00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,788
Previously on "Salem"...
2
00:00:03,522 --> 00:00:07,124
It is as if the Angel of Death himself
3
00:00:07,159 --> 00:00:08,693
has descended upon the town.
4
00:00:08,727 --> 00:00:10,527
The witches' Grand Rite.
5
00:00:10,562 --> 00:00:14,165
Please return to Salem.
6
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,401
Find out who Mary Sibley
is backing for magistrate
7
00:00:17,436 --> 00:00:19,270
and I find the next witch in line.
8
00:00:21,106 --> 00:00:23,607
You may be God's gift
to Salem, Dr. Wainwright.
9
00:00:23,641 --> 00:00:26,677
That the Grand Rite was
led by one Mary Sibley.
10
00:00:26,711 --> 00:00:28,846
The comet will soon blaze overhead,
11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,547
terrifying all for only three nights.
12
00:00:30,582 --> 00:00:32,415
The crags will be
filled with hell-blood.
13
00:00:35,653 --> 00:00:37,554
Mercy Lewis killed our witches.
14
00:00:37,589 --> 00:00:39,490
True witches. The Elders.
15
00:00:39,514 --> 00:00:40,657
_
16
00:00:40,658 --> 00:00:41,758
Kill them!
17
00:00:41,793 --> 00:00:43,526
Kill them all!
18
00:00:45,496 --> 00:00:47,197
You wanted war.
19
00:00:47,231 --> 00:00:48,965
Now taste war.
20
00:00:50,701 --> 00:00:53,703
Father...
21
00:00:54,872 --> 00:00:57,340
Your baby's home.
22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,888
We're going to need more water.

00:03:40,232 --> 00:03:42,533
You must use your fork.
25
00:03:42,567 --> 00:03:45,569
You act as though raised by wolves.
26
00:03:45,603 --> 00:03:48,140
I suppose in some ways you were.
27
00:03:49,374 --> 00:03:51,375
You hold the fork like this,
28
00:03:51,409 --> 00:03:54,712
and you use the knife to
push the food onto the prongs.
29
00:03:54,746 --> 00:03:59,416
First, the cloth.
30
00:03:59,451 --> 00:04:01,685
You place it in your lap like so.
31
00:04:03,355 --> 00:04:05,689
What do you hide there?
32
00:04:07,525 --> 00:04:09,360
Come, now, show me what it is.
33
00:04:11,996 --> 00:04:14,064
It reminded me of you, Mother.
34
00:04:15,432 --> 00:04:18,034
So beautiful.
35
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:21,338
Its neck.
36
00:04:21,372 --> 00:04:22,805
Did you find it so?
37
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:25,742
It found me.
38
00:04:25,776 --> 00:04:29,545
Take the bird and
bury him in the garden.
39
00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:33,549
As hard as it may be to part
with something so... beautiful,
40
00:04:33,584 --> 00:04:36,719
that is what we must do with
things that are dead to us.
41
00:05:00,310 --> 00:05:02,811
My wife is locked up with
a woman who has the pox.
42
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:05,414
You have to let her
out. My wife's no witch.
43
00:05:05,448 --> 00:05:08,483
And she don't deserve to be
damned to death with the pox!
44
00:05:08,518 --> 00:05:10,385
What would you have us do, sir?
45
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:12,387
Let known thieves and suspected witches
46
00:05:12,422 --> 00:05:14,389
run loose amongst the
good citizens of Salem?
47
00:05:14,424 --> 00:05:17,458
Without a magistrate
to hear their cases,
48
00:05:17,492 --> 00:05:20,461
they'll be locked in with
that plagued woman for weeks.
49
00:05:20,495 --> 00:05:22,263
A certain death sentence.
50
00:05:22,298 --> 00:05:23,631
And with no trial.
51
00:05:23,665 --> 00:05:27,035
What do you suggest,
my dear Mrs. Sibley?
52
00:05:27,069 --> 00:05:30,771
Or do you need to confer
with your ever-silent husband?
53
00:05:30,806 --> 00:05:33,207
I will confer with my husband,
54
00:05:33,242 --> 00:05:35,543
who I assure you is far from silent.
55
00:05:35,577 --> 00:05:37,545
And in due time, when
the evidence is heard...
56
00:05:37,579 --> 00:05:40,915
Your due time has left the
magistrate's seat vacant,
57
00:05:40,949 --> 00:05:42,917
the witchcraft trials all but ceased,
58
00:05:42,951 --> 00:05:44,618
and the plague to run rampant.
59
00:05:44,653 --> 00:05:47,555
I assure you, good people,
60
00:05:47,589 --> 00:05:50,357
there will be a magistrate by sunrise.
61
00:05:50,391 --> 00:05:53,526
As town treasurer and
next-highest officer
62
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,128
among the selectmen,
63
00:05:55,163 --> 00:05:59,099
it is natural that I should
step in as magistrate.
64
00:05:59,133 --> 00:06:01,901
Might I remind the generous Mr. Hathorne
65
00:06:01,936 --> 00:06:04,804
that Salem will not be ruled by one man?
66
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,139
And certainly not by one woman.
67
00:06:08,509 --> 00:06:10,076
Fine.
68
00:06:10,110 --> 00:06:12,545
We shall gather the selectmen
and hold an election.
69
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,081
A vote it will be, then.
70
00:06:15,115 --> 00:06:16,516
Today.
71
00:06:18,486 --> 00:06:20,286
I know that my husband, Mr. Sibley,
72
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,488
would like to be there,
73
00:06:21,522 --> 00:06:23,055
and I need time to make arrangements.
74
00:06:23,090 --> 00:06:25,458
Uh, tonight then.
75
00:06:25,492 --> 00:06:28,295
We shall decide the
position of magistrate
76
00:06:28,329 --> 00:06:30,863
over supper at the Sibley house.
77
00:06:31,698 --> 00:06:33,532
Good day, sirs.
