- I failed.

- Don't be a

- You don't understand.

- I don't need
to understand.

All I know is that the girl
couldn't have acted alone,

and that's enough for me.

[swords clanging]

[swords clanging]

[tense music continues]

Once I'm done with
you, blacksmith,

I'm going to

Get over there!

If we just, if we
destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any
of this from happening?

- [Old Man Voiceover] And
should we fail? What then?

There are dark
forces at work.

This book is all we
have in the struggle

against those forces.

Without it, I fear
we would be exposed.

This is the last message

I will leave for
you, William.

Time is against me
now, but not for you.

If I should fail, then
fate will come full circle.

If it does, then the
task will fall to you.

The path is clear,
left to us in the book

by all those who
came before.

Tonight, a chain of events
will be set in motion,

and four days from
now we will have our
chance to save her.

But should Twyla
attend the trial, or the
sheriff interfere,

then you will know that
something went wrong.

- And the screaming!

Woke the entire street,
the poor woman.

[footsteps tapping]

Terrible thing
to witness.

- Worse for the girl's
parents, I imagine.

[horseshoes clanking]

[coins clinking]
Thank you.

[metal clanging]

- I heard you speaking
with Christopher.

- He was telling me
that a girl in town

murdered her
parents last night.

- How awful.

- It's just that he was
woken by the screams.

- I think I was too.

I woke up last night

and I was sure I could
hear someone screaming.

- He said it happened
near Gastrode,

that's on the other
side of town.

Okay, so I'm gonna head
to the market today.

[horseshoes clinking]

I need you to give
these to Emma.

- Of course.

- Thanks.

[people chattering]
[upbeat fiddle music]

- [Marshall] What's up?

[footsteps tapping]

- Sheriff Crawford
is here, sir.

[book thuds]

[Johanna whimpering]

[soft ominous music]

[keys jingling]

- Judge Hopkins, sir.

- Marshall.

- Is this the girl?

- Johanna Fletcher,
daughter of Aaron

and Matilda Fletcher,
now deceased.

- I find it hard
to believe that this
innocent looking girl

butchered her parents in
the middle of the night.

- No one is
innocent, Sheriff.

Dawnbrook is a
town rife with sin

and I intend
to cleanse it.

[footsteps tapping]

[ominous music]

[Johanna whimpering]

- I know this girl.

She comes from
a good family.

- Evidently you
didn't know this girl

as well as you
thought you had.

- And I'm just
thinking that,

that there may be
more to this, sir.

- The only thing we
have here is an absence

of God in these
people's lives.

- But if this girl
were innocent,

then surely her conviction
would be an injustice.

- Do not lecture me
on justice, boy.

I have been dispensing the
Lord's justice for years.

- This week's
takings, sir.

- My daughter will
deal with that.

Rose!

Do you know what the people
used to call this town?

- No, sir.

- They called it
the Devil's Door.

The people here knew
only wickedness.

Ungodliness.

I purged this town
of its witches,

and brought order
to the chaos.

"Thou shalt not
suffer a witch to live."
Book of Exodus.

I won't have my
years of hard work

undone by these
godless peasants.

I hope you have
good news for me.

- Yes, sir.

Seems the tanner's wife
saw the girl last night.

She could bear
witness to the crime.

- And this one?

- I caught this rat stealing
whilst I was in the market.

Thought a few hours
in the cell would
teach her a lesson.

- Carry on.

Sinners, boy, every
last one of them.

[people chattering]

- [Marshall] Where can
I find this woman?

- The tanner's wife.
In the market, sir.

- As you were.

[lively fiddle music]

[people chattering]

[feet scuffle]

[Crawford spits]

Peter Brown.

- Yes. Oh!

Sheriff Crawford, sir.

Beg your pardon, sir,

but the rates aren't due
till the end of the month.

My husband and
I aren't quite-

- Relax, woman.

I have no interest
in your money.

I'm here about the rather
distressing experience

you had this morning.

- Oh, oh, I see.

- Look, I know these matters
might be difficult for you

to think about right now,

but if you have any
details about what you saw,

it may be helpful.

- I heard a scream

and I went out to
see what it was.

That's when I saw her.

In her hands she had-

- I know what
she had. Okay?

What else can
you tell me?

- There you go.
- Thank you, Twyla.

- Thank you.

