00:02:37Okay.
00:02:39Okay.
00:02:41Good morning, morning.
00:02:44You want some breakfast.
00:02:45I've got eggs.
00:02:47I got cereal.
00:02:50I wasn't sure what you'd want.
00:02:52You have coffee?
00:02:55I can do that.
00:02:57You sleep okay?
00:02:59Mm-hmm.
00:03:01Sorry your room's such a mess.
00:03:03Thanks.
00:03:05I've been meaning to clear some of that stuff up.
00:03:07It's fine. I really didn't tell you I was coming.
00:03:09Oh, I'm not complaining. Happy to have you.
00:03:11Thanks, Dad.
00:03:13Mm-hmm.
00:03:15Ah.
00:03:17I did get...
00:03:27Strawberry's still your favorite.
00:03:29Frosting? Nope.
00:03:31Only kid in America doesn't like frosting.
00:03:33A kid without frosting.
00:03:39You doing okay?
00:03:41Mm-hmm. More.
00:03:43I don't know. It's been a while since you were able to visit.
00:03:45When you called last night
00:03:47and you said you were coming,
00:03:49I just wondered if anything was up.
00:03:51Mm. Nothing's up.
00:03:53It felt like coming out.
00:03:55Yeah, well, it's...
00:03:57It's good to have you.
00:03:59I couldn't tell.
00:04:01You really went all in on these groceries.
00:04:03Well, I don't know what you eat anymore.
00:04:05You know, Nicole came back from college.
00:04:07A vegan.
00:04:09Who?
00:04:11Nicole, from next door.
00:04:13Nikki?
00:04:15Yeah, she's home for the summer.
00:04:17Nikki's in college.
00:04:19How do you think I feel?
00:04:21Um, here.
00:04:23I can... I can help you with these.
00:04:25All right.
00:04:33Uh, you know,
00:04:35I was thinking
00:04:37if you don't have anything else going on
00:04:39while you're here,
00:04:41it might be nice to visit your mom.
00:04:43Yeah.
00:04:45Yeah, we could do that.
00:04:47Um...
00:04:49You know, where does this go?
00:04:51Uh, I'll take care of it.
00:04:53You sure?
00:04:55Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:04:57Okay, uh, I'm gonna go take a shower.
00:04:59I'm meeting some folks in town in a bit.
00:05:01Okay. Uh, what time you be back?
00:05:03Uh, probably not till tonight.
00:05:05Okay.
00:05:07All right, well, have fun.
00:05:21♪
00:05:51♪
00:06:09Oh, excuse me.
00:06:11The library's closing in.
00:06:13Jess?
00:06:15Hi, Ms. Stewart.
00:06:17What are you doing here?
00:06:19Doug didn't tell me you were coming home.
00:06:21Oh, he didn't know.
00:06:23It was sort of spur of the moment late last night.
00:06:25Do you want to check that out?
00:06:27Nah, no.
00:06:29Already read it.
00:06:31Just feeling nostalgic.
00:06:33Well, I'm sure your dad's glad for your company.
00:06:35You tell him hi for me, okay?
00:06:37Will do.
00:06:39Have a good night.
00:06:41You too.
00:06:49♪
00:06:57Jessica Whitman.
00:06:59Alana?
00:07:01Oh, my God, Alana!
00:07:03Hello!
00:07:05How are you doing?
00:07:07Oh, I had no idea you were still in town.
00:07:09Oh, please don't rub it in.
00:07:11How are you?
00:07:13I'm good. I'm really good. How are you?
00:07:15Where'd you end up?
00:07:17It's really not that impressive.
00:07:19Still can't take a compliment, huh?
00:07:21What are you doing?
00:07:23Do you want to get a drink?
00:07:25What, right now?
00:07:27Yeah, I saw McNair's is still open.
00:07:29If you're not doing anything.
00:07:31I'm not doing anything, but that dive?
00:07:33Come on, it'll be fun.
00:07:35I don't know.
00:07:37Wow, I'm the one convincing you to have a good time.
00:07:39Stop.
00:07:41Seems like someone's lost their edge.
00:07:43You're buying.
00:07:45Off we go to McNair's.
00:07:47To McNair's?
00:07:51I find the organizational aspects of it really satisfying,
00:07:53but it's also just fascinating
00:07:55to see what people hang on to.
00:07:57Like, what they think is important.
00:07:59Okay, what is, like, the weirdest thing you've ever found?
00:08:01An envelope with razor blades.
00:08:03Wait, seriously?
00:08:05Why?
00:08:07I don't know. It was in a collection of private letters.
00:08:09What were the letters about?
00:08:11They were love letters.
00:08:13Sounds like dark magic to me.
00:08:15No, that's just a normal marriage.
00:08:17Ooh, cynical.
00:08:19Well, wouldn't you be?
00:08:21So, what about you?
00:08:23I feel like it's been so long
00:08:25I don't even know what to add.
00:08:27Nothing exciting.
00:08:29Oh, come on, I can't believe you lead a boring life.
00:08:31I'm still in town, so...
00:08:33Are you still doing music?
00:08:35Not really.
