01x02 - On the Other Side

[bunniefuu]

[ Indistinct whispering ]

WOMAN: And relax.

[ Groans ]

What...

Oh, my God,
it is so good to see you.

Though I wish it was
under better circumstances.

¿Que? Como?

How is this even happening?

You -- You died.

I remember you died
in that car accident with Papi.

I was...I was 14.

You know, that was a, um...

That was a terrible
final memory.

Dime.

I've never seen Mami
so devastated.

Though she hated
when Papi let us visit you.

She thought being around you
would make us g*y.

Make you g*y.

[ Laughter ]

Am I dreaming?

This feels so real.

OPHELIA: It is real, baby.

I don't think I know you two,
do I?

Mona, what was the last thing
that you remember?

Um...

we were doing a spell
for Jordan,

and I felt like

I was in some kind of trance.

Wisdom, power, magick spun!

Through the many to the one!

I don't -- I don't really know.

Oh, sweetie, it's alright,
we're here to help.

I'm sorry, who are you?

How are you in mi casa?

Actually, this is our house.

I'm Asha.

This is Ophelia.

You don't know us,
but we're your Guides.

♪ Hey, hey

♪ Hey, hey, hey

TIO MARIO: You're dead.

♪ Hey, hey, hey

♪ Wicked, wicked

♪ Are we

♪ Wicked, wicked, wicked

♪ Are we in a wicked city?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This can't be right.

Call 911!

Why -- How did this even happen?

Yo, we have to call Tabitha.

What? No, Sherise!

Tabitha didn't even
want me to do

the amplification spell
in the first place.

Jordan, Mona is dead,

and you're worried about getting
in trouble with Tabitha?

Yo, someone call 911!

And tell them what, Camille?

That our friend died
in a magick spell?

They'll think we k*lled her
and they'll arrest us all.

We did k*ll her!
Make the damn call

and maybe they'll get here fast
enough so they can save her.

Camille, you just said it.

We k*lled her.

With magick.

And there ain't nothing you or I
or any doctor can do about it.

You gotta stop this, girl.

Let her go.

No. No, no, no.
Camille, Camille,

why are you stopping?

Camille!

CAMILLE: She's right, Angela.

Mona is gone.

[ Crying ] No.

I'm so sorry.

Friend, I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

How did I know that, thought?

I felt this.

But why?

I k*lled her! I...

[ Crying ]

Wait, wait, I-I-I can fix this.

I know how to bring her back!

Come on.

[ Crying ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

No, no, that doesn't make sense.

This is a dream
or a nightmare.

A quirky nightmare.

She's doing better
than I thought she would.

It's okay, darling.
Keep breathing.

Keep breathing?
No, start talking!

What the f*ck is going on here?!

-Language!
-Mona, you and your friends

were messing with a power
that's too big for you.

Too big and too dangerous.

A power none of you know about.

What does that mean?

[ Speaks Spanish ]
It was an amplification spell.

Ha! If only.

Asha, hush.

Mona, dear, that new friend
of yours, Camille?

[ Laughs ] Whew!

She has got a lot of power,

but not a damn clue
what to do with it.

Dangerous power.

Dangerous?

The spell you did caused
a strong surge of power,

and you essentially
short-circuited.

Like when you blow the power
out of a building.

You're that building, mami.

So now, dear, you're dead.

[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Darletra, be a dear

and remove your brother's body.

He doesn't exactly go
with the ritual decor.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

I've seen the spell.

Girl, please tell me you not

talking about
a resurrection spell.

That's exactly
what I'm talking about.

Wait, wait, wait, she serious?

There's really a spell that can
bring people back from the dead?

Unfortunately, yes.

And it could be very dangerous.

I know I seen it somewhere.

It think it was like a --
a brown book, black book.

Angela, what the --

I don't think
this is a good idea.

This is a terrible idea.

Look, even if
you found the spell,

we ain't got the kind of power.

And it's dangerous
if we f*ck it up.

Sherise, please!

Mona died because of something
I begged her to do!

I can't lose her.

We got to at least try.

Look, Mona was my friend too.

But you don't know
what you'll be bringing back.

Wait, what do you mean?

You think Mona's there
by herself?

There's other people
and entities and spirits.

All things that don't belong
in this world.

Any of them
can come through with her.

Yo, this is crazy.
Guys, we can't --

Thank you, Camille!
Someone sees sense.

Y'all hear that?

Hear what?

Nothing, nothing, never mind.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Dang it. Where is this book?

Hey, did you find out
anything about Kendria Sullivan?

Well, cause of death?

A single stab wound
to the abdomen.

So what are they thinking?
Are they thinking premeditated?

No?

What, was it a home invasion
gone wrong?

Oh.

Was there anything unusual
about the crime scene?

Uh-huh.

Well, how about the body?

Was there anything unusual
or strange?

