The Brotherhood 2: Young Warlocks (2001) Movie Script
(eerie music)
- [John] My senior year
at the Chandler Academy
private school began like
any other, unfortunately.
Rich kids whose parents
sent them to private school,
either out of tradition
or the misguided notion
that if you paid tuition
to go to high school,
you were somehow better
off than public school.
Wrong.
This place was as bad as a
public school, maybe even worse.
The uniforms, the
bureaucracy, the conformity,
and most of these guys
conformed, except for my friends.
This is Marcus Ratner, one
of my two best friends.
I think if you said
Marcus was a troublemaker,
that would be an understatement.
I don't think I can remember one week
and the whole time I've known him
where he wasn't either in
trouble with the police
or in trouble with the school.
I don't think he does it intentionally,
he just can't help himself.
Of course, doing dumb stuff like this
probably isn't making it any easier.
Headmistress Grimes.
For some reason, she singled us out.
Watch this like a hawk.
Maybe because we were outcasts
we became easy targets for her.
(compelling music)
If Marcus was the troublemaker,
then Matt Slayton, my other
best friend, was the con artist,
always playing poker,
starting betting pools,
working some scam.
(compelling music)
As you can see, I had
my work cut out for me
because the law of averages
states for every John Van Owen,
AKA me, there has to be an
equal and opposite number.
And there he is, Harlan Ratcliffe.
I mean, look at this guy.
He's prettier than most of
the girls I've gone out with.
And you just knew this
guy was set for life.
There he is now, showing off his pecs
with his two towees, Randall and Alex.
Now to set this up for you,
Alex, that's this guy
here, he's dating Trini.
She's the one on the left.
(compelling music)
And meanwhile...
(gentle instrumental music)
Ta-da!
That's me, John Van Owen,
giving Mary, she's the one on the right,
the thousand yard stare.
Do I even need to tell
you what happens next?
(compelling music)
You see what I mean?
Of course I had no idea at the time
that Headmistress
Grimes, Harlan Ratcliffe,
and the whole rich-dog-eat-poor-dog system
at Chandler Academy was going to be
the least of my problems,
and my life was about to change forever.
(suspenseful music)
(cards shuffling)
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, guys, now moving right along.
These are the stocks
of Salem's Town Square,
and they were used as a form of punishment
for what we would consider
a felony misdemeanor today.
Now, these are ceremonial knives,
believed to be used by the Celtic
and Druidic cults of the time.
In other words, witches and warlocks.
This dagger called Spirit's Tooth
was the main tool used
by a witch or warlock
during this period.
And they used it in their sacrificing,
in their practicing of alchemy,
in the creation of their
spells and incantations,
and to create a bond among
the members of the coven.
Bodily fluids were shared or anointed,
particularly blood and tears,
things that a witch or warlock believed
held a particularly strong bond.
Needless to say, the spirits-
- Hey.
We should've taken pottery instead.
- Matt, you idiot, shut up.
You're gonna us both in trouble.
- Hey. Did you see who's in our class?
- No.
- Mary Stewart, your dream girl.
- Really?
- Well, in other words,
for every evil that exists,
there is an equal and opposite good
that is just as powerful
to balance it out.
But of course, now we know today
that witches and warlocks
really had no true powers.
Any questions so far?
Any big words you guys want me to explain?
(cards shuffling)
Well, well, well, what's this?
Looks like you're setting
up for a game of poker.
We don't get to the poker
portion of the curriculum
till the second term.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Stevens.
Were these cards distracting you?
- No, but they might be distracting you
'cause I'm selfish when it
comes to teaching a class.
I like to have everybody's
undivided attention.
- Well, actually, I've
listened to every word
that you've said so far.
- Well, I find that hard to believe
being you look like a Las Vegas
blackjack dealer back here.
- I'm listening to you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Now that you ask, I can tell you
that I disagree with much
of what you just said.
- You don't say?
- You know, you stand there and you sneer
at witches and warlocks,
yet I notice you wear a
crucifix around your neck.
Now, isn't that a little hypocritical?
How can you be unbiased
if you favor one religion over another?
- Oh, so you're agnostic.
- Quite the contrary.
I know exactly what I believe in.
- Well, I'm happy to hear that.
However, you have to give up those cards.
- Personally, I believe in magic.
- Okay, that was a good trick.
To teach that one to me
now that I have a new
deck of cards, I mean.
- Oh, I'd love to teach
you a trick or two.
(school bell ringing)
- Class dismissed.
(cheerful student chatter)
Hey, John, you got a minute?
It's nothing heavy, I promise.
I just wanna congratulate
you on your history paper.
You got an A.
- Really?
Wow.
- It's my pleasure.
Believe me, it makes me feel
like I'm doing something right.
- Well, I always did love history.
- Well, it shows.
Look, I know you feel like
you get dumped on around here,
but you are an excellent student
and I like having you in this class.
I know it's tough to fit
in in a place like this.
- Yeah.
- Just hang in there.
If you ever need anyone to
talk to, if you have a problem,
if you just want some help,
then please come to me.
- Okay.
- You got someone
looking out for you.
Now go catch up with your friends.
- [Matt] So what did Ms. Stevens want?
- I got an A on my history paper.
- Hey, not too shabby.
So what's the problem?
- Look, the reason I never asked Mary out
is because she's one of the
popular people, and I'm not.
- So?
- Do you know what everybody here
thinks of guys like you and me and Marcus?
They think we're freaks that
wound up here by accident.
- What?
I think you finally flipped out, John.
I mean, you are not a bad-looking guy.
If you were a girl, I'd do ya.
- Don't you ever wanna fit
in, just once in a while?
- I don't wanna be like everyone else.
I wanna be better than everyone else.
- Hi, John.
You got a minute?
- Whoa. How did that happen?
- Hi.
- See you around, poor boy.
- Hi.
- Hi yourself.
- I wanted to talk to you.
I'm sorry about earlier today.
- Oh, forget it.
Actually, I'm mad at you.
- Me? Why?
- Well, I've been waiting
for you to ask me out
for like two years, you idiot.
- I didn't think you even knew I existed.
- Well, do you care to start catching up?
- You know, you're making fun of me.
I need to get to biology.
- No, wait, we still have this unresolved
issue to deal with.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about our first date, silly.
- What?
(eerie music)
- Listen, I'm a coffee and small talk gal.
So why don't you say we go to the V Cafe,
Friday around eight-ish.
- I don't put out unless
you spring for dinner.
(Mary chuckles)
- One hurdle at a time, Donlon.
Why don't we start out with a latte?
And then we'll work our way up
to a real date this weekend.
School's out for semester break.
- A real date?
- Yeah.
So Friday coffee, 8:00.
Don't be late or I'll kill you.
- A real date.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
(Marcus coughing)
- Hi ya, Marcus.
- Hi.
- I'm surprised you jog
as much as you smoke.
- Oh, you know, I'm trying to cut back.
On the jogging.
- Good one, Ratner.
You dig it, jogging?
- Yeah, what's going on, Harlan?
I mean, why you all of a
sudden being nice to me?
- Hell, man, I'm just
trying to make conversation.
I can't be a jerk all the time.
I figured, "What the hell? Ratner's okay."
I don't know about
Slayton and John Van Owen,
but Ratner's all right.
- I'm flattered, man. Thanks.
- "I'm flattered," he says.
That nut.
- You mean he wasn't bowled over
by your sparkling personality?
- How's it going, Marcus?
We do this every afternoon.
How come we've never seen you here before?
- Oh, I just started this week.
- Marcus is all right.
- Yeah. Too bad about his lame friends.
- Hey, ease up, okay?
I mean, I'd take it personally
if someone talked about my lame friends.
- Screw you, Harlan.
- It's time to hit the lockers.
- I'm done.
- Me too.
- Later.
- You coming?
- Yeah, sure man. You bet.
(upbeat music)
(music fades)
(taps squeaking)
(water running)
- Man, I'm ready for semester break.
- You got big plans?
- I don't know, is getting
butt-ass wasted for a week
considered big plans?
- Sounds like a good idea to me.
- Trini's folks are going outta town.
We got the whole place to ourselves.
- You guys finally gonna do the deed?
- Hey, man. What is that?
- Yeah, what is that, Alex?
- You wanna know what this is?
- Sure.
- It's a permanent marker. India ink.
You get it on your skin,
it almost never comes off.
- I don't get it.
(eerie music)
Stop it, man! Come on, guys!
- Nice view, Marcus.
You sure you've never done this before?
- Stop, Harlan!
- Keep screaming, Marcus.
The doors are locked.
Nobody's gonna be in here for hours.
I made sure of it.
- What are you doing, man?
- You mean what am I gonna do?
Kill you maybe!
Or worse.
- I don't think he's ready to
settle down just yet, Harlan.
Maybe you should have
taken him to dinner first.
- Well, I can tell you this much, Ratner.
It won't hurt too much.
All I wanna do is write a little message,
just an itty-bitty one.
- Let me go!
Man, let me go!
- Don't make it any worse than it is,
or else I'll that Randall and Alex here
get in a few good kicks,
once I write a little message
on your cute little butt.
(Randall snickers)
Hmm, what should we do here?
- How about "Mother?"
(Randall snickers)
- Good choice, but no.
I have something better.
I know.
All right, I'll write
"my pussy" on his back
with an arrow pointing down.
- You guys are gonna
get expelled for this!
