Chapelwaite (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

De Vermis Mysteriis

1
Tell us where you hid
the book
or I will bleed
the truth from you.
Phillip and Stephen,
they're to blame
for your wife's illness
and for all the others.
I knew they'd become
something truly unholy.
Fighting didn't
chase him off last night.
This did.
The real evil, it's Jakub.
When he comes,
he'll bring the Worm.
All that you believe
is madness
that is my book, calling you.
If she has fed
Mary is
no longer your wife.
May God forgive me.
Faith left an hour ago
with her baby.
She hired a coach
to take her to the train.
The children told me
about your story.
Pack your things and go.
You hurt us.
I made a terrible mistake.
God,
He offers me His blood
so I will live forever,
in the dark.
How can you be sure Phillip
and Stephen will come tonight?
It was a message.
They left Loa
where I would find her.
They need to suffer
for what they did.
They will.
Stephen?
- What's happened to you?
- I'm one of them.
I don't need my brace anymore.
Hello, cousin.
We know you hear the book.
Bring it to us.
Listen to its cry
and De Vermis Mysteriis
will lead you to it.
We'll be waiting.
Loa!
Loa!
Loa!
Loa?
Loa, why didn't you stop?
You have to mind me.
Blood calls blood, son.
When the book speaks,
listen to its cry
andDe Vermis Mysteriis
will lead you to it.
Where are you?
Answer me!
It's all right, Father!
Loa!
Come to me.
I can't.
I'm so sorry.
I couldn't stop them. I
- I failed you.
- No.
I wanted this.
You couldn't have.
They took your life!
Stephen's telling the truth.
I can feel it.
Mother's waiting for us all.
We can be a family again.
I want to believe that, too.
More than anything. But
they're using you, Loa.
You mustn't trust them.
Please.
You're suffering, Father.
I don't like it.
There's no pain here.
They can make that go away.
Don't you want that?
Come to me.
Give me the book,
and we can all be
together again, forever.
You don't understand.
I've seen what the book is.
Stephen told me
it's a new beginning.
He lies.
There is no birth
in their world, Loa.
It's all death in this book.
It's the end
of everything.
Give me the book.
It doesn't belong to us.
Save Honor and Tane.
Save yourself!
I'm so sorry.
For everything.
You saw the Worm.
The first God.
Now you know.
We have to stop it.
We can't.
One day it will happen, Charles.
The undead will find their book
and free the Worm.
It may be Jakub.
It may be someone
a hundred years from now.
Or it can be us.
You can free a God and
curry its favor. Imagine that.
You can rule
in the coming dark
or you can serve
those who do.
That call in your head
will become unbearable.
There's no honor
in fighting it.
You will break.
The book will win.
Give it willingly
and free yourself!
Free yourself!
No.
No.
He has found the book.
Charles?
My God,
what happened to you?
Where have
you been all night?
I found the book.
Jakub told me if I listened,
it would lead me to it.
You're shivering.
Come inside.
Father!
You're all right!
Where's Loa?
Stephen and Phillip
have her.
Is she like them now?
She is.
What are you holding?
Children
I need a moment.
Leave me, please
We'll give you some time.
Rebecca.
Stay.
Jakub told me
my madness
and the madness suffered
by every Boone,
is connected to this book.
It's not hereditary
like I thought.
It's it's this.
Jakub said that if
I returned it to him,
my children and I would
would be freed
from its curse.
That's De Vermis Mysteriis?
How do you know that?
It was in the letters
I found in the study.
My father brought
Jakub to Maine.
Jakub wanted to buy that book
from your uncle.
My father brokered the meeting
between the two.
There's also
a very good chance
Phillip and Stephen
killed my father because of it.
We cannot
let them have it.
Why not? If it'll free you and
the children, give it to him.
Do you believe in God?
I do.
If this book
falls into their hands
then God dies.
Give it to me.
- I can hide it for you.
- No.
Nobody goes near this but me.
Why did Father want
to speak to her?
Is he angry with us?
I don't know, Tane.
Phillip and Stephen will come
for this book tonight.
We have to protect it.
Why do they want it?
To bring darkness.
But we won't let them.
We have to keep them
out of the house.
You must help me.
We need planks.
And paint.
Constable?
Hello?
Constable?
It's Able Stewart.
Come in.
Sir, I have a message
from Mr. Boone.
He needs to speak with you.
About what?
We rode to Jerusalem's Lot.
There are people there.
They killed Rose Mallory.
They tried to kill me, too.
- Are they men?
- Men and women, sir.
I asked you
if they are men.
You know?
How many are there?
I saw five,
but there might be more.
They have followers, too.
Mr. Boone needs your help.
He's hunting Phillip and Stephen
Boone right now at Chapelwaite.
We'll need the minister.
Yeah.
I was going to him next.
