Coven (2020) - full transcript
Woo.
Yes.
Let's do this.
Christy, Christy, Christy.
You're a brave pussycat
showing up late
and you didn't even bring a rat.
I brought beer.
'Cause I told you to.
It's so nice to see that you
take this seriously, Christy.
Yo Ronnie, is this
bitch bothering you?
'Cause I'll fucking kill her.
What?
Christy, huh?
You wanna go?
It's not like that, Jax.
Ladies, let's not fight.
Let's get lit.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Wait.
I haven't poured my shot yet.
Oh for fuck's sake, Beth.
Two.
One.
Woo.
In Ashura's
name we gather.
Tonight, three nights
before the autumn solstice,
we gather to awaken the spirit
and power of our
goddess witch Ashura
whose powers have been
bound by a jealous
and power hungry coven.
Only five witches bounded
together in the pursuit of justice
can undo the evil magic that
binds our Ashura's spirit.
Ashura, hear our call.
I am Veronica Carnihan,
direct descendant of Ashura.
Her blood pumps
through my veins.
I am Christy Carns,
daughter of Arvada Carns.
Our blood flows with the
ebbing flow of water.
With an open heart
I conjure water,
the life source that maintains
all forces on this earth.
I am Jacqueline Yellverton,
daughter of Margaret Yellverton.
Our blood burns with
the fire of the sun.
I am Taylor Lamb,
daughter of Jolie Lamb.
Our blood blows through
the trees with the air.
With an open heart,
I conjure the wind.
I am Elizabeth Laurenjer,
daughter of Robin Laurenjer.
With an open heart I conjure
wood to fuel this fire.
Converging our strengths
we offer them to you.
Ashura, hear our call.
We stand before you bravely,
accepting that as
humans we are flawed.
With my blood sacrifice,
I call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and I call your spirit
back to this earth.
Praise her.
Just remember, shallow cuts.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past.
Louder.
With my blood
sacrifice, I right.
With my blood.
Ashura, hear our call.
Return to us.
Return to us, Ashura.
You.
Guess we gotta find a fifth.
Mom.
Mom.
Come out, come
out, wherever you are.
Mom.
That
looks really ripe.
Mom.
It's okay, you're back.
I was with her, Emily,
and I was eating an apple
and then it was
covered in maggots.
Breathe.
Take a deep breath.
There's no strength in haste.
For every light action,
there's always
balancing of the dark.
Today was the first time you
were able to reach your mother.
The rotten apple was
just a dark reaction.
Let's go again.
I get it.
If it was my mom,
I would never stop.
I should go.
Center your energy.
We'll go back again
when you're ready.
Sophie, remember you're
just a normal girl
who has to study
for her midterms.
Right, midterms.
Eureka.
What?
I figured it out.
Sh.
Sorry.
Meet me at the bell tower in 10.
Bring my magic box.
Woo ooh ooh.
This is some super
cute crafting crafts.
We're not crafting.
We're doing a manifestation
spell to find a fifth witch.
I believe Christy was...
Uh uh uh.
Better not let Ronnie catch
you speaking that name.
Right.
So the only way
to undo the spell
that bonds Ashura is to
find a physical element
of every witch who
casts original spell.
I guess all of our blood
lines are intertwined
with the original coven.
What are the odds
that our goddess
would put us all in one spot?
Best buds blood.
Ouch.
Oh relax.
Blood of the coven
seeking a member.
Amethyst to ground
that bonds for balance.
Fragments of our location
to bid her come near.
A fast burning wick
to heighten our spell.
We call on Ashura to manifest
our fifth witch come near.
That's it?
Sure looks like a
crafty craft to me.
How much of a spell was it?
Yawn, Zak let's go fuck.
Yes please.
Guys, I think it's working.
That was rude.
God.
That was a nasty spill.
Oh that's okay.
No, don't be silly.
Let me help you.
Sorry, I guess midterms
are getting to me.
Where we headed?
I'm on the fourth floor.
Really?
My friends Jax and
Ronnie are on that floor.
I've never seen you.
Who's your roommate?
I have a single.
I like to keep to myself.
Well, you don't have to
keep to yourself anymore.
I'm Beth.
Great.
Sophie.
So, what do you do for fun?
I can't believe I haven't
seen you around yet.
I'm here all the time.
This is me.
I didn't have many
friends in high school.
Weird.
But the girls here.
Well, you'll just have to
meet Ronnie and Jax yourself.
Do you have any plans for lunch?
Just gonna study.
Study?
I love studying.
Do you need a study buddy?
I'm easily distracted so I
was just gonna grab a PB and J
and sit at my desk.
Oh.
Okay.
I get it.
But maybe next time.
Sure.
Next time.
Wonder why you
have no friends.
It's just like blah,
blah, blah on every page.
I can't with this
ancient text shit
and where the fuck is Beth?
Blah, blah, blah.
Is that really all
it says, Taylor?
Whoa chill, okay.
My brain is just overheating
with this hocus pocus shit.
Chill.
Jax, she just told me to chill.
Were you too hot, Tay?
Is it getting too
warm in here for you?
Did you want me to grab you
and ice frap you,
base ass bitch?
Whatever, Jax.
I don't see you piping
up with any new info.
They're like reading
shitty fucking poems.
I can't.
How 'bout I just turn the
temp down in here for you?
How 'bout that?
I'm sorry, stop.
Real.
This isn't funny.
Hey.
Hey, whatever you
need, I got you okay.
Okay, well what I
need is for you two
to take this shit seriously.
What I need is for you to
find me a fifth fucking witch.
Listen, listen.
Unfreeze Taylor because she
ain't nothing but a thought,
but without her we will be
two witches shy of a coven
and we can't have
that now can we?
Fine.
Das.
Thank you.
Shut up.
Sorry.
Oh crap.
I am so sorry.
Goddamn time you fuck wit.
Where the fuck have you been?
If you can't take
this seriously,
then we'll make you
take this seriously.
You and Zak just bailed.
I came as fast as I could.
Don't blame me
because your stupid
manifestation spell didn't work.
You're supposed to be
the smart one, Beth.
Everyone has their strengths.
I guess I'm just having a
hard time focusing well with...
Get over it.
Maybe dying was
Christy's strength.
Now move on, Beth.
This grieving, it's tired.
I think I found a fifth.
What?
Where?
After Taylor left I
focused all my energy...
Oh for the love of fuck, Beth.
Spit it out.
The manifestation
spell worked.
It led me right to
this girl Sophie.
I saw her turn the lights off
in her dorm and shut her door.
You saw a girl shut her dorm
door and turn her lights off?
Blessed Ashura, Beth.
You've done it.
You have found another person
who can't fucking stand you.
Very funny, guys,
but I'm serious.
The flame from my manifestation
spell led me right to her.
I think we should check it out.
Wait.
What do you mean check it out?
Well, I'll need a sample
of something she owns.
Like a piece of her.
A piece of her, huh?
Oh that sounds like fun.
Yeah, let's have some fun.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Like it would be fun.
♪ A new moon is gonna rise ♪
♪ And mother we can't
bring them back ♪
Nice song.
We'll be in touch.
Kisses.
Back so soon.
Are you okay?
No.
I was just attacked
in the dorms.
I'll call the campus security.
Don't.
It was a group of witches.
Witches?
That can't be.
It can because it is.
What did they want?
I don't know.
They just made with the hexing
mostly and they cut my hair.
They cut your hair?
This is not good.
I didn't think so.
