Witchy Ways (2024) Movie Script

1
Danni?
Danni! Danni!!
Wolf and horse true
signs of might.
Share your strength
with me tonight.
The pain and shame, Melissa,
Sarah, and Stephanie meanly
give,
must be cleansed,
and sent back so they may live,
to see and feel
what they have done,
and right their ways
so good,
or harm will come.
Send back my pain,
and school them right,
and cause them to feel
my righteous might.
- Nina! It's Melissa!
- Robby said I should apologize.
Is anyone home?
Nina? Hello?
Nina?
Nina, are you o
The ocean is
in our eyes
and as we watch
the sun rise
so does the tide
But unfortunately,
when I said we
I meant me and my mind
The destination
is on your right.
One hundred and
eleven Foggy Lane.
Hello?
Oh.
Okay.
- You've reached Mary.
- Leave a message.
Hey, I made it.
I don't think the place has
actually changed at all
in the last 40 years
since you were here.
That painting that you always
talked about is actually still
hanging over the fireplace.
And wow.
The moon.
I wish you were here to see it.
Well
not sure what I'm
gonna do with myself
all the way out here
in the boondocks,
but you said to give
it three months,
so I will, for you.
Anyway.
I love you, Mama.
Oh, wow.
You got
the rose quartz?
I did.
Okay, perfect.
- - We invite
positive energy, love,
greatest good into
our energetic space.
We release our fears
that hold us back,
and invite in something new.
Oh!
Are you lost?
I'm sorry, I uh-.
I saw a suspicious person, and
Your friend.
Thought maybe she
was trespassing,
and so I followed
her, and then I
I saw a bunch of flames,
and I thought, oh my
God, there's a fire.
So I thought I
was concerned, and
I just didn't know anybody
else was gonna be here, so
I have it in the
property description
that I live in the cottage.
I own the property. I'm Danni.
Oh, I'm Eve.
- Hi.
- My mother's the one
that actually booked
the house, so...
Oh, you received
a box last week.
It's under the
desk, in the office.
Thanks. Oh, actually,
there was a guy in the driveway.
He looked a little sketchy.
- Burly guy?
- I'd say so.
Just a neighbor.
Alright.
Goodnight. Have fun.
- Goodnight.
- Ah, okay. All right.
Is Robbie
lurking again?
Apparently. Where were we?
I release fear and
call in something new.
- Oh.
- Oh wow.
Oh my God.
Hey, did you just get back?
About half an hour ago.
Huh.
Oh my god, Evie, that sweater.
Where did you find that?
I haven't seen it in years.
I got a big box of stuff that,
um, mother must have sent.
I'm sorry.
Damn. You okay?
There's an envelope.
Well, what are you waiting for?
You.
"My darling, Evie."
"Surprise!"
"I know you told me
that I could throw away"
"all your old boxes,
but I couldn't."
"Sue me."
"I thought it would be fun to
have some of your stuff with us"
"when we trip down memory lane."
"Can't wait to explore
our past together."
"Happy birthday
Munchkin. Love, Mama."
And look!
There's this.
Your old camera.
How is the house?
It's cute.
I don't know how long I
can last out here, though.
I mean, honestly, this place
might've been magical
for my mother, but
it's just a house
on the edge of the forest
in the middle of nowhere.
You love the forest.
We used to spend hours
playing in the woods
when we were kids.
We did have some fun, yeah.
Skinny dipping with
the LaBok boys.
Not our best moment.
The look on your mom's face
when she caught us buck naked,
jumping off that sketchy rock
into the water.
It was priceless.
I think she actually
wanted to join us.
It was the boys being
there that freaked her out.
Your mom could always sense
when you were getting
in over your head.
Yeah, it was so annoying.
Yes, it was very annoying.
Stop making me yawn.
Go to bed, Thelma.
Night, Louise.
Hey, uh, thanks for calling me.
Um, so the-the bulb
in the kitchen,
it keeps flickering,
and then the bulb in the-the
bedroom blew out, so...
Okay. Thank you.
- Hi.
- Oh, hey.
For you. Welcoming present.
Yeah, I, uh, I make them.
I sell them on Etsy.
Thank you. That's so nice.
Hi, babe.
- Hi.
- I forgot. Um
- Hi!
- Hi.
You left this at
my place last week.
Oh, oh, I could have
gotten this later.
S'pose you could have.
Alright. Ro, you know what?
I'll-I'll call you later.
Okay, later then.
So wanna tell me which light?
Oh, it's the light
over the kitchen table
that's flickering.
What?
Sorry for your loss.
It's in your eyes.
Your mom, right?
Must have been recent
since you made the reservation
only a month ago.
Um, actually, will you, uh,
take this into the
kitchen for me?
I just have a few
work calls to make.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
I'm around if you need me.
Sounds good.
- Oh. Come on phone.
- I know you're here somewhere.
Nina.
Behave yourself.
I'm bored.
Well, come up with
another way of having fun.
Let's play remember when!
Remember when we went with mommy
to pick strawberries,
and we ate them all
before we can pay for them?
And she pretended
like she was mad,
but she really wasn't?
- Fred, honestly
- Remember?
I told you
when I left, I was done.
Nina, you better go now.
All I'm asking for
is one more campaign.
- It's important.
- It's just hair, Fred.
You can get someone else.
You're my best ad
executive, Eve.
I promised my mother
that I would take time...
You'll never last
in the wilderness.
It's not you.
You need structure, a plan.
How do you know what I need?
I don't even know what I need.
Work remotely. I don't care.
In the end, you
know you'll do it.
But fine. Tell me yes, tomorrow.
Fine.
All fixed.
Oh, that was fast.
It was just a loose wire
in the light fixture.
Ran into it before,
so pretty easy fix.
Okay.
Hey, that's a really sweet shot.
Oh, thanks.
Oh, there.
Um, okay, well,
I'll-I'll see you out.
Is that what you
do? Photography?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm a brand marketer.
Oh.
