Mom.

[flames crackling]

[woman moaning]

[chains rattling]

Crux, Crux!

Crux, Crux!

Crux!

[flames crackling]

[woman screaming]

Crux!

[pensive ambient music]

[students giggling]

[students laughing]

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,

mm-hmm,

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.

[Female Speaker]

Ooh, witchcraft.

[Female Speaker] [sighing]

I got freedom of speech.

[inhaler hissing]

[locker clanging]

Hey.

[Officer] Hey, hey!

- Freeze!

- Stop right there!

- Let me see your hands!

- What are you guys watching?

[Megan] Some witch

trying to cross the border.

Get on the ground!

[g*nf*re blasting]

What'd they sh**t her with?

Salt.

So should I

sprinkle salt on her?

- [laughing]

- How funny is that?

That's funny.

Well, salt supposedly

repels magic,

but that's for

witches, not b*tches.

sl*t.

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.

[bell ringing]

Sorry.

No, fine.

- Whatever.

- Okay.

- Oh, okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.

[faint chattering]

[pensive ambient music]

[people chattering]

Mom?

Boys?

Hello?

[computer chiming]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[footsteps pattering]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[footsteps pattering]

[eerie ambient music]

[door squeaking]

Hello?

[eerie ambient music]

[intense orchestral music]

[Claire gasping]

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?

[wings twinkling]

[speaking in foreign language]

[Martha] Claire, we're home!

[portal whooshing]

[boys giggling]

[footsteps pattering]

I'm gonna get you so hard!

[boys giggling]

- Tag!

- Oh, hey, that's not fair.

Yes, I got you

fair and square.

[boys giggling]

[footsteps pattering]

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.

[knocking on door]

He's early.

[knocking on wall]

No, wait.

We have a system.

You wait for him in here.

Jacob.

[Jacob] Good afternoon.

[Martha] I didn't think

you were stopping

by until tonight.

[Jacob] 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.

[siren blaring]

Keep quiet.

[eerie ambient music]

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.

[watch ticking]

[Officer] 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.

[intense ambient music]

I hate liars.

You smoke?

No.

Neither do I.

[trunk door creaking]

[gasoline sloshing]

[intense ambient music]

[flames crackling]

[Gina screaming]

[knocking on door]

[Martha] 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.

[Martha] Is that what

they're teaching you at school?

What?

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.

[Martha] 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.

[Martha] Breathe.

[Claire] Who is that?

[knocking on door]

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.

[knocking on wall]

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.

[wings twinkling]

[flames crackling]

[woman screaming]

Crux!

[Claire coughing]

[inhaler hissing]

[Claire panting]

[eerie ambient music]

[door thudding]

[intense orchestral music]

[Claire yelling]

Shae.

I'm so sorry to wake you, um?

Claire.

Claire, my sister,

Shae, she sometimes goes,

she sleepwalks.

It's okay.

Hey, hey.

Shae, it's okay.

It's okay.

[Fiona shushing]

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.

[Fiona singing]

[pensive ambient music]

[food sizzling]

[dishes clattering]

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.

[horn blaring]

Oh, okay, hey, listen.

[clapping] Be safe.

I love you.

Have fun at school.

Claire, do you

have your inhaler?

Yes.

[Martha] Okay,

raised by wolves.

I'll make you some

fresh pancakes.

[pensive orchestral music]

[smoke billowing]

[flames crackling]

[Martha gasping]

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] Whoa.

- 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.

[Shae giggling]

[Martha] This is such

an old house, I swear.

Now, the stove isn't working.

[Shae giggling]

I haven't heard her laugh

like that in a long time.

Since our mom.

[Shae giggling]

I've missed that.

[faint whispering]

Hello?

[lights buzzing]

Why do you help

people like us?

It's a complicated question.

[faint whispering]

[arm creaking]

[Shae screaming]

Shae?

[Shae screaming]

Shae?

Shae?

Shae, are you okay?

Shae?

Shae!

You okay?

