back there,

it points this way.

It was. It isn't anymore.

The sign is old.

Right. Well, um, I mean,

do you know of anywhere else

in town I could stay?

No.

Right.

Well, thanks.

You've, uh, you've been

a lot of help.

KATE:
This was meant to be

stress-free.

Meant to be a break

from all the other sh*t.

Sorry.

TOM:

No, that's fine.

God knows what he's doing.

[sighs]

Or who.

And he's sorry.

I know he is, but...

It's not enough, you know?

'Cause he did cheat,

and he messed up.

He was trying really hard.

The more he tries,

the more I hate him.

[sighs]

Oh, it just

makes me feel guilty

because he's trying so hard.

You know it's not good

to feel guilty now.

I know.

But I do.

I just can't forgive him.

[sighs] There's no way

I'm strong enough.

Oh, come on.

After everything

you've been through?

I've never met anyone stronger.

I'm not strong.

Yes, you are.

More than you know.

[]

Okay.

Change of plan.

You're going to have a drink.

I know I want one,

and you sure as f***ing

need one!

[giggles] Okay.

[sighs]

Did you find anything?

Tom?

[buzzing]

[]

[buzzing]

Tom?

No, no!

[struggling]

[screams]

No, no!

[screams]

[sobs]

I'm sorry, Kate.

I really am.

These must appear

very strange to you,

these death masks.

Tom, I'm scared...

and I don't want to be here.

Tom, I want to leave.

There's a lot of things

you don't understand

about our traditions.

Things that outsiders

would call pagan.

I want to leave.

- I won't say anything.

- It's all relative, I suppose.

I promise.

Some people

have lost their way.

I want to put this all

behind me.

They have lost sight

of what's important.

- I don't want to be a part...

- Family.

...of this anymore.

You're not just part of this.

You're the whole of it.

This is all about you.

Okay. Please, let me go.

Please.

IRENE:
There is no one

more important than you.

No one.

You've just forgotten.

Forgotten what?

IRENE:

Your role here.

You've seen it

in those pictures.

MAN:
Many people

would call it superstition...

But they don't know

what's coming.

We do.

And you do too.

You've seen it.

You were chosen

a long time ago.

You don't even know me.

I do.

I was there

the night of the crash.

[sighs] What are you

talking about?

Your uncle, he understood

what needed to be done.

That's why there was no way

out of the crash.

You knew they were

about to leave

and you wouldn't let them.

Your uncle sacrificed himself

so that you may return here.

But you have forgotten

everything.

[shouting]

This is insane!

Believe me, it's not.

[scream]

We are the messengers.

You have the mark.

You'll pretend

that you haven't it,

but I know that you do.

Unfortunately, you have

forgotten its significance.

You have forgotten your part.

That is why

Allyn went to your room.

He was a true believer.

He did what needed to be done.

MAN:
He was ready

to lay down his life

to bring that part of you out.

If you hadn't run away,

you'd have welcomed this.

You'd have been willing.

You'd have been revered

like all those before you.

But that's just not

going to happen, is it?

I'm sorry.

This is not going to be

pleasant for you.

[screams loudly]

Somebody!

[sobs]

[choking]

[screams]

- Hello.

- Oh, hi there.

Um, um...

Come in.

Come in, come in!

Okay. Sure.

Thanks.

So, how might I help you?

Well, um, yeah.

I was wondering

if you could help me.

Actually, I'm looking

for my wife Kate.

Kate Reynolds.

I think she stopped by here.

Kate Reynolds?

Sorry, that name

doesn't sound familiar.

I mean, it's just... we...

we got this letter from you

about the passing

of her uncle's estate.

Oh! [stammering]

Yes.

Yes, this lady called in,

but I wouldn't know

where she is now.

Oh, well, do you think she

might be at her uncle's place?

Oh, no.

She wouldn't be there.

Sure, I have the keys,

and she wouldn't be there.

All the same, do you think

I could grab the address?

It's just that

I'd like to visit...

I'm sorry. I can't give out

that kind of information.

But I'm her husband.

[sighs] All the same.

I mean, I... I could just

look it up, you know.

Well, if you think

it might help.

No, it really would help

if you...

if you could just give me

the address.

Look, perhaps you should

ring her up.

Maybe that might be

the right thing to do.

Yes. She's not

picking up her phone.

Ah! Well, sorry sir.

I can't help you.

Well, is there no one who's

at least seen her arrive and...

- Mr. Reynolds.

- Hello.

My name is

Superintendent Garrett,

and I'm in charge of the local

police force around here.

I'm sorry to have to tell you

that your wife has been involved

in an incident

which has resulted in the death

of a young man in the village.

I'm sorry, what?

It would appear that Ms. Duffy

has fled the community.

No, no. There must be

some sort of mistake.

My wife's name is Reynolds.

No, no. I'm afraid

there is no mistake,

and I have to ask you

if you have any knowledge

of her whereabouts.

Well, no, I don't know

where Kate is.

That's the thing.

I'm here looking for her.

She's not picking up her phone

or anything...

Has there been anything

going on between you

that could have resulted

in this outburst?

Excuse me?

Has there been anything

going on between you

that could have resulted

in this outburst?

- An affair maybe?

- Look, I...

I don't know who you are

or what you...

What the...?

Where did you um...

how did you get...

What the f*** is going on here?

Steven!

Welcome to Brackenmore.

How are you doing?

Kate, look at me.

Do I look dead inside to you?

You're my sister.

I've waited to see you

my whole life.

I never asked for us

to be separated.

All I ever wanted

was for us to be family again.

I know none of this makes

any sense to you, I know.

I really am sorry for this.

[door opens]

[heavy breathing]

No!

No, no, no, no!

[shouting] Don't do this!

You want me, take me,

but please leave him

out of this.

I'll be whoever

you need me to be.

Just please leave him alone!

[sobs]

Just please leave him alone.

[sobs] No!

I wish I didn't

have to do this, Kate.

[sobs] Please don't!

Please don't do this!

You don't have to do this!

You... you're the one

that's in control.

Tom, Tom!

No!

[scream]

No!

[scream]

Tom!

[stiffled screams]

[sobs] I love you so much!

[stiffled]

F*** you! F*** you!

[sobs] I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

- Please!

- [stiffled] F*** you!

[silent screams]

[mouthing]

I'm so sorry!

MAN:

We are gathered here,

a desperate lot,

with nowhere else to turn.

We stand on the precipice

of a new world.

She will bring new life.

She will bring new prosperity

and protection

in a world that is forgotten.

When we were chosen

for this path,

chosen long before

you and I were born,

in the days of the old gods.

And we must never forget

what we have sacrificed

to usher in this new world.

I am not unaware

of where these actions

may take me after I die,