You know, people overlook
little creatures all the time,
but they each have a
magical purpose on earth.
Like your beetle.
It symbolizes renewal,
resurrection, self-preservation.
Cool.
Well, thanks for
coming out on short notice.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, sure.
That's what I'm here for.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Bye.
Oh my God.
She's gonna think I was like.
Watching
her?
You were, but so what it's been
how long since you
No. Do not say her name.
- Five years.
- A much happier,
and saner five years.
Well, is she cute?
Um, she's actually
a little creepy.
I accidentally looked in the
window of her place last night.
And she's creepy?
Well, there was
this suspicious girl
wandering in the yard,
and I wanted to make sure she
wasn't a squatter, or something.
- Uh huh.
- I don't know.
There's something about
her that's just weird.
I can't quite put
my finger on it,
but she makes me nervous.
Confession.
Fred called.
He said the Egan account
wants to pull the campaign
if I'm not heading it up.
You told him you were done.
It was your mom's dying wish.
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
We're talking two,
maybe three more months, tops.
You were only supposed to be
there for three more months.
Come on.
Fred made you so many promises
when you took that job.
Most of which he broke.
He is like an
abusive relationship.
You know it'll
eventually hurt you
and you're too
scared to walk away.
That is so not fair.
Think about this.
Right now you are sitting alone
in that house
instead of being there
with your mom. Why?
Because she died!
No! She asked you to
go there for years.
It was important to her,
but you gave all your
time to that job,
and none to anything
or anyone else,
including your ex.
And although I did not like her,
- and she did cheat on you.
- Yes, she did.
I have to be honest.
What did you expect?
There has to be two parties
present in a relationship.
Just don't waste another minute
on a job you don't even like.
Cut him off, Thelma.
Fine, Louise.
I need more wine.
Oh crap.
Oh!
It's alright. Leave
it, leave it, I'll um
I'm sorry.
- I'll fix it later.
- I
can come back another time.
What broke?
Um, it's just that
the sink is leaky,
but it's not a big deal.
Yeah, I can come back later.
No, it's an easy fix.
It's an easy fix.
I'll be back in the jiffy, Ro.
- Yeah?
- If you wanna hang.
Yeah, just don't take too long.
You know I bore easily.
Hi.
Hi.
Not the hot water!
Aaaah!
Shit.
This is my life.
Like this morning
I couldn't find the coffee,
and then I went to
get the frying pan
in the lower cupboard,
and there it was.
I do
shit like that all the time.
Where are you?
I'm at Kiki's.
You know, she wanted me to try
out her ridiculous new sauna.
I not mad at it.
You've
been served Danni.
- This house is over.
- Hold on a sec'.
Why are you doing this?
- What is going on?
- There's gotta be
a way to fix this.
- There's gotta be.
- There's some
- Is it money?
- Crazy guy
- You think I want your money?
- fighting with Danni.
After what you did to my sister?
How is that gonna help?
I am gonna
take possession of this house,
and I am gonna burn it down.
You try to stop me.
All right. He's leaving.
Seriously though,
I'm not exaggerating.
Between everything
in this stupid house
going haywire,
and my stuff going
missing, I'm just
You've had huge changes
in your life very quickly.
Of course, you're a little off.
I thought you quit.
I did.
What if
what if it's not that?
Don't even go there.
I can't help it.
Early onset Alzheimer's
is hereditary.
You don't have it.
You tested.
It's not definitive.
Don't go down the rabbit hole.
Once you settle in,
things will get back to normal.
Spirits of the
sun and moon, day and night.
Infuse this candle
with the power to protect.
Cedar oil, guard us
against the anger.
Rosemary, cleanse
the negativity.
It's for protection.
Oh, hi.
Um, I never noticed it before.
Protection from what?
Mmmm, whatever.
- Oh.
- Going somewhere?
Uh, yeah. I was actually
gonna go on a little hike.
I saw a path near your
place that looked cool.
Oh yeah, you should.
There's tons of
really cool trails.
You know what? I'll
lock up when I leave.
Okay. Oh, actually, um,
there's a room that's locked.
Oh, yeah, uh,
it just sort of acts
like a storage unit for me.
I keep some personal
items in there.
Okay. All right.
Was just wondering.
Eve?
Hmm.
Rosie's uh, is just a friend.
It's none of my business.
- What Fred?
- I sent the files.
Lemme know if you
have any questions.
I didn't say I do it.
You will.
Call me when you've had a look.
Boo!
Tag, you're it.
No!
Tag! You're it.
Oh!
Oh.
- You-you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. What-what
were you doing?
What?
You yelled "you're it."
Oh.
Who's it?
I-I was, uh, I was
talking to the house.
Uh, no, I-I know,
it's really silly.
It's just like, well,
I-I miss my family
and this makes me
feel closer to them.
Like they're still here.
Did you grow up in this house?
Yeah, yeah.
It's been in my family
for generations now.
What?
What's your mother's name?
Lynn.
Why?
My mother was Mary Everly.
Wait, what?
The Mary Everly?
Like, my mom's Mary?
Yeah.
The reservation was
under Mary Parker.
Oh, that's her married name.
Holy shit!
Yeah.
Do you wanna have lunch?
Lunch?
You eat lunch, right?
Oh.
I thought maybe if you
came back before I left, um
Well, I ran out and
got some sandwiches.
Do you want a sandwich?
Na-no, I can't.
Um, I actually, I have,
I have to work, so
Oh, well, then I'll just
leave one here for you.
I'm vegan, so hopefully
you'll like them.
I have, um, veggie
ciabatta, and, uh,
vegan tofu tuna salad.
And I'll eat either.
It-it's okay. Really.
You need to eat.
I don't need two.
Okay, fine. Uh,
I'll take the tuna.
Tuna it is.
And maybe someday we can
eat a sandwich together.
Oh, it's a
it's raining.
Whooo!
But one of the pack members.
had been missing.
For some reason.
Temporarily and forever.