Is she trapped?

She shouldn't be.

The passageways are wide.

Shae!

[flames rushing]

[kettle whistling]

Shae?

Fiona?

Oh my god.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you okay?

Oh my god.

Let's go upstairs.

[high pitched squealing]

Mrs. Denny said that

there weren't gonna be

any logarithmic

functions on the exam.

And guess what?

- Logarithmic functions.

- Logarithmic functions.

Stop talking about math.

We don't have to

talk about math.

[people screaming]

What is that?

[Female Speaker]

Border patrol?

[Female Speaker] I think so.

[Female Speaker] Holy sh*t,

I think those are witches.

[Female Speaker] Are you sure?

Yeah, they probably got caught

trying to cross to Mexico.

[eerie ambient music]

[faint whispering]

Eyes forward.

[Claire panting]

[Officer coughing]

- Are you okay?

- Inhaler, inhaler.

[woman spitting]

My inhaler.

[inhaler hissing]

[g*nf*re blasting]

[clock ticking]

[figurines clattering]

[Fiona humming]

[doorbell chiming]

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.

Oh.

The boys just

started their homework.

[Cynthia] Well...

Cynthia, are you all right?

I'm just...

Well actually, 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.

[Cynthia] Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

[pensive ambient music]

[tires squealing]

[crashing]

My family was

k*lled 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.

[keyboard keys clacking]

[flames crackling]

Crux, Crux!

Crux, Crux!

[loud shushing]

[intense ambient music]

[clock ticking]

[eerie ambient music]

[clock chiming]

[Claire panting]

[intense orchestral music]

[Claire screaming]

[faint shushing]

[Claire panting]

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.

[faint chattering]

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.

[Claire] 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.

[Fiona] 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.

[pensive ambient music]

Idem.

[Fiona humming]

Wait, wait, 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!

[Fiona humming]

[propellors whirring]

[engine rumbling]

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.

Oh.

- Walk me to my car.

- Mm-hmm.

Jacob, unfortunately,

has not been into work

these past two days.

I'm sure he's fine.

Was that all?

Yes.

Okay.

[loud hushing]

[footsteps pattering]

[boys giggling]

I got you.

I got you.

Tag.

I got!

Can I play?

[boys giggling]

[Corey] No.

You can't play with us.

I play with George.

I play with Corey.

[boys giggling]

[pensive ambient music]

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.

[Kelly] 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?

[Claire coughing]

It's just a movie

and I've wanted to see this

restoration for months.

Come on.

[Peyton] Kelly, I can't.

Your name is on the list.

What list?

[Claire coughing]

The BWI issued a new list.

What?

That list is for witches.

- Did you forget your wallet?

- I'm not a witch.

I've never done magic.

[Claire] My inhaler.

[Claire coughing]

You know I'm not a witch.

And so I can't even see a movie?

[glass shattering]

Did you see that?

[knocking on door]

Hi.

[Fiona] 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?

[Fiona] Four stars

in the shape of a T.

[Claire] I don't see anything.

[Fiona] Just to the right.

[Claire] 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."

[Fiona] 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.

[Fiona] 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.

[Female Speaker] 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.

[Claire chuckling]

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.

Oh.

Sorry.

[pensive ambient music]

[water sloshing]

I'm sorry.

You want to try?

What?

Do you want to try it?

Just try it.

Just try it.

No one's watching.

But I don't have the gene,

so I wouldn't be able...

[Fiona shushing]

Forget about that.

Focus on something

happy, something good.

Don't over think it.

[Claire sighing]

[people chattering]

[pensive ambient music]

Here, I got it...

[loud crashing]

[electricity buzzing]

[creaking]

[faint chattering]

[stools crashing]

- Fiona...

- I'm sorry.

What?

[Fiona] 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.

[flames crackling]

[intense ambient music]

[woman screaming]

[birds chirping]

[doorbell chiming]

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.

Oh.

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.

[knocking on wall]

[suspenseful orchestral music]

[watch ticking]

Hey!

