Alright, baby.

Call 9-1-1. I'm gonna call
an ambulance, okay?

It's too late, it's too late.

CAMILLE: What do you mean
it's too late?

What do you mean?

You're in danger.

Danger from who?
From who?!

I don't understand, Mama.
What happened?

You have to...

Go to Euclid and Austin...

-What?
-...in Atlanta, Georgia.

In Atlanta? Mom?

And find Caden, okay?

I don't understand.
I don't understand.

I don't understand. What else --

-But you will.
-Why?

-You will.

SHERISE: You're welcome.

f*ck him up with this one.

Damn, Sherise, you
really been workin', huh?

What's this, like your third
bachelor party in two weeks?

Ah. Try fifth. [ Chuckles ]

I mean, you know,
what can I say?

They like the way I move.

Why? You keeping tabs on me?

Nah. See, I got
my own life to deal with.

Plus, I got to go ahead
and get ready for a date myself.

A date? With who?

Why? You keeping tabs on me?

Ah. Very funny.

But I don't care about you
or your ugly a*s dates.

Because I'm gonna be
taking these n*gg*s

for everything that
they got tonight.

-Alright.
-Have fun.

[ Door opens, closes ]

[ Gasps, laughs

[ Moaning ]

You want more?

Yes!

Oh, yes! Ah!

[ Moans ]

Ang, I'm 'bout to
head out to work.

Lend me some of that good
juju you got.

Don't you knock?

Mona, girl, you ain't nothin'
I never seen before.

Ang, come on.

Are you for real?

One second, babe.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Magickally enhanced.

Guaranteed for a good time.

-How much?
-$500.

$25 a pop.

Girl, always got the good stuff.

Y'all can go back to what
y'all was doing now.

Alright, hurry.

[ Music playing ]

[ Laughs ]

Okay.

Light and fire flow through me,
heat this water for my tea.

[ Sighs ] Nothing?

-Jordan!
-[ Gasps ]

I'm sorry!
I was trying to heat my tea.

Transference of energy,
like you taught me.

Girl, you better
top breaking my mugs

and use that
electric tea kettle.

-Or...
-No.

No, no, no, no,
we are not going through this.

Come on, Tabitha, you're
supposed to be my mentor.

If you would just look
at my spell,

you could tell me
what's missing.

Jordan, you've got to stop this.

Now, every witch has
her innate power.

But, sweetheart,
this is not yours.

Yeah, I know.
I can sense power.

Yes, you can, and that's why you
are the best anyone

that I've mentored
at divination.

Do you know how many people
come into this shop

wishing they had even
a fraction of your magick?

People are walkin' in
the streets,

they have no idea what we can do
or if magick is even real.

But you, you have the ability to
sense magick and energy.

Now, that's real power.

But you don't appreciate it.

-But Tabitha --
-No but Tabitha nothing.

Now, with magick, there are
rules that you have to abide by.

And you know this.

Girl, if you don't start
respecting your power,

it's gonna burn you.

-But Tabitha --
-Tabitha nothing.

Get out there and close the shop
and stock the shelves, please.

Girl, go.

-Girl, get out of here.
-[ Sighs ]

Go work. Earn your keep.

That girl's gonna be
the death of me.

[ Engine starts ]

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

Wait a minute.

Oh, I got it.

Yes!

Oh, Mona! You're here.
Come look at this.

Girl, what are you
working on this week?

Oh, come on, come on, look.

I think I finally
worked out a spell

that will increase my magick.

Not this again.
Jordan, you're obsessing.

Easy for you to say.

Look, you're the one
to have real magick.

All I can do is just sense it.

And you think that's nothing?

Go ahead.

[ Sighs ]

Page of cups.

I'm at the beginning of my
journey, and I'm impatient.

I already have power,
and I'm just trying to rush

my way forward instead of
letting things unfold in time.

That's exactly
what Tabitha just said.

Nail. On. The head.

Mija, we all learned from
Tabitha, but none of us

will ever be able
to do that like you.

