Chapelwaite (2021) s01e06 Episode Script

1
He means you harm.
Could he do
any worse than this?
It appears this Jakub
contacted Father
in regards to a book:
De Vermis Mysteriis.
Mysteries of the Worm.
Enough is enough.
No story worth
putting your life in jeopardy.
Read for yourself.
It's Rebecca's writings.
She thinks we're cursed
and Father's mad.
Is it your child?
It is.
Put aside everything
you thought you knew.
Jakub and his kind are undead.
I don't believe you.
How can you not believe these?
The lack of bruising
around the punctures,
I'd almost say that
they were bites of some sort.
But not human.
I know of Jerusalem's Lot.
It was my great-grandfather's
mining town.
People tell stories
about James Boone
and those
who used to live there,
mostly to scare the kids.
I thought it was abandoned.
- Come on!
- She's upstairs!
There's no greater
sorrow for a parent
than to lose a child.
Loa?
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?
No!
Thy rod and Thy staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table
before me
in the presence of
mine enemies
Marcella!
Yea, though I walk
through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil
for thou art with me.
Marcella! Where are you?!
Marcella!
Marcella.
Grandfather's angry.
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!
Grandfather!
Where is the book?
Stop!
Father, that's enough.
Stay away!
Tell me where you hid it.
All will be forgiven.
Tell us, or I will bleed
the truth from you.
Marcella!
No! No
No.
Save your tears for Jakub.
You can beg his forgiveness.
Honor!
Honor!
No!
Oh, my God.
No, no,
no, no, no, no!
Father,
what's happened?!
Father? Father!
Father?
Open the door!
Father,
what's wrong with Loa?
You can't just
lock her up like that.
That's your wife.
What, have you lost all sense?
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.
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?
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.
Father will come.
He will tell us what happened.
It's okay, Tane. Don't cry.
It's okay, Tane.
Father, is she really
She is.
Tane. Come.
We'll clean her.
And we'll choose
her favorite dress.
Charles.
She's gone.
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.
I saw Loa with Stephen.
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.
No
That's what they do.
They'll use
my children to get to me.
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
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.
You knew all this
and you let Charles Boone
and those three children
move into that house?
And I am damned for doing so.
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.
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.
I'm so sorry.
I love you.
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?
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.
And I want you to know
I love you both very much.
And I hope someday
you can forgive me.
- I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
- I started to worry.
Do you have the tickets?
Martin.
What is it?
Only one.
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.
That's not enough.
When this is all over
God willing,
I want to join you out west.
I wish I could convince
you that dying
is not your penance
to pay for our love.
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done
Rebecca.
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.
Tomorrow,
you'll pack
your things and go.
Of course.
I understand.
Tell me
Has this tragedy played out
to your satisfaction?
Good day.
- Minister.
- Minister Burroughs.
Alice?
Hello?
- Alice?
- Do not speak to her.
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.
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.
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.
George.
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.
Whenever God's ready.
- I love you.
- Hmm
Why don't you close your eyes
for a little while?
May God forgive me.
I won't let you be like them.
- God have mercy.
- No! No!
Stop. Stop!
No! Stop it!
No!
You're safe now.
Don't slow down.
Please, go around him.
What are you doing?
Don't stop!
He might
need help up there.
Don't.
Is everything all right?
God help us.
You need help?
Run!
No!
Ah! No! Please!
No! Don't touch him!
Do what you will with me,
but I beg you
let my baby live.
Let me see it.
Give it to me.
Faith
You want this thing to live?
You know how little
Jakub cares for his children.
Please.
No one leaves
this room until dawn.
How can you be sure
Phillip and Stephen
will come tonight?
They left Loa
where I would find her.
It was a message.
They have something to say.
And much to answer for.
George.
Father
Why do your cousin
and uncle want to hurt us?
'Cause they are sick men.
I won't let them harm you.
They need to suffer
for what they did to Loa.
They will.
- Shh
- They're here!
Who's there?
Stephen?
Father?
I'm cold.
What is happening?
Let me in?
- Please?
- Oh, God!
I'm scared.
Honor?
Tane?
Open the door.
Don't let her in!
Come, Father.
Rebecca.
Stay here.
Lock the door.
Loa?
Loa?
Up here.
What's happened to you?
Look, Father.
No brace.
I don't need it anymore.
I'm free.
Come down here.
No.
You can't tell me
what to do anymore.
I'm with my new family now.
I'm one of them.
Hello, Cousin.
Guns are useless.
You should know that by now.
What have you done to her?
I gave her what you couldn't.
A life with no shame.
You brought this upon yourself.
Did you deal with Jakub?
I've made deals with no one.
Liar.
We've been watching you,
Charles.
We know you hear the book.
Follow its call.
When you find it,
you will quickly learn
that the book is, uh
demanding.
We can save you from it.
Bring it to us.
What?
Why would I
bring you anything?
Because if you bring
the book to Jakub,
he will kill you.
He has no further
use for you.
You belong with us.
We're your family.
You're not my family!
You lured me here with lies!
You murdered my child!
Find the book
and we'll let you
and your children live.
My daughter doesn't live!
Quite the opposite, cousin;
She lives forever,
and it's you who will die.
Bring us the book
and join her.
Drink from us and live.
No more curse.
The Boones will finally
have peace
and prosper
in the coming dark.
We'll be waiting, cousin.
Stephen!
Stephen!
Loa!
Loa!
