1
00:00:02,590 --> 00:00:06,526
Previously on "Salem"...
2
00:00:06,527 --> 00:00:08,361
I will find Mercy Lewis
3
00:00:08,362 --> 00:00:11,067
with or without your help.
4
00:00:12,198 --> 00:00:14,132
Are you saying that I am...
5
00:00:14,133 --> 00:00:15,434
A witch.
6
00:00:17,003 --> 00:00:18,370
Tomorrow I shall bring
7
00:00:18,371 --> 00:00:20,372
John Alden's case before the board.
8
00:00:20,373 --> 00:00:22,206
He is innocent.
9
00:00:22,207 --> 00:00:24,276
And you know it.
10
00:00:25,845 --> 00:00:27,379
By order of Increase Mather,
11
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:30,282
I place you under arrest.
12
00:00:33,052 --> 00:00:35,254
I've decided
to defend Captain Alden.
13
00:00:35,255 --> 00:00:36,921
To defend?
14
00:00:55,708 --> 00:01:00,178
Let the little
children come unto me,
15
00:01:00,179 --> 00:01:06,084
for the kingdom of the
Devil belongs to them.
16
00:01:06,085 --> 00:01:07,819
Come.
17
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:10,422
Sit here, poor boy.
18
00:01:10,423 --> 00:01:14,926
Poor, sweet boy, worked
to death by your family.
19
00:01:14,927 --> 00:01:18,263
Every day of your life,
20
00:01:18,264 --> 00:01:21,333
making you unfit for
burial in the churchyard,
21
00:01:21,334 --> 00:01:23,402
so they dumped you here.
22
00:01:24,437 --> 00:01:27,639
Alice.
23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,574
Died in child birth,
24
00:01:29,575 --> 00:01:33,145
pregnant from your mother's brother.
25
00:01:33,146 --> 00:01:36,314
There. There, the baby.
26
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:44,156
Smothered to hide the evidence.
27
00:01:46,826 --> 00:01:50,362
Let mother and child be together.
28
00:01:53,966 --> 00:01:56,468
I am your mother now.
29
00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:59,538
All of you!
30
00:01:59,539 --> 00:02:01,473
And you all are my children.
31
00:02:01,474 --> 00:02:03,708
My father, the good Reverend Lewis,
32
00:02:03,709 --> 00:02:05,510
said that there is no purgatory,
33
00:02:05,511 --> 00:02:08,646
no place for souls lost
between heaven and hell.
34
00:02:08,647 --> 00:02:10,482
But he was wrong.
35
00:02:10,483 --> 00:02:12,984
Earth is purgatory.
36
00:02:12,985 --> 00:02:17,022
We are the ghosts that haunt this land.
37
00:02:17,023 --> 00:02:18,089
No, Mercy.
38
00:02:19,925 --> 00:02:21,926
You are very much alive.
39
00:02:21,927 --> 00:02:24,362
Perhaps more alive than any of us.
40
00:02:24,363 --> 00:02:27,265
Yet you have hidden yourself like a ghost.
41
00:02:27,266 --> 00:02:30,769
Increase searches everywhere for you.
42
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:32,870
He will never look here.
43
00:02:32,871 --> 00:02:34,973
But my girls.
44
00:02:34,974 --> 00:02:37,041
What of my poor girls?
45
00:02:37,042 --> 00:02:39,010
He has four of them.
46
00:02:39,011 --> 00:02:41,980
But do not fear for them or yourself.
47
00:02:41,981 --> 00:02:45,350
Soon our grand rite will cleanse
this land of the evil men do
48
00:02:45,351 --> 00:02:46,618
and the men who do it,
49
00:02:46,619 --> 00:02:49,353
like the great flood of biblical times,
50
00:02:49,354 --> 00:02:51,256
making way for our new world.
51
00:02:51,257 --> 00:02:53,758
And rest assured, Mercy...
52
00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,128
you, your girls,
53
00:02:57,129 --> 00:03:00,098
and all your children
shall have a place there.
54
00:03:03,068 --> 00:03:05,404
Oh, thank you.
55
00:03:08,207 --> 00:03:09,307
But tell me...
56
00:03:09,308 --> 00:03:13,077
tell me so I may reassure
them in their fear.
57
00:03:13,078 --> 00:03:14,179
What is it?
58
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:16,147
What is coming?
59
00:03:25,324 --> 00:03:28,192
Death.
60
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:22,420
'Tis an ancient proverbial truth
61
00:04:22,421 --> 00:04:26,792
that it requires but one dead
apple to rot an entire barrel.
62
00:04:26,793 --> 00:04:29,995
And I come to believe
it requires but one apple
63
00:04:29,996 --> 00:04:33,164
to make this whole land equally rotten.
64
00:04:33,165 --> 00:04:35,834
And not just any apple,
65
00:04:35,835 --> 00:04:37,869
but the malum.
66
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,471
The icon of the apple
67
00:04:39,472 --> 00:04:43,075
runs through almost every
image we have of the grand rite.
68
00:04:43,076 --> 00:04:45,811
The grand rite brings about death,
69
00:04:45,812 --> 00:04:49,547
death on a mass scale.
70
00:04:49,548 --> 00:04:51,549
We know little of its operation,
71
00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:53,719
nor the... the
mechanism of magic
72
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,989
that unleashes the...
the death that follows.
73
00:04:56,990 --> 00:05:00,325
Only this one enigmatically
simple sentence...
74
00:05:00,326 --> 00:05:03,061
"malum est aperta."
75
00:05:03,963 --> 00:05:07,265
"The evil begins."
76
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:09,067
But I have been misreading
it all these years.
77
00:05:09,068 --> 00:05:10,936
We all have, my father included.
78
00:05:10,937 --> 00:05:14,440
"Malum" means "evil," but equally "apple."
79
00:05:14,441 --> 00:05:16,274
And I know believe the sentence to read,
80
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:17,810
"the apple opens,"
81
00:05:17,811 --> 00:05:24,349
and, by implication, unleashes
the death that results.
82
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:26,885
I believe I have seen that apple,
83
00:05:26,886 --> 00:05:30,388
or the box that contains it...
84
00:05:30,389 --> 00:05:33,525
In the house of John Alden.
85
00:05:36,295 --> 00:05:37,629
Yes?
86
00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:40,065
Reverend Mather?
87
00:05:40,066 --> 00:05:42,267
I know it is late.
88
00:05:48,074 --> 00:05:49,774
What are you doing out?
89
00:05:49,775 --> 00:05:51,176
I'm sorry.
90
00:05:51,177 --> 00:05:53,245
I didn't know who else to turn to.
91
00:05:53,246 --> 00:05:56,715
You are the only one who can help me.
92
00:05:56,716 --> 00:05:59,050
Well, then you did
the right thing by coming.
93
00:06:00,553 --> 00:06:04,056
Uh... How may I help you,
and... and with what?
