TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] George: Fornicator! Isaac: [Screams] Mr. Hale: He searches. Captain: So where is the witch? Increase: Right here. Captain: Aaah! Mr. Hale: If he cannot be stopped, well, then it's an entirely new game, isn't it? Mrs. Hale: Everything your father does, he does for you. Anne: [Gasps] Cotton: I no longer want to be your customer. True love cannot be bought or sold. John: Let's just live. Rose: You still love John Alden. The grand rite ferments best in a loveless heart. Mary: He serves at my behest. He won't come out for you. Cotton: Father. Mary: My dear Increase. How long may we enjoy your presence in town? Increase: Until every last Devil's whore of a witch in Salem is dead. [Dog barking] Depravity. Can there be a more apt word to describe the current state of your fair city? Drink, perversity, abominations of each and every variety offered and received.

Mr. Hale: So why is he? Increase: The serpent from eden... Mary: He came to see what his son had accomplished. Increase: You have listened and... Mr. Hale: And why is he staying? Mary: He saw what his son had accomplished. Increase: There are witches hidden amongst us, and you people of Salem, seduced by drink and by flesh, are happily blinded to it. Standing before you, with the certainty of the rising sun, I assure you this will change. Mrs. Sibley. Mary: Reverend, your words are inspiration. England's loss is our gain. Increase: I trust your husband's condition is improving. Mary: Sadly, no. Increase: Well, please tell George I shall visit him again at once. Perhaps my presence may be of some comfort to him. Mary: Oh
