Original subtitles

Chamo-me Melinda Gordon.

Sou casada

e vivo numa cidade pequena

e tenho uma loja de antiguidades.

Posso parecer igual a si.

Mas, desde criança,

Soube que podia falar com os mortos.

"Está tudo bem querida."

A minha avó chamava-lhes "espíritos retidos".

Estão presos aqui por terem assuntos a resolver,

com os vivos e vêm pedir-me ajuda.

Para vos contar a minha história, tenho de vos contar a deles.

O melhor das antiguidades é

a sua ligação com o passado,

e as histórias que trazem consigo.

As coisas antigas estão na moda,

e estes casacos de 1930 vendem-se muito.

Este fazia parte do património da Thelma Sedgwick,

Mas o mais importante, senhoritas,

é que fica giro com calças de ganga.

Tu.

Quanto dinheiro costuma fazer?

Essa é uma excelente pergunta.

Graças a Deus que acabou.

Então? Até que foi divertido.

Se não trabalhasse à noite esta semana,

voltava amanhã.

Eu preferia enfiar algo no olho

a ter de voltar.

Parece que apanhaste um público difícil.

Não. Acho que não perceberam a ideia.

Para eles, uma antiguidade é um leitor de MP3 sem ecrã vídeo.

Como correu a conversa da venda da casa?

Bem, disse-lhes o de sempre,

que teriam um milhão de dólares antes dos trinta.

Funcionou. Bom.

Aquela não é a...

Raios, esqueci-me do nome.

A miúda nova.

Sim, a Village Java.

Tens aí um bocado de café.

É o baton dela, estúpida.

Pois, enganei-me.

Hey. Let's go.

É assim que eu te imagino no liceu.

Não era bem assim.

Força, vais ficar bem.

Fá-lo, fizeram-no a ti.

Kimberly, estamos à procura de uma possivel fractura aqui.

Não pode estar partido. Já temos duas miúdas a menos

e as semi-finais estão à porta.

Diz-lhe.

Não vamos entrar em pânico até termos um raio-x.

Pode estar só torcido.

É culpa tua, empurraste-me.

-Não me parece que... -Nem sequer estava perto de ti.

Viu o que aconteceu?

Sim, mais ou menos. Pareceu-me um acidente.

Não a vi no refeitório hoje de manhã?

Vim por causa da semana da carreira. Sou a Melinda Gordon.

Jackie Boyd.

Sou a treinadora da claque.

Acha que ela está fora? Bem, não é só ela.

Tivemos mais acidentes nas últimas semanas.

Já temos três miúdas a menos. Isso deixa a pirâmide torta.

Ok, pessoal, todos têm coisas melhores para fazer,

então vão fazê-las.

Aqui tem, um descafeinado.

Obrigada. Como te chamas?

Madison, Maddy. Qualquer um.

Sente-se bem?

Sim, o... o dafé estava quente.

Desculpe.

Lá está a miúda gótica a trabalhar.

E o acidente com a chefe de claque? Foi estranho?

Screw it. I've got chem lab. I need my buzz.

No, not really.

I mean, that's why there's seat belt laws.

Two non-fat capps, please.

And could you maybe make those better

than that piss water you gave me yesterday?

Sure. I'd be delighted to.

Talk about a walking fashion faux pas.

I mean, that nose thing. Fine, you can deal with it.

But those sh...

My...

I'm so sorry. What are...?

I don't know how that happened.

Do you know how much this costs?

You are gonna pay for this.

I don't know how it happened.

Hey. Hi. How's your cheerleader?

Which one? The one that fell out of the moving car,

or the one that fell 10 feet off the bleachers?

Well, I was gonna see if I could come by your practice,

but maybe now is not a good time.

No. Maybe you should.

It might be good for the girls to have an audience.

One, two, three, four, sharp!

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Smile, girls! Three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Energy! Two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Do it again.

Do it.

Do it.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Come on, girls.

Do it!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Sharp, girls! All right, do it again.

Watch out!

Everybody okay? Everybody all right?

