He means you harm.

Could he do any worse than this?

[Rebecca] It appears this Jakub contacted Father

in regards to a book:

De Vermis Mysteriis. Mysteries of the Worm.

[Ann] Enough is enough.

No story worth putting your life in jeopardy.

Read for yourself.

[Loa] It's Rebecca's writings.

She thinks we're cursed and Father's mad.

Is it your child?

It is.

[Faith] Put aside everything you thought you knew.

Jakub and his kind are undead.

I don't believe you.

How can you not believe these?

[doctor] The lack of bruising around the punctures,

I'd almost say that they were bites of some sort.

[Constable] But not human.

[Charles] I know of Jerusalem's Lot.

It was my great-grandfather's mining town.

[Rebecca] People tell stories about James Boone

and those who used to live there,

mostly to scare the kids.

I thought it was abandoned.

-[Rebecca] Come on! -[Honor] She's upstairs!

There's no greater sorrow for a parent

than to lose a child.

[Rebecca] Loa?

[Honor] Loa!

He'll see you now.

You harm them and I swear you'll never see that book.

Oh, whaler.

What mercy did you show Leviathan?

-[screaming] -No!

Yea, though I walk through the valley

[Stephen] Marcella.

-Grandfather's angry. -[Marcella gasps]

Tell us where you hid the book and I can keep you safe.

Don't run from me, child. I'm your father.

You're a monster!

[panting]

-[growls] -[whimpers] Grandfather!

[Marcella whimpers]

Where is the book?

-[gasps] -Stop!

Father, that's enough.

[thunder crashing]

[whimpers]

Stay away!

Tell me where you hid it. All will be forgiven.

[thunder crashing]

Tell us, or I will bleed the truth from you.

[shouts]

-[bones cracking] -[Stephen] Marcella!

No! No...

No.

Save your tears for Jakub.

You can beg his forgiveness.

[indistinct chatter]

[Constable sighs]

[doctor] You can't just lock her up like that.

That's your wife. What, have you lost all sense?

[Constable] Perhaps.

But I know who I fought.

Even if Phillip Boone is alive...

I'm not so sure he was.

Surely you don't believe this?

Logically, no.

[doctor] But Mary does have irregular wounds

hidden beneath her hair. I found the same marks

on William Albright and Francis Blair.

-You said they were bites. -I said they could be.

Faith Pringle spoke of bites.

She has scars on her body.

Did she say what from?

People.

From Jerusalem's Lot. She said they...

they drank her blood.

-How many people? -I don't know.

I didn't believe her. I thought she was delusional.

Martin, will you watch Mary for an hour?

[Constable] Let no one near her.

We need to speak with Elizabeth Cloris.

George...

Why me?

If Phillip Boone is alive and comes back,

I'm not much of a fighter.

Fighting didn't chase him off last night.

This did.

[door opening]

[breathing heavily]

[door closes]

[Honor, muffled] Father will come.

He will tell us what happened.

[sobbing]

It's okay, Tane. Don't cry.

It's okay, Tane.

Father, is she really...

She is.

-[Tane sobs] -Tane. Come.

[sobs]

[Charles] We'll clean her.

[sniffling]

And we'll choose her favorite dress.

[footsteps approaching]

Charles.

She's gone.

[Charles] What happened?

We went to the boarding house as planned.

I put them to bed.

All together.

But when I went to check on them, Loa was gone.

I suspected she'd come here, and we rode straight away.

When was that?

Shortly after midnight.

When we arrived, the door was wide open.

We searched every room,

every hidden passageway in this terrible house.

You entrusted me with the safety of your children,

and I failed.

I'll never forgive myself.

[Charles] I saw Loa with Stephen.

[sighs] I knew she was in danger.

You rode to Jerusalem's Lot for your family.

You had to go.

I met with him...

Jakub.

He calls himself "vampire."

Stephen and Phillip are the same.

What does that mean?

Undead.

The wounds on my daughter are bites.

They drank her blood.

[Rebecca gasps]

No...

That's what they do.

[Charles] They'll use my children to get to me.

[animals bleating]

[horse snorts]

Tell me everything.

Now!

I can only tell you what I know.

Phillip and Stephen started spending time

in Jerusalem's Lot.

I rarely saw them.

And never during the day.

One afternoon...

the house was so quiet,

I presumed they'd left.

I went into Phillip's room,

and I found them...

dead.

I was stunned. I couldn't...

fathom what had happened.

Marcella said they were sleeping.

I assumed she was distraught. Confused.

I brought the child home with me.

I... put her to bed.