- Really?
At this point, Grimes would believe me,
even if I told her you did it to yourself
then showed us like you were interested.
Now don't move, this is
just gonna hurt worse.
(tense music)
- Don't mind me, fellas.
- Why don't you breeze the
hell outta here, new kid.
(intense music)
- Wow, that was easy.
- I don't think you realize
just what kind of trouble
you're getting into.
I'm gonna kill you.
Stop screwing around.
- I don't see it in your eyes, Harlan.
I don't see you killing anybody.
Matter of fact, would you like to see
which one of us ends up dead?
I'll bet it's gonna be you.
- Look, we weren't gonna
do anything to him.
We're just gonna scare him.
- Well, now that it's you and not him,
I think it's even funnier.
Now, let's see.
You were gonna write
"my pussy" on his back.
I like that, but instead, I'm
gonna write it on your face
with a narrow pointing to
your cute little mouth.
Come on, Harlan.
I thought you was gonna kill me.
- You're dead.
You wait.
- Oh, come on, I don't like to wait.
Why don't you and your little
girlfriends come back here
and we'll finish this up right now.
- Guess it isn't hard to
go get toweled off, huh?
- Where the hell did you come from?
Not that I'm complaining or anything.
- No kidding.
(thunder rumbling)
(door clicks open)
- Where the hell have you been all day?
- Yeah, we looked for
you at the commissary.
- Are you guys busy?
- I just gotta whip John's
butt in five cards stud,
but otherwise, no.
- I gotta start my Latin studies.
- All right, well drop it, both of you.
- Are we gonna party?
- Let's just say I got
a fourth for bridge.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Listen, if I sat down and told you guys
what happened to me today, we'd
be here all freaking night.
Come on. I'll tell you on the way.
- On the way to where?
(thunder rumbling)
(door slams shut)
- Are you sure about this, Marcus?
- Why?
- Yeah, shouldn't this place
be locked up or something?
- Guys, this is a private school.
They don't ever lock
anything up around here.
Beside, pool's open in 24 hours.
Come on, he's waiting inside.
- Who's waiting for us inside?
(suspenseful music)
(door clicking open)
(door squeaks)
(suspenseful music)
(door slams shut)
(suspenseful music)
- The new guy!
- Yeah, you're the dude
with all the card tricks.
- But of course.
I'm Luc, and you are?
- John Van Owen.
- Matt.
- You guys getting in or what?
- I'm game.
(suspenseful music)
(water splashes)
(upbeat rock music)
(music fades out)
(gentle instrumental music)
- So where you from anyway, Luc?
- All over the place.
- Parents move around a lot.
- No.
Never really got a chance to know my mom.
It's kinda like I never even had one.
As for my dad, well, me and my
dad don't get along anymore.
I got in some trouble a
while back, got kicked out.
All we do is fight, I'm
mainly long distance.
- With you on that one, man.
My parents couldn't give a damn
if I rotted in here or in jail.
Except it sounds better
at the country club
when they tell their rich
friends that I'm away at school
instead of in minimum
security over at Riverview.
- My parents wanted to put me on Prozac.
- You know, this is a great place.
I'm surprised you guys
haven't done this before.
- Yeah.
Sounds like you plan on
making this a regular thing.
- Well, we'll see.
So what's the deal with this Harlan guy?
You guys act like he's the
antichrist or something.
He's not.
He's just a weak little boy
trapped in a man's body.
once you see him as he
really is, he ain't nothing.
- I tried, man. Believe me.
- Well, you're just lashing out
at him because you're angry.
He pushes all the right buttons
and you just go exactly
where he wants you to go.
- So what makes you so special?
- I'm not really that
different than anybody else.
Except in one way, one major way.
See, I'm a student of the soul.
I figure things out about people.
Gotten to be really good at it.
So if you can figure
out how people operate,
you pretty much know how
to get by in this world.
- Oh, yeah?
That's a bull if you ask me.
- Well, what I told you about yourself
wasn't necessarily
pretty, but it was true.
- Yeah, but it doesn't explain
how you kicked Harlan's butt.
- I'm here to help.
- Right.
- You guys all have one think in common.
You all want something you can never have.
What if I told you I could
promise you all those things,
right here, right now?
- You're just messing with our heads.
- You could rule over guys like Harlan,
and that's just one part of it.
Just a small part of it.
You want girls? You can have 'em.
You want teachers to be scared
into giving you good grades
and preferential treatment?
You can have it too.
You could rule this school.
You could command respect
from your parents.
You could have anything you want.
- Yeah, and all you have to have
is $1 million dollars in the bank.
- No, all you need is me.
All I ask of you is your friendship,
your loyalty, and your honesty.
You give me these three
things unconditionally,
I'll give you the world.
It's just psychology.
Hypnosis, that sort of thing.
Some guys at another school that I went to
went through the same ritual with me,
and that's how I was able to learn
all the things that I'm gonna teach you.
- Should we do it?
- I don't know.
- It's symbolic.
You have to trust me.
You drink the tears,
it opens up your mind.
That's all.
Your subconscious opens up.
And remember when Ms. Stevens
was talking about witches
and warlocks in class?
It's the same thing.
The magic begins when
your mind believes in it.
First, you break this taboo,
and then I'll show you
how to break 10 others.
- What 10?
- The ones that you're supposed to follow.
- The 10 commandments.
- You break those,
and all the conditioning
that you're brought up with
just disappears.
- What about murder?
- Symbolic murder, John.
Not real.
Seems to me this is a
perfect place for a baptism.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- I dunno about this.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Hey, what's wrong, man?
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- It's a part of the ritual.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- He's not lying, man.
This is awesome.
You guys have to try this.
- Trust me.
Things are about to change.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(Matt gasps)
- Oh, man.
(eerie music)
- Your turn.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Okay.
- I need extra proof from you.
I need to know that you really want this.
Taste them.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
Break the taboo, John.
That's why you're here.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(John exhales)
- God.
- God has nothing to do with this.
- Man, I'm telling you,
this is probably the most
screwed up Friday night we've ever had.
(Matt laughs)
- [John] Did you ever meet someone
who could sell you the world?
Somebody who could seduce you
into believing anything 20
minutes after meeting them?
That's what Luc was like.
We were the freaks and
outcasts in a perfect world,
and this stranger was promising to give us
everything we ever longed for,
things we couldn't even
admit to each other,
and we bought it.
- What are you guys doing in here?
- Well, hey, Randall.
- You remember Randall, Marcus.
He likes to write messages.
- Look, guys, I didn't
mean anything from today.
It's Harlan.
I mean, you know how Harlan is, right?
- Things are about to change, Randall.
Grab him.
(Randall panicking)
(intense music)
(upbeat, groovy music)
(school bell ringing)
- [John] What's wrong?
- You didn't hear?
- What's up?
- It's Randall.
They found him in the
pool house this morning.
He drowned last night
in the swimming pool.
- Yeah, they found an empty
bottle of whiskey by the pool.
He must've gotten drunk and
fell in, but he broke his neck.
- Hey, it happens.
I guess alcohol and swimming
pools just don't mix well.
- Guys, Randall's dead.
What's going on?
- I don't know anything about it. Do you?
- That idiot drowns
himself in a swimming pool.
I mean, it's no great loss if you ask me.
- What's your problem, Grimes?
See something you like?
- Man, if I hadn't seen
it, I wouldn't believe it.
What if she expels you?
- She won't.
Me and Headmistress Grimes
have a whole new understanding.
- Holy cannoli, John.
We're gonna be freaking kings.
- [John] Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not lie.
We'd already begun.
Luc told us that we had to break all 10.
And who knows how many we'd already done
without even thinking about it.
(groovy, tense music)
And so it began.
We were on our way to
fulfilling our new destinies
in a manner we never envisioned before.
Our schoolwork, our personal
lives, and our own goals.
We were the ones running the show now,
not Harlan, not Randall, not Alex.
We knocked over the 10 commandments
like a stack of dominoes.
Later, I would've reason to suspect
that Luc used some wild and
holy mind control powers
on us that night in the pool room,
but now I believe that this was
the only truth Luc ever told us.
The thing driving us was something
that might have been there all along.
(groovy, tense music)
Thou shall honor thy
mother and thy father.
(tense, eerie music)
(glass shatters)
(tense, eerie music)
(school bell rings)
(groovy, tense music)
- Jesus Christ, lady, what's your problem?
Wanna put the head in head mistress?
- [John] Thou shalt not take
thy lord's name in vain.
(eerie, suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(deep throat singing)
(eerie, suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
Thou shalt not have any God before me.
Thou shalt not worship thy graven image.
(eerie music swells)
(music fades)
(heartbeat thumping)
(suspenseful music)
Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's possessions.
(suspenseful music)
Thou shalt not steal.
(car alarm blaring)
(suspenseful music)
(eerie music)
They had covered almost all the bases,
and somewhere I knew Luc was
getting stronger because of it.
And even though it felt
like I was living in
some horrific nightmare, I
knew it was just starting.
- I was beginning to get worried.
- Really? Why?
- Well, I haven't seen
you around for a while.
You've been hiding out for me, or what?
- I...
I've just been busy.
- Well, you know we're
gonna have a whole week off
for semester break.
You plan on being busy then, too,
or is it safe for me to go
ahead and buy that diaphragm?
- What?