Why are you doing this? I can help you.

They did it to me.

You are so dead.

Hey, I didn't do anything, except for stand here,

watch you being lame. "Go, team. Rah, rah."

Look, Maddy. Whatever creepy mojo you're into,

it's not gonna work.

I don't care how many lizard heads you bite off.

We're going to regionals. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Just let it go. Don't stress.

You're right, Curt. We wouldn't want her to stress.

She might mess her hair.

You ever think all this bad luck is just karma

for you bagging your dead friend's guy?

You know what? She is so noxious, okay?

She's not worth it. She never was.

You had a cheerleader die recently.

Yeah. Tais.

Just about this time last year.

It was an accident.

A cheerleading accident?

No, it was really a freak thing.

She got locked in the boiler room.

She died trying to get out.

Do you know why she was down there?

I'm not sure, but it's kind of a hangout.

Well, it was.

Since the accident, no one goes down there.

Why are you asking?

Well, it's just that, um,

grief can come out in such weird ways.

And I'm sure that all of this has really thrown the team.

I know a little bit about grief too.

And sometimes the best thing the do

is to just keep focused and work your butt off.

Get through it.

That's what I try to teach these girls anyway.

Maybe they need another outlet.

Look, they've had counseling. They've had time off.

All they need to do is focus now.

Hey, you know, it was,...

It was intense, what happened with Rana and Maddy. What's up?

I give up trying to figure out these girls' social lives,

but clearly, Maddy's one that just doesn't fit in.

Melinda,

I heard about what happened today.

You did?

You can tell me. Is it true?

Is what true?

That you're

a total freak.

Freak!

Freak.

A total freak. Ha-ha-ha!

Freak!

Hey! Open up!

Tais, what happened down here?

Please. I want to help you.

I want justice.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

That was my fault.

No. It's fine.

Hey, uh, you're that antique chick, right?

Yeah. It pretty much feels that way.

Well, way to keep going, even though nobody was listening.

Awesome.

Can I ask you a question?

Ok.

Well, according to Maddy, you were Tais' boyfriend.

So why do you think all these accidents are happening?

I don't know.

I guess everybody's still a little freaked out,

especially Rana.

Especially?

Yeah. They were, like, best friends.

You know, really tight.

And now you're going out with Rana?

Well, yeah. But it wasn't like...

I didn't... I didn't mean it that way. Heh.

Is that a yearbook?

Yeah.

Can I borrow it?

Sure. What for?

Well, because, you know, I'm asking,

and you're a nice guy who wants to help out the antique chick.

Cool.

Cool.

Rana.

Do it. Do it. Do it.

What's happening?

Do it!

Why are you doing this? What do you want?

Who are you talking to?

Do it to them. They did it to you.

"Do it to them. They did it to you."

What does that mean?

Ok. Why are you doing our justice cheer?

Do it! Do it!

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

I can't breathe.

That'll get you air. Let's get out.

Don't touch me! You're a freak.

What the hell is this?

No one else was in there.

Ok, I'm sorry about all this.

I'll figure it out, ok?

Yeah.

All right. See you tomorrow.

She's a little freaked out.

Yeah. I imagine she would be.

How did you get to be in the locker room?

I was in the gym, and I heard her screaming.

What were you doing in the gym?

Wait a minute. You're not thinking...

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Rana said you were talking to someone,

but there was no one else there.

Ok, it may have appeared that way, but...

Look, Melinda, I appreciate it if you're trying to help.

But how about you just stick to Career Week, ok?

Sorry.

Jackie,

what's the justice cheer?

Why?

Rana was saying it before.

She was upset so I thought maybe it made her feel better.

It's a football cheer, when we're losing.

Push it, push it Push it on through

Do it to them Like they did it to you

Curt said that Tais and Rana were best friends.

Why is Tais attacking her?

You said Curt's going out with Rana now.

Case closed. I don't think so.

Otherwise she'd be going after Curt too. And she isn't.

But there is the Goth girl, Maddy.

