Venus India Price!

Where do you think you're going?

Venus!

Venus.

What is all this?

I'm not going home, Jaz.

What did they do this time?

I'm not about to let you go off by yourself.

Where are you gonna stay?

I don't know. I'll find a place.

-It's dangerous to go alone. -I'm not afraid.

You don't think anything could go wrong?

All right, I'll make you a deal.

You know we live in one of the most haunted places

in the country, right?

Haunted? Ohio?

Yeah. For real.

-I know some stories. -Ugh.

Listen, if you come with me

and let me tell all of my stories, then...

I'll let you decide if you want to run away.

How many?

Just a few.

It'll be fun if you pay attention.

You promise you won't just drive me back home?

Say you promise.

I promise.

And after I listen to your stories

you'll leave me alone?

If that's what you want.

Pop the trunk.

- Nobody's here. - Who lives in there?

It's a rental now, but a few years ago,

a witch lived in that cabin.

How old do you think I am?

Not that kind of a witch.

Come on, I'll show you something.

I was here with Alex a few weeks ago.

And we found this.

We think the witch used it.

Mirrors can help with protection.

They reflect negative energy.

Come on.

It's clean.

I didn't drink out of it yet.

The witch came to this place

because her father was a lot like our parents.

He spent her entire childhood telling her

that she was a boy.

But as soon as she was old enough, she moved away.

After that, she met a powerful magic worker

who changed her life forever.

So... Is there really a chance this could work?

Everything you need to know is in there.

I won't promise anything, but it's worth a shot.

It's a full moon tonight. It's the perfect time to try.

The most important thing to remember

is do not open your eyes.

For how long?

However long it takes.

You're beautiful.

Well? Did it work?

Mm.

I'm so happy for you, Julian.

I've never seen a transformation like yours.

For the first time in my life, I feel I'm in the right skin.

To be honest, I didn't think it would go this well.

Especially after, um...

Go on.

I tried my best to keep my eyes closed.

You opened your eyes?

I don't remember, okay?

-It-- it's-- -Did you see him?

I think so.

-Is it that bad? -Did he say anything?

I don't remember.

That's good.

You wouldn't be able to forget it if he did.

Ah.

You're not mad at me, are you?

Hi there.

- Hi. - I'm Jacob,

your new neighbor.

Thought I'd introduce myself.

Julian.

Oh, yeah. Uh--

So, um, what brings you all the way out here?

It's beautiful here.

Not nearly this pretty where I come from.

-You grow up near here? -In town.

It's a bit of a walk from your place.

-Isn't it? -Worth it.

- To meet you. - Oh.

Caught me on a good day.

I'm sorry. Um, I should really get going.

- Already? - Yeah.

But good luck with your place and everything.

I'll stop by later.

You're here.

I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me.

How'd you get these?

You like them?

Weird.

These are my favorite.

But...

They're not even in season.

Mm.

I have my ways.

Jacob, this is extremely tempting,

But I just wasn't expecting to go out tonight, so,

um, maybe some other time.

Is that a Felner?

It is.

-Was a gift. -It's amazing.

-Mm-hmm. -Can I see it?

Maybe another time.

Look, my friend's expecting me.

Um, I'm really busy.

You know, thank you for the flowers, but I gotta go.

Are you afraid of me, Julian?

Yeah.

Stop!

Come on, Julian.

It wasn't easy to get your favorite flowers.

- Hello? - Hey.

-Julian? -Are-- Are you free tomorrow?

What?

It's only been a few days, and you already have some man

barging into your life?

It's not easy being beautiful.

-I haven't told you everything. -You haven't?

There's something wrong with Jacob.

I've spent a lot of years dreaming about the perfect man.

All the little details, his face, his voice.

Somehow, Jacob is that perfect guy.

I mean, he even smells the way I imagined.

The perfect man.

Mm-hmm.

Impossible.

I knew he'd be a problem.

Annalisa?

Do you know what he wants?

I want you to remember.

What he did for you was a transaction.

You owe him nothing.

-I didn't give him anything. -You did.

All that negative energy you'd been carrying all those years,

that's sustenance for a spirit like him.

He's a spirit?

He was nothing before I created him.

We helped each other for a very long time.

But now... things have changed.

Nothing lasts forever.

I--

Wait.

I'll talk to him.

-Looks like you've been busy. -Jacob.

I gave you what you wanted.

Why won't you leave me alone?

I could give you so much more.

What if I don't want more?

We have to banish him.

Hey, how much time do we have?

As soon as he finds enough energy, he'll return.

And you think we can get rid of him for good?

We have to try.

I can't predict him anymore. It's not safe.

Do you have any ancestral spirits you're close to?

Anyone who could help us?

Bitch, we're better off without them.

For the good of all and harm to none,

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun comes up,

may his spirit be released as the moon goes down

for the good of all and the harm to none,

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun comes up,

may his spirit be released as the moon goes down

for the good of all and harm to none,

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun comes up,

may his spirit be released as the moon goes down

for the good of all and harm to none,

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun comes up,

may his spirit be released--

...as the moon goes down,

For the good of all

and harm to none--

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun goes up,

may his spirit be released as the moon goes down.

For the good of all and in harm to none,

I call in my power,

I reclaim my will as the sun comes up,

may his spirit be released as the moon goes down.

-For the good of all... -Julian...

I call on my power,

-I reclaim my will-- -You can open your eyes.

Is it over?
