SISTER: Silence!
Our guests
will be here shortly.
You don'’t want them
to find you
clacking like little mice.
[DOOR OPENS]
[STUDENT CHUCKLING]
Class...
I want you to meet
our new student.
This is Lilly White.
She'’ll be joining your class
and boarding with you.
So, please,
make her feel welcome.
STUDENTS: Hello, Lilly.
Hi.
FATHER: Now, uh...
Go find a seat...
And after class you can
check out your room and unpack.
[CROW CAWING]
[STUDENTS GIGGLING]
You can sit next to us.
LILLY: Thanks.
I'’m Cally
and this is Morgan.
MORGAN: Hi.LILLY: Hi.
Don'’t worry about
the snob squad.
When they were born,
they got attitude
instead of feelings.
Ah, my guests have arrived.
Thank you for
showing them, Joseph.
JOHNNY: Sorry we'’re late.
Oh, yeah.
Traffic was a bit,
uh, bad.
Um... Traffic was very bad.
Well, I don'’t think we could
have kept them detained
much longer.
They really seem eager
to learn about jazz.
That'’s great.
Hi.Hello.
Hi, I'’m Johnny Domino,
and this is Raleigh Jordan.
Hey.
JOHNNY: I'’m here to talk
to you about jazz.
And Raleigh'’s gonna help out
by letting you hear
what I'’m talking about.
JOHNNY: We hope you'’ll get
a better understanding
of what makes jazz,
jazz.
And, uh, it beats way
through chemistry.
I like the way
through his chemistry.
JOHNNY: There'’s one important
difference between, let'’s say,
classical music and jazz.
With classical...
The music is more important
than the performance.
But with Jazz, it'’s the music
and the performance that
makes it special.
Whats that?
JOHNNY: First time I heard
a jazz tune, I was hooked...
Can I see it?
JOHNNY: The more I listened
the more I learned.
The important thing to
playing any instrument is...
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
JOHNNY: ...is to relax
and have fun.
So how many of you play
musical instruments?
GIRL: I do.
GIRL: Ahem.Girl 2: I do not.
Good.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
No! My parents.
[DOOR OPENS]
SISTER: Remember, Lilly,
supper is promptly at 5:30.
You are required to
attend all masses
and school activities.
You may not put
anything on your walls
without Father Michael'’s
or my approval.
You will observe strict
personal hygiene at all times.
And there is no music
allowed after supper.
Any questions, Lilly?
No, Sister.
Yes, Father?Welcome, child.
Uh... Welcome.
CALLY: So, what do you think
of Father Timothy?
He teaches classics.
Latin, Greek...
He'’s a little bit
eccentric, but...
MORGAN: Totally whacked,
is more like it.
We heard Aggie laying
down the law to you.
Don'’t let her get to you.
I'’m used to rules.
You know, what they said
about you being
in a funny farm?
Yeah, but I didn'’t expect it
to get around until
at least the second day.
CALLY: You'’re wearing
a pentagram?
Is that why they put you away?
Or did they, like,
think you'’re in league
with Lucifer or something?
Or did they try to
exorcise the evil spirits?
No, but I really don'’t want
to talk about it.
CALLY: Sorry.
We didn'’t mean to pry.
We don'’t even believe in
Lucifer, or Satan,
or the devil.
CALLY: We believe in...
The Goddess.
LILLY: Excuse me?
MORGAN: You know...
The Goddess.
The personification of deity.
MORGAN: Our universal mother?
Wicca?
Wicca.
So, you'’re witches?
We thought you might be
sympathetic to the cause
seeing as how you'’re
wearing a pentagram.
Look, I hate to burst
your bubble, but,
I'’ve had this
ever since I was born.
I think my mother
may have given it to me.
Whoever she is...
Wherever she is.
MORGAN: Oh...
Uh, so you'’re like an orphan?
Well, that'’s okay.
You can hang with us.
You can join our coven.
CALLY: Morgan, technically,
we do not have a coven.
You need at least three
withches to make a coven.
Yeah, well,
she can be our third.
So, come on, what do you say?
Thanks, but no thanks.
CALLY: We could teach you
to do love spells.
I saw the way you were
looking at Johnny Domino.
What if you could make him
fall in love with you?
Look, I know that
you both mean well, but...
Really...
I am not interested.
Oh, how do you know
if you don'’t even try?
No!
[CLANKING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
FATHER MICHAEL: Lilly White.
A name that
contradicts her past.
JOHNNY: Why, what'’s her story?
She was abandoned as a baby.
A construction worker
found her lying in a forest
in Southern Ireland.
An American family,
the Whites, adopted her,
took her to their home
in Ohio.
They died, tragically,
soon after.
She was placed
with foster family
after foster family,
and tragedy always seemed
to follow her.
Poor Lilly reached her
breaking point a year ago
when her last set of
foster parents died
in a fire.
And fearing she would
do harm to herself,
she was
sent away for some rest.
You mean committed
to a mental institution?
Yes.
Now we'’re trying to
provide her with a caring
and stable environment, but...
Re-building trust and hope
in a person
that'’s had their whole life
continually ripped apart
is quite a challenge.
Her music
is the only true
consistency in her life.