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.

[watch ticking]

Not yet.

[intense orchestral music]

[knocking on wall]

Tell me you weren't that stupid.

For how long?

Just for a little bit.

Til things calm down.

[locker door clanging]

[PA system chiming]

[Male Speaker] All girls

grades nine through 12

report to the gymnasium

for prick testing.

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.

[Corey] Witches don't sink.

Do you float?

[Martha] 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.

[sighing] I have a sword.

Can't find like any pieces.

[electricity clicking]

[faint whispering]

[intense ambient music]

Mom?

Mom?

Hey, [shushing] 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.

[toilet flushing]

[loud hushing]

[pensive ambient music]

[Fiona] I found

the Southern Cross.

[pensive ambient music]

[speaking in foreign language]

Claire, stop!

[intense orchestral music]

Claire, Claire,

just step back.

Step back.

Step away from the edge, Claire.

Oh my god.

Claire.

Honey, baby, stop!

Claire!

Claire!

[Martha] Please!

[faint whispering]

- Claire, this is not real!

- Wake up, baby, wake up!

- Claire!

- Wake up, wake up, baby!

[intense dissonant music]

Claire!

Girls.

Girls.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Inside, inside.

Okay, baby, come on.

Inside.

[birds chirping]

[pensive ambient music]

- Martha, please.

- I'm sorry.

- Please.

- 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?

[suspenseful orchestral music]

[Sofie] 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.

[water splashing]

[Megan] This

test is so boring.

No one ever floats.

[Jen] 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.

[water splashing]

[Male Speaker] Time!

Pull 'em out.

[student coughing]

Reel 'em up, let's go.

[Megan] Well, that was a bust.

[intense orchestral music]

[woman screaming]

[Sofie] Holy sh*t.

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 f*cking died.

Yeah, but, she chose to.

Did she?

Forget it.

[pensive ambient music]

[crickets chirping]

Mom?

[suspenseful ambient music]

[loud shushing]

Mom?

Corey, George?

Fiona?

Fiona, Shae?

[door slamming]

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.

[Claire] 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.

[suspenseful ambient music]

[Martha] 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 k*lled mom.

You guys had nothing to hide.

[intense ambient music]

[watch ticking]

Or do you?

[g*n c*ck]

Always witches.

Detective?

It's not you.

[Martha] Stay behind me.

And it's not the

boys, of course,

which means it's you.

[Martha] 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.

[Martha] Claire.

You're just gonna sh**t 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 g*n out of my hand,

push me back.

I don't care what it is.

And if I don't?

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

[girls giggling]

Go, go, go, go, go!

[Claire screaming]

- You are staying with me.

- Unlock this door.

Claire!

Sit.

They ran up the

stairs, the witch.

Where is it?!

[door creaking]

[watch ticking]

[intense orchestral music]

[Detective Hawthorne groaning]

Fiona, Shae?

Fiona!

Shae!

[watch ticking]

[loud whispering]

[intense orchestral music]

[flames crackling]

- [Shae coughing]

- Shae, Shae.

Shae, Shae, Shae, Shae.

I need you to breathe.

[flames crackling]

[arm crackling]

[intense orchestral music]

[Claire coughing]

- Claire, just go!

- No!

[Claire coughing]

Claire, come on.

Okay, do you have your inhaler?

Okay, darling, okay.

[Martha shushing]

[Claire coughing]

Okay, hey.

[Claire panting]

Okay.

Breathe.

Okay, okay, okay.

[wall cracking]

[Claire panting]

[fire crackling]

[coughing]

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.

[somber orchestral music]

- Ready?

- Yeah.

[engine revving]

[tires squealing]

When men come with

their eyes of fire

Follow the Southern Cross

When hope is gone

Don't fear the path

But follow the

Southern Cross

The roses grow

beneath the mud

Crux awaits

The winds, they blow

Just follow the

Southern Cross

Follow the Southern Cross

[pensive ambient music]
