My Neighbor is a Witch (2026) Movie Script
(drop splashes)
[Narrator] Long ago in a distant land,
there lived a tribe of women
wielding powerful elemental magic.
They were the Umi.
For generations, peace reigned,
until invaders arrived on colony ships,
vampires who slaughtered the
Umi and claimed their lands.
In desperation,
the tribes leader summoned
a shape-shifting demon
and sacrificed her own child
to harness the beast's power.
Thus, the first werewolf was born.
The creature drove out the vampires,
but soon turned on the witches.
A radical order of nomadic clergy,
the Midnight Society,
joined forces with the
witches to forge a weapon
and destroy the werewolf.
In the aftermath, the
witches of the coven,
the priests of the Midnight,
and the vampires of the
nest formed a fragile truce.
But centuries later, old hatreds remain,
and the demon lycan waits in the shadows,
eager to reclaim the form
of the werewolf once more.
All right, remember,
baby girl, eye on the ball.
(gentle music)
See?
I told you you could do it.
That's my girl.
Go, go, go.
Run, run.
Yes.
I told you you could do it.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Good girl, I told you you could do it.
Good job.
(gentle music)
Where did they go?
(papers rustling)
(lively music)
(kids chattering)
(lively music)
Look, I am telling you it's
an alien, it's the future.
It's the future.
No, because it blocks-
Bri, I do not care.
I don't even care about your hat.
[Bri] I'm telling you, it's aliens.
You're going to get abducted.
- I don't care.
- He's gonna get abducted.
- I'm not gonna get abducted.
- No, listen-
- I'll survive that.
I swear to God, Naila,
it's gotta be aliens.
I mean, how else do you explain
all these disappearances?
Really?
Aliens do not exist.
Say it with me.
- [Bri] No.
- Aliens do not exist.
[Bri] No.
How long ago did Tyler disappear?
Two days ago.
His mom said he came home from school,
but he was acting strangely.
The last time they saw him
was on their Ring camera.
That's how they get you.
[Thomas] Oh, my God.
Right.
Maybe.
[Thomas] Yeah, maybe.
I don't think it's aliens.
Guys, look, the bus is coming.
(kids chattering)
You're holding up the line, girl.
(footsteps thudding)
(kids chattering)
(dramatic music)
(wings whooshing)
(dramatic music)
[Student] Hi.
[Student] Oh, where you going?
[Student] Trying to get by?
Come on, man.
[Student] This kid is stupid.
I don't know what it is.
Well, you know, it doesn't look bad.
I think it's potatoes.
Oh, okay, so do you want to try it?
Stop, yes.
No.
- No?
Okay, so it doesn't-
Oh, Thomas, hey.
Hey, what's up?
Get Lunchables again?
No, no, my mom packed
us a little something.
[Thomas] Nice.
Were those idiots bothering you again?
[Thomas] Nothing I can't deal with.
So what you got?
Oh, I'm glad you asked.
Some nasty stuff.
[Bri] Ah, looks better than mine.
You know, those kids are the worst.
Yeah, but you know, they're
going to college soon,
so they just think they're tough.
[Thomas] Apparently.
You know, why don't the rotten ones
get put on the missing poster?
[Thomas] Exactly.
[Bri] Take that back,
that's like, that's not nice.
[Thomas] No, I agree.
Well, it's true.
Exactly.
Look, if they go missing next,
it's probably gonna be because of me.
[Bri] Oh.
(group laughs)
Okay, but seriously, there
is something going on here.
[Thomas] I agree.
This is only happening at our school.
Do you guys think that maybe
the lunch guy's an alien?
[Thomas] What?
Is that why you bring your own lunch?
What?
No.
Maybe.
Listen, aliens can use
our water and our food
to make us more like successful
[Thomas] That's the wrong word.
It's suggestible.
Okay, well, that's what I said.
- [Naila] Okay.
- And it doesn't
It can't be her anyway.
The kids go missing
inside their homes, right?
So where do they go?
[Thomas] It's probably a predator
or serial killer or something.
They always have an MO.
[Bri] Yeah, what's an MO?
[Thomas] Mode of operation.
Oh.
[Thomas] Yeah, simple.
And what is a mode of operation?
- It's a pattern.
- [Thomas] Oh, my God.
Okay.
You know that thing that goes
Yeah, I know a pattern.
[Thomas] What are you thinking, Nai?
You think it's a serial killer?
I don't know.
But there's definitely something off
about that bus driver.
[Thomas] Bus driver?
You gonna finish that?
[Thomas] Doubt it.
She works for the school.
They do background checks.
Okay, I can't put my finger on it, but
Look, no way, Nai, okay?
She's literally friends with my mom.
[Naila] Wait, she knows your mom?
Yeah.
[Thomas] Isn't your mom a cop?
Exactly.
They hang out all the time
at like police events.
They're real buddy-buddy.
Makes sense.
Speaking of cops, what
are we even worried about?
The cops are gonna catch
whoever's doing this, right?
I just can't wait to
find out what kind of alien
is behind it.
[Thomas] Something's wrong with you.
Because I mean, you've got your like,
ooh, your classic grays,
your greens, your reptilians.
[Thomas] Wait, wait.
[Bri] What?
[Thomas] Aliens are not real.
[Bri] Says you.
And Nai, the bus
driver is your neighbor.
You would notice something
if she had something to do with it.
Yeah.
What?
No way.
How do you know that?
[Thomas] How do you not know that?
Yeah, my mom dropped
her off right next to you
after one of their like
neighborhood watch whatchamacallits.
See?
Nai, look, you're reading
too much into this.
If something weird were going on,
you'd know about it.
Simple as that.

(engine rumbling)
(gentle music)
Okay, don't look now.
You ever seen that girl before?
Who?
Stacey?
No, idiot.
Her.
Oh, the one with the
different eye thing?
Yeah, she's always on first.
I've never see her at school.
Oh, maybe she's new.
Why?
She creeps me out.
The eye thing?
Yeah.
I mean, what is that?
It's a genetic thing.
Just don't worry about it.
She's always on first.
Looks like she just
moved here or something.
You know, why do you know so much?
It's like you know everything.
What don't you know?
Don't worry, not everything.
Just more than you.
Okay, shut up.
(Thomas laughs)
So you don't even find it a little weird?
The whole weird eye thing?
Come on, Nai, you've
been a little mean lately.
What's up with you?
She's probably special ed
or something, I don't know.
That's why she's always on first.
Okay, I'm not being mean.
Uh-huh.
Look, all I said was
that she creeps me out.
Not being mean.
[Bully] Idiot.
[Student] But you were
just sitting up front.
Are you deaf?
Move.
Not deaf.
Just smart enough to read assigned seats.
Oh look, it's smart ass.
Oh look, it's bad breath.
One day I'm gonna punch those words
right down your throat.
Try it, bully.
Thomas.
Stop, it's not worth it.
Kids go missing every day, pretty boy.
Today might be your day.
Thomas, move.
(kids chattering)
Next time.

(bus honks)
(gentle music)
I understand, that's why I keep trying.
I know, that's the same
thing I told her, I know.
Get your homework, hun,
I'll help you in a second.
(gentle music)
Exactly, so that's why I've
left her the text messages
that I have.
I don't know how to help you with this,
I just don't know how to help you.
I really don't wanna get involved.
I know, but it's so much, it's
so much and too much for me.
Okay, well, that's fine.
How about you just text her
and tell her that you talked to me?
That's fine too.
(smoke hisses)
I know, I've left a thousand messages
that I already tried to do that.
I know, I've left like
a thousand messages,
I'm not sure what you want me to do.
I really don't like getting
involved with all this drama,
I don't like it.
Okay, well, do that, do that.
Call her, I'll support you doing that.
And then we'll just back each other up.

