[North Africa, in 1600]
In ancient times the world was immersed into darkness and chaos The time of witchcraft and sorcery The time when no one stood against evil
Where is the throne room?
Shhh!
[Now, tell me where is the throne room...speak!!! Out there!]
Good enough, good enough
Now, let no one of the impure heathen stand...farewell!!!
There's something in here with us No treasure's worth this
Silent, you dogs!!!
Hold state!
Captain, there's the devil here, I knew it
I said...hold state!!!
I am the only devil here!
Now...follow me!!!
Hear this voice? I've found it!
Hey!!!
What...are you!
I am the Devil's Reaper
I am here to claim you, Solomon Kane!
Your deal is done!
What! You have made no deal!
There was a deal! And your soul is the price...
...your life of murder and greed is over!
You can not take my soul!
Bend to knees before me...the Devil will have you!
You can tell your Master that I am not yet ready for Hell
God protects me!
Fool! He has abandoned you!
On your knees!
Never! You'll never take my soul!!!
You can not escape Us!
Your soul is damned!
ENGLAND ONE YEAR LATER
Solomon?
Who is the novice?
This is brother Thomas, he joined us here a few days ago
These marks divine...really protect you from Satan? Why do you name this in a holy place!
I would like to speak with Solomon alone
Once again we heard your cries at matins No, my dreams...my dreams do hold me still
You would do well to listen to what your dreams tell you Ain't you?
My dreams only tell me that I am damned
God protects his own But I am not one of his own...am I?
My enemies are ever watching over me But this place...this place, with prayers, symbols...
They are all what hide me from its gaze
Solomon, all these months you have been here I felt a shadow covering us
In these dark times I prayed for guides and I was answered
Solomon, you must leave us
Why that? I live here in solitude, never caused harm I have renounced my evil ways, my power...I am learning, learning to be a man of peace
I know you are, but your future is not here with us How could tell this to me...
I have given all my wealths the church! No, I am grateful for generosity of course but...
you must understand...
Father! Father! Father!Do not...do not leave me back This place is a sanctuary to me
Where should I have to go But to your home!
Home? No more than that because you've lands, come back in their possession!
Solomon... No!!! I can not return home!
Nor can you remain!
I was told in my dreams he was to be sent from here And he listened to what I told
But it was not his purpose
Every man must discover his own destiny Kane must find it to have his There are many paths to redemption, not all of them peaceful
Pilgrim! Offer you a ride? Thanks you Sir but no
Along this edge it's better not to travel alone No I thank you for your offer, but I'll be walking
As you wish, God be with you And with you two, too
Move and you die
Don't wanna need trouble! Well that's too bad because you will!!!
Let's have a look! Nothing worth's here...
Just take what you want!
Don't you worry pilgrim, we will!
Don't move! Look at this! These are magical symbols! I say he's a sorcerer! What should we do with you? We burn...as a witch!!!
Burn him! Burn him!
There's murder in your eyes, strangler! Would you kill me? Eh? Eh? Would you?
No... What? You won't kill the man who stole you?
I will not fight another man, I have renounced to violence...
Well that's a shame, because we haven't!
You will do as I say Solomon!
Don't forget your place! You're the second son on Marcus is my heir
He will be master of this land after my death, you...
Father, Marcus is no more than a bully!
You will take only orders and join the Church, as I command!
I don't want to be a priest!
What you...it's not important, Holy Father is here to take you to the Abbey
I won't go!
If you defy me you will have nothing!
I won't catch you back, you'll be banned from the State You'll get what you want! Walk out now and you will never return! Do not dishonour me!
Be calm, be calm sir! Be calm you're safe!
He's awake! Father!
Here, take a drink of water if you can
Calm down, calm down
Meredith! His fever has broken, father Thanks the Lord Son! He will feel better!
My name is Krotorn, William Krotorn! My daughter Meredith will attend at you!
Good Lord must be watching over you, sir He guided us here to rescue you
Edward Krotorn, we'll find a place to lay the camp in the night!
Should I place it right here, mother? Yes, thank you Meredith
Better life here, Meredith?