I saw the depression.
I saw the
mournful howls.
Constantly watching
Hey Beth, you're working late.
Fred wanted me to
set up the initial
meeting with PK and
the Pearson Group.
Can you let me know
a few times that work for you?
Yeah, anytime works for me.
I'm wide open.
Okay, then. I'll be in touch.
Okay.
Whatcha doin'? Wanna chat?
Happy
birthday to me.
The forest reminds me
of the one behind
our place in Connecticut.
It's beautiful,
peaceful,
just like you said it would be.
Hi, baby.
I'm sure you had
a ton of adventures here.
Yeah, I parked a
little ways down,
so I'm just gonna
cut through here.
Yeah, I'll be quiet.
Hi.
Well, I know I
was always annoyed
when you talked like
magic was real.
Now I, I don't know.
I kind of hope to be surprised,
and discover that
you were right.
I could use a little
magic right now.
I love you, mama.
Miss you.
- Hey.
- Were you sleeping?
It's like eight-fifteen
out there.
Ugh, it's exhausting
doing nothing.
I'm not liking
this new lazy you.
You okay?
Just feeling sorry
for myself, I guess.
You need supplements
or something.
- You need to find a local doc
- You know what?
Every once in a while
it would be great if you just
let me feel sorry
for myself for one minute.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I've
had this migraine
off and on for days.
It's driving me crazy.
- What's wrong?
- Other than your migraine.
- I wish you were here.
- Oh shit.
I need human contact.
- I'm a shitty, shitty friend.
- It's your birthday.
It's okay. It's not a big deal.
- No, it is, I'm sorry.
- Fine, it's fine.
I don't wanna talk about it.
It's too pathetic.
Alright. Uh, what about,
the handy girl?
I mean, isn't there
something else she can fix?
She brought me a sandwich.
Ooh, you had lunch together.
No. No. I said no.
For Christ's sake, why?
What are you watching?
- "While You Were Sleeping."
- Ooh, I like that one.
'Til I fell asleep,
32 minutes in.
So why?
Well for starters, it turns
out she's Lynn's daughter.
Holy shit.
Well, all the more reason
to say yes to lunch.
No, I think she was asking
me on like a lunch date.
So?
So, the fact that
she knows things about mother
that I don't even know?
It's just, it's
way too intimate.
I think a fling is
just what you need.
I don't fling.
If you don't have sex
with someone soon your
vagina is going to dry up
and fall out.
Then where will you be?
Oh my God.
Okay, cued.
Okay.
Go.
Why did I agree to do this?
Oh.
Ow.
Aaah.
You okay? Hi!
Yeah,
I'm-I'm good.
- Want me to read your cards?
- No, thanks.
I'm not really into that.
You don't have to be into
it for them to make sense.
Are you scared?
No.
Okay, fine.
Twist in my arm.
Read my cards.
All right. Make a wish,
or hold an intention.
Something you wanna manifest
this month, or over
the next six months.
Then cut the deck into thirds
and re-stack in any
order that you want.
Okay.
Like that?
All right.
All right.
The hermit.
Oh, that seems appropriate.
Well, he's alone on
a snowy mountain top.
He's on the path
of self-discovery.
This tells me
that you're seeking answers,
answers that might
be long buried.
Answers that reveal
you to yourself.
Oh.
Oh, that's terrifying.
Everybody says that.
But the death card
is misunderstood.
Alright? The dark colors,
stand for mourning and mystery.
The white horse
purity and strength.
Together, they symbolize
birth, rebirth,
change, transformation.
You might be facing
the realization
that you're at the end
of a major aspect of your life.
And
strength.
The lion is pure,
raw animal instincts,
but the woman tames them
with her inner strength.
And this right above her head,
this sign symbolizes
the infinite potential,
and her wise, centered, self.
Use your inner strength
during this transitional time.
Feel the fear and
walk right through it.
Hmm.
Looks like
a storm is coming.
Are you gonna...
Oh, no. You go, you go.
There's a new moon at five.
I'm, uh, gonna stay
and see her in.
Oh, well, not much
to see.
Especially when
it starts raining.
You're gonna get drenched.
I don't mind. I love
the rain and, um,
I'm prepared.
Okay, well, thanks for reading.
Yeah. You sure I
didn't freak you out?
No!
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I invite all positive energies,
and greatest good,
into my energetic space.
Goddess.
You showed me the empress,
and I can feel her abundance.
And I can feel my connection to
my feminine power in a new way.
And I feel it's
connected to Eve, but
she makes me doubt my intuition.
So I'm asking,
as I've done before,
is this the person I
should open my heart to?
With this new moon,
And within the safety
of her darkness,
I acknowledge my fears
and I release them,
and I follow the
guidance of the empress.
And let love in.
Hey, listen,
thanks for the materials,
but I'm not sure what
creepy green caterpillars
have to do with hair products.
Upload the PK art. Please.
Well, hello!
- - The Luna
caterpillar represents
new ideas, renewal,
and unexpected outcomes.
Like the caterpillar,
we may sometimes feel like our
guts are being ripped apart,
but be patient.
The Luna moth takes
up to a year to mature,
but when she's ready,
she comes out of her cocoon
whole, beautiful and free.
And we can too, if,
like the caterpillar
we set aside what we once knew
to fully embody
a whole new way of being.
Oh. Danni!
- Danni!
- Hey.
Hi. Um, do you want an umbrella?
- Uh, no. Good.
- I can get an umbrella for you.
Hood.
- Bye.
- Okay, oh wait!
Um, do you wanna
have dinner one night?
I'm a pretty good cook.
Well, I'm a lousy cook,
but a great eater.
So that should work
out really well.
Um, Friday?
- Sure. I'll see you then.
- See you then!
Something in your eyes
gives me butterflies
now my heart's beating
like a child, again
There's something
in your voice
so it's giving me
absolutely no choice
I haven't had this feeling
since I can't remember when
I gotta find the
door, catch a plane
I've been in love before
and I don't want
to get on the wrong train
'Cause I, I-ya-ya-yi
This is not a date, Evie!