(Naila crying)
Mom?
Mommy.
Mom.
Mom?
Mom?
(Naila crying)
Mom.
(Naila crying)
Okay, focus, Nai.
(keypad beeping)
(phone rings)
911, what's your emergency?
She took her.
She transformed, and I thought
Okay, please calm down.
Who took who?
It was my neighbor.
I think it was magic.
But all I know is that
she transformed the girls.
Uh, is this a joke?
You know, prank calls are illegal, right?
Please.
It was a girl from my school.
She switched with the
girl with the weird eyes.
Okay, okay, please calm down.
Are you in danger?
No.
I mean, yes, but it's not
me, it's Stacey, okay?
[Operator] Okay, let's
start with your name.
Naila.
You're not hearing me.
I'm telling you it's not
about me, it's about
And how old are you?
But you're not listening to me.
[Operator] Where are your parents?
It's my neighbor.
[Operator] Are you alone?
I'm telling you, it was magic.
She switched the girls.
Magic?
It's not right.
You should not be making prank calls.
Is your address 384 Memorial
Drive, Stone Mountain?
Please.
Please believe me.
(Naila cries)
I'm telling you the truth.
Okay, please calm down.
I'm sending in an Officer
for a wellness check.
Please stay where you are.

(dog barking)

(tense music)
(Naila crying)
(tense music)
(Naila sobbing)
(door creaks)
(handle clanking)
Whoa, whoa.
(Naila sobs)
Mom.
It's okay, it's okay.
(bat clatters)
(sirens wailing)
Sh, sh, sh, come here.
It's okay, it's okay.
(sirens wailing)
(Naila crying)
(sirens wailing)
I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to do.
- No, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
Shh.
(Naila crying)
I know it's been,
(sighs) I know it hasn't been easy
since your father passed away.
I told you this is not about Dad.
I told you what I saw.
Why don't you believe me?
I know you think you
saw something, but magic?
Why would I lie?
You have to stop this.
Did you know that
the police wanted to call
Child Protective Services?
You know, they can take you away from me
if you keep talking about
crazy crap like magic?
Mom.
No, enough.
I will call your therapist
and schedule an appointment.
But until then, you mention,
and I mean do not mention
this to not one person.
We've already been through so much.
I don't want them to take you from me too.
But I'm not crazy.
Naila, promise me
you're gonna stop this.
Tell me.
Tell me.
I've gotta go to the
police station tomorrow
to fill out some paperwork.
Can I leave you here or
do you wanna come with me?
It's fine.
My friends are still
coming over, remember?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna go hide that bat
just in case y'all get a little too rough
while you're playing.
What?
Too soon?
(gentle music)
Excuse me.
I hate to bother you,
but my sergeant said that
your daughter saw magic?
Yes.
But it's just her imagination.
She's been acting out.
She does that sometimes.
[Lincoln] I know how these kids can be.
But you also said that she
believed it had something to do
with those missing kids
in that neighborhood?
Yes, but why?
Can I be honest with you?
We're desperate right now.
We're looking for anything.
It keeps happening in that
specific neighborhood.
[Atiyana] I know and it's really scary.
Tell you what, take my card.
If you see anything strange,
feel free to gimme a call.
Yeah, like wizards or witches.
Or vampires.
Or that.
Have a nice day.
(phone vibrates)
Didn't I tell you not
to call me on this number?
Claudia, it's about the
kids, the missing kids.
What about them?
Look, I got a tip.
Claudia, it might be magic in play.
Can you check it out for me?
Why is it every time
you guys have an issue,
you think it's vampires or witches?
Would you rather I share my
tip with the clergy instead?
Is that what you want, Claudia?
All right, fine, fine.
Send me what you got, I'll look into it.
Listen, if this has anything
to do with a rogue witch,
you better fix it now.
I cannot continue to protect you, Claudia,
if this thing goes
public and you know that.
Oh, if there's a rogue
witch causing problems,
she will regret it.
Trust me.
(door creaks)
Hey, I see you parked
in my parking spot again.
Why must you be so,
never mind.
Must you stare at me with
your cat eyes all the time?
What is it?
Why are you here?
You missed the bus today.
Look, if I had magic,
I would do this myself.
But I need you to help me finish this.
Fraus, I know this is taking a toll.
It hurts, it burns.
Yes, but think of the greater good.
We are creating life.
No, we are ending it.
When you were exiled from
the coven, who took you in?
When you were starving, begging
in the streets, I fed you.
I risked my life.
I went against my own
mother and took care of you.
We are hurting
children - Human children.
They are not like us.
We give them purpose in their
pointless, mundane lives.
We are creating a being
that will unite our kind,
a force so powerful that we
will no longer have to hide
in the shadows.
No more fear, no more
submission to humans, vampires,
or anyone else.
A future for us.
And we are almost there.
Without me,
you would've been left
to rot in the gutters,
forgotten by the coven and everyone else.
I saved you, Fraus, and now you owe me.