- There was a man.

He had a great big
hooded coat on

and he was holding his
hand out to her like that.

- Did he speak to you?

- No, sir. He ran
when he saw me.

- Did you see his face?

- No, sir.

[foreboding music]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Let me see what you have.
I'll take two of the apples.

- Okay. Two apples.

[foreboding music]

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I'm afraid I've put your
life in grave danger.

- My husband is
expecting me.

I really have
to be going.

- Tomorrow, there
will be a trial.

The girl, Johanna
will be convicted

of the murder
of her parents.

- We have no interest in
such things. Let me go.

- Do you believe in
the devil, Twyla?

Before the trial is done,

Johanna will point
you out as a witch.

You and your husband
will be arrested.

After the trial is done,

you will be convicted
and then hanged

unless we do something.

- No, no. You're not
making any sense.

Please let me go.

- I swear I
speak the truth.

- I really need
to be going.

Let me go.

- No matter what happens,
you must stay away.

[foreboding music]

[ominous music]

[apple crunching]

- Good day to you.

[intriguing music]

- Sheriff.

Sheriff.
- What do you want?

I just, I just heard
some old bloke

accuse the blacksmith's
wife of witchcraft.

- An old bloke, you say?

[ominous music]
[water dripping]

[keys jingling]

I need to know what
happened last night.

A man spoke to me today

and he told me Twyla Smith
is responsible for this.

Is that true?

- Annabelle.

- Who's Annabelle?

- Goosey goosey gander,
whither shall I wander?

Upstairs and downstairs,
and in my lady's chamber.

There I saw an old man, Who
wouldn't say his prayers,

So I took him by
his left leg,

and threw him
down the stairs.

[metal clanging]

- William Smith?

- Judge Hopkins.

What do I owe
the pleasure?

- It's not a social
call I'm afraid.

May we, er, go inside?

- Please.

Please help yourself.

- I trust word
has reached you

of the heinous events that
took place last night.

- Yes.

I've never heard
of such brutality.

- Indeed.

Instances like these
are particularly rare.

- [William] What does the
sheriff make of it all?

- He's making
his inquiries.

But I however,
am in no doubt

that the devil's hand has had
a part to play in all this.

- You suspect witchcraft?

- Not something to
be taken lightly.

I want to move
swiftly to a trial.

- And you're
recruiting jury men.

That's why you're here.

- I need hardly express the
graveness of the situation.

I trust I can count
on your support.

- Of course.

- William!

Oh, Judge Hopkins, sir.

I didn't see you there.

- Are you all
right, my dear?

You seem somewhat
distressed.

- Of course. It's
just been a long day.

- Mm.

- To what do we
owe the pleasure?

- I assume you heard
what occurred last night.

I've asked your husband
to perform his civic duty

and serve as a juryman.

I understand these matters
may be difficult for...

delicate ears, my dear.

- Yes.

I'm sure I will
feel more at ease

once the Lord's
justice has been done.

- Of course.

And I wish you
both good day.

- Please, have a safe
journey back into town.

[footsteps tapping]

- Something's
troubling you.

- [sighs] Today
in the market,

an old man spoke to me.

He told me there
would be a trial tomorrow
for that girl.

The man, he said, he
said that that girl

is some sort of devil
and that we are all
in great danger.

- You do have delicate
ears, don't you?

- But William, he said
that I shouldn't go

and that terrible things
will happen to us both.

William, he said that
the girl will accuse me

of witchcraft in front
of the whole town.

You know what happens

to people-
- Yes, I do. I do.

- Accused of such
things, William.

- These sound like
the ramblings of a
crazy old man, okay.

[gentle music]

[people whispering
indistinctly]

[foreboding music]

[people chattering]
[lively fiddle music]

- A trader from
north of the wall

came through
town last week.

He left this here
and he calls it gin.

[people chattering]
[lively fiddle music]

[people cheering]

- Gastro.

- The one and
only blacksmith.

- Two tankards of your
finest ditch water.

[coins clinking]

Cheers.

[tankards thud]

[Gastro laughs]

- The drink is bad

and yet I require so much
of your coin, blacksmith.

- That you do.

[coins clinking]

- Alright then,
lovelies. Who's next?

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Thank you.

[people chattering]

- William! William!

Look it's him.

- What's troubling
you, my love?