- I'm sorry, I'm just
trying to get your attention
off that tabletop.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I'm really screwing up this date.
- Well, you do seem to be
jumping on every word I say.
Oh my God, is that a smile?
- It's a start.
- Well, thank God.
For a second there, I thought
I was losing my touch.
- No, no. It's definitely not you.
It's just the schoolwork's
starting to pile up on me.
That's all.
- Are you sure?
- I'm totally sure.
- I mean, is there something going on?
'Cause you've been
acting totally different.
I mean, all three of you guys,
it's like you've changed
- Why? You think it's bad?
Because I have nice clothes?
Because I care about what I look like
or because I have confidence now?
Look, I don't know about you,
but I think it's a change for the better.
- Okay, whoa. Just calm down, okay?
That's all well and good,
but I liked you just fine before, okay?
- I'm sorry.
- Listen, I think I know why
you've been acting so weird.
- Really?
- Well, yeah.
I mean, you're afraid.
You just have this
whole thing in your head
about how I might be in a different class
of people than you are
and that I couldn't possibly
be attracted to you.
- Sounds like you've been
talking to good ol' Matt.
- Well, it's possible,
but it's also possible that
I might have asked him.
Listen, I like you a lot, okay?
I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
So there must be something
unique about you, yes?
- Really?
(Mary scoffs)
- Really.
I wouldn't lie to you.
Of course, unless you were stinking rich
and wanted to put me in your will.
- Well, I guess I'll just
have to bear that in mind
when I inherit my first million.
- Hmm.
Promises, promises.
(door clicks open)
(thunder rumbling)
(eerie music)
What's wrong?
- I gotta get back to the dorms.
- What? John-
- I'm sorry.
- Wait.
John!
Ugh, what the hell?
I suppose I've had worse dates,
only I don't know when.
(Mary sighs)
- I was hoping you'd
come out here to see me.
Did I interrupt something?
- What do you want?
- You don't seem very
happy that I'm here, John.
- No, it's not that.
- John, I like you.
I like Marcus and Matt too,
but you're on another level entirely.
You follow your own drummer.
I like that.
You're good. You're honest.
You're a true friend.
And I've told you nothing but the truth,
no matter how crazy the truth sounds.
I said this would happen.
- You said what would happen?
- Do you really think she'd be
with you if it wasn't for me?
- We made this date before I even met you.
- I gave Mary to you.
I watched you from afar.
I admired you, I watched you grow.
Mary is a gift.
And I have many more gifts for you
as long as you give me
something in return.
- You're crazy.
You didn't give me Mary.
You haven't given any of us anything.
It's just some sort of mind control.
- You're not so sure that are you, John?
Now, I'm offering you a chance to belong
and belong to the winning team,
but you keep turning me away.
I think you're jealous maybe.
Can't you see what I've
become to your friends?
- What do you want from me?
- You haven't been doing your share, John.
You're awfully low on the old
commandment breaking scale.
It's time I gave you an errand.
- What kind of errand?
- It's an easy one.
I want you to talk to Trini for us.
You know Mary's friend?
- No way.
You do it.
- You have a reason to talk to her, John.
You're dating Mary, she trusts you.
So what you do is you go
over to her dorm room,
tell her you'll do some
homework with her, that's all.
- Why would I do that?
Maybe I should just walk away right now,
see what happens.
- You know what happens, John.
Mary leaves you, your friends
leave you, and I leave you.
And that one fleeting chance that you had
of success, wealth, and
power, it's all gone.
Now, think about that.
Do you really wanna take that chance?
I want you to talk to Trini tonight.
You have an hour.
Choose wisely.
- [John] And I did.
I can't say why I did it.
I think I was making a choice,
or I thought I was making one.
I wanted to be with my friends again,
even though I couldn't quite see
their own personalities anymore.
When I looked into their
eyes, all I saw was Luc.
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- So how are things going with Mary?
She can't stop talking about you.
- Is that good?
- Ask her yourself.
(door swings open)
What the hell are you guys doing here?
- Well, we knew this is where John was
and we couldn't resist a chance
to break into the girl's dorm.
Everybody, put your
clothes back on, please.
(Matt snickering)
- You guys wish.
- It's gotta be a little
hard to be romantic
without the wine, isn't it?
- Is that...
- Yep, alcohol!
Boys in the girls' dorms,
is Headmistress Grimes gonna be pissed!
- I'll pass.
- Me too.
- No, I say a little sip of wine
ain't gonna hurt either of you two.
- No.
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- Okay, I guess a sip won't hurt.
Wow, it's not as bad
as I would've thought.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(Trini giggles)
What are they doing?
- Well, Trini, I'll tell ya,
they're getting a place all comfy for us.
- I should go.
- No, you should watch, John.
(Trini giggling)
- Comfy? For me?
- Yes.
(Trini giggles)
But look, guys, my boyfriend, Alex.
Well, you know Alex.
- Shh.
(seductive music)
(thunder rumbling)
(seductive music)
- [John] I could not help myself.
I was part of this,
part of the brotherhood.
I was drawn into it.
I was under Luc's power.
I just couldn't stop.
(seductive music)
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- [Luc] Did you enjoy
yourselves this evening?
- I thought we got her
off to a good start.
- Real good.
- But that's just the beginning for us.
(tense music)
- Is that a-
- That's right.
It's a Spirit's Tooth,
the warlock knife that Mrs. Stevens
was going on and on about the other day.
- Where the hell did you get that?
- Like you said, it's a private school.
They don't lock up anything around here.
- They really use it in witchcraft?
- Why do you think I took it?
I'm a warlock.
(tense music)
How do you think I've done
the things that I've done
or how you've gotten the
powers that you have?
I've given you a glimpse
of what I'm capable of.
- So you're like Dungeons and Dragons?
Merlin and the hat, and
Fireballs and stuff?
- No, nothing like that.
I make offerings to certain forces,
and certain forces grant
me things in return.
You guys are popular now.
You command respect.
I've given you everything you ever wanted,
and that's just a glimpse
of what you could have.
- So what are you saying?
- I need three more to
make the ritual complete.
Three more warlocks.
- Are you serious, man?
- Totally.
- Luc, you've made a believer outta me.
- Is that we're sitting around like this?
- It's the next part of the process.
I'll give each of you a Spirit's Tooth.
When you commit a sacrifice,
you'll have committed the final act.
You will have the power within yourself.
- You mean like murder?
- What do you think happened to Randall?
- Did you...
Did you kill him?
- I wouldn't hurt a flea
as far as you're concerned.
You take your souls
back from your enemies,
and you take their souls along with it.
When you do that, you will
be empowered for life.
No one will ever cause
you pain or fear again.
You start with breaking
the 10 commandments.
You've already broken nine.
There's one more.
Thou shall not kill.
- I don't wanna kill anybody, man.
- No?
Well, Randall's dead,
and your problems at the
school are much more closer
to being solved.
You have the power to solve
anything if you really want to.
Complete our promise.
This weekend is semester break.
Everybody's gonna be gone.
It'll be perfect.
You've laid the groundworks,
but now you have to build on that.
- Like how?
- You have to make an offering
to the Spirit's Tooth.
Kill the one you hate the most.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(heartbeat thumping)
This is the way it must be.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
(music quietens)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
- We bind ourselves to him.
We pledge to destroy him
and anyone who follows him.
We have but one master;
the Dark One, the Fallen
Angel, Prince of Lies.
And then we shall be a coven.
(intense, eerie music)
(music fades)
(birds chirping)
- Hey, Marcus!
Guess who I had to talk with this morning?
Trini.
And guess what she told me?
She said your loser pal, John Van Owen,
came to her dorm room and got her drunk.
And then-
- And then what?
- You know what, Marcus.
- But I thought Trini was a virgin though.
- I know about you guys.
And after I beat Van Owen to death,
I might go on to Headmistress
Grimes and the cops
and tell them what I know about Randall.
You freaks are all gonna go to jail.
- Oh, I get it.
You're all upset 'cause
we touched your girl.
Touched her, licked her, kissed her.
I mean, I guess we got her a little
bit more drunk than we thought.
- You bastard.
- Hey, it happens.
You were right about one thing though.
We killed Randall.
You know, I think his
last words were, "Help me.
I'm drowning!"
(Marcus laughing)
- You're crazy.
- Yeah.
Better start running.
(Marcus cackles)
(intense, dramatic music)
(eerie music)
- [John] Yeah. Winter break.
(eerie music)
- You're making a serious mistake, pal.
- Shut up, Harlan.
- What the hell's up with you guys?
First the new kid shows
up, screws everything up,
then you guys turn into big men on campus.
What's your deal, John?
- I said shut up.
- What are you gonna do?
You're a loser, John.
Get the hell outta my way.
- [John] I don't think Harlan
knew just how close he was
to being murdered.
I don't think I knew either,
but I was relieved that
I didn't have it in me.
(thunder rumbling)
(loud crash)
- Hello?
(gate whining)
Who's there?
I guarantee anyone not in
their room at this hour
will be expelled, I won't tolerate it!
(eerie music)
(Headmistress Grimes gasps)
What are you doing?
- I thought I'd come and visit.
- Mr. Slayton, do you
know what time it is?
- Does it matter?
I've seen the way you've
been looking at me recently.
I figured it was just a matter of time
before we had a conversation.
Alone.
(thunder rumbling)
- It's...
It's late, you should be in your room.