I gotta leave today, yeah
before I fall back, before I
fall back in love again
Come in.
- Hi.
- Hi.
For you, from my garden.
If you give it time and love,
it'll double in size.
I have a bit of a black thumb
when it comes to plants,
but I will do my best.
Can I get you a glass
of wine or a beer?
Beer sounds good.
Okay.
Mmmmm.
So where did you
learn how to cook?
Um, my mother actually.
- Thank you.
- Uh, she had this
innate ability to
combine ingredients.
It was amazing.
I never saw her use a recipe.
Not once.
She was young,
I think a year older
than my mother.
Like sixty-four?
Sixty-five.
Uh, she had early
onset Alzheimer's, but
I knew that. I'm sorry.
You knew that?
Um
What, was it, in my eyes?
No, and I-I'm sorry.
Because I didn't mean to,
but I overheard you
talking with your
friend the other day.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
That must have been tough.
Alzheimer's is an
awful way to go.
I mean,
she didn't really die from that.
They think she confused
the basement door
for the bathroom door,
and she fell down some
stairs and hit her head.
Ended up in a coma
with irreparable brain damage.
So, uh
Ooph. Sorry, Eve.
Yeah. Thanks.
You know,
this might sound weird,
but in a way it was
kind of a blessing.
A quick death.
You know, my mother
was a scientist.
She was
so smart.
She was, I mean,
the smartest person I ever knew.
An-and then she just
started forgetting simple words
or-and losing the names
of bugs that she loved forever.
Uh, putting things
back in weird places,
or not remembering
where she put something at all.
And now you're losing things,
and you're thinking that...
- Right, well
- Eve I'm...
You know, I don't
know about you,
but I'm hungry.
So, um, do you mind if
I ask you a question?
Do you know why my grandparents
took my mother away from here?
I mean, I know
that something happened,
but mom always kept
her memories close.
She said she would always tell
me everything when we came,
that I wouldn't understand
'til I was here to
actually experience
this.
But then...
Since being here without her,
I feel like I know her
even less than before.
I...
You know, I-I'm not sure
you knowing the reason's
gonna make you feel any better.
If anything, it's gonna,
it's gonna raise more questions.
Just please, tell me.
Your grandparents moved
when they found out that...
Shit.
I was hoping I'd
have a little bit more time
to get to know you before
Well.
Uh.
We are a family of witches.
And when your
grandparents found out,
they thought we were
devil worshipers, which is
ridiculous, but...
Okay.
Okay, alright, so
are you a good
witch or a bad witch?
Um.
A green witch, actually.
Mmm! Mmm.
Okay, so you're not,
you're not kidding.
No. And technically
I'm a hereditary witch,
so I get my
knowledge from my mom
and her mom before that,
as far back as I can trace.
So does that mean
that my mother was
one?
Well, my mom said that Mary knew
and accepted that
magic was real,
but that she didn't
practice herself.
Huh.
Eve is nothing scary.
Hmm? Mmm.
No, really. It's just
a way of being, like,
for me,
it's about my relationship
with nature and her power.
It's...
It's where I draw
my energy from.
Okay. Ahem.
Okay. You are, um, surprised.
Don't know what to think,
except maybe that I'm
some sort of nutcase, but
the truth is,
there's a lot of us.
We just don't talk about it.
I mean, when my sister
and I were kids,
it wasn't something
that you could say out loud
or there would've been
a price to pay, and
- even now
- Wait, I didn't know
that you had a sister.
Mm-hmm.
Nina.
She died when she was twelve.
Spell gone wrong.
She died.
Mm-hmm.
From a bad spell.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Yep.
Now I freaked you out.
Just a little bit.
Ahem.
I'm full.
- Um
- Yeah, it's late.
Yeah. Yeah.
Right.
No, no. Leave it. Leave it.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. I-I got it.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Uh.
Well, uh
that, that was really good.
And I was very impressed
with the meatless meatballs.
Especially since the cook
is a carnivore.
I was a little bit
outta my comfort zone, but, uh
So, uh,
we good with the witchy thing?
Yeah. Yeah!
I mean, if my mom
could be good with it,
then I can be good with it.
That's good.
That's good.
Um, well, thanks
for coming over.
- Goodnight.
- Night.
Okay.
- Goodnight.
- Just a
- gonna use my
- It's dark.
It's weird.
No weirder than that guy I dated
who was turned on
by my dirty socks.
Not the same thing.
Well, it explains a
lot about your mom.
My mother was not a witch.
Danny said so.
Maybe not, but
she knew things
before they happened,
and she believed that
magic was everywhere.
She didn't mean it literally.
Maybe she did.
I should end it
before it starts.
Shouldn't I? I should.
Look, you wanted to get
to know your mom better.
Maybe this is how you can,
by understanding
this side of her.
And no, I am not saying
that she was a witch.
I mean, what does
that even mean? But
I don't know if I
wanna know anymore.
I mean, she's not here
to explain herself.
Evie, you haven't taken a chance
on anything in years.
And looking deeper is risky.
But your mom wanted
you to go there.
She believed it could
change your life.
She didn't say how or why
or who!
So snap out of it.
So this-this Danni is
a little different.
Different is good.
Let her in and see
what's there to see.
- I don't know.
- Least wait until I get there,
- because I'm dying of
curiosity. - Wait, you're
coming?
Oh! Oh my God!
- I'm so happy.
- Me too!
Now you have to find
a lake with a rock
so we can reprise
our skinny dipping moment
- in honor of your mom.
- Or not.
Come on!
Okay. Okay. Email me your dates
so I can put it in my otherwise
sadly empty calendar.
Similar to other full moons,
the Cold Moon gets its name
from Native American culture,
and it reflects changes
in the natural world.
It signifies a turning point.
So it's the coldest
and the darkest
time of year. But it also means
that from here,
things can only get brighter.
