Previously on Chapelwaite...
Faith, no, no!
Behold! This fraud!
The madness suffered by every Boone
is connected to this book.
I had a vision when I opened it.
Eternal night.
The undead rule,
and man is meat.
It's all death in this book.
It's the end of everything.
You said the only way to be rid of your curse
was to return it to the undead.
What?
It's with Mary Dennison.
She's restrained in the cellar.
She's one of them now.
Phillip and Stephen
will come for this book tonight.
We have to keep them out of the house.
We need planks. And paint.
Give us the book!
- Heave!
Father!
No!
We will go to Chapelwaite
and take what is ours.
Jakub is out there.
With how many, I can't say.
But we have our plan to defend the house.
And everyone knows their positions.
We have enough wood
to cover any windows or doors that get breached.
Constable, how are you feeling?
Well enough to see daylight.
Good. It's on you to keep them off the barn.
We cannot allow them to find the tunnel into the walls.
If they do, we'll start to lose the house.
In that event, we'll seal the last barricade
and constrict our perimeter to the dining room and kitchen.
If we can't hold there, then...
then we retreat to the cellar as one,
make our final stand.
Better we go there now.
That would give us no chance to confront our enemy,
nowhere to go.
They'd breach the cellar door,
burn us out.
We wouldn't last the hour.
I have experience
defending ships against marauders.
With proper fortification, five can hold 50.
We have that.
Tonight will reveal much about ourselves.
There will be times when you lose heart,
and you want to quit.
Do not.
Minister, would you say a prayer?
I think it might do us all some good.
Better say one for yourselves.
I'll say one.
The Lord is my refuge and fortress;
my God in Him I will trust.
No evil shall befall you,
nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
for He shall give His angels charge upon you,
to keep you in your ways.
- Amen. - Amen.
Anything?
Nothing yet.
What do you think they're waiting for?
Well, I imagine they're trying to formulate their own plan.
If they are, we'll be ready for them.
I'm proud of you.
Both of you.
You've come far from the little deck rats
I ferried around the world.
You're a good boy.
I'll see us through this.
George...
You need to get back upstairs.
I want to check on Mary.
Not too long now.
George, I'm your wife.
How can you keep me bound like a wild animal?
Phillip Boone stole my wife from me.
That's not true.
I'm different only because I know death.
I've been there... and returned.
But we all die one day.
So... am I really so different?
The dead should not walk the earth.
But we do.
We were to spend eternity together...
...in Heaven.
There is no Heaven.
You have faith, but I've been there.
There is life, and there is nothing.
We've been told lies.
That wound in your stomach is deep.
I can smell it.
Soon you'll be nothing, George.
Not alone.
Not a spirit.
Just mud and bone.
But I'll be alive.
No, no. I have to go upstairs.
I'm hungry.
It's more than hunger.
It burns, George.
If you love me, you'll feed me.
Come close. No need to cut again.
No, I need my strength.
They don't care about you.
You're dying, George.
I can save you.
We can be together.
Drink from me.
How well do you know Dennison?
I've known him my whole life.
Would you vouch for his character?
In what regard?
I saw him feeding Mary.
Was he feeding on her?
No. But when faced with one's own mortality...
who knows what desperate men may do?
We can't risk him becoming like Mary.
We won't.
I'll handle it.
Your prayer was much needed for morale.
- Thank you. - It's funny.
God is most of what I think about now.
All religions claim that their god
to be the one and only.
And now these vampires return from the grave
and tell us their god is the one true God.
So who are we to believe? Whose version of God is real?
Whichever god has the strongest army at the moment
is the most real.
So the winner tonight chooses the next God?
The winner in all wars decides the truth...
God included.
And that's it?
I always thought of God as love.
Simple.
I prefer your interpretation to others.
Once this is over,
my mother and I will be moving to New York.
I made a promise to myself
that I would get her out of this town.
That's the plan, at least.
Might you build ships there?
We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.
Why not?
Well, I'll still have the book.
- The curse will follow. - Charles, please.
Just for one moment...
All clear, Martin?
Nothing here.
Mind the front as well.
The fires before us come for me.
Don't fool yourself, Minister.
They're here for all of us.
I understand all you've lost,
but isn't that when we lean on God the most?