There are some terrible spells
for the use of
something personal.
I don't love that.
Let me call on the
divinity for some answers.
Let's go right to the source.
It's more than a coincidence
that this happened
the same day we
finally made contact.
I wanna reach my mother.
If your intention is
pure, I'll help you.
Clear your mind.
Keep your query precise.
Sophie, if your energy's off,
we risk conjuring
a parasite entity.
Do you understand that?
I do.
The call to the
world between and pedantry.
Mom.
You're late.
For what?
What's coming?
Mom.
Please.
Mom.
What did you see?
A girl.
She was all cut and bloodied.
My mom saved her.
Take a breath.
We knew this path
would be painful.
It's not painful.
Please, send me back now.
I'll focus my...
Take a harder deep breath.
Do not allow reaching your
mother to consume you.
There are some repercussions
for using such power selfishly.
I just feel so powerless.
You need balance.
Did your mother say anything?
You're late.
Late for what?
What?
It's 11:15.
My midterm.
I am late.
It's okay.
Look at your feet.
You're exactly where
you're supposed
to be in this very moment.
Thank you.
But you better run.
Hey, Dr. Lynn?
Yes?
I've got a new joke.
Uh oh.
Ha ha.
What was the pilgrims
favorite kind of music?
I don't know but I'm
sure you're gonna tell me.
Plymouth rock.
Oh Lord.
You really should work
on your looks more.
That's a sense of humor.
Dr. Lynn everybody.
She's here indefinitely.
Do not forget to tip your TAs.
Shit.
Shit.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
I mean, dang it.
Can we help you?
I'm sorry I'm late.
I got caught up.
There are no acceptable
excuses, Sophie.
I know.
I just really need
to take this exam.
Well, I know you
do but you missed it.
Okay.
I get it.
I can stay.
You totally don't have to.
This is my fault.
I don't mind.
James.
Professor, really.
I was gonna go home
and play some GTA.
Another hour long American
History is justice.
Stimulating.
Okay.
Make sure you bring me her
exam as soon as she's finished.
Sophie, you really
lucked out this time.
Do not do it again
and you owe me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
James.
James.
This is really nice of you.
Hey, what was the pilgrim's
favorite kind of music?
Is that a test question?
Because I did not study
pilgrim pop culture.
I'm joking.
Well I was gonna tell a joke.
Oh.
It's a lame joke anyway.
Let's start, shall we?
Okay.
Sophie, good luck.
Hickory dickory doc, Beth.
Okay, time's up.
Please tell me you have
something I wanna hear.
Line full.
Holy smokes.
It's a match.
Are you sure?
Well, I can cross reference
if you let me look in that...
No.
No.
This is my book.
Well then I guess you're
gonna have to trust my magic.
Are you gonna trust your
life in your magic, Beth?
You just gotta trust
the universe, Ron.
Ashura with provide
and when she does,
I'm gonna use our power to be
the most beautiful
women in the world.
Yeah, Tay, let's just
trust the universe.
We'll just sit back and
wait for Ashura to provide.
Yeah, I mean whatever
will be, will be, right?
Que sera sera.
Hakuna matata, huh Beth?
Are you gonna sit back
and trust the universe
to put this fire out, too, Beth?
I don't.
What was that?
I couldn't quite hear you.
Louder, Beth.
I trust you, Ronnie.
I trust you.
Okay.
Okay then.
You got this.
We trust you.
All right.
You guys best stop right now.
Making me sick over here.
Trying to enjoy my beer.
Oh hell motherfucker no.
You and that butch
bitch almost look
like a respectable couple.
You laughing at me, bitch?
You purple haired rug muncher.
The fuck's wrong with you, girl?
I'm bored.
Play time.
Patience, boo.
You get the fuck out of here.
We'll be back.
That's right.
That's what I
thought tinkerbells.
Get your ass out of here.
Ashura won't
treat me like that.
Beth, bring me Sophie.
How?
Drug her, trick her,
hit her over the head.
I don't care.
Just bring her to me
and bring her now.
I mean that's
gonna be difficult.
I brought IOU coffee.
Well then come in.
Ah, just in time.
Sometimes history
puts me to sleep.
Don't say that.
History's my favorite subject.
Allow me to make an amendment.
Sometimes under prepared
undergrads' essays
on history put me to sleep.
That's fair.
Thank you again for letting
me take the exam this morning.
I really appreciate it.
Don't thank me.
Thank James.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
He's a handsome man and
obviously an astute young woman
like yourself would take notice.
I hadn't really noticed.
I mean yes he's very handsome,
but oh god am I this obvious?
You're fine.
It's all good.
So, how was the exam?
Manageable I hope.
Cakewalk.
I'm obsessed with history.
I used to beg my
mother to tell me
about the Salem with trials
every night before bed.
Spooked me a little.
Really?
When I was your age, I was
hugely fascinated by the occult.
A legend tells us that
the founder of our city
Henry Calvert's wife Cybil
and their daughter Helen
remembers the witches coven.
Some even believe that
she was killed by magic.
It's the whole reason
why I even came
to Calvert in the first place.
An esteemed professor was
leading an archeological dig
to unearth the body
of Cybil Calvert.
He believed that her remains
had concrete evidence
of witchcraft so of
course I just had
to be on that dig site.
That is so cool.
Yeah and really not so much
because all I really did was
bring the professor coffee,
but when we found the
diary of Helen Calvert.
Now that was cool.
I was so excited.
I just had to make
extra copies for myself.
I get that.
I have a full copy of
her journal at my house,
but this page,
it's worth a look.
Go 'head.
See for yourself.
September 20th, 1816.
This evening mother
woke me from sleep
to sneak from my chamber
and join Miss McGregor
and my aunts Aurora and
Catherine in the arc
for a lesson in divination.
She explained to
me that it was time
for me to come into my power
because the women in our family
can make the stars dance.
September 20th.
Peculiar, isn't it?
200 years almost to the day.
And then there was a meteor
shower two nights ago.
That seems impossible.
Absolutely.
Just a coincidence.
I don't know but my
professor thought
that he could unleash
the magic himself
by simply unearthing the
body of Cybil Calvert.
Do you think that's true?
No, I don't, no.
No, 'cause he eventually
found her body
and with it no magic so.
Bummer.
Indeed.
'Cause we really
believed in the magic.
He drove himself mad trying
to prove his theories.
And one of my biggest regrets.
I can't help it.
I feel responsible for
fueling his insanity.
He was a good man.
Don't be spooked.
Okay?
You need only to fear
witches on Halloween.
Thank you for the coffee.
Don't be late to class anymore.
I'm sorry.
Dr. Lynn speaking.
I would've thought
for sure Beth
would've figured
out our plan by now.
She's tripping.
She thinks that you might
accidentally kill her
like you did Christy.
Good.
I'm gonna need her
for the ascension.
Earth element is key
for invoking Ashura.
You know, I'm pretty sure
that Beth wouldn't say shit
even if she did know that
we were gonna kill her.
As long as we tell her
that we're her friends,
she won't say shit.
Are you sure you got this?
Well the translations
were a bitch without Beth,
but it's pretty simple.
Basically you read this shit.
You do some shit with this shit
and like momma momma magic.
You are free of your soul.
Good 'cause this
soul is getting itchy.
Of the sky and of the ground,
I bid your soul be undone.
Undue the light and
usher in the dark.
Free from thought.
Expelled from within.
Clear her heart from the
soul that dwells within.
Shit.
As the soul leaves the
body, I seal the holes.
