[ 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 gay.
Make you gay.
[ 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 killed her and they'll arrest us all.
We did kill her! Make the damn call
and maybe they'll get here fast enough so they can save her.
Camille, you just said it.
We killed 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 killed 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 fuck 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 fuck 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 killed 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 fuck, 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 slavery.
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 kill 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 fuck 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.
Alright.
We're ready.
We are too.
We're gonna need our blood.
Since we used our blood in the spell that killed 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.
[ 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?
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 fucking 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 shit 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 shit I didn't understand but...
Camille, they said you have a lot of power.
Dangerous power.
It's basically what killed me.
-The fuck? -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 fuck 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, bitch, 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 ]