For some.
But when Phillip Boone's hand was around my throat,
his grip was infinite...
and bottomless.
It was the death of everything.
I realized that... that "nothing" is what I deserve.
- That's not true. - It is, Rebecca.
You of all people know that I am a fraud.
You and your mother.
We never thought of you as a fraud.
Just another flawed man.
The kind that God favors now and then.
The kind who needs Him most.
Isn't that what you always used to preach?
Empty words.
You don't need faith to fight, Minister,
but you do need to fight.
If not for yourself, then for something else.
May I remind you that there are children in this house,
and they deserve more than the next few hours to live.
How's the wound?
I'll make the night,
if that's what you're worried about.
I am.
I want you to live.
But there are conditions worse than death.
Mary was 12 years old when we first met.
And the prettiest thing I have ever seen.
I'm sure she was.
We married four years later.
I never wanted to be a day without her.
For me there was never any other,
nor will there ever be.
Must be...
...must be tempting to want to love someone forever.
I love my daughter Loa.
I always will.
But...
I don't believe these vampires love.
I've seen where their life leads, Jerusalem's Lot.
No love remains.
Our Loa and Mary are gone.
Mr. Boone.
I will fight for you and for that book.
But don't tell me how to handle my wife.
I won't mention it again.
But if I see you down there alone with her--
I guess we'll be keeping an eye on each other, then.
You know, I saved Phillip Boone.
I was 17 years old,
and I saved his life.
And your father's.
What are you talking about?
The town knew
that your grandmother Silence had gone mad.
She hadn't been seen in weeks.
There was... concern for the children.
So...
I rode up here,
found Silence hanging herself...
and the two boys from that elm tree down there.
I cut Phillip and your father down,
but Silence, she... she fought me off.
Imagine if I hadn't saved those two boys?
No Boone curse.
I'd still have Mary,
and Phillip Boone would be dead.
Really dead.
And you...
you would have never been born.
Consider that the next time you walk up
behind me with a gun.
Keep watch here.
Protect the barn at all costs.
What are you up to?
What is that?
The end of the road.
Back to your post.
Sweet Jesus.
He's moving! Stay vigilant!
My God.
He means to intimidate.
Charles, I never want to become like him.
Then cry out if you see anything.
What is it?
It's the man Father told us about.
Shoot him.
It won't work. We have to wait.
It's okay. He can't get in.
That thing is out there.
Is it the devil?
You give him too much credit, son.
He was a man; now he's less.
He's moving to the front.
The crosses held.
Doesn't matter if you or I believe
in the cross, Martin, as long as they do.
Jakub will send his acolytes now.
They'll try to find ways in.
They're mortal.
Make them pay.
Here they come!
Charles!
Two ran around back.
When you see them, shoot!
Even if just to ward them off.
If they get in, the undead are next.
- Did you get 'em? - I don't think so.
It's hard to see. Reload.
There's one coming to the front!
I can see you.
You're the minister.
I knew Faith.
She was our sister.
Go away.
Don't make me shoot you.
I was there when she died.
It was terrible.
She begged for her life.
We just kept stabbing her.
She wouldn't stop crying.
Don't you mock her.
- Who are you talking to? - Faith's minister.
- Oh, be gone, you sonofabitch.
Minister, you don't have to end up like Faith.
Give Jakub the book.
Our god doesn't care that you're an adulterer.
Lies mean nothing to him.
He makes no judgment.
He welcomes the sinner.
You can fornicate
with as many women as you want.
You're all going to die in there if you don't.
Why fight for a god who doesn't care about you?
The Worm is so much stronger and wiser.
Give Jakub the book.
Save them all.
What did you do to my child?
Your child?
My son. Where is he?
It's back with its father,
where it belongs.
- What do you mean?
Faith never told you the truth about her child.
It wasn't yours.
The baby was Jakub's.
She was his favorite.
Every scar you kissed was Jakub's bite.
You threw your life away for Jakub's whore.
Give us the book, Minister.
Rebecca?
- Are you all right? - The window.
Did I shoot one?
You did.
Reload. Reload now.
- We can stop this. - What are you doing here?
Give 'em the damn book.
If our god is a falsehood, then so is theirs.
- Get back to your post! - They cannot raise a god
- if none exist! - Do not test me!
