Yes, thank you."

Shut up. Get

back to work.

You have lots

of dishes to do.

I'm timing you, you take

nine million years.

If you get this sh*t on my

leather jacket, I will kill you.

[chuckles]

What?

I'm just happy

you're here.

Yeah, man.

Are you gonna put up posters

or something in here?

It's so... weird.

Uh, not yet.

Okay, what are we doing?

[chuckles]

Get your phone out.

Okay.

Okay, it was..

Are you recording?

Yeah. Wait, hold. There.

It was just up here

and it was making

a ton of noise

so, let's just..

[whispering]

You just wanna wait?

Yeah, just give it

a minute.

Or should we,

like, summon it

like, call its name?

[laughing]

Totally rando, but I

would pick Billy Corgan

over, like, any guy.

Hands down, seriously.

And my heart

Still loves you

Leah, don't worry.

I believe you.

I wouldn't be here

if I didn't.

Maybe I'm nuts

like Rob said.

Urgh! F*** Rob.

He's just jealous

'cause he likes you

and he knows

you're into Aaron.

What? No, I'm not.

Oh, my God. You two,

it's too f***ing obvious.

Uhh..

Why, did he

say something?

[chuckles]

Wondering.

Um, I will tell you

if you smoke

this joint with me.

Like, your mom moved,

like, most of the sh*t

but, like, all

the f***in' owls.

- Dude, they're everywhere.

- Yeah, I don't get it.

She put one

in your f***ing room.

So she says, she's just,

like, watching me.

- It's f***ed up.

- That sh*t creeps me out.

Not much creeps me out,

but that sh*t does.

I don't know what

it is about owls.

I don't know.

They can turn their heads

all the way around.

- And their eyes are huge.

- Where did you do it, by the way?

Over there in the woods.

Well, show me,

come on. Let's go.

No. It's way too dark out.

We'll use the f***ing

flashlight on my phone.

It's not that far, right?

What's the point?

Because I want to see it.

That's why I came up.

Come on, please?

Where are we going?

- This way?

- Yeah.

It's just a

little further.

- Watch out.

- Huh.

[gasp]

[exhales]

You see it?

Right up ahead.

- Oh, yeah. That?

- Yeah.

It's perfect.

[indistinct chatter]

- This, right?

- Yeah, right here.

- Ah..

- Right here.

Yeah, you're right.

It is really creepy

out here.

Yeah.

[trees creaking]

It's really scary.

Heh.

[trees creaking]

What are you doing?

[trees creaking]

Janice, stop that.

Hey, stop that.

[sighs]

Good.

[Leah sighs]

Janice?

Janice, what

are you doing? Stop.

Hey, where are you going?

Janice!

Janice!

Come back!

[sighs]

Janice?

[door creaking]

[sighs]

Janice!

Janice, this isn't

funny anymore.

[panting]

My God.

You're an a**hole!

I'm leaving.

Wait! Leah, wait!

I'm f***ing around.

You're so funny.

[Janice chuckling]

You are such a loser.

- What?

- I was just f***ing around.

It isn't funny.

I'm stoned.

I know, I'm sorry.

Well, okay, I think

I'm just gonna go to bed.

- I'm tired.

- Okay.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

Hey, I'm, I'm sorry. I was

just, like, f***ing around.

Hm. No, that's fine.

I'll... see you

in the morning.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Honey?

Honey?

Where's Janice?

It's so strange.

[scoffs]

Janice?

Janice?

Leah?

What is it?

My car.

[door opens]

Hey, Janice, are you okay?

Janice, unlock the door.

Janice, what's going on?

[whimpering]

- Please open the door.

- Hey.

- Take me home.

- What?

- Please, please.

- Janice.

- Take me home!

- Janice!

I just wanna go home!

You need

to open the door.

- Please.

- Please just unlock the door.

[Janice sobbing]

I'll get the keys.

Okay.

[sobbing]

Janice?

[sobbing]

Janice, what's wrong?

What happened?

[Janice sobbing]

I'll, I'll make you

something to eat.

You'll feel better.

No! I'm not, I'm not going

back inside that house!

- Hey...

- Don't touch me!

[Janice sobbing]

Okay, let's go.

[Janice sobbing]

Okay, take out your books

and pick up

where we left off.

Chapter two, part two.

From the paragraph

that starts with

"Evening was coming on

when he reached home."

Finish the chapter and

write a paragraph, uh..

[cell phone chimes]

[cell phone chimes]

[engine revving]

Oh, okay.

No, I really don't know. It

was the strangest thing.

I'm worried about her.

Yes, please, keep me

posted. Thank you.

Janice hasn't left

her bedroom.

Any luck?

I texted her all day,

and nothing.

[sighs]

She really scared me.

Do you know if she's

going through something?

No, I don't think so.

I got a call

from the gift shop

and they want me

to come in tomorrow.

I really wanna do this.

Please don't get mad.

Why would I get mad?

I won't be able to pick you

up from school tomorrow

so you'll have

to take the bus.

At first I thought no,

but it'll be good for you.

- What do you think?

- Okay.

- You'll be okay alone?

- Mm-hmm.

[dramatic music]

[sighs]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[sighs]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[laptop beeps]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[door shuts]

I was really f***ing

worried about you, man.

Like, are you okay? You weren't

answering any of my texts.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Well, what about Janice?

I haven't seen her since

she went up with you.

Look, I, I really

gotta go.

I'll just

talk to you later.

Leah, if I did something,

you'd tell me, right?

Yeah, I just really need

to go right now, okay?

I'm sorry.

A dark spirit

like Pyewacket

is very manipulative.

So am I right to assume

that during the ritual

you believed in it

as much as you believe

I'm talking to you

right now?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Then we have to assume

it's here.

You need to think

of it as a river.

Evil is simply waiting

across on the other side

and you used yourself

as a bridge

to bring them over

to your side.

And once they fulfill the

task you asked of them

they'll start hurting the

person they communicated with.

And that's you, Leah.

With black magic,

it's thrown back.

It starts with you

and it will end in you.

To undo this,

you need to perform

the exact,

the exact same ritual

in the same place,

but in reverse.

At every step,

you ask for forgiveness.

Leah, this is

very important.

You have to do this before

it gets to your mother

or it's too late.

Pyewacket

can take many forms

so don't trust

your lying eyes.

Hello?

Leah!

[breathing heavily]

F***.

[breathing heavily]

911. What is

your emergency?

[sobbing]

My mom just died.

[sobbing]

What is your name?

- I'm... I'm Leah Reyes.

- Okay.

- Everything's gonna be okay.

- Okay.

Can you just tell me

where you are

and exactly what happened

to your mother?

I don't know, I don't, I