94
00:06:04,057 --> 00:06:07,625
Do you think it's
possible to be a witch
95
00:06:07,626 --> 00:06:09,394
and not even know it?
96
00:06:10,329 --> 00:06:12,363
Um...
97
00:06:12,364 --> 00:06:13,865
I-I think one would know
98
00:06:13,866 --> 00:06:16,801
if one had... Deeded one's soul to Satan.
99
00:06:16,802 --> 00:06:19,237
But what if
someone deeded it for you?
100
00:06:20,373 --> 00:06:21,973
I can assure you, Miss Hale...
101
00:06:21,974 --> 00:06:24,076
No. I want more than your assurance.
102
00:06:24,077 --> 00:06:26,311
I want...
103
00:06:30,616 --> 00:06:33,351
I want you to examine me now...
104
00:06:33,352 --> 00:06:34,953
For the mark of the Devil.
105
00:06:36,155 --> 00:06:38,957
Then, you may assure me.
106
00:07:17,463 --> 00:07:19,564
I feel no sign of Satan.
107
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:21,900
You seem, to me, in every respect,
108
00:07:21,901 --> 00:07:25,337
unmolested by the Devil.
109
00:07:25,338 --> 00:07:26,605
I assure you, Miss Hale,
110
00:07:26,606 --> 00:07:28,940
if you were a witch, you would know it.
111
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,355
Ask not for whom the bell tolls.
112
00:07:43,356 --> 00:07:46,291
It tolls for...
113
00:07:46,292 --> 00:07:48,860
I wonder who will be first.
114
00:07:48,861 --> 00:07:51,163
Who will it be?
115
00:07:52,664 --> 00:07:54,199
What do you mean?
116
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,768
Whoever will speak will not burn.
117
00:07:56,769 --> 00:07:58,736
Simple.
118
00:08:02,408 --> 00:08:06,011
Close in here this evening, no?
119
00:08:06,012 --> 00:08:08,580
Think I'll take some air.
120
00:08:10,549 --> 00:08:13,551
While I'm gone, consider...
121
00:08:13,552 --> 00:08:16,421
Which of you will be the first to confess
122
00:08:16,422 --> 00:08:20,058
what the witch John Alden did to you.
123
00:08:20,059 --> 00:08:21,559
Aah!
124
00:08:36,342 --> 00:08:39,644
Mercy, thank God.
125
00:08:39,645 --> 00:08:41,579
We cannot hold on.
126
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:43,581
He is going to make us turn.
127
00:08:43,582 --> 00:08:46,017
But you have come to save us?
128
00:08:46,018 --> 00:08:48,486
No, it doesn't work that way.
129
00:08:48,487 --> 00:08:52,324
You're not ready to travel as I do.
130
00:08:52,325 --> 00:08:55,293
But remember, we still
serve the queen of the night,
131
00:08:55,294 --> 00:08:59,464
and she has not forgotten
you any more than I have,
132
00:08:59,465 --> 00:09:02,400
and there will be a day
where she will save you.
133
00:09:02,401 --> 00:09:03,401
I promise.
134
00:09:03,402 --> 00:09:05,002
But for now,
135
00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:08,273
you must give that old goat what he wants.
136
00:09:08,274 --> 00:09:11,109
I'm terribly afraid
it's us he's going to serve up.
137
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:14,479
This is surely part of her design.
138
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,248
Her web is greater than all of ours,
139
00:09:17,249 --> 00:09:18,783
and she has a vision,
140
00:09:18,784 --> 00:09:21,719
a vision of what this land could be.
141
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,488
So do as Reverend Mather asks
142
00:09:23,489 --> 00:09:26,458
and speak against John Alden at the trial.
143
00:09:52,951 --> 00:09:55,820
Malum aperta.
144
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:01,559
But why John Alden?
145
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:15,440
But he is innocent.
146
00:10:23,382 --> 00:10:25,483
It matters to me.
147
00:10:49,275 --> 00:10:51,943
Mary, listen to me.
148
00:10:51,944 --> 00:10:55,480
To free him would reveal
what you are to him.
149
00:10:55,481 --> 00:10:57,648
You think
he could love you then?
150
00:10:57,649 --> 00:11:00,085
Do not lose his love.
151
00:11:00,086 --> 00:11:04,322
Use it for all of us.
152
00:11:04,323 --> 00:11:07,592
That is the sacrifice.
153
00:11:12,077 --> 00:11:13,711
In all of the
literature on witchcraft,
154
00:11:13,712 --> 00:11:15,797
on malice, malum is "evil."
155
00:11:15,798 --> 00:11:17,808
So you tell me why, in
this particular case,
156
00:11:17,809 --> 00:11:20,195
should it signify "apple"?
157
00:11:20,196 --> 00:11:21,593
I have reason to believe
the malum referred to here
158
00:11:21,594 --> 00:11:22,861
is an actual object,
159
00:11:22,862 --> 00:11:25,697
and that object is here in
Salem awaiting use against us.
160
00:11:25,698 --> 00:11:28,134
Well, it's
an interesting theorem,
161
00:11:28,135 --> 00:11:32,371
but... It fails the most basic
tenet of rational thinking.
162
00:11:32,372 --> 00:11:36,274
Tell me... the shortest distance
between two points is...?
163
00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:38,510
- A line.
- Correct.
164
00:11:38,511 --> 00:11:39,745
And often,
165
00:11:39,746 --> 00:11:44,316
the simplest explanation
is the correct explanation.
166
00:11:44,317 --> 00:11:47,019
I'm only trying
to stop the grand rite.
167
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,188
Stop the grand rite?
168
00:11:49,189 --> 00:11:51,189
You?
169
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:54,660
Oh, my, the arrogance of youth.
170
00:11:54,661 --> 00:11:56,962
Would you even know how to stop it?
171
00:11:56,963 --> 00:11:57,996
And at what cost?
172
00:11:57,997 --> 00:12:00,232
Or would you like to hear from one
173
00:12:00,233 --> 00:12:03,368
who actually has stopped
it and has paid the cost?
174
00:12:03,369 --> 00:12:05,103
You?
175
00:12:07,107 --> 00:12:08,940
I never knew.
176
00:12:08,941 --> 00:12:11,243
Many years ago.
177
00:12:11,244 --> 00:12:12,544
In marburg.
178
00:12:12,545 --> 00:12:15,113
You were still just a-a baby.
179
00:12:15,114 --> 00:12:16,582
The German witches, oh,
180
00:12:16,583 --> 00:12:19,285
far bolder than even the essex witches.
181
00:12:19,286 --> 00:12:23,756
They attempted the grand rite.
182
00:12:23,757 --> 00:12:28,561
Within the space of a month,
a dozen children disappeared.
183
00:12:28,562 --> 00:12:31,830
Their bodies were found bled dry.
184
00:12:31,831 --> 00:12:34,900
Their innocent blood soaked the ground.