Now go back to the living room!
Charles, what if he...
I'll kill him myself.
Shit. You stay here.
What was it?
I think they're trying to breach this floor.
Back upstairs!
I have this.
Shit.
Rebecca!
Honor told me you might need some help.
Ah, I'm all right now.
Is anyone out there?
- Not right now. - Rebecca.
Tane.
I think one of them's in the house.
There's a broken window upstairs.
I searched all the bedrooms, found nothing.
Just move with caution.
I'm gonna search the rest of the house.
Tane, come with me.
- If anyone is in here... - I know what to do.
You let them have it.
It's quiet outside. Do you think they've given up?
No. One may be inside.
- I've told the others. - A vampire?
Whatever it is, I'll find it.
Tane, you listen to me now.
You be your sister's eyes while her back is turned.
- All right? - We'll be careful.
Why is this door open?
Minister Burroughs is down there.
He said he needed to check on Mary.
What are you doing here?
I don't understand this world anymore.
Did you intend to take the book?
Everything I thought I was is gone.
Did you mean to take the book?
I did.
What stopped you?
That thing...
...in the tub.
Put the gun down.
Put it down.
I know your kind.
Your whole life,
you run to God for every hardship
because "God provides."
You credit God with every victory,
even if you've done the work and sweat yourself.
You blame every defeat on God's will,
especially when the failure
is from your own ignorance or weakness.
Believe or don't believe, I don't care.
But stand up and be a man.
Or remain still and I will end it now,
so I can defend my family.
Do it.
Damn you, what's it going to be?
I wanna go back upstairs.
Whatever they are...
wherever they're from,
we can't let them win.
Minister!
Stop!
Don't! Don't! Stop!
- What happened? - She's in the tunnels!
One of them! She took the boards off!
Dammit! Tell Dennison to watch the barn!
Shit!
- Constable! - What is it?
One of them got into the tunnels.
She's headed for the barn.
Oh no.
- Aw, shit. - They'll find the tunnel.
They're in the barn!
We couldn't stop them.
George, start barricading the dining room with Burroughs.
We'll pull back and fight them there.
Rebecca, get back to the parlor, keep watch.
I'll come for you there.
- George, rest.
I'll do this.
Tell Father.
I can hear them.
They're in.
Fall back to the dining room.
It's to create confusion.
Go, go, go!
Close it! Close the barrier!
They're everywhere!
You can't leave the kitchen!
- Honor! - I'll go with her.
Where's Tane?
He's not with you?
I sent him to get you when I heard people in the walls.
They're on the stairs.
I'll find him! Go!
Tane.
Come with me.
Tane? Now.
Are you gonna hurt me?
No.
But they will.
I'm gonna have to find my boy!
- Close the barricade behind me. - Okay.
Don't do it.
I need to find my son.
No, they're trying to draw you out.
Stick with the plan.
Oh, no.
No.
I'm coming for you, demon.
I'll have your head.
Oh, no!
They're in the cellar! They've got the book!
Father!
Stay back! Don't move!
It can't be.
Is it really you?
Step aside!
- Father!
Honor, Honor, Honor.
- It's all right.
Rebecca, take this downstairs.
Go! Help Dennison.
Honor, are you all right?
- I am. - Come, help me with this.
Help me with this. Block the door.
Tane?
I don't know.
Secure this.
You're all going to die here.
There's no escape.
Tane?
Is Tane down here?
I don't think so.
I'm coming.
Charles.
What are we doing?
Fire at will.
Charles. You need to see this.
No.
You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch.
Father! Father!
Honor?
Father!
- Son!
Ah! I can't hold it! Ah!
They're coming over the barricade!
Into the cellar!
Everyone! Now!
Come say your prayers. Say your prayers.
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in hearts of all that love me.
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in mouth of friend...
They're comin' through!
Christ behind me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Hold back, Minister!
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
- They're coming through! - Get ready!
Charles!
What's happening?
They're leaving.
Why?
Why would they do that?
I had to do it, Father.
She said it would make them stop.
What?
Tane, who said that?
Make what stop?
Loa.
I gave her the book.
Son... No!
No! No!
It was the only way to stop them!
She wanted to save us! I'm sorry!
Loa!