This vessel no longer
houses the soul.
This vessel no longer
houses the soul.
I give you the portal
to ascend to birth.
I invoke Ashura to this vessel.
May only her soul
dwell in this form.
How do I look?
Soulless as fuck.
Protection and light.
Hey.
I just got back from
Dr. Lynn's office.
Do you know anything about
the Calvert family legend?
Oh well that's not
much of a legend.
Right before I moved in
here there was a professor
who had a meltdown
at the university
and then that story
became a legend.
Why?
Dr. Lynn has Calvert's
daughter's diary
and I read one of the entries.
She mentions the meteor
shower the other night
and this ritual.
In my trance, my mom
said you're late.
These can't just be
accidents, Emily.
We're getting closer to
bringing back my mother.
Sophie, everything
related in this world.
Do not make it all
about yourself.
Look, I pulled a
light and protection.
What do you read in most cards?
Oh shit.
What?
I know that guy.
Seriously, a boy?
What happened to your focus?
He's just a really cute boy.
I guess the cards can wait.
James.
Sophie.
What are you doing off campus?
I'm just hanging
out at the magic.
This book shop.
Oh you mean the one that
specializes in magic books.
Uh oh.
Sophie, you into magicians,
because I've been working
on this little trick.
Oh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Very impressive.
You're too kind.
Where you headed?
Back to campus.
Wanna join?
Sounds delightful.
So I don't wanna
speak too soon,
but I feel like things are
going really well between us.
Oh, we're on different pages.
I find you utterly charmless
and I just I gotta go.
Oh, it was fun
while it lasted.
The fun doesn't
have to be over yet.
Really?
Really.
I thought you
found me charmless.
Oh, did I say that?
Sophie.
Fuck.
What?
What do you want?
Hi.
First, I wanna apologize
for what happened
with my friends this morning.
That was not okay.
No, it wasn't.
Look, if you wanna
talk to your friend...
She's not my friend.
Not yet at least.
Look, if you need a
private moment, I can...
That would be
much appreciated.
It's fine.
I know where you live now.
Only that would
sound super creepy,
but when you say it, it's
very seriously great.
Oh, seriously great.
It's good to meet you.
Beth.
My name's Beth.
Wow, firm grip, Beth.
Ladies.
Wow, he's super hot.
You would have a
super hot boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's not?
That kiss didn't look like
he's not your boyfriend.
You watching me?
Are you following me now?
No.
Well, yes.
But the thing is, is
that I am also a witch.
Shut your mouth.
What is wrong with you?
Is this your mom?
She's so pretty.
Is she also a witch?
My mom is.
She taught me the
ancient language.
She's dead.
I'm so sorry.
What do you want?
Just hear me out.
Just hear me out and then
I'll leave you alone.
Fine.
Thank you.
Okay, so Ronnie.
The psycho who threw a
snake at me in the shower.
Yes.
Not one of her finest moments.
I apologize for her.
We are a coven of
witches dedicated
to reincarnating the spirit
of our ancestor Ashura
and believe it or not, Sophie,
you are actually a direct
descendant of her coven.
How can you know that?
Well, remember that lock of
hair of yours from the shower?
Oh, so I don't
have to be worried
about some voodoo witch hex.
No, sorry.
I know Jax's approach
was a bit rough.
A bit?
She's just very passionate.
We are all passionate.
Once we invoke Ashura,
we will be all powerful.
Think of all the good you can do
with an unabridged connection
to that sort of energy.
Light and protection.
Ronnie says that when
she and Ashura are one,
we will all be rewarded
beyond our wildest dreams.
Yeah, I bet she says that.
I know.
Ronnie can be a...
Bitch.
Brat.
But she's had it really rough.
She's really not that bad.
She's just a bit defensive.
Yeah, that sounds like
a lot of bullshit to me.
It's not bull.
She invited me here to say sorry
and to invite you to
check out our coven.
Honestly Sophie,
you won't regret it.
Right now Jax and Ronnie are
doing the second ceremony
marking the vessel for Ashura.
We've already done
all the heavy lifting.
We just need you
for the final phase.
Together we will be so powerful.
Anything you've ever
wanted can come true.
My mom.
I've been trying to
bring my mother back,
but the woman who's
helping me reach the beyond
is restricting my connection.
Do you think...
Oh, I don't think.
I know.
All right.
Great.
Knock, knock.
Enter.
Hey, you all remember Sophie.
Thanks for coming, Sophie.
It's really great having you.
This is Taylor.
I remember you
from the showers.
We were just
having a little fun.
I hope you didn't take
that too personally.
Oh, how could I take
all that personally?
I'm a vegan so rest easy.
No snakes were harmed
in the showers.
That's great.
Are you vegan for
health reasons or?
It was a 30 day
social media challenge
that I actually liked
so I stuck to it.
Good for you.
Okay, so I'm here.
Now what?
Now what?
That's a great question, Sophie.
So, we're giving this
little ascension thing a go.
It's a three part ritual.
We performed the first part
of the ritual the other night.
Went out to Calvert's clearing.
Sparked up a
beautiful little fire.
Danced in the moonlight
and offered up a sexy
little blood sacrifice.
Bonfire and dancing?
Yeah, why?
Do you hate dancing
or something?
No, it's just Dr. Lynn has
little diary in her office
and it explains the exact scene.
Only it took place like...
200 years ago.
To the day.
Yeah well, yeah
so here's the deal.
Blessed be Ashura, our
destiny's are intertwined.
Isn't magic fun?
Apparently we're all
connected to this OG coven
that ripped off Ashura so
we all have to be involved
to invoke her spirit.
Okay.
So why should I help you
guys gain all this power?
It's for all of us.
Right Ronnie?
Like Ashura's shitty coven
basically just ruined her life
and now with a second shot,
she's gonna like spoil us
for bringing her back.
We're all gonna
be more powerful.
Yo, it's like this.
You help us out and
we help you out.
Whatever you want, bet your
ass Ashura will provide.
My mom.
What, she need a wart
removed or something?
She's dead.
My B.
I lost my mom, too.
And you better believe
with all this power,
I'ma take my stepdad's
life to bring her back.
Believe that.
Could you bring my mom back?
Sure.
Why the fuck not?
What do I have to do?
Whatever I say.
Okay.
I, Sophia Fox, in the
presence of the mighty ones,
do so of my own free will and
accord most solemnly swear
to ever keep secret
and always protect
the secrets of my coven.
May my magic turn against
me if I ever break this.
My solemn oath.
What's next?
Let's get lit, yo.
Too much sugar
and you'll get cranky.
You shouldn't have come.
You know better.
Turn on the light.
Hello.
There's no way I
just woke you up.
What time is it?
It's 5:30.
Rough night or what?
Something like that.
Well good luck I'm
standing outside your door
with a strawberry
lemonade then, huh?
I'll be right down.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, Beth right?
Hey handsome.
Hi.
Do I know you?
Oh, James, James, James.
Isn't that so strange?
I do that all the time.
I get out of bed and I go to
the kitchen and then poof.
I can't remember what I needed
from the kitchen anymore.
Do I know you?
Do I know...
Oh, give it a rest, honey.
Get out of here.
Where you heading so fast?
Did you miss us?
My friend is...
James?
Yeah, he...
Yeah, don't worry about him.
Let's have some fun.
Pretty sweet ride, huh?
Get in, witch.
Stupid.
When sources were
dim and are balanced
to make mom when the sun
crosses the celestial equator.