185
00:12:34,901 --> 00:12:37,969
And as the full moon approached,
more children disappeared,
186
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:40,772
and I knew the grand rite
was nearing its completion.
187
00:12:40,773 --> 00:12:42,808
So while others searched for the children,
188
00:12:42,809 --> 00:12:45,477
I hunted the witch.
189
00:12:45,478 --> 00:12:47,680
And I found him.
190
00:12:47,681 --> 00:12:50,416
He had taken the appearance
of a 6-year-old girl,
191
00:12:50,417 --> 00:12:52,851
but I knew this was no girl.
192
00:12:52,852 --> 00:12:54,452
It was him.
193
00:12:54,453 --> 00:13:00,125
And I strangled her with my bare hands.
194
00:13:00,126 --> 00:13:05,197
And as the life left that body,
195
00:13:05,198 --> 00:13:08,166
the Devil reached out
and snatched the body,
196
00:13:08,167 --> 00:13:09,635
but I held on.
197
00:13:09,636 --> 00:13:14,005
I was determined that he should
not return to his home in hell.
198
00:13:14,006 --> 00:13:18,844
And my hands were plunged
into the boiling black tar.
199
00:13:18,845 --> 00:13:20,946
Hellfire.
200
00:13:22,549 --> 00:13:26,585
These hands
have actually touched hell.
201
00:13:28,622 --> 00:13:30,822
And they burn me still.
202
00:13:35,094 --> 00:13:36,662
But the grand rite was averted?
203
00:13:41,267 --> 00:13:45,904
There really is only
one way to stop the grand rite.
204
00:13:45,905 --> 00:13:49,975
One must kill the witch that began it
205
00:13:49,976 --> 00:13:53,612
before the moonrise that ends it.
206
00:13:53,613 --> 00:13:55,013
In this case
207
00:13:55,014 --> 00:13:57,583
kill John Alden.
208
00:14:10,063 --> 00:14:11,329
It's no secret
209
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:16,602
that John Alden has a cold
and a willful hatred for us,
210
00:14:16,603 --> 00:14:18,804
for everything we believe
211
00:14:18,805 --> 00:14:23,074
and for our puritan community of saints.
212
00:14:23,075 --> 00:14:24,676
And so, it was
213
00:14:24,677 --> 00:14:29,448
that a young John Alden
severed himself from Salem
214
00:14:29,449 --> 00:14:35,421
and, rootless, faithless, and loveless,
215
00:14:35,422 --> 00:14:39,257
cast himself into the crucible of war,
216
00:14:39,258 --> 00:14:41,193
where he was captured
by the heathen Indians.
217
00:14:41,194 --> 00:14:47,399
And that seed of evil within,
already a hard and vicious knot,
218
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,502
found fertile ground in which to flourish.
219
00:14:50,503 --> 00:14:55,274
And the savage servants of
the angry, eldritch gods,
220
00:14:55,275 --> 00:14:58,811
they saw in Alden a gift from Satan,
221
00:14:58,812 --> 00:15:00,512
a powerful and vicious weapon
222
00:15:00,513 --> 00:15:03,915
to be used in their
hopeless war against us.
223
00:15:03,916 --> 00:15:07,486
And so, because of his hatred for us
224
00:15:07,487 --> 00:15:13,325
and his hatred for one
he felt had betrayed him,
225
00:15:13,326 --> 00:15:15,360
a powerful and a vicious weapon he became.
226
00:15:15,361 --> 00:15:19,265
Sir, this is pure fancy,
227
00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:21,099
bald conjecture.
228
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,067
You have no idea what may
229
00:15:22,068 --> 00:15:23,569
or may not have happened to Captain Alden
230
00:15:23,570 --> 00:15:27,605
while fighting for all our
lives against the Indians
231
00:15:27,606 --> 00:15:29,741
or when he was held their captive.
232
00:15:29,742 --> 00:15:31,977
Well, then, let him speak.
233
00:15:31,978 --> 00:15:33,411
Let Alden tell us here and now
234
00:15:33,412 --> 00:15:36,882
exactly what transpired
during that long period of time
235
00:15:36,883 --> 00:15:38,984
when you were lost amongst the savages.
236
00:15:38,985 --> 00:15:40,586
Speak, man.
237
00:15:41,554 --> 00:15:43,389
Speak!
238
00:15:44,323 --> 00:15:46,224
No?
239
00:15:46,225 --> 00:15:51,196
All those years, what
could he have been doing?
240
00:15:52,165 --> 00:15:53,599
I will tell you.
241
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,100
Like Satan in the book of job,
242
00:15:55,101 --> 00:15:57,769
he was walking to and fro upon the earth
243
00:15:57,770 --> 00:16:00,806
mastering the tools of malice,
244
00:16:00,807 --> 00:16:02,541
learning the dark art
245
00:16:02,542 --> 00:16:07,245
of sending demonic familiars
to do his bidding at a distance.
246
00:16:07,246 --> 00:16:10,849
You will observe, here, upon his neck...
247
00:16:12,418 --> 00:16:16,955
An iron-hard, raised lump with a hole,
248
00:16:16,956 --> 00:16:21,893
and it was here where
he suckles his familiars.
249
00:16:28,201 --> 00:16:31,403
You will not laugh again.
250
00:16:31,404 --> 00:16:34,106
I'm sure you have laughed
many times to think how,
251
00:16:34,107 --> 00:16:37,676
beneath the very nose
of a devoted young wife,
252
00:16:37,677 --> 00:16:41,179
you turned our leader, a
once robust George Sibley,
253
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:44,049
into a suffering heap that he is today.
254
00:16:44,050 --> 00:16:47,819
And after you had undermined
the pillar of our community,
255
00:16:47,820 --> 00:16:50,989
you unleashed a campaign of terror.
256
00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:55,561
It was Alden who projected that
specter of dread, the night hag,
257
00:16:55,562 --> 00:16:57,195
to terrorize Mercy Lewis.
258
00:16:57,196 --> 00:17:00,565
And you will ask, "why? Why Mercy Lewis?"
259
00:17:00,566 --> 00:17:04,970
Well, perhaps it was because her
father, the good Reverend Lewis,
260
00:17:04,971 --> 00:17:09,307
married Alden's bitterly
lost love to a hated rival,
261
00:17:09,308 --> 00:17:15,346
or perhaps it was just to show
that no one in Salem is safe,
262
00:17:15,347 --> 00:17:19,251
not even the daughter
of a blessed Reverend.
263
00:17:21,554 --> 00:17:23,922
Cotton!
264
00:17:23,923 --> 00:17:25,657
You attended Mercy Lewis.
265
00:17:25,658 --> 00:17:30,261
You had no doubt as to what ailed her.
266
00:17:30,262 --> 00:17:33,031
She was indeed
under spectral attack,
267
00:17:33,032 --> 00:17:34,132
but Captain Alden...
268
00:17:34,133 --> 00:17:36,334
Captain
Alden... what did he say
269
00:17:36,335 --> 00:17:38,336
when he witnessed such an attack?
