For more than 200 years, we Owens women have been blamed for everything that has

ever gone wrong in this town.

Is that why people hate us so much, Aunt Frances?

They don't hate us, sweetheart.

We just... we make them a little nervous.

Let's face it, Chet. We Owens women have always created a stir.

It all began with your ancestor, Maria.

She was a witch.

The first in our family.

And you, my darlings, are the most recent in a long and distinguished line.

Is that why they wanted to hang her?

Because she was a witch?

Well, the fact that our Aunt Maria was a bit of a heartbreaker didn't help.

Nor did it help that most of her lovers had wives on the hanging committee.

But no, I don't think it was either of those reasons.

They feared her because she had a gift.

That has been passed on to you children She had the gift of magic

And

it

was this very gift that saved her life

She was banished to this very island.

With her unborn child growing inside her belly, she waited for her lover to

rescue her.

But he never came.

No one came.

In a moment of despair, she cast a spell upon herself that she would never again

feel the agony of love.

But as her bitterness grew, The spell turned into a curse.

A curse on any man who dared love an Owens woman.

So is that why Daddy died?

From the curse?

Yes, my darling.

Your mother knew.

She heard the beetle ticking for your father's death all day long.

She knew that when you hear the sound of the Death Watch Beetle, the man you love

is doomed to die.

But that's how you came to live with us. We tucked you into our lives then.

We've raised you the best way we know how.

In this house, we have chocolate cake for breakfast.

And we never bother with silly little things like bedtime or brushing our

teeth. But with the sweets.

comes the sour.

So when you find yourself the center of attention... Hi, you want to play?

It's not that they hate you.

It's that, well, we're different.

Jillian? Sally?

You know the only curse in this family?

Sitting right down there at the end of the table.

Your Aunt Fanny. Oh, come on, Jenny. Even you have to admit that any man who

gets involved with an Owens woman is bound to end up six feet under.

Spare me.

What about my poor Ethan?

It was an accident.

It was fate.

It was an accident.

No, no, no, it was fate. Accident. It is fate.

Mommy died of a broken heart, didn't she?

Yes, my darling girl, she did.

Hey, my little witch.

Let's go inside and do some spells.

What about my homework?

Oh, pish, tosh.

You folks are going to learn things in this house that you will never learn in

school.

You know, you've been blessed with a gift.

What about me?

Oh, we don't worry about you, Jilly Bean.

Your talents will emerge in time.

Sally,

just stay right there. Keep working on your spell.

Just keep working on your spells.

Get the bird. Get the book.

I want him so, so much. I can't think about anything else. I don't sleep. He

has to leave his wife. He has to leave her now.

Perhaps you might find one better suited.

No, I don't want anyone else. He's all I think about.

Why the hell else would I come here?

Take the money, Judge.

I want him to want me so much that he can't stand it.

Be careful what you wish for.

I hope I never fall in love. I hope I never fall in love. I hope I never fall

in love. I hope I never fall in love.

I can't wait to fall in love.

He will hear my call a mile away.

He will whistle my favorite song.

He can ride a pony backwards.

What are you doing?

Summoning up a true love spell called Amas Fiditas.

He can flip pancakes in the air.

He will be marvelously kind.

His favorite shape will be a star.

And he'll have one green eye and

one blue.

I thought you never wanted to fall in love.

That's the point.

The guy I dreamed of doesn't exist.

And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart.

And if he doesn't exist, I'll never die of a broken heart.

Sally! Get the door!

Wow.

Sal, you have no idea.

Do you really love him? I mean, enough to marry him?

Oh, come on, Sal, what's enough?

I hate it here.

I want to go where no one's even heard of us. I feel like I'm never going to

see you again.

Of course you're going to see me again. We're going to grow old together.

It's going to be you and me.

Living in a big house, these two old biddies with all these cats.

I mean, I bet we even die on the same day.

You swear?

Honey, if you need your pocket knife.

Yeah.

Your blood.

Our blood.

I love you, Jilly Bean.

Yeah, I love you too.

Good morning.

Hello, boys.

Oh, Charlie.

Looking good.

Oh, God, what was I thinking? Oh, Franny, let it go.

Oh, my goodness, Jillian's in Orlando.

She's in Orlando.

I guess that Roto-Rooter man is history. Well, according to that, he is. This is

insane. She keeps going through all these guys.

Hopefully, someday, she'll find a guy who goes through her.

Hello.

Hello, darling. How are you?

Oh, Jet, just give it up.

Never. God, I miss her.

Oh, sweetie.

Oh, dear.