(punch thuds)
(Fraus coughs)
(Fraus groaning)
(punches thudding)
(Fraus laughs)
(hit thuds)
(snakes hiss)
(Fraus cries)
Enough.
Face your judgment in your true form.
You have broken our sacred vow.
Fraus, your punishment is exile.
I forbid any member of this
coven to acknowledge her,
to provide her aid,
shelter, or protection.
You are no longer welcome in this coven.
Disobey me, and death
will be your comfort.
(smoke whooshes)
(flames roar)
(tense music)
(witch chants)
(Fraus screams)
(Fraus whimpers)
(traffic whooshing)
(suspenseful music)
Hey please, just for a meal.
(dramatic music)
Get out and stay out.
The next time I'm calling the cops.
(gentle music)
(Fraus growls)
(owner screams)
(flesh squelches)
(dramatic music)
- It's super fun.
- It's not.
I don't think it's that far from here.
Yeah, it's not.
Do you know?
No, but I think it's
like 20, I'm not sure.
Hey, what's up with that weird lady?
(dramatic music)
Are you some kind of monster?
(Fraus growls)
(smoke hisses)
(dramatic music)
Are you some kind of monster?
(Fraus snarls)
(smoke hisses)
(tense music)
[Aana] A witch should never have to beg.
You.
Your mother took everything from me.
I have nowhere else to go.
So please just leave me alone.
Then come with me.
I can give you what my
mother and the coven took.
Purpose, power, and a family of your own.
(birds tweeting)
(eerie music)
I see their faces when I close my eyes.
I can't sleep anymore.
Believe me, it'll be over soon.
I will never hurt you.
You must trust me.
Now, let us begin our work.
Is she ready?
She is.
(tense music)
(Stacey screaming)
Please, I don't wanna be here.
Please, I wanna go home.
Please, I never wanted to do this.
I didn't need to come here.
Please, just let me go,
I didn't do anything,
I've always been a good kid.
Please, please.
What did I do?
What did I do?
Let me out.
(Stacey crying)
Let me out.
I want go home.
Let us begin, my child.
[Stacey] Please let me go.
I just wanna go home to my family.
Please.
(tense music)
(Fraus roars)
(Stacey screaming)
(Fraus growls)
(Stacey screams)
No.
(gentle music)
Thomas?
Thomas.
Thomas.
You can't spend all day
staring at a screen.
You need to get into sports or something.
You used to love boxing.
I'll tell you what, you
need to get back in the gym.
You'll thank me later.
(lively music)
What's up?
I dunno.
(Bri speaks indistinctly)
(lively music)
What?
- [Bri] Yeah.
Don't lie to me.
(Bri speaks indistinctly)
I dunno, I saw them and it was just like
And she was just like,
magic, magic, magic.
I just gotta ask her.
Right.
Well, I mean, it's gotta
be aliens, I don't know.
What does aliens have to do with magic?
I'm glad you asked.
So listen, alien technology,
it's so advanced.
Well, not that advanced.
It's technology, not math.
[Bri] Right, but okay.
[Thomas] Technology
and math go together.
Okay, I'm saying that
Naila... (upbeat music)
Hi.
Thank you.
Okay.
Naila, where's the cake?
Look, I know your mom always has cake.
Naila?
[Naila] Sorry, it's in
the back on the right.
Well, I'm looking for it and I don't
[Naila] Look for it.
I am.
Oh, found it.
Okay, Naila, tell us what's going on.
We saw your messages
and you missed school.
Yeah, what's all this about like magic?
Okay, there's no such thing as magic.
There's no such thing as magic,
there's no such thing as aliens,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Just shut it, Tom, okay?
Look at her, okay?
She clearly saw something.
[Thomas] Well?
I need you guys to keep an open mind.
I'm serious.
Okay, I'm not sure what I saw,
but what I do know is the
bus driver's behind it.
Oh, my God, not this again.
Look, Aana was literally
talking to my mom this morning.
She even said she was gonna
like help the police department
find the missing kids.
She was gonna, you know, keep
an eye out on her bus route
if anything odd happened.
I know that sounds crazy, believe me.
[Bri] Look, that is impossible, okay?
She's the kidnapper, Bri.
[Bri] My mother is a police officer,
she would know if something was off.
Well, something is off.
That girl, Stacey?
Yeah, she missed the bus today.
Second period today,
her mother and the principal were talking.
She said that she picked her
up when Aana dropped her off.
They went home and then,
poof, just disappeared.
That doesn't make sense.
I saw Aana take Stacey off the bus
and put her on the back of her car.
Your story doesn't match with hers, Nai.
Look, everyone, everyone
including her own mother,
saw her get off that bus.
Maybe you saw a different girl, right?
I don't know, maybe the quiet one.
Yeah, look, Aana's trying to help, okay?
You know what?
I bet she got you
with one of those Men In
Black memory eraser things.
You know, I bet she found you
asleep on the back of her bus
and she's the one who took you home
but you don't remember
because of the memory eraser.
[Thomas] Stop, stop.
Yeah, when we watched it
together, we literally watched
Guys.
Okay, look, whatever happened,
your story doesn't match with the facts.
Okay, well, what I did do,
I looked at the number of
passengers where on the bus.
There's only supposed to be 14 of us,
but the day Stacey went
missing, there were 15.
[Bri] So what?
There was another passenger.
- The girl with the eyes.
- The girl with the eyes.
Yeah, she's suspicious.
And maybe Aana knows something.
When you think about it,
she's always there before
any kid goes missing.
None of us know her name
or seen her in school.
You guys, she's the alien, okay?
No, because I've seen her too.
She always sits in the back
and she never talks to anybody.
Plus those cool-looking eyes... [Naila] No.
- [Bri] Guys-
- [Thomas] Stop.
We got a freaking
skin walker, this is so cool.
No, she probably stalks her
prey and then follows them home.
And then she uses some
sort of alien technology
[Thomas] I don't think it's aliens, bro.
To transport them back to her base
so that she can probe them.
[Naila] Does that make sense to you?
And Aana is probably in on it
so she's working as an undercover agent
pretending to be a bus driver.
[Naila] Do you hear
yourself when you talk?
You sound crazy.
And she's working with my mom
that's why she's always around my mom
[Thomas] You are crazy.
Giving her information
about the missing kids.
You guys, this is so cool.
[Thomas] What is cool about this?
The missing kids part, that's still bad.
[Naila] Thank you, Captain Obvious.
I know, but we're hunting
aliens, I was right.
I can make us matching hats.
Oh, we're gonna have matching hats?
Yes, isn't that cool?
No.
Well, you don't have
to be rude about it.
Have fun getting abducted, geez.
I'll get you a matching
hat, Tom, - Please don't.
So, like we talked about,
we're all gonna change the
homework just a little bit.
No... So that they don't
know that we cheated.
Shut up.
I'm not gonna shut
up, that's a bad idea.
Please, I promise I won't
No, do not change the whole thing.
Okay, so just like a little bit.
- No.
- Just a little bit.
What is wrong with the both of you?
No one's gonna know.
Nothing's wrong, everybody does this.
Everybody does this, Tom.
- No
Everybody does it.
Literally everybody does it.
Okay, don't listen to him.
Hi, how have you been?
- Tired.
- Oh, yeah.
[Naila] Just make sure
you change it a little bit
so they don't know that you copied.
[Bri] Okay.
[Naila] Because I don't want
to talk to Mr. Johnson again
[Bri] It's a lot of
extra work to do that.
[Naila] You don't think
it's extra work for me
to do the homework for all of us?
It's like... [Thomas] Why would you cheat?
[Naila] I mean, it's easier to do that.
- [Thomas] No, don't cheat.
- [Bri] Okay, guys,
I gotta head out.
Bye.
[Naila] Bye.
[Thomas] I don't know
it's just... Just go home.
Nerd.
(tense music)
(Atiyana speaks indistinctly)
(Naila laughs)
(tense music)
Maybe they're right.
Maybe I was dreaming when
I fell asleep on the bus.
(voices whispering)
(thunder rumbles)
(tense music)
(Naila panting)
(child cries)
[Child] Help us.
(tense music)
Okay.
This isn't crazy at all.
Okay, this is fine, this is fine.
I'm not going crazy at all.
I'm not going crazy.
(suspenseful music)
(car whooshes)
(crickets chirping)
(suspenseful music)
[Aana] Yes, that's it.
You got it.
(voices crying)
(Naila panting)
(Fraus growling)
[Fraus] We are getting close.
If the coven finds out
[Aana] The coven?
The coven... [Fraus] It's complicated.
Police are getting close.
If the coven finds out
[Aana] We have come too far to stop now.
[Fraus] If the coven
finds out, we both are dead.
The coven.
My mother would love that, wouldn't she?
Watching me fail,
watching her own daughter,
the one born without a
single spark of magic
come crawl back to her in disgrace.
But this?
Stealing life from children?
This is wrong, Aana.
There must be another way.
[Aana] Another way?
I have searched my entire
life for another way.
But every spell, every ritual,
every ounce of power, all
of it, flows through you.
I have no magic.
And my mother, the great
leader of the coven,
makes sure I never forget it.
[Fraus] And if she finds out
that you've been bending the rules,
taking magic that isn't yours,
she's going to destroy you.
And she's going to destroy us.
Well maybe she finds (indistinct).
(creature squelching)
This child, this life
that we are creating,
she will be my legacy, a
daughter with real power.
I won't have to rely on anyone,
especially not my mother.
I'll be free of her and the coven.
At what cost?
Look, if you are too weak
to finish this, tell me now.
But don't you dare stand in my way.
Either you help me create a future
where I don't live in
her shadows or you leave.
There are other ways to create werewolves.
But remember, Fraus,
I saved you from the streets
when no one else would.
Without me, you'd still
be begging for scraps
outside the coven walls or worse.

Keep it calm.
We don't want any unwanted attention.

Good evening.
I know who you are.
You're secret service agents, right?
You're investigating missing children.
[Aana] What makes you think that, child?
Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell anybody.
I just wanna help, okay?
Look, my friends and I,
we've been investigating too.
And we even know about the
girl with multicolored eyes,
which you also have those eyes.
Do your parents know you're here?
Oh, nah, they're asleep.
I know if I asked them to join you,
they'd say I'm too young.
But I figure since I'm
already on your bus route,
I can help you keep an eye out.
You know, the aliens.

