"[girl narrating] Once upon a time in a deep, dark forest lived the Great Witch of the Woods." "She was a fearsome, powerful creature who ate nothing but the wayward children foolish enough to wander into her forest." "To lure them close enough so that she could eat them, she constructed a beautiful house made out of gingerbread and candy." "To the Great Witch of the Woods, we bring you a soul to protect." "The terror of the Great Witch of the Woods could only be defeated by descendants of a long bloodline of witch slayers." "And one day, two slayers would finally emerge worthy of the challenge." "They would be twins." "Bring me more children." "I'm still hungry." "[school bell ringing]" "Break it up." "[groaning]" "Why?" "This is your third fight this semester." "Do you want to get kicked out of school?" "Mom said Dad's furious." "Adam's not our dad." "Not if you keep this up." "[sighs] Come on." "Let's go." "[engine starts]" "Are you sure I can't change your mind?" "I can't let him go alone." "He needs me." "Lebkuchen-Haus Academy." "This is one of most prestigious private schools in the country." "Presidents, vice presidents, CEOs..." "Your father had to pull a lot of strings to get you in this school." "You mean Adam had to pull a lot of strings." "If it was so important to him, he should've been here." "I'm serious, Jonah." "This is a real opportunity for you." "Don't blow it." "You take care of yourself." "You, too, Allyson." "Ella, you keep an eye on your brother, okay?" "You know I will." "If he gives you any trouble" "I will." "All right." "Call anytime." "[engine starts]" "Here we are." "Splendid." "So you must be Jonah and Ella." "I'm Mr. Sebastian, the headmaster here at Lebkuchen-Haus Academy." "It is very nice to meet you both." "Thank you." "Can I help you with your bags?" "That's fine." "I've got it." "How about the grand tour?" "Your father spoke very highly of you two." "I look forward to challenging you here in many ways." "Our academic program here was ranked the highest in the nation." "Our graduates have gone on to Harvard, Princeton, and Yale." "In fact, 25% of last year's graduating class went on to an Ivy League school." "Our baseball team was first in the nation three years in a row." "We're very proud of that." "I don't play." "You don't play baseball?" "Well, that's okay." "I'm sure we'll find something that interests you here." "It was lucky to have a spot open up when it did." "While the majority of our students come from high-income families like yourself, we also pride ourselves with our outreach program, offering a complete scholarship to those worthwhile individuals who need it." "In fact, most of our recipients are actually orphans." "Jonah?" "I was right." "You have found something to pique your interests." "[laughs]" "Let me show you to your dormitory." "You must be the roommate of the month." "Sorry?" "Seems like they're always sending the new kids in here." "Apparently I don't play well with others." "Charles." "Jonah." "Nice to meet you." "So what brings you to Salem?" "Fighting." "Relax, dude." "I'm not gonna hit you." "What about you?" "Scholarship." "Our "world-famous outreach program"" "benefitting the best and brightest of the less fortunate." "They should call it "drippings for the poor."" "Well, I don't think it gets any easier just 'cause you're rich." "You know who says stuff like that?" "Who?" "Rich people." "[chuckles]" "That would be my adoptive mom and dad, not me." "In that case, welcome to freedom." "Just remember one thing." "What's that?" "Watch yourself." "Around here, you either eat or you get eaten." "I think I can take care of myself." "We'll see." "Here we have our newest member to the Lebkuchen-Haus family." "What's your name?" "Ella." "Ella!" "Apparently Ella comes to us all the way from 90210." "That's Beverly Hills to you luddites." "She has a brother named Jonah." "Her dad is the vice president of a bank, and her favorite food is pizza." "Actually, it's sushi." "Good luck finding that here." "Kristen." "Welcome." "How did you know all that?" "I'm senior editor of the school paper." "If I didn't know how to use Google, I'd be pretty sucky at it." "Let me give you the tour." "Bed, desk, closet." "Right side's mine." "Bathroom's down the hall, but if you have to go number two," "I recommend using the one on the second floor because this one gets backed up." "I'll keep it in mind." "Thanks." "What you working on?" "Just a kick-ass story that's gonna blow the lid off this school." "Sounds juicy." "It's not ready yet." "Oh, sorry." "What's that one?" "Stuff." "Really?" "That's my favorite book." "Look, I'm under a deadline, so just make yourself at home and we'll hang later." "Cool?" "Oh, yeah, sure." "What Golding is trying to say is that it is human nature to reject the morality and responsibilities of civilization." "We take part in