270
00:17:41,107 --> 00:17:42,640
He cast some doubt upon it.
271
00:17:42,641 --> 00:17:44,943
Some doubt!
272
00:17:44,944 --> 00:17:47,178
I am told...
273
00:17:47,179 --> 00:17:49,415
He said it was...
274
00:17:49,416 --> 00:17:51,449
"Bullshit."
275
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:55,854
And he said that prayers were worthless.
276
00:17:55,855 --> 00:17:59,958
Prayer? Worthless?
277
00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:03,394
Ask yourselves...
278
00:18:03,395 --> 00:18:06,531
every time we have attempted
to catch and stop a witch,
279
00:18:06,532 --> 00:18:09,500
who has risen up to defend them?
280
00:18:09,501 --> 00:18:13,605
Who alone among us, in
encounter, time after time,
281
00:18:13,606 --> 00:18:16,642
with witches has emerged
with nary a scratch upon him?
282
00:18:16,643 --> 00:18:20,378
Whose name was on Giles
Corey's lips as he died?
283
00:18:20,379 --> 00:18:25,050
Who has proclaimed that he will
see every man here in his grave?
284
00:18:25,051 --> 00:18:27,619
And who stood up to defend Bridget bishop
285
00:18:27,620 --> 00:18:31,423
even in the very sight of the
monstrosity she had created?
286
00:18:31,424 --> 00:18:32,724
I swear to you
287
00:18:32,725 --> 00:18:36,895
this man condemns himself
every time he opens his mouth.
288
00:18:36,896 --> 00:18:39,931
And like Satan in the garden of eden,
289
00:18:39,932 --> 00:18:43,101
John Alden understands that
women are the open doorway
290
00:18:43,102 --> 00:18:47,072
through which evil enters to poison us all.
291
00:18:47,073 --> 00:18:51,709
How many women, young
and old, good and bad,
292
00:18:51,710 --> 00:18:53,511
has Alden bewitched?
293
00:18:53,512 --> 00:18:57,015
It has been seen that John
Alden attempted to seduce
294
00:18:57,016 --> 00:19:00,285
even the highest women in the land.
295
00:19:00,286 --> 00:19:01,687
Mary Sibley.
296
00:19:03,355 --> 00:19:06,291
Did not the accused
forcibly enter your house,
297
00:19:06,292 --> 00:19:10,729
nay, into your very boudoir,
in the dead of night?
298
00:19:10,730 --> 00:19:13,031
Would I allow such a thing?
299
00:19:13,032 --> 00:19:15,667
I do not know.
300
00:19:15,668 --> 00:19:18,736
But your servant man has testified
301
00:19:18,737 --> 00:19:22,875
that Alden did indeed forcibly
make entry in the night.
302
00:19:27,346 --> 00:19:29,314
He came to discuss politics.
303
00:19:29,315 --> 00:19:30,848
- Politics?
- Indeed.
304
00:19:30,849 --> 00:19:31,984
To announce his intention
305
00:19:31,985 --> 00:19:34,185
to take his father's
seat on the select board.
306
00:19:34,186 --> 00:19:35,653
In the middle of the night?
307
00:19:40,426 --> 00:19:42,227
Miss Hale.
308
00:19:44,697 --> 00:19:49,100
The accused was seen kissing
you forcibly in public.
309
00:19:49,101 --> 00:19:51,636
There is no blame attached to you.
310
00:19:51,637 --> 00:19:55,974
You are a... a slight and
defenseless slip of a girl.
311
00:19:55,975 --> 00:19:58,476
But do you deny it?
312
00:20:07,420 --> 00:20:08,420
He did.
313
00:20:09,122 --> 00:20:12,657
He did.
314
00:20:12,658 --> 00:20:15,526
A snake in the grass is what John Alden was
315
00:20:15,527 --> 00:20:19,064
and what John Alden is.
316
00:20:19,065 --> 00:20:23,301
And when he was not attempting
to seduce his betters,
317
00:20:23,302 --> 00:20:26,304
he was satiating his own inhuman lusts
318
00:20:26,305 --> 00:20:27,905
in roomfuls of whores
319
00:20:27,906 --> 00:20:31,076
in the brothel run by his very own witches.
320
00:20:32,711 --> 00:20:38,283
And, worst of all, I think, the
tender, young maidens of Salem,
321
00:20:38,284 --> 00:20:42,187
so eager to fall prey
to his serpentine ways.
322
00:20:49,762 --> 00:20:54,099
Mercy told us it
was... it was John Alden
323
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:57,269
who came I-in the shadows in the night,
324
00:20:57,270 --> 00:21:03,941
that he... he kissed and licked
and bit every part of her.
325
00:21:03,942 --> 00:21:09,647
But he bewitched her so
she might not name his name
326
00:21:09,648 --> 00:21:12,517
but she might blame all on the hag.
327
00:21:12,518 --> 00:21:17,255
He took her in the night in spectral form
328
00:21:17,256 --> 00:21:22,327
and gave her body and
soul to the Devil himself.
329
00:21:24,430 --> 00:21:27,832
And she... she drew
us in after that
330
00:21:27,833 --> 00:21:31,136
w-with magical
tricks a-and games.
331
00:21:31,137 --> 00:21:34,439
And, soon, we were dancing
in the woods with him,
332
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,944
where we touched each other
and, one after the other,
333
00:21:38,945 --> 00:21:40,879
laid with him.
334
00:21:48,154 --> 00:21:49,287
Really?
335
00:22:00,566 --> 00:22:02,100
All of you?
336
00:22:10,176 --> 00:22:13,879
Are you saying, Emily...
337
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,447
That you are not a maiden?
338
00:22:17,583 --> 00:22:19,417
If I were to examine you,
339
00:22:19,418 --> 00:22:23,155
have one of the women here examine you...
340
00:22:24,756 --> 00:22:28,159
They would find that you are not intact?
341
00:22:31,530 --> 00:22:35,033
He... he has
tongue and fingers
342
00:22:35,034 --> 00:22:36,501
and invisible instruments
of... of pleasure.
343
00:22:36,502 --> 00:22:37,469
Ah.
344
00:22:37,470 --> 00:22:39,971
But I-I had my eyes closed.
345
00:22:39,972 --> 00:22:41,907
I don't know what he did.
346
00:22:41,908 --> 00:22:44,442
These are phantasms,
347
00:22:44,443 --> 00:22:47,845
fabrications of the mind.
348
00:22:47,846 --> 00:22:49,815
And who here among us has not had,
349
00:22:49,816 --> 00:22:55,186
even involuntarily, some heated thoughts?
350
00:22:55,187 --> 00:22:58,623
This girl has been overwhelmed by them.
351
00:22:58,624 --> 00:23:02,427
Especially in the face of extreme torture
352
00:23:02,428 --> 00:23:04,896
by my own father.