Honey, I'm leaving for work.
(door creaks)
Oh, crap, Mom wait.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, try to rest.
You've been excused for the week.
Do you remember?
Mom.
Call me if you need me.
Love you.
Oh, crap.
(traffic whooshing)
Thank you for helping me.
Got you.
(wings fluttering)
(creature roars)
(water sloshes)
(footsteps thudding)
(birds tweeting)
Halt.
It's the solstice.
There was blood on the moon
last night, unfortunately.
We need your permission
to do a banishment ritual.
Yes.
Thank you.
(guard growls)
[Thomas] These symbols here.
They're the same ones
carved into the walls.
What do they mean?
I'm afraid these
symbols, they mean nothing.
Nothing, just nothing of importance.
I got these from Aana Water's house.
[Naani] Did you say Aana Water?
Yeah.
You know her, don't you?
[Naani] I don't know
any one of that name.
And if that's all, I have things to do.
And I'll need you to delete these photos
and forget everything that you've seen.
This conversation is over.
(footsteps receding)
(dramatic music)
[Witch] Claudia.
What is it?
I think we found something.
Okay?
The children.
I think Wicca's daughter
has something to do with it.
Tell me what you know,
and speak only to me.
What did Aana do?
(tense music)
Have you heard from Bri?
[Naila] What's wrong with you?
[Thomas] Have you heard from Bri?
No, she never takes her
phone to school, you know that.
[Thomas] Why didn't you answer my texts?
I was busy.
Okay, fine, I was asleep.
Why aren't you in school?
Listen to me.
Something's going on, something weird.
Weirder than you being in my house?
Nevermind that.
Those pictures you sent,
I did some research.
[Naila] Okay?
[Thomas] Look, those
symbols match a building
on the east end at the
Sullivan Road store district.
Okay, so what?
[Thomas] So I went there.
You went there?
[Thomas] Yeah, I did.
No, not, "Yeah, I did."
We could have went there on the weekend.
I had to.
Look, it's about Bri.
Something is seriously wrong with her.
Look, we were waiting for the bus,
she was weird, she was quiet.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Quiet?
No, Bri's never quiet.
She literally would not say a thing.
She just looked at me the whole time.
[Naila] Okay.
Okay, I'll admit that's a little weird.
Very weird.
But not skip school for
something stupid weird.
Well, get this.
When we got on the bus, I looked at her,
her eye color changed, Nai.
[Naila] What?
Yes, just like that quiet girl.
Look, it's crazy but that's
what happened, I swear.
No, it doesn't sound
crazy, Thomas, I believe you.
[Thomas] Right?
And when I got off the bus
before the door closed,
Aana gave me a look.
She even called me by my name.
She never calls us by our names.
Ever.
Okay.
Okay.
This is bad.
[Thomas] Yeah.
That means they know.
[Thomas] Know what?
Oh, my God.
[Thomas] What?
Bri.
[Thomas] What about Bri?
Okay.
Okay.
Bri was there when I broke in.
She wasn't there when I left, okay?
So I thought that she got home safely.
Oh, my God.
I think they switched
Bri like they did Stacey.
That's not all.
I followed the lead you sent me.
[Naila] Okay?
I went to a building that
shared the exact same markings.
I showed them a photo and told
them where it was discovered.
I talked to a woman,
I asked them if they knew
a woman called Aana Water.
The lady who I spoke to denied it,
but I could tell, I
could tell she was lying.
Yeah.
I don't understand, why
would you tell them that?
Look, when I got off the
bus, before the doors closed,
I heard a woman whisper,
"Sacrifice summoned."
The other said, "Lycan."
What the hell?
Yeah.
You know what it means?
I searched it up, that means werewolf.
[Naila] Thomas, holy shit.
But they still pretended
to not know what the text
or the symbol meant.
They told me to leave.
(tense music)
Okay, Thomas, we have
to call the police.
[Thomas] What?
No.
Are you crazy?
We can't prove anything.
What do you mean, no?
So we're just supposed to sit around
and act like nothing's happening?
- That's not what I said.
- [Naila] So what do you mean?
I'm just, we need evidence, okay?
We need solid proof.
Look, why don't we just record them
and see if something sticks, all right?
It's a solid plan, Nai.
Thomas, this better work.
[Thomas] It's gonna work.
It'll work.
First, where does Aana park that bus?

Wait.
Okay, okay.
(power rumbles)
We have to find them.
They know entirely too much.
We have to finish the ritual tonight.
(birds calling)
I told you, I told you and
you didn't wanna believe me.
We're going to the police now.
We don't have time.
Bri might still be in there.
If we don't go now, she is gone.
You know what?
Screw this.
Okay, let me get my bat first at least.
(door thuds)
[Thomas] You sure you
know where you're going?
You go if you're so sure.
I don't wanna to go.
- Go.
- What?
Go.
Shh, quiet.
(suspenseful music)
- Wait, wait.
- [Naila] What?
What?
Flashlight.
[Naila] Seriously?
[Thomas] What?
(suspenseful music)
[Naila] Okay, careful.
I know.
(suspenseful music)
(Bri crying)
Bri?
Naila.
Thomas.
It wasn't aliens, they're witches.
Hurry, come on, let's get her up.
(bat clatters)
You know, breaking in and
entering is a serious crime.
(tense music)
(Fraus laughs)
(bones cracking)
(smoke whooshes)
(tense music)
Let us go.
(Bri sobbing)
Help me.
(Bri gagging)
(tense music)
(Bri screams)
(dramatic music)
I can feel it.
I can feel its heartbeat.
I want more.
I can feel its magic swelling in me.
Do you see, Fraus?
Just a weak little life gone in a blink.
She was nothing, just like the others.
And yet you hesitate.
How many times must I remind you
of what we're creating here.
These children, they were meant
to serve a higher purpose,
something beyond their
small, insignificant lives.
Without their energy,
without their sacrifice,
we have nothing,
just another group of women
hiding in the shadows,
bowing to humans and their rules.
But not this time.
This life within me, she
will change everything.
She will be the one to bring
our kind out of the shadows.
A new beginning.
One where we no longer live in fear.
And you, Fraus, you are a part of this.
We've come too far to stop now.
(Aana growls)
Only those that do what's
needed are remembered, Fraus.
Now do it.

Where are we going?
Anywhere but here.
Come on.
Wait.
Come on, let's go, let's go.
(power zaps)
You two have seen way too much.
[Thomas] We won't say anything, please.
(power zapping)
(explosion booms)
That's enough, Claudia.
They're witnesses.
They are a threat.
Just listen to me.
I can fix this.
I'll use my inception magic
to wipe their memories.
You can have that cop help
us, give them new identities.
Let them live normal lives
somewhere far from all of this.
They led us here and saved
God knows how many kids,
they should not die.
Lincoln.
Lincoln, that's the cop, right?
Help them.
I do not like this.
Helping them could be the end of us.
They are a threat to the coven.
That bitch, Aana, and
Fraus are the threat.
We killed Fraus and
Aana will be dealt with.
If you kill them,
then you are no better
than those evil witches.
Use Lincoln.
Give them new identities,
let them start over.
Or kill me stopping you.
So you're proposing witness
protection with magic?
I'm proposing mercy.
Your names are Rodney and Kaprice.
You're brother and sister.
You lost your parents,
and you live to love
and protect each other.
(dramatic music)
You know, I really hope
you know what you're doing.
(neck chain clinks)
(Claudia chants)
(power whooshes)

Hey, lady.
I'm in the kitchen, come up in the back.
(Bri's Mom sobbing)

(Bri's Mom crying)
(gentle music)
[Bri's Mom] Our girls.
No.
My baby's gone.
No.
Our girls.
(Bri's Mom cries)
(gentle music)
No.
No.
God, no.
God, no.
Please.
(Atiyana crying)
(gentle music)
God, no, please, no.
Not Naila.
No.
Naila.
No.
Not Naila, no.
Please, not my baby.
Please.
Not my baby, please.
Please, not my baby.
Not mine.
No, no, no.
No, please.
No, please.
(Thomas retches)
(traffic whooshes)
Sit down.
I said sit down.
Your memories will come soon.
But know this now, you're all that's left.
Your family, it's gone.
You're two siblings that got lost,
and my sister helped you.
Do you understand?
(crickets chirping)
(traffic whooshing)
Lieutenant Lincoln Dott.
I'm here to help you guys.
This is who you are now.
This is gonna be a reminder.
The address where you live
is right here at the top.
And stay outta trouble.
You're gonna be just fine.
You sure this is going to work?
I'm taking a huge risk here, Claudia.
We should have just gotten in the car
to handle this the right way.
Mm-mm, Aana is the
eldest child of our leader.
If the Midnight Society found
out, it would start a war.
It's best we handle this discreetly.
So you're telling me
these kids aren't gonna remember anything?
Trinity's amnesia magic
is permanent on humans.
Well
[Lincoln] Well what, Claudia?
Only another witch can break the spell.
And trust me, no other witch
is gonna know about this.
And I know you not gonna say anything.
[Lincoln] Do I have a choice, Claudia?
One day you're gonna get me killed.
Yes.
But not today.
(power zaps)
Damn.
I hate that she does that.
You kids need a ride?
That's a long walk.
(door knocks)
(door knocking)
(door knocking)
Hi, Ma'am.
I was wondering if
someone still lives here.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Okay then.
(both gasp)
(dramatic music)
(voices whispering)
(door slams)
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my friend
Try not to cry if your time is up
I don't give a fuck about what you say
You had all the time
(Atiyana cries)
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye my friend
Try not to cry your time is up
I don't give a fuck about what you say
You had all the time you
played me like a game
Naila?
Naila.
Naila.
Naila.
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my friend
I know you thought to give up
'Cause you toxic
You wanna go and start
destroying some girls
I know you need a peacock
'Cause you toxic
You wanna go away
Call somebody else with
the same old tricks
I am no longer mesmerized by it
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
Kapri.
Don't tell me, the chihuahua again?

