So you're the only one left,

Master Gregory.

Thank you for reminding me.

How long is this apprenticeship

supposed to last?

Ten years...

for my last apprentice.

But with you,

I have less than one week.

- Why so short?

- That is when the blood moon will be full.

Happens once a century.

The last time,

it was followed by years of war.

Witches laid waste to cities.

The world is still recovering.

If we do not stop Mother Malkin...

before the next red moon sets...

- How can we possib...

- Enough. No more questions.

We leave at dawn. Stay in your chamber.

Master Gregory, if you want me to learn,

you have to explain things.

No time. We must get to Pendle Mountain

before Malkin assembles her minions.

There are witches that need killing.

F***ing witches.

Help me.

Help me.

Help.

You were told to stay in your chamber!

That was your first test, Mr. Ward.

And not surprisingly, you failed!

Test number two:
The Rowan staff.

Carved by the very first Falcon Knight.

The finest fighting staff there is.

Master it,

and you can master any weapon.

Show me what you are!

I paid good money for you. I think

your father deceived me of your worth.

Are you not the seventh son

of a seventh son?

You ought to be seven times

as strong as a normal man.

Your mam,

she did not put up much of a fight

to keep you, did she?

You are worthless.

There is not enough time.

You'll be dead in a week.

- Good aim.

- I was aiming for your head.

Missed.

Teach me.

Please.

With the blood moon's rise

and Malkin's arrival,

the creatures of the dark

will be more frequent...

and more powerful.

These are her lieutenants.

This is Radu.

He has an army of assassins.

Throw the knife.

Go.

Salt and iron... they are crucial.

Salt burns. Iron bleeds away the strength

of any creature of the dark.

Tincture of copper, for flesh wounds.

Silverbane... repels witches.

Ogre scrotum...

for your own enjoyment. Follow.

Stone Chuckers... they're not

to be confused with Cattle Rippers.

What's the difference?

Stone Chuckers chuck stones.

Cattle Rippers rip cattle.

The names are fairly self-evident.

Verbanum... guards against spells.

That... That is disgusting.

What does that kill?

Cowardice.

Sarikin takes the form of a leopard.

Virahadra is the king of swords.

Your consistency is admirable, Mr. Ward.

Of all of them,

Malkin is the strongest.

She is the queen.

You know what?

I've seen Mother Malkin in my visions.

It's gonna take a lot more

than salt and iron to defeat her.

You leave Malkin to me.

Continue your studies.

My queen!

A gift... to commemorate your return.

My finest assassins.

Radu.

You spoil me.

But you must keep your gifts.