00:08:37I was giving voice lessons to some of the kids in town,
00:08:39but then it kind of ended, so...
00:08:41That's too bad. That sounds perfect for you.
00:08:43It was.
00:08:45Yeah, there's some good kids in town, but...
00:08:47Stay lovey.
00:08:49No.
00:08:51Dare I ask?
00:08:53What?
00:08:55Love life.
00:08:57No. No. Really?
00:08:59Um, what about you? Any boys?
00:09:01Jess, there are three guys in this town,
00:09:03and they're all brothers.
00:09:05And I've already dated all of them.
00:09:07Come on, it's not that bad here.
00:09:09It's just a scholarship.
00:09:15I'm sorry, that came out really wrong.
00:09:17I've been thinking a lot about leaving town,
00:09:19and I just don't have the funds right now.
00:09:21It's okay.
00:09:23I know I got lucky.
00:09:25You worked really hard.
00:09:27Yeah, but...
00:09:31Yeah, after my mom died, I just got really focused
00:09:33on school and leaving and...
00:09:35Any things I could control.
00:09:37Um...
00:09:39But I know I bailed.
00:09:43I know that wasn't an easy year for you, either.
00:09:45You lost our house.
00:09:47But you lost your mom.
00:09:49It's not the same.
00:09:51No, but I, uh...
00:09:53I just got really caught up in everything
00:09:55with my family, and I, um...
00:09:57I was a little dismissive.
00:10:01Yeah.
00:10:03Yeah.
00:10:05Thanks for saying that.
00:10:09I'm sorry.
00:10:13I'm sorry about your mom.
00:10:19She was sick a long time, so...
00:10:21They love you, right?
00:10:27You're still mad at her.
00:10:33Yeah.
00:10:35Uh, I am.
00:10:37That's the thing about dying.
00:10:39No one gets to be mad at you.
00:10:41It's easier than dealing with your mistakes.
00:10:45Does your dad know?
00:10:47About the affair?
00:10:49No. I mean, I didn't tell him.
00:10:51Don't break his fucking heart.
00:10:57I'm sorry that this got heavy.
00:10:59Hey.
00:11:01It's me.
00:11:03I should have reached out.
00:11:05You were a good friend to me.
00:11:07Some would say bad influence.
00:11:09No.
00:11:11No, you were the only place
00:11:13I didn't have to keep it together.
00:11:17Are you still practicing?
00:11:19Are you?
00:11:21Are you serious?
00:11:23Of course.
00:11:25Hey, wait, maybe that's what's wrong.
00:11:27Oh, no.
00:11:29Are you about to tell me I don't have enough magic in my life?
00:11:31You're not happy.
00:11:33I know I haven't seen you in ten years,
00:11:35but I can see that.
00:11:41God, you've always been so good
00:11:43at reading people.
00:11:45It's obnoxious.
00:11:47Shut up. You're good at literally everything else.
00:11:49That's not true.
00:11:51Uh-huh. I'm a really bad swimmer.
00:11:53Oh, my God! Dude!
00:11:55Are you okay?
00:11:57You sure?
00:11:59Yeah, I don't want to make a big deal about it, so let's just...
00:12:01Okay. Um, here, let me get you another drink.
00:12:03No. Let's not.
00:12:05Not here, at least.
00:12:11Are we lost?
00:12:13We're getting close.
00:12:15Don't you remember the way?
00:12:17Nope.
00:12:19You're leading.
00:12:21Oh, God.
00:12:23You really got the cheap stuff.
00:12:25Oh, you definitely know how to make a girl
00:12:27feel 16 again.
00:12:29That's the point.
00:12:31Do you still come up here?
00:12:33Sometimes.
00:12:35It's nice to get away.
00:12:37Away from what?
00:12:39I don't know. It's like 4,000 people.
00:12:41And sometimes it's nice to get away from those people.
00:12:43Fair point.
00:12:45Don't sip too slowly.
00:12:47You'll offend the spirits.
00:12:49Well, the spirits are offending my stomach lining.
00:12:51How much further?
00:12:53God.
00:12:55I can't believe we used to hike this every day.
00:12:57I feel like this is the opposite
00:12:59of how it's supposed to feel.
00:13:01Like, aren't things supposed to feel smaller as you get older?
00:13:03Like, you're bigger, so by contrast, everything else just...
00:13:17The wind blew.
00:13:19The wind blew.
00:13:21The dust flew.
00:13:25And everything about them was strange.
00:13:29They walked the path
00:13:31that their feet had known
00:13:35when they both were young.
00:13:37Oh, God.
00:13:39And the moon shone down
00:13:41lighting up the ground
00:13:45as the night air filled their lungs.
00:13:47Do you actually know where we're going,
00:13:49or are you just vamping?
00:13:51The widow's weeds led the witch's feet
00:13:53past brambles and black briar.
00:13:57And the starless sky
00:13:59sang a lullaby.
00:14:07And one called her
00:14:09a liar.
00:14:13She sang of warm beds
00:14:15to cover their heads
00:14:17and close their weary eyes.
00:14:21But they followed instead
00:14:23where the spirits led
00:14:27to the place where they had died.
00:14:35Is it bigger than you remembered?