Hi. Um, can I help you?
- Yeah. Hi, I am Chief Plank.
- Ricky!
- I need to
- Rick!
Can't just show on my
property like this.
And you can't just
show up on Robby's, Danni.
I didn't.
That's you.
He's trying to take my home.
You carved up this tree.
- I gotta find a way
- It's my day off, Danni.
- To protect myself.
- Come on.
I'm here on my off day,
because my dad was
fond of your mom,
and he wants you to be okay.
He asked me to give you a
fair warning and I just did.
Fair warning? There's nothing
fair about what he's doing.
- Come on!
- Maybe, but trespassing
isn't the way. You get a lawyer
and you defend
yourself in court.
Against negligent supervision?
This is ridiculous.
I was just a kid
when it happened.
Like it or not, you
were Nina's legal guardian.
It doesn't matter
how old you were.
There's-there's gotta be a
statute of limitations, right?
It's been over twenty years
since Melissa got sick,
But only a year since she died.
She killed herself.
I shouldn't have to
defend myself from this.
Apparently, you do.
And it's gonna be for
the court to decide.
But I'd advise you to show up.
If you don't, then the court
will most definitely
come down on his side.
I don't make the
rules here, Danni.
I'm just letting you know them.
Trespassing is against the law.
And next time I won't be able
to stop Robby from
pressing charges.
Well, then I press charges, too.
Eve saw him on my property.
- Right Eve? Right?
- Right.
- All right. You know what?
- Enough. Enough.
I am so tired of both of you.
Geez. It's like fricking
high school again.
You stay off his and I'll
tell him to stay off yours.
God.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Lawsuit's not
gonna work, Robby.
Oh, you wanna bet?
Even if there's
a remote chance of you winning
you'll never get the
house. I'll sell it first.
You let me go.
Let me go.
I'll make sure nobody
ever buys this house.
People don't like houses
with deaths attached to them.
This is not gonna
bring your sister back.
Maybe not,
but it'll make me feel better.
Let me go.
Don't want any company
right now, Eve.
Just need some peace.
Are you sure?
I'm really good listener.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Tell me.
Come on.
My sister Nina, she had
some mean girls at school.
They knew that we were witches,
because my mom,
after what happened
with your mom,
refused to keep it a secret.
Doubled down.
No one was gonna make her hide
who she really was,
which was great for
her, but
Nina was just a kid.
And one day
she decided she was
gonna boil up a brew
to put a spell on these girls.
Only she used the
wrong ingredients,
and the wrong intention,
I'm guessing.
Toxic fumes were released,
she breathed them in,
and it killed her.
Robby's sister,
Melissa, came by to, uh, well
Her mom said to apologize.
But, uh, I don't know.
Maybe she did.
Well, she got a lung
full of those fumes
and developed focus issues,
memory problems.
Had to drop outta high school.
- That's not on you, Danni.
- No, no. It is.
- No.
- It is.
I should have been
there when she got home.
You know,
the thing is, we were taught
never to use magic for harm.
Only for positive changes.
But Nina was super hurt,
and she was young
and she wanted
something bad to happen.
I think she thought it
would be like "The Craft,"
you know, like the hair
would fall out or something.
Yeah, well, she was wrong.
And Melissa never
really recovered.
I was told the note they found
it said that she just couldn't
live like this anymore.
Who could blame her?
Ricky's right.
You need a lawyer.
I can make some calls 'n
find someone good in the area,
if you'd like.
I'd appreciate that.
Of course.
Well,
I'll leave you to
find that peace.
Well, if you don't mind,
I could do with some company.
Your company.
All yours.
Love this song.
She danced in my head
Me too.
So you actually do
spells and stuff?
I do.
Don't look so skeptical.
People in all religions
pray to their God,
and believe God
will answer their prayers.
A spell is just
another form of prayer.
The only difference is that
I'm an active participant
in manifesting the results.
"The magic claiming me
be harnessed this night."
"Within these borders
never see light."
Careful what
you're summoning.
- Why?!
- Just kidding.
words without
magic intent are just words.
So.
M'lady.
Thank you.
Gonna get a beer.
Meet you outside?
It's the same roller coaster
I'll never get off
Won't you move
a little closer
What'd you find?
It's a banded borer beetle.
It's beautiful.
I have never seen anyone
so drawn to bugs like you.
Yeah, well, my mother
was an entomologist.
She had a deep
appreciation for the bugs.
She used to drag me out to
the woods, point 'em out.
Tell me all about 'em.
And at the time I thought it
was a chore, but I guess
some of it sunk in.
Have you always made
them part of your work?
Well, I hadn't picked up a
camera in years 'til I got here.
But when I was really into it,
I was living in the East Village
imagining myself to
be a rebel.
To be honest,
I think I was just
running from my mother,
or from who I thought
my mother was.
Though now I don't
even know why.
It wasn't until after she died
that I started seeing them.
You know,
when I first got here,
you told me all the qualities
about a beetle that
make it spiritual.
Mm-hmm.
But I
think the magic of the
beetle is more practical.
For instance,
they feed off dead animals,
and fallen trees,
and then recycle
nutrients back into the soil.
That's pretty magical, isn't it?
A hundred percent.
Oh wow.
She doesn't belong here.
Someone must have illegally
brought larva into this state.
Poor thing. There's no food
source for her babies.
You really think
that's why she's here?
Why do you have this tattoo?
When they took my
mother off life support,
she kept breathing.
I-I didn't know this,
but apparently that
happens sometimes.
And well, obviously
I wasn't gonna leave her,
so I stayed and
held her hand.
Time went by and at
some point I dozed off.
And then I dreamt
that this
Luna moth landed on her chest
right above her heart.
So beautiful.
And when I woke up,
she was gone, so.
I don't know. I-I got it
'cause it just makes me
feel good to look at it.
Like she's still here with me.
She is.
Oh, sorry.
I never realized I was looking
'til I saw your face
Wait, wait. Okay, look up there.