[Narrator] Long ago in a distant land,
there lived a tribe of women
wielding powerful elemental magic.
They were the Umi.
For generations, peace reigned,
until invaders arrived on colony ships,
vampires who slaughtered the
Umi and claimed their lands.
In desperation,
the tribes leader summoned
a shape-shifting demon
and sacrificed her own child
to harness the beast's power.
Thus, the first werewolf was born.
The creature drove out the vampires,
but soon turned on the witches.
A radical order of nomadic clergy,
the Midnight Society,
joined forces with the
witches to forge a weapon
and destroy the werewolf.
In the aftermath, the
witches of the coven,
the priests of the Midnight,
and the vampires of the
nest formed a fragile truce.
But centuries later, old hatreds remain,
and the demon lycan waits in the shadows,
eager to reclaim the form
of the werewolf once more.
All right, remember,
baby girl, eye on the ball.
(gentle music)
See?
I told you you could do it.
That's my girl.
Go, go, go.
Run, run.
Yes.
I told you you could do it.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Good girl, I told you you could do it.
Good job.
(gentle music)
Where did they go?
(papers rustling)
(lively music)
(kids chattering)
(lively music)
Look, I am telling you it's
an alien, it's the future.
It's the future.
No, because it blocks-
Bri, I do not care.
I don't even care about your hat.
[Bri] I'm telling you, it's aliens.
You're going to get abducted.
- I don't care.
- He's gonna get abducted.
- I'm not gonna get abducted.
- No, listen-
- I'll survive that.
I swear to God, Naila,
it's gotta be aliens.
I mean, how else do you explain
all these disappearances?
Really?
Aliens do not exist.
Say it with me.
- [Bri] No.
- Aliens do not exist.
[Bri] No.
How long ago did Tyler disappear?
Two days ago.
His mom said he came home from school,
but he was acting strangely.
The last time they saw him
was on their Ring camera.
That's how they get you.
[Thomas] Oh, my God.
Right.
Maybe.
[Thomas] Yeah, maybe.
I don't think it's aliens.
Guys, look, the bus is coming.
(kids chattering)
You're holding up the line, girl.
(footsteps thudding)
(kids chattering)
(dramatic music)
(wings whooshing)
(dramatic music)
[Student] Hi.
[Student] Oh, where you going?
[Student] Trying to get by?
Come on, man.
[Student] This kid is stupid.
I don't know what it is.
Well, you know, it doesn't look bad.
I think it's potatoes.
Oh, okay, so do you want to try it?
Stop, yes.
No.
- No?
Okay, so it doesn't-
Oh, Thomas, hey.
Hey, what's up?
Get Lunchables again?
No, no, my mom packed
us a little something.
[Thomas] Nice.
Were those idiots bothering you again?
[Thomas] Nothing I can't deal with.
So what you got?
Oh, I'm glad you asked.
Some nasty stuff.
[Bri] Ah, looks better than mine.
You know, those kids are the worst.
Yeah, but you know, they're
going to college soon,
so they just think they're tough.
[Thomas] Apparently.
You know, why don't the rotten ones
get put on the missing poster?
[Thomas] Exactly.
[Bri] Take that back,
that's like, that's not nice.
[Thomas] No, I agree.
Well, it's true.
Exactly.
Look, if they go missing next,
it's probably gonna be because of me.
[Bri] Oh.
(group laughs)
Okay, but seriously, there
is something going on here.
[Thomas] I agree.
This is only happening at our school.
Do you guys think that maybe
the lunch guy's an alien?
[Thomas] What?
Is that why you bring your own lunch?
What?
No.
Maybe.
Listen, aliens can use
our water and our food
to make us more like successful
[Thomas] That's the wrong word.
It's suggestible.
Okay, well, that's what I said.
- [Naila] Okay.
- And it doesn't
It can't be her anyway.
The kids go missing
inside their homes, right?
So where do they go?
[Thomas] It's probably a predator
or serial killer or something.
They always have an MO.
[Bri] Yeah, what's an MO?
[Thomas] Mode of operation.
Oh.
[Thomas] Yeah, simple.
And what is a mode of operation?
- It's a pattern.
- [Thomas] Oh, my God.
Okay.
You know that thing that goes
Yeah, I know a pattern.
[Thomas] What are you thinking, Nai?
You think it's a serial killer?
I don't know.
But there's definitely something off
about that bus driver.
[Thomas] Bus driver?
You gonna finish that?
[Thomas] Doubt it.
She works for the school.
They do background checks.
Okay, I can't put my finger on it, but
Look, no way, Nai, okay?
She's literally friends with my mom.
[Naila] Wait, she knows your mom?
Yeah.
[Thomas] Isn't your mom a cop?
Exactly.
They hang out all the time
at like police events.
They're real buddy-buddy.
Makes sense.
Speaking of cops, what
are we even worried about?
The cops are gonna catch
whoever's doing this, right?
I just can't wait to
find out what kind of alien
is behind it.
[Thomas] Something's wrong with you.
Because I mean, you've got your like,
ooh, your classic grays,
your greens, your reptilians.
[Thomas] Wait, wait.
[Bri] What?
[Thomas] Aliens are not real.
[Bri] Says you.
And Nai, the bus
driver is your neighbor.
You would notice something
if she had something to do with it.
Yeah.
What?
No way.
How do you know that?
[Thomas] How do you not know that?
Yeah, my mom dropped
her off right next to you
after one of their like
neighborhood watch whatchamacallits.
See?
Nai, look, you're reading
too much into this.
If something weird were going on,
you'd know about it.
Simple as that.

Okay, don't look now.
You ever seen that girl before?
Who?
Stacey?
No, idiot.
Her.
Oh, the one with the
different eye thing?
Yeah, she's always on first.
I've never see her at school.
Oh, maybe she's new.
Why?
She creeps me out.
The eye thing?
Yeah.
I mean, what is that?
It's a genetic thing.
Just don't worry about it.
She's always on first.
Looks like she just
moved here or something.
You know, why do you know so much?
It's like you know everything.
What don't you know?
Don't worry, not everything.
Just more than you.
Okay, shut up.
(Thomas laughs)
So you don't even find it a little weird?
The whole weird eye thing?
Come on, Nai, you've
been a little mean lately.
What's up with you?
She's probably special ed
or something, I don't know.
That's why she's always on first.
Okay, I'm not being mean.
Uh-huh.
Look, all I said was
that she creeps me out.
Not being mean.
[Bully] Idiot.
[Student] But you were
just sitting up front.
Are you deaf?
Move.
Not deaf.
Just smart enough to read assigned seats.
Oh look, it's smart ass.
Oh look, it's bad breath.
One day I'm gonna punch those words
right down your throat.
Try it, bully.
Thomas.
Stop, it's not worth it.
Kids go missing every day, pretty boy.
Today might be your day.
Thomas, move.

Next time.

I understand, that's why I keep trying.
I know, that's the same
thing I told her, I know.
Get your homework, hun,
I'll help you in a second.
(gentle music)
Exactly, so that's why I've
left her the text messages
that I have.
I don't know how to help you with this,
I just don't know how to help you.
I really don't wanna get involved.
I know, but it's so much, it's
so much and too much for me.
Okay, well, that's fine.
How about you just text her
and tell her that you talked to me?
That's fine too.
(smoke hisses)
I know, I've left a thousand messages
that I already tried to do that.
I know, I've left like
a thousand messages,
I'm not sure what you want me to do.
I really don't like getting
involved with all this drama,
I don't like it.
Okay, well, do that, do that.
Call her, I'll support you doing that.
And then we'll just back each other up.