00:14:39Can't even remember the last time I was here.
00:14:42September of senior year.
00:14:47Right before your mom died.
00:14:55You really don't cast anymore?
00:14:57No.
00:14:59Give me that.
00:15:03Hey, don't sit on our altar.
00:15:07I'm not a witch anymore.
00:15:09It's just a pile of rocks to me.
00:15:13How come you quit?
00:15:17I outgrew it.
00:15:19It's not something you outgrow, Jess.
00:15:21It's a part of you.
00:15:23Oh, that's not what I mean.
00:15:27You get older and your problems get bigger.
00:15:29There's things magic can't fix.
00:15:31Or shouldn't.
00:15:35If you can't use it when it matters,
00:15:37use it when it doesn't.
00:15:43Hey.
00:15:45It doesn't have to be so fraught.
00:15:47It can just be beautiful.
00:15:51Or fun.
00:15:57It was fun, wasn't it?
00:15:59Yes, it was fucking fun!
00:16:01It was incredible!
00:16:03We were incredible!
00:16:05I don't like that on my own.
00:16:07Stand up.
00:16:09I want to show you something.
00:16:11What?
00:16:13Come on, just stand up, turn around, do what I say.
00:16:17Take a look at where you are.
00:16:21Really look.
00:16:25I mean, can you honestly tell me
00:16:27that anything in your life
00:16:29makes you feel half as alive
00:16:31as you did when you were 16?
00:16:33You're standing right here.
00:16:45Here.
00:16:49What is this?
00:16:51A reminder.
00:16:59You are a witch, Jessica Whitman.
00:17:01I've just forgotten.
00:17:09Come on.
00:17:11Dream with me.
00:17:21It's got to be better
00:17:23than that shitty tequila, right?
00:17:25Damn straight.
00:17:27Salud.
00:17:57Salud.
00:18:23How do you feel?
00:18:25As good as you couldn't burn.
00:18:27Fuck you.
00:18:29Come on, it isn't real.
00:18:31I mean, it's beautiful, but it's an illusion.
00:18:33What's wrong with an illusion?
00:18:35Nothing, as long as you're being honest with yourself.
00:18:37Do you have any fun anymore?
00:18:39I do, I just...
00:18:41What?
00:18:43I guess I just don't see the point.
00:18:45The point?
00:18:49Jess, the point is possibility.
00:18:51That this world
00:18:53might not be what you think it is.
00:18:55That you
00:18:57might not be the person you think you are.
00:19:01What if I'm a lost cause?
00:19:03No such thing.
00:19:05Unless you've already given up on yourself.
00:19:21Fuck you.
00:19:51Fuck you.
00:20:21There she is.
00:20:23Morning.
00:20:25Afternoon.
00:20:27Ah.
00:20:29Good night last night?
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:33Sorry, I didn't think I'd be out that late.
00:20:35Don't apologize, you're an adult.
00:20:37My body is reminding me.
00:20:39Well, you know,
00:20:41there's ibuprofen if you want it.
00:20:43Mm, I'll be fine.
00:20:45What?
00:20:47Stress?
00:20:49What?
00:20:51Is it too much like self-care?
00:20:55You know, I liked it better when you were less attentive.
00:20:57You might want to eat something too.
00:20:59Don't worry.
00:21:01I plan on helping you out
00:21:03with that leftover pizza in the fridge.
00:21:05I can make you something.
00:21:07No, no, you're fine.
00:21:20Listen, um,
00:21:22I gotta go
00:21:24check on a buddy's car in a bit,
00:21:26but I thought
00:21:28maybe later
00:21:30we could go see your mom.
00:21:32I didn't know
00:21:34you were still working on cars.
00:21:36Yeah, you know, it's good to have a little extra cash around.
00:21:38Keeps me busy.
00:21:42Uh, can we see how I'm feeling in a little bit?
00:21:44Yeah, of course.
00:21:46Cool. I'm gonna go take a bath.
00:21:49Okay.
00:21:55Do you need a plate for that?
00:21:57Yeah, I got it.
00:22:15Jesse, I'm heading out.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:19You need me to pick you up anything?
00:22:21No, I'm fine.
00:22:23Okay. Well, let me know if you think of something.
00:22:25I'll be back in a couple hours.
00:22:27Okay.
00:22:47Okay.
00:23:17Hey, uh,
00:23:19we got some of your mail.
00:23:21My dad just asked me to run it over.
00:23:23Thanks.
00:23:25It's Nicole.
00:23:27Uh, no, I-I know.
00:23:29I'm-I'm sorry. I'm being rude.
00:23:31No, no, it's-it's totally fine.
00:23:33You haven't seen me since I was, like, what, ten?
00:23:37So how are you?
00:23:39Good, good.
00:23:41I'm home from school.
00:23:43Good.
00:23:45Good, good.
00:23:47I'm home from college.
00:23:49Yeah, you're what, a-a junior now?
00:23:51Senior. Well, about to be.
00:23:53Wow.
00:23:55Well, I'm-I'm sure your parents are glad to have you home.
00:23:57Um, well, actually,
00:23:59it's-it's just my dad and I now.
