The Last Witch Hunter (2015) Edit

A cab.

A concealment spell was placed to make everything look normal.

A long time ago.

A man who's walked through history.

A mass gravesite, 60 feet below ground,

A memory.

A whiff of garlic that was not garlic.

A witch's magic comes from four elements, fire, water, earth and air.

About my retirement?

After 800 years, you've run out of time.

After centuries of conflict, a truce was forged.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah.

Ah...

Ah...

ALL: The peace endures.

Alone.

Always hunting.

Always repeating itself, always predictable.

An observation on how you destroyed my life.

And fire.

And I somehow entered his mind.

And it won't stop until this prisoner is put back in his cell.

And just focus on that one word.

And moldering crabapples.

And now?

And one day he pushed it too far,

And promise me you'll get her as far away from here as you can.

And that we're mean and got burned at the stake in Salem?

And the only way to do that is to kill the witch who cast it.

And then they'd twist 'em into your worst nightmares.

And they've been waiting, waiting to be released.

And those of us who know the truth, we bear responsibility.

And those you claim to protect don't even know your name.

And you just jammed them together in your bag?

And you're the only one that can help me.

Applying the correct alchemical triggers will reveal its presence.

Are you hunting a witch?

Arsenic was used for embalming back in the Civil War.

Arsenic. Anything else?

At its root it's neither good nor evil.

At least The Axe and Cross still has their weapon.

Barely.

Be careful in there.

Be nice.

Beautiful place.

Because I wasn't going to be responsible

Belial didn't tell me anything.

Belial had red soil on his jacket.

Belial, I had no choice.

BELIAL: (OVER PHONE) You're too late, witch hunter.

BELIAL: For eight hundred years, we've waited for her return.

Besides,

Beyond evil.

Bitch.

Bottoms up.

Breathe.

Bring her endless death.

BRONWYN: Are you gonna turn me over to the Witch Council?

BRONWYN: You're gonna kill me?

Brother Dolan, look.

Business is good, right?

But a truce is a fragile thing.

But I always listen.

But I do know that there is more to it than a parade of stewardesses

But I'm also not leaving.

But I'm not blaming you for destroying my life or anything.

But if he dies in his dreams, the plague will be stopped.

But if you help me, I promise to keep you safe.

But it's been a long time since you really lived.

But it's old money, old magic, and dangerous.

But my enemies came to call it Hexenbane.

But sadly, I was born without magic.

But she just used me to save it for herself.

But the question remains, what did they want to know?

But the Witch Queen's linking their minds like a chain.

But this is different.

But what if those women really were witches?

But why doesn't he want me to remember my death?

But you walked through the flames, wrapped me in a blanket,

But you, you've lived.

But you'll be fine.

By iron and fire!

C'mon! That's just a story nannies tell children so they behave.

Can you blame them? What he does is so important.

Chloe, you need to leave.

CHLOE: Kaulder, if you don't wake up right now,

CHLOE: Kaulder, listen to me.

CHLOE: Kaulder, where are the prisoners?

CHLOE: Kaulder.

CHLOE: Miranda.

CHLOE: So now you know.

CHLOE: Take my hand.

Chloe. I told you not to...

Clay cannot be turned to gold.

Come on, Kaulder.

Come on. You're not getting any younger.

Course I do. It's just different than yours.

Damn you! This place was all I had!

DANIQUE: Come on.

Deal.

Death is coming, witch hunter!

Death.

Death.

Did I just say hundred? I...

Do you know how the elders of The Axe and Cross refer to him?

Do you know what we mortals call that?

Do you like my new pen? Huh?

Doesn't take much balls to get in a bar fight when you can't get hurt.

Dolan the 36th passed away peacefully last night.

DOLAN THE 36TH: I assume your mission was a success?

DOLAN THE 36TH: I serve The Axe and Cross in a very different manner.

DOLAN THE 36TH: I think you'll like my successor.

DOLAN THE 36TH: Look at you,

DOLAN THE 36TH: Witches live among us in secret.