Up there.
I never realized I was stung
I knew it! It's coming!
Rosie, you're such a
magical individual.
I'm so happy I know you.
And if you guys ever
want a third, I am around.
Feels like something's
gonna happen
Voila.
Oh my gosh.
- Like it?
- No.
I love it.
For the first time
in a long time
it doesn't feel wrong
- Alright, so
- Yes.
Shuff
- You gotta shuffle.
- What are you doing?
- Well, I'm shuffling.
- That is not Okay.
Give this to me.
- You know how to shuffle?
- Uh, I can shuffle.
I can shuffle. That is...
That is a thing that I can do.
Okay.
So.
Can you, I don't know, teach
me a spell or something.
I'm not saying that I actually
believe in any of this, but.
I would like to get
to know you better.
Or do I have to be
a witch to do that?
Well, all the power you
need, you already have.
Just a matter of accessing it.
So yes, I can show
you what I know and
you can teach me how
to cook something fancy
From the seed this sweet
basil plantling has sprouted.
Goddess of light
shine down on her.
Give her your rays
so she may grow.
Goddess of earth
You have to take this seriously.
I am taking it serious.
You want your basil
to grow, don't you?
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- Okay, fine.
- Close your eyes.
- Ugh.
- Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Ahem.
Trust me.
Goddess of earth.
Give her your nutrients
so she may mature.
Goddess of water.
Let your gift give her strength.
Goddess of air.
Bless this sweet plantling
with the gift of carbon dioxide.
So she won't just
survive, but thrive.
Danni,
the woman who comes over
I ended it after our first date.
- Now my turn.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Mmm.
Aaah!
I never realized I was looking
'til I saw your face
I never realized I was stung
until I felt your grace
For the first time in
a long time, feels kinda nice
Kind of put your
fingers in a knuckle.
Uh huh.
And you can actually
leave the tip of the knife...
Are you even
paying attention?
Let's focus.
Can I trust you with this?
Yes. Yes, yes. Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes.
Are you sure?
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
You're so cute.
Yeah, for the first time
I think I'm getting
treated right
Think the house is trying
to tell us something.
Next time we go to my place.
- You okay?
- I'm sorry, Danni.
'cause it seems this man is
just out to be vindictive.
He is. But there
isn't a case, right?
His sister is dead.
Just that fact could sway a jury
to deliver an emotional verdict.
He could be awarded enough
force a sale of the property
to satisfy the judgment.
How can they do that?
This is my home.
Just my two cents.
If you agree to a settlement,
you might be left
with money to start over.
Just have to sell a
piece of the property,
not the whole estate.
He's not gonna settle.
Take some time to
think things over.
Call me when you
decide how to proceed.
Thank you so much
for coming over.
- We'll be in touch.
- Thank you.
It's gonna be okay.
- How?
- Just
It will.
I just Sorry, I
I just need a-a
moment by myself.
Yeah, of course. I'm here.
The ancient sun
comes to rise
somehow seems
to shed no light
Sparrows sing
familiar tunes
they don't sound
like they used to
'cause I'm close to losing
all that I've known
since these four walls
are my only home.
But there's nothing lost
that can't be found
with your eyes
on the horizon
and your feet on the ground
I just, I don't know
how I can help her.
Well, this is a radical idea,
but why don't you
buy the property?
Why would I do that?
Well, because if
you own it, Evie,
then there's nothing for
that Robby guy to go after.
You said he was keyed
in on the house.
So you buy it.
Now you own it.
When the smoke clears,
you sell it back.
Make five bucks off
it for appearance sake.
I could retire off that money.
You can already
retire on your money.
Why you keep working
for that Fred,
I have no idea.
Yeah. Yeah.
Look, if you're worried
about this at all,
we can figure
something else out.
I'm-I'm not worried.
I trust you and I'm
grateful. Truly.
I just hope it's gonna work.
It will.
Okay.
I-I, um, just gotta go to
the restroom real quick.
Uh. D-do you wanna
put these away?
- Uh
- An-and, um,
I'll meet you right
back here in three minutes.
Uh - Yeah?
Okay. Right now?
- Um
- Two minutes.
Okay. Make it,
make it one minute.
'cause I don't wanna
wait that long.
- She's taking our house.
- What?
And you're letting her.
- Stop it right now. - You're
too young to understand.
She's not taking,
she's saving it.
I know what I'm doing.
Ugh!
Back to your room.
Did you just tell me
to go back to my room?
Oooh. I just got the chills.
Oh, yeah? I have
that effect on women.
- Oh?
- Oh, yeah. It's my witchy ways.
You wanna see where else
I can get you chills?
Angel's tongue
is found again
I am warm
I am warm here
with smoke
and honey
I am warm
here
Maybe I have a little
magic of my own.
- Hello?
- Eve?
Danni, I'm in here.
- You okay?
- The door just slammed on me.
I couldn't get out.
I-I-I think your
vegetables are burned.
Oh, no!
Nina!
Nina, stop it.
What is going on?
My sister. It's uh
It's complicated.
I'm listening.
- Mom was amazing.
- I mean, she really was.
But she loved her men
and-and her parties and
just wasn't around very much.
And then she died and
it was just Nina and me.
And then-then she died, and
After she begged me to stay
and I didn't want her to leave.
So I bound her to me.
Well, more specifically
to the house.
And ever since I've
never really been away.
So.
All those classic things that
you see in horror films,
the electrical issues,
the slamming doors.
Oh my God.
All of those misplaced things.
She didn't mean any harm.
She was just amusing herself.
Amusing?
God damn you.
I thought I was
losing my memory.
Why?
Why didn't you tell me?
Would you have
believed me if I had?
Hey, remember when I told
you I was a witch?
Guess what? There's more.
There's a ghost in the house.
Friendly. Don't worry about it.
Come on.
You would've thought me
crazier than you already do.
You know,
how scared I am
of ending up like my mother.
You could've at least tried.