78
00:06:35,668 --> 00:06:38,971
George is the only way to
get Hathorne to back down.
79
00:06:39,006 --> 00:06:41,272
And evoking his name
is not enough anymore.
80
00:06:41,307 --> 00:06:42,774
Then what is?
81
00:06:42,809 --> 00:06:45,777
Worry not. I have it under control.
82
00:06:45,812 --> 00:06:49,047
This town is but the
living form of my orrery,
83
00:06:49,081 --> 00:06:51,049
and both run like clockwork.
84
00:06:51,083 --> 00:06:53,552
No man can stop the hours
ringing in the changes.
85
00:06:53,586 --> 00:06:56,354
Clocks are often stopped, Mistress.
86
00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:58,523
It takes but a well-placed finger.
87
00:06:58,957 --> 00:07:01,326
I fear the boy has been
a distraction to you.
88
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,061
The boy is my son,
89
00:07:04,096 --> 00:07:05,830
and the only thing that distracts me
90
00:07:05,864 --> 00:07:06,865
is the nagging thought
91
00:07:06,899 --> 00:07:08,834
of what horrors may have
been inflicted upon him
92
00:07:08,868 --> 00:07:11,002
in the years before I
knew of his existence.
93
00:07:11,537 --> 00:07:13,170
What did you do to him?
94
00:07:13,205 --> 00:07:16,473
- If he is forever damaged...
- Patience, Mary.
95
00:07:16,507 --> 00:07:18,709
I have none for you anymore,
96
00:07:18,744 --> 00:07:22,146
you who lied and hid
him for all those years.
97
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,248
You weren't ready.
98
00:07:24,282 --> 00:07:25,716
Perhaps you're still not.
99
00:07:25,751 --> 00:07:28,385
I can take him back to
the woods at any time.
100
00:07:28,419 --> 00:07:31,755
Never again, or I will
stop everything we've begun.
101
00:07:31,789 --> 00:07:35,158
I will let the comet
pass, the crags run dry,
102
00:07:35,192 --> 00:07:37,793
and the Grand Rite will
have been for nothing.
103
00:07:39,696 --> 00:07:43,766
Do not test me.
104
00:07:48,873 --> 00:07:50,273
Reverend Lewis.
105
00:07:50,307 --> 00:07:52,809
- I'm so sorry for your loss.
- Hmm.
106
00:07:52,843 --> 00:07:56,846
I miss her so. Mercy
was my last true friend.
107
00:07:56,881 --> 00:08:02,085
We'll see how true a
friend you really are.
108
00:08:02,119 --> 00:08:04,520
Come with me.
109
00:08:25,875 --> 00:08:28,510
Hathorne sought to humiliate me
110
00:08:28,544 --> 00:08:30,946
in front of a nescient congregation,
111
00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:33,716
and you did not utter
a word on my behalf.
112
00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:36,718
I was concerned to draw attention.
113
00:08:36,752 --> 00:08:40,155
Well, in not drawing
attention, Mr. Corwin,
114
00:08:40,289 --> 00:08:42,191
you have drawn a line.
115
00:08:42,225 --> 00:08:45,027
I must know which side you stand.
116
00:08:45,061 --> 00:08:47,262
Yours, my lady.
117
00:08:47,796 --> 00:08:51,165
You know I've been your
silent servant all these years.
118
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,835
Well, you shall be silent no more.
119
00:08:53,869 --> 00:08:57,671
The role of magistrate cannot
fall to an un-sympathetic foe.
120
00:08:57,705 --> 00:08:59,173
It must be a witch.
121
00:08:59,207 --> 00:09:02,843
That is why you are to
challenge Hathorne as candidate.
122
00:09:02,877 --> 00:09:06,313
But he is most popular
with the other selectmen.
123
00:09:06,348 --> 00:09:08,249
With Mr. Sibley's endorsement,
124
00:09:08,283 --> 00:09:10,383
no selectman will dare vote against you.
125
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,220
We are vulnerable.
126
00:09:14,255 --> 00:09:18,025
You have brought our kind
to the center of the stage
127
00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:19,492
when we are hated most.
128
00:09:19,527 --> 00:09:22,863
I have completed the Grand Rite.
129
00:09:22,897 --> 00:09:25,798
The consecration is well underway.
130
00:09:25,832 --> 00:09:29,669
Soon we will taste freedom like
you have never known before.
131
00:09:29,703 --> 00:09:34,507
But for now, we must continue
the charade of puritan rule.
132
00:09:34,542 --> 00:09:37,077
And we must control it.
133
00:09:37,111 --> 00:09:42,314
I fear I will disappoint you.
134
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:47,853
Well...'Tis not me you ought
to worry about disappointing.
135
00:10:24,289 --> 00:10:26,224
Who goes there?
136
00:10:29,361 --> 00:10:30,361
Please.
137
00:10:30,362 --> 00:10:33,197
Won't you come out? You frighten me.
138
00:10:33,232 --> 00:10:37,435
You can no longer
recognize your old friend
139
00:10:37,469 --> 00:10:39,837
beneath these hideous scars.
140
00:10:39,871 --> 00:10:41,205
Mercy?
141
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,543
Is that really you?
142
00:10:45,577 --> 00:10:49,780
Where were you when we all burned?
143
00:10:49,814 --> 00:10:54,384
Do you not remember?
144
00:10:54,418 --> 00:10:57,420
It was you who sent me
in town for provisions.
145
00:10:57,455 --> 00:10:59,256
It was you who saved me.
146
00:10:59,290 --> 00:11:02,292
Then I must have saved
you for a good reason.
147
00:11:03,995 --> 00:11:08,031
How did I not notice what
a lovely creature you are?
148
00:11:08,065 --> 00:11:10,300
You can walk among the living.
149
00:11:10,334 --> 00:11:13,370
You'll be the means of my vengeance.
150
00:11:18,209 --> 00:11:20,277
I would do anything for you.
151
00:11:20,311 --> 00:11:23,546
Good.