The opportunity for effect
to splurge first leads prime.
That can't be.
Oh come on, Soph.
Sophie, call me back.
It's urgent.
You were right.
Something is coming and
it's coming tonight.
Hey remember me?
I'm the real butch bitch.
Well look what
the cat drug in.
Josie and the pussylickers.
My mama told me to never hit
a lady but you ain't no lady.
Wow.
Ronnie, the cops.
Boo.
You were lucky, honey.
What am I forgetting?
Oh yeah.
Let's go.
We were never here.
He tried to rob your bar.
You stopped him.
I got you, fucker.
Let's see how they like
that asshole in jail.
Oh, my pecker.
Yeah they will.
Yeah they will.
Not gonna lie.
That felt very good.
The lunar eclipse.
'Bout damn time.
What time?
On September 22nd, an
autumn solstice pairs
with a lunar eclipse.
An event that occurs
only every 200 years.
On this day, witches
with good intentions
will experience a
surge in their powers.
This is the only day we'll
be able to harness the power
of the moon to undue the evil
magic that binds our Ashura.
Well, then let's invoke
this witch, shall we?
This is so awesome.
Now remember.
When the process starts,
I will not be able
to read the
incantation on my own.
Can you be a good little girl
and only read that passage?
Oh, I have goosebumps.
Ashura, hear us.
We weep for your lost time
and we rejoice at your return.
Ashura, hear our call.
We unite our powers
and we will them to you.
Ashura, hear our call.
Your power runs
through our coven
and it flows through our veins.
A guiding light in
the darkest night.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura, hear our call.
Unlock.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura has risen.
I knew that we could
break the bonds that.
You did this?
Yes.
You?
They can run but
they can't hide.
Bet if we had something
special of theirs,
they would coming
running back to us.
She just killed Taylor
just like she killed Christy
and she's gonna kill us next.
She killed another girl and
you still brought me to her?
I'm so sorry.
I thought it was an accident.
I thought we could
bring her back.
I thought we could
bring your mom back
and now we're all gonna die.
No.
No.
If they could bind Ashura
before, we can bind her again.
How?
We're not strong enough.
We're not strong enough.
We have to get strong enough.
I'm not ready to die
but I am ready to fight.
I know someone who can help us.
Sophie, is that you?
Turn off the light.
Did you get my voicemail?
That thing that was coming,
it's here and it's very bad.
I know it.
How can I help?
Those girls from the showers,
they're part of a witches coven.
They convinced me to join them
to help them unbind
the spirit of Ashura.
Ashura has risen and we're not
strong enough to fight her.
I need you to help me
harness more power.
But transference
from one person
to the next is very dangerous.
No, I need you to help
me harness more power.
What if the witch who wills
her power is already dead?
I'm not gonna let
you die for this, Beth.
No, not me.
Your mom.
You said you've been
contacting her from the beyond.
It means her power source
has not crossed over.
That could work, Sophie.
We call to the world
between and pedantry.
Mom.
♪ When there's rough
waters up ahead ♪
♪ And the heavens shoot
fire from the sky ♪
♪ A new moon is gonna rise ♪
♪ And mother we can't
bring them back ♪
I'm right here, Sophie.
Okay, let's do this.
How do we defeat Ashura?
I don't know.
Ronnie never let me actually
read the spells in her book.
You saw she only let me read
that one passage
to the ascension.
The diary.
You were right.
Those are not just
a coincidence.
Find that book and
you'll have your spell.
There's no time.
Seek out the diary
of Helen Calvert.
Guide them safely.
Leave town, Emily.
If we lose this battle, there
has to be somebody left too.
Be safe, Sophie.
I wish I could help you fight.
I will see you again.
Light and protection.
Remember, I pulled those
cards for a reason.
Leave now, Emily.
They probably followed us.
Oh come on.
Yo, one sec.
Oh in that case,
PlayStation can wait.
Miss me, lover.
What the?
Let's go.
Holy shit, Sophie.
What are you doing?
Spirit.
What is going on?
What is happening?
Dr. Lynn, I need
you to listen to me.
Your professor, he wasn't wrong.
Just a little early.
The witch he was looking
for, we summoned her tonight.
Ashura has risen and she
killed one of our friends.
Wait, students are dead.
A lot more people will
die if you don't help us.
Wait, we need to
call the police then.
So the magic is real?
Very real.
I think the answer on how to
stop Ashura is in this diary.
Ashura, yes.
Helen mentions that
name in her last entry.
September 23rd, 1816.
I have seen true beauty.
I have seen true evil.
There was a commotion in
front of the house last night.
My aunt Aurora had taken ill.
Her eyes were
blacker than night.
Her blood ran
purple in her veins.
Her voice was demonic.
She was yelling, you dare to
intimidate the great Ashura.
I snuck from my chambers.
I saw mother.
She was all light.
It was beautiful at first.
Then, mother screamed in the
language of our old country.
And then light flowed
from mother's hands
and wrapped around
my aunt Aurora.
She cried out for help.
Her eyes black.
The earth began to shake.
Mother screamed at her again.
Absorb us.
The light absorbs the dark.
Mother
repeated these words
over and over at my aunt.
With each utterance,
bits of fire flew
from her into my mother
until my aunt was gone.
And mother fell.
I heard her whisper,
I sacrifice for you.
Then she raised her
hand over her own face
and exclaimed.
Speak not of evil and the
evil shall remained buried.
That's it.
That's the binding spell.
I know how to stop Ronnie.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
Trick or treat.
We gotta go.
Sophie, run.
James.
Punk bitch.
Uh oh, Sophie.
You better keep a close
eye on your boyfriend
or he might die.
Is there another way out?
The back.
Eenie meenie miney moe.
Which one of your friends
is the next to go.
Ginger is really
starting to irritate me.
Where should we go?
Downtown, they won't
attack us publicly.
Bosses orders.
Let's go downtown.
I doubt Ronnie has a
problem attacking publicly.
Let's just drive out of town.
You wanna keep running, go.
Let me know how that
works out for you.
I can't live with
anymore regrets, Sophie.
I'm gonna fight with
you side by side.
I think I may know
how to stop her.
Welcome to the fight.
What's the plan?
Well, it's like
algebra, right.
So if you X times Y
equals Ashura unbounding,
you have to cross
multiply and solve for X.
We're history people.
Okay, we don't do math.
Right, sorry.
So what Cybil did
was she cast a spell
to absorb evil Ashura.
The light absorbs the
dark but Beth it killed her.
Yeah, that's kind of a thing,
but maybe there's
a way around it.
You girls cannot be serious.
You got a better plan?
Oh my god.
All you bitches
'bout to die right now.
Now Sophie.
We have to do the spell now.
Leave me
alone you slutty witch.
Give it up, Ronnie.
I'm so close to reuniting
you with your mother.
Beth, the spell.
Wild bitch.
Repeat after me.
Beth, why isn't it working?
You have to be willing
to sacrifice your life.
Sophie, no.
Don't do it.
I won't let you.
I sacrifice for you.
Dr. Lynn.
My professor would be
so proud of you, Sophie.
Don't go.
I need you.
You have to finish the spell.
I can't.
You must.
Please.
Sophie.
Sophie.
James.
You believe that?
Face wiped right off
like magic or something.
This is bad.
Bad seed.
You have a lot of
explaining to do.
You guys wanna get breakfast?
Or get a room.
Breakfast sounds great, Bethy.
Yes.
Let's do this.
Christy, Christy, Christy.