DOLAN THE 37TH: ...to turn this city inside out.

DOLAN THE 37TH: (OVER PHONE) Kaulder?

DOLAN THE 37TH: Kaulder?

DOLAN THE 37TH: Right. Of course.

DOLAN THE 37TH: Stop!

DOLAN THE 37TH: Taxi!

DOLAN THE 37TH: Uh...

DOLAN THE 37TH: What?

DOLAN THE 37TH: You worry about Kaulder?

Dolan's got two days, tops.

Don't make eye contact.

Don't worry about your style.

Dream walker.

Drink this.

Elemental magic is neutral.

ELIZABETH: Father, you need to get up.

ELIZABETH: Father!

ELIZABETH: Father!

ELIZABETH: Father?

ELIZABETH: Look, Daddy. Look! They're flying south for the winter.

ELLIC: Blah, blah, blah.

ELLIC: You are sad reflections of...

Empty everything else out of your head.

Enjoy the shadows.

Every chain has a weak link.

Every day I wake up, the world sleeps a little easier.

Every generation has to be given their chance to destroy the world.

Every single mother and daughter,

Everyone knows that dream walking is a black gift.

Everything in them is old.

Father and son taken from us

Father!

Fear potion.

Fifty thousand.

Filled with thousands of forgotten slaves.

Find someone to trust.

Five hundred dollars.

Five thousand, is that what you meant?

Five thousand.

For 800 years, he has served The Axe and Cross.

For you.

Found? Oh, come on.

Fresh credit cards, new passport, and a new identity.

Genocidal immortal fascist...

Get away from me now.

Get out.

GIRL: Free sample, Father?

GLAESER: ...in the bedrock beneath this chamber.

GLAESER: Arise, Sentinel, and carry the condemned to prison.

GLAESER: Ha! The Witch Queen is long dead.

GLAESER: What is that?

Go away.

Go home, kid.

Go to my apartment. You'll be safe there.

Goes by Belial. Finnish national.

Good hunting.

Good.

Grab my hand!

Griffin's Henbane. Very rare and forbidden.

GROSETTE: Be warned, brothers.

GROSETTE: Help us!

GROSETTE: Stay in formation, men!

GROSETTE: What is that? Dolan?

Hang in there, for me.

Has always been frightened.

Has anyone asked him who he was workin' with?

Haven't covens with that kind of power been destroyed?

Haven't had an accent in years.

He cast a shape shifting spell.

He did it.

He had this knack for just pissing me off.

He has tons of it.

He isn't getting up.

He lost his car keys.

He was found at his desk.

He was killed by witches.

He'll take the piss out of you anyway.

He's just standing there all chilly calm, and then...

He's possessed!

He's the one Ellic was working for.

HELENA: Come back.

HELENA: Go, my love. Fight.

HELENA: Kaulder.

HELENA: My love.

Helena.

Hello, Father.

Hello, Father. Whoo!

Help him.

Here in this council.

Here's what you don't understand.

Hey, Chloe.

Hey, kid. I was afraid I was too late.

Hey! Hey, there.

Hey...

Hiding in caves.

How do you know when there's magic in the vicinity?

How many slain for breaking the law.

How many witch hunter discussion groups are you a part of?

How many witches I've turned over for detention.

How much do I owe you?

How much do you charge?

How?

How?

Huddling around fire.

Humor me.

I actually meant five thousand.

I am reborn.

I am the 36th Dolan, and I write Kaulder's history.

I could have killed every last one of you.

I curse you with life.

I did. I meant five thousand.

I didn't do anything.

I don't serve The Axe and Cross anymore.

I drip dried him like he was a stuck pig!

I get to kill you twice.

I guess we should be thankful it's not red.

I hadn't noticed.

I have no complaints.

I heard that you can't tell before it happens. Okay?

I helped him get the dirt.

I hope I don't look as rough as you do.

I just took a little bit for myself.

I killed the one who cursed you.

I know you think it's dull, but let's start at the beginning.