152
00:11:28,451 --> 00:11:32,555
Mary Sibley will not see us coming.
153
00:12:01,709 --> 00:12:05,111
At last.
154
00:12:05,145 --> 00:12:07,013
I'm dead.
155
00:12:07,047 --> 00:12:11,686
And you... a heavenly
creature to welcome me.
156
00:12:14,121 --> 00:12:17,956
It's just me... Dollie.
157
00:12:17,991 --> 00:12:22,027
What else but an Angel
158
00:12:22,061 --> 00:12:27,533
would risk all in a
horrible place like this
159
00:12:27,567 --> 00:12:31,471
to sit vigil with a wretch like myself?
160
00:12:33,205 --> 00:12:37,809
Believe me, Isaac, I
am not going anywhere.
161
00:12:37,844 --> 00:12:40,545
I will stay by your side.
162
00:12:48,454 --> 00:12:51,623
These past few days, Cotton,
163
00:12:51,758 --> 00:12:54,592
it's been such a comfort being with you.
164
00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:01,166
I must admit, when I first
opened my door in Boston,
165
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,435
the sight of your face
166
00:13:03,469 --> 00:13:05,903
brought me greater joy
than I would have expected.
167
00:13:05,938 --> 00:13:11,042
It is you, Anne, who has
been a great comfort to me.
168
00:13:16,614 --> 00:13:21,650
I believe my father died
thinking his only child
169
00:13:21,685 --> 00:13:24,387
was consumed with hatred for him.
170
00:13:24,421 --> 00:13:27,457
Never.
171
00:13:27,492 --> 00:13:31,062
He admired your spirit.
He was proud of you.
172
00:13:32,297 --> 00:13:35,334
Something my father
never felt toward me.
173
00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:41,370
Faced with his infinite disapproval,
174
00:13:41,405 --> 00:13:47,210
I cursed him in the worst way,
behind his back, like a coward.
175
00:13:47,244 --> 00:13:49,646
You are no coward, Cotton.
176
00:13:49,681 --> 00:13:52,082
I despised him.
177
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:56,820
Now I feel lost without him.
178
00:13:57,754 --> 00:13:59,922
Before he was gripped by madness,
179
00:13:59,956 --> 00:14:01,924
he would have known what to do.
180
00:14:01,958 --> 00:14:04,827
He would have delivered us from the pox,
181
00:14:04,861 --> 00:14:08,766
and he would have rid
Salem of every last witch.
182
00:14:15,739 --> 00:14:18,507
And do you agree with him,
183
00:14:18,542 --> 00:14:21,343
that there is no way to
save a witch but kill them?
184
00:14:24,313 --> 00:14:29,585
I hate to think that all
their souls are forever damned.
185
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:33,521
My father said that...
186
00:14:33,856 --> 00:14:37,225
That there are ones who are
born into it, who have no choice.
187
00:14:37,260 --> 00:14:39,394
- Perhaps they could be saved.
- Hmm.
188
00:14:39,429 --> 00:14:41,863
My father would have said no...
189
00:14:43,133 --> 00:14:46,233
That we are all
predestined to good or evil.
190
00:14:48,068 --> 00:14:50,206
And what do you say?
191
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,843
I believe there is always a choice.
192
00:14:58,447 --> 00:15:03,951
I believe our... choices
dictate our destiny.
193
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:07,255
Then there is salvation.
194
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:13,628
And where there is
salvation, there is hope.
195
00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:21,334
My dear Isaac.
196
00:15:21,369 --> 00:15:25,005
I am at death's door.
197
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:28,609
I know where it leads once it be opened.
198
00:15:28,643 --> 00:15:33,279
Satan himself waits to
torture me for eternity.
199
00:15:33,314 --> 00:15:36,282
Now, what has convinced
your mind of such a thing?
200
00:15:36,317 --> 00:15:39,785
Isaac the Fornicator.
201
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:42,455
Many years have passed,
202
00:15:42,490 --> 00:15:45,958
but a sin is a sin, and
I am doomed to pay for it.
203
00:15:45,993 --> 00:15:49,028
No, you have paid plenty in this life.
204
00:15:49,062 --> 00:15:52,331
You have a good soul,
and the Lord I believe in
205
00:15:52,365 --> 00:15:55,134
does not care what you do on this earth.
206
00:15:55,168 --> 00:15:58,704
What lord would create bodies
capable of such pleasures,
207
00:15:58,739 --> 00:16:00,472
then punish us for knowing it?
208
00:16:00,507 --> 00:16:02,408
What Lord indeed?
209
00:16:02,442 --> 00:16:08,080
Very advanced words for a stern
puritan mistress like yourself.
210
00:16:08,114 --> 00:16:10,949
See, I would have thought
you'd consider the body
211
00:16:10,983 --> 00:16:13,852
a constant source of pain
and temptation to hell,
212
00:16:13,886 --> 00:16:14,953
like your husband.
213
00:16:14,987 --> 00:16:17,356
My husband is entirely correct.
214
00:16:17,390 --> 00:16:18,524
Life with him has been
215
00:16:18,558 --> 00:16:21,160
both a pain and a constant
temptation to hell.
216
00:16:21,194 --> 00:16:23,495
But I'm not convinced
God intended it so.
217
00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:28,167
Your friend Isaac improves,
218
00:16:29,301 --> 00:16:32,804
and with him, the chance to save many.
219
00:16:33,338 --> 00:16:34,873
Now, the blood I drew from him
220
00:16:34,907 --> 00:16:37,241
could be used to guard the unaffected.
221
00:16:37,276 --> 00:16:40,344
You would spread his infectious blood.
222
00:16:40,379 --> 00:16:42,080
Curious.
223
00:16:42,114 --> 00:16:44,915
But if it helps others,
that is indeed good news.
224
00:16:44,950 --> 00:16:46,850
Why, you must seek more than good news
225
00:16:46,885 --> 00:16:48,652
to risk so much coming here,
226
00:16:48,687 --> 00:16:50,921
where no one willingly
enters and few leave alive.