She'’s quite
a talented pianist.
Well, if there'’s anything
I can do to help...
There just might be.
We have a mentor program here,
and she is interested
in music as a profession.
[EXHALES] You could
teach her about what you do,
show her where your work,
or just listen.
If you'’re up
for the challenge.
Sure.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
That was good.
What else do you know?
[PLAYING THE BLUES]
Now that was great.
Thank you.
Uh... You bounced around
the country so much...
How do you find time
to practice?
I just do it.
It'’s the only thing I have
any real control over.
[EXHALES]
And this is my medallion.
Whoa... You wear
this all the time?
It'’s so heavy.
Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCREAMING]
Hey, John.
JOHNNY: Oh... Uh, hey, Briony.
Picking up strays again?
I gave up on wild things,
and found a man
I can depend on.
Meet, Charlie. Mwah.
Ooh, I get it.
Something you can train.
Well, you can train a man too,
but who has that kind of time.
[DOG WHINING]
Oh, uh, Lilly, this is, uh,
Briony, and, uh...
Charlie.
BRIONY: Hi.
Oh, hey, don'’t stop
because of me.
LILLY: I have to get back.
Sister Agnes is really
strict about curfew.
Mmm. I remember
what that was like.
How old are you? Fifteen?
Sixteen.
[DOG WHINING]
LILLY: Could we do this again?
Sure, anytime.
[LILLY CHUCKLING] Really?
Thank you.
See you later.Bye.
Hey...
Mwah.
Somebody has a crush on you.
Yeah, I know.
Dogs love me.
CALLY: You have passed the test.
Are you ready to swear
fealty to the craft?
LILLY: I am.
CALLY: Then pronounce now
the oath of the dedicant
as I have told you.
I, Lilly White,
in the presence of
the almighty ones,
do freely and solemnly swear,
that I will ever be true
to the craft.
That I shall follow the rule
to the best of my ability,
that I won'’t reveal
the secrets of the craft.
That I shall help,
protect, and defend
my sisters and brothers
of the craft.
This, I swear on my life.
And may my tools be
turned against me
if I break this.
My solemn oath.
I know you with wine.
I know you with my lips.
Now, take this chalice...
And silently chant
the magical words
as you drink.
Echo, echo...
Echo, echo...
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you all right?
LILLY: Yeah, I guess so.
Oh, that was totally freaky.
Haven'’t you ever wondered
where that came from?
Of course I'’ve wondered.
CALLY: I mean...
Morgan and I have been
doing this for almost two years.
And I'’ve never seen
anything like that.
MORGAN: What if you'’re
the real thing?
What do you mean?
Have you ever tried
any spells or anything?
No.
See that spoon on the desk?
Try moving it
by using just your mind.
LILLY: Right,
so I'’ll just use the force?
Uh, come on.
Try it.
I dare you.
Ooh, I guess that
I have to do it then?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[EXHALES]
[RATTLING AND RUMBLING]
[CHUCKLING]
I'’m doing it!
[CHUCKLING] I'’m doing it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
How is this possible?
[EXHALES]
There'’s something
so sad about her.
As if she'’s out of place.
If we could find out
where she came from,
who her mother was or is,
we can figure out
where she belongs.
Let me work on it.
Yeah, I'’m going to talk
to Father Michael again.
I'’ll be...
You'’re right.
The Church did try
to take charge of the infant.
But only because there was
no Irish family willing
to adopt her.
There are a lot of
superstitious folks in
that part of the world, and...
A baby left abandoned
in a haunted forest was
too much for them, I suppose.
Haunted forest?
I visited there once.
Didn'’t seem, uh,
haunted to me.
But the locals are
scared to death of the place.
It has something to do
with an old
Celtic legend.
You know, Father Timothy
is something of an expert,
if you are interested?
Yes, I am.
Well, I'’m sure he's retired
for the night, but, uh...
Come back tomorrow,
if you like?
Okay, thanks.
Oh, and Mister Domino...
I give you fair warning...
He might talk your leg off.
Thank you.
[SLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Ah, come on.
[EXHALES]
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER]
[GASPS]
What'’s happening?
We'’re floating up.
Jut think happy thoughts.
[LAUGHTER]
[ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPS]
[LAUGHTER]
I'’ve never felt so free.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]
FATHER TIMOTHY: The myth
of the enchanted forest
comes to us mainly
from Celtic sources.
Briefly put, it goes
something like this...
Now, all of their druid nobility
was extinct except for one,
a beautiful queen named Airmed.
But the witches tricked her.
They convinced her
to mate with Dagda,
the great-horned God.
Now, you'’ll have to picture
him as seven-feet tall
with reddish skin,
all leathery-like...
JOHNNY: A real looker, huh?FATHER TIMOTHY: Indeed.
FATHER TIMOTHY: Must have had
a grand personality.
Be that as it may,
the queen gave birth
to a little girl,
a beautiful baby.
The witches tried to claim her,
but the queen hid her
inside of a tree.
One of the very same trees
in the little forest
where Lilly was found.
So, none of the locals
wanted to adopt her
because they thought
she was some kind of
evil druid princess?
Precisely.
[CROW CAWING]
[CROW CAWING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Tonight'’s the night.