You're a brave pussycat
showing up late
and you didn't even bring a rat.
I brought beer.
'Cause I told you to.
It's so nice to see that you
take this seriously, Christy.
Yo Ronnie, is this
bitch bothering you?
'Cause I'll fucking kill her.
What?
Christy, huh?
You wanna go?
It's not like that, Jax.
Ladies, let's not fight.
Let's get lit.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Wait.
I haven't poured my shot yet.
Oh for fuck's sake, Beth.
Two.
One.
Woo.
In Ashura's
name we gather.
Tonight, three nights
before the autumn solstice,
we gather to awaken the spirit
and power of our
goddess witch Ashura
whose powers have been
bound by a jealous
and power hungry coven.
Only five witches bounded
together in the pursuit of justice
can undo the evil magic that
binds our Ashura's spirit.
Ashura, hear our call.
I am Veronica Carnihan,
direct descendant of Ashura.
Her blood pumps
through my veins.
I am Christy Carns,
daughter of Arvada Carns.
Our blood flows with the
ebbing flow of water.
With an open heart
I conjure water,
the life source that maintains
all forces on this earth.
I am Jacqueline Yellverton,
daughter of Margaret Yellverton.
Our blood burns with
the fire of the sun.
I am Taylor Lamb,
daughter of Jolie Lamb.
Our blood blows through
the trees with the air.
With an open heart,
I conjure the wind.
I am Elizabeth Laurenjer,
daughter of Robin Laurenjer.
With an open heart I conjure
wood to fuel this fire.
Converging our strengths
we offer them to you.
Ashura, hear our call.
We stand before you bravely,
accepting that as
humans we are flawed.
With my blood sacrifice,
I call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and call your spirit
back to this earth.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past
and I call your spirit
back to this earth.
Praise her.
Just remember, shallow cuts.
With my blood sacrifice, I
right the wrongs of the past.
Louder.
With my blood
sacrifice, I right.
With my blood.
Ashura, hear our call.
Return to us.
Return to us, Ashura.
You.
Guess we gotta find a fifth.
Mom.
Mom.
Come out, come
out, wherever you are.
Mom.
That
looks really ripe.
Mom.
It's okay, you're back.
I was with her, Emily,
and I was eating an apple
and then it was
covered in maggots.
Breathe.
Take a deep breath.
There's no strength in haste.
For every light action,
there's always
balancing of the dark.
Today was the first time you
were able to reach your mother.
The rotten apple was
just a dark reaction.
Let's go again.
I get it.
If it was my mom,
I would never stop.
I should go.
Center your energy.
We'll go back again
when you're ready.
Sophie, remember you're
just a normal girl
who has to study
for her midterms.
Right, midterms.
Eureka.
What?
I figured it out.
Sh.
Sorry.
Meet me at the bell tower in 10.
Bring my magic box.
Woo ooh ooh.
This is some super
cute crafting crafts.
We're not crafting.
We're doing a manifestation
spell to find a fifth witch.
I believe Christy was...
Uh uh uh.
Better not let Ronnie catch
you speaking that name.
Right.
So the only way
to undo the spell
that bonds Ashura is to
find a physical element
of every witch who
casts original spell.
I guess all of our blood
lines are intertwined
with the original coven.
What are the odds
that our goddess
would put us all in one spot?
Best buds blood.
Ouch.
Oh relax.
Blood of the coven
seeking a member.
Amethyst to ground
that bonds for balance.
Fragments of our location
to bid her come near.
A fast burning wick
to heighten our spell.
We call on Ashura to manifest
our fifth witch come near.
That's it?
Sure looks like a
crafty craft to me.
How much of a spell was it?
Yawn, Zak let's go fuck.
Yes please.
Guys, I think it's working.
That was rude.
God.
That was a nasty spill.
Oh that's okay.
No, don't be silly.
Let me help you.
Sorry, I guess midterms
are getting to me.
Where we headed?
I'm on the fourth floor.
Really?
My friends Jax and
Ronnie are on that floor.
I've never seen you.
Who's your roommate?
I have a single.
I like to keep to myself.
Well, you don't have to
keep to yourself anymore.
I'm Beth.
Great.
Sophie.
So, what do you do for fun?
I can't believe I haven't
seen you around yet.
I'm here all the time.
This is me.
I didn't have many
friends in high school.
Weird.
But the girls here.
Well, you'll just have to
meet Ronnie and Jax yourself.
Do you have any plans for lunch?
Just gonna study.
Study?
I love studying.
Do you need a study buddy?
I'm easily distracted so I
was just gonna grab a PB and J
and sit at my desk.
Oh.
Okay.
I get it.
But maybe next time.
Sure.
Next time.
Wonder why you
have no friends.
It's just like blah,
blah, blah on every page.
I can't with this
ancient text shit
and where the fuck is Beth?
Blah, blah, blah.
Is that really all
it says, Taylor?
Whoa chill, okay.
My brain is just overheating
with this hocus pocus shit.
Chill.
Jax, she just told me to chill.
Were you too hot, Tay?
Is it getting too
warm in here for you?
Did you want me to grab you
and ice frap you,
base ass bitch?
Whatever, Jax.
I don't see you piping
up with any new info.
They're like reading
shitty fucking poems.
I can't.
How 'bout I just turn the
temp down in here for you?
How 'bout that?
I'm sorry, stop.
Real.
This isn't funny.
Hey.
Hey, whatever you
need, I got you okay.
Okay, well what I
need is for you two
to take this shit seriously.
What I need is for you to
find me a fifth fucking witch.
Listen, listen.
Unfreeze Taylor because she
ain't nothing but a thought,
but without her we will be
two witches shy of a coven
and we can't have
that now can we?
Fine.
Das.
Thank you.
Shut up.
Sorry.
Oh crap.
I am so sorry.
Goddamn time you fuck wit.
Where the fuck have you been?
If you can't take
this seriously,
then we'll make you
take this seriously.
You and Zak just bailed.
I came as fast as I could.
Don't blame me
because your stupid
manifestation spell didn't work.
You're supposed to be
the smart one, Beth.
Everyone has their strengths.
I guess I'm just having a
hard time focusing well with...
Get over it.
Maybe dying was
Christy's strength.
Now move on, Beth.
This grieving, it's tired.
I think I found a fifth.
What?
Where?
After Taylor left I
focused all my energy...
Oh for the love of fuck, Beth.
Spit it out.
The manifestation
spell worked.
It led me right to
this girl Sophie.
I saw her turn the lights off
in her dorm and shut her door.
You saw a girl shut her dorm
door and turn her lights off?
Blessed Ashura, Beth.
You've done it.
You have found another person
who can't fucking stand you.
Very funny, guys,
but I'm serious.
The flame from my manifestation
spell led me right to her.
I think we should check it out.
Wait.
What do you mean check it out?
Well, I'll need a sample
of something she owns.
Like a piece of her.
A piece of her, huh?
Oh that sounds like fun.
Yeah, let's have some fun.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Like it would be fun.
♪ A new moon is gonna rise ♪
♪ And mother we can't
bring them back ♪
Nice song.
We'll be in touch.
Kisses.
Back so soon.
Are you okay?
No.
I was just attacked
in the dorms.
I'll call the campus security.
Don't.
It was a group of witches.
Witches?
That can't be.
It can because it is.
What did they want?
I don't know.
They just made with the hexing
mostly and they cut my hair.
They cut your hair?
This is not good.
I didn't think so.
There are some terrible spells
for the use of
something personal.