00:24:01They separated.
00:24:03Sorry, I-I didn't know.
00:24:05No, it's okay. It was, like, a while ago.
00:24:09How's your brother?
00:24:11He's good.
00:24:13He's in Boston. He's, uh, doing the startup thing.
00:24:15Yeah? I should look him up.
00:24:17Oh, are you up there, too?
00:24:19Yeah, I sort of never left after school.
00:24:21Yeah. Well, I'm-
00:24:23Thank you for this.
00:24:25Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bye. Take care.
00:24:43♪
00:25:13♪
00:25:17Back here, Fina.
00:25:19♪
00:25:33I thought I might find you here.
00:25:35It's better not to let the magic linger.
00:25:39Always so careful.
00:25:43Thorough.
00:25:45You have fun last night?
00:25:47I wanna...
00:25:49What?
00:25:51Why am I here?
00:25:53What do you mean?
00:25:55I never come home.
00:25:57I can barely have a conversation
00:25:59with my dad on the phone,
00:26:01but two nights ago,
00:26:03I had the sudden urge to drive 100 miles
00:26:05and sleep in my childhood bed.
00:26:07Myrtle.
00:26:11Keep a loved one close to you.
00:26:15Why did you bring me here?
00:26:19Because I need your help with something.
00:26:27You want a water or anything?
00:26:29No, I'm good.
00:26:31You want a water or anything?
00:26:33Sure.
00:26:35Your place is nice.
00:26:37Oh, thanks.
00:26:39Yeah, it turns out rent's not too bad
00:26:41when your uncle's the landlord.
00:26:47Oh, yeah.
00:26:49Some of my old students are having a fundraiser
00:26:51for their choir trip.
00:26:53Do you remember the one I went on in 10th grade?
00:26:55Mm.
00:26:57Thought it might be nice to help out.
00:26:59What are you going to make?
00:27:01I was thinking a cake.
00:27:03Like lemon with buttercream frosting.
00:27:05I don't know.
00:27:07Probably won't go.
00:27:09That cake sounds good, though.
00:27:11My mom used to make
00:27:13amazing lemon curd.
00:27:15Really?
00:27:17Yeah. She actually used to bake a lot
00:27:19when I was little.
00:27:21I didn't know that.
00:27:23She quit when she got sick.
00:27:25Didn't stop her from cheating on my dad, though.
00:27:29I saw his daughter today.
00:27:31Whose?
00:27:33Mike's.
00:27:35The neighbor.
00:27:37The guy that...
00:27:39Oh, my God.
00:27:41Does she know?
00:27:43I think so.
00:27:45I don't know. She was dropping off mail.
00:27:47I wish my dad would sell that house.
00:27:49No, you don't.
00:27:51That's your childhood home.
00:27:55Where's your mom?
00:27:57Who knows?
00:27:59Florida?
00:28:01Wherever the hell her boyfriend is this week.
00:28:03Well, what's important
00:28:05is that we're both disappointed in our mothers.
00:28:07All right.
00:28:09Are you going to tell me what we're doing?
00:28:11Right.
00:28:13Okay, so it's a striving spell.
00:28:15Spooky.
00:28:17Stop.
00:28:19Alana, I don't know what that is.
00:28:21Right. It's about guilt.
00:28:23So striving like confession?
00:28:26So my friend
00:28:28lost her daughter.
00:28:30Oh.
00:28:32It was an accident.
00:28:34She fell, hit her head,
00:28:36took her to the hospital, but it was too late.
00:28:38God.
00:28:40Yeah, she was little, like four.
00:28:42Of course her mom feels responsible,
00:28:44but it was an accident.
00:28:46I mean, there was a whole investigation with the county.
00:28:48They never pressed charges.
00:28:50There was no criminal negligence, but...
00:28:52She still feels guilty.
00:28:55You want to find a way
00:28:57to help her feel better.
00:28:59That's big magic, Alana.
00:29:03I wouldn't even know where to begin.
00:29:07I do.
00:29:09It's old.
00:29:11Like Old Testament old.
00:29:13Have you ever heard of a sin-eater?
00:29:15It's basically somebody
00:29:17that takes on the sins of other people
00:29:19and absolves them of the guilt.
00:29:21What happens to the sin-eater?
00:29:23It's the afterlife.
00:29:25Here.
00:29:27The invocation of Isca.
00:29:29Isca was a sin-eater, one of the first.
00:29:31So by invoking her spirit...
00:29:33She absorbs the sins.
00:29:35It's obscure, but it's been done before.
00:29:37It's the only thing I can find
00:29:39that avoids us taking on the sin ourselves.
00:29:41Well, who was she?
00:29:43I mean, other than a sin-eater.
00:29:45There's not much written about her other than the spell.
00:29:47Sin-eaters were outcasts of their communities.
00:29:49People were afraid to even look at them.
00:29:51They believed a soul that carried that much evil
00:29:53could never find peace.
00:29:55Why would someone do that,
00:29:57sacrifice themselves like that?
00:29:59Most sin-eaters were people who thought
00:30:01they were already condemned.
00:30:03They'd done something that they knew
00:30:05could never be absolved.
