See?

- Stop.

- Stop it, each of you! Stop it.

- Thomasin, take the twins inside.

- No!

Get inside. Get inside.

Get inside.

As you like.

We went to find apples!

In the valley.

I had thought I had seen an

apple tree in the valley.

Father brought the gun,

- for if we glanced that wolf again.

- Why did you not tell me?

Father wanted it a

surprise to cheer you,

but there were none.

I thought I had seen them.

I like you not outside the farm.

Even to the valley.

Dost hear me?

Caleb...

Be a good lad and get

some water for thee Mother.

Stray not from the brook.

Why are you dallying?

What then?

What?

Caleb?

Caleb?

- Stop it!

- I meant no harm in it.

Whats the matter with thee?

Come hither.

Whats the matter with thee?

I've seen no apple since

we went from England.

I would thou hadst found em.

I so wish for one.

- Hear that?

- Aye.

Whos there?

I be The Witch of the Wood.

Mercy, come out.

I be not Mercy, I be

The Witch of the Wood.

And i have come to steal ye!

Hear me stick a-flying

through the trees.

Clickety-clackety-clickety-clakety!

- Mercy!

- Clickety-clackety-clickety-clakety!

Why ist when thou dost a wrong, I be

a-washing Fathers clothes like a slave,

and thou art playing idle?

- Because Mother hates you!

- Spoilt child.

Ill tell Mother you have

left the farm alone.

Black Phillip saith I

can do what I like.

Devil take your Black Phillip.

Its your fault I

cannot leave the yard.

I could go to the brook before

you let The Witch take Sam.

- Quiet thee.

- It was a wolf stole Sam.

A witch. Ive seen her in her

riding cloak about The Wood!

- Father showed me the tracks.

- It was a witch!

It was a witch, Mercy.

You speak aright.

Thomasin!

- It was I!

- Liar.

Twas I what stole him.

- I be the witch of the wood.

- Liar! Liar!

I am.

List not to her Mercy.

I am that very witch.

When I sleep my spirit

slips away from...

...my body and dances

naked with The Devil.

- Thats how I signed his book.

- No!

He bade me bring him

an unbaptized babe,

so I stole Sam, and I

gave him to my master.

And Ill make any man or

thing else vanish I like.

No.

Aye. And Ill vanish thee

too if thou displeaseth me.

- Be quiet.

- Mercy, shes but telling fantasies.

Perchance Ill boil and bake

thee since we are lack of food.

- Stop!

- Stop Thomasin.

- Its not true!

- It is, thou thing!

How I crave to sink my

teeth into thy pink flesh.

If ever thou tellst

thy mother of this,

I will witch thee

and thy mother!

- And Jonas too!

- Caleb!

Stop thy tears and

swear thy silence.

I swear it.

You will not tell

Mother nor Father!

- I swear!

- Thomasin, let her alone!

Get away from her Caleb