Oh, Samson, now, just knock it off, okay?

All I want is a normal life.

My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not

necessarily a virtue?

I'd rather denounce a lack of courage.

Well, it's what I want. Do you see this couple here?

He's having an affair with a babysitter, and she can eat a pound cake in under a

minute.

Oh, sorry.

Come along. Come along.

Any moment now.

Where are you going, dear?

Most excellent.

I don't wanna learn the hard way.

Baby, hello.

Oh, no. Goodbye. But you got me like a rocket shooting straight across the sky.

It's the way you love me. It's a feeling like this.

It's centrifugal motion.

It's perpetual bliss.

It's that pivotal moment.

It's impossible.

This kiss, this kiss.

Dear Jillian, Today is our third anniversary, and all I have to show for

it are two beautiful little girls and a husband I just can't stop kissing.

I don't even mind the beard.

I wish you could see us.

No more stones being thrown, no taunts cried out.

Everything is just so blissfully normal.

Life is perfect.

Dear Sal, I'm lying in the sun.

I'm hanging by the pool. I've got a million friends.

You might say that life is perfect.

But I don't care about any of it.

In fact, I only have two words to say to you.

Jimmy Angelo.

Jimmy Angelo.

Angel.

Where are you? Where are you?

Don't do this to me.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, boys.

Catch anything today?

Not much. All right. See you in a bit.

All right.

Hey, Jimmy. What's going on?

I hear you.

I hear you.

Don't. No.

How's Mary doing?

Okay. She's good? Yeah.

No.

That can't be. No.

No.

What's that?

I know you're in there.

Ugh.

We had no idea when we cast the spell. What spell? What are you talking about?

Oh.

Oh, you didn't.

You didn't. Please tell me that my own flesh and blood... It was just a little

push. You wanted so much to be happy.

We never expected that you would truly love him.

Well, I did, and I want him back.

You brought him into my life. Now I want you to bring him back. Bring him back.

I have never asked you for anything. I've never asked you for spells, but do

this. I know you can bring him back. No, dear.

We won't do that.

We don't do that. But you can. You can do this. I know you can. I remember. I

found it here when Mommy and Daddy died. Even if we did bring him back, it

wouldn't be Michael.

It would be something else, something dark and unnatural.

I don't care what he comes back as, as long as he comes back.

Please do this for me.

Please.

Please. Please.

Please.

This is only temporary, so don't get too

comfortable. There'll be no chocolate for breakfast.

Homework will be done after dinner.

Teeth and hair brushed before bed.

And as for you two, my children will never do magic.

Ever.

Mom?

It's time for us to go to school.

Mommy. The same time as yesterday.

And the day before that. And the day before that.

Out of bed, sleepyhead.

Mom, I'm worried about Antonia.

Do you know, she puts on her mouse ears.

She drives around town all occurred up.

Naked.

I'll see you around.

I'm sorry, baby. I'm just so tired.

It's okay, Mommy.

Julie Sally

I

was

just thinking about you.

You're always thinking about me.

Honey,

I just have to go to the bathroom.

Let's go together.

Jimmy, come on.

I'm just kidding, eh?

so sweet oh i could drink a case of you

still i'd be on my feet

i would still

I was really, really happy.

We were going to open up a botanical shop where Mike would get all the

ingredients and I would make the stuff.

He really loved my mint oatmeal shaving cream.

Couldn't stop eating it.

I'm sure all this is really boring to you, but he really made me laugh.

Angela, what kind of name is that?

Bulgarian.

Bulgarian? Yeah,

he's from somewhere near Transylvania.

He has his whole Dracula cowboy thing about him.

He's just so intense. I mean, he talks about our relationship in terms of

centuries.

Sometimes we just stay up all night worshiping each other.

Like bats.

Thank God for Jets Belladonna.

Or I'd never get any sleep.

Why are you taking that stuff?

I'm not using it. I'm just giving it to him every now and then, that's all. So

you're drugging your boyfriend to get a little shut-eye?

Doesn't that seem a little strange to you?

Maybe.

But he's strong.

So much stronger than me.

He can survive the curse.

Yeah.

Do you forgive our mother?

Sometimes.

But you'll never forgive yourself.

Unless you get up and you get dressed.

And you brush your goddamn teeth because your breath stinks.

And you take care of those little girls.

Yeah, you're right.

I love you too, Jollibee.

came in the name of love and left a wake of happiness

and tenderness and sweet

you'd think after 300 years they would come up with a better rhyme

really your troublemaker started this put

the finger down kylie i hope you get chicken box kylie

she was just kidding

It's not a toy with people's lives. Do you understand? This is not a game.

