THE FACE OF DEATH.

THE REAPER,

SHE DID THIS!

SHE DID ALL OF THIS!

- ENOUGH.

YOU ARE SAFE.

- YOU.

YOU TURKS.

YOU TURKS BROUGHT IT HERE.

- I SAID YOU ARE SAFE.

- WHAT'S GOING ON?

- A SURVIVOR.

- A KNIGHT?

A KNIGHT HAS COME

TO DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

SAVE US, SIR.

SAVE OUR SOULS.

- SHH.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

- MY LADY.

SIMON, MY LADY.

- AND WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

- I WAS A FIGHTER.

1 OF 100 MEN ON OUR WAY

TO SEEK NEW LIFE IN JERUSALEM.

THEN--THEN THE WAR ENDED,

BUT WE CONTINUED.

CONTINUED TO FIND THAT NEW LIFE

IN THE HOLY LANDS.

WE ARRIVED AHEAD OF--

AHEAD OF TALES ABOU THAT DEMON WHO--

WHO FED FROM THE DEAD

OF THE CRUSADES:

AS IT WAS SEARCHING

FOR SOMETHING.

IT HUNTED US FOR SPORT.

HUNDREDS OF OUR MEN.

MANY MORE FROM THE TOWN

WERE ALL CUT DOWN.

OUR STEEL IS USELESS!

- YOU SAY IT HUNTED

FOR SPORT?

- IT TORMENTED ITS VICTIMS

LIKE A CAT WOULD.

IT CHASED THEM DOWN BEFORE

SLAUGHTERING THEM.

IT ENJOYED THE SLAYING.

- IF HUNDREDS OF WARRIORS COULD

NOT STOP THIS MONSTER,

THEN WHAT CHANCE HAVE WE?

- WE NEED A MIRACLE.

- I KNOW WE CAN DO THIS.

WE JUST NEED TIME.

- TIME?

THERE IS NO TIME.

- BUT...WE HAD WEAPONS

TO KILL IT.

THOUGH WE HAD NO TIME

TO DEPLOY THEM.

- WEAPONS?

WHAT WEAPONS?

- HERE.

COME.

LOOK HERE.

SEE?

SEE?

WE HAD THE WEAPONS

TO KILL THE BEAST.

- PERHAPS NOW WE CAN MAKE

A STAND.

- BUT STEEL WILL NOT EVEN

SCRATCH ITS HIDE.

[distant cry]

- SIMON?

- NEVER!

[grunts]

- [screams]

[grunts]

- [sobbing]

TWO DIED TO KILL ONE MAN.

WHAT CHANCE HAVE WE AGAINS THE DEMON NOW?

WE SHOULD RUN.

- WE TRIED THAT.

- WELL, THEN WE TRY HARDER.

AND IF THERE IS A GOD,

THEN WE PRAY:

THAT HE SAVES US.

- "IF"?

YOU'VE FOUND FAITH ONLY

TO LOSE IT NOW?

- THOSE WEAPONS ARE NOT GOING

TO BE POWERFUL ENOUGH,

AND THEY WERE OUR ONLY HOPE.

- NO.

THERE IS ANOTHER.

WHAT BETTER WEAPON THAN

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST?

- AND IF THIS DOESN'T WORK?

- [sighs]

THEN WE NEED SOMETHING

TO BUY US SOME TIME.

THE BEAST CAN APPEAR

WHEREVER WE ARE.

IT'LL COME HERE.

WHEN IT REACHES HERE,

WE FIRE.

CAN'T MISS AT THAT RANGE.

- WHAT WAS IT LIKE,

JERUSALEM?

- IT WAS LIKE THIS.

WAR TORN.

FRIGHTENING.

THAT'S WHEN THE DREAMS STARTED.

- DREAMS?

- AHH, DREAMS OF BATTLE.

FIGHTING.

ALWAYS VERY VIVID.

THEN WHEN WE GOT HERE

AND FOUND THE RELIC...

I HAD DREAMS OF THE DEMON.

- YOU HAD PREMONITIONS?

- I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE THAT'S HOW

THE DEMON KNEW:

WE WERE TAKING THE RELIC

OUT OF THE HOLY LAND.

IT WAS USING ME.

NOW I JUST DREAM OF RETURNING

TO MY LAND:

AND FINDING SOMEONE

TO SHARE IT WITH ME.

- AND INSTEAD

YOU MET AN INDENTURED SLAVE.

- NO.

I MET AT WOMAN WHO JUST DIDN' KNOW SHE WAS FREE.

[demon roars]

- [gasps]

IT'S COMING.

WHERE IS IT?

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

[demon roars]

- RUN!

RUN!

[demon roars]

[demon screams]

GO!

[demon roars]

[demon roars]

FIRE!

[demon roars and screams]

THE RELIC!

THROW ME THE RELIC!

[sighs]

WE DID IT.

[tense orchestral music]
