"Previously on the "secret circle"..." "What is that?" "A power totem." "Draws away weakness to intensify your strength." "Put this under your bed for a few weeks, and you'll be left with nothing but pure power." "I'm Eva, Lee's girlfriend." "You told me the devil's crack destroyed her." "But then she got better and came back here." "Look, Faye, it's complicated." "I came back from the dead for you." "You can't just dump me." "My name is Calvin Wilson." "You're in danger." "Remember this?" "I had a feeling you'd try to be a hero." "My son and your daughter are written in the stars." "Written in the stars isn't just destiny." "It's a curse." "Hi." "What?" "You're just so beautiful." "You wanna do some circle magic and try and stop time?" "Mm, well, that's tempting." "But then we'd be stuck in this bed forever." "We'd find something to do." "I keep thinking about the first time we did magic together..." "How it felt when you touched my hand." "I know." "Then after that, I just couldn't stop thinking about you..." "About..." "This." "So how's the real thing working for you?" "♪ The Secret Circle 01x17 ♪ Curse Original Air Date on March 22, 2012" "♪ Da, da, da, da, da ♪" "♪ da, da, da, da, da ♪" "♪ da-da, da-da, da-da ♪" "== sync, corrected by elderman ==" "My dark magic did this?" "Not your magic, you and Adam." "Us?" "How." "It's not like we were sitting around, casting dead bird spells." "No, I suspect you two were engaged in other activities." "Oh, God." "How could we have anything to do with this?" "What you did unleashed a curse." "What curse?" "The one placed on your 2 families a long time ago to stop the Blakes and the Conants from ever being together." "That's crazy." "Why do you think this?" "Your mother told me about it." "The birds are a harbinger, a sign that the curse has been activated." "You don't believe this is true, right?" "I--I don't know." "There's a hundred dead birds on my lawn." "Ok, but then why-- why would my dad make such a big deal about our destiny being connected, written in the stars?" "Maybe she didn't tell him." "I don't know the details of the curse, just that it scared your mother enough to drive her away." "The only other person she would have confided in is your grandmother." "My grandmother, she's not in good shape." "Well, we have to try." "Sooner we talk to her, the better, and in the meantime..." "Don't do anything to make it worse." "Lee." "Lee!" "Lee is out." "What are you doing here?" "I have a key, so I'm not breaking and entering like you are." "Did he talk to you yet?" "He said he was struggling with his feelings and needed time to think, and then he just took off." "That's not what he said last night." "And since when does Lee think?" "Guess you didn't know him as well as you thought." "Can you just go now?" "I'd like to be alone." "Lee!" "What are you doing?" "Lee." "I said go!" "What the hell?" "You are seriously psycho." "She threw it at my head." "The girl has serious anger issues." "Which girl?" "Faye had a run-in with Eva." "She almost killed me." "She claims Lee left town, but I think she did something to him." "Guy got stuck in between you and his ex at casino night." "You know, maybe he just bailed." "Then why is his car still there?" " He took a cab?" " No way." "He worships that car." "He thinks it makes him look badass." "We need to search it." "That's illegal, Faye." "Not if we don't get caught." "Are you sure this is about Eva?" " What did I just say?" " It's just..." "We both know how obsessed you can get about a guy." "Maybe you're overreacting." "You weren't there, Melissa." "Eva was hiding something from me behind those doll eyes and creepy voice." "When do I ever ask you two for help?" "Grandma." "Hey." "Amelia?" "No, it's Cassie, remember?" "Oh, of course, sweetheart." "Ohh." "Honestly, Amelia, why would you bring him here?" "Come on." "Let's go sit." "I--I wanted to ask you something important about the Conants and the Blakes... and a curse." "Why do you keep torturing yourself about this?" "I wish you would reconsider and tell Ethan." "It's too dangerous not to." "It's just I don't remember all the details." "Several generations ago, a seer witch cursed the Conants and the Blakes to stop them from ever coming together." "Why?" "Why would someone do that?" "Jealousy." "And what if a Conant and a Blake did get together?" "Please tell me you and Ethan didn't." "No." "Uh..." "But what if we did?" "Then you would awaken the curse, and you can never let that happen." "Why?" "Because if you awaken the curse, someone in your circle will die." "Who'd you piss off now?" "It was before our time." "A witch put a curse on our families." "What kind of curse?" "Apparently to keep our families from coming together." "Last night, we activated it." "Ohh." "So you two finally graduated from hand-holding and smooching." "Congrats." "What does that mean for any of us?" "It affects the whole circle." " How?" " My grandmother said that one of us might die." "No offense, but the last time I saw your grandma, she was a little" "Faye." "This is no joke." "I have been feeling kind of tired." "I wasn't feeling