I know, I haven't lived as long and rich a life as you,

I mean, someone's taken it. It's not here.

I mean, what would you do if your next mission was your last?

I need you to get back to your seat, Kaulder.

I need you to take a seat.

I need you to wake up. None of this is real.

I need you.

I never met the man in my life!

I never thought it would be for a crime against one of our own.

I present the accused, Ellic Lemasniel, for judgment,

I present the evidence found in the accused's dwelling.

I promise I'll find who did this and break the curse.

I promise.

I re gifted it.

I saw that there were things much worse than her.

I still need you.

I swear to help you carry out your duty to the Order...

I swear to you,

I swore an oath to keep it secret.

I testify that I am.

I thought my immortality was the way that she punished me.

I told you we'd met before.

I trust you.

I vowed to face death at your side.

I want a raise.

I was five years old when witches set our house on fire.

I was yanked out of a memory spell once.

I wasn't born a priest.

I watched them lay it in when this was nothing more than a cornfield.

I wish there was another way.

I would.

I'd love to hear about growing up in Sefrou.

I'll confess it later.

I'll handle Belial.

I'll miss you, kid.

I'll need more Snowdonia hawkweed to mix another memory potion.

I'm afraid I bear some responsibility.

I'm coming, too.

I'm coming, too.

I'm driving.

I'm finally getting used to you.

I'm going alone. If I can't trust my own people, how the hell can I trust you?

I'm just making an observation.

I'm leaving you in more modern hands.

I'm leaving.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm tryin' to stop you from killing yourself.

I've done the math.

I've got the FBI database online.

I've had the time.

I've met a lot of people in my life.

I've missed you, Kaulder.

I've seen it in your eyes.

I've seen people get old, retire, and die.

I've seen what comes next.

I've shown mercy.

I've spent my entire life trying to hide from it.

I've taken this world back.

I've waited my entire life for the opportunity to help you.

If I get hurt now, I stay hurt.

If the window hasn't been opened, how did that get in here?

If there's any sign she's getting hurt in there, you have to wake her up.

If you don't remember, I can refer you to the entry...

If you get injured in your memory, you get injured out here.

If you tell me the word, I'll focus on it, too.

Immortality was never yours. It was mine.

In the darkness. Waiting.

Is not afraid of you. And that scares me!

Is that part of the spell?

It didn't to you?

It goes without saying, but you've served with great distinction.

It is not illegal to sell mind altering bugs.

It is only by the operations of this council that another war does not begin.

It is their Witch Queen

It is those whom Kaulder deals with.

It was a very brave thing to do.

It was hubris to think that our secret wouldn't be discovered by the enemy.

It's a message from Dolan, not the killer.

It's all I am.

It's also a useful object on which to record it.

It's coming for Ellic.

It's her heart.

It's his mind.

It's Miranda.

It's Miranda.

It's not his body we need to destroy.

It's not what you think.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's only been 50 years.

It's simple science.

It's the Queen!

It's why every one of you must perish.

It's, uh, Kaulder that I worry about.

Just gettin' used to the old one.

Just like you will.

Kaulder threatened to beat me to death with his bare hands.

Kaulder,

Kaulder, even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Kaulder, I came to help.

Kaulder, I know where Belial brought all that dirt.

Kaulder, it's smoke. Don't...

Kaulder, wake up.

Kaulder, you are in a trap!

Kaulder, you have tasted more of life than I can ever imagine,

KAULDER: As long as the Hexen heart beats,

KAULDER: By iron

KAULDER: Chloe!

KAULDER: Hey, kid.

KAULDER: I'd think twice about that.

KAULDER: I've been looking for these for a while.

KAULDER: It's a plague tree. She's here.

KAULDER: Just hold on, kid.

KAULDER: Magic.

KAULDER: More than I scare you?

KAULDER: No, not him.

KAULDER: Our priest, and my friend.

KAULDER: Remember my death.

KAULDER: Remember your death.

KAULDER: Salem was wrong, and those women innocent.

KAULDER: The cards are wrong.