- Nothing.

- As crazy as
the old man is,

I agree that the
trial tomorrow is no
place for you.

These kinds of affairs
aren't pleasant.

Judge Hopkins only
asked for me.

So just don't
trouble yourself with
it any further.

Bring the girl in.

[door clicks]

[crowd gasps]

[guard's footsteps thud]

Johanna Fletcher, you are
charged with the crime

of murder on two counts,

of Aaron and
Matilda Fletcher, your
father and mother.

Do you have anything
to say in defense of
these allegations?

You may not
want to speak,

but rest assured, child,

the Lord knows all the
darkness in your heart.

No amount of silence
will keep that from him.

- I don't want to die.

- Bring Eda
Brown forward.

The good sheriff
informs me

that you had the misfortune
of finding the girl.

Would you be so
kind as to recount the
events of last night

to the honorable
members of the jury?

Just start at
the beginning.

- I was awoken by
a loud scream.

I stepped out of my home to
see what the commotion was.

That's when I saw them.

- [Marshall]
Come with me.

- Where are we going?

- [Eda] A man
and the girl.

- To see the
blacksmith's wife.

[suspenseful music]

- Sheriff Crawford, sir.
- Good morning.

- I would've expected
you to be at the trial.

- I might've expected
the same from you, dear.

- I'm afraid my
husband is sitting

as juryman at
that very trial.

I expect he won't return

for some time if you
were looking for him.

- Well, it was actually
you I wish to speak to.

If you have a
moment, of course.

- Of course.

- You and your
husband serviced

almost everyone
in Dawnbrook,

which puts you in a
very unique position

to know the comings and
goings in this town.

- [Twyla] I'm not sure
I follow you. sir.

- Yet, it concerns
me that there is more
to this incident

than has yet
revealed itself.

Perhaps you have heard
or seen something?

- Well, my husband and I
knew the family of the girl.

We're as distraught
and confused as anyone.

- So you don't know
of any wrongdoings

here in Dawnbrook, no?

- No, sir.

- So what is this?

- Um, a key.

My husband's a blacksmith.
He cuts many keys.

[keys jingling]

- This, this is the key
to one of my prison cells.

- Well, I'm sure there's
an explanation for this.

- Oh, there is and
we're gonna find out.

Give me that key!

- Come on, you.

[tense music]

- The man, he was
standing in the street-

- I'm not interested in
the man in the street.

The girl was the one covered
in blood, was she not?

- Yes, sir.

- The blood of her
father and mother

who were so cruelly
brutalized in their sleep.

You may return
to your place.

[footsteps tapping]

After the examinations
of Johanna Fletcher

and of the heinous
events that took place,

how does the jury
find the defendant?

- Guilty beyond any doubts
for the crime of murder.

A crime willfully committed
against the laws of God

and under the influence
of the devil himself.

[crowd muttering]

- Order! Order!
[gavel bangs]

Johanna Fletcher, do
you have anything to say

before your sentence is
heard before this court?

So be it.

Due to the revelation
of your guilt

and of the serious
nature of your crimes,

it is my duty to bestow upon
you the sentence of death.

You will be taken
from this place

and held in custody
until such time

when you'll be hanged
from the neck until dead!

I hardly think this is a

- Mother says there's

- Your mother is
dead, by your hand.

- [chuckles] Not her.

My real mother.

[eerie music]

- Who is your
real mother,

if not the woman
who raised you?

- She's here with us now.

[ominous music]
[crowd gasps]

[crowd mutters]

- Bring her forward.

- Judge, Judge Hopkins, your
honor, the girl is mistaken.

Twyla has had nothing
to do with this.

This is a mistake.

[Twyla whimpers]

- Do you have
anything to say

in defense of
these allegations?

- I have no idea why she
would think I'm her mother.

I've only ever seen
this girl in passing.

- We're too
young to have...

If she'd had a child that
would be this age by now.

This is obviously
a mistake.

- I do not understand why

or how the devil
chooses to interfere
with decent people,

but rest assured, I will
get to the bottom of this.

- [groans] Like we
did here today!?

- Hold your tongue,
blacksmith.

- How many innocent
people have been sent

to the gallows in these
so-called trials?

- How dare you
question my judgment.

I act upon the
grace of God.

Take them both!

[people yelling]
[tense music]

- No, William, no!