Besides, Angela and Sherise
outstrip both of us,

and you don't see me obsessing.

I barely even practice.

[ Laughs ]

Girl, why are you so pressed
about this?

I'm tired of feeling like can't
carry my weight in the coven,

Look, I know if I just
have a little bit more magick,

I can be more useful.

Alright, show me the spell.

What magick are you
petitioning for?

Okay. Anything.

Anything that the spirits
see fits to give me.

Okay.

Well, it looks all right to me.

I mean, you might have to run
this by Sherise, though.

She might have a better option.

Either way, we're gonna
need a lot of power,

like the whole coven,
or it won't work.

Thank you so much!

Look, this really --
this really means a lot to me.

-[ Cellphone rings ]
-I know.

Hang on.

Alright, I'm gonna get
a quick study sesh in.

I'm this close to graduating,

and then I quit bartending
at The Cornerstone.

-Bye!
-Bye.

Yes.

Yo, I know you can

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ]

[ Sighs ]

Darletra, did you and your
brother acquire the item?

Perfect.

I have cloaked
this entire place.

It should keep us from
being detected by the council.

You know your orders.

We must have everything in time
for the ritual.

Ah.

Now go.

Hm.

They'll finally learn.

They've messed with the wrong
f*cking witch.

Hi. You look like
you're new to the shop.

Can I help you find something?

Um, I'm just looking around.

Is this like,
a magic store or something?

[ Laughs ]
It's an occult shop, yes.

We sell anything
mystical and magical.

Even hard to find items.

What? You're not
into mystic arts?

No. I can't say that I am.

Well, maybe closer
than you think.

That Hamsa charm
around your neck,

it's a symbol of protection.

Oh. Um, my mom gave it to me.

Seems like your mother wanted
to keep you safe.

I'm actually looking
for a person.

Do you know someone named Caden?

-Caden?

Caden who?

I actually don't know
their last name.

Oh, well, I'm not really --

TABITHA: Oh, my God, it's her.

But, you know what, let me check
with the owner, Tabitha.

-Oh, sh*t!
-I'll be right back.

-Hey, Tabitha.
-You know,

I already told you that we are
not going to pay extra for that.

No, I'm going to need to speak
with your manager.

Because this is unacceptable...

[ Exhales deeply ]

Well, it seems like she's on
a very important call,

but if you just give me
your number,

I'll let you know what she says.

Oh.

Camille.

I'm Jordan.
So nice to meet you.

You too.
And thank you.

She has real power.

Come on, Come on, come on,
Come on.

Hey. It's me.

She's here.

[ Siren wailing ]

You ready?

Ready.

Of oil and water.

Of soil and earth.

SHERISE: Of sage and air.

Of ash and fire.

Spirits, guides, ancestors,
we invoke thee.

Hear my petition,
a plea to be your hands,

a vessel for your power.

Lavender for earth.

Incense for air.

Ash for fire.

Oil for water.

And frog bone for animal.

Body for the petitioner.

[ Sighs ]

Wisdom, power, magick spun.
Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.
Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power --

[ Sighs ] Damn it,
damn it, damn it!

[ Sighs ] It didn't work.

I'm sorry, mija.

Maybe it was just something
with the spell.

Look.

The full moon
is just two days away.

It's a more potent time.
We can try again then.

Mnh-mnh.

Mm, mm, mm, mm.

The magic is not happy.

Girl, what the hell
are you talking about?

It doesn't like to be forced.
It has a flow.

Look here, girl.

That spell was doomed
from the jump.

We don't have enough power.
We need another witch.

Maybe two.

But -- here you go --
I got to jet.

I got to study. Besos.

And I got something
that'll make you feel better.

Mm-hmm.

Positively orgasmic.

I'm good actually.

Oh, wait.

Ang?

[ Laughs ]

Uh...[ Laughs ]

This is the orgasmic one.

Are you sure?

Yeah.
I'm working on a special elixir

to induce a healing dream state.

Some of my trials
went a little off track.

So this one will have you
tripping ba*ls for days.