No, you don't guess. And you probably couldn't even if you tried.

She has all this power and she doesn't even use it. I think you really hurt

Mom's feelings.

Kylie thinks that any man who marries us is going to croak. Oh, that's such a

hard one.

What about your grandpa, Jack, and Gina?

Grandma Regina died of a broken heart, didn't she?

How could she do that?

Leave Mama and Aunt Julie behind when they were just little girls?

Why won't she ever talk about it? Was Mama good at spells when she was just a

little girl? How come Mama doesn't do spells now?

What's going on in here?

Nothing. Just making toast is all.

Mm-hmm.

Did you guys finish your homework?

There's a storm coming in. I want you guys to go check all the windows for me,

okay?

Making toast?

I want you both to watch what you say to those girls.

I don't want you filling their heads with any of your nonsense, okay?

We'd never tell them nonsense, dear.

Good night, sweetie. Good night.

Dearest Jilly, sometimes I feel there is a hole inside of me.

An emptiness that at times seems to burn.

I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean.

In the moon tonight, there's a circle around it, a sign of trouble not far

behind.

I have this dream of being whole, of not going to sleep each night wanting, but

still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing,

I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

I just want someone to love me.

I want to be seen.

I don't know.

Maybe I've had my happiness.

I don't want to believe it, but... There is no man, Julie.

Only that moon.

Jillian.

Jillian, let me know. What's wrong?

I'm scared.

Can you come and get me?

Where are you?

I'm taking the first flight out of Logan. I'll need you to watch the kids

for me.

Yes, of course, dear. Just go to Jillian. The children will be fine.

We'll take them to the solstice celebration with us. No, no, no. Why

can't you two just stay here?

No, dear. We can't back out at the last minute. We're on the committee. Yes.

We're presenting. Yes.

Fine, but I do not want them dancing naked under the full moon.

Of course not, dear. The nudity is entirely optional, as you will remember.

Hello?

Hello?

Sally?

The room service here sucks.

Let's get you out of here. Come on. I'm okay.

I'm fine.

It's been really crazy. We've been driving for two weeks. Two weeks

straight. I mean, not even straight. And these zigzags back and forth.

Oh, damn it. And then today he says... He says he wants a jelly donut, right?

And he says to the kid, jelly donut with cream.

And the kid, the kid looked confused.

And I said, Jimmy, jelly's not a cream. And then the kid laughed, and then I

laughed, and then he punched me.

Punched me real hard, that bastard.

Blood on the moon.

I know. Blood on the moon. I know. Blood on the moon.

Uh, uh, uh, where's my tiger's eye?

No, no, I need my tiger's eye. It brings me luck. Is it in here? No, no, no, I

left it. I gotta get my tiger's eye.

It's probably in the back. Jilly?

Jilly, come on!

Jilly.

Jilly, honey, just forget that it... You drive.

You want some?

Nope.

Hey, Sally.

You ever read any books by Louis L'Amour?

Okay,

Louis L'Amour was a foreigner.

things cowboy, just like me, cowboy.

So, Louis would write stories about the rustlers.

Rustlers were really bad guys.

The bell at Donna, it's in my bag.

They would try to steal the cackle.

But before they could sell them, they would try to take away the brand of the

owner with an acid.

or by scrubbing.

Unfortunately, they could never get rid of it, so they would be caught and get

hanged. What are you doing?

Come on.

You can't hide the brand. It's just you and me. Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Shut up! Shut up! Russell isn't branding! Louis Lamar,

who, by the way, is not a foreigner. He's from North Dakota, you asshole!

Just close the door. Just close the door!

Give me the bottle before I plow you into a... Okay, okay, just calm down.

Shut up!

Calm down, calm down.

You know, girls... I'm...

I'm feeling very into sisters right now.

You didn't give him enough.

I gave him plenty.

What's he gonna tell us?

Just stay calm.

Second best.

I'm so sorry. I was blind.

You were always on my mind.

Jimmy, please, baby.

Please, come on.

Come on, baby. I love you. I'm so sorry, Mom. I want to be with you forever. You

know that. I love you. Please, please, please.

Don't do this. I don't believe you.

Go, go, go.

Did you give him Sally? I don't know, Jillian. I wasn't using a measuring cup.

He was trying to kill you.

Come on.

Please,

God, please, if you get us out of this, I'll be good. I'll have babies. I'll go

to the PTA. I have babies, Jillian. I had normal, and I worked really, really

hard to get that normal. But from this moment on, I will never have the normal

again. I didn't mean to ruin your life. I just had no one else to turn to.