And Rana accused her of being into some kind

of creepy mojo stuff.

You know, maybe Maddy's into some kind of witchcraft.

What, do we believe in witchcraft now?

Who am I not to believe in anything?

Besides, it would explain

why Tais is hanging out with the social outcasts

and attacking her best friend.

High school.

It makes Washington politics look like preschool.

There's not much else I can do at the high school.

You should have seen the way the coach looked at me,

like I was a total freak.

And that's how I felt, you know, like a total freak.

I was right back in my old high school,

and everybody was looking at me like I have two heads.

I've seen your high school pictures.

In fact, I've looked at them quite a lot.

You were never a freak.

A big nerd maybe, but not a freak.

You're really good at comforting me.

Anytime. You want some more tea?

Sure, Ok.

Please, you've gotta help me.

Peggy will fail science if I don't get it turned in.

Ok, not now.

Freak. She's a nice girl.

She's not very science-minded,

but, oh, man, she's cute.

Look who's here.

It's in my locker right there. It's in my locker.

It's fourth. She needs it right now. Five, 22, 10.

Say it. Five, 22, 10.

Ok, I am not your errand girl, all right?

Now, go into that light.

There are some very nice

non-science-minded girls in there.

So just shoo, please.

Melinda?

Who are you talking to?

You ok?

Yeah, sorry. I just drifted for a minute.

All right. I'm going to go up.

Ok. I'll be up soon.

I just don't know how this is any of your business.

You know what? It's not.

But I'm asking anyway.

Jackie told me that you and Tais were friends.

So? I was stupid once.

You think I locked her in the boiler room?

Did you?

Yeah. Killed her dead.

Good riddance too.

You know, I am impressed by how tough you are.

But I am just trying to find out

what happened before Tais died,

and if it has anything to do with what's happening now.

I thought we were friends.

I was wrong.

So why did you join the team?

I was into dance.

Modern stuff, my own choreography.

I was doing a piece one day on the field.

It was my second week. Nobody even talked to me.

But Tais, she saw what I was doing,

and asked me to be on the team just like that.

Is that when you became friends?

Tais was the only one who never treated me like I was a freak.

And if you were cool with Tais, then you were in.

Everyone liked my house the best

because my dad let us stay up late, eat junk food.

It was the best when it was just the three of us.

We'd read out of our journals and talk about everything.

What boys we liked, school,

problems with our families,

our deepest, darkest secrets.

Man,

I really trusted them.

I was popular. I had friends.

And I was really good at something.

And then I woke up, and it was all just a dream.

The end.

So what happened?

Why'd you wake up?

You ask too many questions.

Bye.

Hey, Maddy.

Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

Do you know her?

Did you bring the herbs?

Ready.

Fire, water, moon, and sun We come to you all as one

The wrath and ire That she creates

Return to her a crueler fate

Fire, water, moon, and sun

We come to you all as one

The wrath and ire That she creates

Return to her a crueler fate

Yes.

They left me to die.

You have no idea which of those girls

was burned in effigy last night?

Whoever it is is Maddy's next target.

All right,

so a group of outcasts get together

to put hexes on cheerleaders.

You know, if word gets out,

this could be a pretty popular teen sport. Heh.

Except these girls are clueless,

because it's not spells that are bringing down cheerleaders.

Tais is.

Why would Tais want to hurt her friends?

I don't know. Maybe she thinks

they're responsible for her death.

You think those herbal pouches they found in the boiler room

have something to do with it?

Doubt it.

Maddy didn't want Tais to be a part of her ritual.

She didn't even know that she was there.

But she did mean to hurt cheerleaders.

Right. So maybe her coven's angry energy

is influencing Tais somehow.

If they were down there in the boiler room with those herbs,

maybe Tais attached herself to them there.

So the justice that Tais is looking for

is about Maddy and her friends, not her.

That's because she didn't read

the first rule of the Wiccan faith:

"Do no harm to others."

Ok, well, maybe this is the teen angst version of Wicca.

Six, seven, eight, and one,

two, three, four, five, up.