I don't love that.
Let me call on the
divinity for some answers.
Let's go right to the source.
It's more than a coincidence
that this happened
the same day we
finally made contact.
I wanna reach my mother.
If your intention is
pure, I'll help you.
Clear your mind.
Keep your query precise.
Sophie, if your energy's off,
we risk conjuring
a parasite entity.
Do you understand that?
I do.
The call to the
world between and pedantry.
Mom.
You're late.
For what?
What's coming?
Mom.
Please.
Mom.
What did you see?
A girl.
She was all cut and bloodied.
My mom saved her.
Take a breath.
We knew this path
would be painful.
It's not painful.
Please, send me back now.
I'll focus my...
Take a harder deep breath.
Do not allow reaching your
mother to consume you.
There are some repercussions
for using such power selfishly.
I just feel so powerless.
You need balance.
Did your mother say anything?
You're late.
Late for what?
What?
It's 11:15.
My midterm.
I am late.
It's okay.
Look at your feet.
You're exactly where
you're supposed
to be in this very moment.
Thank you.
But you better run.
Hey, Dr. Lynn?
Yes?
I've got a new joke.
Uh oh.
Ha ha.
What was the pilgrims
favorite kind of music?
I don't know but I'm
sure you're gonna tell me.
Plymouth rock.
Oh Lord.
You really should work
on your looks more.
That's a sense of humor.
Dr. Lynn everybody.
She's here indefinitely.
Do not forget to tip your TAs.
Shit.
Shit.
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
I mean, dang it.
Can we help you?
I'm sorry I'm late.
I got caught up.
There are no acceptable
excuses, Sophie.
I know.
I just really need
to take this exam.
Well, I know you
do but you missed it.
Okay.
I get it.
I can stay.
You totally don't have to.
This is my fault.
I don't mind.
James.
Professor, really.
I was gonna go home
and play some GTA.
Another hour long American
History is justice.
Stimulating.
Okay.
Make sure you bring me her
exam as soon as she's finished.
Sophie, you really
lucked out this time.
Do not do it again
and you owe me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
James.
James.
This is really nice of you.
Hey, what was the pilgrim's
favorite kind of music?
Is that a test question?
Because I did not study
pilgrim pop culture.
I'm joking.
Well I was gonna tell a joke.
Oh.
It's a lame joke anyway.
Let's start, shall we?
Okay.
Sophie, good luck.
Hickory dickory doc, Beth.
Okay, time's up.
Please tell me you have
something I wanna hear.
Line full.
Holy smokes.
It's a match.
Are you sure?
Well, I can cross reference
if you let me look in that...
No.
No.
This is my book.
Well then I guess you're
gonna have to trust my magic.
Are you gonna trust your
life in your magic, Beth?
You just gotta trust
the universe, Ron.
Ashura with provide
and when she does,
I'm gonna use our power to be
the most beautiful
women in the world.
Yeah, Tay, let's just
trust the universe.
We'll just sit back and
wait for Ashura to provide.
Yeah, I mean whatever
will be, will be, right?
Que sera sera.
Hakuna matata, huh Beth?
Are you gonna sit back
and trust the universe
to put this fire out, too, Beth?
I don't.
What was that?
I couldn't quite hear you.
Louder, Beth.
I trust you, Ronnie.
I trust you.
Okay.
Okay then.
You got this.
We trust you.
All right.
You guys best stop right now.
Making me sick over here.
Trying to enjoy my beer.
Oh hell motherfucker no.
You and that butch
bitch almost look
like a respectable couple.
You laughing at me, bitch?
You purple haired rug muncher.
The fuck's wrong with you, girl?
I'm bored.
Play time.
Patience, boo.
You get the fuck out of here.
We'll be back.
That's right.
That's what I
thought tinkerbells.
Get your ass out of here.
Ashura won't
treat me like that.
Beth, bring me Sophie.
How?
Drug her, trick her,
hit her over the head.
I don't care.
Just bring her to me
and bring her now.
I mean that's
gonna be difficult.
I brought IOU coffee.
Well then come in.
Ah, just in time.
Sometimes history
puts me to sleep.
Don't say that.
History's my favorite subject.
Allow me to make an amendment.
Sometimes under prepared
undergrads' essays
on history put me to sleep.
That's fair.
Thank you again for letting
me take the exam this morning.
I really appreciate it.
Don't thank me.
Thank James.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
He's a handsome man and
obviously an astute young woman
like yourself would take notice.
I hadn't really noticed.
I mean yes he's very handsome,
but oh god am I this obvious?
You're fine.
It's all good.
So, how was the exam?
Manageable I hope.
Cakewalk.
I'm obsessed with history.
I used to beg my
mother to tell me
about the Salem with trials
every night before bed.
Spooked me a little.
Really?
When I was your age, I was
hugely fascinated by the occult.
A legend tells us that
the founder of our city
Henry Calvert's wife Cybil
and their daughter Helen
remembers the witches coven.
Some even believe that
she was killed by magic.
It's the whole reason
why I even came
to Calvert in the first place.
An esteemed professor was
leading an archeological dig
to unearth the body
of Cybil Calvert.
He believed that her remains
had concrete evidence
of witchcraft so of
course I just had
to be on that dig site.
That is so cool.
Yeah and really not so much
because all I really did was
bring the professor coffee,
but when we found the
diary of Helen Calvert.
Now that was cool.
I was so excited.
I just had to make
extra copies for myself.
I get that.
I have a full copy of
her journal at my house,
but this page,
it's worth a look.
Go 'head.
See for yourself.
September 20th, 1816.
This evening mother
woke me from sleep
to sneak from my chamber
and join Miss McGregor
and my aunts Aurora and
Catherine in the arc
for a lesson in divination.
She explained to
me that it was time
for me to come into my power
because the women in our family
can make the stars dance.
September 20th.
Peculiar, isn't it?
200 years almost to the day.
And then there was a meteor
shower two nights ago.
That seems impossible.
Absolutely.
Just a coincidence.
I don't know but my
professor thought
that he could unleash
the magic himself
by simply unearthing the
body of Cybil Calvert.
Do you think that's true?
No, I don't, no.
No, 'cause he eventually
found her body
and with it no magic so.
Bummer.
Indeed.
'Cause we really
believed in the magic.
He drove himself mad trying
to prove his theories.
And one of my biggest regrets.
I can't help it.
I feel responsible for
fueling his insanity.
He was a good man.
Don't be spooked.
Okay?
You need only to fear
witches on Halloween.
Thank you for the coffee.
Don't be late to class anymore.
I'm sorry.
Dr. Lynn speaking.
I would've thought
for sure Beth
would've figured
out our plan by now.
She's tripping.
She thinks that you might
accidentally kill her
like you did Christy.
Good.
I'm gonna need her
for the ascension.
Earth element is key
for invoking Ashura.
You know, I'm pretty sure
that Beth wouldn't say shit
even if she did know that
we were gonna kill her.
As long as we tell her
that we're her friends,
she won't say shit.
Are you sure you got this?
Well the translations
were a bitch without Beth,
but it's pretty simple.
Basically you read this shit.
You do some shit with this shit
and like momma momma magic.
You are free of your soul.
Good 'cause this
soul is getting itchy.
Of the sky and of the ground,
I bid your soul be undone.
Undue the light and
usher in the dark.
Free from thought.
Expelled from within.
Clear her heart from the
soul that dwells within.
Shit.
As the soul leaves the
body, I seal the holes.