Stop! Someone!

[tense music continues]

William! William!

- Let me go!

[tense music continues]

[dog barking]

- The old man from
the market was right.

- If I could just
talk to Judge Hopkins

we could make him
understand this is just...

we could explain
it to him.

We are decent
God-fearing people.

This shouldn't be
happening to us.

[ominous music]

- Is it time to play?

- No. No, no, no.

No! No!

No! No!

- Twyla! Twyla!

[Twyla gasping]

- [Old Man] William?

You have to get
her out of there.

Take these keys.

I always thought the ale

We need to get out of town

guards won't last long.

Soon they'll realize
you're missing.

- You said this
would happen.

What's happening to me?

- I know you both have
a lot of questions

but now it's
not the time.

[tense music]

- Stop right there!

[intense music]

[Thomas panting]

- None of the men

- I understand

on guard the entire night

No one saw them leave.

- They escaped into the
woods sir, I lost them.

- Then go back into the
woods and find them.

- Sorry, sir. I chased them
for as long as I could.

- I want your
men, Marshall,

back in those woods
at first light.

Find the blacksmith
and his wife and bring
them back here

or there will be
consequences.

- There's an evil
taking hold of my town

and I want it dealt with.

Move up the girl's
execution for tomorrow.

I want the matter
resolved swiftly.

- What are you
waiting for?

- Sir!

- What do you actually
know about witchcraft?

- Devil worship.

- There is much outside
the world you know

that is hard
to understand

and people fear what
they don't understand.

Understanding requires
an open mind,

something that men in
power rarely possess.

It is far easier for them

to maintain their
order through fear.

Their religions,
their laws,

are nothing more
than fear masquerading
as righteousness.

- Fear of what?

What's happening?

- The, the pages
in this book

contain the, the
knowledge of many things,

things that are

hidden from our
modern world.

A world built on a lie.

- What lie?

[intriguing music]

- That the devil is
something to be feared.

[fire sizzles]
[eerie music]

- I don't understand, if,
if, if not for the devil

then what drove the
girl to murder.

- The words

are a calling

to the gatekeepers
of the underworld.

A corner of existence
where all souls end up

and this is the key.

With this,

one would be able to
traverse the vast ocean

of the lost souls within

and with the right focus,

able to find and
return a loved one.

But there is more.

The underworld is home

to far more than just
the souls of mankind.

And the passageway
between worlds

is much sought after by
the demonic forces within.

This mark will allow
whoever travels,

to roam the
underworld unharmed,

but to attempt the
journey without it,

the traveler would become
a vessel for those forces

to cross into our world.

- Why are we in the
middle of all of this?

- Time is a complex
force in this world,

but like most things, it is
not immune to manipulation.

Drinking this

when Saturn and the
constellation Eridanus

align in the night sky

opens a flowing stream,

carrying whoever has consumed
the elixir to the last time

Eridanus aligned.

36 years ago,

I sat exactly where
you sit right now

starting out on a journey

that has led me back
to this very moment.

You want to know how you're
involved in all of this?

[intriguing music]

I am you, William.

[William scoffs]

- So, so you,

you're saying that
you're, that you're,

you are me.

[intense music]

- [Old Man] All of this
has happened before.

I thought my journey had
found a happy ending.

We left this place

and moved to the far northern
reaches of this country.

- You caught me,
you're too fast.

- [Old Man] Our
daughter Annabelle
completed our family

and we were so in love.

- And who are
these ones then?

- This is Mommy
and this is Daddy.

- Wow.

And what about
this little one?

- She is a baby one.

She loves the color red.

- But that's your
favorite color.

- [Annabelle]
It's hers too.

- I kept the book safe,
hidden for years,

just as I'd been
told to do in order to
keep my family safe.

Looking back, I know

that Annabelle must have
known about the book.

[gentle music]

The years passed.

We grew older and my
Twyla became sick.

[Twyla gasping]

[mournful music]

- Mum!

- When her time came-
- Mum!

- [Old Man] Annabelle
was unable to let go.

[ominous music]

Consumed by grief in
a moment of madness,

she looked to the
book for help.

[ominous music]

[Annabelle speaking
foreign language]

Annabelle tried to
recover her mother's soul.

Instead she brought
something much darker
through the door.

A parasite attaching
itself to Annabelle's soul.

