Darkness, I charge you with this sign

mother in the night are mine.

I teach you the mystery of rebirth

work my mysteries in Earth.

Hear my ears and speak with my tongue.

Drawn to the heart and lip

five points to this fellowship.

I bring you ecstasy and rebirth.

Be with my things living on my own.

From me they come and to me they go.

I invoke you and call upon you

brought by seed and Earth.

Hear me with my ears and speak with my tongue.

- I invite you to come. - I invite you to come.

Get in, psycho.

What?

What?

What the fu..

You're fuckin' weird, dude.

- Mom? - Wait a second.

Honey, I said give me a second.

I just wanted to see if you were okay.

Where are you going on a school night?

I'm going to that book signing, remember?

I told you.

Do whatever you want. I don't care.

Okay.

You get one of those tattooed on you.

Bad ass motherfucker.

- Hi. - Hi.

It's an amazing book.

Thank you.

I find it really fascinating

because the writing is so good

and you take the subject seriously.

Thank you.

But I just wish that maybe you could write

a little bit more about rituals. Um..

I think you've got enough of them in there. No?

Just, careful what you believe in.

Alright?

Yeah.

- What's your name? - Leah.

Leah, that's a lovely name.

- Thanks for coming. - Yeah, thanks.

I love this part, about evil.

"I don't think the devil's role is to create evil,

but rather to expose the evil in the hearts of men

by challenging their loyalty to God."

Fuck, that's cool.

I don't care if this guy looks like my dad.

He's still fuckin' cool.

- Here. - Thanks.

Do you think our parents will always be our parents?

What the hell does that mean?

Like, I mean, like

we're supposed to look up to them

but they're really just fuckin' people. right?

Like walking in on them takin' a shit?

No. Like..

I mean, like, they're just people

and they fuck up and they make mistakes

and really they're just fuckin' people.

It's weird.

Stop.

Okay.

- Okay. - Yeah. Okay, bye.

Fuck.

What's wrong?

You tell me.

Leah? Leah!

Leah, get downstairs.

So, are you gonna tell me

that the book signing just ended

and you're home right after like a good girl, huh?

No.

I called the library

and I know what time it ended, so..

So?

So, I'm tired of you lying to my face.

I'm trying to do the best I can, okay?

I'm havin' a really hard time here

I need you on my side.

Well, you're all over the place.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I don't even know

who I'm coming home to anymore.

Leah..

...I just can't do it here anymore, okay?

I'm trying, but I feel like I can't breathe.

This place feels like your father's funeral

every fucking day.

- I have to move on. - What?

I didn't wanna say anything in case

I changed my mind, but I signed a lease

on a place up north from here.

I'm selling this house.

Honey, I need a fresh start

please understand.

We're moving?

Yes.

When?

By the end of the month.

Oh, fu..

Fuck. Fuck.

You're making pancakes?

Sure, why not?

Sit, sit.

Okay.

I'm gonna be late for work, so enjoy.

Mwah!

Oh, I, um, I need to go to the new place today.

I want you to come with me.

I'll pick you up after school. Okay?

Leah?

Yeah, okay.

- Are you serious? - Yeah.

That's fucking bullshit, just like that?

Yeah, I don't know what to do about it.

She's taking me out there tonight.

I'm sure I'm gonna fucking hate it.

Here.

No, I shouldn't, um, she's picking me up soon.

That's fucking bullshit.

Leah?

Coming.

So, what are you gonna do about work?

Everything I do from the office

I can do from home.

And maybe I'll get a little hobby job

on the weekends.

We can do it together, that could be fun.

I spend the weekends with my friends.

Well, you'll make new friends at school.

Okay. We should talk about that.

I was thinking I can transfer you

after the holidays.

Does that sound good?

- No. - No?

No.

I don't wanna change schools, Mom.

Why don't you just let me get my license?

I can drive myself down.

When you can afford your own car

and learn to drive, absolutely.

Well, when are you gonna let me do that?

It's like your way of controlling me.

I really don't wanna fight with you today.

Would you be happy finishing the school year

and then transfer next year?

I will drive you in the morning

pick you up after school.

Take it or leave it.

You have everything?

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- Lunch? Okay. - Yup.

I'll be right here after school, okay?

Okay.

- Oh. Fuck. - What?

My mom's waiting for me.

Well, we'll see you this weekend, right?

