Mr. Hale! Oh.
Oh, good to see you!
Oh, well,
I see you've come well prepared.
This is Thomas Putnam.
How do you do, sir?
Allow me, sir.
This is my wife, Goody Ann.
Will you come to our Ruth? Her soul
seems flown away. Will you come to her?
Aye. I'll come directly.
And you must be Rebecca Nurse...
- and Mr. Nurse.
- You know me?
No, but you look as such a good
soul should.
All of us in Beverly
have heard of your great charities.
There is prodigious danger in seeking
loose spirits.
I fear it.
- Francis.
- Mr. Hale.
I go to God for you, sir.
I hope you do not mean that we go
to Satan here.
I wish I knew.
I hear you be
a sensible man, Mr. Hale.
Hope you'll leave some of it in Salem.
She lies as though dead.
And this
one cannot bear the Lord's name.
- Aye.
- That's a sure sign of witchcraft afloat.
No, no, Mr. Putnam.
We must not look to superstition in this.
The marks of
the devil are as definite as stone.
What book is that?
What's there, sir?
Here is all the invisible world.
In these books, the devil stands
stripped of all his brute disguises.
Here are all your familiar spirits...
your incubi and succubi.
Your witches that go by land,
by air, and by sea.
Have no fear now.
We shall find him out if he has
come among us.
I mean to crush him utterly if he
has shown his face.
Here is my niece, Abigail.
I'd like to examine your Ruth
before I say more.
Mr. Hale!
I've always
wanted to ask a learned man.
strange books?
Many a night,
I've waked and found her in a corner...
reading of a book,
and not the Bible either.
- Who's that?
- Martha, my wife.
I'm not saying the devil's touched her,
but mark this...
could not say my prayers.
Then, she close her book
and walked out of the house...
and suddenly,
mark this, I could pray again.
The stoppage of prayer.
- We'll discuss that.
- Mr. Hale.
Was there no warning of this affliction?
Do you recall any disturbance
before it struck?
Any unusual behavior?
Mr. Hale.
Mr. Parris.
I did discover my niece...
with a number of her friends...
dancing in the forest.
You permit dancing?
No. No.
'Twas secret.
Mr. Parris's slave
has knowledge of conjuring, sir.
Now, that may not be true.
Abigail, you must tell me about this
dancing.
Common dancing is all it is, sir.
Tell me, child, when you
are dancing, is there a fire?
Why...
There was a fire.
They were boiling something.
- Lentils and beans.
- Was anything moving in the pot?
That jumped in.
We never put that in.
What jumped in?
Who are they?
I want their names.
