Chapelwaite (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

1
- Is it your child?
- It is.
I should drag you out
into the street
and beat you like a dog.
Take your belongingsand go.
Mary sleeps
most of the day.
She fears direct sunlight.
You're dying, George.
I can save you.
Drink from me.
Jakub is out there.
Sweet Jesus.
Tonight will reveal
much about ourselves.
Here they come!
There will be times
when you lose heart.
Everything I thought
I was is gone.
You want to quit.
They're everywhere!
Do not.
It can't be.
Is it really you?
Tane? Come with me.
They're leaving.
I had to do it, Father.
She said it would
make them stop.
Who said that?
Make what stop?
Loa.
I gave her the book.
Loa!
De Vermis Mysteriis.
You have this child to thank.
Praise her.
Why do you not do
as you are told?
She succeeded
where so many have failed.
Praise her.
You see?
They welcome you
to Jerusalem's Lot.
Enter.
What is this place?
Your new home.
Why is the book
so important to you?
Ah, it is more
than just a book.
It is a key.
To the Gates of Darkness.
Soon, we will love
in a world without light.
A world of endless feed.
With mankind
as our livestock.
What will become
of my family?
Will they be "livestock" too?
We are your family.
But what about
my brother and sister?
I gave you the book.
We made a bargain.
Did I not honor it?
I spared the lives
of those in Chapelwaite.
Charles Boone
will come for the book.
Without this book
would Charles Boone
ride for you?
They have the book,
Captain.
What now?
We ride to Jerusalem's Lot.
Arrive before night.
The undead will be holed up
in their church.
We'll flush them out
with fire, kill them.
What about those
that aren't undead?
I suspect they'll be
guarding the church.
We'll fight them first.
We need more men.
We do.
It won't be easy.
You're a pariah,
Captain. So am I.
What could we possibly say
that could convince
anyone to help?
Nothing.
Words won't sway them.
We could show them.
My wife is not an animal.
I won't put her on display in
front of her friends and family.
If we take her to town,
they will kill her.
We won't allow that.
May God forgive them.
I am ready for
the coming fight, Captain.
You'll be needed,
Minister.
I'll get my things.
Are you all right?
I saw my father last night.
What?
The man in the kitchen?
With the book.
You're sure?
You don't forget
your father,
no matter what he's become.
I'm sorry.
I'll be riding
to Jerusalem's Lot with you.
No, Rebecca.
My father recognized me.
I saw it.
Perhaps there's
some humanity left.
Maybe I can reach him.
Look, I know the bond
between daughter and father
Then you know
that this may help us.
If there's a chance
I can reach him,
if I can make a difference,
then I have to try.
We have to go.
You know I'm right.
He sent you here to feed.
Y-Yes.
Then feed.
But remember,
I'll be feeding soon as well.
Feed!
What's happening
up there?
Nothing, Mary.
The threat has passed.
I feared you left me
here to rot.
Of course not.
You're my wife.
Do you mean that?
I do.
You can look past your fear
and see me for who I am?
I can try.
Who are you, Mary?
I'm the woman
you fell in love with.
The others,
they want me
to take you to town.
What for?
That would be the death
of me, George!
No! I
I won't let that happen.
But you already have!
You've already
killed me once.
You don't think
I remember?
You pressed a pillow
over my face
- No, Please!
- And held it there
until I could breatheno more.
Can you really kill me again?
Mary, please.
I can't see you
suffer like this.
It's you who will suffer.
Cut me.
Cut me and drink.
Then, when you die,
whenever you're ready,
we can be together.
You can be with me.
It will be our secret.
What does it feel like
to be one of them?
Tell me the truth.
I feel strong.
Soon I'll be strong,
like you.
That's what Jakub promised.
Eternal life.
Power.
That's why I serve
for now.
And then what?
Revenge on all those
who've treated me poorly.
Mocked me.
Abused me.
Taken what's mine.
I'm a very angry girl.
Like you.
I recognize it in your eyes.
Who hurt you,
little Boone?
We've been wondering
where you were, Constable.
I have to question
your judgment!
The company you choose
could put you
on the wrong side of God!
Who do you have there?
It's Mary. My Mary.
Release her!
Friends, we need your help.
You have no friends here,
fornicator!
She has the illness.
She did, Alice.
She died two days ago.
Are you mad?
He speaks the truth.
Mary Dennison has died
and returned.
As have my cousin Stephen
and Uncle Phillip.