00:30:07So when things got tough,
00:30:09they didn't have much to lose.
00:30:11Making a little money,
00:30:13eating the sins of others.
00:30:17They thought they were beyond redemption.
00:30:21Is this her?
00:30:25Yeah.
00:30:27Lauren.
00:30:31And that's Mallory.
00:30:37This is dark stuff, Alana.
00:30:39We're gonna do this.
00:30:41We have to do it right.
00:30:43I know.
00:30:45That's why I need you.
00:30:51I need you.
00:31:21Come here.
00:31:45It's a little hot.
00:31:47That's okay.
00:31:51It's okay.
00:32:11How'd you do it?
00:32:13Salt? Over there.
00:32:15Okay.
00:32:19Are you ready?
00:32:21Yeah.
00:32:23I think so.
00:32:29Wait.
00:32:35Angelica.
00:32:37For protection.
00:32:39The room.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:59Do you have the account?
00:33:01It's in my pocket.
00:33:07Okay.
00:33:09That's everything.
00:33:15Ashes to ashes.
00:33:25Is it bad?
00:33:27It's definitely not good.
00:33:33Are you okay?
00:33:35Oh, God, that's awful.
00:33:37Here, I'll finish the rest.
00:33:39Are you sure?
00:33:41Yeah, give it to me.
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:53That's done.
00:33:55What's next?
00:33:57The knife.
00:34:01You want me to do it?
00:34:05Dominate hand.
00:34:07Right.
00:34:15Ew.
00:34:23I hate blood magic.
00:34:25At least we're not drinking it.
00:34:45Okay.
00:34:49Last chance to back out?
00:34:51I'm not backing out.
00:34:53I'm not backing out.
00:35:23Iskall.
00:35:31Is that supposed to happen?
00:35:33Let's keep going.
00:35:53Come on.
00:36:15Do you have the lighter?
00:36:17You don't have it?
00:36:19I was gonna use a candle.
00:36:23Never mind.
00:36:53Do you feel that?
00:37:23Anna?
00:37:29Anna?
00:37:34Anna!
00:37:53Anna!
00:38:23Anna?
00:38:39She had scars.
00:38:41What?
00:38:43Iska. On her back.
00:38:45From the ritual.
00:38:47One for every sin.
00:38:53How are you feeling?
00:38:55Good.
00:38:57Don't.
00:38:59What?
00:39:01Act like that went well.
00:39:05That spirit.
00:39:07God, she was so angry.
00:39:11Couldn't you feel it?
00:39:13Yeah, I could.
00:39:17It was dangerous.
00:39:19That much pain is dangerous.
00:39:23Hey.
00:39:25It's been a long night.
00:39:27Why don't I crack open a bottle of wine?
00:39:29Actual wine.
00:39:31No, I should get home.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:39Jess.
00:39:41I know things got a little scary,
00:39:43but we're fine, right?
00:39:45And we did it.
00:39:47We did it.
00:39:49I just need to get some sleep.
00:39:51I'll see you tomorrow?
00:39:53Yeah.
00:39:55Good night.
00:39:57Night.
00:40:21I love you.
00:40:51Good morning.
00:41:13Good morning.
00:41:15Morning.
00:41:17You doing okay?
00:41:19Yeah.
00:41:21We have dreams.
00:41:23You know, you might want to take it easy
00:41:25with these late nights.
00:41:27Too many of them, you wind up looking like me.
00:41:31Sorry I've been out so much
00:41:33while I've been here.
00:41:35Oh, it's okay.
00:41:37You got your life.
00:41:39Besides, I gotta finish this bad boy
00:41:41by tonight.
00:41:43What's tonight?
00:41:45Book club.
00:41:47You're in a book club?
00:41:49I started a book club.
00:41:51Wow.
00:41:53Is this like a way for you to meet women?
00:41:55No.
00:41:57In fact, it's a way to get together with the guys.
00:41:59Because, you know, I'm not working as much anymore.
00:42:03That's really nice, actually.
00:42:07You do know it would be okay, though,
00:42:09if it were a way for you to meet women.
00:42:11I'll keep that in mind.
00:42:13Good.
00:42:15You will destroy your books holding them like that.
00:42:19I'll keep that in mind, too.
00:42:25Well, you know, I kind of like it
00:42:27when the spine gets all worn in like that.
00:42:29Adds character.
00:42:33It is possible to be too careful, Jessie.
00:42:35Well, I spent last night with Alana,
00:42:37so careful is sort of feeling
00:42:39like the thing to be this morning.
00:42:41Yeah, well, that's...
00:42:45That's different.
00:42:47I think it's good you're spending time with her.
00:42:51You know, people in this town have been so hard on her.
00:42:55She's a good kid.
00:42:57What are you talking about?
00:43:03Well, Mallory Evans.
00:43:05I mean, didn't she tell you?
00:43:15Hey.
00:43:31Hey, stranger.
00:43:33Welcome back.
00:43:35Hey. Um, can I come in?
00:43:37Yeah, of course.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:43I actually don't have a ton of time.
00:43:45I wound up deciding to go to that bake sale,
00:43:47and I got started on my cake and then realized...