Samuel, water the horses! Why me?
When your brother give you a tag just accept and do it!
Mr Kane, you should be resting!
I'm grate for your hospitality I think it's the moment to clean up, come and help you as I can
You regained your appetite, Mr! It's...it's fine on me Mrs Krotorn
[joking]
William tells that you were captain of a ship Yeah! That I was!
Did you fought the Spanish? I did
Who else?
With all managed to war, it seems
There were many masters... Once I fought with Admiral Drake
Admiral Drake?
But it don't ended well...
Must be so exciting...see the world and learning new things...
Why you'd think a life of violence and bloodshed is so happy for a man?
That was not what I meant you know it... Edward, why do you misunderstand everything I say?
I fought in the Queen's army! Once, then I found my fate And take another's man life, that's... That's not an easy thing to do, do you agree?
I must confess, Mr Krotorn, I was never more at home than when I was in battle Killing...came easy to me
...if you defy me...you'll have nothing... Walk out now and you will never return! Do not dishonor me!!!...
Stop! Stop!
Marcus, what are you doing? Solomon! I thought you got away not to act the part of holy man... Be quiet! You are not allowed to speak!
Sarah, run!!! This is not your worry, brother!
Since you're going away this will remember you're a vile!
Come here! Look here, all of this will be mine and you are nothing! Take your bags and leave this land!!!
Marcus!!! Marcus!!!
I am! I am...
Please, sit down and enjoy me! Thank you!
How do you feel? Scars bruises...but your daughter, a Heaven's gift!
I must admit...just like her mother! Two most beautiful women in this world Mr Kane, They're more than everything to me! And a blessing!
Brothers Kane? I had a brother, but a lifetime has gone
We all lost loved ones, the plagues, persecutions, we begged too...
For Edward knows this, he had a wife and a child once, the Lord took them
Now...now you are sailing to the New World? Yes, we leave, we'll do!
Sometimes we all need to start again... You have considered joining us?
No sir...it's a kind offering for me, But I can't, you're very kind, I should be honest with you If you'd know the kind of acts I was used to... I've done bad things, terrible things, cruel things!
I am...no! I was...once an evil...evil man!
But our Lord speaks of redemption and forgiveness
No! My soul is damned Satan's creatures will take me if should I stray from the path of peace
And you'll not stray, not again, you won't stray...
Capitain Kane! Yes, Meredith? I've made these dresses...you deserve it...
A little worn, miss...
A little...worn!
I'll keep them!
Thank you!
Now he looks a more suitable stately man! What do you think?
Certainly!He's better than in his previous rags!
I'm glad to win your approval!
Right now you look respectful!
Well, it's a long time since anybody could say this about me! (Thank you!)
You are going to sail to America with us? I'm not so sure Samuel...
Why? Well, you and your family are beginning a new life But I need to renew the old one
Could I ask a question? Mhm Are you able to defend if someone attack you?
There was a time when I...would have ripped their still beating heart out of their chest!
Would you fight me? I will if you continue with your infernal questioning...
Fight me! I have no reason to fight you good man!
Samuel, stop this! Now you have a reason...to save a beautiful maiden from me! Oh, Solomon, save me, help!
Come,sir!
Samuel, go back to the carriage, go!
Who could have done this?
The Devil! The Devil was here!
Mmm...there was no Devil...there was a witch burning in here!
A creature must have escaped...we shall leave!
Keep the firewood Edward, For it will keep out shadows from this place at night
Child, could you tell us what happened? Oh, let the boy go, William...
They tried to burn the witch, they turned on the fire but... The flames didn't hurt her
She just laughed and...she said... ...she said that all the Devil's children were free towards now
And then...she killed them all And she burnt their eyes because they came to watch
We shall pray! I'm tired! Just a moment more...for our prayers!
I don't want to pray! (It's allright, allright!)
I'm so tired! Please? Of course you are, let's find a place for you to sleep!
Edward, I think the child could wear your cross tonight, for protection! Of course, here! Thank you!
For you child...
Wear this, child, and you will be safe! Solomon...
