New England Present Day
Mom.
Crux, Crux!
Crux!
WITCH HUNT
Amendment XI
"No person may practice witchcraft in the United States of America."
Girls.
All right, gentlemen and ladies.
Class is almost over.
Whoa, whoa, not so fast.
You all have an essay due at the end of the week,
and since we are studying the Bill of Rights,
each of you will be required
to write me a three page paper on one of the amendments
and how it is being reflected in current society today.
So, pick a number from my magic bowl
and that's what you're stuck with.
Okay?
You can pick a current event, a court case, a more modern law.
I'm gonna be kinda lenient on how do you want to do this,
so feel free to mix it up.
If you have any questions,
you can see me before or after class.
Lucky.
She's got the Eleventh Amendment. That is so easy.
Ooh, witchcraft.
I got freedom of speech.
- Freeze! - Stop right there!
- Let me see your hands! - What are you guys watching?
Some witch trying to cross the border.
Get on the ground!
What'd they shoot her with?
Salt.
So should I sprinkle salt on her?
How funny is that?
That's funny.
Well, salt supposedly repels magic,
but that's for witches, not bitches.
Slut.
Someone's salty.
You guys broke up three months ago.
I know, thank you.
That's what I meant, what does he see in her?
She probably puts out.
Oh, shut up, Sofie.
Whatever, it's not like I'm gonna have to see her face
after Prop Six passes.
You really think it's gonna pass?
Yeah, definitely.
And then all those red headed freaks will be locked up too.
That's what you should write about for your essay,
Prop Six.
I could come over after school
and we could write our essays together,
and I could bring that weird, healthy popcorn my mom makes...
Actually, I can't do that today, but.
Sorry.
No, fine.
- Whatever. - Okay.
- Oh, okay. - Bye.
- Bye.
Mom?
Boys?
Hello?
What are you doing in my room?
Seriously, I thought my mom told you to stay in the walls.
And the blinds were open.
What are you doing?
Claire, we're home!
I'm gonna get you so hard!
- Tag! - Oh, hey, that's not fair.
Yes, I got you fair and square.
Corey, George, out.
Put your new toothbrushes in your bathroom please.
Thank you.
Mom, that witch was in my room again.
Yeah, Jacob's coming for her tonight.
He's early.
No, wait.
We have a system.
You wait for him in here.
Jacob.
Good afternoon.
I didn't think you were stopping by until tonight.
I'm ahead of schedule today.
Thank you.
There's a jug in the pantry waiting for recycling.
Just crouch down.
Got it!
Lovely day, ladies.
- Drive safely. - Always do.
Keep quiet.
Evening, officer.
Evening.
Can I help you?
Can you please step out of the vehicle, sir?
You gonna need my registration?
No.
Can you please open the back of your truck, sir?
Yes, sir.
You are Jacob Gordon, correct?
Yes, sir.
There's nothing in that thing that shouldn't be there,
is there?
No, sir.
So you wouldn't mind if I searched it then?
I would mind.
It's my property.
Okay.
I hate liars.
You smoke?
No.
Neither do I.
Hey, sweetheart. I didn't know you were still up.
Yeah, I was just doing homework.
Mom.
We need to stop.
If we stick to the rules, it's a safe system.
It's not just that.
We can't be risking our lives for them.
Them?
Yes.
And, why?
They're criminals.
These women don't have a choice, Claire.
They're born with their powers.
They choose to use them.
Is that what they're teaching you at school?
Or is it those girls you've been hanging out with?
What is her name, Jane?
For the last time, her name is Jen.
And maybe if you let me be a normal teenager
and have my friends over to the house,
you wouldn't be asking questions.
Your friends can come over to the house.
No, they can't!
Because I have to lie.
Everything outside of this is a lie.
Everything I do in this world is for you.
You can't just say that
every time my opinion differs from yours.
Why did we have to move out here after dad died?
How was that for me?
I didn't want to uproot my whole entire life.
You did that to me.
How was that for me?
Okay, calm down.
Don't let your emotions get the best of you.