00:43:49I know.
00:43:51You know what?
00:43:53I know you were babysitting Mallory.
00:43:57That that spell wasn't for her mother.
00:43:59It was for you.
00:44:05Are you okay?
00:44:07I'm fine.
00:44:09Yeah, because you did a spell.
00:44:11So what? You came here to chastise me?
00:44:13No, I... I'm worried about you.
00:44:15There's nothing to worry about.
00:44:17Well, I am.
00:44:19Alana, talk to me.
00:44:21There's nothing to talk about.
00:44:23It was an accident, and I'm not gonna spend
00:44:25the rest of my life feeling guilty for something
00:44:27that isn't even my fault. I'm not saying...
00:44:29Sorry, I really need to finish this.
00:44:33I just want to understand.
00:44:35You want to understand?
00:44:39You know how some people say they only looked away
00:44:41for a second?
00:44:43I didn't. I was right there.
00:44:45I just wasn't fast enough.
00:44:47She fell,
00:44:49she hit her head on that stupid coffee table,
00:44:51and that's it.
00:44:53But because it's me, people assume that I must
00:44:55not have been paying attention.
00:44:57I was probably stoned or on the phone with some guy.
00:44:59Do you think anybody would have thought that
00:45:01if it was you?
00:45:04I can't understand, Jess,
00:45:06because you get to have accidents.
00:45:08Good girls are allowed to make mistakes.
00:45:14Why didn't you tell me?
00:45:18Would you have helped?
00:45:22Mm-hmm.
00:45:24That's why.
00:45:27No, you shouldn't have lied.
00:45:29Your intention is everything in magic.
00:45:31That spell...
00:45:33Worked. And now it's over.
00:45:35Yeah, you seem like you feel a little better.
00:45:37Listen, I am sorry I lied.
00:45:39I'm sorry you're upset.
00:45:41Upset?
00:45:43Do you have any idea what could have happened?
00:45:45No, Glinda, why don't you tell me?
00:45:47Alana, I am not trying to...
00:45:49Of course you are.
00:45:51You couldn't even empathize with your own mother.
00:45:55That is not fair.
00:45:57Do you ever think about how lonely she must have been?
00:46:00How scary it is to be told that you're going to die?
00:46:02Or was it just easier to be angry and righteous?
00:46:04Just stop it, Alana!
00:46:08A kid is dead.
00:46:11Yeah, it's painful.
00:46:13It should be.
00:46:15Things hurt.
00:46:17Life hurts.
00:46:20You can't just magic it away.
00:46:22Why?
00:46:24You were fine when it was for somebody else.
00:46:27We were wrong.
00:46:33I have a cake to finish.
00:46:56Cheers.
00:47:26♪
00:47:56♪
00:48:26♪
00:48:57♪
00:49:13No, I think you're right about that.
00:49:15Alana.
00:49:17Hi, Linda. How's it going?
00:49:19We're just getting set up.
00:49:21Did you come by to drop that off?
00:49:23Yeah, I thought I'd help the girls out.
00:49:25It was such a big deal for me,
00:49:27and I definitely couldn't have afforded it without help.
00:49:29Aren't you sweet?
00:49:31Are you expecting more people? Do you need a hand?
00:49:33No, no, we're fine.
00:49:35Are you sure? I'd really... I don't mind.
00:49:37Alana, I think it's best if...
00:49:40This is a really sweet gesture,
00:49:42but some of the parents...
00:49:44Oh, nonsense.
00:49:46This is so beautiful, sweetheart.
00:49:48Thank you.
00:49:50Thanks, Mrs. Reynolds.
00:49:52Of course, dear.
00:49:56♪
00:50:09No, I'm not.
00:50:11I'm not choosing...
00:50:16I'll be up there for Christmas.
00:50:19I know, I know, I...
00:50:21No, I know what he did.
00:50:26Okay, I...
00:50:28Well, listen, I really, really don't want
00:50:30to get into this with you right now, okay?
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:34Yeah, yeah, I love you.
00:50:38Yeah, no, it's...
00:50:42Okay.
00:50:44Talk soon.
00:50:46Bye.
00:50:48I'm sorry, I wasn't...
00:50:50No, it's fine. I was being loud.
00:50:52I was being nosy.
00:50:56Is everything okay?
00:50:58Yeah, it's just my mom.
00:51:00She's, like, pissed that I'm here.
00:51:02She always gets this way when I visit my dad.
00:51:05It's just frustrating.
00:51:11I'm sorry.
00:51:13Oh, it's fine.
00:51:16I have something...
00:51:19of your mom's.
00:51:21Well, at least I think it's your mom's.
00:51:25A bracelet.
00:51:27Found it in a drawer a few years ago,
00:51:29and it's definitely not my mom's.
00:51:35I didn't want to say anything to your dad just in case...
00:51:37And I'm sorry.
00:51:39I'm sorry.
00:51:41I'm sorry.
00:51:43I didn't want to say anything to your dad just in case...
00:51:45I don't think he knows.
00:51:52Is that why your folks got divorced?
00:51:57Because of my mom?
00:52:00I mean,
00:52:02it's probably more complicated than that, but...
