Go away.
Help!
GIRL: No! Go... Don't be afraid.
GIRL: Put me down!
GIRL: No! My parents.
SISTER: Silence!
Our guests will be here shortly.
You don't want them to find you clacking like little mice.
Class...
I want you to meet our new student.
This is Lilly White.
She'll be joining your class and boarding with you. So, please,
make her feel welcome.
STUDENTS: Hello, Lilly.
Hi.
FATHER: Now, uh...
Go find a seat...
And after class you can check out your room and unpack.
You can sit next to us.
LILLY: Thanks.
I'm Cally and this is Morgan.
MORGAN: Hi. LILLY: Hi.
Don't worry about the snob squad.
When they were born, they got attitude instead of feelings.
Ah, my guests have arrived.
Thank you for showing them, Joseph.
JOHNNY: Sorry we're late.
Oh, yeah. Traffic was a bit,
uh, bad.
Um... Traffic was very bad.
Well, I don't think we could have kept them detained much longer.
They really seem eager to learn about jazz.
That's great.
Hi. Hello.
Hi, I'm Johnny Domino, and this is Raleigh Jordan.
Hey.
JOHNNY: I'm here to talk to you about jazz.
And Raleigh's gonna help out by letting you hear
what I'm talking about.
JOHNNY: We hope you'll get a better understanding of what makes jazz,
jazz.
And, uh, it beats way through chemistry.
I like the way through his chemistry.
JOHNNY: There's one important difference between, let's say,
classical music and jazz.
With classical...
The music is more important than the performance.
But with Jazz, it's the music and the performance that makes it special.
Whats that?
JOHNNY: First time I heard a jazz tune, I was hooked...
Can I see it?
JOHNNY: The more I listened the more I learned.
The important thing to playing any instrument is...
JOHNNY: ...is to relax and have fun.
So how many of you play musical instruments?
GIRL: I do.
GIRL: Ahem. Girl 2: I do not.
Good.
No! My parents.
SISTER: Remember, Lilly,
supper is promptly at 5:30.
You are required to attend all masses and school activities.
You may not put anything on your walls
without Father Michael's or my approval.
You will observe strict personal hygiene at all times.
And there is no music allowed after supper.
Any questions, Lilly?
No, Sister.
Yes, Father? Welcome, child.
Uh... Welcome.
CALLY: So, what do you think of Father Timothy?
He teaches classics.
Latin, Greek...
He's a little bit eccentric, but...
MORGAN: Totally whacked, is more like it.
We heard Aggie laying down the law to you.
Don't let her get to you.
I'm used to rules.
You know, what they said about you being in a funny farm?
Yeah, but I didn't expect it to get around until at least the second day.
CALLY: You're wearing a pentagram?
Is that why they put you away?
Or did they, like, think you're in league with Lucifer or something?
Or did they try to exorcise the evil spirits?
No, but I really don't want to talk about it.
CALLY: Sorry. We didn't mean to pry.
We don't even believe in
Lucifer, or Satan, or the devil.
CALLY: We believe in...
The Goddess.
LILLY: Excuse me?
MORGAN: You know...
The Goddess.
The personification of deity.
MORGAN: Our universal mother?
Wicca?
Wicca.
So, you're witches?
We thought you might be sympathetic to the cause
seeing as how you're wearing a pentagram.
Look, I hate to burst your bubble, but,
I've had this ever since I was born.
I think my mother may have given it to me.
Whoever she is...
Wherever she is.
MORGAN: Oh...
Uh, so you're like an orphan?
Well, that's okay. You can hang with us.
You can join our coven.
CALLY: Morgan, technically, we do not have a coven.
You need at least three withches to make a coven.
Yeah, well, she can be our third.
So, come on, what do you say?
Thanks, but no thanks.
CALLY: We could teach you to do love spells.
I saw the way you were looking at Johnny Domino.
What if you could make him fall in love with you?
Look, I know that you both mean well, but...
Really...
I am not interested.
Oh, how do you know if you don't even try?
No!
FATHER MICHAEL: Lilly White.
A name that contradicts her past.
JOHNNY: Why, what's her story?
She was abandoned as a baby.
A construction worker found her lying in a forest in Southern Ireland.
An American family, the Whites, adopted her,
took her to their home in Ohio.
They died, tragically, soon after.
She was placed with foster family after foster family,
and tragedy always seemed to follow her.
Poor Lilly reached her breaking point a year ago
when her last set of foster parents died
in a fire.
And fearing she would do harm to herself, she was
sent away for some rest.
You mean committed to a mental institution?
Yes.
Now we're trying to provide her with a caring and stable environment, but...
Re-building trust and hope in a person
that's had their whole life continually ripped apart is quite a challenge.