- Do you need your inhaler? - I'm fine, I'm fine.
Breathe.
Who is that?
Oh hi, sorry, I didn't think you could hear me.
No.
Pantry.
- Okay, fantastic. - Sure.
All righty.
And when will these expire?
Tomorrow, tomorrow morning.
And for you.
All right, thank you.
Hello.
I'm Martha.
And this is my daughter, Claire.
Fiona.
This is my sister, Shae.
Okay.
Girls, I'm gonna take you up the side stairs
and show you where you'll be staying tonight.
Okay?
I hope this will do.
Yeah, of course.
Shae.
Thank you, Martha.
You're so kind to open your home to us.
Two knocks for safe.
One for not safe.
Okay.
Night.
Crux!
Shae.
I'm so sorry to wake you, um?
Claire.
Claire, my sister, Shae, she sometimes goes,
she sleepwalks.
It's okay.
Shae, it's okay.
It's okay.
She's burning.
- No, no, no, no, no, no. - She's burning.
This is a nightmare.
See me?
Sorry. Come on, let's go to bed.
Oh, wait, no.
Guests first, guests first.
Oh no, it's fine.
- Oh, okay. - Yes!
Okay.
George?
Good morning.
Is Jacob coming this morning?
He is.
Oh, okay, hey, listen.
Be safe.
I love you. Have fun at school.
Claire, do you have your inhaler?
Yes.
Okay, raised by wolves.
I'll make you some fresh pancakes.
I'm sorry.
Is he coming?
Perhaps not today.
Hey, do you guys want to see something cool?
I have no idea when it was built, but it is something.
Ready?
There is a whole nother house behind the wall.
- Shae, stop, Shae. - It's okay.
She'll be fine.
The whole thing just loops around.
She'll probably have fun in there.
Why don't we leave the door open for her, okay?
I'm gonna attempt to make some tea.
This is such an old house, I swear.
Now, the stove isn't working.
I haven't heard her laugh like that in a long time.
Since our mom.
I've missed that.
Hello?
Why do you help people like us?
It's a complicated question.
Shae?
Shae, are you okay?
Shae?
Shae!
You okay?
Is she trapped?
She shouldn't be. The passageways are wide.
Shae!
Shae?
Fiona?
Oh my god. Are you okay?
- Yeah. - Are you okay?
Oh my god.
Let's go upstairs.
Mrs. Denny said that there weren't gonna be
any logarithmic functions on the exam.
And guess what? Logarithmic functions.
Stop talking about math. We don't have to talk about math.
What is that?
Border patrol?
I think so.
Holy shit, I think those are witches.
Are you sure?
Yeah, they probably got caught trying to cross to Mexico.
Eyes forward.
- Are you okay? - Inhaler, inhaler.
My inhaler.
Okay, boys, like we talked about.
Girls, in the wall.
Come on.
Calmly and quietly.
It'll all be fine.
Martha, good afternoon!
Cynthia, hi.
I accidentally made two batches.
Wow, lucky me.
- It looks amazing. - Yeah.
I'm so sorry, I can't have you come in.
The boys just started their homework.
Well...
Cynthia, are you all right?
I'm just...
- I heard something alarming today. - Yes? What did you hear?
They caught somebody from our town
transporting witches across the border.
- Well. - Yeah.
Well, I can't say that I'm surprised.
There are a lot of untrustworthy, un-American people around here.
I know.
And frankly, I'm appalled
that the government hasn't made the wall higher.
I mean, they're getting over somehow.
I don't understand why the Mexican government
is giving them asylum.
They're not refugees. They're criminals.
Yes, criminals.
But you know, other countries, their laws aren't as reasonable as ours.
I mean, Cynthia, I believe that we can count on our government
to keep us safe.
I hope.
Thank you so much.
- Oh, nothing. - Smells like heaven.
I'm gonna cut it up and give it to the boys as a treat after they're done.
- Bye. - Bye.
My family was killed in a car crash,
and the other driver was the daughter of a convicted witch.
She shouldn't have been driving at all.