It destroyed her
physical body,

leaving no trace of
my beloved daughter.

The demon

bound itself
to my daughter

and now it's trying
to reconnect with
Annabelle again.

- But Annabelle died.

- A part of
Annabelle died,

but a part now
exists again,

it's using girls
like Johanna

to draw you out.

It wants the
child within you.

[foreboding music]

Driven by
Annabelle's desire

to return to her
physical body.

- You mean I'm
already with child?

- If I can't stop it,

then you will
both be lost.

- Assuming that you
speak the truth,

what happens next?

- We must use the same
runes Annabelle used

trying to save my Twyla

and banish the demon
back from whence it came.

- We should go back
for the girl Johanna.

- There are a
infinite number

of Williams in
existence right now

across an infinite
number of worlds.

A new one created
with each journey

we take with this.

Each one of us has
added his own account

to the book in the search for
the solution to save Twyla.

If I follow the steps left
to me by the William before

and learn from
the mistakes,

then we shall put an
end to all of this.

Before this is done,

you will both make
your own journey

and in that world,

Johanna will be
alive and well.

But in this world,

I'm afraid she
will have to die.

[ominous scratching tone]

[Twyla gasps]

- [Soldier] Stop
falling behind.

[people speaking
indistinctly]

- I've seen what
the blacksmith's wife
did to that girl.

- We have to go.

[ominous music]

[guard gasps]

- Yeah, well I don't
wanna be stuck

out here all
day with you.

[guard gasps]

[suspenseful music]

They're out here,
in these woods.

- This could be a trap,

the witch could be
watching us right now.

- When you've stopped
acting like an infant girl,

report back to the town.

They're out
here somewhere.

Tell them if they want the
blacksmith and the witch

We're gonna need more
men to join the search.

- Okay.
- Go!

[suspenseful music]

[foot shuffling]

- [Old Man] This is where we
will make our preparations.

[eerie music]
[voices whispering]

[footsteps crunching]

- What will become
of the girl Johanna?

Leaving her to die is
something we cannot do.

- I trust myself,

which is why I trust
the advice given to
me in that book.

For us to get to
where we need to be,

the girl will
have to die.

- I cannot live
with that.

That is not who we are.

Promise me, William,

promise me you will not
leave me with that burden.

[somber music]

- I will try.

[pensive music]

I almost forgot
this conversation.

- Which conversation?

- The one we're
about to have.

- Because you've
been here before.

- Hm.

- If we just, if we
destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any
of this from happening?

- It would, but
at great risk.

I have come to
learn, as you will,

that there are dark
forces at work,

in this world
and in others.

This, this book
is all we have

in the struggle
against those forces.

Without it, I fear
we would be exposed.

- Twyla's all
I care about.

- And should we fail?

What then?

I once thought as you do.

I, I, I thought that if
I destroyed this page,

my love would never
be tempted to use it.

But that dark day came
to pass all the same.

It, it has taken me
years to rediscover it.

In order to reverse
what she did that day.

- But how, how is it
possible without this?

- That is a question
I, I, I cannot answer.

All I do know is
that the risk

of destroying this
book entirely

is one we cannot take.

It's the only tool
we have to save her.

- Tell me how
to save her.

- When the girl
Johanna is hung,

the demon will come
for another girl.

When that happens, I
will bring her out here

and we will use this

to banish the demon back
from whence it came.

- Did that work
before, in your world?

- I fear that if
you know too much

about what is to happen
then it, it, it can

risk it not
happening at all.

All I do know is that I
will bring the girl here.

- And how will you know where
the demon will strike next?

What if we're
condemning another
innocent girl to death?

- These were made by
my daughter, Annabelle.

The love that was
shared through these

between mother and
daughter is, is powerful.

They have a way of
enticing a demon

once held in the
hands of a child.

Twyla will not
be herself.

Take this candle.

This candle will keep
the demon at bay.

Use what is left of it.

I shall return
before it's done.

[ominous music]

[voices whispering
indistinctly]

[voice giggling]

- Hey.

Are you okay?

- I thought I
heard something.

- It's just the wind.

Come and sit with me.

[suspenseful music]

[water dripping]

[Johanna whimpering]

[suspenseful music]

- [Johanna] Help,
can you help me?

Please help me.

[eerie discordant tone]

- Step back.

