from you
that to which you have a right.

That was wrong of me.

- Apology accepted.
- Let me make it up to you.

- It's too late for that.

- I have seen how you look at her.

She's your own daughter.

It's a sin.

- It does not have to be.

"If any man thinks
that he is behaving himself unseemly

toward his virgin daughter,
if she pass the flower of her age,

and if need so requires,
let him do what he will;

he is not sinning; let them marry."

- You shall be scolded.

_ No!

(smacking)
(Crying out)

(Crying out)

Good girl.

(clucking)

- That sure as hell took long enough.

- Where are you going?

- Gonna take a crap.

- Where you want me to put this?

- I need some rope and I need it fast.
Can you get that for me?

Good.

(grunting)

(groaning)

(groaning)

(gun clicking empty)
(groaning)

(grunting stops)

(Samuel grunting)

(panting)

(Digs squealing)

I had to do that.

If I hadn't,
he'd have killed me at some point.

Better him than me, I'd say.

I heard that story once.

The one about turning
the other cheek and all that.

The only person who'd say
something like that

is someone who's in control.

Someone who doesn't want you
to stand up to him.

I've seen your mother.

She's the kind of person
that turns the other cheek.

Are you like her?

(soft, dramatic music)

(chorale singing softly)

(all singing): # The darkness deepens #

# Lord with me abide #

# When other helpers fail #

# And comforts flee #

# Help of the helpless #

# O abide with me #

(whispering):
Why do you let him do this?

I'll never be like you.

This is no way to live.

I'd rather die first.

(Crying softly)

- The serpent said to the woman,

"You surely will not die!

For God knows that in the day you eat from it,
your eyes will be opened,

and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil."

And when the woman saw
that the tree was good for food,

and was a delight to the eyes,

and that the tree was
desirable to make one wise,

she took from its fruit and ate.

And then the Lord God
said to the woman:

"I will greatly multiply
your pain in childbirth,

In pain you will bring forth children;

Yet your desire will be for your husband,

And he will rule over you."

(loud thud)
(all screaming)

This is an abomination.

This is an abomination!

Does she not know that her body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit,

which she received from God?
(Joanna sobbing)

This is a disgrace.

She will be punished in Hell.

She will be transformed
into a thorny tree,

and in a tortured wood,
she will be punished by harpies,

who will dig their sharp talons into her,

until the blood comes flowing down!

O Lord.

Forgive me.

You know I have tried to keep her
on the narrow way to repentance.

But like the Gospel of Matthew says:
The way is broad that leads to destruction.

I spoke to her.

I chastised her.

But to no avail.

(panting)

I failed.

(grunting)

(whip continues lashing)

- There, there.
(Joanna crying)

It's alright.

It's alright.

- I'm old enough.

- I know.

(soft music)

(birdsong)

(door creaking open)

- God has forgiven me.

I am ready.

Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Almighty.

You saw, and foresaw all.

You saw that my wife did not do
what you expected of her.

That she did not love you, or me,
as my daughter will.

Lot lay with their daughters
and they bore children unto him.

Joanna and I shall enter
a state of matrimony

and she shall bear my children.

We shall be joyous and honour you.

- Ah! Let me go!

(screaming)
- Fear not.

- No!!!Ah!!

No!!

- It is the will of God.
We are his chosen ones.

When two people make their vows
in the name of the Everlasting,

they pronounce their wish
to belong to each other, fully in love.

Together they shall search
for what God wants from their lives.

Together they shall perform their duties
and care for their family.

(whimpering)

(door creaking open)

- My father was a real bastard.

Used to put cigars out on my arm,
the sadistic fuck.

And he was a pervert, just like you.

I killed him when I was nine years old.

- Who are you?

- You have a real special daughter.

She deserves to be free.

- You think you can come in here
and take that which belongs to me?

- Yeah. What do you think?

That God's gonna come down here
and save you?

(groaning and panting)

- I am as God. He is as I am.

(Joanna screaming)
I will love you.

And you will learn to love me.

It is God's will.
- I will kill you!

- That would not stop me.
- You're mad!

- Who was that man?
He put foolish thoughts in your mind.

- He helped me. I love him!

- No, you do not.

It is lust.

- Yes.

(dramatic music)

- I will beat your mother out of you.

(screaming)

The time has come.
(Joanna sobbing)

I will be gentle.

(creaking)

(gentle snoring)

(panting)

(dramatic music)

(music continues)

(birdsong)

(wind blowing)

(soft music)

(eerie echoing voice):
# Abide with me #

# Fast falls the eventide #

# The darkness deepens #

# Lord with me... #

- He ain't never gonna stop, is he?