(phone rings)
911, what's your emergency?
She took her.
She transformed, and I thought
Okay, please calm down.
Who took who?
It was my neighbor.
I think it was magic.
But all I know is that
she transformed the girls.
Uh, is this a joke?
You know, prank calls are illegal, right?
Please.
It was a girl from my school.
She switched with the
girl with the weird eyes.
Okay, okay, please calm down.
Are you in danger?
No.
I mean, yes, but it's not
me, it's Stacey, okay?
[Operator] Okay, let's
start with your name.
Naila.
You're not hearing me.
I'm telling you it's not
about me, it's about
And how old are you?
But you're not listening to me.
[Operator] Where are your parents?
It's my neighbor.
[Operator] Are you alone?
I'm telling you, it was magic.
She switched the girls.
Magic?
It's not right.
You should not be making prank calls.
Is your address 384 Memorial
Drive, Stone Mountain?
Please.
Please believe me.
(Naila cries)
I'm telling you the truth.
Okay, please calm down.
I'm sending in an Officer
for a wellness check.
Please stay where you are.

I didn't know what else to do.
- No, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
Shh.
(Naila crying)
I know it's been,
(sighs) I know it hasn't been easy
since your father passed away.
I told you this is not about Dad.
I told you what I saw.
Why don't you believe me?
I know you think you
saw something, but magic?
Why would I lie?
You have to stop this.
Did you know that
the police wanted to call
Child Protective Services?
You know, they can take you away from me
if you keep talking about
crazy crap like magic?
Mom.
No, enough.
I will call your therapist
and schedule an appointment.
But until then, you mention,
and I mean do not mention
this to not one person.
We've already been through so much.
I don't want them to take you from me too.
But I'm not crazy.
Naila, promise me
you're gonna stop this.
Tell me.
Tell me.
I've gotta go to the
police station tomorrow
to fill out some paperwork.
Can I leave you here or
do you wanna come with me?
It's fine.
My friends are still
coming over, remember?
Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna go hide that bat
just in case y'all get a little too rough
while you're playing.
What?
Too soon?
(gentle music)
Excuse me.
I hate to bother you,
but my sergeant said that
your daughter saw magic?
Yes.
But it's just her imagination.
She's been acting out.
She does that sometimes.
[Lincoln] I know how these kids can be.
But you also said that she
believed it had something to do
with those missing kids
in that neighborhood?
Yes, but why?
Can I be honest with you?
We're desperate right now.
We're looking for anything.
It keeps happening in that
specific neighborhood.
[Atiyana] I know and it's really scary.
Tell you what, take my card.
If you see anything strange,
feel free to gimme a call.
Yeah, like wizards or witches.
Or vampires.
Or that.
Have a nice day.
(phone vibrates)
Didn't I tell you not
to call me on this number?
Claudia, it's about the
kids, the missing kids.
What about them?
Look, I got a tip.
Claudia, it might be magic in play.
Can you check it out for me?
Why is it every time
you guys have an issue,
you think it's vampires or witches?
Would you rather I share my
tip with the clergy instead?
Is that what you want, Claudia?
All right, fine, fine.
Send me what you got, I'll look into it.
Listen, if this has anything
to do with a rogue witch,
you better fix it now.
I cannot continue to protect you, Claudia,
if this thing goes
public and you know that.
Oh, if there's a rogue
witch causing problems,
she will regret it.
Trust me.
(door creaks)
Hey, I see you parked
in my parking spot again.
Why must you be so,
never mind.
Must you stare at me with
your cat eyes all the time?
What is it?
Why are you here?
You missed the bus today.
Look, if I had magic,
I would do this myself.
But I need you to help me finish this.
Fraus, I know this is taking a toll.
It hurts, it burns.
Yes, but think of the greater good.
We are creating life.
No, we are ending it.
When you were exiled from
the coven, who took you in?
When you were starving, begging
in the streets, I fed you.
I risked my life.
I went against my own
mother and took care of you.
We are hurting
children - Human children.
They are not like us.
We give them purpose in their
pointless, mundane lives.
We are creating a being
that will unite our kind,
a force so powerful that we
will no longer have to hide
in the shadows.
No more fear, no more
submission to humans, vampires,
or anyone else.
A future for us.
And we are almost there.
Without me,
you would've been left
to rot in the gutters,
forgotten by the coven and everyone else.
I saved you, Fraus, and now you owe me.