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

We have to go to the police. It was self-defense.

With the old slowly poisoning to death self-defense.

Come on, Sally, then we're gonna believe this.

You really should stop smoking so much, Julie.

Why?

I'm probably gonna get life.

I should smoke two at once.

It'll shorten the sentence.

I really don't want to lose my children.

I know.

I don't want you to either.

What are you thinking?

When Michael died, you went to the aunts and you asked them to bring him back,

right? No, but they wouldn't.

Wouldn't?

But not couldn't. No, they were right. They would come back as something dark

and unnatural. Jimmy already is dark and unnatural. I don't care what he comes

back as long as he comes back with a pulse. No, no, no. That is not an

option, Jilly. That is not a choice.

We don't have a choice, Sally. This is our choice.

Omi. Big time.

Omi's gonna be so pissed.

Okay.

Okay, here we go.

She'll be all the way back there, too.

Oh, Sal, watch his balls. I'll watch them.

Spock.

Okay, Jimmy.

I will get you out of this.

But when I do, we are definitely breaking up.

It is over.

What are you...

What are you doing?

Nothing.

So are you sure you want to do this?

Absolutely.

Lips pursed, mid wind, over tongue in motion, teeth on edge.

Good enough, good enough.

Touch bound in smudge of blue sage with braided wheat's jaw.

Insert needles through eyes of corpse.

Through the eye?

In the eye.

No way.

I think we should wait for the aunt.

It's not like he's going to stay fresh, Jillian.

It's now or never.

Okay. I need for you to get me something white to write on top of the star. Chop

-chop.

Fine.

That's actually brilliant. No, this is good. This is good.

Now, we're supposed to say, black is night.

Erase death from our sight.

White is light. White as mighty.

Make it right. Make it right. Black is night. Black is night. Black is night.

White as light, mighty hektate, make it right. I love you. Black as night.

Black as night, erase death from our sight.

White as light, mighty hektate, make it right.

Black as night, erase death from our sight.

White as light, mighty hektate, make it right.

Black as night, erase death from our sight.

Jimmy?

No!

I want you to be my wife!

Can you promise me that?

I want you to be my

wife!

You have the worst taste in men.

Sally? Yeah.

I know this sounds really stupid and everything right now, but I just... I

just really wanted to say, um... Thank you.

Thanks for being my sister.

It's all right. It's just...

Let's just put this all behind us now, okay? Yeah.

What are we gonna tell the odds?

Nothing.

They're here.

What if they don't like me?

A little mugwort will fix that right up.

Kylie, why don't you and I just go to the greenhouse?

I'm so happy to see you, sweetheart.

Don't you worry, dear.

Whoever he was, he'll get what he deserves.

I think a brownie for breakfast would fix you right up. A brownie? A brownie.

You're still doing it? Of course you're still doing it.

You've been away too long. Something's never changed in this house. Too long

you have been away.

Where are they?

Oh, Sal, I love this stuff.

It's great.

You've done a great job.

Jillian, if you're going to work here, maybe you could... I don't know.

Work? Oh, yeah. I'm testing the merchandise.

You guys know where you can reach me? I'll be back if anyone cares.

Did I do something wrong?

Phone tree day.

Phone tree day.

Parents hotline. If there's an emergency like a snow day, they decide who's the

most responsible.

You mean the most popular.

Responsible mother to sound the alarm.

Each mom calls the next one down on the list. It's a big deal to get chosen.

But Sally never gets picked, because everybody knows she's a... different.

Hmm.

Uh, quiet.

Quiet, quiet.

Third name from the top of the phone tree is... Dory Kancher.

Sorry to interrupt.

Can I help you?

I was... Oh, my sister.

Just wanted to see my sister.

Is that a snake tattoo?

Yeah. And there's one on her bow, too.

Yep, that's right.

I'm back.

Hang on to your husbands, girls.

All that's missing now is me naked without my homework.

Ladies, the second from the top of the phone tree will be Abigail Little. Is

this for real?

You know she screwed Coach Halfacre.

Ow!

Don't do that.

It wasn't me. Well, I was you.

Finally.

Oh, I'm so pleased to report this.

The top of the phone tree list is...

It's, um... It's Sally Owens.

Oh,

Sal!

Now that was me.

I am mute.

Toad and frog.

Will of bat, tongue of dog.

Atter's fork and blind worm sting.

Barbados lime is just the thing.

Frag is salt like a sailor's stubble.