353
00:23:06,565 --> 00:23:10,836
Put to the rack, threatened with death,
354
00:23:10,837 --> 00:23:13,404
even an innocent girl
might think herself a witch,
355
00:23:13,405 --> 00:23:16,942
and any man around her a Devil.
356
00:23:18,244 --> 00:23:20,045
I submit to you that everything
you have seen here today
357
00:23:20,046 --> 00:23:24,749
is the result of torture
worthy of the inquisition!
358
00:23:25,918 --> 00:23:28,353
Who is it who has really violated women?
359
00:23:30,256 --> 00:23:33,525
John Alden?
360
00:23:33,526 --> 00:23:38,230
Or one who possesses...
361
00:23:38,231 --> 00:23:41,699
And uses...
362
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:43,935
Tools such as this?!
363
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:48,473
How dare you?
364
00:23:48,474 --> 00:23:50,608
No, sir! How dare you?!
365
00:23:56,182 --> 00:23:59,084
This session
is suspended for the day!
366
00:23:59,085 --> 00:24:03,888
We will resume in the morning
when tempers have cooled.
367
00:24:17,970 --> 00:24:19,637
The whole town wants to hang me
368
00:24:19,638 --> 00:24:21,839
like I'm some kind of monster,
369
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,111
like I possess some dark, magic power.
370
00:24:26,112 --> 00:24:26,911
And you do.
371
00:24:26,912 --> 00:24:29,447
Oh, not you, too.
372
00:24:29,448 --> 00:24:31,216
No.
373
00:24:31,217 --> 00:24:33,084
Don't believe you're a witch.
374
00:24:33,085 --> 00:24:36,421
But I do believe you possess
something of dark, magic power.
375
00:24:38,124 --> 00:24:40,725
Where is the malum?
376
00:24:40,726 --> 00:24:41,759
What?
377
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,827
The box.
378
00:24:42,828 --> 00:24:45,663
The box you found
379
00:24:45,664 --> 00:24:48,233
that lured that infernal
witch to your house.
380
00:24:48,234 --> 00:24:49,300
Why?
381
00:24:49,301 --> 00:24:52,570
I believe it is the fabled malum,
382
00:24:52,571 --> 00:24:54,506
the key to the grand rite.
383
00:24:55,641 --> 00:24:57,075
This more of your book nonsense?
384
00:24:58,244 --> 00:25:00,978
That box covered in images...
385
00:25:00,979 --> 00:25:03,881
I believe it is the greatest
weapon of the witches,
386
00:25:03,882 --> 00:25:05,883
that it contains some kind of
387
00:25:05,884 --> 00:25:08,453
supernatural agent of destruction
388
00:25:08,454 --> 00:25:13,859
which will open when the
grand rite is completed,
389
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:17,762
releasing its doom upon us like...
390
00:25:17,763 --> 00:25:19,297
Like the myth of pandora.
391
00:25:19,298 --> 00:25:21,866
Look, if that thing
is what you say it is,
392
00:25:21,867 --> 00:25:23,935
and your father knows that I have it,
393
00:25:23,936 --> 00:25:26,171
that is the final nail in my coffin.
394
00:25:26,172 --> 00:25:28,273
And what if it's
the only chance we have?
395
00:25:32,578 --> 00:25:33,711
Giles has it.
396
00:25:33,712 --> 00:25:36,947
Giles?
397
00:25:36,948 --> 00:25:38,616
Giles Corey is dead.
398
00:25:39,751 --> 00:25:43,020
And I buried it in his grave.
399
00:27:09,714 --> 00:27:11,614
You know what to do with it?
400
00:27:22,793 --> 00:27:24,794
Father, I must speak to you.
401
00:27:24,795 --> 00:27:25,862
What now?
402
00:27:25,863 --> 00:27:27,330
More disrespect?
403
00:27:27,331 --> 00:27:29,032
No.
404
00:27:29,033 --> 00:27:32,101
Sir.
405
00:27:32,102 --> 00:27:34,370
I still think what you
do is fundamentally wrong,
406
00:27:34,371 --> 00:27:37,440
that there must be other ways, but...
407
00:27:37,441 --> 00:27:40,209
I am afraid.
408
00:27:40,210 --> 00:27:44,413
Deathly afraid.
409
00:27:44,414 --> 00:27:47,950
I fear, while we disagree on methods,
410
00:27:47,951 --> 00:27:50,720
we are both determined
to stop the grand rite.
411
00:27:50,721 --> 00:27:55,224
Well...
412
00:27:55,225 --> 00:27:58,761
I'm gratified that you
at least acknowledge that.
413
00:28:01,131 --> 00:28:04,601
The malum is here.
414
00:28:06,570 --> 00:28:09,806
Or was.
415
00:28:09,807 --> 00:28:12,141
I saw it.
416
00:28:12,142 --> 00:28:13,576
I touched it, even.
417
00:28:13,577 --> 00:28:15,779
Indeed?
418
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:18,682
Then where is it?
419
00:28:18,683 --> 00:28:20,316
I don't know.
420
00:28:20,317 --> 00:28:23,019
Well...
421
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:25,488
Tell me where you saw it.
422
00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:31,995
In John Alden's house.
423
00:29:08,932 --> 00:29:10,533
Father, you don't understand.
424
00:29:10,534 --> 00:29:12,369
He was helping me.
425
00:29:12,370 --> 00:29:14,771
It was he who trapped the
witch and carried her with me
426
00:29:14,772 --> 00:29:16,439
to the woods to question and kill her.
427
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,375
You don't understand.
428
00:29:18,376 --> 00:29:20,643
In some respects, the
witches are not unlike us.
429
00:29:20,644 --> 00:29:24,046
They have factions. They
have power struggles.
430
00:29:24,047 --> 00:29:27,550
Your friend Alden was not
trying to catch a witch.
431
00:29:27,551 --> 00:29:29,518
He was eliminating a rival.
432
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:32,621
You are blinded by your own doubt,
433
00:29:32,622 --> 00:29:35,191
and it will destroy you!
434
00:29:35,192 --> 00:29:36,493
If I grant you
435
00:29:36,494 --> 00:29:40,062
that there is a possibility
that Alden is innocent,
436
00:29:40,063 --> 00:29:42,064
can you not grant the possibility
437
00:29:42,065 --> 00:29:44,834
that there is a 1 in 10,
nay, a 1 in 100 chance
438
00:29:44,835 --> 00:29:47,070
that I am right?!
439
00:29:47,071 --> 00:29:49,839
And if I am, thousands will perish.
440
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,474
The nation itself may fall.
441
00:29:51,475 --> 00:29:53,542
Can we take that chance? I cannot.
442
00:29:53,543 --> 00:29:55,645
Can you?
443
00:29:55,646 --> 00:29:57,046
I tell you, Cotton,
444
00:29:57,047 --> 00:29:59,582
you do not know this man nearly
as well as you think you do.