(punch thuds)
(Fraus coughs)
(Fraus groaning)
(punches thudding)
(Fraus laughs)
(hit thuds)
(snakes hiss)
(Fraus cries)
Enough.
Face your judgment in your true form.
You have broken our sacred vow.
Fraus, your punishment is exile.
I forbid any member of this
coven to acknowledge her,
to provide her aid,
shelter, or protection.
You are no longer welcome in this coven.
Disobey me, and death
will be your comfort.
(smoke whooshes)
(flames roar)
(tense music)
(witch chants)
(Fraus screams)
(Fraus whimpers)
(traffic whooshing)
(suspenseful music)
Hey please, just for a meal.
(dramatic music)
Get out and stay out.
The next time I'm calling the cops.
(gentle music)
(Fraus growls)
(owner screams)
(flesh squelches)
(dramatic music)
- It's super fun.
- It's not.
I don't think it's that far from here.
Yeah, it's not.
Do you know?
No, but I think it's
like 20, I'm not sure.
Hey, what's up with that weird lady?
(dramatic music)
Are you some kind of monster?
(Fraus growls)
(smoke hisses)
(dramatic music)
Are you some kind of monster?
(Fraus snarls)
(smoke hisses)
(tense music)
[Aana] A witch should never have to beg.
You.
Your mother took everything from me.
I have nowhere else to go.
So please just leave me alone.
Then come with me.
I can give you what my
mother and the coven took.
Purpose, power, and a family of your own.
(birds tweeting)
(eerie music)
I see their faces when I close my eyes.
I can't sleep anymore.
Believe me, it'll be over soon.
I will never hurt you.
You must trust me.
Now, let us begin our work.
Is she ready?
She is.
(tense music)
(Stacey screaming)
Please, I don't wanna be here.
Please, I wanna go home.
Please, I never wanted to do this.
I didn't need to come here.
Please, just let me go,
I didn't do anything,
I've always been a good kid.
Please, please.
What did I do?
What did I do?
Let me out.
(Stacey crying)
Let me out.
I want go home.
Let us begin, my child.
[Stacey] Please let me go.
I just wanna go home to my family.
Please.
(tense music)
(Fraus roars)
(Stacey screaming)
(Fraus growls)
(Stacey screams)
No.
(gentle music)
Thomas?
Thomas.
Thomas.
You can't spend all day
staring at a screen.
You need to get into sports or something.
You used to love boxing.
I'll tell you what, you
need to get back in the gym.
You'll thank me later.
(lively music)
What's up?
I dunno.
(Bri speaks indistinctly)
(lively music)
What?
- [Bri] Yeah.
Don't lie to me.
(Bri speaks indistinctly)
I dunno, I saw them and it was just like
And she was just like,
magic, magic, magic.
I just gotta ask her.
Right.
Well, I mean, it's gotta
be aliens, I don't know.
What does aliens have to do with magic?
I'm glad you asked.
So listen, alien technology,
it's so advanced.
Well, not that advanced.
It's technology, not math.
[Bri] Right, but okay.
[Thomas] Technology
and math go together.
Okay, I'm saying that
Naila... (upbeat music)
Hi.
Thank you.
Okay.
Naila, where's the cake?
Look, I know your mom always has cake.
Naila?
[Naila] Sorry, it's in
the back on the right.
Well, I'm looking for it and I don't
[Naila] Look for it.
I am.
Oh, found it.
Okay, Naila, tell us what's going on.
We saw your messages
and you missed school.
Yeah, what's all this about like magic?
Okay, there's no such thing as magic.
There's no such thing as magic,
there's no such thing as aliens,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
Just shut it, Tom, okay?
Look at her, okay?
She clearly saw something.
[Thomas] Well?
I need you guys to keep an open mind.
I'm serious.
Okay, I'm not sure what I saw,
but what I do know is the
bus driver's behind it.
Oh, my God, not this again.
Look, Aana was literally
talking to my mom this morning.
She even said she was gonna
like help the police department
find the missing kids.
She was gonna, you know, keep
an eye out on her bus route
if anything odd happened.
I know that sounds crazy, believe me.
[Bri] Look, that is impossible, okay?
She's the kidnapper, Bri.
[Bri] My mother is a police officer,
she would know if something was off.
Well, something is off.
That girl, Stacey?
Yeah, she missed the bus today.
Second period today,
her mother and the principal were talking.
She said that she picked her
up when Aana dropped her off.
They went home and then,
poof, just disappeared.
That doesn't make sense.
I saw Aana take Stacey off the bus
and put her on the back of her car.
Your story doesn't match with hers, Nai.
Look, everyone, everyone
including her own mother,
saw her get off that bus.
Maybe you saw a different girl, right?
I don't know, maybe the quiet one.
Yeah, look, Aana's trying to help, okay?
You know what?
I bet she got you
with one of those Men In
Black memory eraser things.
You know, I bet she found you
asleep on the back of her bus
and she's the one who took you home
but you don't remember
because of the memory eraser.
[Thomas] Stop, stop.
Yeah, when we watched it
together, we literally watched
Guys.
Okay, look, whatever happened,
your story doesn't match with the facts.
Okay, well, what I did do,
I looked at the number of
passengers where on the bus.
There's only supposed to be 14 of us,
but the day Stacey went
missing, there were 15.
[Bri] So what?
There was another passenger.
- The girl with the eyes.
- The girl with the eyes.
Yeah, she's suspicious.
And maybe Aana knows something.
When you think about it,
she's always there before
any kid goes missing.
None of us know her name
or seen her in school.
You guys, she's the alien, okay?
No, because I've seen her too.
She always sits in the back
and she never talks to anybody.
Plus those cool-looking eyes... [Naila] No.
- [Bri] Guys-
- [Thomas] Stop.
We got a freaking
skin walker, this is so cool.
No, she probably stalks her
prey and then follows them home.
And then she uses some
sort of alien technology
[Thomas] I don't think it's aliens, bro.
To transport them back to her base
so that she can probe them.
[Naila] Does that make sense to you?
And Aana is probably in on it
so she's working as an undercover agent
pretending to be a bus driver.
[Naila] Do you hear
yourself when you talk?
You sound crazy.
And she's working with my mom
that's why she's always around my mom
[Thomas] You are crazy.
Giving her information
about the missing kids.
You guys, this is so cool.
[Thomas] What is cool about this?
The missing kids part, that's still bad.
[Naila] Thank you, Captain Obvious.
I know, but we're hunting
aliens, I was right.
I can make us matching hats.
Oh, we're gonna have matching hats?
Yes, isn't that cool?
No.
Well, you don't have
to be rude about it.
Have fun getting abducted, geez.
I'll get you a matching
hat, Tom, - Please don't.
So, like we talked about,
we're all gonna change the
homework just a little bit.
No... So that they don't
know that we cheated.
Shut up.
I'm not gonna shut
up, that's a bad idea.
Please, I promise I won't
No, do not change the whole thing.
Okay, so just like a little bit.
- No.
- Just a little bit.
What is wrong with the both of you?
No one's gonna know.
Nothing's wrong, everybody does this.
Everybody does this, Tom.
- No
Everybody does it.
Literally everybody does it.
Okay, don't listen to him.
Hi, how have you been?
- Tired.
- Oh, yeah.
[Naila] Just make sure
you change it a little bit
so they don't know that you copied.
[Bri] Okay.
[Naila] Because I don't want
to talk to Mr. Johnson again
[Bri] It's a lot of
extra work to do that.
[Naila] You don't think
it's extra work for me
to do the homework for all of us?
It's like... [Thomas] Why would you cheat?
[Naila] I mean, it's easier to do that.
- [Thomas] No, don't cheat.
- [Bri] Okay, guys,
I gotta head out.
Bye.
[Naila] Bye.
[Thomas] I don't know
it's just... Just go home.
Nerd.
(tense music)
(Atiyana speaks indistinctly)
(Naila laughs)
(tense music)
Maybe they're right.
Maybe I was dreaming when
I fell asleep on the bus.
(voices whispering)
(thunder rumbles)
(tense music)
(Naila panting)
(child cries)
[Child] Help us.
(tense music)
Okay.
This isn't crazy at all.
Okay, this is fine, this is fine.
I'm not going crazy at all.
I'm not going crazy.
(suspenseful music)
(car whooshes)
(crickets chirping)
(suspenseful music)
[Aana] Yes, that's it.
You got it.
(voices crying)
(Naila panting)
(Fraus growling)
[Fraus] We are getting close.
If the coven finds out
[Aana] The coven?
The coven... [Fraus] It's complicated.
Police are getting close.
If the coven finds out
[Aana] We have come too far to stop now.
[Fraus] If the coven
finds out, we both are dead.
The coven.
My mother would love that, wouldn't she?
Watching me fail,
watching her own daughter,
the one born without a
single spark of magic
come crawl back to her in disgrace.
But this?
Stealing life from children?
This is wrong, Aana.
There must be another way.
[Aana] Another way?
I have searched my entire
life for another way.
But every spell, every ritual,
every ounce of power, all
of it, flows through you.
I have no magic.
And my mother, the great
leader of the coven,
makes sure I never forget it.
[Fraus] And if she finds out
that you've been bending the rules,
taking magic that isn't yours,
she's going to destroy you.
And she's going to destroy us.
Well maybe she finds (indistinct).
(creature squelching)
This child, this life
that we are creating,
she will be my legacy, a
daughter with real power.
I won't have to rely on anyone,
especially not my mother.
I'll be free of her and the coven.
At what cost?
Look, if you are too weak
to finish this, tell me now.
But don't you dare stand in my way.
Either you help me create a future
where I don't live in
her shadows or you leave.
There are other ways to create werewolves.
But remember, Fraus,
I saved you from the streets
when no one else would.
Without me, you'd still
be begging for scraps
outside the coven walls or worse.
(tense music)
(case growls)
(creature squelches)
(tense music)
(werewolf growls)
(doorbell rings)
(vase shatters)
(Naila gasps)
Did you hear that?
(door knocks)
Keep it calm.
We don't want any unwanted attention.
(door knocks)
(doorbell rings)
(door knocks)
Good evening.
I know who you are.
You're secret service agents, right?
You're investigating missing children.
[Aana] What makes you think that, child?
Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell anybody.
I just wanna help, okay?
Look, my friends and I,
we've been investigating too.
And we even know about the
girl with multicolored eyes,
which you also have those eyes.
Do your parents know you're here?
Oh, nah, they're asleep.
I know if I asked them to join you,
they'd say I'm too young.
But I figure since I'm
already on your bus route,
I can help you keep an eye out.
You know, the aliens.
(voice chanting indistinctly)
(wind whooshing)
[Voice] Run.
(heart thudding)
(Naila panting)
(Naila sighs)
Thanks, Bri.

