"And then..." " ...she killed them all." " Oh." "She burnt out their eyes because they came to watch." " [Edward] We should pray." " I'm tired." "Just a moment more." " For our prayers."

"Edward, I think the child should wear your cross tonight." " For protection." " Of course." " Here." " Thank you." "Here, child." "Wear this tonight." " It will keep you safe." " Solomon...

"Please don't hurt me." "I just want to go home." "Forgive me, child." "Forgive me." "Go, go." "Go in peace." "Move along." " Clear out the dead." " They're no use to Malachi." "Where are you taking us?" "What do you want?" "Make your peace, child." "There's no way out for us." "Slavery or death." "That's our only way out." "God will not deliver us from this." "We'll find a way out." "Take my hand." "We'll find the strength to survive this." "Quiet!" "[man] Bring her here." "[horse whinnying]" "[thunder cracks]" "Hyah!" "Dear God."

"I've seen such terrible things." " So this is your home?" " I need nowhere else." "I have nowhere else." "You come far?" "Three days' hard ride have brought me here." "But where here is I know not." "These are the borderlands of Somerset and Devonshire." "My home, too." "Sad homecoming for you, then." "Have those raiders been here?" "Those black-eyed lapdogs of Malachi?" "Aye." "They passed through here." "Now they hold sway over all the lands to the west of here." "Then I shall be riding westward." "Then you shall ride to your death, my son." " Who is this Malachi?" " A servant of the Devil." "A sorcerer." "No one ever sees him." "He hides away in his castle and sends forth that masked warrior to do his bidding." "His army makes slaves of the weak and soldiers of the strong." "But God will save the faithful." "[priest] It's here." "It's here, here." "I have read it." "I have read it." "This is the end of days." "You truly believe that?" "Every foul thing that the light of Christ kept at bay is crawling up out of the pit to curse the land." "I think Christ and all his angels have been asleep, whilst we are left to suffer." "You mind your blasphemy!" "It can only be as God ordains it." "How can it be right, that this evil is left to walk the earth whilst all we have to protect ourselves is what?" "Simple faith?" "It is written in the scriptures." " [creaking]" " Shh!" "What was that?" "I heard something outside." "No, my son." "There is nothing evil out there." "Evil is already here." "What do you mean?" "Come." "See?" ""Satan has desired to have them, that he may sift them as wheat."" "[groaning]" "My God." "What was I to do?" "You should destroy them, man!" "I cannot destroy them." "They were men and women once." "People I knew." "Malachi's curse that changed them is no fault of theirs." "This is my flock." "I keep them." "Care for them." " I feed them." " Feed them?" "With what?" "What do you feed them?"

"Malachi will own all this land here soon enough." "There's no point in you fighting." "The only thing round here is fighting." "But you don't do that, do you?" "Well, you know I may just have changed my mind about that." "[groaning]" "Ah!" "No!" "No!" "What are you doing?" "!" "What are they?" "!" "Now, this girl, your kind took her." " Have you seen her?" " I don't know her." "Take a long hard look." "This is your last chance to save your pitiful life." " Come on!" " All right, I've seen her." "Where?" "Where have you seen her?" "She's dead." "Dead?" "Don't you lie to me." "No!" "I wouldn't lie." "I want to live!" "Don't you lie to me!" "I'm not." "She's dead!" "Dead!" "She's not dead!" "No!" "[screaming]" "[Solomon] For the bag." "Leave it all."

"I was a mate on the Tiercel when you captained." "My name's Telford." "Do you remember?" " It's not him." " It is him!" "It's Kane." "He can lead us, believe me." "Where to, Henry?" "Another tavern?" "Look at him!" "My friend here says you're the greatest warrior he ever saw." " I don't believe him." " [Solomon] You shouldn't." "I know what you can do, captain." "I've seen it!" "Those were distant times." "She's dead now." "And I have forfeit my soul." " He's no use to us." "Leave him!" " No!" "Captain Kane, we need a leader." " We have to fight back!" " Then fight back!"