Tonight'’s what night?
CALLY: The night you go back
to The House of Soul
and make Johnny Domino
fall in love with you.
LILLY: You'’re crazy.
Sister Agnes will never
let me stay out that late.
Forget about Sister Agnes.
You'’re beyond her rules now.
I don'’t have anything
to wear anyway.
I have the perfect dress
for you to borrow.
[TAPS ON TABLE]
SISTER AGNES: Attention, class!
It seems as though
our new student,
Miss White,
doesn'’t know about
our cheating policy.
SISTER AGNES: Lilly...
Did you know
our policy?LILLY: No, Sister.
Ignorance of the rules
is no excuse.
However,
since this is
your first offense,
I'’ll simply fail you
on this test.
But let this be
a warning to you.
Yes, Sister.
I will not tolerate corruption,
or incompetence...
But Sister Agnes,
it was my fault!
Nor will I tolerate
insubordination.

[DOOR OPENS]
Special delivery
from the office
of the diocese, father.
Oh...
Thank you, Joseph.
Uh, God bless you.
Goodnight, Joseph.
I knew it.
I knew it!
[DOOR OPENS]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, God.
[FATHER TIMOTHY SCREAMING][SQUISHING]
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
Water, please.
LILLY: Buy me a drink, sailor.
Lilly, uh...
So, what does a girl have to do
to get noticed around here?
Um...
That'’s a nice dress.
[CHUCKLING]
What are you doing here?
Well, you said that we should
see each other again,
so, here I am. See.
And a strawberry
daiquiri, please.
Virgin.
[CHUCKLING] That'’s a little
presumptuous, isn'’t it?
Lilly...
You'’re a sweet girl.
And you'’re gonna be
a beautiful woman
someday.
But you'’re sixteen, and...
I'’m not.
What does age have
to do with anything?
Are you afraid of going
to jail or something?
BRIONY: Did I miss the show?
No, no. You remember Lilly?
Uh, sure.
Wow, nice dress.
Thanks.
So, how did you manage to get
the nun'’s permission to
let you stay out so late?
What is she,
a truant officer?
Uh, actually, I'’m a cop.
And this club is 21 and over.
LILLY: So, what are you
gonna do, arrest me?
BRIONY: I just came
for the music.
JOHNNY: Uh...
Please, we'’re all
friends here.
I don'’t want your rose.
I want you!
Lilly, um...
What we want,
and what we need
are different things.
Let her go, John.
She'’s embarrassed.
I better make sure
she gets home safe.
[LOW GROWLING]
[CRACKLING]
[LILLY SOBBING]
Lilly!
Stop!Just leave me alone!
[ENGINE REVVING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Johnny, watch out!
[GROANING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Let me go, you psycho!
MAN: It'’s not nice
to call people names,
especially when they have
a knife against your throat.
You don'’t have a knife
against my throat.
LILLY: What do you want from me?
MAN: But first...
I'’ll be taking this.
No!
[ELECTRONIC DISTORTED SOUNDS]
MAN: I'’ve worked a long time
for this, little girl.
Nothing is going
to stop me now!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[GLASS SHATTERING]
[GRUNTS]
[THUDS]
JOHNNY: I'’m not going
to hurt you.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[OPENS DOOR]
[GASPING]
Sister!
SISTER AGNES: Miss White.
Before you say anything
I just want to say
that you were right.
I broke curfew
and it was wrong.
And rules are meant
to protect me
and I know that now.
And I'’ll never
disobey you again.
SISTER AGNES: Well...
It seems as though you'’ve
already learned your lesson.
I have. I have.
However,
you put the reputation
of this school in
serious jeopardy.
Flagrantly flaunting yourself,
cavorting with
immoral people.
Strutting into a saloon...
Like the whore of Babylon.
LILLY: How do you know that?
Oh, that'’s not important.
[DOOR OPENS]
"The whore of Babylon?"
Damn sure, they'’re
giving it to her.
Cally, this is all our fault.
I think it'’s time
we have a talk
with Father Michael.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Come on.
LILLY: I thought we were going
to see Father Michael?
We are.
[CREAKING]
[DOOR RUMBLING]
After you, my dear.
[BEEPS]
RALEIGH: From what I can tell,
Father Michael was telling
the truth.
The Catholic church
didn'’t know who
the mother was.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Stop the press!
What?
Guess who first petitioned
for adoption back in Ireland?
Father Michael.
I knew he was
holding something back.
Looks like he'’s holding
a lot back.
I am coming across some
very interesting information
about your priest friend.
MORGAN: I'’m not going.
We have to.
Lilly'’s our sister.
A member of our coven.
We can'’t let her go
through this alone.
What if they found out
she'’s a witch?
[GASPING] No!
Let go.
[GRUNTING]
Joseph, please see that
Father Michael gets that
immediately.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
They'’ll think
we'’re witches too.
We are.
No, we'’re not.
We'’re pretend witches.
Has one of our spells
ever worked?
Ever?
Lilly'’s the one
with all the powers.
She can handle it.
We got her into this mess.
And we are gonna
get her out of it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah.
You got an ID on this floater?
All right, turn him over.
BRIONY: A priest.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
SISTER AGNES: Ah, here we are!