the system because we need to survive." "But remove us from that situation, remove the need to follow a certain code or set of ethics, and we will regress to our basic human nature." "Savages." "Am I not interesting you, Jonah?" "I was listening." "Then would you be so kind as to repeat what I just said?" "Why, Ms. Thoman?" "They're all paying attention." "I'm sure they heard." "Humor me." "The book says we're all savages, and we only participate 'cause we have to." "An appropriate statement, indeed." "God, can you at least pretend you're paying attention?" "[school bell ringing]" "Hey!" "Hey!" "You got a problem, dude?" "You want to take your hands off me, man?" "Yeah?" "You telling me what to do?" "Why don't you just mind your own business?" "Why don't you go mind your own?" "Leave my sister alone, okay?" "Oh, look at this guy right here!" "What, are you jealous?" "Here we have a textbook example of two male members of the species engaged in a competition to establish dominance over the most eligible female of the pack." "She's probably in heat." "You keep away from her." "Who?" "I saw you looking at her." "Maybe she just wanted to see what a real man looks like." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah, that's really funny, isn't it?" "Is that why you're on the ground?" "Who is that?" "Landon?" "Only the school's top jock." "Your brother must have done something to piss him off." "We don't fight amongst ourselves." "Oh, yeah?" "Apologize." "Sorry." "Make me believe it." "All right, get the hell out of here." "Move!" "[school bell ringing]" "Your brother better be careful." "Landon and Megan, they practically run this school." "Same crap, different school." "It's the law of nature, didn't you know?" "One day." "That's got to be a new record." "He was nothing I couldn't handle." "I thought we both agreed it was going to be different this time." "What was I supposed to do, just walk away?" "I just want you to be careful." "Dad said" "Yeah, I wouldn't want to disappoint the parents, would I?" "He's the only real father you've ever had." "You've gotta realize he just wants the best for you." "By shipping me off and making me someone else problem?" "He's trying to help you, Jonah." "I'm trying to help you." "Yeah, well, no one asked you to." "I just want you to be careful." "You know, for once I'd actually like to be someplace where I actually fit in." "Look at him." "He's a total jerk, but everyone respects him, everyone likes him." "Maybe I'd like to know what that feels like for once." "Who cares what anyone thinks... as long as we stick together." "That's easy for you to say." "No matter what school we end up in, you always end up getting good grades, making friends." "It's not that easy for me." "Jonah..." "Screw this place." "Hey." "I'm Megan." "Ella." "That's your brother, right?" "Yeah." "He's little young, but cute." "Look, we don't want to cause any trouble." "Yeah." "Sorry about what happened." "My boyfriend can be a little possessive." "Truce?" "Yeah." "[scoffs]" "This is so Downton Abbey." "Does Grandma know you took it?" "It's my parents'." "Hear that?" "Sounds like someone's got some mommy-daddy issues." "Stop it!" "Guys, we're hurting her feelings." "Why don't you and Raggedy Andy go find another school?" "Just give it back." "Now beat it." "What is this?" "I'll see you after school." "All of you." "Everyone, mind your own business." "Wait!" "Are you hurt?" "In my time, they would've put a frog in your lunchbox and called it a day." "It's fine." "I can handle it." "I'm Ms. Keegan." "I'm the guidance counselor here at Lebkuchen-Haus." "Ella." "I know it can be hard adjusting to a new school, so please, if you need anything or you just want to chat, you can call me anytime." "If you don't mind, I'd like to be excused to my room now." "Take all the time you need." "And don't worry." "I'll see to it the girls get punished appropriately." "Thank you." "You know, we don't get many twins here." "It's interesting." "[voice whispers] Gretel..." "That's some good reflexes you got there, bro." "Coach could use a guy like you." "I'm not interested." "Oh, really?" "You know, we're first in the state." "Yeah." "Three years in a row." "I'm not the team type." "You know this mysterious loner thing you got going?" "That shit doesn't work here, man." "Why are you even talking to me?" "I like to win." "And I think our chances would be better with you on the team." "Look, about before, I'm sorry about that." "Okay?" "No hard feelings?" "At least come check it out." "Tomorrow morning before school." "This is where you practice?" "Think of it as a warm-up." "Hmm?" "Not interested." "Oh, really?" "Your loss, bud." "[knocking]" "Come in." "Hey." "Hi." "Is Jonah around?" "I haven't seen him." "I'm Ella, his sister." "Ella." "I read in the paper." "You like pizza, right?" "Actually, it's sushi." "I