It's you we want...
What did you do? Meredith!
This child is...this is a witch! Solomon!
The Devil is waiting for you, Kane!!!
Move!
More recruits for Malachi, my Lord!
Are you ready to serve your Overlord?
Why should we join you?
Deserve us, you have to join us!
Well...just tell us...tell us what to do!
What is he doing?
It's good!
Father! I here's the firewood! Well done, Samuel!
Take it up now!
Let me help you! You need to pull, and here we are! Thank you!
Here, let me see...
Does it hurt? No, I don't feel anything
What about the creature? Why did it? I don't know! He must have had his own reasons...
Are we safe? Don't you worry, there is no evil in you, Meredith, trust me!
I trust you!
What's up with that, Samuel? Take branch more if we want more hot soup! William!
We shall seed a smaller fire tonight Don't want to attract anyone's attention
Solomon! What's the matter? There are hazards... Where? Over there, in the street!
Wait here!
Samuel! Samuel, keep down! Shhh!
Keep down and silence! Who's there? Who are them? Who are?
Listen to me, go back to your father, quickly go all out!
Father!
Solomon! Solomon!
Samuel! Samuel!
Solomon! She's her?
No! Stop! Stop! Solomon, help us!
No! Let him go! Listen to me! Don't you hurt him, I'm unarmed!
Solomon, help him!
Solomon, kill'em!
Silence Samuel!
Kill them all!
Listen, Samuel, be calm!
There's no need to do it, just let him go! Won't you?
Kill them!
Be quiet, Samuel!
You!I'm here...what is that you want now? I'll do what you need!
Kill me!
Can you?
No...I can not...I am...a man of peace! Don't you harm that boy!
This boy...this child has more heart ahead of you, he is the only man here?
No! No need to do...no!!!
Samuel!!!
Take them all!
Solomon, do something!
What is that you want from me? What is it?
Is this all I am to you? Then so I'll be it!
If I kill you, I am bound for hell!
It is a price I shall gladly pay!
Meredith!
Solomon, take her back! Oh, very well!
Take her back! Well, well... Surrender or not, take her back! Hear me, hear my last words, I know...
I know that if you save our child, your soul too will be saved You can save yourself for I know this will be true
Swear it! Swear... I'll swear, we'll swear William, I will find her!
Find her...go!
Please, have you seen this girl? Come on, look this... Please, have you seen this girl?
Take a look at here, have you seen this girl? No, she could be everywhere... Look at this, have you seen this girl? Please don't hurt me, I just want to go...
Forgive me, child, forgive me...go, go, go...
Come on... Don't hurt us...what do you want?
That's your only chance, there's no other choice...slavery or death... We have no other way out...
Lord will not save us from this! We'll find a way out, take my hand, we'll find the strenght to survive at this!
Quiet!
Dear God!
Dear God, hear my prayer, I have failed, I can not find her, I am lost and I need your light To help me find my way...
Forgive me Father! In such times we are living!
I was here only for some refuge and a home to pray...
Praise God in his sanctuary, praise him in firmaments of his Power!
I've seen such terrible things...
So this is your home? I need no other house, I have no other house!
You come from afar? Three days of hard ride bought me here
But where "here"is I know not!
It is the borderland of Somerset and Devonshire
My home, too
Sad homecoming for you
Those raiders have been here?
Those black-eyed dogs of Malachi...
Oh yeah, they passed through there
Now they all sway over all the lands from the west to here
And I should arrive to the west, too
And you should find your death, Mr!
Who is this Malachi?
He's a servant of the Devil, a sorcerer, no one ever sees him... He hides away in his castle and sends that death-masked warrior to do his will His army makes slaves of the weak and soldiers of the strong
But God will save the faithful
Here, I have read...I've...I've read...
In the end of days...
Truly believe that?
We shall think that the light of Christ have been banished horny about to the pity of the cursed land
I think Christ and all his angels have been asleep... Once we are left to suffer!
I don't mind your blasphemy! Can only be if God would desire it
Now can't it be right, that there is the evil left here... What...what only have to protect ourselves and why? Fight or faith?