445
00:30:00,484 --> 00:30:02,384
I searched Giles Corey's grave.
446
00:30:02,385 --> 00:30:03,820
The malum wasn't there.
447
00:30:03,821 --> 00:30:06,489
That's impossible.
I buried it myself.
448
00:30:06,490 --> 00:30:08,124
Who else knew?
449
00:30:08,125 --> 00:30:10,026
No one.
450
00:30:10,027 --> 00:30:11,527
Just you.
451
00:30:16,066 --> 00:30:17,066
And you don't believe me.
452
00:30:17,067 --> 00:30:19,969
I'm not sure what to believe.
453
00:30:19,970 --> 00:30:21,671
I am certain only of two things.
454
00:30:21,672 --> 00:30:23,072
All our lives may depend on
455
00:30:23,073 --> 00:30:25,207
finding and destroying the malum.
456
00:30:25,208 --> 00:30:27,610
And?
457
00:30:27,611 --> 00:30:29,745
And you are being
less than honest with me.
458
00:30:31,515 --> 00:30:34,083
I've told you everything.
459
00:30:40,624 --> 00:30:42,725
What the hell is going on?!
460
00:30:42,726 --> 00:30:44,961
- Get up.
461
00:30:44,962 --> 00:30:46,328
Those girls are innocent!
462
00:30:48,432 --> 00:30:49,532
No!
463
00:30:54,472 --> 00:30:55,638
Forgive me!
464
00:30:55,639 --> 00:30:58,641
It's the only thing I
regret... lying about you!
465
00:30:58,642 --> 00:31:00,910
Look, I know what they did to you.
466
00:31:00,911 --> 00:31:01,944
It's not your fault.
467
00:31:01,945 --> 00:31:03,246
Get over here!
468
00:31:04,848 --> 00:31:07,283
Damn you!
469
00:31:07,284 --> 00:31:09,252
Do something! They're just girls!
470
00:31:38,982 --> 00:31:43,119
You! You promised you'd spare us!
471
00:31:46,690 --> 00:31:49,692
I am sparing you
the flames of this world
472
00:31:49,693 --> 00:31:51,160
and of the next.
473
00:31:52,129 --> 00:31:54,330
You will not suffer long.
474
00:31:54,331 --> 00:31:59,435
A full measure of Mercy is
being added to your legs.
475
00:31:59,436 --> 00:32:00,603
Let go of me!
476
00:32:00,604 --> 00:32:02,271
Father, you lied!
477
00:32:02,272 --> 00:32:04,473
You promised these
girls they wouldn't...
478
00:32:04,474 --> 00:32:05,908
Burn.
479
00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:07,143
Nor shall they.
480
00:32:07,144 --> 00:32:08,377
Don't do this, father.
481
00:32:08,378 --> 00:32:10,747
How can this possibly help?
482
00:32:10,748 --> 00:32:12,582
You said yourself they were victims!
483
00:32:12,583 --> 00:32:13,750
Sad but true.
484
00:32:13,751 --> 00:32:16,585
But they're tainted... By the Devil.
485
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:18,888
I fear they carry his very seed.
486
00:32:18,889 --> 00:32:20,189
How can you be certain?
487
00:32:20,190 --> 00:32:21,357
I am certain.
488
00:32:21,358 --> 00:32:24,093
I am certain of the
threat they pose to Salem,
489
00:32:24,094 --> 00:32:27,196
just as I am certain that
your weakness poses a threat.
490
00:32:27,197 --> 00:32:30,533
But above all, I am certain that,
491
00:32:30,534 --> 00:32:33,736
like a surgeon, I have
no choice but to cut out
492
00:32:33,737 --> 00:32:36,272
the malignant manifestation of malice
493
00:32:36,273 --> 00:32:38,774
before it can spread any further.
494
00:32:40,811 --> 00:32:41,877
No! Stop!
495
00:32:41,878 --> 00:32:44,147
Please help me! Please! Please!
496
00:32:44,148 --> 00:32:45,247
Get back!
497
00:33:03,233 --> 00:33:06,869
Burn in hell!
498
00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:08,570
Let them burn!
499
00:33:44,851 --> 00:33:47,785
Mercy!
500
00:33:47,786 --> 00:33:50,055
Where are you?!
501
00:33:50,990 --> 00:33:53,425
Mercy!
502
00:33:53,426 --> 00:33:55,093
What is it?
503
00:33:56,529 --> 00:33:57,830
Dollie, what has happened?
504
00:33:57,831 --> 00:34:03,001
Emily, Elizabeth,
Susanna, and charity...
505
00:34:03,002 --> 00:34:05,470
Increase Mather has hung them all.
506
00:34:11,411 --> 00:34:13,578
You swore that they would be safe,
507
00:34:13,579 --> 00:34:14,679
but they're dead!
508
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,648
All of them have been killed!
509
00:34:16,649 --> 00:34:18,917
You said your master would protect us,
510
00:34:18,918 --> 00:34:20,218
and she did nothing!
511
00:34:22,422 --> 00:34:26,625
Go back to Salem.
512
00:34:26,626 --> 00:34:28,460
Gather the young,
513
00:34:28,461 --> 00:34:33,498
the poor, the suffering.
514
00:34:33,499 --> 00:34:37,169
They will be our army.
515
00:34:37,170 --> 00:34:39,771
A new day is upon us.
516
00:34:39,772 --> 00:34:41,973
And that new day demands
517
00:34:41,974 --> 00:34:45,744
a new queen of the night!
518
00:34:47,180 --> 00:34:51,349
I know that so many
of you find it hard to accept,
519
00:34:51,350 --> 00:34:54,419
impossible to believe that John Alden,
520
00:34:54,420 --> 00:34:59,023
son of one of our founders and
a brave soldier in our defense,
521
00:34:59,024 --> 00:35:02,760
is guilty of malefic witchcraft.
522
00:35:02,761 --> 00:35:04,429
Fine.
523
00:35:04,430 --> 00:35:05,897
Fine!
524
00:35:05,898 --> 00:35:09,100
Suspend your belief or
not. It doesn't matter.
525
00:35:09,101 --> 00:35:16,341
The only thing that matters
is that Alden... Be convicted
526
00:35:16,342 --> 00:35:19,611
and sentenced for what he truly is,
527
00:35:19,612 --> 00:35:22,580
a traitor and a murderer.
528
00:35:22,581 --> 00:35:24,082
What?
529
00:35:24,083 --> 00:35:25,484
Whatever do you mean?
530
00:35:25,485 --> 00:35:30,956
I submit that while
John Alden was with the Indians,
531
00:35:30,957 --> 00:35:33,558
he not only took up with them.
532
00:35:33,559 --> 00:35:37,195
He took up arms against his own people,
533
00:35:37,196 --> 00:35:41,233
slaughtering militiamen in his own company,
534
00:35:41,234 --> 00:35:45,337
good new england men, every one of them.