This vessel no longer
houses the soul.
This vessel no longer
houses the soul.
I give you the portal
to ascend to birth.
I invoke Ashura to this vessel.
May only her soul
dwell in this form.
How do I look?
Soulless as fuck.
Protection and light.
Hey.
I just got back from
Dr. Lynn's office.
Do you know anything about
the Calvert family legend?
Oh well that's not
much of a legend.
Right before I moved in
here there was a professor
who had a meltdown
at the university
and then that story
became a legend.
Why?
Dr. Lynn has Calvert's
daughter's diary
and I read one of the entries.
She mentions the meteor
shower the other night
and this ritual.
In my trance, my mom
said you're late.
These can't just be
accidents, Emily.
We're getting closer to
bringing back my mother.
Sophie, everything
related in this world.
Do not make it all
about yourself.
Look, I pulled a
light and protection.
What do you read in most cards?
Oh shit.
What?
I know that guy.
Seriously, a boy?
What happened to your focus?
He's just a really cute boy.
I guess the cards can wait.
James.
Sophie.
What are you doing off campus?
I'm just hanging
out at the magic.
This book shop.
Oh you mean the one that
specializes in magic books.
Uh oh.
Sophie, you into magicians,
because I've been working
on this little trick.
Oh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Very impressive.
You're too kind.
Where you headed?
Back to campus.
Wanna join?
Sounds delightful.
So I don't wanna
speak too soon,
but I feel like things are
going really well between us.
Oh, we're on different pages.
I find you utterly charmless
and I just I gotta go.
Oh, it was fun
while it lasted.
The fun doesn't
have to be over yet.
Really?
Really.
I thought you
found me charmless.
Oh, did I say that?
Sophie.
Fuck.
What?
What do you want?
Hi.
First, I wanna apologize
for what happened
with my friends this morning.
That was not okay.
No, it wasn't.
Look, if you wanna
talk to your friend...
She's not my friend.
Not yet at least.
Look, if you need a
private moment, I can...
That would be
much appreciated.
It's fine.
I know where you live now.
Only that would
sound super creepy,
but when you say it, it's
very seriously great.
Oh, seriously great.
It's good to meet you.
Beth.
My name's Beth.
Wow, firm grip, Beth.
Ladies.
Wow, he's super hot.
You would have a
super hot boyfriend.
He's not my boyfriend.
He's not?
That kiss didn't look like
he's not your boyfriend.
You watching me?
Are you following me now?
No.
Well, yes.
But the thing is, is
that I am also a witch.
Shut your mouth.
What is wrong with you?
Is this your mom?
She's so pretty.
Is she also a witch?
My mom is.
She taught me the
ancient language.
She's dead.
I'm so sorry.
What do you want?
Just hear me out.
Just hear me out and then
I'll leave you alone.
Fine.
Thank you.
Okay, so Ronnie.
The psycho who threw a
snake at me in the shower.
Yes.
Not one of her finest moments.
I apologize for her.
We are a coven of
witches dedicated
to reincarnating the spirit
of our ancestor Ashura
and believe it or not, Sophie,
you are actually a direct
descendant of her coven.
How can you know that?
Well, remember that lock of
hair of yours from the shower?
Oh, so I don't
have to be worried
about some voodoo witch hex.
No, sorry.
I know Jax's approach
was a bit rough.
A bit?
She's just very passionate.
We are all passionate.
Once we invoke Ashura,
we will be all powerful.
Think of all the good you can do
with an unabridged connection
to that sort of energy.
Light and protection.
Ronnie says that when
she and Ashura are one,
we will all be rewarded
beyond our wildest dreams.
Yeah, I bet she says that.
I know.
Ronnie can be a...
Bitch.
Brat.
But she's had it really rough.
She's really not that bad.
She's just a bit defensive.
Yeah, that sounds like
a lot of bullshit to me.
It's not bull.
She invited me here to say sorry
and to invite you to
check out our coven.
Honestly Sophie,
you won't regret it.
Right now Jax and Ronnie are
doing the second ceremony
marking the vessel for Ashura.
We've already done
all the heavy lifting.
We just need you
for the final phase.
Together we will be so powerful.
Anything you've ever
wanted can come true.
My mom.
I've been trying to
bring my mother back,
but the woman who's
helping me reach the beyond
is restricting my connection.
Do you think...
Oh, I don't think.
I know.
All right.
Great.
Knock, knock.
Enter.
Hey, you all remember Sophie.
Thanks for coming, Sophie.
It's really great having you.
This is Taylor.
I remember you
from the showers.
We were just
having a little fun.
I hope you didn't take
that too personally.
Oh, how could I take
all that personally?
I'm a vegan so rest easy.
No snakes were harmed
in the showers.
That's great.
Are you vegan for
health reasons or?
It was a 30 day
social media challenge
that I actually liked
so I stuck to it.
Good for you.
Okay, so I'm here.
Now what?
Now what?
That's a great question, Sophie.
So, we're giving this
little ascension thing a go.
It's a three part ritual.
We performed the first part
of the ritual the other night.
Went out to Calvert's clearing.
Sparked up a
beautiful little fire.
Danced in the moonlight
and offered up a sexy
little blood sacrifice.
Bonfire and dancing?
Yeah, why?
Do you hate dancing
or something?
No, it's just Dr. Lynn has
little diary in her office
and it explains the exact scene.
Only it took place like...
200 years ago.
To the day.
Yeah well, yeah
so here's the deal.
Blessed be Ashura, our
destiny's are intertwined.
Isn't magic fun?
Apparently we're all
connected to this OG coven
that ripped off Ashura so
we all have to be involved
to invoke her spirit.
Okay.
So why should I help you
guys gain all this power?
It's for all of us.
Right Ronnie?
Like Ashura's shitty coven
basically just ruined her life
and now with a second shot,
she's gonna like spoil us
for bringing her back.
We're all gonna
be more powerful.
Yo, it's like this.
You help us out and
we help you out.
Whatever you want, bet your
ass Ashura will provide.
My mom.
What, she need a wart
removed or something?
She's dead.
My B.
I lost my mom, too.
And you better believe
with all this power,
I'ma take my stepdad's
life to bring her back.
Believe that.
Could you bring my mom back?
Sure.
Why the fuck not?
What do I have to do?
Whatever I say.
Okay.
I, Sophia Fox, in the
presence of the mighty ones,
do so of my own free will and
accord most solemnly swear
to ever keep secret
and always protect
the secrets of my coven.
May my magic turn against
me if I ever break this.
My solemn oath.
What's next?
Let's get lit, yo.
Too much sugar
and you'll get cranky.
You shouldn't have come.
You know better.
Turn on the light.
Hello.
There's no way I
just woke you up.
What time is it?
It's 5:30.
Rough night or what?
Something like that.
Well good luck I'm
standing outside your door
with a strawberry
lemonade then, huh?
I'll be right down.
I'll be waiting.
Hey, Beth right?
Hey handsome.
Hi.
Do I know you?
Oh, James, James, James.
Isn't that so strange?
I do that all the time.
I get out of bed and I go to
the kitchen and then poof.
I can't remember what I needed
from the kitchen anymore.
Do I know you?
Do I know...
Oh, give it a rest, honey.
Get out of here.
Where you heading so fast?
Did you miss us?
My friend is...
James?
Yeah, he...
Yeah, don't worry about him.
Let's have some fun.
Pretty sweet ride, huh?
Get in, witch.
Stupid.
When sources were
dim and are balanced
to make mom when the sun
crosses the celestial equator.