Her music
is the only true consistency in her life.
She's quite a talented pianist.
Well, if there's anything I can do to help...
There just might be.
We have a mentor program here,
and she is interested in music as a profession.
You could
teach her about what you do, show her where your work,
or just listen.
If you're up for the challenge.
Sure.
That was good.
What else do you know?
Now that was great.
Thank you.
Uh... You bounced around the country so much...
How do you find time to practice?
I just do it. It's the only thing I have any real control over.
And this is my medallion.
Whoa... You wear this all the time?
It's so heavy.
Yeah.
Hey, John.
JOHNNY: Oh... Uh, hey, Briony.
Picking up strays again?
I gave up on wild things, and found a man I can depend on.
Meet, Charlie. Mwah.
Ooh, I get it.
Something you can train.
Well, you can train a man too, but who has that kind of time.
Oh, uh, Lilly, this is, uh, Briony, and, uh...
Charlie.
BRIONY: Hi.
Oh, hey, don't stop because of me.
LILLY: I have to get back. Sister Agnes is really strict about curfew.
Mmm. I remember what that was like.
How old are you
Sixteen.
LILLY: Could we do this again?
Sure, anytime.
Really? Thank you.
See you later. Bye.
Hey...
Mwah.
Somebody has a crush on you.
Yeah, I know. Dogs love me.
CALLY: You have passed the test.
Are you ready to swear fealty to the craft?
LILLY: I am.
CALLY: Then pronounce now the oath of the dedicant as I have told you.
I, Lilly White,
in the presence of the almighty ones,
do freely and solemnly swear,
that I will ever be true to the craft.
That I shall follow the rule
to the best of my ability,
that I won't reveal the secrets of the craft.
That I shall help, protect, and defend
my sisters and brothers of the craft.
This, I swear on my life.
And may my tools be turned against me
if I break this.
My solemn oath.
I know you with wine.
I know you with my lips.
Now, take this chalice...
And silently chant the magical words
as you drink.
Echo, echo...
Are you all right?
LILLY: Yeah, I guess so.
Oh, that was totally freaky.
Haven't you ever wondered where that came from?
Of course I've wondered.
CALLY: I mean...
Morgan and I have been doing this for almost two years.
And I've never seen anything like that.
MORGAN: What if you're the real thing?
What do you mean?
Have you ever tried any spells or anything?
No.
See that spoon on the desk?
Try moving it
by using just your mind.
LILLY: Right, so I'll just use the force?
Uh, come on.
Try it.
I dare you.
Ooh, I guess that I have to do it then?
I'm doing it!
I'm doing it.
How is this possible?
There's something so sad about her.
As if she's out of place.
If we could find out where she came from,
who her mother was or is,
we can figure out where she belongs.
Let me work on it.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to Father Michael again.
I'll be...
You're right.
The Church did try to take charge of the infant.
But only because there was no Irish family willing to adopt her.
There are a lot of superstitious folks in that part of the world, and...
A baby left abandoned in a haunted forest was
too much for them, I suppose.
Haunted forest?
I visited there once.
Didn't seem, uh,
haunted to me.
But the locals are scared to death of the place.
It has something to do with an old
Celtic legend.
You know, Father Timothy is something of an expert, if you are interested?
Yes, I am.
Well, I'm sure he's retired for the night, but, uh...
Come back tomorrow, if you like?
Okay, thanks.
Oh, and Mister Domino...
I give you fair warning...
He might talk your leg off.
Thank you.
Ah, come on.
What's happening?
We're floating up.
Jut think happy thoughts.
I've never felt so free.
FATHER TIMOTHY: The myth of the enchanted forest
comes to us mainly from Celtic sources.
Briefly put, it goes something like this...
Now, all of their druid nobility was extinct except for one,
a beautiful queen named Airmed.
But the witches tricked her.
They convinced her to mate with Dagda,
the great-horned God.
Now, you'll have to picture him as seven-feet tall
with reddish skin, all leathery-like...
JOHNNY: A real looker, huh? FATHER TIMOTHY: Indeed.
FATHER TIMOTHY: Must have had a grand personality.
Be that as it may,
the queen gave birth to a little girl, a beautiful baby.
The witches tried to claim her,
but the queen hid her inside of a tree.
One of the very same trees in the little forest where Lilly was found.
So, none of the locals wanted to adopt her
because they thought she was some kind of evil druid princess?
Precisely.
Tonight's the night.
Tonight's what night?
CALLY: The night you go back to The House of Soul
and make Johnny Domino fall in love with you.
LILLY: You're crazy.
Sister Agnes will never let me stay out that late.
Forget about Sister Agnes.
You're beyond her rules now.