This is the devil's work.
Your devil is
in Jerusalem's Lot.
His name is Jakub.
He brought the illness
first to my uncle and cousin,
and they, in turn,
spread it to your town.
You admit it, then.
The Boones are responsible
for the illness
and every other tragedy
that's befallen us.
We should hang him by
his neck from the nearest tree.
Harming Charles Boone
will not help our cause!
He wants to make up for the
mistakes of his family's past.
And if we want
to survive one more day,
we need to help him.
Help him how?
Fight the undead
where they reside.
In Jerusalem's Lot.
The undead?
You people
will stop at nothing.
Mary Dennison has
the Boone pox!
Nothing more!
We don't ask you
to believe us.
Believe your own eyes.
Mister Dennison.
Mary
Help! Alice? Ann?
Stay back, Ann.
Tell them
to let me go!
Mary?
Look what
he's done to me.
- Release me.
- What's happened to you?
It hurts.
This is what
we're dealing with.
Mary Dennison and her kind
drink the blood
of the living
- It's the light.
- And live in the dark.
The sun!
Let me go!
It's burning my skin!
Stay back, stay back!
Help her!
Stay back!
Someone help her.
Mary
Don't touch her!
Help me!
George!
Save me!
Save me.
Christ have mercy.
Forgive me.
What is this witchery?
We're riding
to Jerusalem's Lot
to fight Jakub
and his nest of undead.
If we don't stop them now,
they will plunge our world
into darkness.
Every one of us will die.
How many are there?
Fifteen, maybe more.
They can be defeated
if we stand together
and fight.
But we must act fast
or today will be our last.
The men who are willing
to join us, meet at the tavern.
We leave in an hour.
Women and children should spend
the night in the church.
It's the safest place.
Men,
I implore you to join us.
Mother.
Rebecca.
I don't understand
what's happening.
I know. I know.
Mary Dennison
You and the children will stay
in the church tonight.
All right?
Let's hurry back
to the boarding house.
We'll get provisions.
All right? Come with me.
Martin.
Hello, Alice.
I hardly have words.
I understand.
Will you really ride
to Jerusalem's Lot
to fight those things?
I will.
It's funny that I,
of all people,
should feel concern
for you, but I do.
I am not deserving
of anyone's concern, Alice.
Least of all yours.
Yeah, it's not easy
for me, Martin.
But the Bible commands us
to forgive,
so that we may be forgiven.
Come home, Martin.
Only God is perfect.
What's done is done.
Much to be mended between us.
We can speak when I return.
But what if you don't?
If I never get the chance
to tell you
what's in my heart.
Please, Martin.
If I don't make it back
from Jerusalem's Lot
I've arranged
a proper Christian burial.
Thank you, gentlemen.
I will not lie to you.
What we face
will be like nothing
you've ever experienced before.
The task is a difficult one.
How do we kill the undead?
Well, expose them
to daylight
or take their heads.
They're not an easy kill.
I ran Phillip Boone
through the guts,
and he still fought
with the strength of two men.
How did they
become this way?
To become undead,
you drink the vampire's blood.
Once you drink,
when you die,
you return like them.
Did Phillip bleed
when you fought him?
He did.
Then I would
attack the heart.
If there's blood,
they need it.
Have you all lost your wits?
How can you listen
to this madman?
You saw Mary Dennison.
Do you deny the existence
of the undead?
I do not.
But I tell you
Charles Boone is the devil.
Follow him and he'll lead you
straight to hell.
He's right.
Follow me and
I will take you to hell.
But stay here
and hell will surely
come to you.
This man is not
one of us,
and yet he asks us
to fight his battles.
We don't have time
for this, Samuel.
Do you have
a better plan, Gallup?
You're damn right I do!
If what Boone says is true,
then I say
let the undead come to us!
We'll fight them here,
as a community,
with God at our side!
If we do not
strike them down,
it'll be too late.
Enough.
If you're foolish enough
to believe in this man
then ride to your graves.
Come on, Daniel.
Daniel!
You're on your own, Samuel.
Has anyone seen
Minister Burroughs?
And we ask that you
grant us strength, wisdom,
and peace in our time of need.
Amen.
Amen.
It's nice to have you home.
Alice, I have so much
to say to you.
So much to apologize for.
I have much to say to you too,
Martin, but let's eat first.
Then we'll talk.
How is it?
Stout with pepper.
But lovely.