The opportunity for effect
to splurge first leads prime.
That can't be.
Oh come on, Soph.
Sophie, call me back.
It's urgent.
You were right.
Something is coming and
it's coming tonight.
Hey remember me?
I'm the real butch bitch.
Well look what
the cat drug in.
Josie and the pussylickers.
My mama told me to never hit
a lady but you ain't no lady.
Wow.
Ronnie, the cops.
Boo.
You were lucky, honey.
What am I forgetting?
Oh yeah.
Let's go.
We were never here.
He tried to rob your bar.
You stopped him.
I got you, fucker.
Let's see how they like
that asshole in jail.
Oh, my pecker.
Yeah they will.
Yeah they will.
Not gonna lie.
That felt very good.
The lunar eclipse.
'Bout damn time.
What time?
On September 22nd, an
autumn solstice pairs
with a lunar eclipse.
An event that occurs
only every 200 years.
On this day, witches
with good intentions
will experience a
surge in their powers.
This is the only day we'll
be able to harness the power
of the moon to undue the evil
magic that binds our Ashura.
Well, then let's invoke
this witch, shall we?
This is so awesome.
Now remember.
When the process starts,
I will not be able
to read the
incantation on my own.
Can you be a good little girl
and only read that passage?
Oh, I have goosebumps.
Ashura, hear us.
We weep for your lost time
and we rejoice at your return.
Ashura, hear our call.
We unite our powers
and we will them to you.
Ashura, hear our call.
Your power runs
through our coven
and it flows through our veins.
A guiding light in
the darkest night.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura, hear our call.
Unlock.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura, hear our call.
Ashura has risen.
I knew that we could
break the bonds that.
You did this?
Yes.
You?
They can run but
they can't hide.
Bet if we had something
special of theirs,
they would coming
running back to us.
She just killed Taylor
just like she killed Christy
and she's gonna kill us next.
She killed another girl and
you still brought me to her?
I'm so sorry.
I thought it was an accident.
I thought we could
bring her back.
I thought we could
bring your mom back
and now we're all gonna die.
No.
No.
If they could bind Ashura
before, we can bind her again.
How?
We're not strong enough.
We're not strong enough.
We have to get strong enough.
I'm not ready to die
but I am ready to fight.
I know someone who can help us.
Sophie, is that you?
Turn off the light.
Did you get my voicemail?
That thing that was coming,
it's here and it's very bad.
I know it.
How can I help?
Those girls from the showers,
they're part of a witches coven.
They convinced me to join them
to help them unbind
the spirit of Ashura.
Ashura has risen and we're not
strong enough to fight her.
I need you to help me
harness more power.
But transference
from one person
to the next is very dangerous.
No, I need you to help
me harness more power.
What if the witch who wills
her power is already dead?
I'm not gonna let
you die for this, Beth.
No, not me.
Your mom.
You said you've been
contacting her from the beyond.
It means her power source
has not crossed over.
That could work, Sophie.
We call to the world
between and pedantry.
Mom.
♪ When there's rough
waters up ahead ♪
♪ And the heavens shoot
fire from the sky ♪
♪ A new moon is gonna rise ♪
♪ And mother we can't
bring them back ♪
I'm right here, Sophie.
Okay, let's do this.
How do we defeat Ashura?
I don't know.
Ronnie never let me actually
read the spells in her book.
You saw she only let me read
that one passage
to the ascension.
The diary.
You were right.
Those are not just
a coincidence.
Find that book and
you'll have your spell.
There's no time.
Seek out the diary
of Helen Calvert.
Guide them safely.
Leave town, Emily.
If we lose this battle, there
has to be somebody left too.
Be safe, Sophie.
I wish I could help you fight.
I will see you again.
Light and protection.
Remember, I pulled those
cards for a reason.
Leave now, Emily.
They probably followed us.
Oh come on.
Yo, one sec.
Oh in that case,
PlayStation can wait.
Miss me, lover.
What the?
Let's go.
Holy shit, Sophie.
What are you doing?
Spirit.
What is going on?
What is happening?
Dr. Lynn, I need
you to listen to me.
Your professor, he wasn't wrong.
Just a little early.
The witch he was looking
for, we summoned her tonight.
Ashura has risen and she
killed one of our friends.
Wait, students are dead.
A lot more people will
die if you don't help us.
Wait, we need to
call the police then.
So the magic is real?
Very real.
I think the answer on how to
stop Ashura is in this diary.
Ashura, yes.
Helen mentions that
name in her last entry.
September 23rd, 1816.
I have seen true beauty.
I have seen true evil.
There was a commotion in
front of the house last night.
My aunt Aurora had taken ill.
Her eyes were
blacker than night.
Her blood ran
purple in her veins.
Her voice was demonic.
She was yelling, you dare to
intimidate the great Ashura.
I snuck from my chambers.
I saw mother.
She was all light.
It was beautiful at first.
Then, mother screamed in the
language of our old country.
And then light flowed
from mother's hands
and wrapped around
my aunt Aurora.
She cried out for help.
Her eyes black.
The earth began to shake.
Mother screamed at her again.
Absorb us.
The light absorbs the dark.
Mother
repeated these words
over and over at my aunt.
With each utterance,
bits of fire flew
from her into my mother
until my aunt was gone.
And mother fell.
I heard her whisper,
I sacrifice for you.
Then she raised her
hand over her own face
and exclaimed.
Speak not of evil and the
evil shall remained buried.
That's it.
That's the binding spell.
I know how to stop Ronnie.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
Trick or treat.
We gotta go.
Sophie, run.
James.
Punk bitch.
Uh oh, Sophie.
You better keep a close
eye on your boyfriend
or he might die.
Is there another way out?
The back.
Eenie meenie miney moe.
Which one of your friends
is the next to go.
Ginger is really
starting to irritate me.
Where should we go?
Downtown, they won't
attack us publicly.
Bosses orders.
Let's go downtown.
I doubt Ronnie has a
problem attacking publicly.
Let's just drive out of town.
You wanna keep running, go.
Let me know how that
works out for you.
I can't live with
anymore regrets, Sophie.
I'm gonna fight with
you side by side.
I think I may know
how to stop her.
Welcome to the fight.
What's the plan?
Well, it's like
algebra, right.
So if you X times Y
equals Ashura unbounding,
you have to cross
multiply and solve for X.
We're history people.
Okay, we don't do math.
Right, sorry.
So what Cybil did
was she cast a spell
to absorb evil Ashura.
The light absorbs the
dark but Beth it killed her.
Yeah, that's kind of a thing,
but maybe there's
a way around it.
You girls cannot be serious.
You got a better plan?
Oh my god.
All you bitches
'bout to die right now.
Now Sophie.
We have to do the spell now.
Leave me
alone you slutty witch.
Give it up, Ronnie.
I'm so close to reuniting
you with your mother.
Beth, the spell.
Wild bitch.
Repeat after me.
Beth, why isn't it working?
You have to be willing
to sacrifice your life.
Sophie, no.
Don't do it.
I won't let you.
I sacrifice for you.
Dr. Lynn.
My professor would be
so proud of you, Sophie.
Don't go.
I need you.
You have to finish the spell.
I can't.
You must.
Please.
Sophie.
Sophie.
James.
You believe that?
Face wiped right off
like magic or something.
This is bad.
Bad seed.
You have a lot of
explaining to do.
You guys wanna get breakfast?
Or get a room.
Breakfast sounds great, Bethy.