[ Laughs ]

Why are you carrying
that around?

-And I'll take that one.
-Mm-hmm.

You got any more
of those orgasmic ones?

-Mm-hmm.
-Let's go.

[ Laughs ]

Hey, look.

I know you've been struggling
with this,

but you don't have to change
to fit in with us, okay?

We're a family.

A f*cked up family.
But we're a family.

Thanks, Sherise.

Have a good night.

I will. Bye, girl.

So, this what we doing now?

What, I'm just practicing
my craft.

Look, my power of suggestion
is growing.

It's not just a nudge anymore.
It's almost like full control.

Watch.

Tom, can you take that

room over there and sweep
the floor for me?

Yeah. That don't seem right.

Where you find
this guy at anyway?

The club.

He gave me consent. He said
he wanted to be my sl*ve.

I'm pretty sure that's not
what he had in mind.

You better not ever
try that sh*t on me.

Never, baby.

I wouldn't want to
jeopardize our friendship

or the benefits
that come with it.

I'm serious, Sherise.

Oh, you sound just like Angela.

See, that's why I don't
do this sh*t around her.

She always talking
about free will.

Well, maybe you should
listen to her.

And maybe you should shut
the f*ck up and f*ck me.

In front of this guy?

He's busy following orders.
He won't notice anything.

Damn it.

There's nothing here.

Not in your docs, your journals,
your legal papers.

What am I doing here, Mom?

Why did you give me
this necklace?

[ Sighs ]

What the hell?

Have a good day.

Tabitha.

Yeah?

JORDAN: Do you know
someone named Caden?

Caden who?

I don't know. Just Caden.

No.

Mrs. Lopez?

How are you?

Rest in peace. Okay?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Hello.

Oh, hey, Jordan.

Did you find out about Caden?

That's too bad.

Meet you? Tonight?

Yeah, sure.

Where?

All right. I'll...
I'll see you at 7:00.

Okay. Bye.

♪♪

-Here you go.
-Hey.

Is this your mom's?

Yeah.

I found it after she died
two weeks ago.

After what you said about my
necklace and the symbol there

and seeing it at the shop,
I was thinking maybe you could

help me get some answers.

Well, from what I can tell,
your mom wanted

to reinforce protection
around your home and you.

Every full moon? Hm.

Protection
and avoiding detection.

Yeah.

From whom?

Well, only she could actually
tell you that.

And why every full moon?

Well, magick draws
from natural phenomena.

Full moons are times
of potent energy.

But whatever spell
she was using,

it really isn't in here, though.

[ Laughs ] Spell? No, my mom
wasn't into that stuff.

Kind of look like she was.

Like, every witch
has an innate power,

something they can use
without a spell.

Take me.

I'm a receiver,
so I can actually sense magick.

Certain tools can help, but I
don't actually really need it.

You know what?
Maybe your mother

was like this
natural protector or healer.

Jordan, this is
completely ridiculous.

I came to you for real answers,
not a fairy tale.

Okay. These are answers.

Okay, most people would be
really excited to hear

about real magick.

What's really going on?

Look, when my mom died, she, um,

she told me I was in danger.

Danger?

From what?

I don't know.

She sent me across the country

to an occult shop to find
a Caden,

who's nowhere to be found.

And -- I don't know.

I don't know who to trust.
I don't have family.

I don't have anyone
I could contact and ask.

So I just -- I need answers.

Right.

Well, I don't have
all the answers,

but I can tell you one thing.

What?

Well, it's kind of the reason

why I wanted to meet you
in the first place.

Look, most people don't know
about real magick.

But, sister girl, girl, you got
some real magick of your own.

Uh, no.

I don't have any powers.

I'd know if I did,
or my mom would have.

Look, I sensed it the very
first time I met you.

I even sense it now.

You have real magick,
whether you know it or not.

Okay.

Well, um, your senses are wrong,

and I should have
never came here.

Okay, anything ever happen
that you couldn't explain?

Or maybe you felt like
maybe you were psychic.

It has, hasn't it?