Flip the switch and let the cauldron bubble.

Thank you. Thank you.

Make you stay awake

She just made that up. Come on.

Jillian has her own magic.

We all know what it is.

Oh, please.

Since when is being a slut a crime in this family?

Sally, what's going on in this house?

Something's going on. I can smell it.

Yes, it's a very distinct smell. It's a smell of bullshit.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Room fell.

Company's coming.

We had a problem. We handled it. We deserve an explanation.

Right. Come on, Jet, let's go.

No.

No.

No, it's just not possible. I mean, don't even think it. Tell me how Ben got

here, Julie. Tell me how did this bottle get here?

It's not possible.

Leaving like this is a harsh lesson. A lesson they must learn on their own.

What about the little ones?

Not to worry, Jetty. A good piece of Maria's hanging rope will protect them.

You have to promise us you won't take them off.

Not until we come home.

I'll only be gone a short while.

Okay. Do you hear us? Yeah.

Promise? Yeah. Okay.

Love you.

Honey, can I see that for a second?

Yeah, sure. Yeah? Thanks.

Hey.

Where'd you get that ugly thing around your neck? The aunt gave it to us. They

said it would protect us.

Kylie, could you please go get that mint from the garden before your bus gets

here? Thank you.

Where is the other grin?

Honey, please do as I say.

Oh, well, he's out there.

Not while who is out where.

The man under the roses.

What?

I don't see him, sweetie. Are you looking at him now?

He's right there.

Where?

By the roses.

They grew overnight.

Oh, shit.

Okay, sweetie.

We'll get rid of it. You better call the hunts now.

But they left.

What do you mean they left? When did they leave? Where did they go? They said

to give you a message.

Clean up your own mess.

Yeah. You want... Oh, God.

You... You... You... Stop it!

You... Stop it! It's making them grow, Sally!

It's trying to get to us by making them grow!

You... Leave us alone!

Leave us alone!

Stop it, Julie! Stop it!

Is he rising?

Where's the... Is the crown sinking?

Sal, is he... Oh, God.

Okay, go inside. Go inside.

He's trying to get you. Jillian, go inside and take care of the kids.

Early for roses, isn't it?

Can I help you with something?

I sure hope so.

Name's Gary Hallett.

I'm a special investigator at the state prosecutor's office in Tucson.

Well, you're a... You sure are a long way from home, officer.

Yes, ma'am.

I was kind of hoping to talk to your sister, Jillian.

She's around.

She might have some information on a case I'm working on.

Oh, all right. I'll get her.

All right.

Uh, how did you know that I was her sister?

Oh, lucky guess, I guess.

Hmm.

Uh, why don't you come inside?

Julie.

Julie.

Julie. Julie, there's a...

There's a cop downstairs, and he's looking for Jimmy, and he wants to talk

to you, and I think I'm having a heart attack.

Okay, okay, just calm down.

Calm down.

What is the question? The question is, how much can he know?

Well, gosh, well, he seems to know an awful lot because he's come all the way

from Arizona.

And I know this sounds really strange, but I don't think I can lie to him. Oh,

my God, of course you can lie to him. Breathe, breathe.

Here is the story.

Here's the story.

I left him. I left him.

Because he hit me.

And we haven't seen him since. And it's as simple as that.

And you just let me handle the rest. Okay, good. All right? Okay.

Is he cute?

Yeah, nice, you know.

In a very penal code sort of way, yeah.

Okay, I left him because she hit him, and, uh...

Just herbs.

You know, from the garden.

Oh.

Uh... So what, uh, what brings you to the island?

This.

You read my letter?

Yes, ma'am, I did.

It was a very personal letter.

Yes, ma'am, it was.

Um... What?

I'm sorry.

You seem very familiar. Hello there.

Morning, Miss... Morning, Miss Owens.

Good morning, Mr... Mr. Hallett.

Hallett. Listen, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here. I need to find

your boyfriend, James Angeloff.

I... I don't know where he is.

I wouldn't exactly call him my boyfriend. He's more, uh... He's more

like a big mistake.

Is that his handiwork there?

Mm-hmm. If a man hits me, he only does it once.

Can I, um, take a peek at your... Wow.

Now, um, I can tell that you've never touched a woman in anger all your life.

May I have my hand back, please?

Sure. So what you're trying to tell me is that you have no idea where he is? I

told you he hit me, and I haven't seen him since.

When was that?

Three days ago, right, Sally? Yeah, three days. Three days.

Excuse me.

Uh, Sally, whose car is that in the driveway? The one with the Arizona

plates?

