Salem

Previously on "Salem"...

Mother!

I am not your mother.

This sacrifice was orchestrated by Mary Sibley.

Mama?

Help me.

Something's happened to her.

Beyond that door lies hell itself.

Let us create a new life for you.

Mary Sibley must pay.

We will be finished with the problem

called Mary Sibley.

First bring me the rest of her blood.

Be very careful.

The instrument is filled with Red Mercury.

You must forge a dagger with that in it

and kill him with the dagger.

Soon, Little Master, soon.

Almost done.

Then all that remains is to open the door

and let your spirit return to this body.

By the work of my fingers, the work of my bone.

Come, Samael, hurry home.

Heed my calling, let her hear your voice.

The door will be opened,

leave her no choice.

Mother!

Mother! Can you hear me?

Please. Please come to me, Mother!

Please come to me, Mother.

I need you.

Please. Come now.

Come!

Open the door for me, Mother.

So cold here.

Please!

Yes, lovely Mother.

That's it.

Just do it.

Foolish woman.

You cannot stop the tides with a sword,

let alone a mere knife.

The door will open.

Over my dead body.

It would be so easy.

An end to all pain.

Open your eyes to the truth.

Mary doesn't love you.

Stop tormenting me, Mother!

You and your sister made the same mistake.

Inferior creatures mix their blood to strain out impurities.

But Marburg blood is already purer than pure.

Precisely because we never dilute it.

I don't understand.

No. But you will learn.

The only heart your heart truly needs

is the heart of a Marburg.

Tell me what I must do, Mother.

First, give me more of Mary's blood.

Mrs. Hathorne.

Mr. Lewis.

Incorrigible.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Before you go, Reverend,

you're a happily married man.

What is your parting advice to us

as we begin this journey of marriage?

Marriage? Mm.

Marriage is a door...

that opens on to both heaven and hell.

And it may be that the greatest happiness is found

by lingering on the threshold for as long as possible.

I think you most fortunate in your wife.

Such a resourceful woman.

Willing to do most anything

to ensure the success of her marriage.

She has indeed done the one thing most critical

to our marriage... Ensured that it bore fruit.

And for that, I am grateful.

Mmm.

We can't let you go without due pay for your ministerial duties.

No, that is not necessary.

I think there might be one bird in particular

to your liking.

She usually lingers in the furthest chaise downstairs.

No, thank you. I have sworn off such...

No harm in gazing, is there?

Even if it is only to give you something to think about

next time you're with your lovely wife.

After all, it doesn't matter where you gain your appetite,

as long as you dine at home.

The, uh, friend who arrived with me...

Have you seen him?

Kept asking for oranges. Took leave long ago.

Thank you.

Gloriana.

Good evening, sir.

Or is it morning? I never know.

"Sir"?

After all we've been to each other,

have we come to that?

I'm sorry.

Oughtn't I call you "sir"? Or is it...

I'm new. I'm still learning.

Time was I would've delighted in such games...

You pretending to be the novice.

But we've so little time.

Please...

come.

I'm sorry, sir, but do I know you?

Know me? What a question!

There... Do you know me now?

I... I don't know what to say.

Oh, no? Then I'll help you.

Did I do it wrong?

I'm so... Please don't tell Mercy.

I-I'm so confused. I just...

I'm sure I'll get the feel for it soon.

I think I'm supposed to charge for a kiss.

But I can't even remember how much.

How much do you think kisses cost?

Depends on whom you kiss.

Some are priceless and yet cost nothing.

Others are a curse and you pay for a lifetime.

Sir, please...

I'm sorry. I don't mean to confuse you.

I love you.

I never stopped loving you.

Please, remember me... Remember us!

I'm sorry,

but I... I cannot be the girl that you think me to be.

I'm sure as confused as I... feel,

I could never forget a fine gentleman such as yourself.

Okay, all right... You don't remember me.

Fine. Um...

What do you remember?

How did you come to be here?

I remember nothing

before a... nice woman put me in Mercy's keeping.

What woman?

Hair redder than mine.

In a nice house on the common...

with real china and the softest voice.

An angel she was.

I've learned that there is more than one kind of angel.

Gloriana, believe me,

whether you remember or not, we have loved each other.

We have known each other.

And I will help you.

I do feel as if I have seen you,

perhaps in a dream.

Though dreams, of course, are nonsense.

No, dreams are not nonsense.

Sometimes they even come true.

Take this.

Hide it.

Do not show Mercy or the others.

They will take it from you.

Surely a kiss from me doesn't cost nearly this much.

No, not enough.

I will return for you. I promise.

Tomorrow.

If there is a tomorrow, I will be here.

Perhaps you and I are meant for each other.

You seem to have lost your tomorrow,

and I all my yesterdays.

Seeing you has given me the strength

to fight for all of our tomorrows.

And I must also pay your angel a visit.

Thank her for all that she's done for you.

John?

John.

Oh, thank God!

Where is he?

Sent back to hell... Mumbling of oranges.

I... I...

I knew I had to kill him.

But to tell you the truth, in the end...

I... I almost felt bad.

Like I had slaughtered some great beast

whose like we shall never see again.

I felt like Judas himself leading him to you.

The knife.

Wait. This...

He said... whoever set me up with the knife...

Ohh.

Only an angel knows how to kill an angel.

But Tituba told you.

You think Tituba in league with the devil?

He had no reason to lie.

And the Red Mercury is still set to destroy Salem.

And everything around it.

We've got to find it. It could be anywhere.

We need to tend to your wounds first. There's no time.

There may be no time,

but I will not have you die before we solve this.

We can't count on Sebastian to help us, but...

soon as I get out of here

I'll tear the town apart looking for it.

I'll get word to Mary of all this.