that great this morning." "Uh-uh." "No one is dying." "It's just a story your great-greats told their kids so they wouldn't have sex." "It's abstinence education at work." "Are you two coming?" "She's dealing with psycho-ex drama." "Yeah." "Faye's right." "No one's dying." "I still haven't heard from Jake." "I was knocking." "Have you been in bed all day?" "I think I'm coming down with something." "Had a fever all morning and weird dreams." "Hey." "What is that?" "I have no idea." "What?" "We need to talk." "It's a curse." "On our families." "If a Blake and a Conant..." "If a Blake and a Conant what?" "Uh..." "How am I dragged into this?" "The curse is someone in the circle could die." "Whatever it is, we will find a way to keep it from spreading." "Took a curse to figure out being with Adam was a colossal mistake?" "Hey." "I think I found the way to fix this." "This is a recipe for an elixir that Amelia tracked down." "I think this'll break the curse." "If she had an elixir, why didn't she use it?" " I don't know." " Who cares?" "Let's just do it." "These are rare ingredients." "But there is a, uh-- a dealer in town," "Calvin Wilson, owns an antiquities shop." "We must have something at the abandoned house." "My brother grew a lot of weird plants." "I think Calvin's our best option." "This is the first time you've invited me over since I saved your life." "Not even a thank-you card." "No, instead I decided to return the favor and save yours." "John Blackwell is alive and well and strutting around Chance Harbor." "Really?" "You're not surprised." "Well, I always had a nagging suspicion that his death was too good to be true." "Well, we need to deal with it." "Do we?" "It took you a week to tell me that John Blackwell had arisen from the dead, and I wouldn't be standing here unless you needed something, so what's wrong, Dawn?" "This homecoming didn't go as well as you'd always dreamed?" "I got a call from my source at the Landsdown Clinic." "Jane had a visitor today, Blackwell." "If Jane starts remembering things, it won't take him long to connect us to her and Henry." "Now, we are so close to getting our power back, but we need him on our side." "I'll never be on the same side as John Blackwell again." "Let's not forget who killed Amelia." "And if John figures that out, not even your precious little crystal will stop him from destroying you." "Hello?" "Hi." "We're here to see Calvin." "My Uncle's not here." "Do you know when he's going to be back?" "He's been missing for months." "I'm sorry to hear that." "But I'm sure I can help you." "This is what we need." "Come with me." "We have everything but lethe root." "It's very rare." "Does it grow around here?" "Used to, in Harbor Woods." "Might still be able to still find some if you, uh, go deep enough." "It mostly grows inside trees hollowed out by rot or age." "All right." "Cassie and I will go." "And we'll put the rest of the ingredients together and get the elixir ready." "I-I'll go with you." "I really want to make sure that we find this root." "Are you sure that's a good idea?" "If only you'd asked yourself that last night." "Let it go." "Calvin?" "Well?" "You coming or what?" "This is his." "Are you sure Eva's not home?" "You know what?" "I don't care." "Let's check the trunk." "That's where people hide dead bodies, right?" "♪ ...and make off like speedy Gonzales... ♪" "Lock, unlock." "♪ Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, think I'm on fire... ♪" "See?" "Just a bunch of voodoo stuff." "I don't think that's Lee." "♪ Don't make me hate this... ♪" "So can we go now?" "I need to check inside." "Bloody gloves, tools-- bet this car's filled with clues." "♪ Like this ♪" "Uhh." "Ow." "Oh, guys, guys." "Don't say or do anything stupid." "Like break into a car?" "Hello, officer." "Ladies, is this your car?" "It's mine." "It's mine." "Ok." "Let's see some registration." "We can explain." "Uh..." "Officer, do you mind if I talk to you, um, privately?" "Um, my friend is kind of a... distraught ex-girlfriend." "What is she doing?" "Landing us in jail." "We just kind of brought her here for some closure." "Why isn't she using the sexy card?" "She's--she's not psycho or anything." "I mean, everything's gonna be fine." "Maybe she needs a push." "But actually he didn't even lock the car, so technically we didn't even break in." "What were you thinking?" "It was Melissa's idea." "I'm sorry." "I thought it would work." "Do you want to lock-unlock our way out of here?" "At least we know that works." "And then what?" "We get shot in the back for fleeing from the scene of a crime?" "He's not gonna shoot us." "I don't think." "Just when I think it can't get any worse." "Ok, ladies." "You can go." "Thank you." "Yeah, thanks." "Don't worry about it." "Faye and I both care about Lee." "I understand how upset she feels." "He wouldn't just leave his car here." "He took his motorcycle." "I forgot about his motorcycle." "We're sorry for bothering you." "We'll leave you alone now, right, Faye?" "You two as cold as I am?" " Yes." " Yes." "Maybe we're all dying." "You know, you can still go back to town." "We don't mind at all." "And miss out on this amazing bonding opportunity?" "No." "So tell me, how was your first time?" "Was it sweet and romantic, or did little miss bad girl bring her nasty game?" "I don't care if you're sick." " No thanks to you, buddy." " Stop it." "Why are you doing this?" "Just trying to make conversation." "Shouldn't you be more excited to talk about this wondrous event?" "You're jealous." "Deep down, you know that it's you and me that should be together." "You're wrong." "I know you don't believe that." "Guys, let's go." "Hold on." "I need some water." "What the hell?" "What?" "What's wrong now?" "This." "It's a witch cruet." "Who put this in my bag?