- I'd rather be in yours.
Wouldn't you?
- I don't know-
(eerie music)
I have no idea what you're saying.
(eerie music)
You've gone mad, haven't you?
What do you think you're doing?
- Oh, baby.
You don't know the half of it.
(Headmistress Grimes gasps)
(shrill scream)
(intense, eerie music)
(eerie music)
(music fades)
(thunder rumbling)
- Hello, my friend.
You look awful.
- I have good reason. Believe me.
- I take it this means
Harlan's out of commission?
- Yeah, I don't wanna
talk about it right now.
You did a good thing, John.
This world belongs to us.
You made it a better place.
- I said I don't wanna talk about it.
You've got what you wanted.
- Not yet.
I've got bigger plans.
A third ritual at the
pool house will be God's.
- I don't want to be a
part of this anymore.
- You don't have a choice.
Either share my feast or share my fall.
Don't you know that I can take
everything I've given you away?
- I don't wanna be a part of this anymore!
I'm going home, okay?
I'm quitting Chandler
Academy, the whole nine yards.
Just leave me alone.
- What about your friends?
- They're your friends now.
(tense music)
(thunder rumbling)
- Headmistress Grimes!
Headmistress Grimes!
It's John Van Owen! I'm
here to talk to you!
Headmistress Grimes!
- Did you have a sudden urge
confess something, John?
I thought you weren't
gonna be part of this.
- Stay away from me, Luc.
- You look afraid.
Maybe I can help you with that.
- [John] Luc, we have got to tell them.
- Dude, I've wanted to stop
Alex's clock for years.
- They made our lives hell, John.
You too.
- So now they're in hell.
I guess it all evens out, huh?
- I gave them everything they ever wanted.
I kept my end of the bargain.
- And what do you get, Luc?
They break the 10 commandments,
they killed for you,
so what exactly do you get from this?
- You killed Harlan.
You're part of this whether
you wanna be or not.
- Yeah, Johnny.
Stop being a wimp and
get with the program.
- You're a warlock now, John.
You're part of the coven.
Do the third ritual with us
and you'll get to go free.
And Mary will be yours forever.
- You leave her out of this.
- You don't have to answer
me right away, Johnny boy.
We still have big doings
planned for tonight,
I guarantee it.
Just ask Headmistress Grimes.
(intense music swells)
I think it's safe to say
she'll be outta commission for a while.
See you around.
- [John] I had nowhere to go
and no friends left to help me.
I wanted to talk to Mary,
but I knew the instant I
showed up on her doorstep,
her life would be in danger.
I only had one person left to talk to.
(tense music)
(knocking at the door)
- Just a second.
Are you okay?
- No.
- Well, go sit down.
- Look, I came to you because
you're the only person
on the earth right now
who might still listen
to me or believe me.
- What's happening, John?
- Marcus and Matt.
The new kid put them through
some kind of ritual thing
and now they think they
have to kill people.
- What new kid?
- He thinks he's a warlock.
- A warlock?
- I think he's gonna do
something terrible tonight.
- Like what?
- I don't know.
- Well, then if you want me to help you,
then you and I are gonna go
down to the police station
and we're gonna tell 'em all about this.
- But they're gonna
think I'm a part of this.
- Not if you're with me.
- Okay, I'll go with you,
but let me call Mary first
to check to see if it's okay.
Luc's trying to do something to her.
(phone ringing)
(tense music)
Hello?
Mary?
- Well, hello, Johnny. What's up?
- Luc.
- That's right, pal.
It's your ol' buddy, Luc.
Gee, kiddo, I'm sorry, but you
must have just missed Mary.
She doesn't seem to be here right now.
- What did you do to her, you sick freak?
- Nothing yet.
In fact, she's gonna be accompanying me
to the old pool house.
You remember the pool
house, right, Johnny?
We shared a kiss.
Personally, I think she's
gonna have one hell of a time.
- What do you want?
- You know what I want, John.
I need you to complete the coven.
I get credit for the souls
of you and your two friends,
plus all the kills, plus
all the goofing around.
And I get to be leader of the coven,
destined for big things.
- Well, just let her go and I'll-
- Uh-uh, Johnny. I make
the deals here, not you.
I need you to come to the pool house.
We'll settle up all
that old business there.
Now, you don't do that for me,
then being a murder suspect is gonna be
the least of your problems.
Count on it.
(tense, eerie music)
(tense music)
- [Marcus] What if he doesn't come?
- Have some faith.
He'll show.
- Are you sure you wanna go through this?
Because we can get this whole thing
resolved by the police, you know?
- This is beyond anything
the police can help us with.
- Yeah, but if you go through with this,
then you're making the problem worse.
- I'm not gonna let
anything happen to Mary.
(tense music)
- Looks like quite a
little party going on here.
I'm guessing you're not
cramming for my history final.
- Well, well, if it isn't Ms. Stevens.
You look confused.
Did you think John was lying?
I thought he was exaggerating
about the situation,
but I guess he wasn't.
- It's just her.
John didn't come with her.
- John left on his own.
He didn't want me involved.
So he ran off.
He's probably on his way to
get the police right now.
- You lie.
- What's the matter, Luc?
Can't you use your powers to
make all the police go away?
- Don't mock me!
You're already dead and every
time you show me disrespect,
that death is gonna be a little slower
and a little more painful.
- Why don't you let the girl go, Luc?
You don't know who you're dealing with!
- Right now, I'm pretty sure
it's some lost little boy
who needs a lot of help.
So whatever you want from me,
you can have it after you let Mary leave.
- And what do you know?
You deal with these kids from
these upper crust families,
nice homes, kids who've
had their whole lives
mapped out for them,
their parents enrolled them
here at this Chandler Academy.
So they can have the prestige
of having Junior in a
private school in hell.
They don't know the difference
between Jesus Christ or
Ricky Martin, am I right?
- You seem so sure about
everybody, don't you, Luc?
- I'm not finished!
- It's what you get for
not paying attention
in my class, Luc.
Like I said, the witches and the warlocks
believed that their
opposite numbers existed
and wiped them out.
(Ms. Stevens scoffs)
Did you ever wonder who your opposite was?
- Who? John?
- No, me.
I was sent here to stop you
and it seemed like a
pretty crummy assignment.
- I don't care who you are,
I'm running the show here!
(intense, eerie music)
Welcome to hell!
(deep growling)
(intense, eerie music)
- What's the matter, John?
You don't dig the new look.
- Bet you're sorry you
wimped out on us now, huh?
- Either you're with us or
you're against us, Johnny.
But if you're against us,
we're gonna be knee
deep in your intestines.
- Get back!
- Crucifix. (snickers)
I'm a warlock, get your
frigging superstitions right.
- Leave them alone.
I think you messed up, darling.
(intense music)
Should keep you outta my way for a while.
(intense music)
- Stay away from me.
- Come on, Johnny.
Can't even back talk to teachers.
How you gonna hit your old friend?
- You're not my friend anymore.
You're not even human!
(intense music)
(loud thwack)
(intense music)
(loud thwack)
(intense music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Not so fast, Johnny.
Remember the girl?
(heartbeat thumping)
Now drop the frigging knife!
(intense music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Well, you sure did a number
on your friends, Johnny boy.
But they were just
servants and so are you.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you.
When you kill someone with a Spirit Tooth,
like when you killed Harlan,
your soul belongs to me.
Now I'll give it to you one more time.
Take it or leave it.
Be my third acolyte,
and I'll let this fine
little honey here go.
(Mary whimpers)
- I don't trust you.
- You don't have a choice!
I own your soul!
Now get down on your knees!
(tense music)
Good boy.
Now, John, I want you to tell me
there's no one in your life but me.
- There is no one in my life but you.
- I own your soul.
- You own my soul.
- Now prove it by cutting open
your little girlfriend, Mary.
- John!
(tense music)
- You don't understand, Mary.
Luc can make me great.
He can make everybody love me.
It's what I've always wanted, isn't it?
- [Luc] It's good to see
you come around, sweetheart.
- John, please don't.
- Mary, I have to.
See, I lied.
I never killed anyone
with a Spirit's Tooth.
Except you!
(wild screaming)
(intense, dramatic music)
- It's time to go, Luc.
Nice work, John.
It's good to know that
somebody listened in my class.
(intense, dramatic music)
(music fading)
(wind blowing)
- She's gone.
- Dammit.
Why'd you have to hit me so hard?
- You guys were asking for it.
- Yeah, man, I think I've got a permanent
dent in my skull thanks to you.
Thanks for nothing. John,
- What do you say we blow this joint
and go enroll in a public school? (laughs)
- Lead the way.
- Hey, John?
You think a couple of
friends could join you, man?
- I wouldn't have it any other way.
(calm music)
Even now when I go to
church, I will light a candle
against the horrible night
I almost lost my friends.
And I wanna believe that it's over.
Really over.
But you know the old story by now.
It's never really over for him.
He might be there now, in
your town, in your school,
the new kid, the guy with the cards,
looking for souls to corrupt
and minds to take over.
I don't think we can ever really stop him,
but whatever you do, watch for him.
I think he'll be there soon.
(music swelling)
(compelling music)
(upbeat music)
(eerie music)
(upbeat rock music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(music swelling eerily)
(music fades)
- [John] My senior year
at the Chandler Academy
private school began like
any other, unfortunately.