[intense music]

[metal crackling]

[keys jingling]

- I'm sorry.
- Please.

[tense music]

- [Johanna] Please!
Don't leave me!

Please!

- [Marshall] Hey, you!

Stop right there!

[fiddle music]

- Sir?

- Useless!
[hand slaps]

- [Soldier] I think
they went this way.

- William!

- Shh.

[footsteps crunching]

[birds twittering]

[ominous music]

[Twyla gasps]

- Where's the blacksmith.

[Twyla whimpers]

[suspenseful music]

I'm gonna see you back
in the irons, witch.

[sword Scrapes]

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

[people chattering]

- Pretty, aren't they?

- Yes. Very.

- Seen anything in
particular you like?

- Not really.

- I have some more here.

They used to belong to
my daughter, Annabelle.

They're yours.

- Are you sure?

- She, she doesn't
use them anymore.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, you're welcome.

[pensive music]

[sword scrapes]

- [Soldier] Stop!

- We can't keep him here.

- I know.

But we can't let him
raise the alarm.

Not until you've got
the help you need.

[ominous music]

[owl hooting]

[door creaking]

[footsteps thud]

- The good sheriff Crawford!
What can I get for you?

- The usual.

[coins clinking]

- What news of the blacksmith
and his wife, sheriff?

- I don't believe that's any
of your business, innkeeper.

- All this talk of
witchcraft and murder.

People are nervous.

I was hoping maybe you'd
have some good news

I can pass on to
these fine people.

People are afraid to
go out after dark.

It's not good
for business.

- Well, yeah, well I'm
sure when I have some news

you'll be the
first to know.

Right now I have other
matters to take care of.

Matters that I've been
neglecting in town,

such as collecting taxes
off local businesses.

- If I hear anything
at all, sheriff,

be more than happy to
assist you in any way I can.

- Oh you will, Gastro,
That you will.

[door thuds]

- Sir.

- What is it?

- We have the old
man in custody,

the one we've
been looking for.

He had this on him.
[ominous music]

- Follow me.

[footsteps tapping]

[flame crackling]

- What happens when
that candle goes out?

- [sighs] Nothing good.

- You can't run forever.

- If people would listen,
I wouldn't have to run.

- He should be
back by now.

Something's wrong.

[suspenseful music]

[Twyla gasping]

- Twyla! Twyla!

I'll be back.

- William!

William!

[Twyla gasping]

[ominous music continues]

[eerie discordant tone]

[voice laughing]

[voice laughing]

[voice laughing]

- What is this book?

- Evil, Marshall.
Pure evil.

- Books are neither
good nor evil.

And there is no
soul on this Earth

who should understand
that more than you.

- All that I understand,
heretic, is that the fate

of that poor girl is not the
doing of any book I know.

[eerie music]

[child giggles]

- Wait! Wait, it's
not safe out here.

[child giggles]

- And this little one?

- That's the baby one.

She likes the color red.

[eerie music]

[Rose humming]

[eerie music]

- I found you.

- [laughs] You did.
You clever girl.

Now it's your turn.

Go!

[armor clinking]

- Go and get her.

[Johanna giggling]

- I found you.

- Now.

For pity's sake.

[eerie music]

- [Soldier] Do
not do this.

- I have to save her.

I'm so sorry.
- Please.

[both breathing heavily]

[tense music]

[sword scrapes]
[somber music]

[church bell chimes]

[William breathing
heavily]

[sword thuds]

[somber music]

[townsfolk
muttering softly]

- A dark time is upon us.

I know that the
decent, God-fearing
people of this town

sense it as much as I do.

The devil walks
amongst us,

in our towns, in our
streets and in our homes.

Sin is everywhere,

and it is sin that
draws the devil out

from his fiery
home of damnation

and lays the path out for
him to corrupt our lives

and the lives of
our children.

[keys jingling]

[tense music]

[Rose humming]

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

I know you fear this.

And fear it you should.

This heresy is a plague
amongst our town.

A plague I have
brought to an end.

I have found the heretic, the
witch who walks amongst us

and I bring
you salvation.

[people cheering]

Join with me, citizens
of Dawnbrook.

Let us show those who are too
weak to resist temptation

that the devil is
not welcome here.