All right. What are
we looking for now?
Personnel files from
the local diocese on
Father Michael.
[BEEPING]
What the...
Check out the official
photo ID for him?
[BEEPING]
JOHNNY: If that'’s
Father Michael,
then who'’s the guy we met?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Father Michael?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
FATHER MICHAEL: Oh, my Lilly.
I'’ve been making such
wonderful plans for you
for such a long time.
Let me go.
I won'’t tell anyone.
Just please let me go.
This is your new home, darling.
Yes.
And isn'’t it...
Cozy?
[LAUGHTER]
You can just feel
the history of this place.
Please, Father Michael.
Oh, I'’m not really
Father Michael.
No, no, no, no, no.
I became him when he, uh,
tried to kill me.
He died...
Slowly.
CALLY: We have to do something.
Plenty of time to
tell me all about you.
Last queen of the druids.
Daughter of Airmed,
daughter of Dagda
the great Horned-God.
God, you'’re crazy!
I told you...
It'’s not nice to be
calling people names,
especially when they have
a knife against your throat.
LILLY: You don'’t have...A knife against your throat?
[LAUGHTER]
Fear becomes you, my dear.
They'’re going to kill her.
No, they'’re not.
Not if we can stop them.
You go for help, anyone,
it doesn'’t matter.
I'’ll try to figure
something out.
Okay.
[WHISPERING] What if they
get you too?
Just go.
MORGAN: Somebody! Some...
MORGAN: Can anybody help us!
[SCREAMS]
Whats the problem?Oh, please don'’t hurt me!
I'’m not gonna hurt you.
I'’m here to help Lilly.
Where is she?
Would you like to know
a secret, Lilly?
Huh?
I, uh...
[CHUCKLES]
I killed your parents.
[LAUGHTER]
The Whites, the Reeses,
the Snyders...
And, oh, yes...
BOTH: The O'’Learys.
Why?
For you, my queen.
So you would know
the dark side.
And I have waited,
patiently,
for so long just...
Waiting...
For you to recognize
your own power!
I thought that, maybe,
I could share in that power.
That if I wore the medallion
after you'’d activated it,
that that power
would be mine!
But I was wrong.
The medallion has no power.
The power
is in
you.
You will use your power for us.
Your brother and sister
of the craft.
What makes you think I wouldn'’t
use it against you even
if I did have it?
Because you and your little
friends took an oath
to defend us with your life.
Lest your own powers
be used against you.
FATHER MICHAEL: If you won'’t
co-operate with us,
you'’ll just have to spend
the rest of your life
down here.
[CHUCKLING]
Until the day you do
decide to help willingly.
And you will.
Until then,
I have another plan.
You remember,
during you'’re, uh,
rest...
[CHUCKLING]
The doctors kept
giving you drugs
and hypnotizing you to
help you remember things.
What were the words they used
to put you to sleep, Lilly?
I know someone will find me.
I know they will.
Nobody knows
this place exists, darling.
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
I do.
And others are coming.
That
was a mistake!
Lilly...
My favorite group
is Bobby Grape.
[CHUCKLING] Oh...
Thank you, Father Michael!
What are you doing to her?
Lilly...
Someone wants to hurt you
and she'’s right over there.
You'’ll have to stop her.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPS]
CALLY: Stop!
JOHNNY: Father Michael...
You'’ve changed.
Joseph!

Ooh, that'’s got to hurt.
CALLY: No one leaves
after curfew!
[SCREAMING]
SISTER AGNES: Someone,
let me out!
Please, please help me!
Oh, shut up!
[LAUGHTER] Yeah!
JOHNNY: Now...
You got any more tricks?
Just one last trick.
If you'’ll indulge me.
[RUMBLING]
CALLY: What'’s happening?
[RUMBLING]
[LAUGHTER]
[IN DEEP VOICE] Who has dared
summon the master?
It was I.
My Lord Dagda...
Your ever faithful servant.
FATHER MICHAEL:
I have enemies here
I wish you to destroy.
They threaten
your daughter'’s life.
He'’s lying!
DAGDA: Silence!
Only she could have
summoned me here,
yet you wear her token?
That'’s right.
Your poor daughter is, uh,
ill...
FATHER MICHAEL:
So I wear the token.
And I'’ve taken over as
king of the druids.
DAGDA: Ah, then I am
your servant.
How would you like me
to dispose of them, my liege?
[CHUCKLING]
Uh, you choose.
But, uh...
The more painful the better.
CALLY: No, he'’s the bad one.
DAGDA: I suppose I could
charge them with
the wrath of hell,
or perhaps just
turn them inside out.
[CHUCKLING]
Anything you choose,
fine by me.
I think the wrath of hell.
[FIRE ROARING]
The medallion was a token of
my affection for her mother.
Not an amulet
of power and ruin.
DAGDA: Only a fool thinks
he can command the gods.
Only the king of fools
would dare take captive
the daughter of a God!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHIMING]
Do you know who I am, child?
My father.
You mortals think because
I have horns and red skin,
that I am, what you call, evil.
Evil exists in the human mind.
Please...
Have mercy.
If my daughter wishes it.
Yes, spare him.
[SIGHS IN RELIEF]DARDA: Very well.