Okay, nothing. Alright.

Well, thanks, Q.

It pays to have friends
in high places.

Alright. Bye.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Okay, look,
everything came up clean.

So whoever did this
really covered their tracks,

which means we may never know
who found her or why.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I'm dead!

No, no, no, no, no.

I take it back, Ophelia.

She's not handling this so well.

And you were just a beacon
of acceptance when you died?

Mona, dear, you should sit down.

-I need some air!
-We have much to tell you.

ASHA: Ooh, I would advise you
not to do that.

I can't breathe!

Okay, your choice.

Sobrina, sobrina.

[ Gasps ]

Mona, dear, please, you're --
you're disrupting our calm.

Doing good.
Deep breaths in and out.

In and out.

Mona, listen.
We don't have a lot of time.

If magick k*lled me,
can't magick send me back?

Can you send me back?

No one here can do that.

But your friends are trying.

This is it!

This is the book.

Jordan, you really need to stop.

Okay.

You don't want to do this.

Stop what you're doing.

Close the book.

There's...

something...

There's nothing you need.

Close the book.

Let. Her. Go!

Yo, what the f*ck, Sherise!

Stop trying to influence me!

Look, you may have more power

and experience
than the rest of us,

but you can't manipulate people
when you don't get your way.

It's not about
me getting my way.

This is dangerous.

What if you bring back
something that ain't Mona?

Here it is!

Look, look, Sherise,
we can do this.

I have Mona's powers.

Between us and Camille,
we can actually do this.

-Please.
-Yes.

Wait, wait, wait.
Where is Camille?

JORDAN: She has to be close.

I can still feel her.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

CAMILLE: Hello?

Who's there?

WHISPERS: Camille. Save her.

Camille, you can save her.

You must save her.

Save her...

Pomegranate seeds!
That's perfect, Angela.

No, it's not perfect, Angela.

Look, my entire Nigerian
mother's side of the family

has been doing magick
since before sl*very.

And we don't even
do death magick.

It's forbidden.

Tabitha warned us about
breaking magickal rules.

And you're about to
break a big one.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-It's worth it.
-It's worth it.

So, I can go back?

Yes, but resurrection spells
are very dangerous.

Why?

Is something going
to happen to me?

Am I going to come back...
wrong?

When the dark meets the light,

a change comes
that causes sacrifice.

ASHA: Death knocks twice,

taking the soul of the one
everyone is looking for.

What are you talking about?

Nothing you're saying
is making sense.

Mira,listen --
There are certain things

that we can't directly
speak about here.

It's -- It's not allowed.

Not allowed by who?

It doesn't matter.

That's just the way it is,
darling.

We try, but it comes out
in riddles.

Y'all, we can't do the spell
without Mona.

We ain't got that much juice.

I mean, look, it took five of us
to k*ll her.

Four of us ain't about to
bring her back.

Except I have Mona's powers now.

And I can make a potion that
will enhance our natural powers.

It won't last long,
but it'll open us up

to a stronger flow
so that her spirit can return.

Everything I need
is downstairs in the shop.

JORDAN: Come on.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Girl, what the f*ck
are you doing?

We have to try.

They're right.
We can't do this without you.

You got to be kidding me.

Sherise, I love her.

Please.

She died because of me.

I can't fix this without you.

Let me see this damn spell.

Alright.
I'll be back in a jiffy!

I know you are out there.

Show me where you are.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

You need help with anything?

No.

I do these all the time.
It's pretty simple.

Does your family do magick too?

No.

I've had a way with plants
since I was a teen.

I didn't even know it was magick
until Tabitha taught me.

Been practicing ever since.

Can you go get
five pomegranate seeds for me?

Yeah.

[ Somber music plays ]

Thank you.

You really care for her,
don't you?

She's everything.

I've known her forever.

It took her a long time
to open up to be something more.

Oh, you're together.

We're...

involved.

No labels, but...

there's definitely
something special here.

I've never loved anyone
the way I love her.

[ Breathes shakily ]

The way you guys care
for each other...

you're lucky.

I don't really have people
like that.

You will.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Sanguine sacrificii.

Sanguine sacrificii.

Sanguine sacrificii.

Alright.

We're ready.

We are too.

We're gonna need our blood.

Since we used our blood
in the spell that k*lled her,

we're gonna need it again
to bring her back.

Yes, and add it to this.

Wait, aren't we
gonna drink that?

This is our best option.

The blood will connect us.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

We need Mona's blood too.

Yes, okay.

Alright.

Okay.

Alright.

Bottoms up.

Um, is this is safe?

Girl, we're about to bring
somebody back from the dead

and you're worried about
if Angela's tea is safe?

She has advanced degrees
in botany and chemistry.

She actually knows
what she's doing.

[ Breathes deeply ]

When your friends try
to take you back,

it's your choice
whether to go or to stay.