I don't have anything to wear anyway.
I have the perfect dress for you to borrow.
SISTER AGNES: Attention, class!
It seems as though our new student, Miss White,
doesn't know about our cheating policy.
SISTER AGNES: Lilly...
Did you know
our policy? LILLY: No, Sister.
Ignorance of the rules is no excuse.
However,
since this is your first offense,
I'll simply fail you on this test.
But let this be a warning to you.
Yes, Sister.
I will not tolerate corruption,
or incompetence...
But Sister Agnes, it was my fault!
Nor will I tolerate insubordination.
* I shouldn't love you But I do
* 'Cause you got me spellbound
* Got me spellbound
* Got me spellbound, baby, yeah
* When you use your power
* We go by the hour
* Once you light that candle

* I'll do anything you want
* 'Cause you got me spellbound
* Uh-huh
* You give me some Sweet thunder
* Since you brought me under
* La-la, la-la
* I shouldn't want you But I do
* 'Cause you've got me Spellbound
* Got me spellbound
* Baby, yeah, yeah
Special delivery from the office of the diocese, father.
Oh...
Thank you, Joseph. Uh, God bless you.
Goodnight, Joseph.
I knew it.
I knew it!
Oh, God.
Water, please.
LILLY: Buy me a drink, sailor.
Lilly, uh...
So, what does a girl have to do to get noticed around here?
Um...
That's a nice dress.
What are you doing here?
Well, you said that we should see each other again,
so, here I am. See.
And a strawberry daiquiri, please.
Virgin.
That's a little presumptuous, isn't it?
Lilly...
You're a sweet girl.
And you're gonna be a beautiful woman someday.
But you're sixteen, and...
I'm not.
What does age have to do with anything?
Are you afraid of going to jail or something?
BRIONY: Did I miss the show?
No, no. You remember Lilly?
Uh, sure.
Wow, nice dress.
Thanks.
So, how did you manage to get the nun's permission to let you stay out so late?
What is she, a truant officer?
Uh, actually, I'm a cop.
And this club is 21 and over.
LILLY: So, what are you gonna do, arrest me?
BRIONY: I just came for the music.
JOHNNY: Uh...
Please, we're all friends here.
I don't want your rose.
I want you!
Lilly, um...
What we want,
and what we need are different things.
Let her go, John. She's embarrassed.
I better make sure she gets home safe.
Lilly!
Stop! Just leave me alone!
Johnny, watch out!
Let me go, you psycho!
MAN: It's not nice to call people names,
especially when they have a knife against your throat.
You don't have a knife against my throat.
LILLY: What do you want from me?
MAN: But first...
I'll be taking this.
No!
MAN: I've worked a long time for this, little girl.
Nothing is going to stop me now!
JOHNNY: I'm not going to hurt you.
Sister!
SISTER AGNES: Miss White.
Before you say anything I just want to say that you were right.
I broke curfew and it was wrong.
And rules are meant to protect me and I know that now.
And I'll never disobey you again.
SISTER AGNES: Well...
It seems as though you've already learned your lesson.
I have. I have.
However,
you put the reputation of this school in serious jeopardy.
Flagrantly flaunting yourself,
cavorting with
immoral people.
Strutting into a saloon...
Like the whore of Babylon.
LILLY: How do you know that?
Oh, that's not important.
"The whore of Babylon?"
Damn sure, they're giving it to her.
Cally, this is all our fault.
I think it's time we have a talk with Father Michael.
Come on.
LILLY: I thought we were going to see Father Michael?
We are.
After you, my dear.
RALEIGH: From what I can tell, Father Michael was telling the truth.
The Catholic church didn't know who the mother was.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Stop the press!
What?
Guess who first petitioned for adoption back in Ireland?
Father Michael.
I knew he was holding something back.
Looks like he's holding a lot back.
I am coming across some very interesting information about your priest friend.
MORGAN: I'm not going.
We have to.
Lilly's our sister.
A member of our coven. We can't let her go through this alone.
What if they found out she's a witch?
No!
Let go.
Joseph, please see that Father Michael gets that immediately.
They'll think we're witches too.
We are.
No, we're not.
We're pretend witches.
Has one of our spells ever worked?
Ever?
Lilly's the one with all the powers.
She can handle it.
We got her into this mess.
And we are gonna get her out of it.
Yeah.
You got an ID on this floater?
All right, turn him over.
BRIONY: A priest.
SISTER AGNES: Ah, here we are!
All right. What are we looking for now?
Personnel files from the local diocese on Father Michael.
What the...
Check out the official photo ID for him?
JOHNNY: If that's Father Michael,
then who's the guy we met?
Father Michael?
FATHER MICHAEL: Oh, my Lilly.