KAULDER: Unbelievable.

KAULDER: Yeah.

KAULDER: You killed Dolan. Why?

KAULDER: You're here.

Kaulder!

Kaulder! There's something wrong with this plant.

Kaulder! Wake up!

Kaulder?

Kaulder?

Kaulder?

Kaulder.

Kaulder.

Kaulder.

Kaulder. It has been too long.

Kaulder. Kaulder.

Kaulder...

Kill you?

Know what they did?

Least they got your eyes right.

Lemme show you something. Come on.

Let fear be dead to us.

Let me see your hands.

Let's do some work.

Let's see it.

Listen to me.

Living.

Look at your hair!

Look, I don't like it any more than you do,

Magic that can do very bad things.

Magic.

Make me whole. Help me reach my destiny.

MAN 1: This place reeks of death.

MAN 2: Excuse me, miss?

MAN 2: Keep your wits about you.

MAN 3: Stay close.

MAN 5: (WHISPERING) The magic.

MAN: Do you promise to serve our brother Kaulder in all things?

MAN: Good night, Max!

MAN: I don't know that I can do $10,000.

MAN: Kaulder!

MAN: Thank you.

Max, you're too smart to go down that road.

MAX: No, please.

MAX: You know the level of enchantment they are getting from that.

Max.

May I ask where we're going?

Maybe you shouldn't have made me immortal.

MEDIEVAL DOLAN: Heavenly Father, protect us from these demons.

MEDIEVAL DOLAN: Kaulder.

MEDIEVAL KAULDER: By iron...

MEDIEVAL KAULDER: Stay back!

MEDIEVAL KAULDER: What is it, Dolan?

MEDIEVAL KAULDER: You're not real.

Miranda, the girl who works for me, has a pretty good stash.

More than anyone in history, actually.

Mr. Kaulder, you've made my night.

My mind was scrambled eggs for hours.

My name is Kaulder.

My parents died.

Never in the history of The Axe and Cross has a Dolan ever been murdered.

Nice view.

No coffee until after the ritual.

No magic here.

No need to be nostalgic. We have enough evil now.

No witch would be strong enough to cast this spell alone.

No, I can't.

No, I'm not dead yet.

No, no! You may hold me now,

No, our agreement was that if I helped you, you'd keep me safe.

No, the deal was that we stick together.

No, you know what?

No!

No! There must be another way.

No.

No.

No.

No. I remember.

No. You know what? No. I changed my mind. We're cl...

Nor do I abide by your law. (SPITS)

Not since the time of the Witch Queen.

Not to me.

Not to work until I keel over.

Not unless we could break the curse.

Not you. Him.

Nothing. It's boring, really.

Notice this?

Now I'm right back where I started.

Now what in the world do you know about stewardesses anyway?

Now, Max is a 14th level warlock,

Now, what in the world would you be afraid of?

Now.

Now...

Of course.

Of course. That's my job.

Oh, crap.

Oh, no, come on! No, not you, too.

Oh, no. I'm not looking for love tonight.

Oh, nothing. You have a drink with me. That's my price.

Oh, shit. This guy again.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Is that all it took?

Oh. So we're negotiating, then?

Oh. Thank you.

Okay.

One can only imagine how many times I've been lied to.

One means nothing.

One strict rule, that magic never be used against humans.

One word.

Only on the surface.

Only to ignore it.

Our agreement depended on me keeping you safe.

Our nightmare ends with a miracle.

Please don't think less of me.

Please?

Probably lowered the value quite a bit.

Public speaking.

Rain, wind, cold, heat...

Rarely on the same day.

Release my Queen.

Remember your death.

Right, so when she gets here, don't make any sudden moves, okay?

Right. But it's important to keep a low profile.

Right. I'll get a receipt.

Save them.

Say witch hunter.

Scour her by fire.

See now, I know that you have a code.

See what?

See, I remember thinking if it was me found guilty,

Shall we start?

She died badly, screaming.

She's a cat person.

She's never truly dead.

Shop's closed, Max.