Oh, that's my car.

Oh, that's your car.

Plate number 229, MOB.

That's James L. Angelo's car.

Come on now.

We... We stole it, and it's a crime.

I know this, but he basically kidnapped her, and it... Whoa, whoa, whoa.

He kidnapped you?

Well, no, no, he didn't really kidnap her. He just sort of, like, just a

little nap. No, she was... There was a car, and she would... You know, I think

she... What happened was that she...

She just... You should know she has the worst taste in men.

All right.

Well, you do. So, anyway, I picked her up, and I drove her right back here, and

we would be so happy to give him back his car because it is a crime, and as

you say, you just don't know where he is to... Just got a little... Oh, give him

back that car.

So, basically, nobody knows where he is.

I'm sorry, what?

So you don't have any idea where he is? Mm-mm.

Would you mind if I just took a look around?

Mm-mm.

This young lady's name was Phoebe Stone.

Two years ago, she was found strangled lying on the side of the highway. Her

body had been marked.

with a kind of a brand burned right into the flesh.

Any help you ladies can give me in locating this ex-friend of yours would

sure be appreciated.

Hey!

She's all yours.

Go arrest her!

Their niece owns a shop where they cook up a special placenta. And that's why

the ants don't age. I tell you, they just don't age. She's selling placentas?

A placenta bar.

They all jump off the roof and fly.

When they get mad at you, they hex you. I don't know about the Bulgarian, but I

would not be surprised if he turned up in a ditch somewhere.

Sarah, that is not true. She's not saying they murdered him. Just that

maybe they shook his hand and then he died. It's very mysterious.

If any man dared take on an Owens woman, he lived briefly in the euphoria of her

love until meeting an untimely death.

The curse.

Witch, yeah.

Evil, no.

I mean, you get your psychos now and then. You know, animal slaughter,

ritual, human disembowelment. But that's really pretty rare.

See, it's a pagan label. It's Sally.

Hey, Sal.

Hi.

She's definitely not into that stuff.

No. No.

Miss Ellis, I have a boat to pick with you.

Can I do it for you, Dwight?

I could have gone to a qualified doctor to tend to this scalp condition of mine.

Now, the more I use, the less it works. The product doesn't work. Well, that's

because it doesn't go on your head.

Well, if I don't put it on my head, where the hell else would it go?

Try to remember.

My mistake.

Thank you.

Strange town.

Never spent this much on shampoo before.

In my life.

Am I under some kind of surveillance?

Should you be?

Well, if there's something you want to know, ask me. I already did.

And all's I can tell you is there appears to be something missing from

your story.

No.

Listen, I want to talk to you some more, but I got to finish up some homework

here. I was about to come by your house tomorrow morning.

Fine. Okay.

10 a.m.? Fine.

Okay.

That's a date.

Jimmy.

Go away.

Okay, to banish unwanted persons, it says you need blessing seeds. All right.

Blessing seeds. What about Nigella seeds? It's the same thing. Oh. Good.

Good. Good.

Why can't we tell Mommy we're going to send the policeman away? Because your

mommy likes to pretend that she doesn't do magic, and we have to banish this man

for your mommy's own good.

Well, blessing seeds, right, right. What else do we need?

Antonia, I told you to listen out the door for Mr.

Hallett.

Blessing seeds, blessing seeds, right, right. Oh, yeah, milk thistle.

Anything here. Was this Mommy's?

Huh?

Where did you get that?

You can flip pancakes in the air. I'll have one green eye, one blue.

Hear my call a mile away.

Was it about Daddy?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah.

But Daddy had brown eyes.

You know, um, the truth is this wasn't about your daddy.

This was when your mommy was little and she was... She was trying to invent a

guy who didn't exist to protect herself.

It's crazy.

But... You know, she loved your daddy. Oh, she loved him very, very much.

I can't wait to fall in love.

Kylie.

Kylie, listen to me.

Do you, um... Do you ever put your arms out and spin and spin and spin really,

really fast?

She does it all the time.

She does?

Well, that's what love is like.

It makes your heart race. It turns the world upside down.

But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still,

you can lose your balance.

You can't see what's happening to the people around you.

You, uh... You can't see that you're about to fall.

Don't be sad, Aunt Jillian.

I won't let you fall down.

He's here! He's here! He's here! Make sure you see her back. Go!

We came for breakfast.

We're having pancakes.

No, actually, I just came here to talk to your mom.

Great. She's having pancakes, too. Come in, come in.

Do you have a gun?

Mm-hmm. Can I see it?

Mm-mm.