But I will leave with him
the fear he gave to you.
[LOUD CRACKING]
[GASPING]
[GASPING]
And you...
Night Man.
He came to my rescue.
DAGDA: I have heard tell
of your friend.
Keep your vigilance
and watch over her.
Can I go with you to my mother?
MORGAN: No, you can'’t go.
We'’re like sisters.
Your place is here.
Your mother is here.
She'’s all around you.
Whenever you feel
the wind blow your hair,
or caress your cheek,
it is her expressing
her love for you.
I'’ll make sure
she'’s looked after.
There you see...
Everything is right
with the world because
someone like you
is keeping harmony.
I must go.
LILLY: I love you, Daddy.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
DAGDA: I love you too.
DAGDA: And Night Man
shall be your protector.

Our guests
will be here shortly.
You don'’t want them
to find you
clacking like little mice.
[DOOR OPENS]
[STUDENT CHUCKLING]
Class...
I want you to meet
our new student.
This is Lilly White.
She'’ll be joining your class
and boarding with you.
So, please,
make her feel welcome.
STUDENTS: Hello, Lilly.
Hi.
FATHER: Now, uh...
Go find a seat...
And after class you can
check out your room and unpack.
[CROW CAWING]
[STUDENTS GIGGLING]
You can sit next to us.
LILLY: Thanks.
I'’m Cally
and this is Morgan.
MORGAN: Hi.LILLY: Hi.
Don'’t worry about
the snob squad.
When they were born,
they got attitude
instead of feelings.
Ah, my guests have arrived.
Thank you for
showing them, Joseph.
JOHNNY: Sorry we'’re late.
Oh, yeah.
Traffic was a bit,
uh, bad.
Um... Traffic was very bad.
Well, I don'’t think we could
have kept them detained
much longer.
They really seem eager
to learn about jazz.
That'’s great.
Hi.Hello.
Hi, I'’m Johnny Domino,
and this is Raleigh Jordan.
Hey.
JOHNNY: I'’m here to talk
to you about jazz.
And Raleigh'’s gonna help out
by letting you hear
what I'’m talking about.
JOHNNY: We hope you'’ll get
a better understanding
of what makes jazz,
jazz.
And, uh, it beats way
through chemistry.
I like the way
through his chemistry.
JOHNNY: There'’s one important
difference between, let'’s say,
classical music and jazz.
With classical...
The music is more important
than the performance.
But with Jazz, it'’s the music
and the performance that
makes it special.
Whats that?
JOHNNY: First time I heard
a jazz tune, I was hooked...
Can I see it?
JOHNNY: The more I listened
the more I learned.
The important thing to
playing any instrument is...
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
JOHNNY: ...is to relax
and have fun.
So how many of you play
musical instruments?
GIRL: I do.
GIRL: Ahem.Girl 2: I do not.
Good.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
No! My parents.
[DOOR OPENS]
SISTER: Remember, Lilly,
supper is promptly at 5:30.
You are required to
attend all masses
and school activities.
You may not put
anything on your walls
without Father Michael'’s
or my approval.
You will observe strict
personal hygiene at all times.
And there is no music
allowed after supper.
Any questions, Lilly?
No, Sister.
Yes, Father?Welcome, child.
Uh... Welcome.
CALLY: So, what do you think
of Father Timothy?
He teaches classics.
Latin, Greek...
He'’s a little bit
eccentric, but...
MORGAN: Totally whacked,
is more like it.
We heard Aggie laying
down the law to you.
Don'’t let her get to you.
I'’m used to rules.
You know, what they said
about you being
in a funny farm?
Yeah, but I didn'’t expect it
to get around until
at least the second day.
CALLY: You'’re wearing
a pentagram?
Is that why they put you away?
Or did they, like,
think you'’re in league
with Lucifer or something?
Or did they try to
exorcise the evil spirits?
No, but I really don'’t want
to talk about it.
CALLY: Sorry.
We didn'’t mean to pry.
We don'’t even believe in
Lucifer, or Satan,
or the devil.
CALLY: We believe in...
The Goddess.
LILLY: Excuse me?
MORGAN: You know...
The Goddess.
The personification of deity.
MORGAN: Our universal mother?
Wicca?
Wicca.
So, you'’re witches?
We thought you might be
sympathetic to the cause
seeing as how you'’re
wearing a pentagram.
Look, I hate to burst
your bubble, but,
I'’ve had this
ever since I was born.
I think my mother
may have given it to me.
Whoever she is...
Wherever she is.
MORGAN: Oh...
Uh, so you'’re like an orphan?
Well, that'’s okay.
You can hang with us.
You can join our coven.
CALLY: Morgan, technically,
we do not have a coven.
You need at least three
withches to make a coven.
Yeah, well,
she can be our third.
So, come on, what do you say?
Thanks, but no thanks.
CALLY: We could teach you
to do love spells.
I saw the way you were
looking at Johnny Domino.
What if you could make him
fall in love with you?
Look, I know that
you both mean well, but...
Really...
I am not interested.
Oh, how do you know
if you don'’t even try?
No!
[CLANKING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
FATHER MICHAEL: Lilly White.
A name that
contradicts her past.