In case I don't get
the chance again,
I want to tell you how
sorry I am
for my betrayal
and the shame
that it brought upon you.
Upon us both.
Of course.
You and I lost our way
after the twins passed.
Our shared sorrow should have
brought us together.
Instead, it broke us.
I shoulder
much of that blame.
I couldn't
face their deaths.
You couldn't forget them.
And to escape my grief,
I wrapped myself
in the arms of another woman.
I have no excuse for that.
Only regret.
I also have regret, Martin,
but we can't undo
our mistakes.
We can only pay for them.
I didn't kill them, Alice.
Marcella Boone was not
the cause of their illness.
Stephen and Phillip Boone
they walked this house
at night,
while you and I slept.
They preyed upon
our children.
Neither of us could imagine
the real horror
that had befallen us.
Neither of us can be blamed.
And your other child, Martin?
Turns out that
he was not mine.
But
Oh, my throat.
It burns.
Well, I'm not surprised.
What with the lies
you've told under this roof.
Oh, and God's.
Something's wrong.
Tell it to your Maker.
You'll be meeting Him
soon enough.
Alice!
What have you done?
De Vermis Mysteriis
has found its way home.
A life's quest fulfilled.
Faith.
Servitude.
Loyalty.
Now is the time
for the Promised
to get their reward.
You shall become eternal.
Lords of the night.
This is how you will survive
and rule
with the coming of the Worm.
Come.
Give me your arm, child.
Now turn.
You won't be going
to Jerusalem's Lot.
Did you ever love me?
Or did you just marry me
for my father's church?
No, no.
Oh, God.
Oh, God abandoned you
long ago.
There is no escaping
one's sins.
Now eat.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Please, Alice.
The town needs me.
Ugh! The town needed you
long before this!
But you abandoned us.
You deserted us.
Fear not, my love.
Fear not.
There's a place in hell
for both of us.
How can you be certain
it was him?
You haven't seen your father
in over 20 years.
It's hard to be certain
of a lot of things lately,
but I am, Mother.
It was Father.
He was
terrifying.
But I recognized him.
He recognized me, too.
I know it.
Phillip and Stephen
didn't kill him.
He's been living
in Jerusalem's Lot
as one of them.
Mother?
I know this is so horrible,
but you deserve
to know the truth.
Mrs. Burroughs?
Minister?
My God!
Mrs. Burroughs.
Mrs. Burroughs.
Samuel.
Samuel.
You did this.
You you
No, sir.
I did no such thing.
She was all I had left
in this world.
I've lost everything
to you Boones.
I have nothing.
Don't do this.
Samuel, there is much
at stake here.
What we face
goes well beyond
bad blood
between our families.
Your relatives murdered
my grandchildren.
I'm not your enemy.
"The wages of sin is death.
But the gift of God
is eternal life."
No!
God.
Excuse me, everyone.
May I have your attention,
please?
I know that you're all
frightened and confused.
There is much to be afraid of.
So tonight
I beseech you
to pray for those of us
who ride to Jerusalem's Lot.
The doors of the church
will be locked at sundown.
Those inside must remain
inside until daybreak.
Do not, under any circumstances,
open those doors for anyone.
May God bless you.
Why aren't you
with your sister?
What's wrong, hmm?
Come here.
What is it? Hmm?
I gave Loa the book.
Oh, son
They would have taken
that book regardless.
Death was at our door.
What you did saved our lives.
But I disobeyed orders.
You did.
But here we stand.
Above ground.
Ready to fight the enemy
on our own terms.
Surviving that night would
have been nearly impossible.
Hey, hey.
It's because of you
that we did.
Tane, what you have seen
would break
most grown men.
I am so proud of you, boy.
You understand?
I'm proud.
Honor?
What is it?
You're not coming with us
to Jerusalem's Lot.
Why?
Do you think
I'm not capable?
On the contrary.
You're the strongest
woman I know.
That's why I need you here.
Help protect the church.
Will you do that for me?
I will.
Honor
Cousin Stephen
is still out there.
Just be mindful.
You know what he's capable of.
There's so much
I want to say.
You don't have
to say anything now.
Tell us when you come back.
I love you, Father.
Me too.
Mr. Boone?
The horses are ready.
So are the men.
Have you seen
Minister Burroughs?
He won't be joining us.
It's time to go.
Once I open this book,
it must not be closed.
Each page must be read in turn
to raise the Worm.
Very well.
It's begun.
- Let's ride.
- Yah!