535
00:35:45,338 --> 00:35:48,573
I swear this to be true.
536
00:35:48,574 --> 00:35:52,444
And I dare John Alden to deny it!
537
00:35:52,445 --> 00:35:54,646
I dare you to tell me
538
00:35:54,647 --> 00:35:59,951
that you did not paint your
face as a heathen Indian
539
00:35:59,952 --> 00:36:03,254
and smash the skulls of
men in your own company!
540
00:36:03,255 --> 00:36:05,524
Outrageous accusations!
541
00:36:05,525 --> 00:36:08,092
Wherever did you find such nonsense?
542
00:36:08,093 --> 00:36:11,029
I have sworn
testimony from the slave Tituba!
543
00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:12,630
Aha!
544
00:36:12,631 --> 00:36:15,533
Lies and fantasies.
545
00:36:15,534 --> 00:36:17,669
Lies? Captain?
546
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:20,172
Fantasies?
547
00:36:20,173 --> 00:36:23,875
Do you dispute the charges?
548
00:36:25,611 --> 00:36:26,678
Speak.
549
00:36:28,081 --> 00:36:32,450
Captain... Is this all true?
550
00:36:35,921 --> 00:36:39,958
Every sane man in this
place knows I ain't a witch.
551
00:36:39,959 --> 00:36:43,195
Are you a traitor?
552
00:36:43,196 --> 00:36:45,697
Are you a murderer?
553
00:36:48,434 --> 00:36:50,868
Damn you, John. Answer him.
554
00:37:01,514 --> 00:37:05,383
So, you see...
555
00:37:05,384 --> 00:37:10,655
Sometimes, silence can be the
most eloquent confession of all.
556
00:37:12,525 --> 00:37:15,126
I have no doubt, not a sliver of a doubt,
557
00:37:15,127 --> 00:37:17,262
that John Alden is a witch.
558
00:37:17,263 --> 00:37:22,401
But... Even had I not...
559
00:37:22,402 --> 00:37:24,035
I would still maintain
560
00:37:24,036 --> 00:37:30,442
that he must hang for
crimes he will not deny.
561
00:37:32,878 --> 00:37:34,446
And nor should you.
562
00:37:37,650 --> 00:37:41,686
For God's sake,
tell me my father is wrong.
563
00:37:41,687 --> 00:37:44,656
Tell me you are not
the man he says you are.
564
00:37:44,657 --> 00:37:45,990
What does it matter now?
565
00:37:45,991 --> 00:37:48,827
It Matters to me...
566
00:37:48,828 --> 00:37:50,528
whether you duped me all this time.
567
00:37:50,529 --> 00:37:54,466
Are you sure you want the truth?
568
00:37:54,467 --> 00:37:55,667
Are you really damn sure
569
00:37:55,668 --> 00:37:58,170
you know the difference
between good and evil?
570
00:37:58,171 --> 00:38:00,071
'Cause you puritans,
571
00:38:00,072 --> 00:38:04,176
you think the world is
just black and white.
572
00:38:04,177 --> 00:38:08,246
What if the truth of the world
is that it's nothing but gray?
573
00:38:15,187 --> 00:38:16,655
After the battle of the great swamp,
574
00:38:16,656 --> 00:38:20,191
I was left for dead.
575
00:38:20,192 --> 00:38:23,995
But I was found by the mohawk...
576
00:38:23,996 --> 00:38:26,464
not the Indians we fought, no.
577
00:38:26,465 --> 00:38:28,700
The mohawk aren't our friends,
578
00:38:28,701 --> 00:38:33,471
but they are the enemies
of the abenaki we fight.
579
00:38:33,472 --> 00:38:38,042
In all honesty, I...
580
00:38:38,043 --> 00:38:44,115
I don't think I'll ever
understand why they saved me.
581
00:38:44,116 --> 00:38:47,051
It is a mystery to me to this day.
582
00:38:51,323 --> 00:38:53,425
The scar your old man found
583
00:38:53,426 --> 00:38:55,793
he said was from feeding a familiar?
584
00:38:55,794 --> 00:38:57,428
That was from digging
a ball of lead out of me
585
00:38:57,429 --> 00:39:00,064
and healing it with their medicines.
586
00:39:00,065 --> 00:39:03,000
They held you for ransom?
587
00:39:03,001 --> 00:39:05,002
No.
588
00:39:05,003 --> 00:39:07,939
They treated me with kindness and respect.
589
00:39:09,308 --> 00:39:11,409
And their holy men took an interest in me.
590
00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:14,346
I'm not even sure why or what he saw in me,
591
00:39:14,347 --> 00:39:16,548
but if he hadn't...
592
00:39:16,549 --> 00:39:18,550
I'd be dead.
593
00:39:18,551 --> 00:39:22,187
So I lived amongst them.
594
00:39:22,188 --> 00:39:24,989
I shared their food and their shelter.
595
00:39:24,990 --> 00:39:26,691
I even hunted with them.
596
00:39:26,692 --> 00:39:30,328
One day, me and a few
braves returned from a hunt
597
00:39:30,329 --> 00:39:34,232
to find the village had
been burned to the ground.
598
00:39:34,233 --> 00:39:37,469
The women and the children,
they're all scattered
599
00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:42,139
like dead, fallen leaves, slaughtered.
600
00:39:42,140 --> 00:39:44,108
By the abenaki?
601
00:39:44,109 --> 00:39:45,577
No.
602
00:39:45,578 --> 00:39:48,412
Militia.
603
00:39:48,413 --> 00:39:51,849
Our militia.
604
00:39:51,850 --> 00:39:53,184
Couldn't even be bothered
605
00:39:53,185 --> 00:39:55,453
to tell one Indian tribe from another.
606
00:39:55,454 --> 00:39:58,823
A red fog descended upon me,
607
00:39:58,824 --> 00:40:00,992
and it did not lift until
I ran through those woods
608
00:40:00,993 --> 00:40:03,561
and killed every one of those bastards,
609
00:40:03,562 --> 00:40:05,697
everyone but one.
610
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:12,503
And that I corrected the
night I found the box.
611
00:40:21,313 --> 00:40:22,714
And the malum?
612
00:40:23,616 --> 00:40:25,483
I didn't know nothing about that.
613
00:40:25,484 --> 00:40:30,421
You said it was something
that the witches wanted badly.
614
00:40:30,422 --> 00:40:32,023
When we lost that witch in the woods,
615
00:40:32,024 --> 00:40:33,925
I thought it was best to hide it,
616
00:40:33,926 --> 00:40:36,327
so, like I told you,
I buried it with Giles.
617
00:40:36,328 --> 00:40:37,762
Well, then someone unburied it.
618
00:40:37,763 --> 00:40:39,430
Maybe you have
nothing to worry about, then,
619
00:40:39,431 --> 00:40:40,699
because according to your father,
620
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:42,967
I am the witch behind it.
