Solomon Kane
There was a time when the world was
plunging into darkness and chaos.
A time of witchcraft and sorcery.
A time when no-one stood against evil.
Fire!
Yes?
Where is the throne room?
No?
Good lad. Good lad.
Now...
...let not one of these
putrid heathens live.
There's something in here with us.
Silence, you dogs.
Hold steady!
Captain, there's devilry here,
I knew it.
I said, "hold steady".
I am the only devil here!
Now...
...follow me!
Here it is, boys!
I've found it.
Malthus!
Solomon.
Solomon.
Killer.
Solomon.
What... are you?
I am the Devil's Reaper.
I am here to claim you,
Solomon Kane.
Your deal is done.
What deal?
I made no deal.
There was a deal...
...and your soul is the price.
Your life of murder...
...and greed is over.
You cannot take my soul.
Bow your head before me.
The Devil will have his due.
No!
You can tell your master
that I am not yet ready for Hell.
The Lord protects me.
Fool! He has abandoned you.
On your knees.
Never!
You'll never take my soul!
Take his soul.
Never!
Your soul is damned!
Solomon?
Who's the novice?
This is Brother Thomas.
He joined us only a few days ago.
Those marks, do they...
- really protect you from Satan?
Mind what you name
in this holy place.
I would like to speak
with Solomon alone.
Once again we heard
your cries at matins.
My dreams.
You would do well to listen to
what your dreams tell you.
I do.
My dreams tell me only
that I am damned.
God protects His own.
I am not one of His own...
...am I?
My enemies are...
...are ever watchful of me.
But this place...
...this place and these prayers...
...symbols...
...they are all that hide me
from its gaze.
Solomon...
...these months you've been here...
...l've felt a shadow growing over us.
These are dark times.
I prayed for guidance...
and I was answered.
Solomon... you must leave us.
Why? I...
...I live here in solitude.
I do no harm.
I've renounced my evil ways,
my power.
I'm learning...
learning to be a man of peace.
I know you are, but your future
is not here with us.
How could you do this to me?
I have given all my wealth to the Church.
We're grateful for your generosity,
but you must understand...
No. Father.
Do not... do not make me beg.
This place is a...
is a sanctuary to me.
Where would you have me go?
You must go home.
Home?
You're of noble birth...
...you have lands in the west,
you must return to your inheritance.
Solomon...
Nor can you remain.
I was told in my dreams
he was to be sent from here.
I listen to what I'm told.
Does Kane know his purpose?
Every man must discover
his own destiny.
Kane must find his purpose.
There are many paths to redemption.
Not all of them peaceful.
Pilgrim!
Offer you a ride?
Thanks, friend, but no.
Well, the road ahead should
not be travelled alone.
Again, I'll thank you
for your offer.
I'll be walking.
As you wish.
God be with you.
And with you too, sir.
Ma'am.
- He'll hear us.
- I don't care.
Let him hear me.
Move and you die.
I don't want any trouble.
Well, that's too bad.
Because you've already got it!
Let's have a look.
Nothing worth stealing.
Nothing? You got nothing?
- Are you a priest?
- Just take what you want.
Oh, don't you worry,
pilgrim, we will.
Stay still.
Look at this.
These are magical symbols.
I say he's a sorcerer.
What shall we do with you, eh?
Shall we burn you as a witch?
Burn him! Burn him!
There's murder
in your eyes, traveller.
Would you kill me? Eh?
Huh? Would you?
No.
What?
You won't kill the man
who steals from you?!
I have renounced violence.
Well, that's a shame
because we haven't.
You will do as I say, Solomon.
Don't forget your place.
You are the second son only.
Marcus is my heir.
He will be master of these
lands on my death.
But, Father,
Marcus is a brute and a bully!
You will take holy orders and
join the Church as I command.
But I do not want to be a priest.
What you want is of no importance.
Father Simnal is here to
take you to the abbey.
I won't go.
If you defy me,
you will have nothing.
I will cut you off.
You will be a landless vagrant.
Is that what you want?
Walk out now and
you may never return.
Do not defy me!
Be calm.
Be calm, sir.
Be calm, you are safe.
He's awake.
Father!
Father, that man, he's awake.
Here... take a drink
of water if you can.
Careful. Careful.
Meredith.
His fever has broken, Father.
Thank the Lord, sir.
You will be well.
My name is Crowthorn.
William Crowthorn.
My daughter Meredith
has been tending you.
The good Lord must be
watching over you, sir.
He guided us to your rescue.
Edward, pull over.
We'll find a place to make
camp for the night.
Shall I put these down here, Mother?
Yes, thank you, Meredith.
Step lively, Meredith.
Samuel.
Water the horses.
Why me?
Your older brother
has given you a task.
See you set to it.
Master Kane.
You should be resting.
I can hardly repay
your hospitality.
...with idleness, Ma'am.
Give me a few moments to clean up,
I'll come and help you as I can.
You've regained your appetite,
Master Kane.
It's a fine meal,
Mistress Crowthorn.
My Katherine can make
anything taste good.
Leather boots and nettles last Sunday.
It certainly was not!
Tasted like it.
William tells us you were
Captain of a ship.
Yeah.
That I was.
Did you fight the Spanish?
I did.
Who else?
Seem to have fought
everyone at some time.
I've had many masters.
Once voyaged with Admiral Drake.
Admiral Drake!
That did not end well.
Must have been so exciting.
Seeing the world and
learning new things.
Why do you think
a life of violence
and bloodshed is
so admirable, Meredith?
You know that's not what I meant.
Why do you always argue with me?
Because you need to learn what to...
- I fought in the Queen's Army once.
- Yeah?
Before I found my faith.
Taking another man's life,
that's not an easy thing to do,
don't you agree?
I must confess, Mr Crowthorn...
...I was never more at home
than I was in battle.
Killing... came easily to me.
If you defy me,
you will have nothing.
Walk out now and
you may never return.
Do not defy me!
Stop!
Please!
- Please, help me! No!
- Shut up!
Stop!
Marcus, what are you doing?
Solomon, I thought you'd run away.
Fleeing the life of a holy man.
- Solomon, he tried to...
- Quiet!
- I gave you no leave to speak!
- Sarah, run!
This is not your concern,
little brother.
Since you're going away,
here's something to remember me by.
Come here and look at this!
I am the first-born!
All this will be mine and
you'll have nothing!
Take your bags and leave this land.
Marcus!
Friend. Friend.
Please, sit down. Join me.
Thank you.
How are you feeling?
Aches, bruises. Nothing.
Your daughter has a healer's gift.
She does indeed.
Just like her mother.
Two most beautiful women