Shouldn't I have a gun or an iron mallet or something?

Sir, Fasten seatbelts signs are on.

Smartphones and geotracking. The world is changing.

So are you worried about me then?

So how do we stop them?

So I ran away.

So many of us pretend to be something that we're not.

So tell me, what is this emergency?

So that's what you witches think of me, huh?

So we're to judge him without interrogation?

So you ready to go, or what?

Sold.

SOLDIER: End it, Brother Dolan.

Some things are best left forgotten.

Somehow they used to jump into your mind and pry out your most precious memories.

Sometimes that helps.

SONYA: Danique's been so busy, I'm surprised that she agreed to see you.

Sonya.

Sorry.

Sorry. Totally my fault.

Stay close.

Stop! Please.

Stop.

Take a deep breath. Center yourself.

Thank you, Max.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That ever walked the Earth and put 'em in one place.

That her magic could return is impossible.

That means he worked alone.

That was a long time ago.

That wasn't your choice to make!

That we have green skin and like to wear pointy hats,

That's him.

That's what the old man thought.

That's why you've come back.

The Axe and Cross would be bothered that

The ceremony will be tomorrow.

The chanting stopped.

The dark days of the Witch Queen.

The hawkweed's gone. It's gone.

The Hexen are amongst us.

The laws serve to control and contain magic.

The longer you wait, the harder it is to get out.

The man who came to see me has an odor on his skin.

The meeting has concluded.

The night he was attacked, I think he was going to destroy it.

The one Ellic works for.

The part where you share it.

The peace endures.

The Queen.

The Queen's using their power to release the plague.

The Sentinel.

The truck he rented had a standard GPS locator...

The witch prison.

The Witch Queen has returned.

The Witch Queen will cast another plague curse.

The Witch Queen's deadliest assassins.

The world without you.

Their magic passed down from an ancient race,

There are global databases now, CCTV's,

There are shades of evil everywhere.

There are some who long for the return of the old ways,

There is no going back, for there is nothing to go back to.

There is one place.

There's no Three of Pentacles card.

There's nothing you can do. May as well relax.

There's something no one knows about dream walkers.

These are ancient runes. They can manipulate weather.

These are the dream walkers.

They betrayed you from the start.

They call him The Weapon.

They didn't kill my parents. They were my parents.

They don't need memory potions.

They tied him to the chair.

They used their power to change the world.

They wanted to interrogate him.

They were created in the tree of the Queen, correct?

They were searching for something, didn't want us to know.

They're bringing back the Queen.

They're gonna bring back the Queen.

They're mixing them in the cupcakes.

They're no longer in possession of the Queen's heart.

They're not so different than you.

Think of a word that you associate with me.

Thirty five Dolans have come before you.

This is a declaration of war. Who could have done this?

This is a Waterman 402.

This is dark magic.

This is the history of witches. Your history.

This is used in necromancy. Dark magic.

This is why I created the Plague.

This isn't who you are.

This lie has kept Apocalypse at bay for hundreds of years.

This time I do it for me.

Those closest to you betray you,

Those witches you rescued me from when I was a kid...

Three, trouble.

To have known Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler...

To never know peace.

To walk the Earth alone for eternity.

Today we both die.

Together we have kept watch and kept the peace.

Too bad your mind isn't as tough as the rest of you.

Tread with care.

Try doing that with an iPad.

Uh, I'm sorry, Father Dolan. He's in a meeting.

Unless you're gonna put a gun to my head, get out.

Until now.

Waiting for what?

Wake up!

Watch it!

We are both going to die!

We don't destroy witches anymore.

We haven't much time.

We incarcerate them.

We just have to find one with a crabapple tree.

We still need you.

We took all the most powerful witches

We took out some nasty covens.

We were afraid if the Queen's heart was destroyed,

We were interrupted back in your bar.

We're going down in history as the ones who beat the witch hunter.

We're not all as adaptable as you.

We're the same as you.

We're up to code. There are no humans here.

Well, hello, witch hunter.

Well, I've gotten used to you.