(horse nickering)

(sighing)

(bird squawking)

(hooves approaching)

(deep breathing)

(breathing deepens)

(breath trembling)

(dramatic music)

(creaking)

(gun dropping)

(neighing)

(wind whistling)

- I'll be fine.

(footsteps creaking)

(Sam, sleepily): Are we there yet?

(footsteps creaking)

(gunsnon
(Matthew): Ah!! Ah!

(Sam): What was that?

No, let me go!

(Matthew): Stay there!
- Matthew!

- Stay there, Sam!
Whatever happens!

- Matthew!

(gunshot)
- Ah!!!

(Liz whimpering)

(Sam): Mama!

Matthew!

(expiring breath)

(silence)

(crying)

(dramatic music)

(music continues)

(soft music)

(carriage creaking)

(water dripping)

- Oh, Liz...

I'd always hoped
this place would be Eli's someday.

I mean...

he could've...

I don't know...

a sawmill or something...

(sobbing)

Are you sure?

You ever fired one of those things before?

- I should be the one holding the gun.

- There's no use shooting
from that distance.

(ominous music)

It's more difficult than you think,

especially with a gun like that.

I was truly prepared to forgive you,
back in Bismuth.

I loved you.

You should have seen that.

You've turned against me.

Just like your mother.

But again, I have been provided
with an alternative.

That's right, Joanna.

Your daughter shall suffer for your actions.

And I will make you watch
as I chastise her.

And after that, you will witness
how I make her a woman.

You believe she's safe in there?

That I cannot get to her?

You left her alone, Joanna.

Never leave your loved ones alone.

You should know that by now.

(Joanna panting)

What is the worst thing
I could do to you, Joanna?

Lucky for her, she was asleep.

She did not see a thing.

(eerie music)

(Sam moaning softly)

(Sam): Huh? What...?

(Joanna panting)

(footsteps approaching)

- Beware... of false prophets...

...who come to you in sheep's clothing.

For inwardly...
they are ravening wolves.

(howling)

- Mama! Ah!

No! Mama! Mama!

No!!

(Joanna panting)
Mama!

Mama!

(shuddering breath)

- I will do to your daughter
exactly as I did to you.

I am going to hurt you
as much as I can.

# Abide with me #

# Fast falls the eventide #

I will leave the door open.

(whipping)
(Sam whimpering)

I brought you this.

Has your mother told you
what it means to be a woman?

Many people believe that God
does not approve of violence.

They have not read their Bible.

"Violence cleanses evil.
It purifies the heart."

Does your heart need purifying?

Have you had bad thoughts?

About men, perhaps?

Do you like men?

Have you bled yet?

(breathing heavily)

I am a doomed man, Sam.

Beyond salvation.

I can do whatever I want.

Young girls still carry
the scent of innocence.

Older women smell different.

(breath quickening)

The time has come.

(soft grunting)

(soft moaning)

(crunching)
(Joanna whimpering)

People think it's the flames
that make Hell unbearable.

It's not.

It is the absence of love.

(soft sobbing)

(soft music)

(horse neighing)

_ HGY-

Mm-hmm.

- Well... long time no see, Liz.

I was a broken man.

Couldn't go on living there.

Good thing the new preacher showed me
I had to go try somewhere else.

He was the one told me
they was lookin' for deputies,

up in Bismuth.

I made myself up a new life there.

'Bout a year ago,
the sheriff there got himself shot,

and I was chosen to replace him.

While I was cleaning out his office...

...I found this.

You should've changed your name, Liz.

How many Elizabeth Brundys
you figure there are in this world?

And how many of 'em
you figure don't got no tongue?

Elizabeth Brundy,
I hereby arrest you

for the murder of Frank Blain,

your former employer
and proprietor of Frank's Inferno.

(dramatic music)

Your past done caught up with you, Liz.

(swelling music)

(Sam): As life progresses,

images blur.

All that remains
are memories.

I remember her well.
(Sam giggling)

She was a warrior.

Always in control.

(soft music)

I've often wondered
what she was thinking about

on her way down.

I like to think she thought of me.

I like to think she knew
I would grow up to be strong.

(muffled gunshots)

I remember her well.

At least I think I do.

It feels like she always
stayed with me.

Watching over me.

(little girl humming)
Protecting me.

Hey, come on. Put that down.

(birdsong)

- Mama?

You coming?

(birdsong)

(soft music)

(thundering music)

(soft, dramatic music)

(soft music)