heard about what happened in the courtyard." "Word travels fast, huh?" "Well, I heard Megan and her friends have to peel potatoes all night." "I'm Charles." "I'm Jonah's roommate." "Are you leaving?" "Things are getting too crazy around here." "It's not safe." "What are you talking about?" "All the dropouts." "How do you think you and your brother were able to get in?" "I don't understand." "The last one, Barry, they said they found him wandering the courtyard in the middle of the night." "He didn't even remember his own name." "He just... snapped." "Like something sucked his soul out and left him like a shell." "Like a zombie." "Really?" "Something funny's going on." "I'm not gonna wait around to be next." "Where did you get that?" "Oh." "It's my roommate's." "You know this book?" "Look, if you know what's good for you, you'll get you and your brother as far away from here as possible." "You hear me?" "[door closes]" "Hello?" "Hello?" "[thud]" "Hello?" "Is anybody here?" "Hello?" "Who's there?" "Hello?" "You made it." "This isn't a warm-up, is it?" "Uh, no, it's not." "Don't worry." "We don't bite." "What is this place?" "This is The Circle." "The Circle?" "What's that?" "Did you know this school was originally founded by witches?" "Are you serious?" "Each year, the most promising students are selected to join The Circle in order to fulfill their potential." "Potential?" "Greatness." "So it's like some kind of secret society?" "This school has had three presidents attend here, two governors, four senators." "Our brothers and sisters of The Circle have gone on to take their place among the highest top echelons of business, science, medicine." "Because they realized their potential." "What do you mean?" "Like they used magic?" "Isn't that cheating?" "How'd you do that?" "We can all do that." "That's what The Circle's about." "Once your power's awakened, you can do anything you want." "Anything?" "Look, there are no tricks here." "No optical illusions or anything." "Everything you see is real." "You can do this, too, Jonah." "It's okay." "We all stood where you are now, and we said the same thing." "You can make anybody do that?" "Not anybody." "You have to be special." "It's passed down." "My mother's side of the family was originally from Europe." "I have her blood inside me." "This is crazy." "I'm an orphan." "I barely know my parents." "How do I know if I'm descended from anything like this?" "There's a mark on the back of your head, just above the hairline." "It's a circle." "How'd you know that?" "Well, I have one, too." "A birthmark?" "Think of it as a birth rite." "Whether you realize it or not, you were meant to come to this school since the day you were born." "What about fate?" "Who do you think controls fate?" "Look, you have this power, too, Jonah." "Let us help you awaken it." "But remember, what happens here, what you see, what you experience..." "You don't tell a living soul." "That is the price." "We must always work in secret." "So you haven't seen her since last night." "She said she was gonna be working on her paper all night." "Well, I realize your concerns, but you have to remember this is a high school." "Kids have fun, they take off, do stupid things." "She didn't seem like the type." "You'd be surprised what I found going on here." "I've heard there's been a lot of dropouts." "Is that true?" "Lebkuchen-Haus is one of the top schools in the country." "Its academic program is disciplined, strict, second to none." "From time to time we get students who simply can't handle the pressure." "And they just all happen to be part of the outreach program?" "Well, actually, the outreach program was my idea." "I was tired of seeing nothing but privileged trust-fund babies with their private tutors and sense of entitlement." "I thought it'd be good to bring in some new blood." "But unfortunately the students in the outreach program were less likely to have the kind of support system that some of the more affluent students can afford." "They become overwhelmed." "We do what we can to help, but it's inevitable that some are simply eaten up by the system, as it were." "Eaten up by the system?" "But, Ella, your grades, your test scores, you're too smart to be worrying about the other students." "Let me worry about them." "It's my job, not yours." "In the meantime, I wouldn't be surprised if Kristen was back in the room right now." "Probably sleeping off whatever it was she did last night." "Probably." "Remember, I'm always here for you." "Charles, I really need to talk to you." "Let's see." "Circles." "I see them everywhere." "I'm gonna follow them and see where they lead." "They're taking students out in the middle of the night." "I don't know why or what happens exactly, but they're never the same." "Something's happening." "Whoever that is, I think he's the one behind it." "What the heck