Where the Devil Hides Page #4

---

it kind of sticks.

If you told your father everything,

what do you think he would do?

I think he would raid the commune.

He wants to shut it down.

You don't have to go back there.

You found your mother. You can... stay.

I wear a poker face so well

That even Mother couldn't tell

And my baby's so vain

- She is almost a mirror

- Are you sure?

And the sound of her name

Sends a permanent shiver

Down my spine

Down my spine...

- You did what?

- I thought they'd be safer here.

Bringing them here like this?

I'm in the middle of an investigation.

- What was I supposed to do?

- Stay away from them, that's what.

They're witnesses, Trevor,

and I'm bringing them in.

Where are they?

I don't know.

Mary, I don't understand.

We weren't safe there.

As angry as I am at my father

and as much as I detest Rebekah,

we still have brothers and sisters here.

And you think we'll be safe there?

Mary, I can't go back there.

My father will protect us.

He did so long ago when we were born,

and he will do so again.

I'll see to it.

Come on.

Mary, thank goodness you're alive.

Are you all right?

- I'm fine.

- Where were you?

It does not concern you.

Father, for all the deceits

I may have foisted upon you,

yours to me remains the greatest.

But I will forgive you because

the Bible tells me to do so.

And now you shall do the same for me.

- No.

- Mary...

- Father...

- Get out.

By harboring this girl,

we could all be shunned.

Ruth is my friend,

and we will not turn our backs upon her.

You will listen to my word!

I speak for both of us!

Whenever you stand praying, forgive.

If you have anything

against anyone, forgive,

because your Father who sits in Heaven

forgives your transgressions.

And if you cannot forgive,

neither will the Almighty.

If you're truly sworn to the Bible,

now's the time to start acting like it.

You'll stay up here for the night.

Make sure you don't leave the room.

What?

I've just never heard anybody

talk to their father the way you did.

Tomorrow's our 18th birthday, Ruth.

We're not kids anymore.

If you choose to wake with the Devil,

so be it.

But my children and I will not.

If you utter one word

of their presence here...

Children.

Ruth?

Ruth?

Ruth.

The barn.

Ruth, what are we doing?

Looking for proof.

Ruth, this is crazy.

I have already been shunned, Mary.

What else is there?

If I could expose him as the killer,

my family will take me back.

Oh, God. He's coming.

He's coming. Let's go.

Don't. No, come on.

Come on.

Mary Brown.

The Devil still haunts your soul, child.

Ruth Warren!

The eye of God sees you!

Please let me in! Father, let me in!

I can't.

Please open the door!

Please open the door, I'm begging you!

Ruth!

I can't send you away.

Father.

Leave me alone!

Mary!

The day of reckoning has arrived.

The Drommelkind has struck openly.

It is Mary Brown.

Her birthday arrives tonight

at the stroke of midnight.

Summon all the God-fearing to the chapel.

Elders...

prepare the horses.

Rebekah, what are you doing here?

We're staying here tonight.

The children are sleeping in the loft.

Jacob and I have quarreled.

I have no time to discuss your marriage.

Now where is Mary?

Her soul is in grave danger,

as is yours and your children

and all of New Bethlehem.

I do not know.

She did not return home last night.

You lie, I have already seen her

with the glint of the Devil in her eye!

Where does your allegiance truly lie?

Where would Jacob take her?!

If he had her in his possession,

I would say Sarah Maker's.

Mary!

Mary!

Oh, Mary.

Oh...

are you all right?

I'm afraid.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Mother Maker!

Jacob Brown. You cannot be here.

Look at her. Her seizures

are getting worse.

They've just been here looking for her.

Good, then they won't be back again,

will they?

- But I can't...

- But nothing!

18 years ago, I protected your daughter.

Now you will repay the favor.

She needs a doctor.

I must go into town and get some help.

I fear evil spirit's

taken this girl's soul.

- Look at her.

- There are no evil spirits,

And there is no Drommelkind!

It's a fairy tale!

Now I have a daughter who

needs serious medical help.

I'm not going to stand

by and watch her die.

Now you, you go to the church

so as to allay suspicion.

Sarah, you stay with Mary.

I'm going for help.

- But she needs to be purified.

- No, she needs a doctor.

Elder Beacon would let her die.

Now you stay with her.

Mary...

Mary?

Mary, can you hear me?

I want to help you.

You're in danger of the Dark One.

I'm going to find you the help you need.

Is anyone there?

We must act now.

Time is sh...

Mary is at our house.

Our faith has been rewarded.

The Drommelkind has been found.

Circle the house!

As long as you stand firm,

the evil within cannot escape.

As for the Drommelkind,

I will face it myself.

Sheriff Stevens,

we've got a 911 call from New Bethlehem.

From the abyss you came,

and to the abyss you shall return.

You shall not enter our world,

beast of Satan.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Praise be to the Lord...

The bargain which you struck for this flesh

is rendered null and void

by the power vested in me by God Almighty.

You cannot fool a soldier of Christ

with your fair face, Drommelkind!

Slither back into the slime

from whence you were spawned, demon!

Praise be to the Lord in whom we trust.

Do you know why New Bethlehem follows me,

Mary?

They follow me because they know the sound

of their master's voice.

The people outside are like dogs, Mary.

The greatest gift you can

give another human being

is the sound of their master's voice.

Look out.

Mary!

- Mary!

- Hold him!

Mary!

Our father who... who art in...

Is there something you want to tell me,

child?

Hallowed be thy name.

Demon!

Mary.

Come on.

You're insane.

Hi, Mary.

You remember me?

I know what you've been through.

But it would really help

if you could tell me

anything you remember about what happened.

25 minutes.

25 minutes what?

Until I become the Drommelkind.

What?

My birthday's at midnight.

It's when Satan will take

possession of my soul.

No, no, no, no.

I'll become one of his soldiers.

I'll become unimaginably powerful.

No, that's not gonna happen.

- You have to kill me.

- Mary.

You have to kill me before it's too late.

Relax, relax, okay?

Sheriff?

I'll be right back.

You're almost free.

Stay away from me. I'll hurt you.

No, you won't.

You were weak, Mary.

You are sickly, plagued by your fits.

The prophecy said only one

of you six girls would live,

only the strongest would survive.

I prayed for God to heal you.

He turned his back on me.

What did you do?

I cursed his name, renounced him.

And then I was offered

the chance to keep you alive.

My beautiful Mary.

You changed the prophecy.