He's here for breakfast.

I have a question or two.

He's gonna stay!

He's gonna stay! Oh, good, good luck. Shh, he's gonna stay. Go back out there

and keep them away from here.

Belladonna. It's a sedative.

People put it in their tea to relax, calm their nerves.

Some people also use it as a poison.

Which people?

Which people?

Aha. Witches.

Witches. I guess you found me out, huh?

Yeah. Yes, I did.

You should come around here on Halloween.

You'd really see something then.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, we all jump off the roof and fly.

We kill our husbands, too.

Or is that outside your jurisdiction?

Do you have any idea how strange this all sounds to me? I got people telling

me that you're up here cooking up placenta bars, that you're into devil

worship. No, no, there's no devil in the craft.

So what kind of, uh, craft do you do?

Do I do?

Mm. I manufacture bath oils.

And soaps, and hand lotions, and shampoo.

And beyond some, they like to meddle in people's love lives.

Magic isn't just spells and potions.

Your badge.

It's just a star.

Just another symbol.

Your talisman.

You can't stop criminals in their tracks, can it?

It has power because you believe it does.

Wish you could believe in me.

Miss Owens.

Hmm? Are you hiding James Angelo?

Not in this house.

Did you or your sister kill James Angelo?

Oh, yeah. A couple of times.

Antonia, could you make more of a mess?

I'm cooking.

I can see that.

Hey, there.

Have you ever seen a saguaro cactus?

No?

Step aside you well you're about to

I assume you girls don't want any pancakes.

No, we want them.

Careful, they tend to use them as frisbees.

Can you ride a pony backwards?

Backwards, forwards, sideways, you name it.

Okay, first troll.

Put it on your lap. This is not yours. Oh, that's all right.

And if you're anything like my girls, here.

Wow. Keep you clean.

That's cozy, huh?

What? Hi, Gary.

Hi. I can call you Gary, can I?

Why not?

Coffee? You must try some of my syrup.

Oh, here's the syrup.

i guess they didn't want to eat that i guess not

Oh, wow. I've been looking for this.

This is his party trick, right?

See what I mean?

Yeah. Can I have it back? What do you two think you're playing at here?

What do you mean?

You better get yourselves a damn good lawyer and don't even think about

leaving town.

What was in that syrup?

We just stick to our stories, you know? No body, no crime. It's... Oh,

I'm sorry.

I... I'm feeling like shit. I'm not sleeping. I just... I mean, my God,

Julie, that's all you can think about, isn't it? You.

It's all about you.

I don't want to fight. Don't you walk away from me!

I'm sick and tired of putting up your mess.

Yeah, you're right. You're always right, Sally.

Oh, one big mess.

Just one big mess.

Well, at least I live my life. And you hate me for that because it scares the

hell out of you.

Jillian, I don't hate you.

Look at you. You spend all your energy just trying to fit in and be normal.

But you're never going to fit in, Sally. Because we're different.

And so are you girls.

You leave them out of this.

Okay? All my life, I have wished I had even half your talent.

You're... You're wasting yourself, Sal.

I want you out of here. I want you gone.

Okay, fine.

I'm gone.

Good.

What? What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Doing the right thing.

No, no, no! You are not gonna go and tell him what happened!

Funny, because the moment that man walked into the house, that's all I seem

to want to do. What are you going to do, get down on your knees and beg for

mercy?

You want me to be true to myself, huh?

Then watch this.

It was Jimmy's ring.

Oh, really?

I know you knew that, but I needed to tell you.

Yeah, well, I was serious back there.

You best get yourself a lawyer before you talk to me. I don't want a lawyer.

All right.

Come on.

Excuse me.

I wasn't expecting company.

You could have yourself a seat.

I'll hear you out if you look at that stuff.

How many times did you read my letter?

You? I have to study all the evidence.

Okay, you wanna sit down?

This is the testimony of Sally Owens, March 8th, 1998.

You gonna sit down?

Where is James Angelo?

I think he's in the spirit world.

You think he's dead?

No, I think he's haunting us.

What evidence did you get from reading my letter?

Did you or your sister kill James Angelo?

Jillian didn't kill anybody.

Jillian did.

Jillian didn't, but you did.

Huh?

Did you?

Did you?

What if I told you I did? What would you do?

What, would you send me to jail for the rest of my life, all because the world

was short of men like Jimmy Angeloff? It's not for you or me to decide how he

should be punished.

He has to be held accountable.

Well, he has been punished.

You really should get a lawyer's advice before we go any further.

Now listen, I know you're in some kind of trouble, all right?