is going on here?" "[cell phone ringing]" "Don't feel like talking, huh?" "Ella." "What were you doing in the woods?" "What are you talking about?" "I followed Mr. Sebastian there." "I saw you." "Wait." "You're stalking the headmaster?" "Something strange is going on at this school, and my roommate thinks he's behind it." "What do you mean, something strange?" "I don't know." "You tell me, since you were there with your new friends." "Is that what this is about?" "It's funny what a difference a day makes." "Landon apologized for what he did." "What about me and his girlfriend?" "She" "She embarrassed me in front of the whole entire school." "I'm sure she's sorry." "Oh, so you're speaking for her now, huh?" "What's your problem?" "My problem is that you're making friends with the wrong people." "Or maybe you're just jealous." "You can't be serious." "Jealous that I've made friends and you haven't?" "You know, for once you're not the center of attention, or the good little girl who has to rescue her poor brother." "Look..." "I'm just watching out for you." "I mean, if there was something going on," "I just want you to be careful." "No one asked you to come." "I was trying to help." "Doesn't appear that I need it now, do I?" "[scoffs]" "If there was something going on, if you did know something, you would tell me, wouldn't you?" "Of course." "Why wouldn't I?" "Okay, then." "See you around." "What were you working on, Kristen?" "What is going on here?" "[Greta reading] "In the Old World, witches and warlocks lived together in harmony, using their abilities for good to help their non-magical brothers and sisters." "However, when the New World was discovered, one of them, a young and ambitious witch, saw the opportunity to use her powers to rule the new land." "She called herself the Great Witch of the Woods." "Unwilling to sit back and watch as centuries of goodwill were undone, a group of witches broke off from the rest, dedicating their lives and craft to hunt down those of their kind who would use their powers for evil." "They became witch slayers." "Most of the Great Witch's original followers known as The Circle were executed during the Salem Witch Trials." "However, she soon found new followers." "And now over 400 years old, the only way for the Great Witch of the Woods to survive is feed on the souls of the young." "The Circle's job is to bring her food."" "Oh, my." "Wow." ""The Circle." Now, that's something I haven't heard about in a long time." "So you have heard about it." "Of course." "I was a student here once myself, you know." "Walk this campus long enough, and you'll hear all kinds of stories." "So is it true?" "This school was founded in 1829 by Benjamin Corey, one of the descendants of Giles and Martha Corey, who were both executed in Salem in 1692 as part of the Salem Witch Trials." "There are some students who believe that Benjamin started a secret society called The Circle." "A secret society which advanced his ancestors' teachings among the privileged few." "What do you think?" "The school has never officially acknowledged the existence of secret societies." "But you as a former student..." "Are you familiar with the stories of the Brothers Grimm?" "Fairy tale?" "Are they?" "Is it possible that their stories, from "Hansel and Gretel" to "Rumplestiltskin"" "were actually written with an entirely different purpose in mind?" "Such as?" "There are some people who think that the brothers were involved in these ancient rituals, and that their stories were actually warnings passed down from generation to generation." "To warn people about the Circle." "Do you know what the words "Lebkuchen-Haus" mean?" "No." "Gingerbread house." "Where the Great Witch would lure her prey." "Look, they're just stories." "But-- Do me a favor." "Don't get involved." "Stay out of it." "But if The Circle is real, and the Great Witch of the Woods is real, then witch slayers might be real." "No good can come from this." "But Kristen might have found something that cost her her life." "It's ancient history." "And if it isn't?" "There might be witch slayers at this school right now." "Look, if I promise you to look into it, will you agree to leave it alone?