(Naila sighs)
Honey, I'm leaving for work.
(door creaks)
Oh, crap, Mom wait.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, try to rest.
You've been excused for the week.
Do you remember?
Mom.
Call me if you need me.
Love you.
Oh, crap.
(traffic whooshing)
Thank you for helping me.
Got you.
(wings fluttering)
(creature roars)
(water sloshes)
(footsteps thudding)
(birds tweeting)
Halt.
It's the solstice.
There was blood on the moon
last night, unfortunately.
We need your permission
to do a banishment ritual.
Yes.
Thank you.
(guard growls)
[Thomas] These symbols here.
They're the same ones
carved into the walls.
What do they mean?
I'm afraid these
symbols, they mean nothing.
Nothing, just nothing of importance.
I got these from Aana Water's house.
[Naani] Did you say Aana Water?
Yeah.
You know her, don't you?
[Naani] I don't know
any one of that name.
And if that's all, I have things to do.
And I'll need you to delete these photos
and forget everything that you've seen.
This conversation is over.
(footsteps receding)
(dramatic music)
[Witch] Claudia.
What is it?
I think we found something.
Okay?
The children.
I think Wicca's daughter
has something to do with it.
Tell me what you know,
and speak only to me.
What did Aana do?
(tense music)
Have you heard from Bri?
[Naila] What's wrong with you?
[Thomas] Have you heard from Bri?
No, she never takes her
phone to school, you know that.
[Thomas] Why didn't you answer my texts?
I was busy.
Okay, fine, I was asleep.
Why aren't you in school?
Listen to me.
Something's going on, something weird.
Weirder than you being in my house?
Nevermind that.
Those pictures you sent,
I did some research.
[Naila] Okay?
[Thomas] Look, those
symbols match a building
on the east end at the
Sullivan Road store district.
Okay, so what?
[Thomas] So I went there.
You went there?
[Thomas] Yeah, I did.
No, not, "Yeah, I did."
We could have went there on the weekend.
I had to.
Look, it's about Bri.
Something is seriously wrong with her.
Look, we were waiting for the bus,
she was weird, she was quiet.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Quiet?
No, Bri's never quiet.
She literally would not say a thing.
She just looked at me the whole time.
[Naila] Okay.
Okay, I'll admit that's a little weird.
Very weird.
But not skip school for
something stupid weird.
Well, get this.
When we got on the bus, I looked at her,
her eye color changed, Nai.
[Naila] What?
Yes, just like that quiet girl.
Look, it's crazy but that's
what happened, I swear.
No, it doesn't sound
crazy, Thomas, I believe you.
[Thomas] Right?
And when I got off the bus
before the door closed,
Aana gave me a look.
She even called me by my name.
She never calls us by our names.
Ever.
Okay.
Okay.
This is bad.
[Thomas] Yeah.
That means they know.
[Thomas] Know what?
Oh, my God.
[Thomas] What?
Bri.
[Thomas] What about Bri?
Okay.
Okay.
Bri was there when I broke in.
She wasn't there when I left, okay?
So I thought that she got home safely.
Oh, my God.
I think they switched
Bri like they did Stacey.
That's not all.
I followed the lead you sent me.
[Naila] Okay?
I went to a building that
shared the exact same markings.
I showed them a photo and told
them where it was discovered.
I talked to a woman,
I asked them if they knew
a woman called Aana Water.
The lady who I spoke to denied it,
but I could tell, I
could tell she was lying.
Yeah.
I don't understand, why
would you tell them that?
Look, when I got off the
bus, before the doors closed,
I heard a woman whisper,
"Sacrifice summoned."
The other said, "Lycan."
What the hell?
Yeah.
You know what it means?
I searched it up, that means werewolf.
[Naila] Thomas, holy shit.
But they still pretended
to not know what the text
or the symbol meant.
They told me to leave.
(tense music)
Okay, Thomas, we have
to call the police.
[Thomas] What?
No.
Are you crazy?
We can't prove anything.
What do you mean, no?
So we're just supposed to sit around
and act like nothing's happening?
- That's not what I said.
- [Naila] So what do you mean?
I'm just, we need evidence, okay?
We need solid proof.
Look, why don't we just record them
and see if something sticks, all right?
It's a solid plan, Nai.
Thomas, this better work.
[Thomas] It's gonna work.
It'll work.
First, where does Aana park that bus?
(door rattles)
(tense music)
(door rattles)

(ears ringing)
(necklace clattering)
(door creaking)
Wait.
Okay, okay.
(power rumbles)
We have to find them.
They know entirely too much.
We have to finish the ritual tonight.
(birds calling)
I told you, I told you and
you didn't wanna believe me.
We're going to the police now.
We don't have time.
Bri might still be in there.
If we don't go now, she is gone.
You know what?
Screw this.
Okay, let me get my bat first at least.
(door thuds)
[Thomas] You sure you
know where you're going?
You go if you're so sure.
I don't wanna to go.
- Go.
- What?
Go.
Shh, quiet.
(suspenseful music)
- Wait, wait.
- [Naila] What?
What?
Flashlight.
[Naila] Seriously?
[Thomas] What?
(suspenseful music)
[Naila] Okay, careful.
I know.
(suspenseful music)
(Bri crying)
Bri?
Naila.
Thomas.
It wasn't aliens, they're witches.
Hurry, come on, let's get her up.
(bat clatters)
You know, breaking in and
entering is a serious crime.
(tense music)
(Fraus laughs)
(bones cracking)
(smoke whooshes)
(tense music)
Let us go.
(Bri sobbing)
Help me.
(Bri gagging)
(tense music)
(Bri screams)
(dramatic music)
I can feel it.
I can feel its heartbeat.
I want more.
I can feel its magic swelling in me.
Do you see, Fraus?
Just a weak little life gone in a blink.
She was nothing, just like the others.
And yet you hesitate.
How many times must I remind you
of what we're creating here.
These children, they were meant
to serve a higher purpose,
something beyond their
small, insignificant lives.
Without their energy,
without their sacrifice,
we have nothing,
just another group of women
hiding in the shadows,
bowing to humans and their rules.
But not this time.
This life within me, she
will change everything.
She will be the one to bring
our kind out of the shadows.
A new beginning.
One where we no longer live in fear.
And you, Fraus, you are a part of this.
We've come too far to stop now.
(Aana growls)
Only those that do what's
needed are remembered, Fraus.
Now do it.

Stop.
Where are we going?
Anywhere but here.
Come on.
Wait.
Come on, let's go, let's go.
(power zaps)
You two have seen way too much.
[Thomas] We won't say anything, please.
(power zapping)
(explosion booms)
That's enough, Claudia.
They're witnesses.
They are a threat.
Just listen to me.
I can fix this.
I'll use my inception magic
to wipe their memories.
You can have that cop help
us, give them new identities.
Let them live normal lives
somewhere far from all of this.
They led us here and saved
God knows how many kids,
they should not die.
Lincoln.
Lincoln, that's the cop, right?
Help them.
I do not like this.
Helping them could be the end of us.
They are a threat to the coven.
That bitch, Aana, and
Fraus are the threat.
We killed Fraus and
Aana will be dealt with.
If you kill them,
then you are no better
than those evil witches.
Use Lincoln.
Give them new identities,
let them start over.
Or kill me stopping you.
So you're proposing witness
protection with magic?
I'm proposing mercy.
Your names are Rodney and Kaprice.
You're brother and sister.
You lost your parents,
and you live to love
and protect each other.
(dramatic music)
You know, I really hope
you know what you're doing.

Sit down.
I said sit down.
Your memories will come soon.
But know this now, you're all that's left.
Your family, it's gone.
You're two siblings that got lost,
and my sister helped you.
Do you understand?
(crickets chirping)
(traffic whooshing)
Lieutenant Lincoln Dott.
I'm here to help you guys.
This is who you are now.
This is gonna be a reminder.
The address where you live
is right here at the top.
And stay outta trouble.
You're gonna be just fine.
You sure this is going to work?
I'm taking a huge risk here, Claudia.
We should have just gotten in the car
to handle this the right way.
Mm-mm, Aana is the
eldest child of our leader.
If the Midnight Society found
out, it would start a war.
It's best we handle this discreetly.
So you're telling me
these kids aren't gonna remember anything?
Trinity's amnesia magic
is permanent on humans.
Well
[Lincoln] Well what, Claudia?
Only another witch can break the spell.
And trust me, no other witch
is gonna know about this.
And I know you not gonna say anything.
[Lincoln] Do I have a choice, Claudia?
One day you're gonna get me killed.
Yes.
But not today.
(power zaps)
Damn.
I hate that she does that.
You kids need a ride?
That's a long walk.
(door knocks)
(door knocking)
(door knocking)
Hi, Ma'am.
I was wondering if
someone still lives here.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Okay then.
(both gasp)
(dramatic music)
(voices whispering)
(door slams)
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my friend
Try not to cry if your time is up
I don't give a fuck about what you say
You had all the time
(Atiyana cries)
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye my friend
Try not to cry your time is up
I don't give a fuck about what you say
You had all the time you
played me like a game
Naila?
Naila.
Naila.
Naila.
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my friend
I know you thought to give up
'Cause you toxic
You wanna go and start
destroying some girls
I know you need a peacock
'Cause you toxic
You wanna go away
Call somebody else with
the same old tricks
I am no longer mesmerized by it
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
Kapri.
Don't tell me, the chihuahua again?
[Naila] Thomas.