227
00:16:50,956 --> 00:16:53,323
No, it is you who are the risk to me.
228
00:16:53,357 --> 00:16:55,693
You operate here under my approval,
229
00:16:55,727 --> 00:16:59,463
yet they call you "necromancer"
and "speak of corpse bothering".
230
00:16:59,497 --> 00:17:01,999
Well, I doubt very much
anything bothers a corpse.
231
00:17:02,033 --> 00:17:03,867
Do not jest, Doctor.
232
00:17:03,902 --> 00:17:06,470
We hang men for such things in Salem.
233
00:17:06,504 --> 00:17:08,238
Well, it seems there's little in Salem
234
00:17:08,272 --> 00:17:11,308
you don't hang men for... or women.
235
00:17:11,342 --> 00:17:14,877
Do you fear nothing?
236
00:17:14,912 --> 00:17:18,248
Nothing from you, Mary Sibley.
237
00:17:18,282 --> 00:17:20,417
Well, that is a great deal of trust
238
00:17:20,451 --> 00:17:21,884
in a woman you hardly know.
239
00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:24,221
Well, there are some things and people
240
00:17:24,255 --> 00:17:26,293
one knows in a single glance.
241
00:17:30,027 --> 00:17:32,962
Come with me.
242
00:18:13,836 --> 00:18:15,770
You have a fine hand.
243
00:18:16,504 --> 00:18:17,972
You make a body look
244
00:18:18,006 --> 00:18:20,708
as beautiful without
the skin as with it.
245
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:22,910
I only wish my hand
246
00:18:22,944 --> 00:18:26,446
was as adept at uncovering
the mysteries beneath the skin.
247
00:18:26,481 --> 00:18:29,083
This plague is... it's like no other.
248
00:18:29,117 --> 00:18:32,919
It's not transmitted by
vermin nor by the simple cough,
249
00:18:32,953 --> 00:18:36,390
but some other means.
250
00:18:36,424 --> 00:18:39,761
Hathorne wonders if you really
came to town to cure the plague
251
00:18:39,796 --> 00:18:43,164
or to humor some dark
obsession with the dead.
252
00:18:43,199 --> 00:18:45,300
Both.
253
00:18:48,770 --> 00:18:53,340
So, tell me, in all this science,
254
00:18:53,374 --> 00:18:56,343
this impiety against God,
255
00:18:56,377 --> 00:18:58,579
what is it you're looking for?
256
00:18:58,613 --> 00:19:02,216
I seek the materiality of the soul...
257
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:04,618
Its embodiment, and, likewise,
258
00:19:04,652 --> 00:19:06,853
the soul that lives in all things.
259
00:19:06,887 --> 00:19:10,456
If we can understand the
physical seat of the soul,
260
00:19:10,491 --> 00:19:14,060
and we understand the
spiritual nature of all things,
261
00:19:14,095 --> 00:19:16,429
then we might learn to do so much.
262
00:19:16,463 --> 00:19:19,099
You sound like a witch.
263
00:19:19,133 --> 00:19:21,367
Well, perhaps so.
264
00:19:21,401 --> 00:19:24,269
Perhaps, in their own misbegotten way,
265
00:19:24,304 --> 00:19:25,971
witches are scientists.
266
00:19:26,005 --> 00:19:28,073
Well, then Hathorne would be right,
267
00:19:28,107 --> 00:19:30,743
and scientists are also witches.
268
00:19:30,777 --> 00:19:33,078
But I do not seek to hurt anyone.
269
00:19:33,112 --> 00:19:34,747
I am searching for the very organ
270
00:19:34,781 --> 00:19:36,749
that proves God's existence within us.
271
00:19:36,783 --> 00:19:38,952
And where is it?
272
00:19:40,186 --> 00:19:42,654
A chamber, deeply
protected within the chest,
273
00:19:42,688 --> 00:19:44,456
if you believe Aristotle.
274
00:19:44,490 --> 00:19:47,191
Descartes saw it residing in the brain.
275
00:19:47,226 --> 00:19:52,797
But I believe it's right about here...
276
00:19:52,831 --> 00:19:55,733
The crossroads between body and mind.
277
00:19:55,768 --> 00:19:59,003
They're calling the small organ
hidden just there the thyroid,
278
00:19:59,038 --> 00:20:02,040
from the Greek "thyreoiedes",
"shield shaped."
279
00:20:02,074 --> 00:20:04,376
I think it is the seat of the soul.
280
00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:06,978
But how do you know?
281
00:20:07,012 --> 00:20:10,683
That's the theory, but
I believe I can prove it.
282
00:20:12,017 --> 00:20:14,018
But it might hurt.
283
00:20:20,258 --> 00:20:21,992
Prove it.
284
00:20:30,202 --> 00:20:33,237
I'll try and be gentle.
285
00:20:33,271 --> 00:20:36,273
Don't bother.
286
00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:54,357
Did you feel it?
287
00:20:54,391 --> 00:20:56,193
What?
288
00:20:56,227 --> 00:20:58,428
Your soul on the verge
of leaving your body.
289
00:20:58,462 --> 00:21:01,197
Did your vision begin to darken?
290
00:21:01,232 --> 00:21:04,133
Your pulse quickened, and
rapid thoughts, like...
291
00:21:04,167 --> 00:21:06,836
Like pictures flitting
past your mind's eye.
292
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:08,404
Yes.
293
00:21:15,846 --> 00:21:17,847
What on earth were you thinking?
294
00:21:17,881 --> 00:21:19,081
Well, I wasn't.
295
00:21:19,116 --> 00:21:20,916
Thinking, that is.
296
00:21:20,951 --> 00:21:22,417
But tell me...
297
00:21:22,452 --> 00:21:27,123
How did it feel to be
completely in another's control
298
00:21:27,157 --> 00:21:30,626
over your very life, your very soul?