Rich kids whose parents
sent them to private school,
either out of tradition
or the misguided notion
that if you paid tuition
to go to high school,
you were somehow better
off than public school.
Wrong.
This place was as bad as a
public school, maybe even worse.
The uniforms, the
bureaucracy, the conformity,
and most of these guys
conformed, except for my friends.
This is Marcus Ratner, one
of my two best friends.
I think if you said
Marcus was a troublemaker,
that would be an understatement.
I don't think I can remember one week
and the whole time I've known him
where he wasn't either in
trouble with the police
or in trouble with the school.
I don't think he does it intentionally,
he just can't help himself.
Of course, doing dumb stuff like this
probably isn't making it any easier.
Headmistress Grimes.
For some reason, she singled us out.
Watch this like a hawk.
Maybe because we were outcasts
we became easy targets for her.
(compelling music)
If Marcus was the troublemaker,
then Matt Slayton, my other
best friend, was the con artist,
always playing poker,
starting betting pools,
working some scam.
(compelling music)
As you can see, I had
my work cut out for me
because the law of averages
states for every John Van Owen,
AKA me, there has to be an
equal and opposite number.
And there he is, Harlan Ratcliffe.
I mean, look at this guy.
He's prettier than most of
the girls I've gone out with.
And you just knew this
guy was set for life.
There he is now, showing off his pecs
with his two towees, Randall and Alex.
Now to set this up for you,
Alex, that's this guy
here, he's dating Trini.
She's the one on the left.
(compelling music)
And meanwhile...
(gentle instrumental music)
Ta-da!
That's me, John Van Owen,
giving Mary, she's the one on the right,
the thousand yard stare.
Do I even need to tell
you what happens next?
(compelling music)
You see what I mean?
Of course I had no idea at the time
that Headmistress
Grimes, Harlan Ratcliffe,
and the whole rich-dog-eat-poor-dog system
at Chandler Academy was going to be
the least of my problems,
and my life was about to change forever.
(suspenseful music)
(cards shuffling)
(suspenseful music)
- Okay, guys, now moving right along.
These are the stocks
of Salem's Town Square,
and they were used as a form of punishment
for what we would consider
a felony misdemeanor today.
Now, these are ceremonial knives,
believed to be used by the Celtic
and Druidic cults of the time.
In other words, witches and warlocks.
This dagger called Spirit's Tooth
was the main tool used
by a witch or warlock
during this period.
And they used it in their sacrificing,
in their practicing of alchemy,
in the creation of their
spells and incantations,
and to create a bond among
the members of the coven.
Bodily fluids were shared or anointed,
particularly blood and tears,
things that a witch or warlock believed
held a particularly strong bond.
Needless to say, the spirits-
- Hey.
We should've taken pottery instead.
- Matt, you idiot, shut up.
You're gonna us both in trouble.
- Hey. Did you see who's in our class?
- No.
- Mary Stewart, your dream girl.
- Really?
- Well, in other words,
for every evil that exists,
there is an equal and opposite good
that is just as powerful
to balance it out.
But of course, now we know today
that witches and warlocks
really had no true powers.
Any questions so far?
Any big words you guys want me to explain?
(cards shuffling)
Well, well, well, what's this?
Looks like you're setting
up for a game of poker.
We don't get to the poker
portion of the curriculum
till the second term.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Stevens.
Were these cards distracting you?
- No, but they might be distracting you
'cause I'm selfish when it
comes to teaching a class.
I like to have everybody's
undivided attention.
- Well, actually, I've
listened to every word
that you've said so far.
- Well, I find that hard to believe
being you look like a Las Vegas
blackjack dealer back here.
- I'm listening to you.
- Really?
- Yes.
Now that you ask, I can tell you
that I disagree with much
of what you just said.
- You don't say?
- You know, you stand there and you sneer
at witches and warlocks,
yet I notice you wear a
crucifix around your neck.
Now, isn't that a little hypocritical?
How can you be unbiased
if you favor one religion over another?
- Oh, so you're agnostic.
- Quite the contrary.
I know exactly what I believe in.
- Well, I'm happy to hear that.
However, you have to give up those cards.
- Personally, I believe in magic.
- Okay, that was a good trick.
To teach that one to me
now that I have a new
deck of cards, I mean.
- Oh, I'd love to teach
you a trick or two.
(school bell ringing)
- Class dismissed.
(cheerful student chatter)
Hey, John, you got a minute?
It's nothing heavy, I promise.
I just wanna congratulate
you on your history paper.
You got an A.
- Really?
Wow.
- It's my pleasure.
Believe me, it makes me feel
like I'm doing something right.
- Well, I always did love history.
- Well, it shows.
Look, I know you feel like
you get dumped on around here,
but you are an excellent student
and I like having you in this class.
I know it's tough to fit
in in a place like this.
- Yeah.
- Just hang in there.
If you ever need anyone to
talk to, if you have a problem,
if you just want some help,
then please come to me.
- Okay.
- You got someone
looking out for you.
Now go catch up with your friends.
- [Matt] So what did Ms. Stevens want?
- I got an A on my history paper.
- Hey, not too shabby.
So what's the problem?
- Look, the reason I never asked Mary out
is because she's one of the
popular people, and I'm not.
- So?
- Do you know what everybody here
thinks of guys like you and me and Marcus?
They think we're freaks that
wound up here by accident.
- What?
I think you finally flipped out, John.
I mean, you are not a bad-looking guy.
If you were a girl, I'd do ya.
- Don't you ever wanna fit
in, just once in a while?
- I don't wanna be like everyone else.
I wanna be better than everyone else.
- Hi, John.
You got a minute?
- Whoa. How did that happen?
- Hi.
- See you around, poor boy.
- Hi.
- Hi yourself.
- I wanted to talk to you.
I'm sorry about earlier today.
- Oh, forget it.
Actually, I'm mad at you.
- Me? Why?
- Well, I've been waiting
for you to ask me out
for like two years, you idiot.
- I didn't think you even knew I existed.
- Well, do you care to start catching up?
- You know, you're making fun of me.
I need to get to biology.
- No, wait, we still have this unresolved
issue to deal with.
- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about our first date, silly.
- What?
(eerie music)
- Listen, I'm a coffee and small talk gal.
So why don't you say we go to the V Cafe,
Friday around eight-ish.
- I don't put out unless
you spring for dinner.
(Mary chuckles)
- One hurdle at a time, Donlon.
Why don't we start out with a latte?
And then we'll work our way up
to a real date this weekend.
School's out for semester break.
- A real date?
- Yeah.
So Friday coffee, 8:00.
Don't be late or I'll kill you.
- A real date.
(gentle music)
(upbeat music)
(Marcus coughing)
- Hi ya, Marcus.
- Hi.
- I'm surprised you jog
as much as you smoke.
- Oh, you know, I'm trying to cut back.
On the jogging.
- Good one, Ratner.
You dig it, jogging?
- Yeah, what's going on, Harlan?
I mean, why you all of a
sudden being nice to me?
- Hell, man, I'm just
trying to make conversation.
I can't be a jerk all the time.
I figured, "What the hell? Ratner's okay."
I don't know about
Slayton and John Van Owen,
but Ratner's all right.
- I'm flattered, man. Thanks.
- "I'm flattered," he says.
That nut.
- You mean he wasn't bowled over
by your sparkling personality?
- How's it going, Marcus?
We do this every afternoon.
How come we've never seen you here before?
- Oh, I just started this week.
- Marcus is all right.
- Yeah. Too bad about his lame friends.
- Hey, ease up, okay?
I mean, I'd take it personally
if someone talked about my lame friends.
- Screw you, Harlan.
- It's time to hit the lockers.
- I'm done.
- Me too.
- Later.
- You coming?
- Yeah, sure man. You bet.
(upbeat music)
(music fades)
(taps squeaking)
(water running)
- Man, I'm ready for semester break.
- You got big plans?
- I don't know, is getting
butt-ass wasted for a week
considered big plans?
- Sounds like a good idea to me.
- Trini's folks are going outta town.
We got the whole place to ourselves.
- You guys finally gonna do the deed?
- Hey, man. What is that?
- Yeah, what is that, Alex?
- You wanna know what this is?
- Sure.
- It's a permanent marker. India ink.
You get it on your skin,
it almost never comes off.
- I don't get it.
(eerie music)
Stop it, man! Come on, guys!
- Nice view, Marcus.
You sure you've never done this before?
- Stop, Harlan!
- Keep screaming, Marcus.
The doors are locked.
Nobody's gonna be in here for hours.
I made sure of it.
- What are you doing, man?
- You mean what am I gonna do?
Kill you maybe!
Or worse.
- I don't think he's ready to
settle down just yet, Harlan.
Maybe you should have
taken him to dinner first.
- Well, I can tell you this much, Ratner.
It won't hurt too much.
All I wanna do is write a little message,
just an itty-bitty one.
- Let me go!
Man, let me go!
- Don't make it any worse than it is,
or else I'll that Randall and Alex here
get in a few good kicks,
once I write a little message
on your cute little butt.
(Randall snickers)
Hmm, what should we do here?
- How about "Mother?"
(Randall snickers)
- Good choice, but no.
I have something better.
I know.
All right, I'll write
"my pussy" on his back
with an arrow pointing down.
- You guys are gonna
get expelled for this!
- Really?
At this point, Grimes would believe me,
even if I told her you did it to yourself
then showed us like you were interested.
