Solomon Kane Page #4

Synopsis: Once a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting Spaniards in Africa, Solomon met the Devil's Reaper and discovered he was bound for hell. Barely escaping, he soon renounced violence to atone for his past sins, seeking out redemption in a life of peace. That is until the followers of sorcerer Malachi kidnap a Puritan girl, Meredith Crowthorn, and brutally slaughter her family before his very eyes, forcing Solomon to take up arms and return to his violent ways once more to rescue her.

You can't, Solomon, don't try now.

My Father...

...I have carried such...

...such guilt for what I did.

I did not mean for Marcus to fall.

I did not mean for him to die.

He did not die, Solomon.

If he had, this nightmare

would never have begun.

He did not...?

Thank God he is alive.

It was not through God's will

that he survived.

Well, what do you mean?

Well...

...he was terribly injured

by the all but he didn't die.

But nor did he wake.

No surgeons or priests could help, so...

...I brought the sorcerer here.

- You?

- Yeah.

You brought Malachi here?

I offered him everything I had.

Just to bring Marcus back to me.

Everything.

And he succeeded, Solomon.

With his mirrors and magic...

...he reached into the darkness

and brought Marcus back. But...

...he was changed.

And his face,

so damaged by the fall...

...he hid behind a mask...

...and obeyed only the will of the sorcerer.

No, he cannot be my brother.

That creature is your brother.

Or what remains.

And now Marcus infects

those who follow him.

One thing you must do for me.

Father, just ask and it shall be done.

We both have our sins to answer for.

And I'm ready to answer for mine...

...now.

No.

You have to.

Because I brought the sorcerer here.

And as long as I'm alive he will remain.

He will never let me die.

Bring it here.

Kane!

Through here!

Kane, for God's sake, help us!

Is this it?

Is this all you have left?

Fletcher, McNess, Hawkstone, maybe.

The rest I don't know.

Just keep them back.

You hold steady now.

This is your folly.

Just a few more moments.

I think I can stop this

with a single blow.

Malachi?

Malachi!

I'm here for you.

Isn't this what you want?

Come on.

Solomon!

Solomon, no, it's a trap!

Long is the road that the pilgrim walks

in the name of his devotion.

Yet longer still is the journey home

to the land of his fathers.

I've been waiting for you.

You are unfit to sit upon

my father's hair.

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 good, loyal son?

Malachi?

Malachi!

Malachi, you coward!

Meredith, are you all right?

You came for me.

I swore I would.

Solomon, no, it's a trap!

They only marked me so that

you would come.

No, stop!

The Devil wants you.

The Devil can take me soon enough.

Oh God, Solomon!

Brother, listen to me.

If you can hear me, Marcus,

you do not have to do this.

No!

Listen to me!

Meredith, run!

Where is your master?

Where is he?

Where are you, Malachi?

Hiding in the shadows?

Why should I hide from you?

I want you here.

Every step you took

led you to here.

Every pain you suffered was

punishment for your sins.

My master will have your soul!

See what the Devil

has sent to claim you.

This beast will not fail 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!

No!

Brother, stop! Brother!

Solomon!

Rest in peace, brother.

It's time. Only your

innocent blood will release him.

Now you are free!

Get him!

My God.

Only you can help me now.

Stop!

Let her go.

You can have my soul.

Why would you risk everything,

even our soul...

...to save her?

I made a promise.

I must keep it.

Solomon.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank God.

It's gone.

Your father told me...

...that if I saved you...

...my soul will be redeemed.

I have.

And it is.

And the Devil's claim on me

is no more.

The guards have fallen.

Father...

...I have kept my promise and

Meredith is returned to her mother.

The demon is gone.

Banished to the shadows along

with the sorcerer who had cursed us all.

But evil is not so easily defeated...

...and I know I will have to fight again.

I am a very different man now.

Through all of my travels,

all the things I've seen and all I've done...

...I have found my purpose.

There was a time when the world was

plunging into darkness.

A time of witchcraft and sorcery,

when no-one stood against evil.

That time...

...is over.
