Chapelwaite (2021) s01e04 Episode Script
The Promised
1
He's not the child that
we envisioned, but he's ours.
I take it you put
Rose Mallory's
accusation to rest?
I believe
my cousin Stephen is alive.
I was lured here under
the pretense of an inheritance.
- To what end?
- I wouldn't know.
- Where are my shells?
- I didn't take 'em!
You found your necklace.
Is it the worms?
You see them, don't you?
Silence, Stephen,
and Phillip
were all driven mad by them.
I'm not mad.
It's hereditary.
Blood calls blood, son.
A strange girl
gave me an apple.
Tell your father
to find the book!
There were worms in it.
You saw them?
I did.
I'd better go.
There are no rats!
There are no rats!
Charles, no!
Mother?
Mother?
Mother!
- Yes, Phillip.
- Is that enough?
Can Robert and I
go outside now?
All right.
Father?
Father.
What time is it?
Midday.
Are you feeling okay?
I've never seen you
sleep for so long.
Tired, is all.
Here.
You should eat something.
Where's
your brother and sister?
Doing lessons
with Miss Morgan.
Loa's still upset.
Honor.
Come.
Last night
My behavior was indefensible.
You don't have to explain
yourself to me.
Rest.
Faith.
Who's there?
Faith
Faith.
Now look what
you've gone and done.
- Don't come any closer!
- Faith.
Is that any way
to treat an old friend?
I'm not goin' back.
Oh, sweetheart.
You never left.
You gave your blood.
Just like the rest of us.
You made a promise.
Always is always.
Forever, Faith.
I haven't said anything.
- I won't.
- We know.
But where do you think
you're running to?
His reach is infinite.
No one can hide
from the worm, child.
You can still be reborn, Faith.
Bring the minister
and your baby.
He won't mind.
Remember,
Jakub never loses a lamb.
Enter.
Happy to see
you're doing better.
I am. Thank you.
Charles, may I be frank?
Yes, of course.
Are the children and I
in danger
from you?
I can't answer that.
Sit, please.
When I was a boy,
my father tried to kill me.
I remember
kneeling above
the shallow grave
he had dug for me
waiting for the final blow.
It looked like him.
Moved, sounded like him,
but no sign of the man
I loved remained.
I will not have that
for my children.
So you believe you're
becoming like your father?
When I spoke with Dr. Frost
yesterday,
he confirmed my worst fears.
I see things.
Things that aren't real.
Things my father spoke of.
I have for some time now.
Charles
Even if I
never hurt my children,
I'm terrified that one day
they will suffer
from the same affliction
that tortures me.
S-s-so, what do you
intend to do?
I'm going to see Dr. Frost
this morning.
Charles
people don't return
from Frigate Island.
I need help.
I don't trust myself.
I'm so sorry. I
I never intended to burden you
with any of this. I
Besides my wife
I've never spoken of
my situation with anyone.
I trust you'll do the same.
Father!
Tane found
something in the barn!
I was going
to go down there,
but I thought
I heard someone.
What do you think
is down there?
I'm going to find out.
Tane, go inside
with Miss Morgan.
- But I found it!
- Inside.
Come on. We still have
a lesson to finish.
Honor, light a lamp.
I don't think it's safe
to go down there.
Hand me the lamp.
You son of a bitch.
Rebecca?
Charles?
Charles? Is that you?
The tunnel leads to the house.
There are passageways
inside the walls.
There's a room back here
that's been walled off.
An entire room?
Yes.
I found you,
you son of a bitch.
Don't stop for anyone or
anything until you reach Able.
Tell him to ride like
the wind and bring his rifle.
All right.
Stephen played me for a fool,
and put my family in peril.
I need to hunt him down
before he hurts anyone else.
Faith.
- My love.
- Martin.
We have to leave.
Have you bought the tickets?
- Soon.
- No!
There are a few things that
I have to do before we leave.
We don't have time.
We need to leave now.
And we will.
It's more complicated
than you can understand.
If we stay,
we're going to die.
Those people who harmed you,
they don't know
where you are.
You're wrong!
One of them came to me today.
They know where I am.
They know about you,
and our baby.
What?
Who came to you?
I I don't know her name.
Not her real name.
These people are evil.
They're unlike you or me.
Please, Martin.
Bad things are coming.
If you're not gonna leave
your wife, tell me.
Tell me so I can take
our child and go.
We will leave.
I'll get the tickets.
I will.
Mary?
What are you doing
out of bed?
It's so cold.
Dear Lord,
we commit
Thine blessed child,
Susan Mallory, taken from us
too soon, to the earth.
And we ask that
You fill our hearts
with forgiveness and love,
in place of hate.
That you heal us
with understanding
instead of anger.
That you grace us
with righteous truth
and deliver us from the devil's
poisonous salve of idle gossip.
Let us not become the beast
that feeds on sorrow
and vengeance,
heedless and heartless.
Let us instead
become the light
that can guide others through
this ever-present darkness
that seeks to consume us
in these trying times.
My child lies in dirt, while
my husband remains missing!
Rose, we've searched.
Why aren't you turning over
every inch of Chapelwaite
looking for him? Rose, please.
It's the Boones that did this!
She named her killer!
I know you're upset
Why are you not hunting
Stephen Boone!?
Because he's dead, Rose.
Better you leave,
Constable,
before I earn
a stay in your cell.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Mr. Boone?
Able.
Thank you for coming.
Yes, sir.