I'm not ready to die.

No one ever is.

But returning back
to the living,

it poses its own challenges.

OPHELIA:
Death will follow you back.

And unto your friends
danger shall --

Look, I already know that
you're gonna go back,

so let's just cut to it.

Please listen carefully.

The white will frighten
but the black will destroy.

And the red will burn it all.

The mother's debt
becomes the child's

and on swift wings
the bill comes due.

The strength of the few
will punish the fallen

and a true evil
will reveal itself.

Remember these warnings,
sobrina,when you return.

But they don't make sense!

TIO MARIO: They don't now,
but they will.

But you have to suss them out
on your own.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

JORDAN: Okay, okay.

Taker of life,
from light to dark,

accept our offering
to renew and repair.

A life that was taken
unjust and unfair.

Tenebrae veniunt

et tenebrae cadentes

viam mihi monstrant

veneficae quae

in praeterito usu fuit.

Taker of life,
from light to dark,

accept our offering
to renew and repair,

a life that was taken
unjust and unfair.

Oh!

Taker of life,
from light to dark,

accept our offering
to renew and repair,

a life that was taken
unjust --

TIO MARIO: [ Clears throat ]

It's -- It's almost time.

And I know magick
is in our blood.

But that's not --
that's not everything.

Love who you love and let God
figure everything else out.

Listen, she will come around.

I promise you.

She just a little stubborn
right now.

[ Chuckles ]

I love you, I love you,
I love you.

So proud of you.

Taker of life,
from light to dark,

accept our offering
to renew and repair,

a life that was taken
unjust and unfair.

Usu fuit.

Usu fuit.

Usu fuit.

Usu fuit.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Your friendships are key.

There's strength in your
numbers, all five of you.

Work together.

Mona,

keep that cross on at all times.

Your faith will protect you.

Now, try to relax.

[ Gasps ]

Ohh!

Did you --

Did you feel that?

Did you feel that?

That's...

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, that is...

oh, death magick.

Mona, Mona? Is that you?

Are you okay?

Of course.

Who else would it be?

[ Breathing heavily ]

That was f*cking crazy.

Oh, my God, don't ever
leave us like that again.

New plan.

Put this on ice. We'll --

We'll need it later.

We're not gonna finish
the ritual?

No.

We have a better way
of getting what we need.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

-Okay, wait.
-MONA: I'm good.

We got you.

JORDAN: Okay.

Camille, you good?

That was the craziest sh*t
I've seen in my life.

I --

I can't be here.

Wait.

When I was on the other side,

I met my guides.

They told me a lot of sh*t
I didn't understand but...

Camille, they said you have
a lot of power.

Dangerous power.

It's basically what k*lled me.

-The f*ck?
-Me?

They also said we're in danger.

Of what?

I don't know,
but I think somehow,

bringing me back
put us all in danger.

Well, maybe she's what
we're in danger of.

Camille, who the f*ck are you?

Me?
I just met y'all tonight,

and so far the only danger
I've been in is from you.

It's not her.

I never should have
came to Atlanta.

Yes, b*tch, please leave.

It's not her!

They told me the five of us
will have to work together

to fight what's coming.

It's coming for all of us.

I know you are out there.

Show me where you are.

Come on.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Really?

That's how you gonna
come up in here,

up in my house
after I invited you here?

The disrespect.

[ Groans, choking ]

-Let me go!
-You know,

I may not be on
The Council anymore,

but my power
will always exceed your own.

Now, you want to tell me why
you chose violence today?

[ Coughs ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

I had orders on my way
into town.

What kind of orders?

Orders to come to Atlanta.

They already thought I was here.

The Council,
they detected a disruption.

Powerful magick.

All you had to do
was keep her away from magick.

I was scrying for her

until you decided to
break down my damn door.

Now, come here.
I got to show you something.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The pendulum landed right here.

That's Mystic Haven.

I think they're all
together upstairs.

Well, whatever they did,

it definitely got
The Council's attention.

Which means it'll certainly
get Claudette's.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Mm.

After I harness
this death magick,

I'm coming for you first!

Burn.

Burn!

Hey.

I, um, found this on the floor
while I was cleaning up.

-How are you?
-[ Chuckles ]

I died and came back to life,
so...

A little weird.

I just -- I feel different.

I can't explain.

No Angela?

[ Chuckles ]

I told her to go home
and get some rest.

I just want to --
I want to be alone right now.

Look,

I am so happy that you're okay.

God, I don't --

I am so, so sorry.

Look, I never meant for any of
this to happen to you, I --

I know.

Thank you for bringing me
back to life.

I mean, did you at least
get some magick out of it?

I did. But kind of used it up
in the resurrection spell.

Sorry, mija.

[ Sighs ]

Look, I just really need
to get some rest.

Right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Sighs ]