Under Prop Six, she wouldn't have a license.
So, vote yes on Prop Six
and keep our streets safe
from anyone with magic in their blood.
No magic is good magic.
Crux, Crux!
Claire?
Oh, Jesus.
Hey, hey, hey, you're just dreaming.
You're just dreaming.
Look at me, look at me.
Breathe.
Breathe in, out, in, out.
You're just dreaming.
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
There you go. Out, in.
Out, good.
It was just a dream.
Totally.
Shae's sleepwalking must be rubbing off on you.
Here.
Drink up, it'll help you sleep.
Sorry.
Sorry, that was...
What's that?
Mm.
It's just a,
it's a book on astrology I found.
Looking for a constellation,
but can't find any information on it, so.
- A constellation? - Yeah.
My mom won't shut up about it.
She wouldn't, you know, she wouldn't shut up about it.
Our dead, they don't really leave us.
We're all connected.
That too.
Sorry if I'm being weird.
You know, I think growing up the way I did,
I don't really get to do a lot of normal things, so.
Yeah.
This situation hasn't really
afforded me the easiest life either.
Where are you from?
Well, I'm from new England originally,
but then once Shae was born and my dad left,
then we just started like moving around a lot.
Out of sight, of course.
My mom did a good job
up until that witch hunter got her.
Idem.
Wait. You guys have the wrong backpacks on again.
This is yours.
I mean, it has your names on them.
It happens every time.
- The same colors. - It's the exact same.
Okay.
Sorry, let me get that.
We're gonna be late.
We're not gonna be late!
Oh, Martha.
I was just stepping out for lunch.
Did you need something from inside?
I can pop back in.
Oh no.
Emily, I was actually just looking to speak with you.
Walk me to my car.
Jacob, unfortunately, has not been into work these past two days.
I'm sure he's fine.
Was that all?
- Yes. - Okay.
I got you.
- Tag. - I got...
Can I play?
No.
You can't play with us.
- I play with George. - I play with Corey.
Sorry, I was finishing my essay.
Where's Sofie and Megan?
Late, per usual.
Probably making out.
ID please.
Sorry, miss, can't let you in.
What do you mean?
I saw a movie here last week and it was fine.
New policy.
Peyton, what the heck?
- Come on. - Sorry, Kelly, I just can't.
What do you mean, you can't?
It's just a movie and I've wanted to see this restoration for months.
Kelly, I can't. Your name is on the list.
What list?
The BWI issued a new list.
What?
That list is for witches.
Did you forget your wallet?
I've never done magic.
My inhaler.
You know I'm not a witch.
And so I can't even see a movie?
Did you see that?
Hi.
Sorry, did I scare you?
No, it's fine.
What? What's this?
Oh, it's nothing.
I got it forever...
What?
I just wanted to tell you I found the Southern Cross,
the constellation I was telling you about.
Turn your light off.
Look.
Right above the wall like straight ahead.
What am I looking for exactly?
Four stars in the shape of a T.
I don't see anything.
Just to the right.
Oh, it looks like a cross.
Mm-hmm, a Southern Cross.
A Crux.
Crux.
Your mom said you went to a movie.
What was it like?
It was a remaster of "Thelma & Louise."
What's that?
You don't know what "Thelma & Louise" is?
I don't know if you know,
I spent most of my life in the dark.
Well, Thelma is a sheltered housewife.
Louise is her best friend.
She works as a waitress at a diner.
They go on this really big road trip
and they end up at a bar.
You've been to a bar, right?
No.
No, you've never been, you've never been to a bar?
So at this point,
they can either go back and go to jail
or they could just keep driving.
So basically, they just end up driving the car
off the cliff to the canyon.
Yeah.
And they die?
Maybe.
What do you mean maybe?
Well, maybe they do, maybe they don't.
The film kinds of ends in a freeze frame
of a car going over the cliff.
Why?
I don't know. Hope, maybe.
But it's assumed that they die?
Maybe.
Maybe they use magic to fly off the cliff.
That's why it was censored. Hence the freeze frame ending.