299
00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:35,330
I know such a feeling,
and this was not it.
300
00:22:43,773 --> 00:22:46,875
There.
301
00:22:46,909 --> 00:22:48,777
Hmm.
302
00:22:48,811 --> 00:22:52,015
Please. No more.
303
00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:54,284
End this.
304
00:22:54,318 --> 00:22:57,353
H-h-h-h-have
mercy.
305
00:22:57,388 --> 00:22:59,288
I-I beg you.
306
00:22:59,322 --> 00:23:03,258
You have finally lost
your appetite for defiance.
307
00:23:07,096 --> 00:23:09,232
Enough.
308
00:23:10,566 --> 00:23:15,737
I cannot endure any longer.
309
00:23:15,771 --> 00:23:17,571
Just kill me.
310
00:23:17,606 --> 00:23:19,073
Now, you know too well
311
00:23:19,108 --> 00:23:21,075
the hell I can make of your existence.
312
00:23:22,778 --> 00:23:25,412
But imagine...
313
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:29,150
The heaven I might grant you in relief.
314
00:23:30,486 --> 00:23:35,389
I might ask you what a
good meal would mean to you,
315
00:23:35,424 --> 00:23:37,391
the touch of young flesh,
316
00:23:37,426 --> 00:23:42,396
life surging through your
feeble appendages once more.
317
00:23:49,904 --> 00:23:52,873
I have a proposal for you.
318
00:23:52,907 --> 00:23:55,676
An old rival of yours
has reared his head...
319
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:57,278
Wendell Hathorne.
320
00:23:57,312 --> 00:24:01,181
He knows... what you are?
321
00:24:02,217 --> 00:24:05,118
George, if those tepid men
saw me for what I truly am,
322
00:24:05,152 --> 00:24:08,654
they would soil themselves
in fear, as you so often have.
323
00:24:08,689 --> 00:24:11,324
But that needn't be so.
324
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,127
For perhaps the first time ever,
325
00:24:14,161 --> 00:24:18,298
your interests and mine
share common ground.
326
00:24:18,332 --> 00:24:22,902
Hathorne not only made
advances to your wife in public,
327
00:24:22,936 --> 00:24:25,838
but he tried to strip you of your lands.
328
00:24:25,873 --> 00:24:27,907
Outside these walls,
329
00:24:27,941 --> 00:24:33,178
George Sibley is a giant amongst
men, the last of the founders,
330
00:24:33,213 --> 00:24:36,582
but Hathorne seeks to destroy that.
331
00:24:36,617 --> 00:24:38,583
I hardly think it's a sin
332
00:24:38,618 --> 00:24:41,353
to protect what you've worked
so hard to achieve, George.
333
00:24:41,388 --> 00:24:43,789
Your life as you know it may be over.
334
00:24:43,823 --> 00:24:47,526
Do you want your legacy and
your legend to die, as well?
335
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,128
You look affright.
336
00:24:49,162 --> 00:24:53,232
I'll prepare a tonic of
Cayenne to sharpen the tongue.
337
00:24:53,266 --> 00:24:55,600
To say what?
338
00:24:55,635 --> 00:24:59,304
What do you want from me?
339
00:24:59,338 --> 00:25:01,706
To endorse Corwin as magistrate
340
00:25:01,741 --> 00:25:04,910
and maintain the illusion
that you and you alone
341
00:25:04,944 --> 00:25:09,080
control Salem, and your
wife, with an iron grip
342
00:25:09,114 --> 00:25:12,750
and silence your bitter enemy, Hathorne.
343
00:25:17,957 --> 00:25:21,892
You can't look at me, Father?
344
00:25:21,927 --> 00:25:24,562
You don't want to see your daughter?
345
00:25:24,596 --> 00:25:27,364
Please, I...
346
00:25:27,398 --> 00:25:29,967
You never shied away before.
347
00:25:31,603 --> 00:25:32,970
You wanted to see
348
00:25:33,004 --> 00:25:35,405
all the delicacies of
your beautiful daughter.
349
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,140
Mercy, please.
350
00:25:37,175 --> 00:25:38,976
Perhaps I should take my leave.
351
00:25:39,010 --> 00:25:40,744
No.
352
00:25:40,779 --> 00:25:43,947
You will bear witness
to all that is to come.
353
00:25:43,982 --> 00:25:51,982
Mercy, if you have any
humanity left in you,
354
00:25:52,023 --> 00:25:56,259
return to me what is... most vital.
355
00:25:57,728 --> 00:25:59,096
You'll be reunited
356
00:25:59,130 --> 00:26:02,031
with the shriveled
remnants of your manhood
357
00:26:02,065 --> 00:26:05,334
when you've fulfilled
every errand I demand.
358
00:26:06,971 --> 00:26:08,304
And now I need you
359
00:26:08,338 --> 00:26:12,308
to strike the first blow
against dear Mary Sibley.
360
00:26:17,247 --> 00:26:21,950
A wise choice to keep the
council's gathering intimate.
361
00:26:21,985 --> 00:26:24,620
Uh, I was rather hoping to receive
362
00:26:24,654 --> 00:26:28,824
the appointment of magistrate
from your husband personally.
363
00:26:28,858 --> 00:26:33,028
But it seems, as usual, his
ventriloquist will have to do.
364
00:26:34,998 --> 00:26:39,534
Mr. Hathorne, your vigor for
the peace and prosperity of Salem
365
00:26:39,568 --> 00:26:41,302
is an inspiration.
366
00:26:41,337 --> 00:26:44,973
But a magistrate is merely
an arbiter of the common law.
367
00:26:45,407 --> 00:26:47,175
And many know the common law.
368
00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:49,677
But only a man as gifted
as yourself, however,
369
00:26:49,712 --> 00:26:51,746
may make sense of all
the complex calculations
370
00:26:51,780 --> 00:26:53,614
required of a treasurer.
371
00:26:53,649 --> 00:26:57,852
No, you're far too valuable a
man to be wasted as magistrate.