If you'll trust me and tell me what you know,

I promise you I will do everything I can to keep you safe.

Oh, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't. I can't either, I'm sorry.

I can't.

I was born with it.

No, no, no.

It's okay, it's okay

Makes me homesick.

What's wrong?

Can't catch your tongue?

what was that sally i mean that was him wasn't it is it i mean is he gone or

what yes you killed a spirit but i'm the one who took his life but i will tell

you everything you need to know i'll tell you how i did it i'll tell you

where i buried him i'll tell you what i did it with i'll tell you just a goddamn

second all right one step at a time i took an oath to uphold the law all right

i thought i came here to bring in the bad guy because generally that's what i

do

You asked me how many times I read your letter.

I must have read it about a thousand times.

I know now that it was your letter more than anything else that brought me here.

It was you.

And I'm all mixed up about that.

The reason that...

You're here and you don't know why it's because I sent for you When I was a

little girl I Worked a spell

So I would never fall in love I

Asked for qualities in a man that I knew couldn't possibly exist

But you do.

You're saying what I'm feeling is just one of your spells?

Yeah, it's not real.

And if you stay, I wouldn't know if it was because of the spell, and you

wouldn't know if it was because I didn't want to go to prison.

All relationships have problems.

I'm right, aren't I?

You don't know, do you?

Well, you do what you do, and I do what I do, and...

We'll see where we end up.

Okay? Okay.

Curses only have power when you believe in them.

And I don't.

You know what?

I wished for you, too.

Mom?

Come on.

Oh, dear.

It seems we've not arrived in the nick of time.

Wow.

I see our instincts are getting a little rusty.

He's squatting inside her like a toad. And this is what comes from daddling.

You can't practice witchcraft while you look down your nose at it. I know.

I know.

Just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it. We have to banish him. We

have to force his spirit back into the grave. We need a full coven.

Nine women.

Twelve's better.

Do you have any friends?

Linda! Hi, it's Sally.

I'm activating the phone tree. Look, you know the stuff that everyone's always

whispering about me? The hexes, spells, the... Well, here's the thing.

I'm a witch.

I got the best news.

Sally. just came out what a fabulous affirmation apparently her

sister just got out of a very bad relationship and now the guy will not

leave her alone

Oh, oh, can you bring a broom?

to be shy. Come on in. Grab yourselves a spoon.

You can stir right in.

And then I thought if you just get right over here, you grab that spoon, you dig

right in.

Doesn't that look great? And the fumes, I have to tell you, the fumes are great

for the pores.

Not to mention sealing his nasty spirit back into the grave.

Oh, once I was halfway across town, my daughter had a nightmare and I swear to

God I could hear her cry.

You're a little witch in all of this.

Well, Sarah, I didn't expect to see you here.

Well, you know that ever since I was a little girl, I've wanted to see inside

your house.

Well, thank you for coming.

Is this okay?

Well,

ladies, let's begin.

All right, ladies, kick a broom, form a circle.

I've been strung out by a guy before, but this is... Oh, Sally.

Sally.

Would each of you now pick up your brooms, hold them at staff length,

handle to brush.

Remember that as we go forth, it is only with our hearts beating as one that we

can save the life of this child.

Are we supposed to say them?

Ah!

Ah!

Stay with me, stay with me, Chilly, Chilly. He wants me.

Just me.

No.

Everyone will be safe. No. Just let him take me.

Also... Don't die on me, Chilly Hans, please.

Because we're supposed to die together, remember?

At the same time, you promised me that, and this is not that day.

I love you, Kelly.

I've got it. I've got it. Get them back in the circle.

Hey, Jimmy, I got a worm with your name on it.

Yeah.

You thirsty?

Is this what you want?

This?

You can't...

My blood.

Your blood. Our blood.

Maria's blood.

Now. Put her in. Put her in.

I

love

you, Julia.

Wonder if that would

work on my ex-husband come on ladies.

angelov's cause of death was accidental

Jewelry found in the ashes of the structure provided positive

identification.

Sincerely, Gary Hallett, Special Investigator.

I don't think he's in there, Sal.

What would you do, Julie?

What wouldn't I do for the right guy?

Do you always trust your first initial

feeling?

In the crystalline knowledge of you Drove me

like a magnet To the sea

To the sea,

Can love travel back in time and heal a broken heart?

Was it our joined hands that finally lifted Maria's curse?

I'd like to think so.

There are some things, though, I know for certain.

Keep rosemary by your garden gate.

Plant lavender for luck.

And fall in love whenever you can.