[people cheering
and applauding]

Anyone who allows
a witch to escape

or does not punish them
with the utmost rigor

can be assured that they
will be abandoned by God

and left to the
mercy of Satan.

In contrast,

those who seek
vengeance against Satan

and his followers will
be blessed by God.

[suspenseful music]

May the Lord God have
mercy on your souls.

- Gods forgive me.

[sinister music]

[explosion bangs]
[people exclaim]

[tense music]

- If they're not back here
in my prison before sunrise,

the next execution
order I sign will be
yours, Marshall.

[tense music]

[child giggling]

[ethereal music]

[child laughing]

[child laughing]

[child laughing]

[eerie music]

- You found me.

[footsteps crunching]

- One, two,

three, four.

[eerie music]

[footsteps thudding]

- Listen, we have to
get back to Twyla.

- She's safe for now.

If we return
without the girl,

we'll have no chance
of saving her.

- You knew this
would happen.

You knew and you
said nothing.

- If I had told you
what would happen,

then there's a chance it
might not happen at all.

If you want to save her,
you'll have to trust me.

- So what do we do next?

- I need you
to take this.

Place your hand
on the page.

And say the words, then lead
the girl to the cottage.

I shall return once
my task is done.

- Where are you going?

- To deal with
the sheriff.

[ominous music]

- Any sign of them?
- No, sir.

- You make sure that
there are men posted
on every pathway

and road out
of this town.

I will not allow them to slip
through my fingers again.

As you were.

[eerie music]

[bell chiming]

[dramatic music]

[Rose screaming]

[keys jingling]

[eerie music]

[gate creaks]

[intense music]

[gate slams]

[keys jingling]

I will have your
head for this.

- You're meddling in things
you don't understand.

[Marshall yelling]

[eerie music]

[suspenseful music]

[lock clicking]

- [Marshall]
Come with me.

- [Soldier]
Where we going?

[eerie music]

[William breathing
heavily]

[voices whispering
indistinctly]

- What do we do now?

- Patience.

- We should be out
there looking for Twyla.

- Patience.

- Twyla!

What are you doing?

Demon's in there. Yes?

This was your plan to
lure out the demon.

- William.

We can still save
her, William.

We can still save her.

[suspenseful music]

- Search these woods.

Now!

[eerie music]

[voices whispering
indistinctly]

[tense music]

[eerie music]

[women screaming
inhumanly]

[Old man chanting in
foreign language]

[old man groans]

[William yells]

[old man gasping]

[somber music]

- I failed.

[suspenseful music]

- Don't be a
fool, blacksmith.

- You don't understand.

- I don't need
to understand.

All I know is that the girl
couldn't have acted alone.

And that's enough for me.

[swords clanging]

Once I'm done with
you, blacksmith,

I'm going to
hang your wife.

[swords clanging]
[William yells]

Get over there.

- I'm trying to
save my wife.

- Your wife is
nothing but a witch.

[William yells]
[swords clanging]

[both grunt]

[body thuds]

[somber music]

[Twyla breathing heavily]

[Old man panting]

[William thuds]

[ominous music]

- [Soldier] Look at this!

[tense music]

[intense music]

[gentle music]

- [William Voiceover]
If we just, if we
destroyed the book,

wouldn't that prevent any
of this from happening?

- [Old Man Voiceover]
And should we fail?

Then, there are dark
forces at work.

This book is all we
have in the struggle

against those forces.

Without it, I fear
we would be exposed.

[flames crackling]

[ominous music]

- We need to get far
away from all of this.

- I just burnt the page.
This can't happen again.

It can't hurt us anymore.

- There is more to this
than I care to understand.

- We have to do
things differently.

For Annabelle's sake.

[lively fiddle music]

- [Old Man Voiceover]
This is the last message

I will leave for
you, William.

Time is against me
now, but not for you.

If I should fail, then
fate will come full circle.

If it does, then the
task will fall to you.

The path is clear,
left to us in the book

by all those who
came before.

Tonight, a chain of events
will be set in motion

and four days from
now we will have our
chance to save her.

But should Twyla
attend the trial

or the sheriff interfere,

then you will know

that something
went wrong.

[dramatic music]

[books thudding]

[person sighing]

[soft, foreboding music]

- Holy shit!

[ominous music]

[gun bangs]
[body thuds]

[footsteps thudding]

[church bells chiming]

[intriguing music]