00:52:07Yeah.
00:52:14Do you think they were in love?
00:52:18Their what?
00:52:21Your mom and my dad.
00:52:24Do you think they were in love?
00:52:43I don't know.
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:43Fuck.
00:54:09Fuck!
00:54:11God damn it!
00:54:41Lauren.
00:54:51Lauren.
00:54:58You don't get to cry.
00:55:12How do you not know any of this?
00:55:14Yeah, he used to come over here, like, every day to keep her company.
00:55:17Didn't he have to work?
00:55:19No. No, he was laid off from his job.
00:55:22Around the same time she got her diagnosis.
00:55:25Yeah, he'd just come over here to make sure she wasn't lonely.
00:55:29And he'd stay, and they'd play chess, and...
00:55:32That's how it all started.
00:55:34You know, he still has the chessboard.
00:55:38You know, it'd be kind of romantic
00:55:40if it weren't for all the collateral damage.
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:46I get why your mom doesn't want you here.
00:55:49I get it, but...
00:55:53I mean, he's my dad.
00:55:58I don't know.
00:56:00I mean, he's my dad.
00:56:06You weren't angry.
00:56:10I mean...
00:56:12I guess...
00:56:15I was so young when they got divorced.
00:56:18I didn't really know what was going on.
00:56:21When I got older, I did confront him about all of it, but...
00:56:25But what?
00:56:28He just seemed so incredibly sad.
00:56:32Sad he hurt my mom. Sad he disappointed me.
00:56:35Just... sad.
00:56:39Didn't really see a point in making him feel any worse.
00:56:45You know, people mess up.
00:56:47All the time.
00:56:50And if you leave them behind after they do, then...
00:56:54There's nothing left.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:57:27It's a fine day in summer
00:57:29For us to run for cover
00:57:32Watch the bodies fly
00:57:34Right by our feet
00:57:37Ah, who needs entertainment
00:57:40When they're trapped on the paper
00:57:43Tonight
00:57:45All right
00:57:47It's a fine day in summer
00:57:50For us to run for cover
00:57:53Watch the bodies fly
00:57:55All right
00:57:58Paint it all black and white
00:58:01There's a red sky tonight
00:58:04It's summertime
00:58:15They say there's two sides to every story
00:58:18And there's no need to worry
00:58:21About their side
00:58:23All right
00:58:28Dad?
00:58:32Are you home?
00:58:38Shit.
00:58:53Shit.
00:59:23Mom?
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:37Hi.
00:59:49Mom, I miss you.
00:59:53I love you.
00:59:57Are you okay?
01:00:06Mom?
01:00:10Mom, are you here?
01:00:23Mom?
01:00:53Mom?
01:01:23Thank you.
01:01:45Thank you.
01:01:53Thank you.
01:02:19Alana?
01:02:20Alana, open the door. I need to talk to you.
01:02:23Alana!
01:02:47Alana?
01:02:50Alana?
01:02:52Alana?
01:03:18Alana!
01:03:20Alana, come on!
01:03:50Alana?
01:04:20Alana?
01:04:29Oh, thank God.
01:04:31What happened? Are you okay?
01:04:35Alana, no. Stop.
01:04:40What are you doing?
01:04:50Alana!
01:04:55Oh, my God.
01:04:57She's so sorry. Oh, my God.
01:04:59I'm okay. Oh, God.
01:05:01I don't know what happened. I just...
01:05:02Eska.
01:05:04I can feel her.
01:05:05You have to get out of here.
01:05:06No.
01:05:07Jess, she's in my head, and I don't know what's her and what's me.
01:05:10I'm not leaving.
01:05:12It wasn't me you were trying to hurt.
01:05:16She's everywhere in me.
01:05:18She's so angry.
01:05:20Desperate.
01:05:22Here.
01:05:24Maybe this will keep me from slipping away again.
01:05:27You're warm.
01:05:30You're too warm. We have to get her out.
01:05:32I know.
01:05:34You're not gonna like how...
01:05:43Tighter.
01:05:46That's good.
01:05:55You ready?
01:06:15Okay.
01:06:37How do you feel?
01:06:39Good.
01:06:46Now...
01:06:55I had a dream about her last night.
01:06:58Eska?
01:07:01So many scars.
01:07:05You said she felt desperate.
01:07:08Desperate for what?
01:07:11I don't know.
01:07:16It feels like...
01:07:18Like she can't pass on.
01:07:23Like she can't rest.
01:07:26Not with what she's carrying.
01:07:28Maybe there's something we can do.
01:07:30There's some way to help her cross over.
01:07:33I don't think that's what she wants.
01:07:35What does she want?
01:07:39Absolution.
01:07:46I'm really sorry, Jess.
01:07:50This is all my fault.
01:07:54It's all my fucking fault.
01:08:09You know, they used to say...
01:08:12They used to think bloodletting could cure heart sickness,
01:08:15but I don't think anything can.
01:08:23I think you're probably gonna feel bad
01:08:25for the rest of your life.
01:08:29I think you're always gonna wonder
01:08:31if one little thing had been different
01:08:33if she'd still be alive.