Good. Bring it down. Up.

Good, you guys.

Come on. I'm fine.

Drop it. You're not working out on that leg.

Up. Yes! Up.

Thayer, you left it a little late. Good.

And go!

Beautiful!

Stand back. Give her some space. Call 911.

Back up, back up. Don't move her!

What's going on?

Trying to wrap my head around

all these accidents. Jackie!

Jackie, what happened?

A girl fell in practice.

She was out for a few minutes,

but they think she'll be okay.

I'm so sorry.

I should have canceled the season before it got this bad.

I don't think that would've helped.

You know, you said something to me before,

that you know something about grief.

I lost my little brother five years ago.

He was only 9.

And I never let myself stop to think about it. Never.

I took this job,

tried to make a difference,

kept busy.

And I thought the same thing should happen

with these girls, you know?

That they'd get over it quicker

if they just kept moving forward.

Jackie, everybody has to feel their feelings,

no matter how much it hurts.

I feel them, all right. I just don't talk about them.

And I guess I expected the same thing

with these girls, you know?

For them to just suck it up and go on.

I told them Tais was the heart of the team

and they were the soul.

Well, you were right about that.

And you did get these girls to the semifinals.

So there's something good in all of this.

Yeah, beat up, demoralized,

and wondering who's gonna fall on their ass next.

"Way to go, Jackie."

You know what? This is not your fault.

Okay? Maybe there is just some bad energy around the team.

Not for long.

Cut the crap. I know what you're doing.

I'm a dabbler in the spirit world myself.

Oh. You Wiccan? I don't think so.

Yeah, except I skipped witchcraft

and went straight to seeing dead people.

I saw Tais' spirit in your fire.

Oh, see, now I know you're full of it,

because if Tais was here,

we'd be the last people she'd hang with.

It's not your hexes that are hurting cheerleaders. Tais is.

Well, if that is true, that is, like, really beautiful.

That is like the ultimate poetic justice.

Your negative energy is like a drug to Tais.

And I'm asking you to stop until I can cross her over.

Why should I help Tais?

If you don't, you're no better than them.

That girl turned on me and all the others.

Maddy, please don't do this.

Try and stop me.

Jackie told me that you didn't really want to talk to me.

Are you serious? In the locker room,

you were, like, totally talking to yourself.

Then you went all "Rambo" and broke that window.

What do you think's going on, Rana?

Do you think Maddy's doing something?

Maddy is like the devil, okay?

She was totally normal one day,

and then she's out of, like, a Tim Burton movie the next.

Right. After you guys turned on her.

Yeah. How good a move was that.

It was like I saw the writing on the tea leaves.

I think you mean the writing on the wall.

What are you, my English teacher now?

Whatever. I just know that as we speak,

Maddy's probably sticking some big pin into a doll

with my name on it.

What happened with you and Maddy,

with everybody and Maddy?

You mean, why did we kick her off the team?

I got the feeling that she quit.

In her dreams.

We totally exited Maddy because of what an enormo liar

she turned out to be.

We'd just found out that we'd made the semifinals.

Maddy was supposed to fly out to France for the break,

but we were so psyched that we wanted to tell her,

catch her beforehand.

We were totally floored by what happened next.

Mr. Strom?

Dad, that was Mrs. Crawley.

She wants you to send the car to the airport.

The place wasn't even theirs.

Her dad was like Jeeves the butler, or whatever.

You know, it was just some rich family's summer house.

I totally lost all respect for her after that.

Because she wasn't rich?

No.

Well, yeah, but... I mean, come on.

She was poor, but I could have gotten over that.

You know, I'm not a total bitch.

So, what was it really?

I mean, I trusted her. I told her everything.

And she lied to my face.

Our entire friendship was just a big fake-out.

I couldn't be friends with her after that.

Neither could Tais.

Must be nice to be so sure about everything.

Not always.

It just got me.

Okay, I know it's wrong that Maddy lied,

but I don't think those girls would have been friends with her

if she hadn't.