Now don't move, this is
just gonna hurt worse.
(tense music)
- Don't mind me, fellas.
- Why don't you breeze the
hell outta here, new kid.
(intense music)
- Wow, that was easy.
- I don't think you realize
just what kind of trouble
you're getting into.
I'm gonna kill you.
Stop screwing around.
- I don't see it in your eyes, Harlan.
I don't see you killing anybody.
Matter of fact, would you like to see
which one of us ends up dead?
I'll bet it's gonna be you.
- Look, we weren't gonna
do anything to him.
We're just gonna scare him.
- Well, now that it's you and not him,
I think it's even funnier.
Now, let's see.
You were gonna write
"my pussy" on his back.
I like that, but instead, I'm
gonna write it on your face
with a narrow pointing to
your cute little mouth.
Come on, Harlan.
I thought you was gonna kill me.
- You're dead.
You wait.
- Oh, come on, I don't like to wait.
Why don't you and your little
girlfriends come back here
and we'll finish this up right now.
- Guess it isn't hard to
go get toweled off, huh?
- Where the hell did you come from?
Not that I'm complaining or anything.
- No kidding.
(thunder rumbling)
(door clicks open)
- Where the hell have you been all day?
- Yeah, we looked for
you at the commissary.
- Are you guys busy?
- I just gotta whip John's
butt in five cards stud,
but otherwise, no.
- I gotta start my Latin studies.
- All right, well drop it, both of you.
- Are we gonna party?
- Let's just say I got
a fourth for bridge.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Listen, if I sat down and told you guys
what happened to me today, we'd
be here all freaking night.
Come on. I'll tell you on the way.
- On the way to where?
(thunder rumbling)
(door slams shut)
- Are you sure about this, Marcus?
- Why?
- Yeah, shouldn't this place
be locked up or something?
- Guys, this is a private school.
They don't ever lock
anything up around here.
Beside, pool's open in 24 hours.
Come on, he's waiting inside.
- Who's waiting for us inside?
(suspenseful music)
(door clicking open)
(door squeaks)
(suspenseful music)
(door slams shut)
(suspenseful music)
- The new guy!
- Yeah, you're the dude
with all the card tricks.
- But of course.
I'm Luc, and you are?
- John Van Owen.
- Matt.
- You guys getting in or what?
- I'm game.
(suspenseful music)
(water splashes)
(upbeat rock music)
(music fades out)
(gentle instrumental music)
- So where you from anyway, Luc?
- All over the place.
- Parents move around a lot.
- No.
Never really got a chance to know my mom.
It's kinda like I never even had one.
As for my dad, well, me and my
dad don't get along anymore.
I got in some trouble a
while back, got kicked out.
All we do is fight, I'm
mainly long distance.
- With you on that one, man.
My parents couldn't give a damn
if I rotted in here or in jail.
Except it sounds better
at the country club
when they tell their rich
friends that I'm away at school
instead of in minimum
security over at Riverview.
- My parents wanted to put me on Prozac.
- You know, this is a great place.
I'm surprised you guys
haven't done this before.
- Yeah.
Sounds like you plan on
making this a regular thing.
- Well, we'll see.
So what's the deal with this Harlan guy?
You guys act like he's the
antichrist or something.
He's not.
He's just a weak little boy
trapped in a man's body.
once you see him as he
really is, he ain't nothing.
- I tried, man. Believe me.
- Well, you're just lashing out
at him because you're angry.
He pushes all the right buttons
and you just go exactly
where he wants you to go.
- So what makes you so special?
- I'm not really that
different than anybody else.
Except in one way, one major way.
See, I'm a student of the soul.
I figure things out about people.
Gotten to be really good at it.
So if you can figure
out how people operate,
you pretty much know how
to get by in this world.
- Oh, yeah?
That's a bull if you ask me.
- Well, what I told you about yourself
wasn't necessarily
pretty, but it was true.
- Yeah, but it doesn't explain
how you kicked Harlan's butt.
- I'm here to help.
- Right.
- You guys all have one think in common.
You all want something you can never have.
What if I told you I could
promise you all those things,
right here, right now?
- You're just messing with our heads.
- You could rule over guys like Harlan,
and that's just one part of it.
Just a small part of it.
You want girls? You can have 'em.
You want teachers to be scared
into giving you good grades
and preferential treatment?
You can have it too.
You could rule this school.
You could command respect
from your parents.
You could have anything you want.
- Yeah, and all you have to have
is $1 million dollars in the bank.
- No, all you need is me.
All I ask of you is your friendship,
your loyalty, and your honesty.
You give me these three
things unconditionally,
I'll give you the world.
It's just psychology.
Hypnosis, that sort of thing.
Some guys at another school that I went to
went through the same ritual with me,
and that's how I was able to learn
all the things that I'm gonna teach you.
- Should we do it?
- I don't know.
- It's symbolic.
You have to trust me.
You drink the tears,
it opens up your mind.
That's all.
Your subconscious opens up.
And remember when Ms. Stevens
was talking about witches
and warlocks in class?
It's the same thing.
The magic begins when
your mind believes in it.
First, you break this taboo,
and then I'll show you
how to break 10 others.
- What 10?
- The ones that you're supposed to follow.
- The 10 commandments.
- You break those,
and all the conditioning
that you're brought up with
just disappears.
- What about murder?
- Symbolic murder, John.
Not real.
Seems to me this is a
perfect place for a baptism.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- I dunno about this.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Hey, what's wrong, man?
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- It's a part of the ritual.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- He's not lying, man.
This is awesome.
You guys have to try this.
- Trust me.
Things are about to change.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(Matt gasps)
- Oh, man.
(eerie music)
- Your turn.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Okay.
- I need extra proof from you.
I need to know that you really want this.
Taste them.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
Break the taboo, John.
That's why you're here.
(eerie music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(John exhales)
- God.
- God has nothing to do with this.
- Man, I'm telling you,
this is probably the most
screwed up Friday night we've ever had.
(Matt laughs)
- [John] Did you ever meet someone
who could sell you the world?
Somebody who could seduce you
into believing anything 20
minutes after meeting them?
That's what Luc was like.
We were the freaks and
outcasts in a perfect world,
and this stranger was promising to give us
everything we ever longed for,
things we couldn't even
admit to each other,
and we bought it.
- What are you guys doing in here?
- Well, hey, Randall.
- You remember Randall, Marcus.
He likes to write messages.
- Look, guys, I didn't
mean anything from today.
It's Harlan.
I mean, you know how Harlan is, right?
- Things are about to change, Randall.
Grab him.
(Randall panicking)
(intense music)
(upbeat, groovy music)
(school bell ringing)
- [John] What's wrong?
- You didn't hear?
- What's up?
- It's Randall.
They found him in the
pool house this morning.
He drowned last night
in the swimming pool.
- Yeah, they found an empty
bottle of whiskey by the pool.
He must've gotten drunk and
fell in, but he broke his neck.
- Hey, it happens.
I guess alcohol and swimming
pools just don't mix well.
- Guys, Randall's dead.
What's going on?
- I don't know anything about it. Do you?
- That idiot drowns
himself in a swimming pool.
I mean, it's no great loss if you ask me.
- What's your problem, Grimes?
See something you like?
- Man, if I hadn't seen
it, I wouldn't believe it.
What if she expels you?
- She won't.
Me and Headmistress Grimes
have a whole new understanding.
- Holy cannoli, John.
We're gonna be freaking kings.
- [John] Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not lie.
We'd already begun.
Luc told us that we had to break all 10.
And who knows how many we'd already done
without even thinking about it.
(groovy, tense music)
And so it began.
We were on our way to
fulfilling our new destinies
in a manner we never envisioned before.
Our schoolwork, our personal
lives, and our own goals.
We were the ones running the show now,
not Harlan, not Randall, not Alex.
We knocked over the 10 commandments
like a stack of dominoes.
Later, I would've reason to suspect
that Luc used some wild and
holy mind control powers
on us that night in the pool room,
but now I believe that this was
the only truth Luc ever told us.
The thing driving us was something
that might have been there all along.
(groovy, tense music)
Thou shall honor thy
mother and thy father.
(tense, eerie music)
(glass shatters)
(tense, eerie music)
(school bell rings)
(groovy, tense music)
- Jesus Christ, lady, what's your problem?
Wanna put the head in head mistress?
- [John] Thou shalt not take
thy lord's name in vain.
(eerie, suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(deep throat singing)
(eerie, suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
Thou shalt not have any God before me.
Thou shalt not worship thy graven image.
(eerie music swells)
(music fades)
(heartbeat thumping)
(suspenseful music)
Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's possessions.
(suspenseful music)
Thou shalt not steal.
(car alarm blaring)
(suspenseful music)
(eerie music)
They had covered almost all the bases,
and somewhere I knew Luc was
getting stronger because of it.
And even though it felt
like I was living in
some horrific nightmare, I
knew it was just starting.
- I was beginning to get worried.
- Really? Why?
- Well, I haven't seen
you around for a while.
You've been hiding out for me, or what?
- I...
I've just been busy.
- Well, you know we're
gonna have a whole week off
for semester break.
You plan on being busy then, too,
or is it safe for me to go
ahead and buy that diaphragm?
- What?
- I'm sorry, I'm just
trying to get your attention
off that tabletop.
- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I'm really screwing up this date.
- Well, you do seem to be
jumping on every word I say.