621
00:40:42,968 --> 00:40:45,336
So, all you have to do is hang me,
622
00:40:45,337 --> 00:40:48,072
and then everything will be just fine.
623
00:40:48,073 --> 00:40:50,675
What I can't figure out,
624
00:40:50,676 --> 00:40:54,679
what I am trying to surmise,
625
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,915
is, after all of this,
626
00:40:57,916 --> 00:41:01,720
after everything
we've been through...
627
00:41:01,721 --> 00:41:06,223
you needed a friend or a pawn?
628
00:41:25,398 --> 00:41:26,966
Weeping don't help.
629
00:41:26,967 --> 00:41:28,600
Trust me.
630
00:41:28,601 --> 00:41:30,402
Done my fair share.
631
00:41:32,605 --> 00:41:37,242
Isaac.
632
00:41:37,243 --> 00:41:39,278
God, you're still bleeding.
633
00:41:39,279 --> 00:41:41,947
Around here, who ain't?
634
00:41:50,356 --> 00:41:52,792
What have I done?
635
00:41:56,562 --> 00:41:59,231
I know none of this is your fault,
636
00:41:59,232 --> 00:42:00,566
and all of it's mine.
637
00:42:00,567 --> 00:42:03,102
He was on his way out of town that day.
638
00:42:03,103 --> 00:42:04,169
I stopped him.
639
00:42:04,170 --> 00:42:05,938
If it weren't for me, he'd be long gone.
640
00:42:05,939 --> 00:42:07,439
None of this would have happened.
641
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,343
I might as well pull the
rope myself in the morning.
642
00:42:11,344 --> 00:42:15,748
I've as good as killed John Alden.
643
00:42:15,749 --> 00:42:17,783
But you...
644
00:42:17,784 --> 00:42:19,551
You can save him.
645
00:42:19,552 --> 00:42:22,221
I can't. I can't!
646
00:42:22,222 --> 00:42:23,622
You're Mary.
647
00:42:23,623 --> 00:42:27,560
You're Mary.
648
00:42:27,561 --> 00:42:28,728
They all call you Mary Sibley.
649
00:42:28,729 --> 00:42:30,296
Do you know what I call you
650
00:42:30,297 --> 00:42:34,233
in my head, to myself, in my heart?
651
00:42:34,234 --> 00:42:35,400
"Magic Mary."
652
00:42:35,401 --> 00:42:38,603
You were always magic,
653
00:42:38,604 --> 00:42:41,540
even back when we was just sprouts.
654
00:42:41,541 --> 00:42:43,475
And you could do anything...
655
00:42:43,476 --> 00:42:45,945
always could.
656
00:42:45,946 --> 00:42:48,480
You just have to want it bad enough.
657
00:42:48,481 --> 00:42:51,016
And you do.
658
00:42:51,017 --> 00:42:53,052
Don't you?
659
00:42:53,053 --> 00:42:55,021
You do want John Alden to live.
660
00:43:25,618 --> 00:43:26,785
How did you get in here?
661
00:43:27,888 --> 00:43:30,790
They will hang you tomorrow.
662
00:43:30,791 --> 00:43:33,258
"They"?
663
00:43:33,259 --> 00:43:36,462
Well, aren't you one of them, Mrs. Sibley?
664
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,602
Sometimes, I no
longer remember who I am.
665
00:43:43,603 --> 00:43:45,838
But I know who you are...
666
00:43:45,839 --> 00:43:48,273
an innocent man.
667
00:43:48,274 --> 00:43:51,377
Hardly.
668
00:43:51,378 --> 00:43:54,580
Now it's almost funny.
669
00:43:54,581 --> 00:43:57,349
Salem finally sentenced someone to die
670
00:43:57,350 --> 00:43:59,551
for something they've actually done.
671
00:43:59,552 --> 00:44:02,621
Go home, Mary.
672
00:44:02,622 --> 00:44:05,690
Go back to your life, Mrs. Sibley.
673
00:44:08,395 --> 00:44:10,629
You are my life.
674
00:44:14,234 --> 00:44:16,468
Well, it's a little
late for that thought.
675
00:44:16,469 --> 00:44:18,170
I'll not let you hang.
676
00:44:18,939 --> 00:44:20,605
I can save you.
677
00:44:20,606 --> 00:44:22,008
The good people of Salem,
678
00:44:22,009 --> 00:44:25,611
the people I've been trying to save,
679
00:44:25,612 --> 00:44:29,081
they all want me dead.
680
00:44:29,082 --> 00:44:31,150
They think I'm the Devil himself.
681
00:44:33,053 --> 00:44:34,586
I'm no Devil.
682
00:44:38,258 --> 00:44:42,027
But I am guilty of treason...
683
00:44:42,028 --> 00:44:43,395
And murder.
684
00:44:45,532 --> 00:44:48,033
And I'm ready to hang for it.
685
00:44:49,903 --> 00:44:52,872
Besides...
686
00:44:52,873 --> 00:44:54,306
I'm awfully tired.
687
00:44:55,608 --> 00:44:57,543
Tired of living without you.
688
00:44:57,544 --> 00:45:00,079
There's still a
way for us to be together.
689
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,047
It's over.
690
00:45:01,048 --> 00:45:02,448
What's wrong with you?
691
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:05,484
Have you gone mad like
everyone else in this town?
692
00:45:05,485 --> 00:45:08,520
John, I promise you...
693
00:45:08,521 --> 00:45:10,822
No, don't.
694
00:45:10,823 --> 00:45:14,093
Neither of us is very good
with promises, so no more vows.
695
00:45:14,094 --> 00:45:15,160
Listen to me.
696
00:45:15,161 --> 00:45:17,329
I am listening to you,
697
00:45:17,330 --> 00:45:20,299
and you aren't making any sense.
698
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:23,602
Look around you.
699
00:45:23,603 --> 00:45:27,707
These are stone walls.
700
00:45:27,708 --> 00:45:29,174
Barred windows,
701
00:45:29,175 --> 00:45:31,476
an iron door.
702
00:45:31,477 --> 00:45:35,947
Right above us, a thick
rope awaiting my neck.
703
00:45:35,948 --> 00:45:39,384
Those are the stubborn facts.
704
00:45:39,385 --> 00:45:40,352
And all the love in the world
705
00:45:40,353 --> 00:45:42,955
can't change a single one of them.
706
00:45:42,956 --> 00:45:44,323
You're wrong.
707
00:45:44,324 --> 00:45:48,594
Love is stronger than fact,
stronger than everything.
708
00:45:50,530 --> 00:45:53,232
But I tell you, John,
709
00:45:53,233 --> 00:45:56,535
there is still a place
for us in this world.
710
00:45:56,536 --> 00:45:59,371
Only in dreams.
711
00:45:59,372 --> 00:46:01,840
All right, then.
712
00:46:01,841 --> 00:46:05,044
One last time...
713
00:46:05,045 --> 00:46:06,946
Dream with me.