And if those girls just cared more about who people were

and less about what they look like,

or how much money they had,

or if they made fools of themselves in a hallway...

I'm sorry. They're just so cavalier.

They have no idea how much pain they inflict, you know?

When you're already at your most vulnerable in life.

You know, I wish I had known you back then.

I'd have kicked some ass and taken names.

You would have, wouldn't you?

Hey, tell me what you're doing before I have to go.

Remember those herb pouches that I found at the boiler room?

Well, I did a search on all the witchcraft and spell sites,

because I thought maybe it was a curse,

but nothing was coming up.

So then I did a broader search.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Or maybe it does.

Look, I don't have anything else to say to you.

I found this in the boiler room,

and I thought maybe you had put it there.

Good going, Sherlock.

I didn't really know why until I looked up what it meant.

A spell for forgiveness.

Rana told me about the lie you tried to pull off with them.

Is that what you needed forgiveness for,

or was it something else?

Did you do something to Tais?

Look, I-I didn't ask to be in their stupid clique.

They invited me.

What did you do to Tais?

What did you need forgiveness for down in that boiler room?

Tais sent me a note before she died.

She said that she wanted to meet up and talk,

that our friendship was too important to lose

over something so petty.

So, what happened?

I never went.

I was too mad or ashamed

or just messed up.

I never went,

and Tais died down there waiting for me.

So you didn't actually do anything to Tais.

No.

And, you know, I don't care if you believe me or not.

I'm just really sick of the whole thing.

I'm not going back out there.

I'm done with the spells. I've made my point.

If you want Tais to move on, tell her to move on, okay?

All right. That's it.

I want to talk to you this instant!

You sound like my mom.

You can stop now, okay?

Maddy broke up the coven. She's really over it.

And you may still be feeling negative energy,

but it'll wear off.

That is so random.

Like Maddy has anything to do with why I'm here.

You're feeding off of her energy, all of the Goth girls.

Their anger is giving you strength.

Yeah, right.

Why would you go after them?

I mean, they were your friends,

your own kind. No.

I hate them. I hate them all.

Rana, come on.

Rana, don't. Wait.

Hey! Rana!

No!

Hey, guys.

Hey! Hey!

Ok, people, let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go do this!

Let's take this one home. Rana!

One, two, three!

Grandview!

Rana! Rana, help!

They left me in there to die.

They didn't care, especially not Rana.

Took my boyfriend, the team...

Maddy was the only one who cared.

I felt badly about how I treated Maddy.

Ok, so all you have to do now is tell Maddy that.

She'll be really happy, believe me.

She feels like she's responsible.

I know who's responsible.

And Rana knows.

And all those pretty cheerleaders,

they're never gonna be champions without me.

Is that what this is about?

You didn't get your chance, so they don't get theirs?

This is about justice.

And I'm just doing to them what they did to me.

This better be good.

I don't get up this early for anybody.

It's important. I don't want one of your girls

to get hurt before the semifinals.

Is that what you think, that the girls are caving under pressure?

Yeah. Something like that.

I need you to get ahold of Rana and Maddy.

They'll be here in 30 minutes.

Ok. And I need you to tell them

to meet us in the boiler room.

And I need you to have a little faith.

Ok. No one else is getting hurt.

It's time to solve this.

Rana, I need you to tell me what went wrong

between you and Tais.

You think I had something to do with...

This isn't Judge Judy. Just tell the girl what she wants to know.

We had a fight. So what?

Fine. I don't need you guys. You want to be that way,

I'm out. I don't need you.

Good riddance. The last thing we need

is a fake we can't trust.

It's true, Maddy. I like you,

but the trust isn't there. When we fly into the air,

we need to know someone will be there to catch us.

That's bull. When you guys thought I was rich,

you didn't worry about me catching you.

You're kicking me off the team because I'm not like you.

And I am so glad.

Screw you both.

We weren't too hard on her, were we?

Maddy, what happened next?

I, ...

I got a note from Tais

to meet her here.

But I didn't go.

But Rana did.