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "Did you get this from Calvin's?" "!" "Is this some kind of a sick joke?" "!" "I'm not a witch hunter anymore!" "Jake..." "This is not a witch cruet." "He's losing it." "Oh, he's burning up." "We have to hurry." "Just a minute." "Young lady, do you really want a job?" "Hello, Jane." "Yes, I do." "I do very much." "It's Dawn and Charles." "You remember us?" "You're Amelia's friends." "Yes." "That's right." "Amelia's not here." "She'll be back anytime." "Thank you, Jane, but we actually came to see you." "That should do it." "Jane, you had a visitor today, John Blackwell." "Yes." "What did you and John talk about?" "He doesn't look good." "What?" "It's just last night was so amazing." "I can't believe something so horrible happened because of us." "It's not our fault." "Blame the witch who cursed our families." "You ok, Jake?" "I'm fine." "Murderer." "Shut up." "Shut up." "Jake?" "You killed me, Jake." "Now I'll watch you die." "You stay away from me, Calvin." "What?" "It's me, Adam." "You turned me to ash." "Now you're going to burn." "I was just doing what the witch hunters told me to do." "You enjoyed it." "You're a killer." "I had no choice!" "Stop it!" "I had no choice!" "No!" "Cassie, Cassie, no!" "Cassie, no!" "No dark magic!" "Focus on me." "Look at me." "Are you ok?" "Yeah." "Are you?" "Yeah." "He thought I was Calvin Wilson." "I know." "Jake killed him." "Is this what you're looking for?" "It's perfect." "Thank you." "I'm impressed you get costus root to grow in this climate." "I put a UV light on it at night." "Good instincts." "Nick showed me a few things." "I guess I'm a fast learner." "Ok, I'm gonna need some ash to strengthen this." "I'll get some from the fireplace." "Thanks." "You know, a coffee grinder would be a lot faster." "Very creative... like your mother." "I didn't realize you knew her that well." "Oh, yeah, we spent hours in these woods." "She showed me all the plants with medicinal properties, and..." "You meant the world to her." "Got it." "Looks like you'll live, Jake." "Dealing with Jake's past was easier when I didn't know it, but I knew Calvin." "Calvin was trying to help me when Jake killed him." "You're not the reason he's dead, Cassie." "That's on Jake." "Thank you." "You know, for bringing me back before I hurt Jake... more." "Using dark power is getting too easy." "But you stopped..." "And that's because you and me are stronger than dark magic or any of this." "Bitch." "Get away from that." "Nice bike." "Is this the one Lee rode out of town on?" "Fine." "You don't want to talk to me, let's get that cop back here." "No!" "You have magic." " Are you a witch?" " No." "What did Lee do to you?" "He brought me back from the brink of death." "What don't you get about that?" "What's wrong with you?" "He gave you my power." "Not everything is about you." "This is, I swear." "Lee used 2 voodoo totems-- one to take my power, and one to save you-- but then he broke my totem, and he messed everything up." "So this is your power?" "Yes, and you're not supposed to have it." "This is all Lee's fault." "That's why he ran." "You're a witch?" "Yes." "Then maybe you can help me make things right." "Absolutely." "I did something with your magic." "But if I used your power to do it, you can help me bring him back." "You killed him." "With your magic, so fix him." " I can't." " Why not?" "He's dead!" "You're a witch." "Do a spell." "Bring him back to life." "I'm not God, Eva." "I can't just make someone live." "I unlock locks, and I cheat at cards, and I get hot pizza guys, and I can't even do any of that without someone helping me." " You're lying." " I'm not." "What you're asking for is impossible." "I didn't ask for any of this." "I don't want your magic." "I just want Lee back." "I'm sorry, but he's gone." "What are you doing?" "Stop!" "Stop." "Stop it!" "Then help me bring back Lee." "Ok." "Ok." "I can't guarantee this is gonna save him." "Thank you for your guidance, for everything." "There's something you need to know." "Ok, we both need to, um... kneel on either side of Lee's body." "Are you sure this is gonna work?" "You said it was impossible." "That was just my lack of self-confidence talking, but I gave myself a quick pep talk, and I'm feeling much better now, so let's... raise the dead." "Are you messing with me?" "Eva, I'm a very, very powerful witch." "You should know that better than anyone." "You've got