And I was on my way to see you when...

Phillip Boone... came to my door,

very much alive.

He said that I must return to work...

and never speak of what I'd seen.

Or...

[trembling breath]

...he would bleed the life out of me and Marcella.

That's when I knew they'd become something...

truly unholy.

You must keep Phillip Boone away from Mary.

I've tried everything.

I can't stop him.

If Phillip is feeding, he'll do so until Mary dies.

But if she has fed on him,

-she'll join him. -Join him how?

She'll live for eternity.

A creature of the night.

Hunting humans and feasting on their blood.

So, if she has fed...

Then she is no longer your wife.

I've heard enough.

[door slams]

You knew all this...

...and you let Charles Boone

and those three children move into that house?

-And I am damned for doing so. -[door bangs shut]

[Mary] Minister?

Where's George?

He went to town on an errand.

But he'll be back soon.

I'm thirsty. May I have water?

Of course.

Can you bring it to me?

I don't have a key.

I have the illness.

That's why he's locked me in here.

George fears me.

I'm sure he's just trying to do what's best for you.

I'm dying.

Like all the others.

We don't know that.

You've gotta remain strong in your faith, Mary.

Would you like to pray?

I would.

[Mary whimpering softly]

All power and glory is Yours, Lord our God,

for You have called us to serve You in love.

Bless Mary, so that she may be able to bear this illness

in union with Your Son's obedient suffering.

Restore her to health, and deliver her to glory.

Amen.

I've been a good servant to God, haven't I?

There are none better.

And will He welcome me into His kingdom when I die?

If death comes,

I am certain that He Himself will be your shepherd.

He speaks to me.

Who does?

God.

And what does he say?

He offers me His blood

so I will live forever.

In the dark.

[Rebecca] There are those who live...

...and those who feed off that living.

The latter are cowards.

They find comfort and safety

living in the background, the shadows.

Am I so different from these vampires?

[footsteps approaching]

[knocking softly]

I want to say

how sorry I am for writing the story.

Why did you lie?

I have a job

to write for a very prestigious magazine.

It's something I've wanted my whole life.

But I lost confidence in myself.

I didn't think that I had the talent

to create a story worthy of this publication.

So I took yours.

And that was wrong.

You hurt us.

I know.

I made a terrible mistake.

I love you both very much.

You and Henry are gonna have to leave without me.

No. Don't do this.

You'd abandon me and your son?

For... for what? For Alice?

No. That's not it.

Something wicked has taken root

in Preacher's Corners.

You know this already.

You have been trying to tell me. I know that,

and I didn't listen to you.

They're my congregation, Faith.

I can't leave them in their hour of need.

There's nothing you can do for them.

They're all going to die.

Why?

Is it Phillip Boone?

Phillip Boone means nothing.

I told you, the real evil is in Jerusalem's Lot.

It's Jakub.

When he comes, he'll bring the Worm.

I'm told that Phillip Boone fears the cross.

Does Jakub fear it as well?

Jakub fears nothing.

May I?

I love you, Faith.

And I love our Henry.

Father would like to see you.

Come in.

The children told me about your story.

Is it true?

Did you take the job as governess so that...

you could write about us?

I did.

My ambition got the better of me.

I opened my home to you.

I spoke to you in confidence.

And I broke that trust.

I'm sorry.

It's almost dark. It's not safe to travel.

I believe Stephen and Phillip may be near.

If they're coming for me, it will be tonight.

Has this tragedy played out to your satisfaction?

-Minister. -Minister Burroughs.

Alice?

Hello?

-Alice? -Do not speak to her.

[Samuel] You've lost that privilege.

I gave you my congregation...

and my daughter's hand,

and this is how you repay us?

By bringing shame to our door.

I'm sorry, Samuel. I will not speak to you

about our personal business.

This is between husband, wife and God.

God disavowed you

and this town...

...the moment you fornicated with that street walker.

[Alice sighs]

You have lied before God,

and he has punished us all for it.

That is not how God works.

The arrogance.

To know the mind of God.

I should drag you out into the street

and beat you like a dog.

But Alice begged me not to.

Take your belongings and go.

[Martin] Alice?

I am sorry that I was not strong enough

to heal this terrible wound that we share.

Minister Burroughs.

Good afternoon, Ann.

Faith left an hour ago with her baby.

She was in a rush,

so she hired a coach

to take her to the train in Cumberland.

I'm not here for Faith. I'm here for a room.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry I don't feel well.

I'm sorry, too.

It'll all be over shortly.

No more pain.

I'm not afraid.