You would've left.
Ugh, just go.
I just wanna be alone.
Well, I guess even if
you do, I won't be.
- No, no. She won't bother you.
- I promise.
She'll stay in her
room. I'll tell her to.
The locked room?
She's the personal item
you keep stored in there?
Oh, wow.
We shared it as kids.
She's happy there.
She's harmless. I promise.
Harmless?
She tried burning me
with a frying pan.
- No, she did not.
- Yes!
- No, no, no!
- Yes, she did!
She just scared you a little.
This is all she can do.
Knock things over.
If anything else,
her energy would
need a-a-a vessel.
What are you doing?
- Where are you going?
- Outside.
I don't wanna spend another
minute in this house.
You reached
Mary, leave a message.
This mailbox is full.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Och. I need you.
Ugh.
What did you get me into, Mama?
Hello, I'm Aurora.
Witch of the Web.
If you found your
way to this video,
it's probably
because you suspect
that you have a
ghost in your house.
There are actually
physical symptoms
that can point to the fact
that you do have a
ghost living with you.
Here are a few of them.
A dryness of the mouth
or throat or lips,
migraines, back aches,
A weariness.
This-this-this feeling that your
this energy has just been
sapped from your body.
And this is key.
Your vital energy,
your prana shakti,
that's the body's life force.
And the ghost draws
on it for strength.
So it's important to remember,
it doesn't matter if the ghost
is good or bad.
The ghost is there
'cause it needs your
energy for strength.
- Eve?
- Mm-mm.
Go away.
Come inside.
No. No.
Absolutely not.
Your sister is sucking me dry.
No, she's not.
Yes, she is.
Not on purpose.
It's just that ghosts they
come with side effects.
It-it doesn't matter if it's
a good ghost or a bad ghost.
Okay. I know that, now.
Thanks to Aurora here.
No thanks to you.
She's scared and she
doesn't know how to trust.
In practical terms,
she's really just a-a
hurt, insecure, 12-year-old.
You can't stay out
here all night.
Just leave me alone.
Aw.
Oh, shit!
Shit, shit, shit,
shit, shit, shit.
Ah. Ow!
Can we talk?
I
I have to go pick up
Penny from the airport.
- Please.
- Can't do this right now.
Jesus. I have to go.
You have lost your mind.
I'm just
telling you what happened.
So, you believe
you're living with
a 12-year-old ghost?
Well, I mean,
yes, I have all the signs.
And if you heard
Danni explaining,
she's hard not to believe.
Wow.
Oh my God, girl.
Holy shit.
You don't have to
be so dramatic.
I don't know what else to say.
I mean, holy shit.
She is crazy.
She's not crazy.
You said different was good.
Yeah. Different.
Not Looney Tunes.
The last thing you need
to do is fall in love
with another crazy person.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ow. My back is killing me.
See, that's another
one of the signs.
Maybe it's because you slept
outside on the couch, Thelma.
Okay. Just wait
outside on the patio.
Don't go in. I'm gonna
get Danni, and see
what she wants to do about this
situation.
Okay.
Fly seven hours to
wait on a patio.
Okay.
Uhhh.
Well this is
cute, I guess.
AH!
Oh!
Really?
Okay.
Oh.
I come in peace.
- You must be Penny.
- AH!
Jesus H. Christ.
I take it Eve told
you about my sister.
She may have
mentioned something.
- I'm just making some tea.
- Would you like some?
You got anything stronger?
- Where's Eve?
- Uh, she went to go look...
- Danni!
- There you are.
Did you think I
wouldn't find out?
Ooh. Damn it. Nina!
- I didn't do that.
- Are you all right?
I know you didn't.
Okay. She obviously
doesn't want me in that house.
No, no, no. It's
not you, it's him.
- What do you want?
- I have friends that work
at the county recorder's office,
so I know what you're up to,
and it won't work.
Oh, but it will, Robby.
Eve is buying it all,
and the paperwork
will be squared away
before you can do anything.
So you know what?
Sue me if you must,
but you're not
getting the house.
Bitch!
You just assaulted me.
I-I-I didn't assault you.
You assaulted me.
And I have two
witnesses.
- Right?
- Right, right.
I don't know what just happened,
but, uh, it wasn't any of us.
Well, I'm gonna report
this to the police.
And we'll see who assaulted who.
You fucking witches.
Jesus Christ.
So what did just happen?
Yeah. What did?
You said that she
wasn't dangerous.
That seemed pretty
dangerous to me.
Were you lying?
- No, I wasn't lying.
- Then?
It's not her.
And I've been trying
to learn to control my temper,
but he pushed me
with his ignorance.
Oh.
Wow.
No, I don't like going there.
But people aren't kind
when they're scared
and they get scared of anything,
and anyone that they
don't understand.
How do you expect anyone
to understand you
if you're constantly
hiding who you really are?
I hate to interrupt,
but what are we gonna do now?
'cause I'm not staying here.
I'm-I'm gonna move both of you
into the cottage for tonight
and then, um,
tomorrow if you wanna leave.
Right. Right.
Okay.
This way.
Oh gosh.
Okay.
So.
What are you gonna do about
this witchy relationship
that you're entangled in?
I really have no idea.
Ugh.
I'm so sorry I
dragged you into this.
This was meant to be
a vacation for you.
Hawaii is a vacation.
I'm here to visit my
nearest and dearest.
I got you.
I got you.
I got you.
Okay.
Night Louise.
Night Thelma.
Spirits of the air,
fire, earth and water,
I call on you. Mother
Earth, Father Sky,
I call on you.
My life as I know it is at risk.
Someone wants to do harm
for harm that has been done.
So I ask for your guidance.
How can I protect myself,
and space for all to heal?
The hermit.
This tells me
that you're seeking answers.
You might be facing
the realization.
that you're
at the end of a major.
aspect of your life.
Use your
inner strength.
during this
transitional time.
Feel
the fear, and just.
walk right through.
Okay? What are we doing here?