my power coursing through your veins." "Ready?" "Place your hands on the bed... and concentrate." "Close your eyes." "I need you to chant with me." "Memento moriotum." "Memento moriotun." "Otum." "If you don't say it right, it'll never work." "Memento moriotum." "Wait." "I completely forgot." "Candles." "We need candles." "Do you have any?" "Do you want to save Lee or not?" "You lying bitch." "There is no spell, is there?" "All you wanted was this." "Uhh!" "This is all your fault." "Lee would still be alive if he hadn't met you." "What am I doing?" "What do you think you're doing?" "I don't know." "I can't feel the power anymore." "That's a good thing." "Trust me." "I didn't mean to kill Lee." "I loved him so much." "Is that it?" "Yeah." "Well, let's give it to him and go." "It's not for Jake." "It's for us." "Because we're at the heart of the curse, we're the ones who have to drink it." "What?" "There's more." "That lethe root, when we drink this, we'll forget how we feel about each other." "There's no way." "No." "No, we'll remember everything, even that we loved each other." "We just won't remember why, and we won't be in love." "That's crazy." "I'm not gonna do it." "There's no other way to break the curse." "Oh, so we're gonna destroy us to save a killer." "If we let him die, then we're the killers, we're just like him." "No." "Cassie, being with you is more important than anything." "We don't have a choice." "Cassie..." "There is no elixir that can ever let me forget how much I love you." "Not for long." "I swear." "I know." "You saved my life." "I helped." "Was I hallucinating, or did Adam and Cassie just destroy their relationship..." "For me?" "You don't think you're worth the sacrifice?" "I know I'm not." "You're 1 of 6." "You matter." "They don't know me." "I killed Calvin." "Well, that's in the past." "I wish it was, but the look on Cassie's face when she found out..." "I'm surprised that she didn't let me die." "I understand... more than you know." "But a man can change." "You really believe that?" "I do." "Morning." "Hey." "How do you feel?" "Weird." "Weird how?" "Like I'm not... nervous." "Nervous?" "When are you ever nervous?" "When I'm around you." "And when I think about you and when I wonder if I'm good enough for you." "I don't feel that way right now." "I feel..." "Good." "Good's good." "Look, I love seeing you, love being here, and I definitely want to come back and watch the rest of "Game of Thrones" with you, but I don't, um..." ""Love me."" "This is strange." "I guess--guess that elixir worked." "I mean..." "Do you feel that way, too?" "Exactly." "I remember every minute we spent together..." "But like it was in a movie... someone else's amazing movie." "That's totally it." "Maybe being written in the stars didn't mean what we thought it did." "Maybe we're not the dating kind of soul mates." "Yeah." "You were right." "Breaking the curse, that was the most important thing." "We saved Jake's life." "I have to open the boathouse." "Can we just talk later?" "Absolutely." "Bye." "She was so crazy." "And so alone." "I'm so sorry we didn't believe you." "I'm still kind of having trouble believing it." "And yet you still came with me to help break into a car." "Thanks." "I still remember everything." "I still love him." "I'm sorry." "But he doesn't love me." "Your power must be too strong." "The elixir only worked on Adam." "You know, I don't feel very strong right now." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "I had no idea." "He doesn't love me anymore." "Don't worry, Cassie." "You're going to be ok." "Who knows what might happen between you and Adam?" "Yeah." "I, um" "I think..." "Think I just need to be alone." "Of course." "But I won't be far, not ever again." "Who are you?" "It's me, Jane." "Charles, you scared me." "It's late." "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to make you better." "I'm here to help you so that you can help me destroy John Blackwell." "I saw Jane Blake today." "How nice for her." "There's no such thing as a Blake-Conant curse." "Amelia would have told me." "But you still got Jane to say there was, to lie." "You manipulated her with magic, didn't you?" "I told you I don't have" "John, I know you still have power, just like I knew you weren't dead." "You scheming son of a bitch." "You're driving Adam and Cassie apart because you're afraid of their destiny..." "Just like you were afraid of Amelia and Ethan." "Yes, and did you know that Ethan and Amelia's love was so important, they wanted out of the circle?" "He left the boat that day to run away with her, and their absence left you totally defenseless against the witch hunters." "That massacre never would have happened had the circle worked together." "So you do have magic." "Not enough to protect Cassie if her circle's destroyed." "My magic can fake a curse, kill birds, spell Jane, put Jake through agony, but I can't stop all the witch hunters." "The hunters are back?" "And they're using magic, which means one of us is working with them." "I didn't know." "Don't question me again, Dawn." "You know you don't want me as an enemy."