What was it?

All right.

I could have swore I saw one of
my old patients this morning.

I'm a hospice nurse.

And literally minutes later,
one of my old co-workers

texted me saying that
she had died.

It felt so real.

This isn't the first time
it's happened.

There's been
other patients, too.

See, that is what
I'm talking about.

Okay, well, let's say
I believe you.

And I'm not saying I do.

Was my mom a witch
and I got it from her?

Maybe.

Magick is kind of
weird like that sometimes.

Sometimes it can be
in your bloodline,

like my best friend Mona,
and sometimes it can be like me.

My family doesn't
really have magick.

[ Sighs ] Look, I'm in a group
full of Black female witches.

A coven.

And tomorrow's the full moon,
and we're doing a spell.

And we really,
really need a fifth witch.

Girl, I am not a witch.

Not yet!

Girl, being a witch
is so worth it.

You can bring luck, love, money.

Even...the truth.

You got to come see
for yourself.

The truth, huh?

All right, I'll do it.

Great! Great, great,
great, great, great.

Your life is about to change
for the better.

Listen here. Trouble's coming.

You have got to get here now.

Because if she finds out
who she is,

we are all in danger.

[ Siren wailing ]

JORDAN: Come on.

Everyone, this is Camille,
the one I told you about.

She's new into town,
and she's powerful.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Ooh, you have a pulsing vibe
about you.

That's Ang.
She can harness plant magick.

Whoa.

Don't mind her.
She's just high.

I'm Sherise.
Power of the mind.

She can influence
people's minds.

Like mind control?

More like strong suggestion.

I'm Mona. I manipulate
electromagnetic energy.

[ Gasps ]

Wait, so y'all are for real
about this magick stuff?

MAN:...Internet...

-WOMAN: Drive by --
-MAN: In sports --

What the hell?
Did you just do that?

[ Music playing ]

[ Music stops ]

Ah.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, my God.
This is incredible.

SHERISE: Girl, why are you
standing on one leg?

Dammit, Sherise!

-[ Laughter ]
-It's not funny.

So what about you, girl?
What do you do?

Oh, I don't do anything
like that.

I never even knew
this is possible.

Girl, I thought you said
she was one of us.

-She is.
-She is.

Look, she just
doesn't know it yet.

I'm telling you, with her here,
the spell will work for sure.

What's the spell?

[ Chuckles ]

I'm petitioning the spirits
for an act of power

so I can use magick
and not just sense it.

You'll see.

Come on.

[ Sighs ]

It's time.

The full moon
is nearing its height.

Okay, look, I kind of snooped
in Tabitha's books,

and I figured out
what was missing --

blood from each of us.

Nah.

I didn't sign up for this.

Okay, okay, look.

I know that this sounds freaky,

but I just need
a drop to connect us.

Okay, look, your mother
sent you across the country.

Maybe this is a way
for you to get answers.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

-All right.
-All right?

Okay, come on.

Okay, okay.

[ Groans ]

I can't believe
I'm about to do this.

[ Gasps ]

Now we can begin.

Of oil and water.

Of soil and earth.

Of sage and air.

Press it against her chest
and say, "Of ash and fire."

Of ash and fire.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Did you feel that?

JORDAN: Guys, it's working!

It's working.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

The council may have
stripped me of my power.

But as we know,
there are ways around that.

The magick I've borrowed
is finite.

We'll need to enhance it.

Daniel.

Step forward.

And kneel.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.
Through the many to the one.

I'm granting you

the honor of this special role

in the ritual.

Are you ready?

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Through the many to the one.

Wisdom, power, magick spun.

Seriously, we need to stop.

ALL: Through the many
to the one.

Wisdom, power --

I can't harness death magick.

Without a death.

[ Slices, gagging ]

[ Groans ]

JORDAN: It worked.

It worked. It worked!

Okay, it worked!
I can feel it!

It worked!

Mona?

Mona? Mona?

Oh, my God.

-Mona?
-Oh!

Oh, my God.

She's dead.