JOHNNY: Why, what'’s her story?
She was abandoned as a baby.
A construction worker
found her lying in a forest
in Southern Ireland.
An American family,
the Whites, adopted her,
took her to their home
in Ohio.
They died, tragically,
soon after.
She was placed
with foster family
after foster family,
and tragedy always seemed
to follow her.
Poor Lilly reached her
breaking point a year ago
when her last set of
foster parents died
in a fire.
And fearing she would
do harm to herself,
she was
sent away for some rest.
You mean committed
to a mental institution?
Yes.
Now we'’re trying to
provide her with a caring
and stable environment, but...
Re-building trust and hope
in a person
that'’s had their whole life
continually ripped apart
is quite a challenge.
Her music
is the only true
consistency in her life.
She'’s quite
a talented pianist.
Well, if there'’s anything
I can do to help...
There just might be.
We have a mentor program here,
and she is interested
in music as a profession.
[EXHALES] You could
teach her about what you do,
show her where your work,
or just listen.
If you'’re up
for the challenge.
Sure.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
That was good.
What else do you know?
[PLAYING THE BLUES]
Now that was great.
Thank you.
Uh... You bounced around
the country so much...
How do you find time
to practice?
I just do it.
It'’s the only thing I have
any real control over.
[EXHALES]
And this is my medallion.
Whoa... You wear
this all the time?
It'’s so heavy.
Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[SCREAMING]
Hey, John.
JOHNNY: Oh... Uh, hey, Briony.
Picking up strays again?
I gave up on wild things,
and found a man
I can depend on.
Meet, Charlie. Mwah.
Ooh, I get it.
Something you can train.
Well, you can train a man too,
but who has that kind of time.
[DOG WHINING]
Oh, uh, Lilly, this is, uh,
Briony, and, uh...
Charlie.
BRIONY: Hi.
Oh, hey, don'’t stop
because of me.
LILLY: I have to get back.
Sister Agnes is really
strict about curfew.
Mmm. I remember
what that was like.
How old are you? Fifteen?
Sixteen.
[DOG WHINING]
LILLY: Could we do this again?
Sure, anytime.
[LILLY CHUCKLING] Really?
Thank you.
See you later.Bye.
Hey...
Mwah.
Somebody has a crush on you.
Yeah, I know.
Dogs love me.
CALLY: You have passed the test.
Are you ready to swear
fealty to the craft?
LILLY: I am.
CALLY: Then pronounce now
the oath of the dedicant
as I have told you.
I, Lilly White,
in the presence of
the almighty ones,
do freely and solemnly swear,
that I will ever be true
to the craft.
That I shall follow the rule
to the best of my ability,
that I won'’t reveal
the secrets of the craft.
That I shall help,
protect, and defend
my sisters and brothers
of the craft.
This, I swear on my life.
And may my tools be
turned against me
if I break this.
My solemn oath.
I know you with wine.
I know you with my lips.
Now, take this chalice...
And silently chant
the magical words
as you drink.
Echo, echo...
Echo, echo...
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you all right?
LILLY: Yeah, I guess so.
Oh, that was totally freaky.
Haven'’t you ever wondered
where that came from?
Of course I'’ve wondered.
CALLY: I mean...
Morgan and I have been
doing this for almost two years.
And I'’ve never seen
anything like that.
MORGAN: What if you'’re
the real thing?
What do you mean?
Have you ever tried
any spells or anything?
No.
See that spoon on the desk?
Try moving it
by using just your mind.
LILLY: Right,
so I'’ll just use the force?
Uh, come on.
Try it.
I dare you.
Ooh, I guess that
I have to do it then?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[EXHALES]
[RATTLING AND RUMBLING]
[CHUCKLING]
I'’m doing it!
[CHUCKLING] I'’m doing it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
How is this possible?
[EXHALES]
There'’s something
so sad about her.
As if she'’s out of place.
If we could find out
where she came from,
who her mother was or is,
we can figure out
where she belongs.
Let me work on it.
Yeah, I'’m going to talk
to Father Michael again.
I'’ll be...
You'’re right.
The Church did try
to take charge of the infant.
But only because there was
no Irish family willing
to adopt her.
There are a lot of
superstitious folks in
that part of the world, and...
A baby left abandoned
in a haunted forest was
too much for them, I suppose.
Haunted forest?
I visited there once.
Didn'’t seem, uh,
haunted to me.
But the locals are
scared to death of the place.
It has something to do
with an old
Celtic legend.
You know, Father Timothy
is something of an expert,
if you are interested?
Yes, I am.
Well, I'’m sure he's retired
for the night, but, uh...
Come back tomorrow,
if you like?
Okay, thanks.
Oh, and Mister Domino...
I give you fair warning...
He might talk your leg off.
Thank you.
[SLOW MUSIC PLAYING]
Ah, come on.
[EXHALES]
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER]
[GASPS]
What'’s happening?
We'’re floating up.
Jut think happy thoughts.
[LAUGHTER]
[ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING]
[GASPS]
[LAUGHTER]
I'’ve never felt so free.
[LAUGHTER]
[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]
FATHER TIMOTHY: The myth
of the enchanted forest
comes to us mainly
from Celtic sources.
