because it actually burns the ground.

It's like acid.

Although, in small doses,

it does cure poison ivy, insect bites.

I'm getting way off the subject, aren't I?

I've got to get back to my friends.

What are you looking at?

There have been

abductions here and here,

on both sides of the river.

And on this last one,

we believe a troll was involved.

- A troll?

- Trolls are extra.

Hey, so what's wrong with the girls

in this place, huh?

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong,

but aren't bar wenches

supposed to be easy?

- It's really unusual.

- Yes, it is unusual.

Look at this one.

A father and three children attacked.

One child was taken,

but she didn't touch the other two.

That's weird.

That's so weird.

- It is strange. it is strange, okay!

- Yeah, yeah.

Then again,

we hunt witches for a living.

What's normal, really?

Excuse me. Hansel and Gretel?

Oh, my God, I can't believe you're here.

I'm Ben. Benjamin Walser.

I am really quite a fan of your work.

That's great.

It's nice to meet you, Benjamin.

Listen, if it's not too much trouble,

-would you please sign...

- Oh, no...

Okay.

Oh, my.

Yeah, that's from when you

found the Fox Witch of Antwerp

and sank her in the moat.

And this one's from the

Secret Witch Ring of Belsen.

When they tried to put a gate to

hell under the courthouse.

I mean, you guys, you certainly

taught those witches a thing or two.

Wow.

This is amazing. And weird.

- A little creepy.

- Yeah...

You really keep all this stuff.

All right, well...

I just have so many questions.

Do you mind?

- You know, we have...

- Oh, no, no.

- You go ahead.

- All right.

Okay. How do you best kill a witch?

Hansel?

Cutting off their heads tends to work.

Ripping out their hearts.

And skinning them is also nice.

Yeah, but burning is the best way.

'Cause that's the only way to be safe.

- Burning, yeah, of course.

- Burn them all.

Is it true that witches can't harm you?

Well, no, that is horseshit, son.

Their magic doesn't work on us.

And they haven't killed us, yet.

Do you think that's because of

the witch that you burned

when you were children?

I guess that's how

it all started for you guys.

I mean, is that how

you became witch hunters?

How did you get your guns?

- How did you get your weapons?

- Okay, okay.

There's lots of things to do.

You're a really nice kid,

but we have a town under attack.

She killed them!

She killed them all.

Who killed what?

The witch!

She killed the trackers. All of them.

She gave me a message.

For you all.

The Curse of Hunger

for Crawling Things.

I f***ing hate that one.

That was awesome.

The witch hunters are near,

I can smell their stench.