I haven't I really thought about it like that.
They were witches.
Have you ever made anything fly?
I told you, I don't have the gene very strongly.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
You want to try?
What?
Do you want to try it?
Just try it.
No one's watching.
But I don't have the gene, so I wouldn't be able...
Forget about that.
Focus on something happy, something good.
Don't over think it.
Here, I got it...
- Fiona... - I'm sorry.
- What? - I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - No, it's not.
I just want to be like any other girl.
But no, I'm not allowed that.
Did you see the way that they looked at me?
How am I supposed to control something
that I'm not even allowed to practice?
And why does it have to be bad?
I'm not bad.
I'm not bad!
I know.
I'm so sorry.
Corey, George, stop fighting!
It's way too early for this!
Good morning.
- Sorry, hi. - Hi, is your husband in?
I don't have a husband.
Oh, sorry.
Eric Goude, I have here.
Deceased.
Deceased, okay.
All right then.
I own the property.
How can I help you?
My name is Detective Hawthorne.
I'm with the federal branch of the BWI.
- The Bureau of... - Witchcraft Investigations, I'm familiar.
I've been dispatched to follow up on reports
of suspicious activity in your area.
What kind of activity?
A report of potential witchcraft at a bar
a few miles away from here.
Oh, well, what did she look like?
The witch, in case I...
Oh, late teens, red hair, long.
No, I haven't seen anyone like that.
- Excuse me. - Sure.
Your home is unusually low.
Low?
Low pressure.
May I come in?
Of course.
My forebearers were all witch hunters.
I know, it's a terrible term.
I hate it, it's like so archaic.
But anyway, they were, and they used their ears, right?
And people have said, well, they have a sense,
but actually, they were using science.
You see, they were actually... they could feel the drop of pressure
that occurs when magic is used
or when a witch enacts her powers, you know?
Sir, or Detective Hawthorne,
I assure you there are no witches here.
Oh, I'm sure there's not, but magic lingers.
It stays in these kind of pressure pockets.
You mind if I look around?
That's fine.
Please be brief. My kids are here.
- No, of course, I'll be brief. - Okay.
Mom.
You okay?
Detective? That's quite enough, this is my daughter's room.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave. You do not have a warrant.
Not yet.
Tell me you weren't that stupid.
- For how long? - Just for a little bit.
Till things calm down.
All girls grades nine through 12 report to the gymnasium for prick testing.
You're free to go. No witch marks.
Thank you.
Here you go, girls.
I know it's not ideal, but I think we should keep you girls in the walls
for a couple more days to be safe.
How was school today?
Good.
All the girls had testing, so we got longer recess.
Yeah, they prick tested us.
I'm gonna need my most recent sink test certification.
- Come on, mom. - Eat it.
Stop.
I have a copy of your sink certificate in the drawer.
Witches don't sink.
Do you float?
Stop it, Corey.
You know very well those tests are nonsense.
Can you find a piece there?
We just need that piece and then we can beat it.
I have a sword.
Can't find like any pieces.
Mom?
Hey, it's just me.
It's okay. I think mom blew a fuse.
What you guys doing?
Playing.
You know, one of these days,
I think you should let Shae play with you.
We are.
Are you?
Yeah, even though she's a witch.
George.
Just try and be nice.
Like mom says.
- Goodnight, Corey. - Goodnight, Claire.
- Goodnight, George. - Goodnight, Claire.
I found the Southern Cross.
Claire, stop!
Claire, Claire, just step back.
Step back. Step away from the edge, Claire.
Oh my God!
Claire.
Honey, baby, stop!
Claire!
Please!
- Claire, this is not real! - Wake up, baby, wake up!
- Claire! - Wake up, wake up, baby!
Claire!
Girls.
Are you okay?
Inside, inside.
Okay, baby, come on.
Inside.
- Martha, please. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I have to keep you safe.
I'm sorry. Inside please, I'm sorry.
Mom, we can't just keep them in the walls.
We should move them to the barn.
We can and we will.
But first, we have to figure out what Cynthia saw or did.