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "You're welcome, Ella." "Uh-- Everything all right, Ella?" "Yeah." "I'm just gonna get going." "Excuse me." "My parents were witch slayers?" "Lebkuchen-Haus." "[line ringing] Come on, pick up, pick up." "Hey, Jonah, it's Ella." "Please call me back as soon as you get this." "Okay, bye." "All right, let's get him." "Come on, Jonah, open up if you're in there." "Jonah." "[door closes] [footsteps]" "This is what we do." "We help souls cross into a better place." "What do you mean, cross?" "The world's a dark and nasty place." "It is our responsibility to help those souls less fortunate than ourselves to find the light, to find paradise." "Once you've helped, the Great Witch will reward you and awaken your powers." "The other day you said after your powers are awakened, you can do anything." "You can, and you will." "What's going on?" "Just watch." "Charles." "Charles." "Jonah, what's going on?" "Silence." "Megan?" "It's her turn to be awakened." "Don't let them do this." "Don't worry." "This is a good thing." "Please!" "To the Great Witch of the Woods, we bring you a soul to protect." "Come on, Jonah, do something." "What'd you do to him?" "Don't worry." "His body's still here, but his soul's in a better place." "What happens now?" "She has awakened." "[bell tolling]" "We need to talk." "Witch slayers?" "Yes, and their ancestors before them, all going back to the original Grimms, Hansel and Gretel." "The fairy tale." "It's true." "Do you know what "Lebkuchen-Haus" means?" "Gingerbread." "Just like the book." "[scoffs] I'm going back to bed." "In fact, they were twins." "The only twins before us." "I mean, that's gotta mean something." "It means two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm." "That's it." "Don't you get it?" "Our parents" "Our real parents went to this school." "You want us to follow in their footsteps as witch slayers?" "Look, this is their journal." "The last entry from Greta said," ""I know she's close." "I can feel it." "Tonight we're gonna stop her."" "Stop who?" "The Great Witch of the Woods." "Okay, what happened?" "Don't you get it?" "They came here to stop her, and now she's back." "You really believe that?" "Well, maybe that's why we're here, to finish what our parents started." "If that's really true, I say let someone else handle it." "There's no one else on the list." "If there were other witch slayers in this school, they've kept their identities a secret." "Of course they have." "[chuckles]" "And I suppose that this is some kind of magical witch-slaying weapon?" "I don't know." "Well, you're wrong." "The witches aren't here to hurt people." "They're here to help." "Oh, is that what they told you?" "They're here to help souls cross to the other side, to a better place." "They've been freed." "Like Charles?" "Yeah." "I was there." "I saw what happened last night." "He's in a better place now." "They're feeding souls to the Great Witch of the Woods." "Do you know how crazy that sounds?" "Do you know how crazy any of this sounds?" "They told me I was special, that I have a gift." "You probably have it, too." "We are special." "We have powers." "Come to the next meeting with me." "Let me show you." "Join?" "We're supposed to be stopping them." "Maybe you're wrong." "Maybe our birth parents wanted us to come here to make the most of our abilities." "For the first time in my life, I fit in." "I'm popular." "I'm not about to jeopardize that." "Look, something bad has happened to your roommate, and maybe one of us is next." "I've heard enough." ""Originating from old Germanic tradition, the blade is formed from a special metal created through the process of alchemy." "It is known to be effective in the hunting of magical beings, including witches."" "What you have to remember is that it was a sailor's responsibility to stay aboard the Patna until everyone was rescued." "To abandon their post was viewed as a crime." "So not only was Jim a coward, he was a criminal for abandoning the people who counted on him the most." "Can anyone tell me how it was that Jim found redemption?" "Ella?" "Yes, ma'am?" "Well, since you're paying such close attention, perhaps you could tell the class how Jim finds redemption in the story?" "Well, I, uh" "No, ma'am." "[school bell rings]" "Read chapters 19 through 23 for next time." "What's going on, Ella?" "I'm sorry." "I just haven't been able to sleep lately." "Well, I read your transcripts from your last school." "Absolutely outstanding." "The last couple of days, you have seemed distracted." "I know." "I'm just not focusing." "Well, you're a brilliant student, and I'd hate to see someone like you lose focus." "It won't happen again." "I promise." "I hope not." "Don't worry about her." "Good job." "Thanks." "Excellent." "Thank you." "Pretty good." "Awesome, as always." "Hey, I don't mean to intrude." "Are you okay?" "You look exhausted." "Yeah." "I was just wondering if you've heard anything on Kristen." "As a matter of fact, her mother just called me this morning." "She did?" "Apparently Kristen was stressed out about some story she was writing, and she needed some time off." "So why didn't she call?" "You look so tired." "Why go don't you go back to your room and get some rest?" "I'd be happy to write a permission slip if you need to skip a class." "That's fine." "Thank you." "Anytime." "[heart beating]" "No way!" "Mind if I come in?" "I'm actually doing some homework." "Thanks." "[door closes]" "You seem troubled." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Just getting some homework done." "You've been practicing." "Maybe a little." "What was it?" "Tell me." "Just this." "I made it move." "Like... this?" "That's incredible." "First thing I ever moved was my cell phone." "It took me three hours before I could get it to move an inch." "I wanted to start small." "Don't worry." "Once you're awakened, you'll be able to do so much more." "Sure nothing's bothering you?" "No." "Everything's been great." "Good." "Glad to hear." "What was it like..." "to be awakened?" "It's like you've been sleeping your whole life, and suddenly instead of just dreaming, everything is bright and vivid, and you have control over all of it." "And how'd you find out that you were, uh, special?" "When I was a freshman, there was a girl on the lacrosse team with me." "She saw how fast I was." "I was a top scorer, and I'd only been on the team a couple of weeks." "So one night, she invited me to a Circle meeting." "But when you're like us, part of you always knows." "Just like I'm sure part of you always felt that something was missing, that something wasn't..." "Quite right?" "So you did feel it." "Yeah." "And now?" "It feels, uh, different." "Better?" "Like I belong." "That's because you do." "[bell tolling]" "Hey, where's Jonah?" "Reiko was asked to keep him company." "Oh, yeah?" "This is a secret meeting." "The Great Witch wishes to speak." "We are here, Great One." "Speak to us." "My children, foreseen a great disturbance, I have." "The witch slayers have once again returned to these woods." "The twins are scions of the Grimms, the brother and sister of prophecy are they." "Jonah's no witch slayer." "I recruited him myself." "And yet, flow through his veins their blood does." "Blinded are you by his potential." "The question is, which path will the heir choose?" "Look, we offer him greatness." "He'd be an idiot to deny the us." "And you are convinced of this?" "Yeah." "Then your responsibility he shall be." "If they do not join us they must be sacrificed." "Hey, buddy." "Heard you had a good time last night." "Huh?" "Hey, don't be shy, man." "What happened?" "Hmm?" "Yeah, I knew it, buddy." "What about you?" "What'd you do last night?" "Nothing." "Just studying." "Wasn't sure you guys you actually did that." "Well, we do have to graduate, you know." "So, um, listen." "We've been talking, and we think it's your turn." "My turn?" "Yeah, you know, to be awakened." "[hums fanfare]" "Really?" "Yeah." "Unless you don't think you're ready." "No" " I mean, of course, yeah." "Yeah?" "See you tonight then?" "Sure." "Good." "Pssshh!" "Well, well." "I don't want any trouble." "We need to talk." "Later." "I'm late for class." "I think we'll talk now." "Inside!" "Nice room." "It was so depressing when Kristen lived here." "All work and no play." "Did you actually read her writing?" "Total buzz kill." "What did you do to her?" "I didn't say you could talk." "Now, a little birdie told me you think you're a witch slayer." "You killed her, didn't you?" "Do you really think you're strong enough to take us on all alone?" "Who says I'm alone?" "Maybe this school is full of witch slayers just waiting." "We've been watching." "You're the only one." "You're not going to get away with this." "Yes, we are." "You think just because your parents were witch slayers you're so strong?" "So powerful?" "Huh?" "I'm gonna give you a shot to prove it." "Go ahead." "Slay me." "Is that the best you can do?" "Let me tell you what's gonna happen." "First thing, I'm gonna kill you." "Right here." "Then I'm gonna bring your body to your brother and make sure he sees what I did before we kill him, too." "Then we're gonna burn you both." "Just like they did to your parents." "They were weak... just like you." "[groans]" "Now, that's the best I can do." "Ella." "Ella, wait." "I know what you're up to." "Stay back." "I don't think you do." "I think it's time we had a little chat." "We've waited a long time for your arrival." "Once there were dozens." "Now I'm the only one left." "If The Circle I knew I was a witch slayer, they would've killed me years ago." "How long has the Great Witch been out there?" "Since before the school was built." "Since before our ancestors landed in Plymouth." "And she can really be stopped?" "Not alone." "According to the book, only twin descendants of the family Grimm possesses the ability." "Well, that's not gonna happen." "Why is that?" "My brother's one of them." "Don't worry." "He can fraternize with them." "He can attend their rituals, but in his heart, he will never truly be one of them." "So they may try to hurt him." "Yeah, which is why I need to train you, so we can protect him." "So what, is there like books or videos or maybe" "We don't have time for books." "En garde." "Ah, you truly are your mother's daughter." "How about a warning next time?" "I