Why did you wanna meet here?
I needed to be out
of Nina's awareness
for what I need
to share with you.
What's that?
It's time to let Nina go.
For her, and for me,
and for us.
If there is still
a chance for us.
And it has to happen
before Robby comes back.
And
I need your help.
Both of you.
Look. Why don't you just
go to the spa or something.
This is so not your fight.
But it's your fight.
And we've always had
each other's back.
Alright.
What can we do to help?
Will you get your basil,
and fill a jug with rain water?
I have to change first.
- Yes. Yes, you should.
- It's too much.
So, what is that?
Black salt in a circle
acts as protection.
Nina's gonna be hurt, scared.
Dangerous?
Just make sure
you stay within the circle,
and that the circle
stays intact.
Let this white candle fill
us with purity of thought,
and surround us with
divine intervention.
Red for passion of conviction.
The courage to see it through.
Blue, to imbue us with calmness
and open up the wisdom
to the universe.
Nina, I release you.
Nina,
you are released.
From the ties that bind you
to this earth and to me.
From the ties that bind you
to this earth and to me.
Danni.
Chief Plank. Open up.
I need to talk to you.
- Give me a minute, Ricky.
- I cut your cord.
Your cord is cut.
You're set free!
Nina,
you're set free.
Come on, let's go. Let's run!
Nina?
Nina.
Oh!
Blah!
Go. Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
Shit.
Robby. Come on.
Shit.
Danni.
Danni, do something.
Go back to the
protection circle.
Keep repeating,
"We release you."
- No matter what, don't stop.
- Okay.
Hey lady, get off
him, or I'll shoot.
No Rick, no. It won't stop Nina.
Penny's just a vessel.
I can't help it. Danni.
She's killing him.
Nina. Nina, look at me.
Nina, I released you
from the ties that bind you
to this earth and to me.
- You are released.
- Nina, you are released.
Nina, you, you are released.
Nina, you are released.
You are released.
It's okay. It's
okay. I'm here, baby.
Danni!
It's time for you to go now.
I need to stay with you.
No, I'm gonna be okay.
Mom's waiting for you.
I love you.
I love you too.
Penny. Penny!
Oh my God. You okay?
Ugh, what the hell happened?
Nina possessed you
for a brief moment.
Ewwww!
Sore all over. Is she gone?
Yes.
Well, God damn,
I'm not sure who I'm
supposed to arrest here.
Or how I'm gonna
explain any of this.
Let's just go.
This is not over.
Robby. Robby, come
on, come on. Come on.
20 years ago, two little girls
hurt each other, and
it ended in tragedy.
This isn't about us.
Don't you think murder is
a little more serious
than defacing a backpack, Danni?
She wasn't trying to murder her.
It was Nina who ended up
dead for Christ's sake.
You know, it started with
Melissa and her little posse.
They were bullying Nina
mercilessly for months.
No, no.
I
If you must blame me,
I'll accept whatever
punishment you think you need.
I just want this anger to end.
Aren't you tired?
What's it gonna be, Robby?
I don't rightly want
to arrest this lady,
'cause I'm pretty sure she's
not guilty of anything
except being in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
I'll-I'll drop the case,
but I won't forgive you.
Fucking witches!
It's somethin'?
It's something.
Can we talk now?
I'm fine. Go.
Okay.
I was very, very wrong.
Not to at least try and
tell you about Nina.
It's been her and me
alone for so long.
Relationships have
always been superficial,
never truthful.
I learned the hard way,
being honest about who I am
can get me hurt.
The truth is,
I love you Evie.
And I know we barely
know each other, and
It's a totally cliche.
Lesbian falling in
love in a heartbeat.
When does that
ever happen? Right?
But I did
fall in love in a heartbeat.
To a heartbeat.
Your heartbeat.
Danni.
Total honesty from
now on. Promise me.
Promise. Promise.
All things
turn into dust
melting
back into love
follow, I'll follow you into
follow, I'll follow you
fall with me
fall into me
we've been waiting
breathe with me
breathe into me
know me as I know you
fall with me
fall into me
fall into me and breathe
So how did Fred
take the news that you quit.
For real this time?
Well, he threatened to sue.
I countered with love.
He didn't know what
to do with that.
Said, I'm welcome back
whenever I "come to my senses."
Wow. It's gorgeous.
Ah. It sure is.
Oof.
There must be an easier way.
Oh, where's your
sense of adventure?
I think I left it
back in New York.
Where are we going?
I actually do not know, but
we'll find out.
So how long are
you gonna go for?
Oh, two, three months maybe.
Oh.
Looks like we're at
the end of the road.
Not quite.
Let's not get caught.
No. It is freezing, Thelma.
So? Let's keep going.
I think you lost your mind.
Come on. In honor
my mom, Louise.
Oh Lord.
I have a feeling I'm
gonna regret this.
Come on. It'll be fun.
No. Oh, Thelma.
I invite all the positive
energy, love, greatest good
into my energetic space.
Now,
may I call in the person
that is in
perfect alignment
to tend to this space.
Are you sure you
can handle this?
I haven't been this
alive in years.
I'm beyond sure.
Plus, you know, I want
a little bit of that
that magic for myself.
- Okay.
- Go have fun.
I love you, Louise.
Love you, Thelma.
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
How do you feel?
Different.
Different is good.
You make me feel
like dancing
under the light of the moon
you make me
believe in miracles
and I can feel
the earth move
so I'm gonna go wherever you
take me into the
great unknown
I'm not afraid of
the darkness anymore
you light the way with magic
and I know you can tell
you got me
hypnotized, and baby
I'm under your
sweet, sweet spell
I'm under your sweet spell
you got me in another time
and another space
where everything glows
the mystery it beckons me
to hold you close.
I never believed in destiny
but I think I've been swayed
'cause every constellation
points to you, leads the way
you light the way with magic
and I know you can tell
you got me
hypnotized, and baby
I'm under your
sweet, sweet spell