372
00:26:57,886 --> 00:27:01,989
Instead, George supports a most
fair, if less numerate man...
373
00:27:02,023 --> 00:27:04,659
Alexander Corwin.
374
00:27:04,693 --> 00:27:06,293
George.
375
00:27:06,328 --> 00:27:11,165
Ah, it is a true honor to
have you back in our presence.
376
00:27:11,199 --> 00:27:12,399
Yes.
377
00:27:12,433 --> 00:27:16,737
My wife has carried out my demands.
378
00:27:16,771 --> 00:27:20,007
And they are many.
379
00:27:21,542 --> 00:27:24,411
Yet she meets...
380
00:27:24,445 --> 00:27:26,480
with challenges.
381
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:28,415
I-I assure you
382
00:27:28,449 --> 00:27:31,818
any exchanges have been in
the spirit of civic debate.
383
00:27:31,853 --> 00:27:33,186
Good.
384
00:27:33,220 --> 00:27:38,792
We still need your governance...
385
00:27:38,826 --> 00:27:41,560
of treasury.
386
00:27:41,595 --> 00:27:45,631
Nathaniel, fetch us a bottle
of claret from the cellar
387
00:27:45,665 --> 00:27:47,533
while we wait on Mr. Corwin.
388
00:29:01,963 --> 00:29:03,164
Mmm.
389
00:29:14,374 --> 00:29:17,343
The hour wanes, George.
390
00:29:17,377 --> 00:29:21,314
Mr. Corwin has surely been
detained by something critical.
391
00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:23,515
It appears that all
392
00:29:23,550 --> 00:29:27,519
who find the election of
magistrate important are present.
393
00:29:27,554 --> 00:29:30,522
Corwin has clearly
had a change of heart.
394
00:29:30,557 --> 00:29:34,860
Since, as you say, we
all know the common law,
395
00:29:34,894 --> 00:29:36,627
we're all aware
396
00:29:36,662 --> 00:29:40,198
that no one may be appointed
to a post in absentia.
397
00:29:40,233 --> 00:29:47,171
I submit myself again in his
stead and call for a vote now.
398
00:29:47,205 --> 00:29:51,242
Mr. Sibley always insists we
finish dessert before business.
399
00:29:51,276 --> 00:29:52,343
Corwin will show.
400
00:29:52,378 --> 00:29:54,245
Not only am I disturbed
401
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,914
by the authority you
allow your wife, George,
402
00:29:56,948 --> 00:30:02,352
your mouthpiece in Salem, one
might even say your regent,
403
00:30:02,387 --> 00:30:05,321
but I am also grown weary
by this dinner's charade.
404
00:30:06,324 --> 00:30:09,059
If you are truly the head
of this household, Sibley,
405
00:30:09,094 --> 00:30:11,996
- I insist that you call for a vo...
- We wait.
406
00:30:15,666 --> 00:30:18,667
Well, I am comforted to know
407
00:30:18,702 --> 00:30:21,738
there's at least one true
gentleman left in this town.
408
00:30:27,211 --> 00:30:29,546
Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me a moment.
409
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,816
Of course.
410
00:30:32,850 --> 00:30:35,318
Please.
411
00:30:38,723 --> 00:30:40,757
Corwin is nowhere to be found.
412
00:30:40,792 --> 00:30:43,126
George will have no choice
413
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,463
but to put Hathorne
forward if Corwin is absent.
414
00:30:46,497 --> 00:30:49,132
So we must drag his cowardly feet
415
00:30:49,166 --> 00:30:51,800
from the hole they are hiding in.
416
00:31:01,245 --> 00:31:03,946
Cotton Mather was right.
417
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:08,050
Bind a witch with the right
knot to iron and dead wood,
418
00:31:08,084 --> 00:31:11,386
he's as neutered as a freshly cut steer.
419
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:13,055
You are gravely mistaken.
420
00:31:13,089 --> 00:31:14,422
I am no witch.
421
00:31:14,457 --> 00:31:17,392
Bullshit, Corwin.
422
00:31:17,426 --> 00:31:21,263
I stabbed thin air,
and then I caught you.
423
00:31:21,297 --> 00:31:23,798
What would you call
that if not witchcraft?
424
00:31:23,832 --> 00:31:26,000
You have to believe me.
425
00:31:26,034 --> 00:31:28,102
This is no ordinary knife.
426
00:31:28,137 --> 00:31:30,838
But if it were, it would still serve
427
00:31:30,873 --> 00:31:34,476
to separate the skin from
your body in one thick sheet.
428
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:37,044
I've seen the Indians do it.
429
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:39,514
I've learned the trick myself.
430
00:31:39,548 --> 00:31:43,017
But seeing as this is no ordinary knife
431
00:31:43,051 --> 00:31:47,121
but one which holds a
special hurt for witches,
432
00:31:47,156 --> 00:31:51,058
I can't imagine what it would do to you.
433
00:31:51,093 --> 00:31:52,860
But I sure am curious.
434
00:31:52,895 --> 00:31:56,664
What would you have of me?
435
00:31:56,698 --> 00:32:01,635
Names of every witch in Salem.
436
00:32:03,237 --> 00:32:05,506
Stop! Stop!
437
00:32:05,540 --> 00:32:09,343
- Whoa!
- Halt!
438
00:32:11,245 --> 00:32:15,015
The long arm of Mary Sibley, no doubt.
439
00:32:15,049 --> 00:32:16,950
She ordered a blockade.
440
00:32:16,984 --> 00:32:19,052
All roads in and out of Salem.
441
00:32:19,086 --> 00:32:20,887
Good evening, sirs.
442
00:32:20,922 --> 00:32:23,990
No passage, on account of the pox.
443
00:32:24,025 --> 00:32:27,227
Orders of George Sibley,
lest you have a pass.
444
00:32:27,261 --> 00:32:30,029
It is exactly his wife, Mary Sibley,
445
00:32:30,063 --> 00:32:31,731
with whom I seek audience.