did." "That was a crappy warning." "What, do you think they're gonna warn you?" "They're never gonna warn you!" "I was just saying maybe you can be a little nicer about it, that's all." "Okay." "Pretty please with sugar on top." "En garde." "Okay." "Let's work on your reflexes." "So, Mr. Sebastian is a witch slayer." "Looks like it." "I never liked him." "You know what to do." "Yes, ma'am." "The important thing is you must be ready when the time comes." "How'd my parents die?" "After graduation, your mom was pregnant, so they moved away, and that's when they had you and your brother." "But word had gotten out that the Witch was growing stronger." "After years of lying dormant, she was building an army, getting ready to strike." "So they came back." "So yes, they came back, but they were betrayed." "An old classmate of theirs, she lured them into the woods, she said she wanted to be a slayer, that she needed to know how to fight witches." "Who was it?" "Her name was Cassandra Keegan." "Ms. Keegan, the guidance counselor?" "The powers of evil does not play by the rules." "If you truly want to be safe-- truly-- you can trust no one." "And my brother?" "He said he could never be one of them." "I never said you could trust him." "Run!" "Run!" "Going somewhere?" "This is for Megan." "[stab]" "Bring forth the sacrifice." "Ella." "Jonah!" "Jonah, please." "Silence!" "Hey, what's going on?" "She needs our help to cross over, Jonah." "Don't you want to help her?" "Yeah, but-- Hey, Jonah." "What's the problem, man?" "I thought you wanted to be awakened." "Her soul is going to a better place." "A happier place." "You need to do this." "Do it, Jonah." "Do it." "To the Great Witch of the Woods, we bring you a soul to protect!" "[thunderclap]" "Kill her, Jonah!" "I don't want to fight you." "You're one of us." "Now kill her!" "Mr. Sebastian has taught you well, but it was not enough to save him, and it will not be enough to save you." "Jonah, we're supposed to be on the same side." "Don't listen to her!" "The Circle doesn't help anyone." "You're not helping anyone cross over." "You're sacrificing them to the Witch of the Woods." "You're lying!" "Now finish her!" "Jonah... please." "No." "I can't do it." "Very well." "Kill them both." "Are you ready?" "You have no idea what you've given up." "I think I'll take that chance." "I can't hit a girl." "But I can." "I knew it was a mistake bringing you into this." "You heard what she said." "The Circle isn't about doing good." "You had so much potential, and you threw it away." "Landon, we can use our potential to do some real good." "Oh, I plan on it." "Pity." "Leave my brother alone." "Oh, you're in way over your head." "No." "You are." "That's impossible!" "No one can do that." "A witch slayer can." "Jonah, you okay?" "Yeah." "She's getting away." "Come on." "I'm really sorry that I didn't listen to you." "I don't know about you, but I think it's time she pays for what she did to the school." "And our parents." "Boo!" "The Great Witch has been expecting you." "There she is." "I'm everywhere." "Don't you get it?" "She's the Great Witch." "It's been her all along." "Clever boy." "A shame things didn't work out between us." "You would've made a formidable ally." "For centuries I've lived here, preying on the weak." "Finally I decided why not expand my resources?" "So you had Benjamin Corey build the school." "And now my disciples are everywhere." "One day the pitiful people of this world will wake up and realize who's calling the shots." "All I ask in return is a little nourishment." "Hmm..." "I can't decide which of you to eat first." "I've always been partial to boys, but Ella looks particularly delicious." "Your parents were tasty, too." "I can't wait to sink my teeth into you." "I've got something to sink into you." "[screaming]" "Our parents." "Hey, how'd we get here?" "Hey, who are you guys?" "Think they'll ever remember?" "I hope not." "All packed?" "Almost done." "You sure about this?" "Well, like the Great Witch said, this school gives a lot of rise to some powerful witches." "Someone's gotta slay 'em." "There's a lot of pages left to fill." "I wonder what Adam and Allyson would say about this." "I know, but Mom and Dad would've wanted it." "Ah." "Oh." "What's this?" "I don't know." "Looks like someone left you a note." "It's from Mr. Sebastian." "Says, "Ella, hopefully everything has gone well..."" "[Mr. Sebastian] "...and according to plan." "Inside this envelope, you will find something your parents left behind, something I'm sure they would've wanted you and Jonah to have." "Hopefully we will meet again in another life." "Fondly, Mr. Sebastian."" "What is it?" "It's our original birth certificate." "No way!" "Yeah." "Look!" "Our real names." "You know what?" "What are you doing?" "Signing our real names." "Well, Gretel?" "Yes, Hansel?" "Let's slay some witches."