I sent them both notes.

They were both supposed to meet me there.

Just like now.

You got a letter too, didn't you?

How did you know?

Remember when I told to you

you were gonna have to have some faith?

Ok.

Tais is here with us right now

in spirit.

You freak! You brought her ghost back.

Stop it.

Tais is here, but not because of Maddy.

Ask her to tell what happened next.

She wants you to tell us all

what happened after you got the note.

I figured Tais wanted to give me

a pep talk before the competition.

But it wasn't a pep talk. It was worse.

I think we need to let Maddy back on the team.

Are you bent? Why?

We need her, for one thing.

Look at the moves she gave us. She's a loser. She lied to us.

'Cause she knew we wouldn't talk to her if we knew the truth.

Estás do lado dela, é?

Não se trata de lados, Rana. Eu gosto dela.

Gostava dela, ela era porreira. E é diferente.

Então a Tais gostava de mim porque eu era diferente?

Eras especial.

Não como as outras miúdas.

Eras inteligente, e engraçada.

Ela disse que tu eras única.

Que não havia ninguém como tu,

e ela sentia a tua falta.

Desculpe, mas perdeu-me quando disse que a Tais está aqui.

Eu tento explicar mais tarde, deixe-se levar.

É verdade.

Ela está aqui.

Eu, eu consigo senti-la.

Ela já não está zangada. É por isso que a consegues sentir.

Tais,

Fomos amigas por tanto tempo.

Queria-te só para mim.

Queria ser a tua melhor amiga.

Nem pensar, não a deixo voltar.

Ela é nossa amiga.

É melhor decidires quem são os teus amigos de verdade, Tais.

Rana, vá lá.

Rana, não.

Espera.

Não sabia que a porta se tinha fechado atrás de mim.

Eu não sabia...

Até me dizerem que a encontraram.

Não disse à Polícia porque estava muito confusa.

A culpa foi minha.

Foi um acidente?

Sim.

Foi só um acidente estúpido.

O que tenho andado a fazer?

A culpa não é tua.

Estavas metida no meio de algo

que nunca devia ter acontecido.

A culpa também não é delas.

Diga-lhes isso.

Não as culpo.

Está a dizer que não culpa nenhuma das duas.

Sabe que foi um acidente.

Só queria que fossemos como éramos antes.

Não poderia ter uma amiga melhor do que a Rana.

Ela só queria que tudo voltasse a ser como era antes.

Ela nunca te poderia ter substituído como amiga.

Diga à Maddie que gostava muito dela. Ela era...

A forma como a mente dela funcionava.

As coisas de que falávamos

faziam-me sentir inteligente.

Ela gostava muito de quem tu eras.

E não de quem estavas a tentar ser.

Tais, eu...

Achava que eras tão especial, e eu...

Tenho saudades tuas.

Quando éramos amigas, sentia que podia fazer tudo.

E podes.

Que espectáculo.

Ela viu a luz, e está pronta para atravessar.

Não.

Não, ela ainda não pode ir.

Preciso de pedir desculpa

e dizer que fui estúpida

e triste, e que se pudesse desfazer tudo, juro...

Diga-lhe que não faz mal.

Diga-lhe que ela é uma boa pessoa.

E que não há mal em deixar que os outros vejam isso.

Eu digo-lhe.

O que foi?

Está aqui um rapazinho.

Um rapazinho?

Diz que se chama Sean.

Sean.

Alguém conhece um Sean?

É o meu irmão.

É o meu irmãozinho.

Quer que eu diga à irmã que ele a ama.

E que ele está feliz

E quer que ela também seja feliz.

Ele diz que a ama.

E que sabe que está triste,

mas não tem de estar.

Porque ele não está.

Vê o meu irmão?

Não.

Mas a Tais vê,

ele está na luz.

E é lá que deve estar.

Quero apresentar

a equipa campeã de chefes de claque,

os Tigres de Grandview,

com uma coreografia de Maddie Strom.

Muito fixe.

Preparados? Agora!

Eu não estou...