Briefly put, it goes
something like this...
Now, all of their druid nobility
was extinct except for one,
a beautiful queen named Airmed.
But the witches tricked her.
They convinced her
to mate with Dagda,
the great-horned God.
Now, you'’ll have to picture
him as seven-feet tall
with reddish skin,
all leathery-like...
JOHNNY: A real looker, huh?FATHER TIMOTHY: Indeed.
FATHER TIMOTHY: Must have had
a grand personality.
Be that as it may,
the queen gave birth
to a little girl,
a beautiful baby.
The witches tried to claim her,
but the queen hid her
inside of a tree.
One of the very same trees
in the little forest
where Lilly was found.
So, none of the locals
wanted to adopt her
because they thought
she was some kind of
evil druid princess?
Precisely.
[CROW CAWING]
[CROW CAWING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Tonight'’s the night.
Tonight'’s what night?
CALLY: The night you go back
to The House of Soul
and make Johnny Domino
fall in love with you.
LILLY: You'’re crazy.
Sister Agnes will never
let me stay out that late.
Forget about Sister Agnes.
You'’re beyond her rules now.
I don'’t have anything
to wear anyway.
I have the perfect dress
for you to borrow.
[TAPS ON TABLE]
SISTER AGNES: Attention, class!
It seems as though
our new student,
Miss White,
doesn'’t know about
our cheating policy.
SISTER AGNES: Lilly...
Did you know
our policy?LILLY: No, Sister.
Ignorance of the rules
is no excuse.
However,
since this is
your first offense,
I'’ll simply fail you
on this test.
But let this be
a warning to you.
Yes, Sister.
I will not tolerate corruption,
or incompetence...
But Sister Agnes,
it was my fault!
Nor will I tolerate
insubordination.

to get noticed around here?
Um...
That'’s a nice dress.

What are you doing here?
Well, you said that we should
see each other again,
so, here I am. See.
And a strawberry
daiquiri, please.
Virgin.
[CHUCKLING] That'’s a little
presumptuous, isn'’t it?
Lilly...
You'’re a sweet girl.
And you'’re gonna be
a beautiful woman
someday.
But you'’re sixteen, and...
I'’m not.
What does age have
to do with anything?
Are you afraid of going
to jail or something?
BRIONY: Did I miss the show?
No, no. You remember Lilly?
Uh, sure.
Wow, nice dress.
Thanks.
So, how did you manage to get
the nun'’s permission to
let you stay out so late?
What is she,
a truant officer?
Uh, actually, I'’m a cop.
And this club is 21 and over.
LILLY: So, what are you
gonna do, arrest me?
BRIONY: I just came
for the music.
JOHNNY: Uh...
Please, we'’re all
friends here.
I don'’t want your rose.
I want you!

What we want,
and what we need
are different things.
Let her go, John.

I better make sure
she gets home safe.

Sister!
SISTER AGNES: Miss White.
Before you say anything
I just want to say
that you were right.
I broke curfew
and it was wrong.
And rules are meant
to protect me
and I know that now.
And I'’ll never
disobey you again.
SISTER AGNES: Well...
It seems as though you'’ve
already learned your lesson.
I have. I have.
However,
you put the reputation
of this school in
serious jeopardy.
Flagrantly flaunting yourself,
cavorting with
immoral people.
Strutting into a saloon...
Like the whore of Babylon.
LILLY: How do you know that?
Oh, that'’s not important.
[DOOR OPENS]
"The whore of Babylon?"
Damn sure, they'’re
giving it to her.
Cally, this is all our fault.
I think it'’s time
we have a talk
with Father Michael.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Come on.
LILLY: I thought we were going
to see Father Michael?
We are.
[CREAKING]
[DOOR RUMBLING]
After you, my dear.
[BEEPS]
RALEIGH: From what I can tell,
Father Michael was telling
the truth.
The Catholic church
didn'’t know who
the mother was.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Stop the press!
What?
Guess who first petitioned
for adoption back in Ireland?
Father Michael.
I knew he was
holding something back.
Looks like he'’s holding
a lot back.
I am coming across some
very interesting information
about your priest friend.
MORGAN: I'’m not going.
We have to.
Lilly'’s our sister.
A member of our coven.
We can'’t let her go
through this alone.
What if they found out
she'’s a witch?
[GASPING] No!
Let go.
[GRUNTING]
Joseph, please see that
Father Michael gets that
immediately.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
They'’ll think
we'’re witches too.
We are.
No, we'’re not.
We'’re pretend witches.
Has one of our spells
ever worked?
Ever?
Lilly'’s the one
with all the powers.
She can handle it.
We got her into this mess.
And we are gonna
get her out of it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah.
You got an ID on this floater?
All right, turn him over.
BRIONY: A priest.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
SISTER AGNES: Ah, here we are!
All right. What are
we looking for now?
Personnel files from
the local diocese on
Father Michael.
[BEEPING]
What the...
Check out the official
photo ID for him?
[BEEPING]
JOHNNY: If that'’s
Father Michael,
then who'’s the guy we met?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Father Michael?
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
FATHER MICHAEL: Oh, my Lilly.
I'’ve been making such
wonderful plans for you
for such a long time.