We're going to that, like, stupid carnival thing.

No, I have to be up north with her.

Shit, that's too bad.

Okay. Cool, see you later.

See ya.

Fuck.

Hey, kiddo, how was your day?

Great.

And you shouldn't call me that either.

Well, that's how you're acting.

Hey! Get down here, right now!

What?

You know, you better start respecting me or...

Or what, you're gonna uproot my life?

God, you are acting like such a brat!

Oh, how else am I supposed to act, Mom?

You know, I am driving over two fuckin' hours a day

so you can be with your stupid friends

- and that is not enough for you! - Don't call them stupid.

- Come here! Come here! - What?

Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

- Fuckin' don't touch me. - Give me your hand.

What is this? A pentagram. Oh!

You wanna be a Manson chick or something.

It's ridiculous.

Ever since your father died

you've been into that occult crap.

It makes me feel better!

- And my friends... - Your friends?

Your friends are losers, Leah,

like you're becoming.

I give up. I give up.

Oh, you give up?

Moving on is impossible with you.

Every time I look at you, I see your father's face.

God, I wish I could just wipe it off.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I wish you were dead!

Pyewacket.

I call upon you, brought by leaves and seeds.

Hear with my ears and speak with my tongue.

Pyewacket.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Just gimme a second.

- Ah! - Oh, my God, honey.

Let me see.

Honey, what happened?

We need to clean this.

I know, I know.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh.

Alright.

Okay, hold this.

You can tell me..

...if you..

No, I.. It was an accident.

Where did you go?

I just..

Leah.

Leah, I am so sorry.

I should have never said that.

Honey, please forgive me.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God, this is so cute.

Look.. Boo!

Ah, we... we saw this from the street.

- It is the cutest store. - Oh, thank you.

And I was wondering..

D... do you have an application

because I would really love

to work here on the weekends.

I think it would be so much fun.

- Alright. - Wow.

Okay, uh, you know what..

Such a cute store.

I think it would be fun to work there on the weekends.

You alright?

Yeah, let's go get some lunch.

Sounds good.

Mom!

You okay?

Not a scratch.

He said we were lucky.

I can't believe how close that was.

Did you know

that your father drove 13 hours straight

so he could lay eyes on you

as soon as you were born?

He never told me that.

Oh, yeah.

He was away on a job.

He couldn't afford a flight.

I told him it was okay.

I mean, I understood if he couldn't make it.

But, you know your dad.

He rented this car anyway

and he drove straight through.

And the best part is

he did make it.

He rushed into the delivery room.

I mean, I barely remember, but..

...I've never seen him so excited.

And he thanked me

every single night for a year after that.

For what?

You.

He said you were the best thing

that ever happened to him.

I know I've been hard on you.

God, I'm so sorry.

Mom. Mom. Mom.

There's someone in the house.

Leah, I don't hear anything.

I swear there's someone up there.

Okay.

Nothing.

Are you... are you sure?

No. See for yourself.

Go on.

So, let's have a break, when we come back

uh, we will answer questions.

I'm sure you all have many as we do

as we got into today

which is absolutely fascinating.

Oh, fuck. Oh, God.

- Bullshit. - Why would I make that up?

'Cause you're nuts. I don't know.

- Rob... - No, it happened.

It's happening. It's real.

It's fucking real.

I can't believe you wanted to kill

your own mother.

That's the scary part.

I mean, why?

God, I would never do that.

I regret it, okay?

And don't be such a fucking hypocrite, Rob.

You do rituals all the time to try and get girls

and they never fucking work.

Yeah, but that's not black-craft shit.

You want to kill your own fucking mother!

I'm just sayin', if it worked

then maybe you deserve it.

Fuck you.

Fuck you, too.

- Leah. - Lee.

Leah. Come on, sit down.

Fuck.

Listen, Leah, we're here, okay?

We... we wanna help.

Why did you..

Hm. Alright.

But what do you wanna do about it?

I don't wanna go back.

I can't go back.

- Okay. - I'll go.

I think it's cool.

And I wanna see some weird shit.

We can, like, get it on camera or something.

What do you say? Can I?

Can I come up tonight and, like, stay over?

Um, what about your parents?

They don't give a shit what I do.

It's a waste of time.

She's just looking for attention.

Well, we're gonna find out while you sit at home

and jerk off tonight.