It's written in the Scriptures...
Shhh! What's that? There is something outside...
No one outside, there is no evil out there...
The evil is already here...
What do you mean?
See here...
Satan has dishearted all them, may you see through and wit...
Oh God... What was I to do?
Destroy all of them! I can not destroy, they were men and women once, people I knew! Malachi's curse and changes no falls to that, this is my flock, I keep them, care for them...and feed them...
Feed them? And...what do you feed them?
Flesh!
I delivery you to these satanic creatures For the destruction of your flesh... And your spirit to meet faith...God have mercy of your soul!
Pray for thee also!
I remember this one, mates, he's not a fighter! Remember?
What are you doing here, puritan?
Here's what...to clear all of this evil of you! You should try!
Malachi's Will own all these lands now, it should be enough There's no point in your fighting! All that remains for you is fight! But you don't do that! Do it?
Well, you'll know I may just have changed my mind about that!
No! What are you doing? No! No!
This is your last chance to live! Have you seen her? I don't know her!
Take a last hard look! This is your last chance to save your pitiful life! What? I've seen her...
Where have you seen her? ...dead!
Liar! Don't lie to me! No! How would I lie? I want to live!
Don't lie! Don't lie! Liar! I don't lie, she's dead, dead! She's not dead!
Keep that, leave it all! Thank you, Sir!
Are you sure? It is him, I knew him!
Sir!
Captain Kane! I'm Henry Telford. Do you remember me?
Captain Kane!
I was a member on the "Tersule" when you were captain! My name is Telford, do you remember?
It's not him! It is him, it's Kane!
He will lead us, believe me! Where to lead us, in another tavern? Look at him!
My friend here says that you are the greatest warrior he ever saw! I don't believe it!
You shouldn't!
I know what you can do captain, I've seen it!
Long and distant time, is that now all that I am!
I lost my soul!
He will not come with us, leave! No! Captain Kane, we need a leader, we have to fight back!
...and fight back!
What it was...now I have lost!...and I... I have to pay...I can not come back again...I can not...
Mercy...mercy, please!
This is the fate of those who would fight Malachi!
Please have mercy! There will be no Mercy!
This man has not saved you! He is defeated! Crucify him, and bring fire to the town!
No, no! Solomon! Captain Kane! Solomon! Do hear me?
Solomon! Captain Kane! Solomon! Meredith! Can you hear me?
Meredith! Solomon! Meredith!
God, give me strength!
Captain Kane!
Another twenty in the Rhone Marche...they're becomin stronger! That's why we need Kane!
What can we do with him? We need him, whatever in the past may have been his sins... To change one Devil with another? It's foolish!
Earth, Fire, Stone and Water...
Keep your filthy pagan magic away from me!
This is my pagan magic that has healed you! There's more power here than in your Christian God! You'd better remember that!
I have done what you asked, his body is healed!
What do you see in our future?
Your captain will lead you into blood and darkness! Prepare for that!
What are you doing? You need to rest!
I'm leaving! Why? To start over again, she's still alive!
You're barely healed...and we'll come with you! Just wait!
How could you ask you to come with me? Nor I told I wanted it!
My lord, you may not want it, but we will! This man has promised us that you'll destroy this evil! And we all will fight with you!
Promised, have you? So you want us with you? Then it is, let us help you!
Malachi was priest and healer, But he sold his soul to the Devil for the power which now posesses...enslaves our people all accross the land... ...and the masked rider is the iron fist at command of his army...
...he hides his face behind his mask and possession in his touch... It's true, I've seen it!
If we kill him, Malachi will be vulnerable!
Easier to say than to do!
No, he will fall! You know where this Malachi is?
There is no secrecy, Aksmut castle!
No, no it can not be!
What is with that? You know it?
My father was the Lord of Askmut castle, I grew up there!
There's no Lord there now!
And I did not even know he died...and now...this must end!
All of you here, all of you here, take up your weapons!
No, no, wait! Oh, come on, you waited ten years, wait more if you want! We'll never get through the front gates! You forget I was born here, for I have no intention to get through the front gates!