01:08:35You're gonna feel bad because you're a good person, Alana.
01:08:42Even if you can't see it right now.
01:08:47You're a pretty good friend.
01:08:48Did anyone ever tell you that?
01:08:51How are you?
01:08:54Alana?
01:08:56Blood.
01:09:07Alana?
01:09:09Blood.
01:09:11Blood.
01:09:13Blood.
01:09:15Blood.
01:09:17Blood.
01:09:19Blood.
01:09:22Alana?
01:09:26Oh, shit.
01:09:51Oh, shit.
01:10:22Hey.
01:10:24Here you go.
01:10:26Jesse.
01:10:28You have to tell me what to do, okay?
01:10:30You're the one who knows how to do this stuff, not me.
01:10:33I've been way over my head here.
01:10:35Tell me what to do.
01:10:37Just undertake me.
01:10:40No.
01:10:42You have to.
01:10:44You have to take this sentence
01:10:46so she can rest.
01:10:48No, you have to stay right here.
01:10:50No, you have to stay with me.
01:10:52Alana, stay with me.
01:10:55It's okay.
01:10:57I'll be okay.
01:11:00Yeah, what about me?
01:11:02What am I supposed to do without my best friend?
01:11:07I love you, Jesse.
01:11:15No.
01:11:20No.
01:11:50No.
01:12:20No.
01:12:51No.
01:12:53No.
01:12:55No.
01:12:57No.
01:13:00Dimitri.
01:13:02Volko.
01:13:04Transmortem.
01:13:06Ori.
01:13:08Transiremen.
01:13:10Arumpe.
01:13:12Iqorum.
01:13:14Winiatbe.
01:13:16Iska.
01:13:29Dimitri.
01:13:35I know you're in pain and I know you're angry.
01:13:41I know you're stuck here and that you cannot rest.
01:13:50Let me help you.
01:13:59Let me help you.
01:14:29Let me help you.
01:14:38Iska?
01:14:50I saw what was done to you.
01:14:54And I'm sorry.
01:15:00I can't.
01:15:08Yes.
01:15:10I am.
01:15:29I'm sorry.
01:16:00No.
01:16:05No.
01:16:07Wait.
01:16:29Wait.
01:16:59Wait.
01:17:29Wait.
01:17:59Wait.
01:18:17Is that it?
01:18:19That is it.
01:18:25Okay.
01:18:27I'm not backing out.
01:18:29You say that now.
01:18:31But I'm going to rearrange all your furniture.
01:18:48You sure you're going to be okay to drive tonight?
01:18:50Why? You worried you're going to get lost without me?
01:18:52I'm serious.
01:18:54I'll be fine.
01:18:56I'm feeling okay.
01:18:58Just...
01:19:00Stop apologizing.
01:19:02It was my choice.
01:19:04And it wasn't just for you.
01:19:09That spell shouldn't exist.
01:19:12No one deserves what happened to her.
01:19:15Don't you worry. You're going to end up like her.
01:19:19As long as I pass the sins on before I die,
01:19:21there's no harm in carrying them for a while.
01:19:25I guess it's easier to believe someone will be there for you
01:19:27when you've stopped giving up on everyone.
01:19:45All right.
01:19:47The top lock sticks.
01:19:49So if it gives you any trouble, just give it a shove.
01:19:51I'll probably head out in a few hours.
01:19:54Thank you.
01:19:56I'll see you tonight.
01:19:58Jess.
01:20:00You're not going to become like her.
01:20:02I won't let it happen.
01:20:04Oh, yeah. I'd haunt the shit out of you if you did.
01:20:07Drive safe.
01:20:09See you tonight.
01:20:25Hey.
01:20:27Hey.
01:20:29Oh, my God, this came out great.
01:20:31You don't eat it out of the jar.
01:20:33You're supposed to put it on something.
01:20:35This is how I like it.
01:20:37Well, I'm sorry my first attempt cost you a bowl.
01:20:39I don't care about bowls.
01:20:41Ilana on her way?
01:20:43Yeah, she just dropped me off.
01:20:45I think it's good what you're doing.
01:20:47I think she could really use a friend right now.
01:20:50Who could I?
01:20:53So, gonna hit the road?
01:20:55Yeah, but...
01:20:58I thought we could do something first.
01:21:00Hmm?
01:21:03♪ ♪
01:21:19You think she likes us back?
01:21:23Sorry.
01:21:25No, I mean, silly.
01:21:27No, I think she does.
01:21:33I, um...
01:21:37This was on our porch.
01:21:41I think Mike skipped up to it.
01:21:49I'd wondered if he still had it.
01:21:53I guess none of us wanted to do anything about it.
01:21:58You're still here.
01:22:01Just...
01:22:03two scared fools.
01:22:10I knew.
01:22:14Of course I knew.
01:22:18I'm sorry we didn't talk about it.
01:22:24I'm sorry, too.
01:22:27Yeah.
01:22:33Didn't put it on.
01:22:35You sure you don't want to keep it?
01:22:39I don't think it'll fit.
01:22:49Here, come on. Let me try it.
01:22:57Looks good.
01:22:59Yeah.
01:23:01It does.