"He's getting stronger all the time." "I don't see how we can win." "[Telford] That's why we need Kane." "We need him, whatever his past sins were." "But one devil for another seems like folly." "Earth, fire, stone, and water..." "Keep your filthy pagan magic away from me." "It is my pagan magic that has healed you." "There's more power here than your Christian God." "You'd do well to remember that." "I have done what you asked." "His body is healed." " What do you see of our future?" " [scoffs]" "Your champion will lead you into blood and darkness." "Are you ready for that?" "[hissing, demonic voices whispering]" "What are you doing?" "You need to rest." " I'm leaving." " Why?" "Because it's not over yet." "She's still alive." "You're barely healed." "And we're too few to fight Malachi's men." "Just wait a little." "I do not ask you to come with me, nor do I want you to." "Well, you may not want it, but we will." "This lad has promised us you will destroy this evil, and we're here to fight with you." "[men murmuring]" "Promised, have you?" "That's what you want, isn't it?" "To end this?" "Then let us help you." "[Telford] Malachi was a priest and a healer, but he sold his soul to the Devil for the power he now possesses." "He enslaves our people and corrupts the land." "And the masked rider, he's the iron fist that commands his army and spreads the poison." "[man] He has no face beneath his mask." "He can possess you with his touch." "It's true, I've seen it." "If we kill him, Malachi will be vulnerable." " Easier said than done, my friend." " No." "He will fall." "You know where this Malachi is?" "That is no secret." "Exmouth Castle." "No..." "No, that cannot be." "There is no doubt." "Do you know it?" "My father was lord of Exmouth Castle." "I grew up there." "There's no lord there now." "I did not even know he'd died." "Now, this must end." "All of you... all of you, gather your weapons!" " We're not ready." " It's time to take the fight to him." " We're not ready." " Neither is he!" " We're too few." " Oh, come on!" "You have seen me taking cities with fewer." "[man] But how do we get through the front gates?" "You forget, I was born here." "I have no intention of going through the front gates." "[Solomon] Come on." "[Solomon] Good God." "My home!" " You lived here?" " Uh-huh." "That explains a lot." "[rattling]" " You!" " Welcome home Solomon Kane." "[screaming] [shouting]" "Telford!" "Get your men inside!" "We cannot win this!" "Men!" "Follow me!" "Meredith?" " [woman] Help us!" " Meredith?" "Is there a girl in there called Meredith?" " [woman] Please help us..." " Meredith?" "[grunting]" "[gurgling] [prisoners clamoring]" "You're free." "All of you." "Get out of here." "Thank you." "[man] Let's get away from here." "Come on, old man, you're free." "All right, I'll help you, then." "Let's see if I can loosen these chains." "[man] Even if you do, I'll stay." "What are you talking about, man?" "Why?" "Because this was my home." "Father?" "Solomon?" "I thought I had lost you forever." "You were still a boy when..." "You will never break them." "They were spun with dark magic as much as with metal." "How will I free you?" "You can't, Solomon, don't try." "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 fall, 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." "[gunshot] [shouting]" " 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." " [Solomon] Just keep them back." " Ah!" " 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?" "[footsteps]" "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 chair." "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." " [grunts] - [screams]" "Oh, God, Solomon!" "[groaning]" "Brother, listen to me." "If you can hear me, Marcus, you do not have to do this." "[Meredith] No!" "Listen to me!" "Meredith, run!" "Where is your master?" "Eh?" "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!" "[roaring]" "Marcus... our father is dead." "You are lord here now!" "Malachi has no control over you!" "No!" "[groans]" "Brother, stop!" "Brother!" " [grunts] - [screams]" "Solomon!" "Rest in peace, brother." "It's time." "Only your innocent blood will release him." " [Meredith screams] - [slurping] [spits]" "Now you are free!" "[roaring]" " [screaming]" " Kill him!" "My God." "Only you can help me now." "[roaring]" "Stop!" "Let her go." "[creature growling]" "You can have my soul." "Why would you risk everything, even your soul to save her?" "I made a promise." " I must keep it." " [shouts]" "[grunts]" " [roaring] - [screaming]" "[sobbing quietly]" "Solomon." "[both gasp]" "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." "[footsteps]" "The guards have fallen." "[Solomon] 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 the things 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." "[grunts and groans throughout]"