Fuck you.

Yeah.

Hey, mom, is it cool if Janice sleeps over tonight?

- Oh, hey, Janice. - Hi.

Did you check with your parents?

Yeah, they said it was cool.

And I'd really like to come up, if that's okay.

Sure. Of course, let's go.

Sick.

Fuck, man. This is brutal.

Aw. I love this.

Thank you, girls.

Thanks so much for dinner. It was really good.

Oh, you're too kind.

Alright.

Okay, I'm off to my room to get some work done.

You girls gonna be alright?

- Yup. - Oh, Janice.

There's a, a pillow and a blanket

on the couch for you.

Okay, that's great. Thanks.

Um, thanks again for letting me stay.

Alright. Goodnight.

Night.

"Thank you, thank you. Yes, thank you."

Shut up. Get back to work.

You have lots of dishes to do.

I'm timing you, you take nine million years.

If you get this shit on my leather jacket, I will kill you.

What?

I'm just happy you're here.

Yeah, man.

Are you gonna put up posters or something in here?

It's so... weird.

Uh, not yet.

Okay, what are we doing?

Get your phone out.

Okay.

Okay, it was.. Are you recording?

Yeah. Wait, hold. There.

It was just up here

and it was making a ton of noise

so, let's just..

You just wanna wait?

Yeah, just give it a minute.

Or should we, like, summon it

like, call its name?

Totally rando, but I would pick Billy Corgan

over, like, any guy.

Hands down, seriously.

Leah, don't worry. I believe you.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Maybe I'm nuts like Rob said.

Urgh! Fuck Rob.

He's just jealous 'cause he likes you

and he knows you're into Aaron.

What? No, I'm not.

Oh, my God. You two, it's too fucking obvious.

Uhh..

Why, did he say something?

Wondering.

Um, I will tell you

if you smoke this joint with me.

Like, your mom moved, like, most of the shit

but, like, all the fuckin' owls.

- Dude, they're everywhere. - Yeah, I don't get it.

She put one in your fucking room.

So she says, she's just, like, watching me.

- It's fucked up. - That shit creeps me out.

Not much creeps me out, but that shit does.

I don't know what it is about owls.

I don't know.

They can turn their heads all the way around.

- And their eyes are huge. - Where did you do it, by the way?

Over there in the woods.

Well, show me, come on. Let's go.

No. It's way too dark out.

We'll use the fucking flashlight on my phone.

It's not that far, right?

What's the point?

Because I want to see it. That's why I came up.

Come on, please?

Where are we going?

- This way? - Yeah.

It's just a little further.

- Watch out. - Huh.

You see it? Right up ahead.

- Oh, yeah. That? - Yeah.

It's perfect.

- This, right? - Yeah, right here.

- Ah.. - Right here.

Yeah, you're right.

It is really creepy out here.

Yeah.

It's really scary.

Heh.

What are you doing?

Janice, stop that.

Hey, stop that.

Good.

Janice?

Janice, what are you doing? Stop.

Hey, where are you going?

Janice!

Janice!

Come back!

Janice?

Janice!

Janice, this isn't funny anymore.

My God.

You're an asshole! I'm leaving.

Wait! Leah, wait!

I'm fucking around. You're so funny.

You are such a loser.

- What? - I was just fucking around.

It isn't funny. I'm stoned.

I know, I'm sorry.

Well, okay, I think I'm just gonna go to bed.

- I'm tired. - Okay.

- I love you. - I love you, too.

Hey, I'm, I'm sorry. I was just, like, fucking around.

Hm. No, that's fine.

I'll... see you in the morning.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Honey?

Honey?

Where's Janice?

It's so strange.

Janice?

Janice?

Leah?

What is it?

My car.

Hey, Janice, are you okay?

Janice, unlock the door.

Janice, what's going on?

- Please open the door. - Hey.

- Take me home. - What?

- Please, please. - Janice.

- Take me home! - Janice!

I just wanna go home!

You need to open the door.

- Please. - Please just unlock the door.

I'll get the keys.

Okay.

Janice?

Janice, what's wrong? What happened?

I'll, I'll make you something to eat.

You'll feel better.

No! I'm not, I'm not going back inside that house!

- Hey... - Don't touch me!

Okay, let's go.

Okay, take out your books

and pick up where we left off.

Chapter two, part two.

