The Covenant

---

What's up, fellas?

Where were you?

I stopped by to give you a lift.

Had things to do. How's the party?

Don't know. Just got here.

Well, hell, boys...

...let's drop in.

Oh, sh*t, yeah.

Tyler!

Come on, Caleb.

It's not like it's gonna kill us...

...yet.

So give me the scoop. Who's here?

The first thing you have to know

is that Aaron Abbot is a prick.

- Treats girls like dirt.

- Okay.

- Who's that?

- The new guy.

He's looking over here.

Don't know much about him,

but I intend to find out.

He's cute.

- Hey, who's that chick with Kate?

- Sarah something.

She transferred in

from a Boston public.

She's kind of hot.

- Yo, Caleb.

- They're here.

- Who are they?

- The Sons of lpswich.

- Hey, Kate.

- Caleb.

- Hi. You're late.

- I had a thing with the family.

- Who's this?

- My new roommate.

Sarah, this is Pogue Parry,

Tyler Simms...

...Reid...

- Garwin. Reid Garwin.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

You know,

Sarah's my grandmother's name.

- You kind of remind me of her.

- Caleb Danvers.

And you don't bring

my grandmother to mind in any way.

Good. Sarah.

- Hey, Caleb.

- Kira.

How was your summer?

- I'm Kira.

- Sarah.

Oh, right. From the Boston public.

Tell me, how does one go about

getting into Spenser from a public?

- Why don't you give it a rest, Kira?

- Why don't you give it a rest?

- I don't want any trouble, Aaron.

- I'm sure you don't.

You posers make me wanna puke.

- Is that right?

- Hey, let it go.

I think you owe Kira an apology.

Actually, I think

Kira owes Sarah the apology.

You were being kind of bitchy.

Disgusting! You idiot!

Guys, Dylan just called.

He said he saw three cop cars

headed this way on Old Dell Road.

- Hey, let's roll!

- Let's go.

- Let's go, boys.

- Let's go!

- You need a ride?

- No, Sarah drove us out here.

- Will I see you back at the dorms?

- It's getting late. I'm just gonna crash.

Call me in the morning?

- I could use a lift.

- No problem.

- Hey, nice going back there. Caleb.

- Chase.

Thought that guy and I

were about to go at it.

His friend's puking

sure came at an opportune time.

Didn't it, though?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hop in my truck.

- Good night.

- I got room. Who needs a ride?

Hey, guys, let's go.

We gotta go before the cops come.

Sarah wants you, man.

- That's bullshit.

- Oh, now. Don't be jealous, Reid.

- My car won't start!

- Hop in with us.

- I can't just leave it here!

- I could fix it for you.

- Reid, don't.

- It's not over yet, boys.

Let it go. It's his life, man.

Try it again.

Thank you!

- Gotta bolt. Move over.

- It's my car.

Move over, baby boy. Now!

No sweat.

We gotta pull over.

You wanna stop?

That'll impress Harvard.

All right, what the hell?

Let's lose them.

Cut across Marblehead.

We might as well have some fun.

Lose them!

- Step on it. Go!

- Stupid kids.

All right, guys, you ready?

Come on, Caleb.

It's gonna take all of us.

Hey, they don't know.

Hit the horn. Hit the horn!

- Holy sh*t, they're going over.

- Harry Potter can kiss my ass!

Stop the car! Stop the car!

Son of a b*tch.

We must be the last ones in.

Well, this is us.

- Just a sec.

- Oh, my God!

- Hate those things.

- And they're all over the place here.

Thank you.

See? Chivalry's not dead after all.

No, it just transferred in.

We're gonna go into town

tomorrow for some things.

- Do you need to pick up any stuff?

- Sure.

I'm in 311. Call me.

Okay.

- He's hot, huh?

- Listen to you.

- Thanks for the ride.

- All right. Take it easy.

- I'll see you later, man.

- Call me in the morning.

You're home early.

It's after midnight, Mother.

What are you still doing up?

Thinking about my baby

turning 18 this week.

God. You look so much

like him in this light.

You know, he was a year younger

than you when we met.

Did I ever tell you that?

Yeah. You've told me.

Now, let's get you up to bed.

So handsome.

He was the most beautiful man

I'd ever seen.

I'm so afraid I'll lose you

like I did him.

How many times do I need to tell you

that I'm not him?

That's the same thing

he said about his father.

You know, these powers...

...that you and your friends developed

when you were 13...

...are nothing compared with

what you'll get when you ascend.

They are 1000 times stronger.

Caleb.

They are so seductive.

You'll suddenly think...

...the world is yours for the taking.

And then you really start to use...

...and use...

...aging each time.

Taking bits of your life...

...until there is nothing left.

- I won't.

That's what he said.

I can't lose you both.

I won't survive it this time.

I won't.

So why do you call them

"the Sons of lpswich"?

What are they? Like, a boy band?

You know what? I like you.

You're funny.

Not like all the other

stuck-up b*tches.

No. They're supposedly descendants

of five families...

...that settled the lpswich Colony

in the 1600s.

Old money.

Caleb and Reid were both

checking you out tonight.

If it were me, I'd go for Caleb.

Why?

He's just one of those

majorly good guys.

Well, how do you mean?

He could stay here

and party with the rest of us...

...but he stays at home

to take care of his mom.

What's wrong with her?

After Caleb's dad died,

she became a bit of an alcoholic.

So is he seeing anyone?

So we are interested.

- So who's the fifth?

- Fifth what?

Well, you said five families.

They say the fifth was killed

during the witch-hunt.

- What?

- Cool, huh?

Or creepy.

Couldn't see nothing but their taillights

in the damn fog.

But I swear to God...

...it sure seemed like

they went right off the damn cliffs.

What you were

probably looking at...

...were the aircraft warning lights

on the Marblehead lighthouse.

Captain, we have a suspect vehicle

with occupant back near the Dells,

Respond and advise,

We tried to wake him,

but he's passed out cold.

Doors are all locked.

Go ahead and call it in.

We're gonna need a tow.

Hey, kid!

Open up!

Give me your flashlight.

Break out the rear window.

Son.

Somebody there?

Hello?

Hello?

- Oh, my God.

- Didn't mean to scare you.

- Oh, my God.

- Just got back.

Sorry. I'm just a little freaked out.

It felt like someone was watching me

in the showers.

Let's take a look, shall we?

It's okay.

Don't see anyone.

- I'll catch you later, then.

- Yeah, see you.

- What makes you think it was Reid?

- It's always him,

I've never felt it when one of us

used The Power. Have you?

No. I don't know, maybe it's because

you're so close to ascending.

I don't know. Maybe.

I'm telling you, it was strong enough

to wake me out of a dead sleep.

He's only using his powers

to piss you off...

...because he's jealous

you're ascending first, man.

I'm telling you, just... Jesus!

Caleb?

What's going on, Caleb? Pick up,

Caleb, pick up the phone, man,

Caleb, what's going on?

I just saw a darkling.

It was in the form of that dead kid

they found at the Dells.

I saw his picture this morning

in the newspaper.

- But who'd send you a darkling?