446
00:32:31,765 --> 00:32:33,065
Now, let us pass.
447
00:32:33,099 --> 00:32:35,167
For a price.
448
00:32:35,202 --> 00:32:39,071
I beg your pardon?
449
00:32:39,105 --> 00:32:41,907
Pay or turn back around.
450
00:32:41,942 --> 00:32:45,545
You dare extort a man of the cloth
451
00:32:45,579 --> 00:32:50,182
and a fine young lady from one
of Salem's founding families?
452
00:32:50,217 --> 00:32:52,551
Man of the cloth?
453
00:32:52,585 --> 00:32:55,955
Well, I'll be damned. If
it isn't Cotton Mather!
454
00:32:57,157 --> 00:32:58,490
Cotton!
455
00:32:58,524 --> 00:33:00,125
Coward!
456
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,495
Fled his post and left us to rot!
457
00:33:03,529 --> 00:33:05,397
- No! No!
- Come here, pretty.
458
00:33:05,431 --> 00:33:07,399
Leave her alone!
459
00:33:07,433 --> 00:33:10,302
Let me go!
460
00:33:12,604 --> 00:33:16,041
Don't touch me! No!
461
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,657
Anne! Are you okay?
462
00:33:32,691 --> 00:33:34,492
What happened?
463
00:33:34,526 --> 00:33:37,861
He... he went away.
464
00:33:37,896 --> 00:33:40,664
We should go. We should go.
465
00:33:46,437 --> 00:33:47,771
Come on. Come on.
466
00:33:57,147 --> 00:34:00,417
You have to give Corwin
a piece of your mind.
467
00:34:00,451 --> 00:34:03,052
I only have Salem's interest at heart.
468
00:34:03,087 --> 00:34:06,189
A vote is imminent. We
can stall them no longer.
469
00:34:07,458 --> 00:34:09,692
This is going to have to do
470
00:34:09,727 --> 00:34:13,029
for a glimpse at the gutless Corwin
471
00:34:13,063 --> 00:34:16,833
so we might bring him here.
472
00:34:24,441 --> 00:34:26,074
Blindness...
473
00:34:26,109 --> 00:34:28,310
or castration?
474
00:34:28,345 --> 00:34:31,079
It's really quite simple.
475
00:34:32,683 --> 00:34:35,117
I am not too proud to
say that I am afraid,
476
00:34:35,152 --> 00:34:39,155
but it is of powers
f-far greater than you.
477
00:34:39,189 --> 00:34:41,023
She fears nothing.
478
00:34:41,058 --> 00:34:46,562
Yes. Mary Sibley. Who else?
479
00:34:46,596 --> 00:34:48,897
If you know my mistress,
480
00:34:48,932 --> 00:34:51,300
you know such attempts are futile.
481
00:34:51,335 --> 00:34:54,502
Whatever your quest, you're too late.
482
00:34:54,536 --> 00:34:56,504
Names. Now!
483
00:34:56,538 --> 00:34:59,073
She sees all.
484
00:34:59,107 --> 00:35:01,075
I know she sees me.
485
00:35:01,109 --> 00:35:02,543
She will have no mercy.
486
00:35:02,578 --> 00:35:04,913
I have felt her pulling
at my bound legs,
487
00:35:04,947 --> 00:35:08,984
and any moment, she will be
peering right at me, even here.
488
00:35:09,018 --> 00:35:11,887
Oh, I'm counting on it.
489
00:35:17,926 --> 00:35:19,627
By this firelight,
490
00:35:19,661 --> 00:35:21,763
bestow unto us the gift of sight,
491
00:35:21,797 --> 00:35:23,966
so we might find our brother Corwin
492
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,801
in the shadows of this night.
493
00:35:32,006 --> 00:35:35,275
For all our crimes, justice is come.
494
00:35:35,310 --> 00:35:39,613
If we do not cease all
we do, end our witch pox,
495
00:35:39,647 --> 00:35:42,249
and lay down all weapons of malice,
496
00:35:42,283 --> 00:35:45,084
we will die... Every last one of us.
497
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:46,520
We must hurry.
498
00:36:06,673 --> 00:36:09,675
Who could do this?
499
00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:13,712
Someone with enough cunning
craft to counter ours
500
00:36:13,747 --> 00:36:16,882
and obscure their faces from our vision.
501
00:36:16,917 --> 00:36:20,419
Whoever is out there,
they are targeting us.
502
00:36:27,255 --> 00:36:30,957
A gracious host, even in defeat.
503
00:36:31,191 --> 00:36:33,192
I honor the council's decision.
504
00:36:33,227 --> 00:36:35,361
Congratulations, Magistrate Hathorne.
505
00:36:35,395 --> 00:36:37,997
Shall we dispense with the pleasantries?
506
00:36:38,031 --> 00:36:41,666
It is my full intention to shake Salem
507
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:44,469
from the grip of mayhem
brought on by you.
508
00:36:44,803 --> 00:36:47,205
By all means, but take care.
509
00:36:47,240 --> 00:36:49,241
Even a magistrate has his place.
510
00:36:49,275 --> 00:36:50,708
As has a woman.
511
00:36:50,743 --> 00:36:52,744
I suggest you start attending
512
00:36:52,778 --> 00:36:55,547
to some duties more
suited to your gender.
513
00:36:58,751 --> 00:37:04,522
What is it, Mary, that gives
you such brash confidence
514
00:37:04,557 --> 00:37:07,725
to reach so far beyond your station?
515
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,730
You are the Delilah in our midst.
516
00:37:12,765 --> 00:37:16,867
A strong woman is no more
to fear than a strong man.
517
00:37:16,901 --> 00:37:20,071
If George will not humble you, I will.
518
00:37:20,105 --> 00:37:23,474
Consider this before you
seek to harm our family,
519
00:37:23,508 --> 00:37:25,643
my good fledgling magistrate...