So you go to school like normal,
the boys stay with me, and the girls stay in the wall.
Claire, Claire!
Come on, we're gonna miss it.
- Miss what? - Come on, come on.
What's going on?
They're making the four girls with witches marks do the sink test again.
What?
Here we go.
I'm so glad we don't have to do this again.
Barely remember mine.
I almost passed out, I was so nervous.
This test is so boring.
No one ever floats.
Not that you've seen.
My sister said that in New Hampshire,
an entire grade of girls floated to the top.
Got sent to the camp on the spot.
Well, your sister is a pathological liar.
Time!
Pull 'em out.
Reel 'em up, let's go.
Well, that was a bust.
Holy shit.
I cannot believe that just happened.
Yeah, that was Amy Schoeler.
She gets like panic attacks.
She probably freaked out under there.
Then why would she submit to the test?
Can't she be medically examined?
Yeah, but I mean,
it doesn't make you look so good.
Yeah, fast tracks you to a camp,
which she probably would ended up in anyway.
She was so strange.
Jen, a girl just fucking died.
Yeah, but, she chose to.
Did she?
Forget it.
Mom?
Corey, George?
Fiona?
Fiona, Shae?
Claire?
Corey.
Corey?
What the heck?
Shae.
- Shae. - You're just like them.
You're right, Shae.
She is just like all of them.
Fiona, Fiona, what's going on?
Where's my mom, where are the twins?
He took them in for questioning.
Who?
That witch hunter, Hawthorne.
They didn't get you?
We were in the barn.
I came up here to get the butterfly
so that no one would find magic in your room
and found this.
That was just an assignment for school.
Yeah, one that you chose to write about.
According to you,
children of convicted witches
should be closely monitored due to their genetic link
to the ability to practice witchcraft.
I don't believe in any of that.
- I wrote that report... - Bullshit!
I'm a person.
I'm a person just like you.
He's back.
You guys, inside.
Hello, Claire.
I must apologize to you for the way my officers have treated your home,
but you can't be too careful, can you?
Especially after such a fantastical account by your neighbor.
Well, we need to start cleaning this place up.
Again, my apologies,
but this is my job to stop hysteria and uphold the law.
It's him.
He killed mom.
You guys had nothing to hide.
Or do you?
Always witches.
Detective?
It's not you.
Stay behind me.
And it's not the boys, of course,
which means it's you.
Claire, get over here.
- Claire. - Don't do this.
I've been doing this for a long time, Claire.
So then you should know that being a witch is not a crime.
And that all magic is not bad.
There's good magic too.
Yes, but the act of witchcraft is a crime, Claire.
You're a government official.
Claire.
You're just gonna shoot us?
I'm gonna count to five,
and at the end, I'm gonna pull the trigger.
All you gotta do is one little act of witchcraft, okay?
Empty the chamber, knock the gun out of my hand,
push me back. I don't care what it is.
And if I don't?
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
Go, go, go, go, go!
- You are staying with me. - Unlock this door.
Claire!
Sit.
They ran up the stairs, the witch.
Where is it?!
Fiona, Shae?
Fiona!
Shae!
Shae, Shae.
Shae, Shae, Shae, Shae.
I need you to breathe.
- Claire, just go! - No!
Claire, come on.
Okay, do you have your inhaler?
Okay, darling, okay.
Okay, hey.
Breathe.
Okay, okay, okay.
Fiona, could you watch the kids for a minute?
I need to talk to Claire.
Claire?
Claire, I'm sorry. I'd hoped that it would skip you.
- You've known this whole time. - No.
Your father's side. I thought it was a possibility.
When your dad passed away,
I moved us here to be part of something bigger,
but also so that you could cross over if you ever needed to.
I thought that I could keep you safe and I can't.
Your dad's family, they're kind,
and they're good, and they are extraordinarily gifted,
just like you.
They live south of the border.
I'm sorry I kept them from you.
They'll be so happy to see you, but I...
You're not coming?
I can't.
Only witches can cross.
- Ready? - Yeah.