Phillip Boone
did this.
Is she one of them?
She is.
Mary sleeps
most of the day.
She fears direct sunlight.
Help me wrap her
in some blankets.
Constable!
Constable!
Constable, come quick!
It's Faith Pringle.
Oh, no, no, no.
Faith.
Faith? No, no!
A knife!
A knife, damn you!
Oh, Faith!
Faith.
Oh, God. Oh.
Where's the baby?
Where is our baby?
What are you looking at?
You judge me?
I have witnessed your sins.
I have heard them all!
How dare you humiliate
my daughter like this!
You're a disgrace!
Behold!
This fraud,
posing as a man of God.
Telling you all
how to live your lives
from his sullied pulpit!
And all the while he was
fornicating with that woman.
Even had a
A child with her.
Our minister.
Take your whore and go!
That will be enough,
Thompson.
You sure this is the side
you wanna choose, huh?
Move on.
All of ya!
Martin
come with us.
I have nowhere to go.
We're going to Chapelwaite.
What do you think
is wrong with Father?
Keep painting.
You frightened me.
Is there something
you need?
Do you hear that?
Hear what?
That sound.
I don't hear anything.
What does it sound like?
Someone screaming.
Is it the children?
No.
I fear
the whaler
is no better than
his uncle and cousin.
We will go
to Chapelwaite
and take what is ours.
Your father's getting
more boards.
I'd like to speak with you.
We're busy helping
Father prepare.
Charles!
Are you all right?
You're ill, Father.
Let us help you.
Everything is ill.
Nothing is as it seems.
You should rest.
We can finish the work.
Night will be here soon.
Charles?
Charles?
What's wrong?
Charles,
you need to tell me.
The screams in my head.
The cries
The cries are maddening.
The book wants to be returned.
The book is making you sick.
You need to destroy it!
- Throw it in the fire!
- I tried.
It won't burn.
Show me.
My God.
What is that thing?
I can't stop it.
We're all going to suffer.
Worse than you
could ever imagine.
And what of the children?
Better they die
than to suffer like that.
I want to take
the children and go.
It's not safe for them here.
Where would you go?
I'm trying to tell you
there is no escaping it.
I'll decide what to do
with the children.
Honor.
Honor, we need to go now.
Where's Father?
I don't know. I'm taking you
to town. It's safer there.
We're not going anywhere
with you.
We're not leaving Father.
I know you don't
trust me right now,
but you need
to listen to me.
Your father is not well.
That book has corrupted him,
and I'm afraid
he might do us harm.
You're lying.
He would never hurt us.
We don't have time
for this now.
Find Tane. I'm going
to get the carriage, okay?
Charles!
What were you
doing in there?
I let the horses go.
Why would you do that?
It's not safe.
No one can leave.
Honor! Tane!
In here.
We thought you left.
Not without you.
Where's your father?
He was just here.
He went to the cellar.
He said he'd call for us.
He was whispering
to himself.
- I'm scared.
- It's all right.
You were right.
Something's
very wrong with him.
- Yes.
- Did you get the carriage?
He let the horses go.
Is he going to hurt us?
Honor! Tane!
Come down here!
What do we do?
Get a weapon. Here.
Take this.
Go to your room, lock the door.
If he calls for you again,
don't answer.
- Rebecca
- It's all right. Go.
Go on.
Just remember
what I told you. Go.
Charles?
Charles?
Charles.
Oh, God.
You're not enough.
It's the book.
This isn't you.
Oh God.
All we've done
won't be enough.
If we survive the night,
they'll keep coming.
Lions to cattle.
Charles.
Please let us go.
I've seen the order unravel.
The new world belongs to them.
I won't have my children
serve, suffer.
I won't leave them
to that future.
Charles,
please don't do this.
My father knew.
He tried to save me
from this fate.
I hated him for what he did.
I never understood until now.
It's the only way.
The only way to save us.
Don't be afraid.
Shh. Don't.
I'll call them now.
We'll all go together.
Children!
Charles, you're right.
I understand.
I'll bring the children.
You're right.
It's the only way.
Oh, thank you.
Don't frighten them.
No.
Good.
What is this?
How do you feel?
The children
They're all right.
And they must never know
what I saw in the basement.
Thank you.
I need to believe
that wasn't you.
It was the book.
It overwhelmed me.
It stole all reason.
The horrible things
it showed
Where is it?
You said the only way
to be rid of your curse
was to return it
to the undead.
What?
- That's what I did.
- You didn't give it to them!
It's all right.
It's with Mary Dennison.
She's restrained
in the cellar.
She's one of them now.
Able Stewart brought them.
If I think
for one second
that you're a danger
to anyone
I understand.
I'm grateful to you all.
The book
with Mary Dennison,
what do these vampires
want with it?
They mean to raise
an old god.
I had a vision
when I opened it.