Oh my God, is that a smile?
- It's a start.
- Well, thank God.
For a second there, I thought
I was losing my touch.
- No, no. It's definitely not you.
It's just the schoolwork's
starting to pile up on me.
That's all.
- Are you sure?
- I'm totally sure.
- I mean, is there something going on?
'Cause you've been
acting totally different.
I mean, all three of you guys,
it's like you've changed
- Why? You think it's bad?
Because I have nice clothes?
Because I care about what I look like
or because I have confidence now?
Look, I don't know about you,
but I think it's a change for the better.
- Okay, whoa. Just calm down, okay?
That's all well and good,
but I liked you just fine before, okay?
- I'm sorry.
- Listen, I think I know why
you've been acting so weird.
- Really?
- Well, yeah.
I mean, you're afraid.
You just have this
whole thing in your head
about how I might be in a different class
of people than you are
and that I couldn't possibly
be attracted to you.
- Sounds like you've been
talking to good ol' Matt.
- Well, it's possible,
but it's also possible that
I might have asked him.
Listen, I like you a lot, okay?
I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
So there must be something
unique about you, yes?
- Really?
(Mary scoffs)
- Really.
I wouldn't lie to you.
Of course, unless you were stinking rich
and wanted to put me in your will.
- Well, I guess I'll just
have to bear that in mind
when I inherit my first million.
- Hmm.
Promises, promises.
(door clicks open)
(thunder rumbling)
(eerie music)
What's wrong?
- I gotta get back to the dorms.
- What? John-
- I'm sorry.
- Wait.
John!
Ugh, what the hell?
I suppose I've had worse dates,
only I don't know when.
(Mary sighs)
- I was hoping you'd
come out here to see me.
Did I interrupt something?
- What do you want?
- You don't seem very
happy that I'm here, John.
- No, it's not that.
- John, I like you.
I like Marcus and Matt too,
but you're on another level entirely.
You follow your own drummer.
I like that.
You're good. You're honest.
You're a true friend.
And I've told you nothing but the truth,
no matter how crazy the truth sounds.
I said this would happen.
- You said what would happen?
- Do you really think she'd be
with you if it wasn't for me?
- We made this date before I even met you.
- I gave Mary to you.
I watched you from afar.
I admired you, I watched you grow.
Mary is a gift.
And I have many more gifts for you
as long as you give me
something in return.
- You're crazy.
You didn't give me Mary.
You haven't given any of us anything.
It's just some sort of mind control.
- You're not so sure that are you, John?
Now, I'm offering you a chance to belong
and belong to the winning team,
but you keep turning me away.
I think you're jealous maybe.
Can't you see what I've
become to your friends?
- What do you want from me?
- You haven't been doing your share, John.
You're awfully low on the old
commandment breaking scale.
It's time I gave you an errand.
- What kind of errand?
- It's an easy one.
I want you to talk to Trini for us.
You know Mary's friend?
- No way.
You do it.
- You have a reason to talk to her, John.
You're dating Mary, she trusts you.
So what you do is you go
over to her dorm room,
tell her you'll do some
homework with her, that's all.
- Why would I do that?
Maybe I should just walk away right now,
see what happens.
- You know what happens, John.
Mary leaves you, your friends
leave you, and I leave you.
And that one fleeting chance that you had
of success, wealth, and
power, it's all gone.
Now, think about that.
Do you really wanna take that chance?
I want you to talk to Trini tonight.
You have an hour.
Choose wisely.
- [John] And I did.
I can't say why I did it.
I think I was making a choice,
or I thought I was making one.
I wanted to be with my friends again,
even though I couldn't quite see
their own personalities anymore.
When I looked into their
eyes, all I saw was Luc.
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- So how are things going with Mary?
She can't stop talking about you.
- Is that good?
- Ask her yourself.
(door swings open)
What the hell are you guys doing here?
- Well, we knew this is where John was
and we couldn't resist a chance
to break into the girl's dorm.
Everybody, put your
clothes back on, please.
(Matt snickering)
- You guys wish.
- It's gotta be a little
hard to be romantic
without the wine, isn't it?
- Is that...
- Yep, alcohol!
Boys in the girls' dorms,
is Headmistress Grimes gonna be pissed!
- I'll pass.
- Me too.
- No, I say a little sip of wine
ain't gonna hurt either of you two.
- No.
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- Okay, I guess a sip won't hurt.
Wow, it's not as bad
as I would've thought.
(suspenseful music)
(heartbeat thumping)
(Trini giggles)
What are they doing?
- Well, Trini, I'll tell ya,
they're getting a place all comfy for us.
- I should go.
- No, you should watch, John.
(Trini giggling)
- Comfy? For me?
- Yes.
(Trini giggles)
But look, guys, my boyfriend, Alex.
Well, you know Alex.
- Shh.
(seductive music)
(thunder rumbling)
(seductive music)
- [John] I could not help myself.
I was part of this,
part of the brotherhood.
I was drawn into it.
I was under Luc's power.
I just couldn't stop.
(seductive music)
(thunder rumbling distantly)
- [Luc] Did you enjoy
yourselves this evening?
- I thought we got her
off to a good start.
- Real good.
- But that's just the beginning for us.
(tense music)
- Is that a-
- That's right.
It's a Spirit's Tooth,
the warlock knife that Mrs. Stevens
was going on and on about the other day.
- Where the hell did you get that?
- Like you said, it's a private school.
They don't lock up anything around here.
- They really use it in witchcraft?
- Why do you think I took it?
I'm a warlock.
(tense music)
How do you think I've done
the things that I've done
or how you've gotten the
powers that you have?
I've given you a glimpse
of what I'm capable of.
- So you're like Dungeons and Dragons?
Merlin and the hat, and
Fireballs and stuff?
- No, nothing like that.
I make offerings to certain forces,
and certain forces grant
me things in return.
You guys are popular now.
You command respect.
I've given you everything you ever wanted,
and that's just a glimpse
of what you could have.
- So what are you saying?
- I need three more to
make the ritual complete.
Three more warlocks.
- Are you serious, man?
- Totally.
- Luc, you've made a believer outta me.
- Is that we're sitting around like this?
- It's the next part of the process.
I'll give each of you a Spirit's Tooth.
When you commit a sacrifice,
you'll have committed the final act.
You will have the power within yourself.
- You mean like murder?
- What do you think happened to Randall?
- Did you...
Did you kill him?
- I wouldn't hurt a flea
as far as you're concerned.
You take your souls
back from your enemies,
and you take their souls along with it.
When you do that, you will
be empowered for life.
No one will ever cause
you pain or fear again.
You start with breaking
the 10 commandments.
You've already broken nine.
There's one more.
Thou shall not kill.
- I don't wanna kill anybody, man.
- No?
Well, Randall's dead,
and your problems at the
school are much more closer
to being solved.
You have the power to solve
anything if you really want to.
Complete our promise.
This weekend is semester break.
Everybody's gonna be gone.
It'll be perfect.
You've laid the groundworks,
but now you have to build on that.
- Like how?
- You have to make an offering
to the Spirit's Tooth.
Kill the one you hate the most.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(heartbeat thumping)
This is the way it must be.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
(intense music)
(music swells)
(intense music)
(music quietens)
- I offer my vengeance.
I bind myself to my enemies.
- We bind ourselves to him.
We pledge to destroy him
and anyone who follows him.
We have but one master;
the Dark One, the Fallen
Angel, Prince of Lies.
And then we shall be a coven.
(intense, eerie music)
(music fades)
(birds chirping)
- Hey, Marcus!
Guess who I had to talk with this morning?
Trini.
And guess what she told me?
She said your loser pal, John Van Owen,
came to her dorm room and got her drunk.
And then-
- And then what?
- You know what, Marcus.
- But I thought Trini was a virgin though.
- I know about you guys.
And after I beat Van Owen to death,
I might go on to Headmistress
Grimes and the cops
and tell them what I know about Randall.
You freaks are all gonna go to jail.
- Oh, I get it.
You're all upset 'cause
we touched your girl.
Touched her, licked her, kissed her.
I mean, I guess we got her a little
bit more drunk than we thought.
- You bastard.
- Hey, it happens.
You were right about one thing though.
We killed Randall.
You know, I think his
last words were, "Help me.
I'm drowning!"
(Marcus laughing)
- You're crazy.
- Yeah.
Better start running.
(Marcus cackles)
(intense, dramatic music)
(eerie music)
- [John] Yeah. Winter break.
(eerie music)
- You're making a serious mistake, pal.
- Shut up, Harlan.
- What the hell's up with you guys?
First the new kid shows
up, screws everything up,
then you guys turn into big men on campus.
What's your deal, John?
- I said shut up.
- What are you gonna do?
You're a loser, John.
Get the hell outta my way.
- [John] I don't think Harlan
knew just how close he was
to being murdered.
I don't think I knew either,
but I was relieved that
I didn't have it in me.
(thunder rumbling)
(loud crash)
- Hello?
(gate whining)
Who's there?
I guarantee anyone not in
their room at this hour
will be expelled, I won't tolerate it!
(eerie music)
(Headmistress Grimes gasps)
What are you doing?
- I thought I'd come and visit.
- Mr. Slayton, do you
know what time it is?
- Does it matter?
I've seen the way you've
been looking at me recently.
I figured it was just a matter of time
before we had a conversation.
Alone.