I've been making such wonderful plans for you for such a long time.
Let me go. I won't tell anyone.
Just please let me go.
This is your new home, darling.
Yes.
And isn't it...
Cozy?
You can just feel the history of this place.
Please, Father Michael.
Oh, I'm not really Father Michael.
No, no, no, no, no.
I became him when he, uh,
tried to kill me.
He died...
Slowly.
CALLY: We have to do something.
Plenty of time to tell me all about you.
Last queen of the druids.
Daughter of Airmed, daughter of Dagda the great Horned-God.
God, you're crazy!
I told you...
It's not nice to be calling people names,
especially when they have a knife against your throat.
LILLY: You don't have... A knife against your throat?
Fear becomes you, my dear.
They're going to kill her.
No, they're not.
Not if we can stop them.
You go for help, anyone, it doesn't matter.
I'll try to figure something out.
Okay.
What if they get you too?
Just go.
MORGAN: Somebody! Some...
MORGAN: Can anybody help us!
Whats the problem? Oh, please don't hurt me!
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm here to help Lilly. Where is she?
Would you like to know
a secret, Lilly?
Huh?
I, uh...
I killed your parents.
The Whites, the Reeses, the Snyders...
And, oh, yes...
BOTH: The O'Learys.
Why?
For you, my queen.
So you would know the dark side.
And I have waited,
patiently,
for so long just...
Waiting...
For you to recognize your own power!
I thought that, maybe,
I could share in that power.
That if I wore the medallion after you'd activated it,
that that power
would be mine!
But I was wrong.
The medallion has no power.
The power
is in
you.
You will use your power for us.
Your brother and sister of the craft.
What makes you think I wouldn't use it against you even if I did have it?
Because you and your little friends took an oath
to defend us with your life.
Lest your own powers be used against you.
FATHER MICHAEL: If you won't co-operate with us,
you'll just have to spend the rest of your life down here.
Until the day you do decide to help willingly.
And you will.
Until then, I have another plan.
You remember, during you're, uh,
rest...
The doctors kept giving you drugs
and hypnotizing you to help you remember things.
What were the words they used to put you to sleep, Lilly?
I know someone will find me.
I know they will.
Nobody knows this place exists, darling.
I do.
And others are coming.
That
was a mistake!
Lilly...
My favorite group is Bobby Grape.
Oh...
Thank you, Father Michael!
What are you doing to her?
Lilly...
Someone wants to hurt you and she's right over there.
You'll have to stop her.
CALLY: Stop!
JOHNNY: Father Michael...
You've changed.
Joseph!
Ooh, that's got to hurt.
CALLY: No one leaves after curfew!
SISTER AGNES: Someone, let me out!
Please, please help me!
Oh, shut up!
Yeah!
JOHNNY: Now...
You got any more tricks?
Just one last trick.
If you'll indulge me.
CALLY: What's happening?
Who has dared summon the master?
It was I.
My Lord Dagda...
Your ever faithful servant.
FATHER MICHAEL: I have enemies here I wish you to destroy.
They threaten your daughter's life.
He's lying!
DAGDA: Silence!
Only she could have summoned me here,
yet you wear her token?
That's right.
Your poor daughter is, uh,
ill...
FATHER MICHAEL: So I wear the token.
And I've taken over as king of the druids.
DAGDA: Ah, then I am your servant.
How would you like me to dispose of them, my liege?
Uh, you choose.
But, uh...
The more painful the better.
CALLY: No, he's the bad one.
DAGDA: I suppose I could charge them with the wrath of hell,
or perhaps just turn them inside out.
Anything you choose, fine by me.
I think the wrath of hell.
The medallion was a token of my affection for her mother.
Not an amulet of power and ruin.
DAGDA: Only a fool thinks he can command the gods.
Only the king of fools would dare take captive the daughter of a God!
Do you know who I am, child?
My father.
You mortals think because I have horns and red skin,
that I am, what you call, evil.
Evil exists in the human mind.
Please...
Have mercy.
If my daughter wishes it.
Yes, spare him.
DARDA: Very well.
But I will leave with him the fear he gave to you.
And you...
Night Man.
He came to my rescue.
DAGDA: I have heard tell of your friend.
Keep your vigilance
and watch over her.
Can I go with you to my mother?
MORGAN: No, you can't go.
We're like sisters.
Your place is here.
Your mother is here.
She's all around you.
Whenever you feel the wind blow your hair,
or caress your cheek,
it is her expressing her love for you.
I'll make sure she's looked after.
There you see...
Everything is right with the world because
someone like you is keeping harmony.
I must go.
LILLY: I love you, Daddy.
DAGDA: I love you too.
DAGDA: And Night Man
shall be your protector.