Well, it's about time.

Well, it's out of date.

Well, now's your chance.

Well, that depends on what you're buying.

Well, then

What about the vow you took?

What are we looking for?

What are you doing?

What did you want me to see?

What do you want a memory potion for, anyway?

What does Belial want with it?

What does Belial want with it?

What happened to the iPad I gave you?

What is it that people know about us, anyway?

What is it you just must remember?

What your kind never understood.

What, you're giving a history lesson here or you're just trying to scare me?

What?

What's that for?

What's the word?

Whatever happens, promise me you'll watch out for him.

Whatever the killers wanted to know, he would have told them.

When a Plague fly burrows inside of you, it breaks your will.

When I imagined my first prosecution in front of the Council,

When the spell is done, the fly swarm will be released.

When they were building this city, construction crews discovered

When they're used on humans, it is.

When we destroy it, we destroy her.

Where would that leave you?

Where'd you rescue your little friend from, a thrift shop?

Which means to say that if you die in there,

Who brought this curse upon our lands.

Who says that a witch can't hunt witches?

Who the bloody hell's Dolan? Huh?

Who?

Whoa.

Whoever killed Dolan is likely living in what was once a funeral parlor.

Why didn't they just murder him?

WITCH QUEEN: A dream walker shows your past.

WITCH QUEEN: Can you feel it?

WITCH QUEEN: Everyone you love is gone.

WITCH QUEEN: I've seen it in your eyes.

Witch Slayer.

Witches would be allowed to live and govern themselves if they followed

With cool, moist air at 40,000 feet?

Without magic, you're just a human.

WOMAN: (SOBBING) Oh, my God.

Worked by night, filled the hole, and kept building.

Yeah.

Yes, my bar!

Yes, my Queen.

Yes, that's true, but he isn't just a weapon.

Yes.

You are a disgrace to our kind.

You are a traitor to your kind!

You are the monster they say you are.

You are trespassers on our world.

You are trespassers on our world.

You breed like rats.

You can defeat her again.

You can help me hunt the witches that did this.

You can trust me.

You can't be.

You can't change what you've done.

You cling to your pathetic life.

You defeated her once.

You have no sense of time.

You hunted down the witches and brought them to justice.

You kept it.

You knew I would discover your secret, and you didn't care.

You knew I would discover your secret, and you didn't care.

You knew what it meant all along, and you said nothing.

You know I do not deal in these kinds of bad things.

You know my great grandfather's grandfather served The Queen, huh?

You know paper's the past.

You know what I like about thrift shops?

You know what I'm afraid of?

You know what I'm here for.

You know what you get when you mix a thunderstorm

You know, I don't care!

You know, I have a younger brother, and, uh,

You know, people shouldn't root around in their past.

You know, you're right. I do have a code.

You lied to me!

You look like a good man,

You must get up.

You must go.

You must understand, anyone who would use this herb

You reconsider, you can still keep the pen.

You recovered the weather runes without incident?

You saved her heart. Remember your death.

You still owe me fifty thousand dollars.

You still pulled me out of that trap.

You turned against those you were charged with protecting.

You ugly bitch of a morning.

You were here last night before he died, right?

You will be sacrificed for our cause.

You will fail, and humanity will fall.

You will never die.

You wish for death.

You witches have no idea the power you've got.

You wouldn't be.

You, too.

You'd be amazed what you pick up.

You'd lose your immortality. Or die.

You'll never see daylight again.

You'll still be here when I get back, right?

You're a bureaucracy o' cowards and I don't recognize the authority

You're a dream walker.

You're a witch.

You're different now. So confident.

You're gonna get who did this, right?

You're missing out on the best part of our brief stay in this world.

You're not gonna find any answers here.

You're not qualified for what happens next.

You've got magic in your blood.

Your friend, he lasted about five minutes longer than most.

Your life ebbing away?

Your mortality?

13th century black magic.

(CAT MEOWING) Whoa.

(CLANGING) (GASPS)

(COUGHS) Here.