I saw the terrible
future it holds.
Eternal night.
The undead rule
and man is meat.
How did you come by
such an evil thing?
Forgive me.
Forgive me. I I
I found it
in your children's grave.
It was buried with them.
I am so very sorry.
Nothing grew on that grave.
Freshly laid flowers, grass
weeds.
All rotted.
Marcella Boone
must have hidden it
in the coffin
at the viewing.
My cousin and uncle
they'll come.
Dear God.
What have they done
to you, child?
We saved her.
You don't save.
You murder.
Go away, woman.
Turn your back.
No, I've done that
for too long now.
May God forgive me
for doing so.
What's your plan, Mr. Boone?
We survive.
We boarded
the upstairs windows
and painted the second story.
And what do we do
after tonight?
Oh, my God.
Hunt them by day.
I shot Stephen.
Lead is useless.
Anyone know how
to kill these things?
Fire?
Steel?
We don't know.
Then we'll learn.
Gentlemen
My daughter Loa,
she may be
among them tonight.
She's not to be harmed.
Of course.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
The house is secure.
We should
hold the night.
I have no solution
for our long-term future,
but I will find one.
And I will bring Loa home.
I'm so sorry
for frightening you.
I wasn't myself.
I hope you can forgive me.
Will you ever
be that way again?
Never.
This wouldn't have happened
if we stayed at sea.
Well, the madness would
have found me, regardless.
It found my father,
far from here.
When the time is right,
there are things I need
to tell you about our family.
What about the woman
in the cellar?
What if she gets out?
I won't let her harm you.
I'm sorry, children.
Go and see if Mr. Dennison
needs anything.
Go help your sister.
You seem much improved.
I feel better.
Rebecca
What you did for me
and my family
You don't need
to say anything.
No. I do.
I told you to leave
and you stayed.
You put your life in danger.
You saved us.
I love your children.
I never should've broken
their trust.
Or yours.
That's behind us.
Let's not speak of it again.
What you told me about
your father and my relatives
if they hurt him, I'm sorry.
Whatever happened to my father,
he brought upon himself,
and us.
My family is every bit
as responsible as yours
for the evil we face.
But you are not.
Nor am I.
Neither of us deserves
this burden.
Oh, Lord,
we ask that You bless
and sanctify this home
as You blessed the homes
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
May Your light and angels
fill this dwelling.
We ask that You
protect this house
and all who dwell within.
In Jesus' name,
we pray. Amen.
Amen.
I've blessed every room
in the house.
Well, surely
God stands with us.
Which God?
There seems to be
a choice these days.
I am not sure that
our God exists at all.
Martin,
that's grief speaking.
I've buried two children
and the woman that I love.
All of them, innocents.
I betrayed my wife,
I've ruined what little
remained of her.
Yet I, a blackguard
and a liar, I live?
Where is God's love
in that design?
I'm sorry about Faith.
And your child.
Thank you.
There's not many
that would see their way
to sympathy for them.
Father says
we should all eat.
Thank you.
Minister
We believe our mother
is waiting for us in Heaven.
One day we'll be reunited.
My sister, Loa
Will these undead
find their way to Heaven?
- I
- She's good.
She made a mistake.
I'm sure she is.
We all make mistakes.
God knows
we're not perfect.
He gave us free will,
knowing that we would
make poor decisions
from time to time.
And I am sure that
when it comes time
for your sister
to pass over,
that God will make a place
in Heaven for her.
Thank you.
What are you peeking at,
silly man?
I didn't see anything.
I swear.
That's because you're
too far away.
No, no, no, no!
Please, please!
Please! No!
Who do you pray to, farmer?
Help me.
Help me, please!
Help me! Help me!
Where am I?
Chapelwaite.
Why?
We're gonna stop Stephen
and Phillip Boone.
I'm gonna kill Phillip
for hurting you.
You hurt me.
These hurt me.
They're for your protection.
And for the protection
of others.
Let me out of here!
Don't you love me anymore?
If you love me,
you'll feed me.
Give me your blood.
I'm hungry.
So hungry.
No.
Why did you stop?
They're here!
They're just outside the gate!
An ill choice, nephew!
Do you think this will stop us
from taking the book?
How long can you
fight it, Charles?
This is your last chance!
End your suffering!
And your children's!
Charles Boone! Answer us!
Give us the book!
Come out!
Or I swear I'll Ah!
Now!
Father!
Reset! Forward!
Heave!
Father!
Father!
Kill them!
Kill them all!
Damn your blood.
Father!
No!
I will bleed you dry, cousin.
All of you.
Oh, dear God.
Is it over?
Not yet.
It's Jakub.
Able, ride for town.
Try to get help.
I believe I'm of
more use here, sir.
You saw them
in Jerusalem's Lot.
You know
how many there are.
Please.
Yes, sir.
