[intense music]

Darkness, I charge you

with this sign

mother in the night

are mine.

I teach you the mystery

of rebirth

work my mysteries

in Earth.

Hear my ears

and speak with my tongue.

Drawn to the heart

and lip

five points

to this fellowship.

I bring you ecstasy

and rebirth.

Be with my things living

on my own.

From me they come

and to me they go.

I invoke you

and call upon you

brought by seed

and Earth.

Hear me with my ears

and speak with my tongue.

- I invite you to come.

- I invite you to come.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

Get in, psycho.

[chuckles]

What?

What?

What the fu..

You're f***in' weird,

dude.

[cutlery clanking]

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[chuckles]

[Mrs. Reyes sobbing]

[indistinct chatter]

- Mom?

- Wait a second.

Honey, I said

give me a second.

I just wanted to see

if you were okay.

[sniffles]

[heavy breathing]

Where are you going

on a school night?

I'm going to that

book signing, remember?

I told you.

Do whatever you want.

I don't care.

[sniffling]

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

You get one of those

tattooed on you.

Bad ass motherf***er.

- Hi.

- Hi.

It's an amazing book.

Thank you.

I find it

really fascinating

because the writing

is so good

and you take the

subject seriously.

Thank you.

But I just wish that

maybe you could write

a little bit more

about rituals. Um..

I think you've got enough

of them in there. No?

Just, careful

what you believe in.

Alright?

Yeah.

- What's your name?

- Leah.

Leah,

that's a lovely name.

- Thanks for coming.

- Yeah, thanks.

Now words fill me

with power

Ask me why alone

I love this part,

about evil.

"I don't think the devil's

role is to create evil,

but rather to expose the

evil in the hearts of men

by challenging

their loyalty to God."

F***, that's cool.

I don't care if this guy

looks like my dad.

He's still f***in' cool.

- Here.

- Thanks.

Do you think our parents

will always be our parents?

What the hell

does that mean?

Like, I mean, like

we're supposed to

look up to them

but they're really just

f***in' people. right?

Like walking in on them

takin' a sh*t?

No. Like..

[laughter]

I mean, like,

they're just people

and they f*** up

and they make mistakes

and really they're just

f***in' people.

It's weird.

[instrumental music]

[Leah laughing]

A bird laid out

at the blue moon

And the moon will care

that the song singing

Won't you care

if it's the end?

Without the moon..

[chuckles]

Stop.

Without your princes

The dancing

really turned

Okay.

- Okay.

- Yeah. Okay, bye.

The prince has..

He really gave me

some loving

[Aaron groans]

F***.

[engine revving]

You can't erase

the feeling

You know who knows

the fantasy

Will take you to the

eastern cloud

A gift for you

unto the..

Hey heh

[door closes]

What's wrong?

You tell me.

Leah? Leah!

Leah, get downstairs.

So, are you gonna

tell me

that the book signing

just ended

and you're home right after

like a good girl, huh?

No.

I called the library

and I know what time

it ended, so..

So?

So, I'm tired of you lying

to my face.

[sighs] I'm trying to do

the best I can, okay?

I'm havin' a really

hard time here

I need you on my side.

Well, you're

all over the place.

What is that supposed

to mean?

It means I don't even know

who I'm coming home

to anymore.

[sighs]

Leah..

...I just can't do it

here anymore, okay?

I'm trying, but I feel

like I can't breathe.

This place feels

like your father's funeral

every f***ing day.

- I have to move on.

- What?

I didn't wanna

say anything in case

I changed my mind,

but I signed a lease

on a place

up north from here.

I'm selling this house.

Honey, I need

a fresh start

please understand.

We're moving?

Yes.

When?

By the end of the month.

Oh, fu..

[breathing heavily]

F***. F***.

[death metal music]

Wolves bad dreams

Became nightmares

of day

What do you

bad disgust?

A song a song

Domestic violence

Summoning victory rape

Violence violence

Violence violence

Reserve reserve

Abuse abuse

Domestic violence

[death metal music

on earphones]

[instrumental music]

[inhales]

[sighs]

You're making pancakes?

Sure, why not?

Sit, sit.

Okay.

I'm gonna be late

for work, so enjoy.

Mwah!

Oh, I, um, I need to go

to the new place today.

I want you

to come with me.

I'll pick you up

after school. Okay?

Leah?

Yeah, okay.

[sighs]

[door closes]

[door creaks open]

[sighing]

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

That's f***ing bullshit,

just like that?

Yeah, I don't know

what to do about it.

She's taking me

out there tonight.

I'm sure I'm gonna

f***ing hate it.

Here.

No, I shouldn't, um,

she's picking me up soon.

That's f***ing bullshit.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[sighs]

[birds chirping]

[intense music]

Leah?

Coming.

[scoffs]

[Leah grunting]

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

So, what are you gonna do

about work?

Everything I do

from the office

I can do from home.

And maybe I'll get

a little hobby job

on the weekends.

We can do it together,

that could be fun.

I spend the weekends

with my friends.

Well, you'll make

new friends at school.

Okay. We should

talk about that.

I was thinking

I can transfer you

after the holidays.

Does that sound good?

- No.

- No?

No.

I don't wanna change

schools, Mom.

Why don't you just let me

get my license?

I can drive myself down.

When you can afford

your own car

and learn to drive,

absolutely.

Well, when are you gonna

let me do that?

It's like your way

of controlling me.

I really don't wanna fight

with you today.

Would you be happy

finishing the school year

and then transfer

next year?

I will drive you

in the morning

pick you up after school.

Take it or leave it.

[instrumental music]

You have everything?

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

- Lunch? Okay.

- Yup.

I'll be right here

after school, okay?

Okay.

[music continues]

[Leah chuckles]

- Oh. F***.

- What?

My mom's waiting for me.

Well, we'll see you

this weekend, right?

We're going to that, like,

stupid carnival thing.

No, I have to be

up north with her.

Sh*t, that's too bad.

Okay. Cool, see you later.

See ya.

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

F***.

Hey, kiddo,

how was your day?

Great.

[engine revving]

And you shouldn't

call me that either.

Well, that's how

you're acting.

Hey! Get down here,

right now!

What?

You know, you better start

respecting me or...

Or what, you're gonna

uproot my life?

God, you are acting

like such a brat!

Oh, how else am I supposed

to act, Mom?

You know, I am driving over

two f***in' hours a day

so you can be

with your stupid friends

- and that is not enough for you!

- Don't call them stupid.

- Come here! Come here!

- What?

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

- F***in' don't touch me.