From the paragraph that starts with

"Evening was coming on

when he reached home."

Finish the chapter and write a paragraph, uh..

Oh, okay.

No, I really don't know. It was the strangest thing.

I'm worried about her.

Yes, please, keep me posted. Thank you.

Janice hasn't left her bedroom.

Any luck?

I texted her all day, and nothing.

She really scared me.

Do you know if she's going through something?

No, I don't think so.

I got a call from the gift shop

and they want me to come in tomorrow.

I really wanna do this. Please don't get mad.

Why would I get mad?

I won't be able to pick you up from school tomorrow

so you'll have to take the bus.

At first I thought no,

but it'll be good for you.

- What do you think? - Okay.

- You'll be okay alone? - Mm-hmm.

I was really fucking worried about you, man.

Like, are you okay? You weren't answering any of my texts.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Well, what about Janice?

I haven't seen her since she went up with you.

Look, I, I really gotta go.

I'll just talk to you later.

Leah, if I did something, you'd tell me, right?

Yeah, I just really need to go right now, okay?

I'm sorry.

A dark spirit like Pyewacket

is very manipulative.

So am I right to assume that during the ritual

you believed in it as much as you believe

I'm talking to you right now?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Then we have to assume it's here.

You need to think of it as a river.

Evil is simply waiting across on the other side

and you used yourself as a bridge

to bring them over to your side.

And once they fulfill the task you asked of them

they'll start hurting the person they communicated with.

And that's you, Leah.

With black magic, it's thrown back.

It starts with you

and it will end in you.

To undo this, you need to perform

the exact, the exact same ritual

in the same place, but in reverse.

At every step, you ask for forgiveness.

Leah, this is very important.

You have to do this before it gets to your mother

or it's too late.

Pyewacket can take many forms

so don't trust your lying eyes.

Leah?

Leah?

Leah!

Hello?

Hello?

Leah!

Fuck.

911. What is your emergency?

My mom just died.

What is your name?

- I'm... I'm Leah Reyes. - Okay.

- Everything's gonna be okay. - Okay.

Can you just tell me where you are

and exactly what happened to your mother?

I don't know, I don't, I don't even know where I am.

I don't know where I am and I don't know what to do.

- Please help me. - Okay.

- Stay calm. - Leah!

Who's that calling out, Leah?

Can you put them on the phone?

- I don't know. - Leah!

Can you put her on the phone?

Leah? Are you still with me?

Leah, it's nice to hear from you.

- Aaron, please help. - What happened?

Aaron, I can't be here anymore. Please, come get me.

Okay, I can't get the car until later when my parents leave.

No, please, I... I need you right now.

I don't know if I could drive that far.

Aaron, just please come.

Leah.

Come inside.

Close the door.

Where were you?

Where'd you go?

Out for a walk.

With that?

What were you gonna do with it?

I should put it away.

Leah?

Just let me in.

Just open the door.

Leah!

Come outta your room!

Right now!

No.

Oh. Damn!

Please. Please. Please.

Please.

Please. Please.

Please. Please. Please.

Oh, plea.. Please.

Oh, my God, please, please.

- Get away from me! - Honey.

- Get away! - Honey?

Let go of the knife.

Get away from me! No!

No, I know who you really are.

I know who you really are!

Just get, get away from me!

Please, just give me the knife.

No. No. No. No. No.

Don't, don't touch me!

- It's okay. - No.

- Honey. - No.

Don't. Don't.

Leah, what were you doing in the woods earlier?

I was calling for you.

And why do you have a knife?

What were you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna hang on to it tonight.

Hm..

Honey, what is it?

Honey?

What's that smell?

Leah? What are you doing?

Leah?

Leah!

Oh, God! Oh!

Leah!

Leah?

Leah, wake up. Come on, wake up!

Leah! Leah, come on, wake up!

Wake up!

Can you just tell me where you are

and exactly what happened to your mother?

I don't know. I don't, I don't even know where I am.

I don't know where I am and I don't know what to do.

- Please help me. - Okay.

- Stay calm. - Leah!

Who's that calling out, Leah?

Can you put them on the phone?

- I don't know. - Leah!

Can you put her on the phone?

Leah? Are you still with me?

We didn't find your mother's body in the woods, Leah.

The only one we found was in your house

burned to ash.

Was that your mother?

Let's try this again.

How did the fire start?