Let me go.
I won'’t tell anyone.
Just please let me go.
This is your new home, darling.
Yes.
And isn'’t it...
Cozy?
[LAUGHTER]
You can just feel
the history of this place.
Please, Father Michael.
Oh, I'’m not really
Father Michael.
No, no, no, no, no.
I became him when he, uh,
tried to kill me.
He died...
Slowly.
CALLY: We have to do something.
Plenty of time to
tell me all about you.
Last queen of the druids.
Daughter of Airmed,
daughter of Dagda
the great Horned-God.
God, you'’re crazy!
I told you...
It'’s not nice to be
calling people names,
especially when they have
a knife against your throat.
LILLY: You don'’t have...A knife against your throat?
[LAUGHTER]
Fear becomes you, my dear.
They'’re going to kill her.
No, they'’re not.
Not if we can stop them.
You go for help, anyone,
it doesn'’t matter.
I'’ll try to figure
something out.
Okay.
[WHISPERING] What if they
get you too?
Just go.
MORGAN: Somebody! Some...
MORGAN: Can anybody help us!
[SCREAMS]
Whats the problem?Oh, please don'’t hurt me!
I'’m not gonna hurt you.
I'’m here to help Lilly.
Where is she?
Would you like to know
a secret, Lilly?
Huh?
I, uh...
[CHUCKLES]
I killed your parents.
[LAUGHTER]
The Whites, the Reeses,
the Snyders...
And, oh, yes...
BOTH: The O'’Learys.
Why?
For you, my queen.
So you would know
the dark side.
And I have waited,
patiently,
for so long just...
Waiting...
For you to recognize
your own power!
I thought that, maybe,
I could share in that power.
That if I wore the medallion
after you'’d activated it,
that that power
would be mine!
But I was wrong.
The medallion has no power.
The power
is in
you.
You will use your power for us.
Your brother and sister
of the craft.
What makes you think I wouldn'’t
use it against you even
if I did have it?
Because you and your little
friends took an oath
to defend us with your life.
Lest your own powers
be used against you.
FATHER MICHAEL: If you won'’t
co-operate with us,
you'’ll just have to spend
the rest of your life
down here.
[CHUCKLING]
Until the day you do
decide to help willingly.
And you will.
Until then,
I have another plan.
You remember,
during you'’re, uh,
rest...
[CHUCKLING]
The doctors kept
giving you drugs
and hypnotizing you to
help you remember things.
What were the words they used
to put you to sleep, Lilly?
I know someone will find me.
I know they will.
Nobody knows
this place exists, darling.
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
I do.
And others are coming.
That
was a mistake!
Lilly...
My favorite group
is Bobby Grape.
[CHUCKLING] Oh...
Thank you, Father Michael!
What are you doing to her?
Lilly...
Someone wants to hurt you
and she'’s right over there.
You'’ll have to stop her.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

JOHNNY: Now...
You got any more tricks?
Just one last trick.
If you'’ll indulge me.
[RUMBLING]
CALLY: What'’s happening?
[RUMBLING]
[LAUGHTER]
[IN DEEP VOICE] Who has dared
summon the master?
It was I.
My Lord Dagda...
Your ever faithful servant.
FATHER MICHAEL:
I have enemies here
I wish you to destroy.
They threaten
your daughter'’s life.
He'’s lying!
DAGDA: Silence!
Only she could have
summoned me here,
yet you wear her token?
That'’s right.
Your poor daughter is, uh,
ill...
FATHER MICHAEL:
So I wear the token.
And I'’ve taken over as
king of the druids.
DAGDA: Ah, then I am
your servant.
How would you like me
to dispose of them, my liege?
[CHUCKLING]
Uh, you choose.
But, uh...
The more painful the better.
CALLY: No, he'’s the bad one.
DAGDA: I suppose I could
charge them with
the wrath of hell,
or perhaps just
turn them inside out.
[CHUCKLING]
Anything you choose,
fine by me.
I think the wrath of hell.
[FIRE ROARING]
The medallion was a token of
my affection for her mother.
Not an amulet
of power and ruin.
DAGDA: Only a fool thinks
he can command the gods.
Only the king of fools
would dare take captive
the daughter of a God!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHIMING]
Do you know who I am, child?
My father.
You mortals think because
I have horns and red skin,
that I am, what you call, evil.
Evil exists in the human mind.
Please...
Have mercy.
If my daughter wishes it.
Yes, spare him.
[SIGHS IN RELIEF]DARDA: Very well.
But I will leave with him
the fear he gave to you.
[LOUD CRACKING]

And you...
Night Man.

DAGDA: I have heard tell
of your friend.
Keep your vigilance
and watch over her.
Can I go with you to my mother?
MORGAN: No, you can'’t go.
We'’re like sisters.
Your place is here.
Your mother is here.
She'’s all around you.
Whenever you feel
the wind blow your hair,
or caress your cheek,
it is her expressing
her love for you.
I'’ll make sure
she'’s looked after.
There you see...
Everything is right
with the world because
someone like you
is keeping harmony.
I must go.
LILLY: I love you, Daddy.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
DAGDA: I love you too.
DAGDA: And Night Man
shall be your protector.