Good God, my home! You lived here? Ahah... That's explains a lot!
You... Welcome home, Solomon Kane!
Telford! Keep their attention!
Kane, go in! Follow me!
Meredith!
Help us! Save us!
Hey!
You are free! Thank God!
Come on, old man, you are free! Well, I'll help you now...
I should try to loose these chains! Even if you do it, I'll stay!
What are you talking about, man, why? Because this once was my home!
Father?
Solomon?
I thought I had lost you forever!
No! You were still a boy when...
You will never break them, they are bound with black magic... ...and forged with metal!
How would I free you? No, you can't, Solomon, you can't!
I have carried such...such care for what that I did... I did not mean for Marcus to fall... I did not mean that he had to die...
He did not die, Solomon! If he had, this nightmare would never had began!
Dear God, he's alive! It's not for God's will that he survived!
What? I don't know what you mean...
He was terribly injured by the fall but he didn't die! And nor did he wake, I searched for priests that could help him, then... I brought the sorcerer here!
You? You brought Malachi here?
I offered him everything I had just to have Marcus back to here! And it succeded, Solomon, he used his mirror and his magic... And he brought Marcus back, but he was changed!
And his face so damaged by the fall he hid behind a mask... And he obeys only the will of the sorcerer!
No, he can not be my brother!
That creature is your brother, or what remains... And now Marcus infects all to follow him...
One thing you must do for me...
Father, just speak and it will be done!
We both have our sins to answer for... ...and I'm ready to answer for mine...now!
No!
You have to, 'cause I brought the sorcerer here... ...and there's not istant I'll be alive, I'll not remember it!
It will never let me breathe!
Thank to God we have you with us! This is here...this is all that we are left?
All here, one or two, a few there maybe, the rest I don't know!
Just stay there back!
Do hold steady now! This is you're foolin'!
Just a few more moments, as I stop him with one single blow!
Malachi! Malachi!
I'm here for you, isn't this what you want?
Come on!
Solomon! Solomon, no...it's a trap!
Longest road do the conqueror walks in the name of his devotion! Yet longest still is the journey home to the land of his fathers!
I've been waiting for you!
You are unworthy to sit upon my father's chair!
Your father was a child, a pathetic fool who made a pact with the Devil!
He betrayed you, your soul is damned!
Get up!
Are you still the coward loyal son?
Beware!
Malachi! Malachi! Malachi...you coward!
Meredith, you are right?
You came for me! I swore to William!
Solomon, no it's a trap! They have marked me so you woud have come!
Don't go! The Devil wants you!
The Devil condemned me so it's enough!
My God, Solomon!
Listen to me! You hear me Marcus? You do not have to do this!
No!
Listen to me!
Meredith, run!
Where is your master? Eh? Where is he? Where are you Malachi? Hide you in the shadows?
Why should I hide from you, I wanted you here!
Every step you took led you to here, Every pain you suffered was punishment for your sins, My master do have your soul!
See what the Devil have sent for you! This beast is here to drag you back to hell! Your soul is damned!
Oh, dear God!
Marcus! Our father is dead, you are Lord here now, Malachi has no control over you!
Marcus! Brother!
Solomon!
Rest in peace, brother!
It's time, only your innocent blood would release him!
Now you are free!
Kill him!
My God, only you can help me now!
Stop! Let her go!
You can have my soul!
Why would you risk everything, even your soul...to save her?
I made a promise!
I must keep it!
Solomon!
Thank God! It's gone!
Your father told me that if I'd save you my soul would be redeemed!
I have...and it is!
And the Devil's curse on me is no more!
The guards have fallen!
Father, I have kept my promise and Meredith has returned to her mother...
...and the evil is gone, Banished to the shadows along with the sorcerer that had cursed as all...
...but the evil is not so easily defeated, And I know I will have to fight it again...
I am a very different man now! Through all of my troubles, all the things I've seen And all the things I've done, I have found my propose!
There was a time when the world was plunged into darkness, A time of witchcraft and sorcery when no one stood against evil, That time is over!