520
00:37:25,678 --> 00:37:29,380
My husband owns every
ship docked in this port,
521
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:34,351
land for 1,000 miles, the very
bedpan you relieve yourself in,
522
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:37,488
yet we serve those we could rule.
523
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:41,825
You cannot hide behind your
husband anymore, Mary Sibley.
524
00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:44,160
I am not your enemy.
525
00:37:48,832 --> 00:37:52,668
But make me one, and
you shall feel my fury.
526
00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:05,247
Where's George?
527
00:38:05,282 --> 00:38:07,850
Upstairs, pacified again.
528
00:38:07,885 --> 00:38:09,752
We have more urgent matters.
529
00:38:09,787 --> 00:38:12,455
George is my power in this town.
530
00:38:12,489 --> 00:38:15,057
Never underestimate
his importance to us.
531
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:16,626
He is irreplaceable.
532
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:19,429
The same cannot be said for poor Corwin.
533
00:38:20,263 --> 00:38:24,299
- We vowed to protect one another.
- Not at the cost of the Hive.
534
00:38:24,334 --> 00:38:26,268
Corwin will have exposed our identities
535
00:38:26,302 --> 00:38:27,636
to this new assailant,
536
00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:30,472
unless the assailant
already knows who we are.
537
00:38:30,506 --> 00:38:33,642
You suspect someone within the Hive?
538
00:38:33,676 --> 00:38:35,845
What better way to undermine me?
539
00:38:35,879 --> 00:38:37,546
After all, this is someone
540
00:38:37,580 --> 00:38:40,282
who employs counter-magic
to shield themselves.
541
00:38:40,316 --> 00:38:43,118
The seer can lift the
veil from our eyes,
542
00:38:43,152 --> 00:38:45,286
help us find this witch hunter.
543
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,421
I will go now.
544
00:38:46,455 --> 00:38:48,023
No, at dawn.
545
00:38:48,057 --> 00:38:50,825
It is too dangerous to move
about the shadows tonight.
546
00:38:50,860 --> 00:38:53,995
I will station two militia
men outside the doors.
547
00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:55,430
This was an attempt to lure us out.
548
00:38:55,464 --> 00:38:56,697
We are safest here.
549
00:38:57,932 --> 00:39:01,569
We cannot let their
brutality unravel us.
550
00:39:01,603 --> 00:39:03,738
Find peace in sleep.
551
00:39:06,775 --> 00:39:09,643
Nathaniel, pour me a bath.
552
00:39:38,872 --> 00:39:41,009
Reverend Lewis?
553
00:39:41,943 --> 00:39:46,880
A man of the Lord come
to pray for my soul?
554
00:39:46,914 --> 00:39:50,149
There is but one
destination for you, Isaac,
555
00:39:50,183 --> 00:39:52,452
and I have seen it with my own eyes.
556
00:39:52,486 --> 00:39:53,887
Huh?
557
00:39:56,656 --> 00:39:59,158
Lord, have mercy on him.
558
00:40:02,829 --> 00:40:05,197
I buried the dove, as you asked.
559
00:40:05,232 --> 00:40:07,999
Are you still cross with me, Mother?
560
00:40:08,034 --> 00:40:09,468
Never.
561
00:40:09,502 --> 00:40:12,838
Oh, I only ever want to protect you.
562
00:40:12,872 --> 00:40:15,140
Now, why are you still awake?
563
00:40:15,174 --> 00:40:18,043
I'm afraid to close my eyes.
564
00:40:18,077 --> 00:40:21,146
Afraid when I open them, you'll be gone.
565
00:40:21,180 --> 00:40:27,518
Look, just because you can't see me
566
00:40:27,553 --> 00:40:29,654
doesn't mean I've gone.
567
00:40:29,688 --> 00:40:32,590
But my father went away, didn't he?
568
00:40:32,625 --> 00:40:35,727
And he never came back.
569
00:40:35,761 --> 00:40:39,063
That's what happens when you die.
570
00:40:39,097 --> 00:40:43,735
You go away and you never come back.
571
00:40:43,769 --> 00:40:47,104
You and I are not going anywhere.
572
00:40:47,139 --> 00:40:49,240
This is our home.
573
00:40:49,275 --> 00:40:53,944
And we shall never be
separated, not ever again.
574
00:40:56,181 --> 00:40:57,915
Tell me a story.
575
00:40:57,949 --> 00:41:01,085
I like to hear your
voice as I fall asleep.
576
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:02,890
All right.
577
00:41:12,229 --> 00:41:18,101
Once upon a time, the
land was ruled by monsters.
578
00:41:18,135 --> 00:41:21,838
They wore fine black suits.
579
00:41:21,872 --> 00:41:24,373
They hid behind their fine black book
580
00:41:24,408 --> 00:41:27,143
with their fine black beards.
581
00:41:27,178 --> 00:41:31,314
And they lived in grand houses.
582
00:41:31,348 --> 00:41:34,717
And they ruled by fear.
583
00:41:34,751 --> 00:41:38,553
They made everyone
fear the woods, trees,
584
00:41:38,588 --> 00:41:40,756
and the birds and the
animals around them
585
00:41:40,791 --> 00:41:44,893
so that they would not dare
to venture from their village.
586
00:41:44,928 --> 00:41:46,395
And if anyone said anything
587
00:41:46,430 --> 00:41:49,164
other than what the
monsters wanted them to say,
588
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:51,367
they stole their voices.
589
00:41:54,338 --> 00:41:58,473
Now, in this land, there lived a mother.
590
00:41:58,507 --> 00:42:01,376
Only she didn't know she was a mother,
591
00:42:01,410 --> 00:42:04,146
for the monsters had stolen her son.
592
00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:08,485
One day, she found him,
593
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,154
and she found her voice.
594
00:42:13,188 --> 00:42:18,926
And she swore she would
never lose either ever again.
595
00:42:24,967 --> 00:42:26,601
I love you.
596
00:44:17,496 --> 00:44:20,796