Is it Thompson
and his friends again?
Worse.
We have a stowaway.
My cousin Stephen
is living inside
the walls of this house.
I'm gonna capture him
before he can do any more harm.
- It's true.
- It's almost dark.
That's when he returns.
I'll need you both
to protect Loa and Tane.
Yes, sir.
Close it.
I couldn't find you
at the reception.
I'm-I'm not feeling
quite altogether.
It's over now.
Rose Mallory left early.
I know how she feels.
Who can stand small talk
and endless consolation
when your child lies fresh
in the ground?
Why does
the grass never grow here?
Everything rots.
They would be six next week.
I know.
Sometimes I worry that they've
drifted from your heart.
Never.
And have I drifted
from your heart?
No.
Of course not.
You should go home, Alice.
Try to get some rest.
Thank you for coming.
It means a lot to me,
and my father.
Of course.
Able.
The other night I didn't mean
to embarrass you.
I shouldn't have.
I just thought
you might have liked it.
Me.
I mean, the kiss.
I don't know what
I'm trying to say.
I do.
Like you, I mean.
- Then why didn't you
- I can't.
Wecan't.
If I was caught
kissing a white girl
I'd be strung up.
- I'm not white.
- White enough to get me killed.
- What if
- There are no ifs!
Not for folks like me.
Does Mr. Boone
really believe
his cousin is
inside this house?
You saw the tunnel.
I knew Phillip
and Stephen Boone.
I worked for both of them.
They were normal men.
Until they weren't.
Your father
there's a weight on him.
I've seen it before.
It's what drove Phillip
and Stephen crazy
My father isn't mad!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to offend you.
My mother's death
changed everything.
We're all
a little different now.
He's just never grieved.
He's the strongest man I know.
Constable?
Mrs. Dennison?
Mrs. Dennison?
You there!
It can't be.
No!
What in blazes
are you doing out here?
Phillip Boone!
What?
Phillip Boone!
I just saw him!
He was in your home!
- I followed him here.
- Rebecca, slow down!
He's alive, Mr. Dennison!
We thought it was Stephen
at Chapelwaite,
- but it's not, it's Phillip!
- Stop it! Stop it!
I saw him.
He attacked Mary.
Damn it. Go home!
You go home now.
Mother?
Rebecca!
What's the matter?
The windows upstairs.
Are any open?
I don't think so.
We need to check every one,
make sure
they're fastened tight.
And lock every room, too.
Rebecca, stop.
Wha-what do
Explain yourself.
Phillip Boone is alive.
He attacked Mary Dennison!
Phillip Boone is dead.
No, he is not.
I saw it myself.
How many guests
do you have here?
There's no one here
but Faith and I.
Find Father's gun!
Protect yourselves.
I have to go.
Rebecca, it's Chapelwaite.
It's got you out of sorts.
Stay here, for heaven's sake!
I need to get back to warn
Charles and the children.
If Philip Boone appears,
shoot him.
And lock the doors behind me!
Do you think Father's okay?
I don't.
Of course he is.
He tried to kill me
last night.
- That's not true.
- He's sick.
Loa!
Is Father really sick?
No.
Someone's on the stairs.
- Tane. Stay back.
- Come here.
You remind me of my daughter.
Who are you?
I'm Stephen.
Your father's cousin.
The one who invited you
here, Loa.
How how do you know
my name?
I know many things.
I know that
you're not happy here.
I know that you're sad.
And angry.
You must feel very alone,
don't you?
I know loneliness, too.
My father
is looking for you.
Is he?
He has a gun.
I worry about his health.
He seems troubled.
Unwell.
But you know that already,
don't you?
What's it's like,
where you are?
I'm right here, Loa.
No, you're not.
You're between here
and there.
Come, let's speak of
happier things. Tell me
How do you like
your necklace?
One could hardly tell
it was broken.
That was you?
Such a beautiful gift.
Your mother has fine taste.
"Had."
"Has," child.
You knew my mother?
I knowyour mother.
No! No, that's not true!
I don't believe it!
My mother is dead!
No one's ever really dead.
Not if they don't want to be.
Would you like to see her?
You stay away from her!
Don't hurt him, Father!
No!
Stephen!
You look at me,
you son of a bitch.
Find the book, cousin.
What is wrong with you?
You can still save
your children.
You wanted me here.
Well, I'm here.
But you leave
my family out of this.
I can't do that.
No!
Mr. Boone
My God.
Was someone here tonight?
Was there a man in the room?
I felt his love.
I didn't want to come back.
Didn't want
to leave the light.
What light, Mary?
Whose love?
God's.
Here.
Phillip and Stephen.
Both are alive.
How is this possible?
I don't know.
What if he comes back?
Tonight we stick together.
No one sleeps alone.
Are you all right?
Tell me what he said to you.
What did he say to you, Loa?
What did he want?!
Speak to me!
Charles!
Charles Boone!
Who are you?
What do you want?
Not another step.
He talks a lot about you.
Who are you?
We're the Promised.
This must all be
so confusing for you.
Jakub has the answers.
What answers?
To that madness you feel
growing inside of you
and in all
their pretty little bones.
Who is this Jakub?
Jakub is forever.
He wants to see you.
Tomorrow.
In Jerusalem's Lot.
Don't dally, Captain.
Lives are at stake.
- The worm doth corrupt.
- No!
You have a pretty family.
He's not the child that
we envisioned, but he's ours.
I take it you put