(thunder rumbling)
- It's...
It's late, you should be in your room.
- I'd rather be in yours.
Wouldn't you?
- I don't know-
(eerie music)
I have no idea what you're saying.
(eerie music)
You've gone mad, haven't you?
What do you think you're doing?
- Oh, baby.
You don't know the half of it.
(Headmistress Grimes gasps)
(shrill scream)
(intense, eerie music)
(eerie music)
(music fades)
(thunder rumbling)
- Hello, my friend.
You look awful.
- I have good reason. Believe me.
- I take it this means
Harlan's out of commission?
- Yeah, I don't wanna
talk about it right now.
You did a good thing, John.
This world belongs to us.
You made it a better place.
- I said I don't wanna talk about it.
You've got what you wanted.
- Not yet.
I've got bigger plans.
A third ritual at the
pool house will be God's.
- I don't want to be a
part of this anymore.
- You don't have a choice.
Either share my feast or share my fall.
Don't you know that I can take
everything I've given you away?
- I don't wanna be a part of this anymore!
I'm going home, okay?
I'm quitting Chandler
Academy, the whole nine yards.
Just leave me alone.
- What about your friends?
- They're your friends now.
(tense music)
(thunder rumbling)
- Headmistress Grimes!
Headmistress Grimes!
It's John Van Owen! I'm
here to talk to you!
Headmistress Grimes!
- Did you have a sudden urge
confess something, John?
I thought you weren't
gonna be part of this.
- Stay away from me, Luc.
- You look afraid.
Maybe I can help you with that.
- [John] Luc, we have got to tell them.
- Dude, I've wanted to stop
Alex's clock for years.
- They made our lives hell, John.
You too.
- So now they're in hell.
I guess it all evens out, huh?
- I gave them everything they ever wanted.
I kept my end of the bargain.
- And what do you get, Luc?
They break the 10 commandments,
they killed for you,
so what exactly do you get from this?
- You killed Harlan.
You're part of this whether
you wanna be or not.
- Yeah, Johnny.
Stop being a wimp and
get with the program.
- You're a warlock now, John.
You're part of the coven.
Do the third ritual with us
and you'll get to go free.
And Mary will be yours forever.
- You leave her out of this.
- You don't have to answer
me right away, Johnny boy.
We still have big doings
planned for tonight,
I guarantee it.
Just ask Headmistress Grimes.
(intense music swells)
I think it's safe to say
she'll be outta commission for a while.
See you around.
- [John] I had nowhere to go
and no friends left to help me.
I wanted to talk to Mary,
but I knew the instant I
showed up on her doorstep,
her life would be in danger.
I only had one person left to talk to.
(tense music)
(knocking at the door)
- Just a second.
Are you okay?
- No.
- Well, go sit down.
- Look, I came to you because
you're the only person
on the earth right now
who might still listen
to me or believe me.
- What's happening, John?
- Marcus and Matt.
The new kid put them through
some kind of ritual thing
and now they think they
have to kill people.
- What new kid?
- He thinks he's a warlock.
- A warlock?
- I think he's gonna do
something terrible tonight.
- Like what?
- I don't know.
- Well, then if you want me to help you,
then you and I are gonna go
down to the police station
and we're gonna tell 'em all about this.
- But they're gonna
think I'm a part of this.
- Not if you're with me.
- Okay, I'll go with you,
but let me call Mary first
to check to see if it's okay.
Luc's trying to do something to her.
(phone ringing)
(tense music)
Hello?
Mary?
- Well, hello, Johnny. What's up?
- Luc.
- That's right, pal.
It's your ol' buddy, Luc.
Gee, kiddo, I'm sorry, but you
must have just missed Mary.
She doesn't seem to be here right now.
- What did you do to her, you sick freak?
- Nothing yet.
In fact, she's gonna be accompanying me
to the old pool house.
You remember the pool
house, right, Johnny?
We shared a kiss.
Personally, I think she's
gonna have one hell of a time.
- What do you want?
- You know what I want, John.
I need you to complete the coven.
I get credit for the souls
of you and your two friends,
plus all the kills, plus
all the goofing around.
And I get to be leader of the coven,
destined for big things.
- Well, just let her go and I'll-
- Uh-uh, Johnny. I make
the deals here, not you.
I need you to come to the pool house.
We'll settle up all
that old business there.
Now, you don't do that for me,
then being a murder suspect is gonna be
the least of your problems.
Count on it.
(tense, eerie music)
(tense music)
- [Marcus] What if he doesn't come?
- Have some faith.
He'll show.
- Are you sure you wanna go through this?
Because we can get this whole thing
resolved by the police, you know?
- This is beyond anything
the police can help us with.
- Yeah, but if you go through with this,
then you're making the problem worse.
- I'm not gonna let
anything happen to Mary.
(tense music)
- Looks like quite a
little party going on here.
I'm guessing you're not
cramming for my history final.
- Well, well, if it isn't Ms. Stevens.
You look confused.
Did you think John was lying?
I thought he was exaggerating
about the situation,
but I guess he wasn't.
- It's just her.
John didn't come with her.
- John left on his own.
He didn't want me involved.
So he ran off.
He's probably on his way to
get the police right now.
- You lie.
- What's the matter, Luc?
Can't you use your powers to
make all the police go away?
- Don't mock me!
You're already dead and every
time you show me disrespect,
that death is gonna be a little slower
and a little more painful.
- Why don't you let the girl go, Luc?
You don't know who you're dealing with!
- Right now, I'm pretty sure
it's some lost little boy
who needs a lot of help.
So whatever you want from me,
you can have it after you let Mary leave.
- And what do you know?
You deal with these kids from
these upper crust families,
nice homes, kids who've
had their whole lives
mapped out for them,
their parents enrolled them
here at this Chandler Academy.
So they can have the prestige
of having Junior in a
private school in hell.
They don't know the difference
between Jesus Christ or
Ricky Martin, am I right?
- You seem so sure about
everybody, don't you, Luc?
- I'm not finished!
- It's what you get for
not paying attention
in my class, Luc.
Like I said, the witches and the warlocks
believed that their
opposite numbers existed
and wiped them out.
(Ms. Stevens scoffs)
Did you ever wonder who your opposite was?
- Who? John?
- No, me.
I was sent here to stop you
and it seemed like a
pretty crummy assignment.
- I don't care who you are,
I'm running the show here!
(intense, eerie music)
Welcome to hell!
(deep growling)
(intense, eerie music)
- What's the matter, John?
You don't dig the new look.
- Bet you're sorry you
wimped out on us now, huh?
- Either you're with us or
you're against us, Johnny.
But if you're against us,
we're gonna be knee
deep in your intestines.
- Get back!
- Crucifix. (snickers)
I'm a warlock, get your
frigging superstitions right.
- Leave them alone.
I think you messed up, darling.
(intense music)
Should keep you outta my way for a while.
(intense music)
- Stay away from me.
- Come on, Johnny.
Can't even back talk to teachers.
How you gonna hit your old friend?
- You're not my friend anymore.
You're not even human!
(intense music)
(loud thwack)
(intense music)
(loud thwack)
(intense music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Not so fast, Johnny.
Remember the girl?
(heartbeat thumping)
Now drop the frigging knife!
(intense music)
(heartbeat thumping)
- Well, you sure did a number
on your friends, Johnny boy.
But they were just
servants and so are you.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you.
When you kill someone with a Spirit Tooth,
like when you killed Harlan,
your soul belongs to me.
Now I'll give it to you one more time.
Take it or leave it.
Be my third acolyte,
and I'll let this fine
little honey here go.
(Mary whimpers)
- I don't trust you.
- You don't have a choice!
I own your soul!
Now get down on your knees!
(tense music)
Good boy.
Now, John, I want you to tell me
there's no one in your life but me.
- There is no one in my life but you.
- I own your soul.
- You own my soul.
- Now prove it by cutting open
your little girlfriend, Mary.
- John!
(tense music)
- You don't understand, Mary.
Luc can make me great.
He can make everybody love me.
It's what I've always wanted, isn't it?
- [Luc] It's good to see
you come around, sweetheart.
- John, please don't.
- Mary, I have to.
See, I lied.
I never killed anyone
with a Spirit's Tooth.
Except you!
(wild screaming)
(intense, dramatic music)
- It's time to go, Luc.
Nice work, John.
It's good to know that
somebody listened in my class.
(intense, dramatic music)
(music fading)
(wind blowing)
- She's gone.
- Dammit.
Why'd you have to hit me so hard?
- You guys were asking for it.
- Yeah, man, I think I've got a permanent
dent in my skull thanks to you.
Thanks for nothing. John,
- What do you say we blow this joint
and go enroll in a public school? (laughs)
- Lead the way.
- Hey, John?
You think a couple of
friends could join you, man?
- I wouldn't have it any other way.
(calm music)
Even now when I go to
church, I will light a candle
against the horrible night
I almost lost my friends.
And I wanna believe that it's over.
Really over.
But you know the old story by now.
It's never really over for him.
He might be there now, in
your town, in your school,
the new kid, the guy with the cards,
looking for souls to corrupt
and minds to take over.
I don't think we can ever really stop him,
but whatever you do, watch for him.
I think he'll be there soon.
(music swelling)
(compelling music)
(upbeat music)
(eerie music)
(upbeat rock music)
(gentle instrumental music)
(music swelling eerily)
